+Release notes for GStreamer Bad Plugins 1.0.0
 
-Release notes for GStreamer Bad Plug-ins 0.11.92 "Shine On You Crazy Diamond"
-        
+The GStreamer project is pleased to announce the very first release of the
+new API and ABI-stable 1.x series of the GStreamer multimedia framework.
 
+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 GStreamer team is proud to announce a new release
-in the 0.11.x unstable series of the
-GStreamer Bad Plug-ins.
+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 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.
 
-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.
+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. See

+cover up the truth - these plugins are Bad with a capital B.
 They look fine on the outside, and might even appear to get the job done, but
 at the end of the day they're a black sheep. Without a golden-haired angel
 to watch over them, they'll probably land in an unmarked grave at the final
 showdown.

 Don't bug us about their quality - exercise your Free Software rights,
 patch up the offender and send us the patch on the fastest steed you can
 steal from the Confederates. Because you see, in this world, there's two
 kinds of people, my friend: those with loaded guns and those who dig.
 You dig.

+This module contains a set of plugins that aren't up to par compared to the
 rest.  They might be close to being good quality, but they're missing something
 - be it a good code review, some documentation, a set of tests, a real live
 maintainer, or some actual wide use.  If the blanks are filled in they might be
 upgraded to become part of either gst-plugins-good or gst-plugins-ugly,
 depending on the other factors.

 problem and send us a patch, or bribe someone into fixing them for you.
 New contributors can start here for things to work on.
