           Summary: Build releases (X.Y.0) with -DG_DISABLE_CAST_CHECKS
    Classification: Desktop
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: git
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED

Currently all our .0 releases are being built with the expensive cast type
checking enabled.

While this helps for debugging purposes (git versions), it does introduce an
overhead which is useless for releases.

Disabling those type checks will not change in any way the behaviour of
GStreamer and the various plugins (the only difference being that it will not
output a warning message on the console, but if something crashed/errored
before it will still behave the same).

FWIW, gtk+ does the same for their stable releases.
