Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gst.c: (scan_and_update_registry), (init_post):
If the fork()'ed child process can't write the updated registry cache
file to disk for some reason, make it exit with a failure exit code,
so that the parent can then re-scan the plugins itself and update the
registry structures in memory and work with that (rather than failing
when creating elements because seemingly no plugins are available).
Refactor registry scanning code into separate function for this and
also separate fork() and non-fork() code paths. Fixes#344748.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gst.c: (init_post):
use _exit() instead of exit() in our forked child; this ensures
that none of the registered exit handlers from whatever is using
GStreamer get executed. This fixes gnome-mixer-applet failing
to load, because ORBit would shut down.
Spotted by: Edward Hervey <edward@fluendo.com>
Fix suggested by: Tim-Philipp Müller <tim at centricular dot net>
Fixes#344474

Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gst.c: (add_path_func), (init_post):
Don't scan registry paths passed via --gst-plugin--path immediately
(will crash, because absolutely nothing is set up and no types are
registered etc.); do this later in init_post(). Fixes#343057.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gst.c: (init_post):
if we have fork, fork while reading/rebuilding the registry
so the parent doesn't take the hit of having all plugins loaded
in memory. Fixes#342777.
* configure.ac:
Check if we have fork()
* win32/common/config.h.in:
no fork() on win32

needed). Remove registry pools, because we only have one
registry implementation (XML). Fix up other subsystems as
necessary.

* tools/gst-xmlinspect.c:
* parse/grammar.y:
* gst/base/gsttypefindhelper.c:
* gst/base/gstbasesink.c:
* gst/gstqueue.c: RPAD fixes.
* gst/gstghostpad.h:
* gst/gstghostpad.c: New ghost pad implementation as full proxy
pads. The tricky thing is they provide both source and sink
interfaces, since they proxy the internal pad for the external
pad, and vice versa. Implement with lower-level ProxyPad objects,
with the interior proxy pad as a child of the exterior ghost pad.
Should write a doc on this.
* gst/gstpad.h: s/RPAD/PAD/, s/RealPad/Pad/.
(gst_pad_set_name, gst_pad_set_parent): Macros removed, use
gst_object API.
* gst/gstpad.c: Big changes. No more stub base GstPad, now all
pads are real pads. No ghost pads in this file. Not documenting
the myriad s/RPAD/PAD/ and REALIZE fixes.
(gst_pad_class_init): Add properties for "direction" and
"template". Both are construct-only, so they can't change during
the life of the pad. Fixes properly deriving from GstPad.
(gst_pad_custom_new, gst_pad_custom_new_from_template): Gone. For
derived objects, just set properties when creating the objects via
g_object_new.
(gst_pad_get_parent): Implement as a function, return NULL if the
parent is not an element.
(gst_pad_get_real_parent, gst_pad_add_ghost_pad)
(gst_pad_remove_ghost_pad, gst_pad_realize): Removed.
* gst/gstobject.c (gst_object_class_init): Make name a construct
property. Don't set it in the object init.
* gst/gstelement.c (gst_element_add_pad): Don't allow adding pads
with UNKNOWN direction.
(gst_element_add_ghost_pad): Remove non-orthogonal API. Replace
with gst_element_add_pad (e, gst_ghost_pad_new (name, pad)).
(gst_element_remove_pad): Remove ghost-pad special cases.
(gst_element_pads_activate): Remove rpad cruft.
* gst/gstbin.c (gst_bin_change_state): Use gst_pad_get_parent to
catch the pad's-parent-not-an-element case.
* gst/gst.h: Include gstghostpad.h.
* gst/gst.c (init_post): No more real, ghost pads.
* gst/Makefile.am: Add gstghostpad.[ch].
* check/Makefile.am:
* check/gst/gstbin.c:
* check/gst/gstghostpad.c (test_ghost_pads): Check that linking
into a bin creates ghost pads, and that the refcounts are right.
Partly moved from gstbin.c.

* gst/gstquery.c (_gst_query_initialize): Extend GstQuery from
GstData, init a memchunk.
(standard_definitions): Add a few query types, deprecate a few.
(gst_query_get_type): New proc.
(_gst_query_copy, _gst_query_free, gst_query_new): GstData
implementation.
(gst_query_new_application, gst_query_get_structure): New public
procs.
* docs/design/draft-query.txt: Removed LINKS from the query types,
because all the rest can be dispatched to other pads -- seemed
ugly to have a query that couldn't be dispatched. internal_links
is fine as a pad method.
* gst/gstpad.h: Add query2 as a pad method, add the new functions
in gstpad.c, but maintain binary compatibility for the moment.
Will fix before 0.9 is out.
* gst/gstqueryutils.c:
* gst/gstqueryutils.h: New files, implement 3 methods for each
query type: parse_query, parse_response, and set. Probably need an
allocator as well.
* gst/gst.h: Add gstquery.h and gstqueryutils.h to the list.
* gst/elements/gstfilesink.c (gst_filesink_query2):
* gst/base/gstbasesrc.c (gst_basesrc_query2): Replace old query,
query_types, and formats methods.
* gst/gstpad.c (gst_pad_query2, gst_pad_query2_default)
(gst_pad_set_query2_function): New functions.
(gst_real_pad_init): Set query2_default as the default query2
function. Basically just dispatches to internally linked pads.
Needs review!
* gst/gstdata_private.h (_GST_DATA_INIT): Set data->refcount to 1
without using the atomic operations. Only one thread can possibly
be accessing the data at this point. Changed so as to avoid
gst_atomic operations.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/Makefile.am: remove gstcpu.[ch]. The gst_cpu functionality

