+
+ * Model-Checker progresses toward production use:
+   - More robust (now runs in a separate process).
+   - More efficient (with snapshots' memory compaction).
+   - More usable (execution paths replayed out of MC)
+   http://simgrid.org/tutorials/simgrid-mc-101.pdf
+
+ * SMPI improvements:
+   - Better standard coverage  - SMP-aware collectives
+   - InfiniBand model          - Early support for RMA

+Upcoming v3.13 will introduce new interfaces, toward SimGrid 4.
 
- * Surf internal cleanup: rename workstation into host.
-   Option "workstation/model" now reads "host/model"
- * The model checker now runs in a separate process.
- * The model checker has support for memory compaction of its snapshots.
- * MC record/replay: a interesting path found by the modelchecker can be
-   replayed outside of the modelchecker.
