[GAP Forum] GUAVA 2.3

[David Joyner]

Hello GAP Forum:

This is to announce the release of version 2.3 of GUAVA, the
error-correcting codes package for GAP. This version has been
tested to load with GAP 4.4.5 but it does not work with
earlier versions of GAP.

Several changes have taken place over the last major release,
GUAVA 2.0. Indeed, the pdf manual has gone from about 123
pages to 147 pages, and I have added about 10-15 pages
of GAP code to the GUAVA library. There are several new
functions - for example a special decoder for cyclic codes,
and some limited functionality to deal with algebraic
geometric codes. Also, a test file guava.tst was added.

For further details, see the CHANGES file on the GUAVA web page
http://cadigweb.ew.usna.edu/~wdj/gap/GUAVA/

Please send any bugs or comments to me (wdj at usna.edu) or
the GAP support list (support at gap-system.org).

Thanks,  David Joyner
