New and interesting additions

That whole mess with hadd should be fixed.
PyRoot improvements
Supposedly as of Root 5.12 there is support for VisualStudio 8
Remote file access improvements - which I think Wilko mentioned some months ago.
Provides interface to fftw as of v5.11

 For hairy details, one can always view the release notes.

Meaning of icons:

(smile) - 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

(sad) - Doesn't work

ROOT Classes

calibRootData (v1r7p7)

(smile)

(smile)

Compiled just fine on Linux and Windows

commonRootData (v2r13)

(smile)

(smile)

Compiled just fine on Linux and windows.  Loaded and used the shared library in CINT.

digiRootData (v9r16)

(smile)

(smile)

Compiled and ran test routine on Linux and Windows.  Loaded and used the shared library in CINT.

mcRootData (v2r20)

(smile)

(smile)

Compiled and ran test routine on Linux and Windows.   Loaded and used the shared library in CINT.

reconRootData (v9r11)

(smile)

(smile)

Compiled and ran test routine on Linux and Windows.  Loaded and used the shared library in CINT.

gcrSelectRootData (v2r1)

(smile)

(smile)

Compiled and ran test routine on Linux and Windows.

General I/O

Can read in ntuples from DC2

 

(smile)

Tested interactively.  Worked without problems on Linux

Can read in ntuples from DC1

 

(smile)

Tested interactively.  Worked without problems on Linux.

Can read in full ROOT tree files generated with 5.10.00 using 5.14.00?

(smile)

(smile)

Tested interactively.  Worked on Linux (did receive too few bytes warning for AcdRecon)

How is hadd?

 

 

 

ROOT I/O Packages

RootConvert (v1r23p1)

(smile)

(smile)

Compiled and ran test routine on Linux

RootIo (v17r28)

(smile)

(smile)

Compiled and ran test routine for writing on Linux and Windows which performs writing.  Running test with reading produced some warning about reading too few bytes for vector<Double32_t> members in AcdRecon which are empty - part of the read job reads in rootTestData files created using v5.10.00.   Fixed**

ntupleWriterSvc (v3r15)

(smile)

(smile)

Compiled and ran test routine on Linux and Windows just fine.

CHECKOUT Packages

GlastRelease (v9r20)

(smile)

 

When compiling Gleam on Linux - ran into a small error with GlastClassify's RootTuple.cxx - needed to include iostream for cerr.   Ran vanilla test_Gleam.exe on both Linux and Window to create a merit ntuple first - that worked fine.  The resulting ntuple was readable in CINT.
Re-ran with full ROOT output and read the resulting files using CINT on both Linux and Windows, worked - did receive warning about "too few bytes" for AcdRecon for both debug and release versions, which is now fixed **

Analysis

PyRoot - does it work?

 

 

Big hairy deal to get it to work on Windows - it required modifying the ROOT.py file in ROOTSYS/bin.  See:  http://root.cern.ch/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=17618&sid=294348839e56fdaa7580b6e65253dc61

RootAnalysis ()

 

 

 

Are there any problems with the standard analysis and plotting tools ?

(smile)

 

Ran tutorials/demo.c in CINT on Windows - ran fine.  Also compiled and ran $ROOTSYS/test, using Makefile.win32 and nmake.  test/stress.exe failed the 8th test (trees split and compression modes) due to an assertion failure - sent message to ROOT forum.  The failure was due to compiling in debug mode and all is fine, see RootTalk Forum:  http://root.cern.ch/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=17519#17519.&nbsp; Ran guitest.exe and that seemed just fine.

This page will change as fixes are made to some problems, and more tests are done.

**Error in <TBuffer::CheckByteCount>: object of class vector<Double32_t> read too few bytes: 26 instead of 46
Viewing Root Forum discussion:  http://root.cern.ch/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1437&highlight=few+bytes+vector
This error message occurs when the AcdRecon m_rowDocaCol has no entries - this is a vector<Double32_t>
David provided ROOT-central a simple example of this problem, and 5.14 has now been patched.  We can obtain the source from ROOT's CVS repository with the branch tag:  v5.14.00-patches
David has compiled and tested this release on linux.  This release has now been built on windows as well.
