     1 Isabelle NEWS -- history user-relevant changes
     2 ==============================================
     3 
     4 New in this Isabelle version
     5 ----------------------------
     6 
     7 *** General ***
     8 
     9 * Command 'ML_file' evaluates ML text from a file directly within the
    10 theory, without any predeclaration via 'uses' in the theory header.
    11 
    12 * Discontinued obsolete method fastsimp / tactic fast_simp_tac, which
    13 is called fastforce / fast_force_tac already since Isabelle2011-1.
    14 
    15 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" manual, reduced remaining material
    16 in old "ref" manual.
    17 
    18 
    19 *** Pure ***
    20 
    21 * Code generation for Haskell: restrict unqualified imports from
    22 Haskell Prelude to a small set of fundamental operations.
    23 
    24 * Command "export_code": relative file names are interpreted
    25 relatively to master directory of current theory rather than
    26 the rather arbitrary current working directory.
    27 INCOMPATIBILITY.
    28 
    29 * Discontinued obsolete attribute "COMP".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
    30 use regular rule composition via "OF" / "THEN", or explicit proof
    31 structure instead.  Note that Isabelle/ML provides a variety of
    32 operators like COMP, INCR_COMP, COMP_INCR, which need to be applied
    33 with some care where this is really required.
    34 
    35 * Command 'typ' supports an additional variant with explicit sort
    36 constraint, to infer and check the most general type conforming to a
    37 given given sort.  Example (in HOL):
    38 
    39   typ "_ * _ * bool * unit" :: finite
    40 
    41 
    42 *** HOL ***
    43 
    44 * HOL/Codatatype: New (co)datatype package with support for mixed,
    45 nested recursion and interesting non-free datatypes.
    46 
    47 * HOL/Ordinals_and_Cardinals: Theories of ordinals and cardinals
    48 (supersedes the AFP entry of the same name).
    49 
    50 * Library/Debug.thy and Library/Parallel.thy: debugging and parallel
    51 execution for code generated towards Isabelle/ML.
    52 
    53 * Simproc "finite_Collect" rewrites set comprehensions into pointfree
    54 expressions.
    55 
    56 * Quickcheck:
    57 
    58   - added an optimisation for equality premises.
    59     It is switched on by default, and can be switched off by setting
    60     the configuration quickcheck_optimise_equality to false.
    61 
    62 * The SMT solver Z3 has now by default a restricted set of directly
    63 supported features. For the full set of features (div/mod, nonlinear
    64 arithmetic, datatypes/records) with potential proof reconstruction
    65 failures, enable the configuration option "z3_with_extensions".
    66 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    67 
    68 * Sledgehammer:
    69 
    70   - Added MaSh relevance filter based on machine-learning; see the
    71     Sledgehammer manual for details.
    72   - Rationalized type encodings ("type_enc" option).
    73   - Renamed options:
    74       max_relevant ~> max_facts
    75       relevance_thresholds ~> fact_thresholds
    76 
    77 
    78 *** Document preparation ***
    79 
    80 * Default for \<euro> is now based on eurosym package, instead of
    81 slightly exotic babel/greek.
    82 
    83 * Document variant NAME may use different LaTeX entry point
    84 document/root_NAME.tex if that file exists, instead of the common
    85 document/root.tex.
    86 
    87 * Simplified custom document/build script, instead of old-style
    88 document/IsaMakefile.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    89 
    90 
    91 *** ML ***
    92 
    93 * Renamed Position.str_of to Position.here to emphasize that this is a
    94 formal device to inline positions into message text, but not
    95 necessarily printing visible text.
    96 
    97 
    98 *** System ***
    99 
   100 * The ML system is configured as regular component, and no longer
   101 picked up from some surrounding directory.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
   102 for home-made configurations.
   103 
   104 * The "isabelle logo" tool allows to specify EPS or PDF format; the
   105 latter is preferred now.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   106 
   107 * Advanced support for Isabelle sessions and build management, see
   108 "system" manual for the chapter of that name, especially the "isabelle
   109 build" tool and its examples.  INCOMPATIBILITY, isabelle usedir /
   110 mkdir / make are rendered obsolete.
   111 
   112 * Discontinued obsolete "isabelle makeall".
   113 
   114 * Discontinued obsolete IsaMakefile and ROOT.ML files from the
   115 Isabelle distribution, except for rudimentary src/HOL/IsaMakefile that
   116 provides some traditional targets that invoke "isabelle build".  Note
   117 that this is inefficient!  Applications of Isabelle/HOL involving
   118 "isabelle make" should be upgraded to use "isabelle build" directly.
   119 
   120 * Discontinued obsolete Isabelle/build script, it is superseded by the
   121 regular isabelle build tool.  For example:
   122 
   123   isabelle build -s -b HOLCF
   124 
   125 * The "isabelle options" tool prints Isabelle system options, as
   126 required for "isabelle build", for example.
   127 
   128 * The "isabelle mkroot" tool prepares session root directories for use
   129 with "isabelle build", similar to former "isabelle mkdir" for
   130 "isabelle usedir".
   131 
   132 * The "isabelle components" tool helps to resolve add-on components
   133 that are not bundled, or referenced from a bare-bones repository
   134 version of Isabelle.
   135 
   136 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2.1, which was the last version
   137 without exception positions and advanced ML compiler/toplevel
   138 configuration.
   139 
   140 * Discontinued special treatment of Proof General -- no longer guess
   141 PROOFGENERAL_HOME based on accidental file-system layout.  Minor
   142 INCOMPATIBILITY: provide PROOFGENERAL_HOME and PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS
   143 settings manually, or use a Proof General version that has been
   144 bundled as Isabelle component.
   145 
   146 
   147 New in Isabelle2012 (May 2012)
   148 ------------------------------
   149 
   150 *** General ***
   151 
   152 * Prover IDE (PIDE) improvements:
   153 
   154   - more robust Sledgehammer integration (as before the sledgehammer
   155     command-line needs to be typed into the source buffer)
   156   - markup for bound variables
   157   - markup for types of term variables (displayed as tooltips)
   158   - support for user-defined Isar commands within the running session
   159   - improved support for Unicode outside original 16bit range
   160     e.g. glyph for \<A> (thanks to jEdit 4.5.1)
   161 
   162 * Forward declaration of outer syntax keywords within the theory
   163 header -- minor INCOMPATIBILITY for user-defined commands.  Allow new
   164 commands to be used in the same theory where defined.
   165 
   166 * Auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for specifications with
   167 additional parameters and assumptions.  Such unnamed contexts may be
   168 nested within other targets, like 'theory', 'locale', 'class',
   169 'instantiation' etc.  Results from the local context are generalized
   170 accordingly and applied to the enclosing target context.  Example:
   171 
   172   context
   173     fixes x y z :: 'a
   174     assumes xy: "x = y" and yz: "y = z"
   175   begin
   176 
   177   lemma my_trans: "x = z" using xy yz by simp
   178 
   179   end
   180 
   181   thm my_trans
   182 
   183 The most basic application is to factor-out context elements of
   184 several fixes/assumes/shows theorem statements, e.g. see
   185 ~~/src/HOL/Isar_Examples/Group_Context.thy
   186 
   187 Any other local theory specification element works within the "context
   188 ... begin ... end" block as well.
   189 
   190 * Bundled declarations associate attributed fact expressions with a
   191 given name in the context.  These may be later included in other
   192 contexts.  This allows to manage context extensions casually, without
   193 the logical dependencies of locales and locale interpretation.  See
   194 commands 'bundle', 'include', 'including' etc. in the isar-ref manual.
   195 
   196 * Commands 'lemmas' and 'theorems' allow local variables using 'for'
   197 declaration, and results are standardized before being stored.  Thus
   198 old-style "standard" after instantiation or composition of facts
   199 becomes obsolete.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, due to potential change of
   200 indices of schematic variables.
   201 
   202 * Rule attributes in local theory declarations (e.g. locale or class)
   203 are now statically evaluated: the resulting theorem is stored instead
   204 of the original expression.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
   205 the historic accident of dynamic re-evaluation in interpretations
   206 etc. was exploited.
   207 
   208 * New tutorial "Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL"
   209 ("prog-prove").  It completely supersedes "A Tutorial Introduction to
   210 Structured Isar Proofs" ("isar-overview"), which has been removed.  It
   211 also supersedes "Isabelle/HOL, A Proof Assistant for Higher-Order
   212 Logic" as the recommended beginners tutorial, but does not cover all
   213 of the material of that old tutorial.
   214 
   215 * Updated and extended reference manuals: "isar-ref",
   216 "implementation", "system"; reduced remaining material in old "ref"
   217 manual.
   218 
   219 
   220 *** Pure ***
   221 
   222 * Command 'definition' no longer exports the foundational "raw_def"
   223 into the user context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, may use the regular
   224 "def" result with attribute "abs_def" to imitate the old version.
   225 
   226 * Attribute "abs_def" turns an equation of the form "f x y == t" into
   227 "f == %x y. t", which ensures that "simp" or "unfold" steps always
   228 expand it.  This also works for object-logic equality.  (Formerly
   229 undocumented feature.)
   230 
   231 * Sort constraints are now propagated in simultaneous statements, just
   232 like type constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
   233 distinct sorts used to be assigned accidentally.  For example:
   234 
   235   lemma "P (x::'a::foo)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"  -- "now illegal"
   236 
   237   lemma "P (x::'a)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"
   238     -- "now uniform 'a::bar instead of default sort for first occurrence (!)"
   239 
   240 * Rule composition via attribute "OF" (or ML functions OF/MRS) is more
   241 tolerant against multiple unifiers, as long as the final result is
   242 unique.  (As before, rules are composed in canonical right-to-left
   243 order to accommodate newly introduced premises.)
   244 
   245 * Renamed some inner syntax categories:
   246 
   247     num ~> num_token
   248     xnum ~> xnum_token
   249     xstr ~> str_token
   250 
   251 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that in practice "num_const" or
   252 "num_position" etc. are mainly used instead (which also include
   253 position information via constraints).
   254 
   255 * Simplified configuration options for syntax ambiguity: see
   256 "syntax_ambiguity_warning" and "syntax_ambiguity_limit" in isar-ref
   257 manual.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   258 
   259 * Discontinued configuration option "syntax_positions": atomic terms
   260 in parse trees are always annotated by position constraints.
   261 
   262 * Old code generator for SML and its commands 'code_module',
   263 'code_library', 'consts_code', 'types_code' have been discontinued.
   264 Use commands of the generic code generator instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   265 
   266 * Redundant attribute "code_inline" has been discontinued. Use
   267 "code_unfold" instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   268 
   269 * Dropped attribute "code_unfold_post" in favor of the its dual
   270 "code_abbrev", which yields a common pattern in definitions like
   271 
   272   definition [code_abbrev]: "f = t"
   273 
   274 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   275 
   276 * Obsolete 'types' command has been discontinued.  Use 'type_synonym'
   277 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   278 
   279 * Discontinued old "prems" fact, which used to refer to the accidental
   280 collection of foundational premises in the context (already marked as
   281 legacy since Isabelle2011).
   282 
   283 
   284 *** HOL ***
   285 
   286 * Type 'a set is now a proper type constructor (just as before
   287 Isabelle2008).  Definitions mem_def and Collect_def have disappeared.
   288 Non-trivial INCOMPATIBILITY.  For developments keeping predicates and
   289 sets separate, it is often sufficient to rephrase some set S that has
   290 been accidentally used as predicates by "%x. x : S", and some
   291 predicate P that has been accidentally used as set by "{x. P x}".
   292 Corresponding proofs in a first step should be pruned from any
   293 tinkering with former theorems mem_def and Collect_def as far as
   294 possible.
   295 
   296 For developments which deliberately mix predicates and sets, a
   297 planning step is necessary to determine what should become a predicate
   298 and what a set.  It can be helpful to carry out that step in
   299 Isabelle2011-1 before jumping right into the current release.
   300 
   301 * Code generation by default implements sets as container type rather
   302 than predicates.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   303 
   304 * New type synonym 'a rel = ('a * 'a) set
   305 
   306 * The representation of numerals has changed.  Datatype "num"
   307 represents strictly positive binary numerals, along with functions
   308 "numeral :: num => 'a" and "neg_numeral :: num => 'a" to represent
   309 positive and negated numeric literals, respectively.  See also
   310 definitions in ~~/src/HOL/Num.thy.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, some
   311 user theories may require adaptations as follows:
   312 
   313   - Theorems with number_ring or number_semiring constraints: These
   314     classes are gone; use comm_ring_1 or comm_semiring_1 instead.
   315 
   316   - Theories defining numeric types: Remove number, number_semiring,
   317     and number_ring instances. Defer all theorems about numerals until
   318     after classes one and semigroup_add have been instantiated.
   319 
   320   - Numeral-only simp rules: Replace each rule having a "number_of v"
   321     pattern with two copies, one for numeral and one for neg_numeral.
   322 
   323   - Theorems about subclasses of semiring_1 or ring_1: These classes
   324     automatically support numerals now, so more simp rules and
   325     simprocs may now apply within the proof.
   326 
   327   - Definitions and theorems using old constructors Pls/Min/Bit0/Bit1:
   328     Redefine using other integer operations.
   329 
   330 * Transfer: New package intended to generalize the existing
   331 "descending" method and related theorem attributes from the Quotient
   332 package.  (Not all functionality is implemented yet, but future
   333 development will focus on Transfer as an eventual replacement for the
   334 corresponding parts of the Quotient package.)
   335 
   336   - transfer_rule attribute: Maintains a collection of transfer rules,
   337     which relate constants at two different types. Transfer rules may
   338     relate different type instances of the same polymorphic constant,
   339     or they may relate an operation on a raw type to a corresponding
   340     operation on an abstract type (quotient or subtype). For example:
   341 
   342     ((A ===> B) ===> list_all2 A ===> list_all2 B) map map
   343     (cr_int ===> cr_int ===> cr_int) (%(x,y) (u,v). (x+u, y+v)) plus_int
   344 
   345   - transfer method: Replaces a subgoal on abstract types with an
   346     equivalent subgoal on the corresponding raw types. Constants are
   347     replaced with corresponding ones according to the transfer rules.
   348     Goals are generalized over all free variables by default; this is
   349     necessary for variables whose types change, but can be overridden
   350     for specific variables with e.g. "transfer fixing: x y z".  The
   351     variant transfer' method allows replacing a subgoal with one that
   352     is logically stronger (rather than equivalent).
   353 
   354   - relator_eq attribute: Collects identity laws for relators of
   355     various type constructors, e.g. "list_all2 (op =) = (op =)".  The
   356     transfer method uses these lemmas to infer transfer rules for
   357     non-polymorphic constants on the fly.
   358 
   359   - transfer_prover method: Assists with proving a transfer rule for a
   360     new constant, provided the constant is defined in terms of other
   361     constants that already have transfer rules. It should be applied
   362     after unfolding the constant definitions.
   363 
   364   - HOL/ex/Transfer_Int_Nat.thy: Example theory demonstrating transfer
   365     from type nat to type int.
   366 
   367 * Lifting: New package intended to generalize the quotient_definition
   368 facility of the Quotient package; designed to work with Transfer.
   369 
   370   - lift_definition command: Defines operations on an abstract type in
   371     terms of a corresponding operation on a representation
   372     type.  Example syntax:
   373 
   374     lift_definition dlist_insert :: "'a => 'a dlist => 'a dlist"
   375       is List.insert
   376 
   377     Users must discharge a respectfulness proof obligation when each
   378     constant is defined. (For a type copy, i.e. a typedef with UNIV,
   379     the proof is discharged automatically.) The obligation is
   380     presented in a user-friendly, readable form; a respectfulness
   381     theorem in the standard format and a transfer rule are generated
   382     by the package.
   383 
   384   - Integration with code_abstype: For typedefs (e.g. subtypes
   385     corresponding to a datatype invariant, such as dlist),
   386     lift_definition generates a code certificate theorem and sets up
   387     code generation for each constant.
   388 
   389   - setup_lifting command: Sets up the Lifting package to work with a
   390     user-defined type. The user must provide either a quotient theorem
   391     or a type_definition theorem.  The package configures transfer
   392     rules for equality and quantifiers on the type, and sets up the
   393     lift_definition command to work with the type.
   394 
   395   - Usage examples: See Quotient_Examples/Lift_DList.thy,
   396     Quotient_Examples/Lift_RBT.thy, Quotient_Examples/Lift_FSet.thy,
   397     Word/Word.thy and Library/Float.thy.
   398 
   399 * Quotient package:
   400 
   401   - The 'quotient_type' command now supports a 'morphisms' option with
   402     rep and abs functions, similar to typedef.
   403 
   404   - 'quotient_type' sets up new types to work with the Lifting and
   405     Transfer packages, as with 'setup_lifting'.
   406 
   407   - The 'quotient_definition' command now requires the user to prove a
   408     respectfulness property at the point where the constant is
   409     defined, similar to lift_definition; INCOMPATIBILITY.
   410 
   411   - Renamed predicate 'Quotient' to 'Quotient3', and renamed theorems
   412     accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.
   413 
   414 * New diagnostic command 'find_unused_assms' to find potentially
   415 superfluous assumptions in theorems using Quickcheck.
   416 
   417 * Quickcheck:
   418 
   419   - Quickcheck returns variable assignments as counterexamples, which
   420     allows to reveal the underspecification of functions under test.
   421     For example, refuting "hd xs = x", it presents the variable
   422     assignment xs = [] and x = a1 as a counterexample, assuming that
   423     any property is false whenever "hd []" occurs in it.
   424 
   425     These counterexample are marked as potentially spurious, as
   426     Quickcheck also returns "xs = []" as a counterexample to the
   427     obvious theorem "hd xs = hd xs".
   428 
   429     After finding a potentially spurious counterexample, Quickcheck
   430     continues searching for genuine ones.
   431 
   432     By default, Quickcheck shows potentially spurious and genuine
   433     counterexamples. The option "genuine_only" sets quickcheck to only
   434     show genuine counterexamples.
   435 
   436   - The command 'quickcheck_generator' creates random and exhaustive
   437     value generators for a given type and operations.
   438 
   439     It generates values by using the operations as if they were
   440     constructors of that type.
   441 
   442   - Support for multisets.
   443 
   444   - Added "use_subtype" options.
   445 
   446   - Added "quickcheck_locale" configuration to specify how to process
   447     conjectures in a locale context.
   448 
   449 * Nitpick: Fixed infinite loop caused by the 'peephole_optim' option
   450 and affecting 'rat' and 'real'.
   451 
   452 * Sledgehammer:
   453   - Integrated more tightly with SPASS, as described in the ITP 2012
   454     paper "More SPASS with Isabelle".
   455   - Made it try "smt" as a fallback if "metis" fails or times out.
   456   - Added support for the following provers: Alt-Ergo (via Why3 and
   457     TFF1), iProver, iProver-Eq.
   458   - Sped up the minimizer.
   459   - Added "lam_trans", "uncurry_aliases", and "minimize" options.
   460   - Renamed "slicing" ("no_slicing") option to "slice" ("dont_slice").
   461   - Renamed "sound" option to "strict".
   462 
   463 * Metis: Added possibility to specify lambda translations scheme as a
   464 parenthesized argument (e.g., "by (metis (lifting) ...)").
   465 
   466 * SMT: Renamed "smt_fixed" option to "smt_read_only_certificates".
   467 
   468 * Command 'try0': Renamed from 'try_methods'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
   469 
   470 * New "case_product" attribute to generate a case rule doing multiple
   471 case distinctions at the same time.  E.g.
   472 
   473   list.exhaust [case_product nat.exhaust]
   474 
   475 produces a rule which can be used to perform case distinction on both
   476 a list and a nat.
   477 
   478 * New "eventually_elim" method as a generalized variant of the
   479 eventually_elim* rules.  Supports structured proofs.
   480 
   481 * Typedef with implicit set definition is considered legacy.  Use
   482 "typedef (open)" form instead, which will eventually become the
   483 default.
   484 
   485 * Record: code generation can be switched off manually with
   486 
   487   declare [[record_coden = false]]  -- "default true"
   488 
   489 * Datatype: type parameters allow explicit sort constraints.
   490 
   491 * Concrete syntax for case expressions includes constraints for source
   492 positions, and thus produces Prover IDE markup for its bindings.
   493 INCOMPATIBILITY for old-style syntax translations that augment the
   494 pattern notation; e.g. see src/HOL/HOLCF/One.thy for translations of
   495 one_case.
   496 
   497 * Clarified attribute "mono_set": pure declaration without modifying
   498 the result of the fact expression.
   499 
   500 * More default pred/set conversions on a couple of relation operations
   501 and predicates.  Added powers of predicate relations.  Consolidation
   502 of some relation theorems:
   503 
   504   converse_def ~> converse_unfold
   505   rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
   506   symp_def ~> (modified, use symp_def and sym_def instead)
   507   transp_def ~> transp_trans
   508   Domain_def ~> Domain_unfold
   509   Range_def ~> Domain_converse [symmetric]
   510 
   511 Generalized theorems INF_INT_eq, INF_INT_eq2, SUP_UN_eq, SUP_UN_eq2.
   512 
   513 See theory "Relation" for examples for making use of pred/set
   514 conversions by means of attributes "to_set" and "to_pred".
   515 
   516 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   517 
   518 * Renamed facts about the power operation on relations, i.e., relpow
   519 to match the constant's name:
   520 
   521   rel_pow_1 ~> relpow_1
   522   rel_pow_0_I ~> relpow_0_I

   546 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   547 
   548 * Theory Relation: Consolidated constant name for relation composition
   549 and corresponding theorem names:
   550 
   551   - Renamed constant rel_comp to relcomp.
   552 
   553   - Dropped abbreviation pred_comp. Use relcompp instead.
   554 
   555   - Renamed theorems:

   896 * New theory HOL/Library/DAList provides an abstract type for
   897 association lists with distinct keys.
   898 
   899 * Session HOL/IMP: Added new theory of abstract interpretation of
   900 annotated commands.
   901 
   902 * Session HOL-Import: Re-implementation from scratch is faster,
   903 simpler, and more scalable.  Requires a proof bundle, which is
   904 available as an external component.  Discontinued old (and mostly
   905 dead) Importer for HOL4 and HOL Light.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   906 
   907 * Session HOL-Word: Discontinued many redundant theorems specific to
   908 type 'a word. INCOMPATIBILITY, use the corresponding generic theorems
   909 instead.

   953 * Session HOL-Word: New proof method "word_bitwise" for splitting
   954 machine word equalities and inequalities into logical circuits,
   955 defined in HOL/Word/WordBitwise.thy.  Supports addition, subtraction,
   956 multiplication, shifting by constants, bitwise operators and numeric
   957 constants.  Requires fixed-length word types, not 'a word.  Solves
   958 many standard word identities outright and converts more into first
   959 order problems amenable to blast or similar.  See also examples in
   960 HOL/Word/Examples/WordExamples.thy.
   961 
   962 * Session HOL-Probability: Introduced the type "'a measure" to
   963 represent measures, this replaces the records 'a algebra and 'a
   964 measure_space.  The locales based on subset_class now have two
   965 locale-parameters the space \<Omega> and the set of measurable sets M.
   966 The product of probability spaces uses now the same constant as the
   967 finite product of sigma-finite measure spaces "PiM :: ('i => 'a)
   968 measure".  Most constants are defined now outside of locales and gain
   969 an additional parameter, like null_sets, almost_eventually or \<mu>'.
   970 Measure space constructions for distributions and densities now got
   971 their own constants distr and density.  Instead of using locales to
   972 describe measure spaces with a finite space, the measure count_space
   973 and point_measure is introduced.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  1135 * Session HOL-TPTP: support to parse and import TPTP problems (all
  1136 languages) into Isabelle/HOL.
  1137 
  1138 
  1139 *** FOL ***
  1140 
  1141 * New "case_product" attribute (see HOL).
  1142 
  1143 
  1144 *** ZF ***
  1145 
  1146 * Greater support for structured proofs involving induction or case
  1147 analysis.
  1148 
  1149 * Much greater use of mathematical symbols.
  1150 
  1151 * Removal of many ML theorem bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1152 
  1153 
  1154 *** ML ***
  1155 
  1156 * Antiquotation @{keyword "name"} produces a parser for outer syntax
  1157 from a minor keyword introduced via theory header declaration.
  1158 
  1159 * Antiquotation @{command_spec "name"} produces the
  1160 Outer_Syntax.command_spec from a major keyword introduced via theory
  1161 header declaration; it can be passed to Outer_Syntax.command etc.
  1162 
  1163 * Local_Theory.define no longer hard-wires default theorem name
  1164 "foo_def", but retains the binding as given.  If that is Binding.empty
  1165 / Attrib.empty_binding, the result is not registered as user-level
  1166 fact.  The Local_Theory.define_internal variant allows to specify a
  1167 non-empty name (used for the foundation in the background theory),
  1168 while omitting the fact binding in the user-context.  Potential
  1169 INCOMPATIBILITY for derived definitional packages: need to specify
  1170 naming policy for primitive definitions more explicitly.
  1171 
  1172 * Renamed Thm.capply to Thm.apply, and Thm.cabs to Thm.lambda in
  1173 conformance with similar operations in structure Term and Logic.
  1174 
  1175 * Antiquotation @{attributes [...]} embeds attribute source
  1176 representation into the ML text, which is particularly useful with
  1177 declarations like Local_Theory.note.
  1178 
  1179 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  1180 ProofContext has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1181 
  1182 * Refined Local_Theory.declaration {syntax, pervasive}, with subtle
  1183 change of semantics: update is applied to auxiliary local theory
  1184 context as well.
  1185 
  1186 * Modernized some old-style infix operations:

  1202 *** System ***
  1203 
  1204 * USER_HOME settings variable points to cross-platform user home
  1205 directory, which coincides with HOME on POSIX systems only.  Likewise,
  1206 the Isabelle path specification "~" now expands to $USER_HOME, instead
  1207 of former $HOME.  A different default for USER_HOME may be set
  1208 explicitly in shell environment, before Isabelle settings are
  1209 evaluated.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: need to adapt Isabelle path where
  1210 the generic user home was intended.
  1211 
  1212 * ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS refers to ISABELLE_HOME in windows file name
  1213 notation, which is useful for the jEdit file browser, for example.
  1214 
  1215 * ISABELLE_JDK_HOME settings variable points to JDK with javac and jar
  1216 (not just JRE).
  1217 
  1218 
  1219 
  1220 New in Isabelle2011-1 (October 2011)
  1221 ------------------------------------
  1222 
  1223 *** General ***
  1224 
  1225 * Improved Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE (PIDE), which can be invoked as
  1226 "isabelle jedit" or "ISABELLE_HOME/Isabelle" on the command line.
  1227 
  1228   - Management of multiple theory files directly from the editor
  1229     buffer store -- bypassing the file-system (no requirement to save
  1230     files for checking).
  1231 
  1232   - Markup of formal entities within the text buffer, with semantic
  1233     highlighting, tooltips and hyperlinks to jump to defining source
  1234     positions.
  1235 
  1236   - Improved text rendering, with sub/superscripts in the source
  1237     buffer (including support for copy/paste wrt. output panel, HTML
  1238     theory output and other non-Isabelle text boxes).
  1239 
  1240   - Refined scheduling of proof checking and printing of results,
  1241     based on interactive editor view.  (Note: jEdit folding and
  1242     narrowing allows to restrict buffer perspectives explicitly.)
  1243 
  1244   - Reduced CPU performance requirements, usable on machines with few
  1245     cores.
  1246 
  1247   - Reduced memory requirements due to pruning of unused document
  1248     versions (garbage collection).
  1249 
  1250 See also ~~/src/Tools/jEdit/README.html for further information,
  1251 including some remaining limitations.
  1252 
  1253 * Theory loader: source files are exclusively located via the master
  1254 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  1255 The global load path (such as src/HOL/Library) has been discontinued.
  1256 Note that the path element ~~ may be used to reference theories in the
  1257 Isabelle home folder -- for instance, "~~/src/HOL/Library/FuncSet".
  1258 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1259 
  1260 * Theory loader: source files are identified by content via SHA1
  1261 digests.  Discontinued former path/modtime identification and optional
  1262 ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT plugin scripts.
  1263 
  1264 * Parallelization of nested Isar proofs is subject to
  1265 Goal.parallel_proofs_threshold (default 100).  See also isabelle
  1266 usedir option -Q.
  1267 
  1268 * Name space: former unsynchronized references are now proper
  1269 configuration options, with more conventional names:
  1270 
  1271   long_names   ~> names_long
  1272   short_names  ~> names_short
  1273   unique_names ~> names_unique
  1274 
  1275 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, need to declare options in context like this:
  1276 
  1277   declare [[names_unique = false]]
  1278 
  1279 * Literal facts `prop` may contain dummy patterns, e.g. `_ = _`.  Note
  1280 that the result needs to be unique, which means fact specifications
  1281 may have to be refined after enriching a proof context.
  1282 
  1283 * Attribute "case_names" has been refined: the assumptions in each case
  1284 can be named now by following the case name with [name1 name2 ...].
  1285 
  1286 * Isabelle/Isar reference manual has been updated and extended:
  1287   - "Synopsis" provides a catalog of main Isar language concepts.
  1288   - Formal references in syntax diagrams, via @{rail} antiquotation.
  1289   - Updated material from classic "ref" manual, notably about
  1290     "Classical Reasoner".
  1291 
  1292 
  1293 *** HOL ***
  1294 
  1295 * Class bot and top require underlying partial order rather than
  1296 preorder: uniqueness of bot and top is guaranteed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1297 
  1298 * Class complete_lattice: generalized a couple of lemmas from sets;
  1299 generalized theorems INF_cong and SUP_cong.  New type classes for
  1300 complete boolean algebras and complete linear orders.  Lemmas
  1301 Inf_less_iff, less_Sup_iff, INF_less_iff, less_SUP_iff now reside in
  1302 class complete_linorder.
  1303 
  1304 Changed proposition of lemmas Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, Inf_fun_def,
  1305 Sup_fun_def, Inf_apply, Sup_apply.
  1306 
  1307 Removed redundant lemmas (the right hand side gives hints how to
  1308 replace them for (metis ...), or (simp only: ...) proofs):
  1309 
  1310   Inf_singleton ~> Inf_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Inf_empty inf_top_right]
  1311   Sup_singleton ~> Sup_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Sup_empty sup_bot_right]
  1312   Inf_binary ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  1313   Sup_binary ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  1314   Int_eq_Inter ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  1315   Un_eq_Union ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  1316   Inter_def ~> INF_def, image_def
  1317   Union_def ~> SUP_def, image_def
  1318   INT_eq ~> INF_def, and image_def
  1319   UN_eq ~> SUP_def, and image_def
  1320   INF_subset ~> INF_superset_mono [OF _ order_refl]
  1321 
  1322 More consistent and comprehensive names:
  1323 
  1324   INTER_eq_Inter_image ~> INF_def
  1325   UNION_eq_Union_image ~> SUP_def
  1326   INFI_def ~> INF_def
  1327   SUPR_def ~> SUP_def
  1328   INF_leI ~> INF_lower
  1329   INF_leI2 ~> INF_lower2
  1330   le_INFI ~> INF_greatest
  1331   le_SUPI ~> SUP_upper
  1332   le_SUPI2 ~> SUP_upper2
  1333   SUP_leI ~> SUP_least
  1334   INFI_bool_eq ~> INF_bool_eq
  1335   SUPR_bool_eq ~> SUP_bool_eq
  1336   INFI_apply ~> INF_apply
  1337   SUPR_apply ~> SUP_apply
  1338   INTER_def ~> INTER_eq
  1339   UNION_def ~> UNION_eq
  1340 
  1341 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1342 
  1343 * Renamed theory Complete_Lattice to Complete_Lattices.
  1344 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1345 
  1346 * Theory Complete_Lattices: lemmas Inf_eq_top_iff, INF_eq_top_iff,
  1347 INF_image, Inf_insert, INF_top, Inf_top_conv, INF_top_conv, SUP_bot,
  1348 Sup_bot_conv, SUP_bot_conv, Sup_eq_top_iff, SUP_eq_top_iff, SUP_image,
  1349 Sup_insert are now declared as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1350 
  1351 * Theory Lattice: lemmas compl_inf_bot, compl_le_comp_iff,
  1352 compl_sup_top, inf_idem, inf_left_idem, inf_sup_absorb, sup_idem,
  1353 sup_inf_absob, sup_left_idem are now declared as [simp].  Minor
  1354 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1355 
  1356 * Added syntactic classes "inf" and "sup" for the respective
  1357 constants.  INCOMPATIBILITY: Changes in the argument order of the
  1358 (mostly internal) locale predicates for some derived classes.
  1359 
  1360 * Theorem collections ball_simps and bex_simps do not contain theorems
  1361 referring to UNION any longer; these have been moved to collection
  1362 UN_ball_bex_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1363 
  1364 * Theory Archimedean_Field: floor now is defined as parameter of a
  1365 separate type class floor_ceiling.
  1366 
  1367 * Theory Finite_Set: more coherent development of fold_set locales:
  1368 
  1369     locale fun_left_comm ~> locale comp_fun_commute
  1370     locale fun_left_comm_idem ~> locale comp_fun_idem
  1371 
  1372 Both use point-free characterization; interpretation proofs may need
  1373 adjustment.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1374 
  1375 * Theory Limits: Type "'a net" has been renamed to "'a filter", in
  1376 accordance with standard mathematical terminology. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1377 
  1378 * Theory Complex_Main: The locale interpretations for the
  1379 bounded_linear and bounded_bilinear locales have been removed, in
  1380 order to reduce the number of duplicate lemmas. Users must use the
  1381 original names for distributivity theorems, potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

  1476 
  1477 * Theory Complex_Main: The definition of infinite series was
  1478 generalized.  Now it is defined on the type class {topological_space,
  1479 comm_monoid_add}.  Hence it is useable also for extended real numbers.
  1480 
  1481 * Theory Complex_Main: The complex exponential function "expi" is now
  1482 a type-constrained abbreviation for "exp :: complex => complex"; thus
  1483 several polymorphic lemmas about "exp" are now applicable to "expi".
  1484 
  1485 * Code generation:
  1486 
  1487   - Theory Library/Code_Char_ord provides native ordering of
  1488     characters in the target language.
  1489 
  1490   - Commands code_module and code_library are legacy, use export_code
  1491     instead.
  1492 
  1493   - Method "evaluation" is legacy, use method "eval" instead.
  1494 
  1495   - Legacy evaluator "SML" is deactivated by default.  May be
  1496     reactivated by the following theory command:
  1497 
  1498       setup {* Value.add_evaluator ("SML", Codegen.eval_term) *}
  1499 
  1500 * Declare ext [intro] by default.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1501 
  1502 * New proof method "induction" that gives induction hypotheses the
  1503 name "IH", thus distinguishing them from further hypotheses that come
  1504 from rule induction.  The latter are still called "hyps".  Method
  1505 "induction" is a thin wrapper around "induct" and follows the same
  1506 syntax.
  1507 
  1508 * Method "fastsimp" has been renamed to "fastforce", but "fastsimp" is
  1509 still available as a legacy feature for some time.
  1510 
  1511 * Nitpick:
  1512   - Added "need" and "total_consts" options.
  1513   - Reintroduced "show_skolems" option by popular demand.
  1514   - Renamed attribute: nitpick_def ~> nitpick_unfold.
  1515     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1516 
  1517 * Sledgehammer:
  1518   - Use quasi-sound (and efficient) translations by default.
  1519   - Added support for the following provers: E-ToFoF, LEO-II,
  1520     Satallax, SNARK, Waldmeister, and Z3 with TPTP syntax.
  1521   - Automatically preplay and minimize proofs before showing them if
  1522     this can be done within reasonable time.
  1523   - sledgehammer available_provers ~> sledgehammer supported_provers.
  1524     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1525   - Added "preplay_timeout", "slicing", "type_enc", "sound",
  1526     "max_mono_iters", and "max_new_mono_instances" options.
  1527   - Removed "explicit_apply" and "full_types" options as well as "Full
  1528     Types" Proof General menu item. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1529 
  1530 * Metis:
  1531   - Removed "metisF" -- use "metis" instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1532   - Obsoleted "metisFT" -- use "metis (full_types)" instead.
  1533     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1534 
  1535 * Command 'try':
  1536   - Renamed 'try_methods' and added "simp:", "intro:", "dest:", and
  1537     "elim:" options. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1538   - Introduced 'try' that not only runs 'try_methods' but also
  1539     'solve_direct', 'sledgehammer', 'quickcheck', and 'nitpick'.
  1540 
  1541 * Quickcheck:
  1542   - Added "eval" option to evaluate terms for the found counterexample
  1543     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  1544   - Added post-processing of terms to obtain readable counterexamples
  1545     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  1546   - New counterexample generator quickcheck[narrowing] enables
  1547     narrowing-based testing.  Requires the Glasgow Haskell compiler
  1548     with its installation location defined in the Isabelle settings
  1549     environment as ISABELLE_GHC.
  1550   - Removed quickcheck tester "SML" based on the SML code generator
  1551     (formly in HOL/Library).
  1552 
  1553 * Function package: discontinued option "tailrec".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  1554 use 'partial_function' instead.
  1555 
  1556 * Theory Library/Extended_Reals replaces now the positive extended
  1557 reals found in probability theory. This file is extended by
  1558 Multivariate_Analysis/Extended_Real_Limits.
  1559 
  1560 * Theory Library/Old_Recdef: old 'recdef' package has been moved here,
  1561 from where it must be imported explicitly if it is really required.
  1562 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1563 
  1564 * Theory Library/Wfrec: well-founded recursion combinator "wfrec" has
  1565 been moved here.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1566 
  1567 * Theory Library/Saturated provides type of numbers with saturated
  1568 arithmetic.
  1569 
  1570 * Theory Library/Product_Lattice defines a pointwise ordering for the
  1571 product type 'a * 'b, and provides instance proofs for various order
  1572 and lattice type classes.
  1573 
  1574 * Theory Library/Countable now provides the "countable_datatype" proof
  1575 method for proving "countable" class instances for datatypes.
  1576 
  1577 * Theory Library/Cset_Monad allows do notation for computable sets
  1578 (cset) via the generic monad ad-hoc overloading facility.
  1579 
  1580 * Library: Theories of common data structures are split into theories
  1581 for implementation, an invariant-ensuring type, and connection to an
  1582 abstract type. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1583 
  1584   - RBT is split into RBT and RBT_Mapping.
  1585   - AssocList is split and renamed into AList and AList_Mapping.
  1586   - DList is split into DList_Impl, DList, and DList_Cset.
  1587   - Cset is split into Cset and List_Cset.
  1588 
  1589 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity has been renamed to
  1590 Library/Extended_Nat, with name changes of the following types and
  1591 constants:
  1592 
  1593   type inat   ~> type enat
  1594   Fin         ~> enat
  1595   Infty       ~> infinity (overloaded)
  1596   iSuc        ~> eSuc
  1597   the_Fin     ~> the_enat
  1598 
  1599 Every theorem name containing "inat", "Fin", "Infty", or "iSuc" has
  1600 been renamed accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1601 
  1602 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: The euclidean_space type class now
  1603 fixes a constant "Basis :: 'a set" consisting of the standard
  1604 orthonormal basis for the type. Users now have the option of
  1605 quantifying over this set instead of using the "basis" function, e.g.
  1606 "ALL x:Basis. P x" vs "ALL i<DIM('a). P (basis i)".
  1607 
  1608 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Type "('a, 'b) cart" has been renamed
  1609 to "('a, 'b) vec" (the syntax "'a ^ 'b" remains unaffected). Constants
  1610 "Cart_nth" and "Cart_lambda" have been respectively renamed to
  1611 "vec_nth" and "vec_lambda"; theorems mentioning those names have
  1612 changed to match. Definition theorems for overloaded constants now use
  1613 the standard "foo_vec_def" naming scheme. A few other theorems have
  1614 been renamed as follows (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  1615 
  1616   Cart_eq          ~> vec_eq_iff
  1617   dist_nth_le_cart ~> dist_vec_nth_le

  1619   Cauchy_vector    ~> vec_CauchyI
  1620 
  1621 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Several duplicate theorems have been
  1622 removed, and other theorems have been renamed or replaced with more
  1623 general versions. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  1679   - Infinite products of probability measures are now available.
  1680   - Sigma closure is independent, if the generator is independent

  1713 *** Document preparation ***
  1714 
  1715 * Antiquotation @{rail} layouts railroad syntax diagrams, see also
  1716 isar-ref manual, both for description and actual application of the
  1717 same.
  1718 
  1719 * Antiquotation @{value} evaluates the given term and presents its
  1720 result.
  1721 
  1722 * Antiquotations: term style "isub" provides ad-hoc conversion of
  1723 variables x1, y23 into subscripted form x\<^isub>1,
  1724 y\<^isub>2\<^isub>3.
  1725 
  1726 * Predefined LaTeX macros for Isabelle symbols \<bind> and \<then>
  1727 (e.g. see ~~/src/HOL/Library/Monad_Syntax.thy).
  1728 
  1729 * Localized \isabellestyle switch can be used within blocks or groups
  1730 like this:
  1731 
  1732   \isabellestyle{it}  %preferred default
  1733   {\isabellestylett @{text "typewriter stuff"}}
  1734 
  1735 * Discontinued special treatment of hard tabulators.  Implicit
  1736 tab-width is now defined as 1.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for visual
  1737 layouts.
  1738 
  1739 
  1740 *** ML ***
  1741 
  1742 * The inner syntax of sort/type/term/prop supports inlined YXML
  1743 representations within quoted string tokens.  By encoding logical
  1744 entities via Term_XML (in ML or Scala) concrete syntax can be
  1745 bypassed, which is particularly useful for producing bits of text
  1746 under external program control.
  1747 
  1748 * Antiquotations for ML and document preparation are managed as theory
  1749 data, which requires explicit setup.
  1750 
  1751 * Isabelle_Process.is_active allows tools to check if the official
  1752 process wrapper is running (Isabelle/Scala/jEdit) or the old TTY loop
  1753 (better known as Proof General).
  1754 
  1755 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  1756 ProofContext is still available for some time as legacy alias.
  1757 
  1758 * Structure Timing provides various operations for timing; supersedes
  1759 former start_timing/end_timing etc.
  1760 
  1761 * Path.print is the official way to show file-system paths to users
  1762 (including quotes etc.).
  1763 
  1764 * Inner syntax: identifiers in parse trees of generic categories
  1765 "logic", "aprop", "idt" etc. carry position information (disguised as
  1766 type constraints).  Occasional INCOMPATIBILITY with non-compliant
  1767 translations that choke on unexpected type constraints.  Positions can
  1768 be stripped in ML translations via Syntax.strip_positions /
  1769 Syntax.strip_positions_ast, or via the syntax constant
  1770 "_strip_positions" within parse trees.  As last resort, positions can
  1771 be disabled via the configuration option Syntax.positions, which is
  1772 called "syntax_positions" in Isar attribute syntax.
  1773 
  1774 * Discontinued special status of various ML structures that contribute
  1775 to structure Syntax (Ast, Lexicon, Mixfix, Parser, Printer etc.): less
  1776 pervasive content, no inclusion in structure Syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  1777 refer directly to Ast.Constant, Lexicon.is_identifier,
  1778 Syntax_Trans.mk_binder_tr etc.
  1779 
  1780 * Typed print translation: discontinued show_sorts argument, which is
  1781 already available via context of "advanced" translation.
  1782 
  1783 * Refined PARALLEL_GOALS tactical: degrades gracefully for schematic
  1784 goal states; body tactic needs to address all subgoals uniformly.
  1785 
  1786 * Slightly more special eq_list/eq_set, with shortcut involving
  1787 pointer equality (assumes that eq relation is reflexive).
  1788 
  1789 * Classical tactics use proper Proof.context instead of historic types
  1790 claset/clasimpset.  Old-style declarations like addIs, addEs, addDs
  1791 operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type claset retains its use as
  1792 snapshot of the classical context, which can be recovered via
  1793 (put_claset HOL_cs) etc.  Type clasimpset has been discontinued.
  1794 INCOMPATIBILITY, classical tactics and derived proof methods require
  1795 proper Proof.context.
  1796 
  1797 
  1798 *** System ***
  1799 
  1800 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2, which was the last version
  1801 without proper multithreading and TimeLimit implementation.
  1802 
  1803 * Discontinued old lib/scripts/polyml-platform, which has been
  1804 obsolete since Isabelle2009-2.
  1805 
  1806 * Various optional external tools are referenced more robustly and
  1807 uniformly by explicit Isabelle settings as follows:
  1808 
  1809   ISABELLE_CSDP   (formerly CSDP_EXE)
  1810   ISABELLE_GHC    (formerly EXEC_GHC or GHC_PATH)
  1811   ISABELLE_OCAML  (formerly EXEC_OCAML)
  1812   ISABELLE_SWIPL  (formerly EXEC_SWIPL)
  1813   ISABELLE_YAP    (formerly EXEC_YAP)
  1814 
  1815 Note that automated detection from the file-system or search path has
  1816 been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1817 
  1818 * Scala layer provides JVM method invocation service for static
  1819 methods of type (String)String, see Invoke_Scala.method in ML.  For
  1820 example:
  1821 
  1822   Invoke_Scala.method "java.lang.System.getProperty" "java.home"
  1823 
  1824 Together with YXML.string_of_body/parse_body and XML.Encode/Decode
  1825 this allows to pass structured values between ML and Scala.
  1826 
  1827 * The IsabelleText fonts includes some further glyphs to support the
  1828 Prover IDE.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: users who happen to have
  1829 installed a local copy (which is normally *not* required) need to
  1830 delete or update it from ~~/lib/fonts/.
  1831 
  1832 
  1833 
  1834 New in Isabelle2011 (January 2011)
  1835 ----------------------------------
  1836 
  1837 *** General ***
  1838 
  1839 * Experimental Prover IDE based on Isabelle/Scala and jEdit (see
  1840 src/Tools/jEdit).  This also serves as IDE for Isabelle/ML, with
  1841 useful tooltips and hyperlinks produced from its static analysis.  The
  1842 bundled component provides an executable Isabelle tool that can be run
  1843 like this:
  1844 
  1845   Isabelle2011/bin/isabelle jedit
  1846 
  1847 * Significantly improved Isabelle/Isar implementation manual.
  1848 
  1849 * System settings: ISABELLE_HOME_USER now includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER
  1850 (and thus refers to something like $HOME/.isabelle/Isabelle2011),
  1851 while the default heap location within that directory lacks that extra
  1852 suffix.  This isolates multiple Isabelle installations from each
  1853 other, avoiding problems with old settings in new versions.
  1854 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to copy/upgrade old user settings manually.
  1855 
  1856 * Source files are always encoded as UTF-8, instead of old-fashioned
  1857 ISO-Latin-1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Isabelle LaTeX documents might require
  1858 the following package declarations:
  1859 
  1860   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
  1861   \usepackage{textcomp}
  1862 
  1863 * Explicit treatment of UTF-8 sequences as Isabelle symbols, such that
  1864 a Unicode character is treated as a single symbol, not a sequence of
  1865 non-ASCII bytes as before.  Since Isabelle/ML string literals may
  1866 contain symbols without further backslash escapes, Unicode can now be
  1867 used here as well.  Recall that Symbol.explode in ML provides a
  1868 consistent view on symbols, while raw explode (or String.explode)
  1869 merely give a byte-oriented representation.
  1870 
  1871 * Theory loader: source files are primarily located via the master
  1872 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  1873 The global load path is still partially available as legacy feature.
  1874 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY due to subtle change in file lookup: use
  1875 explicit paths, relatively to the theory.
  1876 
  1877 * Special treatment of ML file names has been discontinued.
  1878 Historically, optional extensions .ML or .sml were added on demand --
  1879 at the cost of clarity of file dependencies.  Recall that Isabelle/ML
  1880 files exclusively use the .ML extension.  Minor INCOMPATIBILTY.
  1881 
  1882 * Various options that affect pretty printing etc. are now properly
  1883 handled within the context via configuration options, instead of
  1884 unsynchronized references or print modes.  There are both ML Config.T
  1885 entities and Isar declaration attributes to access these.
  1886 
  1887   ML (Config.T)                 Isar (attribute)

