The Grasgory release: GRAS is really dead now.
GRAS:
- * If you use GRAS, you should stay at SimGrid 3.7 or something since
- it was not really maintained with the latest versions of SimGrid as
- nobody stepped in to take the maintainership over.
+ * If you use GRAS, you should stay at SimGrid 3.5 (at most) since it
+ was considered as experimental and badly maintained since then.
* Keeping it was thus a trap to our potential users, that could take
- it instead of MSG or SMPI by mistake. GRAS also induces a lot of XBT
- code (for portability sake), that must be maintained too.
+ it instead of MSG or SMPI by mistake despite is pity state.
+ * GRAS seems to have very few users (if any), and no one volunteered
+ to maintain it further. It also induces a lot of XBT code (for
+ portability sake), that must be maintained too.
* For all these reasons, we killed GRAS. If someone wants to revive it
in the future, don't cry, our git history still remembers of GRAS.
* New function: MSG_process_get_number()
SURF:
- * Change the default value of the TCP_gamma constant (maximal size of TCP
- congestion window) to a more realistic 4MiB value. If you notice changes in
- your simulation results, you can fall back to the previous 20k tiny window
+ * Change the default value of the TCP_gamma constant (maximal size of TCP
+ congestion window) to a more realistic 4MiB value. If you notice changes in
+ your simulation results, you can fall back to the previous 20k tiny window
by adding --cfg=network/TCP_gamma:20000 on command line.
XBT:
* Kill synchronized dynars, and xbt_dynar_dopar(). We cannot think of a
usecase where it's really mandatory, and maintaining it was a pain in
- our codebase.
+ our codebase.
* New: xbt_fifo_search(), search an item with a user-provided
comparison function instead of dumb pointer comparison.
