-SimGrid-java (1.2 (3.7.1) ) stable; urgency=low
-  
-  The "Java aint got to be bloated and slow" release
-
- * Introduce org.simgrid.msg.Mutex, exporting simgrid mutex to Java.
- * Introduce org.simgrid.msg.RngStream, exporting RngStreams to Java. 
- * Add the asynchronous API to the bindings.
+SimGrid-java (3.8.1) unstable; urgency=low
 
- * Make Process.kill(process) an instance method, not a static one
- * Add examples for almost every part of the API
+ * New module: org.simgrid.trace.Trace (SimGrid trace bindings)
+   Warning: all methods are visible, but only some of them are 
+   implemented so far. Check the source (src/jtrace.c)
+   for further information.
+ * New module: org.simgrid.msg.File (SimGrid File management functions)
+ * New Module: org.simgrid.msg.VM (SimGrid interface to mimick IAAS clouds)
+ * Change the meaning of Process.restart: now restart the process from
+   the begining, like MSG_process_restart in C.
+ * Add Process.setAutoRestart: handling of process restart when failed
+   host comes back. 
+ * Add Process.getProperty, Host.getProperty, Host.getProperty: allows
+   you to retrieve the properties of the processes/hosts
+ * Deprecate Msg.clean(): you can just forget about it now.
+ * New function Process.getCount(), that only works when compiling
+   with the not yet released version 3.9 of the C library.
+ 
+ * New context factory based on Coroutines. It mandates a modified JVM
+   but then, the simulations run about five times faster, and there is
+   no limit to the amount of processes (beside of the available memory).
 
- * Add "sleep" in Process with Thread-like syntax/use.
+ -- 2012-12-04 Da SimGrid team <simgrid-devel@lists.gforge.inria.fr>
 
- * Change the way Process are created: Process are no longer a Thread subclass.
- * Change the way the Process are created in ApplicationHandler: a full 
-constructor is now needed for your child classes.
+SimGrid-java (3.7.1) stable; urgency=low
+  
+ The "Java aint got to be bloated and slow" release
  
- * Improve the performances
- * Fix a lot of bugs.
+ Major cleanups:
+ * Various internal cleanups and performance improvement
+   Simulations are expected to run up to twice faster or so
+ * Make Process.kill(process) an instance method, not a static one
+ * User processes are not java.lang.Thread subclasses. 
+   This breaks the compatibility (sorry), but previous API was
+   brain-dead, making it impossible to have non-trivial
+   initializations in the process constructor. 
+ * Require a full constructor per Process sub-class.
+   Kinda breaks the compatibility (sorry), but this allows a much more
+   efficient way to launch the processes at simulation startup.
  * Do not embeed our version of semaphores, java 1.5 can be considered
    as sufficiently prevalent for us to not dupplicate its features.
+ * Lot of bug fixes
+ 
+ Extend the API:
+ * Add examples for almost every part of the API
+   We spotted and fixed a lot of bugs in the process
+ 
+ * New module: asynchronous communication API
+ * New function: Process.sleep()
+   It takes milliseconds as argument, just as java.lang.Thread.sleep()
+ * New module: org.simgrid.msg.Mutex (SimGrid mutexes)
+ * New module: org.simgrid.msg.RngStream (RngStreams random generators)
