Bug Fix Release 6.1.1

Resolved Issues

Detector Server
---------------------

1.  [Jungfrau] Cannot start 
    Under some circumstances and not always reproducible, the detector 
    cannot start once it has stopped. Fixed by adding a delay between the 
    stop pulse and the resetting core to give sufficient time to readout and 
    stream out the on.
    Introduced from release 6.0.0.

Minor Release 6.1.0

New or Changed Features

Client
------

1.  Kernel version
    Commandline: kernelversion, API: getKernelVersion

2.  [Jungfrau][Mythen3][Gotthard2][Gotthard][Moench][Ctb]
    Update Kernel
    Commandline: updatekernel, API: updatekernel
    You could damage the detector. Please use with caution.

3.  Update Detector Server (no tftp)
    Commandline: updatedetectorserver, API: updateDetectorServer
    Updates the detector server without using tftp. It also creates a 
    symbolic link to a shorter name and reboots. The API using tftp
    (copydetectorserver) is deprecated.

4.  Update Firmware and Server (no tftp)
    Commandline: update (fewer arguments), API: updateFirmwareAndServer 
    (overloaded) Same as before, except the server is transferred to the 
    detector without tftp. The previous API and command (fewer arguments) 
    using tftp is deprecated.

5.  Update mode in Detector server
    Commandline: udpatemode, API set/getUpdateMode
    One can set detector server to update mode (especially if server and 
    firmware are incompatible that the server cannot start up without errors).
    This mode will limit access to a few operations only needed to update the 
    detector. Setting it will create an empty file (udpate.txt) and resetting
    it will delete the empty file. Ofcourse, command line "--update" will 
    overwrite any file detection and start server in update mode.


Detector Server
---------------

1.  [Gotthard2] speed
    Ensuring dbitpipeline is default when changing speed. This has an effect
    only if dbitpipeline was changed in between.

Resolved Issues

Detector Server
---------------

1.  [Jungfrau][Moench][Ctb] Programming Firmware Failures 
    Firmware programming via software failures are fixed using a new kernel 
    and corresponding changes in server software. Software works with both 
    old and new kernels.

2.  [Gotthard2][Mythen3]  
    Verifies kernel version at server start up.

3.  [Jungfrau]
    Verifies HW2.0 before trying to set read n rows or flip rows.
    Has no effect when not using slsReceiver.

4.  [Eiger]
    Thresholdnotb command loads threshold energy without trimbits, but had 
    a bug in the server that was setting nchip to 0 and further trimval or 
    trim commands would no work reliably. This is fixed now.


Client
------

1.  Receiver Id in the commands in config files were ignored. Fixed.

2.  Execute command now also mentions which module failed.

3.  [Jungfrau][Moench][Ctb] 
    Programming firmware procedure did not delete temporary file created in 
    6.0.0. Fixed.


Receiver
--------

1.  Setting receiver hostname to "none" threw an exception. Fixed.

2.  [Jungfrau]
    Since the server verifies HW2.0 for number of rows before trying to set it, 
    the receiver now does not show incorrect missing packets stemming from this 
    issue.
