26  o Fix: Update the Step flag which identifies the Last Step in a volume
27     It is now done for the linear steps (no charge or no field)
28
29November 26th, 2008, J.Apostolakis  transport-V09-01-03
30----------------------------------
31- G4CoupledTransportation:

38     Avoid to compute safety at end of step for neutral particles
39
40November 21st, 2008, J.Apostolakis  transport-V09-01-01
41----------------------------------
42
43- G4Transportation & G4CoupledTransportation:
44  o Push value & origin of safety to SafetyHelper
45     only when its value comes from ComputeSafety
46
47January 17th, 2008, J.Apostolakis  transport-V09-01-00
48---------------------------------
49- G4Transportation & G4CoupledTransportation:
50  o Clear state of all Chord Finders using G4FieldManagerStore.
51- Syncronised with files on the HEAD.
52- Requires co-working tag "field-V09-01-00" (or "field-V09-00-03").
53  Functionality corresponding to tag "transport-V09-00-52".
54
55November 27th, 2007, J.Apostolakis  transport-V09-00-08
56----------------------------------
57- G4CoupledTransportation
58  o Added updating of particle-looping flag (was commented out.).
59
60November 10th, 2007, J.Apostolakis  transport-V09-00-07
61----------------------------------
62- G4Transportation:
63  o Put back the default for short step optimisation to 'on'.
64
65November 9th, 2007, J.Apostolakis  transport-V09-00-06
66---------------------------------
67- G4Transportation:
68  o Update the SafetyHelper using the safety calculated by Navigator.
69

71----------------------------------
72- G4CoupledTransportation
73  o Added updating of particle-looping flag (was commented out.)
74- Also called "transport-V09-00-51" to make it canonical.
75
76November 8th, 2007, J.Apostolakis  transport-V09-00-05
77---------------------------------
78- G4Transportation:
79  o Created new method (and class member) for flag on Short StepOptimisation.
80    * When it is true, the optimisation is 'on' steps shorter than the
81      safety will not call G4Navigator - so long as the particle goes straight
82      ie it is not charged or there is no field.
83    * Retained the default value as 'off' - as since changed in
84      transport-V09-00-02 following Alex's suggestion.
85
86November 8th, 2007, J.Apostolakis  transport-V09-00-04
87---------------------------------
88- G4Transportation (AlongStepGPIL):
89  o Moved the call to ConfigureForTrack before the check whether
90    fieldMgr has 0 field ptr, in order to enable it to be called
91    even if the field manager points to a zero field.
92    Needed to enable a user to switch a global field on (off was possible),
93    as a track goes between volume (or regions) of a setup.   
94    [ Response to request of Atlas/ZM. ]
95    Note: this ordering already existed in G4CoupledTransportation.
96
97October 12th, 2007, J.Apostolakis  transport-V09-00-03
98---------------------------------
99- G4CoupledTransportation:

101    any geometry (including a parallel geometry) limits the step. 
102    New PathFinder method required.
103- Requires and co-works with tag geomnav-V09-00-03
104
105October 4th, 2007, J.Apostolakis  transport-V09-00-02
106--------------------------------
107- G4CoupledTransportation:
108  o First fix for problem in condition for Relocating when only a parallel
109    geometry limited the step. 
110  o Change of condition for recalculation safety (from Alex Howard) used,
111    as currently it improves stability.
112
113September 25th, 2007, J.Apostolakis  transport-V09-00-01
114-----------------------------------
115- G4Transportation:
116  Modification to disable 'optimisation' in G4Navigator for small linear
117  step  (ie when a track does less than the safety).
118    * Relevant only if there is no field, or the particle is neutral
119    * Temporary measure (in current form) to improve comparison
120        old / new Transportation  (single/old vs coupled with pathfinder).
121
122July 12th, 2007, J.Apostolakis  transport-V09-00-00

195
196May 18th, 2007, J.Apostolakis  transport-V08-03-02
197-----------------------------
198- G4Transportation:

209
210May 9th, 2007, J.Apostolakis  transport-V08-03-00
211----------------------------
212- G4Transportation (hh,icc,cc)
213  o Renamed G4CoupledTransportation to G4Transportation

229----------------------------
230- G4CoupledTransportation:
231  o Make treatment of mass and full safety coherent (to-dos remain in
232    G4PathFinder).
233  o Added storing of full safety in state; retrieve it after compute step

240
241February 15th, 2007, J.Apostolakis  transport-V08-02-00
242----------------------------------
243- G4Transportation: call PropagatorInField to clear state for new track
244   --> addresses reliabilitiy problem seen by Atlas.  This fix is related
245       to overlaps, clearing the safety value (which is multivalued due
246       to the overlaps, and thus can become invalid for a new track in
247       an overlap region.)
248
249November 22nd, 2006, J.Apostolakis  transport-V08-01-04
250---------------------------------

