<h3>Fix broken <tt>EPICS_IOC_LOG_FILE_LIMIT=0</tt> setting</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The Application Developers' Guide says this is allowed and disables the
|
||||
limit on the log-file, but it hasn't actually worked for some time (if ever).
|
||||
Note that the iocLogServer will be removed from newer Base release sometime
|
||||
soon as its functionality can be implemented by other dedicated log servers
|
||||
such as logstash or syslog-ng.</p>

<h3>Cleanup of startup directory</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The files in the startup directory have not been maintained in recent years
|
||||
and have grown crufty (technical term). This release includes the following
|
||||
updates to these files:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>The Perl <tt>EpicsHostArch.pl</tt> script has been rewritten, and support
|
||||
for a few previously missing host architectures has been added to it.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>The <tt>EpicsHostArch.pl</tt> script has also been moved into the standard
|
||||
<tt>src/tools</tt> directory, from where it will be installed into
|
||||
<tt>lib/perl</tt>. In this new location it is no longer executable, so it must
|
||||
be run by the <tt>perl</tt> executable.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>The build system has been adjusted to look for <tt>EpicsHostArch.pl</tt> in
|
||||
both places if the <tt>EPICS_HOST_ARCH</tt> environment variable has not been
|
||||
set at build-time.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Sites that used the original Perl script to set <tt>EPICS_HOST_ARCH</tt> as
|
||||
part of their standard environment will need to adjust their scripts when they
|
||||
upgrade to this release.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>The <tt>EpicsHostArch</tt> shell script has been replaced with a wrapper
|
||||
routine that calls the Perl <tt>EpicsHostArch.pl</tt> script. Sites that rely on
|
||||
this script to set <tt>EPICS_HOST_ARCH</tt> should consider switching to the
|
||||
Perl script instead.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>The <tt>Site.cshrc</tt> and <tt>Site.profile</tt> files have been renamed to
|
||||
<tt>unix.csh</tt> and <tt>unix.sh</tt>, respectively.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>The existing <tt>win32.bat</tt> file has been cleaned up and a new
|
||||
<tt>windows.bat</tt> file added for 64-bit targets. The contents of these files
|
||||
should be seen as examples, don't uncomment or install parts for software that
|
||||
you don't explicitly know that you need.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Recent Apple XCode Build Issues</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The latest version of XCode will not compile calls to <tt>system()</tt> or
|
||||
<tt>clock_settime()</tt> for iOS targets. There were several places in Base
|
||||
where these were being compiled, although there were probably never called. The
|
||||
code has now been modified to permit iOS builds to complete again.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Prevent illegal alarm severities</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A check has been added to <tt>recGblResetAlarms()</tt> that prevents records
|
||||
from getting an alarm severity higher than INVALID_ALARM. It is still possible
|
||||
for a field like HSV to get set to a value that is not a legal alarm severity,
|
||||
but the core IOC code should never copy such a value into a record's SEVR or
|
||||
ACKS fields. With this fix the record's alarm severity will be limited to
|
||||
INVALID_ALARM.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Fixes for Launchpad bugs</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The following launchpad bugs have fixes included:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/epics-base/+bug/1786320">
