     1 Isabelle NEWS -- history user-relevant changes
     2 ==============================================
     3 
     4 New in Isabelle2013-1 (November 2013)
     5 -------------------------------------
     6 
     7 *** General ***
     8 
     9 * Discontinued obsolete 'uses' within theory header.  Note that
    10 commands like 'ML_file' work without separate declaration of file
    11 dependencies.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    12 
    13 * Discontinued redundant 'use' command, which was superseded by
    14 'ML_file' in Isabelle2013.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    15 
    16 * Simplified subscripts within identifiers, using plain \<^sub>
    17 instead of the second copy \<^isub> and \<^isup>.  Superscripts are
    18 only for literal tokens within notation; explicit mixfix annotations
    19 for consts or fixed variables may be used as fall-back for unusual
    20 names.  Obsolete \<twosuperior> has been expanded to \<^sup>2 in
    21 Isabelle/HOL.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "isabelle update_sub_sup" to
    22 standardize symbols as a starting point for further manual cleanup.
    23 The ML reference variable "legacy_isub_isup" may be set as temporary
    24 workaround, to make the prover accept a subset of the old identifier
    25 syntax.
    26 
    27 * Document antiquotations: term style "isub" has been renamed to
    28 "sub".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    29 
    30 * Uniform management of "quick_and_dirty" as system option (see also
    31 "isabelle options"), configuration option within the context (see also
    32 Config.get in Isabelle/ML), and attribute in Isabelle/Isar.  Minor
    33 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use more official Isabelle means to access
    34 quick_and_dirty, instead of historical poking into mutable reference.
    35 
    36 * Renamed command 'print_configs' to 'print_options'.  Minor
    37 INCOMPATIBILITY.
    38 
    39 * Proper diagnostic command 'print_state'.  Old 'pr' (with its
    40 implicit change of some global references) is retained for now as
    41 control command, e.g. for ProofGeneral 3.7.x.
    42 
    43 * Discontinued 'print_drafts' command with its old-fashioned PS output
    44 and Unix command-line print spooling.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: use
    45 'display_drafts' instead and print via the regular document viewer.
    46 
    47 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual,
    48 eliminated old "ref" manual.
    49 
    50 
    51 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
    52 
    53 * New manual "jedit" for Isabelle/jEdit, see isabelle doc or
    54 Documentation panel.
    55 
    56 * Dockable window "Documentation" provides access to Isabelle
    57 documentation.
    58 
    59 * Dockable window "Find" provides query operations for formal entities
    60 (GUI front-end to 'find_theorems' command).
    61 
    62 * Dockable window "Sledgehammer" manages asynchronous / parallel
    63 sledgehammer runs over existing document sources, independently of
    64 normal editing and checking process.
    65 
    66 * Dockable window "Timing" provides an overview of relevant command
    67 timing information.
    68 
    69 * Improved dockable window "Theories": Continuous checking of proof
    70 document (visible and required parts) may be controlled explicitly,
    71 using check box or shortcut "C+e ENTER".  Individual theory nodes may
    72 be marked explicitly as required and checked in full, using check box
    73 or shortcut "C+e SPACE".
    74 
    75 * Strictly monotonic document update, without premature cancellation of
    76 running transactions that are still needed: avoid reset/restart of
    77 such command executions while editing.
    78 
    79 * Improved completion mechanism, which is now managed by the
    80 Isabelle/jEdit plugin instead of SideKick.  Refined table of Isabelle
    81 symbol abbreviations (see $ISABELLE_HOME/etc/symbols).
    82 
    83 * Support for asynchronous print functions, as overlay to existing
    84 document content.
    85 
    86 * Support for automatic tools in HOL, which try to prove or disprove
    87 toplevel theorem statements.
    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 * File specifications in jEdit (e.g. file browser) may refer to
    94 $ISABELLE_HOME on all platforms.  Discontinued obsolete
    95 $ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS variable.
    96 
    97 * Improved support for Linux look-and-feel "GTK+", see also "Utilities
    98 / Global Options / Appearance".
    99 
   100 * Improved support of native Mac OS X functionality via "MacOSX"
   101 plugin, which is now enabled by default.
   102 
   103 
   104 *** Pure ***
   105 
   106 * Target-sensitive commands 'interpretation' and 'sublocale'.
   107 Particularly, 'interpretation' now allows for non-persistent
   108 interpretation within "context ... begin ... end" blocks.  See
   109 "isar-ref" manual for details.
   110 
   111 * Improved locales diagnostic command 'print_dependencies'.
   112 
   113 * Discontinued obsolete 'axioms' command, which has been marked as
   114 legacy since Isabelle2009-2.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use 'axiomatization'
   115 instead, while observing its uniform scope for polymorphism.
   116 
   117 * Discontinued empty name bindings in 'axiomatization'.
   118 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   119 
   120 * System option "proofs" has been discontinued.  Instead the global
   121 state of Proofterm.proofs is persistently compiled into logic images
   122 as required, notably HOL-Proofs.  Users no longer need to change
   123 Proofterm.proofs dynamically.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   124 
   125 * Syntax translation functions (print_translation etc.) always depend
   126 on Proof.context.  Discontinued former "(advanced)" option -- this is
   127 now the default.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   128 
   129 * Former global reference trace_unify_fail is now available as
   130 configuration option "unify_trace_failure" (global context only).
   131 
   132 * SELECT_GOAL now retains the syntactic context of the overall goal
   133 state (schematic variables etc.).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare
   134 situations.
   135 
   136 
   137 *** HOL ***
   138 
   139 * Stronger precedence of syntax for big intersection and union on
   140 sets, in accordance with corresponding lattice operations.
   141 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   142 
   143 * Notation "{p:A. P}" now allows tuple patterns as well.
   144 
   145 * Nested case expressions are now translated in a separate check phase
   146 rather than during parsing. The data for case combinators is separated
   147 from the datatype package. The declaration attribute
   148 "case_translation" can be used to register new case combinators:
   149 
   150   declare [[case_translation case_combinator constructor1 ... constructorN]]
   151 
   152 * Code generator:
   153   - 'code_printing' unifies 'code_const' / 'code_type' / 'code_class' /
   154     'code_instance'.
   155   - 'code_identifier' declares name hints for arbitrary identifiers in
   156     generated code, subsuming 'code_modulename'.
   157 
   158 See the isar-ref manual for syntax diagrams, and the HOL theories for
   159 examples.
   160 
   161 * Attibute 'code': 'code' now declares concrete and abstract code
   162 equations uniformly.  Use explicit 'code equation' and 'code abstract'
   163 to distinguish both when desired.
   164 
   165 * Discontinued theories Code_Integer and Efficient_Nat by a more
   166 fine-grain stack of theories Code_Target_Int, Code_Binary_Nat,
   167 Code_Target_Nat and Code_Target_Numeral.  See the tutorial on code
   168 generation for details.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   169 
   170 * Numeric types are mapped by default to target language numerals:
   171 natural (replaces former code_numeral) and integer (replaces former
   172 code_int).  Conversions are available as integer_of_natural /
   173 natural_of_integer / integer_of_nat / nat_of_integer (in HOL) and
   174 Code_Numeral.integer_of_natural / Code_Numeral.natural_of_integer (in
   175 ML).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   176 
   177 * Function package: For mutually recursive functions f and g, separate
   178 cases rules f.cases and g.cases are generated instead of unusable
   179 f_g.cases which exposed internal sum types. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
   180 in the case that the unusable rule was used nevertheless.
   181 
   182 * Function package: For each function f, new rules f.elims are
   183 generated, which eliminate equalities of the form "f x = t".
   184 
   185 * New command 'fun_cases' derives ad-hoc elimination rules for
   186 function equations as simplified instances of f.elims, analogous to
   187 inductive_cases.  See ~~/src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy for some examples.
   188 
   189 * Lifting:
   190   - parametrized correspondence relations are now supported:
   191     + parametricity theorems for the raw term can be specified in 
   192       the command lift_definition, which allow us to generate stronger
   193       transfer rules
   194     + setup_lifting generates stronger transfer rules if parametric
   195       correspondence relation can be generated
   196     + various new properties of the relator must be specified to support
   197       parametricity
   198     + parametricity theorem for the Quotient relation can be specified
   199   - setup_lifting generates domain rules for the Transfer package
   200   - stronger reflexivity prover of respectfulness theorems for type
   201     copies
   202   - ===> and --> are now local. The symbols can be introduced
   203     by interpreting the locale lifting_syntax (typically in an
   204     anonymous context)
   205   - Lifting/Transfer relevant parts of Library/Quotient_* are now in 
   206     Main. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
   207   - new commands for restoring and deleting Lifting/Transfer context:
   208     lifting_forget, lifting_update
   209   - the command print_quotmaps was renamed to print_quot_maps. 
   210     INCOMPATIBILITY
   211 
   212 * Transfer:
   213   - better support for domains in Transfer: replace Domainp T 
   214     by the actual invariant in a transferred goal
   215   - transfer rules can have as assumptions other transfer rules
   216   - Experimental support for transferring from the raw level to the
   217     abstract level: Transfer.transferred attribute
   218   - Attribute version of the transfer method: untransferred attribute
   219 
   220 * Reification and reflection:
   221   - Reification is now directly available in HOL-Main in structure
   222     "Reification".
   223   - Reflection now handles multiple lists with variables also.
   224   - The whole reflection stack has been decomposed into conversions.
   225 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   226 
   227 * Revised devices for recursive definitions over finite sets:
   228   - Only one fundamental fold combinator on finite set remains:
   229     Finite_Set.fold :: ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
   230     This is now identity on infinite sets.
   231   - Locales ("mini packages") for fundamental definitions with
   232     Finite_Set.fold: folding, folding_idem.
   233   - Locales comm_monoid_set, semilattice_order_set and
   234     semilattice_neutr_order_set for big operators on sets.
   235     See theory Big_Operators for canonical examples.
   236     Note that foundational constants comm_monoid_set.F and
   237     semilattice_set.F correspond to former combinators fold_image
   238     and fold1 respectively.  These are now gone.  You may use
   239     those foundational constants as substitutes, but it is
   240     preferable to interpret the above locales accordingly.
   241   - Dropped class ab_semigroup_idem_mult (special case of lattice,
   242     no longer needed in connection with Finite_Set.fold etc.)
   243   - Fact renames:
   244       card.union_inter ~> card_Un_Int [symmetric]
   245       card.union_disjoint ~> card_Un_disjoint
   246 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   247 
   248 * Locale hierarchy for abstract orderings and (semi)lattices.
   249 
   250 * Complete_Partial_Order.admissible is defined outside the type class
   251 ccpo, but with mandatory prefix ccpo. Admissibility theorems lose the
   252 class predicate assumption or sort constraint when possible.
   253 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   254 
   255 * Introduce type class "conditionally_complete_lattice": Like a
   256 complete lattice but does not assume the existence of the top and
   257 bottom elements.  Allows to generalize some lemmas about reals and
   258 extended reals.  Removed SupInf and replaced it by the instantiation
   259 of conditionally_complete_lattice for real. Renamed lemmas about
   260 conditionally-complete lattice from Sup_... to cSup_... and from
   261 Inf_...  to cInf_... to avoid hidding of similar complete lattice
   262 lemmas.
   263 
   264 * Introduce type class linear_continuum as combination of
   265 conditionally-complete lattices and inner dense linorders which have
   266 more than one element.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   267 
   268 * Introduced type classes order_top and order_bot. The old classes top
   269 and bot only contain the syntax without assumptions.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
   270 Rename bot -> order_bot, top -> order_top
   271 
   272 * Introduce type classes "no_top" and "no_bot" for orderings without
   273 top and bottom elements.
   274 
   275 * Split dense_linorder into inner_dense_order and no_top, no_bot.
   276 
   277 * Complex_Main: Unify and move various concepts from
   278 HOL-Multivariate_Analysis to HOL-Complex_Main.
   279 
   280  - Introduce type class (lin)order_topology and
   281    linear_continuum_topology.  Allows to generalize theorems about
   282    limits and order.  Instances are reals and extended reals.
   283 
   284  - continuous and continuos_on from Multivariate_Analysis:
   285    "continuous" is the continuity of a function at a filter.  "isCont"
   286    is now an abbrevitation: "isCont x f == continuous (at _) f".
   287 
   288    Generalized continuity lemmas from isCont to continuous on an
   289    arbitrary filter.
   290 
   291  - compact from Multivariate_Analysis. Use Bolzano's lemma to prove
   292    compactness of closed intervals on reals. Continuous functions
   293    attain infimum and supremum on compact sets. The inverse of a
   294    continuous function is continuous, when the function is continuous
   295    on a compact set.
   296 
   297  - connected from Multivariate_Analysis. Use it to prove the
   298    intermediate value theorem. Show connectedness of intervals on
   299    linear_continuum_topology).
   300 
   301  - first_countable_topology from Multivariate_Analysis. Is used to
   302    show equivalence of properties on the neighbourhood filter of x and
   303    on all sequences converging to x.
   304 
   305  - FDERIV: Definition of has_derivative moved to Deriv.thy. Moved
   306    theorems from Library/FDERIV.thy to Deriv.thy and base the
   307    definition of DERIV on FDERIV. Add variants of DERIV and FDERIV
   308    which are restricted to sets, i.e. to represent derivatives from
   309    left or right.
   310 
   311  - Removed the within-filter. It is replaced by the principal filter:
   312 
   313      F within X = inf F (principal X)
   314 
   315  - Introduce "at x within U" as a single constant, "at x" is now an
   316    abbreviation for "at x within UNIV"
   317 
   318  - Introduce named theorem collections tendsto_intros,
   319    continuous_intros, continuous_on_intros and FDERIV_intros. Theorems
   320    in tendsto_intros (or FDERIV_intros) are also available as
   321    tendsto_eq_intros (or FDERIV_eq_intros) where the right-hand side
   322    is replaced by a congruence rule. This allows to apply them as
   323    intro rules and then proving equivalence by the simplifier.
   324 
   325  - Restructured theories in HOL-Complex_Main:
   326 
   327    + Moved RealDef and RComplete into Real
   328 
   329    + Introduced Topological_Spaces and moved theorems about
   330      topological spaces, filters, limits and continuity to it
   331 
   332    + Renamed RealVector to Real_Vector_Spaces
   333 
   334    + Split Lim, SEQ, Series into Topological_Spaces,
   335      Real_Vector_Spaces, and Limits
   336 
   337    + Moved Ln and Log to Transcendental
   338 
   339    + Moved theorems about continuity from Deriv to Topological_Spaces
   340 
   341  - Remove various auxiliary lemmas.
   342 
   343 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   344 
   345 * Nitpick:
   346   - Added option "spy"
   347   - Reduce incidence of "too high arity" errors
   348 
   349 * Sledgehammer:
   350   - Renamed option:
   351       isar_shrink ~> isar_compress
   352     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   353   - Added options "isar_try0", "spy"
   354   - Better support for "isar_proofs"
   355   - MaSh has been fined-tuned and now runs as a local server
   356 
   357 * Improved support for ad hoc overloading of constants (see also
   358 isar-ref manual and ~~/src/HOL/ex/Adhoc_Overloading_Examples.thy).
   359 
   360 * Library/Polynomial.thy:
   361   - Use lifting for primitive definitions.
   362   - Explicit conversions from and to lists of coefficients, used for
   363     generated code.
   364   - Replaced recursion operator poly_rec by fold_coeffs.
   365   - Prefer pre-existing gcd operation for gcd.
   366   - Fact renames:
   367     poly_eq_iff ~> poly_eq_poly_eq_iff
   368     poly_ext ~> poly_eqI
   369     expand_poly_eq ~> poly_eq_iff
   370 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
   371 
   372 * New Library/Simps_Case_Conv.thy: Provides commands simps_of_case and
   373 case_of_simps to convert function definitions between a list of
   374 equations with patterns on the lhs and a single equation with case
   375 expressions on the rhs. See also Ex/Simps_Case_Conv_Examples.thy.
   376 
   377 * New Library/FSet.thy: type of finite sets defined as a subtype of
   378 sets defined by Lifting/Transfer.
   379 
   380 * Discontinued theory src/HOL/Library/Eval_Witness.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   381 
   382 * Consolidation of library theories on product orders:
   383 
   384     Product_Lattice ~> Product_Order -- pointwise order on products
   385     Product_ord ~> Product_Lexorder -- lexicographic order on products
   386 
   387 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   388 
   389 * Imperative-HOL: The MREC combinator is considered legacy and no
   390 longer included by default. INCOMPATIBILITY, use partial_function
   391 instead, or import theory Legacy_Mrec as a fallback.
   392 
   393 * HOL-Algebra: Discontinued theories ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/abstract and
   394 ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/poly.  Existing theories should be based on
   395 ~~/src/HOL/Library/Polynomial instead.  The latter provides
   396 integration with HOL's type classes for rings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   397 
   398 * HOL-BNF:
   399   - Various improvements to BNF-based (co)datatype package, including
   400     new commands "primrec_new", "primcorec", and
   401     "datatype_new_compat", as well as documentation. See
   402     "datatypes.pdf" for details.
   403   - New "coinduction" method to avoid some boilerplate (compared to
   404     coinduct).
   405   - Renamed keywords:
   406     data ~> datatype_new
   407     codata ~> codatatype
   408     bnf_def ~> bnf
   409   - Renamed many generated theorems, including
   410     discs ~> disc
   411     map_comp' ~> map_comp
   412     map_id' ~> map_id
   413     sels ~> sel
   414     set_map' ~> set_map
   415     sets ~> set
   416 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
   417 
   418 
   419 *** ML ***
   420 
   421 * Spec_Check is a Quickcheck tool for Isabelle/ML.  The ML function
   422 "check_property" allows to check specifications of the form "ALL x y
   423 z. prop x y z".  See also ~~/src/Tools/Spec_Check/ with its
   424 Examples.thy in particular.
   425 
   426 * Improved printing of exception trace in Poly/ML 5.5.1, with regular
   427 tracing output in the command transaction context instead of physical
   428 stdout.  See also Toplevel.debug, Toplevel.debugging and
   429 ML_Compiler.exn_trace.
   430 
   431 * ML type "theory" is now immutable, without any special treatment of
   432 drafts or linear updates (which could lead to "stale theory" errors in
   433 the past).  Discontinued obsolete operations like Theory.copy,
   434 Theory.checkpoint, and the auxiliary type theory_ref.  Minor
   435 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   436 
   437 * More uniform naming of goal functions for skipped proofs:
   438 
   439     Skip_Proof.prove  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry
   440     Skip_Proof.prove_global  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry_global
   441 
   442 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   443 
   444 * Simplifier tactics and tools use proper Proof.context instead of
   445 historic type simpset.  Old-style declarations like addsimps,
   446 addsimprocs etc. operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type simpset
   447 retains its use as snapshot of the main Simplifier context, using
   448 simpset_of and put_simpset on Proof.context.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- port
   449 old tools by making them depend on (ctxt : Proof.context) instead of
   450 (ss : simpset), then turn (simpset_of ctxt) into ctxt.
   451 
   452 * Modifiers for classical wrappers (e.g. addWrapper, delWrapper)
   453 operate on Proof.context instead of claset, for uniformity with addIs,
   454 addEs, addDs etc. Note that claset_of and put_claset allow to manage
   455 clasets separately from the context.
   456 
   457 * Discontinued obsolete ML antiquotations @{claset} and @{simpset}.
   458 INCOMPATIBILITY, use @{context} instead.
   459 
   460 * Antiquotation @{theory_context A} is similar to @{theory A}, but
   461 presents the result as initial Proof.context.
   462 
   463 
   464 *** System ***
   465 
   466 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle usedir, mkdir, make -- superseded by
   467 "isabelle build" in Isabelle2013.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   468 
   469 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle-process options -f and -u (former
   470 administrative aliases of option -e).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   471 
   472 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle print tool, and PRINT_COMMAND
   473 settings variable.
   474 
   475 * Discontinued ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT settings variable and historic
   476 document formats: dvi.gz, ps, ps.gz -- the default document format is
   477 always pdf.
   478 
   479 * Isabelle settings variable ISABELLE_BUILD_JAVA_OPTIONS allows to
   480 specify global resources of the JVM process run by isabelle build.
   481 
   482 * Toplevel executable $ISABELLE_HOME/bin/isabelle_scala_script allows
   483 to run Isabelle/Scala source files as standalone programs.
   484 
   485 * Improved "isabelle keywords" tool (for old-style ProofGeneral
   486 keyword tables): use Isabelle/Scala operations, which inspect outer
   487 syntax without requiring to build sessions first.
   488 
   489 * Sessions may be organized via 'chapter' specifications in the ROOT
   490 file, which determines a two-level hierarchy of browser info.  The old
   491 tree-like organization via implicit sub-session relation (with its
   492 tendency towards erratic fluctuation of URLs) has been discontinued.
   493 The default chapter is called "Unsorted".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
   494 for HTML presentation of theories.
   495 
   496 
   497 
   498 New in Isabelle2013 (February 2013)
   499 -----------------------------------
   500 
   501 *** General ***
   502 
   503 * Theorem status about oracles and unfinished/failed future proofs is
   504 no longer printed by default, since it is incompatible with
   505 incremental / parallel checking of the persistent document model.  ML
   506 function Thm.peek_status may be used to inspect a snapshot of the
   507 ongoing evaluation process.  Note that in batch mode --- notably
   508 isabelle build --- the system ensures that future proofs of all
   509 accessible theorems in the theory context are finished (as before).
   510 
   511 * Configuration option show_markup controls direct inlining of markup
   512 into the printed representation of formal entities --- notably type
   513 and sort constraints.  This enables Prover IDE users to retrieve that
   514 information via tooltips in the output window, for example.
   515 
   516 * Command 'ML_file' evaluates ML text from a file directly within the
   517 theory, without any predeclaration via 'uses' in the theory header.
   518 
   519 * Old command 'use' command and corresponding keyword 'uses' in the
   520 theory header are legacy features and will be discontinued soon.
   521 Tools that load their additional source files may imitate the
   522 'ML_file' implementation, such that the system can take care of
   523 dependencies properly.
   524 
   525 * Discontinued obsolete method fastsimp / tactic fast_simp_tac, which
   526 is called fastforce / fast_force_tac already since Isabelle2011-1.
   527 
   528 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual, reduced
   529 remaining material in old "ref" manual.
   530 
   531 * Improved support for auxiliary contexts that indicate block structure
   532 for specifications.  Nesting of "context fixes ... context assumes ..."
   533 and "class ... context ...".
   534 
   535 * Attribute "consumes" allows a negative value as well, which is
   536 interpreted relatively to the total number of premises of the rule in
   537 the target context.  This form of declaration is stable when exported
   538 from a nested 'context' with additional assumptions.  It is the
   539 preferred form for definitional packages, notably cases/rules produced
   540 in HOL/inductive and HOL/function.
   541 
   542 * More informative error messages for Isar proof commands involving
   543 lazy enumerations (method applications etc.).
   544 
   545 * Refined 'help' command to retrieve outer syntax commands according
   546 to name patterns (with clickable results).
   547 
   548 
   549 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
   550 
   551 * Parallel terminal proofs ('by') are enabled by default, likewise
   552 proofs that are built into packages like 'datatype', 'function'.  This
   553 allows to "run ahead" checking the theory specifications on the
   554 surface, while the prover is still crunching on internal
   555 justifications.  Unfinished / cancelled proofs are restarted as
   556 required to complete full proof checking eventually.
   557 
   558 * Improved output panel with tooltips, hyperlinks etc. based on the
   559 same Rich_Text_Area as regular Isabelle/jEdit buffers.  Activation of
   560 tooltips leads to some window that supports the same recursively,
   561 which can lead to stacks of tooltips as the semantic document content
   562 is explored.  ESCAPE closes the whole stack, individual windows may be
   563 closed separately, or detached to become independent jEdit dockables.
   564 
   565 * Improved support for commands that produce graph output: the text
   566 message contains a clickable area to open a new instance of the graph
   567 browser on demand.
   568 
   569 * More robust incremental parsing of outer syntax (partial comments,
   570 malformed symbols).  Changing the balance of open/close quotes and
   571 comment delimiters works more conveniently with unfinished situations
   572 that frequently occur in user interaction.
   573 
   574 * More efficient painting and improved reactivity when editing large
   575 files.  More scalable management of formal document content.
   576 
   577 * Smarter handling of tracing messages: prover process pauses after
   578 certain number of messages per command transaction, with some user
   579 dialog to stop or continue.  This avoids swamping the front-end with
   580 potentially infinite message streams.
   581 
   582 * More plugin options and preferences, based on Isabelle/Scala.  The
   583 jEdit plugin option panel provides access to some Isabelle/Scala
   584 options, including tuning parameters for editor reactivity and color
   585 schemes.
   586 
   587 * Dockable window "Symbols" provides some editing support for Isabelle
   588 symbols.
   589 
   590 * Dockable window "Monitor" shows ML runtime statistics.  Note that
   591 continuous display of the chart slows down the system.
   592 
   593 * Improved editing support for control styles: subscript, superscript,
   594 bold, reset of style -- operating on single symbols or text
   595 selections.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C+e DOWN/UP/RIGHT/LEFT.
   596 
   597 * Actions isabelle.increase-font-size and isabelle.decrease-font-size
   598 adjust the main text area font size, and its derivatives for output,
   599 tooltips etc.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C-PLUS and C-MINUS, which often
   600 need to be adapted to local keyboard layouts.
   601 
   602 * More reactive completion popup by default: use \t (TAB) instead of
   603 \n (NEWLINE) to minimize intrusion into regular flow of editing.  See
   604 also "Plugin Options / SideKick / General / Code Completion Options".
   605 
   606 * Implicit check and build dialog of the specified logic session
   607 image.  For example, HOL, HOLCF, HOL-Nominal can be produced on
   608 demand, without bundling big platform-dependent heap images in the
   609 Isabelle distribution.
   610 
   611 * Uniform Java 7 platform on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows: recent updates
   612 from Oracle provide better multi-platform experience.  This version is
   613 now bundled exclusively with Isabelle.
   614 
   615 
   616 *** Pure ***
   617 
   618 * Code generation for Haskell: restrict unqualified imports from
   619 Haskell Prelude to a small set of fundamental operations.
   620 
   621 * Command 'export_code': relative file names are interpreted
   622 relatively to master directory of current theory rather than the
   623 rather arbitrary current working directory.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   624 
   625 * Discontinued obsolete attribute "COMP".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
   626 use regular rule composition via "OF" / "THEN", or explicit proof
   627 structure instead.  Note that Isabelle/ML provides a variety of
   628 operators like COMP, INCR_COMP, COMP_INCR, which need to be applied
   629 with some care where this is really required.
   630 
   631 * Command 'typ' supports an additional variant with explicit sort
   632 constraint, to infer and check the most general type conforming to a
   633 given sort.  Example (in HOL):
   634 
   635   typ "_ * _ * bool * unit" :: finite
   636 
   637 * Command 'locale_deps' visualizes all locales and their relations as
   638 a Hasse diagram.
   639 
   640 
   641 *** HOL ***
   642 
   643 * Sledgehammer:
   644 
   645   - Added MaSh relevance filter based on machine-learning; see the
   646     Sledgehammer manual for details.
   647   - Polished Isar proofs generated with "isar_proofs" option.
   648   - Rationalized type encodings ("type_enc" option).
   649   - Renamed "kill_provers" subcommand to "kill_all".
   650   - Renamed options:
   651       isar_proof ~> isar_proofs
   652       isar_shrink_factor ~> isar_shrink
   653       max_relevant ~> max_facts
   654       relevance_thresholds ~> fact_thresholds
   655 
   656 * Quickcheck: added an optimisation for equality premises.  It is
   657 switched on by default, and can be switched off by setting the
   658 configuration quickcheck_optimise_equality to false.
   659 
   660 * Quotient: only one quotient can be defined by quotient_type
   661 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   662 
   663 * Lifting:
   664   - generation of an abstraction function equation in lift_definition
   665   - quot_del attribute
   666   - renamed no_abs_code -> no_code (INCOMPATIBILITY.)
   667 
   668 * Simproc "finite_Collect" rewrites set comprehensions into pointfree
   669 expressions.
   670 
   671 * Preprocessing of the code generator rewrites set comprehensions into
   672 pointfree expressions.
   673 
   674 * The SMT solver Z3 has now by default a restricted set of directly
   675 supported features. For the full set of features (div/mod, nonlinear
   676 arithmetic, datatypes/records) with potential proof reconstruction
   677 failures, enable the configuration option "z3_with_extensions".  Minor
   678 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   679 
   680 * Simplified 'typedef' specifications: historical options for implicit
   681 set definition and alternative name have been discontinued.  The
   682 former behavior of "typedef (open) t = A" is now the default, but
   683 written just "typedef t = A".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt theories
   684 accordingly.
   685 
   686 * Removed constant "chars"; prefer "Enum.enum" on type "char"
   687 directly.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   688 
   689 * Moved operation product, sublists and n_lists from theory Enum to
   690 List.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   691 
   692 * Theorem UN_o generalized to SUP_comp.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   693 
   694 * Class "comm_monoid_diff" formalises properties of bounded
   695 subtraction, with natural numbers and multisets as typical instances.
   696 
   697 * Added combinator "Option.these" with type "'a option set => 'a set".
   698 
   699 * Theory "Transitive_Closure": renamed lemmas
   700 
   701   reflcl_tranclp -> reflclp_tranclp
   702   rtranclp_reflcl -> rtranclp_reflclp
   703 
   704 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   705 
   706 * Theory "Rings": renamed lemmas (in class semiring)
   707 
   708   left_distrib ~> distrib_right
   709   right_distrib ~> distrib_left
   710 
   711 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   712 
   713 * Generalized the definition of limits:
   714 
   715   - Introduced the predicate filterlim (LIM x F. f x :> G) which
   716     expresses that when the input values x converge to F then the
   717     output f x converges to G.
   718 
   719   - Added filters for convergence to positive (at_top) and negative
   720     infinity (at_bot).
   721 
   722   - Moved infinity in the norm (at_infinity) from
   723     Multivariate_Analysis to Complex_Main.
   724 
   725   - Removed real_tendsto_inf, it is superseded by "LIM x F. f x :>
   726     at_top".
   727 
   728 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   729 
   730 * Theory "Library/Option_ord" provides instantiation of option type to
   731 lattice type classes.
   732 
   733 * Theory "Library/Multiset": renamed
   734 
   735     constant fold_mset ~> Multiset.fold
   736     fact fold_mset_commute ~> fold_mset_comm
   737 
   738 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   739 
   740 * Renamed theory Library/List_Prefix to Library/Sublist, with related
   741 changes as follows.
   742 
   743   - Renamed constants (and related lemmas)
   744 
   745       prefix ~> prefixeq
   746       strict_prefix ~> prefix
   747 
   748   - Replaced constant "postfix" by "suffixeq" with swapped argument
   749     order (i.e., "postfix xs ys" is now "suffixeq ys xs") and dropped
   750     old infix syntax "xs >>= ys"; use "suffixeq ys xs" instead.
   751     Renamed lemmas accordingly.
   752 
   753   - Added constant "list_hembeq" for homeomorphic embedding on
   754     lists. Added abbreviation "sublisteq" for special case
   755     "list_hembeq (op =)".
   756 
   757   - Theory Library/Sublist no longer provides "order" and "bot" type
   758     class instances for the prefix order (merely corresponding locale
   759     interpretations). The type class instances are now in theory
   760     Library/Prefix_Order.
   761 
   762   - The sublist relation of theory Library/Sublist_Order is now based
   763     on "Sublist.sublisteq".  Renamed lemmas accordingly:
   764 
   765       le_list_append_le_same_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append_le_same_iff
   766       le_list_append_mono ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_append_mono
   767       le_list_below_empty ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil, Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil2
   768       le_list_Cons_EX ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_ConsD
   769       le_list_drop_Cons2 ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2'
   770       le_list_drop_Cons_neq ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2_neq
   771       le_list_drop_Cons ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons'
   772       le_list_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_drop_many
   773       le_list_filter_left ~> Sublist.sublisteq_filter_left
   774       le_list_rev_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_rev_drop_many
   775       le_list_rev_take_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append
   776       le_list_same_length ~> Sublist.sublisteq_same_length
   777       le_list_take_many_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append'
   778       less_eq_list.drop ~> less_eq_list_drop
   779       less_eq_list.induct ~> less_eq_list_induct
   780       not_le_list_length ~> Sublist.not_sublisteq_length
   781 
   782 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   783 
   784 * New theory Library/Countable_Set.
   785 
   786 * Theory Library/Debug and Library/Parallel provide debugging and
   787 parallel execution for code generated towards Isabelle/ML.
   788 
   789 * Theory Library/FuncSet: Extended support for Pi and extensional and
   790 introduce the extensional dependent function space "PiE". Replaced
   791 extensional_funcset by an abbreviation, and renamed lemmas from
   792 extensional_funcset to PiE as follows:
   793 
   794   extensional_empty  ~>  PiE_empty
   795   extensional_funcset_empty_domain  ~>  PiE_empty_domain
   796   extensional_funcset_empty_range  ~>  PiE_empty_range
   797   extensional_funcset_arb  ~>  PiE_arb
   798   extensional_funcset_mem  ~>  PiE_mem
   799   extensional_funcset_extend_domainI  ~>  PiE_fun_upd
   800   extensional_funcset_restrict_domain  ~>  fun_upd_in_PiE
   801   extensional_funcset_extend_domain_eq  ~>  PiE_insert_eq
   802   card_extensional_funcset  ~>  card_PiE
   803   finite_extensional_funcset  ~>  finite_PiE
   804 
   805 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   806 
   807 * Theory Library/FinFun: theory of almost everywhere constant
   808 functions (supersedes the AFP entry "Code Generation for Functions as
   809 Data").
   810 
   811 * Theory Library/Phantom: generic phantom type to make a type
   812 parameter appear in a constant's type.  This alternative to adding
   813 TYPE('a) as another parameter avoids unnecessary closures in generated
   814 code.
   815 
   816 * Theory Library/RBT_Impl: efficient construction of red-black trees
   817 from sorted associative lists. Merging two trees with rbt_union may
   818 return a structurally different tree than before.  Potential
   819 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   820 
   821 * Theory Library/IArray: immutable arrays with code generation.
   822 
   823 * Theory Library/Finite_Lattice: theory of finite lattices.
   824 
   825 * HOL/Multivariate_Analysis: replaced
   826 
   827   "basis :: 'a::euclidean_space => nat => real"
   828   "\<Chi>\<Chi> :: (nat => real) => 'a::euclidean_space"
   829 
   830 on euclidean spaces by using the inner product "_ \<bullet> _" with
   831 vectors from the Basis set: "\<Chi>\<Chi> i. f i" is superseded by
   832 "SUM i : Basis. f i * r i".
   833 
   834   With this change the following constants are also changed or removed:
   835 
   836     DIM('a) :: nat  ~>  card (Basis :: 'a set)   (is an abbreviation)
   837     a $$ i  ~>  inner a i  (where i : Basis)
   838     cart_base i  removed
   839     \<pi>, \<pi>'  removed
   840 
   841   Theorems about these constants where removed.
   842 
   843   Renamed lemmas:
   844 
   845     component_le_norm  ~>  Basis_le_norm
   846     euclidean_eq  ~>  euclidean_eq_iff
   847     differential_zero_maxmin_component  ~>  differential_zero_maxmin_cart
   848     euclidean_simps  ~>  inner_simps
   849     independent_basis  ~>  independent_Basis

   852     norm_bound_component_le  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_le
   853     norm_bound_component_lt  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_lt
   854     component_le_infnorm  ~>  Basis_le_infnorm
   855 
   856 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   857 
   858 * HOL/Probability:
   859 
   860   - Added simproc "measurable" to automatically prove measurability.
   861 
   862   - Added induction rules for sigma sets with disjoint union
   863     (sigma_sets_induct_disjoint) and for Borel-measurable functions
   864     (borel_measurable_induct).
   865 
   866   - Added the Daniell-Kolmogorov theorem (the existence the limit of a
   867     projective family).
   868 
   869 * HOL/Cardinals: Theories of ordinals and cardinals (supersedes the
   870 AFP entry "Ordinals_and_Cardinals").
   871 
   872 * HOL/BNF: New (co)datatype package based on bounded natural functors
   873 with support for mixed, nested recursion and interesting non-free
   874 datatypes.
   875 
   876 * HOL/Finite_Set and Relation: added new set and relation operations
   877 expressed by Finite_Set.fold.
   878 
   879 * New theory HOL/Library/RBT_Set: implementation of sets by red-black
   880 trees for the code generator.
   881 
   882 * HOL/Library/RBT and HOL/Library/Mapping have been converted to
   883 Lifting/Transfer.
   884 possible INCOMPATIBILITY.
   885 
   886 * HOL/Set: renamed Set.project -> Set.filter
   887 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   888 
   889 
   890 *** Document preparation ***
   891 
   892 * Dropped legacy antiquotations "term_style" and "thm_style", since
   893 styles may be given as arguments to "term" and "thm" already.
   894 Discontinued legacy styles "prem1" .. "prem19".
   895 
   896 * Default LaTeX rendering for \<euro> is now based on eurosym package,
   897 instead of slightly exotic babel/greek.
   898 
   899 * Document variant NAME may use different LaTeX entry point
   900 document/root_NAME.tex if that file exists, instead of the common
   901 document/root.tex.
   902 
   903 * Simplified custom document/build script, instead of old-style
   904 document/IsaMakefile.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   905 
   906 
   907 *** ML ***
   908 
   909 * The default limit for maximum number of worker threads is now 8,
   910 instead of 4, in correspondence to capabilities of contemporary
   911 hardware and Poly/ML runtime system.
   912 
   913 * Type Seq.results and related operations support embedded error
   914 messages within lazy enumerations, and thus allow to provide
   915 informative errors in the absence of any usable results.
   916 
   917 * Renamed Position.str_of to Position.here to emphasize that this is a
   918 formal device to inline positions into message text, but not
   919 necessarily printing visible text.
   920 
   921 
   922 *** System ***
   923 
   924 * Advanced support for Isabelle sessions and build management, see
   925 "system" manual for the chapter of that name, especially the "isabelle
   926 build" tool and its examples.  The "isabelle mkroot" tool prepares
   927 session root directories for use with "isabelle build", similar to
   928 former "isabelle mkdir" for "isabelle usedir".  Note that this affects
   929 document preparation as well.  INCOMPATIBILITY, isabelle usedir /
   930 mkdir / make are rendered obsolete.
   931 
   932 * Discontinued obsolete Isabelle/build script, it is superseded by the
   933 regular isabelle build tool.  For example:
   934 
   935   isabelle build -s -b HOL
   936 
   937 * Discontinued obsolete "isabelle makeall".
   938 
   939 * Discontinued obsolete IsaMakefile and ROOT.ML files from the
   940 Isabelle distribution, except for rudimentary src/HOL/IsaMakefile that
   941 provides some traditional targets that invoke "isabelle build".  Note
   942 that this is inefficient!  Applications of Isabelle/HOL involving
   943 "isabelle make" should be upgraded to use "isabelle build" directly.
   944 
   945 * The "isabelle options" tool prints Isabelle system options, as
   946 required for "isabelle build", for example.
   947 
   948 * The "isabelle logo" tool produces EPS and PDF format simultaneously.
   949 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY in command-line options.
   950 
   951 * The "isabelle install" tool has now a simpler command-line.  Minor
   952 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   953 
   954 * The "isabelle components" tool helps to resolve add-on components
   955 that are not bundled, or referenced from a bare-bones repository
   956 version of Isabelle.
   957 
   958 * Settings variable ISABELLE_PLATFORM_FAMILY refers to the general
   959 platform family: "linux", "macos", "windows".
   960 
   961 * The ML system is configured as regular component, and no longer
   962 picked up from some surrounding directory.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
   963 for home-made settings.
   964 
   965 * Improved ML runtime statistics (heap, threads, future tasks etc.).
   966 
   967 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2.1, which was the last version
   968 without exception positions and advanced ML compiler/toplevel
   969 configuration.
   970 
   971 * Discontinued special treatment of Proof General -- no longer guess
   972 PROOFGENERAL_HOME based on accidental file-system layout.  Minor
   973 INCOMPATIBILITY: provide PROOFGENERAL_HOME and PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS
   974 settings manually, or use a Proof General version that has been
   975 bundled as Isabelle component.
   976 
   977 
   978 
   979 New in Isabelle2012 (May 2012)
   980 ------------------------------
   981 
   982 *** General ***
   983 
   984 * Prover IDE (PIDE) improvements:
   985 
   986   - more robust Sledgehammer integration (as before the sledgehammer
   987     command-line needs to be typed into the source buffer)
   988   - markup for bound variables
   989   - markup for types of term variables (displayed as tooltips)
   990   - support for user-defined Isar commands within the running session
   991   - improved support for Unicode outside original 16bit range
   992     e.g. glyph for \<A> (thanks to jEdit 4.5.1)
   993 
   994 * Forward declaration of outer syntax keywords within the theory
   995 header -- minor INCOMPATIBILITY for user-defined commands.  Allow new
   996 commands to be used in the same theory where defined.
   997 
   998 * Auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for specifications with
   999 additional parameters and assumptions.  Such unnamed contexts may be
  1000 nested within other targets, like 'theory', 'locale', 'class',
  1001 'instantiation' etc.  Results from the local context are generalized
  1002 accordingly and applied to the enclosing target context.  Example:
  1003 
  1004   context
  1005     fixes x y z :: 'a
  1006     assumes xy: "x = y" and yz: "y = z"
  1007   begin
  1008 
  1009   lemma my_trans: "x = z" using xy yz by simp
  1010 
  1011   end
  1012 
  1013   thm my_trans
  1014 
  1015 The most basic application is to factor-out context elements of
  1016 several fixes/assumes/shows theorem statements, e.g. see
  1017 ~~/src/HOL/Isar_Examples/Group_Context.thy
  1018 
  1019 Any other local theory specification element works within the "context
  1020 ... begin ... end" block as well.
  1021 
  1022 * Bundled declarations associate attributed fact expressions with a
  1023 given name in the context.  These may be later included in other
  1024 contexts.  This allows to manage context extensions casually, without
  1025 the logical dependencies of locales and locale interpretation.  See
  1026 commands 'bundle', 'include', 'including' etc. in the isar-ref manual.
  1027 
  1028 * Commands 'lemmas' and 'theorems' allow local variables using 'for'
  1029 declaration, and results are standardized before being stored.  Thus
  1030 old-style "standard" after instantiation or composition of facts
  1031 becomes obsolete.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, due to potential change of
  1032 indices of schematic variables.
  1033 
  1034 * Rule attributes in local theory declarations (e.g. locale or class)
  1035 are now statically evaluated: the resulting theorem is stored instead
  1036 of the original expression.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  1037 the historic accident of dynamic re-evaluation in interpretations
  1038 etc. was exploited.
  1039 
  1040 * New tutorial "Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL"
  1041 ("prog-prove").  It completely supersedes "A Tutorial Introduction to
  1042 Structured Isar Proofs" ("isar-overview"), which has been removed.  It
  1043 also supersedes "Isabelle/HOL, A Proof Assistant for Higher-Order
  1044 Logic" as the recommended beginners tutorial, but does not cover all
  1045 of the material of that old tutorial.
  1046 
  1047 * Updated and extended reference manuals: "isar-ref",
  1048 "implementation", "system"; reduced remaining material in old "ref"
  1049 manual.
  1050 
  1051 
  1052 *** Pure ***
  1053 
  1054 * Command 'definition' no longer exports the foundational "raw_def"
  1055 into the user context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, may use the regular
  1056 "def" result with attribute "abs_def" to imitate the old version.
  1057 
  1058 * Attribute "abs_def" turns an equation of the form "f x y == t" into
  1059 "f == %x y. t", which ensures that "simp" or "unfold" steps always
  1060 expand it.  This also works for object-logic equality.  (Formerly
  1061 undocumented feature.)
  1062 
  1063 * Sort constraints are now propagated in simultaneous statements, just
  1064 like type constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  1065 distinct sorts used to be assigned accidentally.  For example:
  1066 
  1067   lemma "P (x::'a::foo)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"  -- "now illegal"
  1068 
  1069   lemma "P (x::'a)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"
  1070     -- "now uniform 'a::bar instead of default sort for first occurrence (!)"
  1071 
  1072 * Rule composition via attribute "OF" (or ML functions OF/MRS) is more
  1073 tolerant against multiple unifiers, as long as the final result is
  1074 unique.  (As before, rules are composed in canonical right-to-left
  1075 order to accommodate newly introduced premises.)
  1076 
  1077 * Renamed some inner syntax categories:
  1078 
  1079     num ~> num_token
  1080     xnum ~> xnum_token
  1081     xstr ~> str_token
  1082 
  1083 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that in practice "num_const" or
  1084 "num_position" etc. are mainly used instead (which also include
  1085 position information via constraints).
  1086 
  1087 * Simplified configuration options for syntax ambiguity: see
  1088 "syntax_ambiguity_warning" and "syntax_ambiguity_limit" in isar-ref
  1089 manual.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1090 
  1091 * Discontinued configuration option "syntax_positions": atomic terms
  1092 in parse trees are always annotated by position constraints.
  1093 
  1094 * Old code generator for SML and its commands 'code_module',
  1095 'code_library', 'consts_code', 'types_code' have been discontinued.
  1096 Use commands of the generic code generator instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1097 
  1098 * Redundant attribute "code_inline" has been discontinued. Use
  1099 "code_unfold" instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1100 
  1101 * Dropped attribute "code_unfold_post" in favor of the its dual
  1102 "code_abbrev", which yields a common pattern in definitions like
  1103 
  1104   definition [code_abbrev]: "f = t"
  1105 
  1106 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1107 
  1108 * Obsolete 'types' command has been discontinued.  Use 'type_synonym'
  1109 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1110 
  1111 * Discontinued old "prems" fact, which used to refer to the accidental
  1112 collection of foundational premises in the context (already marked as
  1113 legacy since Isabelle2011).
  1114 
  1115 
  1116 *** HOL ***
  1117 
  1118 * Type 'a set is now a proper type constructor (just as before
  1119 Isabelle2008).  Definitions mem_def and Collect_def have disappeared.
  1120 Non-trivial INCOMPATIBILITY.  For developments keeping predicates and
  1121 sets separate, it is often sufficient to rephrase some set S that has
  1122 been accidentally used as predicates by "%x. x : S", and some
  1123 predicate P that has been accidentally used as set by "{x. P x}".
  1124 Corresponding proofs in a first step should be pruned from any
  1125 tinkering with former theorems mem_def and Collect_def as far as
  1126 possible.
  1127 
  1128 For developments which deliberately mix predicates and sets, a
  1129 planning step is necessary to determine what should become a predicate
  1130 and what a set.  It can be helpful to carry out that step in
  1131 Isabelle2011-1 before jumping right into the current release.
  1132 
  1133 * Code generation by default implements sets as container type rather
  1134 than predicates.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1135 
  1136 * New type synonym 'a rel = ('a * 'a) set
  1137 
  1138 * The representation of numerals has changed.  Datatype "num"
  1139 represents strictly positive binary numerals, along with functions
  1140 "numeral :: num => 'a" and "neg_numeral :: num => 'a" to represent
  1141 positive and negated numeric literals, respectively.  See also
  1142 definitions in ~~/src/HOL/Num.thy.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, some
  1143 user theories may require adaptations as follows:
  1144 
  1145   - Theorems with number_ring or number_semiring constraints: These
  1146     classes are gone; use comm_ring_1 or comm_semiring_1 instead.
  1147 
  1148   - Theories defining numeric types: Remove number, number_semiring,
  1149     and number_ring instances. Defer all theorems about numerals until
  1150     after classes one and semigroup_add have been instantiated.
  1151 
  1152   - Numeral-only simp rules: Replace each rule having a "number_of v"
  1153     pattern with two copies, one for numeral and one for neg_numeral.
  1154 
  1155   - Theorems about subclasses of semiring_1 or ring_1: These classes
  1156     automatically support numerals now, so more simp rules and
  1157     simprocs may now apply within the proof.
  1158 
  1159   - Definitions and theorems using old constructors Pls/Min/Bit0/Bit1:
  1160     Redefine using other integer operations.
  1161 
  1162 * Transfer: New package intended to generalize the existing
  1163 "descending" method and related theorem attributes from the Quotient
  1164 package.  (Not all functionality is implemented yet, but future
  1165 development will focus on Transfer as an eventual replacement for the
  1166 corresponding parts of the Quotient package.)
  1167 
  1168   - transfer_rule attribute: Maintains a collection of transfer rules,
  1169     which relate constants at two different types. Transfer rules may
  1170     relate different type instances of the same polymorphic constant,
  1171     or they may relate an operation on a raw type to a corresponding
  1172     operation on an abstract type (quotient or subtype). For example:
  1173 
  1174     ((A ===> B) ===> list_all2 A ===> list_all2 B) map map
  1175     (cr_int ===> cr_int ===> cr_int) (%(x,y) (u,v). (x+u, y+v)) plus_int
  1176 
  1177   - transfer method: Replaces a subgoal on abstract types with an
  1178     equivalent subgoal on the corresponding raw types. Constants are
  1179     replaced with corresponding ones according to the transfer rules.
  1180     Goals are generalized over all free variables by default; this is
  1181     necessary for variables whose types change, but can be overridden
  1182     for specific variables with e.g. "transfer fixing: x y z".  The
  1183     variant transfer' method allows replacing a subgoal with one that
  1184     is logically stronger (rather than equivalent).
  1185 
  1186   - relator_eq attribute: Collects identity laws for relators of
  1187     various type constructors, e.g. "list_all2 (op =) = (op =)".  The
  1188     transfer method uses these lemmas to infer transfer rules for
  1189     non-polymorphic constants on the fly.
  1190 
  1191   - transfer_prover method: Assists with proving a transfer rule for a
  1192     new constant, provided the constant is defined in terms of other
  1193     constants that already have transfer rules. It should be applied
  1194     after unfolding the constant definitions.
  1195 
  1196   - HOL/ex/Transfer_Int_Nat.thy: Example theory demonstrating transfer
  1197     from type nat to type int.
  1198 
  1199 * Lifting: New package intended to generalize the quotient_definition
  1200 facility of the Quotient package; designed to work with Transfer.
  1201 
  1202   - lift_definition command: Defines operations on an abstract type in
  1203     terms of a corresponding operation on a representation
  1204     type.  Example syntax:
  1205 
  1206     lift_definition dlist_insert :: "'a => 'a dlist => 'a dlist"
  1207       is List.insert
  1208 
  1209     Users must discharge a respectfulness proof obligation when each
  1210     constant is defined. (For a type copy, i.e. a typedef with UNIV,
  1211     the proof is discharged automatically.) The obligation is
  1212     presented in a user-friendly, readable form; a respectfulness
  1213     theorem in the standard format and a transfer rule are generated
  1214     by the package.
  1215 
  1216   - Integration with code_abstype: For typedefs (e.g. subtypes
  1217     corresponding to a datatype invariant, such as dlist),
  1218     lift_definition generates a code certificate theorem and sets up
  1219     code generation for each constant.
  1220 
  1221   - setup_lifting command: Sets up the Lifting package to work with a
  1222     user-defined type. The user must provide either a quotient theorem
  1223     or a type_definition theorem.  The package configures transfer
  1224     rules for equality and quantifiers on the type, and sets up the
  1225     lift_definition command to work with the type.
  1226 
  1227   - Usage examples: See Quotient_Examples/Lift_DList.thy,
  1228     Quotient_Examples/Lift_RBT.thy, Quotient_Examples/Lift_FSet.thy,
  1229     Word/Word.thy and Library/Float.thy.
  1230 
  1231 * Quotient package:
  1232 
  1233   - The 'quotient_type' command now supports a 'morphisms' option with
  1234     rep and abs functions, similar to typedef.
  1235 
  1236   - 'quotient_type' sets up new types to work with the Lifting and
  1237     Transfer packages, as with 'setup_lifting'.
  1238 
  1239   - The 'quotient_definition' command now requires the user to prove a
  1240     respectfulness property at the point where the constant is
  1241     defined, similar to lift_definition; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1242 
  1243   - Renamed predicate 'Quotient' to 'Quotient3', and renamed theorems
  1244     accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1245 
  1246 * New diagnostic command 'find_unused_assms' to find potentially
  1247 superfluous assumptions in theorems using Quickcheck.
  1248 
  1249 * Quickcheck:
  1250 
  1251   - Quickcheck returns variable assignments as counterexamples, which
  1252     allows to reveal the underspecification of functions under test.
  1253     For example, refuting "hd xs = x", it presents the variable
  1254     assignment xs = [] and x = a1 as a counterexample, assuming that
  1255     any property is false whenever "hd []" occurs in it.
  1256 
  1257     These counterexample are marked as potentially spurious, as
  1258     Quickcheck also returns "xs = []" as a counterexample to the
  1259     obvious theorem "hd xs = hd xs".
  1260 
  1261     After finding a potentially spurious counterexample, Quickcheck
  1262     continues searching for genuine ones.
  1263 
  1264     By default, Quickcheck shows potentially spurious and genuine
  1265     counterexamples. The option "genuine_only" sets quickcheck to only
  1266     show genuine counterexamples.
  1267 
  1268   - The command 'quickcheck_generator' creates random and exhaustive
  1269     value generators for a given type and operations.
  1270 
  1271     It generates values by using the operations as if they were
  1272     constructors of that type.
  1273 
  1274   - Support for multisets.
  1275 
  1276   - Added "use_subtype" options.
  1277 
  1278   - Added "quickcheck_locale" configuration to specify how to process
  1279     conjectures in a locale context.
  1280 
  1281 * Nitpick: Fixed infinite loop caused by the 'peephole_optim' option
  1282 and affecting 'rat' and 'real'.
  1283 
  1284 * Sledgehammer:
  1285   - Integrated more tightly with SPASS, as described in the ITP 2012
  1286     paper "More SPASS with Isabelle".
  1287   - Made it try "smt" as a fallback if "metis" fails or times out.
  1288   - Added support for the following provers: Alt-Ergo (via Why3 and
  1289     TFF1), iProver, iProver-Eq.
  1290   - Sped up the minimizer.
  1291   - Added "lam_trans", "uncurry_aliases", and "minimize" options.
  1292   - Renamed "slicing" ("no_slicing") option to "slice" ("dont_slice").
  1293   - Renamed "sound" option to "strict".
  1294 
  1295 * Metis: Added possibility to specify lambda translations scheme as a
  1296 parenthesized argument (e.g., "by (metis (lifting) ...)").
  1297 
  1298 * SMT: Renamed "smt_fixed" option to "smt_read_only_certificates".
  1299 
  1300 * Command 'try0': Renamed from 'try_methods'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1301 
  1302 * New "case_product" attribute to generate a case rule doing multiple
  1303 case distinctions at the same time.  E.g.
  1304 
  1305   list.exhaust [case_product nat.exhaust]
  1306 
  1307 produces a rule which can be used to perform case distinction on both
  1308 a list and a nat.
  1309 
  1310 * New "eventually_elim" method as a generalized variant of the
  1311 eventually_elim* rules.  Supports structured proofs.
  1312 
  1313 * Typedef with implicit set definition is considered legacy.  Use
  1314 "typedef (open)" form instead, which will eventually become the
  1315 default.
  1316 
  1317 * Record: code generation can be switched off manually with
  1318 
  1319   declare [[record_coden = false]]  -- "default true"
  1320 
  1321 * Datatype: type parameters allow explicit sort constraints.
  1322 
  1323 * Concrete syntax for case expressions includes constraints for source
  1324 positions, and thus produces Prover IDE markup for its bindings.
  1325 INCOMPATIBILITY for old-style syntax translations that augment the
  1326 pattern notation; e.g. see src/HOL/HOLCF/One.thy for translations of
  1327 one_case.
  1328 
  1329 * Clarified attribute "mono_set": pure declaration without modifying
  1330 the result of the fact expression.
  1331 
  1332 * More default pred/set conversions on a couple of relation operations
  1333 and predicates.  Added powers of predicate relations.  Consolidation
  1334 of some relation theorems:
  1335 
  1336   converse_def ~> converse_unfold
  1337   rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
  1338   symp_def ~> (modified, use symp_def and sym_def instead)
  1339   transp_def ~> transp_trans
  1340   Domain_def ~> Domain_unfold
  1341   Range_def ~> Domain_converse [symmetric]
  1342 
  1343 Generalized theorems INF_INT_eq, INF_INT_eq2, SUP_UN_eq, SUP_UN_eq2.
  1344 
  1345 See theory "Relation" for examples for making use of pred/set
  1346 conversions by means of attributes "to_set" and "to_pred".
  1347 
  1348 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1349

