The committed docs/6.0.0.md (the 6.0.0 final release notes) still described the rc1 parallel runner. This folds in the two user-facing parallel changes made since then so the notes match shipped behavior:

  • Parametrized file containers now parallelize. New-PesterContainer -Path ... -Data @{...} runs in parallel with its -Data handed to each worker (Pass data to parallel runs #2803), so the "what falls back" list now correctly names only in-memory ScriptBlock containers instead of all Container inputs.
  • Wall-clock durations. A parallel run reports its total Duration as the orchestrator's measured elapsed time and leaves the per-phase run totals (user, framework, discovery) blank, since the files overlap; the per-phase breakdown stays on each container (Fix parallel run total durations #2807).

Docs-only change. The previously merged 7.4+ claim (#2811), corrected <...> description (#2812), and pipeline-unwrap hint (#2806) were already reflected.

- Parametrized file containers (New-PesterContainer -Path ... -Data @{...})
  now run in parallel, with their -Data handed to each worker, so only
  in-memory ScriptBlock containers fall back to the sequential path.
- A parallel run reports its total Duration as wall-clock elapsed time and
  leaves the per-phase run totals (user, framework, discovery) blank, since
  the files overlap; the per-phase breakdown stays on each container.

The intro reword this commit originally carried was superseded by #2813 on
main, which already dropped the release-candidate framing. Keep only the
thank-you pluralization, since there were multiple release candidates.
