   fail on Windows
 - Improvement to G4AutoLock in non-MT mode + bug fix (void try_lock() ->
   bool try_lock()) plus error handling within G4AutoLock if static mutex
   is attempted to be used at application cleanup (previously handled in
   G4Cache)
 - using atomics in G4Cache

 February 21, 2018 Jonathan Madsen (global-V10-04-07)
 - Overloaded G4AutoLock member functions in serial mode to not
   execute locking/unlocking
 - Fixed std::system_error in G4Cache where destructor tries
   to use a static G4Mutex that has already been deleted by cleanup
   which is a non-critical error related to a singleton memory leak
 - Returned some functionality in G4Threading to dummy types such
   as G4MUTEXLOCK and G4MUTEXUNLOCK do not actually lock
   and G4Thread is a dummy thread that executes upon construction
 
 February 19, 2018 Jonathan Madsen (global-V10-04-06)
 - Added G4TypeMutex<T> and G4TypeRecursiveMutex<T> function to threading
   for safely obtaining a static mutex that is unique to the template type T

   in G4MTBarrier. Modified G4CONDITION macros to fix this
 
 February 13, 2018 Jonathan Madsen (global-V10-04-04)
 - Simplified G4Threading by not ifdef'ing out G4Mutex
   It was determined the average time to lock and unlock a mutex in
   single-thread mode is ~5 nanoseconds in release mode. Therefore, it
   was determined the mutex locking is not a concern for performance in
   non-MT mode. This fixes issues with G4Mutex and G4AutoLock in
   global-V10-04-03
 - Extended G4TemplateAutoLock to take advantage of the features
   std::unique_lock offers
 - migrated G4Timer real (wall) time to use std::chrono::high_precision_clock
   from C++11
 
 February 12, 2018 Jonathan Madsen (global-V10-04-03)
 - G4Threading - replaced POSIX threading with C++11 threading
   - std::condition_variable
   - std::mutex + std::recursive_mutex
   - std::thread
   - many of the former macros are now dummy macros (e.g. G4MUTEXINIT,
     G4MUTEX_INITIALIZER, etc.)
   - G4GetPidId() -> uses std::this_thread::get_id()
   - G4GetNumberOfCores() -> uses std::thread::hardware_concurrency()
   - Updated pin affinity
   - Removed G4THREADSELF (not used, no C++11 platform-independent equivalent)
 - G4AutoLock is now a thin wrapper around std::unique_lock providing previous
   functionality + more features (e.g. try_lock, try_lock_until, etc.)
 - Added G4RecursiveAutoLock for recursive mutexes
 - Expanded DEFINED_PPC and DEFINED_INTEL in G4FPEDetection (warning in GCC 7+)
 - G4MTBarrier: removed WIN32 specifics, updated G4CONDITIONWAIT to use
   G4AutoLock (std::unique_lock) instead of G4Mutex, removed G4MUTEX_INITIALIZER
   from constructor

   o G4strstreambuf.icc: correct patch for overflow() to be specific only to
     gcc-3.0.X versions of the compiler. Behavior now fixed in gcc-3.1.
   o G4llocator.hh: use pointer to member data to compute offset in FreeSingle().
     for gcc-3.1 compiler. gcc-3.1 complains and does not correctly handle offsets
     computed from non-POD types. Pointers to member data should be used instead.
     This advanced C++ feature seems not to work on earlier versions of the same
     compiler or on other system configurations.

   o defs.h: defined G4RWTHROW(a) to abort() in case G4NO_STD_EXCEPTIONS
     is set.
   o tpsrtvec.icc, tvordvec.icc: corrected implementation of last() in case
     of call to G4RWTHROW(a).

   functions.
 
 May 25, 2000 J.Allison (global-V01-01-03)
 - Added new G4UnitDefinition("kg/m3",...) to G4UnitsTable.cc.
 
 March 23, 2000 G.Cosmo (global-V01-01-02)
 - Added class G4PhysicsLnVector[.hh.cc] implementing a physics vector
   with natural logarithmic scale for energy/momentum bins. (M.G.Pia)
 
 March 21, 2000 G.Cosmo (global-V01-01-01)
 - STLInterface: forced initialization of vectors' members also for
   ordered/sorted collections. Even when using the access operator
   vector::operator[] as left-hand operand, it requires the vector
   to be not empty. Removed usage of vector::reserve(capacity).
 
