-Development Notes and Random Wisdom
-
-* in libs like dparams, include the respective dparam headers with
-  #include "dparams.h"
-  instead of
-  #include <gst/libs/control/dparams.h>
-  because the latter will, if the include flags are set that way, first look
-  for the installed headers instead of the newest one, which is in your source
-  dir.
-
-* When doing releases, please follow the guidelines in docs
