Thanks Andrew!
As my "fallback version" (using 3.13.8 and a vxWorks crate) of the
equipment monitoring for our new receiver (expected early next year)
is done and I never got the 3.15.5 softIoc fully working (probably
due to not fully understanding the asyn/streamdevice part) I'll
give 3.15.6 a try, hoping I can get the EPICS_BASE and INSTALL_LOCATION
sorted out rather than copying too much stuff from the source tree
into the install tree. And I really like having a
base/configure/CONFIG_SITE.local file rather than editing CONFIG_SITE.
Hoping nothing else breaks and takes away my time again :)

should I start over with 3.15.6? - I started with 3.15.5 some
time earlier this year because it was labeled as the latest
stable release (little did I know that a bunch of other upgrades
in other areas would take a lot longer than anticipated - you
know how these things go).
The functional differences between 3.15.5 and 3.15.6 (including a number
of changes pulled from the 3.14 branch) are described in the Release
Notes available at
https://epics.anl.gov/base/R3-15/6-docs/RELEASE_NOTES.html plus there
were a number of bug fixes that didn’t get added to that document (the
list is available at
https://launchpad.net/epics-base/3.15/3.15.6 towards the bottom of the
page should you wish to peruse it). The new stuff is mostly in the “nice
to have” category in that they make it easier to do certain things and
fix a few gotcha’s. I don’t know how much rework you would have to do,
but there are almost 2 years of updates included so I would recommend
using the latest if you can afford to do so.
HTH,
