-2007-09-21  Sebastian Dröge  <slomo@circular-chaos.org>
-
-	* m4/gst-args.m4:
-	  Let the AG_GST_ARG_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL macro default to disable
-	  building of experimental plugins. Nobody uses it yet and the
-	  --enable--experimental stuff from gst-plugins-good defaults to
-	  disable too.
-
-2007-09-06  Tim-Philipp Müller  <tim at centricular dot net>
-
-	* gtk-doc-plugins.mak:
-	  Just use the normal 'check' target and avoid a circular
-	  dependency.
-
-2007-09-06  Tim-Philipp Müller  <tim at centricular dot net>
-
-	* gtk-doc-plugins.mak:
-	  Add rule to error out if .hierarchy file contains tabs.
-
-2007-08-20  Tim-Philipp Müller  <tim at centricular dot net>
-
-	* download-translations:
-	* po.mak:
-	  If there are new languages, they need to be added to po/LINGUAS.
-
-2007-08-20  Tim-Philipp Müller  <tim at centricular dot net>
-
-	* download-translations:
-	* po.mak:
-	  Fix up 'download-po' a bit, so that we find new translations
-	  for languages that aren't in our po/LINGUAS file yet too.
-
-2007-07-16  Jan Schmidt  <thaytan@mad.scientist.com>
-
-	* gst.supp:
-	Add a suppression for GLib caching the tmp dir seen on an
-	Ubuntu Feisty system.
-
-2007-07-13  Jan Schmidt  <thaytan@mad.scientist.com>
-
-	* m4/gst-feature.m4:
-	If we want to use 'echo -e', call /bin/echo instead of the shell's
-	since -e is a bash extension, and our /bin/sh might not be being
-	provided by bash.
-
-2007-07-01  Thomas Vander Stichele  <thomas at apestaart dot org>
-
-	* po.mak:
-	  Translation project has moved.  Also, no idea how this used to
-	  work given that we weren't downloading a .po file.
-
-2007-06-25  Stefan Kost  <ensonic@users.sf.net>
-
-	* gst-xmlinspect.py:
-	* plugins.xsl:
-	  Also extract element caps for plugin-docs. Fixes parts of #117692.
-
-2007-06-21  Tim-Philipp Müller  <tim at centricular dot net>
-
-	Patch by: Andreas Schwab
-
-	* m4/gst-feature.m4:
-	  Fix quoting (#449493).
-
-2007-06-10  Sebastian Dröge  <slomo@circular-chaos.org>
-
-	* m4/gst-parser.m4:
-	Only generate the parser if bison >= 1.875 _and_ flex >= 2.5.31 is
-	installed and use pre-generated sources otherwise. Fixes bug #444820.
-
-2007-05-11  Michael Smith <msmith@fluendo.com>
-
-	* gst.supp:
-	  Suppression variant for our good friend the TLS leak, this time for
-	  Ubuntu Feisty/x86.
-
-2007-05-09  Tim-Philipp Müller  <tim at centricular dot net>
-
-	* gtk-doc-plugins.mak:
-	  Fix make distcheck again; change some spaces to tabs in makefile.
-
