=================== RVP9 patch1 ======================

 In some systems, RVP900 does not know the actual
 PW setting in transmitter at the initial powerup or
 reset. The change limits initial PRF to setting safe
 for any pulsewidth.

=================== hdf52iris pipe patch 3 ======================

The hdf52iris pipe is used to convert Opera Data Information Model
HDF5 files into the IRIS (currently just RAW) products.

This version:
 - tollerates some ODIM 2.0 and 2.1 standard violations in files
   generated by other vendors
 - provides improved support of volume scans with sweeps which have
   different set of moments or different range masks. The resulting
   IRIS volume scan is so-called "hybrid-scan" with up to 26 sub-tasks. 

You can mix versions of IRIS and pipes within reason, so you can
install this on a variety of versions.

===================== RCP8 Patch4  ================================

This rcp8 patch is for canbus hardware changed. If you have a new version of
the USB Kvasercan hardware then you have to apply this patch. For an existing
older hardware you don't need this patch. The patch comes with new binary of
rcp8 and a set of Kvasercan rpms.

========================= RVP9 Patch5 ============================

This RVP9 patch5 included of RVP9 patch1 which fixed the problem as
described below:

In some systems, RVP900 does not know the actual PW setting in transmitter at the initial powerup or
reset. The change limits initial PRF to setting safe.

It also fixed other problems as described below:

In some operating settings characterized by exceptionally long trigger
sequences and extended trigger patterns, the start of data acquisition may get delayed due to internal latency up to
several seconds in the system configuration, leading to data time-outs. In addition, transmitter safety may be 
compromised through momentary duty cycle excesses.
  
This SW update restores the legacy behavior of RVP900 in which the symptoms
are mitigated to acceptable level in most widely used run modes.

The coherent WR systems may remain vulnerable, when running long pulse
sequences of randomly distributed transmitted phase. Symptoms get 
amplified when using extended trigger patterns such as use of variable PRFs
with sweeps (PrfSectors).

In addition this patch also addressed the secondary SQI thresholding defect. SecondarySQI doesn't work when "LOG&CSR&SQI&PMI" is
applied in the Z qualitity threshold.
