<h1 align="center">synApps 6.1 Release Notes</h1>
<ul>
<P>StreamDevice is now included directly from the PSI repository, it is no longer a wrapper directory around PSI code.
<P>Modules can now install their autosave req files to the top-level db folder by putting REQ += file.req in a makefile
<P>Four new build options at top level; all_adl, all_ui, all_opi, and all_edl. Will search all support modules for files
of the specified type and install them to a top level all_* folder.
<P>Makefile also updated to use each module's RELEASE file to build dependencies. This means that adding a new module to
an existing synApps directory is now as easy as dropping the module in and specifying it's name in the makefile's MODULE_LIST.

<h1 align="center">synApps 6.0 Release Notes</h1>
<ul>
<P>This version of synApps is specifically targeted against epics base 3.15. While the modules will still build against earlier versions of base, the ioc shell scripts provided with the modules may rely on 3.15-specific support.
<P>Modules now can contain an iocsh folder which provide ioc shell scripts to individually load a device onto an IOC. These are designed for use with the iocshLoad function in base and the scripts have comments describing the macros that should be set to use them.

<ul>
<P>This version of synApps is compatible with both base 3.14.12 and 3.15.1. In
the default build, none of the modules take advantage of features in 3.15 that
are not backward compatible with 3.14. Beginning with synApps 6.0, modules will
no longer be required to work with base 3.14.

<P>Note that synApps contains only ADCore and ADBinaries, because those modules require no vendor-supplied support. Other modules are available from <a href="https://github.com/areaDetector/areaDetector">areaDetector on github</a>
<P>The copy in the synApps tar file has been modified:
<ul>
<li>Makefile: "DIRS := $(DIRS) ADBinaries" -> "DIRS := $(DIRS) $(ADBINARIES)", and so on
<li>RELEASE files have all been changed to support synApps "make release"
<li>NDPluginSupport.dbd modified to add a newline to the last line (needed for 3.15.1).

<P>Build notes
<ul>
<li>softGlue 1.1+ doesn't always build correctly when make is run with the "-j"
option (parallel make). The problem is in base/configure/RULES.Db, which uses
the same temporary file name, msi.tmp, for every invocation of msi. Replacing
"msi.tmp" with "$*.tmp" in RULES.Db fixes the problem.
<li>On my solaris machine, apex2Src/Makefile needed the following lines added:
<pre>
# solaris
apex2DetectorApp_LIBS_solaris += NeXus hdf5_cpp hdf5
apex2DetectorApp_SYS_LIBS_solaris += tiff
apex2DetectorApp_LIBS_solaris += jpeg sz z
</pre>
<li>On my linux-x86_64 machine, apex2Src didn't build until I added the following
lines to configure/CONFIG:
<pre>
ifeq (Linux, $(OS_CLASS))
SHARED_LIBRARIES=NO
endif
</pre>
</ul>

<P>The most obvious change is that the directory in which you build
synApps has changed from support/config to support. The support/config
directory is no longer used. support/configure is now used instead.

<P> Modules named '<name>_USE' are examples, split off
from <name> to remove dependencies that are not needed when the modules
are used only to provide support (and not to also implement an example of
that support). For modules that do not have an example, see the xxx module.
<h3>areaDetector</h3>
<blockquote>
New module
</blockquote>
<h3>asyn</h3>
<blockquote>
Switched from version 4.6 to 4.10
</blockquote>
<h3>autosave</h3>
<blockquote>
<h4>4.5</h4>
<ul>
<li> Previously, autosave restored auto_positions.sav and auto_settings.sav
if no save file had been specified in a call to set_pass<i>n</i>_restoreFile().
Now, autosave does not restore anything you don't tell it to restore.
<li>Can now build with tornado 2.2.2.
<li>save_restore.c:write_it() was calling open(), fdopen(), fclose(), and
close(), in that order, and this worked routinely. However, some doc suggests
close() should not be called, and we found a task suspended in the close() call,
so the call has been deleted.
</ul>
<h4>4.4</h4>
<ul>
<li>If file close fails, retry once. (Previously, would retry up to 100 times.)
<li>If file write (including close) fails, retry after save_restoreRetrySeconds
(default value is 60 seconds). Previously, would retry only after the file
system was remounted, or the next time the set was triggered.
<li>New function save_restoreSet_RetrySeconds(int seconds).
<li>Don't copy .sav file to .sav<n> (i.e., don't write sequence files) if .sav
file write failed.
<li>new function save_restoreSet_UseStatusPVs(int ok)
<li>allow save-file name with more than one embedded '.' character.
</ul>

<h4>1.2</h4>
New module
</blockquote>
<h3>calc</h3>
<blockquote>
<h4>2.7</h4>
<ul>
<li>Instead of the genSub record, the calc module now uses the aSub record
in EPICS base (3.14.10 and higher). Thanks to Eric Norum for detailing the
required changes.
<li>transform record exports transformRecordDebug, and calcSupport.dbd names it.
<li>new .adl files yyArrayCalc*.adl
<li>CalcRecord*.adl: deleted link-valid fields, which don't exist for calc record.
</ul>
