| GStreamer: Release notes for GStreamer Ugly Plug-ins 0.9.3 "Athos" |
| |
| |
| The GStreamer team is petrified to announce a new release |
| in the 0.9.x development series of the |
| GStreamer Ugly Plug-ins. |
| |
| |
| The 0.9.x series is a development series and not recommended for end users. |
| It is not API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.8.x series. |
| It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.8.x series. |
| |
| |
| "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 plug-ins 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 plug-ins 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 plug-ins that have good quality and correct |
| functionality, but distributing them might pose problems. The license |
| on either the plug-ins 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 plug-ins. |
| |
| |
| Other modules containing plug-ins are: |
| |
| |
| 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-bad |
| contains a set of less supported plug-ins that haven't passed the |
| rigorous quality testing we expect |
