# pvaClientCPP Module
This document summarizes the changes to the module between releases.
## Release 4.4 (EPICS 7.0.2, Dec 2018)
### API changes to PvaClientMonitor
The create method that had arguments for stateChangeRequester and monitorRequester no longer exists.
### API changes to PvaClientGet, ..., PvaClientMonitor
Previously the pvaClientGet, ..., pvaClientMonitor classes all implemented PvaClientChannelStateChangeRequester(). This method was never called and has been removed.
## Release 4.3 (EPICS 7.0.1, Dec 2017)
### Requires pvDataCPP-7.0 and pvAccessCPP-6.0 versions
This release will not work with older versions of these modules.
### Destroy methods removed
All the destroy() methods have been removed, implementation is RAII compliant.
### API changes to PvaClientMonitor
The second argument of method
static PvaClientMonitorPtr create(
PvaClientPtr const &pvaClient,
epics::pvAccess::Channel::shared_pointer const & channel,
epics::pvData::PVStructurePtr const &pvRequest
);
is now changed to
static PvaClientMonitorPtr create(
PvaClientPtr const &pvaClient,
PvaClientChannelPtr const & pvaClientChannel,
epics::pvData::PVStructurePtr const &pvRequest
);
A new method is also implemented
static PvaClientMonitorPtr create(
PvaClientPtr const &pvaClient,
std::string const & channelName,
std::string const & providerName,
std::string const & request,
PvaClientChannelStateChangeRequesterPtr const & stateChangeRequester,
PvaClientMonitorRequesterPtr const & monitorRequester
);
## Release 4.2 (EPICS V4.6, Aug 2016)
* The examples are moved to exampleCPP.
* Support for channelRPC is now available.
* In PvaClientMultiChannel checkConnected() now throws an exception if connect fails.
## Release 4.1 (EPICS V4.5, Oct 2015)
pvaClient is a synchronous API for pvAccess.
This is the first release of pvaClientCPP.
It provides an API that is similar to pvaClientJava.
