| Release notes for GStreamer Bad Plugins 1.3.90 |
| |
| |
| The GStreamer team is pleased to announce the first release candidate of |
| the stable 1.4 release series. The 1.4 release series is adding new features |
| on top of the 1.0 and 1.2 series and is part of the API and ABI-stable 1.x |
| release series of the GStreamer multimedia framework. |
| |
| |
| This release candidate will hopefully shortly be followed by the stable 1.4.0 |
| release if no bigger regressions or bigger issues are detected, and enough |
| testing of the release candidate happened. The new API that was added during |
| the 1.3 release series is not expected to change anymore at this point. |
| |
| |
| Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows are provided together with this |
| release. |
| |
| |
| The stable 1.4 release series is API and ABI compatible with 1.0.x, 1.2.x and |
| any other 1.x release series in the future. Compared to 1.2.x it contains some |
| new features and more intrusive changes that were considered too risky as a |
| bugfix. |
| |
| |
| |
| "That an accusation?" |
| |
| |
| No perfectly groomed moustache or any amount of fine clothing is going to |
| cover up the truth - these plugins are Bad with a capital B. |
| They look fine on the outside, and might even appear to get the job done, but |
| at the end of the day they're a black sheep. Without a golden-haired angel |
| to watch over them, they'll probably land in an unmarked grave at the final |
| showdown. |
| |
| |
| Don't bug us about their quality - exercise your Free Software rights, |
| patch up the offender and send us the patch on the fastest steed you can |
| steal from the Confederates. Because you see, in this world, there's two |
| kinds of people, my friend: those with loaded guns and those who dig. |
| You dig. |
| |
| |
| This module contains a set of plugins that aren't up to par compared to the |
| rest. They might be close to being good quality, but they're missing something |
| - be it a good code review, some documentation, a set of tests, a real live |
| maintainer, or some actual wide use. If the blanks are filled in they might be |
| upgraded to become part of either gst-plugins-good or gst-plugins-ugly, |
| depending on the other factors. |
| If the plugins break, you can't complain - instead, you can fix the |
| problem and send us a patch, or bribe someone into fixing them for you. |
| New contributors can start here for things to work on. |
| |
| |
| Other modules containing plugins are: |
| |
| |
| gst-plugins-base |
| contains a basic set of well-supported plugins |
| gst-plugins-good |
| contains a set of well-supported plugins under our preferred license |
| gst-plugins-ugly |
| contains a set of well-supported plugins, but might pose problems for |
| distributors |
| gst-libav |
| contains a set of codecs plugins based on libav (formerly gst-ffmpeg) |
