      propagation in fewer steps --> performance optimisation
- G4FieldManager: 
    Changed default accuracy parameters to much better values:
        Epsilon Min Default  to 5.0e-5  from 5.0e-7  (too small)
        Epsilon Max Default  to 0.001   from 0.05    (far too big)

Nov  7th, 2003  J.Apostolakis - field-V05-02-07

-----------------------------
- Revised G4ChordFinder:
  * FindNextChord now provides next Step estimate (for accuracy in Integr.)

    including LastStepEstimate_Unconstrained.
- G4MagIntegratorDriver:
  o Keep simple statistics on number of steps, total error and step size.
  o Took out an unneccessary square root (in loop).
- NOTE:    tests field0X are to be migrated.
  Purpose: fixes, small performance boost, simple statistics.

Apr 2nd, 2003      G. Cosmo - field-V05-00-01
---------------------------
- Created .cc files for G4MagneticField and G4ElecroMagneticField.
- Fixed definition of copy constructors in fields inheritance chain.
- Moved obsolete method StepWithEst() to private in G4RKG3_Stepper,
  G4CashKarpRKF45 and G4ClassicalRK4.
- Cleared strict pedantic warnings.

Feb 5th, 2003      G. Cosmo - field-V05-00-00
---------------------------
- Removed redundant inclusions of PhysicalConstants.h or SystemOfUnits.h.
  Now using directly CLHEP's headers.

Dec 12th, 2002     G. Cosmo - field-V04-01-06
---------------------------
- Moved unused variable 'nStpPr' to debug section in G4MagIntegratorDriver.cc,

- Merged changes by Makoto for migration to new G4ApplicationState in
  messengers of unit tests.

Nov 29th, 2002     J. Apostolakis - field-V04-01-04
---------------------------------
Further fixes for unitialised variable - in other steppers:
G4ExplicitEuler, G4ImplicitEuler, G4ImplicitEuler

Large memory leak fix for G4ImplicitEuler, small for ExplicitEuler.
Test accuracy requirements for spin adjusted.

Nov 20th, 2002     J. Apostolakis - field-V04-01-03
---------------------------------
Further fixes for unitialised variables:

* G4MagIntegratorStepper
  -  Created instance variables for number of Integration, State variables

* G4MagErrorStepper
  -  Utilise number of State variables to initialise full state of Output.

* G4Mag_SpinEqRhs
  -  Initialise the values of dydx that we do not update.

Note: Undoing these changes and the ones below would enable the user to see 
        if undefined values are used in variables that he/she expects to 
        have integrated.
      BUT the fix assists us to find truly undefined values elsewhere
        -- if they exist -- using valgrind.

Nov  9th, 2002     J. Apostolakis - field-V04-01-02
---------------------------------
Fixes to address use of uninitialised variable in seting values of FieldTrack
(this was done by design, but was neither ideal or always well-behaved.)
Changed:

* G4MagIntegratorDriver
  - Added instance variables for number of Integration, State variables
  - Initialise all State variables of Output with values from initial variables.
  - Only the Integration variables will be integrated

* G4ClassicalRK4 and G4MagErrorStepper
  - Copy the initial time to intermediate and output C-vectors, 
     in order to provide a zero-eth estimate value.
  Note1: Should clean-up this fix, making it similar to Driver (above)
  Note2: Should *not* be used for time varying field unless created 
           with at least 8 integration variables
---------------------------------  
G4ChordFinder.cc
  - Correction from zero dChord
      which is does not update the Unconstrained step estimate (state)
  - Added instance variables to store number of calls and chord-trials
      and new print method for 'debugging'

G4Mag_UsualEqRhs.cc
  - Attempted approximations for speedup  *overwritten* by full inverse sqrt.


Oct  29th, 2002   J. Apostolakis - test-V04-01-02

  Changed tests to use the new method SetChargeMomentumMass of 
  PropagatorInField in order to be ready for its full use in 
  G4PropagatorInField.

 - G4MagIntegratorDriver
    o More information in debug printing (tangent cosine, norm)

May   7th, 2002   J. Apostolakis
--------------------------------
- G4MagIntegratorDriver  -  ( on trunk )

for steps smaller than the chord finder's minstep.

May   7th, 2002   J. Apostolakis
--------------------------------
- G4MagIntegratorDriver  -  **  branch ** on 1.20 **
  * Fix to update the field track for steps smaller than the chord finder's 
minstep. 

May   7th, 2002   J. Apostolakis
--------------------------------
- G4MagIntegratorStepper
  * Changed RightHandSide from a virtual method to an inline (non-virtual) 
      method -- it is not and should not be changed by derived classes.

