Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gstcaps.c:
Clarify behaviour of _is_equal() when passing NULL parameters.
* gst/gstpad.c: (gst_pad_link_check_compatible_unlocked),
(gst_pad_set_caps):
Cleanups. Don't unref NULL caps.
When setting the same caps, protect caps of the pad with
proper lock.
Use full functionality of _is_equal() when comparing caps.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gstcaps.c: (gst_static_caps_get_type):
* gst/gstcaps.h:
Added gpointer GType for GstStaticCaps so we can wrap them in bindings.
* gst/gstpadtemplate.c: (gst_static_pad_template_get_type):
* gst/gstpadtemplate.h:
Added gpointer GType for GstStaticPadTemplate so we can wrap them in
bindings.
Original commit message from CVS:

Small docs update.
* gst/gstcaps.c: (gst_caps_is_equal):
Don't assert on NULL <--> X. Fixes#323260
* gst/gstminiobject.c: (gst_mini_object_replace):
If we're doing atomic operations, we might just as well use
the proper way to get an atomic pointer.
* libs/gst/base/gstbasesink.c: (gst_base_sink_get_position):
Clean up debugging.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gstbuffer.c: (_gst_buffer_copy):

More docs. Spifify .h file.
* gst/gstutils.c:
Small doc update.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/base/gstbasetransform.c: (gst_base_transform_transform_caps):
* gst/gstcaps.c: (gst_caps_intersect):
Don't call gst_caps_do_simplify - it doesn't respect order of caps
and it's not needed.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gstcaps.c: (gst_caps_intersect):
fix signedness issues in a (hopefully) correct way
* gst/gstelement.c: (gst_element_pads_activate):
some debugging
* gst/gstobject.c: (gst_object_set_parent):
some debugging
Original commit message from CVS:

clean up further
* gst/gst.c: (init_post):
* win32/common/config.h.in:
it's PLUGINDIR now
* gst/gstcaps.c: (gst_caps_intersect):
use gint64, the range could be bigger than a guint
Original commit message from CVS:
2005-10-16 Julien MOUTTE <julien@moutte.net>
* gst/gstcaps.c: (gst_caps_intersect): Fix a bad bug with a
simple
fix. Because of unsigned ints, caps intersection was going nuts
and
trying to access structures with G_MAXUINT index. That fixes
videotestsrc ! ffmpegcolorspace ! fakesink
* gst/gstpad.c: (gst_pad_link_check_compatible_unlocked): logs
consistency.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gstcaps.c:
* gst/gstevent.c:
doc updates
* gst/gstvalue.c: (gst_value_deserialize_int_helper):
don't use long long, it's not portable. Replacing with
gint64 seems to work; let's hope no skeletons fall out of the closet.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gstcaps.c: (gst_caps_do_simplify):
Thou shalt not free a structure and then continue using it
in the next loop iteration.
* check/gst/gstcaps.c: (check_fourcc_list), (test_simplify),
(gst_caps_suite):
Add test case for caps simplification.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gstcaps.c: (gst_static_caps_get), (gst_caps_to_string):
Make _static_caps_get() refcounting sane.
* gst/gstelement.c: (gst_element_set_state):
Add g_return_val_if_fail() to protect against segfaults.
Original commit message from CVS:
2005-07-15 Andy Wingo <wingo@pobox.com>
* tools/gst-typefind.c: Update, add copyright block.
* gst/base/gstbasesrc.c (gst_base_src_default_negotiate):
Normalize and truncate caps before fixation.
* gst/gstcaps.h:
* gst/gstcaps.c (gst_caps_truncate): New function, destructively
discards all but the first structure from its argument.
Original commit message from CVS:
2005-07-01 Andy Wingo <wingo@pobox.com>
* tests/network-clock.scm: Commentary update.
* gst/elements/gstidentity.c (PROP_DUPLICATE): Gone daddy gone.
Didn't really make sense, not implementable with basetransform,
etc.
(gst_identity_transform): Unref inbuf via make_writable. Feeble
attempt at implementing the sync property, needs an unlock method.
* gst/base/gstbasetransform.c (gst_base_transform_transform_caps):
New func, by default returns the same caps (the identity
transformation).
(gst_base_transform_getcaps): Uses transform_caps to return
something sensible.
(gst_base_transform_setcaps): Complicated logic to get caps on
both pads, even if they are different, and to call set_caps once
for every time both pads get their caps set.
(gst_base_transform_handle_buffer): Give the ref to the transform
function. Allows in-place modification of the buffer.
* gst/base/gstbasetransform.h (transform_caps): New class method.
Given caps on one side, what can I do on the other.
(set_caps): Take two caps, one for each side of the element.
* gst/gstpad.h:
* gst/gstpad.c (gst_pad_fixate_caps): Change prototype to modify
caps in place. This is safe because we can check the mutability of
the caps, and a good idea because fixate functions are just called
as a matter of last resort. (Not actually implemented.)
(gst_pad_set_caps): If the caps we're setting is actually the same
as the existing pad caps, just update the pointer without calling
setcaps. Assert that caps is either NULL or fixed, as per the
docs.
* gst/gstghostpad.c: Update for fixate changes.
Original commit message from CVS:
First THREADED backport attempt, focusing on adding locks and
making sure the API is threadsafe. Needs more work. More docs
follow this week.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gstcaps.c: (gst_caps_compare_structures):
Simple caps go first. This has the nice side-effect of fixing an
obscure warning.