252  (created by V. Ivantchenko)
253
254November 22nd, 2006, J.Apostolakis  transport-V08-01-03
255---------------------------------
256- G4CoupledTransportation:
257  o AlongStepGPIL() now returns an estimate for the safety for all geometries
258    to make up for the fact that some other processes only have PostStep GPILs
259    which cannot currently influence safety.
260- NOTE: Fix / Workaround for deficiency of others.
261
262November 13th, 2006, J.Apostolakis  transport-V08-01-01
263---------------------------------

275----------------------------------------------
276- Corrected problem with suspended tracks - PR# 802.
277- Added StartTracking() method which takes over responsibility to
278  clear the state for a new track, and to message other relevant
279  component to clear their state (problem report and proposed revision
280  by P.MoraDeFreitas).
281
282Jan. 16th, 2006, J.Apostolakis transport-V08-00-00
283------------------------------
284- G4Transportation:
285  o The particle's charge is now taken from the dynamic particle, so that
286    it can take into account changes from the interaction of an ion with
287    matter (eg stripping e-). (V.Ivantchenko)

492
493Oct  10th, 2002 M.Dressel transport-V04-01-01-internal-5
494--------------------------------------------------------
495- changing sampler concept: instead of separat samplers for
496  all combinations of importance sampling, scoring, wieght roulette
497  for parallel and mass geometry there are two Samplers now
498  for the mass and parallel geometry: G4MassGeometrySampler
499  and G4ParallelGeometrySampler.
500- Introduction of Configurators to setup the processes.
501
502Sep  18th, 2002 M.Dressel transport-V04-01-01-internal-4

515     and dependants
516
517Aug  13th, 2002 M.Dressel transport-V04-01-01
518----------------------------------------------

527
528July 11th, 2002 M.Dressel internal-2-transport-V04-01-01
529--------------------------------------------------------
530- moved the standard scoring classes to run because
531  they need G4EventManager.
532
533July 10th, 2002 M.Dressel internal-1-transport-V04-01-01
534--------------------------------------------------------
535- add classes for standard scoreing. Remove G4ScorePrinter and G4Scorer.
536  G4StandardScorer and G4StandardScoreTable may be used as replacement.
537  The source file G4StandardScorer.cc may be found in
538  extended/examples/B09/src because it needs to acces the
539  G4EventManager.
540
541Jun   13, 2002 M.Dressel transport-V04-00-09
542---------------------------------------------

566  G4VImportanceScoreConstructor
567
568May   30, 2002  M.Dressel internal-3-transport-V04-00-05
569--------------------------------------------------------

