Known Issues
possibly breaking/incompatible changes to properties of wrapped FFmpeg decoders and encoders (see above).
The way that GIO modules are named has changed due to upstream GLib natively adding support for loading static GIO modules. This means that any GStreamer application using gnutls for SSL/TLS on the Android or iOS platforms (or any other setup using static libraries) will fail to link looking for the g_io_module_gnutls_load_static() function. The new function name is now g_io_gnutls_load(gpointer data). See Android/iOS sections above for further details.
