Folks,

I have released a new version (R1-9-1) of the areaDetector module.

The home page is here:
http://cars.uchicago.edu/software/epics/areaDetector.html

The documentation is here:
http://cars.uchicago.edu/software/epics/areaDetectorDoc.html

The release notes are here:
http://cars.uchicago.edu/software/epics/areaDetectorReleaseNotes.html

areaDetector is also available via the APS XOR Subversion repository here:
https://subversion.xor.aps.anl.gov/synApps/areaDetector

This is from the release notes:

- R1-9 does not work with detectors that use TCP socket servers (Pilatus, marCCD, mar345, PSL, and Bruker) because drvAsynIPPort.dbd was not being included. 

- marCCD: Fixed mutex bug introduced in R1-9. 

- commonDriverPlugins.cmd: Added loading yySseq.db for string sequence record. This allows creation of simple acquisition sequences, for example: 
    Close shutter, wait 0.1 seconds 
    Take image (dark current), wait for acquisition to complete
    Open shutter, wait 0.1 seconds 
    Take image 

- Pilatus driver: 
  - Added new HeaderString record which writes a string in the comments of a CBF file. Thanks to Richard Fearn from DLS for this. 
  - Added documentation for the CbfTemplateFile record which was added in R1-8.
