This is more in line with e.g. GstBaseTransform's API, and makes for nicer
to read code. No getters for now since I don't see any use case for them,
the API is for subclasses, which usually know what format they're
dealing with already and hence know what they've set.

Add first implementation of arbitrary buffer metadata. We use a simple linked
linked of slice allocated metadata chunks. Future implementations could use
something more performant.
Add get, remove, iterate methods to handle the metadata.
Add function that (unlike the GLib equivalent) also accepts paths that
aren't absolute and will clean up relative markers such as ./ and ../
before forming a URI.
Fixes warnings with e.g. filesrc location=foo ! typefind caused by the
recent switch to g_filename_to_uri(), but also actually creates valid
URIs for the first time.
Windows code paths could need some more work, e.g. we don't clean up
the relative markers there for now (because path could have \ and /
as separators).
API: gst_filename_to_uri()
Add a first draft with some ideas and use cases for the implementation
for bufferpools. The purpose is to be able to make elements negotiate
their buffer requirements as well as provide an infrastructure to
preallocate and reuse buffers in an easy way.
So the encoding of the original document is respected and
displays properly in browsers where the encoding autodetection
fails to recognise that it's utf-8.

The new request_new_pad_full vmethod provides an additional caps field,
which allows elements to take better decision process.
Also, add a gst_element_request_pad() function to allow developers to be
able to specify which pad template they want a pad of.
Convert gstutils to use that new method instead of the old one when more
efficient.
This is useful for being able to request pads in a more flexible way,
especially when the element can provide pads whose caps depend on
runtime configuration and therefore can't provide pre-registered
pad templates.

Make GstObject extend from GInitiallyUnowned, remove the FLOATING flag and use
GObject methods for managing the floating ref.
Remove class lock, it was a workaround for a glib < 2.8 bug.
Remove the parent-set and parent-unset signals, attempt to implement with notify
but disabled because deadlocks in deep-notify.
Fix wrongly placed example and weirdly phrased 'note' lacking proper
formatting. Fix missing hint for autogen.sh location and rephrase
'built and installed' sentence. Fix wrongly phrased and redundant
paragraph in PWG
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634921
Add minimal math-compath.h header where we can define fallback
versions for miscellaneous math functions that aren't always
available, so we don't have to duplicate this in plugins.
The header is not included by default, so needs to be
included explicitly for now.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=630802
Adds a new tag to indicate the error in horizontal positioning
in meters. This is one of the available 'gps error' fields in
exif, for example.
API: GST_TAG_GEO_LOCATION_HORIZONTAL_ERROR
Add a function to retrieve a list of buffers containing the first N bytes from
the adapter. This can be done without a memcpy and should make it possible to
transfer the list to a GstBufferList later.
Add _set_value() variants that take ownership of the value passed
instead of making a copy of the value. This is useful for setting
values to things that aren't refcounted (e.g. GValueArrays or
strings or string arrays, etc.).
API: gst_structure_take_value()

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=629831
Add a GstStructure to GstElementClass and GstElementFactory. Add setters/getter.
Handle it in the registry code. Print items in gst-inspect.
Fixes#396774.
API: gst_element_class_set_meta_data(), gst_element_factory_get_meta_data_detail()
Added a new query type to retrieve informations about the areas of the
media currently buffered. See bug 623121.
API: gst_query_add_buffering_range
API: gst_query_get_n_buffering_ranges
API: gst_query_parse_nth_buffering_range
Make code including GStreamer headers compile with -Wcast-qual by
maintaining const-ness when casting. Also fix function signature of
gst_byte_writer_set_pos(): the byte writer should not be marked as
const.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=627910
Adds GST_TAG_APPLICATION_DATA for representing arbitrary private
data that applications might want to store into tags. Exif/id3,
for example, have tags for this.
API: GST_TAG_APPLICATION_DATA
Fixes#626651
For some reason the static inline function GST_CAT_LEVEL_LOG_valist is
now picked up, which then breaks the build because it's not documented,
so add it to the sections file.
Based on patch by Víctor Manuel Jáquez Leal <vjaquez@igalia.com>.
Fixes#625862.
Adds a new tag to inform about the image orientation and how
to rotate and flip it before display.
Note that this tag is a string with a predefined set of
possible values.

This allows removing structures from caps without them being freed. Helpful when
plugins need to move around structures without having to do an expensive structure
copy.

