As a follow up on my own message. The version on AFS
for nt4 is the new version and I copied this one.
The packaged version available from the root web site
which indicates to be 25_03 is still 02.

Cheers,

Raimond

We are pleased to announce the final 2.25 release of ROOT (v2.25/03).
This new version contains a number of important new features. Like: 

 * The TFolder class. A TFolder hierarchy provides a named, in memory,
   object store (whiteboard) where objects can be posted. Other classes
   can access the objects in the folders by name (using a "Unix-like"
   naming scheme). Thi whiteboard facility can greatly improve the 
   modularity of an application by minimizing class relationships. 

 * Improvements in the TBrowser. The width of the two main panes can be
   dynamically changed by dragging the bar separating the two panes. This
   new feature is made possible by the new TGSplitter widget.

 * Explicit collection ownership. By calling the new method
   TCollection::SetOwner() you can tell a collection it owns the objects
   stored in it. When an owning collection is cleared or deleted it will
   delete all the objects it contains. 
 
 * New shape TXTRU by R. Hatcher.

 * New class TGenPhaseSpace by V. Filippini.

 * Latest CINT 5.14.50. 
   
 * Several cleanups in the TObject base class. 

 * Many smaller enhancements and bug fixes. See the release notes. 

Note: due to changes in the base classes and a slight change in the
dictionary format all dictionaries need to be regenerated and all
sources need to be recompiled to work with this new version. 

On AFS this version will be available under pro.

The CVS tag of this version is v2-25-final.

Before starting version 2.26 the ROOT team will spend the next two weeks
at the CERN School of Computing in Greece. Depending on the local
connectivity our response time may be severly delayed.

We would like to thank again everybody for their suggestions, bug reports
and contributions.


The ROOT Team,

   Rene Brun & Fons Rademakers.