-2007-04-29  Thomas Vander Stichele  <thomas at apestaart dot org>
-
-	* gtk-doc-plugins.mak (-module):
-	  Error out when the html build step gives warnings, so they get
-	  fixed properly.
-
-2007-04-23  Stefan Kost  <ensonic@users.sf.net>
-
-	* m4/gst-feature.m4:
-	  Add macro AG_GST_PARSE_SUBSYSTEM_DISABLES that checks the defines in
-	  the configuration header and AC_DEFINES the setings.
-
-2007-04-19  Sebastian Dröge  <slomo@circular-chaos.org>
-
-	Patch by: Vincent Torri <vtorri at univ-evry dot fr>
-
-	* m4/gst-parser.m4:
-	Put the AC_MSG_RESULT output in brackets to get it properly written to
-	the terminal.
-
-2007-04-18  Sebastian Dröge  <slomo@circular-chaos.org>
-
-	* m4/gst-parser.m4:
-	Check for flex >= 2.5.31 and set GENERATE_PARSER if we have at least
-	that version. Otherwise use pre-generated parser sources as we can't
-	raise the required flex version. HAVE_MT_SAVE_FLEX is obsolete now
-	as we use a new enough flex version anyway. First part of #349180
-
-2007-04-10  Thomas Vander Stichele  <thomas at apestaart dot org>
-
-	* m4/gst-check.m4:
-	  Allow pre-setting the GST(PB)_TOOLS/PLUGINS_DIR variables to help
-	  builds against older GStreamer.
-
-2007-03-25  Sebastian Dröge  <slomo@circular-chaos.org>
-
-	* m4/gst-parser.m4:
-	Fix the flex version check. It ignored the micro version before.
-
-2007-03-09  Jan Schmidt  <thaytan@mad.scientist.com>
-
-	* check.mak:
-	Use the same timeout when generating valgrind suppressions as 
-	running the valgrind test.
-
-	* gst.supp:
-	Add some more suppressions and stuff.
-
-2007-03-08  Jan Schmidt  <thaytan@mad.scientist.com>
-
-	* check.mak:
-	Make sure GSlice is disabled when building suppressions too.
-
-	* gst.supp:
-	Add around *850* lines of suppressions for one-time initialisations
-	inside libasound and gconf/bonobo/ORBit. I feel so dirty.
-
-2007-03-07  Jan Schmidt  <thaytan@mad.scientist.com>
-
-	* gst.supp:
-	add a suppression for this GConf flup on the FC5 buildbot.
-
-2007-03-06  Jan Schmidt  <thaytan@mad.scientist.com>
-
-	* gst.supp:
-	Make the suppression a little more generic, to catch the FC5 
-	backtrace too.
-
-2007-03-06  Jan Schmidt  <thaytan@mad.scientist.com>
-
-	* gst.supp:
-	Add a suppression for libcdio 0.76. It leaks an internal struct
-	when the CD-ROM device is not accessible.
-
-2007-02-28  Thomas Vander Stichele  <thomas at apestaart dot org>
-
-	* m4/gst-arch.m4:
-	  Move a line that was in the wrong macro
-
-2007-02-28  Thomas Vander Stichele  <thomas at apestaart dot org>
-
-	* m4/gst.m4:
-	  Add

