One of the visible features in this development release is a new default style for the canvas graphics. The new style is called Modern and is a synthesis of different custom styles used by several large experiments. This new style is a work in progress, please leave feedback on the forum with your comments on this style. We made Modern the default style to get maximum user exposure, however we are aware that existing scripts might not look as expected as they were designed for the old default style. If you like to continue using the old style, just add the line

Canvas.Style: classic

to your ~/.rootrc file, or add

gROOT->SetStyle("classic")

to your scripts. Here an example (click on images to enlarge):
