+ - Some command line options were renamed for consistency sake:
+ - model-check/sparse-checkpoint -> model-check/sparse_checkpoint
+ - smpi/async_small_thres -> smpi/async_small_thresh
+ - smpi/send_is_detached_thres -> smpi/send_is_detached_thresh
+
+ - Removed Lua simulation bindings (switch to C or Java for that).
+ Lua can still be used to describe platforms
+ - Removed Java kernel plug-ins.
+ Will be reintroduced after the ongoing major internals reorg.
+ - In SimDag
+ - the SD_application_reinit function was removed. It was a noop for a while.
+ - The ACCESS_MODE of SD_workstation has been removed. This feature was not really usable and should soon be
+ replaced by a more flexible mechanism.
+ - The following functions thus do not exist anymore
+ - SD_workstation_get_access_mode
+ - SD_workstation_set_access_mode
+ - SD_workstation_get_current_task
+ - Basic estimation functions have been removed but can easily be replaced
+ - SD_route_get_communication_time => SG_route_get_latency() + amount / SD_route_get_bandwidth()
+ - SD_workstation_get_computation_time => amount / sg_host_speed()
+ - In Java
+ - VM.setBound(int load) is now VM.setBound(double bound) to meet the MSG semantics. Use VM.getSpeed()*load/100 for the legacy behavior.
+ - In CMake
+ - option enable_tracing was removed. It was not doing anything since a while.
+
+ XML platforms:
+ * Switch to platform v4 format.
+ - Rename from 'power' to 'speed' the attributes describing the amount of
+ flops that a <host>, <peer>, <cluster> or <cabinet> can deliver per second.
+ - In <trace_connect>, attribute kind="POWER" is now kind="SPEED".
+ - In <host> and <link>, attributes availability and state are gone.
+ It was redundent with state and availability traces, and with peak values.
+ - Kill <gpu>. Was not doing anything.
+ - The DOCTYPE points to the right URL:
+ http://simgrid.gforge.inria.fr/simgrid/simgrid.dtd
+ (the file at this address now documents the changelog since its v1)
+ - 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
+
+ * bin/simgrid_update_xml can upgrade your files automatically (won't convert unit-less values)
+ tools/sg_xml_unit_converter.py may help (but it's just a warning and will probably ever be).
