     1 Isabelle NEWS -- history user-relevant changes
     2 ==============================================
     3 
     4 New in this Isabelle version
     5 ----------------------------
     6 
     7 *** General ***
     8 
     9 * Simplified subscripts within identifiers, using plain \<^sub>
    10 instead of the second copy \<^isub> and \<^isup>.  Superscripts are
    11 only for literal tokens within notation; explicit mixfix annotations
    12 for consts or fixed variables may be used as fall-back for unusual
    13 names.  Obsolete \<twosuperior> has been expanded to \<^sup>2 in
    14 Isabelle/HOL.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "isabelle update_sub_sup" to
    15 standardize symbols as a starting point for further manual cleanup.
    16 The ML reference variable "legacy_isub_isup" may be set as temporary
    17 workaround, to make the prover accept a subset of the old identifier
    18 syntax.
    19 
    20 * Document antiquotations: term style "isub" has been renamed to
    21 "sub".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    22 
    23 * Uniform management of "quick_and_dirty" as system option (see also
    24 "isabelle options"), configuration option within the context (see also
    25 Config.get in Isabelle/ML), and attribute in Isabelle/Isar.  Minor
    26 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use more official Isabelle means to access
    27 quick_and_dirty, instead of historical poking into mutable reference.
    28 
    29 * Renamed command 'print_configs' to 'print_options'.  Minor
    30 INCOMPATIBILITY.
    31 
    32 * Sessions may be organized via 'chapter' specifications in the ROOT
    33 file, which determines a two-level hierarchy of browser info.  The old
    34 tree-like organization via implicit sub-session relation, with its
    35 tendency towards erratic fluctuation of URLs, has been discontinued.
    36 The default chapter is "Unsorted".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for HTML
    37 presentation of theories.
    38 
    39 * Discontinued obsolete 'uses' within theory header.  Note that
    40 commands like 'ML_file' work without separate declaration of file
    41 dependencies.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    42 
    43 * Discontinued redundant 'use' command, which was superseded by
    44 'ML_file' in Isabelle2013.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    45 
    46 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual,
    47 eliminated old "ref" manual.
    48 
    49 * Proper diagnostic command 'print_state'.  Old 'pr' (with its
    50 implicit change of some global references) is retained for now as
    51 control command, e.g. for ProofGeneral 3.7.x.
    52 
    53 * Discontinued 'print_drafts' command with its old-fashioned PS output
    54 and Unix command-line print spooling.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: use
    55 'display_drafts' instead and print via the regular document viewer.
    56 
    57 
    58 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
    59 
    60 * Improved "Theories" panel: Continuous checking of proof document
    61 (visible and required parts) may be controlled explicitly, using check
    62 box or shortcut "C+e ENTER".  Individual theory nodes may be marked
    63 explicitly as required and checked in full, using check box or
    64 shortcut "C+e SPACE".
    65 
    66 * Strictly monotonic document update, without premature cancelation of
    67 running transactions that are still needed: avoid reset/restart of
    68 such command executions while editing.
    69 
    70 * Support for asynchronous print functions, as overlay to existing
    71 document content.
    72 
    73 * Support for automatic tools in HOL, which try to prove or disprove
    74 toplevel theorem statements.
    75 
    76 * Dockable window "Find" provides query operations for formal entities
    77 (GUI front-end to 'find_theorems' command).
    78 
    79 * Dockable window "Documentation" provides access to Isabelle
    80 documentation.
    81 
    82 * Dockable window "Sledgehammer" manages asynchronous / parallel
    83 sledgehammer runs over existing document sources, independently of
    84 normal editing and checking process.
    85 
    86 * Dockable window "Timing" provides an overview of relevant command
    87 timing information.
    88 
    89 * Action isabelle.reset-font-size resets main text area font size
    90 according to Isabelle/Scala plugin option "jedit_font_reset_size"
    91 (cf. keyboard shortcut C+0).
    92 
    93 * More reactive and less intrusive completion.  Plain words need to be
    94 at least 3 characters long to be completed (was 2 before).  Symbols
    95 are only completed in backslash forms, e.g. \forall or \<forall> that
    96 both produce the Isabelle symbol \<forall> in its Unicode rendering.
    97 
    98 * Improved support for Linux look-and-feel "GTK+", see also "Utilities
    99 / Global Options / Appearance".
   100 
   101 
   102 *** Pure ***
   103 
   104 * Type theory is now immutable, without any special treatment of
   105 drafts or linear updates (which could lead to "stale theory" errors in
   106 the past).  Discontinued obsolete operations like Theory.copy,
   107 Theory.checkpoint, and the auxiliary type theory_ref.  Minor
   108 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   109 
   110 * System option "proofs" has been discontinued.  Instead the global
   111 state of Proofterm.proofs is persistently compiled into logic images
   112 as required, notably HOL-Proofs.  Users no longer need to change
   113 Proofterm.proofs dynamically.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   114 
   115 * Syntax translation functions (print_translation etc.) always depend
   116 on Proof.context.  Discontinued former "(advanced)" option -- this is
   117 now the default.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   118 
   119 * Target-sensitive commands 'interpretation' and 'sublocale'.
   120 Particulary, 'interpretation' now allows for non-persistent
   121 interpretation within "context ... begin ... end" blocks.  See
   122 "isar-ref" manual for details.
   123 
   124 * Improved locales diagnostic command 'print_dependencies'.
   125 
   126 * Discontinued obsolete 'axioms' command, which has been marked as
   127 legacy since Isabelle2009-2.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use 'axiomatization'
   128 instead, while observing its uniform scope for polymorphism.
   129 
   130 * Discontinued empty name bindings in 'axiomatization'.
   131 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   132 
   133 * SELECT_GOAL now retains the syntactic context of the overall goal
   134 state (schematic variables etc.).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare
   135 situations.
   136 
   137 
   138 *** HOL ***
   139 
   140 * Improved support for adhoc overloading of constants (see also
   141 isar-ref manual and ~~/src/HOL/ex/Adhoc_Overloading_Examples.thy).
   142 
   143 * Attibute 'code': 'code' now declares concrete and abstract code
   144 equations uniformly.  Use explicit 'code equation' and 'code abstract'
   145 to distinguish both when desired.
   146 
   147 * Code generator:
   148   - 'code_printing' unifies 'code_const' / 'code_type' / 'code_class' /
   149     'code_instance'.
   150   - 'code_identifier' declares name hints for arbitrary identifiers in
   151     generated code, subsuming 'code_modulename'.
   152   See the isar-ref manual for syntax diagrams, and the HOL theories
   153   for examples.
   154 
   155 * Library/Polynomial.thy:
   156   - Use lifting for primitive definitions.
   157   - Explicit conversions from and to lists of coefficients, used for
   158     generated code.
   159   - Replaced recursion operator poly_rec by fold_coeffs.
   160   - Prefer pre-existing gcd operation for gcd.
   161   - Fact renames:
   162     poly_eq_iff ~> poly_eq_poly_eq_iff
   163     poly_ext ~> poly_eqI
   164     expand_poly_eq ~> poly_eq_iff
   165 IMCOMPATIBILTIY.
   166 
   167 * Reification and reflection:
   168   - Reification is now directly available in HOL-Main in structure
   169     "Reification".
   170   - Reflection now handles multiple lists with variables also.
   171   - The whole reflection stack has been decomposed into conversions.
   172 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   173 
   174 * Weaker precendence of syntax for big intersection and union on sets,
   175 in accordance with corresponding lattice operations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   176 
   177 * Nested case expressions are now translated in a separate check phase
   178 rather than during parsing. The data for case combinators is separated
   179 from the datatype package. The declaration attribute
   180 "case_translation" can be used to register new case combinators:
   181 
   182   declare [[case_translation case_combinator constructor1 ... constructorN]]
   183 
   184 * Notation "{p:A. P}" now allows tuple patterns as well.
   185 
   186 * Revised devices for recursive definitions over finite sets:
   187   - Only one fundamental fold combinator on finite set remains:
   188     Finite_Set.fold :: ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
   189     This is now identity on infinite sets.
   190   - Locales ("mini packages") for fundamental definitions with
   191     Finite_Set.fold: folding, folding_idem.
   192   - Locales comm_monoid_set, semilattice_order_set and
   193     semilattice_neutr_order_set for big operators on sets.
   194     See theory Big_Operators for canonical examples.
   195     Note that foundational constants comm_monoid_set.F and
   196     semilattice_set.F correspond to former combinators fold_image
   197     and fold1 respectively.  These are now gone.  You may use
   198     those foundational constants as substitutes, but it is
   199     preferable to interpret the above locales accordingly. 
   200   - Dropped class ab_semigroup_idem_mult (special case of lattice,
   201     no longer needed in connection with Finite_Set.fold etc.)
   202   - Fact renames:
   203       card.union_inter ~> card_Un_Int [symmetric]
   204       card.union_disjoint ~> card_Un_disjoint
   205 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   206 
   207 * Locale hierarchy for abstract orderings and (semi)lattices.
   208 
   209 * Discontinued theory src/HOL/Library/Eval_Witness.
   210 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   211 
   212 * Discontinued obsolete src/HOL/IsaMakefile (considered legacy since
   213 Isabelle2013).  Use "isabelle build" to operate on Isabelle sessions.
   214 
   215 * Numeric types mapped by default to target language numerals: natural
   216 (replaces former code_numeral) and integer (replaces former code_int).
   217 Conversions are available as integer_of_natural / natural_of_integer /
   218 integer_of_nat / nat_of_integer (in HOL) and
   219 Code_Numeral.integer_of_natural / Code_Numeral.natural_of_integer (in
   220 ML).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   221 
   222 * Discontinued theories Code_Integer and Efficient_Nat by a more
   223 fine-grain stack of theories Code_Target_Int, Code_Binary_Nat,
   224 Code_Target_Nat and Code_Target_Numeral.  See the tutorial on code
   225 generation for details.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   226 
   227 * Introduce type class "conditionally_complete_lattice": Like a
   228 complete lattice but does not assume the existence of the top and
   229 bottom elements.  Allows to generalize some lemmas about reals and
   230 extended reals.  Removed SupInf and replaced it by the instantiation
   231 of conditionally_complete_lattice for real. Renamed lemmas about
   232 conditionally-complete lattice from Sup_... to cSup_... and from
   233 Inf_...  to cInf_... to avoid hidding of similar complete lattice
   234 lemmas.
   235 
   236 * Introduce type class linear_continuum as combination of
   237 conditionally-complete lattices and inner dense linorders which have
   238 more than one element.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   239 
   240 * Introduce type classes "no_top" and "no_bot" for orderings without
   241 top and bottom elements.
   242 
   243 * Split dense_linorder into inner_dense_order and no_top, no_bot.
   244 
   245 * Complex_Main: Unify and move various concepts from
   246 HOL-Multivariate_Analysis to HOL-Complex_Main.
   247 
   248  - Introduce type class (lin)order_topology and linear_continuum_topology.
   249    Allows to generalize theorems about limits and order.
   250    Instances are reals and extended reals.
   251 
   252  - continuous and continuos_on from Multivariate_Analysis:
   253    "continuous" is the continuity of a function at a filter.
   254    "isCont" is now an abbrevitation: "isCont x f == continuous (at _) f".
   255 
   256    Generalized continuity lemmas from isCont to continuous on an arbitrary
   257    filter.
   258 
   259  - compact from Multivariate_Analysis. Use Bolzano's lemma
   260    to prove compactness of closed intervals on reals. Continuous functions
   261    attain infimum and supremum on compact sets. The inverse of a continuous
   262    function is continuous, when the function is continuous on a compact set.
   263 
   264  - connected from Multivariate_Analysis. Use it to prove the
   265    intermediate value theorem. Show connectedness of intervals on
   266    linear_continuum_topology).
   267 
   268  - first_countable_topology from Multivariate_Analysis. Is used to
   269    show equivalence of properties on the neighbourhood filter of x and on
   270    all sequences converging to x.
   271 
   272  - FDERIV: Definition of has_derivative moved to Deriv.thy. Moved theorems
   273    from Library/FDERIV.thy to Deriv.thy and base the definition of DERIV on
   274    FDERIV. Add variants of DERIV and FDERIV which are restricted to sets,
   275    i.e. to represent derivatives from left or right.
   276 
   277  - Removed the within-filter. It is replaced by the principal filter:
   278 
   279      F within X = inf F (principal X)
   280 
   281  - Introduce "at x within U" as a single constant, "at x" is now an
   282    abbreviation for "at x within UNIV"
   283 
   284  - Introduce named theorem collections tendsto_intros, continuous_intros,
   285    continuous_on_intros and FDERIV_intros. Theorems in tendsto_intros (or
   286    FDERIV_intros) are also available as tendsto_eq_intros (or
   287    FDERIV_eq_intros) where the right-hand side is replaced by a congruence
   288    rule. This allows to apply them as intro rules and then proving
   289    equivalence by the simplifier.
   290 
   291  - Restructured theories in HOL-Complex_Main:
   292 
   293    + Moved RealDef and RComplete into Real
   294 
   295    + Introduced Topological_Spaces and moved theorems about
   296      topological spaces, filters, limits and continuity to it
   297 
   298    + Renamed RealVector to Real_Vector_Spaces
   299 
   300    + Split Lim, SEQ, Series into Topological_Spaces, Real_Vector_Spaces, and
   301      Limits
   302 
   303    + Moved Ln and Log to Transcendental
   304 
   305    + Moved theorems about continuity from Deriv to Topological_Spaces
   306 
   307  - Remove various auxiliary lemmas.
   308 
   309 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   310 
   311 * Consolidation of library theories on product orders:
   312 
   313     Product_Lattice ~> Product_Order -- pointwise order on products
   314     Product_ord ~> Product_Lexorder -- lexicographic order on products
   315 
   316 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   317 
   318 * Sledgehammer:
   319 
   320   - Renamed option:
   321       isar_shrink ~> isar_compress
   322 
   323 * Imperative-HOL: The MREC combinator is considered legacy and no
   324 longer included by default. INCOMPATIBILITY, use partial_function
   325 instead, or import theory Legacy_Mrec as a fallback.
   326 
   327 * HOL-Algebra: Discontinued theories src/HOL/Algebra/abstract and
   328 .../poly.  Existing theories should be based on
   329 src/HOL/Library/Polynomial instead.  The latter provides integration
   330 with HOL's type classes for rings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   331 
   332 
   333 *** ML ***
   334 
   335 * Spec_Check is a Quickcheck tool for Isabelle/ML.  The ML function
   336 "check_property" allows to check specifications of the form "ALL x y
   337 z. prop x y z".  See also ~~/src/Tools/Spec_Check/ with its
   338 Examples.thy in particular.
   339 
   340 * More uniform naming of goal functions for skipped proofs:
   341 
   342     Skip_Proof.prove  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry
   343     Skip_Proof.prove_global  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry_global
   344 
   345 * Antiquotation @{theory_context A} is similar to @{theory A}, but
   346 presents the result as initial Proof.context.
   347 
   348 * Modifiers for classical wrappers (e.g. addWrapper, delWrapper)
   349 operate on Proof.context instead of claset, for uniformity with addIs,
   350 addEs, addDs etc. Note that claset_of and put_claset allow to manage
   351 clasets separately from the context.
   352 
   353 * Simplifier tactics and tools use proper Proof.context instead of
   354 historic type simpset.  Old-style declarations like addsimps,
   355 addsimprocs etc. operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type simpset
   356 retains its use as snapshot of the main Simplifier context, using
   357 simpset_of and put_simpset on Proof.context.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- port
   358 old tools by making them depend on (ctxt : Proof.context) instead of
   359 (ss : simpset), then turn (simpset_of ctxt) into ctxt.
   360 
   361 * Discontinued obsolete ML antiquotations @{claset} and @{simpset}.
   362 INCOMPATIBILITY, use @{context} instead.
   363 
   364 
   365 *** System ***
   366 
   367 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle usedir, mkdir, make -- superseded by
   368 "isabelle build" in Isabelle2013.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   369 
   370 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle-process options -f and -u (former
   371 administrative aliases of option -e).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   372 
   373 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle print tool, and PRINT_COMMAND
   374 settings variable.
   375 
   376 * Discontinued ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT settings variable and historic
   377 document formats: dvi.gz, ps, ps.gz -- the default document format is
   378 always pdf.
   379 
   380 * Isabelle settings variable ISABELLE_BUILD_JAVA_OPTIONS allows to
   381 specify global resources of the JVM process run by isabelle build.
   382 
   383 * Toplevel executable $ISABELLE_HOME/bin/isabelle_scala_script allows
   384 to run Isabelle/Scala source files as standalone programs.
   385 
   386 * Improved "isabelle keywords" tool (for old-style ProofGeneral
   387 keyword tables): use Isabelle/Scala operations, which inspect outer
   388 syntax without requiring to build sessions first.
   389 
   390 
   391 
   392 New in Isabelle2013 (February 2013)
   393 -----------------------------------
   394 
   395 *** General ***
   396 
   397 * Theorem status about oracles and unfinished/failed future proofs is
   398 no longer printed by default, since it is incompatible with
   399 incremental / parallel checking of the persistent document model.  ML
   400 function Thm.peek_status may be used to inspect a snapshot of the
   401 ongoing evaluation process.  Note that in batch mode --- notably
   402 isabelle build --- the system ensures that future proofs of all
   403 accessible theorems in the theory context are finished (as before).
   404 
   405 * Configuration option show_markup controls direct inlining of markup
   406 into the printed representation of formal entities --- notably type
   407 and sort constraints.  This enables Prover IDE users to retrieve that
   408 information via tooltips in the output window, for example.
   409 
   410 * Command 'ML_file' evaluates ML text from a file directly within the
   411 theory, without any predeclaration via 'uses' in the theory header.
   412 
   413 * Old command 'use' command and corresponding keyword 'uses' in the
   414 theory header are legacy features and will be discontinued soon.
   415 Tools that load their additional source files may imitate the
   416 'ML_file' implementation, such that the system can take care of
   417 dependencies properly.
   418 
   419 * Discontinued obsolete method fastsimp / tactic fast_simp_tac, which
   420 is called fastforce / fast_force_tac already since Isabelle2011-1.
   421 
   422 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual, reduced
   423 remaining material in old "ref" manual.
   424 
   425 * Improved support for auxiliary contexts that indicate block structure
   426 for specifications.  Nesting of "context fixes ... context assumes ..."
   427 and "class ... context ...".
   428 
   429 * Attribute "consumes" allows a negative value as well, which is
   430 interpreted relatively to the total number of premises of the rule in
   431 the target context.  This form of declaration is stable when exported
   432 from a nested 'context' with additional assumptions.  It is the
   433 preferred form for definitional packages, notably cases/rules produced
   434 in HOL/inductive and HOL/function.
   435 
   436 * More informative error messages for Isar proof commands involving
   437 lazy enumerations (method applications etc.).
   438 
   439 * Refined 'help' command to retrieve outer syntax commands according
   440 to name patterns (with clickable results).
   441 
   442 
   443 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
   444 
   445 * Parallel terminal proofs ('by') are enabled by default, likewise
   446 proofs that are built into packages like 'datatype', 'function'.  This
   447 allows to "run ahead" checking the theory specifications on the
   448 surface, while the prover is still crunching on internal
   449 justifications.  Unfinished / cancelled proofs are restarted as
   450 required to complete full proof checking eventually.
   451 
   452 * Improved output panel with tooltips, hyperlinks etc. based on the
   453 same Rich_Text_Area as regular Isabelle/jEdit buffers.  Activation of
   454 tooltips leads to some window that supports the same recursively,
   455 which can lead to stacks of tooltips as the semantic document content
   456 is explored.  ESCAPE closes the whole stack, individual windows may be
   457 closed separately, or detached to become independent jEdit dockables.
   458 
   459 * Improved support for commands that produce graph output: the text
   460 message contains a clickable area to open a new instance of the graph
   461 browser on demand.
   462 
   463 * More robust incremental parsing of outer syntax (partial comments,
   464 malformed symbols).  Changing the balance of open/close quotes and
   465 comment delimiters works more conveniently with unfinished situations
   466 that frequently occur in user interaction.
   467 
   468 * More efficient painting and improved reactivity when editing large
   469 files.  More scalable management of formal document content.
   470 
   471 * Smarter handling of tracing messages: prover process pauses after
   472 certain number of messages per command transaction, with some user
   473 dialog to stop or continue.  This avoids swamping the front-end with
   474 potentially infinite message streams.
   475 
   476 * More plugin options and preferences, based on Isabelle/Scala.  The
   477 jEdit plugin option panel provides access to some Isabelle/Scala
   478 options, including tuning parameters for editor reactivity and color
   479 schemes.
   480 
   481 * Dockable window "Symbols" provides some editing support for Isabelle
   482 symbols.
   483 
   484 * Dockable window "Monitor" shows ML runtime statistics.  Note that
   485 continuous display of the chart slows down the system.
   486 
   487 * Improved editing support for control styles: subscript, superscript,
   488 bold, reset of style -- operating on single symbols or text
   489 selections.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C+e DOWN/UP/RIGHT/LEFT.
   490 
   491 * Actions isabelle.increase-font-size and isabelle.decrease-font-size
   492 adjust the main text area font size, and its derivatives for output,
   493 tooltips etc.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C-PLUS and C-MINUS, which often
   494 need to be adapted to local keyboard layouts.
   495 
   496 * More reactive completion popup by default: use \t (TAB) instead of
   497 \n (NEWLINE) to minimize intrusion into regular flow of editing.  See
   498 also "Plugin Options / SideKick / General / Code Completion Options".
   499 
   500 * Implicit check and build dialog of the specified logic session
   501 image.  For example, HOL, HOLCF, HOL-Nominal can be produced on
   502 demand, without bundling big platform-dependent heap images in the
   503 Isabelle distribution.
   504 
   505 * Uniform Java 7 platform on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows: recent updates
   506 from Oracle provide better multi-platform experience.  This version is
   507 now bundled exclusively with Isabelle.
   508 
   509 
   510 *** Pure ***
   511 
   512 * Code generation for Haskell: restrict unqualified imports from
   513 Haskell Prelude to a small set of fundamental operations.
   514 
   515 * Command 'export_code': relative file names are interpreted
   516 relatively to master directory of current theory rather than the
   517 rather arbitrary current working directory.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   518 
   519 * Discontinued obsolete attribute "COMP".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
   520 use regular rule composition via "OF" / "THEN", or explicit proof
   521 structure instead.  Note that Isabelle/ML provides a variety of
   522 operators like COMP, INCR_COMP, COMP_INCR, which need to be applied
   523 with some care where this is really required.
   524 
   525 * Command 'typ' supports an additional variant with explicit sort
   526 constraint, to infer and check the most general type conforming to a
   527 given sort.  Example (in HOL):
   528 
   529   typ "_ * _ * bool * unit" :: finite
   530 
   531 * Command 'locale_deps' visualizes all locales and their relations as
   532 a Hasse diagram.
   533 
   534 
   535 *** HOL ***
   536 
   537 * Sledgehammer:
   538 
   539   - Added MaSh relevance filter based on machine-learning; see the
   540     Sledgehammer manual for details.
   541   - Polished Isar proofs generated with "isar_proofs" option.
   542   - Rationalized type encodings ("type_enc" option).
   543   - Renamed "kill_provers" subcommand to "kill_all".
   544   - Renamed options:
   545       isar_proof ~> isar_proofs
   546       isar_shrink_factor ~> isar_shrink
   547       max_relevant ~> max_facts
   548       relevance_thresholds ~> fact_thresholds
   549 
   550 * Quickcheck: added an optimisation for equality premises.  It is
   551 switched on by default, and can be switched off by setting the
   552 configuration quickcheck_optimise_equality to false.
   553 
   554 * Quotient: only one quotient can be defined by quotient_type
   555 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   556 
   557 * Lifting:
   558   - generation of an abstraction function equation in lift_definition
   559   - quot_del attribute
   560   - renamed no_abs_code -> no_code (INCOMPATIBILITY.)
   561 
   562 * Simproc "finite_Collect" rewrites set comprehensions into pointfree
   563 expressions.
   564 
   565 * Preprocessing of the code generator rewrites set comprehensions into
   566 pointfree expressions.
   567 
   568 * The SMT solver Z3 has now by default a restricted set of directly
   569 supported features. For the full set of features (div/mod, nonlinear
   570 arithmetic, datatypes/records) with potential proof reconstruction
   571 failures, enable the configuration option "z3_with_extensions".  Minor
   572 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   573 
   574 * Simplified 'typedef' specifications: historical options for implicit
   575 set definition and alternative name have been discontinued.  The
   576 former behavior of "typedef (open) t = A" is now the default, but
   577 written just "typedef t = A".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt theories
   578 accordingly.
   579 
   580 * Removed constant "chars"; prefer "Enum.enum" on type "char"
   581 directly.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   582 
   583 * Moved operation product, sublists and n_lists from theory Enum to
   584 List.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   585 
   586 * Theorem UN_o generalized to SUP_comp.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   587 
   588 * Class "comm_monoid_diff" formalises properties of bounded
   589 subtraction, with natural numbers and multisets as typical instances.
   590 
   591 * Added combinator "Option.these" with type "'a option set => 'a set".
   592 
   593 * Theory "Transitive_Closure": renamed lemmas
   594 
   595   reflcl_tranclp -> reflclp_tranclp
   596   rtranclp_reflcl -> rtranclp_reflclp
   597 
   598 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   599 
   600 * Theory "Rings": renamed lemmas (in class semiring)
   601 
   602   left_distrib ~> distrib_right
   603   right_distrib ~> distrib_left
   604 
   605 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   606 
   607 * Generalized the definition of limits:
   608 
   609   - Introduced the predicate filterlim (LIM x F. f x :> G) which
   610     expresses that when the input values x converge to F then the
   611     output f x converges to G.
   612 
   613   - Added filters for convergence to positive (at_top) and negative
   614     infinity (at_bot).
   615 
   616   - Moved infinity in the norm (at_infinity) from
   617     Multivariate_Analysis to Complex_Main.
   618 
   619   - Removed real_tendsto_inf, it is superseded by "LIM x F. f x :>
   620     at_top".
   621 
   622 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   623 
   624 * Theory "Library/Option_ord" provides instantiation of option type to
   625 lattice type classes.
   626 
   627 * Theory "Library/Multiset": renamed
   628 
   629     constant fold_mset ~> Multiset.fold
   630     fact fold_mset_commute ~> fold_mset_comm
   631 
   632 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   633 
   634 * Renamed theory Library/List_Prefix to Library/Sublist, with related
   635 changes as follows.
   636 
   637   - Renamed constants (and related lemmas)
   638 
   639       prefix ~> prefixeq
   640       strict_prefix ~> prefix
   641 
   642   - Replaced constant "postfix" by "suffixeq" with swapped argument
   643     order (i.e., "postfix xs ys" is now "suffixeq ys xs") and dropped
   644     old infix syntax "xs >>= ys"; use "suffixeq ys xs" instead.
   645     Renamed lemmas accordingly.
   646 
   647   - Added constant "list_hembeq" for homeomorphic embedding on
   648     lists. Added abbreviation "sublisteq" for special case
   649     "list_hembeq (op =)".
   650 
   651   - Theory Library/Sublist no longer provides "order" and "bot" type
   652     class instances for the prefix order (merely corresponding locale
   653     interpretations). The type class instances are now in theory
   654     Library/Prefix_Order.
   655 
   656   - The sublist relation of theory Library/Sublist_Order is now based
   657     on "Sublist.sublisteq".  Renamed lemmas accordingly:
   658 
   659       le_list_append_le_same_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append_le_same_iff
   660       le_list_append_mono ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_append_mono
   661       le_list_below_empty ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil, Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil2
   662       le_list_Cons_EX ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_ConsD
   663       le_list_drop_Cons2 ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2'
   664       le_list_drop_Cons_neq ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2_neq
   665       le_list_drop_Cons ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons'
   666       le_list_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_drop_many
   667       le_list_filter_left ~> Sublist.sublisteq_filter_left
   668       le_list_rev_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_rev_drop_many
   669       le_list_rev_take_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append
   670       le_list_same_length ~> Sublist.sublisteq_same_length
   671       le_list_take_many_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append'
   672       less_eq_list.drop ~> less_eq_list_drop
   673       less_eq_list.induct ~> less_eq_list_induct
   674       not_le_list_length ~> Sublist.not_sublisteq_length
   675 
   676 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   677 
   678 * New theory Library/Countable_Set.
   679 
   680 * Theory Library/Debug and Library/Parallel provide debugging and
   681 parallel execution for code generated towards Isabelle/ML.
   682 
   683 * Theory Library/FuncSet: Extended support for Pi and extensional and
   684 introduce the extensional dependent function space "PiE". Replaced
   685 extensional_funcset by an abbreviation, and renamed lemmas from
   686 extensional_funcset to PiE as follows:
   687 
   688   extensional_empty  ~>  PiE_empty
   689   extensional_funcset_empty_domain  ~>  PiE_empty_domain
   690   extensional_funcset_empty_range  ~>  PiE_empty_range
   691   extensional_funcset_arb  ~>  PiE_arb
   692   extensional_funcset_mem  ~>  PiE_mem
   693   extensional_funcset_extend_domainI  ~>  PiE_fun_upd
   694   extensional_funcset_restrict_domain  ~>  fun_upd_in_PiE
   695   extensional_funcset_extend_domain_eq  ~>  PiE_insert_eq
   696   card_extensional_funcset  ~>  card_PiE
   697   finite_extensional_funcset  ~>  finite_PiE
   698 
   699 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   700 
   701 * Theory Library/FinFun: theory of almost everywhere constant
   702 functions (supersedes the AFP entry "Code Generation for Functions as
   703 Data").
   704 
   705 * Theory Library/Phantom: generic phantom type to make a type
   706 parameter appear in a constant's type.  This alternative to adding
   707 TYPE('a) as another parameter avoids unnecessary closures in generated
   708 code.
   709 
   710 * Theory Library/RBT_Impl: efficient construction of red-black trees
   711 from sorted associative lists. Merging two trees with rbt_union may
   712 return a structurally different tree than before.  Potential
   713 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   714 
   715 * Theory Library/IArray: immutable arrays with code generation.
   716 
   717 * Theory Library/Finite_Lattice: theory of finite lattices.
   718 
   719 * HOL/Multivariate_Analysis: replaced
   720 
   721   "basis :: 'a::euclidean_space => nat => real"
   722   "\<Chi>\<Chi> :: (nat => real) => 'a::euclidean_space"
   723 
   724 on euclidean spaces by using the inner product "_ \<bullet> _" with
   725 vectors from the Basis set: "\<Chi>\<Chi> i. f i" is superseded by
   726 "SUM i : Basis. f i * r i".
   727 
   728   With this change the following constants are also changed or removed:
   729 
   730     DIM('a) :: nat  ~>  card (Basis :: 'a set)   (is an abbreviation)
   731     a $$ i  ~>  inner a i  (where i : Basis)
   732     cart_base i  removed
   733     \<pi>, \<pi>'  removed
   734 
   735   Theorems about these constants where removed.
   736 
   737   Renamed lemmas:
   738 
   739     component_le_norm  ~>  Basis_le_norm
   740     euclidean_eq  ~>  euclidean_eq_iff
   741     differential_zero_maxmin_component  ~>  differential_zero_maxmin_cart
   742     euclidean_simps  ~>  inner_simps
   743     independent_basis  ~>  independent_Basis
   744     span_basis  ~>  span_Basis
   745     in_span_basis  ~>  in_span_Basis
   746     norm_bound_component_le  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_le
   747     norm_bound_component_lt  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_lt
   748     component_le_infnorm  ~>  Basis_le_infnorm
   749 
   750 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   751 
   752 * HOL/Probability:
   753 
   754   - Added simproc "measurable" to automatically prove measurability.
   755 
   756   - Added induction rules for sigma sets with disjoint union
   757     (sigma_sets_induct_disjoint) and for Borel-measurable functions
   758     (borel_measurable_induct).
   759 
   760   - Added the Daniell-Kolmogorov theorem (the existence the limit of a
   761     projective family).
   762 
   763 * HOL/Cardinals: Theories of ordinals and cardinals (supersedes the
   764 AFP entry "Ordinals_and_Cardinals").
   765 
   766 * HOL/BNF: New (co)datatype package based on bounded natural functors
   767 with support for mixed, nested recursion and interesting non-free
   768 datatypes.
   769 
   770 * HOL/Finite_Set and Relation: added new set and relation operations
   771 expressed by Finite_Set.fold.
   772 
   773 * New theory HOL/Library/RBT_Set: implementation of sets by red-black
   774 trees for the code generator.
   775 
   776 * HOL/Library/RBT and HOL/Library/Mapping have been converted to
   777 Lifting/Transfer.
   778 possible INCOMPATIBILITY.
   779 
   780 * HOL/Set: renamed Set.project -> Set.filter
   781 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   782 
   783 
   784 *** Document preparation ***
   785 
   786 * Dropped legacy antiquotations "term_style" and "thm_style", since
   787 styles may be given as arguments to "term" and "thm" already.
   788 Discontinued legacy styles "prem1" .. "prem19".
   789 
   790 * Default LaTeX rendering for \<euro> is now based on eurosym package,
   791 instead of slightly exotic babel/greek.
   792 
   793 * Document variant NAME may use different LaTeX entry point
   794 document/root_NAME.tex if that file exists, instead of the common
   795 document/root.tex.
   796 
   797 * Simplified custom document/build script, instead of old-style
   798 document/IsaMakefile.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   799 
   800 
   801 *** ML ***
   802 
   803 * The default limit for maximum number of worker threads is now 8,
   804 instead of 4, in correspondence to capabilities of contemporary
   805 hardware and Poly/ML runtime system.
   806 
   807 * Type Seq.results and related operations support embedded error
   808 messages within lazy enumerations, and thus allow to provide
   809 informative errors in the absence of any usable results.
   810 
   811 * Renamed Position.str_of to Position.here to emphasize that this is a
   812 formal device to inline positions into message text, but not
   813 necessarily printing visible text.
   814 
   815 
   816 *** System ***
   817 
   818 * Advanced support for Isabelle sessions and build management, see
   819 "system" manual for the chapter of that name, especially the "isabelle
   820 build" tool and its examples.  The "isabelle mkroot" tool prepares
   821 session root directories for use with "isabelle build", similar to
   822 former "isabelle mkdir" for "isabelle usedir".  Note that this affects
   823 document preparation as well.  INCOMPATIBILITY, isabelle usedir /
   824 mkdir / make are rendered obsolete.
   825 
   826 * Discontinued obsolete Isabelle/build script, it is superseded by the
   827 regular isabelle build tool.  For example:
   828 
   829   isabelle build -s -b HOL
   830 
   831 * Discontinued obsolete "isabelle makeall".
   832 
   833 * Discontinued obsolete IsaMakefile and ROOT.ML files from the
   834 Isabelle distribution, except for rudimentary src/HOL/IsaMakefile that
   835 provides some traditional targets that invoke "isabelle build".  Note
   836 that this is inefficient!  Applications of Isabelle/HOL involving
   837 "isabelle make" should be upgraded to use "isabelle build" directly.
   838 
   839 * The "isabelle options" tool prints Isabelle system options, as
   840 required for "isabelle build", for example.
   841 
   842 * The "isabelle logo" tool produces EPS and PDF format simultaneously.
   843 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY in command-line options.
   844 
   845 * The "isabelle install" tool has now a simpler command-line.  Minor
   846 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   847 
   848 * The "isabelle components" tool helps to resolve add-on components
   849 that are not bundled, or referenced from a bare-bones repository
   850 version of Isabelle.
   851 
   852 * Settings variable ISABELLE_PLATFORM_FAMILY refers to the general
   853 platform family: "linux", "macos", "windows".
   854 
   855 * The ML system is configured as regular component, and no longer
   856 picked up from some surrounding directory.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
   857 for home-made settings.
   858 
   859 * Improved ML runtime statistics (heap, threads, future tasks etc.).
   860 
   861 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2.1, which was the last version
   862 without exception positions and advanced ML compiler/toplevel
   863 configuration.
   864 
   865 * Discontinued special treatment of Proof General -- no longer guess
   866 PROOFGENERAL_HOME based on accidental file-system layout.  Minor
   867 INCOMPATIBILITY: provide PROOFGENERAL_HOME and PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS
   868 settings manually, or use a Proof General version that has been
   869 bundled as Isabelle component.
   870 
   871 
   872 
   873 New in Isabelle2012 (May 2012)
   874 ------------------------------
   875 
   876 *** General ***
   877 
   878 * Prover IDE (PIDE) improvements:
   879 
   880   - more robust Sledgehammer integration (as before the sledgehammer
   881     command-line needs to be typed into the source buffer)
   882   - markup for bound variables
   883   - markup for types of term variables (displayed as tooltips)
   884   - support for user-defined Isar commands within the running session
   885   - improved support for Unicode outside original 16bit range
   886     e.g. glyph for \<A> (thanks to jEdit 4.5.1)
   887 
   888 * Forward declaration of outer syntax keywords within the theory
   889 header -- minor INCOMPATIBILITY for user-defined commands.  Allow new
   890 commands to be used in the same theory where defined.
   891 
   892 * Auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for specifications with
   893 additional parameters and assumptions.  Such unnamed contexts may be
   894 nested within other targets, like 'theory', 'locale', 'class',
   895 'instantiation' etc.  Results from the local context are generalized
   896 accordingly and applied to the enclosing target context.  Example:
   897 
   898   context
   899     fixes x y z :: 'a
   900     assumes xy: "x = y" and yz: "y = z"
   901   begin
   902 
   903   lemma my_trans: "x = z" using xy yz by simp
   904 
   905   end
   906 
   907   thm my_trans
   908 
   909 The most basic application is to factor-out context elements of
   910 several fixes/assumes/shows theorem statements, e.g. see
   911 ~~/src/HOL/Isar_Examples/Group_Context.thy
   912 
   913 Any other local theory specification element works within the "context
   914 ... begin ... end" block as well.
   915 
   916 * Bundled declarations associate attributed fact expressions with a
   917 given name in the context.  These may be later included in other
   918 contexts.  This allows to manage context extensions casually, without
   919 the logical dependencies of locales and locale interpretation.  See
   920 commands 'bundle', 'include', 'including' etc. in the isar-ref manual.
   921 
   922 * Commands 'lemmas' and 'theorems' allow local variables using 'for'
   923 declaration, and results are standardized before being stored.  Thus
   924 old-style "standard" after instantiation or composition of facts
   925 becomes obsolete.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, due to potential change of
   926 indices of schematic variables.
   927 
   928 * Rule attributes in local theory declarations (e.g. locale or class)
   929 are now statically evaluated: the resulting theorem is stored instead
   930 of the original expression.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
   931 the historic accident of dynamic re-evaluation in interpretations
   932 etc. was exploited.
   933 
   934 * New tutorial "Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL"
   935 ("prog-prove").  It completely supersedes "A Tutorial Introduction to
   936 Structured Isar Proofs" ("isar-overview"), which has been removed.  It
   937 also supersedes "Isabelle/HOL, A Proof Assistant for Higher-Order
   938 Logic" as the recommended beginners tutorial, but does not cover all
   939 of the material of that old tutorial.
   940 
   941 * Updated and extended reference manuals: "isar-ref",
   942 "implementation", "system"; reduced remaining material in old "ref"
   943 manual.
   944 
   945 
   946 *** Pure ***
   947 
   948 * Command 'definition' no longer exports the foundational "raw_def"
   949 into the user context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, may use the regular
   950 "def" result with attribute "abs_def" to imitate the old version.
   951 
   952 * Attribute "abs_def" turns an equation of the form "f x y == t" into
   953 "f == %x y. t", which ensures that "simp" or "unfold" steps always
   954 expand it.  This also works for object-logic equality.  (Formerly
   955 undocumented feature.)
   956 
   957 * Sort constraints are now propagated in simultaneous statements, just
   958 like type constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
   959 distinct sorts used to be assigned accidentally.  For example:
   960 
   961   lemma "P (x::'a::foo)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"  -- "now illegal"
   962 
   963   lemma "P (x::'a)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"
   964     -- "now uniform 'a::bar instead of default sort for first occurrence (!)"
   965 
   966 * Rule composition via attribute "OF" (or ML functions OF/MRS) is more
   967 tolerant against multiple unifiers, as long as the final result is
   968 unique.  (As before, rules are composed in canonical right-to-left
   969 order to accommodate newly introduced premises.)
   970 
   971 * Renamed some inner syntax categories:
   972 
   973     num ~> num_token
   974     xnum ~> xnum_token
   975     xstr ~> str_token
   976 
   977 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that in practice "num_const" or
   978 "num_position" etc. are mainly used instead (which also include
   979 position information via constraints).
   980 
   981 * Simplified configuration options for syntax ambiguity: see
   982 "syntax_ambiguity_warning" and "syntax_ambiguity_limit" in isar-ref
   983 manual.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   984 
   985 * Discontinued configuration option "syntax_positions": atomic terms
   986 in parse trees are always annotated by position constraints.
   987 
   988 * Old code generator for SML and its commands 'code_module',
   989 'code_library', 'consts_code', 'types_code' have been discontinued.
   990 Use commands of the generic code generator instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   991 
   992 * Redundant attribute "code_inline" has been discontinued. Use
   993 "code_unfold" instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   994 
   995 * Dropped attribute "code_unfold_post" in favor of the its dual
   996 "code_abbrev", which yields a common pattern in definitions like
   997 
   998   definition [code_abbrev]: "f = t"
   999 
  1000 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1001 
  1002 * Obsolete 'types' command has been discontinued.  Use 'type_synonym'
  1003 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1004 
  1005 * Discontinued old "prems" fact, which used to refer to the accidental
  1006 collection of foundational premises in the context (already marked as
  1007 legacy since Isabelle2011).
  1008 
  1009 
  1010 *** HOL ***
  1011 
  1012 * Type 'a set is now a proper type constructor (just as before
  1013 Isabelle2008).  Definitions mem_def and Collect_def have disappeared.
  1014 Non-trivial INCOMPATIBILITY.  For developments keeping predicates and
  1015 sets separate, it is often sufficient to rephrase some set S that has
  1016 been accidentally used as predicates by "%x. x : S", and some
  1017 predicate P that has been accidentally used as set by "{x. P x}".
  1018 Corresponding proofs in a first step should be pruned from any
  1019 tinkering with former theorems mem_def and Collect_def as far as
  1020 possible.
  1021 
  1022 For developments which deliberately mix predicates and sets, a
  1023 planning step is necessary to determine what should become a predicate
  1024 and what a set.  It can be helpful to carry out that step in
  1025 Isabelle2011-1 before jumping right into the current release.
  1026 
  1027 * Code generation by default implements sets as container type rather
  1028 than predicates.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1029 
  1030 * New type synonym 'a rel = ('a * 'a) set
  1031 
  1032 * The representation of numerals has changed.  Datatype "num"
  1033 represents strictly positive binary numerals, along with functions
  1034 "numeral :: num => 'a" and "neg_numeral :: num => 'a" to represent
  1035 positive and negated numeric literals, respectively.  See also
  1036 definitions in ~~/src/HOL/Num.thy.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, some
  1037 user theories may require adaptations as follows:
  1038 
  1039   - Theorems with number_ring or number_semiring constraints: These
  1040     classes are gone; use comm_ring_1 or comm_semiring_1 instead.
  1041 
  1042   - Theories defining numeric types: Remove number, number_semiring,
  1043     and number_ring instances. Defer all theorems about numerals until
  1044     after classes one and semigroup_add have been instantiated.
  1045 
  1046   - Numeral-only simp rules: Replace each rule having a "number_of v"
  1047     pattern with two copies, one for numeral and one for neg_numeral.
  1048 
  1049   - Theorems about subclasses of semiring_1 or ring_1: These classes
  1050     automatically support numerals now, so more simp rules and
  1051     simprocs may now apply within the proof.
  1052 
  1053   - Definitions and theorems using old constructors Pls/Min/Bit0/Bit1:
  1054     Redefine using other integer operations.
  1055 
  1056 * Transfer: New package intended to generalize the existing
  1057 "descending" method and related theorem attributes from the Quotient
  1058 package.  (Not all functionality is implemented yet, but future
  1059 development will focus on Transfer as an eventual replacement for the
  1060 corresponding parts of the Quotient package.)
  1061 
  1062   - transfer_rule attribute: Maintains a collection of transfer rules,
  1063     which relate constants at two different types. Transfer rules may
  1064     relate different type instances of the same polymorphic constant,
  1065     or they may relate an operation on a raw type to a corresponding
  1066     operation on an abstract type (quotient or subtype). For example:
  1067 
  1068     ((A ===> B) ===> list_all2 A ===> list_all2 B) map map
  1069     (cr_int ===> cr_int ===> cr_int) (%(x,y) (u,v). (x+u, y+v)) plus_int
  1070 
  1071   - transfer method: Replaces a subgoal on abstract types with an
  1072     equivalent subgoal on the corresponding raw types. Constants are
  1073     replaced with corresponding ones according to the transfer rules.
  1074     Goals are generalized over all free variables by default; this is
  1075     necessary for variables whose types change, but can be overridden
  1076     for specific variables with e.g. "transfer fixing: x y z".  The
  1077     variant transfer' method allows replacing a subgoal with one that
  1078     is logically stronger (rather than equivalent).
  1079 
  1080   - relator_eq attribute: Collects identity laws for relators of
  1081     various type constructors, e.g. "list_all2 (op =) = (op =)".  The
  1082     transfer method uses these lemmas to infer transfer rules for
  1083     non-polymorphic constants on the fly.
  1084 
  1085   - transfer_prover method: Assists with proving a transfer rule for a
  1086     new constant, provided the constant is defined in terms of other
  1087     constants that already have transfer rules. It should be applied
  1088     after unfolding the constant definitions.
  1089 
  1090   - HOL/ex/Transfer_Int_Nat.thy: Example theory demonstrating transfer
  1091     from type nat to type int.
  1092 
  1093 * Lifting: New package intended to generalize the quotient_definition
  1094 facility of the Quotient package; designed to work with Transfer.
  1095 
  1096   - lift_definition command: Defines operations on an abstract type in
  1097     terms of a corresponding operation on a representation
  1098     type.  Example syntax:
  1099 
  1100     lift_definition dlist_insert :: "'a => 'a dlist => 'a dlist"
  1101       is List.insert
  1102 
  1103     Users must discharge a respectfulness proof obligation when each
  1104     constant is defined. (For a type copy, i.e. a typedef with UNIV,
  1105     the proof is discharged automatically.) The obligation is
  1106     presented in a user-friendly, readable form; a respectfulness
  1107     theorem in the standard format and a transfer rule are generated
  1108     by the package.
  1109 
  1110   - Integration with code_abstype: For typedefs (e.g. subtypes
  1111     corresponding to a datatype invariant, such as dlist),
  1112     lift_definition generates a code certificate theorem and sets up
  1113     code generation for each constant.
  1114 
  1115   - setup_lifting command: Sets up the Lifting package to work with a
  1116     user-defined type. The user must provide either a quotient theorem
  1117     or a type_definition theorem.  The package configures transfer
  1118     rules for equality and quantifiers on the type, and sets up the
  1119     lift_definition command to work with the type.
  1120 
  1121   - Usage examples: See Quotient_Examples/Lift_DList.thy,
  1122     Quotient_Examples/Lift_RBT.thy, Quotient_Examples/Lift_FSet.thy,
  1123     Word/Word.thy and Library/Float.thy.
  1124 
  1125 * Quotient package:
  1126 
  1127   - The 'quotient_type' command now supports a 'morphisms' option with
  1128     rep and abs functions, similar to typedef.
  1129 
  1130   - 'quotient_type' sets up new types to work with the Lifting and
  1131     Transfer packages, as with 'setup_lifting'.
  1132 
  1133   - The 'quotient_definition' command now requires the user to prove a
  1134     respectfulness property at the point where the constant is
  1135     defined, similar to lift_definition; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1136 
  1137   - Renamed predicate 'Quotient' to 'Quotient3', and renamed theorems
  1138     accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1139 
  1140 * New diagnostic command 'find_unused_assms' to find potentially
  1141 superfluous assumptions in theorems using Quickcheck.
  1142 
  1143 * Quickcheck:
  1144 
  1145   - Quickcheck returns variable assignments as counterexamples, which
  1146     allows to reveal the underspecification of functions under test.
  1147     For example, refuting "hd xs = x", it presents the variable
  1148     assignment xs = [] and x = a1 as a counterexample, assuming that
  1149     any property is false whenever "hd []" occurs in it.
  1150 
  1151     These counterexample are marked as potentially spurious, as
  1152     Quickcheck also returns "xs = []" as a counterexample to the
  1153     obvious theorem "hd xs = hd xs".
  1154 
  1155     After finding a potentially spurious counterexample, Quickcheck
  1156     continues searching for genuine ones.
  1157 
  1158     By default, Quickcheck shows potentially spurious and genuine
  1159     counterexamples. The option "genuine_only" sets quickcheck to only
  1160     show genuine counterexamples.
  1161 
  1162   - The command 'quickcheck_generator' creates random and exhaustive
  1163     value generators for a given type and operations.
  1164 
  1165     It generates values by using the operations as if they were
  1166     constructors of that type.
  1167 
  1168   - Support for multisets.
  1169 
  1170   - Added "use_subtype" options.
  1171 
  1172   - Added "quickcheck_locale" configuration to specify how to process
  1173     conjectures in a locale context.
  1174 
  1175 * Nitpick: Fixed infinite loop caused by the 'peephole_optim' option
  1176 and affecting 'rat' and 'real'.
  1177 
  1178 * Sledgehammer:
  1179   - Integrated more tightly with SPASS, as described in the ITP 2012
  1180     paper "More SPASS with Isabelle".
  1181   - Made it try "smt" as a fallback if "metis" fails or times out.
  1182   - Added support for the following provers: Alt-Ergo (via Why3 and
  1183     TFF1), iProver, iProver-Eq.
  1184   - Sped up the minimizer.
  1185   - Added "lam_trans", "uncurry_aliases", and "minimize" options.
  1186   - Renamed "slicing" ("no_slicing") option to "slice" ("dont_slice").
  1187   - Renamed "sound" option to "strict".
  1188 
  1189 * Metis: Added possibility to specify lambda translations scheme as a
  1190 parenthesized argument (e.g., "by (metis (lifting) ...)").
  1191 
  1192 * SMT: Renamed "smt_fixed" option to "smt_read_only_certificates".
  1193 
  1194 * Command 'try0': Renamed from 'try_methods'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1195 
  1196 * New "case_product" attribute to generate a case rule doing multiple
  1197 case distinctions at the same time.  E.g.
  1198 
  1199   list.exhaust [case_product nat.exhaust]
  1200 
  1201 produces a rule which can be used to perform case distinction on both
  1202 a list and a nat.
  1203 
  1204 * New "eventually_elim" method as a generalized variant of the
  1205 eventually_elim* rules.  Supports structured proofs.
  1206 
  1207 * Typedef with implicit set definition is considered legacy.  Use
  1208 "typedef (open)" form instead, which will eventually become the
  1209 default.
  1210 
  1211 * Record: code generation can be switched off manually with
  1212 
  1213   declare [[record_coden = false]]  -- "default true"
  1214 
  1215 * Datatype: type parameters allow explicit sort constraints.
  1216 
  1217 * Concrete syntax for case expressions includes constraints for source
  1218 positions, and thus produces Prover IDE markup for its bindings.
  1219 INCOMPATIBILITY for old-style syntax translations that augment the
  1220 pattern notation; e.g. see src/HOL/HOLCF/One.thy for translations of
  1221 one_case.
  1222 
  1223 * Clarified attribute "mono_set": pure declaration without modifying
  1224 the result of the fact expression.
  1225 
  1226 * More default pred/set conversions on a couple of relation operations
  1227 and predicates.  Added powers of predicate relations.  Consolidation
  1228 of some relation theorems:
  1229 
  1230   converse_def ~> converse_unfold
  1231   rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
  1232   symp_def ~> (modified, use symp_def and sym_def instead)
  1233   transp_def ~> transp_trans
  1234   Domain_def ~> Domain_unfold
  1235   Range_def ~> Domain_converse [symmetric]
  1236 
  1237 Generalized theorems INF_INT_eq, INF_INT_eq2, SUP_UN_eq, SUP_UN_eq2.
  1238 
  1239 See theory "Relation" for examples for making use of pred/set
  1240 conversions by means of attributes "to_set" and "to_pred".
  1241 
  1242 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1243 
  1244 * Renamed facts about the power operation on relations, i.e., relpow
  1245 to match the constant's name:
  1246 
  1247   rel_pow_1 ~> relpow_1
  1248   rel_pow_0_I ~> relpow_0_I
  1249   rel_pow_Suc_I ~> relpow_Suc_I
  1250   rel_pow_Suc_I2 ~> relpow_Suc_I2
  1251   rel_pow_0_E ~> relpow_0_E
  1252   rel_pow_Suc_E ~> relpow_Suc_E
  1253   rel_pow_E ~> relpow_E
  1254   rel_pow_Suc_D2 ~> relpow_Suc_D2
  1255   rel_pow_Suc_E2 ~> relpow_Suc_E2
  1256   rel_pow_Suc_D2' ~> relpow_Suc_D2'
  1257   rel_pow_E2 ~> relpow_E2
  1258   rel_pow_add ~> relpow_add
  1259   rel_pow_commute ~> relpow
  1260   rel_pow_empty ~> relpow_empty:
  1261   rtrancl_imp_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_imp_UN_relpow
  1262   rel_pow_imp_rtrancl ~> relpow_imp_rtrancl
  1263   rtrancl_is_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_is_UN_relpow
  1264   rtrancl_imp_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_imp_relpow
  1265   rel_pow_fun_conv ~> relpow_fun_conv
  1266   rel_pow_finite_bounded1 ~> relpow_finite_bounded1
  1267   rel_pow_finite_bounded ~> relpow_finite_bounded
  1268   rtrancl_finite_eq_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_finite_eq_relpow
  1269   trancl_finite_eq_rel_pow ~> trancl_finite_eq_relpow
  1270   single_valued_rel_pow ~> single_valued_relpow
  1271 
  1272 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1273 
  1274 * Theory Relation: Consolidated constant name for relation composition
  1275 and corresponding theorem names:
  1276 
  1277   - Renamed constant rel_comp to relcomp.
  1278 
  1279   - Dropped abbreviation pred_comp. Use relcompp instead.
  1280 
  1281   - Renamed theorems:
  1282 
  1283     rel_compI ~> relcompI
  1284     rel_compEpair ~> relcompEpair
  1285     rel_compE ~> relcompE
  1286     pred_comp_rel_comp_eq ~> relcompp_relcomp_eq
  1287     rel_comp_empty1 ~> relcomp_empty1
  1288     rel_comp_mono ~> relcomp_mono
  1289     rel_comp_subset_Sigma ~> relcomp_subset_Sigma
  1290     rel_comp_distrib ~> relcomp_distrib
  1291     rel_comp_distrib2 ~> relcomp_distrib2
  1292     rel_comp_UNION_distrib ~> relcomp_UNION_distrib
  1293     rel_comp_UNION_distrib2 ~> relcomp_UNION_distrib2
  1294     single_valued_rel_comp ~> single_valued_relcomp
  1295     rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
  1296     converse_rel_comp ~> converse_relcomp
  1297     pred_compI ~> relcomppI
  1298     pred_compE ~> relcomppE
  1299     pred_comp_bot1 ~> relcompp_bot1
  1300     pred_comp_bot2 ~> relcompp_bot2
  1301     transp_pred_comp_less_eq ~> transp_relcompp_less_eq
  1302     pred_comp_mono ~> relcompp_mono
  1303     pred_comp_distrib ~> relcompp_distrib
  1304     pred_comp_distrib2 ~> relcompp_distrib2
  1305     converse_pred_comp ~> converse_relcompp
  1306 
  1307     finite_rel_comp ~> finite_relcomp
  1308 
  1309     set_rel_comp ~> set_relcomp
  1310 
  1311 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1312 
  1313 * Theory Divides: Discontinued redundant theorems about div and mod.
  1314 INCOMPATIBILITY, use the corresponding generic theorems instead.
  1315 
  1316   DIVISION_BY_ZERO ~> div_by_0, mod_by_0
  1317   zdiv_self ~> div_self

