+config
+
+
+-
+Many changes.
+
+-
+Currently gdd and cas are not built. LEFT FOR JEFF TO MAKE WORK
+
+
+
dbCommon.dbd
+
+
+-
+several extra definitions were changed from void * to correct struct types.
+
+-
+ACKT was changed so it can be set by database configuration tools.
+
+
+
dbStaticLib
+
+-
+The DTYP field is always written.
+
+-
+The NoRun version now keeps record instances keeps all records of each
+type in alphabetical order.
+
+-
+CALC fields are OK if either postfix or sCalcPostfix returns success.
+
+breakpoint tables
+Tables names were previously forced to be alphanumeric. This restriction
+is removed.
+
drvTS.c
+
removed potential infinite recursion from tsForceSoftSync()
+
drvSup.h
+
removed definition for reboot.
+
dbNotify
+
If dbPutNotify called dbProcess and dbProcess returned an error
+the notify completion callback was called twice. This bug is fixed.
+
drvBB232
+
This support was defining storage twice. A bug in the current gcc compiler
+supplied with tornado does not properl;y compile such code. The extra definitions
+are removed.
+
aiRecord and aoRecord
+
eoff was not being reinitialized when conversion related fields were
+dynamically modified.
+
compressRecord
+
compressALG_N_to_1_Median (compress keeping median value) added.
+
mbbiDirectRecord
+
When just the record's severity changed, only monitors on the VAL fields
+were posted, no monitors on the single bit fields.
+
devApsEr.c
+
ErGetTicks now locks while updating ticks
+
devCommonGpib
+
sscanf response now checked to be equal to 1 rather than just not zero.
+
bitbus support
+
This support is now unbundled. DO NOT use the version in base. This
+includes the following
+
+-
+devBBInteract.c
+
+-
+devBUG.dbd
+
+-
+devBitbusStats.dbd
+
+-
+devIObug.c
+
+-
+drvBB232.c

+
+-
+drvBitBusInterface.h
+
+-
+drvMsg.c
+
+-
+drvMsg.h
+
+-
+drvRs232.h
+
+NOTE: drvBitBusInterface.h and drvBitBusErr.h appear in both base and unbundled
+because drvGib uses it. Must be fixed when gpib is unbundled.
+devOpt support
+
The following gpib support modules have been changed to fix compiler
+bug fot vxWorks 5.3:
+
+-
+devAnalytekGpib.c
