Original commit message from CVS:
- Elements can now send events to their parent.
- remove the g_signals from the core for parent<->child communication
- the application can easily get element info by listening for an event
signal from the toplevel bin.
- added gst_element_info()/_error().
- fakesrc and fakesink use the info event instead of g_print.
- GST_TYPE_* causes segfaults with elect fence, rever to G_TYPE_POINTER
until we know what's wrong.
- various leaks fixed wrt element destroy.
- The object that created the event is now stored as GST_EVENT_SRC

Original commit message from CVS:
* minor typographical change to autogen
* added --with-html-dir option to configure
* more robust docbook checks
* convert to standard docbook makefiles, at least for the gst/ directory
* added filesrc.h so that docbook can know about filesrc

least one of the lines between <section> and </section> is not an entity
* first pass at possible getting the docs to build on glib2, untested
Original commit message from CVS:
- added playondemand plugin by Leif Morgan Johnson <lmjohns3@eos.ncsu.edu>
- some fixes to int2float
- aplied a patch from wrobell <wrobell@ite.pl> that is a first attempt at
making automake 1.5 happy (gst now requires automake1.5). It's still not
perfect but it builds.
- Made the schedulers plugable. The default scheduler now lives inside a
plugin.
- Added a new mpeg1/2 parser/demuxer.
- Fixed some compiler warnings in the core libs.
- substantial work to GstThread (hopefully less race conditions). simplified
the code in GstThread a bit. A state change can now also happen in the
thread context.
- reworked the state semantics of a bin. it'll now automatically get the
highest state of its children.
- the autoplugger now nests the threads so that a state change failure of
one thread doesn't make its upstream thread lock.
- GstQueue refuses to go to PLAYING if the sinkpad is not connected. This
way the queue will not wedge in the _get lock.
- GstQueue unlocks its mutexes when going to PAUSED.
- make sure that when all elements in a bin/thread go to PAUSED, the bin
is set to PAUSED too.
- make a parent bin wait for its children to PAUSE before ending the
iteration with FALSE (EOS)
- Some changes to GstPlay to deal with EOS.
- aplied the latest patch from Zeenix to gstrtp.
end result: GstPlay doesn't crash on EOS and the pipeline is now shut down
properly.
Original commit message from CVS:
quoting from the comment i put in gststaticautoplug.c:
it is likely that the plugin is not loaded yet. thus when it loads it
will replace the elementfactory that gst built from the cache, and the
GST_OBJECT_NAME will no longer be valid. thus we must g_strdup its name.
this might be an implementation problem, i don't know, if a program keeps
a reference to a cached factory after a factory has been added on plugin
initialization. i really don't know though.
Original commit message from CVS:
* cleaned up mangling of properties and names in ladspa by using g_strcanon
* added g_strcanon to gobject2gtk.[ch], not tested though
Original commit message from CVS:
Direct events to the event handler for non event-ware elements.
pass the event to the chain function for event aware elements.
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:
remove ability to set dparams from -launch. this is the only real loss of functionality from moving dparams out of core. Maybe I'll make the parser pluggable ;)
Original commit message from CVS:
all info to describe a dparam is now in the GstDParamSpec struct. The resemblance to LADSPA descriptors is intentional
Original commit message from CVS:
Move newbuf creation to the non-copyfunc case, since the copyfunc is now
assumed to create the buffer (from a bufferpool, perhaps). This solves a
memory leak.
Original commit message from CVS:
1. Add more warnings for the gst core only. Various trival fixes
to quiet the warnings.
2. Fix GstBufferCopyFunc prototype.
3. Re-apply the reverted type!=0 assertion in gst_elementfactory_new.
Original commit message from CVS:
Nobody checks the return value of gst_pad_connect. This patch
renames gst_pad_connect to gst_pad_try_connect and makes
gst_pad_connect return void.
Original commit message from CVS:
added to -launch syntax: if an arg is prefixed with a '@' it will be treated as a dparam. eg sinesrc @volume=1.0 @freq=440.0
Original commit message from CVS:
gstinfo.[ch], cothreads.c: added initial support for -finstrument_functions
gstbin.c: removed a reference to config.h
gstbuffer.[ch]: added gst_buffer_is_span_fast(), used it in gst_buffer_span
elements/gstfilesrc.c: initial work fleshing out the event handling code
everywhere else: wrapped XML stuff in #ifndef's
Original commit message from CVS:
replace GstDparamPoint struct with GValue** (actually that was in the previous commit). Change gst_dparam_new_point to gst_dparam_new_value_array
Original commit message from CVS:
s/Dparam/DParam/ <taaz> i'll whine about an irrelevant thing: Dparam vs DParam. though Dparam is more consistantly screwed up with everything else ;)
Original commit message from CVS:
Added MIPS support to cothreads (untested), and moved all the architecture-
specific code out of the many header files and put them all in gstarch.h.
