+SimGrid (3.16) UNRELEASED
+
+ Portability status:
+ - FreeBSD: Disable SMPI mmap privatization, switch automatically to dlopen.
+ - Mac, BSD: dlopen+thread broken, switch automatically to raw contexts.
+
+ XML platforms: Switch to platform v4.1 format.
+ * This is (mainly) a backward compatible change: v4 are valid v4.1 files
+ - <zone> can be used as a synonym for the now deprecated <as>
+ - <zoneZoute> an be used as a synonym for the now deprecated <asroute>
+ - <bypassZoneRoute> an be used as a synonym for the now deprecated <bypassAsRoute>
+ - <actor> can be used as a synonym for the now deprecated <process>
+ - 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
+ - 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:
+ SD_simulate_with_update (double how_long, xbt_dynar_t changed_tasks_dynar)
+ When one wants to get the list of tasks whose states have changed during a
+ 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.
+
+ MSG
+ - The netzone are now available from the MSG API.
+ The old names still work, but are now deprecated.
+
+ SMPI
+ - New algorithm to privatize globals: dlopen, with dynamic loading tricks
+ - New option: smpi/keep-temps to not cleanup temp files
+ - Support for sparse privatized malloc with SMPI_PARTIAL_SHARED_MALLOC()
+
+ XBT
+ - Replay: New function xbt_replay_action_get():
+ 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.

SimGrid (3.15) stable; urgency=low
The Spring Release: continuous integration servers become green
This can break codes using SMPI internals (from private.h instead of the public smpi.h).
- Bump our claim of support from MPI 1.1 to MPI 2.2.
We don't support 100% of it, but it should be enough. Contact us if not.
- - MPI_Win_lock/unlock support added (as for all RMA, implementation is naive and probably inaccurate)
+ - MPI_Win_lock/unlock, MPI_Get_accumulate support added (as for all RMA, implementation is
+ naive and probably inaccurate)
- New algorithm for SMPI_SHARED_MALLOC: global, where all blocks are
mapped onto a unique small file using some system magic.
- Bugfix: smpirun was sometimes misusing hostfile when wrongly terminated
- A <cluster> can now be created with different speed values to represent pstates.
see examples/platforms/energy_cluster.xml for an example.
