 The GStreamer library is the basis of Pidgin's voice/video support.
 
-There are two major GStreamer versions: 0.10 and 1.0. Pidgin currently supports both, but you should use GStreamer 1.0. If possible, use `dpkg --get-selections` to find and uninstall all GStreamer 0.10 packages. If some software you use depends on them, just check the `./configure` output or `config.log` to make sure that GStreamer 1.0 is being used. The minor version available in Ubuntu 15.04's packages is currently new enough to compile Pidgin 3.0, so just install from there.
+Pidgin 3 requires GStreamer 1.0. Back when we supported both 0.1 and 1.0, the 0.1 files would sometimes cause conflicts. I don't know whether this is the case now that we've dropped 0.1 support. The minor version available in Ubuntu 15.04's packages is currently new enough to compile Pidgin 3.0.