(_gst_pad_default_fixate_foreach):
* gst/gstvalue.c: (gst_type_is_fixed), (gst_value_is_fixed):
* gst/gstvalue.h:
Deprecate _type_is_fixed, use _value_is_fixed instead, since
in some cases (arrays), the fixedness depends on the content.
* gst/gstqueue.c: (gst_queue_handle_src_query):
Check for availability before doing something.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gstcaps.c: (gst_caps_save_thyself), (gst_caps_load_thyself):
Actually do something in these functions, like before the big
caps change. (bug #145137)

* gst/gstcaps.h:
make gst_caps_do_simplify return a bool to indicate if it simplified

Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gstcaps.c: (gst_caps_append), (gst_caps_intersect),
(gst_caps_union):

* gst/gstelement.c (gst_element_set_scheduler): Debugging fixes.
(gst_element_add_pad): DEBUG->INFO, some fixes.
(gst_element_get_compatible_pad_template): Just see if the
templates' caps intersect, not if one is a strict subset of the
other. This conforms more to what gst_pad_link_intersect() does.
(gst_element_class_add_pad_template): Don't memcpy the pad
template, just ref it.
(gst_element_get_compatible_pad_filtered): Clean up debug messages
* gst/gstpad.c (gst_pad_can_link_filtered): Debug a true result.
(gst_pad_link_filtered): Debug changes.

object, and return the empty string if object is NULL.
* gst/parse/parse.l: Remove trailing newlines when calling PRINT.

LOG, not DEBUG. We still get flex info on debug.

debug string more verbose.
(plugin_times_older_than): DEBUG->LOG.

* gst/gstpad.c (_gst_real_pad_fixate_accumulator):
s/pointer/boxed/.
* gst/gstmarshal.list (VOID:BOXED, BOXED:BOXED): New marshallers.
* gst/gstpad.c (gst_real_pad_class_init): Use a BOXED:BOXED
marshaller for ::fixate, and VOID:BOXED for ::caps-nego-failed,
with the type=GST_TYPE_CAPS. This allows language bindings to know
what kind of data they're dealing with.
* gst/gstcaps.c (_gst_caps_value_init): GBoxed values initialize
to NULL when g_value_init is called. GstCaps, which rolls its own
type implementation, now does the same instead of allocating empty
caps.
(_gst_caps_initialize, _gst_caps_collect_value,
_gst_caps_lcopy_value): Provide collect_value and lcopy_value type
table methods. This allows G_VALUE_COLLECT to work.

These two routines are the only ones that set
GST_GPAD_REALPAD(gpad), the ghost pad list, and the ghost pad's
pad template. They should be made static, depending on ABI needs.
(gst_real_pad_dispose): Handle the case of ghost pads without a
parent. Assert after dealing with ghost pads that the ghost pad
list is empty.
(gst_ghost_pad_class_init): New property added, ::real-pad. Can be
set after creation.
(gst_ghost_pad_dispose): Set ::real-pad to NULL.
(gst_ghost_pad_set_property, gst_ghost_pad_get_property): New
functions. set_property will call add_ghost_pad/remove_ghost_pad
as appropriate.

(gst_element_add_ghost_pad): Remove code duplicated from _add_pad.
(gst_element_remove_pad): Handle ghost pads as well.

check new caps against existing caps -- if they're the same, return
OK without renegotiating. caps-nego-failed signal fixed so that
the marshaller isn't VOID__OBJECT. Also changed to G_TYPE_POINTER
to save an extra caps copy. Don't complete negotiation if a pad

Original commit message from CVS:
Caps with empty props (which is not NULL - gst_props_new_empty()) can result in an invalid string, so we need to check for empty props (as opposed to NULL props) too.
Original commit message from CVS:
merge TYPEFIND branch. Major changes:
- totally reworked type(find) system
- bytestream is out of the core again
- typefind element is now part of gstelements

kill some memleaks, add ::signal-handoffs property to fakesrc/sink (default FALSE), cache return values of _gst_debug_nameof_funcptr
Original commit message from CVS:
Implement gst_caps_has_property*() as functions instead of macro's - this prevents failed assertions when calling them in some specific cases. See #115886
Original commit message from CVS:
GST_DEBUG reorganization
This is a big diff (ca 450k), containing loads of stuff:
- gstinfo.[ch] complete rewrite
- changing of all GST_DEBUG messages to reflect that change
- reorganization of subsystem disabling
- addition of gstconfig.h.in so we can track the disablings
- <gst/gst.h> does not include <unistd.h> and <config.h> anymore
- documentation updated for gstinfo stuff (build the docs yourself to know what changed)
- bugfixes for making of the docs (files from CVS are not deleted anymore
- testsuite for debugging changes in testsuite/debug
expect breakage
Original commit message from CVS:
- further productizing the fixed flag on GstCaps by using the flag on
GstProps instead of keeping the two in sync.
- implemented proper flag updates in _props_set and _props_remove.
Original commit message from CVS:
added gst_{props,caps}_{from,to}_string to API, see documentation for use, put errors into testsuite/caps/string-conversions.c
