+IMPORTANT NOTES
+
+1) Please note that decodebin2 and playbin2 API included in this release is
+still considered unstable and WILL change in future releases. At this stage,
+only developers or early adopters should consider using decodebin2 or playbin2
+API embodied in their signals and properties.
+
+2) On some systems, the current release of gst-plugins-good (0.10.6) may fail to
+build against this release of gst-plugins-base with an error like:
+
+gstid3v2mux.cc:547: error: 'GST_TAG_MUSICBRAINZ_SORTNAME' was not declared in this scope
+
+In this case, you should either patch the configure file of gst-plugins-good to
+remove -DGST_DISABLE_DEPRECATED from DEPRECATED_CFLAGS=, or else compile
+with make DEPRECATED_CFLAGS=''
+
+3) Some users may experience problems using the 'mp3parse' element from the
+previous gst-plugins-ugly release (0.10.6). This is due to a bug in mp3parse
+exposed by changes in decodebin in gst-plugins-base. It will be fixed in the
+upcoming release of gst-plugins-ugly next month. In the meantime as a
+workaround, you can set the rank of mp3parse to GST_RANK_NONE in 
+gst-plugins-ugly/gst/mpegaudioparse/gstmpegaudioparse.c when compiling, or
+or remove the /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstmpegaudioparse.so file entirely.
