+The GStreamer team is pleased to announce the third release of the unstable
 1.3 release series. The 1.3 release series is adding new features on top of
 the 1.0 and 1.2 series and is part of the API and ABI-stable 1.x release
 series of the GStreamer multimedia framework. The unstable 1.3 release series
 will lead to the stable 1.4 release series in the next weeks, and newly added
 API can still change until that point.
 
 
+This is hopefully the last 1.3 development release and will be followed by

+is followed by 1.4.0 soonish in early July.

 Binaries for Android, iOS, Mac OS X and Windows will be provided separately
 during the unstable 1.3 release series.
