GStreamer 1.18.0 has not yet been released. It is scheduled for release
in summer 2020 now.
1.17.x is the unstable development series that is currently being
developed in the git master branch and which will eventually result in
1.18, and 1.17.1 is the current development release in that series.
The schedule for the 1.18 development cycle is yet to be confirmed, but
it is expected that feature freeze will be in June/July 2020, followed
by several 1.17 pre-releases and then a new 1.18 stable release in
July/August 2020.
1.18 will be backwards-compatible to the stable 1.16, 1.14, 1.12, 1.10,
1.8, 1.6, 1.4, 1.2 and 1.0 release series.
See https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/releases/1.18/ for the latest
2017-05-04 12:39:05 +00:00
version of this document.

Build and Dependencies
2019-01-17 02:16:53 +00:00
2020-06-19 18:22:18 +00:00
- The Autotools build system has finally been removed in favour of the
Meson build system. Developers who currently use gst-uninstalled
should move to gst-build.
2019-01-17 02:16:53 +00:00
2020-06-19 18:22:18 +00:00
- API and plugin documentation are no longer built with gtk_doc. The
gtk_doc documentation has been removed in favour of a new unified
documentation module built with hotdoc. The intention is to
distribute the generated documentation in form of tarballs alongside
releases.

Stable 1.18 branch
2017-05-04 12:39:05 +00:00
2020-06-19 18:22:18 +00:00
After the 1.18.0 release there will be several 1.18.x bug-fix releases
2018-03-03 22:39:27 +00:00
which will contain bug fixes which have been deemed suitable for a
stable branch, but no new features or intrusive changes will be added to
2020-06-19 18:22:18 +00:00
a bug-fix release usually. The 1.18.x bug-fix releases will be made from
the git 1.18 branch, which will be a stable branch.

Schedule for 1.20
2017-05-04 12:39:05 +00:00
2020-06-19 18:22:18 +00:00
Our next major feature release will be 1.20, and 1.19 will be the
unstable development version leading up to the stable 1.20 release. The
development of 1.19/1.20 will happen in the git master branch.
2017-05-04 12:39:05 +00:00
2020-06-19 18:22:18 +00:00
The plan for the 1.20 development cycle is yet to be confirmed.
2017-05-04 12:39:05 +00:00
2020-06-19 18:22:18 +00:00
1.20 will be backwards-compatible to the stable 1.18, 1.16, 1.14, 1.12,
1.10, 1.8, 1.6, 1.4, 1.2 and 1.0 release series.