-	* m4/gst-args.m4:
-	* m4/gst-check.m4:
-	* m4/gst-debuginfo.m4:

-	* m4/gst-parser.m4:
-	* m4/gst-plugin-docs.m4:
-	* m4/gst-plugindir.m4:
-	* m4/gst-valgrind.m4:
-	* m4/gst-x11.m4:
-	  Convert all macros to use AG_GST style so we can properly warn
-	  when they're missing if configure.ac calls AG_GST_INIT
-	  Will require update in all GStreamer modules.
-
-2007-02-11  Stefan Kost  <ensonic@users.sf.net>
-
-	* m4/gst-args.m4:
-	  Remove 'enable' from configure switch description as this leads to 
-	  confusing lines like "disable enable builing ...".
-	* m4/gst-feature.m4:
-	  Fix comment to sound less horrible.
-
-2007-02-07  Tim-Philipp Müller  <tim at centricular dot net>
-
-	Patch by: Will Newton  <will.newton gmail com>
-
-	* m4/gst-check.m4:
-	  Use $PKG_CONFIG rather than pkg-config directly, the one in our path
-	  might not be the one we want, like when cross-compiling. Also, other
-	  macros such as PKG_CHECK_MODULES use $PKG_CONFIG, so we should
-	  probably too just for consistency. Fixes #405288.
-
-2007-01-08  Tim-Philipp Müller  <tim at centricular dot net>
-
-	* m4/gst-parser.m4:
-	  Need to use double square brackets again so m4 doesn't remove them
-	  (fixes #378931).
-
-	* m4/gst-args.m4:
-	  Use double square brackets here as well, for the same reason.
-
-2007-01-05  Tim-Philipp Müller  <tim at centricular dot net>
-
-	* m4/gst-parser.m4:
-	  Use 'sed' rather than 'tr' to strip trailing letters from version
-	  numbers, since 'tr' might not be available and we know sed is
-	  (#378931).
-
-2006-10-21  Tim-Philipp Müller  <tim at centricular dot net>
-
-	* check.mak:
-	  Increase default timeout under valgrind, 60 is just too short and
-	  some tests take a bit longer these days and not everyone has a
-	  beefy machine.
-
-2006-09-29  Michael Smith  <msmith@fluendo.com>
-
-	* gst.supp:
-	  More suppressions for edgy. 
-
-2006-09-28  Jan Schmidt  <thaytan@mad.scientist.com>
-
-	* m4/gst-glib2.m4:
-	Use gmodule-no-export-2.0.pc instead of gmodule-2.0.pc - we neither
-	want nor need --export-dynamic (which ends up making us export a bunch
-	of unneeded symbols)
-
-2006-09-14  Tim-Philipp Müller  <tim at centricular dot net>
-
-	* gst.supp:
-	  Some suppressions for the more recent ld.so in ubuntu edgy.
-
-2006-08-23  Tim-Philipp Müller  <tim at centricular dot net>
-
-	* gst.supp:
-	  Shorten function trail so the suppression works on
-	  my ubuntu dapper system with core cvs as well.
-
-2006-07-28  Jan Schmidt  <thaytan@mad.scientist.com>
-
-	* gst.supp:
-	Extra suppressions from my Ubuntu x86_64 machine
-
-2006-07-24  Tim-Philipp Müller  <tim at centricular dot net>
-
-	Patch by: Frederic Peters <fpeters at entrouvert com>
-
-	* m4/gst-parser.m4:
-	  Need to double square brackets in .m4 files. Should fix bison
-	  version detection with version numbers like 1.23a (#348354).
-
-2006-07-24  Jan Schmidt  <thaytan@mad.scientist.com>
-
-	* check.mak:
-	Valgrind fails to find tests written in tests/check/ directly (rather
-	than a subdir) - because valgrind gets run with a filename that
-	doesn't contain a relative path, it goes searching /usr/bin instead.
-	Run with ./.... to make things work either way.
-
-	* gtk-doc-plugins.mak:
-	Add $(top_builddir)/src as a place to look for plugins
