- Bruker, Pilatus, marCCD, and mar345 drivers. The driver lock was not being taken
in a few places when the parameter library was being accessed. This could lead to
crashes.
+ - Prosilica driver. Thanks to Jason Abernathy from University of Victoria for these

+ - Implemented connection management. Cameras no longer need to be accessible when
+ the IOC starts up, and can be power-cycled or disconnected and reconnected from
+ the Ethernet without restarting the IOC. If the camera is not accessible when the
+ IOC boots, or is power-cycled then the EPICS output records may not match the actual
+ camera settings and readbacks. They can be made to agree by processing the output
+ record, e.g. by pressing Enter or Return in the medm output widget.
+ - Added new record PSTimestampType which contains the type of time stamp in the
+ NDArrays. Choices are "NativeTicks", "NativeSeconds","POSIX", and "EPICS". Previously
+ the time stamp was always "NativeTicks".
+ - Added new record PSResetTimer which resets the time offset for time stamps.

- Changed the names of the plugin threads from "NDPluginTask" to portName+"_Plugin"
to make them more meaningful.
