| Release notes for GStreamer 1.7.90 |
| |
| The GStreamer team is pleased to announce the first release candidate of the 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 separately |
| during the stable 1.8 release series. |
| |
| |

| For actual media playback, you will need other modules. |

| gst-plugins-good |

| distributors |
| gst-plugins-bad |

| rigorous quality testing we expect, or are still missing documentation |
| and/or unit tests |
