+
+  What is EPICS base?
+
+     The Experimental Physics and Industrial Control Systems (EPICS) is an
+     extensible set of software components and tools with which application
+     developers can create a control system. This control system can be used
+     to control accelerators, detectors, telescopes, or other scientific
+     experimental equipment. EPICS base is the set of core software, i.e. the
+     components of EPICS without which EPICS would not function. EPICS base
+     allows an arbitrary number of target systems, IOCs (input/output
+     controllers), and host systems, OPIs (operator interfaces) of various
+     types.
+
+  What is new in this release?
+
+     Please check the RELEASE_NOTES file in the distribution for description
+     of changes and release migration details.
+
+  Copyright
+
+     Please review the LICENSE file included in the distribution for legal
+     terms of usage.
+
+  Supported platforms
+
+     The list of platforms supported by this version of EPICS base is given
+     in the configure/CONFIG_SITE file. If you are trying to build EPICS Base
+     on an unlisted host or for a different target machine you must have the
+     proper host/target cross compiler and header files, and you will have to
+     create and add the appropriate new configure files to the
+     base/configure/os/directory. You can start by copying existing
+     configuration files in the configure/os directory and then make changes
+     for your new platforms.
+
+  Supported compilers
+
+     This version of EPICS base has been built and tested using the host
+     vendor's C and C++ compilers, as well as the GNU gcc and g++ compilers.
+     The GNU cross-compilers work for all cross-compiled targets. You may
+     need the C and C++ compilers to be in your search path to do EPICS
+     builds; check the definitions of CC and CCC in
+     base/configure/os/CONFIG.<host>.<host> if you have problems.
+
+  Software requirements
+
+     GNU make
+     You must use GNU make, gnumake, for any EPICS builds. Set your path so
+     that a gnumake version 3.81 or later is available.
+
+     Perl
+     You must have Perl version 5.8.1 or later installed. The EPICS
+     configuration files do not specify the perl full pathname, so the perl
+     executable must be found through your normal search path.
+
+     Unzip and tar (Winzip on WIN32 systems)
+     You must have tools available to unzip and untar the EPICS base
+     distribution file.
+
+     Target systems
+     EPICS supports IOCs running on embedded platforms such as VxWorks and
+     RTEMS built using a cross-compiler, and also supports soft IOCs running
+     as processes on the host platform.
+
+     vxWorks
+     You must have vxWorks 6 installed if any of your target systems are
+     vxWorks systems; the C++ compilers for vxWorks 5.x are now too old to
+     support. The vxWorks installation provides the cross-compiler and header
+     files needed to build for these targets. The absolute path to and the
+     version number of the vxWorks installation must be set in the
+     base/configure/os/CONFIG_SITE.Common.vxWorksCommon file or in one of its
+     target-specific overrides.
+
+     Consult the vxWorks 6.x EPICS web pages and the vxWorks documentation
+     for information about configuring your vxWorks operating system for use
+     with EPICS.
+
+     RTEMS
+     For RTEMS targets, you need RTEMS core and toolset version 4.9.2 or
+     later.
+
+     GNU readline or Tecla library
+     GNU readline and Tecla libraries can be used by the IOC shell to provide
+     command line editing and command line history recall and edit. GNU
+     readline (or Tecla library) must be installed on your target system when
+     COMMANDLINE_LIBRARY is set to READLINE (or TECLA) for that target. EPICS
+     (EPICS shell) is the default specified in CONFIG_COMMON. A READLINE
+     override is defined for linux-x86 in the EPICS distribution. Comment out
+     COMMANDLINE_LIBRARY=READLINE in
+     configure/os/CONFIG_SITE.Common.linux-x86 if readline is not installed
+     on linux-x86. Command-line editing and history will then be those
+     supplied by the os. On vxWorks the ledLib command-line input library is
+     used instead.
+
+  Host system storage requirements
+
+     The compressed tar file is approximately 1.6 MB in size. The
+     distribution source tree takes up approximately 12 MB. Each host target
+     will need around 40 MB for build files, and each cross-compiled target
+     around 20 MB.
+
+  Documentation
+
+     EPICS documentation is available through the EPICS website at Argonne.
+
+     Release specific documentation can also be found in the
+     base/documentation directory of the distribution.

+
+  Building EPICS base (Unix and Win32)
+
+    Unpack file
+
+       Unzip and untar the distribution file. Use WinZip on Windows systems.
+
+    Set environment variables
+
+       Files in the base/startup directory have been provided to help set
+       required path and other environment variables.
+
+       EPICS_HOST_ARCH
+       Before you can build or use EPICS R3.15, the environment variable
+       EPICS_HOST_ARCH must be defined. A perl script EpicsHostArch.pl in the
+       base/startup directory has been provided to help set EPICS_HOST_ARCH.
+       You should have EPICS_HOST_ARCH set to your host operating system
+       followed by a dash and then your host architecture, e.g.
+       solaris-sparc. If you are not using the OS vendor's c/c++ compiler for
+       host builds, you will need another dash followed by the alternate
+       compiler name (e.g. "-gnu" for GNU c/c++ compilers on a solaris host
+       or "-mingw" for MinGW c/c++ compilers on a WIN32 host). See
+       configure/CONFIG_SITE for a list of supported EPICS_HOST_ARCH values.
+
+       PERLLIB
+       On WIN32, some versions of Perl require that the environment variable
+       PERLLIB be set to <perl directory location>.
+
+       PATH
+       As already mentioned, you must have the perl executable and you may
+       need C and C++ compilers in your search path. For building base you
+       also must have echo in your search path. For Unix host builds you also
+       need ln, cpp, cp, rm, mv, and mkdir in your search path and /bin/chmod
+       must exist. On some Unix systems you may also need ar and ranlib in
+       your path, and the C compiler may require as and ld in your path. On
+       solaris systems you need uname in your path.
+
+       LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+       R3.15 shared libraries and executables normally contain the full path
+       to any libraries they require. However, if you move the EPICS files or
+       directories from their build-time location then in order for the
+       shared libraries to be found at runtime LD_LIBRARY_PATH must include
+       the full pathname to $(INSTALL_LOCATION)/lib/$(EPICS_HOST_ARCH) when
+       invoking executables, or some equivalent OS-specific mechanism (such
+       as /etc/ld.so.conf on Linux) must be used. Shared libraries are now
+       built by default on all Unix type hosts.
+
+    Do site-specific build configuration
+
+       Site configuration
+       To configure EPICS, you may want to modify the default definitions in
+       the following files:
+
+         configure/CONFIG_SITE      Build choices. Specify target archs.
+         configure/CONFIG_SITE_ENV  Environment variable defaults
+         configure/RELEASE          TORNADO2 full path location
+
+       Host configuration
+       To configure each host system, you may override the default
+       definitions by adding a new file in the configure/os directory with
+       override definitions. The new file should have the same name as the
+       distribution file to be overridden except with CONFIG in the name
+       changed to CONFIG_SITE.
+
+         configure/os/CONFIG.<host>.<host>      Host build settings
+         configure/os/CONFIG.<host>.Common      Host common build settings
+
+       Target configuration
+       To configure each target system, you may override the default
+       definitions by adding a new file in the configure/os directory with
+       override definitions. The new file should have the same name as the
+       distribution file to be overridden except with CONFIG in the name
+       replaced by CONFIG_SITE. This step is necessary even if the host
+       system is the only target system.
+
+         configure/os/CONFIG.Common.<target>     Target common settings
+         configure/os/CONFIG.<host>.<target>     Host-target settings
+
+    Build EPICS base
+
+       After configuring the build you should be able to build EPICS base by
+       issuing the following commands in the distribution's root directory
+       (base):
+
+         gnumake clean uninstall
+         gnumake
+
+       The command "gnumake clean uninstall" will remove all files and
+       directories generated by a previous build. The command "gnumake" will
+       build and install everything for the configured host and targets.
+
+       It is recommended that you do a "gnumake clean uninstall" at the root
+       directory of an EPICS directory structure before each complete rebuild
+       to ensure that all components will be rebuilt.
+
+  Example application and extension
+
+     A perl tool, makeBaseApp.pl is included in the distribution file. This
+     script will create a sample application that can be built and then
+     executed to try out this release of base.
+
+     Instructions for building and executing the 3.15 example application can
+     be found in the section "Example Application" of Chapter 2, "Getting
+     Started", in the "IOC Application Developer's Guide" for this release.
+     The "Example IOC Application" section briefly explains how to create and
+     build an example application in a user created <top> directory. It also
+     explains how to run the example application on a vxWorks ioc or as a
+     process on the host system. By running the example application as a
+     host-based IOC, you will be able to quickly implement a complete EPICS
+     system and be able to run channel access clients on the host system.
+
+     A perl script, makeBaseExt.pl, is included in the distribution file.
+     This script will create a sample extension that can be built and
+     executed. The makeBaseApp.pl and makeBaseExt.pl scripts are installed
+     into the install location bin/<hostarch> directory during the base
+     build.
+
+  Multiple host platforms
+
+     You can build using a single EPICS directory structure on multiple host
+     systems and for multiple cross target systems. The intermediate and
+     binary files generated by the build will be created in separate
+     subdirectories and installed into the appropriate separate host/target
+     install directories. EPICS executables and perl scripts are installed
+     into the $(INSTALL_LOCATION)/bin/<arch> directories. Libraries are
+     installed into $(INSTALL_LOCATION)/lib/<arch>. The default definition
+     for $(INSTALL_LOCATION) is $(TOP) which is the root directory in the
+     distribution directory structure, base. Created object files are stored
+     in O.<arch> source subdirectories, This allows objects for multiple
+     cross target architectures to be maintained at the same time. To build
+     EPICS base for a specific host/target combination you must have the
+     proper host/target C/C++ cross compiler and target header files and the
+     base/configure/os directory must have the appropriate configure files.

