20January 17th, 2008, J.Apostolakis  transport-V09-01-00
21---------------------------------
22- G4Transportation & G4CoupledTransportation:
23  o Clear state of all Chord Finders using G4FieldManagerStore.
24- Syncronised with files on the HEAD.
25- Requires co-working tag "field-V09-01-00" (or "field-V09-00-03").
26  Functionality corresponding to tag "transport-V09-00-52".
27
28November 27th, 2007, J.Apostolakis  transport-V09-00-08
29----------------------------------
30- G4CoupledTransportation
31  o Added updating of particle-looping flag (was commented out.).
32
33November 10th, 2007, J.Apostolakis  transport-V09-00-07
34----------------------------------
35- G4Transportation:
36  o Put back the default for short step optimisation to 'on'.
37
38November 9th, 2007, J.Apostolakis  transport-V09-00-06
39---------------------------------
40- G4Transportation:
41  o Update the SafetyHelper using the safety calculated by Navigator.
42
43November 27th, 2007, J.Apostolakis  transport-V09-00-05a
44----------------------------------
45- G4CoupledTransportation
46  o Added updating of particle-looping flag (was commented out.)
47- Also called "transport-V09-00-51" to make it canonical.
48
49November 8th, 2007, J.Apostolakis  transport-V09-00-05
50---------------------------------
51- G4Transportation:
52  o Created new method (and class member) for flag on Short StepOptimisation.
53    * When it is true, the optimisation is 'on' steps shorter than the
54      safety will not call G4Navigator - so long as the particle goes straight
55      ie it is not charged or there is no field.
56    * Retained the default value as 'off' - as since changed in
57      transport-V09-00-02 following Alex's suggestion.
58
59November 8th, 2007, J.Apostolakis  transport-V09-00-04
60---------------------------------
61- G4Transportation (AlongStepGPIL):
62  o Moved the call to ConfigureForTrack before the check whether
63    fieldMgr has 0 field ptr, in order to enable it to be called
64    even if the field manager points to a zero field.
65    Needed to enable a user to switch a global field on (off was possible),
66    as a track goes between volume (or regions) of a setup.   
67    [ Response to request of Atlas/ZM. ]
68    Note: this ordering already existed in G4CoupledTransportation.
69
70October 12th, 2007, J.Apostolakis  transport-V09-00-03
71---------------------------------
72- G4CoupledTransportation:
73  o Improves condition for flag that regulates Relocating when only
74    any geometry (including a parallel geometry) limits the step. 
75    New PathFinder method required.
76- Requires and co-works with tag geomnav-V09-00-03
77
78October 4th, 2007, J.Apostolakis  transport-V09-00-02
79--------------------------------
80- G4CoupledTransportation:
81  o First fix for problem in condition for Relocating when only a parallel
82    geometry limited the step. 
83  o Change of condition for recalculation safety (from Alex Howard) used,
84    as currently it improves stability.
85
86September 25th, 2007, J.Apostolakis  transport-V09-00-01
87-----------------------------------
88- G4Transportation:
89  Modification to disable 'optimisation' in G4Navigator for small linear
90  step  (ie when a track does less than the safety).
91    * Relevant only if there is no field, or the particle is neutral
92    * Temporary measure (in current form) to improve comparison
93        old / new Transportation  (single/old vs coupled with pathfinder).
94

170-----------------------------
171- G4Transportation:
172  o Corrected full safety at step start, to protect against negative value.

183May 9th, 2007, J.Apostolakis  transport-V08-03-00
184----------------------------
185- G4Transportation (hh,icc,cc)
186  o Renamed G4CoupledTransportation to G4Transportation

197- Use call to G4GeometryTolerance instead of kCarTolerance in
198  G4VTrackTerminator.
199- Requires tag "global-V08-03-00" and related tag set.
200
201May 2nd, 2007, J.Apostolakis  transport-V08-02-02
202----------------------------
203- G4CoupledTransportation:
204  o Make treatment of mass and full safety coherent (to-dos remain in
205    G4PathFinder).
206  o Added storing of full safety in state; retrieve it after compute step

