Gap.app release candidate
This release candidate version is intended for GAP experts to help find (and fix) bugs. Sourceforge will be updated with a final version within the next few weeks. The source code is in git. This edition does not include a copy of GAP, which you'll need to have installed elsewhere.
New features in v0.5 (incl. the prerelease):
- Gap.app now works with versions of GAP after 4r4 -- tested with 4r5 and 4r8. (Worked around bug in command-line parsing where GAP has trouble with empty arguments)
- Command completion now works in error loop. (Worked around GAP bug where GAP doesn't escape @ correctly in error loops.)
- Command completion keeps the cursor visible.
- Command completion more correctly handles record variables.
- Better handling of errors on startup.
- Added Help preference pane, which allows selecting a help viewer.
- GAP output of carriage returns now clears to the beginning of the line.
- GAP output of backspace correctly deletes a character.
- More accurate calculation of screen width.
- Keyboard selection support is better.
- Limited support for ANSI/VT100 color codes (standard foreground colors only). Note that ColorPrompt is overridden by Gap.app choices of fonts.
- Ctrl-D to exit GAP is supported.
- Ctrl-C for interrupt is supported.
- A menu option under the GAP menu allows opening GAP in Terminal.app, or GAP Library Folder in Finder.
- Somewhat improved speed of output (e.g. of processing output from the Print function in GAP).
- Additional GAP options supported in preferences
- Gap.app will now save and open sessions. (A session consists of the GAP workspace, all GAP output, and all associated windows, for example from subgroup lattices.)
- Memory Usage inspector allows viewing Gasman statistics.
- Change font size for command window.
- Zoom into/out of command windows and xgap sheets.
- Added icon for .gapsession documents
- Redesigned application icon, added high resolution versions
