gst_buffer_take_memory -> gst_buffer_insert_memory because insert is what the
method does.
Make all methods deal with ranges so that we can replace, merge, remove and map
a certain subset of the memory in a buffer. With the new methods we can make
some code nicer and reuse more code. Being able to deal with a subset of the
buffer memory allows us to optimize more cases later (most notably RTP headers
and payload that could be in different memory objects).
Make some more convenient macros that call the more generic range methods.
Add gst_buffer_append() which appends the memory blocks from one buffer to
another. Remove the old inefficient _merge() and _join() methods which forced a
premature memcpy in most cases.
Remove the _is_span() and _span() methods they are not needed anymore now that
we can _append(). Merging and spanning will be delayed until mapping or maybe
not at all when the element can deal with the different memory blocks.
Separate the bufferpool and allocator hints in the allocation query, some
of the values don't always make sense together.
Keep the bufferpool and its configuration together.
Keep the allocator and its parameters together.
Allow for multiple bufferpool configurations in the query.
Group the extra allocation parameters in a GstAllocationParams structure to make
it easier to deal with them and so that we can extend them later if needed.
Make gst_buffer_new_allocate() take the GstAllocationParams for added
functionality.
Add boxed type for GstAllocationParams.
Also register queries with a QueryType that allows us to check if the event is
sent in the right direction. Add a serialized query type because we will need
this for the allocation query.
Remove the QueryTypeDefinition stuff, it is not used anymore and we now use
custom queries and separate API for them.
Update defs.
Rename _do_simplify() to _simplify(). The name was introduced as a replacement
method for a deprecated method but we can now rename it again.
Fix some docs.
There isn't really any need to provide public API for that. It's not
used anywhere in practice, and we aim to provide an API that works
for GstCaps, not some kind of generic set manipulation API based on
GValue. Making this private also makes it easier to optimise this
later. We can always put it back if someone actually needs it.
Split out the registration of the metadata API and its implementation. Make a
GType for each metadata API. This allows us to store extra information with the
API type such as the tags.
Change the buffer API so that we can get the metadata using the API GType.
Change the query API so that we use the metadata API GType in the allocation
query instead of a string.
Update netaddress and unit tests
Flesh out the transform method. Add a type and extra info to the transform
function so that implementation can transform the metadata.
Remove the copy function and replace with the more generic transform.
Rename _is_writable() with _is_exclusive because the writability does not depend
on the amount of references to the memory object anymore.
Add accessor macros for the memory flags.
Rename the GstBuffer _peek_memory() method to _get_memory() and return a
reference to the memory now that we can do this without affecting writability
of the memory object. Make it possible to also make this function merge the
buffer memory.
Add methods to replace memory in a buffer. Make some convience macros for the
buffer memory functions.
Fix unit tests.
Add refcounting to the GstAllocator object.
Remove const from functions because the allocator is refcounted now.
Rename the vmethods for consistency
Expose the constructor for GstAllocator and add a destroy notify for the
user_data. This should make it possible to create allocators that are not
registered and shared globally along with the possibility to destroy them
properly.
Update defs with new symbols.
int and int64 ranges can now have an optional step (defaulting to 1).
Members of the range are those values within the min and max bounds
which are a multiple of this step.

We introduced our own when GLib didn't want to add a GType
for GError. But now that there is one, we can use GLib's
unconditionally and remove our version.
Which we had to add because GLib didn't have it
back in the day. Port everything to plain old
G_TYPE_DATE, which is also a boxed type. Ideally
we'd just use GDateTime for everything, but it
doesn't support not setting some of the fields
unfortuntely (which would be very useful for
tag handling in general, if we could express
2012-01 for example).

