EPICS Release 7.0.3

epicsTimeGetCurrent() optimization

Add a fast path to epicsTimeGetCurrent() and related calls in the common case where only the default OS current time provider is registered. This path does not take the global mutex guarding the time providers list, potentially reducing lock contention.

dbEvent tweak Queue size

The size of the queue used by dbEvent to push monitor updates has been slightly increased based on DBR_TIME_DOUBLE to better fill an ethernet frame. This may result in slightly fewer, but larger frames being sent.

mbbo/mbbiDirect number of bits as precision

Report NOBT as "precision" through the dbAccess API. This is not accessible through CA, but is planned to be used through QSRV.
