-<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/unix.sh
-</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.
-
-<pre>
-/*

- *
- * Simple Objective-C/AppleScript subroutine record

- *    - 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:
- *      record(sub,"setVolume")
- *      {
- *          field(SNAM,"exampleAppleScriptProcess")

 This version of EPICS Base has not been released yet.

-## Changes made on the 3.15 branch since 3.15.8
+## Changes made on the 3.15 branch since 3.15.9

 <!-- Insert new items immediately below here ... -->

+### Support for Apple M1/M2 (arm64) Processors
+
+Thanks to Jeong Han Lee this release comes with build support for Apple's new
+M1 CPUs running macOS, using the target name `darwin-aarch64`.
+
+### Set thread names on Windows
+
+On MS Windows, epicsThread names are made available to the OS and debugger
+using `SetThreadDescription()` if available as well as using the older
+exception mechanism.
+
+### Fix timers on MS Windows for non-EPICS threads
+
+The waitable timer changes in 3.15.9 broke calls to `epicsThreadSleep()` and
+similar routines that used timers (including `ca_pend_event()`) when made from
+threads that were not started using the epicsThread APIs.
+[This problem](https://github.com/epics-base/epics-base/pull/200)
+[has now been fixed](https://github.com/epics-base/epics-base/pull/201).
+
+## Changes made between 3.15.8 and 3.15.9
+
+### Use waitable timers on Microsoft Windows
+
+The `epicsEventWaitWithTimeout()` and `epicsThreadSleep()` functions have
+been changed to use waitable timers. On Windows 10 version 1803 or higher
+they will use high resolution timers for more consistent timing.
+
+See [this Google Groups thread](https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/scheduler-dev/c/0GlSPYreJeY)
+for a comparison of the performance of different timers.
+
+### Build target for documentation
+
+The build target `inc` now works again after a very long hiatus. It now
+generates and installs just the dbd, header and html files, without compiling
+any C/C++ code. This can be used to speed up CI jobs that only generate
+documentation.
+
+### Bug fixes
+
+- The error status returned by a record support's `special()` method is now propagated out of the `dbPut()` routine again (broken since 3.15.0).
+- [gh: #80](https://github.com/epics-base/epics-base/issues/80), VS-2015 and
+later have working strtod()
+- [lp: #1776141](https://bugs.launchpad.net/epics-base/+bug/1776141), Catch
+buffer overflow from long link strings
+- [lp: #1899697](https://bugs.launchpad.net/epics-base/+bug/1899697), Records
+in wrong PHAS order
+
 ### Change to the `junitfiles` self-test build target

 The names of the generated junit xml test output files have been changed
 from `<testname>.xml` to `<testname>-results.xml`, to allow better 
 distinction from other xml files. (I.e., for easy wildcard matching.)

+### Fixes and code cleanups

+C<initHookAfterScanInit> E<mdash> All records and links have been
+initialized but the scan threads and CA server are not running yet, nor
+have CA links been connected up. The initHook C<initHookAfterInitialProcess>
+immediately follows this procssing.
+
+=item RUN
+
+C<initHookAtIocRun> E<mdash> The C<iocRun()> routine has just been called,
+although not necessarily for the first time.
+
+=item RUNNING
+
+C<initHookAfterIocRunning> E<mdash> All remaining initializations have
+taken place, C<interruptAccept> is enabled, the scan threads and CA server
+are running and the IOC is processing records. CA links might not have
+finished connecting though, and sequence programs won't usually have been
+started yet.
+
+=item PAUSE
+
+C<initHookAtIocPause> E<mdash> The C<iocPause()> routine has just been
+called and the IOC is about to suspend operations.
+
+=item PAUSED
+
+C<initHookAfterIocPaused> E<mdash> The CA server, CA link operations and
+the scan threads have been paused and C<interruptAccept> disabled.
+

+
+Note that the order in which records that have the same C<PINI> value get
+processed can be controlled by setting their C<PHAS> field, which is honored
+for C<PINI> processing as well as for regular scanning.

Andrew Johnson	5cddcea829	Change the epicsTimerTest delayVerify failure condition This test verifies timer delays between 1.0 and 3.4 seconds. A test failure now means the measured delay was more than 0.25 seconds different than the request, instead of being 5% of the request. This should now pass on GHA macOS.
