-------------------------------
General set-up and installation:
-------------------------------
- This version is validated for Geant4 10.2 and Geant4 10.1
- The compilation is validated for from gcc4.4 to gcc4.9
- It is no more needed to use system CLHEP. Geant4 embedded version now works (flag GATE_USE_SYSTEM_CLHEP=OFF by default).
Alternatively, users may still use system CLHEP version 2.3.1.1 (put the flag ON).
- To download binary data for benchmark and example folders, set GATE_DOWNLOAD_BENCHMARKS_DATA and GATE_DOWNLOAD_EXAMPLES_DATA
variables to ON.
- For GPU features the CUDA tools are needed (see doc).

-----------------------------
New developments and features:
-----------------------------
- GATE must use GEANT4 10.2, compiled without MT support
- New X-ray imaging Fixed Forced Detection (FFD) actor (analytic primary radiations / fixed forced variance reduction technique for scattered radiations). It requires RTK v1.2 (http://www.openrtk.org)
- New vpgTLE actor to compute prompt-gamma yield (10^3 faster than conventional Monte-Carlo)
- Improve DoseActor (MassWeighting and buildAndDumpDensityImage option)
- Qt5 compatible (if Geant4 is linked with Qt5)
- Default material is now NIST Air
- IAEA phase space bug correction
- C++11 compatibility
- ImageActor now accepts any combination of two among Size, Voxel Size and Resolution
- Phase space: change branch names to reflect G4 names (CreatorProcess and DefinedStepProcess)
- Save a lot of memory in TPSPencilBeam
- Various bug fixes
