The "Desktop Grid needs love too" release.
+ Models improvements:
+ * Major speedup in the maxmin system solving by using lazy evaluation
+ Instead of solving completely the maxmin system at each iteration,
+ only invalidate (and recompute) the modified parts.
+ This new feature is enabled in default models but you can try to
+ turn it on with "--cfg:maxmin-selective-update=1" for other models.
+ * Cas01 IMproved as default CPU model
+ This CPU model is the same Cas01 model, but it uses the
+ maxmin-selective-update flag and a heap structure to manage
+ actions on SURF kernel.
+ It reduces the complexity to find the next action to finish and,
+ consequently, it's faster than the old Cas01.
+ This is the new default CPU model (Cas01).
+ * Rename the old Cas01 model to Cas01_fullupdate
+ Keep the old cpu model Cas01 with the new name of Cas01_fullupdate.
+ Use "--cfg=cpu_model:Cas01_fullupdate" to use the old default CPU model.
+ * CpuTI (CPU Trace Integration)
+ A new CPU model whose objective is simulate faster when using
+ availability trace files.
+ Instead of using a full featured, over engineered maxmin system for
+ CPU modeling, this model does the pre-integration of traces files
+ to calculate the amount of CPU power available, and so, executes
+ faster than the old CPU models.
+ Use "--cfg=cpu_model:CpuTI" to change to this CPU model.
* Use LV08 as default network model since it gives better accuracy
for small messages and shouldn't change things for big ones.
Use --cfg=network_model:CM02 to get the previous behavior.
- * Fix a major regresion from 3.2 where the timeout provided to

+ ******************************************
+ *DO NOT MIX 3.3.4 RESULTS WITH OLDER ONES*
+ ******************************************
+ * The new CPU model may changes simulations!
+ The point is that events occurring at the exact same timestamp
+ are not scheduled in the same order with the old and new
+ version. This may be enough to completely change the execution
+ of simulations in some cases.
+ * The new network model will change simulations!
+ This new model is more realistic than the previous one, so you
+ should consider redoing your old experiments with this model.
+ Sorry for the inconvenience.
+
+ MSG:
+ * Port of MSG's mailbox on top of SIMIX network
+ The put/get mechanism was greatly simplified thanks to the new SIMIX module.
+
+ SIMIX:
+ * New SIMIX network module
+ It provides a rendez-vous point (aka mailbox) based send/recv API to perform
+ synchronous communication.
+
+ SimDag:
+ * new function SD_daxload(char*) to load a DAX file
+ (see http://vtcpc.isi.edu/pegasus/index.php/WorkflowGenerator)
+ * Introduce typed tasks. Specify its kind and cost at creation.
+ At scheduling, just give where it should be placed, and the cost
+ for each involved resource is automatically computed.
+ Existing constructors so far (more to come of course):
+ - SD_task_create_comm_e2e() for end-to-end communication
+ - SD_task_create_comp_seq() for sequential computation
+ Use SD_task_schedulev() / SD_task_schedulel() to schedule them.
+ * new function SD_task_dump() for debuging display
+ * new function SD_task_dotty(task,FILE*) writing to file the info
+ about the task in dotty format
+ * SD_task_dependency_exists() can now cope with having one of its
+ arguments NULL. If so, it tests whether the other argument has any
+ dependency.
+ * Add getters on list of preceding/following tasks:
+ SD_task_get_parents(task) and SD_task_get_children(task)
+ * Add getters on amount of workstations and list:
+ SD_task_get_workstation_count(t) and SD_task_get_workstation_list(t)
+
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ * GTNetS wrappers should now be usable again (and betterly tested too)
+ * Fix a major regression from 3.2 where the timeout provided to
MSG_task_put_with_timeout() was used as absolute time before which
the comm should be done.
* Fix a source-level compatibility glitch from 3.2: after defining
MSG_USE_DEPRECATED, you can use the old name
MSG_task_put_with_time_out() for MSG_task_put_with_timeout()
* Allow to compile from the SVN with automake 1.11
+ * Fix some problems when using the "start_time" tag in deployment XMLs.
