Original commit message from CVS:
many changes to startup handling:
- make gst_init_with_popt_table work like gst_init - exit program on failure, return void
- add gst_init_check_with_popt_table to be the same as gst_init_with_popt_table before - work the same as gst_init_check
- revert an old workaround and apply the proper fix
- do not use g_error to exit the application, g_error causes a segfault. Use exit.
Original commit message from CVS:
- Add more --disable options
- fix makefiles to only compile non-disabled features
- some compile fixes.
- removed extratypes, added gsturitype
- make get/set clock on a bin overridable
- some portability fixes for GUINT64
- separate pools from gstregistry.[ch] into gstregistrypool.[ch]
- make gstobject size fixed, even if we disabled load/save
- don't use 'new' as a variable as it is not a valib C++ variable
Original commit message from CVS:
- Added first attempt at general caching mechanism (GstTimeCache renamed
to GstCache)
- Some more clocking checks and updates (waiting on GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE
returns immediatly instead of blocking forever)
- Moved clock get/set functions to element class instead of instance.
- Added cache methods on elements.
- Renamed GST_PROPS_BOOL_TYPE to GST_PROPS_BOOLEAN_TYPE to make it more
consistent with gst_props_get/set_boolean and GST_PROPS_BOOLEAN.
- Give short stats about plugins in gst-inspect.
Original commit message from CVS:
- Removed unused locking from the cothreads
- use G_*_DECLS in .h files
- remove gstlog.h include from gstobject.h, add to .c files
- removed unused refcounting code from gstobject
- small fixes in #includes
- Added Scheduling policy and priority properties to gstthread so that
SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR threads can be constructed.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added a runtime option to use a dummy threading implementation that uses
NOPs for all synchronisation and threading operations.
Original commit message from CVS:
Totally rewritten registry handling.
- move the registry save/load code into a gstregistry subclass, this
will make it possible to use other registries (flat file, web based,
RDBMS type, etc..)
- a simple GMarkup xml registry is implemented
- use standard statically linked plugins for core elements.
- GstPlugin has a very well defined set of functions now
A little bytestream hack..
Added more info to -inspect.
Some more debugging info for clocking.
Small cleanups
I use ./gst-register --gst-plugin-path=/opt/src/sourceforge/gst-plugins/gst-libs:/opt/src/sourceforge/gst-plugins/
to register core and gst-plugins now.
Original commit message from CVS:
registry handling changes
read up on it in docs/random/thomasvs/registry if interested
net effect should be transparent; ie. it will keep on working, but will
be more flexible than before. Testing with garnome seems to work now.
Should probably be rewritten completely, together with plugin loading, but
only after we spec it out ;) It's a bit messy.

Original commit message from CVS:
updated popt stuff:
- added 'gst_init_with_popt_table' to gst.h
- added a --silent option to launch to suppress g_object_notify events
Original commit message from CVS:
first pass at integrating popt into gstreamer
note: you will need popt 1.6.3 or greater (configure checks for this) -- debian
people will either need to patch popt 1.6.2 or install 1.6.3 by hand.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added a first stab at a better clocking system.
It still needs more infrastructure for async notification and custom clock
implementors.
This thing can still deadlock the pipeline.
Original commit message from CVS:
- Added a function to get the currently executing cothread
- Removed some useless includes
- _interrupt now returns a boolean so the behaviour after the interrupt
can be controlled by the scheduler.
- Added a better way to set/get the default scheduler.
- make thread and pipeline get the default scheduler.
Original commit message from CVS:
- added playondemand plugin by Leif Morgan Johnson <lmjohns3@eos.ncsu.edu>
- some fixes to int2float
- aplied a patch from wrobell <wrobell@ite.pl> that is a first attempt at
making automake 1.5 happy (gst now requires automake1.5). It's still not
perfect but it builds.
- Made the schedulers plugable. The default scheduler now lives inside a
plugin.
- Added a new mpeg1/2 parser/demuxer.
- Fixed some compiler warnings in the core libs.
- substantial work to GstThread (hopefully less race conditions). simplified
the code in GstThread a bit. A state change can now also happen in the
thread context.
- reworked the state semantics of a bin. it'll now automatically get the
highest state of its children.
- the autoplugger now nests the threads so that a state change failure of
one thread doesn't make its upstream thread lock.
- GstQueue refuses to go to PLAYING if the sinkpad is not connected. This
way the queue will not wedge in the _get lock.
- GstQueue unlocks its mutexes when going to PAUSED.
- make sure that when all elements in a bin/thread go to PAUSED, the bin
is set to PAUSED too.
- make a parent bin wait for its children to PAUSE before ending the
iteration with FALSE (EOS)
- Some changes to GstPlay to deal with EOS.
- aplied the latest patch from Zeenix to gstrtp.
end result: GstPlay doesn't crash on EOS and the pipeline is now shut down
properly.
Original commit message from CVS:
Updated the event system to use event,timestamp,data instead of a pointer.
Updated elements to use the event system correctly.
Changed "size" to "filesize" in disksrc.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added mthodes to request an element to create pads: gst_element_request_pad*
This can be used to construct a tee and a muxer/mixer/aggregator element.
Moved the tee element to elements/ because it can now be handled with the
new pad request features.
The padfactory also has some changes: a pad can now be of presence REQUEST,
which means that the pad can be requested from this plugin (doh).
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:
Added multiple caps to the pads
Extended the padfactory for the multiple caps
GstCaps now have a name so that future manipulations on them can be done by name
Updated the plugins for the new caps list
Original commit message from CVS:
Added DEBUG, INFO, and ERROR systems. Very little code is converted yet.
Policy decisions need to be made as to what kinds of cases get what kind
of response, and what the default ERROR response should be. Right now it
will print out all the information, then have gdb spew a stack trace.
Original commit message from CVS:
Reparented everything to GstElement, removing GstSrc, GstSink, GstFilter,
and GstConnection. Also fixed a bug in gst_bin_iterate_func.
Original commit message from CVS:
Header cleanup: try to include as little as possible; this will probably
speed up compilation a bit.
changed the .c files to use #include "..."
Fix for the 'plugins are loaded twice' bug.
Fix 22186: GstObject flags are now used everywhere. Added *_FLAG_LAST so
elements do not use the same flags. Added some padding in the flag enum
for future expansion.
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:
Added multiple types to the pads.
Added first preview of the capabilities system.
Autoplugging is seriously broken with these (and other) changes.
Original commit message from CVS:
Enhanced debugging by making DEBUG() print out the cothread ID as well as
the process ID. cothread_getcurrent returns the current cothread ID, or
-1 if cothreads aren't set up in this process context.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added extra Gtk types for better editor properties (FILENAME, enums)
The disksrcs location property can now be set in the editor: we can
now make our first working mp3 player with gsteditor!!
Original commit message from CVS:
Added CPU detection.
Added SSE optimisation to mpeg_play
Modified the mpeg2 decoder and gstidct to use cpu detection.
Cleanups in the mpeg1 and mpeg2 decoders.
