Ancient V4 Design

This page links to various documents for discussion by the EPICS core developers.

Code to implement this stuff doesn't exist yet, and the designs may change!

Note to authors: please use 'V4' at the start of page names for Version 4 documentation, as this makes it clear which wiki pages refer to the new designs just from the page name.

I've started listing some discussion topics for a V4 July Meeting Agenda, feel free to add to these - Andrew Johnson
