 93 
 94 ## 2022-11-28 Gabriele Cosmo           (field-V11-00-05)
 95 - Fixed restore of stream precision in G4FieldManager::ReportBadEpsilonValue().
 96 
 97 ## 2022-11-14 John Apostolakis         (field-V11-00-04)
 98 - Revised G4FieldManager to ensure that epsilon_min / _max parameters
 99   are less than a 'maximum accepted' accuracy (now=0.02) to ensure robust
100   behaviour of the integration. Improved their Set methods, adding 
101    - warnings if min > max, with corrective behaviour,  and
102    - a fatal exception in case of values outside the accepted range.
103    
104   To cope with needs of legacy applications or existing needs for performance,
105   the value of the 'ceiling' maximum accepted accuracy can be modified using
106   the new static method 
107        G4FieldManager::SetMaxAcceptedEpsilon( maxAccept, softFail);
108   but must remain under or equal to a final ceiling currently of
109        fMaxFinalEpsilon=0.03

117   integration method, created as part of GSoC 2022.
118 
119 ## 2022-10-05 Gabriele Cosmo (field-V11-00-01)
120 - Fixed compilation warnings on Intel/icx compiler for variables set
121   but not used.
122

130 March 30, 2021 B.Morgan                           - field-V10-07-00
131 -----------------------
132 - Migrate sources.cmake to modular build API
133 
134 November 26, 2020 J.Apostolakis                   - field-V10-06-09
135 -------------------------------
136 - Fix to enable G4TDormandPrince45 to be used with G4InterpolationDriver.
137 
138   This fix was needed because G4Interpolation driver creates additional
139   copies of the stepper class.  Due to this it must obtain the equation
140   with the type of the templated stepper.
141 
142   For a stepper to be used with 'G4InterpolationDriver', it must
143   implement the method
144      Equation_type  GetSpecificEquation()
145   Templated steppers must ensure that the return type 'Equation_type'
146   is the specific equation type of the template.
147 
148   This method was added to G4DormandPrince745 and G4TDormandPrince745.
149 
150 October 12, 2020 J.Apostolakis                    - field-V10-06-08
151 ------------------------------
152 - Fixes & refinements - mostly in templated classes, tests.
153   Compilation fixes, e.g. missing include <cassert>.
154   Refinements, e.g. int -> unsigned int in templates
155 
156 October 9, 2020 J.Apostolakis                     - field-V10-06-07
157 -----------------------------
158 - Configure G4ChordFinder to use templated G4TDormandPrince45 as the
159   default stepper for magnetic fields (when one is not chosen
160   explicitly by the application.)
161 
162 October 9, 2020 J.Apostolakis & J. Xie           - field-V10-06-06
163 --------------------------------------
164 - Adapted classes that avoid virtual calls for field, equation, stepper
165   created by Josh Xie (Google Summer of Code 2014), supervised by
166   S. Wenzel & J.A.
167 
168   The revised design and implementations include:
169    * equation of motion templated on the field type;
170    * steppers templated on the type of equation and the number of integration
171      variables.
172   In addition the key methods are marked as 'inline' to enable compilers, where
173   they judge possible, to embed them and avoid any function calls.
174 
175   These classes can be combined also with the templated drivers
176   (G4IntegrationStepper, G4FSALIntegrationStepper and/or G4InterpolationDriver
177   to avoid virtual calls in all the levels up to the chord finder's call to
178   the integration driver. ]
179 
180   The types of stepper currently available are
181   i) the originally developed intermediate order stepper:
182 
183    - Name (templated) -  original  --   Order/    - Comments
184                                            / Embdedded
185    ==============================================================================
186    G4TClassicalRK4:     G4ClassicalRK4   4th / no   robust, old default
187    G4TCashKarpRKF45:    G4CashKarpRKF45  5th / yes  first embedded RK in G4
188 
189   ii) the original low order steppers (for specialised uses)
190    G4TSimpleHeum:       G4SimpleHeum     3rd / no  lower order alternative
191    G4TSimpleRunge:      G4SimpleRunge    2nd / no  very low order
192    G4TExplicitEuler:    G4ExplicitEuler  1st / no  lowest order - for checks only
193 
194   and
195   iii) some newly adapted stepper(s) /  ( J.A. Oct 2020 )
196    G4TDormandPrince45  G4DormandPrince745 5th/ yes  default / preferred
197    ==============================================================================
198 
199   Note: Additional lower-order steppers are not yet available.
200         'Vector' steppers (using blaze) are not supported.
201 
202   Experimental versions of fields with inline methods:
203      G4TUniformMagField,  G4TQuadrupoleMagField
204   are included to show how the field evaluation GetFieldValue can also be inlined.
205 
206   Note 2:
207   Steppers which are not embedded obtain their error estimates by
208   breaking the step into two halves, then comparing with the whole step.
209   As a result many more field / derivative evaluations are needed than
210   embedded steppers of the same order, but the reliability of their error
211   estimation has different properties; so it may be more robust in some cases. )
212 
213 June 15, 2020 G.Cosmo                            - field-V10-06-05

218 ----------------------------
219 - New class G4DriverReporter to print progress of drivers.
220    Used for debugging differences between Old & fixed MagIntDriver
221 - Revisions in testing CMake config file and stepper/driver test
222    for magnetic field.
223 
224 March 13, 2020 J.Apostolakis                     - field-V10-06-03
225 ----------------------------
226 - G4VIntegrationDriver & dependent driver classes:
227     Added new virtual StreamInfo() method,
228        & used it to implement operator << for G4VIntegrationDriver
229     Made (virtual) DoesReIntegrate() const.
230 - G4MagInt_Driver: Fixed max iterations & clarified that its
231      ComputeNewStepSize does NOT (yet) respect maximum reduction factor (0.1).
232   ( Done to enable comparisons with new G4IntegrationDriver<> implementation.)
233 - G4OldMagIntDriver maintains all old behaviour of G4MagInt_Driver.
234

242 - Turn off verbosity flags by default in G4IntegratorDriver,
243   G4InterpolationDriver and G4MagIntegratorDriver.
244