  1624 
  1625 * Session HOL/IMP: Added new theory of abstract interpretation of

  1627 
  1628 * Session HOL-Import: Re-implementation from scratch is faster,

  1631 dead) Importer for HOL4 and HOL Light.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  1679 * Session HOL-Word: New proof method "word_bitwise" for splitting
  1680 machine word equalities and inequalities into logical circuits,
  1681 defined in HOL/Word/WordBitwise.thy.  Supports addition, subtraction,
  1682 multiplication, shifting by constants, bitwise operators and numeric
  1683 constants.  Requires fixed-length word types, not 'a word.  Solves
  1684 many standard word identities outright and converts more into first
  1685 order problems amenable to blast or similar.  See also examples in
  1686 HOL/Word/Examples/WordExamples.thy.
  1687 
  1688 * Session HOL-Probability: Introduced the type "'a measure" to
  1689 represent measures, this replaces the records 'a algebra and 'a
  1690 measure_space.  The locales based on subset_class now have two
  1691 locale-parameters the space \<Omega> and the set of measurable sets M.
  1692 The product of probability spaces uses now the same constant as the
  1693 finite product of sigma-finite measure spaces "PiM :: ('i => 'a)
  1694 measure".  Most constants are defined now outside of locales and gain
  1695 an additional parameter, like null_sets, almost_eventually or \<mu>'.
  1696 Measure space constructions for distributions and densities now got
  1697 their own constants distr and density.  Instead of using locales to
  1698 describe measure spaces with a finite space, the measure count_space
  1699 and point_measure is introduced.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1700 
  1701   Renamed constants:

  1861 * Session HOL-TPTP: support to parse and import TPTP problems (all
  1862 languages) into Isabelle/HOL.
  1863 
  1864 
  1865 *** FOL ***
  1866 
  1867 * New "case_product" attribute (see HOL).
  1868 
  1869 
  1870 *** ZF ***
  1871 
  1872 * Greater support for structured proofs involving induction or case
  1873 analysis.
  1874 
  1875 * Much greater use of mathematical symbols.
  1876 
  1877 * Removal of many ML theorem bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1878 
  1879 
  1880 *** ML ***
  1881 
  1882 * Antiquotation @{keyword "name"} produces a parser for outer syntax
  1883 from a minor keyword introduced via theory header declaration.
  1884 
  1885 * Antiquotation @{command_spec "name"} produces the
  1886 Outer_Syntax.command_spec from a major keyword introduced via theory
  1887 header declaration; it can be passed to Outer_Syntax.command etc.
  1888 
  1889 * Local_Theory.define no longer hard-wires default theorem name
  1890 "foo_def", but retains the binding as given.  If that is Binding.empty
  1891 / Attrib.empty_binding, the result is not registered as user-level
  1892 fact.  The Local_Theory.define_internal variant allows to specify a
  1893 non-empty name (used for the foundation in the background theory),
  1894 while omitting the fact binding in the user-context.  Potential
  1895 INCOMPATIBILITY for derived definitional packages: need to specify
  1896 naming policy for primitive definitions more explicitly.
  1897 
  1898 * Renamed Thm.capply to Thm.apply, and Thm.cabs to Thm.lambda in
  1899 conformance with similar operations in structure Term and Logic.
  1900 
  1901 * Antiquotation @{attributes [...]} embeds attribute source
  1902 representation into the ML text, which is particularly useful with
  1903 declarations like Local_Theory.note.
  1904 
  1905 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  1906 ProofContext has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1907 
  1908 * Refined Local_Theory.declaration {syntax, pervasive}, with subtle
  1909 change of semantics: update is applied to auxiliary local theory
  1910 context as well.
  1911 
  1912 * Modernized some old-style infix operations:
  1913 
  1914   addeqcongs    ~> Simplifier.add_eqcong
  1915   deleqcongs    ~> Simplifier.del_eqcong
  1916   addcongs      ~> Simplifier.add_cong
  1917   delcongs      ~> Simplifier.del_cong
  1918   setmksimps    ~> Simplifier.set_mksimps
  1919   setmkcong     ~> Simplifier.set_mkcong
  1920   setmksym      ~> Simplifier.set_mksym
  1921   setmkeqTrue   ~> Simplifier.set_mkeqTrue
  1922   settermless   ~> Simplifier.set_termless
  1923   setsubgoaler  ~> Simplifier.set_subgoaler
  1924   addsplits     ~> Splitter.add_split
  1925   delsplits     ~> Splitter.del_split
  1926 
  1927 
  1928 *** System ***
  1929 
  1930 * USER_HOME settings variable points to cross-platform user home
  1931 directory, which coincides with HOME on POSIX systems only.  Likewise,
  1932 the Isabelle path specification "~" now expands to $USER_HOME, instead
  1933 of former $HOME.  A different default for USER_HOME may be set
  1934 explicitly in shell environment, before Isabelle settings are
  1935 evaluated.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: need to adapt Isabelle path where
  1936 the generic user home was intended.
  1937 
  1938 * ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS refers to ISABELLE_HOME in windows file name
  1939 notation, which is useful for the jEdit file browser, for example.
  1940 
  1941 * ISABELLE_JDK_HOME settings variable points to JDK with javac and jar
  1942 (not just JRE).
  1943 
  1944 
  1945 
  1946 New in Isabelle2011-1 (October 2011)
  1947 ------------------------------------
  1948 
  1949 *** General ***
  1950 
  1951 * Improved Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE (PIDE), which can be invoked as
  1952 "isabelle jedit" or "ISABELLE_HOME/Isabelle" on the command line.
  1953 
  1954   - Management of multiple theory files directly from the editor
  1955     buffer store -- bypassing the file-system (no requirement to save
  1956     files for checking).
  1957 
  1958   - Markup of formal entities within the text buffer, with semantic
  1959     highlighting, tooltips and hyperlinks to jump to defining source
  1960     positions.
  1961 
  1962   - Improved text rendering, with sub/superscripts in the source
  1963     buffer (including support for copy/paste wrt. output panel, HTML
  1964     theory output and other non-Isabelle text boxes).
  1965 
  1966   - Refined scheduling of proof checking and printing of results,
  1967     based on interactive editor view.  (Note: jEdit folding and
  1968     narrowing allows to restrict buffer perspectives explicitly.)
  1969 
  1970   - Reduced CPU performance requirements, usable on machines with few
  1971     cores.
  1972 
  1973   - Reduced memory requirements due to pruning of unused document
  1974     versions (garbage collection).
  1975 
  1976 See also ~~/src/Tools/jEdit/README.html for further information,
  1977 including some remaining limitations.
  1978 
  1979 * Theory loader: source files are exclusively located via the master
  1980 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  1981 The global load path (such as src/HOL/Library) has been discontinued.
  1982 Note that the path element ~~ may be used to reference theories in the
  1983 Isabelle home folder -- for instance, "~~/src/HOL/Library/FuncSet".
  1984 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1985 
  1986 * Theory loader: source files are identified by content via SHA1
  1987 digests.  Discontinued former path/modtime identification and optional
  1988 ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT plugin scripts.
  1989 
  1990 * Parallelization of nested Isar proofs is subject to
  1991 Goal.parallel_proofs_threshold (default 100).  See also isabelle
  1992 usedir option -Q.
  1993 
  1994 * Name space: former unsynchronized references are now proper
  1995 configuration options, with more conventional names:
  1996 
  1997   long_names   ~> names_long
  1998   short_names  ~> names_short
  1999   unique_names ~> names_unique
  2000 
  2001 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, need to declare options in context like this:
  2002 
  2003   declare [[names_unique = false]]
  2004 
  2005 * Literal facts `prop` may contain dummy patterns, e.g. `_ = _`.  Note
  2006 that the result needs to be unique, which means fact specifications
  2007 may have to be refined after enriching a proof context.
  2008 
  2009 * Attribute "case_names" has been refined: the assumptions in each case
  2010 can be named now by following the case name with [name1 name2 ...].
  2011 
  2012 * Isabelle/Isar reference manual has been updated and extended:
  2013   - "Synopsis" provides a catalog of main Isar language concepts.
  2014   - Formal references in syntax diagrams, via @{rail} antiquotation.
  2015   - Updated material from classic "ref" manual, notably about
  2016     "Classical Reasoner".
  2017 
  2018 
  2019 *** HOL ***
  2020 
  2021 * Class bot and top require underlying partial order rather than
  2022 preorder: uniqueness of bot and top is guaranteed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2023 
  2024 * Class complete_lattice: generalized a couple of lemmas from sets;
  2025 generalized theorems INF_cong and SUP_cong.  New type classes for
  2026 complete boolean algebras and complete linear orders.  Lemmas
  2027 Inf_less_iff, less_Sup_iff, INF_less_iff, less_SUP_iff now reside in
  2028 class complete_linorder.
  2029 
  2030 Changed proposition of lemmas Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, Inf_fun_def,
  2031 Sup_fun_def, Inf_apply, Sup_apply.
  2032 
  2033 Removed redundant lemmas (the right hand side gives hints how to
  2034 replace them for (metis ...), or (simp only: ...) proofs):
  2035 
  2036   Inf_singleton ~> Inf_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Inf_empty inf_top_right]
  2037   Sup_singleton ~> Sup_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Sup_empty sup_bot_right]
  2038   Inf_binary ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  2039   Sup_binary ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  2040   Int_eq_Inter ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  2041   Un_eq_Union ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  2042   Inter_def ~> INF_def, image_def
  2043   Union_def ~> SUP_def, image_def
  2044   INT_eq ~> INF_def, and image_def
  2045   UN_eq ~> SUP_def, and image_def
  2046   INF_subset ~> INF_superset_mono [OF _ order_refl]
  2047 
  2048 More consistent and comprehensive names:
  2049 
  2050   INTER_eq_Inter_image ~> INF_def
  2051   UNION_eq_Union_image ~> SUP_def
  2052   INFI_def ~> INF_def

  2066 
  2067 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2068 
  2069 * Renamed theory Complete_Lattice to Complete_Lattices.
  2070 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2071 
  2072 * Theory Complete_Lattices: lemmas Inf_eq_top_iff, INF_eq_top_iff,
  2073 INF_image, Inf_insert, INF_top, Inf_top_conv, INF_top_conv, SUP_bot,
  2074 Sup_bot_conv, SUP_bot_conv, Sup_eq_top_iff, SUP_eq_top_iff, SUP_image,
  2075 Sup_insert are now declared as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2076 
  2077 * Theory Lattice: lemmas compl_inf_bot, compl_le_comp_iff,
  2078 compl_sup_top, inf_idem, inf_left_idem, inf_sup_absorb, sup_idem,
  2079 sup_inf_absob, sup_left_idem are now declared as [simp].  Minor
  2080 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2081 
  2082 * Added syntactic classes "inf" and "sup" for the respective
  2083 constants.  INCOMPATIBILITY: Changes in the argument order of the
  2084 (mostly internal) locale predicates for some derived classes.
  2085 
  2086 * Theorem collections ball_simps and bex_simps do not contain theorems
  2087 referring to UNION any longer; these have been moved to collection
  2088 UN_ball_bex_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2089 
  2090 * Theory Archimedean_Field: floor now is defined as parameter of a
  2091 separate type class floor_ceiling.
  2092 
  2093 * Theory Finite_Set: more coherent development of fold_set locales:
  2094 
  2095     locale fun_left_comm ~> locale comp_fun_commute
  2096     locale fun_left_comm_idem ~> locale comp_fun_idem
  2097 
  2098 Both use point-free characterization; interpretation proofs may need
  2099 adjustment.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2100 
  2101 * Theory Limits: Type "'a net" has been renamed to "'a filter", in
  2102 accordance with standard mathematical terminology. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2103 
  2104 * Theory Complex_Main: The locale interpretations for the
  2105 bounded_linear and bounded_bilinear locales have been removed, in
  2106 order to reduce the number of duplicate lemmas. Users must use the
  2107 original names for distributivity theorems, potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2202 
  2203 * Theory Complex_Main: The definition of infinite series was
  2204 generalized.  Now it is defined on the type class {topological_space,
  2205 comm_monoid_add}.  Hence it is useable also for extended real numbers.
  2206 
  2207 * Theory Complex_Main: The complex exponential function "expi" is now
  2208 a type-constrained abbreviation for "exp :: complex => complex"; thus
  2209 several polymorphic lemmas about "exp" are now applicable to "expi".
  2210 
  2211 * Code generation:
  2212 
  2213   - Theory Library/Code_Char_ord provides native ordering of
  2214     characters in the target language.
  2215 
  2216   - Commands code_module and code_library are legacy, use export_code
  2217     instead.
  2218 
  2219   - Method "evaluation" is legacy, use method "eval" instead.
  2220 
  2221   - Legacy evaluator "SML" is deactivated by default.  May be
  2222     reactivated by the following theory command:
  2223 
  2224       setup {* Value.add_evaluator ("SML", Codegen.eval_term) *}
  2225 
  2226 * Declare ext [intro] by default.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2227 
  2228 * New proof method "induction" that gives induction hypotheses the
  2229 name "IH", thus distinguishing them from further hypotheses that come
  2230 from rule induction.  The latter are still called "hyps".  Method
  2231 "induction" is a thin wrapper around "induct" and follows the same
  2232 syntax.
  2233 
  2234 * Method "fastsimp" has been renamed to "fastforce", but "fastsimp" is
  2235 still available as a legacy feature for some time.
  2236 
  2237 * Nitpick:
  2238   - Added "need" and "total_consts" options.
  2239   - Reintroduced "show_skolems" option by popular demand.
  2240   - Renamed attribute: nitpick_def ~> nitpick_unfold.
  2241     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2242 
  2243 * Sledgehammer:
  2244   - Use quasi-sound (and efficient) translations by default.
  2245   - Added support for the following provers: E-ToFoF, LEO-II,
  2246     Satallax, SNARK, Waldmeister, and Z3 with TPTP syntax.
  2247   - Automatically preplay and minimize proofs before showing them if
  2248     this can be done within reasonable time.
  2249   - sledgehammer available_provers ~> sledgehammer supported_provers.
  2250     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2251   - Added "preplay_timeout", "slicing", "type_enc", "sound",
  2252     "max_mono_iters", and "max_new_mono_instances" options.
  2253   - Removed "explicit_apply" and "full_types" options as well as "Full
  2254     Types" Proof General menu item. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2255 
  2256 * Metis:
  2257   - Removed "metisF" -- use "metis" instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2258   - Obsoleted "metisFT" -- use "metis (full_types)" instead.
  2259     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2260 
  2261 * Command 'try':
  2262   - Renamed 'try_methods' and added "simp:", "intro:", "dest:", and
  2263     "elim:" options. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2264   - Introduced 'try' that not only runs 'try_methods' but also
  2265     'solve_direct', 'sledgehammer', 'quickcheck', and 'nitpick'.
  2266 
  2267 * Quickcheck:
  2268   - Added "eval" option to evaluate terms for the found counterexample
  2269     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  2270   - Added post-processing of terms to obtain readable counterexamples
  2271     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  2272   - New counterexample generator quickcheck[narrowing] enables
  2273     narrowing-based testing.  Requires the Glasgow Haskell compiler
  2274     with its installation location defined in the Isabelle settings
  2275     environment as ISABELLE_GHC.
  2276   - Removed quickcheck tester "SML" based on the SML code generator
  2277     (formly in HOL/Library).
  2278 
  2279 * Function package: discontinued option "tailrec".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  2280 use 'partial_function' instead.
  2281 
  2282 * Theory Library/Extended_Reals replaces now the positive extended
  2283 reals found in probability theory. This file is extended by
  2284 Multivariate_Analysis/Extended_Real_Limits.
  2285 
  2286 * Theory Library/Old_Recdef: old 'recdef' package has been moved here,
  2287 from where it must be imported explicitly if it is really required.
  2288 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2289 
  2290 * Theory Library/Wfrec: well-founded recursion combinator "wfrec" has
  2291 been moved here.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2292 
  2293 * Theory Library/Saturated provides type of numbers with saturated
  2294 arithmetic.
  2295 
  2296 * Theory Library/Product_Lattice defines a pointwise ordering for the
  2297 product type 'a * 'b, and provides instance proofs for various order
  2298 and lattice type classes.
  2299 
  2300 * Theory Library/Countable now provides the "countable_datatype" proof
  2301 method for proving "countable" class instances for datatypes.
  2302 
  2303 * Theory Library/Cset_Monad allows do notation for computable sets
  2304 (cset) via the generic monad ad-hoc overloading facility.
  2305 
  2306 * Library: Theories of common data structures are split into theories
  2307 for implementation, an invariant-ensuring type, and connection to an
  2308 abstract type. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2309 
  2310   - RBT is split into RBT and RBT_Mapping.
  2311   - AssocList is split and renamed into AList and AList_Mapping.
  2312   - DList is split into DList_Impl, DList, and DList_Cset.
  2313   - Cset is split into Cset and List_Cset.
  2314 
  2315 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity has been renamed to
  2316 Library/Extended_Nat, with name changes of the following types and
  2317 constants:
  2318 
  2319   type inat   ~> type enat
  2320   Fin         ~> enat
  2321   Infty       ~> infinity (overloaded)
  2322   iSuc        ~> eSuc
  2323   the_Fin     ~> the_enat
  2324 
  2325 Every theorem name containing "inat", "Fin", "Infty", or "iSuc" has
  2326 been renamed accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2327 
  2328 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: The euclidean_space type class now
  2329 fixes a constant "Basis :: 'a set" consisting of the standard
  2330 orthonormal basis for the type. Users now have the option of
  2331 quantifying over this set instead of using the "basis" function, e.g.
  2332 "ALL x:Basis. P x" vs "ALL i<DIM('a). P (basis i)".
  2333 
  2334 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Type "('a, 'b) cart" has been renamed
  2335 to "('a, 'b) vec" (the syntax "'a ^ 'b" remains unaffected). Constants
  2336 "Cart_nth" and "Cart_lambda" have been respectively renamed to
  2337 "vec_nth" and "vec_lambda"; theorems mentioning those names have
  2338 changed to match. Definition theorems for overloaded constants now use
  2339 the standard "foo_vec_def" naming scheme. A few other theorems have
  2340 been renamed as follows (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  2341 
  2342   Cart_eq          ~> vec_eq_iff
  2343   dist_nth_le_cart ~> dist_vec_nth_le
  2344   tendsto_vector   ~> vec_tendstoI
  2345   Cauchy_vector    ~> vec_CauchyI
  2346 
  2347 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Several duplicate theorems have been
  2348 removed, and other theorems have been renamed or replaced with more
  2349 general versions. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2403 * Session HOL-Probability:
  2404   - Caratheodory's extension lemma is now proved for ring_of_sets.
  2405   - Infinite products of probability measures are now available.
  2406   - Sigma closure is independent, if the generator is independent
  2407   - Use extended reals instead of positive extended
  2408     reals. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2440 
  2441 * Antiquotation @{rail} layouts railroad syntax diagrams, see also
  2442 isar-ref manual, both for description and actual application of the
  2443 same.
  2444 
  2445 * Antiquotation @{value} evaluates the given term and presents its
  2446 result.
  2447 
  2448 * Antiquotations: term style "isub" provides ad-hoc conversion of
  2449 variables x1, y23 into subscripted form x\<^isub>1,
  2450 y\<^isub>2\<^isub>3.
  2451 
  2452 * Predefined LaTeX macros for Isabelle symbols \<bind> and \<then>
  2453 (e.g. see ~~/src/HOL/Library/Monad_Syntax.thy).
  2454 
  2455 * Localized \isabellestyle switch can be used within blocks or groups
  2456 like this:
  2457 
  2458   \isabellestyle{it}  %preferred default
  2459   {\isabellestylett @{text "typewriter stuff"}}
  2460 
  2461 * Discontinued special treatment of hard tabulators.  Implicit
  2462 tab-width is now defined as 1.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for visual
  2463 layouts.
  2464 
  2465 
  2466 *** ML ***
  2467 
  2468 * The inner syntax of sort/type/term/prop supports inlined YXML
  2469 representations within quoted string tokens.  By encoding logical
  2470 entities via Term_XML (in ML or Scala) concrete syntax can be
  2471 bypassed, which is particularly useful for producing bits of text
  2472 under external program control.
  2473 
  2474 * Antiquotations for ML and document preparation are managed as theory
  2475 data, which requires explicit setup.
  2476 
  2477 * Isabelle_Process.is_active allows tools to check if the official
  2478 process wrapper is running (Isabelle/Scala/jEdit) or the old TTY loop
  2479 (better known as Proof General).
  2480 
  2481 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  2482 ProofContext is still available for some time as legacy alias.
  2483 
  2484 * Structure Timing provides various operations for timing; supersedes
  2485 former start_timing/end_timing etc.
  2486 
  2487 * Path.print is the official way to show file-system paths to users
  2488 (including quotes etc.).

  2490 * Inner syntax: identifiers in parse trees of generic categories
  2491 "logic", "aprop", "idt" etc. carry position information (disguised as
  2492 type constraints).  Occasional INCOMPATIBILITY with non-compliant
  2493 translations that choke on unexpected type constraints.  Positions can
  2494 be stripped in ML translations via Syntax.strip_positions /
  2495 Syntax.strip_positions_ast, or via the syntax constant
  2496 "_strip_positions" within parse trees.  As last resort, positions can
  2497 be disabled via the configuration option Syntax.positions, which is
  2498 called "syntax_positions" in Isar attribute syntax.
  2499 
  2500 * Discontinued special status of various ML structures that contribute
  2501 to structure Syntax (Ast, Lexicon, Mixfix, Parser, Printer etc.): less
  2502 pervasive content, no inclusion in structure Syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  2503 refer directly to Ast.Constant, Lexicon.is_identifier,
  2504 Syntax_Trans.mk_binder_tr etc.
  2505 
  2506 * Typed print translation: discontinued show_sorts argument, which is
  2507 already available via context of "advanced" translation.
  2508 
  2509 * Refined PARALLEL_GOALS tactical: degrades gracefully for schematic
  2510 goal states; body tactic needs to address all subgoals uniformly.
  2511 
  2512 * Slightly more special eq_list/eq_set, with shortcut involving
  2513 pointer equality (assumes that eq relation is reflexive).
  2514 
  2515 * Classical tactics use proper Proof.context instead of historic types
  2516 claset/clasimpset.  Old-style declarations like addIs, addEs, addDs
  2517 operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type claset retains its use as
  2518 snapshot of the classical context, which can be recovered via
  2519 (put_claset HOL_cs) etc.  Type clasimpset has been discontinued.
  2520 INCOMPATIBILITY, classical tactics and derived proof methods require
  2521 proper Proof.context.
  2522 
  2523 
  2524 *** System ***
  2525 
  2526 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2, which was the last version
  2527 without proper multithreading and TimeLimit implementation.
  2528 
  2529 * Discontinued old lib/scripts/polyml-platform, which has been
  2530 obsolete since Isabelle2009-2.
  2531 
  2532 * Various optional external tools are referenced more robustly and
  2533 uniformly by explicit Isabelle settings as follows:
  2534 
  2535   ISABELLE_CSDP   (formerly CSDP_EXE)
  2536   ISABELLE_GHC    (formerly EXEC_GHC or GHC_PATH)
  2537   ISABELLE_OCAML  (formerly EXEC_OCAML)
  2538   ISABELLE_SWIPL  (formerly EXEC_SWIPL)
  2539   ISABELLE_YAP    (formerly EXEC_YAP)
  2540 
  2541 Note that automated detection from the file-system or search path has
  2542 been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2543 
  2544 * Scala layer provides JVM method invocation service for static
  2545 methods of type (String)String, see Invoke_Scala.method in ML.  For
  2546 example:
  2547 
  2548   Invoke_Scala.method "java.lang.System.getProperty" "java.home"
  2549 
  2550 Together with YXML.string_of_body/parse_body and XML.Encode/Decode
  2551 this allows to pass structured values between ML and Scala.
  2552 
  2553 * The IsabelleText fonts includes some further glyphs to support the
  2554 Prover IDE.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: users who happen to have
  2555 installed a local copy (which is normally *not* required) need to
  2556 delete or update it from ~~/lib/fonts/.
  2557 
  2558 
  2559 
  2560 New in Isabelle2011 (January 2011)
  2561 ----------------------------------
  2562 
  2563 *** General ***
  2564 
  2565 * Experimental Prover IDE based on Isabelle/Scala and jEdit (see
  2566 src/Tools/jEdit).  This also serves as IDE for Isabelle/ML, with
  2567 useful tooltips and hyperlinks produced from its static analysis.  The
  2568 bundled component provides an executable Isabelle tool that can be run
  2569 like this:
  2570 
  2571   Isabelle2011/bin/isabelle jedit
  2572 
  2573 * Significantly improved Isabelle/Isar implementation manual.
  2574 
  2575 * System settings: ISABELLE_HOME_USER now includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER
  2576 (and thus refers to something like $HOME/.isabelle/Isabelle2011),
  2577 while the default heap location within that directory lacks that extra
  2578 suffix.  This isolates multiple Isabelle installations from each
  2579 other, avoiding problems with old settings in new versions.
  2580 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to copy/upgrade old user settings manually.
  2581 
  2582 * Source files are always encoded as UTF-8, instead of old-fashioned
  2583 ISO-Latin-1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Isabelle LaTeX documents might require
  2584 the following package declarations:
  2585 
  2586   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
  2587   \usepackage{textcomp}
  2588 
  2589 * Explicit treatment of UTF-8 sequences as Isabelle symbols, such that
  2590 a Unicode character is treated as a single symbol, not a sequence of
  2591 non-ASCII bytes as before.  Since Isabelle/ML string literals may
  2592 contain symbols without further backslash escapes, Unicode can now be
  2593 used here as well.  Recall that Symbol.explode in ML provides a
  2594 consistent view on symbols, while raw explode (or String.explode)
  2595 merely give a byte-oriented representation.
  2596 
  2597 * Theory loader: source files are primarily located via the master
  2598 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  2599 The global load path is still partially available as legacy feature.
  2600 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY due to subtle change in file lookup: use
  2601 explicit paths, relatively to the theory.
  2602 
  2603 * Special treatment of ML file names has been discontinued.
  2604 Historically, optional extensions .ML or .sml were added on demand --
  2605 at the cost of clarity of file dependencies.  Recall that Isabelle/ML
  2606 files exclusively use the .ML extension.  Minor INCOMPATIBILTY.
  2607 
  2608 * Various options that affect pretty printing etc. are now properly
  2609 handled within the context via configuration options, instead of
  2610 unsynchronized references or print modes.  There are both ML Config.T
  2611 entities and Isar declaration attributes to access these.
  2612 
  2613   ML (Config.T)                 Isar (attribute)
  2614 
  2615   eta_contract                  eta_contract

  2624   Syntax.ast_stat               syntax_ast_stat
  2625   Syntax.ambiguity_level        syntax_ambiguity_level
  2626 
  2627   Goal_Display.goals_limit      goals_limit
  2628   Goal_Display.show_main_goal   show_main_goal
  2629 
  2630   Method.rule_trace             rule_trace
  2631 
  2632   Thy_Output.display            thy_output_display
  2633   Thy_Output.quotes             thy_output_quotes
  2634   Thy_Output.indent             thy_output_indent
  2635   Thy_Output.source             thy_output_source
  2636   Thy_Output.break              thy_output_break
  2637 
  2638 Note that corresponding "..._default" references in ML may only be
  2639 changed globally at the ROOT session setup, but *not* within a theory.
  2640 The option "show_abbrevs" supersedes the former print mode
  2641 "no_abbrevs" with inverted meaning.
  2642 
  2643 * More systematic naming of some configuration options.
  2644 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2645 
  2646   trace_simp  ~>  simp_trace
  2647   debug_simp  ~>  simp_debug
  2648 
  2649 * Support for real valued configuration options, using simplistic
  2650 floating-point notation that coincides with the inner syntax for
  2651 float_token.
  2652 
  2653 * Support for real valued preferences (with approximative PGIP type):
  2654 front-ends need to accept "pgint" values in float notation.
  2655 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2656 
  2657 * The IsabelleText font now includes Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic from
  2658 DejaVu Sans.
  2659 
  2660 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.0 and 5.1 versions.
  2661 
  2662 
  2663 *** Pure ***
  2664 
  2665 * Command 'type_synonym' (with single argument) replaces somewhat
  2666 outdated 'types', which is still available as legacy feature for some
  2667 time.
  2668 
  2669 * Command 'nonterminal' (with 'and' separated list of arguments)
  2670 replaces somewhat outdated 'nonterminals'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2671 
  2672 * Command 'notepad' replaces former 'example_proof' for
  2673 experimentation in Isar without any result.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2674 
  2675 * Locale interpretation commands 'interpret' and 'sublocale' accept
  2676 lists of equations to map definitions in a locale to appropriate
  2677 entities in the context of the interpretation.  The 'interpretation'
  2678 command already provided this functionality.
  2679 
  2680 * Diagnostic command 'print_dependencies' prints the locale instances
  2681 that would be activated if the specified expression was interpreted in
  2682 the current context.  Variant "print_dependencies!" assumes a context
  2683 without interpretations.
  2684 
  2685 * Diagnostic command 'print_interps' prints interpretations in proofs
  2686 in addition to interpretations in theories.
  2687 
  2688 * Discontinued obsolete 'global' and 'local' commands to manipulate
  2689 the theory name space.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.  The ML functions
  2690 Sign.root_path and Sign.local_path may be applied directly where this
  2691 feature is still required for historical reasons.
  2692 
  2693 * Discontinued obsolete 'constdefs' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  2694 'definition' instead.
  2695 
  2696 * The "prems" fact, which refers to the accidental collection of
  2697 foundational premises in the context, is now explicitly marked as
  2698 legacy feature and will be discontinued soon.  Consider using "assms"
  2699 of the head statement or reference facts by explicit names.
  2700 
  2701 * Document antiquotations @{class} and @{type} print classes and type
  2702 constructors.
  2703 
  2704 * Document antiquotation @{file} checks file/directory entries within
  2705 the local file system.
  2706 
  2707 
  2708 *** HOL ***
  2709 
  2710 * Coercive subtyping: functions can be declared as coercions and type
  2711 inference will add them as necessary upon input of a term.  Theory
  2712 Complex_Main declares real :: nat => real and real :: int => real as
  2713 coercions. A coercion function f is declared like this:
  2714 
  2715   declare [[coercion f]]
  2716 
  2717 To lift coercions through type constructors (e.g. from nat => real to
  2718 nat list => real list), map functions can be declared, e.g.
  2719 
  2720   declare [[coercion_map map]]
  2721 
  2722 Currently coercion inference is activated only in theories including
  2723 real numbers, i.e. descendants of Complex_Main.  This is controlled by
  2724 the configuration option "coercion_enabled", e.g. it can be enabled in
  2725 other theories like this:
  2726 
  2727   declare [[coercion_enabled]]
  2728 
  2729 * Command 'partial_function' provides basic support for recursive
  2730 function definitions over complete partial orders.  Concrete instances
  2731 are provided for i) the option type, ii) tail recursion on arbitrary
  2732 types, and iii) the heap monad of Imperative_HOL.  See
  2733 src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy and src/HOL/Imperative_HOL/ex/Linked_Lists.thy
  2734 for examples.
  2735 
  2736 * Function package: f.psimps rules are no longer implicitly declared
  2737 as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2738 
  2739 * Datatype package: theorems generated for executable equality (class
  2740 "eq") carry proper names and are treated as default code equations.
  2741 
  2742 * Inductive package: now offers command 'inductive_simps' to
  2743 automatically derive instantiated and simplified equations for
  2744 inductive predicates, similar to 'inductive_cases'.
  2745 
  2746 * Command 'enriched_type' allows to register properties of the
  2747 functorial structure of types.
  2748 
  2749 * Improved infrastructure for term evaluation using code generator
  2750 techniques, in particular static evaluation conversions.
  2751 
  2752 * Code generator: Scala (2.8 or higher) has been added to the target
  2753 languages.
  2754 
  2755 * Code generator: globbing constant expressions "*" and "Theory.*"
  2756 have been replaced by the more idiomatic "_" and "Theory._".
  2757 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2758 
  2759 * Code generator: export_code without explicit file declaration prints
  2760 to standard output.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2761 
  2762 * Code generator: do not print function definitions for case
  2763 combinators any longer.
  2764 
  2765 * Code generator: simplification with rules determined with
  2766 src/Tools/Code/code_simp.ML and method "code_simp".
  2767 
  2768 * Code generator for records: more idiomatic representation of record
  2769 types.  Warning: records are not covered by ancient SML code
  2770 generation any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  In cases of need, a suitable
  2771 rep_datatype declaration helps to succeed then:
  2772 
  2773   record 'a foo = ...
  2774   ...
  2775   rep_datatype foo_ext ...
  2776 
  2777 * Records: logical foundation type for records does not carry a
  2778 '_type' suffix any longer (obsolete due to authentic syntax).
  2779 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2780 
  2781 * Quickcheck now by default uses exhaustive testing instead of random
  2782 testing.  Random testing can be invoked by "quickcheck [random]",
  2783 exhaustive testing by "quickcheck [exhaustive]".
  2784 
  2785 * Quickcheck instantiates polymorphic types with small finite
  2786 datatypes by default. This enables a simple execution mechanism to
  2787 handle quantifiers and function equality over the finite datatypes.
  2788 
  2789 * Quickcheck random generator has been renamed from "code" to
  2790 "random".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2791 
  2792 * Quickcheck now has a configurable time limit which is set to 30
  2793 seconds by default. This can be changed by adding [timeout = n] to the
  2794 quickcheck command. The time limit for Auto Quickcheck is still set
  2795 independently.
  2796 
  2797 * Quickcheck in locales considers interpretations of that locale for
  2798 counter example search.
  2799 
  2800 * Sledgehammer:
  2801   - Added "smt" and "remote_smt" provers based on the "smt" proof
  2802     method. See the Sledgehammer manual for details ("isabelle doc
  2803     sledgehammer").
  2804   - Renamed commands:
  2805     sledgehammer atp_info ~> sledgehammer running_provers
  2806     sledgehammer atp_kill ~> sledgehammer kill_provers
  2807     sledgehammer available_atps ~> sledgehammer available_provers
  2808     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2809   - Renamed options:
  2810     sledgehammer [atps = ...] ~> sledgehammer [provers = ...]
  2811     sledgehammer [atp = ...] ~> sledgehammer [prover = ...]
  2812     sledgehammer [timeout = 77 s] ~> sledgehammer [timeout = 77]
  2813     (and "ms" and "min" are no longer supported)
  2814     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2815 
  2816 * Nitpick:
  2817   - Renamed options:
  2818     nitpick [timeout = 77 s] ~> nitpick [timeout = 77]
  2819     nitpick [tac_timeout = 777 ms] ~> nitpick [tac_timeout = 0.777]
  2820     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2821   - Added support for partial quotient types.
  2822   - Added local versions of the "Nitpick.register_xxx" functions.
  2823   - Added "whack" option.
  2824   - Allow registration of quotient types as codatatypes.
  2825   - Improved "merge_type_vars" option to merge more types.
  2826   - Removed unsound "fast_descrs" option.
  2827   - Added custom symmetry breaking for datatypes, making it possible to reach
  2828     higher cardinalities.
  2829   - Prevent the expansion of too large definitions.
  2830 
  2831 * Proof methods "metis" and "meson" now have configuration options
  2832 "meson_trace", "metis_trace", and "metis_verbose" that can be enabled
  2833 to diagnose these tools. E.g.
  2834 
  2835     using [[metis_trace = true]]
  2836 
  2837 * Auto Solve: Renamed "Auto Solve Direct".  The tool is now available
  2838 manually as command 'solve_direct'.
  2839 
  2840 * The default SMT solver Z3 must be enabled explicitly (due to
  2841 licensing issues) by setting the environment variable
  2842 Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL in etc/settings of the component, for example.  For
  2843 commercial applications, the SMT solver CVC3 is provided as fall-back;
  2844 changing the SMT solver is done via the configuration option
  2845 "smt_solver".
  2846 
  2847 * Remote SMT solvers need to be referred to by the "remote_" prefix,
  2848 i.e. "remote_cvc3" and "remote_z3".
  2849 
  2850 * Added basic SMT support for datatypes, records, and typedefs using
  2851 the oracle mode (no proofs).  Direct support of pairs has been dropped
  2852 in exchange (pass theorems fst_conv snd_conv pair_collapse to the SMT
  2853 support for a similar behavior).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2854 
  2855 * Changed SMT configuration options:
  2856   - Renamed:
  2857     z3_proofs ~> smt_oracle (with inverted meaning)
  2858     z3_trace_assms ~> smt_trace_used_facts
  2859     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2860   - Added:
  2861     smt_verbose
  2862     smt_random_seed
  2863     smt_datatypes
  2864     smt_infer_triggers
  2865     smt_monomorph_limit
  2866     cvc3_options
  2867     remote_cvc3_options
  2868     remote_z3_options
  2869     yices_options
  2870 
  2871 * Boogie output files (.b2i files) need to be declared in the theory
  2872 header.
  2873 
  2874 * Simplification procedure "list_to_set_comprehension" rewrites list
  2875 comprehensions applied to List.set to set comprehensions.  Occasional
  2876 INCOMPATIBILITY, may be deactivated like this:
  2877 
  2878   declare [[simproc del: list_to_set_comprehension]]
  2879 
  2880 * Removed old version of primrec package.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2881 
  2882 * Removed simplifier congruence rule of "prod_case", as has for long
  2883 been the case with "split".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2884 
  2885 * String.literal is a type, but not a datatype.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2886 
  2887 * Removed [split_format ... and ... and ...] version of
  2888 [split_format].  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2889 
  2890 * Predicate "sorted" now defined inductively, with nice induction
  2891 rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY: former sorted.simps now named sorted_simps.
  2892 
  2893 * Constant "contents" renamed to "the_elem", to free the generic name
  2894 contents for other uses.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2895 
  2896 * Renamed class eq and constant eq (for code generation) to class
  2897 equal and constant equal, plus renaming of related facts and various
  2898 tuning.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2899 
  2900 * Dropped type classes mult_mono and mult_mono1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2901 
  2902 * Removed output syntax "'a ~=> 'b" for "'a => 'b option".
  2903 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2904 
  2905 * Renamed theory Fset to Cset, type Fset.fset to Cset.set, in order to
  2906 avoid confusion with finite sets.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2907 
  2908 * Abandoned locales equiv, congruent and congruent2 for equivalence
  2909 relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use equivI rather than equiv_intro (same
  2910 for congruent(2)).
  2911 
  2912 * Some previously unqualified names have been qualified:
  2913 
  2914   types
  2915     bool ~> HOL.bool
  2916     nat ~> Nat.nat
  2917 
  2918   constants

  2943 INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2945 * More canonical naming convention for some fundamental definitions:
  2946 
  2947     bot_bool_eq ~> bot_bool_def
  2948     top_bool_eq ~> top_bool_def
  2949     inf_bool_eq ~> inf_bool_def
  2950     sup_bool_eq ~> sup_bool_def
  2951     bot_fun_eq  ~> bot_fun_def
  2952     top_fun_eq  ~> top_fun_def
  2953     inf_fun_eq  ~> inf_fun_def
  2954     sup_fun_eq  ~> sup_fun_def
  2955 
  2956 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2957 
  2958 * More stylized fact names:
  2959 
  2960   expand_fun_eq ~> fun_eq_iff
  2961   expand_set_eq ~> set_eq_iff
  2962   set_ext       ~> set_eqI
  2963   nat_number    ~> eval_nat_numeral
  2964 
  2965 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2966 
  2967 * Refactoring of code-generation specific operations in theory List:
  2968 
  2969   constants
  2970     null ~> List.null
  2971 
  2972   facts
  2973     mem_iff ~> member_def
  2974     null_empty ~> null_def
  2975 
  2976 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that these were not supposed to be used
  2977 regularly unless for striking reasons; their main purpose was code
  2978 generation.
  2979 
  2980 Various operations from the Haskell prelude are used for generating
  2981 Haskell code.
  2982 
  2983 * Term "bij f" is now an abbreviation of "bij_betw f UNIV UNIV".  Term
  2984 "surj f" is now an abbreviation of "range f = UNIV".  The theorems
  2985 bij_def and surj_def are unchanged.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2986 
  2987 * Abolished some non-alphabetic type names: "prod" and "sum" replace
  2988 "*" and "+" respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2989 
  2990 * Name "Plus" of disjoint sum operator "<+>" is now hidden.  Write
  2991 "Sum_Type.Plus" instead.
  2992 
  2993 * Constant "split" has been merged with constant "prod_case"; names of
  2994 ML functions, facts etc. involving split have been retained so far,
  2995 though.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2996 
  2997 * Dropped old infix syntax "_ mem _" for List.member; use "_ : set _"
  2998 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2999 
  3000 * Removed lemma "Option.is_none_none" which duplicates "is_none_def".
  3001 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3002 
  3003 * Former theory Library/Enum is now part of the HOL-Main image.
  3004 INCOMPATIBILITY: all constants of the Enum theory now have to be
  3005 referred to by its qualified name.
  3006 
  3007   enum    ~>  Enum.enum
  3008   nlists  ~>  Enum.nlists
  3009   product ~>  Enum.product
  3010 
  3011 * Theory Library/Monad_Syntax provides do-syntax for monad types.
  3012 Syntax in Library/State_Monad has been changed to avoid ambiguities.
  3013 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3014 
  3015 * Theory Library/SetsAndFunctions has been split into
  3016 Library/Function_Algebras and Library/Set_Algebras; canonical names
  3017 for instance definitions for functions; various improvements.
  3018 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3019 
  3020 * Theory Library/Multiset provides stable quicksort implementation of
  3021 sort_key.
  3022 
  3023 * Theory Library/Multiset: renamed empty_idemp ~> empty_neutral.
  3024 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3025 
  3026 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: introduced a type class for euclidean
  3027 space.  Most theorems are now stated in terms of euclidean spaces
  3028 instead of finite cartesian products.
  3029 
  3030   types
  3031     real ^ 'n ~>  'a::real_vector
  3032               ~>  'a::euclidean_space
  3033               ~>  'a::ordered_euclidean_space
  3034         (depends on your needs)
  3035 
  3036   constants
  3037      _ $ _        ~> _ $$ _
  3038      \<chi> x. _  ~> \<chi>\<chi> x. _
  3039      CARD('n)     ~> DIM('a)
  3040 
  3041 Also note that the indices are now natural numbers and not from some
  3042 finite type. Finite cartesian products of euclidean spaces, products
  3043 of euclidean spaces the real and complex numbers are instantiated to
  3044 be euclidean_spaces.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3045 
  3046 * Session Probability: introduced pextreal as positive extended real
  3047 numbers.  Use pextreal as value for measures.  Introduce the
  3048 Radon-Nikodym derivative, product spaces and Fubini's theorem for
  3049 arbitrary sigma finite measures.  Introduces Lebesgue measure based on
  3050 the integral in Multivariate Analysis.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3051 
  3052 * Session Imperative_HOL: revamped, corrected dozens of inadequacies.
  3053 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3054 
  3055 * Session SPARK (with image HOL-SPARK) provides commands to load and
  3056 prove verification conditions generated by the SPARK Ada program
  3057 verifier.  See also src/HOL/SPARK and src/HOL/SPARK/Examples.
  3058 
  3059 
  3060 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  3061 
  3062 * Theorems for additive ring operations (locale abelian_monoid and
  3063 descendants) are generated by interpretation from their multiplicative
  3064 counterparts.  Names (in particular theorem names) have the mandatory
  3065 qualifier 'add'.  Previous theorem names are redeclared for
  3066 compatibility.
  3067 
  3068 * Structure "int_ring" is now an abbreviation (previously a
  3069 definition).  This fits more natural with advanced interpretations.
  3070 
  3071 
  3072 *** HOLCF ***
  3073 
  3074 * The domain package now runs in definitional mode by default: The
  3075 former command 'new_domain' is now called 'domain'.  To use the domain
  3076 package in its original axiomatic mode, use 'domain (unsafe)'.
  3077 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3078 
  3079 * The new class "domain" is now the default sort.  Class "predomain"
  3080 is an unpointed version of "domain". Theories can be updated by
  3081 replacing sort annotations as shown below.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3082 
  3083   'a::type ~> 'a::countable
  3084   'a::cpo  ~> 'a::predomain
  3085   'a::pcpo ~> 'a::domain
  3086 
  3087 * The old type class "rep" has been superseded by class "domain".
  3088 Accordingly, users of the definitional package must remove any
  3089 "default_sort rep" declarations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3090 
  3091 * The domain package (definitional mode) now supports unpointed
  3092 predomain argument types, as long as they are marked 'lazy'. (Strict
  3093 arguments must be in class "domain".) For example, the following
  3094 domain definition now works:
  3095 
  3096   domain natlist = nil | cons (lazy "nat discr") (lazy "natlist")
  3097 
  3098 * Theory HOLCF/Library/HOL_Cpo provides cpo and predomain class
  3099 instances for types from main HOL: bool, nat, int, char, 'a + 'b,
  3100 'a option, and 'a list.  Additionally, it configures fixrec and the
  3101 domain package to work with these types.  For example:
  3102 
  3103   fixrec isInl :: "('a + 'b) u -> tr"
  3104     where "isInl$(up$(Inl x)) = TT" | "isInl$(up$(Inr y)) = FF"
  3105 
  3106   domain V = VFun (lazy "V -> V") | VCon (lazy "nat") (lazy "V list")
  3107 
  3108 * The "(permissive)" option of fixrec has been replaced with a
  3109 per-equation "(unchecked)" option. See
  3110 src/HOL/HOLCF/Tutorial/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3111 
  3112 * The "bifinite" class no longer fixes a constant "approx"; the class
  3113 now just asserts that such a function exists.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3114 
  3115 * Former type "alg_defl" has been renamed to "defl".  HOLCF no longer
  3116 defines an embedding of type 'a defl into udom by default; instances
  3117 of "bifinite" and "domain" classes are available in
  3118 src/HOL/HOLCF/Library/Defl_Bifinite.thy.
  3119 
  3120 * The syntax "REP('a)" has been replaced with "DEFL('a)".
  3121 
  3122 * The predicate "directed" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3123 
  3124 * The type class "finite_po" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3125 
  3126 * The function "cprod_map" has been renamed to "prod_map".
  3127 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3128 
  3129 * The monadic bind operator on each powerdomain has new binder syntax
  3130 similar to sets, e.g. "\<Union>\<sharp>x\<in>xs. t" represents
  3131 "upper_bind\<cdot>xs\<cdot>(\<Lambda> x. t)".
  3132 
  3133 * The infix syntax for binary union on each powerdomain has changed
  3134 from e.g. "+\<sharp>" to "\<union>\<sharp>", for consistency with set
  3135 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3136 
  3137 * The constant "UU" has been renamed to "bottom".  The syntax "UU" is
  3138 still supported as an input translation.
  3139 
  3140 * Renamed some theorems (the original names are also still available).
  3141 
  3142   expand_fun_below   ~> fun_below_iff
  3143   below_fun_ext      ~> fun_belowI
  3144   expand_cfun_eq     ~> cfun_eq_iff
  3145   ext_cfun           ~> cfun_eqI
  3146   expand_cfun_below  ~> cfun_below_iff
  3147   below_cfun_ext     ~> cfun_belowI
  3148   cont2cont_Rep_CFun ~> cont2cont_APP
  3149 
  3150 * The Abs and Rep functions for various types have changed names.
  3151 Related theorem names have also changed to match. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3152 
  3153   Rep_CFun  ~> Rep_cfun
  3154   Abs_CFun  ~> Abs_cfun
  3155   Rep_Sprod ~> Rep_sprod
  3156   Abs_Sprod ~> Abs_sprod
  3157   Rep_Ssum  ~> Rep_ssum
  3158   Abs_Ssum  ~> Abs_ssum
  3159 
  3160 * Lemmas with names of the form *_defined_iff or *_strict_iff have
  3161 been renamed to *_bottom_iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3162 
  3163 * Various changes to bisimulation/coinduction with domain package:
  3164 
  3165   - Definitions of "bisim" constants no longer mention definedness.
  3166   - With mutual recursion, "bisim" predicate is now curried.
  3167   - With mutual recursion, each type gets a separate coind theorem.
  3168   - Variable names in bisim_def and coinduct rules have changed.
  3169 
  3170 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3171 
  3172 * Case combinators generated by the domain package for type "foo" are
  3173 now named "foo_case" instead of "foo_when".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3174 
  3175 * Several theorems have been renamed to more accurately reflect the
  3176 names of constants and types involved.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3247 
  3248 *** FOL and ZF ***
  3249 
  3250 * All constant names are now qualified internally and use proper
  3251 identifiers, e.g. "IFOL.eq" instead of "op =".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3252 
  3253 
  3254 *** ML ***
  3255 
  3256 * Antiquotation @{assert} inlines a function bool -> unit that raises
  3257 Fail if the argument is false.  Due to inlining the source position of
  3258 failed assertions is included in the error output.
  3259 
  3260 * Discontinued antiquotation @{theory_ref}, which is obsolete since ML
  3261 text is in practice always evaluated with a stable theory checkpoint.
  3262 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use (Theory.check_thy @{theory}) instead.
  3263 
  3264 * Antiquotation @{theory A} refers to theory A from the ancestry of
  3265 the current context, not any accidental theory loader state as before.
  3266 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, subtle change in semantics.
  3267 
  3268 * Syntax.pretty_priority (default 0) configures the required priority
  3269 of pretty-printed output and thus affects insertion of parentheses.
  3270 
  3271 * Syntax.default_root (default "any") configures the inner syntax
  3272 category (nonterminal symbol) for parsing of terms.
  3273 
  3274 * Former exception Library.UnequalLengths now coincides with
  3275 ListPair.UnequalLengths.
  3276 
  3277 * Renamed structure MetaSimplifier to Raw_Simplifier.  Note that the
  3278 main functionality is provided by structure Simplifier.
  3279 
  3280 * Renamed raw "explode" function to "raw_explode" to emphasize its
  3281 meaning.  Note that internally to Isabelle, Symbol.explode is used in
  3282 almost all situations.
  3283 
  3284 * Discontinued obsolete function sys_error and exception SYS_ERROR.
  3285 See implementation manual for further details on exceptions in
  3286 Isabelle/ML.
  3287 
  3288 * Renamed setmp_noncritical to Unsynchronized.setmp to emphasize its
  3289 meaning.
  3290 
  3291 * Renamed structure PureThy to Pure_Thy and moved most of its
  3292 operations to structure Global_Theory, to emphasize that this is
  3293 rarely-used global-only stuff.
  3294 
  3295 * Discontinued Output.debug.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use plain writeln
  3296 instead (or tracing for high-volume output).
  3297 
  3298 * Configuration option show_question_marks only affects regular pretty
  3299 printing of types and terms, not raw Term.string_of_vname.
  3300 
  3301 * ML_Context.thm and ML_Context.thms are no longer pervasive.  Rare
  3302 INCOMPATIBILITY, superseded by static antiquotations @{thm} and
  3303 @{thms} for most purposes.
  3304 
  3305 * ML structure Unsynchronized is never opened, not even in Isar
  3306 interaction mode as before.  Old Unsynchronized.set etc. have been
  3307 discontinued -- use plain := instead.  This should be *rare* anyway,
  3308 since modern tools always work via official context data, notably
  3309 configuration options.
  3310 
  3311 * Parallel and asynchronous execution requires special care concerning
  3312 interrupts.  Structure Exn provides some convenience functions that
  3313 avoid working directly with raw Interrupt.  User code must not absorb
  3314 interrupts -- intermediate handling (for cleanup etc.) needs to be
  3315 followed by re-raising of the original exception.  Another common
  3316 source of mistakes are "handle _" patterns, which make the meaning of
  3317 the program subject to physical effects of the environment.

