     1 Isabelle NEWS -- history 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 * More static checking of proof methods, which allows the system to
    19 form a closure over the concrete syntax.  Method arguments should be
    20 processed in the original proof context as far as possible, before
    21 operating on the goal state.  In any case, the standard discipline for
    22 subgoal-addressing needs to be observed: no subgoals or a subgoal
    23 number that is out of range produces an empty result sequence, not an
    24 exception.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for non-conformant tactical
    25 proof tools.
    26 
    27 * Lexical syntax (inner and outer) supports text cartouches with
    28 arbitrary nesting, and without escapes of quotes etc.  The Prover IDE
    29 supports input via ` (backquote).
    30 
    31 * The outer syntax categories "text" (for formal comments and document
    32 markup commands) and "altstring" (for literal fact references) allow
    33 cartouches as well, in addition to the traditional mix of quotations.
    34 
    35 * Syntax of document antiquotation @{rail} now uses \<newline> instead
    36 of "\\", to avoid the optical illusion of escaped backslash within
    37 string token.  General renovation of its syntax using text cartouces.
    38 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    39 
    40 * Discontinued legacy_isub_isup, which was a temporary workaround for
    41 Isabelle/ML in Isabelle2013-1.  The prover process no longer accepts
    42 old identifier syntax with \<^isub> or \<^isup>.  Potential
    43 INCOMPATIBILITY.
    44 
    45 * Document antiquotation @{url} produces markup for the given URL,
    46 which results in an active hyperlink within the text.
    47 
    48 * Document antiquotation @{file_unchecked} is like @{file}, but does
    49 not check existence within the file-system.
    50 
    51 * Updated and extended manuals: codegen, datatypes, implementation,
    52 isar-ref, jedit, system.
    53 
    54 
    55 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
    56 
    57 * Improved Document panel: simplied interaction where every single
    58 mouse click (re)opens document via desktop environment or as jEdit
    59 buffer.
    60 
    61 * Support for Navigator plugin (with toolbar buttons), with connection
    62 to PIDE hyperlinks.
    63 
    64 * Auxiliary files ('ML_file' etc.) are managed by the Prover IDE.
    65 Open text buffers take precedence over copies within the file-system.
    66 
    67 * Improved support for Isabelle/ML, with jEdit mode "isabelle-ml" for
    68 auxiliary ML files.
    69 
    70 * Improved syntactic and semantic completion mechanism, with simple
    71 templates, completion language context, name-space completion,
    72 file-name completion, spell-checker completion.
    73 
    74 * Refined GUI popup for completion: more robust key/mouse event
    75 handling and propagation to enclosing text area -- avoid loosing
    76 keystrokes with slow / remote graphics displays.
    77 
    78 * Refined insertion of completion items wrt. jEdit text: multiple
    79 selections, rectangular selections, rectangular selection as "tall
    80 caret".
    81 
    82 * Integrated spell-checker for document text, comments etc. with
    83 completion popup and context-menu.
    84 
    85 * More general "Query" panel supersedes "Find" panel, with GUI access
    86 to commands 'find_theorems' and 'find_consts', as well as print
    87 operations for the context.  Minor incompatibility in keyboard
    88 shortcuts etc.: replace action isabelle-find by isabelle-query.
    89 
    90 * Search field for all output panels ("Output", "Query", "Info" etc.)
    91 to highlight text via regular expression.
    92 
    93 * Option "jedit_print_mode" (see also "Plugin Options / Isabelle /
    94 General") allows to specify additional print modes for the prover
    95 process, without requiring old-fashioned command-line invocation of
    96 "isabelle jedit -m MODE".
    97 
    98 * More support for remote files (e.g. http) using standard Java
    99 networking operations instead of jEdit virtual file-systems.
   100 
   101 * Improved Console/Scala plugin: more uniform scala.Console output,
   102 more robust treatment of threads and interrupts.
   103 
   104 * Improved management of dockable windows: clarified keyboard focus
   105 and window placement wrt. main editor view; optional menu item to
   106 "Detach" a copy where this makes sense.
   107 
   108 * New Simplifier Trace panel provides an interactive view of the
   109 simplification process, enabled by the "simplifier_trace" attribute
   110 within the context.
   111 
   112 
   113 
   114 *** Pure ***
   115 
   116 * Basic constants of Pure use more conventional names and are always
   117 qualified.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY, but with potentially serious
   118 consequences, notably for tools in Isabelle/ML.  The following
   119 renaming needs to be applied:
   120 
   121   ==             ~>  Pure.eq
   122   ==>            ~>  Pure.imp
   123   all            ~>  Pure.all
   124   TYPE           ~>  Pure.type
   125   dummy_pattern  ~>  Pure.dummy_pattern
   126 
   127 Systematic porting works by using the following theory setup on a
   128 *previous* Isabelle version to introduce the new name accesses for the
   129 old constants:
   130 
   131 setup {*
   132   fn thy => thy
   133     |> Sign.root_path
   134     |> Sign.const_alias (Binding.qualify true "Pure" @{binding eq}) "=="
   135     |> Sign.const_alias (Binding.qualify true "Pure" @{binding imp}) "==>"
   136     |> Sign.const_alias (Binding.qualify true "Pure" @{binding all}) "all"
   137     |> Sign.restore_naming thy
   138 *}
   139 
   140 Thus ML antiquotations like @{const_name Pure.eq} may be used already.
   141 Later the application is moved to the current Isabelle version, and
   142 the auxiliary aliases are deleted.
   143 
   144 * Low-level type-class commands 'classes', 'classrel', 'arities' have
   145 been discontinued to avoid the danger of non-trivial axiomatization
   146 that is not immediately visible.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use regular
   147 'instance' command with proof.  The required OFCLASS(...) theorem
   148 might be postulated via 'axiomatization' beforehand, or the proof
   149 finished trivially if the underlying class definition is made vacuous
   150 (without any assumptions).  See also Isabelle/ML operations
   151 Axclass.class_axiomatization, Axclass.classrel_axiomatization,
   152 Axclass.arity_axiomatization.
   153 
   154 * Attributes "where" and "of" allow an optional context of local
   155 variables ('for' declaration): these variables become schematic in the
   156 instantiated theorem.
   157 
   158 * Obsolete attribute "standard" has been discontinued (legacy since
   159 Isabelle2012).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use explicit 'for' context
   160 where instantiations with schematic variables are intended (for
   161 declaration commands like 'lemmas' or attributes like "of").  The
   162 following temporary definition may help to port old applications:
   163 
   164   attribute_setup standard =
   165     "Scan.succeed (Thm.rule_attribute (K Drule.export_without_context))"
   166 
   167 * More thorough check of proof context for goal statements and
   168 attributed fact expressions (concerning background theory, declared
   169 hyps).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, tools need to observe standard
   170 context discipline.  See also Assumption.add_assumes and the more
   171 primitive Thm.assume_hyps.
   172 
   173 * Inner syntax token language allows regular quoted strings "..."
   174 (only makes sense in practice, if outer syntax is delimited
   175 differently, e.g. via cartouches).
   176 
   177 * Code generator preprocessor: explicit control of simp tracing on a
   178 per-constant basis.  See attribute "code_preproc".
   179 
   180 * Command 'print_term_bindings' supersedes 'print_binds' for clarity,
   181 but the latter is retained some time as Proof General legacy.
   182 
   183 
   184 *** HOL ***
   185 
   186 * Qualified String.implode and String.explode.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   187 
   188 * Command and antiquotation "value" are now hardcoded against nbe and
   189 ML.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   190 
   191 * Separate command "approximate" for approximative computation in
   192 src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   193 
   194 * Adjustion of INF and SUP operations:
   195   - Elongated constants INFI and SUPR to INFIMUM and SUPREMUM.
   196   - Consolidated theorem names containing INFI and SUPR: have INF and
   197     SUP instead uniformly.
   198   - More aggressive normalization of expressions involving INF and Inf
   199     or SUP and Sup.
   200   - INF_image and SUP_image do not unfold composition.
   201   - Dropped facts INF_comp, SUP_comp.
   202   - Default congruence rules strong_INF_cong and strong_SUP_cong, with
   203     simplifier implication in premises.  Generalize and replace former
   204     INT_cong, SUP_cong
   205 
   206 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   207 
   208 * Revisions to HOL/Number_Theory
   209   - consolidated the proofs of the binomial theorem
   210   - the function fib is again of type nat=>nat and not overloaded
   211   - no more references to Old_Number_Theory in the HOL libraries (except the AFP)
   212 
   213 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   214 
   215 * Swapped orientation of facts image_comp and vimage_comp:
   216 
   217   image_compose ~> image_comp [symmetric]
   218   image_comp ~> image_comp [symmetric]
   219   vimage_compose ~> vimage_comp [symmetric]
   220   vimage_comp ~> vimage_comp [symmetric]
   221 
   222 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   223 
   224 * Simplifier: Enhanced solver of preconditions of rewrite rules can
   225 now deal with conjunctions.  For help with converting proofs, the old
   226 behaviour of the simplifier can be restored like this: declare/using
   227 [[simp_legacy_precond]].  This configuration option will disappear
   228 again in the future.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   229 
   230 * HOL-Word:
   231   - Abandoned fact collection "word_arith_alts", which is a duplicate
   232     of "word_arith_wis".
   233   - Dropped first (duplicated) element in fact collections
   234     "sint_word_ariths", "word_arith_alts", "uint_word_ariths",
   235     "uint_word_arith_bintrs".
   236 
   237 * Code generator: enforce case of identifiers only for strict target
   238 language requirements.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   239 
   240 * Code generator: explicit proof contexts in many ML interfaces.
   241 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   242 
   243 * Code generator: minimize exported identifiers by default.  Minor
   244 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   245 
   246 * Code generation for SML and OCaml: dropped arcane "no_signatures"
   247 option.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   248 
   249 * Simproc "finite_Collect" is no longer enabled by default, due to
   250 spurious crashes and other surprises.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
   251 
   252 * Moved new (co)datatype package and its dependencies from session
   253   "HOL-BNF" to "HOL".  The commands 'bnf', 'wrap_free_constructors',
   254   'datatype_new', 'codatatype', 'primcorec', 'primcorecursive' are now
   255   part of theory "Main".

   291 
   292 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   293 
   294 * New (co)datatype package:
   295   - Command 'primcorec' is fully implemented.

   304     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   305   - The generated constants "xxx_case" and "xxx_rec" have been renamed
   306     "case_xxx" and "rec_xxx" (e.g., "prod_case" ~> "case_prod").
   307     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   308   - The constant "xxx_(un)fold" and related theorems are no longer
   309     generated.  Use "xxx_(co)rec" or define "xxx_(un)fold" manually
   310     using "prim(co)rec".
   311     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   312   - No discriminators are generated for nullary constructors by
   313     default, eliminating the need for the odd "=:" syntax.
   314     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   315   - No discriminators or selectors are generated by default by
   316     "datatype_new", unless custom names are specified or the new
   317     "discs_sels" option is passed.
   318     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   319 
   320 * Old datatype package:
   321   - The generated theorems "xxx.cases" and "xxx.recs" have been
   322     renamed "xxx.case" and "xxx.rec" (e.g., "sum.cases" ->
   323     "sum.case").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   324   - The generated constants "xxx_case", "xxx_rec", and "xxx_size" have
   325     been renamed "case_xxx", "rec_xxx", and "size_xxx" (e.g.,
   326     "prod_case" ~> "case_prod").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   327 
   328 * The types "'a list" and "'a option", their set and map functions,
   329   their relators, and their selectors are now produced using the new
   330   BNF-based datatype package.
   331 
   332   Renamed constants:
   333     Option.set ~> set_option

   439 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   440 
   441 * New internal SAT solver "cdclite" that produces models and proof
   442 traces.  This solver replaces the internal SAT solvers "enumerate" and
   443 "dpll".  Applications that explicitly used one of these two SAT
   444 solvers should use "cdclite" instead. In addition, "cdclite" is now
   445 the default SAT solver for the "sat" and "satx" proof methods and
   446 corresponding tactics; the old default can be restored using "declare
   447 [[sat_solver = zchaff_with_proofs]]".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   448 
   449 * SMT module: A new version of the SMT module, temporarily called
   450 "SMT2", uses SMT-LIB 2 and supports recent versions of Z3 (e.g.,
   451 4.3). The new proof method is called "smt2". CVC3 and CVC4 are also
   452 supported as oracles. Yices is no longer supported, because no version
   453 of the solver can handle both SMT-LIB 2 and quantifiers.
   454 
   455 * Sledgehammer:
   456   - Z3 can now produce Isar proofs.
   457   - MaSh overhaul:
   458     . New SML-based learning engines eliminate the dependency on
   459       Python and increase performance and reliability.
   460     . MaSh and MeSh are now used by default together with the
   461       traditional MePo (Meng-Paulson) relevance filter. To disable
   462       MaSh, set the "MaSh" system option in Isabelle/jEdit Plugin
   463       Options / Isabelle / General to "none".
   464   - New option:
   465       smt_proofs
   466   - Renamed options:

   473 (full_types)' instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
   474 
   475 * Try0: Added 'algebra' and 'meson' to the set of proof methods.
   476 
   477 * Command renaming: enriched_type ~> functor. INCOMPATIBILITY.
   478 
   479 * The symbol "\<newline>" may be used within char or string literals
   480 to represent (Char Nibble0 NibbleA), i.e. ASCII newline.
   481 
   482 * Activation of Z3 now works via "z3_non_commercial" system option
   483 (without requiring restart), instead of former settings variable
   484 "Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL".  The option can be edited in Isabelle/jEdit menu
   485 Plugin Options / Isabelle / General.

   489 
   490 * "declare [[code drop: ...]]" drops all code equations associated
   491 with the given constants.

   571 
   572 * Abolished neg_numeral.
   573   - Canonical representation for minus one is "- 1".
   574   - Canonical representation for other negative numbers is "- (numeral _)".
   575   - When devising rule sets for number calculation, consider the
   576     following canonical cases: 0, 1, numeral _, - 1, - numeral _.
   577   - HOLogic.dest_number also recognizes numerals in non-canonical forms
   578     like "numeral One", "- numeral One", "- 0" and even "- ... - _".
   579   - Syntax for negative numerals is mere input syntax.

   607 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   608 
   609 To restore proofs, the following patterns are helpful:
   610 
   611 a) Arbitrary failing proof not involving "diff_def":
   612 Consider simplification with algebra_simps or field_simps.
   613 
   614 b) Lifting rules from addition to subtraction:
   615 Try with "using <rule for addition> of [... "- _" ...]" by simp".
   616 
   617 c) Simplification with "diff_def": just drop "diff_def".
   618 Consider simplification with algebra_simps or field_simps;
   619 or the brute way with
   620 "simp add: diff_conv_add_uminus del: add_uminus_conv_diff".
   621 
   622 * SUP and INF generalized to conditionally_complete_lattice.
   623 
   624 * Theory Lubs moved HOL image to HOL-Library. It is replaced by
   625 Conditionally_Complete_Lattices.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   626 
   627 * Introduce bdd_above and bdd_below in theory
   628 Conditionally_Complete_Lattices, use them instead of explicitly
   629 stating boundedness of sets.
   630 
   631 * ccpo.admissible quantifies only over non-empty chains to allow more
   632 syntax-directed proof rules; the case of the empty chain shows up as
   633 additional case in fixpoint induction proofs.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   634 
   635 * Removed and renamed theorems in Series:

   662 
   663   - "(f has_field_derivative f') (at x within s)" replaces "DERIV f x : s : f'"
   664 
   665   - "f differentiable at x within s" replaces "_ differentiable _ in _" syntax
   666 
   667   - removed constant isDiff
   668 
   669   - "DERIV f x : f'" and "FDERIV f x : f'" syntax is only available as
   670     input syntax.
   671 
   672   - "DERIV f x : s : f'" and "FDERIV f x : s : f'" syntax removed.
   673 
   674   - Renamed FDERIV_... lemmas to has_derivative_...
   675 
   676   - renamed deriv (the syntax constant used for "DERIV _ _ :> _") to DERIV
   677 
   678   - removed DERIV_intros, has_derivative_eq_intros
   679 
   680   - introduced derivative_intros and deriative_eq_intros which
   681     includes now rules for DERIV, has_derivative and
   682     has_vector_derivative.

   696 continuous_on_intros, isCont_intros collections, these facts are now
   697 in continuous_intros.
   698 
   699 * Theorems about complex numbers are now stated only using Re and Im,
   700 the Complex constructor is not used anymore. It is possible to use
   701 primcorec to defined the behaviour of a complex-valued function.
   702 
   703 Removed theorems about the Complex constructor from the simpset, they
   704 are available as the lemma collection legacy_Complex_simps. This
   705 especially removes
   706 
   707     i_complex_of_real: "ii * complex_of_real r = Complex 0 r".
   708 
   709 Instead the reverse direction is supported with
   710     Complex_eq: "Complex a b = a + \<i> * b"
   711 
   712 Moved csqrt from Fundamental_Algebra_Theorem to Complex.

   743 
   744 * Removed solvers remote_cvc3 and remote_z3. Use cvc3 and z3 instead.
   745 
   746 * Nitpick:
   747   - Fixed soundness bug whereby mutually recursive datatypes could
   748     take infinite values.
   749   - Fixed soundness bug with low-level number functions such as
   750     "Abs_Integ" and "Rep_Integ".
   751   - Removed "std" option.
   752   - Renamed "show_datatypes" to "show_types" and "hide_datatypes" to
   753     "hide_types".
   754 
   755 * HOL-Multivariate_Analysis:
   756   - Type class ordered_real_vector for ordered vector spaces.
   757   - New theory Complex_Basic_Analysis defining complex derivatives,
   758     holomorphic functions, etc., ported from HOL Light's canal.ml.
   759   - Changed order of ordered_euclidean_space to be compatible with
   760     pointwise ordering on products. Therefore instance of
   761     conditionally_complete_lattice and ordered_real_vector.
   762     INCOMPATIBILITY: use box instead of greaterThanLessThan or
   763     explicit set-comprehensions with eucl_less for other (half-)open
   764     intervals.

   823     The following theorems where removed:
   824 
   825     lebesgue_integral_nonneg
   826     lebesgue_integral_uminus
   827     lebesgue_integral_cmult
   828     lebesgue_integral_multc
   829     lebesgue_integral_cmult_nonneg
   830     integral_cmul_indicator
   831     integral_real
   832 
   833   - Renamed positive_integral to nn_integral:
   834 
   835     . Renamed all lemmas "*positive_integral*" to *nn_integral*"
   836       positive_integral_positive ~> nn_integral_nonneg
   837 
   838     . Renamed abbreviation integral\<^sup>P to integral\<^sup>N.
   839 
   840   - Formalized properties about exponentially, Erlang, and normal
   841     distributed random variables.
   842 
   843 * Removed theory src/HOL/Library/Kleene_Algebra.thy; it is subsumed by
   844 session Kleene_Algebra in AFP.
   845 
   846 
   847 *** Scala ***
   848 
   849 * The signature and semantics of Document.Snapshot.cumulate_markup /
   850 select_markup have been clarified.  Markup is now traversed in the
   851 order of reports given by the prover: later markup is usually more
   852 specific and may override results accumulated so far.  The elements
   853 guard is mandatory and checked precisely.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
   854 
   855 * Substantial reworking of internal PIDE protocol communication
   856 channels.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   857 
   858 
   859 *** ML ***
   860 
   861 * Moved ML_Compiler.exn_trace and other operations on exceptions to
   862 structure Runtime.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   863 
   864 * Discontinued old Toplevel.debug in favour of system option
   865 "ML_exception_trace", which may be also declared within the context
   866 via "declare [[ML_exception_trace = true]]".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   867 
   868 * Renamed configuration option "ML_trace" to "ML_source_trace". Minor
   869 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   870 
   871 * Configuration option "ML_print_depth" controls the pretty-printing
   872 depth of the ML compiler within the context.  The old print_depth in
   873 ML is still available as default_print_depth, but rarely used.  Minor
   874 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   875 
   876 * Proper context discipline for read_instantiate and instantiate_tac:
   877 variables that are meant to become schematic need to be given as
   878 fixed, and are generalized by the explicit context of local variables.
   879 This corresponds to Isar attributes "where" and "of" with 'for'
   880 declaration.  INCOMPATIBILITY, also due to potential change of indices
   881 of schematic variables.
   882 
   883 * Toplevel function "use" refers to raw ML bootstrap environment,
   884 without Isar context nor antiquotations.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
   885 Note that 'ML_file' is the canonical command to load ML files into the
   886 formal context.
   887 
   888 * Proper context for basic Simplifier operations: rewrite_rule,
   889 rewrite_goals_rule, rewrite_goals_tac etc. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to
   890 pass runtime Proof.context (and ensure that the simplified entity
   891 actually belongs to it).
   892 
   893 * Subtle change of semantics of Thm.eq_thm: theory stamps are not
   894 compared (according to Thm.thm_ord), but assumed to be covered by the
   895 current background theory.  Thus equivalent data produced in different
   896 branches of the theory graph usually coincides (e.g. relevant for
   897 theory merge).  Note that the softer Thm.eq_thm_prop is often more
   898 appropriate than Thm.eq_thm.
   899 
   900 * Simplified programming interface to define ML antiquotations, see
   901 structure ML_Antiquotation.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   902 
   903 * ML antiquotation @{here} refers to its source position, which is
   904 occasionally useful for experimentation and diagnostic purposes.
   905 
   906 * ML antiquotation @{path} produces a Path.T value, similarly to
   907 Path.explode, but with compile-time check against the file-system and
   908 some PIDE markup.  Note that unlike theory source, ML does not have a
   909 well-defined master directory, so an absolute symbolic path
   910 specification is usually required, e.g. "~~/src/HOL".
   911 
   912 * ML antiquotation @{print} inlines a function to print an arbitrary
   913 ML value, which is occasionally useful for diagnostic or demonstration
   914 purposes.
   915 
   916 
   917 *** System ***
   918 
   919 * Proof General with its traditional helper scripts is now an optional
   920 Isabelle component, e.g. ProofGeneral-4.2-2 from the Isabelle
   921 component repository http://isabelle.in.tum.de/components/.  See also
   922 the "system" manual for general explanations about add-on components,
   923 notably those that are not bundled with the normal release.
   924 
   925 * The raw Isabelle process executable has been renamed from
   926 "isabelle-process" to "isabelle_process", which conforms to common
   927 shell naming conventions, and allows to define a shell function within
   928 the Isabelle environment to avoid dynamic path lookup.  Rare
   929 incompatibility for old tools that do not use the $ISABELLE_PROCESS
   930 settings variable yet.
   931 
   932 * Former "isabelle tty" has been superseded by "isabelle console",
   933 with implicit build like "isabelle jedit", and without the mostly
   934 obsolete Isar TTY loop.
   935 
   936 * Simplified "isabelle display" tool.  Settings variables DVI_VIEWER
   937 and PDF_VIEWER now refer to the actual programs, not shell
   938 command-lines.  Discontinued option -c: invocation may be asynchronous
   939 via desktop environment, without any special precautions.  Potential
   940 INCOMPATIBILITY with ambitious private settings.
   941 
   942 * Removed obsolete "isabelle unsymbolize".  Note that the usual format
   943 for email communication is the Unicode rendering of Isabelle symbols,
   944 as produced by Isabelle/jEdit, for example.
   945 
   946 * Removed obsolete tool "wwwfind". Similar functionality may be
   947 integrated into Isabelle/jEdit eventually.
   948 
   949 * Improved 'display_drafts' concerning desktop integration and
   950 repeated invocation in PIDE front-end: re-use single file
   951 $ISABELLE_HOME_USER/tmp/drafts.pdf and corresponding views.
   952 
   953 * Windows: support for regular TeX installation (e.g. MiKTeX) instead
   954 of TeX Live from Cygwin.
   955 
   956 * Session ROOT specifications require explicit 'document_files' for
   957 robust dependencies on LaTeX sources.  Only these explicitly given
   958 files are copied to the document output directory, before document
   959 processing is started.
   960 
   961 
   962 
   963 New in Isabelle2013-2 (December 2013)
   964 -------------------------------------
   965 
   966 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
   967 
   968 * More robust editing of running commands with internal forks,
   969 e.g. non-terminating 'by' steps.
   970 
   971 * More relaxed Sledgehammer panel: avoid repeated application of query
   972 after edits surrounding the command location.
   973 
   974 * More status information about commands that are interrupted
   975 accidentally (via physical event or Poly/ML runtime system signal,
   976 e.g. out-of-memory).
   977 
   978 
   979 *** System ***
   980 
   981 * More robust termination of external processes managed by
   982 Isabelle/ML: support cancellation of tasks within the range of
   983 milliseconds, as required for PIDE document editing with automatically
   984 tried tools (e.g. Sledgehammer).
   985 
   986 * Reactivated Isabelle/Scala kill command for external processes on
   987 Mac OS X, which was accidentally broken in Isabelle2013-1 due to a
   988 workaround for some Debian/Ubuntu Linux versions from 2013.
   989 
   990 
   991 
   992 New in Isabelle2013-1 (November 2013)
   993 -------------------------------------
   994 
   995 *** General ***
   996 
   997 * Discontinued obsolete 'uses' within theory header.  Note that
   998 commands like 'ML_file' work without separate declaration of file
   999 dependencies.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1000 
  1001 * Discontinued redundant 'use' command, which was superseded by
  1002 'ML_file' in Isabelle2013.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1003 
  1004 * Simplified subscripts within identifiers, using plain \<^sub>
  1005 instead of the second copy \<^isub> and \<^isup>.  Superscripts are
  1006 only for literal tokens within notation; explicit mixfix annotations
  1007 for consts or fixed variables may be used as fall-back for unusual
  1008 names.  Obsolete \<twosuperior> has been expanded to \<^sup>2 in
  1009 Isabelle/HOL.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "isabelle update_sub_sup" to
  1010 standardize symbols as a starting point for further manual cleanup.
  1011 The ML reference variable "legacy_isub_isup" may be set as temporary
  1012 workaround, to make the prover accept a subset of the old identifier
  1013 syntax.
  1014 
  1015 * Document antiquotations: term style "isub" has been renamed to
  1016 "sub".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1017 
  1018 * Uniform management of "quick_and_dirty" as system option (see also
  1019 "isabelle options"), configuration option within the context (see also
  1020 Config.get in Isabelle/ML), and attribute in Isabelle/Isar.  Minor
  1021 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use more official Isabelle means to access
  1022 quick_and_dirty, instead of historical poking into mutable reference.
  1023 
  1024 * Renamed command 'print_configs' to 'print_options'.  Minor
  1025 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1026 
  1027 * Proper diagnostic command 'print_state'.  Old 'pr' (with its
  1028 implicit change of some global references) is retained for now as
  1029 control command, e.g. for ProofGeneral 3.7.x.
  1030 
  1031 * Discontinued 'print_drafts' command with its old-fashioned PS output
  1032 and Unix command-line print spooling.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: use
  1033 'display_drafts' instead and print via the regular document viewer.
  1034 
  1035 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual,
  1036 eliminated old "ref" manual.
  1037 
  1038 
  1039 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
  1040 
  1041 * New manual "jedit" for Isabelle/jEdit, see isabelle doc or
  1042 Documentation panel.
  1043 
  1044 * Dockable window "Documentation" provides access to Isabelle
  1045 documentation.
  1046 
  1047 * Dockable window "Find" provides query operations for formal entities
  1048 (GUI front-end to 'find_theorems' command).
  1049 
  1050 * Dockable window "Sledgehammer" manages asynchronous / parallel
  1051 sledgehammer runs over existing document sources, independently of
  1052 normal editing and checking process.
  1053 
  1054 * Dockable window "Timing" provides an overview of relevant command
  1055 timing information, depending on option jedit_timing_threshold.  The
  1056 same timing information is shown in the extended tooltip of the
  1057 command keyword, when hovering the mouse over it while the CONTROL or
  1058 COMMAND modifier is pressed.
  1059 
  1060 * Improved dockable window "Theories": Continuous checking of proof
  1061 document (visible and required parts) may be controlled explicitly,
  1062 using check box or shortcut "C+e ENTER".  Individual theory nodes may
  1063 be marked explicitly as required and checked in full, using check box
  1064 or shortcut "C+e SPACE".
  1065 
  1066 * Improved completion mechanism, which is now managed by the
  1067 Isabelle/jEdit plugin instead of SideKick.  Refined table of Isabelle
  1068 symbol abbreviations (see $ISABELLE_HOME/etc/symbols).
  1069 
  1070 * Standard jEdit keyboard shortcut C+b complete-word is remapped to
  1071 isabelle.complete for explicit completion in Isabelle sources.
  1072 INCOMPATIBILITY wrt. jEdit defaults, may have to invent new shortcuts
  1073 to resolve conflict.
  1074 
  1075 * Improved support of various "minor modes" for Isabelle NEWS,
  1076 options, session ROOT etc., with completion and SideKick tree view.
  1077 
  1078 * Strictly monotonic document update, without premature cancellation of
  1079 running transactions that are still needed: avoid reset/restart of
  1080 such command executions while editing.
  1081 
  1082 * Support for asynchronous print functions, as overlay to existing
  1083 document content.
  1084 
  1085 * Support for automatic tools in HOL, which try to prove or disprove
  1086 toplevel theorem statements.
  1087 
  1088 * Action isabelle.reset-font-size resets main text area font size
  1089 according to Isabelle/Scala plugin option "jedit_font_reset_size" (see
  1090 also "Plugin Options / Isabelle / General").  It can be bound to some
  1091 keyboard shortcut by the user (e.g. C+0 and/or C+NUMPAD0).
  1092 
  1093 * File specifications in jEdit (e.g. file browser) may refer to
  1094 $ISABELLE_HOME and $ISABELLE_HOME_USER on all platforms.  Discontinued
  1095 obsolete $ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS variable.
  1096 
  1097 * Improved support for Linux look-and-feel "GTK+", see also "Utilities
  1098 / Global Options / Appearance".
  1099 
  1100 * Improved support of native Mac OS X functionality via "MacOSX"
  1101 plugin, which is now enabled by default.
  1102 
  1103 
  1104 *** Pure ***
  1105 
  1106 * Commands 'interpretation' and 'sublocale' are now target-sensitive.
  1107 In particular, 'interpretation' allows for non-persistent
  1108 interpretation within "context ... begin ... end" blocks offering a
  1109 light-weight alternative to 'sublocale'.  See "isar-ref" manual for
  1110 details.
  1111 
  1112 * Improved locales diagnostic command 'print_dependencies'.
  1113 
  1114 * Discontinued obsolete 'axioms' command, which has been marked as
  1115 legacy since Isabelle2009-2.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use 'axiomatization'
  1116 instead, while observing its uniform scope for polymorphism.
  1117 
  1118 * Discontinued empty name bindings in 'axiomatization'.
  1119 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1120 
  1121 * System option "proofs" has been discontinued.  Instead the global
  1122 state of Proofterm.proofs is persistently compiled into logic images
  1123 as required, notably HOL-Proofs.  Users no longer need to change
  1124 Proofterm.proofs dynamically.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1125 
  1126 * Syntax translation functions (print_translation etc.) always depend
  1127 on Proof.context.  Discontinued former "(advanced)" option -- this is
  1128 now the default.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1129 
  1130 * Former global reference trace_unify_fail is now available as
  1131 configuration option "unify_trace_failure" (global context only).
  1132 
  1133 * SELECT_GOAL now retains the syntactic context of the overall goal
  1134 state (schematic variables etc.).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare
  1135 situations.
  1136 
  1137 
  1138 *** HOL ***
  1139 
  1140 * Stronger precedence of syntax for big intersection and union on
  1141 sets, in accordance with corresponding lattice operations.
  1142 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1143 
  1144 * Notation "{p:A. P}" now allows tuple patterns as well.
  1145 
  1146 * Nested case expressions are now translated in a separate check phase
  1147 rather than during parsing. The data for case combinators is separated
  1148 from the datatype package. The declaration attribute
  1149 "case_translation" can be used to register new case combinators:
  1150 
  1151   declare [[case_translation case_combinator constructor1 ... constructorN]]
  1152 
  1153 * Code generator:
  1154   - 'code_printing' unifies 'code_const' / 'code_type' / 'code_class' /
  1155     'code_instance'.
  1156   - 'code_identifier' declares name hints for arbitrary identifiers in
  1157     generated code, subsuming 'code_modulename'.
  1158 
  1159 See the isar-ref manual for syntax diagrams, and the HOL theories for
  1160 examples.
  1161 
  1162 * Attibute 'code': 'code' now declares concrete and abstract code
  1163 equations uniformly.  Use explicit 'code equation' and 'code abstract'
  1164 to distinguish both when desired.
  1165 
  1166 * Discontinued theories Code_Integer and Efficient_Nat by a more
  1167 fine-grain stack of theories Code_Target_Int, Code_Binary_Nat,
  1168 Code_Target_Nat and Code_Target_Numeral.  See the tutorial on code
  1169 generation for details.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1170 
  1171 * Numeric types are mapped by default to target language numerals:
  1172 natural (replaces former code_numeral) and integer (replaces former
  1173 code_int).  Conversions are available as integer_of_natural /
  1174 natural_of_integer / integer_of_nat / nat_of_integer (in HOL) and
  1175 Code_Numeral.integer_of_natural / Code_Numeral.natural_of_integer (in
  1176 ML).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1177 
  1178 * Function package: For mutually recursive functions f and g, separate
  1179 cases rules f.cases and g.cases are generated instead of unusable
  1180 f_g.cases which exposed internal sum types. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
  1181 in the case that the unusable rule was used nevertheless.
  1182 
  1183 * Function package: For each function f, new rules f.elims are
  1184 generated, which eliminate equalities of the form "f x = t".
  1185 
  1186 * New command 'fun_cases' derives ad-hoc elimination rules for
  1187 function equations as simplified instances of f.elims, analogous to
  1188 inductive_cases.  See ~~/src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy for some examples.
  1189 
  1190 * Lifting:
  1191   - parametrized correspondence relations are now supported:
  1192     + parametricity theorems for the raw term can be specified in
  1193       the command lift_definition, which allow us to generate stronger
  1194       transfer rules
  1195     + setup_lifting generates stronger transfer rules if parametric
  1196       correspondence relation can be generated
  1197     + various new properties of the relator must be specified to support
  1198       parametricity
  1199     + parametricity theorem for the Quotient relation can be specified
  1200   - setup_lifting generates domain rules for the Transfer package
  1201   - stronger reflexivity prover of respectfulness theorems for type
  1202     copies
  1203   - ===> and --> are now local. The symbols can be introduced
  1204     by interpreting the locale lifting_syntax (typically in an
  1205     anonymous context)
  1206   - Lifting/Transfer relevant parts of Library/Quotient_* are now in
  1207     Main. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  1208   - new commands for restoring and deleting Lifting/Transfer context:
  1209     lifting_forget, lifting_update
  1210   - the command print_quotmaps was renamed to print_quot_maps.
  1211     INCOMPATIBILITY
  1212 
  1213 * Transfer:
  1214   - better support for domains in Transfer: replace Domainp T
  1215     by the actual invariant in a transferred goal
  1216   - transfer rules can have as assumptions other transfer rules
  1217   - Experimental support for transferring from the raw level to the
  1218     abstract level: Transfer.transferred attribute
  1219   - Attribute version of the transfer method: untransferred attribute
  1220 
  1221 * Reification and reflection:
  1222   - Reification is now directly available in HOL-Main in structure
  1223     "Reification".
  1224   - Reflection now handles multiple lists with variables also.
  1225   - The whole reflection stack has been decomposed into conversions.
  1226 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1227 
  1228 * Revised devices for recursive definitions over finite sets:
  1229   - Only one fundamental fold combinator on finite set remains:
  1230     Finite_Set.fold :: ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  1231     This is now identity on infinite sets.
  1232   - Locales ("mini packages") for fundamental definitions with
  1233     Finite_Set.fold: folding, folding_idem.
  1234   - Locales comm_monoid_set, semilattice_order_set and
  1235     semilattice_neutr_order_set for big operators on sets.
  1236     See theory Big_Operators for canonical examples.
  1237     Note that foundational constants comm_monoid_set.F and
  1238     semilattice_set.F correspond to former combinators fold_image
  1239     and fold1 respectively.  These are now gone.  You may use
  1240     those foundational constants as substitutes, but it is
  1241     preferable to interpret the above locales accordingly.
  1242   - Dropped class ab_semigroup_idem_mult (special case of lattice,
  1243     no longer needed in connection with Finite_Set.fold etc.)
  1244   - Fact renames:
  1245       card.union_inter ~> card_Un_Int [symmetric]
  1246       card.union_disjoint ~> card_Un_disjoint
  1247 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1248 
  1249 * Locale hierarchy for abstract orderings and (semi)lattices.
  1250 
  1251 * Complete_Partial_Order.admissible is defined outside the type class
  1252 ccpo, but with mandatory prefix ccpo. Admissibility theorems lose the
  1253 class predicate assumption or sort constraint when possible.
  1254 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1255 
  1256 * Introduce type class "conditionally_complete_lattice": Like a
  1257 complete lattice but does not assume the existence of the top and
  1258 bottom elements.  Allows to generalize some lemmas about reals and
  1259 extended reals.  Removed SupInf and replaced it by the instantiation
  1260 of conditionally_complete_lattice for real. Renamed lemmas about
  1261 conditionally-complete lattice from Sup_... to cSup_... and from
  1262 Inf_...  to cInf_... to avoid hidding of similar complete lattice
  1263 lemmas.
  1264 
  1265 * Introduce type class linear_continuum as combination of
  1266 conditionally-complete lattices and inner dense linorders which have
  1267 more than one element.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1268 
  1269 * Introduced type classes order_top and order_bot. The old classes top
  1270 and bot only contain the syntax without assumptions.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  1271 Rename bot -> order_bot, top -> order_top
  1272 
  1273 * Introduce type classes "no_top" and "no_bot" for orderings without
  1274 top and bottom elements.
  1275 
  1276 * Split dense_linorder into inner_dense_order and no_top, no_bot.
  1277 
  1278 * Complex_Main: Unify and move various concepts from
  1279 HOL-Multivariate_Analysis to HOL-Complex_Main.
  1280 
  1281  - Introduce type class (lin)order_topology and
  1282    linear_continuum_topology.  Allows to generalize theorems about
  1283    limits and order.  Instances are reals and extended reals.
  1284 
  1285  - continuous and continuos_on from Multivariate_Analysis:
  1286    "continuous" is the continuity of a function at a filter.  "isCont"
  1287    is now an abbrevitation: "isCont x f == continuous (at _) f".
  1288 
  1289    Generalized continuity lemmas from isCont to continuous on an
  1290    arbitrary filter.
  1291 
  1292  - compact from Multivariate_Analysis. Use Bolzano's lemma to prove
  1293    compactness of closed intervals on reals. Continuous functions
  1294    attain infimum and supremum on compact sets. The inverse of a
  1295    continuous function is continuous, when the function is continuous
  1296    on a compact set.
  1297 
  1298  - connected from Multivariate_Analysis. Use it to prove the
  1299    intermediate value theorem. Show connectedness of intervals on
  1300    linear_continuum_topology).
  1301 
  1302  - first_countable_topology from Multivariate_Analysis. Is used to
  1303    show equivalence of properties on the neighbourhood filter of x and
  1304    on all sequences converging to x.
  1305 
  1306  - FDERIV: Definition of has_derivative moved to Deriv.thy. Moved
  1307    theorems from Library/FDERIV.thy to Deriv.thy and base the
  1308    definition of DERIV on FDERIV. Add variants of DERIV and FDERIV
  1309    which are restricted to sets, i.e. to represent derivatives from
  1310    left or right.
  1311 
  1312  - Removed the within-filter. It is replaced by the principal filter:
  1313 
  1314      F within X = inf F (principal X)
  1315 
  1316  - Introduce "at x within U" as a single constant, "at x" is now an
  1317    abbreviation for "at x within UNIV"
  1318 
  1319  - Introduce named theorem collections tendsto_intros,
  1320    continuous_intros, continuous_on_intros and FDERIV_intros. Theorems
  1321    in tendsto_intros (or FDERIV_intros) are also available as
  1322    tendsto_eq_intros (or FDERIV_eq_intros) where the right-hand side
  1323    is replaced by a congruence rule. This allows to apply them as
  1324    intro rules and then proving equivalence by the simplifier.
  1325 
  1326  - Restructured theories in HOL-Complex_Main:
  1327 
  1328    + Moved RealDef and RComplete into Real
  1329 
  1330    + Introduced Topological_Spaces and moved theorems about
  1331      topological spaces, filters, limits and continuity to it
  1332 
  1333    + Renamed RealVector to Real_Vector_Spaces
  1334 
  1335    + Split Lim, SEQ, Series into Topological_Spaces,
  1336      Real_Vector_Spaces, and Limits
  1337 
  1338    + Moved Ln and Log to Transcendental
  1339 
  1340    + Moved theorems about continuity from Deriv to Topological_Spaces
  1341 
  1342  - Remove various auxiliary lemmas.
  1343 
  1344 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1345 
  1346 * Nitpick:
  1347   - Added option "spy".
  1348   - Reduce incidence of "too high arity" errors.
  1349 
  1350 * Sledgehammer:
  1351   - Renamed option:
  1352       isar_shrink ~> isar_compress
  1353     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1354   - Added options "isar_try0", "spy".
  1355   - Better support for "isar_proofs".
  1356   - MaSh has been fined-tuned and now runs as a local server.
  1357 
  1358 * Improved support for ad hoc overloading of constants (see also
  1359 isar-ref manual and ~~/src/HOL/ex/Adhoc_Overloading_Examples.thy).
  1360 
  1361 * Library/Polynomial.thy:
  1362   - Use lifting for primitive definitions.
  1363   - Explicit conversions from and to lists of coefficients, used for
  1364     generated code.
  1365   - Replaced recursion operator poly_rec by fold_coeffs.
  1366   - Prefer pre-existing gcd operation for gcd.
  1367   - Fact renames:
  1368     poly_eq_iff ~> poly_eq_poly_eq_iff
  1369     poly_ext ~> poly_eqI
  1370     expand_poly_eq ~> poly_eq_iff
  1371 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
  1372 
  1373 * New Library/Simps_Case_Conv.thy: Provides commands simps_of_case and
  1374 case_of_simps to convert function definitions between a list of
  1375 equations with patterns on the lhs and a single equation with case
  1376 expressions on the rhs. See also Ex/Simps_Case_Conv_Examples.thy.
  1377 
  1378 * New Library/FSet.thy: type of finite sets defined as a subtype of
  1379 sets defined by Lifting/Transfer.
  1380 
  1381 * Discontinued theory src/HOL/Library/Eval_Witness.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1382 
  1383 * Consolidation of library theories on product orders:
  1384 
  1385     Product_Lattice ~> Product_Order -- pointwise order on products
  1386     Product_ord ~> Product_Lexorder -- lexicographic order on products
  1387 
  1388 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1389 
  1390 * Imperative-HOL: The MREC combinator is considered legacy and no
  1391 longer included by default. INCOMPATIBILITY, use partial_function
  1392 instead, or import theory Legacy_Mrec as a fallback.
  1393 
  1394 * HOL-Algebra: Discontinued theories ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/abstract and
  1395 ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/poly.  Existing theories should be based on
  1396 ~~/src/HOL/Library/Polynomial instead.  The latter provides
  1397 integration with HOL's type classes for rings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1398 
  1399 * HOL-BNF:
  1400   - Various improvements to BNF-based (co)datatype package, including
  1401     new commands "primrec_new", "primcorec", and
  1402     "datatype_new_compat", as well as documentation. See
  1403     "datatypes.pdf" for details.
  1404   - New "coinduction" method to avoid some boilerplate (compared to
  1405     coinduct).
  1406   - Renamed keywords:
  1407     data ~> datatype_new
  1408     codata ~> codatatype
  1409     bnf_def ~> bnf
  1410   - Renamed many generated theorems, including
  1411     discs ~> disc
  1412     map_comp' ~> map_comp
  1413     map_id' ~> map_id
  1414     sels ~> sel
  1415     set_map' ~> set_map
  1416     sets ~> set
  1417 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
  1418 
  1419 
  1420 *** ML ***
  1421 
  1422 * Spec_Check is a Quickcheck tool for Isabelle/ML.  The ML function
  1423 "check_property" allows to check specifications of the form "ALL x y
  1424 z. prop x y z".  See also ~~/src/Tools/Spec_Check/ with its
  1425 Examples.thy in particular.
  1426 
  1427 * Improved printing of exception trace in Poly/ML 5.5.1, with regular
  1428 tracing output in the command transaction context instead of physical
  1429 stdout.  See also Toplevel.debug, Toplevel.debugging and
  1430 ML_Compiler.exn_trace.
  1431 
  1432 * ML type "theory" is now immutable, without any special treatment of
  1433 drafts or linear updates (which could lead to "stale theory" errors in
  1434 the past).  Discontinued obsolete operations like Theory.copy,
  1435 Theory.checkpoint, and the auxiliary type theory_ref.  Minor
  1436 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1437 
  1438 * More uniform naming of goal functions for skipped proofs:
  1439 
  1440     Skip_Proof.prove  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry
  1441     Skip_Proof.prove_global  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry_global
  1442 
  1443 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1444 
  1445 * Simplifier tactics and tools use proper Proof.context instead of
  1446 historic type simpset.  Old-style declarations like addsimps,
  1447 addsimprocs etc. operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type simpset
  1448 retains its use as snapshot of the main Simplifier context, using
  1449 simpset_of and put_simpset on Proof.context.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- port
  1450 old tools by making them depend on (ctxt : Proof.context) instead of
  1451 (ss : simpset), then turn (simpset_of ctxt) into ctxt.
  1452 
  1453 * Modifiers for classical wrappers (e.g. addWrapper, delWrapper)
  1454 operate on Proof.context instead of claset, for uniformity with addIs,
  1455 addEs, addDs etc. Note that claset_of and put_claset allow to manage
  1456 clasets separately from the context.
  1457 
  1458 * Discontinued obsolete ML antiquotations @{claset} and @{simpset}.
  1459 INCOMPATIBILITY, use @{context} instead.
  1460 
  1461 * Antiquotation @{theory_context A} is similar to @{theory A}, but
  1462 presents the result as initial Proof.context.
  1463 
  1464 
  1465 *** System ***
  1466 
  1467 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle usedir, mkdir, make -- superseded by
  1468 "isabelle build" in Isabelle2013.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1469 
  1470 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle-process options -f and -u (former
  1471 administrative aliases of option -e).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1472 
  1473 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle print tool, and PRINT_COMMAND
  1474 settings variable.
  1475 
  1476 * Discontinued ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT settings variable and historic
  1477 document formats: dvi.gz, ps, ps.gz -- the default document format is
  1478 always pdf.
  1479 
  1480 * Isabelle settings variable ISABELLE_BUILD_JAVA_OPTIONS allows to
  1481 specify global resources of the JVM process run by isabelle build.
  1482 
  1483 * Toplevel executable $ISABELLE_HOME/bin/isabelle_scala_script allows
  1484 to run Isabelle/Scala source files as standalone programs.
  1485 
  1486 * Improved "isabelle keywords" tool (for old-style ProofGeneral
  1487 keyword tables): use Isabelle/Scala operations, which inspect outer
  1488 syntax without requiring to build sessions first.
  1489 
  1490 * Sessions may be organized via 'chapter' specifications in the ROOT
  1491 file, which determines a two-level hierarchy of browser info.  The old
  1492 tree-like organization via implicit sub-session relation (with its
  1493 tendency towards erratic fluctuation of URLs) has been discontinued.
  1494 The default chapter is called "Unsorted".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  1495 for HTML presentation of theories.
  1496 
  1497 
  1498 
  1499 New in Isabelle2013 (February 2013)
  1500 -----------------------------------
  1501 
  1502 *** General ***
  1503 
  1504 * Theorem status about oracles and unfinished/failed future proofs is
  1505 no longer printed by default, since it is incompatible with
  1506 incremental / parallel checking of the persistent document model.  ML
  1507 function Thm.peek_status may be used to inspect a snapshot of the
  1508 ongoing evaluation process.  Note that in batch mode --- notably
  1509 isabelle build --- the system ensures that future proofs of all
  1510 accessible theorems in the theory context are finished (as before).
  1511 
  1512 * Configuration option show_markup controls direct inlining of markup
  1513 into the printed representation of formal entities --- notably type
  1514 and sort constraints.  This enables Prover IDE users to retrieve that
  1515 information via tooltips in the output window, for example.
  1516 
  1517 * Command 'ML_file' evaluates ML text from a file directly within the
  1518 theory, without any predeclaration via 'uses' in the theory header.
  1519 
  1520 * Old command 'use' command and corresponding keyword 'uses' in the
  1521 theory header are legacy features and will be discontinued soon.
  1522 Tools that load their additional source files may imitate the
  1523 'ML_file' implementation, such that the system can take care of
  1524 dependencies properly.
  1525 
  1526 * Discontinued obsolete method fastsimp / tactic fast_simp_tac, which
  1527 is called fastforce / fast_force_tac already since Isabelle2011-1.
  1528 
  1529 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual, reduced
  1530 remaining material in old "ref" manual.
  1531 
  1532 * Improved support for auxiliary contexts that indicate block structure
  1533 for specifications.  Nesting of "context fixes ... context assumes ..."
  1534 and "class ... context ...".
  1535 
  1536 * Attribute "consumes" allows a negative value as well, which is
  1537 interpreted relatively to the total number of premises of the rule in
  1538 the target context.  This form of declaration is stable when exported
  1539 from a nested 'context' with additional assumptions.  It is the
  1540 preferred form for definitional packages, notably cases/rules produced
  1541 in HOL/inductive and HOL/function.
  1542 
  1543 * More informative error messages for Isar proof commands involving
  1544 lazy enumerations (method applications etc.).
  1545 
  1546 * Refined 'help' command to retrieve outer syntax commands according
  1547 to name patterns (with clickable results).
  1548 
  1549 
  1550 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
  1551 
  1552 * Parallel terminal proofs ('by') are enabled by default, likewise
  1553 proofs that are built into packages like 'datatype', 'function'.  This
  1554 allows to "run ahead" checking the theory specifications on the
  1555 surface, while the prover is still crunching on internal
  1556 justifications.  Unfinished / cancelled proofs are restarted as
  1557 required to complete full proof checking eventually.
  1558 
  1559 * Improved output panel with tooltips, hyperlinks etc. based on the
  1560 same Rich_Text_Area as regular Isabelle/jEdit buffers.  Activation of
  1561 tooltips leads to some window that supports the same recursively,
  1562 which can lead to stacks of tooltips as the semantic document content
  1563 is explored.  ESCAPE closes the whole stack, individual windows may be
  1564 closed separately, or detached to become independent jEdit dockables.
  1565 
  1566 * Improved support for commands that produce graph output: the text
  1567 message contains a clickable area to open a new instance of the graph
  1568 browser on demand.
  1569 
  1570 * More robust incremental parsing of outer syntax (partial comments,
  1571 malformed symbols).  Changing the balance of open/close quotes and
  1572 comment delimiters works more conveniently with unfinished situations
  1573 that frequently occur in user interaction.
  1574 
  1575 * More efficient painting and improved reactivity when editing large
  1576 files.  More scalable management of formal document content.
  1577 
  1578 * Smarter handling of tracing messages: prover process pauses after
  1579 certain number of messages per command transaction, with some user
  1580 dialog to stop or continue.  This avoids swamping the front-end with
  1581 potentially infinite message streams.
  1582 
  1583 * More plugin options and preferences, based on Isabelle/Scala.  The
  1584 jEdit plugin option panel provides access to some Isabelle/Scala
  1585 options, including tuning parameters for editor reactivity and color
  1586 schemes.
  1587 
  1588 * Dockable window "Symbols" provides some editing support for Isabelle
  1589 symbols.
  1590 
  1591 * Dockable window "Monitor" shows ML runtime statistics.  Note that
  1592 continuous display of the chart slows down the system.
  1593 
  1594 * Improved editing support for control styles: subscript, superscript,
  1595 bold, reset of style -- operating on single symbols or text
  1596 selections.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C+e DOWN/UP/RIGHT/LEFT.
  1597 
  1598 * Actions isabelle.increase-font-size and isabelle.decrease-font-size
  1599 adjust the main text area font size, and its derivatives for output,
  1600 tooltips etc.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C-PLUS and C-MINUS, which often
  1601 need to be adapted to local keyboard layouts.
  1602 
  1603 * More reactive completion popup by default: use \t (TAB) instead of
  1604 \n (NEWLINE) to minimize intrusion into regular flow of editing.  See
  1605 also "Plugin Options / SideKick / General / Code Completion Options".
  1606 
  1607 * Implicit check and build dialog of the specified logic session
  1608 image.  For example, HOL, HOLCF, HOL-Nominal can be produced on
  1609 demand, without bundling big platform-dependent heap images in the
  1610 Isabelle distribution.
  1611 
  1612 * Uniform Java 7 platform on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows: recent updates
  1613 from Oracle provide better multi-platform experience.  This version is
  1614 now bundled exclusively with Isabelle.
  1615 
  1616 
  1617 *** Pure ***
  1618 
  1619 * Code generation for Haskell: restrict unqualified imports from
  1620 Haskell Prelude to a small set of fundamental operations.
  1621 
  1622 * Command 'export_code': relative file names are interpreted
  1623 relatively to master directory of current theory rather than the
  1624 rather arbitrary current working directory.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1625 
  1626 * Discontinued obsolete attribute "COMP".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
  1627 use regular rule composition via "OF" / "THEN", or explicit proof
  1628 structure instead.  Note that Isabelle/ML provides a variety of
  1629 operators like COMP, INCR_COMP, COMP_INCR, which need to be applied
  1630 with some care where this is really required.
  1631 
  1632 * Command 'typ' supports an additional variant with explicit sort
  1633 constraint, to infer and check the most general type conforming to a
  1634 given sort.  Example (in HOL):
  1635 
  1636   typ "_ * _ * bool * unit" :: finite
  1637 
  1638 * Command 'locale_deps' visualizes all locales and their relations as
  1639 a Hasse diagram.
  1640 
  1641 
  1642 *** HOL ***
  1643 
  1644 * Sledgehammer:
  1645 
  1646   - Added MaSh relevance filter based on machine-learning; see the
  1647     Sledgehammer manual for details.
  1648   - Polished Isar proofs generated with "isar_proofs" option.
  1649   - Rationalized type encodings ("type_enc" option).
  1650   - Renamed "kill_provers" subcommand to "kill_all".
  1651   - Renamed options:
  1652       isar_proof ~> isar_proofs
  1653       isar_shrink_factor ~> isar_shrink
  1654       max_relevant ~> max_facts
  1655       relevance_thresholds ~> fact_thresholds
  1656 
  1657 * Quickcheck: added an optimisation for equality premises.  It is
  1658 switched on by default, and can be switched off by setting the
  1659 configuration quickcheck_optimise_equality to false.
  1660 
  1661 * Quotient: only one quotient can be defined by quotient_type
  1662 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1663 
  1664 * Lifting:
  1665   - generation of an abstraction function equation in lift_definition
  1666   - quot_del attribute
  1667   - renamed no_abs_code -> no_code (INCOMPATIBILITY.)
  1668 
  1669 * Simproc "finite_Collect" rewrites set comprehensions into pointfree
  1670 expressions.
  1671 
  1672 * Preprocessing of the code generator rewrites set comprehensions into
  1673 pointfree expressions.
  1674 
  1675 * The SMT solver Z3 has now by default a restricted set of directly
  1676 supported features. For the full set of features (div/mod, nonlinear
  1677 arithmetic, datatypes/records) with potential proof reconstruction
  1678 failures, enable the configuration option "z3_with_extensions".  Minor
  1679 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1680 
  1681 * Simplified 'typedef' specifications: historical options for implicit
  1682 set definition and alternative name have been discontinued.  The
  1683 former behavior of "typedef (open) t = A" is now the default, but
  1684 written just "typedef t = A".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt theories
  1685 accordingly.
  1686 
  1687 * Removed constant "chars"; prefer "Enum.enum" on type "char"
  1688 directly.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1689 
  1690 * Moved operation product, sublists and n_lists from theory Enum to
  1691 List.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1692 
  1693 * Theorem UN_o generalized to SUP_comp.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1694 
  1695 * Class "comm_monoid_diff" formalises properties of bounded
  1696 subtraction, with natural numbers and multisets as typical instances.
  1697 
  1698 * Added combinator "Option.these" with type "'a option set => 'a set".
  1699 
  1700 * Theory "Transitive_Closure": renamed lemmas
  1701 
  1702   reflcl_tranclp -> reflclp_tranclp
  1703   rtranclp_reflcl -> rtranclp_reflclp
  1704 
  1705 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1706 
  1707 * Theory "Rings": renamed lemmas (in class semiring)
  1708 
  1709   left_distrib ~> distrib_right
  1710   right_distrib ~> distrib_left
  1711 
  1712 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1713 
  1714 * Generalized the definition of limits:
  1715 
  1716   - Introduced the predicate filterlim (LIM x F. f x :> G) which
  1717     expresses that when the input values x converge to F then the
  1718     output f x converges to G.
  1719 
  1720   - Added filters for convergence to positive (at_top) and negative
  1721     infinity (at_bot).
  1722 
  1723   - Moved infinity in the norm (at_infinity) from
  1724     Multivariate_Analysis to Complex_Main.
  1725 
  1726   - Removed real_tendsto_inf, it is superseded by "LIM x F. f x :>
  1727     at_top".
  1728 
  1729 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1730 
  1731 * Theory "Library/Option_ord" provides instantiation of option type to
  1732 lattice type classes.
  1733 
  1734 * Theory "Library/Multiset": renamed
  1735 
  1736     constant fold_mset ~> Multiset.fold
  1737     fact fold_mset_commute ~> fold_mset_comm
  1738 
  1739 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1740 
  1741 * Renamed theory Library/List_Prefix to Library/Sublist, with related
  1742 changes as follows.
  1743 
  1744   - Renamed constants (and related lemmas)
  1745 
  1746       prefix ~> prefixeq
  1747       strict_prefix ~> prefix
  1748 
  1749   - Replaced constant "postfix" by "suffixeq" with swapped argument
  1750     order (i.e., "postfix xs ys" is now "suffixeq ys xs") and dropped
  1751     old infix syntax "xs >>= ys"; use "suffixeq ys xs" instead.
  1752     Renamed lemmas accordingly.
  1753 
  1754   - Added constant "list_hembeq" for homeomorphic embedding on
  1755     lists. Added abbreviation "sublisteq" for special case
  1756     "list_hembeq (op =)".
  1757 
  1758   - Theory Library/Sublist no longer provides "order" and "bot" type
  1759     class instances for the prefix order (merely corresponding locale
  1760     interpretations). The type class instances are now in theory
  1761     Library/Prefix_Order.
  1762 
  1763   - The sublist relation of theory Library/Sublist_Order is now based
  1764     on "Sublist.sublisteq".  Renamed lemmas accordingly:
  1765 
  1766       le_list_append_le_same_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append_le_same_iff
  1767       le_list_append_mono ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_append_mono
  1768       le_list_below_empty ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil, Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil2
  1769       le_list_Cons_EX ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_ConsD
  1770       le_list_drop_Cons2 ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2'
  1771       le_list_drop_Cons_neq ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2_neq
  1772       le_list_drop_Cons ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons'
  1773       le_list_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_drop_many
  1774       le_list_filter_left ~> Sublist.sublisteq_filter_left
  1775       le_list_rev_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_rev_drop_many
  1776       le_list_rev_take_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append
  1777       le_list_same_length ~> Sublist.sublisteq_same_length
  1778       le_list_take_many_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append'
  1779       less_eq_list.drop ~> less_eq_list_drop
  1780       less_eq_list.induct ~> less_eq_list_induct
  1781       not_le_list_length ~> Sublist.not_sublisteq_length
  1782 
  1783 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1784 
  1785 * New theory Library/Countable_Set.
  1786 
  1787 * Theory Library/Debug and Library/Parallel provide debugging and
  1788 parallel execution for code generated towards Isabelle/ML.
  1789 
  1790 * Theory Library/FuncSet: Extended support for Pi and extensional and
  1791 introduce the extensional dependent function space "PiE". Replaced
  1792 extensional_funcset by an abbreviation, and renamed lemmas from
  1793 extensional_funcset to PiE as follows:
  1794 
  1795   extensional_empty  ~>  PiE_empty
  1796   extensional_funcset_empty_domain  ~>  PiE_empty_domain
  1797   extensional_funcset_empty_range  ~>  PiE_empty_range
  1798   extensional_funcset_arb  ~>  PiE_arb
  1799   extensional_funcset_mem  ~>  PiE_mem
  1800   extensional_funcset_extend_domainI  ~>  PiE_fun_upd
  1801   extensional_funcset_restrict_domain  ~>  fun_upd_in_PiE
  1802   extensional_funcset_extend_domain_eq  ~>  PiE_insert_eq
  1803   card_extensional_funcset  ~>  card_PiE
  1804   finite_extensional_funcset  ~>  finite_PiE
  1805 
  1806 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1807 
  1808 * Theory Library/FinFun: theory of almost everywhere constant
  1809 functions (supersedes the AFP entry "Code Generation for Functions as
  1810 Data").
  1811 
  1812 * Theory Library/Phantom: generic phantom type to make a type
  1813 parameter appear in a constant's type.  This alternative to adding
  1814 TYPE('a) as another parameter avoids unnecessary closures in generated
  1815 code.
  1816 
  1817 * Theory Library/RBT_Impl: efficient construction of red-black trees
  1818 from sorted associative lists. Merging two trees with rbt_union may
  1819 return a structurally different tree than before.  Potential
  1820 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1821 
  1822 * Theory Library/IArray: immutable arrays with code generation.
  1823 
  1824 * Theory Library/Finite_Lattice: theory of finite lattices.
  1825 
  1826 * HOL/Multivariate_Analysis: replaced
  1827 
  1828   "basis :: 'a::euclidean_space => nat => real"
  1829   "\<Chi>\<Chi> :: (nat => real) => 'a::euclidean_space"
  1830 
  1831 on euclidean spaces by using the inner product "_ \<bullet> _" with
  1832 vectors from the Basis set: "\<Chi>\<Chi> i. f i" is superseded by
  1833 "SUM i : Basis. f i * r i".
  1834 
  1835   With this change the following constants are also changed or removed:
  1836 
  1837     DIM('a) :: nat  ~>  card (Basis :: 'a set)   (is an abbreviation)
  1838     a $$ i  ~>  inner a i  (where i : Basis)
  1839     cart_base i  removed
  1840     \<pi>, \<pi>'  removed
  1841 
  1842   Theorems about these constants where removed.
  1843 
  1844   Renamed lemmas:
  1845 
  1846     component_le_norm  ~>  Basis_le_norm
  1847     euclidean_eq  ~>  euclidean_eq_iff
  1848     differential_zero_maxmin_component  ~>  differential_zero_maxmin_cart
  1849     euclidean_simps  ~>  inner_simps
  1850     independent_basis  ~>  independent_Basis
  1851     span_basis  ~>  span_Basis
  1852     in_span_basis  ~>  in_span_Basis
  1853     norm_bound_component_le  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_le
  1854     norm_bound_component_lt  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_lt
  1855     component_le_infnorm  ~>  Basis_le_infnorm
  1856 
  1857 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1858 
  1859 * HOL/Probability:
  1860 
  1861   - Added simproc "measurable" to automatically prove measurability.
  1862 
  1863   - Added induction rules for sigma sets with disjoint union
  1864     (sigma_sets_induct_disjoint) and for Borel-measurable functions
  1865     (borel_measurable_induct).
  1866 
  1867   - Added the Daniell-Kolmogorov theorem (the existence the limit of a
  1868     projective family).
  1869 
  1870 * HOL/Cardinals: Theories of ordinals and cardinals (supersedes the
  1871 AFP entry "Ordinals_and_Cardinals").
  1872 
  1873 * HOL/BNF: New (co)datatype package based on bounded natural functors
  1874 with support for mixed, nested recursion and interesting non-free
  1875 datatypes.
  1876 
  1877 * HOL/Finite_Set and Relation: added new set and relation operations
  1878 expressed by Finite_Set.fold.
  1879 
  1880 * New theory HOL/Library/RBT_Set: implementation of sets by red-black
  1881 trees for the code generator.
  1882 
  1883 * HOL/Library/RBT and HOL/Library/Mapping have been converted to
  1884 Lifting/Transfer.
  1885 possible INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1886 
  1887 * HOL/Set: renamed Set.project -> Set.filter
  1888 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1889 
  1890 
  1891 *** Document preparation ***
  1892 
  1893 * Dropped legacy antiquotations "term_style" and "thm_style", since
  1894 styles may be given as arguments to "term" and "thm" already.
  1895 Discontinued legacy styles "prem1" .. "prem19".
  1896 
  1897 * Default LaTeX rendering for \<euro> is now based on eurosym package,
  1898 instead of slightly exotic babel/greek.
  1899 
  1900 * Document variant NAME may use different LaTeX entry point
  1901 document/root_NAME.tex if that file exists, instead of the common
  1902 document/root.tex.
  1903 
  1904 * Simplified custom document/build script, instead of old-style
  1905 document/IsaMakefile.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1906 
  1907 
  1908 *** ML ***
  1909 
  1910 * The default limit for maximum number of worker threads is now 8,
  1911 instead of 4, in correspondence to capabilities of contemporary
  1912 hardware and Poly/ML runtime system.
  1913 
  1914 * Type Seq.results and related operations support embedded error
  1915 messages within lazy enumerations, and thus allow to provide
  1916 informative errors in the absence of any usable results.
  1917 
  1918 * Renamed Position.str_of to Position.here to emphasize that this is a
  1919 formal device to inline positions into message text, but not
  1920 necessarily printing visible text.
  1921 
  1922 
  1923 *** System ***
  1924 
  1925 * Advanced support for Isabelle sessions and build management, see
  1926 "system" manual for the chapter of that name, especially the "isabelle
  1927 build" tool and its examples.  The "isabelle mkroot" tool prepares
  1928 session root directories for use with "isabelle build", similar to
  1929 former "isabelle mkdir" for "isabelle usedir".  Note that this affects
  1930 document preparation as well.  INCOMPATIBILITY, isabelle usedir /
  1931 mkdir / make are rendered obsolete.
  1932 
  1933 * Discontinued obsolete Isabelle/build script, it is superseded by the
  1934 regular isabelle build tool.  For example:
  1935 
  1936   isabelle build -s -b HOL
  1937 
  1938 * Discontinued obsolete "isabelle makeall".
  1939 
  1940 * Discontinued obsolete IsaMakefile and ROOT.ML files from the
  1941 Isabelle distribution, except for rudimentary src/HOL/IsaMakefile that
  1942 provides some traditional targets that invoke "isabelle build".  Note
  1943 that this is inefficient!  Applications of Isabelle/HOL involving
  1944 "isabelle make" should be upgraded to use "isabelle build" directly.
  1945 
  1946 * The "isabelle options" tool prints Isabelle system options, as
  1947 required for "isabelle build", for example.
  1948 
  1949 * The "isabelle logo" tool produces EPS and PDF format simultaneously.
  1950 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY in command-line options.
  1951 
  1952 * The "isabelle install" tool has now a simpler command-line.  Minor
  1953 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1954 
  1955 * The "isabelle components" tool helps to resolve add-on components
  1956 that are not bundled, or referenced from a bare-bones repository
  1957 version of Isabelle.
  1958 
  1959 * Settings variable ISABELLE_PLATFORM_FAMILY refers to the general
  1960 platform family: "linux", "macos", "windows".
  1961 
  1962 * The ML system is configured as regular component, and no longer
  1963 picked up from some surrounding directory.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  1964 for home-made settings.
  1965 
  1966 * Improved ML runtime statistics (heap, threads, future tasks etc.).
  1967 
  1968 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2.1, which was the last version
  1969 without exception positions and advanced ML compiler/toplevel
  1970 configuration.
  1971 
  1972 * Discontinued special treatment of Proof General -- no longer guess
  1973 PROOFGENERAL_HOME based on accidental file-system layout.  Minor
  1974 INCOMPATIBILITY: provide PROOFGENERAL_HOME and PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS
  1975 settings manually, or use a Proof General version that has been
  1976 bundled as Isabelle component.
  1977 
  1978 
  1979 
  1980 New in Isabelle2012 (May 2012)
  1981 ------------------------------
  1982 
  1983 *** General ***
  1984 
  1985 * Prover IDE (PIDE) improvements:
  1986 
  1987   - more robust Sledgehammer integration (as before the sledgehammer
  1988     command-line needs to be typed into the source buffer)
  1989   - markup for bound variables
  1990   - markup for types of term variables (displayed as tooltips)
  1991   - support for user-defined Isar commands within the running session
  1992   - improved support for Unicode outside original 16bit range
  1993     e.g. glyph for \<A> (thanks to jEdit 4.5.1)
  1994 
  1995 * Forward declaration of outer syntax keywords within the theory
  1996 header -- minor INCOMPATIBILITY for user-defined commands.  Allow new
  1997 commands to be used in the same theory where defined.
  1998 
  1999 * Auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for specifications with
  2000 additional parameters and assumptions.  Such unnamed contexts may be
  2001 nested within other targets, like 'theory', 'locale', 'class',
  2002 'instantiation' etc.  Results from the local context are generalized
  2003 accordingly and applied to the enclosing target context.  Example:
  2004 
  2005   context
  2006     fixes x y z :: 'a
  2007     assumes xy: "x = y" and yz: "y = z"
  2008   begin
  2009 
  2010   lemma my_trans: "x = z" using xy yz by simp
  2011 
  2012   end
  2013 
  2014   thm my_trans
  2015 
  2016 The most basic application is to factor-out context elements of
  2017 several fixes/assumes/shows theorem statements, e.g. see
  2018 ~~/src/HOL/Isar_Examples/Group_Context.thy
  2019 
  2020 Any other local theory specification element works within the "context
  2021 ... begin ... end" block as well.
  2022 
  2023 * Bundled declarations associate attributed fact expressions with a
  2024 given name in the context.  These may be later included in other
  2025 contexts.  This allows to manage context extensions casually, without
  2026 the logical dependencies of locales and locale interpretation.  See
  2027 commands 'bundle', 'include', 'including' etc. in the isar-ref manual.
  2028 
  2029 * Commands 'lemmas' and 'theorems' allow local variables using 'for'
  2030 declaration, and results are standardized before being stored.  Thus
  2031 old-style "standard" after instantiation or composition of facts
  2032 becomes obsolete.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, due to potential change of
  2033 indices of schematic variables.
  2034 
  2035 * Rule attributes in local theory declarations (e.g. locale or class)
  2036 are now statically evaluated: the resulting theorem is stored instead
  2037 of the original expression.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  2038 the historic accident of dynamic re-evaluation in interpretations
  2039 etc. was exploited.
  2040 
  2041 * New tutorial "Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL"
  2042 ("prog-prove").  It completely supersedes "A Tutorial Introduction to
  2043 Structured Isar Proofs" ("isar-overview"), which has been removed.  It
  2044 also supersedes "Isabelle/HOL, A Proof Assistant for Higher-Order
  2045 Logic" as the recommended beginners tutorial, but does not cover all
  2046 of the material of that old tutorial.
  2047 
  2048 * Updated and extended reference manuals: "isar-ref",
  2049 "implementation", "system"; reduced remaining material in old "ref"
  2050 manual.
  2051 
  2052 
  2053 *** Pure ***
  2054 
  2055 * Command 'definition' no longer exports the foundational "raw_def"
  2056 into the user context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, may use the regular
  2057 "def" result with attribute "abs_def" to imitate the old version.
  2058 
  2059 * Attribute "abs_def" turns an equation of the form "f x y == t" into
  2060 "f == %x y. t", which ensures that "simp" or "unfold" steps always
  2061 expand it.  This also works for object-logic equality.  (Formerly
  2062 undocumented feature.)
  2063 
  2064 * Sort constraints are now propagated in simultaneous statements, just
  2065 like type constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  2066 distinct sorts used to be assigned accidentally.  For example:
  2067 
  2068   lemma "P (x::'a::foo)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"  -- "now illegal"
  2069 
  2070   lemma "P (x::'a)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"
  2071     -- "now uniform 'a::bar instead of default sort for first occurrence (!)"
  2072 
  2073 * Rule composition via attribute "OF" (or ML functions OF/MRS) is more
  2074 tolerant against multiple unifiers, as long as the final result is
  2075 unique.  (As before, rules are composed in canonical right-to-left
  2076 order to accommodate newly introduced premises.)
  2077 
  2078 * Renamed some inner syntax categories:
  2079 
  2080     num ~> num_token
  2081     xnum ~> xnum_token
  2082     xstr ~> str_token
  2083 
  2084 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that in practice "num_const" or
  2085 "num_position" etc. are mainly used instead (which also include
  2086 position information via constraints).
  2087 
  2088 * Simplified configuration options for syntax ambiguity: see
  2089 "syntax_ambiguity_warning" and "syntax_ambiguity_limit" in isar-ref
  2090 manual.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2091 
  2092 * Discontinued configuration option "syntax_positions": atomic terms
  2093 in parse trees are always annotated by position constraints.
  2094 
  2095 * Old code generator for SML and its commands 'code_module',
  2096 'code_library', 'consts_code', 'types_code' have been discontinued.
  2097 Use commands of the generic code generator instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2098 
  2099 * Redundant attribute "code_inline" has been discontinued. Use
  2100 "code_unfold" instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2101 
  2102 * Dropped attribute "code_unfold_post" in favor of the its dual
  2103 "code_abbrev", which yields a common pattern in definitions like
  2104 
  2105   definition [code_abbrev]: "f = t"
  2106 
  2107 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2108 
  2109 * Obsolete 'types' command has been discontinued.  Use 'type_synonym'
  2110 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2111 
  2112 * Discontinued old "prems" fact, which used to refer to the accidental
  2113 collection of foundational premises in the context (already marked as
  2114 legacy since Isabelle2011).
  2115 
  2116 
  2117 *** HOL ***
  2118 
  2119 * Type 'a set is now a proper type constructor (just as before
  2120 Isabelle2008).  Definitions mem_def and Collect_def have disappeared.
  2121 Non-trivial INCOMPATIBILITY.  For developments keeping predicates and
  2122 sets separate, it is often sufficient to rephrase some set S that has
  2123 been accidentally used as predicates by "%x. x : S", and some
  2124 predicate P that has been accidentally used as set by "{x. P x}".
  2125 Corresponding proofs in a first step should be pruned from any
  2126 tinkering with former theorems mem_def and Collect_def as far as
  2127 possible.
  2128 
  2129 For developments which deliberately mix predicates and sets, a
  2130 planning step is necessary to determine what should become a predicate
  2131 and what a set.  It can be helpful to carry out that step in
  2132 Isabelle2011-1 before jumping right into the current release.
  2133 
  2134 * Code generation by default implements sets as container type rather
  2135 than predicates.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2136 
  2137 * New type synonym 'a rel = ('a * 'a) set
  2138 
  2139 * The representation of numerals has changed.  Datatype "num"
  2140 represents strictly positive binary numerals, along with functions
  2141 "numeral :: num => 'a" and "neg_numeral :: num => 'a" to represent
  2142 positive and negated numeric literals, respectively.  See also
  2143 definitions in ~~/src/HOL/Num.thy.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, some
  2144 user theories may require adaptations as follows:
  2145 
  2146   - Theorems with number_ring or number_semiring constraints: These
  2147     classes are gone; use comm_ring_1 or comm_semiring_1 instead.
  2148 
  2149   - Theories defining numeric types: Remove number, number_semiring,
  2150     and number_ring instances. Defer all theorems about numerals until
  2151     after classes one and semigroup_add have been instantiated.
  2152 
  2153   - Numeral-only simp rules: Replace each rule having a "number_of v"
  2154     pattern with two copies, one for numeral and one for neg_numeral.
  2155 
  2156   - Theorems about subclasses of semiring_1 or ring_1: These classes
  2157     automatically support numerals now, so more simp rules and
  2158     simprocs may now apply within the proof.
  2159 
  2160   - Definitions and theorems using old constructors Pls/Min/Bit0/Bit1:
  2161     Redefine using other integer operations.
  2162 
  2163 * Transfer: New package intended to generalize the existing
  2164 "descending" method and related theorem attributes from the Quotient
  2165 package.  (Not all functionality is implemented yet, but future
  2166 development will focus on Transfer as an eventual replacement for the
  2167 corresponding parts of the Quotient package.)
  2168 
  2169   - transfer_rule attribute: Maintains a collection of transfer rules,
  2170     which relate constants at two different types. Transfer rules may
  2171     relate different type instances of the same polymorphic constant,
  2172     or they may relate an operation on a raw type to a corresponding
  2173     operation on an abstract type (quotient or subtype). For example:
  2174 
  2175     ((A ===> B) ===> list_all2 A ===> list_all2 B) map map
  2176     (cr_int ===> cr_int ===> cr_int) (%(x,y) (u,v). (x+u, y+v)) plus_int
  2177 
  2178   - transfer method: Replaces a subgoal on abstract types with an
  2179     equivalent subgoal on the corresponding raw types. Constants are
  2180     replaced with corresponding ones according to the transfer rules.
  2181     Goals are generalized over all free variables by default; this is
  2182     necessary for variables whose types change, but can be overridden
  2183     for specific variables with e.g. "transfer fixing: x y z".  The
  2184     variant transfer' method allows replacing a subgoal with one that
  2185     is logically stronger (rather than equivalent).
  2186 
  2187   - relator_eq attribute: Collects identity laws for relators of
  2188     various type constructors, e.g. "list_all2 (op =) = (op =)".  The
  2189     transfer method uses these lemmas to infer transfer rules for
  2190     non-polymorphic constants on the fly.
  2191 
  2192   - transfer_prover method: Assists with proving a transfer rule for a
  2193     new constant, provided the constant is defined in terms of other
  2194     constants that already have transfer rules. It should be applied
  2195     after unfolding the constant definitions.
  2196 
  2197   - HOL/ex/Transfer_Int_Nat.thy: Example theory demonstrating transfer
  2198     from type nat to type int.
  2199 
  2200 * Lifting: New package intended to generalize the quotient_definition
  2201 facility of the Quotient package; designed to work with Transfer.
  2202 
  2203   - lift_definition command: Defines operations on an abstract type in
  2204     terms of a corresponding operation on a representation
  2205     type.  Example syntax:
  2206 
  2207     lift_definition dlist_insert :: "'a => 'a dlist => 'a dlist"
  2208       is List.insert
  2209 
  2210     Users must discharge a respectfulness proof obligation when each
  2211     constant is defined. (For a type copy, i.e. a typedef with UNIV,
  2212     the proof is discharged automatically.) The obligation is
  2213     presented in a user-friendly, readable form; a respectfulness
  2214     theorem in the standard format and a transfer rule are generated
  2215     by the package.
  2216 
  2217   - Integration with code_abstype: For typedefs (e.g. subtypes
  2218     corresponding to a datatype invariant, such as dlist),
  2219     lift_definition generates a code certificate theorem and sets up
  2220     code generation for each constant.
  2221 
  2222   - setup_lifting command: Sets up the Lifting package to work with a
  2223     user-defined type. The user must provide either a quotient theorem
  2224     or a type_definition theorem.  The package configures transfer
  2225     rules for equality and quantifiers on the type, and sets up the
  2226     lift_definition command to work with the type.
  2227 
  2228   - Usage examples: See Quotient_Examples/Lift_DList.thy,
  2229     Quotient_Examples/Lift_RBT.thy, Quotient_Examples/Lift_FSet.thy,
  2230     Word/Word.thy and Library/Float.thy.
  2231 
  2232 * Quotient package:
  2233 
  2234   - The 'quotient_type' command now supports a 'morphisms' option with
  2235     rep and abs functions, similar to typedef.
  2236 
  2237   - 'quotient_type' sets up new types to work with the Lifting and
  2238     Transfer packages, as with 'setup_lifting'.
  2239 
  2240   - The 'quotient_definition' command now requires the user to prove a
  2241     respectfulness property at the point where the constant is
  2242     defined, similar to lift_definition; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2243 
  2244   - Renamed predicate 'Quotient' to 'Quotient3', and renamed theorems
  2245     accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2246 
  2247 * New diagnostic command 'find_unused_assms' to find potentially
  2248 superfluous assumptions in theorems using Quickcheck.
  2249 
  2250 * Quickcheck:
  2251 
  2252   - Quickcheck returns variable assignments as counterexamples, which
  2253     allows to reveal the underspecification of functions under test.
  2254     For example, refuting "hd xs = x", it presents the variable
  2255     assignment xs = [] and x = a1 as a counterexample, assuming that
  2256     any property is false whenever "hd []" occurs in it.
  2257 
  2258     These counterexample are marked as potentially spurious, as
  2259     Quickcheck also returns "xs = []" as a counterexample to the
  2260     obvious theorem "hd xs = hd xs".
  2261 
  2262     After finding a potentially spurious counterexample, Quickcheck
  2263     continues searching for genuine ones.
  2264 
  2265     By default, Quickcheck shows potentially spurious and genuine
  2266     counterexamples. The option "genuine_only" sets quickcheck to only
  2267     show genuine counterexamples.
  2268 
  2269   - The command 'quickcheck_generator' creates random and exhaustive
  2270     value generators for a given type and operations.
  2271 
  2272     It generates values by using the operations as if they were
  2273     constructors of that type.
  2274 
  2275   - Support for multisets.
  2276 
  2277   - Added "use_subtype" options.
  2278 
  2279   - Added "quickcheck_locale" configuration to specify how to process
  2280     conjectures in a locale context.
  2281 
  2282 * Nitpick: Fixed infinite loop caused by the 'peephole_optim' option
  2283 and affecting 'rat' and 'real'.
  2284 
  2285 * Sledgehammer:
  2286   - Integrated more tightly with SPASS, as described in the ITP 2012
  2287     paper "More SPASS with Isabelle".
  2288   - Made it try "smt" as a fallback if "metis" fails or times out.
  2289   - Added support for the following provers: Alt-Ergo (via Why3 and
  2290     TFF1), iProver, iProver-Eq.
  2291   - Sped up the minimizer.
  2292   - Added "lam_trans", "uncurry_aliases", and "minimize" options.
  2293   - Renamed "slicing" ("no_slicing") option to "slice" ("dont_slice").
  2294   - Renamed "sound" option to "strict".
  2295 
  2296 * Metis: Added possibility to specify lambda translations scheme as a
  2297 parenthesized argument (e.g., "by (metis (lifting) ...)").
  2298 
  2299 * SMT: Renamed "smt_fixed" option to "smt_read_only_certificates".
  2300 
  2301 * Command 'try0': Renamed from 'try_methods'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2302 
  2303 * New "case_product" attribute to generate a case rule doing multiple
  2304 case distinctions at the same time.  E.g.
  2305 
  2306   list.exhaust [case_product nat.exhaust]
  2307 
  2308 produces a rule which can be used to perform case distinction on both
  2309 a list and a nat.
  2310 
  2311 * New "eventually_elim" method as a generalized variant of the
  2312 eventually_elim* rules.  Supports structured proofs.
  2313 
  2314 * Typedef with implicit set definition is considered legacy.  Use
  2315 "typedef (open)" form instead, which will eventually become the
  2316 default.
  2317 
  2318 * Record: code generation can be switched off manually with
  2319 
  2320   declare [[record_coden = false]]  -- "default true"
  2321 
  2322 * Datatype: type parameters allow explicit sort constraints.
  2323 
  2324 * Concrete syntax for case expressions includes constraints for source
  2325 positions, and thus produces Prover IDE markup for its bindings.
  2326 INCOMPATIBILITY for old-style syntax translations that augment the
  2327 pattern notation; e.g. see src/HOL/HOLCF/One.thy for translations of
  2328 one_case.
  2329 
  2330 * Clarified attribute "mono_set": pure declaration without modifying
  2331 the result of the fact expression.
  2332 
  2333 * More default pred/set conversions on a couple of relation operations
  2334 and predicates.  Added powers of predicate relations.  Consolidation
  2335 of some relation theorems:
  2336 
  2337   converse_def ~> converse_unfold
  2338   rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
  2339   symp_def ~> (modified, use symp_def and sym_def instead)
  2340   transp_def ~> transp_trans
  2341   Domain_def ~> Domain_unfold
  2342   Range_def ~> Domain_converse [symmetric]
  2343 
  2344 Generalized theorems INF_INT_eq, INF_INT_eq2, SUP_UN_eq, SUP_UN_eq2.
  2345 
  2346 See theory "Relation" for examples for making use of pred/set
  2347 conversions by means of attributes "to_set" and "to_pred".
  2348 
  2349 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2350 
  2351 * Renamed facts about the power operation on relations, i.e., relpow
  2352 to match the constant's name:
  2353 
  2354   rel_pow_1 ~> relpow_1
  2355   rel_pow_0_I ~> relpow_0_I
  2356   rel_pow_Suc_I ~> relpow_Suc_I

  2363   rel_pow_Suc_D2' ~> relpow_Suc_D2'
  2364   rel_pow_E2 ~> relpow_E2
  2365   rel_pow_add ~> relpow_add
  2366   rel_pow_commute ~> relpow
  2367   rel_pow_empty ~> relpow_empty:

  2370   rtrancl_is_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_is_UN_relpow

  2376   trancl_finite_eq_rel_pow ~> trancl_finite_eq_relpow
  2377   single_valued_rel_pow ~> single_valued_relpow
  2378 
  2379 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2380 
  2381 * Theory Relation: Consolidated constant name for relation composition
  2382 and corresponding theorem names:
  2383 
  2384   - Renamed constant rel_comp to relcomp.
  2385 
  2386   - Dropped abbreviation pred_comp. Use relcompp instead.
  2387 
  2388   - Renamed theorems:
  2389 
  2390     rel_compI ~> relcompI
  2391     rel_compEpair ~> relcompEpair
  2392     rel_compE ~> relcompE

  2416     set_rel_comp ~> set_relcomp
  2417 
  2418 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2419 
  2420 * Theory Divides: Discontinued redundant theorems about div and mod.