-	when building too, since that's where gst-template keeps things
-
-2006-07-23  Stefan Kost  <ensonic@users.sf.net>
-
-	Patch by: Frederic Peters <fpeters@entrouvert.com>
-
-	* m4/gst-parser.m4:
-	  Fix bison detection (#348354)
-
-2006-07-21  Stefan Kost  <ensonic@users.sf.net>
-
-	* m4/gst-parser.m4:
-	  check for bison and flex
-
-2006-07-13  Thomas Vander Stichele  <thomas at apestaart dot org>
-
-	* m4/gst-plugin-docs.m4:
-	  remove the configure argument for enabling plugin doc build;
-	  having gtk-doc enabled and pyxml present is enough of a trigger
-
-2006-07-03  Thomas Vander Stichele  <thomas at apestaart dot org>
-
-	* coverage/lcov.mak:
-	  fix up rules to work with gst-python as well
-	  run "make lcov" to test and generate the reports
-	  run "make lcov-reset" to redo it after that
-
-2006-07-02  Thomas Vander Stichele  <thomas at apestaart dot org>
-
-	* Makefile.am:
-	* check.mak:
-	  add an inspect target that inspects every element feature,
-	  so we can have that added for coverage
-	* coverage/lcov.mak:
-	  add support for lcov
-
-2006-07-02  Thomas Vander Stichele  <thomas at apestaart dot org>
-
-	* m4/gst-args.m4:
-	  when building with gcov, reset CFLAGS and friends to O0
-
-2006-07-02  Thomas Vander Stichele  <thomas at apestaart dot org>
-
-	* m4/gst-args.m4:
-	  Find the gcov that matches the gcc version
-	  Only allow gcov if we use gcc
-
-2006-07-02  Thomas Vander Stichele  <thomas at apestaart dot org>
-
-	* Makefile.am:
-	* coverage/coverage-report-entry.pl:
-	* coverage/coverage-report.pl:
-	* coverage/coverage-report.xsl:
-	  copy coverage reporting files from dbus
-
-2006-07-01  Thomas Vander Stichele  <thomas at apestaart dot org>
-
-	* m4/gst-args.m4:
-	  libtool strips gcov's -f flags, so libgcov does not get
-	  linked in.  Setting GCOV_LIBS with -lgcov fixes libtool's
-	  stripping
-	  also show what pkg-config-path we set
-
-2006-06-22  Tim-Philipp Müller  <tim at centricular dot net>
-
-	Patch by: Peter Kjellerstedt <pkj at axis com>
-
-	* m4/gst-feature.m4:
-	  Show list of plugins without external dependencies that
-	  will not be built as well (#344136).
-
-2006-06-15  Tim-Philipp Müller  <tim at centricular dot net>
-
-	* m4/gst-plugin-docs.m4:
-	  add GST_PLUGIN_DOCS, which checks for everything needed
-	  to build the plugin docs (namely gtk-doc and pyxml); also
-	  adds a new --enable-plugin-docs configure switch; will
-	  set ENABLE_PLUGIN_DOCS conditional for use in Makefile.am
-	  files (see #344039).
-
-2006-06-11  Thomas Vander Stichele  <thomas at apestaart dot org>
-
-	* m4/gst-check.m4:
-	  add GST_PKG_CHECK_MODULES, which in the normal case of checking
-	  for a dependency lib for a plug-in only needs two arguments
-	  to do the right thing.
-	* m4/gst-feature.m4:
-	  clean up output a little of feature checking; also deal with
-	  non-plug-in feature checks
-	* m4/Makefile.am:
-	* m4/gst-gstreamer.m4:
-	  remove this file; it's a useless check
-
-2006-06-06  Thomas Vander Stichele  <thomas at apestaart dot org>
-
-	* m4/gst-arch.m4:
-	  add PPC64 so we can have separate structure sizes for it
-
-2006-06-05  Edward Hervey  <edward@fluendo.com>
-
-	* gtk-doc.mak:
-	Check for the proper .devhelp2 file to remove.
-
-2006-05-31  Thomas Vander Stichele  <thomas at apestaart dot org>

