+Release notes for GStreamer Ugly Plug-ins 0.10.18 "Extra Life"
+
+
+The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new release
+in the 0.10.x stable series of the
+GStreamer Ugly Plug-ins.
+
+
+The 0.10.x series is a stable series targeted at end users.
+It is not API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.8.x series.
+It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.8.x series.
+
+
+
+"When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk."
+
+
+There are times when the world needs a color between black and white.
+Quality code to match the good's, but two-timing, backstabbing and ready to
+sell your freedom down the river. These plug-ins might have a patent noose
+around their neck, or a lock-up license, or any other problem that makes you
+think twice about shipping them.
+
+
+We don't call them ugly because we like them less. Does a mother love her
+son less because he's not as pretty as the other ones ? No - she commends
+him on his great personality. These plug-ins are the life of the party.
+And we'll still step in and set them straight if you report any unacceptable
+behaviour - because there are two kinds of people in the world, my friend:
+those with a rope around their neck and the people who do the cutting.
+
+
+This module contains a set of plug-ins that have good quality and correct
+functionality, but distributing them might pose problems. The license
+on either the plug-ins or the supporting libraries might not be how we'd
+like. The code might be widely known to present patent problems.
+Distributors should check if they want/can ship these plug-ins.
+
+
+Other modules containing plug-ins are:
+
+
+gst-plugins-base
+contains a basic set of well-supported plug-ins
+gst-plugins-good
+contains a set of well-supported plug-ins under our preferred license
+gst-plugins-bad
+contains a set of less supported plug-ins that haven't passed the
+ rigorous quality testing we expect
+

+
