| 7 | List of fixes included in this public patch since the public release 8.3: |
|---|
| 8 | |
|---|
| 9 | o Configuration: |
|---|
| 10 | ------------- |
|---|
| 11 | + liblist.c: fixed problem affecting recent CygWin installations on |
|---|
| 12 | Windows in parsing the buffer for the generation of libname.map. |
|---|
| 13 | + binmake.gmk: defined OUT internal variable specifying the proper |
|---|
| 14 | compilation/linking option to Unix or Windows compilers: '-o ' |
|---|
| 15 | and '/Fe' respectively. Cleared <TAB> characters where not necessary. |
|---|
| 16 | + SUN-CC.gmk: forced -xO2 as optimisation level. |
|---|
| 17 | |
|---|
| 18 | o Geometry: |
|---|
| 19 | -------- |
|---|
| 20 | + magneticfield: |
|---|
| 21 | o Relaxed 'FatalException' to 'Warning' in method |
|---|
| 22 | G4MagIntegratorDriver::AccurateAdvance() for case of step zero and |
|---|
| 23 | return previous value. This fixes problem observed by ATLAS and CMS |
|---|
| 24 | in release 8.3 when using very conservative values for field |
|---|
| 25 | parameters. |
|---|
| 26 | + solids/specific: |
|---|
| 27 | o Fixes in G4Polyhedra::GetPointOnSurface(): |
|---|
| 28 | Correctly treat 'totalPhi' instead of 'endPhi' for the case of open |
|---|
| 29 | shapes and 'twopi' for not open shapes. |
|---|
| 30 | Introduced fix for the case when number of sectors (numSide) is equal |
|---|
| 31 | to 1. At the origin of problems observed when checking overlaps for |
|---|
| 32 | polyhedra solids defined as such. |
|---|
| 33 | |
|---|
| 34 | o Global: |
|---|
| 35 | ------ |
|---|
| 36 | + Changed date for patch-01 to release 8.3. |
|---|
| 37 | |
|---|
| 38 | o Materials: |
|---|
| 39 | --------- |
|---|
| 40 | + G4NistElementBuilder: added protection (Z>=limitNumElements) inside |
|---|
| 41 | method BuildElement(). |
|---|
| 42 | |
|---|
| 43 | o Hadronic Processes: |
|---|
| 44 | ------------------ |
|---|
| 45 | + models/chiral_inv_phase_space: |
|---|
| 46 | o G4QuasiFreeRatios: fixed DB filling (ID update), responsible for |
|---|
| 47 | excessive growth of memory in long runs. Corrected indexing and |
|---|
| 48 | computation of cos(theta). |
|---|
| 49 | + util: |
|---|
| 50 | o Three bug fixes in G4ReactionDynamics::TwoCluster(): removed a sharp |
|---|
| 51 | peak at 180 degrees by fixing a units error and fixed an error in |
|---|
| 52 | sampling the momentum transfer. Fixed array bound violation which |
|---|
| 53 | caused in some rare occasions an infinite loop. |
|---|
| 54 | |
|---|
| 55 | o Physics Lists: |
|---|
| 56 | ------------- |
|---|
| 57 | + Correct use of QElasticPhysics in QGSP_QEL list. |
|---|
| 58 | |
|---|
| 59 | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|---|
| 60 | |
|---|
| 61 | Technical Notes |
