+
+	* gst/gstvalue.c:
+	  gstvalue: don't write to const char *
+	  Our various deserializing functions require NULL terminators
+	  to not over consume substrings (eg fields of an array). Instead
+	  of writing a NULL terminator to the passed-in string, which may
+	  result in segfaults, make a copy of the substring we're interested
+	  in.

+
+	* meson.build:
+	  build: use cpu_family for arch checks
+	  e.g. on 32-bit arm, we may have armv6, armv7l, armv7hf, etc which all
+	  generally have the same layouts.  cpu_family() groups all of these into
+	  just 'arm' that the ABI check table is expecting.

+
+	* tools/gst-launch.c:
+	  gst-launch: go back down to GST_STATE_NULL in one step.
+	  Going through each state on the way back down to GST_STATE_NULL
+	  can cause deadlocks, for example:
+	  gst-launch-1.0 audiotestsrc ! valve drop=true ! autoaudiosink
+	  ctrl + C
+	  Hangs forever when going to PAUSED, because the "final" state is
+	  ASYNC, and the sink blocks waiting for a preroll buffer.
+	  Going straight to NULL addresses this issue, and also helps
+	  making teardown faster when piping sparse streams to a
+	  sync sink.

+	* gst/gstsystemclock.c:
+	  systemclock: Fix clock time conversion on Windows/xbox
+	  The returned ratio can be bigger than GST_SECOND, in which case we would
+	  forever return 0 for the system clock time. Even in other cases if it's
+	  close to GST_SECOND it would result in accuracy loss.
+	  Instead of doing the division by GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE during
+	  initialization once, do it every time the clock time is requested.

+
+	* libs/gst/check/gstcheck.h:
+	  check: Use g_thread_yield instead of g_usleep(1)
+	  Since the commit
+	  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/commit/01c02ac08b682de622930b1278c9c14d0ffe6c49,
+	  g_usleep(1) will be translated to Sleep(1) on Windows which means
+	  sleep in 1 millisecond. But GLib provides g_thread_yield() API
+	  which is exactly what we required here for thread context switching.

+
+	* gst/gstmeta.c:
+	  gstmeta: intern registered impl string
+	  Subsequent lookups in the hashtable are probably better done
+	  on memory we're confident is allocated to us :)
+	  It was easy to trigger invalid reads by calling gst_meta_register
+	  with dynamically allocated memory, freeing that memory, then
+	  calling gst_meta_get_info()

+
+	* libs/gst/base/gstaggregator.c:
+	  aggregator: fix iteration direction in skip_buffers
+	  Subclasses use the pad segment to determine whether a buffer
+	  should be skipped, we thus don't want to check if a buffer
+	  needs to be skipped before processing the segment it's part
+	  of.

+
+	* gst/gstbuffer.c:
+	  buffer: fix meta sequence number fallback on rpi
+	  The global seqnum variable wasn't actually increased in
+	  the fallback code path, leading to all buffers getting
+	  a seqnum of 0. Which also made the unit test fail.
+	  This affects platforms/toolchains that don't have
+	  64-bit atomic ops such as when compiling for armv7 rpi.

+
+2018-05-02 13:05:21 +0200  Christoph Reiter <reiter.christoph@gmail.com>
+
+	* gst/gstelementfactory.c:
+	  gstelementfactory: Fix missing features in case a feature moves to another filename
+	  In case a plugin filename was renamed with the plugin being in the registry cache
+	  the features were not loaded after the rename:
+	  1) Cache of old/gone filename was loaded, features added
+	  2) New filename was loaded, features where not added because
+	  they were already found in the registry.
+	  3) In the end stale cache entries for files which are no longer there
+	  are removed, including the wanted features.
+	  4) The cache gets updated without the features.
+	  Fix this by also checking at (2) that the found feature is from the loaded plugin
+	  and not from some stale cache entry.
+	  This affected directsoundsink where libgstdirectsoundsink.dll was renamed
+	  to libgstdirectsound.dll, losing the directsoundsink element in the process.
+	  Fixes #290

+
+	* gst/gstelement.c:
+	  element: When removing a ghost pad also unset its target
+	  Otherwise the proxy pad of the ghost pad still stays linked to some
+	  element inside the bin, which is not allowed anymore according to the
+	  topology.
+	  In 2.0 this should be fixed more generically from inside GstGhostPad but
+	  currently there is no way to get notified that the ghost pad is
+	  unparented.