Original commit message from CVS:
I think I finally have this configdir thing under control. The defines on the
make command lines were not following the GST_CONFIG_DIR variable.
Original commit message from CVS:
The bufferpool api has changed. Check gstbufferpool.h to see the updated
interface.
Also, the default bufferpool implementation has been finished somewhat. Take a
look at speed.c to see an example of its use, when I get the plugins committed.
Original commit message from CVS:
Updated the event system to use event,timestamp,data instead of a pointer.
Updated elements to use the event system correctly.
Changed "size" to "filesize" in disksrc.
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 :-)
Original commit message from CVS:
- changed timestamps to gint64 (*signed* 64-bit)
- updated buf->offset handling to deal with the -1 (0xffffffff) case
- added gst_buffer_span() and gst_buffer_merge (see -devel for details)
Original commit message from CVS:
Added prototypes for gst_pad_peek, gst_pad_select and gst_pad_selectv.
Added different scheduling methods in aggregator.
Fixed a bug in fakesrc when setting up the scheduling functions.
Original commit message from CVS:
Some code cleanups.
Added printouts of the buffer timestamps in identity, fakesrc, fakesink.
Added an aggregator test element.
Original commit message from CVS:
Aplied the patch from Andy Wingo <apwingo@eos.ncsu.edu> add padtemplates
to element classes without using an elementfactory.
The gst_element_add_padtemplate_to_class method was renamed to
gst_element_class_add_padtemplate to better match glib/gtk conventions.
Original commit message from CVS:
Allow elements to be given custom names with [] syntax.
ie, gstreamer-launch disksrc[mysrc] ! ...
makes a disksrc element named mysrc, rather than disksrc0
Suggestion: don't name things with names with numbers at the end, or they
may conflict with names allocated automatically.
Original commit message from CVS:
Ensure that the marshaller code #includes glib-object.h, and hence the
neccessary definitions to enable it to compile.
I don't pretend to understand how the marshalling stuff works - I just
know that it clearly needs this #include, or something similar. If there's
a more correct fix, someone else can do it. Possibly this is a
glib-genmarshal bug, but I've not got the time to go into that.
Original commit message from CVS:
Ensure that the gstmarshal.[ch] files are generated in time by generating
both files in the same rule: previously, only the .c would be generated in
time. Don't put the files in dists (add a dist-hook to take them out),
and clean the files when running distclean.
Original commit message from CVS:
Removed the GST_CONFIG_DIR from config.h and made a -D CFLAG for it
instead so that we can do full expansion on the sysconfdir.
Original commit message from CVS:
Convert XMMS and LIBGHTTP checks to use GST_CHECK_FEATURE()
XMMS check is turned off by default (though not in a very neat way)
Original commit message from CVS:
Add consts to appropriate parameters in debug and info handlers.
Add appropriate types for some of the memebers of the GTypeInfo struct.
Original commit message from CVS:
gobject2gtk.h: added g2g_object_get_type() prototype
gst.c: fixed gst_add_paths_func() prototype
gstelement.c: changed some prototypes, added a cast
Original commit message from CVS:
Reworked the arguments for DEBUG and INFO. Removed -debug-verbose.
Renamed GST_DISABLE_XML to GST_DISABLE_LOADSAVE and added --disable flag.
Original commit message from CVS:
Changed all globally defined stub functions to use the g2g_ prefix instead
of g_, to avoid *any* potential namespace conflicts.
Original commit message from CVS:
added ref counting to the buffer pool. also _destroy will clean up the buffer pool mem_chunk if it is the default implementation
Original commit message from CVS:
Simplify properties which contain lists of integer and integer range
entries to minimal combination of ints and ranges that is equivalent.
eg, (1,2,3,7-12,13) becomes (1-3,7-13)
Don't bother with floats for the moment, though it would be easy to add
an equivalent, which would simplify overlapping ranges.
Original commit message from CVS:
added a default bufferpool factory function. it reuses existing instances of bufferpool if requests are made for existing buffer sizes
Original commit message from CVS:
Changed a stupid assert in request_pad.
