GNU Parallel 20210322 ('2002-01-06') [stable] has been released.

No new functionality was introduced so this is a good candidate for a stable release.

An easy way to support GNU Parallel is to tip on LBRY.

Please help spreading GNU Parallel by making a testimonial video like Juan Sierra Pons: http://www.elsotanillo.net/wp-content/uploads/GnuParallel_JuanSierraPons.mp4

It does not have to be as detailed as Juan's. It is perfectly fine if you just say your name, and what field you are using GNU Parallel for.

News about GNU Parallel:

• The very first version of Parallel dated 2002-01-06 was found in an old backup:

  #!/usr/bin/perl
  
  $processes=shift;
  
  chomp(@jobs=<>);
  for (@jobs) {
    $jobnr++;
    push @makefile,
    (".PHONY : job$jobnr\n",
     "job$jobnr :\n",
     "\t$_\n");
  }
  unshift @makefile, "all : ",(map { "job$_ " } 1 .. $jobnr),"\n";
  
  open (MAKE, "| make -k -f - -j $processes") || die;
  print MAKE @makefile;
  close MAKE;
