Version     : 4.6.5
Release     : 1.fc19

Summary     : Computational discrete algebra
Description :
GAP is a system for computational discrete algebra, with particular
emphasis on Computational Group Theory.  GAP provides a programming
language, a library of thousands of functions implementing algebraic
algorithms written in the GAP language as well as large data libraries
of algebraic objects.  GAP is used in research and teaching for studying
groups and their representations, rings, vector spaces, algebras,
combinatorial structures, and more.

This is a metapackage that requires the standard GAP components.

Update Information:

Upstream notes on release 4.6.5 follow:

Improved functionality:
- TraceMethods (Reference: TraceMethods (for operations)) and UntraceMethods (Reference: UntraceMethods (for operations)) 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 (Reference: Sortex) are now replaced by faster ones using the kernel SortParallel (Reference: SortParallel) functionality instead of making expensive zipped lists.

Fixed bugs which could lead to incorrect results:
- IntHexString (Reference: 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 (Reference: 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 (Reference: Projection). [Reported by Graham Ellis]