247 - Cleanup CMake build, removing obsolete granular library options and
248   explicit include_directories.
249 
250 November 14, 2019 J.Apostolakis                  - field-V10-05-17

326 ----------------------
327 - Corrected 'RegularStepperName' in G4ChordFinder to refer to the actual
328   default stepper G4DormandPrince745 rather than G4NystromRK4...
329 
330 November 9, 2018 J.Apostolakis                   - field-V10-04-17
331 ------------------------------
332 - Small fixes for warnings in compilation.
333 - Revisions of descriptions of recent tags (for clarification.)
334 
335 September 26, 2018 D.Sorokin                   - field-V10-04-15, -16
336 ----------------------------
337 - Implemented G4InterpolationDriver. This driver uses a Runge-Kutta
338   stepper with interpolation property to integrate EoM with error control.
339   The field evaluations used to calculate the enpoint of an 'advance' can
340   be reused to obtain one or multiple internal points on the curve (x,p).
341   So in steps in which an intersection is found, the number of field
342   evaluations are expected to be reduced substantially.
343 
344 September 13, 2018 D.Sorokin                   - field-V10-04-13, -14
345 ----------------------------
346 - G4NystromRK4 creates G4CachedMagneticField if it was not provided.
347 - Removed G4MagIntegratorStepper::ComputeRightHandSide() method
348   (all calls now use non-virtual RightHandSide() method instead).
349 - Reversed declaration of final for the class G4UniformMagField.
350   Returned to previous status: only GetFieldValue method is final.
351   ( This avoid need to change examples/tests and potentially migrate
352     users' code. )

355 ----------------------------
356 - Created new experimental driver G4BFieldIntegrationDriver for pure
357   magnetic fields.  In QuickAdvance it uses helix stepper when the
358   estimated 'helix' rotation angle is larger than pi/3.
359 - G4NystromRK4 uses G4CachedMagneticField for caching values.
360   NOTE: It now the user's responsibility to create G4CachedMagneticField.
361   ( The alternative is to create G4CachedMagneticField inside G4NystromRK4.
362     But this would have several disadvantages:
363     * It would change the field in the user's equation of motion;
364     * G4NystromRK4 is not able to check whether the user calls the method
365       that changes the equation using SetEquationOfMotion  method. )

387 ---------------------
388 - Leave override final only for clone() method in G4UniformMagField,

392 ---------------------
393 - Use G4Exception warnings instead of streaming to cerr.

397 Apr 30, 2018 J. Apostolakis             - field-V10-04-04
398 ---------------------------
399 - G4VIntegrationDriver and derived classes
400 
401   Added new virtual method in G4VIntegrationDriver :
402       void RenewStepperAndAdjust(G4MagIntegratorStepper *pItsStepper)
403   which used to exist in G4MagInt_Driver.
404   ( Its absence caused a problem in some existing user code since 10.4. )
405 
406   This method must be defined in those derived driver classes which accept
407   a Runge Kutta stepper ( i.e. some or any type of G4MagIntegratorStepper )
408 
409 - G4IntegrationDriver, G4FSALIntegrationDriver
410   Defined default implementation (which throws a Fatal G4Exception), and
411   implementations in the templated classes G4IntegrationDriver and
412   G4FSALIntegrationDriver which check the type (via dynamic cast) and
413   change the stepper if it is appropriate.

421 -----------------------                 - field-V10-04-02 (comp. fix)
422 - Introduced Bulirsch-Stoer method of integration, an alternative
423   to Runge-Kutta based on the mid-point method.
424   Separate driver derived G4VIntegrationDriver and implemented
425   using specialisation of G4IntegrationDriver template class.
426   Note: this method does not have a RK 'Stepper' !
427 
428 Jan 31, 2018 J. Apostolakis
429 ---------------------------
430 - G4MagneticField no longer inherits from G4ElectroMagneticField
431   This was incorrect, and allowed a user to provide a full EM
432   field, but obtain the force only from the B-field when using
433   the equation created in the G4ChordFinder constructor.
434    => potential interface change.
435 
436   Result: It is no longer possible to use the equation of motion for a
437      pure magnetic field for the case of a mixed electromagnetic field.
438      This change is desired, and is a *protection* as that inadvertent
439      use led to incorrect results.
440   Instead the full chain of classes for equation of full EM field,
441      steppers and driver must be used for the case of the 'full' EM field.

461 
462 - Minor fix to initialise scalar data member in new steppers
463   G4RK547FEq1, G4RK547FEq2 and G4RK547FEq3.

469 - Suppressed extra verbosity in G4ChordFinder.
470 - Fix in G4FSALDormandPrince745 for unitialised variables.
471   Initialise ak8[], ak9[] in constructor. This avoids repeated
472   memory allocation, without deletion - i.e. a memory leak.
473 - Initialise fLastStepLength and/or fAuxStepper data members in
474   in constructors of G4DormandPrince745 and G4FSALDormandPrince745.
475   Coverity issues: 67394 (G4FSALDormandPrince745)

479 ---------------------------             - field-V10-03-26
480 - G4ChordFinder: changes in default stepper & driver in 2nd constructor.
481   in which only a magnetic field is provided (used widely) :
482 
483   * Reinstated G4DormandPrince745 (5th order) as default in G4ChordFinder.
484    (corrected -23, which missed to initialise driver.)
485 
486   * New templated driver G4IntegrationDriver is chosen for the
487     the simple constuctors of G4ChordFinder and G4FieldManager
488     which only require a (pure) magnetic field. ( Details below.)
489 
490   Additional information and details:
491   * New optional parameter to constructor of G4ChordFinder which
492     allow to create an FSAL stepper and corresponding driver instead.
493     This aims to reuse some derivatives, thus reducing computations
494     of derivatives and thus field evaluations. )
495 
496   * The templated 'driver' classes, available and now chosen in
497     G4ChordFinder's 2nd constructor, are used per type of stepper
498     class:
499      - G4IntegrationDriver      for non-FSAL     steppers
500      - G4FSALIntegrationDriver  for FSAL-capable steppers
501     These make non-virtual calls to the stepper, as they know its type.
502 
503 - First fix in G4FSALDormandPrince745 for memory leak, missing
504   delete[] fInitialDyDx in destructor. Coverity issue: 96383.
505 
506 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
507 Multiple tags (below) were to better test stepper/driver combinations:

520 Nov  2, 2017 D. Sorokin                 - field-V10-03-21
521 ---------------------------------------
522 - Added new steppers G4RK547FEq{1,2,3} which implement 7 stage embedded
523   Runge-Kutta 4,5 pairs with:
524      - FSAL property (return derivative at endpoint for use in next step),
525      - stable equilibrium states ( improved handling of difficulties in
526          integration: better stability in choosing step size. )
527   Each one can be used with all existing Runge-Kutta drivers:
528      - G4FSALIntegrationDriver, using its FSAL property;
529      - G4IntegrationDriver    without its FSAL property.
530      - the original G4MagInt_Driver, also ignoring FSAL.
531 
532 - Reinstated G4DormandPrince745  ( known widely as DOPRI5 ) as
533   the default RK method in G4ChordFinder for pure magnetic fields.

