+
+ * JAVA BINDINGS for MSG (you dreamt of them? We made them)
+ [Malek Cherier & Mt]
+
+ * Introduce the SIMIX module: factorize code between MSG and GRAS.
+ [Bruno Donassolo]
+
+ Until now, GRAS were using MSG as an interface to SURF. It was
+ quite difficult because both interface have several differences
+ (MSG channels vs GRAS sockets were the most notable point).
+
+ This also opens the gate to SMPI (which should occur soon) and speed
+ up simulations by to 40% (even if it were not the main goal).
+
+ **************************************
+ *DO NOT MIX 3.2 RESULTS WITH 3.3 ONES* Simix may changes simulations!
+ **************************************
+ The point is that events occuring at the exact same timestamp are
+ not scheduled in the same order with the old and new version. This
+ may be enough to completely change the execution of simulations in
+ some cases. Sorry for the inconvenience.
+
+ * Cleanup and upgrade the XML format to push further scalability
+ issues (check http://hal.inria.fr/inria-00256883/ for more info)
+
+ * Improve the testing infrastructure with tesh. Now a very large part of
+ the code is tested not only by being run but also by checking that the
+ output match an expected output [Mt].
+
+ * Move on to FleXML v1.7 for the embeeded XML parsers. This version
+ is really less memory-demanding, which should allow you to use
+ larger files in SimGrid [AL].
+
+ * Inform valgrind about our contextes, so that it becomes usable
+ with the default (and more effecient) version of SimGrid
+ [contributed by Sékou Diakite, many thanks]
+
+ GRAS:
+ * Introduce a listener thread in charge of receiving incomming
+ messages from the network. It allows to overlap communication and
+ computation but most notably, it removes some stupid deadlocks due
+ to the fact that so far, a process could not send and receive at
+ the same time. This made most non trivial communication schema
+ impossible.
+ * Convert the PIDs from long int to int to match the MSG ones (and
+ linux ones too) [Mt]
+ * New function: gras_agent_spawn() to launch a new process on
+ current host. Only working in simulation for now. [Mt]
+ * New function: gras_os_hostport() returning a constant form (ie,
+ not needing to be freed) of "gras_os_hostname():gras_os_myport()"