Some fixes for pullregion and EOS conditions.
Remove an unneeded check in the scheduler (check for NULL buffer)
some EOS fixes for pullregion in disksrc.
Removed the macro in the gstparse.h header 'cause it's internal to gstparse.c
Added a check in gstparse for NULL element.
Original commit message from CVS:
can now take comma delimited list of pads. eg gstreamer-launch disksrc location=~/mp3/gnome.mp3 ! mad ! int2float src%d,src%d\!sink%d,sink%d float2int ! osssink
Original commit message from CVS:
Use the STACKSIZE and number of cothreads to calculate the cothread stack
space (easier to change the number of cothreads).
Original commit message from CVS:
Replace NO_X conditional compilation with testing whether DISPLAY env
variable is set, and doing gtk_type_init() instead of gtk_init() if not.
Original commit message from CVS:
Update Makefile.am.future - a replacement for Makefile.am which uses
features present in recent versions of automake (>1.4d) to avoid horrendous
hackery.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added some caps != NULL checks.
Patched up a problem with the thread handling when the iteration fails.
Cleaned up the output of -inspect a tiny bit.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added the possibility to escape chars in gstparse. You can now give it a
cmdline like disksrc location=some\ sort\ of.mp3 ! .... and it does the
right thing.
Original commit message from CVS:
- Fix cothread pointers and allocation so full 2M stack space available:
- Double maximums to use full stack space:
- COTHREAD_STACKSIZE = 16k
- COTHREAD_MAXTHREADS = 128
- cothread changes only verified on x86
- cothread_create returns NULL if nthreads == MAXTHREADS though not yet handled by gstschedule caller
Original commit message from CVS:
- basic arch check for HAVE_RDTSC
- use common gst_trace_read_tsc() for RDTSC call
- add untested function to do ascii dump of trace data
Original commit message from CVS:
fixed up macros to match new RealPad stuff, change #if 1 to #if 0 to use, beware you must rebuild all plugins after change
Original commit message from CVS:
Created a macro of the va_arg parsing function because some systems (PPC)
cannot handle passing a va_list by reference.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added dynamic pads to the command line parser.
./gstreamer-launch disksrc location=/some/systemstream.mpg ! mpeg1parse video_00!
queue ! \{ mp1videoparse ! mpeg_play ! aasink \}
will now work.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added colorization to DEBUG and INFO. Colors are based on categories, with
the strings in _gst_category_colors[] in gstinfo.c See wiki node
GstDebugColors for the actual colors, or /etc/DIR_COLORS works too.
Please comment on the colorization style and ideas in the above wiki node.

Original commit message from CVS:
- commented out remainder of Meta stuff
- enhanced mem_chunk allocation to round up to nearest 32 bytes
this helps ensure that GstBuffers are more likely to be on cache-lines
- added free() and copy() function pointers to GstBuffer
- added code in _destroy and _copy to use above routines if !NULL
- fixed up _copy code to suck less
Original commit message from CVS:
Collection of minor changes:
* autogen.sh - remove config.cache before running ./configure
* gst/elements/gstfakesink.c - print out the size of the buffer, too
* plugins/Makefile.am - removed a spare trailing backslash
* plugins/arts/gst_artsio_impl.cc - change the scale back to 0.5
* plugins/oss/gstosssrc.c - change name slightly to match osssink
Original commit message from CVS:
API docs updates.
Properly implemented the disksink.
Fixed a compile problem with alsa.
Added bufferpool handling to dvdec
Some compiler warning fixes
Original commit message from CVS:
Fixed a few plugins so that mpeg1 encoding sorta works.
Added an mpeg1 encoder example, it uses the autoplugger to convert
the stream to audio/video, which is then fed to the encoders.
Original commit message from CVS:
* first stab at a disk sink element
* no optimization, is it necessary ?
* basic error checking
* seems to work; you can copy files by typing
gstreamer-launch disksrc location=test.in ! disksink location=test.out
* decode of mp3 to raw pcm also tested
Original commit message from CVS:
The first wave of docs updates
Added a little more comments about the API usage in the api docs.
Some fixes for the capsnego testsuite.
Original commit message from CVS:
A rather large patch:
- changed the API for the padtemplates:
- remove the factories (array of pointers) for the padtemplates,
properties and caps. The static array was a nice idea but converting
all the property values to a gpointer was not a good idea.
float properties were not possible, and casting a gint to a pointer
is not very portable. The new API just uses the _padtemplate_new,
_caps_new and _props_new functions to create the templates.
