Abstract After its first release in 2017, EPICS version 7 has been introduced into production at several sites. The central feature of EPICS 7, the support of structured data through the new pvAccess network protocol, has been proven to work in large production systems. EPICS 7 facilitates the implementation of new functionality, including developing AI/ML applications in controls, managing large data volumes, interfacing to middle-layer services, and more. Other features like support for the IPv6 protocol and enhancements to access control have been implemented. Future work includes integrating a refactored API into the core distribution, adding modern network security features, as well as developing new and enhancing existing services that take advantage of these new capabilities. The talk will give an overview of the status of deployments, new additions to the EPICS Core, and an overview of its planned future development.
