  SMPI
- - Major C++ rewrite ongoing (SMPI used to be C compiled in C++). This can break codes that were using internals of SMPI (from private.h instead of the public smpi.h).
- - Bump our claim of support from MPI 1.1 to MPI 2.2. We don't support 100% of 
-   it, but it should be enough. Contact us if not.

  - MPI_Win_lock/unlock support added (as for all RMA, implementation is naive and probably inaccurate)
  - New algorithm for SMPI_SHARED_MALLOC: global, where all blocks are
-   mapped onto a unique file.
- - Bugfix : smpirun was sometimes misusing hostfile when wrongly terminated
- - Fortran : cleanups, fixes, support of user-added operations
- - RMA : MPI_Accumulate are applied in correct order, and 
-   MPI_Win_complete or MPI_Win_post shouldn't miss messages anymore.

-The Ever Green Release.
+The Spring Release: continuous integration servers become green.
 
- * Continuous integration tasks are green (no more transient errors)
- * S4U pushed further, integrating more parts of SimDag.
- * Start converting the SMPI internals to C++ too. TBC.
+ * S4U: progress, integrating more parts of SimDag; New examples.
+ * SMPI: Support MPI 2.2; Convert internals to C++ (TBC).
+ * Java: Massive memleaks and performance issues fixed.
  * Plus the usual bug fixes, cleanups and documentation improvements
