511 
512 Sept 15th, 98  John Apostolakis
513 -------------------------------
514 - In G4ParameterisedNavigation
515    i) Corrected ComputeSafety(...) which called ComputeVoxelSafety without
516      setting the fVoxelNode & fVoxelNodeNo to the ones at localpoint.
517      [ This produced incorrect safeties in some cases & resulted in an
518       assertion failure in testT08 because of an unexpected change of volume. ]
519   ii) ComputeStep: Fixed assertion check of blocked replica number.

529 
530 July 31st, 98  Peter Urban
531 -------------------------------
532 - Several fixes for BREPS.
533 
534 
535 July 29th, 98  John Apostolakis  (with Stefano Magni)
536 -------------------------------
537 - G4BREPSolidPCone.cc : Cylindrical sections were incorrectly placed.
538 - G4ConicalSurface.cc
539   G4CylindricalSurface.cc:
540     The Inside functions are modified to try to use the Geant-4 tolerance.
541      --> must be checked further
542        [ The method is used by Intersect of respective surfaces in a
543          complicated manner. ]
544 - G4FConicalSurface.cc
545    - Fix to Bounding Box, which was incorrectly centered/placed.
546    - Fix to Intersect, to insure that only intersection in Finite extent of
547       Surface are found.
548 
549 July 28th, 98  John Apostolakis
550 -------------------------------
551 - In the Navigator location, the blocked Volume was not cleared when the
552   navigator descended several levels in the tree. This would allows the same
553   in another part of the tree to be wrongly blocked.
554 - In G4ParameterisedNavigation, the identity of the blocked Physical Volume
555   was not checked! You would block replica number 3 of your parameterised
556   volume although you exited replica number 3 of another volume!
557 - The above problems combined to allow BlockingList to be called with
558   replicaNo = -1, which caused Linux/G++ & HP to dump core on program exit.
559   Modified Files:
560     G4Navigator.cc
561     G4ParameterisedNavigation.cc
562 - An assignment used to be an equality check by mistake.
563   (Probably it was ok because it is redundant)
564   Modified Files:
565     G4VoxelNavigation.cc
566 
567 June 26th, 98  John Apostolakis  geometry-00-06-05
568 -------------------------------
569 - 1)  Modified check in ComputeStep that pseudo-relocation is within safety:
570      i) no check is made is the move is within tolerance as it makes no sense
571          - on a boundary it would cause a volume change (where there was none.)
572     ii) the Navigator now stores the last safety it calculated (origin, value)
573          and uses it for the calculation of this check.
574         This eliminates problems with this check, that produced assertion
575    failure in many example codes.
576 - 2) NavigationHistory equality operator modified for efficiency (with P.Urban)
577 - 3) G4Box     Problem in DistanceToIn reporting intersection where there was
578                none has been given a more complete solution (V.Grichine)
579      G4Sphere  Exception problem fixed.  (V.Grichine)
580 
581 June 20th, 98  John Apostolakis  geometry-00-06-04
582 -------------------------------
583 - 1) I have added a check that any pseudo-relocation made between a
584      call to Locate (the true Relocation) and the next call to ComputeStep
585      (eg in a PostStepDoIt) is truly within safety.
586 - 2) The Navigator's ComputeStep method now always returns infinity, when it
587      does not limit the step
588 - 3) G4Tubs.cc: Fixed surface normal (in R) which was not a unit vector.
589 
590 June 18th, 98  John Apostolakis
591 -------------------------------
592 - In the Navigator:
593     1) Fix to allow lateral displacement (within safety) in PostStepDoIts
594        without messaging the Navigator.
595     2) A first implementation of LocateGlobalPointWithinVolume
596 - A fix in NormalNavigation's Compute Step, to allow volumes that are "touched"
597   to be tagged as entered.  (Ie, if the step is just long enough to arrive at
598   the surface of a volume, the navigator can still enter it quickly.)
599 
600 June 12th, 98   John Apostolakis (geometry-00-06-03)
601 -------------------------------
602 - Candidate fix to BREP PCone, constructing Conical Surfaces using different
603   starting point.
604 - Fix to ReplicaNavigation to temporarily patch "assertion" problem.
605 
606 June 10th, 98  John Apostolakis  (geometry-00-06-02)
607 -------------------------------
608 - Added a new CSG Solid (G4Hype), a Hyperboloid by rotation
609 - Bug fix to G4Box::DistanceToIn (which reported intersection where there
610                                   was none).
611 - Bug fix to G4FConicalSurface and G4ConicalSurface to fix G4BREPSolidPCone.
612   Correction to  to DistanceToOut of BREPSolid to ensure compatibility with
613   convexity assumptions of Navigator
614 
615 June  8th, 98  John Apostolakis  (geometry-00-06-01)
616 -------------------------------
617 - Created a tag for BREPS at the last point before merge with Peter's
618   Developments.
619   Modified
620     G4Navigator       and
621     G4NormalNavigation   G4ParameterisedNavigation
622     G4ReplicaNavigation  G4VoxelNavigation
623   to add ComputeSafety methods. These make a quick estimation of the
624   safety and can/should be called for the final point of a step only.
625 
626 June  3rd, 98  John Apostolakis
627 -------------------------------
628 - G4Navigator:
629   Added a new new method LocateGlobalPointWithinVolume that serves to notify
630   the Navigator that a track has moved to the new Global point 'position'.
631   This point must be known to be within the current volume, probably because it
632   is withing safety.
633 
634 May   11th, 98  John Apostolakis
635 -------------------------------
636 - G4PVPlacement:
637   - Implemented additional (4th) constructor that takes a pointer to a
638     logical mother volume and a G4Transform3D with the solid's rotation.
639   - Also added a data member to store whether a RotationMatrix was created.
640     This allows us to avoid a small memory leak in use of 2 constructors.
641 
642 May    8th, 98  John Apostolakis
643 -------------------------------
644 - History files created in magneticfield directory for this category.
645   It will be used exclusively for the maintenance of information in
646   this category. Only what impacts its interaction with the geometry
647   (G4PropagatorInField) will be mentioned here.
648 
649 - History file  has existed in solids/BREPS for slightly more detailed
650   changes in that sub-category.
651 
652 April 29th, 98  John Apostolakis  (geometry-00-05-05)
653 -------------------------------
654 - A significant logical error in G4VoxelNavigation::LocateNextVoxel was
655   corrected: the search for the next voxel could ignore voxels at lower levels
656 - Small changes for DEC in GNUmakefile in BREPS & STEP
657    * Removed -cfront option from GNUmakefile for DEC. -cfront
658       overrides ANSI standard rules in cxx-6.0.
659    * Cleaned up trivial warnings on DEC (Extraneous semicolons).

