+ version 0.0.4
+ - Get it working with any kind of structure (we can compute the padding
+ bytes remotely for all the architectures I have access to)
+ - Implement the structure parsing macro (still not quite robust/complete)
+ - Improvement to the remote testing toysuite
+

+ [autoconf mecanism]
+ - get ride of a bunch of deprecated macros
+ - actually run the test for two-compliment, not only compile it :-/
+ - test whether the structures get packed (and bail out if yes. Damn.
+ Alignment is a serious matter)
+ - test whether the structures get compacted (but respecting the alignment
+ constraints of each types)
+ - test whether the array fields of structures can straddle alignment boundaries
+ [base]
+ - Damnit, double are bigger than float (typo in creation of 'double' datadesc)
+ (took me 2 hours to find that bug, looking at the wrong place)
+ - Add gras_datadesc_declare_{union,struct}_close(). They must be used
+ before sending/receiving and are used to compute the offsets of fields
+ - Given that padding size depend even on compiler options, keep track of
+ alignment and aligned_size only for the current architecture. Not a big
+ deal since we send structure fields one after the other (seems
+ reasonable).
+ - Add the datastructure used for IEEE paper by the PBIO guys to the test
+ program, let it work on linux/gcc/little32. portability todo.
+
+2004-07-08 Martin Quinson
+ - import and improve remote compilation support from FAST
+ - make sure make check works on half a dozen of machines out there

2004-07-07 Martin Quinson
- Let's say it's version 0.0.2 ;)
+ Let's say it's version 0.0.3 ;)
- Implement conversions (yuhu!)
- Let it work on solaris (beside conversion, of course)
- Stupid me, using rand() to generate the conversion datatests in not wise.
