Dear Forum, Dear Sebastien Palcoux,

> The current GAP Data Library "Transitive Permutation Groups" contains the transitive permutation groups of degree up to 30

> Question: The next generation of this Data Library will be with degree up to what? available when?  

It would help to know what degrees you are looking for.

At this time I don't have any concrete plans for a ``new release'' of the data library. 

The transitive groups have been classified for degrees 32 by Cannon and Holt. The last time I asked they still wanted to test their data before releasing it. The total number of groups (over 2 million) also would make this a rather large database.

I have lists for degrees 33,34,35 (but these are very easily done).

Degree 36 seems to be borderline in that calculations take longer than our system administrator lets me keep a computer without rebooting.

Best wishes,
