BEGINRELEASENOTES

• DDSim: correct the number of events when running over all events (-1), fixes #1257
• GenerationActionInit: declare properties to access number of processed runs (numberOfRuns) and events (numberOfEVents)
• DDG4: decode or eval all properties out of str or cppyy.gbl.string types

@andresailer In principle there is a property Geant4Kernel::NumEvents, which defines the number of events to be processed. This property is then passed to Geant4Exec, where the G4 machinery is invoked. Does this property not work or is this not sufficient to do the computation?

But here the number of events to be processed is going to be -1, so I want to check the actual counter of events processed.

@andresailer Correct. Then this approach looks correct.

Thanks @MarkusFrankATcernch
