| Release notes for GStreamer Good Plugins 1.3.91 |
| |
| |
| The GStreamer team is pleased to announce the second 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. |

| |
| "Such ingratitude. After all the times I've saved your life." |
| |
| |
| A collection of plugins you'd want to have right next to you on the |
| battlefield. Shooting sharp and making no mistakes, these plugins have it |
| all: good looks, good code, and good licensing. Documented and dressed up |
| in tests. If you're looking for a role model to base your own plugin on, |
| here it is. |
| |
| |
| If you find a plot hole or a badly lip-synced line of code in them, |
| let us know - it is a matter of honour for us to ensure Blondie doesn't look |
| like he's been walking 100 miles through the desert without water. |
| |
| |
| This module contains a set of plugins that we consider to have good quality |
| code, correct functionality, our preferred license (LGPL for the plugin |
| code, LGPL or LGPL-compatible for the supporting library). |
| We believe distributors can safely ship these plugins. |
| People writing elements should base their code on these elements. |
| |
| |
| Other modules containing plugins are: |
| |
| |
| gst-plugins-base |
| contains a basic set of well-supported plugins |
| gst-plugins-ugly |
| contains a set of well-supported plugins, but might pose problems for |
| distributors |
| gst-plugins-bad |
| contains a set of less supported plugins that haven't passed the |
| rigorous quality testing we expect, or are still missing documentation |
| and/or unit tests |
| gst-libav |
| contains a set of codecs plugins based on libav (formerly gst-ffmpeg) |
