<h2 align="center">Changes since 3.14.7</h2>

|

<h4>New host targets</h4>
|
||||
<p>Configure files are now available to support the win32-x86-mingw (MinGW C++
|
||||
compiler) and win32-x86-cygwin (WIN32 API with cygwin C++ compiler) host
|

|
||||
targets.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Configure files were also added for linux-x86_64 and solaris-sparc64
|
||||
but these files are for experimental purposes only and to show that we
|
||||
are working on these targets. Currently these two 64 bit targets are not
|
||||
passing our test suite, so they must not be used in production systems.</p>

<h4>Runtime Hardware Address Changes</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>An Extended Device Support mechanism has been introduced which is
|
||||
designed as a safe way to widen the API between iocCore and the device
|
||||
support software it interfaces with. An extended device support can
|
||||
now be notified of changes to a record's hardware address, and is
|
||||
given the chance to approve or reject that change.</p>

|
||||
|
||||
<p>As a result of introducing this notification mechanism, any device
|
||||
support that was capable of handling runtime address changes in prior
|
||||
versions of Base will have to be updated to provide the new interface,
|
||||
since the absence of extended device support is now taken to mean that
|
||||
runtime address changes are not understood by the device support.
|
||||
This requirement is not expected to affect many EPICS sites.</p>

|

<h4>POSIX thread priority scheduling</h4>
|
||||
<p>POSIX thread priority scheduling is now supported. There is a new
|
||||
user option USE_POSIX_THREAD_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING in the CONFIG_SITE
|
||||
configure file for using POSIX thread priority scheduling.
|
||||
For now the default value is NO. This has only been tested
|
||||
on a few versions of linux. On linux, in order, to use real time
|
||||
priorities the option must be set to YES and the ioc must be started with
|
||||
root privilages.</p>

|
||||
|
||||
<h4>VX_DIR</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The definition VX_DIR was removed from configure/RELEASE and moved to
|
||||
configure/os/CONFIG_SITE.Common.vxWorksCommon. The configure/RELEASE* files
|
||||
should contain location definitions for EPICS modules only.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>RTEMS_BASE</h4>
|
||||
<p>The definition RTEMS_BASE (and RTEMS_VERSION) were removed from
|
||||
configure/RELEASE and moved to configure/os/CONFIG_SITE.Common.RTEMS. The
|
||||
configure/RELEASE* files should contain location definitions for EPICS modules
|
||||
only.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>event generator and event receiver record support </h3>
|
||||
<p>The definition RTEMS_BASE (and RTEMS_VERSION) were removed from
|
||||
configure/RELEASE and moved to configure/os/CONFIG_SITE.Common.RTEMS. The
|
||||
configure/RELEASE* files should contain location definitions for EPICS
|
||||
modules only.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>event generator and event receiver record support</h4>
|
||||
All apsEvent specific record support has been removed from base
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>drvTS and apsEvent support</h4>
|
||||
<p>The following files have been removed from base:
|
||||
drvTS.h drvTS.c, egDefs.h egRecord.c egRecord.dbd egeventRecord.c
|
||||
egeventRecord.c egeventRecord.dbd erDefs.h erDefs.h erRecord.c
|
||||
erRecord.dbd ereventDefs.h ereventRecord.c ereventRecord.dbd</p>
|
||||
<p>These are removed from EPICS base. The version that previously came with base
|
||||
was the version that worked with the APS event system. It is available from
|
||||
APS. The version that works with the newer event systems that evolved from
|
||||
the APS system is available from the Swiss Light Source.</p>

||||
|
||||

<h4>task watchdog</h4>
|
||||
<p>It was possible for taskwd (task watchdog) to not detect when some
|
||||
of the standard tasks failed. This is because they were passing
|
||||
their threadid rather than using epicsThreadGetIdSelf.
|
||||
It was possible to call taskwdInsert before the threadid was actually set.</p>

<p>dbLockGetLockId incorrectly always returned 0. dbBkpt (database breakpoint
|
||||
facility) is the only code that needed this. This caused unknown errors

<h4>gpHashLib.c</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The maximum size was initialized to 65636 instead of 65536.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>epicsExport.h</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Add additional cast to prevent 'strict aliaising' warnings.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>iocsh</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I/O redirection from vxWorks startup scripts now works.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>RTEMS</h4>
|
||||
<p>Added support for setting NFS server/mount information from PPCBUG argument
|
||||
strings.</p>
|
||||
<p>rtems_shutdown_executive is now called on IOC exit. On many BSPs this will
|
||||
return control to the bootstrap PROM.</p>
|
||||
<p>Set POSIX TZ environment variable from NVRAM, or failing that, from
|
||||
EPICS_TIMEZONE.</p>
|
||||
<p>Cleaned up support for obtaining network configuration from NVRAM.</p>
|
||||
<p>Added support for some additional boards.</p>
|
||||
<p>Set iocsh prompt from host name.</p>
|
||||
<p>Initialize in-memory filesystem from tar image following executable in
|
||||
bootstrap flash memory. This allows for fully standalone IOCs -- no TFTP/NFS
|
||||
server required.</p>
|
||||
<p>Set IOC_NAME and IOC_STARTUP_SCRIPT environment variables from bootstrap
|
||||
parameters.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>OS X</h4>
|
||||
<p>Builds on Tiger.</p>
|
||||
<p>Readline now used by default.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>dbRecordsOnceOnly</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This new variable which can be controlled using the iocsh <tt>var</tt>
|
||||
command (or by simple assignment in the vxWorks shell) allows users to change
|
||||
the behaviour of <tt>dbLoadRecords()</tt> when it finds a duplicate record
|
||||
definition. The default behaviour has always been to permit multiple record()
|
||||
statements for the same record name when loading record instances, but by
|
||||
setting <tt>dbRecordsOnceOnly</tt> to any non-zero value, duplicates will
|
||||
instead generate an error message instead. It is expected that this will only
|
||||
be used in special circumstances, to detect the presence of unintentional
|
||||
duplicates where it is known that they should not exist.</p>

