Michael Smith | 557da66 | 2005-11-24 11:16:53 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 7 | GStreamer Good Plug-ins. |

Thomas Vander Stichele | cb48063 | 2005-10-03 17:48:57 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 10 | The 0.9.x series is a development series and not recommended for end users. |
| 11 | It is not API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.8.x series. |
| 12 | It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.8.x series. |

Michael Smith | 557da66 | 2005-11-24 11:16:53 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 18 | A collection of plug-ins you'd want to have right next to you on the |
| 19 | battlefield. Shooting sharp and making no mistakes, these plug-ins have it |
| 20 | all: good looks, good code, and good licensing. Documented and dressed up |
| 21 | in tests. If you're looking for a role model to base your own plug-in on, |
| 22 | here it is. |

| 26 | let us know - it is a matter of honour for us to ensure Blondie doesn't look |
| 27 | like he's been walking 100 miles through the desert without water. |

Michael Smith | 557da66 | 2005-11-24 11:16:53 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 30 | This module contains a set of plug-ins that we consider to have good quality |
| 31 | code, correct functionality, our preferred license (LGPL for the plug-in |
| 32 | code, LGPL or LGPL-compatible for the supporting library). |
| 33 | We believe distributors can safely ship these plug-ins. |
| 34 | People writing elements should base their code on these elements. |
