R0.7.0

This includes two major updates:

1. bulk read failures will no longer bring the IOC into unpredictable states at boot time (instead, we will quit/restart if there is a problem) implemented by @janeliu-slac
2. _RBV readback values will no longer be writable (which had unintuitive consequences for people writing to them) by @KaushikMalapati

In order to actually get the _RBV change, you'll need to build with pytmc at v2.17.0, which is available in pcds_conda starting at pcds-5.9.1.

What's Changed

• ENH: run afs migration modify script on already migrated repo by @ZLLentz in #102
• Adding NO_WRITE ASG by @KaushikMalapati in #103
• BLD: bump ads module version for bulk read workaround by @ZLLentz in #104

New Contributors

• @KaushikMalapati made their first contribution in #103

R0.6.2

What's Changed

• MNT: catch some common issues in TwinCAT misconfiguration by @klauer in #95

Full Changelog: R0.6.0...R0.6.1

R0.6.0

What's Changed

• REF: use pytmc template to generate everything; fix lots of things by @klauer in #86
• pytmc >=2.14.0 now required
• Use pytmc template from upcoming pytmc release to generate:
  • st.cmd
  • Database files
  • Archiver files
• Removes load_plc_databases.cmd - everything is in st.cmd now
• Adds a significant amount of version information to the header
• Removes motion axes from IOC without pragma (*)
• Style-wise, makes macro usage consistent in st.cmd: $()
• Adds ability to easily specify the PLC hostname with an IOC Makefile override
• make build should no longer copy to iocData directories (that can be done with make all or make iocdata)
• Automatically adds a route at PLC startup (optional but enabled by default)
• Automatically determines the task IDs based on the project (-> no more error messages relating to invalid task array indices at boot)
• Automatically sets max parameter count
• Reworks how ads-ioc handles production mode settings: autosave/archive files go to $(IOC_DATA) during IOC boot
  • In development mode, the pre/post scripts are not run
• Adds support for user-specified additional process database files

Full Changelog: R0.5.0...R0.6.0

R0.5.0

New features:

• Handle restarting automatically when the PLC goes offline or is reprogrammed
• Add exceed count monitoring to the task info! Check PVs like $(PREFIX):TaskInfo:1:ExceedCount_RBV and make sure they stay zero! (nonzero = the task has exceeded the allotted processing time that many times)

Bugfixes:

• Fix an issue where DIR/OFF would not be applied properly at motor record startup
