-SimGrid (2.92) NOT RELEASED YET; urgency=low
+SimGrid (2.95) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ MSG
+ * Implement MSG_get_msgload [MQ]
+
+ SURF
+ * Bugfix: Allow absolute paths for platform description files [MQ]
+
+ GRAS (new features)
+ * gras_datadesc_dynar() builds a dynar type descriptor, allowing to send
+ dynar over the network (yeah) [MQ]
+ * Real (even if simplistic) implementation of gras_os_myname() on RL [MQ]
+
+ GRAS (bug fixes)
+ * Differentiate the types "char[22]" and "unsigned char[22]" in automatic
+ type parsing. "short" and "long" modifiers were also ignored; other
+ modifier (such as reference level) are still ignored. [MQ]
+ * Embeed the buffer size within the buffer itself on SG. [MQ]
+ That way, send() are atomic and cannot get intermixed anymore (at least
+ the ones which are less than 100k; bigger messages still have the issue)
+ * Array size pushed by the field, not by the field type (or each
+ and every long int will push stuff to the cbps) [MQ]
+
+ GRAS (minor cleanups)
+ * <project>.Makefile.local (generated from gras_stub_generator) |MQ]:
+ - Do clean .o files
+ - Compile with -g
+ * Callbacks now receive the gras_datadesc_type_t they work on as argument.
+ * type category 'ignored' killed as it was never used and were difficult
+ to transmit.
+ * whether a type can cycle or not is now a flag, leaving room for more
+ flags (as "ignored", if we feel the need one day ;)

+SimGrid (2.94) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ The first release candidate for SimGrid 3 !
+
+ >>>Arnaud<<<
+ (documentation)
+ * Update the main page and the FAQ. Adding references to gforge.
+
+ (gras)
+ * Add a gras_os_getpid function.
+
+ (msg)
+ * Add MSG_task_get_compute_duration() and MSG_task_get_data_size()
+ * Extend the logs so that they also print PID, hostname, date, ... if
+ available.
+ * Convert the MSG example to the use of xbt_logs instead of PRINT_MESSAGE,
+ and kill the old version which were in testsuite/
+ * Rewrite tools/MSG_visualization/colorize.pl for using with logs instead
+ of PRINT_MESSAGE
+
+ (xbt)
+ * Add xbt_os_time(). As the rest of xbt/portability, this is not public
+ for users. Instead, each programming environment (GRAS, MSG,...) use it
+ when needed to provide such a feature to users.
+ Don't shortcut the mecanism or you will also shortcut the virtualization
+ you need on the simulator.
+
+ >>>Martin<<<
+ (infrastructure)
+ * Cleanups in configury with regard to compile optimization/warning flags.
+ Also add -fno-loop-optimize to any powerpc since it's the optimization
+ killing gcc (< 3.4.0).
+ * Doxygen cleanups: move MSG examples, kill the second Doxygen phase
+ needed by MSG examples complications
+ * Borrow configury beautifications from PHP
+
+ (xbt)
+ * Bugfix: XBT_LOG_NEW_DEFAULT_CATEGORY now compiles without compiler
+ warning (thanks loris for stumbling into this one).
+ * Bugfix: stop loading private headers (gras_config.h) from the public
+ ones (xbt/swag.h).
+
+ (gras)
+ * Change SIMGRID_INSTALL_PATH to GRAS_ROOT in Makefiles generated for user.
+ * Rename gras_get_my_fqdn to gras_os_myname and implement it in the simulator
+ RL would imply a DNS resolver, which is *hard* to do in a portable way
+ (and therefore delayed).
+ * Implement a real timer mecanism and use it in timing macros. This allows
+ to avoid rounding errors and get a 0.000005 sec precision in timing
+ macros. While I was at it, various cleanups:
+ - allow to declare more than one timed section per file (fix a stupid bug)
+ - move some private declaration to the right place
+ - merge conditional execution and timing macros into emulation module
+ - document the module
+ - make sure the module cleanups its mess on gras_exit
+ * Documentation improvements:
+ - (new) how to compile applications using GRAS
+ - (new) emulation support (timing macros)

+SimGrid (2.93) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ Alpha 4 on the path to SimGrid 3 (aka the "neuf-trois" version)
+
+ [Arnaud]
+ - Use Paje properly where used. Still to be sanitized properly.
+ - Portability fix: Add an implementation of the contexts using pthread
+
+ [Martin]
+ (misc)
+ - Add xbt_procname(): returns the name of the current process.
+ Use it to show the current process's name in all logging.
+ (infrastructure)
+ - fix detection of older flex version and the reaction, since we do
+ depend on modern ones (we use lex_destroy)
+ - Better separation of SG and RL in the libs: remove all simulation code
+ from libgras. As a result, this lib is now only 200k when stripped.
+ Some of the xbt modules may also be duplicated (two sets and such) and
+ should be cleaned/killed before SG3.
+ - Insist on using xlC on AIX because of weird problems involving gcc there.
+ - Cleanup the make remote stuff. This is now done by scripts
+ tools/graspe-{master,slave} (GRAS Platform Expender). This is still
+ mainly for our private use, but we're working on changing them to user
+ tools, too.
+ (gras)
+ - Bugfix: flush the socket on close only if there is some *output*.
+ - Bugfix: flush idempotent when there's nothing to send (don't send size=0)
+ (msg)
+ - Add MSG_task_get_name. The task names are mainly for debugging purpose,
+ but anyway.

Alpha 3 on the path to SimGrid 3

[Arnaud]
(gras)
- New! First try of benchmarking macros.
seconds were coded as such. It leaded to damn rounding errors.
- Bugfix: Hard to belive that timers ever worked before this.
