     1 Isabelle NEWS -- history of user-relevant changes
     2 =================================================
     3 
     4 New in Isabelle2014 (August 2014)
     5 ---------------------------------
     6 
     7 *** General ***
     8 
     9 * Support for official Standard ML within the Isabelle context.
    10 Command 'SML_file' reads and evaluates the given Standard ML file.
    11 Toplevel bindings are stored within the theory context; the initial
    12 environment is restricted to the Standard ML implementation of
    13 Poly/ML, without the add-ons of Isabelle/ML.  Commands 'SML_import'
    14 and 'SML_export' allow to exchange toplevel bindings between the two
    15 separate environments.  See also ~~/src/Tools/SML/Examples.thy for
    16 some examples.
    17 
    18 * Standard tactics and proof methods such as "clarsimp", "auto" and
    19 "safe" now preserve equality hypotheses "x = expr" where x is a free
    20 variable.  Locale assumptions and chained facts containing "x"
    21 continue to be useful.  The new method "hypsubst_thin" and the
    22 configuration option "hypsubst_thin" (within the attribute name space)
    23 restore the previous behavior.  INCOMPATIBILITY, especially where
    24 induction is done after these methods or when the names of free and
    25 bound variables clash.  As first approximation, old proofs may be
    26 repaired by "using [[hypsubst_thin = true]]" in the critical spot.
    27 
    28 * More static checking of proof methods, which allows the system to
    29 form a closure over the concrete syntax.  Method arguments should be
    30 processed in the original proof context as far as possible, before
    31 operating on the goal state.  In any case, the standard discipline for
    32 subgoal-addressing needs to be observed: no subgoals or a subgoal
    33 number that is out of range produces an empty result sequence, not an
    34 exception.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for non-conformant tactical
    35 proof tools.
    36 
    37 * Lexical syntax (inner and outer) supports text cartouches with
    38 arbitrary nesting, and without escapes of quotes etc.  The Prover IDE
    39 supports input via ` (backquote).
    40 
    41 * The outer syntax categories "text" (for formal comments and document
    42 markup commands) and "altstring" (for literal fact references) allow
    43 cartouches as well, in addition to the traditional mix of quotations.
    44 
    45 * Syntax of document antiquotation @{rail} now uses \<newline> instead
    46 of "\\", to avoid the optical illusion of escaped backslash within
    47 string token.  General renovation of its syntax using text cartouches.
    48 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    49 
    50 * Discontinued legacy_isub_isup, which was a temporary workaround for
    51 Isabelle/ML in Isabelle2013-1.  The prover process no longer accepts
    52 old identifier syntax with \<^isub> or \<^isup>.  Potential
    53 INCOMPATIBILITY.
    54 
    55 * Document antiquotation @{url} produces markup for the given URL,
    56 which results in an active hyperlink within the text.
    57 
    58 * Document antiquotation @{file_unchecked} is like @{file}, but does
    59 not check existence within the file-system.
    60 
    61 * Updated and extended manuals: codegen, datatypes, implementation,
    62 isar-ref, jedit, system.
    63 
    64 
    65 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
    66 
    67 * Improved Document panel: simplied interaction where every single
    68 mouse click (re)opens document via desktop environment or as jEdit
    69 buffer.
    70 
    71 * Support for Navigator plugin (with toolbar buttons), with connection
    72 to PIDE hyperlinks.
    73 
    74 * Auxiliary files ('ML_file' etc.) are managed by the Prover IDE.
    75 Open text buffers take precedence over copies within the file-system.
    76 
    77 * Improved support for Isabelle/ML, with jEdit mode "isabelle-ml" for
    78 auxiliary ML files.
    79 
    80 * Improved syntactic and semantic completion mechanism, with simple
    81 templates, completion language context, name-space completion,
    82 file-name completion, spell-checker completion.
    83 
    84 * Refined GUI popup for completion: more robust key/mouse event
    85 handling and propagation to enclosing text area -- avoid loosing
    86 keystrokes with slow / remote graphics displays.
    87 
    88 * Refined insertion of completion items wrt. jEdit text: multiple
    89 selections, rectangular selections, rectangular selection as "tall
    90 caret".
    91 
    92 * Integrated spell-checker for document text, comments etc. with
    93 completion popup and context-menu.
    94 
    95 * More general "Query" panel supersedes "Find" panel, with GUI access
    96 to commands 'find_theorems' and 'find_consts', as well as print
    97 operations for the context.  Minor incompatibility in keyboard
    98 shortcuts etc.: replace action isabelle-find by isabelle-query.
    99 
   100 * Search field for all output panels ("Output", "Query", "Info" etc.)
   101 to highlight text via regular expression.
   102 
   103 * Option "jedit_print_mode" (see also "Plugin Options / Isabelle /
   104 General") allows to specify additional print modes for the prover
   105 process, without requiring old-fashioned command-line invocation of
   106 "isabelle jedit -m MODE".
   107 
   108 * More support for remote files (e.g. http) using standard Java
   109 networking operations instead of jEdit virtual file-systems.
   110 
   111 * Improved Console/Scala plugin: more uniform scala.Console output,
   112 more robust treatment of threads and interrupts.
   113 
   114 * Improved management of dockable windows: clarified keyboard focus
   115 and window placement wrt. main editor view; optional menu item to
   116 "Detach" a copy where this makes sense.
   117 
   118 * New Simplifier Trace panel provides an interactive view of the
   119 simplification process, enabled by the "simplifier_trace" attribute
   120 within the context.
   121 
   122 
   123 *** Pure ***
   124 
   125 * Low-level type-class commands 'classes', 'classrel', 'arities' have
   126 been discontinued to avoid the danger of non-trivial axiomatization
   127 that is not immediately visible.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use regular
   128 'instance' command with proof.  The required OFCLASS(...) theorem
   129 might be postulated via 'axiomatization' beforehand, or the proof
   130 finished trivially if the underlying class definition is made vacuous
   131 (without any assumptions).  See also Isabelle/ML operations
   132 Axclass.class_axiomatization, Axclass.classrel_axiomatization,
   133 Axclass.arity_axiomatization.
   134 
   135 * Basic constants of Pure use more conventional names and are always
   136 qualified.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY, but with potentially serious
   137 consequences, notably for tools in Isabelle/ML.  The following
   138 renaming needs to be applied:
   139 
   140   ==             ~>  Pure.eq
   141   ==>            ~>  Pure.imp
   142   all            ~>  Pure.all
   143   TYPE           ~>  Pure.type
   144   dummy_pattern  ~>  Pure.dummy_pattern
   145 
   146 Systematic porting works by using the following theory setup on a
   147 *previous* Isabelle version to introduce the new name accesses for the
   148 old constants:
   149 
   150 setup {*
   151   fn thy => thy
   152     |> Sign.root_path
   153     |> Sign.const_alias (Binding.qualify true "Pure" @{binding eq}) "=="
   154     |> Sign.const_alias (Binding.qualify true "Pure" @{binding imp}) "==>"
   155     |> Sign.const_alias (Binding.qualify true "Pure" @{binding all}) "all"
   156     |> Sign.restore_naming thy
   157 *}
   158 
   159 Thus ML antiquotations like @{const_name Pure.eq} may be used already.
   160 Later the application is moved to the current Isabelle version, and
   161 the auxiliary aliases are deleted.
   162 
   163 * Attributes "where" and "of" allow an optional context of local
   164 variables ('for' declaration): these variables become schematic in the
   165 instantiated theorem.
   166 
   167 * Obsolete attribute "standard" has been discontinued (legacy since
   168 Isabelle2012).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use explicit 'for' context
   169 where instantiations with schematic variables are intended (for
   170 declaration commands like 'lemmas' or attributes like "of").  The
   171 following temporary definition may help to port old applications:
   172 
   173   attribute_setup standard =
   174     "Scan.succeed (Thm.rule_attribute (K Drule.export_without_context))"
   175 
   176 * More thorough check of proof context for goal statements and
   177 attributed fact expressions (concerning background theory, declared
   178 hyps).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, tools need to observe standard
   179 context discipline.  See also Assumption.add_assumes and the more
   180 primitive Thm.assume_hyps.
   181 
   182 * Inner syntax token language allows regular quoted strings "..."
   183 (only makes sense in practice, if outer syntax is delimited
   184 differently, e.g. via cartouches).
   185 
   186 * Command 'print_term_bindings' supersedes 'print_binds' for clarity,
   187 but the latter is retained some time as Proof General legacy.
   188 
   189 * Code generator preprocessor: explicit control of simp tracing on a
   190 per-constant basis.  See attribute "code_preproc".
   191 
   192 
   193 *** HOL ***
   194 
   195 * Code generator: enforce case of identifiers only for strict target
   196 language requirements.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   197 
   198 * Code generator: explicit proof contexts in many ML interfaces.
   199 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   200 
   201 * Code generator: minimize exported identifiers by default.  Minor
   202 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   203 
   204 * Code generation for SML and OCaml: dropped arcane "no_signatures"
   205 option.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   206 
   207 * "declare [[code abort: ...]]" replaces "code_abort ...".
   208 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   209 
   210 * "declare [[code drop: ...]]" drops all code equations associated
   211 with the given constants.
   212 
   213 * Code generations are provided for make, fields, extend and truncate
   214 operations on records.
   215 
   216 * Command and antiquotation "value" are now hardcoded against nbe and
   217 ML.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   218 
   219 * Renamed command 'enriched_type' to 'functor'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
   220 
   221 * The symbol "\<newline>" may be used within char or string literals
   222 to represent (Char Nibble0 NibbleA), i.e. ASCII newline.
   223 
   224 * Qualified String.implode and String.explode.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   225 
   226 * Simplifier: Enhanced solver of preconditions of rewrite rules can
   227 now deal with conjunctions.  For help with converting proofs, the old
   228 behaviour of the simplifier can be restored like this: declare/using
   229 [[simp_legacy_precond]].  This configuration option will disappear
   230 again in the future.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   231 
   232 * Simproc "finite_Collect" is no longer enabled by default, due to
   233 spurious crashes and other surprises.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
   234 
   235 * Moved new (co)datatype package and its dependencies from session
   236   "HOL-BNF" to "HOL".  The commands 'bnf', 'wrap_free_constructors',
   237   'datatype_new', 'codatatype', 'primcorec', 'primcorecursive' are now
   238   part of theory "Main".

   267     Library/BNF_Axomatization.thy
   268     BNF_Examples/Misc_Primcorec.thy
   269     BNF_Examples/Stream_Processor.thy
   270 
   271   Discontinued theories:
   272     BNF/BNF.thy
   273     BNF/Equiv_Relations_More.thy
   274 
   275 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   276 
   277 * New (co)datatype package:
   278   - Command 'primcorec' is fully implemented.
   279   - Command 'datatype_new' generates size functions ("size_xxx" and
   280     "size") as required by 'fun'.
   281   - BNFs are integrated with the Lifting tool and new-style
   282     (co)datatypes with Transfer.
   283   - Renamed commands:
   284       datatype_new_compat ~> datatype_compat
   285       primrec_new ~> primrec
   286       wrap_free_constructors ~> free_constructors
   287     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   288   - The generated constants "xxx_case" and "xxx_rec" have been renamed
   289     "case_xxx" and "rec_xxx" (e.g., "prod_case" ~> "case_prod").
   290     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   291   - The constant "xxx_(un)fold" and related theorems are no longer
   292     generated.  Use "xxx_(co)rec" or define "xxx_(un)fold" manually
   293     using "prim(co)rec".
   294     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   295   - No discriminators are generated for nullary constructors by
   296     default, eliminating the need for the odd "=:" syntax.
   297     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   298   - No discriminators or selectors are generated by default by
   299     "datatype_new", unless custom names are specified or the new
   300     "discs_sels" option is passed.
   301     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   302 
   303 * Old datatype package:
   304   - The generated theorems "xxx.cases" and "xxx.recs" have been
   305     renamed "xxx.case" and "xxx.rec" (e.g., "sum.cases" ->
   306     "sum.case").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   307   - The generated constants "xxx_case", "xxx_rec", and "xxx_size" have
   308     been renamed "case_xxx", "rec_xxx", and "size_xxx" (e.g.,
   309     "prod_case" ~> "case_prod").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   310 
   311 * The types "'a list" and "'a option", their set and map functions,
   312   their relators, and their selectors are now produced using the new
   313   BNF-based datatype package.
   314 
   315   Renamed constants:
   316     Option.set ~> set_option
   317     Option.map ~> map_option
   318     option_rel ~> rel_option
   319 
   320   Renamed theorems:
   321     set_def ~> set_rec[abs_def]
   322     map_def ~> map_rec[abs_def]
   323     Option.map_def ~> map_option_case[abs_def] (with "case_option" instead of "rec_option")
   324     option.recs ~> option.rec
   325     list_all2_def ~> list_all2_iff
   326     set.simps ~> set_simps (or the slightly different "list.set")
   327     map.simps ~> list.map
   328     hd.simps ~> list.sel(1)
   329     tl.simps ~> list.sel(2-3)
   330     the.simps ~> option.sel
   331 
   332 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   333 
   334 * The following map functions and relators have been renamed:
   335     sum_map ~> map_sum
   336     map_pair ~> map_prod
   337     prod_rel ~> rel_prod
   338     sum_rel ~> rel_sum
   339     fun_rel ~> rel_fun
   340     set_rel ~> rel_set
   341     filter_rel ~> rel_filter
   342     fset_rel ~> rel_fset (in "src/HOL/Library/FSet.thy")
   343     cset_rel ~> rel_cset (in "src/HOL/Library/Countable_Set_Type.thy")
   344     vset ~> rel_vset (in "src/HOL/Library/Quotient_Set.thy")
   345 
   346 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   347 
   348 * New internal SAT solver "cdclite" that produces models and proof
   349 traces.  This solver replaces the internal SAT solvers "enumerate" and
   350 "dpll".  Applications that explicitly used one of these two SAT
   351 solvers should use "cdclite" instead. In addition, "cdclite" is now
   352 the default SAT solver for the "sat" and "satx" proof methods and
   353 corresponding tactics; the old default can be restored using "declare
   354 [[sat_solver = zchaff_with_proofs]]".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   355 
   356 * SMT module: A new version of the SMT module, temporarily called
   357 "SMT2", uses SMT-LIB 2 and supports recent versions of Z3 (e.g.,
   358 4.3). The new proof method is called "smt2". CVC3 and CVC4 are also
   359 supported as oracles. Yices is no longer supported, because no version
   360 of the solver can handle both SMT-LIB 2 and quantifiers.
   361 
   362 * Activation of Z3 now works via "z3_non_commercial" system option
   363 (without requiring restart), instead of former settings variable
   364 "Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL".  The option can be edited in Isabelle/jEdit menu
   365 Plugin Options / Isabelle / General.
   366 
   367 * Sledgehammer:
   368   - Z3 can now produce Isar proofs.
   369   - MaSh overhaul:
   370     . New SML-based learning engines eliminate the dependency on
   371       Python and increase performance and reliability.
   372     . MaSh and MeSh are now used by default together with the
   373       traditional MePo (Meng-Paulson) relevance filter. To disable
   374       MaSh, set the "MaSh" system option in Isabelle/jEdit Plugin
   375       Options / Isabelle / General to "none".
   376   - New option:
   377       smt_proofs
   378   - Renamed options:
   379       isar_compress ~> compress
   380       isar_try0 ~> try0
   381 
   382 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   383 
   384 * Removed solvers remote_cvc3 and remote_z3. Use cvc3 and z3 instead.
   385 
   386 * Nitpick:
   387   - Fixed soundness bug whereby mutually recursive datatypes could
   388     take infinite values.
   389   - Fixed soundness bug with low-level number functions such as
   390     "Abs_Integ" and "Rep_Integ".
   391   - Removed "std" option.
   392   - Renamed "show_datatypes" to "show_types" and "hide_datatypes" to
   393     "hide_types".
   394 
   395 * Metis: Removed legacy proof method 'metisFT'. Use 'metis
   396 (full_types)' instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
   397 
   398 * Try0: Added 'algebra' and 'meson' to the set of proof methods.
   399 
   400 * Adjustion of INF and SUP operations:
   401   - Elongated constants INFI and SUPR to INFIMUM and SUPREMUM.
   402   - Consolidated theorem names containing INFI and SUPR: have INF and
   403     SUP instead uniformly.
   404   - More aggressive normalization of expressions involving INF and Inf
   405     or SUP and Sup.
   406   - INF_image and SUP_image do not unfold composition.
   407   - Dropped facts INF_comp, SUP_comp.
   408   - Default congruence rules strong_INF_cong and strong_SUP_cong, with
   409     simplifier implication in premises.  Generalize and replace former
   410     INT_cong, SUP_cong
   411 
   412 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   413 
   414 * SUP and INF generalized to conditionally_complete_lattice.
   415 
   416 * Swapped orientation of facts image_comp and vimage_comp:
   417 
   418   image_compose ~> image_comp [symmetric]
   419   image_comp ~> image_comp [symmetric]

   573   - When devising rule sets for number calculation, consider the
   574     following canonical cases: 0, 1, numeral _, - 1, - numeral _.
   575   - HOLogic.dest_number also recognizes numerals in non-canonical forms
   576     like "numeral One", "- numeral One", "- 0" and even "- ... - _".

   629 
   630 To restore proofs, the following patterns are helpful:

   632 a) Arbitrary failing proof not involving "diff_def":
   633 Consider simplification with algebra_simps or field_simps.
   634 
   635 b) Lifting rules from addition to subtraction:
   636 Try with "using <rule for addition> of [... "- _" ...]" by simp".
   637 
   638 c) Simplification with "diff_def": just drop "diff_def".
   639 Consider simplification with algebra_simps or field_simps;
   640 or the brute way with
   641 "simp add: diff_conv_add_uminus del: add_uminus_conv_diff".
   642 
   643 * Introduce bdd_above and bdd_below in theory
   644 Conditionally_Complete_Lattices, use them instead of explicitly
   645 stating boundedness of sets.
   646 
   647 * ccpo.admissible quantifies only over non-empty chains to allow more
   648 syntax-directed proof rules; the case of the empty chain shows up as
   649 additional case in fixpoint induction proofs.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

   685   - "DERIV f x : f'" and "FDERIV f x : f'" syntax is only available as
   686     input syntax.
   687 
   688   - "DERIV f x : s : f'" and "FDERIV f x : s : f'" syntax removed.

   693 
   694   - removed DERIV_intros, has_derivative_eq_intros
   695 
   696   - introduced derivative_intros and deriative_eq_intros which
   697     includes now rules for DERIV, has_derivative and
   698     has_vector_derivative.

   709 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   710 
   711 * Include more theorems in continuous_intros. Remove the
   712 continuous_on_intros, isCont_intros collections, these facts are now
   713 in continuous_intros.
   714 
   715 * Theorems about complex numbers are now stated only using Re and Im,
   716 the Complex constructor is not used anymore. It is possible to use
   717 primcorec to defined the behaviour of a complex-valued function.
   718 
   719 Removed theorems about the Complex constructor from the simpset, they
   720 are available as the lemma collection legacy_Complex_simps. This

   790   - New theory Complex_Basic_Analysis defining complex derivatives,
   791     holomorphic functions, etc., ported from HOL Light's canal.ml.
   792   - Changed order of ordered_euclidean_space to be compatible with
   793     pointwise ordering on products. Therefore instance of
   794     conditionally_complete_lattice and ordered_real_vector.
   795     INCOMPATIBILITY: use box instead of greaterThanLessThan or
   796     explicit set-comprehensions with eucl_less for other (half-)open
   797     intervals.
   798   - removed dependencies on type class ordered_euclidean_space with
   799     introduction of "cbox" on euclidean_space
   800     - renamed theorems:
   801         interval ~> box

   834 
   835     - respective theorems for intervals over the reals:

   852         integrable_on_subinterval + integrable_on_subcbox
   853 
   854   - renamed theorems:

   856     derivative_is_linear      ~>  has_derivative_linear
   857     bounded_linear_imp_linear ~>  bounded_linear.linear
   858 
   859 * HOL-Probability:
   860   - replaced the Lebesgue integral on real numbers by the more general
   861     Bochner integral for functions into a real-normed vector space.

   911 
   912     The following theorems where removed:
   913 
   914     lebesgue_integral_nonneg
   915     lebesgue_integral_uminus
   916     lebesgue_integral_cmult
   917     lebesgue_integral_multc
   918     lebesgue_integral_cmult_nonneg
   919     integral_cmul_indicator
   920     integral_real
   921 
   922   - Renamed positive_integral to nn_integral:
   923 
   924     . Renamed all lemmas "*positive_integral*" to *nn_integral*"
   925       positive_integral_positive ~> nn_integral_nonneg
   926 
   927     . Renamed abbreviation integral\<^sup>P to integral\<^sup>N.
   928 
   929   - Formalized properties about exponentially, Erlang, and normal
   930     distributed random variables.
   931 
   932 * HOL-Decision_Procs: Separate command 'approximate' for approximative
   933 computation in src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation.  Minor
   934 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   935 
   936 
   937 *** Scala ***
   938 
   939 * The signature and semantics of Document.Snapshot.cumulate_markup /
   940 select_markup have been clarified.  Markup is now traversed in the
   941 order of reports given by the prover: later markup is usually more
   942 specific and may override results accumulated so far.  The elements
   943 guard is mandatory and checked precisely.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
   944 
   945 * Substantial reworking of internal PIDE protocol communication
   946 channels.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   947 
   948 
   949 *** ML ***
   950 
   951 * Subtle change of semantics of Thm.eq_thm: theory stamps are not
   952 compared (according to Thm.thm_ord), but assumed to be covered by the
   953 current background theory.  Thus equivalent data produced in different
   954 branches of the theory graph usually coincides (e.g. relevant for
   955 theory merge).  Note that the softer Thm.eq_thm_prop is often more
   956 appropriate than Thm.eq_thm.
   957 
   958 * Proper context for basic Simplifier operations: rewrite_rule,
   959 rewrite_goals_rule, rewrite_goals_tac etc. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to
   960 pass runtime Proof.context (and ensure that the simplified entity
   961 actually belongs to it).
   962 
   963 * Proper context discipline for read_instantiate and instantiate_tac:
   964 variables that are meant to become schematic need to be given as
   965 fixed, and are generalized by the explicit context of local variables.
   966 This corresponds to Isar attributes "where" and "of" with 'for'
   967 declaration.  INCOMPATIBILITY, also due to potential change of indices
   968 of schematic variables.
   969 
   970 * Moved ML_Compiler.exn_trace and other operations on exceptions to
   971 structure Runtime.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   972 
   973 * Discontinued old Toplevel.debug in favour of system option
   974 "ML_exception_trace", which may be also declared within the context
   975 via "declare [[ML_exception_trace = true]]".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   976 
   977 * Renamed configuration option "ML_trace" to "ML_source_trace". Minor
   978 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   979 
   980 * Configuration option "ML_print_depth" controls the pretty-printing
   981 depth of the ML compiler within the context.  The old print_depth in
   982 ML is still available as default_print_depth, but rarely used.  Minor
   983 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   984 
   985 * Toplevel function "use" refers to raw ML bootstrap environment,
   986 without Isar context nor antiquotations.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
   987 Note that 'ML_file' is the canonical command to load ML files into the
   988 formal context.
   989 
   990 * Simplified programming interface to define ML antiquotations, see
   991 structure ML_Antiquotation.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   992 
   993 * ML antiquotation @{here} refers to its source position, which is
   994 occasionally useful for experimentation and diagnostic purposes.
   995 
   996 * ML antiquotation @{path} produces a Path.T value, similarly to
   997 Path.explode, but with compile-time check against the file-system and
   998 some PIDE markup.  Note that unlike theory source, ML does not have a
   999 well-defined master directory, so an absolute symbolic path
  1000 specification is usually required, e.g. "~~/src/HOL".
  1001 
  1002 * ML antiquotation @{print} inlines a function to print an arbitrary
  1003 ML value, which is occasionally useful for diagnostic or demonstration
  1004 purposes.
  1005 
  1006 
  1007 *** System ***
  1008 
  1009 * Proof General with its traditional helper scripts is now an optional
  1010 Isabelle component, e.g. see ProofGeneral-4.2-2 from the Isabelle
  1011 component repository http://isabelle.in.tum.de/components/.  Note that
  1012 the "system" manual provides general explanations about add-on
  1013 components, especially those that are not bundled with the release.
  1014 
  1015 * The raw Isabelle process executable has been renamed from
  1016 "isabelle-process" to "isabelle_process", which conforms to common
  1017 shell naming conventions, and allows to define a shell function within
  1018 the Isabelle environment to avoid dynamic path lookup.  Rare
  1019 incompatibility for old tools that do not use the ISABELLE_PROCESS
  1020 settings variable.
  1021 
  1022 * Former "isabelle tty" has been superseded by "isabelle console",
  1023 with implicit build like "isabelle jedit", and without the mostly
  1024 obsolete Isar TTY loop.
  1025 
  1026 * Simplified "isabelle display" tool.  Settings variables DVI_VIEWER
  1027 and PDF_VIEWER now refer to the actual programs, not shell
  1028 command-lines.  Discontinued option -c: invocation may be asynchronous
  1029 via desktop environment, without any special precautions.  Potential
  1030 INCOMPATIBILITY with ambitious private settings.
  1031 
  1032 * Removed obsolete "isabelle unsymbolize".  Note that the usual format
  1033 for email communication is the Unicode rendering of Isabelle symbols,
  1034 as produced by Isabelle/jEdit, for example.
  1035 
  1036 * Removed obsolete tool "wwwfind". Similar functionality may be
  1037 integrated into Isabelle/jEdit eventually.
  1038 
  1039 * Improved 'display_drafts' concerning desktop integration and
  1040 repeated invocation in PIDE front-end: re-use single file
  1041 $ISABELLE_HOME_USER/tmp/drafts.pdf and corresponding views.
  1042 
  1043 * Session ROOT specifications require explicit 'document_files' for
  1044 robust dependencies on LaTeX sources.  Only these explicitly given
  1045 files are copied to the document output directory, before document
  1046 processing is started.
  1047 
  1048 * Windows: support for regular TeX installation (e.g. MiKTeX) instead
  1049 of TeX Live from Cygwin.
  1050 
  1051 
  1052 
  1053 New in Isabelle2013-2 (December 2013)
  1054 -------------------------------------
  1055 
  1056 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
  1057 
  1058 * More robust editing of running commands with internal forks,
  1059 e.g. non-terminating 'by' steps.
  1060 
  1061 * More relaxed Sledgehammer panel: avoid repeated application of query
  1062 after edits surrounding the command location.
  1063 
  1064 * More status information about commands that are interrupted
  1065 accidentally (via physical event or Poly/ML runtime system signal,
  1066 e.g. out-of-memory).
  1067 
  1068 
  1069 *** System ***
  1070 
  1071 * More robust termination of external processes managed by
  1072 Isabelle/ML: support cancellation of tasks within the range of
  1073 milliseconds, as required for PIDE document editing with automatically
  1074 tried tools (e.g. Sledgehammer).
  1075 
  1076 * Reactivated Isabelle/Scala kill command for external processes on
  1077 Mac OS X, which was accidentally broken in Isabelle2013-1 due to a
  1078 workaround for some Debian/Ubuntu Linux versions from 2013.
  1079 
  1080 
  1081 
  1082 New in Isabelle2013-1 (November 2013)
  1083 -------------------------------------
  1084 
  1085 *** General ***
  1086 
  1087 * Discontinued obsolete 'uses' within theory header.  Note that
  1088 commands like 'ML_file' work without separate declaration of file
  1089 dependencies.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1090 
  1091 * Discontinued redundant 'use' command, which was superseded by
  1092 'ML_file' in Isabelle2013.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1093 
  1094 * Simplified subscripts within identifiers, using plain \<^sub>
  1095 instead of the second copy \<^isub> and \<^isup>.  Superscripts are
  1096 only for literal tokens within notation; explicit mixfix annotations
  1097 for consts or fixed variables may be used as fall-back for unusual
  1098 names.  Obsolete \<twosuperior> has been expanded to \<^sup>2 in
  1099 Isabelle/HOL.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "isabelle update_sub_sup" to
  1100 standardize symbols as a starting point for further manual cleanup.
  1101 The ML reference variable "legacy_isub_isup" may be set as temporary
  1102 workaround, to make the prover accept a subset of the old identifier
  1103 syntax.
  1104 
  1105 * Document antiquotations: term style "isub" has been renamed to
  1106 "sub".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1107 
  1108 * Uniform management of "quick_and_dirty" as system option (see also
  1109 "isabelle options"), configuration option within the context (see also
  1110 Config.get in Isabelle/ML), and attribute in Isabelle/Isar.  Minor
  1111 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use more official Isabelle means to access
  1112 quick_and_dirty, instead of historical poking into mutable reference.
  1113 
  1114 * Renamed command 'print_configs' to 'print_options'.  Minor
  1115 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1116 
  1117 * Proper diagnostic command 'print_state'.  Old 'pr' (with its
  1118 implicit change of some global references) is retained for now as
  1119 control command, e.g. for ProofGeneral 3.7.x.
  1120 
  1121 * Discontinued 'print_drafts' command with its old-fashioned PS output
  1122 and Unix command-line print spooling.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: use
  1123 'display_drafts' instead and print via the regular document viewer.
  1124 
  1125 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual,
  1126 eliminated old "ref" manual.
  1127 
  1128 
  1129 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
  1130 
  1131 * New manual "jedit" for Isabelle/jEdit, see isabelle doc or
  1132 Documentation panel.
  1133 
  1134 * Dockable window "Documentation" provides access to Isabelle
  1135 documentation.
  1136 
  1137 * Dockable window "Find" provides query operations for formal entities
  1138 (GUI front-end to 'find_theorems' command).
  1139 
  1140 * Dockable window "Sledgehammer" manages asynchronous / parallel
  1141 sledgehammer runs over existing document sources, independently of
  1142 normal editing and checking process.
  1143 
  1144 * Dockable window "Timing" provides an overview of relevant command
  1145 timing information, depending on option jedit_timing_threshold.  The
  1146 same timing information is shown in the extended tooltip of the
  1147 command keyword, when hovering the mouse over it while the CONTROL or
  1148 COMMAND modifier is pressed.
  1149 
  1150 * Improved dockable window "Theories": Continuous checking of proof
  1151 document (visible and required parts) may be controlled explicitly,
  1152 using check box or shortcut "C+e ENTER".  Individual theory nodes may
  1153 be marked explicitly as required and checked in full, using check box
  1154 or shortcut "C+e SPACE".
  1155 
  1156 * Improved completion mechanism, which is now managed by the
  1157 Isabelle/jEdit plugin instead of SideKick.  Refined table of Isabelle
  1158 symbol abbreviations (see $ISABELLE_HOME/etc/symbols).
  1159 
  1160 * Standard jEdit keyboard shortcut C+b complete-word is remapped to
  1161 isabelle.complete for explicit completion in Isabelle sources.
  1162 INCOMPATIBILITY wrt. jEdit defaults, may have to invent new shortcuts
  1163 to resolve conflict.
  1164 
  1165 * Improved support of various "minor modes" for Isabelle NEWS,
  1166 options, session ROOT etc., with completion and SideKick tree view.
  1167 
  1168 * Strictly monotonic document update, without premature cancellation of
  1169 running transactions that are still needed: avoid reset/restart of
  1170 such command executions while editing.
  1171 
  1172 * Support for asynchronous print functions, as overlay to existing
  1173 document content.
  1174 
  1175 * Support for automatic tools in HOL, which try to prove or disprove
  1176 toplevel theorem statements.
  1177 
  1178 * Action isabelle.reset-font-size resets main text area font size
  1179 according to Isabelle/Scala plugin option "jedit_font_reset_size" (see
  1180 also "Plugin Options / Isabelle / General").  It can be bound to some
  1181 keyboard shortcut by the user (e.g. C+0 and/or C+NUMPAD0).
  1182 
  1183 * File specifications in jEdit (e.g. file browser) may refer to
  1184 $ISABELLE_HOME and $ISABELLE_HOME_USER on all platforms.  Discontinued
  1185 obsolete $ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS variable.
  1186 
  1187 * Improved support for Linux look-and-feel "GTK+", see also "Utilities
  1188 / Global Options / Appearance".
  1189 
  1190 * Improved support of native Mac OS X functionality via "MacOSX"
  1191 plugin, which is now enabled by default.
  1192 
  1193 
  1194 *** Pure ***
  1195 
  1196 * Commands 'interpretation' and 'sublocale' are now target-sensitive.
  1197 In particular, 'interpretation' allows for non-persistent
  1198 interpretation within "context ... begin ... end" blocks offering a
  1199 light-weight alternative to 'sublocale'.  See "isar-ref" manual for
  1200 details.
  1201 
  1202 * Improved locales diagnostic command 'print_dependencies'.
  1203 
  1204 * Discontinued obsolete 'axioms' command, which has been marked as
  1205 legacy since Isabelle2009-2.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use 'axiomatization'
  1206 instead, while observing its uniform scope for polymorphism.
  1207 
  1208 * Discontinued empty name bindings in 'axiomatization'.
  1209 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1210 
  1211 * System option "proofs" has been discontinued.  Instead the global
  1212 state of Proofterm.proofs is persistently compiled into logic images
  1213 as required, notably HOL-Proofs.  Users no longer need to change
  1214 Proofterm.proofs dynamically.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1215 
  1216 * Syntax translation functions (print_translation etc.) always depend
  1217 on Proof.context.  Discontinued former "(advanced)" option -- this is
  1218 now the default.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1219 
  1220 * Former global reference trace_unify_fail is now available as
  1221 configuration option "unify_trace_failure" (global context only).
  1222 
  1223 * SELECT_GOAL now retains the syntactic context of the overall goal
  1224 state (schematic variables etc.).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare
  1225 situations.
  1226 
  1227 
  1228 *** HOL ***
  1229 
  1230 * Stronger precedence of syntax for big intersection and union on
  1231 sets, in accordance with corresponding lattice operations.
  1232 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1233 
  1234 * Notation "{p:A. P}" now allows tuple patterns as well.
  1235 
  1236 * Nested case expressions are now translated in a separate check phase
  1237 rather than during parsing. The data for case combinators is separated
  1238 from the datatype package. The declaration attribute
  1239 "case_translation" can be used to register new case combinators:
  1240 
  1241   declare [[case_translation case_combinator constructor1 ... constructorN]]
  1242 
  1243 * Code generator:
  1244   - 'code_printing' unifies 'code_const' / 'code_type' / 'code_class' /
  1245     'code_instance'.
  1246   - 'code_identifier' declares name hints for arbitrary identifiers in
  1247     generated code, subsuming 'code_modulename'.
  1248 
  1249 See the isar-ref manual for syntax diagrams, and the HOL theories for
  1250 examples.
  1251 
  1252 * Attibute 'code': 'code' now declares concrete and abstract code
  1253 equations uniformly.  Use explicit 'code equation' and 'code abstract'
  1254 to distinguish both when desired.
  1255 
  1256 * Discontinued theories Code_Integer and Efficient_Nat by a more
  1257 fine-grain stack of theories Code_Target_Int, Code_Binary_Nat,
  1258 Code_Target_Nat and Code_Target_Numeral.  See the tutorial on code
  1259 generation for details.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1260 
  1261 * Numeric types are mapped by default to target language numerals:
  1262 natural (replaces former code_numeral) and integer (replaces former
  1263 code_int).  Conversions are available as integer_of_natural /
  1264 natural_of_integer / integer_of_nat / nat_of_integer (in HOL) and
  1265 Code_Numeral.integer_of_natural / Code_Numeral.natural_of_integer (in
  1266 ML).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1267 
  1268 * Function package: For mutually recursive functions f and g, separate
  1269 cases rules f.cases and g.cases are generated instead of unusable
  1270 f_g.cases which exposed internal sum types. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
  1271 in the case that the unusable rule was used nevertheless.
  1272 
  1273 * Function package: For each function f, new rules f.elims are
  1274 generated, which eliminate equalities of the form "f x = t".
  1275 
  1276 * New command 'fun_cases' derives ad-hoc elimination rules for
  1277 function equations as simplified instances of f.elims, analogous to
  1278 inductive_cases.  See ~~/src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy for some examples.
  1279 
  1280 * Lifting:
  1281   - parametrized correspondence relations are now supported:
  1282     + parametricity theorems for the raw term can be specified in
  1283       the command lift_definition, which allow us to generate stronger
  1284       transfer rules
  1285     + setup_lifting generates stronger transfer rules if parametric
  1286       correspondence relation can be generated
  1287     + various new properties of the relator must be specified to support
  1288       parametricity
  1289     + parametricity theorem for the Quotient relation can be specified
  1290   - setup_lifting generates domain rules for the Transfer package
  1291   - stronger reflexivity prover of respectfulness theorems for type
  1292     copies
  1293   - ===> and --> are now local. The symbols can be introduced
  1294     by interpreting the locale lifting_syntax (typically in an
  1295     anonymous context)
  1296   - Lifting/Transfer relevant parts of Library/Quotient_* are now in
  1297     Main. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  1298   - new commands for restoring and deleting Lifting/Transfer context:
  1299     lifting_forget, lifting_update
  1300   - the command print_quotmaps was renamed to print_quot_maps.
  1301     INCOMPATIBILITY
  1302 
  1303 * Transfer:
  1304   - better support for domains in Transfer: replace Domainp T
  1305     by the actual invariant in a transferred goal
  1306   - transfer rules can have as assumptions other transfer rules
  1307   - Experimental support for transferring from the raw level to the
  1308     abstract level: Transfer.transferred attribute
  1309   - Attribute version of the transfer method: untransferred attribute
  1310 
  1311 * Reification and reflection:
  1312   - Reification is now directly available in HOL-Main in structure
  1313     "Reification".
  1314   - Reflection now handles multiple lists with variables also.
  1315   - The whole reflection stack has been decomposed into conversions.
  1316 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1317 
  1318 * Revised devices for recursive definitions over finite sets:
  1319   - Only one fundamental fold combinator on finite set remains:
  1320     Finite_Set.fold :: ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  1321     This is now identity on infinite sets.
  1322   - Locales ("mini packages") for fundamental definitions with
  1323     Finite_Set.fold: folding, folding_idem.
  1324   - Locales comm_monoid_set, semilattice_order_set and
  1325     semilattice_neutr_order_set for big operators on sets.
  1326     See theory Big_Operators for canonical examples.
  1327     Note that foundational constants comm_monoid_set.F and
  1328     semilattice_set.F correspond to former combinators fold_image
  1329     and fold1 respectively.  These are now gone.  You may use
  1330     those foundational constants as substitutes, but it is
  1331     preferable to interpret the above locales accordingly.
  1332   - Dropped class ab_semigroup_idem_mult (special case of lattice,
  1333     no longer needed in connection with Finite_Set.fold etc.)
  1334   - Fact renames:
  1335       card.union_inter ~> card_Un_Int [symmetric]
  1336       card.union_disjoint ~> card_Un_disjoint
  1337 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1338 
  1339 * Locale hierarchy for abstract orderings and (semi)lattices.
  1340 
  1341 * Complete_Partial_Order.admissible is defined outside the type class
  1342 ccpo, but with mandatory prefix ccpo. Admissibility theorems lose the
  1343 class predicate assumption or sort constraint when possible.
  1344 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1345 
  1346 * Introduce type class "conditionally_complete_lattice": Like a
  1347 complete lattice but does not assume the existence of the top and
  1348 bottom elements.  Allows to generalize some lemmas about reals and
  1349 extended reals.  Removed SupInf and replaced it by the instantiation
  1350 of conditionally_complete_lattice for real. Renamed lemmas about
  1351 conditionally-complete lattice from Sup_... to cSup_... and from
  1352 Inf_...  to cInf_... to avoid hidding of similar complete lattice
  1353 lemmas.
  1354 
  1355 * Introduce type class linear_continuum as combination of
  1356 conditionally-complete lattices and inner dense linorders which have
  1357 more than one element.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1358 
  1359 * Introduced type classes order_top and order_bot. The old classes top
  1360 and bot only contain the syntax without assumptions.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  1361 Rename bot -> order_bot, top -> order_top
  1362 
  1363 * Introduce type classes "no_top" and "no_bot" for orderings without
  1364 top and bottom elements.
  1365 
  1366 * Split dense_linorder into inner_dense_order and no_top, no_bot.
  1367 
  1368 * Complex_Main: Unify and move various concepts from
  1369 HOL-Multivariate_Analysis to HOL-Complex_Main.
  1370 
  1371  - Introduce type class (lin)order_topology and
  1372    linear_continuum_topology.  Allows to generalize theorems about
  1373    limits and order.  Instances are reals and extended reals.
  1374 
  1375  - continuous and continuos_on from Multivariate_Analysis:
  1376    "continuous" is the continuity of a function at a filter.  "isCont"
  1377    is now an abbrevitation: "isCont x f == continuous (at _) f".
  1378 
  1379    Generalized continuity lemmas from isCont to continuous on an
  1380    arbitrary filter.
  1381 
  1382  - compact from Multivariate_Analysis. Use Bolzano's lemma to prove
  1383    compactness of closed intervals on reals. Continuous functions
  1384    attain infimum and supremum on compact sets. The inverse of a
  1385    continuous function is continuous, when the function is continuous
  1386    on a compact set.
  1387 
  1388  - connected from Multivariate_Analysis. Use it to prove the
  1389    intermediate value theorem. Show connectedness of intervals on
  1390    linear_continuum_topology).
  1391 
  1392  - first_countable_topology from Multivariate_Analysis. Is used to
  1393    show equivalence of properties on the neighbourhood filter of x and
  1394    on all sequences converging to x.
  1395 
  1396  - FDERIV: Definition of has_derivative moved to Deriv.thy. Moved
  1397    theorems from Library/FDERIV.thy to Deriv.thy and base the
  1398    definition of DERIV on FDERIV. Add variants of DERIV and FDERIV
  1399    which are restricted to sets, i.e. to represent derivatives from
  1400    left or right.
  1401 
  1402  - Removed the within-filter. It is replaced by the principal filter:
  1403 
  1404      F within X = inf F (principal X)
  1405 
  1406  - Introduce "at x within U" as a single constant, "at x" is now an
  1407    abbreviation for "at x within UNIV"
  1408 
  1409  - Introduce named theorem collections tendsto_intros,
  1410    continuous_intros, continuous_on_intros and FDERIV_intros. Theorems
  1411    in tendsto_intros (or FDERIV_intros) are also available as
  1412    tendsto_eq_intros (or FDERIV_eq_intros) where the right-hand side
  1413    is replaced by a congruence rule. This allows to apply them as
  1414    intro rules and then proving equivalence by the simplifier.
  1415 
  1416  - Restructured theories in HOL-Complex_Main:
  1417 
  1418    + Moved RealDef and RComplete into Real
  1419 
  1420    + Introduced Topological_Spaces and moved theorems about
  1421      topological spaces, filters, limits and continuity to it
  1422 
  1423    + Renamed RealVector to Real_Vector_Spaces
  1424 
  1425    + Split Lim, SEQ, Series into Topological_Spaces,
  1426      Real_Vector_Spaces, and Limits
  1427 
  1428    + Moved Ln and Log to Transcendental
  1429 
  1430    + Moved theorems about continuity from Deriv to Topological_Spaces
  1431 
  1432  - Remove various auxiliary lemmas.
  1433 
  1434 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1435 
  1436 * Nitpick:
  1437   - Added option "spy".
  1438   - Reduce incidence of "too high arity" errors.
  1439 
  1440 * Sledgehammer:
  1441   - Renamed option:
  1442       isar_shrink ~> isar_compress
  1443     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1444   - Added options "isar_try0", "spy".
  1445   - Better support for "isar_proofs".
  1446   - MaSh has been fined-tuned and now runs as a local server.
  1447 
  1448 * Improved support for ad hoc overloading of constants (see also
  1449 isar-ref manual and ~~/src/HOL/ex/Adhoc_Overloading_Examples.thy).
  1450 
  1451 * Library/Polynomial.thy:
  1452   - Use lifting for primitive definitions.
  1453   - Explicit conversions from and to lists of coefficients, used for
  1454     generated code.
  1455   - Replaced recursion operator poly_rec by fold_coeffs.
  1456   - Prefer pre-existing gcd operation for gcd.
  1457   - Fact renames:
  1458     poly_eq_iff ~> poly_eq_poly_eq_iff
  1459     poly_ext ~> poly_eqI
  1460     expand_poly_eq ~> poly_eq_iff
  1461 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
  1462 
  1463 * New Library/Simps_Case_Conv.thy: Provides commands simps_of_case and
  1464 case_of_simps to convert function definitions between a list of
  1465 equations with patterns on the lhs and a single equation with case
  1466 expressions on the rhs. See also Ex/Simps_Case_Conv_Examples.thy.
  1467 
  1468 * New Library/FSet.thy: type of finite sets defined as a subtype of
  1469 sets defined by Lifting/Transfer.
  1470 
  1471 * Discontinued theory src/HOL/Library/Eval_Witness.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1472 
  1473 * Consolidation of library theories on product orders:
  1474 
  1475     Product_Lattice ~> Product_Order -- pointwise order on products
  1476     Product_ord ~> Product_Lexorder -- lexicographic order on products
  1477 
  1478 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1479 
  1480 * Imperative-HOL: The MREC combinator is considered legacy and no
  1481 longer included by default. INCOMPATIBILITY, use partial_function
  1482 instead, or import theory Legacy_Mrec as a fallback.
  1483 
  1484 * HOL-Algebra: Discontinued theories ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/abstract and
  1485 ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/poly.  Existing theories should be based on
  1486 ~~/src/HOL/Library/Polynomial instead.  The latter provides
  1487 integration with HOL's type classes for rings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1488 
  1489 * HOL-BNF:
  1490   - Various improvements to BNF-based (co)datatype package, including
  1491     new commands "primrec_new", "primcorec", and
  1492     "datatype_new_compat", as well as documentation. See
  1493     "datatypes.pdf" for details.
  1494   - New "coinduction" method to avoid some boilerplate (compared to
  1495     coinduct).
  1496   - Renamed keywords:
  1497     data ~> datatype_new
  1498     codata ~> codatatype
  1499     bnf_def ~> bnf
  1500   - Renamed many generated theorems, including
  1501     discs ~> disc
  1502     map_comp' ~> map_comp
  1503     map_id' ~> map_id
  1504     sels ~> sel
  1505     set_map' ~> set_map
  1506     sets ~> set
  1507 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
  1508 
  1509 
  1510 *** ML ***
  1511 
  1512 * Spec_Check is a Quickcheck tool for Isabelle/ML.  The ML function
  1513 "check_property" allows to check specifications of the form "ALL x y
  1514 z. prop x y z".  See also ~~/src/Tools/Spec_Check/ with its
  1515 Examples.thy in particular.
  1516 
  1517 * Improved printing of exception trace in Poly/ML 5.5.1, with regular
  1518 tracing output in the command transaction context instead of physical
  1519 stdout.  See also Toplevel.debug, Toplevel.debugging and
  1520 ML_Compiler.exn_trace.
  1521 
  1522 * ML type "theory" is now immutable, without any special treatment of
  1523 drafts or linear updates (which could lead to "stale theory" errors in
  1524 the past).  Discontinued obsolete operations like Theory.copy,
  1525 Theory.checkpoint, and the auxiliary type theory_ref.  Minor
  1526 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1527 
  1528 * More uniform naming of goal functions for skipped proofs:
  1529 
  1530     Skip_Proof.prove  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry
  1531     Skip_Proof.prove_global  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry_global
  1532 
  1533 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1534 
  1535 * Simplifier tactics and tools use proper Proof.context instead of
  1536 historic type simpset.  Old-style declarations like addsimps,
  1537 addsimprocs etc. operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type simpset
  1538 retains its use as snapshot of the main Simplifier context, using
  1539 simpset_of and put_simpset on Proof.context.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- port
  1540 old tools by making them depend on (ctxt : Proof.context) instead of
  1541 (ss : simpset), then turn (simpset_of ctxt) into ctxt.
  1542 
  1543 * Modifiers for classical wrappers (e.g. addWrapper, delWrapper)
  1544 operate on Proof.context instead of claset, for uniformity with addIs,
  1545 addEs, addDs etc. Note that claset_of and put_claset allow to manage
  1546 clasets separately from the context.
  1547 
  1548 * Discontinued obsolete ML antiquotations @{claset} and @{simpset}.
  1549 INCOMPATIBILITY, use @{context} instead.
  1550 
  1551 * Antiquotation @{theory_context A} is similar to @{theory A}, but
  1552 presents the result as initial Proof.context.
  1553 
  1554 
  1555 *** System ***
  1556 
  1557 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle usedir, mkdir, make -- superseded by
  1558 "isabelle build" in Isabelle2013.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1559 
  1560 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle-process options -f and -u (former
  1561 administrative aliases of option -e).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1562 
  1563 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle print tool, and PRINT_COMMAND
  1564 settings variable.
  1565 
  1566 * Discontinued ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT settings variable and historic
  1567 document formats: dvi.gz, ps, ps.gz -- the default document format is
  1568 always pdf.
  1569 
  1570 * Isabelle settings variable ISABELLE_BUILD_JAVA_OPTIONS allows to
  1571 specify global resources of the JVM process run by isabelle build.
  1572 
  1573 * Toplevel executable $ISABELLE_HOME/bin/isabelle_scala_script allows
  1574 to run Isabelle/Scala source files as standalone programs.
  1575 
  1576 * Improved "isabelle keywords" tool (for old-style ProofGeneral
  1577 keyword tables): use Isabelle/Scala operations, which inspect outer
  1578 syntax without requiring to build sessions first.
  1579 
  1580 * Sessions may be organized via 'chapter' specifications in the ROOT
  1581 file, which determines a two-level hierarchy of browser info.  The old
  1582 tree-like organization via implicit sub-session relation (with its
  1583 tendency towards erratic fluctuation of URLs) has been discontinued.
  1584 The default chapter is called "Unsorted".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  1585 for HTML presentation of theories.
  1586 
  1587 
  1588 
  1589 New in Isabelle2013 (February 2013)
  1590 -----------------------------------
  1591 
  1592 *** General ***
  1593 
  1594 * Theorem status about oracles and unfinished/failed future proofs is
  1595 no longer printed by default, since it is incompatible with
  1596 incremental / parallel checking of the persistent document model.  ML
  1597 function Thm.peek_status may be used to inspect a snapshot of the
  1598 ongoing evaluation process.  Note that in batch mode --- notably
  1599 isabelle build --- the system ensures that future proofs of all
  1600 accessible theorems in the theory context are finished (as before).
  1601 
  1602 * Configuration option show_markup controls direct inlining of markup
  1603 into the printed representation of formal entities --- notably type
  1604 and sort constraints.  This enables Prover IDE users to retrieve that
  1605 information via tooltips in the output window, for example.
  1606 
  1607 * Command 'ML_file' evaluates ML text from a file directly within the
  1608 theory, without any predeclaration via 'uses' in the theory header.
  1609 
  1610 * Old command 'use' command and corresponding keyword 'uses' in the
  1611 theory header are legacy features and will be discontinued soon.
  1612 Tools that load their additional source files may imitate the
  1613 'ML_file' implementation, such that the system can take care of
  1614 dependencies properly.
  1615 
  1616 * Discontinued obsolete method fastsimp / tactic fast_simp_tac, which
  1617 is called fastforce / fast_force_tac already since Isabelle2011-1.
  1618 
  1619 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual, reduced
  1620 remaining material in old "ref" manual.
  1621 
  1622 * Improved support for auxiliary contexts that indicate block structure
  1623 for specifications.  Nesting of "context fixes ... context assumes ..."
  1624 and "class ... context ...".
  1625 
  1626 * Attribute "consumes" allows a negative value as well, which is
  1627 interpreted relatively to the total number of premises of the rule in
  1628 the target context.  This form of declaration is stable when exported
  1629 from a nested 'context' with additional assumptions.  It is the
  1630 preferred form for definitional packages, notably cases/rules produced
  1631 in HOL/inductive and HOL/function.
  1632 
  1633 * More informative error messages for Isar proof commands involving
  1634 lazy enumerations (method applications etc.).
  1635 
  1636 * Refined 'help' command to retrieve outer syntax commands according
  1637 to name patterns (with clickable results).
  1638 
  1639 
  1640 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
  1641 
  1642 * Parallel terminal proofs ('by') are enabled by default, likewise
  1643 proofs that are built into packages like 'datatype', 'function'.  This
  1644 allows to "run ahead" checking the theory specifications on the
  1645 surface, while the prover is still crunching on internal
  1646 justifications.  Unfinished / cancelled proofs are restarted as
  1647 required to complete full proof checking eventually.
  1648 
  1649 * Improved output panel with tooltips, hyperlinks etc. based on the
  1650 same Rich_Text_Area as regular Isabelle/jEdit buffers.  Activation of
  1651 tooltips leads to some window that supports the same recursively,
  1652 which can lead to stacks of tooltips as the semantic document content
  1653 is explored.  ESCAPE closes the whole stack, individual windows may be
  1654 closed separately, or detached to become independent jEdit dockables.
  1655 
  1656 * Improved support for commands that produce graph output: the text
  1657 message contains a clickable area to open a new instance of the graph
  1658 browser on demand.
  1659 
  1660 * More robust incremental parsing of outer syntax (partial comments,
  1661 malformed symbols).  Changing the balance of open/close quotes and
  1662 comment delimiters works more conveniently with unfinished situations
  1663 that frequently occur in user interaction.
  1664 
  1665 * More efficient painting and improved reactivity when editing large
  1666 files.  More scalable management of formal document content.
  1667 
  1668 * Smarter handling of tracing messages: prover process pauses after
  1669 certain number of messages per command transaction, with some user
  1670 dialog to stop or continue.  This avoids swamping the front-end with
  1671 potentially infinite message streams.
  1672 
  1673 * More plugin options and preferences, based on Isabelle/Scala.  The
  1674 jEdit plugin option panel provides access to some Isabelle/Scala
  1675 options, including tuning parameters for editor reactivity and color
  1676 schemes.
  1677 
  1678 * Dockable window "Symbols" provides some editing support for Isabelle
  1679 symbols.
  1680 
  1681 * Dockable window "Monitor" shows ML runtime statistics.  Note that
  1682 continuous display of the chart slows down the system.
  1683 
  1684 * Improved editing support for control styles: subscript, superscript,
  1685 bold, reset of style -- operating on single symbols or text
  1686 selections.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C+e DOWN/UP/RIGHT/LEFT.
  1687 
  1688 * Actions isabelle.increase-font-size and isabelle.decrease-font-size
  1689 adjust the main text area font size, and its derivatives for output,
  1690 tooltips etc.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C-PLUS and C-MINUS, which often
  1691 need to be adapted to local keyboard layouts.
  1692 
  1693 * More reactive completion popup by default: use \t (TAB) instead of
  1694 \n (NEWLINE) to minimize intrusion into regular flow of editing.  See
  1695 also "Plugin Options / SideKick / General / Code Completion Options".
  1696 
  1697 * Implicit check and build dialog of the specified logic session
  1698 image.  For example, HOL, HOLCF, HOL-Nominal can be produced on
  1699 demand, without bundling big platform-dependent heap images in the
  1700 Isabelle distribution.
  1701 
  1702 * Uniform Java 7 platform on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows: recent updates
  1703 from Oracle provide better multi-platform experience.  This version is
  1704 now bundled exclusively with Isabelle.
  1705 
  1706 
  1707 *** Pure ***
  1708 
  1709 * Code generation for Haskell: restrict unqualified imports from
  1710 Haskell Prelude to a small set of fundamental operations.
  1711 
  1712 * Command 'export_code': relative file names are interpreted
  1713 relatively to master directory of current theory rather than the
  1714 rather arbitrary current working directory.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1715 
  1716 * Discontinued obsolete attribute "COMP".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
  1717 use regular rule composition via "OF" / "THEN", or explicit proof
  1718 structure instead.  Note that Isabelle/ML provides a variety of
  1719 operators like COMP, INCR_COMP, COMP_INCR, which need to be applied
  1720 with some care where this is really required.
  1721 
  1722 * Command 'typ' supports an additional variant with explicit sort
  1723 constraint, to infer and check the most general type conforming to a
  1724 given sort.  Example (in HOL):
  1725 
  1726   typ "_ * _ * bool * unit" :: finite
  1727 
  1728 * Command 'locale_deps' visualizes all locales and their relations as
  1729 a Hasse diagram.
  1730 
  1731 
  1732 *** HOL ***
  1733 
  1734 * Sledgehammer:
  1735 
  1736   - Added MaSh relevance filter based on machine-learning; see the
  1737     Sledgehammer manual for details.
  1738   - Polished Isar proofs generated with "isar_proofs" option.
  1739   - Rationalized type encodings ("type_enc" option).
  1740   - Renamed "kill_provers" subcommand to "kill_all".
  1741   - Renamed options:
  1742       isar_proof ~> isar_proofs
  1743       isar_shrink_factor ~> isar_shrink
  1744       max_relevant ~> max_facts
  1745       relevance_thresholds ~> fact_thresholds
  1746 
  1747 * Quickcheck: added an optimisation for equality premises.  It is
  1748 switched on by default, and can be switched off by setting the
  1749 configuration quickcheck_optimise_equality to false.
  1750 
  1751 * Quotient: only one quotient can be defined by quotient_type
  1752 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1753 
  1754 * Lifting:
  1755   - generation of an abstraction function equation in lift_definition
  1756   - quot_del attribute
  1757   - renamed no_abs_code -> no_code (INCOMPATIBILITY.)
  1758 
  1759 * Simproc "finite_Collect" rewrites set comprehensions into pointfree
  1760 expressions.
  1761 
  1762 * Preprocessing of the code generator rewrites set comprehensions into
  1763 pointfree expressions.
  1764 
  1765 * The SMT solver Z3 has now by default a restricted set of directly
  1766 supported features. For the full set of features (div/mod, nonlinear
  1767 arithmetic, datatypes/records) with potential proof reconstruction
  1768 failures, enable the configuration option "z3_with_extensions".  Minor
  1769 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1770 
  1771 * Simplified 'typedef' specifications: historical options for implicit
  1772 set definition and alternative name have been discontinued.  The
  1773 former behavior of "typedef (open) t = A" is now the default, but
  1774 written just "typedef t = A".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt theories
  1775 accordingly.
  1776 
  1777 * Removed constant "chars"; prefer "Enum.enum" on type "char"
  1778 directly.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1779 
  1780 * Moved operation product, sublists and n_lists from theory Enum to
  1781 List.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1782 
  1783 * Theorem UN_o generalized to SUP_comp.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1784 
  1785 * Class "comm_monoid_diff" formalises properties of bounded
  1786 subtraction, with natural numbers and multisets as typical instances.
  1787 
  1788 * Added combinator "Option.these" with type "'a option set => 'a set".
  1789 
  1790 * Theory "Transitive_Closure": renamed lemmas
  1791 
  1792   reflcl_tranclp -> reflclp_tranclp
  1793   rtranclp_reflcl -> rtranclp_reflclp
  1794 
  1795 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1796 
  1797 * Theory "Rings": renamed lemmas (in class semiring)
  1798 
  1799   left_distrib ~> distrib_right
  1800   right_distrib ~> distrib_left
  1801 
  1802 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1803 
  1804 * Generalized the definition of limits:
  1805 
  1806   - Introduced the predicate filterlim (LIM x F. f x :> G) which
  1807     expresses that when the input values x converge to F then the
  1808     output f x converges to G.
  1809 
  1810   - Added filters for convergence to positive (at_top) and negative
  1811     infinity (at_bot).
  1812 
  1813   - Moved infinity in the norm (at_infinity) from
  1814     Multivariate_Analysis to Complex_Main.
  1815 
  1816   - Removed real_tendsto_inf, it is superseded by "LIM x F. f x :>
  1817     at_top".
  1818 
  1819 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1820 
  1821 * Theory "Library/Option_ord" provides instantiation of option type to
  1822 lattice type classes.
  1823 
  1824 * Theory "Library/Multiset": renamed
  1825 
  1826     constant fold_mset ~> Multiset.fold
  1827     fact fold_mset_commute ~> fold_mset_comm
  1828 
  1829 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1830 
  1831 * Renamed theory Library/List_Prefix to Library/Sublist, with related
  1832 changes as follows.
  1833 
  1834   - Renamed constants (and related lemmas)
  1835 
  1836       prefix ~> prefixeq
  1837       strict_prefix ~> prefix
  1838 
  1839   - Replaced constant "postfix" by "suffixeq" with swapped argument
  1840     order (i.e., "postfix xs ys" is now "suffixeq ys xs") and dropped
  1841     old infix syntax "xs >>= ys"; use "suffixeq ys xs" instead.
  1842     Renamed lemmas accordingly.
  1843 
  1844   - Added constant "list_hembeq" for homeomorphic embedding on
  1845     lists. Added abbreviation "sublisteq" for special case
  1846     "list_hembeq (op =)".
  1847 
  1848   - Theory Library/Sublist no longer provides "order" and "bot" type
  1849     class instances for the prefix order (merely corresponding locale
  1850     interpretations). The type class instances are now in theory
  1851     Library/Prefix_Order.
  1852 
  1853   - The sublist relation of theory Library/Sublist_Order is now based
  1854     on "Sublist.sublisteq".  Renamed lemmas accordingly:
  1855 
  1856       le_list_append_le_same_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append_le_same_iff
  1857       le_list_append_mono ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_append_mono
  1858       le_list_below_empty ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil, Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil2
  1859       le_list_Cons_EX ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_ConsD
  1860       le_list_drop_Cons2 ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2'
  1861       le_list_drop_Cons_neq ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2_neq
  1862       le_list_drop_Cons ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons'
  1863       le_list_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_drop_many
  1864       le_list_filter_left ~> Sublist.sublisteq_filter_left
  1865       le_list_rev_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_rev_drop_many
  1866       le_list_rev_take_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append
  1867       le_list_same_length ~> Sublist.sublisteq_same_length
  1868       le_list_take_many_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append'
  1869       less_eq_list.drop ~> less_eq_list_drop
  1870       less_eq_list.induct ~> less_eq_list_induct
  1871       not_le_list_length ~> Sublist.not_sublisteq_length
  1872 
  1873 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1874 
  1875 * New theory Library/Countable_Set.
  1876 
  1877 * Theory Library/Debug and Library/Parallel provide debugging and
  1878 parallel execution for code generated towards Isabelle/ML.
  1879 
  1880 * Theory Library/FuncSet: Extended support for Pi and extensional and
  1881 introduce the extensional dependent function space "PiE". Replaced
  1882 extensional_funcset by an abbreviation, and renamed lemmas from
  1883 extensional_funcset to PiE as follows:
  1884 
  1885   extensional_empty  ~>  PiE_empty
  1886   extensional_funcset_empty_domain  ~>  PiE_empty_domain
  1887   extensional_funcset_empty_range  ~>  PiE_empty_range
  1888   extensional_funcset_arb  ~>  PiE_arb
  1889   extensional_funcset_mem  ~>  PiE_mem
  1890   extensional_funcset_extend_domainI  ~>  PiE_fun_upd
  1891   extensional_funcset_restrict_domain  ~>  fun_upd_in_PiE
  1892   extensional_funcset_extend_domain_eq  ~>  PiE_insert_eq
  1893   card_extensional_funcset  ~>  card_PiE
  1894   finite_extensional_funcset  ~>  finite_PiE
  1895 
  1896 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1897 
  1898 * Theory Library/FinFun: theory of almost everywhere constant
  1899 functions (supersedes the AFP entry "Code Generation for Functions as
  1900 Data").
  1901 
  1902 * Theory Library/Phantom: generic phantom type to make a type
  1903 parameter appear in a constant's type.  This alternative to adding
  1904 TYPE('a) as another parameter avoids unnecessary closures in generated
  1905 code.
  1906 
  1907 * Theory Library/RBT_Impl: efficient construction of red-black trees
  1908 from sorted associative lists. Merging two trees with rbt_union may
  1909 return a structurally different tree than before.  Potential
  1910 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1911 
  1912 * Theory Library/IArray: immutable arrays with code generation.
  1913 
  1914 * Theory Library/Finite_Lattice: theory of finite lattices.
  1915 
  1916 * HOL/Multivariate_Analysis: replaced
  1917 
  1918   "basis :: 'a::euclidean_space => nat => real"
  1919   "\<Chi>\<Chi> :: (nat => real) => 'a::euclidean_space"
  1920 
  1921 on euclidean spaces by using the inner product "_ \<bullet> _" with
  1922 vectors from the Basis set: "\<Chi>\<Chi> i. f i" is superseded by
  1923 "SUM i : Basis. f i * r i".
  1924 
  1925   With this change the following constants are also changed or removed:
  1926 
  1927     DIM('a) :: nat  ~>  card (Basis :: 'a set)   (is an abbreviation)
  1928     a $$ i  ~>  inner a i  (where i : Basis)
  1929     cart_base i  removed
  1930     \<pi>, \<pi>'  removed
  1931 
  1932   Theorems about these constants where removed.
  1933 
  1934   Renamed lemmas:
  1935 
  1936     component_le_norm  ~>  Basis_le_norm
  1937     euclidean_eq  ~>  euclidean_eq_iff
  1938     differential_zero_maxmin_component  ~>  differential_zero_maxmin_cart
  1939     euclidean_simps  ~>  inner_simps
  1940     independent_basis  ~>  independent_Basis
  1941     span_basis  ~>  span_Basis
  1942     in_span_basis  ~>  in_span_Basis
  1943     norm_bound_component_le  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_le
  1944     norm_bound_component_lt  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_lt
  1945     component_le_infnorm  ~>  Basis_le_infnorm
  1946 
  1947 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1948 
  1949 * HOL/Probability:
  1950 
  1951   - Added simproc "measurable" to automatically prove measurability.
  1952 
  1953   - Added induction rules for sigma sets with disjoint union
  1954     (sigma_sets_induct_disjoint) and for Borel-measurable functions
  1955     (borel_measurable_induct).
  1956 
  1957   - Added the Daniell-Kolmogorov theorem (the existence the limit of a
  1958     projective family).
  1959 
  1960 * HOL/Cardinals: Theories of ordinals and cardinals (supersedes the
  1961 AFP entry "Ordinals_and_Cardinals").
  1962 
  1963 * HOL/BNF: New (co)datatype package based on bounded natural functors
  1964 with support for mixed, nested recursion and interesting non-free
  1965 datatypes.
  1966 
  1967 * HOL/Finite_Set and Relation: added new set and relation operations
  1968 expressed by Finite_Set.fold.
  1969 
  1970 * New theory HOL/Library/RBT_Set: implementation of sets by red-black
  1971 trees for the code generator.
  1972 
  1973 * HOL/Library/RBT and HOL/Library/Mapping have been converted to
  1974 Lifting/Transfer.
  1975 possible INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1976 
  1977 * HOL/Set: renamed Set.project -> Set.filter
  1978 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1979 
  1980 
  1981 *** Document preparation ***
  1982 
  1983 * Dropped legacy antiquotations "term_style" and "thm_style", since
  1984 styles may be given as arguments to "term" and "thm" already.
  1985 Discontinued legacy styles "prem1" .. "prem19".
  1986 
  1987 * Default LaTeX rendering for \<euro> is now based on eurosym package,
  1988 instead of slightly exotic babel/greek.
  1989 
  1990 * Document variant NAME may use different LaTeX entry point
  1991 document/root_NAME.tex if that file exists, instead of the common
  1992 document/root.tex.
  1993 
  1994 * Simplified custom document/build script, instead of old-style
  1995 document/IsaMakefile.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1996 
  1997 
  1998 *** ML ***
  1999 
  2000 * The default limit for maximum number of worker threads is now 8,
  2001 instead of 4, in correspondence to capabilities of contemporary
  2002 hardware and Poly/ML runtime system.
  2003 
  2004 * Type Seq.results and related operations support embedded error
  2005 messages within lazy enumerations, and thus allow to provide
  2006 informative errors in the absence of any usable results.
  2007 
  2008 * Renamed Position.str_of to Position.here to emphasize that this is a
  2009 formal device to inline positions into message text, but not
  2010 necessarily printing visible text.
  2011 
  2012 
  2013 *** System ***
  2014 
  2015 * Advanced support for Isabelle sessions and build management, see
  2016 "system" manual for the chapter of that name, especially the "isabelle
  2017 build" tool and its examples.  The "isabelle mkroot" tool prepares
  2018 session root directories for use with "isabelle build", similar to
  2019 former "isabelle mkdir" for "isabelle usedir".  Note that this affects
  2020 document preparation as well.  INCOMPATIBILITY, isabelle usedir /
  2021 mkdir / make are rendered obsolete.
  2022 
  2023 * Discontinued obsolete Isabelle/build script, it is superseded by the
  2024 regular isabelle build tool.  For example:
  2025 
  2026   isabelle build -s -b HOL
  2027 
  2028 * Discontinued obsolete "isabelle makeall".
  2029 
  2030 * Discontinued obsolete IsaMakefile and ROOT.ML files from the
  2031 Isabelle distribution, except for rudimentary src/HOL/IsaMakefile that
  2032 provides some traditional targets that invoke "isabelle build".  Note
  2033 that this is inefficient!  Applications of Isabelle/HOL involving
  2034 "isabelle make" should be upgraded to use "isabelle build" directly.
  2035 
  2036 * The "isabelle options" tool prints Isabelle system options, as
  2037 required for "isabelle build", for example.
  2038 
  2039 * The "isabelle logo" tool produces EPS and PDF format simultaneously.
  2040 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY in command-line options.
  2041 
  2042 * The "isabelle install" tool has now a simpler command-line.  Minor
  2043 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2044 
  2045 * The "isabelle components" tool helps to resolve add-on components
  2046 that are not bundled, or referenced from a bare-bones repository
  2047 version of Isabelle.
  2048 
  2049 * Settings variable ISABELLE_PLATFORM_FAMILY refers to the general
  2050 platform family: "linux", "macos", "windows".
  2051 
  2052 * The ML system is configured as regular component, and no longer
  2053 picked up from some surrounding directory.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  2054 for home-made settings.
  2055 
  2056 * Improved ML runtime statistics (heap, threads, future tasks etc.).
  2057 
  2058 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2.1, which was the last version
  2059 without exception positions and advanced ML compiler/toplevel
  2060 configuration.
  2061 
  2062 * Discontinued special treatment of Proof General -- no longer guess
  2063 PROOFGENERAL_HOME based on accidental file-system layout.  Minor
  2064 INCOMPATIBILITY: provide PROOFGENERAL_HOME and PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS
  2065 settings manually, or use a Proof General version that has been
  2066 bundled as Isabelle component.
  2067 
  2068 
  2069 
  2070 New in Isabelle2012 (May 2012)
  2071 ------------------------------
  2072 
  2073 *** General ***
  2074 
  2075 * Prover IDE (PIDE) improvements:
  2076 
  2077   - more robust Sledgehammer integration (as before the sledgehammer
  2078     command-line needs to be typed into the source buffer)
  2079   - markup for bound variables
  2080   - markup for types of term variables (displayed as tooltips)
  2081   - support for user-defined Isar commands within the running session
  2082   - improved support for Unicode outside original 16bit range
  2083     e.g. glyph for \<A> (thanks to jEdit 4.5.1)
  2084 
  2085 * Forward declaration of outer syntax keywords within the theory
  2086 header -- minor INCOMPATIBILITY for user-defined commands.  Allow new
  2087 commands to be used in the same theory where defined.
  2088 
  2089 * Auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for specifications with
  2090 additional parameters and assumptions.  Such unnamed contexts may be
  2091 nested within other targets, like 'theory', 'locale', 'class',
  2092 'instantiation' etc.  Results from the local context are generalized
  2093 accordingly and applied to the enclosing target context.  Example:
  2094 
  2095   context
  2096     fixes x y z :: 'a
  2097     assumes xy: "x = y" and yz: "y = z"
  2098   begin
  2099 
  2100   lemma my_trans: "x = z" using xy yz by simp
  2101 
  2102   end
  2103 
  2104   thm my_trans
  2105 
  2106 The most basic application is to factor-out context elements of
  2107 several fixes/assumes/shows theorem statements, e.g. see
  2108 ~~/src/HOL/Isar_Examples/Group_Context.thy
  2109 
  2110 Any other local theory specification element works within the "context
  2111 ... begin ... end" block as well.
  2112 
  2113 * Bundled declarations associate attributed fact expressions with a
  2114 given name in the context.  These may be later included in other
  2115 contexts.  This allows to manage context extensions casually, without
  2116 the logical dependencies of locales and locale interpretation.  See
  2117 commands 'bundle', 'include', 'including' etc. in the isar-ref manual.
  2118 
  2119 * Commands 'lemmas' and 'theorems' allow local variables using 'for'
  2120 declaration, and results are standardized before being stored.  Thus
  2121 old-style "standard" after instantiation or composition of facts
  2122 becomes obsolete.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, due to potential change of
  2123 indices of schematic variables.
  2124 
  2125 * Rule attributes in local theory declarations (e.g. locale or class)
  2126 are now statically evaluated: the resulting theorem is stored instead
  2127 of the original expression.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  2128 the historic accident of dynamic re-evaluation in interpretations
  2129 etc. was exploited.
  2130 
  2131 * New tutorial "Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL"
  2132 ("prog-prove").  It completely supersedes "A Tutorial Introduction to
  2133 Structured Isar Proofs" ("isar-overview"), which has been removed.  It
  2134 also supersedes "Isabelle/HOL, A Proof Assistant for Higher-Order
  2135 Logic" as the recommended beginners tutorial, but does not cover all
  2136 of the material of that old tutorial.
  2137 
  2138 * Updated and extended reference manuals: "isar-ref",
  2139 "implementation", "system"; reduced remaining material in old "ref"
  2140 manual.
  2141 
  2142 
  2143 *** Pure ***
  2144 
  2145 * Command 'definition' no longer exports the foundational "raw_def"
  2146 into the user context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, may use the regular
  2147 "def" result with attribute "abs_def" to imitate the old version.
  2148 
  2149 * Attribute "abs_def" turns an equation of the form "f x y == t" into
  2150 "f == %x y. t", which ensures that "simp" or "unfold" steps always
  2151 expand it.  This also works for object-logic equality.  (Formerly
  2152 undocumented feature.)
  2153 
  2154 * Sort constraints are now propagated in simultaneous statements, just
  2155 like type constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  2156 distinct sorts used to be assigned accidentally.  For example:
  2157 
  2158   lemma "P (x::'a::foo)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"  -- "now illegal"
  2159 
  2160   lemma "P (x::'a)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"
  2161     -- "now uniform 'a::bar instead of default sort for first occurrence (!)"
  2162 
  2163 * Rule composition via attribute "OF" (or ML functions OF/MRS) is more
  2164 tolerant against multiple unifiers, as long as the final result is
  2165 unique.  (As before, rules are composed in canonical right-to-left
  2166 order to accommodate newly introduced premises.)
  2167 
  2168 * Renamed some inner syntax categories:
  2169 
  2170     num ~> num_token
  2171     xnum ~> xnum_token
  2172     xstr ~> str_token
  2173 
  2174 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that in practice "num_const" or
  2175 "num_position" etc. are mainly used instead (which also include
  2176 position information via constraints).
  2177 
  2178 * Simplified configuration options for syntax ambiguity: see
  2179 "syntax_ambiguity_warning" and "syntax_ambiguity_limit" in isar-ref
  2180 manual.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2181 
  2182 * Discontinued configuration option "syntax_positions": atomic terms
  2183 in parse trees are always annotated by position constraints.
  2184 
  2185 * Old code generator for SML and its commands 'code_module',
  2186 'code_library', 'consts_code', 'types_code' have been discontinued.
  2187 Use commands of the generic code generator instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2188 
  2189 * Redundant attribute "code_inline" has been discontinued. Use
  2190 "code_unfold" instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2191 
  2192 * Dropped attribute "code_unfold_post" in favor of the its dual
  2193 "code_abbrev", which yields a common pattern in definitions like
  2194 
  2195   definition [code_abbrev]: "f = t"
  2196 
  2197 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2198 
  2199 * Obsolete 'types' command has been discontinued.  Use 'type_synonym'
  2200 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2201 
  2202 * Discontinued old "prems" fact, which used to refer to the accidental
  2203 collection of foundational premises in the context (already marked as
  2204 legacy since Isabelle2011).
  2205 
  2206 
  2207 *** HOL ***
  2208 
  2209 * Type 'a set is now a proper type constructor (just as before
  2210 Isabelle2008).  Definitions mem_def and Collect_def have disappeared.
  2211 Non-trivial INCOMPATIBILITY.  For developments keeping predicates and
  2212 sets separate, it is often sufficient to rephrase some set S that has
  2213 been accidentally used as predicates by "%x. x : S", and some
  2214 predicate P that has been accidentally used as set by "{x. P x}".
  2215 Corresponding proofs in a first step should be pruned from any
  2216 tinkering with former theorems mem_def and Collect_def as far as
  2217 possible.
  2218 
  2219 For developments which deliberately mix predicates and sets, a
  2220 planning step is necessary to determine what should become a predicate
  2221 and what a set.  It can be helpful to carry out that step in
  2222 Isabelle2011-1 before jumping right into the current release.
  2223 
  2224 * Code generation by default implements sets as container type rather
  2225 than predicates.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2226 
  2227 * New type synonym 'a rel = ('a * 'a) set
  2228 
  2229 * The representation of numerals has changed.  Datatype "num"
  2230 represents strictly positive binary numerals, along with functions
  2231 "numeral :: num => 'a" and "neg_numeral :: num => 'a" to represent
  2232 positive and negated numeric literals, respectively.  See also
  2233 definitions in ~~/src/HOL/Num.thy.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, some
  2234 user theories may require adaptations as follows:
  2235 
  2236   - Theorems with number_ring or number_semiring constraints: These
  2237     classes are gone; use comm_ring_1 or comm_semiring_1 instead.
  2238 
  2239   - Theories defining numeric types: Remove number, number_semiring,
  2240     and number_ring instances. Defer all theorems about numerals until
  2241     after classes one and semigroup_add have been instantiated.
  2242 
  2243   - Numeral-only simp rules: Replace each rule having a "number_of v"
  2244     pattern with two copies, one for numeral and one for neg_numeral.
  2245 
  2246   - Theorems about subclasses of semiring_1 or ring_1: These classes
  2247     automatically support numerals now, so more simp rules and
  2248     simprocs may now apply within the proof.
  2249 
  2250   - Definitions and theorems using old constructors Pls/Min/Bit0/Bit1:
  2251     Redefine using other integer operations.
  2252 
  2253 * Transfer: New package intended to generalize the existing
  2254 "descending" method and related theorem attributes from the Quotient
  2255 package.  (Not all functionality is implemented yet, but future
  2256 development will focus on Transfer as an eventual replacement for the
  2257 corresponding parts of the Quotient package.)
  2258 
  2259   - transfer_rule attribute: Maintains a collection of transfer rules,
  2260     which relate constants at two different types. Transfer rules may
  2261     relate different type instances of the same polymorphic constant,
  2262     or they may relate an operation on a raw type to a corresponding
  2263     operation on an abstract type (quotient or subtype). For example:
  2264 
  2265     ((A ===> B) ===> list_all2 A ===> list_all2 B) map map
  2266     (cr_int ===> cr_int ===> cr_int) (%(x,y) (u,v). (x+u, y+v)) plus_int
  2267 
  2268   - transfer method: Replaces a subgoal on abstract types with an
  2269     equivalent subgoal on the corresponding raw types. Constants are
  2270     replaced with corresponding ones according to the transfer rules.
  2271     Goals are generalized over all free variables by default; this is
  2272     necessary for variables whose types change, but can be overridden
  2273     for specific variables with e.g. "transfer fixing: x y z".  The
  2274     variant transfer' method allows replacing a subgoal with one that
  2275     is logically stronger (rather than equivalent).
  2276 
  2277   - relator_eq attribute: Collects identity laws for relators of
  2278     various type constructors, e.g. "list_all2 (op =) = (op =)".  The
  2279     transfer method uses these lemmas to infer transfer rules for
  2280     non-polymorphic constants on the fly.
  2281 
  2282   - transfer_prover method: Assists with proving a transfer rule for a
  2283     new constant, provided the constant is defined in terms of other
  2284     constants that already have transfer rules. It should be applied
  2285     after unfolding the constant definitions.
  2286 
  2287   - HOL/ex/Transfer_Int_Nat.thy: Example theory demonstrating transfer
  2288     from type nat to type int.
  2289 
  2290 * Lifting: New package intended to generalize the quotient_definition
  2291 facility of the Quotient package; designed to work with Transfer.
  2292 
  2293   - lift_definition command: Defines operations on an abstract type in
  2294     terms of a corresponding operation on a representation
  2295     type.  Example syntax:
  2296 
  2297     lift_definition dlist_insert :: "'a => 'a dlist => 'a dlist"
  2298       is List.insert
  2299 
  2300     Users must discharge a respectfulness proof obligation when each
  2301     constant is defined. (For a type copy, i.e. a typedef with UNIV,
  2302     the proof is discharged automatically.) The obligation is
  2303     presented in a user-friendly, readable form; a respectfulness
  2304     theorem in the standard format and a transfer rule are generated
  2305     by the package.
  2306 
  2307   - Integration with code_abstype: For typedefs (e.g. subtypes
  2308     corresponding to a datatype invariant, such as dlist),
  2309     lift_definition generates a code certificate theorem and sets up
  2310     code generation for each constant.
  2311 
  2312   - setup_lifting command: Sets up the Lifting package to work with a
  2313     user-defined type. The user must provide either a quotient theorem
  2314     or a type_definition theorem.  The package configures transfer
  2315     rules for equality and quantifiers on the type, and sets up the
  2316     lift_definition command to work with the type.
  2317 
  2318   - Usage examples: See Quotient_Examples/Lift_DList.thy,
  2319     Quotient_Examples/Lift_RBT.thy, Quotient_Examples/Lift_FSet.thy,
  2320     Word/Word.thy and Library/Float.thy.
  2321 
  2322 * Quotient package:
  2323 
  2324   - The 'quotient_type' command now supports a 'morphisms' option with
  2325     rep and abs functions, similar to typedef.
  2326 
  2327   - 'quotient_type' sets up new types to work with the Lifting and
  2328     Transfer packages, as with 'setup_lifting'.
  2329 
  2330   - The 'quotient_definition' command now requires the user to prove a
  2331     respectfulness property at the point where the constant is
  2332     defined, similar to lift_definition; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2333 
  2334   - Renamed predicate 'Quotient' to 'Quotient3', and renamed theorems
  2335     accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2336 
  2337 * New diagnostic command 'find_unused_assms' to find potentially
  2338 superfluous assumptions in theorems using Quickcheck.
  2339 
  2340 * Quickcheck:
  2341 
  2342   - Quickcheck returns variable assignments as counterexamples, which
  2343     allows to reveal the underspecification of functions under test.
  2344     For example, refuting "hd xs = x", it presents the variable
  2345     assignment xs = [] and x = a1 as a counterexample, assuming that
  2346     any property is false whenever "hd []" occurs in it.
  2347 
  2348     These counterexample are marked as potentially spurious, as
  2349     Quickcheck also returns "xs = []" as a counterexample to the
  2350     obvious theorem "hd xs = hd xs".
  2351 
  2352     After finding a potentially spurious counterexample, Quickcheck
  2353     continues searching for genuine ones.
  2354 
  2355     By default, Quickcheck shows potentially spurious and genuine
  2356     counterexamples. The option "genuine_only" sets quickcheck to only
  2357     show genuine counterexamples.
  2358 
  2359   - The command 'quickcheck_generator' creates random and exhaustive
  2360     value generators for a given type and operations.
  2361 
  2362     It generates values by using the operations as if they were
  2363     constructors of that type.
  2364 
  2365   - Support for multisets.
  2366 
  2367   - Added "use_subtype" options.
  2368 
  2369   - Added "quickcheck_locale" configuration to specify how to process
  2370     conjectures in a locale context.
  2371 
  2372 * Nitpick: Fixed infinite loop caused by the 'peephole_optim' option
  2373 and affecting 'rat' and 'real'.
  2374 
  2375 * Sledgehammer:
  2376   - Integrated more tightly with SPASS, as described in the ITP 2012
  2377     paper "More SPASS with Isabelle".
  2378   - Made it try "smt" as a fallback if "metis" fails or times out.
  2379   - Added support for the following provers: Alt-Ergo (via Why3 and
  2380     TFF1), iProver, iProver-Eq.
  2381   - Sped up the minimizer.
  2382   - Added "lam_trans", "uncurry_aliases", and "minimize" options.
  2383   - Renamed "slicing" ("no_slicing") option to "slice" ("dont_slice").
  2384   - Renamed "sound" option to "strict".
  2385 
  2386 * Metis: Added possibility to specify lambda translations scheme as a
  2387 parenthesized argument (e.g., "by (metis (lifting) ...)").
  2388 
  2389 * SMT: Renamed "smt_fixed" option to "smt_read_only_certificates".
  2390 
  2391 * Command 'try0': Renamed from 'try_methods'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2392 
  2393 * New "case_product" attribute to generate a case rule doing multiple
  2394 case distinctions at the same time.  E.g.
  2395 
  2396   list.exhaust [case_product nat.exhaust]
  2397 
  2398 produces a rule which can be used to perform case distinction on both
  2399 a list and a nat.
  2400 
  2401 * New "eventually_elim" method as a generalized variant of the
  2402 eventually_elim* rules.  Supports structured proofs.
  2403 
  2404 * Typedef with implicit set definition is considered legacy.  Use
  2405 "typedef (open)" form instead, which will eventually become the
  2406 default.
  2407 
  2408 * Record: code generation can be switched off manually with
  2409 
  2410   declare [[record_coden = false]]  -- "default true"
  2411 
  2412 * Datatype: type parameters allow explicit sort constraints.
  2413 
  2414 * Concrete syntax for case expressions includes constraints for source
  2415 positions, and thus produces Prover IDE markup for its bindings.
  2416 INCOMPATIBILITY for old-style syntax translations that augment the
  2417 pattern notation; e.g. see src/HOL/HOLCF/One.thy for translations of
  2418 one_case.
  2419 
  2420 * Clarified attribute "mono_set": pure declaration without modifying
  2421 the result of the fact expression.
  2422 
  2423 * More default pred/set conversions on a couple of relation operations
  2424 and predicates.  Added powers of predicate relations.  Consolidation
  2425 of some relation theorems:
  2426 
  2427   converse_def ~> converse_unfold
  2428   rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
  2429   symp_def ~> (modified, use symp_def and sym_def instead)
  2430   transp_def ~> transp_trans
  2431   Domain_def ~> Domain_unfold
  2432   Range_def ~> Domain_converse [symmetric]
  2433 
  2434 Generalized theorems INF_INT_eq, INF_INT_eq2, SUP_UN_eq, SUP_UN_eq2.
  2435 
  2436 See theory "Relation" for examples for making use of pred/set
  2437 conversions by means of attributes "to_set" and "to_pred".
  2438 
  2439 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2440 
  2441 * Renamed facts about the power operation on relations, i.e., relpow
  2442 to match the constant's name:
  2443 
  2444   rel_pow_1 ~> relpow_1
  2445   rel_pow_0_I ~> relpow_0_I
  2446   rel_pow_Suc_I ~> relpow_Suc_I
  2447   rel_pow_Suc_I2 ~> relpow_Suc_I2
  2448   rel_pow_0_E ~> relpow_0_E
  2449   rel_pow_Suc_E ~> relpow_Suc_E
  2450   rel_pow_E ~> relpow_E
  2451   rel_pow_Suc_D2 ~> relpow_Suc_D2
  2452   rel_pow_Suc_E2 ~> relpow_Suc_E2
  2453   rel_pow_Suc_D2' ~> relpow_Suc_D2'
  2454   rel_pow_E2 ~> relpow_E2
  2455   rel_pow_add ~> relpow_add
  2456   rel_pow_commute ~> relpow
  2457   rel_pow_empty ~> relpow_empty:
  2458   rtrancl_imp_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_imp_UN_relpow
  2459   rel_pow_imp_rtrancl ~> relpow_imp_rtrancl
  2460   rtrancl_is_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_is_UN_relpow
  2461   rtrancl_imp_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_imp_relpow
  2462   rel_pow_fun_conv ~> relpow_fun_conv
  2463   rel_pow_finite_bounded1 ~> relpow_finite_bounded1
  2464   rel_pow_finite_bounded ~> relpow_finite_bounded
  2465   rtrancl_finite_eq_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_finite_eq_relpow
  2466   trancl_finite_eq_rel_pow ~> trancl_finite_eq_relpow
  2467   single_valued_rel_pow ~> single_valued_relpow
  2468 
  2469 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2470 
  2471 * Theory Relation: Consolidated constant name for relation composition
  2472 and corresponding theorem names:
  2473 
  2474   - Renamed constant rel_comp to relcomp.
  2475 
  2476   - Dropped abbreviation pred_comp. Use relcompp instead.
  2477 
  2478   - Renamed theorems:
  2479 
  2480     rel_compI ~> relcompI
  2481     rel_compEpair ~> relcompEpair
  2482     rel_compE ~> relcompE
  2483     pred_comp_rel_comp_eq ~> relcompp_relcomp_eq
  2484     rel_comp_empty1 ~> relcomp_empty1
  2485     rel_comp_mono ~> relcomp_mono
  2486     rel_comp_subset_Sigma ~> relcomp_subset_Sigma
  2487     rel_comp_distrib ~> relcomp_distrib
  2488     rel_comp_distrib2 ~> relcomp_distrib2
  2489     rel_comp_UNION_distrib ~> relcomp_UNION_distrib
  2490     rel_comp_UNION_distrib2 ~> relcomp_UNION_distrib2
  2491     single_valued_rel_comp ~> single_valued_relcomp
  2492     rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
  2493     converse_rel_comp ~> converse_relcomp
  2494     pred_compI ~> relcomppI
  2495     pred_compE ~> relcomppE
  2496     pred_comp_bot1 ~> relcompp_bot1
  2497     pred_comp_bot2 ~> relcompp_bot2
  2498     transp_pred_comp_less_eq ~> transp_relcompp_less_eq
  2499     pred_comp_mono ~> relcompp_mono
  2500     pred_comp_distrib ~> relcompp_distrib
  2501     pred_comp_distrib2 ~> relcompp_distrib2
  2502     converse_pred_comp ~> converse_relcompp
  2503 
  2504     finite_rel_comp ~> finite_relcomp
  2505 
  2506     set_rel_comp ~> set_relcomp
  2507 
  2508 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2509 
  2510 * Theory Divides: Discontinued redundant theorems about div and mod.
  2511 INCOMPATIBILITY, use the corresponding generic theorems instead.
  2512 
  2513   DIVISION_BY_ZERO ~> div_by_0, mod_by_0
  2514   zdiv_self ~> div_self