+<h1>Building EPICS base</h1>
+<ul>
+<li>
+To build base:
+<ol>
+<li>
+Set the EPICS_HOST_ARCH environment variable to darwin-ppc, darwin-x86 or darwin-ppcx86.
+The scripts in the
+base/startup directory can automate this.  For example, here's part
+of my Bash login script (~/.bash_login):
+<pre>
+#
+# EPICS
+#
+EPICS_BASE="${HOME}/src/EPICS/base"
+EPICS_EXTENSIONS="${HOME}/src/EPICS/extensions"
+<strong>.</strong> "${EPICS_BASE}"/startup/Site.profile
+</pre>
+</li>
+<li>
+<code>cd</code> to the EPICS base top-level source directory.
+</li>
+<li>
+Uncomment the appropriate line in the relevent
+EPICS_BASE/configure/os/CONFIG_SITE.Common.darwin-xxx file for your EPICS_HOST_ARCH value.
+Newer versions of OS X (e.g. Snow Leopard) may include only 64 bit versions of some OS libraries,
+so should only have the x86_64 ARCH_CLASS.
+</li>
+<li>
+Run <code>make</code>.
+</li>
+</ol>
+
+</li>
+
+<li>
+As distributed, EPICS on Mac OS X uses the readline command line input
+routines.  IOC applications are more pleasant to interact with if
+either the readline or libtecla library is used.  The easiest
+way to get either or both of these libraries on to your system is to
+download and install them using the either the DarwinPorts
+distribution or the Fink package manager. If you don't want to install
+the readline library, set the COMMANDLINE_LIBRARY variable in one of
+the CONFIG_SITE files to EPICS.
+<p>
+Information on DarwinPorts is available from
+<a href="http://www.opendarwin.org/projects/darwinports/">the DarwinPorts
+project page</a>.
+DarwinPorts binary packages are available from
+<a href="http://packages.opendarwin.org/">here</a>.
+<p>
+Fink may be downloaded from
+<a href="http://fink.sourceforge.net/">the Source Forge</a>.
+</li>
+
+<li>
+If broadcasts are not seen locally, try adding "localhost" (127.0.0.1)
+to the EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST.
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h1>Building EPICS extensions</h1>
+<p>
+Many extensions build and run properly on OS X.  To build and run medm, first
+obtain the X11 run-time and developer packages from Apple and the OpenMotif3
+package from Fink.
+
+<h1>Objective-C and AppleScript</h1>
+<p>
+Code written in Objective-C can be included in host or IOC applications.
+Here are a couple of short Objective-C examples which can be used to send
+AppleScript events to other applications on the OS X machine.

+ *    - Add -framework Foundation to the application LDFLAGS.
+ * 2) Add the following line to the application database description:
+ *      registrar(registerExampleAppleScript)
+ * 3) Add a record to the application database:

+
+<BLOCKQUOTE>The list of platforms supported by this version of EPICS base
+ is given in the configure/CONFIG_SITE file. If you are trying to build
+ EPICS Base on an unlisted host or for a different target machine you
+ must have the proper host/target cross compiler and header files, and

+ problems.</BLOCKQUOTE>
+
+<H3><A NAME="0_0_6"> Software requirements</A></H3>
+
+<BLOCKQUOTE><B>GNU make</B><BR>
+ You must use GNU make, gnumake, for any EPICS builds. Set your path
+ so that a gnumake version 3.81 or later is available.
+
+<P><B>Perl</B><BR>
+ You must have Perl version 5.8.1 or later installed. The EPICS configuration
+ files do not specify the perl full pathname, so the perl executable must
+ be found through your normal search path.</P>
+
+<P><B>Unzip and tar (Winzip on WIN32 systems)</B><BR>
+ You must have tools available to unzip and untar the EPICS base
+ distribution file.</P>
+
+<P><B>Target systems</B><BR>
+ EPICS supports IOCs running on embedded platforms such as VxWorks
+ and RTEMS built using a cross-compiler, and also supports soft IOCs running
+ as processes on the host platform.</P>
+
+<P><B>vxWorks</B><BR>
+ You must have vxWorks 6 installed if any of your target systems are vxWorks
+ systems; the C++ compilers for vxWorks 5.x are now too old to support. The
+ vxWorks installation provides the cross-compiler and header files needed to
+ build for these targets. The absolute path to and the version number of the
+ vxWorks installation must be set in the
+ base/configure/os/CONFIG_SITE.Common.vxWorksCommon file or in one of its
+ target-specific overrides.</P>
+
+<P>Consult the <a href="http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/base/vxWorks6.php">vxWorks
+ 6.x</a> EPICS web pages and the vxWorks documentation for information
+ about configuring your vxWorks operating system for use with EPICS.</P>
+
+<P><B>RTEMS</B><BR>
+ For RTEMS targets, you need RTEMS core and toolset version 4.9.2 or later.</P>
+
+<P><B>GNU readline or Tecla library</B><BR>
+ GNU readline and Tecla libraries can be used by the IOC shell to
+ provide command line editing and command line history recall and edit.
+ GNU readline (or Tecla library) must be installed on your target system
+ when COMMANDLINE_LIBRARY is set to READLINE (or TECLA) for that target.
+ EPICS (EPICS shell) is the default specified in CONFIG_COMMON. A
+ READLINE override is defined for linux-x86 in the EPICS distribution.
+ Comment out COMMANDLINE_LIBRARY=READLINE in
+ configure/os/CONFIG_SITE.Common.linux-x86 if readline is not installed
+ on linux-x86. Command-line editing and history will then be those
+ supplied by the os. On vxWorks the ledLib command-line input library is
+ used instead.</P>

+Files in the base/startup directory have been provided to

+
+<P><B>EPICS_HOST_ARCH</B><BR>
+ Before you can build or use EPICS R3.15, the environment variable
+ EPICS_HOST_ARCH must be defined. A perl script EpicsHostArch.pl in the
+ base/startup directory has been provided to help set EPICS_HOST_ARCH.
+ You should have EPICS_HOST_ARCH set to your host operating system
+ followed by a dash and then your host architecture, e.g. solaris-sparc.
+ If you are not using the OS vendor's c/c++ compiler for host builds,
+ you will need another dash followed by the alternate compiler name
+ (e.g. &quot;-gnu&quot; for GNU c/c++ compilers on a solaris host or &quot;-mingw&quot;
+ for MinGW c/c++ compilers on a WIN32 host). See configure/CONFIG_SITE
+ for a list of supported EPICS_HOST_ARCH values.</P>
+
+<P><B>PERLLIB</B><BR>
+ On WIN32, some versions of Perl require that the environment
+ variable PERLLIB be set to &lt;perl directory location&gt;.</P>
+
+<P><B>PATH</B><BR>
+ As already mentioned, you must have the perl executable and you may
+ need C and C++ compilers in your search path. For building base you
+ also must have echo in your search path. For Unix host builds you also
+ need ln, cpp, cp, rm, mv, and mkdir in your search path and /bin/chmod
+ must exist. On some Unix systems you may also need ar and ranlib in
+ your path, and the C compiler may require as and ld in your path. On
+ solaris systems you need uname in your path.</P>
+
+<P><B>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</B><BR>
+
+ R3.15 shared libraries and executables normally contain the full path
+ to any libraries they require.
+ However, if you move the EPICS files or directories from their build-time
+ location then in order for the shared libraries to be found at runtime
+ LD_LIBRARY_PATH must include the full pathname to
+ $(INSTALL_LOCATION)/lib/$(EPICS_HOST_ARCH) when invoking executables, or
+ some equivalent OS-specific mechanism (such as /etc/ld.so.conf on Linux)
+ must be used.
+ Shared libraries are now built by default on all Unix type hosts.</P>
+</BLOCKQUOTE>
+
+<H4>Do site-specific build configuration</H4>
+<BLOCKQUOTE>
+
+<B>Site configuration</B><BR>
+ To configure EPICS, you may want to modify the default definitions
+ in the following files:
+<PRE>
+        configure/CONFIG_SITE      Build choices. Specify target archs.
+        configure/CONFIG_SITE_ENV  Environment variable defaults
+        configure/RELEASE          TORNADO2 full path location
+</PRE>
+
+<B> Host configuration</B><BR>
+ To configure each host system, you may override the default
+ definitions by adding a new file in the configure/os directory with
+ override definitions. The new file should have the same name as the
+ distribution file to be overridden except with CONFIG in the name
+ changed to CONFIG_SITE.
+
+<PRE>
+        configure/os/CONFIG.&lt;host&gt;.&lt;host&gt;      Host build settings
+        configure/os/CONFIG.&lt;host&gt;.Common      Host common build settings
+</PRE>
+
+<B>Target configuration</B><BR>
+ To configure each target system, you may override the default
+ definitions by adding a new file in the configure/os directory with
+ override definitions. The new file should have the same name as the
+ distribution file to be overridden except with CONFIG in the name
+ replaced by CONFIG_SITE. This step is necessary even if the host system
+ is the only target system.

