@@ -8,4 +8,15 @@ For example, if ``CTEST_PARALLEL_LEVEL`` is set to 8, CTest will run
up to 8 tests concurrently as if ``ctest`` were invoked with the
:option:`--parallel 8 <ctest --parallel>` option.
+.. versionchanged:: 3.29
+
+ The value may be empty, or ``0``, to let ctest use a default level of
+ parallelism, or unbounded parallelism, respectively, as documented by
+ the :option:`ctest --parallel` option.
+
+ On Windows, environment variables cannot be set to an empty string.
+ CTest will interpret a whitespace-only string as empty.
+
+ In CMake 3.28 and earlier, an empty or ``0`` value was equivalent to ``1``.

See :manual:`ctest(1)` for more information on parallel test execution.
