Command line: datastream, API: getDataStream/ setDataStream
This command to enable/ disable data stream from left or right port

is now allowed only for 10GbE. Previously, it incorrectly allowed to do so.
. Non-blocking start
Allow non-blocking start at modular level again.
. [Gotthard][Gotthard2] Num modules
Only 2 modules allowed maximum in a detector shared memory.

. [Eiger] Only one executable
Only one executable for an Eiger virtual server. Master and top mode
can be provided via command line or config file to the detector server,
as well as via the client. See in Other New Features for more details.
One can start a module using:
eigerDetectorServer_virtual # reads default config file (top master)
eigerDetectorServer_virtual -i #ignores the config file (bottom slave)

Command line: rx_arping API: getRxArping/ setRxArping
Starts a thread in the receiver to arping the interface it is listening
to in 10GbE mode every 60 s.
Changes NUM_RX_THREAD_IDS (sls_detector_defs.h) from 8 to 9.
. File write
File write is disabled by default.
. Missing packets
Command line: rx_missingpackets, API: getNumMissingPackets
This now returns a signed 64 bit instead of unsigned. The negative polarity
depicts extra packets instead of missing packets and also takes care of
disabled ports.
. Frames caught and frame index
Command line rx_framescaught, rx_frameindex, API: getFramesCaught/ getRxCurrentFrameIndex
They now return a vector for each port when there are 2 udp interfaces
in the receiver.
. Geometry metadata
Added geometry (number of modules in each direction) to metadata in file.
. HDF5 and Binary writer version
Changed from 6.3 to 6.4

. [Eiger][Gotthard][Gotthard2][Mythen3] Master
Command line: master, API: getMaster/ setMaster
All of them can get master mode from the client.
Only Eiger can set a half module to master or slave from the client.
The others can set this only in a virtual server.
Setting up on the detector or virtual server:-
[Eiger][Gotthard2][Mythen3][Gotthard]
Using command line 'master' or 'm' with argument (slave=0, master=1)
[Eiger][Gotthard]
Using config file with 'master' with argument (slave=0, master=1)
. [Eiger] Top
Command line: top, API: getTop/ setTop
Sets the half module to top or bottom from the client.
This can also be set up on the detector server:
Using command line 'top' or 't' with argument (top=0, bottom=1)
Using config file with 'top' with argument (top=0, bottom=1)

. [Gotthard2] 25um Image reconstruction for 2 modules
First module (master) interleaves with second modules(slave). First channel

. [Gotthard2] 25um image reconstruction in virtual HDF5
Virtual HDF5 reconstructs complete image by interleaving first module
(master) with second module (slave). First channel of master is first
channel of detector.
Requires firmware update to reverse channels of slaves.
- increases the progress according to listened index. (not processed index)
- current frame index points to listened frame index (not processed index)
- when in discard partial frames or empty mode, the frame number doesnt increase by 1, it increases to that number (so its faster)
- file write disabled by default
- eiger 12 bit mode
- start non blocking acquisition at modular level
- connect master commands to api (allow set master for eiger)
--ignore-config command line
- command line argument 'master' mainly for virtual servers (also master/top for real eiger), only one virtual server for eiger, use command lines for master/top
- stop servers also check for errors at startup( in case it was running with an older version)
- hostname cmd failed when connecting to servers in update mode (ctb, moench, jungfrau, eiger)
- missingpackets signed (negative => extra packets)
- framescaught and frameindex now returns a vector for each port
- progress looks at activated or enabled ports, so progress does not stagnate
- (eiger) disable datastreaming also for virtual servers only for 10g
- missing packets also takes care of disabled ports
- added geometry to metadata
- 10g eiger nextframenumber get fixed.
- stop, able to set nextframenumber to a consistent (max + 1) for all modules if different (eiger/ctb/jungfrau/moench)
- ctb: can set names for all the dacs
- fpga/kernel programming, checks if drive is a special file and not a normal file
- gotthard 25 um image reconstructed in gui and virtual hdf5 (firmware updated for slave to reverse channels)
- master binary file in json format now
- fixed bug introduced in 6.0.0: hdf5 files created 1 file per frame after the initial file which had maxframesperfile

. [Eiger] Incorrect next frame number
Command line: nextframenumber, API: getNextFrameNumber/ setNextFrameNumber
Get next frame number for 10g was connected to 1g registers and gave
incorrect values. Fixed.
. [Eiger][Jungfrau][Moench][Ctb] Stop affecting next frame number
Stopping acquisition sometimes results in different next frame numbers
for different moduels. Hence, after a stop, if the next frame numbers are
different, they are all set to their maximum value + 1.

. [Mythen3] Incorrect gaincaps
Setting threshold energy was overwriting gaincaps with settings enum. Fixed.
. [Ctb][Moench] Hostname fail in update mode.

. Stop server startup errors
Stop servers now also check for errors at startup (including version
compatibility) and like the control server, it will translate to the
client when connecting to the first time (hostname command).
Receiver

. refactored and fixed minor issues
- 200%in acquire

Fixed progress also in discard partial packaets mode and deactivated ports.
Fixed 200% progress.
. [Eiger] Datastream command order
The order of commands to set datastream from client mattered previously.
Datastream had to be set before 10GbE enable. Order does not matter anymore.
3. Firmware Requirements

G2 Firmware update to reverse channels of slaves.
