<ul>
<li>General
<ul>
<li>Converted to be compatible with EPICS base 3.14.11.</li>
<li>Converted all databases so that input records are PINI=RUNNING (new) and output
records are PINI=YES (as before) . This change is needed to work with asyn R4-13,
which removes a non-elegant hack in asynPortDriver in asyn 4-11 and 4-12. That hack
worked around the problem in EPICS 3.14.10 and ealier that there was no way to control
the order in which records with PINI=YES processed at iocInit().</li>
<li>Converted to be compatible with asynPortDriver in asyn R4-13, which changes parameter handling.</li>
<li>Changes to support 64-bit architectures, including linux-x86_64. This also required
changes to the synApps modules on which areaDetector applications depend (autosave,
busy, etc.)</li>

<li>Fixed a bug in the Roper driver. There was a buffer overflow problem in the function
that converts C strings to Windows BSTR strings. This would cause the IOC to crash
when saving SPE files with Comment PVs longer than 40 characters.</li>
<li>Many fixes to Windows Firewire driver:
<ul>
<li>Added dropped frame counter.</li>
<li>Fixed timeout problem with acquire times &gt; 1 second.</li>
<li>Fixed logic when acquisition was turned off</li>
<li>Fixed problem with constructor when it encountered a minor error; was
causing capture thread not to be started for some cameras.</li>
<li>Implemented AcquireTime parameter, previously the time could only
be changed via a Firewire feature.</li>
<li>Fixed bug when setting a feature value in non-absolute mode after it was set in
absolute mode.</li>
<li>Removed the ability to change video modes, formats or rates when acquiring
because it is too complex to stop and wait for it to be done.</li>
<li>Report details for all supported Firewire "features" in report() function, called by asynReport() and dbior().</li>
</ul>

<li>Plugins
<ul>
<li>NDPluginROI. Several enhancements. Thanks to Stephen Mudie from the Australian Synchrotron and
John Dobbins from Cornell for the initial versions of these.
<ul>
<li>Added LowClip and HighClip PVs to allow optional clipping to minimum and maximum values.</li>
<li>Added ability to grab a background array and optionally subtract this background from all arrays.</li>
<li>Added centroid calculation in X and Y.</li>
