 <h1 align="center">xxx Release Notes</h1>
 
+<h2 align="center">Release 5-3</h2>
+<ul>
+<li>xxx/release.pl: Bug fix; "($macro) =" line was wrong.  Support "include"
+entries without a macro.
+<li>xxx/iocBoot/ioc*/*.substitutions: 3.14.9 will require macros in substitution
+files to be enclosed in quotes.  Start now, since it's already legal.
+<li>xxx/iocBoot/iocCygwin/saveData.req: added basename section
+<li>xxx/iocBoot/ioc*: Some databases and autosave-request files in synApps
+have been renamed so that the autosave-request file name can be autogenerated
+easily from the database name, e.g.: <name>.db <--> <name>_settings.req.
+This will permit utils/makeAutosaveFiles.py to work more comprehensively.
+<li>xxx/iocBoot/ioc*/save_restore.cmd: Added modbus, pilatus, and vac to
+requestfile path; Added call to save_restoreSet_UseStatusPVs()
+<li>xxx/iocBoot/ioc*/st.cmd: scans.db was split into standardScans.db and
+saveData.db, so it's easier to load multiple scan databases.
+<li>xxx/iocBoot/ioc*/interp_settings.req: moved to calc module (and modified
+there to agree with current interp database).
+<li>unlisted changes in the build files to agree with changes in synApps. 
+</ul>
