Release notes for GStreamer Base Plugins 1.3.91
|
||
|
||
|
||
The GStreamer team is pleased to announce the second release candidate of
|
||
the stable 1.4 release series. The 1.4 release series is adding new features
|
||
on top of the 1.0 and 1.2 series and is part of the API and ABI-stable 1.x
|
||
release series of the GStreamer multimedia framework.
|
||
|
||
|
||
This release candidate will hopefully shortly be followed by the stable 1.4.0
|
||
release if no bigger regressions or bigger issues are detected, and enough
|
||
testing of the release candidate happened. The new API that was added during
|
||
the 1.3 release series is not expected to change anymore at this point.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows are provided together with this
|
||
release.
|
||
|
||
|
||
The stable 1.4 release series is API and ABI compatible with 1.0.x, 1.2.x and
|
||
any other 1.x release series in the future. Compared to 1.2.x it contains some
|
||
new features and more intrusive changes that were considered too risky as a
|
||
bugfix.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
This module contains a set of reference plugins, base classes for other
|
||
plugins, and helper libraries. It also includes essential elements such
|
||
as audio and video format converters, and higher-level components like playbin,
|
||
decodebin, encodebin, and discoverer.
|
||
|
||
This module is kept up-to-date together with the core developments. Element
|
||
writers should look at the elements in this module as a reference for
|
||
their development.
