     1 Isabelle NEWS -- history user-relevant changes
     2 ==============================================
     3 
     4 New in Isabelle2013-1 (November 2013)
     5 -------------------------------------
     6 
     7 *** General ***
     8 
     9 * Discontinued obsolete 'uses' within theory header.  Note that
    10 commands like 'ML_file' work without separate declaration of file
    11 dependencies.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    12 
    13 * Discontinued redundant 'use' command, which was superseded by
    14 'ML_file' in Isabelle2013.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    15 
    16 * Simplified subscripts within identifiers, using plain \<^sub>
    17 instead of the second copy \<^isub> and \<^isup>.  Superscripts are
    18 only for literal tokens within notation; explicit mixfix annotations
    19 for consts or fixed variables may be used as fall-back for unusual
    20 names.  Obsolete \<twosuperior> has been expanded to \<^sup>2 in
    21 Isabelle/HOL.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "isabelle update_sub_sup" to
    22 standardize symbols as a starting point for further manual cleanup.
    23 The ML reference variable "legacy_isub_isup" may be set as temporary
    24 workaround, to make the prover accept a subset of the old identifier
    25 syntax.
    26 
    27 * Document antiquotations: term style "isub" has been renamed to
    28 "sub".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    29 
    30 * Uniform management of "quick_and_dirty" as system option (see also
    31 "isabelle options"), configuration option within the context (see also
    32 Config.get in Isabelle/ML), and attribute in Isabelle/Isar.  Minor
    33 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use more official Isabelle means to access
    34 quick_and_dirty, instead of historical poking into mutable reference.
    35 
    36 * Renamed command 'print_configs' to 'print_options'.  Minor
    37 INCOMPATIBILITY.
    38 
    39 * Proper diagnostic command 'print_state'.  Old 'pr' (with its
    40 implicit change of some global references) is retained for now as
    41 control command, e.g. for ProofGeneral 3.7.x.
    42 
    43 * Discontinued 'print_drafts' command with its old-fashioned PS output
    44 and Unix command-line print spooling.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: use
    45 'display_drafts' instead and print via the regular document viewer.
    46 
    47 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual,
    48 eliminated old "ref" manual.
    49 
    50 
    51 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
    52 
    53 * New manual "jedit" for Isabelle/jEdit, see isabelle doc or
    54 Documentation panel.
    55 
    56 * Dockable window "Documentation" provides access to Isabelle
    57 documentation.
    58 
    59 * Dockable window "Find" provides query operations for formal entities
    60 (GUI front-end to 'find_theorems' command).
    61 
    62 * Dockable window "Sledgehammer" manages asynchronous / parallel
    63 sledgehammer runs over existing document sources, independently of
    64 normal editing and checking process.
    65 
    66 * Dockable window "Timing" provides an overview of relevant command
    67 timing information, depending on option jedit_timing_threshold.  The
    68 same timing information is shown in the extended tooltip of the
    69 command keyword, when hovering the mouse over it while the CONTROL or
    70 COMMAND modifier is pressed.
    71 
    72 * Improved dockable window "Theories": Continuous checking of proof
    73 document (visible and required parts) may be controlled explicitly,
    74 using check box or shortcut "C+e ENTER".  Individual theory nodes may
    75 be marked explicitly as required and checked in full, using check box
    76 or shortcut "C+e SPACE".
    77 
    78 * Improved completion mechanism, which is now managed by the
    79 Isabelle/jEdit plugin instead of SideKick.  Refined table of Isabelle
    80 symbol abbreviations (see $ISABELLE_HOME/etc/symbols).
    81 
    82 * Standard jEdit keyboard shortcut C+b complete-word is remapped to
    83 isabelle.complete for explicit completion in Isabelle sources.
    84 INCOMPATIBILITY wrt. jEdit defaults, may have to invent new shortcuts
    85 to resolve conflict.
    86 
    87 * Improved support of various "minor modes" for Isabelle NEWS,
    88 options, session ROOT etc., with completion and SideKick tree view.
    89 
    90 * Strictly monotonic document update, without premature cancellation of
    91 running transactions that are still needed: avoid reset/restart of
    92 such command executions while editing.
    93 
    94 * Support for asynchronous print functions, as overlay to existing
    95 document content.
    96 
    97 * Support for automatic tools in HOL, which try to prove or disprove
    98 toplevel theorem statements.
    99 
   100 * Action isabelle.reset-font-size resets main text area font size
   101 according to Isabelle/Scala plugin option "jedit_font_reset_size"
   102 (cf. keyboard shortcut C+0).
   103 
   104 * File specifications in jEdit (e.g. file browser) may refer to
   105 $ISABELLE_HOME and $ISABELLE_HOME_USER on all platforms.  Discontinued
   106 obsolete $ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS variable.
   107 
   108 * Improved support for Linux look-and-feel "GTK+", see also "Utilities
   109 / Global Options / Appearance".
   110 
   111 * Improved support of native Mac OS X functionality via "MacOSX"
   112 plugin, which is now enabled by default.
   113 
   114 
   115 *** Pure ***
   116 
   117 * Commands 'interpretation' and 'sublocale' are now target-sensitive.
   118 In particular, 'interpretation' allows for non-persistent
   119 interpretation within "context ... begin ... end" blocks offering a
   120 light-weight alternative to 'sublocale'.  See "isar-ref" manual for
   121 details.
   122 
   123 * Improved locales diagnostic command 'print_dependencies'.
   124 
   125 * Discontinued obsolete 'axioms' command, which has been marked as
   126 legacy since Isabelle2009-2.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use 'axiomatization'
   127 instead, while observing its uniform scope for polymorphism.
   128 
   129 * Discontinued empty name bindings in 'axiomatization'.
   130 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   131 
   132 * System option "proofs" has been discontinued.  Instead the global
   133 state of Proofterm.proofs is persistently compiled into logic images
   134 as required, notably HOL-Proofs.  Users no longer need to change
   135 Proofterm.proofs dynamically.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   136 
   137 * Syntax translation functions (print_translation etc.) always depend
   138 on Proof.context.  Discontinued former "(advanced)" option -- this is
   139 now the default.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   140 
   141 * Former global reference trace_unify_fail is now available as
   142 configuration option "unify_trace_failure" (global context only).
   143 
   144 * SELECT_GOAL now retains the syntactic context of the overall goal
   145 state (schematic variables etc.).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare
   146 situations.
   147 
   148 
   149 *** HOL ***
   150 
   151 * Stronger precedence of syntax for big intersection and union on
   152 sets, in accordance with corresponding lattice operations.
   153 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   154 
   155 * Notation "{p:A. P}" now allows tuple patterns as well.
   156 
   157 * Nested case expressions are now translated in a separate check phase
   158 rather than during parsing. The data for case combinators is separated
   159 from the datatype package. The declaration attribute
   160 "case_translation" can be used to register new case combinators:
   161 
   162   declare [[case_translation case_combinator constructor1 ... constructorN]]
   163 
   164 * Code generator:
   165   - 'code_printing' unifies 'code_const' / 'code_type' / 'code_class' /
   166     'code_instance'.
   167   - 'code_identifier' declares name hints for arbitrary identifiers in
   168     generated code, subsuming 'code_modulename'.
   169 
   170 See the isar-ref manual for syntax diagrams, and the HOL theories for
   171 examples.
   172 
   173 * Attibute 'code': 'code' now declares concrete and abstract code
   174 equations uniformly.  Use explicit 'code equation' and 'code abstract'
   175 to distinguish both when desired.
   176 
   177 * Discontinued theories Code_Integer and Efficient_Nat by a more
   178 fine-grain stack of theories Code_Target_Int, Code_Binary_Nat,
   179 Code_Target_Nat and Code_Target_Numeral.  See the tutorial on code
   180 generation for details.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   181 
   182 * Numeric types are mapped by default to target language numerals:
   183 natural (replaces former code_numeral) and integer (replaces former
   184 code_int).  Conversions are available as integer_of_natural /
   185 natural_of_integer / integer_of_nat / nat_of_integer (in HOL) and
   186 Code_Numeral.integer_of_natural / Code_Numeral.natural_of_integer (in
   187 ML).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   188 
   189 * Function package: For mutually recursive functions f and g, separate
   190 cases rules f.cases and g.cases are generated instead of unusable
   191 f_g.cases which exposed internal sum types. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
   192 in the case that the unusable rule was used nevertheless.
   193 
   194 * Function package: For each function f, new rules f.elims are
   195 generated, which eliminate equalities of the form "f x = t".
   196 
   197 * New command 'fun_cases' derives ad-hoc elimination rules for
   198 function equations as simplified instances of f.elims, analogous to
   199 inductive_cases.  See ~~/src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy for some examples.
   200 
   201 * Lifting:
   202   - parametrized correspondence relations are now supported:
   203     + parametricity theorems for the raw term can be specified in 
   204       the command lift_definition, which allow us to generate stronger
   205       transfer rules
   206     + setup_lifting generates stronger transfer rules if parametric
   207       correspondence relation can be generated
   208     + various new properties of the relator must be specified to support
   209       parametricity
   210     + parametricity theorem for the Quotient relation can be specified
   211   - setup_lifting generates domain rules for the Transfer package
   212   - stronger reflexivity prover of respectfulness theorems for type
   213     copies
   214   - ===> and --> are now local. The symbols can be introduced
   215     by interpreting the locale lifting_syntax (typically in an
   216     anonymous context)
   217   - Lifting/Transfer relevant parts of Library/Quotient_* are now in 
   218     Main. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
   219   - new commands for restoring and deleting Lifting/Transfer context:
   220     lifting_forget, lifting_update
   221   - the command print_quotmaps was renamed to print_quot_maps. 
   222     INCOMPATIBILITY
   223 
   224 * Transfer:
   225   - better support for domains in Transfer: replace Domainp T 
   226     by the actual invariant in a transferred goal
   227   - transfer rules can have as assumptions other transfer rules
   228   - Experimental support for transferring from the raw level to the
   229     abstract level: Transfer.transferred attribute
   230   - Attribute version of the transfer method: untransferred attribute
   231 
   232 * Reification and reflection:
   233   - Reification is now directly available in HOL-Main in structure
   234     "Reification".
   235   - Reflection now handles multiple lists with variables also.
   236   - The whole reflection stack has been decomposed into conversions.
   237 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   238 
   239 * Revised devices for recursive definitions over finite sets:
   240   - Only one fundamental fold combinator on finite set remains:
   241     Finite_Set.fold :: ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
   242     This is now identity on infinite sets.
   243   - Locales ("mini packages") for fundamental definitions with
   244     Finite_Set.fold: folding, folding_idem.
   245   - Locales comm_monoid_set, semilattice_order_set and
   246     semilattice_neutr_order_set for big operators on sets.
   247     See theory Big_Operators for canonical examples.
   248     Note that foundational constants comm_monoid_set.F and
   249     semilattice_set.F correspond to former combinators fold_image
   250     and fold1 respectively.  These are now gone.  You may use
   251     those foundational constants as substitutes, but it is
   252     preferable to interpret the above locales accordingly.
   253   - Dropped class ab_semigroup_idem_mult (special case of lattice,
   254     no longer needed in connection with Finite_Set.fold etc.)
   255   - Fact renames:
   256       card.union_inter ~> card_Un_Int [symmetric]
   257       card.union_disjoint ~> card_Un_disjoint
   258 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   259 
   260 * Locale hierarchy for abstract orderings and (semi)lattices.
   261 
   262 * Complete_Partial_Order.admissible is defined outside the type class
   263 ccpo, but with mandatory prefix ccpo. Admissibility theorems lose the
   264 class predicate assumption or sort constraint when possible.
   265 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   266 
   267 * Introduce type class "conditionally_complete_lattice": Like a
   268 complete lattice but does not assume the existence of the top and
   269 bottom elements.  Allows to generalize some lemmas about reals and
   270 extended reals.  Removed SupInf and replaced it by the instantiation
   271 of conditionally_complete_lattice for real. Renamed lemmas about
   272 conditionally-complete lattice from Sup_... to cSup_... and from
   273 Inf_...  to cInf_... to avoid hidding of similar complete lattice
   274 lemmas.
   275 
   276 * Introduce type class linear_continuum as combination of
   277 conditionally-complete lattices and inner dense linorders which have
   278 more than one element.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   279 
   280 * Introduced type classes order_top and order_bot. The old classes top
   281 and bot only contain the syntax without assumptions.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
   282 Rename bot -> order_bot, top -> order_top
   283 
   284 * Introduce type classes "no_top" and "no_bot" for orderings without
   285 top and bottom elements.
   286 
   287 * Split dense_linorder into inner_dense_order and no_top, no_bot.
   288 
   289 * Complex_Main: Unify and move various concepts from
   290 HOL-Multivariate_Analysis to HOL-Complex_Main.
   291 
   292  - Introduce type class (lin)order_topology and
   293    linear_continuum_topology.  Allows to generalize theorems about
   294    limits and order.  Instances are reals and extended reals.
   295 
   296  - continuous and continuos_on from Multivariate_Analysis:
   297    "continuous" is the continuity of a function at a filter.  "isCont"
   298    is now an abbrevitation: "isCont x f == continuous (at _) f".
   299 
   300    Generalized continuity lemmas from isCont to continuous on an
   301    arbitrary filter.
   302 
   303  - compact from Multivariate_Analysis. Use Bolzano's lemma to prove
   304    compactness of closed intervals on reals. Continuous functions
   305    attain infimum and supremum on compact sets. The inverse of a
   306    continuous function is continuous, when the function is continuous
   307    on a compact set.
   308 
   309  - connected from Multivariate_Analysis. Use it to prove the
   310    intermediate value theorem. Show connectedness of intervals on
   311    linear_continuum_topology).
   312 
   313  - first_countable_topology from Multivariate_Analysis. Is used to
   314    show equivalence of properties on the neighbourhood filter of x and
   315    on all sequences converging to x.
   316 
   317  - FDERIV: Definition of has_derivative moved to Deriv.thy. Moved
   318    theorems from Library/FDERIV.thy to Deriv.thy and base the
   319    definition of DERIV on FDERIV. Add variants of DERIV and FDERIV
   320    which are restricted to sets, i.e. to represent derivatives from
   321    left or right.
   322 
   323  - Removed the within-filter. It is replaced by the principal filter:
   324 
   325      F within X = inf F (principal X)
   326 
   327  - Introduce "at x within U" as a single constant, "at x" is now an
   328    abbreviation for "at x within UNIV"
   329 
   330  - Introduce named theorem collections tendsto_intros,
   331    continuous_intros, continuous_on_intros and FDERIV_intros. Theorems
   332    in tendsto_intros (or FDERIV_intros) are also available as
   333    tendsto_eq_intros (or FDERIV_eq_intros) where the right-hand side
   334    is replaced by a congruence rule. This allows to apply them as
   335    intro rules and then proving equivalence by the simplifier.
   336 
   337  - Restructured theories in HOL-Complex_Main:
   338 
   339    + Moved RealDef and RComplete into Real
   340 
   341    + Introduced Topological_Spaces and moved theorems about
   342      topological spaces, filters, limits and continuity to it
   343 
   344    + Renamed RealVector to Real_Vector_Spaces
   345 
   346    + Split Lim, SEQ, Series into Topological_Spaces,
   347      Real_Vector_Spaces, and Limits
   348 
   349    + Moved Ln and Log to Transcendental
   350 
   351    + Moved theorems about continuity from Deriv to Topological_Spaces
   352 
   353  - Remove various auxiliary lemmas.
   354 
   355 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   356 
   357 * Nitpick:
   358   - Added option "spy"
   359   - Reduce incidence of "too high arity" errors
   360 
   361 * Sledgehammer:
   362   - Renamed option:
   363       isar_shrink ~> isar_compress
   364     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   365   - Added options "isar_try0", "spy"
   366   - Better support for "isar_proofs"
   367   - MaSh has been fined-tuned and now runs as a local server
   368 
   369 * Improved support for ad hoc overloading of constants (see also
   370 isar-ref manual and ~~/src/HOL/ex/Adhoc_Overloading_Examples.thy).
   371 
   372 * Library/Polynomial.thy:
   373   - Use lifting for primitive definitions.
   374   - Explicit conversions from and to lists of coefficients, used for
   375     generated code.
   376   - Replaced recursion operator poly_rec by fold_coeffs.
   377   - Prefer pre-existing gcd operation for gcd.
   378   - Fact renames:
   379     poly_eq_iff ~> poly_eq_poly_eq_iff
   380     poly_ext ~> poly_eqI
   381     expand_poly_eq ~> poly_eq_iff
   382 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
   383 
   384 * New Library/Simps_Case_Conv.thy: Provides commands simps_of_case and
   385 case_of_simps to convert function definitions between a list of
   386 equations with patterns on the lhs and a single equation with case
   387 expressions on the rhs. See also Ex/Simps_Case_Conv_Examples.thy.
   388 
   389 * New Library/FSet.thy: type of finite sets defined as a subtype of
   390 sets defined by Lifting/Transfer.
   391 
   392 * Discontinued theory src/HOL/Library/Eval_Witness.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   393 
   394 * Consolidation of library theories on product orders:
   395 
   396     Product_Lattice ~> Product_Order -- pointwise order on products
   397     Product_ord ~> Product_Lexorder -- lexicographic order on products
   398 
   399 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   400 
   401 * Imperative-HOL: The MREC combinator is considered legacy and no
   402 longer included by default. INCOMPATIBILITY, use partial_function
   403 instead, or import theory Legacy_Mrec as a fallback.
   404 
   405 * HOL-Algebra: Discontinued theories ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/abstract and
   406 ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/poly.  Existing theories should be based on
   407 ~~/src/HOL/Library/Polynomial instead.  The latter provides
   408 integration with HOL's type classes for rings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   409 
   410 * HOL-BNF:
   411   - Various improvements to BNF-based (co)datatype package, including
   412     new commands "primrec_new", "primcorec", and
   413     "datatype_new_compat", as well as documentation. See
   414     "datatypes.pdf" for details.
   415   - New "coinduction" method to avoid some boilerplate (compared to
   416     coinduct).
   417   - Renamed keywords:
   418     data ~> datatype_new
   419     codata ~> codatatype
   420     bnf_def ~> bnf
   421   - Renamed many generated theorems, including
   422     discs ~> disc
   423     map_comp' ~> map_comp
   424     map_id' ~> map_id
   425     sels ~> sel
   426     set_map' ~> set_map
   427     sets ~> set
   428 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
   429 
   430 
   431 *** ML ***
   432 
   433 * Spec_Check is a Quickcheck tool for Isabelle/ML.  The ML function
   434 "check_property" allows to check specifications of the form "ALL x y
   435 z. prop x y z".  See also ~~/src/Tools/Spec_Check/ with its
   436 Examples.thy in particular.
   437 
   438 * Improved printing of exception trace in Poly/ML 5.5.1, with regular
   439 tracing output in the command transaction context instead of physical
   440 stdout.  See also Toplevel.debug, Toplevel.debugging and
   441 ML_Compiler.exn_trace.
   442 
   443 * ML type "theory" is now immutable, without any special treatment of
   444 drafts or linear updates (which could lead to "stale theory" errors in
   445 the past).  Discontinued obsolete operations like Theory.copy,
   446 Theory.checkpoint, and the auxiliary type theory_ref.  Minor
   447 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   448 
   449 * More uniform naming of goal functions for skipped proofs:
   450 
   451     Skip_Proof.prove  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry
   452     Skip_Proof.prove_global  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry_global
   453 
   454 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   455 
   456 * Simplifier tactics and tools use proper Proof.context instead of
   457 historic type simpset.  Old-style declarations like addsimps,
   458 addsimprocs etc. operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type simpset
   459 retains its use as snapshot of the main Simplifier context, using
   460 simpset_of and put_simpset on Proof.context.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- port
   461 old tools by making them depend on (ctxt : Proof.context) instead of
   462 (ss : simpset), then turn (simpset_of ctxt) into ctxt.
   463 
   464 * Modifiers for classical wrappers (e.g. addWrapper, delWrapper)
   465 operate on Proof.context instead of claset, for uniformity with addIs,
   466 addEs, addDs etc. Note that claset_of and put_claset allow to manage
   467 clasets separately from the context.
   468 
   469 * Discontinued obsolete ML antiquotations @{claset} and @{simpset}.
   470 INCOMPATIBILITY, use @{context} instead.
   471 
   472 * Antiquotation @{theory_context A} is similar to @{theory A}, but
   473 presents the result as initial Proof.context.
   474 
   475 
   476 *** System ***
   477 
   478 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle usedir, mkdir, make -- superseded by
   479 "isabelle build" in Isabelle2013.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   480 
   481 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle-process options -f and -u (former
   482 administrative aliases of option -e).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   483 
   484 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle print tool, and PRINT_COMMAND
   485 settings variable.
   486 
   487 * Discontinued ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT settings variable and historic
   488 document formats: dvi.gz, ps, ps.gz -- the default document format is
   489 always pdf.
   490 
   491 * Isabelle settings variable ISABELLE_BUILD_JAVA_OPTIONS allows to
   492 specify global resources of the JVM process run by isabelle build.
   493 
   494 * Toplevel executable $ISABELLE_HOME/bin/isabelle_scala_script allows
   495 to run Isabelle/Scala source files as standalone programs.
   496 
   497 * Improved "isabelle keywords" tool (for old-style ProofGeneral
   498 keyword tables): use Isabelle/Scala operations, which inspect outer
   499 syntax without requiring to build sessions first.
   500 
   501 * Sessions may be organized via 'chapter' specifications in the ROOT
   502 file, which determines a two-level hierarchy of browser info.  The old
   503 tree-like organization via implicit sub-session relation (with its
   504 tendency towards erratic fluctuation of URLs) has been discontinued.
   505 The default chapter is called "Unsorted".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
   506 for HTML presentation of theories.
   507 
   508 
   509 
   510 New in Isabelle2013 (February 2013)
   511 -----------------------------------
   512 
   513 *** General ***
   514 
   515 * Theorem status about oracles and unfinished/failed future proofs is
   516 no longer printed by default, since it is incompatible with
   517 incremental / parallel checking of the persistent document model.  ML
   518 function Thm.peek_status may be used to inspect a snapshot of the
   519 ongoing evaluation process.  Note that in batch mode --- notably
   520 isabelle build --- the system ensures that future proofs of all
   521 accessible theorems in the theory context are finished (as before).
   522 
   523 * Configuration option show_markup controls direct inlining of markup
   524 into the printed representation of formal entities --- notably type
   525 and sort constraints.  This enables Prover IDE users to retrieve that
   526 information via tooltips in the output window, for example.
   527 
   528 * Command 'ML_file' evaluates ML text from a file directly within the
   529 theory, without any predeclaration via 'uses' in the theory header.
   530 
   531 * Old command 'use' command and corresponding keyword 'uses' in the
   532 theory header are legacy features and will be discontinued soon.
   533 Tools that load their additional source files may imitate the
   534 'ML_file' implementation, such that the system can take care of
   535 dependencies properly.
   536 
   537 * Discontinued obsolete method fastsimp / tactic fast_simp_tac, which
   538 is called fastforce / fast_force_tac already since Isabelle2011-1.
   539 
   540 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual, reduced
   541 remaining material in old "ref" manual.
   542 
   543 * Improved support for auxiliary contexts that indicate block structure
   544 for specifications.  Nesting of "context fixes ... context assumes ..."
   545 and "class ... context ...".
   546 
   547 * Attribute "consumes" allows a negative value as well, which is
   548 interpreted relatively to the total number of premises of the rule in
   549 the target context.  This form of declaration is stable when exported
   550 from a nested 'context' with additional assumptions.  It is the
   551 preferred form for definitional packages, notably cases/rules produced
   552 in HOL/inductive and HOL/function.
   553 
   554 * More informative error messages for Isar proof commands involving
   555 lazy enumerations (method applications etc.).
   556 
   557 * Refined 'help' command to retrieve outer syntax commands according
   558 to name patterns (with clickable results).
   559 
   560 
   561 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
   562 
   563 * Parallel terminal proofs ('by') are enabled by default, likewise
   564 proofs that are built into packages like 'datatype', 'function'.  This
   565 allows to "run ahead" checking the theory specifications on the
   566 surface, while the prover is still crunching on internal
   567 justifications.  Unfinished / cancelled proofs are restarted as
   568 required to complete full proof checking eventually.
   569 
   570 * Improved output panel with tooltips, hyperlinks etc. based on the
   571 same Rich_Text_Area as regular Isabelle/jEdit buffers.  Activation of
   572 tooltips leads to some window that supports the same recursively,
   573 which can lead to stacks of tooltips as the semantic document content
   574 is explored.  ESCAPE closes the whole stack, individual windows may be
   575 closed separately, or detached to become independent jEdit dockables.
   576 
   577 * Improved support for commands that produce graph output: the text
   578 message contains a clickable area to open a new instance of the graph
   579 browser on demand.
   580 
   581 * More robust incremental parsing of outer syntax (partial comments,
   582 malformed symbols).  Changing the balance of open/close quotes and
   583 comment delimiters works more conveniently with unfinished situations
   584 that frequently occur in user interaction.
   585 
   586 * More efficient painting and improved reactivity when editing large
   587 files.  More scalable management of formal document content.
   588 
   589 * Smarter handling of tracing messages: prover process pauses after
   590 certain number of messages per command transaction, with some user
   591 dialog to stop or continue.  This avoids swamping the front-end with
   592 potentially infinite message streams.
   593 
   594 * More plugin options and preferences, based on Isabelle/Scala.  The
   595 jEdit plugin option panel provides access to some Isabelle/Scala
   596 options, including tuning parameters for editor reactivity and color
   597 schemes.
   598 
   599 * Dockable window "Symbols" provides some editing support for Isabelle
   600 symbols.
   601 
   602 * Dockable window "Monitor" shows ML runtime statistics.  Note that
   603 continuous display of the chart slows down the system.
   604 
   605 * Improved editing support for control styles: subscript, superscript,
   606 bold, reset of style -- operating on single symbols or text
   607 selections.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C+e DOWN/UP/RIGHT/LEFT.
   608 
   609 * Actions isabelle.increase-font-size and isabelle.decrease-font-size
   610 adjust the main text area font size, and its derivatives for output,
   611 tooltips etc.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C-PLUS and C-MINUS, which often
   612 need to be adapted to local keyboard layouts.
   613 
   614 * More reactive completion popup by default: use \t (TAB) instead of
   615 \n (NEWLINE) to minimize intrusion into regular flow of editing.  See
   616 also "Plugin Options / SideKick / General / Code Completion Options".
   617 
   618 * Implicit check and build dialog of the specified logic session
   619 image.  For example, HOL, HOLCF, HOL-Nominal can be produced on
   620 demand, without bundling big platform-dependent heap images in the
   621 Isabelle distribution.
   622 
   623 * Uniform Java 7 platform on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows: recent updates
   624 from Oracle provide better multi-platform experience.  This version is
   625 now bundled exclusively with Isabelle.
   626 
   627 
   628 *** Pure ***
   629 
   630 * Code generation for Haskell: restrict unqualified imports from
   631 Haskell Prelude to a small set of fundamental operations.
   632 
   633 * Command 'export_code': relative file names are interpreted
   634 relatively to master directory of current theory rather than the
   635 rather arbitrary current working directory.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   636 
   637 * Discontinued obsolete attribute "COMP".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
   638 use regular rule composition via "OF" / "THEN", or explicit proof
   639 structure instead.  Note that Isabelle/ML provides a variety of
   640 operators like COMP, INCR_COMP, COMP_INCR, which need to be applied
   641 with some care where this is really required.
   642 
   643 * Command 'typ' supports an additional variant with explicit sort
   644 constraint, to infer and check the most general type conforming to a
   645 given sort.  Example (in HOL):
   646 
   647   typ "_ * _ * bool * unit" :: finite
   648 
   649 * Command 'locale_deps' visualizes all locales and their relations as
   650 a Hasse diagram.
   651 
   652 
   653 *** HOL ***
   654 
   655 * Sledgehammer:
   656 
   657   - Added MaSh relevance filter based on machine-learning; see the
   658     Sledgehammer manual for details.
   659   - Polished Isar proofs generated with "isar_proofs" option.
   660   - Rationalized type encodings ("type_enc" option).
   661   - Renamed "kill_provers" subcommand to "kill_all".
   662   - Renamed options:
   663       isar_proof ~> isar_proofs
   664       isar_shrink_factor ~> isar_shrink
   665       max_relevant ~> max_facts
   666       relevance_thresholds ~> fact_thresholds
   667 
   668 * Quickcheck: added an optimisation for equality premises.  It is
   669 switched on by default, and can be switched off by setting the
   670 configuration quickcheck_optimise_equality to false.
   671 
   672 * Quotient: only one quotient can be defined by quotient_type
   673 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   674 
   675 * Lifting:
   676   - generation of an abstraction function equation in lift_definition
   677   - quot_del attribute
   678   - renamed no_abs_code -> no_code (INCOMPATIBILITY.)
   679 
   680 * Simproc "finite_Collect" rewrites set comprehensions into pointfree
   681 expressions.
   682 
   683 * Preprocessing of the code generator rewrites set comprehensions into
   684 pointfree expressions.
   685 
   686 * The SMT solver Z3 has now by default a restricted set of directly
   687 supported features. For the full set of features (div/mod, nonlinear
   688 arithmetic, datatypes/records) with potential proof reconstruction
   689 failures, enable the configuration option "z3_with_extensions".  Minor
   690 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   691 
   692 * Simplified 'typedef' specifications: historical options for implicit
   693 set definition and alternative name have been discontinued.  The
   694 former behavior of "typedef (open) t = A" is now the default, but
   695 written just "typedef t = A".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt theories
   696 accordingly.
   697 
   698 * Removed constant "chars"; prefer "Enum.enum" on type "char"
   699 directly.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   700 
   701 * Moved operation product, sublists and n_lists from theory Enum to
   702 List.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   703 
   704 * Theorem UN_o generalized to SUP_comp.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   705 
   706 * Class "comm_monoid_diff" formalises properties of bounded
   707 subtraction, with natural numbers and multisets as typical instances.
   708 
   709 * Added combinator "Option.these" with type "'a option set => 'a set".
   710 
   711 * Theory "Transitive_Closure": renamed lemmas
   712 
   713   reflcl_tranclp -> reflclp_tranclp
   714   rtranclp_reflcl -> rtranclp_reflclp
   715 
   716 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   717 
   718 * Theory "Rings": renamed lemmas (in class semiring)
   719 
   720   left_distrib ~> distrib_right
   721   right_distrib ~> distrib_left
   722 
   723 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   724 
   725 * Generalized the definition of limits:
   726 
   727   - Introduced the predicate filterlim (LIM x F. f x :> G) which
   728     expresses that when the input values x converge to F then the
   729     output f x converges to G.
   730 
   731   - Added filters for convergence to positive (at_top) and negative
   732     infinity (at_bot).
   733 
   734   - Moved infinity in the norm (at_infinity) from
   735     Multivariate_Analysis to Complex_Main.
   736 
   737   - Removed real_tendsto_inf, it is superseded by "LIM x F. f x :>
   738     at_top".
   739 
   740 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   741 
   742 * Theory "Library/Option_ord" provides instantiation of option type to
   743 lattice type classes.
   744 
   745 * Theory "Library/Multiset": renamed
   746 
   747     constant fold_mset ~> Multiset.fold
   748     fact fold_mset_commute ~> fold_mset_comm
   749 
   750 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   751 
   752 * Renamed theory Library/List_Prefix to Library/Sublist, with related
   753 changes as follows.
   754 
   755   - Renamed constants (and related lemmas)
   756 
   757       prefix ~> prefixeq
   758       strict_prefix ~> prefix
   759 
   760   - Replaced constant "postfix" by "suffixeq" with swapped argument
   761     order (i.e., "postfix xs ys" is now "suffixeq ys xs") and dropped
   762     old infix syntax "xs >>= ys"; use "suffixeq ys xs" instead.
   763     Renamed lemmas accordingly.
   764 
   765   - Added constant "list_hembeq" for homeomorphic embedding on
   766     lists. Added abbreviation "sublisteq" for special case
   767     "list_hembeq (op =)".
   768 
   769   - Theory Library/Sublist no longer provides "order" and "bot" type
   770     class instances for the prefix order (merely corresponding locale
   771     interpretations). The type class instances are now in theory
   772     Library/Prefix_Order.
   773 
   774   - The sublist relation of theory Library/Sublist_Order is now based
   775     on "Sublist.sublisteq".  Renamed lemmas accordingly:
   776 
   777       le_list_append_le_same_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append_le_same_iff
   778       le_list_append_mono ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_append_mono
   779       le_list_below_empty ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil, Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil2
   780       le_list_Cons_EX ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_ConsD
   781       le_list_drop_Cons2 ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2'
   782       le_list_drop_Cons_neq ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2_neq
   783       le_list_drop_Cons ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons'
   784       le_list_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_drop_many
   785       le_list_filter_left ~> Sublist.sublisteq_filter_left
   786       le_list_rev_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_rev_drop_many
   787       le_list_rev_take_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append
   788       le_list_same_length ~> Sublist.sublisteq_same_length
   789       le_list_take_many_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append'
   790       less_eq_list.drop ~> less_eq_list_drop
   791       less_eq_list.induct ~> less_eq_list_induct
   792       not_le_list_length ~> Sublist.not_sublisteq_length
   793 
   794 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   795 
   796 * New theory Library/Countable_Set.
   797 
   798 * Theory Library/Debug and Library/Parallel provide debugging and
   799 parallel execution for code generated towards Isabelle/ML.
   800 
   801 * Theory Library/FuncSet: Extended support for Pi and extensional and
   802 introduce the extensional dependent function space "PiE". Replaced
   803 extensional_funcset by an abbreviation, and renamed lemmas from
   804 extensional_funcset to PiE as follows:
   805 
   806   extensional_empty  ~>  PiE_empty
   807   extensional_funcset_empty_domain  ~>  PiE_empty_domain
   808   extensional_funcset_empty_range  ~>  PiE_empty_range
   809   extensional_funcset_arb  ~>  PiE_arb
   810   extensional_funcset_mem  ~>  PiE_mem
   811   extensional_funcset_extend_domainI  ~>  PiE_fun_upd
   812   extensional_funcset_restrict_domain  ~>  fun_upd_in_PiE
   813   extensional_funcset_extend_domain_eq  ~>  PiE_insert_eq
   814   card_extensional_funcset  ~>  card_PiE
   815   finite_extensional_funcset  ~>  finite_PiE
   816 
   817 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   818 
   819 * Theory Library/FinFun: theory of almost everywhere constant
   820 functions (supersedes the AFP entry "Code Generation for Functions as
   821 Data").
   822 
   823 * Theory Library/Phantom: generic phantom type to make a type
   824 parameter appear in a constant's type.  This alternative to adding
   825 TYPE('a) as another parameter avoids unnecessary closures in generated
   826 code.
   827 
   828 * Theory Library/RBT_Impl: efficient construction of red-black trees
   829 from sorted associative lists. Merging two trees with rbt_union may
   830 return a structurally different tree than before.  Potential
   831 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   832 
   833 * Theory Library/IArray: immutable arrays with code generation.
   834 
   835 * Theory Library/Finite_Lattice: theory of finite lattices.
   836 
   837 * HOL/Multivariate_Analysis: replaced
   838 
   839   "basis :: 'a::euclidean_space => nat => real"
   840   "\<Chi>\<Chi> :: (nat => real) => 'a::euclidean_space"
   841 
   842 on euclidean spaces by using the inner product "_ \<bullet> _" with
   843 vectors from the Basis set: "\<Chi>\<Chi> i. f i" is superseded by
   844 "SUM i : Basis. f i * r i".
   845 
   846   With this change the following constants are also changed or removed:
   847 
   848     DIM('a) :: nat  ~>  card (Basis :: 'a set)   (is an abbreviation)
   849     a $$ i  ~>  inner a i  (where i : Basis)
   850     cart_base i  removed
   851     \<pi>, \<pi>'  removed
   852 
   853   Theorems about these constants where removed.
   854 
   855   Renamed lemmas:
   856 
   857     component_le_norm  ~>  Basis_le_norm
   858     euclidean_eq  ~>  euclidean_eq_iff
   859     differential_zero_maxmin_component  ~>  differential_zero_maxmin_cart
   860     euclidean_simps  ~>  inner_simps
   861     independent_basis  ~>  independent_Basis
   862     span_basis  ~>  span_Basis
   863     in_span_basis  ~>  in_span_Basis
   864     norm_bound_component_le  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_le
   865     norm_bound_component_lt  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_lt
   866     component_le_infnorm  ~>  Basis_le_infnorm
   867 
   868 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   869 
   870 * HOL/Probability:
   871 
   872   - Added simproc "measurable" to automatically prove measurability.
   873 
   874   - Added induction rules for sigma sets with disjoint union
   875     (sigma_sets_induct_disjoint) and for Borel-measurable functions
   876     (borel_measurable_induct).
   877 
   878   - Added the Daniell-Kolmogorov theorem (the existence the limit of a
   879     projective family).
   880 
   881 * HOL/Cardinals: Theories of ordinals and cardinals (supersedes the
   882 AFP entry "Ordinals_and_Cardinals").
   883 
   884 * HOL/BNF: New (co)datatype package based on bounded natural functors
   885 with support for mixed, nested recursion and interesting non-free
   886 datatypes.
   887 
   888 * HOL/Finite_Set and Relation: added new set and relation operations
   889 expressed by Finite_Set.fold.
   890 
   891 * New theory HOL/Library/RBT_Set: implementation of sets by red-black
   892 trees for the code generator.
   893 
   894 * HOL/Library/RBT and HOL/Library/Mapping have been converted to
   895 Lifting/Transfer.
   896 possible INCOMPATIBILITY.
   897 
   898 * HOL/Set: renamed Set.project -> Set.filter
   899 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   900 
   901 
   902 *** Document preparation ***
   903 
   904 * Dropped legacy antiquotations "term_style" and "thm_style", since
   905 styles may be given as arguments to "term" and "thm" already.
   906 Discontinued legacy styles "prem1" .. "prem19".
   907 
   908 * Default LaTeX rendering for \<euro> is now based on eurosym package,
   909 instead of slightly exotic babel/greek.
   910 
   911 * Document variant NAME may use different LaTeX entry point
   912 document/root_NAME.tex if that file exists, instead of the common
   913 document/root.tex.
   914 
   915 * Simplified custom document/build script, instead of old-style
   916 document/IsaMakefile.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   917 
   918 
   919 *** ML ***
   920 
   921 * The default limit for maximum number of worker threads is now 8,
   922 instead of 4, in correspondence to capabilities of contemporary
   923 hardware and Poly/ML runtime system.
   924 
   925 * Type Seq.results and related operations support embedded error
   926 messages within lazy enumerations, and thus allow to provide
   927 informative errors in the absence of any usable results.
   928 
   929 * Renamed Position.str_of to Position.here to emphasize that this is a
   930 formal device to inline positions into message text, but not
   931 necessarily printing visible text.
   932 
   933 
   934 *** System ***
   935 
   936 * Advanced support for Isabelle sessions and build management, see
   937 "system" manual for the chapter of that name, especially the "isabelle
   938 build" tool and its examples.  The "isabelle mkroot" tool prepares
   939 session root directories for use with "isabelle build", similar to
   940 former "isabelle mkdir" for "isabelle usedir".  Note that this affects
   941 document preparation as well.  INCOMPATIBILITY, isabelle usedir /
   942 mkdir / make are rendered obsolete.
   943 
   944 * Discontinued obsolete Isabelle/build script, it is superseded by the
   945 regular isabelle build tool.  For example:
   946 
   947   isabelle build -s -b HOL
   948 
   949 * Discontinued obsolete "isabelle makeall".
   950 
   951 * Discontinued obsolete IsaMakefile and ROOT.ML files from the
   952 Isabelle distribution, except for rudimentary src/HOL/IsaMakefile that
   953 provides some traditional targets that invoke "isabelle build".  Note
   954 that this is inefficient!  Applications of Isabelle/HOL involving
   955 "isabelle make" should be upgraded to use "isabelle build" directly.
   956 
   957 * The "isabelle options" tool prints Isabelle system options, as
   958 required for "isabelle build", for example.
   959 
   960 * The "isabelle logo" tool produces EPS and PDF format simultaneously.
   961 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY in command-line options.
   962 
   963 * The "isabelle install" tool has now a simpler command-line.  Minor
   964 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   965 
   966 * The "isabelle components" tool helps to resolve add-on components
   967 that are not bundled, or referenced from a bare-bones repository
   968 version of Isabelle.
   969 
   970 * Settings variable ISABELLE_PLATFORM_FAMILY refers to the general
   971 platform family: "linux", "macos", "windows".
   972 
   973 * The ML system is configured as regular component, and no longer
   974 picked up from some surrounding directory.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
   975 for home-made settings.
   976 
   977 * Improved ML runtime statistics (heap, threads, future tasks etc.).
   978 
   979 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2.1, which was the last version
   980 without exception positions and advanced ML compiler/toplevel
   981 configuration.
   982 
   983 * Discontinued special treatment of Proof General -- no longer guess
   984 PROOFGENERAL_HOME based on accidental file-system layout.  Minor
   985 INCOMPATIBILITY: provide PROOFGENERAL_HOME and PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS
   986 settings manually, or use a Proof General version that has been
   987 bundled as Isabelle component.
   988 
   989 
   990 
   991 New in Isabelle2012 (May 2012)
   992 ------------------------------
   993 
   994 *** General ***
   995 
   996 * Prover IDE (PIDE) improvements:
   997 
   998   - more robust Sledgehammer integration (as before the sledgehammer
   999     command-line needs to be typed into the source buffer)
  1000   - markup for bound variables
  1001   - markup for types of term variables (displayed as tooltips)
  1002   - support for user-defined Isar commands within the running session
  1003   - improved support for Unicode outside original 16bit range
  1004     e.g. glyph for \<A> (thanks to jEdit 4.5.1)
  1005 
  1006 * Forward declaration of outer syntax keywords within the theory
  1007 header -- minor INCOMPATIBILITY for user-defined commands.  Allow new
  1008 commands to be used in the same theory where defined.
  1009 
  1010 * Auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for specifications with
  1011 additional parameters and assumptions.  Such unnamed contexts may be
  1012 nested within other targets, like 'theory', 'locale', 'class',
  1013 'instantiation' etc.  Results from the local context are generalized
  1014 accordingly and applied to the enclosing target context.  Example:
  1015 
  1016   context
  1017     fixes x y z :: 'a
  1018     assumes xy: "x = y" and yz: "y = z"
  1019   begin
  1020 
  1021   lemma my_trans: "x = z" using xy yz by simp
  1022 
  1023   end
  1024 
  1025   thm my_trans
  1026 
  1027 The most basic application is to factor-out context elements of
  1028 several fixes/assumes/shows theorem statements, e.g. see
  1029 ~~/src/HOL/Isar_Examples/Group_Context.thy
  1030 
  1031 Any other local theory specification element works within the "context
  1032 ... begin ... end" block as well.
  1033 
  1034 * Bundled declarations associate attributed fact expressions with a
  1035 given name in the context.  These may be later included in other
  1036 contexts.  This allows to manage context extensions casually, without
  1037 the logical dependencies of locales and locale interpretation.  See
  1038 commands 'bundle', 'include', 'including' etc. in the isar-ref manual.
  1039 
  1040 * Commands 'lemmas' and 'theorems' allow local variables using 'for'
  1041 declaration, and results are standardized before being stored.  Thus
  1042 old-style "standard" after instantiation or composition of facts
  1043 becomes obsolete.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, due to potential change of
  1044 indices of schematic variables.
  1045 
  1046 * Rule attributes in local theory declarations (e.g. locale or class)
  1047 are now statically evaluated: the resulting theorem is stored instead
  1048 of the original expression.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  1049 the historic accident of dynamic re-evaluation in interpretations
  1050 etc. was exploited.
  1051 
  1052 * New tutorial "Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL"
  1053 ("prog-prove").  It completely supersedes "A Tutorial Introduction to
  1054 Structured Isar Proofs" ("isar-overview"), which has been removed.  It
  1055 also supersedes "Isabelle/HOL, A Proof Assistant for Higher-Order
  1056 Logic" as the recommended beginners tutorial, but does not cover all
  1057 of the material of that old tutorial.
  1058 
  1059 * Updated and extended reference manuals: "isar-ref",
  1060 "implementation", "system"; reduced remaining material in old "ref"
  1061 manual.
  1062 
  1063 
  1064 *** Pure ***
  1065 
  1066 * Command 'definition' no longer exports the foundational "raw_def"
  1067 into the user context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, may use the regular
  1068 "def" result with attribute "abs_def" to imitate the old version.
  1069 
  1070 * Attribute "abs_def" turns an equation of the form "f x y == t" into
  1071 "f == %x y. t", which ensures that "simp" or "unfold" steps always
  1072 expand it.  This also works for object-logic equality.  (Formerly
  1073 undocumented feature.)
  1074 
  1075 * Sort constraints are now propagated in simultaneous statements, just
  1076 like type constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  1077 distinct sorts used to be assigned accidentally.  For example:
  1078 
  1079   lemma "P (x::'a::foo)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"  -- "now illegal"
  1080 
  1081   lemma "P (x::'a)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"
  1082     -- "now uniform 'a::bar instead of default sort for first occurrence (!)"
  1083 
  1084 * Rule composition via attribute "OF" (or ML functions OF/MRS) is more
  1085 tolerant against multiple unifiers, as long as the final result is
  1086 unique.  (As before, rules are composed in canonical right-to-left
  1087 order to accommodate newly introduced premises.)
  1088 
  1089 * Renamed some inner syntax categories:
  1090 
  1091     num ~> num_token
  1092     xnum ~> xnum_token
  1093     xstr ~> str_token
  1094 
  1095 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that in practice "num_const" or
  1096 "num_position" etc. are mainly used instead (which also include
  1097 position information via constraints).
  1098 
  1099 * Simplified configuration options for syntax ambiguity: see
  1100 "syntax_ambiguity_warning" and "syntax_ambiguity_limit" in isar-ref
  1101 manual.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1102 
  1103 * Discontinued configuration option "syntax_positions": atomic terms
  1104 in parse trees are always annotated by position constraints.
  1105 
  1106 * Old code generator for SML and its commands 'code_module',
  1107 'code_library', 'consts_code', 'types_code' have been discontinued.
  1108 Use commands of the generic code generator instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1109 
  1110 * Redundant attribute "code_inline" has been discontinued. Use
  1111 "code_unfold" instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1112 
  1113 * Dropped attribute "code_unfold_post" in favor of the its dual
  1114 "code_abbrev", which yields a common pattern in definitions like
  1115 
  1116   definition [code_abbrev]: "f = t"
  1117 
  1118 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1119 
  1120 * Obsolete 'types' command has been discontinued.  Use 'type_synonym'
  1121 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1122 
  1123 * Discontinued old "prems" fact, which used to refer to the accidental
  1124 collection of foundational premises in the context (already marked as
  1125 legacy since Isabelle2011).
  1126 
  1127 
  1128 *** HOL ***
  1129 
  1130 * Type 'a set is now a proper type constructor (just as before
  1131 Isabelle2008).  Definitions mem_def and Collect_def have disappeared.
  1132 Non-trivial INCOMPATIBILITY.  For developments keeping predicates and
  1133 sets separate, it is often sufficient to rephrase some set S that has
  1134 been accidentally used as predicates by "%x. x : S", and some
  1135 predicate P that has been accidentally used as set by "{x. P x}".
  1136 Corresponding proofs in a first step should be pruned from any
  1137 tinkering with former theorems mem_def and Collect_def as far as
  1138 possible.
  1139 
  1140 For developments which deliberately mix predicates and sets, a
  1141 planning step is necessary to determine what should become a predicate
  1142 and what a set.  It can be helpful to carry out that step in
  1143 Isabelle2011-1 before jumping right into the current release.
  1144 
  1145 * Code generation by default implements sets as container type rather
  1146 than predicates.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1147 
  1148 * New type synonym 'a rel = ('a * 'a) set
  1149 
  1150 * The representation of numerals has changed.  Datatype "num"
  1151 represents strictly positive binary numerals, along with functions
  1152 "numeral :: num => 'a" and "neg_numeral :: num => 'a" to represent
  1153 positive and negated numeric literals, respectively.  See also
  1154 definitions in ~~/src/HOL/Num.thy.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, some
  1155 user theories may require adaptations as follows:
  1156 
  1157   - Theorems with number_ring or number_semiring constraints: These
  1158     classes are gone; use comm_ring_1 or comm_semiring_1 instead.
  1159 
  1160   - Theories defining numeric types: Remove number, number_semiring,
  1161     and number_ring instances. Defer all theorems about numerals until
  1162     after classes one and semigroup_add have been instantiated.
  1163 
  1164   - Numeral-only simp rules: Replace each rule having a "number_of v"
  1165     pattern with two copies, one for numeral and one for neg_numeral.
  1166 
  1167   - Theorems about subclasses of semiring_1 or ring_1: These classes
  1168     automatically support numerals now, so more simp rules and
  1169     simprocs may now apply within the proof.
  1170 
  1171   - Definitions and theorems using old constructors Pls/Min/Bit0/Bit1:
  1172     Redefine using other integer operations.
  1173 
  1174 * Transfer: New package intended to generalize the existing
  1175 "descending" method and related theorem attributes from the Quotient
  1176 package.  (Not all functionality is implemented yet, but future
  1177 development will focus on Transfer as an eventual replacement for the
  1178 corresponding parts of the Quotient package.)
  1179 
  1180   - transfer_rule attribute: Maintains a collection of transfer rules,
  1181     which relate constants at two different types. Transfer rules may
  1182     relate different type instances of the same polymorphic constant,
  1183     or they may relate an operation on a raw type to a corresponding
  1184     operation on an abstract type (quotient or subtype). For example:
  1185 
  1186     ((A ===> B) ===> list_all2 A ===> list_all2 B) map map
  1187     (cr_int ===> cr_int ===> cr_int) (%(x,y) (u,v). (x+u, y+v)) plus_int
  1188 
  1189   - transfer method: Replaces a subgoal on abstract types with an
  1190     equivalent subgoal on the corresponding raw types. Constants are
  1191     replaced with corresponding ones according to the transfer rules.
  1192     Goals are generalized over all free variables by default; this is
  1193     necessary for variables whose types change, but can be overridden
  1194     for specific variables with e.g. "transfer fixing: x y z".  The
  1195     variant transfer' method allows replacing a subgoal with one that
  1196     is logically stronger (rather than equivalent).
  1197 
  1198   - relator_eq attribute: Collects identity laws for relators of
  1199     various type constructors, e.g. "list_all2 (op =) = (op =)".  The
  1200     transfer method uses these lemmas to infer transfer rules for
  1201     non-polymorphic constants on the fly.
  1202 
  1203   - transfer_prover method: Assists with proving a transfer rule for a
  1204     new constant, provided the constant is defined in terms of other
  1205     constants that already have transfer rules. It should be applied
  1206     after unfolding the constant definitions.
  1207 
  1208   - HOL/ex/Transfer_Int_Nat.thy: Example theory demonstrating transfer
  1209     from type nat to type int.
  1210 
  1211 * Lifting: New package intended to generalize the quotient_definition
  1212 facility of the Quotient package; designed to work with Transfer.
  1213 
  1214   - lift_definition command: Defines operations on an abstract type in
  1215     terms of a corresponding operation on a representation
  1216     type.  Example syntax:
  1217 
  1218     lift_definition dlist_insert :: "'a => 'a dlist => 'a dlist"
  1219       is List.insert
  1220 
  1221     Users must discharge a respectfulness proof obligation when each
  1222     constant is defined. (For a type copy, i.e. a typedef with UNIV,
  1223     the proof is discharged automatically.) The obligation is
  1224     presented in a user-friendly, readable form; a respectfulness
  1225     theorem in the standard format and a transfer rule are generated
  1226     by the package.
  1227 
  1228   - Integration with code_abstype: For typedefs (e.g. subtypes
  1229     corresponding to a datatype invariant, such as dlist),
  1230     lift_definition generates a code certificate theorem and sets up
  1231     code generation for each constant.
  1232 
  1233   - setup_lifting command: Sets up the Lifting package to work with a
  1234     user-defined type. The user must provide either a quotient theorem
  1235     or a type_definition theorem.  The package configures transfer
  1236     rules for equality and quantifiers on the type, and sets up the
  1237     lift_definition command to work with the type.
  1238 
  1239   - Usage examples: See Quotient_Examples/Lift_DList.thy,
  1240     Quotient_Examples/Lift_RBT.thy, Quotient_Examples/Lift_FSet.thy,
  1241     Word/Word.thy and Library/Float.thy.
  1242 
  1243 * Quotient package:
  1244 
  1245   - The 'quotient_type' command now supports a 'morphisms' option with
  1246     rep and abs functions, similar to typedef.
  1247 
  1248   - 'quotient_type' sets up new types to work with the Lifting and
  1249     Transfer packages, as with 'setup_lifting'.
  1250 
  1251   - The 'quotient_definition' command now requires the user to prove a
  1252     respectfulness property at the point where the constant is
  1253     defined, similar to lift_definition; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1254 
  1255   - Renamed predicate 'Quotient' to 'Quotient3', and renamed theorems
  1256     accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1257 
  1258 * New diagnostic command 'find_unused_assms' to find potentially
  1259 superfluous assumptions in theorems using Quickcheck.
  1260 
  1261 * Quickcheck:
  1262 
  1263   - Quickcheck returns variable assignments as counterexamples, which
  1264     allows to reveal the underspecification of functions under test.
  1265     For example, refuting "hd xs = x", it presents the variable
  1266     assignment xs = [] and x = a1 as a counterexample, assuming that
  1267     any property is false whenever "hd []" occurs in it.
  1268 
  1269     These counterexample are marked as potentially spurious, as
  1270     Quickcheck also returns "xs = []" as a counterexample to the
  1271     obvious theorem "hd xs = hd xs".
  1272 
  1273     After finding a potentially spurious counterexample, Quickcheck
  1274     continues searching for genuine ones.
  1275 
  1276     By default, Quickcheck shows potentially spurious and genuine
  1277     counterexamples. The option "genuine_only" sets quickcheck to only
  1278     show genuine counterexamples.
  1279 
  1280   - The command 'quickcheck_generator' creates random and exhaustive
  1281     value generators for a given type and operations.
  1282 
  1283     It generates values by using the operations as if they were
  1284     constructors of that type.
  1285 
  1286   - Support for multisets.
  1287 
  1288   - Added "use_subtype" options.
  1289 
  1290   - Added "quickcheck_locale" configuration to specify how to process
  1291     conjectures in a locale context.
  1292 
  1293 * Nitpick: Fixed infinite loop caused by the 'peephole_optim' option
  1294 and affecting 'rat' and 'real'.
  1295 
  1296 * Sledgehammer:
  1297   - Integrated more tightly with SPASS, as described in the ITP 2012
  1298     paper "More SPASS with Isabelle".
  1299   - Made it try "smt" as a fallback if "metis" fails or times out.
  1300   - Added support for the following provers: Alt-Ergo (via Why3 and
  1301     TFF1), iProver, iProver-Eq.
  1302   - Sped up the minimizer.
  1303   - Added "lam_trans", "uncurry_aliases", and "minimize" options.
  1304   - Renamed "slicing" ("no_slicing") option to "slice" ("dont_slice").
  1305   - Renamed "sound" option to "strict".
  1306 
  1307 * Metis: Added possibility to specify lambda translations scheme as a
  1308 parenthesized argument (e.g., "by (metis (lifting) ...)").
  1309 
  1310 * SMT: Renamed "smt_fixed" option to "smt_read_only_certificates".
  1311 
  1312 * Command 'try0': Renamed from 'try_methods'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1313 
  1314 * New "case_product" attribute to generate a case rule doing multiple
  1315 case distinctions at the same time.  E.g.
  1316 
  1317   list.exhaust [case_product nat.exhaust]
  1318 
  1319 produces a rule which can be used to perform case distinction on both
  1320 a list and a nat.
  1321 
  1322 * New "eventually_elim" method as a generalized variant of the
  1323 eventually_elim* rules.  Supports structured proofs.
  1324 
  1325 * Typedef with implicit set definition is considered legacy.  Use
  1326 "typedef (open)" form instead, which will eventually become the
  1327 default.
  1328 
  1329 * Record: code generation can be switched off manually with
  1330 
  1331   declare [[record_coden = false]]  -- "default true"
  1332 
  1333 * Datatype: type parameters allow explicit sort constraints.
  1334 
  1335 * Concrete syntax for case expressions includes constraints for source
  1336 positions, and thus produces Prover IDE markup for its bindings.
  1337 INCOMPATIBILITY for old-style syntax translations that augment the
  1338 pattern notation; e.g. see src/HOL/HOLCF/One.thy for translations of
  1339 one_case.
  1340 
  1341 * Clarified attribute "mono_set": pure declaration without modifying
  1342 the result of the fact expression.
  1343 
  1344 * More default pred/set conversions on a couple of relation operations
  1345 and predicates.  Added powers of predicate relations.  Consolidation
  1346 of some relation theorems:
  1347 
  1348   converse_def ~> converse_unfold

