GAP Update: UTF-8 String Support! v 0.2.5

Hello everyone!

It’s been a while since the last update, and I want to thank you for your patience. I’ve been away for a while, but I’m back and ready to make more frequent updates to GAP.

What's New: UTF-8 String Support!

In this update, GAP now supports UTF-8 strings. This means that you can now handle files with names that include special characters like those used in German, French, and other languages, as well as Cyrillic characters. This is a huge step forward in making GAP more versatile and accommodating to users worldwide. Whether you’re working with file names in different languages GAP’s UTF-8 support ensures smooth handling without any issues related to character encoding.

Currently, GAP does not support Asian, Arabic, or even other more exotic languages in terms of its UI. However, if there is a request for these languages, we are confident that we can find a solution.

What’s Coming Next: Improved File Dialogs

In the next update, I’m planning to improve the open and save file dialogs within GAP. The focus will be on enhancing the file filtering system, making it easier to find and manage your files. This will improve your workflow, ensuring you can spend less time searching for necessary files!

Thank You for Your Support

We appreciate all the feedback and support from the community so far. We are excited to continue improving GAP and bringing new features to make it an even better tool for you.

Stay tuned for more updates soon!
