| Release notes for GStreamer Bad Plug-ins 0.10.20 "For it is a Human Number" |
| |
| |
| |
| The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new release |
| in the 0.10.x stable series of the |
| GStreamer Bad Plug-ins. |
| |
| |
| The 0.10.x series is a stable series targeted at end users. |
| It is not API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.8.x series. |
| It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.8.x series. |
| |
| |
| |
| "That an accusation?" |
| |
| |
| No perfectly groomed moustache or any amount of fine clothing is going to |
| cover up the truth - these plug-ins 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 plug-ins 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 plug-ins 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 plug-ins are: |
| |
| |
| gst-plugins-base |
| contains a basic set of well-supported plug-ins |
| gst-plugins-good |
| contains a set of well-supported plug-ins under our preferred license |
| gst-plugins-ugly |
| contains a set of well-supported plug-ins, but might pose problems for |
| distributors |
