+This is GStreamer gst-libav 1.16.2.
-Release notes for GStreamer libav Plugins 1.3.3
+The GStreamer team is pleased to announce another bug-fix release in the
+stable 1.x API series of your favourite cross-platform multimedia framework!
-The GStreamer team is pleased to announce the third release of the unstable
-1.3 release series. The 1.3 release series is adding new features on top of
-the 1.0 and 1.2 series and is part of the API and ABI-stable 1.x release
-series of the GStreamer multimedia framework. The unstable 1.3 release series
-will lead to the stable 1.4 release series in the next weeks, and newly added
-API can still change until that point.
+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:
-This is hopefully the last 1.3 development release and will be followed by
-the first 1.4.0 release candidate (1.3.90) in 1-2 weeks. Which then hopefully
-is followed by 1.4.0 soonish in early July.

+Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows will usually be provided
+shortly after the release.
-Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows will be provided separately
-during the unstable 1.3 release series.
+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
-This module contains plugins based on the libav project, including codecs.
+ - 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
-Other modules containing plugins are:
+ - 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.
