RELEASE: gstreamer core & plugins -base/-good/-bad/-ugly/-libav 0.11.94

[Tim-Philipp Müller <t i m zen co uk>]

This mail announces the release of gstreamer core and gst-plugins-base 
0.11.94 and gst-plugins-good/bad/ugly and gst-libav 0.11.94 modules of
our API unstable 0.11.x development series leading to GStreamer 1.0.

These releases are intended for developers wanting to port their plugins
and applications to the new series, and users who want to help test the
bleeding edge of GStreamer development and ported applications.

This release is not API or ABI compatible with previous 0.11.x releases
or with the 0.10.x series.

It can be installed in parallel with the 0.10.x series and will not
affect an existing 0.10.x installation.

There have been a number of smaller API changes since the last release,
mostly in low-level API and plugin API, but there are also some changes
that may affect applications. These should be fairly minor though. See
below for the most noteworthy changes.

We will continue to fine-tune the API as required before the 1.0
release, but expect only minor changes until then.
