Comment:

 If you're a GAP3 user interested in trying the new interface, then you can
 follow the instructions below to patch your version of Sage. These
 instructions are just a summary of the procedure described at:
 [http://www.sagemath.org/doc/developer/walk_through.html#reviewing-a-patch].
 (Alternatively, your can just install all the sage-combinat patches using
 the command {{{"sage -combinat install"}}}, which includes the GAP3
 interface patch.)

  1. First, create a branch of your Sage library (you can later switch
 between the main branch and the new gap3 branch with the commands {{{"sage
 -b main"}}} and {{{"sage -b gap3"}}}):
    {{{
 sage -clone gap3
 }}}

  2. Next, start Sage and run one of the following commands, depending on
 the version of Sage you have installed.

  * For sage-4.3.2:
 {{{
 sage: hg_sage.apply("http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/raw-
 attachment/ticket/8380/gap3_interface_v4.3.2.patch")
 }}}

  * For sage-4.3.3:
 {{{
 sage: hg_sage.apply("http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/raw-
 attachment/ticket/8380/gap3_interface_v4.3.3.patch")
 }}}

  3. Finally, exist Sage and run the following command.
 {{{
 sage -br
 }}}

 You should be up and running now.

 I've also generated the documentation and posted it as a PDF file. You can
 find it in the "Attachments" section.
