   ## 2023-12-11 Vladimir Ivanchenko (tracking-V11-01-03)
  - G4TrackingMessenger - fixed Coverity report on memory leak at exit by
    move static thread local variable to be class member, because G4TrackingManager
    and its messenger are thread local by nature.
  
  ## 2023-09-04 Gabriele Cosmo (tracking-V11-01-02)
  - Removed references to G4TouchableHistoryHandle, which is now deprecated.
  
  ## 2023-02-08 Ben Morgan (tracking V11-01-01)

  ## 2022-11-02 Vladimir Ivanchenko (tracking-V11-00-07)

  ## 2022-06-21 Ben Morgan (tracking-V11-00-06)
  - Merge `G4SteppingManager` implementation files
  
  ## 2022-06-05 Vladimir Ivanchenko (tracking-V11-00-05)
  - `G4SteppingManager2`: removed check on cuts and removed dependence of
    tracking from EM physics; ApplyCut method in this place was never used and cannot be
    use consistently, because energy deposition strongly depend on particle type, physics
    models, and user requirement. It is very difficult implementing ApplyCuts here for
    all use cases, it is why the real implementation is done within EM physics classes  
  
  ## 2022-05-10 Jonas Hahnfeld (tracking-V11-00-04)
  - `G4SteppingManager`:
    * Use new virtual method `GetCreatorProcess()` when processing secondaries

    call to `geant4_add_category` to define library build from source modules.
  - Make DLL export symbol a CMake module-level compile definition to aid
    future modularization

    to a pointer to a G4NoProcess instance, and used it in the method
    InvokeAtRestDoItProcs() to flag a stable ion at rest.

    information that Radioactive Decay is the process defining the 
    last step of a stable ion at rest.

   when adjoint particles reenter the adjoint source.
   Reput the Nan test removed in  tracking-V09-02-05 but now as (x<0 && x>=0).
   This Nan test is still needed in very rare case where the weight of a
   particle goes to Nan. As such the code is stable! The reason for the Nan
   weight is till under investigation.
 
 18 Nov 2009 G.Cosmo (tracking-V09-02-05)
 - Fixes to "Adjoint" classes to allow build of DLLs on Windows: renamed all
   methods and data holding "External" as keyword to "Ext".

 Nov 27, 01 J.Apostolakis (tracking-V03-02-04)
   Correction to the use the touchable Handle for secondary tracks,
        when it is available.
   Now the direction is used in locating a particle (primary or
    secondary) in SetInitialStep. This is in order to assist in
    starting particles that are on/near-to boundaries in the correct
    volume.
 
 Nov 27, 01 J.Apostolakis (tracking-V03-02-03)
   Initial step now uses the touchable Handle of the secondary track,
 when it exists and is valid.
 
   To be useful this tag depends the tag track-V03-02-07,
    which enables touchable handles in secondaries.

 July  1, 98 K. Amako
 - Tag for tracking-00-07-02. This includes the following features.
 - Because J. Apostolakis changed  the way to calcluate safety in the
   transportation AlongStepGPIL, the way to set safety of the PostStepPoint
   was modified. Except the first step, the safety of the PreStepPoint
   is also valid in this scheme.
 - The coherent energy cut scheme is implemented. This means that
   the energy of a secondary particle is checked against the energy
   cut value and also safety. Also the 'GoodForTracking' flag is
   checked. A warning message will be issued if a secondary particle
   has illegal status (i.e. below energy cut and 'GoodForTracking' is off).
   Because processes don't set properly the 'GoodForTracking' yet, this
   waning message is temporary suppressed in the current tag.
 
 June 22, 98 J.Apostolakis
 
 - Added fix to implementation of new scheme of 'Safety'.
 
 June 16, 98 P.Urban                      -- recorded by J. Apostolakis
 
 - Added changes for tracking optimisation.  (Merged from branch)

 - Tagged tracking-00-06-02.
   Includes changes by P.Mora de Freitas and M.Asai which were missing in
   the previous tag.
 
 June 6, 98  M.Asai
 - GNUmakefile is modified to correspond to the new "digits+hits" structure.
 
 Jun  3, 98  P.Mora de Freitas/M.Verderi
 - Implement new scheme of 'Safety' where it becomes the 'range within
   the assumptions of all processes are valid'. In the G4SteppingManager
   GetPIL loop the safety becomes "competitive" like the step limitation.
   This means that at the begining of every step the G4SteppingManager
   will initialize it to DBLMAX and that processes can only decrease it.
 
 May 22, 98  T.Sasaki
 - Verbose codes are separated from SteppingManager. 2 files are aded.
 April 21, 98 G.Cosmo (tracking-00-05-01)

      1.Momentum direction at the start point (vertex position) of the track
      2.Kinetic energy at the start point (vertex position) of the track
      3.Pointer to the process which created the current track
   Due to this, the following files have modififed and committed.
      1.NewDesignDoc.txt
      2.G4Track.hh, G4Track.cc
      3.G4SteppingManager.cc
 
 January  29, 97 K. Amako
   Following changes have been done and committed/tagged to cvs.
   Tag# is tracking-00-03-01.
     - G4SteppingManager.cc: Corrected so that the verbose
       'AlongStepDoItAllDone' is invokded after the 'safety' update.
     - G4SteppingManager.cc: Added a comment in the 'G4Step Information'
       table of the verbose output of 'AlongStepDoIt (process by process)'
       so that 'safety' value in it is not updated yet.
     - G4TrackingMessanger.cc: Help for verbose has been updated.
 
 
 December 19, 97 G. Cosmo - (alpha03)
