+    This pull request is supposed to close these missing include features.
+  - See issue https://github.com/AIDASoft/DD4hep/issues/1180 for details)
+  - See the examples ClientTests: minitel_config_plugins_include_command_xml
+    with the compact file ClientTests/compact/IncludePlugins.xml for an example.

+  - CMake: DDG4: Check if the CLHEP target exists before creating it in DD4hepBuild.cmake, since if it exists cmake will error.

+  - DDEve Webdisplay: fix issue with ROOT master with RGeomViewer no longer being in the experimental namespace.
+
+* 2023-08-24 Andre Sailer ([PR#1160](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/1160))
+  - SiliconBlockGFlash: add maximal energy for using parametrisation, for electron and positron, fixes #1153
+
+* 2023-08-24 Markus Frank ([PR#1155](https://github.com/aidasoft/dd4hep/pull/1155))
+  - Implement correct transparency handling of ROOT:
+    The transparency setting was connected to the material of the volume.
+    This led to the same transparency setting for all volumes of the same material.
+    It was not possible to change them at the level of the volume though 
+    the API  suggested so.
+    See: https://github.com/AIDASoft/DD4hep/issues/1117
+    See: https://github.com/root-project/root/pull/13402
+  - Add test examples/ClientTests/compact/visTestEx.xml and visTest.xml.
+    From the inversion of tubes with the same material, for ROOT >= 6.29
+    the correct transparency settings are shown, whereas for ROOT < 6.29
+    the transparency settings are the same for all volumes.
+    Also see scripts/visTest.C