  1728 * New theory HOL/Library/DAList provides an abstract type for
  1729 association lists with distinct keys.
  1730 
  1731 * Session HOL/IMP: Added new theory of abstract interpretation of
  1732 annotated commands.
  1733 
  1734 * Session HOL-Import: Re-implementation from scratch is faster,
  1735 simpler, and more scalable.  Requires a proof bundle, which is
  1736 available as an external component.  Discontinued old (and mostly
  1737 dead) Importer for HOL4 and HOL Light.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1738 
  1739 * Session HOL-Word: Discontinued many redundant theorems specific to
  1740 type 'a word. INCOMPATIBILITY, use the corresponding generic theorems
  1741 instead.

  1785 * Session HOL-Word: New proof method "word_bitwise" for splitting
  1786 machine word equalities and inequalities into logical circuits,
  1787 defined in HOL/Word/WordBitwise.thy.  Supports addition, subtraction,
  1788 multiplication, shifting by constants, bitwise operators and numeric
  1789 constants.  Requires fixed-length word types, not 'a word.  Solves
  1790 many standard word identities outright and converts more into first
  1791 order problems amenable to blast or similar.  See also examples in
  1792 HOL/Word/Examples/WordExamples.thy.
  1793 
  1794 * Session HOL-Probability: Introduced the type "'a measure" to
  1795 represent measures, this replaces the records 'a algebra and 'a
  1796 measure_space.  The locales based on subset_class now have two
  1797 locale-parameters the space \<Omega> and the set of measurable sets M.
  1798 The product of probability spaces uses now the same constant as the
  1799 finite product of sigma-finite measure spaces "PiM :: ('i => 'a)
  1800 measure".  Most constants are defined now outside of locales and gain
  1801 an additional parameter, like null_sets, almost_eventually or \<mu>'.
  1802 Measure space constructions for distributions and densities now got
  1803 their own constants distr and density.  Instead of using locales to
  1804 describe measure spaces with a finite space, the measure count_space
  1805 and point_measure is introduced.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1806 
  1807   Renamed constants:

  1811   product_prob_space.emb -> prod_emb

  1824   pair_finite_space
  1825   pair_sigma_algebra
  1826   product_sigma_algebra
  1827 
  1828   Removed constants:
  1829   conditional_space
  1830   distribution -> use distr measure, or distributed predicate
  1831   image_space
  1832   joint_distribution -> use distr measure, or distributed predicate

  1967 * Session HOL-TPTP: support to parse and import TPTP problems (all
  1968 languages) into Isabelle/HOL.
  1969 
  1970 
  1971 *** FOL ***
  1972 
  1973 * New "case_product" attribute (see HOL).
  1974 
  1975 
  1976 *** ZF ***
  1977 
  1978 * Greater support for structured proofs involving induction or case
  1979 analysis.
  1980 
  1981 * Much greater use of mathematical symbols.
  1982 
  1983 * Removal of many ML theorem bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1984 
  1985 
  1986 *** ML ***
  1987 
  1988 * Antiquotation @{keyword "name"} produces a parser for outer syntax
  1989 from a minor keyword introduced via theory header declaration.
  1990 
  1991 * Antiquotation @{command_spec "name"} produces the
  1992 Outer_Syntax.command_spec from a major keyword introduced via theory
  1993 header declaration; it can be passed to Outer_Syntax.command etc.
  1994 
  1995 * Local_Theory.define no longer hard-wires default theorem name
  1996 "foo_def", but retains the binding as given.  If that is Binding.empty
  1997 / Attrib.empty_binding, the result is not registered as user-level
  1998 fact.  The Local_Theory.define_internal variant allows to specify a
  1999 non-empty name (used for the foundation in the background theory),
  2000 while omitting the fact binding in the user-context.  Potential
  2001 INCOMPATIBILITY for derived definitional packages: need to specify
  2002 naming policy for primitive definitions more explicitly.
  2003 
  2004 * Renamed Thm.capply to Thm.apply, and Thm.cabs to Thm.lambda in
  2005 conformance with similar operations in structure Term and Logic.
  2006 
  2007 * Antiquotation @{attributes [...]} embeds attribute source
  2008 representation into the ML text, which is particularly useful with
  2009 declarations like Local_Theory.note.
  2010 
  2011 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  2012 ProofContext has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2013 
  2014 * Refined Local_Theory.declaration {syntax, pervasive}, with subtle
  2015 change of semantics: update is applied to auxiliary local theory
  2016 context as well.
  2017 
  2018 * Modernized some old-style infix operations:
  2019 
  2020   addeqcongs    ~> Simplifier.add_eqcong
  2021   deleqcongs    ~> Simplifier.del_eqcong

  2032 
  2033 
  2034 *** System ***
  2035 
  2036 * USER_HOME settings variable points to cross-platform user home
  2037 directory, which coincides with HOME on POSIX systems only.  Likewise,
  2038 the Isabelle path specification "~" now expands to $USER_HOME, instead
  2039 of former $HOME.  A different default for USER_HOME may be set
  2040 explicitly in shell environment, before Isabelle settings are
  2041 evaluated.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: need to adapt Isabelle path where
  2042 the generic user home was intended.
  2043 
  2044 * ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS refers to ISABELLE_HOME in windows file name
  2045 notation, which is useful for the jEdit file browser, for example.
  2046 
  2047 * ISABELLE_JDK_HOME settings variable points to JDK with javac and jar
  2048 (not just JRE).
  2049

  2051 
  2052 New in Isabelle2011-1 (October 2011)
  2053 ------------------------------------
  2054 
  2055 *** General ***
  2056 
  2057 * Improved Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE (PIDE), which can be invoked as
  2058 "isabelle jedit" or "ISABELLE_HOME/Isabelle" on the command line.
  2059 
  2060   - Management of multiple theory files directly from the editor
  2061     buffer store -- bypassing the file-system (no requirement to save
  2062     files for checking).
  2063 
  2064   - Markup of formal entities within the text buffer, with semantic
  2065     highlighting, tooltips and hyperlinks to jump to defining source
  2066     positions.
  2067 
  2068   - Improved text rendering, with sub/superscripts in the source
  2069     buffer (including support for copy/paste wrt. output panel, HTML
  2070     theory output and other non-Isabelle text boxes).
  2071 
  2072   - Refined scheduling of proof checking and printing of results,
  2073     based on interactive editor view.  (Note: jEdit folding and
  2074     narrowing allows to restrict buffer perspectives explicitly.)
  2075 
  2076   - Reduced CPU performance requirements, usable on machines with few
  2077     cores.
  2078 
  2079   - Reduced memory requirements due to pruning of unused document
  2080     versions (garbage collection).
  2081 
  2082 See also ~~/src/Tools/jEdit/README.html for further information,
  2083 including some remaining limitations.
  2084 
  2085 * Theory loader: source files are exclusively located via the master
  2086 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  2087 The global load path (such as src/HOL/Library) has been discontinued.
  2088 Note that the path element ~~ may be used to reference theories in the
  2089 Isabelle home folder -- for instance, "~~/src/HOL/Library/FuncSet".
  2090 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2091 
  2092 * Theory loader: source files are identified by content via SHA1
  2093 digests.  Discontinued former path/modtime identification and optional
  2094 ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT plugin scripts.
  2095 
  2096 * Parallelization of nested Isar proofs is subject to
  2097 Goal.parallel_proofs_threshold (default 100).  See also isabelle
  2098 usedir option -Q.
  2099 
  2100 * Name space: former unsynchronized references are now proper
  2101 configuration options, with more conventional names:
  2102 
  2103   long_names   ~> names_long
  2104   short_names  ~> names_short
  2105   unique_names ~> names_unique
  2106 
  2107 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, need to declare options in context like this:
  2108 
  2109   declare [[names_unique = false]]
  2110 
  2111 * Literal facts `prop` may contain dummy patterns, e.g. `_ = _`.  Note
  2112 that the result needs to be unique, which means fact specifications
  2113 may have to be refined after enriching a proof context.
  2114 
  2115 * Attribute "case_names" has been refined: the assumptions in each case
  2116 can be named now by following the case name with [name1 name2 ...].
  2117 
  2118 * Isabelle/Isar reference manual has been updated and extended:
  2119   - "Synopsis" provides a catalog of main Isar language concepts.
  2120   - Formal references in syntax diagrams, via @{rail} antiquotation.
  2121   - Updated material from classic "ref" manual, notably about
  2122     "Classical Reasoner".
  2123 
  2124 
  2125 *** HOL ***
  2126 
  2127 * Class bot and top require underlying partial order rather than
  2128 preorder: uniqueness of bot and top is guaranteed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2129 
  2130 * Class complete_lattice: generalized a couple of lemmas from sets;
  2131 generalized theorems INF_cong and SUP_cong.  New type classes for
  2132 complete boolean algebras and complete linear orders.  Lemmas
  2133 Inf_less_iff, less_Sup_iff, INF_less_iff, less_SUP_iff now reside in
  2134 class complete_linorder.
  2135 
  2136 Changed proposition of lemmas Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, Inf_fun_def,
  2137 Sup_fun_def, Inf_apply, Sup_apply.
  2138 
  2139 Removed redundant lemmas (the right hand side gives hints how to
  2140 replace them for (metis ...), or (simp only: ...) proofs):
  2141 
  2142   Inf_singleton ~> Inf_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Inf_empty inf_top_right]
  2143   Sup_singleton ~> Sup_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Sup_empty sup_bot_right]
  2144   Inf_binary ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  2145   Sup_binary ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  2146   Int_eq_Inter ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  2147   Un_eq_Union ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  2148   Inter_def ~> INF_def, image_def
  2149   Union_def ~> SUP_def, image_def
  2150   INT_eq ~> INF_def, and image_def
  2151   UN_eq ~> SUP_def, and image_def
  2152   INF_subset ~> INF_superset_mono [OF _ order_refl]
  2153 
  2154 More consistent and comprehensive names:
  2155 
  2156   INTER_eq_Inter_image ~> INF_def
  2157   UNION_eq_Union_image ~> SUP_def
  2158   INFI_def ~> INF_def
  2159   SUPR_def ~> SUP_def
  2160   INF_leI ~> INF_lower
  2161   INF_leI2 ~> INF_lower2
  2162   le_INFI ~> INF_greatest
  2163   le_SUPI ~> SUP_upper
  2164   le_SUPI2 ~> SUP_upper2
  2165   SUP_leI ~> SUP_least
  2166   INFI_bool_eq ~> INF_bool_eq
  2167   SUPR_bool_eq ~> SUP_bool_eq
  2168   INFI_apply ~> INF_apply
  2169   SUPR_apply ~> SUP_apply
  2170   INTER_def ~> INTER_eq
  2171   UNION_def ~> UNION_eq
  2172 
  2173 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2174 
  2175 * Renamed theory Complete_Lattice to Complete_Lattices.
  2176 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2177 
  2178 * Theory Complete_Lattices: lemmas Inf_eq_top_iff, INF_eq_top_iff,
  2179 INF_image, Inf_insert, INF_top, Inf_top_conv, INF_top_conv, SUP_bot,
  2180 Sup_bot_conv, SUP_bot_conv, Sup_eq_top_iff, SUP_eq_top_iff, SUP_image,
  2181 Sup_insert are now declared as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2182 
  2183 * Theory Lattice: lemmas compl_inf_bot, compl_le_comp_iff,
  2184 compl_sup_top, inf_idem, inf_left_idem, inf_sup_absorb, sup_idem,
  2185 sup_inf_absob, sup_left_idem are now declared as [simp].  Minor
  2186 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2187 
  2188 * Added syntactic classes "inf" and "sup" for the respective
  2189 constants.  INCOMPATIBILITY: Changes in the argument order of the
  2190 (mostly internal) locale predicates for some derived classes.
  2191 
  2192 * Theorem collections ball_simps and bex_simps do not contain theorems
  2193 referring to UNION any longer; these have been moved to collection
  2194 UN_ball_bex_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2195 
  2196 * Theory Archimedean_Field: floor now is defined as parameter of a
  2197 separate type class floor_ceiling.
  2198 
  2199 * Theory Finite_Set: more coherent development of fold_set locales:
  2200 
  2201     locale fun_left_comm ~> locale comp_fun_commute
  2202     locale fun_left_comm_idem ~> locale comp_fun_idem
  2203 
  2204 Both use point-free characterization; interpretation proofs may need
  2205 adjustment.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2206 
  2207 * Theory Limits: Type "'a net" has been renamed to "'a filter", in
  2208 accordance with standard mathematical terminology. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2209 
  2210 * Theory Complex_Main: The locale interpretations for the
  2211 bounded_linear and bounded_bilinear locales have been removed, in
  2212 order to reduce the number of duplicate lemmas. Users must use the
  2213 original names for distributivity theorems, potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2308 
  2309 * Theory Complex_Main: The definition of infinite series was
  2310 generalized.  Now it is defined on the type class {topological_space,
  2311 comm_monoid_add}.  Hence it is useable also for extended real numbers.
  2312 
  2313 * Theory Complex_Main: The complex exponential function "expi" is now
  2314 a type-constrained abbreviation for "exp :: complex => complex"; thus
  2315 several polymorphic lemmas about "exp" are now applicable to "expi".
  2316 
  2317 * Code generation:
  2318 
  2319   - Theory Library/Code_Char_ord provides native ordering of
  2320     characters in the target language.
  2321 
  2322   - Commands code_module and code_library are legacy, use export_code
  2323     instead.
  2324 
  2325   - Method "evaluation" is legacy, use method "eval" instead.
  2326 
  2327   - Legacy evaluator "SML" is deactivated by default.  May be
  2328     reactivated by the following theory command:
  2329 
  2330       setup {* Value.add_evaluator ("SML", Codegen.eval_term) *}
  2331 
  2332 * Declare ext [intro] by default.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2333 
  2334 * New proof method "induction" that gives induction hypotheses the
  2335 name "IH", thus distinguishing them from further hypotheses that come
  2336 from rule induction.  The latter are still called "hyps".  Method
  2337 "induction" is a thin wrapper around "induct" and follows the same
  2338 syntax.
  2339 
  2340 * Method "fastsimp" has been renamed to "fastforce", but "fastsimp" is
  2341 still available as a legacy feature for some time.
  2342 
  2343 * Nitpick:
  2344   - Added "need" and "total_consts" options.
  2345   - Reintroduced "show_skolems" option by popular demand.
  2346   - Renamed attribute: nitpick_def ~> nitpick_unfold.
  2347     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2348 
  2349 * Sledgehammer:
  2350   - Use quasi-sound (and efficient) translations by default.
  2351   - Added support for the following provers: E-ToFoF, LEO-II,
  2352     Satallax, SNARK, Waldmeister, and Z3 with TPTP syntax.
  2353   - Automatically preplay and minimize proofs before showing them if
  2354     this can be done within reasonable time.
  2355   - sledgehammer available_provers ~> sledgehammer supported_provers.
  2356     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2357   - Added "preplay_timeout", "slicing", "type_enc", "sound",
  2358     "max_mono_iters", and "max_new_mono_instances" options.
  2359   - Removed "explicit_apply" and "full_types" options as well as "Full
  2360     Types" Proof General menu item. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2361 
  2362 * Metis:
  2363   - Removed "metisF" -- use "metis" instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2364   - Obsoleted "metisFT" -- use "metis (full_types)" instead.
  2365     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2366 
  2367 * Command 'try':
  2368   - Renamed 'try_methods' and added "simp:", "intro:", "dest:", and
  2369     "elim:" options. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2370   - Introduced 'try' that not only runs 'try_methods' but also
  2371     'solve_direct', 'sledgehammer', 'quickcheck', and 'nitpick'.
  2372 
  2373 * Quickcheck:
  2374   - Added "eval" option to evaluate terms for the found counterexample
  2375     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  2376   - Added post-processing of terms to obtain readable counterexamples
  2377     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  2378   - New counterexample generator quickcheck[narrowing] enables
  2379     narrowing-based testing.  Requires the Glasgow Haskell compiler
  2380     with its installation location defined in the Isabelle settings
  2381     environment as ISABELLE_GHC.
  2382   - Removed quickcheck tester "SML" based on the SML code generator
  2383     (formly in HOL/Library).
  2384 
  2385 * Function package: discontinued option "tailrec".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  2386 use 'partial_function' instead.
  2387 
  2388 * Theory Library/Extended_Reals replaces now the positive extended
  2389 reals found in probability theory. This file is extended by
  2390 Multivariate_Analysis/Extended_Real_Limits.
  2391 
  2392 * Theory Library/Old_Recdef: old 'recdef' package has been moved here,
  2393 from where it must be imported explicitly if it is really required.
  2394 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2395 
  2396 * Theory Library/Wfrec: well-founded recursion combinator "wfrec" has
  2397 been moved here.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2398 
  2399 * Theory Library/Saturated provides type of numbers with saturated
  2400 arithmetic.
  2401 
  2402 * Theory Library/Product_Lattice defines a pointwise ordering for the
  2403 product type 'a * 'b, and provides instance proofs for various order
  2404 and lattice type classes.
  2405 
  2406 * Theory Library/Countable now provides the "countable_datatype" proof
  2407 method for proving "countable" class instances for datatypes.
  2408 
  2409 * Theory Library/Cset_Monad allows do notation for computable sets
  2410 (cset) via the generic monad ad-hoc overloading facility.
  2411 
  2412 * Library: Theories of common data structures are split into theories
  2413 for implementation, an invariant-ensuring type, and connection to an
  2414 abstract type. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2415 
  2416   - RBT is split into RBT and RBT_Mapping.
  2417   - AssocList is split and renamed into AList and AList_Mapping.
  2418   - DList is split into DList_Impl, DList, and DList_Cset.
  2419   - Cset is split into Cset and List_Cset.
  2420 
  2421 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity has been renamed to
  2422 Library/Extended_Nat, with name changes of the following types and
  2423 constants:
  2424 
  2425   type inat   ~> type enat
  2426   Fin         ~> enat
  2427   Infty       ~> infinity (overloaded)
  2428   iSuc        ~> eSuc
  2429   the_Fin     ~> the_enat
  2430 
  2431 Every theorem name containing "inat", "Fin", "Infty", or "iSuc" has
  2432 been renamed accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2433 
  2434 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: The euclidean_space type class now
  2435 fixes a constant "Basis :: 'a set" consisting of the standard
  2436 orthonormal basis for the type. Users now have the option of
  2437 quantifying over this set instead of using the "basis" function, e.g.
  2438 "ALL x:Basis. P x" vs "ALL i<DIM('a). P (basis i)".
  2439 
  2440 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Type "('a, 'b) cart" has been renamed
  2441 to "('a, 'b) vec" (the syntax "'a ^ 'b" remains unaffected). Constants
  2442 "Cart_nth" and "Cart_lambda" have been respectively renamed to
  2443 "vec_nth" and "vec_lambda"; theorems mentioning those names have
  2444 changed to match. Definition theorems for overloaded constants now use
  2445 the standard "foo_vec_def" naming scheme. A few other theorems have
  2446 been renamed as follows (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  2447 
  2448   Cart_eq          ~> vec_eq_iff
  2449   dist_nth_le_cart ~> dist_vec_nth_le
  2450   tendsto_vector   ~> vec_tendstoI
  2451   Cauchy_vector    ~> vec_CauchyI
  2452 
  2453 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Several duplicate theorems have been
  2454 removed, and other theorems have been renamed or replaced with more
  2455 general versions. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2509 * Session HOL-Probability:
  2510   - Caratheodory's extension lemma is now proved for ring_of_sets.
  2511   - Infinite products of probability measures are now available.
  2512   - Sigma closure is independent, if the generator is independent
  2513   - Use extended reals instead of positive extended
  2514     reals. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2545 *** Document preparation ***
  2546 
  2547 * Antiquotation @{rail} layouts railroad syntax diagrams, see also
  2548 isar-ref manual, both for description and actual application of the
  2549 same.
  2550 
  2551 * Antiquotation @{value} evaluates the given term and presents its
  2552 result.
  2553 
  2554 * Antiquotations: term style "isub" provides ad-hoc conversion of
  2555 variables x1, y23 into subscripted form x\<^isub>1,
  2556 y\<^isub>2\<^isub>3.
  2557 
  2558 * Predefined LaTeX macros for Isabelle symbols \<bind> and \<then>
  2559 (e.g. see ~~/src/HOL/Library/Monad_Syntax.thy).
  2560 
  2561 * Localized \isabellestyle switch can be used within blocks or groups
  2562 like this:
  2563 
  2564   \isabellestyle{it}  %preferred default
  2565   {\isabellestylett @{text "typewriter stuff"}}
  2566 
  2567 * Discontinued special treatment of hard tabulators.  Implicit
  2568 tab-width is now defined as 1.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for visual
  2569 layouts.
  2570 
  2571 
  2572 *** ML ***
  2573 
  2574 * The inner syntax of sort/type/term/prop supports inlined YXML
  2575 representations within quoted string tokens.  By encoding logical
  2576 entities via Term_XML (in ML or Scala) concrete syntax can be
  2577 bypassed, which is particularly useful for producing bits of text
  2578 under external program control.
  2579 
  2580 * Antiquotations for ML and document preparation are managed as theory
  2581 data, which requires explicit setup.
  2582 
  2583 * Isabelle_Process.is_active allows tools to check if the official
  2584 process wrapper is running (Isabelle/Scala/jEdit) or the old TTY loop
  2585 (better known as Proof General).
  2586 
  2587 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  2588 ProofContext is still available for some time as legacy alias.
  2589 
  2590 * Structure Timing provides various operations for timing; supersedes
  2591 former start_timing/end_timing etc.
  2592 
  2593 * Path.print is the official way to show file-system paths to users
  2594 (including quotes etc.).
  2595 
  2596 * Inner syntax: identifiers in parse trees of generic categories
  2597 "logic", "aprop", "idt" etc. carry position information (disguised as
  2598 type constraints).  Occasional INCOMPATIBILITY with non-compliant
  2599 translations that choke on unexpected type constraints.  Positions can
  2600 be stripped in ML translations via Syntax.strip_positions /
  2601 Syntax.strip_positions_ast, or via the syntax constant
  2602 "_strip_positions" within parse trees.  As last resort, positions can
  2603 be disabled via the configuration option Syntax.positions, which is
  2604 called "syntax_positions" in Isar attribute syntax.
  2605 
  2606 * Discontinued special status of various ML structures that contribute
  2607 to structure Syntax (Ast, Lexicon, Mixfix, Parser, Printer etc.): less
  2608 pervasive content, no inclusion in structure Syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  2609 refer directly to Ast.Constant, Lexicon.is_identifier,
  2610 Syntax_Trans.mk_binder_tr etc.
  2611 
  2612 * Typed print translation: discontinued show_sorts argument, which is
  2613 already available via context of "advanced" translation.
  2614 
  2615 * Refined PARALLEL_GOALS tactical: degrades gracefully for schematic
  2616 goal states; body tactic needs to address all subgoals uniformly.
  2617 
  2618 * Slightly more special eq_list/eq_set, with shortcut involving
  2619 pointer equality (assumes that eq relation is reflexive).
  2620 
  2621 * Classical tactics use proper Proof.context instead of historic types
  2622 claset/clasimpset.  Old-style declarations like addIs, addEs, addDs
  2623 operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type claset retains its use as
  2624 snapshot of the classical context, which can be recovered via
  2625 (put_claset HOL_cs) etc.  Type clasimpset has been discontinued.
  2626 INCOMPATIBILITY, classical tactics and derived proof methods require
  2627 proper Proof.context.
  2628 
  2629 
  2630 *** System ***
  2631 
  2632 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2, which was the last version
  2633 without proper multithreading and TimeLimit implementation.
  2634 
  2635 * Discontinued old lib/scripts/polyml-platform, which has been
  2636 obsolete since Isabelle2009-2.
  2637 
  2638 * Various optional external tools are referenced more robustly and
  2639 uniformly by explicit Isabelle settings as follows:
  2640 
  2641   ISABELLE_CSDP   (formerly CSDP_EXE)
  2642   ISABELLE_GHC    (formerly EXEC_GHC or GHC_PATH)
  2643   ISABELLE_OCAML  (formerly EXEC_OCAML)
  2644   ISABELLE_SWIPL  (formerly EXEC_SWIPL)
  2645   ISABELLE_YAP    (formerly EXEC_YAP)
  2646 
  2647 Note that automated detection from the file-system or search path has
  2648 been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2649 
  2650 * Scala layer provides JVM method invocation service for static
  2651 methods of type (String)String, see Invoke_Scala.method in ML.  For
  2652 example:
  2653 
  2654   Invoke_Scala.method "java.lang.System.getProperty" "java.home"
  2655 
  2656 Together with YXML.string_of_body/parse_body and XML.Encode/Decode
  2657 this allows to pass structured values between ML and Scala.
  2658 
  2659 * The IsabelleText fonts includes some further glyphs to support the
  2660 Prover IDE.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: users who happen to have
  2661 installed a local copy (which is normally *not* required) need to
  2662 delete or update it from ~~/lib/fonts/.
  2663 
  2664 
  2665 
  2666 New in Isabelle2011 (January 2011)
  2667 ----------------------------------
  2668 
  2669 *** General ***
  2670 
  2671 * Experimental Prover IDE based on Isabelle/Scala and jEdit (see
  2672 src/Tools/jEdit).  This also serves as IDE for Isabelle/ML, with
  2673 useful tooltips and hyperlinks produced from its static analysis.  The
  2674 bundled component provides an executable Isabelle tool that can be run
  2675 like this:
  2676 
  2677   Isabelle2011/bin/isabelle jedit
  2678 
  2679 * Significantly improved Isabelle/Isar implementation manual.
  2680 
  2681 * System settings: ISABELLE_HOME_USER now includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER
  2682 (and thus refers to something like $HOME/.isabelle/Isabelle2011),
  2683 while the default heap location within that directory lacks that extra
  2684 suffix.  This isolates multiple Isabelle installations from each
  2685 other, avoiding problems with old settings in new versions.
  2686 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to copy/upgrade old user settings manually.
  2687 
  2688 * Source files are always encoded as UTF-8, instead of old-fashioned
  2689 ISO-Latin-1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Isabelle LaTeX documents might require
  2690 the following package declarations:
  2691 
  2692   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
  2693   \usepackage{textcomp}
  2694 
  2695 * Explicit treatment of UTF-8 sequences as Isabelle symbols, such that
  2696 a Unicode character is treated as a single symbol, not a sequence of
  2697 non-ASCII bytes as before.  Since Isabelle/ML string literals may
  2698 contain symbols without further backslash escapes, Unicode can now be
  2699 used here as well.  Recall that Symbol.explode in ML provides a
  2700 consistent view on symbols, while raw explode (or String.explode)
  2701 merely give a byte-oriented representation.
  2702 
  2703 * Theory loader: source files are primarily located via the master
  2704 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  2705 The global load path is still partially available as legacy feature.
  2706 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY due to subtle change in file lookup: use
  2707 explicit paths, relatively to the theory.
  2708 
  2709 * Special treatment of ML file names has been discontinued.
  2710 Historically, optional extensions .ML or .sml were added on demand --
  2711 at the cost of clarity of file dependencies.  Recall that Isabelle/ML
  2712 files exclusively use the .ML extension.  Minor INCOMPATIBILTY.
  2713 
  2714 * Various options that affect pretty printing etc. are now properly
  2715 handled within the context via configuration options, instead of
  2716 unsynchronized references or print modes.  There are both ML Config.T
  2717 entities and Isar declaration attributes to access these.
  2718 
  2719   ML (Config.T)                 Isar (attribute)

  2742   Thy_Output.break              thy_output_break
  2743 
  2744 Note that corresponding "..._default" references in ML may only be
  2745 changed globally at the ROOT session setup, but *not* within a theory.
  2746 The option "show_abbrevs" supersedes the former print mode
  2747 "no_abbrevs" with inverted meaning.
  2748 
  2749 * More systematic naming of some configuration options.
  2750 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2751 
  2752   trace_simp  ~>  simp_trace
  2753   debug_simp  ~>  simp_debug
  2754 
  2755 * Support for real valued configuration options, using simplistic
  2756 floating-point notation that coincides with the inner syntax for
  2757 float_token.
  2758 
  2759 * Support for real valued preferences (with approximative PGIP type):
  2760 front-ends need to accept "pgint" values in float notation.
  2761 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2762 
  2763 * The IsabelleText font now includes Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic from
  2764 DejaVu Sans.
  2765 
  2766 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.0 and 5.1 versions.
  2767 
  2768 
  2769 *** Pure ***
  2770 
  2771 * Command 'type_synonym' (with single argument) replaces somewhat
  2772 outdated 'types', which is still available as legacy feature for some
  2773 time.
  2774 
  2775 * Command 'nonterminal' (with 'and' separated list of arguments)
  2776 replaces somewhat outdated 'nonterminals'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2777 
  2778 * Command 'notepad' replaces former 'example_proof' for
  2779 experimentation in Isar without any result.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2780 
  2781 * Locale interpretation commands 'interpret' and 'sublocale' accept
  2782 lists of equations to map definitions in a locale to appropriate
  2783 entities in the context of the interpretation.  The 'interpretation'
  2784 command already provided this functionality.
  2785 
  2786 * Diagnostic command 'print_dependencies' prints the locale instances
  2787 that would be activated if the specified expression was interpreted in
  2788 the current context.  Variant "print_dependencies!" assumes a context
  2789 without interpretations.
  2790 
  2791 * Diagnostic command 'print_interps' prints interpretations in proofs
  2792 in addition to interpretations in theories.
  2793 
  2794 * Discontinued obsolete 'global' and 'local' commands to manipulate
  2795 the theory name space.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.  The ML functions
  2796 Sign.root_path and Sign.local_path may be applied directly where this
  2797 feature is still required for historical reasons.
  2798 
  2799 * Discontinued obsolete 'constdefs' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  2800 'definition' instead.
  2801 
  2802 * The "prems" fact, which refers to the accidental collection of
  2803 foundational premises in the context, is now explicitly marked as
  2804 legacy feature and will be discontinued soon.  Consider using "assms"
  2805 of the head statement or reference facts by explicit names.
  2806 
  2807 * Document antiquotations @{class} and @{type} print classes and type
  2808 constructors.
  2809 
  2810 * Document antiquotation @{file} checks file/directory entries within
  2811 the local file system.
  2812 
  2813 
  2814 *** HOL ***
  2815 
  2816 * Coercive subtyping: functions can be declared as coercions and type
  2817 inference will add them as necessary upon input of a term.  Theory
  2818 Complex_Main declares real :: nat => real and real :: int => real as
  2819 coercions. A coercion function f is declared like this:
  2820 
  2821   declare [[coercion f]]
  2822 
  2823 To lift coercions through type constructors (e.g. from nat => real to
  2824 nat list => real list), map functions can be declared, e.g.
  2825 
  2826   declare [[coercion_map map]]
  2827 
  2828 Currently coercion inference is activated only in theories including
  2829 real numbers, i.e. descendants of Complex_Main.  This is controlled by
  2830 the configuration option "coercion_enabled", e.g. it can be enabled in
  2831 other theories like this:
  2832 
  2833   declare [[coercion_enabled]]
  2834 
  2835 * Command 'partial_function' provides basic support for recursive
  2836 function definitions over complete partial orders.  Concrete instances
  2837 are provided for i) the option type, ii) tail recursion on arbitrary
  2838 types, and iii) the heap monad of Imperative_HOL.  See
  2839 src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy and src/HOL/Imperative_HOL/ex/Linked_Lists.thy
  2840 for examples.
  2841 
  2842 * Function package: f.psimps rules are no longer implicitly declared
  2843 as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2844 
  2845 * Datatype package: theorems generated for executable equality (class
  2846 "eq") carry proper names and are treated as default code equations.
  2847 
  2848 * Inductive package: now offers command 'inductive_simps' to
  2849 automatically derive instantiated and simplified equations for
  2850 inductive predicates, similar to 'inductive_cases'.
  2851 
  2852 * Command 'enriched_type' allows to register properties of the
  2853 functorial structure of types.
  2854 
  2855 * Improved infrastructure for term evaluation using code generator
  2856 techniques, in particular static evaluation conversions.
  2857 
  2858 * Code generator: Scala (2.8 or higher) has been added to the target
  2859 languages.
  2860 
  2861 * Code generator: globbing constant expressions "*" and "Theory.*"
  2862 have been replaced by the more idiomatic "_" and "Theory._".
  2863 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2864 
  2865 * Code generator: export_code without explicit file declaration prints
  2866 to standard output.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2867 
  2868 * Code generator: do not print function definitions for case
  2869 combinators any longer.
  2870 
  2871 * Code generator: simplification with rules determined with
  2872 src/Tools/Code/code_simp.ML and method "code_simp".
  2873 
  2874 * Code generator for records: more idiomatic representation of record
  2875 types.  Warning: records are not covered by ancient SML code
  2876 generation any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  In cases of need, a suitable
  2877 rep_datatype declaration helps to succeed then:
  2878 
  2879   record 'a foo = ...
  2880   ...
  2881   rep_datatype foo_ext ...
  2882 
  2883 * Records: logical foundation type for records does not carry a
  2884 '_type' suffix any longer (obsolete due to authentic syntax).
  2885 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2886 
  2887 * Quickcheck now by default uses exhaustive testing instead of random
  2888 testing.  Random testing can be invoked by "quickcheck [random]",
  2889 exhaustive testing by "quickcheck [exhaustive]".
  2890 
  2891 * Quickcheck instantiates polymorphic types with small finite
  2892 datatypes by default. This enables a simple execution mechanism to
  2893 handle quantifiers and function equality over the finite datatypes.
  2894 
  2895 * Quickcheck random generator has been renamed from "code" to
  2896 "random".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2897 
  2898 * Quickcheck now has a configurable time limit which is set to 30
  2899 seconds by default. This can be changed by adding [timeout = n] to the
  2900 quickcheck command. The time limit for Auto Quickcheck is still set
  2901 independently.
  2902 
  2903 * Quickcheck in locales considers interpretations of that locale for
  2904 counter example search.
  2905 
  2906 * Sledgehammer:
  2907   - Added "smt" and "remote_smt" provers based on the "smt" proof
  2908     method. See the Sledgehammer manual for details ("isabelle doc
  2909     sledgehammer").
  2910   - Renamed commands:
  2911     sledgehammer atp_info ~> sledgehammer running_provers
  2912     sledgehammer atp_kill ~> sledgehammer kill_provers
  2913     sledgehammer available_atps ~> sledgehammer available_provers
  2914     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2915   - Renamed options:
  2916     sledgehammer [atps = ...] ~> sledgehammer [provers = ...]
  2917     sledgehammer [atp = ...] ~> sledgehammer [prover = ...]
  2918     sledgehammer [timeout = 77 s] ~> sledgehammer [timeout = 77]
  2919     (and "ms" and "min" are no longer supported)
  2920     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2921 
  2922 * Nitpick:
  2923   - Renamed options:
  2924     nitpick [timeout = 77 s] ~> nitpick [timeout = 77]
  2925     nitpick [tac_timeout = 777 ms] ~> nitpick [tac_timeout = 0.777]
  2926     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2927   - Added support for partial quotient types.
  2928   - Added local versions of the "Nitpick.register_xxx" functions.
  2929   - Added "whack" option.
  2930   - Allow registration of quotient types as codatatypes.
  2931   - Improved "merge_type_vars" option to merge more types.
  2932   - Removed unsound "fast_descrs" option.
  2933   - Added custom symmetry breaking for datatypes, making it possible to reach
  2934     higher cardinalities.
  2935   - Prevent the expansion of too large definitions.
  2936 
  2937 * Proof methods "metis" and "meson" now have configuration options
  2938 "meson_trace", "metis_trace", and "metis_verbose" that can be enabled
  2939 to diagnose these tools. E.g.
  2940 
  2941     using [[metis_trace = true]]
  2942 
  2943 * Auto Solve: Renamed "Auto Solve Direct".  The tool is now available
  2944 manually as command 'solve_direct'.
  2945 
  2946 * The default SMT solver Z3 must be enabled explicitly (due to
  2947 licensing issues) by setting the environment variable
  2948 Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL in etc/settings of the component, for example.  For
  2949 commercial applications, the SMT solver CVC3 is provided as fall-back;
  2950 changing the SMT solver is done via the configuration option
  2951 "smt_solver".
  2952 
  2953 * Remote SMT solvers need to be referred to by the "remote_" prefix,
  2954 i.e. "remote_cvc3" and "remote_z3".
  2955 
  2956 * Added basic SMT support for datatypes, records, and typedefs using
  2957 the oracle mode (no proofs).  Direct support of pairs has been dropped
  2958 in exchange (pass theorems fst_conv snd_conv pair_collapse to the SMT
  2959 support for a similar behavior).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2960 
  2961 * Changed SMT configuration options:
  2962   - Renamed:
  2963     z3_proofs ~> smt_oracle (with inverted meaning)
  2964     z3_trace_assms ~> smt_trace_used_facts
  2965     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2966   - Added:
  2967     smt_verbose
  2968     smt_random_seed
  2969     smt_datatypes
  2970     smt_infer_triggers
  2971     smt_monomorph_limit
  2972     cvc3_options
  2973     remote_cvc3_options
  2974     remote_z3_options
  2975     yices_options
  2976 
  2977 * Boogie output files (.b2i files) need to be declared in the theory
  2978 header.
  2979 
  2980 * Simplification procedure "list_to_set_comprehension" rewrites list
  2981 comprehensions applied to List.set to set comprehensions.  Occasional
  2982 INCOMPATIBILITY, may be deactivated like this:
  2983 
  2984   declare [[simproc del: list_to_set_comprehension]]
  2985 
  2986 * Removed old version of primrec package.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2987 
  2988 * Removed simplifier congruence rule of "prod_case", as has for long
  2989 been the case with "split".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2990 
  2991 * String.literal is a type, but not a datatype.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2992 
  2993 * Removed [split_format ... and ... and ...] version of
  2994 [split_format].  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2995 
  2996 * Predicate "sorted" now defined inductively, with nice induction
  2997 rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY: former sorted.simps now named sorted_simps.
  2998 
  2999 * Constant "contents" renamed to "the_elem", to free the generic name
  3000 contents for other uses.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3001 
  3002 * Renamed class eq and constant eq (for code generation) to class
  3003 equal and constant equal, plus renaming of related facts and various
  3004 tuning.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3005 
  3006 * Dropped type classes mult_mono and mult_mono1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3007 
  3008 * Removed output syntax "'a ~=> 'b" for "'a => 'b option".
  3009 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3010 
  3011 * Renamed theory Fset to Cset, type Fset.fset to Cset.set, in order to
  3012 avoid confusion with finite sets.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3013 
  3014 * Abandoned locales equiv, congruent and congruent2 for equivalence
  3015 relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use equivI rather than equiv_intro (same
  3016 for congruent(2)).
  3017 
  3018 * Some previously unqualified names have been qualified:
  3019 
  3020   types
  3021     bool ~> HOL.bool
  3022     nat ~> Nat.nat
  3023 
  3024   constants
  3025     Trueprop ~> HOL.Trueprop
  3026     True ~> HOL.True
  3027     False ~> HOL.False
  3028     op & ~> HOL.conj
  3029     op | ~> HOL.disj
  3030     op --> ~> HOL.implies
  3031     op = ~> HOL.eq
  3032     Not ~> HOL.Not

