Unfortunately the GAP 4.16.0 release is a bit delayed. But I'd like to get it out by the end of May / first week of June. I thought about just release it today, but figured it would be better to cut a beta2 release instead. A bunch of changes compared to beta1, the most meaningful for packagers probably is that the kernel / libgap version increased. You can find this pre-release at https://github.com/gap-system/gap/releases/tag/v4.16.0-beta2 I realize that planning to release next week doesn't give much time for testing, but I am prepared to quickly follow up with a 4.16.1 release if necessary. |

I noticed that the v4.16.0-beta2 archive contains many files with strange or inconsistent permissions. In particular there are world writable directories and files in the I suggest to fix and unify permissions by calling within the GAP root before packing the archive. |

Dear all,
I plan to release GAP 4.16.0 in mid-May, assuming all goes well. To prepare for that, I've made a prerelease to allow testing.
Version 4.16.0-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/v4.16.0-beta1
If you want all GAP sources and all packages, you need gap-4.16.0-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
