| Release notes for GStreamer Base Plugins 1.7.2 |
| |
| The GStreamer team is pleased to announce the second release of the unstable |
| 1.7 release series. The 1.7 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. The unstable 1.7 release series |
| will lead to the stable 1.8 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 separately |
| during the unstable 1.7 release series. |
| |
