+GNU Parallel 20116022 ('XXX') has been released. It is
 available for download at: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parallel/
 
-This is a major release. So far GNU Parallel has been focused on
-replacing a single for-loop. The Pakistan release introduces ways to
-replace nested loops.
-
-If you are using the {1} {2} syntax for multiple input sources, then you
-need to read about --xapply as the function has changed.
-
 New in this release:
 
-* Multiple ::: can be put on the command line and will be treated
+* Parallel processing without Hadoop!
-  similar to contents from multiple -a's.

-* ::: and :::: can now be mixed on the command line. Use {1} .. {n} to
+* Article in Linux Magazine (Spanish). Thanks to Ben Martin.
-  refer to inputs from the different input sources.
+  http://www.linux-magazine.es/issue/67/
-
-* --xapply is now needed to get xapply's behaviour of reading one line
-  from each of the input sources.
-
-* Multiple input sources will cause all combinations of arguments from
-  the sources to be generated. E.g. 'parallel echo {1}+{2} ::: 1 2 :::
-  a b c' will print 1+a 1+b 1+c 2+a 2+b 2+c. This can often replace
-  nested loops.
-
-* Implemented {//} for the input line with the basename removed (dirname).
-
-* New video showing the new ::: and :::: input sources.
