Folks,

Release R2-9 of the synApps ipUnidig module is now available.  This is from the release notes at http://cars9.uchicago.edu/software/epics/ipUnidigReleaseNotes.html

- Fixed logic for interrupt callbacks. These were not working correctly if only rising or falling edge interrupts were enabled, both not both. This was a problem in asynPortDriver which is fixed in asyn R4-18, but required a small change to the ipUnidig driver as well. This problem caused the quadEM module to not receive callbacks when used with the ipUnidig. 

- Fixed bug that caused the bo records to be initialized to the value of the bi records. Standard asyn device support does this to support bumpless reboots. This is not desired in the case of the IP-Unidig where the inputs and outputs are independent. This was happening because only one asynPortDriver parameter was being used, rather than separate parameters for input and output. Fixed the problem by defining 3 parameter drvInfo strings: DIGITAL_INPUT, DIGITAL_OUTPUT, and DAC_OUTPUT. The databases were changed to use these drvInfo strings. 

- Updated the documentation, http://cars.uchicago.edu/software/epics/ipUnidigDoc.html, which was out of date, and still referencing the old MPF framework.
