GAP 3 Release 4.4 Bug Fixes
The precompiled DOS binaries provided before May 2nd 1997 contained bugs.
You should get them anew. (This
has been fixed in the distribution files.)
There is a bug in the isomorphism test of the Sisyphos share package.
A fixed and updated version is
here
An and updated version (2.4) of the Specht share package has been released.
Specht 2.4
The share package Monoid has been added anew in version 2.2.
Monoid 2.2
The following files fix serious bugs in the library and the share packages.
Get all and unpack them in the home directory of your GAP 3
distribution (the directory containing the 'lib' and 'etc' directories)
using 'unzoo -x fixy.zoo' to get everything fixed.
You can remove the files 'description*' afterwards.

This bugfix fixes minor bugs with the usage of reflection subgroups
in conjunction with braids or hecke elements. It also fixes serious
problems with the computation of Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials which
in the distributed version fails for reflection subgroups and
Kazhdan-Lusztig bases which in the distributed version fail
when a mu coefficient is not equal to 1.

This fix corrects:
1) A potential 'division by zero' error in the polynomial factorization
routine over Z when trying to reduce coefficients.
2) A wrong result of 'IsSubset' for FpGroups if the FpGroup already
contains elements.
3) A missing record component, leading to a syntax error, in the element
conjugacy test for matrix groups.
Errors 1 and 3 will yield GAP 3 to enter the 'brk' loop,
error 2 may yield
wrong results!

This fix corrects an error in the function 'IsFiniteDeterministic' of the
'GRIM' share package.
by Robert Beals, 23-Jun-97
-
fix4.zoo
-
This fix corrects:
1) An error in the Tietze transformation routines when handling
presentations including a redundant generator g and a relator of
form g^2 or g^-2.
2) An error in 'RewriteSubgroupRelators' when encountering the empty word
as group relator.
by Volkmar Felsch, 25-Jun-97
-
fix5.zoo
-
This fix corrects:
1) An error in the homomorphism test for mappings from finitely presented
groups.
2) An error in the homomorphism test for mappings to finitely presented
groups (it is not possible to simply evaluate relators).
3) An error in 'PermChars'.

This fix adds documentation for the small groups library.
by Bettina Eick, 3-Jul-97

fix7.zoo
-
This fix corrects:
1) An error in the 'PreImagesRepresentative' code for homomorphisms
between AgGroups.
2) An error in the 'Centralizer' code for AgGroups that may introduce
duplicate parent groups.
3) An error in 'RealClassesCharTable'.
4) A compiler problem in the DOS version. (With level 2 optimization the
Kernel function TreeEntry does not work.)
5) Potentially stray pointers in kernel routines for finitely presented
groups if a garbage collection is issued in between.
6) Adaption of the XGAP share package to changes in the Tietze
transformation routines in GAP 3.4.4.
7) Upgrade of the MeatAxe share package to the C-Meataxe 2.2.3 (to avoid
problems under Linux).
As this fix changes the source you will have to recompile. We have
precomplied binaries (archived) for
DOS, and
Macintoshes.
If you use the MeatAxe share package you will also have to recompile the
MeatAxe binaries.

fix8.zoo

This fix provides:
1) A workaround for a kernel problem in auxiliary routines for the
function 'AbelianInvariantsSubgroupFpGroupMtc'.
2) Corrections in the sun-...-cc target in the Makefile.
3) A new target for Linux Power-Pc Machines in the Makefile.
4) Correction for the creation of the path name of share packages if the
operating system does not use '/' as directory separator.
5) Correction for an error in the comparison routine for vector spaces.

This fix corrects:

permutation group, obtained via a composition series.
2) `Random' for the trivial subgroup of an AgGroup.
3) The \in test for elements in automorphism groups.
by Alexander Hulpke, 13-Nov-97

This fix corrects:
1) A problem in `DeterminantChar',
2) Two problems in `CyclotomicField',
3) A problem in the calculation of character tables for permutation
groups.
4) An error in the `meataxe' share package.
5) An error in the `Intersection' Routine for residue classes.

fix11.zoo
-
This fix corrects:
1) A problem with `CharacterDegrees' not finishing for some groups,
2) An error in `Resultant' when applied to multivariate polynomials,
3) An error when computing the automorphism group of small cyclic
groups,
4) An error when intersecting groups with cosets,
5) An error when sorting conjugacy classes during the calculation of
character tables.
6) It also provides a workaround for a problem in `OneCocycles'.
