556 At least, after 2 years of hard work, we managed to release the 3.3
557 version of the SimGrid framework. There is so many changes that the
558 changelog only lists the most important ones, leaving alone the small
559 improvements, bug fixing and new gadgets.
563 * New simulation models, and improvement of the GTNetS wrapper
565 * Large memory savings (mainly in parser)
566 * Faster (twice faster is not uncommon, and from 20 hours to 2
567 minutes on very large scenarios)
568 * Much better scalability (tested up to 250,000 processes)
570 * Complete regression testing framework so that you can trust the tool
571 * Lot of neat new modules in the XBT toolbox
573 This version was thoroughly tested on linux 32bits and 64bits
574 (debian), as well as Mac OSX (leopard).
576 Unfortunately, our windows-guy left, and we cannot release the windows
577 version at the same time than the other archs. Any help would be
578 really welcomed here.
580 Some of the 96 included test suites are known to fail, but everything
581 should work anyway (don't panic):
582 * The amok module does not work in real deployment ATM, but I don't
583 see this as release critical since I'm not aware of anyone needing
585 * Some tests about the ability of GRAS to receive messages from
586 exotic platforms fail because I've lost access to these platforms
588 * the example/gras/pmm sometimes fails (about 1/10 of cases). I'm
589 quite puzzled, but I suspect a bug in the test, not in the lib.
590 * the tesh auto-tests "fail" on Mac OSX. This is because "rm -rf" is
591 sometimes too verbose (when the OS creates hidden files, I
592 suspect), but tesh definitely work as the rest on this arch.
594 We hope to manage to do more timely releases in the future, even if
595 that may turn out difficult since big stuff is coming (I don't say
596 much here for the suspense ;)
598 We hope you'll enjoy this new version, and please report any feedback
599 on the <simgrid-user@lists.gforge.inria.fr> list.
