The :option:`-r` option also now reports the seed that was used
(Added by Collin Winter.)
+* The :file:`regrtest.py` script now takes a :option:`-j` switch
+ that takes an integer specifying how many tests run in parallel. This
+ allows to shorten the total runtime on multi-core machines.
+ This option is compatible with several other options, including the
+ :option:`-R` switch which is known to produce long runtimes.
+ (Added by Antoine Pitrou, :issue:`6152`.)