209
210February 15th, 2007, J.Apostolakis  transport-V08-02-01

213
214February 15th, 2007, J.Apostolakis  transport-V08-02-00
215----------------------------------
216- G4Transportation: call PropagatorInField to clear state for new track
217   --> addresses reliabilitiy problem seen by Atlas.  This fix is related
218       to overlaps, clearing the safety value (which is multivalued due
219       to the overlaps, and thus can become invalid for a new track in
220       an overlap region.)
221
222November 22nd, 2006, J.Apostolakis  transport-V08-01-04
223---------------------------------

225  (created by V. Ivantchenko)
226
227November 22nd, 2006, J.Apostolakis  transport-V08-01-03
228---------------------------------
229- G4CoupledTransportation:
230  o AlongStepGPIL() now returns an estimate for the safety for all geometries
231    to make up for the fact that some other processes only have PostStep GPILs
232    which cannot currently influence safety.
233- NOTE: Fix / Workaround for deficiency of others.
234
235November 13th, 2006, J.Apostolakis  transport-V08-01-01
236---------------------------------

246
247Feb.  6th, 2006, J.Apostolakis/P.MoraDeFreitas transport-V08-00-01
248----------------------------------------------
249- Corrected problem with suspended tracks - PR# 802.
250- Added StartTracking() method which takes over responsibility to
251  clear the state for a new track, and to message other relevant
252  component to clear their state (problem report and proposed revision
253  by P.MoraDeFreitas).
254
255Jan. 16th, 2006, J.Apostolakis transport-V08-00-00
256------------------------------
257- G4Transportation:
258  o The particle's charge is now taken from the dynamic particle, so that
259    it can take into account changes from the interaction of an ion with
260    matter (eg stripping e-). (V.Ivantchenko)
261

470  for parallel and mass geometry there are two Samplers now
471  for the mass and parallel geometry: G4MassGeometrySampler
472  and G4ParallelGeometrySampler.
473- Introduction of Configurators to setup the processes.
474
475Sep  18th, 2002 M.Dressel transport-V04-01-01-internal-4
476--------------------------------------------------------
477- tagging a version before reducing the number of Samplers
478
479Sep  2th, 2002 M.dressel  transport-V04-01-01-internal-3
480-----------------------------------------
481    code cleanup for code-wizard
482
483Aug  29th, 2002 M.Dressel int-1-V04-01-01
484-----------------------------------------
485- adopted to changes in int-2-geombias-V04-01-01:
486     renaming of G4PTouchableKey to G4GeometryCell
487     changing  G4VIStore and G4IStore
488     and dependants
489
490Aug  13th, 2002 M.Dressel transport-V04-01-01
491----------------------------------------------
492- added G4CellStoreScorer,  G4VTrackTerminator and changed the sampler
493  classes in order to use the G4VTrackTerminator (if necessary) to
494  kill a track.
495- coworks with geombias-V04-01-01
496
497July 18th, 2002 M.Dressel
498-------------------------
499- bug fix in G4TrackLogger
500
501July 11th, 2002 M.Dressel internal-2-transport-V04-01-01
502--------------------------------------------------------
503- moved the standard scoring classes to run because
504  they need G4EventManager.
505
506July 10th, 2002 M.Dressel internal-1-transport-V04-01-01
507--------------------------------------------------------
508- add classes for standard scoreing. Remove G4ScorePrinter and G4Scorer.
509  G4StandardScorer and G4StandardScoreTable may be used as replacement.
510  The source file G4StandardScorer.cc may be found in
511  extended/examples/B09/src because it needs to acces the
512  G4EventManager.
513
514Jun   13, 2002 M.Dressel transport-V04-00-09
515---------------------------------------------
516- add classes for creating and printing tallies.

