| Release notes for GStreamer Base Plugins 1.9.2 |
| |
| The GStreamer team is pleased to announce the second release of the unstable |
| 1.9 release series, which marks the feature freeze for 1.10. The 1.9 release |
| series is adding new features on top of the 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6 and 1.8 series |
| and is part of the API and ABI-stable 1.x release series of the GStreamer |
| multimedia framework. The unstable 1.9 release series will lead to the stable |
| 1.10 release series in the next weeks. Any newly added API can still change |
| until that point. |
| |
| |
| Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows will be provided in the next days. |
