Dear Forum Members, It is my pleasure to announce the officially accepted (since its version 1.4.1, released 31/03/2018) FinInG package for the GAP system. This version of the FinInG package is available in the newly released GAP 4.9.2.
The name FinInG stands for "Finite Incidence Geometry", the main area of application for this package. As the package documentation says, FinInG "provides users with the basic tools to work in various areas of finite geometry from the realms of projective spaces to the flat lands of generalised polygons". The FinInG package has been around for a while. First it was an undeposited package available only from its own webpage. In February 2016, Fining 1.3.3 appeared in GAP 4.8.2 distribution. Now it has successfully passed the refereeing process (see https://www.gap-system.org/Contacts/submit.html#refereeing) and obtained the "accepted" status. The FinInG package is authored by John Bamberg, Anton Betten, Jan De Beule, Philippe Cara, Michel Lavrauw and Max Neunhoeffer, and on behalf of the GAP Council, I thank them for this contribution to GAP. Best regards, Alexander Konovalov _______________________________________________ Forum mailing list Forum@gap-system.org https://mail.gap-system.org/mailman/listinfo/forum
