-Release notes for GStreamer 1.0.0
-The GStreamer project is pleased to announce the very first release of the
-new API and ABI-stable 1.x series of the GStreamer multimedia framework.
+Release notes for GStreamer 1.5.1
-The 1.x series is a stable series targeted at end users. It is not API or ABI
-compatible with the 0.10.x series. It can, however, be installed in parallel
-with the 0.10.x series and will not affect an existing 0.10.x installation.
-Major improvements include: more flexible memory handling; extensible and
-negotiable metadata for buffers; caps negotiation and renegotiation mechanisms,
-decoupled from buffer allocation; improved caps renegotiation; automatic
-re-sending of state for dynamic pipelines; reworked and more fine-grained pad
-probing; simpler and more descriptive audio and video caps; more efficient
-allocation of buffers, events and other mini objects; improved timestamp
-handling; support for gobject-inspection-based language bindings; countless
-other improvements.
+The GStreamer team is pleased to announce the first release of the unstable
+1.5 release series. The 1.5 release series is adding new features on top of
+the 1.0, 1.2 and 1.4 series and is part of the API and ABI-stable 1.x release
+series of the GStreamer multimedia framework. The unstable 1.5 release series
+will lead to the stable 1.6 release series in the next weeks, and newly added
+API can still change until that point.
-Most of these changes involve the GStreamer plugin API. The application API
-has changed comparatively little, and most applications should be fairly easy
-to port to the new API. There is a porting guide available.
-The GStreamer team would like to thank everyone who helped bring this release
-about, whether by submitting patches, reporting bugs, testing, sponsoring
-development, attending hackfests, or simply supplying moral support.
+Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows will be provided separately
+during the unstable 1.5 release series.
-This is the end of a long development process, but also the beginning of
-one. This release does not mark the pinnacle of perfection, but the point
-where the team is content with the API and stability and quality of the code
-base in general, especially compared to the old 0.10 series.
-There will be bugs to fix, and starting from this release there will be
-distinct bug-fixing and feature development cycles, with the goal of getting
-bug-fixes out quicker and unencumbered by other more risky changes. See
- http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/wiki/ReleasePlanning/RoadMap
+This module, gstreamer, only contains core functionality.
+For actual media playback, you will need other modules.
-for a tentative road map and possible schedule.
+gst-plugins-base
+contains a basic set of well-supported plugins
+gst-plugins-good
+contains a set of well-supported plugins under our preferred license
+gst-plugins-ugly
+contains a set of well-supported plugins, but might pose problems for
+ distributors
+gst-plugins-bad
+contains a set of less supported plugins that haven't passed the
+ rigorous quality testing we expect, or are still missing documentation
+ and/or unit tests
+gst-libav
+contains a set of codecs plugins based on libav (formerly gst-ffmpeg)
-=== Modules
-This module, gstreamer, only contains core functionality.
-For actual media playback, you will also need other modules:
- gst-plugins-base : a basic set of well-supported plugins
- gst-plugins-good : a set of well-supported plugins under our preferred license
- gst-plugins-ugly : a set of well-supported plugins, but might pose problems
- for distributors
- gst-plugins-bad : a set of less supported plugins that haven't passed the
- rigorous quality testing we expect
- gst-libav : a set of codecs plugins based on libav (formerly gst-ffmpeg)
