+This is GStreamer core 1.16.1.
-Release notes for GStreamer 0.11.3 "Thrill of the Hunt"
-
+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 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.
-The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new release
-in the 0.11.x unstable series of the
-core of the GStreamer streaming media framework.
+Full release notes will one day be found at:
+ https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/releases/1.16/
-The 0.11.x series is an unstable series targeted at developers and will
-eventually lead up to the stable 1.0 series.
-It is not API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.10.x series.
-It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.10.x series.
+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.
-The 0.11.x series has improved memory management and features
-various cleanups and enhancements.
+ - 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.
-This module, gstreamer, only contains core functionality.
-For actual media playback, you will need other modules.
+ - gst-plugins-good: a set of well-supported plugins under our preferred
+ license
-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
-contains a set of less supported plug-ins that haven't passed the
- rigorous quality testing we expect
+ - 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.
