Dear GAP Forum, This is to announce the release of version 2.0 of the Example package. The Example package is intended as a prototype/template of a GAP package that hopefully new package writers will find useful. The package complements the detailed instructions found in the Reference Manual (chapter 74) and the Extending GAP Manual (chapter 4), links to which, along with other useful information, can be found by following the `Packages' then `For Authors' links at the GAP website:
http://www.gap-system.org Also on the `Packages' page(s) is a link to the Example package. This new version of the Example package is fully up-to-date with respect to the new package loading mechanism of GAP 4.4, and removes all obsolete code. New GAP package writers are urged to base their package on this new version of the Example package and not older versions of the package. Comments exist in the package files to explain the changes from GAP 4.3 to GAP 4.4. The `Authorhints' link from the `Packages' -> `For Authors' page described above, has a section `How to adjust a package after the release of GAP 4.4?' that provides details of these changes. The new version of the Example package can be downloaded directly from http://www.gap-system.org/Packages/example.html or the package homepage: http://www.math.rwth-aachen.de/~Greg.Gamble/Example/ (Aachen, Germany) or its Australian mirrors: http://www.maths.uwa.edu.au/~gregg/Example/ (Perth) http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~gregg/Example/ (Brisbane) Regards, Greg Gamble for the GAP Group _______________________________________________ Forum mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gap-system.org/mailman/listinfo/forum