  2442   mod_mult_distrib ~> mult_mod_left
  2443   mod_mult_distrib2 ~> mult_mod_right
  2444 
  2445 * Removed redundant theorems nat_mult_2 and nat_mult_2_right; use
  2446 generic mult_2 and mult_2_right instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2447 
  2448 * Finite_Set.fold now qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2449 
  2450 * Consolidated theorem names concerning fold combinators:

  2470 
  2471 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2472 
  2473 * Dropped rarely useful theorems concerning fold combinators:

  2479 foldr_conv_foldl, start_le_sum, elem_le_sum, sum_eq_0_conv.
  2480 INCOMPATIBILITY.  For the common phrases "%xs. List.foldr plus xs 0"
  2481 and "List.foldl plus 0", prefer "List.listsum".  Otherwise it can be
  2482 useful to boil down "List.foldr" and "List.foldl" to "List.fold" by
  2483 unfolding "foldr_conv_fold" and "foldl_conv_fold".
  2484 
  2485 * Dropped lemmas minus_set_foldr, union_set_foldr, union_coset_foldr,

  2487 Min_fin_set_foldr, Max_fin_set_foldr, Inf_set_foldr, Sup_set_foldr,

  2545 are expressed via type classes again. The special syntax
  2546 \<oplus>/\<otimes> has been replaced by plain +/*. Removed constant
  2547 setsum_set, which is now subsumed by Big_Operators.setsum.
  2548 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2549 
  2550 * Theory HOL/Library/Diagonalize has been removed. INCOMPATIBILITY,
  2551 use theory HOL/Library/Nat_Bijection instead.
  2552 
  2553 * Theory HOL/Library/RBT_Impl: Backing implementation of red-black
  2554 trees is now inside a type class context.  Names of affected
  2555 operations and lemmas have been prefixed by rbt_.  INCOMPATIBILITY for
  2556 theories working directly with raw red-black trees, adapt the names as
  2557 follows:

  2729 * New theory HOL/Library/DAList provides an abstract type for
  2730 association lists with distinct keys.
  2731 
  2732 * Session HOL/IMP: Added new theory of abstract interpretation of
  2733 annotated commands.
  2734 
  2735 * Session HOL-Import: Re-implementation from scratch is faster,
  2736 simpler, and more scalable.  Requires a proof bundle, which is
  2737 available as an external component.  Discontinued old (and mostly
  2738 dead) Importer for HOL4 and HOL Light.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2739 
  2740 * Session HOL-Word: Discontinued many redundant theorems specific to
  2741 type 'a word. INCOMPATIBILITY, use the corresponding generic theorems
  2742 instead.

  2786 * Session HOL-Word: New proof method "word_bitwise" for splitting
  2787 machine word equalities and inequalities into logical circuits,
  2788 defined in HOL/Word/WordBitwise.thy.  Supports addition, subtraction,
  2789 multiplication, shifting by constants, bitwise operators and numeric
  2790 constants.  Requires fixed-length word types, not 'a word.  Solves
  2791 many standard word identities outright and converts more into first
  2792 order problems amenable to blast or similar.  See also examples in
  2793 HOL/Word/Examples/WordExamples.thy.
  2794 
  2795 * Session HOL-Probability: Introduced the type "'a measure" to
  2796 represent measures, this replaces the records 'a algebra and 'a
  2797 measure_space.  The locales based on subset_class now have two
  2798 locale-parameters the space \<Omega> and the set of measurable sets M.
  2799 The product of probability spaces uses now the same constant as the
  2800 finite product of sigma-finite measure spaces "PiM :: ('i => 'a)
  2801 measure".  Most constants are defined now outside of locales and gain
  2802 an additional parameter, like null_sets, almost_eventually or \<mu>'.
  2803 Measure space constructions for distributions and densities now got
  2804 their own constants distr and density.  Instead of using locales to
  2805 describe measure spaces with a finite space, the measure count_space
  2806 and point_measure is introduced.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2967 
  2968 * Session HOL-TPTP: support to parse and import TPTP problems (all
  2969 languages) into Isabelle/HOL.
  2970 
  2971 
  2972 *** FOL ***
  2973 
  2974 * New "case_product" attribute (see HOL).
  2975 
  2976 
  2977 *** ZF ***
  2978 
  2979 * Greater support for structured proofs involving induction or case
  2980 analysis.
  2981 
  2982 * Much greater use of mathematical symbols.
  2983 
  2984 * Removal of many ML theorem bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2985 
  2986 
  2987 *** ML ***
  2988 
  2989 * Antiquotation @{keyword "name"} produces a parser for outer syntax
  2990 from a minor keyword introduced via theory header declaration.
  2991 
  2992 * Antiquotation @{command_spec "name"} produces the
  2993 Outer_Syntax.command_spec from a major keyword introduced via theory
  2994 header declaration; it can be passed to Outer_Syntax.command etc.
  2995 
  2996 * Local_Theory.define no longer hard-wires default theorem name
  2997 "foo_def", but retains the binding as given.  If that is Binding.empty
  2998 / Attrib.empty_binding, the result is not registered as user-level
  2999 fact.  The Local_Theory.define_internal variant allows to specify a
  3000 non-empty name (used for the foundation in the background theory),
  3001 while omitting the fact binding in the user-context.  Potential
  3002 INCOMPATIBILITY for derived definitional packages: need to specify
  3003 naming policy for primitive definitions more explicitly.
  3004 
  3005 * Renamed Thm.capply to Thm.apply, and Thm.cabs to Thm.lambda in
  3006 conformance with similar operations in structure Term and Logic.
  3007 
  3008 * Antiquotation @{attributes [...]} embeds attribute source
  3009 representation into the ML text, which is particularly useful with
  3010 declarations like Local_Theory.note.
  3011 
  3012 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  3013 ProofContext has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3014 
  3015 * Refined Local_Theory.declaration {syntax, pervasive}, with subtle
  3016 change of semantics: update is applied to auxiliary local theory
  3017 context as well.
  3018 
  3019 * Modernized some old-style infix operations:
  3020 
  3021   addeqcongs    ~> Simplifier.add_eqcong
  3022   deleqcongs    ~> Simplifier.del_eqcong
  3023   addcongs      ~> Simplifier.add_cong
  3024   delcongs      ~> Simplifier.del_cong
  3025   setmksimps    ~> Simplifier.set_mksimps
  3026   setmkcong     ~> Simplifier.set_mkcong
  3027   setmksym      ~> Simplifier.set_mksym
  3028   setmkeqTrue   ~> Simplifier.set_mkeqTrue
  3029   settermless   ~> Simplifier.set_termless
  3030   setsubgoaler  ~> Simplifier.set_subgoaler
  3031   addsplits     ~> Splitter.add_split
  3032   delsplits     ~> Splitter.del_split
  3033 
  3034 
  3035 *** System ***
  3036 
  3037 * USER_HOME settings variable points to cross-platform user home
  3038 directory, which coincides with HOME on POSIX systems only.  Likewise,
  3039 the Isabelle path specification "~" now expands to $USER_HOME, instead
  3040 of former $HOME.  A different default for USER_HOME may be set
  3041 explicitly in shell environment, before Isabelle settings are
  3042 evaluated.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: need to adapt Isabelle path where
  3043 the generic user home was intended.
  3044 
  3045 * ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS refers to ISABELLE_HOME in windows file name
  3046 notation, which is useful for the jEdit file browser, for example.
  3047 
  3048 * ISABELLE_JDK_HOME settings variable points to JDK with javac and jar
  3049 (not just JRE).
  3050 
  3051 
  3052 
  3053 New in Isabelle2011-1 (October 2011)
  3054 ------------------------------------
  3055 
  3056 *** General ***
  3057 
  3058 * Improved Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE (PIDE), which can be invoked as
  3059 "isabelle jedit" or "ISABELLE_HOME/Isabelle" on the command line.
  3060 
  3061   - Management of multiple theory files directly from the editor
  3062     buffer store -- bypassing the file-system (no requirement to save
  3063     files for checking).
  3064 
  3065   - Markup of formal entities within the text buffer, with semantic
  3066     highlighting, tooltips and hyperlinks to jump to defining source
  3067     positions.
  3068 
  3069   - Improved text rendering, with sub/superscripts in the source
  3070     buffer (including support for copy/paste wrt. output panel, HTML
  3071     theory output and other non-Isabelle text boxes).
  3072 
  3073   - Refined scheduling of proof checking and printing of results,
  3074     based on interactive editor view.  (Note: jEdit folding and
  3075     narrowing allows to restrict buffer perspectives explicitly.)
  3076 
  3077   - Reduced CPU performance requirements, usable on machines with few
  3078     cores.
  3079 
  3080   - Reduced memory requirements due to pruning of unused document
  3081     versions (garbage collection).
  3082 
  3083 See also ~~/src/Tools/jEdit/README.html for further information,
  3084 including some remaining limitations.
  3085 
  3086 * Theory loader: source files are exclusively located via the master
  3087 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  3088 The global load path (such as src/HOL/Library) has been discontinued.
  3089 Note that the path element ~~ may be used to reference theories in the
  3090 Isabelle home folder -- for instance, "~~/src/HOL/Library/FuncSet".
  3091 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3092 
  3093 * Theory loader: source files are identified by content via SHA1
  3094 digests.  Discontinued former path/modtime identification and optional
  3095 ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT plugin scripts.
  3096 
  3097 * Parallelization of nested Isar proofs is subject to
  3098 Goal.parallel_proofs_threshold (default 100).  See also isabelle
  3099 usedir option -Q.
  3100 
  3101 * Name space: former unsynchronized references are now proper
  3102 configuration options, with more conventional names:
  3103 
  3104   long_names   ~> names_long
  3105   short_names  ~> names_short
  3106   unique_names ~> names_unique
  3107 
  3108 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, need to declare options in context like this:
  3109 
  3110   declare [[names_unique = false]]
  3111 
  3112 * Literal facts `prop` may contain dummy patterns, e.g. `_ = _`.  Note
  3113 that the result needs to be unique, which means fact specifications
  3114 may have to be refined after enriching a proof context.
  3115 
  3116 * Attribute "case_names" has been refined: the assumptions in each case
  3117 can be named now by following the case name with [name1 name2 ...].
  3118 
  3119 * Isabelle/Isar reference manual has been updated and extended:
  3120   - "Synopsis" provides a catalog of main Isar language concepts.
  3121   - Formal references in syntax diagrams, via @{rail} antiquotation.
  3122   - Updated material from classic "ref" manual, notably about
  3123     "Classical Reasoner".
  3124 
  3125 
  3126 *** HOL ***
  3127 
  3128 * Class bot and top require underlying partial order rather than
  3129 preorder: uniqueness of bot and top is guaranteed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3130 
  3131 * Class complete_lattice: generalized a couple of lemmas from sets;
  3132 generalized theorems INF_cong and SUP_cong.  New type classes for
  3133 complete boolean algebras and complete linear orders.  Lemmas
  3134 Inf_less_iff, less_Sup_iff, INF_less_iff, less_SUP_iff now reside in
  3135 class complete_linorder.
  3136 
  3137 Changed proposition of lemmas Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, Inf_fun_def,
  3138 Sup_fun_def, Inf_apply, Sup_apply.
  3139 
  3140 Removed redundant lemmas (the right hand side gives hints how to
  3141 replace them for (metis ...), or (simp only: ...) proofs):
  3142 
  3143   Inf_singleton ~> Inf_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Inf_empty inf_top_right]
  3144   Sup_singleton ~> Sup_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Sup_empty sup_bot_right]
  3145   Inf_binary ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  3146   Sup_binary ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  3147   Int_eq_Inter ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  3148   Un_eq_Union ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  3149   Inter_def ~> INF_def, image_def
  3150   Union_def ~> SUP_def, image_def
  3151   INT_eq ~> INF_def, and image_def
  3152   UN_eq ~> SUP_def, and image_def
  3153   INF_subset ~> INF_superset_mono [OF _ order_refl]
  3154 
  3155 More consistent and comprehensive names:
  3156 
  3157   INTER_eq_Inter_image ~> INF_def
  3158   UNION_eq_Union_image ~> SUP_def
  3159   INFI_def ~> INF_def
  3160   SUPR_def ~> SUP_def
  3161   INF_leI ~> INF_lower
  3162   INF_leI2 ~> INF_lower2
  3163   le_INFI ~> INF_greatest
  3164   le_SUPI ~> SUP_upper
  3165   le_SUPI2 ~> SUP_upper2
  3166   SUP_leI ~> SUP_least
  3167   INFI_bool_eq ~> INF_bool_eq
  3168   SUPR_bool_eq ~> SUP_bool_eq
  3169   INFI_apply ~> INF_apply
  3170   SUPR_apply ~> SUP_apply
  3171   INTER_def ~> INTER_eq
  3172   UNION_def ~> UNION_eq
  3173 
  3174 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3175 
  3176 * Renamed theory Complete_Lattice to Complete_Lattices.
  3177 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3178 
  3179 * Theory Complete_Lattices: lemmas Inf_eq_top_iff, INF_eq_top_iff,
  3180 INF_image, Inf_insert, INF_top, Inf_top_conv, INF_top_conv, SUP_bot,
  3181 Sup_bot_conv, SUP_bot_conv, Sup_eq_top_iff, SUP_eq_top_iff, SUP_image,
  3182 Sup_insert are now declared as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3183 
  3184 * Theory Lattice: lemmas compl_inf_bot, compl_le_comp_iff,
  3185 compl_sup_top, inf_idem, inf_left_idem, inf_sup_absorb, sup_idem,
  3186 sup_inf_absob, sup_left_idem are now declared as [simp].  Minor
  3187 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3188 
  3189 * Added syntactic classes "inf" and "sup" for the respective
  3190 constants.  INCOMPATIBILITY: Changes in the argument order of the
  3191 (mostly internal) locale predicates for some derived classes.
  3192 
  3193 * Theorem collections ball_simps and bex_simps do not contain theorems
  3194 referring to UNION any longer; these have been moved to collection
  3195 UN_ball_bex_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3196 
  3197 * Theory Archimedean_Field: floor now is defined as parameter of a
  3198 separate type class floor_ceiling.
  3199 
  3200 * Theory Finite_Set: more coherent development of fold_set locales:
  3201 
  3202     locale fun_left_comm ~> locale comp_fun_commute
  3203     locale fun_left_comm_idem ~> locale comp_fun_idem
  3204 
  3205 Both use point-free characterization; interpretation proofs may need
  3206 adjustment.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3207 
  3208 * Theory Limits: Type "'a net" has been renamed to "'a filter", in
  3209 accordance with standard mathematical terminology. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3210 
  3211 * Theory Complex_Main: The locale interpretations for the
  3212 bounded_linear and bounded_bilinear locales have been removed, in
  3213 order to reduce the number of duplicate lemmas. Users must use the
  3214 original names for distributivity theorems, potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3310 * Theory Complex_Main: The definition of infinite series was
  3311 generalized.  Now it is defined on the type class {topological_space,
  3312 comm_monoid_add}.  Hence it is useable also for extended real numbers.
  3313 
  3314 * Theory Complex_Main: The complex exponential function "expi" is now
  3315 a type-constrained abbreviation for "exp :: complex => complex"; thus
  3316 several polymorphic lemmas about "exp" are now applicable to "expi".
  3317 
  3318 * Code generation:
  3319 
  3320   - Theory Library/Code_Char_ord provides native ordering of
  3321     characters in the target language.
  3322 
  3323   - Commands code_module and code_library are legacy, use export_code
  3324     instead.
  3325 
  3326   - Method "evaluation" is legacy, use method "eval" instead.
  3327 
  3328   - Legacy evaluator "SML" is deactivated by default.  May be
  3329     reactivated by the following theory command:
  3330 
  3331       setup {* Value.add_evaluator ("SML", Codegen.eval_term) *}
  3332 
  3333 * Declare ext [intro] by default.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3334 
  3335 * New proof method "induction" that gives induction hypotheses the
  3336 name "IH", thus distinguishing them from further hypotheses that come
  3337 from rule induction.  The latter are still called "hyps".  Method
  3338 "induction" is a thin wrapper around "induct" and follows the same
  3339 syntax.
  3340 
  3341 * Method "fastsimp" has been renamed to "fastforce", but "fastsimp" is
  3342 still available as a legacy feature for some time.
  3343 
  3344 * Nitpick:
  3345   - Added "need" and "total_consts" options.
  3346   - Reintroduced "show_skolems" option by popular demand.
  3347   - Renamed attribute: nitpick_def ~> nitpick_unfold.
  3348     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3349 
  3350 * Sledgehammer:
  3351   - Use quasi-sound (and efficient) translations by default.
  3352   - Added support for the following provers: E-ToFoF, LEO-II,
  3353     Satallax, SNARK, Waldmeister, and Z3 with TPTP syntax.
  3354   - Automatically preplay and minimize proofs before showing them if
  3355     this can be done within reasonable time.
  3356   - sledgehammer available_provers ~> sledgehammer supported_provers.
  3357     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3358   - Added "preplay_timeout", "slicing", "type_enc", "sound",
  3359     "max_mono_iters", and "max_new_mono_instances" options.
  3360   - Removed "explicit_apply" and "full_types" options as well as "Full
  3361     Types" Proof General menu item. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3362 
  3363 * Metis:
  3364   - Removed "metisF" -- use "metis" instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3365   - Obsoleted "metisFT" -- use "metis (full_types)" instead.
  3366     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3367 
  3368 * Command 'try':
  3369   - Renamed 'try_methods' and added "simp:", "intro:", "dest:", and
  3370     "elim:" options. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3371   - Introduced 'try' that not only runs 'try_methods' but also
  3372     'solve_direct', 'sledgehammer', 'quickcheck', and 'nitpick'.
  3373 
  3374 * Quickcheck:
  3375   - Added "eval" option to evaluate terms for the found counterexample
  3376     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  3377   - Added post-processing of terms to obtain readable counterexamples
  3378     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  3379   - New counterexample generator quickcheck[narrowing] enables
  3380     narrowing-based testing.  Requires the Glasgow Haskell compiler
  3381     with its installation location defined in the Isabelle settings
  3382     environment as ISABELLE_GHC.
  3383   - Removed quickcheck tester "SML" based on the SML code generator
  3384     (formly in HOL/Library).
  3385 
  3386 * Function package: discontinued option "tailrec".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  3387 use 'partial_function' instead.
  3388 
  3389 * Theory Library/Extended_Reals replaces now the positive extended
  3390 reals found in probability theory. This file is extended by
  3391 Multivariate_Analysis/Extended_Real_Limits.
  3392 
  3393 * Theory Library/Old_Recdef: old 'recdef' package has been moved here,
  3394 from where it must be imported explicitly if it is really required.
  3395 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3396 
  3397 * Theory Library/Wfrec: well-founded recursion combinator "wfrec" has
  3398 been moved here.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3399 
  3400 * Theory Library/Saturated provides type of numbers with saturated
  3401 arithmetic.
  3402 
  3403 * Theory Library/Product_Lattice defines a pointwise ordering for the
  3404 product type 'a * 'b, and provides instance proofs for various order
  3405 and lattice type classes.
  3406 
  3407 * Theory Library/Countable now provides the "countable_datatype" proof
  3408 method for proving "countable" class instances for datatypes.
  3409 
  3410 * Theory Library/Cset_Monad allows do notation for computable sets
  3411 (cset) via the generic monad ad-hoc overloading facility.
  3412 
  3413 * Library: Theories of common data structures are split into theories
  3414 for implementation, an invariant-ensuring type, and connection to an
  3415 abstract type. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3416 
  3417   - RBT is split into RBT and RBT_Mapping.
  3418   - AssocList is split and renamed into AList and AList_Mapping.
  3419   - DList is split into DList_Impl, DList, and DList_Cset.
  3420   - Cset is split into Cset and List_Cset.
  3421 
  3422 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity has been renamed to
  3423 Library/Extended_Nat, with name changes of the following types and
  3424 constants:
  3425 
  3426   type inat   ~> type enat
  3427   Fin         ~> enat
  3428   Infty       ~> infinity (overloaded)
  3429   iSuc        ~> eSuc
  3430   the_Fin     ~> the_enat
  3431 
  3432 Every theorem name containing "inat", "Fin", "Infty", or "iSuc" has
  3433 been renamed accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3434 
  3435 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: The euclidean_space type class now
  3436 fixes a constant "Basis :: 'a set" consisting of the standard
  3437 orthonormal basis for the type. Users now have the option of
  3438 quantifying over this set instead of using the "basis" function, e.g.
  3439 "ALL x:Basis. P x" vs "ALL i<DIM('a). P (basis i)".
  3440 
  3441 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Type "('a, 'b) cart" has been renamed
  3442 to "('a, 'b) vec" (the syntax "'a ^ 'b" remains unaffected). Constants
  3443 "Cart_nth" and "Cart_lambda" have been respectively renamed to
  3444 "vec_nth" and "vec_lambda"; theorems mentioning those names have
  3445 changed to match. Definition theorems for overloaded constants now use
  3446 the standard "foo_vec_def" naming scheme. A few other theorems have
  3447 been renamed as follows (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  3448 
  3449   Cart_eq          ~> vec_eq_iff
  3450   dist_nth_le_cart ~> dist_vec_nth_le
  3451   tendsto_vector   ~> vec_tendstoI
  3452   Cauchy_vector    ~> vec_CauchyI
  3453 
  3454 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Several duplicate theorems have been
  3455 removed, and other theorems have been renamed or replaced with more
  3456 general versions. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3509 
  3510 * Session HOL-Probability:
  3511   - Caratheodory's extension lemma is now proved for ring_of_sets.
  3512   - Infinite products of probability measures are now available.
  3513   - Sigma closure is independent, if the generator is independent
  3514   - Use extended reals instead of positive extended
  3515     reals. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3546 *** Document preparation ***
  3547 
  3548 * Antiquotation @{rail} layouts railroad syntax diagrams, see also
  3549 isar-ref manual, both for description and actual application of the
  3550 same.
  3551 
  3552 * Antiquotation @{value} evaluates the given term and presents its
  3553 result.
  3554 
  3555 * Antiquotations: term style "isub" provides ad-hoc conversion of
  3556 variables x1, y23 into subscripted form x\<^isub>1,
  3557 y\<^isub>2\<^isub>3.
  3558 
  3559 * Predefined LaTeX macros for Isabelle symbols \<bind> and \<then>
  3560 (e.g. see ~~/src/HOL/Library/Monad_Syntax.thy).
  3561 
  3562 * Localized \isabellestyle switch can be used within blocks or groups
  3563 like this:
  3564 
  3565   \isabellestyle{it}  %preferred default
  3566   {\isabellestylett @{text "typewriter stuff"}}
  3567 
  3568 * Discontinued special treatment of hard tabulators.  Implicit
  3569 tab-width is now defined as 1.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for visual
  3570 layouts.
  3571 
  3572 
  3573 *** ML ***
  3574 
  3575 * The inner syntax of sort/type/term/prop supports inlined YXML
  3576 representations within quoted string tokens.  By encoding logical
  3577 entities via Term_XML (in ML or Scala) concrete syntax can be
  3578 bypassed, which is particularly useful for producing bits of text
  3579 under external program control.
  3580 
  3581 * Antiquotations for ML and document preparation are managed as theory
  3582 data, which requires explicit setup.
  3583 
  3584 * Isabelle_Process.is_active allows tools to check if the official
  3585 process wrapper is running (Isabelle/Scala/jEdit) or the old TTY loop
  3586 (better known as Proof General).
  3587 
  3588 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  3589 ProofContext is still available for some time as legacy alias.
  3590 
  3591 * Structure Timing provides various operations for timing; supersedes
  3592 former start_timing/end_timing etc.
  3593 
  3594 * Path.print is the official way to show file-system paths to users
  3595 (including quotes etc.).
  3596 
  3597 * Inner syntax: identifiers in parse trees of generic categories
  3598 "logic", "aprop", "idt" etc. carry position information (disguised as
  3599 type constraints).  Occasional INCOMPATIBILITY with non-compliant
  3600 translations that choke on unexpected type constraints.  Positions can
  3601 be stripped in ML translations via Syntax.strip_positions /
  3602 Syntax.strip_positions_ast, or via the syntax constant
  3603 "_strip_positions" within parse trees.  As last resort, positions can
  3604 be disabled via the configuration option Syntax.positions, which is
  3605 called "syntax_positions" in Isar attribute syntax.
  3606 
  3607 * Discontinued special status of various ML structures that contribute
  3608 to structure Syntax (Ast, Lexicon, Mixfix, Parser, Printer etc.): less
  3609 pervasive content, no inclusion in structure Syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  3610 refer directly to Ast.Constant, Lexicon.is_identifier,
  3611 Syntax_Trans.mk_binder_tr etc.
  3612 
  3613 * Typed print translation: discontinued show_sorts argument, which is
  3614 already available via context of "advanced" translation.
  3615 
  3616 * Refined PARALLEL_GOALS tactical: degrades gracefully for schematic
  3617 goal states; body tactic needs to address all subgoals uniformly.
  3618 
  3619 * Slightly more special eq_list/eq_set, with shortcut involving
  3620 pointer equality (assumes that eq relation is reflexive).
  3621 
  3622 * Classical tactics use proper Proof.context instead of historic types
  3623 claset/clasimpset.  Old-style declarations like addIs, addEs, addDs
  3624 operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type claset retains its use as
  3625 snapshot of the classical context, which can be recovered via
  3626 (put_claset HOL_cs) etc.  Type clasimpset has been discontinued.
  3627 INCOMPATIBILITY, classical tactics and derived proof methods require
  3628 proper Proof.context.
  3629 
  3630 
  3631 *** System ***
  3632 
  3633 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2, which was the last version
  3634 without proper multithreading and TimeLimit implementation.
  3635 
  3636 * Discontinued old lib/scripts/polyml-platform, which has been
  3637 obsolete since Isabelle2009-2.
  3638 
  3639 * Various optional external tools are referenced more robustly and
  3640 uniformly by explicit Isabelle settings as follows:
  3641 
  3642   ISABELLE_CSDP   (formerly CSDP_EXE)
  3643   ISABELLE_GHC    (formerly EXEC_GHC or GHC_PATH)
  3644   ISABELLE_OCAML  (formerly EXEC_OCAML)
  3645   ISABELLE_SWIPL  (formerly EXEC_SWIPL)
  3646   ISABELLE_YAP    (formerly EXEC_YAP)
  3647 
  3648 Note that automated detection from the file-system or search path has
  3649 been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3650 
  3651 * Scala layer provides JVM method invocation service for static
  3652 methods of type (String)String, see Invoke_Scala.method in ML.  For
  3653 example:
  3654 
  3655   Invoke_Scala.method "java.lang.System.getProperty" "java.home"
  3656 
  3657 Together with YXML.string_of_body/parse_body and XML.Encode/Decode
  3658 this allows to pass structured values between ML and Scala.
  3659 
  3660 * The IsabelleText fonts includes some further glyphs to support the
  3661 Prover IDE.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: users who happen to have
  3662 installed a local copy (which is normally *not* required) need to
  3663 delete or update it from ~~/lib/fonts/.
  3664 
  3665 
  3666 
  3667 New in Isabelle2011 (January 2011)
  3668 ----------------------------------
  3669 
  3670 *** General ***
  3671 
  3672 * Experimental Prover IDE based on Isabelle/Scala and jEdit (see
  3673 src/Tools/jEdit).  This also serves as IDE for Isabelle/ML, with
  3674 useful tooltips and hyperlinks produced from its static analysis.  The
  3675 bundled component provides an executable Isabelle tool that can be run
  3676 like this:
  3677 
  3678   Isabelle2011/bin/isabelle jedit
  3679 
  3680 * Significantly improved Isabelle/Isar implementation manual.
  3681 
  3682 * System settings: ISABELLE_HOME_USER now includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER
  3683 (and thus refers to something like $HOME/.isabelle/Isabelle2011),
  3684 while the default heap location within that directory lacks that extra
  3685 suffix.  This isolates multiple Isabelle installations from each
  3686 other, avoiding problems with old settings in new versions.
  3687 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to copy/upgrade old user settings manually.
  3688 
  3689 * Source files are always encoded as UTF-8, instead of old-fashioned
  3690 ISO-Latin-1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Isabelle LaTeX documents might require
  3691 the following package declarations:
  3692 
  3693   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
  3694   \usepackage{textcomp}
  3695 
  3696 * Explicit treatment of UTF-8 sequences as Isabelle symbols, such that
  3697 a Unicode character is treated as a single symbol, not a sequence of
  3698 non-ASCII bytes as before.  Since Isabelle/ML string literals may
  3699 contain symbols without further backslash escapes, Unicode can now be
  3700 used here as well.  Recall that Symbol.explode in ML provides a
  3701 consistent view on symbols, while raw explode (or String.explode)
  3702 merely give a byte-oriented representation.
  3703 
  3704 * Theory loader: source files are primarily located via the master
  3705 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  3706 The global load path is still partially available as legacy feature.
  3707 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY due to subtle change in file lookup: use
  3708 explicit paths, relatively to the theory.
  3709 
  3710 * Special treatment of ML file names has been discontinued.
  3711 Historically, optional extensions .ML or .sml were added on demand --
  3712 at the cost of clarity of file dependencies.  Recall that Isabelle/ML
  3713 files exclusively use the .ML extension.  Minor INCOMPATIBILTY.
  3714 
  3715 * Various options that affect pretty printing etc. are now properly
  3716 handled within the context via configuration options, instead of
  3717 unsynchronized references or print modes.  There are both ML Config.T

  3744 
  3745 Note that corresponding "..._default" references in ML may only be
  3746 changed globally at the ROOT session setup, but *not* within a theory.
  3747 The option "show_abbrevs" supersedes the former print mode
  3748 "no_abbrevs" with inverted meaning.
  3749 
  3750 * More systematic naming of some configuration options.
  3751 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3752 
  3753   trace_simp  ~>  simp_trace
  3754   debug_simp  ~>  simp_debug
  3755 
  3756 * Support for real valued configuration options, using simplistic
  3757 floating-point notation that coincides with the inner syntax for
  3758 float_token.
  3759 
  3760 * Support for real valued preferences (with approximative PGIP type):
  3761 front-ends need to accept "pgint" values in float notation.
  3762 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3763 
  3764 * The IsabelleText font now includes Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic from
  3765 DejaVu Sans.
  3766 
  3767 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.0 and 5.1 versions.
  3768 
  3769 
  3770 *** Pure ***
  3771 
  3772 * Command 'type_synonym' (with single argument) replaces somewhat
  3773 outdated 'types', which is still available as legacy feature for some
  3774 time.
  3775 
  3776 * Command 'nonterminal' (with 'and' separated list of arguments)
  3777 replaces somewhat outdated 'nonterminals'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3778 
  3779 * Command 'notepad' replaces former 'example_proof' for
  3780 experimentation in Isar without any result.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3781 
  3782 * Locale interpretation commands 'interpret' and 'sublocale' accept
  3783 lists of equations to map definitions in a locale to appropriate
  3784 entities in the context of the interpretation.  The 'interpretation'
  3785 command already provided this functionality.
  3786 
  3787 * Diagnostic command 'print_dependencies' prints the locale instances
  3788 that would be activated if the specified expression was interpreted in
  3789 the current context.  Variant "print_dependencies!" assumes a context
  3790 without interpretations.
  3791 
  3792 * Diagnostic command 'print_interps' prints interpretations in proofs
  3793 in addition to interpretations in theories.
  3794 
  3795 * Discontinued obsolete 'global' and 'local' commands to manipulate
  3796 the theory name space.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.  The ML functions
  3797 Sign.root_path and Sign.local_path may be applied directly where this
  3798 feature is still required for historical reasons.
  3799 
  3800 * Discontinued obsolete 'constdefs' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  3801 'definition' instead.
  3802 
  3803 * The "prems" fact, which refers to the accidental collection of
  3804 foundational premises in the context, is now explicitly marked as
  3805 legacy feature and will be discontinued soon.  Consider using "assms"
  3806 of the head statement or reference facts by explicit names.
  3807 
  3808 * Document antiquotations @{class} and @{type} print classes and type
  3809 constructors.
  3810 
  3811 * Document antiquotation @{file} checks file/directory entries within
  3812 the local file system.
  3813 
  3814 
  3815 *** HOL ***
  3816 
  3817 * Coercive subtyping: functions can be declared as coercions and type
  3818 inference will add them as necessary upon input of a term.  Theory
  3819 Complex_Main declares real :: nat => real and real :: int => real as
  3820 coercions. A coercion function f is declared like this:
  3821 
  3822   declare [[coercion f]]
  3823 
  3824 To lift coercions through type constructors (e.g. from nat => real to
  3825 nat list => real list), map functions can be declared, e.g.
  3826 
  3827   declare [[coercion_map map]]
  3828 
  3829 Currently coercion inference is activated only in theories including
  3830 real numbers, i.e. descendants of Complex_Main.  This is controlled by
  3831 the configuration option "coercion_enabled", e.g. it can be enabled in
  3832 other theories like this:
  3833 
  3834   declare [[coercion_enabled]]
  3835 
  3836 * Command 'partial_function' provides basic support for recursive
  3837 function definitions over complete partial orders.  Concrete instances
  3838 are provided for i) the option type, ii) tail recursion on arbitrary
  3839 types, and iii) the heap monad of Imperative_HOL.  See
  3840 src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy and src/HOL/Imperative_HOL/ex/Linked_Lists.thy
  3841 for examples.
  3842 
  3843 * Function package: f.psimps rules are no longer implicitly declared
  3844 as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3845 
  3846 * Datatype package: theorems generated for executable equality (class
  3847 "eq") carry proper names and are treated as default code equations.
  3848 
  3849 * Inductive package: now offers command 'inductive_simps' to
  3850 automatically derive instantiated and simplified equations for
  3851 inductive predicates, similar to 'inductive_cases'.
  3852 
  3853 * Command 'enriched_type' allows to register properties of the
  3854 functorial structure of types.
  3855 
  3856 * Improved infrastructure for term evaluation using code generator
  3857 techniques, in particular static evaluation conversions.
  3858 
  3859 * Code generator: Scala (2.8 or higher) has been added to the target
  3860 languages.
  3861 
  3862 * Code generator: globbing constant expressions "*" and "Theory.*"
  3863 have been replaced by the more idiomatic "_" and "Theory._".
  3864 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3865 
  3866 * Code generator: export_code without explicit file declaration prints
  3867 to standard output.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3868 
  3869 * Code generator: do not print function definitions for case
  3870 combinators any longer.
  3871 
  3872 * Code generator: simplification with rules determined with
  3873 src/Tools/Code/code_simp.ML and method "code_simp".
  3874 
  3875 * Code generator for records: more idiomatic representation of record
  3876 types.  Warning: records are not covered by ancient SML code
  3877 generation any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  In cases of need, a suitable
  3878 rep_datatype declaration helps to succeed then:
  3879 
  3880   record 'a foo = ...
  3881   ...
  3882   rep_datatype foo_ext ...
  3883 
  3884 * Records: logical foundation type for records does not carry a
  3885 '_type' suffix any longer (obsolete due to authentic syntax).
  3886 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3887 
  3888 * Quickcheck now by default uses exhaustive testing instead of random
  3889 testing.  Random testing can be invoked by "quickcheck [random]",
  3890 exhaustive testing by "quickcheck [exhaustive]".
  3891 
  3892 * Quickcheck instantiates polymorphic types with small finite
  3893 datatypes by default. This enables a simple execution mechanism to
  3894 handle quantifiers and function equality over the finite datatypes.
  3895 
  3896 * Quickcheck random generator has been renamed from "code" to
  3897 "random".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3898 
  3899 * Quickcheck now has a configurable time limit which is set to 30
  3900 seconds by default. This can be changed by adding [timeout = n] to the
  3901 quickcheck command. The time limit for Auto Quickcheck is still set
  3902 independently.
  3903 
  3904 * Quickcheck in locales considers interpretations of that locale for
  3905 counter example search.
  3906 
  3907 * Sledgehammer:
  3908   - Added "smt" and "remote_smt" provers based on the "smt" proof
  3909     method. See the Sledgehammer manual for details ("isabelle doc
  3910     sledgehammer").
  3911   - Renamed commands:
  3912     sledgehammer atp_info ~> sledgehammer running_provers
  3913     sledgehammer atp_kill ~> sledgehammer kill_provers
  3914     sledgehammer available_atps ~> sledgehammer available_provers
  3915     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3916   - Renamed options:
  3917     sledgehammer [atps = ...] ~> sledgehammer [provers = ...]
  3918     sledgehammer [atp = ...] ~> sledgehammer [prover = ...]
  3919     sledgehammer [timeout = 77 s] ~> sledgehammer [timeout = 77]
  3920     (and "ms" and "min" are no longer supported)
  3921     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3922 
  3923 * Nitpick:
  3924   - Renamed options:
  3925     nitpick [timeout = 77 s] ~> nitpick [timeout = 77]
  3926     nitpick [tac_timeout = 777 ms] ~> nitpick [tac_timeout = 0.777]
  3927     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3928   - Added support for partial quotient types.
  3929   - Added local versions of the "Nitpick.register_xxx" functions.
  3930   - Added "whack" option.
  3931   - Allow registration of quotient types as codatatypes.
  3932   - Improved "merge_type_vars" option to merge more types.
  3933   - Removed unsound "fast_descrs" option.
  3934   - Added custom symmetry breaking for datatypes, making it possible to reach
  3935     higher cardinalities.
  3936   - Prevent the expansion of too large definitions.
  3937 
  3938 * Proof methods "metis" and "meson" now have configuration options
  3939 "meson_trace", "metis_trace", and "metis_verbose" that can be enabled
  3940 to diagnose these tools. E.g.
  3941 
  3942     using [[metis_trace = true]]
  3943 
  3944 * Auto Solve: Renamed "Auto Solve Direct".  The tool is now available
  3945 manually as command 'solve_direct'.
  3946 
  3947 * The default SMT solver Z3 must be enabled explicitly (due to
  3948 licensing issues) by setting the environment variable
  3949 Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL in etc/settings of the component, for example.  For
  3950 commercial applications, the SMT solver CVC3 is provided as fall-back;
  3951 changing the SMT solver is done via the configuration option
  3952 "smt_solver".
  3953 
  3954 * Remote SMT solvers need to be referred to by the "remote_" prefix,
  3955 i.e. "remote_cvc3" and "remote_z3".
  3956 
  3957 * Added basic SMT support for datatypes, records, and typedefs using
  3958 the oracle mode (no proofs).  Direct support of pairs has been dropped
  3959 in exchange (pass theorems fst_conv snd_conv pair_collapse to the SMT
  3960 support for a similar behavior).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3961 
  3962 * Changed SMT configuration options:
  3963   - Renamed:
  3964     z3_proofs ~> smt_oracle (with inverted meaning)
  3965     z3_trace_assms ~> smt_trace_used_facts
  3966     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3967   - Added:
  3968     smt_verbose
  3969     smt_random_seed
  3970     smt_datatypes
  3971     smt_infer_triggers
  3972     smt_monomorph_limit
  3973     cvc3_options
  3974     remote_cvc3_options
  3975     remote_z3_options
  3976     yices_options
  3977 
  3978 * Boogie output files (.b2i files) need to be declared in the theory
  3979 header.
  3980 
  3981 * Simplification procedure "list_to_set_comprehension" rewrites list
  3982 comprehensions applied to List.set to set comprehensions.  Occasional
  3983 INCOMPATIBILITY, may be deactivated like this:
  3984 
  3985   declare [[simproc del: list_to_set_comprehension]]
  3986 
  3987 * Removed old version of primrec package.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3988 
  3989 * Removed simplifier congruence rule of "prod_case", as has for long
  3990 been the case with "split".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3991 
  3992 * String.literal is a type, but not a datatype.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3993 
  3994 * Removed [split_format ... and ... and ...] version of
  3995 [split_format].  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3996 
  3997 * Predicate "sorted" now defined inductively, with nice induction
  3998 rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY: former sorted.simps now named sorted_simps.
  3999 
  4000 * Constant "contents" renamed to "the_elem", to free the generic name
  4001 contents for other uses.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4002 
  4003 * Renamed class eq and constant eq (for code generation) to class
  4004 equal and constant equal, plus renaming of related facts and various
  4005 tuning.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4006 
  4007 * Dropped type classes mult_mono and mult_mono1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4008 
  4009 * Removed output syntax "'a ~=> 'b" for "'a => 'b option".
  4010 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4011 
  4012 * Renamed theory Fset to Cset, type Fset.fset to Cset.set, in order to
  4013 avoid confusion with finite sets.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4014 
  4015 * Abandoned locales equiv, congruent and congruent2 for equivalence
  4016 relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use equivI rather than equiv_intro (same
  4017 for congruent(2)).
  4018 
  4019 * Some previously unqualified names have been qualified:
  4020 
  4021   types
  4022     bool ~> HOL.bool
  4023     nat ~> Nat.nat
  4024 
  4025   constants

  4027     True ~> HOL.True
  4028     False ~> HOL.False
  4029     op & ~> HOL.conj
  4030     op | ~> HOL.disj
  4031     op --> ~> HOL.implies
  4032     op = ~> HOL.eq

  4040     Ball ~> Set.Ball
  4041     Bex ~> Set.Bex
  4042     Suc ~> Nat.Suc
  4043     Pair ~> Product_Type.Pair
  4044     fst ~> Product_Type.fst
  4045     snd ~> Product_Type.snd
  4046     curry ~> Product_Type.curry
  4047     op : ~> Set.member
  4048     Collect ~> Set.Collect
  4049 
  4050 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4051 
  4052 * More canonical naming convention for some fundamental definitions:
  4053 
  4054     bot_bool_eq ~> bot_bool_def
  4055     top_bool_eq ~> top_bool_def
  4056     inf_bool_eq ~> inf_bool_def
  4057     sup_bool_eq ~> sup_bool_def
  4058     bot_fun_eq  ~> bot_fun_def
  4059     top_fun_eq  ~> top_fun_def
  4060     inf_fun_eq  ~> inf_fun_def
  4061     sup_fun_eq  ~> sup_fun_def
  4062 
  4063 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4064 
  4065 * More stylized fact names:
  4066 
  4067   expand_fun_eq ~> fun_eq_iff
  4068   expand_set_eq ~> set_eq_iff
  4069   set_ext       ~> set_eqI
  4070   nat_number    ~> eval_nat_numeral
  4071 
  4072 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4073 
  4074 * Refactoring of code-generation specific operations in theory List:
  4075 
  4076   constants
  4077     null ~> List.null
  4078 
  4079   facts
  4080     mem_iff ~> member_def
  4081     null_empty ~> null_def
  4082 
  4083 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that these were not supposed to be used
  4084 regularly unless for striking reasons; their main purpose was code
  4085 generation.
  4086 
  4087 Various operations from the Haskell prelude are used for generating
  4088 Haskell code.
  4089 
  4090 * Term "bij f" is now an abbreviation of "bij_betw f UNIV UNIV".  Term
  4091 "surj f" is now an abbreviation of "range f = UNIV".  The theorems
  4092 bij_def and surj_def are unchanged.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4093 
  4094 * Abolished some non-alphabetic type names: "prod" and "sum" replace
  4095 "*" and "+" respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4096 
  4097 * Name "Plus" of disjoint sum operator "<+>" is now hidden.  Write
  4098 "Sum_Type.Plus" instead.
  4099 
  4100 * Constant "split" has been merged with constant "prod_case"; names of
  4101 ML functions, facts etc. involving split have been retained so far,
  4102 though.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4103 
  4104 * Dropped old infix syntax "_ mem _" for List.member; use "_ : set _"
  4105 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4106 
  4107 * Removed lemma "Option.is_none_none" which duplicates "is_none_def".
  4108 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4109 
  4110 * Former theory Library/Enum is now part of the HOL-Main image.
  4111 INCOMPATIBILITY: all constants of the Enum theory now have to be
  4112 referred to by its qualified name.
  4113 
  4114   enum    ~>  Enum.enum
  4115   nlists  ~>  Enum.nlists
  4116   product ~>  Enum.product
  4117 
  4118 * Theory Library/Monad_Syntax provides do-syntax for monad types.
  4119 Syntax in Library/State_Monad has been changed to avoid ambiguities.
  4120 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4121 
  4122 * Theory Library/SetsAndFunctions has been split into
  4123 Library/Function_Algebras and Library/Set_Algebras; canonical names
  4124 for instance definitions for functions; various improvements.
  4125 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4126 
  4127 * Theory Library/Multiset provides stable quicksort implementation of
  4128 sort_key.
  4129 
  4130 * Theory Library/Multiset: renamed empty_idemp ~> empty_neutral.
  4131 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4132 
  4133 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: introduced a type class for euclidean
  4134 space.  Most theorems are now stated in terms of euclidean spaces
  4135 instead of finite cartesian products.
  4136 
  4137   types
  4138     real ^ 'n ~>  'a::real_vector
  4139               ~>  'a::euclidean_space
  4140               ~>  'a::ordered_euclidean_space
  4141         (depends on your needs)
  4142 
  4143   constants
  4144      _ $ _        ~> _ $$ _
  4145      \<chi> x. _  ~> \<chi>\<chi> x. _
  4146      CARD('n)     ~> DIM('a)
  4147 
  4148 Also note that the indices are now natural numbers and not from some
  4149 finite type. Finite cartesian products of euclidean spaces, products
  4150 of euclidean spaces the real and complex numbers are instantiated to
  4151 be euclidean_spaces.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4152 
  4153 * Session Probability: introduced pextreal as positive extended real
  4154 numbers.  Use pextreal as value for measures.  Introduce the
  4155 Radon-Nikodym derivative, product spaces and Fubini's theorem for
  4156 arbitrary sigma finite measures.  Introduces Lebesgue measure based on
  4157 the integral in Multivariate Analysis.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4158 
  4159 * Session Imperative_HOL: revamped, corrected dozens of inadequacies.
  4160 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4161 
  4162 * Session SPARK (with image HOL-SPARK) provides commands to load and
  4163 prove verification conditions generated by the SPARK Ada program
  4164 verifier.  See also src/HOL/SPARK and src/HOL/SPARK/Examples.
  4165 
  4166 
  4167 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  4168 
  4169 * Theorems for additive ring operations (locale abelian_monoid and
  4170 descendants) are generated by interpretation from their multiplicative
  4171 counterparts.  Names (in particular theorem names) have the mandatory
  4172 qualifier 'add'.  Previous theorem names are redeclared for
  4173 compatibility.
  4174 
  4175 * Structure "int_ring" is now an abbreviation (previously a
  4176 definition).  This fits more natural with advanced interpretations.
  4177

  4179 *** HOLCF ***
  4180 
  4181 * The domain package now runs in definitional mode by default: The
  4182 former command 'new_domain' is now called 'domain'.  To use the domain
  4183 package in its original axiomatic mode, use 'domain (unsafe)'.
  4184 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4185 
  4186 * The new class "domain" is now the default sort.  Class "predomain"
  4187 is an unpointed version of "domain". Theories can be updated by
  4188 replacing sort annotations as shown below.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4189 
  4190   'a::type ~> 'a::countable
  4191   'a::cpo  ~> 'a::predomain
  4192   'a::pcpo ~> 'a::domain
  4193 
  4194 * The old type class "rep" has been superseded by class "domain".
  4195 Accordingly, users of the definitional package must remove any
  4196 "default_sort rep" declarations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4197 
  4198 * The domain package (definitional mode) now supports unpointed
  4199 predomain argument types, as long as they are marked 'lazy'. (Strict
  4200 arguments must be in class "domain".) For example, the following
  4201 domain definition now works:
  4202 
  4203   domain natlist = nil | cons (lazy "nat discr") (lazy "natlist")
  4204 
  4205 * Theory HOLCF/Library/HOL_Cpo provides cpo and predomain class
  4206 instances for types from main HOL: bool, nat, int, char, 'a + 'b,
  4207 'a option, and 'a list.  Additionally, it configures fixrec and the
  4208 domain package to work with these types.  For example:
  4209 
  4210   fixrec isInl :: "('a + 'b) u -> tr"
  4211     where "isInl$(up$(Inl x)) = TT" | "isInl$(up$(Inr y)) = FF"
  4212 
  4213   domain V = VFun (lazy "V -> V") | VCon (lazy "nat") (lazy "V list")
  4214 
  4215 * The "(permissive)" option of fixrec has been replaced with a
  4216 per-equation "(unchecked)" option. See
  4217 src/HOL/HOLCF/Tutorial/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4218 
  4219 * The "bifinite" class no longer fixes a constant "approx"; the class
  4220 now just asserts that such a function exists.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4221 
  4222 * Former type "alg_defl" has been renamed to "defl".  HOLCF no longer
  4223 defines an embedding of type 'a defl into udom by default; instances
  4224 of "bifinite" and "domain" classes are available in
  4225 src/HOL/HOLCF/Library/Defl_Bifinite.thy.
  4226 
  4227 * The syntax "REP('a)" has been replaced with "DEFL('a)".
  4228 
  4229 * The predicate "directed" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4230 
  4231 * The type class "finite_po" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4232 
  4233 * The function "cprod_map" has been renamed to "prod_map".
  4234 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4235 
  4236 * The monadic bind operator on each powerdomain has new binder syntax
  4237 similar to sets, e.g. "\<Union>\<sharp>x\<in>xs. t" represents
  4238 "upper_bind\<cdot>xs\<cdot>(\<Lambda> x. t)".
  4239 
  4240 * The infix syntax for binary union on each powerdomain has changed
  4241 from e.g. "+\<sharp>" to "\<union>\<sharp>", for consistency with set
  4242 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4243 
  4244 * The constant "UU" has been renamed to "bottom".  The syntax "UU" is
  4245 still supported as an input translation.
  4246 
  4247 * Renamed some theorems (the original names are also still available).
  4248 
  4249   expand_fun_below   ~> fun_below_iff
  4250   below_fun_ext      ~> fun_belowI
  4251   expand_cfun_eq     ~> cfun_eq_iff
  4252   ext_cfun           ~> cfun_eqI
  4253   expand_cfun_below  ~> cfun_below_iff
  4254   below_cfun_ext     ~> cfun_belowI
  4255   cont2cont_Rep_CFun ~> cont2cont_APP
  4256 
  4257 * The Abs and Rep functions for various types have changed names.
  4258 Related theorem names have also changed to match. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4259 
  4260   Rep_CFun  ~> Rep_cfun
  4261   Abs_CFun  ~> Abs_cfun
  4262   Rep_Sprod ~> Rep_sprod
  4263   Abs_Sprod ~> Abs_sprod
  4264   Rep_Ssum  ~> Rep_ssum
  4265   Abs_Ssum  ~> Abs_ssum
  4266 
  4267 * Lemmas with names of the form *_defined_iff or *_strict_iff have
  4268 been renamed to *_bottom_iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4269 
  4270 * Various changes to bisimulation/coinduction with domain package:
  4271 
  4272   - Definitions of "bisim" constants no longer mention definedness.
  4273   - With mutual recursion, "bisim" predicate is now curried.
  4274   - With mutual recursion, each type gets a separate coind theorem.
  4275   - Variable names in bisim_def and coinduct rules have changed.
  4276 
  4277 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4278 
  4279 * Case combinators generated by the domain package for type "foo" are
  4280 now named "foo_case" instead of "foo_when".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4281 
  4282 * Several theorems have been renamed to more accurately reflect the
  4283 names of constants and types involved.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4353 
  4354 
  4355 *** FOL and ZF ***
  4356 
  4357 * All constant names are now qualified internally and use proper
  4358 identifiers, e.g. "IFOL.eq" instead of "op =".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4359 
  4360 
  4361 *** ML ***
  4362 
  4363 * Antiquotation @{assert} inlines a function bool -> unit that raises
  4364 Fail if the argument is false.  Due to inlining the source position of
  4365 failed assertions is included in the error output.
  4366 
  4367 * Discontinued antiquotation @{theory_ref}, which is obsolete since ML
  4368 text is in practice always evaluated with a stable theory checkpoint.
  4369 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use (Theory.check_thy @{theory}) instead.
  4370 
  4371 * Antiquotation @{theory A} refers to theory A from the ancestry of
  4372 the current context, not any accidental theory loader state as before.
  4373 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, subtle change in semantics.
  4374 
  4375 * Syntax.pretty_priority (default 0) configures the required priority
  4376 of pretty-printed output and thus affects insertion of parentheses.
  4377 
  4378 * Syntax.default_root (default "any") configures the inner syntax
  4379 category (nonterminal symbol) for parsing of terms.
  4380 
  4381 * Former exception Library.UnequalLengths now coincides with
  4382 ListPair.UnequalLengths.
  4383 
  4384 * Renamed structure MetaSimplifier to Raw_Simplifier.  Note that the
  4385 main functionality is provided by structure Simplifier.
  4386 
  4387 * Renamed raw "explode" function to "raw_explode" to emphasize its
  4388 meaning.  Note that internally to Isabelle, Symbol.explode is used in
  4389 almost all situations.
  4390 
  4391 * Discontinued obsolete function sys_error and exception SYS_ERROR.
  4392 See implementation manual for further details on exceptions in
  4393 Isabelle/ML.
  4394 
  4395 * Renamed setmp_noncritical to Unsynchronized.setmp to emphasize its
  4396 meaning.
  4397 
  4398 * Renamed structure PureThy to Pure_Thy and moved most of its
  4399 operations to structure Global_Theory, to emphasize that this is
  4400 rarely-used global-only stuff.
  4401 
  4402 * Discontinued Output.debug.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use plain writeln
  4403 instead (or tracing for high-volume output).
  4404 
  4405 * Configuration option show_question_marks only affects regular pretty
  4406 printing of types and terms, not raw Term.string_of_vname.
  4407 
  4408 * ML_Context.thm and ML_Context.thms are no longer pervasive.  Rare
  4409 INCOMPATIBILITY, superseded by static antiquotations @{thm} and
  4410 @{thms} for most purposes.
  4411 
  4412 * ML structure Unsynchronized is never opened, not even in Isar
  4413 interaction mode as before.  Old Unsynchronized.set etc. have been
  4414 discontinued -- use plain := instead.  This should be *rare* anyway,
  4415 since modern tools always work via official context data, notably
  4416 configuration options.
  4417 
  4418 * Parallel and asynchronous execution requires special care concerning
  4419 interrupts.  Structure Exn provides some convenience functions that
  4420 avoid working directly with raw Interrupt.  User code must not absorb
  4421 interrupts -- intermediate handling (for cleanup etc.) needs to be
  4422 followed by re-raising of the original exception.  Another common
  4423 source of mistakes are "handle _" patterns, which make the meaning of
  4424 the program subject to physical effects of the environment.
  4425

  4427 
  4428 New in Isabelle2009-2 (June 2010)
  4429 ---------------------------------
  4430 
  4431 *** General ***
  4432 
  4433 * Authentic syntax for *all* logical entities (type classes, type
  4434 constructors, term constants): provides simple and robust
  4435 correspondence between formal entities and concrete syntax.  Within
  4436 the parse tree / AST representations, "constants" are decorated by
  4437 their category (class, type, const) and spelled out explicitly with
  4438 their full internal name.
  4439 
  4440 Substantial INCOMPATIBILITY concerning low-level syntax declarations
  4441 and translations (translation rules and translation functions in ML).
  4442 Some hints on upgrading:
  4443 
  4444   - Many existing uses of 'syntax' and 'translations' can be replaced
  4445     by more modern 'type_notation', 'notation' and 'abbreviation',
  4446     which are independent of this issue.
  4447 
  4448   - 'translations' require markup within the AST; the term syntax
  4449     provides the following special forms:
  4450 
  4451       CONST c   -- produces syntax version of constant c from context
  4452       XCONST c  -- literally c, checked as constant from context
  4453       c         -- literally c, if declared by 'syntax'
  4454 
  4455     Plain identifiers are treated as AST variables -- occasionally the
  4456     system indicates accidental variables via the error "rhs contains
  4457     extra variables".
  4458 
  4459     Type classes and type constructors are marked according to their
  4460     concrete syntax.  Some old translations rules need to be written
  4461     for the "type" category, using type constructor application
  4462     instead of pseudo-term application of the default category
  4463     "logic".
  4464 
  4465   - 'parse_translation' etc. in ML may use the following
  4466     antiquotations:
  4467 
  4468       @{class_syntax c}   -- type class c within parse tree / AST
  4469       @{term_syntax c}    -- type constructor c within parse tree / AST
  4470       @{const_syntax c}   -- ML version of "CONST c" above
  4471       @{syntax_const c}   -- literally c (checked wrt. 'syntax' declarations)
  4472 
  4473   - Literal types within 'typed_print_translations', i.e. those *not*
  4474     represented as pseudo-terms are represented verbatim.  Use @{class
  4475     c} or @{type_name c} here instead of the above syntax
  4476     antiquotations.
  4477 
  4478 Note that old non-authentic syntax was based on unqualified base
  4479 names, so all of the above "constant" names would coincide.  Recall
  4480 that 'print_syntax' and ML_command "set Syntax.trace_ast" help to
  4481 diagnose syntax problems.
  4482 
  4483 * Type constructors admit general mixfix syntax, not just infix.
  4484 
  4485 * Concrete syntax may be attached to local entities without a proof
  4486 body, too.  This works via regular mixfix annotations for 'fix',
  4487 'def', 'obtain' etc. or via the explicit 'write' command, which is
  4488 similar to the 'notation' command in theory specifications.
  4489 
  4490 * Discontinued unnamed infix syntax (legacy feature for many years) --
  4491 need to specify constant name and syntax separately.  Internal ML
  4492 datatype constructors have been renamed from InfixName to Infix etc.
  4493 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4494 
  4495 * Schematic theorem statements need to be explicitly markup as such,
  4496 via commands 'schematic_lemma', 'schematic_theorem',
  4497 'schematic_corollary'.  Thus the relevance of the proof is made
  4498 syntactically clear, which impacts performance in a parallel or
  4499 asynchronous interactive environment.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4500 
  4501 * Use of cumulative prems via "!" in some proof methods has been
  4502 discontinued (old legacy feature).
  4503 
  4504 * References 'trace_simp' and 'debug_simp' have been replaced by
  4505 configuration options stored in the context. Enabling tracing (the
  4506 case of debugging is similar) in proofs works via
  4507 
  4508   using [[trace_simp = true]]
  4509 
  4510 Tracing is then active for all invocations of the simplifier in
  4511 subsequent goal refinement steps. Tracing may also still be enabled or
  4512 disabled via the ProofGeneral settings menu.
  4513 
  4514 * Separate commands 'hide_class', 'hide_type', 'hide_const',
  4515 'hide_fact' replace the former 'hide' KIND command.  Minor
  4516 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4517 
  4518 * Improved parallelism of proof term normalization: usedir -p2 -q0 is
  4519 more efficient than combinations with -q1 or -q2.
  4520 
  4521 
  4522 *** Pure ***
  4523 
  4524 * Proofterms record type-class reasoning explicitly, using the
  4525 "unconstrain" operation internally.  This eliminates all sort
  4526 constraints from a theorem and proof, introducing explicit
  4527 OFCLASS-premises.  On the proof term level, this operation is
  4528 automatically applied at theorem boundaries, such that closed proofs
  4529 are always free of sort constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools that
  4530 inspect proof terms.
  4531 
  4532 * Local theory specifications may depend on extra type variables that
  4533 are not present in the result type -- arguments TYPE('a) :: 'a itself
  4534 are added internally.  For example:
  4535 
  4536   definition unitary :: bool where "unitary = (ALL (x::'a) y. x = y)"
  4537 
  4538 * Predicates of locales introduced by classes carry a mandatory
  4539 "class" prefix.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4540 
  4541 * Vacuous class specifications observe default sort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4542 
  4543 * Old 'axclass' command has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  4544 'class' instead.
  4545 
  4546 * Command 'code_reflect' allows to incorporate generated ML code into
  4547 runtime environment; replaces immature code_datatype antiquotation.
  4548 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4549 
  4550 * Code generator: simple concept for abstract datatypes obeying
  4551 invariants.
  4552 
  4553 * Code generator: details of internal data cache have no impact on the
  4554 user space functionality any longer.
  4555 
  4556 * Methods "unfold_locales" and "intro_locales" ignore non-locale
  4557 subgoals.  This is more appropriate for interpretations with 'where'.
  4558 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4559 
  4560 * Command 'example_proof' opens an empty proof body.  This allows to
  4561 experiment with Isar, without producing any persistent result.
  4562 
  4563 * Commands 'type_notation' and 'no_type_notation' declare type syntax
  4564 within a local theory context, with explicit checking of the
  4565 constructors involved (in contrast to the raw 'syntax' versions).
  4566 
  4567 * Commands 'types' and 'typedecl' now work within a local theory
  4568 context -- without introducing dependencies on parameters or
  4569 assumptions, which is not possible in Isabelle/Pure.
  4570 
  4571 * Command 'defaultsort' has been renamed to 'default_sort', it works
  4572 within a local theory context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4573 
  4574 
  4575 *** HOL ***
  4576 
  4577 * Command 'typedef' now works within a local theory context -- without
  4578 introducing dependencies on parameters or assumptions, which is not
  4579 possible in Isabelle/Pure/HOL.  Note that the logical environment may
  4580 contain multiple interpretations of local typedefs (with different
  4581 non-emptiness proofs), even in a global theory context.
  4582 
  4583 * New package for quotient types.  Commands 'quotient_type' and
  4584 'quotient_definition' may be used for defining types and constants by
  4585 quotient constructions.  An example is the type of integers created by
  4586 quotienting pairs of natural numbers:
  4587 
  4588   fun
  4589     intrel :: "(nat * nat) => (nat * nat) => bool"
  4590   where
  4591     "intrel (x, y) (u, v) = (x + v = u + y)"
  4592 
  4593   quotient_type int = "nat * nat" / intrel
  4594     by (auto simp add: equivp_def expand_fun_eq)
  4595 
  4596   quotient_definition
  4597     "0::int" is "(0::nat, 0::nat)"
  4598 
  4599 The method "lifting" can be used to lift of theorems from the
  4600 underlying "raw" type to the quotient type.  The example
  4601 src/HOL/Quotient_Examples/FSet.thy includes such a quotient
  4602 construction and provides a reasoning infrastructure for finite sets.
  4603 
  4604 * Renamed Library/Quotient.thy to Library/Quotient_Type.thy to avoid
  4605 clash with new theory Quotient in Main HOL.
  4606 
  4607 * Moved the SMT binding into the main HOL session, eliminating
  4608 separate HOL-SMT session.
  4609 
  4610 * List membership infix mem operation is only an input abbreviation.
  4611 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4612 
  4613 * Theory Library/Word.thy has been removed.  Use library Word/Word.thy
  4614 for future developements; former Library/Word.thy is still present in
  4615 the AFP entry RSAPPS.
  4616 
  4617 * Theorem Int.int_induct renamed to Int.int_of_nat_induct and is no
  4618 longer shadowed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4619 
  4620 * Dropped theorem duplicate comp_arith; use semiring_norm instead.
  4621 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4622 
  4623 * Dropped theorem RealPow.real_sq_order; use power2_le_imp_le instead.
  4624 INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4626 * Dropped normalizing_semiring etc; use the facts in semiring classes
  4627 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4628 
  4629 * Dropped several real-specific versions of lemmas about floor and
  4630 ceiling; use the generic lemmas from theory "Archimedean_Field"
  4631 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4664 * Theory "Finite_Set": various folding_XXX locales facilitate the
  4665 application of the various fold combinators on finite sets.
  4666 
  4667 * Library theory "RBT" renamed to "RBT_Impl"; new library theory "RBT"
  4668 provides abstract red-black tree type which is backed by "RBT_Impl" as
  4669 implementation.  INCOMPATIBILTY.
  4670 
  4671 * Theory Library/Coinductive_List has been removed -- superseded by
  4672 AFP/thys/Coinductive.
  4673 
  4674 * Theory PReal, including the type "preal" and related operations, has
  4675 been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4676 
  4677 * Real: new development using Cauchy Sequences.
  4678 
  4679 * Split off theory "Big_Operators" containing setsum, setprod,
  4680 Inf_fin, Sup_fin, Min, Max from theory Finite_Set.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4681 
  4682 * Theory "Rational" renamed to "Rat", for consistency with "Nat",
  4683 "Int" etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4684 
  4685 * Constant Rat.normalize needs to be qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4686 
  4687 * New set of rules "ac_simps" provides combined assoc / commute
  4688 rewrites for all interpretations of the appropriate generic locales.
  4689 
  4690 * Renamed theory "OrderedGroup" to "Groups" and split theory
  4691 "Ring_and_Field" into theories "Rings" and "Fields"; for more
  4692 appropriate and more consistent names suitable for name prefixes
  4693 within the HOL theories.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4694 
  4695 * Some generic constants have been put to appropriate theories:
  4696   - less_eq, less: Orderings
  4697   - zero, one, plus, minus, uminus, times, abs, sgn: Groups
  4698   - inverse, divide: Rings
  4699 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4700 
  4701 * More consistent naming of type classes involving orderings (and
  4702 lattices):
  4703 
  4704     lower_semilattice                   ~> semilattice_inf

  4740     ordered_semiring_strict             ~> linordered_semiring_strict
  4741 
  4742   The following slightly odd type classes have been moved to a
  4743   separate theory Library/Lattice_Algebras:
  4744 
  4745     lordered_ab_group_add               ~> lattice_ab_group_add
  4746     lordered_ab_group_add_abs           ~> lattice_ab_group_add_abs
  4747     lordered_ab_group_add_meet          ~> semilattice_inf_ab_group_add
  4748     lordered_ab_group_add_join          ~> semilattice_sup_ab_group_add
  4749     lordered_ring                       ~> lattice_ring
  4750 
  4751 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4752 
  4753 * Refined field classes:
  4754   - classes division_ring_inverse_zero, field_inverse_zero,
  4755     linordered_field_inverse_zero include rule inverse 0 = 0 --
  4756     subsumes former division_by_zero class;
  4757   - numerous lemmas have been ported from field to division_ring.
  4758 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4759 
  4760 * Refined algebra theorem collections:
  4761   - dropped theorem group group_simps, use algebra_simps instead;
  4762   - dropped theorem group ring_simps, use field_simps instead;
  4763   - proper theorem collection field_simps subsumes former theorem
  4764     groups field_eq_simps and field_simps;
  4765   - dropped lemma eq_minus_self_iff which is a duplicate for
  4766     equal_neg_zero.
  4767 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4768 
  4769 * Theory Finite_Set and List: some lemmas have been generalized from
  4770 sets to lattices:
  4771 
  4772   fun_left_comm_idem_inter      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_inf
  4773   fun_left_comm_idem_union      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_sup
  4774   inter_Inter_fold_inter        ~> inf_Inf_fold_inf
  4775   union_Union_fold_union        ~> sup_Sup_fold_sup

  4780   INTER_fold_inter              ~> INFI_fold_inf
  4781   UNION_fold_union              ~> SUPR_fold_sup
  4782 
  4783 * Theory "Complete_Lattice": lemmas top_def and bot_def have been
  4784 replaced by the more convenient lemmas Inf_empty and Sup_empty.
  4785 Dropped lemmas Inf_insert_simp and Sup_insert_simp, which are subsumed
  4786 by Inf_insert and Sup_insert.  Lemmas Inf_UNIV and Sup_UNIV replace
  4787 former Inf_Univ and Sup_Univ.  Lemmas inf_top_right and sup_bot_right
  4788 subsume inf_top and sup_bot respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4789 
  4790 * Reorganized theory Multiset: swapped notation of pointwise and
  4791 multiset order:
  4792 
  4793   - pointwise ordering is instance of class order with standard syntax
  4794     <= and <;
  4795   - multiset ordering has syntax <=# and <#; partial order properties
  4796     are provided by means of interpretation with prefix
  4797     multiset_order;
  4798   - less duplication, less historical organization of sections,
  4799     conversion from associations lists to multisets, rudimentary code
  4800     generation;
  4801   - use insert_DiffM2 [symmetric] instead of elem_imp_eq_diff_union,
  4802     if needed.
  4803 
  4804 Renamed:
  4805 
  4806   multiset_eq_conv_count_eq  ~>  multiset_ext_iff
  4807   multi_count_ext  ~>  multiset_ext
  4808   diff_union_inverse2  ~>  diff_union_cancelR
  4809 
  4810 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4811 
  4812 * Theory Permutation: replaced local "remove" by List.remove1.
  4813 
  4814 * Code generation: ML and OCaml code is decorated with signatures.
  4815 
  4816 * Theory List: added transpose.
  4817 
  4818 * Library/Nat_Bijection.thy is a collection of bijective functions
  4819 between nat and other types, which supersedes the older libraries
  4820 Library/Nat_Int_Bij.thy and HOLCF/NatIso.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4851 
  4852 * Sledgehammer:
  4853   - Renamed ATP commands:
  4854     atp_info     ~> sledgehammer running_atps
  4855     atp_kill     ~> sledgehammer kill_atps
  4856     atp_messages ~> sledgehammer messages
  4857     atp_minimize ~> sledgehammer minimize
  4858     print_atps   ~> sledgehammer available_atps
  4859     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4860   - Added user's manual ("isabelle doc sledgehammer").
  4861   - Added option syntax and "sledgehammer_params" to customize
  4862     Sledgehammer's behavior.  See the manual for details.
  4863   - Modified the Isar proof reconstruction code so that it produces
  4864     direct proofs rather than proofs by contradiction.  (This feature
  4865     is still experimental.)
  4866   - Made Isar proof reconstruction work for SPASS, remote ATPs, and in
  4867     full-typed mode.
  4868   - Added support for TPTP syntax for SPASS via the "spass_tptp" ATP.
  4869 
  4870 * Nitpick:
  4871   - Added and implemented "binary_ints" and "bits" options.
  4872   - Added "std" option and implemented support for nonstandard models.
  4873   - Added and implemented "finitize" option to improve the precision
  4874     of infinite datatypes based on a monotonicity analysis.
  4875   - Added support for quotient types.
  4876   - Added support for "specification" and "ax_specification"
  4877     constructs.
  4878   - Added support for local definitions (for "function" and
  4879     "termination" proofs).
  4880   - Added support for term postprocessors.
  4881   - Optimized "Multiset.multiset" and "FinFun.finfun".
  4882   - Improved efficiency of "destroy_constrs" optimization.
  4883   - Fixed soundness bugs related to "destroy_constrs" optimization and
  4884     record getters.
  4885   - Fixed soundness bug related to higher-order constructors.
  4886   - Fixed soundness bug when "full_descrs" is enabled.
  4887   - Improved precision of set constructs.
  4888   - Added "atoms" option.
  4889   - Added cache to speed up repeated Kodkod invocations on the same
  4890     problems.
  4891   - Renamed "MiniSatJNI", "zChaffJNI", "BerkMinAlloy", and
  4892     "SAT4JLight" to "MiniSat_JNI", "zChaff_JNI", "BerkMin_Alloy", and
  4893     "SAT4J_Light".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4894   - Removed "skolemize", "uncurry", "sym_break", "flatten_prop",
  4895     "sharing_depth", and "show_skolems" options.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4896   - Removed "nitpick_intro" attribute.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4897 
  4898 * Method "induct" now takes instantiations of the form t, where t is not
  4899   a variable, as a shorthand for "x == t", where x is a fresh variable.
  4900   If this is not intended, t has to be enclosed in parentheses.
  4901   By default, the equalities generated by definitional instantiations
  4902   are pre-simplified, which may cause parameters of inductive cases
  4903   to disappear, or may even delete some of the inductive cases.
  4904   Use "induct (no_simp)" instead of "induct" to restore the old
  4905   behaviour. The (no_simp) option is also understood by the "cases"
  4906   and "nominal_induct" methods, which now perform pre-simplification, too.
  4907   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4908 
  4909 
  4910 *** HOLCF ***
  4911 
  4912 * Variable names in lemmas generated by the domain package have
  4913 changed; the naming scheme is now consistent with the HOL datatype
  4914 package.  Some proof scripts may be affected, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4915 
  4916 * The domain package no longer defines the function "foo_copy" for
  4917 recursive domain "foo".  The reach lemma is now stated directly in
  4918 terms of "foo_take".  Lemmas and proofs that mention "foo_copy" must
  4919 be reformulated in terms of "foo_take", INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4920 
  4921 * Most definedness lemmas generated by the domain package (previously
  4922 of the form "x ~= UU ==> foo$x ~= UU") now have an if-and-only-if form
  4923 like "foo$x = UU <-> x = UU", which works better as a simp rule.
  4924 Proofs that used definedness lemmas as intro rules may break,
  4925 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4926 
  4927 * Induction and casedist rules generated by the domain package now
  4928 declare proper case_names (one called "bottom", and one named for each
  4929 constructor).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4930 
  4931 * For mutually-recursive domains, separate "reach" and "take_lemma"
  4932 rules are generated for each domain, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4933