- gsttag.[ch] - The definition of GstTagList and tag registering/querying
- gsttaginterface.[ch] - Interface for elements that can handle setting of tags
- updates and merges to gststructure.[ch] and gstvalue.[ch]
- testsuite/tags - some tests for tagging
- bugfixes
- updates to make make distcheck work
- updates the version number to 0.7.2.1
Does not include:
- including tagging stuff in docs
- extensive tests
Original commit message from CVS:
improve debugging options:
- don't compile in debug help if compiled with GST_DISABLE_GST_DEBUG
- load all plugins on gst_debug_help so that all debugging categories can be displayed
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:
fix threading on non-optimized atomic architectures. This unfortunately requires initializing threading in init_pre because the debugging subsystem needs this. Therefore the --gst-nothreads command line option does not work anymore. So I erased it. You can however still call gst_use_threads (FALSE); before calling gst_init
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:
many changes to startup handling:
- make gst_init_with_popt_table work like gst_init - exit program on failure, return void
- add gst_init_check_with_popt_table to be the same as gst_init_with_popt_table before - work the same as gst_init_check
- revert an old workaround and apply the proper fix
- do not use g_error to exit the application, g_error causes a segfault. Use exit.
Original commit message from CVS:
- Add more --disable options
- fix makefiles to only compile non-disabled features
- some compile fixes.
- removed extratypes, added gsturitype
- make get/set clock on a bin overridable
- some portability fixes for GUINT64
- separate pools from gstregistry.[ch] into gstregistrypool.[ch]
- make gstobject size fixed, even if we disabled load/save
- don't use 'new' as a variable as it is not a valib C++ variable
Original commit message from CVS:
- Added PAD_NEGOTIATING flag, remove PAD_EOS flag
- Try to avoid negotiation in state change if pad were already negotiating
- Added gstquery.c for completeness (maybe merge common functions with
gstformat.c?)

Original commit message from CVS:
- Removed bufferpool code and move that to gstbuffer.c
- implemented refcounting on GstData
- implemented new buffer code based on Company's work in the EVENTS2 branch
- added boxed types for GstData/GstEvent/GstBuffer/GstBufferPool
- added refcounting to bufferpools and events
- use lockfree allocation for buffers
- simplified the clock, use lockfree allocation
- use GQueue in GstQueue for faster access to the tail element
- update core plugins to the new event API
Original commit message from CVS:
Added a runtime option to use a dummy threading implementation that uses
NOPs for all synchronisation and threading operations.
Original commit message from CVS:
* fix refcounting tests so that they compile and run, but they fail currently:
gst leaks obscene amounts of memory ;)
* fix plugin loading test so that it only refers to plugins within the gstreamer/
tree
* store gst plugin paths in the registry
* is GST_REGISTRY is set, only use the user registry with the PLUGIN_PATH explictly
specified by the user
* all tests should pass now except refcounting
Original commit message from CVS:
* GST_PLUGIN_PATH gets split into the user registry
* some debugging output in registry rebuilding
* don't go into =build, =inst, etc
* i really don't know what the current idiom is for the plugin test suites, disabling for now
still pending issues: what to do when other plugin paths are passed on the command
line for existing registries. if the existing registries were built against those
paths, the time checks work, but if not they will need to be rebuilt. i have a feeling
they should be rebuilt in any case, but it's a tricky issue.
Original commit message from CVS:
Check to see if the registry is out of date, and if so try to rebuild it.
WIERD THING: trying to run gst-register using system() fails. Apparently child processes
can't link to libs parent processes use? It's wierd, and it could be a libtool issue.
That's probably just as well, it would be better just to use -register's code from within
core and not rely on another binary.
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:
Added --gst-fatal-warnings, the same as --g-fatal-warnings
It's named differently to avoid conflicting with --g-fatal-warnings, which is parsed
by gtk (which we don't depend on)
Original commit message from CVS:
registry handling changes
read up on it in docs/random/thomasvs/registry if interested
net effect should be transparent; ie. it will keep on working, but will
be more flexible than before. Testing with garnome seems to work now.
Should probably be rewritten completely, together with plugin loading, but
only after we spec it out ;) It's a bit messy.
