0125 <LI>A new application state <TT>G4State_Init</TT> is introduced. Geant4
0126     becomes this state during initialization of geometry and physics.
0127     Ordinary users who use G4RunManager or G4MTRunManager
0128     won't see any difference, and thus no migration is required.
0129     For users having their own custom run manager which changes the
0130     Geant4 application state, it is required to make sure the state
0131     change to <TT>G4State_Idle</TT> takes place after the initialization of
0132     geometry and physics. User's custom run manager does not need to
0133     change Geant4 application state to <TT>G4State_Init</TT> as it is

0237     <TT>100 TeV</TT>.</LI>
0238 <LI>A set of new UI commands is added which allows defining models per region.
0239     In particular, UI commands defining PAI model, DNA models, MicroElec models
0240     for a given geometrical region (G4Region) on top of any EM physics
0241     configuration. It is also possible to define alternative reference physics
0242     configurations for a particular region on top of any other reference EM
0243     physics.</LI>

0254 <LI>Achieved consistent set of data - G4ENSDFSTATE-2.1, G4RadioactiveDecay-5.1,
0255     G4PhotonEvaporation-4.3, in terms of isomer excitation levels - and physics
0256     models which use these data - radioactive-decay and photon-evaporation,
0257     in terms of energy and lifetime of excited nuclides.</LI>
0258 <LI>Precompound/de-excitation code has been restructed in order to use the
0259     same data as radioactive-decay model and former, internal hard-coded data
0260     are not used any longer.
0261     The possibility to simulate correlated emissions of gammas has been
0262     introduced but not yet activated.</LI>
0263 <LI>Improved the evaporation spectrum of Bertini-like intra-nuclear cascade
0264     model (BERT).
0265     This reduces the overproduction of low-energy neutrons and protons.</LI>
0266 <LI>Extended the INCLXX intra-nuclear cascade model to include eta and omega
0267     meson production.</LI>
0268 <LI>Fritiof (FTF) string model is similar to the one in version 10.2.p02,
0269     except for the treatment of the excited nuclear remnant, in order to
0270     produce hadronic showers similar to those in version 10.1.</LI>

0285     the transition region between Bertini-like (BERT) and Fritiof/Precompound-de-excitation
0286     (FTFP) models: now it is between <TT>3</TT> and <TT>12 GeV</TT> (instead of
0287     <TT>4</TT> and <TT>5 GeV</TT>), for pions, kaons, proton and neutron (for hyperons
0288     it remains unchanged between <TT>2</TT> and <TT>6 GeV</TT>; for anti-baryons,
0289     FTF is used everywhere).</LI>

0294 <LI>Significant improvements in the Qt interface and graphics.</LI>
0295 <LI>A significant speed-up for OpenGL viewers (including Qt) on some platforms
0296     due to better use of the graphics pipeline. The associated command that
0297     controls this behaviour is
0298     <TT>/vs/ogl/flushAt [endOfEvent endOfRun eachPrimitive NthPrimitive NthEvent never]</TT>.
0299     The default is <TT>/vis/ogl/flushAt NthEvent 100</TT>.</LI>
0300 <LI>A new feature is the ability to <I>fly-through</I> saved views with
0301     <TT>/vis/viewer/interpolate</TT> (not yet available on Windows).
0302      Use the help command to see options (one may make movie sequences this
0303      way).</LI>
0304 <LI>A default icon toolbar for the Qt driver. The file <TT>icons.mac</TT> in
0305     some examples is no longer needed. <I>Viewer properties</I> (editable)
0306     and <I>pick informations</I> have been moved to this new icon toolbar.</LI>

0330 <UL>
0331 <LI>Based on tests performed on simplified calorimeters, hadronic showers are
0332     similar to those in version 10.1.
0333     Some differences - in particular wider hadronic showers and smoother
0334     behaviour as a function of the projectile energy, especially between
0335     <TT>4</TT> and <TT>12 GeV</TT> - are due to the change of transition region
0336     between  FTFP and BERT in the physics lists <TT>FTFP_BERT</TT> and
0337     <TT>FTFP_BERT_HP</TT> (now set to <TT>3-12 GeV</TT>).</LI>
0338 <LI>The energy response of hadronic showers in Iron and Copper is similar
0339     to the one in version 10.1, i.e. a few percent lower than in version 10.2;
0340     for  heavier absorbers (Tungsten and Lead), it is a few percent lower than
0341     both versions 10.1 and 10.2.</LI>

