art 2.09.02

Bug fix release requested for the following problems:

  • art dictionary checking needs to be updated now that root supports std::array for i/o
  • the linux memory usage collection art does uses a popen(2) call, which breaks Intel Open|SpeedShop, so this will be replaced with an implementation that reads from /proc/<id>/statm directly.

art 2.10.00

  • TFileService gains the ability to switch files on configuration boundaries.  The user will be required to provide a callback which will be called after the file is switched so that they may update their pointers and zero counters.

Feature change proposals

Make  “!” and “-” prefixes for producer labels in paths a configuration error because producers always succeed (except when they throw).

MacOS support

  • High Sierra is now supported by Fermilab but not yet by art
  • There are some issues with the product stack which need to be resolved, once this is done art will officially support High Sierra
  • FYI: Yosemite will be de-supported by Fermilab on Nov. 10th
