Hi,

We are presently considering the use of the Easy CA interface for future needs. A first but very simple test works fine and was quickly performed but we are quite frightened by the warnings within the Epics Web site :

"In practice though if you have problems getting code to work that uses EZCA or if you get unexplained failures or crashes, you will get less help from the EPICS community in debugging the issue than you will if you use the native CA API. The CA API is not hard to use, and EZCA is not maintained as aggressively as the underlying CA library."

So before going further, we would like to know your experience and feeling when considering the use of the E-Z CA interface not only for small tests but for bigger developments having to be reliable and to be used for many years. What would you advice us to do : use the simple E-Z CA package or prefer the more complex (but better maintained ?) Channel Access library ?

Thanks a lot for any comment
