Core Libraries
Global Variable
- The global values gPad, gVirtualX, gInterpreter, gDirectory and gFile
are now all accessed via a static function of their respective class. The
access is made transparent via a CPP macro.
- The access is now also made transparent from the CINT and python prompt.
- gPad, gVirtualX and gInterpreter are now accessible even when their value
is zero and they now properly support tab completion.
- See the important note in the I/O section on gDirectory and gFile which
are now thread local.
Dictionaries
- The new interface TDictionary::GetDictionary(const char*) offers a
single entry point to query the type based on its name, conveniently combining
TDataType and TClass queries. It does name normalization (removing std etc).
TStyle
-
The Modern style has now a transparent background for the histogram title.
