Hi Olaf,
are you referring for parallel to a 3.0.5 version ?

The current 3.0.4 on cygwin does not build completely,

$ ls *oct
__exit__.oct  fload.oct  fsave.oct

Due to some issue with configure.

I tried with the latest repository and something breaks
when building documentation:

./munge-texi.pl MFDOCSTRINGS pconnect.cc.docstrings 
pserver.cc.docstrings sclose.cc.docstrings reval.cc.docstrings 
precv.cc.docstrings psend.cc.docstrings select_sockets.cc.docstrings 
network_get_info.cc.docstrings network_set.cc.docstrings 
parallel_generate_srp_data.cc.docstrings fload.cc.docstrings 
fsave.cc.docstrings __exit__.cc.docstrings select.cc.docstrings 
__visglobal__.cc.docstrings < ../doc/parallel.txi > ../doc/parallel.texi

invalid doc file format

No clue which of the file is not recognized.

Marco
