+ * Allow to change SimGrid configuration (see --help) within the code
+ thanks to SD_config() as it can be done in MSG.
+ * Add a new function SD_task_set_amount() upon user request.
+
+ PLATFORM:
+ * Handle units for values (10ms, 10kiloflops, 10Bps, 1GB, ...)
+ * Remove rule based routing (no more PCRE dependency)
+ * Add a limiter_link option to cluster tag, to specify a maximum reachable
+ bandwidth in fullduplex mode when it is less than twice the nominal bandwidth.
+ * Add a loopback_bw and loopback_lat options to cluster tag.
+ * Fix the peer tag that could not be mixed with other AS within a Vivaldi
+ routing. Now peers are encapsulated in an AS and have their own private
+ router but this is transparent.
+
+ XBT:
+ * Our own implementation of getline is renamed xbt_getline, and gets
+ used even if the OS provide a getline(). This should reduce the
+ configuration complexity by using the same code on all platforms.
+ * New type: xbt_cfg_elm_boolean.
+ * Allow to use yes/no for boolean configuration options in the command line.
+ * Allow to disable SimGrid cleanups at exit from command line option.
+ There are situations where one may want a simulation to end with an exit.
+ Unfortunately, calling exit may cause SimGrid to segfault, which is quite
+ annoying when scripting around the simulator. Adding a
+ --cfg=clean_atexit:no allows to circumvent this issue.
+
+ Build System:
+ * Lots of memory leaks were corrected in this release.
+ * New command line option --version, to get SimGrid version information.
+ Packagers may want to add extra words to SIMGRID_VERSION_EXTRA defined in
+ CMakeLists.txt.
+ * Supernovae builds are deprecated, and expected to be removed in the next
+ version of SimGrid.

+SimGrid (3.9) stable; urgency=low
+
+ The Grasgory release: GRAS is really dead now.
+
+ * Complete overhaul of the internal host structures scheme.
+
+ GRAS:
+ * 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 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.
+
+ Documentation:
+ * Major overhaul. Merge our documentation again as time proved that
+ splitting it was really not helping our users.
+ * Further improve the developer documentation to help newcomers
+ hacking on SimGrid itself. The user documentation (and in
+ particular, the beginner documentation) is still in a sorry state.
+
+ SMPI:
+ * Now works on Windows too!
+ * Much more extensive test suite, from MPICH
+
+ SIMDAG:
+ * Add a new loader (SD_PTG_dotload) that creates a parallel task graph
+ (i.e., a DAG whose nodes are parallel tasks) from a dot file. Creates a
+ dynar of SD_TASK_COMP_PAR_AMDAHL and SD_TASK_COMM_MXN_1D_BLOCK tasks.
+ * Bug fix: let task be scheduled when the last dependency to be solved is
+ a control dependency.
+ * Remove SD_load_environment_script function.
+ Use the C sg_platf function if you want to declare a platform
+ programmatically.
+
+ MSG:
+ * New function: MSG_process_get_number()
+ * Old function documented: MSG_config()
+ * Remove MSG_load_platform_script function
+ Use the C sg_platf function if you want to declare a platform
+ programmatically.
+
+ 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
+ by adding --cfg=network/TCP_gamma:20000 on command line.
+ * (Hopefully) fix a bug wrt periodic availability and state traces
+ * Bug fix: use default values at start when first event in availability/state
+ trace is not at time 0.
+
+ PLATFORM:
+ * remove the "new_" part of function name sg_platf_new_trace_connect
+ (resulting in sg_platf_trace_connect), since it does not create
+ anything new
+
+ XBT:
+ * Kill synchronized dynars, and xbt_dynar_dopar(). We cannot think of a
+ use case where it's really mandatory, and maintaining it was a pain in
+ our code base.
+ * New: xbt_fifo_search(), search an item with a user-provided
+ comparison function instead of dumb pointer comparison.
+
+ LUA:
+ * Fix the lua deployment:
+ Use `simgrid.init_application()` before deployment instead of
+ `simgrid.msg_register_application()` after.
+
+ TRACING:
+ * Transfer the tracing files into the corresponding modules.

+SimGrid (3.8.1) stable; urgency=low
+
+ The "we are told that some people want to also *install* the simgrid
+ framework" release.
+
+ * Add missing file "tesh.1" to the archive.

+
+SimGrid (3.8) stable; urgency=low
+
+ The Psssshiiiit release: SimGrid jumps into the Cloud.
+
+ MSG:
+ * Add an experimental interface to manipulate VMs. They are mainly
+ process groups with very few intrinsic semantic, but they should
+ allow you to build the semantic you want easily.
+ * New function: MSG_host_set_property_value()
+ * New function: MSG_process_on_exit(). To clean memory in all cases.
+ * Bug fixes that made the host (and link) failures unusable.
+ * Add a way to auto-restart process when the host in which they are
+ executing comes back (ON_FAILURE="RESTART" on deployment file,
+ MSG_process_auto_restart_set).
+ * Use the "msg_" prefix for all datatypes (instead of m_, msg_ and MSG_),
+ please stop using the old ones, they are DEPRECATED.
+
+ * Deprecate functions MSG_global_init() / MSG_global_init_args()
+ Please use MSG_init() instead. (reducing the amount of entry
+ points in the library helps us).
+ * Make it impossible to link against the wrong version of the lib
+ * Deprecate MSG_clean(). No need to call it anymore.
+ * Function MSG_get_host_number() is not deprecated anymore.
+
+ Documentation:
+ * Split the doc into a user guide and a reference guide.
+ * Start a developper guide to help people hacking on SimGrid.
+
+ Cmake:
+ * Enable tracing by default. This modules rocks you should use it.
+ * Remove option custom_flags. Now use environment variables CFLAGS
+ and LDFLAGS.
+ * Use default cmake things to detect lua instead of home grown ones.
+ * New option "enable_mallocators" to disable mallocators, for debugging
+ purpose ("on" by default).
+
+ Simix:
+ * Bug fixes around the resource failures: don't let the processes
+ survive the host they are running onto.
+ * Add an interface to auto-restart processes when the host in which they are
+ executing comes back.
+ * Ensures that SIMIX_clean is called automatically. It's not part of
+ the public interface anymore (bindings should be updated).
+
+ SimDag:
+ * Bug fix for when SD_Simulate is called with a positive value: be careful
+ when comparing doubles. Sometimes they are different for non significant
+ digits only.
+ * New types of typed tasks. SD_TASK_COMP_PAR_AMDAHL represents a
