Subject: ellFree vs ellFree2

Hi gurus,

I just found that the function ellFree does not exist any more in EPICS base 3.14.11. It has been replaced with a macro and the function ellFree2. Unfortunately, that means that binaries compiled with 3.14.8 cannot run with a 3.14.11 library. Until 3.14.8, the libraries were always backward compatible. (Binary compatible!, not only source code compatible).

I looked for a good reason for this change but I could not find any code in base that calls ellFree2 (expect for the test code). Can someone please tell me what was the reason for this incompatible change?

Dirk