  1740 * New theory HOL/Library/DAList provides an abstract type for
  1741 association lists with distinct keys.
  1742 
  1743 * Session HOL/IMP: Added new theory of abstract interpretation of
  1744 annotated commands.
  1745 
  1746 * Session HOL-Import: Re-implementation from scratch is faster,
  1747 simpler, and more scalable.  Requires a proof bundle, which is
  1748 available as an external component.  Discontinued old (and mostly
  1749 dead) Importer for HOL4 and HOL Light.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1750 
  1751 * Session HOL-Word: Discontinued many redundant theorems specific to
  1752 type 'a word. INCOMPATIBILITY, use the corresponding generic theorems
  1753 instead.

  1797 * Session HOL-Word: New proof method "word_bitwise" for splitting
  1798 machine word equalities and inequalities into logical circuits,
  1799 defined in HOL/Word/WordBitwise.thy.  Supports addition, subtraction,
  1800 multiplication, shifting by constants, bitwise operators and numeric
  1801 constants.  Requires fixed-length word types, not 'a word.  Solves
  1802 many standard word identities outright and converts more into first
  1803 order problems amenable to blast or similar.  See also examples in
  1804 HOL/Word/Examples/WordExamples.thy.
  1805 
  1806 * Session HOL-Probability: Introduced the type "'a measure" to
  1807 represent measures, this replaces the records 'a algebra and 'a
  1808 measure_space.  The locales based on subset_class now have two
  1809 locale-parameters the space \<Omega> and the set of measurable sets M.
  1810 The product of probability spaces uses now the same constant as the
  1811 finite product of sigma-finite measure spaces "PiM :: ('i => 'a)
  1812 measure".  Most constants are defined now outside of locales and gain
  1813 an additional parameter, like null_sets, almost_eventually or \<mu>'.
  1814 Measure space constructions for distributions and densities now got
  1815 their own constants distr and density.  Instead of using locales to
  1816 describe measure spaces with a finite space, the measure count_space
  1817 and point_measure is introduced.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  1839 
  1840   Removed constants:

  1842   distribution -> use distr measure, or distributed predicate
  1843   image_space
  1844   joint_distribution -> use distr measure, or distributed predicate

  1979 * Session HOL-TPTP: support to parse and import TPTP problems (all
  1980 languages) into Isabelle/HOL.
  1981 
  1982 
  1983 *** FOL ***
  1984 
  1985 * New "case_product" attribute (see HOL).
  1986 
  1987 
  1988 *** ZF ***
  1989 
  1990 * Greater support for structured proofs involving induction or case
  1991 analysis.
  1992 
  1993 * Much greater use of mathematical symbols.
  1994 
  1995 * Removal of many ML theorem bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1996 
  1997 
  1998 *** ML ***
  1999 
  2000 * Antiquotation @{keyword "name"} produces a parser for outer syntax
  2001 from a minor keyword introduced via theory header declaration.
  2002 
  2003 * Antiquotation @{command_spec "name"} produces the
  2004 Outer_Syntax.command_spec from a major keyword introduced via theory
  2005 header declaration; it can be passed to Outer_Syntax.command etc.
  2006 
  2007 * Local_Theory.define no longer hard-wires default theorem name
  2008 "foo_def", but retains the binding as given.  If that is Binding.empty
  2009 / Attrib.empty_binding, the result is not registered as user-level
  2010 fact.  The Local_Theory.define_internal variant allows to specify a
  2011 non-empty name (used for the foundation in the background theory),
  2012 while omitting the fact binding in the user-context.  Potential
  2013 INCOMPATIBILITY for derived definitional packages: need to specify
  2014 naming policy for primitive definitions more explicitly.
  2015 
  2016 * Renamed Thm.capply to Thm.apply, and Thm.cabs to Thm.lambda in
  2017 conformance with similar operations in structure Term and Logic.
  2018 
  2019 * Antiquotation @{attributes [...]} embeds attribute source
  2020 representation into the ML text, which is particularly useful with
  2021 declarations like Local_Theory.note.
  2022 
  2023 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  2024 ProofContext has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2025 
  2026 * Refined Local_Theory.declaration {syntax, pervasive}, with subtle
  2027 change of semantics: update is applied to auxiliary local theory
  2028 context as well.
  2029 
  2030 * Modernized some old-style infix operations:
  2031 
  2032   addeqcongs    ~> Simplifier.add_eqcong
  2033   deleqcongs    ~> Simplifier.del_eqcong

  2044 
  2045 
  2046 *** System ***
  2047 
  2048 * USER_HOME settings variable points to cross-platform user home
  2049 directory, which coincides with HOME on POSIX systems only.  Likewise,
  2050 the Isabelle path specification "~" now expands to $USER_HOME, instead
  2051 of former $HOME.  A different default for USER_HOME may be set
  2052 explicitly in shell environment, before Isabelle settings are
  2053 evaluated.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: need to adapt Isabelle path where
  2054 the generic user home was intended.
  2055 
  2056 * ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS refers to ISABELLE_HOME in windows file name
  2057 notation, which is useful for the jEdit file browser, for example.
  2058 
  2059 * ISABELLE_JDK_HOME settings variable points to JDK with javac and jar
  2060 (not just JRE).

