+ * New function: MSG_load_platform_script()
+ to make possible using a lua script instead of XML files to set up platforms
+ * New function: MSG_set_function
+ to associate functions to processes, used when bypassing the parser
+ Lua Bindings
+ * add layer to set up environment and bypass the XML surf parser
+ * modify the entry point, to take into consideration when lua is used only as a platform generator
+ SURF
+ * add new callbacks to the CPU & netwok models to create resources
+ no need to pass through the parser callbacks to do so.
+ * add new function to create routes table via the routing model
+ * add generic functions in the public interface
+ that allows the user to call SURF 'create_resource' methods from a lua script.
+ SIMIX :
+ * New function: SIMIX_process_set_function()
+ called by MSG_set_function
+ SimDag
+ * Change the way a task is considered as ready. Instead of removing
+ dependencies when a task is done, a counter is decreased. This way,
+ it is always possible to reach ancestors thanks to the
+ SD_taks_get_parents function (even after the end of the simulation.)
+ * Change the level of some logs in sd_global from INFO to VERB. The
+ corresponding tests are now less verbose
+ * Change the return type of SD_Simulate from (SD_task_t*) into
+ xbt_dynar_t. This function was in handling a dynar internally and
+ converted it into a NULL terminated array for historical reasons.
+ * Rename the SD_READY (all dependencies are satisfied and task is
+ scheduled) state in SD_RUNNABLE and define a new SD_SCHEDULABLE (all
+ dependencies are satisfied) state.
+ This prevents a confusion between the notion of "ready to schedule"
+ (SD_SCHEDULABLE) used in DAG scheduling and that of "ready to be
+ simulated" (SD_RUNNABLE) used by the simulation kernel.
+ * Add an example that scheduling a DAX on an heterogeneous platform
+ using a Min-Min strategy
+ * new function SD_dotload(char*) to load a DAG described in dot
+ format. This loader and the corresponding examples require the
+ installation of the graphviz library.

+ SIMIX
+ * Change the underlying waiting queue in semaphores so that a process
+ can wait on several of them simultaneously (as in waitany).
+ * Fix the way to handle tokens in semaphores so that all access patterns
+ work: {acquire, acquire_timeout, waitany} / {release, release_forever}.