  2819 * New theory HOL/Library/DAList provides an abstract type for

  2821 
  2822 * Session HOL/IMP: Added new theory of abstract interpretation of

  2824 
  2825 * Session HOL-Import: Re-implementation from scratch is faster,
  2826 simpler, and more scalable.  Requires a proof bundle, which is

  2828 dead) Importer for HOL4 and HOL Light.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2876 * Session HOL-Word: New proof method "word_bitwise" for splitting
  2877 machine word equalities and inequalities into logical circuits,
  2878 defined in HOL/Word/WordBitwise.thy.  Supports addition, subtraction,
  2879 multiplication, shifting by constants, bitwise operators and numeric
  2880 constants.  Requires fixed-length word types, not 'a word.  Solves
  2881 many standard word identities outright and converts more into first
  2882 order problems amenable to blast or similar.  See also examples in
  2883 HOL/Word/Examples/WordExamples.thy.
  2884 
  2885 * Session HOL-Probability: Introduced the type "'a measure" to
  2886 represent measures, this replaces the records 'a algebra and 'a
  2887 measure_space.  The locales based on subset_class now have two
  2888 locale-parameters the space \<Omega> and the set of measurable sets M.
  2889 The product of probability spaces uses now the same constant as the
  2890 finite product of sigma-finite measure spaces "PiM :: ('i => 'a)
  2891 measure".  Most constants are defined now outside of locales and gain
  2892 an additional parameter, like null_sets, almost_eventually or \<mu>'.
  2893 Measure space constructions for distributions and densities now got
  2894 their own constants distr and density.  Instead of using locales to
  2895 describe measure spaces with a finite space, the measure count_space
  2896 and point_measure is introduced.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3058 * Session HOL-TPTP: support to parse and import TPTP problems (all
  3059 languages) into Isabelle/HOL.
  3060 
  3061 
  3062 *** FOL ***
  3063 
  3064 * New "case_product" attribute (see HOL).
  3065 
  3066 
  3067 *** ZF ***
  3068 
  3069 * Greater support for structured proofs involving induction or case
  3070 analysis.
  3071 
  3072 * Much greater use of mathematical symbols.
  3073 
  3074 * Removal of many ML theorem bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3075 
  3076 
  3077 *** ML ***
  3078 
  3079 * Antiquotation @{keyword "name"} produces a parser for outer syntax
  3080 from a minor keyword introduced via theory header declaration.
  3081 
  3082 * Antiquotation @{command_spec "name"} produces the
  3083 Outer_Syntax.command_spec from a major keyword introduced via theory
  3084 header declaration; it can be passed to Outer_Syntax.command etc.
  3085 
  3086 * Local_Theory.define no longer hard-wires default theorem name
  3087 "foo_def", but retains the binding as given.  If that is Binding.empty
  3088 / Attrib.empty_binding, the result is not registered as user-level
  3089 fact.  The Local_Theory.define_internal variant allows to specify a
  3090 non-empty name (used for the foundation in the background theory),
  3091 while omitting the fact binding in the user-context.  Potential
  3092 INCOMPATIBILITY for derived definitional packages: need to specify
  3093 naming policy for primitive definitions more explicitly.
  3094 
  3095 * Renamed Thm.capply to Thm.apply, and Thm.cabs to Thm.lambda in
  3096 conformance with similar operations in structure Term and Logic.
  3097 
  3098 * Antiquotation @{attributes [...]} embeds attribute source
  3099 representation into the ML text, which is particularly useful with
  3100 declarations like Local_Theory.note.
  3101 
  3102 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  3103 ProofContext has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3104 
  3105 * Refined Local_Theory.declaration {syntax, pervasive}, with subtle
  3106 change of semantics: update is applied to auxiliary local theory
  3107 context as well.
  3108 
  3109 * Modernized some old-style infix operations:
  3110 
  3111   addeqcongs    ~> Simplifier.add_eqcong
  3112   deleqcongs    ~> Simplifier.del_eqcong
  3113   addcongs      ~> Simplifier.add_cong
  3114   delcongs      ~> Simplifier.del_cong
  3115   setmksimps    ~> Simplifier.set_mksimps
  3116   setmkcong     ~> Simplifier.set_mkcong
  3117   setmksym      ~> Simplifier.set_mksym
  3118   setmkeqTrue   ~> Simplifier.set_mkeqTrue
  3119   settermless   ~> Simplifier.set_termless
  3120   setsubgoaler  ~> Simplifier.set_subgoaler
  3121   addsplits     ~> Splitter.add_split
  3122   delsplits     ~> Splitter.del_split
  3123 
  3124 
  3125 *** System ***
  3126 
  3127 * USER_HOME settings variable points to cross-platform user home
  3128 directory, which coincides with HOME on POSIX systems only.  Likewise,
  3129 the Isabelle path specification "~" now expands to $USER_HOME, instead
  3130 of former $HOME.  A different default for USER_HOME may be set
  3131 explicitly in shell environment, before Isabelle settings are
  3132 evaluated.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: need to adapt Isabelle path where
  3133 the generic user home was intended.
  3134 
  3135 * ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS refers to ISABELLE_HOME in windows file name
  3136 notation, which is useful for the jEdit file browser, for example.
  3137 
  3138 * ISABELLE_JDK_HOME settings variable points to JDK with javac and jar
  3139 (not just JRE).
  3140 
  3141 
  3142 
  3143 New in Isabelle2011-1 (October 2011)
  3144 ------------------------------------
  3145 
  3146 *** General ***
  3147 
  3148 * Improved Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE (PIDE), which can be invoked as
  3149 "isabelle jedit" or "ISABELLE_HOME/Isabelle" on the command line.
  3150 
  3151   - Management of multiple theory files directly from the editor
  3152     buffer store -- bypassing the file-system (no requirement to save
  3153     files for checking).
  3154 
  3155   - Markup of formal entities within the text buffer, with semantic
  3156     highlighting, tooltips and hyperlinks to jump to defining source
  3157     positions.
  3158 
  3159   - Improved text rendering, with sub/superscripts in the source
  3160     buffer (including support for copy/paste wrt. output panel, HTML
  3161     theory output and other non-Isabelle text boxes).
  3162 
  3163   - Refined scheduling of proof checking and printing of results,
  3164     based on interactive editor view.  (Note: jEdit folding and
  3165     narrowing allows to restrict buffer perspectives explicitly.)
  3166 
  3167   - Reduced CPU performance requirements, usable on machines with few
  3168     cores.
  3169 
  3170   - Reduced memory requirements due to pruning of unused document
  3171     versions (garbage collection).
  3172 
  3173 See also ~~/src/Tools/jEdit/README.html for further information,
  3174 including some remaining limitations.
  3175 
  3176 * Theory loader: source files are exclusively located via the master
  3177 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  3178 The global load path (such as src/HOL/Library) has been discontinued.
  3179 Note that the path element ~~ may be used to reference theories in the
  3180 Isabelle home folder -- for instance, "~~/src/HOL/Library/FuncSet".
  3181 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3182 
  3183 * Theory loader: source files are identified by content via SHA1
  3184 digests.  Discontinued former path/modtime identification and optional
  3185 ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT plugin scripts.
  3186 
  3187 * Parallelization of nested Isar proofs is subject to
  3188 Goal.parallel_proofs_threshold (default 100).  See also isabelle
  3189 usedir option -Q.
  3190 
  3191 * Name space: former unsynchronized references are now proper
  3192 configuration options, with more conventional names:
  3193 
  3194   long_names   ~> names_long
  3195   short_names  ~> names_short
  3196   unique_names ~> names_unique
  3197 
  3198 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, need to declare options in context like this:
  3199 
  3200   declare [[names_unique = false]]
  3201 
  3202 * Literal facts `prop` may contain dummy patterns, e.g. `_ = _`.  Note
  3203 that the result needs to be unique, which means fact specifications
  3204 may have to be refined after enriching a proof context.
  3205 
  3206 * Attribute "case_names" has been refined: the assumptions in each case
  3207 can be named now by following the case name with [name1 name2 ...].
  3208 
  3209 * Isabelle/Isar reference manual has been updated and extended:
  3210   - "Synopsis" provides a catalog of main Isar language concepts.
  3211   - Formal references in syntax diagrams, via @{rail} antiquotation.
  3212   - Updated material from classic "ref" manual, notably about
  3213     "Classical Reasoner".
  3214 
  3215 
  3216 *** HOL ***
  3217 
  3218 * Class bot and top require underlying partial order rather than
  3219 preorder: uniqueness of bot and top is guaranteed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3220 
  3221 * Class complete_lattice: generalized a couple of lemmas from sets;
  3222 generalized theorems INF_cong and SUP_cong.  New type classes for
  3223 complete boolean algebras and complete linear orders.  Lemmas
  3224 Inf_less_iff, less_Sup_iff, INF_less_iff, less_SUP_iff now reside in
  3225 class complete_linorder.
  3226 
  3227 Changed proposition of lemmas Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, Inf_fun_def,
  3228 Sup_fun_def, Inf_apply, Sup_apply.
  3229 
  3230 Removed redundant lemmas (the right hand side gives hints how to
  3231 replace them for (metis ...), or (simp only: ...) proofs):
  3232 
  3233   Inf_singleton ~> Inf_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Inf_empty inf_top_right]
  3234   Sup_singleton ~> Sup_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Sup_empty sup_bot_right]
  3235   Inf_binary ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  3236   Sup_binary ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  3237   Int_eq_Inter ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  3238   Un_eq_Union ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  3239   Inter_def ~> INF_def, image_def
  3240   Union_def ~> SUP_def, image_def
  3241   INT_eq ~> INF_def, and image_def
  3242   UN_eq ~> SUP_def, and image_def
  3243   INF_subset ~> INF_superset_mono [OF _ order_refl]
  3244 
  3245 More consistent and comprehensive names:
  3246 
  3247   INTER_eq_Inter_image ~> INF_def
  3248   UNION_eq_Union_image ~> SUP_def
  3249   INFI_def ~> INF_def

  3257   INFI_bool_eq ~> INF_bool_eq
  3258   SUPR_bool_eq ~> SUP_bool_eq
  3259   INFI_apply ~> INF_apply
  3260   SUPR_apply ~> SUP_apply
  3261   INTER_def ~> INTER_eq
  3262   UNION_def ~> UNION_eq
  3263 
  3264 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3265 
  3266 * Renamed theory Complete_Lattice to Complete_Lattices.
  3267 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3268 
  3269 * Theory Complete_Lattices: lemmas Inf_eq_top_iff, INF_eq_top_iff,
  3270 INF_image, Inf_insert, INF_top, Inf_top_conv, INF_top_conv, SUP_bot,
  3271 Sup_bot_conv, SUP_bot_conv, Sup_eq_top_iff, SUP_eq_top_iff, SUP_image,
  3272 Sup_insert are now declared as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3273 
  3274 * Theory Lattice: lemmas compl_inf_bot, compl_le_comp_iff,
  3275 compl_sup_top, inf_idem, inf_left_idem, inf_sup_absorb, sup_idem,
  3276 sup_inf_absob, sup_left_idem are now declared as [simp].  Minor
  3277 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3278 
  3279 * Added syntactic classes "inf" and "sup" for the respective
  3280 constants.  INCOMPATIBILITY: Changes in the argument order of the
  3281 (mostly internal) locale predicates for some derived classes.
  3282 
  3283 * Theorem collections ball_simps and bex_simps do not contain theorems
  3284 referring to UNION any longer; these have been moved to collection
  3285 UN_ball_bex_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3286 
  3287 * Theory Archimedean_Field: floor now is defined as parameter of a
  3288 separate type class floor_ceiling.
  3289 
  3290 * Theory Finite_Set: more coherent development of fold_set locales:
  3291 
  3292     locale fun_left_comm ~> locale comp_fun_commute
  3293     locale fun_left_comm_idem ~> locale comp_fun_idem
  3294 
  3295 Both use point-free characterization; interpretation proofs may need
  3296 adjustment.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3297 
  3298 * Theory Limits: Type "'a net" has been renamed to "'a filter", in
  3299 accordance with standard mathematical terminology. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3300 
  3301 * Theory Complex_Main: The locale interpretations for the
  3302 bounded_linear and bounded_bilinear locales have been removed, in
  3303 order to reduce the number of duplicate lemmas. Users must use the
  3304 original names for distributivity theorems, potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3400 * Theory Complex_Main: The definition of infinite series was
  3401 generalized.  Now it is defined on the type class {topological_space,
  3402 comm_monoid_add}.  Hence it is useable also for extended real numbers.
  3403 
  3404 * Theory Complex_Main: The complex exponential function "expi" is now
  3405 a type-constrained abbreviation for "exp :: complex => complex"; thus
  3406 several polymorphic lemmas about "exp" are now applicable to "expi".
  3407 
  3408 * Code generation:
  3409 
  3410   - Theory Library/Code_Char_ord provides native ordering of
  3411     characters in the target language.
  3412 
  3413   - Commands code_module and code_library are legacy, use export_code
  3414     instead.
  3415 
  3416   - Method "evaluation" is legacy, use method "eval" instead.
  3417 
  3418   - Legacy evaluator "SML" is deactivated by default.  May be
  3419     reactivated by the following theory command:
  3420 
  3421       setup {* Value.add_evaluator ("SML", Codegen.eval_term) *}
  3422 
  3423 * Declare ext [intro] by default.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3424 
  3425 * New proof method "induction" that gives induction hypotheses the
  3426 name "IH", thus distinguishing them from further hypotheses that come
  3427 from rule induction.  The latter are still called "hyps".  Method
  3428 "induction" is a thin wrapper around "induct" and follows the same
  3429 syntax.
  3430 
  3431 * Method "fastsimp" has been renamed to "fastforce", but "fastsimp" is
  3432 still available as a legacy feature for some time.
  3433 
  3434 * Nitpick:
  3435   - Added "need" and "total_consts" options.
  3436   - Reintroduced "show_skolems" option by popular demand.
  3437   - Renamed attribute: nitpick_def ~> nitpick_unfold.
  3438     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3439 
  3440 * Sledgehammer:
  3441   - Use quasi-sound (and efficient) translations by default.
  3442   - Added support for the following provers: E-ToFoF, LEO-II,
  3443     Satallax, SNARK, Waldmeister, and Z3 with TPTP syntax.
  3444   - Automatically preplay and minimize proofs before showing them if
  3445     this can be done within reasonable time.
  3446   - sledgehammer available_provers ~> sledgehammer supported_provers.
  3447     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3448   - Added "preplay_timeout", "slicing", "type_enc", "sound",
  3449     "max_mono_iters", and "max_new_mono_instances" options.
  3450   - Removed "explicit_apply" and "full_types" options as well as "Full
  3451     Types" Proof General menu item. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3452 
  3453 * Metis:
  3454   - Removed "metisF" -- use "metis" instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3455   - Obsoleted "metisFT" -- use "metis (full_types)" instead.
  3456     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3457 
  3458 * Command 'try':
  3459   - Renamed 'try_methods' and added "simp:", "intro:", "dest:", and
  3460     "elim:" options. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3461   - Introduced 'try' that not only runs 'try_methods' but also
  3462     'solve_direct', 'sledgehammer', 'quickcheck', and 'nitpick'.
  3463 
  3464 * Quickcheck:
  3465   - Added "eval" option to evaluate terms for the found counterexample
  3466     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  3467   - Added post-processing of terms to obtain readable counterexamples
  3468     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  3469   - New counterexample generator quickcheck[narrowing] enables
  3470     narrowing-based testing.  Requires the Glasgow Haskell compiler
  3471     with its installation location defined in the Isabelle settings
  3472     environment as ISABELLE_GHC.
  3473   - Removed quickcheck tester "SML" based on the SML code generator
  3474     (formly in HOL/Library).
  3475 
  3476 * Function package: discontinued option "tailrec".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  3477 use 'partial_function' instead.
  3478 
  3479 * Theory Library/Extended_Reals replaces now the positive extended
  3480 reals found in probability theory. This file is extended by
  3481 Multivariate_Analysis/Extended_Real_Limits.
  3482 
  3483 * Theory Library/Old_Recdef: old 'recdef' package has been moved here,
  3484 from where it must be imported explicitly if it is really required.
  3485 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3486 
  3487 * Theory Library/Wfrec: well-founded recursion combinator "wfrec" has
  3488 been moved here.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3489 
  3490 * Theory Library/Saturated provides type of numbers with saturated
  3491 arithmetic.
  3492 
  3493 * Theory Library/Product_Lattice defines a pointwise ordering for the
  3494 product type 'a * 'b, and provides instance proofs for various order
  3495 and lattice type classes.
  3496 
  3497 * Theory Library/Countable now provides the "countable_datatype" proof
  3498 method for proving "countable" class instances for datatypes.
  3499 
  3500 * Theory Library/Cset_Monad allows do notation for computable sets
  3501 (cset) via the generic monad ad-hoc overloading facility.
  3502 
  3503 * Library: Theories of common data structures are split into theories
  3504 for implementation, an invariant-ensuring type, and connection to an
  3505 abstract type. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3506 
  3507   - RBT is split into RBT and RBT_Mapping.
  3508   - AssocList is split and renamed into AList and AList_Mapping.
  3509   - DList is split into DList_Impl, DList, and DList_Cset.
  3510   - Cset is split into Cset and List_Cset.
  3511 
  3512 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity has been renamed to
  3513 Library/Extended_Nat, with name changes of the following types and
  3514 constants:
  3515 
  3516   type inat   ~> type enat
  3517   Fin         ~> enat
  3518   Infty       ~> infinity (overloaded)
  3519   iSuc        ~> eSuc
  3520   the_Fin     ~> the_enat
  3521 
  3522 Every theorem name containing "inat", "Fin", "Infty", or "iSuc" has
  3523 been renamed accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3524 
  3525 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: The euclidean_space type class now
  3526 fixes a constant "Basis :: 'a set" consisting of the standard
  3527 orthonormal basis for the type. Users now have the option of
  3528 quantifying over this set instead of using the "basis" function, e.g.
  3529 "ALL x:Basis. P x" vs "ALL i<DIM('a). P (basis i)".
  3530 
  3531 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Type "('a, 'b) cart" has been renamed
  3532 to "('a, 'b) vec" (the syntax "'a ^ 'b" remains unaffected). Constants
  3533 "Cart_nth" and "Cart_lambda" have been respectively renamed to
  3534 "vec_nth" and "vec_lambda"; theorems mentioning those names have
  3535 changed to match. Definition theorems for overloaded constants now use
  3536 the standard "foo_vec_def" naming scheme. A few other theorems have
  3537 been renamed as follows (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  3538 
  3539   Cart_eq          ~> vec_eq_iff
  3540   dist_nth_le_cart ~> dist_vec_nth_le
  3541   tendsto_vector   ~> vec_tendstoI
  3542   Cauchy_vector    ~> vec_CauchyI
  3543 
  3544 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Several duplicate theorems have been
  3545 removed, and other theorems have been renamed or replaced with more
  3546 general versions. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3600 * Session HOL-Probability:
  3601   - Caratheodory's extension lemma is now proved for ring_of_sets.
  3602   - Infinite products of probability measures are now available.
  3603   - Sigma closure is independent, if the generator is independent
  3604   - Use extended reals instead of positive extended
  3605     reals. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3638 * Antiquotation @{rail} layouts railroad syntax diagrams, see also
  3639 isar-ref manual, both for description and actual application of the
  3640 same.
  3641 
  3642 * Antiquotation @{value} evaluates the given term and presents its
  3643 result.
  3644 
  3645 * Antiquotations: term style "isub" provides ad-hoc conversion of
  3646 variables x1, y23 into subscripted form x\<^isub>1,
  3647 y\<^isub>2\<^isub>3.
  3648 
  3649 * Predefined LaTeX macros for Isabelle symbols \<bind> and \<then>
  3650 (e.g. see ~~/src/HOL/Library/Monad_Syntax.thy).
  3651 
  3652 * Localized \isabellestyle switch can be used within blocks or groups
  3653 like this:
  3654 
  3655   \isabellestyle{it}  %preferred default
  3656   {\isabellestylett @{text "typewriter stuff"}}
  3657 
  3658 * Discontinued special treatment of hard tabulators.  Implicit
  3659 tab-width is now defined as 1.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for visual
  3660 layouts.
  3661 
  3662 
  3663 *** ML ***
  3664 
  3665 * The inner syntax of sort/type/term/prop supports inlined YXML
  3666 representations within quoted string tokens.  By encoding logical
  3667 entities via Term_XML (in ML or Scala) concrete syntax can be
  3668 bypassed, which is particularly useful for producing bits of text
  3669 under external program control.
  3670 
  3671 * Antiquotations for ML and document preparation are managed as theory
  3672 data, which requires explicit setup.
  3673 
  3674 * Isabelle_Process.is_active allows tools to check if the official
  3675 process wrapper is running (Isabelle/Scala/jEdit) or the old TTY loop
  3676 (better known as Proof General).
  3677 
  3678 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  3679 ProofContext is still available for some time as legacy alias.
  3680 
  3681 * Structure Timing provides various operations for timing; supersedes
  3682 former start_timing/end_timing etc.
  3683 
  3684 * Path.print is the official way to show file-system paths to users
  3685 (including quotes etc.).
  3686 
  3687 * Inner syntax: identifiers in parse trees of generic categories
  3688 "logic", "aprop", "idt" etc. carry position information (disguised as
  3689 type constraints).  Occasional INCOMPATIBILITY with non-compliant
  3690 translations that choke on unexpected type constraints.  Positions can
  3691 be stripped in ML translations via Syntax.strip_positions /
  3692 Syntax.strip_positions_ast, or via the syntax constant
  3693 "_strip_positions" within parse trees.  As last resort, positions can
  3694 be disabled via the configuration option Syntax.positions, which is
  3695 called "syntax_positions" in Isar attribute syntax.
  3696 
  3697 * Discontinued special status of various ML structures that contribute
  3698 to structure Syntax (Ast, Lexicon, Mixfix, Parser, Printer etc.): less
  3699 pervasive content, no inclusion in structure Syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  3700 refer directly to Ast.Constant, Lexicon.is_identifier,
  3701 Syntax_Trans.mk_binder_tr etc.
  3702 
  3703 * Typed print translation: discontinued show_sorts argument, which is
  3704 already available via context of "advanced" translation.
  3705 
  3706 * Refined PARALLEL_GOALS tactical: degrades gracefully for schematic
  3707 goal states; body tactic needs to address all subgoals uniformly.
  3708 
  3709 * Slightly more special eq_list/eq_set, with shortcut involving
  3710 pointer equality (assumes that eq relation is reflexive).
  3711 
  3712 * Classical tactics use proper Proof.context instead of historic types
  3713 claset/clasimpset.  Old-style declarations like addIs, addEs, addDs
  3714 operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type claset retains its use as
  3715 snapshot of the classical context, which can be recovered via
  3716 (put_claset HOL_cs) etc.  Type clasimpset has been discontinued.
  3717 INCOMPATIBILITY, classical tactics and derived proof methods require
  3718 proper Proof.context.
  3719 
  3720 
  3721 *** System ***
  3722 
  3723 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2, which was the last version
  3724 without proper multithreading and TimeLimit implementation.
  3725 
  3726 * Discontinued old lib/scripts/polyml-platform, which has been
  3727 obsolete since Isabelle2009-2.
  3728 
  3729 * Various optional external tools are referenced more robustly and
  3730 uniformly by explicit Isabelle settings as follows:
  3731 
  3732   ISABELLE_CSDP   (formerly CSDP_EXE)
  3733   ISABELLE_GHC    (formerly EXEC_GHC or GHC_PATH)
  3734   ISABELLE_OCAML  (formerly EXEC_OCAML)
  3735   ISABELLE_SWIPL  (formerly EXEC_SWIPL)
  3736   ISABELLE_YAP    (formerly EXEC_YAP)
  3737 
  3738 Note that automated detection from the file-system or search path has
  3739 been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3740 
  3741 * Scala layer provides JVM method invocation service for static
  3742 methods of type (String)String, see Invoke_Scala.method in ML.  For
  3743 example:
  3744 
  3745   Invoke_Scala.method "java.lang.System.getProperty" "java.home"
  3746 
  3747 Together with YXML.string_of_body/parse_body and XML.Encode/Decode
  3748 this allows to pass structured values between ML and Scala.
  3749 
  3750 * The IsabelleText fonts includes some further glyphs to support the
  3751 Prover IDE.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: users who happen to have
  3752 installed a local copy (which is normally *not* required) need to
  3753 delete or update it from ~~/lib/fonts/.
  3754 
  3755 
  3756 
  3757 New in Isabelle2011 (January 2011)
  3758 ----------------------------------
  3759 
  3760 *** General ***
  3761 
  3762 * Experimental Prover IDE based on Isabelle/Scala and jEdit (see
  3763 src/Tools/jEdit).  This also serves as IDE for Isabelle/ML, with
  3764 useful tooltips and hyperlinks produced from its static analysis.  The
  3765 bundled component provides an executable Isabelle tool that can be run
  3766 like this:
  3767 
  3768   Isabelle2011/bin/isabelle jedit
  3769 
  3770 * Significantly improved Isabelle/Isar implementation manual.
  3771 
  3772 * System settings: ISABELLE_HOME_USER now includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER
  3773 (and thus refers to something like $HOME/.isabelle/Isabelle2011),
  3774 while the default heap location within that directory lacks that extra
  3775 suffix.  This isolates multiple Isabelle installations from each
  3776 other, avoiding problems with old settings in new versions.
  3777 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to copy/upgrade old user settings manually.
  3778 
  3779 * Source files are always encoded as UTF-8, instead of old-fashioned
  3780 ISO-Latin-1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Isabelle LaTeX documents might require
  3781 the following package declarations:
  3782 
  3783   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
  3784   \usepackage{textcomp}
  3785 
  3786 * Explicit treatment of UTF-8 sequences as Isabelle symbols, such that
  3787 a Unicode character is treated as a single symbol, not a sequence of
  3788 non-ASCII bytes as before.  Since Isabelle/ML string literals may
  3789 contain symbols without further backslash escapes, Unicode can now be
  3790 used here as well.  Recall that Symbol.explode in ML provides a
  3791 consistent view on symbols, while raw explode (or String.explode)
  3792 merely give a byte-oriented representation.
  3793 
  3794 * Theory loader: source files are primarily located via the master
  3795 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  3796 The global load path is still partially available as legacy feature.
  3797 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY due to subtle change in file lookup: use
  3798 explicit paths, relatively to the theory.
  3799 
  3800 * Special treatment of ML file names has been discontinued.
  3801 Historically, optional extensions .ML or .sml were added on demand --
  3802 at the cost of clarity of file dependencies.  Recall that Isabelle/ML
  3803 files exclusively use the .ML extension.  Minor INCOMPATIBILTY.
  3804 
  3805 * Various options that affect pretty printing etc. are now properly
  3806 handled within the context via configuration options, instead of
  3807 unsynchronized references or print modes.  There are both ML Config.T
  3808 entities and Isar declaration attributes to access these.
  3809 
  3810   ML (Config.T)                 Isar (attribute)
  3811 
  3812   eta_contract                  eta_contract

