Geant4 9.5 - patch-02 Release Notes
-----------------------------------
22 October 2012
List of fixes included in this public patch since the public release 9.5.p01:
o Environments
------------
+ G4Py:
o Updated scripts for use of internal CLHEP module.
o Added necessary updates for 9.5.p01. Addressing problem report #1317.
o Fixed logics in configuration script for specifying Python include
path. Addressing problem report #1316.
o Fixes in pyG4VisManager: added static statement for GetVerbosity() and
fixed GetConcreteInstance() returning an insufficient class pointer.
Addressing problem report #1318.
o Digits_Hits:
-----------
+ G4VScoringMesh: avoid updating size and segment in command-line scoring
and print warning when SetSize() or SetNumberOfSegments is called more
then once.
o Error Propagation:
-----------------
+ Fixes in G4ErrorTrackLengthTarget and G4VErrorLimitProcess to solve
memory leak. Addressing problem report #1284.
+ Fixed variable name (partType -> partName) in G4ErrorFreeTrajState
and delete code not needed in G4ErrorPhysicsList.
+ Explicitly use inclusion of headers for system of units and physical
constants and fixed spurious cases of hidden variables.
o Event:
-----
+ Correction for orthogonalization of rotation matrix in
G4SPSPosDistribution::GenerateRotationMatrices() method.
Addressing problem report #1299.
o Geometry:
--------
+ biasing:
+ divisions:
+ management:
o Fixed trivial cases of variable shadowing.
+ navigation:
o G4Navigator: added method GetGlobalExitNormal() to be used in place
of GetLocalExitNormal() by optical processes, to address problem
report #1300. Compute normals also for replicas.
Moved internal methods GetSavedState() and RestoreSavedState() to
protected.
o G4PropagatorInField, G4VIntersectionLocator: corrected two arguments
of IntersectChord() to be const references instead of copy (fix for
CPU performance).
o G4Navigator, G4MultiNavigator and G4ErrorPropagationNavigator:
use 'true' as default value for state keeping.
o Fixed trivial cases of variable shadowing.
+ solids/Boolean:
o G4SubtractionSolid: refined protection for potential cases of
infinite loop in DistanceToIn(p,v); return computed distance instead
of zero and provide more descriptive information when issuing warning.
+ solids/BREPS:
o Fixed trivial cases of variable shadowing.
+ solids/CSG:
o G4Para::SurfaceNormal(): fixed calculation of sin(alpha) from
cosine and tangent.
o G4Torus: revised values of delta, to account for precision loss
in calculating radius 'pt'. Reordered a few computation for better
FP accuracy.
+ volumes:
o Corrected GNUMakefile for spurious inclusion path.
o Global:
------
+ G4PhysicsVector: added GetMaxEnergy() inlined method; indicate inline
methods in header file by explicitly adding inline keyword; added inline
method Value() and private method ComputeValue() in order to have inline
access to the value for the case of multiple calls with the the same
energy value.
+ Correction to G4PhysicsOrderedFreeVector to fix ordering of elements.
+ G4UnitsTable: added call to BuildUnitsTable() from static accessor to
guarantee proper initialization of units in static calls.
Modified warnings in cout to be compliant with G4Exception syntax.
+ Implemented workaround to aid for templated symbols of
G4ReferenceCountedHandle to be properly imported/exported
for DLL build on Windows systems based on CMake.
Addressing problem report #1329.
+ Fixed trivial cases of variable shadowing.
+ Updated date and version for 9.5.p02.
o Intercoms:
---------
+ Fixed trivial cases of variable shadowing.
o Interfaces:
----------
+ Fix in G4UIWin32 to make it work on Win64; replaced [Get|Set]WindowLong()
with [Get|Set]WindowLongPtr() and GWL_USERDATA by GWLP_USERDATA.
o Particles:
---------
+ Fixed bug in decay table for k_star-.
+ Modified G4eDecayProduct to use std::vector instead of fixed size array,
removing limitation of number of daughters.
o Persistency:
-----------
+ ASCII:
o Fixed case of conversion from size_t to G4int in G4tgrUtils in
function AreWordsEquivalent(), detected on win64 system.
+ GDML:
o Proper handling of constant material properties.
o Fixed trivial cases of variable shadowing.
o Electromagnetic Processes:
-------------------------
+ Standard:
o G4eplusAnnihilation: fixed weight propagation for annihilation at rest.
o G4IonFluctuations: use simplified algorithm for very small steps to
avoid infinite loop in tracking of very low energy (~10 eV) ions.
Addressing problem report #1345.
o G4UrbanMscModel90: added protection against very low step limit to
avoid infinite loop in tracking of very low energy (~10 eV) ions.
Addressing problem report #1345.
o G4UrbanMscModel92: use more loose protection against large angle
scattering (1000 -> 10000).
o Added missing reference to G4UrbanMscModel92 files in CMake script.
+ Utils:
o Fixed weight propagation from primary to secondaries in G4VEmProcess.
o Hadronic Processes:
------------------
+ cross_sections:
o G4HadronCrossSections: use cache of previous cross-section and G4Pow
to save some CPU time.
+ management:
o G4HadronicProcess: avoid cross-section computation in PostStepDoIt
for neutral hadrons (minor improvement in CPU time).
+ models/binary_cascade:
o Fixed case of use of Lorentz vector explicit contructor in
G4BinaryCascade.
+ models/CHIPS:
o Fix to linear table update for quasi-elastic cross-sections, also
responsible for event non-reproducibility.

o Fixed cases of use of Lorentz vector explicit contructor in
G4QFragmentation and G4Quasmon.

reaction. Addressing problem report #1338.

chosen.

o G4WHadronElasticProcess: fixed time and weight of recoil nuclear.
o Fixed trivial cases of variable shadowing.
+ stopping:
o G4PiMinusAbsorptionBertini: if Bertini fails to interact projectile,
return untouched projectile track as G4ParticleChange, so process
manager can decay it.