545 Oct 20, 2017 D. Sorokin                 - field-V10-03-18
546 ---------------------------------------
547 Introduced base class for any driver algorithm (G4VIntegrationDriver)
548 New concrete classes added:
549 - G4IntegrationDriver: implementation of templated driver algorithm
550   for non-fsal explicit Runge-Kutta steppers
551 - G4FSALIntegrationDriver: implementation of driver algorithm for
552   FSAL explicit Runge-Kutta steppers.
553 Existing class G4MagInt_Drv remains, deriving from base class.
554

593   Fixes issue reported by ALICE ( problem report #1996 ).
594   Thanks to Ruben Shahoyan for identifying and reporting the issue!
595 - Temporarly made G4NystromRK4 the default Stepper in G4ChordFinder's 2nd
596   constructor (to ensure adequate testing).

605 Jul 03, 2017 J.Apostolakis             - field-V10-03-08
606 --------------------------
607 - G4FSALBogackiShampline45: initialise 'bi[][]' const coefficients only 1 time
608   in method PrepareConstants() called by constructor.
609     ( Similar to G4BogackiShampine => seek consolidation )
610   Small fix: initialise fAuxStepper to nullptr, if not primary.
611     ( Part of Coverity issue 67394 )
612 - G4DormandPrinceRK56: fix for significant memory leak of ak10_low buffer
613   space in SetupInterpolate_low(), apparently not seen by Coverity
614   because it was initialised in each use, not in constructor!
615   Improved initialisation of ak10, 11, 12 (moved to constructor)
616   and fixed small memory leak (added deletion in destructor).
617 - G4MagIntegratorStepper: initialise fNoRHSCalls & fIntegrationOrder in c-tor.
618   ( fIntegrationOrder is not yet used widely - future migration )
619   Coverity issue 67392.
620 - G4VFSALIntegrationStepper: initialise counter in c-tor. Coverity issue 67396.
621 - G4BogackiShampine23: initialised fIsFSAL, fIntegrationOrder in c-tor.
622   Suppressed obsolete virtual method isFSAL,
623   Deleted duplicate virtual method 'isFSAL()'. Non-virtual method IsFSAL()
624   now exists in base class G4MagIntegratorStepper.
625   Made copy constructor and equal operator private and not unimplemented.
626   Added explanatory comments in source file; can make this method FSAL easily
627   (it calculates derivative @ endpoint. )
628 - Several steppers ( G4DoLoMcPriRK34, G4FSALBogackiShampine45,
629   G4DormandPrince745, G4BogackiShampine45 ): initialise fLastStepLength and/or
630   fAuxStepper data members in constructor.

642 --------------------------
643 - G4FieldManager::SetDetectorField
644   Fixed default of 'fail mode' parameter in
645      to 0 (silent) - not 1 which was used for debugging.
646   In case of existing G4ChordFinder, use 'max' (1, failMode) not min.

648 
649 May 11, 2017 J.Apostolakis             - field-V10-03-02
650 --------------------------
651 - Reintroduced changes of field-V10-01-05, 06 and 07  to address
652   issue recalled by ATLAS.
653 - New fixes/refinements (since field-V10-01-07)
654   o Extra check for missing equation. (Fix)
655   o Renamed G4FieldManager::SetFieldChangesEnergy() method to
656     InitialiseFieldChangesEnergy() to clarify its utility.
657 - Original functionality change (copied from field-V10-01-05, & -07) :
658   o G4FieldManager.cc : Revised behaviour of SetDetector - it now
659     passes the Field to the Equation, as is the natural user expectation
660     The previous behaviour is possible, using extra argument 'failMode' flag.
661             Values: 0           = silent ;
662                     1 (default) = warning;
663                     2 or other  = fatal exception.
664 
665     This change is to ensure that user expectation is met:
666     if the field is changed for an existing, working stepper it must
667     be propagated to the equation of motion.
668     Note: this causes potential conflict between the type of the equation
669           and the field, which will need to be solved in the future.
670     Old behaviour (just set our own pointer) is still available in new method:
671     ProposeDetectorField(G4Field *detectorField)
672     Note: Error reporting behaviour of SetDetector is 'soft'. It does not
673           complain by default if ChordFinder is not (yet) set.
674           ( The default values of failMode = 0 i.e. quiet. )
675     If a chord-finder exists, it will still warn for other errors.
676     To obtain have noisy extra checks call SetDetectorField with failMode > 0
677     or by using the new method for an existing field:
678     ChangeDetectorField(G4Field *detectorField)
679   OLD: Co-works and requires new tag in geometry/navigation: geomnav-V10-01-24.

