- 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 xbt_cfg_elm_boolean type
- * 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:yes allows to circumvent this issue.
+ TENTATIVE RELEASE GOALS for 3.11:
+ * Consider the removal of Supernovae mode if no user has manifested since the
+   release of version 3.10.
+ * Switch to tesh.pl, and kill the now unused parts of xbt that seem fragile
+ * Switch to surf++, and reintegrate the hypervisor branch on top of it
