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.

across all components and modules. Some of them have already been

should move to gst-build.

|

|
|
|
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.

Cerbero is a meta build system used to build GStreamer plus dependencies

on platforms where dependencies are not readily available, such as
|
|
|
|
|
Windows, Android, iOS and macOS.

|
|

Cerbero has seen a number of improvements:

Stable 1.18 branch

After the 1.18.0 release there will be several 1.18.x bug-fix releases
|
2018-03-03 22:59:30 +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 18:27:11 +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.

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.
