Dear GAP Forum,
This is to announce the release of version 2.0 of the Example package.
The Example package is intended as a prototype/template of a GAP
package that hopefully new package writers will find useful. The
package complements the detailed instructions found in the Reference
Manual (chapter 74) and the Extending GAP Manual (chapter 4), links to
which, along with other useful information, can be found by following
the `Packages' then `For Authors' links at the GAP website:
http://www.gap-system.org
Also on the `Packages' page(s) is a link to the Example package.
This new version of the Example package is fully up-to-date with
respect to the new package loading mechanism of GAP 4.4, and removes
all obsolete code. New GAP package writers are urged to base their
package on this new version of the Example package and not older
versions of the package. Comments exist in the package files to
explain the changes from GAP 4.3 to GAP 4.4. The `Authorhints' link
from the `Packages' -> `For Authors' page described above, has a
section `How to adjust a package after the release of GAP 4.4?' that
provides details of these changes.
The new version of the Example package can be downloaded directly from
http://www.gap-system.org/Packages/example.html
or the package homepage:

or its Australian mirrors:

Regards,
Greg Gamble for the GAP Group
