<h2 align="center">Changes between 3.15.2 and 3.15.3</h2>
<!-- Insert new items immediately below here ... -->
<h3>RSRV uses EPICS_CAS_INTF_ADDR_LIST</h3>
<p>RSRV now honors the EPICS_CAS_INTF_ADDR_LIST to bind to only
the provided list of network interface.
Name searches (UDP and TCP) on other network interfaces are ignored.
For example on a computer with interfaces 10.5.1.1/24, 10.5.2.1/24, and 10.5.3.1/24,
setting "EPICS_CAS_INTF_ADDR_LIST='10.5.1.1 10.5.2.1'" will accept traffic
on the .1.1 and .2.1, but ignore from .3.1</p>
<h3>IPv4 multicast for name search and beacons</h3>
<p>libca and RSRV may now use IPv4 multicasting for UDP traffic (name search and beacons).
This is disabled by default.
To enable multicast address(s) must be listed in EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST for clients
and EPICS_CAS_INTF_ADDR_LIST for servers (IOCs should set both).
For example: "EPICS_CAS_INTF_ADDR_LIST='0.0.0.0 224.0.2.9' EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST=224.0.2.9".
</p>
<p>Please note that no IPv4 multicast address is officially assigned for Channel Access by IANA.
The example 224.0.2.9 is taken from the AD-HOC Block I range.<p>
<h3>Make the NTP Time provider optional on VxWorks</h3>
<p>Recent versions of VxWorks (sometime after VxWorks 6) provide facilities for