521
522May   31, 2002  M.Dressel transport-V04-00-07
523--------------------------------------------------------
524- bug fix in G4PArallelScoreSampler.cc and remove Warning from
525  ParallelTransport.
526
527May   31, 2002  M.Dressel transport-V04-00-06
528--------------------------------------------------------
529- renaming of the Manager classes to Sampler classes
530- substitution of G4ParallelManager inside the Sampler classes
531
532May   30, 2002  M.Dressel
533--------------------------------------------------------
534- chamged G4VImportanceScoreConstructor to G4VSampler
535
536May   30, 2002  M.Dressel
537--------------------------------------------------------
538- all the ImportanceScoreManagers derive form
539  G4VImportanceScoreConstructor
540
541May   30, 2002  M.Dressel internal-3-transport-V04-00-05
542--------------------------------------------------------
543- changes in Importance Manager constructors, G4ImportanceAlgorithm as
544  pointer
545
546May   29, 2002  M.Dressel internal-2-transport-V04-00-05
547--------------------------------------------------------
548- bug fix in G4PImportanceWWindowScoreManager.cc
549  and G4ParallelImportanceManager.hh.
550
551May   24, 2002  M.Dressel internal-1-transport-V04-00-05
552-------------------------
553- Change in G4VProcessPlacer and G4ProcessPlacer: add member function
554  RemoveProcess to properly remove a process.
555- Add classes for wieght window biasing.
556
557
558May   02, 2002  M.Dressel
559-------------------------
560- Change in G4ProcessPlacer: set process vector via process manager not
561  directly.
562- Change in G4ParallelTranport: use StartTracking to signal inital step.
563  This should help to locate "suspended" tracks.
564
565April 24, 2002  G.Cosmo - transport-V04-00-05
566-----------------------
567- Added G4DEBUG_TRANSPORT flag in GNUmakefile and (on suggestionh of
568  J.Apostolakis) replaced to G4VERBOSE in G4Transportation::PostStepDoIt()
569  for extra-check on volume boundary.
570  Issues addressed by problem report #130 should now be resolved.
571
572April 10, 2002  M.Dressel - transport-V04-00-04
573-------------------------
574- Added comments to headers of transportation classes and managers for
575  importance biasing, to fullfill Software Reference Manual.
576
577Apr 9, 2002 G.Cosmo
578-------------------
579- Added liability disclaimer to scorer classes and minor cosmetics.
580
581Apr 8, 2002 M.Dressel - transport-V04-00-03
582---------------------
583- Resolved compilation problems on HP-aCC.
584
585Apr 4, 2002 M.Dressel - transport-V04-00-02
586---------------------
587- Cleaned compilation problems for G4std/std.
588
589Apr 4, 2002 M.Dressel - transport-V04-00-01
590---------------------
591- Resolved compilation problems on SUN-CC and Linux-egcs.
592
593Mar  28, 2002 M.Dressel - transport-V04-00-00
594-----------------------
595- First implementation of transportation classes and managers for importance
596  biasing and scoring. Co-works with "geometry-V04-00-01".
597
598Mar  25, 2002 G.Cosmo
599---------------------
600- Added dependency to new module geometry/biasing in GNUmakefile.
601
602Dec   8, 2001 J.Apostolakis - transport-V03-02-07
603---------------------------
604- Activated the killing of 'looping' particles -- to be used also to
605  abandon (kill) particles that are stuck (eg at boundaries).
606  [ Fix for problems of stuck particles reported by CMS (P.Arce),
607    and Atlas (A.Del'Acqua, A.Rimoldi) ]
608
609Nov  28, 2001 J.Apostolakis - transport-V03-02-06
610---------------------------
611- Fix for the new updating of the time for fields -- correcting previous
612  tag.  By keeping account whether the field changes the energy (and
613  therefore the velocity) in the field manager.
614
615  Requires and co-works with
616   - "field-V03-02-07"
617   - "geomvol-V03-02-02"
618  in order to compile (let alone have any effect.)
619
620Nov  10, 2001 J.Apostolakis - transport-V03-02-05
621---------------------------
622- Motivated by the use case of an Electric Field,
623   * in order to achieve reasonable accuracy in time integration,
624   * and to enable fields that vary with the global time
625  changed Transportation to try to obtain the delta_time from FieldTrack.
626  Co-works with and requires "field-V03-02-03" to have any effect.