  1910   Thy_Output.break              thy_output_break
  1911 
  1912 Note that corresponding "..._default" references in ML may only be
  1913 changed globally at the ROOT session setup, but *not* within a theory.
  1914 The option "show_abbrevs" supersedes the former print mode
  1915 "no_abbrevs" with inverted meaning.
  1916 
  1917 * More systematic naming of some configuration options.
  1918 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1919 
  1920   trace_simp  ~>  simp_trace
  1921   debug_simp  ~>  simp_debug
  1922 
  1923 * Support for real valued configuration options, using simplistic
  1924 floating-point notation that coincides with the inner syntax for
  1925 float_token.
  1926 
  1927 * Support for real valued preferences (with approximative PGIP type):
  1928 front-ends need to accept "pgint" values in float notation.
  1929 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1930 
  1931 * The IsabelleText font now includes Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic from
  1932 DejaVu Sans.
  1933 
  1934 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.0 and 5.1 versions.
  1935 
  1936 
  1937 *** Pure ***
  1938 
  1939 * Command 'type_synonym' (with single argument) replaces somewhat
  1940 outdated 'types', which is still available as legacy feature for some
  1941 time.
  1942 
  1943 * Command 'nonterminal' (with 'and' separated list of arguments)
  1944 replaces somewhat outdated 'nonterminals'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1945 
  1946 * Command 'notepad' replaces former 'example_proof' for
  1947 experimentation in Isar without any result.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1948 
  1949 * Locale interpretation commands 'interpret' and 'sublocale' accept
  1950 lists of equations to map definitions in a locale to appropriate
  1951 entities in the context of the interpretation.  The 'interpretation'
  1952 command already provided this functionality.
  1953 
  1954 * Diagnostic command 'print_dependencies' prints the locale instances
  1955 that would be activated if the specified expression was interpreted in
  1956 the current context.  Variant "print_dependencies!" assumes a context
  1957 without interpretations.
  1958 
  1959 * Diagnostic command 'print_interps' prints interpretations in proofs
  1960 in addition to interpretations in theories.
  1961 
  1962 * Discontinued obsolete 'global' and 'local' commands to manipulate
  1963 the theory name space.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.  The ML functions
  1964 Sign.root_path and Sign.local_path may be applied directly where this
  1965 feature is still required for historical reasons.
  1966 
  1967 * Discontinued obsolete 'constdefs' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  1968 'definition' instead.
  1969 
  1970 * The "prems" fact, which refers to the accidental collection of
  1971 foundational premises in the context, is now explicitly marked as
  1972 legacy feature and will be discontinued soon.  Consider using "assms"
  1973 of the head statement or reference facts by explicit names.
  1974 
  1975 * Document antiquotations @{class} and @{type} print classes and type
  1976 constructors.
  1977 
  1978 * Document antiquotation @{file} checks file/directory entries within
  1979 the local file system.
  1980 
  1981 
  1982 *** HOL ***
  1983 
  1984 * Coercive subtyping: functions can be declared as coercions and type
  1985 inference will add them as necessary upon input of a term.  Theory
  1986 Complex_Main declares real :: nat => real and real :: int => real as
  1987 coercions. A coercion function f is declared like this:
  1988 
  1989   declare [[coercion f]]
  1990 
  1991 To lift coercions through type constructors (e.g. from nat => real to
  1992 nat list => real list), map functions can be declared, e.g.
  1993 
  1994   declare [[coercion_map map]]
  1995 
  1996 Currently coercion inference is activated only in theories including
  1997 real numbers, i.e. descendants of Complex_Main.  This is controlled by
  1998 the configuration option "coercion_enabled", e.g. it can be enabled in
  1999 other theories like this:
  2000 
  2001   declare [[coercion_enabled]]
  2002 
  2003 * Command 'partial_function' provides basic support for recursive
  2004 function definitions over complete partial orders.  Concrete instances
  2005 are provided for i) the option type, ii) tail recursion on arbitrary
  2006 types, and iii) the heap monad of Imperative_HOL.  See
  2007 src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy and src/HOL/Imperative_HOL/ex/Linked_Lists.thy
  2008 for examples.
  2009 
  2010 * Function package: f.psimps rules are no longer implicitly declared
  2011 as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2012 
  2013 * Datatype package: theorems generated for executable equality (class
  2014 "eq") carry proper names and are treated as default code equations.
  2015 
  2016 * Inductive package: now offers command 'inductive_simps' to
  2017 automatically derive instantiated and simplified equations for
  2018 inductive predicates, similar to 'inductive_cases'.
  2019 
  2020 * Command 'enriched_type' allows to register properties of the
  2021 functorial structure of types.
  2022 
  2023 * Improved infrastructure for term evaluation using code generator
  2024 techniques, in particular static evaluation conversions.
  2025 
  2026 * Code generator: Scala (2.8 or higher) has been added to the target
  2027 languages.
  2028 
  2029 * Code generator: globbing constant expressions "*" and "Theory.*"
  2030 have been replaced by the more idiomatic "_" and "Theory._".
  2031 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2032 
  2033 * Code generator: export_code without explicit file declaration prints
  2034 to standard output.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2035 
  2036 * Code generator: do not print function definitions for case
  2037 combinators any longer.
  2038 
  2039 * Code generator: simplification with rules determined with
  2040 src/Tools/Code/code_simp.ML and method "code_simp".
  2041 
  2042 * Code generator for records: more idiomatic representation of record
  2043 types.  Warning: records are not covered by ancient SML code
  2044 generation any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  In cases of need, a suitable
  2045 rep_datatype declaration helps to succeed then:
  2046 
  2047   record 'a foo = ...
  2048   ...
  2049   rep_datatype foo_ext ...
  2050 
  2051 * Records: logical foundation type for records does not carry a
  2052 '_type' suffix any longer (obsolete due to authentic syntax).
  2053 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2054 
  2055 * Quickcheck now by default uses exhaustive testing instead of random
  2056 testing.  Random testing can be invoked by "quickcheck [random]",
  2057 exhaustive testing by "quickcheck [exhaustive]".
  2058 
  2059 * Quickcheck instantiates polymorphic types with small finite
  2060 datatypes by default. This enables a simple execution mechanism to
  2061 handle quantifiers and function equality over the finite datatypes.
  2062 
  2063 * Quickcheck random generator has been renamed from "code" to
  2064 "random".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2065 
  2066 * Quickcheck now has a configurable time limit which is set to 30
  2067 seconds by default. This can be changed by adding [timeout = n] to the
  2068 quickcheck command. The time limit for Auto Quickcheck is still set
  2069 independently.
  2070 
  2071 * Quickcheck in locales considers interpretations of that locale for
  2072 counter example search.
  2073 
  2074 * Sledgehammer:
  2075   - Added "smt" and "remote_smt" provers based on the "smt" proof
  2076     method. See the Sledgehammer manual for details ("isabelle doc
  2077     sledgehammer").
  2078   - Renamed commands:
  2079     sledgehammer atp_info ~> sledgehammer running_provers
  2080     sledgehammer atp_kill ~> sledgehammer kill_provers
  2081     sledgehammer available_atps ~> sledgehammer available_provers
  2082     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2083   - Renamed options:
  2084     sledgehammer [atps = ...] ~> sledgehammer [provers = ...]
  2085     sledgehammer [atp = ...] ~> sledgehammer [prover = ...]
  2086     sledgehammer [timeout = 77 s] ~> sledgehammer [timeout = 77]
  2087     (and "ms" and "min" are no longer supported)
  2088     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2089 
  2090 * Nitpick:
  2091   - Renamed options:
  2092     nitpick [timeout = 77 s] ~> nitpick [timeout = 77]
  2093     nitpick [tac_timeout = 777 ms] ~> nitpick [tac_timeout = 0.777]
  2094     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2095   - Added support for partial quotient types.
  2096   - Added local versions of the "Nitpick.register_xxx" functions.
  2097   - Added "whack" option.
  2098   - Allow registration of quotient types as codatatypes.
  2099   - Improved "merge_type_vars" option to merge more types.
  2100   - Removed unsound "fast_descrs" option.
  2101   - Added custom symmetry breaking for datatypes, making it possible to reach
  2102     higher cardinalities.
  2103   - Prevent the expansion of too large definitions.
  2104 
  2105 * Proof methods "metis" and "meson" now have configuration options
  2106 "meson_trace", "metis_trace", and "metis_verbose" that can be enabled
  2107 to diagnose these tools. E.g.
  2108 
  2109     using [[metis_trace = true]]
  2110 
  2111 * Auto Solve: Renamed "Auto Solve Direct".  The tool is now available
  2112 manually as command 'solve_direct'.
  2113 
  2114 * The default SMT solver Z3 must be enabled explicitly (due to
  2115 licensing issues) by setting the environment variable
  2116 Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL in etc/settings of the component, for example.  For
  2117 commercial applications, the SMT solver CVC3 is provided as fall-back;
  2118 changing the SMT solver is done via the configuration option
  2119 "smt_solver".
  2120 
  2121 * Remote SMT solvers need to be referred to by the "remote_" prefix,
  2122 i.e. "remote_cvc3" and "remote_z3".
  2123 
  2124 * Added basic SMT support for datatypes, records, and typedefs using
  2125 the oracle mode (no proofs).  Direct support of pairs has been dropped
  2126 in exchange (pass theorems fst_conv snd_conv pair_collapse to the SMT
  2127 support for a similar behavior).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2128 
  2129 * Changed SMT configuration options:
  2130   - Renamed:
  2131     z3_proofs ~> smt_oracle (with inverted meaning)
  2132     z3_trace_assms ~> smt_trace_used_facts
  2133     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2134   - Added:
  2135     smt_verbose
  2136     smt_random_seed
  2137     smt_datatypes
  2138     smt_infer_triggers
  2139     smt_monomorph_limit
  2140     cvc3_options
  2141     remote_cvc3_options
  2142     remote_z3_options
  2143     yices_options
  2144 
  2145 * Boogie output files (.b2i files) need to be declared in the theory
  2146 header.
  2147 
  2148 * Simplification procedure "list_to_set_comprehension" rewrites list
  2149 comprehensions applied to List.set to set comprehensions.  Occasional
  2150 INCOMPATIBILITY, may be deactivated like this:
  2151 
  2152   declare [[simproc del: list_to_set_comprehension]]
  2153 
  2154 * Removed old version of primrec package.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2155 
  2156 * Removed simplifier congruence rule of "prod_case", as has for long
  2157 been the case with "split".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2158 
  2159 * String.literal is a type, but not a datatype.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2160 
  2161 * Removed [split_format ... and ... and ...] version of
  2162 [split_format].  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2163 
  2164 * Predicate "sorted" now defined inductively, with nice induction
  2165 rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY: former sorted.simps now named sorted_simps.
  2166 
  2167 * Constant "contents" renamed to "the_elem", to free the generic name
  2168 contents for other uses.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2169 
  2170 * Renamed class eq and constant eq (for code generation) to class
  2171 equal and constant equal, plus renaming of related facts and various
  2172 tuning.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2173 
  2174 * Dropped type classes mult_mono and mult_mono1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2175 
  2176 * Removed output syntax "'a ~=> 'b" for "'a => 'b option".
  2177 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2178 
  2179 * Renamed theory Fset to Cset, type Fset.fset to Cset.set, in order to
  2180 avoid confusion with finite sets.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2181 
  2182 * Abandoned locales equiv, congruent and congruent2 for equivalence
  2183 relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use equivI rather than equiv_intro (same
  2184 for congruent(2)).
  2185 
  2186 * Some previously unqualified names have been qualified:
  2187 
  2188   types
  2189     bool ~> HOL.bool
  2190     nat ~> Nat.nat
  2191 
  2192   constants
  2193     Trueprop ~> HOL.Trueprop
  2194     True ~> HOL.True
  2195     False ~> HOL.False
  2196     op & ~> HOL.conj
  2197     op | ~> HOL.disj
  2198     op --> ~> HOL.implies
  2199     op = ~> HOL.eq
  2200     Not ~> HOL.Not
  2201     The ~> HOL.The
  2202     All ~> HOL.All
  2203     Ex ~> HOL.Ex
  2204     Ex1 ~> HOL.Ex1
  2205     Let ~> HOL.Let
  2206     If ~> HOL.If
  2207     Ball ~> Set.Ball
  2208     Bex ~> Set.Bex
  2209     Suc ~> Nat.Suc
  2210     Pair ~> Product_Type.Pair
  2211     fst ~> Product_Type.fst
  2212     snd ~> Product_Type.snd
  2213     curry ~> Product_Type.curry
  2214     op : ~> Set.member
  2215     Collect ~> Set.Collect
  2216 
  2217 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2218 
  2219 * More canonical naming convention for some fundamental definitions:
  2220 
  2221     bot_bool_eq ~> bot_bool_def
  2222     top_bool_eq ~> top_bool_def
  2223     inf_bool_eq ~> inf_bool_def
  2224     sup_bool_eq ~> sup_bool_def
  2225     bot_fun_eq  ~> bot_fun_def
  2226     top_fun_eq  ~> top_fun_def
  2227     inf_fun_eq  ~> inf_fun_def
  2228     sup_fun_eq  ~> sup_fun_def
  2229 
  2230 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2231 
  2232 * More stylized fact names:
  2233 
  2234   expand_fun_eq ~> fun_eq_iff
  2235   expand_set_eq ~> set_eq_iff
  2236   set_ext       ~> set_eqI
  2237   nat_number    ~> eval_nat_numeral
  2238 
  2239 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2240 
  2241 * Refactoring of code-generation specific operations in theory List:
  2242 
  2243   constants
  2244     null ~> List.null
  2245 
  2246   facts
  2247     mem_iff ~> member_def
  2248     null_empty ~> null_def
  2249 
  2250 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that these were not supposed to be used
  2251 regularly unless for striking reasons; their main purpose was code
  2252 generation.
  2253 
  2254 Various operations from the Haskell prelude are used for generating
  2255 Haskell code.
  2256 
  2257 * Term "bij f" is now an abbreviation of "bij_betw f UNIV UNIV".  Term
  2258 "surj f" is now an abbreviation of "range f = UNIV".  The theorems
  2259 bij_def and surj_def are unchanged.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2260 
  2261 * Abolished some non-alphabetic type names: "prod" and "sum" replace
  2262 "*" and "+" respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2263 
  2264 * Name "Plus" of disjoint sum operator "<+>" is now hidden.  Write
  2265 "Sum_Type.Plus" instead.
  2266 
  2267 * Constant "split" has been merged with constant "prod_case"; names of
  2268 ML functions, facts etc. involving split have been retained so far,
  2269 though.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2270 
  2271 * Dropped old infix syntax "_ mem _" for List.member; use "_ : set _"
  2272 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2273 
  2274 * Removed lemma "Option.is_none_none" which duplicates "is_none_def".
  2275 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2276 
  2277 * Former theory Library/Enum is now part of the HOL-Main image.
  2278 INCOMPATIBILITY: all constants of the Enum theory now have to be
  2279 referred to by its qualified name.
  2280 
  2281   enum    ~>  Enum.enum
  2282   nlists  ~>  Enum.nlists
  2283   product ~>  Enum.product
  2284 
  2285 * Theory Library/Monad_Syntax provides do-syntax for monad types.
  2286 Syntax in Library/State_Monad has been changed to avoid ambiguities.
  2287 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2288 
  2289 * Theory Library/SetsAndFunctions has been split into
  2290 Library/Function_Algebras and Library/Set_Algebras; canonical names
  2291 for instance definitions for functions; various improvements.
  2292 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2293 
  2294 * Theory Library/Multiset provides stable quicksort implementation of
  2295 sort_key.
  2296 
  2297 * Theory Library/Multiset: renamed empty_idemp ~> empty_neutral.
  2298 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2299 
  2300 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: introduced a type class for euclidean
  2301 space.  Most theorems are now stated in terms of euclidean spaces
  2302 instead of finite cartesian products.
  2303 
  2304   types
  2305     real ^ 'n ~>  'a::real_vector
  2306               ~>  'a::euclidean_space
  2307               ~>  'a::ordered_euclidean_space
  2308         (depends on your needs)
  2309 
  2310   constants
  2311      _ $ _        ~> _ $$ _
  2312      \<chi> x. _  ~> \<chi>\<chi> x. _
  2313      CARD('n)     ~> DIM('a)
  2314 
  2315 Also note that the indices are now natural numbers and not from some
  2316 finite type. Finite cartesian products of euclidean spaces, products
  2317 of euclidean spaces the real and complex numbers are instantiated to
  2318 be euclidean_spaces.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2319 
  2320 * Session Probability: introduced pextreal as positive extended real
  2321 numbers.  Use pextreal as value for measures.  Introduce the
  2322 Radon-Nikodym derivative, product spaces and Fubini's theorem for
  2323 arbitrary sigma finite measures.  Introduces Lebesgue measure based on
  2324 the integral in Multivariate Analysis.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2325 
  2326 * Session Imperative_HOL: revamped, corrected dozens of inadequacies.
  2327 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2328 
  2329 * Session SPARK (with image HOL-SPARK) provides commands to load and
  2330 prove verification conditions generated by the SPARK Ada program
  2331 verifier.  See also src/HOL/SPARK and src/HOL/SPARK/Examples.
  2332 
  2333 
  2334 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  2335 
  2336 * Theorems for additive ring operations (locale abelian_monoid and
  2337 descendants) are generated by interpretation from their multiplicative
  2338 counterparts.  Names (in particular theorem names) have the mandatory
  2339 qualifier 'add'.  Previous theorem names are redeclared for
  2340 compatibility.
  2341 
  2342 * Structure "int_ring" is now an abbreviation (previously a
  2343 definition).  This fits more natural with advanced interpretations.
  2344 
  2345 
  2346 *** HOLCF ***
  2347 
  2348 * The domain package now runs in definitional mode by default: The
  2349 former command 'new_domain' is now called 'domain'.  To use the domain
  2350 package in its original axiomatic mode, use 'domain (unsafe)'.
  2351 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2352 
  2353 * The new class "domain" is now the default sort.  Class "predomain"
  2354 is an unpointed version of "domain". Theories can be updated by
  2355 replacing sort annotations as shown below.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2356 
  2357   'a::type ~> 'a::countable
  2358   'a::cpo  ~> 'a::predomain
  2359   'a::pcpo ~> 'a::domain
  2360 
  2361 * The old type class "rep" has been superseded by class "domain".
  2362 Accordingly, users of the definitional package must remove any
  2363 "default_sort rep" declarations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2364 
  2365 * The domain package (definitional mode) now supports unpointed
  2366 predomain argument types, as long as they are marked 'lazy'. (Strict
  2367 arguments must be in class "domain".) For example, the following
  2368 domain definition now works:
  2369 
  2370   domain natlist = nil | cons (lazy "nat discr") (lazy "natlist")
  2371 
  2372 * Theory HOLCF/Library/HOL_Cpo provides cpo and predomain class
  2373 instances for types from main HOL: bool, nat, int, char, 'a + 'b,
  2374 'a option, and 'a list.  Additionally, it configures fixrec and the
  2375 domain package to work with these types.  For example:
  2376 
  2377   fixrec isInl :: "('a + 'b) u -> tr"
  2378     where "isInl$(up$(Inl x)) = TT" | "isInl$(up$(Inr y)) = FF"
  2379 
  2380   domain V = VFun (lazy "V -> V") | VCon (lazy "nat") (lazy "V list")
  2381 
  2382 * The "(permissive)" option of fixrec has been replaced with a
  2383 per-equation "(unchecked)" option. See
  2384 src/HOL/HOLCF/Tutorial/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2385 
  2386 * The "bifinite" class no longer fixes a constant "approx"; the class
  2387 now just asserts that such a function exists.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2388 
  2389 * Former type "alg_defl" has been renamed to "defl".  HOLCF no longer
  2390 defines an embedding of type 'a defl into udom by default; instances
  2391 of "bifinite" and "domain" classes are available in
  2392 src/HOL/HOLCF/Library/Defl_Bifinite.thy.
  2393 
  2394 * The syntax "REP('a)" has been replaced with "DEFL('a)".
  2395 
  2396 * The predicate "directed" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2397 
  2398 * The type class "finite_po" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2399 
  2400 * The function "cprod_map" has been renamed to "prod_map".
  2401 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2402 
  2403 * The monadic bind operator on each powerdomain has new binder syntax
  2404 similar to sets, e.g. "\<Union>\<sharp>x\<in>xs. t" represents
  2405 "upper_bind\<cdot>xs\<cdot>(\<Lambda> x. t)".
  2406 
  2407 * The infix syntax for binary union on each powerdomain has changed
  2408 from e.g. "+\<sharp>" to "\<union>\<sharp>", for consistency with set
  2409 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2410 
  2411 * The constant "UU" has been renamed to "bottom".  The syntax "UU" is
  2412 still supported as an input translation.
  2413 
  2414 * Renamed some theorems (the original names are also still available).
  2415 
  2416   expand_fun_below   ~> fun_below_iff
  2417   below_fun_ext      ~> fun_belowI
  2418   expand_cfun_eq     ~> cfun_eq_iff
  2419   ext_cfun           ~> cfun_eqI
  2420   expand_cfun_below  ~> cfun_below_iff
  2421   below_cfun_ext     ~> cfun_belowI
  2422   cont2cont_Rep_CFun ~> cont2cont_APP
  2423 
  2424 * The Abs and Rep functions for various types have changed names.
  2425 Related theorem names have also changed to match. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2426 
  2427   Rep_CFun  ~> Rep_cfun
  2428   Abs_CFun  ~> Abs_cfun
  2429   Rep_Sprod ~> Rep_sprod
  2430   Abs_Sprod ~> Abs_sprod
  2431   Rep_Ssum  ~> Rep_ssum
  2432   Abs_Ssum  ~> Abs_ssum
  2433 
  2434 * Lemmas with names of the form *_defined_iff or *_strict_iff have
  2435 been renamed to *_bottom_iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2436 
  2437 * Various changes to bisimulation/coinduction with domain package:
  2438 
  2439   - Definitions of "bisim" constants no longer mention definedness.
  2440   - With mutual recursion, "bisim" predicate is now curried.
  2441   - With mutual recursion, each type gets a separate coind theorem.
  2442   - Variable names in bisim_def and coinduct rules have changed.
  2443 
  2444 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2445 
  2446 * Case combinators generated by the domain package for type "foo" are
  2447 now named "foo_case" instead of "foo_when".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2448 
  2449 * Several theorems have been renamed to more accurately reflect the
  2450 names of constants and types involved.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2522 *** FOL and ZF ***
  2523 
  2524 * All constant names are now qualified internally and use proper
  2525 identifiers, e.g. "IFOL.eq" instead of "op =".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2526 
  2527 
  2528 *** ML ***
  2529 
  2530 * Antiquotation @{assert} inlines a function bool -> unit that raises
  2531 Fail if the argument is false.  Due to inlining the source position of
  2532 failed assertions is included in the error output.
  2533 
  2534 * Discontinued antiquotation @{theory_ref}, which is obsolete since ML
  2535 text is in practice always evaluated with a stable theory checkpoint.
  2536 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use (Theory.check_thy @{theory}) instead.
  2537 
  2538 * Antiquotation @{theory A} refers to theory A from the ancestry of
  2539 the current context, not any accidental theory loader state as before.
  2540 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, subtle change in semantics.
  2541 
  2542 * Syntax.pretty_priority (default 0) configures the required priority
  2543 of pretty-printed output and thus affects insertion of parentheses.
  2544 
  2545 * Syntax.default_root (default "any") configures the inner syntax
  2546 category (nonterminal symbol) for parsing of terms.
  2547 
  2548 * Former exception Library.UnequalLengths now coincides with
  2549 ListPair.UnequalLengths.
  2550 
  2551 * Renamed structure MetaSimplifier to Raw_Simplifier.  Note that the
  2552 main functionality is provided by structure Simplifier.
  2553 
  2554 * Renamed raw "explode" function to "raw_explode" to emphasize its
  2555 meaning.  Note that internally to Isabelle, Symbol.explode is used in
  2556 almost all situations.
  2557 
  2558 * Discontinued obsolete function sys_error and exception SYS_ERROR.
  2559 See implementation manual for further details on exceptions in
  2560 Isabelle/ML.
  2561 
  2562 * Renamed setmp_noncritical to Unsynchronized.setmp to emphasize its
  2563 meaning.
  2564 
  2565 * Renamed structure PureThy to Pure_Thy and moved most of its
  2566 operations to structure Global_Theory, to emphasize that this is
  2567 rarely-used global-only stuff.
  2568 
  2569 * Discontinued Output.debug.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use plain writeln
  2570 instead (or tracing for high-volume output).
  2571 
  2572 * Configuration option show_question_marks only affects regular pretty
  2573 printing of types and terms, not raw Term.string_of_vname.
  2574 
  2575 * ML_Context.thm and ML_Context.thms are no longer pervasive.  Rare
  2576 INCOMPATIBILITY, superseded by static antiquotations @{thm} and
  2577 @{thms} for most purposes.
  2578 
  2579 * ML structure Unsynchronized is never opened, not even in Isar
  2580 interaction mode as before.  Old Unsynchronized.set etc. have been
  2581 discontinued -- use plain := instead.  This should be *rare* anyway,
  2582 since modern tools always work via official context data, notably
  2583 configuration options.
  2584 
  2585 * Parallel and asynchronous execution requires special care concerning
  2586 interrupts.  Structure Exn provides some convenience functions that
  2587 avoid working directly with raw Interrupt.  User code must not absorb
  2588 interrupts -- intermediate handling (for cleanup etc.) needs to be
  2589 followed by re-raising of the original exception.  Another common
  2590 source of mistakes are "handle _" patterns, which make the meaning of
  2591 the program subject to physical effects of the environment.
  2592 
  2593 
  2594 
  2595 New in Isabelle2009-2 (June 2010)
  2596 ---------------------------------
  2597 
  2598 *** General ***
  2599 
  2600 * Authentic syntax for *all* logical entities (type classes, type
  2601 constructors, term constants): provides simple and robust
  2602 correspondence between formal entities and concrete syntax.  Within
  2603 the parse tree / AST representations, "constants" are decorated by
  2604 their category (class, type, const) and spelled out explicitly with
  2605 their full internal name.
  2606 
  2607 Substantial INCOMPATIBILITY concerning low-level syntax declarations
  2608 and translations (translation rules and translation functions in ML).
  2609 Some hints on upgrading:
  2610 
  2611   - Many existing uses of 'syntax' and 'translations' can be replaced
  2612     by more modern 'type_notation', 'notation' and 'abbreviation',
  2613     which are independent of this issue.
  2614 
  2615   - 'translations' require markup within the AST; the term syntax
  2616     provides the following special forms:
  2617 
  2618       CONST c   -- produces syntax version of constant c from context
  2619       XCONST c  -- literally c, checked as constant from context
  2620       c         -- literally c, if declared by 'syntax'
  2621 
  2622     Plain identifiers are treated as AST variables -- occasionally the
  2623     system indicates accidental variables via the error "rhs contains
  2624     extra variables".
  2625 
  2626     Type classes and type constructors are marked according to their
  2627     concrete syntax.  Some old translations rules need to be written
  2628     for the "type" category, using type constructor application
  2629     instead of pseudo-term application of the default category
  2630     "logic".
  2631 
  2632   - 'parse_translation' etc. in ML may use the following
  2633     antiquotations:
  2634 
  2635       @{class_syntax c}   -- type class c within parse tree / AST
  2636       @{term_syntax c}    -- type constructor c within parse tree / AST
  2637       @{const_syntax c}   -- ML version of "CONST c" above
  2638       @{syntax_const c}   -- literally c (checked wrt. 'syntax' declarations)
  2639 
  2640   - Literal types within 'typed_print_translations', i.e. those *not*
  2641     represented as pseudo-terms are represented verbatim.  Use @{class
  2642     c} or @{type_name c} here instead of the above syntax
  2643     antiquotations.
  2644 
  2645 Note that old non-authentic syntax was based on unqualified base
  2646 names, so all of the above "constant" names would coincide.  Recall
  2647 that 'print_syntax' and ML_command "set Syntax.trace_ast" help to
  2648 diagnose syntax problems.
  2649 
  2650 * Type constructors admit general mixfix syntax, not just infix.
  2651 
  2652 * Concrete syntax may be attached to local entities without a proof
  2653 body, too.  This works via regular mixfix annotations for 'fix',
  2654 'def', 'obtain' etc. or via the explicit 'write' command, which is
  2655 similar to the 'notation' command in theory specifications.
  2656 
  2657 * Discontinued unnamed infix syntax (legacy feature for many years) --
  2658 need to specify constant name and syntax separately.  Internal ML
  2659 datatype constructors have been renamed from InfixName to Infix etc.
  2660 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2661 
  2662 * Schematic theorem statements need to be explicitly markup as such,
  2663 via commands 'schematic_lemma', 'schematic_theorem',
  2664 'schematic_corollary'.  Thus the relevance of the proof is made
  2665 syntactically clear, which impacts performance in a parallel or
  2666 asynchronous interactive environment.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2667 
  2668 * Use of cumulative prems via "!" in some proof methods has been
  2669 discontinued (old legacy feature).
  2670 
  2671 * References 'trace_simp' and 'debug_simp' have been replaced by
  2672 configuration options stored in the context. Enabling tracing (the
  2673 case of debugging is similar) in proofs works via
  2674 
  2675   using [[trace_simp = true]]
  2676 
  2677 Tracing is then active for all invocations of the simplifier in
  2678 subsequent goal refinement steps. Tracing may also still be enabled or
  2679 disabled via the ProofGeneral settings menu.
  2680 
  2681 * Separate commands 'hide_class', 'hide_type', 'hide_const',
  2682 'hide_fact' replace the former 'hide' KIND command.  Minor
  2683 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2684 
  2685 * Improved parallelism of proof term normalization: usedir -p2 -q0 is
  2686 more efficient than combinations with -q1 or -q2.
  2687 
  2688 
  2689 *** Pure ***
  2690 
  2691 * Proofterms record type-class reasoning explicitly, using the
  2692 "unconstrain" operation internally.  This eliminates all sort
  2693 constraints from a theorem and proof, introducing explicit
  2694 OFCLASS-premises.  On the proof term level, this operation is
  2695 automatically applied at theorem boundaries, such that closed proofs
  2696 are always free of sort constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools that
  2697 inspect proof terms.
  2698 
  2699 * Local theory specifications may depend on extra type variables that
  2700 are not present in the result type -- arguments TYPE('a) :: 'a itself
  2701 are added internally.  For example:
  2702 
  2703   definition unitary :: bool where "unitary = (ALL (x::'a) y. x = y)"
  2704 
  2705 * Predicates of locales introduced by classes carry a mandatory
  2706 "class" prefix.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2707 
  2708 * Vacuous class specifications observe default sort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2709 
  2710 * Old 'axclass' command has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  2711 'class' instead.
  2712 
  2713 * Command 'code_reflect' allows to incorporate generated ML code into
  2714 runtime environment; replaces immature code_datatype antiquotation.
  2715 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2716 
  2717 * Code generator: simple concept for abstract datatypes obeying
  2718 invariants.
  2719 
  2720 * Code generator: details of internal data cache have no impact on the
  2721 user space functionality any longer.
  2722 
  2723 * Methods "unfold_locales" and "intro_locales" ignore non-locale
  2724 subgoals.  This is more appropriate for interpretations with 'where'.
  2725 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2726 
  2727 * Command 'example_proof' opens an empty proof body.  This allows to
  2728 experiment with Isar, without producing any persistent result.
  2729 
  2730 * Commands 'type_notation' and 'no_type_notation' declare type syntax
  2731 within a local theory context, with explicit checking of the
  2732 constructors involved (in contrast to the raw 'syntax' versions).
  2733 
  2734 * Commands 'types' and 'typedecl' now work within a local theory
  2735 context -- without introducing dependencies on parameters or
  2736 assumptions, which is not possible in Isabelle/Pure.
  2737 
  2738 * Command 'defaultsort' has been renamed to 'default_sort', it works
  2739 within a local theory context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2740 
  2741 
  2742 *** HOL ***
  2743 
  2744 * Command 'typedef' now works within a local theory context -- without
  2745 introducing dependencies on parameters or assumptions, which is not
  2746 possible in Isabelle/Pure/HOL.  Note that the logical environment may
  2747 contain multiple interpretations of local typedefs (with different
  2748 non-emptiness proofs), even in a global theory context.
  2749 
  2750 * New package for quotient types.  Commands 'quotient_type' and
  2751 'quotient_definition' may be used for defining types and constants by
  2752 quotient constructions.  An example is the type of integers created by
  2753 quotienting pairs of natural numbers:
  2754 
  2755   fun
  2756     intrel :: "(nat * nat) => (nat * nat) => bool"
  2757   where
  2758     "intrel (x, y) (u, v) = (x + v = u + y)"
  2759 
  2760   quotient_type int = "nat * nat" / intrel
  2761     by (auto simp add: equivp_def expand_fun_eq)
  2762 
  2763   quotient_definition
  2764     "0::int" is "(0::nat, 0::nat)"
  2765 
  2766 The method "lifting" can be used to lift of theorems from the
  2767 underlying "raw" type to the quotient type.  The example
  2768 src/HOL/Quotient_Examples/FSet.thy includes such a quotient
  2769 construction and provides a reasoning infrastructure for finite sets.
  2770 
  2771 * Renamed Library/Quotient.thy to Library/Quotient_Type.thy to avoid
  2772 clash with new theory Quotient in Main HOL.
  2773 
  2774 * Moved the SMT binding into the main HOL session, eliminating
  2775 separate HOL-SMT session.
  2776 
  2777 * List membership infix mem operation is only an input abbreviation.
  2778 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2779 
  2780 * Theory Library/Word.thy has been removed.  Use library Word/Word.thy
  2781 for future developements; former Library/Word.thy is still present in
  2782 the AFP entry RSAPPS.
  2783 
  2784 * Theorem Int.int_induct renamed to Int.int_of_nat_induct and is no
  2785 longer shadowed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2786 
  2787 * Dropped theorem duplicate comp_arith; use semiring_norm instead.
  2788 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2789 
  2790 * Dropped theorem RealPow.real_sq_order; use power2_le_imp_le instead.
  2791 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2792 
  2793 * Dropped normalizing_semiring etc; use the facts in semiring classes
  2794 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2795 
  2796 * Dropped several real-specific versions of lemmas about floor and
  2797 ceiling; use the generic lemmas from theory "Archimedean_Field"
  2798 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2831 * Theory "Finite_Set": various folding_XXX locales facilitate the
  2832 application of the various fold combinators on finite sets.
  2833 
  2834 * Library theory "RBT" renamed to "RBT_Impl"; new library theory "RBT"
  2835 provides abstract red-black tree type which is backed by "RBT_Impl" as
  2836 implementation.  INCOMPATIBILTY.
  2837 
  2838 * Theory Library/Coinductive_List has been removed -- superseded by
  2839 AFP/thys/Coinductive.
  2840 
  2841 * Theory PReal, including the type "preal" and related operations, has
  2842 been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2843 
  2844 * Real: new development using Cauchy Sequences.
  2845 
  2846 * Split off theory "Big_Operators" containing setsum, setprod,
  2847 Inf_fin, Sup_fin, Min, Max from theory Finite_Set.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2848 
  2849 * Theory "Rational" renamed to "Rat", for consistency with "Nat",
  2850 "Int" etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2851 
  2852 * Constant Rat.normalize needs to be qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2853 
  2854 * New set of rules "ac_simps" provides combined assoc / commute
  2855 rewrites for all interpretations of the appropriate generic locales.
  2856 
  2857 * Renamed theory "OrderedGroup" to "Groups" and split theory
  2858 "Ring_and_Field" into theories "Rings" and "Fields"; for more
  2859 appropriate and more consistent names suitable for name prefixes
  2860 within the HOL theories.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2861 
  2862 * Some generic constants have been put to appropriate theories:
  2863   - less_eq, less: Orderings
  2864   - zero, one, plus, minus, uminus, times, abs, sgn: Groups
  2865   - inverse, divide: Rings
  2866 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2867 
  2868 * More consistent naming of type classes involving orderings (and
  2869 lattices):
  2870 
  2871     lower_semilattice                   ~> semilattice_inf

  2908 
  2909   The following slightly odd type classes have been moved to a
  2910   separate theory Library/Lattice_Algebras:
  2911 
  2912     lordered_ab_group_add               ~> lattice_ab_group_add
  2913     lordered_ab_group_add_abs           ~> lattice_ab_group_add_abs
  2914     lordered_ab_group_add_meet          ~> semilattice_inf_ab_group_add
  2915     lordered_ab_group_add_join          ~> semilattice_sup_ab_group_add
  2916     lordered_ring                       ~> lattice_ring
  2917 
  2918 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2919 
  2920 * Refined field classes:
  2921   - classes division_ring_inverse_zero, field_inverse_zero,
  2922     linordered_field_inverse_zero include rule inverse 0 = 0 --
  2923     subsumes former division_by_zero class;
  2924   - numerous lemmas have been ported from field to division_ring.
  2925 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2926 
  2927 * Refined algebra theorem collections:
  2928   - dropped theorem group group_simps, use algebra_simps instead;
  2929   - dropped theorem group ring_simps, use field_simps instead;
  2930   - proper theorem collection field_simps subsumes former theorem
  2931     groups field_eq_simps and field_simps;
  2932   - dropped lemma eq_minus_self_iff which is a duplicate for
  2933     equal_neg_zero.
  2934 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2935 
  2936 * Theory Finite_Set and List: some lemmas have been generalized from
  2937 sets to lattices:
  2938 
  2939   fun_left_comm_idem_inter      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_inf
  2940   fun_left_comm_idem_union      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_sup
  2941   inter_Inter_fold_inter        ~> inf_Inf_fold_inf
  2942   union_Union_fold_union        ~> sup_Sup_fold_sup
  2943   Inter_fold_inter              ~> Inf_fold_inf
  2944   Union_fold_union              ~> Sup_fold_sup
  2945   inter_INTER_fold_inter        ~> inf_INFI_fold_inf
  2946   union_UNION_fold_union        ~> sup_SUPR_fold_sup
  2947   INTER_fold_inter              ~> INFI_fold_inf
  2948   UNION_fold_union              ~> SUPR_fold_sup
  2949 
  2950 * Theory "Complete_Lattice": lemmas top_def and bot_def have been
  2951 replaced by the more convenient lemmas Inf_empty and Sup_empty.
  2952 Dropped lemmas Inf_insert_simp and Sup_insert_simp, which are subsumed
  2953 by Inf_insert and Sup_insert.  Lemmas Inf_UNIV and Sup_UNIV replace
  2954 former Inf_Univ and Sup_Univ.  Lemmas inf_top_right and sup_bot_right
  2955 subsume inf_top and sup_bot respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2956 
  2957 * Reorganized theory Multiset: swapped notation of pointwise and
  2958 multiset order:
  2959 
  2960   - pointwise ordering is instance of class order with standard syntax
  2961     <= and <;
  2962   - multiset ordering has syntax <=# and <#; partial order properties
  2963     are provided by means of interpretation with prefix
  2964     multiset_order;
  2965   - less duplication, less historical organization of sections,
  2966     conversion from associations lists to multisets, rudimentary code
  2967     generation;
  2968   - use insert_DiffM2 [symmetric] instead of elem_imp_eq_diff_union,
  2969     if needed.
  2970 
  2971 Renamed:
  2972 
  2973   multiset_eq_conv_count_eq  ~>  multiset_ext_iff
  2974   multi_count_ext  ~>  multiset_ext
  2975   diff_union_inverse2  ~>  diff_union_cancelR
  2976 
  2977 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2978 
  2979 * Theory Permutation: replaced local "remove" by List.remove1.
  2980 
  2981 * Code generation: ML and OCaml code is decorated with signatures.
  2982 
  2983 * Theory List: added transpose.
  2984 
  2985 * Library/Nat_Bijection.thy is a collection of bijective functions
  2986 between nat and other types, which supersedes the older libraries
  2987 Library/Nat_Int_Bij.thy and HOLCF/NatIso.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3017   Nat_Int_Bij.bij_int_to_nat_bij  ~> bij_int_decode
  3018 
  3019 * Sledgehammer:
  3020   - Renamed ATP commands:
  3021     atp_info     ~> sledgehammer running_atps
  3022     atp_kill     ~> sledgehammer kill_atps
  3023     atp_messages ~> sledgehammer messages
  3024     atp_minimize ~> sledgehammer minimize
  3025     print_atps   ~> sledgehammer available_atps
  3026     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3027   - Added user's manual ("isabelle doc sledgehammer").
  3028   - Added option syntax and "sledgehammer_params" to customize
  3029     Sledgehammer's behavior.  See the manual for details.
  3030   - Modified the Isar proof reconstruction code so that it produces
  3031     direct proofs rather than proofs by contradiction.  (This feature
  3032     is still experimental.)
  3033   - Made Isar proof reconstruction work for SPASS, remote ATPs, and in
  3034     full-typed mode.
  3035   - Added support for TPTP syntax for SPASS via the "spass_tptp" ATP.
  3036 
  3037 * Nitpick:
  3038   - Added and implemented "binary_ints" and "bits" options.
  3039   - Added "std" option and implemented support for nonstandard models.
  3040   - Added and implemented "finitize" option to improve the precision
  3041     of infinite datatypes based on a monotonicity analysis.
  3042   - Added support for quotient types.
  3043   - Added support for "specification" and "ax_specification"
  3044     constructs.
  3045   - Added support for local definitions (for "function" and
  3046     "termination" proofs).
  3047   - Added support for term postprocessors.
  3048   - Optimized "Multiset.multiset" and "FinFun.finfun".
  3049   - Improved efficiency of "destroy_constrs" optimization.
  3050   - Fixed soundness bugs related to "destroy_constrs" optimization and
  3051     record getters.
  3052   - Fixed soundness bug related to higher-order constructors.
  3053   - Fixed soundness bug when "full_descrs" is enabled.
  3054   - Improved precision of set constructs.
  3055   - Added "atoms" option.
  3056   - Added cache to speed up repeated Kodkod invocations on the same
  3057     problems.
  3058   - Renamed "MiniSatJNI", "zChaffJNI", "BerkMinAlloy", and
  3059     "SAT4JLight" to "MiniSat_JNI", "zChaff_JNI", "BerkMin_Alloy", and
  3060     "SAT4J_Light".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3061   - Removed "skolemize", "uncurry", "sym_break", "flatten_prop",
  3062     "sharing_depth", and "show_skolems" options.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3063   - Removed "nitpick_intro" attribute.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3064 
  3065 * Method "induct" now takes instantiations of the form t, where t is not
  3066   a variable, as a shorthand for "x == t", where x is a fresh variable.
  3067   If this is not intended, t has to be enclosed in parentheses.
  3068   By default, the equalities generated by definitional instantiations
  3069   are pre-simplified, which may cause parameters of inductive cases
  3070   to disappear, or may even delete some of the inductive cases.
  3071   Use "induct (no_simp)" instead of "induct" to restore the old
  3072   behaviour. The (no_simp) option is also understood by the "cases"
  3073   and "nominal_induct" methods, which now perform pre-simplification, too.
  3074   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3075 
  3076 
  3077 *** HOLCF ***
  3078 
  3079 * Variable names in lemmas generated by the domain package have
  3080 changed; the naming scheme is now consistent with the HOL datatype
  3081 package.  Some proof scripts may be affected, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3082 
  3083 * The domain package no longer defines the function "foo_copy" for
  3084 recursive domain "foo".  The reach lemma is now stated directly in
  3085 terms of "foo_take".  Lemmas and proofs that mention "foo_copy" must
  3086 be reformulated in terms of "foo_take", INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3087 
  3088 * Most definedness lemmas generated by the domain package (previously
  3089 of the form "x ~= UU ==> foo$x ~= UU") now have an if-and-only-if form
  3090 like "foo$x = UU <-> x = UU", which works better as a simp rule.
  3091 Proofs that used definedness lemmas as intro rules may break,
  3092 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3093 
  3094 * Induction and casedist rules generated by the domain package now
  3095 declare proper case_names (one called "bottom", and one named for each
  3096 constructor).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3097 
  3098 * For mutually-recursive domains, separate "reach" and "take_lemma"
  3099 rules are generated for each domain, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3100 
  3101   foo_bar.reach       ~> foo.reach  bar.reach
  3102   foo_bar.take_lemmas ~> foo.take_lemma  bar.take_lemma
  3103 
  3104 * Some lemmas generated by the domain package have been renamed for
  3105 consistency with the datatype package, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3106 
  3107   foo.ind        ~> foo.induct
  3108   foo.finite_ind ~> foo.finite_induct
  3109   foo.coind      ~> foo.coinduct
  3110   foo.casedist   ~> foo.exhaust
  3111   foo.exhaust    ~> foo.nchotomy
  3112 
  3113 * For consistency with other definition packages, the fixrec package
  3114 now generates qualified theorem names, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3115 
  3116   foo_simps  ~> foo.simps
  3117   foo_unfold ~> foo.unfold
  3118   foo_induct ~> foo.induct
  3119 
  3120 * The "fixrec_simp" attribute has been removed.  The "fixrec_simp"
  3121 method and internal fixrec proofs now use the default simpset instead.
  3122 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3123 
  3124 * The "contlub" predicate has been removed.  Proof scripts should use
  3125 lemma contI2 in place of monocontlub2cont, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3126 
  3127 * The "admw" predicate has been removed, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3128 
  3129 * The constants cpair, cfst, and csnd have been removed in favor of
  3130 Pair, fst, and snd from Isabelle/HOL, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3131 
  3132 
  3133 *** ML ***
  3134 
  3135 * Antiquotations for basic formal entities:
  3136 
  3137     @{class NAME}         -- type class
  3138     @{class_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of the above
  3139 
  3140     @{type_name NAME}     -- logical type
  3141     @{type_abbrev NAME}   -- type abbreviation
  3142     @{nonterminal NAME}   -- type of concrete syntactic category
  3143     @{type_syntax NAME}   -- syntax representation of any of the above
  3144 
  3145     @{const_name NAME}    -- logical constant (INCOMPATIBILITY)
  3146     @{const_abbrev NAME}  -- abbreviated constant
  3147     @{const_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of any of the above
  3148 
  3149 * Antiquotation @{syntax_const NAME} ensures that NAME refers to a raw
  3150 syntax constant (cf. 'syntax' command).
  3151 
  3152 * Antiquotation @{make_string} inlines a function to print arbitrary
  3153 values similar to the ML toplevel.  The result is compiler dependent
  3154 and may fall back on "?" in certain situations.
  3155 
  3156 * Diagnostic commands 'ML_val' and 'ML_command' may refer to
  3157 antiquotations @{Isar.state} and @{Isar.goal}.  This replaces impure
  3158 Isar.state() and Isar.goal(), which belong to the old TTY loop and do
  3159 not work with the asynchronous Isar document model.
  3160 
  3161 * Configuration options now admit dynamic default values, depending on
  3162 the context or even global references.
  3163 
  3164 * SHA1.digest digests strings according to SHA-1 (see RFC 3174).  It
  3165 uses an efficient external library if available (for Poly/ML).
  3166 
  3167 * Renamed some important ML structures, while keeping the old names
  3168 for some time as aliases within the structure Legacy:
  3169 
  3170   OuterKeyword  ~>  Keyword
  3171   OuterLex      ~>  Token
  3172   OuterParse    ~>  Parse
  3173   OuterSyntax   ~>  Outer_Syntax
  3174   PrintMode     ~>  Print_Mode
  3175   SpecParse     ~>  Parse_Spec
  3176   ThyInfo       ~>  Thy_Info
  3177   ThyLoad       ~>  Thy_Load
  3178   ThyOutput     ~>  Thy_Output
  3179   TypeInfer     ~>  Type_Infer
  3180 
  3181 Note that "open Legacy" simplifies porting of sources, but forgetting
  3182 to remove it again will complicate porting again in the future.
  3183 
  3184 * Most operations that refer to a global context are named
  3185 accordingly, e.g. Simplifier.global_context or
  3186 ProofContext.init_global.  There are some situations where a global
  3187 context actually works, but under normal circumstances one needs to
  3188 pass the proper local context through the code!
  3189 
  3190 * Discontinued old TheoryDataFun with its copy/init operation -- data
  3191 needs to be pure.  Functor Theory_Data_PP retains the traditional
  3192 Pretty.pp argument to merge, which is absent in the standard
  3193 Theory_Data version.
  3194 
  3195 * Sorts.certify_sort and derived "cert" operations for types and terms
  3196 no longer minimize sorts.  Thus certification at the boundary of the
  3197 inference kernel becomes invariant under addition of class relations,
  3198 which is an important monotonicity principle.  Sorts are now minimized
  3199 in the syntax layer only, at the boundary between the end-user and the
  3200 system.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY, may have to use Sign.minimize_sort
  3201 explicitly in rare situations.
  3202 
  3203 * Renamed old-style Drule.standard to Drule.export_without_context, to
  3204 emphasize that this is in no way a standard operation.
  3205 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3206 
  3207 * Subgoal.FOCUS (and variants): resulting goal state is normalized as
  3208 usual for resolution.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3209 
  3210 * Renamed varify/unvarify operations to varify_global/unvarify_global
  3211 to emphasize that these only work in a global situation (which is
  3212 quite rare).
  3213 
  3214 * Curried take and drop in library.ML; negative length is interpreted
  3215 as infinity (as in chop).  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3216 
  3217 * Proof terms: type substitutions on proof constants now use canonical
  3218 order of type variables.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools working with proof
  3219 terms.
  3220 
  3221 * Raw axioms/defs may no longer carry sort constraints, and raw defs
  3222 may no longer carry premises.  User-level specifications are
  3223 transformed accordingly by Thm.add_axiom/add_def.
  3224 
  3225 
  3226 *** System ***
  3227 
  3228 * Discontinued special HOL_USEDIR_OPTIONS for the main HOL image;
  3229 ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS applies uniformly to all sessions.  Note that
  3230 proof terms are enabled unconditionally in the new HOL-Proofs image.
  3231 
  3232 * Discontinued old ISABELLE and ISATOOL environment settings (legacy
  3233 feature since Isabelle2009).  Use ISABELLE_PROCESS and ISABELLE_TOOL,
  3234 respectively.
  3235 
  3236 * Old lib/scripts/polyml-platform is superseded by the
  3237 ISABELLE_PLATFORM setting variable, which defaults to the 32 bit
  3238 variant, even on a 64 bit machine.  The following example setting
  3239 prefers 64 bit if available:
  3240 
  3241   ML_PLATFORM="${ISABELLE_PLATFORM64:-$ISABELLE_PLATFORM}"
  3242 
  3243 * The preliminary Isabelle/jEdit application demonstrates the emerging
  3244 Isabelle/Scala layer for advanced prover interaction and integration.
  3245 See src/Tools/jEdit or "isabelle jedit" provided by the properly built
  3246 component.
  3247 
  3248 * "IsabelleText" is a Unicode font derived from Bitstream Vera Mono
  3249 and Bluesky TeX fonts.  It provides the usual Isabelle symbols,
  3250 similar to the default assignment of the document preparation system
  3251 (cf. isabellesym.sty).  The Isabelle/Scala class Isabelle_System
  3252 provides some operations for direct access to the font without asking
  3253 the user for manual installation.

