Release notes for GStreamer Ugly Plugins 1.5.90
|
||
|
||
|
||
The GStreamer team is pleased to announce the first release candidate for the
|
||
stable 1.6 release series. The 1.6 release series is adding new features on top of
|
||
the 1.0, 1.2 and 1.4 series and is part of the API and ABI-stable 1.x release
|
||
series of the GStreamer multimedia framework. The final 1.6.0 release is planned
|
||
in the next few days unless any major bugs are found.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows will be provided separately by
|
||
the GStreamer project.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
"When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk."
|
||
|
||
|
||
There are times when the world needs a color between black and white.
|
||
Quality code to match the good's, but two-timing, backstabbing and ready to
|
||
sell your freedom down the river. These plugins might have a patent noose
|
||
around their neck, or a lock-up license, or any other problem that makes you
|
||
think twice about shipping them.
|
||
|
||
|
||
We don't call them ugly because we like them less. Does a mother love her
|
||
son less because he's not as pretty as the other ones ? No - she commends
|
||
him on his great personality. These plugins are the life of the party.
|
||
And we'll still step in and set them straight if you report any unacceptable
|
||
behaviour - because there are two kinds of people in the world, my friend:
|
||
those with a rope around their neck and the people who do the cutting.
|
||
|
||
|
||
This module contains a set of plugins that have good quality and correct
|
||
functionality, but distributing them might pose problems. The license
|
||
on either the plugins or the supporting libraries might not be how we'd
|
||
like. The code might be widely known to present patent problems.
|
||
Distributors should check if they want/can ship these plugins.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Other modules containing plugins are:
|
||
|
||
|
||
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-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)
|
||