  3320 
  3321 New in Isabelle2009-2 (June 2010)
  3322 ---------------------------------
  3323 
  3324 *** General ***
  3325 
  3326 * Authentic syntax for *all* logical entities (type classes, type
  3327 constructors, term constants): provides simple and robust
  3328 correspondence between formal entities and concrete syntax.  Within
  3329 the parse tree / AST representations, "constants" are decorated by
  3330 their category (class, type, const) and spelled out explicitly with
  3331 their full internal name.
  3332 
  3333 Substantial INCOMPATIBILITY concerning low-level syntax declarations
  3334 and translations (translation rules and translation functions in ML).
  3335 Some hints on upgrading:
  3336 
  3337   - Many existing uses of 'syntax' and 'translations' can be replaced
  3338     by more modern 'type_notation', 'notation' and 'abbreviation',
  3339     which are independent of this issue.
  3340 
  3341   - 'translations' require markup within the AST; the term syntax
  3342     provides the following special forms:
  3343 
  3344       CONST c   -- produces syntax version of constant c from context
  3345       XCONST c  -- literally c, checked as constant from context
  3346       c         -- literally c, if declared by 'syntax'
  3347 
  3348     Plain identifiers are treated as AST variables -- occasionally the
  3349     system indicates accidental variables via the error "rhs contains
  3350     extra variables".
  3351 
  3352     Type classes and type constructors are marked according to their
  3353     concrete syntax.  Some old translations rules need to be written
  3354     for the "type" category, using type constructor application
  3355     instead of pseudo-term application of the default category
  3356     "logic".
  3357 
  3358   - 'parse_translation' etc. in ML may use the following
  3359     antiquotations:
  3360 
  3361       @{class_syntax c}   -- type class c within parse tree / AST
  3362       @{term_syntax c}    -- type constructor c within parse tree / AST
  3363       @{const_syntax c}   -- ML version of "CONST c" above
  3364       @{syntax_const c}   -- literally c (checked wrt. 'syntax' declarations)
  3365 
  3366   - Literal types within 'typed_print_translations', i.e. those *not*
  3367     represented as pseudo-terms are represented verbatim.  Use @{class
  3368     c} or @{type_name c} here instead of the above syntax
  3369     antiquotations.
  3370 
  3371 Note that old non-authentic syntax was based on unqualified base
  3372 names, so all of the above "constant" names would coincide.  Recall
  3373 that 'print_syntax' and ML_command "set Syntax.trace_ast" help to
  3374 diagnose syntax problems.
  3375 
  3376 * Type constructors admit general mixfix syntax, not just infix.
  3377 
  3378 * Concrete syntax may be attached to local entities without a proof
  3379 body, too.  This works via regular mixfix annotations for 'fix',
  3380 'def', 'obtain' etc. or via the explicit 'write' command, which is
  3381 similar to the 'notation' command in theory specifications.
  3382 
  3383 * Discontinued unnamed infix syntax (legacy feature for many years) --
  3384 need to specify constant name and syntax separately.  Internal ML
  3385 datatype constructors have been renamed from InfixName to Infix etc.
  3386 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3387 
  3388 * Schematic theorem statements need to be explicitly markup as such,
  3389 via commands 'schematic_lemma', 'schematic_theorem',
  3390 'schematic_corollary'.  Thus the relevance of the proof is made
  3391 syntactically clear, which impacts performance in a parallel or
  3392 asynchronous interactive environment.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3393 
  3394 * Use of cumulative prems via "!" in some proof methods has been
  3395 discontinued (old legacy feature).
  3396 
  3397 * References 'trace_simp' and 'debug_simp' have been replaced by
  3398 configuration options stored in the context. Enabling tracing (the
  3399 case of debugging is similar) in proofs works via
  3400 
  3401   using [[trace_simp = true]]
  3402 
  3403 Tracing is then active for all invocations of the simplifier in
  3404 subsequent goal refinement steps. Tracing may also still be enabled or
  3405 disabled via the ProofGeneral settings menu.
  3406 
  3407 * Separate commands 'hide_class', 'hide_type', 'hide_const',
  3408 'hide_fact' replace the former 'hide' KIND command.  Minor
  3409 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3410 
  3411 * Improved parallelism of proof term normalization: usedir -p2 -q0 is
  3412 more efficient than combinations with -q1 or -q2.
  3413 
  3414 
  3415 *** Pure ***
  3416 
  3417 * Proofterms record type-class reasoning explicitly, using the
  3418 "unconstrain" operation internally.  This eliminates all sort
  3419 constraints from a theorem and proof, introducing explicit
  3420 OFCLASS-premises.  On the proof term level, this operation is
  3421 automatically applied at theorem boundaries, such that closed proofs
  3422 are always free of sort constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools that
  3423 inspect proof terms.
  3424 
  3425 * Local theory specifications may depend on extra type variables that
  3426 are not present in the result type -- arguments TYPE('a) :: 'a itself
  3427 are added internally.  For example:
  3428 
  3429   definition unitary :: bool where "unitary = (ALL (x::'a) y. x = y)"
  3430 
  3431 * Predicates of locales introduced by classes carry a mandatory
  3432 "class" prefix.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3433 
  3434 * Vacuous class specifications observe default sort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3435 
  3436 * Old 'axclass' command has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  3437 'class' instead.
  3438 
  3439 * Command 'code_reflect' allows to incorporate generated ML code into
  3440 runtime environment; replaces immature code_datatype antiquotation.
  3441 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3442 
  3443 * Code generator: simple concept for abstract datatypes obeying
  3444 invariants.
  3445 
  3446 * Code generator: details of internal data cache have no impact on the
  3447 user space functionality any longer.
  3448 
  3449 * Methods "unfold_locales" and "intro_locales" ignore non-locale
  3450 subgoals.  This is more appropriate for interpretations with 'where'.
  3451 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3452 
  3453 * Command 'example_proof' opens an empty proof body.  This allows to
  3454 experiment with Isar, without producing any persistent result.
  3455 
  3456 * Commands 'type_notation' and 'no_type_notation' declare type syntax
  3457 within a local theory context, with explicit checking of the
  3458 constructors involved (in contrast to the raw 'syntax' versions).
  3459 
  3460 * Commands 'types' and 'typedecl' now work within a local theory
  3461 context -- without introducing dependencies on parameters or
  3462 assumptions, which is not possible in Isabelle/Pure.
  3463 
  3464 * Command 'defaultsort' has been renamed to 'default_sort', it works
  3465 within a local theory context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3466 
  3467 
  3468 *** HOL ***
  3469 
  3470 * Command 'typedef' now works within a local theory context -- without
  3471 introducing dependencies on parameters or assumptions, which is not
  3472 possible in Isabelle/Pure/HOL.  Note that the logical environment may
  3473 contain multiple interpretations of local typedefs (with different
  3474 non-emptiness proofs), even in a global theory context.
  3475 
  3476 * New package for quotient types.  Commands 'quotient_type' and
  3477 'quotient_definition' may be used for defining types and constants by
  3478 quotient constructions.  An example is the type of integers created by
  3479 quotienting pairs of natural numbers:
  3480 
  3481   fun
  3482     intrel :: "(nat * nat) => (nat * nat) => bool"
  3483   where
  3484     "intrel (x, y) (u, v) = (x + v = u + y)"
  3485 
  3486   quotient_type int = "nat * nat" / intrel
  3487     by (auto simp add: equivp_def expand_fun_eq)
  3488 
  3489   quotient_definition
  3490     "0::int" is "(0::nat, 0::nat)"
  3491 
  3492 The method "lifting" can be used to lift of theorems from the
  3493 underlying "raw" type to the quotient type.  The example
  3494 src/HOL/Quotient_Examples/FSet.thy includes such a quotient
  3495 construction and provides a reasoning infrastructure for finite sets.
  3496 
  3497 * Renamed Library/Quotient.thy to Library/Quotient_Type.thy to avoid
  3498 clash with new theory Quotient in Main HOL.
  3499 
  3500 * Moved the SMT binding into the main HOL session, eliminating
  3501 separate HOL-SMT session.
  3502 
  3503 * List membership infix mem operation is only an input abbreviation.
  3504 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3505 
  3506 * Theory Library/Word.thy has been removed.  Use library Word/Word.thy
  3507 for future developements; former Library/Word.thy is still present in
  3508 the AFP entry RSAPPS.
  3509 
  3510 * Theorem Int.int_induct renamed to Int.int_of_nat_induct and is no
  3511 longer shadowed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3512 
  3513 * Dropped theorem duplicate comp_arith; use semiring_norm instead.
  3514 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3515 
  3516 * Dropped theorem RealPow.real_sq_order; use power2_le_imp_le instead.
  3517 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3518 
  3519 * Dropped normalizing_semiring etc; use the facts in semiring classes
  3520 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3521 
  3522 * Dropped several real-specific versions of lemmas about floor and
  3523 ceiling; use the generic lemmas from theory "Archimedean_Field"
  3524 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3556 
  3557 * Theory "Finite_Set": various folding_XXX locales facilitate the
  3558 application of the various fold combinators on finite sets.
  3559 
  3560 * Library theory "RBT" renamed to "RBT_Impl"; new library theory "RBT"
  3561 provides abstract red-black tree type which is backed by "RBT_Impl" as
  3562 implementation.  INCOMPATIBILTY.
  3563 
  3564 * Theory Library/Coinductive_List has been removed -- superseded by
  3565 AFP/thys/Coinductive.
  3566 
  3567 * Theory PReal, including the type "preal" and related operations, has
  3568 been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3569 
  3570 * Real: new development using Cauchy Sequences.
  3571 
  3572 * Split off theory "Big_Operators" containing setsum, setprod,
  3573 Inf_fin, Sup_fin, Min, Max from theory Finite_Set.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3574 
  3575 * Theory "Rational" renamed to "Rat", for consistency with "Nat",
  3576 "Int" etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3577 
  3578 * Constant Rat.normalize needs to be qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3579 
  3580 * New set of rules "ac_simps" provides combined assoc / commute
  3581 rewrites for all interpretations of the appropriate generic locales.
  3582 
  3583 * Renamed theory "OrderedGroup" to "Groups" and split theory
  3584 "Ring_and_Field" into theories "Rings" and "Fields"; for more
  3585 appropriate and more consistent names suitable for name prefixes
  3586 within the HOL theories.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3587 
  3588 * Some generic constants have been put to appropriate theories:
  3589   - less_eq, less: Orderings
  3590   - zero, one, plus, minus, uminus, times, abs, sgn: Groups
  3591   - inverse, divide: Rings
  3592 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3593 
  3594 * More consistent naming of type classes involving orderings (and
  3595 lattices):
  3596 
  3597     lower_semilattice                   ~> semilattice_inf

  3633     ordered_semiring_strict             ~> linordered_semiring_strict
  3634 
  3635   The following slightly odd type classes have been moved to a
  3636   separate theory Library/Lattice_Algebras:
  3637 
  3638     lordered_ab_group_add               ~> lattice_ab_group_add
  3639     lordered_ab_group_add_abs           ~> lattice_ab_group_add_abs
  3640     lordered_ab_group_add_meet          ~> semilattice_inf_ab_group_add
  3641     lordered_ab_group_add_join          ~> semilattice_sup_ab_group_add
  3642     lordered_ring                       ~> lattice_ring
  3643 
  3644 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3645 
  3646 * Refined field classes:
  3647   - classes division_ring_inverse_zero, field_inverse_zero,
  3648     linordered_field_inverse_zero include rule inverse 0 = 0 --
  3649     subsumes former division_by_zero class;
  3650   - numerous lemmas have been ported from field to division_ring.
  3651 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3652 
  3653 * Refined algebra theorem collections:
  3654   - dropped theorem group group_simps, use algebra_simps instead;
  3655   - dropped theorem group ring_simps, use field_simps instead;
  3656   - proper theorem collection field_simps subsumes former theorem
  3657     groups field_eq_simps and field_simps;
  3658   - dropped lemma eq_minus_self_iff which is a duplicate for
  3659     equal_neg_zero.
  3660 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3661 
  3662 * Theory Finite_Set and List: some lemmas have been generalized from
  3663 sets to lattices:
  3664 
  3665   fun_left_comm_idem_inter      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_inf
  3666   fun_left_comm_idem_union      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_sup
  3667   inter_Inter_fold_inter        ~> inf_Inf_fold_inf

  3673   INTER_fold_inter              ~> INFI_fold_inf
  3674   UNION_fold_union              ~> SUPR_fold_sup
  3675 
  3676 * Theory "Complete_Lattice": lemmas top_def and bot_def have been
  3677 replaced by the more convenient lemmas Inf_empty and Sup_empty.
  3678 Dropped lemmas Inf_insert_simp and Sup_insert_simp, which are subsumed
  3679 by Inf_insert and Sup_insert.  Lemmas Inf_UNIV and Sup_UNIV replace
  3680 former Inf_Univ and Sup_Univ.  Lemmas inf_top_right and sup_bot_right
  3681 subsume inf_top and sup_bot respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3682 
  3683 * Reorganized theory Multiset: swapped notation of pointwise and
  3684 multiset order:
  3685 
  3686   - pointwise ordering is instance of class order with standard syntax
  3687     <= and <;
  3688   - multiset ordering has syntax <=# and <#; partial order properties
  3689     are provided by means of interpretation with prefix
  3690     multiset_order;
  3691   - less duplication, less historical organization of sections,
  3692     conversion from associations lists to multisets, rudimentary code
  3693     generation;
  3694   - use insert_DiffM2 [symmetric] instead of elem_imp_eq_diff_union,
  3695     if needed.
  3696 
  3697 Renamed:
  3698 
  3699   multiset_eq_conv_count_eq  ~>  multiset_ext_iff
  3700   multi_count_ext  ~>  multiset_ext
  3701   diff_union_inverse2  ~>  diff_union_cancelR
  3702 
  3703 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3704 
  3705 * Theory Permutation: replaced local "remove" by List.remove1.
  3706 
  3707 * Code generation: ML and OCaml code is decorated with signatures.
  3708 
  3709 * Theory List: added transpose.
  3710 
  3711 * Library/Nat_Bijection.thy is a collection of bijective functions
  3712 between nat and other types, which supersedes the older libraries
  3713 Library/Nat_Int_Bij.thy and HOLCF/NatIso.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3744 
  3745 * Sledgehammer:
  3746   - Renamed ATP commands:
  3747     atp_info     ~> sledgehammer running_atps
  3748     atp_kill     ~> sledgehammer kill_atps
  3749     atp_messages ~> sledgehammer messages
  3750     atp_minimize ~> sledgehammer minimize
  3751     print_atps   ~> sledgehammer available_atps
  3752     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3753   - Added user's manual ("isabelle doc sledgehammer").
  3754   - Added option syntax and "sledgehammer_params" to customize
  3755     Sledgehammer's behavior.  See the manual for details.
  3756   - Modified the Isar proof reconstruction code so that it produces
  3757     direct proofs rather than proofs by contradiction.  (This feature
  3758     is still experimental.)
  3759   - Made Isar proof reconstruction work for SPASS, remote ATPs, and in
  3760     full-typed mode.
  3761   - Added support for TPTP syntax for SPASS via the "spass_tptp" ATP.
  3762 
  3763 * Nitpick:
  3764   - Added and implemented "binary_ints" and "bits" options.
  3765   - Added "std" option and implemented support for nonstandard models.
  3766   - Added and implemented "finitize" option to improve the precision
  3767     of infinite datatypes based on a monotonicity analysis.
  3768   - Added support for quotient types.
  3769   - Added support for "specification" and "ax_specification"
  3770     constructs.
  3771   - Added support for local definitions (for "function" and
  3772     "termination" proofs).
  3773   - Added support for term postprocessors.
  3774   - Optimized "Multiset.multiset" and "FinFun.finfun".
  3775   - Improved efficiency of "destroy_constrs" optimization.
  3776   - Fixed soundness bugs related to "destroy_constrs" optimization and
  3777     record getters.
  3778   - Fixed soundness bug related to higher-order constructors.
  3779   - Fixed soundness bug when "full_descrs" is enabled.
  3780   - Improved precision of set constructs.
  3781   - Added "atoms" option.
  3782   - Added cache to speed up repeated Kodkod invocations on the same
  3783     problems.
  3784   - Renamed "MiniSatJNI", "zChaffJNI", "BerkMinAlloy", and
  3785     "SAT4JLight" to "MiniSat_JNI", "zChaff_JNI", "BerkMin_Alloy", and
  3786     "SAT4J_Light".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3787   - Removed "skolemize", "uncurry", "sym_break", "flatten_prop",
  3788     "sharing_depth", and "show_skolems" options.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3789   - Removed "nitpick_intro" attribute.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3790 
  3791 * Method "induct" now takes instantiations of the form t, where t is not
  3792   a variable, as a shorthand for "x == t", where x is a fresh variable.
  3793   If this is not intended, t has to be enclosed in parentheses.
  3794   By default, the equalities generated by definitional instantiations
  3795   are pre-simplified, which may cause parameters of inductive cases
  3796   to disappear, or may even delete some of the inductive cases.
  3797   Use "induct (no_simp)" instead of "induct" to restore the old
  3798   behaviour. The (no_simp) option is also understood by the "cases"
  3799   and "nominal_induct" methods, which now perform pre-simplification, too.
  3800   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3801 
  3802 
  3803 *** HOLCF ***
  3804 
  3805 * Variable names in lemmas generated by the domain package have
  3806 changed; the naming scheme is now consistent with the HOL datatype
  3807 package.  Some proof scripts may be affected, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3808 
  3809 * The domain package no longer defines the function "foo_copy" for
  3810 recursive domain "foo".  The reach lemma is now stated directly in
  3811 terms of "foo_take".  Lemmas and proofs that mention "foo_copy" must
  3812 be reformulated in terms of "foo_take", INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3813 
  3814 * Most definedness lemmas generated by the domain package (previously
  3815 of the form "x ~= UU ==> foo$x ~= UU") now have an if-and-only-if form
  3816 like "foo$x = UU <-> x = UU", which works better as a simp rule.
  3817 Proofs that used definedness lemmas as intro rules may break,
  3818 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3819 
  3820 * Induction and casedist rules generated by the domain package now
  3821 declare proper case_names (one called "bottom", and one named for each
  3822 constructor).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3823 
  3824 * For mutually-recursive domains, separate "reach" and "take_lemma"
  3825 rules are generated for each domain, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3826 
  3827   foo_bar.reach       ~> foo.reach  bar.reach
  3828   foo_bar.take_lemmas ~> foo.take_lemma  bar.take_lemma
  3829 
  3830 * Some lemmas generated by the domain package have been renamed for
  3831 consistency with the datatype package, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3832 
  3833   foo.ind        ~> foo.induct
  3834   foo.finite_ind ~> foo.finite_induct
  3835   foo.coind      ~> foo.coinduct
  3836   foo.casedist   ~> foo.exhaust
  3837   foo.exhaust    ~> foo.nchotomy
  3838 
  3839 * For consistency with other definition packages, the fixrec package
  3840 now generates qualified theorem names, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3841 
  3842   foo_simps  ~> foo.simps
  3843   foo_unfold ~> foo.unfold
  3844   foo_induct ~> foo.induct
  3845 
  3846 * The "fixrec_simp" attribute has been removed.  The "fixrec_simp"
  3847 method and internal fixrec proofs now use the default simpset instead.
  3848 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3849 
  3850 * The "contlub" predicate has been removed.  Proof scripts should use
  3851 lemma contI2 in place of monocontlub2cont, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3852 
  3853 * The "admw" predicate has been removed, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3854 
  3855 * The constants cpair, cfst, and csnd have been removed in favor of
  3856 Pair, fst, and snd from Isabelle/HOL, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3857 
  3858 
  3859 *** ML ***
  3860 
  3861 * Antiquotations for basic formal entities:
  3862 
  3863     @{class NAME}         -- type class
  3864     @{class_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of the above
  3865 
  3866     @{type_name NAME}     -- logical type
  3867     @{type_abbrev NAME}   -- type abbreviation
  3868     @{nonterminal NAME}   -- type of concrete syntactic category
  3869     @{type_syntax NAME}   -- syntax representation of any of the above
  3870 
  3871     @{const_name NAME}    -- logical constant (INCOMPATIBILITY)
  3872     @{const_abbrev NAME}  -- abbreviated constant
  3873     @{const_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of any of the above
  3874 
  3875 * Antiquotation @{syntax_const NAME} ensures that NAME refers to a raw
  3876 syntax constant (cf. 'syntax' command).
  3877 
  3878 * Antiquotation @{make_string} inlines a function to print arbitrary
  3879 values similar to the ML toplevel.  The result is compiler dependent
  3880 and may fall back on "?" in certain situations.
  3881 
  3882 * Diagnostic commands 'ML_val' and 'ML_command' may refer to
  3883 antiquotations @{Isar.state} and @{Isar.goal}.  This replaces impure
  3884 Isar.state() and Isar.goal(), which belong to the old TTY loop and do
  3885 not work with the asynchronous Isar document model.
  3886 
  3887 * Configuration options now admit dynamic default values, depending on
  3888 the context or even global references.
  3889 
  3890 * SHA1.digest digests strings according to SHA-1 (see RFC 3174).  It
  3891 uses an efficient external library if available (for Poly/ML).
  3892 
  3893 * Renamed some important ML structures, while keeping the old names
  3894 for some time as aliases within the structure Legacy:
  3895 
  3896   OuterKeyword  ~>  Keyword
  3897   OuterLex      ~>  Token
  3898   OuterParse    ~>  Parse
  3899   OuterSyntax   ~>  Outer_Syntax
  3900   PrintMode     ~>  Print_Mode
  3901   SpecParse     ~>  Parse_Spec
  3902   ThyInfo       ~>  Thy_Info
  3903   ThyLoad       ~>  Thy_Load
  3904   ThyOutput     ~>  Thy_Output
  3905   TypeInfer     ~>  Type_Infer
  3906 
  3907 Note that "open Legacy" simplifies porting of sources, but forgetting
  3908 to remove it again will complicate porting again in the future.
  3909 
  3910 * Most operations that refer to a global context are named
  3911 accordingly, e.g. Simplifier.global_context or
  3912 ProofContext.init_global.  There are some situations where a global
  3913 context actually works, but under normal circumstances one needs to
  3914 pass the proper local context through the code!
  3915 
  3916 * Discontinued old TheoryDataFun with its copy/init operation -- data
  3917 needs to be pure.  Functor Theory_Data_PP retains the traditional
  3918 Pretty.pp argument to merge, which is absent in the standard
  3919 Theory_Data version.
  3920 
  3921 * Sorts.certify_sort and derived "cert" operations for types and terms
  3922 no longer minimize sorts.  Thus certification at the boundary of the
  3923 inference kernel becomes invariant under addition of class relations,
  3924 which is an important monotonicity principle.  Sorts are now minimized
  3925 in the syntax layer only, at the boundary between the end-user and the
  3926 system.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY, may have to use Sign.minimize_sort
  3927 explicitly in rare situations.
  3928 
  3929 * Renamed old-style Drule.standard to Drule.export_without_context, to
  3930 emphasize that this is in no way a standard operation.
  3931 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3932 
  3933 * Subgoal.FOCUS (and variants): resulting goal state is normalized as
  3934 usual for resolution.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3935 
  3936 * Renamed varify/unvarify operations to varify_global/unvarify_global
  3937 to emphasize that these only work in a global situation (which is
  3938 quite rare).
  3939 
  3940 * Curried take and drop in library.ML; negative length is interpreted
  3941 as infinity (as in chop).  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3942 
  3943 * Proof terms: type substitutions on proof constants now use canonical
  3944 order of type variables.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools working with proof
  3945 terms.
  3946 
  3947 * Raw axioms/defs may no longer carry sort constraints, and raw defs
  3948 may no longer carry premises.  User-level specifications are
  3949 transformed accordingly by Thm.add_axiom/add_def.
  3950 
  3951 
  3952 *** System ***
  3953 
  3954 * Discontinued special HOL_USEDIR_OPTIONS for the main HOL image;
  3955 ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS applies uniformly to all sessions.  Note that
  3956 proof terms are enabled unconditionally in the new HOL-Proofs image.
  3957 
  3958 * Discontinued old ISABELLE and ISATOOL environment settings (legacy
  3959 feature since Isabelle2009).  Use ISABELLE_PROCESS and ISABELLE_TOOL,
  3960 respectively.
  3961 
  3962 * Old lib/scripts/polyml-platform is superseded by the
  3963 ISABELLE_PLATFORM setting variable, which defaults to the 32 bit
  3964 variant, even on a 64 bit machine.  The following example setting
  3965 prefers 64 bit if available:
  3966 
  3967   ML_PLATFORM="${ISABELLE_PLATFORM64:-$ISABELLE_PLATFORM}"
  3968 
  3969 * The preliminary Isabelle/jEdit application demonstrates the emerging
  3970 Isabelle/Scala layer for advanced prover interaction and integration.
  3971 See src/Tools/jEdit or "isabelle jedit" provided by the properly built
  3972 component.
  3973 
  3974 * "IsabelleText" is a Unicode font derived from Bitstream Vera Mono
  3975 and Bluesky TeX fonts.  It provides the usual Isabelle symbols,
  3976 similar to the default assignment of the document preparation system
  3977 (cf. isabellesym.sty).  The Isabelle/Scala class Isabelle_System
  3978 provides some operations for direct access to the font without asking
  3979 the user for manual installation.
  3980 
  3981 
  3982 
  3983 New in Isabelle2009-1 (December 2009)
  3984 -------------------------------------
  3985 
  3986 *** General ***
  3987 
  3988 * Discontinued old form of "escaped symbols" such as \\<forall>.  Only
  3989 one backslash should be used, even in ML sources.
  3990 
  3991 
  3992 *** Pure ***
  3993 
  3994 * Locale interpretation propagates mixins along the locale hierarchy.
  3995 The currently only available mixins are the equations used to map
  3996 local definitions to terms of the target domain of an interpretation.
  3997 
  3998 * Reactivated diagnostic command 'print_interps'.  Use "print_interps
  3999 loc" to print all interpretations of locale "loc" in the theory.
  4000 Interpretations in proofs are not shown.
  4001 
  4002 * Thoroughly revised locales tutorial.  New section on conditional
  4003 interpretation.
  4004 
  4005 * On instantiation of classes, remaining undefined class parameters
  4006 are formally declared.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4007 
  4008 
  4009 *** Document preparation ***
  4010 
  4011 * New generalized style concept for printing terms: @{foo (style) ...}
  4012 instead of @{foo_style style ...}  (old form is still retained for
  4013 backward compatibility).  Styles can be also applied for
  4014 antiquotations prop, term_type and typeof.
  4015 
  4016 
  4017 *** HOL ***
  4018 
  4019 * New proof method "smt" for a combination of first-order logic with
  4020 equality, linear and nonlinear (natural/integer/real) arithmetic, and
  4021 fixed-size bitvectors; there is also basic support for higher-order
  4022 features (esp. lambda abstractions).  It is an incomplete decision
  4023 procedure based on external SMT solvers using the oracle mechanism;
  4024 for the SMT solver Z3, this method is proof-producing.  Certificates
  4025 are provided to avoid calling the external solvers solely for
  4026 re-checking proofs.  Due to a remote SMT service there is no need for
  4027 installing SMT solvers locally.  See src/HOL/SMT.
  4028 
  4029 * New commands to load and prove verification conditions generated by
  4030 the Boogie program verifier or derived systems (e.g. the Verifying C
  4031 Compiler (VCC) or Spec#).  See src/HOL/Boogie.
  4032 
  4033 * New counterexample generator tool 'nitpick' based on the Kodkod
  4034 relational model finder.  See src/HOL/Tools/Nitpick and
  4035 src/HOL/Nitpick_Examples.
  4036 
  4037 * New commands 'code_pred' and 'values' to invoke the predicate
  4038 compiler and to enumerate values of inductive predicates.
  4039 
  4040 * A tabled implementation of the reflexive transitive closure.
  4041 
  4042 * New implementation of quickcheck uses generic code generator;
  4043 default generators are provided for all suitable HOL types, records
  4044 and datatypes.  Old quickcheck can be re-activated importing theory
  4045 Library/SML_Quickcheck.
  4046 
  4047 * New testing tool Mirabelle for automated proof tools.  Applies
  4048 several tools and tactics like sledgehammer, metis, or quickcheck, to
  4049 every proof step in a theory.  To be used in batch mode via the
  4050 "mirabelle" utility.
  4051 
  4052 * New proof method "sos" (sum of squares) for nonlinear real
  4053 arithmetic (originally due to John Harison). It requires theory
  4054 Library/Sum_Of_Squares.  It is not a complete decision procedure but
  4055 works well in practice on quantifier-free real arithmetic with +, -,
  4056 *, ^, =, <= and <, i.e. boolean combinations of equalities and
  4057 inequalities between polynomials.  It makes use of external
  4058 semidefinite programming solvers.  Method "sos" generates a
  4059 certificate that can be pasted into the proof thus avoiding the need
  4060 to call an external tool every time the proof is checked.  See
  4061 src/HOL/Library/Sum_Of_Squares.
  4062 
  4063 * New method "linarith" invokes existing linear arithmetic decision
  4064 procedure only.
  4065 
  4066 * New command 'atp_minimal' reduces result produced by Sledgehammer.
  4067 
  4068 * New Sledgehammer option "Full Types" in Proof General settings menu.
  4069 Causes full type information to be output to the ATPs.  This slows
  4070 ATPs down considerably but eliminates a source of unsound "proofs"
  4071 that fail later.
  4072 
  4073 * New method "metisFT": A version of metis that uses full type
  4074 information in order to avoid failures of proof reconstruction.
  4075 
  4076 * New evaluator "approximate" approximates an real valued term using
  4077 the same method as the approximation method.
  4078 
  4079 * Method "approximate" now supports arithmetic expressions as
  4080 boundaries of intervals and implements interval splitting and Taylor
  4081 series expansion.
  4082 
  4083 * ML antiquotation @{code_datatype} inserts definition of a datatype
  4084 generated by the code generator; e.g. see src/HOL/Predicate.thy.
  4085 
  4086 * New theory SupInf of the supremum and infimum operators for sets of
  4087 reals.
  4088 
  4089 * New theory Probability, which contains a development of measure
  4090 theory, eventually leading to Lebesgue integration and probability.
  4091 
  4092 * Extended Multivariate Analysis to include derivation and Brouwer's
  4093 fixpoint theorem.
  4094 
  4095 * Reorganization of number theory, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4096   - new number theory development for nat and int, in theories Divides
  4097     and GCD as well as in new session Number_Theory
  4098   - some constants and facts now suffixed with _nat and _int
  4099     accordingly
  4100   - former session NumberTheory now named Old_Number_Theory, including
  4101     theories Legacy_GCD and Primes (prefer Number_Theory if possible)
  4102   - moved theory Pocklington from src/HOL/Library to
  4103     src/HOL/Old_Number_Theory
  4104 
  4105 * Theory GCD includes functions Gcd/GCD and Lcm/LCM for the gcd and
  4106 lcm of finite and infinite sets. It is shown that they form a complete
  4107 lattice.
  4108 
  4109 * Class semiring_div requires superclass no_zero_divisors and proof of
  4110 div_mult_mult1; theorems div_mult_mult1, div_mult_mult2,
  4111 div_mult_mult1_if, div_mult_mult1 and div_mult_mult2 have been
  4112 generalized to class semiring_div, subsuming former theorems
  4113 zdiv_zmult_zmult1, zdiv_zmult_zmult1_if, zdiv_zmult_zmult1 and
  4114 zdiv_zmult_zmult2.  div_mult_mult1 is now [simp] by default.
  4115 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4116 
  4117 * Refinements to lattice classes and sets:
  4118   - less default intro/elim rules in locale variant, more default
  4119     intro/elim rules in class variant: more uniformity
  4120   - lemma ge_sup_conv renamed to le_sup_iff, in accordance with
  4121     le_inf_iff
  4122   - dropped lemma alias inf_ACI for inf_aci (same for sup_ACI and
  4123     sup_aci)
  4124   - renamed ACI to inf_sup_aci
  4125   - new class "boolean_algebra"
  4126   - class "complete_lattice" moved to separate theory
  4127     "Complete_Lattice"; corresponding constants (and abbreviations)
  4128     renamed and with authentic syntax:
  4129     Set.Inf ~>    Complete_Lattice.Inf
  4130     Set.Sup ~>    Complete_Lattice.Sup
  4131     Set.INFI ~>   Complete_Lattice.INFI
  4132     Set.SUPR ~>   Complete_Lattice.SUPR
  4133     Set.Inter ~>  Complete_Lattice.Inter
  4134     Set.Union ~>  Complete_Lattice.Union
  4135     Set.INTER ~>  Complete_Lattice.INTER
  4136     Set.UNION ~>  Complete_Lattice.UNION
  4137   - authentic syntax for
  4138     Set.Pow
  4139     Set.image
  4140   - mere abbreviations:
  4141     Set.empty               (for bot)
  4142     Set.UNIV                (for top)
  4143     Set.inter               (for inf, formerly Set.Int)
  4144     Set.union               (for sup, formerly Set.Un)
  4145     Complete_Lattice.Inter  (for Inf)
  4146     Complete_Lattice.Union  (for Sup)
  4147     Complete_Lattice.INTER  (for INFI)
  4148     Complete_Lattice.UNION  (for SUPR)
  4149   - object-logic definitions as far as appropriate
  4150 
  4151 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Care is required when theorems Int_subset_iff or
  4152 Un_subset_iff are explicitly deleted as default simp rules; then also
  4153 their lattice counterparts le_inf_iff and le_sup_iff have to be
  4154 deleted to achieve the desired effect.
  4155 
  4156 * Rules inf_absorb1, inf_absorb2, sup_absorb1, sup_absorb2 are no simp
  4157 rules by default any longer; the same applies to min_max.inf_absorb1
  4158 etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4159 
  4160 * Rules sup_Int_eq and sup_Un_eq are no longer declared as
  4161 pred_set_conv by default.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4162 
  4163 * Power operations on relations and functions are now one dedicated
  4164 constant "compow" with infix syntax "^^".  Power operation on
  4165 multiplicative monoids retains syntax "^" and is now defined generic
  4166 in class power.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4167 
  4168 * Relation composition "R O S" now has a more standard argument order:
  4169 "R O S = {(x, z). EX y. (x, y) : R & (y, z) : S}".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4170 rewrite propositions with "S O R" --> "R O S". Proofs may occasionally
  4171 break, since the O_assoc rule was not rewritten like this.  Fix using
  4172 O_assoc[symmetric].  The same applies to the curried version "R OO S".
  4173 
  4174 * Function "Inv" is renamed to "inv_into" and function "inv" is now an
  4175 abbreviation for "inv_into UNIV".  Lemmas are renamed accordingly.
  4176 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4177 
  4178 * Most rules produced by inductive and datatype package have mandatory
  4179 prefixes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4180 
  4181 * Changed "DERIV_intros" to a dynamic fact, which can be augmented by
  4182 the attribute of the same name.  Each of the theorems in the list
  4183 DERIV_intros assumes composition with an additional function and
  4184 matches a variable to the derivative, which has to be solved by the
  4185 Simplifier.  Hence (auto intro!: DERIV_intros) computes the derivative
  4186 of most elementary terms.  Former Maclauren.DERIV_tac and
  4187 Maclauren.deriv_tac should be replaced by (auto intro!: DERIV_intros).
  4188 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4189 
  4190 * Code generator attributes follow the usual underscore convention:
  4191     code_unfold     replaces    code unfold
  4192     code_post       replaces    code post
  4193     etc.
  4194   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4195 
  4196 * Renamed methods:
  4197     sizechange -> size_change
  4198     induct_scheme -> induction_schema
  4199   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4200 
  4201 * Discontinued abbreviation "arbitrary" of constant "undefined".
  4202 INCOMPATIBILITY, use "undefined" directly.
  4203 
  4204 * Renamed theorems:
  4205     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  4206     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1_left -> Suc_eq_plus1_left
  4207     Suc_plus1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  4208     *anti_sym -> *antisym*
  4209     vector_less_eq_def -> vector_le_def
  4210   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4211 
  4212 * Added theorem List.map_map as [simp].  Removed List.map_compose.
  4213 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4214 
  4215 * Removed predicate "M hassize n" (<--> card M = n & finite M).
  4216 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4217 
  4218 
  4219 *** HOLCF ***
  4220 
  4221 * Theory Representable defines a class "rep" of domains that are
  4222 representable (via an ep-pair) in the universal domain type "udom".
  4223 Instances are provided for all type constructors defined in HOLCF.
  4224 
  4225 * The 'new_domain' command is a purely definitional version of the
  4226 domain package, for representable domains.  Syntax is identical to the
  4227 old domain package.  The 'new_domain' package also supports indirect
  4228 recursion using previously-defined type constructors.  See
  4229 src/HOLCF/ex/New_Domain.thy for examples.
  4230 
  4231 * Method "fixrec_simp" unfolds one step of a fixrec-defined constant
  4232 on the left-hand side of an equation, and then performs
  4233 simplification.  Rewriting is done using rules declared with the
  4234 "fixrec_simp" attribute.  The "fixrec_simp" method is intended as a
  4235 replacement for "fixpat"; see src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples.
  4236 
  4237 * The pattern-match compiler in 'fixrec' can now handle constructors
  4238 with HOL function types.  Pattern-match combinators for the Pair
  4239 constructor are pre-configured.
  4240 
  4241 * The 'fixrec' package now produces better fixed-point induction rules
  4242 for mutually-recursive definitions:  Induction rules have conclusions
  4243 of the form "P foo bar" instead of "P <foo, bar>".
  4244 
  4245 * The constant "sq_le" (with infix syntax "<<" or "\<sqsubseteq>") has
  4246 been renamed to "below".  The name "below" now replaces "less" in many
  4247 theorem names.  (Legacy theorem names using "less" are still supported
  4248 as well.)
  4249 
  4250 * The 'fixrec' package now supports "bottom patterns".  Bottom
  4251 patterns can be used to generate strictness rules, or to make
  4252 functions more strict (much like the bang-patterns supported by the
  4253 Glasgow Haskell Compiler).  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  4254 examples.
  4255 
  4256 
  4257 *** ML ***
  4258 
  4259 * Support for Poly/ML 5.3.0, with improved reporting of compiler
  4260 errors and run-time exceptions, including detailed source positions.
  4261 
  4262 * Structure Name_Space (formerly NameSpace) now manages uniquely
  4263 identified entries, with some additional information such as source
  4264 position, logical grouping etc.
  4265 
  4266 * Theory and context data is now introduced by the simplified and
  4267 modernized functors Theory_Data, Proof_Data, Generic_Data.  Data needs
  4268 to be pure, but the old TheoryDataFun for mutable data (with explicit
  4269 copy operation) is still available for some time.
  4270 
  4271 * Structure Synchronized (cf. src/Pure/Concurrent/synchronized.ML)
  4272 provides a high-level programming interface to synchronized state
  4273 variables with atomic update.  This works via pure function
  4274 application within a critical section -- its runtime should be as
  4275 short as possible; beware of deadlocks if critical code is nested,
  4276 either directly or indirectly via other synchronized variables!
  4277 
  4278 * Structure Unsynchronized (cf. src/Pure/ML-Systems/unsynchronized.ML)
  4279 wraps raw ML references, explicitly indicating their non-thread-safe
  4280 behaviour.  The Isar toplevel keeps this structure open, to
  4281 accommodate Proof General as well as quick and dirty interactive
  4282 experiments with references.
  4283 
  4284 * PARALLEL_CHOICE and PARALLEL_GOALS provide basic support for
  4285 parallel tactical reasoning.
  4286 
  4287 * Tacticals Subgoal.FOCUS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PREMS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PARAMS
  4288 are similar to SUBPROOF, but are slightly more flexible: only the
  4289 specified parts of the subgoal are imported into the context, and the
  4290 body tactic may introduce new subgoals and schematic variables.
  4291 
  4292 * Old tactical METAHYPS, which does not observe the proof context, has
  4293 been renamed to Old_Goals.METAHYPS and awaits deletion.  Use SUBPROOF
  4294 or Subgoal.FOCUS etc.
  4295 
  4296 * Renamed functor TableFun to Table, and GraphFun to Graph.  (Since
  4297 functors have their own ML name space there is no point to mark them
  4298 separately.)  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4299 
  4300 * Renamed NamedThmsFun to Named_Thms.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4301 
  4302 * Renamed several structures FooBar to Foo_Bar.  Occasional,
  4303 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4304 
  4305 * Operations of structure Skip_Proof no longer require quick_and_dirty
  4306 mode, which avoids critical setmp.
  4307 
  4308 * Eliminated old Attrib.add_attributes, Method.add_methods and related
  4309 combinators for "args".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use simplified
  4310 Attrib/Method.setup introduced in Isabelle2009.
  4311 
  4312 * Proper context for simpset_of, claset_of, clasimpset_of.  May fall
  4313 back on global_simpset_of, global_claset_of, global_clasimpset_of as
  4314 last resort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4315 
  4316 * Display.pretty_thm now requires a proper context (cf. former
  4317 ProofContext.pretty_thm).  May fall back on Display.pretty_thm_global
  4318 or even Display.pretty_thm_without_context as last resort.
  4319 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4320 
  4321 * Discontinued Display.pretty_ctyp/cterm etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  4322 Syntax.pretty_typ/term directly, preferably with proper context
  4323 instead of global theory.
  4324 
  4325 
  4326 *** System ***
  4327 
  4328 * Further fine tuning of parallel proof checking, scales up to 8 cores
  4329 (max. speedup factor 5.0).  See also Goal.parallel_proofs in ML and
  4330 usedir option -q.
  4331 
  4332 * Support for additional "Isabelle components" via etc/components, see
  4333 also the system manual.
  4334 
  4335 * The isabelle makeall tool now operates on all components with
  4336 IsaMakefile, not just hardwired "logics".
  4337 
  4338 * Removed "compress" option from isabelle-process and isabelle usedir;
  4339 this is always enabled.
  4340 
  4341 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 4.x versions.
  4342 
  4343 * Isabelle tool "wwwfind" provides web interface for 'find_theorems'
  4344 on a given logic image.  This requires the lighttpd webserver and is
  4345 currently supported on Linux only.
  4346 
  4347 
  4348 
  4349 New in Isabelle2009 (April 2009)
  4350 --------------------------------
  4351 
  4352 *** General ***
  4353 
  4354 * Simplified main Isabelle executables, with less surprises on
  4355 case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  4356 
  4357   - The main Isabelle tool wrapper is now called "isabelle" instead of
  4358     "isatool."
  4359 
  4360   - The former "isabelle" alias for "isabelle-process" has been
  4361     removed (should rarely occur to regular users).
  4362 
  4363   - The former "isabelle-interface" and its alias "Isabelle" have been
  4364     removed (interfaces are now regular Isabelle tools).
  4365 
  4366 Within scripts and make files, the Isabelle environment variables
  4367 ISABELLE_TOOL and ISABELLE_PROCESS replace old ISATOOL and ISABELLE,
  4368 respectively.  (The latter are still available as legacy feature.)
  4369 
  4370 The old isabelle-interface wrapper could react in confusing ways if
  4371 the interface was uninstalled or changed otherwise.  Individual
  4372 interface tool configuration is now more explicit, see also the
  4373 Isabelle system manual.  In particular, Proof General is now available
  4374 via "isabelle emacs".
  4375 
  4376 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt derivative scripts.  Users may need to
  4377 purge installed copies of Isabelle executables and re-run "isabelle
  4378 install -p ...", or use symlinks.
  4379 
  4380 * The default for ISABELLE_HOME_USER is now ~/.isabelle instead of the
  4381 old ~/isabelle, which was slightly non-standard and apt to cause
  4382 surprises on case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  4383 
  4384 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to move existing ~/isabelle/etc,
  4385 ~/isabelle/heaps, ~/isabelle/browser_info to the new place.  Special
  4386 care is required when using older releases of Isabelle.  Note that
  4387 ISABELLE_HOME_USER can be changed in Isabelle/etc/settings of any
  4388 Isabelle distribution, in order to use the new ~/.isabelle uniformly.
  4389 
  4390 * Proofs of fully specified statements are run in parallel on
  4391 multi-core systems.  A speedup factor of 2.5 to 3.2 can be expected on
  4392 a regular 4-core machine, if the initial heap space is made reasonably
  4393 large (cf. Poly/ML option -H).  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  4394 
  4395 * The main reference manuals ("isar-ref", "implementation", and
  4396 "system") have been updated and extended.  Formally checked references
  4397 as hyperlinks are now available uniformly.
  4398 
  4399 
  4400 *** Pure ***
  4401 
  4402 * Complete re-implementation of locales.  INCOMPATIBILITY in several
  4403 respects.  The most important changes are listed below.  See the
  4404 Tutorial on Locales ("locales" manual) for details.
  4405 
  4406 - In locale expressions, instantiation replaces renaming.  Parameters
  4407 must be declared in a for clause.  To aid compatibility with previous
  4408 parameter inheritance, in locale declarations, parameters that are not
  4409 'touched' (instantiation position "_" or omitted) are implicitly added
  4410 with their syntax at the beginning of the for clause.
  4411 
  4412 - Syntax from abbreviations and definitions in locales is available in
  4413 locale expressions and context elements.  The latter is particularly
  4414 useful in locale declarations.
  4415 
  4416 - More flexible mechanisms to qualify names generated by locale
  4417 expressions.  Qualifiers (prefixes) may be specified in locale
  4418 expressions, and can be marked as mandatory (syntax: "name!:") or
  4419 optional (syntax "name?:").  The default depends for plain "name:"
  4420 depends on the situation where a locale expression is used: in
  4421 commands 'locale' and 'sublocale' prefixes are optional, in
  4422 'interpretation' and 'interpret' prefixes are mandatory.  The old
  4423 implicit qualifiers derived from the parameter names of a locale are
  4424 no longer generated.
  4425 
  4426 - Command "sublocale l < e" replaces "interpretation l < e".  The
  4427 instantiation clause in "interpretation" and "interpret" (square
  4428 brackets) is no longer available.  Use locale expressions.
  4429 
  4430 - When converting proof scripts, mandatory qualifiers in
  4431 'interpretation' and 'interpret' should be retained by default, even
  4432 if this is an INCOMPATIBILITY compared to former behavior.  In the
  4433 worst case, use the "name?:" form for non-mandatory ones.  Qualifiers
  4434 in locale expressions range over a single locale instance only.
  4435 
  4436 - Dropped locale element "includes".  This is a major INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4437 In existing theorem specifications replace the includes element by the
  4438 respective context elements of the included locale, omitting those
  4439 that are already present in the theorem specification.  Multiple
  4440 assume elements of a locale should be replaced by a single one
  4441 involving the locale predicate.  In the proof body, declarations (most
  4442 notably theorems) may be regained by interpreting the respective
  4443 locales in the proof context as required (command "interpret").
  4444 
  4445 If using "includes" in replacement of a target solely because the
  4446 parameter types in the theorem are not as general as in the target,
  4447 consider declaring a new locale with additional type constraints on
  4448 the parameters (context element "constrains").
  4449 
  4450 - Discontinued "locale (open)".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4451 
  4452 - Locale interpretation commands no longer attempt to simplify goal.
  4453 INCOMPATIBILITY: in rare situations the generated goal differs.  Use
  4454 methods intro_locales and unfold_locales to clarify.
  4455 
  4456 - Locale interpretation commands no longer accept interpretation
  4457 attributes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4458 
  4459 * Class declaration: so-called "base sort" must not be given in import
  4460 list any longer, but is inferred from the specification.  Particularly
  4461 in HOL, write
  4462 
  4463     class foo = ...
  4464 
  4465 instead of
  4466 
  4467     class foo = type + ...
  4468 
  4469 * Class target: global versions of theorems stemming do not carry a
  4470 parameter prefix any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4471 
  4472 * Class 'instance' command no longer accepts attached definitions.
  4473 INCOMPATIBILITY, use proper 'instantiation' target instead.
  4474 
  4475 * Recovered hiding of consts, which was accidentally broken in
  4476 Isabelle2007.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, ``hide const c'' really
  4477 makes c inaccessible; consider using ``hide (open) const c'' instead.
  4478 
  4479 * Slightly more coherent Pure syntax, with updated documentation in
  4480 isar-ref manual.  Removed locales meta_term_syntax and
  4481 meta_conjunction_syntax: TERM and &&& (formerly &&) are now permanent,
  4482 INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations.  Note that &&& should not be used
  4483 directly in regular applications.
  4484 
  4485 * There is a new syntactic category "float_const" for signed decimal
  4486 fractions (e.g. 123.45 or -123.45).
  4487 
  4488 * Removed exotic 'token_translation' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML
  4489 interface with 'setup' command instead.
  4490 
  4491 * Command 'local_setup' is similar to 'setup', but operates on a local
  4492 theory context.
  4493 
  4494 * The 'axiomatization' command now only works within a global theory
  4495 context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4496 
  4497 * Goal-directed proof now enforces strict proof irrelevance wrt. sort
  4498 hypotheses.  Sorts required in the course of reasoning need to be
  4499 covered by the constraints in the initial statement, completed by the
  4500 type instance information of the background theory.  Non-trivial sort
  4501 hypotheses, which rarely occur in practice, may be specified via
  4502 vacuous propositions of the form SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::c).  For example:
  4503 
  4504   lemma assumes "SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::empty)" shows False ...
  4505 
  4506 The result contains an implicit sort hypotheses as before --
  4507 SORT_CONSTRAINT premises are eliminated as part of the canonical rule
  4508 normalization.
  4509 
  4510 * Generalized Isar history, with support for linear undo, direct state
  4511 addressing etc.
  4512 
  4513 * Changed defaults for unify configuration options:
  4514 
  4515   unify_trace_bound = 50 (formerly 25)
  4516   unify_search_bound = 60 (formerly 30)
  4517 
  4518 * Different bookkeeping for code equations (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  4519 
  4520   a) On theory merge, the last set of code equations for a particular
  4521      constant is taken (in accordance with the policy applied by other
  4522      parts of the code generator framework).
  4523 
  4524   b) Code equations stemming from explicit declarations (e.g. code
  4525      attribute) gain priority over default code equations stemming
  4526      from definition, primrec, fun etc.
  4527 
  4528 * Keyword 'code_exception' now named 'code_abort'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4529 
  4530 * Unified theorem tables for both code generators.  Thus [code
  4531 func] has disappeared and only [code] remains.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4532 
  4533 * Command 'find_consts' searches for constants based on type and name
  4534 patterns, e.g.
  4535 
  4536     find_consts "_ => bool"
  4537 
  4538 By default, matching is against subtypes, but it may be restricted to
  4539 the whole type.  Searching by name is possible.  Multiple queries are
  4540 conjunctive and queries may be negated by prefixing them with a
  4541 hyphen:
  4542 
  4543     find_consts strict: "_ => bool" name: "Int" -"int => int"
  4544 
  4545 * New 'find_theorems' criterion "solves" matches theorems that
  4546 directly solve the current goal (modulo higher-order unification).
  4547 
  4548 * Auto solve feature for main theorem statements: whenever a new goal
  4549 is stated, "find_theorems solves" is called; any theorems that could
  4550 solve the lemma directly are listed as part of the goal state.
  4551 Cf. associated options in Proof General Isabelle settings menu,
  4552 enabled by default, with reasonable timeout for pathological cases of
  4553 higher-order unification.
  4554 
  4555 
  4556 *** Document preparation ***
  4557 
  4558 * Antiquotation @{lemma} now imitates a regular terminal proof,
  4559 demanding keyword 'by' and supporting the full method expression
  4560 syntax just like the Isar command 'by'.
  4561 
  4562 
  4563 *** HOL ***
  4564 
  4565 * Integrated main parts of former image HOL-Complex with HOL.  Entry
  4566 points Main and Complex_Main remain as before.
  4567 
  4568 * Logic image HOL-Plain provides a minimal HOL with the most important
  4569 tools available (inductive, datatype, primrec, ...).  This facilitates
  4570 experimentation and tool development.  Note that user applications
  4571 (and library theories) should never refer to anything below theory
  4572 Main, as before.
  4573 
  4574 * Logic image HOL-Main stops at theory Main, and thus facilitates
  4575 experimentation due to shorter build times.
  4576 
  4577 * Logic image HOL-NSA contains theories of nonstandard analysis which
  4578 were previously part of former HOL-Complex.  Entry point Hyperreal
  4579 remains valid, but theories formerly using Complex_Main should now use
  4580 new entry point Hypercomplex.
  4581 
  4582 * Generic ATP manager for Sledgehammer, based on ML threads instead of
  4583 Posix processes.  Avoids potentially expensive forking of the ML
  4584 process.  New thread-based implementation also works on non-Unix
  4585 platforms (Cygwin).  Provers are no longer hardwired, but defined
  4586 within the theory via plain ML wrapper functions.  Basic Sledgehammer
  4587 commands are covered in the isar-ref manual.
  4588 
  4589 * Wrapper scripts for remote SystemOnTPTP service allows to use
  4590 sledgehammer without local ATP installation (Vampire etc.). Other
  4591 provers may be included via suitable ML wrappers, see also
  4592 src/HOL/ATP_Linkup.thy.
  4593 
  4594 * ATP selection (E/Vampire/Spass) is now via Proof General's settings
  4595 menu.
  4596 
  4597 * The metis method no longer fails because the theorem is too trivial
  4598 (contains the empty clause).
  4599 
  4600 * The metis method now fails in the usual manner, rather than raising
  4601 an exception, if it determines that it cannot prove the theorem.
  4602 
  4603 * Method "coherent" implements a prover for coherent logic (see also
  4604 src/Tools/coherent.ML).
  4605 
  4606 * Constants "undefined" and "default" replace "arbitrary".  Usually
  4607 "undefined" is the right choice to replace "arbitrary", though
  4608 logically there is no difference.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4609 
  4610 * Command "value" now integrates different evaluation mechanisms.  The
  4611 result of the first successful evaluation mechanism is printed.  In
  4612 square brackets a particular named evaluation mechanisms may be
  4613 specified (currently, [SML], [code] or [nbe]).  See further
  4614 src/HOL/ex/Eval_Examples.thy.
  4615 
  4616 * Normalization by evaluation now allows non-leftlinear equations.
  4617 Declare with attribute [code nbe].
  4618 
  4619 * Methods "case_tac" and "induct_tac" now refer to the very same rules
  4620 as the structured Isar versions "cases" and "induct", cf. the
  4621 corresponding "cases" and "induct" attributes.  Mutual induction rules
  4622 are now presented as a list of individual projections
  4623 (e.g. foo_bar.inducts for types foo and bar); the old format with
  4624 explicit HOL conjunction is no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  4625 rare situations a different rule is selected --- notably nested tuple
  4626 elimination instead of former prod.exhaust: use explicit (case_tac t
  4627 rule: prod.exhaust) here.
  4628 
  4629 * Attributes "cases", "induct", "coinduct" support "del" option.
  4630 
  4631 * Removed fact "case_split_thm", which duplicates "case_split".
  4632 
  4633 * The option datatype has been moved to a new theory Option.  Renamed
  4634 option_map to Option.map, and o2s to Option.set, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4635 
  4636 * New predicate "strict_mono" classifies strict functions on partial
  4637 orders.  With strict functions on linear orders, reasoning about
  4638 (in)equalities is facilitated by theorems "strict_mono_eq",
  4639 "strict_mono_less_eq" and "strict_mono_less".
  4640 
  4641 * Some set operations are now proper qualified constants with
  4642 authentic syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4643 
  4644     op Int ~>   Set.Int
  4645     op Un ~>    Set.Un
  4646     INTER ~>    Set.INTER
  4647     UNION ~>    Set.UNION
  4648     Inter ~>    Set.Inter
  4649     Union ~>    Set.Union
  4650     {} ~>       Set.empty
  4651     UNIV ~>     Set.UNIV
  4652 
  4653 * Class complete_lattice with operations Inf, Sup, INFI, SUPR now in
  4654 theory Set.
  4655 
  4656 * Auxiliary class "itself" has disappeared -- classes without any
  4657 parameter are treated as expected by the 'class' command.
  4658 
  4659 * Leibnitz's Series for Pi and the arcus tangens and logarithm series.
  4660 
  4661 * Common decision procedures (Cooper, MIR, Ferrack, Approximation,
  4662 Dense_Linear_Order) are now in directory HOL/Decision_Procs.
  4663 
  4664 * Theory src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation provides the new proof
  4665 method "approximation".  It proves formulas on real values by using
  4666 interval arithmetic.  In the formulas are also the transcendental
  4667 functions sin, cos, tan, atan, ln, exp and the constant pi are
  4668 allowed. For examples see
  4669 src/HOL/Descision_Procs/ex/Approximation_Ex.thy.
  4670 
  4671 * Theory "Reflection" now resides in HOL/Library.
  4672 
  4673 * Entry point to Word library now simply named "Word".
  4674 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4675 
  4676 * Made source layout more coherent with logical distribution
  4677 structure:

  4730 
  4731 * If methods "eval" and "evaluation" encounter a structured proof
  4732 state with !!/==>, only the conclusion is evaluated to True (if
  4733 possible), avoiding strange error messages.
  4734 
  4735 * Method "sizechange" automates termination proofs using (a
  4736 modification of) the size-change principle.  Requires SAT solver.  See
  4737 src/HOL/ex/Termination.thy for examples.
  4738 
  4739 * Simplifier: simproc for let expressions now unfolds if bound
  4740 variable occurs at most once in let expression body.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4741 
  4742 * Method "arith": Linear arithmetic now ignores all inequalities when
  4743 fast_arith_neq_limit is exceeded, instead of giving up entirely.
  4744 
  4745 * New attribute "arith" for facts that should always be used
  4746 automatically by arithmetic. It is intended to be used locally in
  4747 proofs, e.g.
  4748 
  4749   assumes [arith]: "x > 0"
  4750 
  4751 Global usage is discouraged because of possible performance impact.
  4752 
  4753 * New classes "top" and "bot" with corresponding operations "top" and
  4754 "bot" in theory Orderings; instantiation of class "complete_lattice"
  4755 requires instantiation of classes "top" and "bot".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4756 
  4757 * Changed definition lemma "less_fun_def" in order to provide an
  4758 instance for preorders on functions; use lemma "less_le" instead.
  4759 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4760 
  4761 * Theory Orderings: class "wellorder" moved here, with explicit
  4762 induction rule "less_induct" as assumption.  For instantiation of
  4763 "wellorder" by means of predicate "wf", use rule wf_wellorderI.
  4764 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4765 
  4766 * Theory Orderings: added class "preorder" as superclass of "order".
  4767 INCOMPATIBILITY: Instantiation proofs for order, linorder
  4768 etc. slightly changed.  Some theorems named order_class.* now named
  4769 preorder_class.*.
  4770 
  4771 * Theory Relation: renamed "refl" to "refl_on", "reflexive" to "refl,
  4772 "diag" to "Id_on".
  4773 
  4774 * Theory Finite_Set: added a new fold combinator of type
  4775 
  4776   ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  4777 
  4778 Occasionally this is more convenient than the old fold combinator
  4779 which is now defined in terms of the new one and renamed to
  4780 fold_image.
  4781 
  4782 * Theories Ring_and_Field and OrderedGroup: The lemmas "group_simps"
  4783 and "ring_simps" have been replaced by "algebra_simps" (which can be
  4784 extended with further lemmas!).  At the moment both still exist but
  4785 the former will disappear at some point.
  4786 
  4787 * Theory Power: Lemma power_Suc is now declared as a simp rule in
  4788 class recpower.  Type-specific simp rules for various recpower types
  4789 have been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, rename old lemmas as follows:
  4790 
  4791 rat_power_0    -> power_0
  4792 rat_power_Suc  -> power_Suc
  4793 realpow_0      -> power_0
  4794 realpow_Suc    -> power_Suc
  4795 complexpow_0   -> power_0
  4796 complexpow_Suc -> power_Suc
  4797 power_poly_0   -> power_0
  4798 power_poly_Suc -> power_Suc
  4799 
  4800 * Theories Ring_and_Field and Divides: Definition of "op dvd" has been
  4801 moved to separate class dvd in Ring_and_Field; a couple of lemmas on
  4802 dvd has been generalized to class comm_semiring_1.  Likewise a bunch
  4803 of lemmas from Divides has been generalized from nat to class
  4804 semiring_div.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  This involves the following theorem
  4805 renames resulting from duplicate elimination:
  4806 
  4807     dvd_def_mod ~>          dvd_eq_mod_eq_0
  4808     zero_dvd_iff ~>         dvd_0_left_iff
  4809     dvd_0 ~>                dvd_0_right
  4810     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_DIV ~> div_by_0
  4811     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_MOD ~> mod_by_0
  4812     mult_div ~>             div_mult_self2_is_id
  4813     mult_mod ~>             mod_mult_self2_is_0
  4814 
  4815 * Theory IntDiv: removed many lemmas that are instances of class-based
  4816 generalizations (from Divides and Ring_and_Field).  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4817 rename old lemmas as follows:
  4818 
  4819 dvd_diff               -> nat_dvd_diff
  4820 dvd_zminus_iff         -> dvd_minus_iff

  4824 mod_mult_distrib_mod   -> mod_mult_eq
  4825 nat_mod_add_left_eq    -> mod_add_left_eq
  4826 nat_mod_add_right_eq   -> mod_add_right_eq
  4827 nat_mod_div_trivial    -> mod_div_trivial
  4828 nat_mod_mod_trivial    -> mod_mod_trivial
  4829 zdiv_zadd_self1        -> div_add_self1
  4830 zdiv_zadd_self2        -> div_add_self2
  4831 zdiv_zmult_self1       -> div_mult_self2_is_id
  4832 zdiv_zmult_self2       -> div_mult_self1_is_id
  4833 zdvd_triv_left         -> dvd_triv_left
  4834 zdvd_triv_right        -> dvd_triv_right
  4835 zdvd_zmult_cancel_disj -> dvd_mult_cancel_left
  4836 zmod_eq0_zdvd_iff      -> dvd_eq_mod_eq_0[symmetric]
  4837 zmod_zadd_left_eq      -> mod_add_left_eq
  4838 zmod_zadd_right_eq     -> mod_add_right_eq
  4839 zmod_zadd_self1        -> mod_add_self1
  4840 zmod_zadd_self2        -> mod_add_self2
  4841 zmod_zadd1_eq          -> mod_add_eq
  4842 zmod_zdiff1_eq         -> mod_diff_eq
  4843 zmod_zdvd_zmod         -> mod_mod_cancel
  4844 zmod_zmod_cancel       -> mod_mod_cancel
  4845 zmod_zmult_self1       -> mod_mult_self2_is_0
  4846 zmod_zmult_self2       -> mod_mult_self1_is_0
  4847 zmod_1                 -> mod_by_1
  4848 zdiv_1                 -> div_by_1
  4849 zdvd_abs1              -> abs_dvd_iff
  4850 zdvd_abs2              -> dvd_abs_iff
  4851 zdvd_refl              -> dvd_refl
  4852 zdvd_trans             -> dvd_trans
  4853 zdvd_zadd              -> dvd_add
  4854 zdvd_zdiff             -> dvd_diff
  4855 zdvd_zminus_iff        -> dvd_minus_iff
  4856 zdvd_zminus2_iff       -> minus_dvd_iff
  4857 zdvd_zmultD            -> dvd_mult_right
  4858 zdvd_zmultD2           -> dvd_mult_left
  4859 zdvd_zmult_mono        -> mult_dvd_mono
  4860 zdvd_0_right           -> dvd_0_right
  4861 zdvd_0_left            -> dvd_0_left_iff
  4862 zdvd_1_left            -> one_dvd
  4863 zminus_dvd_iff         -> minus_dvd_iff
  4864 
  4865 * Theory Rational: 'Fract k 0' now equals '0'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4866 
  4867 * The real numbers offer decimal input syntax: 12.34 is translated
  4868 into 1234/10^2. This translation is not reversed upon output.
  4869 
  4870 * Theory Library/Polynomial defines an abstract type 'a poly of
  4871 univariate polynomials with coefficients of type 'a.  In addition to
  4872 the standard ring operations, it also supports div and mod.  Code
  4873 generation is also supported, using list-style constructors.
  4874 
  4875 * Theory Library/Inner_Product defines a class of real_inner for real
  4876 inner product spaces, with an overloaded operation inner :: 'a => 'a
  4877 => real.  Class real_inner is a subclass of real_normed_vector from
  4878 theory RealVector.
  4879 
  4880 * Theory Library/Product_Vector provides instances for the product
  4881 type 'a * 'b of several classes from RealVector and Inner_Product.
  4882 Definitions of addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, norms,
  4883 and inner products are included.
  4884 
  4885 * Theory Library/Bit defines the field "bit" of integers modulo 2.  In
  4886 addition to the field operations, numerals and case syntax are also
  4887 supported.
  4888 
  4889 * Theory Library/Diagonalize provides constructive version of Cantor's
  4890 first diagonalization argument.
  4891 
  4892 * Theory Library/GCD: Curried operations gcd, lcm (for nat) and zgcd,
  4893 zlcm (for int); carried together from various gcd/lcm developements in
  4894 the HOL Distribution.  Constants zgcd and zlcm replace former igcd and
  4895 ilcm; corresponding theorems renamed accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4896 may recover tupled syntax as follows:
  4897 
  4898     hide (open) const gcd
  4899     abbreviation gcd where
  4900       "gcd == (%(a, b). GCD.gcd a b)"
  4901     notation (output)
  4902       GCD.gcd ("gcd '(_, _')")
  4903 
  4904 The same works for lcm, zgcd, zlcm.
  4905 
  4906 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity: added addition, numeral syntax and more
  4907 instantiations for algebraic structures.  Removed some duplicate
  4908 theorems.  Changes in simp rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4909 
  4910 * ML antiquotation @{code} takes a constant as argument and generates
  4911 corresponding code in background and inserts name of the corresponding
  4912 resulting ML value/function/datatype constructor binding in place.
  4913 All occurrences of @{code} with a single ML block are generated
  4914 simultaneously.  Provides a generic and safe interface for
  4915 instrumentalizing code generation.  See
  4916 src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Ferrack.thy for a more ambitious application.
  4917 In future you ought to refrain from ad-hoc compiling generated SML
  4918 code on the ML toplevel.  Note that (for technical reasons) @{code}
  4919 cannot refer to constants for which user-defined serializations are
  4920 set.  Refer to the corresponding ML counterpart directly in that
  4921 cases.
  4922 
  4923 * Command 'rep_datatype': instead of theorem names the command now
  4924 takes a list of terms denoting the constructors of the type to be
  4925 represented as datatype.  The characteristic theorems have to be
  4926 proven.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Also observe that the following theorems
  4927 have disappeared in favour of existing ones:
  4928 
  4929     unit_induct                 ~> unit.induct
  4930     prod_induct                 ~> prod.induct
  4931     sum_induct                  ~> sum.induct
  4932     Suc_Suc_eq                  ~> nat.inject
  4933     Suc_not_Zero Zero_not_Suc   ~> nat.distinct
  4934 
  4935 
  4936 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  4937 
  4938 * New locales for orders and lattices where the equivalence relation
  4939 is not restricted to equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY: all order and lattice
  4940 locales use a record structure with field eq for the equivalence.
  4941 
  4942 * New theory of factorial domains.
  4943 
  4944 * Units_l_inv and Units_r_inv are now simp rules by default.
  4945 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Simplifier proof that require deletion of l_inv
  4946 and/or r_inv will now also require deletion of these lemmas.
  4947 
  4948 * Renamed the following theorems, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4949 
  4950 UpperD ~> Upper_memD
  4951 LowerD ~> Lower_memD
  4952 least_carrier ~> least_closed
  4953 greatest_carrier ~> greatest_closed
  4954 greatest_Lower_above ~> greatest_Lower_below
  4955 one_zero ~> carrier_one_zero
  4956 one_not_zero ~> carrier_one_not_zero  (collision with assumption)
  4957 
  4958 
  4959 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  4960 
  4961 * Nominal datatypes can now contain type-variables.
  4962 
  4963 * Commands 'nominal_inductive' and 'equivariance' work with local
  4964 theory targets.
  4965 
  4966 * Nominal primrec can now works with local theory targets and its
  4967 specification syntax now conforms to the general format as seen in
  4968 'inductive' etc.
  4969 
  4970 * Method "perm_simp" honours the standard simplifier attributes
  4971 (no_asm), (no_asm_use) etc.
  4972 
  4973 * The new predicate #* is defined like freshness, except that on the
  4974 left hand side can be a set or list of atoms.
  4975 
  4976 * Experimental command 'nominal_inductive2' derives strong induction
  4977 principles for inductive definitions.  In contrast to
  4978 'nominal_inductive', which can only deal with a fixed number of
  4979 binders, it can deal with arbitrary expressions standing for sets of
  4980 atoms to be avoided.  The only inductive definition we have at the
  4981 moment that needs this generalisation is the typing rule for Lets in
  4982 the algorithm W:
  4983 
  4984  Gamma |- t1 : T1   (x,close Gamma T1)::Gamma |- t2 : T2   x#Gamma
  4985  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  4986          Gamma |- Let x be t1 in t2 : T2
  4987 
  4988 In this rule one wants to avoid all the binders that are introduced by
  4989 "close Gamma T1".  We are looking for other examples where this
  4990 feature might be useful.  Please let us know.
  4991 
  4992 
  4993 *** HOLCF ***
  4994 
  4995 * Reimplemented the simplification procedure for proving continuity
  4996 subgoals.  The new simproc is extensible; users can declare additional
  4997 continuity introduction rules with the attribute [cont2cont].
  4998 
  4999 * The continuity simproc now uses a different introduction rule for
  5000 solving continuity subgoals on terms with lambda abstractions.  In
  5001 some rare cases the new simproc may fail to solve subgoals that the
  5002 old one could solve, and "simp add: cont2cont_LAM" may be necessary.
  5003 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5004 
  5005 * Command 'fixrec': specification syntax now conforms to the general
  5006 format as seen in 'inductive' etc.  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  5007 examples.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5008 
  5009 
  5010 *** ZF ***
  5011 
  5012 * Proof of Zorn's Lemma for partial orders.
  5013 
  5014 
  5015 *** ML ***
  5016 
  5017 * Multithreading for Poly/ML 5.1/5.2 is no longer supported, only for
  5018 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.  Important note: the TimeLimit facility
  5019 depends on multithreading, so timouts will not work before Poly/ML
  5020 5.2.1!
  5021 
  5022 * High-level support for concurrent ML programming, see
  5023 src/Pure/Cuncurrent.  The data-oriented model of "future values" is
  5024 particularly convenient to organize independent functional
  5025 computations.  The concept of "synchronized variables" provides a
  5026 higher-order interface for components with shared state, avoiding the
  5027 delicate details of mutexes and condition variables.  (Requires
  5028 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  5029 
  5030 * ML bindings produced via Isar commands are stored within the Isar
  5031 context (theory or proof).  Consequently, commands like 'use' and 'ML'
  5032 become thread-safe and work with undo as expected (concerning
  5033 top-level bindings, not side-effects on global references).
  5034 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to provide proper Isar context when invoking the
  5035 compiler at runtime; really global bindings need to be given outside a
  5036 theory.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  5037 
  5038 * Command 'ML_prf' is analogous to 'ML' but works within a proof
  5039 context.  Top-level ML bindings are stored within the proof context in
  5040 a purely sequential fashion, disregarding the nested proof structure.
  5041 ML bindings introduced by 'ML_prf' are discarded at the end of the
  5042 proof.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  5043 
  5044 * Simplified ML attribute and method setup, cf. functions Attrib.setup
  5045 and Method.setup, as well as Isar commands 'attribute_setup' and
  5046 'method_setup'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for 'method_setup', need to simplify
  5047 existing code accordingly, or use plain 'setup' together with old
  5048 Method.add_method.
  5049 
  5050 * Simplified ML oracle interface Thm.add_oracle promotes 'a -> cterm
  5051 to 'a -> thm, while results are always tagged with an authentic oracle
  5052 name.  The Isar command 'oracle' is now polymorphic, no argument type
  5053 is specified.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify existing oracle code
  5054 accordingly.  Note that extra performance may be gained by producing
  5055 the cterm carefully, avoiding slow Thm.cterm_of.
  5056 
  5057 * Simplified interface for defining document antiquotations via
  5058 ThyOutput.antiquotation, ThyOutput.output, and optionally
  5059 ThyOutput.maybe_pretty_source.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify user
  5060 antiquotations accordingly, see src/Pure/Thy/thy_output.ML for common
  5061 examples.
  5062 
  5063 * More systematic treatment of long names, abstract name bindings, and
  5064 name space operations.  Basic operations on qualified names have been
  5065 move from structure NameSpace to Long_Name, e.g. Long_Name.base_name,
  5066 Long_Name.append.  Old type bstring has been mostly replaced by
  5067 abstract type binding (see structure Binding), which supports precise
  5068 qualification by packages and local theory targets, as well as proper
  5069 tracking of source positions.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to wrap old
  5070 bstring values into Binding.name, or better pass through abstract
  5071 bindings everywhere.  See further src/Pure/General/long_name.ML,
  5072 src/Pure/General/binding.ML and src/Pure/General/name_space.ML
  5073 
  5074 * Result facts (from PureThy.note_thms, ProofContext.note_thms,
  5075 LocalTheory.note etc.) now refer to the *full* internal name, not the
  5076 bstring as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY, not detected by ML type-checking!
  5077 
  5078 * Disposed old type and term read functions (Sign.read_def_typ,
  5079 Sign.read_typ, Sign.read_def_terms, Sign.read_term,
  5080 Thm.read_def_cterms, Thm.read_cterm etc.).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should
  5081 use regular Syntax.read_typ, Syntax.read_term, Syntax.read_typ_global,
  5082 Syntax.read_term_global etc.; see also OldGoals.read_term as last
  5083 resort for legacy applications.
  5084 
  5085 * Disposed old declarations, tactics, tactic combinators that refer to
  5086 the simpset or claset of an implicit theory (such as Addsimps,
  5087 Simp_tac, SIMPSET).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should use @{simpset} etc. in
  5088 embedded ML text, or local_simpset_of with a proper context passed as
  5089 explicit runtime argument.
  5090 
  5091 * Rules and tactics that read instantiations (read_instantiate,
  5092 res_inst_tac, thin_tac, subgoal_tac etc.) now demand a proper proof
  5093 context, which is required for parsing and type-checking.  Moreover,
  5094 the variables are specified as plain indexnames, not string encodings
  5095 thereof.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5096 
  5097 * Generic Toplevel.add_hook interface allows to analyze the result of
  5098 transactions.  E.g. see src/Pure/ProofGeneral/proof_general_pgip.ML
  5099 for theorem dependency output of transactions resulting in a new
  5100 theory state.
  5101 
  5102 * ML antiquotations: block-structured compilation context indicated by
  5103 \<lbrace> ... \<rbrace>; additional antiquotation forms:
  5104 
  5105   @{binding name}                         - basic name binding
  5106   @{let ?pat = term}                      - term abbreviation (HO matching)
  5107   @{note name = fact}                     - fact abbreviation
  5108   @{thm fact}                             - singleton fact (with attributes)
  5109   @{thms fact}                            - general fact (with attributes)
  5110   @{lemma prop by method}                 - singleton goal
  5111   @{lemma prop by meth1 meth2}            - singleton goal
  5112   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by method}      - general goal
  5113   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by meth1 meth2} - general goal
  5114   @{lemma (open) ...}                     - open derivation
  5115 
  5116 
  5117 *** System ***
  5118 
  5119 * The Isabelle "emacs" tool provides a specific interface to invoke
  5120 Proof General / Emacs, with more explicit failure if that is not
  5121 installed (the old isabelle-interface script silently falls back on
  5122 isabelle-process).  The PROOFGENERAL_HOME setting determines the
  5123 installation location of the Proof General distribution.
  5124 
  5125 * Isabelle/lib/classes/Pure.jar provides basic support to integrate
  5126 the Isabelle process into a JVM/Scala application.  See
  5127 Isabelle/lib/jedit/plugin for a minimal example.  (The obsolete Java
  5128 process wrapper has been discontinued.)
  5129 
  5130 * Added homegrown Isabelle font with unicode layout, see lib/fonts.
  5131 
  5132 * Various status messages (with exact source position information) are
  5133 emitted, if proper markup print mode is enabled.  This allows
  5134 user-interface components to provide detailed feedback on internal
  5135 prover operations.
  5136 
  5137 
  5138 
  5139 New in Isabelle2008 (June 2008)
  5140 -------------------------------
  5141 
  5142 *** General ***
  5143 
  5144 * The Isabelle/Isar Reference Manual (isar-ref) has been reorganized
  5145 and updated, with formally checked references as hyperlinks.
  5146 
  5147 * Theory loader: use_thy (and similar operations) no longer set the
  5148 implicit ML context, which was occasionally hard to predict and in
  5149 conflict with concurrency.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML within Isar which
  5150 provides a proper context already.
  5151 
  5152 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  5153 file are no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, regular 'uses' and
  5154 'use' within a theory file will do the job.
  5155 
  5156 * Name space merge now observes canonical order, i.e. the second space
  5157 is inserted into the first one, while existing entries in the first
  5158 space take precedence.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, may try to
  5159 swap theory imports.
  5160 
  5161 * Syntax: symbol \<chi> is now considered a letter.  Potential
  5162 INCOMPATIBILITY in identifier syntax etc.
  5163 
  5164 * Outer syntax: string tokens no longer admit escaped white space,
  5165 which was an accidental (undocumented) feature.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5166 white space without escapes.
  5167 
  5168 * Outer syntax: string tokens may contain arbitrary character codes
  5169 specified via 3 decimal digits (as in SML).  E.g. "foo\095bar" for
  5170 "foo_bar".
  5171 
  5172 
  5173 *** Pure ***
  5174 
  5175 * Context-dependent token translations.  Default setup reverts locally
  5176 fixed variables, and adds hilite markup for undeclared frees.
  5177 
  5178 * Unused theorems can be found using the new command 'unused_thms'.
  5179 There are three ways of invoking it:
  5180 
  5181 (1) unused_thms
  5182      Only finds unused theorems in the current theory.
  5183 
  5184 (2) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n -
  5185      Finds unused theorems in the current theory and all of its ancestors,
  5186      excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of their ancestors.
  5187 
  5188 (3) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n - thy'_1 ... thy'_m
  5189      Finds unused theorems in the theories thy'_1 ... thy'_m and all of
  5190      their ancestors, excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of
  5191      their ancestors.
  5192 
  5193 In order to increase the readability of the list produced by
  5194 unused_thms, theorems that have been created by a particular instance
  5195 of a theory command such as 'inductive' or 'function' are considered
  5196 to belong to the same "group", meaning that if at least one theorem in
  5197 this group is used, the other theorems in the same group are no longer
  5198 reported as unused.  Moreover, if all theorems in the group are
  5199 unused, only one theorem in the group is displayed.
  5200 
  5201 Note that proof objects have to be switched on in order for
  5202 unused_thms to work properly (i.e. !proofs must be >= 1, which is
  5203 usually the case when using Proof General with the default settings).
  5204 
  5205 * Authentic naming of facts disallows ad-hoc overwriting of previous
  5206 theorems within the same name space.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to remove
  5207 duplicate fact bindings, or even accidental fact duplications.  Note
  5208 that tools may maintain dynamically scoped facts systematically, using
  5209 PureThy.add_thms_dynamic.
  5210 
  5211 * Command 'hide' now allows to hide from "fact" name space as well.
  5212 
  5213 * Eliminated destructive theorem database, simpset, claset, and
  5214 clasimpset.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, really need to observe linear
  5215 update of theories within ML code.
  5216 
  5217 * Eliminated theory ProtoPure and CPure, leaving just one Pure theory.
  5218 INCOMPATIBILITY, object-logics depending on former Pure require
  5219 additional setup PureThy.old_appl_syntax_setup; object-logics
  5220 depending on former CPure need to refer to Pure.
  5221 
  5222 * Commands 'use' and 'ML' are now purely functional, operating on
  5223 theory/local_theory.  Removed former 'ML_setup' (on theory), use 'ML'
  5224 instead.  Added 'ML_val' as mere diagnostic replacement for 'ML'.
  5225 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5226 
  5227 * Command 'setup': discontinued implicit version with ML reference.
  5228 
  5229 * Instantiation target allows for simultaneous specification of class
  5230 instance operations together with an instantiation proof.
  5231 Type-checking phase allows to refer to class operations uniformly.
  5232 See src/HOL/Complex/Complex.thy for an Isar example and
  5233 src/HOL/Library/Eval.thy for an ML example.
  5234 
  5235 * Indexing of literal facts: be more serious about including only
  5236 facts from the visible specification/proof context, but not the
  5237 background context (locale etc.).  Affects `prop` notation and method
  5238 "fact".  INCOMPATIBILITY: need to name facts explicitly in rare
  5239 situations.
  5240 
  5241 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": removed obsolete/undocumented
  5242 "(open)" option, which used to expose internal bound variables to the
  5243 proof text.
  5244 
  5245 * Isar statements: removed obsolete case "rule_context".
  5246 INCOMPATIBILITY, better use explicit fixes/assumes.
  5247 
  5248 * Locale proofs: default proof step now includes 'unfold_locales';
  5249 hence 'proof' without argument may be used to unfold locale
  5250 predicates.
  5251 
  5252 
  5253 *** Document preparation ***
  5254 
  5255 * Simplified pdfsetup.sty: color/hyperref is used unconditionally for
  5256 both pdf and dvi (hyperlinks usually work in xdvi as well); removed
  5257 obsolete thumbpdf setup (contemporary PDF viewers do this on the
  5258 spot); renamed link color from "darkblue" to "linkcolor" (default
  5259 value unchanged, can be redefined via \definecolor); no longer sets
  5260 "a4paper" option (unnecessary or even intrusive).
  5261 
  5262 * Antiquotation @{lemma A method} proves proposition A by the given
  5263 method (either a method name or a method name plus (optional) method
  5264 arguments in parentheses) and prints A just like @{prop A}.
  5265 
  5266 
  5267 *** HOL ***
  5268 
  5269 * New primrec package.  Specification syntax conforms in style to
  5270 definition/function/....  No separate induction rule is provided.  The
  5271 "primrec" command distinguishes old-style and new-style specifications
  5272 by syntax.  The former primrec package is now named OldPrimrecPackage.
  5273 When adjusting theories, beware: constants stemming from new-style
  5274 primrec specifications have authentic syntax.
  5275 
  5276 * Metis prover is now an order of magnitude faster, and also works
  5277 with multithreading.
  5278 
  5279 * Metis: the maximum number of clauses that can be produced from a
  5280 theorem is now given by the attribute max_clauses.  Theorems that
  5281 exceed this number are ignored, with a warning printed.
  5282 
  5283 * Sledgehammer no longer produces structured proofs by default. To
  5284 enable, declare [[sledgehammer_full = true]].  Attributes
  5285 reconstruction_modulus, reconstruction_sorts renamed
  5286 sledgehammer_modulus, sledgehammer_sorts.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5287 
  5288 * Method "induct_scheme" derives user-specified induction rules
  5289 from well-founded induction and completeness of patterns. This factors
  5290 out some operations that are done internally by the function package
  5291 and makes them available separately.  See
  5292 src/HOL/ex/Induction_Scheme.thy for examples.
  5293 
  5294 * More flexible generation of measure functions for termination
  5295 proofs: Measure functions can be declared by proving a rule of the
  5296 form "is_measure f" and giving it the [measure_function] attribute.
  5297 The "is_measure" predicate is logically meaningless (always true), and
  5298 just guides the heuristic.  To find suitable measure functions, the
  5299 termination prover sets up the goal "is_measure ?f" of the appropriate
  5300 type and generates all solutions by prolog-style backwards proof using
  5301 the declared rules.
  5302 
  5303 This setup also deals with rules like 
  5304 
  5305   "is_measure f ==> is_measure (list_size f)"
  5306 
  5307 which accommodates nested datatypes that recurse through lists.
  5308 Similar rules are predeclared for products and option types.
  5309 
  5310 * Turned the type of sets "'a set" into an abbreviation for "'a => bool"
  5311 
  5312   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  5313 
  5314   - Definitions of overloaded constants on sets have to be replaced by
  5315     definitions on => and bool.
  5316 
  5317   - Some definitions of overloaded operators on sets can now be proved
  5318     using the definitions of the operators on => and bool.  Therefore,
  5319     the following theorems have been renamed:
  5320 
  5321       subset_def   -> subset_eq
  5322       psubset_def  -> psubset_eq
  5323       set_diff_def -> set_diff_eq
  5324       Compl_def    -> Compl_eq
  5325       Sup_set_def  -> Sup_set_eq
  5326       Inf_set_def  -> Inf_set_eq
  5327       sup_set_def  -> sup_set_eq
  5328       inf_set_def  -> inf_set_eq
  5329 
  5330   - Due to the incompleteness of the HO unification algorithm, some
  5331     rules such as subst may require manual instantiation, if some of
  5332     the unknowns in the rule is a set.
  5333 
  5334   - Higher order unification and forward proofs:
  5335     The proof pattern
  5336 
  5337       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5338       then have "EX S. P S" ..
  5339 
  5340     no longer works (due to the incompleteness of the HO unification
  5341     algorithm) and must be replaced by the pattern
  5342 
  5343       have "EX S. P S"
  5344       proof
  5345         show "P S" <...>
  5346       qed
  5347 
  5348   - Calculational reasoning with subst (or similar rules):
  5349     The proof pattern
  5350 
  5351       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5352       also have "S = T" <...>
  5353       finally have "P T" .
  5354 
  5355     no longer works (for similar reasons as the previous example) and
  5356     must be replaced by something like
  5357 
  5358       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5359       moreover have "S = T" <...>
  5360       ultimately have "P T" by simp
  5361 
  5362   - Tactics or packages written in ML code:
  5363     Code performing pattern matching on types via
  5364 
  5365       Type ("set", [T]) => ...
  5366 
  5367     must be rewritten. Moreover, functions like strip_type or
  5368     binder_types no longer return the right value when applied to a
  5369     type of the form
  5370 
  5371       T1 => ... => Tn => U => bool
  5372 
  5373     rather than
  5374 
  5375       T1 => ... => Tn => U set
  5376 
  5377 * Merged theories Wellfounded_Recursion, Accessible_Part and
  5378 Wellfounded_Relations to theory Wellfounded.
  5379 
  5380 * Explicit class "eq" for executable equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5381 
  5382 * Class finite no longer treats UNIV as class parameter.  Use class
  5383 enum from theory Library/Enum instead to achieve a similar effect.
  5384 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5385 
  5386 * Theory List: rule list_induct2 now has explicitly named cases "Nil"
  5387 and "Cons".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5388 
  5389 * HOL (and FOL): renamed variables in rules imp_elim and swap.
  5390 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5391 
  5392 * Theory Product_Type: duplicated lemmas split_Pair_apply and
  5393 injective_fst_snd removed, use split_eta and prod_eqI instead.
  5394 Renamed upd_fst to apfst and upd_snd to apsnd.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5395 
  5396 * Theory Nat: removed redundant lemmas that merely duplicate lemmas of
  5397 the same name in theory Orderings:
  5398 
  5399   less_trans
  5400   less_linear
  5401   le_imp_less_or_eq
  5402   le_less_trans
  5403   less_le_trans
  5404   less_not_sym
  5405   less_asym
  5406 
  5407 Renamed less_imp_le to less_imp_le_nat, and less_irrefl to
  5408 less_irrefl_nat.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to more general types
  5409 and different variable names.
  5410 
  5411 * Library/Option_ord.thy: Canonical order on option type.
  5412 
  5413 * Library/RBT.thy: Red-black trees, an efficient implementation of
  5414 finite maps.
  5415 
  5416 * Library/Countable.thy: Type class for countable types.
  5417 
  5418 * Theory Int: The representation of numerals has changed.  The infix
  5419 operator BIT and the bit datatype with constructors B0 and B1 have
  5420 disappeared.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "Int.Bit0 x" and "Int.Bit1 y" in
  5421 place of "x BIT bit.B0" and "y BIT bit.B1", respectively.  Theorems
  5422 involving BIT, B0, or B1 have been renamed with "Bit0" or "Bit1"
  5423 accordingly.
  5424 
  5425 * Theory Nat: definition of <= and < on natural numbers no longer
  5426 depend on well-founded relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Definitions
  5427 le_def and less_def have disappeared.  Consider lemmas not_less
  5428 [symmetric, where ?'a = nat] and less_eq [symmetric] instead.
  5429 
  5430 * Theory Finite_Set: locales ACf, ACe, ACIf, ACIfSL and ACIfSLlin
  5431 (whose purpose mainly is for various fold_set functionals) have been
  5432 abandoned in favor of the existing algebraic classes
  5433 ab_semigroup_mult, comm_monoid_mult, ab_semigroup_idem_mult,
  5434 lower_semilattice (resp. upper_semilattice) and linorder.
  5435 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5436 
  5437 * Theory Transitive_Closure: induct and cases rules now declare proper
  5438 case_names ("base" and "step").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5439 
  5440 * Theorem Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct generalized to complete
  5441 lattices.  The form set-specific version is available as
  5442 Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct_set.
  5443 
  5444 * Renamed theorems "power.simps" to "power_int.simps".
  5445 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5446 
  5447 * Class semiring_div provides basic abstract properties of semirings
  5448 with division and modulo operations.  Subsumes former class dvd_mod.
  5449 
  5450 * Merged theories IntDef, Numeral and IntArith into unified theory
  5451 Int.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5452 
  5453 * Theory Library/Code_Index: type "index" now represents natural
  5454 numbers rather than integers.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5455 
  5456 * New class "uminus" with operation "uminus" (split of from class
  5457 "minus" which now only has operation "minus", binary).
  5458 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5459 
  5460 * Constants "card", "internal_split", "option_map" now with authentic
  5461 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5462 
  5463 * Definitions subset_def, psubset_def, set_diff_def, Compl_def,
  5464 le_bool_def, less_bool_def, le_fun_def, less_fun_def, inf_bool_def,
  5465 sup_bool_def, Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, inf_fun_def, sup_fun_def,
  5466 Inf_fun_def, Sup_fun_def, inf_set_def, sup_set_def, Inf_set_def,
  5467 Sup_set_def, le_def, less_def, option_map_def now with object
  5468 equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5469 
  5470 * Records. Removed K_record, and replaced it by pure lambda term
  5471 %x. c. The simplifier setup is now more robust against eta expansion.
  5472 INCOMPATIBILITY: in cases explicitly referring to K_record.
  5473 
  5474 * Library/Multiset: {#a, b, c#} abbreviates {#a#} + {#b#} + {#c#}.
  5475 
  5476 * Library/ListVector: new theory of arithmetic vector operations.
  5477 
  5478 * Library/Order_Relation: new theory of various orderings as sets of
  5479 pairs.  Defines preorders, partial orders, linear orders and
  5480 well-orders on sets and on types.
  5481 
  5482 
  5483 *** ZF ***
  5484 
  5485 * Renamed some theories to allow to loading both ZF and HOL in the
  5486 same session:
  5487 
  5488   Datatype  -> Datatype_ZF
  5489   Inductive -> Inductive_ZF
  5490   Int       -> Int_ZF
  5491   IntDiv    -> IntDiv_ZF
  5492   Nat       -> Nat_ZF
  5493   List      -> List_ZF
  5494   Main      -> Main_ZF
  5495 
  5496 INCOMPATIBILITY: ZF theories that import individual theories below
  5497 Main might need to be adapted.  Regular theory Main is still
  5498 available, as trivial extension of Main_ZF.
  5499 
  5500 
  5501 *** ML ***
  5502 
  5503 * ML within Isar: antiquotation @{const name} or @{const
  5504 name(typargs)} produces statically-checked Const term.
  5505 
  5506 * Functor NamedThmsFun: data is available to the user as dynamic fact
  5507 (of the same name).  Removed obsolete print command.
  5508 
  5509 * Removed obsolete "use_legacy_bindings" function.
  5510 
  5511 * The ``print mode'' is now a thread-local value derived from a global
  5512 template (the former print_mode reference), thus access becomes
  5513 non-critical.  The global print_mode reference is for session
  5514 management only; user-code should use print_mode_value,
  5515 print_mode_active, PrintMode.setmp etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5516 
  5517 * Functions system/system_out provide a robust way to invoke external
  5518 shell commands, with propagation of interrupts (requires Poly/ML
  5519 5.2.1).  Do not use OS.Process.system etc. from the basis library!
  5520 
  5521 
  5522 *** System ***
  5523 
  5524 * Default settings: PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS no longer impose xemacs ---
  5525 in accordance with Proof General 3.7, which prefers GNU emacs.
  5526 
  5527 * isatool tty runs Isabelle process with plain tty interaction;
  5528 optional line editor may be specified via ISABELLE_LINE_EDITOR
  5529 setting, the default settings attempt to locate "ledit" and "rlwrap".
  5530 
  5531 * isatool browser now works with Cygwin as well, using general
  5532 "javapath" function defined in Isabelle process environment.
  5533 
  5534 * YXML notation provides a simple and efficient alternative to
  5535 standard XML transfer syntax.  See src/Pure/General/yxml.ML and
  5536 isatool yxml as described in the Isabelle system manual.
  5537 
  5538 * JVM class isabelle.IsabelleProcess (located in Isabelle/lib/classes)
  5539 provides general wrapper for managing an Isabelle process in a robust
  5540 fashion, with ``cooked'' output from stdin/stderr.
  5541 
  5542 * Rudimentary Isabelle plugin for jEdit (see Isabelle/lib/jedit),
  5543 based on Isabelle/JVM process wrapper (see Isabelle/lib/classes).
  5544 
  5545 * Removed obsolete THIS_IS_ISABELLE_BUILD feature.  NB: the documented
  5546 way of changing the user's settings is via
  5547 ISABELLE_HOME_USER/etc/settings, which is a fully featured bash
  5548 script.
  5549 
  5550 * Multithreading.max_threads := 0 refers to the number of actual CPU
  5551 cores of the underlying machine, which is a good starting point for
  5552 optimal performance tuning.  The corresponding usedir option -M allows
  5553 "max" as an alias for "0".  WARNING: does not work on certain versions
  5554 of Mac OS (with Poly/ML 5.1).
  5555 
  5556 * isabelle-process: non-ML sessions are run with "nice", to reduce the
  5557 adverse effect of Isabelle flooding interactive front-ends (notably
  5558 ProofGeneral / XEmacs).
  5559 
  5560 
  5561 
  5562 New in Isabelle2007 (November 2007)
  5563 -----------------------------------
  5564 
  5565 *** General ***
  5566 
  5567 * More uniform information about legacy features, notably a
  5568 warning/error of "Legacy feature: ...", depending on the state of the
  5569 tolerate_legacy_features flag (default true). FUTURE INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5570 legacy features will disappear eventually.
  5571 
  5572 * Theory syntax: the header format ``theory A = B + C:'' has been
  5573 discontinued in favour of ``theory A imports B C begin''.  Use isatool
  5574 fixheaders to convert existing theory files.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5575 
  5576 * Theory syntax: the old non-Isar theory file format has been
  5577 discontinued altogether.  Note that ML proof scripts may still be used
  5578 with Isar theories; migration is usually quite simple with the ML
  5579 function use_legacy_bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5580 
  5581 * Theory syntax: some popular names (e.g. 'class', 'declaration',
  5582 'fun', 'help', 'if') are now keywords.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use double
  5583 quotes.
  5584 
  5585 * Theory loader: be more serious about observing the static theory
  5586 header specifications (including optional directories), but not the
  5587 accidental file locations of previously successful loads.  The strict
  5588 update policy of former update_thy is now already performed by
  5589 use_thy, so the former has been removed; use_thys updates several
  5590 theories simultaneously, just as 'imports' within a theory header
  5591 specification, but without merging the results.  Potential
  5592 INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to refine theory headers and commands
  5593 ROOT.ML which depend on load order.
  5594 
  5595 * Theory loader: optional support for content-based file
  5596 identification, instead of the traditional scheme of full physical
  5597 path plus date stamp; configured by the ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT setting
  5598 (cf. the system manual).  The new scheme allows to work with
  5599 non-finished theories in persistent session images, such that source
  5600 files may be moved later on without requiring reloads.
  5601 
  5602 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  5603 file (with the same base name as the theory) are considered a legacy
  5604 feature, which will disappear eventually. Even now, the theory loader
  5605 no longer maintains dependencies on such files.
  5606 
  5607 * Syntax: the scope for resolving ambiguities via type-inference is
  5608 now limited to individual terms, instead of whole simultaneous
  5609 specifications as before. This greatly reduces the complexity of the
  5610 syntax module and improves flexibility by separating parsing and
  5611 type-checking. INCOMPATIBILITY: additional type-constraints (explicit
  5612 'fixes' etc.) are required in rare situations.
  5613 
  5614 * Syntax: constants introduced by new-style packages ('definition',
  5615 'abbreviation' etc.) are passed through the syntax module in
  5616 ``authentic mode''. This means that associated mixfix annotations
  5617 really stick to such constants, independently of potential name space
  5618 ambiguities introduced later on. INCOMPATIBILITY: constants in parse
  5619 trees are represented slightly differently, may need to adapt syntax
  5620 translations accordingly. Use CONST marker in 'translations' and
  5621 @{const_syntax} antiquotation in 'parse_translation' etc.
  5622 
  5623 * Legacy goal package: reduced interface to the bare minimum required
  5624 to keep existing proof scripts running.  Most other user-level
  5625 functions are now part of the OldGoals structure, which is *not* open
  5626 by default (consider isatool expandshort before open OldGoals).
  5627 Removed top_sg, prin, printyp, pprint_term/typ altogether, because
  5628 these tend to cause confusion about the actual goal (!) context being
  5629 used here, which is not necessarily the same as the_context().
  5630 
  5631 * Command 'find_theorems': supports "*" wild-card in "name:"
  5632 criterion; "with_dups" option.  Certain ProofGeneral versions might
  5633 support a specific search form (see ProofGeneral/CHANGES).
  5634 
  5635 * The ``prems limit'' option (cf. ProofContext.prems_limit) is now -1
  5636 by default, which means that "prems" (and also "fixed variables") are
  5637 suppressed from proof state output.  Note that the ProofGeneral
  5638 settings mechanism allows to change and save options persistently, but
  5639 older versions of Isabelle will fail to start up if a negative prems
  5640 limit is imposed.
  5641 
  5642 * Local theory targets may be specified by non-nested blocks of
  5643 ``context/locale/class ... begin'' followed by ``end''.  The body may
  5644 contain definitions, theorems etc., including any derived mechanism
  5645 that has been implemented on top of these primitives.  This concept
  5646 generalizes the existing ``theorem (in ...)'' towards more versatility
  5647 and scalability.
  5648 
  5649 * Proof General interface: proper undo of final 'end' command;
  5650 discontinued Isabelle/classic mode (ML proof scripts).
  5651 
  5652 
  5653 *** Document preparation ***
  5654 
  5655 * Added antiquotation @{theory name} which prints the given name,
  5656 after checking that it refers to a valid ancestor theory in the
  5657 current context.
  5658 
  5659 * Added antiquotations @{ML_type text} and @{ML_struct text} which
  5660 check the given source text as ML type/structure, printing verbatim.
  5661 
  5662 * Added antiquotation @{abbrev "c args"} which prints the abbreviation
  5663 "c args == rhs" given in the current context.  (Any number of
  5664 arguments may be given on the LHS.)
  5665 
  5666 
  5667 *** Pure ***
  5668 
  5669 * The 'class' package offers a combination of axclass and locale to
  5670 achieve Haskell-like type classes in Isabelle.  Definitions and
  5671 theorems within a class context produce both relative results (with
  5672 implicit parameters according to the locale context), and polymorphic
  5673 constants with qualified polymorphism (according to the class
  5674 context).  Within the body context of a 'class' target, a separate
  5675 syntax layer ("user space type system") takes care of converting
  5676 between global polymorphic consts and internal locale representation.
  5677 See src/HOL/ex/Classpackage.thy for examples (as well as main HOL).
  5678 "isatool doc classes" provides a tutorial.
  5679 
  5680 * Generic code generator framework allows to generate executable
  5681 code for ML and Haskell (including Isabelle classes).  A short usage
  5682 sketch:
  5683 
  5684     internal compilation:
  5685         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML
  5686     writing SML code to a file:
  5687         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML <filename>
  5688     writing OCaml code to a file:
  5689         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in OCaml <filename>
  5690     writing Haskell code to a bunch of files:
  5691         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in Haskell <filename>
  5692 
  5693     evaluating closed propositions to True/False using code generation:
  5694         method ``eval''
  5695 
  5696 Reasonable default setup of framework in HOL.
  5697 
  5698 Theorem attributs for selecting and transforming function equations theorems:
  5699 
  5700     [code fun]:        select a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  5701     [code fun del]:    deselect a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  5702     [code inline]:     select an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  5703     [code inline del]: deselect an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  5704 
  5705 User-defined serializations (target in {SML, OCaml, Haskell}):
  5706 
  5707     code_const <and-list of constants (term syntax)>
  5708       {(target) <and-list of const target syntax>}+
  5709 
  5710     code_type <and-list of type constructors>
  5711       {(target) <and-list of type target syntax>}+
  5712 
  5713     code_instance <and-list of instances>
  5714       {(target)}+
  5715         where instance ::= <type constructor> :: <class>
  5716 
  5717     code_class <and_list of classes>
  5718       {(target) <and-list of class target syntax>}+
  5719         where class target syntax ::= <class name> {where {<classop> == <target syntax>}+}?
  5720 
  5721 code_instance and code_class only are effective to target Haskell.
  5722 
  5723 For example usage see src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator.thy and
  5724 src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator_Pretty.thy.  A separate tutorial on code
  5725 generation from Isabelle/HOL theories is available via "isatool doc
  5726 codegen".
  5727 
  5728 * Code generator: consts in 'consts_code' Isar commands are now
  5729 referred to by usual term syntax (including optional type
  5730 annotations).
  5731 
  5732 * Command 'no_translations' removes translation rules from theory
  5733 syntax.
  5734 
  5735 * Overloaded definitions are now actually checked for acyclic
  5736 dependencies.  The overloading scheme is slightly more general than
  5737 that of Haskell98, although Isabelle does not demand an exact
  5738 correspondence to type class and instance declarations.
  5739 INCOMPATIBILITY, use ``defs (unchecked overloaded)'' to admit more
  5740 exotic versions of overloading -- at the discretion of the user!
  5741 
  5742 Polymorphic constants are represented via type arguments, i.e. the
  5743 instantiation that matches an instance against the most general
  5744 declaration given in the signature.  For example, with the declaration
  5745 c :: 'a => 'a => 'a, an instance c :: nat => nat => nat is represented
  5746 as c(nat).  Overloading is essentially simultaneous structural
  5747 recursion over such type arguments.  Incomplete specification patterns
  5748 impose global constraints on all occurrences, e.g. c('a * 'a) on the
  5749 LHS means that more general c('a * 'b) will be disallowed on any RHS.
  5750 Command 'print_theory' outputs the normalized system of recursive
  5751 equations, see section "definitions".
  5752 
  5753 * Configuration options are maintained within the theory or proof
  5754 context (with name and type bool/int/string), providing a very simple
  5755 interface to a poor-man's version of general context data.  Tools may
  5756 declare options in ML (e.g. using Attrib.config_int) and then refer to
  5757 these values using Config.get etc.  Users may change options via an
  5758 associated attribute of the same name.  This form of context
  5759 declaration works particularly well with commands 'declare' or
  5760 'using', for example ``declare [[foo = 42]]''.  Thus it has become
  5761 very easy to avoid global references, which would not observe Isar
  5762 toplevel undo/redo and fail to work with multithreading.
  5763 
  5764 Various global ML references of Pure and HOL have been turned into
  5765 configuration options:
  5766 
  5767   Unify.search_bound		unify_search_bound
  5768   Unify.trace_bound		unify_trace_bound
  5769   Unify.trace_simp		unify_trace_simp
  5770   Unify.trace_types		unify_trace_types
  5771   Simplifier.simp_depth_limit	simp_depth_limit
  5772   Blast.depth_limit		blast_depth_limit
  5773   DatatypeProp.dtK		datatype_distinctness_limit
  5774   fast_arith_neq_limit  	fast_arith_neq_limit
  5775   fast_arith_split_limit	fast_arith_split_limit
  5776 
  5777 * Named collections of theorems may be easily installed as context
  5778 data using the functor NamedThmsFun (see also
  5779 src/Pure/Tools/named_thms.ML).  The user may add or delete facts via
  5780 attributes; there is also a toplevel print command.  This facility is
  5781 just a common case of general context data, which is the preferred way
  5782 for anything more complex than just a list of facts in canonical
  5783 order.
  5784 
  5785 * Isar: command 'declaration' augments a local theory by generic
  5786 declaration functions written in ML.  This enables arbitrary content
  5787 being added to the context, depending on a morphism that tells the
  5788 difference of the original declaration context wrt. the application
  5789 context encountered later on.
  5790 
  5791 * Isar: proper interfaces for simplification procedures.  Command
  5792 'simproc_setup' declares named simprocs (with match patterns, and body
  5793 text in ML).  Attribute "simproc" adds/deletes simprocs in the current
  5794 context.  ML antiquotation @{simproc name} retrieves named simprocs.
  5795 
  5796 * Isar: an extra pair of brackets around attribute declarations
  5797 abbreviates a theorem reference involving an internal dummy fact,
  5798 which will be ignored later --- only the effect of the attribute on
  5799 the background context will persist.  This form of in-place
  5800 declarations is particularly useful with commands like 'declare' and
  5801 'using', for example ``have A using [[simproc a]] by simp''.
  5802 
  5803 * Isar: method "assumption" (and implicit closing of subproofs) now
  5804 takes simple non-atomic goal assumptions into account: after applying
  5805 an assumption as a rule the resulting subgoals are solved by atomic
  5806 assumption steps.  This is particularly useful to finish 'obtain'
  5807 goals, such as "!!x. (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> P x ==> thesis",
  5808 without referring to the original premise "!!x. P x ==> thesis" in the
  5809 Isar proof context.  POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY: method "assumption" is
  5810 more permissive.
  5811 
  5812 * Isar: implicit use of prems from the Isar proof context is
  5813 considered a legacy feature.  Common applications like ``have A .''
  5814 may be replaced by ``have A by fact'' or ``note `A`''.  In general,
  5815 referencing facts explicitly here improves readability and
  5816 maintainability of proof texts.
  5817 
  5818 * Isar: improper proof element 'guess' is like 'obtain', but derives
  5819 the obtained context from the course of reasoning!  For example:
  5820 
  5821   assume "EX x y. A x & B y"   -- "any previous fact"
  5822   then guess x and y by clarify
  5823 
  5824 This technique is potentially adventurous, depending on the facts and
  5825 proof tools being involved here.
  5826 
  5827 * Isar: known facts from the proof context may be specified as literal
  5828 propositions, using ASCII back-quote syntax.  This works wherever
  5829 named facts used to be allowed so far, in proof commands, proof
  5830 methods, attributes etc.  Literal facts are retrieved from the context
  5831 according to unification of type and term parameters.  For example,
  5832 provided that "A" and "A ==> B" and "!!x. P x ==> Q x" are known
  5833 theorems in the current context, then these are valid literal facts:
  5834 `A` and `A ==> B` and `!!x. P x ==> Q x" as well as `P a ==> Q a` etc.
  5835 
  5836 There is also a proof method "fact" which does the same composition
  5837 for explicit goal states, e.g. the following proof texts coincide with
  5838 certain special cases of literal facts:
  5839 
  5840   have "A" by fact                 ==  note `A`
  5841   have "A ==> B" by fact           ==  note `A ==> B`
  5842   have "!!x. P x ==> Q x" by fact  ==  note `!!x. P x ==> Q x`
  5843   have "P a ==> Q a" by fact       ==  note `P a ==> Q a`
  5844 
  5845 * Isar: ":" (colon) is no longer a symbolic identifier character in
  5846 outer syntax.  Thus symbolic identifiers may be used without
  5847 additional white space in declarations like this: ``assume *: A''.
  5848 
  5849 * Isar: 'print_facts' prints all local facts of the current context,
  5850 both named and unnamed ones.
  5851 
  5852 * Isar: 'def' now admits simultaneous definitions, e.g.:
  5853 
  5854   def x == "t" and y == "u"
  5855 
  5856 * Isar: added command 'unfolding', which is structurally similar to
  5857 'using', but affects both the goal state and facts by unfolding given
  5858 rewrite rules.  Thus many occurrences of the 'unfold' method or
  5859 'unfolded' attribute may be replaced by first-class proof text.
  5860 
  5861 * Isar: methods 'unfold' / 'fold', attributes 'unfolded' / 'folded',
  5862 and command 'unfolding' now all support object-level equalities
  5863 (potentially conditional).  The underlying notion of rewrite rule is
  5864 analogous to the 'rule_format' attribute, but *not* that of the
  5865 Simplifier (which is usually more generous).
  5866 
  5867 * Isar: the new attribute [rotated n] (default n = 1) rotates the
  5868 premises of a theorem by n. Useful in conjunction with drule.
  5869 
  5870 * Isar: the goal restriction operator [N] (default N = 1) evaluates a
  5871 method expression within a sandbox consisting of the first N
  5872 sub-goals, which need to exist.  For example, ``simp_all [3]''
  5873 simplifies the first three sub-goals, while (rule foo, simp_all)[]
  5874 simplifies all new goals that emerge from applying rule foo to the
  5875 originally first one.
  5876 
  5877 * Isar: schematic goals are no longer restricted to higher-order
  5878 patterns; e.g. ``lemma "?P(?x)" by (rule TrueI)'' now works as
  5879 expected.
  5880 
  5881 * Isar: the conclusion of a long theorem statement is now either
  5882 'shows' (a simultaneous conjunction, as before), or 'obtains'
  5883 (essentially a disjunction of cases with local parameters and
  5884 assumptions).  The latter allows to express general elimination rules
  5885 adequately; in this notation common elimination rules look like this:
  5886 
  5887   lemma exE:    -- "EX x. P x ==> (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5888     assumes "EX x. P x"
  5889     obtains x where "P x"
  5890 
  5891   lemma conjE:  -- "A & B ==> (A ==> B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5892     assumes "A & B"
  5893     obtains A and B
  5894 
  5895   lemma disjE:  -- "A | B ==> (A ==> thesis) ==> (B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5896     assumes "A | B"
  5897     obtains
  5898       A
  5899     | B
  5900 
  5901 The subsequent classical rules even refer to the formal "thesis"
  5902 explicitly:
  5903 
  5904   lemma classical:     -- "(~ thesis ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5905     obtains "~ thesis"
  5906 
  5907   lemma Peirce's_Law:  -- "((thesis ==> something) ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5908     obtains "thesis ==> something"
  5909 
  5910 The actual proof of an 'obtains' statement is analogous to that of the
  5911 Isar proof element 'obtain', only that there may be several cases.
  5912 Optional case names may be specified in parentheses; these will be
  5913 available both in the present proof and as annotations in the
  5914 resulting rule, for later use with the 'cases' method (cf. attribute
  5915 case_names).
  5916 
  5917 * Isar: the assumptions of a long theorem statement are available as
  5918 "assms" fact in the proof context.  This is more appropriate than the
  5919 (historical) "prems", which refers to all assumptions of the current
  5920 context, including those from the target locale, proof body etc.
  5921 
  5922 * Isar: 'print_statement' prints theorems from the current theory or
  5923 proof context in long statement form, according to the syntax of a
  5924 top-level lemma.
  5925 
  5926 * Isar: 'obtain' takes an optional case name for the local context
  5927 introduction rule (default "that").
  5928 
  5929 * Isar: removed obsolete 'concl is' patterns.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5930 explicit (is "_ ==> ?foo") in the rare cases where this still happens
  5931 to occur.
  5932 
  5933 * Pure: syntax "CONST name" produces a fully internalized constant
  5934 according to the current context.  This is particularly useful for
  5935 syntax translations that should refer to internal constant
  5936 representations independently of name spaces.
  5937 
  5938 * Pure: syntax constant for foo (binder "FOO ") is called "foo_binder"
  5939 instead of "FOO ". This allows multiple binder declarations to coexist
  5940 in the same context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5941 
  5942 * Isar/locales: 'notation' provides a robust interface to the 'syntax'
  5943 primitive that also works in a locale context (both for constants and
  5944 fixed variables). Type declaration and internal syntactic representation
  5945 of given constants retrieved from the context. Likewise, the
  5946 'no_notation' command allows to remove given syntax annotations from the
  5947 current context.
  5948 
  5949 * Isar/locales: new derived specification elements 'axiomatization',
  5950 'definition', 'abbreviation', which support type-inference, admit
  5951 object-level specifications (equality, equivalence).  See also the
  5952 isar-ref manual.  Examples:
  5953 
  5954   axiomatization
  5955     eq  (infix "===" 50) where
  5956     eq_refl: "x === x" and eq_subst: "x === y ==> P x ==> P y"
  5957 
  5958   definition "f x y = x + y + 1"
  5959   definition g where "g x = f x x"
  5960 
  5961   abbreviation
  5962     neq  (infix "=!=" 50) where
  5963     "x =!= y == ~ (x === y)"
  5964 
  5965 These specifications may be also used in a locale context.  Then the
  5966 constants being introduced depend on certain fixed parameters, and the
  5967 constant name is qualified by the locale base name.  An internal
  5968 abbreviation takes care for convenient input and output, making the
  5969 parameters implicit and using the original short name.  See also
  5970 src/HOL/ex/Abstract_NAT.thy for an example of deriving polymorphic
  5971 entities from a monomorphic theory.
  5972 
  5973 Presently, abbreviations are only available 'in' a target locale, but
  5974 not inherited by general import expressions.  Also note that
  5975 'abbreviation' may be used as a type-safe replacement for 'syntax' +
  5976 'translations' in common applications.  The "no_abbrevs" print mode
  5977 prevents folding of abbreviations in term output.
  5978 
  5979 Concrete syntax is attached to specified constants in internal form,
  5980 independently of name spaces.  The parse tree representation is
  5981 slightly different -- use 'notation' instead of raw 'syntax', and
  5982 'translations' with explicit "CONST" markup to accommodate this.
  5983 
  5984 * Pure/Isar: unified syntax for new-style specification mechanisms
  5985 (e.g.  'definition', 'abbreviation', or 'inductive' in HOL) admits
  5986 full type inference and dummy patterns ("_").  For example:
  5987 
  5988   definition "K x _ = x"
  5989 
  5990   inductive conj for A B
  5991   where "A ==> B ==> conj A B"
  5992 
  5993 * Pure: command 'print_abbrevs' prints all constant abbreviations of
  5994 the current context.  Print mode "no_abbrevs" prevents inversion of
  5995 abbreviations on output.
  5996 
  5997 * Isar/locales: improved parameter handling: use of locales "var" and
  5998 "struct" no longer necessary; - parameter renamings are no longer
  5999 required to be injective.  For example, this allows to define
  6000 endomorphisms as locale endom = homom mult mult h.
  6001 
  6002 * Isar/locales: changed the way locales with predicates are defined.
  6003 Instead of accumulating the specification, the imported expression is
  6004 now an interpretation.  INCOMPATIBILITY: different normal form of
  6005 locale expressions.  In particular, in interpretations of locales with
  6006 predicates, goals repesenting already interpreted fragments are not
  6007 removed automatically.  Use methods `intro_locales' and
  6008 `unfold_locales'; see below.
  6009 
  6010 * Isar/locales: new methods `intro_locales' and `unfold_locales'
  6011 provide backward reasoning on locales predicates.  The methods are
  6012 aware of interpretations and discharge corresponding goals.
  6013 `intro_locales' is less aggressive then `unfold_locales' and does not
  6014 unfold predicates to assumptions.
  6015 
  6016 * Isar/locales: the order in which locale fragments are accumulated
  6017 has changed.  This enables to override declarations from fragments due
  6018 to interpretations -- for example, unwanted simp rules.
  6019 
  6020 * Isar/locales: interpretation in theories and proof contexts has been
  6021 extended.  One may now specify (and prove) equations, which are
  6022 unfolded in interpreted theorems.  This is useful for replacing
  6023 defined concepts (constants depending on locale parameters) by
  6024 concepts already existing in the target context.  Example:
  6025 
  6026   interpretation partial_order ["op <= :: [int, int] => bool"]
  6027     where "partial_order.less (op <=) (x::int) y = (x < y)"
  6028 
  6029 Typically, the constant `partial_order.less' is created by a
  6030 definition specification element in the context of locale
  6031 partial_order.
  6032 
  6033 * Method "induct": improved internal context management to support
  6034 local fixes and defines on-the-fly. Thus explicit meta-level
  6035 connectives !!  and ==> are rarely required anymore in inductive goals
  6036 (using object-logic connectives for this purpose has been long
  6037 obsolete anyway). Common proof patterns are explained in
  6038 src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, see also
  6039 src/HOL/Isar_examples/Puzzle.thy and src/HOL/Lambda for realistic
  6040 examples.
  6041 
  6042 * Method "induct": improved handling of simultaneous goals. Instead of
  6043 introducing object-level conjunction, the statement is now split into
  6044 several conclusions, while the corresponding symbolic cases are nested
  6045 accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY, proofs need to be structured explicitly,
  6046 see src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, for example.
  6047 
  6048 * Method "induct": mutual induction rules are now specified as a list
  6049 of rule sharing the same induction cases. HOL packages usually provide
  6050 foo_bar.inducts for mutually defined items foo and bar (e.g. inductive
  6051 predicates/sets or datatypes). INCOMPATIBILITY, users need to specify
  6052 mutual induction rules differently, i.e. like this:
  6053 
  6054   (induct rule: foo_bar.inducts)
  6055   (induct set: foo bar)
  6056   (induct pred: foo bar)
  6057   (induct type: foo bar)
  6058 
  6059 The ML function ProjectRule.projections turns old-style rules into the
  6060 new format.
  6061 
  6062 * Method "coinduct": dual of induction, see
  6063 src/HOL/Library/Coinductive_List.thy for various examples.
  6064 
  6065 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": the ``(open)'' option is
  6066 considered a legacy feature.
  6067 
  6068 * Attribute "symmetric" produces result with standardized schematic
  6069 variables (index 0).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6070 
  6071 * Simplifier: by default the simplifier trace only shows top level
  6072 rewrites now. That is, trace_simp_depth_limit is set to 1 by
  6073 default. Thus there is less danger of being flooded by the trace. The
  6074 trace indicates where parts have been suppressed.
  6075   
  6076 * Provers/classical: removed obsolete classical version of elim_format
  6077 attribute; classical elim/dest rules are now treated uniformly when
  6078 manipulating the claset.
  6079 
  6080 * Provers/classical: stricter checks to ensure that supplied intro,
  6081 dest and elim rules are well-formed; dest and elim rules must have at
  6082 least one premise.
  6083 
  6084 * Provers/classical: attributes dest/elim/intro take an optional
  6085 weight argument for the rule (just as the Pure versions).  Weights are
  6086 ignored by automated tools, but determine the search order of single
  6087 rule steps.
  6088 
  6089 * Syntax: input syntax now supports dummy variable binding "%_. b",
  6090 where the body does not mention the bound variable.  Note that dummy
  6091 patterns implicitly depend on their context of bounds, which makes
  6092 "{_. _}" match any set comprehension as expected.  Potential
  6093 INCOMPATIBILITY -- parse translations need to cope with syntactic
  6094 constant "_idtdummy" in the binding position.
  6095 
  6096 * Syntax: removed obsolete syntactic constant "_K" and its associated
  6097 parse translation.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- use dummy abstraction instead,
  6098 for example "A -> B" => "Pi A (%_. B)".
  6099 
  6100 * Pure: 'class_deps' command visualizes the subclass relation, using
  6101 the graph browser tool.
  6102 
  6103 * Pure: 'print_theory' now suppresses certain internal declarations by
  6104 default; use '!' option for full details.
  6105 
  6106 
  6107 *** HOL ***
  6108 
  6109 * Method "metis" proves goals by applying the Metis general-purpose
  6110 resolution prover (see also http://gilith.com/software/metis/).
  6111 Examples are in the directory MetisExamples.  WARNING: the
  6112 Isabelle/HOL-Metis integration does not yet work properly with
  6113 multi-threading.
  6114   
  6115 * Command 'sledgehammer' invokes external automatic theorem provers as
  6116 background processes.  It generates calls to the "metis" method if
  6117 successful. These can be pasted into the proof.  Users do not have to
  6118 wait for the automatic provers to return.  WARNING: does not really
  6119 work with multi-threading.
  6120 
  6121 * New "auto_quickcheck" feature tests outermost goal statements for
  6122 potential counter-examples.  Controlled by ML references
  6123 auto_quickcheck (default true) and auto_quickcheck_time_limit (default
  6124 5000 milliseconds).  Fails silently if statements is outside of
  6125 executable fragment, or any other codgenerator problem occurs.
  6126 
  6127 * New constant "undefined" with axiom "undefined x = undefined".
  6128 
  6129 * Added class "HOL.eq", allowing for code generation with polymorphic
  6130 equality.
  6131 
  6132 * Some renaming of class constants due to canonical name prefixing in
  6133 the new 'class' package:
  6134 
  6135     HOL.abs ~> HOL.abs_class.abs
  6136     HOL.divide ~> HOL.divide_class.divide
  6137     0 ~> HOL.zero_class.zero
  6138     1 ~> HOL.one_class.one
  6139     op + ~> HOL.plus_class.plus
  6140     op - ~> HOL.minus_class.minus
  6141     uminus ~> HOL.minus_class.uminus
  6142     op * ~> HOL.times_class.times
  6143     op < ~> HOL.ord_class.less
  6144     op <= > HOL.ord_class.less_eq
  6145     Nat.power ~> Power.power_class.power
  6146     Nat.size ~> Nat.size_class.size
  6147     Numeral.number_of ~> Numeral.number_class.number_of
  6148     FixedPoint.Inf ~> Lattices.complete_lattice_class.Inf
  6149     FixedPoint.Sup ~> Lattices.complete_lattice_class.Sup
  6150     Orderings.min ~> Orderings.ord_class.min
  6151     Orderings.max ~> Orderings.ord_class.max
  6152     Divides.op div ~> Divides.div_class.div
  6153     Divides.op mod ~> Divides.div_class.mod
  6154     Divides.op dvd ~> Divides.div_class.dvd
  6155 
  6156 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Adaptions may be required in the following cases:
  6157 
  6158 a) User-defined constants using any of the names "plus", "minus",
  6159 "times", "less" or "less_eq". The standard syntax translations for
  6160 "+", "-" and "*" may go wrong.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific
  6161 names.
  6162 
  6163 b) Variables named "plus", "minus", "times", "less", "less_eq"
  6164 INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific names.
  6165 
  6166 c) Permutative equations (e.g. "a + b = b + a")
  6167 Since the change of names also changes the order of terms, permutative
  6168 rewrite rules may get applied in a different order. Experience shows
  6169 that this is rarely the case (only two adaptions in the whole Isabelle
  6170 distribution).  INCOMPATIBILITY: rewrite proofs
  6171 
  6172 d) ML code directly refering to constant names
  6173 This in general only affects hand-written proof tactics, simprocs and
  6174 so on.  INCOMPATIBILITY: grep your sourcecode and replace names.
  6175 Consider using @{const_name} antiquotation.
  6176 
  6177 * New class "default" with associated constant "default".
  6178 
  6179 * Function "sgn" is now overloaded and available on int, real, complex
  6180 (and other numeric types), using class "sgn".  Two possible defs of
  6181 sgn are given as equational assumptions in the classes sgn_if and
  6182 sgn_div_norm; ordered_idom now also inherits from sgn_if.
  6183 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6184 
  6185 * Locale "partial_order" now unified with class "order" (cf. theory
  6186 Orderings), added parameter "less".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6187 
  6188 * Renamings in classes "order" and "linorder": facts "refl", "trans" and
  6189 "cases" to "order_refl", "order_trans" and "linorder_cases", to avoid
  6190 clashes with HOL "refl" and "trans".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6191 
  6192 * Classes "order" and "linorder": potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to
  6193 changed order of proof goals in instance proofs.
  6194 
  6195 * The transitivity reasoner for partial and linear orders is set up
  6196 for classes "order" and "linorder".  Instances of the reasoner are available
  6197 in all contexts importing or interpreting the corresponding locales.
  6198 Method "order" invokes the reasoner separately; the reasoner
  6199 is also integrated with the Simplifier as a solver.  Diagnostic
  6200 command 'print_orders' shows the available instances of the reasoner
  6201 in the current context.
  6202 
  6203 * Localized monotonicity predicate in theory "Orderings"; integrated
  6204 lemmas max_of_mono and min_of_mono with this predicate.
  6205 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6206 
  6207 * Formulation of theorem "dense" changed slightly due to integration
  6208 with new class dense_linear_order.
  6209 
  6210 * Uniform lattice theory development in HOL.
  6211 
  6212     constants "meet" and "join" now named "inf" and "sup"
  6213     constant "Meet" now named "Inf"
  6214 
  6215     classes "meet_semilorder" and "join_semilorder" now named
  6216       "lower_semilattice" and "upper_semilattice"
  6217     class "lorder" now named "lattice"
  6218     class "comp_lat" now named "complete_lattice"
  6219 
  6220     Instantiation of lattice classes allows explicit definitions
  6221     for "inf" and "sup" operations (or "Inf" and "Sup" for complete lattices).
  6222 
  6223   INCOMPATIBILITY.  Theorem renames:

  6325 
  6326 * Added syntactic class "size"; overloaded constant "size" now has
  6327 type "'a::size ==> bool"
  6328 
  6329 * Internal reorganisation of `size' of datatypes: size theorems
  6330 "foo.size" are no longer subsumed by "foo.simps" (but are still
  6331 simplification rules by default!); theorems "prod.size" now named
  6332 "*.size".
  6333 
  6334 * Class "div" now inherits from class "times" rather than "type".
  6335 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6336 
  6337 * HOL/Finite_Set: "name-space" locales Lattice, Distrib_lattice,
  6338 Linorder etc.  have disappeared; operations defined in terms of
  6339 fold_set now are named Inf_fin, Sup_fin.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6340 
  6341 * HOL/Nat: neq0_conv no longer declared as iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6342 
  6343 * HOL-Word: New extensive library and type for generic, fixed size
  6344 machine words, with arithmetic, bit-wise, shifting and rotating
  6345 operations, reflection into int, nat, and bool lists, automation for
  6346 linear arithmetic (by automatic reflection into nat or int), including
  6347 lemmas on overflow and monotonicity.  Instantiated to all appropriate
  6348 arithmetic type classes, supporting automatic simplification of
  6349 numerals on all operations.
  6350 
  6351 * Library/Boolean_Algebra: locales for abstract boolean algebras.
  6352 
  6353 * Library/Numeral_Type: numbers as types, e.g. TYPE(32).
  6354 
  6355 * Code generator library theories:
  6356   - Code_Integer represents HOL integers by big integer literals in target
  6357     languages.
  6358   - Code_Char represents HOL characters by character literals in target
  6359     languages.
  6360   - Code_Char_chr like Code_Char, but also offers treatment of character
  6361     codes; includes Code_Integer.
  6362   - Executable_Set allows to generate code for finite sets using lists.
  6363   - Executable_Rat implements rational numbers as triples (sign, enumerator,
  6364     denominator).
  6365   - Executable_Real implements a subset of real numbers, namly those
  6366     representable by rational numbers.
  6367   - Efficient_Nat implements natural numbers by integers, which in general will
  6368     result in higher efficency; pattern matching with 0/Suc is eliminated;
  6369     includes Code_Integer.
  6370   - Code_Index provides an additional datatype index which is mapped to
  6371     target-language built-in integers.
  6372   - Code_Message provides an additional datatype message_string which is isomorphic to
  6373     strings; messages are mapped to target-language strings.
  6374 
  6375 * New package for inductive predicates
  6376 
  6377   An n-ary predicate p with m parameters z_1, ..., z_m can now be defined via
  6378 
  6379     inductive
  6380       p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6381       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6382     where
  6383       rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  6384     | ...
  6385 
  6386   with full support for type-inference, rather than
  6387 
  6388     consts s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6389 
  6390     abbreviation p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6391     where "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6392 
  6393     inductive "s z_1 ... z_m"
  6394     intros
  6395       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6396       ...
  6397 
  6398   For backward compatibility, there is a wrapper allowing inductive
  6399   sets to be defined with the new package via
  6400 
  6401     inductive_set
  6402       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6403       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6404     where
  6405       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6406     | ...
  6407 
  6408   or
  6409 
  6410     inductive_set
  6411       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6412       and p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6413       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6414     where
  6415       "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6416     | rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  6417     | ...
  6418 
  6419   if the additional syntax "p ..." is required.
  6420 
  6421   Numerous examples can be found in the subdirectories src/HOL/Auth,
  6422   src/HOL/Bali, src/HOL/Induct, and src/HOL/MicroJava.
  6423 
  6424   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  6425 
  6426   - Since declaration and definition of inductive sets or predicates
  6427     is no longer separated, abbreviations involving the newly
  6428     introduced sets or predicates must be specified together with the
  6429     introduction rules after the 'where' keyword (see above), rather
  6430     than before the actual inductive definition.
  6431 
  6432   - The variables in induction and elimination rules are now
  6433     quantified in the order of their occurrence in the introduction
  6434     rules, rather than in alphabetical order. Since this may break
  6435     some proofs, these proofs either have to be repaired, e.g. by
  6436     reordering the variables a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i} in Isar 'case'
  6437     statements of the form
  6438 
  6439       case (rule_i a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i})
  6440 
  6441     or the old order of quantification has to be restored by explicitly adding
  6442     meta-level quantifiers in the introduction rules, i.e.
  6443 
  6444       | rule_i: "!!a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i}. ... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_i_1 ... t_i_n"
  6445 
  6446   - The format of the elimination rules is now
  6447 
  6448       p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n ==>
  6449         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  6450         ==> ... ==> P
  6451 
  6452     for predicates and
  6453 
  6454       (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  6455         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  6456         ==> ... ==> P
  6457 
  6458     for sets rather than
  6459 
  6460       x : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  6461         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x = (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) ==> ... ==> P)
  6462         ==> ... ==> P
  6463 
  6464     This may require terms in goals to be expanded to n-tuples
  6465     (e.g. using case_tac or simplification with the split_paired_all
  6466     rule) before the above elimination rule is applicable.
  6467 
  6468   - The elimination or case analysis rules for (mutually) inductive
  6469     sets or predicates are now called "p_1.cases" ... "p_k.cases". The
  6470     list of rules "p_1_..._p_k.elims" is no longer available.
  6471 
  6472 * New package "function"/"fun" for general recursive functions,
  6473 supporting mutual and nested recursion, definitions in local contexts,
  6474 more general pattern matching and partiality. See HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy
  6475 for small examples, and the separate tutorial on the function
  6476 package. The old recdef "package" is still available as before, but
  6477 users are encouraged to use the new package.
  6478 
  6479 * Method "lexicographic_order" automatically synthesizes termination
  6480 relations as lexicographic combinations of size measures. 
  6481 
  6482 * Case-expressions allow arbitrary constructor-patterns (including
  6483 "_") and take their order into account, like in functional
  6484 programming.  Internally, this is translated into nested
  6485 case-expressions; missing cases are added and mapped to the predefined
  6486 constant "undefined". In complicated cases printing may no longer show
  6487 the original input but the internal form. Lambda-abstractions allow
  6488 the same form of pattern matching: "% pat1 => e1 | ..." is an
  6489 abbreviation for "%x. case x of pat1 => e1 | ..." where x is a new
  6490 variable.
  6491 
  6492 * IntDef: The constant "int :: nat => int" has been removed; now "int"
  6493 is an abbreviation for "of_nat :: nat => int". The simplification
  6494 rules for "of_nat" have been changed to work like "int" did
  6495 previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6496   - "of_nat (Suc m)" simplifies to "1 + of_nat m" instead of "of_nat m + 1"
  6497   - of_nat_diff and of_nat_mult are no longer default simp rules
  6498 
  6499 * Method "algebra" solves polynomial equations over (semi)rings using
  6500 Groebner bases. The (semi)ring structure is defined by locales and the
  6501 tool setup depends on that generic context. Installing the method for
  6502 a specific type involves instantiating the locale and possibly adding
  6503 declarations for computation on the coefficients.  The method is
  6504 already instantiated for natural numbers and for the axiomatic class
  6505 of idoms with numerals.  See also the paper by Chaieb and Wenzel at
  6506 CALCULEMUS 2007 for the general principles underlying this
  6507 architecture of context-aware proof-tools.
  6508 
  6509 * Method "ferrack" implements quantifier elimination over
  6510 special-purpose dense linear orders using locales (analogous to
  6511 "algebra"). The method is already installed for class
  6512 {ordered_field,recpower,number_ring} which subsumes real, hyperreal,
  6513 rat, etc.
  6514 
  6515 * Former constant "List.op @" now named "List.append".  Use ML
  6516 antiquotations @{const_name List.append} or @{term " ... @ ... "} to
  6517 circumvent possible incompatibilities when working on ML level.
  6518 
  6519 * primrec: missing cases mapped to "undefined" instead of "arbitrary".
  6520 
  6521 * New function listsum :: 'a list => 'a for arbitrary monoids.
  6522 Special syntax: "SUM x <- xs. f x" (and latex variants)
  6523 
  6524 * New syntax for Haskell-like list comprehension (input only), eg.
  6525 [(x,y). x <- xs, y <- ys, x ~= y], see also src/HOL/List.thy.
  6526 
  6527 * The special syntax for function "filter" has changed from [x :
  6528 xs. P] to [x <- xs. P] to avoid an ambiguity caused by list
  6529 comprehension syntax, and for uniformity.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6530 
  6531 * [a..b] is now defined for arbitrary linear orders.  It used to be
  6532 defined on nat only, as an abbreviation for [a..<Suc b]
  6533 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6534 
  6535 * Renamed lemma "set_take_whileD"  to "set_takeWhileD".
  6536 
  6537 * New functions "sorted" and "sort" in src/HOL/List.thy.
  6538 
  6539 * New lemma collection field_simps (an extension of ring_simps) for
  6540 manipulating (in)equations involving division. Multiplies with all
  6541 denominators that can be proved to be non-zero (in equations) or
  6542 positive/negative (in inequations).
  6543 
  6544 * Lemma collections ring_eq_simps, group_eq_simps and ring_distrib
  6545 have been improved and renamed to ring_simps, group_simps and
  6546 ring_distribs.  Removed lemmas field_xyz in theory Ring_and_Field
  6547 because they were subsumed by lemmas xyz.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6548 
  6549 * Theory Library/Commutative_Ring: switched from recdef to function
  6550 package; constants add, mul, pow now curried.  Infix syntax for
  6551 algebraic operations.
  6552 
  6553 * Dropped redundant lemma def_imp_eq in favor of meta_eq_to_obj_eq.
  6554 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6555 
  6556 * Dropped redundant lemma if_def2 in favor of if_bool_eq_conj.
  6557 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6558 
  6559 * HOL/records: generalised field-update to take a function on the
  6560 field rather than the new value: r(|A := x|) is translated to A_update
  6561 (K x) r The K-combinator that is internally used is called K_record.
  6562 INCOMPATIBILITY: Usage of the plain update functions has to be
  6563 adapted.
  6564  
  6565 * Class "semiring_0" now contains annihilation axioms x * 0 = 0 and 0
  6566 * x = 0, which are required for a semiring.  Richer structures do not
  6567 inherit from semiring_0 anymore, because this property is a theorem
  6568 there, not an axiom.  INCOMPATIBILITY: In instances of semiring_0,
  6569 there is more to prove, but this is mostly trivial.
  6570 
  6571 * Class "recpower" is generalized to arbitrary monoids, not just
  6572 commutative semirings.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to incorporate
  6573 commutativity or semiring properties additionally.
  6574 
  6575 * Constant "List.list_all2" in List.thy now uses authentic syntax.
  6576 INCOMPATIBILITY: translations containing list_all2 may go wrong,
  6577 better use 'abbreviation'.
  6578 
  6579 * Renamed constant "List.op mem" to "List.member".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6580 
  6581 * Numeral syntax: type 'bin' which was a mere type copy of 'int' has
  6582 been abandoned in favour of plain 'int'.  INCOMPATIBILITY --
  6583 significant changes for setting up numeral syntax for types:
  6584   - New constants Numeral.pred and Numeral.succ instead
  6585       of former Numeral.bin_pred and Numeral.bin_succ.
  6586   - Use integer operations instead of bin_add, bin_mult and so on.
  6587   - Numeral simplification theorems named Numeral.numeral_simps instead of Bin_simps.
  6588   - ML structure Bin_Simprocs now named Int_Numeral_Base_Simprocs.
  6589 
  6590 See src/HOL/Integ/IntArith.thy for an example setup.
  6591 
  6592 * Command 'normal_form' computes the normal form of a term that may
  6593 contain free variables.  For example ``normal_form "rev [a, b, c]"''
  6594 produces ``[b, c, a]'' (without proof).  This command is suitable for
  6595 heavy-duty computations because the functions are compiled to ML
  6596 first.  Correspondingly, a method "normalization" is provided.  See
  6597 further src/HOL/ex/NormalForm.thy and src/Tools/nbe.ML.
  6598 
  6599 * Alternative iff syntax "A <-> B" for equality on bool (with priority
  6600 25 like -->); output depends on the "iff" print_mode, the default is
  6601 "A = B" (with priority 50).
  6602 
  6603 * Relations less (<) and less_eq (<=) are also available on type bool.
  6604 Modified syntax to disallow nesting without explicit parentheses,
  6605 e.g. "(x < y) < z" or "x < (y < z)", but NOT "x < y < z".  Potential
  6606 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6607 
  6608 * "LEAST x:A. P" expands to "LEAST x. x:A & P" (input only).
  6609 
  6610 * Relation composition operator "op O" now has precedence 75 and binds
  6611 stronger than union and intersection. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6612 
  6613 * The old set interval syntax "{m..n(}" (and relatives) has been
  6614 removed.  Use "{m..<n}" (and relatives) instead.
  6615 
  6616 * In the context of the assumption "~(s = t)" the Simplifier rewrites
  6617 "t = s" to False (by simproc "neq").  INCOMPATIBILITY, consider using
  6618 ``declare [[simproc del: neq]]''.
  6619 
  6620 * Simplifier: "m dvd n" where m and n are numbers is evaluated to
  6621 True/False.
  6622 
  6623 * Theorem Cons_eq_map_conv no longer declared as "simp".
  6624 
  6625 * Theorem setsum_mult renamed to setsum_right_distrib.
  6626 
  6627 * Prefer ex1I over ex_ex1I in single-step reasoning, e.g. by the
  6628 ``rule'' method.
  6629 
  6630 * Reimplemented methods "sat" and "satx", with several improvements:
  6631 goals no longer need to be stated as "<prems> ==> False", equivalences
  6632 (i.e. "=" on type bool) are handled, variable names of the form
  6633 "lit_<n>" are no longer reserved, significant speedup.
  6634 
  6635 * Methods "sat" and "satx" can now replay MiniSat proof traces.
  6636 zChaff is still supported as well.
  6637 
  6638 * 'inductive' and 'datatype': provide projections of mutual rules,
  6639 bundled as foo_bar.inducts;
  6640 
  6641 * Library: moved theories Parity, GCD, Binomial, Infinite_Set to
  6642 Library.
  6643 
  6644 * Library: moved theory Accessible_Part to main HOL.
  6645 
  6646 * Library: added theory Coinductive_List of potentially infinite lists
  6647 as greatest fixed-point.
  6648 
  6649 * Library: added theory AssocList which implements (finite) maps as
  6650 association lists.
  6651 
  6652 * Method "evaluation" solves goals (i.e. a boolean expression)
  6653 efficiently by compiling it to ML.  The goal is "proved" (via an
  6654 oracle) if it evaluates to True.
  6655 
  6656 * Linear arithmetic now splits certain operators (e.g. min, max, abs)
  6657 also when invoked by the simplifier.  This results in the Simplifier
  6658 being more powerful on arithmetic goals.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6659 Configuration option fast_arith_split_limit=0 recovers the old
  6660 behavior.
  6661 
  6662 * Support for hex (0x20) and binary (0b1001) numerals.
  6663 
  6664 * New method: reify eqs (t), where eqs are equations for an
  6665 interpretation I :: 'a list => 'b => 'c and t::'c is an optional
  6666 parameter, computes a term s::'b and a list xs::'a list and proves the
  6667 theorem I xs s = t. This is also known as reification or quoting. The
  6668 resulting theorem is applied to the subgoal to substitute t with I xs
  6669 s.  If t is omitted, the subgoal itself is reified.
  6670 
  6671 * New method: reflection corr_thm eqs (t). The parameters eqs and (t)
  6672 are as explained above. corr_thm is a theorem for I vs (f t) = I vs t,
  6673 where f is supposed to be a computable function (in the sense of code
  6674 generattion). The method uses reify to compute s and xs as above then
  6675 applies corr_thm and uses normalization by evaluation to "prove" f s =
  6676 r and finally gets the theorem t = r, which is again applied to the
  6677 subgoal. An Example is available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy.
  6678 
  6679 * Reflection: Automatic reification now handels binding, an example is
  6680 available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy
  6681 
  6682 * HOL-Statespace: ``State Spaces: The Locale Way'' introduces a
  6683 command 'statespace' that is similar to 'record', but introduces an
  6684 abstract specification based on the locale infrastructure instead of
  6685 HOL types.  This leads to extra flexibility in composing state spaces,
  6686 in particular multiple inheritance and renaming of components.
  6687 
  6688 
  6689 *** HOL-Complex ***
  6690 
  6691 * Hyperreal: Functions root and sqrt are now defined on negative real
  6692 inputs so that root n (- x) = - root n x and sqrt (- x) = - sqrt x.
  6693 Nonnegativity side conditions have been removed from many lemmas, so
  6694 that more subgoals may now be solved by simplification; potential
  6695 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6696 
  6697 * Real: new type classes formalize real normed vector spaces and
  6698 algebras, using new overloaded constants scaleR :: real => 'a => 'a
  6699 and norm :: 'a => real.
  6700 
  6701 * Real: constant of_real :: real => 'a::real_algebra_1 injects from
  6702 reals into other types. The overloaded constant Reals :: 'a set is now
  6703 defined as range of_real; potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6704 
  6705 * Real: proper support for ML code generation, including 'quickcheck'.
  6706 Reals are implemented as arbitrary precision rationals.
  6707 
  6708 * Hyperreal: Several constants that previously worked only for the
  6709 reals have been generalized, so they now work over arbitrary vector
  6710 spaces. Type annotations may need to be added in some cases; potential
  6711 INCOMPATIBILITY.

  6727   exp            :: 'a::{recpower,real_normed_field,banach} => 'a
  6728 
  6729 * Complex: Some complex-specific constants are now abbreviations for
  6730 overloaded ones: complex_of_real = of_real, cmod = norm, hcmod =
  6731 hnorm.  Other constants have been entirely removed in favor of the
  6732 polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  6733