This has the added benefit that the API is now uniform for static
and dynamic templates and that the code can be made cleaner.
- lots of cleanups in the way the capabilities are constructed (va_list)
- lots of updates for all the plugins (new API)
- docs updates (new API)
- removed the videoraw docs.
Original commit message from CVS:
Lots of updates to the plugins for caps negotiation.
Added YUY2 output to the win32 dlls.
Added a colorspace converter in gstplay
Original commit message from CVS:
Add a proposed makefile to use in place of Makefile.am.
This depends on automake 1.4d or later, but is much neater, avoiding
horrible hacks to pass special flags in.
I put it here for safekeeping until automake 1.5 is released, at which
point we can reasonably require it.
Original commit message from CVS:
Fix obscure segfault I just got: perhaps due to running with libxml 1.8.11
(prerelease version), but a worthwhile fix anyway.
Original commit message from CVS:
A rather large update:
- a new videosink using plain X windows (xvideosink). It uses capsnego to
set up it's formats.
- gstplay uses the new xvideosink and a gtk_socket. The initial window
size is set to 0x0 so you need to resize it before you see something.
- got rid of the video metadata include file in favour of properties and
caps negotiation
- adjusted most plugins to not use the metadata.
Original commit message from CVS:
Simplified the FOURCC API to the caps, add a GST_MAKE_FOURCC macro
to create a fourcc.
Adjusted the plugins to use the new FOURCC API
Original commit message from CVS:
Added a plain X videosink, the videosink uses capsnego.
adjusted the v4lsrc so that it uses capsnego on the src pad
Small fixed to capsnego and the properties/caps.
Original commit message from CVS:
Modified a lot of plugins to use the caps system.
Modified the caps of audio/raw to our agreed properties.
Added the multidisksrc plugin of Dominic Ludlam
Renamed audiosink/src to osssink/src and updated all the examples using
the old name. Moved oss specific plugins in an oss directory. removed
the old audiosink from the elements/ dir.
removed audioraw.h metadata header files since we now use the properties.
There are still a few plugins that won't build because they include the
old audioraw.h header file. This will be fixed soon.
Make sure the caps are set in the plugins as described by their
padtemplates (this should solve problems with gstmediaplay with various
media files).
*please don't panic when some plugins won't build, just cd manually into
the plugin dirs* This will be fixed soon.
Original commit message from CVS:
More work on capsnego proxying. It should be OK now.
Added another testcase enum that shows various capsnego algorithms.
Warn about pads that try to set a capability incompatible with their
padtemplate.
Implemented refcounting and copy_on_write for caps/props.
Original commit message from CVS:
More work on capsnego, mostly proxying
Added another testsuite for capsnego
Added caps to vorbisdec, mp3parse, mp1videoparse
Redid the queue proxy handling a bit.
Original commit message from CVS:
Reworked the capsnegotiation function
audiosink now uses capsnego to set its parameters
mpg123/ac3dec use capsnego instead of metadata
Added the beginnings of a testsuite for capsnego.
Original commit message from CVS:
Fix gst_init() so that it doesn't fail when passed two NULLs as parameters.
Was dereferencing the argv pointer to get progname: now defaults to
"gstprog".
Original commit message from CVS:
Small fixes to pipeline and gstbin.
Fixed the xmmstest makefile entry
Removed the plugin_load statements in videotest
Applied the patch from Steve Baker for float args parsing
Original commit message from CVS:
Added a utility function in gstutils to set an object argument as a
string. gstparse.c and gstelement.c now use this function.
Original commit message from CVS:
CPU detection of MMXEXT and probably 3DNOW (not on Athlon yet)
Renamed the mmxe motion compentation files.
disabled SSE optimisation in ac3dec because it apparently faults..
enable MMXEXT motion compensation on non SSE CPUs (AMD)
Original commit message from CVS:
slightly changed the Makefile.am in videoscale libs.
v4lsrc works again
A little modification to the videotest programm to use a tee element.
added support for multiple paths in --gst-plugin_path=.
added ab ENV variable GST_PLUGIN_PATH to specify extra directories to
look for plugins.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added two options: --gst-plugin-spew will print errors when plugins fail
to load. --gst-plugin-path= will add a directory to the path searched for
plugins.
