An object that can be waited on and asked for asynchronous values.
In much the same way as promise/futures in js/java/etc
A callback can be installed for when the promise changes state.

Add convenience API that iterates over all pads, sink pads or
source pads and makes sure that the foreach function is called
exactly once for each pad.
This is a KISS implementation. It doesn't use GstIterator and
doesn't try to do clever things like resync if pads are added
or removed while the function is executing. We can still do that
in future if we think it's needed, but in practice it will
likely make absolutely no difference whatsoever, since these
things will have to be handled properly elsewhere by the element
anyway if they're important.
After all, it's always possible that a pad is added or removed
just after the iterator finishes iterating, but before the
function returns.
This is also a replacement for gst_aggregator_iterate_sink_pads().

When a plugin declares a dependency using this flag, all the
relative paths are considered to be relative to the path of
the main executable.
We try to determine the path of the executable portably,
with implementations provided for Linux, Windows and Mac.
If retrieval of the path fails, we will not detect changes.
In order for the main executable path to be the same when
scanning a plugin in a child process, a new variable is
exposed in gst_private.h, _gst_executable_path

This stores debug logs in memory per thread and uses up to a
configurable amount of bytes per thread for the logs. Inactive threads
are timed out after a configurable amount of time.

gst_protection_filter_systems_by_available_decryptors() takes an array
of strings and returns a new array of strings filtered by the available
decryptors for them so the ones you get are the ones that you should be
able to decrypt.

This is a meta that generically allows to attach additional reference
timestamps to a buffer, that don't have to relate to the pipeline clock
in any way.
Examples of this could be an NTP timestamp when the media was captured,
a frame counter on the capture side or the (local) UNIX timestamp when
the media was captured.

This is useful for integration with other event loops that work by
polling file descriptors. G_IO_IN will always be set whenever a message
is available currently.

This is to help bindings access properties of type GST_TYPE_ARRAY.
This function will get/set the property and convert form/to
GValueArray.
New API:
gst_util_set_object_array
gst_util_get_object_array
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=753754
This adds a binding friendly interface to get and set arrays
and list into GstStructure.
New API:
- gst_structure_set_array
- gst_structure_set_list
- gst_structure_get_array
- gst_structure_get_list

As an usecase of URI fragment, it can indicate temporal or spatial
dimension of a media stream. To easily parse key-value pair,
newly added gst_uri_get_media_fragment_table () API will provide
the table of key-value pair likewise URI query.

Implement GstDynamicTypeFactory as a new registry feature.
GstDynamicTypeFactory provides a way of registering a GType
into the registry, such that it will be registered as a dynamic
type when the registry is loaded, and then automatically loaded
if the type is needed during caps parsing.
This allows using non-core types in pad templates, by loading a
registry feature to create the GType on the fly.

Fixes g-i warning "Gst: Constructor return type mismatch
symbol='gst_element_message_new_details' constructed='Gst.Element'
return='Gst.Structure'".
This is a newly-added function in git that has not been in a stable
release yet, so it's fine to rename it. It's also only used indirectly
via macros.
A new event which precedes EOS in situations where we
need downstream to unblock any pads waiting on a stream
before we can send EOS. E.g, decodebin draining a chain
so it can switch pads.

Redirection messages are already used in fragmented sources and in
uridecodebin, so it makes sense to introduce these as an official message
type.

We already had a _full() version, but having that alone seems inconsistent.
Add a non-full version that mirrors the behaviour of gst_pad_link() vs
gst_pad_link_full().
This calls a function from another thread, asynchronously. This is to be
used for cases when a state change has to be performed from a streaming
thread, directly via gst_element_set_state() or indirectly e.g. via SEEK
events.
Calling those functions directly from the streaming thread will cause
deadlocks in many situations, as they might involve waiting for the
streaming thread to shut down from this very streaming thread.
This is mostly a convenience function around a GThreadPool and is for example
used by GstBin to continue asynchronous state changes.

Be notified in the application thread via bus messages about
notify::* and deep-notify::* property changes, instead of
having to deal with it in a non-application thread.
API: gst_element_add_property_notify_watch()
API: gst_element_add_property_deep_notify_watch()
API: gst_element_remove_property_notify_watch()
API: gst_message_new_property_notify()
API: gst_message_parse_property_notify()
API: GST_MESSAGE_PROPERTY_NOTIFY

This is a useful function to automatically add ghost pads when linking
two elements across bin boundaries without know their exact parentage.
e.g. when using gst_parse_bin_from_description (with or without it ghosting pads),
one can simply retreive the src/sink pads from the bin to link to another pad.
Similar functionality is provided by gst_element_link_pads{_full}() however only
by pad name rather than by actual pads.
API: gst_pad_link_maybe_ghosting_full
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=764176
Pretty much every single element does
gst_element_class_add_pad_template (element_class,
gst_static_pad_template_get (&some_templ));
which is both confusing and unnecessary. We might just
as well add a function to do that in one step.
