<h2 align="center">Changes between 3.14.12 and 3.14.12.1</h2>
<p>This release only contains changes that fix bugs or add build configuration
files for new or updated target architectures. No new functionality has been
added, and as this is a patch release the software has not gone through as
rigorous a testing regime as it does for a normal minor release.</p>
<h4>Launchpad Bugs Resolved</h4>
<p>The following are links to bugs in the Launchpad bug tracker that have been
fixed in this release:</p>
<ul>
<li>693534
<a href="https://launchpad.net/bugs/693534">
errlog causes crash on IOC exit</a></li>
<li>701673
<a href="https://launchpad.net/bugs/701673">
Large array problem in 3.14.12</a></li>
<li>717252
<a href="https://launchpad.net/bugs/771252">
local caput causes ioc crash on win32</a></li>
<li>750549
<a href="https://launchpad.net/bugs/750549 ">
epicsTime has non-portable c++ static initialization</a></li>
<li>753137
<a href="https://launchpad.net/bugs/753137">
Makefile dependency checking of database files is broken</a></li>
</ul>
<h4>New/Updated target architectures</h4>
<p>The following target architectures have been added or updated:</p>
<dl>
<dt>vxWorks-mpc8548</dt>
<dt>vxWorks-mpc8548-debug</dt>
<dd style="margin-bottom: 1ex">This PowerPC CPU is used on the Emerson MVME4100
VME CPU board (from Ernest Williams, SLAC).</dd>
<dt>vxWorks-ppc32</dt>
<dt>vxWorks-ppc32sf</dt>
<dt>vxWorks-ppc32-debug</dt>
<dt>vxWorks-ppc32sf-debug</dt>
<dd style="margin-bottom: 1ex">New generic 32-bit PowerPC targets for vxWorks
6.x, using hardware or software floating-point. These targets can be used
instead of the CPU-specific ppc603, ppc604, mpc8540 and mpc8548 targets (and
their _long alternatives, these targets are all compiled with the -mlongcall
flag) to reduce the number of distinct build targets needed when supporting
multiple PowerPC board types.</dd>
<dt>ios-386</dt>
<dt>ios-arm</dt>
<dd style="margin-bottom: 1ex">Updated for iOS 4.3, which is now the default OS
version (from Tom Palaia, ORNL).</dd>
</dl>
<h4>RTEMS TFTP filesystem</h4>
<p>Use the new mount API to initialize TFTP on newer RTEMS versions.</p>
<h4>C++ build issues on older Solaris compiler</h4>
<p>Dirk Zimoch reported some problems building with an older SUNWspro C++
compiler which have been resolved where possible.</p>
<h4>FreeBSD broadcast problem</h4>
<p>The <tt>ifreq_size</tt> macro in freebsd/osdsock.h must be different in BSD
4.4.</p>
<h4>Thread exit synchronization</h4>
<p>When finished waiting for a thread to exit, signal the event in case other
threads are waiting also.</p>
<h4>Win32 osdTime provider fix</h4>
<p>Jeff Hill fixed the last time compare in PLL drift factor update loop.</p>
<h4>Errlog can lose messages</h4>
<p>Systems that generate large numbers of errlog messages or have a slow message
listener could overwrite older messages in the message buffer after the buffer
wraps. This also corrects and annotates the test code to describe what's being
checked.</p>
<p>When the IOC is shutting down, the errlog thread should process all queued
messages before it quits.</p>
<h4>Back-slash escapes for Win32</h4>
<p>Stephen Norum pointed out the need for various Perl scripts to escape
back-slash characters in Windows file paths.</p>
<h4>catools on Windows</h4>
<p>Windows 7 does not properly support line-mode buffering of stdio streams; the
catools programs used this mode to ensure that they could be used in pipelines,
but in Windows 7 they became fully buffered and are not flushed when the program
exits, so buffering of stdout has now been completely disabled on Windows.</p>
