| 2 | + Geant4 6.0 - patch-01 Release Notes |
| 3 | + ----------------------------------- |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | + 11 February 2004 |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +List of fixes included in this public patch since release 6.0: |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | + o Configuration: |
| 10 | + ------------- |
| 11 | + + Configure: |
| 12 | + o Corrected defaults for shared-libs build. |
| 13 | + + architecture.gmk: |
| 14 | + o Protect OGLFLAGS against containing include path to /usr/include. |
| 15 | + This may cause wrong includes to be picked up. |
| 16 | + + Darwin-g++.gmk: |
| 17 | + o Adopt "g++" as the default as compiler. |
| 18 | + o Corrected procedure for building .dylib shared libs. |
| 19 | + Previous default Linux commands do not work on MacOSX. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | + o Geometry: |
| 22 | + -------- |
| 23 | + + magneticfield: |
| 24 | + o G4UniformMagField: added missing implementation for |
| 25 | + GetConstantFieldValue(). Fixes bug report #575. |
| 26 | + + navigation: |
| 27 | + o Modified G4PropagatorInField::ReEstimateEndpoint() to cope with |
| 28 | + a failure of AccurateAdvance(), by calling it iteratively up maximum |
| 29 | + 20 times. |
| 30 | + o Fix in G4PropagatorInField::SetVerboseLevel(): now forwarding the |
| 31 | + verbosity to integration driver. |
| 32 | + + solids/CSG: |
| 33 | + o Converted strong exceptions in warning notifications for rare |
| 34 | + anomalous conditions in DistanceToOut(p,v,..). |
| 35 | + o G4Cons: bug fix in DistanceToIn(p,v) to resolve situations of calls |
| 36 | + to DistanceToOut() for points outside. |
| 37 | + + solids/specific: |
| 38 | + o G4PolyhedraSide: fixed bug in which particles could "leak" out the |
| 39 | + center of a face if inner radius = 0. Fixes problem report #547. |
| 40 | + + volumes: |
| 41 | + o G4AssemblyVolume: fixed initial value for 'numberOfDaughters' of |
| 42 | + imprinted volumes copy-numbers. Fixes problem report #566. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | + o Global: |
| 45 | + ------ |
| 46 | + + G4UnitsTable: corrected signatures to consider 'const G4String&' |
| 47 | + wherever applicable. |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | + o Materials: |
| 50 | + --------- |
| 51 | + + G4Material: proper STL handling of 'theElementVector'. |
| 52 | + + Fixed problem in destructor of G4SandiaTable. |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | + o Particles: |
| 55 | + --------- |
| 56 | + + Fixed initialization problems in G4NuclearPropertiesTable: |
| 57 | + o Added initialization of 'indexArray'. |
| 58 | + o Removed internal static member 'theInstance'. |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | + o Electromagnetic low-energy processes: |
| 61 | + ------------------------------------ |
| 62 | + + Fixed memory leaks in G4PenelopeInterpolator and G4PenelopeIonisation. |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | + o Electromagnetic standard processes: |
| 65 | + ---------------------------------- |
| 66 | + + standard: |
| 67 | + o Minor fixes in G4PAIonisation and G4PAIModel. |
| 68 | + + utils: |
| 69 | + o Activated precise range calculation. |
| 70 | + o Added Set methods to G4LossTablemanager to define: binning, |
| 71 | + 'maxEnergy' for muon tables, 'maxEnergy' for precise range. |
| 72 | + o Fixed problem in destruction of PAI model. |
| 73 | + o Fixed bug responsible for problems in cross section of |
| 74 | + delta-electron production from muons. |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | + o Hadronic Processes: |
| 77 | + ------------------ |
| 78 | + + management: |
| 79 | + o Fix for suspended particles. Solves a problem seen in neutron_hp |
| 80 | + elastic scattering. |
| 81 | + + chiral_inv_phase_space: |
| 82 | + o Porting of experimental interface classes. |
| 83 | + o Provided implementation of missing cases which was cause of |
| 84 | + crashes in ATLAS production. |
| 85 | + + neutron_hp: |
| 86 | + o Fixed conflict with system variable name. |
| 87 | + + parton_string: |
| 88 | + o Lower bound added to transverse mass distribution, to enable |
| 89 | + diffractive scattering for gammas. Was cause of a crash in ATLAS |
| 90 | + productions. |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | + o Optical processes: |
| 93 | + ----------------- |
| 94 | + + Fix in the initialization of the G4OpBoundaryProcessStatus at the |
| 95 | + beginning of its DoIt(), now set to "Undefined". This should allow |
| 96 | + a user to correctly get the process flag from the UserSteppingAction() |
| 97 | + through the public function G4OpBoundaryProcess::GetStatus() |
| 98 | + even when the (forced) DoIt() was called when the optical photon |
| 99 | + track was not at a boundary, or when medium1 == medium2. |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | + o Parameterised processes: |
| 102 | + ----------------------- |
| 103 | + + G4FastSimulationVector: use std_pvector:: scope for calls to |
| 104 | + base class. Fixes compilation problem on Intel-icc compiler. |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | + o Transportation processes: |
| 107 | + ------------------------ |
| 108 | + + Fixed a bug in G4UserSpecialCuts related to 'charged-geantino'. |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | + o Run: |
| 111 | + --- |
| 112 | + + Updated date to run-manager. |
| 113 | + |
| 114 | + o Track: |
| 115 | + ----- |
| 116 | + + G4VParticleChange: removed unnecessary 'const' qualifier to return |
| 117 | + value in GetAccuracyForWarning() and GetAccuracyForException() |
| 118 | + causing noisy compilation warnings on Intel-icc compiler. |
| 119 | + |
| 120 | + o Visualization: |
| 121 | + ------------- |
| 122 | + + management: |
| 123 | + o Fixed compilation problems on Intel-icc compiler. Added missing |
| 124 | + forward declaration of G4VisStateDependent to G4VisManager. |
| 125 | + + HepRep: |
| 126 | + o Fixed handling of symbols zcalloc and zcfree of the zlib library |
| 127 | + being called as C++ mangled names. |
| 128 | + o Renamed zutil.h, zlib.h and zconf.h into HepRep-zutil.h, ... to |
| 129 | + avoid conflicts with those files on Unix systems if /usr/include |
| 130 | + or /usr/local/include is on the include search path. |
| 131 | + o Fixed compilation problems on Intel-icc compiler. |
| 132 | + |
| 133 | + o Examples: |
| 134 | + -------- |
| 135 | + + Updated reference outputs. |
| 136 | + + extended/analysis/A01 |
| 137 | + o Fixed physics lists for EM processes. |
| 138 | + |