  3822   Syntax.ambiguity_level        syntax_ambiguity_level
  3823 
  3824   Goal_Display.goals_limit      goals_limit
  3825   Goal_Display.show_main_goal   show_main_goal
  3826 
  3827   Method.rule_trace             rule_trace
  3828 
  3829   Thy_Output.display            thy_output_display

  3831   Thy_Output.indent             thy_output_indent
  3832   Thy_Output.source             thy_output_source
  3833   Thy_Output.break              thy_output_break
  3834 
  3835 Note that corresponding "..._default" references in ML may only be
  3836 changed globally at the ROOT session setup, but *not* within a theory.
  3837 The option "show_abbrevs" supersedes the former print mode
  3838 "no_abbrevs" with inverted meaning.
  3839 
  3840 * More systematic naming of some configuration options.
  3841 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3842 
  3843   trace_simp  ~>  simp_trace
  3844   debug_simp  ~>  simp_debug
  3845 
  3846 * Support for real valued configuration options, using simplistic
  3847 floating-point notation that coincides with the inner syntax for
  3848 float_token.
  3849 
  3850 * Support for real valued preferences (with approximative PGIP type):
  3851 front-ends need to accept "pgint" values in float notation.
  3852 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3853 
  3854 * The IsabelleText font now includes Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic from
  3855 DejaVu Sans.
  3856 
  3857 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.0 and 5.1 versions.
  3858 
  3859 
  3860 *** Pure ***
  3861 
  3862 * Command 'type_synonym' (with single argument) replaces somewhat
  3863 outdated 'types', which is still available as legacy feature for some
  3864 time.
  3865 
  3866 * Command 'nonterminal' (with 'and' separated list of arguments)
  3867 replaces somewhat outdated 'nonterminals'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3868 
  3869 * Command 'notepad' replaces former 'example_proof' for
  3870 experimentation in Isar without any result.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3871 
  3872 * Locale interpretation commands 'interpret' and 'sublocale' accept
  3873 lists of equations to map definitions in a locale to appropriate
  3874 entities in the context of the interpretation.  The 'interpretation'
  3875 command already provided this functionality.
  3876 
  3877 * Diagnostic command 'print_dependencies' prints the locale instances
  3878 that would be activated if the specified expression was interpreted in
  3879 the current context.  Variant "print_dependencies!" assumes a context
  3880 without interpretations.
  3881 
  3882 * Diagnostic command 'print_interps' prints interpretations in proofs
  3883 in addition to interpretations in theories.
  3884 
  3885 * Discontinued obsolete 'global' and 'local' commands to manipulate
  3886 the theory name space.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.  The ML functions
  3887 Sign.root_path and Sign.local_path may be applied directly where this
  3888 feature is still required for historical reasons.
  3889 
  3890 * Discontinued obsolete 'constdefs' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  3891 'definition' instead.
  3892 
  3893 * The "prems" fact, which refers to the accidental collection of
  3894 foundational premises in the context, is now explicitly marked as
  3895 legacy feature and will be discontinued soon.  Consider using "assms"
  3896 of the head statement or reference facts by explicit names.
  3897 
  3898 * Document antiquotations @{class} and @{type} print classes and type
  3899 constructors.
  3900 
  3901 * Document antiquotation @{file} checks file/directory entries within
  3902 the local file system.
  3903 
  3904 
  3905 *** HOL ***
  3906 
  3907 * Coercive subtyping: functions can be declared as coercions and type
  3908 inference will add them as necessary upon input of a term.  Theory
  3909 Complex_Main declares real :: nat => real and real :: int => real as
  3910 coercions. A coercion function f is declared like this:
  3911 
  3912   declare [[coercion f]]
  3913 
  3914 To lift coercions through type constructors (e.g. from nat => real to
  3915 nat list => real list), map functions can be declared, e.g.
  3916 
  3917   declare [[coercion_map map]]
  3918 
  3919 Currently coercion inference is activated only in theories including
  3920 real numbers, i.e. descendants of Complex_Main.  This is controlled by
  3921 the configuration option "coercion_enabled", e.g. it can be enabled in
  3922 other theories like this:
  3923 
  3924   declare [[coercion_enabled]]
  3925 
  3926 * Command 'partial_function' provides basic support for recursive
  3927 function definitions over complete partial orders.  Concrete instances
  3928 are provided for i) the option type, ii) tail recursion on arbitrary
  3929 types, and iii) the heap monad of Imperative_HOL.  See
  3930 src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy and src/HOL/Imperative_HOL/ex/Linked_Lists.thy
  3931 for examples.
  3932 
  3933 * Function package: f.psimps rules are no longer implicitly declared
  3934 as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3935 
  3936 * Datatype package: theorems generated for executable equality (class
  3937 "eq") carry proper names and are treated as default code equations.
  3938 
  3939 * Inductive package: now offers command 'inductive_simps' to
  3940 automatically derive instantiated and simplified equations for
  3941 inductive predicates, similar to 'inductive_cases'.
  3942 
  3943 * Command 'enriched_type' allows to register properties of the
  3944 functorial structure of types.
  3945 
  3946 * Improved infrastructure for term evaluation using code generator
  3947 techniques, in particular static evaluation conversions.
  3948 
  3949 * Code generator: Scala (2.8 or higher) has been added to the target
  3950 languages.
  3951 
  3952 * Code generator: globbing constant expressions "*" and "Theory.*"
  3953 have been replaced by the more idiomatic "_" and "Theory._".
  3954 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3955 
  3956 * Code generator: export_code without explicit file declaration prints
  3957 to standard output.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3958 
  3959 * Code generator: do not print function definitions for case
  3960 combinators any longer.
  3961 
  3962 * Code generator: simplification with rules determined with
  3963 src/Tools/Code/code_simp.ML and method "code_simp".
  3964 
  3965 * Code generator for records: more idiomatic representation of record
  3966 types.  Warning: records are not covered by ancient SML code
  3967 generation any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  In cases of need, a suitable
  3968 rep_datatype declaration helps to succeed then:
  3969 
  3970   record 'a foo = ...
  3971   ...
  3972   rep_datatype foo_ext ...
  3973 
  3974 * Records: logical foundation type for records does not carry a
  3975 '_type' suffix any longer (obsolete due to authentic syntax).
  3976 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3977 
  3978 * Quickcheck now by default uses exhaustive testing instead of random
  3979 testing.  Random testing can be invoked by "quickcheck [random]",
  3980 exhaustive testing by "quickcheck [exhaustive]".
  3981 
  3982 * Quickcheck instantiates polymorphic types with small finite
  3983 datatypes by default. This enables a simple execution mechanism to
  3984 handle quantifiers and function equality over the finite datatypes.
  3985 
  3986 * Quickcheck random generator has been renamed from "code" to
  3987 "random".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3988 
  3989 * Quickcheck now has a configurable time limit which is set to 30
  3990 seconds by default. This can be changed by adding [timeout = n] to the
  3991 quickcheck command. The time limit for Auto Quickcheck is still set
  3992 independently.
  3993 
  3994 * Quickcheck in locales considers interpretations of that locale for
  3995 counter example search.
  3996 
  3997 * Sledgehammer:
  3998   - Added "smt" and "remote_smt" provers based on the "smt" proof
  3999     method. See the Sledgehammer manual for details ("isabelle doc
  4000     sledgehammer").
  4001   - Renamed commands:
  4002     sledgehammer atp_info ~> sledgehammer running_provers
  4003     sledgehammer atp_kill ~> sledgehammer kill_provers
  4004     sledgehammer available_atps ~> sledgehammer available_provers
  4005     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4006   - Renamed options:
  4007     sledgehammer [atps = ...] ~> sledgehammer [provers = ...]
  4008     sledgehammer [atp = ...] ~> sledgehammer [prover = ...]
  4009     sledgehammer [timeout = 77 s] ~> sledgehammer [timeout = 77]
  4010     (and "ms" and "min" are no longer supported)
  4011     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4012 
  4013 * Nitpick:
  4014   - Renamed options:
  4015     nitpick [timeout = 77 s] ~> nitpick [timeout = 77]
  4016     nitpick [tac_timeout = 777 ms] ~> nitpick [tac_timeout = 0.777]
  4017     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4018   - Added support for partial quotient types.
  4019   - Added local versions of the "Nitpick.register_xxx" functions.
  4020   - Added "whack" option.
  4021   - Allow registration of quotient types as codatatypes.
  4022   - Improved "merge_type_vars" option to merge more types.
  4023   - Removed unsound "fast_descrs" option.
  4024   - Added custom symmetry breaking for datatypes, making it possible to reach
  4025     higher cardinalities.
  4026   - Prevent the expansion of too large definitions.
  4027 
  4028 * Proof methods "metis" and "meson" now have configuration options
  4029 "meson_trace", "metis_trace", and "metis_verbose" that can be enabled
  4030 to diagnose these tools. E.g.
  4031 
  4032     using [[metis_trace = true]]
  4033 
  4034 * Auto Solve: Renamed "Auto Solve Direct".  The tool is now available
  4035 manually as command 'solve_direct'.
  4036 
  4037 * The default SMT solver Z3 must be enabled explicitly (due to
  4038 licensing issues) by setting the environment variable
  4039 Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL in etc/settings of the component, for example.  For
  4040 commercial applications, the SMT solver CVC3 is provided as fall-back;
  4041 changing the SMT solver is done via the configuration option
  4042 "smt_solver".
  4043 
  4044 * Remote SMT solvers need to be referred to by the "remote_" prefix,
  4045 i.e. "remote_cvc3" and "remote_z3".
  4046 
  4047 * Added basic SMT support for datatypes, records, and typedefs using
  4048 the oracle mode (no proofs).  Direct support of pairs has been dropped
  4049 in exchange (pass theorems fst_conv snd_conv pair_collapse to the SMT
  4050 support for a similar behavior).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4051 
  4052 * Changed SMT configuration options:
  4053   - Renamed:
  4054     z3_proofs ~> smt_oracle (with inverted meaning)
  4055     z3_trace_assms ~> smt_trace_used_facts
  4056     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4057   - Added:
  4058     smt_verbose
  4059     smt_random_seed
  4060     smt_datatypes
  4061     smt_infer_triggers
  4062     smt_monomorph_limit
  4063     cvc3_options
  4064     remote_cvc3_options
  4065     remote_z3_options
  4066     yices_options
  4067 
  4068 * Boogie output files (.b2i files) need to be declared in the theory
  4069 header.
  4070 
  4071 * Simplification procedure "list_to_set_comprehension" rewrites list
  4072 comprehensions applied to List.set to set comprehensions.  Occasional
  4073 INCOMPATIBILITY, may be deactivated like this:
  4074 
  4075   declare [[simproc del: list_to_set_comprehension]]
  4076 
  4077 * Removed old version of primrec package.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4078 
  4079 * Removed simplifier congruence rule of "prod_case", as has for long
  4080 been the case with "split".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4081 
  4082 * String.literal is a type, but not a datatype.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4083 
  4084 * Removed [split_format ... and ... and ...] version of
  4085 [split_format].  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4086 
  4087 * Predicate "sorted" now defined inductively, with nice induction
  4088 rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY: former sorted.simps now named sorted_simps.
  4089 
  4090 * Constant "contents" renamed to "the_elem", to free the generic name
  4091 contents for other uses.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4092 
  4093 * Renamed class eq and constant eq (for code generation) to class
  4094 equal and constant equal, plus renaming of related facts and various
  4095 tuning.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4096 
  4097 * Dropped type classes mult_mono and mult_mono1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4098 
  4099 * Removed output syntax "'a ~=> 'b" for "'a => 'b option".
  4100 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4101 
  4102 * Renamed theory Fset to Cset, type Fset.fset to Cset.set, in order to
  4103 avoid confusion with finite sets.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4104 
  4105 * Abandoned locales equiv, congruent and congruent2 for equivalence
  4106 relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use equivI rather than equiv_intro (same
  4107 for congruent(2)).
  4108 
  4109 * Some previously unqualified names have been qualified:
  4110 
  4111   types
  4112     bool ~> HOL.bool
  4113     nat ~> Nat.nat
  4114 
  4115   constants
  4116     Trueprop ~> HOL.Trueprop
  4117     True ~> HOL.True
  4118     False ~> HOL.False
  4119     op & ~> HOL.conj
  4120     op | ~> HOL.disj
  4121     op --> ~> HOL.implies
  4122     op = ~> HOL.eq
  4123     Not ~> HOL.Not
  4124     The ~> HOL.The
  4125     All ~> HOL.All
  4126     Ex ~> HOL.Ex
  4127     Ex1 ~> HOL.Ex1
  4128     Let ~> HOL.Let
  4129     If ~> HOL.If
  4130     Ball ~> Set.Ball

  4133     Pair ~> Product_Type.Pair
  4134     fst ~> Product_Type.fst
  4135     snd ~> Product_Type.snd
  4136     curry ~> Product_Type.curry
  4137     op : ~> Set.member
  4138     Collect ~> Set.Collect
  4139 
  4140 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4141 
  4142 * More canonical naming convention for some fundamental definitions:
  4143 
  4144     bot_bool_eq ~> bot_bool_def
  4145     top_bool_eq ~> top_bool_def
  4146     inf_bool_eq ~> inf_bool_def
  4147     sup_bool_eq ~> sup_bool_def
  4148     bot_fun_eq  ~> bot_fun_def
  4149     top_fun_eq  ~> top_fun_def
  4150     inf_fun_eq  ~> inf_fun_def
  4151     sup_fun_eq  ~> sup_fun_def
  4152 
  4153 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4154 
  4155 * More stylized fact names:
  4156 
  4157   expand_fun_eq ~> fun_eq_iff
  4158   expand_set_eq ~> set_eq_iff
  4159   set_ext       ~> set_eqI
  4160   nat_number    ~> eval_nat_numeral
  4161 
  4162 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4163 
  4164 * Refactoring of code-generation specific operations in theory List:
  4165 
  4166   constants
  4167     null ~> List.null
  4168 
  4169   facts
  4170     mem_iff ~> member_def
  4171     null_empty ~> null_def
  4172 
  4173 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that these were not supposed to be used
  4174 regularly unless for striking reasons; their main purpose was code
  4175 generation.
  4176 
  4177 Various operations from the Haskell prelude are used for generating
  4178 Haskell code.
  4179 
  4180 * Term "bij f" is now an abbreviation of "bij_betw f UNIV UNIV".  Term
  4181 "surj f" is now an abbreviation of "range f = UNIV".  The theorems
  4182 bij_def and surj_def are unchanged.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4183 
  4184 * Abolished some non-alphabetic type names: "prod" and "sum" replace
  4185 "*" and "+" respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4186 
  4187 * Name "Plus" of disjoint sum operator "<+>" is now hidden.  Write
  4188 "Sum_Type.Plus" instead.
  4189 
  4190 * Constant "split" has been merged with constant "prod_case"; names of
  4191 ML functions, facts etc. involving split have been retained so far,
  4192 though.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4193 
  4194 * Dropped old infix syntax "_ mem _" for List.member; use "_ : set _"
  4195 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4196 
  4197 * Removed lemma "Option.is_none_none" which duplicates "is_none_def".
  4198 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4199 
  4200 * Former theory Library/Enum is now part of the HOL-Main image.
  4201 INCOMPATIBILITY: all constants of the Enum theory now have to be
  4202 referred to by its qualified name.
  4203 
  4204   enum    ~>  Enum.enum
  4205   nlists  ~>  Enum.nlists
  4206   product ~>  Enum.product
  4207 
  4208 * Theory Library/Monad_Syntax provides do-syntax for monad types.
  4209 Syntax in Library/State_Monad has been changed to avoid ambiguities.
  4210 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4211 
  4212 * Theory Library/SetsAndFunctions has been split into
  4213 Library/Function_Algebras and Library/Set_Algebras; canonical names
  4214 for instance definitions for functions; various improvements.
  4215 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4216 
  4217 * Theory Library/Multiset provides stable quicksort implementation of
  4218 sort_key.
  4219 
  4220 * Theory Library/Multiset: renamed empty_idemp ~> empty_neutral.
  4221 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4222 
  4223 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: introduced a type class for euclidean
  4224 space.  Most theorems are now stated in terms of euclidean spaces
  4225 instead of finite cartesian products.
  4226 
  4227   types
  4228     real ^ 'n ~>  'a::real_vector
  4229               ~>  'a::euclidean_space
  4230               ~>  'a::ordered_euclidean_space
  4231         (depends on your needs)
  4232 
  4233   constants
  4234      _ $ _        ~> _ $$ _
  4235      \<chi> x. _  ~> \<chi>\<chi> x. _
  4236      CARD('n)     ~> DIM('a)
  4237 
  4238 Also note that the indices are now natural numbers and not from some
  4239 finite type. Finite cartesian products of euclidean spaces, products
  4240 of euclidean spaces the real and complex numbers are instantiated to
  4241 be euclidean_spaces.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4242 
  4243 * Session Probability: introduced pextreal as positive extended real
  4244 numbers.  Use pextreal as value for measures.  Introduce the
  4245 Radon-Nikodym derivative, product spaces and Fubini's theorem for
  4246 arbitrary sigma finite measures.  Introduces Lebesgue measure based on
  4247 the integral in Multivariate Analysis.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4248 
  4249 * Session Imperative_HOL: revamped, corrected dozens of inadequacies.
  4250 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4251 
  4252 * Session SPARK (with image HOL-SPARK) provides commands to load and
  4253 prove verification conditions generated by the SPARK Ada program
  4254 verifier.  See also src/HOL/SPARK and src/HOL/SPARK/Examples.
  4255 
  4256 
  4257 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  4258 
  4259 * Theorems for additive ring operations (locale abelian_monoid and
  4260 descendants) are generated by interpretation from their multiplicative
  4261 counterparts.  Names (in particular theorem names) have the mandatory
  4262 qualifier 'add'.  Previous theorem names are redeclared for
  4263 compatibility.
  4264 
  4265 * Structure "int_ring" is now an abbreviation (previously a
  4266 definition).  This fits more natural with advanced interpretations.
  4267 
  4268 
  4269 *** HOLCF ***
  4270 
  4271 * The domain package now runs in definitional mode by default: The
  4272 former command 'new_domain' is now called 'domain'.  To use the domain
  4273 package in its original axiomatic mode, use 'domain (unsafe)'.
  4274 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4275 
  4276 * The new class "domain" is now the default sort.  Class "predomain"
  4277 is an unpointed version of "domain". Theories can be updated by
  4278 replacing sort annotations as shown below.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4279 
  4280   'a::type ~> 'a::countable
  4281   'a::cpo  ~> 'a::predomain
  4282   'a::pcpo ~> 'a::domain
  4283 
  4284 * The old type class "rep" has been superseded by class "domain".
  4285 Accordingly, users of the definitional package must remove any
  4286 "default_sort rep" declarations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4287 
  4288 * The domain package (definitional mode) now supports unpointed
  4289 predomain argument types, as long as they are marked 'lazy'. (Strict
  4290 arguments must be in class "domain".) For example, the following
  4291 domain definition now works:
  4292 
  4293   domain natlist = nil | cons (lazy "nat discr") (lazy "natlist")
  4294 
  4295 * Theory HOLCF/Library/HOL_Cpo provides cpo and predomain class
  4296 instances for types from main HOL: bool, nat, int, char, 'a + 'b,
  4297 'a option, and 'a list.  Additionally, it configures fixrec and the
  4298 domain package to work with these types.  For example:
  4299 
  4300   fixrec isInl :: "('a + 'b) u -> tr"
  4301     where "isInl$(up$(Inl x)) = TT" | "isInl$(up$(Inr y)) = FF"
  4302 
  4303   domain V = VFun (lazy "V -> V") | VCon (lazy "nat") (lazy "V list")
  4304 
  4305 * The "(permissive)" option of fixrec has been replaced with a
  4306 per-equation "(unchecked)" option. See
  4307 src/HOL/HOLCF/Tutorial/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4308 
  4309 * The "bifinite" class no longer fixes a constant "approx"; the class
  4310 now just asserts that such a function exists.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4311 
  4312 * Former type "alg_defl" has been renamed to "defl".  HOLCF no longer
  4313 defines an embedding of type 'a defl into udom by default; instances
  4314 of "bifinite" and "domain" classes are available in
  4315 src/HOL/HOLCF/Library/Defl_Bifinite.thy.
  4316 
  4317 * The syntax "REP('a)" has been replaced with "DEFL('a)".
  4318 
  4319 * The predicate "directed" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4320 
  4321 * The type class "finite_po" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4322 
  4323 * The function "cprod_map" has been renamed to "prod_map".
  4324 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4325 
  4326 * The monadic bind operator on each powerdomain has new binder syntax
  4327 similar to sets, e.g. "\<Union>\<sharp>x\<in>xs. t" represents
  4328 "upper_bind\<cdot>xs\<cdot>(\<Lambda> x. t)".
  4329 
  4330 * The infix syntax for binary union on each powerdomain has changed
  4331 from e.g. "+\<sharp>" to "\<union>\<sharp>", for consistency with set
  4332 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4333 
  4334 * The constant "UU" has been renamed to "bottom".  The syntax "UU" is
  4335 still supported as an input translation.
  4336 
  4337 * Renamed some theorems (the original names are also still available).
  4338 
  4339   expand_fun_below   ~> fun_below_iff
  4340   below_fun_ext      ~> fun_belowI
  4341   expand_cfun_eq     ~> cfun_eq_iff
  4342   ext_cfun           ~> cfun_eqI
  4343   expand_cfun_below  ~> cfun_below_iff
  4344   below_cfun_ext     ~> cfun_belowI
  4345   cont2cont_Rep_CFun ~> cont2cont_APP
  4346 
  4347 * The Abs and Rep functions for various types have changed names.
  4348 Related theorem names have also changed to match. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4349 
  4350   Rep_CFun  ~> Rep_cfun
  4351   Abs_CFun  ~> Abs_cfun
  4352   Rep_Sprod ~> Rep_sprod
  4353   Abs_Sprod ~> Abs_sprod
  4354   Rep_Ssum  ~> Rep_ssum
  4355   Abs_Ssum  ~> Abs_ssum
  4356 
  4357 * Lemmas with names of the form *_defined_iff or *_strict_iff have
  4358 been renamed to *_bottom_iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4359 
  4360 * Various changes to bisimulation/coinduction with domain package:
  4361 
  4362   - Definitions of "bisim" constants no longer mention definedness.
  4363   - With mutual recursion, "bisim" predicate is now curried.
  4364   - With mutual recursion, each type gets a separate coind theorem.
  4365   - Variable names in bisim_def and coinduct rules have changed.
  4366 
  4367 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4368 
  4369 * Case combinators generated by the domain package for type "foo" are
  4370 now named "foo_case" instead of "foo_when".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4371 
  4372 * Several theorems have been renamed to more accurately reflect the
  4373 names of constants and types involved.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4443 
  4444 
  4445 *** FOL and ZF ***
  4446 
  4447 * All constant names are now qualified internally and use proper
  4448 identifiers, e.g. "IFOL.eq" instead of "op =".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4449 
  4450 
  4451 *** ML ***
  4452 
  4453 * Antiquotation @{assert} inlines a function bool -> unit that raises
  4454 Fail if the argument is false.  Due to inlining the source position of
  4455 failed assertions is included in the error output.
  4456 
  4457 * Discontinued antiquotation @{theory_ref}, which is obsolete since ML
  4458 text is in practice always evaluated with a stable theory checkpoint.
  4459 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use (Theory.check_thy @{theory}) instead.
  4460 
  4461 * Antiquotation @{theory A} refers to theory A from the ancestry of
  4462 the current context, not any accidental theory loader state as before.
  4463 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, subtle change in semantics.
  4464 
  4465 * Syntax.pretty_priority (default 0) configures the required priority
  4466 of pretty-printed output and thus affects insertion of parentheses.
  4467 
  4468 * Syntax.default_root (default "any") configures the inner syntax
  4469 category (nonterminal symbol) for parsing of terms.
  4470 
  4471 * Former exception Library.UnequalLengths now coincides with
  4472 ListPair.UnequalLengths.
  4473 
  4474 * Renamed structure MetaSimplifier to Raw_Simplifier.  Note that the
  4475 main functionality is provided by structure Simplifier.
  4476 
  4477 * Renamed raw "explode" function to "raw_explode" to emphasize its
  4478 meaning.  Note that internally to Isabelle, Symbol.explode is used in
  4479 almost all situations.
  4480 
  4481 * Discontinued obsolete function sys_error and exception SYS_ERROR.
  4482 See implementation manual for further details on exceptions in
  4483 Isabelle/ML.
  4484 
  4485 * Renamed setmp_noncritical to Unsynchronized.setmp to emphasize its
  4486 meaning.
  4487 
  4488 * Renamed structure PureThy to Pure_Thy and moved most of its
  4489 operations to structure Global_Theory, to emphasize that this is
  4490 rarely-used global-only stuff.
  4491 
  4492 * Discontinued Output.debug.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use plain writeln
  4493 instead (or tracing for high-volume output).
  4494 
  4495 * Configuration option show_question_marks only affects regular pretty
  4496 printing of types and terms, not raw Term.string_of_vname.
  4497 
  4498 * ML_Context.thm and ML_Context.thms are no longer pervasive.  Rare
  4499 INCOMPATIBILITY, superseded by static antiquotations @{thm} and
  4500 @{thms} for most purposes.
  4501 
  4502 * ML structure Unsynchronized is never opened, not even in Isar
  4503 interaction mode as before.  Old Unsynchronized.set etc. have been
  4504 discontinued -- use plain := instead.  This should be *rare* anyway,
  4505 since modern tools always work via official context data, notably
  4506 configuration options.
  4507 
  4508 * Parallel and asynchronous execution requires special care concerning
  4509 interrupts.  Structure Exn provides some convenience functions that
  4510 avoid working directly with raw Interrupt.  User code must not absorb
  4511 interrupts -- intermediate handling (for cleanup etc.) needs to be
  4512 followed by re-raising of the original exception.  Another common
  4513 source of mistakes are "handle _" patterns, which make the meaning of
  4514 the program subject to physical effects of the environment.

  4517 
  4518 New in Isabelle2009-2 (June 2010)
  4519 ---------------------------------
  4520 
  4521 *** General ***
  4522 
  4523 * Authentic syntax for *all* logical entities (type classes, type
  4524 constructors, term constants): provides simple and robust
  4525 correspondence between formal entities and concrete syntax.  Within
  4526 the parse tree / AST representations, "constants" are decorated by
  4527 their category (class, type, const) and spelled out explicitly with
  4528 their full internal name.
  4529 
  4530 Substantial INCOMPATIBILITY concerning low-level syntax declarations
  4531 and translations (translation rules and translation functions in ML).
  4532 Some hints on upgrading:
  4533 
  4534   - Many existing uses of 'syntax' and 'translations' can be replaced
  4535     by more modern 'type_notation', 'notation' and 'abbreviation',
  4536     which are independent of this issue.
  4537 
  4538   - 'translations' require markup within the AST; the term syntax
  4539     provides the following special forms:
  4540 
  4541       CONST c   -- produces syntax version of constant c from context
  4542       XCONST c  -- literally c, checked as constant from context
  4543       c         -- literally c, if declared by 'syntax'
  4544 
  4545     Plain identifiers are treated as AST variables -- occasionally the
  4546     system indicates accidental variables via the error "rhs contains
  4547     extra variables".
  4548 
  4549     Type classes and type constructors are marked according to their
  4550     concrete syntax.  Some old translations rules need to be written
  4551     for the "type" category, using type constructor application
  4552     instead of pseudo-term application of the default category
  4553     "logic".
  4554 
  4555   - 'parse_translation' etc. in ML may use the following
  4556     antiquotations:
  4557 
  4558       @{class_syntax c}   -- type class c within parse tree / AST
  4559       @{term_syntax c}    -- type constructor c within parse tree / AST
  4560       @{const_syntax c}   -- ML version of "CONST c" above
  4561       @{syntax_const c}   -- literally c (checked wrt. 'syntax' declarations)
  4562 
  4563   - Literal types within 'typed_print_translations', i.e. those *not*
  4564     represented as pseudo-terms are represented verbatim.  Use @{class
  4565     c} or @{type_name c} here instead of the above syntax
  4566     antiquotations.
  4567 
  4568 Note that old non-authentic syntax was based on unqualified base
  4569 names, so all of the above "constant" names would coincide.  Recall
  4570 that 'print_syntax' and ML_command "set Syntax.trace_ast" help to
  4571 diagnose syntax problems.
  4572 
  4573 * Type constructors admit general mixfix syntax, not just infix.
  4574 
  4575 * Concrete syntax may be attached to local entities without a proof
  4576 body, too.  This works via regular mixfix annotations for 'fix',
  4577 'def', 'obtain' etc. or via the explicit 'write' command, which is
  4578 similar to the 'notation' command in theory specifications.
  4579 
  4580 * Discontinued unnamed infix syntax (legacy feature for many years) --
  4581 need to specify constant name and syntax separately.  Internal ML
  4582 datatype constructors have been renamed from InfixName to Infix etc.
  4583 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4584 
  4585 * Schematic theorem statements need to be explicitly markup as such,
  4586 via commands 'schematic_lemma', 'schematic_theorem',
  4587 'schematic_corollary'.  Thus the relevance of the proof is made
  4588 syntactically clear, which impacts performance in a parallel or
  4589 asynchronous interactive environment.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4590 
  4591 * Use of cumulative prems via "!" in some proof methods has been
  4592 discontinued (old legacy feature).
  4593 
  4594 * References 'trace_simp' and 'debug_simp' have been replaced by
  4595 configuration options stored in the context. Enabling tracing (the
  4596 case of debugging is similar) in proofs works via
  4597 
  4598   using [[trace_simp = true]]
  4599 
  4600 Tracing is then active for all invocations of the simplifier in
  4601 subsequent goal refinement steps. Tracing may also still be enabled or
  4602 disabled via the ProofGeneral settings menu.
  4603 
  4604 * Separate commands 'hide_class', 'hide_type', 'hide_const',
  4605 'hide_fact' replace the former 'hide' KIND command.  Minor
  4606 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4607 
  4608 * Improved parallelism of proof term normalization: usedir -p2 -q0 is
  4609 more efficient than combinations with -q1 or -q2.
  4610 
  4611 
  4612 *** Pure ***
  4613 
  4614 * Proofterms record type-class reasoning explicitly, using the
  4615 "unconstrain" operation internally.  This eliminates all sort
  4616 constraints from a theorem and proof, introducing explicit
  4617 OFCLASS-premises.  On the proof term level, this operation is
  4618 automatically applied at theorem boundaries, such that closed proofs
  4619 are always free of sort constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools that
  4620 inspect proof terms.
  4621 
  4622 * Local theory specifications may depend on extra type variables that
  4623 are not present in the result type -- arguments TYPE('a) :: 'a itself
  4624 are added internally.  For example:
  4625 
  4626   definition unitary :: bool where "unitary = (ALL (x::'a) y. x = y)"
  4627 
  4628 * Predicates of locales introduced by classes carry a mandatory
  4629 "class" prefix.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4630 
  4631 * Vacuous class specifications observe default sort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4632 
  4633 * Old 'axclass' command has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  4634 'class' instead.
  4635 
  4636 * Command 'code_reflect' allows to incorporate generated ML code into
  4637 runtime environment; replaces immature code_datatype antiquotation.
  4638 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4639 
  4640 * Code generator: simple concept for abstract datatypes obeying
  4641 invariants.
  4642 
  4643 * Code generator: details of internal data cache have no impact on the
  4644 user space functionality any longer.
  4645 
  4646 * Methods "unfold_locales" and "intro_locales" ignore non-locale
  4647 subgoals.  This is more appropriate for interpretations with 'where'.
  4648 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4649 
  4650 * Command 'example_proof' opens an empty proof body.  This allows to
  4651 experiment with Isar, without producing any persistent result.
  4652 
  4653 * Commands 'type_notation' and 'no_type_notation' declare type syntax
  4654 within a local theory context, with explicit checking of the
  4655 constructors involved (in contrast to the raw 'syntax' versions).
  4656 
  4657 * Commands 'types' and 'typedecl' now work within a local theory
  4658 context -- without introducing dependencies on parameters or
  4659 assumptions, which is not possible in Isabelle/Pure.
  4660 
  4661 * Command 'defaultsort' has been renamed to 'default_sort', it works
  4662 within a local theory context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4663 
  4664 
  4665 *** HOL ***
  4666 
  4667 * Command 'typedef' now works within a local theory context -- without
  4668 introducing dependencies on parameters or assumptions, which is not
  4669 possible in Isabelle/Pure/HOL.  Note that the logical environment may
  4670 contain multiple interpretations of local typedefs (with different
  4671 non-emptiness proofs), even in a global theory context.
  4672 
  4673 * New package for quotient types.  Commands 'quotient_type' and
  4674 'quotient_definition' may be used for defining types and constants by
  4675 quotient constructions.  An example is the type of integers created by
  4676 quotienting pairs of natural numbers:
  4677 
  4678   fun
  4679     intrel :: "(nat * nat) => (nat * nat) => bool"
  4680   where
  4681     "intrel (x, y) (u, v) = (x + v = u + y)"
  4682 
  4683   quotient_type int = "nat * nat" / intrel
  4684     by (auto simp add: equivp_def expand_fun_eq)
  4685 
  4686   quotient_definition
  4687     "0::int" is "(0::nat, 0::nat)"
  4688 
  4689 The method "lifting" can be used to lift of theorems from the
  4690 underlying "raw" type to the quotient type.  The example
  4691 src/HOL/Quotient_Examples/FSet.thy includes such a quotient
  4692 construction and provides a reasoning infrastructure for finite sets.
  4693 
  4694 * Renamed Library/Quotient.thy to Library/Quotient_Type.thy to avoid
  4695 clash with new theory Quotient in Main HOL.
  4696 
  4697 * Moved the SMT binding into the main HOL session, eliminating
  4698 separate HOL-SMT session.
  4699 
  4700 * List membership infix mem operation is only an input abbreviation.
  4701 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4702 
  4703 * Theory Library/Word.thy has been removed.  Use library Word/Word.thy
  4704 for future developements; former Library/Word.thy is still present in
  4705 the AFP entry RSAPPS.
  4706 
  4707 * Theorem Int.int_induct renamed to Int.int_of_nat_induct and is no
  4708 longer shadowed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4709 
  4710 * Dropped theorem duplicate comp_arith; use semiring_norm instead.
  4711 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4712 
  4713 * Dropped theorem RealPow.real_sq_order; use power2_le_imp_le instead.
  4714 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4715 
  4716 * Dropped normalizing_semiring etc; use the facts in semiring classes
  4717 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4718 
  4719 * Dropped several real-specific versions of lemmas about floor and
  4720 ceiling; use the generic lemmas from theory "Archimedean_Field"
  4721 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4753 
  4754 * Theory "Finite_Set": various folding_XXX locales facilitate the
  4755 application of the various fold combinators on finite sets.
  4756 
  4757 * Library theory "RBT" renamed to "RBT_Impl"; new library theory "RBT"
  4758 provides abstract red-black tree type which is backed by "RBT_Impl" as
  4759 implementation.  INCOMPATIBILTY.
  4760 
  4761 * Theory Library/Coinductive_List has been removed -- superseded by
  4762 AFP/thys/Coinductive.
  4763 
  4764 * Theory PReal, including the type "preal" and related operations, has
  4765 been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4766 
  4767 * Real: new development using Cauchy Sequences.
  4768 
  4769 * Split off theory "Big_Operators" containing setsum, setprod,
  4770 Inf_fin, Sup_fin, Min, Max from theory Finite_Set.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4771 
  4772 * Theory "Rational" renamed to "Rat", for consistency with "Nat",
  4773 "Int" etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4774 
  4775 * Constant Rat.normalize needs to be qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4776 
  4777 * New set of rules "ac_simps" provides combined assoc / commute
  4778 rewrites for all interpretations of the appropriate generic locales.
  4779 
  4780 * Renamed theory "OrderedGroup" to "Groups" and split theory
  4781 "Ring_and_Field" into theories "Rings" and "Fields"; for more
  4782 appropriate and more consistent names suitable for name prefixes
  4783 within the HOL theories.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4784 
  4785 * Some generic constants have been put to appropriate theories:
  4786   - less_eq, less: Orderings
  4787   - zero, one, plus, minus, uminus, times, abs, sgn: Groups
  4788   - inverse, divide: Rings
  4789 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4790 
  4791 * More consistent naming of type classes involving orderings (and
  4792 lattices):
  4793 
  4794     lower_semilattice                   ~> semilattice_inf
  4795     upper_semilattice                   ~> semilattice_sup

  4830     ordered_semiring_strict             ~> linordered_semiring_strict
  4831 
  4832   The following slightly odd type classes have been moved to a
  4833   separate theory Library/Lattice_Algebras:
  4834 
  4835     lordered_ab_group_add               ~> lattice_ab_group_add
  4836     lordered_ab_group_add_abs           ~> lattice_ab_group_add_abs
  4837     lordered_ab_group_add_meet          ~> semilattice_inf_ab_group_add
  4838     lordered_ab_group_add_join          ~> semilattice_sup_ab_group_add
  4839     lordered_ring                       ~> lattice_ring
  4840 
  4841 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4842 
  4843 * Refined field classes:
  4844   - classes division_ring_inverse_zero, field_inverse_zero,
  4845     linordered_field_inverse_zero include rule inverse 0 = 0 --
  4846     subsumes former division_by_zero class;
  4847   - numerous lemmas have been ported from field to division_ring.
  4848 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4849 
  4850 * Refined algebra theorem collections:
  4851   - dropped theorem group group_simps, use algebra_simps instead;
  4852   - dropped theorem group ring_simps, use field_simps instead;
  4853   - proper theorem collection field_simps subsumes former theorem
  4854     groups field_eq_simps and field_simps;
  4855   - dropped lemma eq_minus_self_iff which is a duplicate for
  4856     equal_neg_zero.
  4857 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4858 
  4859 * Theory Finite_Set and List: some lemmas have been generalized from
  4860 sets to lattices:
  4861 
  4862   fun_left_comm_idem_inter      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_inf
  4863   fun_left_comm_idem_union      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_sup
  4864   inter_Inter_fold_inter        ~> inf_Inf_fold_inf

