Original commit message from CVS:
Innocuous little change to fix a warning with newer versions of automake -
shouldn't cause any backwards compatibility problems.
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.
Original commit message from CVS:
Move plugin example code to new location, and put it into build system.
Add work on firstplugin chapter of pwg.
Fix typo in quotes.
Add @'s before commands in manuals.mak
Original commit message from CVS:
Add tests for -L png and -L eps arguments to fig2dev.
Correct slip in docs/manuals.mak which used HAVE_DB2PS instead of
HAVE_PS2PDF.
Original commit message from CVS:
Config directory (which currently just holds the registry)ecan now be set
by configure --with-configdir=<directory path>
Original commit message from CVS:
Added proper comment for the bonobo component
fix a compile bug in inspect... Erik, have pending changes to gstpad.h?
Original commit message from CVS:
Added auto detection of libesd.
Added nearly complete esdsink: all structure in place, just need to add
actaul links to libesd. ;-)
Original commit message from CVS:
Add GST_HTTPSRC_GET_TYPE back into configure.in: documentation fails to
build correctly when libhttp isn't present without this.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added a check for libjpeg
Added and action for the load menu in gstplay
Fixed drag and drop in gstplay
More verbose errors in gstasyndisksrc
Original commit message from CVS:
Massive, massive update of most source files. I went through and cleaned
up all the warnings that I could, which involved fixing some of the plugins.
The configure.in script was re-arranged and cleaned up so, and a check for
libtool 1.3.5 was added to autogen.sh. Added checks for Gtk and GNOME.
Some plugins were removed from the list of things to build for various reasons.
Added GST_DEBUG_FORCE_DISABLE in gstgetbits, since that's time critical and
even an if() from a DEBUG can significantly increase runtimes.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added checking for all the tools used to make documentation.
If documentation cannot be generated, whatever is available will still be
installed.
videosink/imagetest is now a check_PROGRAM
Original commit message from CVS:
Added launch back into make system.
The Makefile wasn't being generated, resulting in make dist failing when
the directory was entered for make dist.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added --enable-info and --disable-info-system
nothing specified = INFO enabled, mask to 0x00000001
--enable-info = INFO enabled, mask to 0xffffffff
--disable-info = INFO compiled into a nop and thus disabled
Original commit message from CVS:
Brand new source, the cdparanoia source. Reads audio data from a CD,
writes out raw audio. The tests/paranoia.c program will simply hook this
up to a sound card. It works perfectly.
Next step is to flesh out the rest of the element, including pad caps,
better seek and playout control, signals, and whatever else comes up.
A minor patch to the editor is included here, the GstElementFactory details
struct has a name change from 'class' to 'klass' that wasn't reflected
in the elementselect widget. Fixd.
Original commit message from CVS:
Changes made to the DEBUG system. New header file gstdebug.h holds the
stuff to keep it out of gst.h's hair. DEBUG prints out the process id,
cothread id, source filename and line number. Two new macros DEBUG_ENTER
and DEBUG_LEAVE are used to show the entry and exit of a given function.
This eventually might be used to construct call trace graphs, even taking
cothreads into account. This would be quite useful in visualizing the
scheduling mechanism.
Minor changes to various debug messages.
Also sitting in gstdebug.h is a prototypical DEBUG_ENTER that's capable of
performing DEBUG_LEAVE automatically. It does this by utilizing a
little-known GCC extension that allows one to call a function with the
same parameters as the current function. The macro uses this to basically
call itself. A boolean is used to ensure that when it calls itself it
actually runs the body of the function. In the meantime it prints stuff
out before and after the real function, as well as constructing a
debugging string. This can be used eventually to provide call-wide data
on the DEBUG lines, instead of having to replicate data on each call to
DEBUG. More research is needed into how this would most cleanly be fit
into some other chunk of code, like GStreamer (I think of this DEBUG trick
as a separate project, sorta).
Unfortunately, the aforementioned DEBUG trick interacts quite poorly with
cothreads. Almost any time it's used in a function that has anything
remotely to do with a cothread context (as in, it runs in one), a segfault
results from the __builtin_apply call, which is the heart of the whole
thing. If someone who really knows assembly could analyze the resulting
code to see what's really going on, we might find a way to fix either the
macro or the cothreads (I'm thinking that there's something we missed in
constructing the cothreads themselves) so this works in all cases.
In the meantime, please insert both DEBUG_ENTER and DEBUG_LEAVE in your
functions. Be sure to put DEBUG_ENTER after your variable declarations
and before any functional code, not to put the function name in any DEBUG
strings (it's already there, trust me), and put a DEBUG_LEAVE if you care
enough.
Changes are going to happen in the way DEBUGs and other printouts occur,
so stay tuned.
Original commit message from CVS:
Reworked AC3 decoder. No seeking yet but at least we do not need ac3parse
anymore.
Reworked dvdsrc to read scrambled data (DeCSS not included). I have
modified DeCSS a bit to work in GStreamer. Can I release the code or is
there some lawyer that's going to sue me?
MPEG2 SSE motion compensation.
Tried to add PTS to the MPEG decoder but failed.
Original commit message from CVS:
Docs updates.
Added LICENSE info to headers/code where missing in gst directory
Added a bonobo wrapper for the media player (it shows up in gshell but
locks up when activating the component, anyone?)
Fixed some XML save/load problems with arguments.
Original commit message from CVS:
More Docs updates.
Added plugin documentation. I fear we need a gstdoc implementation
that loads plugins and does introspection on them. I think we should
automatically create the docs for the pads and mime types the plugins
provide. Does anyone have enough perl knowledge to add these features? I
allready changed the C code to output the pad definitions but my perl
knowledge is too limited, for now, to implement the rest of the needed
functionality...
