Geant4 10.0 - patch-02 Release Notes
------------------------------------
13 June 2014
List of fixes included in this public patch since the public release 10.0.p01:
o Configuration:
-------------
+ CMake:
o When static libraries are used, wrap G4physicslists library with flags
suitable to import whole archive. Implemented for GNU, Clang and Intel
compilers. Other compilers require further checks on flags and how to
apply to single library. Functionality needed to support global
registration of templated factories.
o Fixup usage of shared/static builtin libraries. Ensure that shared
builtins do not get linked to static. Added new component 'static'
allowing user to select static Geant4 libraries if they are available.
o Provide advanced option to select thread local storage model when
building multithreaded. Supported default mode: initial-exec model.
o Added zlib and g3tog4 to list of features that --has-feature
recognizes and can query.
o Added -DG4FPE_DEBUG to GNU/Clang flags for Debug build mode.
+ GNUMake:
o Force loading of symbols for templated libraries in physics_lists
module for global libraries.
Defined LDFLAGS for Linux and Darwin targets accordingly.
o Replaced old win32def tool for extracting symbols definitions for
DLLs build on Windows with genwindef used also in CMake.

Addressing problem reports #1603, #1619, #1628.
o Fixed assignment operator for G4FieldTrack, and improved printing.
Fix in SetChargeAndMoments() to use corrected method
SetChargesAndMoments() from G4ChargeState. Revised constructors to
add pdg-spin as last argument (with default -1).
o G4ChargeState: fixed order of arguments in constructor making spin
3rd argument (was 2nd) and making all arguments mandatory; fixing
use of SetChargeMoments() by G4FieldTrack, with addition of spin to
arguments.
o Fix in G4MagIntegratorDriver::OneGoodStep() for use of variable not set.

skipping internal Z sections.
o Implementation of auxiliary methods in UTubs and UCons:
SafetyFromInsideR(), SafetyFromOutsideR(),SafetyToPhi().
These methods are used in Polycone for SafetyfromInside()
calculations. SafetyFromInside() and SafetyFromOutside() are changed
in order to avoid duplications.

o Fixed handling of polyhedron pointer in G4USolid.

and isotopes when loaded from NIST and not explicitly defined by users.
Fixes exporting of names in GDML when writing detector description.

o Processes - Electromagnetic :
---------------------------

+ Phonon:
o Removed inline keywords in methods in G4PhononDownconversion.cc
and make coherent use of G4 types.
+ Transportation:
o Fixed time in case of zero step in G4CoupledTransportation.
This caused a 'going back in time' error, when a zero step occurred
in particular at the boundary of a parallel world volume when scoring.
Addressing problem report #1017.
o Corrected AlongStepDoIt() methods of G4Transportation and
G4CoupledTransportation, to adapt it to corrected signature for
G4FieldTrack constructors, which now take PDG spin; modified to use

Do not call G4PhysicsTable::clearAndDestroy() in destructors of
G4NeutronHPCaptureData, G4NeutronHPElasticData, G4NeutronHPFissionData
G4NeutronHPInelasticData. Because G4PhysicsTable content are manged by
allocators
o Fixed bug in kinematics of residual nucleus in G4NeutronHPCaptureFS.
o Fixes for minor memory leaks and code simplification for better
stability.
o Fixed problem on single temperature data file in class
G4NeutronHPThermalScattering.
Fixed compilation warning message from clang3.4 and gcc-4.9.0.
o Reset isotope pointer to the target G4Nucleus object of reaction in
G4NeutronHPCapturem G4NeutronHPElastic, G4NeutronHPFission and
G4NeutronHPInelastic.
+ models/parton_string:
o Set the minimum energy to apply Reggeon-Cascade at 2 GeV
(it was wrongly set to 5 GeV in G4 9.6.ref03, causing the bump at
5 GeV in the calorimeter visible energy of FTFP_BERT physics list).
It affects the calorimeter energy response of the physics list
FTFP_BERT(_HP), only for showers of hadrons between 4 and 5 GeV.
o Extended the vectors CandAQ, CandQ of G4FTFAnnihilation
in the case of one quark - anti-quark string, in order to correctly
handle antiproton - proton and antineutron - neutron annihilations.
Prepared also for Anti_Delta-- and Delta++ annihilation.
It is expected to affect only antiproton annihilations, with
negligible effects on the simulation of hadronic showers.
o G4LundStringFragmentation: fixed rare crashes in the case of
anti_sigma+ capture at rest on hydrogen; and added protections
against vector access outside the allowed range.
Negligible effects on the simulation of hadronic showers.
o Fix to remove 'inline' qualifier from methods in G4VParticipants
and G4PomeronCrossSection source files, responsible for run-time
errors for undefined symbols in library on clang-3.4 compiler.
+ stopping:
o G4MuMinusCapturePrecompound: added simplified model for capture in
deuterium and in He4; reduced number of trials to find neutrino
4-momentum from 1000 to 100; added protection 1 keV for negative
excitation energy, and substituted FatalException by JustWarning.
o Fixes for Coverity defects in G4MuonMinusCaptureAtRest and
G4AntiNeutronAnnihilationAtRest.
o Readout:
-------
+ Fixed Coverity defects.
o Track:
-----
+ Fixed G4FieldTrackUpdator to energy/momentum passed to field
integration: first set rest mass, then update kinetic energy.

in case 'glu'h' is missing. Addressing problem report #1618.
o Examples:
--------
+ Updated reference outputs.
+ extended/medical/DICOM:
o Reshuffled code for printout in DicomHandler::CheckFileFormat().
+ extended/field/field04:

+ extended/persistency/gdml/G01:
o Correction to solids.gdml for 'para' solid, where angle unit was
missing.
o Added GDML sample mat_nist.gdml showing how to load a NIST material,
although format is not part of the GDML schema yet (i.e. expected
warning in schema validation).