  4870   INTER_fold_inter              ~> INFI_fold_inf
  4871   UNION_fold_union              ~> SUPR_fold_sup
  4872 
  4873 * Theory "Complete_Lattice": lemmas top_def and bot_def have been
  4874 replaced by the more convenient lemmas Inf_empty and Sup_empty.
  4875 Dropped lemmas Inf_insert_simp and Sup_insert_simp, which are subsumed
  4876 by Inf_insert and Sup_insert.  Lemmas Inf_UNIV and Sup_UNIV replace
  4877 former Inf_Univ and Sup_Univ.  Lemmas inf_top_right and sup_bot_right
  4878 subsume inf_top and sup_bot respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4879 
  4880 * Reorganized theory Multiset: swapped notation of pointwise and
  4881 multiset order:
  4882 
  4883   - pointwise ordering is instance of class order with standard syntax
  4884     <= and <;
  4885   - multiset ordering has syntax <=# and <#; partial order properties
  4886     are provided by means of interpretation with prefix
  4887     multiset_order;
  4888   - less duplication, less historical organization of sections,
  4889     conversion from associations lists to multisets, rudimentary code
  4890     generation;
  4891   - use insert_DiffM2 [symmetric] instead of elem_imp_eq_diff_union,
  4892     if needed.
  4893 
  4894 Renamed:
  4895 
  4896   multiset_eq_conv_count_eq  ~>  multiset_ext_iff
  4897   multi_count_ext  ~>  multiset_ext
  4898   diff_union_inverse2  ~>  diff_union_cancelR
  4899 
  4900 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4901 
  4902 * Theory Permutation: replaced local "remove" by List.remove1.
  4903 
  4904 * Code generation: ML and OCaml code is decorated with signatures.
  4905 
  4906 * Theory List: added transpose.
  4907 
  4908 * Library/Nat_Bijection.thy is a collection of bijective functions
  4909 between nat and other types, which supersedes the older libraries
  4910 Library/Nat_Int_Bij.thy and HOLCF/NatIso.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4940   Nat_Int_Bij.bij_int_to_nat_bij  ~> bij_int_decode
  4941 
  4942 * Sledgehammer:
  4943   - Renamed ATP commands:
  4944     atp_info     ~> sledgehammer running_atps
  4945     atp_kill     ~> sledgehammer kill_atps
  4946     atp_messages ~> sledgehammer messages
  4947     atp_minimize ~> sledgehammer minimize
  4948     print_atps   ~> sledgehammer available_atps
  4949     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4950   - Added user's manual ("isabelle doc sledgehammer").
  4951   - Added option syntax and "sledgehammer_params" to customize
  4952     Sledgehammer's behavior.  See the manual for details.
  4953   - Modified the Isar proof reconstruction code so that it produces
  4954     direct proofs rather than proofs by contradiction.  (This feature
  4955     is still experimental.)
  4956   - Made Isar proof reconstruction work for SPASS, remote ATPs, and in
  4957     full-typed mode.
  4958   - Added support for TPTP syntax for SPASS via the "spass_tptp" ATP.
  4959 
  4960 * Nitpick:
  4961   - Added and implemented "binary_ints" and "bits" options.
  4962   - Added "std" option and implemented support for nonstandard models.
  4963   - Added and implemented "finitize" option to improve the precision
  4964     of infinite datatypes based on a monotonicity analysis.
  4965   - Added support for quotient types.
  4966   - Added support for "specification" and "ax_specification"
  4967     constructs.
  4968   - Added support for local definitions (for "function" and
  4969     "termination" proofs).
  4970   - Added support for term postprocessors.
  4971   - Optimized "Multiset.multiset" and "FinFun.finfun".
  4972   - Improved efficiency of "destroy_constrs" optimization.
  4973   - Fixed soundness bugs related to "destroy_constrs" optimization and
  4974     record getters.
  4975   - Fixed soundness bug related to higher-order constructors.
  4976   - Fixed soundness bug when "full_descrs" is enabled.
  4977   - Improved precision of set constructs.
  4978   - Added "atoms" option.
  4979   - Added cache to speed up repeated Kodkod invocations on the same
  4980     problems.
  4981   - Renamed "MiniSatJNI", "zChaffJNI", "BerkMinAlloy", and
  4982     "SAT4JLight" to "MiniSat_JNI", "zChaff_JNI", "BerkMin_Alloy", and
  4983     "SAT4J_Light".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4984   - Removed "skolemize", "uncurry", "sym_break", "flatten_prop",
  4985     "sharing_depth", and "show_skolems" options.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4986   - Removed "nitpick_intro" attribute.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4987 
  4988 * Method "induct" now takes instantiations of the form t, where t is not
  4989   a variable, as a shorthand for "x == t", where x is a fresh variable.
  4990   If this is not intended, t has to be enclosed in parentheses.
  4991   By default, the equalities generated by definitional instantiations
  4992   are pre-simplified, which may cause parameters of inductive cases
  4993   to disappear, or may even delete some of the inductive cases.
  4994   Use "induct (no_simp)" instead of "induct" to restore the old
  4995   behaviour. The (no_simp) option is also understood by the "cases"
  4996   and "nominal_induct" methods, which now perform pre-simplification, too.
  4997   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4998 
  4999 
  5000 *** HOLCF ***
  5001 
  5002 * Variable names in lemmas generated by the domain package have
  5003 changed; the naming scheme is now consistent with the HOL datatype
  5004 package.  Some proof scripts may be affected, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5005 
  5006 * The domain package no longer defines the function "foo_copy" for
  5007 recursive domain "foo".  The reach lemma is now stated directly in
  5008 terms of "foo_take".  Lemmas and proofs that mention "foo_copy" must
  5009 be reformulated in terms of "foo_take", INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5010 
  5011 * Most definedness lemmas generated by the domain package (previously
  5012 of the form "x ~= UU ==> foo$x ~= UU") now have an if-and-only-if form
  5013 like "foo$x = UU <-> x = UU", which works better as a simp rule.
  5014 Proofs that used definedness lemmas as intro rules may break,
  5015 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5016 
  5017 * Induction and casedist rules generated by the domain package now
  5018 declare proper case_names (one called "bottom", and one named for each
  5019 constructor).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5020 
  5021 * For mutually-recursive domains, separate "reach" and "take_lemma"
  5022 rules are generated for each domain, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5023 
  5024   foo_bar.reach       ~> foo.reach  bar.reach
  5025   foo_bar.take_lemmas ~> foo.take_lemma  bar.take_lemma
  5026 
  5027 * Some lemmas generated by the domain package have been renamed for
  5028 consistency with the datatype package, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5029 
  5030   foo.ind        ~> foo.induct
  5031   foo.finite_ind ~> foo.finite_induct
  5032   foo.coind      ~> foo.coinduct
  5033   foo.casedist   ~> foo.exhaust
  5034   foo.exhaust    ~> foo.nchotomy
  5035 
  5036 * For consistency with other definition packages, the fixrec package
  5037 now generates qualified theorem names, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5038 
  5039   foo_simps  ~> foo.simps
  5040   foo_unfold ~> foo.unfold
  5041   foo_induct ~> foo.induct
  5042 
  5043 * The "fixrec_simp" attribute has been removed.  The "fixrec_simp"
  5044 method and internal fixrec proofs now use the default simpset instead.
  5045 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5046 
  5047 * The "contlub" predicate has been removed.  Proof scripts should use
  5048 lemma contI2 in place of monocontlub2cont, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5049 
  5050 * The "admw" predicate has been removed, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5051 
  5052 * The constants cpair, cfst, and csnd have been removed in favor of
  5053 Pair, fst, and snd from Isabelle/HOL, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5054 
  5055 
  5056 *** ML ***
  5057 
  5058 * Antiquotations for basic formal entities:
  5059 
  5060     @{class NAME}         -- type class
  5061     @{class_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of the above
  5062 
  5063     @{type_name NAME}     -- logical type
  5064     @{type_abbrev NAME}   -- type abbreviation
  5065     @{nonterminal NAME}   -- type of concrete syntactic category
  5066     @{type_syntax NAME}   -- syntax representation of any of the above
  5067 
  5068     @{const_name NAME}    -- logical constant (INCOMPATIBILITY)
  5069     @{const_abbrev NAME}  -- abbreviated constant
  5070     @{const_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of any of the above
  5071 
  5072 * Antiquotation @{syntax_const NAME} ensures that NAME refers to a raw
  5073 syntax constant (cf. 'syntax' command).
  5074 
  5075 * Antiquotation @{make_string} inlines a function to print arbitrary
  5076 values similar to the ML toplevel.  The result is compiler dependent
  5077 and may fall back on "?" in certain situations.
  5078 
  5079 * Diagnostic commands 'ML_val' and 'ML_command' may refer to
  5080 antiquotations @{Isar.state} and @{Isar.goal}.  This replaces impure
  5081 Isar.state() and Isar.goal(), which belong to the old TTY loop and do
  5082 not work with the asynchronous Isar document model.
  5083 
  5084 * Configuration options now admit dynamic default values, depending on
  5085 the context or even global references.
  5086 
  5087 * SHA1.digest digests strings according to SHA-1 (see RFC 3174).  It
  5088 uses an efficient external library if available (for Poly/ML).
  5089 
  5090 * Renamed some important ML structures, while keeping the old names
  5091 for some time as aliases within the structure Legacy:
  5092 
  5093   OuterKeyword  ~>  Keyword
  5094   OuterLex      ~>  Token
  5095   OuterParse    ~>  Parse
  5096   OuterSyntax   ~>  Outer_Syntax
  5097   PrintMode     ~>  Print_Mode
  5098   SpecParse     ~>  Parse_Spec
  5099   ThyInfo       ~>  Thy_Info
  5100   ThyLoad       ~>  Thy_Load
  5101   ThyOutput     ~>  Thy_Output
  5102   TypeInfer     ~>  Type_Infer
  5103 
  5104 Note that "open Legacy" simplifies porting of sources, but forgetting
  5105 to remove it again will complicate porting again in the future.
  5106 
  5107 * Most operations that refer to a global context are named
  5108 accordingly, e.g. Simplifier.global_context or
  5109 ProofContext.init_global.  There are some situations where a global
  5110 context actually works, but under normal circumstances one needs to
  5111 pass the proper local context through the code!
  5112 
  5113 * Discontinued old TheoryDataFun with its copy/init operation -- data
  5114 needs to be pure.  Functor Theory_Data_PP retains the traditional
  5115 Pretty.pp argument to merge, which is absent in the standard
  5116 Theory_Data version.
  5117 
  5118 * Sorts.certify_sort and derived "cert" operations for types and terms
  5119 no longer minimize sorts.  Thus certification at the boundary of the
  5120 inference kernel becomes invariant under addition of class relations,
  5121 which is an important monotonicity principle.  Sorts are now minimized
  5122 in the syntax layer only, at the boundary between the end-user and the
  5123 system.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY, may have to use Sign.minimize_sort
  5124 explicitly in rare situations.
  5125 
  5126 * Renamed old-style Drule.standard to Drule.export_without_context, to
  5127 emphasize that this is in no way a standard operation.
  5128 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5129 
  5130 * Subgoal.FOCUS (and variants): resulting goal state is normalized as
  5131 usual for resolution.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5132 
  5133 * Renamed varify/unvarify operations to varify_global/unvarify_global
  5134 to emphasize that these only work in a global situation (which is
  5135 quite rare).
  5136 
  5137 * Curried take and drop in library.ML; negative length is interpreted
  5138 as infinity (as in chop).  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5139 
  5140 * Proof terms: type substitutions on proof constants now use canonical
  5141 order of type variables.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools working with proof
  5142 terms.
  5143 
  5144 * Raw axioms/defs may no longer carry sort constraints, and raw defs
  5145 may no longer carry premises.  User-level specifications are
  5146 transformed accordingly by Thm.add_axiom/add_def.
  5147 
  5148 
  5149 *** System ***
  5150 
  5151 * Discontinued special HOL_USEDIR_OPTIONS for the main HOL image;
  5152 ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS applies uniformly to all sessions.  Note that
  5153 proof terms are enabled unconditionally in the new HOL-Proofs image.
  5154 
  5155 * Discontinued old ISABELLE and ISATOOL environment settings (legacy
  5156 feature since Isabelle2009).  Use ISABELLE_PROCESS and ISABELLE_TOOL,
  5157 respectively.
  5158 
  5159 * Old lib/scripts/polyml-platform is superseded by the
  5160 ISABELLE_PLATFORM setting variable, which defaults to the 32 bit
  5161 variant, even on a 64 bit machine.  The following example setting
  5162 prefers 64 bit if available:
  5163 
  5164   ML_PLATFORM="${ISABELLE_PLATFORM64:-$ISABELLE_PLATFORM}"
  5165 
  5166 * The preliminary Isabelle/jEdit application demonstrates the emerging
  5167 Isabelle/Scala layer for advanced prover interaction and integration.
  5168 See src/Tools/jEdit or "isabelle jedit" provided by the properly built
  5169 component.
  5170 
  5171 * "IsabelleText" is a Unicode font derived from Bitstream Vera Mono
  5172 and Bluesky TeX fonts.  It provides the usual Isabelle symbols,
  5173 similar to the default assignment of the document preparation system
  5174 (cf. isabellesym.sty).  The Isabelle/Scala class Isabelle_System
  5175 provides some operations for direct access to the font without asking
  5176 the user for manual installation.
  5177 
  5178 
  5179 
  5180 New in Isabelle2009-1 (December 2009)
  5181 -------------------------------------
  5182 
  5183 *** General ***
  5184 
  5185 * Discontinued old form of "escaped symbols" such as \\<forall>.  Only
  5186 one backslash should be used, even in ML sources.
  5187 
  5188 
  5189 *** Pure ***
  5190 
  5191 * Locale interpretation propagates mixins along the locale hierarchy.
  5192 The currently only available mixins are the equations used to map
  5193 local definitions to terms of the target domain of an interpretation.
  5194 
  5195 * Reactivated diagnostic command 'print_interps'.  Use "print_interps
  5196 loc" to print all interpretations of locale "loc" in the theory.
  5197 Interpretations in proofs are not shown.
  5198 
  5199 * Thoroughly revised locales tutorial.  New section on conditional
  5200 interpretation.
  5201 
  5202 * On instantiation of classes, remaining undefined class parameters
  5203 are formally declared.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5204 
  5205 
  5206 *** Document preparation ***
  5207 
  5208 * New generalized style concept for printing terms: @{foo (style) ...}
  5209 instead of @{foo_style style ...}  (old form is still retained for
  5210 backward compatibility).  Styles can be also applied for
  5211 antiquotations prop, term_type and typeof.
  5212 
  5213 
  5214 *** HOL ***
  5215 
  5216 * New proof method "smt" for a combination of first-order logic with
  5217 equality, linear and nonlinear (natural/integer/real) arithmetic, and
  5218 fixed-size bitvectors; there is also basic support for higher-order
  5219 features (esp. lambda abstractions).  It is an incomplete decision
  5220 procedure based on external SMT solvers using the oracle mechanism;
  5221 for the SMT solver Z3, this method is proof-producing.  Certificates
  5222 are provided to avoid calling the external solvers solely for
  5223 re-checking proofs.  Due to a remote SMT service there is no need for
  5224 installing SMT solvers locally.  See src/HOL/SMT.
  5225 
  5226 * New commands to load and prove verification conditions generated by
  5227 the Boogie program verifier or derived systems (e.g. the Verifying C
  5228 Compiler (VCC) or Spec#).  See src/HOL/Boogie.
  5229 
  5230 * New counterexample generator tool 'nitpick' based on the Kodkod
  5231 relational model finder.  See src/HOL/Tools/Nitpick and
  5232 src/HOL/Nitpick_Examples.
  5233 
  5234 * New commands 'code_pred' and 'values' to invoke the predicate
  5235 compiler and to enumerate values of inductive predicates.
  5236 
  5237 * A tabled implementation of the reflexive transitive closure.
  5238 
  5239 * New implementation of quickcheck uses generic code generator;
  5240 default generators are provided for all suitable HOL types, records
  5241 and datatypes.  Old quickcheck can be re-activated importing theory
  5242 Library/SML_Quickcheck.
  5243 
  5244 * New testing tool Mirabelle for automated proof tools.  Applies
  5245 several tools and tactics like sledgehammer, metis, or quickcheck, to
  5246 every proof step in a theory.  To be used in batch mode via the
  5247 "mirabelle" utility.
  5248 
  5249 * New proof method "sos" (sum of squares) for nonlinear real
  5250 arithmetic (originally due to John Harison). It requires theory
  5251 Library/Sum_Of_Squares.  It is not a complete decision procedure but
  5252 works well in practice on quantifier-free real arithmetic with +, -,
  5253 *, ^, =, <= and <, i.e. boolean combinations of equalities and
  5254 inequalities between polynomials.  It makes use of external
  5255 semidefinite programming solvers.  Method "sos" generates a
  5256 certificate that can be pasted into the proof thus avoiding the need
  5257 to call an external tool every time the proof is checked.  See
  5258 src/HOL/Library/Sum_Of_Squares.
  5259 
  5260 * New method "linarith" invokes existing linear arithmetic decision
  5261 procedure only.
  5262 
  5263 * New command 'atp_minimal' reduces result produced by Sledgehammer.
  5264 
  5265 * New Sledgehammer option "Full Types" in Proof General settings menu.
  5266 Causes full type information to be output to the ATPs.  This slows
  5267 ATPs down considerably but eliminates a source of unsound "proofs"
  5268 that fail later.
  5269 
  5270 * New method "metisFT": A version of metis that uses full type
  5271 information in order to avoid failures of proof reconstruction.
  5272 
  5273 * New evaluator "approximate" approximates an real valued term using
  5274 the same method as the approximation method.
  5275 
  5276 * Method "approximate" now supports arithmetic expressions as
  5277 boundaries of intervals and implements interval splitting and Taylor
  5278 series expansion.
  5279 
  5280 * ML antiquotation @{code_datatype} inserts definition of a datatype
  5281 generated by the code generator; e.g. see src/HOL/Predicate.thy.
  5282 
  5283 * New theory SupInf of the supremum and infimum operators for sets of
  5284 reals.
  5285 
  5286 * New theory Probability, which contains a development of measure
  5287 theory, eventually leading to Lebesgue integration and probability.
  5288 
  5289 * Extended Multivariate Analysis to include derivation and Brouwer's
  5290 fixpoint theorem.
  5291 
  5292 * Reorganization of number theory, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5293   - new number theory development for nat and int, in theories Divides
  5294     and GCD as well as in new session Number_Theory
  5295   - some constants and facts now suffixed with _nat and _int
  5296     accordingly
  5297   - former session NumberTheory now named Old_Number_Theory, including
  5298     theories Legacy_GCD and Primes (prefer Number_Theory if possible)
  5299   - moved theory Pocklington from src/HOL/Library to
  5300     src/HOL/Old_Number_Theory
  5301 
  5302 * Theory GCD includes functions Gcd/GCD and Lcm/LCM for the gcd and
  5303 lcm of finite and infinite sets. It is shown that they form a complete
  5304 lattice.
  5305 
  5306 * Class semiring_div requires superclass no_zero_divisors and proof of
  5307 div_mult_mult1; theorems div_mult_mult1, div_mult_mult2,
  5308 div_mult_mult1_if, div_mult_mult1 and div_mult_mult2 have been
  5309 generalized to class semiring_div, subsuming former theorems
  5310 zdiv_zmult_zmult1, zdiv_zmult_zmult1_if, zdiv_zmult_zmult1 and
  5311 zdiv_zmult_zmult2.  div_mult_mult1 is now [simp] by default.
  5312 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5313 
  5314 * Refinements to lattice classes and sets:
  5315   - less default intro/elim rules in locale variant, more default
  5316     intro/elim rules in class variant: more uniformity
  5317   - lemma ge_sup_conv renamed to le_sup_iff, in accordance with
  5318     le_inf_iff
  5319   - dropped lemma alias inf_ACI for inf_aci (same for sup_ACI and
  5320     sup_aci)
  5321   - renamed ACI to inf_sup_aci
  5322   - new class "boolean_algebra"
  5323   - class "complete_lattice" moved to separate theory
  5324     "Complete_Lattice"; corresponding constants (and abbreviations)
  5325     renamed and with authentic syntax:
  5326     Set.Inf ~>    Complete_Lattice.Inf
  5327     Set.Sup ~>    Complete_Lattice.Sup
  5328     Set.INFI ~>   Complete_Lattice.INFI
  5329     Set.SUPR ~>   Complete_Lattice.SUPR
  5330     Set.Inter ~>  Complete_Lattice.Inter
  5331     Set.Union ~>  Complete_Lattice.Union
  5332     Set.INTER ~>  Complete_Lattice.INTER
  5333     Set.UNION ~>  Complete_Lattice.UNION
  5334   - authentic syntax for
  5335     Set.Pow
  5336     Set.image
  5337   - mere abbreviations:
  5338     Set.empty               (for bot)
  5339     Set.UNIV                (for top)
  5340     Set.inter               (for inf, formerly Set.Int)
  5341     Set.union               (for sup, formerly Set.Un)
  5342     Complete_Lattice.Inter  (for Inf)
  5343     Complete_Lattice.Union  (for Sup)
  5344     Complete_Lattice.INTER  (for INFI)
  5345     Complete_Lattice.UNION  (for SUPR)
  5346   - object-logic definitions as far as appropriate
  5347 
  5348 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Care is required when theorems Int_subset_iff or
  5349 Un_subset_iff are explicitly deleted as default simp rules; then also
  5350 their lattice counterparts le_inf_iff and le_sup_iff have to be
  5351 deleted to achieve the desired effect.
  5352 
  5353 * Rules inf_absorb1, inf_absorb2, sup_absorb1, sup_absorb2 are no simp
  5354 rules by default any longer; the same applies to min_max.inf_absorb1
  5355 etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5356 
  5357 * Rules sup_Int_eq and sup_Un_eq are no longer declared as
  5358 pred_set_conv by default.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5359 
  5360 * Power operations on relations and functions are now one dedicated
  5361 constant "compow" with infix syntax "^^".  Power operation on
  5362 multiplicative monoids retains syntax "^" and is now defined generic
  5363 in class power.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5364 
  5365 * Relation composition "R O S" now has a more standard argument order:
  5366 "R O S = {(x, z). EX y. (x, y) : R & (y, z) : S}".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  5367 rewrite propositions with "S O R" --> "R O S". Proofs may occasionally
  5368 break, since the O_assoc rule was not rewritten like this.  Fix using
  5369 O_assoc[symmetric].  The same applies to the curried version "R OO S".
  5370 
  5371 * Function "Inv" is renamed to "inv_into" and function "inv" is now an
  5372 abbreviation for "inv_into UNIV".  Lemmas are renamed accordingly.
  5373 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5374 
  5375 * Most rules produced by inductive and datatype package have mandatory
  5376 prefixes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5377 
  5378 * Changed "DERIV_intros" to a dynamic fact, which can be augmented by
  5379 the attribute of the same name.  Each of the theorems in the list
  5380 DERIV_intros assumes composition with an additional function and
  5381 matches a variable to the derivative, which has to be solved by the
  5382 Simplifier.  Hence (auto intro!: DERIV_intros) computes the derivative
  5383 of most elementary terms.  Former Maclauren.DERIV_tac and
  5384 Maclauren.deriv_tac should be replaced by (auto intro!: DERIV_intros).
  5385 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5386 
  5387 * Code generator attributes follow the usual underscore convention:
  5388     code_unfold     replaces    code unfold
  5389     code_post       replaces    code post
  5390     etc.
  5391   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5392 
  5393 * Renamed methods:
  5394     sizechange -> size_change
  5395     induct_scheme -> induction_schema
  5396   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5397 
  5398 * Discontinued abbreviation "arbitrary" of constant "undefined".
  5399 INCOMPATIBILITY, use "undefined" directly.
  5400 
  5401 * Renamed theorems:
  5402     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  5403     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1_left -> Suc_eq_plus1_left
  5404     Suc_plus1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  5405     *anti_sym -> *antisym*
  5406     vector_less_eq_def -> vector_le_def
  5407   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5408 
  5409 * Added theorem List.map_map as [simp].  Removed List.map_compose.
  5410 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5411 
  5412 * Removed predicate "M hassize n" (<--> card M = n & finite M).
  5413 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5414 
  5415 
  5416 *** HOLCF ***
  5417 
  5418 * Theory Representable defines a class "rep" of domains that are
  5419 representable (via an ep-pair) in the universal domain type "udom".
  5420 Instances are provided for all type constructors defined in HOLCF.
  5421 
  5422 * The 'new_domain' command is a purely definitional version of the
  5423 domain package, for representable domains.  Syntax is identical to the
  5424 old domain package.  The 'new_domain' package also supports indirect
  5425 recursion using previously-defined type constructors.  See
  5426 src/HOLCF/ex/New_Domain.thy for examples.
  5427 
  5428 * Method "fixrec_simp" unfolds one step of a fixrec-defined constant
  5429 on the left-hand side of an equation, and then performs
  5430 simplification.  Rewriting is done using rules declared with the
  5431 "fixrec_simp" attribute.  The "fixrec_simp" method is intended as a
  5432 replacement for "fixpat"; see src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples.
  5433 
  5434 * The pattern-match compiler in 'fixrec' can now handle constructors
  5435 with HOL function types.  Pattern-match combinators for the Pair
  5436 constructor are pre-configured.
  5437 
  5438 * The 'fixrec' package now produces better fixed-point induction rules
  5439 for mutually-recursive definitions:  Induction rules have conclusions
  5440 of the form "P foo bar" instead of "P <foo, bar>".
  5441 
  5442 * The constant "sq_le" (with infix syntax "<<" or "\<sqsubseteq>") has
  5443 been renamed to "below".  The name "below" now replaces "less" in many
  5444 theorem names.  (Legacy theorem names using "less" are still supported
  5445 as well.)
  5446 
  5447 * The 'fixrec' package now supports "bottom patterns".  Bottom
  5448 patterns can be used to generate strictness rules, or to make
  5449 functions more strict (much like the bang-patterns supported by the
  5450 Glasgow Haskell Compiler).  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  5451 examples.
  5452 
  5453 
  5454 *** ML ***
  5455 
  5456 * Support for Poly/ML 5.3.0, with improved reporting of compiler
  5457 errors and run-time exceptions, including detailed source positions.
  5458 
  5459 * Structure Name_Space (formerly NameSpace) now manages uniquely
  5460 identified entries, with some additional information such as source
  5461 position, logical grouping etc.
  5462 
  5463 * Theory and context data is now introduced by the simplified and
  5464 modernized functors Theory_Data, Proof_Data, Generic_Data.  Data needs
  5465 to be pure, but the old TheoryDataFun for mutable data (with explicit
  5466 copy operation) is still available for some time.
  5467 
  5468 * Structure Synchronized (cf. src/Pure/Concurrent/synchronized.ML)
  5469 provides a high-level programming interface to synchronized state
  5470 variables with atomic update.  This works via pure function
  5471 application within a critical section -- its runtime should be as
  5472 short as possible; beware of deadlocks if critical code is nested,
  5473 either directly or indirectly via other synchronized variables!
  5474 
  5475 * Structure Unsynchronized (cf. src/Pure/ML-Systems/unsynchronized.ML)
  5476 wraps raw ML references, explicitly indicating their non-thread-safe
  5477 behaviour.  The Isar toplevel keeps this structure open, to
  5478 accommodate Proof General as well as quick and dirty interactive
  5479 experiments with references.
  5480 
  5481 * PARALLEL_CHOICE and PARALLEL_GOALS provide basic support for
  5482 parallel tactical reasoning.
  5483 
  5484 * Tacticals Subgoal.FOCUS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PREMS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PARAMS
  5485 are similar to SUBPROOF, but are slightly more flexible: only the
  5486 specified parts of the subgoal are imported into the context, and the
  5487 body tactic may introduce new subgoals and schematic variables.
  5488 
  5489 * Old tactical METAHYPS, which does not observe the proof context, has
  5490 been renamed to Old_Goals.METAHYPS and awaits deletion.  Use SUBPROOF
  5491 or Subgoal.FOCUS etc.
  5492 
  5493 * Renamed functor TableFun to Table, and GraphFun to Graph.  (Since
  5494 functors have their own ML name space there is no point to mark them
  5495 separately.)  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5496 
  5497 * Renamed NamedThmsFun to Named_Thms.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5498 
  5499 * Renamed several structures FooBar to Foo_Bar.  Occasional,
  5500 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5501 
  5502 * Operations of structure Skip_Proof no longer require quick_and_dirty
  5503 mode, which avoids critical setmp.
  5504 
  5505 * Eliminated old Attrib.add_attributes, Method.add_methods and related
  5506 combinators for "args".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use simplified
  5507 Attrib/Method.setup introduced in Isabelle2009.
  5508 
  5509 * Proper context for simpset_of, claset_of, clasimpset_of.  May fall
  5510 back on global_simpset_of, global_claset_of, global_clasimpset_of as
  5511 last resort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5512 
  5513 * Display.pretty_thm now requires a proper context (cf. former
  5514 ProofContext.pretty_thm).  May fall back on Display.pretty_thm_global
  5515 or even Display.pretty_thm_without_context as last resort.
  5516 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5517 
  5518 * Discontinued Display.pretty_ctyp/cterm etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5519 Syntax.pretty_typ/term directly, preferably with proper context
  5520 instead of global theory.
  5521 
  5522 
  5523 *** System ***
  5524 
  5525 * Further fine tuning of parallel proof checking, scales up to 8 cores
  5526 (max. speedup factor 5.0).  See also Goal.parallel_proofs in ML and
  5527 usedir option -q.
  5528 
  5529 * Support for additional "Isabelle components" via etc/components, see
  5530 also the system manual.
  5531 
  5532 * The isabelle makeall tool now operates on all components with
  5533 IsaMakefile, not just hardwired "logics".
  5534 
  5535 * Removed "compress" option from isabelle-process and isabelle usedir;
  5536 this is always enabled.
  5537 
  5538 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 4.x versions.
  5539 
  5540 * Isabelle tool "wwwfind" provides web interface for 'find_theorems'
  5541 on a given logic image.  This requires the lighttpd webserver and is
  5542 currently supported on Linux only.
  5543 
  5544 
  5545 
  5546 New in Isabelle2009 (April 2009)
  5547 --------------------------------
  5548 
  5549 *** General ***
  5550 
  5551 * Simplified main Isabelle executables, with less surprises on
  5552 case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  5553 
  5554   - The main Isabelle tool wrapper is now called "isabelle" instead of
  5555     "isatool."
  5556 
  5557   - The former "isabelle" alias for "isabelle-process" has been
  5558     removed (should rarely occur to regular users).
  5559 
  5560   - The former "isabelle-interface" and its alias "Isabelle" have been
  5561     removed (interfaces are now regular Isabelle tools).
  5562 
  5563 Within scripts and make files, the Isabelle environment variables
  5564 ISABELLE_TOOL and ISABELLE_PROCESS replace old ISATOOL and ISABELLE,
  5565 respectively.  (The latter are still available as legacy feature.)
  5566 
  5567 The old isabelle-interface wrapper could react in confusing ways if
  5568 the interface was uninstalled or changed otherwise.  Individual
  5569 interface tool configuration is now more explicit, see also the
  5570 Isabelle system manual.  In particular, Proof General is now available
  5571 via "isabelle emacs".
  5572 
  5573 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt derivative scripts.  Users may need to
  5574 purge installed copies of Isabelle executables and re-run "isabelle
  5575 install -p ...", or use symlinks.
  5576 
  5577 * The default for ISABELLE_HOME_USER is now ~/.isabelle instead of the
  5578 old ~/isabelle, which was slightly non-standard and apt to cause
  5579 surprises on case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  5580 
  5581 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to move existing ~/isabelle/etc,
  5582 ~/isabelle/heaps, ~/isabelle/browser_info to the new place.  Special
  5583 care is required when using older releases of Isabelle.  Note that
  5584 ISABELLE_HOME_USER can be changed in Isabelle/etc/settings of any
  5585 Isabelle distribution, in order to use the new ~/.isabelle uniformly.
  5586 
  5587 * Proofs of fully specified statements are run in parallel on
  5588 multi-core systems.  A speedup factor of 2.5 to 3.2 can be expected on
  5589 a regular 4-core machine, if the initial heap space is made reasonably
  5590 large (cf. Poly/ML option -H).  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  5591 
  5592 * The main reference manuals ("isar-ref", "implementation", and
  5593 "system") have been updated and extended.  Formally checked references
  5594 as hyperlinks are now available uniformly.
  5595 
  5596 
  5597 *** Pure ***
  5598 
  5599 * Complete re-implementation of locales.  INCOMPATIBILITY in several
  5600 respects.  The most important changes are listed below.  See the
  5601 Tutorial on Locales ("locales" manual) for details.
  5602 
  5603 - In locale expressions, instantiation replaces renaming.  Parameters
  5604 must be declared in a for clause.  To aid compatibility with previous
  5605 parameter inheritance, in locale declarations, parameters that are not
  5606 'touched' (instantiation position "_" or omitted) are implicitly added
  5607 with their syntax at the beginning of the for clause.
  5608 
  5609 - Syntax from abbreviations and definitions in locales is available in
  5610 locale expressions and context elements.  The latter is particularly
  5611 useful in locale declarations.
  5612 
  5613 - More flexible mechanisms to qualify names generated by locale
  5614 expressions.  Qualifiers (prefixes) may be specified in locale
  5615 expressions, and can be marked as mandatory (syntax: "name!:") or
  5616 optional (syntax "name?:").  The default depends for plain "name:"
  5617 depends on the situation where a locale expression is used: in
  5618 commands 'locale' and 'sublocale' prefixes are optional, in
  5619 'interpretation' and 'interpret' prefixes are mandatory.  The old
  5620 implicit qualifiers derived from the parameter names of a locale are
  5621 no longer generated.
  5622 
  5623 - Command "sublocale l < e" replaces "interpretation l < e".  The
  5624 instantiation clause in "interpretation" and "interpret" (square
  5625 brackets) is no longer available.  Use locale expressions.
  5626 
  5627 - When converting proof scripts, mandatory qualifiers in
  5628 'interpretation' and 'interpret' should be retained by default, even
  5629 if this is an INCOMPATIBILITY compared to former behavior.  In the
  5630 worst case, use the "name?:" form for non-mandatory ones.  Qualifiers
  5631 in locale expressions range over a single locale instance only.
  5632 
  5633 - Dropped locale element "includes".  This is a major INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5634 In existing theorem specifications replace the includes element by the
  5635 respective context elements of the included locale, omitting those
  5636 that are already present in the theorem specification.  Multiple
  5637 assume elements of a locale should be replaced by a single one
  5638 involving the locale predicate.  In the proof body, declarations (most
  5639 notably theorems) may be regained by interpreting the respective
  5640 locales in the proof context as required (command "interpret").
  5641 
  5642 If using "includes" in replacement of a target solely because the
  5643 parameter types in the theorem are not as general as in the target,
  5644 consider declaring a new locale with additional type constraints on
  5645 the parameters (context element "constrains").
  5646 
  5647 - Discontinued "locale (open)".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5648 
  5649 - Locale interpretation commands no longer attempt to simplify goal.
  5650 INCOMPATIBILITY: in rare situations the generated goal differs.  Use
  5651 methods intro_locales and unfold_locales to clarify.
  5652 
  5653 - Locale interpretation commands no longer accept interpretation
  5654 attributes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5655 
  5656 * Class declaration: so-called "base sort" must not be given in import
  5657 list any longer, but is inferred from the specification.  Particularly
  5658 in HOL, write
  5659 
  5660     class foo = ...
  5661 
  5662 instead of
  5663 
  5664     class foo = type + ...
  5665 
  5666 * Class target: global versions of theorems stemming do not carry a
  5667 parameter prefix any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5668 
  5669 * Class 'instance' command no longer accepts attached definitions.
  5670 INCOMPATIBILITY, use proper 'instantiation' target instead.
  5671 
  5672 * Recovered hiding of consts, which was accidentally broken in
  5673 Isabelle2007.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, ``hide const c'' really
  5674 makes c inaccessible; consider using ``hide (open) const c'' instead.
  5675 
  5676 * Slightly more coherent Pure syntax, with updated documentation in
  5677 isar-ref manual.  Removed locales meta_term_syntax and
  5678 meta_conjunction_syntax: TERM and &&& (formerly &&) are now permanent,
  5679 INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations.  Note that &&& should not be used
  5680 directly in regular applications.
  5681 
  5682 * There is a new syntactic category "float_const" for signed decimal
  5683 fractions (e.g. 123.45 or -123.45).
  5684 
  5685 * Removed exotic 'token_translation' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML
  5686 interface with 'setup' command instead.
  5687 
  5688 * Command 'local_setup' is similar to 'setup', but operates on a local
  5689 theory context.
  5690 
  5691 * The 'axiomatization' command now only works within a global theory
  5692 context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5693 
  5694 * Goal-directed proof now enforces strict proof irrelevance wrt. sort
  5695 hypotheses.  Sorts required in the course of reasoning need to be
  5696 covered by the constraints in the initial statement, completed by the
  5697 type instance information of the background theory.  Non-trivial sort
  5698 hypotheses, which rarely occur in practice, may be specified via
  5699 vacuous propositions of the form SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::c).  For example:
  5700 
  5701   lemma assumes "SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::empty)" shows False ...
  5702 
  5703 The result contains an implicit sort hypotheses as before --
  5704 SORT_CONSTRAINT premises are eliminated as part of the canonical rule
  5705 normalization.
  5706 
  5707 * Generalized Isar history, with support for linear undo, direct state
  5708 addressing etc.
  5709 
  5710 * Changed defaults for unify configuration options:
  5711 
  5712   unify_trace_bound = 50 (formerly 25)
  5713   unify_search_bound = 60 (formerly 30)
  5714 
  5715 * Different bookkeeping for code equations (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  5716 
  5717   a) On theory merge, the last set of code equations for a particular
  5718      constant is taken (in accordance with the policy applied by other
  5719      parts of the code generator framework).
  5720 
  5721   b) Code equations stemming from explicit declarations (e.g. code
  5722      attribute) gain priority over default code equations stemming
  5723      from definition, primrec, fun etc.
  5724 
  5725 * Keyword 'code_exception' now named 'code_abort'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5726 
  5727 * Unified theorem tables for both code generators.  Thus [code
  5728 func] has disappeared and only [code] remains.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5729 
  5730 * Command 'find_consts' searches for constants based on type and name
  5731 patterns, e.g.
  5732 
  5733     find_consts "_ => bool"
  5734 
  5735 By default, matching is against subtypes, but it may be restricted to
  5736 the whole type.  Searching by name is possible.  Multiple queries are
  5737 conjunctive and queries may be negated by prefixing them with a
  5738 hyphen:
  5739 
  5740     find_consts strict: "_ => bool" name: "Int" -"int => int"
  5741 
  5742 * New 'find_theorems' criterion "solves" matches theorems that
  5743 directly solve the current goal (modulo higher-order unification).
  5744 
  5745 * Auto solve feature for main theorem statements: whenever a new goal
  5746 is stated, "find_theorems solves" is called; any theorems that could
  5747 solve the lemma directly are listed as part of the goal state.
  5748 Cf. associated options in Proof General Isabelle settings menu,
  5749 enabled by default, with reasonable timeout for pathological cases of
  5750 higher-order unification.
  5751 
  5752 
  5753 *** Document preparation ***
  5754 
  5755 * Antiquotation @{lemma} now imitates a regular terminal proof,
  5756 demanding keyword 'by' and supporting the full method expression
  5757 syntax just like the Isar command 'by'.
  5758 
  5759 
  5760 *** HOL ***
  5761 
  5762 * Integrated main parts of former image HOL-Complex with HOL.  Entry
  5763 points Main and Complex_Main remain as before.
  5764 
  5765 * Logic image HOL-Plain provides a minimal HOL with the most important
  5766 tools available (inductive, datatype, primrec, ...).  This facilitates
  5767 experimentation and tool development.  Note that user applications
  5768 (and library theories) should never refer to anything below theory
  5769 Main, as before.
  5770 
  5771 * Logic image HOL-Main stops at theory Main, and thus facilitates
  5772 experimentation due to shorter build times.
  5773 
  5774 * Logic image HOL-NSA contains theories of nonstandard analysis which
  5775 were previously part of former HOL-Complex.  Entry point Hyperreal
  5776 remains valid, but theories formerly using Complex_Main should now use
  5777 new entry point Hypercomplex.
  5778 
  5779 * Generic ATP manager for Sledgehammer, based on ML threads instead of
  5780 Posix processes.  Avoids potentially expensive forking of the ML
  5781 process.  New thread-based implementation also works on non-Unix
  5782 platforms (Cygwin).  Provers are no longer hardwired, but defined
  5783 within the theory via plain ML wrapper functions.  Basic Sledgehammer
  5784 commands are covered in the isar-ref manual.
  5785 
  5786 * Wrapper scripts for remote SystemOnTPTP service allows to use
  5787 sledgehammer without local ATP installation (Vampire etc.). Other
  5788 provers may be included via suitable ML wrappers, see also
  5789 src/HOL/ATP_Linkup.thy.
  5790 
  5791 * ATP selection (E/Vampire/Spass) is now via Proof General's settings
  5792 menu.
  5793 
  5794 * The metis method no longer fails because the theorem is too trivial
  5795 (contains the empty clause).
  5796 
  5797 * The metis method now fails in the usual manner, rather than raising
  5798 an exception, if it determines that it cannot prove the theorem.
  5799 
  5800 * Method "coherent" implements a prover for coherent logic (see also
  5801 src/Tools/coherent.ML).
  5802 
  5803 * Constants "undefined" and "default" replace "arbitrary".  Usually
  5804 "undefined" is the right choice to replace "arbitrary", though
  5805 logically there is no difference.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5806 
  5807 * Command "value" now integrates different evaluation mechanisms.  The
  5808 result of the first successful evaluation mechanism is printed.  In
  5809 square brackets a particular named evaluation mechanisms may be
  5810 specified (currently, [SML], [code] or [nbe]).  See further
  5811 src/HOL/ex/Eval_Examples.thy.
  5812 
  5813 * Normalization by evaluation now allows non-leftlinear equations.
  5814 Declare with attribute [code nbe].
  5815 
  5816 * Methods "case_tac" and "induct_tac" now refer to the very same rules
  5817 as the structured Isar versions "cases" and "induct", cf. the
  5818 corresponding "cases" and "induct" attributes.  Mutual induction rules
  5819 are now presented as a list of individual projections
  5820 (e.g. foo_bar.inducts for types foo and bar); the old format with
  5821 explicit HOL conjunction is no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  5822 rare situations a different rule is selected --- notably nested tuple
  5823 elimination instead of former prod.exhaust: use explicit (case_tac t
  5824 rule: prod.exhaust) here.
  5825 
  5826 * Attributes "cases", "induct", "coinduct" support "del" option.
  5827 
  5828 * Removed fact "case_split_thm", which duplicates "case_split".
  5829 
  5830 * The option datatype has been moved to a new theory Option.  Renamed
  5831 option_map to Option.map, and o2s to Option.set, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5832 
  5833 * New predicate "strict_mono" classifies strict functions on partial
  5834 orders.  With strict functions on linear orders, reasoning about
  5835 (in)equalities is facilitated by theorems "strict_mono_eq",
  5836 "strict_mono_less_eq" and "strict_mono_less".
  5837 
  5838 * Some set operations are now proper qualified constants with
  5839 authentic syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5840 
  5841     op Int ~>   Set.Int
  5842     op Un ~>    Set.Un
  5843     INTER ~>    Set.INTER
  5844     UNION ~>    Set.UNION
  5845     Inter ~>    Set.Inter
  5846     Union ~>    Set.Union
  5847     {} ~>       Set.empty
  5848     UNIV ~>     Set.UNIV
  5849 
  5850 * Class complete_lattice with operations Inf, Sup, INFI, SUPR now in
  5851 theory Set.
  5852 
  5853 * Auxiliary class "itself" has disappeared -- classes without any
  5854 parameter are treated as expected by the 'class' command.
  5855 
  5856 * Leibnitz's Series for Pi and the arcus tangens and logarithm series.
  5857 
  5858 * Common decision procedures (Cooper, MIR, Ferrack, Approximation,
  5859 Dense_Linear_Order) are now in directory HOL/Decision_Procs.
  5860 
  5861 * Theory src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation provides the new proof
  5862 method "approximation".  It proves formulas on real values by using
  5863 interval arithmetic.  In the formulas are also the transcendental
  5864 functions sin, cos, tan, atan, ln, exp and the constant pi are
  5865 allowed. For examples see
  5866 src/HOL/Descision_Procs/ex/Approximation_Ex.thy.
  5867 
  5868 * Theory "Reflection" now resides in HOL/Library.
  5869 
  5870 * Entry point to Word library now simply named "Word".
  5871 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5872 
  5873 * Made source layout more coherent with logical distribution
  5874 structure:

  5927 
  5928 * If methods "eval" and "evaluation" encounter a structured proof
  5929 state with !!/==>, only the conclusion is evaluated to True (if
  5930 possible), avoiding strange error messages.
  5931 
  5932 * Method "sizechange" automates termination proofs using (a
  5933 modification of) the size-change principle.  Requires SAT solver.  See
  5934 src/HOL/ex/Termination.thy for examples.
  5935 
  5936 * Simplifier: simproc for let expressions now unfolds if bound
  5937 variable occurs at most once in let expression body.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5938 
  5939 * Method "arith": Linear arithmetic now ignores all inequalities when
  5940 fast_arith_neq_limit is exceeded, instead of giving up entirely.
  5941 
  5942 * New attribute "arith" for facts that should always be used
  5943 automatically by arithmetic. It is intended to be used locally in
  5944 proofs, e.g.
  5945 
  5946   assumes [arith]: "x > 0"
  5947 
  5948 Global usage is discouraged because of possible performance impact.
  5949 
  5950 * New classes "top" and "bot" with corresponding operations "top" and
  5951 "bot" in theory Orderings; instantiation of class "complete_lattice"
  5952 requires instantiation of classes "top" and "bot".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5953 
  5954 * Changed definition lemma "less_fun_def" in order to provide an
  5955 instance for preorders on functions; use lemma "less_le" instead.
  5956 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5957 
  5958 * Theory Orderings: class "wellorder" moved here, with explicit
  5959 induction rule "less_induct" as assumption.  For instantiation of
  5960 "wellorder" by means of predicate "wf", use rule wf_wellorderI.
  5961 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5962 
  5963 * Theory Orderings: added class "preorder" as superclass of "order".
  5964 INCOMPATIBILITY: Instantiation proofs for order, linorder
  5965 etc. slightly changed.  Some theorems named order_class.* now named
  5966 preorder_class.*.
  5967 
  5968 * Theory Relation: renamed "refl" to "refl_on", "reflexive" to "refl,
  5969 "diag" to "Id_on".
  5970 
  5971 * Theory Finite_Set: added a new fold combinator of type
  5972 
  5973   ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  5974 
  5975 Occasionally this is more convenient than the old fold combinator
  5976 which is now defined in terms of the new one and renamed to
  5977 fold_image.
  5978 
  5979 * Theories Ring_and_Field and OrderedGroup: The lemmas "group_simps"
  5980 and "ring_simps" have been replaced by "algebra_simps" (which can be
  5981 extended with further lemmas!).  At the moment both still exist but
  5982 the former will disappear at some point.
  5983 
  5984 * Theory Power: Lemma power_Suc is now declared as a simp rule in
  5985 class recpower.  Type-specific simp rules for various recpower types
  5986 have been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, rename old lemmas as follows:
  5987 
  5988 rat_power_0    -> power_0
  5989 rat_power_Suc  -> power_Suc
  5990 realpow_0      -> power_0
  5991 realpow_Suc    -> power_Suc
  5992 complexpow_0   -> power_0
  5993 complexpow_Suc -> power_Suc
  5994 power_poly_0   -> power_0
  5995 power_poly_Suc -> power_Suc
  5996 
  5997 * Theories Ring_and_Field and Divides: Definition of "op dvd" has been
  5998 moved to separate class dvd in Ring_and_Field; a couple of lemmas on
  5999 dvd has been generalized to class comm_semiring_1.  Likewise a bunch
  6000 of lemmas from Divides has been generalized from nat to class
  6001 semiring_div.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  This involves the following theorem
  6002 renames resulting from duplicate elimination:
  6003 
  6004     dvd_def_mod ~>          dvd_eq_mod_eq_0
  6005     zero_dvd_iff ~>         dvd_0_left_iff
  6006     dvd_0 ~>                dvd_0_right
  6007     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_DIV ~> div_by_0
  6008     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_MOD ~> mod_by_0
  6009     mult_div ~>             div_mult_self2_is_id
  6010     mult_mod ~>             mod_mult_self2_is_0
  6011 
  6012 * Theory IntDiv: removed many lemmas that are instances of class-based
  6013 generalizations (from Divides and Ring_and_Field).  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  6014 rename old lemmas as follows:
  6015 
  6016 dvd_diff               -> nat_dvd_diff
  6017 dvd_zminus_iff         -> dvd_minus_iff

