-SimGrid (3.12) NOT RELEASED; urgency=low
+SimGrid (3.13) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
+
+ The Easter Trim Release.
+
+ Backwards Compatibility breaks
+ - The option "model-check/sparse-checkpoint" was renamed to
+ "model-check/sparse_checkpoint" as we attempt to unify our naming
+ schemes.
+ - The option smpi/async_small_thres was renamed to smpi/async_small_thresh
+ as we attempt to unify our naming schemes.
+ - The option smpi/send_is_detached_thres was renamed to
+ smpi/send_is_detached_thresh as we attempt to unify our naming schemes.
+
+ - We removed support for writing your simulation in Lua; you can use
+ the Java bindings.
+
+ XML platforms:
+ * Switch to platform v4 format.
+ - Rename (power->speed) the attributes describing the amount of flop
+ that a <host>, <peer>, <cluster> or <cabinet> can deliver per second.
+ - In <trace_connect>, attribute kind="POWER" is now kind="SPEED".
+ - The DOCTYPE points to the right URL (this file):
+ http://simgrid.gforge.inria.fr/simgrid/simgrid.dtd
+ - A warning is emitted for unit-less values (they are still accepted).
+ - speed. Default: 'f' or 'flops'. Also defined:
+ 'Yf', 'Zf', 'Ef', 'Pf', 'Tf', 'Gf', 'Mf', 'kf'
+ 'yottaflops', 'zettaflops', 'exaflops', 'petaflops', 'teraflops', 'gigaflops', 'megaflops', 'kiloflops'
+ - bandwidth. Default: 'Bps' bytes per second (or 'bps' for bits but 1 Bps = 8 bps)
+ Also defined in bytes: 'TiBps', 'GiBps', 'MiBps', 'KiBps', 'TBps', 'GBps', 'MBps', 'kBps', 'Bps'
+ And the same in bits: 'Tibps', 'Gibps', 'Mibps', 'Kibps', 'Tbps', 'Gbps', 'Mbps', 'kbps', 'bps'
+ - latency. Default: 's' second. Also defined:
+ 'w' week, 'd' day, 'h' hour, 'm' minute, 'ms' millisecond, 'us' microsecond, 'ns' nanosecond, 'ps' picosecond
+ * Use the tool simgrid_update_xml to upgrade your files. It does not
+ convert the unit-less values. Use tools/sg_xml_unit_converter.py
+ for that (or live with the warnings).
+
+ S4U
+ * s4u::Host is now the prefered public interface to the Host features.
+ sg_host_* functions are C bindings to the exact same behavior
+ MSG_host_* and SD_workstation_* are #define to the sg_host_* ones
+
+ MSG
+ * Kill all deprecated functions. They were deprecated since a few
+ releases anyway, and probably did not even compile anymore.
+
+ Simix
+ * simgrid::simix::kernel() is the closure callback. It ensures that
+ the lambda or closure passed as a parameter will run in kernel mode.
+ Every callbacks should be rewritten to that interface at some point.
+
+ Surf
+ * Reorganizing and cleaning the internals all around the place.
+
+ SMPI
+ * Remove old default barrier/bcast buggy algorithms (see #18407)
+ * Various bugfixes to handle more codes
+
+ XBT
+ * Kill the setset data container: MC don't use it anymore.
+ * Kill the queue data container: it made more sense with GRAS.
+ * Kill the xbt_peer_t data type: it's useless without GRAS.
+ * New functions:
+ - xbt_dynar_sort_strings(), when the content is char*
+ - xbt_str_parse_int / xbt_str_parse_double, wrapping strtol/strtod
+ They throw exceptions on invalid input.
+
+ JAVA:
+ * Remove the ability to write internal plugins in Java.
+ It may be reintroduced once the ongoing cleanup is done.

+SimGrid (3.12) stable; urgency=low
+
+ The Facelift Release.
Build System
* Require g++ v4.7 at least to not speak prehistorical C++.
* Require Boost 1.48 (for signal2 component).
+ * Java must be version 7 at least when activated.
+ * Builds on Windows again (including Java bindings).
* Tracing is now always enabled (no way to turn it out)
* Remove GTNetS. It was not working anyway.
+ * Various cleanups in the cmake scripts.
* Move headers around to sort them out on installed systems:
- instr/instr.h -> simgrid/instr.h
- instr/jedule/* -> simgrid/jedule
- Sanitize the interface in MSG_task_ module:
- Merge two functions that were close enough but misleading:
set_compute_duration(t) -> set_flops_amount(t)
- get_remaining_computation(t) -> set_flops_amount(t)
+ get_remaining_computation(t) -> get_flops_amount(t)
- set_data_size(t) -> set_bytes_amount(t)
get_data_size(t) -> get_bytes_amount(t)
- Massive cleanups in the functions related to the energy
- Add a xbt_heap_update function, to avoid costly xbt_heap_remove+xbt_heap_insert use
- Add a xbt wrapper for simcall_mutex_trylock (asked in [#17878])
- Add two new log appenders : rollfile and splitfile. Patch by Fabien Chaix.
+ - xbt_dirname and xbt_basename for non-POSIX systems
MC
* The model checker now runs as a separate process.
* The model checker runs must now be launched with the new simgrid-mc program.
* Record/Replay: the MC can display a textual representation of a path in the
execution graph. It can then be replayed outside of the model checker.