+
+	* gst/gstelement.c:
+	* gst/gsttask.c:
+	  gst: Delay creation of threadpools
+	  Since glib 2.64, gthreadpool will start waiting on a GCond immediately upon
+	  creation. This can cause issues if we fork *before* actually using the
+	  threadpool since we will then be signalling that GCond ... from another process
+	  and that will never work.
+	  Instead, delay creationg of thread pools until the very first time we need
+	  them. This introduces a minor (un-noticeable) delay when needing a new thread
+	  but fixes the issues for all users of GSTreamer that will call gst_init, then
+	  fork and actually start pipelines.
+	  See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/2131 for more context.

+
+	* gst/gstregistry.c:
+	  registry: Use a toolchain-specific registry file on Windows
+	  If we load a plugin registry for MinGW plugins when running with MSVC,
+	  we will have to write out the whole cache again, and vice-versa. Just
+	  use separate cache files so that the cache is actually useful.

+
+	* tools/gst-inspect.c:
+	  gst-inspect: Use gst_info_strdup_vprintf to print string
+	  g_vprintf() will write a string binary to stdout directly using fwrite().
+	  So, depending on character in the string, fwrite to stdout can
+	  print broken one but printf family might not cause the issue.

+	  queue2: Avoid races when posting buffering messages
+	  When posting a buffering message succesfully:
+	  * Remember the *actual* percentage value that was posted
+	  * Make sure we only reset the percent_changed variable if the value we just
+	  posted is indeed different from the current value

+	* tests/check/elements/queue2.c:
+	  queue2: don't post unnecessary buffering message, refine locking
+	  This is a follow up to review comments in !297
+	  + The posting of the buffering message in READY_TO_PAUSED isn't
+	  needed, removing it made the test fail, but the correct fix
+	  was simply to link elements together
+	  + Move code to relock the queue and set last_posted_buffering_percent
+	  and percent_changed inside the buffering_post_lock in create_write().
+	  This makes locking consistent with post_buffering()

+
+	* plugins/elements/gstqueue2.c:
+	* tests/check/elements/queue2.c:
+	  queue2: Fix missing/dropped buffering messages at startup
+	  This fixes a bug that occurs when an attempt is made to post a buffering
+	  message before the queue2 was assigned a bus. One common situation where
+	  this happens is when the use-buffering property is set to TRUE before the
+	  queue2 was added to a bin.
+	  If the result of gst_element_post_message() is not checked, and the
+	  aforementioned situation occurs, then last_posted_buffering_percent and
+	  percent_changed will still be updated, as if posting the message succeeded.
+	  Later attempts to post again will not do anything because the code then
+	  assumes that a message with the same percentage was previously posted
+	  successfully and posting again is redundant.
+	  Updating these variables only if posting succeed and explicitely
+	  posting a buffering message in the READY->PAUSED state change ensure that
+	  a buffering message is posted as early as possible.

+	  baseparse: Fix upstream read caching
+	  When running in pull mode (for e.g. mp3 reading),
+	  baseparse currently reads 64KB from upstream, then mp3parse
+	  consumes typically around 417/418 bytes of it. Then
+	  on the next loop, it will read a full fresh 64KB again,
+	  which is a big waste.

+	  Previously we would use the object lock only for storing the sync

+	  then call the sync handler. Between unlocking and calling the sync
+	  handler it might be unset and the user_data be freed, causing it to be
+	  called with a freed pointer.
+	  To prevent this add a refcounting wrapper struct around the sync
+	  handler, hold the object lock while retrieving it and increasing the
+	  reference count and only actually free it once the reference count
+	  reaches zero.
+	  As a side-effect we can now also allow to actually replace the sync
+	  handler. Previously it was only allowed to clear it after initially
+	  setting it according to the docs, but the code still allowed to clear it
+	  and then set a different one.