  6021 mod_mult_distrib_mod   -> mod_mult_eq
  6022 nat_mod_add_left_eq    -> mod_add_left_eq
  6023 nat_mod_add_right_eq   -> mod_add_right_eq
  6024 nat_mod_div_trivial    -> mod_div_trivial
  6025 nat_mod_mod_trivial    -> mod_mod_trivial
  6026 zdiv_zadd_self1        -> div_add_self1
  6027 zdiv_zadd_self2        -> div_add_self2
  6028 zdiv_zmult_self1       -> div_mult_self2_is_id
  6029 zdiv_zmult_self2       -> div_mult_self1_is_id
  6030 zdvd_triv_left         -> dvd_triv_left
  6031 zdvd_triv_right        -> dvd_triv_right
  6032 zdvd_zmult_cancel_disj -> dvd_mult_cancel_left
  6033 zmod_eq0_zdvd_iff      -> dvd_eq_mod_eq_0[symmetric]
  6034 zmod_zadd_left_eq      -> mod_add_left_eq
  6035 zmod_zadd_right_eq     -> mod_add_right_eq
  6036 zmod_zadd_self1        -> mod_add_self1
  6037 zmod_zadd_self2        -> mod_add_self2
  6038 zmod_zadd1_eq          -> mod_add_eq
  6039 zmod_zdiff1_eq         -> mod_diff_eq
  6040 zmod_zdvd_zmod         -> mod_mod_cancel
  6041 zmod_zmod_cancel       -> mod_mod_cancel
  6042 zmod_zmult_self1       -> mod_mult_self2_is_0
  6043 zmod_zmult_self2       -> mod_mult_self1_is_0
  6044 zmod_1                 -> mod_by_1
  6045 zdiv_1                 -> div_by_1
  6046 zdvd_abs1              -> abs_dvd_iff
  6047 zdvd_abs2              -> dvd_abs_iff
  6048 zdvd_refl              -> dvd_refl
  6049 zdvd_trans             -> dvd_trans
  6050 zdvd_zadd              -> dvd_add
  6051 zdvd_zdiff             -> dvd_diff
  6052 zdvd_zminus_iff        -> dvd_minus_iff
  6053 zdvd_zminus2_iff       -> minus_dvd_iff
  6054 zdvd_zmultD            -> dvd_mult_right
  6055 zdvd_zmultD2           -> dvd_mult_left
  6056 zdvd_zmult_mono        -> mult_dvd_mono
  6057 zdvd_0_right           -> dvd_0_right
  6058 zdvd_0_left            -> dvd_0_left_iff
  6059 zdvd_1_left            -> one_dvd
  6060 zminus_dvd_iff         -> minus_dvd_iff
  6061 
  6062 * Theory Rational: 'Fract k 0' now equals '0'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6063 
  6064 * The real numbers offer decimal input syntax: 12.34 is translated
  6065 into 1234/10^2. This translation is not reversed upon output.
  6066 
  6067 * Theory Library/Polynomial defines an abstract type 'a poly of
  6068 univariate polynomials with coefficients of type 'a.  In addition to
  6069 the standard ring operations, it also supports div and mod.  Code
  6070 generation is also supported, using list-style constructors.
  6071 
  6072 * Theory Library/Inner_Product defines a class of real_inner for real
  6073 inner product spaces, with an overloaded operation inner :: 'a => 'a
  6074 => real.  Class real_inner is a subclass of real_normed_vector from
  6075 theory RealVector.
  6076 
  6077 * Theory Library/Product_Vector provides instances for the product
  6078 type 'a * 'b of several classes from RealVector and Inner_Product.
  6079 Definitions of addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, norms,
  6080 and inner products are included.
  6081 
  6082 * Theory Library/Bit defines the field "bit" of integers modulo 2.  In
  6083 addition to the field operations, numerals and case syntax are also
  6084 supported.
  6085 
  6086 * Theory Library/Diagonalize provides constructive version of Cantor's
  6087 first diagonalization argument.
  6088 
  6089 * Theory Library/GCD: Curried operations gcd, lcm (for nat) and zgcd,
  6090 zlcm (for int); carried together from various gcd/lcm developements in
  6091 the HOL Distribution.  Constants zgcd and zlcm replace former igcd and
  6092 ilcm; corresponding theorems renamed accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  6093 may recover tupled syntax as follows:
  6094 
  6095     hide (open) const gcd
  6096     abbreviation gcd where
  6097       "gcd == (%(a, b). GCD.gcd a b)"
  6098     notation (output)
  6099       GCD.gcd ("gcd '(_, _')")
  6100 
  6101 The same works for lcm, zgcd, zlcm.
  6102 
  6103 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity: added addition, numeral syntax and more
  6104 instantiations for algebraic structures.  Removed some duplicate
  6105 theorems.  Changes in simp rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6106 
  6107 * ML antiquotation @{code} takes a constant as argument and generates
  6108 corresponding code in background and inserts name of the corresponding
  6109 resulting ML value/function/datatype constructor binding in place.
  6110 All occurrences of @{code} with a single ML block are generated
  6111 simultaneously.  Provides a generic and safe interface for
  6112 instrumentalizing code generation.  See
  6113 src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Ferrack.thy for a more ambitious application.
  6114 In future you ought to refrain from ad-hoc compiling generated SML
  6115 code on the ML toplevel.  Note that (for technical reasons) @{code}
  6116 cannot refer to constants for which user-defined serializations are
  6117 set.  Refer to the corresponding ML counterpart directly in that
  6118 cases.
  6119 
  6120 * Command 'rep_datatype': instead of theorem names the command now
  6121 takes a list of terms denoting the constructors of the type to be
  6122 represented as datatype.  The characteristic theorems have to be
  6123 proven.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Also observe that the following theorems
  6124 have disappeared in favour of existing ones:
  6125 
  6126     unit_induct                 ~> unit.induct
  6127     prod_induct                 ~> prod.induct
  6128     sum_induct                  ~> sum.induct
  6129     Suc_Suc_eq                  ~> nat.inject
  6130     Suc_not_Zero Zero_not_Suc   ~> nat.distinct
  6131 
  6132 
  6133 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  6134 
  6135 * New locales for orders and lattices where the equivalence relation
  6136 is not restricted to equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY: all order and lattice
  6137 locales use a record structure with field eq for the equivalence.
  6138 
  6139 * New theory of factorial domains.
  6140 
  6141 * Units_l_inv and Units_r_inv are now simp rules by default.
  6142 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Simplifier proof that require deletion of l_inv
  6143 and/or r_inv will now also require deletion of these lemmas.
  6144 
  6145 * Renamed the following theorems, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6146 
  6147 UpperD ~> Upper_memD
  6148 LowerD ~> Lower_memD
  6149 least_carrier ~> least_closed
  6150 greatest_carrier ~> greatest_closed
  6151 greatest_Lower_above ~> greatest_Lower_below
  6152 one_zero ~> carrier_one_zero
  6153 one_not_zero ~> carrier_one_not_zero  (collision with assumption)
  6154 
  6155 
  6156 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  6157 
  6158 * Nominal datatypes can now contain type-variables.
  6159 
  6160 * Commands 'nominal_inductive' and 'equivariance' work with local
  6161 theory targets.
  6162 
  6163 * Nominal primrec can now works with local theory targets and its
  6164 specification syntax now conforms to the general format as seen in
  6165 'inductive' etc.
  6166 
  6167 * Method "perm_simp" honours the standard simplifier attributes
  6168 (no_asm), (no_asm_use) etc.
  6169 
  6170 * The new predicate #* is defined like freshness, except that on the
  6171 left hand side can be a set or list of atoms.
  6172 
  6173 * Experimental command 'nominal_inductive2' derives strong induction
  6174 principles for inductive definitions.  In contrast to
  6175 'nominal_inductive', which can only deal with a fixed number of
  6176 binders, it can deal with arbitrary expressions standing for sets of
  6177 atoms to be avoided.  The only inductive definition we have at the
  6178 moment that needs this generalisation is the typing rule for Lets in
  6179 the algorithm W:
  6180 
  6181  Gamma |- t1 : T1   (x,close Gamma T1)::Gamma |- t2 : T2   x#Gamma
  6182  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  6183          Gamma |- Let x be t1 in t2 : T2
  6184 
  6185 In this rule one wants to avoid all the binders that are introduced by
  6186 "close Gamma T1".  We are looking for other examples where this
  6187 feature might be useful.  Please let us know.
  6188 
  6189 
  6190 *** HOLCF ***
  6191 
  6192 * Reimplemented the simplification procedure for proving continuity
  6193 subgoals.  The new simproc is extensible; users can declare additional
  6194 continuity introduction rules with the attribute [cont2cont].
  6195 
  6196 * The continuity simproc now uses a different introduction rule for
  6197 solving continuity subgoals on terms with lambda abstractions.  In
  6198 some rare cases the new simproc may fail to solve subgoals that the
  6199 old one could solve, and "simp add: cont2cont_LAM" may be necessary.
  6200 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6201 
  6202 * Command 'fixrec': specification syntax now conforms to the general
  6203 format as seen in 'inductive' etc.  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  6204 examples.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6205 
  6206 
  6207 *** ZF ***
  6208 
  6209 * Proof of Zorn's Lemma for partial orders.
  6210 
  6211 
  6212 *** ML ***
  6213 
  6214 * Multithreading for Poly/ML 5.1/5.2 is no longer supported, only for
  6215 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.  Important note: the TimeLimit facility
  6216 depends on multithreading, so timouts will not work before Poly/ML
  6217 5.2.1!
  6218 
  6219 * High-level support for concurrent ML programming, see
  6220 src/Pure/Cuncurrent.  The data-oriented model of "future values" is
  6221 particularly convenient to organize independent functional
  6222 computations.  The concept of "synchronized variables" provides a
  6223 higher-order interface for components with shared state, avoiding the
  6224 delicate details of mutexes and condition variables.  (Requires
  6225 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  6226 
  6227 * ML bindings produced via Isar commands are stored within the Isar
  6228 context (theory or proof).  Consequently, commands like 'use' and 'ML'
  6229 become thread-safe and work with undo as expected (concerning
  6230 top-level bindings, not side-effects on global references).
  6231 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to provide proper Isar context when invoking the
  6232 compiler at runtime; really global bindings need to be given outside a
  6233 theory.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  6234 
  6235 * Command 'ML_prf' is analogous to 'ML' but works within a proof
  6236 context.  Top-level ML bindings are stored within the proof context in
  6237 a purely sequential fashion, disregarding the nested proof structure.
  6238 ML bindings introduced by 'ML_prf' are discarded at the end of the
  6239 proof.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  6240 
  6241 * Simplified ML attribute and method setup, cf. functions Attrib.setup
  6242 and Method.setup, as well as Isar commands 'attribute_setup' and
  6243 'method_setup'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for 'method_setup', need to simplify
  6244 existing code accordingly, or use plain 'setup' together with old
  6245 Method.add_method.
  6246 
  6247 * Simplified ML oracle interface Thm.add_oracle promotes 'a -> cterm
  6248 to 'a -> thm, while results are always tagged with an authentic oracle
  6249 name.  The Isar command 'oracle' is now polymorphic, no argument type
  6250 is specified.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify existing oracle code
  6251 accordingly.  Note that extra performance may be gained by producing
  6252 the cterm carefully, avoiding slow Thm.cterm_of.
  6253 
  6254 * Simplified interface for defining document antiquotations via
  6255 ThyOutput.antiquotation, ThyOutput.output, and optionally
  6256 ThyOutput.maybe_pretty_source.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify user
  6257 antiquotations accordingly, see src/Pure/Thy/thy_output.ML for common
  6258 examples.
  6259 
  6260 * More systematic treatment of long names, abstract name bindings, and
  6261 name space operations.  Basic operations on qualified names have been
  6262 move from structure NameSpace to Long_Name, e.g. Long_Name.base_name,
  6263 Long_Name.append.  Old type bstring has been mostly replaced by
  6264 abstract type binding (see structure Binding), which supports precise
  6265 qualification by packages and local theory targets, as well as proper
  6266 tracking of source positions.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to wrap old
  6267 bstring values into Binding.name, or better pass through abstract
  6268 bindings everywhere.  See further src/Pure/General/long_name.ML,
  6269 src/Pure/General/binding.ML and src/Pure/General/name_space.ML
  6270 
  6271 * Result facts (from PureThy.note_thms, ProofContext.note_thms,
  6272 LocalTheory.note etc.) now refer to the *full* internal name, not the
  6273 bstring as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY, not detected by ML type-checking!
  6274 
  6275 * Disposed old type and term read functions (Sign.read_def_typ,
  6276 Sign.read_typ, Sign.read_def_terms, Sign.read_term,
  6277 Thm.read_def_cterms, Thm.read_cterm etc.).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should
  6278 use regular Syntax.read_typ, Syntax.read_term, Syntax.read_typ_global,
  6279 Syntax.read_term_global etc.; see also OldGoals.read_term as last
  6280 resort for legacy applications.
  6281 
  6282 * Disposed old declarations, tactics, tactic combinators that refer to
  6283 the simpset or claset of an implicit theory (such as Addsimps,
  6284 Simp_tac, SIMPSET).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should use @{simpset} etc. in
  6285 embedded ML text, or local_simpset_of with a proper context passed as
  6286 explicit runtime argument.
  6287 
  6288 * Rules and tactics that read instantiations (read_instantiate,
  6289 res_inst_tac, thin_tac, subgoal_tac etc.) now demand a proper proof
  6290 context, which is required for parsing and type-checking.  Moreover,
  6291 the variables are specified as plain indexnames, not string encodings
  6292 thereof.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6293 
  6294 * Generic Toplevel.add_hook interface allows to analyze the result of
  6295 transactions.  E.g. see src/Pure/ProofGeneral/proof_general_pgip.ML
  6296 for theorem dependency output of transactions resulting in a new
  6297 theory state.
  6298 
  6299 * ML antiquotations: block-structured compilation context indicated by
  6300 \<lbrace> ... \<rbrace>; additional antiquotation forms:
  6301 
  6302   @{binding name}                         - basic name binding
  6303   @{let ?pat = term}                      - term abbreviation (HO matching)
  6304   @{note name = fact}                     - fact abbreviation
  6305   @{thm fact}                             - singleton fact (with attributes)
  6306   @{thms fact}                            - general fact (with attributes)
  6307   @{lemma prop by method}                 - singleton goal
  6308   @{lemma prop by meth1 meth2}            - singleton goal
  6309   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by method}      - general goal
  6310   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by meth1 meth2} - general goal
  6311   @{lemma (open) ...}                     - open derivation
  6312 
  6313 
  6314 *** System ***
  6315 
  6316 * The Isabelle "emacs" tool provides a specific interface to invoke
  6317 Proof General / Emacs, with more explicit failure if that is not
  6318 installed (the old isabelle-interface script silently falls back on
  6319 isabelle-process).  The PROOFGENERAL_HOME setting determines the
  6320 installation location of the Proof General distribution.
  6321 
  6322 * Isabelle/lib/classes/Pure.jar provides basic support to integrate
  6323 the Isabelle process into a JVM/Scala application.  See
  6324 Isabelle/lib/jedit/plugin for a minimal example.  (The obsolete Java
  6325 process wrapper has been discontinued.)
  6326 
  6327 * Added homegrown Isabelle font with unicode layout, see lib/fonts.
  6328 
  6329 * Various status messages (with exact source position information) are
  6330 emitted, if proper markup print mode is enabled.  This allows
  6331 user-interface components to provide detailed feedback on internal
  6332 prover operations.
  6333 
  6334 
  6335 
  6336 New in Isabelle2008 (June 2008)
  6337 -------------------------------
  6338 
  6339 *** General ***
  6340 
  6341 * The Isabelle/Isar Reference Manual (isar-ref) has been reorganized
  6342 and updated, with formally checked references as hyperlinks.
  6343 
  6344 * Theory loader: use_thy (and similar operations) no longer set the
  6345 implicit ML context, which was occasionally hard to predict and in
  6346 conflict with concurrency.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML within Isar which
  6347 provides a proper context already.
  6348 
  6349 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  6350 file are no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, regular 'uses' and
  6351 'use' within a theory file will do the job.
  6352 
  6353 * Name space merge now observes canonical order, i.e. the second space
  6354 is inserted into the first one, while existing entries in the first
  6355 space take precedence.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, may try to
  6356 swap theory imports.
  6357 
  6358 * Syntax: symbol \<chi> is now considered a letter.  Potential
  6359 INCOMPATIBILITY in identifier syntax etc.
  6360 
  6361 * Outer syntax: string tokens no longer admit escaped white space,
  6362 which was an accidental (undocumented) feature.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  6363 white space without escapes.
  6364 
  6365 * Outer syntax: string tokens may contain arbitrary character codes
  6366 specified via 3 decimal digits (as in SML).  E.g. "foo\095bar" for
  6367 "foo_bar".
  6368 
  6369 
  6370 *** Pure ***
  6371 
  6372 * Context-dependent token translations.  Default setup reverts locally
  6373 fixed variables, and adds hilite markup for undeclared frees.
  6374 
  6375 * Unused theorems can be found using the new command 'unused_thms'.
  6376 There are three ways of invoking it:
  6377 
  6378 (1) unused_thms
  6379      Only finds unused theorems in the current theory.
  6380 
  6381 (2) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n -
  6382      Finds unused theorems in the current theory and all of its ancestors,
  6383      excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of their ancestors.
  6384 
  6385 (3) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n - thy'_1 ... thy'_m
  6386      Finds unused theorems in the theories thy'_1 ... thy'_m and all of
  6387      their ancestors, excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of
  6388      their ancestors.
  6389 
  6390 In order to increase the readability of the list produced by
  6391 unused_thms, theorems that have been created by a particular instance
  6392 of a theory command such as 'inductive' or 'function' are considered
  6393 to belong to the same "group", meaning that if at least one theorem in
  6394 this group is used, the other theorems in the same group are no longer
  6395 reported as unused.  Moreover, if all theorems in the group are
  6396 unused, only one theorem in the group is displayed.
  6397 
  6398 Note that proof objects have to be switched on in order for
  6399 unused_thms to work properly (i.e. !proofs must be >= 1, which is
  6400 usually the case when using Proof General with the default settings).
  6401 
  6402 * Authentic naming of facts disallows ad-hoc overwriting of previous
  6403 theorems within the same name space.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to remove
  6404 duplicate fact bindings, or even accidental fact duplications.  Note
  6405 that tools may maintain dynamically scoped facts systematically, using
  6406 PureThy.add_thms_dynamic.
  6407 
  6408 * Command 'hide' now allows to hide from "fact" name space as well.
  6409 
  6410 * Eliminated destructive theorem database, simpset, claset, and
  6411 clasimpset.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, really need to observe linear
  6412 update of theories within ML code.
  6413 
  6414 * Eliminated theory ProtoPure and CPure, leaving just one Pure theory.
  6415 INCOMPATIBILITY, object-logics depending on former Pure require
  6416 additional setup PureThy.old_appl_syntax_setup; object-logics
  6417 depending on former CPure need to refer to Pure.
  6418 
  6419 * Commands 'use' and 'ML' are now purely functional, operating on
  6420 theory/local_theory.  Removed former 'ML_setup' (on theory), use 'ML'
  6421 instead.  Added 'ML_val' as mere diagnostic replacement for 'ML'.
  6422 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6423 
  6424 * Command 'setup': discontinued implicit version with ML reference.
  6425 
  6426 * Instantiation target allows for simultaneous specification of class
  6427 instance operations together with an instantiation proof.
  6428 Type-checking phase allows to refer to class operations uniformly.
  6429 See src/HOL/Complex/Complex.thy for an Isar example and
  6430 src/HOL/Library/Eval.thy for an ML example.
  6431 
  6432 * Indexing of literal facts: be more serious about including only
  6433 facts from the visible specification/proof context, but not the
  6434 background context (locale etc.).  Affects `prop` notation and method
  6435 "fact".  INCOMPATIBILITY: need to name facts explicitly in rare
  6436 situations.
  6437 
  6438 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": removed obsolete/undocumented
  6439 "(open)" option, which used to expose internal bound variables to the
  6440 proof text.
  6441 
  6442 * Isar statements: removed obsolete case "rule_context".
  6443 INCOMPATIBILITY, better use explicit fixes/assumes.
  6444 
  6445 * Locale proofs: default proof step now includes 'unfold_locales';
  6446 hence 'proof' without argument may be used to unfold locale
  6447 predicates.
  6448 
  6449 
  6450 *** Document preparation ***
  6451 
  6452 * Simplified pdfsetup.sty: color/hyperref is used unconditionally for
  6453 both pdf and dvi (hyperlinks usually work in xdvi as well); removed
  6454 obsolete thumbpdf setup (contemporary PDF viewers do this on the
  6455 spot); renamed link color from "darkblue" to "linkcolor" (default
  6456 value unchanged, can be redefined via \definecolor); no longer sets
  6457 "a4paper" option (unnecessary or even intrusive).
  6458 
  6459 * Antiquotation @{lemma A method} proves proposition A by the given
  6460 method (either a method name or a method name plus (optional) method
  6461 arguments in parentheses) and prints A just like @{prop A}.
  6462 
  6463 
  6464 *** HOL ***
  6465 
  6466 * New primrec package.  Specification syntax conforms in style to
  6467 definition/function/....  No separate induction rule is provided.  The
  6468 "primrec" command distinguishes old-style and new-style specifications
  6469 by syntax.  The former primrec package is now named OldPrimrecPackage.
  6470 When adjusting theories, beware: constants stemming from new-style
  6471 primrec specifications have authentic syntax.
  6472 
  6473 * Metis prover is now an order of magnitude faster, and also works
  6474 with multithreading.
  6475 
  6476 * Metis: the maximum number of clauses that can be produced from a
  6477 theorem is now given by the attribute max_clauses.  Theorems that
  6478 exceed this number are ignored, with a warning printed.
  6479 
  6480 * Sledgehammer no longer produces structured proofs by default. To
  6481 enable, declare [[sledgehammer_full = true]].  Attributes
  6482 reconstruction_modulus, reconstruction_sorts renamed
  6483 sledgehammer_modulus, sledgehammer_sorts.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6484 
  6485 * Method "induct_scheme" derives user-specified induction rules
  6486 from well-founded induction and completeness of patterns. This factors
  6487 out some operations that are done internally by the function package
  6488 and makes them available separately.  See
  6489 src/HOL/ex/Induction_Scheme.thy for examples.
  6490 
  6491 * More flexible generation of measure functions for termination
  6492 proofs: Measure functions can be declared by proving a rule of the
  6493 form "is_measure f" and giving it the [measure_function] attribute.
  6494 The "is_measure" predicate is logically meaningless (always true), and
  6495 just guides the heuristic.  To find suitable measure functions, the
  6496 termination prover sets up the goal "is_measure ?f" of the appropriate
  6497 type and generates all solutions by Prolog-style backward proof using
  6498 the declared rules.
  6499 
  6500 This setup also deals with rules like
  6501 
  6502   "is_measure f ==> is_measure (list_size f)"
  6503 
  6504 which accommodates nested datatypes that recurse through lists.
  6505 Similar rules are predeclared for products and option types.
  6506 
  6507 * Turned the type of sets "'a set" into an abbreviation for "'a => bool"
  6508 
  6509   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  6510 
  6511   - Definitions of overloaded constants on sets have to be replaced by
  6512     definitions on => and bool.
  6513 
  6514   - Some definitions of overloaded operators on sets can now be proved
  6515     using the definitions of the operators on => and bool.  Therefore,
  6516     the following theorems have been renamed:
  6517 
  6518       subset_def   -> subset_eq
  6519       psubset_def  -> psubset_eq
  6520       set_diff_def -> set_diff_eq
  6521       Compl_def    -> Compl_eq
  6522       Sup_set_def  -> Sup_set_eq
  6523       Inf_set_def  -> Inf_set_eq
  6524       sup_set_def  -> sup_set_eq
  6525       inf_set_def  -> inf_set_eq
  6526 
  6527   - Due to the incompleteness of the HO unification algorithm, some
  6528     rules such as subst may require manual instantiation, if some of
  6529     the unknowns in the rule is a set.
  6530 
  6531   - Higher order unification and forward proofs:
  6532     The proof pattern
  6533 
  6534       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  6535       then have "EX S. P S" ..
  6536 
  6537     no longer works (due to the incompleteness of the HO unification
  6538     algorithm) and must be replaced by the pattern
  6539 
  6540       have "EX S. P S"
  6541       proof
  6542         show "P S" <...>
  6543       qed
  6544 
  6545   - Calculational reasoning with subst (or similar rules):
  6546     The proof pattern
  6547 
  6548       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  6549       also have "S = T" <...>
  6550       finally have "P T" .
  6551 
  6552     no longer works (for similar reasons as the previous example) and
  6553     must be replaced by something like
  6554 
  6555       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  6556       moreover have "S = T" <...>
  6557       ultimately have "P T" by simp
  6558 
  6559   - Tactics or packages written in ML code:
  6560     Code performing pattern matching on types via
  6561 
  6562       Type ("set", [T]) => ...
  6563 
  6564     must be rewritten. Moreover, functions like strip_type or
  6565     binder_types no longer return the right value when applied to a
  6566     type of the form
  6567 
  6568       T1 => ... => Tn => U => bool
  6569 
  6570     rather than
  6571 
  6572       T1 => ... => Tn => U set
  6573 
  6574 * Merged theories Wellfounded_Recursion, Accessible_Part and
  6575 Wellfounded_Relations to theory Wellfounded.
  6576 
  6577 * Explicit class "eq" for executable equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6578 
  6579 * Class finite no longer treats UNIV as class parameter.  Use class
  6580 enum from theory Library/Enum instead to achieve a similar effect.
  6581 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6582 
  6583 * Theory List: rule list_induct2 now has explicitly named cases "Nil"
  6584 and "Cons".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6585 
  6586 * HOL (and FOL): renamed variables in rules imp_elim and swap.
  6587 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6588 
  6589 * Theory Product_Type: duplicated lemmas split_Pair_apply and
  6590 injective_fst_snd removed, use split_eta and prod_eqI instead.
  6591 Renamed upd_fst to apfst and upd_snd to apsnd.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6592 
  6593 * Theory Nat: removed redundant lemmas that merely duplicate lemmas of
  6594 the same name in theory Orderings:
  6595 
  6596   less_trans
  6597   less_linear
  6598   le_imp_less_or_eq
  6599   le_less_trans
  6600   less_le_trans
  6601   less_not_sym
  6602   less_asym
  6603 
  6604 Renamed less_imp_le to less_imp_le_nat, and less_irrefl to
  6605 less_irrefl_nat.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to more general types
  6606 and different variable names.
  6607 
  6608 * Library/Option_ord.thy: Canonical order on option type.
  6609 
  6610 * Library/RBT.thy: Red-black trees, an efficient implementation of
  6611 finite maps.
  6612 
  6613 * Library/Countable.thy: Type class for countable types.
  6614 
  6615 * Theory Int: The representation of numerals has changed.  The infix
  6616 operator BIT and the bit datatype with constructors B0 and B1 have
  6617 disappeared.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "Int.Bit0 x" and "Int.Bit1 y" in
  6618 place of "x BIT bit.B0" and "y BIT bit.B1", respectively.  Theorems
  6619 involving BIT, B0, or B1 have been renamed with "Bit0" or "Bit1"
  6620 accordingly.
  6621 
  6622 * Theory Nat: definition of <= and < on natural numbers no longer
  6623 depend on well-founded relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Definitions
  6624 le_def and less_def have disappeared.  Consider lemmas not_less
  6625 [symmetric, where ?'a = nat] and less_eq [symmetric] instead.
  6626 
  6627 * Theory Finite_Set: locales ACf, ACe, ACIf, ACIfSL and ACIfSLlin
  6628 (whose purpose mainly is for various fold_set functionals) have been
  6629 abandoned in favor of the existing algebraic classes
  6630 ab_semigroup_mult, comm_monoid_mult, ab_semigroup_idem_mult,
  6631 lower_semilattice (resp. upper_semilattice) and linorder.
  6632 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6633 
  6634 * Theory Transitive_Closure: induct and cases rules now declare proper
  6635 case_names ("base" and "step").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6636 
  6637 * Theorem Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct generalized to complete
  6638 lattices.  The form set-specific version is available as
  6639 Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct_set.
  6640 
  6641 * Renamed theorems "power.simps" to "power_int.simps".
  6642 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6643 
  6644 * Class semiring_div provides basic abstract properties of semirings
  6645 with division and modulo operations.  Subsumes former class dvd_mod.
  6646 
  6647 * Merged theories IntDef, Numeral and IntArith into unified theory
  6648 Int.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6649 
  6650 * Theory Library/Code_Index: type "index" now represents natural
  6651 numbers rather than integers.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6652 
  6653 * New class "uminus" with operation "uminus" (split of from class
  6654 "minus" which now only has operation "minus", binary).
  6655 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6656 
  6657 * Constants "card", "internal_split", "option_map" now with authentic
  6658 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6659 
  6660 * Definitions subset_def, psubset_def, set_diff_def, Compl_def,
  6661 le_bool_def, less_bool_def, le_fun_def, less_fun_def, inf_bool_def,
  6662 sup_bool_def, Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, inf_fun_def, sup_fun_def,
  6663 Inf_fun_def, Sup_fun_def, inf_set_def, sup_set_def, Inf_set_def,
  6664 Sup_set_def, le_def, less_def, option_map_def now with object
  6665 equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6666 
  6667 * Records. Removed K_record, and replaced it by pure lambda term
  6668 %x. c. The simplifier setup is now more robust against eta expansion.
  6669 INCOMPATIBILITY: in cases explicitly referring to K_record.
  6670 
  6671 * Library/Multiset: {#a, b, c#} abbreviates {#a#} + {#b#} + {#c#}.
  6672 
  6673 * Library/ListVector: new theory of arithmetic vector operations.
  6674 
  6675 * Library/Order_Relation: new theory of various orderings as sets of
  6676 pairs.  Defines preorders, partial orders, linear orders and
  6677 well-orders on sets and on types.
  6678 
  6679 
  6680 *** ZF ***
  6681 
  6682 * Renamed some theories to allow to loading both ZF and HOL in the
  6683 same session:
  6684 
  6685   Datatype  -> Datatype_ZF
  6686   Inductive -> Inductive_ZF
  6687   Int       -> Int_ZF
  6688   IntDiv    -> IntDiv_ZF
  6689   Nat       -> Nat_ZF
  6690   List      -> List_ZF
  6691   Main      -> Main_ZF
  6692 
  6693 INCOMPATIBILITY: ZF theories that import individual theories below
  6694 Main might need to be adapted.  Regular theory Main is still
  6695 available, as trivial extension of Main_ZF.
  6696 
  6697 
  6698 *** ML ***
  6699 
  6700 * ML within Isar: antiquotation @{const name} or @{const
  6701 name(typargs)} produces statically-checked Const term.
  6702 
  6703 * Functor NamedThmsFun: data is available to the user as dynamic fact
  6704 (of the same name).  Removed obsolete print command.
  6705 
  6706 * Removed obsolete "use_legacy_bindings" function.
  6707 
  6708 * The ``print mode'' is now a thread-local value derived from a global
  6709 template (the former print_mode reference), thus access becomes
  6710 non-critical.  The global print_mode reference is for session
  6711 management only; user-code should use print_mode_value,
  6712 print_mode_active, PrintMode.setmp etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6713 
  6714 * Functions system/system_out provide a robust way to invoke external
  6715 shell commands, with propagation of interrupts (requires Poly/ML
  6716 5.2.1).  Do not use OS.Process.system etc. from the basis library!
  6717 
  6718 
  6719 *** System ***
  6720 
  6721 * Default settings: PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS no longer impose xemacs ---
  6722 in accordance with Proof General 3.7, which prefers GNU emacs.
  6723 
  6724 * isatool tty runs Isabelle process with plain tty interaction;
  6725 optional line editor may be specified via ISABELLE_LINE_EDITOR
  6726 setting, the default settings attempt to locate "ledit" and "rlwrap".
  6727 
  6728 * isatool browser now works with Cygwin as well, using general
  6729 "javapath" function defined in Isabelle process environment.
  6730 
  6731 * YXML notation provides a simple and efficient alternative to
  6732 standard XML transfer syntax.  See src/Pure/General/yxml.ML and
  6733 isatool yxml as described in the Isabelle system manual.
  6734 
  6735 * JVM class isabelle.IsabelleProcess (located in Isabelle/lib/classes)
  6736 provides general wrapper for managing an Isabelle process in a robust
  6737 fashion, with ``cooked'' output from stdin/stderr.
  6738 
  6739 * Rudimentary Isabelle plugin for jEdit (see Isabelle/lib/jedit),
  6740 based on Isabelle/JVM process wrapper (see Isabelle/lib/classes).
  6741 
  6742 * Removed obsolete THIS_IS_ISABELLE_BUILD feature.  NB: the documented
  6743 way of changing the user's settings is via
  6744 ISABELLE_HOME_USER/etc/settings, which is a fully featured bash
  6745 script.
  6746 
  6747 * Multithreading.max_threads := 0 refers to the number of actual CPU
  6748 cores of the underlying machine, which is a good starting point for
  6749 optimal performance tuning.  The corresponding usedir option -M allows
  6750 "max" as an alias for "0".  WARNING: does not work on certain versions
  6751 of Mac OS (with Poly/ML 5.1).
  6752 
  6753 * isabelle-process: non-ML sessions are run with "nice", to reduce the
  6754 adverse effect of Isabelle flooding interactive front-ends (notably
  6755 ProofGeneral / XEmacs).
  6756 
  6757 
  6758 
  6759 New in Isabelle2007 (November 2007)
  6760 -----------------------------------
  6761 
  6762 *** General ***
  6763 
  6764 * More uniform information about legacy features, notably a
  6765 warning/error of "Legacy feature: ...", depending on the state of the
  6766 tolerate_legacy_features flag (default true). FUTURE INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6767 legacy features will disappear eventually.
  6768 
  6769 * Theory syntax: the header format ``theory A = B + C:'' has been
  6770 discontinued in favour of ``theory A imports B C begin''.  Use isatool
  6771 fixheaders to convert existing theory files.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6772 
  6773 * Theory syntax: the old non-Isar theory file format has been
  6774 discontinued altogether.  Note that ML proof scripts may still be used
  6775 with Isar theories; migration is usually quite simple with the ML
  6776 function use_legacy_bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6777 
  6778 * Theory syntax: some popular names (e.g. 'class', 'declaration',
  6779 'fun', 'help', 'if') are now keywords.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use double
  6780 quotes.
  6781 
  6782 * Theory loader: be more serious about observing the static theory
  6783 header specifications (including optional directories), but not the
  6784 accidental file locations of previously successful loads.  The strict
  6785 update policy of former update_thy is now already performed by
  6786 use_thy, so the former has been removed; use_thys updates several
  6787 theories simultaneously, just as 'imports' within a theory header
  6788 specification, but without merging the results.  Potential
  6789 INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to refine theory headers and commands
  6790 ROOT.ML which depend on load order.
  6791 
  6792 * Theory loader: optional support for content-based file
  6793 identification, instead of the traditional scheme of full physical
  6794 path plus date stamp; configured by the ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT setting
  6795 (cf. the system manual).  The new scheme allows to work with
  6796 non-finished theories in persistent session images, such that source
  6797 files may be moved later on without requiring reloads.
  6798 
  6799 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  6800 file (with the same base name as the theory) are considered a legacy
  6801 feature, which will disappear eventually. Even now, the theory loader
  6802 no longer maintains dependencies on such files.
  6803 
  6804 * Syntax: the scope for resolving ambiguities via type-inference is
  6805 now limited to individual terms, instead of whole simultaneous
  6806 specifications as before. This greatly reduces the complexity of the
  6807 syntax module and improves flexibility by separating parsing and
  6808 type-checking. INCOMPATIBILITY: additional type-constraints (explicit
  6809 'fixes' etc.) are required in rare situations.
  6810 
  6811 * Syntax: constants introduced by new-style packages ('definition',
  6812 'abbreviation' etc.) are passed through the syntax module in
  6813 ``authentic mode''. This means that associated mixfix annotations
  6814 really stick to such constants, independently of potential name space
  6815 ambiguities introduced later on. INCOMPATIBILITY: constants in parse
  6816 trees are represented slightly differently, may need to adapt syntax
  6817 translations accordingly. Use CONST marker in 'translations' and
  6818 @{const_syntax} antiquotation in 'parse_translation' etc.
  6819 
  6820 * Legacy goal package: reduced interface to the bare minimum required
  6821 to keep existing proof scripts running.  Most other user-level
  6822 functions are now part of the OldGoals structure, which is *not* open
  6823 by default (consider isatool expandshort before open OldGoals).
  6824 Removed top_sg, prin, printyp, pprint_term/typ altogether, because
  6825 these tend to cause confusion about the actual goal (!) context being
  6826 used here, which is not necessarily the same as the_context().
  6827 
  6828 * Command 'find_theorems': supports "*" wild-card in "name:"
  6829 criterion; "with_dups" option.  Certain ProofGeneral versions might
  6830 support a specific search form (see ProofGeneral/CHANGES).
  6831 
  6832 * The ``prems limit'' option (cf. ProofContext.prems_limit) is now -1
  6833 by default, which means that "prems" (and also "fixed variables") are
  6834 suppressed from proof state output.  Note that the ProofGeneral
  6835 settings mechanism allows to change and save options persistently, but
  6836 older versions of Isabelle will fail to start up if a negative prems
  6837 limit is imposed.
  6838 
  6839 * Local theory targets may be specified by non-nested blocks of
  6840 ``context/locale/class ... begin'' followed by ``end''.  The body may
  6841 contain definitions, theorems etc., including any derived mechanism
  6842 that has been implemented on top of these primitives.  This concept
  6843 generalizes the existing ``theorem (in ...)'' towards more versatility
  6844 and scalability.
  6845 
  6846 * Proof General interface: proper undo of final 'end' command;
  6847 discontinued Isabelle/classic mode (ML proof scripts).
  6848 
  6849 
  6850 *** Document preparation ***
  6851 
  6852 * Added antiquotation @{theory name} which prints the given name,
  6853 after checking that it refers to a valid ancestor theory in the
  6854 current context.
  6855 
  6856 * Added antiquotations @{ML_type text} and @{ML_struct text} which
  6857 check the given source text as ML type/structure, printing verbatim.
  6858 
  6859 * Added antiquotation @{abbrev "c args"} which prints the abbreviation
  6860 "c args == rhs" given in the current context.  (Any number of
  6861 arguments may be given on the LHS.)
  6862 
  6863 
  6864 *** Pure ***
  6865 
  6866 * The 'class' package offers a combination of axclass and locale to
  6867 achieve Haskell-like type classes in Isabelle.  Definitions and
  6868 theorems within a class context produce both relative results (with
  6869 implicit parameters according to the locale context), and polymorphic
  6870 constants with qualified polymorphism (according to the class
  6871 context).  Within the body context of a 'class' target, a separate
  6872 syntax layer ("user space type system") takes care of converting
  6873 between global polymorphic consts and internal locale representation.
  6874 See src/HOL/ex/Classpackage.thy for examples (as well as main HOL).
  6875 "isatool doc classes" provides a tutorial.
  6876 
  6877 * Generic code generator framework allows to generate executable
  6878 code for ML and Haskell (including Isabelle classes).  A short usage
  6879 sketch:
  6880 
  6881     internal compilation:
  6882         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML
  6883     writing SML code to a file:
  6884         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML <filename>
  6885     writing OCaml code to a file:
  6886         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in OCaml <filename>
  6887     writing Haskell code to a bunch of files:
  6888         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in Haskell <filename>
  6889 
  6890     evaluating closed propositions to True/False using code generation:
  6891         method ``eval''
  6892 
  6893 Reasonable default setup of framework in HOL.
  6894 
  6895 Theorem attributs for selecting and transforming function equations theorems:
  6896 
  6897     [code fun]:        select a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  6898     [code fun del]:    deselect a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  6899     [code inline]:     select an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  6900     [code inline del]: deselect an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  6901 
  6902 User-defined serializations (target in {SML, OCaml, Haskell}):
  6903 
  6904     code_const <and-list of constants (term syntax)>
  6905       {(target) <and-list of const target syntax>}+
  6906 
  6907     code_type <and-list of type constructors>
  6908       {(target) <and-list of type target syntax>}+
  6909 
  6910     code_instance <and-list of instances>
  6911       {(target)}+
  6912         where instance ::= <type constructor> :: <class>
  6913 
  6914     code_class <and_list of classes>
  6915       {(target) <and-list of class target syntax>}+
  6916         where class target syntax ::= <class name> {where {<classop> == <target syntax>}+}?
  6917 
  6918 code_instance and code_class only are effective to target Haskell.
  6919 
  6920 For example usage see src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator.thy and
  6921 src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator_Pretty.thy.  A separate tutorial on code
  6922 generation from Isabelle/HOL theories is available via "isatool doc
  6923 codegen".
  6924 
  6925 * Code generator: consts in 'consts_code' Isar commands are now
  6926 referred to by usual term syntax (including optional type
  6927 annotations).
  6928 
  6929 * Command 'no_translations' removes translation rules from theory
  6930 syntax.
  6931 
  6932 * Overloaded definitions are now actually checked for acyclic
  6933 dependencies.  The overloading scheme is slightly more general than
  6934 that of Haskell98, although Isabelle does not demand an exact
  6935 correspondence to type class and instance declarations.
  6936 INCOMPATIBILITY, use ``defs (unchecked overloaded)'' to admit more
  6937 exotic versions of overloading -- at the discretion of the user!
  6938 
  6939 Polymorphic constants are represented via type arguments, i.e. the
  6940 instantiation that matches an instance against the most general
  6941 declaration given in the signature.  For example, with the declaration
  6942 c :: 'a => 'a => 'a, an instance c :: nat => nat => nat is represented
  6943 as c(nat).  Overloading is essentially simultaneous structural
  6944 recursion over such type arguments.  Incomplete specification patterns
  6945 impose global constraints on all occurrences, e.g. c('a * 'a) on the
  6946 LHS means that more general c('a * 'b) will be disallowed on any RHS.
  6947 Command 'print_theory' outputs the normalized system of recursive
  6948 equations, see section "definitions".
  6949 
  6950 * Configuration options are maintained within the theory or proof
  6951 context (with name and type bool/int/string), providing a very simple
  6952 interface to a poor-man's version of general context data.  Tools may
  6953 declare options in ML (e.g. using Attrib.config_int) and then refer to
  6954 these values using Config.get etc.  Users may change options via an
  6955 associated attribute of the same name.  This form of context
  6956 declaration works particularly well with commands 'declare' or
  6957 'using', for example ``declare [[foo = 42]]''.  Thus it has become
  6958 very easy to avoid global references, which would not observe Isar
  6959 toplevel undo/redo and fail to work with multithreading.
  6960 
  6961 Various global ML references of Pure and HOL have been turned into
  6962 configuration options:
  6963 
  6964   Unify.search_bound		unify_search_bound
  6965   Unify.trace_bound		unify_trace_bound
  6966   Unify.trace_simp		unify_trace_simp
  6967   Unify.trace_types		unify_trace_types
  6968   Simplifier.simp_depth_limit	simp_depth_limit
  6969   Blast.depth_limit		blast_depth_limit
  6970   DatatypeProp.dtK		datatype_distinctness_limit
  6971   fast_arith_neq_limit  	fast_arith_neq_limit
  6972   fast_arith_split_limit	fast_arith_split_limit
  6973 
  6974 * Named collections of theorems may be easily installed as context
  6975 data using the functor NamedThmsFun (see also
  6976 src/Pure/Tools/named_thms.ML).  The user may add or delete facts via
  6977 attributes; there is also a toplevel print command.  This facility is
  6978 just a common case of general context data, which is the preferred way
  6979 for anything more complex than just a list of facts in canonical
  6980 order.
  6981 
  6982 * Isar: command 'declaration' augments a local theory by generic
  6983 declaration functions written in ML.  This enables arbitrary content
  6984 being added to the context, depending on a morphism that tells the
  6985 difference of the original declaration context wrt. the application
  6986 context encountered later on.
  6987 
  6988 * Isar: proper interfaces for simplification procedures.  Command
  6989 'simproc_setup' declares named simprocs (with match patterns, and body
  6990 text in ML).  Attribute "simproc" adds/deletes simprocs in the current
  6991 context.  ML antiquotation @{simproc name} retrieves named simprocs.
  6992 
  6993 * Isar: an extra pair of brackets around attribute declarations
  6994 abbreviates a theorem reference involving an internal dummy fact,
  6995 which will be ignored later --- only the effect of the attribute on
  6996 the background context will persist.  This form of in-place
  6997 declarations is particularly useful with commands like 'declare' and
  6998 'using', for example ``have A using [[simproc a]] by simp''.
  6999 
  7000 * Isar: method "assumption" (and implicit closing of subproofs) now
  7001 takes simple non-atomic goal assumptions into account: after applying
  7002 an assumption as a rule the resulting subgoals are solved by atomic
  7003 assumption steps.  This is particularly useful to finish 'obtain'
  7004 goals, such as "!!x. (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> P x ==> thesis",
  7005 without referring to the original premise "!!x. P x ==> thesis" in the
  7006 Isar proof context.  POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY: method "assumption" is
  7007 more permissive.
  7008 
  7009 * Isar: implicit use of prems from the Isar proof context is
  7010 considered a legacy feature.  Common applications like ``have A .''
  7011 may be replaced by ``have A by fact'' or ``note `A`''.  In general,
  7012 referencing facts explicitly here improves readability and
  7013 maintainability of proof texts.
  7014 
  7015 * Isar: improper proof element 'guess' is like 'obtain', but derives
  7016 the obtained context from the course of reasoning!  For example:
  7017 
  7018   assume "EX x y. A x & B y"   -- "any previous fact"
  7019   then guess x and y by clarify
  7020 
  7021 This technique is potentially adventurous, depending on the facts and
  7022 proof tools being involved here.
  7023 
  7024 * Isar: known facts from the proof context may be specified as literal
  7025 propositions, using ASCII back-quote syntax.  This works wherever
  7026 named facts used to be allowed so far, in proof commands, proof
  7027 methods, attributes etc.  Literal facts are retrieved from the context
  7028 according to unification of type and term parameters.  For example,
  7029 provided that "A" and "A ==> B" and "!!x. P x ==> Q x" are known
  7030 theorems in the current context, then these are valid literal facts:
  7031 `A` and `A ==> B` and `!!x. P x ==> Q x" as well as `P a ==> Q a` etc.
  7032 
  7033 There is also a proof method "fact" which does the same composition
  7034 for explicit goal states, e.g. the following proof texts coincide with
  7035 certain special cases of literal facts:
  7036 
  7037   have "A" by fact                 ==  note `A`
  7038   have "A ==> B" by fact           ==  note `A ==> B`
  7039   have "!!x. P x ==> Q x" by fact  ==  note `!!x. P x ==> Q x`
  7040   have "P a ==> Q a" by fact       ==  note `P a ==> Q a`
  7041 
  7042 * Isar: ":" (colon) is no longer a symbolic identifier character in
  7043 outer syntax.  Thus symbolic identifiers may be used without
  7044 additional white space in declarations like this: ``assume *: A''.
  7045 
  7046 * Isar: 'print_facts' prints all local facts of the current context,
  7047 both named and unnamed ones.
  7048 
  7049 * Isar: 'def' now admits simultaneous definitions, e.g.:
  7050 
  7051   def x == "t" and y == "u"
  7052 
  7053 * Isar: added command 'unfolding', which is structurally similar to
  7054 'using', but affects both the goal state and facts by unfolding given
  7055 rewrite rules.  Thus many occurrences of the 'unfold' method or
  7056 'unfolded' attribute may be replaced by first-class proof text.
  7057 
  7058 * Isar: methods 'unfold' / 'fold', attributes 'unfolded' / 'folded',
  7059 and command 'unfolding' now all support object-level equalities
  7060 (potentially conditional).  The underlying notion of rewrite rule is
  7061 analogous to the 'rule_format' attribute, but *not* that of the
  7062 Simplifier (which is usually more generous).
  7063 
  7064 * Isar: the new attribute [rotated n] (default n = 1) rotates the
  7065 premises of a theorem by n. Useful in conjunction with drule.
  7066 
  7067 * Isar: the goal restriction operator [N] (default N = 1) evaluates a
  7068 method expression within a sandbox consisting of the first N
  7069 sub-goals, which need to exist.  For example, ``simp_all [3]''
  7070 simplifies the first three sub-goals, while (rule foo, simp_all)[]
  7071 simplifies all new goals that emerge from applying rule foo to the
  7072 originally first one.
  7073 
  7074 * Isar: schematic goals are no longer restricted to higher-order
  7075 patterns; e.g. ``lemma "?P(?x)" by (rule TrueI)'' now works as
  7076 expected.
  7077 
  7078 * Isar: the conclusion of a long theorem statement is now either
  7079 'shows' (a simultaneous conjunction, as before), or 'obtains'
  7080 (essentially a disjunction of cases with local parameters and
  7081 assumptions).  The latter allows to express general elimination rules
  7082 adequately; in this notation common elimination rules look like this:
  7083 
  7084   lemma exE:    -- "EX x. P x ==> (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  7085     assumes "EX x. P x"
  7086     obtains x where "P x"
  7087 
  7088   lemma conjE:  -- "A & B ==> (A ==> B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  7089     assumes "A & B"
  7090     obtains A and B
  7091 
  7092   lemma disjE:  -- "A | B ==> (A ==> thesis) ==> (B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  7093     assumes "A | B"
  7094     obtains
  7095       A
  7096     | B
  7097 
  7098 The subsequent classical rules even refer to the formal "thesis"
  7099 explicitly:
  7100 
  7101   lemma classical:     -- "(~ thesis ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  7102     obtains "~ thesis"
  7103 
  7104   lemma Peirce's_Law:  -- "((thesis ==> something) ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  7105     obtains "thesis ==> something"
  7106 
  7107 The actual proof of an 'obtains' statement is analogous to that of the
  7108 Isar proof element 'obtain', only that there may be several cases.
  7109 Optional case names may be specified in parentheses; these will be
  7110 available both in the present proof and as annotations in the
  7111 resulting rule, for later use with the 'cases' method (cf. attribute
  7112 case_names).
  7113 
  7114 * Isar: the assumptions of a long theorem statement are available as
  7115 "assms" fact in the proof context.  This is more appropriate than the
  7116 (historical) "prems", which refers to all assumptions of the current
  7117 context, including those from the target locale, proof body etc.
  7118 
  7119 * Isar: 'print_statement' prints theorems from the current theory or
  7120 proof context in long statement form, according to the syntax of a
  7121 top-level lemma.
  7122 
  7123 * Isar: 'obtain' takes an optional case name for the local context
  7124 introduction rule (default "that").
  7125 
  7126 * Isar: removed obsolete 'concl is' patterns.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  7127 explicit (is "_ ==> ?foo") in the rare cases where this still happens
  7128 to occur.
  7129 
  7130 * Pure: syntax "CONST name" produces a fully internalized constant
  7131 according to the current context.  This is particularly useful for
  7132 syntax translations that should refer to internal constant
  7133 representations independently of name spaces.
  7134 
  7135 * Pure: syntax constant for foo (binder "FOO ") is called "foo_binder"
  7136 instead of "FOO ". This allows multiple binder declarations to coexist
  7137 in the same context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7138 
  7139 * Isar/locales: 'notation' provides a robust interface to the 'syntax'
  7140 primitive that also works in a locale context (both for constants and
  7141 fixed variables). Type declaration and internal syntactic representation
  7142 of given constants retrieved from the context. Likewise, the
  7143 'no_notation' command allows to remove given syntax annotations from the
  7144 current context.
  7145 
  7146 * Isar/locales: new derived specification elements 'axiomatization',
  7147 'definition', 'abbreviation', which support type-inference, admit
  7148 object-level specifications (equality, equivalence).  See also the
  7149 isar-ref manual.  Examples:
  7150 
  7151   axiomatization
  7152     eq  (infix "===" 50) where
  7153     eq_refl: "x === x" and eq_subst: "x === y ==> P x ==> P y"
  7154 
  7155   definition "f x y = x + y + 1"
  7156   definition g where "g x = f x x"
  7157 
  7158   abbreviation
  7159     neq  (infix "=!=" 50) where
  7160     "x =!= y == ~ (x === y)"
  7161 
  7162 These specifications may be also used in a locale context.  Then the
  7163 constants being introduced depend on certain fixed parameters, and the
  7164 constant name is qualified by the locale base name.  An internal
  7165 abbreviation takes care for convenient input and output, making the
  7166 parameters implicit and using the original short name.  See also
  7167 src/HOL/ex/Abstract_NAT.thy for an example of deriving polymorphic
  7168 entities from a monomorphic theory.
  7169 
  7170 Presently, abbreviations are only available 'in' a target locale, but
  7171 not inherited by general import expressions.  Also note that
  7172 'abbreviation' may be used as a type-safe replacement for 'syntax' +
  7173 'translations' in common applications.  The "no_abbrevs" print mode
  7174 prevents folding of abbreviations in term output.
  7175 
  7176 Concrete syntax is attached to specified constants in internal form,
  7177 independently of name spaces.  The parse tree representation is
  7178 slightly different -- use 'notation' instead of raw 'syntax', and
  7179 'translations' with explicit "CONST" markup to accommodate this.
  7180 
  7181 * Pure/Isar: unified syntax for new-style specification mechanisms
  7182 (e.g.  'definition', 'abbreviation', or 'inductive' in HOL) admits
  7183 full type inference and dummy patterns ("_").  For example:
  7184 
  7185   definition "K x _ = x"
  7186 
  7187   inductive conj for A B
  7188   where "A ==> B ==> conj A B"
  7189 
  7190 * Pure: command 'print_abbrevs' prints all constant abbreviations of
  7191 the current context.  Print mode "no_abbrevs" prevents inversion of
  7192 abbreviations on output.
  7193 
  7194 * Isar/locales: improved parameter handling: use of locales "var" and
  7195 "struct" no longer necessary; - parameter renamings are no longer
  7196 required to be injective.  For example, this allows to define
  7197 endomorphisms as locale endom = homom mult mult h.
  7198 
  7199 * Isar/locales: changed the way locales with predicates are defined.
  7200 Instead of accumulating the specification, the imported expression is
  7201 now an interpretation.  INCOMPATIBILITY: different normal form of
  7202 locale expressions.  In particular, in interpretations of locales with
  7203 predicates, goals repesenting already interpreted fragments are not
  7204 removed automatically.  Use methods `intro_locales' and
  7205 `unfold_locales'; see below.
  7206 
  7207 * Isar/locales: new methods `intro_locales' and `unfold_locales'
  7208 provide backward reasoning on locales predicates.  The methods are
  7209 aware of interpretations and discharge corresponding goals.
  7210 `intro_locales' is less aggressive then `unfold_locales' and does not
  7211 unfold predicates to assumptions.
  7212 
  7213 * Isar/locales: the order in which locale fragments are accumulated
  7214 has changed.  This enables to override declarations from fragments due
  7215 to interpretations -- for example, unwanted simp rules.
  7216 
  7217 * Isar/locales: interpretation in theories and proof contexts has been
  7218 extended.  One may now specify (and prove) equations, which are
  7219 unfolded in interpreted theorems.  This is useful for replacing
  7220 defined concepts (constants depending on locale parameters) by
  7221 concepts already existing in the target context.  Example:
  7222 
  7223   interpretation partial_order ["op <= :: [int, int] => bool"]
  7224     where "partial_order.less (op <=) (x::int) y = (x < y)"
  7225 
  7226 Typically, the constant `partial_order.less' is created by a
  7227 definition specification element in the context of locale
  7228 partial_order.
  7229 
  7230 * Method "induct": improved internal context management to support
  7231 local fixes and defines on-the-fly. Thus explicit meta-level
  7232 connectives !!  and ==> are rarely required anymore in inductive goals
  7233 (using object-logic connectives for this purpose has been long
  7234 obsolete anyway). Common proof patterns are explained in
  7235 src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, see also
  7236 src/HOL/Isar_examples/Puzzle.thy and src/HOL/Lambda for realistic
  7237 examples.
  7238 
  7239 * Method "induct": improved handling of simultaneous goals. Instead of
  7240 introducing object-level conjunction, the statement is now split into
  7241 several conclusions, while the corresponding symbolic cases are nested
  7242 accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY, proofs need to be structured explicitly,
  7243 see src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, for example.
  7244 
  7245 * Method "induct": mutual induction rules are now specified as a list
  7246 of rule sharing the same induction cases. HOL packages usually provide
  7247 foo_bar.inducts for mutually defined items foo and bar (e.g. inductive
  7248 predicates/sets or datatypes). INCOMPATIBILITY, users need to specify
  7249 mutual induction rules differently, i.e. like this:
  7250 
  7251   (induct rule: foo_bar.inducts)
  7252   (induct set: foo bar)
  7253   (induct pred: foo bar)
  7254   (induct type: foo bar)
  7255 
  7256 The ML function ProjectRule.projections turns old-style rules into the
  7257 new format.
  7258 
  7259 * Method "coinduct": dual of induction, see
  7260 src/HOL/Library/Coinductive_List.thy for various examples.
  7261 
  7262 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": the ``(open)'' option is
  7263 considered a legacy feature.
  7264 
  7265 * Attribute "symmetric" produces result with standardized schematic
  7266 variables (index 0).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7267 
  7268 * Simplifier: by default the simplifier trace only shows top level
  7269 rewrites now. That is, trace_simp_depth_limit is set to 1 by
  7270 default. Thus there is less danger of being flooded by the trace. The
  7271 trace indicates where parts have been suppressed.
  7272 
  7273 * Provers/classical: removed obsolete classical version of elim_format
  7274 attribute; classical elim/dest rules are now treated uniformly when
  7275 manipulating the claset.
  7276 
  7277 * Provers/classical: stricter checks to ensure that supplied intro,
  7278 dest and elim rules are well-formed; dest and elim rules must have at
  7279 least one premise.
  7280 
  7281 * Provers/classical: attributes dest/elim/intro take an optional
  7282 weight argument for the rule (just as the Pure versions).  Weights are
  7283 ignored by automated tools, but determine the search order of single
  7284 rule steps.
  7285 
  7286 * Syntax: input syntax now supports dummy variable binding "%_. b",
  7287 where the body does not mention the bound variable.  Note that dummy
  7288 patterns implicitly depend on their context of bounds, which makes
  7289 "{_. _}" match any set comprehension as expected.  Potential
  7290 INCOMPATIBILITY -- parse translations need to cope with syntactic
  7291 constant "_idtdummy" in the binding position.
  7292 
  7293 * Syntax: removed obsolete syntactic constant "_K" and its associated
  7294 parse translation.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- use dummy abstraction instead,
  7295 for example "A -> B" => "Pi A (%_. B)".
  7296 
  7297 * Pure: 'class_deps' command visualizes the subclass relation, using
  7298 the graph browser tool.
  7299 
  7300 * Pure: 'print_theory' now suppresses certain internal declarations by
  7301 default; use '!' option for full details.
  7302 
  7303 
  7304 *** HOL ***
  7305 
  7306 * Method "metis" proves goals by applying the Metis general-purpose
  7307 resolution prover (see also http://gilith.com/software/metis/).
  7308 Examples are in the directory MetisExamples.  WARNING: the
  7309 Isabelle/HOL-Metis integration does not yet work properly with
  7310 multi-threading.
  7311 
  7312 * Command 'sledgehammer' invokes external automatic theorem provers as
  7313 background processes.  It generates calls to the "metis" method if
  7314 successful. These can be pasted into the proof.  Users do not have to
  7315 wait for the automatic provers to return.  WARNING: does not really
  7316 work with multi-threading.
  7317 
  7318 * New "auto_quickcheck" feature tests outermost goal statements for
  7319 potential counter-examples.  Controlled by ML references
  7320 auto_quickcheck (default true) and auto_quickcheck_time_limit (default
  7321 5000 milliseconds).  Fails silently if statements is outside of
  7322 executable fragment, or any other codgenerator problem occurs.
  7323 
  7324 * New constant "undefined" with axiom "undefined x = undefined".
  7325 
  7326 * Added class "HOL.eq", allowing for code generation with polymorphic
  7327 equality.
  7328 
  7329 * Some renaming of class constants due to canonical name prefixing in
  7330 the new 'class' package:
  7331 
  7332     HOL.abs ~> HOL.abs_class.abs
  7333     HOL.divide ~> HOL.divide_class.divide
  7334     0 ~> HOL.zero_class.zero
  7335     1 ~> HOL.one_class.one
  7336     op + ~> HOL.plus_class.plus
  7337     op - ~> HOL.minus_class.minus
  7338     uminus ~> HOL.minus_class.uminus
  7339     op * ~> HOL.times_class.times
  7340     op < ~> HOL.ord_class.less
  7341     op <= > HOL.ord_class.less_eq
  7342     Nat.power ~> Power.power_class.power
  7343     Nat.size ~> Nat.size_class.size
  7344     Numeral.number_of ~> Numeral.number_class.number_of
  7345     FixedPoint.Inf ~> Lattices.complete_lattice_class.Inf
  7346     FixedPoint.Sup ~> Lattices.complete_lattice_class.Sup
  7347     Orderings.min ~> Orderings.ord_class.min
  7348     Orderings.max ~> Orderings.ord_class.max
  7349     Divides.op div ~> Divides.div_class.div
  7350     Divides.op mod ~> Divides.div_class.mod
  7351     Divides.op dvd ~> Divides.div_class.dvd
  7352 
  7353 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Adaptions may be required in the following cases:
  7354 
  7355 a) User-defined constants using any of the names "plus", "minus",
  7356 "times", "less" or "less_eq". The standard syntax translations for
  7357 "+", "-" and "*" may go wrong.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific
  7358 names.
  7359 
  7360 b) Variables named "plus", "minus", "times", "less", "less_eq"
  7361 INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific names.
  7362 
  7363 c) Permutative equations (e.g. "a + b = b + a")
  7364 Since the change of names also changes the order of terms, permutative
  7365 rewrite rules may get applied in a different order. Experience shows
  7366 that this is rarely the case (only two adaptions in the whole Isabelle
  7367 distribution).  INCOMPATIBILITY: rewrite proofs
  7368 
  7369 d) ML code directly refering to constant names
  7370 This in general only affects hand-written proof tactics, simprocs and
  7371 so on.  INCOMPATIBILITY: grep your sourcecode and replace names.
  7372 Consider using @{const_name} antiquotation.
  7373 
  7374 * New class "default" with associated constant "default".
  7375 
  7376 * Function "sgn" is now overloaded and available on int, real, complex
  7377 (and other numeric types), using class "sgn".  Two possible defs of
  7378 sgn are given as equational assumptions in the classes sgn_if and
  7379 sgn_div_norm; ordered_idom now also inherits from sgn_if.
  7380 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7381 
  7382 * Locale "partial_order" now unified with class "order" (cf. theory
  7383 Orderings), added parameter "less".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7384 
  7385 * Renamings in classes "order" and "linorder": facts "refl", "trans" and
  7386 "cases" to "order_refl", "order_trans" and "linorder_cases", to avoid
  7387 clashes with HOL "refl" and "trans".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7388 
  7389 * Classes "order" and "linorder": potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to
  7390 changed order of proof goals in instance proofs.
  7391 
  7392 * The transitivity reasoner for partial and linear orders is set up
  7393 for classes "order" and "linorder".  Instances of the reasoner are available
  7394 in all contexts importing or interpreting the corresponding locales.
  7395 Method "order" invokes the reasoner separately; the reasoner
  7396 is also integrated with the Simplifier as a solver.  Diagnostic
  7397 command 'print_orders' shows the available instances of the reasoner
  7398 in the current context.
  7399 
  7400 * Localized monotonicity predicate in theory "Orderings"; integrated
  7401 lemmas max_of_mono and min_of_mono with this predicate.
  7402 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7403 
  7404 * Formulation of theorem "dense" changed slightly due to integration
  7405 with new class dense_linear_order.
  7406 
  7407 * Uniform lattice theory development in HOL.
  7408 
  7409     constants "meet" and "join" now named "inf" and "sup"
  7410     constant "Meet" now named "Inf"
  7411 
  7412     classes "meet_semilorder" and "join_semilorder" now named
  7413       "lower_semilattice" and "upper_semilattice"
  7414     class "lorder" now named "lattice"
  7415     class "comp_lat" now named "complete_lattice"
  7416 
  7417     Instantiation of lattice classes allows explicit definitions
  7418     for "inf" and "sup" operations (or "Inf" and "Sup" for complete lattices).
  7419 
  7420   INCOMPATIBILITY.  Theorem renames:

  7522 
  7523 * Added syntactic class "size"; overloaded constant "size" now has
  7524 type "'a::size ==> bool"
  7525 
  7526 * Internal reorganisation of `size' of datatypes: size theorems
  7527 "foo.size" are no longer subsumed by "foo.simps" (but are still
  7528 simplification rules by default!); theorems "prod.size" now named
  7529 "*.size".
  7530 
  7531 * Class "div" now inherits from class "times" rather than "type".
  7532 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7533 
  7534 * HOL/Finite_Set: "name-space" locales Lattice, Distrib_lattice,
  7535 Linorder etc.  have disappeared; operations defined in terms of
  7536 fold_set now are named Inf_fin, Sup_fin.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7537 
  7538 * HOL/Nat: neq0_conv no longer declared as iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7539 
  7540 * HOL-Word: New extensive library and type for generic, fixed size
  7541 machine words, with arithmetic, bit-wise, shifting and rotating
  7542 operations, reflection into int, nat, and bool lists, automation for
  7543 linear arithmetic (by automatic reflection into nat or int), including
  7544 lemmas on overflow and monotonicity.  Instantiated to all appropriate
  7545 arithmetic type classes, supporting automatic simplification of
  7546 numerals on all operations.
  7547 
  7548 * Library/Boolean_Algebra: locales for abstract boolean algebras.
  7549 
  7550 * Library/Numeral_Type: numbers as types, e.g. TYPE(32).
  7551 
  7552 * Code generator library theories:
  7553   - Code_Integer represents HOL integers by big integer literals in target
  7554     languages.
  7555   - Code_Char represents HOL characters by character literals in target
  7556     languages.
  7557   - Code_Char_chr like Code_Char, but also offers treatment of character
  7558     codes; includes Code_Integer.
  7559   - Executable_Set allows to generate code for finite sets using lists.
  7560   - Executable_Rat implements rational numbers as triples (sign, enumerator,
  7561     denominator).
  7562   - Executable_Real implements a subset of real numbers, namly those
  7563     representable by rational numbers.
  7564   - Efficient_Nat implements natural numbers by integers, which in general will
  7565     result in higher efficency; pattern matching with 0/Suc is eliminated;
  7566     includes Code_Integer.
  7567   - Code_Index provides an additional datatype index which is mapped to
  7568     target-language built-in integers.
  7569   - Code_Message provides an additional datatype message_string which is isomorphic to
  7570     strings; messages are mapped to target-language strings.
  7571 
  7572 * New package for inductive predicates
  7573 
  7574   An n-ary predicate p with m parameters z_1, ..., z_m can now be defined via
  7575 
  7576     inductive
  7577       p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7578       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7579     where
  7580       rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  7581     | ...
  7582 
  7583   with full support for type-inference, rather than
  7584 
  7585     consts s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7586 
  7587     abbreviation p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7588     where "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7589 
  7590     inductive "s z_1 ... z_m"
  7591     intros
  7592       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7593       ...
  7594 
  7595   For backward compatibility, there is a wrapper allowing inductive
  7596   sets to be defined with the new package via
  7597 
  7598     inductive_set
  7599       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7600       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7601     where
  7602       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7603     | ...
  7604 
  7605   or
  7606 
  7607     inductive_set
  7608       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7609       and p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7610       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7611     where
  7612       "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7613     | rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  7614     | ...
  7615 
  7616   if the additional syntax "p ..." is required.
  7617 
  7618   Numerous examples can be found in the subdirectories src/HOL/Auth,
  7619   src/HOL/Bali, src/HOL/Induct, and src/HOL/MicroJava.
  7620 
  7621   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  7622 
  7623   - Since declaration and definition of inductive sets or predicates
  7624     is no longer separated, abbreviations involving the newly
  7625     introduced sets or predicates must be specified together with the
  7626     introduction rules after the 'where' keyword (see above), rather
  7627     than before the actual inductive definition.
  7628 
  7629   - The variables in induction and elimination rules are now
  7630     quantified in the order of their occurrence in the introduction
  7631     rules, rather than in alphabetical order. Since this may break
  7632     some proofs, these proofs either have to be repaired, e.g. by
  7633     reordering the variables a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i} in Isar 'case'
  7634     statements of the form
  7635 
  7636       case (rule_i a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i})
  7637 
  7638     or the old order of quantification has to be restored by explicitly adding
  7639     meta-level quantifiers in the introduction rules, i.e.
  7640 
  7641       | rule_i: "!!a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i}. ... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_i_1 ... t_i_n"
  7642 
  7643   - The format of the elimination rules is now
  7644 
  7645       p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n ==>
  7646         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  7647         ==> ... ==> P
  7648 
  7649     for predicates and
  7650 
  7651       (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  7652         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  7653         ==> ... ==> P
  7654 
  7655     for sets rather than
  7656 
  7657       x : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  7658         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x = (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) ==> ... ==> P)
  7659         ==> ... ==> P
  7660 
  7661     This may require terms in goals to be expanded to n-tuples
  7662     (e.g. using case_tac or simplification with the split_paired_all
  7663     rule) before the above elimination rule is applicable.
  7664 
  7665   - The elimination or case analysis rules for (mutually) inductive
  7666     sets or predicates are now called "p_1.cases" ... "p_k.cases". The
  7667     list of rules "p_1_..._p_k.elims" is no longer available.
  7668 
  7669 * New package "function"/"fun" for general recursive functions,
  7670 supporting mutual and nested recursion, definitions in local contexts,
  7671 more general pattern matching and partiality. See HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy
  7672 for small examples, and the separate tutorial on the function
  7673 package. The old recdef "package" is still available as before, but
  7674 users are encouraged to use the new package.
  7675 
  7676 * Method "lexicographic_order" automatically synthesizes termination
  7677 relations as lexicographic combinations of size measures.
  7678 
  7679 * Case-expressions allow arbitrary constructor-patterns (including
  7680 "_") and take their order into account, like in functional
  7681 programming.  Internally, this is translated into nested
  7682 case-expressions; missing cases are added and mapped to the predefined
  7683 constant "undefined". In complicated cases printing may no longer show
  7684 the original input but the internal form. Lambda-abstractions allow
  7685 the same form of pattern matching: "% pat1 => e1 | ..." is an
  7686 abbreviation for "%x. case x of pat1 => e1 | ..." where x is a new
  7687 variable.
  7688 
  7689 * IntDef: The constant "int :: nat => int" has been removed; now "int"
  7690 is an abbreviation for "of_nat :: nat => int". The simplification
  7691 rules for "of_nat" have been changed to work like "int" did
  7692 previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  7693   - "of_nat (Suc m)" simplifies to "1 + of_nat m" instead of "of_nat m + 1"
  7694   - of_nat_diff and of_nat_mult are no longer default simp rules
  7695 
  7696 * Method "algebra" solves polynomial equations over (semi)rings using
  7697 Groebner bases. The (semi)ring structure is defined by locales and the
  7698 tool setup depends on that generic context. Installing the method for
  7699 a specific type involves instantiating the locale and possibly adding
  7700 declarations for computation on the coefficients.  The method is
  7701 already instantiated for natural numbers and for the axiomatic class
  7702 of idoms with numerals.  See also the paper by Chaieb and Wenzel at
  7703 CALCULEMUS 2007 for the general principles underlying this
  7704 architecture of context-aware proof-tools.
  7705 
  7706 * Method "ferrack" implements quantifier elimination over
  7707 special-purpose dense linear orders using locales (analogous to
  7708 "algebra"). The method is already installed for class
  7709 {ordered_field,recpower,number_ring} which subsumes real, hyperreal,
  7710 rat, etc.
  7711 
  7712 * Former constant "List.op @" now named "List.append".  Use ML
  7713 antiquotations @{const_name List.append} or @{term " ... @ ... "} to
  7714 circumvent possible incompatibilities when working on ML level.
  7715 
  7716 * primrec: missing cases mapped to "undefined" instead of "arbitrary".
  7717 
  7718 * New function listsum :: 'a list => 'a for arbitrary monoids.
  7719 Special syntax: "SUM x <- xs. f x" (and latex variants)
  7720 
  7721 * New syntax for Haskell-like list comprehension (input only), eg.
  7722 [(x,y). x <- xs, y <- ys, x ~= y], see also src/HOL/List.thy.
  7723 
  7724 * The special syntax for function "filter" has changed from [x :
  7725 xs. P] to [x <- xs. P] to avoid an ambiguity caused by list
  7726 comprehension syntax, and for uniformity.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7727 
  7728 * [a..b] is now defined for arbitrary linear orders.  It used to be
  7729 defined on nat only, as an abbreviation for [a..<Suc b]
  7730 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7731 
  7732 * Renamed lemma "set_take_whileD"  to "set_takeWhileD".
  7733 
  7734 * New functions "sorted" and "sort" in src/HOL/List.thy.
  7735 
  7736 * New lemma collection field_simps (an extension of ring_simps) for
  7737 manipulating (in)equations involving division. Multiplies with all
  7738 denominators that can be proved to be non-zero (in equations) or
  7739 positive/negative (in inequations).
  7740 
  7741 * Lemma collections ring_eq_simps, group_eq_simps and ring_distrib
  7742 have been improved and renamed to ring_simps, group_simps and
  7743 ring_distribs.  Removed lemmas field_xyz in theory Ring_and_Field
  7744 because they were subsumed by lemmas xyz.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7745 
  7746 * Theory Library/Commutative_Ring: switched from recdef to function
  7747 package; constants add, mul, pow now curried.  Infix syntax for
  7748 algebraic operations.
  7749 
  7750 * Dropped redundant lemma def_imp_eq in favor of meta_eq_to_obj_eq.
  7751 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7752 
  7753 * Dropped redundant lemma if_def2 in favor of if_bool_eq_conj.
  7754 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7755 
  7756 * HOL/records: generalised field-update to take a function on the
  7757 field rather than the new value: r(|A := x|) is translated to A_update
  7758 (K x) r The K-combinator that is internally used is called K_record.
  7759 INCOMPATIBILITY: Usage of the plain update functions has to be
  7760 adapted.
  7761 
  7762 * Class "semiring_0" now contains annihilation axioms x * 0 = 0 and 0
  7763 * x = 0, which are required for a semiring.  Richer structures do not
  7764 inherit from semiring_0 anymore, because this property is a theorem
  7765 there, not an axiom.  INCOMPATIBILITY: In instances of semiring_0,
  7766 there is more to prove, but this is mostly trivial.
  7767 
  7768 * Class "recpower" is generalized to arbitrary monoids, not just
  7769 commutative semirings.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to incorporate
  7770 commutativity or semiring properties additionally.
  7771 
  7772 * Constant "List.list_all2" in List.thy now uses authentic syntax.
  7773 INCOMPATIBILITY: translations containing list_all2 may go wrong,
  7774 better use 'abbreviation'.
  7775 
  7776 * Renamed constant "List.op mem" to "List.member".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7777 
  7778 * Numeral syntax: type 'bin' which was a mere type copy of 'int' has
  7779 been abandoned in favour of plain 'int'.  INCOMPATIBILITY --
  7780 significant changes for setting up numeral syntax for types:
  7781   - New constants Numeral.pred and Numeral.succ instead
  7782       of former Numeral.bin_pred and Numeral.bin_succ.
  7783   - Use integer operations instead of bin_add, bin_mult and so on.
  7784   - Numeral simplification theorems named Numeral.numeral_simps instead of Bin_simps.
  7785   - ML structure Bin_Simprocs now named Int_Numeral_Base_Simprocs.
  7786 
  7787 See src/HOL/Integ/IntArith.thy for an example setup.
  7788 
  7789 * Command 'normal_form' computes the normal form of a term that may
  7790 contain free variables.  For example ``normal_form "rev [a, b, c]"''
  7791 produces ``[b, c, a]'' (without proof).  This command is suitable for
  7792 heavy-duty computations because the functions are compiled to ML
  7793 first.  Correspondingly, a method "normalization" is provided.  See
  7794 further src/HOL/ex/NormalForm.thy and src/Tools/nbe.ML.
  7795 
  7796 * Alternative iff syntax "A <-> B" for equality on bool (with priority
  7797 25 like -->); output depends on the "iff" print_mode, the default is
  7798 "A = B" (with priority 50).
  7799 
  7800 * Relations less (<) and less_eq (<=) are also available on type bool.
  7801 Modified syntax to disallow nesting without explicit parentheses,
  7802 e.g. "(x < y) < z" or "x < (y < z)", but NOT "x < y < z".  Potential
  7803 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7804 
  7805 * "LEAST x:A. P" expands to "LEAST x. x:A & P" (input only).
  7806 
  7807 * Relation composition operator "op O" now has precedence 75 and binds
  7808 stronger than union and intersection. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7809 
  7810 * The old set interval syntax "{m..n(}" (and relatives) has been
  7811 removed.  Use "{m..<n}" (and relatives) instead.
  7812 
  7813 * In the context of the assumption "~(s = t)" the Simplifier rewrites
  7814 "t = s" to False (by simproc "neq").  INCOMPATIBILITY, consider using
  7815 ``declare [[simproc del: neq]]''.
  7816 
  7817 * Simplifier: "m dvd n" where m and n are numbers is evaluated to
  7818 True/False.
  7819 
  7820 * Theorem Cons_eq_map_conv no longer declared as "simp".
  7821 
  7822 * Theorem setsum_mult renamed to setsum_right_distrib.
  7823 
  7824 * Prefer ex1I over ex_ex1I in single-step reasoning, e.g. by the
  7825 ``rule'' method.
  7826 
  7827 * Reimplemented methods "sat" and "satx", with several improvements:
  7828 goals no longer need to be stated as "<prems> ==> False", equivalences
  7829 (i.e. "=" on type bool) are handled, variable names of the form
  7830 "lit_<n>" are no longer reserved, significant speedup.
  7831 
  7832 * Methods "sat" and "satx" can now replay MiniSat proof traces.
  7833 zChaff is still supported as well.
  7834 
  7835 * 'inductive' and 'datatype': provide projections of mutual rules,
  7836 bundled as foo_bar.inducts;
  7837 
  7838 * Library: moved theories Parity, GCD, Binomial, Infinite_Set to
  7839 Library.
  7840 
  7841 * Library: moved theory Accessible_Part to main HOL.
  7842 
  7843 * Library: added theory Coinductive_List of potentially infinite lists
  7844 as greatest fixed-point.
  7845 
  7846 * Library: added theory AssocList which implements (finite) maps as
  7847 association lists.
  7848 
  7849 * Method "evaluation" solves goals (i.e. a boolean expression)
  7850 efficiently by compiling it to ML.  The goal is "proved" (via an
  7851 oracle) if it evaluates to True.
  7852 
  7853 * Linear arithmetic now splits certain operators (e.g. min, max, abs)
  7854 also when invoked by the simplifier.  This results in the Simplifier
  7855 being more powerful on arithmetic goals.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7856 Configuration option fast_arith_split_limit=0 recovers the old
  7857 behavior.
  7858 
  7859 * Support for hex (0x20) and binary (0b1001) numerals.
  7860 
  7861 * New method: reify eqs (t), where eqs are equations for an
  7862 interpretation I :: 'a list => 'b => 'c and t::'c is an optional
  7863 parameter, computes a term s::'b and a list xs::'a list and proves the
  7864 theorem I xs s = t. This is also known as reification or quoting. The
  7865 resulting theorem is applied to the subgoal to substitute t with I xs
  7866 s.  If t is omitted, the subgoal itself is reified.
  7867 
  7868 * New method: reflection corr_thm eqs (t). The parameters eqs and (t)
  7869 are as explained above. corr_thm is a theorem for I vs (f t) = I vs t,
  7870 where f is supposed to be a computable function (in the sense of code
  7871 generattion). The method uses reify to compute s and xs as above then
  7872 applies corr_thm and uses normalization by evaluation to "prove" f s =
  7873 r and finally gets the theorem t = r, which is again applied to the
  7874 subgoal. An Example is available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy.
  7875 
  7876 * Reflection: Automatic reification now handels binding, an example is
  7877 available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy
  7878 
  7879 * HOL-Statespace: ``State Spaces: The Locale Way'' introduces a
  7880 command 'statespace' that is similar to 'record', but introduces an
  7881 abstract specification based on the locale infrastructure instead of
  7882 HOL types.  This leads to extra flexibility in composing state spaces,
  7883 in particular multiple inheritance and renaming of components.
  7884 
  7885 
  7886 *** HOL-Complex ***
  7887 
  7888 * Hyperreal: Functions root and sqrt are now defined on negative real
  7889 inputs so that root n (- x) = - root n x and sqrt (- x) = - sqrt x.
  7890 Nonnegativity side conditions have been removed from many lemmas, so
  7891 that more subgoals may now be solved by simplification; potential
  7892 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7893 
  7894 * Real: new type classes formalize real normed vector spaces and
  7895 algebras, using new overloaded constants scaleR :: real => 'a => 'a
  7896 and norm :: 'a => real.
  7897 
  7898 * Real: constant of_real :: real => 'a::real_algebra_1 injects from
  7899 reals into other types. The overloaded constant Reals :: 'a set is now
  7900 defined as range of_real; potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7901 
  7902 * Real: proper support for ML code generation, including 'quickcheck'.
  7903 Reals are implemented as arbitrary precision rationals.
  7904 
  7905 * Hyperreal: Several constants that previously worked only for the
  7906 reals have been generalized, so they now work over arbitrary vector
  7907 spaces. Type annotations may need to be added in some cases; potential
  7908 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7909 
  7910   Infinitesimal  :: ('a::real_normed_vector) star set