+
+<H4>Build EPICS base</H4>
+<BLOCKQUOTE>After configuring the build you should be able to build
+ EPICS base by issuing the following commands in the distribution's root
+ directory (base):
+ <PRE>
+        gnumake clean uninstall
+        gnumake
+</PRE>
+
+ The command &quot;gnumake clean uninstall&quot;
+ will remove all files and directories generated by a previous build.

+ directory. It also explains how to run the example application on a
+ vxWorks ioc or as a process on the host system.
+ By running the example application as a host-based IOC, you will be

+ access clients on the host system.
+
+<P>
+ A perl script,
+ makeBaseExt.pl, is included in the distribution file. This script will

+
+<H3><A NAME="0_0_14"> Multiple host platforms</A></H3>
+<BLOCKQUOTE>You can build using a single EPICS directory structure on
+ multiple host systems and for multiple cross target systems. The
+ intermediate and binary files generated by the build will be created in
+ separate subdirectories and installed into the appropriate separate
+ host/target install directories. EPICS executables and perl scripts are
+ installed into the <TT>$(INSTALL_LOCATION)/bin/&lt;arch&gt;</TT> directories.
+ Libraries are installed into $<TT>(INSTALL_LOCATION)/lib/&lt;arch&gt;</TT>.
+ The default definition for <TT>$(INSTALL_LOCATION)</TT> is <TT>$(TOP)</TT>
+ which is the root directory in the distribution directory structure,
+ base. Created object files are stored in O.&lt;arch&gt; source
+ subdirectories, This allows objects for multiple cross target
+ architectures to be maintained at the same time. To build EPICS base
+ for a specific host/target combination you must have the proper
+ host/target C/C++ cross compiler and target header files and the
+ base/configure/os directory must have the appropriate configure files.

-You must have Perl version 5.8.1 or later installed. The EPICS
-configuration files do not specify the perl full pathname, so the perl
-executable must be found through your normal search path.
-
-#### Unzip and tar (Winzip on WIN32 systems)
-
-You must have tools available to unzip and untar the EPICS base
-distribution file.
-
-#### Target systems
-
-EPICS supports IOCs running on embedded platforms such as VxWorks and
-RTEMS built using a cross-compiler, and also supports soft IOCs
-running as processes on the host platform.
-
-#### vxWorks
-
-You must have vxWorks 5.5.x or 6.x installed if any of your target
-systems are vxWorks systems; the C++ compiler for vxWorks 5.4 is now
-too old to support. The vxWorks installation provides the
-cross-compiler and header files needed to build for these targets. The
-absolute path to and the version number of the vxWorks installation
-must be set in the `base/configure/os/CONFIG_SITE.Common.vxWorksCommon`
-file or in one of its target-specific overrides.
-
-Consult the [vxWorks 5.x](https://epics.anl.gov/base/tornado.php) or
-[vxWorks 6.x](https://epics.anl.gov/base/vxWorks6.php) EPICS web pages
-about and the vxWorks documentation for information about configuring
-your vxWorks operating system for use with EPICS.
-
-#### RTEMS
-
-For RTEMS targets, you need RTEMS core and toolset version 4.9.2 or
-4.10.x. RTEMS 5 and above are only supported in EPICS 7.0.6 or later.
-
-#### Command Line Editing
-
-
-GNU readline and other similar libraries can be used by the IOC shell
-to provide command line editing and command line history recall. The
-GNU readline development package (or Apple's emulator on macOS) must
-be installed for a target when its build configuration variable
-`COMMANDLINE_LIBRARY` is set to `READLINE`. The default specified in
-`CONFIG_COMMON` is `EPICS`, but most linux target builds can detect if
-readline is available and will then use it. RTEMS targets may be
-configured to use `LIBTECLA` if available, and on vxWorks the OS's
-ledLib line-editing library is normally used.
-
-### Host system storage requirements
-
-The compressed tar file is approximately 1.7 MB in size. The
-distribution source tree takes up approximately 12 MB. Each host
-target will need around 50 MB for build files, and each cross-compiled
-target around 30 MB.
-
-### Documentation
-
-EPICS documentation is available through the [EPICS
-website](https://epics.anl.gov/) at Argonne.
-
-Release specific documentation can also be found in the
-`base/documentation` directory of the distribution.
-

-
-### Building EPICS base
-
-#### Unpack file
-
-Unzip and untar the distribution file. Use WinZip on Windows
-systems.
-
-#### Set environment variables
-
-Files in the base/startup directory have been provided to help set
-required path and other environment variables.
-
-* **`EPICS_HOST_ARCH`**
-Before you can build or use EPICS R3.15, the environment variable
-`EPICS_HOST_ARCH` must be defined. A perl script EpicsHostArch.pl in
-the base/startup directory has been provided to help set
-`EPICS_HOST_ARCH.` You should have `EPICS_HOST_ARCH` set to your
-host operating system followed by a dash and then your host
-architecture, e.g. solaris-sparc. If you are not using the OS
-vendor's c/c++ compiler for host builds, you will need another dash
-followed by the alternate compiler name (e.g. "-gnu" for GNU c/c++
-compilers on a solaris host or "-mingw" for MinGW c/c++ compilers on
-a WIN32 host). See `configure/CONFIG_SITE` for a list of supported
-`EPICS_HOST_ARCH` values.
-
-* **`PATH`**
-As already mentioned, you must have the `perl` executable and you may
-need C and C++ compilers in your search path. When building base you
-must have `echo` in your search path. For Unix host builds you will
-also need `cp`, `rm`, `mv`, and `mkdir` in your search path. Some Unix
-systems may also need `ar` and `ranlib`, and the C/C++ compilers may
-require `as` and `ld` in your path. On Solaris systems you need
-`uname` in your path.
-
-* **`LD_LIBRARY_PATH`**
-R3.15 shared libraries and executables normally contain the full path
-to any libraries they require, so setting this variable is not usually
-necessary. However, if you move the EPICS installation to a new
-location after building it then in order for the shared libraries to
-be found at runtime it may need to be set, or some equivalent
-OS-specific mechanism such as `/etc/ld.so.conf` on Linux must be used.
-Shared libraries are now built by default on all Unix type hosts.
-
-### Site-specific build configuration
-
-#### Site configuration
-
-To configure EPICS, you may want to modify some values set in the
-following files:
-
-```
-    configure/CONFIG_SITE      Build settings. Specify target archs.
-    configure/CONFIG_SITE_ENV  Environment variable defaults
-```
-
-#### Host configuration
-
-To configure each host system, you can override the default
-definitions by adding a new settings file (or editing an existing
-settings file) in the `configure/os` directory with your override
-definitions. The settings file has the same name as the definitions
-file to be overridden except with `CONFIG` in the name changed to
-`CONFIG_SITE`.
-
-```
-    configure/os/CONFIG.<host>.<host>       Host self-build definitions
-    configure/os/CONFIG.<host>.Common       Host common build definitions
-    configure/os/CONFIG_SITE.<host>.<host>  Host self-build overrides
-    configure/os/CONFIG_SITE.<host>.Common  Host common build overrides
-```
-
-#### Target configuration
-
-To configure each target system, you may override the default
-definitions by adding a new settings file (or editing an existing
-settings file) in the `configure/os` directory with your override
-definitions. The settings file has the same name as the definitions
-file to be overridden except with `CONFIG` in the name changed to
-`CONFIG_SITE`.
-
-```
-    configure/os/CONFIG.Common.<target>       Target common definitions
-    configure/os/CONFIG.<host>.<target>       Host-target definitions
-    configure/os/CONFIG_SITE.Common.<target>  Target common overrides
-    configure/os/CONFIG_SITE.<host>.<target>  Host-target overrides
-```
-
-#### Build EPICS base
-
-After configuring the build you should be able to build EPICS base
-by issuing the following commands in the distribution's root
-directory (base):
-
-```
-    make distclean
-    make
-```
-
-The command `make distclean` will remove all files and
-directories generated by a previous build. The command `make`
-will build and install everything for the configured host and
-targets.
-
-It is recommended that you do a `make distclean` at the
-root directory of an EPICS directory structure before each complete
-rebuild to ensure that all components will be rebuilt.
-
-In some cases GNU Make may have been installed as `gmake` or
-`gnumake`, in which case the above commands will have to be adjusted
-to match.
-
-### Example application and extension
-
-A perl tool `makeBaseApp.pl` and several template applications are
-included in the distribution. This script instantiates the selected
-template into an empty directory to provide an example application
-that can be built and then executed to try out this release of base.
-
-Instructions for building and executing the 3.15 example application
-can be found in the section "Example Application" of Chapter 2,
-"Getting Started", in the "IOC Application Developer's Guide" for this
-release. The "Example IOC Application" section briefly explains how to
-create and build an example application in a user created &lt;top>
-directory. It also explains how to run the example application on a
-vxWorks ioc or as a process on the host system. By running the example
-application as a host-based IOC, you will be able to quickly implement
-a complete EPICS system and be able to run channel access clients on
-the host system.
-
-Another perl script `makeBaseExt.pl` is also included in the
-distribution file for creating an extensions tree and sample
-application that can also be built and executed. Both these scripts
-are installed into the install location `bin/<hostarch>` directory
-during the base build.
-
-### Multiple host platforms
-
-You can build using a single EPICS directory structure on multiple
-host systems and for multiple cross target systems. The intermediate
-and binary files generated by the build will be created in separate
-subdirectories and installed into the appropriate separate host/target
-install directories.
-
-EPICS executables and perl scripts are installed into the
-`$(INSTALL_LOCATION)/bin/<arch>` directories. Libraries are installed
-into $`(INSTALL_LOCATION)/lib/<arch>`. The default definition for
-`$(INSTALL_LOCATION)` is `$(TOP)` which is the root directory in the
-distribution directory structure, `base`. Intermediate object files
-are stored in `O.<arch>` source subdirectories during the build
-process, to allow objects for multiple cross target architectures
-to be maintained at the same time.
-
-To build EPICS base for a specific
-host/target combination you must have the proper host/target C/C++
-cross compiler and target header files and the base/configure/os
-directory must have the appropriate configure files.

