Geant4 8.3 - patch-01 Release Notes
|
||||
-----------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
17 August 2007
|
||||
|
||||
List of fixes included in this public patch since the public release 8.3:
|
||||
|
||||
o Configuration:
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
+ liblist.c: fixed problem affecting recent CygWin installations on
|
||||
Windows in parsing the buffer for the generation of libname.map.
|
||||
+ binmake.gmk: defined OUT internal variable specifying the proper
|
||||
compilation/linking option to Unix or Windows compilers: '-o '
|
||||
and '/Fe' respectively. Cleared <TAB> characters where not necessary.
|
||||
+ SUN-CC.gmk: forced -xO2 as optimisation level.
|
||||
|
||||
o Geometry:
|
||||
--------
|
||||
+ magneticfield:
|
||||
o Relaxed 'FatalException' to 'Warning' in method
|
||||
G4MagIntegratorDriver::AccurateAdvance() for case of step zero and
|
||||
return previous value. This fixes problem observed by ATLAS and CMS
|
||||
in release 8.3 when using very conservative values for field
|
||||
parameters.
|
||||
+ solids/specific:
|
||||
o Fixes in G4Polyhedra::GetPointOnSurface():
|
||||
Correctly treat 'totalPhi' instead of 'endPhi' for the case of open
|
||||
shapes and 'twopi' for not open shapes.
|
||||
Introduced fix for the case when number of sectors (numSide) is equal
|
||||
to 1. At the origin of problems observed when checking overlaps for
|
||||
polyhedra solids defined as such.
|
||||
|
||||
o Global:
|
||||
------
|
||||
+ Changed date for patch-01 to release 8.3.
|
||||
|
||||
o Materials:
|
||||
---------
|
||||
+ G4NistElementBuilder: added protection (Z>=limitNumElements) inside
|
||||
method BuildElement().
|
||||
|
||||
o Hadronic Processes:
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
+ models/chiral_inv_phase_space:
|
||||
o G4QuasiFreeRatios: fixed DB filling (ID update), responsible for
|
||||
excessive growth of memory in long runs. Corrected indexing and
|
||||
computation of cos(theta).
|
||||
+ util:
|
||||
o Three bug fixes in G4ReactionDynamics::TwoCluster(): removed a sharp
|
||||
peak at 180 degrees by fixing a units error and fixed an error in
|
||||
sampling the momentum transfer. Fixed array bound violation which
|
||||
caused in some rare occasions an infinite loop.
|
||||
|
||||
o Physics Lists:
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
+ Correct use of QElasticPhysics in QGSP_QEL list.
|
||||
|
||||

