4 * All deprecated methods were removed. Recompile against 0.10 with
5 DISABLE_DEPRECATED and fix issues before attempting to port to 0.11.
7 * GST_BOILERPLATE is gone, use G_DEFINE_TYPE instead.
9 * various methods take a gsize instead of a guint when talking about memory
12 * multifdsink, tcpclientsink, tcpclientsrc, tcpserversrc the protocol property
13 is removed, use gdppay and gdpdepay.
15 * Presets and plugins moved to $XDG_DATA_HOME/gstreamer-0.11/ root
16 directory. Registry moved to $XDG_CACHE_HOME/gstreamer-0.11/.
17 XDG_CACHE_HOME usually points to $HOME/.cache and XDG_DATA_HOME
18 usually is $HOME/.local/share/.
21 GST_OBJECT_DISPOSING flag removed
22 GST_OBJECT_IS_DISPOSING removed
23 GST_OBJECT_FLOATING flag remove, GstObject is now GInitiallyUnowned
24 GST_OBJECT_IS_FLOATING removed, use g_object_is_floating()
26 GST_CLASS_GET_LOCK, GST_CLASS_LOCK, GST_CLASS_TRYLOCK, GST_CLASS_UNLOCK,
27 used to be a workaround for thread-unsafe glib < 2.8
29 gst_object_ref_sink() has gpointer as result to make it more like the
32 gst_object_sink() removed, use gst_object_ref_sink() instead.
34 gst_class_signal_connect() removed, was only used for XML
36 parent-set and parent-unset signals removed. Use notify:parent. Currently
37 still disabled because of deep notify locking issues.
40 GstElementDetails is removed and replaced with more generic metadata.
42 gst_element_class_set_details_simple() -> gst_element_class_set_metadata()
43 gst_element_class_set_documentation_uri -> gst_element_class_add_metadata
44 gst_element_class_set_icon_name -> gst_element_class_add_metadata
45 also gst_element_class_get_metadata()
47 gst_element_factory_get_longname -> gst_element_factory_get_metadata
48 gst_element_factory_get_klass -> gst_element_factory_get_metadata
49 gst_element_factory_get_description -> gst_element_factory_get_metadata
50 gst_element_factory_get_author -> gst_element_factory_get_metadata
51 gst_element_factory_get_documentation_uri -> gst_element_factory_get_metadata
52 gst_element_factory_get_icon_name -> gst_element_factory_get_metadata
54 gstelementmetadata.h contains the keys for all standard metadata.
56 gst_element_factory_can_{src,sink}_caps() => gst_element_factory_can_{src,sink}_{any,all}_caps()
58 Element metadata and pad templates are inherited from parent classes and
59 should be added in class_init instead of base_init.
61 gst_element_class_add_pad_template() takes ownership of the template
63 Elements that change the duration must post DURATION messages on the
64 bus when the duration changes in PAUSED or PLAYING.
66 gst_element_lost_state_full() -> gst_element_lost_state()
67 gst_element_lost_state() -> gst_element_lost_state(, TRUE)
69 request_new_pad_full() -> request_new_pad()
71 gst_element_found_tags() and gst_element_found_tags_for_pad() are gone, just
75 gst_pad_get_caps() does not return writable caps anymore and an explicit
76 gst_caps_make_writable() needs to be performed. This was the functionality
77 of gst_pad_get_caps_reffed(), which is removed now.
79 A similar change was done for gst_pad_peer_get_caps() and
80 gst_pad_peer_get_caps_reffed()
82 gst_pad_set_bufferalloc_function(), gst_pad_alloc_buffer() and
83 gst_pad_alloc_buffer_and_set_caps() are removed. Use the ALLOCATION query
84 now when negotiating formats to obtain a reference to a bufferpool object
85 that can be used to allocate buffers using gst_buffer_pool_acquire_buffer().
87 removed sched_private, it should not be used, use g_object_set_qdata() or
90 Removed GST_PAD_CAPS() use gst_pad_get_current_caps() to get a handle to the
91 currently configured caps.
93 GstPadGetCapsFunction, gst_pad_get_caps(), gst_pad_peer_get_caps(),
94 gst_pad_proxy_getcaps() now takes a GstCaps* parameter to inform
95 the other side about the possible caps and preferences.
