I'm not online as I write this email, so I can't double-check everything, 
but last I knew, the plan was to have the new parallel universe in 6.7.9 
(the next 6.7.x release). If something goes/went wrong, then it may be in 
6.7.10.

That said, the new parallel universe is different from the old MPI 
universe, and there may be little or not documentation initially. It's not 
too hard to use, but you will need the documentation.

Hopefully we will get some documentation online quickly, but feel free to 
email condor-admin@xxxxxxxxxxx to request preliminary documentation. If 
there is enough demand, we can probably post something to condor-users as well.

My understanding is that the new parallel universe supports the latest 
version of MPICH. It has been tested on Unix with:

* mpich 1.2.6
* mpich 1.2.4
* lam 7.1.1
* lam 6.5.9

Chances are good that it will work with MPICH 1.2.5.
