         to be extremely slow and unefficient.
         Use seed_spbox() for seeding MixMax with single seed.
         Avoid hard-coded constant for initialisation of VECTOR_STATE_SIZE in
         MixMaxRng, to directly use actual value of "N" from mixmax generator.
         Corrected check for counter range in method getState().
         Changed default number of N in mixmax generator to 17 (was 256).
         Removed use of obsolete 'register' keyword.

         inverse transformation. Simplified code.
         Re-implemented CalculateExtent() to use new class G4BoundingEnvelope.
     + solids/Boolean:
       o Added new class G4ScaledSolid providing ability to scale dimensions of
         a shape in X, Y or Z.
       o Boosted computation of GetPointOnSurface() for G4BooleanSolid;
         reimplemented algorithm, using cached list of primitives.

           Fixed memory leak in G4OpticalPhysicsMessenger.
         - Partial fix for allowing calls to optical UI commands in "PreInit"
           state. Partially addressing problem report #1832.

           creation by e+ and e-; enabled lateral displacement for muons and
           hadrons.
         - G4EmStandardPhysicsGS: set default range factor to 0.1.
         - DNA and ModelActivator constructors: corrected model/process names;
           adjusted high energy threshold of solvation (kill) in respect to the
           energy range of the elastic model.
           Added G4DNAElectronSolvation to all DNA constructors.

         used in G4HadronHElasticPhysics.
         Use GS multiple scattering with the most precise "error-free"
         stepping instead of the default (Opt0), for the purpose of studying
         the impact of multiple scattering on hadronic showers.
       o Moved code to be inline in G4RegisterPhysLists so that it gets
         compiled as part of the G4PhysListRegistry compilation unit.
         This ensures that all the physics lists declared to the registry are
         referenced by it such that the linker will include them if libraries
         are built statically.

     + management
       o G4HadronicProcess: added flag for "integral" approach to take into
         account cross-section change at a step. Do not create new materials

         if the excitation is below maximum known level energy. 
       o G4NuclearLevelData: added extra methods allowing to access the maximum
         level energy per isotope in level DB. Added method FindLevel() allowing
         to find discrete level for any consumer model.
       o G4DeexPrecoParameters, G4NuclearLevelData: added new class for
         parameters. 
       o G4EvaporationProbability: fixed bug in computation of probability 
         density function; use new method FindLevel() in G4NuclearLevelData when
         sampling kinetic energy of emitted particles; changed interface for
         sampling method. More detailed grid for probabilities.
         Use same sampling algorithm as in the pre-compound model (do not
         interpolate probability).

         limit on excitation energy per nucleon to 100GeV.
       o G4ExcitationHandler, G4EvaporationChannel, G4EvaporationProbability,
         G4NeutronRadCapture: use G4DeexPrecoParameters for initialisation;

       o G4NucLevel, G4LevelManager, G4LevelReader, G4PhotonEvaporation: changed
         data structure for the transition data; instead of final energy, index
         of final level, added multi-polarity of the transition.
         This will allow for correlated gamma emission.

       o Removed specific GEMCoulombBarrier classes per ion.
       o G4PhotonEvaporation: rationalised initialisation in case radioactive
         decay initialisation is incomplete, no effect on hadron inelastic
         interactions.
       o G4DeexPrecoParameters, G4NuclearLevelData, G4ExcitationHandler,
         G4PhotonEvaporation: fixed initialisation in MT mode if physics-list 
         has only radioactive decay.
       o Added c++11 keywords in many headers.
       o Added warning in G4ExcitationHandler for super excited fragments;

