| Release notes for GStreamer 1.4.0 |
| |
| |
| The GStreamer team is pleased to announce the first release 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. |
| |
| |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| |
| |
| The versioning scheme that is used in general is that 1.x.y is API and |
| ABI backwards compatible with previous 1.x.y releases. If x is an even |
| number it is a stable release series and all releases in this series |
| will only contain important bugfixes, e.g. the 1.0 series with 1.0.7. If |
| x is odd it is a development release series that will lead to the next |
| stable release series 1.x+1 and contains new features and bigger |
| changes. During the development release series, new API can still |
| change. |
| |
| |
| |

| For actual media playback, you will need other modules. |

| and/or unit tests |