|

|
||||
<h4>select record</h4>
|
||||
<p>This record now sets and posts monitors on its SELN field indicating which of
|
||||
the inputs was selected, independent of which selection mechanism was selected
|
||||
via the SELM field. This makes it much more useful, especially when the High,
|
||||
Low or Median mechanisms are chosen.</p>

|
||||
|
||||
<h4>macLib</h4>
|
||||
<p>Macro expansions in any program using the macLib facility from libCom can now
|
||||
include a default value which will be used if the macro named is not defined at
|
||||
the moment of substitution. The syntax for this is <tt>$(name=default)</tt> or
|
||||
<tt>${name=default}</tt>. The default string can itself contain other macros
|
||||
like this: <tt>$(name=$(default))</tt>. This feature has actually been present
|
||||
since R3.14.6.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>epicsThreadCreate - vxWorks</h4>
|
||||
<p>On vxWorks epicsThreadCreate returned -1 instead of 0 if a thread could
|
||||
not be created. This is fixed.</p>

|
||||
<h4>errlog</h4>
|
||||
<p>On a powerPC, during iocInit, a crash could occur. In particular the SYNAPPS
|
||||
version of save_restore experienced crashes. This is now fixed.</p>

|
||||
|
||||
<p>192 - concurrency bug in channel access to local DB</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>181 - ca_host_name() now returns the host name of the client, not the
|
||||
host:port of the server</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>161 - issues surrounding manipulation of CA contexts</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>153 - CA (caput) client does not reconnect after server
|
||||
suspend-continue-shutdown cycle</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>111 - non-preemptive clients disconnect if ca_poll() isnt called
|
||||
regularly</p>
|

<h4>portablae ca server</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Mantis entries fixed.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>196 - portable server library intermittent hang on UNIX systems</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>191 - corrupt value when doing a put through portable server (little
|
||||
endian host)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>175 - example portable server array PV 'alan' does not have time stamps</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>gdd (used by portable server)</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Mantis entries fixed.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>211 - GDD: aitConvertStringEnum16 does nothing if
|
||||
pEnumStringTable==NULL</p>
|
||||
|

<h4>RTEMS port</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Added support for setting NFS server/mount information from PPCBUG
|
||||
argument strings.</p>
|

<h4>vxWorks port</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Fixed mantis entry.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>179 -base does not build with vxWorks 6.0</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>225 - On vxWorks epicsThreadCreate returned -1 instead of 0 if a thread
|
||||
could not be created. This is fixed.</p>

<h2 align="center">Changes since 3.14.6</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>selRecord</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The select record type has for a long time made use of a coule of magic
|
||||
numbers (1e+30 and -1e+30) to mean "not a real value", which prevents the record
|
||||
from working properly if one or other of these appears as an actual data value.
|
||||
These have been changed to use +Inf and -Inf or NaN instead, so +/-1e+30 may be
|
||||
used as a data value.</p>

|

|

<h4>ai, ao, dfanout and subroutine Records</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>These record types have been modified to respond better to NaN values as
|
||||
follows: if the VAL field contains a NaN value, the UDF field will be set and an
|

undefined value alarm will be triggered.</p>

<h4>epicsStdlib.h/epicsStrtod()</h4>
|
||||
<p>epicsStdlib.h declares epicsStrtod() which provides a version of
|
||||
strtod which handles NAN/INF on all architectures. All uses of strtod() in
|
||||
base have been converted to use epicsStrtod().</p>

<p>epicsStdlib.h also declares epicsScanFloat() and epicsScanDouble() which
|
||||
replace calls to sscanf with routines which handle NAN/INF on all
|
||||
architectures.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>epicsThreadCreate Stacksize Posix</h4>
|
||||
<p>The posix implementation of epicsThreadCreate now makes pthread
|
||||
calls to set the stack size. The sizes for (small,medium,large) stack
|
||||
sizes are (128K,256K,512K). This is used for at least the following:
|
||||
linux, solaris, HPUX, Darwin). Doing this allows creation of many more
|
||||
threads os most systems.</p>

<p>dbNotifyCancel now waits if the userCallback is active when dbNotifyCancel
|

<h4>CA commandline tools</h4>
|

|

<p>caget and camonitor now have an additional "-s" option to explicitly
|

request server-side string conversion, which - in case of the regular CA

<h4>POSIX signals</h4>
|

|
||||
<p>Signals are blocked in all but the main thread. Applications/drivers
|
||||
which require signal delivery to a subthread will need to be modified.</p>
|

<h4>epicsExit</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Three new functions are implemented: <tt>epicsExit</tt>,
|
||||
<tt>epicsExitCallAtExits</tt>, and <tt>epicsAtExit</tt>. These are similar to
|
||||
<tt>exit</tt> and <tt>atexit</tt>, i.e. they provide the ability to register a
|
||||
function to be called when the process exits. They are provided becase neither
|
||||
vxWorks or win32 properly implement <tt>exit</tt> and <tt>atexit</tt>. Note that
|
||||
they apply to an IOC stopping NOT to a thread exiting.</p>

<h4>epicsStdio and epicsStdioRedirect</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In order to support iocsh redirection of <tt>stdin</tt>, <tt>stdout</tt>, and
|
||||
<tt>stderr</tt>, <tt>epicsStdio.h</tt> defines the following new functions:
