2025-10-28 Juan Miguel Carceller (PR#1517)
- Add a new EDM4hep file after the changes to generator-related information in key4hep/EDM4hep#446. The existing file is not readable. Change missing from #1499.
2025-10-28 Juan Miguel Carceller (PR#1516)

- (2) Do not install twice (if CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR is different from lib) some plugins
- (3) Use CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR instead of hardcoding lib. However, if CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR is unset, set it to lib to prevent it to be set when enabling DDG4.

2025-09-02 Andre Sailer (PR#1494)
- CI: mac: drop cmake, already installed
2025-09-02 Markus Frank (PR#1493)
if tessellated shapes are encountered ROOT material scans are unreliable, because tessellated shapes do not
participate in tracking. For the graphical scan a warning message is issued to warn the user that the scan
results are not reliable.
This was mentioned in Issue #1490 but there nothing
we can do about in dd4hep, because this is a deficiency, which must be resolved in the ROOT geometry package.
2025-09-02 Juan Miguel Carceller (PR#1491)
- Examples: Remove the inclusion of ./include for ClientTests since this folder doesn't exist
2025-08-15 Thomas Madlener (PR#1488)
- EDM4hep input and output: Use edm4hep::MCParticle::helicity once it is available instead of the potentially dangerous spin. See key4hep/EDM4hep#404 for the corresponding upstream changes

2025-08-12 jmcarcell (PR#1484)
- DetectorImp.cpp: Clean up and modernize: Remove the unused struct TypePreserve, avoid calling find and then emplace in maps and call only emplace instead, use nullptr instead of 0, do not check pointers before deleting since deleting nullptr is a no-op, and simplify when possible.
2025-08-12 jmcarcell (PR#1483)

2025-07-23 Andre Sailer (PR#1476)
- DDG4: Add possibility to call G4PrimaryTransformer::SetKETolerance to silence warnings about differences in dynamic particle masses from MC Generators. Fixes #1475
2025-07-21 Markus Frank (PR#1478)
- Compact parser:
  When a <info> tag is detected, do not always recreate a new header object, but rather update
  a possibly existing object. In addition also print a warning.
- When creating assemblies using the factory method a TGeoAssemblyShape was created and attached to the
  TGeoAssemblyVolume. This leaves on shape object orphaned and hence leads to a memory leak.
  Instead if a assembly volume is created, first create the volume and then register the implicitly created shape.
2025-07-21 jmcarcell (PR#1477)
- Remove a few empty files
2025-07-16 Andre Sailer (PR#1474)

fix typo in CMakeLists.txt so that DD4HEP_DISABLE_PACKAGES list is properly parsed

2025-03-17 Markus Frank (PR#1420)

Fix for issue #1418.
Individual DD4HEP sub-packages can be disable from the cmake command line:

$> cmake <other options> -DDD4HEP_DISABLE_PACKAGES="DDRec DDEve DDDigi"  ../DD4hep

This will disable the sub-packages DDRec,DDEve,DDDigi:

$> cmake -DDD4HEP_DISABLE_PACKAGES="DDRec DDEve DDDigi"  ../DD4hep
     -- Could NOT find LATEX (missing: LATEX_COMPILER) 
     -- No LaTeX/Biber found, cannot compile user manual.
     -- Disable package: DDEve
     -- Disable package: DDDigi
     -- Disable package: DDRec
     -- Will be building these packages: DDDetectors;DDCond;DDAlign;DDCAD;DDG4;UtilityApps
     -- Including DD4hepBuild.cmake

Clearly no prevision can be done concerning package dependencies. This is up to the user.
For example DDG4 cannot be disabled if DDDigi should be kept.

2025-01-25 Markus Frank (PR#1390)
- Optimize the Geant4VolumeManager. Instead of mapping the Geant4 pathes as vectors of pointers,
  hash64 the pointers of the path and lookup pathes from the touchable history using this key.
- Relevant changes are in the files DDG4/Geant4GeometryInfo.h and src/Geant4VolumeManager.cpp.
  Everything else is only cosmetics.

