|
|---|
| 82 | inside G4CascadSpecialFunctions. Small differences are observed for

| 84 | wider lateral shower shapes.
|
|---|

| 97 | + models/management:
|
|---|
| 98 | o G4HadronicInteractionRegistry: modified to conform to singleton
|
|---|
| 99 | definition.
|
|---|
| 100 | o G4HadronicInteraction, G4InelasticInteraction: made constructor,

|
|---|
| 103 | o Added de-registration of G4MuNuclearInteraction process.
|

|
|---|
| 114 | -----------------
|
|---|
| 115 | + Optical:
|
|---|
| 116 | o Fix to G4OpBoundaryProcess to address problem report #1040.
|
|---|
| 117 |
|
|---|
| 118 | o Persistency:
|
|---|
| 119 | -----------
|
|---|
| 120 | + ascii:
|
|---|
| 121 | o Fix in delta theta for handling of G4Sphere, and renaming 'phiTotal'
|
|---|
| 122 | to 'phiDelta' for the relevant solids in G4tgbVolume implementation.
|
|---|
| 123 | o Bug fix in definition of delta angle for all solids with section in
|
|---|
| 124 | Phi in G4tgbVolume. Take into consideration tolerance.
|
|---|
| 125 | + gdml:
|
|---|
| 126 | o Fixed association of entities in nested loops for solids and materials.
|
|---|
| 127 | o Strip off white spaces from names G4GDMLWrite::GenerateName(), to avoid
|
|---|
| 128 | parsing problems in imported files.
|
|---|
| 129 | o Corrected treatment of brackets and indeces for matrices in
|
|---|
| 130 | G4GDMLEvaluator. Fixes problem report #1048.
|
|---|
| 131 | o Fix in G4GDMLStructure class for missing caching of auxiliary
|
|---|
| 132 | information from child modules, causing auxiliary information defined
|
|---|
| 133 | within separated modules to get lost and therefore not assigned to
|
|---|
| 134 | volumes. Fixes problem report #1049.
|
|---|
| 135 | o Changed post-fix"_refl" to "_PV" for placements made through the
|
|---|
| 136 | reflection-factory.
|
|---|
| 137 | o Added possibility to check overlaps by activating/de-activating the
|
|---|
| 138 | built-in surface check for placement and parameterised volumes.
|
|---|
| 139 | By default the overlap check is off. To activate it, use call to the
|
|---|
| 140 | parser 'SetOverlapCheck(true)' before reading the GDML file.
|
|---|
| 141 | Required for resolving overlap issues fixed above.
|
|---|
| 142 |
|
|---|
| 143 | o Particles:
|
|---|

|
|---|
| 145 | + Fixed values of masses for light ions.
|
|---|
| 146 | + Optimised G4IonTable::IsIon() implementation for usage of strings.
|
|---|
| 147 |
|
|---|
| 148 | o Physics Lists:
|
|---|
| 149 | -------------
|
|---|
| 150 | + G4HadronInelasticQBBC: use G4StringChipsParticleLevelInterface instead
|
|---|
| 151 | of obsolete G4StringChipsInterface.
|
|---|
| 152 | + G4MiscLHEPBuilder: create processes dynamically for proper deletion at
|
|---|
| 153 | the end of job.
|
|---|
| 154 |
|
|---|
| 155 | o Tracking:
|
|---|
| 156 | --------
|
|---|
| 157 | + Fixed issue in G4SteppingManager for the special cases of skipping voxel
|
|---|
| 158 | boundaries in G4RegularNavigation.
|
|---|
| 159 |
|
|---|
| 160 | o Visualization:
|
|---|
| 161 | -------------
|
|---|
| 162 | + Fixed problem in ratio and geometry on X/Xm/Qt/Win32 viewers.
|
|---|
| 163 | Now possible to pass XString like 400x600-0+0 to viewers, set position
|
|---|
| 164 | and location.
|
|---|
| 165 | + Corrected use of G4DEBUG with G4DEBUG_VIS_OGL in OpenGL-Qt code.
|
|---|
| 166 |
|
|---|

|
|---|
| 177 | o Corrected URL for standard location of schema in all GDML files.
|
|---|
| 178 | o Use "OrganPos" and "OrganRot" as names for organs's transformations in
|
|---|
| 179 | ORNL files, as implied by code.
|
|---|
| 180 | o Fixed 'solids' tag in ORNLLeftLegBone.gdml files for male and female.
|
|---|
| 181 | o Fixed compilation warnings and updated README.
|
|---|
| 182 | + advanced/microbeam:
|
|---|

|
|---|
| 184 | conditional statements.
|
|---|
| 185 | + advanced/nanobeam:
|
|---|
| 186 | o Correction in TabulatedField3D to use logical '&&', not bit '&' in
|
|---|
| 187 | conditional statements.
|
|---|
| 188 | + extended/medical/DICOM:
|
|---|
| 189 | o Added report on dose per voxel.
|
|---|
| 190 | o Fixed use pf class G4RegularNavigationHistory for counting of step

|---|
| 191 | lengths in voxels of the regular structure; forgotten inclusion in
|
|---|
| 192 | release 9.2.
|
|---|
| 193 | + extended/persistency/gdml/G02:
|

|
|---|
| 195 | compilation on Windows.
|
|---|
| 196 | o Added visualization properties for world volume in DetectorConstruction
|
|---|
| 197 | to avoid run-time warning.
