Original commit message from CVS:
Fix a few irregularities, to make things closer to the Gnome standard
guidelines for SGML documentation.  One change in particular is to change
the book name for the manual from gstreamer to index; a change to the link
to the manual on the website will thus be needed when the online version
of the manual is next updated.

These changes should make it possible to view the GStreamer documentation
directly from SGML in Nautilus: anyone with a working copy of Nautilus
should try this out and report ... ;-)

Wim Taymans 51cbf22624 This is a megapatch with the following changes:
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.

Massive build fixup.  Will send message to -devel list later with details
on the changes and what they mean for Makefile.am writers.  Check
docs/random/omega/build/TODO for a list of things that I had to make sure
of.

NOTE: this requires a complete rebuild of all plugins, since I also
changed the STATE enum to a bitfield instead of sequential numbers.

Original commit message from CVS:
Antoher way of dealing with EOS. This proposal does not use the recursion
to propagate the EOS signal. This implies that an element cannot deny an
EOS signal anymore but since the signal is generated when a NULL buffer is
pushed, somebody did something wrong anyway.

Original commit message from CVS:
Massive, massive update of most source files.  I went through and cleaned
up all the warnings that I could, which involved fixing some of the plugins.

The configure.in script was re-arranged and cleaned up so, and a check for
libtool 1.3.5 was added to autogen.sh.  Added checks for Gtk and GNOME.

Some plugins were removed from the list of things to build for various reasons.

Added GST_DEBUG_FORCE_DISABLE in gstgetbits, since that's time critical and
even an if() from a DEBUG can significantly increase runtimes.

Misc tweaks to makefile for manual.  Moved .figs into same directory so
we can have them built appropriately without having to hack makefiles
horribly.  Nearly have a core makefile which can be reused for other
manuals.

Code reviews:
=============

Files are to be named by file or subsystem, and CVS revision number or date:

gstbin.c-1.41
editor-20001216

A file should look something like the following:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Code Review
===========
File: gst/gstbin.c
Revision: 1.41
Date: Dec 16, 2000
Reviewer: Erik Walthinsen <omega@cse.ogi.edu>


-----
Line 20:
#define GST_DEBUG_ENABLED

Shouldn't be here, DEBUG should be enabled globally.  May leave until
scheduling changes are done.


-----
Line 117: (gst_bin_class_init)
gstelement_class->elementfactory =    gst_elementfactory_find("bin");

Not sure this is such a great idea.  I thought the GstElement code did this
kind of stuff?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The format will evolve as we do more stuff, such as putting in fields for
recommended actions, comments regarding any later changes made and when, etc.

Erik Walthinsen da03fde054 WARNING: Don't grab this updated unless you're really, REALLY sure.
Original commit message from CVS:
WARNING: Don't grab this updated unless you're really, REALLY sure.
WARNING: Wait for the next one.

Whole lotta changes here, including a few random bits:

examples/*/Makefile: updated to use `libtool gcc`, not just `gcc`
gst/
gstbuffer.h: updated to new flag style
gst.c, gstdebug.h: added new debugging for function ptrs
gstpipeline.c: set type of parent_class to the class, not the object
gstthread.c: ditto
plugins/
cdparanoia/cdparanoia.c: added an argument type, updated some defaults
cobin/spindentity.c: updated to new do/while loopfunction style
mp3encode/lame/gstlame.c: argument types, whole lotta lame options
tests/: various changes

Now, for the big changes:  Once again, the scheduling system has changed.
And once again, it broke a whole bunch of things.  The gist of the change
is that there is now a function pointer for gst_pad_push and gst_pad_pull,
instead of a hard-wired function.  Well, currently they are functions, but
that's for debugging purposes only, they just call the function pointer
after spewing lots of DEBUG().

This changed the GstPad structure a bit, and the GstPad API as well.
Where elements used to provide chain() and pull() functions, they provide
chain() and get() functions. gst_pad_set_pull[region]_function has been
changed to get_pad_set_get[region]_function.  This means all the elements
out there that used to have pull functions need to be updated.  The calls
to that function have been changed in the normal elements, but the names
of the functions passed is still _pull[region](), which is an aesthetic
issue more than anything.

As for what doesn't work yet, just about anything dealing with Connections
is hosed, meaning threaded stuff won't work.  This will be fixed about 12
hours from now, after I've slept, etc.  The simplefake.c test works in
both cothreaded and chained cases, but not much else will work due to the
Connection problem.  Needless to say, don't grab this unless you *need*
these features *now*, else wait to update this stuff until tomorrow.

I'm going to sleep now.
