for avoiding overflow when binning. Fixed problem when a single color is extracted
from a color image; it now removes the unused dimension and changes the colorMode
to mono.
- - NDPluginColorConvert. Added conversions from mono to RGB, RGB2, and RGB3, and from RGB1,
- RGB, and RGB3 to mono. Previously this plugin only built on Linux and WIN32. Now it builds and
- does all conversions except Bayer on all architectures. Bayer conversion is restricted to
- Linux and WIN32.

+ Example IOCs
+
+ - Greatly simplified the st.cmd and auto_settings.req files for each IOC. This was
+ done by creating two new files: iocBoot/commonPlugins.cmd and iocBoot/commonPlugin_settings.req.
+ These files define a common set of plugins that are loaded for all example IOCs.
+ They load all of the plugins except the NDPluginStdArrays plugin, because that plugin
+ needs to have its data type and waveform size matched to the specific detector.

+ medm screens
+
+ - Created medm screen "components" which are used in actual screens via the "composite
+ file" mechanism wherever possible. This simplifies the maintenance of the medm screens
+ for detectors and plugins.

- it was told to start displaying before any frames had been acquired by the IOC.
