+  <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>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>Changes in Makefiles to support the win32-x86-debug architecture.</li>
+      </ul>
+    </li>
+    <li>Drivers
+      <ul>
+        <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>
+      </ul>