         added c++11 keywords, minor cleanup.
     + models/particle_hp
       o Changed default option of GNUmake script; G4PHPDEBUG flag was
         unintentionally activated.
     + models/parton_string
       o Major revision of QGS model; implemented Reggeon cascading and
         associated "Fermi motion". Implemented new algorithm of parton
         kinematical properties determination and calculation of residual
         nucleus properties. Adjusted G4GammaParticipants to the revised
         model.
       o Improved energy-momentum conservation in the QGS model, especially
         in the case of diffraction interactions.
       o G4QGSMSplitableHadron: fixed bug in the case of gamma projectile with
         P_minus = 0.
       o New tuning of FTF model parameters.
       o Introduced various <Pt^2> for diffractive and non-diffractive
         interactions in G4FTFModel, for NA49 and NA61/SHINE experimental data.
       o Fine tuning in G4DiffractiveExcitation for the FTF model, to describe
         NA49 experimental data, especially, <Pt> on Xf.
       o Fix to address the baryon puzzle of NA49 data; <Pt> of baryons 1/2 at a
         string fragmentation setting up at 435 MeV/c, and <Pt> for barion 3/2
         production st 900 MeV/c.
       o Fine tuning of G4LundStringFragmentation. <Pt> of mesons created at 
         quark fragmentation is decreased. <Pt> of baryons created at quark and
         di-quark is increased. Corrected fragmentation functions of qq-> B(1/2)
         and B(3/2). <Pt^2> is increased in 2 times.
         Important for a description of NA49 experimental data on pp-interactions
         at 158 GeV/c, especially for xF and Pt distributions.
       o Introduced smearing of delta-isobar mass; delta-isobars are now treated
         as a kinetic track; improved parameterisation of the quark exchange
         process with excitation.
         NA61/SHINE exp. data on Pi+, Pi-, K+, K- and protons in PP interactions
         at 20, 31, 40, 80 and 158 GeV/c are now described. Now reproducing the
         ratio of <Strane Q>/<Normal Q> in PP interactions. Not describing kink
         in AA interactions.
       o Improved di-quark fragmentation into baryons in Lund string
         fragmentation. Improved description of NA49 and NA61/SHINE exp. data
         on p+p->p+X. Improvements in method SetMinimalStringMass(), relevant
         for Pbar P annihilation.
       o Moved G4PomeronCrossSection class to 'qgsm' module.
     + models/pre_equilibrium
       o G4PreCompoundModel: changed non-equilibrium condition to switch to
         de-excitation; this allows to perform pre-equilibrium emission for
         light nuclei.
       o Migrated classes to use G4DeexPrecoParameters; removed obsolete class
         G4PreCompoundParameters.
       o G4GNASHTransitions: fixed problem in computation of probability.
       o Use nullptr and define internal const as static const.
     + models/radioactive_decay
       o G4RadioactiveDecay: renamed several methods and variables to more
         closely represent their meaning.
         In DoDecay(): added protection for zero pointer in case of missing
         decay channel.  Added new method AddDeexcitationSpectrumForBiasMode().
         In BuildPhysicsTable(), removed initialization of atomic de-excitation
         to avoid overwriting its initialization in EM.
         Throw fatal exception if initialization not done somewhere.
         Initialisation should be now done in physics-lists.
       o Added production of gamma and electron spectra from de-excitation of
         excited levels in the biased mode.
       o Removed obsolete class G4RIsotopeTable.
     + models/util
       o Fixed Coverity defect in G4Fragment.
 
   o Run
     ---
     + Added handling of multiple actions to be instantiated and handled by
       user code. Added G4MultiRunAction class to allow for multiple run actions
       in a single job; added G4MultiPrimaryAction to allow for multiple
       user-primary generation actions in a single job.
     + Renamed all MT related exceptions to have new code matching pattern.
     + Use scoped enum for G4MTRunManager::WorkerActionRequest and
       added PROCESSUI action.
     + Added G4MTRunManager::GetNumberActiveThreads() method.
     + Use new class G4MTBarrier to implement synchronization points.
     + Introduced skeleton for new functionality to force workers to 
       execute UI commands w/o beamOn.
       Introduced new UI command: "/run/workersProcessCmds" to trigger
       execution of UI commands by workers even without a "/run/beamOn";
       C++ API is G4MTRunManager::RequestWorkersProcessCommandsStack().
     + When workers are terminated they execute the UI commands issued
       after the last /run/beamOn
     + Fixed potential memory leak in G4RunMessenger.
     + Disabled multi-scattering during post-step in G4PhysicsListHelper.
       Fixed default process ordering parameters for G4UnknownDecay that
       should not have AtRest.
     + G4AdjointSimManager: correction in the use of run actions to avoid 
       infinite loop during an adjoint simulation.
     + G4AdjointPrimaryGenerationAction: removed 3 times splitting of primary
       adjoint gamma.
 
   o Track & Tracking
     ----------------
     + Change G4VUserTrackInformation pointer in G4Track to mutable and setters
       to be const-methods. This allows the user to set his/her
       G4VUserTrackInformation pointer without casting G4Track const pointer.
     + New G4Multi{Stepping,Tracking}Action classes to allow for multiple
       user-actions in the same job.
 