+
+<p style="color:red">This version of EPICS Base has not been released yet.</p>
+
+
+<h2 align="center">Changes made on the 3.16 branch since 3.16.0.1</h2>
+<!-- Insert new items immediately below this template ...
+
+<h3>Title...</h3>
+
+<p>Description</p>
+
+-->
+
+<h3>IOC Database Support for 64-bit integers</h3>
+
+<p>The IOC now supports the 64-bit integer field types <tt>DBF_INT64</tt> and
+<tt>DBF_UINT64</tt>, and there are new record types <tt>int64in</tt> and
+<tt>int64out</tt> derived from the <tt>longin</tt> and <tt>longout</tt> types
+respectively that use the <tt>DBF_INT64</tt> data type for their VAL and related
+fields. The usual range of Soft Channel device support are included for these
+new record types.</p>
+
+<p>All internal IOC APIs such as dbAccess can handle the new field types and
+their associated request values <tt>DBR_INT64</tt> and <tt>DBR_UINT64</tt>,
+which are implemented using the <tt>epicsInt64</tt> and <tt>epicsUInt64</tt>
+typedef's from the <tt>epicsTypes.h</tt> header.</p>
+
+<p>The waveform record type has been updated to support these new field types.
+<strong>All waveform device support layers must be updated to recognize the new
+type enumeration values</strong>, which had to be inserted before the
+<tt>FLOAT</tt> value in the enum <tt>dbfType</tt> and in <tt>menuFtype</tt>. C
+or C++ code can detect at compile-time whether this version of base provides
+64-bit support by checking for the presence of the <tt>DBR_INT64</tt> macro as
+follows (Note that <tt>DB<b>F</b>_INT64</tt> is an enum tag and not a
+preprocessor macro):</p>
+
+<blockquote><pre>
+#ifdef DBR_INT64
+    /* Code where Base has INT64 support */
+#else
+    /* Code for older versions */
+#endif
+</pre></blockquote>
+
+<p>Channel Access does not (and probably never will) directly support 64-bit
+integer types, so the new field types are presented to the CA server as
+<tt>DBF_DOUBLE</tt> values. This means that field values larger than 2^52
+(0x10_0000_0000_0000 = 4503599627370496) cannot be transported over Channel
+Access without their least significant bits being truncated. The EPICS V4
+pvAccess network protocol <em>can</em> transport 64-bit data types however, and
+a future release of the pvaSrv module will connect this ability to the fields of
+the IOC.</p>
+
+<p>Additional 64-bit support will be provided in later release. For instance the
+JSON parser for the new Link Support feature only handles integers up to
+32&nbsp;bits wide, so constant array initializer values cannot hold larger
+values in this release.</p>
+
+
+<h3>Add EPICS_CA_MCAST_TTL</h3>
+
+<p>A new environment parameter EPICS_CA_MCAST_TTL is used to set the Time To
+Live (TTL) value of any IP multi-cast CA search or beacon packets sent.</p>
+
+
+<h3>EPICS_CA_MAX_ARRAY_BYTES is optional</h3>
+
+<p>A new environment parameter EPICS_CA_AUTO_ARRAY_BYTES is now used by libca
+and RSRV (CA clients and the IOC CA server). The default is equivalent to
+setting EPICS_CA_AUTO_ARRAY_BYTES=YES which removes the need to set
+EPICS_CA_MAX_ARRAY_BYTES and always attempts to allocate sufficiently large
+network buffers to transfer large arrays properly over the network. In this case
+the value of the EPICS_CA_MAX_ARRAY_BYTES parameter is ignored.</p>
+
+<p>Explicitly setting EPICS_CA_AUTO_ARRAY_BYTES=NO will continue to honor the
+buffer setting in EPICS_CA_AUTO_ARRAY_BYTES as in previous releases.</p>
+
+<p>The default setting for EPICS_CA_AUTO_ARRAY_BYTES can be changed by
+adding the line</p>
+
+<blockquote><pre>
+EPICS_CA_AUTO_ARRAY_BYTES=NO
+</pre></blockquote>
+
+<p>to the configure/CONFIG_SITE_ENV file before building Base. Sites that wish
+to override this only for specific IOC architectures can create new files for
+each architecture named configure/os/CONFIG_SITE_ENV.&lt;target-arch&gt; with
+the above setting in before building Base. The configuration can also be
+explicitly changed by setting the environment variable in the IOC's startup
+script, anywhere above the <tt>iocInit</tt> line.</p>
+
+<p>The PCAS server (used by the PV Gateway and other CA servers) now always
+behaves as if EPICS_CA_AUTO_ARRAY_BYTES is set to YES (it ignores the
+configuration parameter and environment variable).</p>
+
+
+<h3>Channel Access "modernization"</h3>
+
+<p>Drop support for CA clients advertising protocol versions less than 4.</p>
+
+<p>This effects clients from Base older than 3.12.0-beta1.
+Newer clients will continue to be able to connect to older servers.
+Older clients will be ignored by newer servers.</p>
+
+<p>This allows removal of UDP echo and similar protocol features which
+are not compatible with secure protocol design practice.</p>
+
+
+<h3>Lookup-tables using the subArrray record</h3>
+
+<p>The subArray record can now be used as a lookup-table from a constant array
+specified in its INP field. For example:</p>
+
+<pre>
+record(subArray, "powers-of-2") {
+  field(FTVL, "LONG")
+  field(MALM, 12)
+  field(INP, [1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048])
+  field(INDX, 0)
+  field(NELM, 1)
+}
+</pre>
+
+<p>The INDX field selects which power of 2 to set the VAL field to. In previous
+releases the INP field would have to have been pointed to a separate waveform
+record that was initialized with the array values somehow at initialization
+time.</p>
+
+<h3>Synchronized Timestamps with TSEL=-2</h3>
+
+<p>Most Soft Channel input device support routines have supported fetching the
+timestamp through the INP link along with the input data. However before now
+there was no guarantee that the timestamp provided by a CA link came from the
+same update as the data, since the two were read from the CA input buffer at
+separate times without maintaining a lock on that buffer in between. This
+shortcoming could be fixed as a result of the new link support code, which
+allows code using a link to pass a subroutine to the link type which will be run
+with the link locked. The subroutine may make multiple requests for metadata
+from the link, but must not block.</p>
+
+
+<h3>Extensible Link Types</h3>
+
+<blockquote>
+
+<p>A major new feature introduced with this release of EPICS Base is an
+Extensible Link Type mechanism, also known as Link Support or JSON Link Types.
+This addition permits new kinds of link I/O to be added to an IOC in a similar
+manner to the other extension points already supported (e.g. record, device and
+driver support).</p>
+
+<p>A new link type must implement two related APIs, one for parsing the JSON
+string which provides the link address and the other which implements the link
+operations that get called at run-time to perform I/O. The link type is built
+into the IOC by providing a new <tt>link</tt> entry in a DBD file.</p>
+
+
+<h4>New Link Types Added</h4>
+
+<p>This release contains two new JSON link types, <tt>const</tt> and
+<tt>calc</tt>:</p>
+
+<ul>
+
+<li>The <tt>const</tt> link type is almost equivalent to the old CONSTANT link
+type with the updates described below to accept arrays and strings, except that
+there is no need to wrap a scalar string constant inside array brackets since a
+constant string will never be confused with a PV name.</li>
+
+<li>The <tt>calc</tt> link type allows CALC expressions to be used to combine
+values from other JSON links to produce its value. Until additional JSON link
+types are created though, the <tt>calc</tt> link type has little practical
+utility as it can currently only fetch inputs from other <tt>calc</tt> links or
+from <tt>const</tt> links.</li>
+
+</ul>
+
+<pre>
+  field(INP, {calc:{expr:"A+B+1",
+                    args:[5,         # A
+                          {const:6}] # B
+             }})
+</pre>
+
+<p>The new link types are documented in a
+<a href="links.html">separate</a><!-- href for the EPICS website -->
+<a href="../html/links.html">document</a><!-- href for install tree -->
