Thanks for the update. I installed the files in
macros/latex/contrib/parallel
Please note that this is a new location; the old one in
macros/latex/contrib/supported/parallel
is no longer correct.
(The CTAN Team announced last week that the "supported" and "other"
directory will be deleted and everything moved up one level.)

parallel – Typeset parallel texts
Provides a parallel environment which allows two potentially different texts to be typeset in two columns, while maintaining alignment. The two columns may be on the same page, or on facing pages.
This arrangement of text is commonly used when typesetting translations, but it can have value when comparing any two texts.
