-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.
-
-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
+This is GStreamer core 1.16.0.
+
+The GStreamer team is thrilled to announce a new major feature release in the
+stable 1.0 API series of your favourite cross-platform multimedia framework!
+
+As always, this release is again packed with new features, bug fixes and
other improvements.
-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.
-
-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
-

-
-for a tentative road map and possible schedule.
-
-=== 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)

+The 1.16 release series adds new features on top of the 1.14 series and is
+part of the API and ABI-stable 1.x release series of the GStreamer multimedia
+framework.
+
+Full release notes will one day be found at:
+
+ https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/releases/1.16/
+
+Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows will usually be provided
+shortly after the release.
+
+This module will not be very useful by itself and should be used in conjunction
+with other GStreamer modules for a complete multimedia experience.
+
+ - gstreamer: provides the core GStreamer libraries and some generic plugins
+
+ - gst-plugins-base: a basic set of well-supported plugins and additional
+ media-specific GStreamer helper libraries for audio,
+ video, rtsp, rtp, tags, OpenGL, etc.
+
+ - gst-plugins-good: a set of well-supported plugins under our preferred
+ license
+
+ - gst-plugins-ugly: a set of well-supported plugins which might pose
+ problems for distributors
+
+ - gst-plugins-bad: a set of plugins of varying quality that have not made
+ their way into one of core/base/good/ugly yet, for one
+ reason or another. Many of these are are production quality
+ elements, but may still be missing documentation or unit
+ tests; others haven't passed the rigorous quality testing
+ we expect yet.
+
+ - gst-libav: a set of codecs plugins based on the ffmpeg library. This is
+ where you can find audio and video decoders and encoders
+ for a wide variety of formats including H.264, AAC, etc.
+
+ - gstreamer-vaapi: hardware-accelerated video decoding and encoding using
+ VA-API on Linux. Primarily for Intel graphics hardware.
+
+ - gst-omx: hardware-accelerated video decoding and encoding, primarily for
+ embedded Linux systems that provide an OpenMax
+ implementation layer such as the Raspberry Pi.
+
+ - gst-rtsp-server: library to serve files or streaming pipelines via RTSP
+
+ - gst-editing-services: library an plugins for non-linear editing
