176
177June 5th, 2007 - J.Apostolakis (geomnav-V08-03-07)
178------------------------------
179- G4PathFinder:
180 o New method to return the safety sphere last calculated for
181 a PreStep point (it could be a previous one - due to optimasation).
182 >> If last step(s) were smaller than safety, then for a linear
183 track (no field or no charge) Navigator's ComputeSafety is not
184 called. The older PreStep (previous step or some steps back
185 in case of many small steps) is stored for this - and provided.
186 o ComputeStep() still returns current PreStep point's safety (must).
187 o Revisions are to make this (used by CoupledTransportation) more
188 compatible with the old direct use of G4Navigator by G4Transportation.
189
190May 29th, 2007 - J.Apostolakis (geomnav-V08-03-06)
191------------------------------
192- G4Navigator
193 o Fixed **ComputeSafety**: wrong coordinates used (last tag only).
194 For certainty reinstated LocateGlobalPointWithinVolume (for now).
195 o Corrected calculation of fStepEndPoint (in ComputeStep)
196 for case of step not limited by geometry
197- G4PathFinder
198 o PrepareNewTrack: calls to re-initialise SafetyHelper (reset safety)
199 o ReLocate: Corrected check of move (avoid one side effect on stored safety)
200 --> ComputeSafety still results individual navigators' values.
201
202May 24th, 2007 - J.Apostolakis (geomnav-V08-03-05)
203------------------------------
204- G4PathFinder: 1 correction and 2 optimisations:
205 o PrepareNewTrack() clear safety - to avoid potential problems in overlaps.
206 o DoNextLinearStep() only calls ComputeStep() for a navigator whose safety
207 greater than the step.
208 o DoNextCurvedStep(), if there's one geometry, no longer calls
209 ComputeSafety() at start.
210- G4Navigator ComputeSafety:
211 o Corrected it to address use at non-endpoint
212 o Replaced call to LocateGlobalPointWithinVolume() with calls to
213 sub-navigators.
214
215May 21st, 2007 - G.Cosmo
216------------------------
217- Made 'fVerbose' protected in G4Navigator, reused in G4MultipleNavigator.
218- Some cleanup in G4MultipleNavigator implementation.
219- Make G4PathFinder singleton definition canonical.
220- Added method CheckPointExiting() in G4AuxiliaryNavServices utility
221 class (by P.Arce).

224------------------------------
225- Corrections and additions in G4PathFinder:
226 1) Added calculation of start-point safety in DoNextCurvedStep
227 2) Corrected GetCurrentSafety() - uses mininum of 1)
228 3) Added method to obtain safety of one navigator (after call to all).
229 4) Deleted obsolete data member 'fMinSafety'.
230 5) If only one geometry, do not call WhichLimited in DoNextLinearStep (optimisation)
231 6) ComputeSafety: save the values of isotropic safety for each navigator
232
233May 18th, 2007 - A.Howard (geomnav-V08-03-03)
234------------------------
235- Fixed return value for G4PathFinder::ComputeStep in case of
236 step smaller than tolerance (now kInfinity): fixes one PathFinder issue (JA).

