260 Changes from the 0.8 series to 0.10 series:
262 * Refcounting and API revised for thread safety, see rules in
263 docs/design/part-MT-refcounting.txt
265 * Scheduling is now done by the elements, they start/stop
266 processing threads themselves. This removes the need for
267 a separate scheduler.
269 * State changes now happen from sink to source. This makes sure
270 that downstream elements are ready to process data when upstream
273 * EOS/ERROR/... does not change the state of elements anymore. This
274 means that when the application sets the state on an element, it
275 remains in this state.
277 * GMainLoop integration. Information on the state of the pipeline
278 is now received in the mainloop via the GstBus.
280 * Events move separate from the datastream, this allows for both
281 in and out of sync delivery of events.
283 * Generic _pull() replaced by _pull_region() so that random access
286 * data passing happens from PAUSED, called the preroll phase. In this
287 state no data is rendered but it is queued in the sinks.
289 * negotiation simplified. Caps are now attached to buffers and travel
290 along with the datastream.
292 * GstBuffer is now subclassable.
294 * Ghostpads now look and feel like real pads.
296 * New Seeking/flushing policy.
298 * Addition of base classes and helper functions in the core to abstract
299 away the harder parts of plugin development.
303 * added Traditional Chinese translation
