Dear GAP Forum,
This is to announce the release of GAP 4.8.9, which can be downloaded from
http://www.gap-system.org/Releases/
The core part of the GAP system in this release is identical to the
one from the GAP 4.8.8 release; however, this release contains
updated versions of 56 packages from GAP 4.8.8 distribution:

We encourage all users to upgrade to GAP 4.8.9.
Just in case, a common pitfall during GAP installation on
Linux and macOS is to compile only the GAP kernel, but not
the packages. This procedure had changed less than a year
ago (in GAP 4.8.4), so let me remind you that after running
./configure
make
in the GAP root directory you need to change to the 'pkg'
subdirectory and call
../bin/BuildPackages.sh
to run the script which will build most of the packages that
require compilation (provided sufficiently many libraries,
headers and tools are available).
If you need any help or would like to report any problems,
please do not hesitate to contact us at supp...@gap-system.org,
or submit new issues on GitHub:
https://github.com/gap-system/gap/issues
There is also a 'gap' tag for questions about GAP at the
Mathematics Q&A site:
http://math.stackexchange.com/tags/gap/info
In addition, you may find some GAP related news on Twitter:

Wishing you fun and success using GAP,
Alexander Konovalov
on behalf of the GAP Group