  2065 ------------------------------------
  2066 
  2067 *** General ***
  2068 
  2069 * Improved Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE (PIDE), which can be invoked as
  2070 "isabelle jedit" or "ISABELLE_HOME/Isabelle" on the command line.
  2071 
  2072   - Management of multiple theory files directly from the editor
  2073     buffer store -- bypassing the file-system (no requirement to save
  2074     files for checking).
  2075 
  2076   - Markup of formal entities within the text buffer, with semantic
  2077     highlighting, tooltips and hyperlinks to jump to defining source
  2078     positions.
  2079 
  2080   - Improved text rendering, with sub/superscripts in the source
  2081     buffer (including support for copy/paste wrt. output panel, HTML
  2082     theory output and other non-Isabelle text boxes).
  2083 
  2084   - Refined scheduling of proof checking and printing of results,
  2085     based on interactive editor view.  (Note: jEdit folding and
  2086     narrowing allows to restrict buffer perspectives explicitly.)
  2087 
  2088   - Reduced CPU performance requirements, usable on machines with few
  2089     cores.
  2090 
  2091   - Reduced memory requirements due to pruning of unused document
  2092     versions (garbage collection).
  2093 
  2094 See also ~~/src/Tools/jEdit/README.html for further information,
  2095 including some remaining limitations.
  2096 
  2097 * Theory loader: source files are exclusively located via the master
  2098 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  2099 The global load path (such as src/HOL/Library) has been discontinued.
  2100 Note that the path element ~~ may be used to reference theories in the
  2101 Isabelle home folder -- for instance, "~~/src/HOL/Library/FuncSet".
  2102 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2103 
  2104 * Theory loader: source files are identified by content via SHA1
  2105 digests.  Discontinued former path/modtime identification and optional
  2106 ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT plugin scripts.
  2107 
  2108 * Parallelization of nested Isar proofs is subject to
  2109 Goal.parallel_proofs_threshold (default 100).  See also isabelle
  2110 usedir option -Q.
  2111 
  2112 * Name space: former unsynchronized references are now proper
  2113 configuration options, with more conventional names:
  2114 
  2115   long_names   ~> names_long
  2116   short_names  ~> names_short
  2117   unique_names ~> names_unique
  2118 
  2119 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, need to declare options in context like this:
  2120 
  2121   declare [[names_unique = false]]
  2122 
  2123 * Literal facts `prop` may contain dummy patterns, e.g. `_ = _`.  Note
  2124 that the result needs to be unique, which means fact specifications
  2125 may have to be refined after enriching a proof context.
  2126 
  2127 * Attribute "case_names" has been refined: the assumptions in each case
  2128 can be named now by following the case name with [name1 name2 ...].
  2129 
  2130 * Isabelle/Isar reference manual has been updated and extended:
  2131   - "Synopsis" provides a catalog of main Isar language concepts.
  2132   - Formal references in syntax diagrams, via @{rail} antiquotation.
  2133   - Updated material from classic "ref" manual, notably about
  2134     "Classical Reasoner".
  2135 
  2136 
  2137 *** HOL ***
  2138 
  2139 * Class bot and top require underlying partial order rather than
  2140 preorder: uniqueness of bot and top is guaranteed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2141 
  2142 * Class complete_lattice: generalized a couple of lemmas from sets;
  2143 generalized theorems INF_cong and SUP_cong.  New type classes for
  2144 complete boolean algebras and complete linear orders.  Lemmas
  2145 Inf_less_iff, less_Sup_iff, INF_less_iff, less_SUP_iff now reside in
  2146 class complete_linorder.
  2147 
  2148 Changed proposition of lemmas Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, Inf_fun_def,
  2149 Sup_fun_def, Inf_apply, Sup_apply.
  2150 
  2151 Removed redundant lemmas (the right hand side gives hints how to
  2152 replace them for (metis ...), or (simp only: ...) proofs):
  2153 
  2154   Inf_singleton ~> Inf_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Inf_empty inf_top_right]
  2155   Sup_singleton ~> Sup_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Sup_empty sup_bot_right]
  2156   Inf_binary ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  2157   Sup_binary ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  2158   Int_eq_Inter ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  2159   Un_eq_Union ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  2160   Inter_def ~> INF_def, image_def
  2161   Union_def ~> SUP_def, image_def
  2162   INT_eq ~> INF_def, and image_def
  2163   UN_eq ~> SUP_def, and image_def
  2164   INF_subset ~> INF_superset_mono [OF _ order_refl]
  2165 
  2166 More consistent and comprehensive names:
  2167 
  2168   INTER_eq_Inter_image ~> INF_def
  2169   UNION_eq_Union_image ~> SUP_def
  2170   INFI_def ~> INF_def
  2171   SUPR_def ~> SUP_def
  2172   INF_leI ~> INF_lower
  2173   INF_leI2 ~> INF_lower2
  2174   le_INFI ~> INF_greatest
  2175   le_SUPI ~> SUP_upper
  2176   le_SUPI2 ~> SUP_upper2
  2177   SUP_leI ~> SUP_least
  2178   INFI_bool_eq ~> INF_bool_eq
  2179   SUPR_bool_eq ~> SUP_bool_eq
  2180   INFI_apply ~> INF_apply
  2181   SUPR_apply ~> SUP_apply
  2182   INTER_def ~> INTER_eq
  2183   UNION_def ~> UNION_eq
  2184 
  2185 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2186 
  2187 * Renamed theory Complete_Lattice to Complete_Lattices.
  2188 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2189 
  2190 * Theory Complete_Lattices: lemmas Inf_eq_top_iff, INF_eq_top_iff,
  2191 INF_image, Inf_insert, INF_top, Inf_top_conv, INF_top_conv, SUP_bot,
  2192 Sup_bot_conv, SUP_bot_conv, Sup_eq_top_iff, SUP_eq_top_iff, SUP_image,
  2193 Sup_insert are now declared as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2194 
  2195 * Theory Lattice: lemmas compl_inf_bot, compl_le_comp_iff,
  2196 compl_sup_top, inf_idem, inf_left_idem, inf_sup_absorb, sup_idem,
  2197 sup_inf_absob, sup_left_idem are now declared as [simp].  Minor
  2198 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2199 
  2200 * Added syntactic classes "inf" and "sup" for the respective
  2201 constants.  INCOMPATIBILITY: Changes in the argument order of the
  2202 (mostly internal) locale predicates for some derived classes.
  2203 
  2204 * Theorem collections ball_simps and bex_simps do not contain theorems
  2205 referring to UNION any longer; these have been moved to collection
  2206 UN_ball_bex_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2207 
  2208 * Theory Archimedean_Field: floor now is defined as parameter of a
  2209 separate type class floor_ceiling.
  2210 
  2211 * Theory Finite_Set: more coherent development of fold_set locales:
  2212 
  2213     locale fun_left_comm ~> locale comp_fun_commute
  2214     locale fun_left_comm_idem ~> locale comp_fun_idem
  2215 
  2216 Both use point-free characterization; interpretation proofs may need
  2217 adjustment.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2218 
  2219 * Theory Limits: Type "'a net" has been renamed to "'a filter", in
  2220 accordance with standard mathematical terminology. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2221 
  2222 * Theory Complex_Main: The locale interpretations for the
  2223 bounded_linear and bounded_bilinear locales have been removed, in
  2224 order to reduce the number of duplicate lemmas. Users must use the
  2225 original names for distributivity theorems, potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2320 
  2321 * Theory Complex_Main: The definition of infinite series was
  2322 generalized.  Now it is defined on the type class {topological_space,
  2323 comm_monoid_add}.  Hence it is useable also for extended real numbers.
  2324 
  2325 * Theory Complex_Main: The complex exponential function "expi" is now
  2326 a type-constrained abbreviation for "exp :: complex => complex"; thus
  2327 several polymorphic lemmas about "exp" are now applicable to "expi".
  2328 
  2329 * Code generation:
  2330 
  2331   - Theory Library/Code_Char_ord provides native ordering of
  2332     characters in the target language.
  2333 
  2334   - Commands code_module and code_library are legacy, use export_code
  2335     instead.
  2336 
  2337   - Method "evaluation" is legacy, use method "eval" instead.
  2338 
  2339   - Legacy evaluator "SML" is deactivated by default.  May be
  2340     reactivated by the following theory command:
  2341 
  2342       setup {* Value.add_evaluator ("SML", Codegen.eval_term) *}
  2343 
  2344 * Declare ext [intro] by default.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2345 
  2346 * New proof method "induction" that gives induction hypotheses the
  2347 name "IH", thus distinguishing them from further hypotheses that come
  2348 from rule induction.  The latter are still called "hyps".  Method
  2349 "induction" is a thin wrapper around "induct" and follows the same
  2350 syntax.
  2351 
  2352 * Method "fastsimp" has been renamed to "fastforce", but "fastsimp" is
  2353 still available as a legacy feature for some time.
  2354 
  2355 * Nitpick:
  2356   - Added "need" and "total_consts" options.
  2357   - Reintroduced "show_skolems" option by popular demand.
  2358   - Renamed attribute: nitpick_def ~> nitpick_unfold.
  2359     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2360 
  2361 * Sledgehammer:
  2362   - Use quasi-sound (and efficient) translations by default.
  2363   - Added support for the following provers: E-ToFoF, LEO-II,
  2364     Satallax, SNARK, Waldmeister, and Z3 with TPTP syntax.
  2365   - Automatically preplay and minimize proofs before showing them if
  2366     this can be done within reasonable time.
  2367   - sledgehammer available_provers ~> sledgehammer supported_provers.
  2368     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2369   - Added "preplay_timeout", "slicing", "type_enc", "sound",
  2370     "max_mono_iters", and "max_new_mono_instances" options.
  2371   - Removed "explicit_apply" and "full_types" options as well as "Full
  2372     Types" Proof General menu item. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2373 
  2374 * Metis:
  2375   - Removed "metisF" -- use "metis" instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2376   - Obsoleted "metisFT" -- use "metis (full_types)" instead.
  2377     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2378 
  2379 * Command 'try':
  2380   - Renamed 'try_methods' and added "simp:", "intro:", "dest:", and
  2381     "elim:" options. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2382   - Introduced 'try' that not only runs 'try_methods' but also
  2383     'solve_direct', 'sledgehammer', 'quickcheck', and 'nitpick'.
  2384 
  2385 * Quickcheck:
  2386   - Added "eval" option to evaluate terms for the found counterexample
  2387     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  2388   - Added post-processing of terms to obtain readable counterexamples
  2389     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  2390   - New counterexample generator quickcheck[narrowing] enables
  2391     narrowing-based testing.  Requires the Glasgow Haskell compiler
  2392     with its installation location defined in the Isabelle settings
  2393     environment as ISABELLE_GHC.
  2394   - Removed quickcheck tester "SML" based on the SML code generator
  2395     (formly in HOL/Library).
  2396 
  2397 * Function package: discontinued option "tailrec".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  2398 use 'partial_function' instead.
  2399 
  2400 * Theory Library/Extended_Reals replaces now the positive extended
  2401 reals found in probability theory. This file is extended by
  2402 Multivariate_Analysis/Extended_Real_Limits.
  2403 
  2404 * Theory Library/Old_Recdef: old 'recdef' package has been moved here,
  2405 from where it must be imported explicitly if it is really required.
  2406 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2407 
  2408 * Theory Library/Wfrec: well-founded recursion combinator "wfrec" has
  2409 been moved here.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2410 
  2411 * Theory Library/Saturated provides type of numbers with saturated
  2412 arithmetic.
  2413 
  2414 * Theory Library/Product_Lattice defines a pointwise ordering for the
  2415 product type 'a * 'b, and provides instance proofs for various order
  2416 and lattice type classes.
  2417 
  2418 * Theory Library/Countable now provides the "countable_datatype" proof
  2419 method for proving "countable" class instances for datatypes.
  2420 
  2421 * Theory Library/Cset_Monad allows do notation for computable sets
  2422 (cset) via the generic monad ad-hoc overloading facility.
  2423 
  2424 * Library: Theories of common data structures are split into theories
  2425 for implementation, an invariant-ensuring type, and connection to an
  2426 abstract type. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2427 
  2428   - RBT is split into RBT and RBT_Mapping.
  2429   - AssocList is split and renamed into AList and AList_Mapping.
  2430   - DList is split into DList_Impl, DList, and DList_Cset.
  2431   - Cset is split into Cset and List_Cset.
  2432 
  2433 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity has been renamed to
  2434 Library/Extended_Nat, with name changes of the following types and
  2435 constants:
  2436 
  2437   type inat   ~> type enat
  2438   Fin         ~> enat
  2439   Infty       ~> infinity (overloaded)
  2440   iSuc        ~> eSuc
  2441   the_Fin     ~> the_enat
  2442 
  2443 Every theorem name containing "inat", "Fin", "Infty", or "iSuc" has
  2444 been renamed accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2445 
  2446 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: The euclidean_space type class now
  2447 fixes a constant "Basis :: 'a set" consisting of the standard
  2448 orthonormal basis for the type. Users now have the option of
  2449 quantifying over this set instead of using the "basis" function, e.g.
  2450 "ALL x:Basis. P x" vs "ALL i<DIM('a). P (basis i)".
  2451 
  2452 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Type "('a, 'b) cart" has been renamed
  2453 to "('a, 'b) vec" (the syntax "'a ^ 'b" remains unaffected). Constants
  2454 "Cart_nth" and "Cart_lambda" have been respectively renamed to
  2455 "vec_nth" and "vec_lambda"; theorems mentioning those names have
  2456 changed to match. Definition theorems for overloaded constants now use
  2457 the standard "foo_vec_def" naming scheme. A few other theorems have
  2458 been renamed as follows (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  2459 
  2460   Cart_eq          ~> vec_eq_iff
  2461   dist_nth_le_cart ~> dist_vec_nth_le
  2462   tendsto_vector   ~> vec_tendstoI
  2463   Cauchy_vector    ~> vec_CauchyI
  2464 
  2465 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Several duplicate theorems have been
  2466 removed, and other theorems have been renamed or replaced with more
  2467 general versions. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2521 * Session HOL-Probability:
  2522   - Caratheodory's extension lemma is now proved for ring_of_sets.
  2523   - Infinite products of probability measures are now available.
  2524   - Sigma closure is independent, if the generator is independent
  2525   - Use extended reals instead of positive extended
  2526     reals. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2557 *** Document preparation ***
  2558 
  2559 * Antiquotation @{rail} layouts railroad syntax diagrams, see also
  2560 isar-ref manual, both for description and actual application of the
  2561 same.
  2562 
  2563 * Antiquotation @{value} evaluates the given term and presents its
  2564 result.
  2565 
  2566 * Antiquotations: term style "isub" provides ad-hoc conversion of
  2567 variables x1, y23 into subscripted form x\<^isub>1,
  2568 y\<^isub>2\<^isub>3.
  2569 
  2570 * Predefined LaTeX macros for Isabelle symbols \<bind> and \<then>
  2571 (e.g. see ~~/src/HOL/Library/Monad_Syntax.thy).
  2572 
  2573 * Localized \isabellestyle switch can be used within blocks or groups
  2574 like this:
  2575 
  2576   \isabellestyle{it}  %preferred default
  2577   {\isabellestylett @{text "typewriter stuff"}}
  2578 
  2579 * Discontinued special treatment of hard tabulators.  Implicit
  2580 tab-width is now defined as 1.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for visual
  2581 layouts.
  2582 
  2583 
  2584 *** ML ***
  2585 
  2586 * The inner syntax of sort/type/term/prop supports inlined YXML
  2587 representations within quoted string tokens.  By encoding logical
  2588 entities via Term_XML (in ML or Scala) concrete syntax can be
  2589 bypassed, which is particularly useful for producing bits of text
  2590 under external program control.
  2591 
  2592 * Antiquotations for ML and document preparation are managed as theory
  2593 data, which requires explicit setup.
  2594 
  2595 * Isabelle_Process.is_active allows tools to check if the official
  2596 process wrapper is running (Isabelle/Scala/jEdit) or the old TTY loop
  2597 (better known as Proof General).
  2598 
  2599 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  2600 ProofContext is still available for some time as legacy alias.
  2601 
  2602 * Structure Timing provides various operations for timing; supersedes
  2603 former start_timing/end_timing etc.
  2604 
  2605 * Path.print is the official way to show file-system paths to users
  2606 (including quotes etc.).
  2607 
  2608 * Inner syntax: identifiers in parse trees of generic categories
  2609 "logic", "aprop", "idt" etc. carry position information (disguised as
  2610 type constraints).  Occasional INCOMPATIBILITY with non-compliant
  2611 translations that choke on unexpected type constraints.  Positions can
  2612 be stripped in ML translations via Syntax.strip_positions /
  2613 Syntax.strip_positions_ast, or via the syntax constant
  2614 "_strip_positions" within parse trees.  As last resort, positions can
  2615 be disabled via the configuration option Syntax.positions, which is
  2616 called "syntax_positions" in Isar attribute syntax.
  2617 
  2618 * Discontinued special status of various ML structures that contribute
  2619 to structure Syntax (Ast, Lexicon, Mixfix, Parser, Printer etc.): less
  2620 pervasive content, no inclusion in structure Syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  2621 refer directly to Ast.Constant, Lexicon.is_identifier,
  2622 Syntax_Trans.mk_binder_tr etc.
  2623 
  2624 * Typed print translation: discontinued show_sorts argument, which is
  2625 already available via context of "advanced" translation.
  2626 
  2627 * Refined PARALLEL_GOALS tactical: degrades gracefully for schematic
  2628 goal states; body tactic needs to address all subgoals uniformly.
  2629 
  2630 * Slightly more special eq_list/eq_set, with shortcut involving
  2631 pointer equality (assumes that eq relation is reflexive).
  2632 
  2633 * Classical tactics use proper Proof.context instead of historic types
  2634 claset/clasimpset.  Old-style declarations like addIs, addEs, addDs
  2635 operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type claset retains its use as
  2636 snapshot of the classical context, which can be recovered via
  2637 (put_claset HOL_cs) etc.  Type clasimpset has been discontinued.
  2638 INCOMPATIBILITY, classical tactics and derived proof methods require
  2639 proper Proof.context.
  2640 
  2641 
  2642 *** System ***
  2643 
  2644 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2, which was the last version
  2645 without proper multithreading and TimeLimit implementation.
  2646 
  2647 * Discontinued old lib/scripts/polyml-platform, which has been
  2648 obsolete since Isabelle2009-2.
  2649 
  2650 * Various optional external tools are referenced more robustly and
  2651 uniformly by explicit Isabelle settings as follows:
  2652 
  2653   ISABELLE_CSDP   (formerly CSDP_EXE)
  2654   ISABELLE_GHC    (formerly EXEC_GHC or GHC_PATH)
  2655   ISABELLE_OCAML  (formerly EXEC_OCAML)
  2656   ISABELLE_SWIPL  (formerly EXEC_SWIPL)
  2657   ISABELLE_YAP    (formerly EXEC_YAP)
  2658 
  2659 Note that automated detection from the file-system or search path has
  2660 been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2661 
  2662 * Scala layer provides JVM method invocation service for static
  2663 methods of type (String)String, see Invoke_Scala.method in ML.  For
  2664 example:
  2665 
  2666   Invoke_Scala.method "java.lang.System.getProperty" "java.home"
  2667 
  2668 Together with YXML.string_of_body/parse_body and XML.Encode/Decode
  2669 this allows to pass structured values between ML and Scala.
  2670 
  2671 * The IsabelleText fonts includes some further glyphs to support the
  2672 Prover IDE.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: users who happen to have
  2673 installed a local copy (which is normally *not* required) need to
  2674 delete or update it from ~~/lib/fonts/.
  2675 
  2676 
  2677 
  2678 New in Isabelle2011 (January 2011)
  2679 ----------------------------------
  2680 
  2681 *** General ***
  2682 
  2683 * Experimental Prover IDE based on Isabelle/Scala and jEdit (see
  2684 src/Tools/jEdit).  This also serves as IDE for Isabelle/ML, with
  2685 useful tooltips and hyperlinks produced from its static analysis.  The
  2686 bundled component provides an executable Isabelle tool that can be run
  2687 like this:
  2688 
  2689   Isabelle2011/bin/isabelle jedit
  2690 
  2691 * Significantly improved Isabelle/Isar implementation manual.
  2692 
  2693 * System settings: ISABELLE_HOME_USER now includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER
  2694 (and thus refers to something like $HOME/.isabelle/Isabelle2011),
  2695 while the default heap location within that directory lacks that extra
  2696 suffix.  This isolates multiple Isabelle installations from each
  2697 other, avoiding problems with old settings in new versions.
  2698 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to copy/upgrade old user settings manually.
  2699 
  2700 * Source files are always encoded as UTF-8, instead of old-fashioned
  2701 ISO-Latin-1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Isabelle LaTeX documents might require
  2702 the following package declarations:
  2703 
  2704   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
  2705   \usepackage{textcomp}
  2706 
  2707 * Explicit treatment of UTF-8 sequences as Isabelle symbols, such that
  2708 a Unicode character is treated as a single symbol, not a sequence of
  2709 non-ASCII bytes as before.  Since Isabelle/ML string literals may
  2710 contain symbols without further backslash escapes, Unicode can now be
  2711 used here as well.  Recall that Symbol.explode in ML provides a
  2712 consistent view on symbols, while raw explode (or String.explode)
  2713 merely give a byte-oriented representation.
  2714 
  2715 * Theory loader: source files are primarily located via the master
  2716 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  2717 The global load path is still partially available as legacy feature.
  2718 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY due to subtle change in file lookup: use
  2719 explicit paths, relatively to the theory.
  2720 
  2721 * Special treatment of ML file names has been discontinued.
  2722 Historically, optional extensions .ML or .sml were added on demand --
  2723 at the cost of clarity of file dependencies.  Recall that Isabelle/ML
  2724 files exclusively use the .ML extension.  Minor INCOMPATIBILTY.
  2725 
  2726 * Various options that affect pretty printing etc. are now properly
  2727 handled within the context via configuration options, instead of
  2728 unsynchronized references or print modes.  There are both ML Config.T
  2729 entities and Isar declaration attributes to access these.
  2730 
  2731   ML (Config.T)                 Isar (attribute)

  2754   Thy_Output.break              thy_output_break
  2755 
  2756 Note that corresponding "..._default" references in ML may only be
  2757 changed globally at the ROOT session setup, but *not* within a theory.
  2758 The option "show_abbrevs" supersedes the former print mode
  2759 "no_abbrevs" with inverted meaning.
  2760 
  2761 * More systematic naming of some configuration options.
  2762 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2763 
  2764   trace_simp  ~>  simp_trace
  2765   debug_simp  ~>  simp_debug
  2766 
  2767 * Support for real valued configuration options, using simplistic
  2768 floating-point notation that coincides with the inner syntax for
  2769 float_token.
  2770 
  2771 * Support for real valued preferences (with approximative PGIP type):
  2772 front-ends need to accept "pgint" values in float notation.
  2773 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2774 
  2775 * The IsabelleText font now includes Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic from
  2776 DejaVu Sans.
  2777 
  2778 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.0 and 5.1 versions.
  2779 
  2780 
  2781 *** Pure ***
  2782 
  2783 * Command 'type_synonym' (with single argument) replaces somewhat
  2784 outdated 'types', which is still available as legacy feature for some
  2785 time.
  2786 
  2787 * Command 'nonterminal' (with 'and' separated list of arguments)
  2788 replaces somewhat outdated 'nonterminals'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2789 
  2790 * Command 'notepad' replaces former 'example_proof' for
  2791 experimentation in Isar without any result.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2792 
  2793 * Locale interpretation commands 'interpret' and 'sublocale' accept
  2794 lists of equations to map definitions in a locale to appropriate
  2795 entities in the context of the interpretation.  The 'interpretation'
  2796 command already provided this functionality.
  2797 
  2798 * Diagnostic command 'print_dependencies' prints the locale instances
  2799 that would be activated if the specified expression was interpreted in
  2800 the current context.  Variant "print_dependencies!" assumes a context
  2801 without interpretations.
  2802 
  2803 * Diagnostic command 'print_interps' prints interpretations in proofs
  2804 in addition to interpretations in theories.
  2805 
  2806 * Discontinued obsolete 'global' and 'local' commands to manipulate
  2807 the theory name space.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.  The ML functions
  2808 Sign.root_path and Sign.local_path may be applied directly where this
  2809 feature is still required for historical reasons.
  2810 
  2811 * Discontinued obsolete 'constdefs' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  2812 'definition' instead.
  2813 
  2814 * The "prems" fact, which refers to the accidental collection of
  2815 foundational premises in the context, is now explicitly marked as
  2816 legacy feature and will be discontinued soon.  Consider using "assms"
  2817 of the head statement or reference facts by explicit names.
  2818 
  2819 * Document antiquotations @{class} and @{type} print classes and type
  2820 constructors.
  2821 
  2822 * Document antiquotation @{file} checks file/directory entries within
  2823 the local file system.
  2824 
  2825 
  2826 *** HOL ***
  2827 
  2828 * Coercive subtyping: functions can be declared as coercions and type
  2829 inference will add them as necessary upon input of a term.  Theory
  2830 Complex_Main declares real :: nat => real and real :: int => real as
  2831 coercions. A coercion function f is declared like this:
  2832 
  2833   declare [[coercion f]]
  2834 
  2835 To lift coercions through type constructors (e.g. from nat => real to
  2836 nat list => real list), map functions can be declared, e.g.
  2837 
  2838   declare [[coercion_map map]]
  2839 
  2840 Currently coercion inference is activated only in theories including
  2841 real numbers, i.e. descendants of Complex_Main.  This is controlled by
  2842 the configuration option "coercion_enabled", e.g. it can be enabled in
  2843 other theories like this:
  2844 
  2845   declare [[coercion_enabled]]
  2846 
  2847 * Command 'partial_function' provides basic support for recursive
  2848 function definitions over complete partial orders.  Concrete instances
  2849 are provided for i) the option type, ii) tail recursion on arbitrary
  2850 types, and iii) the heap monad of Imperative_HOL.  See
  2851 src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy and src/HOL/Imperative_HOL/ex/Linked_Lists.thy
  2852 for examples.
  2853 
  2854 * Function package: f.psimps rules are no longer implicitly declared
  2855 as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2856 
  2857 * Datatype package: theorems generated for executable equality (class
  2858 "eq") carry proper names and are treated as default code equations.
  2859 
  2860 * Inductive package: now offers command 'inductive_simps' to
  2861 automatically derive instantiated and simplified equations for
  2862 inductive predicates, similar to 'inductive_cases'.
  2863 
  2864 * Command 'enriched_type' allows to register properties of the
  2865 functorial structure of types.
  2866 
  2867 * Improved infrastructure for term evaluation using code generator
  2868 techniques, in particular static evaluation conversions.
  2869 
  2870 * Code generator: Scala (2.8 or higher) has been added to the target
  2871 languages.
  2872 
  2873 * Code generator: globbing constant expressions "*" and "Theory.*"
  2874 have been replaced by the more idiomatic "_" and "Theory._".
  2875 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2876 
  2877 * Code generator: export_code without explicit file declaration prints
  2878 to standard output.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2879 
  2880 * Code generator: do not print function definitions for case
  2881 combinators any longer.
  2882 
  2883 * Code generator: simplification with rules determined with
  2884 src/Tools/Code/code_simp.ML and method "code_simp".
  2885 
  2886 * Code generator for records: more idiomatic representation of record
  2887 types.  Warning: records are not covered by ancient SML code
  2888 generation any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  In cases of need, a suitable
  2889 rep_datatype declaration helps to succeed then:
  2890 
  2891   record 'a foo = ...
  2892   ...
  2893   rep_datatype foo_ext ...
  2894 
  2895 * Records: logical foundation type for records does not carry a
  2896 '_type' suffix any longer (obsolete due to authentic syntax).
  2897 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2898 
  2899 * Quickcheck now by default uses exhaustive testing instead of random
  2900 testing.  Random testing can be invoked by "quickcheck [random]",
  2901 exhaustive testing by "quickcheck [exhaustive]".
  2902 
  2903 * Quickcheck instantiates polymorphic types with small finite
  2904 datatypes by default. This enables a simple execution mechanism to
  2905 handle quantifiers and function equality over the finite datatypes.
  2906 
  2907 * Quickcheck random generator has been renamed from "code" to
  2908 "random".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2909 
  2910 * Quickcheck now has a configurable time limit which is set to 30
  2911 seconds by default. This can be changed by adding [timeout = n] to the
  2912 quickcheck command. The time limit for Auto Quickcheck is still set
  2913 independently.
  2914 
  2915 * Quickcheck in locales considers interpretations of that locale for
  2916 counter example search.
  2917 
  2918 * Sledgehammer:
  2919   - Added "smt" and "remote_smt" provers based on the "smt" proof
  2920     method. See the Sledgehammer manual for details ("isabelle doc
  2921     sledgehammer").
  2922   - Renamed commands:
  2923     sledgehammer atp_info ~> sledgehammer running_provers
  2924     sledgehammer atp_kill ~> sledgehammer kill_provers
  2925     sledgehammer available_atps ~> sledgehammer available_provers
  2926     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2927   - Renamed options:
  2928     sledgehammer [atps = ...] ~> sledgehammer [provers = ...]
  2929     sledgehammer [atp = ...] ~> sledgehammer [prover = ...]
  2930     sledgehammer [timeout = 77 s] ~> sledgehammer [timeout = 77]
  2931     (and "ms" and "min" are no longer supported)
  2932     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2933 
  2934 * Nitpick:
  2935   - Renamed options:
  2936     nitpick [timeout = 77 s] ~> nitpick [timeout = 77]
  2937     nitpick [tac_timeout = 777 ms] ~> nitpick [tac_timeout = 0.777]
  2938     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2939   - Added support for partial quotient types.
  2940   - Added local versions of the "Nitpick.register_xxx" functions.
  2941   - Added "whack" option.
  2942   - Allow registration of quotient types as codatatypes.
  2943   - Improved "merge_type_vars" option to merge more types.
  2944   - Removed unsound "fast_descrs" option.
  2945   - Added custom symmetry breaking for datatypes, making it possible to reach
  2946     higher cardinalities.
  2947   - Prevent the expansion of too large definitions.
  2948 
  2949 * Proof methods "metis" and "meson" now have configuration options
  2950 "meson_trace", "metis_trace", and "metis_verbose" that can be enabled
  2951 to diagnose these tools. E.g.
  2952 
  2953     using [[metis_trace = true]]
  2954 
  2955 * Auto Solve: Renamed "Auto Solve Direct".  The tool is now available
  2956 manually as command 'solve_direct'.
  2957 
  2958 * The default SMT solver Z3 must be enabled explicitly (due to
  2959 licensing issues) by setting the environment variable
  2960 Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL in etc/settings of the component, for example.  For
  2961 commercial applications, the SMT solver CVC3 is provided as fall-back;
  2962 changing the SMT solver is done via the configuration option
  2963 "smt_solver".
  2964 
  2965 * Remote SMT solvers need to be referred to by the "remote_" prefix,
  2966 i.e. "remote_cvc3" and "remote_z3".
  2967 
  2968 * Added basic SMT support for datatypes, records, and typedefs using
  2969 the oracle mode (no proofs).  Direct support of pairs has been dropped
  2970 in exchange (pass theorems fst_conv snd_conv pair_collapse to the SMT
  2971 support for a similar behavior).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2972 
  2973 * Changed SMT configuration options:
  2974   - Renamed:
  2975     z3_proofs ~> smt_oracle (with inverted meaning)
  2976     z3_trace_assms ~> smt_trace_used_facts
  2977     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2978   - Added:
  2979     smt_verbose
  2980     smt_random_seed
  2981     smt_datatypes
  2982     smt_infer_triggers
  2983     smt_monomorph_limit
  2984     cvc3_options
  2985     remote_cvc3_options
  2986     remote_z3_options
  2987     yices_options
  2988 
  2989 * Boogie output files (.b2i files) need to be declared in the theory
  2990 header.
  2991 
  2992 * Simplification procedure "list_to_set_comprehension" rewrites list
  2993 comprehensions applied to List.set to set comprehensions.  Occasional
  2994 INCOMPATIBILITY, may be deactivated like this:
  2995 
  2996   declare [[simproc del: list_to_set_comprehension]]
  2997 
  2998 * Removed old version of primrec package.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2999 
  3000 * Removed simplifier congruence rule of "prod_case", as has for long
  3001 been the case with "split".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3002 
  3003 * String.literal is a type, but not a datatype.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3004 
  3005 * Removed [split_format ... and ... and ...] version of
  3006 [split_format].  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3007 
  3008 * Predicate "sorted" now defined inductively, with nice induction
  3009 rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY: former sorted.simps now named sorted_simps.
  3010 
  3011 * Constant "contents" renamed to "the_elem", to free the generic name
  3012 contents for other uses.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3013 
  3014 * Renamed class eq and constant eq (for code generation) to class
  3015 equal and constant equal, plus renaming of related facts and various
  3016 tuning.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3017 
  3018 * Dropped type classes mult_mono and mult_mono1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3019 
  3020 * Removed output syntax "'a ~=> 'b" for "'a => 'b option".
  3021 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3022 
  3023 * Renamed theory Fset to Cset, type Fset.fset to Cset.set, in order to
  3024 avoid confusion with finite sets.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3025 
  3026 * Abandoned locales equiv, congruent and congruent2 for equivalence
  3027 relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use equivI rather than equiv_intro (same
  3028 for congruent(2)).
  3029 
  3030 * Some previously unqualified names have been qualified:
  3031 
  3032   types
  3033     bool ~> HOL.bool
  3034     nat ~> Nat.nat
  3035 
  3036   constants

