|---|
| 33 | o Event: |
|---|
| 34 | ----- |
|---|

|---|
| 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. |
|---|

|---|
| 66 | after code refactoring in constructor. |
|---|
| 67 | - Fixed bug for problem report #354 by adding the code handling the |

|---|
| 69 | RMAX values. |
|---|
| 70 | - Added more preconditions checks |
|---|
| 71 | - Added code forbidding "teeth" in polyhedra. |

|---|
| 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 | |

| 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 |

|---|
| 96 | |
|---|
| 97 | o Interfaces: |
|---|
| 98 | ---------- |
|---|

|---|
| 100 | |
|---|
| 101 | o Materials: |
|---|
| 102 | --------- |
|---|
| 103 | - Optimised implementation of GetIndex() for fIndexTable in G4Material, |
|---|
| 104 | G4Element and G4Isotope. |

|---|
| 107 | --------- |
|---|
| 108 | - Fixed bug in the decay table for G4KaonMinus. |
|---|
| 109 | |
|---|
| 110 | o Track & Tracking: |
|---|
| 111 | ---------------- |
|---|
| 112 | - track: |

|---|
| 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 | |
