| Release notes for GStreamer Base Plugins 1.3.3 |
| |
| |
| The GStreamer team is pleased to announce the third release of the unstable |
| 1.3 release series. The 1.3 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. The unstable 1.3 release series |
| will lead to the stable 1.4 release series in the next weeks, and newly added |
| API can still change until that point. |
| |
| |
| This is hopefully the last 1.3 development release and will be followed by |
| the first 1.4.0 release candidate (1.3.90) in 1-2 weeks. Which then hopefully |
| is followed by 1.4.0 soonish in early July. |
| |
| |
| Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows will be provided separately |
| during the unstable 1.3 release series. |