717 - Fix in multiple steppers for the size of two C-arrays which hold
718   intermediate values;  they must be at least 8 and at least
719   'fNumberOfStateVariables' long.
720   Changed: G4CashKarp,
721            G4BogackiShampine 23 & 34

726 - Deleted trial class G4NewChordFinder.
727 
728 June 1, 2016 J.Apostolakis              - field-V10-02-16
729 --------------------------
730 - Deleted test code (RkTestRun) due to cmake issues
731 
732 June 1, 2016 J.Apostolakis              - field-V10-02-15 (also -14)
733 --------------------------
734 - Made G4ClassicalRK4 the default stepper again in G4ChordFinder
735 - Fixes in test code (RkTestRun) for new names of classes.
736 
737 May 31, 2016 J.Apostolakis              - field-V10-02-13 (also -12)
738 --------------------------
739 - New class G4NewChordFinder, that uses old G4MagIntegratorDriver or
740     the newer G4FSALIntegratorDriver -- first try, for testing FSAL.
741   Created new test testNewChordFinder.cc to checks this.
742 
743 - Renamed new Stepper classes to use 'G4' prefix, including
744     DormandPrince{745,RK56,RK67} TsitourasRK45 and DoLoMcPriRK34
745 
746 - Renamed FSAL base classes to use 'G4' prefix & 'Integrat-ion'
747      FSALMagIntegratorStepper to G4VFSALIntegrationStepper
748      FSALIntegratorDriver     to  G4FSALIntegrationDriver
749   and the experimental FSAL versions of steppers,
750      FBogackiShampine45.hh  to  G4FSALBogackiShampine45.hh
751      FDormandPrince745.hh   to  G4FSALDormandPrince745.hh
752 ( Note: FSAL steppers remain 'behind' the improved non-FSAL versions.)
753 
754 - Made DormandPrince745 (DP45) the default stepper (in G4ChordFinder).
755 
756 May 26, 2016 J.Apostolakis & Som. Banerjee   - field-V10-02-11
757 ------------------------------------------
758 - First version of FSAL classes (as additional classes)
759     FSAL Integrator Driver  : New *concrete*, stand-alone driver
760     FSAL Integrator Stepper : New base class (separate from G4MagIntegratorStepper)
761     FBogackiShampine45:  FSAL-version of BogackiShampine45 stepper
762     FDormandPrince745:   FSAL-version of FDormandPrince745 stepper
763   Developed by Somnath Banerjee in GSoC 2015
764 
765 Context:
766 * FSAL Stepper's key 'Stepper()' method for Stepping has additional
767     argument to return the derivative at the end of a step.
768     If the step was successful, this estimate has the same order of
769     accuracy as the stepper (i.e. 5th order for a 5th order stepper.)
770 
771 - FSAL Driver method uses the revised Stepper interface, using
772     the final (endpoint) derivative for successful steps
773     as the start derivative for the next step, in case of
774     continuing of integration.
775 
776 - New test (RkTestRun.cc) covering FSAL methods, integration
777    Developed by Somnath Banerjee in GSoC 2015
778 
779 May 26, 2016 J.Apostolakis                   - field-V10-02-10
780 --------------------------
781 Preparation for addition of FSAL steppers (& driver)
782 - G4MagIntegratorStepper: Added counter for calls to equation RHS,
783     with Get/Reset methods.
784 - Cosmetic fixes in sources.cmake (tabs to spaces)
785

789   * DoLoMcPriRK34,      6-stage 3/4 RK (interpolation)
790   * DormandPrinceRK56,  9-stage 5/6 RK (interpolation, FSAL-able) "6(5)"
791   * DormandPrinceRK78, 13-stage 7/8 RK (interpolation)        "8(7) 13M"
792   created by Somnath Banerjee as part of GSoC 2015.
793 
794 May 25, 2016 J.Apostolakis             - field-V10-02-08
795 --------------------------
796 - Revised testPropagateMagField, to reduce error severity for over-long
797     steps.  An error message is still written if move > (1.+1.0e-9) * step,
798     but test does not stop.
799 
800 - G4HelixMixedStepper: Fixes & added new (5th order) stepper choices.
801     Included (G4)Bogacki-Shampine 23/45 ,  DormandPrince745,
802     and newest TsitourasRK45.
803

812 
813 May 20, 2016 J.Apostolakis             - field-V10-02-04
814 -------------------------
815 - Added steppers created by Somnath Banerjee as part of GSoC 2015,
816     G4BogackiShampine23 (BS23 below), G4BogackiShampine45 (BS45) and
817     DormandPrince745 (DP45).
818   These implement third order (BS23) and fifth order (BS45, DP45)
819     embedded RK tableaus.
820 - DP45 includes interpolation method, to evaluate the interpolant
821     ('y') at intermediate points of a successful step.
822   BS45's interpolation method exists, but is not validated (fails).

894   Thanks to Tatsuya Kikawa (Osaka Univ.)
895 
896 Jun 10, 2015 J.Apostolakis             - field-V10-01-07
897 --------------------------
898 - G4FieldManager.cc : Made behaviour of SetDetector 'softer'.  No
899    longer complains by default if ChordFinder is not (yet) set.
900     ( The default values of failMode = 0 i.e. quiet. )
901    If a chord-finder exists, it will still warn for other errors.
902 
903    It is still possible to have louder/extra checks done calling
904      SetDetectorField with failMode > 0
905    or by using a new method, which expects an existing field:
906      ChangeDetectorField(G4Field *detectorField)
907 
908 Jun  8, 2015 J.Apostolakis             - field-V10-01-05, (-06 fixed)
909 --------------------------
910 - G4FieldManager.cc : Revised behaviour of SetDetector - it now
911    passes the Field to the Equation, as is the natural user expectation
912    The previous behaviour is possible, using extra argument 'failMode'
913       flag. Values: 0           = silent ;
914                     1 (default) = warning;
915                     2 or other  = fatal exception.
916    Or can use alternative (new) suggestion method ProposeDetectorField();
917 
918    This change is to ensure that user expectation is met:
919       if the field is changed for an existing, working stepper it must
920       be propagated to the equation of motion.
921    Note: this causes potential conflict between the type of the equation
922          and the field, which will need to be solved in the future.
923 
924    Old behaviour (just set our own pointer) is still available in new method:
925      ProposeDetectorField(G4Field *detectorField)
926 
927    Co-works and requires new tag in geometry/navigation: geomnav-V10-01-24.

