	* libs/gst/base/gstbaseparse.c:
	  baseparse: Fix out_buffer leak in frame_free and missing ref in frame_copy
	  gst_base_parse_frame_free() only unrefs frame->buffer but not
	  frame->out_buffer. If finish_frame() exits early (e.g. due to a
	  g_return_val_if_fail check on adapter size, or via the scanning path),
	  out_buffer is left non-NULL and leaked when frame_free() zeroes the
	  frame struct via memset without unreffing it.
	  This can be triggered via h264parse (and other video parsers) in the
	  packetized path: gst_h264_parse_parse_frame() takes a buffer from the
	  frame_out adapter and sets frame->out_buffer. If finish_frame() then
	  fails its precondition checks, that buffer is never freed.
	  Also fix gst_base_parse_frame_copy() which uses g_memdup2() to copy
	  the frame struct, giving the copy the same out_buffer pointer as the
	  original, but only adds a ref for buffer and not for out_buffer.

	  }
	  instead of:
	  configs = {
	  "$(validateflow), pad=sink:sink, buffers-checksum=true",
	  }
	  When expectations-dir or actual-results-dir are not explicitly set,
	  validate_flow_override_new() now derives them from the __filename__
	  metadata field (already attached to each config structure by the
	  parser). This mirrors the path computation done in
	  gst_validate_structure_set_variables_from_struct_file().
	  The $(validateflow) variable and the old string syntax remain fully
	  supported for backward compatibility.
	  Port all existing .validatetest files to the new syntax.

	  The dots tracer always composes with the pipeline-snapshot tracer when

	  this with features=dump when they only need the dot-dir setup.
	  The pipeline-snapshot tracer is part of the rstracers plugin, which
	  is shipped as a separate distribution package or built with
	  -Drs=enabled (disabled by default). The features parameter allows
	  skipping the tracer lookup entirely.

	  meaning in the structure/caps/pipeline syntax and was simply never
	  included.
	  This fixes parsing of tracer parameters like

	  tracer: use g_value_transform for property type conversion
	  When parsing tracer parameters from GST_TRACERS, values like
	  `log-level=6` are parsed by gst_structure_from_string as integers,
	  but the property may expect a different type (e.g. string). Previously
	  this would fail with a type mismatch error.
	  Use g_value_transform() as a fallback to convert between compatible
	  types before erroring out, so that e.g. an int value can be
	  automatically transformed to a string.

	* gst/gstpad.c:
	  gstpad: fix potential buffer leak in get_range_failed error handler
	  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
	  non-OK flow, the buffer would be leaked since it was never written
	  back to the caller's buffer pointer.
	  Add defensive cleanup matching the pattern already used in the
	  probe_stopped_unref handler in the same function.

	  When gst_pad_pull_range() fails during a racy pipeline teardown, the

	  though the return value is not GST_FLOW_OK. The code jumps to the
	  pause label without clearing the buffer, leaking it.
	  Use gst_clear_buffer() before the goto to properly release the buffer
	  on all error paths.

	  input-selector: fix race condition selecting next active pad
	  When a pad is being released, the pad is marked as flushing and the selector
	  lock is released before the pad is removed from the element pad list. This is
	  necessary so any in-progress event or buffer handling for this pad terminates
	  before the pad is deactivated.
	  If another thread was trying to select the next active pad at this particular
	  moment, it could end up picking the pad being released before it was removed
	  from the element pad list.
	  This commit adds a flag which is set when the pad is being released, so it won't
	  get picked as the next active pad.
