-GStreamer: Release notes for GStreamer Plugins 0.8.7 "Hyperspace"
+GStreamer: Release notes for GStreamer Bad Plug-ins 0.9.1 "Angel Eyes"
         
 
-The GStreamer team is happy to announce a new release
-in the 0.8.x stable series of the GStreamer Plugins.
+The GStreamer team is petrified to announce a new release
+in the 0.9.x development series of the
+GStreamer Bad Plug-ins.
 
 
-The 0.8.x series is a stable series aimed at end users.
-It is not API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.6.x series.
-It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.6.x series.
+The 0.9.x series is a development series and not recommended for 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.
 
 
-This module contains plugins providing media encoding and decoding,
-conversion, effects, and other elements that provide actual media
-handling functionality to the core.  You need the GStreamer core module
-to make them work.  The versions do not need to match exactly, as long
-as all of them are in the 0.8.x series.
+
+"That an accusation?"
+
+
+No perfectly groomed moustache or any amount of fine clothing is going to
+cover up the truth - these plug-ins 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 plug-ins 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.
+If the plug-ins break, you can't complain - instead, you can fix the
+problem and send us a patch, or bribe someone into fixing them for you.
+New contributors can start here for things to work on.
+
+
+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-ugly
+contains a set of well-supported plug-ins, but might pose problems for
+    distributors
 
 
-The FFmpeg-based decoder element has been moved to its own module.  If you
-want support for a lot of popular video formats, you need to install this
-module along with the GStreamer Core and Plugins.  An FFmpeg-based colorspace
-element has been added to the Plugins however.
