Dear ROOTers,
I am also experiencing problems with the I/O in version 3.02/06.
Somehow writing of instances of one of my private classes fails with
3.02/06 using the new schema evolution, whereas with the old streamer
method (i.e. no "+" in the Linkdef.h) everything works correctly.
I get the impression that the problem(s) are related to TObject::Clone(),
which uses the I/O streamers as far as I understnad.
I am still investigating things, but I also think that it would be
better to wait a bit before making 3.02/06 the pro version.
Cheers,
Nick.