  7924   exp            :: 'a::{recpower,real_normed_field,banach} => 'a
  7925 
  7926 * Complex: Some complex-specific constants are now abbreviations for
  7927 overloaded ones: complex_of_real = of_real, cmod = norm, hcmod =
  7928 hnorm.  Other constants have been entirely removed in favor of the
  7929 polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7930 
  7931   approx        <-- capprox
  7932   HFinite       <-- CFinite
  7933   HInfinite     <-- CInfinite
  7934   Infinitesimal <-- CInfinitesimal
  7935   monad         <-- cmonad
  7936   galaxy        <-- cgalaxy
  7937   (NS)LIM       <-- (NS)CLIM, (NS)CRLIM
  7938   is(NS)Cont    <-- is(NS)Contc, is(NS)contCR
  7939   (ns)deriv     <-- (ns)cderiv
  7940 
  7941 
  7942 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  7943 
  7944 * Formalisation of ideals and the quotient construction over rings.
  7945 
  7946 * Order and lattice theory no longer based on records.
  7947 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7948 
  7949 * Renamed lemmas least_carrier -> least_closed and greatest_carrier ->
  7950 greatest_closed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7951 
  7952 * Method algebra is now set up via an attribute.  For examples see
  7953 Ring.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY: the method is now weaker on combinations
  7954 of algebraic structures.
  7955 
  7956 * Renamed theory CRing to Ring.
  7957 
  7958 
  7959 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  7960 
  7961 * Substantial, yet incomplete support for nominal datatypes (binding
  7962 structures) based on HOL-Nominal logic.  See src/HOL/Nominal and
  7963 src/HOL/Nominal/Examples.  Prospective users should consult
  7964 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/nominal/
  7965 
  7966 
  7967 *** ML ***
  7968 
  7969 * ML basics: just one true type int, which coincides with IntInf.int
  7970 (even on SML/NJ).
  7971 
  7972 * ML within Isar: antiquotations allow to embed statically-checked
  7973 formal entities in the source, referring to the context available at
  7974 compile-time.  For example:
  7975 
  7976 ML {* @{sort "{zero,one}"} *}
  7977 ML {* @{typ "'a => 'b"} *}
  7978 ML {* @{term "%x. x"} *}
  7979 ML {* @{prop "x == y"} *}
  7980 ML {* @{ctyp "'a => 'b"} *}
  7981 ML {* @{cterm "%x. x"} *}
  7982 ML {* @{cprop "x == y"} *}
  7983 ML {* @{thm asm_rl} *}
  7984 ML {* @{thms asm_rl} *}
  7985 ML {* @{type_name c} *}
  7986 ML {* @{type_syntax c} *}
  7987 ML {* @{const_name c} *}
  7988 ML {* @{const_syntax c} *}
  7989 ML {* @{context} *}
  7990 ML {* @{theory} *}
  7991 ML {* @{theory Pure} *}
  7992 ML {* @{theory_ref} *}
  7993 ML {* @{theory_ref Pure} *}
  7994 ML {* @{simpset} *}
  7995 ML {* @{claset} *}
  7996 ML {* @{clasimpset} *}
  7997 
  7998 The same works for sources being ``used'' within an Isar context.
  7999 
  8000 * ML in Isar: improved error reporting; extra verbosity with
  8001 ML_Context.trace enabled.
  8002 
  8003 * Pure/General/table.ML: the join operations now works via exceptions
  8004 DUP/SAME instead of type option. This is simpler in simple cases, and
  8005 admits slightly more efficient complex applications.
  8006 
  8007 * Pure: 'advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) now
  8008 use Context.generic instead of just theory.
  8009 
  8010 * Pure: datatype Context.generic joins theory/Proof.context and
  8011 provides some facilities for code that works in either kind of
  8012 context, notably GenericDataFun for uniform theory and proof data.
  8013 
  8014 * Pure: simplified internal attribute type, which is now always
  8015 Context.generic * thm -> Context.generic * thm. Global (theory) vs.
  8016 local (Proof.context) attributes have been discontinued, while
  8017 minimizing code duplication. Thm.rule_attribute and
  8018 Thm.declaration_attribute build canonical attributes; see also structure
  8019 Context for further operations on Context.generic, notably
  8020 GenericDataFun. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt attribute type
  8021 declarations and definitions.
  8022 
  8023 * Context data interfaces (Theory/Proof/GenericDataFun): removed
  8024 name/print, uninitialized data defaults to ad-hoc copy of empty value,
  8025 init only required for impure data. INCOMPATIBILITY: empty really need
  8026 to be empty (no dependencies on theory content!)
  8027 
  8028 * Pure/kernel: consts certification ignores sort constraints given in
  8029 signature declarations. (This information is not relevant to the
  8030 logic, but only for type inference.) SIGNIFICANT INTERNAL CHANGE,
  8031 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8032 
  8033 * Pure: axiomatic type classes are now purely definitional, with
  8034 explicit proofs of class axioms and super class relations performed
  8035 internally. See Pure/axclass.ML for the main internal interfaces --
  8036 notably AxClass.define_class supercedes AxClass.add_axclass, and
  8037 AxClass.axiomatize_class/classrel/arity supersede
  8038 Sign.add_classes/classrel/arities.
  8039 
  8040 * Pure/Isar: Args/Attrib parsers operate on Context.generic --
  8041 global/local versions on theory vs. Proof.context have been
  8042 discontinued; Attrib.syntax and Method.syntax have been adapted
  8043 accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt parser expressions for
  8044 attributes, methods, etc.
  8045 
  8046 * Pure: several functions of signature "... -> theory -> theory * ..."
  8047 have been reoriented to "... -> theory -> ... * theory" in order to
  8048 allow natural usage in combination with the ||>, ||>>, |-> and
  8049 fold_map combinators.
  8050 
  8051 * Pure: official theorem names (closed derivations) and additional
  8052 comments (tags) are now strictly separate.  Name hints -- which are
  8053 maintained as tags -- may be attached any time without affecting the
  8054 derivation.
  8055 
  8056 * Pure: primitive rule lift_rule now takes goal cterm instead of an
  8057 actual goal state (thm).  Use Thm.lift_rule (Thm.cprem_of st i) to
  8058 achieve the old behaviour.
  8059 
  8060 * Pure: the "Goal" constant is now called "prop", supporting a
  8061 slightly more general idea of ``protecting'' meta-level rule
  8062 statements.
  8063 
  8064 * Pure: Logic.(un)varify only works in a global context, which is now
  8065 enforced instead of silently assumed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use
  8066 Logic.legacy_(un)varify as temporary workaround.
  8067 
  8068 * Pure: structure Name provides scalable operations for generating
  8069 internal variable names, notably Name.variants etc.  This replaces
  8070 some popular functions from term.ML:
  8071 
  8072   Term.variant		->  Name.variant
  8073   Term.variantlist	->  Name.variant_list
  8074   Term.invent_names	->  Name.invent_list
  8075 
  8076 Note that low-level renaming rarely occurs in new code -- operations
  8077 from structure Variable are used instead (see below).
  8078 
  8079 * Pure: structure Variable provides fundamental operations for proper
  8080 treatment of fixed/schematic variables in a context.  For example,
  8081 Variable.import introduces fixes for schematics of given facts and
  8082 Variable.export reverses the effect (up to renaming) -- this replaces
  8083 various freeze_thaw operations.
  8084 
  8085 * Pure: structure Goal provides simple interfaces for
  8086 init/conclude/finish and tactical prove operations (replacing former
  8087 Tactic.prove).  Goal.prove is the canonical way to prove results
  8088 within a given context; Goal.prove_global is a degraded version for
  8089 theory level goals, including a global Drule.standard.  Note that
  8090 OldGoals.prove_goalw_cterm has long been obsolete, since it is
  8091 ill-behaved in a local proof context (e.g. with local fixes/assumes or
  8092 in a locale context).
  8093 
  8094 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for parsing (Syntax.parse_term etc.)
  8095 and type checking (Syntax.check_term etc.), with common combinations
  8096 (Syntax.read_term etc.). These supersede former Sign.read_term etc.
  8097 which are considered legacy and await removal.
  8098 
  8099 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for type unchecking
  8100 (Syntax.uncheck_terms etc.) and unparsing (Syntax.unparse_term etc.),
  8101 with common combinations (Syntax.pretty_term, Syntax.string_of_term
  8102 etc.).  Former Sign.pretty_term, Sign.string_of_term etc. are still
  8103 available for convenience, but refer to the very same operations using
  8104 a mere theory instead of a full context.
  8105 
  8106 * Isar: simplified treatment of user-level errors, using exception
  8107 ERROR of string uniformly.  Function error now merely raises ERROR,
  8108 without any side effect on output channels.  The Isar toplevel takes
  8109 care of proper display of ERROR exceptions.  ML code may use plain
  8110 handle/can/try; cat_error may be used to concatenate errors like this:
  8111 
  8112   ... handle ERROR msg => cat_error msg "..."
  8113 
  8114 Toplevel ML code (run directly or through the Isar toplevel) may be
  8115 embedded into the Isar toplevel with exception display/debug like
  8116 this:
  8117 
  8118   Isar.toplevel (fn () => ...)
  8119 
  8120 INCOMPATIBILITY, removed special transform_error facilities, removed
  8121 obsolete variants of user-level exceptions (ERROR_MESSAGE,
  8122 Context.PROOF, ProofContext.CONTEXT, Proof.STATE, ProofHistory.FAIL)
  8123 -- use plain ERROR instead.
  8124 
  8125 * Isar: theory setup now has type (theory -> theory), instead of a
  8126 list.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use #> to compose setup functions.
  8127 
  8128 * Isar: ML toplevel pretty printer for type Proof.context, subject to
  8129 ProofContext.debug/verbose flags.
  8130 
  8131 * Isar: Toplevel.theory_to_proof admits transactions that modify the
  8132 theory before entering a proof state.  Transactions now always see a
  8133 quasi-functional intermediate checkpoint, both in interactive and
  8134 batch mode.
  8135 
  8136 * Isar: simplified interfaces for outer syntax.  Renamed
  8137 OuterSyntax.add_keywords to OuterSyntax.keywords.  Removed
  8138 OuterSyntax.add_parsers -- this functionality is now included in
  8139 OuterSyntax.command etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8140 
  8141 * Simplifier: the simpset of a running simplification process now
  8142 contains a proof context (cf. Simplifier.the_context), which is the
  8143 very context that the initial simpset has been retrieved from (by
  8144 simpset_of/local_simpset_of).  Consequently, all plug-in components
  8145 (solver, looper etc.) may depend on arbitrary proof data.
  8146 
  8147 * Simplifier.inherit_context inherits the proof context (plus the
  8148 local bounds) of the current simplification process; any simproc
  8149 etc. that calls the Simplifier recursively should do this!  Removed
  8150 former Simplifier.inherit_bounds, which is already included here --
  8151 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Tools based on low-level rewriting may even have to
  8152 specify an explicit context using Simplifier.context/theory_context.
  8153 
  8154 * Simplifier/Classical Reasoner: more abstract interfaces
  8155 change_simpset/claset for modifying the simpset/claset reference of a
  8156 theory; raw versions simpset/claset_ref etc. have been discontinued --
  8157 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8158 
  8159 * Provers: more generic wrt. syntax of object-logics, avoid hardwired
  8160 "Trueprop" etc.
  8161 
  8162 
  8163 *** System ***
  8164 
  8165 * settings: the default heap location within ISABELLE_HOME_USER now
  8166 includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER.  This simplifies use of multiple
  8167 Isabelle installations.
  8168 
  8169 * isabelle-process: option -S (secure mode) disables some critical
  8170 operations, notably runtime compilation and evaluation of ML source
  8171 code.
  8172 
  8173 * Basic Isabelle mode for jEdit, see Isabelle/lib/jedit/.
  8174 
  8175 * Support for parallel execution, using native multicore support of
  8176 Poly/ML 5.1.  The theory loader exploits parallelism when processing
  8177 independent theories, according to the given theory header
  8178 specifications. The maximum number of worker threads is specified via
  8179 usedir option -M or the "max-threads" setting in Proof General. A
  8180 speedup factor of 1.5--3.5 can be expected on a 4-core machine, and up
  8181 to 6 on a 8-core machine.  User-code needs to observe certain
  8182 guidelines for thread-safe programming, see appendix A in the Isar
  8183 Implementation manual.
  8184 
  8185 
  8186 
  8187 New in Isabelle2005 (October 2005)
  8188 ----------------------------------
  8189 
  8190 *** General ***
  8191 
  8192 * Theory headers: the new header syntax for Isar theories is
  8193 
  8194   theory <name>
  8195   imports <theory1> ... <theoryN>
  8196   uses <file1> ... <fileM>
  8197   begin
  8198 
  8199 where the 'uses' part is optional.  The previous syntax
  8200 
  8201   theory <name> = <theory1> + ... + <theoryN>:
  8202 
  8203 will disappear in the next release.  Use isatool fixheaders to convert
  8204 existing theory files.  Note that there is no change in ancient
  8205 non-Isar theories now, but these will disappear soon.
  8206 
  8207 * Theory loader: parent theories can now also be referred to via
  8208 relative and absolute paths.
  8209 
  8210 * Command 'find_theorems' searches for a list of criteria instead of a
  8211 list of constants. Known criteria are: intro, elim, dest, name:string,
  8212 simp:term, and any term. Criteria can be preceded by '-' to select
  8213 theorems that do not match. Intro, elim, dest select theorems that
  8214 match the current goal, name:s selects theorems whose fully qualified
  8215 name contain s, and simp:term selects all simplification rules whose
  8216 lhs match term.  Any other term is interpreted as pattern and selects
  8217 all theorems matching the pattern. Available in ProofGeneral under
  8218 'ProofGeneral -> Find Theorems' or C-c C-f.  Example:
  8219 
  8220   C-c C-f (100) "(_::nat) + _ + _" intro -name: "HOL."
  8221 
  8222 prints the last 100 theorems matching the pattern "(_::nat) + _ + _",
  8223 matching the current goal as introduction rule and not having "HOL."
  8224 in their name (i.e. not being defined in theory HOL).
  8225 
  8226 * Command 'thms_containing' has been discontinued in favour of
  8227 'find_theorems'; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8228 
  8229 * Communication with Proof General is now 8bit clean, which means that
  8230 Unicode text in UTF-8 encoding may be used within theory texts (both
  8231 formal and informal parts).  Cf. option -U of the Isabelle Proof
  8232 General interface.  Here are some simple examples (cf. src/HOL/ex):
  8233 
  8234   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Hebrew.html
  8235   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Chinese.html
  8236 
  8237 * Improved efficiency of the Simplifier and, to a lesser degree, the
  8238 Classical Reasoner.  Typical big applications run around 2 times
  8239 faster.
  8240 
  8241 
  8242 *** Document preparation ***
  8243 
  8244 * Commands 'display_drafts' and 'print_drafts' perform simple output
  8245 of raw sources.  Only those symbols that do not require additional
  8246 LaTeX packages (depending on comments in isabellesym.sty) are
  8247 displayed properly, everything else is left verbatim.  isatool display
  8248 and isatool print are used as front ends (these are subject to the
  8249 DVI/PDF_VIEWER and PRINT_COMMAND settings, respectively).
  8250 
  8251 * Command tags control specific markup of certain regions of text,
  8252 notably folding and hiding.  Predefined tags include "theory" (for
  8253 theory begin and end), "proof" for proof commands, and "ML" for
  8254 commands involving ML code; the additional tags "visible" and
  8255 "invisible" are unused by default.  Users may give explicit tag
  8256 specifications in the text, e.g. ''by %invisible (auto)''.  The
  8257 interpretation of tags is determined by the LaTeX job during document
  8258 preparation: see option -V of isatool usedir, or options -n and -t of
  8259 isatool document, or even the LaTeX macros \isakeeptag, \isafoldtag,
  8260 \isadroptag.
  8261 
  8262 Several document versions may be produced at the same time via isatool
  8263 usedir (the generated index.html will link all of them).  Typical
  8264 specifications include ''-V document=theory,proof,ML'' to present
  8265 theory/proof/ML parts faithfully, ''-V outline=/proof,/ML'' to fold
  8266 proof and ML commands, and ''-V mutilated=-theory,-proof,-ML'' to omit
  8267 these parts without any formal replacement text.  The Isabelle site
  8268 default settings produce ''document'' and ''outline'' versions as
  8269 specified above.
  8270 
  8271 * Several new antiquotations:
  8272 
  8273   @{term_type term} prints a term with its type annotated;
  8274 
  8275   @{typeof term} prints the type of a term;
  8276 
  8277   @{const const} is the same as @{term const}, but checks that the
  8278   argument is a known logical constant;
  8279 
  8280   @{term_style style term} and @{thm_style style thm} print a term or
  8281   theorem applying a "style" to it
  8282 
  8283   @{ML text}
  8284 
  8285 Predefined styles are 'lhs' and 'rhs' printing the lhs/rhs of
  8286 definitions, equations, inequations etc., 'concl' printing only the
  8287 conclusion of a meta-logical statement theorem, and 'prem1' .. 'prem19'
  8288 to print the specified premise.  TermStyle.add_style provides an ML
  8289 interface for introducing further styles.  See also the "LaTeX Sugar"
  8290 document practical applications.  The ML antiquotation prints
  8291 type-checked ML expressions verbatim.
  8292 
  8293 * Markup commands 'chapter', 'section', 'subsection', 'subsubsection',
  8294 and 'text' support optional locale specification '(in loc)', which
  8295 specifies the default context for interpreting antiquotations.  For
  8296 example: 'text (in lattice) {* @{thm inf_assoc}*}'.
  8297 
  8298 * Option 'locale=NAME' of antiquotations specifies an alternative
  8299 context interpreting the subsequent argument.  For example: @{thm
  8300 [locale=lattice] inf_assoc}.
  8301 
  8302 * Proper output of proof terms (@{prf ...} and @{full_prf ...}) within
  8303 a proof context.
  8304 
  8305 * Proper output of antiquotations for theory commands involving a
  8306 proof context (such as 'locale' or 'theorem (in loc) ...').
  8307 
  8308 * Delimiters of outer tokens (string etc.) now produce separate LaTeX
  8309 macros (\isachardoublequoteopen, isachardoublequoteclose etc.).
  8310 
  8311 * isatool usedir: new option -C (default true) controls whether option
  8312 -D should include a copy of the original document directory; -C false
  8313 prevents unwanted effects such as copying of administrative CVS data.
  8314 
  8315 
  8316 *** Pure ***
  8317 
  8318 * Considerably improved version of 'constdefs' command.  Now performs
  8319 automatic type-inference of declared constants; additional support for
  8320 local structure declarations (cf. locales and HOL records), see also
  8321 isar-ref manual.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to observe strictly
  8322 sequential dependencies of definitions within a single 'constdefs'
  8323 section; moreover, the declared name needs to be an identifier.  If
  8324 all fails, consider to fall back on 'consts' and 'defs' separately.
  8325 
  8326 * Improved indexed syntax and implicit structures.  First of all,
  8327 indexed syntax provides a notational device for subscripted
  8328 application, using the new syntax \<^bsub>term\<^esub> for arbitrary
  8329 expressions.  Secondly, in a local context with structure
  8330 declarations, number indexes \<^sub>n or the empty index (default
  8331 number 1) refer to a certain fixed variable implicitly; option
  8332 show_structs controls printing of implicit structures.  Typical
  8333 applications of these concepts involve record types and locales.
  8334 
  8335 * New command 'no_syntax' removes grammar declarations (and
  8336 translations) resulting from the given syntax specification, which is
  8337 interpreted in the same manner as for the 'syntax' command.
  8338 
  8339 * 'Advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) may depend
  8340 on the signature of the theory context being presently used for
  8341 parsing/printing, see also isar-ref manual.
  8342 
  8343 * Improved 'oracle' command provides a type-safe interface to turn an
  8344 ML expression of type theory -> T -> term into a primitive rule of
  8345 type theory -> T -> thm (i.e. the functionality of Thm.invoke_oracle
  8346 is already included here); see also FOL/ex/IffExample.thy;
  8347 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8348 
  8349 * axclass: name space prefix for class "c" is now "c_class" (was "c"
  8350 before); "cI" is no longer bound, use "c.intro" instead.
  8351 INCOMPATIBILITY.  This change avoids clashes of fact bindings for
  8352 axclasses vs. locales.
  8353 
  8354 * Improved internal renaming of symbolic identifiers -- attach primes
  8355 instead of base 26 numbers.
  8356 
  8357 * New flag show_question_marks controls printing of leading question
  8358 marks in schematic variable names.
  8359 
  8360 * In schematic variable names, *any* symbol following \<^isub> or
  8361 \<^isup> is now treated as part of the base name.  For example, the
  8362 following works without printing of awkward ".0" indexes:
  8363 
  8364   lemma "x\<^isub>1 = x\<^isub>2 ==> x\<^isub>2 = x\<^isub>1"
  8365     by simp
  8366 
  8367 * Inner syntax includes (*(*nested*) comments*).
  8368 
  8369 * Pretty printer now supports unbreakable blocks, specified in mixfix
  8370 annotations as "(00...)".
  8371 
  8372 * Clear separation of logical types and nonterminals, where the latter
  8373 may only occur in 'syntax' specifications or type abbreviations.
  8374 Before that distinction was only partially implemented via type class
  8375 "logic" vs. "{}".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare cases of improper
  8376 use of 'types'/'consts' instead of 'nonterminals'/'syntax'.  Some very
  8377 exotic syntax specifications may require further adaption
  8378 (e.g. Cube/Cube.thy).
  8379 
  8380 * Removed obsolete type class "logic", use the top sort {} instead.
  8381 Note that non-logical types should be declared as 'nonterminals'
  8382 rather than 'types'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for new object-logic
  8383 specifications.
  8384 
  8385 * Attributes 'induct' and 'cases': type or set names may now be
  8386 locally fixed variables as well.
  8387 
  8388 * Simplifier: can now control the depth to which conditional rewriting
  8389 is traced via the PG menu Isabelle -> Settings -> Trace Simp Depth
  8390 Limit.
  8391 
  8392 * Simplifier: simplification procedures may now take the current
  8393 simpset into account (cf. Simplifier.simproc(_i) / mk_simproc
  8394 interface), which is very useful for calling the Simplifier
  8395 recursively.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: the 'prems' argument of simprocs
  8396 is gone -- use prems_of_ss on the simpset instead.  Moreover, the
  8397 low-level mk_simproc no longer applies Logic.varify internally, to
  8398 allow for use in a context of fixed variables.
  8399 
  8400 * thin_tac now works even if the assumption being deleted contains !!
  8401 or ==>.  More generally, erule now works even if the major premise of
  8402 the elimination rule contains !! or ==>.
  8403 
  8404 * Method 'rules' has been renamed to 'iprover'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8405 
  8406 * Reorganized bootstrapping of the Pure theories; CPure is now derived
  8407 from Pure, which contains all common declarations already.  Both
  8408 theories are defined via plain Isabelle/Isar .thy files.
  8409 INCOMPATIBILITY: elements of CPure (such as the CPure.intro /
  8410 CPure.elim / CPure.dest attributes) now appear in the Pure name space;
  8411 use isatool fixcpure to adapt your theory and ML sources.
  8412 
  8413 * New syntax 'name(i-j, i-, i, ...)' for referring to specific
  8414 selections of theorems in named facts via index ranges.
  8415 
  8416 * 'print_theorems': in theory mode, really print the difference
  8417 wrt. the last state (works for interactive theory development only),
  8418 in proof mode print all local facts (cf. 'print_facts');
  8419 
  8420 * 'hide': option '(open)' hides only base names.
  8421 
  8422 * More efficient treatment of intermediate checkpoints in interactive
  8423 theory development.
  8424 
  8425 * Code generator is now invoked via code_module (incremental code
  8426 generation) and code_library (modular code generation, ML structures
  8427 for each theory).  INCOMPATIBILITY: new keywords 'file' and 'contains'
  8428 must be quoted when used as identifiers.
  8429 
  8430 * New 'value' command for reading, evaluating and printing terms using
  8431 the code generator.  INCOMPATIBILITY: command keyword 'value' must be
  8432 quoted when used as identifier.
  8433 
  8434 
  8435 *** Locales ***
  8436 
  8437 * New commands for the interpretation of locale expressions in
  8438 theories (1), locales (2) and proof contexts (3).  These generate
  8439 proof obligations from the expression specification.  After the
  8440 obligations have been discharged, theorems of the expression are added
  8441 to the theory, target locale or proof context.  The synopsis of the
  8442 commands is a follows:
  8443 
  8444   (1) interpretation expr inst
  8445   (2) interpretation target < expr
  8446   (3) interpret expr inst
  8447 
  8448 Interpretation in theories and proof contexts require a parameter
  8449 instantiation of terms from the current context.  This is applied to
  8450 specifications and theorems of the interpreted expression.
  8451 Interpretation in locales only permits parameter renaming through the
  8452 locale expression.  Interpretation is smart in that interpretations
  8453 that are active already do not occur in proof obligations, neither are
  8454 instantiated theorems stored in duplicate.  Use 'print_interps' to
  8455 inspect active interpretations of a particular locale.  For details,
  8456 see the Isar Reference manual.  Examples can be found in
  8457 HOL/Finite_Set.thy and HOL/Algebra/UnivPoly.thy.
  8458 
  8459 INCOMPATIBILITY: former 'instantiate' has been withdrawn, use
  8460 'interpret' instead.
  8461 
  8462 * New context element 'constrains' for adding type constraints to
  8463 parameters.
  8464 
  8465 * Context expressions: renaming of parameters with syntax
  8466 redeclaration.
  8467 
  8468 * Locale declaration: 'includes' disallowed.
  8469 
  8470 * Proper static binding of attribute syntax -- i.e. types / terms /
  8471 facts mentioned as arguments are always those of the locale definition
  8472 context, independently of the context of later invocations.  Moreover,
  8473 locale operations (renaming and type / term instantiation) are applied
  8474 to attribute arguments as expected.
  8475 
  8476 INCOMPATIBILITY of the ML interface: always pass Attrib.src instead of
  8477 actual attributes; rare situations may require Attrib.attribute to
  8478 embed those attributes into Attrib.src that lack concrete syntax.
  8479 Attribute implementations need to cooperate properly with the static
  8480 binding mechanism.  Basic parsers Args.XXX_typ/term/prop and
  8481 Attrib.XXX_thm etc. already do the right thing without further
  8482 intervention.  Only unusual applications -- such as "where" or "of"
  8483 (cf. src/Pure/Isar/attrib.ML), which process arguments depending both
  8484 on the context and the facts involved -- may have to assign parsed
  8485 values to argument tokens explicitly.
  8486 
  8487 * Changed parameter management in theorem generation for long goal
  8488 statements with 'includes'.  INCOMPATIBILITY: produces a different
  8489 theorem statement in rare situations.
  8490 
  8491 * Locale inspection command 'print_locale' omits notes elements.  Use
  8492 'print_locale!' to have them included in the output.
  8493 
  8494 
  8495 *** Provers ***
  8496 
  8497 * Provers/hypsubst.ML: improved version of the subst method, for
  8498 single-step rewriting: it now works in bound variable contexts. New is
  8499 'subst (asm)', for rewriting an assumption.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may
  8500 rewrite a different subterm than the original subst method, which is
  8501 still available as 'simplesubst'.
  8502 
  8503 * Provers/quasi.ML: new transitivity reasoners for transitivity only
  8504 and quasi orders.
  8505 
  8506 * Provers/trancl.ML: new transitivity reasoner for transitive and
  8507 reflexive-transitive closure of relations.
  8508 
  8509 * Provers/blast.ML: new reference depth_limit to make blast's depth
  8510 limit (previously hard-coded with a value of 20) user-definable.
  8511 
  8512 * Provers/simplifier.ML has been moved to Pure, where Simplifier.setup
  8513 is peformed already.  Object-logics merely need to finish their
  8514 initial simpset configuration as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8515 
  8516 
  8517 *** HOL ***
  8518 
  8519 * Symbolic syntax of Hilbert Choice Operator is now as follows:
  8520 
  8521   syntax (epsilon)
  8522     "_Eps" :: "[pttrn, bool] => 'a"    ("(3\<some>_./ _)" [0, 10] 10)
  8523 
  8524 The symbol \<some> is displayed as the alternative epsilon of LaTeX
  8525 and x-symbol; use option '-m epsilon' to get it actually printed.
  8526 Moreover, the mathematically important symbolic identifier \<epsilon>
  8527 becomes available as variable, constant etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  8528 
  8529 * "x > y" abbreviates "y < x" and "x >= y" abbreviates "y <= x".
  8530 Similarly for all quantifiers: "ALL x > y" etc.  The x-symbol for >=
  8531 is \<ge>. New transitivity rules have been added to HOL/Orderings.thy to
  8532 support corresponding Isar calculations.
  8533 
  8534 * "{x:A. P}" abbreviates "{x. x:A & P}", and similarly for "\<in>"
  8535 instead of ":".
  8536 
  8537 * theory SetInterval: changed the syntax for open intervals:
  8538 
  8539   Old       New
  8540   {..n(}    {..<n}
  8541   {)n..}    {n<..}
  8542   {m..n(}   {m..<n}
  8543   {)m..n}   {m<..n}
  8544   {)m..n(}  {m<..<n}
  8545 
  8546 The old syntax is still supported but will disappear in the next
  8547 release.  For conversion use the following Emacs search and replace
  8548 patterns (these are not perfect but work quite well):
  8549 
  8550   {)\([^\.]*\)\.\.  ->  {\1<\.\.}
  8551   \.\.\([^(}]*\)(}  ->  \.\.<\1}
  8552 
  8553 * Theory Commutative_Ring (in Library): method comm_ring for proving
  8554 equalities in commutative rings; method 'algebra' provides a generic
  8555 interface.
  8556 
  8557 * Theory Finite_Set: changed the syntax for 'setsum', summation over
  8558 finite sets: "setsum (%x. e) A", which used to be "\<Sum>x:A. e", is
  8559 now either "SUM x:A. e" or "\<Sum>x \<in> A. e". The bound variable can
  8560 be a tuple pattern.
  8561 
  8562 Some new syntax forms are available:
  8563 
  8564   "\<Sum>x | P. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {x. P}"
  8565   "\<Sum>x = a..b. e"   for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..b}"
  8566   "\<Sum>x = a..<b. e"  for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..<b}"
  8567   "\<Sum>x < k. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {..<k}"
  8568 
  8569 The latter form "\<Sum>x < k. e" used to be based on a separate
  8570 function "Summation", which has been discontinued.
  8571 
  8572 * theory Finite_Set: in structured induction proofs, the insert case
  8573 is now 'case (insert x F)' instead of the old counterintuitive 'case
  8574 (insert F x)'.
  8575 
  8576 * The 'refute' command has been extended to support a much larger
  8577 fragment of HOL, including axiomatic type classes, constdefs and
  8578 typedefs, inductive datatypes and recursion.
  8579 
  8580 * New tactics 'sat' and 'satx' to prove propositional tautologies.
  8581 Requires zChaff with proof generation to be installed.  See
  8582 HOL/ex/SAT_Examples.thy for examples.
  8583 
  8584 * Datatype induction via method 'induct' now preserves the name of the
  8585 induction variable. For example, when proving P(xs::'a list) by
  8586 induction on xs, the induction step is now P(xs) ==> P(a#xs) rather
  8587 than P(list) ==> P(a#list) as previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  8588 in unstructured proof scripts.
  8589 
  8590 * Reworked implementation of records.  Improved scalability for
  8591 records with many fields, avoiding performance problems for type
  8592 inference. Records are no longer composed of nested field types, but
  8593 of nested extension types. Therefore the record type only grows linear
  8594 in the number of extensions and not in the number of fields.  The
  8595 top-level (users) view on records is preserved.  Potential
  8596 INCOMPATIBILITY only in strange cases, where the theory depends on the
  8597 old record representation. The type generated for a record is called
  8598 <record_name>_ext_type.
  8599 
  8600 Flag record_quick_and_dirty_sensitive can be enabled to skip the
  8601 proofs triggered by a record definition or a simproc (if
  8602 quick_and_dirty is enabled).  Definitions of large records can take
  8603 quite long.
  8604 
  8605 New simproc record_upd_simproc for simplification of multiple record
  8606 updates enabled by default.  Moreover, trivial updates are also
  8607 removed: r(|x := x r|) = r.  INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break
  8608 occasionally, since simplification is more powerful by default.
  8609 
  8610 * typedef: proper support for polymorphic sets, which contain extra
  8611 type-variables in the term.
  8612 
  8613 * Simplifier: automatically reasons about transitivity chains
  8614 involving "trancl" (r^+) and "rtrancl" (r^*) by setting up tactics
  8615 provided by Provers/trancl.ML as additional solvers.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  8616 old proofs break occasionally as simplification may now solve more
  8617 goals than previously.
  8618 
  8619 * Simplifier: converts x <= y into x = y if assumption y <= x is
  8620 present.  Works for all partial orders (class "order"), in particular
  8621 numbers and sets.  For linear orders (e.g. numbers) it treats ~ x < y
  8622 just like y <= x.
  8623 
  8624 * Simplifier: new simproc for "let x = a in f x".  If a is a free or
  8625 bound variable or a constant then the let is unfolded.  Otherwise
  8626 first a is simplified to b, and then f b is simplified to g. If
  8627 possible we abstract b from g arriving at "let x = b in h x",
  8628 otherwise we unfold the let and arrive at g.  The simproc can be
  8629 enabled/disabled by the reference use_let_simproc.  Potential
  8630 INCOMPATIBILITY since simplification is more powerful by default.
  8631 
  8632 * Classical reasoning: the meson method now accepts theorems as arguments.
  8633 
  8634 * Prover support: pre-release of the Isabelle-ATP linkup, which runs background
  8635 jobs to provide advice on the provability of subgoals.
  8636 
  8637 * Theory OrderedGroup and Ring_and_Field: various additions and
  8638 improvements to faciliate calculations involving equalities and
  8639 inequalities.
  8640 
  8641 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  8642 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8643 
  8644   abs_eq             now named abs_of_nonneg
  8645   abs_of_ge_0        now named abs_of_nonneg
  8646   abs_minus_eq       now named abs_of_nonpos
  8647   imp_abs_id         now named abs_of_nonneg
  8648   imp_abs_neg_id     now named abs_of_nonpos
  8649   mult_pos           now named mult_pos_pos
  8650   mult_pos_le        now named mult_nonneg_nonneg
  8651   mult_pos_neg_le    now named mult_nonneg_nonpos
  8652   mult_pos_neg2_le   now named mult_nonneg_nonpos2
  8653   mult_neg           now named mult_neg_neg
  8654   mult_neg_le        now named mult_nonpos_nonpos
  8655 
  8656 * The following lemmas in Ring_and_Field have been added to the simplifier:
  8657 
  8658      zero_le_square
  8659      not_square_less_zero
  8660 
  8661   The following lemmas have been deleted from Real/RealPow:
  8662 
  8663      realpow_zero_zero
  8664      realpow_two
  8665      realpow_less
  8666      zero_le_power
  8667      realpow_two_le
  8668      abs_realpow_two
  8669      realpow_two_abs
  8670 
  8671 * Theory Parity: added rules for simplifying exponents.
  8672 
  8673 * Theory List:
  8674 
  8675 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  8676 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8677 
  8678   list_all_Nil       now named list_all.simps(1)
  8679   list_all_Cons      now named list_all.simps(2)
  8680   list_all_conv      now named list_all_iff
  8681   set_mem_eq         now named mem_iff
  8682 
  8683 * Theories SetsAndFunctions and BigO (see HOL/Library) support
  8684 asymptotic "big O" calculations.  See the notes in BigO.thy.
  8685 
  8686 
  8687 *** HOL-Complex ***
  8688 
  8689 * Theory RealDef: better support for embedding natural numbers and
  8690 integers in the reals.
  8691 
  8692 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  8693 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8694 
  8695   exp_ge_add_one_self  now requires no hypotheses
  8696   real_of_int_add      reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8697   real_of_int_minus    reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8698   real_of_int_diff     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8699   real_of_int_mult     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8700 
  8701 * Theory RComplete: expanded support for floor and ceiling functions.
  8702 
  8703 * Theory Ln is new, with properties of the natural logarithm
  8704 
  8705 * Hyperreal: There is a new type constructor "star" for making
  8706 nonstandard types.  The old type names are now type synonyms:
  8707 
  8708   hypreal = real star
  8709   hypnat = nat star
  8710   hcomplex = complex star
  8711 
  8712 * Hyperreal: Many groups of similarly-defined constants have been
  8713 replaced by polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8714 
  8715   star_of <-- hypreal_of_real, hypnat_of_nat, hcomplex_of_complex
  8716 
  8717   starset      <-- starsetNat, starsetC
  8718   *s*          <-- *sNat*, *sc*
  8719   starset_n    <-- starsetNat_n, starsetC_n
  8720   *sn*         <-- *sNatn*, *scn*
  8721   InternalSets <-- InternalNatSets, InternalCSets
  8722 
  8723   starfun      <-- starfun{Nat,Nat2,C,RC,CR}
  8724   *f*          <-- *fNat*, *fNat2*, *fc*, *fRc*, *fcR*
  8725   starfun_n    <-- starfun{Nat,Nat2,C,RC,CR}_n
  8726   *fn*         <-- *fNatn*, *fNat2n*, *fcn*, *fRcn*, *fcRn*
  8727   InternalFuns <-- InternalNatFuns, InternalNatFuns2, Internal{C,RC,CR}Funs
  8728 
  8729 * Hyperreal: Many type-specific theorems have been removed in favor of
  8730 theorems specific to various axiomatic type classes (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8731 
  8732   add_commute <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_commute
  8733   add_assoc   <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_assocs
  8734   OrderedGroup.add_0 <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_zero_left
  8735   OrderedGroup.add_0_right <-- {hypreal,hcomplex}_add_zero_right
  8736   right_minus <-- hypreal_add_minus
  8737   left_minus <-- {hypreal,hcomplex}_add_minus_left
  8738   mult_commute <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_mult_commute
  8739   mult_assoc <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_mult_assoc
  8740   mult_1_left <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_mult_1, hcomplex_mult_one_left
  8741   mult_1_right <-- hcomplex_mult_one_right
  8742   mult_zero_left <-- hcomplex_mult_zero_left
  8743   left_distrib <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_mult_distrib
  8744   right_distrib <-- hypnat_add_mult_distrib2
  8745   zero_neq_one <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_zero_not_eq_one
  8746   right_inverse <-- hypreal_mult_inverse
  8747   left_inverse <-- hypreal_mult_inverse_left, hcomplex_mult_inv_left
  8748   order_refl <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_le_refl
  8749   order_trans <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_le_trans
  8750   order_antisym <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_le_anti_sym
  8751   order_less_le <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_less_le
  8752   linorder_linear <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_le_linear
  8753   add_left_mono <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_add_left_mono
  8754   mult_strict_left_mono <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_mult_less_mono2
  8755   add_nonneg_nonneg <-- hypreal_le_add_order
  8756 
  8757 * Hyperreal: Separate theorems having to do with type-specific
  8758 versions of constants have been merged into theorems that apply to the
  8759 new polymorphic constants (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8760 
  8761   STAR_UNIV_set <-- {STAR_real,NatStar_real,STARC_complex}_set
  8762   STAR_empty_set <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_empty_set
  8763   STAR_Un <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_Un
  8764   STAR_Int <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_Int
  8765   STAR_Compl <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_Compl
  8766   STAR_subset <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_subset
  8767   STAR_mem <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_mem
  8768   STAR_mem_Compl <-- {STAR,STARC}_mem_Compl
  8769   STAR_diff <-- {STAR,STARC}_diff
  8770   STAR_star_of_image_subset <-- {STAR_hypreal_of_real, NatStar_hypreal_of_real,

