+The Clean Diaper Release, a.k.a. SimGrid is leak-free. Major changes:
+
+ * Preliminary DVFS support to track the energy consumption
+ * Java is back in the main package (and is very stable).
+ * The storage sub-modules is now believed to be usable.
+ * SMPI is now very stable (we pass most MPICH tests).
+ * Lots of memory leaks were corrected in this release.
+ * Verification and model checking further improved:
+ liveness+SMPI works; reduction through state equality detection
+ Plus the usual load of bug fixes and small improvements

Major changes are:
* New feature: Model check any simgrid simulation
- * SMPI: now considered stable
+ * SMPI is now very usable.
* Visualization:
- now covers the whole framework
- major usability improvements
* SURF:
- - scalable platform management through hiearchical description
+ - scalable platform management through hierarchical description
- new efficient way to bypass the XML parser
* MSG: at last asynchronous functions are available
* SIMDAG: many usability improvements (dotloader, ...)
Most important changes:
* surf and simix modules reworked for simplification.
It lays the ground for future extensions and improvements of SimGrid
- * SMPI was further improved, altrough not ready for production use yet.
+ * SMPI was further improved, although not ready for production use yet.
On the way, we gained a bit more than 5% on the classical master/slave
example. More to come on this in future releases.

* We fixed a large amount of bugs all around

Unfortunately, our windows-guy left, and we cannot release the windows
