<P>
<U><B>64-bit compatiablity</B></U>
</P>
<P>
64-bit compile problems with the PI E816 and Aerotech Ensemble device drivers
were fixed. Mark Rivers made numerous changes to eliminate all 64-bit compiler
warning messages.
</P>
<U><B>OMS MAXv</B></U>
<P>
Dirk Zimoch (PSI) fixed a bug in the OMS MAXv driver that caused the set_status()
function to overwrite the home switch status in the response string
</P>
<U><B>asyn motor</B></U>
</P>
<UL>
<LI>
Matthew Pearson (Diamond) fixed a bug on Newport XPS and MM4000 asyn motor port
drives that was causing idle polling to interfere with setting positions and
prevented auto save/restore from working.
</LI>
<LI>
The asynMotor device support would leave a motor-in-motion indicator on if the
motor record issued a LOAD_POS command before the 2nd pass of device support
initialization.
</LI>
</UL>
<U><B>Highland Technologies</B></U>
</P>
<P>
Support for the Highland Technologies V540 motor controller has been removed.
</P>
<U><B>Aerotech Ensemble</B></U>
</P>
<UL>
<LI>
Aerotech Ensemble device driver fixes for incorrect Jog speeds, support for a
negative PosScaleFactor parameter and detecting maximum travel limit switch
faults.
</LI>
<LI>
This is the latest release to include the old Ensemble device driver
architecture version. See below.
</LI>

<P>
<U><B>Aerotech Soloist and Ensemble asyn motor support</B></U>
</P>
<P>
Added two new drivers from Aerotech; the Soloist controller and an asyn motor
version of the Ensemble. Since the Ensemble network connection requires period
communication from the host to prevent the Ensemble from closing the network
socket, the Ensemble support based on the old device driver architecture will be
removed after R5-6. The asyn motor architecture supports continuous, periodic
updates; the old architecture does not.