627
628Nov   9, 2001   G. Cosmo - transport-V03-02-04
629------------------------
630- Fix in G4Transportation.cc for initialisation of touchable handle.
631
632Nov   8, 2001   G. Cosmo - transport-V03-02-03
633------------------------
634- Introduced changes to G4Transportation for reference-counted
635  touchables (R.Chytracek). Added methods GetFreeTouchable() and
636  SetTheOtherTouchableFree(G4VTouchable*).
637
638Nov   6, 2001   J. Apostolakis - transport-V03-02-02
639------------------------------
640- Added protection in G4Transportation::AlongStepGPIL for messaging
641  "ResestStepEstimate" of ChordFinder for the case there is no global field.
642  ** NOTE this is not a perfect resolution (see NOTE in log file). **
643  --> Thanks to Radovan Chytracek for reporting this problem (move to file log)
644
645Aug  16, 2001   J. Apostolakis - transport-V03-02-01
646------------------------------
647- Tagged. (This tag requires field-V03-02-00)
648
649Aug  16, 2001   J. Apostolakis
650------------------------------
651- Erasing state information from previous track at the first step of
652  each track.  (-> this is required to ensure repeatability)
653  This should eliminate any non-repeatability due to the propagation
654  in field.
655  ( Requires updated version of G4ChordFinder )
656
657Jul  19, 2001   G. Cosmo  transport-V03-02-00
658------------------------
659- Synchronised with CVS HEAD after introduction of warrenty disclaimer.
660- Modified author list in G4Transportation (P.Gumplinger).
661
662Apr  11, 2001   J. Apostolakis   transport-V03-01-02
663------------------------------
664- Corrected the last update of G4Transportation.cc, which overwrote the
665  value of the spin in the cases where a particle was not charged (eg photon)
666  or a charged particle was not in a field.
667
668Apr  11, 2001   P. Gumplinger   transport-V03-01-01
669-----------------------------
670- Updated G4Transportation.cc to make spin tracking work correctly:
671  o Replaced the line originally commented out:
672      // fTransportEndPolarization= aFieldTrack.GetSpin() ; // Not yet possible
673    with:
674      fTransportEndSpin = aFieldTrack.GetSpin();
675  o Added to the AlongStepDoIt() the following call:
676      fParticleChange.SetPolarizationChange(fTransportEndSpin);
677
678Mar  19, 2001   J. Apostolakis  transport-V03-00-01
679------------------------------
680- G4Transportation modified to use new FieldTrack, and get Kinetic
681  Energy from it.
682  This new FieldTrack together with changes in associated Equation of Motion
683  classes implement the momentum vector as independent variable in place of
684  the velocity.
685  So this tag requires
686  - new geometry/magneticfield tag "field-V03-00-01",  and
687  - new geometry/volumes  tag "geomvol-V03-00-03" for new
688    G4PropagatorInField ().
689
690Feb  27, 2001   J. Apostolakis  (transport-V03-00-00)
691------------------------------
692- G4Transportation.cc:
693  *   Modified calculation of energy at the end of field step
694       to make it more accurate at low velocities,
695       (while remaining correct at high gammas).
696  This improves the energy determination.
697  Together with electromagnetic/standard tag  "stand-V03-00-03"
698  this addresses the main problem in propagating in an electric field
699  (Problem report # 108 )
700
701Sep  22, 2000   V. Grichine     (transport-V02-00-00)  [recorded by G.Cosmo]
702---------------------------
703- G4Transportation.cc:
704  o added formula for Tkin corresponding directly to
705    relativistic definition of Tkin = Etot - mc^2 = mc^2(gamma -1),
706    where gamma is a particle Lorentz factor.
707  o general cosmetics.
708
709Jun  19, 2000   J. Apostolakis  (transport-V01-01-02)
710------------------------------
711- G4Transportation.cc: Set the True Step Length in G4Transportation.cc
712- Cosmetic:  updated other files to the head, as there were no differences
713  from it (CVS headers).
714
715May  15, 2000   J. Apostolakis  (transport-V01-01-01)
716------------------------------
717- G4Transportation.cc:  Set the material in materialChange, in order to get
718  correct behaviour for volumes that parameterise the material.
719  (Fix is dependant on changes to particleChangeForTransport and StepPoint)