+.</p>
+
+
+<h4>Device Support Addressing using <tt>JSON_LINK</tt></h3>
+
+<p>The API to allow device support to use JSON addresses is currently
+incomplete; developers are advised not to try creating device support that
+specifies a <tt>JSON_LINK</tt> address type.</p>
+
+
+<h4>Support Routine Modifications for Extensible Link Types</h4>
+
+<p>For link fields in external record types and soft device support to be able
+to use the new link types properly, various changes are required to utilize the
+new Link Support API as defined in the dbLink.h header file and outlined below.
+The existing built-in Database and Channel Access link types have been altered
+to implement the link APIs, so will work properly after these conversions:</p>
+
+<ul>
+
+<li>Make all calls to <tt>recGblInitConstantLink()</tt> unconditional on the
+link type, i.e. change this code:
+
+<pre>
+    if (prec->siml.type == CONSTANT) {
+        recGblInitConstantLink(&amp;prec->siml, DBF_USHORT, &amp;prec->simm);
+    }
+</pre>
+
+into this:
+
+<pre>
+    recGblInitConstantLink(&amp;prec->siml, DBF_USHORT, &amp;prec->simm);
+</pre>
+
+Note that <tt>recGblInitConstantLink()</tt> still returns TRUE if the field was
+successfully initialized from the link (implying the link is constant).<br />
+This change will work properly with all Base releases currently in use.</li>
+
+<li>Code that needs to identify a constant link should be modified to use the
+new routine <tt>dbLinkIsConstant()</tt> instead, which returns TRUE for constant
+or undefined links, FALSE for links whose <tt>dbGetLink()</tt> routine may
+return different values on different calls. For example this:
+
+<pre>
+    if (prec->dol.type != CONSTANT)
+</pre>
+
+should become this:
+
+<pre>
+    if (!dbLinkIsConstant(&amp;prec->dol))
+</pre>
+
+When the converted software is also required to build against older versions of
+Base, this macro definition may be useful:
+
+<pre>
+#define dbLinkIsConstant(lnk) ((lnk)->type == CONSTANT)
+</pre>
+</li>
+
+<li>Any code that calls dbCa routines directly, or that explicitly checks if a
+link has been resolved as a CA link using code such as
+
+<pre>
+    if (prec->inp.type == CA_LINK)
+</pre>
+
+will still compile and run, but will only work properly with the old CA link
+type. To operate with the new extensible link types such code must be modified
+to use the new generic routines defined in dbLink.h and should never attempt to
+examine or modify data inside the link. After conversion the above line would
+probably become:
+
+<pre>
+    if (dbLinkIsVolatile(&amp;prec->inp))
+</pre>
+
+A volatile link is one like a Channel Access link which may disconnect and
+reconnect without notice at runtime. Database links and constant links are not
+volatile; unless their link address is changed they will always remain in the
+same state they started in. For compatibility when building against older
+versions of Base, this macro definition may be useful:
+
+<pre>
+#define dbLinkIsVolatile(lnk) ((lnk)->type == CA_LINK)
+</pre>
+</li>
+
+<li>The current connection state of a volatile link can be found using the
+routine <tt>dbIsLinkConnected()</tt> which will only return TRUE for a volatile
+link that is currently connected. Code using the older dbCa API returning this
+information used to look like this:
+
+<pre>
+    stat = dbCaIsLinkConnected(plink);
+</pre>
+
+which should become:
+<pre>
+    stat = dbIsLinkConnected(plink);
+</pre>
+
+Similar changes should be made for calls to the other dbCa routines.</li>
+
+
+<li>A full example can be found by looking at the changes to the calcout record
+type, which has been modified in this release to use the new dbLink generic
+API.</li>
+
+</ul>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+
+<h3>Constant Link Values</h3>
+
+<p>Previously a constant link (i.e. a link that did not point to another PV,
+either locally or over Channel Access) was only able to provide a single numeric
+value to a record initialization; any string given in a link field that was not
+recognized as a number was treated as a PV name. In this release, constant links
+can be expressed using JSON array syntax and may provide array initialization of
+values containing integers, doubles or strings. An array containing a single
+string value can also be used to initialize scalar strings, so the stringin,
+stringout, lsi (long string input), lso (long string output), printf, waveform,
+subArray and aai (analog array input) record types and/or their soft device
+supports have been modified to support this.</p>
+
+<p>Some examples of constant array and string initialized records are:</p>
+
+<pre>
+  record(stringin, "const:string") {
+    field(INP, ["Not-a-PV-name"])
+  }
+  record(waveform, "const:longs") {
+    field(FTVL, LONG)
+    field(NELM, 10)
+    field(INP, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10])
+  }
+  record(aai, "const:doubles") {
+    field(FTVL, DOUBLE)
+    field(NELM, 10)
+    field(INP, [0, 1, 1.6e-19, 2.718, 3.141593])
+  }
+  record(aSub, "select") {
+    field(FTA, STRING)
+    field(NOA, 4)
+    field(INPA, ["Zero", "One", "Two", "Three"])
+    field(FTB, SHORT)
+    field(NOB, 1)
+    field(FTVA, STRING)
+    field(NOVA, 1)
+    field(SNAM, "select_asub")
+  }
+</pre>
+
+<p>Reminder: Link initialization with constant values normally only occurs at
+record initialization time. The calcout and printf record types are the only
+exceptions in the Base record types to this rule, so it is generally not useful
+to change a const link value after iocInit.</p>
+
+
+<h3>Database Parsing of "Relaxed JSON" Values</h3>
+
+<p>A database file can now provide a "relaxed JSON" value for a database field
+value or an info tag. Only a few field types can currently accept such values,
+but the capability is now available for use in other places in the future. When
+writing to a JSON-capable field at run-time however, only strictly compliant
+JSON may be used (the dbStaticLib parser rewrites relaxed JSON values into
+strict JSON before passing them to the datase for interpretation, where the
+strict rules must be followed).</p>
+
+<p>"Relaxed JSON" was developed to maximize compatibility with the previous
+database parser rules and reduce the number of double-quotes that would be
+needed for strict JSON syntax. The parser does accept strict JSON too though,
+which should be used when machine-generating database files. The differences
+are:</p>
+
+<ul>
+
+<li>Strings containing only the characters <tt><b>a-z A-Z 0-9 _ - + .</b></tt>
+do not have to be enclosed in double-quote characters.</li>
+
+<li>The above rule applies to map keys as well as to regular string values.</li>
+
+<li>The JSON keywords <tt>null</tt>, <tt>true</tt> and <tt>false</tt> (all
+lower-case) will be recognized as keywords, so they must be quoted to use any of
+these single words as a string.</li>
+
+<li>Comments may be used, introduced as usual by the <tt><b>#</b></tt>
+character and extending to the end of the line.</li>
+
+</ul>
+
+<p>A JSON field or info value is only enclosed in quotes when the value being
+provided is a single string, and even here the quotes can be omitted in some
+cases as described above. The following shows both correct and incorrect
+excerpts from a database file:</p>
+
+<pre>
+    record(ai, math:pi) {
+        field(INP, {const: 3.14159265358979})   # Correct
+        field(SIOL, "{const: 3.142857}")        # Wrong
+
+        info(autosave, {            # White-space and comments are allowed
+            fields:[DESC, SIMM],
+            pass0:[VAL]
+        })                          # Correct
+    }
+</pre>
+
+<p>Note that the record, field and info-tag names do <em>not</em> accept JSON
+values, so they follows the older bareword rules for quoting where the colon
