Release 6.26/00 - 2022-03-03

Retracted

Due to a security vulnerability, this version of ROOT has been retracted; please upgrade to v6.26/14.

Highlights

The major new features of v6.26 are:

  • RooFit now comes with way nicer python interfaces and automatic GPU acceleration!
  • Try distributed RDataFrame: many physicists already use it to run RDataFrame-based analyses in parallel on clusters. It now supports Dask, which means it runs virtually anywhere you want.
  • Experimental RDataFrame::Vary() for systematic variations within the same event loop, with a wonderful, simple interface.
  • SOFIE can take your trained ONNX model and generate blazingly fast C++ code from it, depending only on BLAS.
  • TBrowser is now using ROOT’s new web-based graphics and GUI! You can always switch back, but we’d love to hear your feedback!

Git

The entire ROOT source can be obtained from our public Git repository:

git clone https://github.com/root-project/root.git

The release specific tag can be obtained using:

cd root
git checkout -b v6-26-00 v6-26-00

Windows

Windows 10/7/… are supported. We offer two packaging types:

  • exe: a regular Windows installer package also setting up the required environment variables. With uninstall via “Control Panel” / “Add or Remove Programs”. Simply download and start. You can double-click ROOT to run it; ROOT files get registered with Windows.
  • tar: unpack e.g. with 7zip. Start ROOT in a Microsoft Visual Studio Prompt (in Start / Programs / Microsoft Visual Studio / Tools). If you installed ROOT to C:\root then call C:\root\bin\thisroot.bat before using ROOT to set up required environment variables.

Important installation notes

  • You must download the binary built with the exact same version of Visual Studio than the one installed on your system.
  • Do not untar in a directory with a name containing blank characters.
  • Take the release version if performance matters.
  • If you want to debug your code you need the ROOT debug build (you cannot mix release / debug builds due to a Microsoft restriction).
