[GAP Forum] Gap.app 0.5

[Russ Woodroofe]

Dear all,

On the tails of the announcement of GAP 4.9, I'd like to announce Gap.app v0.5. Gap.app is a native Mac frontend and distribution for GAP. See
https://cocoagap.sourceforge.io/

The default download of Gap.app (the green button on the webpage) includes a full copy of GAP 4.9.1 for the Mac. No compilation is required. Install everything you need for GAP by dragging and dropping Gap.app to your Applications folder!

## More info:
Gap.app is the native Mac frontend to GAP. The new release has, after a long hiatus, been significantly improved and polished. It should work with any recent GAP version, and has been tested with GAP versions 4.8 and 4.9 on macOS 10.12 and 10.13.

Features of particular note (starred * features are new):
- *Supports an embedded copy of GAP. (With supporting edition; choose Built-in
GAP under Preferences.)
- *Save and load Gap.app sessions.
- *Real-time memory monitoring.
- Native Mac-like editing of the command line, including command completion.
- Full xgap support, allowing graphical interaction with subgroup lattices.

A screencast video on the website demonstrates many of Gap.app's features.

All the best,

Russ Woodroofe

Dear Russ,

This is in concern with link to gap.app mentioned above. I used it on PC
and it worked well. However, now that I tried again with the same link, its
not available. Can you provide me the new pathway or something similar.

Thanks in advance!

Dear Sugandha,
The right webpage is still
https://cocoagap.sourceforge.io/

Unfortunately, Sourceforge (where it is hosted) does not seem to have 100% availability. It's showing as temporarily down for maintenance at the moment. (Message: "Sourceforge project sites are currently under maintenance. Please check back later. We thank you for your patience.")

I expect that it will go back up later today.

And, just to check, Gap.app works only on macOS. (That is, it won't work on a computer running Windows or Linux, at least not yet.) I say this only because you mention running it on PC, which often refers to a Windows machine.
Best,

--Russ
