## EPICS Release 7.0.9
**This version of EPICS has not been released yet.**
### Core documentation published at ReadTheDocs
## Changes made on the 7.0 branch since 7.0.8.1
The `documentation` directory's `Makefile` can now run various publication scripts including Sphinx and Doxygen to generate formatted documentation that is now being published
[at docs.epics-controls.org](https://docs.epics-controls.org/projects/base/en/latest/index.html)
and integrated into the main [EPICS Documentation website](https://docs.epics-controls.org/en/latest/index.html).
The best place to find out more about these mechanisms is the
[Contribution Guide](https://docs.epics-controls.org/en/latest/CONTRIBUTING.html)
although it doesn't currently cover the new processes added to epics-base.
Much of the documentation generated from .dbd.pod files at build time is now
also being converted into MarkDown (.md) files and installed into the top-level
`doc` directory. Some users might find it quicker to look up information about a
record type by opening these files in a text editor intead of opening a browser
and loading the HTML versions or finding and opening the files from the EPICS
Documentation site.

### Submodule updates
The pvDatabase module was updated to version 4.7.2:
* Resolved issue with changed field set in the case where the top level (master)
field ("_") is not requested by the client, but the master field callback causes
all fields to be marked as updated, rather than only those fields that have
actually been modified.

### Submodule updates
The pvData module was updated to version 8.0.6:
- Compatible changes
- Actually enable JSON-5 output in PVStructure::Formatter::JSON when available.
- Fix unaligned access issues for some ARM/Linux targets.
The pvAccess module was updated to version 7.1.7:
- Changes

variable in the environment.
The pva2pva module was updated to version 1.4.1:
- Bug Fixes
- `dbLoadGroup` was fixed
- Additions
- Support for "meta" member at top of array of structs
The pvDatabase module was updated to version 4.7.1:
* Added data distributor plugin which can be used for distributing data between
a group of clients. The plugin is triggered by the request string of the
form:
`_[distributor=group:<group id>;set:<set_id>;trigger:<field_name>;updates:<n_updates>;mode:<update_mode>]`
The plugin parameters are optional and are described bellow:
- group: this parameter indicates a group that client application belongs to (default value: "default"); groups of clients are completely independent of each other
- set: this parameter designates a client set that application belongs to within its group (default value: "default")
- trigger: this is the PV structure field that distinguishes different channel updates (default value: "timeStamp"); for example, for area detector images one could use the "uniqueId" field of the NTND structure
- updates: this parameter configures how many sequential updates a client (or a set of clients) will receive before the data distributor starts updating the next one (default value: "1")
- mode: this parameter configures how channel updates are to be distributed between clients in a set:
- one: update goes to one client per set
- all: update goes to all clients in a set
- default is "one" if client set id is not specified, and "all" if set id is specified