671 
672 April 23rd, 98  John Apostolakis  (geometry-00-05-03)
673 -------------------------------
674 - Bug fixes to BREP code for Assembly level of STEP files
675   (introduced in alpha05)
676 - Renamed file G4Point3d.hh to G4Point3d.h (because of problems
677   on Windows NT in name clash with G4Point3D.hh).
678 
679 April 22nd, 98  John Apostolakis  (geom-05-02)
680 -------------------------------
681 - Tagged.
682 
683 April 21st, 98  John Apostolakis  (geometry-00-05-01)
684 -------------------------------
685 - Added SetAllParameters methods to G4Torus and G4Para.
686 - All CSG solids now inherit from the new abstract class G4CSGSolid, instead
687   of directly from G4VSolid.
688 - "const G4double" arguments have been changed to "G4double" for CSG methods.
689 
690 April 21st, 98  John Allison
691 -------------------------------
692 - Slightly relaxed tolerance in G4Trap (for g3tog4).
693 - Corrected G4BREPSolidPolyhedra.cc for graphics_reps/G4Polyhedron.
694 - Added void G4Trd::SetAllParameters.
695 - Also relaxed check in G4Trd::CheckAndSetAllParameters (pdx1>=0, etc.)
696

703 - GNUmakefile : MAKESHLIB changed in G4MAKESHLIB
704 
705 March 13, 98   G.Cosmo (on behalf of S.Giani) - (geometry-00-04-05)
706 -------------------------------
707 - Added G4VPVParameterisation.cc including default implementations
708   of ComputeSolid() and ComputeMaterial() missing previously (J.Apostolakis).
709 - Included fixes for aCC compiler in BREPS and STEP (J.Sulkimo, G.Cosmo).
710 
711 March  9, 98  J. Apostolakis - (geometry-00-04-04)
712 -------------------------------
713 - Small fix to G4BREPSolid.cc which was causing problems on HP-UX.
714   (Deleted use of floating point modulo for integers, with Jari S.)
715 - G4Sphere:    further small corrections.
716 
717 March     5, 98    J. Apostolakis - (geometry-00-04-03)
718 -------------------------------
719 - Parameterised Volume can now VARY the TYPE of SOLID and/or Material
720   by copy number.  PVParameterisation classes can now compute these.
721   The Navigator has been modified to compute solid and material, and
722   to set them in the associated logical volume
723 - Now able to process an extra level of STEP files, using new code in
724   BREPs  (Jari Sulkimo).
725 - Further cleanup of code in BREP category  (Peter Urban).
726 - Small modification in solids/STEP/GNUmakefile for Win/NT port (S. Sadilov).
727 
728 March     4, 98    J. Apostolakis - (geometry-00-04-02)
729 -------------------------------
730 - G4Sphere: corrected tests of the phi angle and with tolerance checking
731   that compared squares of distances.
732 - The World volume can now be split into replicas. This not recommended, but
733   the Navigator is now able to handle it.
734 - Cleanup of code in BREP category (Peter Urban & Jari Sulkimo)
735 
736 February 16, 98    J. Apostolakis - (geometry-00-04-01)
737 -------------------------------
738 - Replicas and parameterised physical-volumes now store the copy number of
739   their current copy. (It is valid only for physical volume in the hot tree).
740   Navigation routines were modified to enable this.
741 
742 February  4, 98    J. Apostolakis - (geometry-00-03-02)
743 -------------------------------
744 - A few small changes were made to the Magnetic Field classes.
745   This included one that allows it to work without repeatedly
746   issuing an unneccessary warning.
747 - Small fixes to BREP and STEP parts help in fixing a problem
748   with True/false on some platforms.
749 
750 January 28, 98 S. Sadilov
751 -------------------------------
752 - Small modification in GNUmakefile for Win/NT port
753 
754 January  26, 98    J. Apostolakis - (geometry-00-03-01)
755 -------------------------------
756 - i)  New implementation of G4NavigationHistory using G4NavigationLevel.
757       This implementation allows for very fast copying of G4NavigationHistory,
758       which is required in order to copy G4TouchableHistory.
759 - ii) Correction in G4ReplicaNavigation.cc in DistanceToOutPhi, influencing
760       replicas divided in phi.
761 
762 December 19, 97 G. Cosmo - (alpha03)
763 -------------------------------
