      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.

  • 2025-01-27 Andrii Verbytskyi (PR#1378)

    • Use standard locations if the LD_LIBRARY_PATH or ROOTSYS are empty, i.e. /usr/lib,usr/lib64, etc.

  • 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.

  • 2025-01-22 Dmitry Kalinkin (PR#1376)

    • DDSim: Steering files can now omit instantiating a new SIM = DD4hepSimulation(), and instead use a pre-defined variable with name SIM. This allows for steering files that preserve the existing state of DD4hepSimulation that a custom user code had set prior to the parseOptions() call.

  • 2025-01-21 Markus Frank (PR#1387)
    Update the reference files for the Pseudotrap shape checks after mesh creation updates in ROOT.
    Pseudotrap tests are disabled for G4 units due to numerical discrepancies when using G4 units vs. TGeo units.

  • 2025-01-20 Andre Sailer (PR#1371)

    • DDSim: add a reader for EDM4hep files, fixes #1369
      • DDSim can now read EDM4hep files in root format.

  • 2025-01-16 sss (PR#1384)

    • DD4hep::Segmentations: add cellsSpanVolumes function to mark segmentations that that can have cells that span multiple volumes, such as the Allegro ECal.

  • 2025-01-16 jmcarcell (PR#1380)

    • Revert some of the changes of #1375 to build a vector of floats instead of doubles since the necessary constructor doesn't exist in 0.10.X.
    • Use edm4hep::labels::CellIDEncoding only when they are available (starting at version 0.99)

  • 2025-01-13 sss (PR#1386)

    • Fix potential use of dangling temporary in exampe.

  • 2025-01-13 scott snyder (PR#1385)

  • 2025-01-09 jmcarcell (PR#1374)

    • Do not set or read the color flow for MCParticles from EDM4hep,
      needed after key4hep/EDM4hep#389

  • 2025-01-06 jmcarcell (PR#1375)

    • Fix a few compiler warnings (clang 18) about:
      • Set but unused variables and unused variables or declarations
      • Deprecated constructor for a Vector3d from a Vector3f from EDM4hep
      • Missing override
      • Having a space after operator"" is deprecated

  • 2024-12-10 Andre Sailer (PR#1368)

    • HitTupleAction: change how the tree is written and filled, because that caused segfaults in LCG stack runs of dd4hep example tests.

  • 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.

    • DDSim: Clarify that event processing includes Initialisation time, fixes #1364

  • 2024-12-09 ybedfer (PR#1365)

    • Adding a CartesianGridUV segmentation class, providing for a stereo readout, i.e. a readout at an angle w.r.t. the axes of the sensitive volume.
    • The class is a straightforward derivation of CartesianGridXY, with only few extras needed to register the angle parameter and execute the rotation.

  • 2024-12-05 Andre Sailer (PR#1362)

    • Geant4AssemblyVolume: use the same copy ID for the Geant4 Volume as was set in DD4hep geometry construction, fixes #1360 .

    • Drift chamber data extension DCH_info_struct has been extended with functions to calculate the projection of a point into a wire

  • 2024-11-21 ybedfer (PR#1357)
    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.

  • 2024-11-19 Andre Sailer (PR#1355)

    • CMake: fix for using Geant4 with internal CLHEP, fix linking error where -lG4clhep was not found. Fixes #1354

  • 2024-10-18 Andre Sailer (PR#1337)

    • CMake: explicitly ask for ROOTEve component if it exists so we potentially find the non-builtin nlohmann_json

  • 2024-10-18 Markus Frank (PR#1336)
    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)

    • checkOverlaps: move from DDG4 to DDCore as this does not depend on Geant4, no impact on users
    • checkGeometry: move from DDG4 to DDCore as this does not depend on Geant4, no impact on users
    • CI: Key4hep: set CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib because Qt6 sets GNUInstallDir

  • 2024-10-17 jmcarcell (PR#1333)

    • Use edm4hep::labels::CellIDEncoding instead of "CellIDEncoding"

    • 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.

    • By default do not keep hash string for detector checksum to minimize resource usage.
      As pointed out in Issue #1143 keeping the hash string of detector
      components is very often too resource/memory consuming. Hence keep the hashed strings only if requested
      e.g. for debugging purposes. By default the hash strings are not kept.
      This means the produces hash sums are NOT backwards compatible, because during the checksum creation the
      hash strings from sub-components were used. These are now consequently replaced by the corresponding hash codes.

      the DetElement tree.

    To test both, invoke e.g.:

    $> geoPluginRun -input ../DD4hep/DDDetectors/compact/SiD.xml \
     -plugin DD4hep_DetElementVolumeIDs -detector /world \
     -plugin DD4hep_DetectorDump -sensitive -volids
