0092
0093 o Processes - Electromagnetic:
0094 ---------------------------
0095 + dna:
0096 o Fixed compilation warnings on gcc-7.1.
0097 + lowenergy:
0098 o G4LowEPPolarizedComptonModel: fixed FPE in comptation of std::acos().
0099 o Fixed compilation warnings on gcc-7.1.
0100 + standard:
0101 o G4UniversalFluctuation: fixed numerical problem for sampling
0102 low-energy anti-protons with very small steps.
0103 o G4NuclearStopping, G4ICRU49NuclearStoppingModel: fixed nuclear
0104 stopping power computation addressed in Hypernews post #1595 in the
0105 Hadronic Processes Forum.
0106 o G4hIonisation: fixed min/max energy for dEdx table for the case when
0107 the mass of a hadron is very different from the mass of proton.
0108 + utils:
0109 o G4EmCalculator: for computation of the nuclear stopping power, use
0110 concrete model (applied at run time) instead of G4EmCorrections
0111 emulation; to get cross section per volume for discrete processes
0112 use interface of the process. Addressing Hypernwes post #1595 in the
0113 Hadronic Processes Forum.
0114 o G4VEmModel: added extra protected class member for nuclear stopping.
0115 o G4EmSaturation: fixed typo in printout.
0116
0117 o Processes - Hadronic:
0118 --------------------
0119 + models/cascade:
0120 o G4CascadeCoalescence: removed clusterHash() function and 'triedClusters'
0121 registry. Droped redundant calls of tryCluster() with subcombinatorics;
0122 all combinations are handled, uniquely, in main loop over indices.
0123 This eliminates significant memory usage observed with high-energy
0124 applications of BERT.
0125 + models/de_excitation:
0126 o G4DeexPrecoParameters: disabled parameter change in G4_Idle state,
0127 only G4_PreInit is allowed; disabled correlated gamma;
0128 set default time limit to 1000s (if radioactive decay is enabled this
0129 time may be set to the limit of the G4NuclideTable), this allows do
0130 not create extra isomeres if radioactive decay is not included in the
0131 physics list
0132 o G4LevelReader, G4LevelManager, G4PhotonEvaporation: for stable states
0133 (ground state isotopes) set life time to "-1"; changed all checks
0134 accordingly.
0135 o G4LevelReader: issue fatal exception if data file is not open.
0136 Addressing problem report #1942.
0137 o G4PhotonEvaporation: always have gamma transition to the discrete
0138 level (if there is no levels, go to the ground state).
0139 Addressing problem report #1950.
0140 + models/lend:
0141 o Fixed compilation warnings on gcc-7.1.
0142 o Fixed Coverity defects.
0143 + models/particle_hp:
0144 o Added check for He3 projectile. Addressing problem report #1907.
0145 o G4ParticleHPThermalScattering: fixed angular distribution sampling
0146 problem. Addressing problem report #1971.
0147 o Fix in destructor of processes to protect against concurrent deletion.
0148 o Bug fix and improved stability in G4ParticleHPFinalState.
0149 o Suppressed unnecessary warning messages in G4ParticleHPEnAngCorrelation.
0150 o Fixed minor inconsistency between documentation and code.

0155 o G4Fragment: fixed destructor and printout.
0156 o G4PolynomialPDF: fix for potential division by zero.
0157 + util:
0158 o G4GHEKinematicsVector: fixed case of variable shadowing.
0159

0161 ---
0162 + G4RunManagerKernel: removed unnecessary warning message.
0163
0164 o Visualization:
0165 -------------
0166 + Fixed compilation warnings on gcc-7.1.
0167
0168 o Examples:
0169 --------

0184 o Fixed linking problem for static build.
0185 + extended/optical/LXe:
0186 o Fix for issue reported on Hypernews Optical-Photons Forum #651.
0187 + extended/medical/DICOM:
0188 o Fix to DicomRun::RecordEvent() that was incrementing the inherited
0189 numberOfEvent variable from G4Run twice causing the output of the
0190 number of events to be twice the actual value.
0191 o Corrected element definitions for Potassium and Phosphorus in
0192 DetectorConstruction.
0193 + extended/persistency/gdml/G01:
0194 o Updated setup for visualization in main program.