+<tt><b>:</b></tt> and several additional characters are legal in a bareword
+string. Only the value (after the comma) is parsed as JSON. The autosave module
+has not been modified to accept JSON syntax, the above is only an example of
+how JSON might be used.</p>
+
+<h3>Echoless comments in iocsh</h3>
+
+<p>The way comments are parsed by the iocsh interpreter has changed. The
+interpreter can be selectively disabled from echoing comments coming from
+a script by starting those lines with '#-' rather than just '#'.</p>
+
+
+<h3>Typed record support methods</h3>
+
+<p>The table of record support functions (rset methods for short) no longer
+has entries of type <tt>RECSUPFUN</tt> (which says: any number and type of
+arguments). Instead, rset methods are now typed by default. The
+<tt>RECSUPFUN</tt> typedef has been deprecated and casts to it as well as
+using the untyped <tt>struct rset</tt> will create compilation warnings.</p>
+
+<p>Existing code (e.g. external record supports) will generate such
+warnings when compiled against this version of Base, but it will work
+without changes.</p>
+
+<p>For a conversion period, the new typed rset definitions are activated
+by defining <tt>USE_TYPED_RSET</tt>, preferably by setting
+<tt>USR_CPPFLAGS += -DUSE_TYPED_RSET</tt> inside a Makefile.
+After activating the new typed rset in this way and making the following
+changes, the result should still compile and work properly against older
+versions of Base.</p>
+
+<p>The first parameter of <tt>init_record</tt> and <tt>process</tt> has been
+changed to <tt>struct dbCommon *</tt>. Record types that use
+<tt>void*</tt> here should be changed to use <tt>struct dbCommon*</tt>, and
+cast the argument to their own <tt>xxxRecord *</tt>.</p>
+
+<p>When compiled against this release, compiler warnings about incompatible
+types for the method pointers should be taken seriously. When compiled
+against older versions of base, such warnings are unavoidable.</p>
+
+<p>Record types written in C++ need to take more drastic measures because of
+the stricter type checking in C++. To remain compatible with older versions
+of base you will need to use something like:</p>
+
+<blockquote><pre>
+#include "epicsVersion.h"
+#ifdef VERSION_INT
+#  if EPICS_VERSION_INT < VERSION_INT(3,16,0,2)
+#    define RECSUPFUN_CAST (RECSUPFUN)
+#  else
+#    define RECSUPFUN_CAST
+#  endif
+#else
+#  define RECSUPFUN_CAST (RECSUPFUN)
+#endif
+</pre></blockquote>
+
+<p>and then replace <tt>(RECSUPFUN)</tt> with <tt>RECSUPFUN_CAST</tt>
+when initializing the rset.
+Further changes might also be needed, e.g. to adapt <tt>const</tt>-ness of
+method parameters.</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2 align="center">Changes made between 3.15.3 and 3.16.0.1</h2>
+
+<h3>Build support for CapFast and dbst removed</h3>
+
+<p>The build rules associated with the CapFast-related tools <tt>sch2edif</tt>
+and <tt>e2db</tt> and the <q>database optimization</q> tool <tt>dbst</tt> have
+been removed, along with the <tt>DB_OPT</tt> build configuration variable.</p>
+
+<h3>compressRecord buffering order</h3>
+
+<p>The compressRecord has a new field <tt>BALG</tt> which can select between
+FIFO (append) and LIFO (prepend) ordering for insertion of new elements. FIFO
+ordering is the default, matching the behviour of previous versions.</p>
+
+<h3>Valgrind Instrumentation</h3>
+
+<p>Valgrind is a software debugging suite provided by many Linux distributions.
+The header valgrind/valgrind.h is now included in, and installed by, Base.
+When included by a C or C++ source file this header defines some macros which
+expand to provide hints to the Valgrind runtime.
+These have no effect on normal operation of the software, but when run using the
+valgrind tool they can help to find memory leaks and buffer overflows.
+Suitable hints have been added to several free-lists within libCom, including
+freeListLib, allowing valgrind to provide more accurate information about the
+source of potential leaks.</p>
+
+<p>valgrind.h automatically disables itself when the build target is not
+supported by the valgrind tool.
+It can also explicitly be disabled by defining the macro <em>NVALGRIND</em>.
+See <em>src/libCom/Makefile</em> for a commented-out example.</p>
+
+<p>As a matter of policy valgrind.h will never be included by any header file
+installed by Base, so its use will remain purely an implementation
+detail hidden from application software.
+Support modules which choose to use valgrind.h are advised to do
+likewise.</p>
+
+<h3>Database Multi-locking</h3>
+
+<p>The IOC record locking code has been re-written with an expanded API; global
+locks are no longer required by the IOC database implementation.</p>
+
+<p>The new API functions center around dbScanLockMany(), which behaves like
+dbScanLock() applied to an arbitrary group of records. dbLockerAlloc() is used
+to prepare a list or record pointers, then dbScanLockMany() is called. When it
+returns, all of the records listed may be accessed (in any order) until
+dbScanUnlockMany() is called.</p>
+
+<p>The Application Developer's Guide has been updated to describe the API and
+implementation is more detail.</p>
+
+<p>Previously a global mutex 'lockSetModifyLock' was locked and unlocked during
+dbScanLock(), acting as a sequencing point for otherwise unrelated calls. The
+new dbLock.c implementation does not include any global mutex in dbScanLock() or
+dbScanLockMany(). Locking/unlocking of unrelated lock sets is now completely
+concurrent.</p>
+
+<h3>Generate Version Header</h3>
+
+<p>A Perl script and Makefile rules have been added to allow modules to generate
+a C header file with a macro defined with an automatically updated identifier.
+This is a VCS revision ID (Darcs, Git, Mercurial, Subversion, and Bazaar are
+supported) or the date/time of the build if no VCS system is in use.</p>
+
+<p>The makeBaseApp example template has been updated with a new device support
+which makes this identifier visible via a lsi (long string input) record.</p>
+
+<h3>epicsTime API return status</h3>
+
+<p>The epicsTime routines that used to return epicsTimeERROR now return a
+specific S_time_ status value, allowing the caller to discover the reason for
+any failure. The identifier <tt>epicsTimeERROR</tt> is no longer defined, so any
+references to it in source code will no longer compile. The identifier
+epicsTimeOK still exists and has the value 0 as before, so most code that uses
+these APIs can be changed in a way that is backwards-compatible with the
+previous return status.</p>
+
+<p>Time providers that have to return a status value and still need to be built
+with earlier versions of Base can define the necessary status symbols like
+this:</p>
+
+<blockquote><pre>
+#include "epicsTime.h"
+
+#ifndef M_time
+/* S_time_... status values were not provided before Base 3.16 */
+#define S_time_unsynchronized epicsTimeERROR
+#define S_time_...whatever... epicsTimeERROR
+#endif
+</pre></blockquote>
+
+<h3>Refactoring of epicsReadline</h3>
+
+<p>The epicsReadline code has been reorganized to allow the commandline history
+editor to be disabled at runtime. The EPICS_COMMANDLINE_LIBRARY build setting
+still selects the preferred editor, but the new <tt>IOCSH_HISTEDIT_DISABLE</tt>
+environment variable can be set at runtime to disable history editing and make
+the IOC or other program use the basic editor instead. This is useful when
+starting and controlling an IOC from another program through its stdin and
+stdout streams since history editors often insert invisible escape codes into
+the stdout stream, making it hard to parse.</p>
+
+<h3>Callback subsystem API</h3>
+
+<p>Added a new macro <tt>callbackGetPriority(prio, callback)</tt> to the
+callback.h header and removed the need for dbScan.c to reach into the internals
+of its CALLBACK objects.</p>
+
+

