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 functions for parsing strings into the relevent +sized integer variables: epicsParseLLong(), epicsParseULLong(), epicsParseInt64() +and epicsParseUInt64(). Use the first two for long long and unsigned long long +integer types, and the second two for the epicsInt64 and epicsUInt64 types (the +latter can map to the more common long and unsigned long types on some 64-bit +architectures such as linux-x86_64).
+ +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.
+The IOC server can now bind to a single IP address (and optional port number)
