2 Geant4 6.2 - patch-01 Release Notes
3 -----------------------------------
4
5 27 July 2004
6
7List of fixes included in this public patch since release 6.2:
8
9 o Configuration:
10 -------------
11 + Configure script:
12 o Corrected behavior for setting of CLHEP_BASE_DIR in case the path
13 is set to '/usr' or '/usr/local'. Fixes problem report #638.
14 + source/GNUmakefile:
15 o Fixed search path from absolute to relative. Addresses problem
16 report #644.
17
18 o Digits_hits, Event
19 ------------------
20 + Trivial fixes for removal of redundant semicolons in the code.
21
22 o Geometry:
23 --------
24 + divisions:
25 o Removed unnecessary forward declaration of HepTransform3D from
26 G4ParameterisationBox and G4VDivisionParameterisation.
27 + navigation:
28 o Fixed zero step-length problem in G4ReplicaNavigation::ComputeStep()
29 for cases where different replica types are coincident. Resolves
30 problem report #633.
31 o G4NormalNavigation: added extra verbosity to print out information
32 for each solid which returns a 'lowest-yet' step, including the
33 mother volume. It is activated by setting verbose level to 2 or
34 more.
35 + solids/BREPS:
36 o G4BREPSolidPolyhedra and G4BREPSolidPCone:
37 Fixed usage of tolerances fir handling surface distances.
38 Implemented SurfaceNormal(p) to follow original specifications
39 for G4VSolid.
40 o G4BREPSolid:
41 Fixed usage of tolerances fir handling surface distances.
42 o Some code cleanup ...
43 + solids/CSG:
44 o Fixes curing rare conditions of loops at boundaries for G4Orb
45 and G4Sphere. Addresses problem report #547.
46
47 o Electromagnetic standard processes:
48 ----------------------------------
49 + standard:
50 o Improved cross-section parametrisation at low energy for
51 ComptonScattering.
52 + utils:
53 o Correction in G4MscModel::SampleCosTheta() for high-energy particles
54 at small step. Fixes some observed deflection of direction for
55 particles at high energies.
56 o Fixed a problem of G4VEnergyLossProcess observed for ions at small
57 cuts in range (ionization, charge>1).
58
59 o Hadronic Processes:
60 ------------------
61 + models/cascade, util:
62 o Trivial fixes for removal of redundant semicolons in the code.
63 + chiral_inv_phase_space:
64 o Fix for clusterization in G4QNucleus. Correcting problem observed
65 in system-testing.
66 o Fixed initialization of secondary values dZ,dN,dS in G4QNucleus.
67
68 o Run:
69 ---
70 + Updated date to run-manager.
71
72 o Tracking:
73 --------
74 + Fix in G4SteppingManager to correct the ordering of secondary tracks
75 generated in a step.
76 + Moved inlined constructor/destructor for G4Vtrajectory and
77 G4VtrajectoryPoint to not inline, and corrected signature of
78 operator==() to canonical form.
79
80 o Visualization:
81 -------------
82 + management: made G4VViewer::ProcessView() public, since used as
83 private friend by some client classes.
84
85 o Hadronic Lists:
86 --------------
87 + Corrected user GNUmakefile sample, to allow for proper installation
88 when global compound libraries are used.
89
90 o Examples:
91 --------
92 + Updated reference outputs.
93 + advanced/composite_calorimeter, lAr_calorimeter
94 o Fixed configuration setup for hadronic physics lists, to allow
95 for proper installation when global compound libraries are used.
96 + advanced/Rich, xray_telescope
97 o Corrected to new visualization commands in input macro.
98 + extended/analysis/A01
99 o Fixed configuration setup for hadronic physics lists, to allow
100 for proper installation when global compound libraries are used.
101 + extended/geometry/olap
102 o Reordered storage of parameters for solids according to arguments
103 order in construction in SolidAnalyser. Resolving issue in problem
104 report #635.
105
