+Release notes for GStreamer Base Plugins 1.0.0
 
-Release notes for GStreamer Base Plug-ins 0.11.92 "Comfortably Numb"
-        
+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 Base 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.
-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
 
+  http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/wiki/ReleasePlanning/RoadMap
+
+for a tentative road map and possible schedule.
