+
+## Changes made on the 7.0 branch since 7.0.8.1
+
+### Allow to load the same alias multiple times
+
+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.
+
+### Allow users to delete previously created records from the database
+
+From this release, record instances and aliases that have already been loaded
+by an IOC can be removed from the database again before the call to iocInit
+by loading a second instance of the named records but using `"#"` in place of
+the record type. Values for the fields are not required or advised, just use
+an empty record body { }. This is useful when a template defines records that
+are not wanted in some IOCs, without having to split or duplicate the original
+template.
+
+For example this will remove the record named "unwanted":
+
+```
+record("#", "unwanted") { }
+```
+
+-----
+

 ```
 
+### PROC field changed to ASL0
+
+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.
+
+### bi "Raw Soft Channel" use MASK
+
+If MASK is non-zero, The raw device support will now apply MASK to the
+value read into RVAL.
+eg. allows extraction of a bit from an input integer.
+
+```
+record(longin, "integer") {
+    field(VAL, "0xff")
+}
+record(bi, "bit1") {
+    field(DESC, "extract bit 1")
+    field(DTYP, "Raw Soft Channel")
+    field(INP , "integer")
+    field(MASK, "0x2")
+    field(ZNAM, "Clear")
+    field(ONAM, "Set")
+}
+```
+
+### ANSI escapes in stderr
+
+ANSI escape charactor sequences may now be printed to the stderr stream.
+These escapes will appear in logs captured from that stream.
+Tools which parse and/or render these logs may need to be adjusted to
+either strip out the escapes, or to translate them into markup.
+(see [ansi2html](https://pypi.org/project/ansi2html/) for example)
+
+### Allow explicit append with `dbRecordsOnceOnly!=0`
+
+Previously setting `dbRecordsOnceOnly!=0` prevented any further changes to a record via a .db file.  eg.
+
+```
+record(ai, "myrec") {}
+```
+
+`dbRecordsOnceOnly!=0` previously disallowed appending fields with either form:
+
+```
+record("*", "myrec") {} # error
+record(ai, "myrec") {}  # error
+```
+
+Beginning with this release, `dbRecordsOnceOnly!=0` allows appending when explicitly intended (when record type is `"*"`).
+
+```
+record("*", "myrec") {} # allowed
+record(ai, "myrec") {}  # error
+```

+### 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
+external record types may require some fixing to ensure they are correctly
+checking for and initializing the link in their `special()` routine.

+### 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.
