A new patch 5.12.0c will be tagged today. It includes fixes for bugs when merging chains of trees in very special cases and a fix requested by CMS when processing Trees with leaves having very long names.
The date for the development release 5.13/02 is still the same (30 august).

Graphics (Olivier)
=============
- Test libAfterimage (Valeri developments).
- Fix a bug with PS sent on Savannah: one little script is working fine in
interactive mode (the generated PS file is correct), the same code in a
batch program generates a white page.
Other items (not connected to the release):
- Work with Matthieu to finalize his work.
- Timur is coming next Monday.
Math (Lorenzo)
==========
Already in CVS some bug fixes for SMatrix and Mathcore requested by LHCb and CMS.
Still need to do:
- add some extra functions for the vectors in mathcore requested by C. Bernet (CMS).
- add in mathmore a GSL wrapper class for 1D function minimization, which was present in the SEAL version but was not moved to ROOT
- new Chi2 test routine from Daniel
Dict
===
Nothing special foreseen. One important improvement is the subdstantial reduction in size
of the memory occupied by CINT data structures (about a factor 3!)
BASE
===
No major changes planned except the implementation of a $ROOTSYS/etc/systemlogon.C
that will be a nice alternative to most statements in system.rootrc.
PROOF
====
A lot of tuning has been done since the pro release. PROFF is under serious stress test by Alice.
