18th May 2010 Peter Gumplinger (op-V09-03-02)
              fix a bug reported at:
              http://hypernews.slac.stanford.edu/HyperNews/geant4/get/opticalphotons/334/1/1.html
              theFacetNormal was not sampled for polishedbackpainted
              in DielectricDielectric method of G4OpBoundaryProcess

19th Apr 2010 Peter Gumplinger (op-V09-03-01)
              fix Problem report #1114 in that for backpainted
              surfaces theReflectivity is not applied twice. 
              While doing the fix I also completely refashioning the 
              code in the case of type == dielectric_dielect.

19th Jan 2010 Peter Gumplinger (op-V09-03-00)
              assign PropertyPointers to NULL at the start of the
              PostStepDoIt, addresses bug report #1094

19th Nov 2009 Peter Gumplinger (op-V09-02-06)
              change the code such that the LUT are now read in and kept
              by G4OpticalSurface and not G4OpBoundaryProcess, reordering
              of enumeration and set theStatus in DielectricLUT.

11th Nov 2009 Peter Gumplinger (op-V09-02-05)
              add capability of simulating surface reflections
              with Look-Up-Tables (LUT) containing measured
              optical reflectance for a variety of surface
              treatments - Thanks to Martin Janecek and
              William Moses (Lawrence Berkeley National Lab.)

9th  Nov 2009 Peter Gumplinger (op-V09-02-04)
              G4OpBoundary: initialze theReflectivity and theEfficiency
              at the beginning of the PostStepDoIt; add method
              BoundaryProcessVerbose which will now print the process
              status for every call to PostStepDoIt.

5th  Nov 2009 Peter Gumplinger (op-V09-02-03)
              G4OpBoundary::PostStepDoIt - all dielectric_dielectric
              surfaces may now have a reflectivity <1; not only
              'frontpainted' as was the case in the past.

6th  May 2009 Peter Gumplinger (op-V09-02-02)
              G4OpBoundary::PostStepDoIt now throws an G4Exception
              EventMustBeAborted when an invalid surface normal is returnd;
              addresses bug report #1060

23th Mar 2009 Peter Gumplinger (op-V09-02-01)
              for complex index of refraction: (1)resample the reflectivity
              every time in the do-while of DielectricMetal, but don't
              re-calculate theFacetNormal (which has already been chosen
              in CalculateReflectivity), also (2) avoid an infinite loop by
              resetting iTE and iTM inside the do-while of GetReflectivity;
              both are bug-fixes.

14th Jan 2009 Peter Gumplinger (op-V09-02-00)
              respond to bug report 1040 by fixing G4OpBoundaryProcess.cc

18th Aug 2008 Peter Gumplinger (op-V09-01-06)
              use signatures G4SwapPtr(T*& and G4SwapObj(T*
              in G4OpBoundaryProcess - to work with global-V09-01-12

15th Aug 2008 Peter Gumplinger (op-V09-01-05)
              replaced G4SwapPtr with G4SwapObj for Rindex
              in G4OpBoundaryProcess - serious error since op-V09-01-00
              (see also Problem Report 1020)

4th July 2008 Peter Gumplinger (op-V09-01-04)
              In G4OpWLS now SetTouchableHandle(aTrack.GetTouchableHandle())
              for the secondaries in the DoIt.

5th June 2008 Peter Gumplinger (op-V09-01-00)
              G4OpBoundaryProcess: Removed G4Swap methods - replaced by
              G4SwapPtr. Removed G4IsotropicRand method - replaced by
              G4RandomDirection. Add commented code to change absorption
              at a dielectric/metal boundary into transmission.

29th Oct 2007 Peter Gumplinger (op-V09-00-01)
              In G4OpWLS.cc allow for the MeanNumberOfPhotons to be
              different from one, in case the constant property: 
              WLSMEANNUMBERPHOTONS is provided and, if it is, sample 
              NumPhotons with G4Poisson.

15th Oct 2007 Peter Gumplinger (op-V09-00-00)
              Add capability of calculating the reflectivity off a metal

              Thanks to Sehwook Lee and John Hauptman
              (Dept. of Physics - Iowa State Univ.)

11th May 2007 Gabriele Cosmo (op-V08-03-00)
              Use call to G4GeometryTolerance instead of kCarTolerance in
              G4OpBoundaryProcess.
              Requires tag "global-V08-03-00" and related tag set.

11th May 2006 Peter Gumplinger (op-V08-00-01)
              thanks to Andreia Trindade and Pedro Rodrigues, the WLS time
              delay can now be a delta function or exponential. New classes:
              G4VWLSTimeGeneratorProfile, G4WLSTimeGeneratorProfileDelta and
              G4WLSTimeGeneratorProfileExponential

                theFacetNormal for LobeReflection in DielectricMetal

12th August 2004 Peter Gumplinger (op-V06-02-01)
                In G4OpBoundaryProcess.cc: use GetMaterial from 
                G4StepPoint directly; apply/sample reflectivity and 
                Unified model reflection parameters only once even
                for rough dielectric/metal surfaces - i.e. not again
                even when reflected ray still points toward the
                surface - fixes problem report 654.

05th August 2004 Peter Gumplinger (op-V06-02-00)
                Allow for unified model reflectivity parameters
