<ul>
<li><p>iocBoot/iocCygwin/* -- Added examples for loading databases,
specifying autosave PV's, and invoking SNL programs, for orientation matrix,
femto amplifier, and pf4dual slit.
<li><p>pseudoMotor.db, sumDiff2D.db, and coordTrans2D.db are now in the motor
module, and not in xxx.  This affects some substitution files in iocBoot/ioc*.
<li><p>Some synApps databases used to specify input/output message terminators,
and no longer do this.  Message terminators must be specified in serial.cmd.

mooney committed
27 28 29 
<li>Modified substitutions files in iocBoot/ioc* to enclose in quotes any macro
substitutions that themselves contain macro arguments (i.e., X=$(Y) -> X="$(Y)").
This will be required in EPICS 3.13.9.