  3256 
  3257 New in Isabelle2009-1 (December 2009)
  3258 -------------------------------------
  3259 
  3260 *** General ***
  3261 
  3262 * Discontinued old form of "escaped symbols" such as \\<forall>.  Only
  3263 one backslash should be used, even in ML sources.
  3264 
  3265 
  3266 *** Pure ***
  3267 
  3268 * Locale interpretation propagates mixins along the locale hierarchy.
  3269 The currently only available mixins are the equations used to map
  3270 local definitions to terms of the target domain of an interpretation.
  3271 
  3272 * Reactivated diagnostic command 'print_interps'.  Use "print_interps
  3273 loc" to print all interpretations of locale "loc" in the theory.
  3274 Interpretations in proofs are not shown.
  3275 
  3276 * Thoroughly revised locales tutorial.  New section on conditional
  3277 interpretation.
  3278 
  3279 * On instantiation of classes, remaining undefined class parameters
  3280 are formally declared.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3281 
  3282 
  3283 *** Document preparation ***
  3284 
  3285 * New generalized style concept for printing terms: @{foo (style) ...}
  3286 instead of @{foo_style style ...}  (old form is still retained for
  3287 backward compatibility).  Styles can be also applied for
  3288 antiquotations prop, term_type and typeof.
  3289 
  3290 
  3291 *** HOL ***
  3292 
  3293 * New proof method "smt" for a combination of first-order logic with
  3294 equality, linear and nonlinear (natural/integer/real) arithmetic, and
  3295 fixed-size bitvectors; there is also basic support for higher-order
  3296 features (esp. lambda abstractions).  It is an incomplete decision
  3297 procedure based on external SMT solvers using the oracle mechanism;
  3298 for the SMT solver Z3, this method is proof-producing.  Certificates
  3299 are provided to avoid calling the external solvers solely for
  3300 re-checking proofs.  Due to a remote SMT service there is no need for
  3301 installing SMT solvers locally.  See src/HOL/SMT.
  3302 
  3303 * New commands to load and prove verification conditions generated by
  3304 the Boogie program verifier or derived systems (e.g. the Verifying C
  3305 Compiler (VCC) or Spec#).  See src/HOL/Boogie.
  3306 
  3307 * New counterexample generator tool 'nitpick' based on the Kodkod
  3308 relational model finder.  See src/HOL/Tools/Nitpick and
  3309 src/HOL/Nitpick_Examples.
  3310 
  3311 * New commands 'code_pred' and 'values' to invoke the predicate
  3312 compiler and to enumerate values of inductive predicates.
  3313 
  3314 * A tabled implementation of the reflexive transitive closure.
  3315 
  3316 * New implementation of quickcheck uses generic code generator;
  3317 default generators are provided for all suitable HOL types, records
  3318 and datatypes.  Old quickcheck can be re-activated importing theory
  3319 Library/SML_Quickcheck.
  3320 
  3321 * New testing tool Mirabelle for automated proof tools.  Applies
  3322 several tools and tactics like sledgehammer, metis, or quickcheck, to
  3323 every proof step in a theory.  To be used in batch mode via the
  3324 "mirabelle" utility.
  3325 
  3326 * New proof method "sos" (sum of squares) for nonlinear real
  3327 arithmetic (originally due to John Harison). It requires theory
  3328 Library/Sum_Of_Squares.  It is not a complete decision procedure but
  3329 works well in practice on quantifier-free real arithmetic with +, -,
  3330 *, ^, =, <= and <, i.e. boolean combinations of equalities and
  3331 inequalities between polynomials.  It makes use of external
  3332 semidefinite programming solvers.  Method "sos" generates a
  3333 certificate that can be pasted into the proof thus avoiding the need
  3334 to call an external tool every time the proof is checked.  See
  3335 src/HOL/Library/Sum_Of_Squares.
  3336 
  3337 * New method "linarith" invokes existing linear arithmetic decision
  3338 procedure only.
  3339 
  3340 * New command 'atp_minimal' reduces result produced by Sledgehammer.
  3341 
  3342 * New Sledgehammer option "Full Types" in Proof General settings menu.
  3343 Causes full type information to be output to the ATPs.  This slows
  3344 ATPs down considerably but eliminates a source of unsound "proofs"
  3345 that fail later.
  3346 
  3347 * New method "metisFT": A version of metis that uses full type
  3348 information in order to avoid failures of proof reconstruction.
  3349 
  3350 * New evaluator "approximate" approximates an real valued term using
  3351 the same method as the approximation method.
  3352 
  3353 * Method "approximate" now supports arithmetic expressions as
  3354 boundaries of intervals and implements interval splitting and Taylor
  3355 series expansion.
  3356 
  3357 * ML antiquotation @{code_datatype} inserts definition of a datatype
  3358 generated by the code generator; e.g. see src/HOL/Predicate.thy.
  3359 
  3360 * New theory SupInf of the supremum and infimum operators for sets of
  3361 reals.
  3362 
  3363 * New theory Probability, which contains a development of measure
  3364 theory, eventually leading to Lebesgue integration and probability.
  3365 
  3366 * Extended Multivariate Analysis to include derivation and Brouwer's
  3367 fixpoint theorem.
  3368 
  3369 * Reorganization of number theory, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  3370   - new number theory development for nat and int, in theories Divides
  3371     and GCD as well as in new session Number_Theory
  3372   - some constants and facts now suffixed with _nat and _int
  3373     accordingly
  3374   - former session NumberTheory now named Old_Number_Theory, including
  3375     theories Legacy_GCD and Primes (prefer Number_Theory if possible)
  3376   - moved theory Pocklington from src/HOL/Library to
  3377     src/HOL/Old_Number_Theory
  3378 
  3379 * Theory GCD includes functions Gcd/GCD and Lcm/LCM for the gcd and
  3380 lcm of finite and infinite sets. It is shown that they form a complete
  3381 lattice.
  3382 
  3383 * Class semiring_div requires superclass no_zero_divisors and proof of
  3384 div_mult_mult1; theorems div_mult_mult1, div_mult_mult2,
  3385 div_mult_mult1_if, div_mult_mult1 and div_mult_mult2 have been
  3386 generalized to class semiring_div, subsuming former theorems
  3387 zdiv_zmult_zmult1, zdiv_zmult_zmult1_if, zdiv_zmult_zmult1 and
  3388 zdiv_zmult_zmult2.  div_mult_mult1 is now [simp] by default.
  3389 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3390 
  3391 * Refinements to lattice classes and sets:
  3392   - less default intro/elim rules in locale variant, more default
  3393     intro/elim rules in class variant: more uniformity
  3394   - lemma ge_sup_conv renamed to le_sup_iff, in accordance with
  3395     le_inf_iff
  3396   - dropped lemma alias inf_ACI for inf_aci (same for sup_ACI and
  3397     sup_aci)
  3398   - renamed ACI to inf_sup_aci
  3399   - new class "boolean_algebra"
  3400   - class "complete_lattice" moved to separate theory
  3401     "Complete_Lattice"; corresponding constants (and abbreviations)
  3402     renamed and with authentic syntax:
  3403     Set.Inf ~>    Complete_Lattice.Inf
  3404     Set.Sup ~>    Complete_Lattice.Sup
  3405     Set.INFI ~>   Complete_Lattice.INFI
  3406     Set.SUPR ~>   Complete_Lattice.SUPR
  3407     Set.Inter ~>  Complete_Lattice.Inter
  3408     Set.Union ~>  Complete_Lattice.Union
  3409     Set.INTER ~>  Complete_Lattice.INTER
  3410     Set.UNION ~>  Complete_Lattice.UNION
  3411   - authentic syntax for
  3412     Set.Pow
  3413     Set.image
  3414   - mere abbreviations:
  3415     Set.empty               (for bot)
  3416     Set.UNIV                (for top)
  3417     Set.inter               (for inf, formerly Set.Int)
  3418     Set.union               (for sup, formerly Set.Un)
  3419     Complete_Lattice.Inter  (for Inf)
  3420     Complete_Lattice.Union  (for Sup)
  3421     Complete_Lattice.INTER  (for INFI)
  3422     Complete_Lattice.UNION  (for SUPR)
  3423   - object-logic definitions as far as appropriate
  3424 
  3425 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Care is required when theorems Int_subset_iff or
  3426 Un_subset_iff are explicitly deleted as default simp rules; then also
  3427 their lattice counterparts le_inf_iff and le_sup_iff have to be
  3428 deleted to achieve the desired effect.
  3429 
  3430 * Rules inf_absorb1, inf_absorb2, sup_absorb1, sup_absorb2 are no simp
  3431 rules by default any longer; the same applies to min_max.inf_absorb1
  3432 etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3433 
  3434 * Rules sup_Int_eq and sup_Un_eq are no longer declared as
  3435 pred_set_conv by default.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3436 
  3437 * Power operations on relations and functions are now one dedicated
  3438 constant "compow" with infix syntax "^^".  Power operation on
  3439 multiplicative monoids retains syntax "^" and is now defined generic
  3440 in class power.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3441 
  3442 * Relation composition "R O S" now has a more standard argument order:
  3443 "R O S = {(x, z). EX y. (x, y) : R & (y, z) : S}".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  3444 rewrite propositions with "S O R" --> "R O S". Proofs may occasionally
  3445 break, since the O_assoc rule was not rewritten like this.  Fix using
  3446 O_assoc[symmetric].  The same applies to the curried version "R OO S".
  3447 
  3448 * Function "Inv" is renamed to "inv_into" and function "inv" is now an
  3449 abbreviation for "inv_into UNIV".  Lemmas are renamed accordingly.
  3450 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3451 
  3452 * Most rules produced by inductive and datatype package have mandatory
  3453 prefixes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3454 
  3455 * Changed "DERIV_intros" to a dynamic fact, which can be augmented by
  3456 the attribute of the same name.  Each of the theorems in the list
  3457 DERIV_intros assumes composition with an additional function and
  3458 matches a variable to the derivative, which has to be solved by the
  3459 Simplifier.  Hence (auto intro!: DERIV_intros) computes the derivative
  3460 of most elementary terms.  Former Maclauren.DERIV_tac and
  3461 Maclauren.deriv_tac should be replaced by (auto intro!: DERIV_intros).
  3462 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3463 
  3464 * Code generator attributes follow the usual underscore convention:
  3465     code_unfold     replaces    code unfold
  3466     code_post       replaces    code post
  3467     etc.
  3468   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3469 
  3470 * Renamed methods:
  3471     sizechange -> size_change
  3472     induct_scheme -> induction_schema
  3473   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3474 
  3475 * Discontinued abbreviation "arbitrary" of constant "undefined".
  3476 INCOMPATIBILITY, use "undefined" directly.
  3477 
  3478 * Renamed theorems:
  3479     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  3480     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1_left -> Suc_eq_plus1_left
  3481     Suc_plus1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  3482     *anti_sym -> *antisym*
  3483     vector_less_eq_def -> vector_le_def
  3484   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3485 
  3486 * Added theorem List.map_map as [simp].  Removed List.map_compose.
  3487 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3488 
  3489 * Removed predicate "M hassize n" (<--> card M = n & finite M).
  3490 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3491 
  3492 
  3493 *** HOLCF ***
  3494 
  3495 * Theory Representable defines a class "rep" of domains that are
  3496 representable (via an ep-pair) in the universal domain type "udom".
  3497 Instances are provided for all type constructors defined in HOLCF.
  3498 
  3499 * The 'new_domain' command is a purely definitional version of the
  3500 domain package, for representable domains.  Syntax is identical to the
  3501 old domain package.  The 'new_domain' package also supports indirect
  3502 recursion using previously-defined type constructors.  See
  3503 src/HOLCF/ex/New_Domain.thy for examples.
  3504 
  3505 * Method "fixrec_simp" unfolds one step of a fixrec-defined constant
  3506 on the left-hand side of an equation, and then performs
  3507 simplification.  Rewriting is done using rules declared with the
  3508 "fixrec_simp" attribute.  The "fixrec_simp" method is intended as a
  3509 replacement for "fixpat"; see src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples.
  3510 
  3511 * The pattern-match compiler in 'fixrec' can now handle constructors
  3512 with HOL function types.  Pattern-match combinators for the Pair
  3513 constructor are pre-configured.
  3514 
  3515 * The 'fixrec' package now produces better fixed-point induction rules
  3516 for mutually-recursive definitions:  Induction rules have conclusions
  3517 of the form "P foo bar" instead of "P <foo, bar>".
  3518 
  3519 * The constant "sq_le" (with infix syntax "<<" or "\<sqsubseteq>") has
  3520 been renamed to "below".  The name "below" now replaces "less" in many
  3521 theorem names.  (Legacy theorem names using "less" are still supported
  3522 as well.)
  3523 
  3524 * The 'fixrec' package now supports "bottom patterns".  Bottom
  3525 patterns can be used to generate strictness rules, or to make
  3526 functions more strict (much like the bang-patterns supported by the
  3527 Glasgow Haskell Compiler).  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  3528 examples.
  3529 
  3530 
  3531 *** ML ***
  3532 
  3533 * Support for Poly/ML 5.3.0, with improved reporting of compiler
  3534 errors and run-time exceptions, including detailed source positions.
  3535 
  3536 * Structure Name_Space (formerly NameSpace) now manages uniquely
  3537 identified entries, with some additional information such as source
  3538 position, logical grouping etc.
  3539 
  3540 * Theory and context data is now introduced by the simplified and
  3541 modernized functors Theory_Data, Proof_Data, Generic_Data.  Data needs
  3542 to be pure, but the old TheoryDataFun for mutable data (with explicit
  3543 copy operation) is still available for some time.
  3544 
  3545 * Structure Synchronized (cf. src/Pure/Concurrent/synchronized.ML)
  3546 provides a high-level programming interface to synchronized state
  3547 variables with atomic update.  This works via pure function
  3548 application within a critical section -- its runtime should be as
  3549 short as possible; beware of deadlocks if critical code is nested,
  3550 either directly or indirectly via other synchronized variables!
  3551 
  3552 * Structure Unsynchronized (cf. src/Pure/ML-Systems/unsynchronized.ML)
  3553 wraps raw ML references, explicitly indicating their non-thread-safe
  3554 behaviour.  The Isar toplevel keeps this structure open, to
  3555 accommodate Proof General as well as quick and dirty interactive
  3556 experiments with references.
  3557 
  3558 * PARALLEL_CHOICE and PARALLEL_GOALS provide basic support for
  3559 parallel tactical reasoning.
  3560 
  3561 * Tacticals Subgoal.FOCUS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PREMS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PARAMS
  3562 are similar to SUBPROOF, but are slightly more flexible: only the
  3563 specified parts of the subgoal are imported into the context, and the
  3564 body tactic may introduce new subgoals and schematic variables.
  3565 
  3566 * Old tactical METAHYPS, which does not observe the proof context, has
  3567 been renamed to Old_Goals.METAHYPS and awaits deletion.  Use SUBPROOF
  3568 or Subgoal.FOCUS etc.
  3569 
  3570 * Renamed functor TableFun to Table, and GraphFun to Graph.  (Since
  3571 functors have their own ML name space there is no point to mark them
  3572 separately.)  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3573 
  3574 * Renamed NamedThmsFun to Named_Thms.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3575 
  3576 * Renamed several structures FooBar to Foo_Bar.  Occasional,
  3577 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3578 
  3579 * Operations of structure Skip_Proof no longer require quick_and_dirty
  3580 mode, which avoids critical setmp.
  3581 
  3582 * Eliminated old Attrib.add_attributes, Method.add_methods and related
  3583 combinators for "args".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use simplified
  3584 Attrib/Method.setup introduced in Isabelle2009.
  3585 
  3586 * Proper context for simpset_of, claset_of, clasimpset_of.  May fall
  3587 back on global_simpset_of, global_claset_of, global_clasimpset_of as
  3588 last resort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3589 
  3590 * Display.pretty_thm now requires a proper context (cf. former
  3591 ProofContext.pretty_thm).  May fall back on Display.pretty_thm_global
  3592 or even Display.pretty_thm_without_context as last resort.
  3593 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3594 
  3595 * Discontinued Display.pretty_ctyp/cterm etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  3596 Syntax.pretty_typ/term directly, preferably with proper context
  3597 instead of global theory.
  3598 
  3599 
  3600 *** System ***
  3601 
  3602 * Further fine tuning of parallel proof checking, scales up to 8 cores
  3603 (max. speedup factor 5.0).  See also Goal.parallel_proofs in ML and
  3604 usedir option -q.
  3605 
  3606 * Support for additional "Isabelle components" via etc/components, see
  3607 also the system manual.
  3608 
  3609 * The isabelle makeall tool now operates on all components with
  3610 IsaMakefile, not just hardwired "logics".
  3611 
  3612 * Removed "compress" option from isabelle-process and isabelle usedir;
  3613 this is always enabled.
  3614 
  3615 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 4.x versions.
  3616 
  3617 * Isabelle tool "wwwfind" provides web interface for 'find_theorems'
  3618 on a given logic image.  This requires the lighttpd webserver and is
  3619 currently supported on Linux only.
  3620 
  3621 
  3622 
  3623 New in Isabelle2009 (April 2009)
  3624 --------------------------------
  3625 
  3626 *** General ***
  3627 
  3628 * Simplified main Isabelle executables, with less surprises on
  3629 case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  3630 
  3631   - The main Isabelle tool wrapper is now called "isabelle" instead of
  3632     "isatool."
  3633 
  3634   - The former "isabelle" alias for "isabelle-process" has been
  3635     removed (should rarely occur to regular users).
  3636 
  3637   - The former "isabelle-interface" and its alias "Isabelle" have been
  3638     removed (interfaces are now regular Isabelle tools).
  3639 
  3640 Within scripts and make files, the Isabelle environment variables
  3641 ISABELLE_TOOL and ISABELLE_PROCESS replace old ISATOOL and ISABELLE,
  3642 respectively.  (The latter are still available as legacy feature.)
  3643 
  3644 The old isabelle-interface wrapper could react in confusing ways if
  3645 the interface was uninstalled or changed otherwise.  Individual
  3646 interface tool configuration is now more explicit, see also the
  3647 Isabelle system manual.  In particular, Proof General is now available
  3648 via "isabelle emacs".
  3649 
  3650 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt derivative scripts.  Users may need to
  3651 purge installed copies of Isabelle executables and re-run "isabelle
  3652 install -p ...", or use symlinks.
  3653 
  3654 * The default for ISABELLE_HOME_USER is now ~/.isabelle instead of the
  3655 old ~/isabelle, which was slightly non-standard and apt to cause
  3656 surprises on case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  3657 
  3658 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to move existing ~/isabelle/etc,
  3659 ~/isabelle/heaps, ~/isabelle/browser_info to the new place.  Special
  3660 care is required when using older releases of Isabelle.  Note that
  3661 ISABELLE_HOME_USER can be changed in Isabelle/etc/settings of any
  3662 Isabelle distribution, in order to use the new ~/.isabelle uniformly.
  3663 
  3664 * Proofs of fully specified statements are run in parallel on
  3665 multi-core systems.  A speedup factor of 2.5 to 3.2 can be expected on
  3666 a regular 4-core machine, if the initial heap space is made reasonably
  3667 large (cf. Poly/ML option -H).  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  3668 
  3669 * The main reference manuals ("isar-ref", "implementation", and
  3670 "system") have been updated and extended.  Formally checked references
  3671 as hyperlinks are now available uniformly.
  3672 
  3673 
  3674 *** Pure ***
  3675 
  3676 * Complete re-implementation of locales.  INCOMPATIBILITY in several
  3677 respects.  The most important changes are listed below.  See the
  3678 Tutorial on Locales ("locales" manual) for details.
  3679 
  3680 - In locale expressions, instantiation replaces renaming.  Parameters
  3681 must be declared in a for clause.  To aid compatibility with previous
  3682 parameter inheritance, in locale declarations, parameters that are not
  3683 'touched' (instantiation position "_" or omitted) are implicitly added
  3684 with their syntax at the beginning of the for clause.
  3685 
  3686 - Syntax from abbreviations and definitions in locales is available in
  3687 locale expressions and context elements.  The latter is particularly
  3688 useful in locale declarations.
  3689 
  3690 - More flexible mechanisms to qualify names generated by locale
  3691 expressions.  Qualifiers (prefixes) may be specified in locale
  3692 expressions, and can be marked as mandatory (syntax: "name!:") or
  3693 optional (syntax "name?:").  The default depends for plain "name:"
  3694 depends on the situation where a locale expression is used: in
  3695 commands 'locale' and 'sublocale' prefixes are optional, in
  3696 'interpretation' and 'interpret' prefixes are mandatory.  The old
  3697 implicit qualifiers derived from the parameter names of a locale are
  3698 no longer generated.
  3699 
  3700 - Command "sublocale l < e" replaces "interpretation l < e".  The
  3701 instantiation clause in "interpretation" and "interpret" (square
  3702 brackets) is no longer available.  Use locale expressions.
  3703 
  3704 - When converting proof scripts, mandatory qualifiers in
  3705 'interpretation' and 'interpret' should be retained by default, even
  3706 if this is an INCOMPATIBILITY compared to former behavior.  In the
  3707 worst case, use the "name?:" form for non-mandatory ones.  Qualifiers
  3708 in locale expressions range over a single locale instance only.
  3709 
  3710 - Dropped locale element "includes".  This is a major INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3711 In existing theorem specifications replace the includes element by the
  3712 respective context elements of the included locale, omitting those
  3713 that are already present in the theorem specification.  Multiple
  3714 assume elements of a locale should be replaced by a single one
  3715 involving the locale predicate.  In the proof body, declarations (most
  3716 notably theorems) may be regained by interpreting the respective
  3717 locales in the proof context as required (command "interpret").
  3718 
  3719 If using "includes" in replacement of a target solely because the
  3720 parameter types in the theorem are not as general as in the target,
  3721 consider declaring a new locale with additional type constraints on
  3722 the parameters (context element "constrains").
  3723 
  3724 - Discontinued "locale (open)".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3725 
  3726 - Locale interpretation commands no longer attempt to simplify goal.
  3727 INCOMPATIBILITY: in rare situations the generated goal differs.  Use
  3728 methods intro_locales and unfold_locales to clarify.
  3729 
  3730 - Locale interpretation commands no longer accept interpretation
  3731 attributes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3732 
  3733 * Class declaration: so-called "base sort" must not be given in import
  3734 list any longer, but is inferred from the specification.  Particularly
  3735 in HOL, write
  3736 
  3737     class foo = ...
  3738 
  3739 instead of
  3740 
  3741     class foo = type + ...
  3742 
  3743 * Class target: global versions of theorems stemming do not carry a
  3744 parameter prefix any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3745 
  3746 * Class 'instance' command no longer accepts attached definitions.
  3747 INCOMPATIBILITY, use proper 'instantiation' target instead.
  3748 
  3749 * Recovered hiding of consts, which was accidentally broken in
  3750 Isabelle2007.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, ``hide const c'' really
  3751 makes c inaccessible; consider using ``hide (open) const c'' instead.
  3752 
  3753 * Slightly more coherent Pure syntax, with updated documentation in
  3754 isar-ref manual.  Removed locales meta_term_syntax and
  3755 meta_conjunction_syntax: TERM and &&& (formerly &&) are now permanent,
  3756 INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations.  Note that &&& should not be used
  3757 directly in regular applications.
  3758 
  3759 * There is a new syntactic category "float_const" for signed decimal
  3760 fractions (e.g. 123.45 or -123.45).
  3761 
  3762 * Removed exotic 'token_translation' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML
  3763 interface with 'setup' command instead.
  3764 
  3765 * Command 'local_setup' is similar to 'setup', but operates on a local
  3766 theory context.
  3767 
  3768 * The 'axiomatization' command now only works within a global theory
  3769 context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3770 
  3771 * Goal-directed proof now enforces strict proof irrelevance wrt. sort
  3772 hypotheses.  Sorts required in the course of reasoning need to be
  3773 covered by the constraints in the initial statement, completed by the
  3774 type instance information of the background theory.  Non-trivial sort
  3775 hypotheses, which rarely occur in practice, may be specified via
  3776 vacuous propositions of the form SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::c).  For example:
  3777 
  3778   lemma assumes "SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::empty)" shows False ...
  3779 
  3780 The result contains an implicit sort hypotheses as before --
  3781 SORT_CONSTRAINT premises are eliminated as part of the canonical rule
  3782 normalization.
  3783 
  3784 * Generalized Isar history, with support for linear undo, direct state
  3785 addressing etc.
  3786 
  3787 * Changed defaults for unify configuration options:
  3788 
  3789   unify_trace_bound = 50 (formerly 25)
  3790   unify_search_bound = 60 (formerly 30)
  3791 
  3792 * Different bookkeeping for code equations (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  3793 
  3794   a) On theory merge, the last set of code equations for a particular
  3795      constant is taken (in accordance with the policy applied by other
  3796      parts of the code generator framework).
  3797 
  3798   b) Code equations stemming from explicit declarations (e.g. code
  3799      attribute) gain priority over default code equations stemming
  3800      from definition, primrec, fun etc.
  3801 
  3802 * Keyword 'code_exception' now named 'code_abort'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3803 
  3804 * Unified theorem tables for both code generators.  Thus [code
  3805 func] has disappeared and only [code] remains.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3806 
  3807 * Command 'find_consts' searches for constants based on type and name
  3808 patterns, e.g.
  3809 
  3810     find_consts "_ => bool"
  3811 
  3812 By default, matching is against subtypes, but it may be restricted to
  3813 the whole type.  Searching by name is possible.  Multiple queries are
  3814 conjunctive and queries may be negated by prefixing them with a
  3815 hyphen:
  3816 
  3817     find_consts strict: "_ => bool" name: "Int" -"int => int"
  3818 
  3819 * New 'find_theorems' criterion "solves" matches theorems that
  3820 directly solve the current goal (modulo higher-order unification).
  3821 
  3822 * Auto solve feature for main theorem statements: whenever a new goal
  3823 is stated, "find_theorems solves" is called; any theorems that could
  3824 solve the lemma directly are listed as part of the goal state.
  3825 Cf. associated options in Proof General Isabelle settings menu,
  3826 enabled by default, with reasonable timeout for pathological cases of
  3827 higher-order unification.
  3828 
  3829 
  3830 *** Document preparation ***
  3831 
  3832 * Antiquotation @{lemma} now imitates a regular terminal proof,
  3833 demanding keyword 'by' and supporting the full method expression
  3834 syntax just like the Isar command 'by'.
  3835 
  3836 
  3837 *** HOL ***
  3838 
  3839 * Integrated main parts of former image HOL-Complex with HOL.  Entry
  3840 points Main and Complex_Main remain as before.
  3841 
  3842 * Logic image HOL-Plain provides a minimal HOL with the most important
  3843 tools available (inductive, datatype, primrec, ...).  This facilitates
  3844 experimentation and tool development.  Note that user applications
  3845 (and library theories) should never refer to anything below theory
  3846 Main, as before.
  3847 
  3848 * Logic image HOL-Main stops at theory Main, and thus facilitates
  3849 experimentation due to shorter build times.
  3850 
  3851 * Logic image HOL-NSA contains theories of nonstandard analysis which
  3852 were previously part of former HOL-Complex.  Entry point Hyperreal
  3853 remains valid, but theories formerly using Complex_Main should now use
  3854 new entry point Hypercomplex.
  3855 
  3856 * Generic ATP manager for Sledgehammer, based on ML threads instead of
  3857 Posix processes.  Avoids potentially expensive forking of the ML
  3858 process.  New thread-based implementation also works on non-Unix
  3859 platforms (Cygwin).  Provers are no longer hardwired, but defined
  3860 within the theory via plain ML wrapper functions.  Basic Sledgehammer
  3861 commands are covered in the isar-ref manual.
  3862 
  3863 * Wrapper scripts for remote SystemOnTPTP service allows to use
  3864 sledgehammer without local ATP installation (Vampire etc.). Other
  3865 provers may be included via suitable ML wrappers, see also
  3866 src/HOL/ATP_Linkup.thy.
  3867 
  3868 * ATP selection (E/Vampire/Spass) is now via Proof General's settings
  3869 menu.
  3870 
  3871 * The metis method no longer fails because the theorem is too trivial
  3872 (contains the empty clause).
  3873 
  3874 * The metis method now fails in the usual manner, rather than raising
  3875 an exception, if it determines that it cannot prove the theorem.
  3876 
  3877 * Method "coherent" implements a prover for coherent logic (see also
  3878 src/Tools/coherent.ML).
  3879 
  3880 * Constants "undefined" and "default" replace "arbitrary".  Usually
  3881 "undefined" is the right choice to replace "arbitrary", though
  3882 logically there is no difference.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3883 
  3884 * Command "value" now integrates different evaluation mechanisms.  The
  3885 result of the first successful evaluation mechanism is printed.  In
  3886 square brackets a particular named evaluation mechanisms may be
  3887 specified (currently, [SML], [code] or [nbe]).  See further
  3888 src/HOL/ex/Eval_Examples.thy.
  3889 
  3890 * Normalization by evaluation now allows non-leftlinear equations.
  3891 Declare with attribute [code nbe].
  3892 
  3893 * Methods "case_tac" and "induct_tac" now refer to the very same rules
  3894 as the structured Isar versions "cases" and "induct", cf. the
  3895 corresponding "cases" and "induct" attributes.  Mutual induction rules
  3896 are now presented as a list of individual projections
  3897 (e.g. foo_bar.inducts for types foo and bar); the old format with
  3898 explicit HOL conjunction is no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  3899 rare situations a different rule is selected --- notably nested tuple
  3900 elimination instead of former prod.exhaust: use explicit (case_tac t
  3901 rule: prod.exhaust) here.
  3902 
  3903 * Attributes "cases", "induct", "coinduct" support "del" option.
  3904 
  3905 * Removed fact "case_split_thm", which duplicates "case_split".
  3906 
  3907 * The option datatype has been moved to a new theory Option.  Renamed
  3908 option_map to Option.map, and o2s to Option.set, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3909 
  3910 * New predicate "strict_mono" classifies strict functions on partial
  3911 orders.  With strict functions on linear orders, reasoning about
  3912 (in)equalities is facilitated by theorems "strict_mono_eq",
  3913 "strict_mono_less_eq" and "strict_mono_less".
  3914 
  3915 * Some set operations are now proper qualified constants with
  3916 authentic syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  3917 
  3918     op Int ~>   Set.Int
  3919     op Un ~>    Set.Un
  3920     INTER ~>    Set.INTER
  3921     UNION ~>    Set.UNION
  3922     Inter ~>    Set.Inter
  3923     Union ~>    Set.Union
  3924     {} ~>       Set.empty
  3925     UNIV ~>     Set.UNIV
  3926 
  3927 * Class complete_lattice with operations Inf, Sup, INFI, SUPR now in
  3928 theory Set.
  3929 
  3930 * Auxiliary class "itself" has disappeared -- classes without any
  3931 parameter are treated as expected by the 'class' command.
  3932 
  3933 * Leibnitz's Series for Pi and the arcus tangens and logarithm series.
  3934 
  3935 * Common decision procedures (Cooper, MIR, Ferrack, Approximation,
  3936 Dense_Linear_Order) are now in directory HOL/Decision_Procs.
  3937 
  3938 * Theory src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation provides the new proof
  3939 method "approximation".  It proves formulas on real values by using
  3940 interval arithmetic.  In the formulas are also the transcendental
  3941 functions sin, cos, tan, atan, ln, exp and the constant pi are
  3942 allowed. For examples see
  3943 src/HOL/Descision_Procs/ex/Approximation_Ex.thy.
  3944 
  3945 * Theory "Reflection" now resides in HOL/Library.
  3946 
  3947 * Entry point to Word library now simply named "Word".
  3948 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3949 
  3950 * Made source layout more coherent with logical distribution
  3951 structure:

  4004 
  4005 * If methods "eval" and "evaluation" encounter a structured proof
  4006 state with !!/==>, only the conclusion is evaluated to True (if
  4007 possible), avoiding strange error messages.
  4008 
  4009 * Method "sizechange" automates termination proofs using (a
  4010 modification of) the size-change principle.  Requires SAT solver.  See
  4011 src/HOL/ex/Termination.thy for examples.
  4012 
  4013 * Simplifier: simproc for let expressions now unfolds if bound
  4014 variable occurs at most once in let expression body.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4015 
  4016 * Method "arith": Linear arithmetic now ignores all inequalities when
  4017 fast_arith_neq_limit is exceeded, instead of giving up entirely.
  4018 
  4019 * New attribute "arith" for facts that should always be used
  4020 automatically by arithmetic. It is intended to be used locally in
  4021 proofs, e.g.
  4022 
  4023   assumes [arith]: "x > 0"
  4024 
  4025 Global usage is discouraged because of possible performance impact.
  4026 
  4027 * New classes "top" and "bot" with corresponding operations "top" and
  4028 "bot" in theory Orderings; instantiation of class "complete_lattice"
  4029 requires instantiation of classes "top" and "bot".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4030 
  4031 * Changed definition lemma "less_fun_def" in order to provide an
  4032 instance for preorders on functions; use lemma "less_le" instead.
  4033 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4034 
  4035 * Theory Orderings: class "wellorder" moved here, with explicit
  4036 induction rule "less_induct" as assumption.  For instantiation of
  4037 "wellorder" by means of predicate "wf", use rule wf_wellorderI.
  4038 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4039 
  4040 * Theory Orderings: added class "preorder" as superclass of "order".
  4041 INCOMPATIBILITY: Instantiation proofs for order, linorder
  4042 etc. slightly changed.  Some theorems named order_class.* now named
  4043 preorder_class.*.
  4044 
  4045 * Theory Relation: renamed "refl" to "refl_on", "reflexive" to "refl,
  4046 "diag" to "Id_on".
  4047 
  4048 * Theory Finite_Set: added a new fold combinator of type
  4049 
  4050   ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  4051 
  4052 Occasionally this is more convenient than the old fold combinator
  4053 which is now defined in terms of the new one and renamed to
  4054 fold_image.
  4055 
  4056 * Theories Ring_and_Field and OrderedGroup: The lemmas "group_simps"
  4057 and "ring_simps" have been replaced by "algebra_simps" (which can be
  4058 extended with further lemmas!).  At the moment both still exist but
  4059 the former will disappear at some point.
  4060 
  4061 * Theory Power: Lemma power_Suc is now declared as a simp rule in
  4062 class recpower.  Type-specific simp rules for various recpower types
  4063 have been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, rename old lemmas as follows:
  4064 
  4065 rat_power_0    -> power_0
  4066 rat_power_Suc  -> power_Suc
  4067 realpow_0      -> power_0
  4068 realpow_Suc    -> power_Suc
  4069 complexpow_0   -> power_0
  4070 complexpow_Suc -> power_Suc
  4071 power_poly_0   -> power_0
  4072 power_poly_Suc -> power_Suc
  4073 
  4074 * Theories Ring_and_Field and Divides: Definition of "op dvd" has been
  4075 moved to separate class dvd in Ring_and_Field; a couple of lemmas on
  4076 dvd has been generalized to class comm_semiring_1.  Likewise a bunch
  4077 of lemmas from Divides has been generalized from nat to class
  4078 semiring_div.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  This involves the following theorem
  4079 renames resulting from duplicate elimination:
  4080 
  4081     dvd_def_mod ~>          dvd_eq_mod_eq_0
  4082     zero_dvd_iff ~>         dvd_0_left_iff
  4083     dvd_0 ~>                dvd_0_right
  4084     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_DIV ~> div_by_0
  4085     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_MOD ~> mod_by_0
  4086     mult_div ~>             div_mult_self2_is_id
  4087     mult_mod ~>             mod_mult_self2_is_0
  4088 
  4089 * Theory IntDiv: removed many lemmas that are instances of class-based
  4090 generalizations (from Divides and Ring_and_Field).  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4091 rename old lemmas as follows:
  4092 
  4093 dvd_diff               -> nat_dvd_diff
  4094 dvd_zminus_iff         -> dvd_minus_iff
  4095 mod_add1_eq            -> mod_add_eq
  4096 mod_mult1_eq           -> mod_mult_right_eq
  4097 mod_mult1_eq'          -> mod_mult_left_eq
  4098 mod_mult_distrib_mod   -> mod_mult_eq
  4099 nat_mod_add_left_eq    -> mod_add_left_eq
  4100 nat_mod_add_right_eq   -> mod_add_right_eq
  4101 nat_mod_div_trivial    -> mod_div_trivial
  4102 nat_mod_mod_trivial    -> mod_mod_trivial
  4103 zdiv_zadd_self1        -> div_add_self1
  4104 zdiv_zadd_self2        -> div_add_self2
  4105 zdiv_zmult_self1       -> div_mult_self2_is_id
  4106 zdiv_zmult_self2       -> div_mult_self1_is_id
  4107 zdvd_triv_left         -> dvd_triv_left
  4108 zdvd_triv_right        -> dvd_triv_right
  4109 zdvd_zmult_cancel_disj -> dvd_mult_cancel_left
  4110 zmod_eq0_zdvd_iff      -> dvd_eq_mod_eq_0[symmetric]

