| 7 | List 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 | |