  3042     Pair ~> Product_Type.Pair
  3043     fst ~> Product_Type.fst
  3044     snd ~> Product_Type.snd
  3045     curry ~> Product_Type.curry
  3046     op : ~> Set.member
  3047     Collect ~> Set.Collect
  3048 
  3049 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3050 
  3051 * More canonical naming convention for some fundamental definitions:
  3052 
  3053     bot_bool_eq ~> bot_bool_def
  3054     top_bool_eq ~> top_bool_def
  3055     inf_bool_eq ~> inf_bool_def
  3056     sup_bool_eq ~> sup_bool_def
  3057     bot_fun_eq  ~> bot_fun_def
  3058     top_fun_eq  ~> top_fun_def
  3059     inf_fun_eq  ~> inf_fun_def
  3060     sup_fun_eq  ~> sup_fun_def
  3061 
  3062 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3063 
  3064 * More stylized fact names:
  3065 
  3066   expand_fun_eq ~> fun_eq_iff
  3067   expand_set_eq ~> set_eq_iff
  3068   set_ext       ~> set_eqI
  3069   nat_number    ~> eval_nat_numeral
  3070 
  3071 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3072 
  3073 * Refactoring of code-generation specific operations in theory List:
  3074 
  3075   constants
  3076     null ~> List.null
  3077 
  3078   facts
  3079     mem_iff ~> member_def
  3080     null_empty ~> null_def
  3081 
  3082 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that these were not supposed to be used
  3083 regularly unless for striking reasons; their main purpose was code
  3084 generation.
  3085 
  3086 Various operations from the Haskell prelude are used for generating
  3087 Haskell code.
  3088 
  3089 * Term "bij f" is now an abbreviation of "bij_betw f UNIV UNIV".  Term
  3090 "surj f" is now an abbreviation of "range f = UNIV".  The theorems
  3091 bij_def and surj_def are unchanged.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3092 
  3093 * Abolished some non-alphabetic type names: "prod" and "sum" replace
  3094 "*" and "+" respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3095 
  3096 * Name "Plus" of disjoint sum operator "<+>" is now hidden.  Write
  3097 "Sum_Type.Plus" instead.
  3098 
  3099 * Constant "split" has been merged with constant "prod_case"; names of
  3100 ML functions, facts etc. involving split have been retained so far,
  3101 though.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3102 
  3103 * Dropped old infix syntax "_ mem _" for List.member; use "_ : set _"
  3104 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3105 
  3106 * Removed lemma "Option.is_none_none" which duplicates "is_none_def".
  3107 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3108 
  3109 * Former theory Library/Enum is now part of the HOL-Main image.
  3110 INCOMPATIBILITY: all constants of the Enum theory now have to be
  3111 referred to by its qualified name.
  3112 
  3113   enum    ~>  Enum.enum
  3114   nlists  ~>  Enum.nlists
  3115   product ~>  Enum.product
  3116 
  3117 * Theory Library/Monad_Syntax provides do-syntax for monad types.
  3118 Syntax in Library/State_Monad has been changed to avoid ambiguities.
  3119 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3120 
  3121 * Theory Library/SetsAndFunctions has been split into
  3122 Library/Function_Algebras and Library/Set_Algebras; canonical names
  3123 for instance definitions for functions; various improvements.
  3124 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3125 
  3126 * Theory Library/Multiset provides stable quicksort implementation of
  3127 sort_key.
  3128 
  3129 * Theory Library/Multiset: renamed empty_idemp ~> empty_neutral.
  3130 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3131 
  3132 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: introduced a type class for euclidean
  3133 space.  Most theorems are now stated in terms of euclidean spaces
  3134 instead of finite cartesian products.
  3135 
  3136   types
  3137     real ^ 'n ~>  'a::real_vector
  3138               ~>  'a::euclidean_space
  3139               ~>  'a::ordered_euclidean_space
  3140         (depends on your needs)
  3141 
  3142   constants
  3143      _ $ _        ~> _ $$ _
  3144      \<chi> x. _  ~> \<chi>\<chi> x. _
  3145      CARD('n)     ~> DIM('a)
  3146 
  3147 Also note that the indices are now natural numbers and not from some
  3148 finite type. Finite cartesian products of euclidean spaces, products
  3149 of euclidean spaces the real and complex numbers are instantiated to
  3150 be euclidean_spaces.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3151 
  3152 * Session Probability: introduced pextreal as positive extended real
  3153 numbers.  Use pextreal as value for measures.  Introduce the
  3154 Radon-Nikodym derivative, product spaces and Fubini's theorem for
  3155 arbitrary sigma finite measures.  Introduces Lebesgue measure based on
  3156 the integral in Multivariate Analysis.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3157 
  3158 * Session Imperative_HOL: revamped, corrected dozens of inadequacies.
  3159 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3160 
  3161 * Session SPARK (with image HOL-SPARK) provides commands to load and
  3162 prove verification conditions generated by the SPARK Ada program
  3163 verifier.  See also src/HOL/SPARK and src/HOL/SPARK/Examples.
  3164 
  3165 
  3166 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  3167 
  3168 * Theorems for additive ring operations (locale abelian_monoid and
  3169 descendants) are generated by interpretation from their multiplicative
  3170 counterparts.  Names (in particular theorem names) have the mandatory
  3171 qualifier 'add'.  Previous theorem names are redeclared for
  3172 compatibility.
  3173 
  3174 * Structure "int_ring" is now an abbreviation (previously a
  3175 definition).  This fits more natural with advanced interpretations.
  3176 
  3177 
  3178 *** HOLCF ***
  3179 
  3180 * The domain package now runs in definitional mode by default: The
  3181 former command 'new_domain' is now called 'domain'.  To use the domain
  3182 package in its original axiomatic mode, use 'domain (unsafe)'.
  3183 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3184 
  3185 * The new class "domain" is now the default sort.  Class "predomain"
  3186 is an unpointed version of "domain". Theories can be updated by
  3187 replacing sort annotations as shown below.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3188 
  3189   'a::type ~> 'a::countable
  3190   'a::cpo  ~> 'a::predomain
  3191   'a::pcpo ~> 'a::domain
  3192 
  3193 * The old type class "rep" has been superseded by class "domain".
  3194 Accordingly, users of the definitional package must remove any
  3195 "default_sort rep" declarations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3196 
  3197 * The domain package (definitional mode) now supports unpointed
  3198 predomain argument types, as long as they are marked 'lazy'. (Strict
  3199 arguments must be in class "domain".) For example, the following
  3200 domain definition now works:
  3201 
  3202   domain natlist = nil | cons (lazy "nat discr") (lazy "natlist")
  3203 
  3204 * Theory HOLCF/Library/HOL_Cpo provides cpo and predomain class
  3205 instances for types from main HOL: bool, nat, int, char, 'a + 'b,
  3206 'a option, and 'a list.  Additionally, it configures fixrec and the
  3207 domain package to work with these types.  For example:
  3208 
  3209   fixrec isInl :: "('a + 'b) u -> tr"
  3210     where "isInl$(up$(Inl x)) = TT" | "isInl$(up$(Inr y)) = FF"
  3211 
  3212   domain V = VFun (lazy "V -> V") | VCon (lazy "nat") (lazy "V list")
  3213 
  3214 * The "(permissive)" option of fixrec has been replaced with a
  3215 per-equation "(unchecked)" option. See
  3216 src/HOL/HOLCF/Tutorial/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3217 
  3218 * The "bifinite" class no longer fixes a constant "approx"; the class
  3219 now just asserts that such a function exists.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3220 
  3221 * Former type "alg_defl" has been renamed to "defl".  HOLCF no longer
  3222 defines an embedding of type 'a defl into udom by default; instances
  3223 of "bifinite" and "domain" classes are available in
  3224 src/HOL/HOLCF/Library/Defl_Bifinite.thy.
  3225 
  3226 * The syntax "REP('a)" has been replaced with "DEFL('a)".
  3227 
  3228 * The predicate "directed" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3229 
  3230 * The type class "finite_po" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3231 
  3232 * The function "cprod_map" has been renamed to "prod_map".
  3233 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3234 
  3235 * The monadic bind operator on each powerdomain has new binder syntax
  3236 similar to sets, e.g. "\<Union>\<sharp>x\<in>xs. t" represents
  3237 "upper_bind\<cdot>xs\<cdot>(\<Lambda> x. t)".
  3238 
  3239 * The infix syntax for binary union on each powerdomain has changed
  3240 from e.g. "+\<sharp>" to "\<union>\<sharp>", for consistency with set
  3241 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3242 
  3243 * The constant "UU" has been renamed to "bottom".  The syntax "UU" is
  3244 still supported as an input translation.
  3245 
  3246 * Renamed some theorems (the original names are also still available).
  3247 
  3248   expand_fun_below   ~> fun_below_iff
  3249   below_fun_ext      ~> fun_belowI
  3250   expand_cfun_eq     ~> cfun_eq_iff
  3251   ext_cfun           ~> cfun_eqI
  3252   expand_cfun_below  ~> cfun_below_iff
  3253   below_cfun_ext     ~> cfun_belowI
  3254   cont2cont_Rep_CFun ~> cont2cont_APP
  3255 
  3256 * The Abs and Rep functions for various types have changed names.
  3257 Related theorem names have also changed to match. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3258 
  3259   Rep_CFun  ~> Rep_cfun
  3260   Abs_CFun  ~> Abs_cfun
  3261   Rep_Sprod ~> Rep_sprod
  3262   Abs_Sprod ~> Abs_sprod
  3263   Rep_Ssum  ~> Rep_ssum
  3264   Abs_Ssum  ~> Abs_ssum
  3265 
  3266 * Lemmas with names of the form *_defined_iff or *_strict_iff have
  3267 been renamed to *_bottom_iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3268 
  3269 * Various changes to bisimulation/coinduction with domain package:
  3270 
  3271   - Definitions of "bisim" constants no longer mention definedness.
  3272   - With mutual recursion, "bisim" predicate is now curried.
  3273   - With mutual recursion, each type gets a separate coind theorem.
  3274   - Variable names in bisim_def and coinduct rules have changed.
  3275 
  3276 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3277 
  3278 * Case combinators generated by the domain package for type "foo" are
  3279 now named "foo_case" instead of "foo_when".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3280 
  3281 * Several theorems have been renamed to more accurately reflect the
  3282 names of constants and types involved.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3354 *** FOL and ZF ***
  3355 
  3356 * All constant names are now qualified internally and use proper
  3357 identifiers, e.g. "IFOL.eq" instead of "op =".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3358 
  3359 
  3360 *** ML ***
  3361 
  3362 * Antiquotation @{assert} inlines a function bool -> unit that raises
  3363 Fail if the argument is false.  Due to inlining the source position of
  3364 failed assertions is included in the error output.
  3365 
  3366 * Discontinued antiquotation @{theory_ref}, which is obsolete since ML
  3367 text is in practice always evaluated with a stable theory checkpoint.
  3368 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use (Theory.check_thy @{theory}) instead.
  3369 
  3370 * Antiquotation @{theory A} refers to theory A from the ancestry of
  3371 the current context, not any accidental theory loader state as before.
  3372 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, subtle change in semantics.
  3373 
  3374 * Syntax.pretty_priority (default 0) configures the required priority
  3375 of pretty-printed output and thus affects insertion of parentheses.
  3376 
  3377 * Syntax.default_root (default "any") configures the inner syntax
  3378 category (nonterminal symbol) for parsing of terms.
  3379 
  3380 * Former exception Library.UnequalLengths now coincides with
  3381 ListPair.UnequalLengths.
  3382 
  3383 * Renamed structure MetaSimplifier to Raw_Simplifier.  Note that the
  3384 main functionality is provided by structure Simplifier.
  3385 
  3386 * Renamed raw "explode" function to "raw_explode" to emphasize its
  3387 meaning.  Note that internally to Isabelle, Symbol.explode is used in
  3388 almost all situations.
  3389 
  3390 * Discontinued obsolete function sys_error and exception SYS_ERROR.
  3391 See implementation manual for further details on exceptions in
  3392 Isabelle/ML.
  3393 
  3394 * Renamed setmp_noncritical to Unsynchronized.setmp to emphasize its
  3395 meaning.
  3396 
  3397 * Renamed structure PureThy to Pure_Thy and moved most of its
  3398 operations to structure Global_Theory, to emphasize that this is
  3399 rarely-used global-only stuff.
  3400 
  3401 * Discontinued Output.debug.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use plain writeln
  3402 instead (or tracing for high-volume output).
  3403 
  3404 * Configuration option show_question_marks only affects regular pretty
  3405 printing of types and terms, not raw Term.string_of_vname.
  3406 
  3407 * ML_Context.thm and ML_Context.thms are no longer pervasive.  Rare
  3408 INCOMPATIBILITY, superseded by static antiquotations @{thm} and
  3409 @{thms} for most purposes.
  3410 
  3411 * ML structure Unsynchronized is never opened, not even in Isar
  3412 interaction mode as before.  Old Unsynchronized.set etc. have been
  3413 discontinued -- use plain := instead.  This should be *rare* anyway,
  3414 since modern tools always work via official context data, notably
  3415 configuration options.
  3416 
  3417 * Parallel and asynchronous execution requires special care concerning
  3418 interrupts.  Structure Exn provides some convenience functions that
  3419 avoid working directly with raw Interrupt.  User code must not absorb
  3420 interrupts -- intermediate handling (for cleanup etc.) needs to be
  3421 followed by re-raising of the original exception.  Another common
  3422 source of mistakes are "handle _" patterns, which make the meaning of
  3423 the program subject to physical effects of the environment.

  3427 New in Isabelle2009-2 (June 2010)
  3428 ---------------------------------
  3429 
  3430 *** General ***
  3431 
  3432 * Authentic syntax for *all* logical entities (type classes, type
  3433 constructors, term constants): provides simple and robust
  3434 correspondence between formal entities and concrete syntax.  Within
  3435 the parse tree / AST representations, "constants" are decorated by
  3436 their category (class, type, const) and spelled out explicitly with
  3437 their full internal name.
  3438 
  3439 Substantial INCOMPATIBILITY concerning low-level syntax declarations
  3440 and translations (translation rules and translation functions in ML).
  3441 Some hints on upgrading:
  3442 
  3443   - Many existing uses of 'syntax' and 'translations' can be replaced
  3444     by more modern 'type_notation', 'notation' and 'abbreviation',
  3445     which are independent of this issue.
  3446 
  3447   - 'translations' require markup within the AST; the term syntax
  3448     provides the following special forms:
  3449 
  3450       CONST c   -- produces syntax version of constant c from context
  3451       XCONST c  -- literally c, checked as constant from context
  3452       c         -- literally c, if declared by 'syntax'
  3453 
  3454     Plain identifiers are treated as AST variables -- occasionally the
  3455     system indicates accidental variables via the error "rhs contains
  3456     extra variables".
  3457 
  3458     Type classes and type constructors are marked according to their
  3459     concrete syntax.  Some old translations rules need to be written
  3460     for the "type" category, using type constructor application
  3461     instead of pseudo-term application of the default category
  3462     "logic".
  3463 
  3464   - 'parse_translation' etc. in ML may use the following
  3465     antiquotations:
  3466 
  3467       @{class_syntax c}   -- type class c within parse tree / AST
  3468       @{term_syntax c}    -- type constructor c within parse tree / AST
  3469       @{const_syntax c}   -- ML version of "CONST c" above
  3470       @{syntax_const c}   -- literally c (checked wrt. 'syntax' declarations)
  3471 
  3472   - Literal types within 'typed_print_translations', i.e. those *not*
  3473     represented as pseudo-terms are represented verbatim.  Use @{class
  3474     c} or @{type_name c} here instead of the above syntax
  3475     antiquotations.
  3476 
  3477 Note that old non-authentic syntax was based on unqualified base
  3478 names, so all of the above "constant" names would coincide.  Recall
  3479 that 'print_syntax' and ML_command "set Syntax.trace_ast" help to
  3480 diagnose syntax problems.
  3481 
  3482 * Type constructors admit general mixfix syntax, not just infix.
  3483 
  3484 * Concrete syntax may be attached to local entities without a proof
  3485 body, too.  This works via regular mixfix annotations for 'fix',
  3486 'def', 'obtain' etc. or via the explicit 'write' command, which is
  3487 similar to the 'notation' command in theory specifications.
  3488 
  3489 * Discontinued unnamed infix syntax (legacy feature for many years) --
  3490 need to specify constant name and syntax separately.  Internal ML
  3491 datatype constructors have been renamed from InfixName to Infix etc.
  3492 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3493 
  3494 * Schematic theorem statements need to be explicitly markup as such,
  3495 via commands 'schematic_lemma', 'schematic_theorem',
  3496 'schematic_corollary'.  Thus the relevance of the proof is made
  3497 syntactically clear, which impacts performance in a parallel or
  3498 asynchronous interactive environment.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3499 
  3500 * Use of cumulative prems via "!" in some proof methods has been
  3501 discontinued (old legacy feature).
  3502 
  3503 * References 'trace_simp' and 'debug_simp' have been replaced by
  3504 configuration options stored in the context. Enabling tracing (the
  3505 case of debugging is similar) in proofs works via
  3506 
  3507   using [[trace_simp = true]]
  3508 
  3509 Tracing is then active for all invocations of the simplifier in
  3510 subsequent goal refinement steps. Tracing may also still be enabled or
  3511 disabled via the ProofGeneral settings menu.
  3512 
  3513 * Separate commands 'hide_class', 'hide_type', 'hide_const',
  3514 'hide_fact' replace the former 'hide' KIND command.  Minor
  3515 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3516 
  3517 * Improved parallelism of proof term normalization: usedir -p2 -q0 is
  3518 more efficient than combinations with -q1 or -q2.
  3519 
  3520 
  3521 *** Pure ***
  3522 
  3523 * Proofterms record type-class reasoning explicitly, using the
  3524 "unconstrain" operation internally.  This eliminates all sort
  3525 constraints from a theorem and proof, introducing explicit
  3526 OFCLASS-premises.  On the proof term level, this operation is
  3527 automatically applied at theorem boundaries, such that closed proofs
  3528 are always free of sort constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools that
  3529 inspect proof terms.
  3530 
  3531 * Local theory specifications may depend on extra type variables that
  3532 are not present in the result type -- arguments TYPE('a) :: 'a itself
  3533 are added internally.  For example:
  3534 
  3535   definition unitary :: bool where "unitary = (ALL (x::'a) y. x = y)"
  3536 
  3537 * Predicates of locales introduced by classes carry a mandatory
  3538 "class" prefix.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3539 
  3540 * Vacuous class specifications observe default sort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3541 
  3542 * Old 'axclass' command has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  3543 'class' instead.
  3544 
  3545 * Command 'code_reflect' allows to incorporate generated ML code into
  3546 runtime environment; replaces immature code_datatype antiquotation.
  3547 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3548 
  3549 * Code generator: simple concept for abstract datatypes obeying
  3550 invariants.
  3551 
  3552 * Code generator: details of internal data cache have no impact on the
  3553 user space functionality any longer.
  3554 
  3555 * Methods "unfold_locales" and "intro_locales" ignore non-locale
  3556 subgoals.  This is more appropriate for interpretations with 'where'.
  3557 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3558 
  3559 * Command 'example_proof' opens an empty proof body.  This allows to
  3560 experiment with Isar, without producing any persistent result.
  3561 
  3562 * Commands 'type_notation' and 'no_type_notation' declare type syntax
  3563 within a local theory context, with explicit checking of the
  3564 constructors involved (in contrast to the raw 'syntax' versions).
  3565 
  3566 * Commands 'types' and 'typedecl' now work within a local theory
  3567 context -- without introducing dependencies on parameters or
  3568 assumptions, which is not possible in Isabelle/Pure.
  3569 
  3570 * Command 'defaultsort' has been renamed to 'default_sort', it works
  3571 within a local theory context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3572 
  3573 
  3574 *** HOL ***
  3575 
  3576 * Command 'typedef' now works within a local theory context -- without
  3577 introducing dependencies on parameters or assumptions, which is not
  3578 possible in Isabelle/Pure/HOL.  Note that the logical environment may
  3579 contain multiple interpretations of local typedefs (with different
  3580 non-emptiness proofs), even in a global theory context.
  3581 
  3582 * New package for quotient types.  Commands 'quotient_type' and
  3583 'quotient_definition' may be used for defining types and constants by
  3584 quotient constructions.  An example is the type of integers created by
  3585 quotienting pairs of natural numbers:
  3586 
  3587   fun
  3588     intrel :: "(nat * nat) => (nat * nat) => bool"
  3589   where
  3590     "intrel (x, y) (u, v) = (x + v = u + y)"
  3591 
  3592   quotient_type int = "nat * nat" / intrel
  3593     by (auto simp add: equivp_def expand_fun_eq)
  3594 
  3595   quotient_definition
  3596     "0::int" is "(0::nat, 0::nat)"
  3597 
  3598 The method "lifting" can be used to lift of theorems from the
  3599 underlying "raw" type to the quotient type.  The example
  3600 src/HOL/Quotient_Examples/FSet.thy includes such a quotient
  3601 construction and provides a reasoning infrastructure for finite sets.
  3602 
  3603 * Renamed Library/Quotient.thy to Library/Quotient_Type.thy to avoid
  3604 clash with new theory Quotient in Main HOL.
  3605 
  3606 * Moved the SMT binding into the main HOL session, eliminating
  3607 separate HOL-SMT session.
  3608 
  3609 * List membership infix mem operation is only an input abbreviation.
  3610 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3611 
  3612 * Theory Library/Word.thy has been removed.  Use library Word/Word.thy
  3613 for future developements; former Library/Word.thy is still present in
  3614 the AFP entry RSAPPS.
  3615 
  3616 * Theorem Int.int_induct renamed to Int.int_of_nat_induct and is no
  3617 longer shadowed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3618 
  3619 * Dropped theorem duplicate comp_arith; use semiring_norm instead.
  3620 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3621 
  3622 * Dropped theorem RealPow.real_sq_order; use power2_le_imp_le instead.
  3623 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3624 
  3625 * Dropped normalizing_semiring etc; use the facts in semiring classes
  3626 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3627 
  3628 * Dropped several real-specific versions of lemmas about floor and
  3629 ceiling; use the generic lemmas from theory "Archimedean_Field"
  3630 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3662 
  3663 * Theory "Finite_Set": various folding_XXX locales facilitate the
  3664 application of the various fold combinators on finite sets.
  3665 
  3666 * Library theory "RBT" renamed to "RBT_Impl"; new library theory "RBT"
  3667 provides abstract red-black tree type which is backed by "RBT_Impl" as
  3668 implementation.  INCOMPATIBILTY.
  3669 
  3670 * Theory Library/Coinductive_List has been removed -- superseded by
  3671 AFP/thys/Coinductive.
  3672 
  3673 * Theory PReal, including the type "preal" and related operations, has
  3674 been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3675 
  3676 * Real: new development using Cauchy Sequences.
  3677 
  3678 * Split off theory "Big_Operators" containing setsum, setprod,
  3679 Inf_fin, Sup_fin, Min, Max from theory Finite_Set.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3680 
  3681 * Theory "Rational" renamed to "Rat", for consistency with "Nat",
  3682 "Int" etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3683 
  3684 * Constant Rat.normalize needs to be qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3685 
  3686 * New set of rules "ac_simps" provides combined assoc / commute
  3687 rewrites for all interpretations of the appropriate generic locales.
  3688 
  3689 * Renamed theory "OrderedGroup" to "Groups" and split theory
  3690 "Ring_and_Field" into theories "Rings" and "Fields"; for more
  3691 appropriate and more consistent names suitable for name prefixes
  3692 within the HOL theories.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3693 
  3694 * Some generic constants have been put to appropriate theories:
  3695   - less_eq, less: Orderings
  3696   - zero, one, plus, minus, uminus, times, abs, sgn: Groups
  3697   - inverse, divide: Rings
  3698 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3699 
  3700 * More consistent naming of type classes involving orderings (and
  3701 lattices):
  3702 
  3703     lower_semilattice                   ~> semilattice_inf

  3741   The following slightly odd type classes have been moved to a

  3749 
  3750 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3751 
  3752 * Refined field classes:
  3753   - classes division_ring_inverse_zero, field_inverse_zero,
  3754     linordered_field_inverse_zero include rule inverse 0 = 0 --
  3755     subsumes former division_by_zero class;
  3756   - numerous lemmas have been ported from field to division_ring.
  3757 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3758 
  3759 * Refined algebra theorem collections:
  3760   - dropped theorem group group_simps, use algebra_simps instead;
  3761   - dropped theorem group ring_simps, use field_simps instead;
  3762   - proper theorem collection field_simps subsumes former theorem
  3763     groups field_eq_simps and field_simps;
  3764   - dropped lemma eq_minus_self_iff which is a duplicate for
  3765     equal_neg_zero.
  3766 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3767 
  3768 * Theory Finite_Set and List: some lemmas have been generalized from
  3769 sets to lattices:
  3770 
  3771   fun_left_comm_idem_inter      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_inf
  3772   fun_left_comm_idem_union      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_sup
  3773   inter_Inter_fold_inter        ~> inf_Inf_fold_inf
  3774   union_Union_fold_union        ~> sup_Sup_fold_sup
  3775   Inter_fold_inter              ~> Inf_fold_inf
  3776   Union_fold_union              ~> Sup_fold_sup
  3777   inter_INTER_fold_inter        ~> inf_INFI_fold_inf
  3778   union_UNION_fold_union        ~> sup_SUPR_fold_sup
  3779   INTER_fold_inter              ~> INFI_fold_inf
  3780   UNION_fold_union              ~> SUPR_fold_sup
  3781 
  3782 * Theory "Complete_Lattice": lemmas top_def and bot_def have been
  3783 replaced by the more convenient lemmas Inf_empty and Sup_empty.
  3784 Dropped lemmas Inf_insert_simp and Sup_insert_simp, which are subsumed
  3785 by Inf_insert and Sup_insert.  Lemmas Inf_UNIV and Sup_UNIV replace
  3786 former Inf_Univ and Sup_Univ.  Lemmas inf_top_right and sup_bot_right
  3787 subsume inf_top and sup_bot respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3788 
  3789 * Reorganized theory Multiset: swapped notation of pointwise and
  3790 multiset order:
  3791 
  3792   - pointwise ordering is instance of class order with standard syntax
  3793     <= and <;
  3794   - multiset ordering has syntax <=# and <#; partial order properties
  3795     are provided by means of interpretation with prefix
  3796     multiset_order;
  3797   - less duplication, less historical organization of sections,
  3798     conversion from associations lists to multisets, rudimentary code
  3799     generation;
  3800   - use insert_DiffM2 [symmetric] instead of elem_imp_eq_diff_union,
  3801     if needed.
  3802 
  3803 Renamed:
  3804 
  3805   multiset_eq_conv_count_eq  ~>  multiset_ext_iff
  3806   multi_count_ext  ~>  multiset_ext
  3807   diff_union_inverse2  ~>  diff_union_cancelR
  3808 
  3809 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3810 
  3811 * Theory Permutation: replaced local "remove" by List.remove1.
  3812 
  3813 * Code generation: ML and OCaml code is decorated with signatures.
  3814 
  3815 * Theory List: added transpose.
  3816 
  3817 * Library/Nat_Bijection.thy is a collection of bijective functions
  3818 between nat and other types, which supersedes the older libraries
  3819 Library/Nat_Int_Bij.thy and HOLCF/NatIso.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3849   Nat_Int_Bij.bij_int_to_nat_bij  ~> bij_int_decode
  3850 
  3851 * Sledgehammer:
  3852   - Renamed ATP commands:
  3853     atp_info     ~> sledgehammer running_atps
  3854     atp_kill     ~> sledgehammer kill_atps
  3855     atp_messages ~> sledgehammer messages
  3856     atp_minimize ~> sledgehammer minimize
  3857     print_atps   ~> sledgehammer available_atps
  3858     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3859   - Added user's manual ("isabelle doc sledgehammer").
  3860   - Added option syntax and "sledgehammer_params" to customize
  3861     Sledgehammer's behavior.  See the manual for details.
  3862   - Modified the Isar proof reconstruction code so that it produces
  3863     direct proofs rather than proofs by contradiction.  (This feature
  3864     is still experimental.)
  3865   - Made Isar proof reconstruction work for SPASS, remote ATPs, and in
  3866     full-typed mode.
  3867   - Added support for TPTP syntax for SPASS via the "spass_tptp" ATP.
  3868 
  3869 * Nitpick:
  3870   - Added and implemented "binary_ints" and "bits" options.
  3871   - Added "std" option and implemented support for nonstandard models.
  3872   - Added and implemented "finitize" option to improve the precision
  3873     of infinite datatypes based on a monotonicity analysis.
  3874   - Added support for quotient types.
  3875   - Added support for "specification" and "ax_specification"
  3876     constructs.
  3877   - Added support for local definitions (for "function" and
  3878     "termination" proofs).
  3879   - Added support for term postprocessors.
  3880   - Optimized "Multiset.multiset" and "FinFun.finfun".
  3881   - Improved efficiency of "destroy_constrs" optimization.
  3882   - Fixed soundness bugs related to "destroy_constrs" optimization and
  3883     record getters.
  3884   - Fixed soundness bug related to higher-order constructors.
  3885   - Fixed soundness bug when "full_descrs" is enabled.
  3886   - Improved precision of set constructs.
  3887   - Added "atoms" option.
  3888   - Added cache to speed up repeated Kodkod invocations on the same
  3889     problems.
  3890   - Renamed "MiniSatJNI", "zChaffJNI", "BerkMinAlloy", and
  3891     "SAT4JLight" to "MiniSat_JNI", "zChaff_JNI", "BerkMin_Alloy", and
  3892     "SAT4J_Light".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3893   - Removed "skolemize", "uncurry", "sym_break", "flatten_prop",
  3894     "sharing_depth", and "show_skolems" options.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3895   - Removed "nitpick_intro" attribute.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3896 
  3897 * Method "induct" now takes instantiations of the form t, where t is not
  3898   a variable, as a shorthand for "x == t", where x is a fresh variable.
  3899   If this is not intended, t has to be enclosed in parentheses.
  3900   By default, the equalities generated by definitional instantiations
  3901   are pre-simplified, which may cause parameters of inductive cases
  3902   to disappear, or may even delete some of the inductive cases.
  3903   Use "induct (no_simp)" instead of "induct" to restore the old
  3904   behaviour. The (no_simp) option is also understood by the "cases"
  3905   and "nominal_induct" methods, which now perform pre-simplification, too.
  3906   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3907 
  3908 
  3909 *** HOLCF ***
  3910 
  3911 * Variable names in lemmas generated by the domain package have
  3912 changed; the naming scheme is now consistent with the HOL datatype
  3913 package.  Some proof scripts may be affected, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3914 
  3915 * The domain package no longer defines the function "foo_copy" for
  3916 recursive domain "foo".  The reach lemma is now stated directly in
  3917 terms of "foo_take".  Lemmas and proofs that mention "foo_copy" must
  3918 be reformulated in terms of "foo_take", INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3919 
  3920 * Most definedness lemmas generated by the domain package (previously
  3921 of the form "x ~= UU ==> foo$x ~= UU") now have an if-and-only-if form
  3922 like "foo$x = UU <-> x = UU", which works better as a simp rule.
  3923 Proofs that used definedness lemmas as intro rules may break,
  3924 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3925 
  3926 * Induction and casedist rules generated by the domain package now
  3927 declare proper case_names (one called "bottom", and one named for each
  3928 constructor).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3929 
  3930 * For mutually-recursive domains, separate "reach" and "take_lemma"
  3931 rules are generated for each domain, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3932 
  3933   foo_bar.reach       ~> foo.reach  bar.reach
  3934   foo_bar.take_lemmas ~> foo.take_lemma  bar.take_lemma
  3935 
  3936 * Some lemmas generated by the domain package have been renamed for
  3937 consistency with the datatype package, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3938 
  3939   foo.ind        ~> foo.induct
  3940   foo.finite_ind ~> foo.finite_induct
  3941   foo.coind      ~> foo.coinduct
  3942   foo.casedist   ~> foo.exhaust
  3943   foo.exhaust    ~> foo.nchotomy
  3944 
  3945 * For consistency with other definition packages, the fixrec package
  3946 now generates qualified theorem names, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3947 
  3948   foo_simps  ~> foo.simps
  3949   foo_unfold ~> foo.unfold
  3950   foo_induct ~> foo.induct
  3951 
  3952 * The "fixrec_simp" attribute has been removed.  The "fixrec_simp"
  3953 method and internal fixrec proofs now use the default simpset instead.
  3954 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3955 
  3956 * The "contlub" predicate has been removed.  Proof scripts should use
  3957 lemma contI2 in place of monocontlub2cont, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3958 
  3959 * The "admw" predicate has been removed, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3960 
  3961 * The constants cpair, cfst, and csnd have been removed in favor of
  3962 Pair, fst, and snd from Isabelle/HOL, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3963 
  3964 
  3965 *** ML ***
  3966 
  3967 * Antiquotations for basic formal entities:
  3968 
  3969     @{class NAME}         -- type class
  3970     @{class_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of the above
  3971 
  3972     @{type_name NAME}     -- logical type
  3973     @{type_abbrev NAME}   -- type abbreviation
  3974     @{nonterminal NAME}   -- type of concrete syntactic category
  3975     @{type_syntax NAME}   -- syntax representation of any of the above
  3976 
  3977     @{const_name NAME}    -- logical constant (INCOMPATIBILITY)
  3978     @{const_abbrev NAME}  -- abbreviated constant
  3979     @{const_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of any of the above
  3980 
  3981 * Antiquotation @{syntax_const NAME} ensures that NAME refers to a raw
  3982 syntax constant (cf. 'syntax' command).
  3983 
  3984 * Antiquotation @{make_string} inlines a function to print arbitrary
  3985 values similar to the ML toplevel.  The result is compiler dependent
  3986 and may fall back on "?" in certain situations.
  3987 
  3988 * Diagnostic commands 'ML_val' and 'ML_command' may refer to
  3989 antiquotations @{Isar.state} and @{Isar.goal}.  This replaces impure
  3990 Isar.state() and Isar.goal(), which belong to the old TTY loop and do
  3991 not work with the asynchronous Isar document model.
  3992 
  3993 * Configuration options now admit dynamic default values, depending on
  3994 the context or even global references.
  3995 
  3996 * SHA1.digest digests strings according to SHA-1 (see RFC 3174).  It
  3997 uses an efficient external library if available (for Poly/ML).
  3998 
  3999 * Renamed some important ML structures, while keeping the old names
  4000 for some time as aliases within the structure Legacy:
  4001 
  4002   OuterKeyword  ~>  Keyword
  4003   OuterLex      ~>  Token
  4004   OuterParse    ~>  Parse
  4005   OuterSyntax   ~>  Outer_Syntax
  4006   PrintMode     ~>  Print_Mode
  4007   SpecParse     ~>  Parse_Spec
  4008   ThyInfo       ~>  Thy_Info
  4009   ThyLoad       ~>  Thy_Load
  4010   ThyOutput     ~>  Thy_Output
  4011   TypeInfer     ~>  Type_Infer
  4012 
  4013 Note that "open Legacy" simplifies porting of sources, but forgetting
  4014 to remove it again will complicate porting again in the future.
  4015 
  4016 * Most operations that refer to a global context are named
  4017 accordingly, e.g. Simplifier.global_context or
  4018 ProofContext.init_global.  There are some situations where a global
  4019 context actually works, but under normal circumstances one needs to
  4020 pass the proper local context through the code!
  4021 
  4022 * Discontinued old TheoryDataFun with its copy/init operation -- data
  4023 needs to be pure.  Functor Theory_Data_PP retains the traditional
  4024 Pretty.pp argument to merge, which is absent in the standard
  4025 Theory_Data version.
  4026 
  4027 * Sorts.certify_sort and derived "cert" operations for types and terms
  4028 no longer minimize sorts.  Thus certification at the boundary of the
  4029 inference kernel becomes invariant under addition of class relations,
  4030 which is an important monotonicity principle.  Sorts are now minimized
  4031 in the syntax layer only, at the boundary between the end-user and the
  4032 system.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY, may have to use Sign.minimize_sort
  4033 explicitly in rare situations.
  4034 
  4035 * Renamed old-style Drule.standard to Drule.export_without_context, to
  4036 emphasize that this is in no way a standard operation.
  4037 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4038 
  4039 * Subgoal.FOCUS (and variants): resulting goal state is normalized as
  4040 usual for resolution.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4041 
  4042 * Renamed varify/unvarify operations to varify_global/unvarify_global
  4043 to emphasize that these only work in a global situation (which is
  4044 quite rare).
  4045 
  4046 * Curried take and drop in library.ML; negative length is interpreted
  4047 as infinity (as in chop).  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4048 
  4049 * Proof terms: type substitutions on proof constants now use canonical
  4050 order of type variables.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools working with proof
  4051 terms.
  4052 
  4053 * Raw axioms/defs may no longer carry sort constraints, and raw defs
  4054 may no longer carry premises.  User-level specifications are
  4055 transformed accordingly by Thm.add_axiom/add_def.
  4056 
  4057 
  4058 *** System ***
  4059 
  4060 * Discontinued special HOL_USEDIR_OPTIONS for the main HOL image;
  4061 ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS applies uniformly to all sessions.  Note that
  4062 proof terms are enabled unconditionally in the new HOL-Proofs image.
  4063 
  4064 * Discontinued old ISABELLE and ISATOOL environment settings (legacy
  4065 feature since Isabelle2009).  Use ISABELLE_PROCESS and ISABELLE_TOOL,
  4066 respectively.
  4067 
  4068 * Old lib/scripts/polyml-platform is superseded by the
  4069 ISABELLE_PLATFORM setting variable, which defaults to the 32 bit
  4070 variant, even on a 64 bit machine.  The following example setting
  4071 prefers 64 bit if available:
  4072 
  4073   ML_PLATFORM="${ISABELLE_PLATFORM64:-$ISABELLE_PLATFORM}"
  4074 
  4075 * The preliminary Isabelle/jEdit application demonstrates the emerging
  4076 Isabelle/Scala layer for advanced prover interaction and integration.
  4077 See src/Tools/jEdit or "isabelle jedit" provided by the properly built
  4078 component.
  4079 
  4080 * "IsabelleText" is a Unicode font derived from Bitstream Vera Mono
  4081 and Bluesky TeX fonts.  It provides the usual Isabelle symbols,
  4082 similar to the default assignment of the document preparation system
  4083 (cf. isabellesym.sty).  The Isabelle/Scala class Isabelle_System
  4084 provides some operations for direct access to the font without asking
  4085 the user for manual installation.
  4086 
  4087 
  4088 
  4089 New in Isabelle2009-1 (December 2009)
  4090 -------------------------------------
  4091 
  4092 *** General ***
  4093 
  4094 * Discontinued old form of "escaped symbols" such as \\<forall>.  Only
  4095 one backslash should be used, even in ML sources.
  4096 
  4097 
  4098 *** Pure ***
  4099 
  4100 * Locale interpretation propagates mixins along the locale hierarchy.
  4101 The currently only available mixins are the equations used to map
  4102 local definitions to terms of the target domain of an interpretation.
  4103 
  4104 * Reactivated diagnostic command 'print_interps'.  Use "print_interps
  4105 loc" to print all interpretations of locale "loc" in the theory.
  4106 Interpretations in proofs are not shown.
  4107 
  4108 * Thoroughly revised locales tutorial.  New section on conditional
  4109 interpretation.
  4110 
  4111 * On instantiation of classes, remaining undefined class parameters
  4112 are formally declared.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4113 
  4114 
  4115 *** Document preparation ***
  4116 
  4117 * New generalized style concept for printing terms: @{foo (style) ...}
  4118 instead of @{foo_style style ...}  (old form is still retained for
  4119 backward compatibility).  Styles can be also applied for
  4120 antiquotations prop, term_type and typeof.
  4121 
  4122 
  4123 *** HOL ***
  4124 
  4125 * New proof method "smt" for a combination of first-order logic with
  4126 equality, linear and nonlinear (natural/integer/real) arithmetic, and
  4127 fixed-size bitvectors; there is also basic support for higher-order
  4128 features (esp. lambda abstractions).  It is an incomplete decision
  4129 procedure based on external SMT solvers using the oracle mechanism;
  4130 for the SMT solver Z3, this method is proof-producing.  Certificates
  4131 are provided to avoid calling the external solvers solely for
  4132 re-checking proofs.  Due to a remote SMT service there is no need for
  4133 installing SMT solvers locally.  See src/HOL/SMT.
  4134 
  4135 * New commands to load and prove verification conditions generated by
  4136 the Boogie program verifier or derived systems (e.g. the Verifying C
  4137 Compiler (VCC) or Spec#).  See src/HOL/Boogie.
  4138 
  4139 * New counterexample generator tool 'nitpick' based on the Kodkod
  4140 relational model finder.  See src/HOL/Tools/Nitpick and
  4141 src/HOL/Nitpick_Examples.
  4142 
  4143 * New commands 'code_pred' and 'values' to invoke the predicate
  4144 compiler and to enumerate values of inductive predicates.
  4145 
  4146 * A tabled implementation of the reflexive transitive closure.
  4147 
  4148 * New implementation of quickcheck uses generic code generator;
  4149 default generators are provided for all suitable HOL types, records
  4150 and datatypes.  Old quickcheck can be re-activated importing theory
  4151 Library/SML_Quickcheck.
  4152 
  4153 * New testing tool Mirabelle for automated proof tools.  Applies
  4154 several tools and tactics like sledgehammer, metis, or quickcheck, to
  4155 every proof step in a theory.  To be used in batch mode via the
  4156 "mirabelle" utility.
  4157 
  4158 * New proof method "sos" (sum of squares) for nonlinear real
  4159 arithmetic (originally due to John Harison). It requires theory
  4160 Library/Sum_Of_Squares.  It is not a complete decision procedure but
  4161 works well in practice on quantifier-free real arithmetic with +, -,
  4162 *, ^, =, <= and <, i.e. boolean combinations of equalities and
  4163 inequalities between polynomials.  It makes use of external
  4164 semidefinite programming solvers.  Method "sos" generates a
  4165 certificate that can be pasted into the proof thus avoiding the need
  4166 to call an external tool every time the proof is checked.  See
  4167 src/HOL/Library/Sum_Of_Squares.
  4168 
  4169 * New method "linarith" invokes existing linear arithmetic decision
  4170 procedure only.
  4171 
  4172 * New command 'atp_minimal' reduces result produced by Sledgehammer.
  4173 
  4174 * New Sledgehammer option "Full Types" in Proof General settings menu.
  4175 Causes full type information to be output to the ATPs.  This slows
  4176 ATPs down considerably but eliminates a source of unsound "proofs"
  4177 that fail later.
  4178 
  4179 * New method "metisFT": A version of metis that uses full type
  4180 information in order to avoid failures of proof reconstruction.
  4181 
  4182 * New evaluator "approximate" approximates an real valued term using
  4183 the same method as the approximation method.
  4184 
  4185 * Method "approximate" now supports arithmetic expressions as
  4186 boundaries of intervals and implements interval splitting and Taylor
  4187 series expansion.
  4188 
  4189 * ML antiquotation @{code_datatype} inserts definition of a datatype
  4190 generated by the code generator; e.g. see src/HOL/Predicate.thy.
  4191 
  4192 * New theory SupInf of the supremum and infimum operators for sets of
  4193 reals.
  4194 
  4195 * New theory Probability, which contains a development of measure
  4196 theory, eventually leading to Lebesgue integration and probability.
  4197 
  4198 * Extended Multivariate Analysis to include derivation and Brouwer's
  4199 fixpoint theorem.
  4200 
  4201 * Reorganization of number theory, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4202   - new number theory development for nat and int, in theories Divides
  4203     and GCD as well as in new session Number_Theory
  4204   - some constants and facts now suffixed with _nat and _int
  4205     accordingly
  4206   - former session NumberTheory now named Old_Number_Theory, including
  4207     theories Legacy_GCD and Primes (prefer Number_Theory if possible)
  4208   - moved theory Pocklington from src/HOL/Library to
  4209     src/HOL/Old_Number_Theory
  4210 
  4211 * Theory GCD includes functions Gcd/GCD and Lcm/LCM for the gcd and
  4212 lcm of finite and infinite sets. It is shown that they form a complete
  4213 lattice.
  4214 
  4215 * Class semiring_div requires superclass no_zero_divisors and proof of
  4216 div_mult_mult1; theorems div_mult_mult1, div_mult_mult2,
  4217 div_mult_mult1_if, div_mult_mult1 and div_mult_mult2 have been
  4218 generalized to class semiring_div, subsuming former theorems
  4219 zdiv_zmult_zmult1, zdiv_zmult_zmult1_if, zdiv_zmult_zmult1 and
  4220 zdiv_zmult_zmult2.  div_mult_mult1 is now [simp] by default.
  4221 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4222 
  4223 * Refinements to lattice classes and sets:
  4224   - less default intro/elim rules in locale variant, more default
  4225     intro/elim rules in class variant: more uniformity
  4226   - lemma ge_sup_conv renamed to le_sup_iff, in accordance with
  4227     le_inf_iff
  4228   - dropped lemma alias inf_ACI for inf_aci (same for sup_ACI and
  4229     sup_aci)
  4230   - renamed ACI to inf_sup_aci
  4231   - new class "boolean_algebra"
  4232   - class "complete_lattice" moved to separate theory
  4233     "Complete_Lattice"; corresponding constants (and abbreviations)
  4234     renamed and with authentic syntax:
  4235     Set.Inf ~>    Complete_Lattice.Inf
  4236     Set.Sup ~>    Complete_Lattice.Sup
  4237     Set.INFI ~>   Complete_Lattice.INFI
  4238     Set.SUPR ~>   Complete_Lattice.SUPR
  4239     Set.Inter ~>  Complete_Lattice.Inter
  4240     Set.Union ~>  Complete_Lattice.Union
  4241     Set.INTER ~>  Complete_Lattice.INTER
  4242     Set.UNION ~>  Complete_Lattice.UNION
  4243   - authentic syntax for
  4244     Set.Pow
  4245     Set.image
  4246   - mere abbreviations:
  4247     Set.empty               (for bot)
  4248     Set.UNIV                (for top)
  4249     Set.inter               (for inf, formerly Set.Int)
  4250     Set.union               (for sup, formerly Set.Un)
  4251     Complete_Lattice.Inter  (for Inf)
  4252     Complete_Lattice.Union  (for Sup)
  4253     Complete_Lattice.INTER  (for INFI)
  4254     Complete_Lattice.UNION  (for SUPR)
  4255   - object-logic definitions as far as appropriate
  4256 
  4257 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Care is required when theorems Int_subset_iff or
  4258 Un_subset_iff are explicitly deleted as default simp rules; then also
  4259 their lattice counterparts le_inf_iff and le_sup_iff have to be
  4260 deleted to achieve the desired effect.
  4261 
  4262 * Rules inf_absorb1, inf_absorb2, sup_absorb1, sup_absorb2 are no simp
  4263 rules by default any longer; the same applies to min_max.inf_absorb1
  4264 etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4265 
  4266 * Rules sup_Int_eq and sup_Un_eq are no longer declared as
  4267 pred_set_conv by default.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4268 
  4269 * Power operations on relations and functions are now one dedicated
  4270 constant "compow" with infix syntax "^^".  Power operation on
  4271 multiplicative monoids retains syntax "^" and is now defined generic
  4272 in class power.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4273 
  4274 * Relation composition "R O S" now has a more standard argument order:
  4275 "R O S = {(x, z). EX y. (x, y) : R & (y, z) : S}".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4276 rewrite propositions with "S O R" --> "R O S". Proofs may occasionally
  4277 break, since the O_assoc rule was not rewritten like this.  Fix using
  4278 O_assoc[symmetric].  The same applies to the curried version "R OO S".
  4279 
  4280 * Function "Inv" is renamed to "inv_into" and function "inv" is now an
  4281 abbreviation for "inv_into UNIV".  Lemmas are renamed accordingly.
  4282 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4283 
  4284 * Most rules produced by inductive and datatype package have mandatory
  4285 prefixes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4286 
  4287 * Changed "DERIV_intros" to a dynamic fact, which can be augmented by
  4288 the attribute of the same name.  Each of the theorems in the list
  4289 DERIV_intros assumes composition with an additional function and
  4290 matches a variable to the derivative, which has to be solved by the
  4291 Simplifier.  Hence (auto intro!: DERIV_intros) computes the derivative
  4292 of most elementary terms.  Former Maclauren.DERIV_tac and
  4293 Maclauren.deriv_tac should be replaced by (auto intro!: DERIV_intros).
  4294 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4295 
  4296 * Code generator attributes follow the usual underscore convention:
  4297     code_unfold     replaces    code unfold
  4298     code_post       replaces    code post
  4299     etc.
  4300   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4301 
  4302 * Renamed methods:
  4303     sizechange -> size_change
  4304     induct_scheme -> induction_schema
  4305   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4306 
  4307 * Discontinued abbreviation "arbitrary" of constant "undefined".
  4308 INCOMPATIBILITY, use "undefined" directly.
  4309 
  4310 * Renamed theorems:
  4311     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  4312     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1_left -> Suc_eq_plus1_left
  4313     Suc_plus1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  4314     *anti_sym -> *antisym*
  4315     vector_less_eq_def -> vector_le_def
  4316   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4317 
  4318 * Added theorem List.map_map as [simp].  Removed List.map_compose.
  4319 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4320 
  4321 * Removed predicate "M hassize n" (<--> card M = n & finite M).
  4322 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4323 
  4324 
  4325 *** HOLCF ***
  4326 
  4327 * Theory Representable defines a class "rep" of domains that are
  4328 representable (via an ep-pair) in the universal domain type "udom".
  4329 Instances are provided for all type constructors defined in HOLCF.
  4330 
  4331 * The 'new_domain' command is a purely definitional version of the
  4332 domain package, for representable domains.  Syntax is identical to the
  4333 old domain package.  The 'new_domain' package also supports indirect
  4334 recursion using previously-defined type constructors.  See
  4335 src/HOLCF/ex/New_Domain.thy for examples.
  4336 
  4337 * Method "fixrec_simp" unfolds one step of a fixrec-defined constant
  4338 on the left-hand side of an equation, and then performs
  4339 simplification.  Rewriting is done using rules declared with the
  4340 "fixrec_simp" attribute.  The "fixrec_simp" method is intended as a
  4341 replacement for "fixpat"; see src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples.
  4342 
  4343 * The pattern-match compiler in 'fixrec' can now handle constructors
  4344 with HOL function types.  Pattern-match combinators for the Pair
  4345 constructor are pre-configured.
  4346 
  4347 * The 'fixrec' package now produces better fixed-point induction rules
  4348 for mutually-recursive definitions:  Induction rules have conclusions
  4349 of the form "P foo bar" instead of "P <foo, bar>".
  4350 
  4351 * The constant "sq_le" (with infix syntax "<<" or "\<sqsubseteq>") has
  4352 been renamed to "below".  The name "below" now replaces "less" in many
  4353 theorem names.  (Legacy theorem names using "less" are still supported
  4354 as well.)
  4355 
  4356 * The 'fixrec' package now supports "bottom patterns".  Bottom
  4357 patterns can be used to generate strictness rules, or to make
  4358 functions more strict (much like the bang-patterns supported by the
  4359 Glasgow Haskell Compiler).  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  4360 examples.
  4361 
  4362 
  4363 *** ML ***
  4364 
  4365 * Support for Poly/ML 5.3.0, with improved reporting of compiler
  4366 errors and run-time exceptions, including detailed source positions.
  4367 
  4368 * Structure Name_Space (formerly NameSpace) now manages uniquely
  4369 identified entries, with some additional information such as source
  4370 position, logical grouping etc.
  4371 
  4372 * Theory and context data is now introduced by the simplified and
  4373 modernized functors Theory_Data, Proof_Data, Generic_Data.  Data needs
  4374 to be pure, but the old TheoryDataFun for mutable data (with explicit
  4375 copy operation) is still available for some time.
  4376 
  4377 * Structure Synchronized (cf. src/Pure/Concurrent/synchronized.ML)
  4378 provides a high-level programming interface to synchronized state
  4379 variables with atomic update.  This works via pure function
  4380 application within a critical section -- its runtime should be as
  4381 short as possible; beware of deadlocks if critical code is nested,
  4382 either directly or indirectly via other synchronized variables!
  4383 
  4384 * Structure Unsynchronized (cf. src/Pure/ML-Systems/unsynchronized.ML)
  4385 wraps raw ML references, explicitly indicating their non-thread-safe
  4386 behaviour.  The Isar toplevel keeps this structure open, to
  4387 accommodate Proof General as well as quick and dirty interactive
  4388 experiments with references.
  4389 
  4390 * PARALLEL_CHOICE and PARALLEL_GOALS provide basic support for
  4391 parallel tactical reasoning.
  4392 
  4393 * Tacticals Subgoal.FOCUS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PREMS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PARAMS
  4394 are similar to SUBPROOF, but are slightly more flexible: only the
  4395 specified parts of the subgoal are imported into the context, and the
  4396 body tactic may introduce new subgoals and schematic variables.
  4397 
  4398 * Old tactical METAHYPS, which does not observe the proof context, has
  4399 been renamed to Old_Goals.METAHYPS and awaits deletion.  Use SUBPROOF
  4400 or Subgoal.FOCUS etc.
  4401 
  4402 * Renamed functor TableFun to Table, and GraphFun to Graph.  (Since
  4403 functors have their own ML name space there is no point to mark them
  4404 separately.)  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4405 
  4406 * Renamed NamedThmsFun to Named_Thms.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4407 
  4408 * Renamed several structures FooBar to Foo_Bar.  Occasional,
  4409 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4410 
  4411 * Operations of structure Skip_Proof no longer require quick_and_dirty
  4412 mode, which avoids critical setmp.
  4413 
  4414 * Eliminated old Attrib.add_attributes, Method.add_methods and related
  4415 combinators for "args".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use simplified
  4416 Attrib/Method.setup introduced in Isabelle2009.
  4417 
  4418 * Proper context for simpset_of, claset_of, clasimpset_of.  May fall
  4419 back on global_simpset_of, global_claset_of, global_clasimpset_of as
  4420 last resort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4421 
  4422 * Display.pretty_thm now requires a proper context (cf. former
  4423 ProofContext.pretty_thm).  May fall back on Display.pretty_thm_global
  4424 or even Display.pretty_thm_without_context as last resort.
  4425 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4426 
  4427 * Discontinued Display.pretty_ctyp/cterm etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  4428 Syntax.pretty_typ/term directly, preferably with proper context
  4429 instead of global theory.
  4430 
  4431 
  4432 *** System ***
  4433 
  4434 * Further fine tuning of parallel proof checking, scales up to 8 cores
  4435 (max. speedup factor 5.0).  See also Goal.parallel_proofs in ML and
  4436 usedir option -q.
  4437 
  4438 * Support for additional "Isabelle components" via etc/components, see
  4439 also the system manual.
  4440 
  4441 * The isabelle makeall tool now operates on all components with
  4442 IsaMakefile, not just hardwired "logics".
  4443 
  4444 * Removed "compress" option from isabelle-process and isabelle usedir;
  4445 this is always enabled.
  4446 
  4447 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 4.x versions.
  4448 
  4449 * Isabelle tool "wwwfind" provides web interface for 'find_theorems'
  4450 on a given logic image.  This requires the lighttpd webserver and is
  4451 currently supported on Linux only.
  4452 
  4453 
  4454 
  4455 New in Isabelle2009 (April 2009)
  4456 --------------------------------
  4457 
  4458 *** General ***
  4459 
  4460 * Simplified main Isabelle executables, with less surprises on
  4461 case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  4462 
  4463   - The main Isabelle tool wrapper is now called "isabelle" instead of
  4464     "isatool."
  4465 
  4466   - The former "isabelle" alias for "isabelle-process" has been
  4467     removed (should rarely occur to regular users).
  4468 
  4469   - The former "isabelle-interface" and its alias "Isabelle" have been
  4470     removed (interfaces are now regular Isabelle tools).
  4471 
  4472 Within scripts and make files, the Isabelle environment variables
  4473 ISABELLE_TOOL and ISABELLE_PROCESS replace old ISATOOL and ISABELLE,
  4474 respectively.  (The latter are still available as legacy feature.)
  4475 
  4476 The old isabelle-interface wrapper could react in confusing ways if
  4477 the interface was uninstalled or changed otherwise.  Individual
  4478 interface tool configuration is now more explicit, see also the
  4479 Isabelle system manual.  In particular, Proof General is now available
  4480 via "isabelle emacs".
  4481 
  4482 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt derivative scripts.  Users may need to
  4483 purge installed copies of Isabelle executables and re-run "isabelle
  4484 install -p ...", or use symlinks.
  4485 
  4486 * The default for ISABELLE_HOME_USER is now ~/.isabelle instead of the
  4487 old ~/isabelle, which was slightly non-standard and apt to cause
  4488 surprises on case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  4489 
  4490 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to move existing ~/isabelle/etc,
  4491 ~/isabelle/heaps, ~/isabelle/browser_info to the new place.  Special
  4492 care is required when using older releases of Isabelle.  Note that
  4493 ISABELLE_HOME_USER can be changed in Isabelle/etc/settings of any
  4494 Isabelle distribution, in order to use the new ~/.isabelle uniformly.
  4495 
  4496 * Proofs of fully specified statements are run in parallel on
  4497 multi-core systems.  A speedup factor of 2.5 to 3.2 can be expected on
  4498 a regular 4-core machine, if the initial heap space is made reasonably
  4499 large (cf. Poly/ML option -H).  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  4500 
  4501 * The main reference manuals ("isar-ref", "implementation", and
  4502 "system") have been updated and extended.  Formally checked references
  4503 as hyperlinks are now available uniformly.
  4504 
  4505 
  4506 *** Pure ***
  4507 
  4508 * Complete re-implementation of locales.  INCOMPATIBILITY in several
  4509 respects.  The most important changes are listed below.  See the
  4510 Tutorial on Locales ("locales" manual) for details.
  4511 
  4512 - In locale expressions, instantiation replaces renaming.  Parameters
  4513 must be declared in a for clause.  To aid compatibility with previous
  4514 parameter inheritance, in locale declarations, parameters that are not
  4515 'touched' (instantiation position "_" or omitted) are implicitly added
  4516 with their syntax at the beginning of the for clause.
  4517 
  4518 - Syntax from abbreviations and definitions in locales is available in
  4519 locale expressions and context elements.  The latter is particularly
  4520 useful in locale declarations.
  4521 
  4522 - More flexible mechanisms to qualify names generated by locale
  4523 expressions.  Qualifiers (prefixes) may be specified in locale
  4524 expressions, and can be marked as mandatory (syntax: "name!:") or
  4525 optional (syntax "name?:").  The default depends for plain "name:"
  4526 depends on the situation where a locale expression is used: in
  4527 commands 'locale' and 'sublocale' prefixes are optional, in
  4528 'interpretation' and 'interpret' prefixes are mandatory.  The old
  4529 implicit qualifiers derived from the parameter names of a locale are
  4530 no longer generated.
  4531 
  4532 - Command "sublocale l < e" replaces "interpretation l < e".  The
  4533 instantiation clause in "interpretation" and "interpret" (square
  4534 brackets) is no longer available.  Use locale expressions.
  4535 
  4536 - When converting proof scripts, mandatory qualifiers in
  4537 'interpretation' and 'interpret' should be retained by default, even
  4538 if this is an INCOMPATIBILITY compared to former behavior.  In the
  4539 worst case, use the "name?:" form for non-mandatory ones.  Qualifiers
  4540 in locale expressions range over a single locale instance only.
  4541 
  4542 - Dropped locale element "includes".  This is a major INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4543 In existing theorem specifications replace the includes element by the
  4544 respective context elements of the included locale, omitting those
  4545 that are already present in the theorem specification.  Multiple
  4546 assume elements of a locale should be replaced by a single one
  4547 involving the locale predicate.  In the proof body, declarations (most
  4548 notably theorems) may be regained by interpreting the respective
  4549 locales in the proof context as required (command "interpret").
  4550 
  4551 If using "includes" in replacement of a target solely because the
  4552 parameter types in the theorem are not as general as in the target,
  4553 consider declaring a new locale with additional type constraints on
  4554 the parameters (context element "constrains").
  4555 
  4556 - Discontinued "locale (open)".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4557 
  4558 - Locale interpretation commands no longer attempt to simplify goal.
  4559 INCOMPATIBILITY: in rare situations the generated goal differs.  Use
  4560 methods intro_locales and unfold_locales to clarify.
  4561 
  4562 - Locale interpretation commands no longer accept interpretation
  4563 attributes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4564 
  4565 * Class declaration: so-called "base sort" must not be given in import
  4566 list any longer, but is inferred from the specification.  Particularly
  4567 in HOL, write
  4568 
  4569     class foo = ...
  4570 
  4571 instead of
  4572 
  4573     class foo = type + ...
  4574 
  4575 * Class target: global versions of theorems stemming do not carry a
  4576 parameter prefix any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4577 
  4578 * Class 'instance' command no longer accepts attached definitions.
  4579 INCOMPATIBILITY, use proper 'instantiation' target instead.
  4580 
  4581 * Recovered hiding of consts, which was accidentally broken in
  4582 Isabelle2007.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, ``hide const c'' really
  4583 makes c inaccessible; consider using ``hide (open) const c'' instead.
  4584 
  4585 * Slightly more coherent Pure syntax, with updated documentation in
  4586 isar-ref manual.  Removed locales meta_term_syntax and
  4587 meta_conjunction_syntax: TERM and &&& (formerly &&) are now permanent,
  4588 INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations.  Note that &&& should not be used
  4589 directly in regular applications.
  4590 
  4591 * There is a new syntactic category "float_const" for signed decimal
  4592 fractions (e.g. 123.45 or -123.45).
  4593 
  4594 * Removed exotic 'token_translation' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML
  4595 interface with 'setup' command instead.
  4596 
  4597 * Command 'local_setup' is similar to 'setup', but operates on a local
  4598 theory context.
  4599 
  4600 * The 'axiomatization' command now only works within a global theory
  4601 context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4602 
  4603 * Goal-directed proof now enforces strict proof irrelevance wrt. sort
  4604 hypotheses.  Sorts required in the course of reasoning need to be
  4605 covered by the constraints in the initial statement, completed by the
  4606 type instance information of the background theory.  Non-trivial sort
  4607 hypotheses, which rarely occur in practice, may be specified via
  4608 vacuous propositions of the form SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::c).  For example:
  4609 
  4610   lemma assumes "SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::empty)" shows False ...
  4611 
  4612 The result contains an implicit sort hypotheses as before --
  4613 SORT_CONSTRAINT premises are eliminated as part of the canonical rule
  4614 normalization.
  4615 
  4616 * Generalized Isar history, with support for linear undo, direct state
  4617 addressing etc.
  4618 
  4619 * Changed defaults for unify configuration options:
  4620 
  4621   unify_trace_bound = 50 (formerly 25)
  4622   unify_search_bound = 60 (formerly 30)
  4623 
  4624 * Different bookkeeping for code equations (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  4625 
  4626   a) On theory merge, the last set of code equations for a particular
  4627      constant is taken (in accordance with the policy applied by other
  4628      parts of the code generator framework).
  4629 
  4630   b) Code equations stemming from explicit declarations (e.g. code
  4631      attribute) gain priority over default code equations stemming
  4632      from definition, primrec, fun etc.
  4633 
  4634 * Keyword 'code_exception' now named 'code_abort'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4635 
  4636 * Unified theorem tables for both code generators.  Thus [code
  4637 func] has disappeared and only [code] remains.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4638 
  4639 * Command 'find_consts' searches for constants based on type and name
  4640 patterns, e.g.
  4641 
  4642     find_consts "_ => bool"
  4643 
  4644 By default, matching is against subtypes, but it may be restricted to
  4645 the whole type.  Searching by name is possible.  Multiple queries are
  4646 conjunctive and queries may be negated by prefixing them with a
  4647 hyphen:
  4648 
  4649     find_consts strict: "_ => bool" name: "Int" -"int => int"
  4650 
  4651 * New 'find_theorems' criterion "solves" matches theorems that
  4652 directly solve the current goal (modulo higher-order unification).
  4653 
  4654 * Auto solve feature for main theorem statements: whenever a new goal
  4655 is stated, "find_theorems solves" is called; any theorems that could
  4656 solve the lemma directly are listed as part of the goal state.
  4657 Cf. associated options in Proof General Isabelle settings menu,
  4658 enabled by default, with reasonable timeout for pathological cases of
  4659 higher-order unification.
  4660 
  4661 
  4662 *** Document preparation ***
  4663 
  4664 * Antiquotation @{lemma} now imitates a regular terminal proof,
  4665 demanding keyword 'by' and supporting the full method expression
  4666 syntax just like the Isar command 'by'.
  4667 
  4668 
  4669 *** HOL ***
  4670 
  4671 * Integrated main parts of former image HOL-Complex with HOL.  Entry
  4672 points Main and Complex_Main remain as before.
  4673 
  4674 * Logic image HOL-Plain provides a minimal HOL with the most important
  4675 tools available (inductive, datatype, primrec, ...).  This facilitates
  4676 experimentation and tool development.  Note that user applications
  4677 (and library theories) should never refer to anything below theory
  4678 Main, as before.
  4679 
  4680 * Logic image HOL-Main stops at theory Main, and thus facilitates
  4681 experimentation due to shorter build times.
  4682 
  4683 * Logic image HOL-NSA contains theories of nonstandard analysis which
  4684 were previously part of former HOL-Complex.  Entry point Hyperreal
  4685 remains valid, but theories formerly using Complex_Main should now use
  4686 new entry point Hypercomplex.
  4687 
  4688 * Generic ATP manager for Sledgehammer, based on ML threads instead of
  4689 Posix processes.  Avoids potentially expensive forking of the ML
  4690 process.  New thread-based implementation also works on non-Unix
  4691 platforms (Cygwin).  Provers are no longer hardwired, but defined
  4692 within the theory via plain ML wrapper functions.  Basic Sledgehammer
  4693 commands are covered in the isar-ref manual.
  4694 
  4695 * Wrapper scripts for remote SystemOnTPTP service allows to use
  4696 sledgehammer without local ATP installation (Vampire etc.). Other
  4697 provers may be included via suitable ML wrappers, see also
  4698 src/HOL/ATP_Linkup.thy.
  4699 
  4700 * ATP selection (E/Vampire/Spass) is now via Proof General's settings
  4701 menu.
  4702 
  4703 * The metis method no longer fails because the theorem is too trivial
  4704 (contains the empty clause).
  4705 
  4706 * The metis method now fails in the usual manner, rather than raising
  4707 an exception, if it determines that it cannot prove the theorem.
  4708 
  4709 * Method "coherent" implements a prover for coherent logic (see also
  4710 src/Tools/coherent.ML).
  4711 
  4712 * Constants "undefined" and "default" replace "arbitrary".  Usually
  4713 "undefined" is the right choice to replace "arbitrary", though
  4714 logically there is no difference.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4715 
  4716 * Command "value" now integrates different evaluation mechanisms.  The
  4717 result of the first successful evaluation mechanism is printed.  In
  4718 square brackets a particular named evaluation mechanisms may be
  4719 specified (currently, [SML], [code] or [nbe]).  See further
  4720 src/HOL/ex/Eval_Examples.thy.
  4721 
  4722 * Normalization by evaluation now allows non-leftlinear equations.
  4723 Declare with attribute [code nbe].
  4724 
  4725 * Methods "case_tac" and "induct_tac" now refer to the very same rules
  4726 as the structured Isar versions "cases" and "induct", cf. the
  4727 corresponding "cases" and "induct" attributes.  Mutual induction rules
  4728 are now presented as a list of individual projections
  4729 (e.g. foo_bar.inducts for types foo and bar); the old format with
  4730 explicit HOL conjunction is no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  4731 rare situations a different rule is selected --- notably nested tuple
  4732 elimination instead of former prod.exhaust: use explicit (case_tac t
  4733 rule: prod.exhaust) here.
  4734 
  4735 * Attributes "cases", "induct", "coinduct" support "del" option.
  4736 
  4737 * Removed fact "case_split_thm", which duplicates "case_split".
  4738 
  4739 * The option datatype has been moved to a new theory Option.  Renamed
  4740 option_map to Option.map, and o2s to Option.set, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4741 
  4742 * New predicate "strict_mono" classifies strict functions on partial
  4743 orders.  With strict functions on linear orders, reasoning about
  4744 (in)equalities is facilitated by theorems "strict_mono_eq",
  4745 "strict_mono_less_eq" and "strict_mono_less".
  4746 
  4747 * Some set operations are now proper qualified constants with
  4748 authentic syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4749 
  4750     op Int ~>   Set.Int
  4751     op Un ~>    Set.Un
  4752     INTER ~>    Set.INTER
  4753     UNION ~>    Set.UNION
  4754     Inter ~>    Set.Inter
  4755     Union ~>    Set.Union
  4756     {} ~>       Set.empty
  4757     UNIV ~>     Set.UNIV
  4758 
  4759 * Class complete_lattice with operations Inf, Sup, INFI, SUPR now in
  4760 theory Set.
  4761 
  4762 * Auxiliary class "itself" has disappeared -- classes without any
  4763 parameter are treated as expected by the 'class' command.
  4764 
  4765 * Leibnitz's Series for Pi and the arcus tangens and logarithm series.
  4766 
  4767 * Common decision procedures (Cooper, MIR, Ferrack, Approximation,
  4768 Dense_Linear_Order) are now in directory HOL/Decision_Procs.
  4769 
  4770 * Theory src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation provides the new proof
  4771 method "approximation".  It proves formulas on real values by using
  4772 interval arithmetic.  In the formulas are also the transcendental
  4773 functions sin, cos, tan, atan, ln, exp and the constant pi are
  4774 allowed. For examples see
  4775 src/HOL/Descision_Procs/ex/Approximation_Ex.thy.
  4776 
  4777 * Theory "Reflection" now resides in HOL/Library.
  4778 
  4779 * Entry point to Word library now simply named "Word".
  4780 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4781 
  4782 * Made source layout more coherent with logical distribution
  4783 structure:

  4836 
  4837 * If methods "eval" and "evaluation" encounter a structured proof
  4838 state with !!/==>, only the conclusion is evaluated to True (if
  4839 possible), avoiding strange error messages.
  4840 
  4841 * Method "sizechange" automates termination proofs using (a
  4842 modification of) the size-change principle.  Requires SAT solver.  See
  4843 src/HOL/ex/Termination.thy for examples.
  4844 
  4845 * Simplifier: simproc for let expressions now unfolds if bound
  4846 variable occurs at most once in let expression body.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4847 
  4848 * Method "arith": Linear arithmetic now ignores all inequalities when
  4849 fast_arith_neq_limit is exceeded, instead of giving up entirely.
  4850 
  4851 * New attribute "arith" for facts that should always be used
  4852 automatically by arithmetic. It is intended to be used locally in
  4853 proofs, e.g.
  4854 
  4855   assumes [arith]: "x > 0"
  4856 
  4857 Global usage is discouraged because of possible performance impact.
  4858 
  4859 * New classes "top" and "bot" with corresponding operations "top" and
  4860 "bot" in theory Orderings; instantiation of class "complete_lattice"
  4861 requires instantiation of classes "top" and "bot".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4862 
  4863 * Changed definition lemma "less_fun_def" in order to provide an
  4864 instance for preorders on functions; use lemma "less_le" instead.
  4865 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4866 
  4867 * Theory Orderings: class "wellorder" moved here, with explicit
  4868 induction rule "less_induct" as assumption.  For instantiation of
  4869 "wellorder" by means of predicate "wf", use rule wf_wellorderI.
  4870 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4871 
  4872 * Theory Orderings: added class "preorder" as superclass of "order".
  4873 INCOMPATIBILITY: Instantiation proofs for order, linorder
  4874 etc. slightly changed.  Some theorems named order_class.* now named
  4875 preorder_class.*.
  4876 
  4877 * Theory Relation: renamed "refl" to "refl_on", "reflexive" to "refl,
  4878 "diag" to "Id_on".
  4879 
  4880 * Theory Finite_Set: added a new fold combinator of type
  4881 
  4882   ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  4883 
  4884 Occasionally this is more convenient than the old fold combinator
  4885 which is now defined in terms of the new one and renamed to
  4886 fold_image.
  4887 
  4888 * Theories Ring_and_Field and OrderedGroup: The lemmas "group_simps"
  4889 and "ring_simps" have been replaced by "algebra_simps" (which can be
  4890 extended with further lemmas!).  At the moment both still exist but
  4891 the former will disappear at some point.
  4892 
  4893 * Theory Power: Lemma power_Suc is now declared as a simp rule in
  4894 class recpower.  Type-specific simp rules for various recpower types
  4895 have been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, rename old lemmas as follows:
  4896 
  4897 rat_power_0    -> power_0
  4898 rat_power_Suc  -> power_Suc
  4899 realpow_0      -> power_0
  4900 realpow_Suc    -> power_Suc
  4901 complexpow_0   -> power_0
  4902 complexpow_Suc -> power_Suc
  4903 power_poly_0   -> power_0
  4904 power_poly_Suc -> power_Suc
  4905 
  4906 * Theories Ring_and_Field and Divides: Definition of "op dvd" has been
  4907 moved to separate class dvd in Ring_and_Field; a couple of lemmas on
  4908 dvd has been generalized to class comm_semiring_1.  Likewise a bunch
  4909 of lemmas from Divides has been generalized from nat to class
  4910 semiring_div.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  This involves the following theorem
  4911 renames resulting from duplicate elimination:
  4912 
  4913     dvd_def_mod ~>          dvd_eq_mod_eq_0
  4914     zero_dvd_iff ~>         dvd_0_left_iff
  4915     dvd_0 ~>                dvd_0_right
  4916     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_DIV ~> div_by_0
  4917     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_MOD ~> mod_by_0
  4918     mult_div ~>             div_mult_self2_is_id
  4919     mult_mod ~>             mod_mult_self2_is_0
  4920 
  4921 * Theory IntDiv: removed many lemmas that are instances of class-based
  4922 generalizations (from Divides and Ring_and_Field).  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4923 rename old lemmas as follows:
  4924 
  4925 dvd_diff               -> nat_dvd_diff
  4926 dvd_zminus_iff         -> dvd_minus_iff
  4927 mod_add1_eq            -> mod_add_eq

  4930 mod_mult_distrib_mod   -> mod_mult_eq
  4931 nat_mod_add_left_eq    -> mod_add_left_eq
  4932 nat_mod_add_right_eq   -> mod_add_right_eq
  4933 nat_mod_div_trivial    -> mod_div_trivial
  4934 nat_mod_mod_trivial    -> mod_mod_trivial
  4935 zdiv_zadd_self1        -> div_add_self1
  4936 zdiv_zadd_self2        -> div_add_self2
  4937 zdiv_zmult_self1       -> div_mult_self2_is_id
  4938 zdiv_zmult_self2       -> div_mult_self1_is_id
  4939 zdvd_triv_left         -> dvd_triv_left
  4940 zdvd_triv_right        -> dvd_triv_right
  4941 zdvd_zmult_cancel_disj -> dvd_mult_cancel_left
  4942 zmod_eq0_zdvd_iff      -> dvd_eq_mod_eq_0[symmetric]
  4943 zmod_zadd_left_eq      -> mod_add_left_eq
  4944 zmod_zadd_right_eq     -> mod_add_right_eq
  4945 zmod_zadd_self1        -> mod_add_self1
  4946 zmod_zadd_self2        -> mod_add_self2
  4947 zmod_zadd1_eq          -> mod_add_eq
  4948 zmod_zdiff1_eq         -> mod_diff_eq
  4949 zmod_zdvd_zmod         -> mod_mod_cancel
  4950 zmod_zmod_cancel       -> mod_mod_cancel
  4951 zmod_zmult_self1       -> mod_mult_self2_is_0

  4953 zmod_1                 -> mod_by_1
  4954 zdiv_1                 -> div_by_1
  4955 zdvd_abs1              -> abs_dvd_iff
  4956 zdvd_abs2              -> dvd_abs_iff
  4957 zdvd_refl              -> dvd_refl
  4958 zdvd_trans             -> dvd_trans
  4959 zdvd_zadd              -> dvd_add
  4960 zdvd_zdiff             -> dvd_diff