Geant4 9.0 - patch-01 Release Notes
|
||||
-----------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
28 August 2007
|
||||
|
||||
List of fixes included in this public patch since the public release 9.0:
|
||||
|
||||
o Configuration: (*)
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
+ liblist.c: fixed problem affecting recent CygWin installations on
|
||||
Windows in parsing the buffer for the generation of libname.map.
|
||||
+ binmake.gmk: defined OUT internal variable specifying the proper
|
||||
compilation/linking option to Unix or Windows compilers: '-o '
|
||||
and '/Fe' respectively. Cleared <TAB> characters where not necessary.
|
||||
+ SUN-CC.gmk: forced -xO2 as optimisation level.
|
||||
|
||||
o Geometry:
|
||||
--------
|
||||
+ magneticfield:
|
||||
o Fix to DistChord() method for Helical Steppers: adopt 'special' case
|
||||
also for Ang<2pi not only for Ang<pi; use cos() in place of tan(), to
|
||||
improve CPU performance.
|
||||
o In G4HelixMixedStepper added possibility to call different steppers
|
||||
for small steps and add some statistics how offen different steppers
|
||||
are called. Improved AdvanceHelix() to be able to make half step and
|
||||
full step in one call.
|
||||
o G4RKG3_Stepper: improved internal algorithm to use pre-computed values;
|
||||
the stepper now gives comparable CPU performance as ClassicalRK4.
|
||||
o Changed FatalException to EventMustBeAborted in AccurateAdvance()
|
||||
if proposed integration step is negative. (*)
|
||||
+ management:
|
||||
o Added dummy constructor and destructor to G4VPVParameterisation.
|
||||
+ solids/BREPS:
|
||||
o Added missing initialisations of kCarTolerance in alternative
|
||||
constructors for G4BoundingBox3D, G4Curve, G4CurveRayIntersection,
|
||||
G4KnotVector. Addressing problem report #959.
|
||||
+ solids/CSG:
|
||||
o G4Tubs: fixed bug in DistanceToOut(p,v,..) for negative value under
|
||||
sqrt() for the case of point p on the surface and v tangent to the
|
||||
surface. Responsible for rare cases of NaN.
|
||||
+ solids/specific:
|
||||
o Fixes in G4Polyhedra::GetPointOnSurface(): (*)
|
||||
Correctly treat 'totalPhi' instead of 'endPhi' for the case of open
|
||||
shapes and 'twopi' for not open shapes.
|
||||
Introduced fix for the case when number of sectors (numSide) is equal
|
||||
to 1. At the origin of problems observed when checking overlaps for
|
||||
polyhedra solids defined as such.
|
||||
o Fixed dummy constructors of G4Polycone and G4PolyPhiFace for
|
||||
initialisation of 'edges' and 'corners'. Added workaround to
|
||||
initialisation of 'corners' vector in G4PolyconeSide class, to allow
|
||||
for object persistency with Root-I/O.
|
||||
o G4EllipticalCone:
|
||||
- DistanceToIn(p): corrected answer for p.z()<-zTopCut and for the
|
||||
point p on the surface.
|
||||
- DistanceToOut(p,v): now returning positive solution or zero when
|
||||
crossing the elliptical surface.
|
||||
- Fix in DistanceToOut(p) which was giving always zero.
|
||||
- Added some formulas on how to pre-calculate 'SemiAxis' and 'zheight'.
|
||||
|
||||
o Global:
|
||||
------
|
||||
+ Changed date for patch-01 to release 9.0.
|
||||
|
||||
o Graphics Representations:
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
+ Corrected graphical description for G4EllipticalCone in HepPolyhedron
|
||||
and G4Polyhedron.
|
||||
+ G4VGraphicsScene: Added default constructor and virtual destructor.
|
||||
|
||||
o Intercoms:
|
||||
---------
|
||||
+ G4UIbatch:
|
||||
o Bug fixed for the treatment of the last line.
|
||||
o Added support for continued line by '\', '_'.
|
||||
o String after '#' is treated as comment.
|
||||
o White spaces at the head of a line are allowed.
|
||||
o Fixed problem on 32bit-Linux.
|
||||
+ G4UImanager: fixed bug concerning invalid returned object.
|
||||
+ Introduced "/control/getEnv" and "/control/echo" commands.
|
||||
|
||||
o Electromagnetic Processes:
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
+ Polarisation:
|
||||
o Removed/renamed obsolete methods and local variables in
|
||||
classes G4VPolarizedCrossSection, G4eplusPolarizedAnnihilation,
|
||||
and G4PolarizedAnnihilationModel to clear "shadow" warnings on SUN-CC.
|
||||
+ Standard:
|
||||
o G4UniversalFluctuation: added protection such that no sampling of
|
||||
fluctuations is done if mean energy loss at the step is below minimal
|
||||
excitation energy of the media. The fix is important for cases of
|
||||
low-dense gases and very small steps.
|
||||
+ Utils:
|
||||
o G4VEmModel: fixed SelectRandomAtom() method for the selection of
|
||||
elements in a compound material.
|
||||
+ Xrays:
|
||||
o G4VXTRenergyLoss: fixed Valgrind run-time errors for wrong memory
|
||||
allocation by removing internal initialisation of Sandia table and
|
||||
using Sandia table from materials.
|
||||
|
||||
o Hadronic Processes:
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
+ models/chiral_inv_phase_space: (*)
|
||||
o G4QuasiFreeRatios: fixed DB filling (ID update), responsible for
|
||||
excessive growth of memory in long runs. Corrected indexing and
|
||||
computation of cos(theta).
|
||||
+ models/neutron_hp:
|
||||
o G4NeutronHPThermalScattering: removed duplicate declaration of
|
||||
'dirName', already a class member, to clear compilation warning.
|
||||
+ models/util:
|
||||
o G4KineticTrack: changed local variable names to clear compilation
|
||||
warnings on SUN-CC about hiding.
|
||||
+ stopping:
|
||||
o Fixed signature of G4MuMinusCaptureCascade::DoCascade() expecting
|
||||
'const' as arguments for A and Z. Resolves linking problems on SUN-CC.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
-------------
|
||||
+ Removed redundant method declarations and minor tidies.
|
||||
|

default multiple-scattering class instead of MultipleScattering52.
|
||||
+ advanced/microbeam:
|
||||
o Improved dose calculation in the code in order to take into account
|
||||
small energy deposits by any particle around the phantom edge voxels,
|
||||
by suppressing a selection condition on the PostStep. The total result
|
||||
of the dose calculation does not change significantly.
|
||||
o Added protection against scattering at large angles in collimators.
|
||||
o Suppressed field manager in zones with zero field.
|
||||

o Added missing header file G4hIonisation.hh to DMXPhysicsLists
|
||||
translation unit.
|
||||
o Added G4StepLimiter to physics list as correction of migration
|
||||
required since Geant4 release 7.0.

||||
+ extended/electromagnetic/TestEm7:
|
||||
o Updated README for physics-list names.
|
||||

||||
o SteppingAction : modify logic to take into account low energy packages.
|
||||
+ extended/medical/fanoCavity:
|
||||
o Use 'fUseDistanceToBoundary' in physics-list for 'emOptions'. Cleanup.
|
||||
+ extended/medical/GammaTherapy:
|
||||
o Provide possibility to change cuts between runs.
|
||||
+ extended/radioactivedecay/exrdm:
|
||||
o Removed obsolete hadronic builders and use only QGSP_BIC,
|
||||
QGSP_BIC_HP, QGSP_BERT, QGSP_BERT_HP instead.
|
