asynDriver release 2-1

[Marty Kraimer <mrk@aps.anl.gov>]

Release 2-1 of asynDriver is now available. See

http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/modules/soft/asyn

The major new features are:

   * Connection Management - A framework for connection management is
     provided. It provides the ability to connect/disconnect to/from a
     port or port,addr. It also provides enable/disable and
     autoConnect/noAutoConnect. See the asynDriver for details.
   * devAsyn - Generic device support for connect management for a
     specific device.
   * devAsynGeneric - Generic support for connection management and
     tracing. This support dynamically attaches to a port,addr. Thus
     one set of records and one medm display can be used for all
     devices connected to an ioc.
   * asynOctetRecord - A generic record and medm display that allows
     interactive access to many asynDriver features.
   * asynSyncIO - A synchronous interface to asynDriver. This can be
     used by code, e.g. SNC programs, that are willing to wait instead
     of following an asynchronous model.