Mar 28th, 2002  J. Apostolakis - field-V04-00-01
-----------------------
- Fixed LinearStep in G4MagHelicalStepper (expected unit direction), 
    that had not been updated for new integration variable (momentum).
    --> found in testing helical steppers in BaBar setup, 
         in region of negligible field.

- Changed maximum number of steps in driver, 
    halving from 500/order to 250/order.

Mar 28th, 2002  J. Apostolakis
-----------------------
- Committed directory "OtherField" with examples of fields,
    Delphi, Quadropole etc.

    several steppers, and modified test script test.sh accordingly.


Feb  2nd, 2002   V. Grichine
------------------------
Update of test/field02 to utilise new features 
  - for Electric Field, to signal that a field modifies the energy;
  - updating of time by integration, for time dependent fields.

Jan 10th, 2002  G. Cosmo - field-V04-00-00
------------------------
- Activated G4DEBUG_FIELD in GNUmakefile.

Jan 7th, 2002  J. Apostolakis
-----------------------------
- G4MagHelicalStepper.cc: renamed local variables "*Momentum*" to "*Velocity*".

Dec 4th, 2001  G. Cosmo - field-V03-02-08
-----------------------
- Fixed interface to virtual functions in the inheritance chain.
  Added 'virtual' qualifier to destructor and GetFieldValue() for subclasses
  of G4Field which may act as base class for user-defined fields.
  Modified files: G4MagneticField.hh, G4UniformElectricField[.hh.cc],
                  G4UniformMagField.hh.
- G4ChordFinder.cc: the unphysical curve length exception has been moved to
  inside #ifdef G4DEBUG_FIELD. Other #ifdef renamed to G4DEBUG_FIELD.
- G4LineSection[.hh.cc]: correction for A=B when the distance from P to A
  is returned (V.Grichine).

Nov 28th, 2001  J. Apostolakis - field-V03-02-07
------------------------------
G4FieldManager
- Added fFieldChangesEnergy data member and get/set methods
 ( required to allow transportation to know how to calculate end-time,
   enabling the integration of time only for electric fields. )

Nov 28th, 2001  J. Apostolakis - field-V03-02-06
------------------------------
Small fixes only:

G4CashKarpRKF45
- fixed deletion of unassigned pointer/array in destructor. (-> Volodya Velev)

G4EqMagElectricField
- bug fixed in the formula for inverse velocity             (-> V. Grichine)

Nov 21st, 2001  G. Cosmo - field-V03-02-05
------------------------
- Protected verbose warnings with G4FIELD_DEBUG flag in G4ChordFinder.cc
  (V.Grichine).
- Replaced G4DEBUG with G4DEBUG_FIELD in G4MagIntegratorDriver.cc.
- Updates to unit test field02.

------------------------
- Removed warnings on gcc-2.95.2.
- Included unit tests field01, field02, field03.

Nov 9th, 2001  J. Apostolakis - field-V03-02-03
-----------------------------
Motivated by the use case of an Electric Field,
 - in order to achieve reasonable accuracy in time integration,
 - and to enable fields that vary with the global time)
we (John Ap. and V. Grichine) changed the following:

- Modified G4Field to allow the time in the GetFieldValue method 
     - as 4th component of the "position" array.

- Modified EquationOfMotion to provide the time to the GetFieldValue method
   of G4Field
      * as the 4th component of a position / time  4-array
      * in place of only position as a 3-arry

- Added the global time as variable to be integrated over in the 
   case of an Electric Field

Support for these modifications is required in G4Transportation.

(Better support will require either
 - a modification in G4FieldTrack to indicate whether the time has been
    integrated or not.  
 - or additionally making the time calculation a property of G4FieldTrack,
    bring in code to do it in from G4Transportation.)


Nov  8th, 2001  J. Apostolakis - field-V03-02-02
------------------------
- Introduced several changes in G4MagIntegratorDriver.

   It now respects its minimum driver step size in AccurateAdvance.
     * whereas before it did not.

   Modified maximum number of steps, lowering by factor of 10.
     -> it should reduce the time spent integrating low energy particles,
	 in some cases where it is unneccessary.

   Protected printing of (nearly?) all warnings with a G4DEBUG_FIELD  #ifdef.


Nov 05th, 2001  G. Cosmo - field-V03-02-01
------------------------
- Fixed trivial warnings on Linux-g++.

Aug 27th, 2001  J. Apostolakis - field-V03-02-00
------------------------------
Tagged last change.
This tag is utilised in transport-V03-02-01 (which requires it).