Original commit message from CVS:
More doc updates
Manual additions: xml/load save of custom XML, debugging, request pads
added a signal to the example plugin
fixed a bug in mp3parse (ifdef 1)
Original commit message from CVS:
Fix a couple of instances of childs, which should be xmlChildrenNode. We
need to be careful to stop these creeping back in... ;-)
Original commit message from CVS:
- backported the xml load bug in the properties
- backported the videosink bug
- make sure the regiontype is set to NONE after a getregion
- an ugly fix (copy the chainfunction outselves) to make the avidecoder
work again.
Original commit message from CVS:
Reworked getregion/pullregion stuff. Region is now specified by a type
(OFFSET_LEN, TIME_LEN, etc.) and two guint64's. They are offset and len,
where offset can be used for the time field, and len would be zero or
the time unit (say, 33ms for video).
Original commit message from CVS:
Added a first attempt for XML embedding in the main core XML.
Objects will emit a signal that a user app can connect to in order to
insert its XML into the tree.
You can catch the object_loaded signal in GstXML to parse the user
supplied XML data in the stream. The object_loaded signal is implemented
with a custom made class signal. All GstObject classes now automatically
create a GstSignalObject that serves as a proxy to the user app when an
object is loaded. All objects are currently responsible to emit the
class signal themselves.
runxml and createxml serve as an example how the XML hooks can be used to
insert and retrieve custom XML tags.
Original commit message from CVS:
Lots of plugins fixes where the parentage macros were replaced with the
correct gst_*_get_parent.
Updated the example.
'gstreamer' now is the doc type instead of GST-Pipeline
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:
Add gst_element_request_compatible_pad and remove gst_element_request_pad.
Implemented something reasonable for gst_element_request_compatible_pad,
but havn't tested much: it won't work for tee because the pad templates
have no caps, and negotiation is not yet written, so it is assumed that the
tee pads can't connect to anything.
Original commit message from CVS:
Docs updates
Added XML load from memory functionality
Undid the videosink patch, something else is wrong now on my machine:
no MMX acceleration :-(
Original commit message from CVS:
Applied the patch from Sepp Wijnands <mrrazz@garbage-coderz.net> that solves
the 'OSS hangs when opening the device when in use' bug.
Original commit message from CVS:
Check for NULL buffers before chaining/pushing them to the next element.
NULL buffers happen on EOS.
gst_bin_iterate now returns a gboolean indicating something usefull happened.
It the bin is EOS, it returns FALSE.
Original commit message from CVS:
More EOS changes.
When a bin2 is found inside a bin1, we add the bin2 to the EOS providers
of the bin1. When there is nothing more to schedule in bin1 and bin2 has
fired EOS, bin1 is in EOS.
The queue overrides the EOS notification and calls EOS on the src pad
when the queue is empty and the sink pad is in EOS.
Original commit message from CVS:
A very small change to make eos somewhat work. no inner bins are checked.
When an element fires EOS, the chain with that element is removed from
the scheduler (marked inactive). If all chains are inactive, the bin
fires EOS.
Original commit message from CVS:
Major cleanup of the latest ghostpad changes. Fixed everything that
broke, correctly. Someone will want to go update the API doc templates.
Original commit message from CVS:
ALPHA COTHREADS WORK! Worked around a nasty stack issue that probably
can't be solved anyway. Tomorrow the UDB build will commence, and let the
best guess win!
Original commit message from CVS:
First pass at updating to new ghostpad system. The objects are in place,
I now need to go and get all the Bin end of things worked out. Testing
should be fairly easy, at least for verification.
Everything I've tried so far works with no changes, with is amazing.
That's just cool. Once again we rewrite an entire subsystem, and nothing
else notices anything but the new features ;-)
Original commit message from CVS:
Added mthodes to request an element to create pads: gst_element_request_pad*
This can be used to construct a tee and a muxer/mixer/aggregator element.
Moved the tee element to elements/ because it can now be handled with the
new pad request features.
The padfactory also has some changes: a pad can now be of presence REQUEST,
which means that the pad can be requested from this plugin (doh).
Original commit message from CVS:
Updates to cothreads code, including non-working alpha. Changed things a
bit, including PPC. Not having a PPC machine, I need someone to test
these changes and report back whether they worked or not.
Original commit message from CVS:
Adding nasty hack to rules to generate cothreads.{o,lo}, to get dependencies
right. Rules copied from automake, and therefore a bit dependent on automake
keeping doing dependency things the same kind of way, but it should work as
long as automake puts dependencies into .deps/*.P
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.
