+
+At least, after 2 years of hard work, we managed to release the 3.3
+version of the SimGrid framework. There is so many changes that the
+changelog only lists the most important ones, leaving alone the small
+improvements, bug fixing and new gadgets.
+
+In short:
+ * Java bindings
+ * New simulation models, and improvement of the GTNetS wrapper
+
+ * Large memory savings (mainly in parser)
+ * Faster (twice faster is not uncommon, and from 20 hours to 2
+ minutes on very large scenarios)
+ * Much better scalability (tested up to 250,000 processes)
+
+ * Complete regression testing framework so that you can trust the tool
+ * Lot of neat new modules in the XBT toolbox
+
+This version was thoroughly tested on linux 32bits and 64bits
+(debian), as well as Mac OSX (leopard).
+
+Unfortunately, our windows-guy left, and we cannot release the windows
+version at the same time than the other archs. Any help would be
+really welcomed here.
+
+Some of the 96 included test suites are known to fail, but everything
+should work anyway (don't panic):
+ * The amok module does not work in real deployment ATM, but I don't
+ see this as release critical since I'm not aware of anyone needing
+ this right now
+ * Some tests about the ability of GRAS to receive messages from
+ exotic platforms fail because I've lost access to these platforms
+ (such as AIX)
+ * the example/gras/pmm sometimes fails (about 1/10 of cases). I'm
+ quite puzzled, but I suspect a bug in the test, not in the lib.
+ * the tesh auto-tests "fail" on Mac OSX. This is because "rm -rf" is
+ sometimes too verbose (when the OS creates hidden files, I
+ suspect), but tesh definitely work as the rest on this arch.
+
+We hope to manage to do more timely releases in the future, even if
+that may turn out difficult since big stuff is coming (I don't say
+much here for the suspense ;)
+
+We hope you'll enjoy this new version, and please report any feedback
+on the <simgrid-user@lists.gforge.inria.fr> list.
