areaDetector Release Notes</h1>

Release 1-9 (XXX-November-2012)</h2>
<ul>
<li>Drivers
<ul>
<li>New Andor3 driver for sCMOS (e.g. Neo and Zyla) cameras from Andor. This uses
Version 3 of the Andor Software Development Kit (SDK).
Orginal version was written by Phillip Sorensen from Cornell University.
It runs on 32-bit and 64-bit Linux and 32-bit and 64-bit Windows.</li>
</ul>
<li>ImageJ Viewer
<ul>
<li>Upgraded CAJ from 1.1.5 to 1.1.10, and JCA from 2.3.2 to 2.3.6. This fixes a problem
on some platforms (e.g. Windows 7 64-bit) where the display viewer would occasionally
stop receiving CA monitor callbacks, and so the display would freeze until the PVs
were disconnected and reconnected.</li>
<li>The previous version of CAJ did not require setting EPICS_CA_MAX_ARRAY_BYTES,
because it would increase the receive buffer size to whatever was required. This
is no longer true, so EPICS_CA_MAX_ARRAY_BYTES must be set to at least the size
of the largest array to be displayed.</li>
<li>The previous version of CAJ required setting the EPICS Channel Access parameters
in a JCALibrary.properties file. The parameters could not be set from the normal
environment variables (e.g. EPICS_CA_MAX_ARRAY_BYTES, EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST, etc.)
used by the IOC and C language clients. The new versions of CAJ and JCA now support
a Java system property called "jca.use_env". If this is set to "true" then it enables
the use of the normal EPICS environment variables. This is very convenient, since
there is now a single place to set the CA parameters for IOCs, C clients, and Java
clients. </li>
<li>EPICS_AD_Display now sets "jca.use_env=true" before it initializes CAJ, enabling
the use of the normal EPICS environment variables.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Fixes to allow building on Darwin. Thanks to Lewis Muir for these.</li>
</ul>
