+ XBT:
+ * Our own implementation of getline is renamed xbt_getline, and gets
+   used even if the OS provide a getline(). This should reduce the
+   configuration complexity by using the same code on all platforms.
+ * new xbt_cfg_elm_boolean type
+
+ Java:
+ * Reintegrate Java to the main archive as desynchronizing these
+   package is not acceptable anymore (Java is now considered stable)
+ * Add explicit synchronization facilities through semaphores
+ * Bugfix: Task.setDataSize() only changed the C world, not the value
+   cached in the Java world
+
+ MSG:
+ * Dramatically change the way files are handled. API and internals changed, but
+   this part of MSG was not considered as production grade either.
+ * Add explicit synchronization facilities through semaphores
+
+ SMPI:
+ * SMPI is now included directly in the libsimgrid as the windows
+   linker dont forces us on splitting it anymore.
+ * Improvements of the SMPI replay tool:
+   - Most of the collective communications are now rooted in the same process as
+     in the original application.
+   - Traces now rely on the same MPI datatype as the application (MPI_BYTE was
+     used until now). Multiple datatypes can now be used in a trace.
+   - The replay tool now supports traces produce either by TAU or a modified
+     version of MPE.
+   - Bug Fix: the compute part of the reduce action is now taken into account.
+ * smpirun generates the hostfile if needed (with given hostcount and platform)
+
+ PLATFORM:
+ * Handle units for values (10ms, 10kiloflops, 10Bps, ...)
+ * Remove rule based routing (no more pcre dependency)

  The Grasgory release: GRAS is really dead now.
 
+ * Complete overhaul of the internal host structures scheme.
+
  GRAS:
  * If you use GRAS, you should stay at SimGrid 3.5 (at most) since it
    was considered as experimental and badly maintained since then.

+ SIMDAG:

  SURF:
  * Change the default value of the TCP_gamma constant (maximal size of TCP
    congestion window) to a more realistic 4MiB value. If you notice changes in
    your simulation results, you can fall back to the previous 20k tiny window
    by adding --cfg=network/TCP_gamma:20000 on command line.
