The EPICS V4 Working Group are pleased to announce the final release of

the latest version of our EPICS V4 software, version 4.3.0.

This release concentrates on making it easy to work with the existing

features of EPICS V4, while using EPICS Base 3.14 IOCs as the control

system foundation. It adds two new interfaces to IOC data, via either

Channel Access or pvAccess, enabling many options for configuring a high

performance and highly functional scientific instrument control

environment. Other features include an easy to use API, improved command

line programs and several example programs.

Two implementations are provided for the main modules, one written in

C++ and the other in Java. The C++ implementation compiles for recent

versions of Linux, MacOS, VxWorks (both 5.5.x and 6.x) and RTEMS, and

requires an installation of EPICS Base 3.14. The Java implementation

requires Java 6 or later, although Java 7 is recommended.

Downloads of both implementations are available from SourceForge:
    https://sourceforge.net/projects/epics-pvdata/files/4.3.0/

More technical details and documentation can be found through the EPICS

V4 project website:

Questions and discussion about the EPICS V4 should be directed to this

EPICS tech-talk mailing list.

Many thanks to everyone who helped develop and test this version of the

software.
