+ General:
+ * Port to gcc 4.x
+ There was a stack corruption somewhere, visible only when optimizing
+ with these versions. [Vince]
+
+ SIMDAG:
+ * This is a NEW module! SimDAG (SD for short) is a revival of the old SG
+ module that enabled to play with Directed Acyclic Graphs. It is built
+ directly on top of SURF and provides an API rather close to the old
+ SG. Some old codes using SG are currently under rewrite to check that
+ all needful functions are provided. [Christophe Thiery]

SURF:
- * complete rewrote of the KCCFLN05 workstation model. It is now an
+ * Complete rewrite of the KCCFLN05 workstation model. It is now an
extension of the classical CLM03 model that gracefully handles
- failures. This is now the standard model for MSG and GRAS. It doesn't
+ failures. This is now the default model for MSG and GRAS. It doesn't
handle parallel tasks yet though. [AL]
* Bug fix: Weights were not correctly set in the network part.
WARNING: This may have resulted in incorrect results with simulations
SURF, MSG, GRAS:
* After a (long ?) discussion on simgrid-devel, we have decided that the
convention we had on units was stupid. That is why it has been decided
- to move from (MBits, MFlops, seconds) fo (Bits, Flops, seconds).
+ to move from (MBits, MFlops, seconds) to (Bits, Flops, seconds).
WARNING : This means that all previous platform files will not work as
such with this version! A warning is issued to ask users to update
their files. [AL]
(there was many failure situations I hadn't thought of and that weren't
correctly handled). [AL]
* New function: MSG_host_is_avail indicates you whether a given m_host_t
- is up or down.

GRAS:
* New! a real RPC mecanism, as it ought to be since too long. [MQ]
- Exception occuring on server-side are propagated back to client (!).
+ Exception occurring on server-side are propagated back to client (!).
API CHANGE: the callback changed their prototype. Change:
int my_handler(gras_socket_t expeditor, void *payload_data) {
gras_socket_t expeditor=gras_msg_cb_ctx_from(ctx);
and you're set.
* New! function: gras_msg_handleall to deal with all messages arriving
- within a given period.
+ within a given period.
+ * New! function: gras_socket_server_range to get a server socket in a
+ range of port numbers (ease to avoid port number conflicts) [MQ]
+ * New! gras processes display their backtrace when they get a SIGUSR1
+ or when Ctrl-C is pressed. Use Ctrl-C Ctrl-C to exit.
+ Sweet to debug RL processes [MQ]
AMOK:
* Bandwidth module:
- Do not force experiment sizes to be expressed in kb, or it becomes
- impossible to mesure the latency this way (needs one byte-long tests)
+ impossible to measure the latency this way (needs one byte-long tests)
WARNING: this changes the amok_bw_* function semantic. [MQ]
- Implements the link saturation stuff. [MQ]
- * Host management module:
+ * Peer management module:
New! module factorizing code that we wrote over and over [MQ].
XBT:
stdio may need to include it by themselves. [AL]
* Fixed xbt/log.h. A missing SG_BEGIN_DECL prevented compilation with
g++. [AL]
+ * Renamed xbt_host_t into xbt_peer_t since it betterly describes what I
+ meant. This breaks the API of AMOK and of xbt/config. Sorry about this,
+ but I guess that almost nobody used those parts. [MQ]
