YES for R3.13 compatability files to be created and installed.
You will need to set COMPAT_313 to YES if you want R3.13 ioc
applications or R3.13 extensions built with this R3.14 base.
If you wish to build only R3.13 extensions and not R3.13 ioc
applications with this R3.14 base, you can install scripts
needed by the R3.13 build by doing a gnumake in the
<base>/config/tools directory.

<h4>APS Virtual LINAC Templates</h4>
<p>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.</p>
<p>To install the templates, use the following commands:</p>
<pre>
mkdir <top>
cd <top>
&lt;base&gt;/bin/&lt;arch&gt;/makeBaseApp.pl -t vlinac vlinac
&lt;base&gt;/bin/&lt;arch&gt;/makeBaseApp.pl -i -t vlinac vlinac
</pre>

<h4>Stringin record time-stamp soft device support</h4>
Add simple device support for converting time to nicely-formatted string using
INP field as epicsTimeToStrftime format string:
