Release notes for GStreamer FFmpeg 0.8.6 "Vamoz a la Playa"

The GStreamer team is happy to announce a new stable release of the
FFmpeg-based GStreamer plugin.

This module is separated from GStreamer Plugins for easier maintenance
and decoupled release cycles. Our CVS contains both the patched source
code to FFmpeg, as well as the set of patches against upstream CVS, so
we can send patches upstream regularly from our modifications.

      * codecs for most popular formats
      * snapshot update to 20/7
      * new post-processing plugin
      * added flv/vob muxers
      * decoder performance improvements
