  • Most new features were covered in a talk given at the Vancouver EPICS

meeting in May.

  • In addition:

– The PINI field can now be one of

  • NO, YES

Original meanings

  • RUN, RUNNING

Process before/after DB and CA server activated

  • PAUSE, PAUSED

Process before/after IOC deactivated

Other Changes in R3.14.11

  • We don’t use SIGALRM any more

– Was causing problems with some external libraries on Linux

Other Changes in R3.14.11

  • We don’t use SIGALRM any more

– Was causing problems with some external libraries on Linux

  • All cross-arch builds now depend on the host-arch build

– Needed to properly support parallel building (make -j option) – If your applications don’t compile on the host-arch, your Makefiles must specify the OS’s that each product should be built for – Set PROD_IOC_vxWorks or LIBRARY_IOC_vxWorks instead of the generic

  • I deleted some stuff from dbDefs.h

– The macros YES and NO have gone

  • Use the menuYesNo.h enumerations instead

– You might have to add #include <errlog.h> for some external source files to compile with this version

  • Other headers deleted too, but errlog.h is the most common
