-  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.

-<BLOCKQUOTE>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.</BLOCKQUOTE>
-
-<H3><A NAME="0_0_2"> What is new in this release?</A></H3>
-<BLOCKQUOTE> Please check the RELEASE_NOTES file in the distribution for
- description of changes and release migration details.</BLOCKQUOTE>
-
-<H3><A NAME="0_0_3"> Copyright</A></H3>
-<BLOCKQUOTE>Please review the LICENSE file included in the
- distribution for legal terms of usage.</BLOCKQUOTE>
-
-<H3><A NAME="0_0_4"> Supported platforms</A></H3>
-
-<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
- 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.</BLOCKQUOTE>
-
-<H3><A NAME="0_0_5"> Supported compilers</A></H3>
-
-<BLOCKQUOTE>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.&lt;host&gt;.&lt;host&gt; if you have
- 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>

-<H3><A NAME="0_0_7"> Host system storage requirements</A></H3>
-
-<BLOCKQUOTE>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.</BLOCKQUOTE>

+### <span id="0_0_1">What is EPICS base?</span>
+
+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.
+
+### <span id="0_0_2">What is new in this release?</span>
+
+Please check the `RELEASE_NOTES` file in the distribution for
+description of changes and release migration details.
+
+### <span id="0_0_3">Copyright</span>
+
+Please review the LICENSE file included in the distribution for legal
+terms of usage.
+
+### <span id="0_0_4">Supported platforms</span>
+
+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.
+
+### <span id="0_0_5">Supported compilers</span>
+
+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.
+
+### <span id="0_0_6">Software requirements</span>
+
+**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 6.8 or later installed if any of your target
+systems are vxWorks systems; the C++ compiler from older versions cannot
+compile recently developed code. 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](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.x or
+4.10.x (4.11 or 5.x are not yet supported).
+
+**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.
+
+### <span id="0_0_7">Host system storage requirements</span>
+
+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.
+
+### <span id="0_0_8">Documentation</span>
+
+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.

+
+### <span id="0_0_12">Building EPICS base (Unix and Win32)</span>
+
+#### 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 &lt;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.
+
+### <span id="0_0_13">Example application and extension</span>
+
+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 &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.
+
+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.
+
+### <span id="0_0_14">Multiple host platforms</span>
+
+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.

-<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 */

-
-<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>
-
-
-<h2 align="center">Changes from the 3.15 branch since 3.15.5</h2>

-<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