  4138 
  4139 * Theory Rational: 'Fract k 0' now equals '0'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4140 
  4141 * The real numbers offer decimal input syntax: 12.34 is translated
  4142 into 1234/10^2. This translation is not reversed upon output.
  4143 
  4144 * Theory Library/Polynomial defines an abstract type 'a poly of
  4145 univariate polynomials with coefficients of type 'a.  In addition to
  4146 the standard ring operations, it also supports div and mod.  Code
  4147 generation is also supported, using list-style constructors.
  4148 
  4149 * Theory Library/Inner_Product defines a class of real_inner for real
  4150 inner product spaces, with an overloaded operation inner :: 'a => 'a
  4151 => real.  Class real_inner is a subclass of real_normed_vector from
  4152 theory RealVector.
  4153 
  4154 * Theory Library/Product_Vector provides instances for the product
  4155 type 'a * 'b of several classes from RealVector and Inner_Product.
  4156 Definitions of addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, norms,
  4157 and inner products are included.
  4158 
  4159 * Theory Library/Bit defines the field "bit" of integers modulo 2.  In
  4160 addition to the field operations, numerals and case syntax are also
  4161 supported.
  4162 
  4163 * Theory Library/Diagonalize provides constructive version of Cantor's
  4164 first diagonalization argument.
  4165 
  4166 * Theory Library/GCD: Curried operations gcd, lcm (for nat) and zgcd,
  4167 zlcm (for int); carried together from various gcd/lcm developements in
  4168 the HOL Distribution.  Constants zgcd and zlcm replace former igcd and
  4169 ilcm; corresponding theorems renamed accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4170 may recover tupled syntax as follows:
  4171 
  4172     hide (open) const gcd
  4173     abbreviation gcd where
  4174       "gcd == (%(a, b). GCD.gcd a b)"
  4175     notation (output)
  4176       GCD.gcd ("gcd '(_, _')")
  4177 
  4178 The same works for lcm, zgcd, zlcm.
  4179 
  4180 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity: added addition, numeral syntax and more
  4181 instantiations for algebraic structures.  Removed some duplicate
  4182 theorems.  Changes in simp rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4183 
  4184 * ML antiquotation @{code} takes a constant as argument and generates
  4185 corresponding code in background and inserts name of the corresponding
  4186 resulting ML value/function/datatype constructor binding in place.
  4187 All occurrences of @{code} with a single ML block are generated
  4188 simultaneously.  Provides a generic and safe interface for
  4189 instrumentalizing code generation.  See
  4190 src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Ferrack.thy for a more ambitious application.
  4191 In future you ought to refrain from ad-hoc compiling generated SML
  4192 code on the ML toplevel.  Note that (for technical reasons) @{code}
  4193 cannot refer to constants for which user-defined serializations are
  4194 set.  Refer to the corresponding ML counterpart directly in that
  4195 cases.
  4196 
  4197 * Command 'rep_datatype': instead of theorem names the command now
  4198 takes a list of terms denoting the constructors of the type to be
  4199 represented as datatype.  The characteristic theorems have to be
  4200 proven.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Also observe that the following theorems
  4201 have disappeared in favour of existing ones:
  4202 
  4203     unit_induct                 ~> unit.induct
  4204     prod_induct                 ~> prod.induct
  4205     sum_induct                  ~> sum.induct
  4206     Suc_Suc_eq                  ~> nat.inject
  4207     Suc_not_Zero Zero_not_Suc   ~> nat.distinct
  4208 
  4209 
  4210 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  4211 
  4212 * New locales for orders and lattices where the equivalence relation
  4213 is not restricted to equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY: all order and lattice
  4214 locales use a record structure with field eq for the equivalence.
  4215 
  4216 * New theory of factorial domains.
  4217 
  4218 * Units_l_inv and Units_r_inv are now simp rules by default.
  4219 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Simplifier proof that require deletion of l_inv
  4220 and/or r_inv will now also require deletion of these lemmas.
  4221 
  4222 * Renamed the following theorems, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4223 
  4224 UpperD ~> Upper_memD
  4225 LowerD ~> Lower_memD
  4226 least_carrier ~> least_closed
  4227 greatest_carrier ~> greatest_closed
  4228 greatest_Lower_above ~> greatest_Lower_below
  4229 one_zero ~> carrier_one_zero
  4230 one_not_zero ~> carrier_one_not_zero  (collision with assumption)
  4231 
  4232 
  4233 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  4234 
  4235 * Nominal datatypes can now contain type-variables.
  4236 
  4237 * Commands 'nominal_inductive' and 'equivariance' work with local
  4238 theory targets.
  4239 
  4240 * Nominal primrec can now works with local theory targets and its
  4241 specification syntax now conforms to the general format as seen in
  4242 'inductive' etc.
  4243 
  4244 * Method "perm_simp" honours the standard simplifier attributes
  4245 (no_asm), (no_asm_use) etc.
  4246 
  4247 * The new predicate #* is defined like freshness, except that on the
  4248 left hand side can be a set or list of atoms.
  4249 
  4250 * Experimental command 'nominal_inductive2' derives strong induction
  4251 principles for inductive definitions.  In contrast to
  4252 'nominal_inductive', which can only deal with a fixed number of
  4253 binders, it can deal with arbitrary expressions standing for sets of
  4254 atoms to be avoided.  The only inductive definition we have at the
  4255 moment that needs this generalisation is the typing rule for Lets in
  4256 the algorithm W:
  4257 
  4258  Gamma |- t1 : T1   (x,close Gamma T1)::Gamma |- t2 : T2   x#Gamma
  4259  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  4260          Gamma |- Let x be t1 in t2 : T2
  4261 
  4262 In this rule one wants to avoid all the binders that are introduced by
  4263 "close Gamma T1".  We are looking for other examples where this
  4264 feature might be useful.  Please let us know.
  4265 
  4266 
  4267 *** HOLCF ***
  4268 
  4269 * Reimplemented the simplification procedure for proving continuity
  4270 subgoals.  The new simproc is extensible; users can declare additional
  4271 continuity introduction rules with the attribute [cont2cont].
  4272 
  4273 * The continuity simproc now uses a different introduction rule for
  4274 solving continuity subgoals on terms with lambda abstractions.  In
  4275 some rare cases the new simproc may fail to solve subgoals that the
  4276 old one could solve, and "simp add: cont2cont_LAM" may be necessary.
  4277 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4278 
  4279 * Command 'fixrec': specification syntax now conforms to the general
  4280 format as seen in 'inductive' etc.  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  4281 examples.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4282 
  4283 
  4284 *** ZF ***
  4285 
  4286 * Proof of Zorn's Lemma for partial orders.
  4287 
  4288 
  4289 *** ML ***
  4290 
  4291 * Multithreading for Poly/ML 5.1/5.2 is no longer supported, only for
  4292 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.  Important note: the TimeLimit facility
  4293 depends on multithreading, so timouts will not work before Poly/ML
  4294 5.2.1!
  4295 
  4296 * High-level support for concurrent ML programming, see
  4297 src/Pure/Cuncurrent.  The data-oriented model of "future values" is
  4298 particularly convenient to organize independent functional
  4299 computations.  The concept of "synchronized variables" provides a
  4300 higher-order interface for components with shared state, avoiding the
  4301 delicate details of mutexes and condition variables.  (Requires
  4302 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  4303 
  4304 * ML bindings produced via Isar commands are stored within the Isar
  4305 context (theory or proof).  Consequently, commands like 'use' and 'ML'
  4306 become thread-safe and work with undo as expected (concerning
  4307 top-level bindings, not side-effects on global references).
  4308 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to provide proper Isar context when invoking the
  4309 compiler at runtime; really global bindings need to be given outside a
  4310 theory.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  4311 
  4312 * Command 'ML_prf' is analogous to 'ML' but works within a proof
  4313 context.  Top-level ML bindings are stored within the proof context in
  4314 a purely sequential fashion, disregarding the nested proof structure.
  4315 ML bindings introduced by 'ML_prf' are discarded at the end of the
  4316 proof.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  4317 
  4318 * Simplified ML attribute and method setup, cf. functions Attrib.setup
  4319 and Method.setup, as well as Isar commands 'attribute_setup' and
  4320 'method_setup'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for 'method_setup', need to simplify
  4321 existing code accordingly, or use plain 'setup' together with old
  4322 Method.add_method.
  4323 
  4324 * Simplified ML oracle interface Thm.add_oracle promotes 'a -> cterm
  4325 to 'a -> thm, while results are always tagged with an authentic oracle
  4326 name.  The Isar command 'oracle' is now polymorphic, no argument type
  4327 is specified.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify existing oracle code
  4328 accordingly.  Note that extra performance may be gained by producing
  4329 the cterm carefully, avoiding slow Thm.cterm_of.
  4330 
  4331 * Simplified interface for defining document antiquotations via
  4332 ThyOutput.antiquotation, ThyOutput.output, and optionally
  4333 ThyOutput.maybe_pretty_source.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify user
  4334 antiquotations accordingly, see src/Pure/Thy/thy_output.ML for common
  4335 examples.
  4336 
  4337 * More systematic treatment of long names, abstract name bindings, and
  4338 name space operations.  Basic operations on qualified names have been
  4339 move from structure NameSpace to Long_Name, e.g. Long_Name.base_name,
  4340 Long_Name.append.  Old type bstring has been mostly replaced by
  4341 abstract type binding (see structure Binding), which supports precise
  4342 qualification by packages and local theory targets, as well as proper
  4343 tracking of source positions.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to wrap old
  4344 bstring values into Binding.name, or better pass through abstract
  4345 bindings everywhere.  See further src/Pure/General/long_name.ML,
  4346 src/Pure/General/binding.ML and src/Pure/General/name_space.ML
  4347 
  4348 * Result facts (from PureThy.note_thms, ProofContext.note_thms,
  4349 LocalTheory.note etc.) now refer to the *full* internal name, not the
  4350 bstring as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY, not detected by ML type-checking!
  4351 
  4352 * Disposed old type and term read functions (Sign.read_def_typ,
  4353 Sign.read_typ, Sign.read_def_terms, Sign.read_term,
  4354 Thm.read_def_cterms, Thm.read_cterm etc.).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should
  4355 use regular Syntax.read_typ, Syntax.read_term, Syntax.read_typ_global,
  4356 Syntax.read_term_global etc.; see also OldGoals.read_term as last
  4357 resort for legacy applications.
  4358 
  4359 * Disposed old declarations, tactics, tactic combinators that refer to
  4360 the simpset or claset of an implicit theory (such as Addsimps,
  4361 Simp_tac, SIMPSET).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should use @{simpset} etc. in
  4362 embedded ML text, or local_simpset_of with a proper context passed as
  4363 explicit runtime argument.
  4364 
  4365 * Rules and tactics that read instantiations (read_instantiate,
  4366 res_inst_tac, thin_tac, subgoal_tac etc.) now demand a proper proof
  4367 context, which is required for parsing and type-checking.  Moreover,
  4368 the variables are specified as plain indexnames, not string encodings
  4369 thereof.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4370 
  4371 * Generic Toplevel.add_hook interface allows to analyze the result of
  4372 transactions.  E.g. see src/Pure/ProofGeneral/proof_general_pgip.ML
  4373 for theorem dependency output of transactions resulting in a new
  4374 theory state.
  4375 
  4376 * ML antiquotations: block-structured compilation context indicated by
  4377 \<lbrace> ... \<rbrace>; additional antiquotation forms:
  4378 
  4379   @{binding name}                         - basic name binding
  4380   @{let ?pat = term}                      - term abbreviation (HO matching)
  4381   @{note name = fact}                     - fact abbreviation
  4382   @{thm fact}                             - singleton fact (with attributes)
  4383   @{thms fact}                            - general fact (with attributes)
  4384   @{lemma prop by method}                 - singleton goal
  4385   @{lemma prop by meth1 meth2}            - singleton goal
  4386   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by method}      - general goal
  4387   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by meth1 meth2} - general goal
  4388   @{lemma (open) ...}                     - open derivation
  4389 
  4390 
  4391 *** System ***
  4392 
  4393 * The Isabelle "emacs" tool provides a specific interface to invoke
  4394 Proof General / Emacs, with more explicit failure if that is not
  4395 installed (the old isabelle-interface script silently falls back on
  4396 isabelle-process).  The PROOFGENERAL_HOME setting determines the
  4397 installation location of the Proof General distribution.
  4398 
  4399 * Isabelle/lib/classes/Pure.jar provides basic support to integrate
  4400 the Isabelle process into a JVM/Scala application.  See
  4401 Isabelle/lib/jedit/plugin for a minimal example.  (The obsolete Java
  4402 process wrapper has been discontinued.)
  4403 
  4404 * Added homegrown Isabelle font with unicode layout, see lib/fonts.
  4405 
  4406 * Various status messages (with exact source position information) are
  4407 emitted, if proper markup print mode is enabled.  This allows
  4408 user-interface components to provide detailed feedback on internal
  4409 prover operations.
  4410 
  4411 
  4412 
  4413 New in Isabelle2008 (June 2008)
  4414 -------------------------------
  4415 
  4416 *** General ***
  4417 
  4418 * The Isabelle/Isar Reference Manual (isar-ref) has been reorganized
  4419 and updated, with formally checked references as hyperlinks.
  4420 
  4421 * Theory loader: use_thy (and similar operations) no longer set the
  4422 implicit ML context, which was occasionally hard to predict and in
  4423 conflict with concurrency.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML within Isar which
  4424 provides a proper context already.
  4425 
  4426 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  4427 file are no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, regular 'uses' and
  4428 'use' within a theory file will do the job.
  4429 
  4430 * Name space merge now observes canonical order, i.e. the second space
  4431 is inserted into the first one, while existing entries in the first
  4432 space take precedence.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, may try to
  4433 swap theory imports.
  4434 
  4435 * Syntax: symbol \<chi> is now considered a letter.  Potential
  4436 INCOMPATIBILITY in identifier syntax etc.
  4437 
  4438 * Outer syntax: string tokens no longer admit escaped white space,
  4439 which was an accidental (undocumented) feature.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  4440 white space without escapes.
  4441 
  4442 * Outer syntax: string tokens may contain arbitrary character codes
  4443 specified via 3 decimal digits (as in SML).  E.g. "foo\095bar" for
  4444 "foo_bar".
  4445 
  4446 
  4447 *** Pure ***
  4448 
  4449 * Context-dependent token translations.  Default setup reverts locally
  4450 fixed variables, and adds hilite markup for undeclared frees.
  4451 
  4452 * Unused theorems can be found using the new command 'unused_thms'.
  4453 There are three ways of invoking it:
  4454 
  4455 (1) unused_thms
  4456      Only finds unused theorems in the current theory.
  4457 
  4458 (2) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n -
  4459      Finds unused theorems in the current theory and all of its ancestors,
  4460      excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of their ancestors.
  4461 
  4462 (3) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n - thy'_1 ... thy'_m
  4463      Finds unused theorems in the theories thy'_1 ... thy'_m and all of
  4464      their ancestors, excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of
  4465      their ancestors.
  4466 
  4467 In order to increase the readability of the list produced by
  4468 unused_thms, theorems that have been created by a particular instance
  4469 of a theory command such as 'inductive' or 'function' are considered
  4470 to belong to the same "group", meaning that if at least one theorem in
  4471 this group is used, the other theorems in the same group are no longer
  4472 reported as unused.  Moreover, if all theorems in the group are
  4473 unused, only one theorem in the group is displayed.
  4474 
  4475 Note that proof objects have to be switched on in order for
  4476 unused_thms to work properly (i.e. !proofs must be >= 1, which is
  4477 usually the case when using Proof General with the default settings).
  4478 
  4479 * Authentic naming of facts disallows ad-hoc overwriting of previous
  4480 theorems within the same name space.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to remove
  4481 duplicate fact bindings, or even accidental fact duplications.  Note
  4482 that tools may maintain dynamically scoped facts systematically, using
  4483 PureThy.add_thms_dynamic.
  4484 
  4485 * Command 'hide' now allows to hide from "fact" name space as well.
  4486 
  4487 * Eliminated destructive theorem database, simpset, claset, and
  4488 clasimpset.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, really need to observe linear
  4489 update of theories within ML code.
  4490 
  4491 * Eliminated theory ProtoPure and CPure, leaving just one Pure theory.
  4492 INCOMPATIBILITY, object-logics depending on former Pure require
  4493 additional setup PureThy.old_appl_syntax_setup; object-logics
  4494 depending on former CPure need to refer to Pure.
  4495 
  4496 * Commands 'use' and 'ML' are now purely functional, operating on
  4497 theory/local_theory.  Removed former 'ML_setup' (on theory), use 'ML'
  4498 instead.  Added 'ML_val' as mere diagnostic replacement for 'ML'.
  4499 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4500 
  4501 * Command 'setup': discontinued implicit version with ML reference.
  4502 
  4503 * Instantiation target allows for simultaneous specification of class
  4504 instance operations together with an instantiation proof.
  4505 Type-checking phase allows to refer to class operations uniformly.
  4506 See src/HOL/Complex/Complex.thy for an Isar example and
  4507 src/HOL/Library/Eval.thy for an ML example.
  4508 
  4509 * Indexing of literal facts: be more serious about including only
  4510 facts from the visible specification/proof context, but not the
  4511 background context (locale etc.).  Affects `prop` notation and method
  4512 "fact".  INCOMPATIBILITY: need to name facts explicitly in rare
  4513 situations.
  4514 
  4515 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": removed obsolete/undocumented
  4516 "(open)" option, which used to expose internal bound variables to the
  4517 proof text.
  4518 
  4519 * Isar statements: removed obsolete case "rule_context".
  4520 INCOMPATIBILITY, better use explicit fixes/assumes.
  4521 
  4522 * Locale proofs: default proof step now includes 'unfold_locales';
  4523 hence 'proof' without argument may be used to unfold locale
  4524 predicates.
  4525 
  4526 
  4527 *** Document preparation ***
  4528 
  4529 * Simplified pdfsetup.sty: color/hyperref is used unconditionally for
  4530 both pdf and dvi (hyperlinks usually work in xdvi as well); removed
  4531 obsolete thumbpdf setup (contemporary PDF viewers do this on the
  4532 spot); renamed link color from "darkblue" to "linkcolor" (default
  4533 value unchanged, can be redefined via \definecolor); no longer sets
  4534 "a4paper" option (unnecessary or even intrusive).
  4535 
  4536 * Antiquotation @{lemma A method} proves proposition A by the given
  4537 method (either a method name or a method name plus (optional) method
  4538 arguments in parentheses) and prints A just like @{prop A}.
  4539 
  4540 
  4541 *** HOL ***
  4542 
  4543 * New primrec package.  Specification syntax conforms in style to
  4544 definition/function/....  No separate induction rule is provided.  The
  4545 "primrec" command distinguishes old-style and new-style specifications
  4546 by syntax.  The former primrec package is now named OldPrimrecPackage.
  4547 When adjusting theories, beware: constants stemming from new-style
  4548 primrec specifications have authentic syntax.
  4549 
  4550 * Metis prover is now an order of magnitude faster, and also works
  4551 with multithreading.
  4552 
  4553 * Metis: the maximum number of clauses that can be produced from a
  4554 theorem is now given by the attribute max_clauses.  Theorems that
  4555 exceed this number are ignored, with a warning printed.
  4556 
  4557 * Sledgehammer no longer produces structured proofs by default. To
  4558 enable, declare [[sledgehammer_full = true]].  Attributes
  4559 reconstruction_modulus, reconstruction_sorts renamed
  4560 sledgehammer_modulus, sledgehammer_sorts.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4561 
  4562 * Method "induct_scheme" derives user-specified induction rules
  4563 from well-founded induction and completeness of patterns. This factors
  4564 out some operations that are done internally by the function package
  4565 and makes them available separately.  See
  4566 src/HOL/ex/Induction_Scheme.thy for examples.
  4567 
  4568 * More flexible generation of measure functions for termination
  4569 proofs: Measure functions can be declared by proving a rule of the
  4570 form "is_measure f" and giving it the [measure_function] attribute.
  4571 The "is_measure" predicate is logically meaningless (always true), and
  4572 just guides the heuristic.  To find suitable measure functions, the
  4573 termination prover sets up the goal "is_measure ?f" of the appropriate
  4574 type and generates all solutions by prolog-style backwards proof using
  4575 the declared rules.
  4576 
  4577 This setup also deals with rules like
  4578 
  4579   "is_measure f ==> is_measure (list_size f)"
  4580 
  4581 which accommodates nested datatypes that recurse through lists.
  4582 Similar rules are predeclared for products and option types.
  4583 
  4584 * Turned the type of sets "'a set" into an abbreviation for "'a => bool"
  4585 
  4586   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  4587 
  4588   - Definitions of overloaded constants on sets have to be replaced by
  4589     definitions on => and bool.
  4590 
  4591   - Some definitions of overloaded operators on sets can now be proved
  4592     using the definitions of the operators on => and bool.  Therefore,
  4593     the following theorems have been renamed:
  4594 
  4595       subset_def   -> subset_eq
  4596       psubset_def  -> psubset_eq
  4597       set_diff_def -> set_diff_eq
  4598       Compl_def    -> Compl_eq
  4599       Sup_set_def  -> Sup_set_eq
  4600       Inf_set_def  -> Inf_set_eq
  4601       sup_set_def  -> sup_set_eq
  4602       inf_set_def  -> inf_set_eq
  4603 
  4604   - Due to the incompleteness of the HO unification algorithm, some
  4605     rules such as subst may require manual instantiation, if some of
  4606     the unknowns in the rule is a set.
  4607 
  4608   - Higher order unification and forward proofs:
  4609     The proof pattern
  4610 
  4611       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  4612       then have "EX S. P S" ..
  4613 
  4614     no longer works (due to the incompleteness of the HO unification
  4615     algorithm) and must be replaced by the pattern
  4616 
  4617       have "EX S. P S"
  4618       proof
  4619         show "P S" <...>
  4620       qed
  4621 
  4622   - Calculational reasoning with subst (or similar rules):
  4623     The proof pattern
  4624 
  4625       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  4626       also have "S = T" <...>
  4627       finally have "P T" .
  4628 
  4629     no longer works (for similar reasons as the previous example) and
  4630     must be replaced by something like
  4631 
  4632       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  4633       moreover have "S = T" <...>
  4634       ultimately have "P T" by simp
  4635 
  4636   - Tactics or packages written in ML code:
  4637     Code performing pattern matching on types via
  4638 
  4639       Type ("set", [T]) => ...
  4640 
  4641     must be rewritten. Moreover, functions like strip_type or
  4642     binder_types no longer return the right value when applied to a
  4643     type of the form
  4644 
  4645       T1 => ... => Tn => U => bool
  4646 
  4647     rather than
  4648 
  4649       T1 => ... => Tn => U set
  4650 
  4651 * Merged theories Wellfounded_Recursion, Accessible_Part and
  4652 Wellfounded_Relations to theory Wellfounded.
  4653 
  4654 * Explicit class "eq" for executable equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4655 
  4656 * Class finite no longer treats UNIV as class parameter.  Use class
  4657 enum from theory Library/Enum instead to achieve a similar effect.
  4658 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4659 
  4660 * Theory List: rule list_induct2 now has explicitly named cases "Nil"
  4661 and "Cons".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4662 
  4663 * HOL (and FOL): renamed variables in rules imp_elim and swap.
  4664 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4665 
  4666 * Theory Product_Type: duplicated lemmas split_Pair_apply and
  4667 injective_fst_snd removed, use split_eta and prod_eqI instead.
  4668 Renamed upd_fst to apfst and upd_snd to apsnd.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4669 
  4670 * Theory Nat: removed redundant lemmas that merely duplicate lemmas of
  4671 the same name in theory Orderings:
  4672 
  4673   less_trans
  4674   less_linear
  4675   le_imp_less_or_eq
  4676   le_less_trans
  4677   less_le_trans
  4678   less_not_sym
  4679   less_asym
  4680 
  4681 Renamed less_imp_le to less_imp_le_nat, and less_irrefl to
  4682 less_irrefl_nat.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to more general types
  4683 and different variable names.
  4684 
  4685 * Library/Option_ord.thy: Canonical order on option type.
  4686 
  4687 * Library/RBT.thy: Red-black trees, an efficient implementation of
  4688 finite maps.
  4689 
  4690 * Library/Countable.thy: Type class for countable types.
  4691 
  4692 * Theory Int: The representation of numerals has changed.  The infix
  4693 operator BIT and the bit datatype with constructors B0 and B1 have
  4694 disappeared.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "Int.Bit0 x" and "Int.Bit1 y" in
  4695 place of "x BIT bit.B0" and "y BIT bit.B1", respectively.  Theorems
  4696 involving BIT, B0, or B1 have been renamed with "Bit0" or "Bit1"
  4697 accordingly.
  4698 
  4699 * Theory Nat: definition of <= and < on natural numbers no longer
  4700 depend on well-founded relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Definitions
  4701 le_def and less_def have disappeared.  Consider lemmas not_less
  4702 [symmetric, where ?'a = nat] and less_eq [symmetric] instead.
  4703 
  4704 * Theory Finite_Set: locales ACf, ACe, ACIf, ACIfSL and ACIfSLlin
  4705 (whose purpose mainly is for various fold_set functionals) have been
  4706 abandoned in favor of the existing algebraic classes
  4707 ab_semigroup_mult, comm_monoid_mult, ab_semigroup_idem_mult,
  4708 lower_semilattice (resp. upper_semilattice) and linorder.
  4709 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4710 
  4711 * Theory Transitive_Closure: induct and cases rules now declare proper
  4712 case_names ("base" and "step").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4713 
  4714 * Theorem Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct generalized to complete
  4715 lattices.  The form set-specific version is available as
  4716 Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct_set.
  4717 
  4718 * Renamed theorems "power.simps" to "power_int.simps".
  4719 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4720 
  4721 * Class semiring_div provides basic abstract properties of semirings
  4722 with division and modulo operations.  Subsumes former class dvd_mod.
  4723 
  4724 * Merged theories IntDef, Numeral and IntArith into unified theory
  4725 Int.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4726 
  4727 * Theory Library/Code_Index: type "index" now represents natural
  4728 numbers rather than integers.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4729 
  4730 * New class "uminus" with operation "uminus" (split of from class
  4731 "minus" which now only has operation "minus", binary).
  4732 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4733 
  4734 * Constants "card", "internal_split", "option_map" now with authentic
  4735 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4736 
  4737 * Definitions subset_def, psubset_def, set_diff_def, Compl_def,
  4738 le_bool_def, less_bool_def, le_fun_def, less_fun_def, inf_bool_def,
  4739 sup_bool_def, Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, inf_fun_def, sup_fun_def,
  4740 Inf_fun_def, Sup_fun_def, inf_set_def, sup_set_def, Inf_set_def,
  4741 Sup_set_def, le_def, less_def, option_map_def now with object
  4742 equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4743 
  4744 * Records. Removed K_record, and replaced it by pure lambda term
  4745 %x. c. The simplifier setup is now more robust against eta expansion.
  4746 INCOMPATIBILITY: in cases explicitly referring to K_record.
  4747 
  4748 * Library/Multiset: {#a, b, c#} abbreviates {#a#} + {#b#} + {#c#}.
  4749 
  4750 * Library/ListVector: new theory of arithmetic vector operations.
  4751 
  4752 * Library/Order_Relation: new theory of various orderings as sets of
  4753 pairs.  Defines preorders, partial orders, linear orders and
  4754 well-orders on sets and on types.
  4755 
  4756 
  4757 *** ZF ***
  4758 
  4759 * Renamed some theories to allow to loading both ZF and HOL in the
  4760 same session:
  4761 
  4762   Datatype  -> Datatype_ZF
  4763   Inductive -> Inductive_ZF
  4764   Int       -> Int_ZF
  4765   IntDiv    -> IntDiv_ZF
  4766   Nat       -> Nat_ZF
  4767   List      -> List_ZF
  4768   Main      -> Main_ZF
  4769 
  4770 INCOMPATIBILITY: ZF theories that import individual theories below
  4771 Main might need to be adapted.  Regular theory Main is still
  4772 available, as trivial extension of Main_ZF.
  4773 
  4774 
  4775 *** ML ***
  4776 
  4777 * ML within Isar: antiquotation @{const name} or @{const
  4778 name(typargs)} produces statically-checked Const term.
  4779 
  4780 * Functor NamedThmsFun: data is available to the user as dynamic fact
  4781 (of the same name).  Removed obsolete print command.
  4782 
  4783 * Removed obsolete "use_legacy_bindings" function.
  4784 
  4785 * The ``print mode'' is now a thread-local value derived from a global
  4786 template (the former print_mode reference), thus access becomes
  4787 non-critical.  The global print_mode reference is for session
  4788 management only; user-code should use print_mode_value,
  4789 print_mode_active, PrintMode.setmp etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4790 
  4791 * Functions system/system_out provide a robust way to invoke external
  4792 shell commands, with propagation of interrupts (requires Poly/ML
  4793 5.2.1).  Do not use OS.Process.system etc. from the basis library!
  4794 
  4795 
  4796 *** System ***
  4797 
  4798 * Default settings: PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS no longer impose xemacs ---
  4799 in accordance with Proof General 3.7, which prefers GNU emacs.
  4800 
  4801 * isatool tty runs Isabelle process with plain tty interaction;
  4802 optional line editor may be specified via ISABELLE_LINE_EDITOR
  4803 setting, the default settings attempt to locate "ledit" and "rlwrap".
  4804 
  4805 * isatool browser now works with Cygwin as well, using general
  4806 "javapath" function defined in Isabelle process environment.
  4807 
  4808 * YXML notation provides a simple and efficient alternative to
  4809 standard XML transfer syntax.  See src/Pure/General/yxml.ML and
  4810 isatool yxml as described in the Isabelle system manual.
  4811 
  4812 * JVM class isabelle.IsabelleProcess (located in Isabelle/lib/classes)
  4813 provides general wrapper for managing an Isabelle process in a robust
  4814 fashion, with ``cooked'' output from stdin/stderr.
  4815 
  4816 * Rudimentary Isabelle plugin for jEdit (see Isabelle/lib/jedit),
  4817 based on Isabelle/JVM process wrapper (see Isabelle/lib/classes).
  4818 
  4819 * Removed obsolete THIS_IS_ISABELLE_BUILD feature.  NB: the documented
  4820 way of changing the user's settings is via
  4821 ISABELLE_HOME_USER/etc/settings, which is a fully featured bash
  4822 script.
  4823 
  4824 * Multithreading.max_threads := 0 refers to the number of actual CPU
  4825 cores of the underlying machine, which is a good starting point for
  4826 optimal performance tuning.  The corresponding usedir option -M allows
  4827 "max" as an alias for "0".  WARNING: does not work on certain versions
  4828 of Mac OS (with Poly/ML 5.1).
  4829 
  4830 * isabelle-process: non-ML sessions are run with "nice", to reduce the
  4831 adverse effect of Isabelle flooding interactive front-ends (notably
  4832 ProofGeneral / XEmacs).
  4833 
  4834 
  4835 
  4836 New in Isabelle2007 (November 2007)
  4837 -----------------------------------
  4838 
  4839 *** General ***
  4840 
  4841 * More uniform information about legacy features, notably a
  4842 warning/error of "Legacy feature: ...", depending on the state of the
  4843 tolerate_legacy_features flag (default true). FUTURE INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4844 legacy features will disappear eventually.
  4845 
  4846 * Theory syntax: the header format ``theory A = B + C:'' has been
  4847 discontinued in favour of ``theory A imports B C begin''.  Use isatool
  4848 fixheaders to convert existing theory files.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4849 
  4850 * Theory syntax: the old non-Isar theory file format has been
  4851 discontinued altogether.  Note that ML proof scripts may still be used
  4852 with Isar theories; migration is usually quite simple with the ML
  4853 function use_legacy_bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4854 
  4855 * Theory syntax: some popular names (e.g. 'class', 'declaration',
  4856 'fun', 'help', 'if') are now keywords.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use double
  4857 quotes.
  4858 
  4859 * Theory loader: be more serious about observing the static theory
  4860 header specifications (including optional directories), but not the
  4861 accidental file locations of previously successful loads.  The strict
  4862 update policy of former update_thy is now already performed by
  4863 use_thy, so the former has been removed; use_thys updates several
  4864 theories simultaneously, just as 'imports' within a theory header
  4865 specification, but without merging the results.  Potential
  4866 INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to refine theory headers and commands
  4867 ROOT.ML which depend on load order.
  4868 
  4869 * Theory loader: optional support for content-based file
  4870 identification, instead of the traditional scheme of full physical
  4871 path plus date stamp; configured by the ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT setting
  4872 (cf. the system manual).  The new scheme allows to work with
  4873 non-finished theories in persistent session images, such that source
  4874 files may be moved later on without requiring reloads.
  4875 
  4876 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  4877 file (with the same base name as the theory) are considered a legacy
  4878 feature, which will disappear eventually. Even now, the theory loader
  4879 no longer maintains dependencies on such files.
  4880 
  4881 * Syntax: the scope for resolving ambiguities via type-inference is
  4882 now limited to individual terms, instead of whole simultaneous
  4883 specifications as before. This greatly reduces the complexity of the
  4884 syntax module and improves flexibility by separating parsing and
  4885 type-checking. INCOMPATIBILITY: additional type-constraints (explicit
  4886 'fixes' etc.) are required in rare situations.
  4887 
  4888 * Syntax: constants introduced by new-style packages ('definition',
  4889 'abbreviation' etc.) are passed through the syntax module in
  4890 ``authentic mode''. This means that associated mixfix annotations
  4891 really stick to such constants, independently of potential name space
  4892 ambiguities introduced later on. INCOMPATIBILITY: constants in parse
  4893 trees are represented slightly differently, may need to adapt syntax
  4894 translations accordingly. Use CONST marker in 'translations' and
  4895 @{const_syntax} antiquotation in 'parse_translation' etc.
  4896 
  4897 * Legacy goal package: reduced interface to the bare minimum required
  4898 to keep existing proof scripts running.  Most other user-level
  4899 functions are now part of the OldGoals structure, which is *not* open
  4900 by default (consider isatool expandshort before open OldGoals).
  4901 Removed top_sg, prin, printyp, pprint_term/typ altogether, because
  4902 these tend to cause confusion about the actual goal (!) context being
  4903 used here, which is not necessarily the same as the_context().
  4904 
  4905 * Command 'find_theorems': supports "*" wild-card in "name:"
  4906 criterion; "with_dups" option.  Certain ProofGeneral versions might
  4907 support a specific search form (see ProofGeneral/CHANGES).
  4908 
  4909 * The ``prems limit'' option (cf. ProofContext.prems_limit) is now -1
  4910 by default, which means that "prems" (and also "fixed variables") are
  4911 suppressed from proof state output.  Note that the ProofGeneral
  4912 settings mechanism allows to change and save options persistently, but
  4913 older versions of Isabelle will fail to start up if a negative prems
  4914 limit is imposed.
  4915 
  4916 * Local theory targets may be specified by non-nested blocks of
  4917 ``context/locale/class ... begin'' followed by ``end''.  The body may
  4918 contain definitions, theorems etc., including any derived mechanism
  4919 that has been implemented on top of these primitives.  This concept
  4920 generalizes the existing ``theorem (in ...)'' towards more versatility
  4921 and scalability.
  4922 
  4923 * Proof General interface: proper undo of final 'end' command;
  4924 discontinued Isabelle/classic mode (ML proof scripts).
  4925 
  4926 
  4927 *** Document preparation ***
  4928 
  4929 * Added antiquotation @{theory name} which prints the given name,
  4930 after checking that it refers to a valid ancestor theory in the
  4931 current context.
  4932 
  4933 * Added antiquotations @{ML_type text} and @{ML_struct text} which
  4934 check the given source text as ML type/structure, printing verbatim.
  4935 
  4936 * Added antiquotation @{abbrev "c args"} which prints the abbreviation
  4937 "c args == rhs" given in the current context.  (Any number of
  4938 arguments may be given on the LHS.)
  4939 
  4940 
  4941 *** Pure ***
  4942 
  4943 * The 'class' package offers a combination of axclass and locale to
  4944 achieve Haskell-like type classes in Isabelle.  Definitions and
  4945 theorems within a class context produce both relative results (with
  4946 implicit parameters according to the locale context), and polymorphic
  4947 constants with qualified polymorphism (according to the class
  4948 context).  Within the body context of a 'class' target, a separate
  4949 syntax layer ("user space type system") takes care of converting
  4950 between global polymorphic consts and internal locale representation.
  4951 See src/HOL/ex/Classpackage.thy for examples (as well as main HOL).
  4952 "isatool doc classes" provides a tutorial.
  4953 
  4954 * Generic code generator framework allows to generate executable
  4955 code for ML and Haskell (including Isabelle classes).  A short usage
  4956 sketch:
  4957 
  4958     internal compilation:
  4959         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML
  4960     writing SML code to a file:
  4961         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML <filename>
  4962     writing OCaml code to a file:
  4963         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in OCaml <filename>
  4964     writing Haskell code to a bunch of files:
  4965         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in Haskell <filename>
  4966 
  4967     evaluating closed propositions to True/False using code generation:
  4968         method ``eval''
  4969 
  4970 Reasonable default setup of framework in HOL.
  4971 
  4972 Theorem attributs for selecting and transforming function equations theorems:
  4973 
  4974     [code fun]:        select a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  4975     [code fun del]:    deselect a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  4976     [code inline]:     select an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  4977     [code inline del]: deselect an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place

  4997 For example usage see src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator.thy and
  4998 src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator_Pretty.thy.  A separate tutorial on code
  4999 generation from Isabelle/HOL theories is available via "isatool doc
  5000 codegen".
  5001 
  5002 * Code generator: consts in 'consts_code' Isar commands are now
  5003 referred to by usual term syntax (including optional type
  5004 annotations).
  5005 
  5006 * Command 'no_translations' removes translation rules from theory
  5007 syntax.
  5008 
  5009 * Overloaded definitions are now actually checked for acyclic
  5010 dependencies.  The overloading scheme is slightly more general than
  5011 that of Haskell98, although Isabelle does not demand an exact
  5012 correspondence to type class and instance declarations.
  5013 INCOMPATIBILITY, use ``defs (unchecked overloaded)'' to admit more
  5014 exotic versions of overloading -- at the discretion of the user!
  5015 
  5016 Polymorphic constants are represented via type arguments, i.e. the
  5017 instantiation that matches an instance against the most general
  5018 declaration given in the signature.  For example, with the declaration
  5019 c :: 'a => 'a => 'a, an instance c :: nat => nat => nat is represented
  5020 as c(nat).  Overloading is essentially simultaneous structural
  5021 recursion over such type arguments.  Incomplete specification patterns
  5022 impose global constraints on all occurrences, e.g. c('a * 'a) on the
  5023 LHS means that more general c('a * 'b) will be disallowed on any RHS.
  5024 Command 'print_theory' outputs the normalized system of recursive
  5025 equations, see section "definitions".
  5026 
  5027 * Configuration options are maintained within the theory or proof
  5028 context (with name and type bool/int/string), providing a very simple
  5029 interface to a poor-man's version of general context data.  Tools may
  5030 declare options in ML (e.g. using Attrib.config_int) and then refer to
  5031 these values using Config.get etc.  Users may change options via an
  5032 associated attribute of the same name.  This form of context
  5033 declaration works particularly well with commands 'declare' or
  5034 'using', for example ``declare [[foo = 42]]''.  Thus it has become
  5035 very easy to avoid global references, which would not observe Isar
  5036 toplevel undo/redo and fail to work with multithreading.
  5037 
  5038 Various global ML references of Pure and HOL have been turned into
  5039 configuration options:
  5040 
  5041   Unify.search_bound		unify_search_bound
  5042   Unify.trace_bound		unify_trace_bound
  5043   Unify.trace_simp		unify_trace_simp
  5044   Unify.trace_types		unify_trace_types
  5045   Simplifier.simp_depth_limit	simp_depth_limit
  5046   Blast.depth_limit		blast_depth_limit
  5047   DatatypeProp.dtK		datatype_distinctness_limit
  5048   fast_arith_neq_limit  	fast_arith_neq_limit
  5049   fast_arith_split_limit	fast_arith_split_limit
  5050 
  5051 * Named collections of theorems may be easily installed as context
  5052 data using the functor NamedThmsFun (see also
  5053 src/Pure/Tools/named_thms.ML).  The user may add or delete facts via
  5054 attributes; there is also a toplevel print command.  This facility is
  5055 just a common case of general context data, which is the preferred way
  5056 for anything more complex than just a list of facts in canonical
  5057 order.
  5058 
  5059 * Isar: command 'declaration' augments a local theory by generic
  5060 declaration functions written in ML.  This enables arbitrary content
  5061 being added to the context, depending on a morphism that tells the
  5062 difference of the original declaration context wrt. the application
  5063 context encountered later on.
  5064 
  5065 * Isar: proper interfaces for simplification procedures.  Command
  5066 'simproc_setup' declares named simprocs (with match patterns, and body
  5067 text in ML).  Attribute "simproc" adds/deletes simprocs in the current
  5068 context.  ML antiquotation @{simproc name} retrieves named simprocs.
  5069 
  5070 * Isar: an extra pair of brackets around attribute declarations
  5071 abbreviates a theorem reference involving an internal dummy fact,
  5072 which will be ignored later --- only the effect of the attribute on
  5073 the background context will persist.  This form of in-place
  5074 declarations is particularly useful with commands like 'declare' and
  5075 'using', for example ``have A using [[simproc a]] by simp''.
  5076 
  5077 * Isar: method "assumption" (and implicit closing of subproofs) now
  5078 takes simple non-atomic goal assumptions into account: after applying
  5079 an assumption as a rule the resulting subgoals are solved by atomic
  5080 assumption steps.  This is particularly useful to finish 'obtain'
  5081 goals, such as "!!x. (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> P x ==> thesis",
  5082 without referring to the original premise "!!x. P x ==> thesis" in the
  5083 Isar proof context.  POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY: method "assumption" is
  5084 more permissive.
  5085 
  5086 * Isar: implicit use of prems from the Isar proof context is
  5087 considered a legacy feature.  Common applications like ``have A .''
  5088 may be replaced by ``have A by fact'' or ``note `A`''.  In general,
  5089 referencing facts explicitly here improves readability and
  5090 maintainability of proof texts.
  5091 
  5092 * Isar: improper proof element 'guess' is like 'obtain', but derives
  5093 the obtained context from the course of reasoning!  For example:
  5094 
  5095   assume "EX x y. A x & B y"   -- "any previous fact"
  5096   then guess x and y by clarify
  5097 
  5098 This technique is potentially adventurous, depending on the facts and
  5099 proof tools being involved here.
  5100 
  5101 * Isar: known facts from the proof context may be specified as literal
  5102 propositions, using ASCII back-quote syntax.  This works wherever
  5103 named facts used to be allowed so far, in proof commands, proof
  5104 methods, attributes etc.  Literal facts are retrieved from the context
  5105 according to unification of type and term parameters.  For example,
  5106 provided that "A" and "A ==> B" and "!!x. P x ==> Q x" are known
  5107 theorems in the current context, then these are valid literal facts:
  5108 `A` and `A ==> B` and `!!x. P x ==> Q x" as well as `P a ==> Q a` etc.
  5109 
  5110 There is also a proof method "fact" which does the same composition
  5111 for explicit goal states, e.g. the following proof texts coincide with
  5112 certain special cases of literal facts:
  5113 
  5114   have "A" by fact                 ==  note `A`
  5115   have "A ==> B" by fact           ==  note `A ==> B`
  5116   have "!!x. P x ==> Q x" by fact  ==  note `!!x. P x ==> Q x`
  5117   have "P a ==> Q a" by fact       ==  note `P a ==> Q a`
  5118 
  5119 * Isar: ":" (colon) is no longer a symbolic identifier character in
  5120 outer syntax.  Thus symbolic identifiers may be used without
  5121 additional white space in declarations like this: ``assume *: A''.
  5122 
  5123 * Isar: 'print_facts' prints all local facts of the current context,
  5124 both named and unnamed ones.
  5125 
  5126 * Isar: 'def' now admits simultaneous definitions, e.g.:
  5127 
  5128   def x == "t" and y == "u"
  5129 
  5130 * Isar: added command 'unfolding', which is structurally similar to
  5131 'using', but affects both the goal state and facts by unfolding given
  5132 rewrite rules.  Thus many occurrences of the 'unfold' method or
  5133 'unfolded' attribute may be replaced by first-class proof text.
  5134 
  5135 * Isar: methods 'unfold' / 'fold', attributes 'unfolded' / 'folded',
  5136 and command 'unfolding' now all support object-level equalities
  5137 (potentially conditional).  The underlying notion of rewrite rule is
  5138 analogous to the 'rule_format' attribute, but *not* that of the
  5139 Simplifier (which is usually more generous).
  5140 
  5141 * Isar: the new attribute [rotated n] (default n = 1) rotates the
  5142 premises of a theorem by n. Useful in conjunction with drule.
  5143 
  5144 * Isar: the goal restriction operator [N] (default N = 1) evaluates a
  5145 method expression within a sandbox consisting of the first N
  5146 sub-goals, which need to exist.  For example, ``simp_all [3]''
  5147 simplifies the first three sub-goals, while (rule foo, simp_all)[]
  5148 simplifies all new goals that emerge from applying rule foo to the
  5149 originally first one.
  5150 
  5151 * Isar: schematic goals are no longer restricted to higher-order
  5152 patterns; e.g. ``lemma "?P(?x)" by (rule TrueI)'' now works as
  5153 expected.
  5154 
  5155 * Isar: the conclusion of a long theorem statement is now either
  5156 'shows' (a simultaneous conjunction, as before), or 'obtains'
  5157 (essentially a disjunction of cases with local parameters and
  5158 assumptions).  The latter allows to express general elimination rules
  5159 adequately; in this notation common elimination rules look like this:
  5160 
  5161   lemma exE:    -- "EX x. P x ==> (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5162     assumes "EX x. P x"
  5163     obtains x where "P x"
  5164 
  5165   lemma conjE:  -- "A & B ==> (A ==> B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5166     assumes "A & B"
  5167     obtains A and B
  5168 
  5169   lemma disjE:  -- "A | B ==> (A ==> thesis) ==> (B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5170     assumes "A | B"
  5171     obtains
  5172       A
  5173     | B
  5174 
  5175 The subsequent classical rules even refer to the formal "thesis"
  5176 explicitly:
  5177 
  5178   lemma classical:     -- "(~ thesis ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5179     obtains "~ thesis"
  5180 
  5181   lemma Peirce's_Law:  -- "((thesis ==> something) ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5182     obtains "thesis ==> something"
  5183 
  5184 The actual proof of an 'obtains' statement is analogous to that of the
  5185 Isar proof element 'obtain', only that there may be several cases.
  5186 Optional case names may be specified in parentheses; these will be
  5187 available both in the present proof and as annotations in the
  5188 resulting rule, for later use with the 'cases' method (cf. attribute
  5189 case_names).
  5190 
  5191 * Isar: the assumptions of a long theorem statement are available as
  5192 "assms" fact in the proof context.  This is more appropriate than the
  5193 (historical) "prems", which refers to all assumptions of the current
  5194 context, including those from the target locale, proof body etc.
  5195 
  5196 * Isar: 'print_statement' prints theorems from the current theory or
  5197 proof context in long statement form, according to the syntax of a
  5198 top-level lemma.
  5199 
  5200 * Isar: 'obtain' takes an optional case name for the local context
  5201 introduction rule (default "that").
  5202 
  5203 * Isar: removed obsolete 'concl is' patterns.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5204 explicit (is "_ ==> ?foo") in the rare cases where this still happens
  5205 to occur.
  5206 
  5207 * Pure: syntax "CONST name" produces a fully internalized constant
  5208 according to the current context.  This is particularly useful for
  5209 syntax translations that should refer to internal constant
  5210 representations independently of name spaces.
  5211 
  5212 * Pure: syntax constant for foo (binder "FOO ") is called "foo_binder"
  5213 instead of "FOO ". This allows multiple binder declarations to coexist
  5214 in the same context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5215 
  5216 * Isar/locales: 'notation' provides a robust interface to the 'syntax'
  5217 primitive that also works in a locale context (both for constants and
  5218 fixed variables). Type declaration and internal syntactic representation
  5219 of given constants retrieved from the context. Likewise, the
  5220 'no_notation' command allows to remove given syntax annotations from the
  5221 current context.
  5222 
  5223 * Isar/locales: new derived specification elements 'axiomatization',
  5224 'definition', 'abbreviation', which support type-inference, admit
  5225 object-level specifications (equality, equivalence).  See also the
  5226 isar-ref manual.  Examples:
  5227 
  5228   axiomatization
  5229     eq  (infix "===" 50) where
  5230     eq_refl: "x === x" and eq_subst: "x === y ==> P x ==> P y"
  5231 
  5232   definition "f x y = x + y + 1"
  5233   definition g where "g x = f x x"
  5234 
  5235   abbreviation
  5236     neq  (infix "=!=" 50) where
  5237     "x =!= y == ~ (x === y)"
  5238 
  5239 These specifications may be also used in a locale context.  Then the
  5240 constants being introduced depend on certain fixed parameters, and the
  5241 constant name is qualified by the locale base name.  An internal
  5242 abbreviation takes care for convenient input and output, making the
  5243 parameters implicit and using the original short name.  See also
  5244 src/HOL/ex/Abstract_NAT.thy for an example of deriving polymorphic
  5245 entities from a monomorphic theory.
  5246 
  5247 Presently, abbreviations are only available 'in' a target locale, but
  5248 not inherited by general import expressions.  Also note that
  5249 'abbreviation' may be used as a type-safe replacement for 'syntax' +
  5250 'translations' in common applications.  The "no_abbrevs" print mode
  5251 prevents folding of abbreviations in term output.
  5252 
  5253 Concrete syntax is attached to specified constants in internal form,
  5254 independently of name spaces.  The parse tree representation is
  5255 slightly different -- use 'notation' instead of raw 'syntax', and
  5256 'translations' with explicit "CONST" markup to accommodate this.
  5257 
  5258 * Pure/Isar: unified syntax for new-style specification mechanisms
  5259 (e.g.  'definition', 'abbreviation', or 'inductive' in HOL) admits
  5260 full type inference and dummy patterns ("_").  For example:
  5261 
  5262   definition "K x _ = x"
  5263 
  5264   inductive conj for A B
  5265   where "A ==> B ==> conj A B"
  5266 
  5267 * Pure: command 'print_abbrevs' prints all constant abbreviations of
  5268 the current context.  Print mode "no_abbrevs" prevents inversion of
  5269 abbreviations on output.
  5270 
  5271 * Isar/locales: improved parameter handling: use of locales "var" and
  5272 "struct" no longer necessary; - parameter renamings are no longer
  5273 required to be injective.  For example, this allows to define
  5274 endomorphisms as locale endom = homom mult mult h.
  5275 
  5276 * Isar/locales: changed the way locales with predicates are defined.
  5277 Instead of accumulating the specification, the imported expression is
  5278 now an interpretation.  INCOMPATIBILITY: different normal form of
  5279 locale expressions.  In particular, in interpretations of locales with
  5280 predicates, goals repesenting already interpreted fragments are not
  5281 removed automatically.  Use methods `intro_locales' and
  5282 `unfold_locales'; see below.
  5283 
  5284 * Isar/locales: new methods `intro_locales' and `unfold_locales'
  5285 provide backward reasoning on locales predicates.  The methods are
  5286 aware of interpretations and discharge corresponding goals.
  5287 `intro_locales' is less aggressive then `unfold_locales' and does not
  5288 unfold predicates to assumptions.
  5289 
  5290 * Isar/locales: the order in which locale fragments are accumulated
  5291 has changed.  This enables to override declarations from fragments due
  5292 to interpretations -- for example, unwanted simp rules.
  5293 
  5294 * Isar/locales: interpretation in theories and proof contexts has been
  5295 extended.  One may now specify (and prove) equations, which are
  5296 unfolded in interpreted theorems.  This is useful for replacing
  5297 defined concepts (constants depending on locale parameters) by
  5298 concepts already existing in the target context.  Example:
  5299 
  5300   interpretation partial_order ["op <= :: [int, int] => bool"]
  5301     where "partial_order.less (op <=) (x::int) y = (x < y)"
  5302 
  5303 Typically, the constant `partial_order.less' is created by a
  5304 definition specification element in the context of locale
  5305 partial_order.
  5306 
  5307 * Method "induct": improved internal context management to support
  5308 local fixes and defines on-the-fly. Thus explicit meta-level
  5309 connectives !!  and ==> are rarely required anymore in inductive goals
  5310 (using object-logic connectives for this purpose has been long
  5311 obsolete anyway). Common proof patterns are explained in
  5312 src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, see also
  5313 src/HOL/Isar_examples/Puzzle.thy and src/HOL/Lambda for realistic
  5314 examples.
  5315 
  5316 * Method "induct": improved handling of simultaneous goals. Instead of
  5317 introducing object-level conjunction, the statement is now split into
  5318 several conclusions, while the corresponding symbolic cases are nested
  5319 accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY, proofs need to be structured explicitly,
  5320 see src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, for example.
  5321 
  5322 * Method "induct": mutual induction rules are now specified as a list
  5323 of rule sharing the same induction cases. HOL packages usually provide
  5324 foo_bar.inducts for mutually defined items foo and bar (e.g. inductive
  5325 predicates/sets or datatypes). INCOMPATIBILITY, users need to specify
  5326 mutual induction rules differently, i.e. like this:
  5327 
  5328   (induct rule: foo_bar.inducts)
  5329   (induct set: foo bar)
  5330   (induct pred: foo bar)
  5331   (induct type: foo bar)
  5332 
  5333 The ML function ProjectRule.projections turns old-style rules into the
  5334 new format.
  5335 
  5336 * Method "coinduct": dual of induction, see
  5337 src/HOL/Library/Coinductive_List.thy for various examples.
  5338 
  5339 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": the ``(open)'' option is
  5340 considered a legacy feature.
  5341 
  5342 * Attribute "symmetric" produces result with standardized schematic
  5343 variables (index 0).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5344 
  5345 * Simplifier: by default the simplifier trace only shows top level
  5346 rewrites now. That is, trace_simp_depth_limit is set to 1 by
  5347 default. Thus there is less danger of being flooded by the trace. The
  5348 trace indicates where parts have been suppressed.
  5349 
  5350 * Provers/classical: removed obsolete classical version of elim_format
  5351 attribute; classical elim/dest rules are now treated uniformly when
  5352 manipulating the claset.
  5353 
  5354 * Provers/classical: stricter checks to ensure that supplied intro,
  5355 dest and elim rules are well-formed; dest and elim rules must have at
  5356 least one premise.
  5357 
  5358 * Provers/classical: attributes dest/elim/intro take an optional
  5359 weight argument for the rule (just as the Pure versions).  Weights are
  5360 ignored by automated tools, but determine the search order of single
  5361 rule steps.
  5362 
  5363 * Syntax: input syntax now supports dummy variable binding "%_. b",
  5364 where the body does not mention the bound variable.  Note that dummy
  5365 patterns implicitly depend on their context of bounds, which makes
  5366 "{_. _}" match any set comprehension as expected.  Potential
  5367 INCOMPATIBILITY -- parse translations need to cope with syntactic
  5368 constant "_idtdummy" in the binding position.
  5369 
  5370 * Syntax: removed obsolete syntactic constant "_K" and its associated
  5371 parse translation.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- use dummy abstraction instead,
  5372 for example "A -> B" => "Pi A (%_. B)".
  5373 
  5374 * Pure: 'class_deps' command visualizes the subclass relation, using
  5375 the graph browser tool.
  5376 
  5377 * Pure: 'print_theory' now suppresses certain internal declarations by
  5378 default; use '!' option for full details.
  5379 
  5380 
  5381 *** HOL ***
  5382 
  5383 * Method "metis" proves goals by applying the Metis general-purpose
  5384 resolution prover (see also http://gilith.com/software/metis/).
  5385 Examples are in the directory MetisExamples.  WARNING: the
  5386 Isabelle/HOL-Metis integration does not yet work properly with
  5387 multi-threading.
  5388 
  5389 * Command 'sledgehammer' invokes external automatic theorem provers as
  5390 background processes.  It generates calls to the "metis" method if
  5391 successful. These can be pasted into the proof.  Users do not have to
  5392 wait for the automatic provers to return.  WARNING: does not really
  5393 work with multi-threading.
  5394 
  5395 * New "auto_quickcheck" feature tests outermost goal statements for
  5396 potential counter-examples.  Controlled by ML references
  5397 auto_quickcheck (default true) and auto_quickcheck_time_limit (default
  5398 5000 milliseconds).  Fails silently if statements is outside of
  5399 executable fragment, or any other codgenerator problem occurs.
  5400 
  5401 * New constant "undefined" with axiom "undefined x = undefined".
  5402 
  5403 * Added class "HOL.eq", allowing for code generation with polymorphic
  5404 equality.
  5405 
  5406 * Some renaming of class constants due to canonical name prefixing in
  5407 the new 'class' package:

  5430 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Adaptions may be required in the following cases:
  5431 
  5432 a) User-defined constants using any of the names "plus", "minus",
  5433 "times", "less" or "less_eq". The standard syntax translations for
  5434 "+", "-" and "*" may go wrong.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific
  5435 names.
  5436 
  5437 b) Variables named "plus", "minus", "times", "less", "less_eq"
  5438 INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific names.
  5439 
  5440 c) Permutative equations (e.g. "a + b = b + a")
  5441 Since the change of names also changes the order of terms, permutative
  5442 rewrite rules may get applied in a different order. Experience shows
  5443 that this is rarely the case (only two adaptions in the whole Isabelle
  5444 distribution).  INCOMPATIBILITY: rewrite proofs
  5445 
  5446 d) ML code directly refering to constant names
  5447 This in general only affects hand-written proof tactics, simprocs and
  5448 so on.  INCOMPATIBILITY: grep your sourcecode and replace names.
  5449 Consider using @{const_name} antiquotation.
  5450 
  5451 * New class "default" with associated constant "default".
  5452 
  5453 * Function "sgn" is now overloaded and available on int, real, complex
  5454 (and other numeric types), using class "sgn".  Two possible defs of
  5455 sgn are given as equational assumptions in the classes sgn_if and
  5456 sgn_div_norm; ordered_idom now also inherits from sgn_if.
  5457 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5458 
  5459 * Locale "partial_order" now unified with class "order" (cf. theory
  5460 Orderings), added parameter "less".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5461 
  5462 * Renamings in classes "order" and "linorder": facts "refl", "trans" and
  5463 "cases" to "order_refl", "order_trans" and "linorder_cases", to avoid
  5464 clashes with HOL "refl" and "trans".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5465 
  5466 * Classes "order" and "linorder": potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to
  5467 changed order of proof goals in instance proofs.
  5468 
  5469 * The transitivity reasoner for partial and linear orders is set up
  5470 for classes "order" and "linorder".  Instances of the reasoner are available
  5471 in all contexts importing or interpreting the corresponding locales.
  5472 Method "order" invokes the reasoner separately; the reasoner
  5473 is also integrated with the Simplifier as a solver.  Diagnostic
  5474 command 'print_orders' shows the available instances of the reasoner
  5475 in the current context.
  5476 
  5477 * Localized monotonicity predicate in theory "Orderings"; integrated
  5478 lemmas max_of_mono and min_of_mono with this predicate.
  5479 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5480 
  5481 * Formulation of theorem "dense" changed slightly due to integration
  5482 with new class dense_linear_order.
  5483 
  5484 * Uniform lattice theory development in HOL.
  5485 
  5486     constants "meet" and "join" now named "inf" and "sup"
  5487     constant "Meet" now named "Inf"
  5488 
  5489     classes "meet_semilorder" and "join_semilorder" now named
  5490       "lower_semilattice" and "upper_semilattice"
  5491     class "lorder" now named "lattice"
  5492     class "comp_lat" now named "complete_lattice"
  5493 
  5494     Instantiation of lattice classes allows explicit definitions
  5495     for "inf" and "sup" operations (or "Inf" and "Sup" for complete lattices).
  5496

  5599 
  5600 * Added syntactic class "size"; overloaded constant "size" now has
  5601 type "'a::size ==> bool"
  5602 
  5603 * Internal reorganisation of `size' of datatypes: size theorems
  5604 "foo.size" are no longer subsumed by "foo.simps" (but are still
  5605 simplification rules by default!); theorems "prod.size" now named
  5606 "*.size".
  5607 
  5608 * Class "div" now inherits from class "times" rather than "type".
  5609 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5610 
  5611 * HOL/Finite_Set: "name-space" locales Lattice, Distrib_lattice,
  5612 Linorder etc.  have disappeared; operations defined in terms of
  5613 fold_set now are named Inf_fin, Sup_fin.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5614 
  5615 * HOL/Nat: neq0_conv no longer declared as iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5616 
  5617 * HOL-Word: New extensive library and type for generic, fixed size
  5618 machine words, with arithmetic, bit-wise, shifting and rotating
  5619 operations, reflection into int, nat, and bool lists, automation for
  5620 linear arithmetic (by automatic reflection into nat or int), including
  5621 lemmas on overflow and monotonicity.  Instantiated to all appropriate
  5622 arithmetic type classes, supporting automatic simplification of
  5623 numerals on all operations.
  5624 
  5625 * Library/Boolean_Algebra: locales for abstract boolean algebras.
  5626 
  5627 * Library/Numeral_Type: numbers as types, e.g. TYPE(32).
  5628 
  5629 * Code generator library theories:
  5630   - Code_Integer represents HOL integers by big integer literals in target
  5631     languages.
  5632   - Code_Char represents HOL characters by character literals in target
  5633     languages.
  5634   - Code_Char_chr like Code_Char, but also offers treatment of character
  5635     codes; includes Code_Integer.
  5636   - Executable_Set allows to generate code for finite sets using lists.
  5637   - Executable_Rat implements rational numbers as triples (sign, enumerator,
  5638     denominator).
  5639   - Executable_Real implements a subset of real numbers, namly those
  5640     representable by rational numbers.
  5641   - Efficient_Nat implements natural numbers by integers, which in general will
  5642     result in higher efficency; pattern matching with 0/Suc is eliminated;
  5643     includes Code_Integer.
  5644   - Code_Index provides an additional datatype index which is mapped to
  5645     target-language built-in integers.
  5646   - Code_Message provides an additional datatype message_string which is isomorphic to
  5647     strings; messages are mapped to target-language strings.
  5648 
  5649 * New package for inductive predicates
  5650 
  5651   An n-ary predicate p with m parameters z_1, ..., z_m can now be defined via
  5652 
  5653     inductive
  5654       p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  5655       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  5656     where
  5657       rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  5658     | ...
  5659 
  5660   with full support for type-inference, rather than
  5661 
  5662     consts s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  5663 
  5664     abbreviation p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  5665     where "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  5666 
  5667     inductive "s z_1 ... z_m"
  5668     intros
  5669       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  5670       ...
  5671 
  5672   For backward compatibility, there is a wrapper allowing inductive
  5673   sets to be defined with the new package via
  5674 
  5675     inductive_set
  5676       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  5677       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  5678     where
  5679       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  5680     | ...
  5681 
  5682   or
  5683 
  5684     inductive_set
  5685       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  5686       and p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  5687       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  5688     where
  5689       "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  5690     | rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  5691     | ...
  5692 
  5693   if the additional syntax "p ..." is required.
  5694 
  5695   Numerous examples can be found in the subdirectories src/HOL/Auth,
  5696   src/HOL/Bali, src/HOL/Induct, and src/HOL/MicroJava.
  5697 
  5698   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  5699 
  5700   - Since declaration and definition of inductive sets or predicates
  5701     is no longer separated, abbreviations involving the newly
  5702     introduced sets or predicates must be specified together with the
  5703     introduction rules after the 'where' keyword (see above), rather
  5704     than before the actual inductive definition.
  5705 
  5706   - The variables in induction and elimination rules are now
  5707     quantified in the order of their occurrence in the introduction
  5708     rules, rather than in alphabetical order. Since this may break
  5709     some proofs, these proofs either have to be repaired, e.g. by
  5710     reordering the variables a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i} in Isar 'case'
  5711     statements of the form
  5712 
  5713       case (rule_i a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i})
  5714 
  5715     or the old order of quantification has to be restored by explicitly adding
  5716     meta-level quantifiers in the introduction rules, i.e.
  5717 
  5718       | rule_i: "!!a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i}. ... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_i_1 ... t_i_n"
  5719 
  5720   - The format of the elimination rules is now
  5721 
  5722       p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n ==>
  5723         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  5724         ==> ... ==> P
  5725 
  5726     for predicates and
  5727 
  5728       (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  5729         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  5730         ==> ... ==> P
  5731 
  5732     for sets rather than
  5733 
  5734       x : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  5735         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x = (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) ==> ... ==> P)
  5736         ==> ... ==> P
  5737 
  5738     This may require terms in goals to be expanded to n-tuples
  5739     (e.g. using case_tac or simplification with the split_paired_all
  5740     rule) before the above elimination rule is applicable.
  5741 
  5742   - The elimination or case analysis rules for (mutually) inductive
  5743     sets or predicates are now called "p_1.cases" ... "p_k.cases". The
  5744     list of rules "p_1_..._p_k.elims" is no longer available.
  5745 
  5746 * New package "function"/"fun" for general recursive functions,
  5747 supporting mutual and nested recursion, definitions in local contexts,
  5748 more general pattern matching and partiality. See HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy
  5749 for small examples, and the separate tutorial on the function
  5750 package. The old recdef "package" is still available as before, but
  5751 users are encouraged to use the new package.
  5752 
  5753 * Method "lexicographic_order" automatically synthesizes termination
  5754 relations as lexicographic combinations of size measures.
  5755 
  5756 * Case-expressions allow arbitrary constructor-patterns (including
  5757 "_") and take their order into account, like in functional
  5758 programming.  Internally, this is translated into nested
  5759 case-expressions; missing cases are added and mapped to the predefined
  5760 constant "undefined". In complicated cases printing may no longer show
  5761 the original input but the internal form. Lambda-abstractions allow
  5762 the same form of pattern matching: "% pat1 => e1 | ..." is an
  5763 abbreviation for "%x. case x of pat1 => e1 | ..." where x is a new
  5764 variable.
  5765 
  5766 * IntDef: The constant "int :: nat => int" has been removed; now "int"
  5767 is an abbreviation for "of_nat :: nat => int". The simplification
  5768 rules for "of_nat" have been changed to work like "int" did
  5769 previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5770   - "of_nat (Suc m)" simplifies to "1 + of_nat m" instead of "of_nat m + 1"
  5771   - of_nat_diff and of_nat_mult are no longer default simp rules
  5772 
  5773 * Method "algebra" solves polynomial equations over (semi)rings using
  5774 Groebner bases. The (semi)ring structure is defined by locales and the
  5775 tool setup depends on that generic context. Installing the method for
  5776 a specific type involves instantiating the locale and possibly adding
  5777 declarations for computation on the coefficients.  The method is
  5778 already instantiated for natural numbers and for the axiomatic class
  5779 of idoms with numerals.  See also the paper by Chaieb and Wenzel at
  5780 CALCULEMUS 2007 for the general principles underlying this
  5781 architecture of context-aware proof-tools.
  5782 
  5783 * Method "ferrack" implements quantifier elimination over
  5784 special-purpose dense linear orders using locales (analogous to
  5785 "algebra"). The method is already installed for class
  5786 {ordered_field,recpower,number_ring} which subsumes real, hyperreal,
  5787 rat, etc.
  5788 
  5789 * Former constant "List.op @" now named "List.append".  Use ML
  5790 antiquotations @{const_name List.append} or @{term " ... @ ... "} to
  5791 circumvent possible incompatibilities when working on ML level.
  5792 
  5793 * primrec: missing cases mapped to "undefined" instead of "arbitrary".
  5794 
  5795 * New function listsum :: 'a list => 'a for arbitrary monoids.
  5796 Special syntax: "SUM x <- xs. f x" (and latex variants)
  5797 
  5798 * New syntax for Haskell-like list comprehension (input only), eg.
  5799 [(x,y). x <- xs, y <- ys, x ~= y], see also src/HOL/List.thy.
  5800 
  5801 * The special syntax for function "filter" has changed from [x :
  5802 xs. P] to [x <- xs. P] to avoid an ambiguity caused by list
  5803 comprehension syntax, and for uniformity.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5804 
  5805 * [a..b] is now defined for arbitrary linear orders.  It used to be
  5806 defined on nat only, as an abbreviation for [a..<Suc b]
  5807 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5808 
  5809 * Renamed lemma "set_take_whileD"  to "set_takeWhileD".
  5810 
  5811 * New functions "sorted" and "sort" in src/HOL/List.thy.
  5812 
  5813 * New lemma collection field_simps (an extension of ring_simps) for
  5814 manipulating (in)equations involving division. Multiplies with all
  5815 denominators that can be proved to be non-zero (in equations) or
  5816 positive/negative (in inequations).
  5817 
  5818 * Lemma collections ring_eq_simps, group_eq_simps and ring_distrib
  5819 have been improved and renamed to ring_simps, group_simps and
  5820 ring_distribs.  Removed lemmas field_xyz in theory Ring_and_Field
  5821 because they were subsumed by lemmas xyz.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5822 
  5823 * Theory Library/Commutative_Ring: switched from recdef to function
  5824 package; constants add, mul, pow now curried.  Infix syntax for
  5825 algebraic operations.
  5826 
  5827 * Dropped redundant lemma def_imp_eq in favor of meta_eq_to_obj_eq.
  5828 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5829 
  5830 * Dropped redundant lemma if_def2 in favor of if_bool_eq_conj.
  5831 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5832 
  5833 * HOL/records: generalised field-update to take a function on the
  5834 field rather than the new value: r(|A := x|) is translated to A_update
  5835 (K x) r The K-combinator that is internally used is called K_record.
  5836 INCOMPATIBILITY: Usage of the plain update functions has to be
  5837 adapted.
  5838 
  5839 * Class "semiring_0" now contains annihilation axioms x * 0 = 0 and 0
  5840 * x = 0, which are required for a semiring.  Richer structures do not
  5841 inherit from semiring_0 anymore, because this property is a theorem
  5842 there, not an axiom.  INCOMPATIBILITY: In instances of semiring_0,
  5843 there is more to prove, but this is mostly trivial.
  5844 
  5845 * Class "recpower" is generalized to arbitrary monoids, not just
  5846 commutative semirings.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to incorporate
  5847 commutativity or semiring properties additionally.
  5848 
  5849 * Constant "List.list_all2" in List.thy now uses authentic syntax.
  5850 INCOMPATIBILITY: translations containing list_all2 may go wrong,
  5851 better use 'abbreviation'.
  5852 
  5853 * Renamed constant "List.op mem" to "List.member".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5854 
  5855 * Numeral syntax: type 'bin' which was a mere type copy of 'int' has
  5856 been abandoned in favour of plain 'int'.  INCOMPATIBILITY --
  5857 significant changes for setting up numeral syntax for types:
  5858   - New constants Numeral.pred and Numeral.succ instead
  5859       of former Numeral.bin_pred and Numeral.bin_succ.
  5860   - Use integer operations instead of bin_add, bin_mult and so on.
  5861   - Numeral simplification theorems named Numeral.numeral_simps instead of Bin_simps.
  5862   - ML structure Bin_Simprocs now named Int_Numeral_Base_Simprocs.
  5863 
  5864 See src/HOL/Integ/IntArith.thy for an example setup.
  5865 
  5866 * Command 'normal_form' computes the normal form of a term that may
  5867 contain free variables.  For example ``normal_form "rev [a, b, c]"''
  5868 produces ``[b, c, a]'' (without proof).  This command is suitable for
  5869 heavy-duty computations because the functions are compiled to ML
  5870 first.  Correspondingly, a method "normalization" is provided.  See
  5871 further src/HOL/ex/NormalForm.thy and src/Tools/nbe.ML.
  5872 
  5873 * Alternative iff syntax "A <-> B" for equality on bool (with priority
  5874 25 like -->); output depends on the "iff" print_mode, the default is
  5875 "A = B" (with priority 50).
  5876 
  5877 * Relations less (<) and less_eq (<=) are also available on type bool.
  5878 Modified syntax to disallow nesting without explicit parentheses,
  5879 e.g. "(x < y) < z" or "x < (y < z)", but NOT "x < y < z".  Potential
  5880 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5881 
  5882 * "LEAST x:A. P" expands to "LEAST x. x:A & P" (input only).
  5883 
  5884 * Relation composition operator "op O" now has precedence 75 and binds
  5885 stronger than union and intersection. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5886 
  5887 * The old set interval syntax "{m..n(}" (and relatives) has been
  5888 removed.  Use "{m..<n}" (and relatives) instead.
  5889 
  5890 * In the context of the assumption "~(s = t)" the Simplifier rewrites
  5891 "t = s" to False (by simproc "neq").  INCOMPATIBILITY, consider using
  5892 ``declare [[simproc del: neq]]''.
  5893 
  5894 * Simplifier: "m dvd n" where m and n are numbers is evaluated to
  5895 True/False.
  5896 
  5897 * Theorem Cons_eq_map_conv no longer declared as "simp".
  5898 
  5899 * Theorem setsum_mult renamed to setsum_right_distrib.
  5900 
  5901 * Prefer ex1I over ex_ex1I in single-step reasoning, e.g. by the
  5902 ``rule'' method.
  5903 
  5904 * Reimplemented methods "sat" and "satx", with several improvements:
  5905 goals no longer need to be stated as "<prems> ==> False", equivalences
  5906 (i.e. "=" on type bool) are handled, variable names of the form
  5907 "lit_<n>" are no longer reserved, significant speedup.
  5908 
  5909 * Methods "sat" and "satx" can now replay MiniSat proof traces.
  5910 zChaff is still supported as well.
  5911 
  5912 * 'inductive' and 'datatype': provide projections of mutual rules,
  5913 bundled as foo_bar.inducts;
  5914 
  5915 * Library: moved theories Parity, GCD, Binomial, Infinite_Set to
  5916 Library.
  5917 
  5918 * Library: moved theory Accessible_Part to main HOL.
  5919 
  5920 * Library: added theory Coinductive_List of potentially infinite lists
  5921 as greatest fixed-point.
  5922 
  5923 * Library: added theory AssocList which implements (finite) maps as
  5924 association lists.
  5925 
  5926 * Method "evaluation" solves goals (i.e. a boolean expression)
  5927 efficiently by compiling it to ML.  The goal is "proved" (via an
  5928 oracle) if it evaluates to True.
  5929 
  5930 * Linear arithmetic now splits certain operators (e.g. min, max, abs)
  5931 also when invoked by the simplifier.  This results in the Simplifier
  5932 being more powerful on arithmetic goals.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5933 Configuration option fast_arith_split_limit=0 recovers the old
  5934 behavior.
  5935 
  5936 * Support for hex (0x20) and binary (0b1001) numerals.
  5937 
  5938 * New method: reify eqs (t), where eqs are equations for an
  5939 interpretation I :: 'a list => 'b => 'c and t::'c is an optional
  5940 parameter, computes a term s::'b and a list xs::'a list and proves the
  5941 theorem I xs s = t. This is also known as reification or quoting. The
  5942 resulting theorem is applied to the subgoal to substitute t with I xs
  5943 s.  If t is omitted, the subgoal itself is reified.
  5944 
  5945 * New method: reflection corr_thm eqs (t). The parameters eqs and (t)
  5946 are as explained above. corr_thm is a theorem for I vs (f t) = I vs t,
  5947 where f is supposed to be a computable function (in the sense of code
  5948 generattion). The method uses reify to compute s and xs as above then
  5949 applies corr_thm and uses normalization by evaluation to "prove" f s =
  5950 r and finally gets the theorem t = r, which is again applied to the
  5951 subgoal. An Example is available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy.
  5952 
  5953 * Reflection: Automatic reification now handels binding, an example is
  5954 available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy
  5955 
  5956 * HOL-Statespace: ``State Spaces: The Locale Way'' introduces a
  5957 command 'statespace' that is similar to 'record', but introduces an
  5958 abstract specification based on the locale infrastructure instead of
  5959 HOL types.  This leads to extra flexibility in composing state spaces,
  5960 in particular multiple inheritance and renaming of components.
  5961 
  5962 
  5963 *** HOL-Complex ***
  5964 
  5965 * Hyperreal: Functions root and sqrt are now defined on negative real
  5966 inputs so that root n (- x) = - root n x and sqrt (- x) = - sqrt x.
  5967 Nonnegativity side conditions have been removed from many lemmas, so
  5968 that more subgoals may now be solved by simplification; potential
  5969 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5970 
  5971 * Real: new type classes formalize real normed vector spaces and
  5972 algebras, using new overloaded constants scaleR :: real => 'a => 'a
  5973 and norm :: 'a => real.
  5974 
  5975 * Real: constant of_real :: real => 'a::real_algebra_1 injects from
  5976 reals into other types. The overloaded constant Reals :: 'a set is now
  5977 defined as range of_real; potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5978 
  5979 * Real: proper support for ML code generation, including 'quickcheck'.
  5980 Reals are implemented as arbitrary precision rationals.
  5981 
  5982 * Hyperreal: Several constants that previously worked only for the
  5983 reals have been generalized, so they now work over arbitrary vector
  5984 spaces. Type annotations may need to be added in some cases; potential
  5985 INCOMPATIBILITY.

  6001   exp            :: 'a::{recpower,real_normed_field,banach} => 'a
  6002 
  6003 * Complex: Some complex-specific constants are now abbreviations for
  6004 overloaded ones: complex_of_real = of_real, cmod = norm, hcmod =
  6005 hnorm.  Other constants have been entirely removed in favor of the
  6006 polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  6007

  6017 
  6018 
  6019 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  6020 
  6021 * Formalisation of ideals and the quotient construction over rings.
  6022 
  6023 * Order and lattice theory no longer based on records.
  6024 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6025 
  6026 * Renamed lemmas least_carrier -> least_closed and greatest_carrier ->
  6027 greatest_closed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6028 
  6029 * Method algebra is now set up via an attribute.  For examples see
  6030 Ring.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY: the method is now weaker on combinations
  6031 of algebraic structures.
  6032 
  6033 * Renamed theory CRing to Ring.
  6034 
  6035 
  6036 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  6037 
  6038 * Substantial, yet incomplete support for nominal datatypes (binding
  6039 structures) based on HOL-Nominal logic.  See src/HOL/Nominal and
  6040 src/HOL/Nominal/Examples.  Prospective users should consult
  6041 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/nominal/
  6042 
  6043 
  6044 *** ML ***
  6045 
  6046 * ML basics: just one true type int, which coincides with IntInf.int
  6047 (even on SML/NJ).
  6048 
  6049 * ML within Isar: antiquotations allow to embed statically-checked
  6050 formal entities in the source, referring to the context available at
  6051 compile-time.  For example:
  6052 
  6053 ML {* @{sort "{zero,one}"} *}
  6054 ML {* @{typ "'a => 'b"} *}
  6055 ML {* @{term "%x. x"} *}
  6056 ML {* @{prop "x == y"} *}
  6057 ML {* @{ctyp "'a => 'b"} *}
  6058 ML {* @{cterm "%x. x"} *}
  6059 ML {* @{cprop "x == y"} *}
  6060 ML {* @{thm asm_rl} *}
  6061 ML {* @{thms asm_rl} *}
  6062 ML {* @{type_name c} *}
  6063 ML {* @{type_syntax c} *}
  6064 ML {* @{const_name c} *}
  6065 ML {* @{const_syntax c} *}
  6066 ML {* @{context} *}
  6067 ML {* @{theory} *}
  6068 ML {* @{theory Pure} *}
  6069 ML {* @{theory_ref} *}
  6070 ML {* @{theory_ref Pure} *}
  6071 ML {* @{simpset} *}
  6072 ML {* @{claset} *}
  6073 ML {* @{clasimpset} *}
  6074 
  6075 The same works for sources being ``used'' within an Isar context.
  6076 
  6077 * ML in Isar: improved error reporting; extra verbosity with
  6078 ML_Context.trace enabled.
  6079 
  6080 * Pure/General/table.ML: the join operations now works via exceptions
  6081 DUP/SAME instead of type option. This is simpler in simple cases, and
  6082 admits slightly more efficient complex applications.
  6083 
  6084 * Pure: 'advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) now
  6085 use Context.generic instead of just theory.
  6086 
  6087 * Pure: datatype Context.generic joins theory/Proof.context and
  6088 provides some facilities for code that works in either kind of
  6089 context, notably GenericDataFun for uniform theory and proof data.
  6090 
  6091 * Pure: simplified internal attribute type, which is now always
  6092 Context.generic * thm -> Context.generic * thm. Global (theory) vs.
  6093 local (Proof.context) attributes have been discontinued, while
  6094 minimizing code duplication. Thm.rule_attribute and
  6095 Thm.declaration_attribute build canonical attributes; see also structure
  6096 Context for further operations on Context.generic, notably
  6097 GenericDataFun. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt attribute type
  6098 declarations and definitions.
  6099 
  6100 * Context data interfaces (Theory/Proof/GenericDataFun): removed
  6101 name/print, uninitialized data defaults to ad-hoc copy of empty value,
  6102 init only required for impure data. INCOMPATIBILITY: empty really need
  6103 to be empty (no dependencies on theory content!)
  6104 
  6105 * Pure/kernel: consts certification ignores sort constraints given in
  6106 signature declarations. (This information is not relevant to the
  6107 logic, but only for type inference.) SIGNIFICANT INTERNAL CHANGE,
  6108 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6109 
  6110 * Pure: axiomatic type classes are now purely definitional, with
  6111 explicit proofs of class axioms and super class relations performed
  6112 internally. See Pure/axclass.ML for the main internal interfaces --
  6113 notably AxClass.define_class supercedes AxClass.add_axclass, and
  6114 AxClass.axiomatize_class/classrel/arity supersede
  6115 Sign.add_classes/classrel/arities.
  6116 
  6117 * Pure/Isar: Args/Attrib parsers operate on Context.generic --
  6118 global/local versions on theory vs. Proof.context have been
  6119 discontinued; Attrib.syntax and Method.syntax have been adapted
  6120 accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt parser expressions for
  6121 attributes, methods, etc.
  6122 
  6123 * Pure: several functions of signature "... -> theory -> theory * ..."
  6124 have been reoriented to "... -> theory -> ... * theory" in order to
  6125 allow natural usage in combination with the ||>, ||>>, |-> and
  6126 fold_map combinators.
  6127 
  6128 * Pure: official theorem names (closed derivations) and additional
  6129 comments (tags) are now strictly separate.  Name hints -- which are
  6130 maintained as tags -- may be attached any time without affecting the
  6131 derivation.
  6132 
  6133 * Pure: primitive rule lift_rule now takes goal cterm instead of an
  6134 actual goal state (thm).  Use Thm.lift_rule (Thm.cprem_of st i) to
  6135 achieve the old behaviour.
  6136 
  6137 * Pure: the "Goal" constant is now called "prop", supporting a
  6138 slightly more general idea of ``protecting'' meta-level rule
  6139 statements.
  6140 
  6141 * Pure: Logic.(un)varify only works in a global context, which is now
  6142 enforced instead of silently assumed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use
  6143 Logic.legacy_(un)varify as temporary workaround.
  6144 
  6145 * Pure: structure Name provides scalable operations for generating
  6146 internal variable names, notably Name.variants etc.  This replaces
  6147 some popular functions from term.ML:
  6148 
  6149   Term.variant		->  Name.variant
  6150   Term.variantlist	->  Name.variant_list
  6151   Term.invent_names	->  Name.invent_list
  6152 
  6153 Note that low-level renaming rarely occurs in new code -- operations
  6154 from structure Variable are used instead (see below).
  6155 
  6156 * Pure: structure Variable provides fundamental operations for proper
  6157 treatment of fixed/schematic variables in a context.  For example,
  6158 Variable.import introduces fixes for schematics of given facts and
  6159 Variable.export reverses the effect (up to renaming) -- this replaces
  6160 various freeze_thaw operations.
  6161 
  6162 * Pure: structure Goal provides simple interfaces for
  6163 init/conclude/finish and tactical prove operations (replacing former
  6164 Tactic.prove).  Goal.prove is the canonical way to prove results
  6165 within a given context; Goal.prove_global is a degraded version for
  6166 theory level goals, including a global Drule.standard.  Note that
  6167 OldGoals.prove_goalw_cterm has long been obsolete, since it is
  6168 ill-behaved in a local proof context (e.g. with local fixes/assumes or
  6169 in a locale context).
  6170 
  6171 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for parsing (Syntax.parse_term etc.)
  6172 and type checking (Syntax.check_term etc.), with common combinations
  6173 (Syntax.read_term etc.). These supersede former Sign.read_term etc.
  6174 which are considered legacy and await removal.
  6175 
  6176 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for type unchecking
  6177 (Syntax.uncheck_terms etc.) and unparsing (Syntax.unparse_term etc.),
  6178 with common combinations (Syntax.pretty_term, Syntax.string_of_term
  6179 etc.).  Former Sign.pretty_term, Sign.string_of_term etc. are still
  6180 available for convenience, but refer to the very same operations using
  6181 a mere theory instead of a full context.
  6182 
  6183 * Isar: simplified treatment of user-level errors, using exception
  6184 ERROR of string uniformly.  Function error now merely raises ERROR,
  6185 without any side effect on output channels.  The Isar toplevel takes
  6186 care of proper display of ERROR exceptions.  ML code may use plain
  6187 handle/can/try; cat_error may be used to concatenate errors like this:
  6188 
  6189   ... handle ERROR msg => cat_error msg "..."
  6190 
  6191 Toplevel ML code (run directly or through the Isar toplevel) may be
  6192 embedded into the Isar toplevel with exception display/debug like
  6193 this:
  6194 
  6195   Isar.toplevel (fn () => ...)
  6196 
  6197 INCOMPATIBILITY, removed special transform_error facilities, removed
  6198 obsolete variants of user-level exceptions (ERROR_MESSAGE,
  6199 Context.PROOF, ProofContext.CONTEXT, Proof.STATE, ProofHistory.FAIL)
  6200 -- use plain ERROR instead.
  6201 
  6202 * Isar: theory setup now has type (theory -> theory), instead of a
  6203 list.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use #> to compose setup functions.
  6204 
  6205 * Isar: ML toplevel pretty printer for type Proof.context, subject to
  6206 ProofContext.debug/verbose flags.
  6207 
  6208 * Isar: Toplevel.theory_to_proof admits transactions that modify the
  6209 theory before entering a proof state.  Transactions now always see a
  6210 quasi-functional intermediate checkpoint, both in interactive and
  6211 batch mode.
  6212 
  6213 * Isar: simplified interfaces for outer syntax.  Renamed
  6214 OuterSyntax.add_keywords to OuterSyntax.keywords.  Removed
  6215 OuterSyntax.add_parsers -- this functionality is now included in
  6216 OuterSyntax.command etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6217 
  6218 * Simplifier: the simpset of a running simplification process now
  6219 contains a proof context (cf. Simplifier.the_context), which is the
  6220 very context that the initial simpset has been retrieved from (by
  6221 simpset_of/local_simpset_of).  Consequently, all plug-in components
  6222 (solver, looper etc.) may depend on arbitrary proof data.
  6223 
  6224 * Simplifier.inherit_context inherits the proof context (plus the
  6225 local bounds) of the current simplification process; any simproc
  6226 etc. that calls the Simplifier recursively should do this!  Removed
  6227 former Simplifier.inherit_bounds, which is already included here --
  6228 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Tools based on low-level rewriting may even have to
  6229 specify an explicit context using Simplifier.context/theory_context.
  6230 
  6231 * Simplifier/Classical Reasoner: more abstract interfaces
  6232 change_simpset/claset for modifying the simpset/claset reference of a
  6233 theory; raw versions simpset/claset_ref etc. have been discontinued --
  6234 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6235 
  6236 * Provers: more generic wrt. syntax of object-logics, avoid hardwired
  6237 "Trueprop" etc.
  6238 
  6239 
  6240 *** System ***
  6241 
  6242 * settings: the default heap location within ISABELLE_HOME_USER now
  6243 includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER.  This simplifies use of multiple
  6244 Isabelle installations.
  6245 
  6246 * isabelle-process: option -S (secure mode) disables some critical
  6247 operations, notably runtime compilation and evaluation of ML source
  6248 code.
  6249 
  6250 * Basic Isabelle mode for jEdit, see Isabelle/lib/jedit/.
  6251 
  6252 * Support for parallel execution, using native multicore support of
  6253 Poly/ML 5.1.  The theory loader exploits parallelism when processing
  6254 independent theories, according to the given theory header
  6255 specifications. The maximum number of worker threads is specified via
  6256 usedir option -M or the "max-threads" setting in Proof General. A
  6257 speedup factor of 1.5--3.5 can be expected on a 4-core machine, and up
  6258 to 6 on a 8-core machine.  User-code needs to observe certain
  6259 guidelines for thread-safe programming, see appendix A in the Isar
  6260 Implementation manual.
  6261 
  6262 
  6263 
  6264 New in Isabelle2005 (October 2005)
  6265 ----------------------------------
  6266 
  6267 *** General ***
  6268 
  6269 * Theory headers: the new header syntax for Isar theories is
  6270 
  6271   theory <name>
  6272   imports <theory1> ... <theoryN>
  6273   uses <file1> ... <fileM>
  6274   begin
  6275 
  6276 where the 'uses' part is optional.  The previous syntax
  6277 
  6278   theory <name> = <theory1> + ... + <theoryN>:
  6279 
  6280 will disappear in the next release.  Use isatool fixheaders to convert
  6281 existing theory files.  Note that there is no change in ancient
  6282 non-Isar theories now, but these will disappear soon.
  6283 
  6284 * Theory loader: parent theories can now also be referred to via
  6285 relative and absolute paths.
  6286 
  6287 * Command 'find_theorems' searches for a list of criteria instead of a
  6288 list of constants. Known criteria are: intro, elim, dest, name:string,
  6289 simp:term, and any term. Criteria can be preceded by '-' to select
  6290 theorems that do not match. Intro, elim, dest select theorems that
  6291 match the current goal, name:s selects theorems whose fully qualified
  6292 name contain s, and simp:term selects all simplification rules whose
  6293 lhs match term.  Any other term is interpreted as pattern and selects
  6294 all theorems matching the pattern. Available in ProofGeneral under
  6295 'ProofGeneral -> Find Theorems' or C-c C-f.  Example:
  6296 
  6297   C-c C-f (100) "(_::nat) + _ + _" intro -name: "HOL."
  6298 
  6299 prints the last 100 theorems matching the pattern "(_::nat) + _ + _",
  6300 matching the current goal as introduction rule and not having "HOL."
  6301 in their name (i.e. not being defined in theory HOL).
  6302 
  6303 * Command 'thms_containing' has been discontinued in favour of
  6304 'find_theorems'; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6305 
  6306 * Communication with Proof General is now 8bit clean, which means that
  6307 Unicode text in UTF-8 encoding may be used within theory texts (both
  6308 formal and informal parts).  Cf. option -U of the Isabelle Proof
  6309 General interface.  Here are some simple examples (cf. src/HOL/ex):
  6310 
  6311   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Hebrew.html
  6312   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Chinese.html
  6313 
  6314 * Improved efficiency of the Simplifier and, to a lesser degree, the
  6315 Classical Reasoner.  Typical big applications run around 2 times
  6316 faster.
  6317 
  6318 
  6319 *** Document preparation ***
  6320 
  6321 * Commands 'display_drafts' and 'print_drafts' perform simple output
  6322 of raw sources.  Only those symbols that do not require additional
  6323 LaTeX packages (depending on comments in isabellesym.sty) are
  6324 displayed properly, everything else is left verbatim.  isatool display
  6325 and isatool print are used as front ends (these are subject to the
  6326 DVI/PDF_VIEWER and PRINT_COMMAND settings, respectively).
  6327 
  6328 * Command tags control specific markup of certain regions of text,
  6329 notably folding and hiding.  Predefined tags include "theory" (for
  6330 theory begin and end), "proof" for proof commands, and "ML" for
  6331 commands involving ML code; the additional tags "visible" and
  6332 "invisible" are unused by default.  Users may give explicit tag
  6333 specifications in the text, e.g. ''by %invisible (auto)''.  The
  6334 interpretation of tags is determined by the LaTeX job during document
  6335 preparation: see option -V of isatool usedir, or options -n and -t of
  6336 isatool document, or even the LaTeX macros \isakeeptag, \isafoldtag,
  6337 \isadroptag.
  6338 
  6339 Several document versions may be produced at the same time via isatool
  6340 usedir (the generated index.html will link all of them).  Typical
  6341 specifications include ''-V document=theory,proof,ML'' to present
  6342 theory/proof/ML parts faithfully, ''-V outline=/proof,/ML'' to fold
  6343 proof and ML commands, and ''-V mutilated=-theory,-proof,-ML'' to omit
  6344 these parts without any formal replacement text.  The Isabelle site
  6345 default settings produce ''document'' and ''outline'' versions as
  6346 specified above.
  6347 
  6348 * Several new antiquotations:
  6349 
  6350   @{term_type term} prints a term with its type annotated;
  6351 
  6352   @{typeof term} prints the type of a term;
  6353 
  6354   @{const const} is the same as @{term const}, but checks that the
  6355   argument is a known logical constant;
  6356 
  6357   @{term_style style term} and @{thm_style style thm} print a term or
  6358   theorem applying a "style" to it
  6359 
  6360   @{ML text}
  6361 
  6362 Predefined styles are 'lhs' and 'rhs' printing the lhs/rhs of
  6363 definitions, equations, inequations etc., 'concl' printing only the
  6364 conclusion of a meta-logical statement theorem, and 'prem1' .. 'prem19'
  6365 to print the specified premise.  TermStyle.add_style provides an ML
  6366 interface for introducing further styles.  See also the "LaTeX Sugar"
  6367 document practical applications.  The ML antiquotation prints
  6368 type-checked ML expressions verbatim.
  6369 
  6370 * Markup commands 'chapter', 'section', 'subsection', 'subsubsection',
  6371 and 'text' support optional locale specification '(in loc)', which
  6372 specifies the default context for interpreting antiquotations.  For
  6373 example: 'text (in lattice) {* @{thm inf_assoc}*}'.
  6374 
  6375 * Option 'locale=NAME' of antiquotations specifies an alternative
  6376 context interpreting the subsequent argument.  For example: @{thm
  6377 [locale=lattice] inf_assoc}.
  6378 
  6379 * Proper output of proof terms (@{prf ...} and @{full_prf ...}) within
  6380 a proof context.
  6381 
  6382 * Proper output of antiquotations for theory commands involving a
  6383 proof context (such as 'locale' or 'theorem (in loc) ...').
  6384 
  6385 * Delimiters of outer tokens (string etc.) now produce separate LaTeX
  6386 macros (\isachardoublequoteopen, isachardoublequoteclose etc.).
  6387 
  6388 * isatool usedir: new option -C (default true) controls whether option
  6389 -D should include a copy of the original document directory; -C false
  6390 prevents unwanted effects such as copying of administrative CVS data.
  6391 
  6392 
  6393 *** Pure ***
  6394 
  6395 * Considerably improved version of 'constdefs' command.  Now performs
  6396 automatic type-inference of declared constants; additional support for
  6397 local structure declarations (cf. locales and HOL records), see also
  6398 isar-ref manual.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to observe strictly
  6399 sequential dependencies of definitions within a single 'constdefs'
  6400 section; moreover, the declared name needs to be an identifier.  If
  6401 all fails, consider to fall back on 'consts' and 'defs' separately.
  6402 
  6403 * Improved indexed syntax and implicit structures.  First of all,
  6404 indexed syntax provides a notational device for subscripted
  6405 application, using the new syntax \<^bsub>term\<^esub> for arbitrary
  6406 expressions.  Secondly, in a local context with structure
  6407 declarations, number indexes \<^sub>n or the empty index (default
  6408 number 1) refer to a certain fixed variable implicitly; option
  6409 show_structs controls printing of implicit structures.  Typical
  6410 applications of these concepts involve record types and locales.
  6411 
  6412 * New command 'no_syntax' removes grammar declarations (and
  6413 translations) resulting from the given syntax specification, which is
  6414 interpreted in the same manner as for the 'syntax' command.
  6415 
  6416 * 'Advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) may depend
  6417 on the signature of the theory context being presently used for
  6418 parsing/printing, see also isar-ref manual.
  6419 
  6420 * Improved 'oracle' command provides a type-safe interface to turn an
  6421 ML expression of type theory -> T -> term into a primitive rule of
  6422 type theory -> T -> thm (i.e. the functionality of Thm.invoke_oracle
  6423 is already included here); see also FOL/ex/IffExample.thy;
  6424 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6425 
  6426 * axclass: name space prefix for class "c" is now "c_class" (was "c"
  6427 before); "cI" is no longer bound, use "c.intro" instead.
  6428 INCOMPATIBILITY.  This change avoids clashes of fact bindings for
  6429 axclasses vs. locales.
  6430 
  6431 * Improved internal renaming of symbolic identifiers -- attach primes
  6432 instead of base 26 numbers.
  6433 
  6434 * New flag show_question_marks controls printing of leading question
  6435 marks in schematic variable names.
  6436 
  6437 * In schematic variable names, *any* symbol following \<^isub> or
  6438 \<^isup> is now treated as part of the base name.  For example, the
  6439 following works without printing of awkward ".0" indexes:
  6440 
  6441   lemma "x\<^isub>1 = x\<^isub>2 ==> x\<^isub>2 = x\<^isub>1"
  6442     by simp
  6443 
  6444 * Inner syntax includes (*(*nested*) comments*).
  6445 
  6446 * Pretty printer now supports unbreakable blocks, specified in mixfix
  6447 annotations as "(00...)".
  6448 
  6449 * Clear separation of logical types and nonterminals, where the latter
  6450 may only occur in 'syntax' specifications or type abbreviations.
  6451 Before that distinction was only partially implemented via type class
  6452 "logic" vs. "{}".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare cases of improper
  6453 use of 'types'/'consts' instead of 'nonterminals'/'syntax'.  Some very
  6454 exotic syntax specifications may require further adaption
  6455 (e.g. Cube/Cube.thy).
  6456 
  6457 * Removed obsolete type class "logic", use the top sort {} instead.
  6458 Note that non-logical types should be declared as 'nonterminals'
  6459 rather than 'types'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for new object-logic
  6460 specifications.
  6461 
  6462 * Attributes 'induct' and 'cases': type or set names may now be
  6463 locally fixed variables as well.
  6464 
  6465 * Simplifier: can now control the depth to which conditional rewriting
  6466 is traced via the PG menu Isabelle -> Settings -> Trace Simp Depth
  6467 Limit.
  6468 
  6469 * Simplifier: simplification procedures may now take the current
  6470 simpset into account (cf. Simplifier.simproc(_i) / mk_simproc
  6471 interface), which is very useful for calling the Simplifier
  6472 recursively.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: the 'prems' argument of simprocs
  6473 is gone -- use prems_of_ss on the simpset instead.  Moreover, the
  6474 low-level mk_simproc no longer applies Logic.varify internally, to
  6475 allow for use in a context of fixed variables.
  6476 
  6477 * thin_tac now works even if the assumption being deleted contains !!
  6478 or ==>.  More generally, erule now works even if the major premise of
  6479 the elimination rule contains !! or ==>.
  6480 
  6481 * Method 'rules' has been renamed to 'iprover'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6482 
  6483 * Reorganized bootstrapping of the Pure theories; CPure is now derived
  6484 from Pure, which contains all common declarations already.  Both
  6485 theories are defined via plain Isabelle/Isar .thy files.
  6486 INCOMPATIBILITY: elements of CPure (such as the CPure.intro /
  6487 CPure.elim / CPure.dest attributes) now appear in the Pure name space;
  6488 use isatool fixcpure to adapt your theory and ML sources.
  6489 
  6490 * New syntax 'name(i-j, i-, i, ...)' for referring to specific
  6491 selections of theorems in named facts via index ranges.
  6492 
  6493 * 'print_theorems': in theory mode, really print the difference
  6494 wrt. the last state (works for interactive theory development only),
  6495 in proof mode print all local facts (cf. 'print_facts');
  6496 
  6497 * 'hide': option '(open)' hides only base names.
  6498 
  6499 * More efficient treatment of intermediate checkpoints in interactive
  6500 theory development.
  6501 
  6502 * Code generator is now invoked via code_module (incremental code
  6503 generation) and code_library (modular code generation, ML structures
  6504 for each theory).  INCOMPATIBILITY: new keywords 'file' and 'contains'
  6505 must be quoted when used as identifiers.
  6506 
  6507 * New 'value' command for reading, evaluating and printing terms using
  6508 the code generator.  INCOMPATIBILITY: command keyword 'value' must be
  6509 quoted when used as identifier.
  6510 
  6511 
  6512 *** Locales ***
  6513 
  6514 * New commands for the interpretation of locale expressions in
  6515 theories (1), locales (2) and proof contexts (3).  These generate
  6516 proof obligations from the expression specification.  After the
  6517 obligations have been discharged, theorems of the expression are added
  6518 to the theory, target locale or proof context.  The synopsis of the
  6519 commands is a follows:
  6520 
  6521   (1) interpretation expr inst
  6522   (2) interpretation target < expr
  6523   (3) interpret expr inst
  6524 
  6525 Interpretation in theories and proof contexts require a parameter
  6526 instantiation of terms from the current context.  This is applied to
  6527 specifications and theorems of the interpreted expression.
  6528 Interpretation in locales only permits parameter renaming through the
  6529 locale expression.  Interpretation is smart in that interpretations
  6530 that are active already do not occur in proof obligations, neither are
  6531 instantiated theorems stored in duplicate.  Use 'print_interps' to
  6532 inspect active interpretations of a particular locale.  For details,
  6533 see the Isar Reference manual.  Examples can be found in
  6534 HOL/Finite_Set.thy and HOL/Algebra/UnivPoly.thy.
  6535 
  6536 INCOMPATIBILITY: former 'instantiate' has been withdrawn, use
  6537 'interpret' instead.
  6538 
  6539 * New context element 'constrains' for adding type constraints to
  6540 parameters.
  6541 
  6542 * Context expressions: renaming of parameters with syntax
  6543 redeclaration.
  6544 
  6545 * Locale declaration: 'includes' disallowed.
  6546 
  6547 * Proper static binding of attribute syntax -- i.e. types / terms /
  6548 facts mentioned as arguments are always those of the locale definition
  6549 context, independently of the context of later invocations.  Moreover,
  6550 locale operations (renaming and type / term instantiation) are applied
  6551 to attribute arguments as expected.
  6552 
  6553 INCOMPATIBILITY of the ML interface: always pass Attrib.src instead of
  6554 actual attributes; rare situations may require Attrib.attribute to
  6555 embed those attributes into Attrib.src that lack concrete syntax.
  6556 Attribute implementations need to cooperate properly with the static
  6557 binding mechanism.  Basic parsers Args.XXX_typ/term/prop and
  6558 Attrib.XXX_thm etc. already do the right thing without further
  6559 intervention.  Only unusual applications -- such as "where" or "of"
  6560 (cf. src/Pure/Isar/attrib.ML), which process arguments depending both
  6561 on the context and the facts involved -- may have to assign parsed
  6562 values to argument tokens explicitly.
  6563 
  6564 * Changed parameter management in theorem generation for long goal
  6565 statements with 'includes'.  INCOMPATIBILITY: produces a different
  6566 theorem statement in rare situations.
  6567 
  6568 * Locale inspection command 'print_locale' omits notes elements.  Use
  6569 'print_locale!' to have them included in the output.
  6570 
  6571 
  6572 *** Provers ***
  6573 
  6574 * Provers/hypsubst.ML: improved version of the subst method, for
  6575 single-step rewriting: it now works in bound variable contexts. New is
  6576 'subst (asm)', for rewriting an assumption.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may
  6577 rewrite a different subterm than the original subst method, which is
  6578 still available as 'simplesubst'.
  6579 
  6580 * Provers/quasi.ML: new transitivity reasoners for transitivity only
  6581 and quasi orders.
  6582 
  6583 * Provers/trancl.ML: new transitivity reasoner for transitive and
  6584 reflexive-transitive closure of relations.
  6585 
  6586 * Provers/blast.ML: new reference depth_limit to make blast's depth
  6587 limit (previously hard-coded with a value of 20) user-definable.
  6588 
  6589 * Provers/simplifier.ML has been moved to Pure, where Simplifier.setup
  6590 is peformed already.  Object-logics merely need to finish their
  6591 initial simpset configuration as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6592 
  6593 
  6594 *** HOL ***
  6595 
  6596 * Symbolic syntax of Hilbert Choice Operator is now as follows:
  6597 
  6598   syntax (epsilon)
  6599     "_Eps" :: "[pttrn, bool] => 'a"    ("(3\<some>_./ _)" [0, 10] 10)
  6600 
  6601 The symbol \<some> is displayed as the alternative epsilon of LaTeX
  6602 and x-symbol; use option '-m epsilon' to get it actually printed.
  6603 Moreover, the mathematically important symbolic identifier \<epsilon>
  6604 becomes available as variable, constant etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  6605 
  6606 * "x > y" abbreviates "y < x" and "x >= y" abbreviates "y <= x".
  6607 Similarly for all quantifiers: "ALL x > y" etc.  The x-symbol for >=
  6608 is \<ge>. New transitivity rules have been added to HOL/Orderings.thy to
  6609 support corresponding Isar calculations.
  6610 
  6611 * "{x:A. P}" abbreviates "{x. x:A & P}", and similarly for "\<in>"
  6612 instead of ":".
  6613 
  6614 * theory SetInterval: changed the syntax for open intervals:
  6615 
  6616   Old       New
  6617   {..n(}    {..<n}
  6618   {)n..}    {n<..}
  6619   {m..n(}   {m..<n}
  6620   {)m..n}   {m<..n}
  6621   {)m..n(}  {m<..<n}
  6622 
  6623 The old syntax is still supported but will disappear in the next
  6624 release.  For conversion use the following Emacs search and replace
  6625 patterns (these are not perfect but work quite well):
  6626 
  6627   {)\([^\.]*\)\.\.  ->  {\1<\.\.}
  6628   \.\.\([^(}]*\)(}  ->  \.\.<\1}
  6629 
  6630 * Theory Commutative_Ring (in Library): method comm_ring for proving
  6631 equalities in commutative rings; method 'algebra' provides a generic
  6632 interface.
  6633 
  6634 * Theory Finite_Set: changed the syntax for 'setsum', summation over
  6635 finite sets: "setsum (%x. e) A", which used to be "\<Sum>x:A. e", is
  6636 now either "SUM x:A. e" or "\<Sum>x \<in> A. e". The bound variable can
  6637 be a tuple pattern.
  6638 
  6639 Some new syntax forms are available:
  6640 
  6641   "\<Sum>x | P. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {x. P}"
  6642   "\<Sum>x = a..b. e"   for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..b}"
  6643   "\<Sum>x = a..<b. e"  for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..<b}"
  6644   "\<Sum>x < k. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {..<k}"
  6645 
  6646 The latter form "\<Sum>x < k. e" used to be based on a separate
  6647 function "Summation", which has been discontinued.
  6648 
  6649 * theory Finite_Set: in structured induction proofs, the insert case
  6650 is now 'case (insert x F)' instead of the old counterintuitive 'case
  6651 (insert F x)'.
  6652 
  6653 * The 'refute' command has been extended to support a much larger
  6654 fragment of HOL, including axiomatic type classes, constdefs and
  6655 typedefs, inductive datatypes and recursion.
  6656 
  6657 * New tactics 'sat' and 'satx' to prove propositional tautologies.
  6658 Requires zChaff with proof generation to be installed.  See
  6659 HOL/ex/SAT_Examples.thy for examples.
  6660 
  6661 * Datatype induction via method 'induct' now preserves the name of the
  6662 induction variable. For example, when proving P(xs::'a list) by
  6663 induction on xs, the induction step is now P(xs) ==> P(a#xs) rather
  6664 than P(list) ==> P(a#list) as previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  6665 in unstructured proof scripts.
  6666 
  6667 * Reworked implementation of records.  Improved scalability for
  6668 records with many fields, avoiding performance problems for type
  6669 inference. Records are no longer composed of nested field types, but
  6670 of nested extension types. Therefore the record type only grows linear
  6671 in the number of extensions and not in the number of fields.  The
  6672 top-level (users) view on records is preserved.  Potential
  6673 INCOMPATIBILITY only in strange cases, where the theory depends on the
  6674 old record representation. The type generated for a record is called
  6675 <record_name>_ext_type.
  6676 
  6677 Flag record_quick_and_dirty_sensitive can be enabled to skip the
  6678 proofs triggered by a record definition or a simproc (if
  6679 quick_and_dirty is enabled).  Definitions of large records can take
  6680 quite long.
  6681 
  6682 New simproc record_upd_simproc for simplification of multiple record
  6683 updates enabled by default.  Moreover, trivial updates are also
  6684 removed: r(|x := x r|) = r.  INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break
  6685 occasionally, since simplification is more powerful by default.
  6686 
  6687 * typedef: proper support for polymorphic sets, which contain extra
  6688 type-variables in the term.
  6689 
  6690 * Simplifier: automatically reasons about transitivity chains
  6691 involving "trancl" (r^+) and "rtrancl" (r^*) by setting up tactics
  6692 provided by Provers/trancl.ML as additional solvers.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6693 old proofs break occasionally as simplification may now solve more
  6694 goals than previously.
  6695 
  6696 * Simplifier: converts x <= y into x = y if assumption y <= x is
  6697 present.  Works for all partial orders (class "order"), in particular
  6698 numbers and sets.  For linear orders (e.g. numbers) it treats ~ x < y
  6699 just like y <= x.
  6700 
  6701 * Simplifier: new simproc for "let x = a in f x".  If a is a free or
  6702 bound variable or a constant then the let is unfolded.  Otherwise
  6703 first a is simplified to b, and then f b is simplified to g. If
  6704 possible we abstract b from g arriving at "let x = b in h x",
  6705 otherwise we unfold the let and arrive at g.  The simproc can be
  6706 enabled/disabled by the reference use_let_simproc.  Potential
  6707 INCOMPATIBILITY since simplification is more powerful by default.
  6708 
  6709 * Classical reasoning: the meson method now accepts theorems as arguments.
  6710 
  6711 * Prover support: pre-release of the Isabelle-ATP linkup, which runs background
  6712 jobs to provide advice on the provability of subgoals.
  6713 
  6714 * Theory OrderedGroup and Ring_and_Field: various additions and
  6715 improvements to faciliate calculations involving equalities and
  6716 inequalities.
  6717 
  6718 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  6719 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  6720 
  6721   abs_eq             now named abs_of_nonneg
  6722   abs_of_ge_0        now named abs_of_nonneg

