This is the new major release series. While the new network protocol pvAccess and its libraries are being used in production systems at a few places, you could still experience surprises. Thorough testing is recommended. The IOC parts (including libCom, Record and Device Support, Database and Channel Access) are a straight development off the 3.15 and 3.16 release series 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. The source code for all release branches of Base can be obtained using git by cloning the URL https://git.launchpad.net/epics-base but note that from 7.0 we are using git submodules, and the PVA modules will be downloaded (automatically) from GitHub, not Launchpad. To check out the 7.0 branch use these commands:
git clone --recursive -b 7.0 https://git.launchpad.net/epics-base 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 upstream Git repository on Launchpad.
