Release notes for GStreamer 0.10.2 "If man is five"

The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new release in the 0.10.x
stable series of the core of the GStreamer streaming media framework.

The 0.10.x series is a stable series targeted at 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.

The 0.10.x series has been reworked for threadsafety. It also features
various feature additions and enchancements.

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 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
gst-plugins-bad
        contains a set of less supported plug-ins that haven't passed
        the rigorous quality testing we expect
