Release R7.0.8.1

The handling of N-to-M array compression was broken with the addition
of the partial buffer option, which broke the bounds check that was
being used.

Note that this also makes the partial buffer option more consistent;
if, for example, you have
```
record(compress, foo) {
  field(ALG, "N to 1 Average")
  field(INP, "bar NPP")
  field(NSAM, 2)
  field(N, 2)
  field(PBUF, YES)
}
```
(with `bar` having, e.g. length 3), then this will now behave as
expected on both of the samples.

+## EPICS Release 7.0.8.1
 
-## Changes made on the 7.0 branch since 7.0.7
+### Limit to `_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2`
 
-### PROC field changed to ASL0
+GCC versions 12 and beyond and glibc have added some aggressive runtime
+checks for buffer overflows in libc functions at runtime, and the
+[Ubuntu 2024.04](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ToolChain/CompilerFlags) release
+increased their default gcc fortification level from 2 to 3.
+This has started causing EPICS Base builds to fail on that version, and
+other OS releases may make that configuration change with similar results.
+This release detects a compiler configured with `_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3` and
+overrides it to 2.
+Later releases of Base will adjust the code, providing information to the
+compiler to avoid triggering these incorrect protections.
 
-The PROC field has been changed from access security level ASL1 to ASL0.
-This allows users to trigger processing a record without having the rights
-to reconfigure the records.
+### Fix issue with compress record
+
+In Base 7.0.8, an update to the compress record was added to allow for certain
+algorithms to use partially filled buffers in their computations. Unfortunately,
+this broke the behaviour of the records in certain cases. This has been fixed.
+
+### Various minor changes
+
+These included fixing minor memory leaks and documentation corrections. The
+`SIZV` field of lsi, lso and printf record VAL fields now can't exceed 32767
+characters, to match an internal limit.
+
+### `epicsSocketAccept()` now returns `SOCKET`, not `int`
+
+This might have some effect on downstream modules still using `int`, but the
+OS-specific osdSock.h headers which osiSock.h includes have all declared
+`SOCKET` (in most casese as a typedef for `int`) for many releases.
+This change removes a compiler warning on WIN32.
+Further details and the discussion about this change can be found
+[here](https://github.com/epics-base/epics-base/pull/458).
+
+### `dbLoadRecords` allows macros with default values
+
+Previously the parser assumed that files containing macro substitutions were
+bad if no macro definitions were provided; that assumption was made incorrect
+once macro substitutions were allowed to provide a default value.
+
+### Hostname length limit in CA removed
+
+Before this release, the CA client library only handled hostnames in address
+list environment variables up to 255 characters long.
+This limit has been removed.

-### epicsEnvShow accepts glob pattern
-
-The optional argument to epicsEnvShow can now be a glob pattern.
-
-### New function `epicsStrnGlobMatch()`
-
-The function `epicsStrnGlobMatch(char* str, size_t len, char* pattern)`
-works exactly the same as `epicsStrGlobMatch()` but takes an additional
-length arguments which limits the number of characters of `str` to match.
-
-### Glob pattern allowed in `var` command
-
-When used with one argument, the `var` command can be used with a glob pattern
-for printing matching variables.
-
-### Fix for input links marked "special"
-
-The calcout record (and a number of synApps record types) marks its input
-link fields with the attribute `special(SPC_MOD)` and provides code in
-the record's `special()` routine to reinitialize the related value field
-whenever the input link field is set to a numeric constant. Unfortunately the
-changes to the link handling code broke this behaviour (reported as Launchpad
-[bug #1824277](https://bugs.launchpad.net/epics-base/+bug/1824277))
-back in the Base 3.16.1 release. This issue has been fixed in Base, although

-### Timeouts for Unit Test Programs
-
-The unit test programs that are run by the `make runtests` or `make tapfiles`
-commands get executed by a `.t` wrapper script which is normally generated by
-the EPICS `makeTestfile.pl` program. Those generated wrapper scripts now
-impose a time-limit on the test program they execute, and will kill it if it
-runs for longer than 500 seconds (8 minutes 20) without exiting. That
-time-limit can be changed for any such test by modifying the Makefile which
-creates and runs the `.t` wrapper script.
-
-Setting the environment variable `EPICS_UNITTEST_TIMEOUT` to the desired
-number of seconds while the Makefile is generating the test script changes the
-timeout in that script. For example:
-
-```
-  TESTSCRIPTS_HOST += hourLongTest.t
-  hourLongTest.t: export EPICS_UNITTEST_TIMEOUT=3600
-```
-
-When selecting such a timeout remember that different Continuous Integration
-systems such as GitHub Actions and Appveyor run on processors with different
-speeds, so allow enough head-room for slower systems to complete the test.
-
-Test programs written directly in Perl as a `.plt` script should implement a
-similar timeout for themselves. The "netget" test in Base does this in a way
-that works on Windows as well as Unix-like hosts.
