Go HEP release 0.10

DOI

Release v0.10 is fresh from the oven.

This release brings quite a few improvements in the rootio area:

  • support for ROOT files compressed with LZMA
  • support for ROOT files compressed with LZ4
  • support scanning ROOT trees with branches holding multiple leaves
  • support for ROOT trees holding bool, [X]bool and std::vector<bool>
  • support for ROOT files holding TBranch version 10
  • support for ROOT files holding TBranchElement version 8
  • support for ROOT files holding TH1 version 5
  • support for ROOT trees and branches produced with ROOT-6.12

The rootio/cmd/root-srv command dropped support for Go-1.6 and earlier. Please upgrade to a newer Go version.

In other news, the csvutil/csvdriver and hbook/ntup/ntcsv gained the ability to read remote CSV files (over HTTP.)

AOB

Better support for TStreamerElements and thus the ability to read nested std::vector<std::vector<T>> data or the ability to run root-dump and root-diff on all ROOT files, has started.

Google Summer of Code has started and Go-HEP is part of it, thanks to the CERN-HSF umbrella. Check out the 2 proposals:

Stay tuned.
