<li>
On Linux, MacOS X and Windows, there is no need anymore to define the
environment variable ROOTSYS. Internally ROOTSYS is set depending on the
location of the ROOT libraries. ROOTSYS was never needed when ROOT was
configured using --prefix.
</li>
<li>
On MacOS X when configure'ing with --enable-rpath (and not specifying
--prefix) the installation does not need (DY)LD_LIBRARY_PATH to be set
anymore. The installation is completely relocatable. The (DY)LD_LIBRARY_PATH
is determined relative to the location of the root executable.
</li>
<li>
On Windows .root files are now associated with the most recently executed
ROOT installation, i.e. run ROOT once and .root files open with ROOT.

Class TMessageHandler derives now from TQObject and does emit signals.
This allows for easier usage of this class.

<h3>Networking</h3>
<ul>
<li>
TMessage now has schema evolution and TRef (i.e. ProcessID) support. To enable
schema evolution for all messages call
TMessage::EnableSchemaEvolutionForAll(kTRUE).
To enable it only for a specific message call
mess->EnableSchemaEvolution(kTRUE).
The default for schema evolution is off. The streamer and process id
information are send only once per socket (and is supported for all types of
sockets, TSocket, TPSocket and TXSocket). If you communicate between two
ROOT based applications, check the version numbers on both sides. If they
are not the same enable the schema evolution support (in case ROOT objects
are transferred).
