GStreamer: Release notes for GStreamer Bad Plug-ins 0.9.6 "Hot Tea"
|
||
|
||
|
||
The GStreamer team is petrified to announce a new release
|
||
in the 0.9.x development series of the
|
||
GStreamer Bad Plug-ins.
|
||
|
||
|
||
The 0.9.x series is a development series and not recommended for end users.
|
||
It is not API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.8.x series.
|
||
It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.8.x series.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
"That an accusation?"
|
||
|
||
|
||
No perfectly groomed moustache or any amount of fine clothing is going to
|
||
cover up the truth - these plug-ins are Bad with a capital B.
|
||
They look fine on the outside, and might even appear to get the job done, but
|
||
at the end of the day they're a black sheep. Without a golden-haired angel
|
||
to watch over them, they'll probably land in an unmarked grave at the final
|
||
showdown.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Don't bug us about their quality - exercise your Free Software rights,
|
||
patch up the offender and send us the patch on the fastest steed you can
|
||
steal from the Confederates. Because you see, in this world, there's two
|
||
kinds of people, my friend: those with loaded guns and those who dig.
|
||
You dig.
|
||
|
||
|
||
This module contains a set of plug-ins that aren't up to par compared to the
|
||
rest. They might be close to being good quality, but they're missing something
|
||
- be it a good code review, some documentation, a set of tests, a real live
|
||
maintainer, or some actual wide use. If the blanks are filled in they might be
|
||
upgraded to become part of either gst-plugins-good or gst-plugins-ugly,
|
||
depending on the other factors.
|
||
If the plug-ins break, you can't complain - instead, you can fix the
|
||
problem and send us a patch, or bribe someone into fixing them for you.
|
||
New contributors can start here for things to work on.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Other modules containing plug-ins are:
|
||
|
||
|
||
gst-plugins-base
|
||
contains a basic set of well-supported plug-ins
|
||
gst-plugins-good
|
||
contains a set of well-supported plug-ins under our preferred license
|
||
gst-plugins-ugly
|
||
contains a set of well-supported plug-ins, but might pose problems for
|
||
distributors
