                 Geant4 10.1 - patch-02 Release Notes
                 ------------------------------------

                                                            19 June 2015

List of fixes included in this public patch since the public release 10.1.p01:

  o Configuration:
    -------------
    + CMake:
      o Added extensions to allow use of system CLHEP granular libraries.
        Provide new advanced option GEANT4_USE_SYSTEM_CLHEP_GRANULAR, which can
        be set to enable use of CLHEP granular libraries from the system; when
        activated, use new FindCLHEP interface to search for Geant4's required
        Export and document a new variable "Geant4_system_clhep_ISGRANULAR" that
        clients can query to check whether the system CLHEP was linked in granular
        mode. Support CLHEP granular library listing in '--libs' argument.
        Added CLHEP_ROOT_DIR to CMake cache, allowing it to be edited in the
        CMake curses/GUI.
      o Updated AppleClang version regex to properly parse LLVM version
        number in Xcode 6.3.
      o Corrected Qt5 settings for test applications.
      o Added '-no-gcc' compilation option for Intel-icc compiler.
    + GNUMake:
      o Updated CPPFLAGS for Linux-icc and WIN32-g++ configurations.

  o Analysis:
    --------
    + Updated to g4tools 1.17.2: changes for Windows (MinGW) to use '_MSC_VER'
      in place of 'WIN32' flag. Addressing problem report #1721.

  o Event:
    -----
    + Increased level of verbosity of /gps/verbose command.
      /gps/verbose now acts globally on all sources in case of multiple ones
      (no need to activate verbosity for each source).
      Protecting the command /gps/source/set in case of out-of-bound index.
      Addressing problem report #1744.
    + Clean up code and removed not needed thread-local data that 
      need to be shared for UI commands to work properly.
    + Fixes for Coverity defects.

  o Externals:
    ---------
    + CLHEP:
      o Fixed usage of std::abs() in RandGaussZiggurat.
      o Moved static methods handling static data in G4RandGauss from inline
        to source. Addressing problem report #1754.
      o Switch off warnings for deprecated calls to auto_ptr in Utility headers.
    + USolids:
      o Corrected string returned as type-ID by GetEntityType() to conform
        to shape kind in: UExtrudedSolid, UMultiUnion, UQuadrangularFacet,
        UTessellatedSolid, UTrap, UTriangularFacet and UVCSGfaceted.
      o Replaced Exception IDs in UUtils to avoid clashes with wild global
        extern functions in Root.
      o UVector3: made data private and defined accessors x(), y() and z().
        Made implementations operators +(), -(), *(), and /() inline.
        Adapted all classes to the change.
      o Fixed DistanceToOut(p) and Inside(p) in USphere for sphere cut in theta
        for point (0,0,0) and for cases when Start/End angle have not to be taken
        in account (STheta==0 || eTheta==pi).
      o Added method GetPointOnEdge() to UBox.
      o Fixed Coverity defect for unused variable quantity in UCons.
      o Some code cleanup and minor fixes...

  o Geometry:
    --------
    + divisions:
      o G4VDivisionParameterisation: avoid creation/deletion of rotation matrix
        for ChangeRotMatrix(). Addressing problem report #1743.
      o Fixed Coverity defect in G4ReplicatedSlice for uninitialised pointer.
    + management:
      o Added streaming operator <<() to G4AffineTransform.
      o Removed unused data-member in G4LogicalVolume, and fixed minor
        Coverity defect for unitialised member 'fBiasWeight' in constructor.
      o G4USolid: use accessors x(), y() and z() from UVector3, instead of
        directly accessing its data-members.
        Use scoped enum for EnumSide if c++11 enabled.
    + navigation:
      o Enabled ComputeStep() in navigation helper classes (Normal, Voxel,
        and Parameterised) to recognise invalid points outside the mother
        volume. Before it was not recognised, but used instead as a numeric
        value (kInfinity). In case it was kInfinity, this meant the volume
        could not be chosen, and the track never exited the volume. This
        invalid response now triggers an immediate exit from the volume
        and daughters do not need to be considered.
        Use return value of motherSolid DistanceToOut(p,v), each time
        that it is called. Correct 'invalid' answer ('kInfinity' or
        negative) to zero.
      o Improvements in G4PropagatorInField to enable identification of first
        and last step in a volume, when tracking in a field.
        Addressing old problem report #1032.
        Added new methods to report looping and stuck tracks and correction
        for roundoff issue.
      o NavigationLogger: added method for Reporting a point is outside the
        mother volume: CheckAndReportBadNormal(), CheckDaughterEntryPoint().
      o G4AuxiliaryNavigationServices: optimised to reuse dot product, rather
        than recomputing; added optional printout (protected by debug flag).
      o G4VIntersectionLocator: added PrintStatus() method with additional
        ostringstream argument.
      o Code cleanup and various minor fixes.
    + solids/Boolean:
      o G4UMultiUnion: use accessors x(), y() and z() from UVector3, instead
        of directly accessing its data-members.
    + solids/CSG:
      o Fixed calculation of Normal in G4Para for kPX and kMX sides in
        DistanceToOut(p,v) and ApproxSurfaceNormal(p).
        Addressing problem report #1736.
      o Fixed DistanceToOut(p) and Inside(p) in G4Sphere for sphere cut in theta
        for point (0,0,0) and for cases when Start/End angle have not to be taken
        in account (STheta==0 || eTheta==pi).
        Added corresponding test cases to unit test for testG4Sphere.
        Fix triggered by analysing setup provided in problem report #1702.
      o Use accessors x(), y() and z() from UVector3 in USolids wrappers, instead
        of directly accessing its data-members.
      o Fixed Coverity defect for unused variable quantity in G4Cons.
    + solids/specific:
      o Use accessors x(), y() and z() from UVector3 in USolids wrappers, instead
        of directly accessing its data-members.
    + volumes:
      o Simplified implementation in G4NavigationHistoryPool to make use of simple
        stack of free entries. Pre-allocate size of vectors and inlined GetLevels().
        Also addressing problem report #1730.

  o Generic Processes:
    -----------------
    + Transportation:
      o G4Transportation, G4CoupledTransportation: added ability to identify last
        step in volume for the case of propagation in field.
        Addresses old problem report #1032.

  o Global:
    ------
    + Fix in G4StatDouble to return RMS 0 instead of -1 in the case the number
      of entries is below 2 (fixes arithmetic exceptions in examples for run
      with 1 event only).
    + Fixed bug in G4CacheReference::Destroy(); modified behavior to identify
      internal inconsistencies and throw exception.
    + Added copy constructor and assignment operator to G4Cache.
      Addressing problem report #1739.
    + Corrected logic for use of TLS on clang compiler for the Random module.
    + Added guard against potential loop in G4RandomTools::G4LambertianRand().
    + Added "g/mole" Molar mass definition to G4UnitsTable.
    + Define G4THREADSLEEP(tick) macro in G4Threading.hh also for sequential
      builds.

        consistent with addition done since release 10.0.
      o Avoid use of standard evaluator for import of units; adopt G4UnitsTable
        instead, in order to avoid loss of precision due to unit's conversion.
      o Correction for optional stripping of world-volume.
      o Corrected parsing of shape type-ID for MultiUnion in G4GDMLWriteSolids.
      o Improved text in G4Exception for failed import of file in G4GDMLRead.
