 #### Scalar records reading from empty arrays

+Records reading scalar fields from empty arrays are now set to INVALID/LINK
+alarm status.
+Links have to call dbGetLink with pnRequest=NULL to be recognized as requests
 for scalars.
 This changes the semantics of pnRequest=NULL. It is now different from
 requesting up to 1 array element, which may return a valid empty array.
 
+### Writing empty arrays to scalar records
+
+Witing an empty array to a scalar field now sets the target record to
+INVALID/LINK alarm but does not modify the value. Before, the value used
+to be set to 0 (without any alarm).
+A target field needs to have the SPC_DBADDR tag to be recognized as an array
+field and the record support must define a put_array_info method.
