-            GStreamer "GEPpiness is a warm gun" 0.4.1 released [1]
-
-   The  GStreamer  team  is  happy  to  announce  another  release of the
-   GStreamer  streaming-media  framework. This release has mainly focused
-   on  code  clean-up  and  rounding out of the features. Large chunks of
-   GStreamer  are  API  stable  at this point. In preparation of a stable
-   release,  we have also done a thorough license audit to make sure that
-   the licenses of all plug-ins are properly documented, and that as many
-   of  them  as  possible  are  available  under  the  LGPL  license that
-   GStreamer uses.
-
-   We are starting to have a really nice collection of applications under
-   development using GStreamer. If you are looking for something specific
-   check out our [1]applications status page.
-
-Updates and Enhancements
-
-  General
-
-     * Further  work on the Graphical Pipeline Editor, getting to be very
-       stable and well working.
-     * KDE/Qt bindings created for easier creation of KDE applications on
-       top of GStreamer
-     * General  C++  bindings  for  use with gtkmm and other C++ projects
-       added to gst-bind module (in CVS)
-     * Effectv  and  virtualdub  based  plug-ins  relicensed  under  LGPL
-       (previously GPL)
-     * Some   manual   examples   updated   and  extracted  to  code  (in
-       examples/manual)
-
-  Core
-
-     * Many memleaks plugged
-     * Lots of code cleaning
-     * Many documentation improvements
-     * Small change to [2]Plugin API
-     * Removed  use of -Wall and -Werror from release tarball for non-gcc
-       compilers, more permanent solution upcoming.
-     * Old  schedulers  renamed:  we  now  use  basicomega as the default
-       scheduler,   with  the  others  being  fastomega,  basicwingo  and
-       fastwingo.

-Known Issues
-
-   GStreamer  currently  ships  with  schedulers  based  on  two cothread
-   packages.  The  'omega'  cothread  package  is  the  one  we have been
-   shipping for a long time now and is still the default in this release.
-   There  are  however  some  limitations  and thread-related bugs in the
-   omega  scheduler.  These  limitations  are  not present in the 'wingo'
-   schedulers, but unfortunately it does not work with i686 glibc at this
-   time  due  to  differences  in the way threads are handled compared to
-   other  architectures,  including  i386.  A new (third) scheduler (that
-   doesn't use cothreads) is being developed.
-
-   As  for  the  bugs  in  the  'omega'  schedulers, we did not feel they
-   warranted not releasing 0.4.1 as they are rather obscure. For instance
-   if  you are using Rhythmbox you will need to be playing over 500 songs
-   nonstop to trigger it. You can choose a different scheduler by passing
-   --scheduler=(name) to any GStreamer application.
-
-   Wim  Taymans  has  started  work on a new scheduler. The first part is
-   already in CVS, but it will probably still be some months before it is
-   ready.

-   More  details on these features can be found on the project's website,
-   [3]http://gstreamer.net/.
-
-Support and Bugs
-
-   We  use  [4]Gnome's Bugzilla for bug reports and feature requests. The
-   "product  name"  is  GStreamer  (capital  G).  Please do the following
-   before writing a bug report :
-gst-feedback &> feedback 2>&1
-
-   and  attach  the  file  "feedback" to your bug report, so that we have
-   some information useful in the debugging process.
-
-Developers
-
-   GStreamer  is  [5]hosted on SourceForge. All code is in CVS and can be
-   checked  out  from  there.  Interested developers of the core library,
-   plug-ins,  and  applications  should  subscribe to the gstreamer-devel
-   list.  If  there  is  sufficient interest we will create more lists as
-   necessary.
-
-   We  are  still  looking for people with access to Solaris, HP-UX, Irix
-   and  True64  that  would  be  willing  to  try  building  and  testing
-   GStreamer. Patches fixing such problems are also more than welcome.

-
-   [1]  It  is  a  little-known fact that the Beatles decided their track
-   listing  for their albums based on a process called the 'GEP' process.
-   After  some  initial  problems,  this worked very well. The only known
-   failure  of  this  process  happened when George Harrison commited the
-   out-of-place  'Within  You  Without  You'  to  Sergeant Pepper without
-   review  by  the  other  band members. This near split-up led to one of
-   their finest songs on the world-reknowned White Album.
