This is a new major release of EPICS Base which has not been used much in operations yet, but the developers believe it to be stable enough for that. External modules written for earlier versions of Base may not build successfully against 3.16.1 or later versions without some changes, see the Release Notes document for information on any necessary changes.
The following documents cover EPICS Base versions 3.16.1 and subsequent patch releases. Additional documentation may be found in the documentation directory of the distribution source code, and in the html directory after successfully building the software.
NOTE: These documents may be revised at any time without notice or generation of a new source release. The Known Problems page will be updated if/when any serious bugs are discovered after release, up until the next patch version of the software is released.
