  • 2026-04-27 Juan Miguel Carceller (PR#1621)

    • ddsim: Allow passing batch as runType for G4Gun and G4GPS

  • 2026-04-24 Markus Frank (PR#1620)

    • Improve the interface to access material properties from materials if used:
        /// Access the number of properties attached to the material (if any)
    std::size_t numProperties()  const;
    /// Access to tabular properties of the material by index
    Property    property(std::size_t index)  const;
    /// Access to tabular properties of the material by name
    Property    property(const char* name)  const;
    /// Access to tabular properties of the material by name
    Property    property(const std::string& name)  const;
    /// Access string property value from the material table
    std::string propertyRef(const std::string& name, const std::string& default_value="");
    /// Access the number of const properties attached to the material (if any)
    std::size_t numConstProperties()  const;
    /// Access to const properties of the material by index
    double      constProperty(std::size_t index)  const;
    /// Access to tabular properties of the material
    double      constProperty(const std::string& name)  const;
    /// Access string property value from the material table
    std::string constPropertyRef(const std::string& name, const std::string& default_value="");

    See for examples the area: examples/ClientTests/src/MaterialTester_geo.cpp

    • In Geant4 special tags are used if the properties should be treated in a special way by Geant4:
      (see examples/OpticalSurfaces/compact/ReadMaterialProperties.xml)
      -- the tag Geant4-ignore hides the material property entirely from the Geant4 materials
      -- the tag Geant4-custom injects the property into the Geant4 material. It may be used in user code
      and accessed from regular Geant4 materials.
      -- the tag Geant4-plugin hides the property from Geant4 and allows the usage inside Geant4 plugins.

    Users are e.g. RICH reconstruction and Channeling experiments. [Request from W,Pokorski]

    • Remove checks for nullptrs before deleting, since deleting nullptr is a no-op

  • 2026-04-20 Markus Frank (PR#1618)

    • Protect the usage of NON-Geant4 properties against usage (and exceptions) when converting geometries to Geant4.

    Since Geant4 version 11 the check of for an accepted material property throws a fatal exception, which forces Geant4 to call exit. This MR fixes this behavior by checking the possibility upfront by checking the property names rather than a returned negative index.
    Issue reported by W.Pokorski.

  • 2026-04-15 sss (PR#1608)

    • SDActions: Fix possible issues in looking up volumes by IDs in the case where VolumeIDs may be duplicated across subdetectors.

  • 2026-04-14 sss (PR#1611)

    • Change DetectorSelector to take a const Detector reference.

  • 2026-04-14 sss (PR#1610)

    • Tweak script permissions so that they work when installed as symlinks (CMAKE_INSTALL_MODE=ABS_SYMLINK).

  • 2026-04-14 Wouter Deconinck (PR#1602)

    • add Halton sequences support to isotrope generator

  • 2026-04-13 sss (PR#1609)

    • Fix typo in error message.

  • 2026-04-13 Juan Miguel Carceller (PR#1607)

    • CI: Update the checkout action since v4 uses a deprecated version of Node.js

  • 2026-04-13 Juan Miguel Carceller (PR#1605)

    • BitFieldCoder: Fix undefined behaviour if width is 32 (or greater) and the bitfield is unsigned. Then 1 << width is undefined behaviour.

  • 2026-03-31 Arthur Hennequin (PR#1603)

    • Shapes.h: Remove unused template function calling non existing function. (fix nvcc build)

  • 2026-03-26 Markus Frank (PR#1600)

    • Remove LCDD Geometry conversion. The LCDD was never used in D4hep, since DD4hep was not adopted by Slic.
      In any case, the GDML conversion either from Geant4 of from TGeo offers very similar functionality.
      See also issue #1597
    • Keep the extraction of visualization attributes.
    • Remove all examples testing the conversion to LCDD.

  • 2026-03-23 Thomas Madlener (PR#1582)

    • Set the fast simulation flag for MCParticles (in EDM4hep version 1.0.1) for which at least one contribution to a calorimeter hit has been created by fast simulation.
    • Set the step length for contributions that are created by fast simulation to -1 to clearly distinguish them from those created by ordinary simulation as those by definition have a step length that is >= 0. This will only be effective if the detailed shower mode is enabled.
