Base Pre-Release Double Feature!

[Andrew Johnson <anj@aps.anl.gov>]

In the last 24 hours I have tagged and released two new versions of
EPICS Base for testing purposes. The final releases of these are planned
to occur by the end of this month, so please test them and report any
problems by the end of next week if possible.

Base-3.14.12.6-pre1
  See http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/base/R3-14/12.php for the download
link and Release Notes.

Base-3.15.5-pre1
  See http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/base/R3-15/5.php for the download
link and documentation.

These releases contain bug-fixes and various minor updates, and should
be compatible with software written for previous releases. See the
published Release Notes for details. Most changes were implemented on
the Base-3.14 branch and then the changes merged up to the Base-3.15 branch.

One new feature that is present in both releases is that PCAS now
supports variable length array monitor updates — thanks to Matej
Sekoranja, Bruce Hill and Ralph Lange for implementing that.

The 3.15 branch does contain a major performance improvement to the IOC
when loading large database files.

Thanks to the EPICS Core Developers for their work on these releases.
