Features of this release
- * GLib requirement is now >= 2.22
- * New core element: valve (moved from -bad)
- * New core element: input-selector (N.B. without "select-all" property, use fsfunnel instead) (moved from -bad)
- * New core element: output-selector (with different negotiation behaviour by default, set pad-negotiation-mode=active for previous behaviour) (moved from -bad)
- * Performance improvements for many heavily-used code paths: GstPad, GstPoll, GstClock, GstTask, basesink, basesrc, queue2, multiqueue (use atomic ops make many code-paths
- * gobject-introspection: add annotations for most core API
- * clock: make sync clock wait lockfree
- * fdsrc/fdsink: reenable on MSVC
- * registry: fix GStatBuf definition for win32 when building against older glib (fixes unnecessary rescanning of plugins at start-up)
- * element: add a more flexible way to get request pads from elements
- * multiqueue: return upon input when already eos
- * object: fix creation of default name (when creating more than 100000 elements)
- * pluginloader: fix hangs on OSX
- * poll: fixes for (p)select backend (used e.g. on OSX)
- * poll: refactor and make more lockfree; fixes for win32 and OSX (pselect backend)
- * registry: don't replace valid existing plugins by blacklisted ones
- * tags: don't produce duplicated entries when merging same value twice
- * basesink: preroll fixes for async=false case
- * basesink: rework position reporting code
- * basetransform: handle downstream giving a buffer with new caps but invalid size
-
