<h4>Top-level make target changes</h4>
<p>Several make targets have been changed. Note that these can only be used from an
application's &lt;top&gt; directory.</p>
<dl>
<dt><code>make uninstall.&lt;arch&gt;</code></dt>
<dd>Deletes the bin/&lt;arch&gt; and lib/&lt;arch&gt; directories for &lt;arch&gt;
only. Note that &lt;arch&gt; does not have to be an architecture that this host is
configured to build, it works for any arch.</dd>
<dt><code>make archuninstall</code></dt>
<dd>Deletes the bin/&lt;arch&gt; and lib/&lt;arch&gt; directories for all
architectures that this host is configured to build. Should not affect files used
for multiple architectures, or for host or target architectures that this host is
not configured to build.</dd>
<dt><code>make uninstall</code></dt>
<dd>Does archuninstall and also deletes the other install directories include, db,
dbd, doc, html, templates and java. This will affect subsequent builds for other
architectures, but it doesn't delete their bin/&lt;arch&gt; or lib/&lt;arch&gt;
contents.</dd>
<dt><code>make realuninstall</code></dt>
<dd>Deletes all install directories for all architectures.</dd>
<dt><code>make distclean</code></dt>
<dd>Does realclean realuninstall as before, and also now does a cvsclean, which
removes file remnants from CVS operations named <code>.#*</code> and editor
backups named <code>*~</code> throughout the source tree.</dd>
</dl>
<h4>Compress record type</h4>
<p>This record now posts monitors on its NUSE field whenever its value changes. A new
field OUSE was added to support this.</p>
<h4>Remove C++ build rule for <code>.C</code> files</h4>
<p>An early convention on Unix systems was to name C++ files with an upper-case
extention, <code>.C</code>. This does not work on Windows or MacOS where the
filesystems are case-insensitive, and the C++ build rule was causing problems so has
been eliminated. Any remaining C++ source files that are still using this convention
will have to be renamed, preferably to <code>.cpp</code></p>
<h4>Support <code>make -s</code> on Windows</h4>
<p>The flag to silence build output did not work on some Windows architecture
combinations. This has now been fixed.</p>
<h4>iocLogServer now supports logrotate</h4>
<p>The feature in the iocLogServer that closed and reopened the logfile used to ignore
the SIGHUP signal when the log filename did not change. This has now been changed so
these logfiles can be used with the standard Linux logrotate package.</p>
