| Release notes for GStreamer Good Plug-ins 0.10.31 "Faster" |
| |
| |
| |
| The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new release |
| in the 0.10.x stable series of the |
| GStreamer Good Plug-ins. |
| |
| |
| The 0.10.x series is a stable series targeted at end users. |
| |
| |
| |
| "Such ingratitude. After all the times I've saved your life." |
| |
| |
| A collection of plug-ins you'd want to have right next to you on the |
| battlefield. Shooting sharp and making no mistakes, these plug-ins 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 plug-in 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 plug-ins that we consider to have good quality |
| code, correct functionality, our preferred license (LGPL for the plug-in |
| code, LGPL or LGPL-compatible for the supporting library). |
| We believe distributors can safely ship these plug-ins. |
| People writing elements should base their code on these elements. |
| |
| |
| Other modules containing plug-ins are: |
| |
| |
| gst-plugins-base |
| contains a basic set of well-supported plug-ins |
| 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 |
| |