  6728   mult_pos_neg_le    now named mult_nonneg_nonpos
  6729   mult_pos_neg2_le   now named mult_nonneg_nonpos2
  6730   mult_neg           now named mult_neg_neg
  6731   mult_neg_le        now named mult_nonpos_nonpos
  6732 
  6733 * The following lemmas in Ring_and_Field have been added to the simplifier:
  6734 
  6735      zero_le_square
  6736      not_square_less_zero
  6737 
  6738   The following lemmas have been deleted from Real/RealPow:
  6739 
  6740      realpow_zero_zero
  6741      realpow_two
  6742      realpow_less
  6743      zero_le_power
  6744      realpow_two_le
  6745      abs_realpow_two
  6746      realpow_two_abs
  6747 
  6748 * Theory Parity: added rules for simplifying exponents.
  6749 
  6750 * Theory List:
  6751 
  6752 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  6753 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  6754 
  6755   list_all_Nil       now named list_all.simps(1)
  6756   list_all_Cons      now named list_all.simps(2)
  6757   list_all_conv      now named list_all_iff
  6758   set_mem_eq         now named mem_iff
  6759 
  6760 * Theories SetsAndFunctions and BigO (see HOL/Library) support
  6761 asymptotic "big O" calculations.  See the notes in BigO.thy.
  6762 
  6763 
  6764 *** HOL-Complex ***
  6765 
  6766 * Theory RealDef: better support for embedding natural numbers and
  6767 integers in the reals.
  6768 
  6769 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  6770 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  6771 
  6772   exp_ge_add_one_self  now requires no hypotheses
  6773   real_of_int_add      reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  6774   real_of_int_minus    reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  6775   real_of_int_diff     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  6776   real_of_int_mult     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  6777 
  6778 * Theory RComplete: expanded support for floor and ceiling functions.
  6779 
  6780 * Theory Ln is new, with properties of the natural logarithm
  6781 
  6782 * Hyperreal: There is a new type constructor "star" for making
  6783 nonstandard types.  The old type names are now type synonyms:
  6784 
  6785   hypreal = real star
  6786   hypnat = nat star
  6787   hcomplex = complex star
  6788 
  6789 * Hyperreal: Many groups of similarly-defined constants have been
  6790 replaced by polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  6791