951 May 21, 2014 J.Apostolakis             - field-V10-00-03
952 --------------------------
953 - G4FieldTrack:
954   * Fixed SetChargeAndMoments() to use the new method
955     G4ChargeState::SetChargesAndMoments(); it was changing spin, because of
956     erroneous change in G4ChargeState::SetChargesAndMoments(), that method
957     is now renamed SetChargeSpinMoments() to show what it does;
958   * Added pdg-spin as argument to constructors (needed to track polarization);
959   * Renamed 'spin' to 'Polarization' in method, arguments, data member to
960     avoid confusion;
961   * Revised constructors to add pdg-spin as last argument (with default -1).
962 - G4ChargeState:
963   - Addressed Coverity issue #56281 'Arguments in wrong order'
964     G4ChargeState::SetChargeMoments() when used in
965     G4FieldTrack::SetChargeMoments() from addition of spin to arguments,
966     without revising name of method to reflect it;
967   - Changed order of arguments in constructor, making spin 3rd argument
968     (was 2nd) and making all arguments mandatory;
969   - Renamed SetChargeAndMoments() method with 5 arguments including spin (2nd)
970     to SetChargeSpinMoments();
971   - Added new methods including SetChargesAndMoments(), SetChargeMdm(),
972     SetChargeDipoleMoments() (no spin), and also SetChargeSpin(),
973     SetChargeMdmSpin() (which includes spin) to provide most/all potential
974     combinations.
975 - G4MagIntegratorDriver::OneGoodStep():
976   * Trial changes to address Valgrind issue, about value used before being set.

1488 -----------------------------
1489 - G4ChordFinder:
1490   o extended the arguments of AdvanceChordLimited  and  FindNextChord
1491     adding the current safety sphere (origin, radius), for use in optimising.
1492   o fixed set functions which had side effect (on first fraction.)
1493 - Added new class G4ChordFinderSaf (using above)
1494   o which uses safety to create longer chords, so enabling
1495       propagation in fewer steps --> performance optimisation
1496 - G4FieldManager:
1497     Changed default accuracy parameters to much better values:
1498         Epsilon Min Default  to 5.0e-5  from 5.0e-7  (too small)
1499         Epsilon Max Default  to 0.001   from 0.05    (far too big)
1500 
1501 Nov  7th, 2003  J.Apostolakis - field-V05-02-07

1503 - G4ChordFinder
1504   o Made this a base class
1505     * to enable specialised implementations
1506     * virtual methods: FindNextChord, PrintStatistics)
1507     * new method AccumulateStatistics to aid in this
1508 
1509   o New default value of                                      Accuracy!!

1520 ----------------------------
1521 - G4ChordFinder
1522    Created new class members for parameters used in heuristics:
1523        fFirstFraction            for first step
1524        fFractionLast             fraction of last step, if redoing
1525        fFractionNextEstimate     confidence in step est from chord
1526        fMultipleRadius           for small radii of curve

1543    >> Now these can be tailored for different parts of a detector or setup
1544 
1545 - G4Field G4ElectroMagneticField G4MagneticField
1546   o Adding the virtual method   DoesFieldChangeEnergy()  [to be used later]
1547   o So that G4ElectroMagneticField derives from G4Field
1548     and G4MagneticField derives from G4ElectroMagneticField
1549 
1550 - G4MagErrorStepper and derived classes
1551     (G4ClassicalRK4 G4SimpleRunge G4ExplicitEuler G4ImplicitEuler G4SimpleHeum)
1552   o the constructors take G4EquationOfMotion in place of a G4Mag_EqRhs
1553     as it these applicable to all types of equations
1554      (not just ones for Magnetic field)
1555

1596 -----------------------------
1597 - G4FieldManager:
1598   o Revised into 'slightly' abstract class with one (new) virtual method:
1599       ConfigureForTrack( const G4Track *)
1600     to enable the user to configure it with different accuracy parameters
1601     depending on energy, particle id, volume, or other track state.
1602     Currently by default, no such configuration action is undertaken.
1603 
1604 Jun 21st, 2003  J.Apostolakis - field-V05-01-03

1654   Now using directly CLHEP's headers.
1655 
1656 Dec 12th, 2002     G. Cosmo - field-V04-01-06
1657 ---------------------------
1658 - Moved unused variable 'nStpPr' to debug section in G4MagIntegratorDriver.cc,

1673 
1674 Nov 20th, 2002     J. Apostolakis - field-V04-01-03
1675 ---------------------------------
1676 Further fixes for unitialised variables:
1677 
1678 * G4MagIntegratorStepper
1679   -  Created instance variables for number of Integration, State variables
1680 
1681 * G4MagErrorStepper
1682   -  Utilise number of State variables to initialise full state of Output.
1683 
1684 * G4Mag_SpinEqRhs
1685   -  Initialise the values of dydx that we do not update.
1686 
1687 Note: Undoing these changes and the ones below would enable the user to see
1688         if undefined values are used in variables that he/she expects to
1689         have integrated.
1690       BUT the fix assists us to find truly undefined values elsewhere
1691         -- if they exist -- using valgrind.
1692 
1693 Nov  9th, 2002     J. Apostolakis - field-V04-01-02
1694 ---------------------------------
1695 Fixes to address use of uninitialised variable in seting values of FieldTrack
1696 (this was done by design, but was neither ideal or always well-behaved.)
1697 Changed:
1698 
1699 * G4MagIntegratorDriver
1700   - Added instance variables for number of Integration, State variables
1701   - Initialise all State variables of Output with values from initial variables.
1702   - Only the Integration variables will be integrated
1703 
1704 * G4ClassicalRK4 and G4MagErrorStepper
1705   - Copy the initial time to intermediate and output C-vectors,
1706      in order to provide a zero-eth estimate value.
1707   Note1: Should clean-up this fix, making it similar to Driver (above)
1708   Note2: Should *not* be used for time varying field unless created
1709            with at least 8 integration variables
1710 ---------------------------------

1716 
1717 G4Mag_UsualEqRhs.cc
1718   - Attempted approximations for speedup  *overwritten* by full inverse sqrt.
1719

1728   Changed tests to use the new method SetChargeMomentumMass of
1729   PropagatorInField in order to be ready for its full use in
1730   G4PropagatorInField.
1731   (A key problem at end-July was this non-preparedness of the unit tests.)
1732 
1733 Jul  24th, 2002   G. Cosmo - field-V04-01-01
1734 --------------------------
1735 - G4FieldManager[.hh.cc]: made fDefault_Delta_One_Step_Value and
1736   fDefault_Delta_Intersection_Val normal constants (not static) to
1737   resolve initialisation problems. Coworks with tag "geomvol-V04-01-01".
1738   Fixes problem report #383.
1739 
1740 Jul  23rd, 2002   G. Cosmo - field-V04-01-00