  3057     curry ~> Product_Type.curry
  3058     op : ~> Set.member
  3059     Collect ~> Set.Collect
  3060 
  3061 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3062 
  3063 * More canonical naming convention for some fundamental definitions:
  3064 
  3065     bot_bool_eq ~> bot_bool_def
  3066     top_bool_eq ~> top_bool_def
  3067     inf_bool_eq ~> inf_bool_def
  3068     sup_bool_eq ~> sup_bool_def
  3069     bot_fun_eq  ~> bot_fun_def
  3070     top_fun_eq  ~> top_fun_def
  3071     inf_fun_eq  ~> inf_fun_def
  3072     sup_fun_eq  ~> sup_fun_def
  3073 
  3074 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3075 
  3076 * More stylized fact names:
  3077 
  3078   expand_fun_eq ~> fun_eq_iff
  3079   expand_set_eq ~> set_eq_iff
  3080   set_ext       ~> set_eqI
  3081   nat_number    ~> eval_nat_numeral
  3082 
  3083 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3084 
  3085 * Refactoring of code-generation specific operations in theory List:
  3086 
  3087   constants
  3088     null ~> List.null
  3089 
  3090   facts
  3091     mem_iff ~> member_def
  3092     null_empty ~> null_def
  3093 
  3094 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that these were not supposed to be used
  3095 regularly unless for striking reasons; their main purpose was code
  3096 generation.
  3097 
  3098 Various operations from the Haskell prelude are used for generating
  3099 Haskell code.
  3100 
  3101 * Term "bij f" is now an abbreviation of "bij_betw f UNIV UNIV".  Term
  3102 "surj f" is now an abbreviation of "range f = UNIV".  The theorems
  3103 bij_def and surj_def are unchanged.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3104 
  3105 * Abolished some non-alphabetic type names: "prod" and "sum" replace
  3106 "*" and "+" respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3107 
  3108 * Name "Plus" of disjoint sum operator "<+>" is now hidden.  Write
  3109 "Sum_Type.Plus" instead.
  3110 
  3111 * Constant "split" has been merged with constant "prod_case"; names of
  3112 ML functions, facts etc. involving split have been retained so far,
  3113 though.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3114 
  3115 * Dropped old infix syntax "_ mem _" for List.member; use "_ : set _"
  3116 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3117 
  3118 * Removed lemma "Option.is_none_none" which duplicates "is_none_def".
  3119 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3120 
  3121 * Former theory Library/Enum is now part of the HOL-Main image.
  3122 INCOMPATIBILITY: all constants of the Enum theory now have to be
  3123 referred to by its qualified name.
  3124 
  3125   enum    ~>  Enum.enum
  3126   nlists  ~>  Enum.nlists
  3127   product ~>  Enum.product
  3128 
  3129 * Theory Library/Monad_Syntax provides do-syntax for monad types.
  3130 Syntax in Library/State_Monad has been changed to avoid ambiguities.
  3131 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3132 
  3133 * Theory Library/SetsAndFunctions has been split into
  3134 Library/Function_Algebras and Library/Set_Algebras; canonical names
  3135 for instance definitions for functions; various improvements.
  3136 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3137 
  3138 * Theory Library/Multiset provides stable quicksort implementation of
  3139 sort_key.
  3140 
  3141 * Theory Library/Multiset: renamed empty_idemp ~> empty_neutral.
  3142 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3143 
  3144 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: introduced a type class for euclidean
  3145 space.  Most theorems are now stated in terms of euclidean spaces
  3146 instead of finite cartesian products.
  3147 
  3148   types
  3149     real ^ 'n ~>  'a::real_vector
  3150               ~>  'a::euclidean_space
  3151               ~>  'a::ordered_euclidean_space
  3152         (depends on your needs)
  3153 
  3154   constants
  3155      _ $ _        ~> _ $$ _
  3156      \<chi> x. _  ~> \<chi>\<chi> x. _
  3157      CARD('n)     ~> DIM('a)
  3158 
  3159 Also note that the indices are now natural numbers and not from some
  3160 finite type. Finite cartesian products of euclidean spaces, products
  3161 of euclidean spaces the real and complex numbers are instantiated to
  3162 be euclidean_spaces.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3163 
  3164 * Session Probability: introduced pextreal as positive extended real
  3165 numbers.  Use pextreal as value for measures.  Introduce the
  3166 Radon-Nikodym derivative, product spaces and Fubini's theorem for
  3167 arbitrary sigma finite measures.  Introduces Lebesgue measure based on
  3168 the integral in Multivariate Analysis.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3169 
  3170 * Session Imperative_HOL: revamped, corrected dozens of inadequacies.
  3171 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3172 
  3173 * Session SPARK (with image HOL-SPARK) provides commands to load and
  3174 prove verification conditions generated by the SPARK Ada program
  3175 verifier.  See also src/HOL/SPARK and src/HOL/SPARK/Examples.
  3176 
  3177 
  3178 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  3179 
  3180 * Theorems for additive ring operations (locale abelian_monoid and
  3181 descendants) are generated by interpretation from their multiplicative
  3182 counterparts.  Names (in particular theorem names) have the mandatory
  3183 qualifier 'add'.  Previous theorem names are redeclared for
  3184 compatibility.
  3185 
  3186 * Structure "int_ring" is now an abbreviation (previously a
  3187 definition).  This fits more natural with advanced interpretations.
  3188 
  3189 
  3190 *** HOLCF ***
  3191 
  3192 * The domain package now runs in definitional mode by default: The
  3193 former command 'new_domain' is now called 'domain'.  To use the domain
  3194 package in its original axiomatic mode, use 'domain (unsafe)'.
  3195 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3196 
  3197 * The new class "domain" is now the default sort.  Class "predomain"
  3198 is an unpointed version of "domain". Theories can be updated by
  3199 replacing sort annotations as shown below.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3200 
  3201   'a::type ~> 'a::countable
  3202   'a::cpo  ~> 'a::predomain
  3203   'a::pcpo ~> 'a::domain
  3204 
  3205 * The old type class "rep" has been superseded by class "domain".
  3206 Accordingly, users of the definitional package must remove any
  3207 "default_sort rep" declarations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3208 
  3209 * The domain package (definitional mode) now supports unpointed
  3210 predomain argument types, as long as they are marked 'lazy'. (Strict
  3211 arguments must be in class "domain".) For example, the following
  3212 domain definition now works:
  3213 
  3214   domain natlist = nil | cons (lazy "nat discr") (lazy "natlist")
  3215 
  3216 * Theory HOLCF/Library/HOL_Cpo provides cpo and predomain class
  3217 instances for types from main HOL: bool, nat, int, char, 'a + 'b,
  3218 'a option, and 'a list.  Additionally, it configures fixrec and the
  3219 domain package to work with these types.  For example:
  3220 
  3221   fixrec isInl :: "('a + 'b) u -> tr"
  3222     where "isInl$(up$(Inl x)) = TT" | "isInl$(up$(Inr y)) = FF"
  3223 
  3224   domain V = VFun (lazy "V -> V") | VCon (lazy "nat") (lazy "V list")
  3225 
  3226 * The "(permissive)" option of fixrec has been replaced with a
  3227 per-equation "(unchecked)" option. See
  3228 src/HOL/HOLCF/Tutorial/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3229 
  3230 * The "bifinite" class no longer fixes a constant "approx"; the class
  3231 now just asserts that such a function exists.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3232 
  3233 * Former type "alg_defl" has been renamed to "defl".  HOLCF no longer
  3234 defines an embedding of type 'a defl into udom by default; instances
  3235 of "bifinite" and "domain" classes are available in
  3236 src/HOL/HOLCF/Library/Defl_Bifinite.thy.
  3237 
  3238 * The syntax "REP('a)" has been replaced with "DEFL('a)".
  3239 
  3240 * The predicate "directed" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3241 
  3242 * The type class "finite_po" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3243 
  3244 * The function "cprod_map" has been renamed to "prod_map".
  3245 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3246 
  3247 * The monadic bind operator on each powerdomain has new binder syntax
  3248 similar to sets, e.g. "\<Union>\<sharp>x\<in>xs. t" represents
  3249 "upper_bind\<cdot>xs\<cdot>(\<Lambda> x. t)".
  3250 
  3251 * The infix syntax for binary union on each powerdomain has changed
  3252 from e.g. "+\<sharp>" to "\<union>\<sharp>", for consistency with set
  3253 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3254 
  3255 * The constant "UU" has been renamed to "bottom".  The syntax "UU" is
  3256 still supported as an input translation.
  3257 
  3258 * Renamed some theorems (the original names are also still available).
  3259 
  3260   expand_fun_below   ~> fun_below_iff
  3261   below_fun_ext      ~> fun_belowI
  3262   expand_cfun_eq     ~> cfun_eq_iff
  3263   ext_cfun           ~> cfun_eqI
  3264   expand_cfun_below  ~> cfun_below_iff
  3265   below_cfun_ext     ~> cfun_belowI
  3266   cont2cont_Rep_CFun ~> cont2cont_APP
  3267 
  3268 * The Abs and Rep functions for various types have changed names.
  3269 Related theorem names have also changed to match. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3270 
  3271   Rep_CFun  ~> Rep_cfun
  3272   Abs_CFun  ~> Abs_cfun
  3273   Rep_Sprod ~> Rep_sprod
  3274   Abs_Sprod ~> Abs_sprod
  3275   Rep_Ssum  ~> Rep_ssum
  3276   Abs_Ssum  ~> Abs_ssum
  3277 
  3278 * Lemmas with names of the form *_defined_iff or *_strict_iff have
  3279 been renamed to *_bottom_iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3280 
  3281 * Various changes to bisimulation/coinduction with domain package:
  3282 
  3283   - Definitions of "bisim" constants no longer mention definedness.
  3284   - With mutual recursion, "bisim" predicate is now curried.
  3285   - With mutual recursion, each type gets a separate coind theorem.
  3286   - Variable names in bisim_def and coinduct rules have changed.
  3287 
  3288 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3289 
  3290 * Case combinators generated by the domain package for type "foo" are
  3291 now named "foo_case" instead of "foo_when".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3292 
  3293 * Several theorems have been renamed to more accurately reflect the
  3294 names of constants and types involved.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3365 
  3366 *** FOL and ZF ***
  3367 
  3368 * All constant names are now qualified internally and use proper
  3369 identifiers, e.g. "IFOL.eq" instead of "op =".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3370 
  3371 
  3372 *** ML ***
  3373 
  3374 * Antiquotation @{assert} inlines a function bool -> unit that raises
  3375 Fail if the argument is false.  Due to inlining the source position of
  3376 failed assertions is included in the error output.
  3377 
  3378 * Discontinued antiquotation @{theory_ref}, which is obsolete since ML
  3379 text is in practice always evaluated with a stable theory checkpoint.
  3380 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use (Theory.check_thy @{theory}) instead.
  3381 
  3382 * Antiquotation @{theory A} refers to theory A from the ancestry of
  3383 the current context, not any accidental theory loader state as before.
  3384 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, subtle change in semantics.
  3385 
  3386 * Syntax.pretty_priority (default 0) configures the required priority
  3387 of pretty-printed output and thus affects insertion of parentheses.
  3388 
  3389 * Syntax.default_root (default "any") configures the inner syntax
  3390 category (nonterminal symbol) for parsing of terms.
  3391 
  3392 * Former exception Library.UnequalLengths now coincides with
  3393 ListPair.UnequalLengths.
  3394 
  3395 * Renamed structure MetaSimplifier to Raw_Simplifier.  Note that the
  3396 main functionality is provided by structure Simplifier.
  3397 
  3398 * Renamed raw "explode" function to "raw_explode" to emphasize its
  3399 meaning.  Note that internally to Isabelle, Symbol.explode is used in
  3400 almost all situations.
  3401 
  3402 * Discontinued obsolete function sys_error and exception SYS_ERROR.
  3403 See implementation manual for further details on exceptions in
  3404 Isabelle/ML.
  3405 
  3406 * Renamed setmp_noncritical to Unsynchronized.setmp to emphasize its
  3407 meaning.
  3408 
  3409 * Renamed structure PureThy to Pure_Thy and moved most of its
  3410 operations to structure Global_Theory, to emphasize that this is
  3411 rarely-used global-only stuff.
  3412 
  3413 * Discontinued Output.debug.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use plain writeln
  3414 instead (or tracing for high-volume output).
  3415 
  3416 * Configuration option show_question_marks only affects regular pretty
  3417 printing of types and terms, not raw Term.string_of_vname.
  3418 
  3419 * ML_Context.thm and ML_Context.thms are no longer pervasive.  Rare
  3420 INCOMPATIBILITY, superseded by static antiquotations @{thm} and
  3421 @{thms} for most purposes.
  3422 
  3423 * ML structure Unsynchronized is never opened, not even in Isar
  3424 interaction mode as before.  Old Unsynchronized.set etc. have been
  3425 discontinued -- use plain := instead.  This should be *rare* anyway,
  3426 since modern tools always work via official context data, notably
  3427 configuration options.
  3428 
  3429 * Parallel and asynchronous execution requires special care concerning
  3430 interrupts.  Structure Exn provides some convenience functions that
  3431 avoid working directly with raw Interrupt.  User code must not absorb
  3432 interrupts -- intermediate handling (for cleanup etc.) needs to be
  3433 followed by re-raising of the original exception.  Another common
  3434 source of mistakes are "handle _" patterns, which make the meaning of
  3435 the program subject to physical effects of the environment.

  3439 New in Isabelle2009-2 (June 2010)
  3440 ---------------------------------
  3441 
  3442 *** General ***
  3443 
  3444 * Authentic syntax for *all* logical entities (type classes, type
  3445 constructors, term constants): provides simple and robust
  3446 correspondence between formal entities and concrete syntax.  Within
  3447 the parse tree / AST representations, "constants" are decorated by
  3448 their category (class, type, const) and spelled out explicitly with
  3449 their full internal name.
  3450 
  3451 Substantial INCOMPATIBILITY concerning low-level syntax declarations
  3452 and translations (translation rules and translation functions in ML).
  3453 Some hints on upgrading:
  3454 
  3455   - Many existing uses of 'syntax' and 'translations' can be replaced
  3456     by more modern 'type_notation', 'notation' and 'abbreviation',
  3457     which are independent of this issue.
  3458 
  3459   - 'translations' require markup within the AST; the term syntax
  3460     provides the following special forms:
  3461 
  3462       CONST c   -- produces syntax version of constant c from context
  3463       XCONST c  -- literally c, checked as constant from context
  3464       c         -- literally c, if declared by 'syntax'
  3465 
  3466     Plain identifiers are treated as AST variables -- occasionally the
  3467     system indicates accidental variables via the error "rhs contains
  3468     extra variables".
  3469 
  3470     Type classes and type constructors are marked according to their
  3471     concrete syntax.  Some old translations rules need to be written
  3472     for the "type" category, using type constructor application
  3473     instead of pseudo-term application of the default category
  3474     "logic".
  3475 
  3476   - 'parse_translation' etc. in ML may use the following
  3477     antiquotations:
  3478 
  3479       @{class_syntax c}   -- type class c within parse tree / AST
  3480       @{term_syntax c}    -- type constructor c within parse tree / AST
  3481       @{const_syntax c}   -- ML version of "CONST c" above
  3482       @{syntax_const c}   -- literally c (checked wrt. 'syntax' declarations)
  3483 
  3484   - Literal types within 'typed_print_translations', i.e. those *not*
  3485     represented as pseudo-terms are represented verbatim.  Use @{class
  3486     c} or @{type_name c} here instead of the above syntax
  3487     antiquotations.
  3488 
  3489 Note that old non-authentic syntax was based on unqualified base
  3490 names, so all of the above "constant" names would coincide.  Recall
  3491 that 'print_syntax' and ML_command "set Syntax.trace_ast" help to
  3492 diagnose syntax problems.
  3493 
  3494 * Type constructors admit general mixfix syntax, not just infix.
  3495 
  3496 * Concrete syntax may be attached to local entities without a proof
  3497 body, too.  This works via regular mixfix annotations for 'fix',
  3498 'def', 'obtain' etc. or via the explicit 'write' command, which is
  3499 similar to the 'notation' command in theory specifications.
  3500 
  3501 * Discontinued unnamed infix syntax (legacy feature for many years) --
  3502 need to specify constant name and syntax separately.  Internal ML
  3503 datatype constructors have been renamed from InfixName to Infix etc.
  3504 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3505 
  3506 * Schematic theorem statements need to be explicitly markup as such,
  3507 via commands 'schematic_lemma', 'schematic_theorem',
  3508 'schematic_corollary'.  Thus the relevance of the proof is made
  3509 syntactically clear, which impacts performance in a parallel or
  3510 asynchronous interactive environment.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3511 
  3512 * Use of cumulative prems via "!" in some proof methods has been
  3513 discontinued (old legacy feature).
  3514 
  3515 * References 'trace_simp' and 'debug_simp' have been replaced by
  3516 configuration options stored in the context. Enabling tracing (the
  3517 case of debugging is similar) in proofs works via
  3518 
  3519   using [[trace_simp = true]]
  3520 
  3521 Tracing is then active for all invocations of the simplifier in
  3522 subsequent goal refinement steps. Tracing may also still be enabled or
  3523 disabled via the ProofGeneral settings menu.
  3524 
  3525 * Separate commands 'hide_class', 'hide_type', 'hide_const',
  3526 'hide_fact' replace the former 'hide' KIND command.  Minor
  3527 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3528 
  3529 * Improved parallelism of proof term normalization: usedir -p2 -q0 is
  3530 more efficient than combinations with -q1 or -q2.
  3531 
  3532 
  3533 *** Pure ***
  3534 
  3535 * Proofterms record type-class reasoning explicitly, using the
  3536 "unconstrain" operation internally.  This eliminates all sort
  3537 constraints from a theorem and proof, introducing explicit
  3538 OFCLASS-premises.  On the proof term level, this operation is
  3539 automatically applied at theorem boundaries, such that closed proofs
  3540 are always free of sort constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools that
  3541 inspect proof terms.
  3542 
  3543 * Local theory specifications may depend on extra type variables that
  3544 are not present in the result type -- arguments TYPE('a) :: 'a itself
  3545 are added internally.  For example:
  3546 
  3547   definition unitary :: bool where "unitary = (ALL (x::'a) y. x = y)"
  3548 
  3549 * Predicates of locales introduced by classes carry a mandatory
  3550 "class" prefix.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3551 
  3552 * Vacuous class specifications observe default sort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3553 
  3554 * Old 'axclass' command has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  3555 'class' instead.
  3556 
  3557 * Command 'code_reflect' allows to incorporate generated ML code into
  3558 runtime environment; replaces immature code_datatype antiquotation.
  3559 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3560 
  3561 * Code generator: simple concept for abstract datatypes obeying
  3562 invariants.
  3563 
  3564 * Code generator: details of internal data cache have no impact on the
  3565 user space functionality any longer.
  3566 
  3567 * Methods "unfold_locales" and "intro_locales" ignore non-locale
  3568 subgoals.  This is more appropriate for interpretations with 'where'.
  3569 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3570 
  3571 * Command 'example_proof' opens an empty proof body.  This allows to
  3572 experiment with Isar, without producing any persistent result.
  3573 
  3574 * Commands 'type_notation' and 'no_type_notation' declare type syntax
  3575 within a local theory context, with explicit checking of the
  3576 constructors involved (in contrast to the raw 'syntax' versions).
  3577 
  3578 * Commands 'types' and 'typedecl' now work within a local theory
  3579 context -- without introducing dependencies on parameters or
  3580 assumptions, which is not possible in Isabelle/Pure.
  3581 
  3582 * Command 'defaultsort' has been renamed to 'default_sort', it works
  3583 within a local theory context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3584 
  3585 
  3586 *** HOL ***
  3587 
  3588 * Command 'typedef' now works within a local theory context -- without
  3589 introducing dependencies on parameters or assumptions, which is not
  3590 possible in Isabelle/Pure/HOL.  Note that the logical environment may
  3591 contain multiple interpretations of local typedefs (with different
  3592 non-emptiness proofs), even in a global theory context.
  3593 
  3594 * New package for quotient types.  Commands 'quotient_type' and
  3595 'quotient_definition' may be used for defining types and constants by
  3596 quotient constructions.  An example is the type of integers created by
  3597 quotienting pairs of natural numbers:
  3598 
  3599   fun
  3600     intrel :: "(nat * nat) => (nat * nat) => bool"
  3601   where
  3602     "intrel (x, y) (u, v) = (x + v = u + y)"
  3603 
  3604   quotient_type int = "nat * nat" / intrel
  3605     by (auto simp add: equivp_def expand_fun_eq)
  3606 
  3607   quotient_definition
  3608     "0::int" is "(0::nat, 0::nat)"
  3609 
  3610 The method "lifting" can be used to lift of theorems from the
  3611 underlying "raw" type to the quotient type.  The example
  3612 src/HOL/Quotient_Examples/FSet.thy includes such a quotient
  3613 construction and provides a reasoning infrastructure for finite sets.
  3614 
  3615 * Renamed Library/Quotient.thy to Library/Quotient_Type.thy to avoid
  3616 clash with new theory Quotient in Main HOL.
  3617 
  3618 * Moved the SMT binding into the main HOL session, eliminating
  3619 separate HOL-SMT session.
  3620 
  3621 * List membership infix mem operation is only an input abbreviation.
  3622 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3623 
  3624 * Theory Library/Word.thy has been removed.  Use library Word/Word.thy
  3625 for future developements; former Library/Word.thy is still present in
  3626 the AFP entry RSAPPS.
  3627 
  3628 * Theorem Int.int_induct renamed to Int.int_of_nat_induct and is no
  3629 longer shadowed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3630 
  3631 * Dropped theorem duplicate comp_arith; use semiring_norm instead.
  3632 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3633 
  3634 * Dropped theorem RealPow.real_sq_order; use power2_le_imp_le instead.
  3635 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3636 
  3637 * Dropped normalizing_semiring etc; use the facts in semiring classes
  3638 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3639 
  3640 * Dropped several real-specific versions of lemmas about floor and
  3641 ceiling; use the generic lemmas from theory "Archimedean_Field"
  3642 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3674 
  3675 * Theory "Finite_Set": various folding_XXX locales facilitate the
  3676 application of the various fold combinators on finite sets.
  3677 
  3678 * Library theory "RBT" renamed to "RBT_Impl"; new library theory "RBT"
  3679 provides abstract red-black tree type which is backed by "RBT_Impl" as
  3680 implementation.  INCOMPATIBILTY.
  3681 
  3682 * Theory Library/Coinductive_List has been removed -- superseded by
  3683 AFP/thys/Coinductive.
  3684 
  3685 * Theory PReal, including the type "preal" and related operations, has
  3686 been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3687 
  3688 * Real: new development using Cauchy Sequences.
  3689 
  3690 * Split off theory "Big_Operators" containing setsum, setprod,
  3691 Inf_fin, Sup_fin, Min, Max from theory Finite_Set.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3692 
  3693 * Theory "Rational" renamed to "Rat", for consistency with "Nat",
  3694 "Int" etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3695 
  3696 * Constant Rat.normalize needs to be qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3697 
  3698 * New set of rules "ac_simps" provides combined assoc / commute
  3699 rewrites for all interpretations of the appropriate generic locales.
  3700 
  3701 * Renamed theory "OrderedGroup" to "Groups" and split theory
  3702 "Ring_and_Field" into theories "Rings" and "Fields"; for more
  3703 appropriate and more consistent names suitable for name prefixes
  3704 within the HOL theories.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3705 
  3706 * Some generic constants have been put to appropriate theories:
  3707   - less_eq, less: Orderings
  3708   - zero, one, plus, minus, uminus, times, abs, sgn: Groups
  3709   - inverse, divide: Rings
  3710 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3711 
  3712 * More consistent naming of type classes involving orderings (and
  3713 lattices):

