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.
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
