| 6 | + |
| 7 | +List of fixes included in this public patch to release 4.0, to be added on |
| 8 | +top of patch-01: |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | + o Config: |
| 11 | + ------ |
| 12 | + - liblist.c: added flags __CYGWIN__ and __CYGWIN32__ for triggering proper |
| 13 | + parsing algorithm on Windows systems, also on most recent versions of |
| 14 | + Cygwin. |
| 15 | + - WIN32-VC.gmk: use g77 instead of f77 as default fortran compiler. |
| 16 | + - sys/HP-aCC.gmk: removed include path to |
| 17 | + global/management/include/std/wrappers, which was unused and not |
| 18 | + necessary. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | + o Decay processes: |
| 21 | + --------------- |
| 22 | + - Removed a physics table from G4Decay. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | + o Electromagnetic processes: |
| 25 | + ------------------------- |
| 26 | + - Fixed bug in G4Ve(h)EnergyLoss, G4VMuEnergyLoss: |
| 27 | + o Adopt MinDeltaCut in-range instead of in-energy ! |
| 28 | + - G4VEnergyLoss: |
| 29 | + o Set subSecFlag to false. NO default subcutoff generation. |
| 30 | + o Set finalRange to 1mm as default (the actual value is computed in |
| 31 | + G4VeEnergyLoss, G4VhEnergyLoss and G4VMuEnergyLoss). |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | + o Event: |
| 34 | + ----- |
| 35 | + - Optimised implementation of SetNewValue() in G4ParticleGunMessenger and |
| 36 | + G4GeneralParticleSourceMessenger to allow porting on WIN32-VC for optimised |
| 37 | + compilation. |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | + o Geometry: |
| 40 | + -------- |
| 41 | + - Management: |
| 42 | + o G4GeometryManager.cc: fixed handling of ios manipulators and precision |
| 43 | + to reset to their original state in G4GeometryManager::ReportVoxelStats(). |
| 44 | + Fixes problem report #343. |
| 45 | + - Volumes: |
| 46 | + o G4GeometryMessenger.cc: fixed local variable name not to clash with |
| 47 | + class data member. |
| 48 | + - solids/Boolean: |
| 49 | + o G4ReflectionFactory.cc: fixed bug causing repetition of daughter volumes. |
| 50 | + o G4ReflectedSolid[.hh.cc]: |
| 51 | + - Defined new methods Set/GetTransform3D() and Set/GetDirectTransform3D() |
| 52 | + for defining/accessing the reflected transformation. |
| 53 | + o Moved utility methods for G4AffineTransform to protected. |
| 54 | + - solids/BREPS: |
| 55 | + o Bug fixes to G4BREPSolidPolyhedra: |
| 56 | + - Added enhancement allowing to define RMIN and RMAX to be zero with the |
| 57 | + exception of forbidden two consecutive zero RMAX values. |
| 58 | + - Refactoring in constructor gained two new private methods for creation |
| 59 | + of trapezoidal and triangular side planes of G4BREPSolidPolyhedra. |
| 60 | + - Rewritten code for delta phi >= 2*PI case with full classification of |
| 61 | + possible cases. |
| 62 | + - Fixed sense of end planes. |
| 63 | + - Fixed delta phi < 2*PI case where some old code remained after bug |
| 64 | + fix #266. |
| 65 | + - Added new private method for creation of planar surfaces gained |
| 66 | + after code refactoring in constructor. |
| 67 | + - Fixed bug for problem report #354 by adding the code handling the |
| 68 | + cases where user supplies for the same z-section different RMIN or |
| 69 | + RMAX values. |
| 70 | + - Added more preconditions checks |
| 71 | + - Added code forbidding "teeth" in polyhedra. |
| 72 | + o G4ConvexHull.hh: moved initialisation of 'next' to constructor's body. |
| 73 | + - solids/CSG: |
| 74 | + o G4Sphere.cc: bug-fix in Inside() function. Fixes problem report #216. |
| 75 | + o G4Para.cc: fixed bug in G4Para::Inside() in calculation of xt, |
| 76 | + according to problem report #357. |
| 77 | + - solids/STEPinterface: |
| 78 | + o G4RepresentationRelationshipCreator.cc: fixed unsafe usage of |
| 79 | + '<' operator. |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | + o Hadronic processes: |
| 82 | + ------------------ |
| 83 | + o Fixes in pre-equilibrium and de-excitation generator models. |
| 84 | + o Fixed bug in doppler broadening in neutron-transport model: |
| 85 | + - Fixed sign error in calculation of effective luminosity. |
| 86 | + o Stopping: trivial bug-fix in pi-absorption at rest. |
| 87 | + o Util: |
| 88 | + - Trivial bug-fix, affecting K-absorption at rest. |
| 89 | + - G4Nucleus: moved definition of constructors/destructor from header to |
| 90 | + source implementation file. Unresolved symbols were detected at link |
| 91 | + time on SUN-CC for static constants used to initialise members in |
| 92 | + inline constructors. |
| 93 | + o CHIPS model: fixed accuracy problem. |
| 94 | + o Optimised implementation in G4Fancy3DNucleus.cc to allow porting on |
| 95 | + WIN32-VC for optimised compilation. |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | + o Interfaces: |
| 98 | + ---------- |
| 99 | + - Fixed for odd behavior of G4UIcsh in Windows systems. |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | + o Materials: |
| 102 | + --------- |
| 103 | + - Optimised implementation of GetIndex() for fIndexTable in G4Material, |
| 104 | + G4Element and G4Isotope. |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | + o Particles: |
| 107 | + --------- |
| 108 | + - Fixed bug in the decay table for G4KaonMinus. |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | + o Track & Tracking: |
| 111 | + ---------------- |
| 112 | + - track: |
| 113 | + o Added G4Track::CopyTrackInfo(). |
| 114 | + o Optimised G4ParticleChange::AddSecondary() to properly use touchable |
| 115 | + handles. |
| 116 | + o Fixed a bug of changing parent weight in |
| 117 | + G4ParticleChange::UpdateStepForAlongStep(). |
| 118 | + o Optimised implementation in G4Track::GetVelocity(). |
| 119 | + - tracking: |
| 120 | + o G4SteppingManager2.cc: |
| 121 | + - fix for extra steps when the ApplyCuts flag is set |
| 122 | + - G4SteppingManager.hh: changed scope for 'SizeOfSelectedDoItVector' |
| 123 | + to allow porting on WIN-VC compiler. |
| 124 | + o Fix in G4SteppingManager::SetInitialStep() for applyCuts. |
| 125 | + |
| 126 | + o Visualization: |
| 127 | + ------------- |
| 128 | + - HepRep: added check for missing hierarchy layers in HepRepXMLWriter. |
| 129 | + - Bug fix in modeling: removed Begin/EndPrimitives from G4HitsModel and |
| 130 | + G4TrajectoriesModel. This was causing nested calls to Begin/EndPrimitives |
| 131 | + (and thus to glNewList/EndList in OpenGL stored mode), since the |
| 132 | + trajectories and hits Draw methods themselves have Begin/EndPrimitives. |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | + o Examples: |
| 135 | + -------- |
| 136 | + - extended/electromagnetic/testem1,3,4,5: |
| 137 | + o Improvements in PrimaryGenerator and macros |
| 138 | + - novice/N03: |
| 139 | + o New macros for tutorials/exercises. |
| 140 | + |