1149     <LI>Introducing G4PARTICLEHPDATA as default base name for data modules.</LI>
1150     <LI>As in the previous release, the mode "PHP_AS_HP" is the default

1153         the environment variable of "DO_NOT_SET_PHP_AS_HP" before compilation.
1154         Fixed problem of uninitialisation of cache in G4ParticleHPContAngularPar

1168     <LI>Reverted implementation to "stable" versions for both Fritiof (FTF)
1169         and Quark-Gluon-String (QGS) models.
1170         For FTF, the model is similar to the one in G4 10.2.p02, except for
1171         the treatment of the excited nuclear remnant, in order to produce
1172         hadronic showers similar to those in G4 10.1.</LI>
1173         For QGS, this means that the model is very similar to the one in
1174         G4 10.2, which in turn was very similar to the one in G4 10.1.
1175     <LI>In G4VPartonStringModel, instead of having the string creation loop
1176         (with max 20 attempts) and the string fragmentation loop (with max
1177         100 attempts) separated, there is now one single loop for string
1178         creation and fragmentation, with max 1000 attempts, and in the case
1179         of failure a just-warning exception is thrown.
1180         Also, increased the number of max attempts to fragment strings from 10

1455         <LI>Use G4_REFERENCE_PHYSCONSTR_FACTORY so that registry works in the case

1481         <LI>G4StepLimiterPhysics: added option which allows to apply the step limit
1482             to all particles (by default the step limit is applied to charged particles
1483             only).</LI>
1484         <LI>G4GenericBiasingPhysics: added methods to configure physics lists
1485             to activate parallel geometry functionality introduced in generic
1486             biasing.</LI>

1494         used in G4HadronHElasticPhysics.
1495         Use GS multiple scattering with the most precise "error-free"
1496         stepping instead of the default (Opt0), for the purpose of studying
1497         the impact of multiple scattering on hadronic showers.</LI>
1498     <LI>Moved code to be inline in G4RegisterPhysLists so that it gets
1499         compiled as part of the G4PhysListRegistry compilation unit.
1500         This ensures that all the physics lists declared to the registry are
1501         referenced by it such that the linker will include them if libraries
1502         are built statically.</LI>
1503     <LI>Added G4_REFERENCE_PHYSLIST_FACTORY[_NS] for pulling in lists
1504         from static libraries. Fixed issue where G4PhysListRegistry didn't
1505         properly exit if a requested extension didn't exist in its list.</LI>

1522       execution of UI commands by workers even without a <TT>/run/beamOn</TT>;
1523       C++ API is G4MTRunManager::RequestWorkersProcessCommandsStack().</LI>
1524   <LI>When workers are terminated they execute the UI commands issued

1557       Moved initialisation of G4VUPLSplitter thread-local data to be inline
1558       along with generic template type. Removed explicit initialisation of
1559       thread-local data from workspaces, as now happening inline in

1595     <LI>Fixed the GetColour() problem.</LI>
1596     <LI>MT mode: moved flush to end of visualization thread; this is so that

1606     <LI>G4VisCommandsSceneAdd: removed incorrect check on existing models in

1650               <TT>/vis/filtering/trajectories/create/encounteredVolumeFilter</TT>
1651         and their associated commands.
1652         This selects only by a single string, the physical volume name.
1653         If there are more than one physical volumes with that name then any
1654         trajectory encountering any one of those volumes will be selected.
1655         If the user sets more than one physical volume name (by using the set
1656         command more than once) the trajectory will be selected if it encounters
1657         either of those volumes and which of the attributes (e.g., colour)
1658         associated with those volumes is chosen is arbitrary.
1659         A more comprehensive facility would allow the user to select by
1660         encountered touchable, i.e., by the full path and copy numbers of the
1661         physical volume - but that is a job for the future if a use case arises.</LI>
