GNU Parallel 20160101alpha has been released. It is available for download at: http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/parallel/
I would appreciate if people tried out the new features and walked through the tutorial to see if something is missing or broken. New in this release: * --sql DBURL uses DBURL as storage for jobs and output. It does not run any jobs so it requires at least one --sqlworker. DBURL must point to a table. * --sqlworker DBURL gets jobs from DBURL and stores the result back to DBURL. * --sqlandworker is a shorthand for --sql and --sqlworker. * --sqlworker requires the output of a single job to fit in memory. * --results now also saves a file called 'seq' containing the sequence number. * If $PARALLEL_ENV is a file, then that file will be read into $PARALLEL_ENV. * man parallel_tutorial has been given an overhaul. * Bug fixes and man page updates. GNU Parallel - For people who live life in the parallel lane. /Ole
