-GStreamer: Release notes for GStreamer Ugly Plug-ins 0.9.3 "Athos"
+GStreamer: Release notes for GStreamer Good Plug-ins 0.9.6 "Everything's Not Lost"
The GStreamer team is petrified to announce a new release
in the 0.9.x development series of the
-GStreamer Ugly Plug-ins.
+GStreamer Good Plug-ins.
The 0.9.x series is a development series and not recommended for end users.
It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.8.x series.
-"When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk."
+"Such ingratitude. After all the times I've saved your life."
-There are times when the world needs a color between black and white.
-Quality code to match the good's, but two-timing, backstabbing and ready to
-sell your freedom down the river. These plug-ins might have a patent noose
-around their neck, or a lock-up license, or any other problem that makes you
-think twice about shipping them.
+A collection of plug-ins you'd want to have right next to you on the
+battlefield. Shooting sharp and making no mistakes, these plug-ins have it
+all: good looks, good code, and good licensing. Documented and dressed up
+in tests. If you're looking for a role model to base your own plug-in on,
+here it is.
-We don't call them ugly because we like them less. Does a mother love her
-son less because he's not as pretty as the other ones ? No - she commends
-him on his great personality. These plug-ins are the life of the party.
-And we'll still step in and set them straight if you report any unacceptable
-behaviour - because there are two kinds of people in the world, my friend:
-those with a rope around their neck and the people who do the cutting.
+If you find a plot hole or a badly lip-synced line of code in them,
+let us know - it is a matter of honour for us to ensure Blondie doesn't look
+like he's been walking 100 miles through the desert without water.
-This module contains a set of plug-ins that have good quality and correct
-functionality, but distributing them might pose problems. The license
-on either the plug-ins or the supporting libraries might not be how we'd
-like. The code might be widely known to present patent problems.
-Distributors should check if they want/can ship these plug-ins.
-
+This module contains a set of plug-ins that we consider to have good quality
+ code, correct functionality, our preferred license (LGPL for the plug-in
+ code, LGPL or LGPL-compatible for the supporting library).
+We believe distributors can safely ship these plug-ins.
+People writing elements should base their code on these elements.
Other modules containing plug-ins are:
gst-plugins-base
contains a basic set of well-supported plug-ins
-gst-plugins-good
-contains a set of well-supported plug-ins under our preferred license
+gst-plugins-ugly
+contains a set of well-supported plug-ins, but might pose problems for
+ distributors
gst-plugins-bad

rigorous quality testing we expect
