+
+ XBT:
+ * Our own implementation of getline is renamed xbt_getline, and gets
+ used even if the OS provide a getline(). This should reduce the
+ configuration complexity by using the same code on all platforms.
+
+ Java:
+ * Reintegrate Java to the main archive as desynchronizing these
+ package is not acceptable anymore (Java is now considered stable)
+ * Bugfix: Task.setDataSize() only changed the C world, not the value
+ cached in the Java world
+
+ SMPI:
+ * Improvements for the SMPI replay tool:
+ - For most of the collective communications we can know exactly
+ which rank is the root one.
+ - Now we can include in the traces the real used MPI datatype
+ (till know we were using the MPI_BYTE). Also we can have multiple
+ datatypes in the traces.
+ - The tool supports both time-independent traces from the TAU and the
+ modified MPE tools.
+ - Fix the Reduce action, as there was no information about computation
+ load.

+SimGrid (3.9) stable; urgency=low
The Grasgory release: GRAS is really dead now.
+ * Complete overhaul of the internal host structures scheme.
+
GRAS:
- * If you use GRAS, you should stay at SimGrid 3.7 or something since
- it was not really maintained with the latest versions of SimGrid as
- nobody stepped in to take the maintainership over.
+ * If you use GRAS, you should stay at SimGrid 3.5 (at most) since it
+ was considered as experimental and badly maintained since then.
* Keeping it was thus a trap to our potential users, that could take
- it instead of MSG or SMPI by mistake. GRAS also induces a lot of XBT
- code (for portability sake), that must be maintained too.
+ it instead of MSG or SMPI by mistake despite is pity state.
+ * GRAS seems to have very few users (if any), and no one volunteered
+ to maintain it further. It also induces a lot of XBT code (for
+ portability sake), that must be maintained too.
* For all these reasons, we killed GRAS. If someone wants to revive it
in the future, don't cry, our git history still remembers of GRAS.
+ Documentation:
+ * Major overhaul. Merge our documentation again as time proved that
+ splitting it was really not helping our users.
+ * Further improve the developer documentation to help newcomers
+ hacking on SimGrid itself. The user documentation (and in
+ particular, the beginner documentation) is still in a sorry state.
+
SMPI:
* Now works on Windows too!
* Much more extensive test suite, from MPICH
+ SIMDAG:
+ * Add a new loader (SD_PTG_dotload) that creates a parallel task graph
+ (i.e., a DAG whose nodes are parallel tasks) from a dot file. Creates a
+ dynar of SD_TASK_COMP_PAR_AMDAHL and SD_TASK_COMM_MXN_1D_BLOCK tasks.
+ * Bug fix: let task be scheduled when the last dependency to be solved is
+ a control dependency.
+ * Remove SD_load_environment_script function.
+ Use the C sg_platf function if you want to declare a platform
+ programmatically.
+
MSG:
* New function: MSG_process_get_number()
+ * Old function documented: MSG_config()
+ * Remove MSG_load_platform_script function
+ Use the C sg_platf function if you want to declare a platform
+ programmatically.
SURF:
- * Change the default value of the TCP_gamma constant (maximal size of TCP
- congestion window) to a more realistic 4MiB value. If you notice changes in
- your simulation results, you can fall back to the previous 20k tiny window
+ * Change the default value of the TCP_gamma constant (maximal size of TCP
+ congestion window) to a more realistic 4MiB value. If you notice changes in
+ your simulation results, you can fall back to the previous 20k tiny window
by adding --cfg=network/TCP_gamma:20000 on command line.
+ * (Hopefully) fix a bug wrt periodic availability and state traces
+ * Bug fix: use default values at start when first event in availability/state
+ trace is not at time 0.
+
+ PLATFORM:
+ * remove the "new_" part of function name sg_platf_new_trace_connect
+ (resulting in sg_platf_trace_connect), since it does not create
+ anything new
XBT:
* Kill synchronized dynars, and xbt_dynar_dopar(). We cannot think of a
- usecase where it's really mandatory, and maintaining it was a pain in
- our codebase.
+ use case where it's really mandatory, and maintaining it was a pain in
+ our code base.
* New: xbt_fifo_search(), search an item with a user-provided
comparison function instead of dumb pointer comparison.

+ LUA:
+ * Fix the lua deployment:
+ Use `simgrid.init_application()` before deployment instead of
+ `simgrid.msg_register_application()` after.
+
+ TRACING:
+ * Transfer the tracing files into the corresponding modules.
