| 2 | + Geant4 6.2 - patch-01 Release Notes |
| 3 | + ----------------------------------- |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | + 27 July 2004 |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +List of fixes included in this public patch since release 6.2: |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | + o Configuration: |
| 10 | + ------------- |
| 11 | + + Configure script: |
| 12 | + o Corrected behavior for setting of CLHEP_BASE_DIR in case the path |
| 13 | + is set to '/usr' or '/usr/local'. Fixes problem report #638. |
| 14 | + + source/GNUmakefile: |
| 15 | + o Fixed search path from absolute to relative. Addresses problem |
| 16 | + report #644. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | + o Digits_hits, Event |
| 19 | + ------------------ |
| 20 | + + Trivial fixes for removal of redundant semicolons in the code. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | + o Geometry: |
| 23 | + -------- |
| 24 | + + divisions: |
| 25 | + o Removed unnecessary forward declaration of HepTransform3D from |
| 26 | + G4ParameterisationBox and G4VDivisionParameterisation. |
| 27 | + + navigation: |
| 28 | + o Fixed zero step-length problem in G4ReplicaNavigation::ComputeStep() |
| 29 | + for cases where different replica types are coincident. Resolves |
| 30 | + problem report #633. |
| 31 | + o G4NormalNavigation: added extra verbosity to print out information |
| 32 | + for each solid which returns a 'lowest-yet' step, including the |
| 33 | + mother volume. It is activated by setting verbose level to 2 or |
| 34 | + more. |
| 35 | + + solids/BREPS: |
| 36 | + o G4BREPSolidPolyhedra and G4BREPSolidPCone: |
| 37 | + Fixed usage of tolerances fir handling surface distances. |
| 38 | + Implemented SurfaceNormal(p) to follow original specifications |
| 39 | + for G4VSolid. |
| 40 | + o G4BREPSolid: |
| 41 | + Fixed usage of tolerances fir handling surface distances. |
| 42 | + o Some code cleanup ... |
| 43 | + + solids/CSG: |
| 44 | + o Fixes curing rare conditions of loops at boundaries for G4Orb |
| 45 | + and G4Sphere. Addresses problem report #547. |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | + o Electromagnetic standard processes: |
| 48 | + ---------------------------------- |
| 49 | + + standard: |
| 50 | + o Improved cross-section parametrisation at low energy for |
| 51 | + ComptonScattering. |
| 52 | + + utils: |
| 53 | + o Correction in G4MscModel::SampleCosTheta() for high-energy particles |
| 54 | + at small step. Fixes some observed deflection of direction for |
| 55 | + particles at high energies. |
| 56 | + o Fixed a problem of G4VEnergyLossProcess observed for ions at small |
| 57 | + cuts in range (ionization, charge>1). |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | + o Hadronic Processes: |
| 60 | + ------------------ |
| 61 | + + models/cascade, util: |
| 62 | + o Trivial fixes for removal of redundant semicolons in the code. |
| 63 | + + chiral_inv_phase_space: |
| 64 | + o Fix for clusterization in G4QNucleus. Correcting problem observed |
| 65 | + in system-testing. |
| 66 | + o Fixed initialization of secondary values dZ,dN,dS in G4QNucleus. |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | + o Run: |
| 69 | + --- |
| 70 | + + Updated date to run-manager. |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | + o Tracking: |
| 73 | + -------- |
| 74 | + + Fix in G4SteppingManager to correct the ordering of secondary tracks |
| 75 | + generated in a step. |
| 76 | + + Moved inlined constructor/destructor for G4Vtrajectory and |
| 77 | + G4VtrajectoryPoint to not inline, and corrected signature of |
| 78 | + operator==() to canonical form. |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | + o Visualization: |
| 81 | + ------------- |
| 82 | + + management: made G4VViewer::ProcessView() public, since used as |
| 83 | + private friend by some client classes. |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | + o Hadronic Lists: |
| 86 | + -------------- |
| 87 | + + Corrected user GNUmakefile sample, to allow for proper installation |
| 88 | + when global compound libraries are used. |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | + o Examples: |
| 91 | + -------- |
| 92 | + + Updated reference outputs. |
| 93 | + + advanced/composite_calorimeter, lAr_calorimeter |
| 94 | + o Fixed configuration setup for hadronic physics lists, to allow |
| 95 | + for proper installation when global compound libraries are used. |
| 96 | + + advanced/Rich, xray_telescope |
| 97 | + o Corrected to new visualization commands in input macro. |
| 98 | + + extended/analysis/A01 |
| 99 | + o Fixed configuration setup for hadronic physics lists, to allow |
| 100 | + for proper installation when global compound libraries are used. |
| 101 | + + extended/geometry/olap |
| 102 | + o Reordered storage of parameters for solids according to arguments |
| 103 | + order in construction in SolidAnalyser. Resolving issue in problem |
| 104 | + report #635. |
| 105 | + |
