547 At least, after 2 years of hard work, we managed to release the 3.3
548 version of the SimGrid framework. There is so many changes that the
549 changelog only lists the most important ones, leaving alone the small
550 improvements, bug fixing and new gadgets.
554 * New simulation models, and improvement of the GTNetS wrapper
556 * Large memory savings (mainly in parser)
557 * Faster (twice faster is not uncommon, and from 20 hours to 2
558 minutes on very large scenarios)
559 * Much better scalability (tested up to 250,000 processes)
561 * Complete regression testing framework so that you can trust the tool
562 * Lot of neat new modules in the XBT toolbox
564 This version was thoroughly tested on linux 32bits and 64bits
565 (debian), as well as Mac OSX (leopard).
567 Unfortunately, our windows-guy left, and we cannot release the windows
568 version at the same time than the other archs. Any help would be
569 really welcomed here.
571 Some of the 96 included test suites are known to fail, but everything
572 should work anyway (don't panic):
573 * The amok module does not work in real deployment ATM, but I don't
574 see this as release critical since I'm not aware of anyone needing
576 * Some tests about the ability of GRAS to receive messages from
577 exotic platforms fail because I've lost access to these platforms
579 * the example/gras/pmm sometimes fails (about 1/10 of cases). I'm
580 quite puzzled, but I suspect a bug in the test, not in the lib.
581 * the tesh auto-tests "fail" on Mac OSX. This is because "rm -rf" is
582 sometimes too verbose (when the OS creates hidden files, I
583 suspect), but tesh definitely work as the rest on this arch.
