#7966 Patch Sorensen Added minor fixes found during testing with device
#7958 Major MK3 Chopper Updated communications DLL to v8.7
#7892 Minor DG645 Labels added to readback delays on OPI
#8000 Minor FINS PLC Added support for the remote control of the SANDALS V2 Valve
#7878 Minor Aeroflex Add Local and Remote control buttons for Aeroflex Signal Generator
#6341 Minor Cryogenic SMS PSU Add fully tested funtionality for magnet control
#8010 Minor Beckhoff/TwinCAT Forward max velocity from beckhoff to table of motors
#8039 Patch Beckhoff/TwinCAT Fix typo in velocity forwarding record name
#8031 Minor PEARL Pressure Controller Lock certain PVs when DAE is not in Setup state or Manager mode is off
#8078 Patch Jaws manager Allow adding engineering units to sample/mod gaps and centers

#8111 Patch Beckhoff/TwinCAT Fix axis error ID archiving
#8107 Patch DaqMX support thermocouple channel type
#8152 Minor Motors(all) Move IN_POSITION record to motorstatus.db - this was already loaded by GALIL, LINMOT, MCLEN but not TC
#8159 Minor Beckhoff/TwinCAT Automatically get axis number from controller before IOC startup
#8182 Minor Sorensen PSU Fix power check issue with real furnace and add delay for steps in STOP command to avoid overloading controller

Reflectometry IOC

Ticket Type Change
#7649 Minor Added a new type of read-only parameter which is used to propagate the beam intersect of a component to given motor axes
#5607 Minor Set velocity on all axes before moving, which should help with synchronised moves
#8141 Minor Added a shorthand way of specifying out of beam positions on an IOCDriver

IBEX Client

Configurations

Ticket Type Change
#6047 Minor Added the configuration files needed to support the alignment motor
#8037 Minor Add ability to home even if limit is engaged for Beckhoff/TwinCAT motor controllers
#8039 Patch Changes to the Data Acquisition Electronics can only be altered on the LocalHost

Script Generator

Ticket Type Change
#7843 Major Moved several of the script generator buttons into the right-click menu.
#6922 Minor Steps in the script generator are now read-only once they are being executed, this is to avoid confusion, as updating them once running would not update the running script.
#7932 Minor Prevent users from accidentally modifying the existing script definitions, users can no longer update git repo from script generator. Dialoges improved to notify of dirty repo as well as if are updates available.
#6658 Minor Imporved the readability of generated scripts via action parameter order consistency, action id comments, action section comment
#5124 Minor Added ENUM dropdown support to scripts
#7934 Patch Visually group related buttons together and maximise vertical space for table
#5496 Minor Add option to transfer compatible action parameters when changing script definition.
#6899 Minor Dynamic scripting run button is disabled and an error message is shown to the user if the actions table contains invalid actions.
#6900 Minor Radio buttons were added to allow user to pause or skip on invalid actions whilst running
