They can be used to select snapping behavior (to previous, next, or
nearest location, where relevant) when seeking.
The seeking implementation (eg, demuxer) may currently ignore some
or all of these flags.
It's only used internally, most other users will likely
want to use gst_registry_find_plugin() directly instead
(and if not, they can easily walk the list and doing the
strcmp themselves).
This is an implementation detail really, and it's not
clear what anyone would do with this. It's unused as
far as I'm aware, so just remove it for now.
Rename the _get_value_array() functions to _get_g_value_array() and reintroduce
the former to operate on plain unboxed c datatypes (like in 0.10). The _g_value
variants are for bindings while the _value ones are more suited to processing
in elements.
Add gst_element_class_{add,set}_metadata() variants for static strings,
so we can avoid unnecessary g_strdup()s.
API: gst_element_class_add_static_metadata()
API: gst_element_class_set_static_metadata()
Remove GST_MAJORMINOR and replace it by GST_API_VERSION
Also set GST_VERSION_{MAJOR,MINOR,MICRO,NANO} explicitely
now.
All versions are at 1.0.0 now for the release soon but
API/ABI can still change until the 1.0.0 release.
Next release versions until 1.0.0 will be 0.10.9X and
these will be release candidates. GST_VERSION_* will
nonetheless stay at 1.0.0.0.
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.