This makes it possible to easily get a *:5 debug log without all
the refcounting noise, and drastically reduces the number of lines
output for a normal log (46m to 28m for a 20min video). The full log
including refcounting information can still be gotten using *:7.
Fixes#620460.
Adds 3 new geo location tags involving direction and
movement of capture. Those are:
API: GST_TAG_GEO_LOCATION_CAPTURE_DIRECTION
API: GST_TAG_GEO_LOCATION_MOVEMENT_DIRECTION
API: GST_TAG_GEO_LOCATION_MOVEMENT_SPEED
Fixes#617223
Adds those new tags to describe the device manufacturer and
model used to create medias.
API: GST_TAG_DEVICE_MANUFACTURER
API: GST_TAG_DEVICE_MODEL
Fixes#615941
Use .NOTPARALLEL when building docs. This avoids intermittent
make distcheck failures like 'cp: cannot create regular file
`build/image.entities': File exists' when using -jN.
Fixes#590718.
Adds a new tag for user favorite media rating.
User rating informs how much (from 0 to 100) a user
'likes' a media.
Having an percent uint range for this is easy to map into other scales,
like some players that allow users to attribute 'stars' to its
media.
API: GST_TAG_USER_RATING
Fixes#520697
Adds that warning to configure.ac
Includes a tiny change of the GST_BOILERPLATE_FULL() macro:
The get_type() function is no longer declared before being defined.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=611692
The functions are called gst_byte_writer_put_{float32|float64}_*() and not
gst_byte_writer_put_{float|double}_*().
Spotted by: Benjamin Otte <otte@redhat.com>
Adds a new function to GstByteWriter that writes
a constant value to a memory area (aka memset).
Useful for adding padding to buffers.
Also updates .def file and docs.
API: gst_byte_writer_fill()
gst_byte_writer_reset_and_get_buffer wasn't declared
in .h, instead there was _reset_and_get_data_as_buffer.
Replace it with the real function name, that is smaller
and matches gst_byte_writer_free_and_get_buffer
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=608726
Fix link to gst-uninstalled now that it's been moved, and fix a typo
while we're at it. Also add a new section to 'Building GStreamer from
git' that points to the 'How do I develop against an uninstalled copy
of GStreamer' section.
Add a method to perform get_range typefinding that also uses the
uri/location extension as an extra hint. It will first try to call the
typefind functions of the factories that handle the given extension. The result
is that in the common case, we only call one typefind function, which speeds up
the typefinding a lot.
The only reason these two functions are still around is that at some
point in the past they were in a public header, so we can't really
remove them now even though they should have been private all along
(and aren't really particularly useful). Since these are just empty
stubs now that do nothing but return FALSE and will be removed in
0.11 anyway, we may just as well deprecate them formally.
Add a method to install a clipping function that is called when a buffer is
received. Users of collectpads can then perform clipping on the incomming
buffers.
Also retab the header file a little.
See #590265
Adds the following new tags:
GST_TAG_SHOW_NAME
GST_TAG_SHOW_SORTNAME
GST_TAG_SHOW_EPISODE_NUMBER
GST_TAG_SHOW_SEASON_NUMBER
GST_TAG_LYRICS
GST_TAG_COMPOSER_SORTNAME
GST_TAG_GROUPING
Fixes#599759
Mention that elements implementing GstMixer and GstTuner need to be
in the right state before they can be used. Also mention GLib
functions for converting filenames to and from URIs.
Fixes#602877.
gst_event_new_sink_message()
gst_event_parse_sink_message()
This event is used for sending a GstMessage downstream and synchronized
with the stream, to be posted by the sink once it reaches the sink.
Fixes bug #602275.
and install into a different directory $(libexecdir/gstreamer-0.10) so that
everything is versioned properly.
NOTE: run 'make clean' after updating; if you are running an uninstalled setup,
you will need to update your gst-uninstalled script (unless it's symlinked
to gstreamer core master) and exit/enter your uninstalled environment to get
the updated environment. If you are running an installed setup, you should
run 'make uninstall' before merging this change or remove the old
plugin-scanner binary manually.
Fixes#601698.
gst_util_greatest_common_divisor()
gst_util_double_to_fraction()
gst_util_fraction_to_double()
Using these instead of going over GValue has much lower overhead.
Also add float<->fraction transform functions for GValue.
This returns the internal feature list cookie, which changes every
time a feature is added or removed. This can be used by elements
to check if they should update their cached feature lists.
We currently do a little too much work when we push the first buffer around
resulting in excessive caps checking. We can probably make this a little less
expensive.
This patch adds gst_caps_set_value() and allows gst_caps_set_simple() to
work on non-simple caps. See the API documentation for the functions
about what they do.
The intention of these changes is to ease working with caps in caps
transform functions. An example for this would be ffmpegcolorspace,
where the caps transform function could be changed to look roughly like
this (pseudocode ahead):
result = gst_caps_copy (template_caps);
value = gst_structure_get_value (gst_caps_get_structure (caps, 0),
"widh");
gst_caps_set_value (result, value);
/* same for height, framerate and par */
return caps;
which is much cleaner and easier to understand than the current code.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=597690
In most places in core and baseclasses we just need the caps to do caps-
intersections. In that case ref'ed caps are enough (no need to copy).
This patch also switches the code to use the new functions.
API: gst_pad_get_caps_refed(), gst_pad_peer_get_caps_refed()
Add a simple version check when starting the plugin-scanner so we can
verify we're talking to one that talks the same language.
First try a plugin-scanner in the installed path, then try one via the
GST_PLUGIN_SCANNER env var if that doesn't work.
Update the uninstalled script.
Install the plugin-scanner to the libexec dir
Often we don't need the result of the intersection. Add a variant that only
tries to intersect. It can break out earlier and does less GValue copying.
API: gst_caps_can_intersect()
Use more refined search paths for our plugin modules. Not only does
this make things much faster in an uninstalled setup, it also makes
sure we're not accidentally using out-of-date plugins built ages
ago as part of a (failed) 'make distcheck' when we forget to clean
up the distcheck build directory.
There's no need to have GstStreamConsistency in a public header for
the time being, so make it private. While we're at it, add a gtk-doc
blurb for it though. Re-fixes #588744.
Add a new macro GST_DEBUG_CATEGORY_GET to get a log category by name. This
allows plugins to use e.g. core categories like PERFORMANCE or CLOCK.
API: GST_DEBUG_CATEGORY_GET
Add new method to iterate a bufferlist without having to allocate an iterator.
Add convenience method for getting an item from the list based on the group and
index.
Remove redundant _do_data callback and method.
Update unit-tests and add some more for the new methods.
Add functions to create a new tag list and set tags in one go, which
is nice for use in combination with functions that take ownership of
the taglist, such as gst_event_new_tag() or gst_element_found_tags().
API: add gst_tag_list_new_full()
API: add gst_tag_list_new_full_valist()
Add a pattern scan function similar to the one recently added to
GstAdapter, and a unit test (based on the adapter one).
Fixes#585592.
API: add gst_byte_reader_masked_scan_uint32()
Update design doc with step-start docs.
Add eos field to step done message
when stepping in reverse, update the segment time field.
Flush out the current step when we are flushing.
Add a bunch of vararg getter convenience functions to complement
the vararg setter functions, and a basic unit test. Fixes#534208.
API: gst_structure_get()
API: gst_structure_id_get()
API: gst_structure_get_valist()

