* We sanitized the way configuration is handled internally.
Try passing --cfg-help to binaries compiled against this version.

It may be worth trying it (even if all bugs are not gone yet)
fixed in a latter release.

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.
+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 throughfully tested on linux 32bits and 64bits
-(debian), as well as Mac OSX (leopard).
+(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
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
+ 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 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 definitly 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 comming (I don't say
much here for the suspense ;)
