<h2 align="center">Changes between 3.15.0.1 and 3.15.0.2</h2>
<!-- Insert new items immediately below here ... -->
<h3>Support routines for 64-bit integers</h3>
<p>The libCom library now provides support for 64-bit integer types on all
supported architectures. The epicsTypes.h header file defines epicsInt64 and
epicsUInt64 type definitions for both C and C++ code. The epicsStdlib.h header
also declares the following for parsing strings into the relevent sized integer
variables: Functions epicsParseLLong(), epicsParseULLong() with related macros
epicsScanLLong() and epicsScanULLong(), and the functions epicsParseInt64()
and epicsParseUInt64(). Use the first two functions and the macros for long long
and unsigned long long integer types, and the last two functions for the
epicsInt64 and epicsUInt64 types. Note that the latter can map to the types long
and unsigned long on some 64-bit architectures such as linux-x86_64, not to the
two long long types.</p>
<p>This version does not provide the ability to define 64-bit record fields, the
use of the 64-bit types in the IOC database will come in a later release of
EPICS Base.</p>
<h3>Full support for loadable support modules</h3>
<p>Apparently later versions of Base 3.14 permitted support modules to be loaded
