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 (mainly) a backward compatible change: v4 are valid v4.1 files
- 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
+ - 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.
SimDag
- New and Backwards Compatibility break:
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.
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.