  6735   HFinite       <-- CFinite
  6736   HInfinite     <-- CInfinite

  6738   monad         <-- cmonad
  6739   galaxy        <-- cgalaxy

  6741   is(NS)Cont    <-- is(NS)Contc, is(NS)contCR
  6742   (ns)deriv     <-- (ns)cderiv
  6743 
  6744 
  6745 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  6746 
  6747 * Formalisation of ideals and the quotient construction over rings.
  6748 
  6749 * Order and lattice theory no longer based on records.
  6750 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6751 
  6752 * Renamed lemmas least_carrier -> least_closed and greatest_carrier ->
  6753 greatest_closed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6754 
  6755 * Method algebra is now set up via an attribute.  For examples see
  6756 Ring.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY: the method is now weaker on combinations
  6757 of algebraic structures.
  6758 
  6759 * Renamed theory CRing to Ring.
  6760 
  6761 
  6762 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  6763 
  6764 * Substantial, yet incomplete support for nominal datatypes (binding
  6765 structures) based on HOL-Nominal logic.  See src/HOL/Nominal and
  6766 src/HOL/Nominal/Examples.  Prospective users should consult
  6767 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/nominal/
  6768 
  6769 
  6770 *** ML ***
  6771 
  6772 * ML basics: just one true type int, which coincides with IntInf.int
  6773 (even on SML/NJ).
  6774 
  6775 * ML within Isar: antiquotations allow to embed statically-checked
  6776 formal entities in the source, referring to the context available at
  6777 compile-time.  For example:
  6778 
  6779 ML {* @{sort "{zero,one}"} *}
  6780 ML {* @{typ "'a => 'b"} *}
  6781 ML {* @{term "%x. x"} *}
  6782 ML {* @{prop "x == y"} *}
  6783 ML {* @{ctyp "'a => 'b"} *}
  6784 ML {* @{cterm "%x. x"} *}
  6785 ML {* @{cprop "x == y"} *}
  6786 ML {* @{thm asm_rl} *}
  6787 ML {* @{thms asm_rl} *}
  6788 ML {* @{type_name c} *}
  6789 ML {* @{type_syntax c} *}
  6790 ML {* @{const_name c} *}
  6791 ML {* @{const_syntax c} *}
  6792 ML {* @{context} *}
  6793 ML {* @{theory} *}
  6794 ML {* @{theory Pure} *}
  6795 ML {* @{theory_ref} *}
  6796 ML {* @{theory_ref Pure} *}
  6797 ML {* @{simpset} *}
  6798 ML {* @{claset} *}
  6799 ML {* @{clasimpset} *}
  6800 
  6801 The same works for sources being ``used'' within an Isar context.
  6802 
  6803 * ML in Isar: improved error reporting; extra verbosity with
  6804 ML_Context.trace enabled.
  6805 
  6806 * Pure/General/table.ML: the join operations now works via exceptions
  6807 DUP/SAME instead of type option. This is simpler in simple cases, and
  6808 admits slightly more efficient complex applications.
  6809 
  6810 * Pure: 'advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) now
  6811 use Context.generic instead of just theory.
  6812 
  6813 * Pure: datatype Context.generic joins theory/Proof.context and
  6814 provides some facilities for code that works in either kind of
  6815 context, notably GenericDataFun for uniform theory and proof data.
  6816 
  6817 * Pure: simplified internal attribute type, which is now always
  6818 Context.generic * thm -> Context.generic * thm. Global (theory) vs.
  6819 local (Proof.context) attributes have been discontinued, while
  6820 minimizing code duplication. Thm.rule_attribute and
  6821 Thm.declaration_attribute build canonical attributes; see also structure
  6822 Context for further operations on Context.generic, notably
  6823 GenericDataFun. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt attribute type
  6824 declarations and definitions.
  6825 
  6826 * Context data interfaces (Theory/Proof/GenericDataFun): removed
  6827 name/print, uninitialized data defaults to ad-hoc copy of empty value,
  6828 init only required for impure data. INCOMPATIBILITY: empty really need
  6829 to be empty (no dependencies on theory content!)
  6830 
  6831 * Pure/kernel: consts certification ignores sort constraints given in
  6832 signature declarations. (This information is not relevant to the
  6833 logic, but only for type inference.) SIGNIFICANT INTERNAL CHANGE,
  6834 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6835 
  6836 * Pure: axiomatic type classes are now purely definitional, with
  6837 explicit proofs of class axioms and super class relations performed
  6838 internally. See Pure/axclass.ML for the main internal interfaces --
  6839 notably AxClass.define_class supercedes AxClass.add_axclass, and
  6840 AxClass.axiomatize_class/classrel/arity supersede
  6841 Sign.add_classes/classrel/arities.
  6842 
  6843 * Pure/Isar: Args/Attrib parsers operate on Context.generic --
  6844 global/local versions on theory vs. Proof.context have been
  6845 discontinued; Attrib.syntax and Method.syntax have been adapted
  6846 accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt parser expressions for
  6847 attributes, methods, etc.
  6848 
  6849 * Pure: several functions of signature "... -> theory -> theory * ..."
  6850 have been reoriented to "... -> theory -> ... * theory" in order to
  6851 allow natural usage in combination with the ||>, ||>>, |-> and
  6852 fold_map combinators.
  6853 
  6854 * Pure: official theorem names (closed derivations) and additional
  6855 comments (tags) are now strictly separate.  Name hints -- which are
  6856 maintained as tags -- may be attached any time without affecting the
  6857 derivation.
  6858 
  6859 * Pure: primitive rule lift_rule now takes goal cterm instead of an
  6860 actual goal state (thm).  Use Thm.lift_rule (Thm.cprem_of st i) to
  6861 achieve the old behaviour.
  6862 
  6863 * Pure: the "Goal" constant is now called "prop", supporting a
  6864 slightly more general idea of ``protecting'' meta-level rule
  6865 statements.
  6866 
  6867 * Pure: Logic.(un)varify only works in a global context, which is now
  6868 enforced instead of silently assumed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use
  6869 Logic.legacy_(un)varify as temporary workaround.
  6870 
  6871 * Pure: structure Name provides scalable operations for generating
  6872 internal variable names, notably Name.variants etc.  This replaces
  6873 some popular functions from term.ML:
  6874 
  6875   Term.variant		->  Name.variant
  6876   Term.variantlist	->  Name.variant_list
  6877   Term.invent_names	->  Name.invent_list
  6878 
  6879 Note that low-level renaming rarely occurs in new code -- operations
  6880 from structure Variable are used instead (see below).
  6881 
  6882 * Pure: structure Variable provides fundamental operations for proper
  6883 treatment of fixed/schematic variables in a context.  For example,
  6884 Variable.import introduces fixes for schematics of given facts and
  6885 Variable.export reverses the effect (up to renaming) -- this replaces
  6886 various freeze_thaw operations.
  6887 
  6888 * Pure: structure Goal provides simple interfaces for
  6889 init/conclude/finish and tactical prove operations (replacing former
  6890 Tactic.prove).  Goal.prove is the canonical way to prove results
  6891 within a given context; Goal.prove_global is a degraded version for
  6892 theory level goals, including a global Drule.standard.  Note that
  6893 OldGoals.prove_goalw_cterm has long been obsolete, since it is
  6894 ill-behaved in a local proof context (e.g. with local fixes/assumes or
  6895 in a locale context).
  6896 
  6897 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for parsing (Syntax.parse_term etc.)
  6898 and type checking (Syntax.check_term etc.), with common combinations
  6899 (Syntax.read_term etc.). These supersede former Sign.read_term etc.
  6900 which are considered legacy and await removal.
  6901 
  6902 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for type unchecking
  6903 (Syntax.uncheck_terms etc.) and unparsing (Syntax.unparse_term etc.),
  6904 with common combinations (Syntax.pretty_term, Syntax.string_of_term
  6905 etc.).  Former Sign.pretty_term, Sign.string_of_term etc. are still
  6906 available for convenience, but refer to the very same operations using
  6907 a mere theory instead of a full context.
  6908 
  6909 * Isar: simplified treatment of user-level errors, using exception
  6910 ERROR of string uniformly.  Function error now merely raises ERROR,
  6911 without any side effect on output channels.  The Isar toplevel takes
  6912 care of proper display of ERROR exceptions.  ML code may use plain
  6913 handle/can/try; cat_error may be used to concatenate errors like this:
  6914 
  6915   ... handle ERROR msg => cat_error msg "..."
  6916 
  6917 Toplevel ML code (run directly or through the Isar toplevel) may be
  6918 embedded into the Isar toplevel with exception display/debug like
  6919 this:
  6920 
  6921   Isar.toplevel (fn () => ...)
  6922 
  6923 INCOMPATIBILITY, removed special transform_error facilities, removed
  6924 obsolete variants of user-level exceptions (ERROR_MESSAGE,
  6925 Context.PROOF, ProofContext.CONTEXT, Proof.STATE, ProofHistory.FAIL)
  6926 -- use plain ERROR instead.
  6927 
  6928 * Isar: theory setup now has type (theory -> theory), instead of a
  6929 list.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use #> to compose setup functions.
  6930 
  6931 * Isar: ML toplevel pretty printer for type Proof.context, subject to
  6932 ProofContext.debug/verbose flags.
  6933 
  6934 * Isar: Toplevel.theory_to_proof admits transactions that modify the
  6935 theory before entering a proof state.  Transactions now always see a
  6936 quasi-functional intermediate checkpoint, both in interactive and
  6937 batch mode.
  6938 
  6939 * Isar: simplified interfaces for outer syntax.  Renamed
  6940 OuterSyntax.add_keywords to OuterSyntax.keywords.  Removed
  6941 OuterSyntax.add_parsers -- this functionality is now included in
  6942 OuterSyntax.command etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6943 
  6944 * Simplifier: the simpset of a running simplification process now
  6945 contains a proof context (cf. Simplifier.the_context), which is the
  6946 very context that the initial simpset has been retrieved from (by
  6947 simpset_of/local_simpset_of).  Consequently, all plug-in components
  6948 (solver, looper etc.) may depend on arbitrary proof data.
  6949 
  6950 * Simplifier.inherit_context inherits the proof context (plus the
  6951 local bounds) of the current simplification process; any simproc
  6952 etc. that calls the Simplifier recursively should do this!  Removed
  6953 former Simplifier.inherit_bounds, which is already included here --
  6954 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Tools based on low-level rewriting may even have to
  6955 specify an explicit context using Simplifier.context/theory_context.
  6956 
  6957 * Simplifier/Classical Reasoner: more abstract interfaces
  6958 change_simpset/claset for modifying the simpset/claset reference of a
  6959 theory; raw versions simpset/claset_ref etc. have been discontinued --
  6960 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6961 
  6962 * Provers: more generic wrt. syntax of object-logics, avoid hardwired
  6963 "Trueprop" etc.
  6964 
  6965 
  6966 *** System ***
  6967 
  6968 * settings: the default heap location within ISABELLE_HOME_USER now
  6969 includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER.  This simplifies use of multiple
  6970 Isabelle installations.
  6971 
  6972 * isabelle-process: option -S (secure mode) disables some critical
  6973 operations, notably runtime compilation and evaluation of ML source
  6974 code.
  6975 
  6976 * Basic Isabelle mode for jEdit, see Isabelle/lib/jedit/.
  6977 
  6978 * Support for parallel execution, using native multicore support of
  6979 Poly/ML 5.1.  The theory loader exploits parallelism when processing
  6980 independent theories, according to the given theory header
  6981 specifications. The maximum number of worker threads is specified via
  6982 usedir option -M or the "max-threads" setting in Proof General. A
  6983 speedup factor of 1.5--3.5 can be expected on a 4-core machine, and up
  6984 to 6 on a 8-core machine.  User-code needs to observe certain
  6985 guidelines for thread-safe programming, see appendix A in the Isar
  6986 Implementation manual.
  6987 
  6988 
  6989 
  6990 New in Isabelle2005 (October 2005)
  6991 ----------------------------------
  6992 
  6993 *** General ***
  6994 
  6995 * Theory headers: the new header syntax for Isar theories is
  6996 
  6997   theory <name>
  6998   imports <theory1> ... <theoryN>
  6999   uses <file1> ... <fileM>
  7000   begin
  7001 
  7002 where the 'uses' part is optional.  The previous syntax
  7003 
  7004   theory <name> = <theory1> + ... + <theoryN>:
  7005 
  7006 will disappear in the next release.  Use isatool fixheaders to convert
  7007 existing theory files.  Note that there is no change in ancient
  7008 non-Isar theories now, but these will disappear soon.
  7009 
  7010 * Theory loader: parent theories can now also be referred to via
  7011 relative and absolute paths.
  7012 
  7013 * Command 'find_theorems' searches for a list of criteria instead of a
  7014 list of constants. Known criteria are: intro, elim, dest, name:string,
  7015 simp:term, and any term. Criteria can be preceded by '-' to select
  7016 theorems that do not match. Intro, elim, dest select theorems that
  7017 match the current goal, name:s selects theorems whose fully qualified
  7018 name contain s, and simp:term selects all simplification rules whose
  7019 lhs match term.  Any other term is interpreted as pattern and selects
  7020 all theorems matching the pattern. Available in ProofGeneral under
  7021 'ProofGeneral -> Find Theorems' or C-c C-f.  Example:
  7022 
  7023   C-c C-f (100) "(_::nat) + _ + _" intro -name: "HOL."
  7024 
  7025 prints the last 100 theorems matching the pattern "(_::nat) + _ + _",
  7026 matching the current goal as introduction rule and not having "HOL."
  7027 in their name (i.e. not being defined in theory HOL).
  7028 
  7029 * Command 'thms_containing' has been discontinued in favour of
  7030 'find_theorems'; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7031 
  7032 * Communication with Proof General is now 8bit clean, which means that
  7033 Unicode text in UTF-8 encoding may be used within theory texts (both
  7034 formal and informal parts).  Cf. option -U of the Isabelle Proof
  7035 General interface.  Here are some simple examples (cf. src/HOL/ex):
  7036 
  7037   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Hebrew.html
  7038   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Chinese.html
  7039 
  7040 * Improved efficiency of the Simplifier and, to a lesser degree, the
  7041 Classical Reasoner.  Typical big applications run around 2 times
  7042 faster.
  7043 
  7044 
  7045 *** Document preparation ***
  7046 
  7047 * Commands 'display_drafts' and 'print_drafts' perform simple output
  7048 of raw sources.  Only those symbols that do not require additional
  7049 LaTeX packages (depending on comments in isabellesym.sty) are
  7050 displayed properly, everything else is left verbatim.  isatool display
  7051 and isatool print are used as front ends (these are subject to the
  7052 DVI/PDF_VIEWER and PRINT_COMMAND settings, respectively).
  7053 
  7054 * Command tags control specific markup of certain regions of text,
  7055 notably folding and hiding.  Predefined tags include "theory" (for
  7056 theory begin and end), "proof" for proof commands, and "ML" for
  7057 commands involving ML code; the additional tags "visible" and
  7058 "invisible" are unused by default.  Users may give explicit tag
  7059 specifications in the text, e.g. ''by %invisible (auto)''.  The
  7060 interpretation of tags is determined by the LaTeX job during document
  7061 preparation: see option -V of isatool usedir, or options -n and -t of
  7062 isatool document, or even the LaTeX macros \isakeeptag, \isafoldtag,
  7063 \isadroptag.
  7064 
  7065 Several document versions may be produced at the same time via isatool
  7066 usedir (the generated index.html will link all of them).  Typical
  7067 specifications include ''-V document=theory,proof,ML'' to present
  7068 theory/proof/ML parts faithfully, ''-V outline=/proof,/ML'' to fold
  7069 proof and ML commands, and ''-V mutilated=-theory,-proof,-ML'' to omit
  7070 these parts without any formal replacement text.  The Isabelle site
  7071 default settings produce ''document'' and ''outline'' versions as
  7072 specified above.
  7073 
  7074 * Several new antiquotations:
  7075 
  7076   @{term_type term} prints a term with its type annotated;
  7077 
  7078   @{typeof term} prints the type of a term;
  7079 
  7080   @{const const} is the same as @{term const}, but checks that the
  7081   argument is a known logical constant;
  7082 
  7083   @{term_style style term} and @{thm_style style thm} print a term or
  7084   theorem applying a "style" to it
  7085 
  7086   @{ML text}
  7087 
  7088 Predefined styles are 'lhs' and 'rhs' printing the lhs/rhs of
  7089 definitions, equations, inequations etc., 'concl' printing only the
  7090 conclusion of a meta-logical statement theorem, and 'prem1' .. 'prem19'
  7091 to print the specified premise.  TermStyle.add_style provides an ML
  7092 interface for introducing further styles.  See also the "LaTeX Sugar"
  7093 document practical applications.  The ML antiquotation prints
  7094 type-checked ML expressions verbatim.
  7095 
  7096 * Markup commands 'chapter', 'section', 'subsection', 'subsubsection',
  7097 and 'text' support optional locale specification '(in loc)', which
  7098 specifies the default context for interpreting antiquotations.  For
  7099 example: 'text (in lattice) {* @{thm inf_assoc}*}'.
  7100 
  7101 * Option 'locale=NAME' of antiquotations specifies an alternative
  7102 context interpreting the subsequent argument.  For example: @{thm
  7103 [locale=lattice] inf_assoc}.
  7104 
  7105 * Proper output of proof terms (@{prf ...} and @{full_prf ...}) within
  7106 a proof context.
  7107 
  7108 * Proper output of antiquotations for theory commands involving a
  7109 proof context (such as 'locale' or 'theorem (in loc) ...').
  7110 
  7111 * Delimiters of outer tokens (string etc.) now produce separate LaTeX
  7112 macros (\isachardoublequoteopen, isachardoublequoteclose etc.).
  7113 
  7114 * isatool usedir: new option -C (default true) controls whether option
  7115 -D should include a copy of the original document directory; -C false
  7116 prevents unwanted effects such as copying of administrative CVS data.
  7117 
  7118 
  7119 *** Pure ***
  7120 
  7121 * Considerably improved version of 'constdefs' command.  Now performs
  7122 automatic type-inference of declared constants; additional support for
  7123 local structure declarations (cf. locales and HOL records), see also
  7124 isar-ref manual.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to observe strictly
  7125 sequential dependencies of definitions within a single 'constdefs'
  7126 section; moreover, the declared name needs to be an identifier.  If
  7127 all fails, consider to fall back on 'consts' and 'defs' separately.
  7128 
  7129 * Improved indexed syntax and implicit structures.  First of all,
  7130 indexed syntax provides a notational device for subscripted
  7131 application, using the new syntax \<^bsub>term\<^esub> for arbitrary
  7132 expressions.  Secondly, in a local context with structure
  7133 declarations, number indexes \<^sub>n or the empty index (default
  7134 number 1) refer to a certain fixed variable implicitly; option
  7135 show_structs controls printing of implicit structures.  Typical
  7136 applications of these concepts involve record types and locales.
  7137 
  7138 * New command 'no_syntax' removes grammar declarations (and
  7139 translations) resulting from the given syntax specification, which is
  7140 interpreted in the same manner as for the 'syntax' command.
  7141 
  7142 * 'Advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) may depend
  7143 on the signature of the theory context being presently used for
  7144 parsing/printing, see also isar-ref manual.
  7145 
  7146 * Improved 'oracle' command provides a type-safe interface to turn an
  7147 ML expression of type theory -> T -> term into a primitive rule of
  7148 type theory -> T -> thm (i.e. the functionality of Thm.invoke_oracle
  7149 is already included here); see also FOL/ex/IffExample.thy;
  7150 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7151 
  7152 * axclass: name space prefix for class "c" is now "c_class" (was "c"
  7153 before); "cI" is no longer bound, use "c.intro" instead.
  7154 INCOMPATIBILITY.  This change avoids clashes of fact bindings for
  7155 axclasses vs. locales.
  7156 
  7157 * Improved internal renaming of symbolic identifiers -- attach primes
  7158 instead of base 26 numbers.
  7159 
  7160 * New flag show_question_marks controls printing of leading question
  7161 marks in schematic variable names.
  7162 
  7163 * In schematic variable names, *any* symbol following \<^isub> or
  7164 \<^isup> is now treated as part of the base name.  For example, the
  7165 following works without printing of awkward ".0" indexes:
  7166 
  7167   lemma "x\<^isub>1 = x\<^isub>2 ==> x\<^isub>2 = x\<^isub>1"
  7168     by simp
  7169 
  7170 * Inner syntax includes (*(*nested*) comments*).
  7171 
  7172 * Pretty printer now supports unbreakable blocks, specified in mixfix
  7173 annotations as "(00...)".
  7174 
  7175 * Clear separation of logical types and nonterminals, where the latter
  7176 may only occur in 'syntax' specifications or type abbreviations.
  7177 Before that distinction was only partially implemented via type class
  7178 "logic" vs. "{}".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare cases of improper
  7179 use of 'types'/'consts' instead of 'nonterminals'/'syntax'.  Some very
  7180 exotic syntax specifications may require further adaption
  7181 (e.g. Cube/Cube.thy).
  7182 
  7183 * Removed obsolete type class "logic", use the top sort {} instead.
  7184 Note that non-logical types should be declared as 'nonterminals'
  7185 rather than 'types'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for new object-logic
  7186 specifications.
  7187 
  7188 * Attributes 'induct' and 'cases': type or set names may now be
  7189 locally fixed variables as well.
  7190 
  7191 * Simplifier: can now control the depth to which conditional rewriting
  7192 is traced via the PG menu Isabelle -> Settings -> Trace Simp Depth
  7193 Limit.
  7194 
  7195 * Simplifier: simplification procedures may now take the current
  7196 simpset into account (cf. Simplifier.simproc(_i) / mk_simproc
  7197 interface), which is very useful for calling the Simplifier
  7198 recursively.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: the 'prems' argument of simprocs
  7199 is gone -- use prems_of_ss on the simpset instead.  Moreover, the
  7200 low-level mk_simproc no longer applies Logic.varify internally, to
  7201 allow for use in a context of fixed variables.
  7202 
  7203 * thin_tac now works even if the assumption being deleted contains !!
  7204 or ==>.  More generally, erule now works even if the major premise of
  7205 the elimination rule contains !! or ==>.
  7206 
  7207 * Method 'rules' has been renamed to 'iprover'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7208 
  7209 * Reorganized bootstrapping of the Pure theories; CPure is now derived
  7210 from Pure, which contains all common declarations already.  Both
  7211 theories are defined via plain Isabelle/Isar .thy files.
  7212 INCOMPATIBILITY: elements of CPure (such as the CPure.intro /
  7213 CPure.elim / CPure.dest attributes) now appear in the Pure name space;
  7214 use isatool fixcpure to adapt your theory and ML sources.
  7215 
  7216 * New syntax 'name(i-j, i-, i, ...)' for referring to specific
  7217 selections of theorems in named facts via index ranges.
  7218 
  7219 * 'print_theorems': in theory mode, really print the difference
  7220 wrt. the last state (works for interactive theory development only),
  7221 in proof mode print all local facts (cf. 'print_facts');
  7222 
  7223 * 'hide': option '(open)' hides only base names.
  7224 
  7225 * More efficient treatment of intermediate checkpoints in interactive
  7226 theory development.
  7227 
  7228 * Code generator is now invoked via code_module (incremental code
  7229 generation) and code_library (modular code generation, ML structures
  7230 for each theory).  INCOMPATIBILITY: new keywords 'file' and 'contains'
  7231 must be quoted when used as identifiers.
  7232 
  7233 * New 'value' command for reading, evaluating and printing terms using
  7234 the code generator.  INCOMPATIBILITY: command keyword 'value' must be
  7235 quoted when used as identifier.
  7236 
  7237 
  7238 *** Locales ***
  7239 
  7240 * New commands for the interpretation of locale expressions in
  7241 theories (1), locales (2) and proof contexts (3).  These generate
  7242 proof obligations from the expression specification.  After the
  7243 obligations have been discharged, theorems of the expression are added
  7244 to the theory, target locale or proof context.  The synopsis of the
  7245 commands is a follows:
  7246 
  7247   (1) interpretation expr inst
  7248   (2) interpretation target < expr
  7249   (3) interpret expr inst
  7250 
  7251 Interpretation in theories and proof contexts require a parameter
  7252 instantiation of terms from the current context.  This is applied to
  7253 specifications and theorems of the interpreted expression.
  7254 Interpretation in locales only permits parameter renaming through the
  7255 locale expression.  Interpretation is smart in that interpretations
  7256 that are active already do not occur in proof obligations, neither are
  7257 instantiated theorems stored in duplicate.  Use 'print_interps' to
  7258 inspect active interpretations of a particular locale.  For details,
  7259 see the Isar Reference manual.  Examples can be found in
  7260 HOL/Finite_Set.thy and HOL/Algebra/UnivPoly.thy.
  7261 
  7262 INCOMPATIBILITY: former 'instantiate' has been withdrawn, use
  7263 'interpret' instead.
  7264 
  7265 * New context element 'constrains' for adding type constraints to
  7266 parameters.
  7267 
  7268 * Context expressions: renaming of parameters with syntax
  7269 redeclaration.
  7270 
  7271 * Locale declaration: 'includes' disallowed.
  7272 
  7273 * Proper static binding of attribute syntax -- i.e. types / terms /
  7274 facts mentioned as arguments are always those of the locale definition
  7275 context, independently of the context of later invocations.  Moreover,
  7276 locale operations (renaming and type / term instantiation) are applied
  7277 to attribute arguments as expected.
  7278 
  7279 INCOMPATIBILITY of the ML interface: always pass Attrib.src instead of
  7280 actual attributes; rare situations may require Attrib.attribute to
  7281 embed those attributes into Attrib.src that lack concrete syntax.
  7282 Attribute implementations need to cooperate properly with the static
  7283 binding mechanism.  Basic parsers Args.XXX_typ/term/prop and
  7284 Attrib.XXX_thm etc. already do the right thing without further
  7285 intervention.  Only unusual applications -- such as "where" or "of"
  7286 (cf. src/Pure/Isar/attrib.ML), which process arguments depending both
  7287 on the context and the facts involved -- may have to assign parsed
  7288 values to argument tokens explicitly.
  7289 
  7290 * Changed parameter management in theorem generation for long goal
  7291 statements with 'includes'.  INCOMPATIBILITY: produces a different
  7292 theorem statement in rare situations.
  7293 
  7294 * Locale inspection command 'print_locale' omits notes elements.  Use
  7295 'print_locale!' to have them included in the output.
  7296 
  7297 
  7298 *** Provers ***
  7299 
  7300 * Provers/hypsubst.ML: improved version of the subst method, for
  7301 single-step rewriting: it now works in bound variable contexts. New is
  7302 'subst (asm)', for rewriting an assumption.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may
  7303 rewrite a different subterm than the original subst method, which is
  7304 still available as 'simplesubst'.
  7305 
  7306 * Provers/quasi.ML: new transitivity reasoners for transitivity only
  7307 and quasi orders.
  7308 
  7309 * Provers/trancl.ML: new transitivity reasoner for transitive and
  7310 reflexive-transitive closure of relations.
  7311 
  7312 * Provers/blast.ML: new reference depth_limit to make blast's depth
  7313 limit (previously hard-coded with a value of 20) user-definable.
  7314 
  7315 * Provers/simplifier.ML has been moved to Pure, where Simplifier.setup
  7316 is peformed already.  Object-logics merely need to finish their
  7317 initial simpset configuration as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7318 
  7319 
  7320 *** HOL ***
  7321 
  7322 * Symbolic syntax of Hilbert Choice Operator is now as follows:
  7323 
  7324   syntax (epsilon)
  7325     "_Eps" :: "[pttrn, bool] => 'a"    ("(3\<some>_./ _)" [0, 10] 10)
  7326 
  7327 The symbol \<some> is displayed as the alternative epsilon of LaTeX
  7328 and x-symbol; use option '-m epsilon' to get it actually printed.
  7329 Moreover, the mathematically important symbolic identifier \<epsilon>
  7330 becomes available as variable, constant etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  7331 
  7332 * "x > y" abbreviates "y < x" and "x >= y" abbreviates "y <= x".
  7333 Similarly for all quantifiers: "ALL x > y" etc.  The x-symbol for >=
  7334 is \<ge>. New transitivity rules have been added to HOL/Orderings.thy to
  7335 support corresponding Isar calculations.
  7336 
  7337 * "{x:A. P}" abbreviates "{x. x:A & P}", and similarly for "\<in>"
  7338 instead of ":".
  7339 
  7340 * theory SetInterval: changed the syntax for open intervals:
  7341 
  7342   Old       New
  7343   {..n(}    {..<n}
  7344   {)n..}    {n<..}
  7345   {m..n(}   {m..<n}
  7346   {)m..n}   {m<..n}
  7347   {)m..n(}  {m<..<n}
  7348 
  7349 The old syntax is still supported but will disappear in the next
  7350 release.  For conversion use the following Emacs search and replace
  7351 patterns (these are not perfect but work quite well):
  7352 
  7353   {)\([^\.]*\)\.\.  ->  {\1<\.\.}
  7354   \.\.\([^(}]*\)(}  ->  \.\.<\1}
  7355 
  7356 * Theory Commutative_Ring (in Library): method comm_ring for proving
  7357 equalities in commutative rings; method 'algebra' provides a generic
  7358 interface.
  7359 
  7360 * Theory Finite_Set: changed the syntax for 'setsum', summation over
  7361 finite sets: "setsum (%x. e) A", which used to be "\<Sum>x:A. e", is
  7362 now either "SUM x:A. e" or "\<Sum>x \<in> A. e". The bound variable can
  7363 be a tuple pattern.
  7364 
  7365 Some new syntax forms are available:
  7366 
  7367   "\<Sum>x | P. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {x. P}"
  7368   "\<Sum>x = a..b. e"   for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..b}"
  7369   "\<Sum>x = a..<b. e"  for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..<b}"
  7370   "\<Sum>x < k. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {..<k}"
  7371 
  7372 The latter form "\<Sum>x < k. e" used to be based on a separate
  7373 function "Summation", which has been discontinued.
  7374 
  7375 * theory Finite_Set: in structured induction proofs, the insert case
  7376 is now 'case (insert x F)' instead of the old counterintuitive 'case
  7377 (insert F x)'.
  7378 
  7379 * The 'refute' command has been extended to support a much larger
  7380 fragment of HOL, including axiomatic type classes, constdefs and
  7381 typedefs, inductive datatypes and recursion.
  7382 
  7383 * New tactics 'sat' and 'satx' to prove propositional tautologies.
  7384 Requires zChaff with proof generation to be installed.  See
  7385 HOL/ex/SAT_Examples.thy for examples.
  7386 
  7387 * Datatype induction via method 'induct' now preserves the name of the
  7388 induction variable. For example, when proving P(xs::'a list) by
  7389 induction on xs, the induction step is now P(xs) ==> P(a#xs) rather
  7390 than P(list) ==> P(a#list) as previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  7391 in unstructured proof scripts.
  7392 
  7393 * Reworked implementation of records.  Improved scalability for
  7394 records with many fields, avoiding performance problems for type
  7395 inference. Records are no longer composed of nested field types, but
  7396 of nested extension types. Therefore the record type only grows linear
  7397 in the number of extensions and not in the number of fields.  The
  7398 top-level (users) view on records is preserved.  Potential
  7399 INCOMPATIBILITY only in strange cases, where the theory depends on the
  7400 old record representation. The type generated for a record is called
  7401 <record_name>_ext_type.
  7402 
  7403 Flag record_quick_and_dirty_sensitive can be enabled to skip the
  7404 proofs triggered by a record definition or a simproc (if
  7405 quick_and_dirty is enabled).  Definitions of large records can take
  7406 quite long.
  7407 
  7408 New simproc record_upd_simproc for simplification of multiple record
  7409 updates enabled by default.  Moreover, trivial updates are also
  7410 removed: r(|x := x r|) = r.  INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break
  7411 occasionally, since simplification is more powerful by default.
  7412 
  7413 * typedef: proper support for polymorphic sets, which contain extra
  7414 type-variables in the term.
  7415 
  7416 * Simplifier: automatically reasons about transitivity chains
  7417 involving "trancl" (r^+) and "rtrancl" (r^*) by setting up tactics
  7418 provided by Provers/trancl.ML as additional solvers.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  7419 old proofs break occasionally as simplification may now solve more
  7420 goals than previously.
  7421 
  7422 * Simplifier: converts x <= y into x = y if assumption y <= x is
  7423 present.  Works for all partial orders (class "order"), in particular
  7424 numbers and sets.  For linear orders (e.g. numbers) it treats ~ x < y
  7425 just like y <= x.
  7426 
  7427 * Simplifier: new simproc for "let x = a in f x".  If a is a free or
  7428 bound variable or a constant then the let is unfolded.  Otherwise
  7429 first a is simplified to b, and then f b is simplified to g. If
  7430 possible we abstract b from g arriving at "let x = b in h x",
  7431 otherwise we unfold the let and arrive at g.  The simproc can be
  7432 enabled/disabled by the reference use_let_simproc.  Potential
  7433 INCOMPATIBILITY since simplification is more powerful by default.
  7434 
  7435 * Classical reasoning: the meson method now accepts theorems as arguments.
  7436 
  7437 * Prover support: pre-release of the Isabelle-ATP linkup, which runs background
  7438 jobs to provide advice on the provability of subgoals.
  7439 
  7440 * Theory OrderedGroup and Ring_and_Field: various additions and
  7441 improvements to faciliate calculations involving equalities and
  7442 inequalities.
  7443 
  7444 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7445 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7446 
  7447   abs_eq             now named abs_of_nonneg
  7448   abs_of_ge_0        now named abs_of_nonneg
  7449   abs_minus_eq       now named abs_of_nonpos
  7450   imp_abs_id         now named abs_of_nonneg
  7451   imp_abs_neg_id     now named abs_of_nonpos
  7452   mult_pos           now named mult_pos_pos
  7453   mult_pos_le        now named mult_nonneg_nonneg
  7454   mult_pos_neg_le    now named mult_nonneg_nonpos
  7455   mult_pos_neg2_le   now named mult_nonneg_nonpos2
  7456   mult_neg           now named mult_neg_neg
  7457   mult_neg_le        now named mult_nonpos_nonpos
  7458 
  7459 * The following lemmas in Ring_and_Field have been added to the simplifier:
  7460      
  7461      zero_le_square
  7462      not_square_less_zero 
  7463 
  7464   The following lemmas have been deleted from Real/RealPow:
  7465   
  7466      realpow_zero_zero
  7467      realpow_two
  7468      realpow_less
  7469      zero_le_power
  7470      realpow_two_le
  7471      abs_realpow_two
  7472      realpow_two_abs     
  7473 
  7474 * Theory Parity: added rules for simplifying exponents.
  7475 
  7476 * Theory List:
  7477 
  7478 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7479 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7480 
  7481   list_all_Nil       now named list_all.simps(1)
  7482   list_all_Cons      now named list_all.simps(2)
  7483   list_all_conv      now named list_all_iff
  7484   set_mem_eq         now named mem_iff
  7485 
  7486 * Theories SetsAndFunctions and BigO (see HOL/Library) support
  7487 asymptotic "big O" calculations.  See the notes in BigO.thy.
  7488 
  7489 
  7490 *** HOL-Complex ***
  7491 
  7492 * Theory RealDef: better support for embedding natural numbers and
  7493 integers in the reals.
  7494 
  7495 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7496 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7497 
  7498   exp_ge_add_one_self  now requires no hypotheses
  7499   real_of_int_add      reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7500   real_of_int_minus    reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7501   real_of_int_diff     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7502   real_of_int_mult     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7503 
  7504 * Theory RComplete: expanded support for floor and ceiling functions.
  7505 
  7506 * Theory Ln is new, with properties of the natural logarithm
  7507 
  7508 * Hyperreal: There is a new type constructor "star" for making
  7509 nonstandard types.  The old type names are now type synonyms:
  7510 
  7511   hypreal = real star
  7512   hypnat = nat star
  7513   hcomplex = complex star
  7514 
  7515 * Hyperreal: Many groups of similarly-defined constants have been
  7516 replaced by polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7517 
  7518   star_of <-- hypreal_of_real, hypnat_of_nat, hcomplex_of_complex
  7519 
  7520   starset      <-- starsetNat, starsetC
  7521   *s*          <-- *sNat*, *sc*
  7522   starset_n    <-- starsetNat_n, starsetC_n
  7523   *sn*         <-- *sNatn*, *scn*
  7524   InternalSets <-- InternalNatSets, InternalCSets
  7525 
  7526   starfun      <-- starfun{Nat,Nat2,C,RC,CR}
  7527   *f*          <-- *fNat*, *fNat2*, *fc*, *fRc*, *fcR*
  7528   starfun_n    <-- starfun{Nat,Nat2,C,RC,CR}_n
  7529   *fn*         <-- *fNatn*, *fNat2n*, *fcn*, *fRcn*, *fcRn*
  7530   InternalFuns <-- InternalNatFuns, InternalNatFuns2, Internal{C,RC,CR}Funs
  7531 
  7532 * Hyperreal: Many type-specific theorems have been removed in favor of
  7533 theorems specific to various axiomatic type classes (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7534 
  7535   add_commute <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_commute
  7536   add_assoc   <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_assocs
  7537   OrderedGroup.add_0 <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_zero_left
  7538   OrderedGroup.add_0_right <-- {hypreal,hcomplex}_add_zero_right
  7539   right_minus <-- hypreal_add_minus
  7540   left_minus <-- {hypreal,hcomplex}_add_minus_left
  7541   mult_commute <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_mult_commute
  7542   mult_assoc <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_mult_assoc
  7543   mult_1_left <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_mult_1, hcomplex_mult_one_left
  7544   mult_1_right <-- hcomplex_mult_one_right
  7545   mult_zero_left <-- hcomplex_mult_zero_left
  7546   left_distrib <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_mult_distrib
  7547   right_distrib <-- hypnat_add_mult_distrib2
  7548   zero_neq_one <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_zero_not_eq_one
  7549   right_inverse <-- hypreal_mult_inverse
  7550   left_inverse <-- hypreal_mult_inverse_left, hcomplex_mult_inv_left
  7551   order_refl <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_le_refl
  7552   order_trans <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_le_trans
  7553   order_antisym <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_le_anti_sym
  7554   order_less_le <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_less_le
  7555   linorder_linear <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_le_linear
  7556   add_left_mono <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_add_left_mono
  7557   mult_strict_left_mono <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_mult_less_mono2
  7558   add_nonneg_nonneg <-- hypreal_le_add_order
  7559 
  7560 * Hyperreal: Separate theorems having to do with type-specific
  7561 versions of constants have been merged into theorems that apply to the
  7562 new polymorphic constants (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7563 
  7564   STAR_UNIV_set <-- {STAR_real,NatStar_real,STARC_complex}_set
  7565   STAR_empty_set <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_empty_set
  7566   STAR_Un <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_Un
  7567   STAR_Int <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_Int
  7568   STAR_Compl <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_Compl
  7569   STAR_subset <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_subset
  7570   STAR_mem <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_mem
  7571   STAR_mem_Compl <-- {STAR,STARC}_mem_Compl
  7572   STAR_diff <-- {STAR,STARC}_diff
  7573   STAR_star_of_image_subset <-- {STAR_hypreal_of_real, NatStar_hypreal_of_real,

