Release notes for GStreamer 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.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
The versioning scheme that is used in general is that 1.x.y is API and
|
||
ABI backwards compatible with previous 1.x.y releases. If x is an even
|
||
number it is a stable release series and all releases in this series
|
||
will only contain important bugfixes, e.g. the 1.0 series with 1.0.7. If
|
||
x is odd it is a development release series that will lead to the next
|
||
stable release series 1.x+1 and contains new features and bigger
|
||
changes. During the development release series, new API can still
|
||
change.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
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 plugins
|
||
gst-plugins-good
|
||
contains a set of well-supported plugins under our preferred license
|
||
gst-plugins-ugly
|
||
contains a set of well-supported plugins, but might pose problems for
|
||
distributors
|
||
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)
