| Release notes for GStreamer 1.3.1 |
| |
| |
| The GStreamer team is pleased to announce the first 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. |
| |
| |
| |
| Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows will be provided separately |
| during the unstable 1.3 release series. |
| |
| |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| |
| |
| This module, gstreamer, only contains core functionality. |
| For actual media playback, you will need other modules. |
| |
| gst-plugins-base |
| contains a basic set of well-supported plugins |
| gst-plugins-good |
| contains a set of well-supported plugins under our preferred license |
| 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) |
