-Release notes for GStreamer Ugly Plugins 1.0.0
-The GStreamer project is pleased to announce the very first release of the
-new API and ABI-stable 1.x series of the GStreamer multimedia framework.
+Release notes for GStreamer Ugly Plugins 1.0.1
-The 1.x series is a stable series targeted at end users. It is not API or ABI
-compatible with the 0.10.x series. It can, however, be installed in parallel
-with the 0.10.x series and will not affect an existing 0.10.x installation.
+The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new release
+in the 1.x stable series of the
+core of the GStreamer streaming media framework.
-Major improvements include: more flexible memory handling; extensible and
-negotiable metadata for buffers; caps negotiation and renegotiation mechanisms,
-decoupled from buffer allocation; improved caps renegotiation; automatic
-re-sending of state for dynamic pipelines; reworked and more fine-grained pad
-probing; simpler and more descriptive audio and video caps; more efficient
-allocation of buffers, events and other mini objects; improved timestamp
-handling; support for gobject-inspection-based language bindings; countless
-other improvements.
-Most of these changes involve the GStreamer plugin API. The application API
-has changed comparatively little, and most applications should be fairly easy
-to port to the new API. There is a porting guide available.
+The 1.x series is a stable series targeted at end users.
+It is not API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.10.x series.
+It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.10.x series and
+will not affect an existing 0.10.x installation.
-The GStreamer team would like to thank everyone who helped bring this release
-about, whether by submitting patches, reporting bugs, testing, sponsoring
-development, attending hackfests, or simply supplying moral support.
-This is the end of a long development process, but also the beginning of
-one. This release does not mark the pinnacle of perfection, but the point
-where the team is content with the API and stability and quality of the code
-base in general, especially compared to the old 0.10 series.
-There will be bugs to fix, and starting from this release there will be
-distinct bug-fixing and feature development cycles, with the goal of getting
-bug-fixes out quicker and unencumbered by other more risky changes. See

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.

- gst-plugins-good : a set of well-supported plugins under our preferred license

- rigorous quality testing we expect
