SimGrid (3.29.1) NOT RELEASED YET (v3.30 expected December 21. 2021, 15:59 UTC)
Main user-visible changes:
- - The SimDag API for the simulation of the scheduling of Directed Acyclic
- Graphs has been dropped. It was marked as deprecated for a couple of years.
- We finally complete the implementation of what has been called SimDag++
- internally, i.e., porting the different features of SimDag on top of S4U.
- The new way to simulate the execution of dependent activities directly by
- maestro (without any other actor) is details in the examples/cpp/dag-* series
- of examples.
- - The removal of SimDag led us to also remove the export to Jedule files that
- was tightly coupled to SimDag. The instrumentation of DAG simulation is still
- possible through the regular instrumentation API based on the Paje format.

S4U:
+ - Introduce on_X_cb() functions for all signals, to attach a new
+ callback to the signal X. The signal variables are now hidden and
+ only these functions should be used.
+ Rationale: this enables the usual deprecation schema where functions
+ remain for 4 releases if we need to modify the signals, while the
+ current code with the signal variables directly visible prevents any
+ smooth transition.
- New function: Engine::run_until(date), to split the simulation.
- New signal: Activity::on_veto, to detect when an activity fails to start.
- New function: Engine::track_vetoed_activities() to interrupt run()
when an activity fails to start, and to keep track of such activities.

SMPI:
- Dynamic costs for MPI operations: New API to allow users to dynamically
- change injected costs for MPI_Recv, MPI_Send and MPI_Isend operations.
- Alternative for smpi/or, smpi/os and smpi/ois configuration options.

Documentation:
- New section: "SimGrid MPI calibration of a Grid5000 cluster"
Fixed bugs (FG#.. -> FramaGit bugs; FG!.. -> FG merge requests)
(FG: issues on Framagit; GF: issues on GForge; GH: issues on GitHub)
+ - FG#95: Wrong computation time for multicore execution after pstate change
+ - FG#97: Wrong computation time for ptask+multicore+pstates
- FG#99: Weird segfault when not sealing an host
