One interesting new feature of this release is the ROOT I/O package rewritten in Javascript. This allows the browsing and displaying of histograms in any ROOT file hosted on a web server, without any server side plugins. This is still work in progress (more histogram plotting options, etc.), but an exciting demo can already be seen here [5]. Look at the source of this demo page to see how to use ROOT-IO.js.Note: that there is an reported issue in Safari 5.1.7 that prevents it from working when more than one window or tab is open, there are no problems with Firefox, Chrome and Explorer..