1843 
1844 Dec 4th, 2001  G. Cosmo - field-V03-02-08
1845 -----------------------
1846 - Fixed interface to virtual functions in the inheritance chain.
1847   Added 'virtual' qualifier to destructor and GetFieldValue() for subclasses

1884 
1885 Nov 9th, 2001  J. Apostolakis - field-V03-02-03
1886 -----------------------------
1887 Motivated by the use case of an Electric Field,
1888  - in order to achieve reasonable accuracy in time integration,
1889  - and to enable fields that vary with the global time)
1890 we (John Ap. and V. Grichine) changed the following:
1891 
1892 - Modified G4Field to allow the time in the GetFieldValue method
1893      - as 4th component of the "position" array.
1894 
1895 - Modified EquationOfMotion to provide the time to the GetFieldValue method
1896    of G4Field
1897       * as the 4th component of a position / time  4-array
1898       * in place of only position as a 3-arry
1899 
1900 - Added the global time as variable to be integrated over in the
1901    case of an Electric Field
1902 
1903 Support for these modifications is required in G4Transportation.
1904 
1905 (Better support will require either
1906  - a modification in G4FieldTrack to indicate whether the time has been
1907     integrated or not.
1908  - or additionally making the time calculation a property of G4FieldTrack,
1909     bring in code to do it in from G4Transportation.)
1910 
1911 
1912 Nov  8th, 2001  J. Apostolakis - field-V03-02-02
1913 ------------------------
1914 - Introduced several changes in G4MagIntegratorDriver.
1915 
1916    It now respects its minimum driver step size in AccurateAdvance.
1917      * whereas before it did not.
1918 
1919    Modified maximum number of steps, lowering by factor of 10.
1920      -> it should reduce the time spent integrating low energy particles,
1921    in some cases where it is unneccessary.
1922 
1923    Protected printing of (nearly?) all warnings with a G4DEBUG_FIELD  #ifdef.
1924 
1925 
1926 Nov 05th, 2001  G. Cosmo - field-V03-02-01
1927 ------------------------
1928 - Fixed trivial warnings on Linux-g++.
1929 
1930 Aug 27th, 2001  J. Apostolakis - field-V03-02-00
1931 ------------------------------
1932 Tagged last change.
1933 This tag is utilised in transport-V03-02-01 (which requires it).
1934 
1935 Aug 16th, 2001  J. Apostolakis
1936 ------------------------------
1937 G4ChordFinder:
1938  Added method to erase/reset the state of the StepEstimate.
1939  This is unwanted internal state that was carried between tracks and
1940      events as a side effect.
1941 
1942  Calling this at the start of each track, it is now possible to
1943  eliminate a non-repeatability that was possible due to this.
1944     ( It has been observed in particular in vaccuum. )
1945 
1946 May 23rd, 2001  J. Apostolakis - field-V03-01-02
1947 ------------------------------
1948 - Added Exception to G4RKG3Stepper constructor: the class does not work
1949 
1950 May 23rd, 2001  J. Apostolakis - field-V03-01-01
1951 ------------------------------
1952 - Fixed G4FieldManager constructors to give default values to delta
1953   parameters.
1954 
1955 - Updated testPropagateSpin (it now compiles),
1956    and some outputs of testPropagateMagField (1 to 5)
1957 
1958 
1959 Apr 12th, 2001  P. Gumplinger - field-V03-01-00
1960 -----------------------------
1961 - Updated G4Mag_SpinEqRhs.hh and G4Mag_SpinEqRhs.cc for correction
1962   to spin tracking.
1963 
1964 Apr 04th, 2001  G. Cosmo - field-V03-00-05
1965 ------------------------
1966 - G4FieldTrack.icc: fixed pedantic warnings on Linux-g++.
1967 
1968 Mar 23rd, 2001  J. Apostolakis - field-V03-00-04
1969 ------------------------------
1970 - Electric Field unit test now works: test runs until completion.
1971    Test outputs saved (on Linux).
1972 
1973 - Fixed src/G4UniformElectricField.cc to set correct field components
1974                                       (compatible with Equation of Motion
1975                                        G4EqMagElectricField )
1976 
1977 - Tidied G4FieldTrack
1978    * deleted obsolete methods Set/Get MomentumModulus() and its data member.
1979    * in constructor to set the value of the spin to (0.0, 0.0, 0.0)
1980           if pSpin is null.  (It was undefined.)
1981 
1982 Mar 23rd, 2001  J. Apostolakis - field-V03-00-03
1983 ------------------------------
1984 - Fixed (hacked) CashKarp to work using Auxiliary Stepper.
1985 
1986 - Modified G4MagIntegratorStepper
1987      to use pointer to G4EquationOfMotion
1988             instead of G4Mag_EqRhs
1989 
1990 - Design iteration appears neccessary
1991 
1992 Mar 23rd, 2001  J. Apostolakis - field-V03-00-02
1993 ------------------------------
1994 - Fixed G4MagHelicalStepper::AdvanceHelix for momentum, allowing
1995     the possibility of (correct) use of all Helical Steppers.
1996 
1997 - test/testProElectroMagField.cc updated for momentum.
1998     (Not yet updated: Spin tests)
1999 
2000 
2001 Mar 19th, 2001  J. Apostolakis - field-V03-00-01
2002 ------------------------------
2003 - Tagging the modification of several classes to integrate in momentum*c_light
2004     instead of velocity.
2005   Reason for change:  Velocity integration can result in superluminar
2006     velocities,  due to arithmetic inaccuracies.
2007   Classes modified:
2008     G4FieldTrack,   (Changed components 3,4,5 of SixVector to Momentum,
2009     G4Mag_EqRhs, G4Mag_UsualEqRhs, G4EqMagElectricField
2010 
2011 Feb 20th, 2001  J. Apostolakis
2012 
2013 - Modified several classes to integrate in momentum instead of velocity.
2014 
2015  G4FieldTrack:
2016      Changed components 3,4,5 of SixVector to Momentum,
2017      Modified constructor
2018      Added energy calculation to "LoadFromArray" method
2019      GetEnergy method is now implemented.
2020      Deleted obsolete (old) method names for Curve and Position. New have "Get"
2021 
2022  G4ChordFinder
2023      Renamed old-method names of Field Track to new ones.
2024 
2025 Jan 29th, 2001  G. Cosmo - field-V03-00-00
2026 -------------------------
2027 
2028 - Minor fix to G4MagneticField.hh: added explicit call to G4Field() in
2029   copy constructor. Fixes report #205.
2030 
2031 Nov 20th, 2000  G. Cosmo - field-V02-00-02
2032 
2033 - Fixes to remove warnings from "-Wall -ansi -pedantic" g++ compiler options:
2034   o commented out variables declared and not used.
2035   o fixed declaration of variables used before being initialised.
2036   o fixed order of initialisation of member data in constructors.
2037   o fixed usage of unsigned-int (size_t) for array indeces.
2038 
2039 Nov 9th, 2000  G. Cosmo - field-V02-00-01
2040 
2041 - G4FieldManager: added check on existence of allocated fChordFinder
2042   in CreateChordFinder(G4MagneticField*) method.
2043 
2044 Nov 1st, 2000  G. Cosmo - field-V02-00-00
2045 
2046 - QA code revision and cleanup (+fixes from CodeWizard filtering):
2047   o Added (private) declarations of copy constructor and assignment operator
2048     where needed.
2049   o Added "const" qualifier to accessor methods, wherever needed.
2050   o Added equality check on operator= where needed.
2051   o Made destructor "virtual" for classes having virtual methods,
2052     wherever missing.
2053   o Changed virtual functions to non-inline wherever's the case.
2054   o Changed return value to be "const" pointer to functions:
2055     - G4EquationOfMotion::GetFieldObj()
2056     - G4FieldManager::GetDetectorField()
2057     - G4MagIntegratorDriver::GetStepper()
2058   o Fixed and corrected signature to G4MagIntegratorDriver::SetHmin().
2059   o Added "inline" qualifier to methods' declarations.
2060   o General cosmetics
2061 
2062 Jun 2nd, 2000  J. Apostolakis
2063 - G4FieldManager[.hh.icc]
2064   o Added DeltaIntersection and DeltaOneStep to FieldManager: added
2065     Get/Set methods and SetAccuraciesWithDeltaOneStep().
2066 
2067 May 31st, 2000  J. Apostolakis - field-V01-01-03
2068 
2069 include/G4FieldManager.hh,icc
2070   o Moved Delta Intersection and Delta One Step to FieldManager
2071      (from Propagator in Field),  to allow them to differ over the detector.
2072 
2073 May 11th, 2000  J. Apostolakis - field-V01-01-02
2074 
2075 - G4ChordFinder[.hh.cc]
2076   o Modified method for finding new trial step.
2077     New method assumes a quadratic relationship between step-length and d_chord:
2078             d_chord  proportional  to  step-lenght ^ 2
2079   o Added two small refinement in order to avoid unneccesary extra step due to
2080     small numerical inaccuracies in estimation:
2081       FindNextChord
2082           to first step       use  (1-0.001) * last-step-estimate
2083       New Step:
2084           to subsequent step  use    trial_step = 0.98 * estimate
2085 
2086 May 10th, 2000  G. Cosmo
2087 
2088 - G4MagneticField.hh: minor fix to dummy implementation of assignment
2089   operator.
2090 
2091 May    9th, 2000   J. Apostolakis - field-V01-01-01
2092 
2093 - G4MagErrorStepper:
2094     Modified DistChord to check whether the chord endpoint are the same point.
2095 
2096 - G4RKG3_Stepper:
2097     Deleted error message from StepNoErr, as it is used in Stepper.
2098 
2099 - G4MagIntegratorDriver:
2100     Changed the condition for the debug output  (~cosmetic)
2101 
2102 
2103 April 27th, 2000   G. Cosmo
2104 
2105 - Reorganised comments for the Software Reference Manual.
2106 - Moved inlined definition to .icc files, where needed.
2107   Created: G4ChordFinder.icc and G4FieldManager.icc.
2108 
2109 April 13th, 2000   J. Apostolakis - field-V01-01-00
2110 
2111 - Modified signature to function DumbStepper() in classes:
2112   G4HelixExplicitEuler, G4HelixHeum, G4HelixImplicitEuler,
2113   G4HelixSimpleRunge and G4MagHelicalStepper.
2114 - Modified signature and implementation of function MagFieldEvaluate()
2115   in G4MagHelicalStepper, to use Field (as ThreeVector) in place of dydx.
2116 - Made Richardson extrapolation optional (it is unclear if
2117   it offers benefit) in G4MagHelicalStepper.
2118 - Updated unit test testPropagateMagField and reference output.
2119 - G4LineSection: fixes to prevent divisions by 0. and sqrt(<0)
2120   (V.Grichine).
2121 
2122 January  19th, 2000   G. Cosmo - field-V01-00-00
2123 
2124 Syncronized versioning of files with HEAD after ISO-C++ migration
2125 (essentially CVS header changes).
2126 
2127 December  7th, 1999   J. Apostolakis - field-V00-01-01a
2128 
2129 For negative or very small curve lengths (h) we suppress writing an error
2130 (about the distance of endpoints being further than the curve length),
2131 as it is meaningless.
2132 
2133 November 23rd, 1999   J. Apostolakis - field-V00-01-01
2134 
2135 Tagged this sub-category's state in geometry-V00-01-01