-	Reverting previous commit.  That's good to know, Edward, but why ?
-

-	Added suppresion for memleak in g_option_context_parse on fc5-64
-
-2006-05-19  Thomas Vander Stichele  <thomas at apestaart dot org>
-
-	* m4/gst-check.m4:
-	  set GSTPB_PLUGINS_DIR just like GST_PLUGINS_DIR
-
-2006-05-18  Tim-Philipp Müller  <tim at centricular dot net>
-
-	* check.mak:
-	  Fix 'make help' in check directories, it should be
-	  'valgrind.gen-suppressions' not 'valgrind-gen-suppressions'
-	  (not changing target to match help string on purpose to keep
-	  scripts etc. functional).
-
-2006-05-18  Thomas Vander Stichele  <thomas at apestaart dot org>
-
-	Patch by: Peter Kjellerstedt
-
-	* m4/gst-arch.m4:

-
-2006-04-04  Michael Smith <msmith@fluendo.com>

-	ifelse statement seems incorrect as it is always setting

-	build of gst-plugins-base on my setup where gstreamer-check
-	is definitely not present/required.

-
-2005-09-14  David Schleef  <ds@schleef.org>
-
-	* as-libtool.mak: Remove
-	* m4/as-libtool.m4: The libtool bug that this worked around has
-	  been fixed.
-	* m4/as-version.m4: Don't define GST_RELEASE, since it causes
-	  config.h to be regenerated needlessly, and we don't use it.
-
-2005-09-14  Thomas Vander Stichele  <thomas at apestaart dot org>
-
-	* gtk-doc-plugins.mak:
-	  error out on inspect failure

-
-2005-09-03  Thomas Vander Stichele  <thomas at apestaart dot org>
-
-	* gtk-doc-plugins.mak:
-	* gtk-doc.mak:

-	  separate out gtk-doc and docbook stuff
-	  have two separate --enable configure flags
-
-2005-08-26  Thomas Vander Stichele  <thomas at apestaart dot org>
-
-	* check.mak:
-	  add a .gdb target; rebuild registry for each target, otherwise
-	  a code rebuild always triggers a reg rebuild, and it's just too
-	  annoying
-	* gstdoc-scangobj:
-
-2005-08-21  Thomas Vander Stichele  <thomas at apestaart dot org>
-
-	* check.mak:
-	  separate out REGISTRY_ENVIRONMENT; we want to use that from
-	  our valgrind runs, but we also want TESTS_ENVIRONMENT to contain
-	  everything that the first test, gst-register, needs
-
-2005-08-21  Thomas Vander Stichele  <thomas at apestaart dot org>
-
-	* check.mak:
-	  parse output of valgrind and check for definitely lost, and error
-	  out; somehow I was led to believe valgrind returns non-zero for
-	  leaks, but I can't make it do that, so let's parse
-
-2005-08-20  Thomas Vander Stichele  <thomas at apestaart dot org>
-
-	* check.mak:
-	  for some weird reason valgrind does not report actual memleaks
-	  if GST_PLUGIN_PATH is set to anything but the core gstreamer dir
-	  while valgrind is running.  Since the registry is going to go
-	  anyway, I don't want to waste any more time on this; I just run
-	  valgrind without GST_PLUGIN_PATH set.  Since the registry loading
-	  doesn't check if GST_PLUGIN_PATH got changed as a reason to rebuild
-	  the registry, that's actually fine.
-
-2005-08-15  Thomas Vander Stichele  <thomas at apestaart dot org>
-
-	* mangle-tmpl.py:
-	  keep original Long_Description; only insert an include if it's

-	  output more information for plugins, including an origin hyperlink
-
-2005-08-15  Thomas Vander Stichele  <thomas at apestaart dot org>
-
-	* gst-xmlinspect.py:
-	  a first stab at inspecting plugins and outputting an xml description
-	* gtk-doc-plugins.mak:
-	  a gtk-doc using snippet for plugins documentation
-	* plugins.xsl:
-	  a stylesheet to convert gst-xmlinspect.py output to docbook output
-	  for inclusion in the gtk-doc stuff
-
-2005-07-20  Ronald S. Bultje  <rbultje@ronald.bitfreak.net>
-
-	* m4/gst-doc.m4:
-	  s/pdf/eps/ in test for whether we output EPS images (#309379).
-
-2005-07-18  Andy Wingo  <wingo@pobox.com>
-
-	* m4/as-libtool-tags.m4: Ooh, backported from libtool 1.6. Much

-	  to prevent confusing any shell process that might be reading it
-	  currently.
-
-2005-06-29  Thomas Vander Stichele  <thomas at apestaart dot org>

-# AS_PATH_PYTHON([MINIMUM-VERSION])
-
-# Adds support for distributing Python modules and packages.  To
-# install modules, copy them to $(pythondir), using the python_PYTHON
-# automake variable.  To install a package with the same name as the
-# automake package, install to $(pkgpythondir), or use the
-# pkgpython_PYTHON automake variable.
-
-# The variables $(pyexecdir) and $(pkgpyexecdir) are provided as
-# locations to install python extension modules (shared libraries).
-# Another macro is required to find the appropriate flags to compile
-# extension modules.
-
-# If your package is configured with a different prefix to python,
-# users will have to add the install directory to the PYTHONPATH
-# environment variable, or create a .pth file (see the python
-# documentation for details).
-
-# If the MINIMUM-VERSION argument is passed, AS_PATH_PYTHON will
-# cause an error if the version of python installed on the system
-# doesn't meet the requirement.  MINIMUM-VERSION should consist of
-# numbers and dots only.

