+	* gst/gstplugin.c:
+	  gstplugin: Fix for UWP build
+	  SetThreadErrorMode() API is available on UWP but flag values
+	  are desktop API only. Since error dialogs don't exist on UWP,
+	  we don't need to suppress it

+
+	* gst/gstplugin.c:
+	  gstplugin: Better warnings on plugin load failure on Windows
+	  It is an extremely common mistake on Windows to have incorrect PATH
+	  values when loading a plugin, and the error from g_module_error()
+	  (which just calls FormatMessageW()) is very confusing in this case:
+	  The specified module could not be found.
+	  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/debug/system-error-codes--0-499-#ERROR_MOD_NOT_FOUND
+	  It implies the plugin itself could not be found. The actual issue is
+	  that a DLL dependency could not be found. We need to detect this case
+	  and print a more useful error message.
+	  We should still print the error fetched from FormatMessage() so that
+	  people are able to google for it.

+
+	* plugins/elements/gstconcat.c:
+	  concat: fix qos event handling
+	  We were shadowing the sinkpad variable resulting in:
+	  - the QoS event to be send to all sink pads instead of the active one
+	  - the pad to be leaked

+
+	* libs/gst/base/gstbaseparse.c:
+	  baseparse: fix invalid avg_bitrate after reset
+	  gst_base_parse_reset() does not reset data_bytecount to 0, so
+	  gst_base_parse_update_bitrates() uses a wrong value to calculate
+	  the average bitrate on subsequent pipeline starts. This leads to an
+	  excessive amount of "tag" events being pushed. These events include
+	  very high "bitrate" values that diminish over time, and are produced
+	  until the average bitrate is back to sane values.
+	  Fixes #840

+
+	* plugins/elements/gstmultiqueue.c:
+	  multiqueue: Fix query unref race on flush
+	  If the query has already been destroyed at this point, GST_IS_QUERY will
+	  read garbage, can return false and we will try to unref it again.
+	  Instead, make note of whether the item is a query when we dequeue it.

+
+	* gst/gstevent.c:
+	* gst/gstmessage.c:
+	  gst: Initialize optional event/message fields when parsing
+	  These might not exist inside the structure and then we would potentially
+	  keep around uninitialized memory from the caller in the out parameter.

+
+	* libs/gst/base/gstbitwriter.c:
+	  bitwriter: Fix a memory leak in reset_and_get_buffer.
+	  We should record the ownership of the data before we reset the bitwriter.
+	  Or we will always dup the buffer data and leak the memory.
+	  Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/1272>

+
+	* libs/gst/base/gstbitwriter.c:
+	  bitwriter: Fix the trailing bits lost when getting its data.
+	  In reset_and_get_data and reset_and_get_buffer, it fails to include
+	  the trailing bits less than 8. So, when the bit_size is not byte
+	  aligned, the trailing bits are lost in the return buffer.

+
+	* plugins/elements/gstmultiqueue.c:
+	  multiqueue: fix obsolete comment re initial flow status
+	  The initial single queue srcresult is OK, it hasn't been
+	  NOT_LINKED since 2007.
+	  Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/1271>
+
+2021-09-09 20:25:25 +0200  Mathieu Duponchelle <mathieu@centricular.com>
+
+	* plugins/elements/gstmultiqueue.c:
+	  multiqueue: never consider a queue that is not waiting
+	  .. when computing the high id.
+	  After a flush for instance, sq->srcresult is reset to OK,
+	  yet it doesn't make sense to pick a non-existing position
+	  id as the high id when a queue doesn't contain any items
+	  in that situation either.
+	  It is in any case completely OK to let the not-linked stream
+	  get consumed without throttling at this stage, as any
+	  first packet arriving on other single queues will get assigned
+	  a higher position id.

+
+2021-07-23 16:20:20 +0200  Jan Alexander Steffens (heftig) <jan.steffens@ltnglobal.com>
+
+	* plugins/elements/gstinputselector.c:
+	  input-selector: Use proper segments when cleaning cached buffers
+	  We need to use the segment associated with the cached buffer, not the
+	  current segment of the pad, otherwise we miscalculate the running time
+	  of cached buffers from before a segment change.
+	  Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/1270>
