removed in GAP 4.9)

2.5.6 (2016-11-08)

converting certain GAP matrices to cvec matrices.
2.5.5 (2016-03-08)
- Maintenance release
2.5.4 (2015-12-18)
- Some functions accept slightly more general input. For example, it
is now in some cases acceptable to use finite field elements like
Z(4)^0 (which is equal, but not identical, to Z(2)^0) as input when
cvec is expecting elements of GF(2).
- Fix EmptySemiEchelonBasis: its documentation said it expects a
sample vector, but the implementation expected a sample matrix. Now
both are possible, and both are documented.
- Fix some errors in the manual.
- Move website to https://gap-packages.github.io/cvec/
- Stop using GenericHashFunc_C (formerly provided by the orb package)
2.5.3 (2014-11-08)

code gets repackages by third parties (e.g. by the GAP team, when
creating their big package archives)

- Fix some minor issues in the documentation
- Remove some leftover GAP 4.4 compatibility code
- Update Max Neunhoeffer's contact data
