<h2 align="center">Changes between 3.14.10 and 3.14.11</h2>
<!-- Insert new items below here ... -->
<h4>Channel Access command line tool changes</h4>
<p>The caget/caput/camonitor programs in src/catools now use '\' escape
sequences for non-printable characters.</p>
<p>They provide a new option <tt>-F</tt> to set an output field separator
to be used instead of the default space character.</p>
<h4>New functions for escaping non-printables in epicsString.h</h4>
<p>The existing routines used to escape non-printable characters have been replaced
by a new set of functions that are prototyped in the epicsString.h header file:</p>
<pre>int epicsStrnRawFromEscaped(char *outbuf, size_t outsize, const char *inbuf, size_t inlen);
epicsShareFunc int epicsStrnEscapedFromRaw(char *outbuf, size_t outsize, const char *inbuf, size_t inlen);
epicsShareFunc size_t epicsStrnEscapedFromRawSize(const char *inbuf, size_t inlen);</pre>
<p>Both conversion functions take the output buffer (and its size), and the input
buffer (and its size) as argument. They will convert non-printable characters
from/to their '\'-escaped versions. The third function scans a raw input string
and returns the number of characters needed for the escaped version.</p>
<p>The existing function interfaces will be kept for compatibility, but their
further use is deprecated.</p>
<h4>epicsRingBytes</h4>
