This is an ad-hoc release that is almost identical to 0.10.34:
* work around GLib atomic ops API change
* some minor win32/mingw fixes
* don't use G_CONST_RETURN in public headers
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.
Highlights:
- new parser base class: GstBaseParse
- new core element: funnel
- OSX multi-arch fixes
- new QoS type for QoS events
- new progress message API to notify applications of asynchronous operations
- countless other fixes and improvements
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.
Seems like the best fit to what it does, and is shorter than
set_frame_properties() which might also have been confusing
because of GstBaseParseFrame.

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.

GST_DISABLE_DEPRECATED should only affect visibility of declarations in headers,
not actually remove symbols. See GitDeveloperGuidelines and DeprecatingAPI
pages in wiki.

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
Make separate api for getting and adding metadata. This allows us to pass extra
parameters to the init functions when creating metadata, which is needed for
specific API implementations.
Add beginnings of memory metadata.
Add first implementation of arbitrary buffer metadata. We use a simple linked
linked of slice allocated metadata chunks. Future implementations could use
something more performant.
Add get, remove, iterate methods to handle the metadata.
Add function that (unlike the GLib equivalent) also accepts paths that
aren't absolute and will clean up relative markers such as ./ and ../
before forming a URI.
Fixes warnings with e.g. filesrc location=foo ! typefind caused by the
recent switch to g_filename_to_uri(), but also actually creates valid
URIs for the first time.
Windows code paths could need some more work, e.g. we don't clean up
the relative markers there for now (because path could have \ and /
as separators).
API: gst_filename_to_uri()
The new request_new_pad_full vmethod provides an additional caps field,
which allows elements to take better decision process.
Also, add a gst_element_request_pad() function to allow developers to be
able to specify which pad template they want a pad of.
Convert gstutils to use that new method instead of the old one when more
efficient.
This is useful for being able to request pads in a more flexible way,
especially when the element can provide pads whose caps depend on
runtime configuration and therefore can't provide pre-registered
pad templates.

API: gst_element_request_pad
