NEW: new development (as of 2001...)
The latest productional version is provided and distributed by T. Birke @ BESSY
dm2k-2.5.3
is a bug-fix-release fixing all known major bugs of
dm2k-2.5.2, most
memory leaks and other problems.
It also has cdev-support
(many thanks to Jie Chen @ JLAB).
So now you can compile dm2k either with pure channel
access or with cdev support.
If compiled with cdev you can access
EPICS-PVs either with their channel name (e.g. "DEVICE:XY:rdbk", due to the
CA-fallback in cdev) or with a
cdev-message
(e.g. "DEVICE:XY monitorOn readback").

PLANS: aims for the near futureThere's an open and growing list of plans/suggestions/wishes that we are trying to realize in the near future. Most of these come from edd/dm-users, and are requirements to make think about switching from edd/dm to dm2k.
If you have any suggestions or wishes and/or are willing to contribute to the development of dm2k, please let me know. If there are enough people interested, I'm willing to make up a mailing-list for diskussion around dm2k.