2137 
2138 July      6th, 1999   J. Apostolakis - field-01-00-07
2139 
2140 These fixes and those in field-01-00-06 and field-01-00-06a all come
2141 from the need to cope with the imprecision of the integration, and its
2142 interaction with paths that are rather straight.
2143 
2144 G4MagIntegrationDriver:
2145  i) AccurateAdvance now that the chord distance is smaller than the curve len-
2146 gth (times 1+epsilon).
2147 
2148 ii) OneGoodStep and QuickAdvance considers the error of the velocity as well as
2149 the error of the position - and ensure that both relative errors are within
2150 the "eps" maximum given.
2151 
2152 G4ChordFinder:
2153   Having found that the curve_length vs ABdist disrepancy has its basis in
2154 the imprecision of the integration:
2155   i) Modified the exception in this case to happen only for very large
2156    relative disrepancies ( 10 * eps ).
2157  ii) Undertaken a default corrective action in all other cases
2158 Note that this disrepancy only happens for very straight sections of track -
2159 ie step lengths much smaller than the curvature of the track.
2160 
2161 July      1st, 1999   J. Apostolakis - field-01-00-06a
2162 
2163 In order to cope with the anomalous condition created by candidate fix
2164 in G4PropagatorInField,  we ensure that the fraction_AE is always between
2165 0 and 1.0.  (giving it a default value of 0.5 whenever it is wrong).
2166 ( in G4ChordFinder::ApproxCurvePointV )
2167 
2168 June     29th, 1999   J. Apostolakis - field-01-00-06
2169 
2170   I re-instated a check on whether the input distance along the curve between
2171 the two input curve points is truly greater than their linear distance.
2172 ( in G4ChordFinder::ApproxCurvePointV )
2173 
2174 The condition that prints out a warning message has been altered to
2175 take into account the case of a very small final interval.
2176 ( in G4MagInt_Driver::AccurateAdvance )
2177 
2178 June     ??th, 1999   J. Apostolakis - field-01-00-05
2179 
2180 The condition that prints out a warning message was changed to delete
2181 an incorrect comparison.

