RELEASE: GStreamer Core and Plugins 1.0.4

[Tim-Philipp Müller <t i m zen co uk>]

The GStreamer project announces another bug-fix release for the new
API and ABI-stable 1.x series of the GStreamer multimedia framework.

The 1.x series is a stable series targeted at end users. It is not API
or ABI compatible with the 0.10.x series. It can, however, be installed
in parallel with the 0.10.x series and will not affect an existing
0.10.x installation.

Changes since 1.0.3:

  * basesrc: fix potential leaks when re-activating in a different mode
  * bindings: make all pad probe types work with bindings
  * bindings: fix gst_event_parse_stream_start() annotation, fixing crash
  * bindings: fix annotation for gst_app_src_push_buffer(), fixing crash
  * bindings: add several missing annotations for GstRtspMessage API
  * documentation improvements
  * playbin: fix occasional not-negotiated errors when switching visualisations
  * ssaparse: ignore invalid UTF-8 in SSA/ASS subtitles init sections in matroska files
  * streamsynchronizer: better timestamp and gap handling at EOS, fixing potential OOM in baseaudiosink
  * deinterleave: properly set srcpad channel position
  * osxvideosink: Fix resizing the Cocoa window on receiving new caps
  * rtspsrc fixes
  * shout2send: also accept audio/webm in addition to video/webm
  * videobox: fix border filling for planar YUV formats
  * webmmux: fix linking to shout2send
  * v4l2: fix build on FreeBSD
  * siddec: initialize debug category
  * mpeg4videoparse: also parse divx 4/5
  * mpeg4videoparse: export number of sprite warping points in caps (decoders might have no or only limited GMC support)
  * mpegtsmux: propagate flow returns upstream; don't crash when reused
  * rtmpsrc: disable seeking if the configured url specifies live=true
  * build fixes for OS/X (shm) and Windows (d3dvideosink)
  * libav G.726 decoder fixes
