* All deprecated methods were removed. Recompile against 0.10 with
DISABLE_DEPRECATED and fix issues before attempting to port to 0.11.
+* various methods take a gsize instead of a guint when talking about memory
+ sizes.
+
* multifdsink, tcpclientsink, tcpclientsrc, tcpserversrc the protocol property
is removed, use gdppay and gdpdepay.
gst_value_take_get_object() -> g_value_get_boxed()
gst_value_take_dup_object() -> g_value_dup_boxed()
+ The GST_MINI_OBJECT_READONLY flag was removed as it used to mark the
+ memory in buffers as READONLY. Marking memory READONLY can now be done
+ with the GstMemory API. Writability of miniobjects is now only done by using
+ the refcount.
+
* GstBuffer
A GstBuffer is now a simple boxed type this means that subclassing is not
- possible anymore. To add more data to the buffer, you have to use the
- metadata feature of buffers.
+ possible anymore.
+
+ To add data to the buffer you would now use gst_buffer_take_memory() with
+ a GstMemory object containing the data. Multiple memory blocks can added to
+ a GstBuffer that can then be retrieved with gst_buffer_peek_memory().
+
+ GST_BUFFER_DATA(), GST_BUFFER_MALLOCDATA(), GST_BUFFER_FREE_FUNC() and
+ GST_BUFFER_SIZE() are gone, along with the fields in GstBuffer. Use the
+ memory API to get access to the buffer data. GST_BUFFER_SIZE() can be
+ replaced with gst_buffer_get_size() but if also access to the data is
+ required, gst_buffer_map() can return both the size and data in one go.
+
+ The most common way to access all the data in a buffer is by using
+ gst_buffer_map() and gst_buffer_unmap(). These calls require you to specify
+ the access mode required to the data and will automatically merge and return
+ a writable copy of the data.
+
+ The buffer must be writable (gst_buffer_is_writable()) in order to modify
+ the fields, metadata or buffer memory. gst_buffer_make_writable() will not
+ automatically make a writable copy of the memory but will instead increase
+ the refcount of the memory. The _map() and _peek_memory() methods will
+ automatically create writable copies when needed.
+
+ gst_buffer_make_metadata_writable() is gone, you can replace this safely
+ with gst_buffer_make_writable().
+
+ gst_buffer_create_sub() is gone and can be safely replaced with
+ gst_buffer_copy_region().
+
+ Changing the size of the buffer data can be done with gst_buffer_resize(),
+ which will also update the metadata fields correctly. gst_buffer_set_size()
+ is #defined to a special case of gst_buffer_resize() with a 0 offset.
+
+ gst_buffer_try_new_and_alloc() is replaced with gst_buffer_new_and_alloc(),
+ which now returns NULL when memory allocation fails.
* GstEvent
* GstQuery
* GstCaps
Is now a boxed type derived from GstMiniObject.
+* GstTypeFind
+ gst_type_find_peek() returns a const guin8 * now.
+
+* GstAdapter
+ gst_adapter_peek() is removed, use gst_adapter_map() and gst_adapter_unmap()
+ to get access to raw data from the adapter.
+
+ Arguments renamed from guint to gsize.
+
+* GstBitReader, GstByteReader, GstByteWriter
+ gst_*_reader_new_from_buffer(), gst_*_reader_init_from_buffer() removed, get
+ access to the buffer data with _map() and then use the _new() functions.
+
+ gst_byte_reader_new_from_buffer() and gst_byte_reader_init_from_buffer()
+ removed, get access to the buffer data and then use the _new() functions.
+
+* GstCollectPads
+ gst_collect_pads_read() removed, use _read_buffer() or _take_buffer() and
+ then use the memory API to get to the memory.