  4963 zdvd_zmultD            -> dvd_mult_right
  4964 zdvd_zmultD2           -> dvd_mult_left
  4965 zdvd_zmult_mono        -> mult_dvd_mono
  4966 zdvd_0_right           -> dvd_0_right
  4967 zdvd_0_left            -> dvd_0_left_iff
  4968 zdvd_1_left            -> one_dvd
  4969 zminus_dvd_iff         -> minus_dvd_iff
  4970 
  4971 * Theory Rational: 'Fract k 0' now equals '0'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4972 
  4973 * The real numbers offer decimal input syntax: 12.34 is translated
  4974 into 1234/10^2. This translation is not reversed upon output.
  4975 
  4976 * Theory Library/Polynomial defines an abstract type 'a poly of
  4977 univariate polynomials with coefficients of type 'a.  In addition to
  4978 the standard ring operations, it also supports div and mod.  Code
  4979 generation is also supported, using list-style constructors.
  4980 
  4981 * Theory Library/Inner_Product defines a class of real_inner for real
  4982 inner product spaces, with an overloaded operation inner :: 'a => 'a
  4983 => real.  Class real_inner is a subclass of real_normed_vector from
  4984 theory RealVector.
  4985 
  4986 * Theory Library/Product_Vector provides instances for the product
  4987 type 'a * 'b of several classes from RealVector and Inner_Product.
  4988 Definitions of addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, norms,
  4989 and inner products are included.
  4990 
  4991 * Theory Library/Bit defines the field "bit" of integers modulo 2.  In
  4992 addition to the field operations, numerals and case syntax are also
  4993 supported.
  4994 
  4995 * Theory Library/Diagonalize provides constructive version of Cantor's
  4996 first diagonalization argument.
  4997 
  4998 * Theory Library/GCD: Curried operations gcd, lcm (for nat) and zgcd,
  4999 zlcm (for int); carried together from various gcd/lcm developements in
  5000 the HOL Distribution.  Constants zgcd and zlcm replace former igcd and
  5001 ilcm; corresponding theorems renamed accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  5002 may recover tupled syntax as follows:
  5003 
  5004     hide (open) const gcd
  5005     abbreviation gcd where
  5006       "gcd == (%(a, b). GCD.gcd a b)"
  5007     notation (output)
  5008       GCD.gcd ("gcd '(_, _')")
  5009 
  5010 The same works for lcm, zgcd, zlcm.
  5011 
  5012 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity: added addition, numeral syntax and more
  5013 instantiations for algebraic structures.  Removed some duplicate
  5014 theorems.  Changes in simp rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5015 
  5016 * ML antiquotation @{code} takes a constant as argument and generates
  5017 corresponding code in background and inserts name of the corresponding
  5018 resulting ML value/function/datatype constructor binding in place.
  5019 All occurrences of @{code} with a single ML block are generated
  5020 simultaneously.  Provides a generic and safe interface for
  5021 instrumentalizing code generation.  See
  5022 src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Ferrack.thy for a more ambitious application.
  5023 In future you ought to refrain from ad-hoc compiling generated SML
  5024 code on the ML toplevel.  Note that (for technical reasons) @{code}
  5025 cannot refer to constants for which user-defined serializations are
  5026 set.  Refer to the corresponding ML counterpart directly in that
  5027 cases.
  5028 
  5029 * Command 'rep_datatype': instead of theorem names the command now
  5030 takes a list of terms denoting the constructors of the type to be
  5031 represented as datatype.  The characteristic theorems have to be
  5032 proven.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Also observe that the following theorems
  5033 have disappeared in favour of existing ones:
  5034 
  5035     unit_induct                 ~> unit.induct
  5036     prod_induct                 ~> prod.induct
  5037     sum_induct                  ~> sum.induct
  5038     Suc_Suc_eq                  ~> nat.inject
  5039     Suc_not_Zero Zero_not_Suc   ~> nat.distinct
  5040 
  5041 
  5042 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  5043 
  5044 * New locales for orders and lattices where the equivalence relation
  5045 is not restricted to equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY: all order and lattice
  5046 locales use a record structure with field eq for the equivalence.
  5047 
  5048 * New theory of factorial domains.
  5049 
  5050 * Units_l_inv and Units_r_inv are now simp rules by default.
  5051 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Simplifier proof that require deletion of l_inv
  5052 and/or r_inv will now also require deletion of these lemmas.
  5053 
  5054 * Renamed the following theorems, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5055 
  5056 UpperD ~> Upper_memD
  5057 LowerD ~> Lower_memD
  5058 least_carrier ~> least_closed
  5059 greatest_carrier ~> greatest_closed
  5060 greatest_Lower_above ~> greatest_Lower_below
  5061 one_zero ~> carrier_one_zero
  5062 one_not_zero ~> carrier_one_not_zero  (collision with assumption)
  5063 
  5064 
  5065 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  5066 
  5067 * Nominal datatypes can now contain type-variables.
  5068 
  5069 * Commands 'nominal_inductive' and 'equivariance' work with local
  5070 theory targets.
  5071 
  5072 * Nominal primrec can now works with local theory targets and its
  5073 specification syntax now conforms to the general format as seen in
  5074 'inductive' etc.
  5075 
  5076 * Method "perm_simp" honours the standard simplifier attributes
  5077 (no_asm), (no_asm_use) etc.
  5078 
  5079 * The new predicate #* is defined like freshness, except that on the
  5080 left hand side can be a set or list of atoms.
  5081 
  5082 * Experimental command 'nominal_inductive2' derives strong induction
  5083 principles for inductive definitions.  In contrast to
  5084 'nominal_inductive', which can only deal with a fixed number of
  5085 binders, it can deal with arbitrary expressions standing for sets of
  5086 atoms to be avoided.  The only inductive definition we have at the
  5087 moment that needs this generalisation is the typing rule for Lets in
  5088 the algorithm W:
  5089 
  5090  Gamma |- t1 : T1   (x,close Gamma T1)::Gamma |- t2 : T2   x#Gamma
  5091  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  5092          Gamma |- Let x be t1 in t2 : T2
  5093 
  5094 In this rule one wants to avoid all the binders that are introduced by
  5095 "close Gamma T1".  We are looking for other examples where this
  5096 feature might be useful.  Please let us know.
  5097 
  5098 
  5099 *** HOLCF ***
  5100 
  5101 * Reimplemented the simplification procedure for proving continuity
  5102 subgoals.  The new simproc is extensible; users can declare additional
  5103 continuity introduction rules with the attribute [cont2cont].
  5104 
  5105 * The continuity simproc now uses a different introduction rule for
  5106 solving continuity subgoals on terms with lambda abstractions.  In
  5107 some rare cases the new simproc may fail to solve subgoals that the
  5108 old one could solve, and "simp add: cont2cont_LAM" may be necessary.
  5109 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5110 
  5111 * Command 'fixrec': specification syntax now conforms to the general
  5112 format as seen in 'inductive' etc.  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  5113 examples.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5114 
  5115 
  5116 *** ZF ***
  5117 
  5118 * Proof of Zorn's Lemma for partial orders.
  5119 
  5120 
  5121 *** ML ***
  5122 
  5123 * Multithreading for Poly/ML 5.1/5.2 is no longer supported, only for
  5124 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.  Important note: the TimeLimit facility
  5125 depends on multithreading, so timouts will not work before Poly/ML
  5126 5.2.1!
  5127 
  5128 * High-level support for concurrent ML programming, see
  5129 src/Pure/Cuncurrent.  The data-oriented model of "future values" is
  5130 particularly convenient to organize independent functional
  5131 computations.  The concept of "synchronized variables" provides a
  5132 higher-order interface for components with shared state, avoiding the
  5133 delicate details of mutexes and condition variables.  (Requires
  5134 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  5135 
  5136 * ML bindings produced via Isar commands are stored within the Isar
  5137 context (theory or proof).  Consequently, commands like 'use' and 'ML'
  5138 become thread-safe and work with undo as expected (concerning
  5139 top-level bindings, not side-effects on global references).
  5140 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to provide proper Isar context when invoking the
  5141 compiler at runtime; really global bindings need to be given outside a
  5142 theory.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  5143 
  5144 * Command 'ML_prf' is analogous to 'ML' but works within a proof
  5145 context.  Top-level ML bindings are stored within the proof context in
  5146 a purely sequential fashion, disregarding the nested proof structure.
  5147 ML bindings introduced by 'ML_prf' are discarded at the end of the
  5148 proof.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  5149 
  5150 * Simplified ML attribute and method setup, cf. functions Attrib.setup
  5151 and Method.setup, as well as Isar commands 'attribute_setup' and
  5152 'method_setup'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for 'method_setup', need to simplify
  5153 existing code accordingly, or use plain 'setup' together with old
  5154 Method.add_method.
  5155 
  5156 * Simplified ML oracle interface Thm.add_oracle promotes 'a -> cterm
  5157 to 'a -> thm, while results are always tagged with an authentic oracle
  5158 name.  The Isar command 'oracle' is now polymorphic, no argument type
  5159 is specified.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify existing oracle code
  5160 accordingly.  Note that extra performance may be gained by producing
  5161 the cterm carefully, avoiding slow Thm.cterm_of.
  5162 
  5163 * Simplified interface for defining document antiquotations via
  5164 ThyOutput.antiquotation, ThyOutput.output, and optionally
  5165 ThyOutput.maybe_pretty_source.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify user
  5166 antiquotations accordingly, see src/Pure/Thy/thy_output.ML for common
  5167 examples.
  5168 
  5169 * More systematic treatment of long names, abstract name bindings, and
  5170 name space operations.  Basic operations on qualified names have been
  5171 move from structure NameSpace to Long_Name, e.g. Long_Name.base_name,
  5172 Long_Name.append.  Old type bstring has been mostly replaced by
  5173 abstract type binding (see structure Binding), which supports precise
  5174 qualification by packages and local theory targets, as well as proper
  5175 tracking of source positions.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to wrap old
  5176 bstring values into Binding.name, or better pass through abstract
  5177 bindings everywhere.  See further src/Pure/General/long_name.ML,
  5178 src/Pure/General/binding.ML and src/Pure/General/name_space.ML
  5179 
  5180 * Result facts (from PureThy.note_thms, ProofContext.note_thms,
  5181 LocalTheory.note etc.) now refer to the *full* internal name, not the
  5182 bstring as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY, not detected by ML type-checking!
  5183 
  5184 * Disposed old type and term read functions (Sign.read_def_typ,
  5185 Sign.read_typ, Sign.read_def_terms, Sign.read_term,
  5186 Thm.read_def_cterms, Thm.read_cterm etc.).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should
  5187 use regular Syntax.read_typ, Syntax.read_term, Syntax.read_typ_global,
  5188 Syntax.read_term_global etc.; see also OldGoals.read_term as last
  5189 resort for legacy applications.
  5190 
  5191 * Disposed old declarations, tactics, tactic combinators that refer to
  5192 the simpset or claset of an implicit theory (such as Addsimps,
  5193 Simp_tac, SIMPSET).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should use @{simpset} etc. in
  5194 embedded ML text, or local_simpset_of with a proper context passed as
  5195 explicit runtime argument.
  5196 
  5197 * Rules and tactics that read instantiations (read_instantiate,
  5198 res_inst_tac, thin_tac, subgoal_tac etc.) now demand a proper proof
  5199 context, which is required for parsing and type-checking.  Moreover,
  5200 the variables are specified as plain indexnames, not string encodings
  5201 thereof.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5202 
  5203 * Generic Toplevel.add_hook interface allows to analyze the result of
  5204 transactions.  E.g. see src/Pure/ProofGeneral/proof_general_pgip.ML
  5205 for theorem dependency output of transactions resulting in a new
  5206 theory state.
  5207 
  5208 * ML antiquotations: block-structured compilation context indicated by
  5209 \<lbrace> ... \<rbrace>; additional antiquotation forms:
  5210 
  5211   @{binding name}                         - basic name binding
  5212   @{let ?pat = term}                      - term abbreviation (HO matching)
  5213   @{note name = fact}                     - fact abbreviation
  5214   @{thm fact}                             - singleton fact (with attributes)
  5215   @{thms fact}                            - general fact (with attributes)
  5216   @{lemma prop by method}                 - singleton goal
  5217   @{lemma prop by meth1 meth2}            - singleton goal
  5218   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by method}      - general goal
  5219   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by meth1 meth2} - general goal
  5220   @{lemma (open) ...}                     - open derivation
  5221 
  5222 
  5223 *** System ***
  5224 
  5225 * The Isabelle "emacs" tool provides a specific interface to invoke
  5226 Proof General / Emacs, with more explicit failure if that is not
  5227 installed (the old isabelle-interface script silently falls back on
  5228 isabelle-process).  The PROOFGENERAL_HOME setting determines the
  5229 installation location of the Proof General distribution.
  5230 
  5231 * Isabelle/lib/classes/Pure.jar provides basic support to integrate
  5232 the Isabelle process into a JVM/Scala application.  See
  5233 Isabelle/lib/jedit/plugin for a minimal example.  (The obsolete Java
  5234 process wrapper has been discontinued.)
  5235 
  5236 * Added homegrown Isabelle font with unicode layout, see lib/fonts.
  5237 
  5238 * Various status messages (with exact source position information) are
  5239 emitted, if proper markup print mode is enabled.  This allows
  5240 user-interface components to provide detailed feedback on internal
  5241 prover operations.
  5242 
  5243 
  5244 
  5245 New in Isabelle2008 (June 2008)
  5246 -------------------------------
  5247 
  5248 *** General ***
  5249 
  5250 * The Isabelle/Isar Reference Manual (isar-ref) has been reorganized
  5251 and updated, with formally checked references as hyperlinks.
  5252 
  5253 * Theory loader: use_thy (and similar operations) no longer set the
  5254 implicit ML context, which was occasionally hard to predict and in
  5255 conflict with concurrency.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML within Isar which
  5256 provides a proper context already.
  5257 
  5258 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  5259 file are no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, regular 'uses' and
  5260 'use' within a theory file will do the job.
  5261 
  5262 * Name space merge now observes canonical order, i.e. the second space
  5263 is inserted into the first one, while existing entries in the first
  5264 space take precedence.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, may try to
  5265 swap theory imports.
  5266 
  5267 * Syntax: symbol \<chi> is now considered a letter.  Potential
  5268 INCOMPATIBILITY in identifier syntax etc.
  5269 
  5270 * Outer syntax: string tokens no longer admit escaped white space,
  5271 which was an accidental (undocumented) feature.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5272 white space without escapes.
  5273 
  5274 * Outer syntax: string tokens may contain arbitrary character codes
  5275 specified via 3 decimal digits (as in SML).  E.g. "foo\095bar" for
  5276 "foo_bar".
  5277 
  5278 
  5279 *** Pure ***
  5280 
  5281 * Context-dependent token translations.  Default setup reverts locally
  5282 fixed variables, and adds hilite markup for undeclared frees.
  5283 
  5284 * Unused theorems can be found using the new command 'unused_thms'.
  5285 There are three ways of invoking it:
  5286 
  5287 (1) unused_thms
  5288      Only finds unused theorems in the current theory.
  5289 
  5290 (2) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n -
  5291      Finds unused theorems in the current theory and all of its ancestors,
  5292      excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of their ancestors.
  5293 
  5294 (3) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n - thy'_1 ... thy'_m
  5295      Finds unused theorems in the theories thy'_1 ... thy'_m and all of
  5296      their ancestors, excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of
  5297      their ancestors.
  5298 
  5299 In order to increase the readability of the list produced by
  5300 unused_thms, theorems that have been created by a particular instance
  5301 of a theory command such as 'inductive' or 'function' are considered
  5302 to belong to the same "group", meaning that if at least one theorem in
  5303 this group is used, the other theorems in the same group are no longer
  5304 reported as unused.  Moreover, if all theorems in the group are
  5305 unused, only one theorem in the group is displayed.
  5306 
  5307 Note that proof objects have to be switched on in order for
  5308 unused_thms to work properly (i.e. !proofs must be >= 1, which is
  5309 usually the case when using Proof General with the default settings).
  5310 
  5311 * Authentic naming of facts disallows ad-hoc overwriting of previous
  5312 theorems within the same name space.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to remove
  5313 duplicate fact bindings, or even accidental fact duplications.  Note
  5314 that tools may maintain dynamically scoped facts systematically, using
  5315 PureThy.add_thms_dynamic.
  5316 
  5317 * Command 'hide' now allows to hide from "fact" name space as well.
  5318 
  5319 * Eliminated destructive theorem database, simpset, claset, and
  5320 clasimpset.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, really need to observe linear
  5321 update of theories within ML code.
  5322 
  5323 * Eliminated theory ProtoPure and CPure, leaving just one Pure theory.
  5324 INCOMPATIBILITY, object-logics depending on former Pure require
  5325 additional setup PureThy.old_appl_syntax_setup; object-logics
  5326 depending on former CPure need to refer to Pure.
  5327 
  5328 * Commands 'use' and 'ML' are now purely functional, operating on
  5329 theory/local_theory.  Removed former 'ML_setup' (on theory), use 'ML'
  5330 instead.  Added 'ML_val' as mere diagnostic replacement for 'ML'.
  5331 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5332 
  5333 * Command 'setup': discontinued implicit version with ML reference.
  5334 
  5335 * Instantiation target allows for simultaneous specification of class
  5336 instance operations together with an instantiation proof.
  5337 Type-checking phase allows to refer to class operations uniformly.
  5338 See src/HOL/Complex/Complex.thy for an Isar example and
  5339 src/HOL/Library/Eval.thy for an ML example.
  5340 
  5341 * Indexing of literal facts: be more serious about including only
  5342 facts from the visible specification/proof context, but not the
  5343 background context (locale etc.).  Affects `prop` notation and method
  5344 "fact".  INCOMPATIBILITY: need to name facts explicitly in rare
  5345 situations.
  5346 
  5347 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": removed obsolete/undocumented
  5348 "(open)" option, which used to expose internal bound variables to the
  5349 proof text.
  5350 
  5351 * Isar statements: removed obsolete case "rule_context".
  5352 INCOMPATIBILITY, better use explicit fixes/assumes.
  5353 
  5354 * Locale proofs: default proof step now includes 'unfold_locales';
  5355 hence 'proof' without argument may be used to unfold locale
  5356 predicates.
  5357 
  5358 
  5359 *** Document preparation ***
  5360 
  5361 * Simplified pdfsetup.sty: color/hyperref is used unconditionally for
  5362 both pdf and dvi (hyperlinks usually work in xdvi as well); removed
  5363 obsolete thumbpdf setup (contemporary PDF viewers do this on the
  5364 spot); renamed link color from "darkblue" to "linkcolor" (default
  5365 value unchanged, can be redefined via \definecolor); no longer sets
  5366 "a4paper" option (unnecessary or even intrusive).
  5367 
  5368 * Antiquotation @{lemma A method} proves proposition A by the given
  5369 method (either a method name or a method name plus (optional) method
  5370 arguments in parentheses) and prints A just like @{prop A}.
  5371 
  5372 
  5373 *** HOL ***
  5374 
  5375 * New primrec package.  Specification syntax conforms in style to
  5376 definition/function/....  No separate induction rule is provided.  The
  5377 "primrec" command distinguishes old-style and new-style specifications
  5378 by syntax.  The former primrec package is now named OldPrimrecPackage.
  5379 When adjusting theories, beware: constants stemming from new-style
  5380 primrec specifications have authentic syntax.
  5381 
  5382 * Metis prover is now an order of magnitude faster, and also works
  5383 with multithreading.
  5384 
  5385 * Metis: the maximum number of clauses that can be produced from a
  5386 theorem is now given by the attribute max_clauses.  Theorems that
  5387 exceed this number are ignored, with a warning printed.
  5388 
  5389 * Sledgehammer no longer produces structured proofs by default. To
  5390 enable, declare [[sledgehammer_full = true]].  Attributes
  5391 reconstruction_modulus, reconstruction_sorts renamed
  5392 sledgehammer_modulus, sledgehammer_sorts.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5393 
  5394 * Method "induct_scheme" derives user-specified induction rules
  5395 from well-founded induction and completeness of patterns. This factors
  5396 out some operations that are done internally by the function package
  5397 and makes them available separately.  See
  5398 src/HOL/ex/Induction_Scheme.thy for examples.
  5399 
  5400 * More flexible generation of measure functions for termination
  5401 proofs: Measure functions can be declared by proving a rule of the
  5402 form "is_measure f" and giving it the [measure_function] attribute.
  5403 The "is_measure" predicate is logically meaningless (always true), and
  5404 just guides the heuristic.  To find suitable measure functions, the
  5405 termination prover sets up the goal "is_measure ?f" of the appropriate
  5406 type and generates all solutions by prolog-style backwards proof using
  5407 the declared rules.
  5408 
  5409 This setup also deals with rules like 
  5410 
  5411   "is_measure f ==> is_measure (list_size f)"
  5412 
  5413 which accommodates nested datatypes that recurse through lists.
  5414 Similar rules are predeclared for products and option types.
  5415 
  5416 * Turned the type of sets "'a set" into an abbreviation for "'a => bool"
  5417 
  5418   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  5419 
  5420   - Definitions of overloaded constants on sets have to be replaced by
  5421     definitions on => and bool.
  5422 
  5423   - Some definitions of overloaded operators on sets can now be proved
  5424     using the definitions of the operators on => and bool.  Therefore,
  5425     the following theorems have been renamed:
  5426 
  5427       subset_def   -> subset_eq
  5428       psubset_def  -> psubset_eq
  5429       set_diff_def -> set_diff_eq
  5430       Compl_def    -> Compl_eq
  5431       Sup_set_def  -> Sup_set_eq
  5432       Inf_set_def  -> Inf_set_eq
  5433       sup_set_def  -> sup_set_eq
  5434       inf_set_def  -> inf_set_eq
  5435 
  5436   - Due to the incompleteness of the HO unification algorithm, some
  5437     rules such as subst may require manual instantiation, if some of
  5438     the unknowns in the rule is a set.
  5439 
  5440   - Higher order unification and forward proofs:
  5441     The proof pattern
  5442 
  5443       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5444       then have "EX S. P S" ..
  5445 
  5446     no longer works (due to the incompleteness of the HO unification
  5447     algorithm) and must be replaced by the pattern
  5448 
  5449       have "EX S. P S"
  5450       proof
  5451         show "P S" <...>
  5452       qed
  5453 
  5454   - Calculational reasoning with subst (or similar rules):
  5455     The proof pattern
  5456 
  5457       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5458       also have "S = T" <...>
  5459       finally have "P T" .
  5460 
  5461     no longer works (for similar reasons as the previous example) and
  5462     must be replaced by something like
  5463 
  5464       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5465       moreover have "S = T" <...>
  5466       ultimately have "P T" by simp
  5467 
  5468   - Tactics or packages written in ML code:
  5469     Code performing pattern matching on types via
  5470 
  5471       Type ("set", [T]) => ...
  5472 
  5473     must be rewritten. Moreover, functions like strip_type or
  5474     binder_types no longer return the right value when applied to a
  5475     type of the form
  5476 
  5477       T1 => ... => Tn => U => bool
  5478 
  5479     rather than
  5480 
  5481       T1 => ... => Tn => U set
  5482 
  5483 * Merged theories Wellfounded_Recursion, Accessible_Part and
  5484 Wellfounded_Relations to theory Wellfounded.
  5485 
  5486 * Explicit class "eq" for executable equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5487 
  5488 * Class finite no longer treats UNIV as class parameter.  Use class
  5489 enum from theory Library/Enum instead to achieve a similar effect.
  5490 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5491 
  5492 * Theory List: rule list_induct2 now has explicitly named cases "Nil"
  5493 and "Cons".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5494 
  5495 * HOL (and FOL): renamed variables in rules imp_elim and swap.
  5496 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5497 
  5498 * Theory Product_Type: duplicated lemmas split_Pair_apply and
  5499 injective_fst_snd removed, use split_eta and prod_eqI instead.
  5500 Renamed upd_fst to apfst and upd_snd to apsnd.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5501 
  5502 * Theory Nat: removed redundant lemmas that merely duplicate lemmas of
  5503 the same name in theory Orderings:
  5504 
  5505   less_trans
  5506   less_linear
  5507   le_imp_less_or_eq
  5508   le_less_trans
  5509   less_le_trans
  5510   less_not_sym
  5511   less_asym
  5512 
  5513 Renamed less_imp_le to less_imp_le_nat, and less_irrefl to
  5514 less_irrefl_nat.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to more general types
  5515 and different variable names.
  5516 
  5517 * Library/Option_ord.thy: Canonical order on option type.
  5518 
  5519 * Library/RBT.thy: Red-black trees, an efficient implementation of
  5520 finite maps.
  5521 
  5522 * Library/Countable.thy: Type class for countable types.
  5523 
  5524 * Theory Int: The representation of numerals has changed.  The infix
  5525 operator BIT and the bit datatype with constructors B0 and B1 have
  5526 disappeared.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "Int.Bit0 x" and "Int.Bit1 y" in
  5527 place of "x BIT bit.B0" and "y BIT bit.B1", respectively.  Theorems
  5528 involving BIT, B0, or B1 have been renamed with "Bit0" or "Bit1"
  5529 accordingly.
  5530 
  5531 * Theory Nat: definition of <= and < on natural numbers no longer
  5532 depend on well-founded relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Definitions
  5533 le_def and less_def have disappeared.  Consider lemmas not_less
  5534 [symmetric, where ?'a = nat] and less_eq [symmetric] instead.
  5535 
  5536 * Theory Finite_Set: locales ACf, ACe, ACIf, ACIfSL and ACIfSLlin
  5537 (whose purpose mainly is for various fold_set functionals) have been
  5538 abandoned in favor of the existing algebraic classes
  5539 ab_semigroup_mult, comm_monoid_mult, ab_semigroup_idem_mult,
  5540 lower_semilattice (resp. upper_semilattice) and linorder.
  5541 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5542 
  5543 * Theory Transitive_Closure: induct and cases rules now declare proper
  5544 case_names ("base" and "step").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5545 
  5546 * Theorem Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct generalized to complete
  5547 lattices.  The form set-specific version is available as
  5548 Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct_set.
  5549 
  5550 * Renamed theorems "power.simps" to "power_int.simps".
  5551 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5552 
  5553 * Class semiring_div provides basic abstract properties of semirings
  5554 with division and modulo operations.  Subsumes former class dvd_mod.
  5555 
  5556 * Merged theories IntDef, Numeral and IntArith into unified theory
  5557 Int.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5558 
  5559 * Theory Library/Code_Index: type "index" now represents natural
  5560 numbers rather than integers.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5561 
  5562 * New class "uminus" with operation "uminus" (split of from class
  5563 "minus" which now only has operation "minus", binary).
  5564 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5565 
  5566 * Constants "card", "internal_split", "option_map" now with authentic
  5567 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5568 
  5569 * Definitions subset_def, psubset_def, set_diff_def, Compl_def,
  5570 le_bool_def, less_bool_def, le_fun_def, less_fun_def, inf_bool_def,
  5571 sup_bool_def, Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, inf_fun_def, sup_fun_def,
  5572 Inf_fun_def, Sup_fun_def, inf_set_def, sup_set_def, Inf_set_def,
  5573 Sup_set_def, le_def, less_def, option_map_def now with object
  5574 equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5575 
  5576 * Records. Removed K_record, and replaced it by pure lambda term
  5577 %x. c. The simplifier setup is now more robust against eta expansion.
  5578 INCOMPATIBILITY: in cases explicitly referring to K_record.
  5579 
  5580 * Library/Multiset: {#a, b, c#} abbreviates {#a#} + {#b#} + {#c#}.
  5581 
  5582 * Library/ListVector: new theory of arithmetic vector operations.
  5583 
  5584 * Library/Order_Relation: new theory of various orderings as sets of
  5585 pairs.  Defines preorders, partial orders, linear orders and
  5586 well-orders on sets and on types.
  5587 
  5588 
  5589 *** ZF ***
  5590 
  5591 * Renamed some theories to allow to loading both ZF and HOL in the
  5592 same session:
  5593 
  5594   Datatype  -> Datatype_ZF
  5595   Inductive -> Inductive_ZF
  5596   Int       -> Int_ZF
  5597   IntDiv    -> IntDiv_ZF
  5598   Nat       -> Nat_ZF
  5599   List      -> List_ZF
  5600   Main      -> Main_ZF
  5601 
  5602 INCOMPATIBILITY: ZF theories that import individual theories below
  5603 Main might need to be adapted.  Regular theory Main is still
  5604 available, as trivial extension of Main_ZF.
  5605 
  5606 
  5607 *** ML ***
  5608 
  5609 * ML within Isar: antiquotation @{const name} or @{const
  5610 name(typargs)} produces statically-checked Const term.
  5611 
  5612 * Functor NamedThmsFun: data is available to the user as dynamic fact
  5613 (of the same name).  Removed obsolete print command.
  5614 
  5615 * Removed obsolete "use_legacy_bindings" function.
  5616 
  5617 * The ``print mode'' is now a thread-local value derived from a global
  5618 template (the former print_mode reference), thus access becomes
  5619 non-critical.  The global print_mode reference is for session
  5620 management only; user-code should use print_mode_value,
  5621 print_mode_active, PrintMode.setmp etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5622 
  5623 * Functions system/system_out provide a robust way to invoke external
  5624 shell commands, with propagation of interrupts (requires Poly/ML
  5625 5.2.1).  Do not use OS.Process.system etc. from the basis library!
  5626 
  5627 
  5628 *** System ***
  5629 
  5630 * Default settings: PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS no longer impose xemacs ---
  5631 in accordance with Proof General 3.7, which prefers GNU emacs.
  5632 
  5633 * isatool tty runs Isabelle process with plain tty interaction;
  5634 optional line editor may be specified via ISABELLE_LINE_EDITOR
  5635 setting, the default settings attempt to locate "ledit" and "rlwrap".
  5636 
  5637 * isatool browser now works with Cygwin as well, using general
  5638 "javapath" function defined in Isabelle process environment.
  5639 
  5640 * YXML notation provides a simple and efficient alternative to
  5641 standard XML transfer syntax.  See src/Pure/General/yxml.ML and
  5642 isatool yxml as described in the Isabelle system manual.
  5643 
  5644 * JVM class isabelle.IsabelleProcess (located in Isabelle/lib/classes)
  5645 provides general wrapper for managing an Isabelle process in a robust
  5646 fashion, with ``cooked'' output from stdin/stderr.
  5647 
  5648 * Rudimentary Isabelle plugin for jEdit (see Isabelle/lib/jedit),
  5649 based on Isabelle/JVM process wrapper (see Isabelle/lib/classes).
  5650 
  5651 * Removed obsolete THIS_IS_ISABELLE_BUILD feature.  NB: the documented
  5652 way of changing the user's settings is via
  5653 ISABELLE_HOME_USER/etc/settings, which is a fully featured bash
  5654 script.
  5655 
  5656 * Multithreading.max_threads := 0 refers to the number of actual CPU
  5657 cores of the underlying machine, which is a good starting point for
  5658 optimal performance tuning.  The corresponding usedir option -M allows
  5659 "max" as an alias for "0".  WARNING: does not work on certain versions
  5660 of Mac OS (with Poly/ML 5.1).
  5661 
  5662 * isabelle-process: non-ML sessions are run with "nice", to reduce the
  5663 adverse effect of Isabelle flooding interactive front-ends (notably
  5664 ProofGeneral / XEmacs).
  5665 
  5666 
  5667 
  5668 New in Isabelle2007 (November 2007)
  5669 -----------------------------------
  5670 
  5671 *** General ***
  5672 
  5673 * More uniform information about legacy features, notably a
  5674 warning/error of "Legacy feature: ...", depending on the state of the
  5675 tolerate_legacy_features flag (default true). FUTURE INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5676 legacy features will disappear eventually.
  5677 
  5678 * Theory syntax: the header format ``theory A = B + C:'' has been
  5679 discontinued in favour of ``theory A imports B C begin''.  Use isatool
  5680 fixheaders to convert existing theory files.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5681 
  5682 * Theory syntax: the old non-Isar theory file format has been
  5683 discontinued altogether.  Note that ML proof scripts may still be used
  5684 with Isar theories; migration is usually quite simple with the ML
  5685 function use_legacy_bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5686 
  5687 * Theory syntax: some popular names (e.g. 'class', 'declaration',
  5688 'fun', 'help', 'if') are now keywords.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use double
  5689 quotes.
  5690 
  5691 * Theory loader: be more serious about observing the static theory
  5692 header specifications (including optional directories), but not the
  5693 accidental file locations of previously successful loads.  The strict
  5694 update policy of former update_thy is now already performed by
  5695 use_thy, so the former has been removed; use_thys updates several
  5696 theories simultaneously, just as 'imports' within a theory header
  5697 specification, but without merging the results.  Potential
  5698 INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to refine theory headers and commands
  5699 ROOT.ML which depend on load order.
  5700 
  5701 * Theory loader: optional support for content-based file
  5702 identification, instead of the traditional scheme of full physical
  5703 path plus date stamp; configured by the ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT setting
  5704 (cf. the system manual).  The new scheme allows to work with
  5705 non-finished theories in persistent session images, such that source
  5706 files may be moved later on without requiring reloads.
  5707 
  5708 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  5709 file (with the same base name as the theory) are considered a legacy
  5710 feature, which will disappear eventually. Even now, the theory loader
  5711 no longer maintains dependencies on such files.
  5712 
  5713 * Syntax: the scope for resolving ambiguities via type-inference is
  5714 now limited to individual terms, instead of whole simultaneous
  5715 specifications as before. This greatly reduces the complexity of the
  5716 syntax module and improves flexibility by separating parsing and
  5717 type-checking. INCOMPATIBILITY: additional type-constraints (explicit
  5718 'fixes' etc.) are required in rare situations.
  5719 
  5720 * Syntax: constants introduced by new-style packages ('definition',
  5721 'abbreviation' etc.) are passed through the syntax module in
  5722 ``authentic mode''. This means that associated mixfix annotations
  5723 really stick to such constants, independently of potential name space
  5724 ambiguities introduced later on. INCOMPATIBILITY: constants in parse
  5725 trees are represented slightly differently, may need to adapt syntax
  5726 translations accordingly. Use CONST marker in 'translations' and
  5727 @{const_syntax} antiquotation in 'parse_translation' etc.
  5728 
  5729 * Legacy goal package: reduced interface to the bare minimum required
  5730 to keep existing proof scripts running.  Most other user-level
  5731 functions are now part of the OldGoals structure, which is *not* open
  5732 by default (consider isatool expandshort before open OldGoals).
  5733 Removed top_sg, prin, printyp, pprint_term/typ altogether, because
  5734 these tend to cause confusion about the actual goal (!) context being
  5735 used here, which is not necessarily the same as the_context().
  5736 
  5737 * Command 'find_theorems': supports "*" wild-card in "name:"
  5738 criterion; "with_dups" option.  Certain ProofGeneral versions might
  5739 support a specific search form (see ProofGeneral/CHANGES).
  5740 
  5741 * The ``prems limit'' option (cf. ProofContext.prems_limit) is now -1
  5742 by default, which means that "prems" (and also "fixed variables") are
  5743 suppressed from proof state output.  Note that the ProofGeneral
  5744 settings mechanism allows to change and save options persistently, but
  5745 older versions of Isabelle will fail to start up if a negative prems
  5746 limit is imposed.
  5747 
  5748 * Local theory targets may be specified by non-nested blocks of
  5749 ``context/locale/class ... begin'' followed by ``end''.  The body may
  5750 contain definitions, theorems etc., including any derived mechanism
  5751 that has been implemented on top of these primitives.  This concept
  5752 generalizes the existing ``theorem (in ...)'' towards more versatility
  5753 and scalability.
  5754 
  5755 * Proof General interface: proper undo of final 'end' command;
  5756 discontinued Isabelle/classic mode (ML proof scripts).
  5757 
  5758 
  5759 *** Document preparation ***
  5760 
  5761 * Added antiquotation @{theory name} which prints the given name,
  5762 after checking that it refers to a valid ancestor theory in the
  5763 current context.
  5764 
  5765 * Added antiquotations @{ML_type text} and @{ML_struct text} which
  5766 check the given source text as ML type/structure, printing verbatim.
  5767 
  5768 * Added antiquotation @{abbrev "c args"} which prints the abbreviation
  5769 "c args == rhs" given in the current context.  (Any number of
  5770 arguments may be given on the LHS.)
  5771 
  5772 
  5773 *** Pure ***
  5774 
  5775 * The 'class' package offers a combination of axclass and locale to
  5776 achieve Haskell-like type classes in Isabelle.  Definitions and
  5777 theorems within a class context produce both relative results (with
  5778 implicit parameters according to the locale context), and polymorphic
  5779 constants with qualified polymorphism (according to the class
  5780 context).  Within the body context of a 'class' target, a separate
  5781 syntax layer ("user space type system") takes care of converting
  5782 between global polymorphic consts and internal locale representation.
  5783 See src/HOL/ex/Classpackage.thy for examples (as well as main HOL).
  5784 "isatool doc classes" provides a tutorial.
  5785 
  5786 * Generic code generator framework allows to generate executable
  5787 code for ML and Haskell (including Isabelle classes).  A short usage
  5788 sketch:
  5789 
  5790     internal compilation:
  5791         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML
  5792     writing SML code to a file:
  5793         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML <filename>
  5794     writing OCaml code to a file:
  5795         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in OCaml <filename>
  5796     writing Haskell code to a bunch of files:
  5797         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in Haskell <filename>
  5798 
  5799     evaluating closed propositions to True/False using code generation:
  5800         method ``eval''
  5801 
  5802 Reasonable default setup of framework in HOL.
  5803 
  5804 Theorem attributs for selecting and transforming function equations theorems:
  5805 
  5806     [code fun]:        select a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  5807     [code fun del]:    deselect a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  5808     [code inline]:     select an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  5809     [code inline del]: deselect an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  5810 
  5811 User-defined serializations (target in {SML, OCaml, Haskell}):
  5812 
  5813     code_const <and-list of constants (term syntax)>
  5814       {(target) <and-list of const target syntax>}+
  5815 
  5816     code_type <and-list of type constructors>
  5817       {(target) <and-list of type target syntax>}+
  5818 
  5819     code_instance <and-list of instances>
  5820       {(target)}+
  5821         where instance ::= <type constructor> :: <class>
  5822 
  5823     code_class <and_list of classes>
  5824       {(target) <and-list of class target syntax>}+
  5825         where class target syntax ::= <class name> {where {<classop> == <target syntax>}+}?
  5826 
  5827 code_instance and code_class only are effective to target Haskell.
  5828 
  5829 For example usage see src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator.thy and
  5830 src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator_Pretty.thy.  A separate tutorial on code
  5831 generation from Isabelle/HOL theories is available via "isatool doc
  5832 codegen".
  5833 
  5834 * Code generator: consts in 'consts_code' Isar commands are now
  5835 referred to by usual term syntax (including optional type
  5836 annotations).
  5837 
  5838 * Command 'no_translations' removes translation rules from theory
  5839 syntax.
  5840 
  5841 * Overloaded definitions are now actually checked for acyclic
  5842 dependencies.  The overloading scheme is slightly more general than
  5843 that of Haskell98, although Isabelle does not demand an exact
  5844 correspondence to type class and instance declarations.
  5845 INCOMPATIBILITY, use ``defs (unchecked overloaded)'' to admit more
  5846 exotic versions of overloading -- at the discretion of the user!
  5847 
  5848 Polymorphic constants are represented via type arguments, i.e. the
  5849 instantiation that matches an instance against the most general
  5850 declaration given in the signature.  For example, with the declaration
  5851 c :: 'a => 'a => 'a, an instance c :: nat => nat => nat is represented
  5852 as c(nat).  Overloading is essentially simultaneous structural
  5853 recursion over such type arguments.  Incomplete specification patterns
  5854 impose global constraints on all occurrences, e.g. c('a * 'a) on the
  5855 LHS means that more general c('a * 'b) will be disallowed on any RHS.
  5856 Command 'print_theory' outputs the normalized system of recursive
  5857 equations, see section "definitions".
  5858 
  5859 * Configuration options are maintained within the theory or proof
  5860 context (with name and type bool/int/string), providing a very simple
  5861 interface to a poor-man's version of general context data.  Tools may
  5862 declare options in ML (e.g. using Attrib.config_int) and then refer to
  5863 these values using Config.get etc.  Users may change options via an
  5864 associated attribute of the same name.  This form of context
  5865 declaration works particularly well with commands 'declare' or
  5866 'using', for example ``declare [[foo = 42]]''.  Thus it has become
  5867 very easy to avoid global references, which would not observe Isar
  5868 toplevel undo/redo and fail to work with multithreading.
  5869 
  5870 Various global ML references of Pure and HOL have been turned into
  5871 configuration options:
  5872 
  5873   Unify.search_bound		unify_search_bound
  5874   Unify.trace_bound		unify_trace_bound
  5875   Unify.trace_simp		unify_trace_simp
  5876   Unify.trace_types		unify_trace_types
  5877   Simplifier.simp_depth_limit	simp_depth_limit
  5878   Blast.depth_limit		blast_depth_limit
  5879   DatatypeProp.dtK		datatype_distinctness_limit
  5880   fast_arith_neq_limit  	fast_arith_neq_limit
  5881   fast_arith_split_limit	fast_arith_split_limit
  5882 
  5883 * Named collections of theorems may be easily installed as context
  5884 data using the functor NamedThmsFun (see also
  5885 src/Pure/Tools/named_thms.ML).  The user may add or delete facts via
  5886 attributes; there is also a toplevel print command.  This facility is
  5887 just a common case of general context data, which is the preferred way
  5888 for anything more complex than just a list of facts in canonical
  5889 order.
  5890 
  5891 * Isar: command 'declaration' augments a local theory by generic
  5892 declaration functions written in ML.  This enables arbitrary content
  5893 being added to the context, depending on a morphism that tells the
  5894 difference of the original declaration context wrt. the application
  5895 context encountered later on.
  5896 
  5897 * Isar: proper interfaces for simplification procedures.  Command
  5898 'simproc_setup' declares named simprocs (with match patterns, and body
  5899 text in ML).  Attribute "simproc" adds/deletes simprocs in the current
  5900 context.  ML antiquotation @{simproc name} retrieves named simprocs.
  5901 
  5902 * Isar: an extra pair of brackets around attribute declarations
  5903 abbreviates a theorem reference involving an internal dummy fact,
  5904 which will be ignored later --- only the effect of the attribute on
  5905 the background context will persist.  This form of in-place
  5906 declarations is particularly useful with commands like 'declare' and
  5907 'using', for example ``have A using [[simproc a]] by simp''.
  5908 
  5909 * Isar: method "assumption" (and implicit closing of subproofs) now
  5910 takes simple non-atomic goal assumptions into account: after applying
  5911 an assumption as a rule the resulting subgoals are solved by atomic
  5912 assumption steps.  This is particularly useful to finish 'obtain'
  5913 goals, such as "!!x. (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> P x ==> thesis",
  5914 without referring to the original premise "!!x. P x ==> thesis" in the
  5915 Isar proof context.  POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY: method "assumption" is
  5916 more permissive.
  5917 
  5918 * Isar: implicit use of prems from the Isar proof context is
  5919 considered a legacy feature.  Common applications like ``have A .''
  5920 may be replaced by ``have A by fact'' or ``note `A`''.  In general,
  5921 referencing facts explicitly here improves readability and
  5922 maintainability of proof texts.
  5923 
  5924 * Isar: improper proof element 'guess' is like 'obtain', but derives
  5925 the obtained context from the course of reasoning!  For example:
  5926 
  5927   assume "EX x y. A x & B y"   -- "any previous fact"
  5928   then guess x and y by clarify
  5929 
  5930 This technique is potentially adventurous, depending on the facts and
  5931 proof tools being involved here.
  5932 
  5933 * Isar: known facts from the proof context may be specified as literal
  5934 propositions, using ASCII back-quote syntax.  This works wherever
  5935 named facts used to be allowed so far, in proof commands, proof
  5936 methods, attributes etc.  Literal facts are retrieved from the context
  5937 according to unification of type and term parameters.  For example,
  5938 provided that "A" and "A ==> B" and "!!x. P x ==> Q x" are known
  5939 theorems in the current context, then these are valid literal facts:
  5940 `A` and `A ==> B` and `!!x. P x ==> Q x" as well as `P a ==> Q a` etc.
  5941 
  5942 There is also a proof method "fact" which does the same composition
  5943 for explicit goal states, e.g. the following proof texts coincide with
  5944 certain special cases of literal facts:
  5945 
  5946   have "A" by fact                 ==  note `A`
  5947   have "A ==> B" by fact           ==  note `A ==> B`
  5948   have "!!x. P x ==> Q x" by fact  ==  note `!!x. P x ==> Q x`
  5949   have "P a ==> Q a" by fact       ==  note `P a ==> Q a`
  5950 
  5951 * Isar: ":" (colon) is no longer a symbolic identifier character in
  5952 outer syntax.  Thus symbolic identifiers may be used without
  5953 additional white space in declarations like this: ``assume *: A''.
  5954 
  5955 * Isar: 'print_facts' prints all local facts of the current context,
  5956 both named and unnamed ones.
  5957 
  5958 * Isar: 'def' now admits simultaneous definitions, e.g.:
  5959 
  5960   def x == "t" and y == "u"
  5961 
  5962 * Isar: added command 'unfolding', which is structurally similar to
  5963 'using', but affects both the goal state and facts by unfolding given
  5964 rewrite rules.  Thus many occurrences of the 'unfold' method or
  5965 'unfolded' attribute may be replaced by first-class proof text.
  5966 
  5967 * Isar: methods 'unfold' / 'fold', attributes 'unfolded' / 'folded',
  5968 and command 'unfolding' now all support object-level equalities
  5969 (potentially conditional).  The underlying notion of rewrite rule is
  5970 analogous to the 'rule_format' attribute, but *not* that of the
  5971 Simplifier (which is usually more generous).
  5972 
  5973 * Isar: the new attribute [rotated n] (default n = 1) rotates the
  5974 premises of a theorem by n. Useful in conjunction with drule.
  5975 
  5976 * Isar: the goal restriction operator [N] (default N = 1) evaluates a
  5977 method expression within a sandbox consisting of the first N
  5978 sub-goals, which need to exist.  For example, ``simp_all [3]''
  5979 simplifies the first three sub-goals, while (rule foo, simp_all)[]
  5980 simplifies all new goals that emerge from applying rule foo to the
  5981 originally first one.
  5982 
  5983 * Isar: schematic goals are no longer restricted to higher-order
  5984 patterns; e.g. ``lemma "?P(?x)" by (rule TrueI)'' now works as
  5985 expected.
  5986 
  5987 * Isar: the conclusion of a long theorem statement is now either
  5988 'shows' (a simultaneous conjunction, as before), or 'obtains'
  5989 (essentially a disjunction of cases with local parameters and
  5990 assumptions).  The latter allows to express general elimination rules
  5991 adequately; in this notation common elimination rules look like this:
  5992 
  5993   lemma exE:    -- "EX x. P x ==> (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5994     assumes "EX x. P x"
  5995     obtains x where "P x"
  5996 
  5997   lemma conjE:  -- "A & B ==> (A ==> B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5998     assumes "A & B"
  5999     obtains A and B
  6000 
  6001   lemma disjE:  -- "A | B ==> (A ==> thesis) ==> (B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6002     assumes "A | B"
  6003     obtains
  6004       A
  6005     | B
  6006 
  6007 The subsequent classical rules even refer to the formal "thesis"
  6008 explicitly:
  6009 
  6010   lemma classical:     -- "(~ thesis ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6011     obtains "~ thesis"
  6012 
  6013   lemma Peirce's_Law:  -- "((thesis ==> something) ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6014     obtains "thesis ==> something"
  6015 
  6016 The actual proof of an 'obtains' statement is analogous to that of the
  6017 Isar proof element 'obtain', only that there may be several cases.
  6018 Optional case names may be specified in parentheses; these will be
  6019 available both in the present proof and as annotations in the
  6020 resulting rule, for later use with the 'cases' method (cf. attribute
  6021 case_names).
  6022 
  6023 * Isar: the assumptions of a long theorem statement are available as
  6024 "assms" fact in the proof context.  This is more appropriate than the
  6025 (historical) "prems", which refers to all assumptions of the current
  6026 context, including those from the target locale, proof body etc.
  6027 
  6028 * Isar: 'print_statement' prints theorems from the current theory or
  6029 proof context in long statement form, according to the syntax of a
  6030 top-level lemma.
  6031 
  6032 * Isar: 'obtain' takes an optional case name for the local context
  6033 introduction rule (default "that").
  6034 
  6035 * Isar: removed obsolete 'concl is' patterns.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  6036 explicit (is "_ ==> ?foo") in the rare cases where this still happens
  6037 to occur.
  6038 
  6039 * Pure: syntax "CONST name" produces a fully internalized constant
  6040 according to the current context.  This is particularly useful for
  6041 syntax translations that should refer to internal constant
  6042 representations independently of name spaces.
  6043 
  6044 * Pure: syntax constant for foo (binder "FOO ") is called "foo_binder"
  6045 instead of "FOO ". This allows multiple binder declarations to coexist
  6046 in the same context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6047 
  6048 * Isar/locales: 'notation' provides a robust interface to the 'syntax'
  6049 primitive that also works in a locale context (both for constants and
  6050 fixed variables). Type declaration and internal syntactic representation
  6051 of given constants retrieved from the context. Likewise, the
  6052 'no_notation' command allows to remove given syntax annotations from the
  6053 current context.
  6054 
  6055 * Isar/locales: new derived specification elements 'axiomatization',
  6056 'definition', 'abbreviation', which support type-inference, admit
  6057 object-level specifications (equality, equivalence).  See also the
  6058 isar-ref manual.  Examples:
  6059 
  6060   axiomatization
  6061     eq  (infix "===" 50) where
  6062     eq_refl: "x === x" and eq_subst: "x === y ==> P x ==> P y"
  6063 
  6064   definition "f x y = x + y + 1"
  6065   definition g where "g x = f x x"
  6066 
  6067   abbreviation
  6068     neq  (infix "=!=" 50) where
  6069     "x =!= y == ~ (x === y)"
  6070 
  6071 These specifications may be also used in a locale context.  Then the
  6072 constants being introduced depend on certain fixed parameters, and the
  6073 constant name is qualified by the locale base name.  An internal
  6074 abbreviation takes care for convenient input and output, making the
  6075 parameters implicit and using the original short name.  See also
  6076 src/HOL/ex/Abstract_NAT.thy for an example of deriving polymorphic
  6077 entities from a monomorphic theory.
  6078 
  6079 Presently, abbreviations are only available 'in' a target locale, but
  6080 not inherited by general import expressions.  Also note that
  6081 'abbreviation' may be used as a type-safe replacement for 'syntax' +
  6082 'translations' in common applications.  The "no_abbrevs" print mode
  6083 prevents folding of abbreviations in term output.
  6084 
  6085 Concrete syntax is attached to specified constants in internal form,
  6086 independently of name spaces.  The parse tree representation is
  6087 slightly different -- use 'notation' instead of raw 'syntax', and
  6088 'translations' with explicit "CONST" markup to accommodate this.
  6089 
  6090 * Pure/Isar: unified syntax for new-style specification mechanisms
  6091 (e.g.  'definition', 'abbreviation', or 'inductive' in HOL) admits
  6092 full type inference and dummy patterns ("_").  For example:
  6093 
  6094   definition "K x _ = x"
  6095 
  6096   inductive conj for A B
  6097   where "A ==> B ==> conj A B"
  6098 
  6099 * Pure: command 'print_abbrevs' prints all constant abbreviations of
  6100 the current context.  Print mode "no_abbrevs" prevents inversion of
  6101 abbreviations on output.
  6102 
  6103 * Isar/locales: improved parameter handling: use of locales "var" and
  6104 "struct" no longer necessary; - parameter renamings are no longer
  6105 required to be injective.  For example, this allows to define
  6106 endomorphisms as locale endom = homom mult mult h.
  6107 
  6108 * Isar/locales: changed the way locales with predicates are defined.
  6109 Instead of accumulating the specification, the imported expression is
  6110 now an interpretation.  INCOMPATIBILITY: different normal form of
  6111 locale expressions.  In particular, in interpretations of locales with
  6112 predicates, goals repesenting already interpreted fragments are not
  6113 removed automatically.  Use methods `intro_locales' and
  6114 `unfold_locales'; see below.
  6115 
  6116 * Isar/locales: new methods `intro_locales' and `unfold_locales'
  6117 provide backward reasoning on locales predicates.  The methods are
  6118 aware of interpretations and discharge corresponding goals.
  6119 `intro_locales' is less aggressive then `unfold_locales' and does not
  6120 unfold predicates to assumptions.
  6121 
  6122 * Isar/locales: the order in which locale fragments are accumulated
  6123 has changed.  This enables to override declarations from fragments due
  6124 to interpretations -- for example, unwanted simp rules.
  6125 
  6126 * Isar/locales: interpretation in theories and proof contexts has been
  6127 extended.  One may now specify (and prove) equations, which are
  6128 unfolded in interpreted theorems.  This is useful for replacing
  6129 defined concepts (constants depending on locale parameters) by
  6130 concepts already existing in the target context.  Example:
  6131 
  6132   interpretation partial_order ["op <= :: [int, int] => bool"]
  6133     where "partial_order.less (op <=) (x::int) y = (x < y)"
  6134 
  6135 Typically, the constant `partial_order.less' is created by a
  6136 definition specification element in the context of locale
  6137 partial_order.
  6138 
  6139 * Method "induct": improved internal context management to support
  6140 local fixes and defines on-the-fly. Thus explicit meta-level
  6141 connectives !!  and ==> are rarely required anymore in inductive goals
  6142 (using object-logic connectives for this purpose has been long
  6143 obsolete anyway). Common proof patterns are explained in
  6144 src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, see also
  6145 src/HOL/Isar_examples/Puzzle.thy and src/HOL/Lambda for realistic
  6146 examples.
  6147 
  6148 * Method "induct": improved handling of simultaneous goals. Instead of
  6149 introducing object-level conjunction, the statement is now split into
  6150 several conclusions, while the corresponding symbolic cases are nested
  6151 accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY, proofs need to be structured explicitly,
  6152 see src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, for example.
  6153 
  6154 * Method "induct": mutual induction rules are now specified as a list
  6155 of rule sharing the same induction cases. HOL packages usually provide
  6156 foo_bar.inducts for mutually defined items foo and bar (e.g. inductive
  6157 predicates/sets or datatypes). INCOMPATIBILITY, users need to specify
  6158 mutual induction rules differently, i.e. like this:
  6159 
  6160   (induct rule: foo_bar.inducts)
  6161   (induct set: foo bar)
  6162   (induct pred: foo bar)
  6163   (induct type: foo bar)
  6164 
  6165 The ML function ProjectRule.projections turns old-style rules into the
  6166 new format.
  6167 
  6168 * Method "coinduct": dual of induction, see
  6169 src/HOL/Library/Coinductive_List.thy for various examples.
  6170 
  6171 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": the ``(open)'' option is
  6172 considered a legacy feature.
  6173 
  6174 * Attribute "symmetric" produces result with standardized schematic
  6175 variables (index 0).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6176 
  6177 * Simplifier: by default the simplifier trace only shows top level
  6178 rewrites now. That is, trace_simp_depth_limit is set to 1 by
  6179 default. Thus there is less danger of being flooded by the trace. The
  6180 trace indicates where parts have been suppressed.
  6181   
  6182 * Provers/classical: removed obsolete classical version of elim_format
  6183 attribute; classical elim/dest rules are now treated uniformly when
  6184 manipulating the claset.
  6185 
  6186 * Provers/classical: stricter checks to ensure that supplied intro,
  6187 dest and elim rules are well-formed; dest and elim rules must have at
  6188 least one premise.
  6189 
  6190 * Provers/classical: attributes dest/elim/intro take an optional
  6191 weight argument for the rule (just as the Pure versions).  Weights are
  6192 ignored by automated tools, but determine the search order of single
  6193 rule steps.
  6194 
  6195 * Syntax: input syntax now supports dummy variable binding "%_. b",
  6196 where the body does not mention the bound variable.  Note that dummy
  6197 patterns implicitly depend on their context of bounds, which makes
  6198 "{_. _}" match any set comprehension as expected.  Potential
  6199 INCOMPATIBILITY -- parse translations need to cope with syntactic
  6200 constant "_idtdummy" in the binding position.
  6201 
  6202 * Syntax: removed obsolete syntactic constant "_K" and its associated
  6203 parse translation.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- use dummy abstraction instead,
  6204 for example "A -> B" => "Pi A (%_. B)".
  6205 
  6206 * Pure: 'class_deps' command visualizes the subclass relation, using
  6207 the graph browser tool.
  6208 
  6209 * Pure: 'print_theory' now suppresses certain internal declarations by
  6210 default; use '!' option for full details.
  6211 
  6212 
  6213 *** HOL ***
  6214 
  6215 * Method "metis" proves goals by applying the Metis general-purpose
  6216 resolution prover (see also http://gilith.com/software/metis/).
  6217 Examples are in the directory MetisExamples.  WARNING: the
  6218 Isabelle/HOL-Metis integration does not yet work properly with
  6219 multi-threading.
  6220   
  6221 * Command 'sledgehammer' invokes external automatic theorem provers as
  6222 background processes.  It generates calls to the "metis" method if
  6223 successful. These can be pasted into the proof.  Users do not have to
  6224 wait for the automatic provers to return.  WARNING: does not really
  6225 work with multi-threading.
  6226 
  6227 * New "auto_quickcheck" feature tests outermost goal statements for
  6228 potential counter-examples.  Controlled by ML references
  6229 auto_quickcheck (default true) and auto_quickcheck_time_limit (default
  6230 5000 milliseconds).  Fails silently if statements is outside of
  6231 executable fragment, or any other codgenerator problem occurs.
  6232 
  6233 * New constant "undefined" with axiom "undefined x = undefined".
  6234 
  6235 * Added class "HOL.eq", allowing for code generation with polymorphic
  6236 equality.
  6237 
  6238 * Some renaming of class constants due to canonical name prefixing in
  6239 the new 'class' package:
  6240 
  6241     HOL.abs ~> HOL.abs_class.abs
  6242     HOL.divide ~> HOL.divide_class.divide
  6243     0 ~> HOL.zero_class.zero
  6244     1 ~> HOL.one_class.one

  6260     Divides.op dvd ~> Divides.div_class.dvd
  6261 
  6262 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Adaptions may be required in the following cases:
  6263 
  6264 a) User-defined constants using any of the names "plus", "minus",
  6265 "times", "less" or "less_eq". The standard syntax translations for
  6266 "+", "-" and "*" may go wrong.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific
  6267 names.
  6268 
  6269 b) Variables named "plus", "minus", "times", "less", "less_eq"
  6270 INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific names.
  6271 
  6272 c) Permutative equations (e.g. "a + b = b + a")
  6273 Since the change of names also changes the order of terms, permutative
  6274 rewrite rules may get applied in a different order. Experience shows
  6275 that this is rarely the case (only two adaptions in the whole Isabelle
  6276 distribution).  INCOMPATIBILITY: rewrite proofs
  6277 
  6278 d) ML code directly refering to constant names
  6279 This in general only affects hand-written proof tactics, simprocs and
  6280 so on.  INCOMPATIBILITY: grep your sourcecode and replace names.
  6281 Consider using @{const_name} antiquotation.
  6282 
  6283 * New class "default" with associated constant "default".
  6284 
  6285 * Function "sgn" is now overloaded and available on int, real, complex
  6286 (and other numeric types), using class "sgn".  Two possible defs of
  6287 sgn are given as equational assumptions in the classes sgn_if and
  6288 sgn_div_norm; ordered_idom now also inherits from sgn_if.
  6289 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6290 
  6291 * Locale "partial_order" now unified with class "order" (cf. theory
  6292 Orderings), added parameter "less".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6293 
  6294 * Renamings in classes "order" and "linorder": facts "refl", "trans" and
  6295 "cases" to "order_refl", "order_trans" and "linorder_cases", to avoid
  6296 clashes with HOL "refl" and "trans".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6297 
  6298 * Classes "order" and "linorder": potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to
  6299 changed order of proof goals in instance proofs.

  6301 * The transitivity reasoner for partial and linear orders is set up
  6302 for classes "order" and "linorder".  Instances of the reasoner are available
  6303 in all contexts importing or interpreting the corresponding locales.
  6304 Method "order" invokes the reasoner separately; the reasoner
  6305 is also integrated with the Simplifier as a solver.  Diagnostic
  6306 command 'print_orders' shows the available instances of the reasoner
  6307 in the current context.
  6308 
  6309 * Localized monotonicity predicate in theory "Orderings"; integrated
  6310 lemmas max_of_mono and min_of_mono with this predicate.
  6311 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6312 
  6313 * Formulation of theorem "dense" changed slightly due to integration
  6314 with new class dense_linear_order.
  6315 
  6316 * Uniform lattice theory development in HOL.
  6317 
  6318     constants "meet" and "join" now named "inf" and "sup"
  6319     constant "Meet" now named "Inf"
  6320 
  6321     classes "meet_semilorder" and "join_semilorder" now named
  6322       "lower_semilattice" and "upper_semilattice"
  6323     class "lorder" now named "lattice"
  6324     class "comp_lat" now named "complete_lattice"
  6325 
  6326     Instantiation of lattice classes allows explicit definitions
  6327     for "inf" and "sup" operations (or "Inf" and "Sup" for complete lattices).

  6431 
  6432 * Added syntactic class "size"; overloaded constant "size" now has
  6433 type "'a::size ==> bool"
  6434 
  6435 * Internal reorganisation of `size' of datatypes: size theorems
  6436 "foo.size" are no longer subsumed by "foo.simps" (but are still
  6437 simplification rules by default!); theorems "prod.size" now named
  6438 "*.size".
  6439 
  6440 * Class "div" now inherits from class "times" rather than "type".
  6441 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6442 
  6443 * HOL/Finite_Set: "name-space" locales Lattice, Distrib_lattice,
  6444 Linorder etc.  have disappeared; operations defined in terms of
  6445 fold_set now are named Inf_fin, Sup_fin.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6446 
  6447 * HOL/Nat: neq0_conv no longer declared as iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6448 
  6449 * HOL-Word: New extensive library and type for generic, fixed size
  6450 machine words, with arithmetic, bit-wise, shifting and rotating
  6451 operations, reflection into int, nat, and bool lists, automation for
  6452 linear arithmetic (by automatic reflection into nat or int), including
  6453 lemmas on overflow and monotonicity.  Instantiated to all appropriate
  6454 arithmetic type classes, supporting automatic simplification of
  6455 numerals on all operations.
  6456 
  6457 * Library/Boolean_Algebra: locales for abstract boolean algebras.
  6458 
  6459 * Library/Numeral_Type: numbers as types, e.g. TYPE(32).
  6460 
  6461 * Code generator library theories:
  6462   - Code_Integer represents HOL integers by big integer literals in target
  6463     languages.
  6464   - Code_Char represents HOL characters by character literals in target
  6465     languages.
  6466   - Code_Char_chr like Code_Char, but also offers treatment of character
  6467     codes; includes Code_Integer.
  6468   - Executable_Set allows to generate code for finite sets using lists.
  6469   - Executable_Rat implements rational numbers as triples (sign, enumerator,
  6470     denominator).
  6471   - Executable_Real implements a subset of real numbers, namly those
  6472     representable by rational numbers.
  6473   - Efficient_Nat implements natural numbers by integers, which in general will
  6474     result in higher efficency; pattern matching with 0/Suc is eliminated;
  6475     includes Code_Integer.
  6476   - Code_Index provides an additional datatype index which is mapped to
  6477     target-language built-in integers.
  6478   - Code_Message provides an additional datatype message_string which is isomorphic to
  6479     strings; messages are mapped to target-language strings.
  6480 
  6481 * New package for inductive predicates
  6482 
  6483   An n-ary predicate p with m parameters z_1, ..., z_m can now be defined via
  6484 
  6485     inductive
  6486       p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6487       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6488     where
  6489       rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  6490     | ...
  6491 
  6492   with full support for type-inference, rather than
  6493 
  6494     consts s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6495 
  6496     abbreviation p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6497     where "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6498 
  6499     inductive "s z_1 ... z_m"
  6500     intros
  6501       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6502       ...
  6503 
  6504   For backward compatibility, there is a wrapper allowing inductive
  6505   sets to be defined with the new package via
  6506 
  6507     inductive_set
  6508       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6509       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6510     where
  6511       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6512     | ...
  6513 
  6514   or
  6515 
  6516     inductive_set
  6517       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6518       and p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6519       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6520     where
  6521       "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6522     | rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  6523     | ...
  6524 
  6525   if the additional syntax "p ..." is required.
  6526 
  6527   Numerous examples can be found in the subdirectories src/HOL/Auth,
  6528   src/HOL/Bali, src/HOL/Induct, and src/HOL/MicroJava.
  6529 
  6530   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  6531 
  6532   - Since declaration and definition of inductive sets or predicates
  6533     is no longer separated, abbreviations involving the newly
  6534     introduced sets or predicates must be specified together with the
  6535     introduction rules after the 'where' keyword (see above), rather
  6536     than before the actual inductive definition.
  6537 
  6538   - The variables in induction and elimination rules are now
  6539     quantified in the order of their occurrence in the introduction
  6540     rules, rather than in alphabetical order. Since this may break
  6541     some proofs, these proofs either have to be repaired, e.g. by
  6542     reordering the variables a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i} in Isar 'case'
  6543     statements of the form
  6544 
  6545       case (rule_i a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i})
  6546 
  6547     or the old order of quantification has to be restored by explicitly adding
  6548     meta-level quantifiers in the introduction rules, i.e.
  6549 
  6550       | rule_i: "!!a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i}. ... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_i_1 ... t_i_n"
  6551 
  6552   - The format of the elimination rules is now
  6553 
  6554       p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n ==>
  6555         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  6556         ==> ... ==> P
  6557 
  6558     for predicates and
  6559 
  6560       (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  6561         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  6562         ==> ... ==> P
  6563 
  6564     for sets rather than
  6565 
  6566       x : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  6567         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x = (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) ==> ... ==> P)
  6568         ==> ... ==> P
  6569 
  6570     This may require terms in goals to be expanded to n-tuples
  6571     (e.g. using case_tac or simplification with the split_paired_all
  6572     rule) before the above elimination rule is applicable.
  6573 
  6574   - The elimination or case analysis rules for (mutually) inductive
  6575     sets or predicates are now called "p_1.cases" ... "p_k.cases". The
  6576     list of rules "p_1_..._p_k.elims" is no longer available.
  6577 
  6578 * New package "function"/"fun" for general recursive functions,
  6579 supporting mutual and nested recursion, definitions in local contexts,
  6580 more general pattern matching and partiality. See HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy
  6581 for small examples, and the separate tutorial on the function
  6582 package. The old recdef "package" is still available as before, but
  6583 users are encouraged to use the new package.
  6584 
  6585 * Method "lexicographic_order" automatically synthesizes termination
  6586 relations as lexicographic combinations of size measures. 
  6587 
  6588 * Case-expressions allow arbitrary constructor-patterns (including
  6589 "_") and take their order into account, like in functional
  6590 programming.  Internally, this is translated into nested
  6591 case-expressions; missing cases are added and mapped to the predefined
  6592 constant "undefined". In complicated cases printing may no longer show
  6593 the original input but the internal form. Lambda-abstractions allow
  6594 the same form of pattern matching: "% pat1 => e1 | ..." is an
  6595 abbreviation for "%x. case x of pat1 => e1 | ..." where x is a new
  6596 variable.
  6597 
  6598 * IntDef: The constant "int :: nat => int" has been removed; now "int"
  6599 is an abbreviation for "of_nat :: nat => int". The simplification
  6600 rules for "of_nat" have been changed to work like "int" did
  6601 previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6602   - "of_nat (Suc m)" simplifies to "1 + of_nat m" instead of "of_nat m + 1"
  6603   - of_nat_diff and of_nat_mult are no longer default simp rules
  6604 
  6605 * Method "algebra" solves polynomial equations over (semi)rings using
  6606 Groebner bases. The (semi)ring structure is defined by locales and the
  6607 tool setup depends on that generic context. Installing the method for
  6608 a specific type involves instantiating the locale and possibly adding
  6609 declarations for computation on the coefficients.  The method is
  6610 already instantiated for natural numbers and for the axiomatic class
  6611 of idoms with numerals.  See also the paper by Chaieb and Wenzel at
  6612 CALCULEMUS 2007 for the general principles underlying this
  6613 architecture of context-aware proof-tools.
  6614 
  6615 * Method "ferrack" implements quantifier elimination over
  6616 special-purpose dense linear orders using locales (analogous to
  6617 "algebra"). The method is already installed for class
  6618 {ordered_field,recpower,number_ring} which subsumes real, hyperreal,
  6619 rat, etc.
  6620 
  6621 * Former constant "List.op @" now named "List.append".  Use ML
  6622 antiquotations @{const_name List.append} or @{term " ... @ ... "} to
  6623 circumvent possible incompatibilities when working on ML level.
  6624 
  6625 * primrec: missing cases mapped to "undefined" instead of "arbitrary".
  6626 
  6627 * New function listsum :: 'a list => 'a for arbitrary monoids.
  6628 Special syntax: "SUM x <- xs. f x" (and latex variants)
  6629 
  6630 * New syntax for Haskell-like list comprehension (input only), eg.
  6631 [(x,y). x <- xs, y <- ys, x ~= y], see also src/HOL/List.thy.
  6632 
  6633 * The special syntax for function "filter" has changed from [x :
  6634 xs. P] to [x <- xs. P] to avoid an ambiguity caused by list
  6635 comprehension syntax, and for uniformity.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6636 
  6637 * [a..b] is now defined for arbitrary linear orders.  It used to be
  6638 defined on nat only, as an abbreviation for [a..<Suc b]
  6639 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6640 
  6641 * Renamed lemma "set_take_whileD"  to "set_takeWhileD".
  6642 
  6643 * New functions "sorted" and "sort" in src/HOL/List.thy.
  6644 
  6645 * New lemma collection field_simps (an extension of ring_simps) for
  6646 manipulating (in)equations involving division. Multiplies with all
  6647 denominators that can be proved to be non-zero (in equations) or
  6648 positive/negative (in inequations).
  6649 
  6650 * Lemma collections ring_eq_simps, group_eq_simps and ring_distrib
  6651 have been improved and renamed to ring_simps, group_simps and
  6652 ring_distribs.  Removed lemmas field_xyz in theory Ring_and_Field
  6653 because they were subsumed by lemmas xyz.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6654 
  6655 * Theory Library/Commutative_Ring: switched from recdef to function
  6656 package; constants add, mul, pow now curried.  Infix syntax for
  6657 algebraic operations.
  6658 
  6659 * Dropped redundant lemma def_imp_eq in favor of meta_eq_to_obj_eq.
  6660 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6661 
  6662 * Dropped redundant lemma if_def2 in favor of if_bool_eq_conj.
  6663 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6664 
  6665 * HOL/records: generalised field-update to take a function on the
  6666 field rather than the new value: r(|A := x|) is translated to A_update
  6667 (K x) r The K-combinator that is internally used is called K_record.
  6668 INCOMPATIBILITY: Usage of the plain update functions has to be
  6669 adapted.
  6670  
  6671 * Class "semiring_0" now contains annihilation axioms x * 0 = 0 and 0
  6672 * x = 0, which are required for a semiring.  Richer structures do not
  6673 inherit from semiring_0 anymore, because this property is a theorem
  6674 there, not an axiom.  INCOMPATIBILITY: In instances of semiring_0,
  6675 there is more to prove, but this is mostly trivial.
  6676 
  6677 * Class "recpower" is generalized to arbitrary monoids, not just
  6678 commutative semirings.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to incorporate
  6679 commutativity or semiring properties additionally.
  6680 
  6681 * Constant "List.list_all2" in List.thy now uses authentic syntax.
  6682 INCOMPATIBILITY: translations containing list_all2 may go wrong,
  6683 better use 'abbreviation'.
  6684 
  6685 * Renamed constant "List.op mem" to "List.member".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6686 
  6687 * Numeral syntax: type 'bin' which was a mere type copy of 'int' has
  6688 been abandoned in favour of plain 'int'.  INCOMPATIBILITY --
  6689 significant changes for setting up numeral syntax for types:
  6690   - New constants Numeral.pred and Numeral.succ instead
  6691       of former Numeral.bin_pred and Numeral.bin_succ.
  6692   - Use integer operations instead of bin_add, bin_mult and so on.
  6693   - Numeral simplification theorems named Numeral.numeral_simps instead of Bin_simps.
  6694   - ML structure Bin_Simprocs now named Int_Numeral_Base_Simprocs.
  6695 
  6696 See src/HOL/Integ/IntArith.thy for an example setup.
  6697 
  6698 * Command 'normal_form' computes the normal form of a term that may
  6699 contain free variables.  For example ``normal_form "rev [a, b, c]"''
  6700 produces ``[b, c, a]'' (without proof).  This command is suitable for
  6701 heavy-duty computations because the functions are compiled to ML
  6702 first.  Correspondingly, a method "normalization" is provided.  See
  6703 further src/HOL/ex/NormalForm.thy and src/Tools/nbe.ML.
  6704 
  6705 * Alternative iff syntax "A <-> B" for equality on bool (with priority
  6706 25 like -->); output depends on the "iff" print_mode, the default is
  6707 "A = B" (with priority 50).
  6708 
  6709 * Relations less (<) and less_eq (<=) are also available on type bool.
  6710 Modified syntax to disallow nesting without explicit parentheses,
  6711 e.g. "(x < y) < z" or "x < (y < z)", but NOT "x < y < z".  Potential
  6712 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6713 
  6714 * "LEAST x:A. P" expands to "LEAST x. x:A & P" (input only).
  6715 
  6716 * Relation composition operator "op O" now has precedence 75 and binds
  6717 stronger than union and intersection. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6718 
  6719 * The old set interval syntax "{m..n(}" (and relatives) has been
  6720 removed.  Use "{m..<n}" (and relatives) instead.
  6721 
  6722 * In the context of the assumption "~(s = t)" the Simplifier rewrites
  6723 "t = s" to False (by simproc "neq").  INCOMPATIBILITY, consider using
  6724 ``declare [[simproc del: neq]]''.
  6725 
  6726 * Simplifier: "m dvd n" where m and n are numbers is evaluated to
  6727 True/False.
  6728 
  6729 * Theorem Cons_eq_map_conv no longer declared as "simp".
  6730 
  6731 * Theorem setsum_mult renamed to setsum_right_distrib.
  6732 
  6733 * Prefer ex1I over ex_ex1I in single-step reasoning, e.g. by the
  6734 ``rule'' method.
  6735 
  6736 * Reimplemented methods "sat" and "satx", with several improvements:
  6737 goals no longer need to be stated as "<prems> ==> False", equivalences
  6738 (i.e. "=" on type bool) are handled, variable names of the form
  6739 "lit_<n>" are no longer reserved, significant speedup.
  6740 
  6741 * Methods "sat" and "satx" can now replay MiniSat proof traces.
  6742 zChaff is still supported as well.
  6743 
  6744 * 'inductive' and 'datatype': provide projections of mutual rules,
  6745 bundled as foo_bar.inducts;
  6746 
  6747 * Library: moved theories Parity, GCD, Binomial, Infinite_Set to
  6748 Library.
  6749 
  6750 * Library: moved theory Accessible_Part to main HOL.
  6751 
  6752 * Library: added theory Coinductive_List of potentially infinite lists
  6753 as greatest fixed-point.
  6754 
  6755 * Library: added theory AssocList which implements (finite) maps as
  6756 association lists.
  6757 
  6758 * Method "evaluation" solves goals (i.e. a boolean expression)
  6759 efficiently by compiling it to ML.  The goal is "proved" (via an
  6760 oracle) if it evaluates to True.
  6761 
  6762 * Linear arithmetic now splits certain operators (e.g. min, max, abs)
  6763 also when invoked by the simplifier.  This results in the Simplifier
  6764 being more powerful on arithmetic goals.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6765 Configuration option fast_arith_split_limit=0 recovers the old
  6766 behavior.
  6767 
  6768 * Support for hex (0x20) and binary (0b1001) numerals.
  6769 
  6770 * New method: reify eqs (t), where eqs are equations for an
  6771 interpretation I :: 'a list => 'b => 'c and t::'c is an optional
  6772 parameter, computes a term s::'b and a list xs::'a list and proves the
  6773 theorem I xs s = t. This is also known as reification or quoting. The
  6774 resulting theorem is applied to the subgoal to substitute t with I xs
  6775 s.  If t is omitted, the subgoal itself is reified.
  6776 
  6777 * New method: reflection corr_thm eqs (t). The parameters eqs and (t)
  6778 are as explained above. corr_thm is a theorem for I vs (f t) = I vs t,
  6779 where f is supposed to be a computable function (in the sense of code
  6780 generattion). The method uses reify to compute s and xs as above then
  6781 applies corr_thm and uses normalization by evaluation to "prove" f s =
  6782 r and finally gets the theorem t = r, which is again applied to the
  6783 subgoal. An Example is available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy.
  6784 
  6785 * Reflection: Automatic reification now handels binding, an example is
  6786 available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy
  6787 
  6788 * HOL-Statespace: ``State Spaces: The Locale Way'' introduces a
  6789 command 'statespace' that is similar to 'record', but introduces an
  6790 abstract specification based on the locale infrastructure instead of
  6791 HOL types.  This leads to extra flexibility in composing state spaces,
  6792 in particular multiple inheritance and renaming of components.
  6793 
  6794 
  6795 *** HOL-Complex ***
  6796 
  6797 * Hyperreal: Functions root and sqrt are now defined on negative real
  6798 inputs so that root n (- x) = - root n x and sqrt (- x) = - sqrt x.
  6799 Nonnegativity side conditions have been removed from many lemmas, so
  6800 that more subgoals may now be solved by simplification; potential
  6801 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6802 
  6803 * Real: new type classes formalize real normed vector spaces and
  6804 algebras, using new overloaded constants scaleR :: real => 'a => 'a
  6805 and norm :: 'a => real.
  6806 
  6807 * Real: constant of_real :: real => 'a::real_algebra_1 injects from
  6808 reals into other types. The overloaded constant Reals :: 'a set is now
  6809 defined as range of_real; potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6810 
  6811 * Real: proper support for ML code generation, including 'quickcheck'.
  6812 Reals are implemented as arbitrary precision rationals.
  6813 
  6814 * Hyperreal: Several constants that previously worked only for the
  6815 reals have been generalized, so they now work over arbitrary vector
  6816 spaces. Type annotations may need to be added in some cases; potential
  6817 INCOMPATIBILITY.

  6833   exp            :: 'a::{recpower,real_normed_field,banach} => 'a
  6834 
  6835 * Complex: Some complex-specific constants are now abbreviations for
  6836 overloaded ones: complex_of_real = of_real, cmod = norm, hcmod =
  6837 hnorm.  Other constants have been entirely removed in favor of the
  6838 polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):

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

  7559   mult_pos_le        now named mult_nonneg_nonneg
  7560   mult_pos_neg_le    now named mult_nonneg_nonpos
  7561   mult_pos_neg2_le   now named mult_nonneg_nonpos2
  7562   mult_neg           now named mult_neg_neg
  7563   mult_neg_le        now named mult_nonpos_nonpos
  7564 
  7565 * The following lemmas in Ring_and_Field have been added to the simplifier:
  7566      
  7567      zero_le_square
  7568      not_square_less_zero 
  7569 
  7570   The following lemmas have been deleted from Real/RealPow:
  7571   
  7572      realpow_zero_zero
  7573      realpow_two
  7574      realpow_less
  7575      zero_le_power
  7576      realpow_two_le
  7577      abs_realpow_two
  7578      realpow_two_abs     
  7579 
  7580 * Theory Parity: added rules for simplifying exponents.
  7581 
  7582 * Theory List:
  7583 
  7584 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7585 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7586 
  7587   list_all_Nil       now named list_all.simps(1)
  7588   list_all_Cons      now named list_all.simps(2)
  7589   list_all_conv      now named list_all_iff
  7590   set_mem_eq         now named mem_iff
  7591 
  7592 * Theories SetsAndFunctions and BigO (see HOL/Library) support
  7593 asymptotic "big O" calculations.  See the notes in BigO.thy.
  7594 
  7595 
  7596 *** HOL-Complex ***
  7597 
  7598 * Theory RealDef: better support for embedding natural numbers and
  7599 integers in the reals.
  7600 
  7601 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7602 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7603 
  7604   exp_ge_add_one_self  now requires no hypotheses
  7605   real_of_int_add      reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7606   real_of_int_minus    reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7607   real_of_int_diff     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7608   real_of_int_mult     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7609 
  7610 * Theory RComplete: expanded support for floor and ceiling functions.
  7611 
  7612 * Theory Ln is new, with properties of the natural logarithm
  7613 
  7614 * Hyperreal: There is a new type constructor "star" for making
  7615 nonstandard types.  The old type names are now type synonyms:
  7616 
  7617   hypreal = real star
  7618   hypnat = nat star
  7619   hcomplex = complex star
  7620 
  7621 * Hyperreal: Many groups of similarly-defined constants have been
  7622 replaced by polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7623

  7637 
  7638 * Hyperreal: Many type-specific theorems have been removed in favor of
  7639 theorems specific to various axiomatic type classes (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  7664   add_nonneg_nonneg <-- hypreal_le_add_order
  7665 
  7666 * Hyperreal: Separate theorems having to do with type-specific
  7667 versions of constants have been merged into theorems that apply to the
  7668 new polymorphic constants (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7669 
  7670   STAR_UNIV_set <-- {STAR_real,NatStar_real,STARC_complex}_set
  7671   STAR_empty_set <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_empty_set

