- doesn't do dynamic pipelines yet...
* added GErrors to the gst_parse_launch[v] api
* added --gst-mask-help command line option
* fixed -o option for gst-launch
* GstElement api change:
- gst_element_get_pad
- gst_element_get_request_pad, gst_element_get_static_pad
- gst_element_get_compatible_pad
- gst_element_get_compatible_static_pad, gst_element_get_compatible_request_pad
- gst_element_[dis]connect -> gst_element_[dis]connect_pads

* manual update
* example, tool, and doc updates for the api changes
- no more plugin docs in the core docs, plugins require a more
extensive doc system

Original commit message from CVS:
Changed a stupid assert in request_pad.
Some fixes for pullregion and EOS conditions.
Remove an unneeded check in the scheduler (check for NULL buffer)
some EOS fixes for pullregion in disksrc.
Removed the macro in the gstparse.h header 'cause it's internal to gstparse.c
Added a check in gstparse for NULL element.
Original commit message from CVS:
This is a megapatch with the following changes:
- moved the gchar *name to GstObject, removed the ones in GstElement and
GstPad.
- moved the parent handling completely into GstObject. This cause *all* of
the plugins to fail (except those that used gst_pad_get_parent)
- rearanged the XML save handling.
- GstObject now has a class function save/restore_thyself.
- GstObject has a generic method gst_object_save_thyself, this makes it
possible to fire a signal wehever a new object is loaded. This is needed
so we can add XML save hooks.
- GstXML API has changed slightly. You now have to create a GstXML object
first before you can actually load something. This makes it possible to
attach a signal to GstXML whenever an object is loaded. I'm not sure we
will keep this interface.
- GstObject can now print the path_string without knowing about the GstPad and
GstElement types.
- Added gst_bin_get_by_name_recurse_up to lookup an element in the current
element hierarchy.
- added XML namespaces to the saved pipelines the namespace is:
http://gstreamer.net/gst-core/1.0/
namespaces are needed to distinguish user generated XML from the core XML.
Note that the plugins still contain a macro GST_OBJECT_PARENT that will be
replaced with gst_pad_get_parent shortly.
