Description

In the last few years ROOT has continued to consolidate and improve the existing code base and infrastructure. This includes a very smooth transition to SVN that subsequently enabled us to reorganize the existing libraries into semantic packages, which in turn help in improving the documentation. We also continued to improvement performance and reduce memory footprint for example by introducing a way to split vector of pointers or by adding support for decompressing the file data buffer in advance in an additional thread. In this presentation we will discuss these developments as well as many other improvements and our plans for the coming year.
