-SimGrid (3.10-rc1) unstable; urgency=low
+SimGrid (3.11) NOT RELEASED; urgency=low
+
+ TENTATIVE RELEASE GOALS for 3.11:
+ * Switch to tesh.pl, and kill the now unused parts of xbt that seem fragile
+ * Clean up CMake files (may need a full rewrite).
+ Non exhaustive list of subgoals:
+ - Use genuine cmake mechanisms and variables when available,
+ instead of reinventing the wheel.
+ - Correctly determine system and architecture (e.g. x32).
+ - Correctly determine compiler type and version (e.g. clang).
+ - Correctly set compiler flags according to compiler type and version.
+ - Correctly set compiler flags for C++, Java, and Fortran compilers too.
+ - Use git to generate the dist archive. Either use git-archive to
+ generate the tarball, or keep using cmake -E tar, but use git-ls-files
+ to get the list of files to pack.
+
+ The Class Release.
+
+ Tools:
+ * Normalizing pointers addresses tool for better diff between logs
+
+ Examples:
+ * Add cloud examples using new VMs
+ - examples/msg/cloud/two_tasks_vm.tesh
+ - examples/msg/cloud/simple_vm.tesh
+ - examples/java/cloud/cloud.tesh
+ - examples/java/cloud/migration/migration.tesh
+ * Add java surf examples:
+ - examples/java/surfPlugin/surf_plugin.tesh
+ - examples/java/reservationSurfPlugin/reservation_surf_plugin.tes
+ - examples/java/surfCpuModel/surf_cpu_model.tesh
+
+ TeshSuite:
+ * Add tests:
+ - msg process test
+ - msg task destroy cancel test
+ - msg_host on/off test
+ * Move all tests in testsuite to teshsuite (adding tesh files)
+ * Restructure teshsuites
+ - one folder for each kind of test
+ * Restructure AddTests.cmake
+ - unify tests names
+ - structure the order of tests (with sections)
+
+ MSG:
+ * Add virtual machine
+ - creation of a VM on a PM
+ - migration of a VM from a PM to another PM
+ * New function
+ - MSG_process_join(msg_process_t process, double timeout)
+ * New option "msg/debug_multiple_use" to help debuging when a task is used
+ several times
+
+ SIMIX:
+ * Protect context stacks against stack overflow. The number of protected memory
+ pages allocated on the top of each stack (1 by default) can be configured
+ with the new command line option --cfg=contexts/guard_size:<value>.
+ * Simcalls are now generated by a python script that
+ - generates files included by SimGrid
+ - checks that all the functions exist, and proposes prototypes
+ * Clean simcalls
+ - remove sem_destroy, file_set_data, comm_destroy, vm_set_state,
+ host_set_data, host_get_data
+ * New simcalls
+ - simcall_process_join(smx_process_t process, double timeout)
+
+ SURF:
+ * Translate surf models from C to C++
+ - Generic classes for all models: Model, Resource, Action
+ - A generic interface for each kind of model (cpu, network, storage
+ workstation, workstationvm)
+ - C bindings
+ * Translate surf routings from C to C++
+ * Add callbacks using sigc++ or boost::signals2
+ - Add callback functions for resource creation/destruction
+ - Add callback functions for action state change
+ - Handle Energy as a plugin
+ * Replace swag by boost::intrusive
+ * Add new routing model for torus clusters
+ * More documentation
+
+ SMPI:
+ * hostfiles support host:nb_processes construct to deploy several processes on
+ one node
+ * Collective communication algorithms should not crash if used with
+ improper number of nodes and report the error.
+
+ TRACING:
+ * options defined in xml work
+
+ Java:
+ * New cmake option, enable_lib_in_jar, to control whether native libraries are
+ copied into simgrid.jar or not (ON by default). Use this option if you want
+ to reduce the size of the installed simgrid.jar, *and* the native libraries
+ are kept installed elsewhere.
+ * Surf binding with SWIG (code generated in maintainer mode only):
+ - plugin to handle callbacks
+ - cpu model only for the moment
+
+ Build System:
+ * Supernovae build mode is definitively removed. It was used to improve
+ inlining and inter-module optimizations. It is nowadays superseded by
+ link-time optimizations commonly available in compilers.
+ * Update ns-3 find lib. Bindings for ns-3 should work again now.
+ * Add boost dependency for surf++
+ * Add new macro for tests
+ - ADD_TESH(name <tesh_args>)
+ - ADD_TESH_FACTORIES(name "thread;ucontext;raw" <tesh_args>)

* smpirun generates the host file if needed (with given host count and platform)
* Integration of more than 100 STAR-MPI, MPICH, OpenMPI collective algorithms
Build System:
* Lots of memory leaks were corrected in this release.
+ There is no known memory leaks anymore, in all of our 600+ tests.
* 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.
