The following significant problems have been reported with this version of EPICS Base:

• 64-bit Windows builds may not work with some tool-sets, the code in src/legacy/gdd is not comptible with the LLP64 model that Windows uses for its 64-bit ABI.
• The -x option to the softIoc program loads a standard database that is supposed to be able to exit the running IOC. In this release that causes an assertion failure which prints a stack trace and suspends the program wihout exiting.
