+
+* 2024-02-19 Markus Frank ([PR#1228](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/1228))
+  - Fix DD4hep_DetectorDump plugin to avoid crash if a DetElement placement is invalid,
+     which is not allowed, but also should not end up in a crash.
+  - Add test to check if DetElements have proper placement set using MiniTel example
+    (see examples/ClientTests/compact/MiniTel_err_place.xml) and
+    test MiniTel_check_missing_placements
+  - The fake DD4hep object TwistedTube  did not correctly emulate the different constructors when converted
+    to Geant4. This should be fixed with this PR.
