0019
0020 o Digits_Hits:
0021 -----------
0022 + G4VScoringMesh: avoid updating size and segment in command-line scoring

0024 then once.
0025
0026 o Error Propagation:
0027 -----------------
0028 + Fixes in G4ErrorTrackLengthTarget and G4VErrorLimitProcess to solve

0031 and delete code not needed in G4ErrorPhysicsList.
0032 + Explicitly use inclusion of headers for system of units and physical
0033 constants and fixed spurious cases of hidden variables.
0034

0045 + management:
0046 o Fixed trivial cases of variable shadowing.
0047 + navigation:
0048 o G4Navigator: added method GetGlobalExitNormal() to be used in place
0049 of GetLocalExitNormal() by optical processes, to address problem
0050 report #1300. Compute normals also for replicas.
0051 Moved internal methods GetSavedState() and RestoreSavedState() to
0052 protected.
0053 o G4PropagatorInField, G4VIntersectionLocator: corrected two arguments
0054 of IntersectChord() to be const references instead of copy (fix for
0055 CPU performance).

0077 methods in header file by explicitly adding inline keyword; added inline
0078 method Value() and private method ComputeValue() in order to have inline
0079 access to the value for the case of multiple calls with the the same
0080 energy value.
0081 + Correction to G4PhysicsOrderedFreeVector to fix ordering of elements.
0082 + G4UnitsTable: added call to BuildUnitsTable() from static accessor to
0083 guarantee proper initialization of units in static calls.
0084 Modified warnings in cout to be compliant with G4Exception syntax.
0085 + Implemented workaround to aid for templated symbols of
