| Release notes for GStreamer Good Plugins 1.0.2 |
| |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| |
| |
| "Such ingratitude. After all the times I've saved your life." |
| |
| |
| A collection of plugins you'd want to have right next to you on the |
| battlefield. Shooting sharp and making no mistakes, these plugins have it |
| all: good looks, good code, and good licensing. Documented and dressed up |
| in tests. If you're looking for a role model to base your own plugin on, |
| here it is. |
| |
| |
| If you find a plot hole or a badly lip-synced line of code in them, |
| let us know - it is a matter of honour for us to ensure Blondie doesn't look |
| like he's been walking 100 miles through the desert without water. |
| |
| |
| This module contains a set of plugins that we consider to have good quality |
| code, correct functionality, our preferred license (LGPL for the plugin |
| code, LGPL or LGPL-compatible for the supporting library). |
| We believe distributors can safely ship these plugins. |
| People writing elements should base their code on these elements. |
| |
| |
| Other modules containing plugins are: |
| |
| |
| gst-plugins-base |
| contains a basic set of well-supported plugins |
| gst-plugins-ugly |
| contains a set of well-supported plugins, but might pose problems for |
| distributors |
| 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) |
| |
