0007 List of fixes included in this public patch since the public release 7.1:
0008
0009 o Configuration:
0010 -------------
0011 + Excluded usage of unnecessary 'ranlib' at creation of the libraries
0012 for WIN32-VC system. Fixes an observed problem of debug-symbols
0013 corruption.
0014 + Synchronized CXXFLAGS warning options of WIN32-g++ with Linux-g++.
0015 + Fixed Configure script for --incflags and --ldflags options.
0016
0017 o Event:
0018 -----
0019 + Corrected typo in printout in G4GeneralParticleMessenger.
0020 Addresses problem report #786.
0021
0022 o Geometry:
0023 --------
0024 + navigation
0025 o G4DrawVoxels: removed unnecessary 'panic' message in
0026 ComputeVoxelPolyhedra() and some code cleanup.
0027 + solids/BREPS
0028 o Fixed problem of double-deletion in G4BREPSolidPolyhedra and
0029 G4BREPSolidPCone destructors.
0030 + solids/CSG
0031 o Fixed bug in G4Sphere::DistanceToOut(p,v): added check for
0032 intersection with double cone.
0033 o Fixed bug in G4Para::DistanceToOut(p,v) for the case v.x()<0.
0034 Following problem report from user posted on Hypernews (#452).
0035 o Improved implementation for DistanceToIn/Out() in G4Torus to make use
0036 of G4JTPolynomialSolver for precise calculation of the intersections.
0037 + solids/specific:
0038 o Fixed compilation warning on WIN32-VC for G4VSurface.cc.
0039
0040 o Global:
0041 ------
0042 + G4Allocator: initialise esplicitely data in copy-ctor.
0043 + G4AllocatorPool: added default dummy argument to ctor to allow for
0044 default-ctor
0045
0046 o Parameterisations:
0047 -----------------
0048 + Added overflow protection in method GenerateRadius() for
0049 GFlashHomoShowerParamterisation in the 'gflash' module.
0050
0051 o Particles:
0052 ---------
0053 + Fix to prohibit creation of ions in 'PreInit' state to make sure
0054 that proper processes will be attached to the ions.
0055
0056 o Electromagnetic processes:
0057 -------------------------
0058 + high-energy:
0059 o Fix a misprint in G4BetheBlochNoDeltaModel and minor cleanup.
0060 + muons:
0061 o In all energy loss models return protection against the case
0062 tmin>tmax (fixes bug report).
0063 o Fix angular distributions of secondaries and 4-momentum balance
0064 in G4MuBremsstrahlungModel and G4MuPairProductionModel.
0065 o Added protection in G4MuPairProductionModel needed for sampling
0066 of pair energy in the case of low cuts.
0067 + standard:
0068 o In all energy loss models return protection against the case
0069 tmin>tmax (fixes bug report).
0070 o Fix for initialisation of G4eBremsstrahlungModel.
0071 o Fix a bug in calculation of chemical correction in G4BraggIonModel
0072 and fix in G4BraggModel for problem observed when increasing
0073 precision using standard model and chemical effect.
0074 + utils:
0075 o G4VEnergyLossProcess: return number protections against numerical
0076 imprecision, which were used in version 7.0 and removed in 7.1
0077 (fixes bug report)
0078 o Set default lambdaFactor to 0.8 for integral mode (improvement in
0079 CPU performance for low cuts).
0080 o G4VEmProcess: use integral mode only for charged particles.
0081 o G4EmModelManager: fix a cut calculation for the e+e- pair
0082 production physics process.
0083 o G4VMultipleScattering: fixed error in a protection in
0084 GetContinuousStepLimit().
0085 + xrays:
0086 o Changed variable name 'MeanNumPhotons' to 'MeanNumberOfPhotons' in
0087 G4Scintillation and G4Cerenkov to conform with the documentation in
0088 the Application Developers Guide.
