Release notes for
GStreamer 0.11.2
"A Shiny White Tooth"
The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new release
in the 0.11.x unstable series of the
core of the GStreamer streaming media framework.
The 0.11.x series is an unstable series targeted at developers and will
eventually lead up to the stable 1.0 series.
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.
The 0.11.x series has improved memory management and features
various cleanups and enhancements.
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

- gst-plugins-bad

rigorous quality testing we expect
