22/10/2010      First check-in of FADctrl. Initial version derived from drsdaq revision 10007.
5/1/2011        First version of amplitude calibration (no secondary calibration, yet). New 'socketmode' command.
13/1/2011       Amplitude calibration data is written to text file.
19/1/2011       Implemented secondary calibration.
21/1/2011       DIM event thread now informed through pipe of new data
23/1/2011       Data can be written to disk in M0 format
24/1/2011       Integrated amplitude calibration into FADBoard class
27/1/2011       Moved OpenOtherSockets() to FADBoard class
2/2/2011        Warning if amplitude calibration missing for data taking
4/2/2011        Fixed exitHandler() being stuck at pthread_join()
11/2/2011       Moved connect() call to thread of FADBoard class
14/2/2011       Moved initialisation commands to Evidence configuration file
18/2/2011   Added 'reconnect' command
28/2/2011       Removed 'static' keywords in FADBoard::ReadLoop()
1/3/2011        Board list can be passed via command line
2/3/2011        Implemented new FAD data format
28/3/2011       Boards with communication error set themselves inactive
29/3/2011       Added Status message service for each board (removed several console messages in turn)
                        Limited update rate of slow control data to 1 second or interval set by 'update'
1/4/2011        Added DIM frequency service
5/4/2011        Added DIM rate service for each board
6/4/2011        Bug fix in internal pipe communication  
4/5/2011        Removed 'daqmode' (had no function). Added 'reset_trigger' and 'runnumber' commands.
                        Event format adapted (ADC data not sent in network byte order anymore).
20/5/2011       Missing pthread_mutexattr_init() in FADBoard constructor caused spurious errors when
                        locking mutex
                        Added cleanup handler to thread in FADBoard class to ensure mutex is unlocked when thread
                        cancelled
25/5/2011       dcm_lock and dcm_ready bits were incorrectly evaluated.
3/6/2011        Raw data files will only contain boards active at the start of the run.
7/6/2011        DIM event service only contains active boards
21/6/2011       Command 'boards' takes 'none as argument
24/6/2011       PLL lock status published as DIM service
7/7/2011        Fixed error in setting the active boards in EventThread()
