Dear GAP Forum,
It happened that the GAP 4.8.9 release contains the version of
the Semigroups package which requires the coming soon GAP 4.9
release and it not usable in GAP 4.8.
Apologies for this error. If you need to use the Semigroups
package in GAP 4.8 and have already installed GAP 4.8.9, you
need to remove the directory `gap4r8/pkg/semigroups-3.0.7/`
from the GAP 4.8.9 installation, download Semigroups 2.8.0 from
https://github.com/gap-packages/Semigroups/releases/tag/v2.8.0
and unpack it in the `pkg` directory of the GAP 4.8.9 installation
(so that it will be placed in the `gap4r8/pkg/semigroups-2.8.0/`
directory).
We plan to release GAP 4.8.10 by the middle of January 2018, to
include several new package releases and a compatible version of
Semigroups.
Best wishes
Alexander
