| Release notes for GStreamer 1.8.0 |
| |
| The GStreamer team is pleased to announce the first release of the new stable |
| 1.8 release series. The 1.8 release series is adding new features on top of |
| the 1.0, 1.2, 1.4 and 1.6 series and is part of the API and ABI-stable 1.x |
| release series of the GStreamer multimedia framework. |
| |
| |
| Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows will be provided shortly after |
| the source release by the GStreamer project during the stable 1.8 release |
| series. |
| |
| |
| This module, gstreamer, only contains core functionality. |
| For actual media playback, you will need other modules. |

| gst-plugins-good |

| 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 |
