The EPICS 7.0.11 release contains a number of bug fixes and new features added since 7.0.10. The changes and additions are described in the Combined Release Notes document linked below. This release also contains hardening fixes for a series of security vulnerabilities that were reported in the Summer of 2026. We have not tested that the CA server (RSRV) in this release can interoperate with older CA client programs, sites upgrading to this release are advised to test it thoroughly before deploying it into production.