  7596   starfun_inverse <-- starfun{Nat,C,RC,CR}_inverse

  7651   star_of_eq_0 <-- hcomplex_of_complex_zero_iff
  7652 
  7653 * Hyperreal: new method "transfer" that implements the transfer
  7654 principle of nonstandard analysis. With a subgoal that mentions
  7655 nonstandard types like "'a star", the command "apply transfer"
  7656 replaces it with an equivalent one that mentions only standard types.
  7657 To be successful, all free variables must have standard types; non-
  7658 standard variables must have explicit universal quantifiers.
  7659 
  7660 * Hyperreal: A theory of Taylor series.
  7661 
  7662 
  7663 *** HOLCF ***
  7664 
  7665 * Discontinued special version of 'constdefs' (which used to support
  7666 continuous functions) in favor of the general Pure one with full
  7667 type-inference.
  7668 
  7669 * New simplification procedure for solving continuity conditions; it
  7670 is much faster on terms with many nested lambda abstractions (cubic
  7671 instead of exponential time).
  7672 
  7673 * New syntax for domain package: selector names are now optional.
  7674 Parentheses should be omitted unless argument is lazy, for example:
  7675 
  7676   domain 'a stream = cons "'a" (lazy "'a stream")
  7677 
  7678 * New command 'fixrec' for defining recursive functions with pattern
  7679 matching; defining multiple functions with mutual recursion is also
  7680 supported.  Patterns may include the constants cpair, spair, up, sinl,
  7681 sinr, or any data constructor defined by the domain package. The given
  7682 equations are proven as rewrite rules. See HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  7683 syntax and examples.
  7684 
  7685 * New commands 'cpodef' and 'pcpodef' for defining predicate subtypes
  7686 of cpo and pcpo types. Syntax is exactly like the 'typedef' command,
  7687 but the proof obligation additionally includes an admissibility
  7688 requirement. The packages generate instances of class cpo or pcpo,
  7689 with continuity and strictness theorems for Rep and Abs.
  7690 
  7691 * HOLCF: Many theorems have been renamed according to a more standard naming
  7692 scheme (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7693 
  7694   foo_inject:  "foo$x = foo$y ==> x = y"
  7695   foo_eq:      "(foo$x = foo$y) = (x = y)"
  7696   foo_less:    "(foo$x << foo$y) = (x << y)"
  7697   foo_strict:  "foo$UU = UU"
  7698   foo_defined: "... ==> foo$x ~= UU"
  7699   foo_defined_iff: "(foo$x = UU) = (x = UU)"
  7700 
  7701 
  7702 *** ZF ***
  7703 
  7704 * ZF/ex: theories Group and Ring provide examples in abstract algebra,
  7705 including the First Isomorphism Theorem (on quotienting by the kernel
  7706 of a homomorphism).
  7707 
  7708 * ZF/Simplifier: install second copy of type solver that actually
  7709 makes use of TC rules declared to Isar proof contexts (or locales);
  7710 the old version is still required for ML proof scripts.
  7711 
  7712 
  7713 *** Cube ***
  7714 
  7715 * Converted to Isar theory format; use locales instead of axiomatic
  7716 theories.
  7717 
  7718 
  7719 *** ML ***
  7720 
  7721 * Pure/library.ML: added ##>, ##>>, #>> -- higher-order counterparts
  7722 for ||>, ||>>, |>>,
  7723 
  7724 * Pure/library.ML no longer defines its own option datatype, but uses
  7725 that of the SML basis, which has constructors NONE and SOME instead of
  7726 None and Some, as well as exception Option.Option instead of OPTION.
  7727 The functions the, if_none, is_some, is_none have been adapted
  7728 accordingly, while Option.map replaces apsome.
  7729 
  7730 * Pure/library.ML: the exception LIST has been given up in favour of
  7731 the standard exceptions Empty and Subscript, as well as
  7732 Library.UnequalLengths.  Function like Library.hd and Library.tl are
  7733 superceded by the standard hd and tl functions etc.
  7734 
  7735 A number of basic list functions are no longer exported to the ML
  7736 toplevel, as they are variants of predefined functions.  The following
  7737 suggests how one can translate existing code:
  7738 
  7739     rev_append xs ys = List.revAppend (xs, ys)
  7740     nth_elem (i, xs) = List.nth (xs, i)
  7741     last_elem xs = List.last xs
  7742     flat xss = List.concat xss
  7743     seq fs = List.app fs
  7744     partition P xs = List.partition P xs
  7745     mapfilter f xs = List.mapPartial f xs
  7746 
  7747 * Pure/library.ML: several combinators for linear functional
  7748 transformations, notably reverse application and composition:
  7749 
  7750   x |> f                f #> g
  7751   (x, y) |-> f          f #-> g
  7752 
  7753 * Pure/library.ML: introduced/changed precedence of infix operators:
  7754 
  7755   infix 1 |> |-> ||> ||>> |>> |>>> #> #->;
  7756   infix 2 ?;
  7757   infix 3 o oo ooo oooo;
  7758   infix 4 ~~ upto downto;
  7759 
  7760 Maybe INCOMPATIBILITY when any of those is used in conjunction with other
  7761 infix operators.
  7762 
  7763 * Pure/library.ML: natural list combinators fold, fold_rev, and
  7764 fold_map support linear functional transformations and nesting.  For
  7765 example:
  7766 
  7767   fold f [x1, ..., xN] y =
  7768     y |> f x1 |> ... |> f xN
  7769 
  7770   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] y =
  7771     y |> fold f xs1 |> ... |> fold f xsN
  7772 
  7773   fold f [x1, ..., xN] =
  7774     f x1 #> ... #> f xN
  7775 
  7776   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] =
  7777     fold f xs1 #> ... #> fold f xsN
  7778 
  7779 * Pure/library.ML: the following selectors on type 'a option are
  7780 available:
  7781 
  7782   the:               'a option -> 'a  (*partial*)
  7783   these:             'a option -> 'a  where 'a = 'b list
  7784   the_default: 'a -> 'a option -> 'a
  7785   the_list:          'a option -> 'a list
  7786 
  7787 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  7788 basic operations for association lists, following natural argument
  7789 order; moreover the explicit equality predicate passed here avoids
  7790 potentially expensive polymorphic runtime equality checks.
  7791 The old functions may be expressed as follows:
  7792 
  7793   assoc = uncurry (AList.lookup (op =))
  7794   assocs = these oo AList.lookup (op =)
  7795   overwrite = uncurry (AList.update (op =)) o swap
  7796 
  7797 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  7798 
  7799   val make: ('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> ('a * 'b) list
  7800   val find: ('a * 'b -> bool) -> ('c * 'b) list -> 'a -> 'c list
  7801 
  7802 replacing make_keylist and keyfilter (occassionally used)
  7803 Naive rewrites:
  7804 
  7805   make_keylist = AList.make
  7806   keyfilter = AList.find (op =)
  7807 
  7808 * eq_fst and eq_snd now take explicit equality parameter, thus
  7809   avoiding eqtypes. Naive rewrites:
  7810 
  7811     eq_fst = eq_fst (op =)
  7812     eq_snd = eq_snd (op =)
  7813 
  7814 * Removed deprecated apl and apr (rarely used).
  7815   Naive rewrites:
  7816 
  7817     apl (n, op) =>>= curry op n
  7818     apr (op, m) =>>= fn n => op (n, m)
  7819 
  7820 * Pure/General: structure OrdList (cf. Pure/General/ord_list.ML)
  7821 provides a reasonably efficient light-weight implementation of sets as
  7822 lists.
  7823 
  7824 * Pure/General: generic tables (cf. Pure/General/table.ML) provide a
  7825 few new operations; existing lookup and update are now curried to
  7826 follow natural argument order (for use with fold etc.);
  7827 INCOMPATIBILITY, use (uncurry Symtab.lookup) etc. as last resort.
  7828 
  7829 * Pure/General: output via the Isabelle channels of
  7830 writeln/warning/error etc. is now passed through Output.output, with a
  7831 hook for arbitrary transformations depending on the print_mode
  7832 (cf. Output.add_mode -- the first active mode that provides a output
  7833 function wins).  Already formatted output may be embedded into further
  7834 text via Output.raw; the result of Pretty.string_of/str_of and derived
  7835 functions (string_of_term/cterm/thm etc.) is already marked raw to
  7836 accommodate easy composition of diagnostic messages etc.  Programmers
  7837 rarely need to care about Output.output or Output.raw at all, with
  7838 some notable exceptions: Output.output is required when bypassing the
  7839 standard channels (writeln etc.), or in token translations to produce
  7840 properly formatted results; Output.raw is required when capturing
  7841 already output material that will eventually be presented to the user
  7842 a second time.  For the default print mode, both Output.output and
  7843 Output.raw have no effect.
  7844 
  7845 * Pure/General: Output.time_accumulator NAME creates an operator ('a
  7846 -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'b to measure runtime and count invocations; the
  7847 cumulative results are displayed at the end of a batch session.
  7848 
  7849 * Pure/General: File.sysify_path and File.quote_sysify path have been
  7850 replaced by File.platform_path and File.shell_path (with appropriate
  7851 hooks).  This provides a clean interface for unusual systems where the
  7852 internal and external process view of file names are different.
  7853 
  7854 * Pure: more efficient orders for basic syntactic entities: added
  7855 fast_string_ord, fast_indexname_ord, fast_term_ord; changed sort_ord
  7856 and typ_ord to use fast_string_ord and fast_indexname_ord (term_ord is
  7857 NOT affected); structures Symtab, Vartab, Typtab, Termtab use the fast
  7858 orders now -- potential INCOMPATIBILITY for code that depends on a
  7859 particular order for Symtab.keys, Symtab.dest, etc. (consider using
  7860 Library.sort_strings on result).
  7861 
  7862 * Pure/term.ML: combinators fold_atyps, fold_aterms, fold_term_types,
  7863 fold_types traverse types/terms from left to right, observing natural
  7864 argument order.  Supercedes previous foldl_XXX versions, add_frees,
  7865 add_vars etc. have been adapted as well: INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7866 
  7867 * Pure: name spaces have been refined, with significant changes of the
  7868 internal interfaces -- INCOMPATIBILITY.  Renamed cond_extern(_table)
  7869 to extern(_table).  The plain name entry path is superceded by a
  7870 general 'naming' context, which also includes the 'policy' to produce
  7871 a fully qualified name and external accesses of a fully qualified
  7872 name; NameSpace.extend is superceded by context dependent
  7873 Sign.declare_name.  Several theory and proof context operations modify
  7874 the naming context.  Especially note Theory.restore_naming and
  7875 ProofContext.restore_naming to get back to a sane state; note that
  7876 Theory.add_path is no longer sufficient to recover from
  7877 Theory.absolute_path in particular.
  7878 
  7879 * Pure: new flags short_names (default false) and unique_names
  7880 (default true) for controlling output of qualified names.  If
  7881 short_names is set, names are printed unqualified.  If unique_names is
  7882 reset, the name prefix is reduced to the minimum required to achieve
  7883 the original result when interning again, even if there is an overlap
  7884 with earlier declarations.
  7885 
  7886 * Pure/TheoryDataFun: change of the argument structure; 'prep_ext' is
  7887 now 'extend', and 'merge' gets an additional Pretty.pp argument
  7888 (useful for printing error messages).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7889 
  7890 * Pure: major reorganization of the theory context.  Type Sign.sg and
  7891 Theory.theory are now identified, referring to the universal
  7892 Context.theory (see Pure/context.ML).  Actual signature and theory
  7893 content is managed as theory data.  The old code and interfaces were
  7894 spread over many files and structures; the new arrangement introduces
  7895 considerable INCOMPATIBILITY to gain more clarity:
  7896 
  7897   Context -- theory management operations (name, identity, inclusion,
  7898     parents, ancestors, merge, etc.), plus generic theory data;
  7899 
  7900   Sign -- logical signature and syntax operations (declaring consts,
  7901     types, etc.), plus certify/read for common entities;
  7902 
  7903   Theory -- logical theory operations (stating axioms, definitions,
  7904     oracles), plus a copy of logical signature operations (consts,
  7905     types, etc.); also a few basic management operations (Theory.copy,
  7906     Theory.merge, etc.)
  7907 
  7908 The most basic sign_of operations (Theory.sign_of, Thm.sign_of_thm
  7909 etc.) as well as the sign field in Thm.rep_thm etc. have been retained
  7910 for convenience -- they merely return the theory.
  7911 
  7912 * Pure: type Type.tsig is superceded by theory in most interfaces.
  7913 
  7914 * Pure: the Isar proof context type is already defined early in Pure
  7915 as Context.proof (note that ProofContext.context and Proof.context are
  7916 aliases, where the latter is the preferred name).  This enables other
  7917 Isabelle components to refer to that type even before Isar is present.
  7918 
  7919 * Pure/sign/theory: discontinued named name spaces (i.e. classK,
  7920 typeK, constK, axiomK, oracleK), but provide explicit operations for
  7921 any of these kinds.  For example, Sign.intern typeK is now
  7922 Sign.intern_type, Theory.hide_space Sign.typeK is now
  7923 Theory.hide_types.  Also note that former
  7924 Theory.hide_classes/types/consts are now
  7925 Theory.hide_classes_i/types_i/consts_i, while the non '_i' versions
  7926 internalize their arguments!  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7927 
  7928 * Pure: get_thm interface (of PureThy and ProofContext) expects
  7929 datatype thmref (with constructors Name and NameSelection) instead of
  7930 plain string -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  7931 
  7932 * Pure: cases produced by proof methods specify options, where NONE
  7933 means to remove case bindings -- INCOMPATIBILITY in
  7934 (RAW_)METHOD_CASES.
  7935 
  7936 * Pure: the following operations retrieve axioms or theorems from a
  7937 theory node or theory hierarchy, respectively:
  7938 
  7939   Theory.axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  7940   Theory.all_axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  7941   PureThy.thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  7942   PureThy.all_thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  7943 
  7944 * Pure: print_tac now outputs the goal through the trace channel.
  7945 
  7946 * Isar toplevel: improved diagnostics, mostly for Poly/ML only.
  7947 Reference Toplevel.debug (default false) controls detailed printing
  7948 and tracing of low-level exceptions; Toplevel.profiling (default 0)
  7949 controls execution profiling -- set to 1 for time and 2 for space
  7950 (both increase the runtime).
  7951 
  7952 * Isar session: The initial use of ROOT.ML is now always timed,
  7953 i.e. the log will show the actual process times, in contrast to the
  7954 elapsed wall-clock time that the outer shell wrapper produces.
  7955 
  7956 * Simplifier: improved handling of bound variables (nameless
  7957 representation, avoid allocating new strings).  Simprocs that invoke
  7958 the Simplifier recursively should use Simplifier.inherit_bounds to
  7959 avoid local name clashes.  Failure to do so produces warnings
  7960 "Simplifier: renamed bound variable ..."; set Simplifier.debug_bounds
  7961 for further details.
  7962 
  7963 * ML functions legacy_bindings and use_legacy_bindings produce ML fact
  7964 bindings for all theorems stored within a given theory; this may help
  7965 in porting non-Isar theories to Isar ones, while keeping ML proof
  7966 scripts for the time being.
  7967 
  7968 * ML operator HTML.with_charset specifies the charset begin used for
  7969 generated HTML files.  For example:
  7970 
  7971   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Hebrew";
  7972   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Chinese";
  7973 
  7974 
  7975 *** System ***
  7976 
  7977 * Allow symlinks to all proper Isabelle executables (Isabelle,
  7978 isabelle, isatool etc.).
  7979 
  7980 * ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT setting specifies preferred document format (for
  7981 isatool doc, isatool mkdir, display_drafts etc.).
  7982 
  7983 * isatool usedir: option -f allows specification of the ML file to be
  7984 used by Isabelle; default is ROOT.ML.
  7985 
  7986 * New isatool version outputs the version identifier of the Isabelle
  7987 distribution being used.
  7988 
  7989 * HOL: new isatool dimacs2hol converts files in DIMACS CNF format
  7990 (containing Boolean satisfiability problems) into Isabelle/HOL
  7991 theories.
  7992 
  7993 
  7994 
  7995 New in Isabelle2004 (April 2004)
  7996 --------------------------------
  7997 
  7998 *** General ***
  7999 
  8000 * Provers/order.ML:  new efficient reasoner for partial and linear orders.
  8001   Replaces linorder.ML.
  8002 
  8003 * Pure: Greek letters (except small lambda, \<lambda>), as well as Gothic
  8004   (\<aa>...\<zz>\<AA>...\<ZZ>), calligraphic (\<A>...\<Z>), and Euler
  8005   (\<a>...\<z>), are now considered normal letters, and can therefore
  8006   be used anywhere where an ASCII letter (a...zA...Z) has until
  8007   now. COMPATIBILITY: This obviously changes the parsing of some
  8008   terms, especially where a symbol has been used as a binder, say
  8009   '\<Pi>x. ...', which is now a type error since \<Pi>x will be parsed
  8010   as an identifier.  Fix it by inserting a space around former
  8011   symbols.  Call 'isatool fixgreek' to try to fix parsing errors in
  8012   existing theory and ML files.
  8013 
  8014 * Pure: Macintosh and Windows line-breaks are now allowed in theory files.
  8015 
  8016 * Pure: single letter sub/superscripts (\<^isub> and \<^isup>) are now
  8017   allowed in identifiers. Similar to Greek letters \<^isub> is now considered
  8018   a normal (but invisible) letter. For multiple letter subscripts repeat
  8019   \<^isub> like this: x\<^isub>1\<^isub>2.
  8020 
  8021 * Pure: There are now sub-/superscripts that can span more than one
  8022   character. Text between \<^bsub> and \<^esub> is set in subscript in
  8023   ProofGeneral and LaTeX, text between \<^bsup> and \<^esup> in
  8024   superscript. The new control characters are not identifier parts.
  8025 
  8026 * Pure: Control-symbols of the form \<^raw:...> will literally print the
  8027   content of "..." to the latex file instead of \isacntrl... . The "..."
  8028   may consist of any printable characters excluding the end bracket >.
  8029 
  8030 * Pure: Using new Isar command "finalconsts" (or the ML functions
  8031   Theory.add_finals or Theory.add_finals_i) it is now possible to
  8032   declare constants "final", which prevents their being given a definition
  8033   later.  It is useful for constants whose behaviour is fixed axiomatically
  8034   rather than definitionally, such as the meta-logic connectives.
  8035 
  8036 * Pure: 'instance' now handles general arities with general sorts
  8037   (i.e. intersections of classes),
  8038 
  8039 * Presentation: generated HTML now uses a CSS style sheet to make layout
  8040   (somewhat) independent of content. It is copied from lib/html/isabelle.css.
  8041   It can be changed to alter the colors/layout of generated pages.
  8042 
  8043 
  8044 *** Isar ***
  8045 
  8046 * Tactic emulation methods rule_tac, erule_tac, drule_tac, frule_tac,
  8047   cut_tac, subgoal_tac and thin_tac:
  8048   - Now understand static (Isar) contexts.  As a consequence, users of Isar
  8049     locales are no longer forced to write Isar proof scripts.
  8050     For details see Isar Reference Manual, paragraph 4.3.2: Further tactic
  8051     emulations.
  8052   - INCOMPATIBILITY: names of variables to be instantiated may no
  8053     longer be enclosed in quotes.  Instead, precede variable name with `?'.
  8054     This is consistent with the instantiation attribute "where".
  8055 
  8056 * Attributes "where" and "of":
  8057   - Now take type variables of instantiated theorem into account when reading
  8058     the instantiation string.  This fixes a bug that caused instantiated
  8059     theorems to have too special types in some circumstances.
  8060   - "where" permits explicit instantiations of type variables.
  8061 
  8062 * Calculation commands "moreover" and "also" no longer interfere with
  8063   current facts ("this"), admitting arbitrary combinations with "then"
  8064   and derived forms.
  8065 
  8066 * Locales:
  8067   - Goal statements involving the context element "includes" no longer
  8068     generate theorems with internal delta predicates (those ending on
  8069     "_axioms") in the premise.
  8070     Resolve particular premise with <locale>.intro to obtain old form.
  8071   - Fixed bug in type inference ("unify_frozen") that prevented mix of target
  8072     specification and "includes" elements in goal statement.
  8073   - Rule sets <locale>.intro and <locale>.axioms no longer declared as
  8074     [intro?] and [elim?] (respectively) by default.
  8075   - Experimental command for instantiation of locales in proof contexts:
  8076         instantiate <label>[<attrs>]: <loc>
  8077     Instantiates locale <loc> and adds all its theorems to the current context
  8078     taking into account their attributes.  Label and attrs are optional
  8079     modifiers, like in theorem declarations.  If present, names of
  8080     instantiated theorems are qualified with <label>, and the attributes
  8081     <attrs> are applied after any attributes these theorems might have already.
  8082       If the locale has assumptions, a chained fact of the form
  8083     "<loc> t1 ... tn" is expected from which instantiations of the parameters
  8084     are derived.  The command does not support old-style locales declared
  8085     with "locale (open)".
  8086       A few (very simple) examples can be found in FOL/ex/LocaleInst.thy.
  8087 
  8088 * HOL: Tactic emulation methods induct_tac and case_tac understand static
  8089   (Isar) contexts.
  8090 
  8091 
  8092 *** HOL ***
  8093 
  8094 * Proof import: new image HOL4 contains the imported library from
  8095   the HOL4 system with about 2500 theorems. It is imported by
  8096   replaying proof terms produced by HOL4 in Isabelle. The HOL4 image
  8097   can be used like any other Isabelle image.  See
  8098   HOL/Import/HOL/README for more information.
  8099 
  8100 * Simplifier:
  8101   - Much improved handling of linear and partial orders.
  8102     Reasoners for linear and partial orders are set up for type classes
  8103     "linorder" and "order" respectively, and are added to the default simpset
  8104     as solvers.  This means that the simplifier can build transitivity chains
  8105     to solve goals from the assumptions.
  8106   - INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break occasionally.  Typically, applications
  8107     of blast or auto after simplification become unnecessary because the goal
  8108     is solved by simplification already.
  8109 
  8110 * Numerics: new theory Ring_and_Field contains over 250 basic numerical laws,
  8111     all proved in axiomatic type classes for semirings, rings and fields.
  8112 
  8113 * Numerics:
  8114   - Numeric types (nat, int, and in HOL-Complex rat, real, complex, etc.) are
  8115     now formalized using the Ring_and_Field theory mentioned above.
  8116   - INCOMPATIBILITY: simplification and arithmetic behaves somewhat differently
  8117     than before, because now they are set up once in a generic manner.
  8118   - INCOMPATIBILITY: many type-specific arithmetic laws have gone.
  8119     Look for the general versions in Ring_and_Field (and Power if they concern
  8120     exponentiation).
  8121 
  8122 * Type "rat" of the rational numbers is now available in HOL-Complex.
  8123 
  8124 * Records:
  8125   - Record types are now by default printed with their type abbreviation
  8126     instead of the list of all field types. This can be configured via
  8127     the reference "print_record_type_abbr".
  8128   - Simproc "record_upd_simproc" for simplification of multiple updates added
  8129     (not enabled by default).
  8130   - Simproc "record_ex_sel_eq_simproc" to simplify EX x. sel r = x resp.
  8131     EX x. x = sel r to True (not enabled by default).
  8132   - Tactic "record_split_simp_tac" to split and simplify records added.
  8133 
  8134 * 'specification' command added, allowing for definition by
  8135   specification.  There is also an 'ax_specification' command that
  8136   introduces the new constants axiomatically.
  8137 
  8138 * arith(_tac) is now able to generate counterexamples for reals as well.
  8139 
  8140 * HOL-Algebra: new locale "ring" for non-commutative rings.
  8141 
  8142 * HOL-ex: InductiveInvariant_examples illustrates advanced recursive function
  8143   definitions, thanks to Sava Krsti\'{c} and John Matthews.
  8144 
  8145 * HOL-Matrix: a first theory for matrices in HOL with an application of
  8146   matrix theory to linear programming.
  8147 
  8148 * Unions and Intersections:
  8149   The latex output syntax of UN and INT has been changed
  8150   from "\Union x \in A. B" to "\Union_{x \in A} B"
  8151   i.e. the index formulae has become a subscript.
  8152   Similarly for "\Union x. B", and for \Inter instead of \Union.
  8153 
  8154 * Unions and Intersections over Intervals:
  8155   There is new short syntax "UN i<=n. A" for "UN i:{0..n}. A". There is
  8156   also an x-symbol version with subscripts "\<Union>\<^bsub>i <= n\<^esub>. A"
  8157   like in normal math, and corresponding versions for < and for intersection.
  8158 
  8159 * HOL/List: Ordering "lexico" is renamed "lenlex" and the standard
  8160   lexicographic dictonary ordering has been added as "lexord".
  8161 
  8162 * ML: the legacy theory structures Int and List have been removed. They had
  8163   conflicted with ML Basis Library structures having the same names.
  8164 
  8165 * 'refute' command added to search for (finite) countermodels.  Only works
  8166   for a fragment of HOL.  The installation of an external SAT solver is
  8167   highly recommended.  See "HOL/Refute.thy" for details.
  8168 
  8169 * 'quickcheck' command: Allows to find counterexamples by evaluating
  8170   formulae under an assignment of free variables to random values.
  8171   In contrast to 'refute', it can deal with inductive datatypes,
  8172   but cannot handle quantifiers. See "HOL/ex/Quickcheck_Examples.thy"
  8173   for examples.
  8174 
  8175 
  8176 *** HOLCF ***
  8177 
  8178 * Streams now come with concatenation and are part of the HOLCF image
  8179 
  8180 
  8181 
  8182 New in Isabelle2003 (May 2003)
  8183 ------------------------------
  8184 
  8185 *** General ***
  8186 
  8187 * Provers/simplifier:
  8188 
  8189   - Completely reimplemented method simp (ML: Asm_full_simp_tac):
  8190     Assumptions are now subject to complete mutual simplification,
  8191     not just from left to right. The simplifier now preserves
  8192     the order of assumptions.
  8193 
  8194     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  8195 
  8196     -- simp sometimes diverges where the old version did
  8197        not, e.g. invoking simp on the goal
  8198 
  8199         [| P (f x); y = x; f x = f y |] ==> Q
  8200 
  8201        now gives rise to the infinite reduction sequence
  8202 
  8203         P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> P(f y) --(y = x)--> P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> ...
  8204 
  8205        Using "simp (asm_lr)" (ML: Asm_lr_simp_tac) instead often solves this
  8206        kind of problem.
  8207 
  8208     -- Tactics combining classical reasoner and simplification (such as auto)
  8209        are also affected by this change, because many of them rely on
  8210        simp. They may sometimes diverge as well or yield a different numbers
  8211        of subgoals. Try to use e.g. force, fastsimp, or safe instead of auto
  8212        in case of problems. Sometimes subsequent calls to the classical
  8213        reasoner will fail because a preceeding call to the simplifier too
  8214        eagerly simplified the goal, e.g. deleted redundant premises.
  8215 
  8216   - The simplifier trace now shows the names of the applied rewrite rules
  8217 
  8218   - You can limit the number of recursive invocations of the simplifier
  8219     during conditional rewriting (where the simplifie tries to solve the
  8220     conditions before applying the rewrite rule):
  8221     ML "simp_depth_limit := n"
  8222     where n is an integer. Thus you can force termination where previously
  8223     the simplifier would diverge.
  8224 
  8225   - Accepts free variables as head terms in congruence rules.  Useful in Isar.
  8226 
  8227   - No longer aborts on failed congruence proof.  Instead, the
  8228     congruence is ignored.
  8229 
  8230 * Pure: New generic framework for extracting programs from constructive
  8231   proofs. See HOL/Extraction.thy for an example instantiation, as well
  8232   as HOL/Extraction for some case studies.
  8233 
  8234 * Pure: The main goal of the proof state is no longer shown by default, only
  8235 the subgoals. This behaviour is controlled by a new flag.
  8236    PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Settings -> Show Main Goal
  8237 (ML: Proof.show_main_goal).
  8238 
  8239 * Pure: You can find all matching introduction rules for subgoal 1, i.e. all
  8240 rules whose conclusion matches subgoal 1:
  8241       PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Show me -> matching rules
  8242 The rules are ordered by how closely they match the subgoal.
  8243 In particular, rules that solve a subgoal outright are displayed first
  8244 (or rather last, the way they are printed).
  8245 (ML: ProofGeneral.print_intros())
  8246 
  8247 * Pure: New flag trace_unify_fail causes unification to print
  8248 diagnostic information (PG: in trace buffer) when it fails. This is
  8249 useful for figuring out why single step proofs like rule, erule or
  8250 assumption failed.
  8251 
  8252 * Pure: Locale specifications now produce predicate definitions
  8253 according to the body of text (covering assumptions modulo local
  8254 definitions); predicate "loc_axioms" covers newly introduced text,
  8255 while "loc" is cumulative wrt. all included locale expressions; the
  8256 latter view is presented only on export into the global theory
  8257 context; potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use "(open)" option to fall back
  8258 on the old view without predicates;
  8259 
  8260 * Pure: predefined locales "var" and "struct" are useful for sharing
  8261 parameters (as in CASL, for example); just specify something like
  8262 ``var x + var y + struct M'' as import;
  8263 
  8264 * Pure: improved thms_containing: proper indexing of facts instead of
  8265 raw theorems; check validity of results wrt. current name space;
  8266 include local facts of proof configuration (also covers active
  8267 locales), cover fixed variables in index; may use "_" in term
  8268 specification; an optional limit for the number of printed facts may
  8269 be given (the default is 40);
  8270 
  8271 * Pure: disallow duplicate fact bindings within new-style theory files
  8272 (batch-mode only);
  8273 
  8274 * Provers: improved induct method: assumptions introduced by case
  8275 "foo" are split into "foo.hyps" (from the rule) and "foo.prems" (from
  8276 the goal statement); "foo" still refers to all facts collectively;
  8277 
  8278 * Provers: the function blast.overloaded has been removed: all constants
  8279 are regarded as potentially overloaded, which improves robustness in exchange
  8280 for slight decrease in efficiency;
  8281 
  8282 * Provers/linorder: New generic prover for transitivity reasoning over
  8283 linear orders.  Note: this prover is not efficient!
  8284 
  8285 * Isar: preview of problems to finish 'show' now produce an error
  8286 rather than just a warning (in interactive mode);
  8287 
  8288 
  8289 *** HOL ***
  8290 
  8291 * arith(_tac)
  8292 
  8293  - Produces a counter example if it cannot prove a goal.
  8294    Note that the counter example may be spurious if the goal is not a formula
  8295    of quantifier-free linear arithmetic.
  8296    In ProofGeneral the counter example appears in the trace buffer.
  8297 
  8298  - Knows about div k and mod k where k is a numeral of type nat or int.
  8299 
  8300  - Calls full Presburger arithmetic (by Amine Chaieb) if quantifier-free
  8301    linear arithmetic fails. This takes account of quantifiers and divisibility.
  8302    Presburger arithmetic can also be called explicitly via presburger(_tac).
  8303 
  8304 * simp's arithmetic capabilities have been enhanced a bit: it now
  8305 takes ~= in premises into account (by performing a case split);
  8306 
  8307 * simp reduces "m*(n div m) + n mod m" to n, even if the two summands
  8308 are distributed over a sum of terms;
  8309 
  8310 * New tactic "trans_tac" and method "trans" instantiate
  8311 Provers/linorder.ML for axclasses "order" and "linorder" (predicates
  8312 "<=", "<" and "=").
  8313 
  8314 * function INCOMPATIBILITIES: Pi-sets have been redefined and moved from main
  8315 HOL to Library/FuncSet; constant "Fun.op o" is now called "Fun.comp";
  8316 
  8317 * 'typedef' command has new option "open" to suppress the set
  8318 definition;
  8319 
  8320 * functions Min and Max on finite sets have been introduced (theory
  8321 Finite_Set);
  8322 
  8323 * attribute [symmetric] now works for relations as well; it turns
  8324 (x,y) : R^-1 into (y,x) : R, and vice versa;
  8325 
  8326 * induct over a !!-quantified statement (say !!x1..xn):
  8327   each "case" automatically performs "fix x1 .. xn" with exactly those names.
  8328 
  8329 * Map: `empty' is no longer a constant but a syntactic abbreviation for
  8330 %x. None. Warning: empty_def now refers to the previously hidden definition
  8331 of the empty set.
  8332 
  8333 * Algebra: formalization of classical algebra.  Intended as base for
  8334 any algebraic development in Isabelle.  Currently covers group theory
  8335 (up to Sylow's theorem) and ring theory (Universal Property of
  8336 Univariate Polynomials).  Contributions welcome;
  8337 
  8338 * GroupTheory: deleted, since its material has been moved to Algebra;
  8339 
  8340 * Complex: new directory of the complex numbers with numeric constants,
  8341 nonstandard complex numbers, and some complex analysis, standard and
  8342 nonstandard (Jacques Fleuriot);
  8343 
  8344 * HOL-Complex: new image for analysis, replacing HOL-Real and HOL-Hyperreal;
  8345 
  8346 * Hyperreal: introduced Gauge integration and hyperreal logarithms (Jacques
  8347 Fleuriot);
  8348 
  8349 * Real/HahnBanach: updated and adapted to locales;
  8350 
  8351 * NumberTheory: added Gauss's law of quadratic reciprocity (by Avigad,
  8352 Gray and Kramer);
  8353 
  8354 * UNITY: added the Meier-Sanders theory of progress sets;
  8355 
  8356 * MicroJava: bytecode verifier and lightweight bytecode verifier
  8357 as abstract algorithms, instantiated to the JVM;
  8358 
  8359 * Bali: Java source language formalization. Type system, operational
  8360 semantics, axiomatic semantics. Supported language features:
  8361 classes, interfaces, objects,virtual methods, static methods,
  8362 static/instance fields, arrays, access modifiers, definite
  8363 assignment, exceptions.
  8364 
  8365 
  8366 *** ZF ***
  8367 
  8368 * ZF/Constructible: consistency proof for AC (Gdel's constructible
  8369 universe, etc.);
  8370 
  8371 * Main ZF: virtually all theories converted to new-style format;
  8372 
  8373 
  8374 *** ML ***
  8375 
  8376 * Pure: Tactic.prove provides sane interface for internal proofs;
  8377 omits the infamous "standard" operation, so this is more appropriate
  8378 than prove_goalw_cterm in many situations (e.g. in simprocs);
  8379 
  8380 * Pure: improved error reporting of simprocs;
  8381 
  8382 * Provers: Simplifier.simproc(_i) provides sane interface for setting
  8383 up simprocs;
  8384 
  8385 
  8386 *** Document preparation ***
  8387 
  8388 * uses \par instead of \\ for line breaks in theory text. This may
  8389 shift some page breaks in large documents. To get the old behaviour
  8390 use \renewcommand{\isanewline}{\mbox{}\\\mbox{}} in root.tex.
  8391 
  8392 * minimized dependencies of isabelle.sty and isabellesym.sty on
  8393 other packages
  8394 
  8395 * \<euro> now needs package babel/greek instead of marvosym (which
  8396 broke \Rightarrow)
  8397 
  8398 * normal size for \<zero>...\<nine> (uses \mathbf instead of
  8399 textcomp package)
  8400 
  8401 
  8402 
  8403 New in Isabelle2002 (March 2002)
  8404 --------------------------------
  8405 
  8406 *** Document preparation ***
  8407 
  8408 * greatly simplified document preparation setup, including more
  8409 graceful interpretation of isatool usedir -i/-d/-D options, and more
  8410 instructive isatool mkdir; users should basically be able to get
  8411 started with "isatool mkdir HOL Test && isatool make"; alternatively,
  8412 users may run a separate document processing stage manually like this:
  8413 "isatool usedir -D output HOL Test && isatool document Test/output";
  8414 
  8415 * theory dependency graph may now be incorporated into documents;
  8416 isatool usedir -g true will produce session_graph.eps/.pdf for use
  8417 with \includegraphics of LaTeX;
  8418 
  8419 * proper spacing of consecutive markup elements, especially text
  8420 blocks after section headings;
  8421 
  8422 * support bold style (for single symbols only), input syntax is like
  8423 this: "\<^bold>\<alpha>" or "\<^bold>A";
  8424 
  8425 * \<bullet> is now output as bold \cdot by default, which looks much
  8426 better in printed text;
  8427 
  8428 * added default LaTeX bindings for \<tturnstile> and \<TTurnstile>;
  8429 note that these symbols are currently unavailable in Proof General /
  8430 X-Symbol; new symbols \<zero>, \<one>, ..., \<nine>, and \<euro>;
  8431 
  8432 * isatool latex no longer depends on changed TEXINPUTS, instead
  8433 isatool document copies the Isabelle style files to the target
  8434 location;
  8435 
  8436 
  8437 *** Isar ***
  8438 
  8439 * Pure/Provers: improved proof by cases and induction;
  8440   - 'case' command admits impromptu naming of parameters (such as
  8441     "case (Suc n)");
  8442   - 'induct' method divinates rule instantiation from the inductive
  8443     claim; no longer requires excessive ?P bindings for proper
  8444     instantiation of cases;
  8445   - 'induct' method properly enumerates all possibilities of set/type
  8446     rules; as a consequence facts may be also passed through *type*
  8447     rules without further ado;
  8448   - 'induct' method now derives symbolic cases from the *rulified*
  8449     rule (before it used to rulify cases stemming from the internal
  8450     atomized version); this means that the context of a non-atomic
  8451     statement becomes is included in the hypothesis, avoiding the
  8452     slightly cumbersome show "PROP ?case" form;
  8453   - 'induct' may now use elim-style induction rules without chaining
  8454     facts, using ``missing'' premises from the goal state; this allows
  8455     rules stemming from inductive sets to be applied in unstructured
  8456     scripts, while still benefitting from proper handling of non-atomic
  8457     statements; NB: major inductive premises need to be put first, all
  8458     the rest of the goal is passed through the induction;
  8459   - 'induct' proper support for mutual induction involving non-atomic
  8460     rule statements (uses the new concept of simultaneous goals, see
  8461     below);
  8462   - append all possible rule selections, but only use the first
  8463     success (no backtracking);
  8464   - removed obsolete "(simplified)" and "(stripped)" options of methods;
  8465   - undeclared rule case names default to numbers 1, 2, 3, ...;
  8466   - added 'print_induct_rules' (covered by help item in recent Proof
  8467     General versions);
  8468   - moved induct/cases attributes to Pure, methods to Provers;
  8469   - generic method setup instantiated for FOL and HOL;
  8470 
  8471 * Pure: support multiple simultaneous goal statements, for example
  8472 "have a: A and b: B" (same for 'theorem' etc.); being a pure
  8473 meta-level mechanism, this acts as if several individual goals had
  8474 been stated separately; in particular common proof methods need to be
  8475 repeated in order to cover all claims; note that a single elimination
  8476 step is *not* sufficient to establish the two conjunctions, so this
  8477 fails:
  8478 
  8479   assume "A & B" then have A and B ..   (*".." fails*)
  8480 
  8481 better use "obtain" in situations as above; alternative refer to
  8482 multi-step methods like 'auto', 'simp_all', 'blast+' etc.;
  8483 
  8484 * Pure: proper integration with ``locales''; unlike the original
  8485 version by Florian Kammller, Isar locales package high-level proof
  8486 contexts rather than raw logical ones (e.g. we admit to include
  8487 attributes everywhere); operations on locales include merge and
  8488 rename; support for implicit arguments (``structures''); simultaneous
  8489 type-inference over imports and text; see also HOL/ex/Locales.thy for
  8490 some examples;
  8491 
  8492 * Pure: the following commands have been ``localized'', supporting a
  8493 target locale specification "(in name)": 'lemma', 'theorem',
  8494 'corollary', 'lemmas', 'theorems', 'declare'; the results will be
  8495 stored both within the locale and at the theory level (exported and
  8496 qualified by the locale name);
  8497 
  8498 * Pure: theory goals may now be specified in ``long'' form, with
  8499 ad-hoc contexts consisting of arbitrary locale elements. for example
  8500 ``lemma foo: fixes x assumes "A x" shows "B x"'' (local syntax and
  8501 definitions may be given, too); the result is a meta-level rule with
  8502 the context elements being discharged in the obvious way;
  8503 
  8504 * Pure: new proof command 'using' allows to augment currently used
  8505 facts after a goal statement ('using' is syntactically analogous to
  8506 'apply', but acts on the goal's facts only); this allows chained facts
  8507 to be separated into parts given before and after a claim, as in
  8508 ``from a and b have C using d and e <proof>'';
  8509 
  8510 * Pure: renamed "antecedent" case to "rule_context";
  8511 
  8512 * Pure: new 'judgment' command records explicit information about the
  8513 object-logic embedding (used by several tools internally); no longer
  8514 use hard-wired "Trueprop";
  8515 
  8516 * Pure: added 'corollary' command;
  8517 
  8518 * Pure: fixed 'token_translation' command;
  8519 
  8520 * Pure: removed obsolete 'exported' attribute;
  8521 
  8522 * Pure: dummy pattern "_" in is/let is now automatically lifted over
  8523 bound variables: "ALL x. P x --> Q x" (is "ALL x. _ --> ?C x")
  8524 supersedes more cumbersome ... (is "ALL x. _ x --> ?C x");
  8525 
  8526 * Pure: method 'atomize' presents local goal premises as object-level
  8527 statements (atomic meta-level propositions); setup controlled via
  8528 rewrite rules declarations of 'atomize' attribute; example
  8529 application: 'induct' method with proper rule statements in improper
  8530 proof *scripts*;
  8531 
  8532 * Pure: emulation of instantiation tactics (rule_tac, cut_tac, etc.)
  8533 now consider the syntactic context of assumptions, giving a better
  8534 chance to get type-inference of the arguments right (this is
  8535 especially important for locales);
  8536 
  8537 * Pure: "sorry" no longer requires quick_and_dirty in interactive
  8538 mode;
  8539 
  8540 * Pure/obtain: the formal conclusion "thesis", being marked as
  8541 ``internal'', may no longer be reference directly in the text;
  8542 potential INCOMPATIBILITY, may need to use "?thesis" in rare
  8543 situations;
  8544 
  8545 * Pure: generic 'sym' attribute which declares a rule both as pure
  8546 'elim?' and for the 'symmetric' operation;
  8547 
  8548 * Pure: marginal comments ``--'' may now occur just anywhere in the
  8549 text; the fixed correlation with particular command syntax has been
  8550 discontinued;
  8551 
  8552 * Pure: new method 'rules' is particularly well-suited for proof
  8553 search in intuitionistic logic; a bit slower than 'blast' or 'fast',
  8554 but often produces more compact proof terms with less detours;
  8555 
  8556 * Pure/Provers/classical: simplified integration with pure rule
  8557 attributes and methods; the classical "intro?/elim?/dest?"
  8558 declarations coincide with the pure ones; the "rule" method no longer
  8559 includes classically swapped intros; "intro" and "elim" methods no
  8560 longer pick rules from the context; also got rid of ML declarations
  8561 AddXIs/AddXEs/AddXDs; all of this has some potential for
  8562 INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8563 
  8564 * Provers/classical: attribute 'swapped' produces classical inversions
  8565 of introduction rules;
  8566 
  8567 * Provers/simplifier: 'simplified' attribute may refer to explicit
  8568 rules instead of full simplifier context; 'iff' attribute handles
  8569 conditional rules;
  8570 
  8571 * HOL: 'typedef' now allows alternative names for Rep/Abs morphisms;
  8572 
  8573 * HOL: 'recdef' now fails on unfinished automated proofs, use
  8574 "(permissive)" option to recover old behavior;
  8575 
  8576 * HOL: 'inductive' no longer features separate (collective) attributes
  8577 for 'intros' (was found too confusing);
  8578 
  8579 * HOL: properly declared induction rules less_induct and
  8580 wf_induct_rule;
  8581 
  8582 
  8583 *** HOL ***
  8584 
  8585 * HOL: moved over to sane numeral syntax; the new policy is as
  8586 follows:
  8587 
  8588   - 0 and 1 are polymorphic constants, which are defined on any
  8589   numeric type (nat, int, real etc.);
  8590 
  8591   - 2, 3, 4, ... and -1, -2, -3, ... are polymorphic numerals, based
  8592   binary representation internally;
  8593 
  8594   - type nat has special constructor Suc, and generally prefers Suc 0
  8595   over 1::nat and Suc (Suc 0) over 2::nat;
  8596 
  8597 This change may cause significant problems of INCOMPATIBILITY; here
  8598 are some hints on converting existing sources:
  8599 
  8600   - due to the new "num" token, "-0" and "-1" etc. are now atomic
  8601   entities, so expressions involving "-" (unary or binary minus) need
  8602   to be spaced properly;
  8603 
  8604   - existing occurrences of "1" may need to be constraint "1::nat" or
  8605   even replaced by Suc 0; similar for old "2";
  8606 
  8607   - replace "#nnn" by "nnn", and "#-nnn" by "-nnn";
  8608 
  8609   - remove all special provisions on numerals in proofs;
  8610 
  8611 * HOL: simp rules nat_number expand numerals on nat to Suc/0
  8612 representation (depends on bin_arith_simps in the default context);
  8613 
  8614 * HOL: symbolic syntax for x^2 (numeral 2);
  8615 
  8616 * HOL: the class of all HOL types is now called "type" rather than
  8617 "term"; INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt references to this type class
  8618 in axclass/classes, instance/arities, and (usually rare) occurrences
  8619 in typings (of consts etc.); internally the class is called
  8620 "HOL.type", ML programs should refer to HOLogic.typeS;
  8621 
  8622 * HOL/record package improvements:
  8623   - new derived operations "fields" to build a partial record section,
  8624     "extend" to promote a fixed record to a record scheme, and
  8625     "truncate" for the reverse; cf. theorems "xxx.defs", which are *not*
  8626     declared as simp by default;
  8627   - shared operations ("more", "fields", etc.) now need to be always
  8628     qualified) --- potential INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8629   - removed "make_scheme" operations (use "make" with "extend") --
  8630     INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8631   - removed "more" class (simply use "term") -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8632   - provides cases/induct rules for use with corresponding Isar
  8633     methods (for concrete records, record schemes, concrete more
  8634     parts, and schematic more parts -- in that order);
  8635   - internal definitions directly based on a light-weight abstract
  8636     theory of product types over typedef rather than datatype;
  8637 
  8638 * HOL: generic code generator for generating executable ML code from
  8639 specifications; specific support for HOL constructs such as inductive
  8640 datatypes and sets, as well as recursive functions; can be invoked
  8641 via 'generate_code' theory section;
  8642 
  8643 * HOL: canonical cases/induct rules for n-tuples (n = 3..7);
  8644 
  8645 * HOL: consolidated and renamed several theories.  In particular:
  8646         Ord.thy has been absorbed into HOL.thy
  8647         String.thy has been absorbed into List.thy
  8648 
  8649 * HOL: concrete setsum syntax "\<Sum>i:A. b" == "setsum (%i. b) A"
  8650 (beware of argument permutation!);
  8651 
  8652 * HOL: linorder_less_split superseded by linorder_cases;
  8653 
  8654 * HOL/List: "nodups" renamed to "distinct";
  8655 
  8656 * HOL: added "The" definite description operator; move Hilbert's "Eps"
  8657 to peripheral theory "Hilbert_Choice"; some INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  8658   - Ex_def has changed, now need to use some_eq_ex
  8659 
  8660 * HOL: made split_all_tac safe; EXISTING PROOFS MAY FAIL OR LOOP, so
  8661 in this (rare) case use:
  8662 
  8663   delSWrapper "split_all_tac"
  8664   addSbefore ("unsafe_split_all_tac", unsafe_split_all_tac)
  8665 
  8666 * HOL: added safe wrapper "split_conv_tac" to claset; EXISTING PROOFS
  8667 MAY FAIL;
  8668 
  8669 * HOL: introduced f^n = f o ... o f; warning: due to the limits of
  8670 Isabelle's type classes, ^ on functions and relations has too general
  8671 a domain, namely ('a * 'b) set and 'a => 'b; this means that it may be
  8672 necessary to attach explicit type constraints;
  8673 
  8674 * HOL/Relation: the prefix name of the infix "O" has been changed from
  8675 "comp" to "rel_comp"; INCOMPATIBILITY: a few theorems have been
  8676 renamed accordingly (eg "compI" -> "rel_compI").
  8677 
  8678 * HOL: syntax translations now work properly with numerals and records
  8679 expressions;
  8680 
  8681 * HOL: bounded abstraction now uses syntax "%" / "\<lambda>" instead
  8682 of "lam" -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8683 
  8684 * HOL: got rid of some global declarations (potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  8685 for ML tools): const "()" renamed "Product_Type.Unity", type "unit"
  8686 renamed "Product_Type.unit";
  8687 
  8688 * HOL: renamed rtrancl_into_rtrancl2 to converse_rtrancl_into_rtrancl
  8689 
  8690 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem "optionE" (use "option.exhaust", or
  8691 the "cases" method);
  8692 
  8693 * HOL/GroupTheory: group theory examples including Sylow's theorem (by
  8694 Florian Kammller);
  8695 
  8696 * HOL/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory format; several
  8697 parts turned into readable document, with proper Isar proof texts and
  8698 some explanations (by Gerwin Klein);
  8699 
  8700 * HOL-Real: added Complex_Numbers (by Gertrud Bauer);
  8701 
  8702 * HOL-Hyperreal is now a logic image;
  8703 
  8704 
  8705 *** HOLCF ***
  8706 
  8707 * Isar: consts/constdefs supports mixfix syntax for continuous
  8708 operations;
  8709 
  8710 * Isar: domain package adapted to new-style theory format, e.g. see
  8711 HOLCF/ex/Dnat.thy;
  8712 
  8713 * theory Lift: proper use of rep_datatype lift instead of ML hacks --
  8714 potential INCOMPATIBILITY; now use plain induct_tac instead of former
  8715 lift.induct_tac, always use UU instead of Undef;
  8716 
  8717 * HOLCF/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory;
  8718 
  8719 
  8720 *** ZF ***
  8721 
  8722 * Isar: proper integration of logic-specific tools and packages,
  8723 including theory commands '(co)inductive', '(co)datatype',
  8724 'rep_datatype', 'inductive_cases', as well as methods 'ind_cases',
  8725 'induct_tac', 'case_tac', and 'typecheck' (with attribute 'TC');
  8726 
  8727 * theory Main no longer includes AC; for the Axiom of Choice, base
  8728 your theory on Main_ZFC;
  8729 
  8730 * the integer library now covers quotients and remainders, with many
  8731 laws relating division to addition, multiplication, etc.;
  8732 
  8733 * ZF/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY is now available in ZF, giving a
  8734 typeless version of the formalism;
  8735 
  8736 * ZF/AC, Coind, IMP, Resid: updated and converted to new-style theory
  8737 format;
  8738 
  8739 * ZF/Induct: new directory for examples of inductive definitions,
  8740 including theory Multiset for multiset orderings; converted to
  8741 new-style theory format;
  8742 
  8743 * ZF: many new theorems about lists, ordinals, etc.;
  8744 
  8745 
  8746 *** General ***
  8747 
  8748 * Pure/kernel: meta-level proof terms (by Stefan Berghofer); reference
  8749 variable proof controls level of detail: 0 = no proofs (only oracle
  8750 dependencies), 1 = lemma dependencies, 2 = compact proof terms; see
  8751 also ref manual for further ML interfaces;
  8752 
  8753 * Pure/axclass: removed obsolete ML interface
  8754 goal_subclass/goal_arity;
  8755 
  8756 * Pure/syntax: new token syntax "num" for plain numerals (without "#"
  8757 of "xnum"); potential INCOMPATIBILITY, since -0, -1 etc. are now
  8758 separate tokens, so expressions involving minus need to be spaced
  8759 properly;
  8760 
  8761 * Pure/syntax: support non-oriented infixes, using keyword "infix"
  8762 rather than "infixl" or "infixr";
  8763 
  8764 * Pure/syntax: concrete syntax for dummy type variables admits genuine
  8765 sort constraint specifications in type inference; e.g. "x::_::foo"
  8766 ensures that the type of "x" is of sort "foo" (but not necessarily a
  8767 type variable);
  8768 
  8769 * Pure/syntax: print modes "type_brackets" and "no_type_brackets"
  8770 control output of nested => (types); the default behavior is
  8771 "type_brackets";
  8772 
  8773 * Pure/syntax: builtin parse translation for "_constify" turns valued
  8774 tokens into AST constants;
  8775 
  8776 * Pure/syntax: prefer later declarations of translations and print
  8777 translation functions; potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to reverse
  8778 multiple declarations for same syntax element constant;
  8779 
  8780 * Pure/show_hyps reset by default (in accordance to existing Isar
  8781 practice);
  8782 
  8783 * Provers/classical: renamed addaltern to addafter, addSaltern to
  8784 addSafter;
  8785 
  8786 * Provers/clasimp: ``iff'' declarations now handle conditional rules
  8787 as well;
  8788 
  8789 * system: tested support for MacOS X; should be able to get Isabelle +
  8790 Proof General to work in a plain Terminal after installing Poly/ML
  8791 (e.g. from the Isabelle distribution area) and GNU bash alone
  8792 (e.g. from http://www.apple.com); full X11, XEmacs and X-Symbol
  8793 support requires further installations, e.g. from
  8794 http://fink.sourceforge.net/);
  8795 
  8796 * system: support Poly/ML 4.1.1 (able to manage larger heaps);
  8797 
  8798 * system: reduced base memory usage by Poly/ML (approx. 20 MB instead
  8799 of 40 MB), cf. ML_OPTIONS;
  8800 
  8801 * system: Proof General keywords specification is now part of the
  8802 Isabelle distribution (see etc/isar-keywords.el);
  8803 
  8804 * system: support for persistent Proof General sessions (refrain from
  8805 outdating all loaded theories on startup); user may create writable
  8806 logic images like this: ``isabelle -q HOL Test'';
  8807 
  8808 * system: smart selection of Isabelle process versus Isabelle
  8809 interface, accommodates case-insensitive file systems (e.g. HFS+); may
  8810 run both "isabelle" and "Isabelle" even if file names are badly
  8811 damaged (executable inspects the case of the first letter of its own
  8812 name); added separate "isabelle-process" and "isabelle-interface";
  8813 
  8814 * system: refrain from any attempt at filtering input streams; no
  8815 longer support ``8bit'' encoding of old isabelle font, instead proper
  8816 iso-latin characters may now be used; the related isatools
  8817 "symbolinput" and "nonascii" have disappeared as well;
  8818 
  8819 * system: removed old "xterm" interface (the print modes "xterm" and
  8820 "xterm_color" are still available for direct use in a suitable
  8821 terminal);
  8822 
  8823 
  8824 
  8825 New in Isabelle99-2 (February 2001)
  8826 -----------------------------------
  8827 
  8828 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  8829 
  8830 * HOL: please note that theories in the Library and elsewhere often use the
  8831 new-style (Isar) format; to refer to their theorems in an ML script you must
  8832 bind them to ML identifers by e.g.      val thm_name = thm "thm_name";
  8833 
  8834 * HOL: inductive package no longer splits induction rule aggressively,
  8835 but only as far as specified by the introductions given; the old
  8836 format may be recovered via ML function complete_split_rule or attribute
  8837 'split_rule (complete)';
  8838 
  8839 * HOL: induct renamed to lfp_induct, lfp_Tarski to lfp_unfold,
  8840 gfp_Tarski to gfp_unfold;
  8841 
  8842 * HOL: contrapos, contrapos2 renamed to contrapos_nn, contrapos_pp;
  8843 
  8844 * HOL: infix "dvd" now has priority 50 rather than 70 (because it is a
  8845 relation); infix "^^" has been renamed "``"; infix "``" has been
  8846 renamed "`"; "univalent" has been renamed "single_valued";
  8847 
  8848 * HOL/Real: "rinv" and "hrinv" replaced by overloaded "inverse"
  8849 operation;
  8850 
  8851 * HOLCF: infix "`" has been renamed "$"; the symbol syntax is \<cdot>;
  8852 
  8853 * Isar: 'obtain' no longer declares "that" fact as simp/intro;
  8854 
  8855 * Isar/HOL: method 'induct' now handles non-atomic goals; as a
  8856 consequence, it is no longer monotonic wrt. the local goal context
  8857 (which is now passed through the inductive cases);
  8858 
  8859 * Document preparation: renamed standard symbols \<ll> to \<lless> and
  8860 \<gg> to \<ggreater>;
  8861 
  8862 
  8863 *** Document preparation ***
  8864 
  8865 * \isabellestyle{NAME} selects version of Isabelle output (currently
  8866 available: are "it" for near math-mode best-style output, "sl" for
  8867 slanted text style, and "tt" for plain type-writer; if no
  8868 \isabellestyle command is given, output is according to slanted
  8869 type-writer);
  8870 
  8871 * support sub/super scripts (for single symbols only), input syntax is
  8872 like this: "A\<^sup>*" or "A\<^sup>\<star>";
  8873 
  8874 * some more standard symbols; see Appendix A of the system manual for
  8875 the complete list of symbols defined in isabellesym.sty;
  8876 
  8877 * improved isabelle style files; more abstract symbol implementation
  8878 (should now use \isamath{...} and \isatext{...} in custom symbol
  8879 definitions);
  8880 
  8881 * antiquotation @{goals} and @{subgoals} for output of *dynamic* goals
  8882 state; Note that presentation of goal states does not conform to
  8883 actual human-readable proof documents.  Please do not include goal
  8884 states into document output unless you really know what you are doing!
  8885 
  8886 * proper indentation of antiquoted output with proportional LaTeX
  8887 fonts;
  8888 
  8889 * no_document ML operator temporarily disables LaTeX document
  8890 generation;
  8891 
  8892 * isatool unsymbolize tunes sources for plain ASCII communication;
  8893 
  8894 
  8895 *** Isar ***
  8896 
  8897 * Pure: Isar now suffers initial goal statements to contain unbound
  8898 schematic variables (this does not conform to actual readable proof
  8899 documents, due to unpredictable outcome and non-compositional proof
  8900 checking); users who know what they are doing may use schematic goals
  8901 for Prolog-style synthesis of proven results;
  8902 
  8903 * Pure: assumption method (an implicit finishing) now handles actual
  8904 rules as well;
  8905 
  8906 * Pure: improved 'obtain' --- moved to Pure, insert "that" into
  8907 initial goal, declare "that" only as Pure intro (only for single
  8908 steps); the "that" rule assumption may now be involved in implicit
  8909 finishing, thus ".." becomes a feasible for trivial obtains;
  8910 
  8911 * Pure: default proof step now includes 'intro_classes'; thus trivial
  8912 instance proofs may be performed by "..";
  8913 
  8914 * Pure: ?thesis / ?this / "..." now work for pure meta-level
  8915 statements as well;
  8916 
  8917 * Pure: more robust selection of calculational rules;
  8918 
  8919 * Pure: the builtin notion of 'finished' goal now includes the ==-refl
  8920 rule (as well as the assumption rule);
  8921 
  8922 * Pure: 'thm_deps' command visualizes dependencies of theorems and
  8923 lemmas, using the graph browser tool;
  8924 
  8925 * Pure: predict failure of "show" in interactive mode;
  8926 
  8927 * Pure: 'thms_containing' now takes actual terms as arguments;
  8928 
  8929 * HOL: improved method 'induct' --- now handles non-atomic goals
  8930 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY); tuned error handling;
  8931 
  8932 * HOL: cases and induct rules now provide explicit hints about the
  8933 number of facts to be consumed (0 for "type" and 1 for "set" rules);
  8934 any remaining facts are inserted into the goal verbatim;
  8935 
  8936 * HOL: local contexts (aka cases) may now contain term bindings as
  8937 well; the 'cases' and 'induct' methods new provide a ?case binding for
  8938 the result to be shown in each case;
  8939 
  8940 * HOL: added 'recdef_tc' command;
  8941 
  8942 * isatool convert assists in eliminating legacy ML scripts;
  8943 
  8944 
  8945 *** HOL ***
  8946 
  8947 * HOL/Library: a collection of generic theories to be used together
  8948 with main HOL; the theory loader path already includes this directory
  8949 by default; the following existing theories have been moved here:
  8950 HOL/Induct/Multiset, HOL/Induct/Acc (as Accessible_Part), HOL/While
  8951 (as While_Combinator), HOL/Lex/Prefix (as List_Prefix);
  8952 
  8953 * HOL/Unix: "Some aspects of Unix file-system security", a typical
  8954 modelling and verification task performed in Isabelle/HOL +
  8955 Isabelle/Isar + Isabelle document preparation (by Markus Wenzel).
  8956 
  8957 * HOL/Algebra: special summation operator SUM no longer exists, it has
  8958 been replaced by setsum; infix 'assoc' now has priority 50 (like
  8959 'dvd'); axiom 'one_not_zero' has been moved from axclass 'ring' to
  8960 'domain', this makes the theory consistent with mathematical
  8961 literature;
  8962 
  8963 * HOL basics: added overloaded operations "inverse" and "divide"
  8964 (infix "/"), syntax for generic "abs" operation, generic summation
  8965 operator \<Sum>;
  8966 
  8967 * HOL/typedef: simplified package, provide more useful rules (see also
  8968 HOL/subset.thy);
  8969 
  8970 * HOL/datatype: induction rule for arbitrarily branching datatypes is
  8971 now expressed as a proper nested rule (old-style tactic scripts may
  8972 require atomize_strip_tac to cope with non-atomic premises);
  8973 
  8974 * HOL: renamed theory "Prod" to "Product_Type", renamed "split" rule
  8975 to "split_conv" (old name still available for compatibility);
  8976 
  8977 * HOL: improved concrete syntax for strings (e.g. allows translation
  8978 rules with string literals);
  8979 
  8980 * HOL-Real-Hyperreal: this extends HOL-Real with the hyperreals
  8981  and Fleuriot's mechanization of analysis, including the transcendental
  8982  functions for the reals;
  8983 
  8984 * HOL/Real, HOL/Hyperreal: improved arithmetic simplification;
  8985 
  8986 
  8987 *** CTT ***
  8988 
  8989 * CTT: x-symbol support for Pi, Sigma, -->, : (membership); note that
  8990 "lam" is displayed as TWO lambda-symbols
  8991 
  8992 * CTT: theory Main now available, containing everything (that is, Bool
  8993 and Arith);
  8994 
  8995 
  8996 *** General ***
  8997 
  8998 * Pure: the Simplifier has been implemented properly as a derived rule
  8999 outside of the actual kernel (at last!); the overall performance
  9000 penalty in practical applications is about 50%, while reliability of
  9001 the Isabelle inference kernel has been greatly improved;
  9002 
  9003 * print modes "brackets" and "no_brackets" control output of nested =>
  9004 (types) and ==> (props); the default behaviour is "brackets";
  9005 
  9006 * Provers: fast_tac (and friends) now handle actual object-logic rules
  9007 as assumptions as well;
  9008 
  9009 * system: support Poly/ML 4.0;
  9010 
  9011 * system: isatool install handles KDE version 1 or 2;
  9012 
  9013 
  9014 
  9015 New in Isabelle99-1 (October 2000)
  9016 ----------------------------------
  9017 
  9018 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  9019 
  9020 * HOL: simplification of natural numbers is much changed; to partly
  9021 recover the old behaviour (e.g. to prevent n+n rewriting to #2*n)
  9022 issue the following ML commands:
  9023 
  9024   Delsimprocs Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.cancel_numerals;
  9025   Delsimprocs [Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.combine_numerals];
  9026 
  9027 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions; this is
  9028 controlled by "t.weak_case_cong" for each datatype t;
  9029 
  9030 * HOL: nat_less_induct renamed to less_induct;
  9031 
  9032 * HOL: systematic renaming of the SOME (Eps) rules, may use isatool
  9033 fixsome to patch .thy and .ML sources automatically;
  9034 
  9035   select_equality  -> some_equality
  9036   select_eq_Ex     -> some_eq_ex
  9037   selectI2EX       -> someI2_ex
  9038   selectI2         -> someI2
  9039   selectI          -> someI
  9040   select1_equality -> some1_equality
  9041   Eps_sym_eq       -> some_sym_eq_trivial
  9042   Eps_eq           -> some_eq_trivial
  9043 
  9044 * HOL: exhaust_tac on datatypes superceded by new generic case_tac;
  9045 
  9046 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem binding expand_if (refer to split_if
  9047 instead);
  9048 
  9049 * HOL: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' are now called
  9050 f.simps instead of f.rules;
  9051 
  9052 * HOL: qed_spec_mp now also handles bounded ALL as well;
  9053 
  9054 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded, so the type constraint ":: nat" may
  9055 sometimes be needed;
  9056 
  9057 * HOL: the constant for "f``x" is now "image" rather than "op ``";
  9058 
  9059 * HOL: the constant for "f-``x" is now "vimage" rather than "op -``";
  9060 
  9061 * HOL: the disjoint sum is now "<+>" instead of "Plus"; the cartesian
  9062 product is now "<*>" instead of "Times"; the lexicographic product is
  9063 now "<*lex*>" instead of "**";
  9064 
  9065 * HOL: theory Sexp is now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part
  9066 of main HOL, but was unused); better use HOL's datatype package;
  9067 
  9068 * HOL: removed "symbols" syntax for constant "override" of theory Map;
  9069 the old syntax may be recovered as follows:
  9070 
  9071   syntax (symbols)
  9072     override  :: "('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b)"
  9073       (infixl "\\<oplus>" 100)
  9074 
  9075 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
  9076 
  9077 * HOL/ML: even fewer consts are declared as global (see theories Ord,
  9078 Lfp, Gfp, WF); this only affects ML packages that refer to const names
  9079 internally;
  9080 
  9081 * HOL and ZF: syntax for quotienting wrt an equivalence relation
  9082 changed from A/r to A//r;
  9083 
  9084 * ZF: new treatment of arithmetic (nat & int) may break some old
  9085 proofs;
  9086 
  9087 * Isar: renamed some attributes (RS -> THEN, simplify -> simplified,
  9088 rulify -> rule_format, elimify -> elim_format, ...);
  9089 
  9090 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
  9091 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (in most cases, one
  9092 should have to change intro!! to intro? only); replaced "delrule" by
  9093 "rule del";
  9094 
  9095 * Isar/HOL: renamed "intrs" to "intros" in inductive definitions;
  9096 
  9097 * Provers: strengthened force_tac by using new first_best_tac;
  9098 
  9099 * LaTeX document preparation: several changes of isabelle.sty (see
  9100 lib/texinputs);
  9101 
  9102 
  9103 *** Document preparation ***
  9104 
  9105 * formal comments (text blocks etc.) in new-style theories may now
  9106 contain antiquotations of thm/prop/term/typ/text to be presented
  9107 according to latex print mode; concrete syntax is like this:
  9108 @{term[show_types] "f(x) = a + x"};
  9109 
  9110 * isatool mkdir provides easy setup of Isabelle session directories,
  9111 including proper document sources;
  9112 
  9113 * generated LaTeX sources are now deleted after successful run
  9114 (isatool document -c); may retain a copy somewhere else via -D option
  9115 of isatool usedir;
  9116 
  9117 * isatool usedir -D now lets isatool latex -o sty update the Isabelle
  9118 style files, achieving self-contained LaTeX sources and simplifying
  9119 LaTeX debugging;
  9120 
  9121 * old-style theories now produce (crude) LaTeX output as well;
  9122 
  9123 * browser info session directories are now self-contained (may be put
  9124 on WWW server seperately); improved graphs of nested sessions; removed
  9125 graph for 'all sessions';
  9126 
  9127 * several improvements in isabelle style files; \isabellestyle{it}
  9128 produces fake math mode output; \isamarkupheader is now \section by
  9129 default; see lib/texinputs/isabelle.sty etc.;
  9130 
  9131 
  9132 *** Isar ***
  9133 
  9134 * Isar/Pure: local results and corresponding term bindings are now
  9135 subject to Hindley-Milner polymorphism (similar to ML); this
  9136 accommodates incremental type-inference very nicely;
  9137 
  9138 * Isar/Pure: new derived language element 'obtain' supports
  9139 generalized existence reasoning;
  9140 
  9141 * Isar/Pure: new calculational elements 'moreover' and 'ultimately'
  9142 support accumulation of results, without applying any rules yet;
  9143 useful to collect intermediate results without explicit name
  9144 references, and for use with transitivity rules with more than 2
  9145 premises;
  9146 
  9147 * Isar/Pure: scalable support for case-analysis type proofs: new
  9148 'case' language element refers to local contexts symbolically, as
  9149 produced by certain proof methods; internally, case names are attached
  9150 to theorems as "tags";
  9151 
  9152 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'hide' removes declarations from
  9153 class/type/const name spaces;
  9154 
  9155 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'defs' supports option "(overloaded)" to
  9156 indicate potential overloading;
  9157 
  9158 * Isar/Pure: changed syntax of local blocks from {{ }} to { };
  9159 
  9160 * Isar/Pure: syntax of sorts made 'inner', i.e. have to write
  9161 "{a,b,c}" instead of {a,b,c};
  9162 
  9163 * Isar/Pure now provides its own version of intro/elim/dest
  9164 attributes; useful for building new logics, but beware of confusion
  9165 with the version in Provers/classical;
  9166 
  9167 * Isar/Pure: the local context of (non-atomic) goals is provided via
  9168 case name 'antecedent';
  9169 
  9170 * Isar/Pure: removed obsolete 'transfer' attribute (transfer of thms
  9171 to the current context is now done automatically);
  9172 
  9173 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'method_setup' provides a simple interface
  9174 for definining proof methods in ML;
  9175 
  9176 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
  9177 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  9178 most cases, one should have to change intro!! to intro? only);
  9179 replaced "delrule" by "rule del";
  9180 
  9181 * Isar/Provers: new 'hypsubst' method, plain 'subst' method and
  9182 'symmetric' attribute (the latter supercedes [RS sym]);
  9183 
  9184 * Isar/Provers: splitter support (via 'split' attribute and 'simp'
  9185 method modifier); 'simp' method: 'only:' modifier removes loopers as
  9186 well (including splits);
  9187 
  9188 * Isar/Provers: Simplifier and Classical methods now support all kind
  9189 of modifiers used in the past, including 'cong', 'iff', etc.
  9190 
  9191 * Isar/Provers: added 'fastsimp' and 'clarsimp' methods (combination
  9192 of Simplifier and Classical reasoner);
  9193 
  9194 * Isar/HOL: new proof method 'cases' and improved version of 'induct'
  9195 now support named cases; major packages (inductive, datatype, primrec,
  9196 recdef) support case names and properly name parameters;
  9197 
  9198 * Isar/HOL: new transitivity rules for substitution in inequalities --
  9199 monotonicity conditions are extracted to be proven at end of
  9200 calculations;
  9201 
  9202 * Isar/HOL: removed 'case_split' thm binding, should use 'cases' proof
  9203 method anyway;
  9204 
  9205 * Isar/HOL: removed old expand_if = split_if; theorems if_splits =
  9206 split_if split_if_asm; datatype package provides theorems foo.splits =
  9207 foo.split foo.split_asm for each datatype;
  9208 
  9209 * Isar/HOL: tuned inductive package, rename "intrs" to "intros"
  9210 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY), emulation of mk_cases feature for proof
  9211 scripts: new 'inductive_cases' command and 'ind_cases' method; (Note:
  9212 use "(cases (simplified))" method in proper proof texts);
  9213 
  9214 * Isar/HOL: added global 'arith_split' attribute for 'arith' method;
  9215 
  9216 * Isar: names of theorems etc. may be natural numbers as well;
  9217 
  9218 * Isar: 'pr' command: optional arguments for goals_limit and
  9219 ProofContext.prems_limit; no longer prints theory contexts, but only
  9220 proof states;
  9221 
  9222 * Isar: diagnostic commands 'pr', 'thm', 'prop', 'term', 'typ' admit
  9223 additional print modes to be specified; e.g. "pr(latex)" will print
  9224 proof state according to the Isabelle LaTeX style;
  9225 
  9226 * Isar: improved support for emulating tactic scripts, including proof
  9227 methods 'rule_tac' etc., 'cut_tac', 'thin_tac', 'subgoal_tac',
  9228 'rename_tac', 'rotate_tac', 'tactic', and 'case_tac' / 'induct_tac'
  9229 (for HOL datatypes);
  9230 
  9231 * Isar: simplified (more robust) goal selection of proof methods: 1st
  9232 goal, all goals, or explicit goal specifier (tactic emulation); thus
  9233 'proof method scripts' have to be in depth-first order;
  9234 
  9235 * Isar: tuned 'let' syntax: replaced 'as' keyword by 'and';
  9236 
  9237 * Isar: removed 'help' command, which hasn't been too helpful anyway;
  9238 should instead use individual commands for printing items
  9239 (print_commands, print_methods etc.);
  9240 
  9241 * Isar: added 'nothing' --- the empty list of theorems;
  9242 
  9243 
  9244 *** HOL ***
  9245 
  9246 * HOL/MicroJava: formalization of a fragment of Java, together with a
  9247 corresponding virtual machine and a specification of its bytecode
  9248 verifier and a lightweight bytecode verifier, including proofs of
  9249 type-safety; by Gerwin Klein, Tobias Nipkow, David von Oheimb, and
  9250 Cornelia Pusch (see also the homepage of project Bali at
  9251 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Bali/);
  9252 
  9253 * HOL/Algebra: new theory of rings and univariate polynomials, by
  9254 Clemens Ballarin;
  9255 
  9256 * HOL/NumberTheory: fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, Chinese
  9257 Remainder Theorem, Fermat/Euler Theorem, Wilson's Theorem, by Thomas M
  9258 Rasmussen;
  9259 
  9260 * HOL/Lattice: fundamental concepts of lattice theory and order
  9261 structures, including duals, properties of bounds versus algebraic
  9262 laws, lattice operations versus set-theoretic ones, the Knaster-Tarski
  9263 Theorem for complete lattices etc.; may also serve as a demonstration
  9264 for abstract algebraic reasoning using axiomatic type classes, and
  9265 mathematics-style proof in Isabelle/Isar; by Markus Wenzel;
  9266 
  9267 * HOL/Prolog: a (bare-bones) implementation of Lambda-Prolog, by David
  9268 von Oheimb;
  9269 
  9270 * HOL/IMPP: extension of IMP with local variables and mutually
  9271 recursive procedures, by David von Oheimb;
  9272 
  9273 * HOL/Lambda: converted into new-style theory and document;
  9274 
  9275 * HOL/ex/Multiquote: example of multiple nested quotations and
  9276 anti-quotations -- basically a generalized version of de-Bruijn
  9277 representation; very useful in avoiding lifting of operations;
  9278 
  9279 * HOL/record: added general record equality rule to simpset; fixed
  9280 select-update simplification procedure to handle extended records as
  9281 well; admit "r" as field name;
  9282 
  9283 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded over the new sort "zero", allowing its use with
  9284 other numeric types and also as the identity of groups, rings, etc.;
  9285 
  9286 * HOL: new axclass plus_ac0 for addition with the AC-laws and 0 as identity.
  9287 Types nat and int belong to this axclass;
  9288 
  9289 * HOL: greatly improved simplification involving numerals of type nat, int, real:
  9290    (i + #8 + j) = Suc k simplifies to  #7 + (i + j) = k
  9291    i*j + k + j*#3*i     simplifies to  #4*(i*j) + k
  9292   two terms #m*u and #n*u are replaced by #(m+n)*u
  9293     (where #m, #n and u can implicitly be 1; this is simproc combine_numerals)
  9294   and the term/formula #m*u+x ~~ #n*u+y simplifies simplifies to #(m-n)+x ~~ y
  9295     or x ~~ #(n-m)+y, where ~~ is one of = < <= or - (simproc cancel_numerals);
  9296 
  9297 * HOL: meson_tac is available (previously in ex/meson.ML); it is a
  9298 powerful prover for predicate logic but knows nothing of clasets; see
  9299 ex/mesontest.ML and ex/mesontest2.ML for example applications;
  9300 
  9301 * HOL: new version of "case_tac" subsumes both boolean case split and
  9302 "exhaust_tac" on datatypes; INCOMPATIBILITY: exhaust_tac no longer
  9303 exists, may define val exhaust_tac = case_tac for ad-hoc portability;
  9304 
  9305 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions: only the
  9306 selector expression is simplified, but not the remaining arms; to
  9307 enable full simplification of case-expressions for datatype t, you may
  9308 remove t.weak_case_cong from the simpset, either globally (Delcongs
  9309 [thm"t.weak_case_cong"];) or locally (delcongs [...]).
  9310 
  9311 * HOL/recdef: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' for
  9312 function 'f' are now called f.simps instead of f.rules; if all
  9313 termination conditions are proved automatically, these simplification
  9314 rules are added to the simpset, as in primrec; rules may be named
  9315 individually as well, resulting in a separate list of theorems for
  9316 each equation;
  9317 
  9318 * HOL/While is a new theory that provides a while-combinator. It
  9319 permits the definition of tail-recursive functions without the
  9320 provision of a termination measure. The latter is necessary once the
  9321 invariant proof rule for while is applied.
  9322 
  9323 * HOL: new (overloaded) notation for the set of elements below/above
  9324 some element: {..u}, {..u(}, {l..}, {)l..}. See theory SetInterval.
  9325 
  9326 * HOL: theorems impI, allI, ballI bound as "strip";
  9327 
  9328 * HOL: new tactic induct_thm_tac: thm -> string -> int -> tactic
  9329 induct_tac th "x1 ... xn" expects th to have a conclusion of the form
  9330 P v1 ... vn and abbreviates res_inst_tac [("v1","x1"),...,("vn","xn")] th;
  9331 
  9332 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
  9333 
  9334 * HOL: theory Sexp now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part of
  9335 main HOL, but was unused);
  9336 
  9337 * HOL: fewer consts declared as global (e.g. have to refer to
  9338 "Lfp.lfp" instead of "lfp" internally; affects ML packages only);
  9339 
  9340 * HOL: tuned AST representation of nested pairs, avoiding bogus output
  9341 in case of overlap with user translations (e.g. judgements over
  9342 tuples); (note that the underlying logical represenation is still
  9343 bogus);
  9344 
  9345 
  9346 *** ZF ***
  9347 
  9348 * ZF: simplification automatically cancels common terms in arithmetic
  9349 expressions over nat and int;
  9350 
  9351 * ZF: new treatment of nat to minimize type-checking: all operators
  9352 coerce their operands to a natural number using the function natify,
  9353 making the algebraic laws unconditional;
  9354 
  9355 * ZF: as above, for int: operators coerce their operands to an integer
  9356 using the function intify;
  9357 
  9358 * ZF: the integer library now contains many of the usual laws for the
  9359 orderings, including $<=, and monotonicity laws for $+ and $*;
  9360 
  9361 * ZF: new example ZF/ex/NatSum to demonstrate integer arithmetic
  9362 simplification;
  9363 
  9364 * FOL and ZF: AddIffs now available, giving theorems of the form P<->Q
  9365 to the simplifier and classical reasoner simultaneously;
  9366 
  9367 
  9368 *** General ***
  9369 
  9370 * Provers: blast_tac now handles actual object-logic rules as
  9371 assumptions; note that auto_tac uses blast_tac internally as well;
  9372 
  9373 * Provers: new functions rulify/rulify_no_asm: thm -> thm for turning
  9374 outer -->/All/Ball into ==>/!!; qed_spec_mp now uses rulify_no_asm;
  9375 
  9376 * Provers: delrules now handles destruct rules as well (no longer need
  9377 explicit make_elim);
  9378 
  9379 * Provers: Blast_tac now warns of and ignores "weak elimination rules" e.g.
  9380   [| inj ?f;          ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
  9381 use instead the strong form,
  9382   [| inj ?f; ~ ?W ==> ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
  9383 in HOL, FOL and ZF the function cla_make_elim will create such rules
  9384 from destruct-rules;
  9385 
  9386 * Provers: Simplifier.easy_setup provides a fast path to basic
  9387 Simplifier setup for new object-logics;
  9388 
  9389 * Pure: AST translation rules no longer require constant head on LHS;
  9390 
  9391 * Pure: improved name spaces: ambiguous output is qualified; support
  9392 for hiding of names;
  9393 
  9394 * system: smart setup of canonical ML_HOME, ISABELLE_INTERFACE, and
  9395 XSYMBOL_HOME; no longer need to do manual configuration in most
  9396 situations;
  9397 
  9398 * system: compression of ML heaps images may now be controlled via -c
  9399 option of isabelle and isatool usedir (currently only observed by
  9400 Poly/ML);
  9401 
  9402 * system: isatool installfonts may handle X-Symbol fonts as well (very
  9403 useful for remote X11);
  9404 
  9405 * system: provide TAGS file for Isabelle sources;
  9406 
  9407 * ML: infix 'OF' is a version of 'MRS' with more appropriate argument
  9408 order;
  9409 
  9410 * ML: renamed flags Syntax.trace_norm_ast to Syntax.trace_ast; global
  9411 timing flag supersedes proof_timing and Toplevel.trace;
  9412 
  9413 * ML: new combinators |>> and |>>> for incremental transformations
  9414 with secondary results (e.g. certain theory extensions):
  9415 
  9416 * ML: PureThy.add_defs gets additional argument to indicate potential
  9417 overloading (usually false);
  9418 
  9419 * ML: PureThy.add_thms/add_axioms/add_defs now return theorems as
  9420 results;
  9421 
  9422 
  9423 
  9424 New in Isabelle99 (October 1999)
  9425 --------------------------------
  9426 
  9427 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  9428 
  9429 * HOL: The THEN and ELSE parts of conditional expressions (if P then x else y)
  9430 are no longer simplified.  (This allows the simplifier to unfold recursive
  9431 functional programs.)  To restore the old behaviour, declare
  9432 
  9433     Delcongs [if_weak_cong];
  9434 
  9435 * HOL: Removed the obsolete syntax "Compl A"; use -A for set
  9436 complement;
  9437 
  9438 * HOL: the predicate "inj" is now defined by translation to "inj_on";
  9439 
  9440 * HOL/datatype: mutual_induct_tac no longer exists --
  9441   use induct_tac "x_1 ... x_n" instead of mutual_induct_tac ["x_1", ..., "x_n"]
  9442 
  9443 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
  9444 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
  9445 
  9446 * ZF: The con_defs part of an inductive definition may no longer refer
  9447 to constants declared in the same theory;
  9448 
  9449 * HOL, ZF: the function mk_cases, generated by the inductive
  9450 definition package, has lost an argument.  To simplify its result, it
  9451 uses the default simpset instead of a supplied list of theorems.
  9452 
  9453 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
  9454 
  9455 * Simplifier: the type of the infix ML functions
  9456         setSSolver addSSolver setSolver addSolver
  9457 is now  simpset * solver -> simpset  where `solver' is a new abstract type
  9458 for packaging solvers. A solver is created via
  9459         mk_solver: string -> (thm list -> int -> tactic) -> solver
  9460 where the string argument is only a comment.
  9461 
  9462 
  9463 *** Proof tools ***
  9464 
  9465 * Provers/Arith/fast_lin_arith.ML contains a functor for creating a
  9466 decision procedure for linear arithmetic. Currently it is used for
  9467 types `nat', `int', and `real' in HOL (see below); it can, should and
  9468 will be instantiated for other types and logics as well.
  9469 
  9470 * The simplifier now accepts rewrite rules with flexible heads, eg
  9471      hom ?f ==> ?f(?x+?y) = ?f ?x + ?f ?y
  9472   They are applied like any rule with a non-pattern lhs, i.e. by first-order
  9473   matching.
  9474 
  9475 
  9476 *** General ***
  9477 
  9478 * New Isabelle/Isar subsystem provides an alternative to traditional
  9479 tactical theorem proving; together with the ProofGeneral/isar user
  9480 interface it offers an interactive environment for developing human
  9481 readable proof documents (Isar == Intelligible semi-automated
  9482 reasoning); for further information see isatool doc isar-ref,
  9483 src/HOL/Isar_examples and http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Isar/
  9484 
  9485 * improved and simplified presentation of theories: better HTML markup
  9486 (including colors), graph views in several sizes; isatool usedir now
  9487 provides a proper interface for user theories (via -P option); actual
  9488 document preparation based on (PDF)LaTeX is available as well (for
  9489 new-style theories only); see isatool doc system for more information;
  9490 
  9491 * native support for Proof General, both for classic Isabelle and
  9492 Isabelle/Isar;
  9493 
  9494 * ML function thm_deps visualizes dependencies of theorems and lemmas,
  9495 using the graph browser tool;
  9496 
  9497 * Isabelle manuals now also available as PDF;
  9498 
  9499 * theory loader rewritten from scratch (may not be fully
  9500 bug-compatible); old loadpath variable has been replaced by show_path,
  9501 add_path, del_path, reset_path functions; new operations such as
  9502 update_thy, touch_thy, remove_thy, use/update_thy_only (see also
  9503 isatool doc ref);
  9504 
  9505 * improved isatool install: option -k creates KDE application icon,
  9506 option -p DIR installs standalone binaries;
  9507 
  9508 * added ML_PLATFORM setting (useful for cross-platform installations);
  9509 more robust handling of platform specific ML images for SML/NJ;
  9510 
  9511 * the settings environment is now statically scoped, i.e. it is never
  9512 created again in sub-processes invoked from isabelle, isatool, or
  9513 Isabelle;
  9514 
  9515 * path element specification '~~' refers to '$ISABELLE_HOME';
  9516 
  9517 * in locales, the "assumes" and "defines" parts may be omitted if
  9518 empty;
  9519 
  9520 * new print_mode "xsymbols" for extended symbol support (e.g. genuine
  9521 long arrows);
  9522 
  9523 * new print_mode "HTML";
  9524 
  9525 * new flag show_tags controls display of tags of theorems (which are
  9526 basically just comments that may be attached by some tools);
  9527 
  9528 * Isamode 2.6 requires patch to accomodate change of Isabelle font
  9529 mode and goal output format:
  9530 
  9531 diff -r Isamode-2.6/elisp/isa-load.el Isamode/elisp/isa-load.el
  9532 244c244
  9533 <       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-msymbols" logic-name)
  9534 ---
  9535 >       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-misabelle_font" "-msymbols" logic-name)
  9536 diff -r Isabelle-2.6/elisp/isa-proofstate.el Isamode/elisp/isa-proofstate.el
  9537 181c181
  9538 < (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+$"
  9539 ---
  9540 > (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+"
  9541 
  9542 * function bind_thms stores lists of theorems (cf. bind_thm);
  9543 
  9544 * new shorthand tactics ftac, eatac, datac, fatac;
  9545 
  9546 * qed (and friends) now accept "" as result name; in that case the
  9547 theorem is not stored, but proper checks and presentation of the
  9548 result still apply;
  9549 
  9550 * theorem database now also indexes constants "Trueprop", "all",
  9551 "==>", "=="; thus thms_containing, findI etc. may retrieve more rules;
  9552 
  9553 
  9554 *** HOL ***
  9555 
  9556 ** HOL arithmetic **
  9557 
  9558 * There are now decision procedures for linear arithmetic over nat and
  9559 int:
  9560 
  9561 1. arith_tac copes with arbitrary formulae involving `=', `<', `<=',
  9562 `+', `-', `Suc', `min', `max' and numerical constants; other subterms
  9563 are treated as atomic; subformulae not involving type `nat' or `int'
  9564 are ignored; quantified subformulae are ignored unless they are
  9565 positive universal or negative existential. The tactic has to be
  9566 invoked by hand and can be a little bit slow. In particular, the
  9567 running time is exponential in the number of occurrences of `min' and
  9568 `max', and `-' on `nat'.
  9569 
  9570 2. fast_arith_tac is a cut-down version of arith_tac: it only takes
  9571 (negated) (in)equalities among the premises and the conclusion into
  9572 account (i.e. no compound formulae) and does not know about `min' and
  9573 `max', and `-' on `nat'. It is fast and is used automatically by the
  9574 simplifier.
  9575 
  9576 NB: At the moment, these decision procedures do not cope with mixed
  9577 nat/int formulae where the two parts interact, such as `m < n ==>
  9578 int(m) < int(n)'.
  9579 
  9580 * HOL/Numeral provides a generic theory of numerals (encoded
  9581 efficiently as bit strings); setup for types nat/int/real is in place;
  9582 INCOMPATIBILITY: since numeral syntax is now polymorphic, rather than
  9583 int, existing theories and proof scripts may require a few additional
  9584 type constraints;
  9585 
  9586 * integer division and remainder can now be performed on constant
  9587 arguments;
  9588 
  9589 * many properties of integer multiplication, division and remainder
  9590 are now available;
  9591 
  9592 * An interface to the Stanford Validity Checker (SVC) is available through the
  9593 tactic svc_tac.  Propositional tautologies and theorems of linear arithmetic
  9594 are proved automatically.  SVC must be installed separately, and its results
  9595 must be TAKEN ON TRUST (Isabelle does not check the proofs, but tags any
  9596 invocation of the underlying oracle).  For SVC see
  9597   http://verify.stanford.edu/SVC
  9598 
  9599 * IsaMakefile: the HOL-Real target now builds an actual image;
  9600 
  9601 
  9602 ** HOL misc **
  9603 
  9604 * HOL/Real/HahnBanach: the Hahn-Banach theorem for real vector spaces
  9605 (in Isabelle/Isar) -- by Gertrud Bauer;
  9606 
  9607 * HOL/BCV: generic model of bytecode verification, i.e. data-flow
  9608 analysis for assembly languages with subtypes;
  9609 
  9610 * HOL/TLA (Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions): major reorganization
  9611 -- avoids syntactic ambiguities and treats state, transition, and
  9612 temporal levels more uniformly; introduces INCOMPATIBILITIES due to
  9613 changed syntax and (many) tactics;
  9614 
  9615 * HOL/inductive: Now also handles more general introduction rules such
  9616   as "ALL y. (y, x) : r --> y : acc r ==> x : acc r"; monotonicity
  9617   theorems are now maintained within the theory (maintained via the
  9618   "mono" attribute);
  9619 
  9620 * HOL/datatype: Now also handles arbitrarily branching datatypes
  9621   (using function types) such as
  9622 
  9623   datatype 'a tree = Atom 'a | Branch "nat => 'a tree"
  9624 
  9625 * HOL/record: record_simproc (part of the default simpset) takes care
  9626 of selectors applied to updated records; record_split_tac is no longer
  9627 part of the default claset; update_defs may now be removed from the
  9628 simpset in many cases; COMPATIBILITY: old behavior achieved by
  9629 
  9630   claset_ref () := claset() addSWrapper record_split_wrapper;
  9631   Delsimprocs [record_simproc]
  9632 
  9633 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
  9634 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
  9635 
  9636 * HOL/recdef (TFL): 'congs' syntax now expects comma separated list of theorem
  9637 names rather than an ML expression;
  9638 
  9639 * HOL/defer_recdef (TFL): like recdef but the well-founded relation can be
  9640 supplied later.  Program schemes can be defined, such as
  9641     "While B C s = (if B s then While B C (C s) else s)"
  9642 where the well-founded relation can be chosen after B and C have been given.
  9643 
  9644 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
  9645 INCOMPATIBILITY: while [] and infix # syntax is still there, of
  9646 course, ML tools referring to List.list.op # etc. have to be adapted;
  9647 
  9648 * HOL_quantifiers flag superseded by "HOL" print mode, which is
  9649 disabled by default; run isabelle with option -m HOL to get back to
  9650 the original Gordon/HOL-style output;
  9651 
  9652 * HOL/Ord.thy: new bounded quantifier syntax (input only): ALL x<y. P,
  9653 ALL x<=y. P, EX x<y. P, EX x<=y. P;
  9654 
  9655 * HOL basic syntax simplified (more orthogonal): all variants of
  9656 All/Ex now support plain / symbolic / HOL notation; plain syntax for
  9657 Eps operator is provided as well: "SOME x. P[x]";
  9658 
  9659 * HOL/Sum.thy: sum_case has been moved to HOL/Datatype;
  9660 
  9661 * HOL/Univ.thy: infix syntax <*>, <+>, <**>, <+> eliminated and made
  9662 thus available for user theories;
  9663 
  9664 * HOLCF/IOA/Sequents: renamed 'Cons' to 'Consq' to avoid clash with
  9665 HOL/List; hardly an INCOMPATIBILITY since '>>' syntax is used all the
  9666 time;
  9667 
  9668 * HOL: new tactic smp_tac: int -> int -> tactic, which applies spec
  9669 several times and then mp;
  9670

