[GAP Forum] GAP 4.5.6 release

[Alexander Konovalov]

Dear GAP Forum,

In July 2012 we released the first update to GAP 4.5. We thank all GAP 
users who have sent us feedback and reported problems after this release. 
Taking this feedback into account, we have prepared the next update, 
GAP 4.5.6, which is available now for download from our website

	http://www.gap-system.org

as well as via alternative GAP distributions listed at

	http://www.gap-system.org/Download/#alternatives
	
You may access the overview of changes in GAP 4.5.6 by entering 
'?Changes between GAP 4.4 and GAP 4.5' in GAP 4.5.6 and scrolling 
till the end of the chapter, or view it online at

In addition, GAP 4.5.6 contains four new packages: AutoDoc, Convex,
PolymakeInterface and ToolsForHomalg, as well as new versions of
packages cvec, GradedModules and MatricesForHomalg.

We encourage all users to upgrade to GAP 4.5.6. If you need any help or 
would like to report any problems, please do not hesitate to contact us 
at support at gap-system.org.

Please note that we will regularly update the GAP distribution to include
new versions of GAP packages, but we will not announce each of them to the 
Forum. We intend to use the Forum to announce updates of the core GAP 
system and only of some packages which may fix serious issues or have
major influence on GAP. 

Wishing you fun and success using GAP,

The GAP Group
