  The "SimGrid makes psssshiiiit and jumps into the cloud" release.
 
- CMAKE:
+ Cmake:
  * Remove option custom_flags. Now use environment variables CFLAGS
    and LDFLAGS.
  * Enable tracing by default. This modules rocks you should use it.
+ * Use default cmake things to detect lua instead of home grown ones.
+ 
+ Documentation:
+ * Split the doc into a user guide and a reference guide.
 
  MSG:
  * Add an experimental interface to manipulate VMs. They are mainly
    process groups with very few intrinsic semantic, but they should
    allow you to build the semantic you want easily.
  * New function: MSG_host_set_property_value()
+ * Deprecate functions MSG_global_init() / MSG_global_init_args()
+   Please use MSG_init() instead. (reducing the amount of entry 
+   points in the library helps us).
+ * Make it impossible to link against the wrong version of the lib
+ * Bug fixes that made the host (and link) failures unusable.
 
  Simix:
  * Bug fixes around the resource failures: don't let the processes
    survive the host they are running onto
 
  SimDag:
- * New type of typed tasks SD_TASK_COMP_PAR_AMDAHL that represents a

    parallel task whose initial work is distributed among host according
    to the Amdahl's law. Such tasks are created with a parameter alpha
