For all intents and purposes, GStreamer *is* API-stable. You will always have an API-stable GStreamer 0.10 to link against. If 0.12 or 1.0 comes out, even if the API doesn't change, configure.ac files need to be updated to find it. 0.10 will happily coexist with 0.12 and 1.0 > Btw, it'd be really nice to know if there are plans to > release GStreamer 1.0 ;-) There are always plans. Not speaking for anyone else on the GStreamer team - my personal feeling is that we should have apps like Jokosher and Pitivi and Flumotion and a DVD player running happily, do one short iteration of 0.11 where we clean up the worst bits of the API that we don't want to support, and implement some more advanced features like interlacing, and then it's ready to go. But this is just a personal opinion...
