The 1.4 release series is adding new features on top +of the 1.2 series and is part of the API and ABI-stable 1.x release +series of the GStreamer multimedia framework that contains new features. +The 1.4.x bugfix releases only contain important bugfixes compared to 1.4.0. + + +Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows are provided by the +GStreamer project for this release. + + +The 1.x series is a stable series targeted at end users. 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. + + +The stable 1.4.x release series is API and ABI compatible with 1.0.x and +any other 1.x release series in the future. Compared to 1.0.x it contains +some new features and more intrusive changes that were considered too +risky as a bugfix. + + + +"When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk." + + +There are times when the world needs a color between black and white. +Quality code to match the good's, but two-timing, backstabbing and ready to +sell your freedom down the river. These plugins might have a patent noose +around their neck, or a lock-up license, or any other problem that makes you +think twice about shipping them. + + +We don't call them ugly because we like them less. Does a mother love her +son less because he's not as pretty as the other ones ? No - she commends +him on his great personality. These plugins are the life of the party. +And we'll still step in and set them straight if you report any unacceptable +behaviour - because there are two kinds of people in the world, my friend: +those with a rope around their neck and the people who do the cutting. + + +This module contains a set of plugins that have good quality and correct +functionality, but distributing them might pose problems. The license +on either the plugins or the supporting libraries might not be how we'd +like. The code might be widely known to present patent problems. +Distributors should check if they want/can ship these plugins. + + +Other modules containing plugins are: + + +gst-plugins-base +contains a basic set of well-supported plugins +gst-plugins-good +contains a set of well-supported plugins under our preferred license +gst-plugins-bad +contains a set of less supported plugins that haven't passed the + rigorous quality testing we expect, or are still missing documentation + and/or unit tests +gst-libav +contains a set of codecs plugins based on libav (formerly gst-ffmpeg) + + + + + +There were no bugs fixed in this release + + +==== Download ==== + +You can find source releases of gst-plugins-ugly in the download +directory: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/src/gst-plugins-ugly/ + +The git repository and details how to clone it can be found at +http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-ugly/ + +==== Homepage ==== + +The project's website is http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/ + +==== Support and Bugs ==== + +We use GNOME's bugzilla for bug reports and feature requests: +http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GStreamer + +Please submit patches via bugzilla as well. + +For help and support, please subscribe to and send questions to the +gstreamer-devel mailing list (see below for details). + +There is also a #gstreamer IRC channel on the Freenode IRC network. + +==== Developers ==== + +GStreamer is stored in Git, hosted at git.freedesktop.org, and can be cloned +from there (see link above). + +Interested developers of the core library, plugins, and applications should +subscribe to the gstreamer-devel list. + + +Contributors to this release + + * Edward Hervey +
