GSTREAMER 1.16 RELEASE NOTES
GStreamer 1.16 has not been released yet. It is scheduled for release
around September 2018.
1.15.0.1 is the unstable development version that is being developed in
the git master branch and which will eventually result in 1.16.
The plan for the 1.16 development cycle is yet to be confirmed, but it
is expected that feature freeze will be around August 2017 followed by
several 1.15 pre-releases and the new 1.16 stable release in September.
1.16 will be backwards-compatible to the stable 1.14, 1.12, 1.10, 1.8,
1.6, 1.4, 1.2 and 1.0 release series.
See https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/releases/1.16/ for the latest
version of this document.

Bugs fixed in 1.16
- this section will be filled in in due course
More than XXX bugs have been fixed during the development of 1.16.
This list does not include issues that have been cherry-picked into the
stable 1.16 branch and fixed there as well, all fixes that ended up in
the 1.16 branch are also included in 1.16.
This list also does not include issues that have been fixed without a
bug report in bugzilla, so the actual number of fixes is much higher.
Stable 1.16 branch
After the 1.16.0 release there will be several 1.16.x bug-fix releases
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
a bug-fix release usually. The 1.16.x bug-fix releases will be made from
the git 1.16 branch, which is a stable branch.
1.16.0
1.16.0 is scheduled to be released around September 2018.
Known Issues
- The webrtcdsp element is currently not shipped as part of the
Windows binary packages due to a build system issue.
Schedule for 1.18
Our next major feature release will be 1.16, and 1.15 will be the
unstable development version leading up to the stable 1.16 release. The
development of 1.15/1.16 will happen in the git master branch.
The plan for the 1.16 development cycle is yet to be confirmed, but it
is expected that feature freeze will be around August 2017 followed by
several 1.15 pre-releases and the new 1.16 stable release in September.
1.16 will be backwards-compatible to the stable 1.14, 1.12, 1.10, 1.8,
1.6, 1.4, 1.2 and 1.0 release series.
