-### DBE_PROPERTY event rate changed
+### Reduce symbol and macro pollution from epicsAtomic.h on WIN32
 
-Updating property fields now only post DBE_PROPERTY events if the
+`epicsAtomic.h` no longer pulls in as many unneeded declarations and macros from
+`windows.h`. Prior to this change, including `epicsAtomic.h` at the wrong time
+could result in unexpected compiler errors. Due to the nature of `windows.h`,
+some unneeded declarations are still pulled in, however the number is greatly reduced.
+Code that needs these declarations should explicitly include `windows.h` before `epicsAtomic.h`.
+
+### epicsExport simplifications
+
+`epicsExportAddress()`, `epicsExportRegistrar()` and `epicsRegisterFunction()`
+no longer require to be wrapped in `extern "C" { }` in C++ code.
+
+### New `dbServerStats()` API for iocStats
+
+A new routine provides the ability to request channel and client counts from
+named server layers that implement the `stats()` method, or to get a summary
+of the counts from all registered server layers. A preprocessor macro
+`HAS_DBSERVER_STATS` macro is defined in the `dbServer.h` header file to
+simplify code that needs to support older versions of Base as well.
+
+-----
+
+## EPICS Release 7.0.9
+
+### Core documentation published at ReadTheDocs
+
+The `documentation` directory's `Makefile` can now run various publication scripts including Sphinx and Doxygen to generate formatted documentation that is now being published
+[at docs.epics-controls.org](https://docs.epics-controls.org/projects/base/en/latest/index.html)
+and integrated into the main [EPICS Documentation website](https://docs.epics-controls.org/en/latest/index.html).
+The best place to find out more about these mechanisms is the
+[Contribution Guide](https://docs.epics-controls.org/en/latest/CONTRIBUTING.html)
+although it doesn't currently cover the new processes added to epics-base.
+
+Much of the documentation generated from .dbd.pod files at build time is now
+also being converted into MarkDown (.md) files and installed into the top-level
+`doc` directory. Some users might find it quicker to look up information about a
+record type by opening these files in a text editor intead of opening a browser
+and loading the HTML versions or finding and opening the files from the EPICS
+Documentation site.
+
+### Post monitors from compress record when it's reset
+
+Writing into a compress record's `RES` field now posts a monitor event instead
+of only changing `VAL`. Monitor clients will therefore receive an empty array.
+
+### The AMSG error message propagates through MSS links
+
+A database link with the MSS attribute will now propagate not only SEVR and
+STAT, but also AMSG. This field contains additional information that complements
+STAT. Links with MS or MSI attributes do not propagate STAT, and therefore do
+not propagate AMSG, either.
+
+Channel Access links do not propagate AMSG, regardless of the MSS attribute,
+because the message is not available as Channel metadata.
+
+### Reloading record aliases
+
+Aliases can now be defined more than once as long as they still refer to the
+same record, unless the global variable `dbRecordsOnceOnly` is non-zero.
+This allows database files to be loaded multiple times, even if they contain
+alias definitions.
+
+### `DBE_PROPERTY` event rate changed
+
+Updating property fields now only posts `DBE_PROPERTY` events if the
 field actually changed.
 
-### Allow to load the same alias multiple times
+### Changes to msi related to include paths
 
-Aliases can now be defined multiple times as long as they still refer to the
-same record, unless the shell variable dbRecordsOnceOnly is set.
-This allows to load database files multiple times, even if they contain
-alias definitions.
+There are two changes to `msi` included here.
+
+`msi` now treats files included by .template or .substutiions files in a more
+consistent way: for relative paths, it will always look relative to the current
+working directory if no `-I` flags are passed, and if they are passed then it
+will search for the _relative_ path from each of those flags. That is, the
+following will now find the file `bar.template` located at
+`/some/path/rel/path/bar.template`
+```
+$ cat foo.substitutions
+file rel/path/bar.template {
+ # contents
+}
+$ msi -I /some/path foo.substitutions
+```
+
+Note that this does provide one change from previous behaviour: when opening a
+file from the command line, `msi` will not use the `-I`-specified paths to
+search for the file, but will only work relative to the current working
+directory, consistent with most commandline utilities.

+The pvaClient module was updated to version 4.8.0:
