 SimGrid (3.28.1) NOT RELEASED YET (v3.29 expected September 22. 2021, 19:21 UTC)
 
+New features:
+ - Non-linear resource sharing: allows to dynamically change the resource
+   capacity. Users can change this capacity by setting a callback which will
+   be called when SimGrid is sharing the resource between the active
+   activities. An activity can be a task running, a read/write IO operation or a
+   communication flow.
+   - Callback signature: double (double capacity, int n_activities): given the
+     current resource's capacity and number of activities running on it,
+     returns the new capacity.
+   - Note that this callback is in the critical path of the system solve and
+   should not take long to execute.
+   - Examples:
+     - Disk: examples/cpp/io-degradation
+     - Link: examples/cpp/network-nonlinear
+     - CPU: examples/cpp/exec-cpu-nonlinear
+ - Dynamic factors for CPU and disk: similarly to dynamic network factors,
+   allows the user to set a callback which can affect the progress of activities
+   (multiplicative factor applied when updating the amount of work remaining).
+   - Example: examples/cpp/exec-cpu-factors
 
+Python:
+ - Added support to programmatic platform creation in Python.
+ - Several new methods were added to Python interface. For more details, see
+ the corresponding documentation.
+ - New python examples:
+   - Clusters: examples/python/clusters-multicpu
+   - Disk: examples/python/io-degradation
+   - CPU: examples/python/exec-cpu-nonlienar
+   - Link: examples/python/network-nonlinear
 
+S4U:
+ - New: s4u::Disk::set_sharing_policy() and s4u::Host::set_sharing_policy().
+   Allows the configuration of non-linear resource sharing for hosts and
+   disks.
 
+SMPI:
+ - TI Tracing/Replay:
+     - Multiple fixes to ensure reproducibility of tracing
+     - scan/excan can now be replayed
+     - wait action now uses ranks and not pid, as the other ones.
+     - smpi/init and smpi/finalization-barrier are now valid for replays.
 
+Documentation:
+  * New section "Release Notes" documenting recent and current developments.
+  * New section "Modeling I/O: the realistic way" presenting how to properly
+  model disks in SimGrid.
+  * Improvements in API Reference for C++ and Python interfaces.
+
+ns-3 model:
+ - Make wifi creation compatible with ns-3 version 3.34 too.
+
+Fixed bugs (FG#.. -> FramaGit bugs; FG!.. -> FG merge requests)
+ (FG: issues on Framagit; GF: issues on GForge; GH: issues on GitHub)
+ - FG#78: Multiple fixes for SMPI replay:
+    - TI tracing of allotallv/w was outputting wrong values
+    - MPI_LOGICAL in fortran is actually 32 bits wide, and not 8.
+ - FG#77: Search feature of doc is broken (update sphinx theme version)