  8849 
  8850 * Hyperreal: new method "transfer" that implements the transfer
  8851 principle of nonstandard analysis. With a subgoal that mentions
  8852 nonstandard types like "'a star", the command "apply transfer"
  8853 replaces it with an equivalent one that mentions only standard types.
  8854 To be successful, all free variables must have standard types; non-
  8855 standard variables must have explicit universal quantifiers.
  8856 
  8857 * Hyperreal: A theory of Taylor series.
  8858 
  8859 
  8860 *** HOLCF ***
  8861 
  8862 * Discontinued special version of 'constdefs' (which used to support
  8863 continuous functions) in favor of the general Pure one with full
  8864 type-inference.
  8865 
  8866 * New simplification procedure for solving continuity conditions; it
  8867 is much faster on terms with many nested lambda abstractions (cubic
  8868 instead of exponential time).
  8869 
  8870 * New syntax for domain package: selector names are now optional.
  8871 Parentheses should be omitted unless argument is lazy, for example:
  8872 
  8873   domain 'a stream = cons "'a" (lazy "'a stream")
  8874 
  8875 * New command 'fixrec' for defining recursive functions with pattern
  8876 matching; defining multiple functions with mutual recursion is also
  8877 supported.  Patterns may include the constants cpair, spair, up, sinl,
  8878 sinr, or any data constructor defined by the domain package. The given
  8879 equations are proven as rewrite rules. See HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  8880 syntax and examples.
  8881 
  8882 * New commands 'cpodef' and 'pcpodef' for defining predicate subtypes
  8883 of cpo and pcpo types. Syntax is exactly like the 'typedef' command,
  8884 but the proof obligation additionally includes an admissibility
  8885 requirement. The packages generate instances of class cpo or pcpo,
  8886 with continuity and strictness theorems for Rep and Abs.
  8887 
  8888 * HOLCF: Many theorems have been renamed according to a more standard naming
  8889 scheme (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8890 
  8891   foo_inject:  "foo$x = foo$y ==> x = y"
  8892   foo_eq:      "(foo$x = foo$y) = (x = y)"
  8893   foo_less:    "(foo$x << foo$y) = (x << y)"
  8894   foo_strict:  "foo$UU = UU"
  8895   foo_defined: "... ==> foo$x ~= UU"
  8896   foo_defined_iff: "(foo$x = UU) = (x = UU)"
  8897 
  8898 
  8899 *** ZF ***
  8900 
  8901 * ZF/ex: theories Group and Ring provide examples in abstract algebra,
  8902 including the First Isomorphism Theorem (on quotienting by the kernel
  8903 of a homomorphism).
  8904 
  8905 * ZF/Simplifier: install second copy of type solver that actually
  8906 makes use of TC rules declared to Isar proof contexts (or locales);
  8907 the old version is still required for ML proof scripts.
  8908 
  8909 
  8910 *** Cube ***
  8911 
  8912 * Converted to Isar theory format; use locales instead of axiomatic
  8913 theories.
  8914 
  8915 
  8916 *** ML ***
  8917 
  8918 * Pure/library.ML: added ##>, ##>>, #>> -- higher-order counterparts
  8919 for ||>, ||>>, |>>,
  8920 
  8921 * Pure/library.ML no longer defines its own option datatype, but uses
  8922 that of the SML basis, which has constructors NONE and SOME instead of
  8923 None and Some, as well as exception Option.Option instead of OPTION.
  8924 The functions the, if_none, is_some, is_none have been adapted
  8925 accordingly, while Option.map replaces apsome.
  8926 
  8927 * Pure/library.ML: the exception LIST has been given up in favour of
  8928 the standard exceptions Empty and Subscript, as well as
  8929 Library.UnequalLengths.  Function like Library.hd and Library.tl are
  8930 superceded by the standard hd and tl functions etc.
  8931 
  8932 A number of basic list functions are no longer exported to the ML
  8933 toplevel, as they are variants of predefined functions.  The following
  8934 suggests how one can translate existing code:
  8935 
  8936     rev_append xs ys = List.revAppend (xs, ys)
  8937     nth_elem (i, xs) = List.nth (xs, i)
  8938     last_elem xs = List.last xs
  8939     flat xss = List.concat xss
  8940     seq fs = List.app fs
  8941     partition P xs = List.partition P xs
  8942     mapfilter f xs = List.mapPartial f xs
  8943 
  8944 * Pure/library.ML: several combinators for linear functional
  8945 transformations, notably reverse application and composition:
  8946 
  8947   x |> f                f #> g
  8948   (x, y) |-> f          f #-> g
  8949 
  8950 * Pure/library.ML: introduced/changed precedence of infix operators:
  8951 
  8952   infix 1 |> |-> ||> ||>> |>> |>>> #> #->;
  8953   infix 2 ?;
  8954   infix 3 o oo ooo oooo;
  8955   infix 4 ~~ upto downto;
  8956 
  8957 Maybe INCOMPATIBILITY when any of those is used in conjunction with other
  8958 infix operators.
  8959 
  8960 * Pure/library.ML: natural list combinators fold, fold_rev, and
  8961 fold_map support linear functional transformations and nesting.  For
  8962 example:
  8963 
  8964   fold f [x1, ..., xN] y =
  8965     y |> f x1 |> ... |> f xN
  8966 
  8967   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] y =
  8968     y |> fold f xs1 |> ... |> fold f xsN
  8969 
  8970   fold f [x1, ..., xN] =
  8971     f x1 #> ... #> f xN
  8972 
  8973   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] =
  8974     fold f xs1 #> ... #> fold f xsN
  8975 
  8976 * Pure/library.ML: the following selectors on type 'a option are
  8977 available:
  8978 
  8979   the:               'a option -> 'a  (*partial*)
  8980   these:             'a option -> 'a  where 'a = 'b list
  8981   the_default: 'a -> 'a option -> 'a
  8982   the_list:          'a option -> 'a list
  8983 
  8984 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  8985 basic operations for association lists, following natural argument
  8986 order; moreover the explicit equality predicate passed here avoids
  8987 potentially expensive polymorphic runtime equality checks.
  8988 The old functions may be expressed as follows:
  8989 
  8990   assoc = uncurry (AList.lookup (op =))
  8991   assocs = these oo AList.lookup (op =)
  8992   overwrite = uncurry (AList.update (op =)) o swap
  8993 
  8994 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  8995 
  8996   val make: ('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> ('a * 'b) list
  8997   val find: ('a * 'b -> bool) -> ('c * 'b) list -> 'a -> 'c list
  8998 
  8999 replacing make_keylist and keyfilter (occassionally used)
  9000 Naive rewrites:
  9001 
  9002   make_keylist = AList.make
  9003   keyfilter = AList.find (op =)
  9004 
  9005 * eq_fst and eq_snd now take explicit equality parameter, thus
  9006   avoiding eqtypes. Naive rewrites:
  9007 
  9008     eq_fst = eq_fst (op =)
  9009     eq_snd = eq_snd (op =)
  9010 
  9011 * Removed deprecated apl and apr (rarely used).
  9012   Naive rewrites:
  9013 
  9014     apl (n, op) =>>= curry op n
  9015     apr (op, m) =>>= fn n => op (n, m)
  9016 
  9017 * Pure/General: structure OrdList (cf. Pure/General/ord_list.ML)
  9018 provides a reasonably efficient light-weight implementation of sets as
  9019 lists.
  9020 
  9021 * Pure/General: generic tables (cf. Pure/General/table.ML) provide a
  9022 few new operations; existing lookup and update are now curried to
  9023 follow natural argument order (for use with fold etc.);
  9024 INCOMPATIBILITY, use (uncurry Symtab.lookup) etc. as last resort.
  9025 
  9026 * Pure/General: output via the Isabelle channels of
  9027 writeln/warning/error etc. is now passed through Output.output, with a
  9028 hook for arbitrary transformations depending on the print_mode
  9029 (cf. Output.add_mode -- the first active mode that provides a output
  9030 function wins).  Already formatted output may be embedded into further
  9031 text via Output.raw; the result of Pretty.string_of/str_of and derived
  9032 functions (string_of_term/cterm/thm etc.) is already marked raw to
  9033 accommodate easy composition of diagnostic messages etc.  Programmers
  9034 rarely need to care about Output.output or Output.raw at all, with
  9035 some notable exceptions: Output.output is required when bypassing the
  9036 standard channels (writeln etc.), or in token translations to produce
  9037 properly formatted results; Output.raw is required when capturing
  9038 already output material that will eventually be presented to the user
  9039 a second time.  For the default print mode, both Output.output and
  9040 Output.raw have no effect.
  9041 
  9042 * Pure/General: Output.time_accumulator NAME creates an operator ('a
  9043 -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'b to measure runtime and count invocations; the
  9044 cumulative results are displayed at the end of a batch session.
  9045 
  9046 * Pure/General: File.sysify_path and File.quote_sysify path have been
  9047 replaced by File.platform_path and File.shell_path (with appropriate
  9048 hooks).  This provides a clean interface for unusual systems where the
  9049 internal and external process view of file names are different.
  9050 
  9051 * Pure: more efficient orders for basic syntactic entities: added
  9052 fast_string_ord, fast_indexname_ord, fast_term_ord; changed sort_ord
  9053 and typ_ord to use fast_string_ord and fast_indexname_ord (term_ord is
  9054 NOT affected); structures Symtab, Vartab, Typtab, Termtab use the fast
  9055 orders now -- potential INCOMPATIBILITY for code that depends on a
  9056 particular order for Symtab.keys, Symtab.dest, etc. (consider using
  9057 Library.sort_strings on result).
  9058 
  9059 * Pure/term.ML: combinators fold_atyps, fold_aterms, fold_term_types,
  9060 fold_types traverse types/terms from left to right, observing natural
  9061 argument order.  Supercedes previous foldl_XXX versions, add_frees,
  9062 add_vars etc. have been adapted as well: INCOMPATIBILITY.
  9063 
  9064 * Pure: name spaces have been refined, with significant changes of the
  9065 internal interfaces -- INCOMPATIBILITY.  Renamed cond_extern(_table)
  9066 to extern(_table).  The plain name entry path is superceded by a
  9067 general 'naming' context, which also includes the 'policy' to produce
  9068 a fully qualified name and external accesses of a fully qualified
  9069 name; NameSpace.extend is superceded by context dependent
  9070 Sign.declare_name.  Several theory and proof context operations modify
  9071 the naming context.  Especially note Theory.restore_naming and
  9072 ProofContext.restore_naming to get back to a sane state; note that
  9073 Theory.add_path is no longer sufficient to recover from
  9074 Theory.absolute_path in particular.
  9075 
  9076 * Pure: new flags short_names (default false) and unique_names
  9077 (default true) for controlling output of qualified names.  If
  9078 short_names is set, names are printed unqualified.  If unique_names is
  9079 reset, the name prefix is reduced to the minimum required to achieve
  9080 the original result when interning again, even if there is an overlap
  9081 with earlier declarations.
  9082 
  9083 * Pure/TheoryDataFun: change of the argument structure; 'prep_ext' is
  9084 now 'extend', and 'merge' gets an additional Pretty.pp argument
  9085 (useful for printing error messages).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  9086 
  9087 * Pure: major reorganization of the theory context.  Type Sign.sg and
  9088 Theory.theory are now identified, referring to the universal
  9089 Context.theory (see Pure/context.ML).  Actual signature and theory
  9090 content is managed as theory data.  The old code and interfaces were
  9091 spread over many files and structures; the new arrangement introduces
  9092 considerable INCOMPATIBILITY to gain more clarity:
  9093 
  9094   Context -- theory management operations (name, identity, inclusion,
  9095     parents, ancestors, merge, etc.), plus generic theory data;
  9096 
  9097   Sign -- logical signature and syntax operations (declaring consts,
  9098     types, etc.), plus certify/read for common entities;
  9099 
  9100   Theory -- logical theory operations (stating axioms, definitions,
  9101     oracles), plus a copy of logical signature operations (consts,
  9102     types, etc.); also a few basic management operations (Theory.copy,
  9103     Theory.merge, etc.)
  9104 
  9105 The most basic sign_of operations (Theory.sign_of, Thm.sign_of_thm
  9106 etc.) as well as the sign field in Thm.rep_thm etc. have been retained
  9107 for convenience -- they merely return the theory.
  9108 
  9109 * Pure: type Type.tsig is superceded by theory in most interfaces.
  9110 
  9111 * Pure: the Isar proof context type is already defined early in Pure
  9112 as Context.proof (note that ProofContext.context and Proof.context are
  9113 aliases, where the latter is the preferred name).  This enables other
  9114 Isabelle components to refer to that type even before Isar is present.
  9115 
  9116 * Pure/sign/theory: discontinued named name spaces (i.e. classK,
  9117 typeK, constK, axiomK, oracleK), but provide explicit operations for
  9118 any of these kinds.  For example, Sign.intern typeK is now
  9119 Sign.intern_type, Theory.hide_space Sign.typeK is now
  9120 Theory.hide_types.  Also note that former
  9121 Theory.hide_classes/types/consts are now
  9122 Theory.hide_classes_i/types_i/consts_i, while the non '_i' versions
  9123 internalize their arguments!  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  9124 
  9125 * Pure: get_thm interface (of PureThy and ProofContext) expects
  9126 datatype thmref (with constructors Name and NameSelection) instead of
  9127 plain string -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9128 
  9129 * Pure: cases produced by proof methods specify options, where NONE
  9130 means to remove case bindings -- INCOMPATIBILITY in
  9131 (RAW_)METHOD_CASES.
  9132 
  9133 * Pure: the following operations retrieve axioms or theorems from a
  9134 theory node or theory hierarchy, respectively:
  9135 
  9136   Theory.axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  9137   Theory.all_axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  9138   PureThy.thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  9139   PureThy.all_thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  9140 
  9141 * Pure: print_tac now outputs the goal through the trace channel.
  9142 
  9143 * Isar toplevel: improved diagnostics, mostly for Poly/ML only.
  9144 Reference Toplevel.debug (default false) controls detailed printing
  9145 and tracing of low-level exceptions; Toplevel.profiling (default 0)
  9146 controls execution profiling -- set to 1 for time and 2 for space
  9147 (both increase the runtime).
  9148 
  9149 * Isar session: The initial use of ROOT.ML is now always timed,
  9150 i.e. the log will show the actual process times, in contrast to the
  9151 elapsed wall-clock time that the outer shell wrapper produces.
  9152 
  9153 * Simplifier: improved handling of bound variables (nameless
  9154 representation, avoid allocating new strings).  Simprocs that invoke
  9155 the Simplifier recursively should use Simplifier.inherit_bounds to
  9156 avoid local name clashes.  Failure to do so produces warnings
  9157 "Simplifier: renamed bound variable ..."; set Simplifier.debug_bounds
  9158 for further details.
  9159 
  9160 * ML functions legacy_bindings and use_legacy_bindings produce ML fact
  9161 bindings for all theorems stored within a given theory; this may help
  9162 in porting non-Isar theories to Isar ones, while keeping ML proof
  9163 scripts for the time being.
  9164 
  9165 * ML operator HTML.with_charset specifies the charset begin used for
  9166 generated HTML files.  For example:
  9167 
  9168   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Hebrew";
  9169   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Chinese";
  9170 
  9171 
  9172 *** System ***
  9173 
  9174 * Allow symlinks to all proper Isabelle executables (Isabelle,
  9175 isabelle, isatool etc.).
  9176 
  9177 * ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT setting specifies preferred document format (for
  9178 isatool doc, isatool mkdir, display_drafts etc.).
  9179 
  9180 * isatool usedir: option -f allows specification of the ML file to be
  9181 used by Isabelle; default is ROOT.ML.
  9182 
  9183 * New isatool version outputs the version identifier of the Isabelle
  9184 distribution being used.
  9185 
  9186 * HOL: new isatool dimacs2hol converts files in DIMACS CNF format
  9187 (containing Boolean satisfiability problems) into Isabelle/HOL
  9188 theories.
  9189 
  9190 
  9191 
  9192 New in Isabelle2004 (April 2004)
  9193 --------------------------------
  9194 
  9195 *** General ***
  9196 
  9197 * Provers/order.ML:  new efficient reasoner for partial and linear orders.
  9198   Replaces linorder.ML.
  9199 
  9200 * Pure: Greek letters (except small lambda, \<lambda>), as well as Gothic
  9201   (\<aa>...\<zz>\<AA>...\<ZZ>), calligraphic (\<A>...\<Z>), and Euler
  9202   (\<a>...\<z>), are now considered normal letters, and can therefore
  9203   be used anywhere where an ASCII letter (a...zA...Z) has until
  9204   now. COMPATIBILITY: This obviously changes the parsing of some
  9205   terms, especially where a symbol has been used as a binder, say
  9206   '\<Pi>x. ...', which is now a type error since \<Pi>x will be parsed
  9207   as an identifier.  Fix it by inserting a space around former
  9208   symbols.  Call 'isatool fixgreek' to try to fix parsing errors in
  9209   existing theory and ML files.
  9210 
  9211 * Pure: Macintosh and Windows line-breaks are now allowed in theory files.
  9212 
  9213 * Pure: single letter sub/superscripts (\<^isub> and \<^isup>) are now
  9214   allowed in identifiers. Similar to Greek letters \<^isub> is now considered
  9215   a normal (but invisible) letter. For multiple letter subscripts repeat
  9216   \<^isub> like this: x\<^isub>1\<^isub>2.
  9217 
  9218 * Pure: There are now sub-/superscripts that can span more than one
  9219   character. Text between \<^bsub> and \<^esub> is set in subscript in
  9220   ProofGeneral and LaTeX, text between \<^bsup> and \<^esup> in
  9221   superscript. The new control characters are not identifier parts.
  9222 
  9223 * Pure: Control-symbols of the form \<^raw:...> will literally print the
  9224   content of "..." to the latex file instead of \isacntrl... . The "..."
  9225   may consist of any printable characters excluding the end bracket >.
  9226 
  9227 * Pure: Using new Isar command "finalconsts" (or the ML functions
  9228   Theory.add_finals or Theory.add_finals_i) it is now possible to
  9229   declare constants "final", which prevents their being given a definition
  9230   later.  It is useful for constants whose behaviour is fixed axiomatically
  9231   rather than definitionally, such as the meta-logic connectives.
  9232 
  9233 * Pure: 'instance' now handles general arities with general sorts
  9234   (i.e. intersections of classes),
  9235 
  9236 * Presentation: generated HTML now uses a CSS style sheet to make layout
  9237   (somewhat) independent of content. It is copied from lib/html/isabelle.css.
  9238   It can be changed to alter the colors/layout of generated pages.
  9239 
  9240 
  9241 *** Isar ***
  9242 
  9243 * Tactic emulation methods rule_tac, erule_tac, drule_tac, frule_tac,
  9244   cut_tac, subgoal_tac and thin_tac:
  9245   - Now understand static (Isar) contexts.  As a consequence, users of Isar
  9246     locales are no longer forced to write Isar proof scripts.
  9247     For details see Isar Reference Manual, paragraph 4.3.2: Further tactic
  9248     emulations.
  9249   - INCOMPATIBILITY: names of variables to be instantiated may no
  9250     longer be enclosed in quotes.  Instead, precede variable name with `?'.
  9251     This is consistent with the instantiation attribute "where".
  9252 
  9253 * Attributes "where" and "of":
  9254   - Now take type variables of instantiated theorem into account when reading
  9255     the instantiation string.  This fixes a bug that caused instantiated
  9256     theorems to have too special types in some circumstances.
  9257   - "where" permits explicit instantiations of type variables.
  9258 
  9259 * Calculation commands "moreover" and "also" no longer interfere with
  9260   current facts ("this"), admitting arbitrary combinations with "then"
  9261   and derived forms.
  9262 
  9263 * Locales:
  9264   - Goal statements involving the context element "includes" no longer
  9265     generate theorems with internal delta predicates (those ending on
  9266     "_axioms") in the premise.
  9267     Resolve particular premise with <locale>.intro to obtain old form.
  9268   - Fixed bug in type inference ("unify_frozen") that prevented mix of target
  9269     specification and "includes" elements in goal statement.
  9270   - Rule sets <locale>.intro and <locale>.axioms no longer declared as
  9271     [intro?] and [elim?] (respectively) by default.
  9272   - Experimental command for instantiation of locales in proof contexts:
  9273         instantiate <label>[<attrs>]: <loc>
  9274     Instantiates locale <loc> and adds all its theorems to the current context
  9275     taking into account their attributes.  Label and attrs are optional
  9276     modifiers, like in theorem declarations.  If present, names of
  9277     instantiated theorems are qualified with <label>, and the attributes
  9278     <attrs> are applied after any attributes these theorems might have already.
  9279       If the locale has assumptions, a chained fact of the form
  9280     "<loc> t1 ... tn" is expected from which instantiations of the parameters
  9281     are derived.  The command does not support old-style locales declared
  9282     with "locale (open)".
  9283       A few (very simple) examples can be found in FOL/ex/LocaleInst.thy.
  9284 
  9285 * HOL: Tactic emulation methods induct_tac and case_tac understand static
  9286   (Isar) contexts.
  9287 
  9288 
  9289 *** HOL ***
  9290 
  9291 * Proof import: new image HOL4 contains the imported library from
  9292   the HOL4 system with about 2500 theorems. It is imported by
  9293   replaying proof terms produced by HOL4 in Isabelle. The HOL4 image
  9294   can be used like any other Isabelle image.  See
  9295   HOL/Import/HOL/README for more information.
  9296 
  9297 * Simplifier:
  9298   - Much improved handling of linear and partial orders.
  9299     Reasoners for linear and partial orders are set up for type classes
  9300     "linorder" and "order" respectively, and are added to the default simpset
  9301     as solvers.  This means that the simplifier can build transitivity chains
  9302     to solve goals from the assumptions.
  9303   - INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break occasionally.  Typically, applications
  9304     of blast or auto after simplification become unnecessary because the goal
  9305     is solved by simplification already.
  9306 
  9307 * Numerics: new theory Ring_and_Field contains over 250 basic numerical laws,
  9308     all proved in axiomatic type classes for semirings, rings and fields.
  9309 
  9310 * Numerics:
  9311   - Numeric types (nat, int, and in HOL-Complex rat, real, complex, etc.) are
  9312     now formalized using the Ring_and_Field theory mentioned above.
  9313   - INCOMPATIBILITY: simplification and arithmetic behaves somewhat differently
  9314     than before, because now they are set up once in a generic manner.
  9315   - INCOMPATIBILITY: many type-specific arithmetic laws have gone.
  9316     Look for the general versions in Ring_and_Field (and Power if they concern
  9317     exponentiation).
  9318 
  9319 * Type "rat" of the rational numbers is now available in HOL-Complex.
  9320 
  9321 * Records:
  9322   - Record types are now by default printed with their type abbreviation
  9323     instead of the list of all field types. This can be configured via
  9324     the reference "print_record_type_abbr".
  9325   - Simproc "record_upd_simproc" for simplification of multiple updates added
  9326     (not enabled by default).
  9327   - Simproc "record_ex_sel_eq_simproc" to simplify EX x. sel r = x resp.
  9328     EX x. x = sel r to True (not enabled by default).
  9329   - Tactic "record_split_simp_tac" to split and simplify records added.
  9330 
  9331 * 'specification' command added, allowing for definition by
  9332   specification.  There is also an 'ax_specification' command that
  9333   introduces the new constants axiomatically.
  9334 
  9335 * arith(_tac) is now able to generate counterexamples for reals as well.
  9336 
  9337 * HOL-Algebra: new locale "ring" for non-commutative rings.
  9338 
  9339 * HOL-ex: InductiveInvariant_examples illustrates advanced recursive function
  9340   definitions, thanks to Sava Krsti\'{c} and John Matthews.
  9341 
  9342 * HOL-Matrix: a first theory for matrices in HOL with an application of
  9343   matrix theory to linear programming.
  9344 
  9345 * Unions and Intersections:
  9346   The latex output syntax of UN and INT has been changed
  9347   from "\Union x \in A. B" to "\Union_{x \in A} B"
  9348   i.e. the index formulae has become a subscript.
  9349   Similarly for "\Union x. B", and for \Inter instead of \Union.
  9350 
  9351 * Unions and Intersections over Intervals:
  9352   There is new short syntax "UN i<=n. A" for "UN i:{0..n}. A". There is
  9353   also an x-symbol version with subscripts "\<Union>\<^bsub>i <= n\<^esub>. A"
  9354   like in normal math, and corresponding versions for < and for intersection.
  9355 
  9356 * HOL/List: Ordering "lexico" is renamed "lenlex" and the standard
  9357   lexicographic dictonary ordering has been added as "lexord".
  9358 
  9359 * ML: the legacy theory structures Int and List have been removed. They had
  9360   conflicted with ML Basis Library structures having the same names.
  9361 
  9362 * 'refute' command added to search for (finite) countermodels.  Only works
  9363   for a fragment of HOL.  The installation of an external SAT solver is
  9364   highly recommended.  See "HOL/Refute.thy" for details.
  9365 
  9366 * 'quickcheck' command: Allows to find counterexamples by evaluating
  9367   formulae under an assignment of free variables to random values.
  9368   In contrast to 'refute', it can deal with inductive datatypes,
  9369   but cannot handle quantifiers. See "HOL/ex/Quickcheck_Examples.thy"
  9370   for examples.
  9371 
  9372 
  9373 *** HOLCF ***
  9374 
  9375 * Streams now come with concatenation and are part of the HOLCF image
  9376 
  9377 
  9378 
  9379 New in Isabelle2003 (May 2003)
  9380 ------------------------------
  9381 
  9382 *** General ***
  9383 
  9384 * Provers/simplifier:
  9385 
  9386   - Completely reimplemented method simp (ML: Asm_full_simp_tac):
  9387     Assumptions are now subject to complete mutual simplification,
  9388     not just from left to right. The simplifier now preserves
  9389     the order of assumptions.
  9390 
  9391     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  9392 
  9393     -- simp sometimes diverges where the old version did
  9394        not, e.g. invoking simp on the goal
  9395 
  9396         [| P (f x); y = x; f x = f y |] ==> Q
  9397 
  9398        now gives rise to the infinite reduction sequence
  9399 
  9400         P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> P(f y) --(y = x)--> P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> ...
  9401 
  9402        Using "simp (asm_lr)" (ML: Asm_lr_simp_tac) instead often solves this
  9403        kind of problem.
  9404 
  9405     -- Tactics combining classical reasoner and simplification (such as auto)
  9406        are also affected by this change, because many of them rely on
  9407        simp. They may sometimes diverge as well or yield a different numbers
  9408        of subgoals. Try to use e.g. force, fastsimp, or safe instead of auto
  9409        in case of problems. Sometimes subsequent calls to the classical
  9410        reasoner will fail because a preceeding call to the simplifier too
  9411        eagerly simplified the goal, e.g. deleted redundant premises.
  9412 
  9413   - The simplifier trace now shows the names of the applied rewrite rules
  9414 
  9415   - You can limit the number of recursive invocations of the simplifier
  9416     during conditional rewriting (where the simplifie tries to solve the
  9417     conditions before applying the rewrite rule):
  9418     ML "simp_depth_limit := n"
  9419     where n is an integer. Thus you can force termination where previously
  9420     the simplifier would diverge.
  9421 
  9422   - Accepts free variables as head terms in congruence rules.  Useful in Isar.
  9423 
  9424   - No longer aborts on failed congruence proof.  Instead, the
  9425     congruence is ignored.
  9426 
  9427 * Pure: New generic framework for extracting programs from constructive
  9428   proofs. See HOL/Extraction.thy for an example instantiation, as well
  9429   as HOL/Extraction for some case studies.
  9430 
  9431 * Pure: The main goal of the proof state is no longer shown by default, only
  9432 the subgoals. This behaviour is controlled by a new flag.
  9433    PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Settings -> Show Main Goal
  9434 (ML: Proof.show_main_goal).
  9435 
  9436 * Pure: You can find all matching introduction rules for subgoal 1, i.e. all
  9437 rules whose conclusion matches subgoal 1:
  9438       PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Show me -> matching rules
  9439 The rules are ordered by how closely they match the subgoal.
  9440 In particular, rules that solve a subgoal outright are displayed first
  9441 (or rather last, the way they are printed).
  9442 (ML: ProofGeneral.print_intros())
  9443 
  9444 * Pure: New flag trace_unify_fail causes unification to print
  9445 diagnostic information (PG: in trace buffer) when it fails. This is
  9446 useful for figuring out why single step proofs like rule, erule or
  9447 assumption failed.
  9448 
  9449 * Pure: Locale specifications now produce predicate definitions
  9450 according to the body of text (covering assumptions modulo local
  9451 definitions); predicate "loc_axioms" covers newly introduced text,
  9452 while "loc" is cumulative wrt. all included locale expressions; the
  9453 latter view is presented only on export into the global theory
  9454 context; potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use "(open)" option to fall back
  9455 on the old view without predicates;
  9456 
  9457 * Pure: predefined locales "var" and "struct" are useful for sharing
  9458 parameters (as in CASL, for example); just specify something like
  9459 ``var x + var y + struct M'' as import;
  9460 
  9461 * Pure: improved thms_containing: proper indexing of facts instead of
  9462 raw theorems; check validity of results wrt. current name space;
  9463 include local facts of proof configuration (also covers active
  9464 locales), cover fixed variables in index; may use "_" in term
  9465 specification; an optional limit for the number of printed facts may
  9466 be given (the default is 40);
  9467 
  9468 * Pure: disallow duplicate fact bindings within new-style theory files
  9469 (batch-mode only);
  9470 
  9471 * Provers: improved induct method: assumptions introduced by case
  9472 "foo" are split into "foo.hyps" (from the rule) and "foo.prems" (from
  9473 the goal statement); "foo" still refers to all facts collectively;
  9474 
  9475 * Provers: the function blast.overloaded has been removed: all constants
  9476 are regarded as potentially overloaded, which improves robustness in exchange
  9477 for slight decrease in efficiency;
  9478 
  9479 * Provers/linorder: New generic prover for transitivity reasoning over
  9480 linear orders.  Note: this prover is not efficient!
  9481 
  9482 * Isar: preview of problems to finish 'show' now produce an error
  9483 rather than just a warning (in interactive mode);
  9484 
  9485 
  9486 *** HOL ***
  9487 
  9488 * arith(_tac)
  9489 
  9490  - Produces a counter example if it cannot prove a goal.
  9491    Note that the counter example may be spurious if the goal is not a formula
  9492    of quantifier-free linear arithmetic.
  9493    In ProofGeneral the counter example appears in the trace buffer.
  9494 
  9495  - Knows about div k and mod k where k is a numeral of type nat or int.
  9496 
  9497  - Calls full Presburger arithmetic (by Amine Chaieb) if quantifier-free
  9498    linear arithmetic fails. This takes account of quantifiers and divisibility.
  9499    Presburger arithmetic can also be called explicitly via presburger(_tac).
  9500 
  9501 * simp's arithmetic capabilities have been enhanced a bit: it now
  9502 takes ~= in premises into account (by performing a case split);
  9503 
  9504 * simp reduces "m*(n div m) + n mod m" to n, even if the two summands
  9505 are distributed over a sum of terms;
  9506 
  9507 * New tactic "trans_tac" and method "trans" instantiate
  9508 Provers/linorder.ML for axclasses "order" and "linorder" (predicates
  9509 "<=", "<" and "=").
  9510 
  9511 * function INCOMPATIBILITIES: Pi-sets have been redefined and moved from main
  9512 HOL to Library/FuncSet; constant "Fun.op o" is now called "Fun.comp";
  9513 
  9514 * 'typedef' command has new option "open" to suppress the set
  9515 definition;
  9516 
  9517 * functions Min and Max on finite sets have been introduced (theory
  9518 Finite_Set);
  9519 
  9520 * attribute [symmetric] now works for relations as well; it turns
  9521 (x,y) : R^-1 into (y,x) : R, and vice versa;
  9522 
  9523 * induct over a !!-quantified statement (say !!x1..xn):
  9524   each "case" automatically performs "fix x1 .. xn" with exactly those names.
  9525 
  9526 * Map: `empty' is no longer a constant but a syntactic abbreviation for
  9527 %x. None. Warning: empty_def now refers to the previously hidden definition
  9528 of the empty set.
  9529 
  9530 * Algebra: formalization of classical algebra.  Intended as base for
  9531 any algebraic development in Isabelle.  Currently covers group theory
  9532 (up to Sylow's theorem) and ring theory (Universal Property of
  9533 Univariate Polynomials).  Contributions welcome;
  9534 
  9535 * GroupTheory: deleted, since its material has been moved to Algebra;
  9536 
  9537 * Complex: new directory of the complex numbers with numeric constants,
  9538 nonstandard complex numbers, and some complex analysis, standard and
  9539 nonstandard (Jacques Fleuriot);
  9540 
  9541 * HOL-Complex: new image for analysis, replacing HOL-Real and HOL-Hyperreal;
  9542 
  9543 * Hyperreal: introduced Gauge integration and hyperreal logarithms (Jacques
  9544 Fleuriot);
  9545 
  9546 * Real/HahnBanach: updated and adapted to locales;
  9547 
  9548 * NumberTheory: added Gauss's law of quadratic reciprocity (by Avigad,
  9549 Gray and Kramer);
  9550 
  9551 * UNITY: added the Meier-Sanders theory of progress sets;
  9552 
  9553 * MicroJava: bytecode verifier and lightweight bytecode verifier
  9554 as abstract algorithms, instantiated to the JVM;
  9555 
  9556 * Bali: Java source language formalization. Type system, operational
  9557 semantics, axiomatic semantics. Supported language features:
  9558 classes, interfaces, objects,virtual methods, static methods,
  9559 static/instance fields, arrays, access modifiers, definite
  9560 assignment, exceptions.
  9561 
  9562 
  9563 *** ZF ***
  9564 
  9565 * ZF/Constructible: consistency proof for AC (Gdel's constructible
  9566 universe, etc.);
  9567 
  9568 * Main ZF: virtually all theories converted to new-style format;
  9569 
  9570 
  9571 *** ML ***
  9572 
  9573 * Pure: Tactic.prove provides sane interface for internal proofs;
  9574 omits the infamous "standard" operation, so this is more appropriate
  9575 than prove_goalw_cterm in many situations (e.g. in simprocs);
  9576 
  9577 * Pure: improved error reporting of simprocs;
  9578 
  9579 * Provers: Simplifier.simproc(_i) provides sane interface for setting
  9580 up simprocs;
  9581 
  9582 
  9583 *** Document preparation ***
  9584 
  9585 * uses \par instead of \\ for line breaks in theory text. This may
  9586 shift some page breaks in large documents. To get the old behaviour
  9587 use \renewcommand{\isanewline}{\mbox{}\\\mbox{}} in root.tex.
  9588 
  9589 * minimized dependencies of isabelle.sty and isabellesym.sty on
  9590 other packages
  9591 
  9592 * \<euro> now needs package babel/greek instead of marvosym (which
  9593 broke \Rightarrow)
  9594 
  9595 * normal size for \<zero>...\<nine> (uses \mathbf instead of
  9596 textcomp package)
  9597 
  9598 
  9599 
  9600 New in Isabelle2002 (March 2002)
  9601 --------------------------------
  9602 
  9603 *** Document preparation ***
  9604 
  9605 * greatly simplified document preparation setup, including more
  9606 graceful interpretation of isatool usedir -i/-d/-D options, and more
  9607 instructive isatool mkdir; users should basically be able to get
  9608 started with "isatool mkdir HOL Test && isatool make"; alternatively,
  9609 users may run a separate document processing stage manually like this:
  9610 "isatool usedir -D output HOL Test && isatool document Test/output";
  9611 
  9612 * theory dependency graph may now be incorporated into documents;
  9613 isatool usedir -g true will produce session_graph.eps/.pdf for use
  9614 with \includegraphics of LaTeX;
  9615 
  9616 * proper spacing of consecutive markup elements, especially text
  9617 blocks after section headings;
  9618 
  9619 * support bold style (for single symbols only), input syntax is like
  9620 this: "\<^bold>\<alpha>" or "\<^bold>A";
  9621 
  9622 * \<bullet> is now output as bold \cdot by default, which looks much
  9623 better in printed text;
  9624 
  9625 * added default LaTeX bindings for \<tturnstile> and \<TTurnstile>;
  9626 note that these symbols are currently unavailable in Proof General /
  9627 X-Symbol; new symbols \<zero>, \<one>, ..., \<nine>, and \<euro>;
  9628 
  9629 * isatool latex no longer depends on changed TEXINPUTS, instead
  9630 isatool document copies the Isabelle style files to the target
  9631 location;
  9632 
  9633 
  9634 *** Isar ***
  9635 
  9636 * Pure/Provers: improved proof by cases and induction;
  9637   - 'case' command admits impromptu naming of parameters (such as
  9638     "case (Suc n)");
  9639   - 'induct' method divinates rule instantiation from the inductive
  9640     claim; no longer requires excessive ?P bindings for proper
  9641     instantiation of cases;
  9642   - 'induct' method properly enumerates all possibilities of set/type
  9643     rules; as a consequence facts may be also passed through *type*
  9644     rules without further ado;
  9645   - 'induct' method now derives symbolic cases from the *rulified*
  9646     rule (before it used to rulify cases stemming from the internal
  9647     atomized version); this means that the context of a non-atomic
  9648     statement becomes is included in the hypothesis, avoiding the
  9649     slightly cumbersome show "PROP ?case" form;
  9650   - 'induct' may now use elim-style induction rules without chaining
  9651     facts, using ``missing'' premises from the goal state; this allows
  9652     rules stemming from inductive sets to be applied in unstructured
  9653     scripts, while still benefitting from proper handling of non-atomic
  9654     statements; NB: major inductive premises need to be put first, all
  9655     the rest of the goal is passed through the induction;
  9656   - 'induct' proper support for mutual induction involving non-atomic
  9657     rule statements (uses the new concept of simultaneous goals, see
  9658     below);
  9659   - append all possible rule selections, but only use the first
  9660     success (no backtracking);
  9661   - removed obsolete "(simplified)" and "(stripped)" options of methods;
  9662   - undeclared rule case names default to numbers 1, 2, 3, ...;
  9663   - added 'print_induct_rules' (covered by help item in recent Proof
  9664     General versions);
  9665   - moved induct/cases attributes to Pure, methods to Provers;
  9666   - generic method setup instantiated for FOL and HOL;
  9667 
  9668 * Pure: support multiple simultaneous goal statements, for example
  9669 "have a: A and b: B" (same for 'theorem' etc.); being a pure
  9670 meta-level mechanism, this acts as if several individual goals had
  9671 been stated separately; in particular common proof methods need to be
  9672 repeated in order to cover all claims; note that a single elimination
  9673 step is *not* sufficient to establish the two conjunctions, so this
  9674 fails:
  9675 
  9676   assume "A & B" then have A and B ..   (*".." fails*)
  9677 
  9678 better use "obtain" in situations as above; alternative refer to
  9679 multi-step methods like 'auto', 'simp_all', 'blast+' etc.;
  9680 
  9681 * Pure: proper integration with ``locales''; unlike the original
  9682 version by Florian Kammller, Isar locales package high-level proof
  9683 contexts rather than raw logical ones (e.g. we admit to include
  9684 attributes everywhere); operations on locales include merge and
  9685 rename; support for implicit arguments (``structures''); simultaneous
  9686 type-inference over imports and text; see also HOL/ex/Locales.thy for
  9687 some examples;
  9688 
  9689 * Pure: the following commands have been ``localized'', supporting a
  9690 target locale specification "(in name)": 'lemma', 'theorem',
  9691 'corollary', 'lemmas', 'theorems', 'declare'; the results will be
  9692 stored both within the locale and at the theory level (exported and
  9693 qualified by the locale name);
  9694 
  9695 * Pure: theory goals may now be specified in ``long'' form, with
  9696 ad-hoc contexts consisting of arbitrary locale elements. for example
  9697 ``lemma foo: fixes x assumes "A x" shows "B x"'' (local syntax and
  9698 definitions may be given, too); the result is a meta-level rule with
  9699 the context elements being discharged in the obvious way;
  9700 
  9701 * Pure: new proof command 'using' allows to augment currently used
  9702 facts after a goal statement ('using' is syntactically analogous to
  9703 'apply', but acts on the goal's facts only); this allows chained facts
  9704 to be separated into parts given before and after a claim, as in
  9705 ``from a and b have C using d and e <proof>'';
  9706 
  9707 * Pure: renamed "antecedent" case to "rule_context";
  9708 
  9709 * Pure: new 'judgment' command records explicit information about the
  9710 object-logic embedding (used by several tools internally); no longer
  9711 use hard-wired "Trueprop";
  9712 
  9713 * Pure: added 'corollary' command;
  9714 
  9715 * Pure: fixed 'token_translation' command;
  9716 
  9717 * Pure: removed obsolete 'exported' attribute;
  9718 
  9719 * Pure: dummy pattern "_" in is/let is now automatically lifted over
  9720 bound variables: "ALL x. P x --> Q x" (is "ALL x. _ --> ?C x")
  9721 supersedes more cumbersome ... (is "ALL x. _ x --> ?C x");
  9722 
  9723 * Pure: method 'atomize' presents local goal premises as object-level
  9724 statements (atomic meta-level propositions); setup controlled via
  9725 rewrite rules declarations of 'atomize' attribute; example
  9726 application: 'induct' method with proper rule statements in improper
  9727 proof *scripts*;
  9728 
  9729 * Pure: emulation of instantiation tactics (rule_tac, cut_tac, etc.)
  9730 now consider the syntactic context of assumptions, giving a better
  9731 chance to get type-inference of the arguments right (this is
  9732 especially important for locales);
  9733 
  9734 * Pure: "sorry" no longer requires quick_and_dirty in interactive
  9735 mode;
  9736 
  9737 * Pure/obtain: the formal conclusion "thesis", being marked as
  9738 ``internal'', may no longer be reference directly in the text;
  9739 potential INCOMPATIBILITY, may need to use "?thesis" in rare
  9740 situations;
  9741 
  9742 * Pure: generic 'sym' attribute which declares a rule both as pure
  9743 'elim?' and for the 'symmetric' operation;
  9744 
  9745 * Pure: marginal comments ``--'' may now occur just anywhere in the
  9746 text; the fixed correlation with particular command syntax has been
  9747 discontinued;
  9748 
  9749 * Pure: new method 'rules' is particularly well-suited for proof
  9750 search in intuitionistic logic; a bit slower than 'blast' or 'fast',
  9751 but often produces more compact proof terms with less detours;
  9752 
  9753 * Pure/Provers/classical: simplified integration with pure rule
  9754 attributes and methods; the classical "intro?/elim?/dest?"
  9755 declarations coincide with the pure ones; the "rule" method no longer
  9756 includes classically swapped intros; "intro" and "elim" methods no
  9757 longer pick rules from the context; also got rid of ML declarations
  9758 AddXIs/AddXEs/AddXDs; all of this has some potential for
  9759 INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9760 
  9761 * Provers/classical: attribute 'swapped' produces classical inversions
  9762 of introduction rules;
  9763 
  9764 * Provers/simplifier: 'simplified' attribute may refer to explicit
  9765 rules instead of full simplifier context; 'iff' attribute handles
  9766 conditional rules;
  9767 
  9768 * HOL: 'typedef' now allows alternative names for Rep/Abs morphisms;
  9769 
  9770 * HOL: 'recdef' now fails on unfinished automated proofs, use
  9771 "(permissive)" option to recover old behavior;
  9772 
  9773 * HOL: 'inductive' no longer features separate (collective) attributes
  9774 for 'intros' (was found too confusing);
  9775 
  9776 * HOL: properly declared induction rules less_induct and
  9777 wf_induct_rule;
  9778 
  9779 
  9780 *** HOL ***
  9781 
  9782 * HOL: moved over to sane numeral syntax; the new policy is as
  9783 follows:
  9784 
  9785   - 0 and 1 are polymorphic constants, which are defined on any
  9786   numeric type (nat, int, real etc.);
  9787 
  9788   - 2, 3, 4, ... and -1, -2, -3, ... are polymorphic numerals, based
  9789   binary representation internally;
  9790 
  9791   - type nat has special constructor Suc, and generally prefers Suc 0
  9792   over 1::nat and Suc (Suc 0) over 2::nat;
  9793 
  9794 This change may cause significant problems of INCOMPATIBILITY; here
  9795 are some hints on converting existing sources:
  9796 
  9797   - due to the new "num" token, "-0" and "-1" etc. are now atomic
  9798   entities, so expressions involving "-" (unary or binary minus) need
  9799   to be spaced properly;
  9800 
  9801   - existing occurrences of "1" may need to be constraint "1::nat" or
  9802   even replaced by Suc 0; similar for old "2";
  9803 
  9804   - replace "#nnn" by "nnn", and "#-nnn" by "-nnn";
  9805 
  9806   - remove all special provisions on numerals in proofs;
  9807 
  9808 * HOL: simp rules nat_number expand numerals on nat to Suc/0
  9809 representation (depends on bin_arith_simps in the default context);
  9810 
  9811 * HOL: symbolic syntax for x^2 (numeral 2);
  9812 
  9813 * HOL: the class of all HOL types is now called "type" rather than
  9814 "term"; INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt references to this type class
  9815 in axclass/classes, instance/arities, and (usually rare) occurrences
  9816 in typings (of consts etc.); internally the class is called
  9817 "HOL.type", ML programs should refer to HOLogic.typeS;
  9818 
  9819 * HOL/record package improvements:
  9820   - new derived operations "fields" to build a partial record section,
  9821     "extend" to promote a fixed record to a record scheme, and
  9822     "truncate" for the reverse; cf. theorems "xxx.defs", which are *not*
  9823     declared as simp by default;
  9824   - shared operations ("more", "fields", etc.) now need to be always
  9825     qualified) --- potential INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9826   - removed "make_scheme" operations (use "make" with "extend") --
  9827     INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9828   - removed "more" class (simply use "term") -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9829   - provides cases/induct rules for use with corresponding Isar
  9830     methods (for concrete records, record schemes, concrete more
  9831     parts, and schematic more parts -- in that order);
  9832   - internal definitions directly based on a light-weight abstract
  9833     theory of product types over typedef rather than datatype;
  9834 
  9835 * HOL: generic code generator for generating executable ML code from
  9836 specifications; specific support for HOL constructs such as inductive
  9837 datatypes and sets, as well as recursive functions; can be invoked
  9838 via 'generate_code' theory section;
  9839 
  9840 * HOL: canonical cases/induct rules for n-tuples (n = 3..7);
  9841 
  9842 * HOL: consolidated and renamed several theories.  In particular:
  9843         Ord.thy has been absorbed into HOL.thy
  9844         String.thy has been absorbed into List.thy
  9845 
  9846 * HOL: concrete setsum syntax "\<Sum>i:A. b" == "setsum (%i. b) A"
  9847 (beware of argument permutation!);
  9848 
  9849 * HOL: linorder_less_split superseded by linorder_cases;
  9850 
  9851 * HOL/List: "nodups" renamed to "distinct";
  9852 
  9853 * HOL: added "The" definite description operator; move Hilbert's "Eps"
  9854 to peripheral theory "Hilbert_Choice"; some INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  9855   - Ex_def has changed, now need to use some_eq_ex
  9856 
  9857 * HOL: made split_all_tac safe; EXISTING PROOFS MAY FAIL OR LOOP, so
  9858 in this (rare) case use:
  9859 
  9860   delSWrapper "split_all_tac"
  9861   addSbefore ("unsafe_split_all_tac", unsafe_split_all_tac)
  9862 
  9863 * HOL: added safe wrapper "split_conv_tac" to claset; EXISTING PROOFS
  9864 MAY FAIL;
  9865 
  9866 * HOL: introduced f^n = f o ... o f; warning: due to the limits of
  9867 Isabelle's type classes, ^ on functions and relations has too general
  9868 a domain, namely ('a * 'b) set and 'a => 'b; this means that it may be
  9869 necessary to attach explicit type constraints;
  9870 
  9871 * HOL/Relation: the prefix name of the infix "O" has been changed from
  9872 "comp" to "rel_comp"; INCOMPATIBILITY: a few theorems have been
  9873 renamed accordingly (eg "compI" -> "rel_compI").
  9874 
  9875 * HOL: syntax translations now work properly with numerals and records
  9876 expressions;
  9877 
  9878 * HOL: bounded abstraction now uses syntax "%" / "\<lambda>" instead
  9879 of "lam" -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9880 
  9881 * HOL: got rid of some global declarations (potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  9882 for ML tools): const "()" renamed "Product_Type.Unity", type "unit"
  9883 renamed "Product_Type.unit";
  9884 
  9885 * HOL: renamed rtrancl_into_rtrancl2 to converse_rtrancl_into_rtrancl
  9886 
  9887 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem "optionE" (use "option.exhaust", or
  9888 the "cases" method);
  9889 
  9890 * HOL/GroupTheory: group theory examples including Sylow's theorem (by
  9891 Florian Kammller);
  9892 
  9893 * HOL/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory format; several
  9894 parts turned into readable document, with proper Isar proof texts and
  9895 some explanations (by Gerwin Klein);
  9896 
  9897 * HOL-Real: added Complex_Numbers (by Gertrud Bauer);
  9898 
  9899 * HOL-Hyperreal is now a logic image;
  9900 
  9901 
  9902 *** HOLCF ***
  9903 
  9904 * Isar: consts/constdefs supports mixfix syntax for continuous
  9905 operations;
  9906 
  9907 * Isar: domain package adapted to new-style theory format, e.g. see
  9908 HOLCF/ex/Dnat.thy;
  9909 
  9910 * theory Lift: proper use of rep_datatype lift instead of ML hacks --
  9911 potential INCOMPATIBILITY; now use plain induct_tac instead of former
  9912 lift.induct_tac, always use UU instead of Undef;
  9913 
  9914 * HOLCF/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory;
  9915 
  9916 
  9917 *** ZF ***
  9918 
  9919 * Isar: proper integration of logic-specific tools and packages,
  9920 including theory commands '(co)inductive', '(co)datatype',
  9921 'rep_datatype', 'inductive_cases', as well as methods 'ind_cases',
  9922 'induct_tac', 'case_tac', and 'typecheck' (with attribute 'TC');
  9923 
  9924 * theory Main no longer includes AC; for the Axiom of Choice, base
  9925 your theory on Main_ZFC;
  9926 
  9927 * the integer library now covers quotients and remainders, with many
  9928 laws relating division to addition, multiplication, etc.;
  9929 
  9930 * ZF/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY is now available in ZF, giving a
  9931 typeless version of the formalism;
  9932 
  9933 * ZF/AC, Coind, IMP, Resid: updated and converted to new-style theory
  9934 format;
  9935 
  9936 * ZF/Induct: new directory for examples of inductive definitions,
  9937 including theory Multiset for multiset orderings; converted to
  9938 new-style theory format;
  9939 
  9940 * ZF: many new theorems about lists, ordinals, etc.;
  9941 
  9942 
  9943 *** General ***
  9944 
  9945 * Pure/kernel: meta-level proof terms (by Stefan Berghofer); reference
  9946 variable proof controls level of detail: 0 = no proofs (only oracle
  9947 dependencies), 1 = lemma dependencies, 2 = compact proof terms; see
  9948 also ref manual for further ML interfaces;
  9949 
  9950 * Pure/axclass: removed obsolete ML interface
  9951 goal_subclass/goal_arity;
  9952 
  9953 * Pure/syntax: new token syntax "num" for plain numerals (without "#"
  9954 of "xnum"); potential INCOMPATIBILITY, since -0, -1 etc. are now
  9955 separate tokens, so expressions involving minus need to be spaced
  9956 properly;
  9957 
  9958 * Pure/syntax: support non-oriented infixes, using keyword "infix"
  9959 rather than "infixl" or "infixr";
  9960 
  9961 * Pure/syntax: concrete syntax for dummy type variables admits genuine
  9962 sort constraint specifications in type inference; e.g. "x::_::foo"
  9963 ensures that the type of "x" is of sort "foo" (but not necessarily a
  9964 type variable);
  9965 
  9966 * Pure/syntax: print modes "type_brackets" and "no_type_brackets"
  9967 control output of nested => (types); the default behavior is
  9968 "type_brackets";
  9969 
  9970 * Pure/syntax: builtin parse translation for "_constify" turns valued
  9971 tokens into AST constants;
  9972 
  9973 * Pure/syntax: prefer later declarations of translations and print
  9974 translation functions; potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to reverse
  9975 multiple declarations for same syntax element constant;
  9976 
  9977 * Pure/show_hyps reset by default (in accordance to existing Isar
  9978 practice);
  9979 
  9980 * Provers/classical: renamed addaltern to addafter, addSaltern to
  9981 addSafter;
  9982 
  9983 * Provers/clasimp: ``iff'' declarations now handle conditional rules
  9984 as well;
  9985 
  9986 * system: tested support for MacOS X; should be able to get Isabelle +
  9987 Proof General to work in a plain Terminal after installing Poly/ML
  9988 (e.g. from the Isabelle distribution area) and GNU bash alone
  9989 (e.g. from http://www.apple.com); full X11, XEmacs and X-Symbol
  9990 support requires further installations, e.g. from
  9991 http://fink.sourceforge.net/);
  9992 
  9993 * system: support Poly/ML 4.1.1 (able to manage larger heaps);
  9994 
  9995 * system: reduced base memory usage by Poly/ML (approx. 20 MB instead
  9996 of 40 MB), cf. ML_OPTIONS;
  9997 
  9998 * system: Proof General keywords specification is now part of the
  9999 Isabelle distribution (see etc/isar-keywords.el);
 10000 
 10001 * system: support for persistent Proof General sessions (refrain from
 10002 outdating all loaded theories on startup); user may create writable
 10003 logic images like this: ``isabelle -q HOL Test'';
 10004 
 10005 * system: smart selection of Isabelle process versus Isabelle
 10006 interface, accommodates case-insensitive file systems (e.g. HFS+); may
 10007 run both "isabelle" and "Isabelle" even if file names are badly
 10008 damaged (executable inspects the case of the first letter of its own
 10009 name); added separate "isabelle-process" and "isabelle-interface";
 10010 
 10011 * system: refrain from any attempt at filtering input streams; no
 10012 longer support ``8bit'' encoding of old isabelle font, instead proper
 10013 iso-latin characters may now be used; the related isatools
 10014 "symbolinput" and "nonascii" have disappeared as well;
 10015 
 10016 * system: removed old "xterm" interface (the print modes "xterm" and
 10017 "xterm_color" are still available for direct use in a suitable
 10018 terminal);
 10019 
 10020 
 10021 
 10022 New in Isabelle99-2 (February 2001)
 10023 -----------------------------------
 10024 
 10025 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
 10026 
 10027 * HOL: please note that theories in the Library and elsewhere often use the
 10028 new-style (Isar) format; to refer to their theorems in an ML script you must
 10029 bind them to ML identifers by e.g.      val thm_name = thm "thm_name";
 10030 
 10031 * HOL: inductive package no longer splits induction rule aggressively,
 10032 but only as far as specified by the introductions given; the old
 10033 format may be recovered via ML function complete_split_rule or attribute
 10034 'split_rule (complete)';
 10035 
 10036 * HOL: induct renamed to lfp_induct, lfp_Tarski to lfp_unfold,
 10037 gfp_Tarski to gfp_unfold;
 10038 
 10039 * HOL: contrapos, contrapos2 renamed to contrapos_nn, contrapos_pp;
 10040 
 10041 * HOL: infix "dvd" now has priority 50 rather than 70 (because it is a
 10042 relation); infix "^^" has been renamed "``"; infix "``" has been
 10043 renamed "`"; "univalent" has been renamed "single_valued";
 10044 
 10045 * HOL/Real: "rinv" and "hrinv" replaced by overloaded "inverse"
 10046 operation;
 10047 
 10048 * HOLCF: infix "`" has been renamed "$"; the symbol syntax is \<cdot>;
 10049 
 10050 * Isar: 'obtain' no longer declares "that" fact as simp/intro;
 10051 
 10052 * Isar/HOL: method 'induct' now handles non-atomic goals; as a
 10053 consequence, it is no longer monotonic wrt. the local goal context
 10054 (which is now passed through the inductive cases);
 10055 
 10056 * Document preparation: renamed standard symbols \<ll> to \<lless> and
 10057 \<gg> to \<ggreater>;
 10058 
 10059 
 10060 *** Document preparation ***
 10061 
 10062 * \isabellestyle{NAME} selects version of Isabelle output (currently
 10063 available: are "it" for near math-mode best-style output, "sl" for
 10064 slanted text style, and "tt" for plain type-writer; if no
 10065 \isabellestyle command is given, output is according to slanted
 10066 type-writer);
 10067 
 10068 * support sub/super scripts (for single symbols only), input syntax is
 10069 like this: "A\<^sup>*" or "A\<^sup>\<star>";
 10070 
 10071 * some more standard symbols; see Appendix A of the system manual for
 10072 the complete list of symbols defined in isabellesym.sty;
 10073 
 10074 * improved isabelle style files; more abstract symbol implementation
 10075 (should now use \isamath{...} and \isatext{...} in custom symbol
 10076 definitions);
 10077 
 10078 * antiquotation @{goals} and @{subgoals} for output of *dynamic* goals
 10079 state; Note that presentation of goal states does not conform to
 10080 actual human-readable proof documents.  Please do not include goal
 10081 states into document output unless you really know what you are doing!
 10082 
 10083 * proper indentation of antiquoted output with proportional LaTeX
 10084 fonts;
 10085 
 10086 * no_document ML operator temporarily disables LaTeX document
 10087 generation;
 10088 
 10089 * isatool unsymbolize tunes sources for plain ASCII communication;
 10090 
 10091 
 10092 *** Isar ***
 10093 
 10094 * Pure: Isar now suffers initial goal statements to contain unbound
 10095 schematic variables (this does not conform to actual readable proof
 10096 documents, due to unpredictable outcome and non-compositional proof
 10097 checking); users who know what they are doing may use schematic goals
 10098 for Prolog-style synthesis of proven results;
 10099 
 10100 * Pure: assumption method (an implicit finishing) now handles actual
 10101 rules as well;
 10102 
 10103 * Pure: improved 'obtain' --- moved to Pure, insert "that" into
 10104 initial goal, declare "that" only as Pure intro (only for single
 10105 steps); the "that" rule assumption may now be involved in implicit
 10106 finishing, thus ".." becomes a feasible for trivial obtains;
 10107 
 10108 * Pure: default proof step now includes 'intro_classes'; thus trivial
 10109 instance proofs may be performed by "..";
 10110 
 10111 * Pure: ?thesis / ?this / "..." now work for pure meta-level
 10112 statements as well;
 10113 
 10114 * Pure: more robust selection of calculational rules;
 10115 
 10116 * Pure: the builtin notion of 'finished' goal now includes the ==-refl
 10117 rule (as well as the assumption rule);
 10118 
 10119 * Pure: 'thm_deps' command visualizes dependencies of theorems and
 10120 lemmas, using the graph browser tool;
 10121 
 10122 * Pure: predict failure of "show" in interactive mode;
 10123 
 10124 * Pure: 'thms_containing' now takes actual terms as arguments;
 10125 
 10126 * HOL: improved method 'induct' --- now handles non-atomic goals
 10127 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY); tuned error handling;
 10128 
 10129 * HOL: cases and induct rules now provide explicit hints about the
 10130 number of facts to be consumed (0 for "type" and 1 for "set" rules);
 10131 any remaining facts are inserted into the goal verbatim;
 10132 
 10133 * HOL: local contexts (aka cases) may now contain term bindings as
 10134 well; the 'cases' and 'induct' methods new provide a ?case binding for
 10135 the result to be shown in each case;
 10136 
 10137 * HOL: added 'recdef_tc' command;
 10138 
 10139 * isatool convert assists in eliminating legacy ML scripts;
 10140 
 10141 
 10142 *** HOL ***
 10143 
 10144 * HOL/Library: a collection of generic theories to be used together
 10145 with main HOL; the theory loader path already includes this directory
 10146 by default; the following existing theories have been moved here:
 10147 HOL/Induct/Multiset, HOL/Induct/Acc (as Accessible_Part), HOL/While
 10148 (as While_Combinator), HOL/Lex/Prefix (as List_Prefix);
 10149 
 10150 * HOL/Unix: "Some aspects of Unix file-system security", a typical
 10151 modelling and verification task performed in Isabelle/HOL +
 10152 Isabelle/Isar + Isabelle document preparation (by Markus Wenzel).
 10153 
 10154 * HOL/Algebra: special summation operator SUM no longer exists, it has
 10155 been replaced by setsum; infix 'assoc' now has priority 50 (like
 10156 'dvd'); axiom 'one_not_zero' has been moved from axclass 'ring' to
 10157 'domain', this makes the theory consistent with mathematical
 10158 literature;
 10159 
 10160 * HOL basics: added overloaded operations "inverse" and "divide"
 10161 (infix "/"), syntax for generic "abs" operation, generic summation
 10162 operator \<Sum>;
 10163 
 10164 * HOL/typedef: simplified package, provide more useful rules (see also
 10165 HOL/subset.thy);
 10166 
 10167 * HOL/datatype: induction rule for arbitrarily branching datatypes is
 10168 now expressed as a proper nested rule (old-style tactic scripts may
 10169 require atomize_strip_tac to cope with non-atomic premises);
 10170 
 10171 * HOL: renamed theory "Prod" to "Product_Type", renamed "split" rule
 10172 to "split_conv" (old name still available for compatibility);
 10173 
 10174 * HOL: improved concrete syntax for strings (e.g. allows translation
 10175 rules with string literals);
 10176 
 10177 * HOL-Real-Hyperreal: this extends HOL-Real with the hyperreals
 10178  and Fleuriot's mechanization of analysis, including the transcendental
 10179  functions for the reals;
 10180 
 10181 * HOL/Real, HOL/Hyperreal: improved arithmetic simplification;
 10182 
 10183 
 10184 *** CTT ***
 10185 
 10186 * CTT: x-symbol support for Pi, Sigma, -->, : (membership); note that
 10187 "lam" is displayed as TWO lambda-symbols
 10188 
 10189 * CTT: theory Main now available, containing everything (that is, Bool
 10190 and Arith);
 10191 
 10192 
 10193 *** General ***
 10194 
 10195 * Pure: the Simplifier has been implemented properly as a derived rule
 10196 outside of the actual kernel (at last!); the overall performance
 10197 penalty in practical applications is about 50%, while reliability of
 10198 the Isabelle inference kernel has been greatly improved;
 10199 
 10200 * print modes "brackets" and "no_brackets" control output of nested =>
 10201 (types) and ==> (props); the default behaviour is "brackets";
 10202 
 10203 * Provers: fast_tac (and friends) now handle actual object-logic rules
 10204 as assumptions as well;
 10205 
 10206 * system: support Poly/ML 4.0;
 10207 
 10208 * system: isatool install handles KDE version 1 or 2;
 10209 
 10210 
 10211 
 10212 New in Isabelle99-1 (October 2000)
 10213 ----------------------------------
 10214 
 10215 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
 10216 
 10217 * HOL: simplification of natural numbers is much changed; to partly
 10218 recover the old behaviour (e.g. to prevent n+n rewriting to #2*n)
 10219 issue the following ML commands:
 10220 
 10221   Delsimprocs Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.cancel_numerals;
 10222   Delsimprocs [Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.combine_numerals];
 10223 
 10224 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions; this is
 10225 controlled by "t.weak_case_cong" for each datatype t;
 10226 
 10227 * HOL: nat_less_induct renamed to less_induct;
 10228 
 10229 * HOL: systematic renaming of the SOME (Eps) rules, may use isatool
 10230 fixsome to patch .thy and .ML sources automatically;
 10231 
 10232   select_equality  -> some_equality
 10233   select_eq_Ex     -> some_eq_ex
 10234   selectI2EX       -> someI2_ex
 10235   selectI2         -> someI2
 10236   selectI          -> someI
 10237   select1_equality -> some1_equality
 10238   Eps_sym_eq       -> some_sym_eq_trivial
 10239   Eps_eq           -> some_eq_trivial
 10240 
 10241 * HOL: exhaust_tac on datatypes superceded by new generic case_tac;
 10242 
 10243 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem binding expand_if (refer to split_if
 10244 instead);
 10245 
 10246 * HOL: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' are now called
 10247 f.simps instead of f.rules;
 10248 
 10249 * HOL: qed_spec_mp now also handles bounded ALL as well;
 10250 
 10251 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded, so the type constraint ":: nat" may
 10252 sometimes be needed;
 10253 
 10254 * HOL: the constant for "f``x" is now "image" rather than "op ``";
 10255 
 10256 * HOL: the constant for "f-``x" is now "vimage" rather than "op -``";
 10257 
 10258 * HOL: the disjoint sum is now "<+>" instead of "Plus"; the cartesian
 10259 product is now "<*>" instead of "Times"; the lexicographic product is
 10260 now "<*lex*>" instead of "**";
 10261 
 10262 * HOL: theory Sexp is now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part
 10263 of main HOL, but was unused); better use HOL's datatype package;
 10264 
 10265 * HOL: removed "symbols" syntax for constant "override" of theory Map;
 10266 the old syntax may be recovered as follows:
 10267 
 10268   syntax (symbols)
 10269     override  :: "('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b)"
 10270       (infixl "\\<oplus>" 100)
 10271 
 10272 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
 10273 
 10274 * HOL/ML: even fewer consts are declared as global (see theories Ord,
 10275 Lfp, Gfp, WF); this only affects ML packages that refer to const names
 10276 internally;
 10277 
 10278 * HOL and ZF: syntax for quotienting wrt an equivalence relation
 10279 changed from A/r to A//r;
 10280 
 10281 * ZF: new treatment of arithmetic (nat & int) may break some old
 10282 proofs;
 10283 
 10284 * Isar: renamed some attributes (RS -> THEN, simplify -> simplified,
 10285 rulify -> rule_format, elimify -> elim_format, ...);
 10286 
 10287 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
 10288 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (in most cases, one
 10289 should have to change intro!! to intro? only); replaced "delrule" by
 10290 "rule del";
 10291 
 10292 * Isar/HOL: renamed "intrs" to "intros" in inductive definitions;
 10293 
 10294 * Provers: strengthened force_tac by using new first_best_tac;
 10295 
 10296 * LaTeX document preparation: several changes of isabelle.sty (see
 10297 lib/texinputs);
 10298 
 10299 
 10300 *** Document preparation ***
 10301 
 10302 * formal comments (text blocks etc.) in new-style theories may now
 10303 contain antiquotations of thm/prop/term/typ/text to be presented
 10304 according to latex print mode; concrete syntax is like this:
 10305 @{term[show_types] "f(x) = a + x"};
 10306 
 10307 * isatool mkdir provides easy setup of Isabelle session directories,
 10308 including proper document sources;
 10309 
 10310 * generated LaTeX sources are now deleted after successful run
 10311 (isatool document -c); may retain a copy somewhere else via -D option
 10312 of isatool usedir;
 10313 
 10314 * isatool usedir -D now lets isatool latex -o sty update the Isabelle
 10315 style files, achieving self-contained LaTeX sources and simplifying
 10316 LaTeX debugging;
 10317 
 10318 * old-style theories now produce (crude) LaTeX output as well;
 10319 
 10320 * browser info session directories are now self-contained (may be put
 10321 on WWW server seperately); improved graphs of nested sessions; removed
 10322 graph for 'all sessions';
 10323 
 10324 * several improvements in isabelle style files; \isabellestyle{it}
 10325 produces fake math mode output; \isamarkupheader is now \section by
 10326 default; see lib/texinputs/isabelle.sty etc.;
 10327 
 10328 
 10329 *** Isar ***
 10330 
 10331 * Isar/Pure: local results and corresponding term bindings are now
 10332 subject to Hindley-Milner polymorphism (similar to ML); this
 10333 accommodates incremental type-inference very nicely;
 10334 
 10335 * Isar/Pure: new derived language element 'obtain' supports
 10336 generalized existence reasoning;
 10337 
 10338 * Isar/Pure: new calculational elements 'moreover' and 'ultimately'
 10339 support accumulation of results, without applying any rules yet;
 10340 useful to collect intermediate results without explicit name
 10341 references, and for use with transitivity rules with more than 2
 10342 premises;
 10343 
 10344 * Isar/Pure: scalable support for case-analysis type proofs: new
 10345 'case' language element refers to local contexts symbolically, as
 10346 produced by certain proof methods; internally, case names are attached
 10347 to theorems as "tags";
 10348 
 10349 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'hide' removes declarations from
 10350 class/type/const name spaces;
 10351 
 10352 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'defs' supports option "(overloaded)" to
 10353 indicate potential overloading;
 10354 
 10355 * Isar/Pure: changed syntax of local blocks from {{ }} to { };
 10356 
 10357 * Isar/Pure: syntax of sorts made 'inner', i.e. have to write
 10358 "{a,b,c}" instead of {a,b,c};
 10359 
 10360 * Isar/Pure now provides its own version of intro/elim/dest
 10361 attributes; useful for building new logics, but beware of confusion
 10362 with the version in Provers/classical;
 10363 
 10364 * Isar/Pure: the local context of (non-atomic) goals is provided via
 10365 case name 'antecedent';
 10366 
 10367 * Isar/Pure: removed obsolete 'transfer' attribute (transfer of thms
 10368 to the current context is now done automatically);
 10369 
 10370 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'method_setup' provides a simple interface
 10371 for definining proof methods in ML;
 10372 
 10373 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
 10374 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (INCOMPATIBILITY, in
 10375 most cases, one should have to change intro!! to intro? only);
 10376 replaced "delrule" by "rule del";
 10377 
 10378 * Isar/Provers: new 'hypsubst' method, plain 'subst' method and
 10379 'symmetric' attribute (the latter supercedes [RS sym]);
 10380 
 10381 * Isar/Provers: splitter support (via 'split' attribute and 'simp'
 10382 method modifier); 'simp' method: 'only:' modifier removes loopers as
 10383 well (including splits);
 10384 
 10385 * Isar/Provers: Simplifier and Classical methods now support all kind
 10386 of modifiers used in the past, including 'cong', 'iff', etc.
 10387 
 10388 * Isar/Provers: added 'fastsimp' and 'clarsimp' methods (combination
 10389 of Simplifier and Classical reasoner);
 10390 
 10391 * Isar/HOL: new proof method 'cases' and improved version of 'induct'
 10392 now support named cases; major packages (inductive, datatype, primrec,
 10393 recdef) support case names and properly name parameters;
 10394 
 10395 * Isar/HOL: new transitivity rules for substitution in inequalities --
 10396 monotonicity conditions are extracted to be proven at end of
 10397 calculations;
 10398 
 10399 * Isar/HOL: removed 'case_split' thm binding, should use 'cases' proof
 10400 method anyway;
 10401 
 10402 * Isar/HOL: removed old expand_if = split_if; theorems if_splits =
 10403 split_if split_if_asm; datatype package provides theorems foo.splits =
 10404 foo.split foo.split_asm for each datatype;
 10405 
 10406 * Isar/HOL: tuned inductive package, rename "intrs" to "intros"
 10407 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY), emulation of mk_cases feature for proof
 10408 scripts: new 'inductive_cases' command and 'ind_cases' method; (Note:
 10409 use "(cases (simplified))" method in proper proof texts);
 10410 
 10411 * Isar/HOL: added global 'arith_split' attribute for 'arith' method;
 10412 
 10413 * Isar: names of theorems etc. may be natural numbers as well;
 10414 
 10415 * Isar: 'pr' command: optional arguments for goals_limit and
 10416 ProofContext.prems_limit; no longer prints theory contexts, but only
 10417 proof states;
 10418 
 10419 * Isar: diagnostic commands 'pr', 'thm', 'prop', 'term', 'typ' admit
 10420 additional print modes to be specified; e.g. "pr(latex)" will print
 10421 proof state according to the Isabelle LaTeX style;
 10422 
 10423 * Isar: improved support for emulating tactic scripts, including proof
 10424 methods 'rule_tac' etc., 'cut_tac', 'thin_tac', 'subgoal_tac',
 10425 'rename_tac', 'rotate_tac', 'tactic', and 'case_tac' / 'induct_tac'
 10426 (for HOL datatypes);
 10427 
 10428 * Isar: simplified (more robust) goal selection of proof methods: 1st
 10429 goal, all goals, or explicit goal specifier (tactic emulation); thus
 10430 'proof method scripts' have to be in depth-first order;
 10431 
 10432 * Isar: tuned 'let' syntax: replaced 'as' keyword by 'and';
 10433 
 10434 * Isar: removed 'help' command, which hasn't been too helpful anyway;
 10435 should instead use individual commands for printing items
 10436 (print_commands, print_methods etc.);
 10437 
 10438 * Isar: added 'nothing' --- the empty list of theorems;
 10439 
 10440 
 10441 *** HOL ***
 10442 
 10443 * HOL/MicroJava: formalization of a fragment of Java, together with a
 10444 corresponding virtual machine and a specification of its bytecode
 10445 verifier and a lightweight bytecode verifier, including proofs of
 10446 type-safety; by Gerwin Klein, Tobias Nipkow, David von Oheimb, and
 10447 Cornelia Pusch (see also the homepage of project Bali at
 10448 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Bali/);
 10449 
 10450 * HOL/Algebra: new theory of rings and univariate polynomials, by
 10451 Clemens Ballarin;
 10452 
 10453 * HOL/NumberTheory: fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, Chinese
 10454 Remainder Theorem, Fermat/Euler Theorem, Wilson's Theorem, by Thomas M
 10455 Rasmussen;
 10456 
 10457 * HOL/Lattice: fundamental concepts of lattice theory and order
 10458 structures, including duals, properties of bounds versus algebraic
 10459 laws, lattice operations versus set-theoretic ones, the Knaster-Tarski
 10460 Theorem for complete lattices etc.; may also serve as a demonstration
 10461 for abstract algebraic reasoning using axiomatic type classes, and
 10462 mathematics-style proof in Isabelle/Isar; by Markus Wenzel;
 10463 
 10464 * HOL/Prolog: a (bare-bones) implementation of Lambda-Prolog, by David
 10465 von Oheimb;
 10466 
 10467 * HOL/IMPP: extension of IMP with local variables and mutually
 10468 recursive procedures, by David von Oheimb;
 10469 
 10470 * HOL/Lambda: converted into new-style theory and document;
 10471 
 10472 * HOL/ex/Multiquote: example of multiple nested quotations and
 10473 anti-quotations -- basically a generalized version of de-Bruijn
 10474 representation; very useful in avoiding lifting of operations;
 10475 
 10476 * HOL/record: added general record equality rule to simpset; fixed
 10477 select-update simplification procedure to handle extended records as
 10478 well; admit "r" as field name;
 10479 
 10480 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded over the new sort "zero", allowing its use with
 10481 other numeric types and also as the identity of groups, rings, etc.;
 10482 
 10483 * HOL: new axclass plus_ac0 for addition with the AC-laws and 0 as identity.
 10484 Types nat and int belong to this axclass;
 10485 
 10486 * HOL: greatly improved simplification involving numerals of type nat, int, real:
 10487    (i + #8 + j) = Suc k simplifies to  #7 + (i + j) = k
 10488    i*j + k + j*#3*i     simplifies to  #4*(i*j) + k
 10489   two terms #m*u and #n*u are replaced by #(m+n)*u
 10490     (where #m, #n and u can implicitly be 1; this is simproc combine_numerals)
 10491   and the term/formula #m*u+x ~~ #n*u+y simplifies simplifies to #(m-n)+x ~~ y
 10492     or x ~~ #(n-m)+y, where ~~ is one of = < <= or - (simproc cancel_numerals);
 10493 
 10494 * HOL: meson_tac is available (previously in ex/meson.ML); it is a
 10495 powerful prover for predicate logic but knows nothing of clasets; see
 10496 ex/mesontest.ML and ex/mesontest2.ML for example applications;
 10497 
 10498 * HOL: new version of "case_tac" subsumes both boolean case split and
 10499 "exhaust_tac" on datatypes; INCOMPATIBILITY: exhaust_tac no longer
 10500 exists, may define val exhaust_tac = case_tac for ad-hoc portability;
 10501 
 10502 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions: only the
 10503 selector expression is simplified, but not the remaining arms; to
 10504 enable full simplification of case-expressions for datatype t, you may
 10505 remove t.weak_case_cong from the simpset, either globally (Delcongs
 10506 [thm"t.weak_case_cong"];) or locally (delcongs [...]).
 10507 
 10508 * HOL/recdef: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' for
 10509 function 'f' are now called f.simps instead of f.rules; if all
 10510 termination conditions are proved automatically, these simplification
 10511 rules are added to the simpset, as in primrec; rules may be named
 10512 individually as well, resulting in a separate list of theorems for
 10513 each equation;
 10514 
 10515 * HOL/While is a new theory that provides a while-combinator. It
 10516 permits the definition of tail-recursive functions without the
 10517 provision of a termination measure. The latter is necessary once the
 10518 invariant proof rule for while is applied.
 10519 
 10520 * HOL: new (overloaded) notation for the set of elements below/above
 10521 some element: {..u}, {..u(}, {l..}, {)l..}. See theory SetInterval.
 10522 
 10523 * HOL: theorems impI, allI, ballI bound as "strip";
 10524 
 10525 * HOL: new tactic induct_thm_tac: thm -> string -> int -> tactic
 10526 induct_tac th "x1 ... xn" expects th to have a conclusion of the form
 10527 P v1 ... vn and abbreviates res_inst_tac [("v1","x1"),...,("vn","xn")] th;
 10528 
 10529 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
 10530 
 10531 * HOL: theory Sexp now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part of
 10532 main HOL, but was unused);
 10533 
 10534 * HOL: fewer consts declared as global (e.g. have to refer to
 10535 "Lfp.lfp" instead of "lfp" internally; affects ML packages only);
 10536 
 10537 * HOL: tuned AST representation of nested pairs, avoiding bogus output
 10538 in case of overlap with user translations (e.g. judgements over
 10539 tuples); (note that the underlying logical represenation is still
 10540 bogus);
 10541 
 10542 
 10543 *** ZF ***
 10544 
 10545 * ZF: simplification automatically cancels common terms in arithmetic
 10546 expressions over nat and int;
 10547 
 10548 * ZF: new treatment of nat to minimize type-checking: all operators
 10549 coerce their operands to a natural number using the function natify,
 10550 making the algebraic laws unconditional;
 10551 
 10552 * ZF: as above, for int: operators coerce their operands to an integer
 10553 using the function intify;
 10554 
 10555 * ZF: the integer library now contains many of the usual laws for the
 10556 orderings, including $<=, and monotonicity laws for $+ and $*;
 10557 
 10558 * ZF: new example ZF/ex/NatSum to demonstrate integer arithmetic
 10559 simplification;
 10560 
 10561 * FOL and ZF: AddIffs now available, giving theorems of the form P<->Q
 10562 to the simplifier and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 10563 
 10564 
 10565 *** General ***
 10566 
 10567 * Provers: blast_tac now handles actual object-logic rules as
 10568 assumptions; note that auto_tac uses blast_tac internally as well;
 10569 
 10570 * Provers: new functions rulify/rulify_no_asm: thm -> thm for turning
 10571 outer -->/All/Ball into ==>/!!; qed_spec_mp now uses rulify_no_asm;
 10572 
 10573 * Provers: delrules now handles destruct rules as well (no longer need
 10574 explicit make_elim);
 10575 
 10576 * Provers: Blast_tac now warns of and ignores "weak elimination rules" e.g.
 10577   [| inj ?f;          ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
 10578 use instead the strong form,
 10579   [| inj ?f; ~ ?W ==> ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
 10580 in HOL, FOL and ZF the function cla_make_elim will create such rules
 10581 from destruct-rules;
 10582 
 10583 * Provers: Simplifier.easy_setup provides a fast path to basic
 10584 Simplifier setup for new object-logics;
 10585 
 10586 * Pure: AST translation rules no longer require constant head on LHS;
 10587 
 10588 * Pure: improved name spaces: ambiguous output is qualified; support
 10589 for hiding of names;
 10590 
 10591 * system: smart setup of canonical ML_HOME, ISABELLE_INTERFACE, and
 10592 XSYMBOL_HOME; no longer need to do manual configuration in most
 10593 situations;
 10594 
 10595 * system: compression of ML heaps images may now be controlled via -c
 10596 option of isabelle and isatool usedir (currently only observed by
 10597 Poly/ML);
 10598 
 10599 * system: isatool installfonts may handle X-Symbol fonts as well (very
 10600 useful for remote X11);
 10601 
 10602 * system: provide TAGS file for Isabelle sources;
 10603 
 10604 * ML: infix 'OF' is a version of 'MRS' with more appropriate argument
 10605 order;
 10606 
 10607 * ML: renamed flags Syntax.trace_norm_ast to Syntax.trace_ast; global
 10608 timing flag supersedes proof_timing and Toplevel.trace;
 10609 
 10610 * ML: new combinators |>> and |>>> for incremental transformations
 10611 with secondary results (e.g. certain theory extensions):
 10612 
 10613 * ML: PureThy.add_defs gets additional argument to indicate potential
 10614 overloading (usually false);
 10615 
 10616 * ML: PureThy.add_thms/add_axioms/add_defs now return theorems as
 10617 results;
 10618 
 10619 
 10620 
 10621 New in Isabelle99 (October 1999)
 10622 --------------------------------
 10623 
 10624 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 10625 
 10626 * HOL: The THEN and ELSE parts of conditional expressions (if P then x else y)
 10627 are no longer simplified.  (This allows the simplifier to unfold recursive
 10628 functional programs.)  To restore the old behaviour, declare
 10629 
 10630     Delcongs [if_weak_cong];
 10631 
 10632 * HOL: Removed the obsolete syntax "Compl A"; use -A for set
 10633 complement;
 10634 
 10635 * HOL: the predicate "inj" is now defined by translation to "inj_on";
 10636 
 10637 * HOL/datatype: mutual_induct_tac no longer exists --
 10638   use induct_tac "x_1 ... x_n" instead of mutual_induct_tac ["x_1", ..., "x_n"]
 10639 
 10640 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
 10641 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
 10642 
 10643 * ZF: The con_defs part of an inductive definition may no longer refer
 10644 to constants declared in the same theory;
 10645 
 10646 * HOL, ZF: the function mk_cases, generated by the inductive
 10647 definition package, has lost an argument.  To simplify its result, it
 10648 uses the default simpset instead of a supplied list of theorems.
 10649 
 10650 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
 10651 
 10652 * Simplifier: the type of the infix ML functions
 10653         setSSolver addSSolver setSolver addSolver
 10654 is now  simpset * solver -> simpset  where `solver' is a new abstract type
 10655 for packaging solvers. A solver is created via
 10656         mk_solver: string -> (thm list -> int -> tactic) -> solver
 10657 where the string argument is only a comment.
 10658 
 10659 
 10660 *** Proof tools ***
 10661 
 10662 * Provers/Arith/fast_lin_arith.ML contains a functor for creating a
 10663 decision procedure for linear arithmetic. Currently it is used for
 10664 types `nat', `int', and `real' in HOL (see below); it can, should and
 10665 will be instantiated for other types and logics as well.
 10666 
 10667 * The simplifier now accepts rewrite rules with flexible heads, eg
 10668      hom ?f ==> ?f(?x+?y) = ?f ?x + ?f ?y
 10669   They are applied like any rule with a non-pattern lhs, i.e. by first-order
 10670   matching.
 10671 
 10672 
 10673 *** General ***
 10674 
 10675 * New Isabelle/Isar subsystem provides an alternative to traditional
 10676 tactical theorem proving; together with the ProofGeneral/isar user
 10677 interface it offers an interactive environment for developing human
 10678 readable proof documents (Isar == Intelligible semi-automated
 10679 reasoning); for further information see isatool doc isar-ref,
 10680 src/HOL/Isar_examples and http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Isar/
 10681 
 10682 * improved and simplified presentation of theories: better HTML markup
 10683 (including colors), graph views in several sizes; isatool usedir now
 10684 provides a proper interface for user theories (via -P option); actual
 10685 document preparation based on (PDF)LaTeX is available as well (for
 10686 new-style theories only); see isatool doc system for more information;
 10687 
 10688 * native support for Proof General, both for classic Isabelle and
 10689 Isabelle/Isar;
 10690 
 10691 * ML function thm_deps visualizes dependencies of theorems and lemmas,
 10692 using the graph browser tool;
 10693 
 10694 * Isabelle manuals now also available as PDF;
 10695 
 10696 * theory loader rewritten from scratch (may not be fully
 10697 bug-compatible); old loadpath variable has been replaced by show_path,
 10698 add_path, del_path, reset_path functions; new operations such as
 10699 update_thy, touch_thy, remove_thy, use/update_thy_only (see also
 10700 isatool doc ref);
 10701 
 10702 * improved isatool install: option -k creates KDE application icon,
 10703 option -p DIR installs standalone binaries;
 10704 
 10705 * added ML_PLATFORM setting (useful for cross-platform installations);
 10706 more robust handling of platform specific ML images for SML/NJ;
 10707 
 10708 * the settings environment is now statically scoped, i.e. it is never
 10709 created again in sub-processes invoked from isabelle, isatool, or
 10710 Isabelle;
 10711 
 10712 * path element specification '~~' refers to '$ISABELLE_HOME';
 10713 
 10714 * in locales, the "assumes" and "defines" parts may be omitted if
 10715 empty;
 10716 
 10717 * new print_mode "xsymbols" for extended symbol support (e.g. genuine
 10718 long arrows);
 10719 
 10720 * new print_mode "HTML";
 10721 
 10722 * new flag show_tags controls display of tags of theorems (which are
 10723 basically just comments that may be attached by some tools);
 10724 
 10725 * Isamode 2.6 requires patch to accomodate change of Isabelle font
 10726 mode and goal output format:
 10727 
 10728 diff -r Isamode-2.6/elisp/isa-load.el Isamode/elisp/isa-load.el
 10729 244c244
 10730 <       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-msymbols" logic-name)
 10731 ---
 10732 >       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-misabelle_font" "-msymbols" logic-name)
 10733 diff -r Isabelle-2.6/elisp/isa-proofstate.el Isamode/elisp/isa-proofstate.el
 10734 181c181
 10735 < (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+$"
 10736 ---
 10737 > (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+"
 10738 
 10739 * function bind_thms stores lists of theorems (cf. bind_thm);
 10740 
 10741 * new shorthand tactics ftac, eatac, datac, fatac;
 10742 
 10743 * qed (and friends) now accept "" as result name; in that case the
 10744 theorem is not stored, but proper checks and presentation of the
 10745 result still apply;
 10746 
 10747 * theorem database now also indexes constants "Trueprop", "all",
 10748 "==>", "=="; thus thms_containing, findI etc. may retrieve more rules;
 10749 
 10750 
 10751 *** HOL ***
 10752 
 10753 ** HOL arithmetic **
 10754 
 10755 * There are now decision procedures for linear arithmetic over nat and
 10756 int:
 10757 
 10758 1. arith_tac copes with arbitrary formulae involving `=', `<', `<=',
 10759 `+', `-', `Suc', `min', `max' and numerical constants; other subterms
 10760 are treated as atomic; subformulae not involving type `nat' or `int'
 10761 are ignored; quantified subformulae are ignored unless they are
 10762 positive universal or negative existential. The tactic has to be
 10763 invoked by hand and can be a little bit slow. In particular, the
 10764 running time is exponential in the number of occurrences of `min' and
 10765 `max', and `-' on `nat'.
 10766 
 10767 2. fast_arith_tac is a cut-down version of arith_tac: it only takes
 10768 (negated) (in)equalities among the premises and the conclusion into
 10769 account (i.e. no compound formulae) and does not know about `min' and
 10770 `max', and `-' on `nat'. It is fast and is used automatically by the
 10771 simplifier.
 10772 
 10773 NB: At the moment, these decision procedures do not cope with mixed
 10774 nat/int formulae where the two parts interact, such as `m < n ==>
 10775 int(m) < int(n)'.
 10776 
 10777 * HOL/Numeral provides a generic theory of numerals (encoded
 10778 efficiently as bit strings); setup for types nat/int/real is in place;
 10779 INCOMPATIBILITY: since numeral syntax is now polymorphic, rather than
 10780 int, existing theories and proof scripts may require a few additional
 10781 type constraints;
 10782 
 10783 * integer division and remainder can now be performed on constant
 10784 arguments;
 10785 
 10786 * many properties of integer multiplication, division and remainder
 10787 are now available;
 10788 
 10789 * An interface to the Stanford Validity Checker (SVC) is available through the
 10790 tactic svc_tac.  Propositional tautologies and theorems of linear arithmetic
 10791 are proved automatically.  SVC must be installed separately, and its results
 10792 must be TAKEN ON TRUST (Isabelle does not check the proofs, but tags any
 10793 invocation of the underlying oracle).  For SVC see
 10794   http://verify.stanford.edu/SVC
 10795 
 10796 * IsaMakefile: the HOL-Real target now builds an actual image;
 10797 
 10798 
 10799 ** HOL misc **
 10800 
 10801 * HOL/Real/HahnBanach: the Hahn-Banach theorem for real vector spaces
 10802 (in Isabelle/Isar) -- by Gertrud Bauer;
 10803 
 10804 * HOL/BCV: generic model of bytecode verification, i.e. data-flow
 10805 analysis for assembly languages with subtypes;
 10806 
 10807 * HOL/TLA (Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions): major reorganization
 10808 -- avoids syntactic ambiguities and treats state, transition, and
 10809 temporal levels more uniformly; introduces INCOMPATIBILITIES due to
 10810 changed syntax and (many) tactics;
 10811 
 10812 * HOL/inductive: Now also handles more general introduction rules such
 10813   as "ALL y. (y, x) : r --> y : acc r ==> x : acc r"; monotonicity
 10814   theorems are now maintained within the theory (maintained via the
 10815   "mono" attribute);
 10816 
 10817 * HOL/datatype: Now also handles arbitrarily branching datatypes
 10818   (using function types) such as
 10819 
 10820   datatype 'a tree = Atom 'a | Branch "nat => 'a tree"
 10821 
 10822 * HOL/record: record_simproc (part of the default simpset) takes care
 10823 of selectors applied to updated records; record_split_tac is no longer
 10824 part of the default claset; update_defs may now be removed from the
 10825 simpset in many cases; COMPATIBILITY: old behavior achieved by
 10826 
 10827   claset_ref () := claset() addSWrapper record_split_wrapper;
 10828   Delsimprocs [record_simproc]
 10829 
 10830 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
 10831 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
 10832 
 10833 * HOL/recdef (TFL): 'congs' syntax now expects comma separated list of theorem
 10834 names rather than an ML expression;
 10835 
 10836 * HOL/defer_recdef (TFL): like recdef but the well-founded relation can be
 10837 supplied later.  Program schemes can be defined, such as
 10838     "While B C s = (if B s then While B C (C s) else s)"
 10839 where the well-founded relation can be chosen after B and C have been given.
 10840 
 10841 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
 10842 INCOMPATIBILITY: while [] and infix # syntax is still there, of
 10843 course, ML tools referring to List.list.op # etc. have to be adapted;
 10844 
 10845 * HOL_quantifiers flag superseded by "HOL" print mode, which is
 10846 disabled by default; run isabelle with option -m HOL to get back to
 10847 the original Gordon/HOL-style output;
 10848 
 10849 * HOL/Ord.thy: new bounded quantifier syntax (input only): ALL x<y. P,
 10850 ALL x<=y. P, EX x<y. P, EX x<=y. P;
 10851 
 10852 * HOL basic syntax simplified (more orthogonal): all variants of
 10853 All/Ex now support plain / symbolic / HOL notation; plain syntax for
 10854 Eps operator is provided as well: "SOME x. P[x]";
 10855 
 10856 * HOL/Sum.thy: sum_case has been moved to HOL/Datatype;
 10857 
 10858 * HOL/Univ.thy: infix syntax <*>, <+>, <**>, <+> eliminated and made
 10859 thus available for user theories;
 10860 
 10861 * HOLCF/IOA/Sequents: renamed 'Cons' to 'Consq' to avoid clash with
 10862 HOL/List; hardly an INCOMPATIBILITY since '>>' syntax is used all the
 10863 time;
 10864 
 10865 * HOL: new tactic smp_tac: int -> int -> tactic, which applies spec
 10866 several times and then mp;
 10867