  7758 
  7759 * Hyperreal: new method "transfer" that implements the transfer
  7760 principle of nonstandard analysis. With a subgoal that mentions
  7761 nonstandard types like "'a star", the command "apply transfer"
  7762 replaces it with an equivalent one that mentions only standard types.
  7763 To be successful, all free variables must have standard types; non-
  7764 standard variables must have explicit universal quantifiers.
  7765 
  7766 * Hyperreal: A theory of Taylor series.
  7767 
  7768 
  7769 *** HOLCF ***
  7770 
  7771 * Discontinued special version of 'constdefs' (which used to support
  7772 continuous functions) in favor of the general Pure one with full
  7773 type-inference.
  7774 
  7775 * New simplification procedure for solving continuity conditions; it
  7776 is much faster on terms with many nested lambda abstractions (cubic
  7777 instead of exponential time).
  7778 
  7779 * New syntax for domain package: selector names are now optional.
  7780 Parentheses should be omitted unless argument is lazy, for example:
  7781 
  7782   domain 'a stream = cons "'a" (lazy "'a stream")
  7783 
  7784 * New command 'fixrec' for defining recursive functions with pattern
  7785 matching; defining multiple functions with mutual recursion is also
  7786 supported.  Patterns may include the constants cpair, spair, up, sinl,
  7787 sinr, or any data constructor defined by the domain package. The given
  7788 equations are proven as rewrite rules. See HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  7789 syntax and examples.
  7790 
  7791 * New commands 'cpodef' and 'pcpodef' for defining predicate subtypes
  7792 of cpo and pcpo types. Syntax is exactly like the 'typedef' command,
  7793 but the proof obligation additionally includes an admissibility
  7794 requirement. The packages generate instances of class cpo or pcpo,
  7795 with continuity and strictness theorems for Rep and Abs.
  7796 
  7797 * HOLCF: Many theorems have been renamed according to a more standard naming
  7798 scheme (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7799 
  7800   foo_inject:  "foo$x = foo$y ==> x = y"
  7801   foo_eq:      "(foo$x = foo$y) = (x = y)"
  7802   foo_less:    "(foo$x << foo$y) = (x << y)"
  7803   foo_strict:  "foo$UU = UU"
  7804   foo_defined: "... ==> foo$x ~= UU"
  7805   foo_defined_iff: "(foo$x = UU) = (x = UU)"
  7806 
  7807 
  7808 *** ZF ***
  7809 
  7810 * ZF/ex: theories Group and Ring provide examples in abstract algebra,
  7811 including the First Isomorphism Theorem (on quotienting by the kernel
  7812 of a homomorphism).
  7813 
  7814 * ZF/Simplifier: install second copy of type solver that actually
  7815 makes use of TC rules declared to Isar proof contexts (or locales);
  7816 the old version is still required for ML proof scripts.
  7817 
  7818 
  7819 *** Cube ***
  7820 
  7821 * Converted to Isar theory format; use locales instead of axiomatic
  7822 theories.
  7823 
  7824 
  7825 *** ML ***
  7826 
  7827 * Pure/library.ML: added ##>, ##>>, #>> -- higher-order counterparts
  7828 for ||>, ||>>, |>>,
  7829 
  7830 * Pure/library.ML no longer defines its own option datatype, but uses
  7831 that of the SML basis, which has constructors NONE and SOME instead of
  7832 None and Some, as well as exception Option.Option instead of OPTION.
  7833 The functions the, if_none, is_some, is_none have been adapted
  7834 accordingly, while Option.map replaces apsome.
  7835 
  7836 * Pure/library.ML: the exception LIST has been given up in favour of
  7837 the standard exceptions Empty and Subscript, as well as
  7838 Library.UnequalLengths.  Function like Library.hd and Library.tl are
  7839 superceded by the standard hd and tl functions etc.
  7840 
  7841 A number of basic list functions are no longer exported to the ML
  7842 toplevel, as they are variants of predefined functions.  The following
  7843 suggests how one can translate existing code:
  7844 
  7845     rev_append xs ys = List.revAppend (xs, ys)
  7846     nth_elem (i, xs) = List.nth (xs, i)
  7847     last_elem xs = List.last xs
  7848     flat xss = List.concat xss
  7849     seq fs = List.app fs
  7850     partition P xs = List.partition P xs
  7851     mapfilter f xs = List.mapPartial f xs
  7852 
  7853 * Pure/library.ML: several combinators for linear functional
  7854 transformations, notably reverse application and composition:
  7855 
  7856   x |> f                f #> g
  7857   (x, y) |-> f          f #-> g
  7858 
  7859 * Pure/library.ML: introduced/changed precedence of infix operators:
  7860 
  7861   infix 1 |> |-> ||> ||>> |>> |>>> #> #->;
  7862   infix 2 ?;
  7863   infix 3 o oo ooo oooo;
  7864   infix 4 ~~ upto downto;
  7865 
  7866 Maybe INCOMPATIBILITY when any of those is used in conjunction with other
  7867 infix operators.
  7868 
  7869 * Pure/library.ML: natural list combinators fold, fold_rev, and
  7870 fold_map support linear functional transformations and nesting.  For
  7871 example:
  7872 
  7873   fold f [x1, ..., xN] y =
  7874     y |> f x1 |> ... |> f xN
  7875 
  7876   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] y =
  7877     y |> fold f xs1 |> ... |> fold f xsN
  7878 
  7879   fold f [x1, ..., xN] =
  7880     f x1 #> ... #> f xN
  7881 
  7882   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] =
  7883     fold f xs1 #> ... #> fold f xsN
  7884 
  7885 * Pure/library.ML: the following selectors on type 'a option are
  7886 available:
  7887 
  7888   the:               'a option -> 'a  (*partial*)
  7889   these:             'a option -> 'a  where 'a = 'b list
  7890   the_default: 'a -> 'a option -> 'a
  7891   the_list:          'a option -> 'a list
  7892 
  7893 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  7894 basic operations for association lists, following natural argument
  7895 order; moreover the explicit equality predicate passed here avoids
  7896 potentially expensive polymorphic runtime equality checks.
  7897 The old functions may be expressed as follows:
  7898 
  7899   assoc = uncurry (AList.lookup (op =))
  7900   assocs = these oo AList.lookup (op =)
  7901   overwrite = uncurry (AList.update (op =)) o swap
  7902 
  7903 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  7904 
  7905   val make: ('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> ('a * 'b) list
  7906   val find: ('a * 'b -> bool) -> ('c * 'b) list -> 'a -> 'c list
  7907 
  7908 replacing make_keylist and keyfilter (occassionally used)
  7909 Naive rewrites:
  7910 
  7911   make_keylist = AList.make
  7912   keyfilter = AList.find (op =)
  7913 
  7914 * eq_fst and eq_snd now take explicit equality parameter, thus
  7915   avoiding eqtypes. Naive rewrites:
  7916 
  7917     eq_fst = eq_fst (op =)
  7918     eq_snd = eq_snd (op =)
  7919 
  7920 * Removed deprecated apl and apr (rarely used).
  7921   Naive rewrites:
  7922 
  7923     apl (n, op) =>>= curry op n
  7924     apr (op, m) =>>= fn n => op (n, m)
  7925 
  7926 * Pure/General: structure OrdList (cf. Pure/General/ord_list.ML)
  7927 provides a reasonably efficient light-weight implementation of sets as
  7928 lists.
  7929 
  7930 * Pure/General: generic tables (cf. Pure/General/table.ML) provide a
  7931 few new operations; existing lookup and update are now curried to
  7932 follow natural argument order (for use with fold etc.);
  7933 INCOMPATIBILITY, use (uncurry Symtab.lookup) etc. as last resort.
  7934 
  7935 * Pure/General: output via the Isabelle channels of
  7936 writeln/warning/error etc. is now passed through Output.output, with a
  7937 hook for arbitrary transformations depending on the print_mode
  7938 (cf. Output.add_mode -- the first active mode that provides a output
  7939 function wins).  Already formatted output may be embedded into further
  7940 text via Output.raw; the result of Pretty.string_of/str_of and derived
  7941 functions (string_of_term/cterm/thm etc.) is already marked raw to
  7942 accommodate easy composition of diagnostic messages etc.  Programmers
  7943 rarely need to care about Output.output or Output.raw at all, with
  7944 some notable exceptions: Output.output is required when bypassing the
  7945 standard channels (writeln etc.), or in token translations to produce
  7946 properly formatted results; Output.raw is required when capturing
  7947 already output material that will eventually be presented to the user
  7948 a second time.  For the default print mode, both Output.output and
  7949 Output.raw have no effect.
  7950 
  7951 * Pure/General: Output.time_accumulator NAME creates an operator ('a
  7952 -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'b to measure runtime and count invocations; the
  7953 cumulative results are displayed at the end of a batch session.
  7954 
  7955 * Pure/General: File.sysify_path and File.quote_sysify path have been
  7956 replaced by File.platform_path and File.shell_path (with appropriate
  7957 hooks).  This provides a clean interface for unusual systems where the
  7958 internal and external process view of file names are different.
  7959 
  7960 * Pure: more efficient orders for basic syntactic entities: added
  7961 fast_string_ord, fast_indexname_ord, fast_term_ord; changed sort_ord
  7962 and typ_ord to use fast_string_ord and fast_indexname_ord (term_ord is
  7963 NOT affected); structures Symtab, Vartab, Typtab, Termtab use the fast
  7964 orders now -- potential INCOMPATIBILITY for code that depends on a
  7965 particular order for Symtab.keys, Symtab.dest, etc. (consider using
  7966 Library.sort_strings on result).
  7967 
  7968 * Pure/term.ML: combinators fold_atyps, fold_aterms, fold_term_types,
  7969 fold_types traverse types/terms from left to right, observing natural
  7970 argument order.  Supercedes previous foldl_XXX versions, add_frees,
  7971 add_vars etc. have been adapted as well: INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7972 
  7973 * Pure: name spaces have been refined, with significant changes of the
  7974 internal interfaces -- INCOMPATIBILITY.  Renamed cond_extern(_table)
  7975 to extern(_table).  The plain name entry path is superceded by a
  7976 general 'naming' context, which also includes the 'policy' to produce
  7977 a fully qualified name and external accesses of a fully qualified
  7978 name; NameSpace.extend is superceded by context dependent
  7979 Sign.declare_name.  Several theory and proof context operations modify
  7980 the naming context.  Especially note Theory.restore_naming and
  7981 ProofContext.restore_naming to get back to a sane state; note that
  7982 Theory.add_path is no longer sufficient to recover from
  7983 Theory.absolute_path in particular.
  7984 
  7985 * Pure: new flags short_names (default false) and unique_names
  7986 (default true) for controlling output of qualified names.  If
  7987 short_names is set, names are printed unqualified.  If unique_names is
  7988 reset, the name prefix is reduced to the minimum required to achieve
  7989 the original result when interning again, even if there is an overlap
  7990 with earlier declarations.
  7991 
  7992 * Pure/TheoryDataFun: change of the argument structure; 'prep_ext' is
  7993 now 'extend', and 'merge' gets an additional Pretty.pp argument
  7994 (useful for printing error messages).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7995 
  7996 * Pure: major reorganization of the theory context.  Type Sign.sg and
  7997 Theory.theory are now identified, referring to the universal
  7998 Context.theory (see Pure/context.ML).  Actual signature and theory
  7999 content is managed as theory data.  The old code and interfaces were
  8000 spread over many files and structures; the new arrangement introduces
  8001 considerable INCOMPATIBILITY to gain more clarity:
  8002 
  8003   Context -- theory management operations (name, identity, inclusion,
  8004     parents, ancestors, merge, etc.), plus generic theory data;
  8005 
  8006   Sign -- logical signature and syntax operations (declaring consts,
  8007     types, etc.), plus certify/read for common entities;
  8008 
  8009   Theory -- logical theory operations (stating axioms, definitions,
  8010     oracles), plus a copy of logical signature operations (consts,
  8011     types, etc.); also a few basic management operations (Theory.copy,
  8012     Theory.merge, etc.)
  8013 
  8014 The most basic sign_of operations (Theory.sign_of, Thm.sign_of_thm
  8015 etc.) as well as the sign field in Thm.rep_thm etc. have been retained
  8016 for convenience -- they merely return the theory.
  8017 
  8018 * Pure: type Type.tsig is superceded by theory in most interfaces.
  8019 
  8020 * Pure: the Isar proof context type is already defined early in Pure
  8021 as Context.proof (note that ProofContext.context and Proof.context are
  8022 aliases, where the latter is the preferred name).  This enables other
  8023 Isabelle components to refer to that type even before Isar is present.
  8024 
  8025 * Pure/sign/theory: discontinued named name spaces (i.e. classK,
  8026 typeK, constK, axiomK, oracleK), but provide explicit operations for
  8027 any of these kinds.  For example, Sign.intern typeK is now
  8028 Sign.intern_type, Theory.hide_space Sign.typeK is now
  8029 Theory.hide_types.  Also note that former
  8030 Theory.hide_classes/types/consts are now
  8031 Theory.hide_classes_i/types_i/consts_i, while the non '_i' versions
  8032 internalize their arguments!  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8033 
  8034 * Pure: get_thm interface (of PureThy and ProofContext) expects
  8035 datatype thmref (with constructors Name and NameSelection) instead of
  8036 plain string -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8037 
  8038 * Pure: cases produced by proof methods specify options, where NONE
  8039 means to remove case bindings -- INCOMPATIBILITY in
  8040 (RAW_)METHOD_CASES.
  8041 
  8042 * Pure: the following operations retrieve axioms or theorems from a
  8043 theory node or theory hierarchy, respectively:
  8044 
  8045   Theory.axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  8046   Theory.all_axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  8047   PureThy.thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  8048   PureThy.all_thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  8049 
  8050 * Pure: print_tac now outputs the goal through the trace channel.
  8051 
  8052 * Isar toplevel: improved diagnostics, mostly for Poly/ML only.
  8053 Reference Toplevel.debug (default false) controls detailed printing
  8054 and tracing of low-level exceptions; Toplevel.profiling (default 0)
  8055 controls execution profiling -- set to 1 for time and 2 for space
  8056 (both increase the runtime).
  8057 
  8058 * Isar session: The initial use of ROOT.ML is now always timed,
  8059 i.e. the log will show the actual process times, in contrast to the
  8060 elapsed wall-clock time that the outer shell wrapper produces.
  8061 
  8062 * Simplifier: improved handling of bound variables (nameless
  8063 representation, avoid allocating new strings).  Simprocs that invoke
  8064 the Simplifier recursively should use Simplifier.inherit_bounds to
  8065 avoid local name clashes.  Failure to do so produces warnings
  8066 "Simplifier: renamed bound variable ..."; set Simplifier.debug_bounds
  8067 for further details.
  8068 
  8069 * ML functions legacy_bindings and use_legacy_bindings produce ML fact
  8070 bindings for all theorems stored within a given theory; this may help
  8071 in porting non-Isar theories to Isar ones, while keeping ML proof
  8072 scripts for the time being.
  8073 
  8074 * ML operator HTML.with_charset specifies the charset begin used for
  8075 generated HTML files.  For example:
  8076 
  8077   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Hebrew";
  8078   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Chinese";
  8079 
  8080 
  8081 *** System ***
  8082 
  8083 * Allow symlinks to all proper Isabelle executables (Isabelle,
  8084 isabelle, isatool etc.).
  8085 
  8086 * ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT setting specifies preferred document format (for
  8087 isatool doc, isatool mkdir, display_drafts etc.).
  8088 
  8089 * isatool usedir: option -f allows specification of the ML file to be
  8090 used by Isabelle; default is ROOT.ML.
  8091 
  8092 * New isatool version outputs the version identifier of the Isabelle
  8093 distribution being used.
  8094 
  8095 * HOL: new isatool dimacs2hol converts files in DIMACS CNF format
  8096 (containing Boolean satisfiability problems) into Isabelle/HOL
  8097 theories.
  8098 
  8099 
  8100 
  8101 New in Isabelle2004 (April 2004)
  8102 --------------------------------
  8103 
  8104 *** General ***
  8105 
  8106 * Provers/order.ML:  new efficient reasoner for partial and linear orders.
  8107   Replaces linorder.ML.
  8108 
  8109 * Pure: Greek letters (except small lambda, \<lambda>), as well as Gothic
  8110   (\<aa>...\<zz>\<AA>...\<ZZ>), calligraphic (\<A>...\<Z>), and Euler
  8111   (\<a>...\<z>), are now considered normal letters, and can therefore
  8112   be used anywhere where an ASCII letter (a...zA...Z) has until
  8113   now. COMPATIBILITY: This obviously changes the parsing of some
  8114   terms, especially where a symbol has been used as a binder, say
  8115   '\<Pi>x. ...', which is now a type error since \<Pi>x will be parsed
  8116   as an identifier.  Fix it by inserting a space around former
  8117   symbols.  Call 'isatool fixgreek' to try to fix parsing errors in
  8118   existing theory and ML files.
  8119 
  8120 * Pure: Macintosh and Windows line-breaks are now allowed in theory files.
  8121 
  8122 * Pure: single letter sub/superscripts (\<^isub> and \<^isup>) are now
  8123   allowed in identifiers. Similar to Greek letters \<^isub> is now considered
  8124   a normal (but invisible) letter. For multiple letter subscripts repeat
  8125   \<^isub> like this: x\<^isub>1\<^isub>2.
  8126 
  8127 * Pure: There are now sub-/superscripts that can span more than one
  8128   character. Text between \<^bsub> and \<^esub> is set in subscript in
  8129   ProofGeneral and LaTeX, text between \<^bsup> and \<^esup> in
  8130   superscript. The new control characters are not identifier parts.
  8131 
  8132 * Pure: Control-symbols of the form \<^raw:...> will literally print the
  8133   content of "..." to the latex file instead of \isacntrl... . The "..."
  8134   may consist of any printable characters excluding the end bracket >.
  8135 
  8136 * Pure: Using new Isar command "finalconsts" (or the ML functions
  8137   Theory.add_finals or Theory.add_finals_i) it is now possible to
  8138   declare constants "final", which prevents their being given a definition
  8139   later.  It is useful for constants whose behaviour is fixed axiomatically
  8140   rather than definitionally, such as the meta-logic connectives.
  8141 
  8142 * Pure: 'instance' now handles general arities with general sorts
  8143   (i.e. intersections of classes),
  8144 
  8145 * Presentation: generated HTML now uses a CSS style sheet to make layout
  8146   (somewhat) independent of content. It is copied from lib/html/isabelle.css.
  8147   It can be changed to alter the colors/layout of generated pages.
  8148 
  8149 
  8150 *** Isar ***
  8151 
  8152 * Tactic emulation methods rule_tac, erule_tac, drule_tac, frule_tac,
  8153   cut_tac, subgoal_tac and thin_tac:
  8154   - Now understand static (Isar) contexts.  As a consequence, users of Isar
  8155     locales are no longer forced to write Isar proof scripts.
  8156     For details see Isar Reference Manual, paragraph 4.3.2: Further tactic
  8157     emulations.
  8158   - INCOMPATIBILITY: names of variables to be instantiated may no
  8159     longer be enclosed in quotes.  Instead, precede variable name with `?'.
  8160     This is consistent with the instantiation attribute "where".
  8161 
  8162 * Attributes "where" and "of":
  8163   - Now take type variables of instantiated theorem into account when reading
  8164     the instantiation string.  This fixes a bug that caused instantiated
  8165     theorems to have too special types in some circumstances.
  8166   - "where" permits explicit instantiations of type variables.
  8167 
  8168 * Calculation commands "moreover" and "also" no longer interfere with
  8169   current facts ("this"), admitting arbitrary combinations with "then"
  8170   and derived forms.
  8171 
  8172 * Locales:
  8173   - Goal statements involving the context element "includes" no longer
  8174     generate theorems with internal delta predicates (those ending on
  8175     "_axioms") in the premise.
  8176     Resolve particular premise with <locale>.intro to obtain old form.
  8177   - Fixed bug in type inference ("unify_frozen") that prevented mix of target
  8178     specification and "includes" elements in goal statement.
  8179   - Rule sets <locale>.intro and <locale>.axioms no longer declared as
  8180     [intro?] and [elim?] (respectively) by default.
  8181   - Experimental command for instantiation of locales in proof contexts:
  8182         instantiate <label>[<attrs>]: <loc>
  8183     Instantiates locale <loc> and adds all its theorems to the current context
  8184     taking into account their attributes.  Label and attrs are optional
  8185     modifiers, like in theorem declarations.  If present, names of
  8186     instantiated theorems are qualified with <label>, and the attributes
  8187     <attrs> are applied after any attributes these theorems might have already.
  8188       If the locale has assumptions, a chained fact of the form
  8189     "<loc> t1 ... tn" is expected from which instantiations of the parameters
  8190     are derived.  The command does not support old-style locales declared
  8191     with "locale (open)".
  8192       A few (very simple) examples can be found in FOL/ex/LocaleInst.thy.
  8193 
  8194 * HOL: Tactic emulation methods induct_tac and case_tac understand static
  8195   (Isar) contexts.
  8196 
  8197 
  8198 *** HOL ***
  8199 
  8200 * Proof import: new image HOL4 contains the imported library from
  8201   the HOL4 system with about 2500 theorems. It is imported by
  8202   replaying proof terms produced by HOL4 in Isabelle. The HOL4 image
  8203   can be used like any other Isabelle image.  See
  8204   HOL/Import/HOL/README for more information.
  8205 
  8206 * Simplifier:
  8207   - Much improved handling of linear and partial orders.
  8208     Reasoners for linear and partial orders are set up for type classes
  8209     "linorder" and "order" respectively, and are added to the default simpset
  8210     as solvers.  This means that the simplifier can build transitivity chains
  8211     to solve goals from the assumptions.
  8212   - INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break occasionally.  Typically, applications
  8213     of blast or auto after simplification become unnecessary because the goal
  8214     is solved by simplification already.
  8215 
  8216 * Numerics: new theory Ring_and_Field contains over 250 basic numerical laws,
  8217     all proved in axiomatic type classes for semirings, rings and fields.
  8218 
  8219 * Numerics:
  8220   - Numeric types (nat, int, and in HOL-Complex rat, real, complex, etc.) are
  8221     now formalized using the Ring_and_Field theory mentioned above.
  8222   - INCOMPATIBILITY: simplification and arithmetic behaves somewhat differently
  8223     than before, because now they are set up once in a generic manner.
  8224   - INCOMPATIBILITY: many type-specific arithmetic laws have gone.
  8225     Look for the general versions in Ring_and_Field (and Power if they concern
  8226     exponentiation).
  8227 
  8228 * Type "rat" of the rational numbers is now available in HOL-Complex.
  8229 
  8230 * Records:
  8231   - Record types are now by default printed with their type abbreviation
  8232     instead of the list of all field types. This can be configured via
  8233     the reference "print_record_type_abbr".
  8234   - Simproc "record_upd_simproc" for simplification of multiple updates added
  8235     (not enabled by default).
  8236   - Simproc "record_ex_sel_eq_simproc" to simplify EX x. sel r = x resp.
  8237     EX x. x = sel r to True (not enabled by default).
  8238   - Tactic "record_split_simp_tac" to split and simplify records added.
  8239 
  8240 * 'specification' command added, allowing for definition by
  8241   specification.  There is also an 'ax_specification' command that
  8242   introduces the new constants axiomatically.
  8243 
  8244 * arith(_tac) is now able to generate counterexamples for reals as well.
  8245 
  8246 * HOL-Algebra: new locale "ring" for non-commutative rings.
  8247 
  8248 * HOL-ex: InductiveInvariant_examples illustrates advanced recursive function
  8249   definitions, thanks to Sava Krsti\'{c} and John Matthews.
  8250 
  8251 * HOL-Matrix: a first theory for matrices in HOL with an application of
  8252   matrix theory to linear programming.
  8253 
  8254 * Unions and Intersections:
  8255   The latex output syntax of UN and INT has been changed
  8256   from "\Union x \in A. B" to "\Union_{x \in A} B"
  8257   i.e. the index formulae has become a subscript.
  8258   Similarly for "\Union x. B", and for \Inter instead of \Union.
  8259 
  8260 * Unions and Intersections over Intervals:
  8261   There is new short syntax "UN i<=n. A" for "UN i:{0..n}. A". There is
  8262   also an x-symbol version with subscripts "\<Union>\<^bsub>i <= n\<^esub>. A"
  8263   like in normal math, and corresponding versions for < and for intersection.
  8264 
  8265 * HOL/List: Ordering "lexico" is renamed "lenlex" and the standard
  8266   lexicographic dictonary ordering has been added as "lexord".
  8267 
  8268 * ML: the legacy theory structures Int and List have been removed. They had
  8269   conflicted with ML Basis Library structures having the same names.
  8270 
  8271 * 'refute' command added to search for (finite) countermodels.  Only works
  8272   for a fragment of HOL.  The installation of an external SAT solver is
  8273   highly recommended.  See "HOL/Refute.thy" for details.
  8274 
  8275 * 'quickcheck' command: Allows to find counterexamples by evaluating
  8276   formulae under an assignment of free variables to random values.
  8277   In contrast to 'refute', it can deal with inductive datatypes,
  8278   but cannot handle quantifiers. See "HOL/ex/Quickcheck_Examples.thy"
  8279   for examples.
  8280 
  8281 
  8282 *** HOLCF ***
  8283 
  8284 * Streams now come with concatenation and are part of the HOLCF image
  8285 
  8286 
  8287 
  8288 New in Isabelle2003 (May 2003)
  8289 ------------------------------
  8290 
  8291 *** General ***
  8292 
  8293 * Provers/simplifier:
  8294 
  8295   - Completely reimplemented method simp (ML: Asm_full_simp_tac):
  8296     Assumptions are now subject to complete mutual simplification,
  8297     not just from left to right. The simplifier now preserves
  8298     the order of assumptions.
  8299 
  8300     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  8301 
  8302     -- simp sometimes diverges where the old version did
  8303        not, e.g. invoking simp on the goal
  8304 
  8305         [| P (f x); y = x; f x = f y |] ==> Q
  8306 
  8307        now gives rise to the infinite reduction sequence
  8308 
  8309         P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> P(f y) --(y = x)--> P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> ...
  8310 
  8311        Using "simp (asm_lr)" (ML: Asm_lr_simp_tac) instead often solves this
  8312        kind of problem.
  8313 
  8314     -- Tactics combining classical reasoner and simplification (such as auto)
  8315        are also affected by this change, because many of them rely on
  8316        simp. They may sometimes diverge as well or yield a different numbers
  8317        of subgoals. Try to use e.g. force, fastsimp, or safe instead of auto
  8318        in case of problems. Sometimes subsequent calls to the classical
  8319        reasoner will fail because a preceeding call to the simplifier too
  8320        eagerly simplified the goal, e.g. deleted redundant premises.
  8321 
  8322   - The simplifier trace now shows the names of the applied rewrite rules
  8323 
  8324   - You can limit the number of recursive invocations of the simplifier
  8325     during conditional rewriting (where the simplifie tries to solve the
  8326     conditions before applying the rewrite rule):
  8327     ML "simp_depth_limit := n"
  8328     where n is an integer. Thus you can force termination where previously
  8329     the simplifier would diverge.
  8330 
  8331   - Accepts free variables as head terms in congruence rules.  Useful in Isar.
  8332 
  8333   - No longer aborts on failed congruence proof.  Instead, the
  8334     congruence is ignored.
  8335 
  8336 * Pure: New generic framework for extracting programs from constructive
  8337   proofs. See HOL/Extraction.thy for an example instantiation, as well
  8338   as HOL/Extraction for some case studies.
  8339 
  8340 * Pure: The main goal of the proof state is no longer shown by default, only
  8341 the subgoals. This behaviour is controlled by a new flag.
  8342    PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Settings -> Show Main Goal
  8343 (ML: Proof.show_main_goal).
  8344 
  8345 * Pure: You can find all matching introduction rules for subgoal 1, i.e. all
  8346 rules whose conclusion matches subgoal 1:
  8347       PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Show me -> matching rules
  8348 The rules are ordered by how closely they match the subgoal.
  8349 In particular, rules that solve a subgoal outright are displayed first
  8350 (or rather last, the way they are printed).
  8351 (ML: ProofGeneral.print_intros())
  8352 
  8353 * Pure: New flag trace_unify_fail causes unification to print
  8354 diagnostic information (PG: in trace buffer) when it fails. This is
  8355 useful for figuring out why single step proofs like rule, erule or
  8356 assumption failed.
  8357 
  8358 * Pure: Locale specifications now produce predicate definitions
  8359 according to the body of text (covering assumptions modulo local
  8360 definitions); predicate "loc_axioms" covers newly introduced text,
  8361 while "loc" is cumulative wrt. all included locale expressions; the
  8362 latter view is presented only on export into the global theory
  8363 context; potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use "(open)" option to fall back
  8364 on the old view without predicates;
  8365 
  8366 * Pure: predefined locales "var" and "struct" are useful for sharing
  8367 parameters (as in CASL, for example); just specify something like
  8368 ``var x + var y + struct M'' as import;
  8369 
  8370 * Pure: improved thms_containing: proper indexing of facts instead of
  8371 raw theorems; check validity of results wrt. current name space;
  8372 include local facts of proof configuration (also covers active
  8373 locales), cover fixed variables in index; may use "_" in term
  8374 specification; an optional limit for the number of printed facts may
  8375 be given (the default is 40);
  8376 
  8377 * Pure: disallow duplicate fact bindings within new-style theory files
  8378 (batch-mode only);
  8379 
  8380 * Provers: improved induct method: assumptions introduced by case
  8381 "foo" are split into "foo.hyps" (from the rule) and "foo.prems" (from
  8382 the goal statement); "foo" still refers to all facts collectively;
  8383 
  8384 * Provers: the function blast.overloaded has been removed: all constants
  8385 are regarded as potentially overloaded, which improves robustness in exchange
  8386 for slight decrease in efficiency;
  8387 
  8388 * Provers/linorder: New generic prover for transitivity reasoning over
  8389 linear orders.  Note: this prover is not efficient!
  8390 
  8391 * Isar: preview of problems to finish 'show' now produce an error
  8392 rather than just a warning (in interactive mode);
  8393 
  8394 
  8395 *** HOL ***
  8396 
  8397 * arith(_tac)
  8398 
  8399  - Produces a counter example if it cannot prove a goal.
  8400    Note that the counter example may be spurious if the goal is not a formula
  8401    of quantifier-free linear arithmetic.
  8402    In ProofGeneral the counter example appears in the trace buffer.
  8403 
  8404  - Knows about div k and mod k where k is a numeral of type nat or int.
  8405 
  8406  - Calls full Presburger arithmetic (by Amine Chaieb) if quantifier-free
  8407    linear arithmetic fails. This takes account of quantifiers and divisibility.
  8408    Presburger arithmetic can also be called explicitly via presburger(_tac).
  8409 
  8410 * simp's arithmetic capabilities have been enhanced a bit: it now
  8411 takes ~= in premises into account (by performing a case split);
  8412 
  8413 * simp reduces "m*(n div m) + n mod m" to n, even if the two summands
  8414 are distributed over a sum of terms;
  8415 
  8416 * New tactic "trans_tac" and method "trans" instantiate
  8417 Provers/linorder.ML for axclasses "order" and "linorder" (predicates
  8418 "<=", "<" and "=").
  8419 
  8420 * function INCOMPATIBILITIES: Pi-sets have been redefined and moved from main
  8421 HOL to Library/FuncSet; constant "Fun.op o" is now called "Fun.comp";
  8422 
  8423 * 'typedef' command has new option "open" to suppress the set
  8424 definition;
  8425 
  8426 * functions Min and Max on finite sets have been introduced (theory
  8427 Finite_Set);
  8428 
  8429 * attribute [symmetric] now works for relations as well; it turns
  8430 (x,y) : R^-1 into (y,x) : R, and vice versa;
  8431 
  8432 * induct over a !!-quantified statement (say !!x1..xn):
  8433   each "case" automatically performs "fix x1 .. xn" with exactly those names.
  8434 
  8435 * Map: `empty' is no longer a constant but a syntactic abbreviation for
  8436 %x. None. Warning: empty_def now refers to the previously hidden definition
  8437 of the empty set.
  8438 
  8439 * Algebra: formalization of classical algebra.  Intended as base for
  8440 any algebraic development in Isabelle.  Currently covers group theory
  8441 (up to Sylow's theorem) and ring theory (Universal Property of
  8442 Univariate Polynomials).  Contributions welcome;
  8443 
  8444 * GroupTheory: deleted, since its material has been moved to Algebra;
  8445 
  8446 * Complex: new directory of the complex numbers with numeric constants,
  8447 nonstandard complex numbers, and some complex analysis, standard and
  8448 nonstandard (Jacques Fleuriot);
  8449 
  8450 * HOL-Complex: new image for analysis, replacing HOL-Real and HOL-Hyperreal;
  8451 
  8452 * Hyperreal: introduced Gauge integration and hyperreal logarithms (Jacques
  8453 Fleuriot);
  8454 
  8455 * Real/HahnBanach: updated and adapted to locales;
  8456 
  8457 * NumberTheory: added Gauss's law of quadratic reciprocity (by Avigad,
  8458 Gray and Kramer);
  8459 
  8460 * UNITY: added the Meier-Sanders theory of progress sets;
  8461 
  8462 * MicroJava: bytecode verifier and lightweight bytecode verifier
  8463 as abstract algorithms, instantiated to the JVM;
  8464 
  8465 * Bali: Java source language formalization. Type system, operational
  8466 semantics, axiomatic semantics. Supported language features:
  8467 classes, interfaces, objects,virtual methods, static methods,
  8468 static/instance fields, arrays, access modifiers, definite
  8469 assignment, exceptions.
  8470 
  8471 
  8472 *** ZF ***
  8473 
  8474 * ZF/Constructible: consistency proof for AC (Gdel's constructible
  8475 universe, etc.);
  8476 
  8477 * Main ZF: virtually all theories converted to new-style format;
  8478 
  8479 
  8480 *** ML ***
  8481 
  8482 * Pure: Tactic.prove provides sane interface for internal proofs;
  8483 omits the infamous "standard" operation, so this is more appropriate
  8484 than prove_goalw_cterm in many situations (e.g. in simprocs);
  8485 
  8486 * Pure: improved error reporting of simprocs;
  8487 
  8488 * Provers: Simplifier.simproc(_i) provides sane interface for setting
  8489 up simprocs;
  8490 
  8491 
  8492 *** Document preparation ***
  8493 
  8494 * uses \par instead of \\ for line breaks in theory text. This may
  8495 shift some page breaks in large documents. To get the old behaviour
  8496 use \renewcommand{\isanewline}{\mbox{}\\\mbox{}} in root.tex.
  8497 
  8498 * minimized dependencies of isabelle.sty and isabellesym.sty on
  8499 other packages
  8500 
  8501 * \<euro> now needs package babel/greek instead of marvosym (which
  8502 broke \Rightarrow)
  8503 
  8504 * normal size for \<zero>...\<nine> (uses \mathbf instead of
  8505 textcomp package)
  8506 
  8507 
  8508 
  8509 New in Isabelle2002 (March 2002)
  8510 --------------------------------
  8511 
  8512 *** Document preparation ***
  8513 
  8514 * greatly simplified document preparation setup, including more
  8515 graceful interpretation of isatool usedir -i/-d/-D options, and more
  8516 instructive isatool mkdir; users should basically be able to get
  8517 started with "isatool mkdir HOL Test && isatool make"; alternatively,
  8518 users may run a separate document processing stage manually like this:
  8519 "isatool usedir -D output HOL Test && isatool document Test/output";
  8520 
  8521 * theory dependency graph may now be incorporated into documents;
  8522 isatool usedir -g true will produce session_graph.eps/.pdf for use
  8523 with \includegraphics of LaTeX;
  8524 
  8525 * proper spacing of consecutive markup elements, especially text
  8526 blocks after section headings;
  8527 
  8528 * support bold style (for single symbols only), input syntax is like
  8529 this: "\<^bold>\<alpha>" or "\<^bold>A";
  8530 
  8531 * \<bullet> is now output as bold \cdot by default, which looks much
  8532 better in printed text;
  8533 
  8534 * added default LaTeX bindings for \<tturnstile> and \<TTurnstile>;
  8535 note that these symbols are currently unavailable in Proof General /
  8536 X-Symbol; new symbols \<zero>, \<one>, ..., \<nine>, and \<euro>;
  8537 
  8538 * isatool latex no longer depends on changed TEXINPUTS, instead
  8539 isatool document copies the Isabelle style files to the target
  8540 location;
  8541 
  8542 
  8543 *** Isar ***
  8544 
  8545 * Pure/Provers: improved proof by cases and induction;
  8546   - 'case' command admits impromptu naming of parameters (such as
  8547     "case (Suc n)");
  8548   - 'induct' method divinates rule instantiation from the inductive
  8549     claim; no longer requires excessive ?P bindings for proper
  8550     instantiation of cases;
  8551   - 'induct' method properly enumerates all possibilities of set/type
  8552     rules; as a consequence facts may be also passed through *type*
  8553     rules without further ado;
  8554   - 'induct' method now derives symbolic cases from the *rulified*
  8555     rule (before it used to rulify cases stemming from the internal
  8556     atomized version); this means that the context of a non-atomic
  8557     statement becomes is included in the hypothesis, avoiding the
  8558     slightly cumbersome show "PROP ?case" form;
  8559   - 'induct' may now use elim-style induction rules without chaining
  8560     facts, using ``missing'' premises from the goal state; this allows
  8561     rules stemming from inductive sets to be applied in unstructured
  8562     scripts, while still benefitting from proper handling of non-atomic
  8563     statements; NB: major inductive premises need to be put first, all
  8564     the rest of the goal is passed through the induction;
  8565   - 'induct' proper support for mutual induction involving non-atomic
  8566     rule statements (uses the new concept of simultaneous goals, see
  8567     below);
  8568   - append all possible rule selections, but only use the first
  8569     success (no backtracking);
  8570   - removed obsolete "(simplified)" and "(stripped)" options of methods;
  8571   - undeclared rule case names default to numbers 1, 2, 3, ...;
  8572   - added 'print_induct_rules' (covered by help item in recent Proof
  8573     General versions);
  8574   - moved induct/cases attributes to Pure, methods to Provers;
  8575   - generic method setup instantiated for FOL and HOL;
  8576 
  8577 * Pure: support multiple simultaneous goal statements, for example
  8578 "have a: A and b: B" (same for 'theorem' etc.); being a pure
  8579 meta-level mechanism, this acts as if several individual goals had
  8580 been stated separately; in particular common proof methods need to be
  8581 repeated in order to cover all claims; note that a single elimination
  8582 step is *not* sufficient to establish the two conjunctions, so this
  8583 fails:
  8584 
  8585   assume "A & B" then have A and B ..   (*".." fails*)
  8586 
  8587 better use "obtain" in situations as above; alternative refer to
  8588 multi-step methods like 'auto', 'simp_all', 'blast+' etc.;
  8589 
  8590 * Pure: proper integration with ``locales''; unlike the original
  8591 version by Florian Kammller, Isar locales package high-level proof
  8592 contexts rather than raw logical ones (e.g. we admit to include
  8593 attributes everywhere); operations on locales include merge and
  8594 rename; support for implicit arguments (``structures''); simultaneous
  8595 type-inference over imports and text; see also HOL/ex/Locales.thy for
  8596 some examples;
  8597 
  8598 * Pure: the following commands have been ``localized'', supporting a
  8599 target locale specification "(in name)": 'lemma', 'theorem',
  8600 'corollary', 'lemmas', 'theorems', 'declare'; the results will be
  8601 stored both within the locale and at the theory level (exported and
  8602 qualified by the locale name);
  8603 
  8604 * Pure: theory goals may now be specified in ``long'' form, with
  8605 ad-hoc contexts consisting of arbitrary locale elements. for example
  8606 ``lemma foo: fixes x assumes "A x" shows "B x"'' (local syntax and
  8607 definitions may be given, too); the result is a meta-level rule with
  8608 the context elements being discharged in the obvious way;
  8609 
  8610 * Pure: new proof command 'using' allows to augment currently used
  8611 facts after a goal statement ('using' is syntactically analogous to
  8612 'apply', but acts on the goal's facts only); this allows chained facts
  8613 to be separated into parts given before and after a claim, as in
  8614 ``from a and b have C using d and e <proof>'';
  8615 
  8616 * Pure: renamed "antecedent" case to "rule_context";
  8617 
  8618 * Pure: new 'judgment' command records explicit information about the
  8619 object-logic embedding (used by several tools internally); no longer
  8620 use hard-wired "Trueprop";
  8621 
  8622 * Pure: added 'corollary' command;
  8623 
  8624 * Pure: fixed 'token_translation' command;
  8625 
  8626 * Pure: removed obsolete 'exported' attribute;
  8627 
  8628 * Pure: dummy pattern "_" in is/let is now automatically lifted over
  8629 bound variables: "ALL x. P x --> Q x" (is "ALL x. _ --> ?C x")
  8630 supersedes more cumbersome ... (is "ALL x. _ x --> ?C x");
  8631 
  8632 * Pure: method 'atomize' presents local goal premises as object-level
  8633 statements (atomic meta-level propositions); setup controlled via
  8634 rewrite rules declarations of 'atomize' attribute; example
  8635 application: 'induct' method with proper rule statements in improper
  8636 proof *scripts*;
  8637 
  8638 * Pure: emulation of instantiation tactics (rule_tac, cut_tac, etc.)
  8639 now consider the syntactic context of assumptions, giving a better
  8640 chance to get type-inference of the arguments right (this is
  8641 especially important for locales);
  8642 
  8643 * Pure: "sorry" no longer requires quick_and_dirty in interactive
  8644 mode;
  8645 
  8646 * Pure/obtain: the formal conclusion "thesis", being marked as
  8647 ``internal'', may no longer be reference directly in the text;
  8648 potential INCOMPATIBILITY, may need to use "?thesis" in rare
  8649 situations;
  8650 
  8651 * Pure: generic 'sym' attribute which declares a rule both as pure
  8652 'elim?' and for the 'symmetric' operation;
  8653 
  8654 * Pure: marginal comments ``--'' may now occur just anywhere in the
  8655 text; the fixed correlation with particular command syntax has been
  8656 discontinued;
  8657 
  8658 * Pure: new method 'rules' is particularly well-suited for proof
  8659 search in intuitionistic logic; a bit slower than 'blast' or 'fast',
  8660 but often produces more compact proof terms with less detours;
  8661 
  8662 * Pure/Provers/classical: simplified integration with pure rule
  8663 attributes and methods; the classical "intro?/elim?/dest?"
  8664 declarations coincide with the pure ones; the "rule" method no longer
  8665 includes classically swapped intros; "intro" and "elim" methods no
  8666 longer pick rules from the context; also got rid of ML declarations
  8667 AddXIs/AddXEs/AddXDs; all of this has some potential for
  8668 INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8669 
  8670 * Provers/classical: attribute 'swapped' produces classical inversions
  8671 of introduction rules;
  8672 
  8673 * Provers/simplifier: 'simplified' attribute may refer to explicit
  8674 rules instead of full simplifier context; 'iff' attribute handles
  8675 conditional rules;
  8676 
  8677 * HOL: 'typedef' now allows alternative names for Rep/Abs morphisms;
  8678 
  8679 * HOL: 'recdef' now fails on unfinished automated proofs, use
  8680 "(permissive)" option to recover old behavior;
  8681 
  8682 * HOL: 'inductive' no longer features separate (collective) attributes
  8683 for 'intros' (was found too confusing);
  8684 
  8685 * HOL: properly declared induction rules less_induct and
  8686 wf_induct_rule;
  8687 
  8688 
  8689 *** HOL ***
  8690 
  8691 * HOL: moved over to sane numeral syntax; the new policy is as
  8692 follows:
  8693 
  8694   - 0 and 1 are polymorphic constants, which are defined on any
  8695   numeric type (nat, int, real etc.);
  8696 
  8697   - 2, 3, 4, ... and -1, -2, -3, ... are polymorphic numerals, based
  8698   binary representation internally;
  8699 
  8700   - type nat has special constructor Suc, and generally prefers Suc 0
  8701   over 1::nat and Suc (Suc 0) over 2::nat;
  8702 
  8703 This change may cause significant problems of INCOMPATIBILITY; here
  8704 are some hints on converting existing sources:
  8705 
  8706   - due to the new "num" token, "-0" and "-1" etc. are now atomic
  8707   entities, so expressions involving "-" (unary or binary minus) need
  8708   to be spaced properly;
  8709 
  8710   - existing occurrences of "1" may need to be constraint "1::nat" or
  8711   even replaced by Suc 0; similar for old "2";
  8712 
  8713   - replace "#nnn" by "nnn", and "#-nnn" by "-nnn";
  8714 
  8715   - remove all special provisions on numerals in proofs;
  8716 
  8717 * HOL: simp rules nat_number expand numerals on nat to Suc/0
  8718 representation (depends on bin_arith_simps in the default context);
  8719 
  8720 * HOL: symbolic syntax for x^2 (numeral 2);
  8721 
  8722 * HOL: the class of all HOL types is now called "type" rather than
  8723 "term"; INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt references to this type class
  8724 in axclass/classes, instance/arities, and (usually rare) occurrences
  8725 in typings (of consts etc.); internally the class is called
  8726 "HOL.type", ML programs should refer to HOLogic.typeS;
  8727 
  8728 * HOL/record package improvements:
  8729   - new derived operations "fields" to build a partial record section,
  8730     "extend" to promote a fixed record to a record scheme, and
  8731     "truncate" for the reverse; cf. theorems "xxx.defs", which are *not*
  8732     declared as simp by default;
  8733   - shared operations ("more", "fields", etc.) now need to be always
  8734     qualified) --- potential INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8735   - removed "make_scheme" operations (use "make" with "extend") --
  8736     INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8737   - removed "more" class (simply use "term") -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8738   - provides cases/induct rules for use with corresponding Isar
  8739     methods (for concrete records, record schemes, concrete more
  8740     parts, and schematic more parts -- in that order);
  8741   - internal definitions directly based on a light-weight abstract
  8742     theory of product types over typedef rather than datatype;
  8743 
  8744 * HOL: generic code generator for generating executable ML code from
  8745 specifications; specific support for HOL constructs such as inductive
  8746 datatypes and sets, as well as recursive functions; can be invoked
  8747 via 'generate_code' theory section;
  8748 
  8749 * HOL: canonical cases/induct rules for n-tuples (n = 3..7);
  8750 
  8751 * HOL: consolidated and renamed several theories.  In particular:
  8752         Ord.thy has been absorbed into HOL.thy
  8753         String.thy has been absorbed into List.thy
  8754 
  8755 * HOL: concrete setsum syntax "\<Sum>i:A. b" == "setsum (%i. b) A"
  8756 (beware of argument permutation!);
  8757 
  8758 * HOL: linorder_less_split superseded by linorder_cases;
  8759 
  8760 * HOL/List: "nodups" renamed to "distinct";
  8761 
  8762 * HOL: added "The" definite description operator; move Hilbert's "Eps"
  8763 to peripheral theory "Hilbert_Choice"; some INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  8764   - Ex_def has changed, now need to use some_eq_ex
  8765 
  8766 * HOL: made split_all_tac safe; EXISTING PROOFS MAY FAIL OR LOOP, so
  8767 in this (rare) case use:
  8768 
  8769   delSWrapper "split_all_tac"
  8770   addSbefore ("unsafe_split_all_tac", unsafe_split_all_tac)
  8771 
  8772 * HOL: added safe wrapper "split_conv_tac" to claset; EXISTING PROOFS
  8773 MAY FAIL;
  8774 
  8775 * HOL: introduced f^n = f o ... o f; warning: due to the limits of
  8776 Isabelle's type classes, ^ on functions and relations has too general
  8777 a domain, namely ('a * 'b) set and 'a => 'b; this means that it may be
  8778 necessary to attach explicit type constraints;
  8779 
  8780 * HOL/Relation: the prefix name of the infix "O" has been changed from
  8781 "comp" to "rel_comp"; INCOMPATIBILITY: a few theorems have been
  8782 renamed accordingly (eg "compI" -> "rel_compI").
  8783 
  8784 * HOL: syntax translations now work properly with numerals and records
  8785 expressions;
  8786 
  8787 * HOL: bounded abstraction now uses syntax "%" / "\<lambda>" instead
  8788 of "lam" -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8789 
  8790 * HOL: got rid of some global declarations (potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  8791 for ML tools): const "()" renamed "Product_Type.Unity", type "unit"
  8792 renamed "Product_Type.unit";
  8793 
  8794 * HOL: renamed rtrancl_into_rtrancl2 to converse_rtrancl_into_rtrancl
  8795 
  8796 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem "optionE" (use "option.exhaust", or
  8797 the "cases" method);
  8798 
  8799 * HOL/GroupTheory: group theory examples including Sylow's theorem (by
  8800 Florian Kammller);
  8801 
  8802 * HOL/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory format; several
  8803 parts turned into readable document, with proper Isar proof texts and
  8804 some explanations (by Gerwin Klein);
  8805 
  8806 * HOL-Real: added Complex_Numbers (by Gertrud Bauer);
  8807 
  8808 * HOL-Hyperreal is now a logic image;
  8809 
  8810 
  8811 *** HOLCF ***
  8812 
  8813 * Isar: consts/constdefs supports mixfix syntax for continuous
  8814 operations;
  8815 
  8816 * Isar: domain package adapted to new-style theory format, e.g. see
  8817 HOLCF/ex/Dnat.thy;
  8818 
  8819 * theory Lift: proper use of rep_datatype lift instead of ML hacks --
  8820 potential INCOMPATIBILITY; now use plain induct_tac instead of former
  8821 lift.induct_tac, always use UU instead of Undef;
  8822 
  8823 * HOLCF/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory;
  8824 
  8825 
  8826 *** ZF ***
  8827 
  8828 * Isar: proper integration of logic-specific tools and packages,
  8829 including theory commands '(co)inductive', '(co)datatype',
  8830 'rep_datatype', 'inductive_cases', as well as methods 'ind_cases',
  8831 'induct_tac', 'case_tac', and 'typecheck' (with attribute 'TC');
  8832 
  8833 * theory Main no longer includes AC; for the Axiom of Choice, base
  8834 your theory on Main_ZFC;
  8835 
  8836 * the integer library now covers quotients and remainders, with many
  8837 laws relating division to addition, multiplication, etc.;
  8838 
  8839 * ZF/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY is now available in ZF, giving a
  8840 typeless version of the formalism;
  8841 
  8842 * ZF/AC, Coind, IMP, Resid: updated and converted to new-style theory
  8843 format;
  8844 
  8845 * ZF/Induct: new directory for examples of inductive definitions,
  8846 including theory Multiset for multiset orderings; converted to
  8847 new-style theory format;
  8848 
  8849 * ZF: many new theorems about lists, ordinals, etc.;
  8850 
  8851 
  8852 *** General ***
  8853 
  8854 * Pure/kernel: meta-level proof terms (by Stefan Berghofer); reference
  8855 variable proof controls level of detail: 0 = no proofs (only oracle
  8856 dependencies), 1 = lemma dependencies, 2 = compact proof terms; see
  8857 also ref manual for further ML interfaces;
  8858 
  8859 * Pure/axclass: removed obsolete ML interface
  8860 goal_subclass/goal_arity;
  8861 
  8862 * Pure/syntax: new token syntax "num" for plain numerals (without "#"
  8863 of "xnum"); potential INCOMPATIBILITY, since -0, -1 etc. are now
  8864 separate tokens, so expressions involving minus need to be spaced
  8865 properly;
  8866 
  8867 * Pure/syntax: support non-oriented infixes, using keyword "infix"
  8868 rather than "infixl" or "infixr";
  8869 
  8870 * Pure/syntax: concrete syntax for dummy type variables admits genuine
  8871 sort constraint specifications in type inference; e.g. "x::_::foo"
  8872 ensures that the type of "x" is of sort "foo" (but not necessarily a
  8873 type variable);
  8874 
  8875 * Pure/syntax: print modes "type_brackets" and "no_type_brackets"
  8876 control output of nested => (types); the default behavior is
  8877 "type_brackets";
  8878 
  8879 * Pure/syntax: builtin parse translation for "_constify" turns valued
  8880 tokens into AST constants;
  8881 
  8882 * Pure/syntax: prefer later declarations of translations and print
  8883 translation functions; potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to reverse
  8884 multiple declarations for same syntax element constant;
  8885 
  8886 * Pure/show_hyps reset by default (in accordance to existing Isar
  8887 practice);
  8888 
  8889 * Provers/classical: renamed addaltern to addafter, addSaltern to
  8890 addSafter;
  8891 
  8892 * Provers/clasimp: ``iff'' declarations now handle conditional rules
  8893 as well;
  8894 
  8895 * system: tested support for MacOS X; should be able to get Isabelle +
  8896 Proof General to work in a plain Terminal after installing Poly/ML
  8897 (e.g. from the Isabelle distribution area) and GNU bash alone
  8898 (e.g. from http://www.apple.com); full X11, XEmacs and X-Symbol
  8899 support requires further installations, e.g. from
  8900 http://fink.sourceforge.net/);
  8901 
  8902 * system: support Poly/ML 4.1.1 (able to manage larger heaps);
  8903 
  8904 * system: reduced base memory usage by Poly/ML (approx. 20 MB instead
  8905 of 40 MB), cf. ML_OPTIONS;
  8906 
  8907 * system: Proof General keywords specification is now part of the
  8908 Isabelle distribution (see etc/isar-keywords.el);
  8909 
  8910 * system: support for persistent Proof General sessions (refrain from
  8911 outdating all loaded theories on startup); user may create writable
  8912 logic images like this: ``isabelle -q HOL Test'';
  8913 
  8914 * system: smart selection of Isabelle process versus Isabelle
  8915 interface, accommodates case-insensitive file systems (e.g. HFS+); may
  8916 run both "isabelle" and "Isabelle" even if file names are badly
  8917 damaged (executable inspects the case of the first letter of its own
  8918 name); added separate "isabelle-process" and "isabelle-interface";
  8919 
  8920 * system: refrain from any attempt at filtering input streams; no
  8921 longer support ``8bit'' encoding of old isabelle font, instead proper
  8922 iso-latin characters may now be used; the related isatools
  8923 "symbolinput" and "nonascii" have disappeared as well;
  8924 
  8925 * system: removed old "xterm" interface (the print modes "xterm" and
  8926 "xterm_color" are still available for direct use in a suitable
  8927 terminal);
  8928 
  8929 
  8930 
  8931 New in Isabelle99-2 (February 2001)
  8932 -----------------------------------
  8933 
  8934 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  8935 
  8936 * HOL: please note that theories in the Library and elsewhere often use the
  8937 new-style (Isar) format; to refer to their theorems in an ML script you must
  8938 bind them to ML identifers by e.g.      val thm_name = thm "thm_name";
  8939 
  8940 * HOL: inductive package no longer splits induction rule aggressively,
  8941 but only as far as specified by the introductions given; the old
  8942 format may be recovered via ML function complete_split_rule or attribute
  8943 'split_rule (complete)';
  8944 
  8945 * HOL: induct renamed to lfp_induct, lfp_Tarski to lfp_unfold,
  8946 gfp_Tarski to gfp_unfold;
  8947 
  8948 * HOL: contrapos, contrapos2 renamed to contrapos_nn, contrapos_pp;
  8949 
  8950 * HOL: infix "dvd" now has priority 50 rather than 70 (because it is a
  8951 relation); infix "^^" has been renamed "``"; infix "``" has been
  8952 renamed "`"; "univalent" has been renamed "single_valued";
  8953 
  8954 * HOL/Real: "rinv" and "hrinv" replaced by overloaded "inverse"
  8955 operation;
  8956 
  8957 * HOLCF: infix "`" has been renamed "$"; the symbol syntax is \<cdot>;
  8958 
  8959 * Isar: 'obtain' no longer declares "that" fact as simp/intro;
  8960 
  8961 * Isar/HOL: method 'induct' now handles non-atomic goals; as a
  8962 consequence, it is no longer monotonic wrt. the local goal context
  8963 (which is now passed through the inductive cases);
  8964 
  8965 * Document preparation: renamed standard symbols \<ll> to \<lless> and
  8966 \<gg> to \<ggreater>;
  8967 
  8968 
  8969 *** Document preparation ***
  8970 
  8971 * \isabellestyle{NAME} selects version of Isabelle output (currently
  8972 available: are "it" for near math-mode best-style output, "sl" for
  8973 slanted text style, and "tt" for plain type-writer; if no
  8974 \isabellestyle command is given, output is according to slanted
  8975 type-writer);
  8976 
  8977 * support sub/super scripts (for single symbols only), input syntax is
  8978 like this: "A\<^sup>*" or "A\<^sup>\<star>";
  8979 
  8980 * some more standard symbols; see Appendix A of the system manual for
  8981 the complete list of symbols defined in isabellesym.sty;
  8982 
  8983 * improved isabelle style files; more abstract symbol implementation
  8984 (should now use \isamath{...} and \isatext{...} in custom symbol
  8985 definitions);
  8986 
  8987 * antiquotation @{goals} and @{subgoals} for output of *dynamic* goals
  8988 state; Note that presentation of goal states does not conform to
  8989 actual human-readable proof documents.  Please do not include goal
  8990 states into document output unless you really know what you are doing!
  8991 
  8992 * proper indentation of antiquoted output with proportional LaTeX
  8993 fonts;
  8994 
  8995 * no_document ML operator temporarily disables LaTeX document
  8996 generation;
  8997 
  8998 * isatool unsymbolize tunes sources for plain ASCII communication;
  8999 
  9000 
  9001 *** Isar ***
  9002 
  9003 * Pure: Isar now suffers initial goal statements to contain unbound
  9004 schematic variables (this does not conform to actual readable proof
  9005 documents, due to unpredictable outcome and non-compositional proof
  9006 checking); users who know what they are doing may use schematic goals
  9007 for Prolog-style synthesis of proven results;
  9008 
  9009 * Pure: assumption method (an implicit finishing) now handles actual
  9010 rules as well;
  9011 
  9012 * Pure: improved 'obtain' --- moved to Pure, insert "that" into
  9013 initial goal, declare "that" only as Pure intro (only for single
  9014 steps); the "that" rule assumption may now be involved in implicit
  9015 finishing, thus ".." becomes a feasible for trivial obtains;
  9016 
  9017 * Pure: default proof step now includes 'intro_classes'; thus trivial
  9018 instance proofs may be performed by "..";
  9019 
  9020 * Pure: ?thesis / ?this / "..." now work for pure meta-level
  9021 statements as well;
  9022 
  9023 * Pure: more robust selection of calculational rules;
  9024 
  9025 * Pure: the builtin notion of 'finished' goal now includes the ==-refl
  9026 rule (as well as the assumption rule);
  9027 
  9028 * Pure: 'thm_deps' command visualizes dependencies of theorems and
  9029 lemmas, using the graph browser tool;
  9030 
  9031 * Pure: predict failure of "show" in interactive mode;
  9032 
  9033 * Pure: 'thms_containing' now takes actual terms as arguments;
  9034 
  9035 * HOL: improved method 'induct' --- now handles non-atomic goals
  9036 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY); tuned error handling;
  9037 
  9038 * HOL: cases and induct rules now provide explicit hints about the
  9039 number of facts to be consumed (0 for "type" and 1 for "set" rules);
  9040 any remaining facts are inserted into the goal verbatim;
  9041 
  9042 * HOL: local contexts (aka cases) may now contain term bindings as
  9043 well; the 'cases' and 'induct' methods new provide a ?case binding for
  9044 the result to be shown in each case;
  9045 
  9046 * HOL: added 'recdef_tc' command;
  9047 
  9048 * isatool convert assists in eliminating legacy ML scripts;
  9049 
  9050 
  9051 *** HOL ***
  9052 
  9053 * HOL/Library: a collection of generic theories to be used together
  9054 with main HOL; the theory loader path already includes this directory
  9055 by default; the following existing theories have been moved here:
  9056 HOL/Induct/Multiset, HOL/Induct/Acc (as Accessible_Part), HOL/While
  9057 (as While_Combinator), HOL/Lex/Prefix (as List_Prefix);
  9058 
  9059 * HOL/Unix: "Some aspects of Unix file-system security", a typical
  9060 modelling and verification task performed in Isabelle/HOL +
  9061 Isabelle/Isar + Isabelle document preparation (by Markus Wenzel).
  9062 
  9063 * HOL/Algebra: special summation operator SUM no longer exists, it has
  9064 been replaced by setsum; infix 'assoc' now has priority 50 (like
  9065 'dvd'); axiom 'one_not_zero' has been moved from axclass 'ring' to
  9066 'domain', this makes the theory consistent with mathematical
  9067 literature;
  9068 
  9069 * HOL basics: added overloaded operations "inverse" and "divide"
  9070 (infix "/"), syntax for generic "abs" operation, generic summation
  9071 operator \<Sum>;
  9072 
  9073 * HOL/typedef: simplified package, provide more useful rules (see also
  9074 HOL/subset.thy);
  9075 
  9076 * HOL/datatype: induction rule for arbitrarily branching datatypes is
  9077 now expressed as a proper nested rule (old-style tactic scripts may
  9078 require atomize_strip_tac to cope with non-atomic premises);
  9079 
  9080 * HOL: renamed theory "Prod" to "Product_Type", renamed "split" rule
  9081 to "split_conv" (old name still available for compatibility);
  9082 
  9083 * HOL: improved concrete syntax for strings (e.g. allows translation
  9084 rules with string literals);
  9085 
  9086 * HOL-Real-Hyperreal: this extends HOL-Real with the hyperreals
  9087  and Fleuriot's mechanization of analysis, including the transcendental
  9088  functions for the reals;
  9089 
  9090 * HOL/Real, HOL/Hyperreal: improved arithmetic simplification;
  9091 
  9092 
  9093 *** CTT ***
  9094 
  9095 * CTT: x-symbol support for Pi, Sigma, -->, : (membership); note that
  9096 "lam" is displayed as TWO lambda-symbols
  9097 
  9098 * CTT: theory Main now available, containing everything (that is, Bool
  9099 and Arith);
  9100 
  9101 
  9102 *** General ***
  9103 
  9104 * Pure: the Simplifier has been implemented properly as a derived rule
  9105 outside of the actual kernel (at last!); the overall performance
  9106 penalty in practical applications is about 50%, while reliability of
  9107 the Isabelle inference kernel has been greatly improved;
  9108 
  9109 * print modes "brackets" and "no_brackets" control output of nested =>
  9110 (types) and ==> (props); the default behaviour is "brackets";
  9111 
  9112 * Provers: fast_tac (and friends) now handle actual object-logic rules
  9113 as assumptions as well;
  9114 
  9115 * system: support Poly/ML 4.0;
  9116 
  9117 * system: isatool install handles KDE version 1 or 2;
  9118 
  9119 
  9120 
  9121 New in Isabelle99-1 (October 2000)
  9122 ----------------------------------
  9123 
  9124 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  9125 
  9126 * HOL: simplification of natural numbers is much changed; to partly
  9127 recover the old behaviour (e.g. to prevent n+n rewriting to #2*n)
  9128 issue the following ML commands:
  9129 
  9130   Delsimprocs Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.cancel_numerals;
  9131   Delsimprocs [Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.combine_numerals];
  9132 
  9133 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions; this is
  9134 controlled by "t.weak_case_cong" for each datatype t;
  9135 
  9136 * HOL: nat_less_induct renamed to less_induct;
  9137 
  9138 * HOL: systematic renaming of the SOME (Eps) rules, may use isatool
  9139 fixsome to patch .thy and .ML sources automatically;
  9140 
  9141   select_equality  -> some_equality
  9142   select_eq_Ex     -> some_eq_ex
  9143   selectI2EX       -> someI2_ex
  9144   selectI2         -> someI2
  9145   selectI          -> someI
  9146   select1_equality -> some1_equality
  9147   Eps_sym_eq       -> some_sym_eq_trivial
  9148   Eps_eq           -> some_eq_trivial
  9149 
  9150 * HOL: exhaust_tac on datatypes superceded by new generic case_tac;
  9151 
  9152 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem binding expand_if (refer to split_if
  9153 instead);
  9154 
  9155 * HOL: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' are now called
  9156 f.simps instead of f.rules;
  9157 
  9158 * HOL: qed_spec_mp now also handles bounded ALL as well;
  9159 
  9160 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded, so the type constraint ":: nat" may
  9161 sometimes be needed;
  9162 
  9163 * HOL: the constant for "f``x" is now "image" rather than "op ``";
  9164 
  9165 * HOL: the constant for "f-``x" is now "vimage" rather than "op -``";
  9166 
  9167 * HOL: the disjoint sum is now "<+>" instead of "Plus"; the cartesian
  9168 product is now "<*>" instead of "Times"; the lexicographic product is
  9169 now "<*lex*>" instead of "**";
  9170 
  9171 * HOL: theory Sexp is now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part
  9172 of main HOL, but was unused); better use HOL's datatype package;
  9173 
  9174 * HOL: removed "symbols" syntax for constant "override" of theory Map;
  9175 the old syntax may be recovered as follows:
  9176 
  9177   syntax (symbols)
  9178     override  :: "('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b)"
  9179       (infixl "\\<oplus>" 100)
  9180 
  9181 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
  9182 
  9183 * HOL/ML: even fewer consts are declared as global (see theories Ord,
  9184 Lfp, Gfp, WF); this only affects ML packages that refer to const names
  9185 internally;
  9186 