  6805 
  6806 * Hyperreal: Many type-specific theorems have been removed in favor of
  6807 theorems specific to various axiomatic type classes (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  6833 
  6834 * Hyperreal: Separate theorems having to do with type-specific
  6835 versions of constants have been merged into theorems that apply to the
  6836 new polymorphic constants (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  6927 * Hyperreal: new method "transfer" that implements the transfer
  6928 principle of nonstandard analysis. With a subgoal that mentions
  6929 nonstandard types like "'a star", the command "apply transfer"
  6930 replaces it with an equivalent one that mentions only standard types.
  6931 To be successful, all free variables must have standard types; non-
  6932 standard variables must have explicit universal quantifiers.
  6933 
  6934 * Hyperreal: A theory of Taylor series.
  6935 
  6936 
  6937 *** HOLCF ***
  6938 
  6939 * Discontinued special version of 'constdefs' (which used to support
  6940 continuous functions) in favor of the general Pure one with full
  6941 type-inference.
  6942 
  6943 * New simplification procedure for solving continuity conditions; it
  6944 is much faster on terms with many nested lambda abstractions (cubic
  6945 instead of exponential time).
  6946 
  6947 * New syntax for domain package: selector names are now optional.
  6948 Parentheses should be omitted unless argument is lazy, for example:
  6949 
  6950   domain 'a stream = cons "'a" (lazy "'a stream")
  6951 
  6952 * New command 'fixrec' for defining recursive functions with pattern
  6953 matching; defining multiple functions with mutual recursion is also
  6954 supported.  Patterns may include the constants cpair, spair, up, sinl,
  6955 sinr, or any data constructor defined by the domain package. The given
  6956 equations are proven as rewrite rules. See HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  6957 syntax and examples.
  6958 
  6959 * New commands 'cpodef' and 'pcpodef' for defining predicate subtypes
  6960 of cpo and pcpo types. Syntax is exactly like the 'typedef' command,
  6961 but the proof obligation additionally includes an admissibility
  6962 requirement. The packages generate instances of class cpo or pcpo,
  6963 with continuity and strictness theorems for Rep and Abs.
  6964 
  6965 * HOLCF: Many theorems have been renamed according to a more standard naming
  6966 scheme (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  6967 
  6968   foo_inject:  "foo$x = foo$y ==> x = y"
  6969   foo_eq:      "(foo$x = foo$y) = (x = y)"
  6970   foo_less:    "(foo$x << foo$y) = (x << y)"
  6971   foo_strict:  "foo$UU = UU"
  6972   foo_defined: "... ==> foo$x ~= UU"
  6973   foo_defined_iff: "(foo$x = UU) = (x = UU)"
  6974 
  6975 
  6976 *** ZF ***
  6977 
  6978 * ZF/ex: theories Group and Ring provide examples in abstract algebra,
  6979 including the First Isomorphism Theorem (on quotienting by the kernel
  6980 of a homomorphism).
  6981 
  6982 * ZF/Simplifier: install second copy of type solver that actually
  6983 makes use of TC rules declared to Isar proof contexts (or locales);
  6984 the old version is still required for ML proof scripts.
  6985 
  6986 
  6987 *** Cube ***
  6988 
  6989 * Converted to Isar theory format; use locales instead of axiomatic
  6990 theories.
  6991 
  6992 
  6993 *** ML ***
  6994 
  6995 * Pure/library.ML: added ##>, ##>>, #>> -- higher-order counterparts
  6996 for ||>, ||>>, |>>,
  6997 
  6998 * Pure/library.ML no longer defines its own option datatype, but uses
  6999 that of the SML basis, which has constructors NONE and SOME instead of
  7000 None and Some, as well as exception Option.Option instead of OPTION.
  7001 The functions the, if_none, is_some, is_none have been adapted
  7002 accordingly, while Option.map replaces apsome.
  7003 
  7004 * Pure/library.ML: the exception LIST has been given up in favour of
  7005 the standard exceptions Empty and Subscript, as well as
  7006 Library.UnequalLengths.  Function like Library.hd and Library.tl are
  7007 superceded by the standard hd and tl functions etc.
  7008 
  7009 A number of basic list functions are no longer exported to the ML
  7010 toplevel, as they are variants of predefined functions.  The following
  7011 suggests how one can translate existing code:
  7012 
  7013     rev_append xs ys = List.revAppend (xs, ys)
  7014     nth_elem (i, xs) = List.nth (xs, i)
  7015     last_elem xs = List.last xs
  7016     flat xss = List.concat xss
  7017     seq fs = List.app fs
  7018     partition P xs = List.partition P xs
  7019     mapfilter f xs = List.mapPartial f xs
  7020 
  7021 * Pure/library.ML: several combinators for linear functional
  7022 transformations, notably reverse application and composition:
  7023 
  7024   x |> f                f #> g
  7025   (x, y) |-> f          f #-> g
  7026 
  7027 * Pure/library.ML: introduced/changed precedence of infix operators:
  7028 
  7029   infix 1 |> |-> ||> ||>> |>> |>>> #> #->;
  7030   infix 2 ?;
  7031   infix 3 o oo ooo oooo;
  7032   infix 4 ~~ upto downto;
  7033 
  7034 Maybe INCOMPATIBILITY when any of those is used in conjunction with other
  7035 infix operators.
  7036 
  7037 * Pure/library.ML: natural list combinators fold, fold_rev, and
  7038 fold_map support linear functional transformations and nesting.  For
  7039 example:
  7040 
  7041   fold f [x1, ..., xN] y =
  7042     y |> f x1 |> ... |> f xN
  7043 
  7044   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] y =
  7045     y |> fold f xs1 |> ... |> fold f xsN
  7046 
  7047   fold f [x1, ..., xN] =
  7048     f x1 #> ... #> f xN
  7049 
  7050   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] =
  7051     fold f xs1 #> ... #> fold f xsN
  7052 
  7053 * Pure/library.ML: the following selectors on type 'a option are
  7054 available:
  7055 
  7056   the:               'a option -> 'a  (*partial*)
  7057   these:             'a option -> 'a  where 'a = 'b list
  7058   the_default: 'a -> 'a option -> 'a
  7059   the_list:          'a option -> 'a list
  7060 
  7061 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  7062 basic operations for association lists, following natural argument
  7063 order; moreover the explicit equality predicate passed here avoids
  7064 potentially expensive polymorphic runtime equality checks.
  7065 The old functions may be expressed as follows:
  7066 
  7067   assoc = uncurry (AList.lookup (op =))
  7068   assocs = these oo AList.lookup (op =)
  7069   overwrite = uncurry (AList.update (op =)) o swap
  7070 
  7071 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  7072 
  7073   val make: ('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> ('a * 'b) list
  7074   val find: ('a * 'b -> bool) -> ('c * 'b) list -> 'a -> 'c list
  7075 
  7076 replacing make_keylist and keyfilter (occassionally used)
  7077 Naive rewrites:
  7078 
  7079   make_keylist = AList.make
  7080   keyfilter = AList.find (op =)
  7081 
  7082 * eq_fst and eq_snd now take explicit equality parameter, thus
  7083   avoiding eqtypes. Naive rewrites:
  7084 
  7085     eq_fst = eq_fst (op =)
  7086     eq_snd = eq_snd (op =)
  7087 
  7088 * Removed deprecated apl and apr (rarely used).
  7089   Naive rewrites:
  7090 
  7091     apl (n, op) =>>= curry op n
  7092     apr (op, m) =>>= fn n => op (n, m)
  7093 
  7094 * Pure/General: structure OrdList (cf. Pure/General/ord_list.ML)
  7095 provides a reasonably efficient light-weight implementation of sets as
  7096 lists.
  7097 
  7098 * Pure/General: generic tables (cf. Pure/General/table.ML) provide a
  7099 few new operations; existing lookup and update are now curried to
  7100 follow natural argument order (for use with fold etc.);
  7101 INCOMPATIBILITY, use (uncurry Symtab.lookup) etc. as last resort.
  7102 
  7103 * Pure/General: output via the Isabelle channels of
  7104 writeln/warning/error etc. is now passed through Output.output, with a
  7105 hook for arbitrary transformations depending on the print_mode
  7106 (cf. Output.add_mode -- the first active mode that provides a output
  7107 function wins).  Already formatted output may be embedded into further
  7108 text via Output.raw; the result of Pretty.string_of/str_of and derived
  7109 functions (string_of_term/cterm/thm etc.) is already marked raw to
  7110 accommodate easy composition of diagnostic messages etc.  Programmers
  7111 rarely need to care about Output.output or Output.raw at all, with
  7112 some notable exceptions: Output.output is required when bypassing the
  7113 standard channels (writeln etc.), or in token translations to produce
  7114 properly formatted results; Output.raw is required when capturing
  7115 already output material that will eventually be presented to the user
  7116 a second time.  For the default print mode, both Output.output and
  7117 Output.raw have no effect.
  7118 
  7119 * Pure/General: Output.time_accumulator NAME creates an operator ('a
  7120 -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'b to measure runtime and count invocations; the
  7121 cumulative results are displayed at the end of a batch session.
  7122 
  7123 * Pure/General: File.sysify_path and File.quote_sysify path have been
  7124 replaced by File.platform_path and File.shell_path (with appropriate
  7125 hooks).  This provides a clean interface for unusual systems where the
  7126 internal and external process view of file names are different.
  7127 
  7128 * Pure: more efficient orders for basic syntactic entities: added
  7129 fast_string_ord, fast_indexname_ord, fast_term_ord; changed sort_ord
  7130 and typ_ord to use fast_string_ord and fast_indexname_ord (term_ord is
  7131 NOT affected); structures Symtab, Vartab, Typtab, Termtab use the fast
  7132 orders now -- potential INCOMPATIBILITY for code that depends on a
  7133 particular order for Symtab.keys, Symtab.dest, etc. (consider using
  7134 Library.sort_strings on result).
  7135 
  7136 * Pure/term.ML: combinators fold_atyps, fold_aterms, fold_term_types,
  7137 fold_types traverse types/terms from left to right, observing natural
  7138 argument order.  Supercedes previous foldl_XXX versions, add_frees,
  7139 add_vars etc. have been adapted as well: INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7140 
  7141 * Pure: name spaces have been refined, with significant changes of the
  7142 internal interfaces -- INCOMPATIBILITY.  Renamed cond_extern(_table)
  7143 to extern(_table).  The plain name entry path is superceded by a
  7144 general 'naming' context, which also includes the 'policy' to produce
  7145 a fully qualified name and external accesses of a fully qualified
  7146 name; NameSpace.extend is superceded by context dependent
  7147 Sign.declare_name.  Several theory and proof context operations modify
  7148 the naming context.  Especially note Theory.restore_naming and
  7149 ProofContext.restore_naming to get back to a sane state; note that
  7150 Theory.add_path is no longer sufficient to recover from
  7151 Theory.absolute_path in particular.
  7152 
  7153 * Pure: new flags short_names (default false) and unique_names
  7154 (default true) for controlling output of qualified names.  If
  7155 short_names is set, names are printed unqualified.  If unique_names is
  7156 reset, the name prefix is reduced to the minimum required to achieve
  7157 the original result when interning again, even if there is an overlap
  7158 with earlier declarations.
  7159 
  7160 * Pure/TheoryDataFun: change of the argument structure; 'prep_ext' is
  7161 now 'extend', and 'merge' gets an additional Pretty.pp argument
  7162 (useful for printing error messages).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7163 
  7164 * Pure: major reorganization of the theory context.  Type Sign.sg and
  7165 Theory.theory are now identified, referring to the universal
  7166 Context.theory (see Pure/context.ML).  Actual signature and theory
  7167 content is managed as theory data.  The old code and interfaces were
  7168 spread over many files and structures; the new arrangement introduces
  7169 considerable INCOMPATIBILITY to gain more clarity:
  7170 
  7171   Context -- theory management operations (name, identity, inclusion,
  7172     parents, ancestors, merge, etc.), plus generic theory data;
  7173 
  7174   Sign -- logical signature and syntax operations (declaring consts,
  7175     types, etc.), plus certify/read for common entities;
  7176 
  7177   Theory -- logical theory operations (stating axioms, definitions,
  7178     oracles), plus a copy of logical signature operations (consts,
  7179     types, etc.); also a few basic management operations (Theory.copy,
  7180     Theory.merge, etc.)
  7181 
  7182 The most basic sign_of operations (Theory.sign_of, Thm.sign_of_thm
  7183 etc.) as well as the sign field in Thm.rep_thm etc. have been retained
  7184 for convenience -- they merely return the theory.
  7185 
  7186 * Pure: type Type.tsig is superceded by theory in most interfaces.
  7187 
  7188 * Pure: the Isar proof context type is already defined early in Pure
  7189 as Context.proof (note that ProofContext.context and Proof.context are
  7190 aliases, where the latter is the preferred name).  This enables other
  7191 Isabelle components to refer to that type even before Isar is present.
  7192 
  7193 * Pure/sign/theory: discontinued named name spaces (i.e. classK,
  7194 typeK, constK, axiomK, oracleK), but provide explicit operations for
  7195 any of these kinds.  For example, Sign.intern typeK is now
  7196 Sign.intern_type, Theory.hide_space Sign.typeK is now
  7197 Theory.hide_types.  Also note that former
  7198 Theory.hide_classes/types/consts are now
  7199 Theory.hide_classes_i/types_i/consts_i, while the non '_i' versions
  7200 internalize their arguments!  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7201 
  7202 * Pure: get_thm interface (of PureThy and ProofContext) expects
  7203 datatype thmref (with constructors Name and NameSelection) instead of
  7204 plain string -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  7205 
  7206 * Pure: cases produced by proof methods specify options, where NONE
  7207 means to remove case bindings -- INCOMPATIBILITY in
  7208 (RAW_)METHOD_CASES.
  7209 
  7210 * Pure: the following operations retrieve axioms or theorems from a
  7211 theory node or theory hierarchy, respectively:
  7212 
  7213   Theory.axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  7214   Theory.all_axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  7215   PureThy.thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  7216   PureThy.all_thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  7217 
  7218 * Pure: print_tac now outputs the goal through the trace channel.
  7219 
  7220 * Isar toplevel: improved diagnostics, mostly for Poly/ML only.
  7221 Reference Toplevel.debug (default false) controls detailed printing
  7222 and tracing of low-level exceptions; Toplevel.profiling (default 0)
  7223 controls execution profiling -- set to 1 for time and 2 for space
  7224 (both increase the runtime).
  7225 
  7226 * Isar session: The initial use of ROOT.ML is now always timed,
  7227 i.e. the log will show the actual process times, in contrast to the
  7228 elapsed wall-clock time that the outer shell wrapper produces.
  7229 
  7230 * Simplifier: improved handling of bound variables (nameless
  7231 representation, avoid allocating new strings).  Simprocs that invoke
  7232 the Simplifier recursively should use Simplifier.inherit_bounds to
  7233 avoid local name clashes.  Failure to do so produces warnings
  7234 "Simplifier: renamed bound variable ..."; set Simplifier.debug_bounds
  7235 for further details.
  7236 
  7237 * ML functions legacy_bindings and use_legacy_bindings produce ML fact
  7238 bindings for all theorems stored within a given theory; this may help
  7239 in porting non-Isar theories to Isar ones, while keeping ML proof
  7240 scripts for the time being.
  7241 
  7242 * ML operator HTML.with_charset specifies the charset begin used for
  7243 generated HTML files.  For example:
  7244 
  7245   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Hebrew";
  7246   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Chinese";
  7247 
  7248 
  7249 *** System ***
  7250 
  7251 * Allow symlinks to all proper Isabelle executables (Isabelle,
  7252 isabelle, isatool etc.).
  7253 
  7254 * ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT setting specifies preferred document format (for
  7255 isatool doc, isatool mkdir, display_drafts etc.).
  7256 
  7257 * isatool usedir: option -f allows specification of the ML file to be
  7258 used by Isabelle; default is ROOT.ML.
  7259 
  7260 * New isatool version outputs the version identifier of the Isabelle
  7261 distribution being used.
  7262 
  7263 * HOL: new isatool dimacs2hol converts files in DIMACS CNF format
  7264 (containing Boolean satisfiability problems) into Isabelle/HOL
  7265 theories.
  7266 
  7267 
  7268 
  7269 New in Isabelle2004 (April 2004)
  7270 --------------------------------
  7271 
  7272 *** General ***
  7273 
  7274 * Provers/order.ML:  new efficient reasoner for partial and linear orders.
  7275   Replaces linorder.ML.
  7276 
  7277 * Pure: Greek letters (except small lambda, \<lambda>), as well as Gothic
  7278   (\<aa>...\<zz>\<AA>...\<ZZ>), calligraphic (\<A>...\<Z>), and Euler
  7279   (\<a>...\<z>), are now considered normal letters, and can therefore
  7280   be used anywhere where an ASCII letter (a...zA...Z) has until
  7281   now. COMPATIBILITY: This obviously changes the parsing of some
  7282   terms, especially where a symbol has been used as a binder, say
  7283   '\<Pi>x. ...', which is now a type error since \<Pi>x will be parsed
  7284   as an identifier.  Fix it by inserting a space around former
  7285   symbols.  Call 'isatool fixgreek' to try to fix parsing errors in
  7286   existing theory and ML files.
  7287 
  7288 * Pure: Macintosh and Windows line-breaks are now allowed in theory files.
  7289 
  7290 * Pure: single letter sub/superscripts (\<^isub> and \<^isup>) are now
  7291   allowed in identifiers. Similar to Greek letters \<^isub> is now considered
  7292   a normal (but invisible) letter. For multiple letter subscripts repeat
  7293   \<^isub> like this: x\<^isub>1\<^isub>2.
  7294 
  7295 * Pure: There are now sub-/superscripts that can span more than one
  7296   character. Text between \<^bsub> and \<^esub> is set in subscript in
  7297   ProofGeneral and LaTeX, text between \<^bsup> and \<^esup> in
  7298   superscript. The new control characters are not identifier parts.
  7299 
  7300 * Pure: Control-symbols of the form \<^raw:...> will literally print the
  7301   content of "..." to the latex file instead of \isacntrl... . The "..."
  7302   may consist of any printable characters excluding the end bracket >.
  7303 
  7304 * Pure: Using new Isar command "finalconsts" (or the ML functions
  7305   Theory.add_finals or Theory.add_finals_i) it is now possible to
  7306   declare constants "final", which prevents their being given a definition
  7307   later.  It is useful for constants whose behaviour is fixed axiomatically
  7308   rather than definitionally, such as the meta-logic connectives.
  7309 
  7310 * Pure: 'instance' now handles general arities with general sorts
  7311   (i.e. intersections of classes),
  7312 
  7313 * Presentation: generated HTML now uses a CSS style sheet to make layout
  7314   (somewhat) independent of content. It is copied from lib/html/isabelle.css.
  7315   It can be changed to alter the colors/layout of generated pages.
  7316 
  7317 
  7318 *** Isar ***
  7319 
  7320 * Tactic emulation methods rule_tac, erule_tac, drule_tac, frule_tac,
  7321   cut_tac, subgoal_tac and thin_tac:
  7322   - Now understand static (Isar) contexts.  As a consequence, users of Isar
  7323     locales are no longer forced to write Isar proof scripts.
  7324     For details see Isar Reference Manual, paragraph 4.3.2: Further tactic
  7325     emulations.
  7326   - INCOMPATIBILITY: names of variables to be instantiated may no
  7327     longer be enclosed in quotes.  Instead, precede variable name with `?'.
  7328     This is consistent with the instantiation attribute "where".
  7329 
  7330 * Attributes "where" and "of":
  7331   - Now take type variables of instantiated theorem into account when reading
  7332     the instantiation string.  This fixes a bug that caused instantiated
  7333     theorems to have too special types in some circumstances.
  7334   - "where" permits explicit instantiations of type variables.
  7335 
  7336 * Calculation commands "moreover" and "also" no longer interfere with
  7337   current facts ("this"), admitting arbitrary combinations with "then"
  7338   and derived forms.
  7339 
  7340 * Locales:
  7341   - Goal statements involving the context element "includes" no longer
  7342     generate theorems with internal delta predicates (those ending on
  7343     "_axioms") in the premise.
  7344     Resolve particular premise with <locale>.intro to obtain old form.
  7345   - Fixed bug in type inference ("unify_frozen") that prevented mix of target
  7346     specification and "includes" elements in goal statement.
  7347   - Rule sets <locale>.intro and <locale>.axioms no longer declared as
  7348     [intro?] and [elim?] (respectively) by default.
  7349   - Experimental command for instantiation of locales in proof contexts:
  7350         instantiate <label>[<attrs>]: <loc>
  7351     Instantiates locale <loc> and adds all its theorems to the current context
  7352     taking into account their attributes.  Label and attrs are optional
  7353     modifiers, like in theorem declarations.  If present, names of
  7354     instantiated theorems are qualified with <label>, and the attributes
  7355     <attrs> are applied after any attributes these theorems might have already.
  7356       If the locale has assumptions, a chained fact of the form
  7357     "<loc> t1 ... tn" is expected from which instantiations of the parameters
  7358     are derived.  The command does not support old-style locales declared
  7359     with "locale (open)".
  7360       A few (very simple) examples can be found in FOL/ex/LocaleInst.thy.
  7361 
  7362 * HOL: Tactic emulation methods induct_tac and case_tac understand static
  7363   (Isar) contexts.
  7364 
  7365 
  7366 *** HOL ***
  7367 
  7368 * Proof import: new image HOL4 contains the imported library from
  7369   the HOL4 system with about 2500 theorems. It is imported by
  7370   replaying proof terms produced by HOL4 in Isabelle. The HOL4 image
  7371   can be used like any other Isabelle image.  See
  7372   HOL/Import/HOL/README for more information.
  7373 
  7374 * Simplifier:
  7375   - Much improved handling of linear and partial orders.
  7376     Reasoners for linear and partial orders are set up for type classes
  7377     "linorder" and "order" respectively, and are added to the default simpset
  7378     as solvers.  This means that the simplifier can build transitivity chains
  7379     to solve goals from the assumptions.
  7380   - INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break occasionally.  Typically, applications
  7381     of blast or auto after simplification become unnecessary because the goal
  7382     is solved by simplification already.
  7383 
  7384 * Numerics: new theory Ring_and_Field contains over 250 basic numerical laws,
  7385     all proved in axiomatic type classes for semirings, rings and fields.
  7386 
  7387 * Numerics:
  7388   - Numeric types (nat, int, and in HOL-Complex rat, real, complex, etc.) are
  7389     now formalized using the Ring_and_Field theory mentioned above.
  7390   - INCOMPATIBILITY: simplification and arithmetic behaves somewhat differently
  7391     than before, because now they are set up once in a generic manner.
  7392   - INCOMPATIBILITY: many type-specific arithmetic laws have gone.
  7393     Look for the general versions in Ring_and_Field (and Power if they concern
  7394     exponentiation).
  7395 
  7396 * Type "rat" of the rational numbers is now available in HOL-Complex.
  7397 
  7398 * Records:
  7399   - Record types are now by default printed with their type abbreviation
  7400     instead of the list of all field types. This can be configured via
  7401     the reference "print_record_type_abbr".
  7402   - Simproc "record_upd_simproc" for simplification of multiple updates added
  7403     (not enabled by default).
  7404   - Simproc "record_ex_sel_eq_simproc" to simplify EX x. sel r = x resp.
  7405     EX x. x = sel r to True (not enabled by default).
  7406   - Tactic "record_split_simp_tac" to split and simplify records added.
  7407 
  7408 * 'specification' command added, allowing for definition by
  7409   specification.  There is also an 'ax_specification' command that
  7410   introduces the new constants axiomatically.
  7411 
  7412 * arith(_tac) is now able to generate counterexamples for reals as well.
  7413 
  7414 * HOL-Algebra: new locale "ring" for non-commutative rings.
  7415 
  7416 * HOL-ex: InductiveInvariant_examples illustrates advanced recursive function
  7417   definitions, thanks to Sava Krsti\'{c} and John Matthews.
  7418 
  7419 * HOL-Matrix: a first theory for matrices in HOL with an application of
  7420   matrix theory to linear programming.
  7421 
  7422 * Unions and Intersections:
  7423   The latex output syntax of UN and INT has been changed
  7424   from "\Union x \in A. B" to "\Union_{x \in A} B"
  7425   i.e. the index formulae has become a subscript.
  7426   Similarly for "\Union x. B", and for \Inter instead of \Union.
  7427 
  7428 * Unions and Intersections over Intervals:
  7429   There is new short syntax "UN i<=n. A" for "UN i:{0..n}. A". There is
  7430   also an x-symbol version with subscripts "\<Union>\<^bsub>i <= n\<^esub>. A"
  7431   like in normal math, and corresponding versions for < and for intersection.
  7432 
  7433 * HOL/List: Ordering "lexico" is renamed "lenlex" and the standard
  7434   lexicographic dictonary ordering has been added as "lexord".
  7435 
  7436 * ML: the legacy theory structures Int and List have been removed. They had
  7437   conflicted with ML Basis Library structures having the same names.
  7438 
  7439 * 'refute' command added to search for (finite) countermodels.  Only works
  7440   for a fragment of HOL.  The installation of an external SAT solver is
  7441   highly recommended.  See "HOL/Refute.thy" for details.
  7442 
  7443 * 'quickcheck' command: Allows to find counterexamples by evaluating
  7444   formulae under an assignment of free variables to random values.
  7445   In contrast to 'refute', it can deal with inductive datatypes,
  7446   but cannot handle quantifiers. See "HOL/ex/Quickcheck_Examples.thy"
  7447   for examples.
  7448 
  7449 
  7450 *** HOLCF ***
  7451 
  7452 * Streams now come with concatenation and are part of the HOLCF image
  7453 
  7454 
  7455 
  7456 New in Isabelle2003 (May 2003)
  7457 ------------------------------
  7458 
  7459 *** General ***
  7460 
  7461 * Provers/simplifier:
  7462 
  7463   - Completely reimplemented method simp (ML: Asm_full_simp_tac):
  7464     Assumptions are now subject to complete mutual simplification,
  7465     not just from left to right. The simplifier now preserves
  7466     the order of assumptions.
  7467 
  7468     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  7469 
  7470     -- simp sometimes diverges where the old version did
  7471        not, e.g. invoking simp on the goal
  7472 
  7473         [| P (f x); y = x; f x = f y |] ==> Q
  7474 
  7475        now gives rise to the infinite reduction sequence
  7476 
  7477         P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> P(f y) --(y = x)--> P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> ...
  7478 
  7479        Using "simp (asm_lr)" (ML: Asm_lr_simp_tac) instead often solves this
  7480        kind of problem.
  7481 
  7482     -- Tactics combining classical reasoner and simplification (such as auto)
  7483        are also affected by this change, because many of them rely on
  7484        simp. They may sometimes diverge as well or yield a different numbers
  7485        of subgoals. Try to use e.g. force, fastsimp, or safe instead of auto
  7486        in case of problems. Sometimes subsequent calls to the classical
  7487        reasoner will fail because a preceeding call to the simplifier too
  7488        eagerly simplified the goal, e.g. deleted redundant premises.
  7489 
  7490   - The simplifier trace now shows the names of the applied rewrite rules
  7491 
  7492   - You can limit the number of recursive invocations of the simplifier
  7493     during conditional rewriting (where the simplifie tries to solve the
  7494     conditions before applying the rewrite rule):
  7495     ML "simp_depth_limit := n"
  7496     where n is an integer. Thus you can force termination where previously
  7497     the simplifier would diverge.
  7498 
  7499   - Accepts free variables as head terms in congruence rules.  Useful in Isar.
  7500 
  7501   - No longer aborts on failed congruence proof.  Instead, the
  7502     congruence is ignored.
  7503 
  7504 * Pure: New generic framework for extracting programs from constructive
  7505   proofs. See HOL/Extraction.thy for an example instantiation, as well
  7506   as HOL/Extraction for some case studies.
  7507 
  7508 * Pure: The main goal of the proof state is no longer shown by default, only
  7509 the subgoals. This behaviour is controlled by a new flag.
  7510    PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Settings -> Show Main Goal
  7511 (ML: Proof.show_main_goal).
  7512 
  7513 * Pure: You can find all matching introduction rules for subgoal 1, i.e. all
  7514 rules whose conclusion matches subgoal 1:
  7515       PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Show me -> matching rules
  7516 The rules are ordered by how closely they match the subgoal.
  7517 In particular, rules that solve a subgoal outright are displayed first
  7518 (or rather last, the way they are printed).
  7519 (ML: ProofGeneral.print_intros())
  7520 
  7521 * Pure: New flag trace_unify_fail causes unification to print
  7522 diagnostic information (PG: in trace buffer) when it fails. This is
  7523 useful for figuring out why single step proofs like rule, erule or
  7524 assumption failed.
  7525 
  7526 * Pure: Locale specifications now produce predicate definitions
  7527 according to the body of text (covering assumptions modulo local
  7528 definitions); predicate "loc_axioms" covers newly introduced text,
  7529 while "loc" is cumulative wrt. all included locale expressions; the
  7530 latter view is presented only on export into the global theory
  7531 context; potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use "(open)" option to fall back
  7532 on the old view without predicates;
  7533 
  7534 * Pure: predefined locales "var" and "struct" are useful for sharing
  7535 parameters (as in CASL, for example); just specify something like
  7536 ``var x + var y + struct M'' as import;
  7537 
  7538 * Pure: improved thms_containing: proper indexing of facts instead of
  7539 raw theorems; check validity of results wrt. current name space;
  7540 include local facts of proof configuration (also covers active
  7541 locales), cover fixed variables in index; may use "_" in term
  7542 specification; an optional limit for the number of printed facts may
  7543 be given (the default is 40);
  7544 
  7545 * Pure: disallow duplicate fact bindings within new-style theory files
  7546 (batch-mode only);
  7547 
  7548 * Provers: improved induct method: assumptions introduced by case
  7549 "foo" are split into "foo.hyps" (from the rule) and "foo.prems" (from
  7550 the goal statement); "foo" still refers to all facts collectively;
  7551 
  7552 * Provers: the function blast.overloaded has been removed: all constants
  7553 are regarded as potentially overloaded, which improves robustness in exchange
  7554 for slight decrease in efficiency;
  7555 
  7556 * Provers/linorder: New generic prover for transitivity reasoning over
  7557 linear orders.  Note: this prover is not efficient!
  7558 
  7559 * Isar: preview of problems to finish 'show' now produce an error
  7560 rather than just a warning (in interactive mode);
  7561 
  7562 
  7563 *** HOL ***
  7564 
  7565 * arith(_tac)
  7566 
  7567  - Produces a counter example if it cannot prove a goal.
  7568    Note that the counter example may be spurious if the goal is not a formula
  7569    of quantifier-free linear arithmetic.
  7570    In ProofGeneral the counter example appears in the trace buffer.
  7571 
  7572  - Knows about div k and mod k where k is a numeral of type nat or int.
  7573 
  7574  - Calls full Presburger arithmetic (by Amine Chaieb) if quantifier-free
  7575    linear arithmetic fails. This takes account of quantifiers and divisibility.
  7576    Presburger arithmetic can also be called explicitly via presburger(_tac).
  7577 
  7578 * simp's arithmetic capabilities have been enhanced a bit: it now
  7579 takes ~= in premises into account (by performing a case split);
  7580 
  7581 * simp reduces "m*(n div m) + n mod m" to n, even if the two summands
  7582 are distributed over a sum of terms;
  7583 
  7584 * New tactic "trans_tac" and method "trans" instantiate
  7585 Provers/linorder.ML for axclasses "order" and "linorder" (predicates
  7586 "<=", "<" and "=").
  7587 
  7588 * function INCOMPATIBILITIES: Pi-sets have been redefined and moved from main
  7589 HOL to Library/FuncSet; constant "Fun.op o" is now called "Fun.comp";
  7590 
  7591 * 'typedef' command has new option "open" to suppress the set
  7592 definition;
  7593 
  7594 * functions Min and Max on finite sets have been introduced (theory
  7595 Finite_Set);
  7596 
  7597 * attribute [symmetric] now works for relations as well; it turns
  7598 (x,y) : R^-1 into (y,x) : R, and vice versa;
  7599 
  7600 * induct over a !!-quantified statement (say !!x1..xn):
  7601   each "case" automatically performs "fix x1 .. xn" with exactly those names.
  7602 
  7603 * Map: `empty' is no longer a constant but a syntactic abbreviation for
  7604 %x. None. Warning: empty_def now refers to the previously hidden definition
  7605 of the empty set.
  7606 
  7607 * Algebra: formalization of classical algebra.  Intended as base for
  7608 any algebraic development in Isabelle.  Currently covers group theory
  7609 (up to Sylow's theorem) and ring theory (Universal Property of
  7610 Univariate Polynomials).  Contributions welcome;
  7611 
  7612 * GroupTheory: deleted, since its material has been moved to Algebra;
  7613 
  7614 * Complex: new directory of the complex numbers with numeric constants,
  7615 nonstandard complex numbers, and some complex analysis, standard and
  7616 nonstandard (Jacques Fleuriot);
  7617 
  7618 * HOL-Complex: new image for analysis, replacing HOL-Real and HOL-Hyperreal;
  7619 
  7620 * Hyperreal: introduced Gauge integration and hyperreal logarithms (Jacques
  7621 Fleuriot);
  7622 
  7623 * Real/HahnBanach: updated and adapted to locales;
  7624 
  7625 * NumberTheory: added Gauss's law of quadratic reciprocity (by Avigad,
  7626 Gray and Kramer);
  7627 
  7628 * UNITY: added the Meier-Sanders theory of progress sets;
  7629 
  7630 * MicroJava: bytecode verifier and lightweight bytecode verifier
  7631 as abstract algorithms, instantiated to the JVM;
  7632 
  7633 * Bali: Java source language formalization. Type system, operational
  7634 semantics, axiomatic semantics. Supported language features:
  7635 classes, interfaces, objects,virtual methods, static methods,
  7636 static/instance fields, arrays, access modifiers, definite
  7637 assignment, exceptions.
  7638 
  7639 
  7640 *** ZF ***
  7641 
  7642 * ZF/Constructible: consistency proof for AC (Gdel's constructible
  7643 universe, etc.);
  7644 
  7645 * Main ZF: virtually all theories converted to new-style format;
  7646 
  7647 
  7648 *** ML ***
  7649 
  7650 * Pure: Tactic.prove provides sane interface for internal proofs;
  7651 omits the infamous "standard" operation, so this is more appropriate
  7652 than prove_goalw_cterm in many situations (e.g. in simprocs);
  7653 
  7654 * Pure: improved error reporting of simprocs;
  7655 
  7656 * Provers: Simplifier.simproc(_i) provides sane interface for setting
  7657 up simprocs;
  7658 
  7659 
  7660 *** Document preparation ***
  7661 
  7662 * uses \par instead of \\ for line breaks in theory text. This may
  7663 shift some page breaks in large documents. To get the old behaviour
  7664 use \renewcommand{\isanewline}{\mbox{}\\\mbox{}} in root.tex.
  7665 
  7666 * minimized dependencies of isabelle.sty and isabellesym.sty on
  7667 other packages
  7668 
  7669 * \<euro> now needs package babel/greek instead of marvosym (which
  7670 broke \Rightarrow)
  7671 
  7672 * normal size for \<zero>...\<nine> (uses \mathbf instead of
  7673 textcomp package)
  7674 
  7675 
  7676 
  7677 New in Isabelle2002 (March 2002)
  7678 --------------------------------
  7679 
  7680 *** Document preparation ***
  7681 
  7682 * greatly simplified document preparation setup, including more
  7683 graceful interpretation of isatool usedir -i/-d/-D options, and more
  7684 instructive isatool mkdir; users should basically be able to get
  7685 started with "isatool mkdir HOL Test && isatool make"; alternatively,
  7686 users may run a separate document processing stage manually like this:
  7687 "isatool usedir -D output HOL Test && isatool document Test/output";
  7688 
  7689 * theory dependency graph may now be incorporated into documents;
  7690 isatool usedir -g true will produce session_graph.eps/.pdf for use
  7691 with \includegraphics of LaTeX;
  7692 
  7693 * proper spacing of consecutive markup elements, especially text
  7694 blocks after section headings;
  7695 
  7696 * support bold style (for single symbols only), input syntax is like
  7697 this: "\<^bold>\<alpha>" or "\<^bold>A";
  7698 
  7699 * \<bullet> is now output as bold \cdot by default, which looks much
  7700 better in printed text;
  7701 
  7702 * added default LaTeX bindings for \<tturnstile> and \<TTurnstile>;
  7703 note that these symbols are currently unavailable in Proof General /
  7704 X-Symbol; new symbols \<zero>, \<one>, ..., \<nine>, and \<euro>;
  7705 
  7706 * isatool latex no longer depends on changed TEXINPUTS, instead
  7707 isatool document copies the Isabelle style files to the target
  7708 location;
  7709 
  7710 
  7711 *** Isar ***
  7712 
  7713 * Pure/Provers: improved proof by cases and induction;
  7714   - 'case' command admits impromptu naming of parameters (such as
  7715     "case (Suc n)");
  7716   - 'induct' method divinates rule instantiation from the inductive
  7717     claim; no longer requires excessive ?P bindings for proper
  7718     instantiation of cases;
  7719   - 'induct' method properly enumerates all possibilities of set/type
  7720     rules; as a consequence facts may be also passed through *type*
  7721     rules without further ado;
  7722   - 'induct' method now derives symbolic cases from the *rulified*
  7723     rule (before it used to rulify cases stemming from the internal
  7724     atomized version); this means that the context of a non-atomic
  7725     statement becomes is included in the hypothesis, avoiding the
  7726     slightly cumbersome show "PROP ?case" form;
  7727   - 'induct' may now use elim-style induction rules without chaining
  7728     facts, using ``missing'' premises from the goal state; this allows
  7729     rules stemming from inductive sets to be applied in unstructured
  7730     scripts, while still benefitting from proper handling of non-atomic
  7731     statements; NB: major inductive premises need to be put first, all
  7732     the rest of the goal is passed through the induction;
  7733   - 'induct' proper support for mutual induction involving non-atomic
  7734     rule statements (uses the new concept of simultaneous goals, see
  7735     below);
  7736   - append all possible rule selections, but only use the first
  7737     success (no backtracking);
  7738   - removed obsolete "(simplified)" and "(stripped)" options of methods;
  7739   - undeclared rule case names default to numbers 1, 2, 3, ...;
  7740   - added 'print_induct_rules' (covered by help item in recent Proof
  7741     General versions);
  7742   - moved induct/cases attributes to Pure, methods to Provers;
  7743   - generic method setup instantiated for FOL and HOL;
  7744 
  7745 * Pure: support multiple simultaneous goal statements, for example
  7746 "have a: A and b: B" (same for 'theorem' etc.); being a pure
  7747 meta-level mechanism, this acts as if several individual goals had
  7748 been stated separately; in particular common proof methods need to be
  7749 repeated in order to cover all claims; note that a single elimination
  7750 step is *not* sufficient to establish the two conjunctions, so this
  7751 fails:
  7752 
  7753   assume "A & B" then have A and B ..   (*".." fails*)
  7754 
  7755 better use "obtain" in situations as above; alternative refer to
  7756 multi-step methods like 'auto', 'simp_all', 'blast+' etc.;
  7757 
  7758 * Pure: proper integration with ``locales''; unlike the original
  7759 version by Florian Kammller, Isar locales package high-level proof
  7760 contexts rather than raw logical ones (e.g. we admit to include
  7761 attributes everywhere); operations on locales include merge and
  7762 rename; support for implicit arguments (``structures''); simultaneous
  7763 type-inference over imports and text; see also HOL/ex/Locales.thy for
  7764 some examples;
  7765 
  7766 * Pure: the following commands have been ``localized'', supporting a
  7767 target locale specification "(in name)": 'lemma', 'theorem',
  7768 'corollary', 'lemmas', 'theorems', 'declare'; the results will be
  7769 stored both within the locale and at the theory level (exported and
  7770 qualified by the locale name);
  7771 
  7772 * Pure: theory goals may now be specified in ``long'' form, with
  7773 ad-hoc contexts consisting of arbitrary locale elements. for example
  7774 ``lemma foo: fixes x assumes "A x" shows "B x"'' (local syntax and
  7775 definitions may be given, too); the result is a meta-level rule with
  7776 the context elements being discharged in the obvious way;
  7777 
  7778 * Pure: new proof command 'using' allows to augment currently used
  7779 facts after a goal statement ('using' is syntactically analogous to
  7780 'apply', but acts on the goal's facts only); this allows chained facts
  7781 to be separated into parts given before and after a claim, as in
  7782 ``from a and b have C using d and e <proof>'';
  7783 
  7784 * Pure: renamed "antecedent" case to "rule_context";
  7785 
  7786 * Pure: new 'judgment' command records explicit information about the
  7787 object-logic embedding (used by several tools internally); no longer
  7788 use hard-wired "Trueprop";
  7789 
  7790 * Pure: added 'corollary' command;
  7791 
  7792 * Pure: fixed 'token_translation' command;
  7793 
  7794 * Pure: removed obsolete 'exported' attribute;
  7795 
  7796 * Pure: dummy pattern "_" in is/let is now automatically lifted over
  7797 bound variables: "ALL x. P x --> Q x" (is "ALL x. _ --> ?C x")
  7798 supersedes more cumbersome ... (is "ALL x. _ x --> ?C x");
  7799 
  7800 * Pure: method 'atomize' presents local goal premises as object-level
  7801 statements (atomic meta-level propositions); setup controlled via
  7802 rewrite rules declarations of 'atomize' attribute; example
  7803 application: 'induct' method with proper rule statements in improper
  7804 proof *scripts*;
  7805 
  7806 * Pure: emulation of instantiation tactics (rule_tac, cut_tac, etc.)
  7807 now consider the syntactic context of assumptions, giving a better
  7808 chance to get type-inference of the arguments right (this is
  7809 especially important for locales);
  7810 
  7811 * Pure: "sorry" no longer requires quick_and_dirty in interactive
  7812 mode;
  7813 
  7814 * Pure/obtain: the formal conclusion "thesis", being marked as
  7815 ``internal'', may no longer be reference directly in the text;
  7816 potential INCOMPATIBILITY, may need to use "?thesis" in rare
  7817 situations;
  7818 
  7819 * Pure: generic 'sym' attribute which declares a rule both as pure
  7820 'elim?' and for the 'symmetric' operation;
  7821 
  7822 * Pure: marginal comments ``--'' may now occur just anywhere in the
  7823 text; the fixed correlation with particular command syntax has been
  7824 discontinued;
  7825 
  7826 * Pure: new method 'rules' is particularly well-suited for proof
  7827 search in intuitionistic logic; a bit slower than 'blast' or 'fast',
  7828 but often produces more compact proof terms with less detours;
  7829 
  7830 * Pure/Provers/classical: simplified integration with pure rule
  7831 attributes and methods; the classical "intro?/elim?/dest?"
  7832 declarations coincide with the pure ones; the "rule" method no longer
  7833 includes classically swapped intros; "intro" and "elim" methods no
  7834 longer pick rules from the context; also got rid of ML declarations
  7835 AddXIs/AddXEs/AddXDs; all of this has some potential for
  7836 INCOMPATIBILITY;
  7837 
  7838 * Provers/classical: attribute 'swapped' produces classical inversions
  7839 of introduction rules;
  7840 
  7841 * Provers/simplifier: 'simplified' attribute may refer to explicit
  7842 rules instead of full simplifier context; 'iff' attribute handles
  7843 conditional rules;
  7844 
  7845 * HOL: 'typedef' now allows alternative names for Rep/Abs morphisms;
  7846 
  7847 * HOL: 'recdef' now fails on unfinished automated proofs, use
  7848 "(permissive)" option to recover old behavior;
  7849 
  7850 * HOL: 'inductive' no longer features separate (collective) attributes
  7851 for 'intros' (was found too confusing);
  7852 
  7853 * HOL: properly declared induction rules less_induct and
  7854 wf_induct_rule;
  7855 
  7856 
  7857 *** HOL ***
  7858 
  7859 * HOL: moved over to sane numeral syntax; the new policy is as
  7860 follows:
  7861 
  7862   - 0 and 1 are polymorphic constants, which are defined on any
  7863   numeric type (nat, int, real etc.);
  7864 
  7865   - 2, 3, 4, ... and -1, -2, -3, ... are polymorphic numerals, based
  7866   binary representation internally;
  7867 
  7868   - type nat has special constructor Suc, and generally prefers Suc 0
  7869   over 1::nat and Suc (Suc 0) over 2::nat;
  7870 
  7871 This change may cause significant problems of INCOMPATIBILITY; here
  7872 are some hints on converting existing sources:
  7873 
  7874   - due to the new "num" token, "-0" and "-1" etc. are now atomic
  7875   entities, so expressions involving "-" (unary or binary minus) need
  7876   to be spaced properly;
  7877 
  7878   - existing occurrences of "1" may need to be constraint "1::nat" or
  7879   even replaced by Suc 0; similar for old "2";
  7880 
  7881   - replace "#nnn" by "nnn", and "#-nnn" by "-nnn";
  7882 
  7883   - remove all special provisions on numerals in proofs;
  7884 
  7885 * HOL: simp rules nat_number expand numerals on nat to Suc/0
  7886 representation (depends on bin_arith_simps in the default context);
  7887 
  7888 * HOL: symbolic syntax for x^2 (numeral 2);
  7889 
  7890 * HOL: the class of all HOL types is now called "type" rather than
  7891 "term"; INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt references to this type class
  7892 in axclass/classes, instance/arities, and (usually rare) occurrences
  7893 in typings (of consts etc.); internally the class is called
  7894 "HOL.type", ML programs should refer to HOLogic.typeS;
  7895 
  7896 * HOL/record package improvements:
  7897   - new derived operations "fields" to build a partial record section,
  7898     "extend" to promote a fixed record to a record scheme, and
  7899     "truncate" for the reverse; cf. theorems "xxx.defs", which are *not*
  7900     declared as simp by default;
  7901   - shared operations ("more", "fields", etc.) now need to be always
  7902     qualified) --- potential INCOMPATIBILITY;
  7903   - removed "make_scheme" operations (use "make" with "extend") --
  7904     INCOMPATIBILITY;
  7905   - removed "more" class (simply use "term") -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  7906   - provides cases/induct rules for use with corresponding Isar
  7907     methods (for concrete records, record schemes, concrete more
  7908     parts, and schematic more parts -- in that order);
  7909   - internal definitions directly based on a light-weight abstract
  7910     theory of product types over typedef rather than datatype;
  7911 
  7912 * HOL: generic code generator for generating executable ML code from
  7913 specifications; specific support for HOL constructs such as inductive
  7914 datatypes and sets, as well as recursive functions; can be invoked
  7915 via 'generate_code' theory section;
  7916 
  7917 * HOL: canonical cases/induct rules for n-tuples (n = 3..7);
  7918 
  7919 * HOL: consolidated and renamed several theories.  In particular:
  7920         Ord.thy has been absorbed into HOL.thy
  7921         String.thy has been absorbed into List.thy
  7922 
  7923 * HOL: concrete setsum syntax "\<Sum>i:A. b" == "setsum (%i. b) A"
  7924 (beware of argument permutation!);
  7925 
  7926 * HOL: linorder_less_split superseded by linorder_cases;
  7927 
  7928 * HOL/List: "nodups" renamed to "distinct";
  7929 
  7930 * HOL: added "The" definite description operator; move Hilbert's "Eps"
  7931 to peripheral theory "Hilbert_Choice"; some INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  7932   - Ex_def has changed, now need to use some_eq_ex
  7933 
  7934 * HOL: made split_all_tac safe; EXISTING PROOFS MAY FAIL OR LOOP, so
  7935 in this (rare) case use:
  7936 
  7937   delSWrapper "split_all_tac"
  7938   addSbefore ("unsafe_split_all_tac", unsafe_split_all_tac)
  7939 
  7940 * HOL: added safe wrapper "split_conv_tac" to claset; EXISTING PROOFS
  7941 MAY FAIL;
  7942 
  7943 * HOL: introduced f^n = f o ... o f; warning: due to the limits of
  7944 Isabelle's type classes, ^ on functions and relations has too general
  7945 a domain, namely ('a * 'b) set and 'a => 'b; this means that it may be
  7946 necessary to attach explicit type constraints;
  7947 
  7948 * HOL/Relation: the prefix name of the infix "O" has been changed from
  7949 "comp" to "rel_comp"; INCOMPATIBILITY: a few theorems have been
  7950 renamed accordingly (eg "compI" -> "rel_compI").
  7951 
  7952 * HOL: syntax translations now work properly with numerals and records
  7953 expressions;
  7954 
  7955 * HOL: bounded abstraction now uses syntax "%" / "\<lambda>" instead
  7956 of "lam" -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  7957 
  7958 * HOL: got rid of some global declarations (potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  7959 for ML tools): const "()" renamed "Product_Type.Unity", type "unit"
  7960 renamed "Product_Type.unit";
  7961 
  7962 * HOL: renamed rtrancl_into_rtrancl2 to converse_rtrancl_into_rtrancl
  7963 
  7964 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem "optionE" (use "option.exhaust", or
  7965 the "cases" method);
  7966 
  7967 * HOL/GroupTheory: group theory examples including Sylow's theorem (by
  7968 Florian Kammller);
  7969 
  7970 * HOL/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory format; several
  7971 parts turned into readable document, with proper Isar proof texts and
  7972 some explanations (by Gerwin Klein);
  7973 
  7974 * HOL-Real: added Complex_Numbers (by Gertrud Bauer);
  7975 
  7976 * HOL-Hyperreal is now a logic image;
  7977 
  7978 
  7979 *** HOLCF ***
  7980 
  7981 * Isar: consts/constdefs supports mixfix syntax for continuous
  7982 operations;
  7983 
  7984 * Isar: domain package adapted to new-style theory format, e.g. see
  7985 HOLCF/ex/Dnat.thy;
  7986 
  7987 * theory Lift: proper use of rep_datatype lift instead of ML hacks --
  7988 potential INCOMPATIBILITY; now use plain induct_tac instead of former
  7989 lift.induct_tac, always use UU instead of Undef;
  7990 
  7991 * HOLCF/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory;
  7992 
  7993 
  7994 *** ZF ***
  7995 
  7996 * Isar: proper integration of logic-specific tools and packages,
  7997 including theory commands '(co)inductive', '(co)datatype',
  7998 'rep_datatype', 'inductive_cases', as well as methods 'ind_cases',
  7999 'induct_tac', 'case_tac', and 'typecheck' (with attribute 'TC');
  8000 
  8001 * theory Main no longer includes AC; for the Axiom of Choice, base
  8002 your theory on Main_ZFC;
  8003 
  8004 * the integer library now covers quotients and remainders, with many
  8005 laws relating division to addition, multiplication, etc.;
  8006 
  8007 * ZF/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY is now available in ZF, giving a
  8008 typeless version of the formalism;
  8009 
  8010 * ZF/AC, Coind, IMP, Resid: updated and converted to new-style theory
  8011 format;
  8012 
  8013 * ZF/Induct: new directory for examples of inductive definitions,
  8014 including theory Multiset for multiset orderings; converted to
  8015 new-style theory format;
  8016 
  8017 * ZF: many new theorems about lists, ordinals, etc.;
  8018 
  8019 
  8020 *** General ***
  8021 
  8022 * Pure/kernel: meta-level proof terms (by Stefan Berghofer); reference
  8023 variable proof controls level of detail: 0 = no proofs (only oracle
  8024 dependencies), 1 = lemma dependencies, 2 = compact proof terms; see
  8025 also ref manual for further ML interfaces;
  8026 
  8027 * Pure/axclass: removed obsolete ML interface
  8028 goal_subclass/goal_arity;
  8029 
  8030 * Pure/syntax: new token syntax "num" for plain numerals (without "#"
  8031 of "xnum"); potential INCOMPATIBILITY, since -0, -1 etc. are now
  8032 separate tokens, so expressions involving minus need to be spaced
  8033 properly;
  8034 
  8035 * Pure/syntax: support non-oriented infixes, using keyword "infix"
  8036 rather than "infixl" or "infixr";
  8037 
  8038 * Pure/syntax: concrete syntax for dummy type variables admits genuine
  8039 sort constraint specifications in type inference; e.g. "x::_::foo"
  8040 ensures that the type of "x" is of sort "foo" (but not necessarily a
  8041 type variable);
  8042 
  8043 * Pure/syntax: print modes "type_brackets" and "no_type_brackets"
  8044 control output of nested => (types); the default behavior is
  8045 "type_brackets";
  8046 
  8047 * Pure/syntax: builtin parse translation for "_constify" turns valued
  8048 tokens into AST constants;
  8049 
  8050 * Pure/syntax: prefer later declarations of translations and print
  8051 translation functions; potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to reverse
  8052 multiple declarations for same syntax element constant;
  8053 
  8054 * Pure/show_hyps reset by default (in accordance to existing Isar
  8055 practice);
  8056 
  8057 * Provers/classical: renamed addaltern to addafter, addSaltern to
  8058 addSafter;
  8059 
  8060 * Provers/clasimp: ``iff'' declarations now handle conditional rules
  8061 as well;
  8062 
  8063 * system: tested support for MacOS X; should be able to get Isabelle +
  8064 Proof General to work in a plain Terminal after installing Poly/ML
  8065 (e.g. from the Isabelle distribution area) and GNU bash alone
  8066 (e.g. from http://www.apple.com); full X11, XEmacs and X-Symbol
  8067 support requires further installations, e.g. from
  8068 http://fink.sourceforge.net/);
  8069 
  8070 * system: support Poly/ML 4.1.1 (able to manage larger heaps);
  8071 
  8072 * system: reduced base memory usage by Poly/ML (approx. 20 MB instead
  8073 of 40 MB), cf. ML_OPTIONS;
  8074 
  8075 * system: Proof General keywords specification is now part of the
  8076 Isabelle distribution (see etc/isar-keywords.el);
  8077 
  8078 * system: support for persistent Proof General sessions (refrain from
  8079 outdating all loaded theories on startup); user may create writable
  8080 logic images like this: ``isabelle -q HOL Test'';
  8081 
  8082 * system: smart selection of Isabelle process versus Isabelle
  8083 interface, accommodates case-insensitive file systems (e.g. HFS+); may
  8084 run both "isabelle" and "Isabelle" even if file names are badly
  8085 damaged (executable inspects the case of the first letter of its own
  8086 name); added separate "isabelle-process" and "isabelle-interface";
  8087 
  8088 * system: refrain from any attempt at filtering input streams; no
  8089 longer support ``8bit'' encoding of old isabelle font, instead proper
  8090 iso-latin characters may now be used; the related isatools
  8091 "symbolinput" and "nonascii" have disappeared as well;
  8092 
  8093 * system: removed old "xterm" interface (the print modes "xterm" and
  8094 "xterm_color" are still available for direct use in a suitable
  8095 terminal);
  8096 
  8097 
  8098 
  8099 New in Isabelle99-2 (February 2001)
  8100 -----------------------------------
  8101 
  8102 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  8103 
  8104 * HOL: please note that theories in the Library and elsewhere often use the
  8105 new-style (Isar) format; to refer to their theorems in an ML script you must
  8106 bind them to ML identifers by e.g.      val thm_name = thm "thm_name";
  8107 
  8108 * HOL: inductive package no longer splits induction rule aggressively,
  8109 but only as far as specified by the introductions given; the old
  8110 format may be recovered via ML function complete_split_rule or attribute
  8111 'split_rule (complete)';
  8112 
  8113 * HOL: induct renamed to lfp_induct, lfp_Tarski to lfp_unfold,
  8114 gfp_Tarski to gfp_unfold;
  8115 
  8116 * HOL: contrapos, contrapos2 renamed to contrapos_nn, contrapos_pp;
  8117 
  8118 * HOL: infix "dvd" now has priority 50 rather than 70 (because it is a
  8119 relation); infix "^^" has been renamed "``"; infix "``" has been
  8120 renamed "`"; "univalent" has been renamed "single_valued";
  8121 
  8122 * HOL/Real: "rinv" and "hrinv" replaced by overloaded "inverse"
  8123 operation;
  8124 
  8125 * HOLCF: infix "`" has been renamed "$"; the symbol syntax is \<cdot>;
  8126 
  8127 * Isar: 'obtain' no longer declares "that" fact as simp/intro;
  8128 
  8129 * Isar/HOL: method 'induct' now handles non-atomic goals; as a
  8130 consequence, it is no longer monotonic wrt. the local goal context
  8131 (which is now passed through the inductive cases);
  8132 
  8133 * Document preparation: renamed standard symbols \<ll> to \<lless> and
  8134 \<gg> to \<ggreater>;
  8135 
  8136 
  8137 *** Document preparation ***
  8138 
  8139 * \isabellestyle{NAME} selects version of Isabelle output (currently
  8140 available: are "it" for near math-mode best-style output, "sl" for
  8141 slanted text style, and "tt" for plain type-writer; if no
  8142 \isabellestyle command is given, output is according to slanted
  8143 type-writer);
  8144 
  8145 * support sub/super scripts (for single symbols only), input syntax is
  8146 like this: "A\<^sup>*" or "A\<^sup>\<star>";
  8147 
  8148 * some more standard symbols; see Appendix A of the system manual for
  8149 the complete list of symbols defined in isabellesym.sty;
  8150 
  8151 * improved isabelle style files; more abstract symbol implementation
  8152 (should now use \isamath{...} and \isatext{...} in custom symbol
  8153 definitions);
  8154 
  8155 * antiquotation @{goals} and @{subgoals} for output of *dynamic* goals
  8156 state; Note that presentation of goal states does not conform to
  8157 actual human-readable proof documents.  Please do not include goal
  8158 states into document output unless you really know what you are doing!
  8159 
  8160 * proper indentation of antiquoted output with proportional LaTeX
  8161 fonts;
  8162 
  8163 * no_document ML operator temporarily disables LaTeX document
  8164 generation;
  8165 
  8166 * isatool unsymbolize tunes sources for plain ASCII communication;
  8167 
  8168 
  8169 *** Isar ***
  8170 
  8171 * Pure: Isar now suffers initial goal statements to contain unbound
  8172 schematic variables (this does not conform to actual readable proof
  8173 documents, due to unpredictable outcome and non-compositional proof
  8174 checking); users who know what they are doing may use schematic goals
  8175 for Prolog-style synthesis of proven results;
  8176 
  8177 * Pure: assumption method (an implicit finishing) now handles actual
  8178 rules as well;
  8179 
  8180 * Pure: improved 'obtain' --- moved to Pure, insert "that" into
  8181 initial goal, declare "that" only as Pure intro (only for single
  8182 steps); the "that" rule assumption may now be involved in implicit
  8183 finishing, thus ".." becomes a feasible for trivial obtains;
  8184 
  8185 * Pure: default proof step now includes 'intro_classes'; thus trivial
  8186 instance proofs may be performed by "..";
  8187 
  8188 * Pure: ?thesis / ?this / "..." now work for pure meta-level
  8189 statements as well;
  8190 
  8191 * Pure: more robust selection of calculational rules;
  8192 
  8193 * Pure: the builtin notion of 'finished' goal now includes the ==-refl
  8194 rule (as well as the assumption rule);
  8195 
  8196 * Pure: 'thm_deps' command visualizes dependencies of theorems and
  8197 lemmas, using the graph browser tool;
  8198 
  8199 * Pure: predict failure of "show" in interactive mode;
  8200 
  8201 * Pure: 'thms_containing' now takes actual terms as arguments;
  8202 
  8203 * HOL: improved method 'induct' --- now handles non-atomic goals
  8204 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY); tuned error handling;
  8205 
  8206 * HOL: cases and induct rules now provide explicit hints about the
  8207 number of facts to be consumed (0 for "type" and 1 for "set" rules);
  8208 any remaining facts are inserted into the goal verbatim;
  8209 
  8210 * HOL: local contexts (aka cases) may now contain term bindings as
  8211 well; the 'cases' and 'induct' methods new provide a ?case binding for
  8212 the result to be shown in each case;
  8213 
  8214 * HOL: added 'recdef_tc' command;
  8215 
  8216 * isatool convert assists in eliminating legacy ML scripts;
  8217 
  8218 
  8219 *** HOL ***
  8220 
  8221 * HOL/Library: a collection of generic theories to be used together
  8222 with main HOL; the theory loader path already includes this directory
  8223 by default; the following existing theories have been moved here:
  8224 HOL/Induct/Multiset, HOL/Induct/Acc (as Accessible_Part), HOL/While
  8225 (as While_Combinator), HOL/Lex/Prefix (as List_Prefix);
  8226 
  8227 * HOL/Unix: "Some aspects of Unix file-system security", a typical
  8228 modelling and verification task performed in Isabelle/HOL +
  8229 Isabelle/Isar + Isabelle document preparation (by Markus Wenzel).
  8230 
  8231 * HOL/Algebra: special summation operator SUM no longer exists, it has
  8232 been replaced by setsum; infix 'assoc' now has priority 50 (like
  8233 'dvd'); axiom 'one_not_zero' has been moved from axclass 'ring' to
  8234 'domain', this makes the theory consistent with mathematical
  8235 literature;
  8236 
  8237 * HOL basics: added overloaded operations "inverse" and "divide"
  8238 (infix "/"), syntax for generic "abs" operation, generic summation
  8239 operator \<Sum>;
  8240 
  8241 * HOL/typedef: simplified package, provide more useful rules (see also
  8242 HOL/subset.thy);
  8243 
  8244 * HOL/datatype: induction rule for arbitrarily branching datatypes is
  8245 now expressed as a proper nested rule (old-style tactic scripts may
  8246 require atomize_strip_tac to cope with non-atomic premises);
  8247 
  8248 * HOL: renamed theory "Prod" to "Product_Type", renamed "split" rule
  8249 to "split_conv" (old name still available for compatibility);
  8250 
  8251 * HOL: improved concrete syntax for strings (e.g. allows translation
  8252 rules with string literals);
  8253 
  8254 * HOL-Real-Hyperreal: this extends HOL-Real with the hyperreals
  8255  and Fleuriot's mechanization of analysis, including the transcendental
  8256  functions for the reals;
  8257 
  8258 * HOL/Real, HOL/Hyperreal: improved arithmetic simplification;
  8259 
  8260 
  8261 *** CTT ***
  8262 
  8263 * CTT: x-symbol support for Pi, Sigma, -->, : (membership); note that
  8264 "lam" is displayed as TWO lambda-symbols
  8265 
  8266 * CTT: theory Main now available, containing everything (that is, Bool
  8267 and Arith);
  8268 
  8269 
  8270 *** General ***
  8271 
  8272 * Pure: the Simplifier has been implemented properly as a derived rule
  8273 outside of the actual kernel (at last!); the overall performance
  8274 penalty in practical applications is about 50%, while reliability of
  8275 the Isabelle inference kernel has been greatly improved;
  8276 
  8277 * print modes "brackets" and "no_brackets" control output of nested =>
  8278 (types) and ==> (props); the default behaviour is "brackets";
  8279 
  8280 * Provers: fast_tac (and friends) now handle actual object-logic rules
  8281 as assumptions as well;
  8282 
  8283 * system: support Poly/ML 4.0;
  8284 
  8285 * system: isatool install handles KDE version 1 or 2;
  8286 
  8287 
  8288 
  8289 New in Isabelle99-1 (October 2000)
  8290 ----------------------------------
  8291 
  8292 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  8293 
  8294 * HOL: simplification of natural numbers is much changed; to partly
  8295 recover the old behaviour (e.g. to prevent n+n rewriting to #2*n)
  8296 issue the following ML commands:
  8297 
  8298   Delsimprocs Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.cancel_numerals;
  8299   Delsimprocs [Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.combine_numerals];
  8300 
  8301 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions; this is
  8302 controlled by "t.weak_case_cong" for each datatype t;
  8303 
  8304 * HOL: nat_less_induct renamed to less_induct;
  8305 
  8306 * HOL: systematic renaming of the SOME (Eps) rules, may use isatool
  8307 fixsome to patch .thy and .ML sources automatically;
  8308 
  8309   select_equality  -> some_equality
  8310   select_eq_Ex     -> some_eq_ex
  8311   selectI2EX       -> someI2_ex
  8312   selectI2         -> someI2
  8313   selectI          -> someI
  8314   select1_equality -> some1_equality
  8315   Eps_sym_eq       -> some_sym_eq_trivial
  8316   Eps_eq           -> some_eq_trivial
  8317 
  8318 * HOL: exhaust_tac on datatypes superceded by new generic case_tac;
  8319 
  8320 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem binding expand_if (refer to split_if
  8321 instead);
  8322 
  8323 * HOL: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' are now called
  8324 f.simps instead of f.rules;
  8325 
  8326 * HOL: qed_spec_mp now also handles bounded ALL as well;
  8327 
  8328 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded, so the type constraint ":: nat" may
  8329 sometimes be needed;
  8330 
  8331 * HOL: the constant for "f``x" is now "image" rather than "op ``";
  8332 
  8333 * HOL: the constant for "f-``x" is now "vimage" rather than "op -``";
  8334 
  8335 * HOL: the disjoint sum is now "<+>" instead of "Plus"; the cartesian
  8336 product is now "<*>" instead of "Times"; the lexicographic product is
  8337 now "<*lex*>" instead of "**";
  8338 
  8339 * HOL: theory Sexp is now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part
  8340 of main HOL, but was unused); better use HOL's datatype package;
  8341 
  8342 * HOL: removed "symbols" syntax for constant "override" of theory Map;
  8343 the old syntax may be recovered as follows:
  8344 
  8345   syntax (symbols)
  8346     override  :: "('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b)"
  8347       (infixl "\\<oplus>" 100)
  8348 
  8349 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
  8350 
  8351 * HOL/ML: even fewer consts are declared as global (see theories Ord,
  8352 Lfp, Gfp, WF); this only affects ML packages that refer to const names
  8353 internally;
  8354 
  8355 * HOL and ZF: syntax for quotienting wrt an equivalence relation
  8356 changed from A/r to A//r;
  8357 
  8358 * ZF: new treatment of arithmetic (nat & int) may break some old
  8359 proofs;
  8360 
  8361 * Isar: renamed some attributes (RS -> THEN, simplify -> simplified,
  8362 rulify -> rule_format, elimify -> elim_format, ...);
  8363 
  8364 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
  8365 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (in most cases, one
  8366 should have to change intro!! to intro? only); replaced "delrule" by
  8367 "rule del";
  8368 
  8369 * Isar/HOL: renamed "intrs" to "intros" in inductive definitions;
  8370 
  8371 * Provers: strengthened force_tac by using new first_best_tac;
  8372 
  8373 * LaTeX document preparation: several changes of isabelle.sty (see
  8374 lib/texinputs);
  8375 
  8376 
  8377 *** Document preparation ***
  8378 
  8379 * formal comments (text blocks etc.) in new-style theories may now
  8380 contain antiquotations of thm/prop/term/typ/text to be presented
  8381 according to latex print mode; concrete syntax is like this:
  8382 @{term[show_types] "f(x) = a + x"};
  8383 
  8384 * isatool mkdir provides easy setup of Isabelle session directories,
  8385 including proper document sources;
  8386 
  8387 * generated LaTeX sources are now deleted after successful run
  8388 (isatool document -c); may retain a copy somewhere else via -D option
  8389 of isatool usedir;
  8390 
  8391 * isatool usedir -D now lets isatool latex -o sty update the Isabelle
  8392 style files, achieving self-contained LaTeX sources and simplifying
  8393 LaTeX debugging;
  8394 
  8395 * old-style theories now produce (crude) LaTeX output as well;
  8396 
  8397 * browser info session directories are now self-contained (may be put
  8398 on WWW server seperately); improved graphs of nested sessions; removed
  8399 graph for 'all sessions';
  8400 
  8401 * several improvements in isabelle style files; \isabellestyle{it}
  8402 produces fake math mode output; \isamarkupheader is now \section by
  8403 default; see lib/texinputs/isabelle.sty etc.;
  8404 
  8405 
  8406 *** Isar ***
  8407 
  8408 * Isar/Pure: local results and corresponding term bindings are now
  8409 subject to Hindley-Milner polymorphism (similar to ML); this
  8410 accommodates incremental type-inference very nicely;
  8411 
  8412 * Isar/Pure: new derived language element 'obtain' supports
  8413 generalized existence reasoning;
  8414 
  8415 * Isar/Pure: new calculational elements 'moreover' and 'ultimately'
  8416 support accumulation of results, without applying any rules yet;
  8417 useful to collect intermediate results without explicit name
  8418 references, and for use with transitivity rules with more than 2
  8419 premises;
  8420 
  8421 * Isar/Pure: scalable support for case-analysis type proofs: new
  8422 'case' language element refers to local contexts symbolically, as
  8423 produced by certain proof methods; internally, case names are attached
  8424 to theorems as "tags";
  8425 
  8426 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'hide' removes declarations from
  8427 class/type/const name spaces;
  8428 
  8429 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'defs' supports option "(overloaded)" to
  8430 indicate potential overloading;
  8431 
  8432 * Isar/Pure: changed syntax of local blocks from {{ }} to { };
  8433 
  8434 * Isar/Pure: syntax of sorts made 'inner', i.e. have to write
  8435 "{a,b,c}" instead of {a,b,c};
  8436 
  8437 * Isar/Pure now provides its own version of intro/elim/dest
  8438 attributes; useful for building new logics, but beware of confusion
  8439 with the version in Provers/classical;
  8440 
  8441 * Isar/Pure: the local context of (non-atomic) goals is provided via
  8442 case name 'antecedent';
  8443 
  8444 * Isar/Pure: removed obsolete 'transfer' attribute (transfer of thms
  8445 to the current context is now done automatically);
  8446 
  8447 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'method_setup' provides a simple interface
  8448 for definining proof methods in ML;
  8449 
  8450 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
  8451 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  8452 most cases, one should have to change intro!! to intro? only);
  8453 replaced "delrule" by "rule del";
  8454 
  8455 * Isar/Provers: new 'hypsubst' method, plain 'subst' method and
  8456 'symmetric' attribute (the latter supercedes [RS sym]);
  8457 
  8458 * Isar/Provers: splitter support (via 'split' attribute and 'simp'
  8459 method modifier); 'simp' method: 'only:' modifier removes loopers as
  8460 well (including splits);
  8461 
  8462 * Isar/Provers: Simplifier and Classical methods now support all kind
  8463 of modifiers used in the past, including 'cong', 'iff', etc.
  8464 
  8465 * Isar/Provers: added 'fastsimp' and 'clarsimp' methods (combination
  8466 of Simplifier and Classical reasoner);
  8467 
  8468 * Isar/HOL: new proof method 'cases' and improved version of 'induct'
  8469 now support named cases; major packages (inductive, datatype, primrec,
  8470 recdef) support case names and properly name parameters;
  8471 
  8472 * Isar/HOL: new transitivity rules for substitution in inequalities --
  8473 monotonicity conditions are extracted to be proven at end of
  8474 calculations;
  8475 
  8476 * Isar/HOL: removed 'case_split' thm binding, should use 'cases' proof
  8477 method anyway;
  8478 
  8479 * Isar/HOL: removed old expand_if = split_if; theorems if_splits =
  8480 split_if split_if_asm; datatype package provides theorems foo.splits =
  8481 foo.split foo.split_asm for each datatype;
  8482 
  8483 * Isar/HOL: tuned inductive package, rename "intrs" to "intros"
  8484 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY), emulation of mk_cases feature for proof
  8485 scripts: new 'inductive_cases' command and 'ind_cases' method; (Note:
  8486 use "(cases (simplified))" method in proper proof texts);
  8487 
  8488 * Isar/HOL: added global 'arith_split' attribute for 'arith' method;
  8489 
  8490 * Isar: names of theorems etc. may be natural numbers as well;
  8491 
  8492 * Isar: 'pr' command: optional arguments for goals_limit and
  8493 ProofContext.prems_limit; no longer prints theory contexts, but only
  8494 proof states;
  8495 
  8496 * Isar: diagnostic commands 'pr', 'thm', 'prop', 'term', 'typ' admit
  8497 additional print modes to be specified; e.g. "pr(latex)" will print
  8498 proof state according to the Isabelle LaTeX style;
  8499 
  8500 * Isar: improved support for emulating tactic scripts, including proof
  8501 methods 'rule_tac' etc., 'cut_tac', 'thin_tac', 'subgoal_tac',
  8502 'rename_tac', 'rotate_tac', 'tactic', and 'case_tac' / 'induct_tac'
  8503 (for HOL datatypes);
  8504 
  8505 * Isar: simplified (more robust) goal selection of proof methods: 1st
  8506 goal, all goals, or explicit goal specifier (tactic emulation); thus
  8507 'proof method scripts' have to be in depth-first order;
  8508 
  8509 * Isar: tuned 'let' syntax: replaced 'as' keyword by 'and';
  8510 
  8511 * Isar: removed 'help' command, which hasn't been too helpful anyway;
  8512 should instead use individual commands for printing items
  8513 (print_commands, print_methods etc.);
  8514 
  8515 * Isar: added 'nothing' --- the empty list of theorems;
  8516 
  8517 
  8518 *** HOL ***
  8519 
  8520 * HOL/MicroJava: formalization of a fragment of Java, together with a
  8521 corresponding virtual machine and a specification of its bytecode
  8522 verifier and a lightweight bytecode verifier, including proofs of
  8523 type-safety; by Gerwin Klein, Tobias Nipkow, David von Oheimb, and
  8524 Cornelia Pusch (see also the homepage of project Bali at
  8525 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Bali/);
  8526 
  8527 * HOL/Algebra: new theory of rings and univariate polynomials, by
  8528 Clemens Ballarin;
  8529 
  8530 * HOL/NumberTheory: fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, Chinese
  8531 Remainder Theorem, Fermat/Euler Theorem, Wilson's Theorem, by Thomas M
  8532 Rasmussen;
  8533 
  8534 * HOL/Lattice: fundamental concepts of lattice theory and order
  8535 structures, including duals, properties of bounds versus algebraic
  8536 laws, lattice operations versus set-theoretic ones, the Knaster-Tarski
  8537 Theorem for complete lattices etc.; may also serve as a demonstration
  8538 for abstract algebraic reasoning using axiomatic type classes, and
  8539 mathematics-style proof in Isabelle/Isar; by Markus Wenzel;
  8540 
  8541 * HOL/Prolog: a (bare-bones) implementation of Lambda-Prolog, by David
  8542 von Oheimb;
  8543 
  8544 * HOL/IMPP: extension of IMP with local variables and mutually
  8545 recursive procedures, by David von Oheimb;
  8546 
  8547 * HOL/Lambda: converted into new-style theory and document;
  8548 
  8549 * HOL/ex/Multiquote: example of multiple nested quotations and
  8550 anti-quotations -- basically a generalized version of de-Bruijn
  8551 representation; very useful in avoiding lifting of operations;
  8552 
  8553 * HOL/record: added general record equality rule to simpset; fixed
  8554 select-update simplification procedure to handle extended records as
  8555 well; admit "r" as field name;
  8556 
  8557 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded over the new sort "zero", allowing its use with
  8558 other numeric types and also as the identity of groups, rings, etc.;
  8559 
  8560 * HOL: new axclass plus_ac0 for addition with the AC-laws and 0 as identity.
  8561 Types nat and int belong to this axclass;
  8562 
  8563 * HOL: greatly improved simplification involving numerals of type nat, int, real:
  8564    (i + #8 + j) = Suc k simplifies to  #7 + (i + j) = k
  8565    i*j + k + j*#3*i     simplifies to  #4*(i*j) + k
  8566   two terms #m*u and #n*u are replaced by #(m+n)*u
  8567     (where #m, #n and u can implicitly be 1; this is simproc combine_numerals)
  8568   and the term/formula #m*u+x ~~ #n*u+y simplifies simplifies to #(m-n)+x ~~ y
  8569     or x ~~ #(n-m)+y, where ~~ is one of = < <= or - (simproc cancel_numerals);
  8570 
  8571 * HOL: meson_tac is available (previously in ex/meson.ML); it is a
  8572 powerful prover for predicate logic but knows nothing of clasets; see
  8573 ex/mesontest.ML and ex/mesontest2.ML for example applications;
  8574 
  8575 * HOL: new version of "case_tac" subsumes both boolean case split and
  8576 "exhaust_tac" on datatypes; INCOMPATIBILITY: exhaust_tac no longer
  8577 exists, may define val exhaust_tac = case_tac for ad-hoc portability;
  8578 
  8579 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions: only the
  8580 selector expression is simplified, but not the remaining arms; to
  8581 enable full simplification of case-expressions for datatype t, you may
  8582 remove t.weak_case_cong from the simpset, either globally (Delcongs
  8583 [thm"t.weak_case_cong"];) or locally (delcongs [...]).
  8584 
  8585 * HOL/recdef: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' for
  8586 function 'f' are now called f.simps instead of f.rules; if all
  8587 termination conditions are proved automatically, these simplification
  8588 rules are added to the simpset, as in primrec; rules may be named
  8589 individually as well, resulting in a separate list of theorems for
  8590 each equation;
  8591 
  8592 * HOL/While is a new theory that provides a while-combinator. It
  8593 permits the definition of tail-recursive functions without the
  8594 provision of a termination measure. The latter is necessary once the
  8595 invariant proof rule for while is applied.
  8596 
  8597 * HOL: new (overloaded) notation for the set of elements below/above
  8598 some element: {..u}, {..u(}, {l..}, {)l..}. See theory SetInterval.
  8599 
  8600 * HOL: theorems impI, allI, ballI bound as "strip";
  8601 
  8602 * HOL: new tactic induct_thm_tac: thm -> string -> int -> tactic
  8603 induct_tac th "x1 ... xn" expects th to have a conclusion of the form
  8604 P v1 ... vn and abbreviates res_inst_tac [("v1","x1"),...,("vn","xn")] th;
  8605 
  8606 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
  8607 
  8608 * HOL: theory Sexp now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part of
  8609 main HOL, but was unused);
  8610 
  8611 * HOL: fewer consts declared as global (e.g. have to refer to
  8612 "Lfp.lfp" instead of "lfp" internally; affects ML packages only);
  8613 
  8614 * HOL: tuned AST representation of nested pairs, avoiding bogus output
  8615 in case of overlap with user translations (e.g. judgements over
  8616 tuples); (note that the underlying logical represenation is still
  8617 bogus);
  8618 
  8619 
  8620 *** ZF ***
  8621 
  8622 * ZF: simplification automatically cancels common terms in arithmetic
  8623 expressions over nat and int;
  8624 
  8625 * ZF: new treatment of nat to minimize type-checking: all operators
  8626 coerce their operands to a natural number using the function natify,
  8627 making the algebraic laws unconditional;
  8628 
  8629 * ZF: as above, for int: operators coerce their operands to an integer
  8630 using the function intify;
  8631 
  8632 * ZF: the integer library now contains many of the usual laws for the
  8633 orderings, including $<=, and monotonicity laws for $+ and $*;
  8634 
  8635 * ZF: new example ZF/ex/NatSum to demonstrate integer arithmetic
  8636 simplification;
  8637 
  8638 * FOL and ZF: AddIffs now available, giving theorems of the form P<->Q
  8639 to the simplifier and classical reasoner simultaneously;
  8640 
  8641 
  8642 *** General ***
  8643 
  8644 * Provers: blast_tac now handles actual object-logic rules as
  8645 assumptions; note that auto_tac uses blast_tac internally as well;
  8646 
  8647 * Provers: new functions rulify/rulify_no_asm: thm -> thm for turning
  8648 outer -->/All/Ball into ==>/!!; qed_spec_mp now uses rulify_no_asm;
  8649 
  8650 * Provers: delrules now handles destruct rules as well (no longer need
  8651 explicit make_elim);
  8652 
  8653 * Provers: Blast_tac now warns of and ignores "weak elimination rules" e.g.
  8654   [| inj ?f;          ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
  8655 use instead the strong form,
  8656   [| inj ?f; ~ ?W ==> ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
  8657 in HOL, FOL and ZF the function cla_make_elim will create such rules
  8658 from destruct-rules;
  8659 
  8660 * Provers: Simplifier.easy_setup provides a fast path to basic
  8661 Simplifier setup for new object-logics;
  8662 
  8663 * Pure: AST translation rules no longer require constant head on LHS;
  8664 
  8665 * Pure: improved name spaces: ambiguous output is qualified; support
  8666 for hiding of names;
  8667 
  8668 * system: smart setup of canonical ML_HOME, ISABELLE_INTERFACE, and
  8669 XSYMBOL_HOME; no longer need to do manual configuration in most
  8670 situations;
  8671 
  8672 * system: compression of ML heaps images may now be controlled via -c
  8673 option of isabelle and isatool usedir (currently only observed by
  8674 Poly/ML);
  8675 
  8676 * system: isatool installfonts may handle X-Symbol fonts as well (very
  8677 useful for remote X11);
  8678 
  8679 * system: provide TAGS file for Isabelle sources;
  8680 
  8681 * ML: infix 'OF' is a version of 'MRS' with more appropriate argument
  8682 order;
  8683 
  8684 * ML: renamed flags Syntax.trace_norm_ast to Syntax.trace_ast; global
  8685 timing flag supersedes proof_timing and Toplevel.trace;
  8686 
  8687 * ML: new combinators |>> and |>>> for incremental transformations
  8688 with secondary results (e.g. certain theory extensions):
  8689 
  8690 * ML: PureThy.add_defs gets additional argument to indicate potential
  8691 overloading (usually false);
  8692 
  8693 * ML: PureThy.add_thms/add_axioms/add_defs now return theorems as
  8694 results;
  8695 
  8696 
  8697 
  8698 New in Isabelle99 (October 1999)
  8699 --------------------------------
  8700 
  8701 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  8702 
  8703 * HOL: The THEN and ELSE parts of conditional expressions (if P then x else y)
  8704 are no longer simplified.  (This allows the simplifier to unfold recursive
  8705 functional programs.)  To restore the old behaviour, declare
  8706 
  8707     Delcongs [if_weak_cong];
  8708 
  8709 * HOL: Removed the obsolete syntax "Compl A"; use -A for set
  8710 complement;
  8711 
  8712 * HOL: the predicate "inj" is now defined by translation to "inj_on";
  8713 
  8714 * HOL/datatype: mutual_induct_tac no longer exists --
  8715   use induct_tac "x_1 ... x_n" instead of mutual_induct_tac ["x_1", ..., "x_n"]
  8716 
  8717 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
  8718 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
  8719 
  8720 * ZF: The con_defs part of an inductive definition may no longer refer
  8721 to constants declared in the same theory;
  8722 
  8723 * HOL, ZF: the function mk_cases, generated by the inductive
  8724 definition package, has lost an argument.  To simplify its result, it
  8725 uses the default simpset instead of a supplied list of theorems.
  8726 
  8727 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
  8728 
  8729 * Simplifier: the type of the infix ML functions
  8730         setSSolver addSSolver setSolver addSolver
  8731 is now  simpset * solver -> simpset  where `solver' is a new abstract type
  8732 for packaging solvers. A solver is created via
  8733         mk_solver: string -> (thm list -> int -> tactic) -> solver
  8734 where the string argument is only a comment.
  8735 
  8736 
  8737 *** Proof tools ***
  8738 
  8739 * Provers/Arith/fast_lin_arith.ML contains a functor for creating a
  8740 decision procedure for linear arithmetic. Currently it is used for
  8741 types `nat', `int', and `real' in HOL (see below); it can, should and
  8742 will be instantiated for other types and logics as well.
  8743 
  8744 * The simplifier now accepts rewrite rules with flexible heads, eg
  8745      hom ?f ==> ?f(?x+?y) = ?f ?x + ?f ?y
  8746   They are applied like any rule with a non-pattern lhs, i.e. by first-order
  8747   matching.
  8748 
  8749 
  8750 *** General ***
  8751 
  8752 * New Isabelle/Isar subsystem provides an alternative to traditional
  8753 tactical theorem proving; together with the ProofGeneral/isar user
  8754 interface it offers an interactive environment for developing human
  8755 readable proof documents (Isar == Intelligible semi-automated
  8756 reasoning); for further information see isatool doc isar-ref,
  8757 src/HOL/Isar_examples and http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Isar/
  8758 
  8759 * improved and simplified presentation of theories: better HTML markup
  8760 (including colors), graph views in several sizes; isatool usedir now
  8761 provides a proper interface for user theories (via -P option); actual
  8762 document preparation based on (PDF)LaTeX is available as well (for
  8763 new-style theories only); see isatool doc system for more information;
  8764 
  8765 * native support for Proof General, both for classic Isabelle and
  8766 Isabelle/Isar;
  8767 
  8768 * ML function thm_deps visualizes dependencies of theorems and lemmas,
  8769 using the graph browser tool;
  8770 
  8771 * Isabelle manuals now also available as PDF;
  8772 
  8773 * theory loader rewritten from scratch (may not be fully
  8774 bug-compatible); old loadpath variable has been replaced by show_path,
  8775 add_path, del_path, reset_path functions; new operations such as
  8776 update_thy, touch_thy, remove_thy, use/update_thy_only (see also
  8777 isatool doc ref);
  8778 
  8779 * improved isatool install: option -k creates KDE application icon,
  8780 option -p DIR installs standalone binaries;
  8781 
  8782 * added ML_PLATFORM setting (useful for cross-platform installations);
  8783 more robust handling of platform specific ML images for SML/NJ;
  8784 
  8785 * the settings environment is now statically scoped, i.e. it is never
  8786 created again in sub-processes invoked from isabelle, isatool, or
  8787 Isabelle;
  8788 
  8789 * path element specification '~~' refers to '$ISABELLE_HOME';
  8790 
  8791 * in locales, the "assumes" and "defines" parts may be omitted if
  8792 empty;
  8793 
  8794 * new print_mode "xsymbols" for extended symbol support (e.g. genuine
  8795 long arrows);
  8796 
  8797 * new print_mode "HTML";
  8798 
  8799 * new flag show_tags controls display of tags of theorems (which are
  8800 basically just comments that may be attached by some tools);
  8801 
  8802 * Isamode 2.6 requires patch to accomodate change of Isabelle font
  8803 mode and goal output format:
  8804 
  8805 diff -r Isamode-2.6/elisp/isa-load.el Isamode/elisp/isa-load.el
  8806 244c244
  8807 <       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-msymbols" logic-name)
  8808 ---
  8809 >       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-misabelle_font" "-msymbols" logic-name)
  8810 diff -r Isabelle-2.6/elisp/isa-proofstate.el Isamode/elisp/isa-proofstate.el
  8811 181c181
  8812 < (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+$"
  8813 ---
  8814 > (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+"
  8815 
  8816 * function bind_thms stores lists of theorems (cf. bind_thm);
  8817 
  8818 * new shorthand tactics ftac, eatac, datac, fatac;
  8819 
  8820 * qed (and friends) now accept "" as result name; in that case the
  8821 theorem is not stored, but proper checks and presentation of the
  8822 result still apply;
  8823 
  8824 * theorem database now also indexes constants "Trueprop", "all",
  8825 "==>", "=="; thus thms_containing, findI etc. may retrieve more rules;
  8826 
  8827 
  8828 *** HOL ***
  8829 
  8830 ** HOL arithmetic **
  8831 
  8832 * There are now decision procedures for linear arithmetic over nat and
  8833 int:
  8834 
  8835 1. arith_tac copes with arbitrary formulae involving `=', `<', `<=',
  8836 `+', `-', `Suc', `min', `max' and numerical constants; other subterms
  8837 are treated as atomic; subformulae not involving type `nat' or `int'
  8838 are ignored; quantified subformulae are ignored unless they are
  8839 positive universal or negative existential. The tactic has to be
  8840 invoked by hand and can be a little bit slow. In particular, the
  8841 running time is exponential in the number of occurrences of `min' and
  8842 `max', and `-' on `nat'.
  8843 
  8844 2. fast_arith_tac is a cut-down version of arith_tac: it only takes
  8845 (negated) (in)equalities among the premises and the conclusion into
  8846 account (i.e. no compound formulae) and does not know about `min' and
  8847 `max', and `-' on `nat'. It is fast and is used automatically by the
  8848 simplifier.
  8849 
  8850 NB: At the moment, these decision procedures do not cope with mixed
  8851 nat/int formulae where the two parts interact, such as `m < n ==>
  8852 int(m) < int(n)'.
  8853 
  8854 * HOL/Numeral provides a generic theory of numerals (encoded
  8855 efficiently as bit strings); setup for types nat/int/real is in place;
  8856 INCOMPATIBILITY: since numeral syntax is now polymorphic, rather than
  8857 int, existing theories and proof scripts may require a few additional
  8858 type constraints;
  8859 
  8860 * integer division and remainder can now be performed on constant
  8861 arguments;
  8862 
  8863 * many properties of integer multiplication, division and remainder
  8864 are now available;
  8865 
  8866 * An interface to the Stanford Validity Checker (SVC) is available through the
  8867 tactic svc_tac.  Propositional tautologies and theorems of linear arithmetic
  8868 are proved automatically.  SVC must be installed separately, and its results
  8869 must be TAKEN ON TRUST (Isabelle does not check the proofs, but tags any
  8870 invocation of the underlying oracle).  For SVC see
  8871   http://verify.stanford.edu/SVC
  8872 
  8873 * IsaMakefile: the HOL-Real target now builds an actual image;
  8874 
  8875 
  8876 ** HOL misc **
  8877 
  8878 * HOL/Real/HahnBanach: the Hahn-Banach theorem for real vector spaces
  8879 (in Isabelle/Isar) -- by Gertrud Bauer;
  8880 
  8881 * HOL/BCV: generic model of bytecode verification, i.e. data-flow
  8882 analysis for assembly languages with subtypes;
  8883 
  8884 * HOL/TLA (Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions): major reorganization
  8885 -- avoids syntactic ambiguities and treats state, transition, and
  8886 temporal levels more uniformly; introduces INCOMPATIBILITIES due to
  8887 changed syntax and (many) tactics;
  8888 
  8889 * HOL/inductive: Now also handles more general introduction rules such
  8890   as "ALL y. (y, x) : r --> y : acc r ==> x : acc r"; monotonicity
  8891   theorems are now maintained within the theory (maintained via the
  8892   "mono" attribute);
  8893 
  8894 * HOL/datatype: Now also handles arbitrarily branching datatypes
  8895   (using function types) such as
  8896 
  8897   datatype 'a tree = Atom 'a | Branch "nat => 'a tree"
  8898 
  8899 * HOL/record: record_simproc (part of the default simpset) takes care
  8900 of selectors applied to updated records; record_split_tac is no longer
  8901 part of the default claset; update_defs may now be removed from the
  8902 simpset in many cases; COMPATIBILITY: old behavior achieved by
  8903 
  8904   claset_ref () := claset() addSWrapper record_split_wrapper;
  8905   Delsimprocs [record_simproc]
  8906 
  8907 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
  8908 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
  8909 
  8910 * HOL/recdef (TFL): 'congs' syntax now expects comma separated list of theorem
  8911 names rather than an ML expression;
  8912 
  8913 * HOL/defer_recdef (TFL): like recdef but the well-founded relation can be
  8914 supplied later.  Program schemes can be defined, such as
  8915     "While B C s = (if B s then While B C (C s) else s)"
  8916 where the well-founded relation can be chosen after B and C have been given.
  8917 
  8918 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
  8919 INCOMPATIBILITY: while [] and infix # syntax is still there, of
  8920 course, ML tools referring to List.list.op # etc. have to be adapted;
  8921 
  8922 * HOL_quantifiers flag superseded by "HOL" print mode, which is
  8923 disabled by default; run isabelle with option -m HOL to get back to
  8924 the original Gordon/HOL-style output;
  8925 
  8926 * HOL/Ord.thy: new bounded quantifier syntax (input only): ALL x<y. P,
  8927 ALL x<=y. P, EX x<y. P, EX x<=y. P;
  8928 
  8929 * HOL basic syntax simplified (more orthogonal): all variants of
  8930 All/Ex now support plain / symbolic / HOL notation; plain syntax for
  8931 Eps operator is provided as well: "SOME x. P[x]";
  8932 
  8933 * HOL/Sum.thy: sum_case has been moved to HOL/Datatype;
  8934 
  8935 * HOL/Univ.thy: infix syntax <*>, <+>, <**>, <+> eliminated and made
  8936 thus available for user theories;
  8937 
  8938 * HOLCF/IOA/Sequents: renamed 'Cons' to 'Consq' to avoid clash with
  8939 HOL/List; hardly an INCOMPATIBILITY since '>>' syntax is used all the
  8940 time;
  8941 
  8942 * HOL: new tactic smp_tac: int -> int -> tactic, which applies spec
  8943 several times and then mp;
  8944 
  8945 
  8946 *** LK ***
  8947 
  8948 * the notation <<...>> is now available as a notation for sequences of
  8949 formulas;
  8950 
  8951 * the simplifier is now installed
  8952 
  8953 * the axiom system has been generalized (thanks to Soren Heilmann)
  8954 
  8955 * the classical reasoner now has a default rule database
  8956 
  8957 
  8958 *** ZF ***
  8959 
  8960 * new primrec section allows primitive recursive functions to be given
  8961 directly (as in HOL) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
  8962 
  8963 * new tactics induct_tac and exhaust_tac for induction (or case
  8964 analysis) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
  8965 
  8966 * the datatype declaration of type T now defines the recursor T_rec;
  8967 
  8968 * simplification automatically does freeness reasoning for datatype
  8969 constructors;
  8970 
  8971 * automatic type-inference, with AddTCs command to insert new
  8972 type-checking rules;
  8973 
  8974 * datatype introduction rules are now added as Safe Introduction rules
  8975 to the claset;
  8976 
  8977 * the syntax "if P then x else y" is now available in addition to
  8978 if(P,x,y);
  8979 
  8980 
  8981 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
  8982 
  8983 * tuned simplifier trace output; new flag debug_simp;
  8984 
  8985 * structures Vartab / Termtab (instances of TableFun) offer efficient
  8986 tables indexed by indexname_ord / term_ord (compatible with aconv);
  8987 
  8988 * AxClass.axclass_tac lost the theory argument;
  8989 
  8990 * tuned current_goals_markers semantics: begin / end goal avoids
  8991 printing empty lines;
  8992 
  8993 * removed prs and prs_fn hook, which was broken because it did not
  8994 include \n in its semantics, forcing writeln to add one
  8995 uncoditionally; replaced prs_fn by writeln_fn; consider std_output:
  8996 string -> unit if you really want to output text without newline;
  8997 
  8998 * Symbol.output subject to print mode; INCOMPATIBILITY: defaults to
  8999 plain output, interface builders may have to enable 'isabelle_font'
  9000 mode to get Isabelle font glyphs as before;
  9001 
  9002 * refined token_translation interface; INCOMPATIBILITY: output length
  9003 now of type real instead of int;
  9004 
  9005 * theory loader actions may be traced via new ThyInfo.add_hook
  9006 interface (see src/Pure/Thy/thy_info.ML); example application: keep
  9007 your own database of information attached to *whole* theories -- as
  9008 opposed to intra-theory data slots offered via TheoryDataFun;
  9009 
  9010 * proper handling of dangling sort hypotheses (at last!);
  9011 Thm.strip_shyps and Drule.strip_shyps_warning take care of removing
  9012 extra sort hypotheses that can be witnessed from the type signature;
  9013 the force_strip_shyps flag is gone, any remaining shyps are simply
  9014 left in the theorem (with a warning issued by strip_shyps_warning);
  9015 
  9016 
  9017 
  9018 New in Isabelle98-1 (October 1998)
  9019 ----------------------------------
  9020 
  9021 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  9022 
  9023 * several changes of automated proof tools;
  9024 
  9025 * HOL: major changes to the inductive and datatype packages, including
  9026 some minor incompatibilities of theory syntax;
  9027 
  9028 * HOL: renamed r^-1 to 'converse' from 'inverse'; 'inj_onto' is now
  9029 called `inj_on';
  9030 
  9031 * HOL: removed duplicate thms in Arith:
  9032   less_imp_add_less  should be replaced by  trans_less_add1
  9033   le_imp_add_le      should be replaced by  trans_le_add1
  9034 
  9035 * HOL: unary minus is now overloaded (new type constraints may be
  9036 required);
  9037 
  9038 * HOL and ZF: unary minus for integers is now #- instead of #~.  In
  9039 ZF, expressions such as n#-1 must be changed to n#- 1, since #-1 is
  9040 now taken as an integer constant.
  9041 
  9042 * Pure: ML function 'theory_of' renamed to 'theory';
  9043 
  9044 
  9045 *** Proof tools ***
  9046 
  9047 * Simplifier:
  9048   1. Asm_full_simp_tac is now more aggressive.
  9049      1. It will sometimes reorient premises if that increases their power to
  9050         simplify.
  9051      2. It does no longer proceed strictly from left to right but may also
  9052         rotate premises to achieve further simplification.
  9053      For compatibility reasons there is now Asm_lr_simp_tac which is like the
  9054      old Asm_full_simp_tac in that it does not rotate premises.
  9055   2. The simplifier now knows a little bit about nat-arithmetic.
  9056 
  9057 * Classical reasoner: wrapper mechanism for the classical reasoner now
  9058 allows for selected deletion of wrappers, by introduction of names for
  9059 wrapper functionals.  This implies that addbefore, addSbefore,
  9060 addaltern, and addSaltern now take a pair (name, tactic) as argument,
  9061 and that adding two tactics with the same name overwrites the first
  9062 one (emitting a warning).
  9063   type wrapper = (int -> tactic) -> (int -> tactic)
  9064   setWrapper, setSWrapper, compWrapper and compSWrapper are replaced by
  9065   addWrapper, addSWrapper: claset * (string * wrapper) -> claset
  9066   delWrapper, delSWrapper: claset *  string            -> claset
  9067   getWrapper is renamed to appWrappers, getSWrapper to appSWrappers;
  9068 
  9069 * Classical reasoner: addbefore/addSbefore now have APPEND/ORELSE
  9070 semantics; addbefore now affects only the unsafe part of step_tac
  9071 etc.; this affects addss/auto_tac/force_tac, so EXISTING PROOFS MAY
  9072 FAIL, but proofs should be fixable easily, e.g. by replacing Auto_tac
  9073 by Force_tac;
  9074 
  9075 * Classical reasoner: setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to
  9076 compWrapper; added safe wrapper (and access functions for it);
  9077 
  9078 * HOL/split_all_tac is now much faster and fails if there is nothing
  9079 to split.  Some EXISTING PROOFS MAY REQUIRE ADAPTION because the order
  9080 and the names of the automatically generated variables have changed.
  9081 split_all_tac has moved within claset() from unsafe wrappers to safe
  9082 wrappers, which means that !!-bound variables are split much more
  9083 aggressively, and safe_tac and clarify_tac now split such variables.
  9084 If this splitting is not appropriate, use delSWrapper "split_all_tac".
  9085 Note: the same holds for record_split_tac, which does the job of
  9086 split_all_tac for record fields.
  9087 
  9088 * HOL/Simplifier: Rewrite rules for case distinctions can now be added
  9089 permanently to the default simpset using Addsplits just like
  9090 Addsimps. They can be removed via Delsplits just like
  9091 Delsimps. Lower-case versions are also available.
  9092 
  9093 * HOL/Simplifier: The rule split_if is now part of the default
  9094 simpset. This means that the simplifier will eliminate all occurrences
  9095 of if-then-else in the conclusion of a goal. To prevent this, you can
  9096 either remove split_if completely from the default simpset by
  9097 `Delsplits [split_if]' or remove it in a specific call of the
  9098 simplifier using `... delsplits [split_if]'.  You can also add/delete
  9099 other case splitting rules to/from the default simpset: every datatype
  9100 generates suitable rules `split_t_case' and `split_t_case_asm' (where
  9101 t is the name of the datatype).
  9102 
  9103 * Classical reasoner / Simplifier combination: new force_tac (and
  9104 derivatives Force_tac, force) combines rewriting and classical
  9105 reasoning (and whatever other tools) similarly to auto_tac, but is
  9106 aimed to solve the given subgoal completely.
  9107 
  9108 
  9109 *** General ***
  9110 
  9111 * new top-level commands `Goal' and `Goalw' that improve upon `goal'
  9112 and `goalw': the theory is no longer needed as an explicit argument -
  9113 the current theory context is used; assumptions are no longer returned
  9114 at the ML-level unless one of them starts with ==> or !!; it is
  9115 recommended to convert to these new commands using isatool fixgoal
  9116 (backup your sources first!);
  9117 
  9118 * new top-level commands 'thm' and 'thms' for retrieving theorems from
  9119 the current theory context, and 'theory' to lookup stored theories;
  9120 
  9121 * new theory section 'locale' for declaring constants, assumptions and
  9122 definitions that have local scope;
  9123 
  9124 * new theory section 'nonterminals' for purely syntactic types;
  9125 
  9126 * new theory section 'setup' for generic ML setup functions
  9127 (e.g. package initialization);
  9128 
  9129 * the distribution now includes Isabelle icons: see
  9130 lib/logo/isabelle-{small,tiny}.xpm;
  9131 
  9132 * isatool install - install binaries with absolute references to
  9133 ISABELLE_HOME/bin;
  9134 
  9135 * isatool logo -- create instances of the Isabelle logo (as EPS);
  9136 
  9137 * print mode 'emacs' reserved for Isamode;
  9138 
  9139 * support multiple print (ast) translations per constant name;
  9140 
  9141 * theorems involving oracles are now printed with a suffixed [!];
  9142 
  9143 
  9144 *** HOL ***
  9145 
  9146 * there is now a tutorial on Isabelle/HOL (do 'isatool doc tutorial');
  9147 
  9148 * HOL/inductive package reorganized and improved: now supports mutual
  9149 definitions such as
  9150 
  9151   inductive EVEN ODD
  9152     intrs
  9153       null "0 : EVEN"
  9154       oddI "n : EVEN ==> Suc n : ODD"
  9155       evenI "n : ODD ==> Suc n : EVEN"
  9156 
  9157 new theorem list "elims" contains an elimination rule for each of the
  9158 recursive sets; inductive definitions now handle disjunctive premises
  9159 correctly (also ZF);
  9160 
  9161 INCOMPATIBILITIES: requires Inductive as an ancestor; component
  9162 "mutual_induct" no longer exists - the induction rule is always
  9163 contained in "induct";
  9164 
  9165 
  9166 * HOL/datatype package re-implemented and greatly improved: now
  9167 supports mutually recursive datatypes such as
  9168 
  9169   datatype
  9170     'a aexp = IF_THEN_ELSE ('a bexp) ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9171             | SUM ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9172             | DIFF ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9173             | NUM 'a
  9174   and
  9175     'a bexp = LESS ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9176             | AND ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
  9177             | OR ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
  9178 
  9179 as well as indirectly recursive datatypes such as
  9180 
  9181   datatype
  9182     ('a, 'b) term = Var 'a
  9183                   | App 'b ((('a, 'b) term) list)
  9184 
  9185 The new tactic  mutual_induct_tac [<var_1>, ..., <var_n>] i  performs
  9186 induction on mutually / indirectly recursive datatypes.
  9187 
  9188 Primrec equations are now stored in theory and can be accessed via
  9189 <function_name>.simps.
  9190 
  9191 INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  9192 
  9193   - Theories using datatypes must now have theory Datatype as an
  9194     ancestor.
  9195   - The specific <typename>.induct_tac no longer exists - use the
  9196     generic induct_tac instead.
  9197   - natE has been renamed to nat.exhaust - use exhaust_tac
  9198     instead of res_inst_tac ... natE. Note that the variable
  9199     names in nat.exhaust differ from the names in natE, this
  9200     may cause some "fragile" proofs to fail.
  9201   - The theorems split_<typename>_case and split_<typename>_case_asm
  9202     have been renamed to <typename>.split and <typename>.split_asm.
  9203   - Since default sorts of type variables are now handled correctly,
  9204     some datatype definitions may have to be annotated with explicit
  9205     sort constraints.
  9206   - Primrec definitions no longer require function name and type
  9207     of recursive argument.
  9208 
  9209 Consider using isatool fixdatatype to adapt your theories and proof
  9210 scripts to the new package (backup your sources first!).
  9211 
  9212 
  9213 * HOL/record package: considerably improved implementation; now
  9214 includes concrete syntax for record types, terms, updates; theorems
  9215 for surjective pairing and splitting !!-bound record variables; proof
  9216 support is as follows:
  9217 
  9218   1) standard conversions (selectors or updates applied to record
  9219 constructor terms) are part of the standard simpset;
  9220 
  9221   2) inject equations of the form ((x, y) = (x', y')) == x=x' & y=y' are
  9222 made part of standard simpset and claset via addIffs;
  9223 
  9224   3) a tactic for record field splitting (record_split_tac) is part of
  9225 the standard claset (addSWrapper);
  9226 
  9227 To get a better idea about these rules you may retrieve them via
  9228 something like 'thms "foo.simps"' or 'thms "foo.iffs"', where "foo" is
  9229 the name of your record type.
  9230 
  9231 The split tactic 3) conceptually simplifies by the following rule:
  9232 
  9233   "(!!x. PROP ?P x) == (!!a b. PROP ?P (a, b))"
  9234 
  9235 Thus any record variable that is bound by meta-all will automatically
  9236 blow up into some record constructor term, consequently the
  9237 simplifications of 1), 2) apply.  Thus force_tac, auto_tac etc. shall
  9238 solve record problems automatically.
  9239 
  9240 
  9241 * reorganized the main HOL image: HOL/Integ and String loaded by
  9242 default; theory Main includes everything;
  9243 
  9244 * automatic simplification of integer sums and comparisons, using cancellation;
  9245 
  9246 * added option_map_eq_Some and not_Some_eq to the default simpset and claset;
  9247 
  9248 * added disj_not1 = "(~P | Q) = (P --> Q)" to the default simpset;
  9249 
  9250 * many new identities for unions, intersections, set difference, etc.;
  9251 
  9252 * expand_if, expand_split, expand_sum_case and expand_nat_case are now
  9253 called split_if, split_split, split_sum_case and split_nat_case (to go
  9254 with add/delsplits);
  9255 
  9256 * HOL/Prod introduces simplification procedure unit_eq_proc rewriting
  9257 (?x::unit) = (); this is made part of the default simpset, which COULD
  9258 MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL under rare circumstances (consider
  9259 'Delsimprocs [unit_eq_proc];' as last resort); also note that
  9260 unit_abs_eta_conv is added in order to counter the effect of
  9261 unit_eq_proc on (%u::unit. f u), replacing it by f rather than by
  9262 %u.f();
  9263 
  9264 * HOL/Fun INCOMPATIBILITY: `inj_onto' is now called `inj_on' (which
  9265 makes more sense);
  9266 
  9267 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
  9268   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
  9269   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
  9270 
  9271 * HOL/Relation INCOMPATIBILITY: renamed the relational operator r^-1
  9272 to 'converse' from 'inverse' (for compatibility with ZF and some
  9273 literature);
  9274 
  9275 * HOL/recdef can now declare non-recursive functions, with {} supplied as
  9276 the well-founded relation;
  9277 
  9278 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: the complement of set A is now written -A instead of
  9279     Compl A.  The "Compl" syntax remains available as input syntax for this
  9280     release ONLY.
  9281 
  9282 * HOL/Update: new theory of function updates:
  9283     f(a:=b) == %x. if x=a then b else f x
  9284 may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
  9285 
  9286 * HOL/Vimage: new theory for inverse image of a function, syntax f-``B;
  9287 
  9288 * HOL/List:
  9289   - new function list_update written xs[i:=v] that updates the i-th
  9290     list position. May also be iterated as in xs[i:=a,j:=b,...].
  9291   - new function `upt' written [i..j(] which generates the list
  9292     [i,i+1,...,j-1], i.e. the upper bound is excluded. To include the upper
  9293     bound write [i..j], which is a shorthand for [i..j+1(].
  9294   - new lexicographic orderings and corresponding wellfoundedness theorems.
  9295 
  9296 * HOL/Arith:
  9297   - removed 'pred' (predecessor) function;
  9298   - generalized some theorems about n-1;
  9299   - many new laws about "div" and "mod";
  9300   - new laws about greatest common divisors (see theory ex/Primes);
  9301 
  9302 * HOL/Relation: renamed the relational operator r^-1 "converse"
  9303 instead of "inverse";
  9304 
  9305 * HOL/Induct/Multiset: a theory of multisets, including the wellfoundedness
  9306   of the multiset ordering;
  9307 
  9308 * directory HOL/Real: a construction of the reals using Dedekind cuts
  9309   (not included by default);
  9310 
  9311 * directory HOL/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY formalism;
  9312 
  9313 * directory HOL/Hoare: a new version of Hoare logic which permits many-sorted
  9314   programs, i.e. different program variables may have different types.
  9315 
  9316 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
  9317   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
  9318   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
  9319 
  9320 
  9321 *** ZF ***
  9322 
  9323 * theory Main includes everything; INCOMPATIBILITY: theory ZF.thy contains
  9324   only the theorems proved on ZF.ML;
  9325 
  9326 * ZF INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
  9327   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
  9328   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
  9329 
  9330 * ZF/Update: new theory of function updates
  9331     with default rewrite rule  f(x:=y) ` z = if(z=x, y, f`z)
  9332   may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
  9333 
  9334 * in  let x=t in u(x), neither t nor u(x) has to be an FOL term.
  9335 
  9336 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
  9337   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
  9338   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
  9339 
  9340 * case_tac provided for compatibility with HOL
  9341     (like the old excluded_middle_tac, but with subgoals swapped)
  9342 
  9343 
  9344 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
  9345 
  9346 * Pure: several new basic modules made available for general use, see
  9347 also src/Pure/README;
  9348 
  9349 * improved the theory data mechanism to support encapsulation (data
  9350 kind name replaced by private Object.kind, acting as authorization
  9351 key); new type-safe user interface via functor TheoryDataFun; generic
  9352 print_data function becomes basically useless;
  9353 
  9354 * removed global_names compatibility flag -- all theory declarations
  9355 are qualified by default;
  9356 
  9357 * module Pure/Syntax now offers quote / antiquote translation
  9358 functions (useful for Hoare logic etc. with implicit dependencies);
  9359 see HOL/ex/Antiquote for an example use;
  9360 
  9361 * Simplifier now offers conversions (asm_)(full_)rewrite: simpset ->
  9362 cterm -> thm;
  9363 
  9364 * new tactical CHANGED_GOAL for checking that a tactic modifies a
  9365 subgoal;
  9366 
  9367 * Display.print_goals function moved to Locale.print_goals;
  9368 
  9369 * standard print function for goals supports current_goals_markers
  9370 variable for marking begin of proof, end of proof, start of goal; the
  9371 default is ("", "", ""); setting current_goals_markers := ("<proof>",
  9372 "</proof>", "<goal>") causes SGML like tagged proof state printing,
  9373 for example;
  9374 
  9375 
  9376 
  9377 New in Isabelle98 (January 1998)
  9378 --------------------------------
  9379 
  9380 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  9381 
  9382 * changed lexical syntax of terms / types: dots made part of long
  9383 identifiers, e.g. "%x.x" no longer possible, should be "%x. x";
  9384 
  9385 * simpset (and claset) reference variable replaced by functions
  9386 simpset / simpset_ref;
  9387 
  9388 * no longer supports theory aliases (via merge) and non-trivial
  9389 implicit merge of thms' signatures;
  9390 
  9391 * most internal names of constants changed due to qualified names;
  9392 
  9393 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML);
  9394 
  9395 
  9396 *** General Changes ***
  9397 
  9398 * hierachically structured name spaces (for consts, types, axms, thms
  9399 etc.); new lexical class 'longid' (e.g. Foo.bar.x) may render much of
  9400 old input syntactically incorrect (e.g. "%x.x"); COMPATIBILITY:
  9401 isatool fixdots ensures space after dots (e.g. "%x. x"); set
  9402 long_names for fully qualified output names; NOTE: ML programs
  9403 (special tactics, packages etc.) referring to internal names may have
  9404 to be adapted to cope with fully qualified names; in case of severe
  9405 backward campatibility problems try setting 'global_names' at compile
  9406 time to have enrything declared within a flat name space; one may also
  9407 fine tune name declarations in theories via the 'global' and 'local'
  9408 section;
  9409 
  9410 * reimplemented the implicit simpset and claset using the new anytype
  9411 data filed in signatures; references simpset:simpset ref etc. are
  9412 replaced by functions simpset:unit->simpset and
  9413 simpset_ref:unit->simpset ref; COMPATIBILITY: use isatool fixclasimp
  9414 to patch your ML files accordingly;
  9415 
  9416 * HTML output now includes theory graph data for display with Java
  9417 applet or isatool browser; data generated automatically via isatool
  9418 usedir (see -i option, ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS);
  9419 
  9420 * defs may now be conditional; improved rewrite_goals_tac to handle
  9421 conditional equations;
  9422 
  9423 * defs now admits additional type arguments, using TYPE('a) syntax;
  9424 
  9425 * theory aliases via merge (e.g. M=A+B+C) no longer supported, always
  9426 creates a new theory node; implicit merge of thms' signatures is
  9427 restricted to 'trivial' ones; COMPATIBILITY: one may have to use
  9428 transfer:theory->thm->thm in (rare) cases;
  9429 
  9430 * improved handling of draft signatures / theories; draft thms (and
  9431 ctyps, cterms) are automatically promoted to real ones;
  9432 
  9433 * slightly changed interfaces for oracles: admit many per theory, named
  9434 (e.g. oracle foo = mlfun), additional name argument for invoke_oracle;
  9435 
  9436 * print_goals: optional output of const types (set show_consts and
  9437 show_types);
  9438 
  9439 * improved output of warnings (###) and errors (***);
  9440 
  9441 * subgoal_tac displays a warning if the new subgoal has type variables;
  9442 
  9443 * removed old README and Makefiles;
  9444 
  9445 * replaced print_goals_ref hook by print_current_goals_fn and result_error_fn;
  9446 
  9447 * removed obsolete init_pps and init_database;
  9448 
  9449 * deleted the obsolete tactical STATE, which was declared by
  9450     fun STATE tacfun st = tacfun st st;
  9451 
  9452 * cd and use now support path variables, e.g. $ISABELLE_HOME, or ~
  9453 (which abbreviates $HOME);
  9454 
  9455 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML); COMPATIBILITY:
  9456 use isatool fixseq to adapt your ML programs (this works for fully
  9457 qualified references to the Sequence structure only!);
  9458 
  9459 * use_thy no longer requires writable current directory; it always
  9460 reloads .ML *and* .thy file, if either one is out of date;
  9461 
  9462 
  9463 *** Classical Reasoner ***
  9464 
  9465 * Clarify_tac, clarify_tac, clarify_step_tac, Clarify_step_tac: new
  9466 tactics that use classical reasoning to simplify a subgoal without
  9467 splitting it into several subgoals;
  9468 
  9469 * Safe_tac: like safe_tac but uses the default claset;
  9470 
  9471 
  9472 *** Simplifier ***
  9473 
  9474 * added simplification meta rules:
  9475     (asm_)(full_)simplify: simpset -> thm -> thm;
  9476 
  9477 * simplifier.ML no longer part of Pure -- has to be loaded by object
  9478 logics (again);
  9479 
  9480 * added prems argument to simplification procedures;
  9481 
  9482 * HOL, FOL, ZF: added infix function `addsplits':
  9483   instead of `<simpset> setloop (split_tac <thms>)'
  9484   you can simply write `<simpset> addsplits <thms>'
  9485 
  9486 
  9487 *** Syntax ***
  9488 
  9489 * TYPE('a) syntax for type reflection terms;
  9490 
  9491 * no longer handles consts with name "" -- declare as 'syntax' instead;
  9492 
  9493 * pretty printer: changed order of mixfix annotation preference (again!);
  9494 
  9495 * Pure: fixed idt/idts vs. pttrn/pttrns syntactic categories;
  9496 
  9497 
  9498 *** HOL ***
  9499 
  9500 * HOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
  9501   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
  9502 
  9503 * HOL/TLA: Stephan Merz's formalization of Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions;
  9504 
  9505 * HOL/Auth: new protocol proofs including some for the Internet
  9506   protocol TLS;
  9507 
  9508 * HOL/Map: new theory of `maps' a la VDM;
  9509 
  9510 * HOL/simplifier: simplification procedures nat_cancel_sums for
  9511 cancelling out common nat summands from =, <, <= (in)equalities, or
  9512 differences; simplification procedures nat_cancel_factor for
  9513 cancelling common factor from =, <, <= (in)equalities over natural
  9514 sums; nat_cancel contains both kinds of procedures, it is installed by
  9515 default in Arith.thy -- this COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL;
  9516 
  9517 * HOL/simplifier: terms of the form
  9518   `? x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x)'  (or t=x)
  9519   are rewritten to
  9520   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t)',
  9521   and those of the form
  9522   `! x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x) --> R(x)'  (or t=x)
  9523   are rewritten to
  9524   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t) --> R(t)',
  9525 
  9526 * HOL/datatype
  9527   Each datatype `t' now comes with a theorem `split_t_case' of the form
  9528 
  9529   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
  9530      ( (!y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 --> P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) &
  9531         ...
  9532        (!y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn --> P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
  9533      )
  9534 
  9535   and a theorem `split_t_case_asm' of the form
  9536 
  9537   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
  9538     ~( (? y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 & ~P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) |
  9539         ...
  9540        (? y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn & ~P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
  9541      )
  9542   which can be added to a simpset via `addsplits'. The existing theorems
  9543   expand_list_case and expand_option_case have been renamed to
  9544   split_list_case and split_option_case.
  9545 
  9546 * HOL/Arithmetic:
  9547   - `pred n' is automatically converted to `n-1'.
  9548     Users are strongly encouraged not to use `pred' any longer,
  9549     because it will disappear altogether at some point.
  9550   - Users are strongly encouraged to write "0 < n" rather than
  9551     "n ~= 0". Theorems and proof tools have been modified towards this
  9552     `standard'.
  9553 
  9554 * HOL/Lists:
  9555   the function "set_of_list" has been renamed "set" (and its theorems too);
  9556   the function "nth" now takes its arguments in the reverse order and
  9557   has acquired the infix notation "!" as in "xs!n".
  9558 
  9559 * HOL/Set: UNIV is now a constant and is no longer translated to Compl{};
  9560 
  9561 * HOL/Set: The operator (UN x.B x) now abbreviates (UN x:UNIV. B x) and its
  9562   specialist theorems (like UN1_I) are gone.  Similarly for (INT x.B x);
  9563 
  9564 * HOL/record: extensible records with schematic structural subtyping
  9565 (single inheritance); EXPERIMENTAL version demonstrating the encoding,
  9566 still lacks various theorems and concrete record syntax;
  9567 
  9568 
  9569 *** HOLCF ***
  9570 
  9571 * removed "axioms" and "generated by" sections;
  9572 
  9573 * replaced "ops" section by extended "consts" section, which is capable of
  9574   handling the continuous function space "->" directly;
  9575 
  9576 * domain package:
  9577   . proves theorems immediately and stores them in the theory,
  9578   . creates hierachical name space,
  9579   . now uses normal mixfix annotations (instead of cinfix...),
  9580   . minor changes to some names and values (for consistency),
  9581   . e.g. cases -> casedist, dists_eq -> dist_eqs, [take_lemma] -> take_lemmas,
  9582   . separator between mutual domain defs: changed "," to "and",
  9583   . improved handling of sort constraints;  now they have to
  9584     appear on the left-hand side of the equations only;
  9585 
  9586 * fixed LAM <x,y,zs>.b syntax;
  9587 
  9588 * added extended adm_tac to simplifier in HOLCF -- can now discharge
  9589 adm (%x. P (t x)), where P is chainfinite and t continuous;
  9590 
  9591 
  9592 *** FOL and ZF ***
  9593 
  9594 * FOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
  9595   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
  9596 
  9597 * qed_spec_mp, qed_goal_spec_mp, qed_goalw_spec_mp are available, as
  9598 in HOL, they strip ALL and --> from proved theorems;
  9599 
  9600 
  9601 
  9602 New in Isabelle94-8 (May 1997)
  9603 ------------------------------
  9604 
  9605 *** General Changes ***
  9606 
  9607 * new utilities to build / run / maintain Isabelle etc. (in parts
  9608 still somewhat experimental); old Makefiles etc. still functional;
  9609 
  9610 * new 'Isabelle System Manual';
  9611 
  9612 * INSTALL text, together with ./configure and ./build scripts;
  9613 
  9614 * reimplemented type inference for greater efficiency, better error
  9615 messages and clean internal interface;
  9616 
  9617 * prlim command for dealing with lots of subgoals (an easier way of
  9618 setting goals_limit);
  9619 
  9620 
  9621 *** Syntax ***
  9622 
  9623 * supports alternative (named) syntax tables (parser and pretty
  9624 printer); internal interface is provided by add_modesyntax(_i);
  9625 
  9626 * Pure, FOL, ZF, HOL, HOLCF now support symbolic input and output; to
  9627 be used in conjunction with the Isabelle symbol font; uses the
  9628 "symbols" syntax table;
  9629 
  9630 * added token_translation interface (may translate name tokens in
  9631 arbitrary ways, dependent on their type (free, bound, tfree, ...) and
  9632 the current print_mode); IMPORTANT: user print translation functions
  9633 are responsible for marking newly introduced bounds
  9634 (Syntax.mark_boundT);
  9635 
  9636 * token translations for modes "xterm" and "xterm_color" that display
  9637 names in bold, underline etc. or colors (which requires a color
  9638 version of xterm);
  9639 
  9640 * infixes may now be declared with names independent of their syntax;
  9641 
  9642 * added typed_print_translation (like print_translation, but may
  9643 access type of constant);
  9644 
  9645 
  9646 *** Classical Reasoner ***
  9647 
  9648 Blast_tac: a new tactic!  It is often more powerful than fast_tac, but has
  9649 some limitations.  Blast_tac...
  9650   + ignores addss, addbefore, addafter; this restriction is intrinsic
  9651   + ignores elimination rules that don't have the correct format
  9652         (the conclusion MUST be a formula variable)
  9653   + ignores types, which can make HOL proofs fail
  9654   + rules must not require higher-order unification, e.g. apply_type in ZF
  9655     [message "Function Var's argument not a bound variable" relates to this]
  9656   + its proof strategy is more general but can actually be slower
  9657 
  9658 * substitution with equality assumptions no longer permutes other
  9659 assumptions;
  9660 
  9661 * minor changes in semantics of addafter (now called addaltern); renamed
  9662 setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to compWrapper; added safe wrapper
  9663 (and access functions for it);
  9664 
  9665 * improved combination of classical reasoner and simplifier:
  9666   + functions for handling clasimpsets
  9667   + improvement of addss: now the simplifier is called _after_ the
  9668     safe steps.
  9669   + safe variant of addss called addSss: uses safe simplifications
  9670     _during_ the safe steps. It is more complete as it allows multiple
  9671     instantiations of unknowns (e.g. with slow_tac).
  9672 
  9673 *** Simplifier ***
  9674 
  9675 * added interface for simplification procedures (functions that
  9676 produce *proven* rewrite rules on the fly, depending on current
  9677 redex);
  9678 
  9679 * ordering on terms as parameter (used for ordered rewriting);
  9680 
  9681 * new functions delcongs, deleqcongs, and Delcongs. richer rep_ss;
  9682 
  9683 * the solver is now split into a safe and an unsafe part.
  9684 This should be invisible for the normal user, except that the
  9685 functions setsolver and addsolver have been renamed to setSolver and
  9686 addSolver; added safe_asm_full_simp_tac;
  9687 
  9688 
  9689 *** HOL ***
  9690 
  9691 * a generic induction tactic `induct_tac' which works for all datatypes and
  9692 also for type `nat';
  9693 
  9694 * a generic case distinction tactic `exhaust_tac' which works for all
  9695 datatypes and also for type `nat';
  9696 
  9697 * each datatype comes with a function `size';
  9698 
  9699 * patterns in case expressions allow tuple patterns as arguments to
  9700 constructors, for example `case x of [] => ... | (x,y,z)#ps => ...';
  9701 
  9702 * primrec now also works with type nat;
  9703 
  9704 * recdef: a new declaration form, allows general recursive functions to be
  9705 defined in theory files.  See HOL/ex/Fib, HOL/ex/Primes, HOL/Subst/Unify.
  9706 
  9707 * the constant for negation has been renamed from "not" to "Not" to
  9708 harmonize with FOL, ZF, LK, etc.;
  9709 
  9710 * HOL/ex/LFilter theory of a corecursive "filter" functional for
  9711 infinite lists;
  9712 
  9713 * HOL/Modelcheck demonstrates invocation of model checker oracle;
  9714 
  9715 * HOL/ex/Ring.thy declares cring_simp, which solves equational
  9716 problems in commutative rings, using axiomatic type classes for + and *;
  9717 
  9718 * more examples in HOL/MiniML and HOL/Auth;
  9719 
  9720 * more default rewrite rules for quantifiers, union/intersection;
  9721 
  9722 * a new constant `arbitrary == @x.False';
  9723 
  9724 * HOLCF/IOA replaces old HOL/IOA;
  9725 
  9726 * HOLCF changes: derived all rules and arities
  9727   + axiomatic type classes instead of classes
  9728   + typedef instead of faking type definitions
  9729   + eliminated the internal constants less_fun, less_cfun, UU_fun, UU_cfun etc.
  9730   + new axclasses cpo, chfin, flat with flat < chfin < pcpo < cpo < po
  9731   + eliminated the types void, one, tr
  9732   + use unit lift and bool lift (with translations) instead of one and tr
  9733   + eliminated blift from Lift3.thy (use Def instead of blift)
  9734   all eliminated rules are derived as theorems --> no visible changes ;
  9735 
  9736 
  9737 *** ZF ***
  9738 
  9739 * ZF now has Fast_tac, Simp_tac and Auto_tac.  Union_iff is a now a default
  9740 rewrite rule; this may affect some proofs.  eq_cs is gone but can be put back
  9741 as ZF_cs addSIs [equalityI];
  9742

