Software v2.8.1 released

19 Jun 2021

I’m happy to announce that a new release of the IPbus software suite (i.e. uHAL library and the ControlHub) is now available!

This release fixes an exception-printing bug in Python (introduced in v2.8.0), as well as bringing a few improvements, including allowing for zero-copy access to ValVector<uint32_t> contents in Python (e.g. for use by numpy.array).

Detailed release notes can be found here

You can update from v2.8.0 to this release like so:

sudo yum clean all          # may be necessary
sudo yum groupupdate controlhub uhal

N.B. This release is API and ABI compatible with the last software release (v2.8.0) - i.e. end-users do NOT have to recompile their C++ source code after updating from v2.8.0

Thanks, The IPbus software team