2186 G4MagErrorStepper: Cosmetic changes to name of data members
2187 
2188 March     4th, 1999   J. Apostolakis - field-01-00-03
2189 
2190 Corrected delete statement of arrays to use 'delete[]' instead of simple delete
2191 in destructors of 2 steppers (G4CashKarpRKF45, G4SimpleHeum)
2192 
2193 February 17th, 1999   J. Apostolakis -  field-01-00-02
2194 
2195  Moved G4PropagatorInField files to geometry/volumes.
2196  Updated GNUmakefile not to depend on geometry/volumes anymore.
2197    -> the known circular dependency is removed
2198 
2199 
2200 February 12th, 1999   J. Apostolakis -  field-spin1-works1     (act Feb17)
2201 
2202   A tag that contains the first version that worked with spin (in Peter G.'s
2203 directory).   G4PropagateInSpin is still in this version.  A small change
2204 in a branch of the header file was needed.
2205 
2206 
2207 February 10th, 1999   J. Apostolakis
2208 
2209 All the following changes are needed for energy integration also:
2210 
2211 G4ChordFinder now passes to the constructed driver the number of variables.
2212 Because of the need for the stepper to know about it in its Abstract interface
2213 
2214 -> Moved theNumberOfVariables  from derived class G4MagErrorStepper
2215                                to base class G4MagIntegratorStepper
2216 
2217 As a consequense the classes that derived from G4MagIntegratorStepper directly
2218 were changed: G4CashKarpRKF45, G4MagHelicalStepper,
2219 
2220 
2221 February  9th, 1999    J. Apostolakis
2222 
2223 Equation of Motion:
2224 G4MagEqRhs.hh  Made SetChargeMomentumMass virtual, so that G4Mag_SpinEqRhs
2225                  can initialise its constants too.
2226 
2227 
2228 February  9th, 1999   P. Gumplinger
2229 
2230 Added Equation of Motion for Spin in Magnetic Field.
2231 
2232 
2233 February 17th, 1999   J. Apostolakis  -  field-01-00-01
2234   --->  date is correct, made sure that tag does not include above fixes!
2235 
2236  Moved G4PropagatorInField files to geometry/volumes.
2237  Updated GNUmakefile not to depend on geometry/volumes anymore.
2238    -> the known circular dependency is removed

2244 Nov   19th, 1998   J. Apostolakis  -  field-00-04-01head ===> R+D version only
2245 
2246  G4PropagatorInField files modified:
2247 
2248    - to store the last safety computed and its origin.
2249    - to give them to a requester

2254  Subtle fix to interface of G4UniformMagField::GetFieldValue
2255          ( that tripped Visual C++ )
2256 
2257  G4PropagatorInField:  added printing method for verboseness.
2258 
2259 Nov   19th, 1998   J. Apostolakis  -  field-00-03-03a
2260 
2261    Steppers:  Fixed instance variables construction (SimpleRunge)
2262               and clash of names in CashKarp::StepWithEstimate
2263 
2264    Added post-const to all Field classes for
2265            void GetFieldValue(const G4double yTrack[] ,
2266                                  G4double B[]      ) const ;
2267 
2268    Added SetFieldValue methods to UniformMagField
2269 
2270    Added GetConstantFieldValue() methods to Uniform Mag & Electric Fields

2292            test/testPropagateInField.cc
2293 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
2294 
2295  1)  Added an assertion after each call to LocateGlobalPointAndSetup.
2296      It checks that the located volume is equal to the current volume.
2297      If this check fails, the Propagator does not know how to continue.
2298 
2299  2)  Added an argument  to ComputeStep method of G4PropagatorInField.
2300   The new volume argument is used to check the current volume during the step.
2301 
2302  3)  When G4Navigator's ComputeStep returned  stepLength==stepRequested,  this
2303 used to be treated as a failure to intersect.  This is incorrect.
2304 
2305     stepLength==stepRequested is an intersection,
2306       so I am now treating it as such in each comparison (of 3).
2307       Ignoring it causes problems, including volume being skipped.
2308       --> but treating it as an intersection used to cause problems too ??

2318 - New "helical" RK steppers that move in helical segments, not linear.
2319     * Several changes to add steppers
2320 
2321  Modified Files:
2322         G4MagErrorStepper.hh
2323         G4MagErrorStepper.cc
2324            added Helical stepping methods to this general ABC.
2325 
2326         G4MagIntegratorStepper.hh
2327            made RightHandSide virtual   (this will be reversed very soon)
2328 
2329         testPropagateMagField.cc
2330            Test of Helical stepping functionality added.
2331 
2332  Added Files for new Helical RK steppers, deriving from G4MagErrorStepper:
