-TODO:
- [SG plugin]
- - Porting to new standards.
- [SG select]
- - Porting to new standards.
+2004-07-11 Martin Quinson
+ version 0.0.4
+ - Get it working with any kind of structure (we can compute the padding
+ bytes remotely for all the architectures I have access to)
+ - Implement the structure parsing macro (still not quite robust/complete)
+ - Improvement to the remote testing toysuite
+
+2004-07-10 Martin Quinson
+ [autoconf mecanism]
+ - get ride of a bunch of deprecated macros
+ - actually run the test for two-compliment, not only compile it :-/
+ - test whether the structures get packed (and bail out if yes. Damn.
+ Alignment is a serious matter)
+ - test whether the structures get compacted (but respecting the alignment
+ constraints of each types)
+ - test whether the array fields of structures can straddle alignment boundaries
+ [base]
+ - Damnit, double are bigger than float (typo in creation of 'double' datadesc)
+ (took me 2 hours to find that bug, looking at the wrong place)
+ - Add gras_datadesc_declare_{union,struct}_close(). They must be used
+ before sending/receiving and are used to compute the offsets of fields
+ - Given that padding size depend even on compiler options, keep track of
+ alignment and aligned_size only for the current architecture. Not a big
+ deal since we send structure fields one after the other (seems
+ reasonable).
+ - Add the datastructure used for IEEE paper by the PBIO guys to the test
+ program, let it work on linux/gcc/little32. portability todo.

+2004-07-08 Martin Quinson
+ - import and improve remote compilation support from FAST
+ - make sure make check works on half a dozen of machines out there
+
+2004-07-07 Martin Quinson
+ Let's say it's version 0.0.3 ;)
+ - Implement conversions (yuhu!)
+ - Let it work on solaris (beside conversion, of course)
+ - Stupid me, using rand() to generate the conversion datatests in not wise.
+
+2004-07-06 Martin Quinson
+ - Let make dist work, since I'm gonna need it to compile on remote hosts
+ - Let Tests/datadesc_usage write the architecture on which the file was
+ generated as first byte.
+ - Add PowerPC (being also IRIX64), SPARC (also power4) and ALPHA
+ architecture descriptions.
+ - Add datadesc_usage.{i386,ppc,sparc} files being the result of execution
+ on those architectures.
+ - Optimization: send/recv array of scalar in one shoot
+
+2004-07-05 Martin Quinson
+ - YEAH! GRAS/SG and GRAS/RL are both able to run the ping example !
+
+ - Plug a whole bunch of memleaks
+ - each process now have to call gras_{init,exit}. One day, their log
+ settings will be separated
+ - Continue the code factorisation between SG, RL and common in Transport.
+
+2004-07-04 Martin Quinson
+ [Transport]
+ - Redistribution between SG and RL.
+ We wanna have to accept in SG, so move accepted related parts of RL in
+ the common part. (more precisely, the dynar of all known sockets is no
+ more a static in transport.c, but part of the process_data)
+ [Core/module.c]
+ [gras_stub_generator]
+ - Bug fix: Do call gras_process_init from gras_init (wasnt called in RL).
+
+2004-07-03 Martin Quinson
+ - Create a new log channel tbx containing dict, set, log, dynar (to shut
+ them all up in one shot)
+ [DataDesc]
+ - Fix the ugly case of reference to dynamic array.
+ - New (semi-public) function gras_datadesc_size to allow the messaging
+ layer to malloc the needed space for the buffer.
+ [Transport]
+ - gras_socket_close now expect the socket to close (and not its address to
+ put NULL in it after it). This is because the socket passed to handlers
+ is one of their argument (=> not writable).
+ [Messaging]
+ - propagate the interface cleanup from last week in datadesc, ie remove a
+ superfluous level of indirection. User pass adress of variable
+ containing data (both when sending and receiving), and not of a variable
+ being a pointer to the data. Let's say that I like it better ;)
+ The price for that is constructs like "int msg=*(int*)payload" in
+ handlers, but it's a fine price, IMHO.
+ [examples/ping]
+ - Let it work in RL (yuhu)
+
+2004-06-21 Martin Quinson
+ [Transport]
+ - porting SG plugin and SG select to new standards (works almost).
+ - plug memleaks and fix bugs around.
+
+ [DataDesc]
+ - cleanup the prototype of data recv and force users to specify when they
+ want to handle references to objects. Test case working even for cycles.
+ - plug memleaks. Valgrind is perfectly ok with this.
+
+2004-06-12 Martin Quinson
+ [Transport]
+ - cleanup the separation between plugin and main code in plugin creation
+
+2004-06-11 Martin Quinson
+ [Transport]
+ - Reput hook for raw sockets, needed for BW experiments
+ - kill a few lines of dead code
+ [Data description] Interface cleanup
+ - gras_datadesc_by_name returns the searched type or NULL.
+ That way, no variable is needed to use a type desc once, which makes
+ the code clearer.
+ - gras_datadesc_declare_[struct|union]_append_name is removed. The last
+ two parameters were strings (field name, type name), leading to
+ common errors.
+ [Dicos] Interface cleanup
+ - gras_dico_retrieve -> gras_dico_get ; gras_dico_insert -> gras_dico_set
+ This is consistant with the dynar API.

[Logging]
- rename WARNINGn macros to WARNn since it prooved error-prone
