+  standard on embedded Linux for quite some time now.

+The GStreamer Rust bindings are released separately with a different release
+cadence that's tied to `gtk-rs`, but the latest release has already been
+updated for the new GStreamer 1.24 API.
+
+`gst-plugins-rs`, the module containing GStreamer plugins written in Rust, has also seen lots of activity with many new elements and plugins
+
+- Rust plugins can be used from any programming language. To the outside they look just like a plugin written in C or C++.

+## Stable 1.24 branch
+
+After the 1.24.0 release there will be several 1.24.x bug-fix releases which
+will contain bug fixes which have been deemed suitable for a stable branch,
+but no new features or intrusive changes will be added to a bug-fix release
+usually. The 1.24.x bug-fix releases will be made from the git 1.24 branch,
+which will be a stable branch.
+
+<a id="1.24.0"></a>
+
+### 1.24.0
+
+1.24.0 has not yet been released.
+
+## Schedule for 1.26
+
+Our next major feature release will be 1.26, and 1.25 will be the unstable
+development version leading up to the stable 1.26 release. The development
+of 1.25/1.25 will happen in the git `main` branch of the GStreamer mono
+repository.
+
+The schedule for 1.26 is yet to be confirmed. We're still busy getting 1.24 out!
+
+1.26 will be backwards-compatible to the stable 1.24, 1.22, 1.20, 1.18, 1.16, 1.14, 1.12, 1.10, 1.8, 1.6, 1.4, 1.2 and 1.0 release series.
