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. +Release notes for GStreamer libav Plugins 1.0.1 + +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.
