Re: about api changes: msg#00030

Subject: Re: about api changes
Hey,

Branches exist for that. I think that a 1.1 branch can be created, which 
is the development branch of the next release (1.2), or something like 
that. That branch can then contain the python parser, with api break.

gstreamer manage releases like that.

what do you think ?