 10870 
 10871 * the notation <<...>> is now available as a notation for sequences of
 10872 formulas;
 10873 
 10874 * the simplifier is now installed
 10875 
 10876 * the axiom system has been generalized (thanks to Soren Heilmann)
 10877 
 10878 * the classical reasoner now has a default rule database
 10879 
 10880 
 10881 *** ZF ***
 10882 
 10883 * new primrec section allows primitive recursive functions to be given
 10884 directly (as in HOL) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
 10885 
 10886 * new tactics induct_tac and exhaust_tac for induction (or case
 10887 analysis) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
 10888 
 10889 * the datatype declaration of type T now defines the recursor T_rec;
 10890 
 10891 * simplification automatically does freeness reasoning for datatype
 10892 constructors;
 10893 
 10894 * automatic type-inference, with AddTCs command to insert new
 10895 type-checking rules;
 10896 
 10897 * datatype introduction rules are now added as Safe Introduction rules
 10898 to the claset;
 10899 
 10900 * the syntax "if P then x else y" is now available in addition to
 10901 if(P,x,y);
 10902 
 10903 
 10904 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
 10905 
 10906 * tuned simplifier trace output; new flag debug_simp;
 10907 
 10908 * structures Vartab / Termtab (instances of TableFun) offer efficient
 10909 tables indexed by indexname_ord / term_ord (compatible with aconv);
 10910 
 10911 * AxClass.axclass_tac lost the theory argument;
 10912 
 10913 * tuned current_goals_markers semantics: begin / end goal avoids
 10914 printing empty lines;
 10915 
 10916 * removed prs and prs_fn hook, which was broken because it did not
 10917 include \n in its semantics, forcing writeln to add one
 10918 uncoditionally; replaced prs_fn by writeln_fn; consider std_output:
 10919 string -> unit if you really want to output text without newline;
 10920 
 10921 * Symbol.output subject to print mode; INCOMPATIBILITY: defaults to
 10922 plain output, interface builders may have to enable 'isabelle_font'
 10923 mode to get Isabelle font glyphs as before;
 10924 
 10925 * refined token_translation interface; INCOMPATIBILITY: output length
 10926 now of type real instead of int;
 10927 
 10928 * theory loader actions may be traced via new ThyInfo.add_hook
 10929 interface (see src/Pure/Thy/thy_info.ML); example application: keep
 10930 your own database of information attached to *whole* theories -- as
 10931 opposed to intra-theory data slots offered via TheoryDataFun;
 10932 
 10933 * proper handling of dangling sort hypotheses (at last!);
 10934 Thm.strip_shyps and Drule.strip_shyps_warning take care of removing
 10935 extra sort hypotheses that can be witnessed from the type signature;
 10936 the force_strip_shyps flag is gone, any remaining shyps are simply
 10937 left in the theorem (with a warning issued by strip_shyps_warning);
 10938 
 10939 
 10940 
 10941 New in Isabelle98-1 (October 1998)
 10942 ----------------------------------
 10943 
 10944 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 10945 
 10946 * several changes of automated proof tools;
 10947 
 10948 * HOL: major changes to the inductive and datatype packages, including
 10949 some minor incompatibilities of theory syntax;
 10950 
 10951 * HOL: renamed r^-1 to 'converse' from 'inverse'; 'inj_onto' is now
 10952 called `inj_on';
 10953 
 10954 * HOL: removed duplicate thms in Arith:
 10955   less_imp_add_less  should be replaced by  trans_less_add1
 10956   le_imp_add_le      should be replaced by  trans_le_add1
 10957 
 10958 * HOL: unary minus is now overloaded (new type constraints may be
 10959 required);
 10960 
 10961 * HOL and ZF: unary minus for integers is now #- instead of #~.  In
 10962 ZF, expressions such as n#-1 must be changed to n#- 1, since #-1 is
 10963 now taken as an integer constant.
 10964 
 10965 * Pure: ML function 'theory_of' renamed to 'theory';
 10966 
 10967 
 10968 *** Proof tools ***
 10969 
 10970 * Simplifier:
 10971   1. Asm_full_simp_tac is now more aggressive.
 10972      1. It will sometimes reorient premises if that increases their power to
 10973         simplify.
 10974      2. It does no longer proceed strictly from left to right but may also
 10975         rotate premises to achieve further simplification.
 10976      For compatibility reasons there is now Asm_lr_simp_tac which is like the
 10977      old Asm_full_simp_tac in that it does not rotate premises.
 10978   2. The simplifier now knows a little bit about nat-arithmetic.
 10979 
 10980 * Classical reasoner: wrapper mechanism for the classical reasoner now
 10981 allows for selected deletion of wrappers, by introduction of names for
 10982 wrapper functionals.  This implies that addbefore, addSbefore,
 10983 addaltern, and addSaltern now take a pair (name, tactic) as argument,
 10984 and that adding two tactics with the same name overwrites the first
 10985 one (emitting a warning).
 10986   type wrapper = (int -> tactic) -> (int -> tactic)
 10987   setWrapper, setSWrapper, compWrapper and compSWrapper are replaced by
 10988   addWrapper, addSWrapper: claset * (string * wrapper) -> claset
 10989   delWrapper, delSWrapper: claset *  string            -> claset
 10990   getWrapper is renamed to appWrappers, getSWrapper to appSWrappers;
 10991 
 10992 * Classical reasoner: addbefore/addSbefore now have APPEND/ORELSE
 10993 semantics; addbefore now affects only the unsafe part of step_tac
 10994 etc.; this affects addss/auto_tac/force_tac, so EXISTING PROOFS MAY
 10995 FAIL, but proofs should be fixable easily, e.g. by replacing Auto_tac
 10996 by Force_tac;
 10997 
 10998 * Classical reasoner: setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to
 10999 compWrapper; added safe wrapper (and access functions for it);
 11000 
 11001 * HOL/split_all_tac is now much faster and fails if there is nothing
 11002 to split.  Some EXISTING PROOFS MAY REQUIRE ADAPTION because the order
 11003 and the names of the automatically generated variables have changed.
 11004 split_all_tac has moved within claset() from unsafe wrappers to safe
 11005 wrappers, which means that !!-bound variables are split much more
 11006 aggressively, and safe_tac and clarify_tac now split such variables.
 11007 If this splitting is not appropriate, use delSWrapper "split_all_tac".
 11008 Note: the same holds for record_split_tac, which does the job of
 11009 split_all_tac for record fields.
 11010 
 11011 * HOL/Simplifier: Rewrite rules for case distinctions can now be added
 11012 permanently to the default simpset using Addsplits just like
 11013 Addsimps. They can be removed via Delsplits just like
 11014 Delsimps. Lower-case versions are also available.
 11015 
 11016 * HOL/Simplifier: The rule split_if is now part of the default
 11017 simpset. This means that the simplifier will eliminate all occurrences
 11018 of if-then-else in the conclusion of a goal. To prevent this, you can
 11019 either remove split_if completely from the default simpset by
 11020 `Delsplits [split_if]' or remove it in a specific call of the
 11021 simplifier using `... delsplits [split_if]'.  You can also add/delete
 11022 other case splitting rules to/from the default simpset: every datatype
 11023 generates suitable rules `split_t_case' and `split_t_case_asm' (where
 11024 t is the name of the datatype).
 11025 
 11026 * Classical reasoner / Simplifier combination: new force_tac (and
 11027 derivatives Force_tac, force) combines rewriting and classical
 11028 reasoning (and whatever other tools) similarly to auto_tac, but is
 11029 aimed to solve the given subgoal completely.
 11030 
 11031 
 11032 *** General ***
 11033 
 11034 * new top-level commands `Goal' and `Goalw' that improve upon `goal'
 11035 and `goalw': the theory is no longer needed as an explicit argument -
 11036 the current theory context is used; assumptions are no longer returned
 11037 at the ML-level unless one of them starts with ==> or !!; it is
 11038 recommended to convert to these new commands using isatool fixgoal
 11039 (backup your sources first!);
 11040 
 11041 * new top-level commands 'thm' and 'thms' for retrieving theorems from
 11042 the current theory context, and 'theory' to lookup stored theories;
 11043 
 11044 * new theory section 'locale' for declaring constants, assumptions and
 11045 definitions that have local scope;
 11046 
 11047 * new theory section 'nonterminals' for purely syntactic types;
 11048 
 11049 * new theory section 'setup' for generic ML setup functions
 11050 (e.g. package initialization);
 11051 
 11052 * the distribution now includes Isabelle icons: see
 11053 lib/logo/isabelle-{small,tiny}.xpm;
 11054 
 11055 * isatool install - install binaries with absolute references to
 11056 ISABELLE_HOME/bin;
 11057 
 11058 * isatool logo -- create instances of the Isabelle logo (as EPS);
 11059 
 11060 * print mode 'emacs' reserved for Isamode;
 11061 
 11062 * support multiple print (ast) translations per constant name;
 11063 
 11064 * theorems involving oracles are now printed with a suffixed [!];
 11065 
 11066 
 11067 *** HOL ***
 11068 
 11069 * there is now a tutorial on Isabelle/HOL (do 'isatool doc tutorial');
 11070 
 11071 * HOL/inductive package reorganized and improved: now supports mutual
 11072 definitions such as
 11073 
 11074   inductive EVEN ODD
 11075     intrs
 11076       null "0 : EVEN"
 11077       oddI "n : EVEN ==> Suc n : ODD"
 11078       evenI "n : ODD ==> Suc n : EVEN"
 11079 
 11080 new theorem list "elims" contains an elimination rule for each of the
 11081 recursive sets; inductive definitions now handle disjunctive premises
 11082 correctly (also ZF);
 11083 
 11084 INCOMPATIBILITIES: requires Inductive as an ancestor; component
 11085 "mutual_induct" no longer exists - the induction rule is always
 11086 contained in "induct";
 11087 
 11088 
 11089 * HOL/datatype package re-implemented and greatly improved: now
 11090 supports mutually recursive datatypes such as
 11091 
 11092   datatype
 11093     'a aexp = IF_THEN_ELSE ('a bexp) ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 11094             | SUM ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 11095             | DIFF ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 11096             | NUM 'a
 11097   and
 11098     'a bexp = LESS ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 11099             | AND ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
 11100             | OR ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
 11101 
 11102 as well as indirectly recursive datatypes such as
 11103 
 11104   datatype
 11105     ('a, 'b) term = Var 'a
 11106                   | App 'b ((('a, 'b) term) list)
 11107 
 11108 The new tactic  mutual_induct_tac [<var_1>, ..., <var_n>] i  performs
 11109 induction on mutually / indirectly recursive datatypes.
 11110 
 11111 Primrec equations are now stored in theory and can be accessed via
 11112 <function_name>.simps.
 11113 
 11114 INCOMPATIBILITIES:
 11115 
 11116   - Theories using datatypes must now have theory Datatype as an
 11117     ancestor.
 11118   - The specific <typename>.induct_tac no longer exists - use the
 11119     generic induct_tac instead.
 11120   - natE has been renamed to nat.exhaust - use exhaust_tac
 11121     instead of res_inst_tac ... natE. Note that the variable
 11122     names in nat.exhaust differ from the names in natE, this
 11123     may cause some "fragile" proofs to fail.
 11124   - The theorems split_<typename>_case and split_<typename>_case_asm
 11125     have been renamed to <typename>.split and <typename>.split_asm.
 11126   - Since default sorts of type variables are now handled correctly,
 11127     some datatype definitions may have to be annotated with explicit
 11128     sort constraints.
 11129   - Primrec definitions no longer require function name and type
 11130     of recursive argument.
 11131 
 11132 Consider using isatool fixdatatype to adapt your theories and proof
 11133 scripts to the new package (backup your sources first!).
 11134 
 11135 
 11136 * HOL/record package: considerably improved implementation; now
 11137 includes concrete syntax for record types, terms, updates; theorems
 11138 for surjective pairing and splitting !!-bound record variables; proof
 11139 support is as follows:
 11140 
 11141   1) standard conversions (selectors or updates applied to record
 11142 constructor terms) are part of the standard simpset;
 11143 
 11144   2) inject equations of the form ((x, y) = (x', y')) == x=x' & y=y' are
 11145 made part of standard simpset and claset via addIffs;
 11146 
 11147   3) a tactic for record field splitting (record_split_tac) is part of
 11148 the standard claset (addSWrapper);
 11149 
 11150 To get a better idea about these rules you may retrieve them via
 11151 something like 'thms "foo.simps"' or 'thms "foo.iffs"', where "foo" is
 11152 the name of your record type.
 11153 
 11154 The split tactic 3) conceptually simplifies by the following rule:
 11155 
 11156   "(!!x. PROP ?P x) == (!!a b. PROP ?P (a, b))"
 11157 
 11158 Thus any record variable that is bound by meta-all will automatically
 11159 blow up into some record constructor term, consequently the
 11160 simplifications of 1), 2) apply.  Thus force_tac, auto_tac etc. shall
 11161 solve record problems automatically.
 11162 
 11163 
 11164 * reorganized the main HOL image: HOL/Integ and String loaded by
 11165 default; theory Main includes everything;
 11166 
 11167 * automatic simplification of integer sums and comparisons, using cancellation;
 11168 
 11169 * added option_map_eq_Some and not_Some_eq to the default simpset and claset;
 11170 
 11171 * added disj_not1 = "(~P | Q) = (P --> Q)" to the default simpset;
 11172 
 11173 * many new identities for unions, intersections, set difference, etc.;
 11174 
 11175 * expand_if, expand_split, expand_sum_case and expand_nat_case are now
 11176 called split_if, split_split, split_sum_case and split_nat_case (to go
 11177 with add/delsplits);
 11178 
 11179 * HOL/Prod introduces simplification procedure unit_eq_proc rewriting
 11180 (?x::unit) = (); this is made part of the default simpset, which COULD
 11181 MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL under rare circumstances (consider
 11182 'Delsimprocs [unit_eq_proc];' as last resort); also note that
 11183 unit_abs_eta_conv is added in order to counter the effect of
 11184 unit_eq_proc on (%u::unit. f u), replacing it by f rather than by
 11185 %u.f();
 11186 
 11187 * HOL/Fun INCOMPATIBILITY: `inj_onto' is now called `inj_on' (which
 11188 makes more sense);
 11189 
 11190 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 11191   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 11192   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 11193 
 11194 * HOL/Relation INCOMPATIBILITY: renamed the relational operator r^-1
 11195 to 'converse' from 'inverse' (for compatibility with ZF and some
 11196 literature);
 11197 
 11198 * HOL/recdef can now declare non-recursive functions, with {} supplied as
 11199 the well-founded relation;
 11200 
 11201 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: the complement of set A is now written -A instead of
 11202     Compl A.  The "Compl" syntax remains available as input syntax for this
 11203     release ONLY.
 11204 
 11205 * HOL/Update: new theory of function updates:
 11206     f(a:=b) == %x. if x=a then b else f x
 11207 may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 11208 
 11209 * HOL/Vimage: new theory for inverse image of a function, syntax f-``B;
 11210 
 11211 * HOL/List:
 11212   - new function list_update written xs[i:=v] that updates the i-th
 11213     list position. May also be iterated as in xs[i:=a,j:=b,...].
 11214   - new function `upt' written [i..j(] which generates the list
 11215     [i,i+1,...,j-1], i.e. the upper bound is excluded. To include the upper
 11216     bound write [i..j], which is a shorthand for [i..j+1(].
 11217   - new lexicographic orderings and corresponding wellfoundedness theorems.
 11218 
 11219 * HOL/Arith:
 11220   - removed 'pred' (predecessor) function;
 11221   - generalized some theorems about n-1;
 11222   - many new laws about "div" and "mod";
 11223   - new laws about greatest common divisors (see theory ex/Primes);
 11224 
 11225 * HOL/Relation: renamed the relational operator r^-1 "converse"
 11226 instead of "inverse";
 11227 
 11228 * HOL/Induct/Multiset: a theory of multisets, including the wellfoundedness
 11229   of the multiset ordering;
 11230 
 11231 * directory HOL/Real: a construction of the reals using Dedekind cuts
 11232   (not included by default);
 11233 
 11234 * directory HOL/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY formalism;
 11235 
 11236 * directory HOL/Hoare: a new version of Hoare logic which permits many-sorted
 11237   programs, i.e. different program variables may have different types.
 11238 
 11239 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 11240   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 11241   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 11242 
 11243 
 11244 *** ZF ***
 11245 
 11246 * theory Main includes everything; INCOMPATIBILITY: theory ZF.thy contains
 11247   only the theorems proved on ZF.ML;
 11248 
 11249 * ZF INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 11250   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 11251   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 11252 
 11253 * ZF/Update: new theory of function updates
 11254     with default rewrite rule  f(x:=y) ` z = if(z=x, y, f`z)
 11255   may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 11256 
 11257 * in  let x=t in u(x), neither t nor u(x) has to be an FOL term.
 11258 
 11259 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 11260   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 11261   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 11262 
 11263 * case_tac provided for compatibility with HOL
 11264     (like the old excluded_middle_tac, but with subgoals swapped)
 11265 
 11266 
 11267 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
 11268 
 11269 * Pure: several new basic modules made available for general use, see
 11270 also src/Pure/README;
 11271 
 11272 * improved the theory data mechanism to support encapsulation (data
 11273 kind name replaced by private Object.kind, acting as authorization
 11274 key); new type-safe user interface via functor TheoryDataFun; generic
 11275 print_data function becomes basically useless;
 11276 
 11277 * removed global_names compatibility flag -- all theory declarations
 11278 are qualified by default;
 11279 
 11280 * module Pure/Syntax now offers quote / antiquote translation
 11281 functions (useful for Hoare logic etc. with implicit dependencies);
 11282 see HOL/ex/Antiquote for an example use;
 11283 
 11284 * Simplifier now offers conversions (asm_)(full_)rewrite: simpset ->
 11285 cterm -> thm;
 11286 
 11287 * new tactical CHANGED_GOAL for checking that a tactic modifies a
 11288 subgoal;
 11289 
 11290 * Display.print_goals function moved to Locale.print_goals;
 11291 
 11292 * standard print function for goals supports current_goals_markers
 11293 variable for marking begin of proof, end of proof, start of goal; the
 11294 default is ("", "", ""); setting current_goals_markers := ("<proof>",
 11295 "</proof>", "<goal>") causes SGML like tagged proof state printing,
 11296 for example;
 11297 
 11298 
 11299 
 11300 New in Isabelle98 (January 1998)
 11301 --------------------------------
 11302 
 11303 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 11304 
 11305 * changed lexical syntax of terms / types: dots made part of long
 11306 identifiers, e.g. "%x.x" no longer possible, should be "%x. x";
 11307 
 11308 * simpset (and claset) reference variable replaced by functions
 11309 simpset / simpset_ref;
 11310 
 11311 * no longer supports theory aliases (via merge) and non-trivial
 11312 implicit merge of thms' signatures;
 11313 
 11314 * most internal names of constants changed due to qualified names;
 11315 
 11316 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML);
 11317 
 11318 
 11319 *** General Changes ***
 11320 
 11321 * hierachically structured name spaces (for consts, types, axms, thms
 11322 etc.); new lexical class 'longid' (e.g. Foo.bar.x) may render much of
 11323 old input syntactically incorrect (e.g. "%x.x"); COMPATIBILITY:
 11324 isatool fixdots ensures space after dots (e.g. "%x. x"); set
 11325 long_names for fully qualified output names; NOTE: ML programs
 11326 (special tactics, packages etc.) referring to internal names may have
 11327 to be adapted to cope with fully qualified names; in case of severe
 11328 backward campatibility problems try setting 'global_names' at compile
 11329 time to have enrything declared within a flat name space; one may also
 11330 fine tune name declarations in theories via the 'global' and 'local'
 11331 section;
 11332 
 11333 * reimplemented the implicit simpset and claset using the new anytype
 11334 data filed in signatures; references simpset:simpset ref etc. are
 11335 replaced by functions simpset:unit->simpset and
 11336 simpset_ref:unit->simpset ref; COMPATIBILITY: use isatool fixclasimp
 11337 to patch your ML files accordingly;
 11338 
 11339 * HTML output now includes theory graph data for display with Java
 11340 applet or isatool browser; data generated automatically via isatool
 11341 usedir (see -i option, ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS);
 11342 
 11343 * defs may now be conditional; improved rewrite_goals_tac to handle
 11344 conditional equations;
 11345 
 11346 * defs now admits additional type arguments, using TYPE('a) syntax;
 11347 
 11348 * theory aliases via merge (e.g. M=A+B+C) no longer supported, always
 11349 creates a new theory node; implicit merge of thms' signatures is
 11350 restricted to 'trivial' ones; COMPATIBILITY: one may have to use
 11351 transfer:theory->thm->thm in (rare) cases;
 11352 
 11353 * improved handling of draft signatures / theories; draft thms (and
 11354 ctyps, cterms) are automatically promoted to real ones;
 11355 
 11356 * slightly changed interfaces for oracles: admit many per theory, named
 11357 (e.g. oracle foo = mlfun), additional name argument for invoke_oracle;
 11358 
 11359 * print_goals: optional output of const types (set show_consts and
 11360 show_types);
 11361 
 11362 * improved output of warnings (###) and errors (***);
 11363 
 11364 * subgoal_tac displays a warning if the new subgoal has type variables;
 11365 
 11366 * removed old README and Makefiles;
 11367 
 11368 * replaced print_goals_ref hook by print_current_goals_fn and result_error_fn;
 11369 
 11370 * removed obsolete init_pps and init_database;
 11371 
 11372 * deleted the obsolete tactical STATE, which was declared by
 11373     fun STATE tacfun st = tacfun st st;
 11374 
 11375 * cd and use now support path variables, e.g. $ISABELLE_HOME, or ~
 11376 (which abbreviates $HOME);
 11377 
 11378 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML); COMPATIBILITY:
 11379 use isatool fixseq to adapt your ML programs (this works for fully
 11380 qualified references to the Sequence structure only!);
 11381 
 11382 * use_thy no longer requires writable current directory; it always
 11383 reloads .ML *and* .thy file, if either one is out of date;
 11384 
 11385 
 11386 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 11387 
 11388 * Clarify_tac, clarify_tac, clarify_step_tac, Clarify_step_tac: new
 11389 tactics that use classical reasoning to simplify a subgoal without
 11390 splitting it into several subgoals;
 11391 
 11392 * Safe_tac: like safe_tac but uses the default claset;
 11393 
 11394 
 11395 *** Simplifier ***
 11396 
 11397 * added simplification meta rules:
 11398     (asm_)(full_)simplify: simpset -> thm -> thm;
 11399 
 11400 * simplifier.ML no longer part of Pure -- has to be loaded by object
 11401 logics (again);
 11402 
 11403 * added prems argument to simplification procedures;
 11404 
 11405 * HOL, FOL, ZF: added infix function `addsplits':
 11406   instead of `<simpset> setloop (split_tac <thms>)'
 11407   you can simply write `<simpset> addsplits <thms>'
 11408 
 11409 
 11410 *** Syntax ***
 11411 
 11412 * TYPE('a) syntax for type reflection terms;
 11413 
 11414 * no longer handles consts with name "" -- declare as 'syntax' instead;
 11415 
 11416 * pretty printer: changed order of mixfix annotation preference (again!);
 11417 
 11418 * Pure: fixed idt/idts vs. pttrn/pttrns syntactic categories;
 11419 
 11420 
 11421 *** HOL ***
 11422 
 11423 * HOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 11424   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 11425 
 11426 * HOL/TLA: Stephan Merz's formalization of Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions;
 11427 
 11428 * HOL/Auth: new protocol proofs including some for the Internet
 11429   protocol TLS;
 11430 
 11431 * HOL/Map: new theory of `maps' a la VDM;
 11432 
 11433 * HOL/simplifier: simplification procedures nat_cancel_sums for
 11434 cancelling out common nat summands from =, <, <= (in)equalities, or
 11435 differences; simplification procedures nat_cancel_factor for
 11436 cancelling common factor from =, <, <= (in)equalities over natural
 11437 sums; nat_cancel contains both kinds of procedures, it is installed by
 11438 default in Arith.thy -- this COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL;
 11439 
 11440 * HOL/simplifier: terms of the form
 11441   `? x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x)'  (or t=x)
 11442   are rewritten to
 11443   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t)',
 11444   and those of the form
 11445   `! x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x) --> R(x)'  (or t=x)
 11446   are rewritten to
 11447   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t) --> R(t)',
 11448 
 11449 * HOL/datatype
 11450   Each datatype `t' now comes with a theorem `split_t_case' of the form
 11451 
 11452   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 11453      ( (!y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 --> P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) &
 11454         ...
 11455        (!y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn --> P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 11456      )
 11457 
 11458   and a theorem `split_t_case_asm' of the form
 11459 
 11460   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 11461     ~( (? y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 & ~P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) |
 11462         ...
 11463        (? y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn & ~P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 11464      )
 11465   which can be added to a simpset via `addsplits'. The existing theorems
 11466   expand_list_case and expand_option_case have been renamed to
 11467   split_list_case and split_option_case.
 11468 
 11469 * HOL/Arithmetic:
 11470   - `pred n' is automatically converted to `n-1'.
 11471     Users are strongly encouraged not to use `pred' any longer,
 11472     because it will disappear altogether at some point.
 11473   - Users are strongly encouraged to write "0 < n" rather than
 11474     "n ~= 0". Theorems and proof tools have been modified towards this
 11475     `standard'.
 11476 
 11477 * HOL/Lists:
 11478   the function "set_of_list" has been renamed "set" (and its theorems too);
 11479   the function "nth" now takes its arguments in the reverse order and
 11480   has acquired the infix notation "!" as in "xs!n".
 11481 
 11482 * HOL/Set: UNIV is now a constant and is no longer translated to Compl{};
 11483 
 11484 * HOL/Set: The operator (UN x.B x) now abbreviates (UN x:UNIV. B x) and its
 11485   specialist theorems (like UN1_I) are gone.  Similarly for (INT x.B x);
 11486 
 11487 * HOL/record: extensible records with schematic structural subtyping
 11488 (single inheritance); EXPERIMENTAL version demonstrating the encoding,
 11489 still lacks various theorems and concrete record syntax;
 11490 
 11491 
 11492 *** HOLCF ***
 11493 
 11494 * removed "axioms" and "generated by" sections;
 11495 
 11496 * replaced "ops" section by extended "consts" section, which is capable of
 11497   handling the continuous function space "->" directly;
 11498 
 11499 * domain package:
 11500   . proves theorems immediately and stores them in the theory,
 11501   . creates hierachical name space,
 11502   . now uses normal mixfix annotations (instead of cinfix...),
 11503   . minor changes to some names and values (for consistency),
 11504   . e.g. cases -> casedist, dists_eq -> dist_eqs, [take_lemma] -> take_lemmas,
 11505   . separator between mutual domain defs: changed "," to "and",
 11506   . improved handling of sort constraints;  now they have to
 11507     appear on the left-hand side of the equations only;
 11508 
 11509 * fixed LAM <x,y,zs>.b syntax;
 11510 
 11511 * added extended adm_tac to simplifier in HOLCF -- can now discharge
 11512 adm (%x. P (t x)), where P is chainfinite and t continuous;
 11513 
 11514 
 11515 *** FOL and ZF ***
 11516 
 11517 * FOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 11518   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 11519 
 11520 * qed_spec_mp, qed_goal_spec_mp, qed_goalw_spec_mp are available, as
 11521 in HOL, they strip ALL and --> from proved theorems;
 11522 
 11523 
 11524 
 11525 New in Isabelle94-8 (May 1997)
 11526 ------------------------------
 11527 
 11528 *** General Changes ***
 11529 
 11530 * new utilities to build / run / maintain Isabelle etc. (in parts
 11531 still somewhat experimental); old Makefiles etc. still functional;
 11532 
 11533 * new 'Isabelle System Manual';
 11534 
 11535 * INSTALL text, together with ./configure and ./build scripts;
 11536 
 11537 * reimplemented type inference for greater efficiency, better error
 11538 messages and clean internal interface;
 11539 
 11540 * prlim command for dealing with lots of subgoals (an easier way of
 11541 setting goals_limit);
 11542 
 11543 
 11544 *** Syntax ***
 11545 
 11546 * supports alternative (named) syntax tables (parser and pretty
 11547 printer); internal interface is provided by add_modesyntax(_i);
 11548 
 11549 * Pure, FOL, ZF, HOL, HOLCF now support symbolic input and output; to
 11550 be used in conjunction with the Isabelle symbol font; uses the
 11551 "symbols" syntax table;
 11552 
 11553 * added token_translation interface (may translate name tokens in
 11554 arbitrary ways, dependent on their type (free, bound, tfree, ...) and
 11555 the current print_mode); IMPORTANT: user print translation functions
 11556 are responsible for marking newly introduced bounds
 11557 (Syntax.mark_boundT);
 11558 
 11559 * token translations for modes "xterm" and "xterm_color" that display
 11560 names in bold, underline etc. or colors (which requires a color
 11561 version of xterm);
 11562 
 11563 * infixes may now be declared with names independent of their syntax;
 11564 
 11565 * added typed_print_translation (like print_translation, but may
 11566 access type of constant);
 11567 
 11568 
 11569 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 11570 
 11571 Blast_tac: a new tactic!  It is often more powerful than fast_tac, but has
 11572 some limitations.  Blast_tac...
 11573   + ignores addss, addbefore, addafter; this restriction is intrinsic
 11574   + ignores elimination rules that don't have the correct format
 11575         (the conclusion MUST be a formula variable)
 11576   + ignores types, which can make HOL proofs fail
 11577   + rules must not require higher-order unification, e.g. apply_type in ZF
 11578     [message "Function Var's argument not a bound variable" relates to this]
 11579   + its proof strategy is more general but can actually be slower
 11580 
 11581 * substitution with equality assumptions no longer permutes other
 11582 assumptions;
 11583 
 11584 * minor changes in semantics of addafter (now called addaltern); renamed
 11585 setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to compWrapper; added safe wrapper
 11586 (and access functions for it);
 11587 
 11588 * improved combination of classical reasoner and simplifier:
 11589   + functions for handling clasimpsets
 11590   + improvement of addss: now the simplifier is called _after_ the
 11591     safe steps.
 11592   + safe variant of addss called addSss: uses safe simplifications
 11593     _during_ the safe steps. It is more complete as it allows multiple
 11594     instantiations of unknowns (e.g. with slow_tac).
 11595 
 11596 *** Simplifier ***
 11597 
 11598 * added interface for simplification procedures (functions that
 11599 produce *proven* rewrite rules on the fly, depending on current
 11600 redex);
 11601 
 11602 * ordering on terms as parameter (used for ordered rewriting);
 11603 
 11604 * new functions delcongs, deleqcongs, and Delcongs. richer rep_ss;
 11605 
 11606 * the solver is now split into a safe and an unsafe part.
 11607 This should be invisible for the normal user, except that the
 11608 functions setsolver and addsolver have been renamed to setSolver and
 11609 addSolver; added safe_asm_full_simp_tac;
 11610 
 11611 
 11612 *** HOL ***
 11613 
 11614 * a generic induction tactic `induct_tac' which works for all datatypes and
 11615 also for type `nat';
 11616 
 11617 * a generic case distinction tactic `exhaust_tac' which works for all
 11618 datatypes and also for type `nat';
 11619 
 11620 * each datatype comes with a function `size';
 11621 
 11622 * patterns in case expressions allow tuple patterns as arguments to
 11623 constructors, for example `case x of [] => ... | (x,y,z)#ps => ...';
 11624 
 11625 * primrec now also works with type nat;
 11626 
 11627 * recdef: a new declaration form, allows general recursive functions to be
 11628 defined in theory files.  See HOL/ex/Fib, HOL/ex/Primes, HOL/Subst/Unify.
 11629 
 11630 * the constant for negation has been renamed from "not" to "Not" to
 11631 harmonize with FOL, ZF, LK, etc.;
 11632 
 11633 * HOL/ex/LFilter theory of a corecursive "filter" functional for
 11634 infinite lists;
 11635 
 11636 * HOL/Modelcheck demonstrates invocation of model checker oracle;
 11637 
 11638 * HOL/ex/Ring.thy declares cring_simp, which solves equational
 11639 problems in commutative rings, using axiomatic type classes for + and *;
 11640 
 11641 * more examples in HOL/MiniML and HOL/Auth;
 11642 
 11643 * more default rewrite rules for quantifiers, union/intersection;
 11644 
 11645 * a new constant `arbitrary == @x.False';
 11646 
 11647 * HOLCF/IOA replaces old HOL/IOA;
 11648 
 11649 * HOLCF changes: derived all rules and arities
 11650   + axiomatic type classes instead of classes
 11651   + typedef instead of faking type definitions
 11652   + eliminated the internal constants less_fun, less_cfun, UU_fun, UU_cfun etc.
 11653   + new axclasses cpo, chfin, flat with flat < chfin < pcpo < cpo < po
 11654   + eliminated the types void, one, tr
 11655   + use unit lift and bool lift (with translations) instead of one and tr
 11656   + eliminated blift from Lift3.thy (use Def instead of blift)
 11657   all eliminated rules are derived as theorems --> no visible changes ;
 11658 
 11659 
 11660 *** ZF ***
 11661 
 11662 * ZF now has Fast_tac, Simp_tac and Auto_tac.  Union_iff is a now a default
 11663 rewrite rule; this may affect some proofs.  eq_cs is gone but can be put back
 11664 as ZF_cs addSIs [equalityI];
 11665 
 11666 
 11667 
 11668 New in Isabelle94-7 (November 96)
 11669 ---------------------------------
 11670 
 11671 * allowing negative levels (as offsets) in prlev and choplev;
 11672 
 11673 * super-linear speedup for large simplifications;
 11674 
 11675 * FOL, ZF and HOL now use miniscoping: rewriting pushes
 11676 quantifications in as far as possible (COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS
 11677 FAIL); can suppress it using the command Delsimps (ex_simps @
 11678 all_simps); De Morgan laws are also now included, by default;
 11679 
 11680 * improved printing of ==>  :  ~:
 11681 
 11682 * new object-logic "Sequents" adds linear logic, while replacing LK
 11683 and Modal (thanks to Sara Kalvala);
 11684 
 11685 * HOL/Auth: correctness proofs for authentication protocols;
 11686 
 11687 * HOL: new auto_tac combines rewriting and classical reasoning (many
 11688 examples on HOL/Auth);
 11689 
 11690 * HOL: new command AddIffs for declaring theorems of the form P=Q to
 11691 the rewriter and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 11692 
 11693 * function uresult no longer returns theorems in "standard" format;
 11694 regain previous version by: val uresult = standard o uresult;
 11695 
 11696 
 11697 
 11698 New in Isabelle94-6
 11699 -------------------
 11700 
 11701 * oracles -- these establish an interface between Isabelle and trusted
 11702 external reasoners, which may deliver results as theorems;
 11703 
 11704 * proof objects (in particular record all uses of oracles);
 11705 
 11706 * Simp_tac, Fast_tac, etc. that refer to implicit simpset / claset;
 11707 
 11708 * "constdefs" section in theory files;
 11709 
 11710 * "primrec" section (HOL) no longer requires names;
 11711 
 11712 * internal type "tactic" now simply "thm -> thm Sequence.seq";
 11713 
 11714 
 11715 
 11716 New in Isabelle94-5
 11717 -------------------
 11718 
 11719 * reduced space requirements;
 11720 
 11721 * automatic HTML generation from theories;
 11722 
 11723 * theory files no longer require "..." (quotes) around most types;
 11724 
 11725 * new examples, including two proofs of the Church-Rosser theorem;
 11726 
 11727 * non-curried (1994) version of HOL is no longer distributed;
 11728 
 11729 
 11730 
 11731 New in Isabelle94-4
 11732 -------------------
 11733 
 11734 * greatly reduced space requirements;
 11735 
 11736 * theory files (.thy) no longer require \...\ escapes at line breaks;
 11737 
 11738 * searchable theorem database (see the section "Retrieving theorems" on
 11739 page 8 of the Reference Manual);
 11740 
 11741 * new examples, including Grabczewski's monumental case study of the
 11742 Axiom of Choice;
 11743 
 11744 * The previous version of HOL renamed to Old_HOL;
 11745 
 11746 * The new version of HOL (previously called CHOL) uses a curried syntax
 11747 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b);
 11748 
 11749 * Mutually recursive inductive definitions finally work in HOL;
 11750 
 11751 * In ZF, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions and
 11752 translates to the operator "split";
 11753 
 11754 
 11755 
 11756 New in Isabelle94-3
 11757 -------------------
 11758 
 11759 * new infix operator, addss, allowing the classical reasoner to
 11760 perform simplification at each step of its search.  Example:
 11761         fast_tac (cs addss ss)
 11762 
 11763 * a new logic, CHOL, the same as HOL, but with a curried syntax
 11764 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b).  Also pairs
 11765 look like (a,b) instead of <a,b>;
 11766 
 11767 * PLEASE NOTE: CHOL will eventually replace HOL!
 11768 
 11769 * In CHOL, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions.
 11770 It translates to the operator "split".  A new theory of integers is available;
 11771 
 11772 * In ZF, integer numerals now denote two's-complement binary integers.
 11773 Arithmetic operations can be performed by rewriting.  See ZF/ex/Bin.ML;
 11774 
 11775 * Many new examples: I/O automata, Church-Rosser theorem, equivalents
 11776 of the Axiom of Choice;
 11777 
 11778 
 11779 
 11780 New in Isabelle94-2
 11781 -------------------
 11782 
 11783 * Significantly faster resolution;
 11784 
 11785 * the different sections in a .thy file can now be mixed and repeated
 11786 freely;
 11787 
 11788 * Database of theorems for FOL, HOL and ZF.  New
 11789 commands including qed, qed_goal and bind_thm store theorems in the database.
 11790 
 11791 * Simple database queries: return a named theorem (get_thm) or all theorems of
 11792 a given theory (thms_of), or find out what theory a theorem was proved in
 11793 (theory_of_thm);
 11794
