GAP 4.14.0-beta1

[fingolfin]

Dear all,

I plan to release GAP 4.14.0 in 1-2 weeks (before December 1st) assuming all goes well. To prepare for that, I've made a prerelease to allow testing.

Version 4.14.0-beta1 is mostly intended for use by people who package GAP for Linux distributions, or similar things (Homebrew, FreeBSD ports, Conda, SageMath, ...). The idea is to iron out issues related to packaging before the final release.

That said, everyone else is of course also welcome to give it a try. I don't expect major changes in the final release, though we'll still merge PRs and package updates if they don't appear "risky".

You can find this pre-release at https://github.com/gap-system/gap/releases/tag/v4.14.0-beta1

If you want all GAP sources and all packages, you need gap-4.14.0-beta1.tar.gz.

Some people who I know package GAP and might be interested in this include @antonio-rojas @isuruf @saraedum @jamesjer @orlitzky @collares @AndreasEnge @yurivict @kiwifb @mkoeppe