Aug 16th, 2001  J. Apostolakis
------------------------------
G4ChordFinder:
 Added method to erase/reset the state of the StepEstimate.
 This is unwanted internal state that was carried between tracks and
     events as a side effect.

 Calling this at the start of each track, it is now possible to
 eliminate a non-repeatability that was possible due to this.
    ( It has been observed in particular in vaccuum. )

May 23rd, 2001  J. Apostolakis - field-V03-01-02
------------------------------
- Added Exception to G4RKG3Stepper constructor: the class does not work

------------------------------
- Fixed G4FieldManager constructors to give default values to delta
  parameters.

- Updated testPropagateSpin (it now compiles), 
   and some outputs of testPropagateMagField (1 to 5)


Apr 12th, 2001  P. Gumplinger - field-V03-01-00
-----------------------------
- Updated G4Mag_SpinEqRhs.hh and G4Mag_SpinEqRhs.cc for correction
  to spin tracking.

Apr 04th, 2001  G. Cosmo - field-V03-00-05
------------------------
- G4FieldTrack.icc: fixed pedantic warnings on Linux-g++.

Mar 23rd, 2001  J. Apostolakis - field-V03-00-04
------------------------------
- Electric Field unit test now works: test runs until completion.
   Test outputs saved (on Linux).

- Fixed src/G4UniformElectricField.cc to set correct field components
                                      (compatible with Equation of Motion
                                       G4EqMagElectricField )

- Tidied G4FieldTrack
   * deleted obsolete methods Set/Get MomentumModulus() and its data member.
   * in constructor to set the value of the spin to (0.0, 0.0, 0.0) 
          if pSpin is null.  (It was undefined.)

Mar 23rd, 2001  J. Apostolakis - field-V03-00-03
------------------------------
- Fixed (hacked) CashKarp to work using Auxiliary Stepper.   

- Modified G4MagIntegratorStepper 
     to use pointer to G4EquationOfMotion
            instead of G4Mag_EqRhs

- Design iteration appears neccessary

Mar 23rd, 2001  J. Apostolakis - field-V03-00-02
------------------------------
- Fixed G4MagHelicalStepper::AdvanceHelix for momentum, allowing
    the possibility of (correct) use of all Helical Steppers. 

- test/testProElectroMagField.cc updated for momentum.
    (Not yet updated: Spin tests)


Mar 19th, 2001  J. Apostolakis - field-V03-00-01
------------------------------
- Tagging the modification of several classes to integrate in momentum*c_light
    instead of velocity.  
  Reason for change:  Velocity integration can result in superluminar
    velocities,  due to arithmetic inaccuracies.
  Classes modified: 
    G4FieldTrack,   (Changed components 3,4,5 of SixVector to Momentum,
    G4Mag_EqRhs, G4Mag_UsualEqRhs, G4EqMagElectricField

Feb 20th, 2001  J. Apostolakis 

- Modified several classes to integrate in momentum instead of velocity.

 G4FieldTrack:
     Changed components 3,4,5 of SixVector to Momentum,
     Modified constructor
     Added energy calculation to "LoadFromArray" method
     GetEnergy method is now implemented. 
     Deleted obsolete (old) method names for Curve and Position. New have "Get"

 G4ChordFinder
     Renamed old-method names of Field Track to new ones. 

Jan 29th, 2001  G. Cosmo - field-V03-00-00
-------------------------

- Minor fix to G4MagneticField.hh: added explicit call to G4Field() in
  copy constructor. Fixes report #205.

Nov 20th, 2000  G. Cosmo - field-V02-00-02

- Fixes to remove warnings from "-Wall -ansi -pedantic" g++ compiler options:
  o commented out variables declared and not used.
  o fixed declaration of variables used before being initialised.
  o fixed order of initialisation of member data in constructors.
  o fixed usage of unsigned-int (size_t) for array indeces.

Nov 9th, 2000  G. Cosmo - field-V02-00-01

- G4FieldManager: added check on existence of allocated fChordFinder
  in CreateChordFinder(G4MagneticField*) method.

Nov 1st, 2000  G. Cosmo - field-V02-00-00

- QA code revision and cleanup (+fixes from CodeWizard filtering):
  o Added (private) declarations of copy constructor and assignment operator
    where needed.
  o Added "const" qualifier to accessor methods, wherever needed.
  o Added equality check on operator= where needed.
  o Made destructor "virtual" for classes having virtual methods,
    wherever missing.
  o Changed virtual functions to non-inline wherever's the case.
  o Changed return value to be "const" pointer to functions:
    - G4EquationOfMotion::GetFieldObj()
    - G4FieldManager::GetDetectorField()
    - G4MagIntegratorDriver::GetStepper()
  o Fixed and corrected signature to G4MagIntegratorDriver::SetHmin().
  o Added "inline" qualifier to methods' declarations.
  o General cosmetics

Jun 2nd, 2000  J. Apostolakis
- G4FieldManager[.hh.icc]
  o Added DeltaIntersection and DeltaOneStep to FieldManager: added
    Get/Set methods and SetAccuraciesWithDeltaOneStep().