An extra application preset dir help to organize presets created for special
purposes. Fixes#660760
API: gst_preset_set_app_dir(), gst_preset_get_app_dir()
Add a new simple miniobject that is a combination of a GstBuffer, GstCaps,
GstSegment and other arbitrary info organized in a GstStructure. This object can
be used to exchange samples between an element and the application or for
storing album art in tags etc.
Better now than later in the cycle. These might come in handy:
sed -i -e 's/GstProbeReturn/GstPadProbeReturn/g' `git grep GstProbeReturn | sed -e 's/:.*//' | sort -u`
sed -i -e 's/GST_PROBE_/GST_PAD_PROBE_/g' `git grep GST_PROBE_ | sed -e 's/:.*//' | sort -u`
sed -i -e 's/GstProbeType/GstPadProbeType/g' `git grep GstProbeType | sed -e 's/:.*//' | sort -u`
No one uses this or should ever need to use it, since
the size is architecture-specific anyway. If normal
integers don't do, one should use 64-bit integers.
Remove gst_mini_object_register() and add a GST_DEFINE_MINI_OBJECT macro to
define a _get_type() function for the boxed miniobject.
Remove a bunch of custom _get_type() functions and replace them with the
miniobject macro.
Rename some _init method to _priv_*_initialize() like the rest of them.
Inspired by patch from Johan Dahlin and see bug #657603
Remove gst_pad_get_negotiated_caps(), it does not realy do what it says,
gst_pad_get_current_caps() returns the currently negotiated caps on the pad
correctly.
Make it possible to query the supported options of a bufferpool and enable
options. This is a bit more generic than the API to enable metadata. The purpose
is to make it possible to add new custom config options to the configuration of
the bufferpool when supported.
Also return the offset in a GstMemory block with the get_sizes() method. This
allows us to figure out how much prefix there is unused.
Change the resize function so that a negative offset can be given. This would
make it possible to resize the buffer so that the prefix becomes available.
Add gst_buffer_get_sizes() to return the offset and maxsize as well as the size.
Also change the buffer resize method so that we can specify a negative offset
to remove prefix bytes.
This allows to get the internal pad of ghostpads and
proxypads without using gst_pad_iterate_internal_links()
and is much more convenient.
The internal pad of a ghostpad is the pad of the opposite direction
that is used to link to the ghostpad target.
Remove the context again, adding an extra layer of refcounting and object
creation to manage an array is too complicated and inefficient. Use a simple
array again.
Also implement event updates when calling gst_pad_chain() and
gst_event_send_event() directly.
Remove pad_alloc and all references. This can now be done more efficiently and
more flexible with the ALLOCATION query and the bufferpool objects. There is no
reverse negotiation yet but that will be done with an event later.
Add a query to request allocation parameters and optionally a bufferpool as
well. This should allow elements to discover downstream capabilities and also
use the downstream allocators.
Allow for automatic merging of memory block in the _map function and automatic
freeing of the temporary memory.
Remove some unneeded functions.
Add possibility to force writable spanned memory.
Just like gst_caps_intersect, but adds a new parameter 'mode'
that allows selecting the intersection algorithm to use.
Currently we have GST_CAPS_INTERSECT_MODE_ZIG_ZAG (default) and
GST_CAPS_INTERSECT_MODE_FIRST.
API: gst_caps_intersect_full
API: GstCapsIntersectMode
API: GST_CAPS_INTERSECT_MODE_ZIG_ZAG
API: GST_CAPS_INTERSECT_MODE_FIRST

GST_DISABLE_DEPRECATED should only affect visibility of declarations in headers,
not actually remove symbols. See GitDeveloperGuidelines and DeprecatingAPI
pages in wiki.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=402141
Add new functions to clarify how the caps are compared to the template caps of
the element factory. Improve the docs to point out the difference.
Deprecate: gst_element_factory_can_{src|sink}_caps
API: add gst_element_factory_can_{src|sink}_{any|all}_capps
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=402141
Use a GstStructure to provide the pool with the right configuration. Also
provide some helper methods to configure such a structure.
don't pass the config in alloc_buffer, pool implementation will already have
parsed it during set_config.
Update defs