272- Some cleanup and minor cosmetics ...
273
274April 12st, 2007 - V.Ivanchenko
275-------------------------------
276- G4SafetyHelper become a unique class, which can be accessed via
277 G4TransporationManager. Depending on type of navigation (single
278 world or multiple navigation) it uses mass navigator or G4PathFinder.
279 All calls from EM processes to geometry are provided by G4SafetyHelper.
280- G4TransportationManager: added G4SafetyHelper.
281- G4PathFinder: initialisation of G4SafetyHelper.
282- Tagged "geomnav-V08-02-02-beta2".
283
284March 31st, 2007 - J. Apostolakis
285---------------------------------
286- G4Navigator:
287 o New method CheckNextStep() makes a trial step, without
288 changing the state of the Navigator (to be verified).
289 It is a variant of ComputeStep, whose signature it shares.
290- Tagged "geomnav-V08-02-02-beta1".
291
292February 13th, 2007 - J.Apostolakis
293-----------------------------------
294- G4Navigator:
295 o Improvement for creating touchable history when located outside world.
296 Retain whether last point was located outside, and if so call default
297 TouchableHistory constructor (that initialised world to null).
298 NOTE: testing found problems with SteppingManager::SetInitialStep()
299 as the Vertex physical volume was not set. Protection is potentially
300 required, or bigger issue to be resolved.
301 Currently, changes in G4Navigator.hh,cc are safe, but the fix in .icc is
302 temporarly suspended and NOT included.
303- Attempted fix created Dec 7th, 2006
304
305February 13th, 2007 - J.Apostolakis (geomnav-V08-02-01)
306-----------------------------------
307- G4PropagatorInField:
308 o Implemented ClearPropagatorState() to clear all the track-dependent
309 state (incl. safety, zero-steps, loop flag ...).
310 ** Calling this is mandatory for each new track because in the case of
311 geometry overlaps, the safety can be easily inconsistent (and/or
312 incorrect) otherwise
313 ** Must be called from G4Transportation (or alternatives) !!
314- Fix created Jan 25th, 2007
315
316January 31st, 2007 - G.Cosmo (geomnav-V08-02-00)
317----------------------------

326 o Revised condition for extra checking against safety.
327 o Many small and cosmetic changes in debug printing.
328
329November 18th, 2006 - J.Apostolakis (geomnav-V08-01-07)
330-----------------------------------
331- G4PathFinder:
332 o Fix for problem when step is fully taken.
333 Note: this occurs due to optimisation in PiF that avoids calling
334 G4(Multi)Navigator!!
335 o Function LimitedString( ELimited lim ) enables printing this enum
336 o Improved printing in IntersectChord. Deleted/simplified few prints in
337 ComputeStep().
338- G4MultiNavigator: cleanup, cosmetics
339

349- G4MultiNavigator:
350 o Several fixes, primarily for taking care of condition of
351 geometry limited step.
352
353November 11th, 2006 - J.Apostolakis (geomnav-V08-01-04)
354-----------------------------------
355- G4PropagatorInField:
356 o Refined fix in LocateIntersectionPoint(), to subdivide
357 in case it cannot find intersection point quickly (T.Nikitina).
358 Second version, with several levels of cutting.
359 o NOTE: Special tags made (later) not including the Developments in
360 G4TransportationManager, G4PathFinder, G4SafetyHelper for parallel
361 navigation. i.e. - based on tag "geomnav-V08-01-03".
362
363November 11th, 2006 - J.Apostolakis

391October 31st, 2006 - J.Apostolakis
392----------------------------------
393- G4SafetyHelper
394 o Added new class variable 'fUseParallelGeometries', to enable
395 it to work call G4Navigator of Mass geometry directly, in
396 the case of single geometry (when G4PathFinder is disabled).
397 o Default value is currently 'true' --> for parallel navigation development.
398- G4PathFinder
399 o Improved the code that checks within relocation whether position

439 o New method 'ComputeSafety' to compute safety at endpoint of last step.
440
441June 2nd, 2006 - J.Apostolakis (geomnav-V08-00-05)
442------------------------------
443- G4PathFinder:
444 o New method ReLocate() for non-Transportation classes to call when moving
445 the endpoint of a particle. Uses LocateGlobalPointWithinVolume() method
446 of the navigators.
447 o Small fixes and protection of debug printing with Verbose flag.
448 o Default verbose level is now 0.
449
450May 28th, 2006 - J.Apostolakis (geomnav-V08-00-04)
451------------------------------
452- G4PathFinder:
453 o Check whether a process shifted the position since the last step.

