Release Notes

R2-0

Moved the repository to Github.
Re-organized the directory structure to separate the driver library from the example IOC application.

R2-1

Added support for the Shamrock spectrographs.
This supports control of grating selection, center wavelength, and slit sizes. It is a separate driver, and is only supported on Windows because Andor does not provide a Shamrock SDK on Linux.
Added support for saving data in Princeton Instruments V3.0 SPE file format with XML footer. This is used to save calibration information from the Shamrock spectrometer. None of the other formats will save calibration information from the SDK, although they do from Solis. TODO BEFORE R2-1 RELEASE:
Fix problem of crashing when exiting the IOC.

R1-9-1 and earlier

Release notes are part of the areaDetector Release Notes.

Future Releases

Add exiting_ flag; statusTask and dataTask should both do while (!exiting_)