571  pointer
572
573May   29, 2002  M.Dressel internal-2-transport-V04-00-05
574--------------------------------------------------------
575- bug fix in G4PImportanceWWindowScoreManager.cc
576  and G4ParallelImportanceManager.hh.
577
578May   24, 2002  M.Dressel internal-1-transport-V04-00-05
579-------------------------
580- Change in G4VProcessPlacer and G4ProcessPlacer: add member function
581  RemoveProcess to properly remove a process.
582- Add classes for wieght window biasing.
583
584
585May   02, 2002  M.Dressel
586-------------------------
587- Change in G4ProcessPlacer: set process vector via process manager not
588  directly.
589- Change in G4ParallelTranport: use StartTracking to signal inital step.
590  This should help to locate "suspended" tracks.
591
592April 24, 2002  G.Cosmo - transport-V04-00-05
593-----------------------
594- Added G4DEBUG_TRANSPORT flag in GNUmakefile and (on suggestionh of
595  J.Apostolakis) replaced to G4VERBOSE in G4Transportation::PostStepDoIt()
596  for extra-check on volume boundary.
597  Issues addressed by problem report #130 should now be resolved.
598
599April 10, 2002  M.Dressel - transport-V04-00-04
600-------------------------
601- Added comments to headers of transportation classes and managers for
602  importance biasing, to fullfill Software Reference Manual.
603
604Apr 9, 2002 G.Cosmo
605-------------------
606- Added liability disclaimer to scorer classes and minor cosmetics.
607
608Apr 8, 2002 M.Dressel - transport-V04-00-03
609---------------------
610- Resolved compilation problems on HP-aCC.
611
612Apr 4, 2002 M.Dressel - transport-V04-00-02
613---------------------
614- Cleaned compilation problems for G4std/std.
615
616Apr 4, 2002 M.Dressel - transport-V04-00-01
617---------------------
618- Resolved compilation problems on SUN-CC and Linux-egcs.
619
620Mar  28, 2002 M.Dressel - transport-V04-00-00
621-----------------------
622- First implementation of transportation classes and managers for importance
623  biasing and scoring. Co-works with "geometry-V04-00-01".
624
625Mar  25, 2002 G.Cosmo
626---------------------
627- Added dependency to new module geometry/biasing in GNUmakefile.
628
629Dec   8, 2001 J.Apostolakis - transport-V03-02-07
630---------------------------
631- Activated the killing of 'looping' particles -- to be used also to
632  abandon (kill) particles that are stuck (eg at boundaries).
633  [ Fix for problems of stuck particles reported by CMS (P.Arce),
634    and Atlas (A.Del'Acqua, A.Rimoldi) ]
635
636Nov  28, 2001 J.Apostolakis - transport-V03-02-06
637---------------------------
638- Fix for the new updating of the time for fields -- correcting previous
639  tag.  By keeping account whether the field changes the energy (and
640  therefore the velocity) in the field manager.
641
642  Requires and co-works with
643   - "field-V03-02-07"
644   - "geomvol-V03-02-02"
645  in order to compile (let alone have any effect.)
646
647Nov  10, 2001 J.Apostolakis - transport-V03-02-05
648---------------------------
649- Motivated by the use case of an Electric Field,
650   * in order to achieve reasonable accuracy in time integration,
651   * and to enable fields that vary with the global time
652  changed Transportation to try to obtain the delta_time from FieldTrack.
653  Co-works with and requires "field-V03-02-03" to have any effect.
654
655Nov   9, 2001   G. Cosmo - transport-V03-02-04
656------------------------
657- Fix in G4Transportation.cc for initialisation of touchable handle.
658
659Nov   8, 2001   G. Cosmo - transport-V03-02-03
660------------------------
661- Introduced changes to G4Transportation for reference-counted
662  touchables (R.Chytracek). Added methods GetFreeTouchable() and
663  SetTheOtherTouchableFree(G4VTouchable*).
664
665Nov   6, 2001   J. Apostolakis - transport-V03-02-02
666------------------------------
667- Added protection in G4Transportation::AlongStepGPIL for messaging
668  "ResestStepEstimate" of ChordFinder for the case there is no global field.
669  ** NOTE this is not a perfect resolution (see NOTE in log file). **
670  --> Thanks to Radovan Chytracek for reporting this problem (move to file log)
671
672Aug  16, 2001   J. Apostolakis - transport-V03-02-01
673------------------------------
674- Tagged. (This tag requires field-V03-02-00)
675
676Aug  16, 2001   J. Apostolakis
677------------------------------
678- Erasing state information from previous track at the first step of
679  each track.  (-> this is required to ensure repeatability)
680  This should eliminate any non-repeatability due to the propagation
681  in field.
682  ( Requires updated version of G4ChordFinder )
683
684Jul  19, 2001   G. Cosmo  transport-V03-02-00
685------------------------
686- Synchronised with CVS HEAD after introduction of warrenty disclaimer.
687- Modified author list in G4Transportation (P.Gumplinger).
688
689Apr  11, 2001   J. Apostolakis   transport-V03-01-02
690------------------------------
691- Corrected the last update of G4Transportation.cc, which overwrote the
692  value of the spin in the cases where a particle was not charged (eg photon)
693  or a charged particle was not in a field.
694
695Apr  11, 2001   P. Gumplinger   transport-V03-01-01
696-----------------------------
697- Updated G4Transportation.cc to make spin tracking work correctly:
698  o Replaced the line originally commented out:
699      // fTransportEndPolarization= aFieldTrack.GetSpin() ; // Not yet possible
700    with:
701      fTransportEndSpin = aFieldTrack.GetSpin();
702  o Added to the AlongStepDoIt() the following call:
703      fParticleChange.SetPolarizationChange(fTransportEndSpin);
704
705Mar  19, 2001   J. Apostolakis  transport-V03-00-01
706------------------------------
707- G4Transportation modified to use new FieldTrack, and get Kinetic
708  Energy from it.
709  This new FieldTrack together with changes in associated Equation of Motion
710  classes implement the momentum vector as independent variable in place of