456
457May 27th, 2006 - J.Apostolakis (geomnav-V08-00-03)
458------------------------------
459- G4PathFinder revised significantly:
460 o Workaround for problem of CreateHistory() when outside world.
461 o Revised for new counting of Navigator IDs (M.Asai).
462 o Added MovePoint() method that signals if it moved.
463 o Added state to cope with cases where a full step is taken,
464 i.e. to cope with steps that return kInfinity:
465 New state:
466 RelocatedPoint - to show if it is moved;
467 TrueMinStep - finite whereas reported can be kInfinity.
468 and to aid in clarifying the state of the (singleton) object:
469 LastStepNo - already kept in one method (static), now exposed;
470 CurrentStepNo - mostly for debugging and printing out.
471 o Small improvements in tests.
472
473May 23rd, 2006 - J.Apostolakis (geomnav-V08-00-02)
474------------------------------
475- Added new prototype class G4PathFinder to coupled navigation
476 in parallel geometries.
477
478May 22nd, 2006 - G.Cosmo (geomnav-V08-00-01)
479------------------------
480- Extended G4TransportationManager to handle multiple navigators.
481 Preserved interface for navigation in mass/tracking geometry.
482- Added activation flag to G4Navigator and related accessor methods.
483
484Feb 8th, 2006 - J.Apostolakis (geomnav-V08-00-00)
485-----------------------------
486- Addressing problem with convergence in LocateIntersectionPoint()
487 of G4PropagatorInField (problem identified by Atlas, observed when
488 requesting high precision, i.e. small values of eps_min/max, delta_one_step,
489 due e.g. to need for small delta_intersection):
490 o First solution by increasing maximum iterations (from 100 to 10,000).
491 o Until correct information can be returned, an Exception is thrown
492 in case of too many iterations.
493 o Warn in case over 1000 iterations, to let user see difficulty.
494- This fix is an interim solution, in lieu of improving the algorithm
495 for location (or returning correct incomplete progress).
496
497Nov 24th, 2005 - J.Apostolakis (geomnav-V07-01-02)
498------------------------------
499- Revised G4ParameterisedNavigation, to use new interface for
500 ComputeMaterial(). Now no longer needing 'Physical Touchable'.
501
502Sep 19th, 2005 - G.Cosmo (geomnav-V07-01-01)
503------------------------
504- G4DrawVoxels: removed unnecessary 'panic' message in ComputeVoxelPolyhedra()
505 and some code cleanup.
506
507Jul 25th, 2005 - G.Cosmo (geomnav-V07-01-00)
508------------------------

