Release Notes

Changes since V2.15 release.

IPAC Driver

Added:

• The configure/RELEASE file now contains the standard EPICS and synApps -include statements for RELEASE.local files.

Changed:

• Various trivial documentation and code formatting updates.

Tip810 - Basic CANbus driver

Changed:

• Fixed a printf() format string in t810Report().

Added:

• When built against EPICS 7.0.4 or later the device support code makes use of the record-specific device support entry table structures that are now being defined inside the record header files. This provides protection against any future changes to the device support entry structure definitions.