  9744 
  9745 New in Isabelle94-7 (November 96)
  9746 ---------------------------------
  9747 
  9748 * allowing negative levels (as offsets) in prlev and choplev;
  9749 
  9750 * super-linear speedup for large simplifications;
  9751 
  9752 * FOL, ZF and HOL now use miniscoping: rewriting pushes
  9753 quantifications in as far as possible (COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS
  9754 FAIL); can suppress it using the command Delsimps (ex_simps @
  9755 all_simps); De Morgan laws are also now included, by default;
  9756 
  9757 * improved printing of ==>  :  ~:
  9758 
  9759 * new object-logic "Sequents" adds linear logic, while replacing LK
  9760 and Modal (thanks to Sara Kalvala);
  9761 
  9762 * HOL/Auth: correctness proofs for authentication protocols;
  9763 
  9764 * HOL: new auto_tac combines rewriting and classical reasoning (many
  9765 examples on HOL/Auth);
  9766 
  9767 * HOL: new command AddIffs for declaring theorems of the form P=Q to
  9768 the rewriter and classical reasoner simultaneously;
  9769 
  9770 * function uresult no longer returns theorems in "standard" format;
  9771 regain previous version by: val uresult = standard o uresult;
  9772 
  9773 
  9774 
  9775 New in Isabelle94-6
  9776 -------------------
  9777 
  9778 * oracles -- these establish an interface between Isabelle and trusted
  9779 external reasoners, which may deliver results as theorems;
  9780 
  9781 * proof objects (in particular record all uses of oracles);
  9782 
  9783 * Simp_tac, Fast_tac, etc. that refer to implicit simpset / claset;
  9784 
  9785 * "constdefs" section in theory files;
  9786 
  9787 * "primrec" section (HOL) no longer requires names;
  9788 
  9789 * internal type "tactic" now simply "thm -> thm Sequence.seq";
  9790 
  9791 
  9792 
  9793 New in Isabelle94-5
  9794 -------------------
  9795 
  9796 * reduced space requirements;
  9797 
  9798 * automatic HTML generation from theories;
  9799 
  9800 * theory files no longer require "..." (quotes) around most types;
  9801 
  9802 * new examples, including two proofs of the Church-Rosser theorem;
  9803 
  9804 * non-curried (1994) version of HOL is no longer distributed;
  9805 
  9806 
  9807 
  9808 New in Isabelle94-4
  9809 -------------------
  9810 
  9811 * greatly reduced space requirements;
  9812 
  9813 * theory files (.thy) no longer require \...\ escapes at line breaks;
  9814 
  9815 * searchable theorem database (see the section "Retrieving theorems" on
  9816 page 8 of the Reference Manual);
  9817 
  9818 * new examples, including Grabczewski's monumental case study of the
  9819 Axiom of Choice;
  9820 
  9821 * The previous version of HOL renamed to Old_HOL;
  9822 
  9823 * The new version of HOL (previously called CHOL) uses a curried syntax
  9824 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b);
  9825 
  9826 * Mutually recursive inductive definitions finally work in HOL;
  9827 
  9828 * In ZF, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions and
  9829 translates to the operator "split";
  9830 
  9831 
  9832 
  9833 New in Isabelle94-3
  9834 -------------------
  9835 
  9836 * new infix operator, addss, allowing the classical reasoner to
  9837 perform simplification at each step of its search.  Example:
  9838         fast_tac (cs addss ss)
  9839 
  9840 * a new logic, CHOL, the same as HOL, but with a curried syntax
  9841 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b).  Also pairs
  9842 look like (a,b) instead of <a,b>;
  9843 
  9844 * PLEASE NOTE: CHOL will eventually replace HOL!
  9845 
  9846 * In CHOL, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions.
  9847 It translates to the operator "split".  A new theory of integers is available;
  9848 
  9849 * In ZF, integer numerals now denote two's-complement binary integers.
  9850 Arithmetic operations can be performed by rewriting.  See ZF/ex/Bin.ML;
  9851 
  9852 * Many new examples: I/O automata, Church-Rosser theorem, equivalents
  9853 of the Axiom of Choice;
  9854 
  9855 
  9856 
  9857 New in Isabelle94-2
  9858 -------------------
  9859 
  9860 * Significantly faster resolution;
  9861 
  9862 * the different sections in a .thy file can now be mixed and repeated
  9863 freely;
  9864 
  9865 * Database of theorems for FOL, HOL and ZF.  New
  9866 commands including qed, qed_goal and bind_thm store theorems in the database.
  9867 
  9868 * Simple database queries: return a named theorem (get_thm) or all theorems of
  9869 a given theory (thms_of), or find out what theory a theorem was proved in
  9870 (theory_of_thm);
  9871 
  9872 * Bugs fixed in the inductive definition and datatype packages;
  9873 
  9874 * The classical reasoner provides deepen_tac and depth_tac, making FOL_dup_cs
  9875 and HOL_dup_cs obsolete;
  9876 
  9877 * Syntactic ambiguities caused by the new treatment of syntax in Isabelle94-1
  9878 have been removed;
  9879 
  9880 * Simpler definition of function space in ZF;
  9881 
  9882 * new results about cardinal and ordinal arithmetic in ZF;
  9883 
  9884 * 'subtype' facility in HOL for introducing new types as subsets of existing
  9885 types;
