+
+ The Grasgory release: GRAS is really dead now.
+
+ GRAS:
+ * If you use GRAS, you should stay at SimGrid 3.5 (at most) since it
+ was considered as experimental and badly maintained since then.
+ * Keeping it was thus a trap to our potential users, that could take
+ it instead of MSG or SMPI by mistake despite is pity state.
+ * GRAS seems to have very few users (if any), and no one volunteered
+ to maintain it further. It also induces a lot of XBT code (for
+ portability sake), that must be maintained too.
+ * For all these reasons, we killed GRAS. If someone wants to revive it
+ in the future, don't cry, our git history still remembers of GRAS.
+
+ SMPI:
+ * Now works on Windows too!
+ * Much more extensive test suite, from MPICH
+
+ MSG:
+ * New function: MSG_process_get_number()
+
+ SURF:
+ * Change the default value of the TCP_gamma constant (maximal size of TCP
+ congestion window) to a more realistic 4MiB value. If you notice changes in
+ your simulation results, you can fall back to the previous 20k tiny window
+ by adding --cfg=network/TCP_gamma:20000 on command line.
+
+ XBT:
+ * Kill synchronized dynars, and xbt_dynar_dopar(). We cannot think of a
+ usecase where it's really mandatory, and maintaining it was a pain in
+ our codebase.
+ * New: xbt_fifo_search(), search an item with a user-provided
+ comparison function instead of dumb pointer comparison.

The Psssshiiiit release: SimGrid jumps into the Cloud.
* Bug fixes that made the host (and link) failures unusable.
* Add a way to auto-restart process when the host in which they are
executing comes back (ON_FAILURE="RESTART" on deployment file,
- MSG_process_auto_restart_set).
+ MSG_process_auto_restart_set).
* Use the "msg_" prefix for all datatypes (instead of m_, msg_ and MSG_),
please stop using the old ones, they are DEPRECATED.
-
+
* Deprecate functions MSG_global_init() / MSG_global_init_args()
Please use MSG_init() instead. (reducing the amount of entry
points in the library helps us).
* Re-implement time-independent trace replay using SMPI (at the
smpi_smp_* level) instead of MSG. This should replace
examples/msg/actions/actions.c
- * Implement support of MPI Datatypes (vectors, hvectors, indexed,
+ * Implement support of MPI Datatypes (vectors, hvectors, indexed,
hindexed and structs)
* Implement the exchange of non-contiguous data.
[Khalid Hasanov & Jean-Noel Quintin] Thanks for the patch, guys.
* Correct behavior of smpi/sender_gap and set its default value to 0
- * Add option to asynchronously send small messages to allow better
- simulation of pt2pt communications. --cfg=smpi/async_small_threshold:value
+ * Add option to asynchronously send small messages to allow better
+ simulation of pt2pt communications. --cfg=smpi/async_small_threshold:value
specifies the size in bytes under which messages will be asynchronously sent.
* Add support of MPI_Iprobe, MPI_Probe, MPI_Testall, MPI_Wtick functions
- * SMPI now handles more MPI specific values in input. Closes [#14389] and [#14388]

For more info, please check include/simgrid/platf.h.
* New interface to define random platforms from the C:
For more info, please check include/simgrid/platf_generator.h and
* Export a sg_cmdline dynar containing all the arguments we got from
the command line.
+ TRACE:
+ * Two new tracing options for adding comments to trace file so you
+ can track your experiments (see --help-tracing for details).
+ * New option to generate a impoverished trace file (--cfg=tracing/basic:1)
+ * Adding the SimGrid version that generated the trace file as a comment.
+ * Instrumenting other MSG functions (MSG_task_isend_with_matching and MSG_task_dsend)
+ * Fix to avoid key clashes on Paje links
+ * Other minor fixes related to the Paje specification
+
XBT:
* Functions xbt_dict_hash() and xbt_dict_hash_ext() are made public,
and renamed to xbt_str_hash() and xbt_str_hash_ext().
* Greatly improve the robustness of mmalloc to user errors (such as
using an area after freeing it, or freeing it twice)

SimGrid (3.7.1) stable; urgency=low
[Tests]
- use gras_exit in example to track memleaks
- get rid of gs_example now that GS is properly integrated into gras
- - update run_test to integrate the lastest tests (datadesc)
+ - update run_test to integrate the latest tests (datadesc)
[Logging]
- rename WARNINGn macros to WARNn since it prooved error-prone