May 31st, 2000  J. Apostolakis - field-V01-01-03

include/G4FieldManager.hh,icc
  o Moved Delta Intersection and Delta One Step to FieldManager
     (from Propagator in Field),  to allow them to differ over the detector.

May 11th, 2000  J. Apostolakis - field-V01-01-02

- G4ChordFinder[.hh.cc]
  o Modified method for finding new trial step.
    New method assumes a quadratic relationship between step-length and d_chord:
            d_chord  proportional  to  step-lenght ^ 2
  o Added two small refinement in order to avoid unneccesary extra step due to
    small numerical inaccuracies in estimation:
      FindNextChord
          to first step       use  (1-0.001) * last-step-estimate
      New Step:
          to subsequent step  use    trial_step = 0.98 * estimate

May 10th, 2000  G. Cosmo

- G4MagneticField.hh: minor fix to dummy implementation of assignment
  operator.

May    9th, 2000   J. Apostolakis - field-V01-01-01

- G4MagErrorStepper: 
    Modified DistChord to check whether the chord endpoint are the same point.

- G4RKG3_Stepper:
    Deleted error message from StepNoErr, as it is used in Stepper.

- G4MagIntegratorDriver:
    Changed the condition for the debug output  (~cosmetic)


April 27th, 2000   G. Cosmo

- Reorganised comments for the Software Reference Manual.
- Moved inlined definition to .icc files, where needed.
  Created: G4ChordFinder.icc and G4FieldManager.icc.

April 13th, 2000   J. Apostolakis - field-V01-01-00

- Modified signature to function DumbStepper() in classes:
  G4HelixExplicitEuler, G4HelixHeum, G4HelixImplicitEuler,
  G4HelixSimpleRunge and G4MagHelicalStepper.
- Modified signature and implementation of function MagFieldEvaluate()
  in G4MagHelicalStepper, to use Field (as ThreeVector) in place of dydx.
- Made Richardson extrapolation optional (it is unclear if
  it offers benefit) in G4MagHelicalStepper.
- Updated unit test testPropagateMagField and reference output.
- G4LineSection: fixes to prevent divisions by 0. and sqrt(<0)
  (V.Grichine).

January  19th, 2000   G. Cosmo - field-V01-00-00

Syncronized versioning of files with HEAD after ISO-C++ migration
(essentially CVS header changes).

December  7th, 1999   J. Apostolakis - field-V00-01-01a

For negative or very small curve lengths (h) we suppress writing an error
(about the distance of endpoints being further than the curve length),
as it is meaningless.

November 23rd, 1999   J. Apostolakis - field-V00-01-01

Tagged this sub-category's state in geometry-V00-01-01


July      6th, 1999   J. Apostolakis - field-01-00-07

These fixes and those in field-01-00-06 and field-01-00-06a all come
from the need to cope with the imprecision of the integration, and its
interaction with paths that are rather straight. 

G4MagIntegrationDriver: 
 i) AccurateAdvance now that the chord distance is smaller than the curve len-
gth (times 1+epsilon).

ii) OneGoodStep and QuickAdvance considers the error of the velocity as well as
the error of the position - and ensure that both relative errors are within
the "eps" maximum given.

G4ChordFinder:
  Having found that the curve_length vs ABdist disrepancy has its basis in
the imprecision of the integration:
  i) Modified the exception in this case to happen only for very large
   relative disrepancies ( 10 * eps ).
 ii) Undertaken a default corrective action in all other cases
Note that this disrepancy only happens for very straight sections of track -
ie step lengths much smaller than the curvature of the track.

