0006
0007 List of fixes included in this public patch to release 5.0:
0008
0009 o Config:
0010 ------
0011 - Added experimental setup WIN32-VC7.gmk for Windows .NET VC++ compiler.
0012 - Generalised identification of WIN32 specific setups in core scripts.
0013 - Forced silent generation of dependencies.
0014 - Configure script: fixed GNUmakefile access problem for correct execution
0015 of flags/libs command options. Added automatic recognition of 'Darwin' OS.
0016 - source/GNUmakefile: included patch to release 5.0.
0017
0018 o Electromagnetic processes (low-energy):
0019 --------------------------------------
0020 - Minor fix in G4QAOLowEnergyLoss to use G4Poisson distribution.
0021
0022 o Electromagnetic processes (standard):
0023 ------------------------------------
0024 + standard:
0025 - Fix for compound materials in G4eBremsstrahlungModel.
0026 - Minor fix in G4PAIonisation and G4PAIxSection to use G4Poisson
0027 distribution.
0028 + muons:
0029 - Fix for compound materials in G4MuBremsstrahlungModel and
0030 G4MuPairProductionModel.
0031 + xrays:
0032 - G4VXTRenergyLoss: removed reduntant headers inclusions and ordered
0033 inclusion for complex numbers to allow porting on Windows .NET VC++.
0034 - Minor fix in G4Cerenkov, G4ForwardXrayTR and G4VXTRenergyLoss to use
0035 G4Poisson distribution.
0036
0037 o General processes:
0038 -----------------
0039 + optical:
0040 - Fix in calculation of polarization for perpendicular incidence
0041 in G4OpBoundaryProcess. Fixes bug report #442.
0042
0043 o Geometry:
0044 --------
0045 + magnetic-field:
0046 - Removed some redundant inclusions of headers.
0047 + management:
0048 - G4VSolid.cc: restored original conditions for extent clipping in
0049 method ClipPolygon().
0050 + solids/Boolean:
0051 - Added set/get functions Set/GetVolumesNameExtension() for volume-name
0052 extension in G4ReflectionFactory. By default now the factory assigns
0053 "_refl" postfix to name of reflected volumes/solids.
0054 - Assumed less strict condition in the G4ReflectionFactory::CheckScale()
0055 method, to avoid precision problems with imported rotation matrices.
0056 + solids/CSG:
0057 - G4Cons: enhanced treatment of phi-sections, according to
0058 algorithm used also in G4Tubs.
0059 + volumes:
0060 - Fix in G4GeometryMessenger to check for geometry closed when commands
0061 are applied. Command /geometry/navigator/reset and test commands apply
0062 only when system is in "Idle" state.
0063 - G4VCurvedTrajectoryFilter: fixed initialisation of data member
0064 in constructor. Fixes crash in visualization under in some setups.
0065 - G4IdentityTrajectoryFilter: added comments for the Software Reference
0066 Manual.
0067
0068 o Global:
0069 ------
0070 - Exclude definition of min/max for Windows .NET VC++ compiler
0071 in globals.hh.
0072 - Use SystemOfUnits.h and PhysicalConstants.h from CLHEP instead of
0073 internal local copies.
0074
0075 o Hadronic processes:
0076 ------------------
0077 + cross_sections
0078 o Fixed bug in Newton method for electro-nuclear cross-sections.
0079 + management:
0080 o Fixed a missing data-member initialization in G4InelasticInteraction.
0081 Fixes bug report #455.
0082 o G4EnergyRangeManager, G4HadronicProcess: adopt exception handling for
0083 'no model found' case.
0084 + models/chiral_inv_phase_space
0085 o Minor fix for memory leak.
0086 o Fixed calculation of the equivalent photon in electro-nuclear.
0087 + models/generator/de_excitation
0088 o Improved performance for gamma evaporation (~30%).
0089 o Minor fix in method G4ExcitationHandler::transform() when calling
0090 erase(), to allow porting on Windows .NET VC++ compiler.
0091 + models/generator/high_energy
0092 o G4TheoFSGenerator: fix for semantics change in track, added Clear()
0093 call to particle-change vector.
0094 + models/generator/scattering
