version of this driver in the apex2Src directory in R1-6. It is now fully functional. and should

it should have been all along. The base-class implementation for an EPICS shutter
is now used by default. Changed the drivers to use the virtual function.</li>

<li>Pilatus driver. Added support for camserver saving data in the CBF file format,
which is ~4X smaller than TIFF, and for additional header information in the files
for crystallography. Thanks to Lewis Muir for these additions.</li>
<li>Prosilica driver. Removed support for writing TIFF files using the driver library. This was
a problem because their driver uses an incompatible version of libtiff that conflicts with
the new version used by GraphicsMagick. The driver TIFF writer had no advantage over using the
NDFileTIFF and NDFileMagick plugins, which have more features and can run in their own threads.</li>
