+    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.
