| Release notes for GStreamer Ugly Plugins 1.1.4 |
| |
| The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new bug-fix release |
| in the 1.x stable series of the |
| core of the GStreamer streaming media framework. |
| |
| |
| The 1.x series is a stable series targeted at end users. |
| 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 and |
| will not affect an existing 0.10.x installation. |
| |
| |
| |
| "When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk." |
| |
| |
| 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 plugins 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. |
| |
| |
| 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 plugins 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. |
| |
| |
| This module contains a set of plugins that have good quality and correct |
| functionality, but distributing them might pose problems. The license |
| on either the plugins 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 plugins. |
| |
| |
| Other modules containing plugins are: |
| |
| |
| gst-plugins-base |
| contains a basic set of well-supported plugins |
| gst-plugins-good |
| contains a set of well-supported plugins under our preferred license |
| gst-plugins-bad |
| contains a set of less supported plugins that haven't passed the |
| rigorous quality testing we expect, or are still missing documentation |
| and/or unit tests |
| gst-libav |
| contains a set of codecs plugins based on libav (formerly gst-ffmpeg) |
| |
