	* gst/gstcpuid.c:
	  cpuid: fix AArch64 NEON detection to check HWCAP_ASIMD, not HWCAP_NEON
	  HWCAP_NEON only exists in the ARM32 kernel headers. On genuine AArch64
	  Linux the header doesn't define it, so the existing #ifndef fallback
	  (1 << 12) kicks in for AArch64 too, since the __ARM_ARCH guard doesn't
	  distinguish 32-bit ARM from AArch64. That bit position is
	  HWCAP_ASIMDRDM (an optional ARMv8.1+ extension) on AArch64's hwcap
	  numbering, not base NEON/ASIMD (bit 1). A core with base ASIMD but
	  without the ASIMDRDM extension would silently get NEON disabled.
	  Split the fallback macro and the detection branch by architecture,
	  using HWCAP_ASIMD for AArch64, matching the same split already used in
	  gstreamer/orc's orccpu-arm.c. The 32-bit ARM path is unchanged.
	  Fixes #5249

	  pad: fix livelock relinking pad while pushing changed sticky events
	  Make sure to fully reset the tracking struct when re-looping to

	  to avoid an infinite loop.
	  Also simplify the exit check the interior loop already checks
	  the pending events flag before it generates the INTERRUPTED

	* meson.build:
	  meson: use dependency('dl') instead of cc.find_library('dl')
	  On systems with glibc >= 2.34, dlopen/dladdr are provided by libc
	  and libdl.a is shipped as an empty stub archive. cc.find_library('dl')
	  still reports the library as found and adds -ldl to the link line,
	  but linking the empty archive produces no DT_NEEDED entry for libdl.
	  g-ir-scanner resolves -l flags by matching them against ldd output
	  of the built library, so gir generation fails with:
	  ERROR: can't resolve libraries to shared libraries: dl
	  unless an unrelated transitive dependency happens to pull in
	  libdl.so.2 and mask the problem.
	  Meson's builtin 'dl' dependency (available since 0.62, well below
	  our 1.4 minimum) returns no link arguments when dlopen is provided
	  by libc, and still links libdl on platforms where it is a separate
	  library. dladdr detection via cc.has_function() is unaffected.
	  Apply the same change to gst-devtools and gst-python, which used
	  the identical pattern. Vendored subprojects (libsoup, libajantv2)
	  are left untouched as those belong upstream.

	  gst_type_find_helper_for_extension which serves a different purpose.

	  factories that have no extensions but whether they have a function or not
	  does not matter.

	* 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

	  allocation, so it leaks (e.g. pixel-aspect-ratio). Regression from the

	  In gst_value_unique_list_append_and_take_value, the append_value
	  is transfer-full, so if this value is already existing, it should
	  be unset inside the method.
	  Tensor elements append one caps per model output into a unique list
	  (transfer-full). When two outputs share the same caps signature (e.g.
	  YOLOv8-seg), the list deduplicates the second — but the drop path leaked
	  that caps instead of releasing it.

	* gst/gstbufferpool.c:
	  bufferpool: avoid leaking partially preallocated buffers
	  Preallocate buffers into a temporary array in default_start() before handing
	  them to release_buffer(). If allocation fails midway, free the buffers that
	  are still owned by the base class instead of leaving already released buffers
	  behind.
	  This avoids leaking buffers and corrupting cur_buffers when preallocation
	  fails, while still allowing subclasses to take ownership in release_buffer()
	  only after all allocations succeeded.

	* gst/gsttask.c:
	  gsttask: Fix racy tests by making unref deterministic
	  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.

	  gstinfo: Don't use fwrite() on Windows for debug logging
	  When setting GST_DEBUG_FILE, the file was opened with fopen() and

	  Windows because fwrite() doesn't support line-buffered I/O.
	  Bypass the CRT userspace buffering by submitting whole lines in
	  a single write to the kernel. This is equivalent to line-buffered FILE
	  writes, and is about 12% faster.

	* 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.

	* 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.

	  Subclasses typically derive buffer duration from stream header
	  information, but this can be inaccurate for variable framerate

	  long stream of dlopen errors.
