Changes since 3.13.2</h3>
<b>Channel Access Changes</b><b></b>
<p>Fixed the RISC architecture specific problem in iocCore which results
in an intermittent and infrequent assert failure with this message: "assert
(ev_que->evUser->nDuplicates>=1u)". This was actually fixed in release
3.13.2.
<p>All structure members with names "m_type" were changed to "m_dataType"
to avoid a macro name compile time conflict present in the SENS IP kernel
supplied with Tornado II and optionally in Tornado I.
<p>The network interface query code used by Channel Access for auto-configure
was modified to be compatible with changed API's present in the SENS IP&nbsp;
kernel supplied with Tornado II and optionally in Tornado I.
<br>&nbsp;
<p><b>task_params.h</b>
<p>Change task names so that they do not contain blanks.
<p><b>tsLib.h</b>
<p>Made tsStampFromLocal and tsStampToLocal public rather than private.
<p><b>dbAccess</b>
<p>The following new routines have been added.
<blockquote>dbGetControlLimits
<br>dbGetGraphicLimits
<br>dbGetAlarmLimits
<br>dbGetPrecision
<br>dbGetUnits
<br>dbGetNelements
<br>dbGetSevr
<br>dbGetTimeStamp</blockquote>
<b>menuAlarmStat.dbd</b>
<p>choice(menuAlarmStat,"NO_ALARM")
<p>is changed to
<p>choice(menuAlarmStatNO_ALARM,"NO_ALARM")
<p><b>recGblResetAlarms</b>
<p>a monitor for the STAT field is fired if either the STAT or SEVR changes.
Previously a monotor was fired only if the STAT changes.
<p><b>dbAccess.c</b>
<p>In dbPutLinkValue, if the (out)link has MS property, the old severity
was propagated instead of the actual one. This is fixed by calling recGblSetSevr
with NSEV instead of SEVR of the source record.
<p><b>mbboDirectRecord</b>
<ul>
<li>
IVOV and IVOA are now fully supported. Behaviour is similar to other output
record types.</li>
<li>
UDF behaviour is fixed: UDF is now reset after warm reboot, after setting
any of the BX fields in supervisory mode and after (successful) reading
from DOL in closed_loop mode. Also, UDF_ALARM is raised if UDF has not
yet been reset, as with other record types</li>
<li>
LINK / INVALID alarm is raised if reading from DOL fails. This, also, is
similar to other output records.</li>
</ul>
<p><br><b>devVXStats.c</b>
<p>The stack size for cpuUsageTask was increased. The precious stack size
was too small for mv172s, which do not have a separate interrupt stack
like the mv167.&nbsp; The same problem may exist on other processors such
as the powerPC.
<p><b>dbel.c</b>
<p>It was incorrectly reporting VALUE,&nbsp; ALARM and LOG for all events.
<p><b>longoutRecord</b>
<p>Added fields drvl and drvh
<p><b>aiRecord, calcRecord, calcoutRecord, selRecord, and subRecord</b>
<p>In alarm the definitions of hihi, high, low, lolo; are changed from
float to double.
<p><b>aoRecord.c</b>
<p>The convert routine no longer sets udf false. Fetch_value does set udf
false when it successfully fetched a value. Thus udf is now only set false
when a new value is obtained.
<p><b>dfanoutRecord.c</b>
<p>A dbPutLink is attempted for all links even if a put for a previous
link fails. If a dbPutLink fails&nbsp; recGblSetSevr(pdfanout,LINK_ALARM,MAJOR_ALARM)
is called.
<p><b>dbStaticLib</b>
<p>When dbPutString&nbsp; writes to the VAL field then udf is set false.
<p><b>cvtFast</b>
<p>cvtLongToHexString now puts 0x in frount of the number and cvtLongToOctalString
writes a leading 0.
<br>&nbsp;