  4937 * Some lemmas generated by the domain package have been renamed for
  4938 consistency with the datatype package, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4939 
  4940   foo.ind        ~> foo.induct
  4941   foo.finite_ind ~> foo.finite_induct
  4942   foo.coind      ~> foo.coinduct
  4943   foo.casedist   ~> foo.exhaust
  4944   foo.exhaust    ~> foo.nchotomy
  4945 
  4946 * For consistency with other definition packages, the fixrec package
  4947 now generates qualified theorem names, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4948 
  4949   foo_simps  ~> foo.simps
  4950   foo_unfold ~> foo.unfold
  4951   foo_induct ~> foo.induct
  4952 
  4953 * The "fixrec_simp" attribute has been removed.  The "fixrec_simp"
  4954 method and internal fixrec proofs now use the default simpset instead.
  4955 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4956 
  4957 * The "contlub" predicate has been removed.  Proof scripts should use
  4958 lemma contI2 in place of monocontlub2cont, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4959 
  4960 * The "admw" predicate has been removed, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4961 
  4962 * The constants cpair, cfst, and csnd have been removed in favor of
  4963 Pair, fst, and snd from Isabelle/HOL, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4964 
  4965 
  4966 *** ML ***
  4967 
  4968 * Antiquotations for basic formal entities:
  4969 
  4970     @{class NAME}         -- type class
  4971     @{class_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of the above
  4972 
  4973     @{type_name NAME}     -- logical type
  4974     @{type_abbrev NAME}   -- type abbreviation
  4975     @{nonterminal NAME}   -- type of concrete syntactic category
  4976     @{type_syntax NAME}   -- syntax representation of any of the above
  4977 
  4978     @{const_name NAME}    -- logical constant (INCOMPATIBILITY)
  4979     @{const_abbrev NAME}  -- abbreviated constant
  4980     @{const_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of any of the above
  4981 
  4982 * Antiquotation @{syntax_const NAME} ensures that NAME refers to a raw
  4983 syntax constant (cf. 'syntax' command).
  4984 
  4985 * Antiquotation @{make_string} inlines a function to print arbitrary
  4986 values similar to the ML toplevel.  The result is compiler dependent
  4987 and may fall back on "?" in certain situations.
  4988 
  4989 * Diagnostic commands 'ML_val' and 'ML_command' may refer to
  4990 antiquotations @{Isar.state} and @{Isar.goal}.  This replaces impure
  4991 Isar.state() and Isar.goal(), which belong to the old TTY loop and do
  4992 not work with the asynchronous Isar document model.
  4993 
  4994 * Configuration options now admit dynamic default values, depending on
  4995 the context or even global references.
  4996 
  4997 * SHA1.digest digests strings according to SHA-1 (see RFC 3174).  It
  4998 uses an efficient external library if available (for Poly/ML).
  4999 
  5000 * Renamed some important ML structures, while keeping the old names
  5001 for some time as aliases within the structure Legacy:
  5002 
  5003   OuterKeyword  ~>  Keyword
  5004   OuterLex      ~>  Token
  5005   OuterParse    ~>  Parse
  5006   OuterSyntax   ~>  Outer_Syntax
  5007   PrintMode     ~>  Print_Mode
  5008   SpecParse     ~>  Parse_Spec
  5009   ThyInfo       ~>  Thy_Info
  5010   ThyLoad       ~>  Thy_Load
  5011   ThyOutput     ~>  Thy_Output
  5012   TypeInfer     ~>  Type_Infer
  5013 
  5014 Note that "open Legacy" simplifies porting of sources, but forgetting
  5015 to remove it again will complicate porting again in the future.
  5016 
  5017 * Most operations that refer to a global context are named
  5018 accordingly, e.g. Simplifier.global_context or
  5019 ProofContext.init_global.  There are some situations where a global
  5020 context actually works, but under normal circumstances one needs to
  5021 pass the proper local context through the code!
  5022 
  5023 * Discontinued old TheoryDataFun with its copy/init operation -- data
  5024 needs to be pure.  Functor Theory_Data_PP retains the traditional
  5025 Pretty.pp argument to merge, which is absent in the standard
  5026 Theory_Data version.
  5027 
  5028 * Sorts.certify_sort and derived "cert" operations for types and terms
  5029 no longer minimize sorts.  Thus certification at the boundary of the
  5030 inference kernel becomes invariant under addition of class relations,
  5031 which is an important monotonicity principle.  Sorts are now minimized
  5032 in the syntax layer only, at the boundary between the end-user and the
  5033 system.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY, may have to use Sign.minimize_sort
  5034 explicitly in rare situations.
  5035 
  5036 * Renamed old-style Drule.standard to Drule.export_without_context, to
  5037 emphasize that this is in no way a standard operation.
  5038 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5039 
  5040 * Subgoal.FOCUS (and variants): resulting goal state is normalized as
  5041 usual for resolution.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5042 
  5043 * Renamed varify/unvarify operations to varify_global/unvarify_global
  5044 to emphasize that these only work in a global situation (which is
  5045 quite rare).
  5046 
  5047 * Curried take and drop in library.ML; negative length is interpreted
  5048 as infinity (as in chop).  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5049 
  5050 * Proof terms: type substitutions on proof constants now use canonical
  5051 order of type variables.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools working with proof
  5052 terms.
  5053 
  5054 * Raw axioms/defs may no longer carry sort constraints, and raw defs
  5055 may no longer carry premises.  User-level specifications are
  5056 transformed accordingly by Thm.add_axiom/add_def.
  5057 
  5058 
  5059 *** System ***
  5060 
  5061 * Discontinued special HOL_USEDIR_OPTIONS for the main HOL image;
  5062 ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS applies uniformly to all sessions.  Note that
  5063 proof terms are enabled unconditionally in the new HOL-Proofs image.
  5064 
  5065 * Discontinued old ISABELLE and ISATOOL environment settings (legacy
  5066 feature since Isabelle2009).  Use ISABELLE_PROCESS and ISABELLE_TOOL,
  5067 respectively.
  5068 
  5069 * Old lib/scripts/polyml-platform is superseded by the
  5070 ISABELLE_PLATFORM setting variable, which defaults to the 32 bit
  5071 variant, even on a 64 bit machine.  The following example setting
  5072 prefers 64 bit if available:
  5073 
  5074   ML_PLATFORM="${ISABELLE_PLATFORM64:-$ISABELLE_PLATFORM}"
  5075 
  5076 * The preliminary Isabelle/jEdit application demonstrates the emerging
  5077 Isabelle/Scala layer for advanced prover interaction and integration.
  5078 See src/Tools/jEdit or "isabelle jedit" provided by the properly built
  5079 component.
  5080 
  5081 * "IsabelleText" is a Unicode font derived from Bitstream Vera Mono
  5082 and Bluesky TeX fonts.  It provides the usual Isabelle symbols,
  5083 similar to the default assignment of the document preparation system
  5084 (cf. isabellesym.sty).  The Isabelle/Scala class Isabelle_System
  5085 provides some operations for direct access to the font without asking
  5086 the user for manual installation.
  5087 
  5088 
  5089 
  5090 New in Isabelle2009-1 (December 2009)
  5091 -------------------------------------
  5092 
  5093 *** General ***
  5094 
  5095 * Discontinued old form of "escaped symbols" such as \\<forall>.  Only
  5096 one backslash should be used, even in ML sources.
  5097 
  5098 
  5099 *** Pure ***
  5100 
  5101 * Locale interpretation propagates mixins along the locale hierarchy.
  5102 The currently only available mixins are the equations used to map
  5103 local definitions to terms of the target domain of an interpretation.
  5104 
  5105 * Reactivated diagnostic command 'print_interps'.  Use "print_interps
  5106 loc" to print all interpretations of locale "loc" in the theory.
  5107 Interpretations in proofs are not shown.
  5108 
  5109 * Thoroughly revised locales tutorial.  New section on conditional
  5110 interpretation.
  5111 
  5112 * On instantiation of classes, remaining undefined class parameters
  5113 are formally declared.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5114 
  5115 
  5116 *** Document preparation ***
  5117 
  5118 * New generalized style concept for printing terms: @{foo (style) ...}
  5119 instead of @{foo_style style ...}  (old form is still retained for
  5120 backward compatibility).  Styles can be also applied for
  5121 antiquotations prop, term_type and typeof.
  5122 
  5123 
  5124 *** HOL ***
  5125 
  5126 * New proof method "smt" for a combination of first-order logic with
  5127 equality, linear and nonlinear (natural/integer/real) arithmetic, and
  5128 fixed-size bitvectors; there is also basic support for higher-order
  5129 features (esp. lambda abstractions).  It is an incomplete decision
  5130 procedure based on external SMT solvers using the oracle mechanism;
  5131 for the SMT solver Z3, this method is proof-producing.  Certificates
  5132 are provided to avoid calling the external solvers solely for
  5133 re-checking proofs.  Due to a remote SMT service there is no need for
  5134 installing SMT solvers locally.  See src/HOL/SMT.
  5135 
  5136 * New commands to load and prove verification conditions generated by
  5137 the Boogie program verifier or derived systems (e.g. the Verifying C
  5138 Compiler (VCC) or Spec#).  See src/HOL/Boogie.
  5139 
  5140 * New counterexample generator tool 'nitpick' based on the Kodkod
  5141 relational model finder.  See src/HOL/Tools/Nitpick and
  5142 src/HOL/Nitpick_Examples.
  5143 
  5144 * New commands 'code_pred' and 'values' to invoke the predicate
  5145 compiler and to enumerate values of inductive predicates.
  5146 
  5147 * A tabled implementation of the reflexive transitive closure.
  5148 
  5149 * New implementation of quickcheck uses generic code generator;
  5150 default generators are provided for all suitable HOL types, records
  5151 and datatypes.  Old quickcheck can be re-activated importing theory
  5152 Library/SML_Quickcheck.
  5153 
  5154 * New testing tool Mirabelle for automated proof tools.  Applies
  5155 several tools and tactics like sledgehammer, metis, or quickcheck, to
  5156 every proof step in a theory.  To be used in batch mode via the
  5157 "mirabelle" utility.
  5158 
  5159 * New proof method "sos" (sum of squares) for nonlinear real
  5160 arithmetic (originally due to John Harison). It requires theory
  5161 Library/Sum_Of_Squares.  It is not a complete decision procedure but
  5162 works well in practice on quantifier-free real arithmetic with +, -,
  5163 *, ^, =, <= and <, i.e. boolean combinations of equalities and
  5164 inequalities between polynomials.  It makes use of external
  5165 semidefinite programming solvers.  Method "sos" generates a
  5166 certificate that can be pasted into the proof thus avoiding the need
  5167 to call an external tool every time the proof is checked.  See
  5168 src/HOL/Library/Sum_Of_Squares.
  5169 
  5170 * New method "linarith" invokes existing linear arithmetic decision
  5171 procedure only.
  5172 
  5173 * New command 'atp_minimal' reduces result produced by Sledgehammer.
  5174 
  5175 * New Sledgehammer option "Full Types" in Proof General settings menu.
  5176 Causes full type information to be output to the ATPs.  This slows
  5177 ATPs down considerably but eliminates a source of unsound "proofs"
  5178 that fail later.
  5179 
  5180 * New method "metisFT": A version of metis that uses full type
  5181 information in order to avoid failures of proof reconstruction.
  5182 
  5183 * New evaluator "approximate" approximates an real valued term using
  5184 the same method as the approximation method.
  5185 
  5186 * Method "approximate" now supports arithmetic expressions as
  5187 boundaries of intervals and implements interval splitting and Taylor
  5188 series expansion.
  5189 
  5190 * ML antiquotation @{code_datatype} inserts definition of a datatype
  5191 generated by the code generator; e.g. see src/HOL/Predicate.thy.
  5192 
  5193 * New theory SupInf of the supremum and infimum operators for sets of
  5194 reals.
  5195 
  5196 * New theory Probability, which contains a development of measure
  5197 theory, eventually leading to Lebesgue integration and probability.
  5198 
  5199 * Extended Multivariate Analysis to include derivation and Brouwer's
  5200 fixpoint theorem.
  5201 
  5202 * Reorganization of number theory, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5203   - new number theory development for nat and int, in theories Divides
  5204     and GCD as well as in new session Number_Theory
  5205   - some constants and facts now suffixed with _nat and _int
  5206     accordingly
  5207   - former session NumberTheory now named Old_Number_Theory, including
  5208     theories Legacy_GCD and Primes (prefer Number_Theory if possible)
  5209   - moved theory Pocklington from src/HOL/Library to
  5210     src/HOL/Old_Number_Theory
  5211 
  5212 * Theory GCD includes functions Gcd/GCD and Lcm/LCM for the gcd and
  5213 lcm of finite and infinite sets. It is shown that they form a complete
  5214 lattice.
  5215 
  5216 * Class semiring_div requires superclass no_zero_divisors and proof of
  5217 div_mult_mult1; theorems div_mult_mult1, div_mult_mult2,
  5218 div_mult_mult1_if, div_mult_mult1 and div_mult_mult2 have been
  5219 generalized to class semiring_div, subsuming former theorems
  5220 zdiv_zmult_zmult1, zdiv_zmult_zmult1_if, zdiv_zmult_zmult1 and
  5221 zdiv_zmult_zmult2.  div_mult_mult1 is now [simp] by default.
  5222 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5223 
  5224 * Refinements to lattice classes and sets:
  5225   - less default intro/elim rules in locale variant, more default
  5226     intro/elim rules in class variant: more uniformity
  5227   - lemma ge_sup_conv renamed to le_sup_iff, in accordance with
  5228     le_inf_iff
  5229   - dropped lemma alias inf_ACI for inf_aci (same for sup_ACI and
  5230     sup_aci)
  5231   - renamed ACI to inf_sup_aci
  5232   - new class "boolean_algebra"
  5233   - class "complete_lattice" moved to separate theory
  5234     "Complete_Lattice"; corresponding constants (and abbreviations)
  5235     renamed and with authentic syntax:
  5236     Set.Inf ~>    Complete_Lattice.Inf
  5237     Set.Sup ~>    Complete_Lattice.Sup
  5238     Set.INFI ~>   Complete_Lattice.INFI
  5239     Set.SUPR ~>   Complete_Lattice.SUPR
  5240     Set.Inter ~>  Complete_Lattice.Inter
  5241     Set.Union ~>  Complete_Lattice.Union
  5242     Set.INTER ~>  Complete_Lattice.INTER
  5243     Set.UNION ~>  Complete_Lattice.UNION
  5244   - authentic syntax for
  5245     Set.Pow
  5246     Set.image
  5247   - mere abbreviations:
  5248     Set.empty               (for bot)
  5249     Set.UNIV                (for top)
  5250     Set.inter               (for inf, formerly Set.Int)
  5251     Set.union               (for sup, formerly Set.Un)
  5252     Complete_Lattice.Inter  (for Inf)
  5253     Complete_Lattice.Union  (for Sup)
  5254     Complete_Lattice.INTER  (for INFI)
  5255     Complete_Lattice.UNION  (for SUPR)
  5256   - object-logic definitions as far as appropriate
  5257 
  5258 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Care is required when theorems Int_subset_iff or
  5259 Un_subset_iff are explicitly deleted as default simp rules; then also
  5260 their lattice counterparts le_inf_iff and le_sup_iff have to be
  5261 deleted to achieve the desired effect.
  5262 
  5263 * Rules inf_absorb1, inf_absorb2, sup_absorb1, sup_absorb2 are no simp
  5264 rules by default any longer; the same applies to min_max.inf_absorb1
  5265 etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5266 
  5267 * Rules sup_Int_eq and sup_Un_eq are no longer declared as
  5268 pred_set_conv by default.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5269 
  5270 * Power operations on relations and functions are now one dedicated
  5271 constant "compow" with infix syntax "^^".  Power operation on
  5272 multiplicative monoids retains syntax "^" and is now defined generic
  5273 in class power.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5274 
  5275 * Relation composition "R O S" now has a more standard argument order:
  5276 "R O S = {(x, z). EX y. (x, y) : R & (y, z) : S}".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  5277 rewrite propositions with "S O R" --> "R O S". Proofs may occasionally
  5278 break, since the O_assoc rule was not rewritten like this.  Fix using
  5279 O_assoc[symmetric].  The same applies to the curried version "R OO S".
  5280 
  5281 * Function "Inv" is renamed to "inv_into" and function "inv" is now an
  5282 abbreviation for "inv_into UNIV".  Lemmas are renamed accordingly.
  5283 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5284 
  5285 * Most rules produced by inductive and datatype package have mandatory
  5286 prefixes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5287 
  5288 * Changed "DERIV_intros" to a dynamic fact, which can be augmented by
  5289 the attribute of the same name.  Each of the theorems in the list
  5290 DERIV_intros assumes composition with an additional function and
  5291 matches a variable to the derivative, which has to be solved by the
  5292 Simplifier.  Hence (auto intro!: DERIV_intros) computes the derivative
  5293 of most elementary terms.  Former Maclauren.DERIV_tac and
  5294 Maclauren.deriv_tac should be replaced by (auto intro!: DERIV_intros).
  5295 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5296 
  5297 * Code generator attributes follow the usual underscore convention:
  5298     code_unfold     replaces    code unfold
  5299     code_post       replaces    code post
  5300     etc.
  5301   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5302 
  5303 * Renamed methods:
  5304     sizechange -> size_change
  5305     induct_scheme -> induction_schema
  5306   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5307 
  5308 * Discontinued abbreviation "arbitrary" of constant "undefined".
  5309 INCOMPATIBILITY, use "undefined" directly.
  5310 
  5311 * Renamed theorems:
  5312     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  5313     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1_left -> Suc_eq_plus1_left
  5314     Suc_plus1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  5315     *anti_sym -> *antisym*
  5316     vector_less_eq_def -> vector_le_def
  5317   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5318 
  5319 * Added theorem List.map_map as [simp].  Removed List.map_compose.
  5320 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5321 
  5322 * Removed predicate "M hassize n" (<--> card M = n & finite M).
  5323 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5324 
  5325 
  5326 *** HOLCF ***
  5327 
  5328 * Theory Representable defines a class "rep" of domains that are
  5329 representable (via an ep-pair) in the universal domain type "udom".
  5330 Instances are provided for all type constructors defined in HOLCF.
  5331 
  5332 * The 'new_domain' command is a purely definitional version of the
  5333 domain package, for representable domains.  Syntax is identical to the
  5334 old domain package.  The 'new_domain' package also supports indirect
  5335 recursion using previously-defined type constructors.  See
  5336 src/HOLCF/ex/New_Domain.thy for examples.
  5337 
  5338 * Method "fixrec_simp" unfolds one step of a fixrec-defined constant
  5339 on the left-hand side of an equation, and then performs
  5340 simplification.  Rewriting is done using rules declared with the
  5341 "fixrec_simp" attribute.  The "fixrec_simp" method is intended as a
  5342 replacement for "fixpat"; see src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples.
  5343 
  5344 * The pattern-match compiler in 'fixrec' can now handle constructors
  5345 with HOL function types.  Pattern-match combinators for the Pair
  5346 constructor are pre-configured.
  5347 
  5348 * The 'fixrec' package now produces better fixed-point induction rules
  5349 for mutually-recursive definitions:  Induction rules have conclusions
  5350 of the form "P foo bar" instead of "P <foo, bar>".
  5351 
  5352 * The constant "sq_le" (with infix syntax "<<" or "\<sqsubseteq>") has
  5353 been renamed to "below".  The name "below" now replaces "less" in many
  5354 theorem names.  (Legacy theorem names using "less" are still supported
  5355 as well.)
  5356 
  5357 * The 'fixrec' package now supports "bottom patterns".  Bottom
  5358 patterns can be used to generate strictness rules, or to make
  5359 functions more strict (much like the bang-patterns supported by the
  5360 Glasgow Haskell Compiler).  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  5361 examples.
  5362 
  5363 
  5364 *** ML ***
  5365 
  5366 * Support for Poly/ML 5.3.0, with improved reporting of compiler
  5367 errors and run-time exceptions, including detailed source positions.
  5368 
  5369 * Structure Name_Space (formerly NameSpace) now manages uniquely
  5370 identified entries, with some additional information such as source
  5371 position, logical grouping etc.
  5372 
  5373 * Theory and context data is now introduced by the simplified and
  5374 modernized functors Theory_Data, Proof_Data, Generic_Data.  Data needs
  5375 to be pure, but the old TheoryDataFun for mutable data (with explicit
  5376 copy operation) is still available for some time.
  5377 
  5378 * Structure Synchronized (cf. src/Pure/Concurrent/synchronized.ML)
  5379 provides a high-level programming interface to synchronized state
  5380 variables with atomic update.  This works via pure function
  5381 application within a critical section -- its runtime should be as
  5382 short as possible; beware of deadlocks if critical code is nested,
  5383 either directly or indirectly via other synchronized variables!
  5384 
  5385 * Structure Unsynchronized (cf. src/Pure/ML-Systems/unsynchronized.ML)
  5386 wraps raw ML references, explicitly indicating their non-thread-safe
  5387 behaviour.  The Isar toplevel keeps this structure open, to
  5388 accommodate Proof General as well as quick and dirty interactive
  5389 experiments with references.
  5390 
  5391 * PARALLEL_CHOICE and PARALLEL_GOALS provide basic support for
  5392 parallel tactical reasoning.
  5393 
  5394 * Tacticals Subgoal.FOCUS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PREMS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PARAMS
  5395 are similar to SUBPROOF, but are slightly more flexible: only the
  5396 specified parts of the subgoal are imported into the context, and the
  5397 body tactic may introduce new subgoals and schematic variables.
  5398 
  5399 * Old tactical METAHYPS, which does not observe the proof context, has
  5400 been renamed to Old_Goals.METAHYPS and awaits deletion.  Use SUBPROOF
  5401 or Subgoal.FOCUS etc.
  5402 
  5403 * Renamed functor TableFun to Table, and GraphFun to Graph.  (Since
  5404 functors have their own ML name space there is no point to mark them
  5405 separately.)  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5406 
  5407 * Renamed NamedThmsFun to Named_Thms.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5408 
  5409 * Renamed several structures FooBar to Foo_Bar.  Occasional,
  5410 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5411 
  5412 * Operations of structure Skip_Proof no longer require quick_and_dirty
  5413 mode, which avoids critical setmp.
  5414 
  5415 * Eliminated old Attrib.add_attributes, Method.add_methods and related
  5416 combinators for "args".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use simplified
  5417 Attrib/Method.setup introduced in Isabelle2009.
  5418 
  5419 * Proper context for simpset_of, claset_of, clasimpset_of.  May fall
  5420 back on global_simpset_of, global_claset_of, global_clasimpset_of as
  5421 last resort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5422 
  5423 * Display.pretty_thm now requires a proper context (cf. former
  5424 ProofContext.pretty_thm).  May fall back on Display.pretty_thm_global
  5425 or even Display.pretty_thm_without_context as last resort.
  5426 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5427 
  5428 * Discontinued Display.pretty_ctyp/cterm etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5429 Syntax.pretty_typ/term directly, preferably with proper context
  5430 instead of global theory.
  5431 
  5432 
  5433 *** System ***
  5434 
  5435 * Further fine tuning of parallel proof checking, scales up to 8 cores
  5436 (max. speedup factor 5.0).  See also Goal.parallel_proofs in ML and
  5437 usedir option -q.
  5438 
  5439 * Support for additional "Isabelle components" via etc/components, see
  5440 also the system manual.
  5441 
  5442 * The isabelle makeall tool now operates on all components with
  5443 IsaMakefile, not just hardwired "logics".
  5444 
  5445 * Removed "compress" option from isabelle-process and isabelle usedir;
  5446 this is always enabled.
  5447 
  5448 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 4.x versions.
  5449 
  5450 * Isabelle tool "wwwfind" provides web interface for 'find_theorems'
  5451 on a given logic image.  This requires the lighttpd webserver and is
  5452 currently supported on Linux only.
  5453 
  5454 
  5455 
  5456 New in Isabelle2009 (April 2009)
  5457 --------------------------------
  5458 
  5459 *** General ***
  5460 
  5461 * Simplified main Isabelle executables, with less surprises on
  5462 case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  5463 
  5464   - The main Isabelle tool wrapper is now called "isabelle" instead of
  5465     "isatool."
  5466 
  5467   - The former "isabelle" alias for "isabelle-process" has been
  5468     removed (should rarely occur to regular users).
  5469 
  5470   - The former "isabelle-interface" and its alias "Isabelle" have been
  5471     removed (interfaces are now regular Isabelle tools).
  5472 
  5473 Within scripts and make files, the Isabelle environment variables
  5474 ISABELLE_TOOL and ISABELLE_PROCESS replace old ISATOOL and ISABELLE,
  5475 respectively.  (The latter are still available as legacy feature.)
  5476 
  5477 The old isabelle-interface wrapper could react in confusing ways if
  5478 the interface was uninstalled or changed otherwise.  Individual
  5479 interface tool configuration is now more explicit, see also the
  5480 Isabelle system manual.  In particular, Proof General is now available
  5481 via "isabelle emacs".
  5482 
  5483 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt derivative scripts.  Users may need to
  5484 purge installed copies of Isabelle executables and re-run "isabelle
  5485 install -p ...", or use symlinks.
  5486 
  5487 * The default for ISABELLE_HOME_USER is now ~/.isabelle instead of the
  5488 old ~/isabelle, which was slightly non-standard and apt to cause
  5489 surprises on case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  5490 
  5491 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to move existing ~/isabelle/etc,
  5492 ~/isabelle/heaps, ~/isabelle/browser_info to the new place.  Special
  5493 care is required when using older releases of Isabelle.  Note that
  5494 ISABELLE_HOME_USER can be changed in Isabelle/etc/settings of any
  5495 Isabelle distribution, in order to use the new ~/.isabelle uniformly.
  5496 
  5497 * Proofs of fully specified statements are run in parallel on
  5498 multi-core systems.  A speedup factor of 2.5 to 3.2 can be expected on
  5499 a regular 4-core machine, if the initial heap space is made reasonably
  5500 large (cf. Poly/ML option -H).  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  5501 
  5502 * The main reference manuals ("isar-ref", "implementation", and
  5503 "system") have been updated and extended.  Formally checked references
  5504 as hyperlinks are now available uniformly.
  5505 
  5506 
  5507 *** Pure ***
  5508 
  5509 * Complete re-implementation of locales.  INCOMPATIBILITY in several
  5510 respects.  The most important changes are listed below.  See the
  5511 Tutorial on Locales ("locales" manual) for details.
  5512 
  5513 - In locale expressions, instantiation replaces renaming.  Parameters
  5514 must be declared in a for clause.  To aid compatibility with previous
  5515 parameter inheritance, in locale declarations, parameters that are not
  5516 'touched' (instantiation position "_" or omitted) are implicitly added
  5517 with their syntax at the beginning of the for clause.
  5518 
  5519 - Syntax from abbreviations and definitions in locales is available in
  5520 locale expressions and context elements.  The latter is particularly
  5521 useful in locale declarations.
  5522 
  5523 - More flexible mechanisms to qualify names generated by locale
  5524 expressions.  Qualifiers (prefixes) may be specified in locale
  5525 expressions, and can be marked as mandatory (syntax: "name!:") or
  5526 optional (syntax "name?:").  The default depends for plain "name:"
  5527 depends on the situation where a locale expression is used: in
  5528 commands 'locale' and 'sublocale' prefixes are optional, in
  5529 'interpretation' and 'interpret' prefixes are mandatory.  The old
  5530 implicit qualifiers derived from the parameter names of a locale are
  5531 no longer generated.
  5532 
  5533 - Command "sublocale l < e" replaces "interpretation l < e".  The
  5534 instantiation clause in "interpretation" and "interpret" (square
  5535 brackets) is no longer available.  Use locale expressions.
  5536 
  5537 - When converting proof scripts, mandatory qualifiers in
  5538 'interpretation' and 'interpret' should be retained by default, even
  5539 if this is an INCOMPATIBILITY compared to former behavior.  In the
  5540 worst case, use the "name?:" form for non-mandatory ones.  Qualifiers
  5541 in locale expressions range over a single locale instance only.
  5542 
  5543 - Dropped locale element "includes".  This is a major INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5544 In existing theorem specifications replace the includes element by the
  5545 respective context elements of the included locale, omitting those
  5546 that are already present in the theorem specification.  Multiple
  5547 assume elements of a locale should be replaced by a single one
  5548 involving the locale predicate.  In the proof body, declarations (most
  5549 notably theorems) may be regained by interpreting the respective
  5550 locales in the proof context as required (command "interpret").
  5551 
  5552 If using "includes" in replacement of a target solely because the
  5553 parameter types in the theorem are not as general as in the target,
  5554 consider declaring a new locale with additional type constraints on
  5555 the parameters (context element "constrains").
  5556 
  5557 - Discontinued "locale (open)".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5558 
  5559 - Locale interpretation commands no longer attempt to simplify goal.
  5560 INCOMPATIBILITY: in rare situations the generated goal differs.  Use
  5561 methods intro_locales and unfold_locales to clarify.
  5562 
  5563 - Locale interpretation commands no longer accept interpretation
  5564 attributes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5565 
  5566 * Class declaration: so-called "base sort" must not be given in import
  5567 list any longer, but is inferred from the specification.  Particularly
  5568 in HOL, write
  5569 
  5570     class foo = ...
  5571 
  5572 instead of
  5573 
  5574     class foo = type + ...
  5575 
  5576 * Class target: global versions of theorems stemming do not carry a
  5577 parameter prefix any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5578 
  5579 * Class 'instance' command no longer accepts attached definitions.
  5580 INCOMPATIBILITY, use proper 'instantiation' target instead.
  5581 
  5582 * Recovered hiding of consts, which was accidentally broken in
  5583 Isabelle2007.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, ``hide const c'' really
  5584 makes c inaccessible; consider using ``hide (open) const c'' instead.
  5585 
  5586 * Slightly more coherent Pure syntax, with updated documentation in
  5587 isar-ref manual.  Removed locales meta_term_syntax and
  5588 meta_conjunction_syntax: TERM and &&& (formerly &&) are now permanent,
  5589 INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations.  Note that &&& should not be used
  5590 directly in regular applications.
  5591 
  5592 * There is a new syntactic category "float_const" for signed decimal
  5593 fractions (e.g. 123.45 or -123.45).
  5594 
  5595 * Removed exotic 'token_translation' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML
  5596 interface with 'setup' command instead.
  5597 
  5598 * Command 'local_setup' is similar to 'setup', but operates on a local
  5599 theory context.
  5600 
  5601 * The 'axiomatization' command now only works within a global theory
  5602 context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5603 
  5604 * Goal-directed proof now enforces strict proof irrelevance wrt. sort
  5605 hypotheses.  Sorts required in the course of reasoning need to be
  5606 covered by the constraints in the initial statement, completed by the
  5607 type instance information of the background theory.  Non-trivial sort
  5608 hypotheses, which rarely occur in practice, may be specified via
  5609 vacuous propositions of the form SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::c).  For example:
  5610 
  5611   lemma assumes "SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::empty)" shows False ...
  5612 
  5613 The result contains an implicit sort hypotheses as before --
  5614 SORT_CONSTRAINT premises are eliminated as part of the canonical rule
  5615 normalization.
  5616 
  5617 * Generalized Isar history, with support for linear undo, direct state
  5618 addressing etc.
  5619 
  5620 * Changed defaults for unify configuration options:
  5621 
  5622   unify_trace_bound = 50 (formerly 25)
  5623   unify_search_bound = 60 (formerly 30)
  5624 
  5625 * Different bookkeeping for code equations (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  5626 
  5627   a) On theory merge, the last set of code equations for a particular
  5628      constant is taken (in accordance with the policy applied by other
  5629      parts of the code generator framework).
  5630 
  5631   b) Code equations stemming from explicit declarations (e.g. code
  5632      attribute) gain priority over default code equations stemming
  5633      from definition, primrec, fun etc.
  5634 
  5635 * Keyword 'code_exception' now named 'code_abort'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5636 
  5637 * Unified theorem tables for both code generators.  Thus [code
  5638 func] has disappeared and only [code] remains.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5639 
  5640 * Command 'find_consts' searches for constants based on type and name
  5641 patterns, e.g.
  5642 
  5643     find_consts "_ => bool"
  5644 
  5645 By default, matching is against subtypes, but it may be restricted to
  5646 the whole type.  Searching by name is possible.  Multiple queries are
  5647 conjunctive and queries may be negated by prefixing them with a
  5648 hyphen:
  5649 
  5650     find_consts strict: "_ => bool" name: "Int" -"int => int"
  5651 
  5652 * New 'find_theorems' criterion "solves" matches theorems that
  5653 directly solve the current goal (modulo higher-order unification).
  5654 
  5655 * Auto solve feature for main theorem statements: whenever a new goal
  5656 is stated, "find_theorems solves" is called; any theorems that could
  5657 solve the lemma directly are listed as part of the goal state.
  5658 Cf. associated options in Proof General Isabelle settings menu,
  5659 enabled by default, with reasonable timeout for pathological cases of
  5660 higher-order unification.
  5661 
  5662 
  5663 *** Document preparation ***
  5664 
  5665 * Antiquotation @{lemma} now imitates a regular terminal proof,
  5666 demanding keyword 'by' and supporting the full method expression
  5667 syntax just like the Isar command 'by'.
  5668 
  5669 
  5670 *** HOL ***
  5671 
  5672 * Integrated main parts of former image HOL-Complex with HOL.  Entry
  5673 points Main and Complex_Main remain as before.
  5674 
  5675 * Logic image HOL-Plain provides a minimal HOL with the most important
  5676 tools available (inductive, datatype, primrec, ...).  This facilitates
  5677 experimentation and tool development.  Note that user applications
  5678 (and library theories) should never refer to anything below theory
  5679 Main, as before.
  5680 
  5681 * Logic image HOL-Main stops at theory Main, and thus facilitates
  5682 experimentation due to shorter build times.
  5683 
  5684 * Logic image HOL-NSA contains theories of nonstandard analysis which
  5685 were previously part of former HOL-Complex.  Entry point Hyperreal
  5686 remains valid, but theories formerly using Complex_Main should now use
  5687 new entry point Hypercomplex.
  5688 
  5689 * Generic ATP manager for Sledgehammer, based on ML threads instead of
  5690 Posix processes.  Avoids potentially expensive forking of the ML
  5691 process.  New thread-based implementation also works on non-Unix
  5692 platforms (Cygwin).  Provers are no longer hardwired, but defined
  5693 within the theory via plain ML wrapper functions.  Basic Sledgehammer
  5694 commands are covered in the isar-ref manual.
  5695 
  5696 * Wrapper scripts for remote SystemOnTPTP service allows to use
  5697 sledgehammer without local ATP installation (Vampire etc.). Other
  5698 provers may be included via suitable ML wrappers, see also
  5699 src/HOL/ATP_Linkup.thy.
  5700 
  5701 * ATP selection (E/Vampire/Spass) is now via Proof General's settings
  5702 menu.
  5703 
  5704 * The metis method no longer fails because the theorem is too trivial
  5705 (contains the empty clause).
  5706 
  5707 * The metis method now fails in the usual manner, rather than raising
  5708 an exception, if it determines that it cannot prove the theorem.
  5709 
  5710 * Method "coherent" implements a prover for coherent logic (see also
  5711 src/Tools/coherent.ML).
  5712 
  5713 * Constants "undefined" and "default" replace "arbitrary".  Usually
  5714 "undefined" is the right choice to replace "arbitrary", though
  5715 logically there is no difference.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5716 
  5717 * Command "value" now integrates different evaluation mechanisms.  The
  5718 result of the first successful evaluation mechanism is printed.  In
  5719 square brackets a particular named evaluation mechanisms may be
  5720 specified (currently, [SML], [code] or [nbe]).  See further
  5721 src/HOL/ex/Eval_Examples.thy.
  5722 
  5723 * Normalization by evaluation now allows non-leftlinear equations.
  5724 Declare with attribute [code nbe].
  5725 
  5726 * Methods "case_tac" and "induct_tac" now refer to the very same rules
  5727 as the structured Isar versions "cases" and "induct", cf. the
  5728 corresponding "cases" and "induct" attributes.  Mutual induction rules
  5729 are now presented as a list of individual projections
  5730 (e.g. foo_bar.inducts for types foo and bar); the old format with
  5731 explicit HOL conjunction is no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  5732 rare situations a different rule is selected --- notably nested tuple
  5733 elimination instead of former prod.exhaust: use explicit (case_tac t
  5734 rule: prod.exhaust) here.
  5735 
  5736 * Attributes "cases", "induct", "coinduct" support "del" option.
  5737 
  5738 * Removed fact "case_split_thm", which duplicates "case_split".
  5739 
  5740 * The option datatype has been moved to a new theory Option.  Renamed
  5741 option_map to Option.map, and o2s to Option.set, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5742 
  5743 * New predicate "strict_mono" classifies strict functions on partial
  5744 orders.  With strict functions on linear orders, reasoning about
  5745 (in)equalities is facilitated by theorems "strict_mono_eq",
  5746 "strict_mono_less_eq" and "strict_mono_less".
  5747 
  5748 * Some set operations are now proper qualified constants with
  5749 authentic syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5750 
  5751     op Int ~>   Set.Int
  5752     op Un ~>    Set.Un
  5753     INTER ~>    Set.INTER
  5754     UNION ~>    Set.UNION
  5755     Inter ~>    Set.Inter
  5756     Union ~>    Set.Union
  5757     {} ~>       Set.empty
  5758     UNIV ~>     Set.UNIV
  5759 
  5760 * Class complete_lattice with operations Inf, Sup, INFI, SUPR now in
  5761 theory Set.
  5762 
  5763 * Auxiliary class "itself" has disappeared -- classes without any
  5764 parameter are treated as expected by the 'class' command.
  5765 
  5766 * Leibnitz's Series for Pi and the arcus tangens and logarithm series.
  5767 
  5768 * Common decision procedures (Cooper, MIR, Ferrack, Approximation,
  5769 Dense_Linear_Order) are now in directory HOL/Decision_Procs.
  5770 
  5771 * Theory src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation provides the new proof
  5772 method "approximation".  It proves formulas on real values by using
  5773 interval arithmetic.  In the formulas are also the transcendental
  5774 functions sin, cos, tan, atan, ln, exp and the constant pi are
  5775 allowed. For examples see
  5776 src/HOL/Descision_Procs/ex/Approximation_Ex.thy.
  5777 
  5778 * Theory "Reflection" now resides in HOL/Library.
  5779 
  5780 * Entry point to Word library now simply named "Word".
  5781 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5782 
  5783 * Made source layout more coherent with logical distribution
  5784 structure:

  5838 * If methods "eval" and "evaluation" encounter a structured proof
  5839 state with !!/==>, only the conclusion is evaluated to True (if
  5840 possible), avoiding strange error messages.
  5841 
  5842 * Method "sizechange" automates termination proofs using (a
  5843 modification of) the size-change principle.  Requires SAT solver.  See
  5844 src/HOL/ex/Termination.thy for examples.
  5845 
  5846 * Simplifier: simproc for let expressions now unfolds if bound
  5847 variable occurs at most once in let expression body.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5848 
  5849 * Method "arith": Linear arithmetic now ignores all inequalities when
  5850 fast_arith_neq_limit is exceeded, instead of giving up entirely.
  5851 
  5852 * New attribute "arith" for facts that should always be used
  5853 automatically by arithmetic. It is intended to be used locally in
  5854 proofs, e.g.
  5855 
  5856   assumes [arith]: "x > 0"
  5857 
  5858 Global usage is discouraged because of possible performance impact.
  5859 
  5860 * New classes "top" and "bot" with corresponding operations "top" and
  5861 "bot" in theory Orderings; instantiation of class "complete_lattice"
  5862 requires instantiation of classes "top" and "bot".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5863 
  5864 * Changed definition lemma "less_fun_def" in order to provide an
  5865 instance for preorders on functions; use lemma "less_le" instead.
  5866 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5867 
  5868 * Theory Orderings: class "wellorder" moved here, with explicit
  5869 induction rule "less_induct" as assumption.  For instantiation of
  5870 "wellorder" by means of predicate "wf", use rule wf_wellorderI.
  5871 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5872 
  5873 * Theory Orderings: added class "preorder" as superclass of "order".
  5874 INCOMPATIBILITY: Instantiation proofs for order, linorder
  5875 etc. slightly changed.  Some theorems named order_class.* now named
  5876 preorder_class.*.
  5877 
  5878 * Theory Relation: renamed "refl" to "refl_on", "reflexive" to "refl,
  5879 "diag" to "Id_on".
  5880 
  5881 * Theory Finite_Set: added a new fold combinator of type
  5882 
  5883   ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  5884 
  5885 Occasionally this is more convenient than the old fold combinator
  5886 which is now defined in terms of the new one and renamed to
  5887 fold_image.
  5888 
  5889 * Theories Ring_and_Field and OrderedGroup: The lemmas "group_simps"
  5890 and "ring_simps" have been replaced by "algebra_simps" (which can be
  5891 extended with further lemmas!).  At the moment both still exist but
  5892 the former will disappear at some point.
  5893 
  5894 * Theory Power: Lemma power_Suc is now declared as a simp rule in
  5895 class recpower.  Type-specific simp rules for various recpower types
  5896 have been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, rename old lemmas as follows:
  5897 
  5898 rat_power_0    -> power_0
  5899 rat_power_Suc  -> power_Suc
  5900 realpow_0      -> power_0
  5901 realpow_Suc    -> power_Suc
  5902 complexpow_0   -> power_0
  5903 complexpow_Suc -> power_Suc
  5904 power_poly_0   -> power_0
  5905 power_poly_Suc -> power_Suc
  5906 
  5907 * Theories Ring_and_Field and Divides: Definition of "op dvd" has been
  5908 moved to separate class dvd in Ring_and_Field; a couple of lemmas on
  5909 dvd has been generalized to class comm_semiring_1.  Likewise a bunch
  5910 of lemmas from Divides has been generalized from nat to class
  5911 semiring_div.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  This involves the following theorem
  5912 renames resulting from duplicate elimination:
  5913 
  5914     dvd_def_mod ~>          dvd_eq_mod_eq_0
  5915     zero_dvd_iff ~>         dvd_0_left_iff
  5916     dvd_0 ~>                dvd_0_right
  5917     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_DIV ~> div_by_0
  5918     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_MOD ~> mod_by_0
  5919     mult_div ~>             div_mult_self2_is_id
  5920     mult_mod ~>             mod_mult_self2_is_0
  5921 
  5922 * Theory IntDiv: removed many lemmas that are instances of class-based
  5923 generalizations (from Divides and Ring_and_Field).  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  5924 rename old lemmas as follows:
  5925 
  5926 dvd_diff               -> nat_dvd_diff
  5927 dvd_zminus_iff         -> dvd_minus_iff
  5928 mod_add1_eq            -> mod_add_eq
  5929 mod_mult1_eq           -> mod_mult_right_eq
  5930 mod_mult1_eq'          -> mod_mult_left_eq
  5931 mod_mult_distrib_mod   -> mod_mult_eq
  5932 nat_mod_add_left_eq    -> mod_add_left_eq
  5933 nat_mod_add_right_eq   -> mod_add_right_eq
  5934 nat_mod_div_trivial    -> mod_div_trivial
  5935 nat_mod_mod_trivial    -> mod_mod_trivial
  5936 zdiv_zadd_self1        -> div_add_self1
  5937 zdiv_zadd_self2        -> div_add_self2
  5938 zdiv_zmult_self1       -> div_mult_self2_is_id
  5939 zdiv_zmult_self2       -> div_mult_self1_is_id
  5940 zdvd_triv_left         -> dvd_triv_left
  5941 zdvd_triv_right        -> dvd_triv_right
  5942 zdvd_zmult_cancel_disj -> dvd_mult_cancel_left
  5943 zmod_eq0_zdvd_iff      -> dvd_eq_mod_eq_0[symmetric]
  5944 zmod_zadd_left_eq      -> mod_add_left_eq
  5945 zmod_zadd_right_eq     -> mod_add_right_eq
  5946 zmod_zadd_self1        -> mod_add_self1
  5947 zmod_zadd_self2        -> mod_add_self2
  5948 zmod_zadd1_eq          -> mod_add_eq
  5949 zmod_zdiff1_eq         -> mod_diff_eq
  5950 zmod_zdvd_zmod         -> mod_mod_cancel
  5951 zmod_zmod_cancel       -> mod_mod_cancel
  5952 zmod_zmult_self1       -> mod_mult_self2_is_0
  5953 zmod_zmult_self2       -> mod_mult_self1_is_0
  5954 zmod_1                 -> mod_by_1
  5955 zdiv_1                 -> div_by_1
  5956 zdvd_abs1              -> abs_dvd_iff
  5957 zdvd_abs2              -> dvd_abs_iff
  5958 zdvd_refl              -> dvd_refl
  5959 zdvd_trans             -> dvd_trans
  5960 zdvd_zadd              -> dvd_add
  5961 zdvd_zdiff             -> dvd_diff
  5962 zdvd_zminus_iff        -> dvd_minus_iff
  5963 zdvd_zminus2_iff       -> minus_dvd_iff
  5964 zdvd_zmultD            -> dvd_mult_right
  5965 zdvd_zmultD2           -> dvd_mult_left
  5966 zdvd_zmult_mono        -> mult_dvd_mono
  5967 zdvd_0_right           -> dvd_0_right
  5968 zdvd_0_left            -> dvd_0_left_iff
  5969 zdvd_1_left            -> one_dvd
  5970 zminus_dvd_iff         -> minus_dvd_iff
  5971 
  5972 * Theory Rational: 'Fract k 0' now equals '0'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5973 
  5974 * The real numbers offer decimal input syntax: 12.34 is translated
  5975 into 1234/10^2. This translation is not reversed upon output.
  5976 
  5977 * Theory Library/Polynomial defines an abstract type 'a poly of
  5978 univariate polynomials with coefficients of type 'a.  In addition to
  5979 the standard ring operations, it also supports div and mod.  Code
  5980 generation is also supported, using list-style constructors.
  5981 
  5982 * Theory Library/Inner_Product defines a class of real_inner for real
  5983 inner product spaces, with an overloaded operation inner :: 'a => 'a
  5984 => real.  Class real_inner is a subclass of real_normed_vector from
  5985 theory RealVector.
  5986 
  5987 * Theory Library/Product_Vector provides instances for the product
  5988 type 'a * 'b of several classes from RealVector and Inner_Product.
  5989 Definitions of addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, norms,
  5990 and inner products are included.
  5991 
  5992 * Theory Library/Bit defines the field "bit" of integers modulo 2.  In
  5993 addition to the field operations, numerals and case syntax are also
  5994 supported.
  5995 
  5996 * Theory Library/Diagonalize provides constructive version of Cantor's
  5997 first diagonalization argument.
  5998 
  5999 * Theory Library/GCD: Curried operations gcd, lcm (for nat) and zgcd,
  6000 zlcm (for int); carried together from various gcd/lcm developements in
  6001 the HOL Distribution.  Constants zgcd and zlcm replace former igcd and
  6002 ilcm; corresponding theorems renamed accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  6003 may recover tupled syntax as follows:
  6004 
  6005     hide (open) const gcd
  6006     abbreviation gcd where
  6007       "gcd == (%(a, b). GCD.gcd a b)"
  6008     notation (output)
  6009       GCD.gcd ("gcd '(_, _')")
  6010 
  6011 The same works for lcm, zgcd, zlcm.
  6012 
  6013 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity: added addition, numeral syntax and more
  6014 instantiations for algebraic structures.  Removed some duplicate
  6015 theorems.  Changes in simp rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6016 
  6017 * ML antiquotation @{code} takes a constant as argument and generates
  6018 corresponding code in background and inserts name of the corresponding
  6019 resulting ML value/function/datatype constructor binding in place.
  6020 All occurrences of @{code} with a single ML block are generated
  6021 simultaneously.  Provides a generic and safe interface for
  6022 instrumentalizing code generation.  See
  6023 src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Ferrack.thy for a more ambitious application.
  6024 In future you ought to refrain from ad-hoc compiling generated SML
  6025 code on the ML toplevel.  Note that (for technical reasons) @{code}
  6026 cannot refer to constants for which user-defined serializations are
  6027 set.  Refer to the corresponding ML counterpart directly in that
  6028 cases.
  6029 
  6030 * Command 'rep_datatype': instead of theorem names the command now
  6031 takes a list of terms denoting the constructors of the type to be
  6032 represented as datatype.  The characteristic theorems have to be
  6033 proven.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Also observe that the following theorems
  6034 have disappeared in favour of existing ones:
  6035 
  6036     unit_induct                 ~> unit.induct
  6037     prod_induct                 ~> prod.induct
  6038     sum_induct                  ~> sum.induct
  6039     Suc_Suc_eq                  ~> nat.inject
  6040     Suc_not_Zero Zero_not_Suc   ~> nat.distinct
  6041 
  6042 
  6043 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  6044 
  6045 * New locales for orders and lattices where the equivalence relation
  6046 is not restricted to equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY: all order and lattice
  6047 locales use a record structure with field eq for the equivalence.
  6048 
  6049 * New theory of factorial domains.
  6050 
  6051 * Units_l_inv and Units_r_inv are now simp rules by default.
  6052 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Simplifier proof that require deletion of l_inv
  6053 and/or r_inv will now also require deletion of these lemmas.
  6054 
  6055 * Renamed the following theorems, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6056 
  6057 UpperD ~> Upper_memD
  6058 LowerD ~> Lower_memD
  6059 least_carrier ~> least_closed
  6060 greatest_carrier ~> greatest_closed
  6061 greatest_Lower_above ~> greatest_Lower_below
  6062 one_zero ~> carrier_one_zero
  6063 one_not_zero ~> carrier_one_not_zero  (collision with assumption)
  6064 
  6065 
  6066 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  6067 
  6068 * Nominal datatypes can now contain type-variables.
  6069 
  6070 * Commands 'nominal_inductive' and 'equivariance' work with local
  6071 theory targets.
  6072 
  6073 * Nominal primrec can now works with local theory targets and its
  6074 specification syntax now conforms to the general format as seen in
  6075 'inductive' etc.
  6076 
  6077 * Method "perm_simp" honours the standard simplifier attributes
  6078 (no_asm), (no_asm_use) etc.
  6079 
  6080 * The new predicate #* is defined like freshness, except that on the
  6081 left hand side can be a set or list of atoms.
  6082 
  6083 * Experimental command 'nominal_inductive2' derives strong induction
  6084 principles for inductive definitions.  In contrast to
  6085 'nominal_inductive', which can only deal with a fixed number of
  6086 binders, it can deal with arbitrary expressions standing for sets of
  6087 atoms to be avoided.  The only inductive definition we have at the
  6088 moment that needs this generalisation is the typing rule for Lets in
  6089 the algorithm W:
  6090 
  6091  Gamma |- t1 : T1   (x,close Gamma T1)::Gamma |- t2 : T2   x#Gamma
  6092  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  6093          Gamma |- Let x be t1 in t2 : T2
  6094 
  6095 In this rule one wants to avoid all the binders that are introduced by
  6096 "close Gamma T1".  We are looking for other examples where this
  6097 feature might be useful.  Please let us know.
  6098 
  6099 
  6100 *** HOLCF ***
  6101 
  6102 * Reimplemented the simplification procedure for proving continuity
  6103 subgoals.  The new simproc is extensible; users can declare additional
  6104 continuity introduction rules with the attribute [cont2cont].
  6105 
  6106 * The continuity simproc now uses a different introduction rule for
  6107 solving continuity subgoals on terms with lambda abstractions.  In
  6108 some rare cases the new simproc may fail to solve subgoals that the
  6109 old one could solve, and "simp add: cont2cont_LAM" may be necessary.
  6110 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6111 
  6112 * Command 'fixrec': specification syntax now conforms to the general
  6113 format as seen in 'inductive' etc.  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  6114 examples.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6115 
  6116 
  6117 *** ZF ***
  6118 
  6119 * Proof of Zorn's Lemma for partial orders.
  6120 
  6121 
  6122 *** ML ***
  6123 
  6124 * Multithreading for Poly/ML 5.1/5.2 is no longer supported, only for
  6125 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.  Important note: the TimeLimit facility
  6126 depends on multithreading, so timouts will not work before Poly/ML
  6127 5.2.1!
  6128 
  6129 * High-level support for concurrent ML programming, see
  6130 src/Pure/Cuncurrent.  The data-oriented model of "future values" is
  6131 particularly convenient to organize independent functional
  6132 computations.  The concept of "synchronized variables" provides a
  6133 higher-order interface for components with shared state, avoiding the
  6134 delicate details of mutexes and condition variables.  (Requires
  6135 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  6136 
  6137 * ML bindings produced via Isar commands are stored within the Isar
  6138 context (theory or proof).  Consequently, commands like 'use' and 'ML'
  6139 become thread-safe and work with undo as expected (concerning
  6140 top-level bindings, not side-effects on global references).
  6141 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to provide proper Isar context when invoking the
  6142 compiler at runtime; really global bindings need to be given outside a
  6143 theory.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  6144 
  6145 * Command 'ML_prf' is analogous to 'ML' but works within a proof
  6146 context.  Top-level ML bindings are stored within the proof context in
  6147 a purely sequential fashion, disregarding the nested proof structure.
  6148 ML bindings introduced by 'ML_prf' are discarded at the end of the
  6149 proof.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  6150 
  6151 * Simplified ML attribute and method setup, cf. functions Attrib.setup
  6152 and Method.setup, as well as Isar commands 'attribute_setup' and
  6153 'method_setup'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for 'method_setup', need to simplify
  6154 existing code accordingly, or use plain 'setup' together with old
  6155 Method.add_method.
  6156 
  6157 * Simplified ML oracle interface Thm.add_oracle promotes 'a -> cterm
  6158 to 'a -> thm, while results are always tagged with an authentic oracle
  6159 name.  The Isar command 'oracle' is now polymorphic, no argument type
  6160 is specified.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify existing oracle code
  6161 accordingly.  Note that extra performance may be gained by producing
  6162 the cterm carefully, avoiding slow Thm.cterm_of.
  6163 
  6164 * Simplified interface for defining document antiquotations via
  6165 ThyOutput.antiquotation, ThyOutput.output, and optionally
  6166 ThyOutput.maybe_pretty_source.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify user
  6167 antiquotations accordingly, see src/Pure/Thy/thy_output.ML for common
  6168 examples.
  6169 
  6170 * More systematic treatment of long names, abstract name bindings, and
  6171 name space operations.  Basic operations on qualified names have been
  6172 move from structure NameSpace to Long_Name, e.g. Long_Name.base_name,
  6173 Long_Name.append.  Old type bstring has been mostly replaced by
  6174 abstract type binding (see structure Binding), which supports precise
  6175 qualification by packages and local theory targets, as well as proper
  6176 tracking of source positions.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to wrap old
  6177 bstring values into Binding.name, or better pass through abstract
  6178 bindings everywhere.  See further src/Pure/General/long_name.ML,
  6179 src/Pure/General/binding.ML and src/Pure/General/name_space.ML
  6180 
  6181 * Result facts (from PureThy.note_thms, ProofContext.note_thms,
  6182 LocalTheory.note etc.) now refer to the *full* internal name, not the
  6183 bstring as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY, not detected by ML type-checking!
  6184 
  6185 * Disposed old type and term read functions (Sign.read_def_typ,
  6186 Sign.read_typ, Sign.read_def_terms, Sign.read_term,
  6187 Thm.read_def_cterms, Thm.read_cterm etc.).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should
  6188 use regular Syntax.read_typ, Syntax.read_term, Syntax.read_typ_global,
  6189 Syntax.read_term_global etc.; see also OldGoals.read_term as last
  6190 resort for legacy applications.
  6191 
  6192 * Disposed old declarations, tactics, tactic combinators that refer to
  6193 the simpset or claset of an implicit theory (such as Addsimps,
  6194 Simp_tac, SIMPSET).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should use @{simpset} etc. in
  6195 embedded ML text, or local_simpset_of with a proper context passed as
  6196 explicit runtime argument.
  6197 
  6198 * Rules and tactics that read instantiations (read_instantiate,
  6199 res_inst_tac, thin_tac, subgoal_tac etc.) now demand a proper proof
  6200 context, which is required for parsing and type-checking.  Moreover,
  6201 the variables are specified as plain indexnames, not string encodings
  6202 thereof.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6203 
  6204 * Generic Toplevel.add_hook interface allows to analyze the result of
  6205 transactions.  E.g. see src/Pure/ProofGeneral/proof_general_pgip.ML
  6206 for theorem dependency output of transactions resulting in a new
  6207 theory state.
  6208 
  6209 * ML antiquotations: block-structured compilation context indicated by
  6210 \<lbrace> ... \<rbrace>; additional antiquotation forms:
  6211 
  6212   @{binding name}                         - basic name binding
  6213   @{let ?pat = term}                      - term abbreviation (HO matching)
  6214   @{note name = fact}                     - fact abbreviation
  6215   @{thm fact}                             - singleton fact (with attributes)
  6216   @{thms fact}                            - general fact (with attributes)
  6217   @{lemma prop by method}                 - singleton goal
  6218   @{lemma prop by meth1 meth2}            - singleton goal
  6219   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by method}      - general goal
  6220   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by meth1 meth2} - general goal
  6221   @{lemma (open) ...}                     - open derivation
  6222 
  6223 
  6224 *** System ***
  6225 
  6226 * The Isabelle "emacs" tool provides a specific interface to invoke
  6227 Proof General / Emacs, with more explicit failure if that is not
  6228 installed (the old isabelle-interface script silently falls back on
  6229 isabelle-process).  The PROOFGENERAL_HOME setting determines the
  6230 installation location of the Proof General distribution.
  6231 
  6232 * Isabelle/lib/classes/Pure.jar provides basic support to integrate
  6233 the Isabelle process into a JVM/Scala application.  See
  6234 Isabelle/lib/jedit/plugin for a minimal example.  (The obsolete Java
  6235 process wrapper has been discontinued.)
  6236 
  6237 * Added homegrown Isabelle font with unicode layout, see lib/fonts.
  6238 
  6239 * Various status messages (with exact source position information) are
  6240 emitted, if proper markup print mode is enabled.  This allows
  6241 user-interface components to provide detailed feedback on internal
  6242 prover operations.
  6243 
  6244 
  6245 
  6246 New in Isabelle2008 (June 2008)
  6247 -------------------------------
  6248 
  6249 *** General ***
  6250 
  6251 * The Isabelle/Isar Reference Manual (isar-ref) has been reorganized
  6252 and updated, with formally checked references as hyperlinks.
  6253 
  6254 * Theory loader: use_thy (and similar operations) no longer set the
  6255 implicit ML context, which was occasionally hard to predict and in
  6256 conflict with concurrency.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML within Isar which
  6257 provides a proper context already.
  6258 
  6259 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  6260 file are no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, regular 'uses' and
  6261 'use' within a theory file will do the job.
  6262 
  6263 * Name space merge now observes canonical order, i.e. the second space
  6264 is inserted into the first one, while existing entries in the first
  6265 space take precedence.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, may try to
  6266 swap theory imports.
  6267 
  6268 * Syntax: symbol \<chi> is now considered a letter.  Potential
  6269 INCOMPATIBILITY in identifier syntax etc.
  6270 
  6271 * Outer syntax: string tokens no longer admit escaped white space,
  6272 which was an accidental (undocumented) feature.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  6273 white space without escapes.
  6274 
  6275 * Outer syntax: string tokens may contain arbitrary character codes
  6276 specified via 3 decimal digits (as in SML).  E.g. "foo\095bar" for
  6277 "foo_bar".
  6278 
  6279 
  6280 *** Pure ***
  6281 
  6282 * Context-dependent token translations.  Default setup reverts locally
  6283 fixed variables, and adds hilite markup for undeclared frees.
  6284 
  6285 * Unused theorems can be found using the new command 'unused_thms'.
  6286 There are three ways of invoking it:
  6287 
  6288 (1) unused_thms
  6289      Only finds unused theorems in the current theory.
  6290 
  6291 (2) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n -
  6292      Finds unused theorems in the current theory and all of its ancestors,
  6293      excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of their ancestors.
  6294 
  6295 (3) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n - thy'_1 ... thy'_m
  6296      Finds unused theorems in the theories thy'_1 ... thy'_m and all of
  6297      their ancestors, excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of
  6298      their ancestors.
  6299 
  6300 In order to increase the readability of the list produced by
  6301 unused_thms, theorems that have been created by a particular instance
  6302 of a theory command such as 'inductive' or 'function' are considered
  6303 to belong to the same "group", meaning that if at least one theorem in
  6304 this group is used, the other theorems in the same group are no longer
  6305 reported as unused.  Moreover, if all theorems in the group are
  6306 unused, only one theorem in the group is displayed.
  6307 
  6308 Note that proof objects have to be switched on in order for
  6309 unused_thms to work properly (i.e. !proofs must be >= 1, which is
  6310 usually the case when using Proof General with the default settings).
  6311 
  6312 * Authentic naming of facts disallows ad-hoc overwriting of previous
  6313 theorems within the same name space.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to remove
  6314 duplicate fact bindings, or even accidental fact duplications.  Note
  6315 that tools may maintain dynamically scoped facts systematically, using
  6316 PureThy.add_thms_dynamic.
  6317 
  6318 * Command 'hide' now allows to hide from "fact" name space as well.
  6319 
  6320 * Eliminated destructive theorem database, simpset, claset, and
  6321 clasimpset.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, really need to observe linear
  6322 update of theories within ML code.
  6323 
  6324 * Eliminated theory ProtoPure and CPure, leaving just one Pure theory.
  6325 INCOMPATIBILITY, object-logics depending on former Pure require
  6326 additional setup PureThy.old_appl_syntax_setup; object-logics
  6327 depending on former CPure need to refer to Pure.
  6328 
  6329 * Commands 'use' and 'ML' are now purely functional, operating on
  6330 theory/local_theory.  Removed former 'ML_setup' (on theory), use 'ML'
  6331 instead.  Added 'ML_val' as mere diagnostic replacement for 'ML'.
  6332 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6333 
  6334 * Command 'setup': discontinued implicit version with ML reference.
  6335 
  6336 * Instantiation target allows for simultaneous specification of class
  6337 instance operations together with an instantiation proof.
  6338 Type-checking phase allows to refer to class operations uniformly.
  6339 See src/HOL/Complex/Complex.thy for an Isar example and
  6340 src/HOL/Library/Eval.thy for an ML example.
  6341 
  6342 * Indexing of literal facts: be more serious about including only
  6343 facts from the visible specification/proof context, but not the
  6344 background context (locale etc.).  Affects `prop` notation and method
  6345 "fact".  INCOMPATIBILITY: need to name facts explicitly in rare
  6346 situations.
  6347 
  6348 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": removed obsolete/undocumented
  6349 "(open)" option, which used to expose internal bound variables to the
  6350 proof text.
  6351 
  6352 * Isar statements: removed obsolete case "rule_context".
  6353 INCOMPATIBILITY, better use explicit fixes/assumes.
  6354 
  6355 * Locale proofs: default proof step now includes 'unfold_locales';
  6356 hence 'proof' without argument may be used to unfold locale
  6357 predicates.
  6358 
  6359 
  6360 *** Document preparation ***
  6361 
  6362 * Simplified pdfsetup.sty: color/hyperref is used unconditionally for
  6363 both pdf and dvi (hyperlinks usually work in xdvi as well); removed
  6364 obsolete thumbpdf setup (contemporary PDF viewers do this on the
  6365 spot); renamed link color from "darkblue" to "linkcolor" (default
  6366 value unchanged, can be redefined via \definecolor); no longer sets
  6367 "a4paper" option (unnecessary or even intrusive).
  6368 
  6369 * Antiquotation @{lemma A method} proves proposition A by the given
  6370 method (either a method name or a method name plus (optional) method
  6371 arguments in parentheses) and prints A just like @{prop A}.
  6372 
  6373 
  6374 *** HOL ***
  6375 
  6376 * New primrec package.  Specification syntax conforms in style to
  6377 definition/function/....  No separate induction rule is provided.  The
  6378 "primrec" command distinguishes old-style and new-style specifications
  6379 by syntax.  The former primrec package is now named OldPrimrecPackage.
  6380 When adjusting theories, beware: constants stemming from new-style
  6381 primrec specifications have authentic syntax.
  6382 
  6383 * Metis prover is now an order of magnitude faster, and also works
  6384 with multithreading.
  6385 
  6386 * Metis: the maximum number of clauses that can be produced from a
  6387 theorem is now given by the attribute max_clauses.  Theorems that
  6388 exceed this number are ignored, with a warning printed.
  6389 
  6390 * Sledgehammer no longer produces structured proofs by default. To
  6391 enable, declare [[sledgehammer_full = true]].  Attributes
  6392 reconstruction_modulus, reconstruction_sorts renamed
  6393 sledgehammer_modulus, sledgehammer_sorts.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6394 
  6395 * Method "induct_scheme" derives user-specified induction rules
  6396 from well-founded induction and completeness of patterns. This factors
  6397 out some operations that are done internally by the function package
  6398 and makes them available separately.  See
  6399 src/HOL/ex/Induction_Scheme.thy for examples.
  6400 
  6401 * More flexible generation of measure functions for termination
  6402 proofs: Measure functions can be declared by proving a rule of the
  6403 form "is_measure f" and giving it the [measure_function] attribute.
  6404 The "is_measure" predicate is logically meaningless (always true), and
  6405 just guides the heuristic.  To find suitable measure functions, the
  6406 termination prover sets up the goal "is_measure ?f" of the appropriate
  6407 type and generates all solutions by Prolog-style backward proof using
  6408 the declared rules.
  6409 
  6410 This setup also deals with rules like
  6411 
  6412   "is_measure f ==> is_measure (list_size f)"
  6413 
  6414 which accommodates nested datatypes that recurse through lists.
  6415 Similar rules are predeclared for products and option types.
  6416 
  6417 * Turned the type of sets "'a set" into an abbreviation for "'a => bool"
  6418 
  6419   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  6420 
  6421   - Definitions of overloaded constants on sets have to be replaced by
  6422     definitions on => and bool.
  6423 
  6424   - Some definitions of overloaded operators on sets can now be proved
  6425     using the definitions of the operators on => and bool.  Therefore,
  6426     the following theorems have been renamed:
  6427 
  6428       subset_def   -> subset_eq
  6429       psubset_def  -> psubset_eq
  6430       set_diff_def -> set_diff_eq
  6431       Compl_def    -> Compl_eq
  6432       Sup_set_def  -> Sup_set_eq
  6433       Inf_set_def  -> Inf_set_eq
  6434       sup_set_def  -> sup_set_eq
  6435       inf_set_def  -> inf_set_eq
  6436 
  6437   - Due to the incompleteness of the HO unification algorithm, some
  6438     rules such as subst may require manual instantiation, if some of
  6439     the unknowns in the rule is a set.
  6440 
  6441   - Higher order unification and forward proofs:
  6442     The proof pattern
  6443 
  6444       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  6445       then have "EX S. P S" ..
  6446 
  6447     no longer works (due to the incompleteness of the HO unification
  6448     algorithm) and must be replaced by the pattern
  6449 
  6450       have "EX S. P S"
  6451       proof
  6452         show "P S" <...>
  6453       qed
  6454 
  6455   - Calculational reasoning with subst (or similar rules):
  6456     The proof pattern
  6457 
  6458       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  6459       also have "S = T" <...>
  6460       finally have "P T" .
  6461 
  6462     no longer works (for similar reasons as the previous example) and
  6463     must be replaced by something like
  6464 
  6465       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  6466       moreover have "S = T" <...>
  6467       ultimately have "P T" by simp
  6468 
  6469   - Tactics or packages written in ML code:
  6470     Code performing pattern matching on types via
  6471 
  6472       Type ("set", [T]) => ...
  6473 
  6474     must be rewritten. Moreover, functions like strip_type or
  6475     binder_types no longer return the right value when applied to a
  6476     type of the form
  6477 
  6478       T1 => ... => Tn => U => bool
  6479 
  6480     rather than
  6481 
  6482       T1 => ... => Tn => U set
  6483 
  6484 * Merged theories Wellfounded_Recursion, Accessible_Part and
  6485 Wellfounded_Relations to theory Wellfounded.
  6486 
  6487 * Explicit class "eq" for executable equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6488 
  6489 * Class finite no longer treats UNIV as class parameter.  Use class
  6490 enum from theory Library/Enum instead to achieve a similar effect.
  6491 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6492 
  6493 * Theory List: rule list_induct2 now has explicitly named cases "Nil"
  6494 and "Cons".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6495 
  6496 * HOL (and FOL): renamed variables in rules imp_elim and swap.
  6497 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6498 
  6499 * Theory Product_Type: duplicated lemmas split_Pair_apply and
  6500 injective_fst_snd removed, use split_eta and prod_eqI instead.
  6501 Renamed upd_fst to apfst and upd_snd to apsnd.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6502 
  6503 * Theory Nat: removed redundant lemmas that merely duplicate lemmas of
  6504 the same name in theory Orderings:
  6505 
  6506   less_trans
  6507   less_linear
  6508   le_imp_less_or_eq
  6509   le_less_trans
  6510   less_le_trans
  6511   less_not_sym
  6512   less_asym
  6513 
  6514 Renamed less_imp_le to less_imp_le_nat, and less_irrefl to
  6515 less_irrefl_nat.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to more general types
  6516 and different variable names.
  6517 
  6518 * Library/Option_ord.thy: Canonical order on option type.
  6519 
  6520 * Library/RBT.thy: Red-black trees, an efficient implementation of
  6521 finite maps.
  6522 
  6523 * Library/Countable.thy: Type class for countable types.
  6524 
  6525 * Theory Int: The representation of numerals has changed.  The infix
  6526 operator BIT and the bit datatype with constructors B0 and B1 have
  6527 disappeared.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "Int.Bit0 x" and "Int.Bit1 y" in
  6528 place of "x BIT bit.B0" and "y BIT bit.B1", respectively.  Theorems
  6529 involving BIT, B0, or B1 have been renamed with "Bit0" or "Bit1"
  6530 accordingly.
  6531 
  6532 * Theory Nat: definition of <= and < on natural numbers no longer
  6533 depend on well-founded relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Definitions
  6534 le_def and less_def have disappeared.  Consider lemmas not_less
  6535 [symmetric, where ?'a = nat] and less_eq [symmetric] instead.
  6536 
  6537 * Theory Finite_Set: locales ACf, ACe, ACIf, ACIfSL and ACIfSLlin
  6538 (whose purpose mainly is for various fold_set functionals) have been
  6539 abandoned in favor of the existing algebraic classes
  6540 ab_semigroup_mult, comm_monoid_mult, ab_semigroup_idem_mult,
  6541 lower_semilattice (resp. upper_semilattice) and linorder.
  6542 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6543 
  6544 * Theory Transitive_Closure: induct and cases rules now declare proper
  6545 case_names ("base" and "step").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6546 
  6547 * Theorem Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct generalized to complete
  6548 lattices.  The form set-specific version is available as
  6549 Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct_set.
  6550 
  6551 * Renamed theorems "power.simps" to "power_int.simps".
  6552 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6553 
  6554 * Class semiring_div provides basic abstract properties of semirings
  6555 with division and modulo operations.  Subsumes former class dvd_mod.
  6556 
  6557 * Merged theories IntDef, Numeral and IntArith into unified theory
  6558 Int.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6559 
  6560 * Theory Library/Code_Index: type "index" now represents natural
  6561 numbers rather than integers.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6562 
  6563 * New class "uminus" with operation "uminus" (split of from class
  6564 "minus" which now only has operation "minus", binary).
  6565 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6566 
  6567 * Constants "card", "internal_split", "option_map" now with authentic
  6568 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6569 
  6570 * Definitions subset_def, psubset_def, set_diff_def, Compl_def,
  6571 le_bool_def, less_bool_def, le_fun_def, less_fun_def, inf_bool_def,
  6572 sup_bool_def, Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, inf_fun_def, sup_fun_def,
  6573 Inf_fun_def, Sup_fun_def, inf_set_def, sup_set_def, Inf_set_def,
  6574 Sup_set_def, le_def, less_def, option_map_def now with object
  6575 equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6576 
  6577 * Records. Removed K_record, and replaced it by pure lambda term
  6578 %x. c. The simplifier setup is now more robust against eta expansion.
  6579 INCOMPATIBILITY: in cases explicitly referring to K_record.
  6580 
  6581 * Library/Multiset: {#a, b, c#} abbreviates {#a#} + {#b#} + {#c#}.
  6582 
  6583 * Library/ListVector: new theory of arithmetic vector operations.
  6584 
  6585 * Library/Order_Relation: new theory of various orderings as sets of
  6586 pairs.  Defines preorders, partial orders, linear orders and
  6587 well-orders on sets and on types.
  6588 
  6589 
  6590 *** ZF ***
  6591 
  6592 * Renamed some theories to allow to loading both ZF and HOL in the
  6593 same session:
  6594 
  6595   Datatype  -> Datatype_ZF
  6596   Inductive -> Inductive_ZF
  6597   Int       -> Int_ZF
  6598   IntDiv    -> IntDiv_ZF
  6599   Nat       -> Nat_ZF
  6600   List      -> List_ZF
  6601   Main      -> Main_ZF
  6602 
  6603 INCOMPATIBILITY: ZF theories that import individual theories below
  6604 Main might need to be adapted.  Regular theory Main is still
  6605 available, as trivial extension of Main_ZF.
  6606 
  6607 
  6608 *** ML ***
  6609 
  6610 * ML within Isar: antiquotation @{const name} or @{const
  6611 name(typargs)} produces statically-checked Const term.
  6612 
  6613 * Functor NamedThmsFun: data is available to the user as dynamic fact
  6614 (of the same name).  Removed obsolete print command.
  6615 
  6616 * Removed obsolete "use_legacy_bindings" function.
  6617 
  6618 * The ``print mode'' is now a thread-local value derived from a global
  6619 template (the former print_mode reference), thus access becomes
  6620 non-critical.  The global print_mode reference is for session
  6621 management only; user-code should use print_mode_value,
  6622 print_mode_active, PrintMode.setmp etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6623 
  6624 * Functions system/system_out provide a robust way to invoke external
  6625 shell commands, with propagation of interrupts (requires Poly/ML
  6626 5.2.1).  Do not use OS.Process.system etc. from the basis library!
  6627 
  6628 
  6629 *** System ***
  6630 
  6631 * Default settings: PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS no longer impose xemacs ---
  6632 in accordance with Proof General 3.7, which prefers GNU emacs.
  6633 
  6634 * isatool tty runs Isabelle process with plain tty interaction;
  6635 optional line editor may be specified via ISABELLE_LINE_EDITOR
  6636 setting, the default settings attempt to locate "ledit" and "rlwrap".
  6637 
  6638 * isatool browser now works with Cygwin as well, using general
  6639 "javapath" function defined in Isabelle process environment.
  6640 
  6641 * YXML notation provides a simple and efficient alternative to
  6642 standard XML transfer syntax.  See src/Pure/General/yxml.ML and
  6643 isatool yxml as described in the Isabelle system manual.
  6644 
  6645 * JVM class isabelle.IsabelleProcess (located in Isabelle/lib/classes)
  6646 provides general wrapper for managing an Isabelle process in a robust
  6647 fashion, with ``cooked'' output from stdin/stderr.
  6648 
  6649 * Rudimentary Isabelle plugin for jEdit (see Isabelle/lib/jedit),
  6650 based on Isabelle/JVM process wrapper (see Isabelle/lib/classes).
  6651 
  6652 * Removed obsolete THIS_IS_ISABELLE_BUILD feature.  NB: the documented
  6653 way of changing the user's settings is via
  6654 ISABELLE_HOME_USER/etc/settings, which is a fully featured bash
  6655 script.
  6656 
  6657 * Multithreading.max_threads := 0 refers to the number of actual CPU
  6658 cores of the underlying machine, which is a good starting point for
  6659 optimal performance tuning.  The corresponding usedir option -M allows
  6660 "max" as an alias for "0".  WARNING: does not work on certain versions
  6661 of Mac OS (with Poly/ML 5.1).
  6662 
  6663 * isabelle-process: non-ML sessions are run with "nice", to reduce the
  6664 adverse effect of Isabelle flooding interactive front-ends (notably
  6665 ProofGeneral / XEmacs).
  6666 
  6667 
  6668 
  6669 New in Isabelle2007 (November 2007)
  6670 -----------------------------------
  6671 
  6672 *** General ***
  6673 
  6674 * More uniform information about legacy features, notably a
  6675 warning/error of "Legacy feature: ...", depending on the state of the
  6676 tolerate_legacy_features flag (default true). FUTURE INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6677 legacy features will disappear eventually.
  6678 
  6679 * Theory syntax: the header format ``theory A = B + C:'' has been
  6680 discontinued in favour of ``theory A imports B C begin''.  Use isatool
  6681 fixheaders to convert existing theory files.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6682 
  6683 * Theory syntax: the old non-Isar theory file format has been
  6684 discontinued altogether.  Note that ML proof scripts may still be used
  6685 with Isar theories; migration is usually quite simple with the ML
  6686 function use_legacy_bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6687 
  6688 * Theory syntax: some popular names (e.g. 'class', 'declaration',
  6689 'fun', 'help', 'if') are now keywords.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use double
  6690 quotes.
  6691 
  6692 * Theory loader: be more serious about observing the static theory
  6693 header specifications (including optional directories), but not the
  6694 accidental file locations of previously successful loads.  The strict
  6695 update policy of former update_thy is now already performed by
  6696 use_thy, so the former has been removed; use_thys updates several
  6697 theories simultaneously, just as 'imports' within a theory header
  6698 specification, but without merging the results.  Potential
  6699 INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to refine theory headers and commands
  6700 ROOT.ML which depend on load order.
  6701 
  6702 * Theory loader: optional support for content-based file
  6703 identification, instead of the traditional scheme of full physical
  6704 path plus date stamp; configured by the ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT setting
  6705 (cf. the system manual).  The new scheme allows to work with
  6706 non-finished theories in persistent session images, such that source
  6707 files may be moved later on without requiring reloads.
  6708 
  6709 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  6710 file (with the same base name as the theory) are considered a legacy
  6711 feature, which will disappear eventually. Even now, the theory loader
  6712 no longer maintains dependencies on such files.
  6713 
  6714 * Syntax: the scope for resolving ambiguities via type-inference is
  6715 now limited to individual terms, instead of whole simultaneous
  6716 specifications as before. This greatly reduces the complexity of the
  6717 syntax module and improves flexibility by separating parsing and
  6718 type-checking. INCOMPATIBILITY: additional type-constraints (explicit
  6719 'fixes' etc.) are required in rare situations.
  6720 
  6721 * Syntax: constants introduced by new-style packages ('definition',
  6722 'abbreviation' etc.) are passed through the syntax module in
  6723 ``authentic mode''. This means that associated mixfix annotations
  6724 really stick to such constants, independently of potential name space
  6725 ambiguities introduced later on. INCOMPATIBILITY: constants in parse
  6726 trees are represented slightly differently, may need to adapt syntax
  6727 translations accordingly. Use CONST marker in 'translations' and
  6728 @{const_syntax} antiquotation in 'parse_translation' etc.
  6729 
  6730 * Legacy goal package: reduced interface to the bare minimum required
  6731 to keep existing proof scripts running.  Most other user-level
  6732 functions are now part of the OldGoals structure, which is *not* open
  6733 by default (consider isatool expandshort before open OldGoals).
  6734 Removed top_sg, prin, printyp, pprint_term/typ altogether, because
  6735 these tend to cause confusion about the actual goal (!) context being
  6736 used here, which is not necessarily the same as the_context().
  6737 
  6738 * Command 'find_theorems': supports "*" wild-card in "name:"
  6739 criterion; "with_dups" option.  Certain ProofGeneral versions might
  6740 support a specific search form (see ProofGeneral/CHANGES).
  6741 
  6742 * The ``prems limit'' option (cf. ProofContext.prems_limit) is now -1
  6743 by default, which means that "prems" (and also "fixed variables") are
  6744 suppressed from proof state output.  Note that the ProofGeneral
  6745 settings mechanism allows to change and save options persistently, but
  6746 older versions of Isabelle will fail to start up if a negative prems
  6747 limit is imposed.
  6748 
  6749 * Local theory targets may be specified by non-nested blocks of
  6750 ``context/locale/class ... begin'' followed by ``end''.  The body may
  6751 contain definitions, theorems etc., including any derived mechanism
  6752 that has been implemented on top of these primitives.  This concept
  6753 generalizes the existing ``theorem (in ...)'' towards more versatility
  6754 and scalability.
  6755 
  6756 * Proof General interface: proper undo of final 'end' command;
  6757 discontinued Isabelle/classic mode (ML proof scripts).
  6758 
  6759 
  6760 *** Document preparation ***
  6761 
  6762 * Added antiquotation @{theory name} which prints the given name,
  6763 after checking that it refers to a valid ancestor theory in the
  6764 current context.
  6765 
  6766 * Added antiquotations @{ML_type text} and @{ML_struct text} which
  6767 check the given source text as ML type/structure, printing verbatim.
  6768 
  6769 * Added antiquotation @{abbrev "c args"} which prints the abbreviation
  6770 "c args == rhs" given in the current context.  (Any number of
  6771 arguments may be given on the LHS.)
  6772 
  6773 
  6774 *** Pure ***
  6775 
  6776 * The 'class' package offers a combination of axclass and locale to
  6777 achieve Haskell-like type classes in Isabelle.  Definitions and
  6778 theorems within a class context produce both relative results (with
  6779 implicit parameters according to the locale context), and polymorphic
  6780 constants with qualified polymorphism (according to the class
  6781 context).  Within the body context of a 'class' target, a separate
  6782 syntax layer ("user space type system") takes care of converting
  6783 between global polymorphic consts and internal locale representation.
  6784 See src/HOL/ex/Classpackage.thy for examples (as well as main HOL).
  6785 "isatool doc classes" provides a tutorial.
  6786 
  6787 * Generic code generator framework allows to generate executable
  6788 code for ML and Haskell (including Isabelle classes).  A short usage
  6789 sketch:
  6790 
  6791     internal compilation:
  6792         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML
  6793     writing SML code to a file:
  6794         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML <filename>
  6795     writing OCaml code to a file:
  6796         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in OCaml <filename>
  6797     writing Haskell code to a bunch of files:
  6798         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in Haskell <filename>
  6799 
  6800     evaluating closed propositions to True/False using code generation:
  6801         method ``eval''
  6802 
  6803 Reasonable default setup of framework in HOL.
  6804 
  6805 Theorem attributs for selecting and transforming function equations theorems:
  6806 
  6807     [code fun]:        select a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  6808     [code fun del]:    deselect a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  6809     [code inline]:     select an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  6810     [code inline del]: deselect an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  6811 
  6812 User-defined serializations (target in {SML, OCaml, Haskell}):
  6813 
  6814     code_const <and-list of constants (term syntax)>
  6815       {(target) <and-list of const target syntax>}+
  6816 
  6817     code_type <and-list of type constructors>
  6818       {(target) <and-list of type target syntax>}+
  6819 
  6820     code_instance <and-list of instances>
  6821       {(target)}+
  6822         where instance ::= <type constructor> :: <class>
  6823 
  6824     code_class <and_list of classes>
  6825       {(target) <and-list of class target syntax>}+
  6826         where class target syntax ::= <class name> {where {<classop> == <target syntax>}+}?
  6827 
  6828 code_instance and code_class only are effective to target Haskell.
  6829 
  6830 For example usage see src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator.thy and
  6831 src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator_Pretty.thy.  A separate tutorial on code
  6832 generation from Isabelle/HOL theories is available via "isatool doc
  6833 codegen".
  6834 
  6835 * Code generator: consts in 'consts_code' Isar commands are now
  6836 referred to by usual term syntax (including optional type
  6837 annotations).
  6838 
  6839 * Command 'no_translations' removes translation rules from theory
  6840 syntax.
  6841 
  6842 * Overloaded definitions are now actually checked for acyclic
  6843 dependencies.  The overloading scheme is slightly more general than
  6844 that of Haskell98, although Isabelle does not demand an exact
  6845 correspondence to type class and instance declarations.
  6846 INCOMPATIBILITY, use ``defs (unchecked overloaded)'' to admit more
  6847 exotic versions of overloading -- at the discretion of the user!
  6848 
  6849 Polymorphic constants are represented via type arguments, i.e. the
  6850 instantiation that matches an instance against the most general
  6851 declaration given in the signature.  For example, with the declaration
  6852 c :: 'a => 'a => 'a, an instance c :: nat => nat => nat is represented
  6853 as c(nat).  Overloading is essentially simultaneous structural
  6854 recursion over such type arguments.  Incomplete specification patterns
  6855 impose global constraints on all occurrences, e.g. c('a * 'a) on the
  6856 LHS means that more general c('a * 'b) will be disallowed on any RHS.
  6857 Command 'print_theory' outputs the normalized system of recursive
  6858 equations, see section "definitions".
  6859 
  6860 * Configuration options are maintained within the theory or proof
  6861 context (with name and type bool/int/string), providing a very simple
  6862 interface to a poor-man's version of general context data.  Tools may
  6863 declare options in ML (e.g. using Attrib.config_int) and then refer to
  6864 these values using Config.get etc.  Users may change options via an
  6865 associated attribute of the same name.  This form of context
  6866 declaration works particularly well with commands 'declare' or
  6867 'using', for example ``declare [[foo = 42]]''.  Thus it has become
  6868 very easy to avoid global references, which would not observe Isar
  6869 toplevel undo/redo and fail to work with multithreading.
  6870 
  6871 Various global ML references of Pure and HOL have been turned into
  6872 configuration options:
  6873 
  6874   Unify.search_bound		unify_search_bound
  6875   Unify.trace_bound		unify_trace_bound
  6876   Unify.trace_simp		unify_trace_simp
  6877   Unify.trace_types		unify_trace_types
  6878   Simplifier.simp_depth_limit	simp_depth_limit
  6879   Blast.depth_limit		blast_depth_limit
  6880   DatatypeProp.dtK		datatype_distinctness_limit
  6881   fast_arith_neq_limit  	fast_arith_neq_limit
  6882   fast_arith_split_limit	fast_arith_split_limit
  6883 
  6884 * Named collections of theorems may be easily installed as context
  6885 data using the functor NamedThmsFun (see also
  6886 src/Pure/Tools/named_thms.ML).  The user may add or delete facts via
  6887 attributes; there is also a toplevel print command.  This facility is
  6888 just a common case of general context data, which is the preferred way
  6889 for anything more complex than just a list of facts in canonical
  6890 order.
  6891 
  6892 * Isar: command 'declaration' augments a local theory by generic
  6893 declaration functions written in ML.  This enables arbitrary content
  6894 being added to the context, depending on a morphism that tells the
  6895 difference of the original declaration context wrt. the application
  6896 context encountered later on.
  6897 
  6898 * Isar: proper interfaces for simplification procedures.  Command
  6899 'simproc_setup' declares named simprocs (with match patterns, and body
  6900 text in ML).  Attribute "simproc" adds/deletes simprocs in the current
  6901 context.  ML antiquotation @{simproc name} retrieves named simprocs.
  6902 
  6903 * Isar: an extra pair of brackets around attribute declarations
  6904 abbreviates a theorem reference involving an internal dummy fact,
  6905 which will be ignored later --- only the effect of the attribute on
  6906 the background context will persist.  This form of in-place
  6907 declarations is particularly useful with commands like 'declare' and
  6908 'using', for example ``have A using [[simproc a]] by simp''.
  6909 
  6910 * Isar: method "assumption" (and implicit closing of subproofs) now
  6911 takes simple non-atomic goal assumptions into account: after applying
  6912 an assumption as a rule the resulting subgoals are solved by atomic
  6913 assumption steps.  This is particularly useful to finish 'obtain'
  6914 goals, such as "!!x. (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> P x ==> thesis",
  6915 without referring to the original premise "!!x. P x ==> thesis" in the
  6916 Isar proof context.  POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY: method "assumption" is
  6917 more permissive.
  6918 
  6919 * Isar: implicit use of prems from the Isar proof context is
  6920 considered a legacy feature.  Common applications like ``have A .''
  6921 may be replaced by ``have A by fact'' or ``note `A`''.  In general,
  6922 referencing facts explicitly here improves readability and
  6923 maintainability of proof texts.
  6924 
  6925 * Isar: improper proof element 'guess' is like 'obtain', but derives
  6926 the obtained context from the course of reasoning!  For example:
  6927 
  6928   assume "EX x y. A x & B y"   -- "any previous fact"
  6929   then guess x and y by clarify
  6930 
  6931 This technique is potentially adventurous, depending on the facts and
  6932 proof tools being involved here.
  6933 
  6934 * Isar: known facts from the proof context may be specified as literal
  6935 propositions, using ASCII back-quote syntax.  This works wherever
  6936 named facts used to be allowed so far, in proof commands, proof
  6937 methods, attributes etc.  Literal facts are retrieved from the context
  6938 according to unification of type and term parameters.  For example,
  6939 provided that "A" and "A ==> B" and "!!x. P x ==> Q x" are known
  6940 theorems in the current context, then these are valid literal facts:
  6941 `A` and `A ==> B` and `!!x. P x ==> Q x" as well as `P a ==> Q a` etc.
  6942 
  6943 There is also a proof method "fact" which does the same composition
  6944 for explicit goal states, e.g. the following proof texts coincide with
  6945 certain special cases of literal facts:
  6946 
  6947   have "A" by fact                 ==  note `A`
  6948   have "A ==> B" by fact           ==  note `A ==> B`
  6949   have "!!x. P x ==> Q x" by fact  ==  note `!!x. P x ==> Q x`
  6950   have "P a ==> Q a" by fact       ==  note `P a ==> Q a`
  6951 
  6952 * Isar: ":" (colon) is no longer a symbolic identifier character in
  6953 outer syntax.  Thus symbolic identifiers may be used without
  6954 additional white space in declarations like this: ``assume *: A''.
  6955 
  6956 * Isar: 'print_facts' prints all local facts of the current context,
  6957 both named and unnamed ones.
  6958 
  6959 * Isar: 'def' now admits simultaneous definitions, e.g.:
  6960 
  6961   def x == "t" and y == "u"
  6962 
  6963 * Isar: added command 'unfolding', which is structurally similar to
  6964 'using', but affects both the goal state and facts by unfolding given
  6965 rewrite rules.  Thus many occurrences of the 'unfold' method or
  6966 'unfolded' attribute may be replaced by first-class proof text.
  6967 
  6968 * Isar: methods 'unfold' / 'fold', attributes 'unfolded' / 'folded',
  6969 and command 'unfolding' now all support object-level equalities
  6970 (potentially conditional).  The underlying notion of rewrite rule is
  6971 analogous to the 'rule_format' attribute, but *not* that of the
  6972 Simplifier (which is usually more generous).
  6973 
  6974 * Isar: the new attribute [rotated n] (default n = 1) rotates the
  6975 premises of a theorem by n. Useful in conjunction with drule.
  6976 
  6977 * Isar: the goal restriction operator [N] (default N = 1) evaluates a
  6978 method expression within a sandbox consisting of the first N
  6979 sub-goals, which need to exist.  For example, ``simp_all [3]''
  6980 simplifies the first three sub-goals, while (rule foo, simp_all)[]
  6981 simplifies all new goals that emerge from applying rule foo to the
  6982 originally first one.
  6983 
  6984 * Isar: schematic goals are no longer restricted to higher-order
  6985 patterns; e.g. ``lemma "?P(?x)" by (rule TrueI)'' now works as
  6986 expected.
  6987 
  6988 * Isar: the conclusion of a long theorem statement is now either
  6989 'shows' (a simultaneous conjunction, as before), or 'obtains'
  6990 (essentially a disjunction of cases with local parameters and
  6991 assumptions).  The latter allows to express general elimination rules
  6992 adequately; in this notation common elimination rules look like this:
  6993 
  6994   lemma exE:    -- "EX x. P x ==> (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6995     assumes "EX x. P x"
  6996     obtains x where "P x"
  6997 
  6998   lemma conjE:  -- "A & B ==> (A ==> B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6999     assumes "A & B"
  7000     obtains A and B
  7001 
  7002   lemma disjE:  -- "A | B ==> (A ==> thesis) ==> (B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  7003     assumes "A | B"
  7004     obtains
  7005       A
  7006     | B
  7007 
  7008 The subsequent classical rules even refer to the formal "thesis"
  7009 explicitly:
  7010 
  7011   lemma classical:     -- "(~ thesis ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  7012     obtains "~ thesis"
  7013 
  7014   lemma Peirce's_Law:  -- "((thesis ==> something) ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  7015     obtains "thesis ==> something"
  7016 
  7017 The actual proof of an 'obtains' statement is analogous to that of the
  7018 Isar proof element 'obtain', only that there may be several cases.
  7019 Optional case names may be specified in parentheses; these will be
  7020 available both in the present proof and as annotations in the
  7021 resulting rule, for later use with the 'cases' method (cf. attribute
  7022 case_names).
  7023 
  7024 * Isar: the assumptions of a long theorem statement are available as
  7025 "assms" fact in the proof context.  This is more appropriate than the
  7026 (historical) "prems", which refers to all assumptions of the current
  7027 context, including those from the target locale, proof body etc.
  7028 
  7029 * Isar: 'print_statement' prints theorems from the current theory or
  7030 proof context in long statement form, according to the syntax of a
  7031 top-level lemma.
  7032 
  7033 * Isar: 'obtain' takes an optional case name for the local context
  7034 introduction rule (default "that").
  7035 
  7036 * Isar: removed obsolete 'concl is' patterns.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  7037 explicit (is "_ ==> ?foo") in the rare cases where this still happens
  7038 to occur.
  7039 
  7040 * Pure: syntax "CONST name" produces a fully internalized constant
  7041 according to the current context.  This is particularly useful for
  7042 syntax translations that should refer to internal constant
  7043 representations independently of name spaces.
  7044 
  7045 * Pure: syntax constant for foo (binder "FOO ") is called "foo_binder"
  7046 instead of "FOO ". This allows multiple binder declarations to coexist
  7047 in the same context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7048 
  7049 * Isar/locales: 'notation' provides a robust interface to the 'syntax'
  7050 primitive that also works in a locale context (both for constants and
  7051 fixed variables). Type declaration and internal syntactic representation
  7052 of given constants retrieved from the context. Likewise, the
  7053 'no_notation' command allows to remove given syntax annotations from the
  7054 current context.
  7055 
  7056 * Isar/locales: new derived specification elements 'axiomatization',
  7057 'definition', 'abbreviation', which support type-inference, admit
  7058 object-level specifications (equality, equivalence).  See also the
  7059 isar-ref manual.  Examples:
  7060 
  7061   axiomatization
  7062     eq  (infix "===" 50) where
  7063     eq_refl: "x === x" and eq_subst: "x === y ==> P x ==> P y"
  7064 
  7065   definition "f x y = x + y + 1"
  7066   definition g where "g x = f x x"
  7067 
  7068   abbreviation
  7069     neq  (infix "=!=" 50) where
  7070     "x =!= y == ~ (x === y)"
  7071 
  7072 These specifications may be also used in a locale context.  Then the
  7073 constants being introduced depend on certain fixed parameters, and the
  7074 constant name is qualified by the locale base name.  An internal
  7075 abbreviation takes care for convenient input and output, making the
  7076 parameters implicit and using the original short name.  See also
  7077 src/HOL/ex/Abstract_NAT.thy for an example of deriving polymorphic
  7078 entities from a monomorphic theory.
  7079 
  7080 Presently, abbreviations are only available 'in' a target locale, but
  7081 not inherited by general import expressions.  Also note that
  7082 'abbreviation' may be used as a type-safe replacement for 'syntax' +
  7083 'translations' in common applications.  The "no_abbrevs" print mode
  7084 prevents folding of abbreviations in term output.
  7085 
  7086 Concrete syntax is attached to specified constants in internal form,
  7087 independently of name spaces.  The parse tree representation is
  7088 slightly different -- use 'notation' instead of raw 'syntax', and
  7089 'translations' with explicit "CONST" markup to accommodate this.
  7090 
  7091 * Pure/Isar: unified syntax for new-style specification mechanisms
  7092 (e.g.  'definition', 'abbreviation', or 'inductive' in HOL) admits
  7093 full type inference and dummy patterns ("_").  For example:
  7094 
  7095   definition "K x _ = x"
  7096 
  7097   inductive conj for A B
  7098   where "A ==> B ==> conj A B"
  7099 
  7100 * Pure: command 'print_abbrevs' prints all constant abbreviations of
  7101 the current context.  Print mode "no_abbrevs" prevents inversion of
  7102 abbreviations on output.
  7103 
  7104 * Isar/locales: improved parameter handling: use of locales "var" and
  7105 "struct" no longer necessary; - parameter renamings are no longer
  7106 required to be injective.  For example, this allows to define
  7107 endomorphisms as locale endom = homom mult mult h.
  7108 
  7109 * Isar/locales: changed the way locales with predicates are defined.
  7110 Instead of accumulating the specification, the imported expression is
  7111 now an interpretation.  INCOMPATIBILITY: different normal form of
  7112 locale expressions.  In particular, in interpretations of locales with
  7113 predicates, goals repesenting already interpreted fragments are not
  7114 removed automatically.  Use methods `intro_locales' and
  7115 `unfold_locales'; see below.
  7116 
  7117 * Isar/locales: new methods `intro_locales' and `unfold_locales'
  7118 provide backward reasoning on locales predicates.  The methods are
  7119 aware of interpretations and discharge corresponding goals.
  7120 `intro_locales' is less aggressive then `unfold_locales' and does not
  7121 unfold predicates to assumptions.
  7122 
  7123 * Isar/locales: the order in which locale fragments are accumulated
  7124 has changed.  This enables to override declarations from fragments due
  7125 to interpretations -- for example, unwanted simp rules.
  7126 
  7127 * Isar/locales: interpretation in theories and proof contexts has been
  7128 extended.  One may now specify (and prove) equations, which are
  7129 unfolded in interpreted theorems.  This is useful for replacing
  7130 defined concepts (constants depending on locale parameters) by
  7131 concepts already existing in the target context.  Example:
  7132 
  7133   interpretation partial_order ["op <= :: [int, int] => bool"]
  7134     where "partial_order.less (op <=) (x::int) y = (x < y)"
  7135 
  7136 Typically, the constant `partial_order.less' is created by a
  7137 definition specification element in the context of locale
  7138 partial_order.
  7139 
  7140 * Method "induct": improved internal context management to support
  7141 local fixes and defines on-the-fly. Thus explicit meta-level
  7142 connectives !!  and ==> are rarely required anymore in inductive goals
  7143 (using object-logic connectives for this purpose has been long
  7144 obsolete anyway). Common proof patterns are explained in
  7145 src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, see also
  7146 src/HOL/Isar_examples/Puzzle.thy and src/HOL/Lambda for realistic
  7147 examples.
  7148 
  7149 * Method "induct": improved handling of simultaneous goals. Instead of
  7150 introducing object-level conjunction, the statement is now split into
  7151 several conclusions, while the corresponding symbolic cases are nested
  7152 accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY, proofs need to be structured explicitly,
  7153 see src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, for example.
  7154 
  7155 * Method "induct": mutual induction rules are now specified as a list
  7156 of rule sharing the same induction cases. HOL packages usually provide
  7157 foo_bar.inducts for mutually defined items foo and bar (e.g. inductive
  7158 predicates/sets or datatypes). INCOMPATIBILITY, users need to specify
  7159 mutual induction rules differently, i.e. like this:
  7160 
  7161   (induct rule: foo_bar.inducts)
  7162   (induct set: foo bar)
  7163   (induct pred: foo bar)
  7164   (induct type: foo bar)
  7165 
  7166 The ML function ProjectRule.projections turns old-style rules into the
  7167 new format.
  7168 
  7169 * Method "coinduct": dual of induction, see
  7170 src/HOL/Library/Coinductive_List.thy for various examples.
  7171 
  7172 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": the ``(open)'' option is
  7173 considered a legacy feature.
  7174 
  7175 * Attribute "symmetric" produces result with standardized schematic
  7176 variables (index 0).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7177 
  7178 * Simplifier: by default the simplifier trace only shows top level
  7179 rewrites now. That is, trace_simp_depth_limit is set to 1 by
  7180 default. Thus there is less danger of being flooded by the trace. The
  7181 trace indicates where parts have been suppressed.
  7182 
  7183 * Provers/classical: removed obsolete classical version of elim_format
  7184 attribute; classical elim/dest rules are now treated uniformly when
  7185 manipulating the claset.
  7186 
  7187 * Provers/classical: stricter checks to ensure that supplied intro,
  7188 dest and elim rules are well-formed; dest and elim rules must have at
  7189 least one premise.
  7190 
  7191 * Provers/classical: attributes dest/elim/intro take an optional
  7192 weight argument for the rule (just as the Pure versions).  Weights are
  7193 ignored by automated tools, but determine the search order of single
  7194 rule steps.
  7195 
  7196 * Syntax: input syntax now supports dummy variable binding "%_. b",
  7197 where the body does not mention the bound variable.  Note that dummy
  7198 patterns implicitly depend on their context of bounds, which makes
  7199 "{_. _}" match any set comprehension as expected.  Potential
  7200 INCOMPATIBILITY -- parse translations need to cope with syntactic
  7201 constant "_idtdummy" in the binding position.
  7202 
  7203 * Syntax: removed obsolete syntactic constant "_K" and its associated
  7204 parse translation.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- use dummy abstraction instead,
  7205 for example "A -> B" => "Pi A (%_. B)".
  7206 
  7207 * Pure: 'class_deps' command visualizes the subclass relation, using
  7208 the graph browser tool.
  7209 
  7210 * Pure: 'print_theory' now suppresses certain internal declarations by
  7211 default; use '!' option for full details.
  7212 
  7213 
  7214 *** HOL ***
  7215 
  7216 * Method "metis" proves goals by applying the Metis general-purpose
  7217 resolution prover (see also http://gilith.com/software/metis/).
  7218 Examples are in the directory MetisExamples.  WARNING: the
  7219 Isabelle/HOL-Metis integration does not yet work properly with
  7220 multi-threading.
  7221 
  7222 * Command 'sledgehammer' invokes external automatic theorem provers as
  7223 background processes.  It generates calls to the "metis" method if
  7224 successful. These can be pasted into the proof.  Users do not have to
  7225 wait for the automatic provers to return.  WARNING: does not really
  7226 work with multi-threading.
  7227 
  7228 * New "auto_quickcheck" feature tests outermost goal statements for
  7229 potential counter-examples.  Controlled by ML references
  7230 auto_quickcheck (default true) and auto_quickcheck_time_limit (default
  7231 5000 milliseconds).  Fails silently if statements is outside of
  7232 executable fragment, or any other codgenerator problem occurs.
  7233 
  7234 * New constant "undefined" with axiom "undefined x = undefined".
  7235 
  7236 * Added class "HOL.eq", allowing for code generation with polymorphic
  7237 equality.
  7238 
  7239 * Some renaming of class constants due to canonical name prefixing in
  7240 the new 'class' package:
  7241 
  7242     HOL.abs ~> HOL.abs_class.abs
  7243     HOL.divide ~> HOL.divide_class.divide
  7244     0 ~> HOL.zero_class.zero
  7245     1 ~> HOL.one_class.one
  7246     op + ~> HOL.plus_class.plus
  7247     op - ~> HOL.minus_class.minus
  7248     uminus ~> HOL.minus_class.uminus
  7249     op * ~> HOL.times_class.times
  7250     op < ~> HOL.ord_class.less
  7251     op <= > HOL.ord_class.less_eq
  7252     Nat.power ~> Power.power_class.power
  7253     Nat.size ~> Nat.size_class.size
  7254     Numeral.number_of ~> Numeral.number_class.number_of
  7255     FixedPoint.Inf ~> Lattices.complete_lattice_class.Inf
  7256     FixedPoint.Sup ~> Lattices.complete_lattice_class.Sup
  7257     Orderings.min ~> Orderings.ord_class.min
  7258     Orderings.max ~> Orderings.ord_class.max
  7259     Divides.op div ~> Divides.div_class.div
  7260     Divides.op mod ~> Divides.div_class.mod
  7261     Divides.op dvd ~> Divides.div_class.dvd
  7262 
  7263 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Adaptions may be required in the following cases:
  7264 
  7265 a) User-defined constants using any of the names "plus", "minus",
  7266 "times", "less" or "less_eq". The standard syntax translations for
  7267 "+", "-" and "*" may go wrong.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific
  7268 names.
  7269 
  7270 b) Variables named "plus", "minus", "times", "less", "less_eq"
  7271 INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific names.
  7272 
  7273 c) Permutative equations (e.g. "a + b = b + a")
  7274 Since the change of names also changes the order of terms, permutative
  7275 rewrite rules may get applied in a different order. Experience shows
  7276 that this is rarely the case (only two adaptions in the whole Isabelle
  7277 distribution).  INCOMPATIBILITY: rewrite proofs
  7278 
  7279 d) ML code directly refering to constant names
  7280 This in general only affects hand-written proof tactics, simprocs and
  7281 so on.  INCOMPATIBILITY: grep your sourcecode and replace names.
  7282 Consider using @{const_name} antiquotation.
  7283 
  7284 * New class "default" with associated constant "default".
  7285 
  7286 * Function "sgn" is now overloaded and available on int, real, complex
  7287 (and other numeric types), using class "sgn".  Two possible defs of
  7288 sgn are given as equational assumptions in the classes sgn_if and
  7289 sgn_div_norm; ordered_idom now also inherits from sgn_if.
  7290 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7291 
  7292 * Locale "partial_order" now unified with class "order" (cf. theory
  7293 Orderings), added parameter "less".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7294 
  7295 * Renamings in classes "order" and "linorder": facts "refl", "trans" and
  7296 "cases" to "order_refl", "order_trans" and "linorder_cases", to avoid
  7297 clashes with HOL "refl" and "trans".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7298 
  7299 * Classes "order" and "linorder": potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to
  7300 changed order of proof goals in instance proofs.
  7301 
  7302 * The transitivity reasoner for partial and linear orders is set up
  7303 for classes "order" and "linorder".  Instances of the reasoner are available
  7304 in all contexts importing or interpreting the corresponding locales.
  7305 Method "order" invokes the reasoner separately; the reasoner
  7306 is also integrated with the Simplifier as a solver.  Diagnostic
  7307 command 'print_orders' shows the available instances of the reasoner
  7308 in the current context.
  7309 
  7310 * Localized monotonicity predicate in theory "Orderings"; integrated
  7311 lemmas max_of_mono and min_of_mono with this predicate.
  7312 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7313 
  7314 * Formulation of theorem "dense" changed slightly due to integration
  7315 with new class dense_linear_order.
  7316 
  7317 * Uniform lattice theory development in HOL.
  7318 
  7319     constants "meet" and "join" now named "inf" and "sup"
  7320     constant "Meet" now named "Inf"
  7321 
  7322     classes "meet_semilorder" and "join_semilorder" now named
  7323       "lower_semilattice" and "upper_semilattice"
  7324     class "lorder" now named "lattice"
  7325     class "comp_lat" now named "complete_lattice"
  7326 
  7327     Instantiation of lattice classes allows explicit definitions
  7328     for "inf" and "sup" operations (or "Inf" and "Sup" for complete lattices).
  7329 
  7330   INCOMPATIBILITY.  Theorem renames:

