RE: Lowest compatible version of asyn for base 3-15.9

[Mark Rivers via Tech-talk <tech-talk@aps.anl.gov>]

Hi Tim,

 

The lastest versions of asyn should still work fine with older versions of base.  I have tried to maintain backwards compatibility with old versions of base.  This is discussed in the release notes for versions R4-37 and R4-38.

https://epics-modules.github.io/master/asyn/R4-42/RELEASE_NOTES.html

 

I just tested that the latest master branch of asyn builds fine with base 3.15.5.

 

Are you having problems building or using the latest version of asyn with base 3.15?

 

Mark

Hi,

 

Is there a suggested version of asyn I can use if I’m not using base 7 but the latest base 3.15?

 

I see in the latest releases that a lot of the overloads for are using richer type ints that are only served by base 7.

e.g. FtypeUINT64

Kind Regards
