[GAP Forum] GAP 4.6.5 release announcement

[Alexander Konovalov]

Dear GAP Forum,

This is to announce the release of GAP 4.6.5.

You can download GAP 4.6.5 from 

	http://www.gap-system.org/Releases/

The alternative GAP distributions listed at 

	http://www.gap-system.org/Download/#alternatives

will be updated in due course.

The overview of changes in GAP 4.6.5 is given below.

Improved functionality:

* TraceMethods and UntraceMethods now better check their arguments 
 and provide a sensible error message if being called without 
 arguments. Also, both variants of calling them are now documented.

* Library methods for Sortex are now replaced by faster ones using 
 the kernel SortParallel functionality instead of making expensive 
 zipped lists.

Fixed bugs which could lead to incorrect results:

* IntHexString wrongly produced a large integer when there were too 
 many leading zeros. [Reported by Joe Bohanon]

Fixed bugs that could lead to break loops:

* A bug that may occur in some cases while calling 
 TransitiveIdentification. [Reported by Izumi Miyamoto]

* The new code for semidirect products of permutation groups, 
 introduced in GAP 4.6, had a bug which was causing problems for 
 Projection. [Reported by Graham Ellis]

In addition to the improved functionality and fixed bugs in the 
core GAP system, the following packages have been updated since 
the previous GAP 4.6.4 release: AutoDoc, CRISP, EDIM, Float,
HAP, hecke, IRREDSOL, Modules, NumericalSgps and Smallsemi.

We encourage all users to upgrade to GAP 4.6.5. If you need any 
help or would like to report any problems, please do not hesitate 
to contact us at support at gap-system.org.

Please note that we regularly update the GAP distribution to include 
new versions of GAP packages, but we may not announce each of them 
to the Forum. We intend to use the Forum to announce updates of the 
core GAP system and only of some packages which may fix serious 
issues or have major influence on GAP. 


Wishing you fun and success using GAP,
The GAP Group
