The 3.14 dbExpand program ignored any redefinitions of menus and just kept the first definition that it found. 3.15 uses a stricter dbdExpand.pl program, which annoyingly points out things like that and insists that you correct them (but the result is less likely to do something you weren't expecting to happen).
Ah, don't do that last bit, see below. You probably didn't actually do that with 3.14 either...In the past (using EPICS R3.14.12.x) when we wanted to use custom scan rates, we included a customized version of menuScan.dbd in the source code directory of the IOC project and added 'project_DBD += menuScan.dbd' to the Makefile.