711  the velocity.
712  So this tag requires
713  - new geometry/magneticfield tag "field-V03-00-01",  and
714  - new geometry/volumes  tag "geomvol-V03-00-03" for new
715    G4PropagatorInField ().
716
717Feb  27, 2001   J. Apostolakis  (transport-V03-00-00)
718------------------------------
719- G4Transportation.cc:
720  *   Modified calculation of energy at the end of field step
721       to make it more accurate at low velocities,
722       (while remaining correct at high gammas).
723  This improves the energy determination.
724  Together with electromagnetic/standard tag  "stand-V03-00-03"
725  this addresses the main problem in propagating in an electric field
726  (Problem report # 108 )
727
728Sep  22, 2000   V. Grichine     (transport-V02-00-00)  [recorded by G.Cosmo]
729---------------------------
730- G4Transportation.cc:
731  o added formula for Tkin corresponding directly to
732    relativistic definition of Tkin = Etot - mc^2 = mc^2(gamma -1),
733    where gamma is a particle Lorentz factor.
734  o general cosmetics.
735
736Jun  19, 2000   J. Apostolakis  (transport-V01-01-02)
737------------------------------
738- G4Transportation.cc: Set the True Step Length in G4Transportation.cc
739- Cosmetic:  updated other files to the head, as there were no differences
740  from it (CVS headers).
741
742May  15, 2000   J. Apostolakis  (transport-V01-01-01)
743------------------------------
744- G4Transportation.cc:  Set the material in materialChange, in order to get
745  correct behaviour for volumes that parameterise the material.
746  (Fix is dependant on changes to particleChangeForTransport and StepPoint)
747- Modified setting of touchable change, in order to preserve const-ness where
748  it exists.
749
750Nov  25, 1999   J. Apostolakis  (transport-V00-01-01)
751------------------------------
752- G4Transportation.cc: Added protection for the case of a zero step (when
753  there is a field)
754- G4UserSpecialCuts: protection to use min range and min kinE only for
755  charged particles.
756
757June  9, 1999   J. Apostolakis  (transport-01-00-02)
758------------------------------
759- Added a protection so that full relocation is not used for very small moves.
760
761Dec   4, 1998   J. Apostolakis  (transport-00-04-01)
762------------------------------
763- The Velocity Vector for Transport in a magnetic field is now set correctly.
764  (previously the scalar velocity was automatically promoted to a 3-vector)
765
766Nov  25, 1998  J. Apostolakis   
767-----------------------------
768- Added the direction to  LocateGlobalPointAndUpdateTouchable.
769
770Nov  19, 1998   J. Apostolakis  (transport-00-03-04)
771------------------------------
772- Fixes:
773  1) The final energy is set equal to the initial energy, because
774     the PropagatorInField does not calculate it correctly yet.  NEEDS Fix
775  2) If the requested step size is zero and safety is zero,  the
776     step is now considered geometry limited.  (This can happen
777     if a discrete process tries to take a  step that is very small
778     compared to the mean free path.)  Problem observed by Laszlo in EM tests.
779  3) PostStepGetInteractionLength now returns DBL_MAX, not kInfinity.
780
781Nov  11, 1998   J. Apostolakis  (transport-00-03-03)
782------------------------------
783- Changes to accomodate new interface of Field:
784  G4PropagatorInField and G4FieldTrack.
785
786Oct  30, 1998  J. Apostolakis   (transport-00-03-02)
787-----------------------------
788- In the case of magnetic field, a flag that determines whether the
789  geometry limited the step was not set.
790
791Sep  16, 1998  J. Apostolakis   (transport-00-03-01)
792-----------------------------
793- Checks whether the particle is out of the world volume,
794  if so it has exited and must be killed.
795
796Aug  28, 1998  J. Apostolakis
797-----------------------------
798- The PostStepGetPhysicalInteractionLength has fixed (to return kInf)
799  The boolean flags for touchables are now initialised. & Other small fixes ?
800  Test code for non-relocating case added (for debugging).
801
802June 08, 1998   J. Apostolakis  (trans-06-04)
803------------------------------
804- Corrected Safety computation for the case of the field (adding endpoint
805  distance instead of curve length.)
806- Added PostStepDoIt method that tries to relocate the particle using
807  G4ParticleChangeForTransport
808- Transportation is no longer a G4ContinuousProcess.
809
810June 08, 1998   J. Apostolakis  (trans-06-03)
811------------------------------
812- Modified it to recomputate Safety at the start of a step.  To do this
813  it uses the previous step's  calculated safety and endpoint.
814
815June 08, 1998   J. Apostolakis  (trans-06-02)
816------------------------------
817- Modified it to add re-computation of Safety at the endpoint of a step,
818  when the safety would become negative.  This is done to allow processes
819  to benefit from a realistic (geometrical) value of the safety.  The
820  request to do this was from EM physics
821
822June 03, 1998   J. Apostolakis  (trans-06-01)
823------------------------------
824- The safety we is now generalised to mean the limit of assumption of all
825  processes. The AlongStepGPIL input value is not the remainder from the
826  previous step's geometrical safety.
827  So the transportation must recalculate the starting point's safety here.
828  As a zeroeth order approximation we set it to zero.
829
830April 17, 1998  M. Maire      [recorded by John Apostolakis]
831------------------------
832- A new process, G4UserSpecialCuts, was added to allow the
833  user an alternative method to set some user cuts.
834
835April 15, 1998  H. Kurasige   [recorded by John Apostolakis]
836---------------------------
837- The transportation does the absolute minimum required to conform to
838  the new scheme for ParticleChange: G4VParticleChange is used in signature.
839  [ But default G4ParticleChange is still used ].
840
