They are very confusing for people, and more often than not
also just not very accurate. Seeing 'last reviewed: 2005' in
your docs is not very confidence-inspiring. Let's just remove
those comments.
Fix annoying gst_type_find_register() function signature. A simple
string with comma-separated extensions works just as well and saves
lines of code, casts, relocations and ultimately kittens.
This avoids:
* triple-checking for the GType when type-checking is enabled (see #597260)
* Avoids going through an expensive no-argument checking which landed in
glib-2.22
* Avoids going through 2 extrac functions (g_object_new -> g_object_new_valist)
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gsttypefind.c: (gst_type_find_register):
Make gst_type_find_register work for static typefind functions,
ie. allow passing plugin == NULL (prerequisite for #498924).
* gst/gstelementfactory.c: (gst_element_register):
Small docs addition.

Make some functions that should be static static; rename some
private symbols so that they don't get exported; add some FIXME
comments so we can move accidentally exported functions into
our private section in 0.11.
* win32/common/libgstreamer.def:
Add gst_utils_get_timestamp().
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gsttypefind.c: (gst_type_find_get_type):
* gst/gsttypefind.h:
Added GST_TYPE_TYPE_FIND and gst_type_find_get_type() so a GType gets
registered for GstTypeFind pointers. This allows wrapping the structure
in bindings (i.e. gst-python).

Registry rewrite. Changes registry from being a file created
by a tool into a simple cache file created automatically by
libgstreamer. Removed gst-register (because it's no longer
needed). Remove registry pools, because we only have one
registry implementation (XML). Fix up other subsystems as
necessary.
Original commit message from CVS:
First THREADED backport attempt, focusing on adding locks and
making sure the API is threadsafe. Needs more work. More docs
follow this week.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gstpad.c: (gst_pad_set_explicit_caps):
check that caps are fixed
* gst/gstpad.c: (gst_pad_template_new):
don't try to simplify caps, costs too much time on gst_init

G_ERROR if features are added twice
* gst/gsttypefind.c: (gst_type_find_register):
* gst/gstelementfactory.c: (gst_element_register):
don't add features twice
* docs/random/ds/0.9-suggested-changes:
add note about possible gst_init optimization
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:
New typefind system:
* bytestream is now part of the core
* all plugins have been modified to use this new typefind system
* asf typefinding added
* mpeg video stream typefiding removed because it's broken
* duplicate typefind entries removed
* extra id3 typefinding added, because we've seen 4 types of files
(riff/wav, flac, vorbis, mp3) with id3 headers and each of these needs
to work. Instead, I've added an id3 element and let it redo typefiding
after the id3 header. this needs a hack because spider only typefinds
once. We can remove this hack once spider supports multiple typefinds.
* with all this, mp3 typefinding is semi-rewritten
* id3 typefinding in flac/vorbis is removed, it's no longer needed
* fixed spider and gst-typefind to use this, too.
* Other general cleanups
Original commit message from CVS:
implement translatable error messages using gerror.
Includes bugfixes for:
- crash when unlinking Ghostpads
- make *_PAD_* macros use glib casts
- make spider typefinding merge buffers correctly
Original commit message from CVS:
But you can't use G_TYPE_BOXED in a signal. Changing to G_TYPE_POINTER
until code is added to register a type for GstCaps.
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
