Original commit message from CVS:
Added a simple function gst_pad_recover_caps_error that a plugin
should call from now on (instead of gst_element_error). This function
will emit a caps_nego_failed signal that the app can catch to resolve
the negotiation failure.
Original commit message from CVS:
It's absolute fun if you don't find this. If an element claims a successful state change but did not actually change its state it is broken and the program deserves to crash. And hard. Can you hear I'm annoyed?
Original commit message from CVS:
Ouch: gst_element_dispose does a state change to NULL. Change the state to NULL yourself if you dispose plugins that reference some of the freed memory on state changes.
This is probably broken in lots of cases.
Original commit message from CVS:
API change: rename (currently unused function) gst_(data|buffer)_needs_copy_on_write to gst_(data|buffer)_is_readonly - we don't want to confuse even core developers
Original commit message from CVS:
destroyed gst_*_destroy in the examples - use gst_object_unref instead - includes some tries to bufixes, most of the tests still fail
Original commit message from CVS:
some thoughts about clocking - this looks suspiciously easy. Either i'm missing something (it's late) or it's a quite good approach.
Original commit message from CVS:
- Added infrastructure to run a filter against plugins, registries and
registrypools. This makes it possible to create custom code to filter
out the plugins/features you're interested in.
Original commit message from CVS:
enable debugging output for bison parser, fix // comments, better error recovery, error out on non-instantiable elements (fixes#110758)
Original commit message from CVS:
Revert last Makefile.am change, and fix it correctly. I _think_
this won't break with earlier flex versions, otherwise let me know.
Original commit message from CVS:
moving GStreamer from Bash to sh. Patch from Matthias Friedrich <matt@mafr.de>
Using bash is problematic on non-linux plattforms, Matthias use NetBSD.
Matthias message:
I appended the promised fix to autogen.sh and friends. That way, only
plain /bin/sh is needed as it is present on all Unices.
The problems were non-portable pushd/popd functions and the usage of a
'==' comparison which is non-standard in test(1). The standard is '=',
although C programmers never believe it.
Original commit message from CVS:
- added macros GST_CLOCK_TIME_IS_VALID and GST_BUFFE_TIMESTAMP_IS_VALID
- use macros in some places
- buffer's timestamp field is a GstClockTime, not a guint64 - this is currently the same, but be sure to only use GstClockTime when working with timestamps in the future
Original commit message from CVS:
general fixes:
- changed newly added locked_state API to work like GStreamer does
- added gst_element_sync_state_with_parent function
- revert: pad linking does not require non-playing state
- updated spider and pipeline parsing to link elements in playing state
- bugfix: pads are now activated when added to a playing element (broke above change)
Original commit message from CVS:
rewritten pipeline parsing lands. Have fun breaking it.
regressions:
- No support for filtered links. If anybody needs this, please contact me and I'll add it as fast as possible.
improvements:
- The pipeline building actually works as expected.
- syntax compatible nearly everywhere but more flexible
- better property parsing (you can now set enums by name or nick)
- uses locked_state to allow for delayed pads
- can connect video pipelines without the need for queues
- allows properties on bins
- does not return a bin, but an element.
