+### Fix undefined timestamp for NORD field
+
+When monitoring non-val fields such as `NORD` for several record types updates
+are not sent out correctly resulting in incorrect timestamps. This fixes this
+for the record types `aai`, `aao`, `subArray`.
+
+Note that support modules that already implement this in the device support
+layer will need to be updated to avoid doubled monitor updates. If those modules
+are to be built against older versions of EPICS base then they will need to use
+the defined macros `AAO_POSTS_NORD`, `AAI_POSTS_NORD`, `SA_POSTS_NORD`, or
+`WF_POSTS_NORD` as appropriate to detect this change.
