| Release notes for GStreamer 1.5.91 |
| |
| |
| The GStreamer team is pleased to announce the second release candidate for the |
| stable 1.6 release series. The 1.6 release series is adding new features on top of |
| the 1.0, 1.2 and 1.4 series and is part of the API and ABI-stable 1.x release |
| series of the GStreamer multimedia framework. The final 1.6.0 release is planned |
| in the next few days unless any major bugs are found. |
| |
| |
| Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows will be provided separately by |
| the GStreamer project. |
| |
| |
| 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) |
