Gap.app 0.7

The new 0.7 version of Gap.app comes with an improved and streamlined interface. It supports the latest releases of GAP. The Gap.app+GAP edition comes with GAP 4.12 built in -- install everything you need by downloading and dragging Gap.app to your Applications folder!

Gap.app 0.7a fixes an error in loading saved sessions. Saved sessions from the same computer from Gap.app 0.7 should be compatible.

Some advantages of Gap.app

• Display graphical XGAP windows. Interactively examine the subgroup lattice structure of a group. It's easy to expand this support to examine other partially ordered sets.
• Save what you're doing with File | Save (or with the standard ⌘-S shortcut). Gap.app saves graphical display windows, too!
• Built-in help system to read and browse GAP help and documentation.
• No extra steps are required to install GAP -- it comes built-in to the Gap.app+GAP edition.
• Easily load the .g file that you're working on with ⇧⌘-O. Reload the last file with ⌥⇧⌘-O!
• Mac-centric user interface.

• Built-in help browser displays GAP help and documentation inside Gap.app.
  • help is formatted to fit the size of the window, and to look great in a Mac application.
  • responsive user interface.
  • GAP help books of all installed packages are nearby in a sidebar for easy browsing.
  • (make sure that you have "Gap.app internal help viewer" clicked under GAP preferences to use).
• GAP poset sheets now support zoom-to-fit.