97 gst_pad_get_pad_template_caps() and gst_pad_get_pad_template()
98 return a new reference of the caps or template now and the return
99 value needs to be unreffed after usage.
101 gst_pad_set_caps() now pushes a CAPS event for backward compatibility.
102 Consider sending the CAPS event yourself. It is not possible anymore to set
105 gst_pad_set_checkgetrange_function() and gst_pad_check_pull_range() are
106 gone, use the SCHEDULING query now.
108 gst_pad_set_blocked(), gst_pad_set_blocked_async(),
109 gst_pad_set_blocked_async_full() are removed, use the gst_pad_add_probe()
110 method with the GST_PAD_PROBE_TYPE_BLOCK to get the same result as the async
111 blocking version. There is no more sync version of blocking, this is in
112 general dangerous and can be implemented using the callbacks if needed.
114 gst_pad_add_data_probe(), gst_pad_add_data_probe_full(),
115 gst_pad_remove_data_probe(), gst_pad_add_event_probe(),
116 gst_pad_add_event_probe_full(), gst_pad_remove_event_probe(),
117 gst_pad_add_buffer_probe(), gst_pad_add_buffer_probe_full(),
118 gst_pad_remove_buffer_probe() are removed. Use gst_pad_add_probe() and
119 gst_pad_remove_probe() for equivalent functionality.
121 The have-data signal was removed from pads, it was never supposed to be used
122 without calling the _add_.*_probe() methods.
124 The request-link signal was removed. It was never used.
126 gst_pad_get_negotiated_caps() -> get_pad_get_current_caps()
128 GST_FLOW_UNEXPECTED -> GST_FLOW_EOS
130 GstActivateMode -> GstPadActivateMode, GST_ACTIVATE_* -> GST_PAD_ACTIVATE_*
132 The GstPadAcceptCapsFunction was removed and replaced with a
133 GST_QUERY_ACCEPT_CAPS query.
135 The GstPadFixateCapsFunction was removed. It has no replacement, you can
136 simply do the fixation in the element or use a vmethod from the base class
140 gst_pad_template_get_caps() returns a new reference of the caps
141 and the return value needs to be unreffed after usage.
143 gst_pad_template_new() does not take ownership of the caps anymore.
145 GstPadTemplate is now created with a floating ref and
146 gst_element_class_add_pad_template() takes ownership of this floating ref.
148 GstPadTemplate instances are considered immutable and must not be
152 A miniobject is now a simple refcounted structure holding the information
153 common to buffers, events, messages, queries and caps.
155 There is no more GST_TYPE_MINIOBJECT as the type for subclasses.
156 G_TYPE_BOXED can be used as the type of all GstMiniObject based types such
157 as buffers, events, messages, caps, etc. Signals, for example, would use the
158 boxed type if the argument include GstMiniObject derived types.
160 gst_mini_object_new() is removed. You would allocate memory with the the
161 methods specific for the derived type.
163 GstParamSpecMiniObject is removed, use boxed param spec now with the GType
164 of the specific GstMiniObject derived type. Also
165 gst_param_spec_mini_object().
167 gst_param_spec_mini_object() -> g_param_spec_boxed()
169 The specific gst_value_*_mini_object() methods are removed, used the generic
170 boxed methods instead.
172 gst_value_set_mini_object() -> g_value_set_boxed()
173 gst_value_take_mini_object() -> g_value_take_boxed()
174 gst_value_take_get_object() -> g_value_get_boxed()
175 gst_value_take_dup_object() -> g_value_dup_boxed()
177 GST_VALUE_HOLDS_MINI_OBJECT() was removed, use G_VALUE_HOLDS_BOXED() or
178 type-specific GST_VALUE_HOLDS_{BUFFER,CAPS,etc.}() instead.
180 The GST_MINI_OBJECT_READONLY flag was removed as it used to mark the
181 memory in buffers as READONLY. Marking memory READONLY can now be done
182 with the GstMemory API. Writability of miniobjects is now only done by using
186 A GstBuffer is now a simple boxed type this means that subclassing is not
189 To add data to the buffer you would now use gst_buffer_take_memory() with
190 a GstMemory object containing the data. Multiple memory blocks can added to
191 a GstBuffer that can then be retrieved with gst_buffer_peek_memory().
