 S4U:
  - New class ActivitySet to ease wait_any()/test_any()/wait_all()
+   - Deprecate {Comm,Io,Exec}::{wait_any,wait_all,test_any} and friends
  - New function NetZone::add_route(host1, host2, links) when you don't need gateways
    Also add a variant with s4u::Link, when you don't want to specify the directions
    on symmetric routes.
+ - Introduce a Mailbox::get_async() with no payload parameter. You can use the new 
+   Comm::get_payload() once the communication is over to retrieve the payload.
 
 SMPI:
  - New SMPI_app_instance_join(): wait for the completion of a started MPI instance
+ - MPI_UNIVERSE_SIZE now initialized to the total amount of hosts in the platform
 
 Python:
  - Make the host_load plugin available from Python. See examples/python/plugin-host-load
+ - Mailbox::get_async() does not return a pair anymore. Use comm.get_payload() instead.
+ - Comm::waitall/waitany/testany() are gone. Please use ActivitySet() instead.
+ - Comm::waitallfor() is gone too. Its semantic was unclear on timeout anyway.
+ - Io::waitany() and waitanyfor() are gone. Please use ActivitySet() instead.
+
+C API:
+ - Introduce sg_activity_set_t and deprecate wait_all/wait_any/test_any for
+   Exec, Io and Comm.
+
+Plugins:
+ - Revamp the battery plugin: rewrite completely the API, for a better usability.
+   The examples were updated accordingly.