720- Modified setting of touchable change, in order to preserve const-ness where
721  it exists.
722
723Nov  25, 1999   J. Apostolakis  (transport-V00-01-01)
724------------------------------
725- G4Transportation.cc: Added protection for the case of a zero step (when
726  there is a field)
727- G4UserSpecialCuts: protection to use min range and min kinE only for
728  charged particles.
729
730June  9, 1999   J. Apostolakis  (transport-01-00-02)
731------------------------------
732- Added a protection so that full relocation is not used for very small moves.
733
734Dec   4, 1998   J. Apostolakis  (transport-00-04-01)
735------------------------------
736- The Velocity Vector for Transport in a magnetic field is now set correctly.
737  (previously the scalar velocity was automatically promoted to a 3-vector)
738
739Nov  25, 1998  J. Apostolakis   
740-----------------------------
741- Added the direction to  LocateGlobalPointAndUpdateTouchable.
742
743Nov  19, 1998   J. Apostolakis  (transport-00-03-04)
744------------------------------
745- Fixes:
746  1) The final energy is set equal to the initial energy, because
747     the PropagatorInField does not calculate it correctly yet.  NEEDS Fix
748  2) If the requested step size is zero and safety is zero,  the
749     step is now considered geometry limited.  (This can happen
750     if a discrete process tries to take a  step that is very small
751     compared to the mean free path.)  Problem observed by Laszlo in EM tests.
752  3) PostStepGetInteractionLength now returns DBL_MAX, not kInfinity.
753
754Nov  11, 1998   J. Apostolakis  (transport-00-03-03)
755------------------------------
756- Changes to accomodate new interface of Field:
757  G4PropagatorInField and G4FieldTrack.
758
759Oct  30, 1998  J. Apostolakis   (transport-00-03-02)
760-----------------------------
761- In the case of magnetic field, a flag that determines whether the
762  geometry limited the step was not set.
763
764Sep  16, 1998  J. Apostolakis   (transport-00-03-01)
765-----------------------------
766- Checks whether the particle is out of the world volume,
767  if so it has exited and must be killed.
768
769Aug  28, 1998  J. Apostolakis
770-----------------------------
771- The PostStepGetPhysicalInteractionLength has fixed (to return kInf)
772  The boolean flags for touchables are now initialised. & Other small fixes ?
773  Test code for non-relocating case added (for debugging).
774
775June 08, 1998   J. Apostolakis  (trans-06-04)
776------------------------------
777- Corrected Safety computation for the case of the field (adding endpoint
778  distance instead of curve length.)
779- Added PostStepDoIt method that tries to relocate the particle using
780  G4ParticleChangeForTransport
781- Transportation is no longer a G4ContinuousProcess.
782
783June 08, 1998   J. Apostolakis  (trans-06-03)
784------------------------------
785- Modified it to recomputate Safety at the start of a step.  To do this
786  it uses the previous step's  calculated safety and endpoint.
787
788June 08, 1998   J. Apostolakis  (trans-06-02)
789------------------------------
790- Modified it to add re-computation of Safety at the endpoint of a step,
791  when the safety would become negative.  This is done to allow processes
792  to benefit from a realistic (geometrical) value of the safety.  The
793  request to do this was from EM physics
794
795June 03, 1998   J. Apostolakis  (trans-06-01)
796------------------------------
797- The safety we is now generalised to mean the limit of assumption of all
798  processes. The AlongStepGPIL input value is not the remainder from the
799  previous step's geometrical safety.
800  So the transportation must recalculate the starting point's safety here.
801  As a zeroeth order approximation we set it to zero.
802
803April 17, 1998  M. Maire      [recorded by John Apostolakis]
804------------------------
805- A new process, G4UserSpecialCuts, was added to allow the
806  user an alternative method to set some user cuts.
807
808April 15, 1998  H. Kurasige   [recorded by John Apostolakis]
809---------------------------
810- The transportation does the absolute minimum required to conform to
811  the new scheme for ParticleChange: G4VParticleChange is used in signature.
812  [ But default G4ParticleChange is still used ].
813