+<h3>Fix DNS related crash on exit</h3>
+
+<p>The attempt to fix DNS related delays for short lived CLI programs (eg. caget)
+in lp:1527636 introduced a bug which cased these short lived clients to crash on exit.
+This bug should now be fixed.</p>
+
+<h3>Server bind issue on Windows</h3>
+
+<p>When a National Instruments network variables CA server is already running on
+a Windows system and an IOC or PCAS server is started, the IOC's attempt to
+bind a TCP socket to the CA server port number fails, but Windows returns a
+different error status value than the IOC is expecting in that circumstance
+(because the National Instruments code requests exclusive use of that port,
+unlike the EPICS code) so the IOC fails to start properly. The relevent EPICS
+bind() checks have now been updated so the IOC will request that a dynamic port
+number be allocated for this TCP socket instead when this happens.</p>
+
+<h3>Checking Periodic Scan Rates</h3>
+
+<p>Code has been added to the IOC startup to better protect it against bad
+periodic scan rates, including against locales where <q><tt>.</tt></q> is not
+accepted as a decimal separator character. If the scan period in a menuScan
+choice string cannot be parsed, the associated periodic scan thread will no
+longer be started by the IOC and a warning message will be displayed at iocInit
+time. The <tt>scanppl</tt> command will also flag the faulty menuScan value.</p>
+
+
+<h2 align="center">Changes made between 3.15.4 and 3.15.5</h2>
+
+<h3>dbStatic Library Speedup and Cleanup</h3>
+
+<p>Loading of database files has been optimized to avoid overproportionally
+long loading times for large databases. As a part of this, the alphabetical
+ordering of records instances (within a record type) has been dropped. In the
+unexpected case that applications were relying on the alphabetic order, setting
+<tt>dbRecordsAbcSorted = 1</tt> before loading the databases will retain the
+old behavior.</p>
+
+<p>The routine <tt>dbRenameRecord()</tt> has been removed, as it was intended
+to be used by database configuration tools linked against a host side version
+of the dbStatic library that is not being built anymore.</p>
+
+<h3>Launchpad Bug-fixes</h3>
+
+<p>In addition to the more detailed change descriptions below, the following
+Launchpad bugs have also been fixed in this release:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li><a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/epics-base/+bug/1440186">
+    #1440186</a> Crash due to a too small buffer being provided in
+    dbContextReadNotifyCache</li>
+  <li><a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/epics-base/+bug/1479316">
+    #1479316</a> Some data races found using Helgrind</li>
+  <li><a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/epics-base/+bug/1495833">
+    #1495833</a> biRecord prompt groups are nonsensical</li>
+  <li><a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/epics-base/+bug/1606848">
+    #1606848</a> WSAIoctl SIO_GET_INTERFACE_LIST failed in Windows</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Whole-Program Optimization for MS Visual Studio Targets</h3>
+
+<p>When using the Microsoft compilers a new build system variable is provided
+that controls whether whole program optimization is used or not. For static
+builds using Visual Studio 2010 this optimization must be disabled. This is
+controlled in the files configure/os/CONFIG_SITE.Common.windows-x64-static and
+configure/os/CONFIG_SITE.Common.win32-x86-static by setting the variable
+<tt>OPT_WHOLE_PROGRAM&nbsp;=&nbsp;NO</tt> to override the default value
+<tt>YES</tt> that would otherwise be used.</p>
+
+<p>Note that enabling this optimization slows down the build process. It is not
+possible to selectively disable this optimization, when building a particular
+module say; Microsoft's linker will restart itself automatically with the
+<tt>-LTCG</tt> flag set and display a warning if it is asked to link any object
+files that were compiled with the <tt>-GL</tt> flag.</p>
+
+<h3>Add dynamic (variable length) array support to PCAS</h3>
+
+<p>Dynamic array sizing support was added to the IOC server (RSRV) in the
+Base-3.14.12 release, but has not until now been supported in the <q>Portable
+Channel Access Server</q> (PCAS). Channel Access server applications using the
+PCAS may not need to be modified at all; if they already push monitors with
+different gdd array lengths, those variable sizes will be forwarded to any CA
+clients who have requested variable length updates. The example CAS server
+application has been modified to demonstrate this feature.</p>
+
+<p>In implementing the above, the gdd method <tt>gdd::put(const gdd *)</tt> now
+copies the full-sized array from the source gdd if the destination gdd is of
+type array, has no allocated memory and a boundary size of 0.</p>
+
+<h3>Additional epicsTime conversion</h3>
+
+<p>The EPICS timestamp library (epicsTime) inside libCom's OSI layer has
+been extended by routines that convert from <tt>struct tm</tt> to the EPICS
+internal <tt>epicsTime</tt> type, assuming UTC - i.e. without going through
+the timezone mechanism. This solves issues with converting from the structured
+type to the EPICS timestamp at driver level from multiple threads at a high
+repetition rate, where the timezone mechanism was blocking on file access.</p>
+
+<h3>MinGW Cross-builds from Linux</h3>
+
+<p>The build configuration files that allow cross-building of the 32-bit
+win32-x86-mingw cross-target have been adjusted to default to building shared
+libraries (DLLs) as this is now supported by recent MinGW compilers. The 64-bit
+windows-x64-mingw cross-target was already being built that way by default. The
+configuration options to tell the minGW cross-compiler to link programs with
+static versions of the compiler support libraries have now been moved into the
+CONFIG_SITE.linux-x86.<i>target</i> files.</p>
+
+<h3>General Time updates</h3>
+
+<p>The <tt>iocInit</tt> code now performs a sanity check of the current time
+returned by the generalTime subsystem and will print a warning if the wall-clock
+time returned has not been initialized yet. This is just a warning message; when
+a time provider does synchonize the IOC will subsequently pick up and use the
+correct time. This check code also primes the registered event system provider
+if there is one so the <tt>epicsTimeGetEventInt()</tt> routine will work on IOCs
+that ask for event time within an interrupt service routine.</p>
+
+<p>The osiClockTime provider's synchronization thread (which is only used on
+some embedded targets) will now poll the other time providers at 1Hz until the
+first time it manages to get a successful timestamp, after which it will poll
+for updates every 60 seconds as before.</p>
+
+<p>The routine <tt>generalTimeGetExceptPriority()</tt> was designed for use by
+backup (lower priority) time providers like the osiClockTime provider which do
+not have their own absolute time reference and rely on other providers for an
+absolute time source. This routine no longer implements the ratchet mechanism
+that prevented the time it returned from going backwards. If the backup clock's
+tick-timer runs fast the synchronization of the backup time provider would never
+allow it to be corrected backwards when the ratchet was in place. The regular
+<tt>epicsTimeGetCurrent()</tt> API still uses the ratchet mechanism, so this
+change will not cause the IOC to see time going backwards.</p>
+
+<h3>Microsoft Visual Studio builds</h3>
+
+<p>The build configuration files for builds using the Microsoft compilers have
+been updated, although there should be no noticable difference at most sites.
+One extra compiler warning is now being suppressed for C++ code, <tt>C4344:
+behavior change: use of explicit template arguments results in ...</tt> which is
+gratuitous and was appearing frequently in builds of the EPICS V4 modules.</p>
+
+<p>Cross-builds of the windows-x64 target from a win32-x86 host have been
+removed as they don't actually work within the context of a single <tt>make</tt>
+run. Significant changes to the build configuration files would be necessary for
+these kinds of cross-builds to work properly, which could be done if someone
+needs them (email Andrew Johnson before working on this, and see
+<a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5807647/how-do-you-compile-32-bit-and-64-bit-applications-at-the-same-time-in-visual-stu">
+this stack-overflow answer</a> for a starting point).</p>
+
+<h3>Bazaar keywords such as 'Revision-Id' removed</h3>
+
+<p>In preparation for moving to git in place of the Bazaar revision control
+system we have removed all the keywords from the Base source code.</p>
+
+<h3>Linux systemd service file for CA Repeater</h3>
+
+<p>Building this version of Base on a Linux system creates a systemd service
+file suitable for starting the Channel Access Repeater under systemd. The file
+will be installed into the target bin directory, from where it can be copied
+into the appropriate systemd location and modified as necessary. Installation
+instructions are included as comments in the file.</p>
+
+
+<h2 align="center">Changes made between 3.15.3 and 3.15.4</h2>
+
+<h3>New string input device support "getenv"</h3>
+
+<p>A new "getenv" device support for both the stringin and lsi (long string
+input) record types can be used to read the value of an environment variable
+from the IOC at runtime. See base/db/softIocExit.db for sample usage.</p>
+
+<h3>Build rules and DELAY_INSTALL_LIBS</h3>
+
+<p>A new order-only prerequisite build rule has been added to ensure that
+library files (and DLL stubs on Windows) get installed before linking any
+executables, which resolves parallel build problems on high-powered CPUs. There
+are some (rare) cases though where a Makefile has to build an executable and run
+it to be able to compile code for a library built by the same Makefile. With
+this new build rule GNUmake will complain about a circular dependency and the
+build will probably fail in those cases. To avoid this problem the failing
+Makefile should set <tt>DELAY_INSTALL_LIBS = YES</tt> before including the
