	  cpuid: Add RISC-V Vector extension detection
	  Add gst_cpuid_supports_riscv_v() to detect RISC-V V extension at runtime
	  using getauxval(AT_HWCAP). This provides a GStreamer-level API for
	  RISC-V vector extension detection, similar to existing x86/ARM functions.

	* gst/gstpad.c:
	  pad: Implement sticky event resending on linking
	  When a pad is linked exactly in the middle of outputting sticky events,
	  we need to restart the sequence instead of sending an incomplete and
	  out-of-order set of events to the new pad peer.
	  This can only happen when linking an already running pad that was
	  trying to output sticky events while unlinked, such as when linking
	  a newly requested tee src pad to a peer.

	  The unioned field name is copied into a local GstIdStr but never
	  cleared. For field names longer than 15 chars the GstIdStr holds a heap
	  allocation, so it leaks (e.g. pixel-aspect-ratio). Regression from the

	* tests/check/gst/gsttracerrecord.c:
	  tracer: Reimplement GstTracerRecord on top of GstTraceFormat and deprecate it
	  gst_tracer_record_new() now builds a GstTraceFormat and
	  gst_tracer_record_log() collects its varargs and calls gst_trace_event(), so
	  there is a single serializer. gst_tracer_record_* are deprecated in favour of
	  the GstTraceFormat / gst_trace_event() API; the in-tree tracers and the record
	  test that still use them bracket the calls with
	  G_GNUC_BEGIN/END_IGNORE_DEPRECATIONS until they are ported.
	  To back the full GstTracerRecord type set, GstTraceFormat now accepts enum,
	  flags and structure fields.
	  Point events are delivered through the new "event" tracer hook instead of
	  being written to the debug log directly; the log tracer renders them to the
	  GST_TRACER category, so gst_tracer_record_log() output now requires the log
	  tracer to be active.

	  Add gst_trace_event() to log a point event as a GstStructure line on the
	  GST_TRACER category, the structured replacement for gst_tracer_record_log().
	  A point event is a single record with no duration, the counterpart to a
	  span's begin/end pair.
	  Move GstTracerValueScope/GstTracerValueFlags to gsttracer.h and add
	  gst_trace_field_set_scope()/set_flags() so a format carries the same
	  per-field metadata as GstTracerRecord. Optional fields are serialized with a

	  Existing tracer hooks fire at fixed structural points and the pre/post

	  expose their own intervals on the tracer stream.
	  Add `gst_tracing_custom_span_begin()` / `..._end()` and two new
	  `custom-span-begin` / `custom-span-end` hooks. Callers register a
	  `GstTraceSpanFormat` once and then bracket regions of interest, which
	  tracers can render as nested spans in frontends like Perfetto.
	  That is very useful when integrated in the `gstreamer_tracing`  rust crate
	  as we will be able to get element to report precisely new performance
	  informations.

	  In gst_value_unique_list_append_and_take_value, the append_value

	  be unset inside the method.
	  Tensor elements append one caps per model output into a unique list

	* libs/gst/base/gstaggregator.c:
	  aggregator: Unset flushing flag from pre_queue instead of task thread
	  There's a flush stop. It starts the srcpad task, but the srcpad task takes its
	  sweet time. srcpad task is also what sets flushing to false. In the meantime
	  there's a flush start. The flush start immediately sees that flushing is true,
	  goes "oh we're flushing already" and doesn't forward the event or stop the
	  srcpad task. srcpad task starts, takes the srcpad stream lock, and waits to be
	  woken up on another lock. srcpad task finally wakes up and tries taking the
	  srcpad stream lock, which the src task is sitting on.

	* gst/gstbufferpool.c:
	  bufferpool: avoid leaking partially preallocated buffers
	  Preallocate buffers into a temporary array in default_start() before handing

	  are still owned by the base class instead of leaving already released buffers
	  behind.
	  This avoids leaking buffers and corrupting cur_buffers when preallocation

	  gst_check_teardown_element() asserts that the refcount of the element
	  is 1 after its state has been set to NULL which stops all pad tasks.
	  However, after 1179387b9f, the pad task also holds a reference to the
	  element and the finalize hits after the task is stopped and releases
	  the task lock (sync) and before the task thread exits (async).
	  This made the assert flaky, because it would see 1 or 2 depending on
	  how slowly things are scheduled.

	  Since 1.28.0, gst_device_monitor_start() is not blocking any more, which
	  causes the list of devices returned by gst_device_monitor_get_devices()
	  to be incomplete. For example v4l2 provider would not fill udev
	  properties yet.
	  Solve this by blocking in gst_device_monitor_get_devices() for backward
	  compatibility. That way, applications that wish to not block can wait
	  for %GST_MESSAGE_DEVICE_MONITOR_STARTED before calling get_devices().

	  base: add a virtual method for the pool / allocator preparation
	  When basesrc receives a Reconfigure event, it first checks if Caps should be
	  re-negotiated, then adapts to possible allocator or buffer pool changes.
	  This is done by querying downstream for Allocation. The Allocation query is
	  serialized since it addresses changes which affect buffers. This also means
	  that the basesrc is unable to produce new buffers until it gets a reply and
	  the stream remains locked up to the element which decides to reply.
	  In some cases, the Allocation parameters only depend on the Caps and local
	  properties, in which case we could avoid sending the Allocation query downstream.
	  Some sub-classes might also just use the defaults whatever the Caps.
	  This commit adds a virtual method so basesrc implementers can decide how to deal
	  with pool & allocator parameters and whether they need to query downstream
	  elements.
	  This is also extended to GstAggregator & GstBaseTransform.

	  gstpreset: Add get_property() and get_property_alternatives() API
	  Add two new virtual methods to GstPresetInterface with default
	  implementations:
	  - gst_preset_get_property(): reads a property value from a preset and
	  returns it as a GValue. Supports an optional [alternative] suffix
	  in the property name (e.g. "bitrate[1920x1080]") which uses
	  GKeyFile's locale string mechanism to read alternative values.
	  - gst_preset_get_property_alternatives(): lists all alternative
	  suffixes defined for a property in a preset. For example, if a
	  preset contains "bitrate[1920x1080]=8000" and
	  "bitrate[3840x2160]=40000", this returns ["1920x1080", "3840x2160"].
	  These functions enable adaptive presets where property values can
	  vary based on context (e.g. video resolution), with the alternative
	  values stored directly in the .prs preset file using the existing
	  GKeyFile key[locale] syntax.
	  Also refactor gst_preset_default_load_preset() to reuse the new
	  gst_preset_get_property() for value deserialization.

	  g_return_val_if_fail check on adapter size, or via the scanning path),

	  Also fix gst_base_parse_frame_copy() which uses g_memdup2() to copy

	  When parsing tracer parameters from GST_TRACERS, values like

	  but the property may expect a different type (e.g. string). Previously
	  this would fail with a type mismatch error.

	  types before erroring out, so that e.g. an int value can be
	  automatically transformed to a string.

	  In gst_pad_get_range_unchecked(), the get_range_failed error handler
	  did not clean up res_buf when the getrange function returned an error.
	  If a getrange implementation allocates a buffer but then returns a

	  Add defensive cleanup matching the pattern already used in the
