EPICS 7.0

This is the current major release series. The PVA network protocol is provided by the original pvAccessCPP and helper modules including the QSRV1 server, but many sites are now using the PVXS reimplementation which provides QSRV2. The IOC parts (including libCom, Record and Device Support, Database and Channel Access) have continued developments since the 3.15 and 3.16 releases and need the usual care when migrating applications. Please check the release notes.

Software Download

Tarfiles of released versions of Base can be retrieved from the Base Download area. This is the recommended method for most users as the released versions have been tested and documented.

The source code for all branches of Base can be obtained using git from https://github.com/epics-base/epics-base.git but note that from 7.0 we have been using git submodules for the PVA modules to be downloaded (automatically) from GitHub. To check out the 7.0 branch use these commands:

git clone --recursive -b 7.0 https://github.com/epics-base/epics-base.git base-7.0
cd base-7.0

Continuous Integration

The latest code from the 7.0 series gets built and tested on various operating systems whenever changes are committed to the Git branch.