   o Visualization:
     -------------
     + management:
       o MT mode: moved flush to end of visualization thread; this is so that
         all trajectories are flushed from the thread before switching back to
         master thread. Also fixing picking in MT mode.
       o Introduced UI command /vis/viewer/interpolate.
       o Added some calls to SetView for security.
       o Inhibited use of BeginRun, BeginEvent, EndEvent and EndRun
         when vis is not enabled, for example after /vis/disable.
         In particular this prevents the start of the vis thread in
         multi-threading mode.
       o G4VisExecutive: registered drawing and filtering by touched volume.
       o G4VisCommandsSceneAdd: removed incorrect check on existing models in
         command "/vis/scene/add/volume". It was preventing parallel worlds being
         added individually.
       o Fixed mistake in introductory vis manager message.
       o Improved error tracking: introduced error code to track error
         conditions in G4VVisCommand; tracked error conditions for '/vis/open'
         and '/vis/drawTree' in G4VisCommandsCompound.
       o Improved '/vis/viewer/save'.
       o Use SetWorldVolume() for OriginVolume drawing and filtering. 
       o Code cleanup in G4VisCommandsSceneHandler.
     + modeling:
       o Introduced drawing and filtering by touched volume.
         i.e., "/vis/modeling/trajectories/create/drawByTouchedVolume"
               "/vis/filtering/trajectories/create/touchedVolumeFilter"
         and their associated commands.
         This selects only by a single string, the physical volume name.
         If there are more than one physical volumes with that name then any
         trajectory touching any one of those volumes will be selected.
         If the user sets more than one physical volume name (by using the set
         command more than once) the trajectory will be selected if it touches
         either of those volumes and which of the attributes (e.g., colour)
         associated with those volumes is chosen is arbitrary.
         A more comprehensive facility would allow the user to select by
         touched touchable, i.e., by the full path and copy numbers of the
         physical volume - but that is a job for the future if a use case arises.
       o Added specific arguments to LocateGlobalPointAndSetup() to handle
         multi-threading mode in G4TrajectoryDrawByOriginVolume::Draw() and
         G4TrajectoryOriginVolumeFilter::Evaluate().
       o G4TrajectoryModelFactories: added
         G4TrajectoryDrawByTouchedVolumeFactory.
       o G4TrajectoryFilterFactories: added
         G4TrajectoryTouchedVolumeFilterFactory.
       o Added new files and classes: G4TrajectoryDrawByTouchedVolume and
         G4TrajectoryTouchedVolumeFilter.  
       o G4ModelColourMap: sdded new access function GetBasicMap().
       o G4ModelingParameters: added VisAttributesModifier set commands.
       o Tidied uo G4TrajectoryDrawByOriginVolume.
       o G4TrajectoryDrawByOriginVolume: tidied #include statements.
     + OpenGL:
       o Xm: Ensure all items get flushed to screen, even when
         'eventsDrawInterval' is set greater than 1.
       o Fixed some inconsistencies in "/vis/ogl/set/eventsDrawInterval" and
         "/vis/ogl/set/displayListLimit" commands.
       o Fixed bug in picking output text.
       o G4OpenGLXViewer: Added thread awareness regarding glXMakeCurrent.
       o Fix for notifying multiple OGL X views.
       o Fix in G4OpenGLViewer::getRealPrintFilename() so that files can
         easily be referenced in alphanumeric order.
       o CompareForKernelVisit(): tested for total visualization attributes
         modifiers instead of just for size.
       o Fixed typo for macro G4CONDITIONBROADCAST.
     + OpenInventor:
       o G4OpenInventorXtExaminerViewer: designed new icons (XPM) for the
         "Extended Pick Mode" and "Pick Reference Trajectory" buttons.
       o Modified the mouse-over-trajectory output to make it more clear.
       o Improved diagnostics for Bookmark file handling.
       o New approach for determining distance along the reference path, using
         element centers instead of bounding boxes. Solves problems with spurious
         bounding box warnings and incorrect distance values.
       o G4OpenInventorXtExtended & G4OpenInventorXtExtendedViewer: suppressed
         some unwanted diagnostic output.
       o Fixed setting of transparency type
         (SoGLRenderAction::SORTED_OBJECT_ADD).
       o Fixed dispatching.
       o Fixed Coverity defects.
     + Tree:
       o G4ASCIITreeSceneHandler: prevent multiple writing of the informational
         header on the output file.
     + XXX:
       o CompareForKernelVisit(): tested for total visualization attributes
         modifiers instead of just for size.
