Release notes for
GStreamer Base Plug-ins 0.10.14
"Light Years Ahead"
The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new release
in the 0.10.x stable series of the
GStreamer Base Plug-ins.
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.
This module contains a set of reference plugins, base classes for other
plugins, and helper libraries.
This module is kept up-to-date together with the core developments. Element
writers should look at the elements in this module as a reference for
their development.
This module contains elements for, among others:
- device plugins: x(v)imagesink, alsa, v4lsrc, cdparanoia
- containers: ogg
- codecs: vorbis, theora
- text: textoverlay, subparse

- network: tcp
- typefind
- audio processing: audioconvert, adder, audiorate, audioscale, volume
- visualisation: libvisual

- aggregate elements: decodebin, playbin
Other modules containing plug-ins are:
- 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

rigorous quality testing we expect
