C++ vs. C. + + Our goal is to smooth this transition, with backward compatibility + and automatic update paths, while still progressing toward SimGrid4. + + SimGrid remains open during works: The last pure SimGrid3 release was + v3.12 while all subsequent versions are usable alpha versions of + SimGrid4: Existing interfaces remain unchanged, but the new S4U + interface is budding and the internals are deeply reorganized. + + Since 2015, we work hard to reduce the changes to public APIs. When + we need to rename a public library symbol in S4U, we let your + compiler issue an explicative warning when you use the deprecated + function. These messages remain for four releases, i.e. for one full + year, before turning into an error. Starting with v3.15, your can + also adapt to API changes with the SIMGRID_VERSION macro, that is + defined to 31500 for v3.15, to 31901 for v3.19.1 and so on. + + Starting with this v3.19.1, our commitment to reduce the changes to + the public interfaces is extended from the API to the ABI: a program + using only MSG or SimDag and compiled against a given version of + simgrid can probably be used with a later version of SimGrid without + recompilation. We will do our best... but don't expect too much of + it, that's a really difficult goal during such profund refactoring. + + The difference between v3.19 and v3.19.1 is that the former was + accidentally breaking the ABI of MSG, while the later is restoring + the previous ABI. + + S4U and kernel APIs will still evolve until SimGrid4, with one-year + deprecation warnings as currently. In fact, cleaning up these + interfaces and converting them to snake_case() is one release goal of + v3.20. But don't worry, we are working to smooth this upgrade path. + + In summary, new projects should start with S4U to benefit of the + future, but old MSG projects should still be usable with no change. + +---------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +SimGrid (3.19) Released March 20 2018 + + The Moscovitly-cold Spring release. + + SMPI user-visible improvements: + - Support of MPI_Type_create_subarray + - Unimplemented MPI calls now abort (instead of issuing a warning) + Some harmless calls around errhandlers still only issue a warning. + - MPI_Sendrecv was behaving badly when MPI_PROC_NULL was sender or receiver. + - Starting MPI ranks (or even MSG/S4U actors) once the simulation started + is now possible (mmap privatization was refactored to this end). + Adding new SMPI instances should also be technically doable now. + + SMPI internal cleanups: + - Removed index notion from SMPI -- no more "getPid() - 1"! + In tracing files, actors are called rank- but these are + NOT the real ranks (tracing several communicators is not supported yet). + - Deprecate smpi_process_index() (will be removed in 3.22) + - Better testing on classical proxy apps, through an external project: + https://github.com/simgrid/SMPI-proxy-apps/ Documentation - Use a graphical TOC to make it easier to find the documentation you need - Revamp the MSG tutorial + MSG + - Fix MSG_task_get_remaining_work_ratio(): return 1.0 for unstarted tasks. + - Remove parameter of MSG_process_killall(). + Resetting the PID was bogus anyway (several actors could have the same PID). + S4U - - Execution->setHost() can be called after start() to migrate it. + - Execution->setHost() can be called after start(), to migrate it. - Comm::test_any() is now implemented. - s4u::Actor now has onCreation() and onDestruction() signals. - - XBT - - Remove XBT_LOG_CONNECT, it should be useless nowadays. + - Install some kernel header files for the users' plugins and more. + Warning, their API is really not stable yet. + include/simgrid/kernel/resource/{Action,Resource,Model}.hpp + include/simgrid/kernel/routing/*Zone.hpp SimDag - SD_task_dependency_add(): remove unused parameters 'name' and 'data'. - SMPI - - The privatization of global variables via mmap() is now significantly more - flexible and allows the use of daemons with SMPI and to add new processes - while the simulation is running.
