    It was not really working anyway.
  - Support for 32bits architecture is not tested anymore on our CI infrastructure.
    It may break in the future, but we think that nobody's using SimGrid on 32 bits.
+ - Remove the surf module. It was replaced by the kernel/models module, and that 
+   refactoring took almost 10 years to properly complete.
 
 S4U:
  - Activity::set_remaining() is not public anymore. Use for example
    Comm::set_payload_size() to change the size of the simulated data.
  - New function: Engine::flatify_platform(), to get a fully detailed vision of the
    configured platform.
+ - Full simDAG integration: Activity::start() actually starts only when all dependencies
+   are fullfiled. If it cannot be started right away, it will start as soon as it becomes
+   possible.
 
 Kernel:
- - optimize an internal datastructure, leading to a potentially big
-   performance gain (in particular with many detached comms)
+ - optimize an internal datastructure (use a set instead of a list for ongoing activities),
+   leading to a potentially big performance gain, in particular with many detached comms.
 
 MPI:
  - New option smpi/barrier-collectives to add a barrier to some collectives
    to detect dangerous code that /may/ work on some MPI implems.
+ - New function SMPI_app_instance_start() to easily start a MPI instance in your S4U simulation.
 
 Models:
  - Write the section of the manual about models, at least.
@@ -36,9 +42,24 @@ Models:
  - Allow to disable the TCP windowing modeling by setting network/TCP-gamma to 0.
  - Finally kill the 'compound' host model. You can change the CPU or network model
    with the default host model, as it should.
+ - Rename option "surf/precision" to "precision/timing" for clarity.
+ - Rename option "maxmin/precision" to "precision/work-amount" for clarity.
+ - New function: Engine::flatify_platform() to debug your platform.
 
 sthread:
  - Implement pthread_join in MC mode.
+ - Implement semaphore functions in sthread.
+ - Add an intricated way to verify the access to non-reentrant data structures
+   It requires code annotation, as shown in examples/sthread/stdobject/stdobject.cpp
+
+Model checking:
+ - Synchronize the MBI tests with upstream.
+ - Show the full actor bactraces when replaying a MC trace (with model-check/replay)
+   and the status of all actors on deadlocks in MC mode.
+
+XBT:
+ - simgrid::xbt::cmdline and simgrid::xbt::binary_name are gone.
+   Please use simgrid::s4u::Engine::get_cmdline() instead.
 
 Documentation:
  - New section in the user guide on the provided performance models.
