Release 6.12/04 - 2017-12-13
Highlights
This is the first version of the v6.12 release branch! (Who likes “00”-releases anyway? And 02 had a fundamental issue fixed right after the tag.)
Here are a couple of the main news items:
- TDataFrame has new operations, e.g. storing a tree into a new file, possibly adding new branches and selecting entries.
- More supported platforms: Xcode 9.2 on MacOS 10.13, new clang, new GCC; partial support for C++17. (Windows: we are getting there, 2018 is the year!)
- Improved multi-threading capabilities: e.g.
TH1::Fit()can evaluate in parallel and supports vectorization. - Invoking root with
root -tenables multi-threaded execution for internal operations - faster results! - Convolution and normalized sums of
TF1s. - Several improvements in TMVA
- auto-coloring (“PFC”, “PLC”, “PMC” options) now also available for
TF1 - list initialization for PyROOT: C++’s
f({"name", "title", 64, -4, 4})(callingvoid f(const TH1F& h)) can now be invoked asf(('name', 'title', 64, -4, 4))in Python. - lots of new supported classes and options in the JavaScript ROOT drawing and I/O library JSROOT.
NOTE that this release has a bug in GL / Eve that will be fixed shortly; see ROOT-9158
