Go HEP release 0.23.0

DOI

Release v0.23.0 is fresh from the oven.

This release contains a couple of groot related features and bugfixes.

groot

groot gained 2 new commands:

$> root2fits -h
root2fits converts the content of a ROOT tree to a FITS (binary) table.

Usage: root2fits [OPTIONS] -f input.root

Example:

 $> root2fits -f ./input.root -t tree

Options:
  -f string
    	path to input ROOT file name
  -o string
    	path to output FITS file name (default "output.fits")
  -t string
    	name of the ROOT tree to convert

$> fits2root -h
fits2root converts the content of a FITS table to a ROOT file and tree.

Usage: fits2root [OPTIONS] -f input.fits

Example:

 $> fits2root -f ./input.fits -t MyHDU

Options:
  -f string
    	path to input FITS file name
  -o string
    	path to output ROOT file name (default "output.root")
  -t string
    	name of the FITS table to convert

Also, many root-xyz commands have been refactored into a simple shim executable that calls into the new groot/rcmd so users (and groot tests) can more easily customize or re-use, say, root-ls, root-dump, … through an API instead of spawning a sub-process. This refactor is especially useful for rcmd.Merge, where users can register their own merge strategy for their own types (by implementing the root.Merger interface.)

groot/rtree can now correctly read multi-leaves branches.

And support for TLeafF16, TLeafD32, TProcessID, TRef, TRefArray, TVector2, TVector3, TLorentzVector and TFeldmanCousins has been added.

hplot

  • fixes for HLine and VLine have been applied: HLine/VLine outside a canvas were incorrectly drawn.

xrootd

  • migration to gokrb5/v8