193 GST_BUFFER_DATA(), GST_BUFFER_MALLOCDATA(), GST_BUFFER_FREE_FUNC() and
194 GST_BUFFER_SIZE() are gone, along with the fields in GstBuffer. Use the
195 memory API to get access to the buffer data. GST_BUFFER_SIZE() can be
196 replaced with gst_buffer_get_size() but if also access to the data is
197 required, gst_buffer_map() can return both the size and data in one go.
199 The most common way to access all the data in a buffer is by using
200 gst_buffer_map() and gst_buffer_unmap(). These calls require you to specify
201 the access mode required to the data and will automatically merge and return
202 a writable copy of the data.
204 The buffer must be writable (gst_buffer_is_writable()) in order to modify
205 the fields, metadata or buffer memory. gst_buffer_make_writable() will not
206 automatically make a writable copy of the memory but will instead increase
207 the refcount of the memory. The _map() and _peek_memory() methods will
208 automatically create writable copies when needed.
210 gst_buffer_make_metadata_writable() is gone, you can replace this safely
211 with gst_buffer_make_writable().
213 gst_buffer_copy_metadata() is gone, use gst_buffer_copy_into() instead and
214 mind use GST_BUFFER_COPY_METADATA instead of the former GST_BUFFER_COPY_ALL.
216 gst_buffer_create_sub() is gone and can be safely replaced with
217 gst_buffer_copy_region().
219 Changing the size of the buffer data can be done with gst_buffer_resize(),
220 which will also update the metadata fields correctly. gst_buffer_set_size()
221 is #defined to a special case of gst_buffer_resize() with a 0 offset.
223 gst_buffer_try_new_and_alloc() is replaced with gst_buffer_new_and_alloc(),
224 which now returns NULL when memory allocation fails.
226 GST_BUFFER_CAPS() is gone, caps are not set on buffers anymore but are set
227 on the pads where the buffer is pushed on. Likewise GST_BUFFER_COPY_CAPS is
228 not needed anymore. gst_buffer_get/set_caps() are gone too.
230 GST_BUFFER_TIMESTAMP is gone, use GST_BUFFER_PTS or GST_BUFFER_DTS instead.
231 Likewise GST_BUFFER_TIMESTAMP_IS_VALID() was changed to
232 GST_BUFFER_PTS_IS_VALID and GST_BUFFER_DTS_IS_VALID
235 The GstBufferList object is much simplified because most of the
236 functionality in the groups is now part of the GstMemory in buffers.
238 The object is reduced to encapsulating an array of buffers that you can send
239 with the regular gst_pad_push_list. The iterator is not needed anymore
240 because you can simply use gst_buffer_list_length() and gst_buffer_list_get()
241 to iterate the array.
243 For dealing with the groups, it's now needed to add the memory blocks to
244 GstBuffer and use the normal buffer API to get and merge the groups.
246 gst_buffer_list_sized_new() -> gst_buffer_list_new_sized()
247 gst_buffer_list_len() -> gst_buffer_list_length()
251 The GArray of the structure fields are moved to private part and are not
252 accessible from the application anymore. Use the methods to retrieve and
253 modify fields from the array.
255 gst_structure_empty_new() -> gst_structure_new_empty()
256 gst_structure_id_empty_new() -> gst_structure_new_id_empty()
257 gst_structure_id_new() -> gst_structure_new_id()
260 Boxed types derived from GstMiniObject.
262 GST_EVENT_SRC is removed. Don't use this anymore.
264 gst_event_new_qos_full() -> gst_event_new_qos()
265 gst_event_parse_qos_full() -> gst_event_parse_qos()
267 The GstStructure is removed from the public API, use the getters to get
268 a handle to a GstStructure.
270 GST_EVENT_NEWSEGMENT -> GST_EVENT_SEGMENT
272 gst_event_new_new_segment () -> gst_event_new_segment() and it takes a
273 GstSegment structure as an argument.
274 gst_event_parse_new_segment() -> gst_event_parse_segment() to retrieve the
275 GstSegment structure from the event.
276 gst_event_copy_segment() to fill a GstSegment structure.
