+SimGrid (3.7) NOT RELEASED; urgency=low
+
+ Models:
+ * Use the partial invalidation optimization by default for the
+ network too. Should produce the exact same results, only faster.
+
+ SimDag:
+ * Performance boost by using a swag internally to compute the set of
+ tasks that are finished and should constitute the return value of
+ SD_simulate.

+SimGrid (3.6.2) stable; urgency=low
+
+ The "Not coding new stuff allows to polish old things" release.
+
+ General
+ * New bindings to the NS3 packet level simulator (experimental)
+ * Use the raw (efficient) execution contextes instead of the sysv
+ (portable) ones when possible.
+ * libpcre is now mandatory in any cases since not using it led to
+ severe performance loss and possibly other issues
+ * Update the XML platforms:
+ - G5K: include the lastest machine in Nancy
+ - GridPP and LCG: new platforms
+ * Documentation was partially updated, at least (more to come)
+
+ Bug fixes, cosmetics and small improvements
+ * Free terminated processes before the end of the simulation to avoid
+ exhausting the memory of users having very dynamic amount of
+ processes.
+ * Bug fix and cosmetics about canceling non-running tasks
+ * Bug fix about the dot loader's issues when using libcgraph
+
+ Portability
+ * Create an installer for windows with nsis (amd64 and win32)
+ - Add an hello world project to illustrate simgrid project creation.
+ - Embed libpcre into the Simgrid installer to avoid
+ its compilation burden
+ * The raw execution contextes should work on Apple now
+ * Port to Windows 64 bits
+ - Sysv contextes now have an implementation for this arch
+ - GRAS communication features now support this arch
+ * Drop support for borland compiler on windows
+ - this code was not maintained, and we kinda depend on gcc nowadays
+ * Fix portability issues on kfreebsd/gnu: build error about semaphores
+ * Fix portability issue on unstable ubuntu: linker became picky on
+ argument order

+SimGrid (3.6.1) stable; urgency=low
+
+ The "Oops, we broke Macs too" release
+
+ Portability
+ * Fixed contextes detection so that raw ones are used when possible
+ * On Mac, do not use Posix Ucontextes with gcc v4.[1-5] since this
+ leads to a strange error, with user code segfaulting sometimes when
+ the generated code is not perfectly aligned (which is not
+ controlable from the user side, depends on the amount of code)
+
+ XBT
+ * New macro: CATCH_ANONYMOUS, which is like CATCH(e) but without argument.

+
+SimGrid (3.6) stable; urgency=medium
+
+ The Summer Release, also known as the "OMG! They Killed Kenny!" version
+
+ Java and Ruby:
+ * Bindings now constitute their own package, separated from the main one.
+ Rationale: reduce our maintainance nightmare by reducing the module coupling
+ They will soon be released on their own on gforge.
+ * In the meanwhile:
+ svn co svn://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/simgrid/contrib/trunk/simgrid-java
+ svn co svn://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/simgrid/contrib/trunk/simgrid-ruby
+
+ GRAS: It is not considered as stable anymore, but experimental. Sorry.
+ * It's not quite deprecated for now because we have no replacement,
+ but it may soon become the case.
+
+ SMPI
+ * New MPI functions supported: MPI_Comm_disconnect, MPI_Comm_get_name
+ * Fortran: New user-level cache variable to store the rank of the running
+ process. This improves performance by an order of magnitude.
+ * C: New coccinelle script to automatically locate and modifiy global and
+ local static variables.
+ * Improved SMPI network model with a sender-side gap to account for multiple
+ parallel sends.
+
+ MSG
+ * New function MSG_comm_get_status(). MSG_comm_test() and MSG_comm_testany()
+ only say if a communication is finished, no matter whether it succeeded or
+ failed. You can call MSG_comm_get_status() to know the status of a finished
+ communication.
+ * New function MSG_task_dsend() to send a task and detach it. When a
+ communication is detached, you are never notified of its success or failure
+ and the memory is released automatically once it is finished. This function
+ is useful when you don't care about the end nor the success of a
+ communication.
+ * Change the prototypes of action replay. Sorry for inconvenience,
+ but this is really more efficient this way (and to adapt your code,
+ you just have to fix the initialization, that shouldn't be too long)
+ * Kill the braindead MSG_task_refcount_dec() function. I guess nobody
+ ever managed to do anything useful with it.
+ * New function MSG_comm_testany(). Similarly to MSG_comm_waitany(), it
+ takes a dynar of communications. It returns immediately and gives the
+ index of a finished communication (if any).
+ * New example: a basic implementation of the Chord P2P algorithm.
