<h3>Grand source-code reorganization</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>EPICS 7.0.1 contains the IOC Database, RSRV server and the Channel Access
|
||||
client code from EPICS Base 3.16.1 along with all the original record types and
|
||||
soft device support, but GDD and the Portable Channel Access Server have been
|
||||
unbundled and are now available separately. In their place we have brought in
|
||||
the more recently written EPICS V4 C++ libraries (collectively referred to as
|
||||
the PVA modules). The directory tree for EPICS is somewhat larger as a result,
|
||||
and the original structure of the Base directories has been split into 4
|
||||
separate Git repositories. External modules should build against this new
|
||||
structure with little or no changes needed, except that some allowance may be
|
||||
needed for the merging of the V4 modules.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There should be rather more description and documantation of these changes
|
||||
than is currently available, but as developers we generally much prefer to write
|
||||
code than documentation. Send questions to the tech-talk mailing list and we'll
|
||||
be happy to try and answer them!</p>