July      1st, 1999   J. Apostolakis - field-01-00-06a

In order to cope with the anomalous condition created by candidate fix
in G4PropagatorInField,  we ensure that the fraction_AE is always between
0 and 1.0.  (giving it a default value of 0.5 whenever it is wrong).
( in G4ChordFinder::ApproxCurvePointV )

June     29th, 1999   J. Apostolakis - field-01-00-06

  I re-instated a check on whether the input distance along the curve between
the two input curve points is truly greater than their linear distance.
( in G4ChordFinder::ApproxCurvePointV )

The condition that prints out a warning message has been altered to
take into account the case of a very small final interval. 
( in G4MagInt_Driver::AccurateAdvance )

June     ??th, 1999   J. Apostolakis - field-01-00-05

The condition that prints out a warning message was changed to delete 
an incorrect comparison. 
( in G4MagInt_Driver::AccurateAdvance )

April    19th, 1999   J. Apostolakis - field-01-00-04

G4MagErrorStepper: Cosmetic changes to name of data members

March     4th, 1999   J. Apostolakis - field-01-00-03

Corrected delete statement of arrays to use 'delete[]' instead of simple delete
in destructors of 2 steppers (G4CashKarpRKF45, G4SimpleHeum)

February 17th, 1999   J. Apostolakis -  field-01-00-02

 Moved G4PropagatorInField files to geometry/volumes. 
 Updated GNUmakefile not to depend on geometry/volumes anymore.
   -> the known circular dependency is removed


February 12th, 1999   J. Apostolakis -  field-spin1-works1     (act Feb17)

  A tag that contains the first version that worked with spin (in Peter G.'s
directory).   G4PropagateInSpin is still in this version.  A small change
in a branch of the header file was needed. 


February 10th, 1999   J. Apostolakis 

All the following changes are needed for energy integration also:

G4ChordFinder now passes to the constructed driver the number of variables.
Because of the need for the stepper to know about it in its Abstract interface

-> Moved theNumberOfVariables  from derived class G4MagErrorStepper
                               to base class G4MagIntegratorStepper

As a consequense the classes that derived from G4MagIntegratorStepper directly
were changed: G4CashKarpRKF45, G4MagHelicalStepper, 


February  9th, 1999    J. Apostolakis

Equation of Motion:
G4MagEqRhs.hh  Made SetChargeMomentumMass virtual, so that G4Mag_SpinEqRhs
                 can initialise its constants too. 


February  9th, 1999   P. Gumplinger

Added Equation of Motion for Spin in Magnetic Field.


February 17th, 1999   J. Apostolakis  -  field-01-00-01
  --->  date is correct, made sure that tag does not include above fixes!
  
 Moved G4PropagatorInField files to geometry/volumes. 
 Updated GNUmakefile not to depend on geometry/volumes anymore.
   -> the known circular dependency is removed


---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ------    Geant 4  Production Release   ------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nov   19th, 1998   J. Apostolakis  -  field-00-04-01head ===> R+D version only

 G4PropagatorInField files modified:

   - to store the last safety computed and its origin.
   - to give them to a requester
------------------------------------------------------------------

Nov   19th, 1998   J. Apostolakis  -  field-00-03-03b

 Subtle fix to interface of G4UniformMagField::GetFieldValue  
         ( that tripped Visual C++ )

 G4PropagatorInField:  added printing method for verboseness.

Nov   19th, 1998   J. Apostolakis  -  field-00-03-03a

   Steppers:  Fixed instance variables construction (SimpleRunge)
              and clash of names in CashKarp::StepWithEstimate

   Added post-const to all Field classes for
           void GetFieldValue(const G4double yTrack[] ,
                                 G4double B[]      ) const ;

   Added SetFieldValue methods to UniformMagField

   Added GetConstantFieldValue() methods to Uniform Mag & Electric Fields


Nov   19th, 1998   J. Apostolakis  -  field-00-03-03

   Fixes to Propagate and Steppers

Nov   19th, 1998   J. Apostolakis  -  field-00-03-02

   Minor corrections  (???)

Nov   19th, 1998   J. Apostolakis  -  field-00-03-02
 
   Major development to allow Electric Field
   


June  17th, 1998   J. Apostolakis  -  magfield-06-03

 Modified Files:
        include/G4PropagatorInField.hh
            src/G4PropagatorInField.cc
           test/testPropagateInField.cc
----------------------------------------------------------------------

 1)  Added an assertion after each call to LocateGlobalPointAndSetup. 
     It checks that the located volume is equal to the current volume.
     If this check fails, the Propagator does not know how to continue.

 2)  Added an argument  to ComputeStep method of G4PropagatorInField.
  The new volume argument is used to check the current volume during the step.

 3)  When G4Navigator's ComputeStep returned  stepLength==stepRequested,  this
used to be treated as a failure to intersect.  This is incorrect.

    stepLength==stepRequested is an intersection,
      so I am now treating it as such in each comparison (of 3).
      Ignoring it causes problems, including volume being skipped.
      --> but treating it as an intersection used to cause problems too ??


May    7th, 1998    J. Apostolakis  -  magfield-06-02-helix01

- Tag includes new version of G4ChordFinder (not used by W.Wander).


May    7th, 1998    W. Wander     (recorded/commited by  J. Apostolakis)