279 Boxed types derived from GstMiniObject.
281 The GstStructure is removed from the public API, use the getters to get
282 a handle to a GstStructure.
284 gst_query_new_application() -> gst_query_new_custom()
286 gst_query_parse_formats_length() -> gst_query_parse_n_formats()
287 gst_query_parse_formats_nth() -> gst_query_parse_nth_format()
289 Some query utility functions no longer use an inout parameter for the
290 destination/query format:
292 - gst_pad_query_position()
293 - gst_pad_query_duration()
294 - gst_pad_query_convert()
295 - gst_pad_query_peer_position()
296 - gst_pad_query_peer_duration()
297 - gst_pad_query_peer_convert()
298 - gst_element_query_position()
299 - gst_element_query_duration()
300 - gst_element_query_convert()
302 gst_element_get_query_types() and gst_pad_get_query_types() with associated
303 functions were removed.
306 Is now a boxed type derived from GstMiniObject.
309 Is now a boxed type derived from GstMiniObject
311 The GstStructure is removed from the public API, use the getters to get
312 a handle to a GstStructure.
315 Is now a boxed type derived from GstMiniObject.
318 abs_rate was removed from the public fields, it can be trivially calculated
321 accum was renamed to base. last_stop was renamed to position.
323 The segment info now contains all the information needed to convert buffer
324 timestamps to running_time and stream_time. There is no more segment
325 accumulation, the GstSegment is completely self contained.
327 gst_segment_set_duration() and gst_segment_set_last_stop() are removed,
328 simply modify the structure members duration and position respectively.
330 gst_segment_set_newsegment() is removed, it was used to accumulate segments
331 and is not needed anymore, use gst_segment_copy_into() or modify the segment
334 gst_segment_set_seek() -> gst_segment_do_seek(). Updates the segment values
335 with seek parameters.
338 GST_PLUGIN_FEATURE_NAME() was removed, use GST_OBJECT_NAME() instead.
341 gst_type_find_peek() returns a const guint8 * now.
345 gst_task_create() -> gst_task_new()
348 gst_adapter_peek() is removed, use gst_adapter_map() and gst_adapter_unmap()
349 to get access to raw data from the adapter.
351 Arguments changed from guint to gsize.
353 gst_adapter_prev_timestamp() is removed and should be replaced with
354 gst_adapter_prev_pts() and gst_adapter_prev_dts().
356 * GstBitReader, GstByteReader, GstByteWriter
357 gst_*_reader_new_from_buffer(), gst_*_reader_init_from_buffer() removed, get
358 access to the buffer data with _map() and then use the _new() functions.
360 gst_byte_reader_new_from_buffer() and gst_byte_reader_init_from_buffer()
361 removed, get access to the buffer data and then use the _new() functions.
364 gst_collect_pads_read() removed, use _read_buffer() or _take_buffer() and
365 then use the memory API to get to the memory.
367 * GstBaseSrc, GstBaseTransform, GstBaseSink
368 GstBaseSrc::get_caps(), GstBaseTransform::transform_caps() and
369 GstBaseSink::get_caps() now take a filter GstCaps* parameter to
370 filter the caps and allow better negotiation decisions.
373 GstBaseTransform::transform_caps() now gets the complete caps passed
374 instead of getting it passed structure by structure.
376 GstBaseTransform::event() was renamed to sink_event(). The old function
377 uses the return value to determine if the event should be forwarded or not.
378 The new function has a default implementation that always forwards the event
379 and the return value is simply returned as a result from the event handler.
380 The semantics of the sink_event are thus the same as those for the src_event
383 * GstImplementsInterface
384 has been removed. Interfaces need to be updated to either have
385 is_ready/usable/available() methods, or have GError arguments
386 to their methods so we can return an appropriate error if a
387 particular interface isn't supported for a particular device.
390 uses a GValue based API now that is similar to the 0.10 API but
391 allows bindings to properly use GstIterator and prevents complex
392 return value ownership issues.
395 is now an opaque object instead of being typedefed to a GstStructure. Cast
396 to GstStructure or use gst_structure_* API on it at your own peril (it may
397 still work for now, but might be changed in future).
399 gst_tag_list_new() has been renamed to gst_tag_list_new_empty().
400 gst_tag_list_new_full*() have been renamed to gst_tag_list_new*().
