SimGrid (3.9) NOT RELEASED; urgency=low
+ 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()
+ * Old function documented: MSG_config()
+
+ 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.
+ * Bug fix about the way periodic availability/state traces are handled.
+ * Bug fix: use default values at start when first event in availability/state
+ trace is not at time 0.
+
+ PLATFORM:
+ * remove the "new_" part of function name sg_platf_new_trace_connect
+ (resulting in sg_platf_trace_connect), since it does not create
+ anything new
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.
