Original commit message from CVS:
This is an attempt at not segfaulting on errors but reporting some
usefull info instead.
- bin changes so errors can propagate.
- changed the _FAST macros to _CAST because that is what they do.
- removed all references to cothreads out of the core, they are
really a scheduler issue, handler with a sched_private gpointer.
- added a live buffer count, for debugging buffer leaks.
- added error checking in gst_scheduler_state_transition this solves the
"out of cothreads" problem.
- GST_ELEMENT_NO_ENTRY == GST_ELEMENT_INFINITE_LOOP
- added 2 private element flasg for use by the scheduler
(_COTHREAD_STOPPING) is now
- added scheduler entry points:
- _yield : to create possible scheduling points.
- _interrupt: to stop execution of an element.
- _error: to signal en error condition to the scheduler.
- improved error messages for pads.
- signal gst_element_error where appropriate.
- added the a new bin to the parent before entering it so one can reference
its children.
- queue memleak fixes on dispose.
- added possible deadlock detection in queue (turned off be default)
- GstBasicScheduler is a real class of its own now, hiding its internal
variables.
- GST_ELEMENT_IS_COTHREAD_STOPPING is gone. either call explicit _yield
operations, or make a sane loop.
- Better state change handling in filesrc. Better error reporting/recovery
too.
- updated core plugins.
- detect non decoupled elements on scheduler boundries and error.
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:
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:
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:
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:
Added DEBUG, INFO, and ERROR systems. Very little code is converted yet.
Policy decisions need to be made as to what kinds of cases get what kind
of response, and what the default ERROR response should be. Right now it
will print out all the information, then have gdb spew a stack trace.
Original commit message from CVS:
Header cleanup: try to include as little as possible; this will probably
speed up compilation a bit.
changed the .c files to use #include "..."
Fix for the 'plugins are loaded twice' bug.
Fix 22186: GstObject flags are now used everywhere. Added *_FLAG_LAST so
elements do not use the same flags. Added some padding in the flag enum
for future expansion.
Original commit message from CVS:
Documentation updates. All standard library objects and standard
elements are documented. Modified some of the elements to more
accuratly report about their arguments so the documentation builds
more reasonable output.
Added aviencoder and jpegencoder elements (not working yet)
