R1-4-0
This adds two new fields which are used for seeing if the connections to the remote servers are fully working.
The new fields are RRSTS, and ARSTS, which show the read status from the main and auxiliary remote servers, with values that show when a read is: idle, queued, due, or overdue. Also, the ITRIG field is now a pure trigger and no longer signifies a read status.
R1-3-1
This release updates the documentation to mention that there is now a reference central server for the record, alived, located at https://github.com/epics-alive-server/alived .
R1-3-0
The goals for this release:
First, make the record harder to accidentally stop sending messages to the server after IOC boot. The RHOST, RPORT, and HMAG fields no longer allow being changed while the IOC is running.
Second, make it easier to debug or change the address of the remote server software, by adding support for an optional auxiliary server, with new AHOST, APORT, and AADR fields, which are allowed to be changed while the IOC is running. Now testing on new server software can be done (carefully) using active IOCs without affecting the stable server software.
Lastly, I removed the NMVAR field which was used for setting what environment variable specifies the IOC's name, which is normally "IOC", as that was redundant to simply setting IOCNM to the value of an environment variable.