512------------------------------
513- Added ability to use Nested Parameterisations to Parameterised Navigation
514 Coworks with tag "geomvol-V07-00-01".
515
516Dec 2nd, 2004 - G.Cosmo (geomnav-V06-02-08)
517-----------------------
518- Implemented migration to <cmath> for standard mathematical functions.
519
520Nov 24th, 2004 - G.Cosmo (geomnav-V06-02-07)
521------------------------
522- Fix in G4ReplicaNavigation::DistanceToOutPhi() for the case of phi
523 sections on convex surfaces. Fixes problem report #651.
524
525Nov 19th, 2004 - J.Apostolakis (geomnav-V06-02-06)
526------------------------------
527- New access method in G4Navigator for SeverityOfZeroStepping().
528
529Nov 17th, 2004 - G.Cosmo (geomnav-V06-02-05)
530------------------------
531- Allow consecutive corrections for stuck tracks in G4Navigator::ComputeStep()
532 up to 10 times before aborting the event.
533
534Sep 28th, 2004 - G.Cosmo (geomnav-V06-02-04)
535------------------------
536- Invoke G4LogicalVolume::UpdateMaterial() instead of SetMaterial() for
537 parameterised navigation in G4Navigator and G4ParameterisedNavigation
538 (M.Asai).
539- Coworks with tag "geommng-V06-02-02".
540
541Sep 13th, 2004 - G.Cosmo (geomnav-V06-02-03)
542------------------------
543- G4Navigator: corrected computation of fGrandMotherExitNormal in ComputeStep()
544 in the case where a not valid exit-normal exists.
545
546Sep 11th, 2004 - G.Cosmo (geomnav-V06-02-02)
547------------------------
548- Dump out contents from the solid when a fatal G4Exception is thrown from
549 the navigators in ComputeStep().
550 Modified files G4NormalNavigation.cc, G4ParameterisedNavigation.cc,
551 G4ReplicaNavigation.cc, G4VoxelNavigation.cc.
552
553Aug 31st, 2004 - D.C.Williams (geomnav-V06-02-01)
554-----------------------------
555- G4GeomTestSegment: fix to correctly determine whether starting trajectory
556 is entering or exiting the solid when the starting point is on a surface.
557 Added additional tests on solid consistencies (from roundoff sometimes) to
558 avoid incorrect overlap warnings. Addresses problem reports #610 and #652.
559
560Jun 29th, 2004 - G.Cosmo (geomnav-V06-02-00)
561------------------------
562- Fixed zero step-length problem in G4ReplicaNavigation::ComputeStep()
563 for cases where different replica types are coincident. Resolves
564 problem report #633.
565- G4NormalNavigation: added extra verbosity to print out information
566 for each solid which returns a 'lowest-yet' step, including the
567 mother volume. It is activated by setting verbose level to 2 or
568 more (J.Apostolakis).
569
570Jun 18th, 2004 - G.Cosmo (geomnav-V06-01-03)
571------------------------
572- Enhanced check for null step in G4Navigator::ComputeStep().
573 Now attempting a corrective action after 10 consecutive zero steps.
574 Event gets aborted after 25 zero steps.
575
576Jun 15th, 2004 - G.Cosmo (geomnav-V06-01-02)
577------------------------
578- Relax exception in G4Navigator::ComputeStep() for stuck tracks.
579 Event gets aborted after 25 zero steps.
580
581Jun 11th, 2004 - G.Cosmo (geomnav-V06-01-01)
582------------------------
583- Added check to G4Navigator to count the number of steps with zero length
584 and issue an exception for tracks that get stuck in a loop (J.Apostolakis).
585- Modified GNUmakefile to define G4GEOMETRY_ALLOC_EXPORT flag for DLLs
586 build on Windows.
587
588May 17th, 2004 - G.Cosmo (geomnav-V06-01-00)
589------------------------
590- Added more verbosity on solids response for navigators (optimised/not
591 optimised) if "check_mode" state is combined with verbose level-1.
592
593Mar 11th, 2004 - G.Cosmo (geomnav-V06-00-02)
594------------------------
595- Added "check_mode" state for navigators. The state can be activated by
596 a new UI command (geometry/navigator/check_mode [true/false]) and will
597 force more strict and less tolerant checks in step/safety computation to
598 verify the correctness of solids' response in the geometry.
599- Reorganised verbosity levels. Added more useful information activated
600 when in G4VERBOSE mode and verbosity level selected.
601 Fixed output formatting when entering/exiting verbose blocks.
602
603Feb 27th, 2004 - G.Cosmo (geomnav-V06-00-01)
604------------------------
605- G4Navigator.cc:
606 o Fixed old outstanding bug in ComputeStep() for the location of the
607 the local point in the calculation of a valid exit normal. (V.Grichine)
608
609Feb 9th, 2004 - J.Apostolakis (geomnav-V06-00-00)
610------------------------------
611- G4PropagatorInField.cc:
612 o ReEstimateEndpoint: Changed to cope with a failure of AccurateAdvance,
613 by calling it iteratively up maximum 20 times.
614 o SetVerboseLevel, now forwards the verbosity (minus 3) to integration driver
615
616Dec 11th, 2003 - J.Apostolakis (geomnav-V05-02-15)
617------------------------------
618- G4PropagatorInField.cc:
619 o LocateIntersectionPoint: Refined re-setting of finalSection.
620 --> Endpoint recalculation is returned only for final section.
621 (trial fix in -14 is replaced by above code)
622 o Fixed ReEstimateEndPoint which ignored return code of AccurateAdvance
623 and moved to short end-point for long requests
624 It now leaves the endpoint unchanged, when it cannot improve it.
625 o Few format changes for PrintStatus
626
627Dec 10th, 2003 - J.Apostolakis (geomnav-V05-02-14)
628------------------------------
629- G4PropagatorInField.cc on top of latest (not 1.7):
630 o Fix for the case where two previous corrections are 'operational'
631 Problem if the current endpoint is not the final one, and it has been
632 recalculated, and we need to go beyond the current section to the
633 final one -- the recalcuted endpoint no longer valid!
634
635Dec 10th, 2003 - J.Apostolakis (geomnav-V05-02-13)
636------------------------------
637- G4PropagatorInField.cc:
638 o Gone back to version 1.7, without the fix in LocateIntersectionPoint
639 for the "long-standing error".
640
641Dec 5th, 2003 - G.Cosmo - (geomnav-V05-02-12)
642------------------------
643- G4TransportationManager.cc:
644 o removed initialisation of allocators for navigation levels, where they
645 were introduced as workaround for solving static initialisation a long
646 time ago. Now moved to "volumes" module, where they should belong, in
647 G4TouchableHistory.cc.
648- Restored original unit-tests, using inherited navigator.
649 --> Requires geomvol-V05-02-08
650
651Dec 4th, 2003 - J.Apostolakis (geomnav-V05-02-11)
652------------------------------
653- G4PropagatorInField.cc
654 o Corrected placement of #endif for two #ifdef VERBOSE
655
656Dec 2nd, 2003 - J.Apostolakis (geomnav-V05-02-10)
657------------------------------
658- G4PropagatorInField[.hh.cc]:
659 o Fixed LocateIntersectionPoint for long-standing error.
660 A section of the chord was not considered in use case where
661 a previous chord at first appeared to have an intersection, but did not.
662
663Nov 26th, 2003 - J.Apostolakis (geomnav-V05-02-09)
664------------------------------
665- G4PropagatorInField[.hh.cc]:
666 o Added argument Method LocateIntersectionPoint G4bool& recalculatedEndPt
667 to return 'true' if the endpoint has been recalculated.
668 This fixes a problem that can occasionally cause the skipping of a volume
669 boundary - in the case when a re-integration was done near a boundary,
670 because the new endpoint was previously not passed back.
671 o ComputeStep also changed to accept above recalculation.
672 o New method GetVerboseLevel(), closer to std naming than Verbose()
673
674Nov 14th, 2003 - J.Apostolakis (geomnav-V05-02-08)
675------------------------------
676- Retagged the files of tag "geomnav-V05-02-07", due to tagging with same
677 name incorrectly files in another directory and, as such confusing Bonsai.
678
679Nov 13th, 2003 - J.Apostolakis (geomnav-V05-02-07)
680------------------------------
681- G4PropagatorInField[.hh.icc.cc]:

