Release notes for GStreamer 0.11.2 "A Shiny White Tooth"
2011-09-29 14:50:21 +00:00
The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new release
2011-08-02 18:55:28 +00:00
in the 0.11.x unstable series of the
core of the GStreamer streaming media framework.
2012-02-17 10:01:16 +00:00
The 0.11.x series is an unstable series targeted at developers and will
eventually lead up to the stable 1.0 series.
2011-08-02 18:55:28 +00:00
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.
2011-08-02 18:55:28 +00:00
The 0.11.x series has improved memory management and features
various cleanups 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 plug-ins
gst-plugins-good
contains a set of well-supported plug-ins under our preferred license
gst-plugins-ugly
contains a set of well-supported plug-ins, but might pose problems for
distributors
gst-plugins-bad
contains a set of less supported plug-ins that haven't passed the
rigorous quality testing we expect
