|
|---|
| 7 | List of fixes included in this public patch to release 5.1:
|
|---|
| 8 |
|
|---|
| 9 | o Electromagnetic processes (standard):
|
|---|
| 10 | ------------------------------------
|
|---|
| 11 | + muons:
|
|---|
| 12 | - Commented out debug printout in G4MuPairProduction.
|
|---|
| 13 |
|
|---|
| 14 | o Geometry:
|
|---|
| 15 | --------
|
|---|
| 16 | + solids/Boolean:
|
|---|
| 17 | - Added set/get methods for scale precision in G4ReflectionFactory.
|
|---|
| 18 | + volumes:
|
|---|
| 19 | - G4PropagatorInField.cc: fix in ComputeStep() to avoid step computation
|
|---|
| 20 | if proposed step length is too small. Fixes problem noticed in release
|
|---|
| 21 | 5.1 and occasionally appearing as "Invalid Enum in [solid-type]", also
|
|---|
| 22 | registered as problem report #485.
|
|---|
| 23 |
|
|---|
| 24 | o Hadronic processes:
|
|---|
| 25 | ------------------
|
|---|
| 26 | + models/generator/kinetic_model
|
|---|
| 27 | o G4BinaryCascade: fix to cure infinite loop observed in inelastic
|
|---|
| 28 | scattering of hydrogen.
|
|---|
| 29 |
|
|---|
| 30 | o Run:
|
|---|
| 31 | ---
|
|---|
| 32 | - G4RunManager: fixed behavior of function DefineWorldVolume()
|
|---|
| 33 | to properly reset navigation history and optimisation in case the
|
|---|
| 34 | topology of the geometry has changed between runs. Now only a single
|
|---|
| 35 | call to DefineWorldVolume() is necessary when changing the geometry.
|
|---|
| 36 | Fixes also problem report #481.
|
|---|
| 37 | o Added new boolean argument (default set to TRUE) to specify if
|
|---|
| 38 | topology has changed.
|
|---|
| 39 | o Forced open/close geometry in method ResetNavigator() to properly
|
|---|
| 40 | reset G4Navigator status and remove old optimisations.
|
|---|
| 41 |
|
|---|
| 42 | o Examples:
|
|---|
| 43 | --------
|
|---|
| 44 | - novice/N04
|
|---|
| 45 | o Corrected printout.
|
|---|
| 46 | - extended/electromagnetic - TestEm1, TestEm2, TestEm3
|
|---|
| 47 | o Simplified mechanism for updating geometries between runs,
|
|---|
| 48 | according to changes in G4RunManager::DefineWorldVolume().
|
|---|
