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. +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 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 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. This release does not mark the pinnacle of perfection, but the point +where the team is content with the API and stability and quality of the code +base in general, especially compared to the old 0.10 series. +There will be bugs to fix, and starting from this release there will be +distinct bug-fixing and feature development cycles, with the goal of getting +bug-fixes out quicker and unencumbered by other more risky changes.
