+The "Desktop Grid needs love too" release (also called "Xmas release").
+Most important changes:
+ * Big speedup through lazy evaluation of the linear models
+ * Supernovae mode: Compile everything in one unit to improve inlining
+ * Simix network module for internal cleanups
+ * Load DAX of applications into SimDag
+ * Lot of small cleanups and other bug fixes

+Big speedup through some function inlining.

+The "Simplicity does not preceed complexity, but follows it" release.
+Most important changes:
+ * surf and simix modules reworked for simplification.
+   It lays the ground for future extensions and improvements of SimGrid
+ * SMPI was further improved, altrough not ready for production use yet.
+
+On the way, we gained a bit more than 5% on the classical master/slave
+example. More to come on this in future releases.

+
+
+This dot release is mainly a maintainance one. Most important changes:
+ * We fixed a large amount of bugs all around
+ 
+ * We sanitized the way configuration is handled internally.
+   Try passing --cfg-help to binaries compiled against this version.
+   
+ * SMPI is in better shape: lot of bugs fixing & usability improvements
+   It may be worth trying it (even if all bugs are not gone yet)
+
+This version may have a bit more of memleaks than 3.3. This will be
+fixed in a latter release.