  9187 * HOL and ZF: syntax for quotienting wrt an equivalence relation
  9188 changed from A/r to A//r;
  9189 
  9190 * ZF: new treatment of arithmetic (nat & int) may break some old
  9191 proofs;
  9192 
  9193 * Isar: renamed some attributes (RS -> THEN, simplify -> simplified,
  9194 rulify -> rule_format, elimify -> elim_format, ...);
  9195 
  9196 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
  9197 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (in most cases, one
  9198 should have to change intro!! to intro? only); replaced "delrule" by
  9199 "rule del";
  9200 
  9201 * Isar/HOL: renamed "intrs" to "intros" in inductive definitions;
  9202 
  9203 * Provers: strengthened force_tac by using new first_best_tac;
  9204 
  9205 * LaTeX document preparation: several changes of isabelle.sty (see
  9206 lib/texinputs);
  9207 
  9208 
  9209 *** Document preparation ***
  9210 
  9211 * formal comments (text blocks etc.) in new-style theories may now
  9212 contain antiquotations of thm/prop/term/typ/text to be presented
  9213 according to latex print mode; concrete syntax is like this:
  9214 @{term[show_types] "f(x) = a + x"};
  9215 
  9216 * isatool mkdir provides easy setup of Isabelle session directories,
  9217 including proper document sources;
  9218 
  9219 * generated LaTeX sources are now deleted after successful run
  9220 (isatool document -c); may retain a copy somewhere else via -D option
  9221 of isatool usedir;
  9222 
  9223 * isatool usedir -D now lets isatool latex -o sty update the Isabelle
  9224 style files, achieving self-contained LaTeX sources and simplifying
  9225 LaTeX debugging;
  9226 
  9227 * old-style theories now produce (crude) LaTeX output as well;
  9228 
  9229 * browser info session directories are now self-contained (may be put
  9230 on WWW server seperately); improved graphs of nested sessions; removed
  9231 graph for 'all sessions';
  9232 
  9233 * several improvements in isabelle style files; \isabellestyle{it}
  9234 produces fake math mode output; \isamarkupheader is now \section by
  9235 default; see lib/texinputs/isabelle.sty etc.;
  9236 
  9237 
  9238 *** Isar ***
  9239 
  9240 * Isar/Pure: local results and corresponding term bindings are now
  9241 subject to Hindley-Milner polymorphism (similar to ML); this
  9242 accommodates incremental type-inference very nicely;
  9243 
  9244 * Isar/Pure: new derived language element 'obtain' supports
  9245 generalized existence reasoning;
  9246 
  9247 * Isar/Pure: new calculational elements 'moreover' and 'ultimately'
  9248 support accumulation of results, without applying any rules yet;
  9249 useful to collect intermediate results without explicit name
  9250 references, and for use with transitivity rules with more than 2
  9251 premises;
  9252 
  9253 * Isar/Pure: scalable support for case-analysis type proofs: new
  9254 'case' language element refers to local contexts symbolically, as
  9255 produced by certain proof methods; internally, case names are attached
  9256 to theorems as "tags";
  9257 
  9258 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'hide' removes declarations from
  9259 class/type/const name spaces;
  9260 
  9261 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'defs' supports option "(overloaded)" to
  9262 indicate potential overloading;
  9263 
  9264 * Isar/Pure: changed syntax of local blocks from {{ }} to { };
  9265 
  9266 * Isar/Pure: syntax of sorts made 'inner', i.e. have to write
  9267 "{a,b,c}" instead of {a,b,c};
  9268 
  9269 * Isar/Pure now provides its own version of intro/elim/dest
  9270 attributes; useful for building new logics, but beware of confusion
  9271 with the version in Provers/classical;
  9272 
  9273 * Isar/Pure: the local context of (non-atomic) goals is provided via
  9274 case name 'antecedent';
  9275 
  9276 * Isar/Pure: removed obsolete 'transfer' attribute (transfer of thms
  9277 to the current context is now done automatically);
  9278 
  9279 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'method_setup' provides a simple interface
  9280 for definining proof methods in ML;
  9281 
  9282 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
  9283 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  9284 most cases, one should have to change intro!! to intro? only);
  9285 replaced "delrule" by "rule del";
  9286 
  9287 * Isar/Provers: new 'hypsubst' method, plain 'subst' method and
  9288 'symmetric' attribute (the latter supercedes [RS sym]);
  9289 
  9290 * Isar/Provers: splitter support (via 'split' attribute and 'simp'
  9291 method modifier); 'simp' method: 'only:' modifier removes loopers as
  9292 well (including splits);
  9293 
  9294 * Isar/Provers: Simplifier and Classical methods now support all kind
  9295 of modifiers used in the past, including 'cong', 'iff', etc.
  9296 
  9297 * Isar/Provers: added 'fastsimp' and 'clarsimp' methods (combination
  9298 of Simplifier and Classical reasoner);
  9299 
  9300 * Isar/HOL: new proof method 'cases' and improved version of 'induct'
  9301 now support named cases; major packages (inductive, datatype, primrec,
  9302 recdef) support case names and properly name parameters;
  9303 
  9304 * Isar/HOL: new transitivity rules for substitution in inequalities --
  9305 monotonicity conditions are extracted to be proven at end of
  9306 calculations;
  9307 
  9308 * Isar/HOL: removed 'case_split' thm binding, should use 'cases' proof
  9309 method anyway;
  9310 
  9311 * Isar/HOL: removed old expand_if = split_if; theorems if_splits =
  9312 split_if split_if_asm; datatype package provides theorems foo.splits =
  9313 foo.split foo.split_asm for each datatype;
  9314 
  9315 * Isar/HOL: tuned inductive package, rename "intrs" to "intros"
  9316 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY), emulation of mk_cases feature for proof
  9317 scripts: new 'inductive_cases' command and 'ind_cases' method; (Note:
  9318 use "(cases (simplified))" method in proper proof texts);
  9319 
  9320 * Isar/HOL: added global 'arith_split' attribute for 'arith' method;
  9321 
  9322 * Isar: names of theorems etc. may be natural numbers as well;
  9323 
  9324 * Isar: 'pr' command: optional arguments for goals_limit and
  9325 ProofContext.prems_limit; no longer prints theory contexts, but only
  9326 proof states;
  9327 
  9328 * Isar: diagnostic commands 'pr', 'thm', 'prop', 'term', 'typ' admit
  9329 additional print modes to be specified; e.g. "pr(latex)" will print
  9330 proof state according to the Isabelle LaTeX style;
  9331 
  9332 * Isar: improved support for emulating tactic scripts, including proof
  9333 methods 'rule_tac' etc., 'cut_tac', 'thin_tac', 'subgoal_tac',
  9334 'rename_tac', 'rotate_tac', 'tactic', and 'case_tac' / 'induct_tac'
  9335 (for HOL datatypes);
  9336 
  9337 * Isar: simplified (more robust) goal selection of proof methods: 1st
  9338 goal, all goals, or explicit goal specifier (tactic emulation); thus
  9339 'proof method scripts' have to be in depth-first order;
  9340 
  9341 * Isar: tuned 'let' syntax: replaced 'as' keyword by 'and';
  9342 
  9343 * Isar: removed 'help' command, which hasn't been too helpful anyway;
  9344 should instead use individual commands for printing items
  9345 (print_commands, print_methods etc.);
  9346 
  9347 * Isar: added 'nothing' --- the empty list of theorems;
  9348 
  9349 
  9350 *** HOL ***
  9351 
  9352 * HOL/MicroJava: formalization of a fragment of Java, together with a
  9353 corresponding virtual machine and a specification of its bytecode
  9354 verifier and a lightweight bytecode verifier, including proofs of
  9355 type-safety; by Gerwin Klein, Tobias Nipkow, David von Oheimb, and
  9356 Cornelia Pusch (see also the homepage of project Bali at
  9357 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Bali/);
  9358 
  9359 * HOL/Algebra: new theory of rings and univariate polynomials, by
  9360 Clemens Ballarin;
  9361 
  9362 * HOL/NumberTheory: fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, Chinese
  9363 Remainder Theorem, Fermat/Euler Theorem, Wilson's Theorem, by Thomas M
  9364 Rasmussen;
  9365 
  9366 * HOL/Lattice: fundamental concepts of lattice theory and order
  9367 structures, including duals, properties of bounds versus algebraic
  9368 laws, lattice operations versus set-theoretic ones, the Knaster-Tarski
  9369 Theorem for complete lattices etc.; may also serve as a demonstration
  9370 for abstract algebraic reasoning using axiomatic type classes, and
  9371 mathematics-style proof in Isabelle/Isar; by Markus Wenzel;
  9372 
  9373 * HOL/Prolog: a (bare-bones) implementation of Lambda-Prolog, by David
  9374 von Oheimb;
  9375 
  9376 * HOL/IMPP: extension of IMP with local variables and mutually
  9377 recursive procedures, by David von Oheimb;
  9378 
  9379 * HOL/Lambda: converted into new-style theory and document;
  9380 
  9381 * HOL/ex/Multiquote: example of multiple nested quotations and
  9382 anti-quotations -- basically a generalized version of de-Bruijn
  9383 representation; very useful in avoiding lifting of operations;
  9384 
  9385 * HOL/record: added general record equality rule to simpset; fixed
  9386 select-update simplification procedure to handle extended records as
  9387 well; admit "r" as field name;
  9388 
  9389 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded over the new sort "zero", allowing its use with
  9390 other numeric types and also as the identity of groups, rings, etc.;
  9391 
  9392 * HOL: new axclass plus_ac0 for addition with the AC-laws and 0 as identity.
  9393 Types nat and int belong to this axclass;
  9394 
  9395 * HOL: greatly improved simplification involving numerals of type nat, int, real:
  9396    (i + #8 + j) = Suc k simplifies to  #7 + (i + j) = k
  9397    i*j + k + j*#3*i     simplifies to  #4*(i*j) + k
  9398   two terms #m*u and #n*u are replaced by #(m+n)*u
  9399     (where #m, #n and u can implicitly be 1; this is simproc combine_numerals)
  9400   and the term/formula #m*u+x ~~ #n*u+y simplifies simplifies to #(m-n)+x ~~ y
  9401     or x ~~ #(n-m)+y, where ~~ is one of = < <= or - (simproc cancel_numerals);
  9402 
  9403 * HOL: meson_tac is available (previously in ex/meson.ML); it is a
  9404 powerful prover for predicate logic but knows nothing of clasets; see
  9405 ex/mesontest.ML and ex/mesontest2.ML for example applications;
  9406 
  9407 * HOL: new version of "case_tac" subsumes both boolean case split and
  9408 "exhaust_tac" on datatypes; INCOMPATIBILITY: exhaust_tac no longer
  9409 exists, may define val exhaust_tac = case_tac for ad-hoc portability;
  9410 
  9411 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions: only the
  9412 selector expression is simplified, but not the remaining arms; to
  9413 enable full simplification of case-expressions for datatype t, you may
  9414 remove t.weak_case_cong from the simpset, either globally (Delcongs
  9415 [thm"t.weak_case_cong"];) or locally (delcongs [...]).
  9416 
  9417 * HOL/recdef: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' for
  9418 function 'f' are now called f.simps instead of f.rules; if all
  9419 termination conditions are proved automatically, these simplification
  9420 rules are added to the simpset, as in primrec; rules may be named
  9421 individually as well, resulting in a separate list of theorems for
  9422 each equation;
  9423 
  9424 * HOL/While is a new theory that provides a while-combinator. It
  9425 permits the definition of tail-recursive functions without the
  9426 provision of a termination measure. The latter is necessary once the
  9427 invariant proof rule for while is applied.
  9428 
  9429 * HOL: new (overloaded) notation for the set of elements below/above
  9430 some element: {..u}, {..u(}, {l..}, {)l..}. See theory SetInterval.
  9431 
  9432 * HOL: theorems impI, allI, ballI bound as "strip";
  9433 
  9434 * HOL: new tactic induct_thm_tac: thm -> string -> int -> tactic
  9435 induct_tac th "x1 ... xn" expects th to have a conclusion of the form
  9436 P v1 ... vn and abbreviates res_inst_tac [("v1","x1"),...,("vn","xn")] th;
  9437 
  9438 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
  9439 
  9440 * HOL: theory Sexp now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part of
  9441 main HOL, but was unused);
  9442 
  9443 * HOL: fewer consts declared as global (e.g. have to refer to
  9444 "Lfp.lfp" instead of "lfp" internally; affects ML packages only);
  9445 
  9446 * HOL: tuned AST representation of nested pairs, avoiding bogus output
  9447 in case of overlap with user translations (e.g. judgements over
  9448 tuples); (note that the underlying logical represenation is still
  9449 bogus);
  9450 
  9451 
  9452 *** ZF ***
  9453 
  9454 * ZF: simplification automatically cancels common terms in arithmetic
  9455 expressions over nat and int;
  9456 
  9457 * ZF: new treatment of nat to minimize type-checking: all operators
  9458 coerce their operands to a natural number using the function natify,
  9459 making the algebraic laws unconditional;
  9460 
  9461 * ZF: as above, for int: operators coerce their operands to an integer
  9462 using the function intify;
  9463 
  9464 * ZF: the integer library now contains many of the usual laws for the
  9465 orderings, including $<=, and monotonicity laws for $+ and $*;
  9466 
  9467 * ZF: new example ZF/ex/NatSum to demonstrate integer arithmetic
  9468 simplification;
  9469 
  9470 * FOL and ZF: AddIffs now available, giving theorems of the form P<->Q
  9471 to the simplifier and classical reasoner simultaneously;
  9472 
  9473 
  9474 *** General ***
  9475 
  9476 * Provers: blast_tac now handles actual object-logic rules as
  9477 assumptions; note that auto_tac uses blast_tac internally as well;
  9478 
  9479 * Provers: new functions rulify/rulify_no_asm: thm -> thm for turning
  9480 outer -->/All/Ball into ==>/!!; qed_spec_mp now uses rulify_no_asm;
  9481 
  9482 * Provers: delrules now handles destruct rules as well (no longer need
  9483 explicit make_elim);
  9484 
  9485 * Provers: Blast_tac now warns of and ignores "weak elimination rules" e.g.
  9486   [| inj ?f;          ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
  9487 use instead the strong form,
  9488   [| inj ?f; ~ ?W ==> ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
  9489 in HOL, FOL and ZF the function cla_make_elim will create such rules
  9490 from destruct-rules;
  9491 
  9492 * Provers: Simplifier.easy_setup provides a fast path to basic
  9493 Simplifier setup for new object-logics;
  9494 
  9495 * Pure: AST translation rules no longer require constant head on LHS;
  9496 
  9497 * Pure: improved name spaces: ambiguous output is qualified; support
  9498 for hiding of names;
  9499 
  9500 * system: smart setup of canonical ML_HOME, ISABELLE_INTERFACE, and
  9501 XSYMBOL_HOME; no longer need to do manual configuration in most
  9502 situations;
  9503 
  9504 * system: compression of ML heaps images may now be controlled via -c
  9505 option of isabelle and isatool usedir (currently only observed by
  9506 Poly/ML);
  9507 
  9508 * system: isatool installfonts may handle X-Symbol fonts as well (very
  9509 useful for remote X11);
  9510 
  9511 * system: provide TAGS file for Isabelle sources;
  9512 
  9513 * ML: infix 'OF' is a version of 'MRS' with more appropriate argument
  9514 order;
  9515 
  9516 * ML: renamed flags Syntax.trace_norm_ast to Syntax.trace_ast; global
  9517 timing flag supersedes proof_timing and Toplevel.trace;
  9518 
  9519 * ML: new combinators |>> and |>>> for incremental transformations
  9520 with secondary results (e.g. certain theory extensions):
  9521 
  9522 * ML: PureThy.add_defs gets additional argument to indicate potential
  9523 overloading (usually false);
  9524 
  9525 * ML: PureThy.add_thms/add_axioms/add_defs now return theorems as
  9526 results;
  9527 
  9528 
  9529 
  9530 New in Isabelle99 (October 1999)
  9531 --------------------------------
  9532 
  9533 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  9534 
  9535 * HOL: The THEN and ELSE parts of conditional expressions (if P then x else y)
  9536 are no longer simplified.  (This allows the simplifier to unfold recursive
  9537 functional programs.)  To restore the old behaviour, declare
  9538 
  9539     Delcongs [if_weak_cong];
  9540 
  9541 * HOL: Removed the obsolete syntax "Compl A"; use -A for set
  9542 complement;
  9543 
  9544 * HOL: the predicate "inj" is now defined by translation to "inj_on";
  9545 
  9546 * HOL/datatype: mutual_induct_tac no longer exists --
  9547   use induct_tac "x_1 ... x_n" instead of mutual_induct_tac ["x_1", ..., "x_n"]
  9548 
  9549 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
  9550 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
  9551 
  9552 * ZF: The con_defs part of an inductive definition may no longer refer
  9553 to constants declared in the same theory;
  9554 
  9555 * HOL, ZF: the function mk_cases, generated by the inductive
  9556 definition package, has lost an argument.  To simplify its result, it
  9557 uses the default simpset instead of a supplied list of theorems.
  9558 
  9559 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
  9560 
  9561 * Simplifier: the type of the infix ML functions
  9562         setSSolver addSSolver setSolver addSolver
  9563 is now  simpset * solver -> simpset  where `solver' is a new abstract type
  9564 for packaging solvers. A solver is created via
  9565         mk_solver: string -> (thm list -> int -> tactic) -> solver
  9566 where the string argument is only a comment.
  9567 
  9568 
  9569 *** Proof tools ***
  9570 
  9571 * Provers/Arith/fast_lin_arith.ML contains a functor for creating a
  9572 decision procedure for linear arithmetic. Currently it is used for
  9573 types `nat', `int', and `real' in HOL (see below); it can, should and
  9574 will be instantiated for other types and logics as well.
  9575 
  9576 * The simplifier now accepts rewrite rules with flexible heads, eg
  9577      hom ?f ==> ?f(?x+?y) = ?f ?x + ?f ?y
  9578   They are applied like any rule with a non-pattern lhs, i.e. by first-order
  9579   matching.
  9580 
  9581 
  9582 *** General ***
  9583 
  9584 * New Isabelle/Isar subsystem provides an alternative to traditional
  9585 tactical theorem proving; together with the ProofGeneral/isar user
  9586 interface it offers an interactive environment for developing human
  9587 readable proof documents (Isar == Intelligible semi-automated
  9588 reasoning); for further information see isatool doc isar-ref,
  9589 src/HOL/Isar_examples and http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Isar/
  9590 
  9591 * improved and simplified presentation of theories: better HTML markup
  9592 (including colors), graph views in several sizes; isatool usedir now
  9593 provides a proper interface for user theories (via -P option); actual
  9594 document preparation based on (PDF)LaTeX is available as well (for
  9595 new-style theories only); see isatool doc system for more information;
  9596 
  9597 * native support for Proof General, both for classic Isabelle and
  9598 Isabelle/Isar;
  9599 
  9600 * ML function thm_deps visualizes dependencies of theorems and lemmas,
  9601 using the graph browser tool;
  9602 
  9603 * Isabelle manuals now also available as PDF;
  9604 
  9605 * theory loader rewritten from scratch (may not be fully
  9606 bug-compatible); old loadpath variable has been replaced by show_path,
  9607 add_path, del_path, reset_path functions; new operations such as
  9608 update_thy, touch_thy, remove_thy, use/update_thy_only (see also
  9609 isatool doc ref);
  9610 
  9611 * improved isatool install: option -k creates KDE application icon,
  9612 option -p DIR installs standalone binaries;
  9613 
  9614 * added ML_PLATFORM setting (useful for cross-platform installations);
  9615 more robust handling of platform specific ML images for SML/NJ;
  9616 
  9617 * the settings environment is now statically scoped, i.e. it is never
  9618 created again in sub-processes invoked from isabelle, isatool, or
  9619 Isabelle;
  9620 
  9621 * path element specification '~~' refers to '$ISABELLE_HOME';
  9622 
  9623 * in locales, the "assumes" and "defines" parts may be omitted if
  9624 empty;
  9625 
  9626 * new print_mode "xsymbols" for extended symbol support (e.g. genuine
  9627 long arrows);
  9628 
  9629 * new print_mode "HTML";
  9630 
  9631 * new flag show_tags controls display of tags of theorems (which are
  9632 basically just comments that may be attached by some tools);
  9633 
  9634 * Isamode 2.6 requires patch to accomodate change of Isabelle font
  9635 mode and goal output format:
  9636 
  9637 diff -r Isamode-2.6/elisp/isa-load.el Isamode/elisp/isa-load.el
  9638 244c244
  9639 <       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-msymbols" logic-name)
  9640 ---
  9641 >       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-misabelle_font" "-msymbols" logic-name)
  9642 diff -r Isabelle-2.6/elisp/isa-proofstate.el Isamode/elisp/isa-proofstate.el
  9643 181c181
  9644 < (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+$"
  9645 ---
  9646 > (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+"
  9647 
  9648 * function bind_thms stores lists of theorems (cf. bind_thm);
  9649 
  9650 * new shorthand tactics ftac, eatac, datac, fatac;
  9651 
  9652 * qed (and friends) now accept "" as result name; in that case the
  9653 theorem is not stored, but proper checks and presentation of the
  9654 result still apply;
  9655 
  9656 * theorem database now also indexes constants "Trueprop", "all",
  9657 "==>", "=="; thus thms_containing, findI etc. may retrieve more rules;
  9658 
  9659 
  9660 *** HOL ***
  9661 
  9662 ** HOL arithmetic **
  9663 
  9664 * There are now decision procedures for linear arithmetic over nat and
  9665 int:
  9666 
  9667 1. arith_tac copes with arbitrary formulae involving `=', `<', `<=',
  9668 `+', `-', `Suc', `min', `max' and numerical constants; other subterms
  9669 are treated as atomic; subformulae not involving type `nat' or `int'
  9670 are ignored; quantified subformulae are ignored unless they are
  9671 positive universal or negative existential. The tactic has to be
  9672 invoked by hand and can be a little bit slow. In particular, the
  9673 running time is exponential in the number of occurrences of `min' and
  9674 `max', and `-' on `nat'.
  9675 
  9676 2. fast_arith_tac is a cut-down version of arith_tac: it only takes
  9677 (negated) (in)equalities among the premises and the conclusion into
  9678 account (i.e. no compound formulae) and does not know about `min' and
  9679 `max', and `-' on `nat'. It is fast and is used automatically by the
  9680 simplifier.
  9681 
  9682 NB: At the moment, these decision procedures do not cope with mixed
  9683 nat/int formulae where the two parts interact, such as `m < n ==>
  9684 int(m) < int(n)'.
  9685 
  9686 * HOL/Numeral provides a generic theory of numerals (encoded
  9687 efficiently as bit strings); setup for types nat/int/real is in place;
  9688 INCOMPATIBILITY: since numeral syntax is now polymorphic, rather than
  9689 int, existing theories and proof scripts may require a few additional
  9690 type constraints;
  9691 
  9692 * integer division and remainder can now be performed on constant
  9693 arguments;
  9694 
  9695 * many properties of integer multiplication, division and remainder
  9696 are now available;
  9697 
  9698 * An interface to the Stanford Validity Checker (SVC) is available through the
  9699 tactic svc_tac.  Propositional tautologies and theorems of linear arithmetic
  9700 are proved automatically.  SVC must be installed separately, and its results
  9701 must be TAKEN ON TRUST (Isabelle does not check the proofs, but tags any
  9702 invocation of the underlying oracle).  For SVC see
  9703   http://verify.stanford.edu/SVC
  9704 
  9705 * IsaMakefile: the HOL-Real target now builds an actual image;
  9706 
  9707 
  9708 ** HOL misc **
  9709 
  9710 * HOL/Real/HahnBanach: the Hahn-Banach theorem for real vector spaces
  9711 (in Isabelle/Isar) -- by Gertrud Bauer;
  9712 
  9713 * HOL/BCV: generic model of bytecode verification, i.e. data-flow
  9714 analysis for assembly languages with subtypes;
  9715 
  9716 * HOL/TLA (Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions): major reorganization
  9717 -- avoids syntactic ambiguities and treats state, transition, and
  9718 temporal levels more uniformly; introduces INCOMPATIBILITIES due to
  9719 changed syntax and (many) tactics;
  9720 
  9721 * HOL/inductive: Now also handles more general introduction rules such
  9722   as "ALL y. (y, x) : r --> y : acc r ==> x : acc r"; monotonicity
  9723   theorems are now maintained within the theory (maintained via the
  9724   "mono" attribute);
  9725 
  9726 * HOL/datatype: Now also handles arbitrarily branching datatypes
  9727   (using function types) such as
  9728 
  9729   datatype 'a tree = Atom 'a | Branch "nat => 'a tree"
  9730 
  9731 * HOL/record: record_simproc (part of the default simpset) takes care
  9732 of selectors applied to updated records; record_split_tac is no longer
  9733 part of the default claset; update_defs may now be removed from the
  9734 simpset in many cases; COMPATIBILITY: old behavior achieved by
  9735 
  9736   claset_ref () := claset() addSWrapper record_split_wrapper;
  9737   Delsimprocs [record_simproc]
  9738 
  9739 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
  9740 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
  9741 
  9742 * HOL/recdef (TFL): 'congs' syntax now expects comma separated list of theorem
  9743 names rather than an ML expression;
  9744 
  9745 * HOL/defer_recdef (TFL): like recdef but the well-founded relation can be
  9746 supplied later.  Program schemes can be defined, such as
  9747     "While B C s = (if B s then While B C (C s) else s)"
  9748 where the well-founded relation can be chosen after B and C have been given.
  9749 
  9750 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
  9751 INCOMPATIBILITY: while [] and infix # syntax is still there, of
  9752 course, ML tools referring to List.list.op # etc. have to be adapted;
  9753 
  9754 * HOL_quantifiers flag superseded by "HOL" print mode, which is
  9755 disabled by default; run isabelle with option -m HOL to get back to
  9756 the original Gordon/HOL-style output;
  9757 
  9758 * HOL/Ord.thy: new bounded quantifier syntax (input only): ALL x<y. P,
  9759 ALL x<=y. P, EX x<y. P, EX x<=y. P;
  9760 
  9761 * HOL basic syntax simplified (more orthogonal): all variants of
  9762 All/Ex now support plain / symbolic / HOL notation; plain syntax for
  9763 Eps operator is provided as well: "SOME x. P[x]";
  9764 
  9765 * HOL/Sum.thy: sum_case has been moved to HOL/Datatype;
  9766 
  9767 * HOL/Univ.thy: infix syntax <*>, <+>, <**>, <+> eliminated and made
  9768 thus available for user theories;
  9769 
  9770 * HOLCF/IOA/Sequents: renamed 'Cons' to 'Consq' to avoid clash with
  9771 HOL/List; hardly an INCOMPATIBILITY since '>>' syntax is used all the
  9772 time;
  9773 
  9774 * HOL: new tactic smp_tac: int -> int -> tactic, which applies spec
  9775 several times and then mp;
  9776 
  9777 
  9778 *** LK ***
  9779 
  9780 * the notation <<...>> is now available as a notation for sequences of
  9781 formulas;
  9782 
  9783 * the simplifier is now installed
  9784 
  9785 * the axiom system has been generalized (thanks to Soren Heilmann)
  9786 
  9787 * the classical reasoner now has a default rule database
  9788 
  9789 
  9790 *** ZF ***
  9791 
  9792 * new primrec section allows primitive recursive functions to be given
  9793 directly (as in HOL) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
  9794 
  9795 * new tactics induct_tac and exhaust_tac for induction (or case
  9796 analysis) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
  9797 
  9798 * the datatype declaration of type T now defines the recursor T_rec;
  9799 
  9800 * simplification automatically does freeness reasoning for datatype
  9801 constructors;
  9802 
  9803 * automatic type-inference, with AddTCs command to insert new
  9804 type-checking rules;
  9805 
  9806 * datatype introduction rules are now added as Safe Introduction rules
  9807 to the claset;
  9808 
  9809 * the syntax "if P then x else y" is now available in addition to
  9810 if(P,x,y);
  9811 
  9812 
  9813 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
  9814 
  9815 * tuned simplifier trace output; new flag debug_simp;
  9816 
  9817 * structures Vartab / Termtab (instances of TableFun) offer efficient
  9818 tables indexed by indexname_ord / term_ord (compatible with aconv);
  9819 
  9820 * AxClass.axclass_tac lost the theory argument;
  9821 
  9822 * tuned current_goals_markers semantics: begin / end goal avoids
  9823 printing empty lines;
  9824 
  9825 * removed prs and prs_fn hook, which was broken because it did not
  9826 include \n in its semantics, forcing writeln to add one
  9827 uncoditionally; replaced prs_fn by writeln_fn; consider std_output:
  9828 string -> unit if you really want to output text without newline;
  9829 
  9830 * Symbol.output subject to print mode; INCOMPATIBILITY: defaults to
  9831 plain output, interface builders may have to enable 'isabelle_font'
  9832 mode to get Isabelle font glyphs as before;
  9833 
  9834 * refined token_translation interface; INCOMPATIBILITY: output length
  9835 now of type real instead of int;
  9836 
  9837 * theory loader actions may be traced via new ThyInfo.add_hook
  9838 interface (see src/Pure/Thy/thy_info.ML); example application: keep
  9839 your own database of information attached to *whole* theories -- as
  9840 opposed to intra-theory data slots offered via TheoryDataFun;
  9841 
  9842 * proper handling of dangling sort hypotheses (at last!);
  9843 Thm.strip_shyps and Drule.strip_shyps_warning take care of removing
  9844 extra sort hypotheses that can be witnessed from the type signature;
  9845 the force_strip_shyps flag is gone, any remaining shyps are simply
  9846 left in the theorem (with a warning issued by strip_shyps_warning);
  9847 
  9848 
  9849 
  9850 New in Isabelle98-1 (October 1998)
  9851 ----------------------------------
  9852 
  9853 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  9854 
  9855 * several changes of automated proof tools;
  9856 
  9857 * HOL: major changes to the inductive and datatype packages, including
  9858 some minor incompatibilities of theory syntax;
  9859 
  9860 * HOL: renamed r^-1 to 'converse' from 'inverse'; 'inj_onto' is now
  9861 called `inj_on';
  9862 
  9863 * HOL: removed duplicate thms in Arith:
  9864   less_imp_add_less  should be replaced by  trans_less_add1
  9865   le_imp_add_le      should be replaced by  trans_le_add1
  9866 
  9867 * HOL: unary minus is now overloaded (new type constraints may be
  9868 required);
  9869 
  9870 * HOL and ZF: unary minus for integers is now #- instead of #~.  In
  9871 ZF, expressions such as n#-1 must be changed to n#- 1, since #-1 is
  9872 now taken as an integer constant.
  9873 
  9874 * Pure: ML function 'theory_of' renamed to 'theory';
  9875 
  9876 
  9877 *** Proof tools ***
  9878 
  9879 * Simplifier:
  9880   1. Asm_full_simp_tac is now more aggressive.
  9881      1. It will sometimes reorient premises if that increases their power to
  9882         simplify.
  9883      2. It does no longer proceed strictly from left to right but may also
  9884         rotate premises to achieve further simplification.
  9885      For compatibility reasons there is now Asm_lr_simp_tac which is like the
  9886      old Asm_full_simp_tac in that it does not rotate premises.
  9887   2. The simplifier now knows a little bit about nat-arithmetic.
  9888 
  9889 * Classical reasoner: wrapper mechanism for the classical reasoner now
  9890 allows for selected deletion of wrappers, by introduction of names for
  9891 wrapper functionals.  This implies that addbefore, addSbefore,
  9892 addaltern, and addSaltern now take a pair (name, tactic) as argument,
  9893 and that adding two tactics with the same name overwrites the first
  9894 one (emitting a warning).
  9895   type wrapper = (int -> tactic) -> (int -> tactic)
  9896   setWrapper, setSWrapper, compWrapper and compSWrapper are replaced by
  9897   addWrapper, addSWrapper: claset * (string * wrapper) -> claset
  9898   delWrapper, delSWrapper: claset *  string            -> claset
  9899   getWrapper is renamed to appWrappers, getSWrapper to appSWrappers;
  9900 
  9901 * Classical reasoner: addbefore/addSbefore now have APPEND/ORELSE
  9902 semantics; addbefore now affects only the unsafe part of step_tac
  9903 etc.; this affects addss/auto_tac/force_tac, so EXISTING PROOFS MAY
  9904 FAIL, but proofs should be fixable easily, e.g. by replacing Auto_tac
  9905 by Force_tac;
  9906 
  9907 * Classical reasoner: setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to
  9908 compWrapper; added safe wrapper (and access functions for it);
  9909 
  9910 * HOL/split_all_tac is now much faster and fails if there is nothing
  9911 to split.  Some EXISTING PROOFS MAY REQUIRE ADAPTION because the order
  9912 and the names of the automatically generated variables have changed.
  9913 split_all_tac has moved within claset() from unsafe wrappers to safe
  9914 wrappers, which means that !!-bound variables are split much more
  9915 aggressively, and safe_tac and clarify_tac now split such variables.
  9916 If this splitting is not appropriate, use delSWrapper "split_all_tac".
  9917 Note: the same holds for record_split_tac, which does the job of
  9918 split_all_tac for record fields.
  9919 
  9920 * HOL/Simplifier: Rewrite rules for case distinctions can now be added
  9921 permanently to the default simpset using Addsplits just like
  9922 Addsimps. They can be removed via Delsplits just like
  9923 Delsimps. Lower-case versions are also available.
  9924 
  9925 * HOL/Simplifier: The rule split_if is now part of the default
  9926 simpset. This means that the simplifier will eliminate all occurrences
  9927 of if-then-else in the conclusion of a goal. To prevent this, you can
  9928 either remove split_if completely from the default simpset by
  9929 `Delsplits [split_if]' or remove it in a specific call of the
  9930 simplifier using `... delsplits [split_if]'.  You can also add/delete
  9931 other case splitting rules to/from the default simpset: every datatype
  9932 generates suitable rules `split_t_case' and `split_t_case_asm' (where
  9933 t is the name of the datatype).
  9934 
  9935 * Classical reasoner / Simplifier combination: new force_tac (and
  9936 derivatives Force_tac, force) combines rewriting and classical
  9937 reasoning (and whatever other tools) similarly to auto_tac, but is
  9938 aimed to solve the given subgoal completely.
  9939 
  9940 
  9941 *** General ***
  9942 
  9943 * new top-level commands `Goal' and `Goalw' that improve upon `goal'
  9944 and `goalw': the theory is no longer needed as an explicit argument -
  9945 the current theory context is used; assumptions are no longer returned
  9946 at the ML-level unless one of them starts with ==> or !!; it is
  9947 recommended to convert to these new commands using isatool fixgoal
  9948 (backup your sources first!);
  9949 
  9950 * new top-level commands 'thm' and 'thms' for retrieving theorems from
  9951 the current theory context, and 'theory' to lookup stored theories;
  9952 
  9953 * new theory section 'locale' for declaring constants, assumptions and
  9954 definitions that have local scope;
  9955 
  9956 * new theory section 'nonterminals' for purely syntactic types;
  9957 
  9958 * new theory section 'setup' for generic ML setup functions
  9959 (e.g. package initialization);
  9960 
  9961 * the distribution now includes Isabelle icons: see
  9962 lib/logo/isabelle-{small,tiny}.xpm;
  9963 
  9964 * isatool install - install binaries with absolute references to
  9965 ISABELLE_HOME/bin;
  9966 
  9967 * isatool logo -- create instances of the Isabelle logo (as EPS);
  9968 
  9969 * print mode 'emacs' reserved for Isamode;
  9970 
  9971 * support multiple print (ast) translations per constant name;
  9972 
  9973 * theorems involving oracles are now printed with a suffixed [!];
  9974 
  9975 
  9976 *** HOL ***
  9977 
  9978 * there is now a tutorial on Isabelle/HOL (do 'isatool doc tutorial');
  9979 
  9980 * HOL/inductive package reorganized and improved: now supports mutual
  9981 definitions such as
  9982 
  9983   inductive EVEN ODD
  9984     intrs
  9985       null "0 : EVEN"
  9986       oddI "n : EVEN ==> Suc n : ODD"
  9987       evenI "n : ODD ==> Suc n : EVEN"
  9988 
  9989 new theorem list "elims" contains an elimination rule for each of the
  9990 recursive sets; inductive definitions now handle disjunctive premises
  9991 correctly (also ZF);
  9992 
  9993 INCOMPATIBILITIES: requires Inductive as an ancestor; component
  9994 "mutual_induct" no longer exists - the induction rule is always
  9995 contained in "induct";
  9996 
  9997 
  9998 * HOL/datatype package re-implemented and greatly improved: now
  9999 supports mutually recursive datatypes such as
 10000 
 10001   datatype
 10002     'a aexp = IF_THEN_ELSE ('a bexp) ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 10003             | SUM ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 10004             | DIFF ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 10005             | NUM 'a
 10006   and
 10007     'a bexp = LESS ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 10008             | AND ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
 10009             | OR ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
 10010 
 10011 as well as indirectly recursive datatypes such as
 10012 
 10013   datatype
 10014     ('a, 'b) term = Var 'a
 10015                   | App 'b ((('a, 'b) term) list)
 10016 
 10017 The new tactic  mutual_induct_tac [<var_1>, ..., <var_n>] i  performs
 10018 induction on mutually / indirectly recursive datatypes.
 10019 
 10020 Primrec equations are now stored in theory and can be accessed via
 10021 <function_name>.simps.
 10022 
 10023 INCOMPATIBILITIES:
 10024 
 10025   - Theories using datatypes must now have theory Datatype as an
 10026     ancestor.
 10027   - The specific <typename>.induct_tac no longer exists - use the
 10028     generic induct_tac instead.
 10029   - natE has been renamed to nat.exhaust - use exhaust_tac
 10030     instead of res_inst_tac ... natE. Note that the variable
 10031     names in nat.exhaust differ from the names in natE, this
 10032     may cause some "fragile" proofs to fail.
 10033   - The theorems split_<typename>_case and split_<typename>_case_asm
 10034     have been renamed to <typename>.split and <typename>.split_asm.
 10035   - Since default sorts of type variables are now handled correctly,
 10036     some datatype definitions may have to be annotated with explicit
 10037     sort constraints.
 10038   - Primrec definitions no longer require function name and type
 10039     of recursive argument.
 10040 
 10041 Consider using isatool fixdatatype to adapt your theories and proof
 10042 scripts to the new package (backup your sources first!).
 10043 
 10044 
 10045 * HOL/record package: considerably improved implementation; now
 10046 includes concrete syntax for record types, terms, updates; theorems
 10047 for surjective pairing and splitting !!-bound record variables; proof
 10048 support is as follows:
 10049 
 10050   1) standard conversions (selectors or updates applied to record
 10051 constructor terms) are part of the standard simpset;
 10052 
 10053   2) inject equations of the form ((x, y) = (x', y')) == x=x' & y=y' are
 10054 made part of standard simpset and claset via addIffs;
 10055 
 10056   3) a tactic for record field splitting (record_split_tac) is part of
 10057 the standard claset (addSWrapper);
 10058 
 10059 To get a better idea about these rules you may retrieve them via
 10060 something like 'thms "foo.simps"' or 'thms "foo.iffs"', where "foo" is
 10061 the name of your record type.
 10062 
 10063 The split tactic 3) conceptually simplifies by the following rule:
 10064 
 10065   "(!!x. PROP ?P x) == (!!a b. PROP ?P (a, b))"
 10066 
 10067 Thus any record variable that is bound by meta-all will automatically
 10068 blow up into some record constructor term, consequently the
 10069 simplifications of 1), 2) apply.  Thus force_tac, auto_tac etc. shall
 10070 solve record problems automatically.
 10071 
 10072 
 10073 * reorganized the main HOL image: HOL/Integ and String loaded by
 10074 default; theory Main includes everything;
 10075 
 10076 * automatic simplification of integer sums and comparisons, using cancellation;
 10077 
 10078 * added option_map_eq_Some and not_Some_eq to the default simpset and claset;
 10079 
 10080 * added disj_not1 = "(~P | Q) = (P --> Q)" to the default simpset;
 10081 
 10082 * many new identities for unions, intersections, set difference, etc.;
 10083 
 10084 * expand_if, expand_split, expand_sum_case and expand_nat_case are now
 10085 called split_if, split_split, split_sum_case and split_nat_case (to go
 10086 with add/delsplits);
 10087 
 10088 * HOL/Prod introduces simplification procedure unit_eq_proc rewriting
 10089 (?x::unit) = (); this is made part of the default simpset, which COULD
 10090 MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL under rare circumstances (consider
 10091 'Delsimprocs [unit_eq_proc];' as last resort); also note that
 10092 unit_abs_eta_conv is added in order to counter the effect of
 10093 unit_eq_proc on (%u::unit. f u), replacing it by f rather than by
 10094 %u.f();
 10095 
 10096 * HOL/Fun INCOMPATIBILITY: `inj_onto' is now called `inj_on' (which
 10097 makes more sense);
 10098 
 10099 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 10100   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 10101   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 10102 
 10103 * HOL/Relation INCOMPATIBILITY: renamed the relational operator r^-1
 10104 to 'converse' from 'inverse' (for compatibility with ZF and some
 10105 literature);
 10106 
 10107 * HOL/recdef can now declare non-recursive functions, with {} supplied as
 10108 the well-founded relation;
 10109 
 10110 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: the complement of set A is now written -A instead of
 10111     Compl A.  The "Compl" syntax remains available as input syntax for this
 10112     release ONLY.
 10113 
 10114 * HOL/Update: new theory of function updates:
 10115     f(a:=b) == %x. if x=a then b else f x
 10116 may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 10117 
 10118 * HOL/Vimage: new theory for inverse image of a function, syntax f-``B;
 10119 
 10120 * HOL/List:
 10121   - new function list_update written xs[i:=v] that updates the i-th
 10122     list position. May also be iterated as in xs[i:=a,j:=b,...].
 10123   - new function `upt' written [i..j(] which generates the list
 10124     [i,i+1,...,j-1], i.e. the upper bound is excluded. To include the upper
 10125     bound write [i..j], which is a shorthand for [i..j+1(].
 10126   - new lexicographic orderings and corresponding wellfoundedness theorems.
 10127 
 10128 * HOL/Arith:
 10129   - removed 'pred' (predecessor) function;
 10130   - generalized some theorems about n-1;
 10131   - many new laws about "div" and "mod";
 10132   - new laws about greatest common divisors (see theory ex/Primes);
 10133 
 10134 * HOL/Relation: renamed the relational operator r^-1 "converse"
 10135 instead of "inverse";
 10136 
 10137 * HOL/Induct/Multiset: a theory of multisets, including the wellfoundedness
 10138   of the multiset ordering;
 10139 
 10140 * directory HOL/Real: a construction of the reals using Dedekind cuts
 10141   (not included by default);
 10142 
 10143 * directory HOL/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY formalism;
 10144 
 10145 * directory HOL/Hoare: a new version of Hoare logic which permits many-sorted
 10146   programs, i.e. different program variables may have different types.
 10147 
 10148 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 10149   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 10150   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 10151 
 10152 
 10153 *** ZF ***
 10154 
 10155 * theory Main includes everything; INCOMPATIBILITY: theory ZF.thy contains
 10156   only the theorems proved on ZF.ML;
 10157 
 10158 * ZF INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 10159   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 10160   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 10161 
 10162 * ZF/Update: new theory of function updates
 10163     with default rewrite rule  f(x:=y) ` z = if(z=x, y, f`z)
 10164   may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 10165 
 10166 * in  let x=t in u(x), neither t nor u(x) has to be an FOL term.
 10167 
 10168 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 10169   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 10170   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 10171 
 10172 * case_tac provided for compatibility with HOL
 10173     (like the old excluded_middle_tac, but with subgoals swapped)
 10174 
 10175 
 10176 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
 10177 
 10178 * Pure: several new basic modules made available for general use, see
 10179 also src/Pure/README;
 10180 
 10181 * improved the theory data mechanism to support encapsulation (data
 10182 kind name replaced by private Object.kind, acting as authorization
 10183 key); new type-safe user interface via functor TheoryDataFun; generic
 10184 print_data function becomes basically useless;
 10185 
 10186 * removed global_names compatibility flag -- all theory declarations
 10187 are qualified by default;
 10188 
 10189 * module Pure/Syntax now offers quote / antiquote translation
 10190 functions (useful for Hoare logic etc. with implicit dependencies);
 10191 see HOL/ex/Antiquote for an example use;
 10192 
 10193 * Simplifier now offers conversions (asm_)(full_)rewrite: simpset ->
 10194 cterm -> thm;
 10195 
 10196 * new tactical CHANGED_GOAL for checking that a tactic modifies a
 10197 subgoal;
 10198 
 10199 * Display.print_goals function moved to Locale.print_goals;
 10200 
 10201 * standard print function for goals supports current_goals_markers
 10202 variable for marking begin of proof, end of proof, start of goal; the
 10203 default is ("", "", ""); setting current_goals_markers := ("<proof>",
 10204 "</proof>", "<goal>") causes SGML like tagged proof state printing,
 10205 for example;
 10206 
 10207 
 10208 
 10209 New in Isabelle98 (January 1998)
 10210 --------------------------------
 10211 
 10212 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 10213 
 10214 * changed lexical syntax of terms / types: dots made part of long
 10215 identifiers, e.g. "%x.x" no longer possible, should be "%x. x";
 10216 
 10217 * simpset (and claset) reference variable replaced by functions
 10218 simpset / simpset_ref;
 10219 
 10220 * no longer supports theory aliases (via merge) and non-trivial
 10221 implicit merge of thms' signatures;
 10222 
 10223 * most internal names of constants changed due to qualified names;
 10224 
 10225 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML);
 10226 
 10227 
 10228 *** General Changes ***
 10229 
 10230 * hierachically structured name spaces (for consts, types, axms, thms
 10231 etc.); new lexical class 'longid' (e.g. Foo.bar.x) may render much of
 10232 old input syntactically incorrect (e.g. "%x.x"); COMPATIBILITY:
 10233 isatool fixdots ensures space after dots (e.g. "%x. x"); set
 10234 long_names for fully qualified output names; NOTE: ML programs
 10235 (special tactics, packages etc.) referring to internal names may have
 10236 to be adapted to cope with fully qualified names; in case of severe
 10237 backward campatibility problems try setting 'global_names' at compile
 10238 time to have enrything declared within a flat name space; one may also
 10239 fine tune name declarations in theories via the 'global' and 'local'
 10240 section;
 10241 
 10242 * reimplemented the implicit simpset and claset using the new anytype
 10243 data filed in signatures; references simpset:simpset ref etc. are
 10244 replaced by functions simpset:unit->simpset and
 10245 simpset_ref:unit->simpset ref; COMPATIBILITY: use isatool fixclasimp
 10246 to patch your ML files accordingly;
 10247 
 10248 * HTML output now includes theory graph data for display with Java
 10249 applet or isatool browser; data generated automatically via isatool
 10250 usedir (see -i option, ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS);
 10251 
 10252 * defs may now be conditional; improved rewrite_goals_tac to handle
 10253 conditional equations;
 10254 
 10255 * defs now admits additional type arguments, using TYPE('a) syntax;
 10256 
 10257 * theory aliases via merge (e.g. M=A+B+C) no longer supported, always
 10258 creates a new theory node; implicit merge of thms' signatures is
 10259 restricted to 'trivial' ones; COMPATIBILITY: one may have to use
 10260 transfer:theory->thm->thm in (rare) cases;
 10261 
 10262 * improved handling of draft signatures / theories; draft thms (and
 10263 ctyps, cterms) are automatically promoted to real ones;
 10264 
 10265 * slightly changed interfaces for oracles: admit many per theory, named
 10266 (e.g. oracle foo = mlfun), additional name argument for invoke_oracle;
 10267 
 10268 * print_goals: optional output of const types (set show_consts and
 10269 show_types);
 10270 
 10271 * improved output of warnings (###) and errors (***);
 10272 
 10273 * subgoal_tac displays a warning if the new subgoal has type variables;
 10274 
 10275 * removed old README and Makefiles;
 10276 
 10277 * replaced print_goals_ref hook by print_current_goals_fn and result_error_fn;
 10278 
 10279 * removed obsolete init_pps and init_database;
 10280 
 10281 * deleted the obsolete tactical STATE, which was declared by
 10282     fun STATE tacfun st = tacfun st st;
 10283 
 10284 * cd and use now support path variables, e.g. $ISABELLE_HOME, or ~
 10285 (which abbreviates $HOME);
 10286 
 10287 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML); COMPATIBILITY:
 10288 use isatool fixseq to adapt your ML programs (this works for fully
 10289 qualified references to the Sequence structure only!);
 10290 
 10291 * use_thy no longer requires writable current directory; it always
 10292 reloads .ML *and* .thy file, if either one is out of date;
 10293 
 10294 
 10295 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 10296 
 10297 * Clarify_tac, clarify_tac, clarify_step_tac, Clarify_step_tac: new
 10298 tactics that use classical reasoning to simplify a subgoal without
 10299 splitting it into several subgoals;
 10300 
 10301 * Safe_tac: like safe_tac but uses the default claset;
 10302 
 10303 
 10304 *** Simplifier ***
 10305 
 10306 * added simplification meta rules:
 10307     (asm_)(full_)simplify: simpset -> thm -> thm;
 10308 
 10309 * simplifier.ML no longer part of Pure -- has to be loaded by object
 10310 logics (again);
 10311 
 10312 * added prems argument to simplification procedures;
 10313 
 10314 * HOL, FOL, ZF: added infix function `addsplits':
 10315   instead of `<simpset> setloop (split_tac <thms>)'
 10316   you can simply write `<simpset> addsplits <thms>'
 10317 
 10318 
 10319 *** Syntax ***
 10320 
 10321 * TYPE('a) syntax for type reflection terms;
 10322 
 10323 * no longer handles consts with name "" -- declare as 'syntax' instead;
 10324 
 10325 * pretty printer: changed order of mixfix annotation preference (again!);
 10326 
 10327 * Pure: fixed idt/idts vs. pttrn/pttrns syntactic categories;
 10328 
 10329 
 10330 *** HOL ***
 10331 
 10332 * HOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 10333   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 10334 
 10335 * HOL/TLA: Stephan Merz's formalization of Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions;
 10336 
 10337 * HOL/Auth: new protocol proofs including some for the Internet
 10338   protocol TLS;
 10339 
 10340 * HOL/Map: new theory of `maps' a la VDM;
 10341 
 10342 * HOL/simplifier: simplification procedures nat_cancel_sums for
 10343 cancelling out common nat summands from =, <, <= (in)equalities, or
 10344 differences; simplification procedures nat_cancel_factor for
 10345 cancelling common factor from =, <, <= (in)equalities over natural
 10346 sums; nat_cancel contains both kinds of procedures, it is installed by
 10347 default in Arith.thy -- this COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL;
 10348 
 10349 * HOL/simplifier: terms of the form
 10350   `? x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x)'  (or t=x)
 10351   are rewritten to
 10352   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t)',
 10353   and those of the form
 10354   `! x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x) --> R(x)'  (or t=x)
 10355   are rewritten to
 10356   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t) --> R(t)',
 10357 
 10358 * HOL/datatype
 10359   Each datatype `t' now comes with a theorem `split_t_case' of the form
 10360 
 10361   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 10362      ( (!y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 --> P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) &
 10363         ...
 10364        (!y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn --> P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 10365      )
 10366 
 10367   and a theorem `split_t_case_asm' of the form
 10368 
 10369   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 10370     ~( (? y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 & ~P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) |
 10371         ...
 10372        (? y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn & ~P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 10373      )
 10374   which can be added to a simpset via `addsplits'. The existing theorems
 10375   expand_list_case and expand_option_case have been renamed to
 10376   split_list_case and split_option_case.
 10377 
 10378 * HOL/Arithmetic:
 10379   - `pred n' is automatically converted to `n-1'.
 10380     Users are strongly encouraged not to use `pred' any longer,
 10381     because it will disappear altogether at some point.
 10382   - Users are strongly encouraged to write "0 < n" rather than
 10383     "n ~= 0". Theorems and proof tools have been modified towards this
 10384     `standard'.
 10385 
 10386 * HOL/Lists:
 10387   the function "set_of_list" has been renamed "set" (and its theorems too);
 10388   the function "nth" now takes its arguments in the reverse order and
 10389   has acquired the infix notation "!" as in "xs!n".
 10390 
 10391 * HOL/Set: UNIV is now a constant and is no longer translated to Compl{};
 10392 
 10393 * HOL/Set: The operator (UN x.B x) now abbreviates (UN x:UNIV. B x) and its
 10394   specialist theorems (like UN1_I) are gone.  Similarly for (INT x.B x);
 10395 
 10396 * HOL/record: extensible records with schematic structural subtyping
 10397 (single inheritance); EXPERIMENTAL version demonstrating the encoding,
 10398 still lacks various theorems and concrete record syntax;
 10399 
 10400 
 10401 *** HOLCF ***
 10402 
 10403 * removed "axioms" and "generated by" sections;
 10404 
 10405 * replaced "ops" section by extended "consts" section, which is capable of
 10406   handling the continuous function space "->" directly;
 10407 
 10408 * domain package:
 10409   . proves theorems immediately and stores them in the theory,
 10410   . creates hierachical name space,
 10411   . now uses normal mixfix annotations (instead of cinfix...),
 10412   . minor changes to some names and values (for consistency),
 10413   . e.g. cases -> casedist, dists_eq -> dist_eqs, [take_lemma] -> take_lemmas,
 10414   . separator between mutual domain defs: changed "," to "and",
 10415   . improved handling of sort constraints;  now they have to
 10416     appear on the left-hand side of the equations only;
 10417 
 10418 * fixed LAM <x,y,zs>.b syntax;
 10419 
 10420 * added extended adm_tac to simplifier in HOLCF -- can now discharge
 10421 adm (%x. P (t x)), where P is chainfinite and t continuous;
 10422 
 10423 
 10424 *** FOL and ZF ***
 10425 
 10426 * FOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 10427   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 10428 
 10429 * qed_spec_mp, qed_goal_spec_mp, qed_goalw_spec_mp are available, as
 10430 in HOL, they strip ALL and --> from proved theorems;
 10431 
 10432 
 10433 
 10434 New in Isabelle94-8 (May 1997)
 10435 ------------------------------
 10436 
 10437 *** General Changes ***
 10438 
 10439 * new utilities to build / run / maintain Isabelle etc. (in parts
 10440 still somewhat experimental); old Makefiles etc. still functional;
 10441 
 10442 * new 'Isabelle System Manual';
 10443 
 10444 * INSTALL text, together with ./configure and ./build scripts;
 10445 
 10446 * reimplemented type inference for greater efficiency, better error
 10447 messages and clean internal interface;
 10448 
 10449 * prlim command for dealing with lots of subgoals (an easier way of
 10450 setting goals_limit);
 10451 
 10452 
 10453 *** Syntax ***
 10454 
 10455 * supports alternative (named) syntax tables (parser and pretty
 10456 printer); internal interface is provided by add_modesyntax(_i);
 10457 
 10458 * Pure, FOL, ZF, HOL, HOLCF now support symbolic input and output; to
 10459 be used in conjunction with the Isabelle symbol font; uses the
 10460 "symbols" syntax table;
 10461 
 10462 * added token_translation interface (may translate name tokens in
 10463 arbitrary ways, dependent on their type (free, bound, tfree, ...) and
 10464 the current print_mode); IMPORTANT: user print translation functions
 10465 are responsible for marking newly introduced bounds
 10466 (Syntax.mark_boundT);
 10467 
 10468 * token translations for modes "xterm" and "xterm_color" that display
 10469 names in bold, underline etc. or colors (which requires a color
 10470 version of xterm);
 10471 
 10472 * infixes may now be declared with names independent of their syntax;
 10473 
 10474 * added typed_print_translation (like print_translation, but may
 10475 access type of constant);
 10476 
 10477 
 10478 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 10479 
 10480 Blast_tac: a new tactic!  It is often more powerful than fast_tac, but has
 10481 some limitations.  Blast_tac...
 10482   + ignores addss, addbefore, addafter; this restriction is intrinsic
 10483   + ignores elimination rules that don't have the correct format
 10484         (the conclusion MUST be a formula variable)
 10485   + ignores types, which can make HOL proofs fail
 10486   + rules must not require higher-order unification, e.g. apply_type in ZF
 10487     [message "Function Var's argument not a bound variable" relates to this]
 10488   + its proof strategy is more general but can actually be slower
 10489 
 10490 * substitution with equality assumptions no longer permutes other
 10491 assumptions;
 10492 
 10493 * minor changes in semantics of addafter (now called addaltern); renamed
 10494 setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to compWrapper; added safe wrapper
 10495 (and access functions for it);
 10496 
 10497 * improved combination of classical reasoner and simplifier:
 10498   + functions for handling clasimpsets
 10499   + improvement of addss: now the simplifier is called _after_ the
 10500     safe steps.
 10501   + safe variant of addss called addSss: uses safe simplifications
 10502     _during_ the safe steps. It is more complete as it allows multiple
 10503     instantiations of unknowns (e.g. with slow_tac).
 10504 
 10505 *** Simplifier ***
 10506 
 10507 * added interface for simplification procedures (functions that
 10508 produce *proven* rewrite rules on the fly, depending on current
 10509 redex);
 10510 
 10511 * ordering on terms as parameter (used for ordered rewriting);
 10512 
 10513 * new functions delcongs, deleqcongs, and Delcongs. richer rep_ss;
 10514 
 10515 * the solver is now split into a safe and an unsafe part.
 10516 This should be invisible for the normal user, except that the
 10517 functions setsolver and addsolver have been renamed to setSolver and
 10518 addSolver; added safe_asm_full_simp_tac;
 10519 
 10520 
 10521 *** HOL ***
 10522 
 10523 * a generic induction tactic `induct_tac' which works for all datatypes and
 10524 also for type `nat';
 10525 
 10526 * a generic case distinction tactic `exhaust_tac' which works for all
 10527 datatypes and also for type `nat';
 10528 
 10529 * each datatype comes with a function `size';
 10530 
 10531 * patterns in case expressions allow tuple patterns as arguments to
 10532 constructors, for example `case x of [] => ... | (x,y,z)#ps => ...';
 10533 
 10534 * primrec now also works with type nat;
 10535 
 10536 * recdef: a new declaration form, allows general recursive functions to be
 10537 defined in theory files.  See HOL/ex/Fib, HOL/ex/Primes, HOL/Subst/Unify.
 10538 
 10539 * the constant for negation has been renamed from "not" to "Not" to
 10540 harmonize with FOL, ZF, LK, etc.;
 10541 
 10542 * HOL/ex/LFilter theory of a corecursive "filter" functional for
 10543 infinite lists;
 10544 
 10545 * HOL/Modelcheck demonstrates invocation of model checker oracle;
 10546 
 10547 * HOL/ex/Ring.thy declares cring_simp, which solves equational
 10548 problems in commutative rings, using axiomatic type classes for + and *;
 10549 
 10550 * more examples in HOL/MiniML and HOL/Auth;
 10551 
 10552 * more default rewrite rules for quantifiers, union/intersection;
 10553 
 10554 * a new constant `arbitrary == @x.False';
 10555 
 10556 * HOLCF/IOA replaces old HOL/IOA;
 10557 
 10558 * HOLCF changes: derived all rules and arities
 10559   + axiomatic type classes instead of classes
 10560   + typedef instead of faking type definitions
 10561   + eliminated the internal constants less_fun, less_cfun, UU_fun, UU_cfun etc.
 10562   + new axclasses cpo, chfin, flat with flat < chfin < pcpo < cpo < po
 10563   + eliminated the types void, one, tr
 10564   + use unit lift and bool lift (with translations) instead of one and tr
 10565   + eliminated blift from Lift3.thy (use Def instead of blift)
 10566   all eliminated rules are derived as theorems --> no visible changes ;
 10567 
 10568 
 10569 *** ZF ***
 10570 
 10571 * ZF now has Fast_tac, Simp_tac and Auto_tac.  Union_iff is a now a default
 10572 rewrite rule; this may affect some proofs.  eq_cs is gone but can be put back
 10573 as ZF_cs addSIs [equalityI];
 10574 
 10575 
 10576 
 10577 New in Isabelle94-7 (November 96)
 10578 ---------------------------------
 10579 
 10580 * allowing negative levels (as offsets) in prlev and choplev;
 10581 
 10582 * super-linear speedup for large simplifications;
 10583 
 10584 * FOL, ZF and HOL now use miniscoping: rewriting pushes
 10585 quantifications in as far as possible (COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS
 10586 FAIL); can suppress it using the command Delsimps (ex_simps @
 10587 all_simps); De Morgan laws are also now included, by default;
 10588 
 10589 * improved printing of ==>  :  ~:
 10590 
 10591 * new object-logic "Sequents" adds linear logic, while replacing LK
 10592 and Modal (thanks to Sara Kalvala);
 10593 
 10594 * HOL/Auth: correctness proofs for authentication protocols;
 10595 
 10596 * HOL: new auto_tac combines rewriting and classical reasoning (many
 10597 examples on HOL/Auth);
 10598 
 10599 * HOL: new command AddIffs for declaring theorems of the form P=Q to
 10600 the rewriter and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 10601 
 10602 * function uresult no longer returns theorems in "standard" format;
 10603 regain previous version by: val uresult = standard o uresult;
 10604 
 10605 
 10606 
 10607 New in Isabelle94-6
 10608 -------------------
 10609 
 10610 * oracles -- these establish an interface between Isabelle and trusted
 10611 external reasoners, which may deliver results as theorems;
 10612 
 10613 * proof objects (in particular record all uses of oracles);
 10614 
 10615 * Simp_tac, Fast_tac, etc. that refer to implicit simpset / claset;
 10616 
 10617 * "constdefs" section in theory files;
 10618 
 10619 * "primrec" section (HOL) no longer requires names;
 10620 
 10621 * internal type "tactic" now simply "thm -> thm Sequence.seq";
 10622 
 10623 
 10624 
 10625 New in Isabelle94-5
 10626 -------------------
 10627 
 10628 * reduced space requirements;
 10629 
 10630 * automatic HTML generation from theories;
 10631 
 10632 * theory files no longer require "..." (quotes) around most types;
 10633 
 10634 * new examples, including two proofs of the Church-Rosser theorem;
 10635 
 10636 * non-curried (1994) version of HOL is no longer distributed;
 10637 
 10638 
 10639 
 10640 New in Isabelle94-4
 10641 -------------------
 10642 
 10643 * greatly reduced space requirements;
 10644 
 10645 * theory files (.thy) no longer require \...\ escapes at line breaks;
 10646 
 10647 * searchable theorem database (see the section "Retrieving theorems" on
 10648 page 8 of the Reference Manual);
 10649 
 10650 * new examples, including Grabczewski's monumental case study of the
 10651 Axiom of Choice;
 10652 
 10653 * The previous version of HOL renamed to Old_HOL;
 10654 
 10655 * The new version of HOL (previously called CHOL) uses a curried syntax
 10656 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b);
 10657 
 10658 * Mutually recursive inductive definitions finally work in HOL;
 10659 
 10660 * In ZF, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions and
 10661 translates to the operator "split";
 10662 
 10663 
 10664 
 10665 New in Isabelle94-3
 10666 -------------------
 10667 
 10668 * new infix operator, addss, allowing the classical reasoner to
 10669 perform simplification at each step of its search.  Example:
 10670         fast_tac (cs addss ss)
 10671 
 10672 * a new logic, CHOL, the same as HOL, but with a curried syntax
 10673 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b).  Also pairs
 10674 look like (a,b) instead of <a,b>;
 10675 
 10676 * PLEASE NOTE: CHOL will eventually replace HOL!
 10677 
 10678 * In CHOL, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions.
 10679 It translates to the operator "split".  A new theory of integers is available;
 10680 
 10681 * In ZF, integer numerals now denote two's-complement binary integers.
 10682 Arithmetic operations can be performed by rewriting.  See ZF/ex/Bin.ML;
 10683 
 10684 * Many new examples: I/O automata, Church-Rosser theorem, equivalents
 10685 of the Axiom of Choice;
 10686 
 10687 
 10688 
 10689 New in Isabelle94-2
 10690 -------------------
 10691 
 10692 * Significantly faster resolution;
 10693 
 10694 * the different sections in a .thy file can now be mixed and repeated
 10695 freely;
 10696 
 10697 * Database of theorems for FOL, HOL and ZF.  New
 10698 commands including qed, qed_goal and bind_thm store theorems in the database.
 10699 
 10700 * Simple database queries: return a named theorem (get_thm) or all theorems of
 10701 a given theory (thms_of), or find out what theory a theorem was proved in
 10702 (theory_of_thm);
 10703 
 10704 * Bugs fixed in the inductive definition and datatype packages;
 10705 
 10706 * The classical reasoner provides deepen_tac and depth_tac, making FOL_dup_cs
 10707 and HOL_dup_cs obsolete;
 10708 
 10709 * Syntactic ambiguities caused by the new treatment of syntax in Isabelle94-1
 10710 have been removed;
 10711 
 10712 * Simpler definition of function space in ZF;
 10713 
 10714 * new results about cardinal and ordinal arithmetic in ZF;
 10715 
 10716 * 'subtype' facility in HOL for introducing new types as subsets of existing
 10717 types;
