GNU Parallel 20150109alpha has been released. It is available for download at: http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/parallel/
To make remote execution send stderr to stderr a major change has been implemented in remote execution. If you use GNU Parallel for remote execution (--sshlogin) then please test this alpha release. As always it passes the testsuite, so most functionality clearly works. New in this release: * Remote jobs now sends stderr (standard error) to stderr (standard error) instead of stdout (standard output). * Remote execution is now packed using hex encoded bzip2. That means that big environments (app. 250 KB) can be transferred. This change makes remote execution alpha quality. * Bash's second fix of shellshock cause --env to break again when exporting functions. This has been fixed again. * --semaphoretimeout now takes a negative value. This means give up if the semaphore is not gotten within the timeout. * --halt -1 and -2 now means halt if a job succeeds (so the opposite of 1 and 2). * A semibig refactoring of big functions. All non-trivial functions are now less than 100 lines. The refactoring makes this release beta quality. * GNU Parallel was cited in: Parallel post-processing with MPI-Bash http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2691137 * GNU Parallel was cited in: Distinguishing cause from effect using observational data: methods and benchmarks http://arxiv-web3.library.cornell.edu/pdf/1412.3773.pdf * GNU Parallel was cited in: Bayesian Inference of Protein Structure from Chemical Shift Data https://peerj.com/preprints/692.pdf * GNU Parallel: Open Source For You (OSFY) magazine, October 2013 edition http://www.shakthimaan.com/posts/2014/11/27/gnu-parallel/news.html * Multithreaded Encryption and Compression http://www.krazyworks.com/multithreaded-encryption-and-compression/ * GNU Parallel on OSX and Linux https://darknightelf.wordpress.com/2015/01/01/gnu-parallel-on-osx/ * How to build gnu parallel from source on Ubuntu PC? http://blog.ovidiuparvu.com/build-gnu-parallel-source-ubuntu-pc/ * From SRA Project to FastQ http://danielecook.com/sra-project-fastq/ * コマンドを並列に実行するGNU parallelがとても便利 http://bicycle1885.hatenablog.com/entry/2014/08/10/143612 * Bug fixes and man page updates.
