release note version guinapig++-0.4.0-b

The main change of this version concerns the naming of output files which were named pairs.dat or pairs0.dat.

It seemed (to me, GLM) a little bit inconsistent, in case of activating keyword 'do_compt' without calculating pairs to have : do_compt=1 with do_pairs=0 and trackpairs=1 and store_pairs=2. The output comptons being in pairs.dat.

That is why, from now on, the entities created by do_pairs=1, do_compton=1 or do_bhabhas = 1 will denominated in a unique way : 'secondaries'. As a consequence, when calculating pairs you should have in the data file acc.dat, for example :

do_pairs = 1;
track_secondaries = 1;
store_secondaries = 2;

The new keywords track_secondaries and store_secondaries have the same meaning and use as the old ones's : track_pairs and store_pairs which are from now on invalidated. The output files are : secondaries0.dat for initial pairs and secondaries.dat for final pairs.

In a similar way, if you wish get comptons, you could have :

do_pairs = 0;
do_compt = 1;
track_secondaries = 1;
store_secondaries = 2;

The output files are yet : secondaries0.dat for initial pairs and secondaries.dat for final pairs.

For bhabhas :

do_pairs = 0;
do_bhabhas = 1;
track_secondaries = 1;
store_secondaries = 2;

(same output files)

The keywords do_pairs and do_bhabhas are incompatible.
