+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!

+framework.
-The GStreamer team is proud to announce the first bugfix release in the stable
-1.6 release series of your favourite cross-platform multimedia framework!

-Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows are provided by the
-GStreamer project for this release.
+Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows will usually be provided
+shortly after the release.
-This release only contains bugfixes and it is safe to update from 1.6.0. For a
-full list of bugfixes see Bugzilla.
+This module will not be very useful by itself and should be used in conjunction
+with other GStreamer modules for a complete multimedia experience.
-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.
