We are happy to announce the ROOT development release 6.13/02. It is a
preview of the upcoming 6.14. Some of its highlights:
- LZ4 is now the default compression format, accelerating reading by
factors; see e.g. this presentation - New graphics style “ATLAS" - thanks, ATLAS!
- Auto-coloring for TF1 (drawing options PFC, PLC and PMC)
- New color palette “cividis” compatible with color vision deficiency
- Memory footprint reduction and a faster ROOT due to reduced reading of
its PCH - Improved performance of parallelised operations - thread safety has
been enhanced with a read-write lock, also reducing contention during
gROOT and TObject destructions. - I/O support for std::vector with custom allocator.
- C++17 support: you can enable it with the “-Dcxx17=ON” cmake option
- Added templated version TBuffer::WriteObject
- Implement reading of objects data from JSON; new TBufferJSON::ToJSON()
and TBufferJSON::FromJSON() methods - New ROOT::Experimental::TVec allows to spell operations on vector
elements without loops, also in TDataFrame

Thanks to everyone who fixed and reported bugs!
Cheers, Axel,
