| Release notes for GStreamer 1.0.1 |
| |
| |
| The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new bug-fix release |
| in the 1.x stable series of the |
| core of the GStreamer streaming media framework. |
| |
| |
| The 1.x series is a stable series targeted at end users. |
| It is not API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.10.x series. |
| It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.10.x series and |
| will not affect an existing 0.10.x installation. |
| |
| |
| The 1.x series has been reworked for more flexible memory handling, improved |
| caps negotiation and re-negotiation, better handling of dynamic pipelines, |
| and increased performance in general. It also features countless other feature |
| additions and enhancements. |
| |
| |
| 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) |
| |
