Tim Mooney suggested that it's time for a new version of ASYN to be
released. If you have any outstanding changes please let Tim, Mark
Rivers, or me know about them so we can commit them.

Here are the current entries in the release notes for R4-7:
=============================================================
devGpib
Fixed error in GPIBACMD operations.
linuxGpib
Patches from Gasper Jansa to improve option handling.
devEpics
Fixed null pointer dereference for all device support when SCAN=I/O
Intr and asyn port could not be found.
asynRecord
Fixed buffer overflow error when NRRD>40 and IFMT=ASCII.
asynGpib
Read method now sets return status and *eomReason properly.
drvAsynIPPort/drvAsynSerialPort
*eomReason now set to ASYN_EOM_CNT when read count has been satisfied.
Add support for UDP broadcasts. Specify "UDP*" and the network
broadcast address in the port configuration command:

drvAsynIPPortConfigure("L0", "192.168.1.255:1234 UDP*", 0, 0, 0)
drvAsynSerialPort
Full support for new timeout semantics (timeout<0 means "wait forever
for characters to arrive", timeout=0 means "return characters
immediately available", timeout>0 means "return a timeout status if
no characters are received within the specified number of seconds").
