7List of fixes included in this public patch to release 5.2:
8
9  o Configuration scripts:
10    ---------------------
11    + WIN32-VC.gmk, WIN32-VC7.gmk:
12      o reinstated options "-D_CONSOLE -D_WIN32 -DOS" to allow correct
13        treatment/opening of data files at run-time.
14
15  o Electromagnetic processes (standard):
16    ------------------------------------
17    + muons:
18      o Fixed bug of printout in G4MuIonisation.
19
20  o Hadronic processes:
21    ------------------
22    + models/chiral_inv_phase_space
23      o Added protection against a rounding problem in the CHIPS
24        evaporation. Fixes a problem observed in gamma-nuclear reactions.
25    + models/generator/de_excitation
26      o Fixed usage of arguments to pow() function (porting on
27        .NET 7.1 compiler).
28    + models/generator/quark_gluon_string
29    + models/generator/string_fragmentation
30      - Implemented the handling of diffractive photon scattering in
31        the parton string models. Mandatory for high energy gamma and
32        electro-nuclear reactions.
33    + models/neutron_hp:
34      o Corrected an error affecting the neutron energy distribution
35        in Fission. Mandatory for fission in Uranium 235.
36    + stopping:
37      o Fixed few cases of memory leaks occuring at every new run.
38
39  o Particles:
40    ---------
41    + Add one void pointer to G4DynamicParticle for the sake of maintaining
42      links between pre-assigned decay products and corresponding primary
43      particle.
44
45  o Transportation:
46    --------------
47    + G4Transportation:
48      o Added verbosity level to control the printing of warnings.
49      o Attempt to correct photon problem by using the velocity from current
50        medium for massless particles.
51      o Use the finalVelocity to update TofF for optical photons.
52
53  o Visualization:
54    -------------
55    + RayTracer:
56      o Fixed incomplete migration to Cuts per Region scheme, causing
57        tracing process to crash in release 5.2.
58
59  o Examples:
60    --------
61  - Updated reference outputs.
62  - extended:
63    o eventgenerator/HepMC
64      + fixed compilation errors due to incorrect code migration from
65        g4std wrappers.
66      + fixed pedantic compilation warnings on Linux-g++.
67    o gdml
68      + Fixed trivial compilation errors originated by recent g4std
69        migration.
70      + Fixed pedantic compilation warnings on Linux-g++.
71    o g3tog4
72      + Fixed pedantic compilation warnings on Linux-g++.
73    o parallel
74      + Fixed pedantic compilation warnings on Linux-g++.
