Hello everyone,
I planned on upgrading EPICS from 7.0.7 to 7.0.8 in our build system,
but had some errors in our PV access tests.
Apparently, in 7.0.8, the 'pvget my:pv -M json' now returns JSON5:
my:pv:name
{value:42.0,alarm:{severity:0,status:0,message:""},display:{description
:"My PV description"}}
Where before in 7.0.7, it returnd standard JSON:
my:pv:name
{"value":42.0,"alarm":{"severity":0,"status":0,"message":""},"display":
{"description":"My PV description"}}
Was this a conscious choice? I don't see the change in the release
notes. I think for interoperability, standard JSON would be better.
This change was the result of: https://github.com/epics-base/pvDataCPP/pull/93 Further changing to add "-M json5" seems reasonable to me. I will let Andrew say more.
