-   - tracing API for MSG changes: TRACE_start has no
-     longer parameters, the trace file is supplied through
-     an option passed to simulator. Categories declaration
-     and utilization remain the same. The following options
-     are supported:
+   - Tracing API changes: TRACE_start and TRACE_end should not be called
+     by user-code. They are automatically called by simulators created
+     with SimDAG, MSG and SMPI if the toolkit is compiled with
+     tracing_enabled=ON. Categories declaration and utilization remain the
+     same for MSG and SimDag.
+   - A function was added to the tracing API to declare categories with
+     colors:
+        - TRACE_category_with_color (char *category, char *color)
+                where color must be in the following format
+                    "%f %f %f", red, green, blue
+                and red, green, blue are float values in the interval [0, 1]
+        - User can specify NULL as color parameter, or continue calling
+            TRACE_category (cat)
+          On that case, the tracing system will define random colors
+   - The following command-line options are supported:

         --cfg=tracing/filename:msg.trace
         --cfg=tracing/filename:msg.trace

+        --cfg=tracing:1               (activate tracing, needed to use others)
