New MINOR release 00.12.00

Changes since 00.11.00:
- eq_fct_code can be set in the mapping file. Default fct code stays at 10,
  so it is fully backward compatible.
  (solves issue #4)
- Ported tests to BOOST_AUTO_TEST

New MINOR release 00.11.00

Changes since 00.10.00:

- use D_text instead of D_string, since D_string is limited to 80 characters

New MINOR release 00.10.00

Changes since 00.09.00:

- implement ZeroMQ sending (#12)
- allow setting multiple buffers for D_spectrum, so data for past macro pulses can be requested (#19)
- create locations on the fly if missing (#9)
- only persist D_spectrum if writeable
- allow type override for properties (#21)
- add support for D_xy (#13)

- rework the locking scheme to make the adapter compatible with bidirectional process variables
- use a different RPC number for each test to allow the tests to be run in parallel
- fix DOOCS server shutdown lock-up
- update documentation

New MINOR release 00.09.00

Changes since 00.08.01:

- Added persistency for D_spectrum properties. This resolves #11 partially only, since there is no option to switch it off. I am not sure if that is needed though.
- Catch too long D_arrays and throw an exception.
- move from namespace mtca4u to ChimeraTK
- some fixes for the tests

New PATCH release 00.08.01

Changes since 00.08.00:
- Avoid readAny on empty group, which would cause an exception.

New MINOR release 00.08.00

Changes since 00.07.00:

- necessary update for the latest release of DeviceAccess
- use the ChimeraTK::ReadAnyGroup to determine when to update which DOOCS properties.
- replace the std::reference_wrapper<TransferElement> with a TransferElementAbstractor.
- removed some annoying debug output at startup of the server
- fixed a type confusion between int64_t (aka long int on 64 bit platforms) and long long int. The types are not identical (in the C++ sense) but bit-compatible. ChimeraTK expects int64_t while DOOCS expects long long int.

New MINOR release 00.07.00

Changes since 00.06.03:
- Adapted to the API change in DOOCS 18.11.0
  Minor version change because ABI of the adapter has changed.

New PATCH release 00.06.03

Changes since 00.06.02:

- fixed another uncought exception when converting e.g. an Inf from double to float (was still occurring for D_spectrum)

New PATCH release 00.06.02

Changes since 00.06.01: * commit e9a215fac04ded31daabf661b8bc0c2485b07bd2

- fixed uncought exception when converting e.g. an Inf from double to float
- increased sleep for update loop to 50ms to fix high cpu loads
- Do not stop server (even through assert -> undefined behaviour without Debug flags!) when trying to create a string array. Instead the property is simply ignored and a warning is printed.

New PATCH release 00.06.01

Changes since 00.06.00:

- Temporary roll-back to the periodic update polling instead of the readAny()-based update logic. This is necessary, since the readAny() implementation seems to be too slow for bigger servers like the LLRF server. A proper solution should be found to improve the performance of readAny() for larger number of variables.

New MINOR release 00.06.00

Changes since 00.05.00:

- some necessary changes for the latest DeviceAccess update

- removed template specialisation of updateDoocsBuffer for D_bytearray
- changed update loop to use readAny
- improved tests

New MINOR release 00.05.00

Changes since 00.04.00:

Bug fixes:
- Changed maximal length for properties with history to accomodate the ._HIST extension

Features:
- Creation of D_arrays and D_spectra is now possible.
- D_spectra support configurable start and incement (either from config file or other process variable)

New MINOR release 00.04.00

Changes since 00.03.04:

- added xml variable mapping - still work in progress!
- allow mapping of single variables and entire groups of varibales
- allow settings variables to read_only in mapping
- allow turning off the history in mapping

- reference server with working xml mapping

- removed old, outdated cosade example
- code refactoring and test improvements, some fixes in the build environment

- updated for latest version of the ControlSystemAdapter/DeviceAccess base libraries

New PATCH release 00.03.04

Changes since 00.03.03:
- disable history for properties with names longer than 64 characters, since DOOCS seems not to support this

New PATCH release 00.03.03

Changes since 00.03.02:

No changes! This is a dummy release to increase the version number (required for Debian packaging)

New PATCH release 00.03.02

Changes since 00.03.01:

- renamed project to include the ChimeraTK prefix as used in all other ChimeraTK projects

New PATCH release 00.03.01

Changes since 00.03.00:

- removed Makefile, since it prevents the debian package tools from working and it is redunant as we have cmake now.

New MINOR release 00.03.00

Changes since 00.02.00:

- added history to all variables where supported by DOOCS
- some code cleaning
- use proper version for the so file (including the build version)

New MINOR release 00.02.00

Changes since 00.01.01:

- added support for strings

New PATCH release 00.01.01

Changes since 00.01.00:

- fixes in the build environment
