Wanting to move to the latest production release of ROOT, which has been fully tested and run through valgrind. This version has some bug fixes for XROOTD, which is absolutely necessary. 5.16.00 and 5.18.00 both had bugs in xrootd that we cannot live with.
New and interesting additions
See: http://root.cern.ch/root/Version518.news.html
PyRoot has been updated for windows, so that the libPyRoot.pyd file is automatically generated during compilation.
A copy of the source can be found at:
/afs/slac/g/glast/ground/GLAST_EXT/rh9_gcc32/ROOT/root_v5.18.00b.source.tar.gz
or can be obtained through ROOT's Subversion repository. Please note that if building on rh9_gcc32, the xrootd Module.mk file require one slight modification on line 186, to add:
--disable-perlint
Meaning of icons:
- For regular GLAST CMT packages, indicates that the package compiles with the new ROOT, and that any test programs execute properly; the meaning of other check marks depends on what the component is.
? - Not tested
- Doesn't work
