1 Resolved Issues
Compilation
-----------
* Rapidjson compilation with gcc 14
Fixed a compile issue with gcc 14. Same fix in later commits to rapidjson.
Client
------
* getenv("HOME") returning nullptr
When this happens, especially for systemd, it segfaults. Protection
provided by using empty string in this case.
* [Mythen3] Bad channel list for multi module
Exception thrown when loading multi module bad channel file skipping
modules in between. Fixed.
* [Gotthard2] Stopping a blocking acquisition
A check added in v8.0.0 to catch slaves that might be in waiting forever
also catches Gotthard2 25um slaves that might only be in waiting
temporarily. This is fixed with a 50ms sleep before checking again
(upto 1s).
* [Moench] Acquire finished processing call back
New executable 'sls_detector_acquire_zmq' added to listen to all zmq
packets from post processor or external process to signal end of post
processing. Post processor refactoring of zmq socket creation added.
Gui / Callback
--------------
* [Gotthard2] Stopping a blocking acquisition
From the previous issue, call back for acquisition finished status gives
error for inconsistent states. Again, a check every 50ms upto 1s is
added to let go the temporarily waiting slave.
* Different file paths
Fixes file path resetting when different modules have different fpath set.
Receiver
--------
* HDF5 fill value
Fix the fill value to accomodate all datatypes.
Firmware
--------
* [Moench] Overflow with exptime of 0
Fixed overflow when subtracting 1 clock cycle from exptime.
On-board Detector Server
------------------------
* [Moench] Few changes in Server:
- Max shifts of adc clock changed from 240 to 200.
- Fixed overflow when subtracting 2 clock cycles from exptime of 0ms.
- Default readout speed to half speed from quarter.
- Change default ADC phase to 150 for full readout speed.
- Change default vipre_cds dac from 800 to 1280.
* [Mythen3] Change Clk divider from 10 (100MHz) to 20 (50MHz) at startup.
* [Jungfrau] Fix for HW v1.0 boards for unreliable ADC 2
Issues sometimes seen on some HW v 1.0 boards are fixed with phase
relationship of 120 degrees. HW v2.0 boards are not affected.
Documentation
-------------
* Updated troubleshooting documentaion to check links and disable firewall
* Excluded non UTF-8 encoded libzmq documents due to machine dependent
compilation issues.
