ChangeLog for SimGrid-java, before its integration into the main source tree.

SimGrid-java (3.9) stable; urgency=low

-- 2013-01-30 Da SimGrid team <simgrid-devel@lists.gforge.inria.fr>

SimGrid-java (3.8.1) stable; urgency=low

* New module: org.simgrid.trace.Trace (SimGrid trace bindings)

Warning: all methods are visible, but only some of them are

implemented so far. Check the source (src/jtrace.c)

for further information.

* New module: org.simgrid.msg.File (SimGrid File management functions)

* New Module: org.simgrid.msg.VM (SimGrid interface to mimick IAAS clouds)

* Change the meaning of Process.restart: now restart the process from

the begining, like MSG_process_restart in C.

* Add Process.setAutoRestart: handling of process restart when failed

host comes back.

* Add Process.getProperty, Host.getProperty, Host.getProperty: allows

you to retrieve the properties of the processes/hosts

* Deprecate Msg.clean(): you can just forget about it now.

* New function Process.getCount(), that only works when compiling

with the not yet released version 3.9 of the C library.

* New context factory based on Coroutines. It mandates a modified JVM

but then, the simulations run about five times faster, and there is

no limit to the amount of processes (beside of the available memory).

SimGrid-java (3.7.1) stable; urgency=low

The "Java aint got to be bloated and slow" release

Major cleanups:

* Various internal cleanups and performance improvement

Simulations are expected to run up to twice faster or so

* Make Process.kill(process) an instance method, not a static one

* User processes are not java.lang.Thread subclasses.

This breaks the compatibility (sorry), but previous API was

brain-dead, making it impossible to have non-trivial

initializations in the process constructor.

* Require a full constructor per Process sub-class.

Kinda breaks the compatibility (sorry), but this allows a much more

efficient way to launch the processes at simulation startup.

* Do not embeed our version of semaphores, java 1.5 can be considered

as sufficiently prevalent for us to not dupplicate its features.

* Lot of bug fixes

Extend the API:

* Add examples for almost every part of the API

We spotted and fixed a lot of bugs in the process

* New module: asynchronous communication API

* New function: Process.sleep()

It takes milliseconds as argument, just as java.lang.Thread.sleep()

* New module: org.simgrid.msg.Mutex (SimGrid mutexes)

* New module: org.simgrid.msg.RngStream (RngStreams random generators)

-- 2012-06-12 Da SimGrid team <simgrid-devel@lists.gforge.inria.fr>

SimGrid-java (1.0 (3.6) unstable; urgency=low

* Initial release.

* Split of every thing from simgrid v3.5 into a separate package.