  9673 
  9674 * the notation <<...>> is now available as a notation for sequences of
  9675 formulas;
  9676 
  9677 * the simplifier is now installed
  9678 
  9679 * the axiom system has been generalized (thanks to Soren Heilmann)
  9680 
  9681 * the classical reasoner now has a default rule database
  9682 
  9683 
  9684 *** ZF ***
  9685 
  9686 * new primrec section allows primitive recursive functions to be given
  9687 directly (as in HOL) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
  9688 
  9689 * new tactics induct_tac and exhaust_tac for induction (or case
  9690 analysis) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
  9691 
  9692 * the datatype declaration of type T now defines the recursor T_rec;
  9693 
  9694 * simplification automatically does freeness reasoning for datatype
  9695 constructors;
  9696 
  9697 * automatic type-inference, with AddTCs command to insert new
  9698 type-checking rules;
  9699 
  9700 * datatype introduction rules are now added as Safe Introduction rules
  9701 to the claset;
  9702 
  9703 * the syntax "if P then x else y" is now available in addition to
  9704 if(P,x,y);
  9705 
  9706 
  9707 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
  9708 
  9709 * tuned simplifier trace output; new flag debug_simp;
  9710 
  9711 * structures Vartab / Termtab (instances of TableFun) offer efficient
  9712 tables indexed by indexname_ord / term_ord (compatible with aconv);
  9713 
  9714 * AxClass.axclass_tac lost the theory argument;
  9715 
  9716 * tuned current_goals_markers semantics: begin / end goal avoids
  9717 printing empty lines;
  9718 
  9719 * removed prs and prs_fn hook, which was broken because it did not
  9720 include \n in its semantics, forcing writeln to add one
  9721 uncoditionally; replaced prs_fn by writeln_fn; consider std_output:
  9722 string -> unit if you really want to output text without newline;
  9723 
  9724 * Symbol.output subject to print mode; INCOMPATIBILITY: defaults to
  9725 plain output, interface builders may have to enable 'isabelle_font'
  9726 mode to get Isabelle font glyphs as before;
  9727 
  9728 * refined token_translation interface; INCOMPATIBILITY: output length
  9729 now of type real instead of int;
  9730 
  9731 * theory loader actions may be traced via new ThyInfo.add_hook
  9732 interface (see src/Pure/Thy/thy_info.ML); example application: keep
  9733 your own database of information attached to *whole* theories -- as
  9734 opposed to intra-theory data slots offered via TheoryDataFun;
  9735 
  9736 * proper handling of dangling sort hypotheses (at last!);
  9737 Thm.strip_shyps and Drule.strip_shyps_warning take care of removing
  9738 extra sort hypotheses that can be witnessed from the type signature;
  9739 the force_strip_shyps flag is gone, any remaining shyps are simply
  9740 left in the theorem (with a warning issued by strip_shyps_warning);
  9741 
  9742 
  9743 
  9744 New in Isabelle98-1 (October 1998)
  9745 ----------------------------------
  9746 
  9747 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  9748 
  9749 * several changes of automated proof tools;
  9750 
  9751 * HOL: major changes to the inductive and datatype packages, including
  9752 some minor incompatibilities of theory syntax;
  9753 
  9754 * HOL: renamed r^-1 to 'converse' from 'inverse'; 'inj_onto' is now
  9755 called `inj_on';
  9756 
  9757 * HOL: removed duplicate thms in Arith:
  9758   less_imp_add_less  should be replaced by  trans_less_add1
  9759   le_imp_add_le      should be replaced by  trans_le_add1
  9760 
  9761 * HOL: unary minus is now overloaded (new type constraints may be
  9762 required);
  9763 
  9764 * HOL and ZF: unary minus for integers is now #- instead of #~.  In
  9765 ZF, expressions such as n#-1 must be changed to n#- 1, since #-1 is
  9766 now taken as an integer constant.
  9767 
  9768 * Pure: ML function 'theory_of' renamed to 'theory';
  9769 
  9770 
  9771 *** Proof tools ***
  9772 
  9773 * Simplifier:
  9774   1. Asm_full_simp_tac is now more aggressive.
  9775      1. It will sometimes reorient premises if that increases their power to
  9776         simplify.
  9777      2. It does no longer proceed strictly from left to right but may also
  9778         rotate premises to achieve further simplification.
  9779      For compatibility reasons there is now Asm_lr_simp_tac which is like the
  9780      old Asm_full_simp_tac in that it does not rotate premises.
  9781   2. The simplifier now knows a little bit about nat-arithmetic.
  9782 
  9783 * Classical reasoner: wrapper mechanism for the classical reasoner now
  9784 allows for selected deletion of wrappers, by introduction of names for
  9785 wrapper functionals.  This implies that addbefore, addSbefore,
  9786 addaltern, and addSaltern now take a pair (name, tactic) as argument,
  9787 and that adding two tactics with the same name overwrites the first
  9788 one (emitting a warning).
  9789   type wrapper = (int -> tactic) -> (int -> tactic)
  9790   setWrapper, setSWrapper, compWrapper and compSWrapper are replaced by
  9791   addWrapper, addSWrapper: claset * (string * wrapper) -> claset
  9792   delWrapper, delSWrapper: claset *  string            -> claset
  9793   getWrapper is renamed to appWrappers, getSWrapper to appSWrappers;
  9794 
  9795 * Classical reasoner: addbefore/addSbefore now have APPEND/ORELSE
  9796 semantics; addbefore now affects only the unsafe part of step_tac
  9797 etc.; this affects addss/auto_tac/force_tac, so EXISTING PROOFS MAY
  9798 FAIL, but proofs should be fixable easily, e.g. by replacing Auto_tac
  9799 by Force_tac;
  9800 
  9801 * Classical reasoner: setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to
  9802 compWrapper; added safe wrapper (and access functions for it);
  9803 
  9804 * HOL/split_all_tac is now much faster and fails if there is nothing
  9805 to split.  Some EXISTING PROOFS MAY REQUIRE ADAPTION because the order
  9806 and the names of the automatically generated variables have changed.
  9807 split_all_tac has moved within claset() from unsafe wrappers to safe
  9808 wrappers, which means that !!-bound variables are split much more
  9809 aggressively, and safe_tac and clarify_tac now split such variables.
  9810 If this splitting is not appropriate, use delSWrapper "split_all_tac".
  9811 Note: the same holds for record_split_tac, which does the job of
  9812 split_all_tac for record fields.
  9813 
  9814 * HOL/Simplifier: Rewrite rules for case distinctions can now be added
  9815 permanently to the default simpset using Addsplits just like
  9816 Addsimps. They can be removed via Delsplits just like
  9817 Delsimps. Lower-case versions are also available.
  9818 
  9819 * HOL/Simplifier: The rule split_if is now part of the default
  9820 simpset. This means that the simplifier will eliminate all occurrences
  9821 of if-then-else in the conclusion of a goal. To prevent this, you can
  9822 either remove split_if completely from the default simpset by
  9823 `Delsplits [split_if]' or remove it in a specific call of the
  9824 simplifier using `... delsplits [split_if]'.  You can also add/delete
  9825 other case splitting rules to/from the default simpset: every datatype
  9826 generates suitable rules `split_t_case' and `split_t_case_asm' (where
  9827 t is the name of the datatype).
  9828 
  9829 * Classical reasoner / Simplifier combination: new force_tac (and
  9830 derivatives Force_tac, force) combines rewriting and classical
  9831 reasoning (and whatever other tools) similarly to auto_tac, but is
  9832 aimed to solve the given subgoal completely.
  9833 
  9834 
  9835 *** General ***
  9836 
  9837 * new top-level commands `Goal' and `Goalw' that improve upon `goal'
  9838 and `goalw': the theory is no longer needed as an explicit argument -
  9839 the current theory context is used; assumptions are no longer returned
  9840 at the ML-level unless one of them starts with ==> or !!; it is
  9841 recommended to convert to these new commands using isatool fixgoal
  9842 (backup your sources first!);
  9843 
  9844 * new top-level commands 'thm' and 'thms' for retrieving theorems from
  9845 the current theory context, and 'theory' to lookup stored theories;
  9846 
  9847 * new theory section 'locale' for declaring constants, assumptions and
  9848 definitions that have local scope;
  9849 
  9850 * new theory section 'nonterminals' for purely syntactic types;
  9851 
  9852 * new theory section 'setup' for generic ML setup functions
  9853 (e.g. package initialization);
  9854 
  9855 * the distribution now includes Isabelle icons: see
  9856 lib/logo/isabelle-{small,tiny}.xpm;
  9857 
  9858 * isatool install - install binaries with absolute references to
  9859 ISABELLE_HOME/bin;
  9860 
  9861 * isatool logo -- create instances of the Isabelle logo (as EPS);
  9862 
  9863 * print mode 'emacs' reserved for Isamode;
  9864 
  9865 * support multiple print (ast) translations per constant name;
  9866 
  9867 * theorems involving oracles are now printed with a suffixed [!];
  9868 
  9869 
  9870 *** HOL ***
  9871 
  9872 * there is now a tutorial on Isabelle/HOL (do 'isatool doc tutorial');
  9873 
  9874 * HOL/inductive package reorganized and improved: now supports mutual
  9875 definitions such as
  9876 
  9877   inductive EVEN ODD
  9878     intrs
  9879       null "0 : EVEN"
  9880       oddI "n : EVEN ==> Suc n : ODD"
  9881       evenI "n : ODD ==> Suc n : EVEN"
  9882 
  9883 new theorem list "elims" contains an elimination rule for each of the
  9884 recursive sets; inductive definitions now handle disjunctive premises
  9885 correctly (also ZF);
  9886 
  9887 INCOMPATIBILITIES: requires Inductive as an ancestor; component
  9888 "mutual_induct" no longer exists - the induction rule is always
  9889 contained in "induct";
  9890 
  9891 
  9892 * HOL/datatype package re-implemented and greatly improved: now
  9893 supports mutually recursive datatypes such as
  9894 
  9895   datatype
  9896     'a aexp = IF_THEN_ELSE ('a bexp) ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9897             | SUM ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9898             | DIFF ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9899             | NUM 'a
  9900   and
  9901     'a bexp = LESS ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9902             | AND ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
  9903             | OR ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
  9904 
  9905 as well as indirectly recursive datatypes such as
  9906 
  9907   datatype
  9908     ('a, 'b) term = Var 'a
  9909                   | App 'b ((('a, 'b) term) list)
  9910 
  9911 The new tactic  mutual_induct_tac [<var_1>, ..., <var_n>] i  performs
  9912 induction on mutually / indirectly recursive datatypes.
  9913 
  9914 Primrec equations are now stored in theory and can be accessed via
  9915 <function_name>.simps.
  9916 
  9917 INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  9918 
  9919   - Theories using datatypes must now have theory Datatype as an
  9920     ancestor.
  9921   - The specific <typename>.induct_tac no longer exists - use the
  9922     generic induct_tac instead.
  9923   - natE has been renamed to nat.exhaust - use exhaust_tac
  9924     instead of res_inst_tac ... natE. Note that the variable
  9925     names in nat.exhaust differ from the names in natE, this
  9926     may cause some "fragile" proofs to fail.
  9927   - The theorems split_<typename>_case and split_<typename>_case_asm
  9928     have been renamed to <typename>.split and <typename>.split_asm.
  9929   - Since default sorts of type variables are now handled correctly,
  9930     some datatype definitions may have to be annotated with explicit
  9931     sort constraints.
  9932   - Primrec definitions no longer require function name and type
  9933     of recursive argument.
  9934 
  9935 Consider using isatool fixdatatype to adapt your theories and proof
  9936 scripts to the new package (backup your sources first!).
  9937 
  9938 
  9939 * HOL/record package: considerably improved implementation; now
  9940 includes concrete syntax for record types, terms, updates; theorems
  9941 for surjective pairing and splitting !!-bound record variables; proof
  9942 support is as follows:
  9943 
  9944   1) standard conversions (selectors or updates applied to record
  9945 constructor terms) are part of the standard simpset;
  9946 
  9947   2) inject equations of the form ((x, y) = (x', y')) == x=x' & y=y' are
  9948 made part of standard simpset and claset via addIffs;
  9949 
  9950   3) a tactic for record field splitting (record_split_tac) is part of
  9951 the standard claset (addSWrapper);
  9952 
  9953 To get a better idea about these rules you may retrieve them via
  9954 something like 'thms "foo.simps"' or 'thms "foo.iffs"', where "foo" is
  9955 the name of your record type.
  9956 
  9957 The split tactic 3) conceptually simplifies by the following rule:
  9958 
  9959   "(!!x. PROP ?P x) == (!!a b. PROP ?P (a, b))"
  9960 
  9961 Thus any record variable that is bound by meta-all will automatically
  9962 blow up into some record constructor term, consequently the
  9963 simplifications of 1), 2) apply.  Thus force_tac, auto_tac etc. shall
  9964 solve record problems automatically.
  9965 
  9966 
  9967 * reorganized the main HOL image: HOL/Integ and String loaded by
  9968 default; theory Main includes everything;
  9969 
  9970 * automatic simplification of integer sums and comparisons, using cancellation;
  9971 
  9972 * added option_map_eq_Some and not_Some_eq to the default simpset and claset;
  9973 
  9974 * added disj_not1 = "(~P | Q) = (P --> Q)" to the default simpset;
  9975 
  9976 * many new identities for unions, intersections, set difference, etc.;
  9977 
  9978 * expand_if, expand_split, expand_sum_case and expand_nat_case are now
  9979 called split_if, split_split, split_sum_case and split_nat_case (to go
  9980 with add/delsplits);
  9981 
  9982 * HOL/Prod introduces simplification procedure unit_eq_proc rewriting
  9983 (?x::unit) = (); this is made part of the default simpset, which COULD
  9984 MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL under rare circumstances (consider
  9985 'Delsimprocs [unit_eq_proc];' as last resort); also note that
  9986 unit_abs_eta_conv is added in order to counter the effect of
  9987 unit_eq_proc on (%u::unit. f u), replacing it by f rather than by
  9988 %u.f();
  9989 
  9990 * HOL/Fun INCOMPATIBILITY: `inj_onto' is now called `inj_on' (which
  9991 makes more sense);
  9992 
  9993 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
  9994   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
  9995   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
  9996 
  9997 * HOL/Relation INCOMPATIBILITY: renamed the relational operator r^-1
  9998 to 'converse' from 'inverse' (for compatibility with ZF and some
  9999 literature);
 10000 
 10001 * HOL/recdef can now declare non-recursive functions, with {} supplied as
 10002 the well-founded relation;
 10003 
 10004 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: the complement of set A is now written -A instead of
 10005     Compl A.  The "Compl" syntax remains available as input syntax for this
 10006     release ONLY.
 10007 
 10008 * HOL/Update: new theory of function updates:
 10009     f(a:=b) == %x. if x=a then b else f x
 10010 may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 10011 
 10012 * HOL/Vimage: new theory for inverse image of a function, syntax f-``B;
 10013 
 10014 * HOL/List:
 10015   - new function list_update written xs[i:=v] that updates the i-th
 10016     list position. May also be iterated as in xs[i:=a,j:=b,...].
 10017   - new function `upt' written [i..j(] which generates the list
 10018     [i,i+1,...,j-1], i.e. the upper bound is excluded. To include the upper
 10019     bound write [i..j], which is a shorthand for [i..j+1(].
 10020   - new lexicographic orderings and corresponding wellfoundedness theorems.
 10021 
 10022 * HOL/Arith:
 10023   - removed 'pred' (predecessor) function;
 10024   - generalized some theorems about n-1;
 10025   - many new laws about "div" and "mod";
 10026   - new laws about greatest common divisors (see theory ex/Primes);
 10027 
 10028 * HOL/Relation: renamed the relational operator r^-1 "converse"
 10029 instead of "inverse";
 10030 
 10031 * HOL/Induct/Multiset: a theory of multisets, including the wellfoundedness
 10032   of the multiset ordering;
 10033 
 10034 * directory HOL/Real: a construction of the reals using Dedekind cuts
 10035   (not included by default);
 10036 
 10037 * directory HOL/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY formalism;
 10038 
 10039 * directory HOL/Hoare: a new version of Hoare logic which permits many-sorted
 10040   programs, i.e. different program variables may have different types.
 10041 
 10042 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 10043   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 10044   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 10045 
 10046 
 10047 *** ZF ***
 10048 
 10049 * theory Main includes everything; INCOMPATIBILITY: theory ZF.thy contains
 10050   only the theorems proved on ZF.ML;
 10051 
 10052 * ZF INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 10053   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 10054   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 10055 
 10056 * ZF/Update: new theory of function updates
 10057     with default rewrite rule  f(x:=y) ` z = if(z=x, y, f`z)
 10058   may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 10059 
 10060 * in  let x=t in u(x), neither t nor u(x) has to be an FOL term.
 10061 
 10062 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 10063   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 10064   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 10065 
 10066 * case_tac provided for compatibility with HOL
 10067     (like the old excluded_middle_tac, but with subgoals swapped)
 10068 
 10069 
 10070 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
 10071 
 10072 * Pure: several new basic modules made available for general use, see
 10073 also src/Pure/README;
 10074 
 10075 * improved the theory data mechanism to support encapsulation (data
 10076 kind name replaced by private Object.kind, acting as authorization
 10077 key); new type-safe user interface via functor TheoryDataFun; generic
 10078 print_data function becomes basically useless;
 10079 
 10080 * removed global_names compatibility flag -- all theory declarations
 10081 are qualified by default;
 10082 
 10083 * module Pure/Syntax now offers quote / antiquote translation
 10084 functions (useful for Hoare logic etc. with implicit dependencies);
 10085 see HOL/ex/Antiquote for an example use;
 10086 
 10087 * Simplifier now offers conversions (asm_)(full_)rewrite: simpset ->
 10088 cterm -> thm;
 10089 
 10090 * new tactical CHANGED_GOAL for checking that a tactic modifies a
 10091 subgoal;
 10092 
 10093 * Display.print_goals function moved to Locale.print_goals;
 10094 
 10095 * standard print function for goals supports current_goals_markers
 10096 variable for marking begin of proof, end of proof, start of goal; the
 10097 default is ("", "", ""); setting current_goals_markers := ("<proof>",
 10098 "</proof>", "<goal>") causes SGML like tagged proof state printing,
 10099 for example;
 10100 
 10101 
 10102 
 10103 New in Isabelle98 (January 1998)
 10104 --------------------------------
 10105 
 10106 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 10107 
 10108 * changed lexical syntax of terms / types: dots made part of long
 10109 identifiers, e.g. "%x.x" no longer possible, should be "%x. x";
 10110 
 10111 * simpset (and claset) reference variable replaced by functions
 10112 simpset / simpset_ref;
 10113 
 10114 * no longer supports theory aliases (via merge) and non-trivial
 10115 implicit merge of thms' signatures;
 10116 
 10117 * most internal names of constants changed due to qualified names;
 10118 
 10119 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML);
 10120 
 10121 
 10122 *** General Changes ***
 10123 
 10124 * hierachically structured name spaces (for consts, types, axms, thms
 10125 etc.); new lexical class 'longid' (e.g. Foo.bar.x) may render much of
 10126 old input syntactically incorrect (e.g. "%x.x"); COMPATIBILITY:
 10127 isatool fixdots ensures space after dots (e.g. "%x. x"); set
 10128 long_names for fully qualified output names; NOTE: ML programs
 10129 (special tactics, packages etc.) referring to internal names may have
 10130 to be adapted to cope with fully qualified names; in case of severe
 10131 backward campatibility problems try setting 'global_names' at compile
 10132 time to have enrything declared within a flat name space; one may also
 10133 fine tune name declarations in theories via the 'global' and 'local'
 10134 section;
 10135 
 10136 * reimplemented the implicit simpset and claset using the new anytype
 10137 data filed in signatures; references simpset:simpset ref etc. are
 10138 replaced by functions simpset:unit->simpset and
 10139 simpset_ref:unit->simpset ref; COMPATIBILITY: use isatool fixclasimp
 10140 to patch your ML files accordingly;
 10141 
 10142 * HTML output now includes theory graph data for display with Java
 10143 applet or isatool browser; data generated automatically via isatool
 10144 usedir (see -i option, ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS);
 10145 
 10146 * defs may now be conditional; improved rewrite_goals_tac to handle
 10147 conditional equations;
 10148 
 10149 * defs now admits additional type arguments, using TYPE('a) syntax;
 10150 
 10151 * theory aliases via merge (e.g. M=A+B+C) no longer supported, always
 10152 creates a new theory node; implicit merge of thms' signatures is
 10153 restricted to 'trivial' ones; COMPATIBILITY: one may have to use
 10154 transfer:theory->thm->thm in (rare) cases;
 10155 
 10156 * improved handling of draft signatures / theories; draft thms (and
 10157 ctyps, cterms) are automatically promoted to real ones;
 10158 
 10159 * slightly changed interfaces for oracles: admit many per theory, named
 10160 (e.g. oracle foo = mlfun), additional name argument for invoke_oracle;
 10161 
 10162 * print_goals: optional output of const types (set show_consts and
 10163 show_types);
 10164 
 10165 * improved output of warnings (###) and errors (***);
 10166 
 10167 * subgoal_tac displays a warning if the new subgoal has type variables;
 10168 
 10169 * removed old README and Makefiles;
 10170 
 10171 * replaced print_goals_ref hook by print_current_goals_fn and result_error_fn;
 10172 
 10173 * removed obsolete init_pps and init_database;
 10174 
 10175 * deleted the obsolete tactical STATE, which was declared by
 10176     fun STATE tacfun st = tacfun st st;
 10177 
 10178 * cd and use now support path variables, e.g. $ISABELLE_HOME, or ~
 10179 (which abbreviates $HOME);
 10180 
 10181 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML); COMPATIBILITY:
 10182 use isatool fixseq to adapt your ML programs (this works for fully
 10183 qualified references to the Sequence structure only!);
 10184 
 10185 * use_thy no longer requires writable current directory; it always
 10186 reloads .ML *and* .thy file, if either one is out of date;
 10187 
 10188 
 10189 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 10190 
 10191 * Clarify_tac, clarify_tac, clarify_step_tac, Clarify_step_tac: new
 10192 tactics that use classical reasoning to simplify a subgoal without
 10193 splitting it into several subgoals;
 10194 
 10195 * Safe_tac: like safe_tac but uses the default claset;
 10196 
 10197 
 10198 *** Simplifier ***
 10199 
 10200 * added simplification meta rules:
 10201     (asm_)(full_)simplify: simpset -> thm -> thm;
 10202 
 10203 * simplifier.ML no longer part of Pure -- has to be loaded by object
 10204 logics (again);
 10205 
 10206 * added prems argument to simplification procedures;
 10207 
 10208 * HOL, FOL, ZF: added infix function `addsplits':
 10209   instead of `<simpset> setloop (split_tac <thms>)'
 10210   you can simply write `<simpset> addsplits <thms>'
 10211 
 10212 
 10213 *** Syntax ***
 10214 
 10215 * TYPE('a) syntax for type reflection terms;
 10216 
 10217 * no longer handles consts with name "" -- declare as 'syntax' instead;
 10218 
 10219 * pretty printer: changed order of mixfix annotation preference (again!);
 10220 
 10221 * Pure: fixed idt/idts vs. pttrn/pttrns syntactic categories;
 10222 
 10223 
 10224 *** HOL ***
 10225 
 10226 * HOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 10227   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 10228 
 10229 * HOL/TLA: Stephan Merz's formalization of Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions;
 10230 
 10231 * HOL/Auth: new protocol proofs including some for the Internet
 10232   protocol TLS;
 10233 
 10234 * HOL/Map: new theory of `maps' a la VDM;
 10235 
 10236 * HOL/simplifier: simplification procedures nat_cancel_sums for
 10237 cancelling out common nat summands from =, <, <= (in)equalities, or
 10238 differences; simplification procedures nat_cancel_factor for
 10239 cancelling common factor from =, <, <= (in)equalities over natural
 10240 sums; nat_cancel contains both kinds of procedures, it is installed by
 10241 default in Arith.thy -- this COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL;
 10242 
 10243 * HOL/simplifier: terms of the form
 10244   `? x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x)'  (or t=x)
 10245   are rewritten to
 10246   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t)',
 10247   and those of the form
 10248   `! x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x) --> R(x)'  (or t=x)
 10249   are rewritten to
 10250   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t) --> R(t)',
 10251 
 10252 * HOL/datatype
 10253   Each datatype `t' now comes with a theorem `split_t_case' of the form
 10254 
 10255   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 10256      ( (!y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 --> P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) &
 10257         ...
 10258        (!y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn --> P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 10259      )
 10260 
 10261   and a theorem `split_t_case_asm' of the form
 10262 
 10263   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 10264     ~( (? y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 & ~P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) |
 10265         ...
 10266        (? y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn & ~P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 10267      )
 10268   which can be added to a simpset via `addsplits'. The existing theorems
 10269   expand_list_case and expand_option_case have been renamed to
 10270   split_list_case and split_option_case.
 10271 
 10272 * HOL/Arithmetic:
 10273   - `pred n' is automatically converted to `n-1'.
 10274     Users are strongly encouraged not to use `pred' any longer,
 10275     because it will disappear altogether at some point.
 10276   - Users are strongly encouraged to write "0 < n" rather than
 10277     "n ~= 0". Theorems and proof tools have been modified towards this
 10278     `standard'.
 10279 
 10280 * HOL/Lists:
 10281   the function "set_of_list" has been renamed "set" (and its theorems too);
 10282   the function "nth" now takes its arguments in the reverse order and
 10283   has acquired the infix notation "!" as in "xs!n".
 10284 
 10285 * HOL/Set: UNIV is now a constant and is no longer translated to Compl{};
 10286 
 10287 * HOL/Set: The operator (UN x.B x) now abbreviates (UN x:UNIV. B x) and its
 10288   specialist theorems (like UN1_I) are gone.  Similarly for (INT x.B x);
 10289 
 10290 * HOL/record: extensible records with schematic structural subtyping
 10291 (single inheritance); EXPERIMENTAL version demonstrating the encoding,
 10292 still lacks various theorems and concrete record syntax;
 10293 
 10294 
 10295 *** HOLCF ***
 10296 
 10297 * removed "axioms" and "generated by" sections;
 10298 
 10299 * replaced "ops" section by extended "consts" section, which is capable of
 10300   handling the continuous function space "->" directly;
 10301 
 10302 * domain package:
 10303   . proves theorems immediately and stores them in the theory,
 10304   . creates hierachical name space,
 10305   . now uses normal mixfix annotations (instead of cinfix...),
 10306   . minor changes to some names and values (for consistency),
 10307   . e.g. cases -> casedist, dists_eq -> dist_eqs, [take_lemma] -> take_lemmas,
 10308   . separator between mutual domain defs: changed "," to "and",
 10309   . improved handling of sort constraints;  now they have to
 10310     appear on the left-hand side of the equations only;
 10311 
 10312 * fixed LAM <x,y,zs>.b syntax;
 10313 
 10314 * added extended adm_tac to simplifier in HOLCF -- can now discharge
 10315 adm (%x. P (t x)), where P is chainfinite and t continuous;
 10316 
 10317 
 10318 *** FOL and ZF ***
 10319 
 10320 * FOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 10321   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 10322 
 10323 * qed_spec_mp, qed_goal_spec_mp, qed_goalw_spec_mp are available, as
 10324 in HOL, they strip ALL and --> from proved theorems;
 10325 
 10326 
 10327 
 10328 New in Isabelle94-8 (May 1997)
 10329 ------------------------------
 10330 
 10331 *** General Changes ***
 10332 
 10333 * new utilities to build / run / maintain Isabelle etc. (in parts
 10334 still somewhat experimental); old Makefiles etc. still functional;
 10335 
 10336 * new 'Isabelle System Manual';
 10337 
 10338 * INSTALL text, together with ./configure and ./build scripts;
 10339 
 10340 * reimplemented type inference for greater efficiency, better error
 10341 messages and clean internal interface;
 10342 
 10343 * prlim command for dealing with lots of subgoals (an easier way of
 10344 setting goals_limit);
 10345 
 10346 
 10347 *** Syntax ***
 10348 
 10349 * supports alternative (named) syntax tables (parser and pretty
 10350 printer); internal interface is provided by add_modesyntax(_i);
 10351 
 10352 * Pure, FOL, ZF, HOL, HOLCF now support symbolic input and output; to
 10353 be used in conjunction with the Isabelle symbol font; uses the
 10354 "symbols" syntax table;
 10355 
 10356 * added token_translation interface (may translate name tokens in
 10357 arbitrary ways, dependent on their type (free, bound, tfree, ...) and
 10358 the current print_mode); IMPORTANT: user print translation functions
 10359 are responsible for marking newly introduced bounds
 10360 (Syntax.mark_boundT);
 10361 
 10362 * token translations for modes "xterm" and "xterm_color" that display
 10363 names in bold, underline etc. or colors (which requires a color
 10364 version of xterm);
 10365 
 10366 * infixes may now be declared with names independent of their syntax;
 10367 
 10368 * added typed_print_translation (like print_translation, but may
 10369 access type of constant);
 10370 
 10371 
 10372 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 10373 
 10374 Blast_tac: a new tactic!  It is often more powerful than fast_tac, but has
 10375 some limitations.  Blast_tac...
 10376   + ignores addss, addbefore, addafter; this restriction is intrinsic
 10377   + ignores elimination rules that don't have the correct format
 10378         (the conclusion MUST be a formula variable)
 10379   + ignores types, which can make HOL proofs fail
 10380   + rules must not require higher-order unification, e.g. apply_type in ZF
 10381     [message "Function Var's argument not a bound variable" relates to this]
 10382   + its proof strategy is more general but can actually be slower
 10383 
 10384 * substitution with equality assumptions no longer permutes other
 10385 assumptions;
 10386 
 10387 * minor changes in semantics of addafter (now called addaltern); renamed
 10388 setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to compWrapper; added safe wrapper
 10389 (and access functions for it);
 10390 
 10391 * improved combination of classical reasoner and simplifier:
 10392   + functions for handling clasimpsets
 10393   + improvement of addss: now the simplifier is called _after_ the
 10394     safe steps.
 10395   + safe variant of addss called addSss: uses safe simplifications
 10396     _during_ the safe steps. It is more complete as it allows multiple
 10397     instantiations of unknowns (e.g. with slow_tac).
 10398 
 10399 *** Simplifier ***
 10400 
 10401 * added interface for simplification procedures (functions that
 10402 produce *proven* rewrite rules on the fly, depending on current
 10403 redex);
 10404 
 10405 * ordering on terms as parameter (used for ordered rewriting);
 10406 
 10407 * new functions delcongs, deleqcongs, and Delcongs. richer rep_ss;
 10408 
 10409 * the solver is now split into a safe and an unsafe part.
 10410 This should be invisible for the normal user, except that the
 10411 functions setsolver and addsolver have been renamed to setSolver and
 10412 addSolver; added safe_asm_full_simp_tac;
 10413 
 10414 
 10415 *** HOL ***
 10416 
 10417 * a generic induction tactic `induct_tac' which works for all datatypes and
 10418 also for type `nat';
 10419 
 10420 * a generic case distinction tactic `exhaust_tac' which works for all
 10421 datatypes and also for type `nat';
 10422 
 10423 * each datatype comes with a function `size';
 10424 
 10425 * patterns in case expressions allow tuple patterns as arguments to
 10426 constructors, for example `case x of [] => ... | (x,y,z)#ps => ...';
 10427 
 10428 * primrec now also works with type nat;
 10429 
 10430 * recdef: a new declaration form, allows general recursive functions to be
 10431 defined in theory files.  See HOL/ex/Fib, HOL/ex/Primes, HOL/Subst/Unify.
 10432 
 10433 * the constant for negation has been renamed from "not" to "Not" to
 10434 harmonize with FOL, ZF, LK, etc.;
 10435 
 10436 * HOL/ex/LFilter theory of a corecursive "filter" functional for
 10437 infinite lists;
 10438 
 10439 * HOL/Modelcheck demonstrates invocation of model checker oracle;
 10440 
 10441 * HOL/ex/Ring.thy declares cring_simp, which solves equational
 10442 problems in commutative rings, using axiomatic type classes for + and *;
 10443 
 10444 * more examples in HOL/MiniML and HOL/Auth;
 10445 
 10446 * more default rewrite rules for quantifiers, union/intersection;
 10447 
 10448 * a new constant `arbitrary == @x.False';
 10449 
 10450 * HOLCF/IOA replaces old HOL/IOA;
 10451 
 10452 * HOLCF changes: derived all rules and arities
 10453   + axiomatic type classes instead of classes
 10454   + typedef instead of faking type definitions
 10455   + eliminated the internal constants less_fun, less_cfun, UU_fun, UU_cfun etc.
 10456   + new axclasses cpo, chfin, flat with flat < chfin < pcpo < cpo < po
 10457   + eliminated the types void, one, tr
 10458   + use unit lift and bool lift (with translations) instead of one and tr
 10459   + eliminated blift from Lift3.thy (use Def instead of blift)
 10460   all eliminated rules are derived as theorems --> no visible changes ;
 10461 
 10462 
 10463 *** ZF ***
 10464 
 10465 * ZF now has Fast_tac, Simp_tac and Auto_tac.  Union_iff is a now a default
 10466 rewrite rule; this may affect some proofs.  eq_cs is gone but can be put back
 10467 as ZF_cs addSIs [equalityI];
 10468 
 10469 
 10470 
 10471 New in Isabelle94-7 (November 96)
 10472 ---------------------------------
 10473 
 10474 * allowing negative levels (as offsets) in prlev and choplev;
 10475 
 10476 * super-linear speedup for large simplifications;
 10477 
 10478 * FOL, ZF and HOL now use miniscoping: rewriting pushes
 10479 quantifications in as far as possible (COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS
 10480 FAIL); can suppress it using the command Delsimps (ex_simps @
 10481 all_simps); De Morgan laws are also now included, by default;
 10482 
 10483 * improved printing of ==>  :  ~:
 10484 
 10485 * new object-logic "Sequents" adds linear logic, while replacing LK
 10486 and Modal (thanks to Sara Kalvala);
 10487 
 10488 * HOL/Auth: correctness proofs for authentication protocols;
 10489 
 10490 * HOL: new auto_tac combines rewriting and classical reasoning (many
 10491 examples on HOL/Auth);
 10492 
 10493 * HOL: new command AddIffs for declaring theorems of the form P=Q to
 10494 the rewriter and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 10495 
 10496 * function uresult no longer returns theorems in "standard" format;
 10497 regain previous version by: val uresult = standard o uresult;
 10498 
 10499 
 10500 
 10501 New in Isabelle94-6
 10502 -------------------
 10503 
 10504 * oracles -- these establish an interface between Isabelle and trusted
 10505 external reasoners, which may deliver results as theorems;
 10506 
 10507 * proof objects (in particular record all uses of oracles);
 10508 
 10509 * Simp_tac, Fast_tac, etc. that refer to implicit simpset / claset;
 10510 
 10511 * "constdefs" section in theory files;
 10512 
 10513 * "primrec" section (HOL) no longer requires names;
 10514 
 10515 * internal type "tactic" now simply "thm -> thm Sequence.seq";
 10516 
 10517 
 10518 
 10519 New in Isabelle94-5
 10520 -------------------
 10521 
 10522 * reduced space requirements;
 10523 
 10524 * automatic HTML generation from theories;
 10525 
 10526 * theory files no longer require "..." (quotes) around most types;
 10527 
 10528 * new examples, including two proofs of the Church-Rosser theorem;
 10529 
 10530 * non-curried (1994) version of HOL is no longer distributed;
 10531 
 10532 
 10533 
 10534 New in Isabelle94-4
 10535 -------------------
 10536 
 10537 * greatly reduced space requirements;
 10538 
 10539 * theory files (.thy) no longer require \...\ escapes at line breaks;
 10540 
 10541 * searchable theorem database (see the section "Retrieving theorems" on
 10542 page 8 of the Reference Manual);
 10543 
 10544 * new examples, including Grabczewski's monumental case study of the
 10545 Axiom of Choice;
 10546 
 10547 * The previous version of HOL renamed to Old_HOL;
 10548 
 10549 * The new version of HOL (previously called CHOL) uses a curried syntax
 10550 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b);
 10551 
 10552 * Mutually recursive inductive definitions finally work in HOL;
 10553 
 10554 * In ZF, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions and
 10555 translates to the operator "split";
 10556 
 10557 
 10558 
 10559 New in Isabelle94-3
 10560 -------------------
 10561 
 10562 * new infix operator, addss, allowing the classical reasoner to
 10563 perform simplification at each step of its search.  Example:
 10564         fast_tac (cs addss ss)
 10565 
 10566 * a new logic, CHOL, the same as HOL, but with a curried syntax
 10567 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b).  Also pairs
 10568 look like (a,b) instead of <a,b>;
 10569 
 10570 * PLEASE NOTE: CHOL will eventually replace HOL!
 10571 
 10572 * In CHOL, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions.
 10573 It translates to the operator "split".  A new theory of integers is available;
 10574 
 10575 * In ZF, integer numerals now denote two's-complement binary integers.
 10576 Arithmetic operations can be performed by rewriting.  See ZF/ex/Bin.ML;
 10577 
 10578 * Many new examples: I/O automata, Church-Rosser theorem, equivalents
 10579 of the Axiom of Choice;
 10580 
 10581 
 10582 
 10583 New in Isabelle94-2
 10584 -------------------
 10585 
 10586 * Significantly faster resolution;
 10587 
 10588 * the different sections in a .thy file can now be mixed and repeated
 10589 freely;
 10590 
 10591 * Database of theorems for FOL, HOL and ZF.  New
 10592 commands including qed, qed_goal and bind_thm store theorems in the database.
 10593 
 10594 * Simple database queries: return a named theorem (get_thm) or all theorems of
 10595 a given theory (thms_of), or find out what theory a theorem was proved in
 10596 (theory_of_thm);
 10597