  3753   The following slightly odd type classes have been moved to a
  3754   separate theory Library/Lattice_Algebras:
  3755 
  3756     lordered_ab_group_add               ~> lattice_ab_group_add
  3757     lordered_ab_group_add_abs           ~> lattice_ab_group_add_abs
  3758     lordered_ab_group_add_meet          ~> semilattice_inf_ab_group_add
  3759     lordered_ab_group_add_join          ~> semilattice_sup_ab_group_add
  3760     lordered_ring                       ~> lattice_ring
  3761 
  3762 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3763 
  3764 * Refined field classes:
  3765   - classes division_ring_inverse_zero, field_inverse_zero,
  3766     linordered_field_inverse_zero include rule inverse 0 = 0 --
  3767     subsumes former division_by_zero class;
  3768   - numerous lemmas have been ported from field to division_ring.
  3769 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3770 
  3771 * Refined algebra theorem collections:
  3772   - dropped theorem group group_simps, use algebra_simps instead;
  3773   - dropped theorem group ring_simps, use field_simps instead;
  3774   - proper theorem collection field_simps subsumes former theorem
  3775     groups field_eq_simps and field_simps;
  3776   - dropped lemma eq_minus_self_iff which is a duplicate for
  3777     equal_neg_zero.
  3778 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3779 
  3780 * Theory Finite_Set and List: some lemmas have been generalized from
  3781 sets to lattices:
  3782 
  3783   fun_left_comm_idem_inter      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_inf
  3784   fun_left_comm_idem_union      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_sup
  3785   inter_Inter_fold_inter        ~> inf_Inf_fold_inf
  3786   union_Union_fold_union        ~> sup_Sup_fold_sup
  3787   Inter_fold_inter              ~> Inf_fold_inf
  3788   Union_fold_union              ~> Sup_fold_sup
  3789   inter_INTER_fold_inter        ~> inf_INFI_fold_inf
  3790   union_UNION_fold_union        ~> sup_SUPR_fold_sup
  3791   INTER_fold_inter              ~> INFI_fold_inf
  3792   UNION_fold_union              ~> SUPR_fold_sup
  3793 
  3794 * Theory "Complete_Lattice": lemmas top_def and bot_def have been
  3795 replaced by the more convenient lemmas Inf_empty and Sup_empty.
  3796 Dropped lemmas Inf_insert_simp and Sup_insert_simp, which are subsumed
  3797 by Inf_insert and Sup_insert.  Lemmas Inf_UNIV and Sup_UNIV replace
  3798 former Inf_Univ and Sup_Univ.  Lemmas inf_top_right and sup_bot_right
  3799 subsume inf_top and sup_bot respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3800 
  3801 * Reorganized theory Multiset: swapped notation of pointwise and
  3802 multiset order:
  3803 
  3804   - pointwise ordering is instance of class order with standard syntax
  3805     <= and <;
  3806   - multiset ordering has syntax <=# and <#; partial order properties
  3807     are provided by means of interpretation with prefix
  3808     multiset_order;
  3809   - less duplication, less historical organization of sections,
  3810     conversion from associations lists to multisets, rudimentary code
  3811     generation;
  3812   - use insert_DiffM2 [symmetric] instead of elem_imp_eq_diff_union,
  3813     if needed.
  3814 
  3815 Renamed:
  3816 
  3817   multiset_eq_conv_count_eq  ~>  multiset_ext_iff
  3818   multi_count_ext  ~>  multiset_ext
  3819   diff_union_inverse2  ~>  diff_union_cancelR
  3820 
  3821 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3822 
  3823 * Theory Permutation: replaced local "remove" by List.remove1.
  3824 
  3825 * Code generation: ML and OCaml code is decorated with signatures.
  3826 
  3827 * Theory List: added transpose.
  3828 
  3829 * Library/Nat_Bijection.thy is a collection of bijective functions
  3830 between nat and other types, which supersedes the older libraries
  3831 Library/Nat_Int_Bij.thy and HOLCF/NatIso.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3861   Nat_Int_Bij.bij_int_to_nat_bij  ~> bij_int_decode
  3862 
  3863 * Sledgehammer:
  3864   - Renamed ATP commands:
  3865     atp_info     ~> sledgehammer running_atps
  3866     atp_kill     ~> sledgehammer kill_atps
  3867     atp_messages ~> sledgehammer messages
  3868     atp_minimize ~> sledgehammer minimize
  3869     print_atps   ~> sledgehammer available_atps
  3870     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3871   - Added user's manual ("isabelle doc sledgehammer").
  3872   - Added option syntax and "sledgehammer_params" to customize
  3873     Sledgehammer's behavior.  See the manual for details.
  3874   - Modified the Isar proof reconstruction code so that it produces
  3875     direct proofs rather than proofs by contradiction.  (This feature
  3876     is still experimental.)
  3877   - Made Isar proof reconstruction work for SPASS, remote ATPs, and in
  3878     full-typed mode.
  3879   - Added support for TPTP syntax for SPASS via the "spass_tptp" ATP.
  3880 
  3881 * Nitpick:
  3882   - Added and implemented "binary_ints" and "bits" options.
  3883   - Added "std" option and implemented support for nonstandard models.
  3884   - Added and implemented "finitize" option to improve the precision
  3885     of infinite datatypes based on a monotonicity analysis.
  3886   - Added support for quotient types.
  3887   - Added support for "specification" and "ax_specification"
  3888     constructs.
  3889   - Added support for local definitions (for "function" and
  3890     "termination" proofs).
  3891   - Added support for term postprocessors.
  3892   - Optimized "Multiset.multiset" and "FinFun.finfun".
  3893   - Improved efficiency of "destroy_constrs" optimization.
  3894   - Fixed soundness bugs related to "destroy_constrs" optimization and
  3895     record getters.
  3896   - Fixed soundness bug related to higher-order constructors.
  3897   - Fixed soundness bug when "full_descrs" is enabled.
  3898   - Improved precision of set constructs.
  3899   - Added "atoms" option.
  3900   - Added cache to speed up repeated Kodkod invocations on the same
  3901     problems.
  3902   - Renamed "MiniSatJNI", "zChaffJNI", "BerkMinAlloy", and
  3903     "SAT4JLight" to "MiniSat_JNI", "zChaff_JNI", "BerkMin_Alloy", and
  3904     "SAT4J_Light".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3905   - Removed "skolemize", "uncurry", "sym_break", "flatten_prop",
  3906     "sharing_depth", and "show_skolems" options.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3907   - Removed "nitpick_intro" attribute.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3908 
  3909 * Method "induct" now takes instantiations of the form t, where t is not
  3910   a variable, as a shorthand for "x == t", where x is a fresh variable.
  3911   If this is not intended, t has to be enclosed in parentheses.
  3912   By default, the equalities generated by definitional instantiations
  3913   are pre-simplified, which may cause parameters of inductive cases
  3914   to disappear, or may even delete some of the inductive cases.
  3915   Use "induct (no_simp)" instead of "induct" to restore the old
  3916   behaviour. The (no_simp) option is also understood by the "cases"
  3917   and "nominal_induct" methods, which now perform pre-simplification, too.
  3918   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3919 
  3920 
  3921 *** HOLCF ***
  3922 
  3923 * Variable names in lemmas generated by the domain package have
  3924 changed; the naming scheme is now consistent with the HOL datatype
  3925 package.  Some proof scripts may be affected, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3926 
  3927 * The domain package no longer defines the function "foo_copy" for
  3928 recursive domain "foo".  The reach lemma is now stated directly in
  3929 terms of "foo_take".  Lemmas and proofs that mention "foo_copy" must
  3930 be reformulated in terms of "foo_take", INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3931 
  3932 * Most definedness lemmas generated by the domain package (previously
  3933 of the form "x ~= UU ==> foo$x ~= UU") now have an if-and-only-if form
  3934 like "foo$x = UU <-> x = UU", which works better as a simp rule.
  3935 Proofs that used definedness lemmas as intro rules may break,
  3936 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3937 
  3938 * Induction and casedist rules generated by the domain package now
  3939 declare proper case_names (one called "bottom", and one named for each
  3940 constructor).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3941 
  3942 * For mutually-recursive domains, separate "reach" and "take_lemma"
  3943 rules are generated for each domain, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3944 
  3945   foo_bar.reach       ~> foo.reach  bar.reach
  3946   foo_bar.take_lemmas ~> foo.take_lemma  bar.take_lemma
  3947 
  3948 * Some lemmas generated by the domain package have been renamed for
  3949 consistency with the datatype package, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3950 
  3951   foo.ind        ~> foo.induct
  3952   foo.finite_ind ~> foo.finite_induct
  3953   foo.coind      ~> foo.coinduct
  3954   foo.casedist   ~> foo.exhaust
  3955   foo.exhaust    ~> foo.nchotomy
  3956 
  3957 * For consistency with other definition packages, the fixrec package
  3958 now generates qualified theorem names, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3959 
  3960   foo_simps  ~> foo.simps
  3961   foo_unfold ~> foo.unfold
  3962   foo_induct ~> foo.induct
  3963 
  3964 * The "fixrec_simp" attribute has been removed.  The "fixrec_simp"
  3965 method and internal fixrec proofs now use the default simpset instead.
  3966 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3967 
  3968 * The "contlub" predicate has been removed.  Proof scripts should use
  3969 lemma contI2 in place of monocontlub2cont, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3970 
  3971 * The "admw" predicate has been removed, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3972 
  3973 * The constants cpair, cfst, and csnd have been removed in favor of
  3974 Pair, fst, and snd from Isabelle/HOL, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3975 
  3976 
  3977 *** ML ***
  3978 
  3979 * Antiquotations for basic formal entities:
  3980 
  3981     @{class NAME}         -- type class
  3982     @{class_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of the above
  3983 
  3984     @{type_name NAME}     -- logical type
  3985     @{type_abbrev NAME}   -- type abbreviation
  3986     @{nonterminal NAME}   -- type of concrete syntactic category
  3987     @{type_syntax NAME}   -- syntax representation of any of the above
  3988 
  3989     @{const_name NAME}    -- logical constant (INCOMPATIBILITY)
  3990     @{const_abbrev NAME}  -- abbreviated constant
  3991     @{const_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of any of the above
  3992 
  3993 * Antiquotation @{syntax_const NAME} ensures that NAME refers to a raw
  3994 syntax constant (cf. 'syntax' command).
  3995 
  3996 * Antiquotation @{make_string} inlines a function to print arbitrary
  3997 values similar to the ML toplevel.  The result is compiler dependent
  3998 and may fall back on "?" in certain situations.
  3999 
  4000 * Diagnostic commands 'ML_val' and 'ML_command' may refer to
  4001 antiquotations @{Isar.state} and @{Isar.goal}.  This replaces impure
  4002 Isar.state() and Isar.goal(), which belong to the old TTY loop and do
  4003 not work with the asynchronous Isar document model.
  4004 
  4005 * Configuration options now admit dynamic default values, depending on
  4006 the context or even global references.
  4007 
  4008 * SHA1.digest digests strings according to SHA-1 (see RFC 3174).  It
  4009 uses an efficient external library if available (for Poly/ML).
  4010 
  4011 * Renamed some important ML structures, while keeping the old names
  4012 for some time as aliases within the structure Legacy:
  4013 
  4014   OuterKeyword  ~>  Keyword
  4015   OuterLex      ~>  Token
  4016   OuterParse    ~>  Parse
  4017   OuterSyntax   ~>  Outer_Syntax
  4018   PrintMode     ~>  Print_Mode
  4019   SpecParse     ~>  Parse_Spec
  4020   ThyInfo       ~>  Thy_Info
  4021   ThyLoad       ~>  Thy_Load
  4022   ThyOutput     ~>  Thy_Output
  4023   TypeInfer     ~>  Type_Infer
  4024 
  4025 Note that "open Legacy" simplifies porting of sources, but forgetting
  4026 to remove it again will complicate porting again in the future.
  4027 
  4028 * Most operations that refer to a global context are named
  4029 accordingly, e.g. Simplifier.global_context or
  4030 ProofContext.init_global.  There are some situations where a global
  4031 context actually works, but under normal circumstances one needs to
  4032 pass the proper local context through the code!
  4033 
  4034 * Discontinued old TheoryDataFun with its copy/init operation -- data
  4035 needs to be pure.  Functor Theory_Data_PP retains the traditional
  4036 Pretty.pp argument to merge, which is absent in the standard
  4037 Theory_Data version.
  4038 
  4039 * Sorts.certify_sort and derived "cert" operations for types and terms
  4040 no longer minimize sorts.  Thus certification at the boundary of the
  4041 inference kernel becomes invariant under addition of class relations,
  4042 which is an important monotonicity principle.  Sorts are now minimized
  4043 in the syntax layer only, at the boundary between the end-user and the
  4044 system.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY, may have to use Sign.minimize_sort
  4045 explicitly in rare situations.
  4046 
  4047 * Renamed old-style Drule.standard to Drule.export_without_context, to
  4048 emphasize that this is in no way a standard operation.
  4049 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4050 
  4051 * Subgoal.FOCUS (and variants): resulting goal state is normalized as
  4052 usual for resolution.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4053 
  4054 * Renamed varify/unvarify operations to varify_global/unvarify_global
  4055 to emphasize that these only work in a global situation (which is
  4056 quite rare).
  4057 
  4058 * Curried take and drop in library.ML; negative length is interpreted
  4059 as infinity (as in chop).  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4060 
  4061 * Proof terms: type substitutions on proof constants now use canonical
  4062 order of type variables.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools working with proof
  4063 terms.
  4064 
  4065 * Raw axioms/defs may no longer carry sort constraints, and raw defs
  4066 may no longer carry premises.  User-level specifications are
  4067 transformed accordingly by Thm.add_axiom/add_def.
  4068 
  4069 
  4070 *** System ***
  4071 
  4072 * Discontinued special HOL_USEDIR_OPTIONS for the main HOL image;
  4073 ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS applies uniformly to all sessions.  Note that
  4074 proof terms are enabled unconditionally in the new HOL-Proofs image.
  4075 
  4076 * Discontinued old ISABELLE and ISATOOL environment settings (legacy
  4077 feature since Isabelle2009).  Use ISABELLE_PROCESS and ISABELLE_TOOL,
  4078 respectively.
  4079 
  4080 * Old lib/scripts/polyml-platform is superseded by the
  4081 ISABELLE_PLATFORM setting variable, which defaults to the 32 bit
  4082 variant, even on a 64 bit machine.  The following example setting
  4083 prefers 64 bit if available:
  4084 
  4085   ML_PLATFORM="${ISABELLE_PLATFORM64:-$ISABELLE_PLATFORM}"
  4086 
  4087 * The preliminary Isabelle/jEdit application demonstrates the emerging
  4088 Isabelle/Scala layer for advanced prover interaction and integration.
  4089 See src/Tools/jEdit or "isabelle jedit" provided by the properly built
  4090 component.
  4091 
  4092 * "IsabelleText" is a Unicode font derived from Bitstream Vera Mono
  4093 and Bluesky TeX fonts.  It provides the usual Isabelle symbols,
  4094 similar to the default assignment of the document preparation system
  4095 (cf. isabellesym.sty).  The Isabelle/Scala class Isabelle_System
  4096 provides some operations for direct access to the font without asking
  4097 the user for manual installation.
  4098 
  4099 
  4100 
  4101 New in Isabelle2009-1 (December 2009)
  4102 -------------------------------------
  4103 
  4104 *** General ***
  4105 
  4106 * Discontinued old form of "escaped symbols" such as \\<forall>.  Only
  4107 one backslash should be used, even in ML sources.
  4108 
  4109 
  4110 *** Pure ***
  4111 
  4112 * Locale interpretation propagates mixins along the locale hierarchy.
  4113 The currently only available mixins are the equations used to map
  4114 local definitions to terms of the target domain of an interpretation.
  4115 
  4116 * Reactivated diagnostic command 'print_interps'.  Use "print_interps
  4117 loc" to print all interpretations of locale "loc" in the theory.
  4118 Interpretations in proofs are not shown.
  4119 
  4120 * Thoroughly revised locales tutorial.  New section on conditional
  4121 interpretation.
  4122 
  4123 * On instantiation of classes, remaining undefined class parameters
  4124 are formally declared.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4125 
  4126 
  4127 *** Document preparation ***
  4128 
  4129 * New generalized style concept for printing terms: @{foo (style) ...}
  4130 instead of @{foo_style style ...}  (old form is still retained for
  4131 backward compatibility).  Styles can be also applied for
  4132 antiquotations prop, term_type and typeof.
  4133 
  4134 
  4135 *** HOL ***
  4136 
  4137 * New proof method "smt" for a combination of first-order logic with
  4138 equality, linear and nonlinear (natural/integer/real) arithmetic, and
  4139 fixed-size bitvectors; there is also basic support for higher-order
  4140 features (esp. lambda abstractions).  It is an incomplete decision
  4141 procedure based on external SMT solvers using the oracle mechanism;
  4142 for the SMT solver Z3, this method is proof-producing.  Certificates
  4143 are provided to avoid calling the external solvers solely for
  4144 re-checking proofs.  Due to a remote SMT service there is no need for
  4145 installing SMT solvers locally.  See src/HOL/SMT.
  4146 
  4147 * New commands to load and prove verification conditions generated by
  4148 the Boogie program verifier or derived systems (e.g. the Verifying C
  4149 Compiler (VCC) or Spec#).  See src/HOL/Boogie.
  4150 
  4151 * New counterexample generator tool 'nitpick' based on the Kodkod
  4152 relational model finder.  See src/HOL/Tools/Nitpick and
  4153 src/HOL/Nitpick_Examples.
  4154 
  4155 * New commands 'code_pred' and 'values' to invoke the predicate
  4156 compiler and to enumerate values of inductive predicates.
  4157 
  4158 * A tabled implementation of the reflexive transitive closure.
  4159 
  4160 * New implementation of quickcheck uses generic code generator;
  4161 default generators are provided for all suitable HOL types, records
  4162 and datatypes.  Old quickcheck can be re-activated importing theory
  4163 Library/SML_Quickcheck.
  4164 
  4165 * New testing tool Mirabelle for automated proof tools.  Applies
  4166 several tools and tactics like sledgehammer, metis, or quickcheck, to
  4167 every proof step in a theory.  To be used in batch mode via the
  4168 "mirabelle" utility.
  4169 
  4170 * New proof method "sos" (sum of squares) for nonlinear real
  4171 arithmetic (originally due to John Harison). It requires theory
  4172 Library/Sum_Of_Squares.  It is not a complete decision procedure but
  4173 works well in practice on quantifier-free real arithmetic with +, -,
  4174 *, ^, =, <= and <, i.e. boolean combinations of equalities and
  4175 inequalities between polynomials.  It makes use of external
  4176 semidefinite programming solvers.  Method "sos" generates a
  4177 certificate that can be pasted into the proof thus avoiding the need
  4178 to call an external tool every time the proof is checked.  See
  4179 src/HOL/Library/Sum_Of_Squares.
  4180 
  4181 * New method "linarith" invokes existing linear arithmetic decision
  4182 procedure only.
  4183 
  4184 * New command 'atp_minimal' reduces result produced by Sledgehammer.
  4185 
  4186 * New Sledgehammer option "Full Types" in Proof General settings menu.
  4187 Causes full type information to be output to the ATPs.  This slows
  4188 ATPs down considerably but eliminates a source of unsound "proofs"
  4189 that fail later.
  4190 
  4191 * New method "metisFT": A version of metis that uses full type
  4192 information in order to avoid failures of proof reconstruction.
  4193 
  4194 * New evaluator "approximate" approximates an real valued term using
  4195 the same method as the approximation method.
  4196 
  4197 * Method "approximate" now supports arithmetic expressions as
  4198 boundaries of intervals and implements interval splitting and Taylor
  4199 series expansion.
  4200 
  4201 * ML antiquotation @{code_datatype} inserts definition of a datatype
  4202 generated by the code generator; e.g. see src/HOL/Predicate.thy.
  4203 
  4204 * New theory SupInf of the supremum and infimum operators for sets of
  4205 reals.
  4206 
  4207 * New theory Probability, which contains a development of measure
  4208 theory, eventually leading to Lebesgue integration and probability.
  4209 
  4210 * Extended Multivariate Analysis to include derivation and Brouwer's
  4211 fixpoint theorem.
  4212 
  4213 * Reorganization of number theory, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4214   - new number theory development for nat and int, in theories Divides
  4215     and GCD as well as in new session Number_Theory
  4216   - some constants and facts now suffixed with _nat and _int
  4217     accordingly
  4218   - former session NumberTheory now named Old_Number_Theory, including
  4219     theories Legacy_GCD and Primes (prefer Number_Theory if possible)
  4220   - moved theory Pocklington from src/HOL/Library to
  4221     src/HOL/Old_Number_Theory
  4222 
  4223 * Theory GCD includes functions Gcd/GCD and Lcm/LCM for the gcd and
  4224 lcm of finite and infinite sets. It is shown that they form a complete
  4225 lattice.
  4226 
  4227 * Class semiring_div requires superclass no_zero_divisors and proof of
  4228 div_mult_mult1; theorems div_mult_mult1, div_mult_mult2,
  4229 div_mult_mult1_if, div_mult_mult1 and div_mult_mult2 have been
  4230 generalized to class semiring_div, subsuming former theorems
  4231 zdiv_zmult_zmult1, zdiv_zmult_zmult1_if, zdiv_zmult_zmult1 and
  4232 zdiv_zmult_zmult2.  div_mult_mult1 is now [simp] by default.
  4233 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4234 
  4235 * Refinements to lattice classes and sets:
  4236   - less default intro/elim rules in locale variant, more default
  4237     intro/elim rules in class variant: more uniformity
  4238   - lemma ge_sup_conv renamed to le_sup_iff, in accordance with
  4239     le_inf_iff
  4240   - dropped lemma alias inf_ACI for inf_aci (same for sup_ACI and
  4241     sup_aci)
  4242   - renamed ACI to inf_sup_aci
  4243   - new class "boolean_algebra"
  4244   - class "complete_lattice" moved to separate theory
  4245     "Complete_Lattice"; corresponding constants (and abbreviations)
  4246     renamed and with authentic syntax:
  4247     Set.Inf ~>    Complete_Lattice.Inf
  4248     Set.Sup ~>    Complete_Lattice.Sup
  4249     Set.INFI ~>   Complete_Lattice.INFI
  4250     Set.SUPR ~>   Complete_Lattice.SUPR
  4251     Set.Inter ~>  Complete_Lattice.Inter
  4252     Set.Union ~>  Complete_Lattice.Union
  4253     Set.INTER ~>  Complete_Lattice.INTER
  4254     Set.UNION ~>  Complete_Lattice.UNION
  4255   - authentic syntax for
  4256     Set.Pow
  4257     Set.image
  4258   - mere abbreviations:
  4259     Set.empty               (for bot)
  4260     Set.UNIV                (for top)
  4261     Set.inter               (for inf, formerly Set.Int)
  4262     Set.union               (for sup, formerly Set.Un)
  4263     Complete_Lattice.Inter  (for Inf)
  4264     Complete_Lattice.Union  (for Sup)
  4265     Complete_Lattice.INTER  (for INFI)
  4266     Complete_Lattice.UNION  (for SUPR)
  4267   - object-logic definitions as far as appropriate
  4268 
  4269 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Care is required when theorems Int_subset_iff or
  4270 Un_subset_iff are explicitly deleted as default simp rules; then also
  4271 their lattice counterparts le_inf_iff and le_sup_iff have to be
  4272 deleted to achieve the desired effect.
  4273 
  4274 * Rules inf_absorb1, inf_absorb2, sup_absorb1, sup_absorb2 are no simp
  4275 rules by default any longer; the same applies to min_max.inf_absorb1
  4276 etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4277 
  4278 * Rules sup_Int_eq and sup_Un_eq are no longer declared as
  4279 pred_set_conv by default.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4280 
  4281 * Power operations on relations and functions are now one dedicated
  4282 constant "compow" with infix syntax "^^".  Power operation on
  4283 multiplicative monoids retains syntax "^" and is now defined generic
  4284 in class power.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4285 
  4286 * Relation composition "R O S" now has a more standard argument order:
  4287 "R O S = {(x, z). EX y. (x, y) : R & (y, z) : S}".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4288 rewrite propositions with "S O R" --> "R O S". Proofs may occasionally
  4289 break, since the O_assoc rule was not rewritten like this.  Fix using
  4290 O_assoc[symmetric].  The same applies to the curried version "R OO S".
  4291 
  4292 * Function "Inv" is renamed to "inv_into" and function "inv" is now an
  4293 abbreviation for "inv_into UNIV".  Lemmas are renamed accordingly.
  4294 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4295 
  4296 * Most rules produced by inductive and datatype package have mandatory
  4297 prefixes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4298 
  4299 * Changed "DERIV_intros" to a dynamic fact, which can be augmented by
  4300 the attribute of the same name.  Each of the theorems in the list
  4301 DERIV_intros assumes composition with an additional function and
  4302 matches a variable to the derivative, which has to be solved by the
  4303 Simplifier.  Hence (auto intro!: DERIV_intros) computes the derivative
  4304 of most elementary terms.  Former Maclauren.DERIV_tac and
  4305 Maclauren.deriv_tac should be replaced by (auto intro!: DERIV_intros).
  4306 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4307 
  4308 * Code generator attributes follow the usual underscore convention:
  4309     code_unfold     replaces    code unfold
  4310     code_post       replaces    code post
  4311     etc.
  4312   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4313 
  4314 * Renamed methods:
  4315     sizechange -> size_change
  4316     induct_scheme -> induction_schema
  4317   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4318 
  4319 * Discontinued abbreviation "arbitrary" of constant "undefined".
  4320 INCOMPATIBILITY, use "undefined" directly.
  4321 
  4322 * Renamed theorems:
  4323     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  4324     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1_left -> Suc_eq_plus1_left
  4325     Suc_plus1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  4326     *anti_sym -> *antisym*
  4327     vector_less_eq_def -> vector_le_def
  4328   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4329 
  4330 * Added theorem List.map_map as [simp].  Removed List.map_compose.
  4331 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4332 
  4333 * Removed predicate "M hassize n" (<--> card M = n & finite M).
  4334 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4335 
  4336 
  4337 *** HOLCF ***
  4338 
  4339 * Theory Representable defines a class "rep" of domains that are
  4340 representable (via an ep-pair) in the universal domain type "udom".
  4341 Instances are provided for all type constructors defined in HOLCF.
  4342 
  4343 * The 'new_domain' command is a purely definitional version of the
  4344 domain package, for representable domains.  Syntax is identical to the
  4345 old domain package.  The 'new_domain' package also supports indirect
  4346 recursion using previously-defined type constructors.  See
  4347 src/HOLCF/ex/New_Domain.thy for examples.
  4348 
  4349 * Method "fixrec_simp" unfolds one step of a fixrec-defined constant
  4350 on the left-hand side of an equation, and then performs
  4351 simplification.  Rewriting is done using rules declared with the
  4352 "fixrec_simp" attribute.  The "fixrec_simp" method is intended as a
  4353 replacement for "fixpat"; see src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples.
  4354 
  4355 * The pattern-match compiler in 'fixrec' can now handle constructors
  4356 with HOL function types.  Pattern-match combinators for the Pair
  4357 constructor are pre-configured.
  4358 
  4359 * The 'fixrec' package now produces better fixed-point induction rules
  4360 for mutually-recursive definitions:  Induction rules have conclusions
  4361 of the form "P foo bar" instead of "P <foo, bar>".
  4362 
  4363 * The constant "sq_le" (with infix syntax "<<" or "\<sqsubseteq>") has
  4364 been renamed to "below".  The name "below" now replaces "less" in many
  4365 theorem names.  (Legacy theorem names using "less" are still supported
  4366 as well.)
  4367 
  4368 * The 'fixrec' package now supports "bottom patterns".  Bottom
  4369 patterns can be used to generate strictness rules, or to make
  4370 functions more strict (much like the bang-patterns supported by the
  4371 Glasgow Haskell Compiler).  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  4372 examples.
  4373 
  4374 
  4375 *** ML ***
  4376 
  4377 * Support for Poly/ML 5.3.0, with improved reporting of compiler
  4378 errors and run-time exceptions, including detailed source positions.
  4379 
  4380 * Structure Name_Space (formerly NameSpace) now manages uniquely
  4381 identified entries, with some additional information such as source
  4382 position, logical grouping etc.
  4383 
  4384 * Theory and context data is now introduced by the simplified and
  4385 modernized functors Theory_Data, Proof_Data, Generic_Data.  Data needs
  4386 to be pure, but the old TheoryDataFun for mutable data (with explicit
  4387 copy operation) is still available for some time.
  4388 
  4389 * Structure Synchronized (cf. src/Pure/Concurrent/synchronized.ML)
  4390 provides a high-level programming interface to synchronized state
  4391 variables with atomic update.  This works via pure function
  4392 application within a critical section -- its runtime should be as
  4393 short as possible; beware of deadlocks if critical code is nested,
  4394 either directly or indirectly via other synchronized variables!
  4395 
  4396 * Structure Unsynchronized (cf. src/Pure/ML-Systems/unsynchronized.ML)
  4397 wraps raw ML references, explicitly indicating their non-thread-safe
  4398 behaviour.  The Isar toplevel keeps this structure open, to
  4399 accommodate Proof General as well as quick and dirty interactive
  4400 experiments with references.
  4401 
  4402 * PARALLEL_CHOICE and PARALLEL_GOALS provide basic support for
  4403 parallel tactical reasoning.
  4404 
  4405 * Tacticals Subgoal.FOCUS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PREMS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PARAMS
  4406 are similar to SUBPROOF, but are slightly more flexible: only the
  4407 specified parts of the subgoal are imported into the context, and the
  4408 body tactic may introduce new subgoals and schematic variables.
  4409 
  4410 * Old tactical METAHYPS, which does not observe the proof context, has
  4411 been renamed to Old_Goals.METAHYPS and awaits deletion.  Use SUBPROOF
  4412 or Subgoal.FOCUS etc.
  4413 
  4414 * Renamed functor TableFun to Table, and GraphFun to Graph.  (Since
  4415 functors have their own ML name space there is no point to mark them
  4416 separately.)  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4417 
  4418 * Renamed NamedThmsFun to Named_Thms.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4419 
  4420 * Renamed several structures FooBar to Foo_Bar.  Occasional,
  4421 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4422 
  4423 * Operations of structure Skip_Proof no longer require quick_and_dirty
  4424 mode, which avoids critical setmp.
  4425 
  4426 * Eliminated old Attrib.add_attributes, Method.add_methods and related
  4427 combinators for "args".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use simplified
  4428 Attrib/Method.setup introduced in Isabelle2009.
  4429 
  4430 * Proper context for simpset_of, claset_of, clasimpset_of.  May fall
  4431 back on global_simpset_of, global_claset_of, global_clasimpset_of as
  4432 last resort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4433 
  4434 * Display.pretty_thm now requires a proper context (cf. former
  4435 ProofContext.pretty_thm).  May fall back on Display.pretty_thm_global
  4436 or even Display.pretty_thm_without_context as last resort.
  4437 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4438 
  4439 * Discontinued Display.pretty_ctyp/cterm etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  4440 Syntax.pretty_typ/term directly, preferably with proper context
  4441 instead of global theory.
  4442 
  4443 
  4444 *** System ***
  4445 
  4446 * Further fine tuning of parallel proof checking, scales up to 8 cores
  4447 (max. speedup factor 5.0).  See also Goal.parallel_proofs in ML and
  4448 usedir option -q.
  4449 
  4450 * Support for additional "Isabelle components" via etc/components, see
  4451 also the system manual.
  4452 
  4453 * The isabelle makeall tool now operates on all components with
  4454 IsaMakefile, not just hardwired "logics".
  4455 
  4456 * Removed "compress" option from isabelle-process and isabelle usedir;
  4457 this is always enabled.
  4458 
  4459 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 4.x versions.
  4460 
  4461 * Isabelle tool "wwwfind" provides web interface for 'find_theorems'
  4462 on a given logic image.  This requires the lighttpd webserver and is
  4463 currently supported on Linux only.
  4464 
  4465 
  4466 
  4467 New in Isabelle2009 (April 2009)
  4468 --------------------------------
  4469 
  4470 *** General ***
  4471 
  4472 * Simplified main Isabelle executables, with less surprises on
  4473 case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  4474 
  4475   - The main Isabelle tool wrapper is now called "isabelle" instead of
  4476     "isatool."
  4477 
  4478   - The former "isabelle" alias for "isabelle-process" has been
  4479     removed (should rarely occur to regular users).
  4480 
  4481   - The former "isabelle-interface" and its alias "Isabelle" have been
  4482     removed (interfaces are now regular Isabelle tools).
  4483 
  4484 Within scripts and make files, the Isabelle environment variables
  4485 ISABELLE_TOOL and ISABELLE_PROCESS replace old ISATOOL and ISABELLE,
  4486 respectively.  (The latter are still available as legacy feature.)
  4487 
  4488 The old isabelle-interface wrapper could react in confusing ways if
  4489 the interface was uninstalled or changed otherwise.  Individual
  4490 interface tool configuration is now more explicit, see also the
  4491 Isabelle system manual.  In particular, Proof General is now available
  4492 via "isabelle emacs".
  4493 
  4494 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt derivative scripts.  Users may need to
  4495 purge installed copies of Isabelle executables and re-run "isabelle
  4496 install -p ...", or use symlinks.
  4497 
  4498 * The default for ISABELLE_HOME_USER is now ~/.isabelle instead of the
  4499 old ~/isabelle, which was slightly non-standard and apt to cause
  4500 surprises on case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  4501 
  4502 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to move existing ~/isabelle/etc,
  4503 ~/isabelle/heaps, ~/isabelle/browser_info to the new place.  Special
  4504 care is required when using older releases of Isabelle.  Note that
  4505 ISABELLE_HOME_USER can be changed in Isabelle/etc/settings of any
  4506 Isabelle distribution, in order to use the new ~/.isabelle uniformly.
  4507 
  4508 * Proofs of fully specified statements are run in parallel on
  4509 multi-core systems.  A speedup factor of 2.5 to 3.2 can be expected on
  4510 a regular 4-core machine, if the initial heap space is made reasonably
  4511 large (cf. Poly/ML option -H).  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  4512 
  4513 * The main reference manuals ("isar-ref", "implementation", and
  4514 "system") have been updated and extended.  Formally checked references
  4515 as hyperlinks are now available uniformly.
  4516 
  4517 
  4518 *** Pure ***
  4519 
  4520 * Complete re-implementation of locales.  INCOMPATIBILITY in several
  4521 respects.  The most important changes are listed below.  See the
  4522 Tutorial on Locales ("locales" manual) for details.
  4523 
  4524 - In locale expressions, instantiation replaces renaming.  Parameters
  4525 must be declared in a for clause.  To aid compatibility with previous
  4526 parameter inheritance, in locale declarations, parameters that are not
  4527 'touched' (instantiation position "_" or omitted) are implicitly added
  4528 with their syntax at the beginning of the for clause.
  4529 
  4530 - Syntax from abbreviations and definitions in locales is available in
  4531 locale expressions and context elements.  The latter is particularly
  4532 useful in locale declarations.
  4533 
  4534 - More flexible mechanisms to qualify names generated by locale
  4535 expressions.  Qualifiers (prefixes) may be specified in locale
  4536 expressions, and can be marked as mandatory (syntax: "name!:") or
  4537 optional (syntax "name?:").  The default depends for plain "name:"
  4538 depends on the situation where a locale expression is used: in
  4539 commands 'locale' and 'sublocale' prefixes are optional, in
  4540 'interpretation' and 'interpret' prefixes are mandatory.  The old
  4541 implicit qualifiers derived from the parameter names of a locale are
  4542 no longer generated.
  4543 
  4544 - Command "sublocale l < e" replaces "interpretation l < e".  The
  4545 instantiation clause in "interpretation" and "interpret" (square
  4546 brackets) is no longer available.  Use locale expressions.
  4547 
  4548 - When converting proof scripts, mandatory qualifiers in
  4549 'interpretation' and 'interpret' should be retained by default, even
  4550 if this is an INCOMPATIBILITY compared to former behavior.  In the
  4551 worst case, use the "name?:" form for non-mandatory ones.  Qualifiers
  4552 in locale expressions range over a single locale instance only.
  4553 
  4554 - Dropped locale element "includes".  This is a major INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4555 In existing theorem specifications replace the includes element by the
  4556 respective context elements of the included locale, omitting those
  4557 that are already present in the theorem specification.  Multiple
  4558 assume elements of a locale should be replaced by a single one
  4559 involving the locale predicate.  In the proof body, declarations (most
  4560 notably theorems) may be regained by interpreting the respective
  4561 locales in the proof context as required (command "interpret").
  4562 
  4563 If using "includes" in replacement of a target solely because the
  4564 parameter types in the theorem are not as general as in the target,
  4565 consider declaring a new locale with additional type constraints on
  4566 the parameters (context element "constrains").
  4567 
  4568 - Discontinued "locale (open)".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4569 
  4570 - Locale interpretation commands no longer attempt to simplify goal.
  4571 INCOMPATIBILITY: in rare situations the generated goal differs.  Use
  4572 methods intro_locales and unfold_locales to clarify.
  4573 
  4574 - Locale interpretation commands no longer accept interpretation
  4575 attributes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4576 
  4577 * Class declaration: so-called "base sort" must not be given in import
  4578 list any longer, but is inferred from the specification.  Particularly
  4579 in HOL, write
  4580 
  4581     class foo = ...
  4582 
  4583 instead of
  4584 
  4585     class foo = type + ...
  4586 
  4587 * Class target: global versions of theorems stemming do not carry a
  4588 parameter prefix any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4589 
  4590 * Class 'instance' command no longer accepts attached definitions.
  4591 INCOMPATIBILITY, use proper 'instantiation' target instead.
  4592 
  4593 * Recovered hiding of consts, which was accidentally broken in
  4594 Isabelle2007.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, ``hide const c'' really
  4595 makes c inaccessible; consider using ``hide (open) const c'' instead.
  4596 
  4597 * Slightly more coherent Pure syntax, with updated documentation in
  4598 isar-ref manual.  Removed locales meta_term_syntax and
  4599 meta_conjunction_syntax: TERM and &&& (formerly &&) are now permanent,
  4600 INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations.  Note that &&& should not be used
  4601 directly in regular applications.
  4602 
  4603 * There is a new syntactic category "float_const" for signed decimal
  4604 fractions (e.g. 123.45 or -123.45).
  4605 
  4606 * Removed exotic 'token_translation' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML
  4607 interface with 'setup' command instead.
  4608 
  4609 * Command 'local_setup' is similar to 'setup', but operates on a local
  4610 theory context.
  4611 
  4612 * The 'axiomatization' command now only works within a global theory
  4613 context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4614 
  4615 * Goal-directed proof now enforces strict proof irrelevance wrt. sort
  4616 hypotheses.  Sorts required in the course of reasoning need to be
  4617 covered by the constraints in the initial statement, completed by the
  4618 type instance information of the background theory.  Non-trivial sort
  4619 hypotheses, which rarely occur in practice, may be specified via
  4620 vacuous propositions of the form SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::c).  For example:
  4621 
  4622   lemma assumes "SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::empty)" shows False ...
  4623 
  4624 The result contains an implicit sort hypotheses as before --
  4625 SORT_CONSTRAINT premises are eliminated as part of the canonical rule
  4626 normalization.
  4627 
  4628 * Generalized Isar history, with support for linear undo, direct state
  4629 addressing etc.
  4630 
  4631 * Changed defaults for unify configuration options:
  4632 
  4633   unify_trace_bound = 50 (formerly 25)
  4634   unify_search_bound = 60 (formerly 30)
  4635 
  4636 * Different bookkeeping for code equations (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  4637 
  4638   a) On theory merge, the last set of code equations for a particular
  4639      constant is taken (in accordance with the policy applied by other
  4640      parts of the code generator framework).
  4641 
  4642   b) Code equations stemming from explicit declarations (e.g. code
  4643      attribute) gain priority over default code equations stemming
  4644      from definition, primrec, fun etc.
  4645 
  4646 * Keyword 'code_exception' now named 'code_abort'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4647 
  4648 * Unified theorem tables for both code generators.  Thus [code
  4649 func] has disappeared and only [code] remains.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4650 
  4651 * Command 'find_consts' searches for constants based on type and name
  4652 patterns, e.g.
  4653 
  4654     find_consts "_ => bool"
  4655 
  4656 By default, matching is against subtypes, but it may be restricted to
  4657 the whole type.  Searching by name is possible.  Multiple queries are
  4658 conjunctive and queries may be negated by prefixing them with a
  4659 hyphen:
  4660 
  4661     find_consts strict: "_ => bool" name: "Int" -"int => int"
  4662 
  4663 * New 'find_theorems' criterion "solves" matches theorems that
  4664 directly solve the current goal (modulo higher-order unification).
  4665 
  4666 * Auto solve feature for main theorem statements: whenever a new goal
  4667 is stated, "find_theorems solves" is called; any theorems that could
  4668 solve the lemma directly are listed as part of the goal state.
  4669 Cf. associated options in Proof General Isabelle settings menu,
  4670 enabled by default, with reasonable timeout for pathological cases of
  4671 higher-order unification.
  4672 
  4673 
  4674 *** Document preparation ***
  4675 
  4676 * Antiquotation @{lemma} now imitates a regular terminal proof,
  4677 demanding keyword 'by' and supporting the full method expression
  4678 syntax just like the Isar command 'by'.
  4679 
  4680 
  4681 *** HOL ***
  4682 
  4683 * Integrated main parts of former image HOL-Complex with HOL.  Entry
  4684 points Main and Complex_Main remain as before.
  4685 
  4686 * Logic image HOL-Plain provides a minimal HOL with the most important
  4687 tools available (inductive, datatype, primrec, ...).  This facilitates
  4688 experimentation and tool development.  Note that user applications
  4689 (and library theories) should never refer to anything below theory
  4690 Main, as before.
  4691 
  4692 * Logic image HOL-Main stops at theory Main, and thus facilitates
  4693 experimentation due to shorter build times.
  4694 
  4695 * Logic image HOL-NSA contains theories of nonstandard analysis which
  4696 were previously part of former HOL-Complex.  Entry point Hyperreal
  4697 remains valid, but theories formerly using Complex_Main should now use
  4698 new entry point Hypercomplex.
  4699 
  4700 * Generic ATP manager for Sledgehammer, based on ML threads instead of
  4701 Posix processes.  Avoids potentially expensive forking of the ML
  4702 process.  New thread-based implementation also works on non-Unix
  4703 platforms (Cygwin).  Provers are no longer hardwired, but defined
  4704 within the theory via plain ML wrapper functions.  Basic Sledgehammer
  4705 commands are covered in the isar-ref manual.
  4706 
  4707 * Wrapper scripts for remote SystemOnTPTP service allows to use
  4708 sledgehammer without local ATP installation (Vampire etc.). Other
  4709 provers may be included via suitable ML wrappers, see also
  4710 src/HOL/ATP_Linkup.thy.
  4711 
  4712 * ATP selection (E/Vampire/Spass) is now via Proof General's settings
  4713 menu.
  4714 
  4715 * The metis method no longer fails because the theorem is too trivial
  4716 (contains the empty clause).
  4717 
  4718 * The metis method now fails in the usual manner, rather than raising
  4719 an exception, if it determines that it cannot prove the theorem.
  4720 
  4721 * Method "coherent" implements a prover for coherent logic (see also
  4722 src/Tools/coherent.ML).
  4723 
  4724 * Constants "undefined" and "default" replace "arbitrary".  Usually
  4725 "undefined" is the right choice to replace "arbitrary", though
  4726 logically there is no difference.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4727 
  4728 * Command "value" now integrates different evaluation mechanisms.  The
  4729 result of the first successful evaluation mechanism is printed.  In
  4730 square brackets a particular named evaluation mechanisms may be
  4731 specified (currently, [SML], [code] or [nbe]).  See further
  4732 src/HOL/ex/Eval_Examples.thy.
  4733 
  4734 * Normalization by evaluation now allows non-leftlinear equations.
  4735 Declare with attribute [code nbe].
  4736 
  4737 * Methods "case_tac" and "induct_tac" now refer to the very same rules
  4738 as the structured Isar versions "cases" and "induct", cf. the
  4739 corresponding "cases" and "induct" attributes.  Mutual induction rules
  4740 are now presented as a list of individual projections
  4741 (e.g. foo_bar.inducts for types foo and bar); the old format with
  4742 explicit HOL conjunction is no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  4743 rare situations a different rule is selected --- notably nested tuple
  4744 elimination instead of former prod.exhaust: use explicit (case_tac t
  4745 rule: prod.exhaust) here.
  4746 
  4747 * Attributes "cases", "induct", "coinduct" support "del" option.
  4748 
  4749 * Removed fact "case_split_thm", which duplicates "case_split".
  4750 
  4751 * The option datatype has been moved to a new theory Option.  Renamed
  4752 option_map to Option.map, and o2s to Option.set, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4753 
  4754 * New predicate "strict_mono" classifies strict functions on partial
  4755 orders.  With strict functions on linear orders, reasoning about
  4756 (in)equalities is facilitated by theorems "strict_mono_eq",
  4757 "strict_mono_less_eq" and "strict_mono_less".
  4758 
  4759 * Some set operations are now proper qualified constants with
  4760 authentic syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4761 
  4762     op Int ~>   Set.Int
  4763     op Un ~>    Set.Un
  4764     INTER ~>    Set.INTER
  4765     UNION ~>    Set.UNION
  4766     Inter ~>    Set.Inter
  4767     Union ~>    Set.Union
  4768     {} ~>       Set.empty
  4769     UNIV ~>     Set.UNIV
  4770 
  4771 * Class complete_lattice with operations Inf, Sup, INFI, SUPR now in
  4772 theory Set.
  4773 
  4774 * Auxiliary class "itself" has disappeared -- classes without any
  4775 parameter are treated as expected by the 'class' command.
  4776 
  4777 * Leibnitz's Series for Pi and the arcus tangens and logarithm series.
  4778 
  4779 * Common decision procedures (Cooper, MIR, Ferrack, Approximation,
  4780 Dense_Linear_Order) are now in directory HOL/Decision_Procs.
  4781 
  4782 * Theory src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation provides the new proof
  4783 method "approximation".  It proves formulas on real values by using
  4784 interval arithmetic.  In the formulas are also the transcendental
  4785 functions sin, cos, tan, atan, ln, exp and the constant pi are
  4786 allowed. For examples see
  4787 src/HOL/Descision_Procs/ex/Approximation_Ex.thy.
  4788 
  4789 * Theory "Reflection" now resides in HOL/Library.
  4790 
  4791 * Entry point to Word library now simply named "Word".
  4792 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4793 
  4794 * Made source layout more coherent with logical distribution
  4795 structure:

  4848 
  4849 * If methods "eval" and "evaluation" encounter a structured proof
  4850 state with !!/==>, only the conclusion is evaluated to True (if
  4851 possible), avoiding strange error messages.
  4852 
  4853 * Method "sizechange" automates termination proofs using (a
  4854 modification of) the size-change principle.  Requires SAT solver.  See
  4855 src/HOL/ex/Termination.thy for examples.
  4856 
  4857 * Simplifier: simproc for let expressions now unfolds if bound
  4858 variable occurs at most once in let expression body.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4859 
  4860 * Method "arith": Linear arithmetic now ignores all inequalities when
  4861 fast_arith_neq_limit is exceeded, instead of giving up entirely.
  4862 
  4863 * New attribute "arith" for facts that should always be used
  4864 automatically by arithmetic. It is intended to be used locally in
  4865 proofs, e.g.
  4866 
  4867   assumes [arith]: "x > 0"
  4868 
  4869 Global usage is discouraged because of possible performance impact.
  4870 
  4871 * New classes "top" and "bot" with corresponding operations "top" and
  4872 "bot" in theory Orderings; instantiation of class "complete_lattice"
  4873 requires instantiation of classes "top" and "bot".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4874 
  4875 * Changed definition lemma "less_fun_def" in order to provide an
  4876 instance for preorders on functions; use lemma "less_le" instead.
  4877 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4878 
  4879 * Theory Orderings: class "wellorder" moved here, with explicit
  4880 induction rule "less_induct" as assumption.  For instantiation of
  4881 "wellorder" by means of predicate "wf", use rule wf_wellorderI.
  4882 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4883 
  4884 * Theory Orderings: added class "preorder" as superclass of "order".
  4885 INCOMPATIBILITY: Instantiation proofs for order, linorder
  4886 etc. slightly changed.  Some theorems named order_class.* now named
  4887 preorder_class.*.
  4888 
  4889 * Theory Relation: renamed "refl" to "refl_on", "reflexive" to "refl,
  4890 "diag" to "Id_on".
  4891 
  4892 * Theory Finite_Set: added a new fold combinator of type
  4893 
  4894   ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  4895 
  4896 Occasionally this is more convenient than the old fold combinator
  4897 which is now defined in terms of the new one and renamed to
  4898 fold_image.
  4899 
  4900 * Theories Ring_and_Field and OrderedGroup: The lemmas "group_simps"
  4901 and "ring_simps" have been replaced by "algebra_simps" (which can be
  4902 extended with further lemmas!).  At the moment both still exist but
  4903 the former will disappear at some point.
  4904 
  4905 * Theory Power: Lemma power_Suc is now declared as a simp rule in
  4906 class recpower.  Type-specific simp rules for various recpower types
  4907 have been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, rename old lemmas as follows:
  4908 
  4909 rat_power_0    -> power_0
  4910 rat_power_Suc  -> power_Suc
  4911 realpow_0      -> power_0
  4912 realpow_Suc    -> power_Suc
  4913 complexpow_0   -> power_0
  4914 complexpow_Suc -> power_Suc
  4915 power_poly_0   -> power_0
  4916 power_poly_Suc -> power_Suc
  4917 
  4918 * Theories Ring_and_Field and Divides: Definition of "op dvd" has been
  4919 moved to separate class dvd in Ring_and_Field; a couple of lemmas on
  4920 dvd has been generalized to class comm_semiring_1.  Likewise a bunch
  4921 of lemmas from Divides has been generalized from nat to class
  4922 semiring_div.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  This involves the following theorem
  4923 renames resulting from duplicate elimination:
  4924 
  4925     dvd_def_mod ~>          dvd_eq_mod_eq_0
  4926     zero_dvd_iff ~>         dvd_0_left_iff
  4927     dvd_0 ~>                dvd_0_right
  4928     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_DIV ~> div_by_0
  4929     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_MOD ~> mod_by_0
  4930     mult_div ~>             div_mult_self2_is_id
  4931     mult_mod ~>             mod_mult_self2_is_0
  4932 
  4933 * Theory IntDiv: removed many lemmas that are instances of class-based
  4934 generalizations (from Divides and Ring_and_Field).  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4935 rename old lemmas as follows:
  4936 
  4937 dvd_diff               -> nat_dvd_diff
  4938 dvd_zminus_iff         -> dvd_minus_iff

  4942 mod_mult_distrib_mod   -> mod_mult_eq
  4943 nat_mod_add_left_eq    -> mod_add_left_eq
  4944 nat_mod_add_right_eq   -> mod_add_right_eq
  4945 nat_mod_div_trivial    -> mod_div_trivial
  4946 nat_mod_mod_trivial    -> mod_mod_trivial
  4947 zdiv_zadd_self1        -> div_add_self1

  4951 zdvd_triv_left         -> dvd_triv_left
  4952 zdvd_triv_right        -> dvd_triv_right
  4953 zdvd_zmult_cancel_disj -> dvd_mult_cancel_left
  4954 zmod_eq0_zdvd_iff      -> dvd_eq_mod_eq_0[symmetric]

  4956 zmod_zadd_right_eq     -> mod_add_right_eq
  4957 zmod_zadd_self1        -> mod_add_self1
  4958 zmod_zadd_self2        -> mod_add_self2
  4959 zmod_zadd1_eq          -> mod_add_eq
  4960 zmod_zdiff1_eq         -> mod_diff_eq

  4965 zmod_1                 -> mod_by_1
  4966 zdiv_1                 -> div_by_1
  4967 zdvd_abs1              -> abs_dvd_iff

