+A new set of templates has been included in R3.14.5 to -implement a Virtual LINAC in an ioc using databases and -sequence programs. The Virtual LINAC simulates the generation -and transmission of an electron beam down a LINAC. Several -steering coils, BPMs, and other typical accelerator components -are simulated to provide a realistic interaction between the -operator and the "LINAC". Since it is an entirely soft application, -it will work on any platform. An medm display is provided as the -primary GUI. It can also be used to experiment with other CA -client tools.

+Fixed failure occurring if client disconnected while asynchronous PV -attach was outstanding, or, for enumerated native type process variables, -while enumerated string table cache asynchronous IO was outstanding. This -problem does not occur in IOCs because they are not yet based on the portable -server library. This bug was first detected by Ken Evans in the production CA -gateway at the APS.
- -CA's search datagram interval exponential backoff should look like -this:
- -30mS, 60mS, 120mS, 240mS,...
- -Or a similar behavior with higher initial delays resulting from a round -trip time delay estimate greater than 30 mS. However, instead the backoff -delays looked like this
- -30 mS, 30mS, 30mS, 30mS, 30mS, 30mS, 60mS, 120mS, 240mS ...
- -This also impacts what CA does when a channel disconnects or there is a -beacon anomaly ( a new server event). The intent was to start the search -delay for disconnected channels in these situations at 2 seconds but due to -the above bug the delay was more like 64 mS.
- -This bug appears only in earlier versions of EPICS R3.14
