 May 11, 2010  J.Allison                  geom-bool-V09-03-00
  - Introduced recursive algorithm in CreatePolyhedron(): it uses
    HepPolyhedronProcessor from 'graphics_reps', which tries small shifts
    in an attempt to avoid numerical problems in the calculation of the
    polyhedron in BooleanProcessor. Recursion allows HepPolyhedronProcessor
    to try all permutations, also for Booleans of Booleans.
    Helps in reducing the number of cases of "Error in Boolean processor" for
    visualization, but still some stubborn cases are left.

    on request and stores for future access.  A null pointer means "not
    available".

    (replaced by forward declarations where necessary).

 Oct 28, 2003   G.Cosmo                   geom-bool-V05-02-02
  - Migration to new G4Exception scheme.

 Oct 28, 2003   J.Apostolakis
  - Modified test/GNUmakefile to delete un-necessary directories.
    It no longer refers to navigator (old volumes), but includes
    intercoms (for G4VVisManager).

 Oct  9, 2003   V.Grichine                geom-bool-V05-02-01
  - Fixes to default safety to zero in DistIn/Out(p) methods.

 Jun 12, 2003   G.Cosmo                   geom-bool-V05-01-02
  - G4ReflectionFactory:
    o Made public accessors: GetConstituentLV(), GetReflectedLV(),
      IsConstituent() and IsReflected().
    o Added accessor GetReflectedVolumesMap() to access list of
      reflected volumes.

 May 22, 2003   G.Cosmo                   geom-bool-V05-01-01

    missing! Now fixed.

 May 12, 2003   G.Cosmo                   geom-bool-V05-01-00
  - Added set/get methods for scale precision in G4ReflectionFactory.

  - Minor fixes to unit tests.

 Jan 27, 2003   G.Cosmo                   geom-bool-V05-00-00
  - G4ReflectionFactory[.hh.cc] (courtesy of I.Hrivnacova):
    o Added set/get functions Set/GetVolumesNameExtension() for volume-name
      extension. By default now the factory assigns "_refl" postfix to name
      of reflected volumes.
    o Assumed less strict condition in the CheckScale() method, to avoid
      precision problems with imported rotation matrices.

 Oct 29  2002  Gabriele Cosmo       geom-bool-V04-01-01
  - Added method CleanTransformations() to G4DisplacedSolid and corrected
    implementation in destructor of G4BooleanSolid to not call for deletion
    of G4VSolid in the case where displacement is used.
    This fixes a problem noticed on Linux-g++ at application closeout for
    double deletion of a solid in such special case.

 Oct 28  2002  Gabriele Cosmo       geom-bool-V04-01-00
  - Added implementation of StreamInfo() to comply with new interface for
    G4VSolid in "geommng-V04-01-03".
  - Some cosmetic changes to code formatting.
  - Extended unit tests to include new user test-cases (V.Grichine).

    passing all basic unit tests.

    G4ReflectionFactory for reflections of positioned volumes
    (courtesy of V.Grichine and I.Hrivnacova).
  - Fixed bug in G4ReflectedSolid::CreatePolyhedron().

 Aug 13  2001  Vladimir Grichine    geom-solid-bool-V03-02-00
  - Introduced G4BOOLDEBUG flag and replaced G4Exception statements with
    simple warnings to G4cerr for rare occurences of anomalous conditions.

 May 30  2001  Vladimir Grichine    geom-solid-bool-V03-01-00
  - G4IntersectionSolid: fix in DistanceToIn(p,v) resolving bug observed
    in problem report #153.

 Mar 19  2001  Gabriele Cosmo       geom-solid-bool-V03-00-03

  - G4IntersectionSolid:
    o fix in CalculateExtent() for computation of pMin and pMax, to avoid
      assignment in case CalculateExtent() of one component solid fails.
    o fix in Inside() to return kOutside in case first component solid's
      Inside() returns kOutside.
  - G4UnionSolid:
    o fix in CalculateExtent() for computation of pMin and pMax: initialised
      local variables.

 Jan 31  2001  Gabriele Cosmo       geom-solid-bool-V03-00-02

  - Fix in G4UnionSolid::DistanceToOut(p,v,...) for assignment of
    argument *n. Previous fix was incomplete!

 Jan 23  2001  Gabriele Cosmo       geom-solid-bool-V03-00-01
 
  - Fixed wrong labels for G4Exception calls in G4UnionSolid.cc and
    G4SubtractionSolid.cc to identify the correct class.
    Fixes bug report #200.

