Release notes for GStreamer Base Plugins 1.4.0
|
||
|
||
|
||
The GStreamer team is pleased to announce the first release 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.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
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.
