Original commit message from CVS:
This is a megapatch with the following changes:
- moved the gchar *name to GstObject, removed the ones in GstElement and
GstPad.
- moved the parent handling completely into GstObject. This cause *all* of
the plugins to fail (except those that used gst_pad_get_parent)
- rearanged the XML save handling.
- GstObject now has a class function save/restore_thyself.
- GstObject has a generic method gst_object_save_thyself, this makes it
possible to fire a signal wehever a new object is loaded. This is needed
so we can add XML save hooks.
- GstXML API has changed slightly. You now have to create a GstXML object
first before you can actually load something. This makes it possible to
attach a signal to GstXML whenever an object is loaded. I'm not sure we
will keep this interface.
- GstObject can now print the path_string without knowing about the GstPad and
GstElement types.
- Added gst_bin_get_by_name_recurse_up to lookup an element in the current
element hierarchy.
- added XML namespaces to the saved pipelines the namespace is:
http://gstreamer.net/gst-core/1.0/
namespaces are needed to distinguish user generated XML from the core XML.
Note that the plugins still contain a macro GST_OBJECT_PARENT that will be
replaced with gst_pad_get_parent shortly.

Original commit message from CVS:
Wrote a little more text, and did more of the work on making the sections.
When this manual has text in all these sections its going to be pretty
impressive...
Original commit message from CVS:
Fix build problem when don't have db2html, or a directory to put the manual in:
was trying to make a symlink in the non-existant directory, and causing the
build to stop.
Original commit message from CVS:
Massive build fixup. Will send message to -devel list later with details
on the changes and what they mean for Makefile.am writers. Check
docs/random/omega/build/TODO for a list of things that I had to make sure
of.
NOTE: this requires a complete rebuild of all plugins, since I also
changed the STATE enum to a bitfield instead of sequential numbers.
Original commit message from CVS:
Antoher way of dealing with EOS. This proposal does not use the recursion
to propagate the EOS signal. This implies that an element cannot deny an
EOS signal anymore but since the signal is generated when a NULL buffer is
pushed, somebody did something wrong anyway.
Original commit message from CVS:
While typing on eos2 about the EOS handling, I got an idea and started
eos3. eos3 takes a different approach by merging the eos detection and
the scheduling in a quite elegant way. I'm not sure we handle the
scheduling like this though...
Original commit message from CVS:
Move plugin example code to new location, and put it into build system.
Add work on firstplugin chapter of pwg.
Fix typo in quotes.
Add @'s before commands in manuals.mak
Original commit message from CVS:
Add a "quotes" section to the gstreamer manual.
This may not be an appropriate place to have this - feel free to remove
it. But I think this should live _somewhere_.
Original commit message from CVS:
Add tests for -L png and -L eps arguments to fig2dev.
Correct slip in docs/manuals.mak which used HAVE_DB2PS instead of
HAVE_PS2PDF.
Original commit message from CVS:
Config directory (which currently just holds the registry)ecan now be set
by configure --with-configdir=<directory path>
Original commit message from CVS:
Wrote introduction, and changed name to plugin writers guide (though
files still need rename). I'll leave the filenames as is for now, since
the name might still change again...
Original commit message from CVS:
Fixed the MPEG2 to MPEG1 recoder, we need cannot create dangling elements
with the current scheduler. Remove the subtitle parser because it's not
possible with the current scheduler.
Added a padtemplate for MPEG2 subtitles.
Original commit message from CVS:
Updated the manual and the docs.
Removed the esdsink in gst/elements/ we have a real one not in the
plugins dir.
Added more APIs to query the plugins, types and caps. more fields now
have a getter and a setter. This is needed to make gstreamer wrapper
fiendly.
Added gst_element_disconnect beacuse we also have a gst_element_connect
