As an update on this project. The client part of the library is now working.
So I'd like to ask for feedback from adventurous individuals.
In particular, while the present API exposes (almost) all of the PVA protocol,
I don't consider this API frozen or final in a version 1.0 sense.
I'd like to invite those who have complained about the existing pvAccessCPP
to take a look. There is still time for changes.
The documentation linked below has been updated, and a set of (fairly primitive)
CLI tools is included. This might be a good place to start looking.
