-SimGrid (2.94-cvs) UNRELEASED
+SimGrid (2.95) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  XBT
+  * Steal some nice code to GNU pth to fix context detection and usage [AL]
+  * Cleanup in the xbt_config API; add configuration callbacks. [MQ]
+  * Cleanup in the initialization API: the unused "defaultlog" is dead. [MQ]
+
+  MSG
+  * Implement MSG_get_msgload [MQ, AL]
+
+  SURF
+  * Bugfix: Allow absolute paths for platform description files [MQ]
+  * Bugfix: do free the variables after use. Leads to drastic performance 
+    improvement [AL] 
+
+  GRAS (new features)
+  * Implement measurement sockets. You can now get the bandwidth between two
+    hosts thanks to AMOK (see below). [MQ]
+  * gras_datadesc_dynar() builds a dynar type descriptor, allowing to send
+    dynar over the network (yeah) [MQ]
+  * Real (even if simplistic) implementation of gras_os_myname() on RL [MQ]
+  * simple/static token-ring example. [Alexandre Colucci and MQ]
+  
+  GRAS (bug fixes)
+  * Differentiate the types "char[22]" and "unsigned char[22]" in automatic
+    type parsing. "short" and "long" modifiers were also ignored; other
+    modifier (such as reference level) are still ignored. [MQ] 
+  * Embeed the buffer size within the buffer itself on SG. [MQ]
+    That way, send() are atomic and cannot get intermixed anymore (at least
+    the ones which are less than 100k; bigger messages still have the issue)
+  * Array size pushed by the field, not by the field type (or each
+    and every long int will push stuff to the cbps) [MQ]
+  * use select() to sleep since it allows to portably sleep less than one
+    second. [MQ]
+
+  GRAS (minor cleanups)
+  * <project>.Makefile.local (generated from gras_stub_generator) |MQ]:
+    - Do clean .o files
+    - Compile with -g
+  * Type Callbacks now receive the gras_datadesc_type_t they work on as argument.
+  * type category 'ignored' killed as it was never used and were difficult
+    to transmit.
+  * whether a type can cycle or not is now a flag, leaving room for more
+    flags (as "ignored", if we feel the need one day ;)
+  * Rename raw sockets to measurement sockets since "raw" has another
+    meaning in networking community. 
+  
+  AMOK 
+  * Advanced Metacomputing Overlay Kit introduction. It is based over GRAS
+    and offers features not belonging to GRAS but that most applications
+    need. One day, it may be a set of plugins loadable at runtime.
+  * New module: bandwidth 
+    bandwidth measurement between arbitrary nodes running this module. [MQ]

   * Change SIMGRID_INSTALL_PATH to GRAS_ROOT in Makefiles generated for user.
   * Rename gras_get_my_fqdn to gras_os_myname and implement it in the simulator
     RL would imply a DNS resolver, which is *hard* to do in a portable way
     (and therefore delayed).

+  * Implement a real timer mecanism and use it in timing macros. This allows
+    to avoid rounding errors and get a 0.000005 sec precision in timing
+    macros. While I was at it, various cleanups:
+     - allow to declare more than one timed section per file (fix a stupid bug)
+     - move some private declaration to the right place
+     - merge conditional execution and timing macros into emulation module
+     - document the module
+     - make sure the module cleanups its mess on gras_exit
+  * Documentation improvements:
+     - (new) how to compile applications using GRAS
+     - (new) emulation support (timing macros)