+<tt>$(TOP)/configure/RULES</tt> file, disabling the new build rule.</p>
+
+<h3>IOC environment variables and build parameters</h3>
+
+<p>The IOC now sets a number of environment variables at startup that provide
+the version of EPICS Base it was built against (EPICS_VERSION_...) and its build
+architecture (ARCH). In some cases this allows a single iocBoot/ioc directory to
+be used to run the same IOC on several different architectures without any
+changes.</p>
+
+<p>There are also 3 new environment parameters (EPICS_BUILD_...) available that
+C/C++ code can use to find out the target architecture, OS class and compiler
+class it was built with. These may be useful when writing interfaces to other
+languages.</p>
+
+<h3>New implementation of promptgroup/gui_group field property</h3>
+
+<p>The mechanism behind the "promptgroup()" field property inside a record type
+definition has been changed. Instead of using a fixed set of choices,
+the static database access library now collects the used gui group names
+while parsing DBD information. Group names should start with a two-digit number
+plus space-dash-space to allow proper sorting of groups.</p>
+
+<p>The include file <tt>guigroup.h</tt> that defined the fixed set of choices
+has been deprecated. Instead, use the conversion functions between index number
+and group string that have been added to dbStaticLib.</p>
+
+<p>When a DBD file containing record-type descriptions is expanded, any
+old-style <tt>GUI_xxx</tt> group names will be replaced by a new-style
+string for use by the IOC. This permits an older record type to be used with
+the 3.15.4 release, although eventually record types should be converted by
+hand with better group names used.</p>
+
+<h3>CA server configuration changes</h3>
+
+<p>RSRV now honors EPICS_CAS_INTF_ADDR_LIST and binds only to the provided list
+of network interfaces. Name searches (UDP and TCP) on other network interfaces
+are ignored. For example on a computer with interfaces 10.5.1.1/24, 10.5.2.1/24,
+and 10.5.3.1/24, setting "EPICS_CAS_INTF_ADDR_LIST='10.5.1.1 10.5.2.1'" will
+accept traffic on the .1.1 and .2.1, but ignore from .3.1</p>
+
+<p>RSRV now honors EPICS_CAS_IGNORE_ADDR_LIST and ignores UDP messages received
+from addresses in this list.</p>
+
+<p>Previously, CA servers (RSRV and PCAS) would build the beacon address list
+using EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST if EPICS_CAS_BEACON_ADDR_LIST was no set. This is no
+longer done. Sites depending on this should set both envronment variables to the
+same value.</p>
+
+<h3>IPv4 multicast for name search and beacons</h3>
+
+<p>libca, RSRV, and PCAS may now use IPv4 multicasting for UDP traffic (name
+search and beacons). This is disabled by default. To enable multicast address(s)
+must be listed in EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST for clients and EPICS_CAS_INTF_ADDR_LIST
+for servers (IOCs should set both). For example:
+"EPICS_CAS_INTF_ADDR_LIST='224.0.2.9' EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST=224.0.2.9".</p>
+
+<p>Please note that no IPv4 multicast address is officially assigned for Channel
+Access by IANA. The example 224.0.2.9 is taken from the AD-HOC Block I range.<p>
+
+<h3>Moved <tt>mlockall()</tt> into its own epicsThread routine</h3>
+
+<p>Since EPICS Base 3.15.0.2 on Posix OSs the initialization of the epicsThread
+subsystem has called <tt>mlockall()</tt> when the OS supports it and thread
+priority scheduling is enabled. Doing so has caused problems in third-party
+applications that call the CA client library, so the functionality has been
+moved to a separate routine <tt>epicsThreadRealtimeLock()</tt> which will be
+called by the IOC at iocInit (unless disabled by setting the global variable
+<tt>dbThreadRealtimeLock</tt> to zero).</p>
+
+<h3>Added dbQuietMacroWarnings control</h3>
+
+<p>When loading database files, macros get expanded even on comment lines. If a
+comment contains an undefined macro, the load still continues but an error
+message gets printed. For this release the error message has been changed to a
+warning, but even this warning can be made less verbose by setting this new
+variable to a non-zero value before loading the file, like this:</p>
+
+<blockquote><pre>
+var dbQuietMacroWarnings 1      <i>iocsh</i>
+dbQuietMacroWarnings=1          <i>VxWorks</i>
+</pre></blockquote>
+
+<p>This was <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541119">Launchpad bug
+541119</a>.</p>
+
+
+<h2 align="center">Changes from the 3.14 branch between 3.15.3 and 3.15.4</h2>
+
+<h3>NTP Time Provider adjusts to OS tick rate changes</h3>
+
+<p>Dirk Zimoch provided code that allows the NTP Time provider (used on VxWorks
+and RTEMS only) to adapt to changes in the OS clock tick rate after the provider
+has been initialized. Note that changing the tick rate after iocInit() is not
+advisable, and that other software might still misbehave if initialized before
+an OS tick rate change. This change was back-ported from the 3.15 branch.</p>
+
+<h3>Making IOC ca_get operations atomic</h3>
+
+<p>When a CA client gets data from an IOC record using a compound data type such
+as <tt>DBR_TIME_DOUBLE</tt> the value field is fetched from the database in a
+separate call than the other metadata, without keeping the record locked. This
+allows some other thread such as a periodic scan thread a chance to interrupt
+the get operation and process the record in between. CA monitors have always
+been atomic as long as the value data isn't a string or an array, but this race
+condition in the CA get path has now been fixed so the record will stay locked
+between the two fetch operations.</p>
+
+<p>This fixes <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/epics-base/+bug/1581212">
+Launchpad bug #1581212</a>, thanks to Till Strauman and Dehong Zhang.</p>
+
+<h3>New CONFIG_SITE variable for running self-tests</h3>
+
+<p>The 'make runtests' and 'make tapfiles' build targets normally only run the
+self-tests for the main <tt>EPICS_HOST_ARCH</tt> architecture. If the host is
+able to execute self-test programs for other target architectures that are being
+built by the host, such as when building a <tt>-debug</tt> version of the host
+architecture for example, the names of those other architectures can be added to
+the new <tt>CROSS_COMPILER_RUNTEST_ARCHS</tt> variable in either the
+<tt>configure/CONFIG_SITE</tt> file or in an appropriate
+<tt>configure/os/CONFIG_SITE.&lt;host&gt;.Common</tt> file to have the test
+programs for those targets be run as well.</p>
+
+<h3>Additional RELEASE file checks</h3>
+
+<p>An additional check has been added at build-time for the contents of the
+configure/RELEASE file(s), which will mostly only affect users of the Debian
+EPICS packages published by NSLS-2. Support modules may share an install path,
+but all such modules must be listed adjacent to each other in any RELEASE files
+that point to them. For example the following will fail the new checks:</p>
+
+<blockquote><pre>
+AUTOSAVE = /usr/lib/epics
+ASYN = /home/mdavidsaver/asyn
+EPICS_BASE = /usr/lib/epics
+</pre></blockquote>
+
+<p>giving the compile-time error</p>
+
+<blockquote><pre>
+This application's RELEASE file(s) define
+	EPICS_BASE = /usr/lib/epics
+after but not adjacent to
+	AUTOSAVE = /usr/lib/epics
+Module definitions that share paths must be grouped together.
+Either remove a definition, or move it to a line immediately
+above or below the other(s).
+Any non-module definitions belong in configure/CONFIG_SITE.
+</pre></blockquote>
+
+
+<p>In many cases such as the one above the order of the <tt>AUTOSAVE</tt> and
+<tt>ASYN</tt> lines can be swapped to let the checks pass, but if the
+<tt>AUTOSAVE</tt> module depended on <tt>ASYN</tt> and hence had to appear
+before it in the list this error indicates that <tt>AUTOSAVE</tt> should also be
+built in its own private area; a shared copy would likely be incompatible with
+the version of <tt>ASYN</tt> built in the home directory.</p>
+
+<h3>String field buffer overflows</h3>
+
+<p>Two buffer overflow bugs that can crash the IOC have been fixed, caused by
+initializing a string field with a value larger than the field size
+(<a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1563191">Launchpad bug
+#1563191</a>).</p>
+
+<h3>Fixed stack corruption bug in epicsThread C++ API</h3>
+
+<p>The C++ interface to the epicsThread API could corrupt the stack on thread
+exit in some rare circumstances, usually at program exit. This bug has been
+fixed (<a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1558206">Launchpad bug
+#1558206</a>).</p>
+
+<h3>RTEMS NTP Support Issue</h3>
+
+<p>On RTEMS the NTP Time Provider could in some circumstances get out of sync
+with the server because the osdNTPGet() code wasn't clearing its input socket
+before sending out a new request. This
+(<a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1549908">Launchpad bug 1549908</a>)
+has now been fixed.</p>
+
+<h3>CALC engine bitwise operator fixes</h3>
+
+<p>The bitwise operators in the CALC engine have been modified to work properly
+with values that have bit 31 (0x80000000) set. This modification involved
+back-porting some earlier changes from the 3.15 branch, and fixes
+<a href="https://code.launchpad.net/bugs/1514520">Launchpad bug
+#1514520</a>.</p>
+
+<h3>Fix <tt>ipAddrToAsciiAsync()</tt>: Don't try to join the daemon thread</h3>
+
+<p>On process exit, don't try to stop the worker thread that makes DNS lookups
+asynchronous. Previously this would wait for any lookups still in progress,
+delaying the exit unnecessarily. This was most obvious with catools (eg.
+cainfo).
+<a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1527636">lp:1527636</a></p>
+
+<h3>Fix <tt>epicsTime_localtime()</tt> on Windows</h3>
+
+<p>Simpler versions of the epicsTime_gmtime() and epicsTime_localtime()
+routines have been included in the Windows implementations, and a new test
+program added. The original versions do not report DST status properly. Fixes
+<a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1528284">Launchpad bug 1528284</a>.</p>