  7432 
  7433 * Added syntactic class "size"; overloaded constant "size" now has
  7434 type "'a::size ==> bool"
  7435 
  7436 * Internal reorganisation of `size' of datatypes: size theorems
  7437 "foo.size" are no longer subsumed by "foo.simps" (but are still
  7438 simplification rules by default!); theorems "prod.size" now named
  7439 "*.size".
  7440 
  7441 * Class "div" now inherits from class "times" rather than "type".
  7442 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7443 
  7444 * HOL/Finite_Set: "name-space" locales Lattice, Distrib_lattice,
  7445 Linorder etc.  have disappeared; operations defined in terms of
  7446 fold_set now are named Inf_fin, Sup_fin.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7447 
  7448 * HOL/Nat: neq0_conv no longer declared as iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7449 
  7450 * HOL-Word: New extensive library and type for generic, fixed size
  7451 machine words, with arithmetic, bit-wise, shifting and rotating
  7452 operations, reflection into int, nat, and bool lists, automation for
  7453 linear arithmetic (by automatic reflection into nat or int), including
  7454 lemmas on overflow and monotonicity.  Instantiated to all appropriate
  7455 arithmetic type classes, supporting automatic simplification of
  7456 numerals on all operations.
  7457 
  7458 * Library/Boolean_Algebra: locales for abstract boolean algebras.
  7459 
  7460 * Library/Numeral_Type: numbers as types, e.g. TYPE(32).
  7461 
  7462 * Code generator library theories:
  7463   - Code_Integer represents HOL integers by big integer literals in target
  7464     languages.
  7465   - Code_Char represents HOL characters by character literals in target
  7466     languages.
  7467   - Code_Char_chr like Code_Char, but also offers treatment of character
  7468     codes; includes Code_Integer.
  7469   - Executable_Set allows to generate code for finite sets using lists.
  7470   - Executable_Rat implements rational numbers as triples (sign, enumerator,
  7471     denominator).
  7472   - Executable_Real implements a subset of real numbers, namly those
  7473     representable by rational numbers.
  7474   - Efficient_Nat implements natural numbers by integers, which in general will
  7475     result in higher efficency; pattern matching with 0/Suc is eliminated;
  7476     includes Code_Integer.
  7477   - Code_Index provides an additional datatype index which is mapped to
  7478     target-language built-in integers.
  7479   - Code_Message provides an additional datatype message_string which is isomorphic to
  7480     strings; messages are mapped to target-language strings.
  7481 
  7482 * New package for inductive predicates
  7483 
  7484   An n-ary predicate p with m parameters z_1, ..., z_m can now be defined via
  7485 
  7486     inductive
  7487       p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7488       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7489     where
  7490       rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  7491     | ...
  7492 
  7493   with full support for type-inference, rather than
  7494 
  7495     consts s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7496 
  7497     abbreviation p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7498     where "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7499 
  7500     inductive "s z_1 ... z_m"
  7501     intros
  7502       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7503       ...
  7504 
  7505   For backward compatibility, there is a wrapper allowing inductive
  7506   sets to be defined with the new package via
  7507 
  7508     inductive_set
  7509       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7510       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7511     where
  7512       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7513     | ...
  7514 
  7515   or
  7516 
  7517     inductive_set
  7518       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7519       and p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7520       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7521     where
  7522       "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7523     | rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  7524     | ...
  7525 
  7526   if the additional syntax "p ..." is required.
  7527 
  7528   Numerous examples can be found in the subdirectories src/HOL/Auth,
  7529   src/HOL/Bali, src/HOL/Induct, and src/HOL/MicroJava.
  7530 
  7531   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  7532 
  7533   - Since declaration and definition of inductive sets or predicates
  7534     is no longer separated, abbreviations involving the newly
  7535     introduced sets or predicates must be specified together with the
  7536     introduction rules after the 'where' keyword (see above), rather
  7537     than before the actual inductive definition.
  7538 
  7539   - The variables in induction and elimination rules are now
  7540     quantified in the order of their occurrence in the introduction
  7541     rules, rather than in alphabetical order. Since this may break
  7542     some proofs, these proofs either have to be repaired, e.g. by
  7543     reordering the variables a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i} in Isar 'case'
  7544     statements of the form
  7545 
  7546       case (rule_i a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i})
  7547 
  7548     or the old order of quantification has to be restored by explicitly adding
  7549     meta-level quantifiers in the introduction rules, i.e.
  7550 
  7551       | rule_i: "!!a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i}. ... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_i_1 ... t_i_n"
  7552 
  7553   - The format of the elimination rules is now
  7554 
  7555       p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n ==>
  7556         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  7557         ==> ... ==> P
  7558 
  7559     for predicates and
  7560 
  7561       (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  7562         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  7563         ==> ... ==> P
  7564 
  7565     for sets rather than
  7566 
  7567       x : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  7568         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x = (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) ==> ... ==> P)
  7569         ==> ... ==> P
  7570 
  7571     This may require terms in goals to be expanded to n-tuples
  7572     (e.g. using case_tac or simplification with the split_paired_all
  7573     rule) before the above elimination rule is applicable.
  7574 
  7575   - The elimination or case analysis rules for (mutually) inductive
  7576     sets or predicates are now called "p_1.cases" ... "p_k.cases". The
  7577     list of rules "p_1_..._p_k.elims" is no longer available.
  7578 
  7579 * New package "function"/"fun" for general recursive functions,
  7580 supporting mutual and nested recursion, definitions in local contexts,
  7581 more general pattern matching and partiality. See HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy
  7582 for small examples, and the separate tutorial on the function
  7583 package. The old recdef "package" is still available as before, but
  7584 users are encouraged to use the new package.
  7585 
  7586 * Method "lexicographic_order" automatically synthesizes termination
  7587 relations as lexicographic combinations of size measures.
  7588 
  7589 * Case-expressions allow arbitrary constructor-patterns (including
  7590 "_") and take their order into account, like in functional
  7591 programming.  Internally, this is translated into nested
  7592 case-expressions; missing cases are added and mapped to the predefined
  7593 constant "undefined". In complicated cases printing may no longer show
  7594 the original input but the internal form. Lambda-abstractions allow
  7595 the same form of pattern matching: "% pat1 => e1 | ..." is an
  7596 abbreviation for "%x. case x of pat1 => e1 | ..." where x is a new
  7597 variable.
  7598 
  7599 * IntDef: The constant "int :: nat => int" has been removed; now "int"
  7600 is an abbreviation for "of_nat :: nat => int". The simplification
  7601 rules for "of_nat" have been changed to work like "int" did
  7602 previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  7603   - "of_nat (Suc m)" simplifies to "1 + of_nat m" instead of "of_nat m + 1"
  7604   - of_nat_diff and of_nat_mult are no longer default simp rules
  7605 
  7606 * Method "algebra" solves polynomial equations over (semi)rings using
  7607 Groebner bases. The (semi)ring structure is defined by locales and the
  7608 tool setup depends on that generic context. Installing the method for
  7609 a specific type involves instantiating the locale and possibly adding
  7610 declarations for computation on the coefficients.  The method is
  7611 already instantiated for natural numbers and for the axiomatic class
  7612 of idoms with numerals.  See also the paper by Chaieb and Wenzel at
  7613 CALCULEMUS 2007 for the general principles underlying this
  7614 architecture of context-aware proof-tools.
  7615 
  7616 * Method "ferrack" implements quantifier elimination over
  7617 special-purpose dense linear orders using locales (analogous to
  7618 "algebra"). The method is already installed for class
  7619 {ordered_field,recpower,number_ring} which subsumes real, hyperreal,
  7620 rat, etc.
  7621 
  7622 * Former constant "List.op @" now named "List.append".  Use ML
  7623 antiquotations @{const_name List.append} or @{term " ... @ ... "} to
  7624 circumvent possible incompatibilities when working on ML level.
  7625 
  7626 * primrec: missing cases mapped to "undefined" instead of "arbitrary".
  7627 
  7628 * New function listsum :: 'a list => 'a for arbitrary monoids.
  7629 Special syntax: "SUM x <- xs. f x" (and latex variants)
  7630 
  7631 * New syntax for Haskell-like list comprehension (input only), eg.
  7632 [(x,y). x <- xs, y <- ys, x ~= y], see also src/HOL/List.thy.
  7633 
  7634 * The special syntax for function "filter" has changed from [x :
  7635 xs. P] to [x <- xs. P] to avoid an ambiguity caused by list
  7636 comprehension syntax, and for uniformity.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7637 
  7638 * [a..b] is now defined for arbitrary linear orders.  It used to be
  7639 defined on nat only, as an abbreviation for [a..<Suc b]
  7640 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7641 
  7642 * Renamed lemma "set_take_whileD"  to "set_takeWhileD".
  7643 
  7644 * New functions "sorted" and "sort" in src/HOL/List.thy.
  7645 
  7646 * New lemma collection field_simps (an extension of ring_simps) for
  7647 manipulating (in)equations involving division. Multiplies with all
  7648 denominators that can be proved to be non-zero (in equations) or
  7649 positive/negative (in inequations).
  7650 
  7651 * Lemma collections ring_eq_simps, group_eq_simps and ring_distrib
  7652 have been improved and renamed to ring_simps, group_simps and
  7653 ring_distribs.  Removed lemmas field_xyz in theory Ring_and_Field
  7654 because they were subsumed by lemmas xyz.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7655 
  7656 * Theory Library/Commutative_Ring: switched from recdef to function
  7657 package; constants add, mul, pow now curried.  Infix syntax for
  7658 algebraic operations.
  7659 
  7660 * Dropped redundant lemma def_imp_eq in favor of meta_eq_to_obj_eq.
  7661 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7662 
  7663 * Dropped redundant lemma if_def2 in favor of if_bool_eq_conj.
  7664 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7665 
  7666 * HOL/records: generalised field-update to take a function on the
  7667 field rather than the new value: r(|A := x|) is translated to A_update
  7668 (K x) r The K-combinator that is internally used is called K_record.
  7669 INCOMPATIBILITY: Usage of the plain update functions has to be
  7670 adapted.
  7671 
  7672 * Class "semiring_0" now contains annihilation axioms x * 0 = 0 and 0
  7673 * x = 0, which are required for a semiring.  Richer structures do not
  7674 inherit from semiring_0 anymore, because this property is a theorem
  7675 there, not an axiom.  INCOMPATIBILITY: In instances of semiring_0,
  7676 there is more to prove, but this is mostly trivial.
  7677 
  7678 * Class "recpower" is generalized to arbitrary monoids, not just
  7679 commutative semirings.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to incorporate
  7680 commutativity or semiring properties additionally.
  7681 
  7682 * Constant "List.list_all2" in List.thy now uses authentic syntax.
  7683 INCOMPATIBILITY: translations containing list_all2 may go wrong,
  7684 better use 'abbreviation'.
  7685 
  7686 * Renamed constant "List.op mem" to "List.member".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7687 
  7688 * Numeral syntax: type 'bin' which was a mere type copy of 'int' has
  7689 been abandoned in favour of plain 'int'.  INCOMPATIBILITY --
  7690 significant changes for setting up numeral syntax for types:
  7691   - New constants Numeral.pred and Numeral.succ instead
  7692       of former Numeral.bin_pred and Numeral.bin_succ.
  7693   - Use integer operations instead of bin_add, bin_mult and so on.
  7694   - Numeral simplification theorems named Numeral.numeral_simps instead of Bin_simps.
  7695   - ML structure Bin_Simprocs now named Int_Numeral_Base_Simprocs.
  7696 
  7697 See src/HOL/Integ/IntArith.thy for an example setup.
  7698 
  7699 * Command 'normal_form' computes the normal form of a term that may
  7700 contain free variables.  For example ``normal_form "rev [a, b, c]"''
  7701 produces ``[b, c, a]'' (without proof).  This command is suitable for
  7702 heavy-duty computations because the functions are compiled to ML
  7703 first.  Correspondingly, a method "normalization" is provided.  See
  7704 further src/HOL/ex/NormalForm.thy and src/Tools/nbe.ML.
  7705 
  7706 * Alternative iff syntax "A <-> B" for equality on bool (with priority
  7707 25 like -->); output depends on the "iff" print_mode, the default is
  7708 "A = B" (with priority 50).
  7709 
  7710 * Relations less (<) and less_eq (<=) are also available on type bool.
  7711 Modified syntax to disallow nesting without explicit parentheses,
  7712 e.g. "(x < y) < z" or "x < (y < z)", but NOT "x < y < z".  Potential
  7713 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7714 
  7715 * "LEAST x:A. P" expands to "LEAST x. x:A & P" (input only).
  7716 
  7717 * Relation composition operator "op O" now has precedence 75 and binds
  7718 stronger than union and intersection. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7719 
  7720 * The old set interval syntax "{m..n(}" (and relatives) has been
  7721 removed.  Use "{m..<n}" (and relatives) instead.
  7722 
  7723 * In the context of the assumption "~(s = t)" the Simplifier rewrites
  7724 "t = s" to False (by simproc "neq").  INCOMPATIBILITY, consider using
  7725 ``declare [[simproc del: neq]]''.
  7726 
  7727 * Simplifier: "m dvd n" where m and n are numbers is evaluated to
  7728 True/False.
  7729 
  7730 * Theorem Cons_eq_map_conv no longer declared as "simp".
  7731 
  7732 * Theorem setsum_mult renamed to setsum_right_distrib.
  7733 
  7734 * Prefer ex1I over ex_ex1I in single-step reasoning, e.g. by the
  7735 ``rule'' method.
  7736 
  7737 * Reimplemented methods "sat" and "satx", with several improvements:
  7738 goals no longer need to be stated as "<prems> ==> False", equivalences
  7739 (i.e. "=" on type bool) are handled, variable names of the form
  7740 "lit_<n>" are no longer reserved, significant speedup.
  7741 
  7742 * Methods "sat" and "satx" can now replay MiniSat proof traces.
  7743 zChaff is still supported as well.
  7744 
  7745 * 'inductive' and 'datatype': provide projections of mutual rules,
  7746 bundled as foo_bar.inducts;
  7747 
  7748 * Library: moved theories Parity, GCD, Binomial, Infinite_Set to
  7749 Library.
  7750 
  7751 * Library: moved theory Accessible_Part to main HOL.
  7752 
  7753 * Library: added theory Coinductive_List of potentially infinite lists
  7754 as greatest fixed-point.
  7755 
  7756 * Library: added theory AssocList which implements (finite) maps as
  7757 association lists.
  7758 
  7759 * Method "evaluation" solves goals (i.e. a boolean expression)
  7760 efficiently by compiling it to ML.  The goal is "proved" (via an
  7761 oracle) if it evaluates to True.
  7762 
  7763 * Linear arithmetic now splits certain operators (e.g. min, max, abs)
  7764 also when invoked by the simplifier.  This results in the Simplifier
  7765 being more powerful on arithmetic goals.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7766 Configuration option fast_arith_split_limit=0 recovers the old
  7767 behavior.
  7768 
  7769 * Support for hex (0x20) and binary (0b1001) numerals.
  7770 
  7771 * New method: reify eqs (t), where eqs are equations for an
  7772 interpretation I :: 'a list => 'b => 'c and t::'c is an optional
  7773 parameter, computes a term s::'b and a list xs::'a list and proves the
  7774 theorem I xs s = t. This is also known as reification or quoting. The
  7775 resulting theorem is applied to the subgoal to substitute t with I xs
  7776 s.  If t is omitted, the subgoal itself is reified.
  7777 
  7778 * New method: reflection corr_thm eqs (t). The parameters eqs and (t)
  7779 are as explained above. corr_thm is a theorem for I vs (f t) = I vs t,
  7780 where f is supposed to be a computable function (in the sense of code
  7781 generattion). The method uses reify to compute s and xs as above then
  7782 applies corr_thm and uses normalization by evaluation to "prove" f s =
  7783 r and finally gets the theorem t = r, which is again applied to the
  7784 subgoal. An Example is available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy.
  7785 
  7786 * Reflection: Automatic reification now handels binding, an example is
  7787 available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy
  7788 
  7789 * HOL-Statespace: ``State Spaces: The Locale Way'' introduces a
  7790 command 'statespace' that is similar to 'record', but introduces an
  7791 abstract specification based on the locale infrastructure instead of
  7792 HOL types.  This leads to extra flexibility in composing state spaces,
  7793 in particular multiple inheritance and renaming of components.
  7794 
  7795 
  7796 *** HOL-Complex ***
  7797 
  7798 * Hyperreal: Functions root and sqrt are now defined on negative real
  7799 inputs so that root n (- x) = - root n x and sqrt (- x) = - sqrt x.
  7800 Nonnegativity side conditions have been removed from many lemmas, so
  7801 that more subgoals may now be solved by simplification; potential
  7802 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7803 
  7804 * Real: new type classes formalize real normed vector spaces and
  7805 algebras, using new overloaded constants scaleR :: real => 'a => 'a
  7806 and norm :: 'a => real.
  7807 
  7808 * Real: constant of_real :: real => 'a::real_algebra_1 injects from
  7809 reals into other types. The overloaded constant Reals :: 'a set is now
  7810 defined as range of_real; potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7811 
  7812 * Real: proper support for ML code generation, including 'quickcheck'.
  7813 Reals are implemented as arbitrary precision rationals.
  7814 
  7815 * Hyperreal: Several constants that previously worked only for the
  7816 reals have been generalized, so they now work over arbitrary vector
  7817 spaces. Type annotations may need to be added in some cases; potential
  7818 INCOMPATIBILITY.

