| GStreamer: Release notes for GStreamer 0.8.8 "I'll Take Care Of You" |
| |
| |
| The GStreamer team is happy to announce a new release |
| in the 0.8.x stable series of the GStreamer streaming-media framework. |
| |
| |
| The 0.8.x series is a stable series aimed at end users. |
| It is not API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.6.x series. |
| It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.6.x series. |
| |
| |
| This module only contains core functionality. For actual media playback, |
| you will need other modules. GStreamer Plugins contains a huge set of |
| additional plugins. GStreamer FFmpeg contains a plugin based on the popular |
| FFmpeg decoding library. These modules need not have the same source version |
| as the core, as long as they are in the 0.8.x series. |
| |
| |