 March 11, 2000 G.Cosmo (global-V01-01-00)
 - STLInterface: implemented correct behavior for vectors' default constructors,
   as expected by the RW interface.
   o for pointer/value ordered/sorted collections, an EMPTY STL vector is
     created and the vector capacity is set to G4RWDEFAULT_CAPACITY
     using vector::reserve(capacity). No element initialisation is done.
   o for pointer/value simple collections, a default constructor creating
     an EMPTY STL vector is implemented; the constructor taking the capacity
     as argument, creates an STL vector of the given capacity and explicitly
     initialises its elements. NB: pointers are initialised to zero.
 - Added "g4std/complex" wrapper file (V.Grichine)
 
 February 16, 2000 H.Kurashige (global-V01-00-04)

   new constructor.
 
 February 08, 2000 G.Cosmo (global-V01-00-03)
 - STLInterface/cstring.icc: fixed yet another bug in G4String::toUpper()
   and G4String::toLower(). Loop over the string characters was causing
   bounds overflow.
 - tpvector[.h.icc]: added resize(size_t) method which was missing!
 
 January 31, 2000 G.Cosmo (global-V01-00-02)
 - STLInterface: several fixes.
   o Fixed bug in G4String::toUpper().
     (bug was introduced inadvertently on 20-Oct-1999).
   o Added checks for bound-overflows in G4RWTPtrSortedVector::find().
   o Fixed bound-check for operators () and [] in most collections:
     () access operators DO NOT perform bound-checking (except if G4DEBUG set);
     [] access operators DO perform bound-checking.
   o tpvector[.h.icc]: changed 'unsigned int' to 'size_t' in constructors.
     Added 'rwsize' and bound-checking for operator[].
   o tvvector.icc: added call to std_vector() in default constructor.
   o tpordvec.icc: added std_pvector:: scope for calls to [] operator,
     where missing.
   o tvordvec.icc: added std_vector:: scope for calls to [] operator,
     where missing.

   when treating static objects via -qtwolink option.
 
 September 10, 98 G.Cosmo
 - Added #undef min/max/sqr/abs to prevent possible macros definition
   (temporary solution to allow backward compatibility with CLHEP-1.2).

   positional qualifiers (different between UNIX and VC).
 - In GNUmakefile.common and GNUmakefile used $OUT_LIB introduced in
   GNUmakefile.architecture as positional qualifier for creating
   simple-libraries and composite-library.
 - In GNUmakefile.common used $RWINCGPP introduced in GNUmakefiles.architecture
   as right path on RW includes: different compilers (g++ for dependencies
   and VC compiler for buiding) use different RW.

 - Introduced G4EXEC_BUILD and G4TEMPEXEC_REPOSITORY flags for C_FRONT based
   compilers. These flags allow to distinguish between the template repository
   used for building G4 libraries and the one used to build executables.
   When building an executable and G4EXEC_BUILD is set, the original template
   repository $G4TEMPLATE_REPOSITORY used to build libraries becomes read-only
   $G4TEMPEXEC_REPOSITORY is used instead.

 - Added "-DNO_NATIVE_GENERIC_H -I$(RWINC)/rw" to CPPFLAGS for HP-aCC
   in GNUmakefile.architecture.
 - Removed duplicated definition of G4Allocator<G4DecayProducts> from
   g4templates.hh.

 - Modified GNUmakefile.architecture, adding -DRW_NO_STL option to
   CPPFLAGS and removing it from CXXFLAGS.

 - Removed files Hep3Vector.hh, HepRotation.hh and G4SystemofUnits.cc
 - Updated several classes/files to use "#include <CLHEP/...>" instead
   of "#include "CLHEP/..."".
 
 January 15, 98 G. Cosmo
 - Updated GNUmakefile.architecture to support aCC A.01.06 compiler.
   Standardized definitions of variables related to CLHEP and RW.
 - Removed patches/template-definitions for HP-aCC from g4templates.hh
   and G4Allocator.cc.