685
686
687Nov 10th, 2003 - G.Cosmo (geomnav-V05-02-06)
688------------------------
689- G4Navigator[.hh.icc.cc] - methods review:
690 o Removed obsolete methods: IsExitNormalValid(), GetLocalExitNormal().
691 o Renamed method LocateGlobalPointAndSetup(p,v,history) to
692 ResetHistoryAndLocate(p,v,history).
693 o Moved to protected the following methods: GetCurrentLocalCoordinate(),
694 ComputeLocalPoint(), ComputeLocalAxis(), NetTranslation(),
695 NetRotation(), EnteredDaughterVolume().
696 o Fixed consistency of inline/not-inline implementations of methods.
697- Coworks with tag "tracking-V05-02-03".
698
699Nov 6th, 2003 - J.Apostolakis (geomnav-V05-02-05)
700-----------------------------
701- G4PropagatorInField[.hh.icc.cc]:
702 o Implements move of EpsilonMin / Max to G4FieldManager.
703- Requires and coworks with "field-V05-02-04" or later tag.
704
705Nov 6th, 2003 - G.Cosmo (geomnav-V05-02-04)
706-----------------------
707- G4Navigator[.hh.icc.cc]:
708 o Made relevant methods virtual to verify performance impact.
709 If tests will behave reasonably, a further refinement in the
710 design of the class will be applied, in view of a more consistent
711 design review next year.
712
713Nov 3rd, 2003 - G.Cosmo (geomnav-V05-02-03)
714-----------------------
