There are many good use cases for GstIndex and we want
to add it back again in some form, but possibly not with
the current API, which is very powerful (maybe too powerful),
but also a bit confusing. At the very least we'd need to
make the API bindings-friendly.
Add a GstControlBinding class. This is a preparation for making the
controlsources generate double valued control curves and do the gparamspec
mapping in the control binding. Now the API in GstObject is again mostly
for convenience.
Add a new simple miniobject that is a combination of a GstBuffer, GstCaps,
GstSegment and other arbitrary info organized in a GstStructure. This object can
be used to exchange samples between an element and the application or for
storing album art in tags etc.
This make the controller even more lightweight (no extra object, no extra lock,
less indirections). For object that don't use the controller the only 'overhead'
is a 3 unused fields in the gst_object structure.
Move the controller to gstobject as a simple delegate. The controller and
controlsource are not classes in core. The controlsources stay separate as a lib
for now. This way we can avoid the qdata lookups.
Also remove controller_init(). There is no more need to link to controller for
elements.
Also sanitize the API. We now have functions to add properties like we had
methods to remove that. That avoids then ref count hacks we had in _new.
It was a bit too clever, and didn't really work as an API,
confusing people to no end. Better implement specific methods
whether an interface is usable/available/ready on the interface
itself, or even add GError arguments, rather than try to have
per-instance interfaces.
Remove the context again, adding an extra layer of refcounting and object
creation to manage an array is too complicated and inefficient. Use a simple
array again.
Also implement event updates when calling gst_pad_chain() and
gst_event_send_event() directly.
Remove the android/ top dir
Fixe the Makefile.am to be androgenized
To build gstreamer for android we are now using androgenizer which generates the needed Android.mk files.
Androgenizer can be found here: http://git.collabora.co.uk/?p=user/derek/androgenizer.git
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 an atomic queue. The queue can be used from multiple threads simultaneously
and without taking any locks or doing any blocking operations. This makes it
highly scalable for things like the bus, bufferpools and object recycling.
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.

Point g-ir-scanner to the .la file of our library, which hopefully
makes it find the right dependencies in all cases (ie. our locally
built libgstreamer and not the system-installed one). This is also
how it's done in Gtk+ and how it's documented in the wiki, see
http://live.gnome.org/GObjectIntrospection/AutotoolsIntegration
Based on patches by Vincent Untz and Alan Knowles.
Fixes#603710.
Add check to make sure gst-plugin-scanner really gets installed where
we will look for it later, ie. paths and prefixes are set at configure
time and not specified via make.
Fixes#609941.
Link libgstreamer with $(LIBM) as it uses math functions.
Add a configure check for socket and nsl library and add
them to LIBS if they're found. This is needed on Solaris
for socket() and gethostbyname().

Remove GST_DISABLE_(ENUMTYPES|INDEX|URI) everywhere.
Disabling the indexers and URI handler code will only reduce the
required amount of memory by a very small amount but on the other hand
requires much more maintaince work. Apart from that many places of
code are broken when disabling them.
Disabling the enum types doesn't reduce the required amount of memory
by more than a few bytes and makes it hard to fix bugs like #539772,
i.e. use the enums as GObject properties.
Original commit message from CVS:
* configure.ac:
Remove AC_ISC_POSIX macro; it's broken on some platforms and not needed.
Add check (taken from -base) for winsock, adds WIN32_LIBS
* gst/Makefile.am:
Add WIN32_LIBS to LIBADD for libgstreamer. Needed now that gstpoll uses
winsock.
Define GST_EXPORTS when building libgstreamer (only used on win32)
* gst/gst_private.h:
* gst/gstinfo.h:
Use GST_EXPORT instead of locally-defined (and incorrect IMPORT_SYMBOL)
for symbols that we need to export in both these files.
* gst/gstpoll.c:
Include gst_private.h higher up to avoid some compile problems on win32.

Add generic poll abstraction. We ideally don't want to have this in core
here but in glib intead...
This code will be used in various network elements and ultimately for
the nanosecond precision monotonic clock (that's why it's here in core).
It'll allow us to implement cancelable socket operations for windows too.
