+	* validate/gst/validate/gst-validate-scenario.c:
+	* validate/gst/validate/gst-validate-scenario.h:
+	  gst-validate-scenario: Make waits optional in appsrc-push
+	  While in many cases it's desirable to wait for a buffer to be pushed
+	  downstream when using appsrc-push, in some cases this is not possible as
+	  such pushing action is dependent on following actions that would not be
+	  executed if we wait.
+	  An example for this is prerolling:
+	  appsrc ! qtdemux ! video/x-h264 ! decodebin name=dec ! %(videosink)s
+	  description, seek=false, handles-states=true
+	  appsrc-push, target-element-name=appsrc0, file-name="raw_h264.0.mp4"
+	  set-state, state=playing
+	  appsrc-eos, target-element-name=appsrc0
+	  In order for the preroll to occur, both the appsrc needs to push the
+	  buffer and the state needs to reach PLAYING. But `set-state` cannot
+	  finish if the buffer has not been pushed (the state transition does not
+	  finish) and conversely pushing the buffer will not finish until the
+	  state has reached.
+	  Making appsrc-push not wait for the buffer solves this problem. This
+	  patch makes appsrc-push aware of this issue by only waiting for the
+	  buffer to be pushed if the pipeline is in a state that allows buffers to
+	  flow.

+
+	* validate/gst/validate/gst-validate-scenario.c:
+	  gst-validate-scenario: Fix (another) race condition in EOS handling
+	  Since gst_validate_action_set_done() is asynchronous, the bus EOS
+	  handler may already be running before the action is actually finished.
+	  This patch ensures that is not a problem.

+	  validate: allow config to check for minimum buffer frequency on pads
+	  This change allow tests to check performance of elements by checking the
+	  frequency at which buffers are pushed on src pads.
+	  I re-used most of the logic from fpsdisplaysink to compute the
+	  frequency.
+	  We can now uses something like:
+	  GST_VALIDATE_CONFIG='core,min-buffer-frequency=60,target-element-factory-name=v4l2src'
+	  The 'buffer-frequency-start' optional field can be used to ignore the
+	  frequency during the start of the pipeline. This is useful when testing live
+	  pipelines where configuring and setting up elements can take some time slowing
+	  down the first buffers.

+	  while the action, executing in the streaming thread, has not finished
+	  yet.
+	  A mutex is now introduced to add mutual exclusion for the two threads so
+	  that an EOS does not cause the termination of the test while the action
+	  is still going.

+Cerbero
+
+Cerbero is a meta build system used to build GStreamer plus dependencies
+on platforms where dependencies are not readily available, such as
+Windows, Android, iOS and macOS.
+
+Cerbero has seen a number of improvements:
+
+-   Cerbero has been ported to Python 3 and requires Python 3.5 or newer
+    now
+
+-   Source tarballs are now protected by checksums in the recipes to
+    guard against download errors and malicious takeover of projects or
+    websites. In addition, downloads are only allowed via secure
+    transports now and plain HTTP, FTP and git:// transports are not
+    allowed anymore.
+
+-   There is now a new fetch-bootstrap command which downloads sources
+    required for bootstrapping, with an optional --build-tools-only
+    argument to match the bootstrap --build-tools-only command.
+
+-   The bootstrap, build, package and bundle-source commands gained a
+    new --offline switch that ensures that only sources from the cache
+    are used and never downloaded via the network. This is useful in
+    combination with the fetch and fetch-bootstrap commands that acquire
+    sources ahead of time before any build steps are executed. This
+    allows more control over the sources used and when sources are
+    updated, and is particularly useful for build environments that
+    don’t have network access.
+
+-   bootstrap --assume-yes will automatically say ‘yes’ to any
+    interactive prompts during the bootstrap stage, such as those from
+    apt-get or yum.
+
+-   bootstrap --system-only will only bootstrap the system without build
+    tools.
+
+-   Manifest support: The build manifest can be used in continuous
+    integration (CI) systems to fixate the Git revision of certain
+    projects so that all builds of a pipeline are on the same reference.
+    This is used in GStreamer’s gitlab CI for example. It can also be
+    used in order to re-produce a specific build. To set a manifest, you
+    can set manifest = 'my_manifest.xml' in your configuration file, or
+    use the --manifest command line option. The command line option will
+    take precendence over anything specific in the configuration file.
+
+-   The new build-deps command can be used to build only the
+    dependencies of a recipe, without the recipe itself.
+
+-   new --list-variants command to list available variants
+
+-   variants can now be set on the command line via the -v option as a
+    comma-separated list. This overrides any variants set in any
+    configuration files.
+
+-   new qt5, intelmsdk and nvidia variants for enabling Qt5 and hardware
+    codec support. See the Enabling Optional Features with Variants
+    section in the Cerbero documentation for more details how to enable
+    and use these variants.
+
+-   A new -t / --timestamp command line switch makes commands print
+    timestamps
+
 
 Platform-specific changes and improvements
 
 Android
 
+-   toolchain: update compiler to clang and NDKr18. NDK r18 removed the
+    armv5 target and only has Android platforms that target at least
+    armv7 so the armv5 target is not useful anymore.