-dnl @synopsis AX_CREATE_STDINT_H [( HEADER-TO-GENERATE [, HEDERS-TO-CHECK])]
-dnl
-dnl the "ISO C9X: 7.18 Integer types <stdint.h>" section requires the
-dnl existence of an include file <stdint.h> that defines a set of 
-dnl typedefs, especially uint8_t,int32_t,uintptr_t.
-dnl Many older installations will not provide this file, but some will
-dnl have the very same definitions in <inttypes.h>. In other enviroments
-dnl we can use the inet-types in <sys/types.h> which would define the
-dnl typedefs int8_t and u_int8_t respectivly.
-dnl
-dnl This macros will create a local "_stdint.h" or the headerfile given as 
-dnl an argument. In many cases that file will just "#include <stdint.h>" 
-dnl or "#include <inttypes.h>", while in other environments it will provide 
-dnl the set of basic 'stdint's definitions/typedefs: 
-dnl   int8_t,uint8_t,int16_t,uint16_t,int32_t,uint32_t,intptr_t,uintptr_t
-dnl   int_least32_t.. int_fast32_t.. intmax_t
-dnl which may or may not rely on the definitions of other files,
-dnl or using the AC_CHECK_SIZEOF macro to determine the actual
-dnl sizeof each type.
-dnl
-dnl if your header files require the stdint-types you will want to create an
-dnl installable file mylib-int.h that all your other installable header
-dnl may include. So if you have a library package named "mylib", just use
-dnl      AX_CREATE_STDINT_H(mylib-int.h) 
-dnl in configure.ac and go to install that very header file in Makefile.am
-dnl along with the other headers (mylib.h) - and the mylib-specific headers
-dnl can simply use "#include <mylib-int.h>" to obtain the stdint-types.
-dnl
-dnl Remember, if the system already had a valid <stdint.h>, the generated
-dnl file will include it directly. No need for fuzzy HAVE_STDINT_H things...

-dnl
-dnl This macro adds a command line argument to allow the user to enable
-dnl or disable a feature, and if the feature is enabled, performs a supplied
-dnl test to check if the feature is available.
-dnl
-dnl The test should define HAVE_<FEATURE-NAME> to "yes" or "no" depending
-dnl on whether the feature is available.
-dnl
-dnl The macro will set USE_<FEATURE-NAME> to "yes" or "no" depending on
-dnl whether the feature is to be used.
-dnl Thomas changed this, so that when USE_<FEATURE-NAME> was already set
-dnl to no, then it stays that way.
-dnl
-dnl The macro will call AM_CONDITIONAL(USE_<<FEATURE-NAME>, ...) to allow
-dnl the feature to control what is built in Makefile.ams.  If you want
-dnl additional actions resulting from the test, you can add them with the
-dnl ACTION-IF-USE and ACTION-IF-NOTUSE parameters.
-dnl
-dnl FEATURE-NAME        is the name of the feature, and should be in
-dnl                     purely upper case characters.
-dnl FEATURE-DESCRIPTION is used to describe the feature in help text for
-dnl                     the command line argument.
-dnl DEPENDENT-PLUGINS   lists any plug-ins which depend on this feature.
-dnl TEST-FOR-FEATURE    is a test which sets HAVE_<FEATURE-NAME> to "yes"
-dnl                     or "no" depending on whether the feature is
-dnl                     available.
-dnl DISABLE-BY-DEFAULT  if "disabled", the feature is disabled by default,
-dnl                     if any other value, the feature is enabled by default.
-dnl ACTION-IF-USE       any extra actions to perform if the feature is to be
-dnl                     used.