  4979 zdvd_0_left            -> dvd_0_left_iff
  4980 zdvd_1_left            -> one_dvd
  4981 zminus_dvd_iff         -> minus_dvd_iff
  4982 
  4983 * Theory Rational: 'Fract k 0' now equals '0'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4984 
  4985 * The real numbers offer decimal input syntax: 12.34 is translated
  4986 into 1234/10^2. This translation is not reversed upon output.
  4987 
  4988 * Theory Library/Polynomial defines an abstract type 'a poly of
  4989 univariate polynomials with coefficients of type 'a.  In addition to
  4990 the standard ring operations, it also supports div and mod.  Code
  4991 generation is also supported, using list-style constructors.
  4992 
  4993 * Theory Library/Inner_Product defines a class of real_inner for real
  4994 inner product spaces, with an overloaded operation inner :: 'a => 'a
  4995 => real.  Class real_inner is a subclass of real_normed_vector from
  4996 theory RealVector.
  4997 
  4998 * Theory Library/Product_Vector provides instances for the product
  4999 type 'a * 'b of several classes from RealVector and Inner_Product.
  5000 Definitions of addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, norms,
  5001 and inner products are included.
  5002 
  5003 * Theory Library/Bit defines the field "bit" of integers modulo 2.  In
  5004 addition to the field operations, numerals and case syntax are also
  5005 supported.
  5006 
  5007 * Theory Library/Diagonalize provides constructive version of Cantor's
  5008 first diagonalization argument.
  5009 
  5010 * Theory Library/GCD: Curried operations gcd, lcm (for nat) and zgcd,
  5011 zlcm (for int); carried together from various gcd/lcm developements in
  5012 the HOL Distribution.  Constants zgcd and zlcm replace former igcd and
  5013 ilcm; corresponding theorems renamed accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  5014 may recover tupled syntax as follows:
  5015 
  5016     hide (open) const gcd
  5017     abbreviation gcd where
  5018       "gcd == (%(a, b). GCD.gcd a b)"
  5019     notation (output)
  5020       GCD.gcd ("gcd '(_, _')")
  5021 
  5022 The same works for lcm, zgcd, zlcm.
  5023 
  5024 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity: added addition, numeral syntax and more
  5025 instantiations for algebraic structures.  Removed some duplicate
  5026 theorems.  Changes in simp rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5027 
  5028 * ML antiquotation @{code} takes a constant as argument and generates
  5029 corresponding code in background and inserts name of the corresponding
  5030 resulting ML value/function/datatype constructor binding in place.
  5031 All occurrences of @{code} with a single ML block are generated
  5032 simultaneously.  Provides a generic and safe interface for
  5033 instrumentalizing code generation.  See
  5034 src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Ferrack.thy for a more ambitious application.
  5035 In future you ought to refrain from ad-hoc compiling generated SML
  5036 code on the ML toplevel.  Note that (for technical reasons) @{code}
  5037 cannot refer to constants for which user-defined serializations are
  5038 set.  Refer to the corresponding ML counterpart directly in that
  5039 cases.
  5040 
  5041 * Command 'rep_datatype': instead of theorem names the command now
  5042 takes a list of terms denoting the constructors of the type to be
  5043 represented as datatype.  The characteristic theorems have to be
  5044 proven.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Also observe that the following theorems
  5045 have disappeared in favour of existing ones:
  5046 
  5047     unit_induct                 ~> unit.induct
  5048     prod_induct                 ~> prod.induct
  5049     sum_induct                  ~> sum.induct
  5050     Suc_Suc_eq                  ~> nat.inject
  5051     Suc_not_Zero Zero_not_Suc   ~> nat.distinct
  5052 
  5053 
  5054 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  5055 
  5056 * New locales for orders and lattices where the equivalence relation
  5057 is not restricted to equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY: all order and lattice
  5058 locales use a record structure with field eq for the equivalence.
  5059 
  5060 * New theory of factorial domains.
  5061 
  5062 * Units_l_inv and Units_r_inv are now simp rules by default.
  5063 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Simplifier proof that require deletion of l_inv
  5064 and/or r_inv will now also require deletion of these lemmas.
  5065 
  5066 * Renamed the following theorems, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5067 
  5068 UpperD ~> Upper_memD
  5069 LowerD ~> Lower_memD
  5070 least_carrier ~> least_closed
  5071 greatest_carrier ~> greatest_closed
  5072 greatest_Lower_above ~> greatest_Lower_below
  5073 one_zero ~> carrier_one_zero
  5074 one_not_zero ~> carrier_one_not_zero  (collision with assumption)
  5075 
  5076 
  5077 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  5078 
  5079 * Nominal datatypes can now contain type-variables.
  5080 
  5081 * Commands 'nominal_inductive' and 'equivariance' work with local
  5082 theory targets.
  5083 
  5084 * Nominal primrec can now works with local theory targets and its
  5085 specification syntax now conforms to the general format as seen in
  5086 'inductive' etc.
  5087 
  5088 * Method "perm_simp" honours the standard simplifier attributes
  5089 (no_asm), (no_asm_use) etc.
  5090 
  5091 * The new predicate #* is defined like freshness, except that on the
  5092 left hand side can be a set or list of atoms.
  5093 
  5094 * Experimental command 'nominal_inductive2' derives strong induction
  5095 principles for inductive definitions.  In contrast to
  5096 'nominal_inductive', which can only deal with a fixed number of
  5097 binders, it can deal with arbitrary expressions standing for sets of
  5098 atoms to be avoided.  The only inductive definition we have at the
  5099 moment that needs this generalisation is the typing rule for Lets in
  5100 the algorithm W:
  5101 
  5102  Gamma |- t1 : T1   (x,close Gamma T1)::Gamma |- t2 : T2   x#Gamma
  5103  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  5104          Gamma |- Let x be t1 in t2 : T2
  5105 
  5106 In this rule one wants to avoid all the binders that are introduced by
  5107 "close Gamma T1".  We are looking for other examples where this
  5108 feature might be useful.  Please let us know.
  5109 
  5110 
  5111 *** HOLCF ***
  5112 
  5113 * Reimplemented the simplification procedure for proving continuity
  5114 subgoals.  The new simproc is extensible; users can declare additional
  5115 continuity introduction rules with the attribute [cont2cont].
  5116 
  5117 * The continuity simproc now uses a different introduction rule for
  5118 solving continuity subgoals on terms with lambda abstractions.  In
  5119 some rare cases the new simproc may fail to solve subgoals that the
  5120 old one could solve, and "simp add: cont2cont_LAM" may be necessary.
  5121 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5122 
  5123 * Command 'fixrec': specification syntax now conforms to the general
  5124 format as seen in 'inductive' etc.  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  5125 examples.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5126 
  5127 
  5128 *** ZF ***
  5129 
  5130 * Proof of Zorn's Lemma for partial orders.
  5131 
  5132 
  5133 *** ML ***
  5134 
  5135 * Multithreading for Poly/ML 5.1/5.2 is no longer supported, only for
  5136 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.  Important note: the TimeLimit facility
  5137 depends on multithreading, so timouts will not work before Poly/ML
  5138 5.2.1!
  5139 
  5140 * High-level support for concurrent ML programming, see
  5141 src/Pure/Cuncurrent.  The data-oriented model of "future values" is
  5142 particularly convenient to organize independent functional
  5143 computations.  The concept of "synchronized variables" provides a
  5144 higher-order interface for components with shared state, avoiding the
  5145 delicate details of mutexes and condition variables.  (Requires
  5146 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  5147 
  5148 * ML bindings produced via Isar commands are stored within the Isar
  5149 context (theory or proof).  Consequently, commands like 'use' and 'ML'
  5150 become thread-safe and work with undo as expected (concerning
  5151 top-level bindings, not side-effects on global references).
  5152 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to provide proper Isar context when invoking the
  5153 compiler at runtime; really global bindings need to be given outside a
  5154 theory.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  5155 
  5156 * Command 'ML_prf' is analogous to 'ML' but works within a proof
  5157 context.  Top-level ML bindings are stored within the proof context in
  5158 a purely sequential fashion, disregarding the nested proof structure.
  5159 ML bindings introduced by 'ML_prf' are discarded at the end of the
  5160 proof.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  5161 
  5162 * Simplified ML attribute and method setup, cf. functions Attrib.setup
  5163 and Method.setup, as well as Isar commands 'attribute_setup' and
  5164 'method_setup'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for 'method_setup', need to simplify
  5165 existing code accordingly, or use plain 'setup' together with old
  5166 Method.add_method.
  5167 
  5168 * Simplified ML oracle interface Thm.add_oracle promotes 'a -> cterm
  5169 to 'a -> thm, while results are always tagged with an authentic oracle
  5170 name.  The Isar command 'oracle' is now polymorphic, no argument type
  5171 is specified.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify existing oracle code
  5172 accordingly.  Note that extra performance may be gained by producing
  5173 the cterm carefully, avoiding slow Thm.cterm_of.
  5174 
  5175 * Simplified interface for defining document antiquotations via
  5176 ThyOutput.antiquotation, ThyOutput.output, and optionally
  5177 ThyOutput.maybe_pretty_source.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify user
  5178 antiquotations accordingly, see src/Pure/Thy/thy_output.ML for common
  5179 examples.
  5180 
  5181 * More systematic treatment of long names, abstract name bindings, and
  5182 name space operations.  Basic operations on qualified names have been
  5183 move from structure NameSpace to Long_Name, e.g. Long_Name.base_name,
  5184 Long_Name.append.  Old type bstring has been mostly replaced by
  5185 abstract type binding (see structure Binding), which supports precise
  5186 qualification by packages and local theory targets, as well as proper
  5187 tracking of source positions.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to wrap old
  5188 bstring values into Binding.name, or better pass through abstract
  5189 bindings everywhere.  See further src/Pure/General/long_name.ML,
  5190 src/Pure/General/binding.ML and src/Pure/General/name_space.ML
  5191 
  5192 * Result facts (from PureThy.note_thms, ProofContext.note_thms,
  5193 LocalTheory.note etc.) now refer to the *full* internal name, not the
  5194 bstring as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY, not detected by ML type-checking!
  5195 
  5196 * Disposed old type and term read functions (Sign.read_def_typ,
  5197 Sign.read_typ, Sign.read_def_terms, Sign.read_term,
  5198 Thm.read_def_cterms, Thm.read_cterm etc.).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should
  5199 use regular Syntax.read_typ, Syntax.read_term, Syntax.read_typ_global,
  5200 Syntax.read_term_global etc.; see also OldGoals.read_term as last
  5201 resort for legacy applications.
  5202 
  5203 * Disposed old declarations, tactics, tactic combinators that refer to
  5204 the simpset or claset of an implicit theory (such as Addsimps,
  5205 Simp_tac, SIMPSET).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should use @{simpset} etc. in
  5206 embedded ML text, or local_simpset_of with a proper context passed as
  5207 explicit runtime argument.
  5208 
  5209 * Rules and tactics that read instantiations (read_instantiate,
  5210 res_inst_tac, thin_tac, subgoal_tac etc.) now demand a proper proof
  5211 context, which is required for parsing and type-checking.  Moreover,
  5212 the variables are specified as plain indexnames, not string encodings
  5213 thereof.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5214 
  5215 * Generic Toplevel.add_hook interface allows to analyze the result of
  5216 transactions.  E.g. see src/Pure/ProofGeneral/proof_general_pgip.ML
  5217 for theorem dependency output of transactions resulting in a new
  5218 theory state.
  5219 
  5220 * ML antiquotations: block-structured compilation context indicated by
  5221 \<lbrace> ... \<rbrace>; additional antiquotation forms:
  5222 
  5223   @{binding name}                         - basic name binding
  5224   @{let ?pat = term}                      - term abbreviation (HO matching)
  5225   @{note name = fact}                     - fact abbreviation
  5226   @{thm fact}                             - singleton fact (with attributes)
  5227   @{thms fact}                            - general fact (with attributes)
  5228   @{lemma prop by method}                 - singleton goal
  5229   @{lemma prop by meth1 meth2}            - singleton goal
  5230   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by method}      - general goal
  5231   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by meth1 meth2} - general goal
  5232   @{lemma (open) ...}                     - open derivation
  5233 
  5234 
  5235 *** System ***
  5236 
  5237 * The Isabelle "emacs" tool provides a specific interface to invoke
  5238 Proof General / Emacs, with more explicit failure if that is not
  5239 installed (the old isabelle-interface script silently falls back on
  5240 isabelle-process).  The PROOFGENERAL_HOME setting determines the
  5241 installation location of the Proof General distribution.
  5242 
  5243 * Isabelle/lib/classes/Pure.jar provides basic support to integrate
  5244 the Isabelle process into a JVM/Scala application.  See
  5245 Isabelle/lib/jedit/plugin for a minimal example.  (The obsolete Java
  5246 process wrapper has been discontinued.)
  5247 
  5248 * Added homegrown Isabelle font with unicode layout, see lib/fonts.
  5249 
  5250 * Various status messages (with exact source position information) are
  5251 emitted, if proper markup print mode is enabled.  This allows
  5252 user-interface components to provide detailed feedback on internal
  5253 prover operations.
  5254 
  5255 
  5256 
  5257 New in Isabelle2008 (June 2008)
  5258 -------------------------------
  5259 
  5260 *** General ***
  5261 
  5262 * The Isabelle/Isar Reference Manual (isar-ref) has been reorganized
  5263 and updated, with formally checked references as hyperlinks.
  5264 
  5265 * Theory loader: use_thy (and similar operations) no longer set the
  5266 implicit ML context, which was occasionally hard to predict and in
  5267 conflict with concurrency.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML within Isar which
  5268 provides a proper context already.
  5269 
  5270 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  5271 file are no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, regular 'uses' and
  5272 'use' within a theory file will do the job.
  5273 
  5274 * Name space merge now observes canonical order, i.e. the second space
  5275 is inserted into the first one, while existing entries in the first
  5276 space take precedence.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, may try to
  5277 swap theory imports.
  5278 
  5279 * Syntax: symbol \<chi> is now considered a letter.  Potential
  5280 INCOMPATIBILITY in identifier syntax etc.
  5281 
  5282 * Outer syntax: string tokens no longer admit escaped white space,
  5283 which was an accidental (undocumented) feature.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5284 white space without escapes.
  5285 
  5286 * Outer syntax: string tokens may contain arbitrary character codes
  5287 specified via 3 decimal digits (as in SML).  E.g. "foo\095bar" for
  5288 "foo_bar".
  5289 
  5290 
  5291 *** Pure ***
  5292 
  5293 * Context-dependent token translations.  Default setup reverts locally
  5294 fixed variables, and adds hilite markup for undeclared frees.
  5295 
  5296 * Unused theorems can be found using the new command 'unused_thms'.
  5297 There are three ways of invoking it:
  5298 
  5299 (1) unused_thms
  5300      Only finds unused theorems in the current theory.
  5301 
  5302 (2) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n -
  5303      Finds unused theorems in the current theory and all of its ancestors,
  5304      excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of their ancestors.
  5305 
  5306 (3) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n - thy'_1 ... thy'_m
  5307      Finds unused theorems in the theories thy'_1 ... thy'_m and all of
  5308      their ancestors, excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of
  5309      their ancestors.
  5310 
  5311 In order to increase the readability of the list produced by
  5312 unused_thms, theorems that have been created by a particular instance
  5313 of a theory command such as 'inductive' or 'function' are considered
  5314 to belong to the same "group", meaning that if at least one theorem in
  5315 this group is used, the other theorems in the same group are no longer
  5316 reported as unused.  Moreover, if all theorems in the group are
  5317 unused, only one theorem in the group is displayed.
  5318 
  5319 Note that proof objects have to be switched on in order for
  5320 unused_thms to work properly (i.e. !proofs must be >= 1, which is
  5321 usually the case when using Proof General with the default settings).
  5322 
  5323 * Authentic naming of facts disallows ad-hoc overwriting of previous
  5324 theorems within the same name space.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to remove
  5325 duplicate fact bindings, or even accidental fact duplications.  Note
  5326 that tools may maintain dynamically scoped facts systematically, using
  5327 PureThy.add_thms_dynamic.
  5328 
  5329 * Command 'hide' now allows to hide from "fact" name space as well.
  5330 
  5331 * Eliminated destructive theorem database, simpset, claset, and
  5332 clasimpset.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, really need to observe linear
  5333 update of theories within ML code.
  5334 
  5335 * Eliminated theory ProtoPure and CPure, leaving just one Pure theory.
  5336 INCOMPATIBILITY, object-logics depending on former Pure require
  5337 additional setup PureThy.old_appl_syntax_setup; object-logics
  5338 depending on former CPure need to refer to Pure.
  5339 
  5340 * Commands 'use' and 'ML' are now purely functional, operating on
  5341 theory/local_theory.  Removed former 'ML_setup' (on theory), use 'ML'
  5342 instead.  Added 'ML_val' as mere diagnostic replacement for 'ML'.
  5343 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5344 
  5345 * Command 'setup': discontinued implicit version with ML reference.
  5346 
  5347 * Instantiation target allows for simultaneous specification of class
  5348 instance operations together with an instantiation proof.
  5349 Type-checking phase allows to refer to class operations uniformly.
  5350 See src/HOL/Complex/Complex.thy for an Isar example and
  5351 src/HOL/Library/Eval.thy for an ML example.
  5352 
  5353 * Indexing of literal facts: be more serious about including only
  5354 facts from the visible specification/proof context, but not the
  5355 background context (locale etc.).  Affects `prop` notation and method
  5356 "fact".  INCOMPATIBILITY: need to name facts explicitly in rare
  5357 situations.
  5358 
  5359 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": removed obsolete/undocumented
  5360 "(open)" option, which used to expose internal bound variables to the
  5361 proof text.
  5362 
  5363 * Isar statements: removed obsolete case "rule_context".
  5364 INCOMPATIBILITY, better use explicit fixes/assumes.
  5365 
  5366 * Locale proofs: default proof step now includes 'unfold_locales';
  5367 hence 'proof' without argument may be used to unfold locale
  5368 predicates.
  5369 
  5370 
  5371 *** Document preparation ***
  5372 
  5373 * Simplified pdfsetup.sty: color/hyperref is used unconditionally for
  5374 both pdf and dvi (hyperlinks usually work in xdvi as well); removed
  5375 obsolete thumbpdf setup (contemporary PDF viewers do this on the
  5376 spot); renamed link color from "darkblue" to "linkcolor" (default
  5377 value unchanged, can be redefined via \definecolor); no longer sets
  5378 "a4paper" option (unnecessary or even intrusive).
  5379 
  5380 * Antiquotation @{lemma A method} proves proposition A by the given
  5381 method (either a method name or a method name plus (optional) method
  5382 arguments in parentheses) and prints A just like @{prop A}.
  5383 
  5384 
  5385 *** HOL ***
  5386 
  5387 * New primrec package.  Specification syntax conforms in style to
  5388 definition/function/....  No separate induction rule is provided.  The
  5389 "primrec" command distinguishes old-style and new-style specifications
  5390 by syntax.  The former primrec package is now named OldPrimrecPackage.
  5391 When adjusting theories, beware: constants stemming from new-style
  5392 primrec specifications have authentic syntax.
  5393 
  5394 * Metis prover is now an order of magnitude faster, and also works
  5395 with multithreading.
  5396 
  5397 * Metis: the maximum number of clauses that can be produced from a
  5398 theorem is now given by the attribute max_clauses.  Theorems that
  5399 exceed this number are ignored, with a warning printed.
  5400 
  5401 * Sledgehammer no longer produces structured proofs by default. To
  5402 enable, declare [[sledgehammer_full = true]].  Attributes
  5403 reconstruction_modulus, reconstruction_sorts renamed
  5404 sledgehammer_modulus, sledgehammer_sorts.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5405 
  5406 * Method "induct_scheme" derives user-specified induction rules
  5407 from well-founded induction and completeness of patterns. This factors
  5408 out some operations that are done internally by the function package
  5409 and makes them available separately.  See
  5410 src/HOL/ex/Induction_Scheme.thy for examples.
  5411 
  5412 * More flexible generation of measure functions for termination
  5413 proofs: Measure functions can be declared by proving a rule of the
  5414 form "is_measure f" and giving it the [measure_function] attribute.
  5415 The "is_measure" predicate is logically meaningless (always true), and
  5416 just guides the heuristic.  To find suitable measure functions, the
  5417 termination prover sets up the goal "is_measure ?f" of the appropriate
  5418 type and generates all solutions by prolog-style backwards proof using
  5419 the declared rules.
  5420 
  5421 This setup also deals with rules like 
  5422 
  5423   "is_measure f ==> is_measure (list_size f)"
  5424 
  5425 which accommodates nested datatypes that recurse through lists.
  5426 Similar rules are predeclared for products and option types.
  5427 
  5428 * Turned the type of sets "'a set" into an abbreviation for "'a => bool"
  5429 
  5430   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  5431 
  5432   - Definitions of overloaded constants on sets have to be replaced by
  5433     definitions on => and bool.
  5434 
  5435   - Some definitions of overloaded operators on sets can now be proved
  5436     using the definitions of the operators on => and bool.  Therefore,
  5437     the following theorems have been renamed:
  5438 
  5439       subset_def   -> subset_eq
  5440       psubset_def  -> psubset_eq
  5441       set_diff_def -> set_diff_eq
  5442       Compl_def    -> Compl_eq
  5443       Sup_set_def  -> Sup_set_eq
  5444       Inf_set_def  -> Inf_set_eq
  5445       sup_set_def  -> sup_set_eq
  5446       inf_set_def  -> inf_set_eq
  5447 
  5448   - Due to the incompleteness of the HO unification algorithm, some
  5449     rules such as subst may require manual instantiation, if some of
  5450     the unknowns in the rule is a set.
  5451 
  5452   - Higher order unification and forward proofs:
  5453     The proof pattern
  5454 
  5455       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5456       then have "EX S. P S" ..
  5457 
  5458     no longer works (due to the incompleteness of the HO unification
  5459     algorithm) and must be replaced by the pattern
  5460 
  5461       have "EX S. P S"
  5462       proof
  5463         show "P S" <...>
  5464       qed
  5465 
  5466   - Calculational reasoning with subst (or similar rules):
  5467     The proof pattern
  5468 
  5469       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5470       also have "S = T" <...>
  5471       finally have "P T" .
  5472 
  5473     no longer works (for similar reasons as the previous example) and
  5474     must be replaced by something like
  5475 
  5476       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5477       moreover have "S = T" <...>
  5478       ultimately have "P T" by simp
  5479 
  5480   - Tactics or packages written in ML code:
  5481     Code performing pattern matching on types via
  5482 
  5483       Type ("set", [T]) => ...
  5484 
  5485     must be rewritten. Moreover, functions like strip_type or
  5486     binder_types no longer return the right value when applied to a
  5487     type of the form
  5488 
  5489       T1 => ... => Tn => U => bool
  5490 
  5491     rather than
  5492 
  5493       T1 => ... => Tn => U set
  5494 
  5495 * Merged theories Wellfounded_Recursion, Accessible_Part and
  5496 Wellfounded_Relations to theory Wellfounded.
  5497 
  5498 * Explicit class "eq" for executable equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5499 
  5500 * Class finite no longer treats UNIV as class parameter.  Use class
  5501 enum from theory Library/Enum instead to achieve a similar effect.
  5502 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5503 
  5504 * Theory List: rule list_induct2 now has explicitly named cases "Nil"
  5505 and "Cons".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5506 
  5507 * HOL (and FOL): renamed variables in rules imp_elim and swap.
  5508 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5509 
  5510 * Theory Product_Type: duplicated lemmas split_Pair_apply and
  5511 injective_fst_snd removed, use split_eta and prod_eqI instead.
  5512 Renamed upd_fst to apfst and upd_snd to apsnd.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5513 
  5514 * Theory Nat: removed redundant lemmas that merely duplicate lemmas of
  5515 the same name in theory Orderings:
  5516 
  5517   less_trans
  5518   less_linear
  5519   le_imp_less_or_eq
  5520   le_less_trans
  5521   less_le_trans
  5522   less_not_sym
  5523   less_asym
  5524 
  5525 Renamed less_imp_le to less_imp_le_nat, and less_irrefl to
  5526 less_irrefl_nat.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to more general types
  5527 and different variable names.
  5528 
  5529 * Library/Option_ord.thy: Canonical order on option type.
  5530 
  5531 * Library/RBT.thy: Red-black trees, an efficient implementation of
  5532 finite maps.
  5533 
  5534 * Library/Countable.thy: Type class for countable types.
  5535 
  5536 * Theory Int: The representation of numerals has changed.  The infix
  5537 operator BIT and the bit datatype with constructors B0 and B1 have
  5538 disappeared.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "Int.Bit0 x" and "Int.Bit1 y" in
  5539 place of "x BIT bit.B0" and "y BIT bit.B1", respectively.  Theorems
  5540 involving BIT, B0, or B1 have been renamed with "Bit0" or "Bit1"
  5541 accordingly.
  5542 
  5543 * Theory Nat: definition of <= and < on natural numbers no longer
  5544 depend on well-founded relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Definitions
  5545 le_def and less_def have disappeared.  Consider lemmas not_less
  5546 [symmetric, where ?'a = nat] and less_eq [symmetric] instead.
  5547 
  5548 * Theory Finite_Set: locales ACf, ACe, ACIf, ACIfSL and ACIfSLlin
  5549 (whose purpose mainly is for various fold_set functionals) have been
  5550 abandoned in favor of the existing algebraic classes
  5551 ab_semigroup_mult, comm_monoid_mult, ab_semigroup_idem_mult,
  5552 lower_semilattice (resp. upper_semilattice) and linorder.
  5553 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5554 
  5555 * Theory Transitive_Closure: induct and cases rules now declare proper
  5556 case_names ("base" and "step").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5557 
  5558 * Theorem Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct generalized to complete
  5559 lattices.  The form set-specific version is available as
  5560 Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct_set.
  5561 
  5562 * Renamed theorems "power.simps" to "power_int.simps".
  5563 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5564 
  5565 * Class semiring_div provides basic abstract properties of semirings
  5566 with division and modulo operations.  Subsumes former class dvd_mod.
  5567 
  5568 * Merged theories IntDef, Numeral and IntArith into unified theory
  5569 Int.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5570 
  5571 * Theory Library/Code_Index: type "index" now represents natural
  5572 numbers rather than integers.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5573 
  5574 * New class "uminus" with operation "uminus" (split of from class
  5575 "minus" which now only has operation "minus", binary).
  5576 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5577 
  5578 * Constants "card", "internal_split", "option_map" now with authentic
  5579 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5580 
  5581 * Definitions subset_def, psubset_def, set_diff_def, Compl_def,
  5582 le_bool_def, less_bool_def, le_fun_def, less_fun_def, inf_bool_def,
  5583 sup_bool_def, Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, inf_fun_def, sup_fun_def,
  5584 Inf_fun_def, Sup_fun_def, inf_set_def, sup_set_def, Inf_set_def,
  5585 Sup_set_def, le_def, less_def, option_map_def now with object
  5586 equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5587 
  5588 * Records. Removed K_record, and replaced it by pure lambda term
  5589 %x. c. The simplifier setup is now more robust against eta expansion.
  5590 INCOMPATIBILITY: in cases explicitly referring to K_record.
  5591 
  5592 * Library/Multiset: {#a, b, c#} abbreviates {#a#} + {#b#} + {#c#}.
  5593 
  5594 * Library/ListVector: new theory of arithmetic vector operations.
  5595 
  5596 * Library/Order_Relation: new theory of various orderings as sets of
  5597 pairs.  Defines preorders, partial orders, linear orders and
  5598 well-orders on sets and on types.
  5599 
  5600 
  5601 *** ZF ***
  5602 
  5603 * Renamed some theories to allow to loading both ZF and HOL in the
  5604 same session:
  5605 
  5606   Datatype  -> Datatype_ZF
  5607   Inductive -> Inductive_ZF
  5608   Int       -> Int_ZF
  5609   IntDiv    -> IntDiv_ZF
  5610   Nat       -> Nat_ZF
  5611   List      -> List_ZF
  5612   Main      -> Main_ZF
  5613 
  5614 INCOMPATIBILITY: ZF theories that import individual theories below
  5615 Main might need to be adapted.  Regular theory Main is still
  5616 available, as trivial extension of Main_ZF.
  5617 
  5618 
  5619 *** ML ***
  5620 
  5621 * ML within Isar: antiquotation @{const name} or @{const
  5622 name(typargs)} produces statically-checked Const term.
  5623 
  5624 * Functor NamedThmsFun: data is available to the user as dynamic fact
  5625 (of the same name).  Removed obsolete print command.
  5626 
  5627 * Removed obsolete "use_legacy_bindings" function.
  5628 
  5629 * The ``print mode'' is now a thread-local value derived from a global
  5630 template (the former print_mode reference), thus access becomes
  5631 non-critical.  The global print_mode reference is for session
  5632 management only; user-code should use print_mode_value,
  5633 print_mode_active, PrintMode.setmp etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5634 
  5635 * Functions system/system_out provide a robust way to invoke external
  5636 shell commands, with propagation of interrupts (requires Poly/ML
  5637 5.2.1).  Do not use OS.Process.system etc. from the basis library!
  5638 
  5639 
  5640 *** System ***
  5641 
  5642 * Default settings: PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS no longer impose xemacs ---
  5643 in accordance with Proof General 3.7, which prefers GNU emacs.
  5644 
  5645 * isatool tty runs Isabelle process with plain tty interaction;
  5646 optional line editor may be specified via ISABELLE_LINE_EDITOR
  5647 setting, the default settings attempt to locate "ledit" and "rlwrap".
  5648 
  5649 * isatool browser now works with Cygwin as well, using general
  5650 "javapath" function defined in Isabelle process environment.
  5651 
  5652 * YXML notation provides a simple and efficient alternative to
  5653 standard XML transfer syntax.  See src/Pure/General/yxml.ML and
  5654 isatool yxml as described in the Isabelle system manual.
  5655 
  5656 * JVM class isabelle.IsabelleProcess (located in Isabelle/lib/classes)
  5657 provides general wrapper for managing an Isabelle process in a robust
  5658 fashion, with ``cooked'' output from stdin/stderr.
  5659 
  5660 * Rudimentary Isabelle plugin for jEdit (see Isabelle/lib/jedit),
  5661 based on Isabelle/JVM process wrapper (see Isabelle/lib/classes).
  5662 
  5663 * Removed obsolete THIS_IS_ISABELLE_BUILD feature.  NB: the documented
  5664 way of changing the user's settings is via
  5665 ISABELLE_HOME_USER/etc/settings, which is a fully featured bash
  5666 script.
  5667 
  5668 * Multithreading.max_threads := 0 refers to the number of actual CPU
  5669 cores of the underlying machine, which is a good starting point for
  5670 optimal performance tuning.  The corresponding usedir option -M allows
  5671 "max" as an alias for "0".  WARNING: does not work on certain versions
  5672 of Mac OS (with Poly/ML 5.1).
  5673 
  5674 * isabelle-process: non-ML sessions are run with "nice", to reduce the
  5675 adverse effect of Isabelle flooding interactive front-ends (notably
  5676 ProofGeneral / XEmacs).
  5677 
  5678 
  5679 
  5680 New in Isabelle2007 (November 2007)
  5681 -----------------------------------
  5682 
  5683 *** General ***
  5684 
  5685 * More uniform information about legacy features, notably a
  5686 warning/error of "Legacy feature: ...", depending on the state of the
  5687 tolerate_legacy_features flag (default true). FUTURE INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5688 legacy features will disappear eventually.
  5689 
  5690 * Theory syntax: the header format ``theory A = B + C:'' has been
  5691 discontinued in favour of ``theory A imports B C begin''.  Use isatool
  5692 fixheaders to convert existing theory files.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5693 
  5694 * Theory syntax: the old non-Isar theory file format has been
  5695 discontinued altogether.  Note that ML proof scripts may still be used
  5696 with Isar theories; migration is usually quite simple with the ML
  5697 function use_legacy_bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5698 
  5699 * Theory syntax: some popular names (e.g. 'class', 'declaration',
  5700 'fun', 'help', 'if') are now keywords.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use double
  5701 quotes.
  5702 
  5703 * Theory loader: be more serious about observing the static theory
  5704 header specifications (including optional directories), but not the
  5705 accidental file locations of previously successful loads.  The strict
  5706 update policy of former update_thy is now already performed by
  5707 use_thy, so the former has been removed; use_thys updates several
  5708 theories simultaneously, just as 'imports' within a theory header
  5709 specification, but without merging the results.  Potential
  5710 INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to refine theory headers and commands
  5711 ROOT.ML which depend on load order.
  5712 
  5713 * Theory loader: optional support for content-based file
  5714 identification, instead of the traditional scheme of full physical
  5715 path plus date stamp; configured by the ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT setting
  5716 (cf. the system manual).  The new scheme allows to work with
  5717 non-finished theories in persistent session images, such that source
  5718 files may be moved later on without requiring reloads.
  5719 
  5720 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  5721 file (with the same base name as the theory) are considered a legacy
  5722 feature, which will disappear eventually. Even now, the theory loader
  5723 no longer maintains dependencies on such files.
  5724 
  5725 * Syntax: the scope for resolving ambiguities via type-inference is
  5726 now limited to individual terms, instead of whole simultaneous
  5727 specifications as before. This greatly reduces the complexity of the
  5728 syntax module and improves flexibility by separating parsing and
  5729 type-checking. INCOMPATIBILITY: additional type-constraints (explicit
  5730 'fixes' etc.) are required in rare situations.
  5731 
  5732 * Syntax: constants introduced by new-style packages ('definition',
  5733 'abbreviation' etc.) are passed through the syntax module in
  5734 ``authentic mode''. This means that associated mixfix annotations
  5735 really stick to such constants, independently of potential name space
  5736 ambiguities introduced later on. INCOMPATIBILITY: constants in parse
  5737 trees are represented slightly differently, may need to adapt syntax
  5738 translations accordingly. Use CONST marker in 'translations' and
  5739 @{const_syntax} antiquotation in 'parse_translation' etc.
  5740 
  5741 * Legacy goal package: reduced interface to the bare minimum required
  5742 to keep existing proof scripts running.  Most other user-level
  5743 functions are now part of the OldGoals structure, which is *not* open
  5744 by default (consider isatool expandshort before open OldGoals).
  5745 Removed top_sg, prin, printyp, pprint_term/typ altogether, because
  5746 these tend to cause confusion about the actual goal (!) context being
  5747 used here, which is not necessarily the same as the_context().
  5748 
  5749 * Command 'find_theorems': supports "*" wild-card in "name:"
  5750 criterion; "with_dups" option.  Certain ProofGeneral versions might
  5751 support a specific search form (see ProofGeneral/CHANGES).
  5752 
  5753 * The ``prems limit'' option (cf. ProofContext.prems_limit) is now -1
  5754 by default, which means that "prems" (and also "fixed variables") are
  5755 suppressed from proof state output.  Note that the ProofGeneral
  5756 settings mechanism allows to change and save options persistently, but
  5757 older versions of Isabelle will fail to start up if a negative prems
  5758 limit is imposed.
  5759 
  5760 * Local theory targets may be specified by non-nested blocks of
  5761 ``context/locale/class ... begin'' followed by ``end''.  The body may
  5762 contain definitions, theorems etc., including any derived mechanism
  5763 that has been implemented on top of these primitives.  This concept
  5764 generalizes the existing ``theorem (in ...)'' towards more versatility
  5765 and scalability.
  5766 
  5767 * Proof General interface: proper undo of final 'end' command;
  5768 discontinued Isabelle/classic mode (ML proof scripts).
  5769 
  5770 
  5771 *** Document preparation ***
  5772 
  5773 * Added antiquotation @{theory name} which prints the given name,
  5774 after checking that it refers to a valid ancestor theory in the
  5775 current context.
  5776 
  5777 * Added antiquotations @{ML_type text} and @{ML_struct text} which
  5778 check the given source text as ML type/structure, printing verbatim.
  5779 
  5780 * Added antiquotation @{abbrev "c args"} which prints the abbreviation
  5781 "c args == rhs" given in the current context.  (Any number of
  5782 arguments may be given on the LHS.)
  5783 
  5784 
  5785 *** Pure ***
  5786 
  5787 * The 'class' package offers a combination of axclass and locale to
  5788 achieve Haskell-like type classes in Isabelle.  Definitions and
  5789 theorems within a class context produce both relative results (with
  5790 implicit parameters according to the locale context), and polymorphic
  5791 constants with qualified polymorphism (according to the class
  5792 context).  Within the body context of a 'class' target, a separate
  5793 syntax layer ("user space type system") takes care of converting
  5794 between global polymorphic consts and internal locale representation.
  5795 See src/HOL/ex/Classpackage.thy for examples (as well as main HOL).
  5796 "isatool doc classes" provides a tutorial.
  5797 
  5798 * Generic code generator framework allows to generate executable
  5799 code for ML and Haskell (including Isabelle classes).  A short usage
  5800 sketch:
  5801 
  5802     internal compilation:
  5803         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML
  5804     writing SML code to a file:
  5805         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML <filename>
  5806     writing OCaml code to a file:
  5807         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in OCaml <filename>
  5808     writing Haskell code to a bunch of files:
  5809         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in Haskell <filename>
  5810 
  5811     evaluating closed propositions to True/False using code generation:
  5812         method ``eval''
  5813 
  5814 Reasonable default setup of framework in HOL.
  5815 
  5816 Theorem attributs for selecting and transforming function equations theorems:
  5817 
  5818     [code fun]:        select a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  5819     [code fun del]:    deselect a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  5820     [code inline]:     select an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  5821     [code inline del]: deselect an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  5822 
  5823 User-defined serializations (target in {SML, OCaml, Haskell}):
  5824 
  5825     code_const <and-list of constants (term syntax)>
  5826       {(target) <and-list of const target syntax>}+
  5827 
  5828     code_type <and-list of type constructors>
  5829       {(target) <and-list of type target syntax>}+
  5830 
  5831     code_instance <and-list of instances>
  5832       {(target)}+
  5833         where instance ::= <type constructor> :: <class>
  5834 
  5835     code_class <and_list of classes>
  5836       {(target) <and-list of class target syntax>}+
  5837         where class target syntax ::= <class name> {where {<classop> == <target syntax>}+}?
  5838 
  5839 code_instance and code_class only are effective to target Haskell.
  5840 
  5841 For example usage see src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator.thy and
  5842 src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator_Pretty.thy.  A separate tutorial on code
  5843 generation from Isabelle/HOL theories is available via "isatool doc
  5844 codegen".
  5845 
  5846 * Code generator: consts in 'consts_code' Isar commands are now
  5847 referred to by usual term syntax (including optional type
  5848 annotations).
  5849 
  5850 * Command 'no_translations' removes translation rules from theory
  5851 syntax.
  5852 
  5853 * Overloaded definitions are now actually checked for acyclic
  5854 dependencies.  The overloading scheme is slightly more general than
  5855 that of Haskell98, although Isabelle does not demand an exact
  5856 correspondence to type class and instance declarations.
  5857 INCOMPATIBILITY, use ``defs (unchecked overloaded)'' to admit more
  5858 exotic versions of overloading -- at the discretion of the user!
  5859 
  5860 Polymorphic constants are represented via type arguments, i.e. the
  5861 instantiation that matches an instance against the most general
  5862 declaration given in the signature.  For example, with the declaration
  5863 c :: 'a => 'a => 'a, an instance c :: nat => nat => nat is represented
  5864 as c(nat).  Overloading is essentially simultaneous structural
  5865 recursion over such type arguments.  Incomplete specification patterns
  5866 impose global constraints on all occurrences, e.g. c('a * 'a) on the
  5867 LHS means that more general c('a * 'b) will be disallowed on any RHS.
  5868 Command 'print_theory' outputs the normalized system of recursive
  5869 equations, see section "definitions".
  5870 
  5871 * Configuration options are maintained within the theory or proof
  5872 context (with name and type bool/int/string), providing a very simple
  5873 interface to a poor-man's version of general context data.  Tools may
  5874 declare options in ML (e.g. using Attrib.config_int) and then refer to
  5875 these values using Config.get etc.  Users may change options via an
  5876 associated attribute of the same name.  This form of context
  5877 declaration works particularly well with commands 'declare' or
  5878 'using', for example ``declare [[foo = 42]]''.  Thus it has become
  5879 very easy to avoid global references, which would not observe Isar
  5880 toplevel undo/redo and fail to work with multithreading.
  5881 
  5882 Various global ML references of Pure and HOL have been turned into
  5883 configuration options:
  5884 
  5885   Unify.search_bound		unify_search_bound
  5886   Unify.trace_bound		unify_trace_bound
  5887   Unify.trace_simp		unify_trace_simp
  5888   Unify.trace_types		unify_trace_types
  5889   Simplifier.simp_depth_limit	simp_depth_limit
  5890   Blast.depth_limit		blast_depth_limit
  5891   DatatypeProp.dtK		datatype_distinctness_limit
  5892   fast_arith_neq_limit  	fast_arith_neq_limit
  5893   fast_arith_split_limit	fast_arith_split_limit
  5894 
  5895 * Named collections of theorems may be easily installed as context
  5896 data using the functor NamedThmsFun (see also
  5897 src/Pure/Tools/named_thms.ML).  The user may add or delete facts via
  5898 attributes; there is also a toplevel print command.  This facility is
  5899 just a common case of general context data, which is the preferred way
  5900 for anything more complex than just a list of facts in canonical
  5901 order.
  5902 
  5903 * Isar: command 'declaration' augments a local theory by generic
  5904 declaration functions written in ML.  This enables arbitrary content
  5905 being added to the context, depending on a morphism that tells the
  5906 difference of the original declaration context wrt. the application
  5907 context encountered later on.
  5908 
  5909 * Isar: proper interfaces for simplification procedures.  Command
  5910 'simproc_setup' declares named simprocs (with match patterns, and body
  5911 text in ML).  Attribute "simproc" adds/deletes simprocs in the current
  5912 context.  ML antiquotation @{simproc name} retrieves named simprocs.
  5913 
  5914 * Isar: an extra pair of brackets around attribute declarations
  5915 abbreviates a theorem reference involving an internal dummy fact,
  5916 which will be ignored later --- only the effect of the attribute on
  5917 the background context will persist.  This form of in-place
  5918 declarations is particularly useful with commands like 'declare' and
  5919 'using', for example ``have A using [[simproc a]] by simp''.
  5920 
  5921 * Isar: method "assumption" (and implicit closing of subproofs) now
  5922 takes simple non-atomic goal assumptions into account: after applying
  5923 an assumption as a rule the resulting subgoals are solved by atomic
  5924 assumption steps.  This is particularly useful to finish 'obtain'
  5925 goals, such as "!!x. (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> P x ==> thesis",
  5926 without referring to the original premise "!!x. P x ==> thesis" in the
  5927 Isar proof context.  POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY: method "assumption" is
  5928 more permissive.
  5929 
  5930 * Isar: implicit use of prems from the Isar proof context is
  5931 considered a legacy feature.  Common applications like ``have A .''
  5932 may be replaced by ``have A by fact'' or ``note `A`''.  In general,
  5933 referencing facts explicitly here improves readability and
  5934 maintainability of proof texts.
  5935 
  5936 * Isar: improper proof element 'guess' is like 'obtain', but derives
  5937 the obtained context from the course of reasoning!  For example:
  5938 
  5939   assume "EX x y. A x & B y"   -- "any previous fact"
  5940   then guess x and y by clarify
  5941 
  5942 This technique is potentially adventurous, depending on the facts and
  5943 proof tools being involved here.
  5944 
  5945 * Isar: known facts from the proof context may be specified as literal
  5946 propositions, using ASCII back-quote syntax.  This works wherever
  5947 named facts used to be allowed so far, in proof commands, proof
  5948 methods, attributes etc.  Literal facts are retrieved from the context
  5949 according to unification of type and term parameters.  For example,
  5950 provided that "A" and "A ==> B" and "!!x. P x ==> Q x" are known
  5951 theorems in the current context, then these are valid literal facts:
  5952 `A` and `A ==> B` and `!!x. P x ==> Q x" as well as `P a ==> Q a` etc.
  5953 
  5954 There is also a proof method "fact" which does the same composition
  5955 for explicit goal states, e.g. the following proof texts coincide with
  5956 certain special cases of literal facts:
  5957 
  5958   have "A" by fact                 ==  note `A`
  5959   have "A ==> B" by fact           ==  note `A ==> B`
  5960   have "!!x. P x ==> Q x" by fact  ==  note `!!x. P x ==> Q x`
  5961   have "P a ==> Q a" by fact       ==  note `P a ==> Q a`
  5962 
  5963 * Isar: ":" (colon) is no longer a symbolic identifier character in
  5964 outer syntax.  Thus symbolic identifiers may be used without
  5965 additional white space in declarations like this: ``assume *: A''.
  5966 
  5967 * Isar: 'print_facts' prints all local facts of the current context,
  5968 both named and unnamed ones.
  5969 
  5970 * Isar: 'def' now admits simultaneous definitions, e.g.:
  5971 
  5972   def x == "t" and y == "u"
  5973 
  5974 * Isar: added command 'unfolding', which is structurally similar to
  5975 'using', but affects both the goal state and facts by unfolding given
  5976 rewrite rules.  Thus many occurrences of the 'unfold' method or
  5977 'unfolded' attribute may be replaced by first-class proof text.
  5978 
  5979 * Isar: methods 'unfold' / 'fold', attributes 'unfolded' / 'folded',
  5980 and command 'unfolding' now all support object-level equalities
  5981 (potentially conditional).  The underlying notion of rewrite rule is
  5982 analogous to the 'rule_format' attribute, but *not* that of the
  5983 Simplifier (which is usually more generous).
  5984 
  5985 * Isar: the new attribute [rotated n] (default n = 1) rotates the
  5986 premises of a theorem by n. Useful in conjunction with drule.
  5987 
  5988 * Isar: the goal restriction operator [N] (default N = 1) evaluates a
  5989 method expression within a sandbox consisting of the first N
  5990 sub-goals, which need to exist.  For example, ``simp_all [3]''
  5991 simplifies the first three sub-goals, while (rule foo, simp_all)[]
  5992 simplifies all new goals that emerge from applying rule foo to the
  5993 originally first one.
  5994 
  5995 * Isar: schematic goals are no longer restricted to higher-order
  5996 patterns; e.g. ``lemma "?P(?x)" by (rule TrueI)'' now works as
  5997 expected.
  5998 
  5999 * Isar: the conclusion of a long theorem statement is now either
  6000 'shows' (a simultaneous conjunction, as before), or 'obtains'
  6001 (essentially a disjunction of cases with local parameters and
  6002 assumptions).  The latter allows to express general elimination rules
  6003 adequately; in this notation common elimination rules look like this:
  6004 
  6005   lemma exE:    -- "EX x. P x ==> (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6006     assumes "EX x. P x"
  6007     obtains x where "P x"
  6008 
  6009   lemma conjE:  -- "A & B ==> (A ==> B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6010     assumes "A & B"
  6011     obtains A and B
  6012 
  6013   lemma disjE:  -- "A | B ==> (A ==> thesis) ==> (B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6014     assumes "A | B"
  6015     obtains
  6016       A
  6017     | B
  6018 
  6019 The subsequent classical rules even refer to the formal "thesis"
  6020 explicitly:
  6021 
  6022   lemma classical:     -- "(~ thesis ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6023     obtains "~ thesis"
  6024 
  6025   lemma Peirce's_Law:  -- "((thesis ==> something) ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6026     obtains "thesis ==> something"
  6027 
  6028 The actual proof of an 'obtains' statement is analogous to that of the
  6029 Isar proof element 'obtain', only that there may be several cases.
  6030 Optional case names may be specified in parentheses; these will be
  6031 available both in the present proof and as annotations in the
  6032 resulting rule, for later use with the 'cases' method (cf. attribute
  6033 case_names).
  6034 
  6035 * Isar: the assumptions of a long theorem statement are available as
  6036 "assms" fact in the proof context.  This is more appropriate than the
  6037 (historical) "prems", which refers to all assumptions of the current
  6038 context, including those from the target locale, proof body etc.
  6039 
  6040 * Isar: 'print_statement' prints theorems from the current theory or
  6041 proof context in long statement form, according to the syntax of a
  6042 top-level lemma.
  6043 
  6044 * Isar: 'obtain' takes an optional case name for the local context
  6045 introduction rule (default "that").
  6046 
  6047 * Isar: removed obsolete 'concl is' patterns.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  6048 explicit (is "_ ==> ?foo") in the rare cases where this still happens
  6049 to occur.
  6050 
  6051 * Pure: syntax "CONST name" produces a fully internalized constant
  6052 according to the current context.  This is particularly useful for
  6053 syntax translations that should refer to internal constant
  6054 representations independently of name spaces.
  6055 
  6056 * Pure: syntax constant for foo (binder "FOO ") is called "foo_binder"
  6057 instead of "FOO ". This allows multiple binder declarations to coexist
  6058 in the same context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6059 
  6060 * Isar/locales: 'notation' provides a robust interface to the 'syntax'
  6061 primitive that also works in a locale context (both for constants and
  6062 fixed variables). Type declaration and internal syntactic representation
  6063 of given constants retrieved from the context. Likewise, the
  6064 'no_notation' command allows to remove given syntax annotations from the
  6065 current context.
  6066 
  6067 * Isar/locales: new derived specification elements 'axiomatization',
  6068 'definition', 'abbreviation', which support type-inference, admit
  6069 object-level specifications (equality, equivalence).  See also the
  6070 isar-ref manual.  Examples:
  6071 
  6072   axiomatization
  6073     eq  (infix "===" 50) where
  6074     eq_refl: "x === x" and eq_subst: "x === y ==> P x ==> P y"
  6075 
  6076   definition "f x y = x + y + 1"
  6077   definition g where "g x = f x x"
  6078 
  6079   abbreviation
  6080     neq  (infix "=!=" 50) where
  6081     "x =!= y == ~ (x === y)"
  6082 
  6083 These specifications may be also used in a locale context.  Then the
  6084 constants being introduced depend on certain fixed parameters, and the
  6085 constant name is qualified by the locale base name.  An internal
  6086 abbreviation takes care for convenient input and output, making the
  6087 parameters implicit and using the original short name.  See also
  6088 src/HOL/ex/Abstract_NAT.thy for an example of deriving polymorphic
  6089 entities from a monomorphic theory.
  6090 
  6091 Presently, abbreviations are only available 'in' a target locale, but
  6092 not inherited by general import expressions.  Also note that
  6093 'abbreviation' may be used as a type-safe replacement for 'syntax' +
  6094 'translations' in common applications.  The "no_abbrevs" print mode
  6095 prevents folding of abbreviations in term output.
  6096 
  6097 Concrete syntax is attached to specified constants in internal form,
  6098 independently of name spaces.  The parse tree representation is
  6099 slightly different -- use 'notation' instead of raw 'syntax', and
  6100 'translations' with explicit "CONST" markup to accommodate this.
  6101 
  6102 * Pure/Isar: unified syntax for new-style specification mechanisms
  6103 (e.g.  'definition', 'abbreviation', or 'inductive' in HOL) admits
  6104 full type inference and dummy patterns ("_").  For example:
  6105 
  6106   definition "K x _ = x"
  6107 
  6108   inductive conj for A B
  6109   where "A ==> B ==> conj A B"
  6110 
  6111 * Pure: command 'print_abbrevs' prints all constant abbreviations of
  6112 the current context.  Print mode "no_abbrevs" prevents inversion of
  6113 abbreviations on output.
  6114 
  6115 * Isar/locales: improved parameter handling: use of locales "var" and
  6116 "struct" no longer necessary; - parameter renamings are no longer
  6117 required to be injective.  For example, this allows to define
  6118 endomorphisms as locale endom = homom mult mult h.
  6119 
  6120 * Isar/locales: changed the way locales with predicates are defined.
  6121 Instead of accumulating the specification, the imported expression is
  6122 now an interpretation.  INCOMPATIBILITY: different normal form of
  6123 locale expressions.  In particular, in interpretations of locales with
  6124 predicates, goals repesenting already interpreted fragments are not
  6125 removed automatically.  Use methods `intro_locales' and
  6126 `unfold_locales'; see below.
  6127 
  6128 * Isar/locales: new methods `intro_locales' and `unfold_locales'
  6129 provide backward reasoning on locales predicates.  The methods are
  6130 aware of interpretations and discharge corresponding goals.
  6131 `intro_locales' is less aggressive then `unfold_locales' and does not
  6132 unfold predicates to assumptions.
  6133 
  6134 * Isar/locales: the order in which locale fragments are accumulated
  6135 has changed.  This enables to override declarations from fragments due
  6136 to interpretations -- for example, unwanted simp rules.
  6137 
  6138 * Isar/locales: interpretation in theories and proof contexts has been
  6139 extended.  One may now specify (and prove) equations, which are
  6140 unfolded in interpreted theorems.  This is useful for replacing
  6141 defined concepts (constants depending on locale parameters) by
  6142 concepts already existing in the target context.  Example:
  6143 
  6144   interpretation partial_order ["op <= :: [int, int] => bool"]
  6145     where "partial_order.less (op <=) (x::int) y = (x < y)"
  6146 
  6147 Typically, the constant `partial_order.less' is created by a
  6148 definition specification element in the context of locale
  6149 partial_order.
  6150 
  6151 * Method "induct": improved internal context management to support
  6152 local fixes and defines on-the-fly. Thus explicit meta-level
  6153 connectives !!  and ==> are rarely required anymore in inductive goals
  6154 (using object-logic connectives for this purpose has been long
  6155 obsolete anyway). Common proof patterns are explained in
  6156 src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, see also
  6157 src/HOL/Isar_examples/Puzzle.thy and src/HOL/Lambda for realistic
  6158 examples.
  6159 
  6160 * Method "induct": improved handling of simultaneous goals. Instead of
  6161 introducing object-level conjunction, the statement is now split into
  6162 several conclusions, while the corresponding symbolic cases are nested
  6163 accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY, proofs need to be structured explicitly,
  6164 see src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, for example.
  6165 
  6166 * Method "induct": mutual induction rules are now specified as a list
  6167 of rule sharing the same induction cases. HOL packages usually provide
  6168 foo_bar.inducts for mutually defined items foo and bar (e.g. inductive
  6169 predicates/sets or datatypes). INCOMPATIBILITY, users need to specify
  6170 mutual induction rules differently, i.e. like this:
  6171 
  6172   (induct rule: foo_bar.inducts)
  6173   (induct set: foo bar)
  6174   (induct pred: foo bar)
  6175   (induct type: foo bar)
  6176 
  6177 The ML function ProjectRule.projections turns old-style rules into the
  6178 new format.
  6179 
  6180 * Method "coinduct": dual of induction, see
  6181 src/HOL/Library/Coinductive_List.thy for various examples.
  6182 
  6183 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": the ``(open)'' option is
  6184 considered a legacy feature.
  6185 
  6186 * Attribute "symmetric" produces result with standardized schematic
  6187 variables (index 0).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6188 
  6189 * Simplifier: by default the simplifier trace only shows top level
  6190 rewrites now. That is, trace_simp_depth_limit is set to 1 by
  6191 default. Thus there is less danger of being flooded by the trace. The
  6192 trace indicates where parts have been suppressed.
  6193   
  6194 * Provers/classical: removed obsolete classical version of elim_format
  6195 attribute; classical elim/dest rules are now treated uniformly when
  6196 manipulating the claset.
  6197 
  6198 * Provers/classical: stricter checks to ensure that supplied intro,
  6199 dest and elim rules are well-formed; dest and elim rules must have at
  6200 least one premise.
  6201 
  6202 * Provers/classical: attributes dest/elim/intro take an optional
  6203 weight argument for the rule (just as the Pure versions).  Weights are
  6204 ignored by automated tools, but determine the search order of single
  6205 rule steps.
  6206 
  6207 * Syntax: input syntax now supports dummy variable binding "%_. b",
  6208 where the body does not mention the bound variable.  Note that dummy
  6209 patterns implicitly depend on their context of bounds, which makes
  6210 "{_. _}" match any set comprehension as expected.  Potential
  6211 INCOMPATIBILITY -- parse translations need to cope with syntactic
  6212 constant "_idtdummy" in the binding position.
  6213 
  6214 * Syntax: removed obsolete syntactic constant "_K" and its associated
  6215 parse translation.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- use dummy abstraction instead,
  6216 for example "A -> B" => "Pi A (%_. B)".
  6217 
  6218 * Pure: 'class_deps' command visualizes the subclass relation, using
  6219 the graph browser tool.
  6220 
  6221 * Pure: 'print_theory' now suppresses certain internal declarations by
  6222 default; use '!' option for full details.
  6223 
  6224 
  6225 *** HOL ***
  6226 
  6227 * Method "metis" proves goals by applying the Metis general-purpose
  6228 resolution prover (see also http://gilith.com/software/metis/).
  6229 Examples are in the directory MetisExamples.  WARNING: the
  6230 Isabelle/HOL-Metis integration does not yet work properly with
  6231 multi-threading.
  6232   
  6233 * Command 'sledgehammer' invokes external automatic theorem provers as
  6234 background processes.  It generates calls to the "metis" method if
  6235 successful. These can be pasted into the proof.  Users do not have to
  6236 wait for the automatic provers to return.  WARNING: does not really
  6237 work with multi-threading.
  6238 
  6239 * New "auto_quickcheck" feature tests outermost goal statements for
  6240 potential counter-examples.  Controlled by ML references
  6241 auto_quickcheck (default true) and auto_quickcheck_time_limit (default
  6242 5000 milliseconds).  Fails silently if statements is outside of
  6243 executable fragment, or any other codgenerator problem occurs.
  6244 
  6245 * New constant "undefined" with axiom "undefined x = undefined".
  6246 
  6247 * Added class "HOL.eq", allowing for code generation with polymorphic
  6248 equality.
  6249 
  6250 * Some renaming of class constants due to canonical name prefixing in
  6251 the new 'class' package:
  6252 
  6253     HOL.abs ~> HOL.abs_class.abs
  6254     HOL.divide ~> HOL.divide_class.divide
  6255     0 ~> HOL.zero_class.zero

