SimGrid (3.6) unstable; urgency=low
+ MSG
+ * Change the prototypes of action replay. Sorry for inconvenience,
+ but this is really more efficient this way (and to adapt your code,
+ you just have to fix the initialization, that shouldn't be too long)
+ * Kill the braindead MSG_task_refcount_dec() function. I guess nobody
+ ever managed to do anything useful with it.
+
SURF
* New model for multi-core CPUs. You can now use the core attribute to
precise the number of cores of a host. This is a basic model. Every
Simix
* Completely rewrote this module to allow parallel execution.
+ * Introduce a new context factory "raw", highly inspirated from the
+ context factory, but using manually crafted functions in assembly to
+ do the work in an efficient manner.
+ * Allow to change the used context factory at run time, not only at
+ compilation time. Use --cfg=simix/context:raw for maximal speed.
XBT
* Add a new function xbt_dynar_to_array that transforms a dynar into a
NULL-terminated array. This may solve backward compatibility issues
due to the change to return type of SD_Simulate. See also:
http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/pipermail/simgrid-user/2010-December/002206.html
+ * Add new logging macros, with variable number of arguments. Define
+ XBT_USE_DEPRECATED if you want to use the old macros INFO1, INFO2, etc.
INSTR
* New configuration options
TRACE_category or TRACE_category_with_color, it is up to you
* links in the trace file are again identified by their names
* trace contains the full platform hierarchy exactly as declared using the ASes
+ * Options tracing/msg/[task|process]:1 groups the process by hosts
+ for both cases, tasks and processes must have names that are unique during the simulation
+ these options generate traces that are suited to gantt-charts, such as the space-time view of Paje
+ * The experimental option tracing/msg/volume is deprecated
+ its functionality may be reincorporated if needed
+
+ Build Infrastructure
+ * Define a SIMGRID_VERSION macro in simgrid_config.h.
+ - We are trying hard to keep the API stable, but it may happen that
+ some things change (we're a research project after all, not a
+ nuclear plant operating system). If such things should happen, you
+ could rely on that macro to adapt.
+ - current value: 30600 for 3.06.00, aka 3.6