 Jan 08  2001  Vladimir Grichine    geom-solid-bool-V03-00-00

  - Fix in G4UnionSolid::DistanceToOut(p,v,...) for assignment of
    argument *n to happen only if calcNorm is false.
    (courtesy of D.Williams)
  - Updated unit tests testG4IntersectionSolid.cc, testG4SubtractionSolid.cc
    and test/testG4UnionSolid.cc.

 Nov 22  2000  Vladimir Grichine    geom-solid-bool-V02-00-03

  - Added new set methods for matrix/vectors to G4DisplacedSolid:
      SetTransform(G4AffineTransform&),
      SetDirectTransform(G4AffineTransform&),
      SetFrameRotation(const G4RotationMatrix&),
      SetFrameTranslation(const G4ThreeVector&),
      SetObjectRotation(const G4RotationMatrix&),
      SetObjectTranslation(const G4ThreeVector&).

 Nov 20  2000  Gabriele Cosmo       geom-solid-bool-V02-00-02

  - Fixes to remove warnings from "-Wall -ansi -pedantic" g++ compiler options:
    o commented out variables declared and not used.

 Sep 13  2000  Vladimir Grichine    geom-solid-bool-V02-00-00

  - G4SubtractionSolid.cc: relaxed behavior in SurfaceNormal(p), where
    it is allowed for a point to be inside the solid. A message is thrown
    to cerr instead of a G4Exception.

 Jun 26  2000  Vladimir Grichine    geom-solid-bool-V01-01-03

  - Fixed bug in G4SubtractionSolid::DistanceToOut(p,v,...). validNorm
    flag was uncorrectly set to true. Fixes report #102.

 Jun 6   2000  John Apostolakis     geom-solid-bool-V01-01-02

  - Protecting the use of pointers validNorm and n, if calcNorm is false

 Jun 6   2000  John Allison         geom-solid-bool-V01-01-01

  - Re-enabled CreatePolyhedron() method from G4UnionSolid, G4IntersectionSolid
    and G4SubtractionSolid.  Coworks with greps-V01-01-04.

 May 26  2000  John Allison         geom-solid-bool-V01-01-00

  - Disabled CreatePolyhedron() method from G4UnionSolid, G4IntersectionSolid
    and G4SubtractionSolid. It now temporarly returns a NULL pointer.
    Visualisation of Boolean solids is therefore temporarly disabled, pending
    a definitive fix in graphics_reps.
    Files G4UnionSolid.cc, G4SubtractionSolid.cc and G4IntersectionSolid.cc
    are included in the branch-tag "boolean_nopoly_branch".

 Apr 27  2000  Gabriele Cosmo

  - Reorganised comments for the Software Reference Manual.
  - Added CVS headers and standard G4 header where missing.

 Apr 11  2000  John Allison

  - CreatePolyhedron implemented for BooleanSolids.
  - G4DisplacedSolid: reversed implementation of GetFrameRotation and
    GetObjectRotation, removing inappropriate invertion.
  - G4DisplacedSolid::GetConstituentMovedSolid() made const.

 Jan 19  2000	Gabriele Cosmo	    geom-solid-bool-V01-00-00

  - Syncronized file versions with HEAD (essentially CVS headers changes)
  - Fixed cases of G4std::min which were not migrated on the HEAD in files:
    G4UnionSolid.cc and G4IntersectionSolid.cc

 Nov 24  1999 			    geom-solid-bool-V00-01-05

  - Small fix in src/G4DisplacedSolid.cc to the return type 
         (const G4AffineTransform --> G4AffineTransform)
    to conform with the specification of the class.

 Nov 19  1999                       geom-solid-bool-V00-01-04

  -  Fixes from Vladimir, and additional tests

 Nov 10  1999                       geom-solid-bool-V00-01-03b

  - Renamed  GetConstituentSolid to GetConstituentMovedSolid in G4DisplacedSolid
     to avoid clashing with method that gets the contituents of a G4BooleanSolid.

 Nov 10  1999                       geom-solid-bool-V00-01-03a

  - Tag with additional methods for Persistency

 Nov 10  1999                       geom-solid-bool-V00-01-03-cand

  New method: Get Object Rotation/Translation methods in Displaced Solid

 Nov  9  1999                       geom-solid-bool-V00-01-02-cand
  
  - Tag with additional methods for Visualisation

   G4DisplacedSolid,  G4BooleanSolid

      Added methods to access data members:
          Get Constituent Solid  (int) for Boolean   Solid 
          Get Constituent Solid        for Displaced Solid 
          Get Frame Rotation/Translation methods in Displaced Solid



  Dec  1  1998   John Apostolakis   geom-boolean-4-ja

    Code portability changes.

  Nov 27  1998   J.Apostolakis & V.Grichine   geom-boolean-3-vg

    Fixes agreed in code review were implemented.
