This release introduces fundamental changes over Isabelle2005, see the
|
|
wenzelm@24802
|
7 |
NEWS file in the distribution for more details. Numerous existing
|
|
wenzelm@24802
|
8 |
concepts have been generalized and re-implemented based on novel
|
|
wenzelm@24802
|
9 |
system architecture. New theories and proof tools have been added
|
|
wenzelm@25271
|
10 |
(mostly for HOL). Some highlights are:
|
|
wenzelm@9928
|
11 |
|
|
wenzelm@25148
|
12 |
* Support for nominal datatypes (binding structures) due to the
|
|
wenzelm@25148
|
13 |
HOL-Nominal logic.
|
|
wenzelm@24813
|
14 |
|
|
wenzelm@24813
|
15 |
* General local theory infrastructure for specifications depending on
|
|
wenzelm@24813
|
16 |
parameters and assumptions (e.g. from locales, classes).
|
|
wenzelm@24813
|
17 |
|
|
wenzelm@24813
|
18 |
* New basic specification elements 'definition', 'axiomatization',
|
|
wenzelm@24813
|
19 |
'abbreviation', 'notation'.
|
|
kleing@14624
|
20 |
|
|
wenzelm@24802
|
21 |
* New version of 'inductive' package for inductive predicates;
|
|
wenzelm@24802
|
22 |
separate variant 'inductive_set'.
|
|
wenzelm@9928
|
23 |
|
|
wenzelm@24813
|
24 |
* New 'function' package for general recursive function definitions.
|
|
wenzelm@10161
|
25 |
|
|
wenzelm@24802
|
26 |
* New 'class' package combination of axclass + locale interpretation.
|
|
wenzelm@10161
|
27 |
|
|
haftmann@25213
|
28 |
* Built-in Metis prover, external linkup for automated provers, and
|
|
haftmann@25229
|
29 |
'sledgehammer' command for automated proof synthesis.
|
|
haftmann@25213
|
30 |
|
|
wenzelm@25306
|
31 |
* Auto quickcheck: toplevel goals are tested for counterexamples
|
|
wenzelm@25306
|
32 |
automatically when they are stated.
|
|
haftmann@25305
|
33 |
|
|
haftmann@25242
|
34 |
* Second generation code generator for a subset of HOL, targeting SML,
|
|
wenzelm@24802
|
35 |
Haskell, and OCaml.
|
|
wenzelm@24802
|
36 |
|
|
wenzelm@25271
|
37 |
* Command 'normal_form' and method "normalization" for evaluating
|
|
wenzelm@25271
|
38 |
terms with free variables.
|
|
wenzelm@25271
|
39 |
|
|
wenzelm@25271
|
40 |
* Full list comprehension syntax for HOL.
|
|
wenzelm@25271
|
41 |
|
|
wenzelm@25271
|
42 |
* Much improved algebraic capabilities, including Groebner bases.
|
|
wenzelm@24802
|
43 |
|
|
wenzelm@25306
|
44 |
* Embedding of ML code into theories with static references to the
|
|
wenzelm@25306
|
45 |
logical context (via antiquotations).
|
|
wenzelm@25306
|
46 |
|
|
wenzelm@24802
|
47 |
* Parallel loading of theories based on native multicore support in
|
|
wenzelm@24802
|
48 |
Poly/ML 5.1.
