Returning a newly allocated string makes no sense. It's unexpected for a
getter, and also this behaves differently in 0.10, so it would make future
merges harder.
Except for these two places here in core which were updated for the new
semantic, the return value is getting leaked all over the place.
The feature name is not supposed to change over time anyway. In order to enforce
this parentize features to the registry and make the feature->name pointing to
GstObject:name. In 0.11 we could consider of removing the feature->name variable
(FIXME comment added).
Fixes: #459466
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gstpad.h: (GST_PAD_LINK_SUCCESSFUL):
* gst/gstpluginfeature.h: (GstPluginFeatureClass):
Some minor docs fixes: fix typo, mention that GST_FLOW_RESEND is
unused and unimplemented; finally, it is plugin features, not
plugins, that have ranks.

* gst/gstevent.h (struct _GstEvent): Only one pointer of padding.
* gst/gststructure.h (struct _GstStructure): Only one pointer of
padding.
* gst/gstquery.h (struct _GstQuery): Only one pointer of padding.
* gst/gstpluginfeature.h: Remove a comment in PluginFeature.
* gst/gstplugin.h (struct _GstPluginClass): Add some padding.
* gst/gstobject.h: (struct _GstObject): Only one pointer of
padding; reduces object size by about 30%. We don't expect
anything else to go into gstobject.
* gst/gstminiobject.h (struct _GstMiniObject)
(struct _GstMiniObjectClass): Only one pointer of padding; the
payload is only a pointer and two ints anyway. For the class there
are only two methods as well.
* gst/gstelement.h (struct _GstElementClass): Removed
the state_changed signal callback, it is not used.

Registry rewrite. Changes registry from being a file created
by a tool into a simple cache file created automatically by
libgstreamer. Removed gst-register (because it's no longer
needed). Remove registry pools, because we only have one
registry implementation (XML). Fix up other subsystems as
necessary.
Original commit message from CVS:
Removed plugable schedulers.
Removed Scheduler/Manager from elements.
Removed gsttypes.h, rearranged includes.
Removed dependency pad<->element, element<>pipeline, and
various others, fix includes.
implement gst_pad_get_parent() with gst_object_get_parent()
Make GstTask sefcontained.
Fix _get_state() on GstBin, it did not return ASYNC with a 0
timeout.
Fix endless loop in iterator_fold_with_resync.
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:
implement URI schemes
Elements can now register as a source or sink for a protocol and applications can use gst_element_make_from_uri () to get an element that handles a given URI.
This patch provides:
- removal of old broken URI handling scheme.
- new URI handling using interfaces.
- updates for registry to save handled URIs.
- interface for URI handlers.
- implementation of that in filesrc and filesink for the file:// URI
- extension to pipeline parsing to allow specifying only a URI instead of element
Does not include:
- tests
- inclusion in docs build
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
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:
- Cleanups
- Added padding to structs
- fixed typechecking/casts
- reduced casts
- implemented remove_element in gstbin
- implemented set index on bin
Original commit message from CVS:
- Removed unused locking from the cothreads
- use G_*_DECLS in .h files
- remove gstlog.h include from gstobject.h, add to .c files
- removed unused refcounting code from gstobject
- small fixes in #includes
- Added Scheduling policy and priority properties to gstthread so that
SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR threads can be constructed.
Original commit message from CVS:
Totally rewritten registry handling.
- move the registry save/load code into a gstregistry subclass, this
will make it possible to use other registries (flat file, web based,
RDBMS type, etc..)
- a simple GMarkup xml registry is implemented
- use standard statically linked plugins for core elements.
- GstPlugin has a very well defined set of functions now
A little bytestream hack..
Added more info to -inspect.
Some more debugging info for clocking.
Small cleanups
I use ./gst-register --gst-plugin-path=/opt/src/sourceforge/gst-plugins/gst-libs:/opt/src/sourceforge/gst-plugins/
to register core and gst-plugins now.
Original commit message from CVS:
API docs.
revived _buffer_ref_by_count
fast types for scheduler and bin.
error checking on plugin features;
removed some prototypes that were not implemented (gst_pipeline_iterate
comes to mind)
remove gst_pad_event until we know what it's supposed to do.
remove sinesrc, it wasn't compiles anymore, so...
updates to various elements that used the old event API.
Original commit message from CVS:
Lots of modifications to the plugin system.
- Added a GstPluginfeature object that serves as a base class for all
plugin contents.
- changed the plugin API, everyhting is now added with
gst_plugin_add_feature
- typefactories are named now so that they can be located easily and filled
in at plugin load.
- mime types like "video/raw image/raw" are gone for now.
- lots of plugin updates (style and API changes)
- tested with an without registry.
- updates to various tools.
- added a little testsuite to test/show how you can load plugins (4 modes)
Test this one, Almost everything has changed :-)
