+            to ADStdDriverParams.h.  This allows a detector driver to use these capture
+            parameters if desired.</li>
+        <li>Removed all of the file I/O records from ADBase.template and ADBase_settings.req.
+            These previously duplicated the records in NDFile.template and NDFile_settings.req,
+            which was hard to maintain.
+            IOCs for detector drivers that can do file I/O now need to load NDFile.template,
+            while those that cannot no longer need to load these records.
+            They also need to have NDFile_settings.req added to auto_settings.req.
+            This does not effect the file plugin support, only drivers that directly
+            do file I/O.</li>
+        <li>Removed the file I/O PVs from ADBase.adl. Added a related display link
+            to NDFile.adl.</li>
+        <li>NDFile.adl now contains only the file related PVs, not the plugin related PVs.
+            The new file NDPluginFile.adl replaces the previous version of NDFile.adl,
+            and contains both the file PVs and the plugin PVs.

       ADArrayCallbacks can be set to 0 to disable callbacks with detector data. For the
       MarCCD and Pilatus detectors setting this to 0 will disable reading the disk files