Note in the docs that a flushing step in PLAYING brings the pipeline to the lost
state and skips the data before prerolling again.
Implement the flushing step correctly by invalidating the current step
operation, which would activate the new step operation.
Add gst_segment_to_position() that converts a running_time to a position in the
segment. A faulty variant of this function is currently used in inputselector
but we'll need it for frame stepping too.
API: GstSegment::gst_segment_to_position()
Update framestep document, we want to pass the flush flag in the step-done
message.
Add flush flag to the gstmessage.
Update examples to use the new step-done message api.
Implement framestep with playback rates < 0.0 too.
Add new STEP event and methods for creating/parsing the event
Update design docs.
Add new STEP_DONE message and method to create/parse.
API: GstEvent::gst_event_new_step()
API: GstEvent::gst_event_parse_step()
API: GstMessage::gst_message_new_step_done()
API: GstMessage::gst_message_parse_step_done()
Add a start_time field and some methods. The start_time will contain the
running_time of when the element last went to paused. This time can be user to
report the position in PAUSED but also to do more correct clipping and
stepping later.
Add a gst_element_lost_state_full() with an extra argument to control
distribution of a new base_time. We will need this for flushing step
operations.
API: GstElement::gst_element_lost_state_full()
Reuse buffer code for bufferlists. Not sure if this measurably impacts performance
for the simple buffer case, if it does after doing some benchmarks, we can
decouple it later.
Fixes#572285
Remove the static function set on the TaskPool before _prepare() is called and
allow for assigning a function to a Task when we _push().
Update the examples
Pass the thread object in a GValue, which would allow the application to figure
out the type of the object instead of us having to explicitly code it in a
message field.
Add the first version of the STREAM_STATUS message design docs.
This message will be used to give applications more control over the
streaming threads.

Yes, 'codec' isn't exactly the best word, but let's be consistent with AUDIO_CODEC
and VIDEO_CODEC (which may be 'raw' formats as well after all). Prerequisite for
bug #576552.
Add some of the bits needed for an uninstalled gst-rtsp-server (so gdb works
on the examples etc.). Python bits are still missing, and we might need an
-uninstalled.pc file as well in the future. Break up very long lines to make
them easier to read and maintain. Also remove gst-plugins paths from the
old days.