2024-12-10 Markus Frank (PR#1367)
- If memory is an issue, the Geant4 memory consumption can be reduced using the smartless option of
  G4LogicalVolume entities. This MR exposes this feature of Geant4 to dd4hep.
  Example fragment of the code:
```
  Volume vol = ....;
  // 2 is the Geant4 voxelization default. 0 means no voxelization,
  // values bigger than 2 will need more memory.
  int value =  0 .... 5; 
  vol.setSmartlessValue(value);
```
  Fixes #1361
  - An example (+test) is supplied as well:
    - ClientTests/compact/DriftChamber.xml
    - ClientTests/scripts/DriftChamber.py
      where the voxelization is reduced.

Bug fix in CylindricalGridPhiZ:
- In the cellId member method, one now refrains from reducing the phi parameter modulo 2pi when its IDdescriptor is signed.
- When the offset is null, this means that the phi range is now [-pi,pi], instead of the previously [0,2pi] which is not appropriate for a signed quantity.

Add implementation for signal handling.
- The generic signal handler in DDCore may be used and specialized by applications as shon in the DDG4 package (see for details src/Geant4Kernel.h)
- Use generic signal handler in DDG4 for controlled shutdown on CTRL-C.
- Add test DDG4_SIGINT_handler in examples/DDG4
  to enable the signal handling use from python:
```
geant4 = DDG4.Geant4(kernel, tracker='Geant4TrackerCombineAction')
geant4.registerInterruptHandler() 
```
  Please note: The signal handler must be explicitly installed. DDG4 is a library framework and does not intervene in actions which users possibly want to handle themselves! This mechanism looks simple enough that it should not be annoying.
- This MR should implement issue#1330 and supposedly supersedes PR#1300
2024-10-17 Andre Sailer (PR#1334)

2024-07-05 Markus Frank (PR#1289)
- Add RegexSD example for illustration: See #1288
2024-07-05 Markus Frank (PR#1288)
- As reported in this issue #1285 under certain circumstances the memory usage of DDG4 goes through the roof. This was traced back to the creation of excessive maps in the Geant4VolumeManager, if the number of sensitive pathes is very high like e.g. for straw detectors.
- To solve the problem, geometry constructors may not declare any sensitive volumes. Hence the Geant4VolumeManager will not be populated. To still make Geant4 functioning, the sensitive volumes may be declared a posterior after conversion using regular expressions as implemented in the class Geant4RegexSensitivesConstruction. This class is only an example how such functionality may be achieved: other solutions are possible as well. This functionality can be switched at the level of each subdetector participating in the experiment setup.
- To illustrate, an example detector BoxOfStraws was constructed with a flag in the xml description:
```
    <detector id="1" name="BoxOfStrawsDet" type="DD4hep_BoxOfStraws" readout="BoxOfStrawsHits" vis="VisibleGreen" region="StrawRegion" limits="BoxOfStrawsLimitSet">
      <box      x="1*m"    y="1*m" z="1000*mm"  limits="BoxOfStrawsLimitSet" vis="VisibleRed"/>
      <straw rmax="0.5*mm" y="1*m" thickness="0.1*mm" vis="VisibleBlue">
        <material name="Iron"/>
      </straw>
      <gas vis="VisibleGreen">
        <material name="Argon"/>
        <non_sensitive/>
      </gas>
      <position x="0*m"   y="0*m"   z="0*m"/>
      <rotation x="0"     y="0"     z="0"/>
    </detector>
```
Change <non_sensitive/> to <sensitive/> and the different behavor of memory allocation when starting Geant4 can be observed.
The corresponding Geant4 python script can be found here:
```
<DD4hep>/examples/ClientTests/scripts/BoxOfStraws.py
```
The memory consumption differs then as follows (depending on the thickness of the straws, which determine the number of sensitive pathes):
```
With explicit sensitive volumes:   
before Geant4VolumeManager:    Virtual: 903.3m   resident: 690.5m
after Geant4VolumeManager:     Virtual: 1848.2m  resident: 1.6g   


With Sensitives matching regex and not sensitive volumes declared:
before Geant4VolumeManager:    Virtual: 903.3m   Resident: 690.6m 
after Geant4VolumeManager:     Virtual: 903.3m   Resident: 690.6m 
Simulating:                    Virtual: 903.5m   Resident: 692.6m 
```
Hence this is a possibility to significantly reduce memory consumption for highly granular subdetectors.
2024-07-01 Markus Frank (PR#1287)
- As noted by Ben, the global alignment does not work in the presence of assemblies.
  This PR together with root-project/root#15905 fixes this deficiency.
