                  Geant4 10.0 - patch-04 Release Notes
                  ------------------------------------
 
                                                             6 March 2015
 
 List of fixes included in this public patch since the public release 10.0.p03:
 
   o Geometry:
     --------
     + navigation:
       o G4Navigator: corrections in the computation of exit normal and small
         fix to calculation of stored step endpoint, for steps that do not hit
         a boundary. Some code cleanup.
       o Added protection in G4ReplicaNavigation::DistanceToOutRad() for
         potential rare cases of negative value to sqrt() in equation
         calculation for rmin/rmax intersection.
       o G4ErrorPropagationNavigator: added GetGlobalExitNormal() method to
         match the update of G4Navigator interface made back in release 9.5.
         Fix to make normal a unit vector, and fixed Coverity defect to protect
         against null 'target'. Revised implementation of ComputeStep(),
         to avoid calling G4Navigator::ComputeSafety().
         Addresses problem report #1679.
     + solids/CSG:
       o Fixed typo in copy-ctor and assignment operator for G4Tubs and G4OTubs.
       o Fix in temporary class G4OTubs to include symbol in library in any case.
     + solids/specific:
       o Fixed triangularisation method AddGeneralPOlygoneFacets() in
         G4ExtrudedSolid by avoiding flat triangles. Added warning message to
         G4TriangularFacet constructor if Area is 0; i.e., case of flat triangle.
         Addressing problem report #1703.
       o Added special DistanceAway() method for Inside() in order to fix
         precision problem in calculation of DistanceToSide() in G4PolyconeSide.
       o Fix in SetOriginalParameters() for G4Polycone and G4Polyhedra, in case
         of presence of 'rings' structures. Addressing problem report #1705.
       o Use canonical form for operator=() in G4PolyconeHistorical and
         G4PolyhedraHistorical.
     + solids/usolids:
       o UPolycone: correction in Capacity() for iteration over the number of
         sections and in SurfaceArea() in case opening-angle is less than 2*pi.
         Fixes in InsideSection() for openPhi when StartPhi is negative,
         in Init() for Polycone defined from ZPlane[0]>ZPlane[N],
         and in DistanceToOut() for points starting on internal surface.
         Fix in InsideSection() for points(0,0,z).
         Fix in SetOriginalParameters(), in case of presence of 'rings'
         structures constructed by (r,z) corners.
         Use canonical form for operator=(). Code cleanup and formatting.
       o Added special DistanceAway() method for Inside() in order to fix
         precision problem in calculation of DistanceToSide() in UPolyconeSide.
       o Fixed typo in copy-ctor and assignment operator for UTubs.
       o UPolyhedra: moved Extent() from protected to public.
       o UTet: fixed approximation in Extent().
       o Minor fixes of errors reported by Coverity and unit tests in
         UTubs,UCons, UTet.
       o Removed useless 'inline' specification for pure virtual function
         StreamInfo() in VUSolid base class.
       o Renamed ExceptionSeverity struct to UExceptionSeverity in UUtils to
         avoid possible clashes with external libraries.
     + volumes:
       o Avoid post-increment in G4NavigationLevelRep::AddAReference().
 
   o Generic Processes:
     -----------------
     + Management:
       o Fixed logic in G4ProcessManager::SetProcessOrderingToSecond() to make
         sure the process is always set before the process that has ordering
         index 1.
     + Transportation:
       o G4Transportation, G4CoupledTransportation: in AlongStepGetPIL(),
         initialize restMass with G4DynamicParticle (as is used in DoIt()),
         not with G4ParticleDefinition. Resolves inconsistent kinematics
         when dynamic mass is measurably different from "PDG" mass.
 
   o Global:
     ------
     + G4FPEDetection.hh: restrict FPE trapping to GCC only, excluding CLang.
       Addresses problem with Qt generating an apparent FPE deep inside its
       code with MacOSX CLang builds.
       Added call to 'sigfillset' to clear any signals before any use of
       sigset_t in InvalidOperationDetection() for both MacOS and Linux, as
       suggested in specifications.
     + Added missing G4GLOB_DLL specification for DLL import/export to
       G4CacheDetails specialization of cache reference for double.
     + Updated date and version for 10.0.p04.
 
   o Persistency:
     -----------
     + gdml:
       o Fixed typo in G4GDMLWriteSolids::BooleanWrite() for the case of
         repeated displacements of the reference solid in the same Boolean
         operation (issue reported by ATLAS).
       o Correction to G4GDMLReadMaterials::MixtureRead() to revert order of
         reading (first elements then materials) for mixtures by fraction;
         corrects referencing for cases when elements and materials may carry
         the same name (case reported by ATLAS).
 
   o Physics Lists:
     -------------
     + constructors/hadron_inelastic:
       o Added protection in destructors to avoid double deletes. 
     + constructors/limiters:
       o Fix in G4ParallelWorldProcess to correctly use method
         SetProcessOrderingToSecond().
     + lists:
       o INCLXXPhysicsListHelper: avoid use of G4NeutronTrackingCut
         for *_HP physics-lists.
 
   o Processes - Hadronic:
     --------------------
     + management:
       o G4HadronicProcess::CheckResult(): added check for dynamic mass 
         to correspond to PDG mass within ~10%.
     + models/cascade:
       o G4CascadeInterface: fixed possible infinite-loop condition where
         (nTries >= maxTries) and momentum balance fails.
     + stopping:
       o G4HadronStoppingProcess, G4MuonMinusBoundDecay: fixed time of muon 
         nuclear capture secondaries. Addressing problem report #1695.
 
   o Examples:
     --------
     + Updated reference outputs.
 
 
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
