# Release Notes
|
|
|
|
This document describes the changes that were included in the release of EPICS
|
|
noted below. Release entries are now provided in a separate document for each
|
|
version in the EPICS 7 series, but all are combined into a single page for
|
|
publishing on the EPICS website. Separate release documents are also included
|
|
from the older Base 3.15 and 3.16 series.
|
|
|
|
## 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.