  6272     Divides.op dvd ~> Divides.div_class.dvd
  6273 
  6274 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Adaptions may be required in the following cases:
  6275 
  6276 a) User-defined constants using any of the names "plus", "minus",
  6277 "times", "less" or "less_eq". The standard syntax translations for
  6278 "+", "-" and "*" may go wrong.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific
  6279 names.
  6280 
  6281 b) Variables named "plus", "minus", "times", "less", "less_eq"
  6282 INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific names.
  6283 
  6284 c) Permutative equations (e.g. "a + b = b + a")
  6285 Since the change of names also changes the order of terms, permutative
  6286 rewrite rules may get applied in a different order. Experience shows
  6287 that this is rarely the case (only two adaptions in the whole Isabelle
  6288 distribution).  INCOMPATIBILITY: rewrite proofs
  6289 
  6290 d) ML code directly refering to constant names
  6291 This in general only affects hand-written proof tactics, simprocs and
  6292 so on.  INCOMPATIBILITY: grep your sourcecode and replace names.
  6293 Consider using @{const_name} antiquotation.
  6294 
  6295 * New class "default" with associated constant "default".
  6296 
  6297 * Function "sgn" is now overloaded and available on int, real, complex
  6298 (and other numeric types), using class "sgn".  Two possible defs of
  6299 sgn are given as equational assumptions in the classes sgn_if and
  6300 sgn_div_norm; ordered_idom now also inherits from sgn_if.
  6301 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6302 
  6303 * Locale "partial_order" now unified with class "order" (cf. theory
  6304 Orderings), added parameter "less".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6305 
  6306 * Renamings in classes "order" and "linorder": facts "refl", "trans" and
  6307 "cases" to "order_refl", "order_trans" and "linorder_cases", to avoid
  6308 clashes with HOL "refl" and "trans".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6309 
  6310 * Classes "order" and "linorder": potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to
  6311 changed order of proof goals in instance proofs.
  6312 
  6313 * The transitivity reasoner for partial and linear orders is set up
  6314 for classes "order" and "linorder".  Instances of the reasoner are available
  6315 in all contexts importing or interpreting the corresponding locales.
  6316 Method "order" invokes the reasoner separately; the reasoner
  6317 is also integrated with the Simplifier as a solver.  Diagnostic
  6318 command 'print_orders' shows the available instances of the reasoner
  6319 in the current context.
  6320 
  6321 * Localized monotonicity predicate in theory "Orderings"; integrated
  6322 lemmas max_of_mono and min_of_mono with this predicate.
  6323 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6324 
  6325 * Formulation of theorem "dense" changed slightly due to integration
  6326 with new class dense_linear_order.
  6327 
  6328 * Uniform lattice theory development in HOL.
  6329 
  6330     constants "meet" and "join" now named "inf" and "sup"
  6331     constant "Meet" now named "Inf"
  6332 
  6333     classes "meet_semilorder" and "join_semilorder" now named
  6334       "lower_semilattice" and "upper_semilattice"
  6335     class "lorder" now named "lattice"
  6336     class "comp_lat" now named "complete_lattice"
  6337 
  6338     Instantiation of lattice classes allows explicit definitions
  6339     for "inf" and "sup" operations (or "Inf" and "Sup" for complete lattices).
  6340

  6443 
  6444 * Added syntactic class "size"; overloaded constant "size" now has
  6445 type "'a::size ==> bool"
  6446 
  6447 * Internal reorganisation of `size' of datatypes: size theorems
  6448 "foo.size" are no longer subsumed by "foo.simps" (but are still
  6449 simplification rules by default!); theorems "prod.size" now named
  6450 "*.size".
  6451 
  6452 * Class "div" now inherits from class "times" rather than "type".
  6453 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6454 
  6455 * HOL/Finite_Set: "name-space" locales Lattice, Distrib_lattice,
  6456 Linorder etc.  have disappeared; operations defined in terms of
  6457 fold_set now are named Inf_fin, Sup_fin.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6458 
  6459 * HOL/Nat: neq0_conv no longer declared as iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6460 
  6461 * HOL-Word: New extensive library and type for generic, fixed size
  6462 machine words, with arithmetic, bit-wise, shifting and rotating
  6463 operations, reflection into int, nat, and bool lists, automation for
  6464 linear arithmetic (by automatic reflection into nat or int), including
  6465 lemmas on overflow and monotonicity.  Instantiated to all appropriate
  6466 arithmetic type classes, supporting automatic simplification of
  6467 numerals on all operations.
  6468 
  6469 * Library/Boolean_Algebra: locales for abstract boolean algebras.
  6470 
  6471 * Library/Numeral_Type: numbers as types, e.g. TYPE(32).
  6472 
  6473 * Code generator library theories:
  6474   - Code_Integer represents HOL integers by big integer literals in target
  6475     languages.
  6476   - Code_Char represents HOL characters by character literals in target
  6477     languages.
  6478   - Code_Char_chr like Code_Char, but also offers treatment of character
  6479     codes; includes Code_Integer.
  6480   - Executable_Set allows to generate code for finite sets using lists.
  6481   - Executable_Rat implements rational numbers as triples (sign, enumerator,
  6482     denominator).
  6483   - Executable_Real implements a subset of real numbers, namly those
  6484     representable by rational numbers.
  6485   - Efficient_Nat implements natural numbers by integers, which in general will
  6486     result in higher efficency; pattern matching with 0/Suc is eliminated;
  6487     includes Code_Integer.
  6488   - Code_Index provides an additional datatype index which is mapped to
  6489     target-language built-in integers.
  6490   - Code_Message provides an additional datatype message_string which is isomorphic to
  6491     strings; messages are mapped to target-language strings.
  6492 
  6493 * New package for inductive predicates
  6494 
  6495   An n-ary predicate p with m parameters z_1, ..., z_m can now be defined via
  6496 
  6497     inductive
  6498       p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6499       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6500     where
  6501       rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  6502     | ...
  6503 
  6504   with full support for type-inference, rather than
  6505 
  6506     consts s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6507 
  6508     abbreviation p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6509     where "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6510 
  6511     inductive "s z_1 ... z_m"
  6512     intros
  6513       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6514       ...
  6515 
  6516   For backward compatibility, there is a wrapper allowing inductive
  6517   sets to be defined with the new package via
  6518 
  6519     inductive_set
  6520       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6521       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6522     where
  6523       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6524     | ...
  6525 
  6526   or
  6527 
  6528     inductive_set
  6529       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6530       and p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6531       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6532     where
  6533       "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6534     | rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  6535     | ...
  6536 
  6537   if the additional syntax "p ..." is required.
  6538 
  6539   Numerous examples can be found in the subdirectories src/HOL/Auth,
  6540   src/HOL/Bali, src/HOL/Induct, and src/HOL/MicroJava.
  6541 
  6542   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  6543 
  6544   - Since declaration and definition of inductive sets or predicates
  6545     is no longer separated, abbreviations involving the newly
  6546     introduced sets or predicates must be specified together with the
  6547     introduction rules after the 'where' keyword (see above), rather
  6548     than before the actual inductive definition.
  6549 
  6550   - The variables in induction and elimination rules are now
  6551     quantified in the order of their occurrence in the introduction
  6552     rules, rather than in alphabetical order. Since this may break
  6553     some proofs, these proofs either have to be repaired, e.g. by
  6554     reordering the variables a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i} in Isar 'case'
  6555     statements of the form
  6556 
  6557       case (rule_i a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i})
  6558 
  6559     or the old order of quantification has to be restored by explicitly adding
  6560     meta-level quantifiers in the introduction rules, i.e.
  6561 
  6562       | rule_i: "!!a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i}. ... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_i_1 ... t_i_n"
  6563 
  6564   - The format of the elimination rules is now
  6565 
  6566       p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n ==>
  6567         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  6568         ==> ... ==> P
  6569 
  6570     for predicates and
  6571 
  6572       (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  6573         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  6574         ==> ... ==> P
  6575 
  6576     for sets rather than
  6577 
  6578       x : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  6579         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x = (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) ==> ... ==> P)
  6580         ==> ... ==> P
  6581 
  6582     This may require terms in goals to be expanded to n-tuples
  6583     (e.g. using case_tac or simplification with the split_paired_all
  6584     rule) before the above elimination rule is applicable.
  6585 
  6586   - The elimination or case analysis rules for (mutually) inductive
  6587     sets or predicates are now called "p_1.cases" ... "p_k.cases". The
  6588     list of rules "p_1_..._p_k.elims" is no longer available.
  6589 
  6590 * New package "function"/"fun" for general recursive functions,
  6591 supporting mutual and nested recursion, definitions in local contexts,
  6592 more general pattern matching and partiality. See HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy
  6593 for small examples, and the separate tutorial on the function
  6594 package. The old recdef "package" is still available as before, but
  6595 users are encouraged to use the new package.
  6596 
  6597 * Method "lexicographic_order" automatically synthesizes termination
  6598 relations as lexicographic combinations of size measures. 
  6599 
  6600 * Case-expressions allow arbitrary constructor-patterns (including
  6601 "_") and take their order into account, like in functional
  6602 programming.  Internally, this is translated into nested
  6603 case-expressions; missing cases are added and mapped to the predefined
  6604 constant "undefined". In complicated cases printing may no longer show
  6605 the original input but the internal form. Lambda-abstractions allow
  6606 the same form of pattern matching: "% pat1 => e1 | ..." is an
  6607 abbreviation for "%x. case x of pat1 => e1 | ..." where x is a new
  6608 variable.
  6609 
  6610 * IntDef: The constant "int :: nat => int" has been removed; now "int"
  6611 is an abbreviation for "of_nat :: nat => int". The simplification
  6612 rules for "of_nat" have been changed to work like "int" did
  6613 previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6614   - "of_nat (Suc m)" simplifies to "1 + of_nat m" instead of "of_nat m + 1"
  6615   - of_nat_diff and of_nat_mult are no longer default simp rules
  6616 
  6617 * Method "algebra" solves polynomial equations over (semi)rings using
  6618 Groebner bases. The (semi)ring structure is defined by locales and the
  6619 tool setup depends on that generic context. Installing the method for
  6620 a specific type involves instantiating the locale and possibly adding
  6621 declarations for computation on the coefficients.  The method is
  6622 already instantiated for natural numbers and for the axiomatic class
  6623 of idoms with numerals.  See also the paper by Chaieb and Wenzel at
  6624 CALCULEMUS 2007 for the general principles underlying this
  6625 architecture of context-aware proof-tools.
  6626 
  6627 * Method "ferrack" implements quantifier elimination over
  6628 special-purpose dense linear orders using locales (analogous to
  6629 "algebra"). The method is already installed for class
  6630 {ordered_field,recpower,number_ring} which subsumes real, hyperreal,
  6631 rat, etc.
  6632 
  6633 * Former constant "List.op @" now named "List.append".  Use ML
  6634 antiquotations @{const_name List.append} or @{term " ... @ ... "} to
  6635 circumvent possible incompatibilities when working on ML level.
  6636 
  6637 * primrec: missing cases mapped to "undefined" instead of "arbitrary".
  6638 
  6639 * New function listsum :: 'a list => 'a for arbitrary monoids.
  6640 Special syntax: "SUM x <- xs. f x" (and latex variants)
  6641 
  6642 * New syntax for Haskell-like list comprehension (input only), eg.
  6643 [(x,y). x <- xs, y <- ys, x ~= y], see also src/HOL/List.thy.
  6644 
  6645 * The special syntax for function "filter" has changed from [x :
  6646 xs. P] to [x <- xs. P] to avoid an ambiguity caused by list
  6647 comprehension syntax, and for uniformity.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6648 
  6649 * [a..b] is now defined for arbitrary linear orders.  It used to be
  6650 defined on nat only, as an abbreviation for [a..<Suc b]
  6651 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6652 
  6653 * Renamed lemma "set_take_whileD"  to "set_takeWhileD".
  6654 
  6655 * New functions "sorted" and "sort" in src/HOL/List.thy.
  6656 
  6657 * New lemma collection field_simps (an extension of ring_simps) for
  6658 manipulating (in)equations involving division. Multiplies with all
  6659 denominators that can be proved to be non-zero (in equations) or
  6660 positive/negative (in inequations).
  6661 
  6662 * Lemma collections ring_eq_simps, group_eq_simps and ring_distrib
  6663 have been improved and renamed to ring_simps, group_simps and
  6664 ring_distribs.  Removed lemmas field_xyz in theory Ring_and_Field
  6665 because they were subsumed by lemmas xyz.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6666 
  6667 * Theory Library/Commutative_Ring: switched from recdef to function
  6668 package; constants add, mul, pow now curried.  Infix syntax for
  6669 algebraic operations.
  6670 
  6671 * Dropped redundant lemma def_imp_eq in favor of meta_eq_to_obj_eq.
  6672 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6673 
  6674 * Dropped redundant lemma if_def2 in favor of if_bool_eq_conj.
  6675 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6676 
  6677 * HOL/records: generalised field-update to take a function on the
  6678 field rather than the new value: r(|A := x|) is translated to A_update
  6679 (K x) r The K-combinator that is internally used is called K_record.
  6680 INCOMPATIBILITY: Usage of the plain update functions has to be
  6681 adapted.
  6682  
  6683 * Class "semiring_0" now contains annihilation axioms x * 0 = 0 and 0
  6684 * x = 0, which are required for a semiring.  Richer structures do not
  6685 inherit from semiring_0 anymore, because this property is a theorem
  6686 there, not an axiom.  INCOMPATIBILITY: In instances of semiring_0,
  6687 there is more to prove, but this is mostly trivial.
  6688 
  6689 * Class "recpower" is generalized to arbitrary monoids, not just
  6690 commutative semirings.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to incorporate
  6691 commutativity or semiring properties additionally.
  6692 
  6693 * Constant "List.list_all2" in List.thy now uses authentic syntax.
  6694 INCOMPATIBILITY: translations containing list_all2 may go wrong,
  6695 better use 'abbreviation'.
  6696 
  6697 * Renamed constant "List.op mem" to "List.member".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6698 
  6699 * Numeral syntax: type 'bin' which was a mere type copy of 'int' has
  6700 been abandoned in favour of plain 'int'.  INCOMPATIBILITY --
  6701 significant changes for setting up numeral syntax for types:
  6702   - New constants Numeral.pred and Numeral.succ instead
  6703       of former Numeral.bin_pred and Numeral.bin_succ.
  6704   - Use integer operations instead of bin_add, bin_mult and so on.
  6705   - Numeral simplification theorems named Numeral.numeral_simps instead of Bin_simps.
  6706   - ML structure Bin_Simprocs now named Int_Numeral_Base_Simprocs.
  6707 
  6708 See src/HOL/Integ/IntArith.thy for an example setup.
  6709 
  6710 * Command 'normal_form' computes the normal form of a term that may
  6711 contain free variables.  For example ``normal_form "rev [a, b, c]"''
  6712 produces ``[b, c, a]'' (without proof).  This command is suitable for
  6713 heavy-duty computations because the functions are compiled to ML
  6714 first.  Correspondingly, a method "normalization" is provided.  See
  6715 further src/HOL/ex/NormalForm.thy and src/Tools/nbe.ML.
  6716 
  6717 * Alternative iff syntax "A <-> B" for equality on bool (with priority
  6718 25 like -->); output depends on the "iff" print_mode, the default is
  6719 "A = B" (with priority 50).
  6720 
  6721 * Relations less (<) and less_eq (<=) are also available on type bool.
  6722 Modified syntax to disallow nesting without explicit parentheses,
  6723 e.g. "(x < y) < z" or "x < (y < z)", but NOT "x < y < z".  Potential
  6724 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6725 
  6726 * "LEAST x:A. P" expands to "LEAST x. x:A & P" (input only).
  6727 
  6728 * Relation composition operator "op O" now has precedence 75 and binds
  6729 stronger than union and intersection. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6730 
  6731 * The old set interval syntax "{m..n(}" (and relatives) has been
  6732 removed.  Use "{m..<n}" (and relatives) instead.
  6733 
  6734 * In the context of the assumption "~(s = t)" the Simplifier rewrites
  6735 "t = s" to False (by simproc "neq").  INCOMPATIBILITY, consider using
  6736 ``declare [[simproc del: neq]]''.
  6737 
  6738 * Simplifier: "m dvd n" where m and n are numbers is evaluated to
  6739 True/False.
  6740 
  6741 * Theorem Cons_eq_map_conv no longer declared as "simp".
  6742 
  6743 * Theorem setsum_mult renamed to setsum_right_distrib.
  6744 
  6745 * Prefer ex1I over ex_ex1I in single-step reasoning, e.g. by the
  6746 ``rule'' method.
  6747 
  6748 * Reimplemented methods "sat" and "satx", with several improvements:
  6749 goals no longer need to be stated as "<prems> ==> False", equivalences
  6750 (i.e. "=" on type bool) are handled, variable names of the form
  6751 "lit_<n>" are no longer reserved, significant speedup.
  6752 
  6753 * Methods "sat" and "satx" can now replay MiniSat proof traces.
  6754 zChaff is still supported as well.
  6755 
  6756 * 'inductive' and 'datatype': provide projections of mutual rules,
  6757 bundled as foo_bar.inducts;
  6758 
  6759 * Library: moved theories Parity, GCD, Binomial, Infinite_Set to
  6760 Library.
  6761 
  6762 * Library: moved theory Accessible_Part to main HOL.
  6763 
  6764 * Library: added theory Coinductive_List of potentially infinite lists
  6765 as greatest fixed-point.
  6766 
  6767 * Library: added theory AssocList which implements (finite) maps as
  6768 association lists.
  6769 
  6770 * Method "evaluation" solves goals (i.e. a boolean expression)
  6771 efficiently by compiling it to ML.  The goal is "proved" (via an
  6772 oracle) if it evaluates to True.
  6773 
  6774 * Linear arithmetic now splits certain operators (e.g. min, max, abs)
  6775 also when invoked by the simplifier.  This results in the Simplifier
  6776 being more powerful on arithmetic goals.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6777 Configuration option fast_arith_split_limit=0 recovers the old
  6778 behavior.
  6779 
  6780 * Support for hex (0x20) and binary (0b1001) numerals.
  6781 
  6782 * New method: reify eqs (t), where eqs are equations for an
  6783 interpretation I :: 'a list => 'b => 'c and t::'c is an optional
  6784 parameter, computes a term s::'b and a list xs::'a list and proves the
  6785 theorem I xs s = t. This is also known as reification or quoting. The
  6786 resulting theorem is applied to the subgoal to substitute t with I xs
  6787 s.  If t is omitted, the subgoal itself is reified.
  6788 
  6789 * New method: reflection corr_thm eqs (t). The parameters eqs and (t)
  6790 are as explained above. corr_thm is a theorem for I vs (f t) = I vs t,
  6791 where f is supposed to be a computable function (in the sense of code
  6792 generattion). The method uses reify to compute s and xs as above then
  6793 applies corr_thm and uses normalization by evaluation to "prove" f s =
  6794 r and finally gets the theorem t = r, which is again applied to the
  6795 subgoal. An Example is available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy.
  6796 
  6797 * Reflection: Automatic reification now handels binding, an example is
  6798 available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy
  6799 
  6800 * HOL-Statespace: ``State Spaces: The Locale Way'' introduces a
  6801 command 'statespace' that is similar to 'record', but introduces an
  6802 abstract specification based on the locale infrastructure instead of
  6803 HOL types.  This leads to extra flexibility in composing state spaces,
  6804 in particular multiple inheritance and renaming of components.
  6805 
  6806 
  6807 *** HOL-Complex ***
  6808 
  6809 * Hyperreal: Functions root and sqrt are now defined on negative real
  6810 inputs so that root n (- x) = - root n x and sqrt (- x) = - sqrt x.
  6811 Nonnegativity side conditions have been removed from many lemmas, so
  6812 that more subgoals may now be solved by simplification; potential
  6813 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6814 
  6815 * Real: new type classes formalize real normed vector spaces and
  6816 algebras, using new overloaded constants scaleR :: real => 'a => 'a
  6817 and norm :: 'a => real.
  6818 
  6819 * Real: constant of_real :: real => 'a::real_algebra_1 injects from
  6820 reals into other types. The overloaded constant Reals :: 'a set is now
  6821 defined as range of_real; potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6822 
  6823 * Real: proper support for ML code generation, including 'quickcheck'.
  6824 Reals are implemented as arbitrary precision rationals.
  6825 
  6826 * Hyperreal: Several constants that previously worked only for the
  6827 reals have been generalized, so they now work over arbitrary vector
  6828 spaces. Type annotations may need to be added in some cases; potential
  6829 INCOMPATIBILITY.

  6845   exp            :: 'a::{recpower,real_normed_field,banach} => 'a
  6846 
  6847 * Complex: Some complex-specific constants are now abbreviations for
  6848 overloaded ones: complex_of_real = of_real, cmod = norm, hcmod =
  6849 hnorm.  Other constants have been entirely removed in favor of the
  6850 polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  6851

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

  7573   mult_pos_neg2_le   now named mult_nonneg_nonpos2
  7574   mult_neg           now named mult_neg_neg
  7575   mult_neg_le        now named mult_nonpos_nonpos
  7576 
  7577 * The following lemmas in Ring_and_Field have been added to the simplifier:
  7578      
  7579      zero_le_square
  7580      not_square_less_zero 
  7581 
  7582   The following lemmas have been deleted from Real/RealPow:

  7584      realpow_zero_zero
  7585      realpow_two
  7586      realpow_less

  7589      abs_realpow_two
  7590      realpow_two_abs     
  7591 
  7592 * Theory Parity: added rules for simplifying exponents.
  7593 
  7594 * Theory List:
  7595 
  7596 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7597 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7598 
  7599   list_all_Nil       now named list_all.simps(1)
  7600   list_all_Cons      now named list_all.simps(2)
  7601   list_all_conv      now named list_all_iff
  7602   set_mem_eq         now named mem_iff
  7603 
  7604 * Theories SetsAndFunctions and BigO (see HOL/Library) support
  7605 asymptotic "big O" calculations.  See the notes in BigO.thy.
  7606 
  7607 
  7608 *** HOL-Complex ***
  7609 
  7610 * Theory RealDef: better support for embedding natural numbers and
  7611 integers in the reals.
  7612 
  7613 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7614 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7615 
  7616   exp_ge_add_one_self  now requires no hypotheses
  7617   real_of_int_add      reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7618   real_of_int_minus    reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7619   real_of_int_diff     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7620   real_of_int_mult     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7621 
  7622 * Theory RComplete: expanded support for floor and ceiling functions.
  7623 
  7624 * Theory Ln is new, with properties of the natural logarithm
  7625 
  7626 * Hyperreal: There is a new type constructor "star" for making
  7627 nonstandard types.  The old type names are now type synonyms:
  7628 
  7629   hypreal = real star
  7630   hypnat = nat star
  7631   hcomplex = complex star
  7632 
  7633 * Hyperreal: Many groups of similarly-defined constants have been
  7634 replaced by polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  7649 
  7650 * Hyperreal: Many type-specific theorems have been removed in favor of
  7651 theorems specific to various axiomatic type classes (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  7677 
  7678 * Hyperreal: Separate theorems having to do with type-specific
  7679 versions of constants have been merged into theorems that apply to the
  7680 new polymorphic constants (INCOMPATIBILITY):

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

 10581 *** ZF ***
 10582 
 10583 * ZF now has Fast_tac, Simp_tac and Auto_tac.  Union_iff is a now a default
 10584 rewrite rule; this may affect some proofs.  eq_cs is gone but can be put back
 10585 as ZF_cs addSIs [equalityI];

 10589 New in Isabelle94-7 (November 96)
 10590 ---------------------------------
 10591 
 10592 * allowing negative levels (as offsets) in prlev and choplev;
 10593 
 10594 * super-linear speedup for large simplifications;
 10595 
 10596 * FOL, ZF and HOL now use miniscoping: rewriting pushes
 10597 quantifications in as far as possible (COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS
 10598 FAIL); can suppress it using the command Delsimps (ex_simps @
 10599 all_simps); De Morgan laws are also now included, by default;
 10600 
 10601 * improved printing of ==>  :  ~:
 10602 
 10603 * new object-logic "Sequents" adds linear logic, while replacing LK
 10604 and Modal (thanks to Sara Kalvala);
 10605 
 10606 * HOL/Auth: correctness proofs for authentication protocols;
 10607 
 10608 * HOL: new auto_tac combines rewriting and classical reasoning (many
 10609 examples on HOL/Auth);
 10610 
 10611 * HOL: new command AddIffs for declaring theorems of the form P=Q to
 10612 the rewriter and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 10613 
 10614 * function uresult no longer returns theorems in "standard" format;
 10615 regain previous version by: val uresult = standard o uresult;
 10616 
 10617 
 10618 
 10619 New in Isabelle94-6
 10620 -------------------
 10621 
 10622 * oracles -- these establish an interface between Isabelle and trusted
 10623 external reasoners, which may deliver results as theorems;
 10624 
 10625 * proof objects (in particular record all uses of oracles);
 10626 
 10627 * Simp_tac, Fast_tac, etc. that refer to implicit simpset / claset;
 10628 
 10629 * "constdefs" section in theory files;
 10630 
 10631 * "primrec" section (HOL) no longer requires names;
 10632 
 10633 * internal type "tactic" now simply "thm -> thm Sequence.seq";
 10634 
 10635 
 10636 
 10637 New in Isabelle94-5
 10638 -------------------
 10639 
 10640 * reduced space requirements;
 10641 
 10642 * automatic HTML generation from theories;
 10643 
 10644 * theory files no longer require "..." (quotes) around most types;
 10645 
 10646 * new examples, including two proofs of the Church-Rosser theorem;
 10647 
 10648 * non-curried (1994) version of HOL is no longer distributed;
 10649 
 10650 
 10651 
 10652 New in Isabelle94-4
 10653 -------------------
 10654 
 10655 * greatly reduced space requirements;
 10656 
 10657 * theory files (.thy) no longer require \...\ escapes at line breaks;
 10658 
 10659 * searchable theorem database (see the section "Retrieving theorems" on
 10660 page 8 of the Reference Manual);
 10661 
 10662 * new examples, including Grabczewski's monumental case study of the
 10663 Axiom of Choice;
 10664 
 10665 * The previous version of HOL renamed to Old_HOL;
 10666 
 10667 * The new version of HOL (previously called CHOL) uses a curried syntax
 10668 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b);
 10669 
 10670 * Mutually recursive inductive definitions finally work in HOL;
 10671 
 10672 * In ZF, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions and
 10673 translates to the operator "split";
 10674 
 10675 
 10676 
 10677 New in Isabelle94-3
 10678 -------------------
 10679 
 10680 * new infix operator, addss, allowing the classical reasoner to
 10681 perform simplification at each step of its search.  Example:
 10682         fast_tac (cs addss ss)
 10683 
 10684 * a new logic, CHOL, the same as HOL, but with a curried syntax
 10685 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b).  Also pairs
 10686 look like (a,b) instead of <a,b>;
 10687 
 10688 * PLEASE NOTE: CHOL will eventually replace HOL!
 10689 
 10690 * In CHOL, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions.
 10691 It translates to the operator "split".  A new theory of integers is available;
 10692 
 10693 * In ZF, integer numerals now denote two's-complement binary integers.
 10694 Arithmetic operations can be performed by rewriting.  See ZF/ex/Bin.ML;
 10695 
 10696 * Many new examples: I/O automata, Church-Rosser theorem, equivalents
 10697 of the Axiom of Choice;
 10698 
 10699 
 10700 
 10701 New in Isabelle94-2
 10702 -------------------
 10703 
 10704 * Significantly faster resolution;
 10705 
 10706 * the different sections in a .thy file can now be mixed and repeated
 10707 freely;
 10708 
 10709 * Database of theorems for FOL, HOL and ZF.  New
 10710 commands including qed, qed_goal and bind_thm store theorems in the database.
 10711 
 10712 * Simple database queries: return a named theorem (get_thm) or all theorems of
 10713 a given theory (thms_of), or find out what theory a theorem was proved in
 10714 (theory_of_thm);
 10715 
 10716 * Bugs fixed in the inductive definition and datatype packages;
 10717 
 10718 * The classical reasoner provides deepen_tac and depth_tac, making FOL_dup_cs
 10719 and HOL_dup_cs obsolete;
 10720 
 10721 * Syntactic ambiguities caused by the new treatment of syntax in Isabelle94-1
 10722 have been removed;
 10723 
 10724 * Simpler definition of function space in ZF;
 10725 
 10726 * new results about cardinal and ordinal arithmetic in ZF;
 10727 
 10728 * 'subtype' facility in HOL for introducing new types as subsets of existing
 10729 types;
