Portability status:
- FreeBSD: Disable SMPI mmap privatization, switch automatically to dlopen.
- Mac, BSD: dlopen+thread broken, switch automatically to raw contexts.
+ - Java JAR file should be finally fully working on Mac OSX too.
XML platforms: Switch to platform v4.1 format.
- * This is a backward compatible change: v4 are valid v4.1 files
+ * This is (mainly) a backward compatible change: v4 are valid v4.1 files
- <zone> can be used as a synonym for the now deprecated <as>
- <zoneZoute> an be used as a synonym for the now deprecated <asroute>
- <bypassZoneRoute> an be used as a synonym for the now deprecated <bypassAsRoute>
- <actor> can be used as a synonym for the now deprecated <process>
+ - state_file and avail_file periodicity is now easier to express
+ (check the documentation) the old behavior should still work.
+ * Storage: not backward compatible, but it seems that nobody ever used it
+ - Remove attribute 'content_type' of <storage_type>: was never used
+ - Make attribute 'model' of <storage_type> optional: for future usage
+ - Remove Bconnection model property: was never (in)validated. Replaced by
+ the maximum of the read and write bandwidth as a resource constraint.

SD_simulate_with_update (double how_long, xbt_dynar_t changed_tasks_dynar)
When one wants to get the list of tasks whose states have changed during a
- simulation round, s/he has to allocate and free a dynar and use it as argument
- to this function. The former SD_simulate (double how_long) now returns void.

+ Virtual Machines
+ - Allow multicore VMs, along with the correct sharing computations
MSG
- - The netzone are now available from the MSG API.

The old names still work, but are now deprecated.
SMPI
- New algorithm to privatize globals: dlopen, with dynamic loading tricks
- New option: smpi/keep-temps to not cleanup temp files
+ - Support for sparse privatized malloc with SMPI_PARTIAL_SHARED_MALLOC()
- XBT/Replay:
- - New function xbt_replay_action_get():
+ XBT
+ - Replay: New function xbt_replay_action_get():
Retrieve the function previously associated to an event type.
+ - DROPPED FUNCTION: xbt_str_varsubst()
+ - DROPPED MODULE: strbuff. We don't need it anymore.
+ - DROPPED MODULE: matrix. We don't need it anymore.