  7835 
  7836 * Complex: Some complex-specific constants are now abbreviations for
  7837 overloaded ones: complex_of_real = of_real, cmod = norm, hcmod =
  7838 hnorm.  Other constants have been entirely removed in favor of the
  7839 polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  7852 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  7853 
  7854 * Formalisation of ideals and the quotient construction over rings.
  7855 
  7856 * Order and lattice theory no longer based on records.
  7857 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7858 
  7859 * Renamed lemmas least_carrier -> least_closed and greatest_carrier ->
  7860 greatest_closed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7861 
  7862 * Method algebra is now set up via an attribute.  For examples see
  7863 Ring.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY: the method is now weaker on combinations
  7864 of algebraic structures.
  7865 
  7866 * Renamed theory CRing to Ring.
  7867 
  7868 
  7869 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  7870 
  7871 * Substantial, yet incomplete support for nominal datatypes (binding
  7872 structures) based on HOL-Nominal logic.  See src/HOL/Nominal and
  7873 src/HOL/Nominal/Examples.  Prospective users should consult
  7874 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/nominal/
  7875 
  7876 
  7877 *** ML ***
  7878 
  7879 * ML basics: just one true type int, which coincides with IntInf.int
  7880 (even on SML/NJ).
  7881 
  7882 * ML within Isar: antiquotations allow to embed statically-checked
  7883 formal entities in the source, referring to the context available at
  7884 compile-time.  For example:
  7885 
  7886 ML {* @{sort "{zero,one}"} *}
  7887 ML {* @{typ "'a => 'b"} *}
  7888 ML {* @{term "%x. x"} *}
  7889 ML {* @{prop "x == y"} *}
  7890 ML {* @{ctyp "'a => 'b"} *}
  7891 ML {* @{cterm "%x. x"} *}
  7892 ML {* @{cprop "x == y"} *}
  7893 ML {* @{thm asm_rl} *}
  7894 ML {* @{thms asm_rl} *}
  7895 ML {* @{type_name c} *}
  7896 ML {* @{type_syntax c} *}
  7897 ML {* @{const_name c} *}
  7898 ML {* @{const_syntax c} *}
  7899 ML {* @{context} *}
  7900 ML {* @{theory} *}
  7901 ML {* @{theory Pure} *}
  7902 ML {* @{theory_ref} *}
  7903 ML {* @{theory_ref Pure} *}
  7904 ML {* @{simpset} *}
  7905 ML {* @{claset} *}
  7906 ML {* @{clasimpset} *}
  7907 
  7908 The same works for sources being ``used'' within an Isar context.
  7909 
  7910 * ML in Isar: improved error reporting; extra verbosity with
  7911 ML_Context.trace enabled.
  7912 
  7913 * Pure/General/table.ML: the join operations now works via exceptions
  7914 DUP/SAME instead of type option. This is simpler in simple cases, and
  7915 admits slightly more efficient complex applications.
  7916 
  7917 * Pure: 'advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) now
  7918 use Context.generic instead of just theory.
  7919 
  7920 * Pure: datatype Context.generic joins theory/Proof.context and
  7921 provides some facilities for code that works in either kind of
  7922 context, notably GenericDataFun for uniform theory and proof data.
  7923 
  7924 * Pure: simplified internal attribute type, which is now always
  7925 Context.generic * thm -> Context.generic * thm. Global (theory) vs.
  7926 local (Proof.context) attributes have been discontinued, while
  7927 minimizing code duplication. Thm.rule_attribute and
  7928 Thm.declaration_attribute build canonical attributes; see also structure
  7929 Context for further operations on Context.generic, notably
  7930 GenericDataFun. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt attribute type
  7931 declarations and definitions.
  7932 
  7933 * Context data interfaces (Theory/Proof/GenericDataFun): removed
  7934 name/print, uninitialized data defaults to ad-hoc copy of empty value,
  7935 init only required for impure data. INCOMPATIBILITY: empty really need
  7936 to be empty (no dependencies on theory content!)
  7937 
  7938 * Pure/kernel: consts certification ignores sort constraints given in
  7939 signature declarations. (This information is not relevant to the
  7940 logic, but only for type inference.) SIGNIFICANT INTERNAL CHANGE,
  7941 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7942 
  7943 * Pure: axiomatic type classes are now purely definitional, with
  7944 explicit proofs of class axioms and super class relations performed
  7945 internally. See Pure/axclass.ML for the main internal interfaces --
  7946 notably AxClass.define_class supercedes AxClass.add_axclass, and
  7947 AxClass.axiomatize_class/classrel/arity supersede
  7948 Sign.add_classes/classrel/arities.
  7949 
  7950 * Pure/Isar: Args/Attrib parsers operate on Context.generic --
  7951 global/local versions on theory vs. Proof.context have been
  7952 discontinued; Attrib.syntax and Method.syntax have been adapted
  7953 accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt parser expressions for
  7954 attributes, methods, etc.
  7955 
  7956 * Pure: several functions of signature "... -> theory -> theory * ..."
  7957 have been reoriented to "... -> theory -> ... * theory" in order to
  7958 allow natural usage in combination with the ||>, ||>>, |-> and
  7959 fold_map combinators.
  7960 
  7961 * Pure: official theorem names (closed derivations) and additional
  7962 comments (tags) are now strictly separate.  Name hints -- which are
  7963 maintained as tags -- may be attached any time without affecting the
  7964 derivation.
  7965 
  7966 * Pure: primitive rule lift_rule now takes goal cterm instead of an
  7967 actual goal state (thm).  Use Thm.lift_rule (Thm.cprem_of st i) to
  7968 achieve the old behaviour.
  7969 
  7970 * Pure: the "Goal" constant is now called "prop", supporting a
  7971 slightly more general idea of ``protecting'' meta-level rule
  7972 statements.
  7973 
  7974 * Pure: Logic.(un)varify only works in a global context, which is now
  7975 enforced instead of silently assumed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use
  7976 Logic.legacy_(un)varify as temporary workaround.
  7977 
  7978 * Pure: structure Name provides scalable operations for generating
  7979 internal variable names, notably Name.variants etc.  This replaces
  7980 some popular functions from term.ML:
  7981 
  7982   Term.variant		->  Name.variant
  7983   Term.variantlist	->  Name.variant_list
  7984   Term.invent_names	->  Name.invent_list
  7985 
  7986 Note that low-level renaming rarely occurs in new code -- operations
  7987 from structure Variable are used instead (see below).
  7988 
  7989 * Pure: structure Variable provides fundamental operations for proper
  7990 treatment of fixed/schematic variables in a context.  For example,
  7991 Variable.import introduces fixes for schematics of given facts and
  7992 Variable.export reverses the effect (up to renaming) -- this replaces
  7993 various freeze_thaw operations.
  7994 
  7995 * Pure: structure Goal provides simple interfaces for
  7996 init/conclude/finish and tactical prove operations (replacing former
  7997 Tactic.prove).  Goal.prove is the canonical way to prove results
  7998 within a given context; Goal.prove_global is a degraded version for
  7999 theory level goals, including a global Drule.standard.  Note that
  8000 OldGoals.prove_goalw_cterm has long been obsolete, since it is
  8001 ill-behaved in a local proof context (e.g. with local fixes/assumes or
  8002 in a locale context).
  8003 
  8004 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for parsing (Syntax.parse_term etc.)
  8005 and type checking (Syntax.check_term etc.), with common combinations
  8006 (Syntax.read_term etc.). These supersede former Sign.read_term etc.
  8007 which are considered legacy and await removal.
  8008 
  8009 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for type unchecking
  8010 (Syntax.uncheck_terms etc.) and unparsing (Syntax.unparse_term etc.),
  8011 with common combinations (Syntax.pretty_term, Syntax.string_of_term
  8012 etc.).  Former Sign.pretty_term, Sign.string_of_term etc. are still
  8013 available for convenience, but refer to the very same operations using
  8014 a mere theory instead of a full context.
  8015 
  8016 * Isar: simplified treatment of user-level errors, using exception
  8017 ERROR of string uniformly.  Function error now merely raises ERROR,
  8018 without any side effect on output channels.  The Isar toplevel takes
  8019 care of proper display of ERROR exceptions.  ML code may use plain
  8020 handle/can/try; cat_error may be used to concatenate errors like this:
  8021 
  8022   ... handle ERROR msg => cat_error msg "..."
  8023 
  8024 Toplevel ML code (run directly or through the Isar toplevel) may be
  8025 embedded into the Isar toplevel with exception display/debug like
  8026 this:
  8027 
  8028   Isar.toplevel (fn () => ...)
  8029 
  8030 INCOMPATIBILITY, removed special transform_error facilities, removed
  8031 obsolete variants of user-level exceptions (ERROR_MESSAGE,
  8032 Context.PROOF, ProofContext.CONTEXT, Proof.STATE, ProofHistory.FAIL)
  8033 -- use plain ERROR instead.
  8034 
  8035 * Isar: theory setup now has type (theory -> theory), instead of a
  8036 list.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use #> to compose setup functions.
  8037 
  8038 * Isar: ML toplevel pretty printer for type Proof.context, subject to
  8039 ProofContext.debug/verbose flags.
  8040 
  8041 * Isar: Toplevel.theory_to_proof admits transactions that modify the
  8042 theory before entering a proof state.  Transactions now always see a
  8043 quasi-functional intermediate checkpoint, both in interactive and
  8044 batch mode.
  8045 
  8046 * Isar: simplified interfaces for outer syntax.  Renamed
  8047 OuterSyntax.add_keywords to OuterSyntax.keywords.  Removed
  8048 OuterSyntax.add_parsers -- this functionality is now included in
  8049 OuterSyntax.command etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8050 
  8051 * Simplifier: the simpset of a running simplification process now
  8052 contains a proof context (cf. Simplifier.the_context), which is the
  8053 very context that the initial simpset has been retrieved from (by
  8054 simpset_of/local_simpset_of).  Consequently, all plug-in components
  8055 (solver, looper etc.) may depend on arbitrary proof data.
  8056 
  8057 * Simplifier.inherit_context inherits the proof context (plus the
  8058 local bounds) of the current simplification process; any simproc
  8059 etc. that calls the Simplifier recursively should do this!  Removed
  8060 former Simplifier.inherit_bounds, which is already included here --
  8061 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Tools based on low-level rewriting may even have to
  8062 specify an explicit context using Simplifier.context/theory_context.
  8063 
  8064 * Simplifier/Classical Reasoner: more abstract interfaces
  8065 change_simpset/claset for modifying the simpset/claset reference of a
  8066 theory; raw versions simpset/claset_ref etc. have been discontinued --
  8067 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8068 
  8069 * Provers: more generic wrt. syntax of object-logics, avoid hardwired
  8070 "Trueprop" etc.
  8071 
  8072 
  8073 *** System ***
  8074 
  8075 * settings: the default heap location within ISABELLE_HOME_USER now
  8076 includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER.  This simplifies use of multiple
  8077 Isabelle installations.
  8078 
  8079 * isabelle-process: option -S (secure mode) disables some critical
  8080 operations, notably runtime compilation and evaluation of ML source
  8081 code.
  8082 
  8083 * Basic Isabelle mode for jEdit, see Isabelle/lib/jedit/.
  8084 
  8085 * Support for parallel execution, using native multicore support of
  8086 Poly/ML 5.1.  The theory loader exploits parallelism when processing
  8087 independent theories, according to the given theory header
  8088 specifications. The maximum number of worker threads is specified via
  8089 usedir option -M or the "max-threads" setting in Proof General. A
  8090 speedup factor of 1.5--3.5 can be expected on a 4-core machine, and up
  8091 to 6 on a 8-core machine.  User-code needs to observe certain
  8092 guidelines for thread-safe programming, see appendix A in the Isar
  8093 Implementation manual.
  8094 
  8095 
  8096 
  8097 New in Isabelle2005 (October 2005)
  8098 ----------------------------------
  8099 
  8100 *** General ***
  8101 
  8102 * Theory headers: the new header syntax for Isar theories is
  8103 
  8104   theory <name>
  8105   imports <theory1> ... <theoryN>
  8106   uses <file1> ... <fileM>
  8107   begin
  8108 
  8109 where the 'uses' part is optional.  The previous syntax
  8110 
  8111   theory <name> = <theory1> + ... + <theoryN>:
  8112 
  8113 will disappear in the next release.  Use isatool fixheaders to convert
  8114 existing theory files.  Note that there is no change in ancient
  8115 non-Isar theories now, but these will disappear soon.
  8116 
  8117 * Theory loader: parent theories can now also be referred to via
  8118 relative and absolute paths.
  8119 
  8120 * Command 'find_theorems' searches for a list of criteria instead of a
  8121 list of constants. Known criteria are: intro, elim, dest, name:string,
  8122 simp:term, and any term. Criteria can be preceded by '-' to select
  8123 theorems that do not match. Intro, elim, dest select theorems that
  8124 match the current goal, name:s selects theorems whose fully qualified
  8125 name contain s, and simp:term selects all simplification rules whose
  8126 lhs match term.  Any other term is interpreted as pattern and selects
  8127 all theorems matching the pattern. Available in ProofGeneral under
  8128 'ProofGeneral -> Find Theorems' or C-c C-f.  Example:
  8129 
  8130   C-c C-f (100) "(_::nat) + _ + _" intro -name: "HOL."
  8131 
  8132 prints the last 100 theorems matching the pattern "(_::nat) + _ + _",
  8133 matching the current goal as introduction rule and not having "HOL."
  8134 in their name (i.e. not being defined in theory HOL).
  8135 
  8136 * Command 'thms_containing' has been discontinued in favour of
  8137 'find_theorems'; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8138 
  8139 * Communication with Proof General is now 8bit clean, which means that
  8140 Unicode text in UTF-8 encoding may be used within theory texts (both
  8141 formal and informal parts).  Cf. option -U of the Isabelle Proof
  8142 General interface.  Here are some simple examples (cf. src/HOL/ex):
  8143 
  8144   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Hebrew.html
  8145   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Chinese.html
  8146 
  8147 * Improved efficiency of the Simplifier and, to a lesser degree, the
  8148 Classical Reasoner.  Typical big applications run around 2 times
  8149 faster.
  8150 
  8151 
  8152 *** Document preparation ***
  8153 
  8154 * Commands 'display_drafts' and 'print_drafts' perform simple output
  8155 of raw sources.  Only those symbols that do not require additional
  8156 LaTeX packages (depending on comments in isabellesym.sty) are
  8157 displayed properly, everything else is left verbatim.  isatool display
  8158 and isatool print are used as front ends (these are subject to the
  8159 DVI/PDF_VIEWER and PRINT_COMMAND settings, respectively).
  8160 
  8161 * Command tags control specific markup of certain regions of text,
  8162 notably folding and hiding.  Predefined tags include "theory" (for
  8163 theory begin and end), "proof" for proof commands, and "ML" for
  8164 commands involving ML code; the additional tags "visible" and
  8165 "invisible" are unused by default.  Users may give explicit tag
  8166 specifications in the text, e.g. ''by %invisible (auto)''.  The
  8167 interpretation of tags is determined by the LaTeX job during document
  8168 preparation: see option -V of isatool usedir, or options -n and -t of
  8169 isatool document, or even the LaTeX macros \isakeeptag, \isafoldtag,
  8170 \isadroptag.
  8171 
  8172 Several document versions may be produced at the same time via isatool
  8173 usedir (the generated index.html will link all of them).  Typical
  8174 specifications include ''-V document=theory,proof,ML'' to present
  8175 theory/proof/ML parts faithfully, ''-V outline=/proof,/ML'' to fold
  8176 proof and ML commands, and ''-V mutilated=-theory,-proof,-ML'' to omit
  8177 these parts without any formal replacement text.  The Isabelle site
  8178 default settings produce ''document'' and ''outline'' versions as
  8179 specified above.
  8180 
  8181 * Several new antiquotations:
  8182 
  8183   @{term_type term} prints a term with its type annotated;
  8184 
  8185   @{typeof term} prints the type of a term;
  8186 
  8187   @{const const} is the same as @{term const}, but checks that the
  8188   argument is a known logical constant;
  8189 
  8190   @{term_style style term} and @{thm_style style thm} print a term or
  8191   theorem applying a "style" to it
  8192 
  8193   @{ML text}
  8194 
  8195 Predefined styles are 'lhs' and 'rhs' printing the lhs/rhs of
  8196 definitions, equations, inequations etc., 'concl' printing only the
  8197 conclusion of a meta-logical statement theorem, and 'prem1' .. 'prem19'
  8198 to print the specified premise.  TermStyle.add_style provides an ML
  8199 interface for introducing further styles.  See also the "LaTeX Sugar"
  8200 document practical applications.  The ML antiquotation prints
  8201 type-checked ML expressions verbatim.
  8202 
  8203 * Markup commands 'chapter', 'section', 'subsection', 'subsubsection',
  8204 and 'text' support optional locale specification '(in loc)', which
  8205 specifies the default context for interpreting antiquotations.  For
  8206 example: 'text (in lattice) {* @{thm inf_assoc}*}'.
  8207 
  8208 * Option 'locale=NAME' of antiquotations specifies an alternative
  8209 context interpreting the subsequent argument.  For example: @{thm
  8210 [locale=lattice] inf_assoc}.
  8211 
  8212 * Proper output of proof terms (@{prf ...} and @{full_prf ...}) within
  8213 a proof context.
  8214 
  8215 * Proper output of antiquotations for theory commands involving a
  8216 proof context (such as 'locale' or 'theorem (in loc) ...').
  8217 
  8218 * Delimiters of outer tokens (string etc.) now produce separate LaTeX
  8219 macros (\isachardoublequoteopen, isachardoublequoteclose etc.).
  8220 
  8221 * isatool usedir: new option -C (default true) controls whether option
  8222 -D should include a copy of the original document directory; -C false
  8223 prevents unwanted effects such as copying of administrative CVS data.
  8224 
  8225 
  8226 *** Pure ***
  8227 
  8228 * Considerably improved version of 'constdefs' command.  Now performs
  8229 automatic type-inference of declared constants; additional support for
  8230 local structure declarations (cf. locales and HOL records), see also
  8231 isar-ref manual.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to observe strictly
  8232 sequential dependencies of definitions within a single 'constdefs'
  8233 section; moreover, the declared name needs to be an identifier.  If
  8234 all fails, consider to fall back on 'consts' and 'defs' separately.
  8235 
  8236 * Improved indexed syntax and implicit structures.  First of all,
  8237 indexed syntax provides a notational device for subscripted
  8238 application, using the new syntax \<^bsub>term\<^esub> for arbitrary
  8239 expressions.  Secondly, in a local context with structure
  8240 declarations, number indexes \<^sub>n or the empty index (default
  8241 number 1) refer to a certain fixed variable implicitly; option
  8242 show_structs controls printing of implicit structures.  Typical
  8243 applications of these concepts involve record types and locales.
  8244 
  8245 * New command 'no_syntax' removes grammar declarations (and
  8246 translations) resulting from the given syntax specification, which is
  8247 interpreted in the same manner as for the 'syntax' command.
  8248 
  8249 * 'Advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) may depend
  8250 on the signature of the theory context being presently used for
  8251 parsing/printing, see also isar-ref manual.
  8252 
  8253 * Improved 'oracle' command provides a type-safe interface to turn an
  8254 ML expression of type theory -> T -> term into a primitive rule of
  8255 type theory -> T -> thm (i.e. the functionality of Thm.invoke_oracle
  8256 is already included here); see also FOL/ex/IffExample.thy;
  8257 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8258 
  8259 * axclass: name space prefix for class "c" is now "c_class" (was "c"
  8260 before); "cI" is no longer bound, use "c.intro" instead.
  8261 INCOMPATIBILITY.  This change avoids clashes of fact bindings for
  8262 axclasses vs. locales.
  8263 
  8264 * Improved internal renaming of symbolic identifiers -- attach primes
  8265 instead of base 26 numbers.
  8266 
  8267 * New flag show_question_marks controls printing of leading question
  8268 marks in schematic variable names.
  8269 
  8270 * In schematic variable names, *any* symbol following \<^isub> or
  8271 \<^isup> is now treated as part of the base name.  For example, the
  8272 following works without printing of awkward ".0" indexes:
  8273 
  8274   lemma "x\<^isub>1 = x\<^isub>2 ==> x\<^isub>2 = x\<^isub>1"
  8275     by simp
  8276 
  8277 * Inner syntax includes (*(*nested*) comments*).
  8278 
  8279 * Pretty printer now supports unbreakable blocks, specified in mixfix
  8280 annotations as "(00...)".
  8281 
  8282 * Clear separation of logical types and nonterminals, where the latter
  8283 may only occur in 'syntax' specifications or type abbreviations.
  8284 Before that distinction was only partially implemented via type class
  8285 "logic" vs. "{}".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare cases of improper
  8286 use of 'types'/'consts' instead of 'nonterminals'/'syntax'.  Some very
  8287 exotic syntax specifications may require further adaption
  8288 (e.g. Cube/Cube.thy).
  8289 
  8290 * Removed obsolete type class "logic", use the top sort {} instead.
  8291 Note that non-logical types should be declared as 'nonterminals'
  8292 rather than 'types'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for new object-logic
  8293 specifications.
  8294 
  8295 * Attributes 'induct' and 'cases': type or set names may now be
  8296 locally fixed variables as well.
  8297 
  8298 * Simplifier: can now control the depth to which conditional rewriting
  8299 is traced via the PG menu Isabelle -> Settings -> Trace Simp Depth
  8300 Limit.
  8301 
  8302 * Simplifier: simplification procedures may now take the current
  8303 simpset into account (cf. Simplifier.simproc(_i) / mk_simproc
  8304 interface), which is very useful for calling the Simplifier
  8305 recursively.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: the 'prems' argument of simprocs
  8306 is gone -- use prems_of_ss on the simpset instead.  Moreover, the
  8307 low-level mk_simproc no longer applies Logic.varify internally, to
  8308 allow for use in a context of fixed variables.
  8309 
  8310 * thin_tac now works even if the assumption being deleted contains !!
  8311 or ==>.  More generally, erule now works even if the major premise of
  8312 the elimination rule contains !! or ==>.
  8313 
  8314 * Method 'rules' has been renamed to 'iprover'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8315 
  8316 * Reorganized bootstrapping of the Pure theories; CPure is now derived
  8317 from Pure, which contains all common declarations already.  Both
  8318 theories are defined via plain Isabelle/Isar .thy files.
  8319 INCOMPATIBILITY: elements of CPure (such as the CPure.intro /
  8320 CPure.elim / CPure.dest attributes) now appear in the Pure name space;
  8321 use isatool fixcpure to adapt your theory and ML sources.
  8322 
  8323 * New syntax 'name(i-j, i-, i, ...)' for referring to specific
  8324 selections of theorems in named facts via index ranges.
  8325 
  8326 * 'print_theorems': in theory mode, really print the difference
  8327 wrt. the last state (works for interactive theory development only),
  8328 in proof mode print all local facts (cf. 'print_facts');
  8329 
  8330 * 'hide': option '(open)' hides only base names.
  8331 
  8332 * More efficient treatment of intermediate checkpoints in interactive
  8333 theory development.
  8334 
  8335 * Code generator is now invoked via code_module (incremental code
  8336 generation) and code_library (modular code generation, ML structures
  8337 for each theory).  INCOMPATIBILITY: new keywords 'file' and 'contains'
  8338 must be quoted when used as identifiers.
  8339 
  8340 * New 'value' command for reading, evaluating and printing terms using
  8341 the code generator.  INCOMPATIBILITY: command keyword 'value' must be
  8342 quoted when used as identifier.
  8343 
  8344 
  8345 *** Locales ***
  8346 
  8347 * New commands for the interpretation of locale expressions in
  8348 theories (1), locales (2) and proof contexts (3).  These generate
  8349 proof obligations from the expression specification.  After the
  8350 obligations have been discharged, theorems of the expression are added
  8351 to the theory, target locale or proof context.  The synopsis of the
  8352 commands is a follows:
  8353 
  8354   (1) interpretation expr inst
  8355   (2) interpretation target < expr
  8356   (3) interpret expr inst
  8357 
  8358 Interpretation in theories and proof contexts require a parameter
  8359 instantiation of terms from the current context.  This is applied to
  8360 specifications and theorems of the interpreted expression.
  8361 Interpretation in locales only permits parameter renaming through the
  8362 locale expression.  Interpretation is smart in that interpretations
  8363 that are active already do not occur in proof obligations, neither are
  8364 instantiated theorems stored in duplicate.  Use 'print_interps' to
  8365 inspect active interpretations of a particular locale.  For details,
  8366 see the Isar Reference manual.  Examples can be found in
  8367 HOL/Finite_Set.thy and HOL/Algebra/UnivPoly.thy.
  8368 
  8369 INCOMPATIBILITY: former 'instantiate' has been withdrawn, use
  8370 'interpret' instead.
  8371 
  8372 * New context element 'constrains' for adding type constraints to
  8373 parameters.
  8374 
  8375 * Context expressions: renaming of parameters with syntax
  8376 redeclaration.
  8377 
  8378 * Locale declaration: 'includes' disallowed.
  8379 
  8380 * Proper static binding of attribute syntax -- i.e. types / terms /
  8381 facts mentioned as arguments are always those of the locale definition
  8382 context, independently of the context of later invocations.  Moreover,
  8383 locale operations (renaming and type / term instantiation) are applied
  8384 to attribute arguments as expected.
  8385 
  8386 INCOMPATIBILITY of the ML interface: always pass Attrib.src instead of
  8387 actual attributes; rare situations may require Attrib.attribute to
  8388 embed those attributes into Attrib.src that lack concrete syntax.
  8389 Attribute implementations need to cooperate properly with the static
  8390 binding mechanism.  Basic parsers Args.XXX_typ/term/prop and
  8391 Attrib.XXX_thm etc. already do the right thing without further
  8392 intervention.  Only unusual applications -- such as "where" or "of"
  8393 (cf. src/Pure/Isar/attrib.ML), which process arguments depending both
  8394 on the context and the facts involved -- may have to assign parsed
  8395 values to argument tokens explicitly.
  8396 
  8397 * Changed parameter management in theorem generation for long goal
  8398 statements with 'includes'.  INCOMPATIBILITY: produces a different
  8399 theorem statement in rare situations.
  8400 
  8401 * Locale inspection command 'print_locale' omits notes elements.  Use
  8402 'print_locale!' to have them included in the output.
  8403 
  8404 
  8405 *** Provers ***
  8406 
  8407 * Provers/hypsubst.ML: improved version of the subst method, for
  8408 single-step rewriting: it now works in bound variable contexts. New is
  8409 'subst (asm)', for rewriting an assumption.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may
  8410 rewrite a different subterm than the original subst method, which is
  8411 still available as 'simplesubst'.
  8412 
  8413 * Provers/quasi.ML: new transitivity reasoners for transitivity only
  8414 and quasi orders.
  8415 
  8416 * Provers/trancl.ML: new transitivity reasoner for transitive and
  8417 reflexive-transitive closure of relations.
  8418 
  8419 * Provers/blast.ML: new reference depth_limit to make blast's depth
  8420 limit (previously hard-coded with a value of 20) user-definable.
  8421 
  8422 * Provers/simplifier.ML has been moved to Pure, where Simplifier.setup
  8423 is peformed already.  Object-logics merely need to finish their
  8424 initial simpset configuration as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8425 
  8426 
  8427 *** HOL ***
  8428 
  8429 * Symbolic syntax of Hilbert Choice Operator is now as follows:
  8430 
  8431   syntax (epsilon)
  8432     "_Eps" :: "[pttrn, bool] => 'a"    ("(3\<some>_./ _)" [0, 10] 10)
  8433 
  8434 The symbol \<some> is displayed as the alternative epsilon of LaTeX
  8435 and x-symbol; use option '-m epsilon' to get it actually printed.
  8436 Moreover, the mathematically important symbolic identifier \<epsilon>
  8437 becomes available as variable, constant etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  8438 
  8439 * "x > y" abbreviates "y < x" and "x >= y" abbreviates "y <= x".
  8440 Similarly for all quantifiers: "ALL x > y" etc.  The x-symbol for >=
  8441 is \<ge>. New transitivity rules have been added to HOL/Orderings.thy to
  8442 support corresponding Isar calculations.
  8443 
  8444 * "{x:A. P}" abbreviates "{x. x:A & P}", and similarly for "\<in>"
  8445 instead of ":".
  8446 
  8447 * theory SetInterval: changed the syntax for open intervals:
  8448 
  8449   Old       New
  8450   {..n(}    {..<n}
  8451   {)n..}    {n<..}
  8452   {m..n(}   {m..<n}
  8453   {)m..n}   {m<..n}
  8454   {)m..n(}  {m<..<n}
  8455 
  8456 The old syntax is still supported but will disappear in the next
  8457 release.  For conversion use the following Emacs search and replace
  8458 patterns (these are not perfect but work quite well):
  8459 
  8460   {)\([^\.]*\)\.\.  ->  {\1<\.\.}
  8461   \.\.\([^(}]*\)(}  ->  \.\.<\1}
  8462 
  8463 * Theory Commutative_Ring (in Library): method comm_ring for proving
  8464 equalities in commutative rings; method 'algebra' provides a generic
  8465 interface.
  8466 
  8467 * Theory Finite_Set: changed the syntax for 'setsum', summation over
  8468 finite sets: "setsum (%x. e) A", which used to be "\<Sum>x:A. e", is
  8469 now either "SUM x:A. e" or "\<Sum>x \<in> A. e". The bound variable can
  8470 be a tuple pattern.
  8471 
  8472 Some new syntax forms are available:
  8473 
  8474   "\<Sum>x | P. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {x. P}"
  8475   "\<Sum>x = a..b. e"   for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..b}"
  8476   "\<Sum>x = a..<b. e"  for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..<b}"
  8477   "\<Sum>x < k. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {..<k}"
  8478 
  8479 The latter form "\<Sum>x < k. e" used to be based on a separate
  8480 function "Summation", which has been discontinued.
  8481 
  8482 * theory Finite_Set: in structured induction proofs, the insert case
  8483 is now 'case (insert x F)' instead of the old counterintuitive 'case
  8484 (insert F x)'.
  8485 
  8486 * The 'refute' command has been extended to support a much larger
  8487 fragment of HOL, including axiomatic type classes, constdefs and
  8488 typedefs, inductive datatypes and recursion.
  8489 
  8490 * New tactics 'sat' and 'satx' to prove propositional tautologies.
  8491 Requires zChaff with proof generation to be installed.  See
  8492 HOL/ex/SAT_Examples.thy for examples.
  8493 
  8494 * Datatype induction via method 'induct' now preserves the name of the
  8495 induction variable. For example, when proving P(xs::'a list) by
  8496 induction on xs, the induction step is now P(xs) ==> P(a#xs) rather
  8497 than P(list) ==> P(a#list) as previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  8498 in unstructured proof scripts.
  8499 
  8500 * Reworked implementation of records.  Improved scalability for
  8501 records with many fields, avoiding performance problems for type
  8502 inference. Records are no longer composed of nested field types, but
  8503 of nested extension types. Therefore the record type only grows linear
  8504 in the number of extensions and not in the number of fields.  The
  8505 top-level (users) view on records is preserved.  Potential
  8506 INCOMPATIBILITY only in strange cases, where the theory depends on the
  8507 old record representation. The type generated for a record is called
  8508 <record_name>_ext_type.
  8509 
  8510 Flag record_quick_and_dirty_sensitive can be enabled to skip the
  8511 proofs triggered by a record definition or a simproc (if
  8512 quick_and_dirty is enabled).  Definitions of large records can take
  8513 quite long.
  8514 
  8515 New simproc record_upd_simproc for simplification of multiple record
  8516 updates enabled by default.  Moreover, trivial updates are also
  8517 removed: r(|x := x r|) = r.  INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break
  8518 occasionally, since simplification is more powerful by default.
  8519 
  8520 * typedef: proper support for polymorphic sets, which contain extra
  8521 type-variables in the term.
  8522 
  8523 * Simplifier: automatically reasons about transitivity chains
  8524 involving "trancl" (r^+) and "rtrancl" (r^*) by setting up tactics
  8525 provided by Provers/trancl.ML as additional solvers.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  8526 old proofs break occasionally as simplification may now solve more
  8527 goals than previously.
  8528 
  8529 * Simplifier: converts x <= y into x = y if assumption y <= x is
  8530 present.  Works for all partial orders (class "order"), in particular
  8531 numbers and sets.  For linear orders (e.g. numbers) it treats ~ x < y
  8532 just like y <= x.
  8533 
  8534 * Simplifier: new simproc for "let x = a in f x".  If a is a free or
  8535 bound variable or a constant then the let is unfolded.  Otherwise
  8536 first a is simplified to b, and then f b is simplified to g. If
  8537 possible we abstract b from g arriving at "let x = b in h x",
  8538 otherwise we unfold the let and arrive at g.  The simproc can be
  8539 enabled/disabled by the reference use_let_simproc.  Potential
  8540 INCOMPATIBILITY since simplification is more powerful by default.
  8541 
  8542 * Classical reasoning: the meson method now accepts theorems as arguments.
  8543 
  8544 * Prover support: pre-release of the Isabelle-ATP linkup, which runs background
  8545 jobs to provide advice on the provability of subgoals.
  8546 
  8547 * Theory OrderedGroup and Ring_and_Field: various additions and
  8548 improvements to faciliate calculations involving equalities and
  8549 inequalities.
  8550 
  8551 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  8552 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8553 
  8554   abs_eq             now named abs_of_nonneg
  8555   abs_of_ge_0        now named abs_of_nonneg
  8556   abs_minus_eq       now named abs_of_nonpos
  8557   imp_abs_id         now named abs_of_nonneg
  8558   imp_abs_neg_id     now named abs_of_nonpos
  8559   mult_pos           now named mult_pos_pos
  8560   mult_pos_le        now named mult_nonneg_nonneg
  8561   mult_pos_neg_le    now named mult_nonneg_nonpos
  8562   mult_pos_neg2_le   now named mult_nonneg_nonpos2
  8563   mult_neg           now named mult_neg_neg
  8564   mult_neg_le        now named mult_nonpos_nonpos
  8565 
  8566 * The following lemmas in Ring_and_Field have been added to the simplifier:
  8567 
  8568      zero_le_square
  8569      not_square_less_zero
  8570 
  8571   The following lemmas have been deleted from Real/RealPow:
  8572 
  8573      realpow_zero_zero
  8574      realpow_two
  8575      realpow_less
  8576      zero_le_power
  8577      realpow_two_le
  8578      abs_realpow_two
  8579      realpow_two_abs
  8580 
  8581 * Theory Parity: added rules for simplifying exponents.
  8582 
  8583 * Theory List:
  8584 
  8585 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  8586 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8587 
  8588   list_all_Nil       now named list_all.simps(1)
  8589   list_all_Cons      now named list_all.simps(2)
  8590   list_all_conv      now named list_all_iff
  8591   set_mem_eq         now named mem_iff
  8592 
  8593 * Theories SetsAndFunctions and BigO (see HOL/Library) support
  8594 asymptotic "big O" calculations.  See the notes in BigO.thy.
  8595 
  8596 
  8597 *** HOL-Complex ***
  8598 
  8599 * Theory RealDef: better support for embedding natural numbers and
  8600 integers in the reals.
  8601 
  8602 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  8603 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8604 
  8605   exp_ge_add_one_self  now requires no hypotheses
  8606   real_of_int_add      reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8607   real_of_int_minus    reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8608   real_of_int_diff     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8609   real_of_int_mult     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8610 
  8611 * Theory RComplete: expanded support for floor and ceiling functions.
  8612 
  8613 * Theory Ln is new, with properties of the natural logarithm
  8614 
  8615 * Hyperreal: There is a new type constructor "star" for making
  8616 nonstandard types.  The old type names are now type synonyms:
  8617 
  8618   hypreal = real star
  8619   hypnat = nat star
  8620   hcomplex = complex star
  8621 
  8622 * Hyperreal: Many groups of similarly-defined constants have been
  8623 replaced by polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8624 
  8625   star_of <-- hypreal_of_real, hypnat_of_nat, hcomplex_of_complex

  8637   InternalFuns <-- InternalNatFuns, InternalNatFuns2, Internal{C,RC,CR}Funs
  8638 
  8639 * Hyperreal: Many type-specific theorems have been removed in favor of
  8640 theorems specific to various axiomatic type classes (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8641 
  8642   add_commute <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_commute

  8666 
  8667 * Hyperreal: Separate theorems having to do with type-specific
  8668 versions of constants have been merged into theorems that apply to the
  8669 new polymorphic constants (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8670 
  8671   STAR_UNIV_set <-- {STAR_real,NatStar_real,STARC_complex}_set

  8759 
  8760 * Hyperreal: new method "transfer" that implements the transfer
  8761 principle of nonstandard analysis. With a subgoal that mentions
  8762 nonstandard types like "'a star", the command "apply transfer"
  8763 replaces it with an equivalent one that mentions only standard types.
  8764 To be successful, all free variables must have standard types; non-
  8765 standard variables must have explicit universal quantifiers.
  8766 
  8767 * Hyperreal: A theory of Taylor series.
  8768 
  8769 
  8770 *** HOLCF ***
  8771 
  8772 * Discontinued special version of 'constdefs' (which used to support
  8773 continuous functions) in favor of the general Pure one with full
  8774 type-inference.
  8775 
  8776 * New simplification procedure for solving continuity conditions; it
  8777 is much faster on terms with many nested lambda abstractions (cubic
  8778 instead of exponential time).
  8779 
  8780 * New syntax for domain package: selector names are now optional.
  8781 Parentheses should be omitted unless argument is lazy, for example:
  8782 
  8783   domain 'a stream = cons "'a" (lazy "'a stream")
  8784 
  8785 * New command 'fixrec' for defining recursive functions with pattern
  8786 matching; defining multiple functions with mutual recursion is also
  8787 supported.  Patterns may include the constants cpair, spair, up, sinl,
  8788 sinr, or any data constructor defined by the domain package. The given
  8789 equations are proven as rewrite rules. See HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  8790 syntax and examples.
  8791 
  8792 * New commands 'cpodef' and 'pcpodef' for defining predicate subtypes
  8793 of cpo and pcpo types. Syntax is exactly like the 'typedef' command,
  8794 but the proof obligation additionally includes an admissibility
  8795 requirement. The packages generate instances of class cpo or pcpo,
  8796 with continuity and strictness theorems for Rep and Abs.
  8797 
  8798 * HOLCF: Many theorems have been renamed according to a more standard naming
  8799 scheme (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8800 
  8801   foo_inject:  "foo$x = foo$y ==> x = y"
  8802   foo_eq:      "(foo$x = foo$y) = (x = y)"
  8803   foo_less:    "(foo$x << foo$y) = (x << y)"
  8804   foo_strict:  "foo$UU = UU"
  8805   foo_defined: "... ==> foo$x ~= UU"
  8806   foo_defined_iff: "(foo$x = UU) = (x = UU)"
  8807 
  8808 
  8809 *** ZF ***
  8810 
  8811 * ZF/ex: theories Group and Ring provide examples in abstract algebra,
  8812 including the First Isomorphism Theorem (on quotienting by the kernel
  8813 of a homomorphism).
  8814 
  8815 * ZF/Simplifier: install second copy of type solver that actually
  8816 makes use of TC rules declared to Isar proof contexts (or locales);
  8817 the old version is still required for ML proof scripts.
  8818 
  8819 
  8820 *** Cube ***
  8821 
  8822 * Converted to Isar theory format; use locales instead of axiomatic
  8823 theories.
  8824 
  8825 
  8826 *** ML ***
  8827 
  8828 * Pure/library.ML: added ##>, ##>>, #>> -- higher-order counterparts
  8829 for ||>, ||>>, |>>,
  8830 
  8831 * Pure/library.ML no longer defines its own option datatype, but uses
  8832 that of the SML basis, which has constructors NONE and SOME instead of
  8833 None and Some, as well as exception Option.Option instead of OPTION.
  8834 The functions the, if_none, is_some, is_none have been adapted
  8835 accordingly, while Option.map replaces apsome.
  8836 
  8837 * Pure/library.ML: the exception LIST has been given up in favour of
  8838 the standard exceptions Empty and Subscript, as well as
  8839 Library.UnequalLengths.  Function like Library.hd and Library.tl are
  8840 superceded by the standard hd and tl functions etc.
  8841 
  8842 A number of basic list functions are no longer exported to the ML
  8843 toplevel, as they are variants of predefined functions.  The following
  8844 suggests how one can translate existing code:
  8845 
  8846     rev_append xs ys = List.revAppend (xs, ys)
  8847     nth_elem (i, xs) = List.nth (xs, i)
  8848     last_elem xs = List.last xs
  8849     flat xss = List.concat xss
  8850     seq fs = List.app fs
  8851     partition P xs = List.partition P xs
  8852     mapfilter f xs = List.mapPartial f xs
  8853 
  8854 * Pure/library.ML: several combinators for linear functional
  8855 transformations, notably reverse application and composition:
  8856 
  8857   x |> f                f #> g
  8858   (x, y) |-> f          f #-> g
  8859 
  8860 * Pure/library.ML: introduced/changed precedence of infix operators:
  8861 
  8862   infix 1 |> |-> ||> ||>> |>> |>>> #> #->;
  8863   infix 2 ?;
  8864   infix 3 o oo ooo oooo;
  8865   infix 4 ~~ upto downto;
  8866 
  8867 Maybe INCOMPATIBILITY when any of those is used in conjunction with other
  8868 infix operators.
  8869 
  8870 * Pure/library.ML: natural list combinators fold, fold_rev, and
  8871 fold_map support linear functional transformations and nesting.  For
  8872 example:
  8873 
  8874   fold f [x1, ..., xN] y =
  8875     y |> f x1 |> ... |> f xN
  8876 
  8877   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] y =
  8878     y |> fold f xs1 |> ... |> fold f xsN
  8879 
  8880   fold f [x1, ..., xN] =
  8881     f x1 #> ... #> f xN
  8882 
  8883   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] =
  8884     fold f xs1 #> ... #> fold f xsN
  8885 
  8886 * Pure/library.ML: the following selectors on type 'a option are
  8887 available:
  8888 
  8889   the:               'a option -> 'a  (*partial*)
  8890   these:             'a option -> 'a  where 'a = 'b list
  8891   the_default: 'a -> 'a option -> 'a
  8892   the_list:          'a option -> 'a list
  8893 
  8894 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  8895 basic operations for association lists, following natural argument
  8896 order; moreover the explicit equality predicate passed here avoids
  8897 potentially expensive polymorphic runtime equality checks.
  8898 The old functions may be expressed as follows:
  8899 
  8900   assoc = uncurry (AList.lookup (op =))
  8901   assocs = these oo AList.lookup (op =)
  8902   overwrite = uncurry (AList.update (op =)) o swap
  8903 
  8904 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  8905 
  8906   val make: ('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> ('a * 'b) list
  8907   val find: ('a * 'b -> bool) -> ('c * 'b) list -> 'a -> 'c list
  8908 
  8909 replacing make_keylist and keyfilter (occassionally used)
  8910 Naive rewrites:
  8911 
  8912   make_keylist = AList.make
  8913   keyfilter = AList.find (op =)
  8914 
  8915 * eq_fst and eq_snd now take explicit equality parameter, thus
  8916   avoiding eqtypes. Naive rewrites:
  8917 
  8918     eq_fst = eq_fst (op =)
  8919     eq_snd = eq_snd (op =)
  8920 
  8921 * Removed deprecated apl and apr (rarely used).
  8922   Naive rewrites:
  8923 
  8924     apl (n, op) =>>= curry op n
  8925     apr (op, m) =>>= fn n => op (n, m)
  8926 
  8927 * Pure/General: structure OrdList (cf. Pure/General/ord_list.ML)
  8928 provides a reasonably efficient light-weight implementation of sets as
  8929 lists.
  8930 
  8931 * Pure/General: generic tables (cf. Pure/General/table.ML) provide a
  8932 few new operations; existing lookup and update are now curried to
  8933 follow natural argument order (for use with fold etc.);
  8934 INCOMPATIBILITY, use (uncurry Symtab.lookup) etc. as last resort.
  8935 
  8936 * Pure/General: output via the Isabelle channels of
  8937 writeln/warning/error etc. is now passed through Output.output, with a
  8938 hook for arbitrary transformations depending on the print_mode
  8939 (cf. Output.add_mode -- the first active mode that provides a output
  8940 function wins).  Already formatted output may be embedded into further
  8941 text via Output.raw; the result of Pretty.string_of/str_of and derived
  8942 functions (string_of_term/cterm/thm etc.) is already marked raw to
  8943 accommodate easy composition of diagnostic messages etc.  Programmers
  8944 rarely need to care about Output.output or Output.raw at all, with
  8945 some notable exceptions: Output.output is required when bypassing the
  8946 standard channels (writeln etc.), or in token translations to produce
  8947 properly formatted results; Output.raw is required when capturing
  8948 already output material that will eventually be presented to the user
  8949 a second time.  For the default print mode, both Output.output and
  8950 Output.raw have no effect.
  8951 
  8952 * Pure/General: Output.time_accumulator NAME creates an operator ('a
  8953 -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'b to measure runtime and count invocations; the
  8954 cumulative results are displayed at the end of a batch session.
  8955 
  8956 * Pure/General: File.sysify_path and File.quote_sysify path have been
  8957 replaced by File.platform_path and File.shell_path (with appropriate
  8958 hooks).  This provides a clean interface for unusual systems where the
  8959 internal and external process view of file names are different.
  8960 
  8961 * Pure: more efficient orders for basic syntactic entities: added
  8962 fast_string_ord, fast_indexname_ord, fast_term_ord; changed sort_ord
  8963 and typ_ord to use fast_string_ord and fast_indexname_ord (term_ord is
  8964 NOT affected); structures Symtab, Vartab, Typtab, Termtab use the fast
  8965 orders now -- potential INCOMPATIBILITY for code that depends on a
  8966 particular order for Symtab.keys, Symtab.dest, etc. (consider using
  8967 Library.sort_strings on result).
  8968 
  8969 * Pure/term.ML: combinators fold_atyps, fold_aterms, fold_term_types,
  8970 fold_types traverse types/terms from left to right, observing natural
  8971 argument order.  Supercedes previous foldl_XXX versions, add_frees,
  8972 add_vars etc. have been adapted as well: INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8973 
  8974 * Pure: name spaces have been refined, with significant changes of the
  8975 internal interfaces -- INCOMPATIBILITY.  Renamed cond_extern(_table)
  8976 to extern(_table).  The plain name entry path is superceded by a
  8977 general 'naming' context, which also includes the 'policy' to produce
  8978 a fully qualified name and external accesses of a fully qualified
  8979 name; NameSpace.extend is superceded by context dependent
  8980 Sign.declare_name.  Several theory and proof context operations modify
  8981 the naming context.  Especially note Theory.restore_naming and
  8982 ProofContext.restore_naming to get back to a sane state; note that
  8983 Theory.add_path is no longer sufficient to recover from
  8984 Theory.absolute_path in particular.
  8985 
  8986 * Pure: new flags short_names (default false) and unique_names
  8987 (default true) for controlling output of qualified names.  If
  8988 short_names is set, names are printed unqualified.  If unique_names is
  8989 reset, the name prefix is reduced to the minimum required to achieve
  8990 the original result when interning again, even if there is an overlap
  8991 with earlier declarations.
  8992 
  8993 * Pure/TheoryDataFun: change of the argument structure; 'prep_ext' is
  8994 now 'extend', and 'merge' gets an additional Pretty.pp argument
  8995 (useful for printing error messages).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8996 
  8997 * Pure: major reorganization of the theory context.  Type Sign.sg and
  8998 Theory.theory are now identified, referring to the universal
  8999 Context.theory (see Pure/context.ML).  Actual signature and theory
  9000 content is managed as theory data.  The old code and interfaces were
  9001 spread over many files and structures; the new arrangement introduces
  9002 considerable INCOMPATIBILITY to gain more clarity:
  9003 
  9004   Context -- theory management operations (name, identity, inclusion,
  9005     parents, ancestors, merge, etc.), plus generic theory data;
  9006 
  9007   Sign -- logical signature and syntax operations (declaring consts,
  9008     types, etc.), plus certify/read for common entities;
  9009 
  9010   Theory -- logical theory operations (stating axioms, definitions,
  9011     oracles), plus a copy of logical signature operations (consts,
  9012     types, etc.); also a few basic management operations (Theory.copy,
  9013     Theory.merge, etc.)
  9014 
  9015 The most basic sign_of operations (Theory.sign_of, Thm.sign_of_thm
  9016 etc.) as well as the sign field in Thm.rep_thm etc. have been retained
  9017 for convenience -- they merely return the theory.
  9018 
  9019 * Pure: type Type.tsig is superceded by theory in most interfaces.
  9020 
  9021 * Pure: the Isar proof context type is already defined early in Pure
  9022 as Context.proof (note that ProofContext.context and Proof.context are
  9023 aliases, where the latter is the preferred name).  This enables other
  9024 Isabelle components to refer to that type even before Isar is present.
  9025 
  9026 * Pure/sign/theory: discontinued named name spaces (i.e. classK,
  9027 typeK, constK, axiomK, oracleK), but provide explicit operations for
  9028 any of these kinds.  For example, Sign.intern typeK is now
  9029 Sign.intern_type, Theory.hide_space Sign.typeK is now
  9030 Theory.hide_types.  Also note that former
  9031 Theory.hide_classes/types/consts are now
  9032 Theory.hide_classes_i/types_i/consts_i, while the non '_i' versions
  9033 internalize their arguments!  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  9034 
  9035 * Pure: get_thm interface (of PureThy and ProofContext) expects
  9036 datatype thmref (with constructors Name and NameSelection) instead of
  9037 plain string -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9038 
  9039 * Pure: cases produced by proof methods specify options, where NONE
  9040 means to remove case bindings -- INCOMPATIBILITY in
  9041 (RAW_)METHOD_CASES.
  9042 
  9043 * Pure: the following operations retrieve axioms or theorems from a
  9044 theory node or theory hierarchy, respectively:
  9045 
  9046   Theory.axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  9047   Theory.all_axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  9048   PureThy.thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  9049   PureThy.all_thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  9050 
  9051 * Pure: print_tac now outputs the goal through the trace channel.
  9052 
  9053 * Isar toplevel: improved diagnostics, mostly for Poly/ML only.
  9054 Reference Toplevel.debug (default false) controls detailed printing
  9055 and tracing of low-level exceptions; Toplevel.profiling (default 0)
  9056 controls execution profiling -- set to 1 for time and 2 for space
  9057 (both increase the runtime).
  9058 
  9059 * Isar session: The initial use of ROOT.ML is now always timed,
  9060 i.e. the log will show the actual process times, in contrast to the
  9061 elapsed wall-clock time that the outer shell wrapper produces.
  9062 
  9063 * Simplifier: improved handling of bound variables (nameless
  9064 representation, avoid allocating new strings).  Simprocs that invoke
  9065 the Simplifier recursively should use Simplifier.inherit_bounds to
  9066 avoid local name clashes.  Failure to do so produces warnings
  9067 "Simplifier: renamed bound variable ..."; set Simplifier.debug_bounds
  9068 for further details.
  9069 
  9070 * ML functions legacy_bindings and use_legacy_bindings produce ML fact
  9071 bindings for all theorems stored within a given theory; this may help
  9072 in porting non-Isar theories to Isar ones, while keeping ML proof
  9073 scripts for the time being.
  9074 
  9075 * ML operator HTML.with_charset specifies the charset begin used for
  9076 generated HTML files.  For example:
  9077 
  9078   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Hebrew";
  9079   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Chinese";
  9080 
  9081 
  9082 *** System ***
  9083 
  9084 * Allow symlinks to all proper Isabelle executables (Isabelle,
  9085 isabelle, isatool etc.).
  9086 
  9087 * ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT setting specifies preferred document format (for
  9088 isatool doc, isatool mkdir, display_drafts etc.).
  9089 
  9090 * isatool usedir: option -f allows specification of the ML file to be
  9091 used by Isabelle; default is ROOT.ML.
  9092 
  9093 * New isatool version outputs the version identifier of the Isabelle
  9094 distribution being used.
  9095 
  9096 * HOL: new isatool dimacs2hol converts files in DIMACS CNF format
  9097 (containing Boolean satisfiability problems) into Isabelle/HOL
  9098 theories.

  9104 
  9105 *** General ***
  9106 
  9107 * Provers/order.ML:  new efficient reasoner for partial and linear orders.
  9108   Replaces linorder.ML.
  9109 
  9110 * Pure: Greek letters (except small lambda, \<lambda>), as well as Gothic
  9111   (\<aa>...\<zz>\<AA>...\<ZZ>), calligraphic (\<A>...\<Z>), and Euler
  9112   (\<a>...\<z>), are now considered normal letters, and can therefore
  9113   be used anywhere where an ASCII letter (a...zA...Z) has until
  9114   now. COMPATIBILITY: This obviously changes the parsing of some
  9115   terms, especially where a symbol has been used as a binder, say
  9116   '\<Pi>x. ...', which is now a type error since \<Pi>x will be parsed
  9117   as an identifier.  Fix it by inserting a space around former
  9118   symbols.  Call 'isatool fixgreek' to try to fix parsing errors in
  9119   existing theory and ML files.
  9120 
  9121 * Pure: Macintosh and Windows line-breaks are now allowed in theory files.
  9122 
  9123 * Pure: single letter sub/superscripts (\<^isub> and \<^isup>) are now
  9124   allowed in identifiers. Similar to Greek letters \<^isub> is now considered
  9125   a normal (but invisible) letter. For multiple letter subscripts repeat
  9126   \<^isub> like this: x\<^isub>1\<^isub>2.
  9127 
  9128 * Pure: There are now sub-/superscripts that can span more than one
  9129   character. Text between \<^bsub> and \<^esub> is set in subscript in
  9130   ProofGeneral and LaTeX, text between \<^bsup> and \<^esup> in
  9131   superscript. The new control characters are not identifier parts.
  9132 
  9133 * Pure: Control-symbols of the form \<^raw:...> will literally print the
  9134   content of "..." to the latex file instead of \isacntrl... . The "..."
  9135   may consist of any printable characters excluding the end bracket >.
  9136 
  9137 * Pure: Using new Isar command "finalconsts" (or the ML functions
  9138   Theory.add_finals or Theory.add_finals_i) it is now possible to
  9139   declare constants "final", which prevents their being given a definition
  9140   later.  It is useful for constants whose behaviour is fixed axiomatically
  9141   rather than definitionally, such as the meta-logic connectives.
  9142 
  9143 * Pure: 'instance' now handles general arities with general sorts
  9144   (i.e. intersections of classes),
  9145 
  9146 * Presentation: generated HTML now uses a CSS style sheet to make layout
  9147   (somewhat) independent of content. It is copied from lib/html/isabelle.css.
  9148   It can be changed to alter the colors/layout of generated pages.
  9149 
  9150 
  9151 *** Isar ***
  9152 
  9153 * Tactic emulation methods rule_tac, erule_tac, drule_tac, frule_tac,
  9154   cut_tac, subgoal_tac and thin_tac:
  9155   - Now understand static (Isar) contexts.  As a consequence, users of Isar
  9156     locales are no longer forced to write Isar proof scripts.
  9157     For details see Isar Reference Manual, paragraph 4.3.2: Further tactic
  9158     emulations.
  9159   - INCOMPATIBILITY: names of variables to be instantiated may no
  9160     longer be enclosed in quotes.  Instead, precede variable name with `?'.
  9161     This is consistent with the instantiation attribute "where".
  9162 
  9163 * Attributes "where" and "of":
  9164   - Now take type variables of instantiated theorem into account when reading
  9165     the instantiation string.  This fixes a bug that caused instantiated
  9166     theorems to have too special types in some circumstances.
  9167   - "where" permits explicit instantiations of type variables.
  9168 
  9169 * Calculation commands "moreover" and "also" no longer interfere with
  9170   current facts ("this"), admitting arbitrary combinations with "then"
  9171   and derived forms.
  9172 
  9173 * Locales:
  9174   - Goal statements involving the context element "includes" no longer
  9175     generate theorems with internal delta predicates (those ending on
  9176     "_axioms") in the premise.
  9177     Resolve particular premise with <locale>.intro to obtain old form.
  9178   - Fixed bug in type inference ("unify_frozen") that prevented mix of target
  9179     specification and "includes" elements in goal statement.
  9180   - Rule sets <locale>.intro and <locale>.axioms no longer declared as
  9181     [intro?] and [elim?] (respectively) by default.
  9182   - Experimental command for instantiation of locales in proof contexts:
  9183         instantiate <label>[<attrs>]: <loc>
  9184     Instantiates locale <loc> and adds all its theorems to the current context
  9185     taking into account their attributes.  Label and attrs are optional
  9186     modifiers, like in theorem declarations.  If present, names of
  9187     instantiated theorems are qualified with <label>, and the attributes
  9188     <attrs> are applied after any attributes these theorems might have already.
  9189       If the locale has assumptions, a chained fact of the form
  9190     "<loc> t1 ... tn" is expected from which instantiations of the parameters
  9191     are derived.  The command does not support old-style locales declared
  9192     with "locale (open)".
  9193       A few (very simple) examples can be found in FOL/ex/LocaleInst.thy.
  9194 
  9195 * HOL: Tactic emulation methods induct_tac and case_tac understand static
  9196   (Isar) contexts.
  9197 
  9198 
  9199 *** HOL ***
  9200 
  9201 * Proof import: new image HOL4 contains the imported library from
  9202   the HOL4 system with about 2500 theorems. It is imported by
  9203   replaying proof terms produced by HOL4 in Isabelle. The HOL4 image
  9204   can be used like any other Isabelle image.  See
  9205   HOL/Import/HOL/README for more information.
  9206 
  9207 * Simplifier:
  9208   - Much improved handling of linear and partial orders.
  9209     Reasoners for linear and partial orders are set up for type classes
  9210     "linorder" and "order" respectively, and are added to the default simpset
  9211     as solvers.  This means that the simplifier can build transitivity chains
  9212     to solve goals from the assumptions.
  9213   - INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break occasionally.  Typically, applications
  9214     of blast or auto after simplification become unnecessary because the goal
  9215     is solved by simplification already.
  9216 
  9217 * Numerics: new theory Ring_and_Field contains over 250 basic numerical laws,
  9218     all proved in axiomatic type classes for semirings, rings and fields.
  9219 
  9220 * Numerics:
  9221   - Numeric types (nat, int, and in HOL-Complex rat, real, complex, etc.) are
  9222     now formalized using the Ring_and_Field theory mentioned above.
  9223   - INCOMPATIBILITY: simplification and arithmetic behaves somewhat differently
  9224     than before, because now they are set up once in a generic manner.
  9225   - INCOMPATIBILITY: many type-specific arithmetic laws have gone.
  9226     Look for the general versions in Ring_and_Field (and Power if they concern
  9227     exponentiation).
  9228 
  9229 * Type "rat" of the rational numbers is now available in HOL-Complex.
  9230 
  9231 * Records:
  9232   - Record types are now by default printed with their type abbreviation
  9233     instead of the list of all field types. This can be configured via
  9234     the reference "print_record_type_abbr".
  9235   - Simproc "record_upd_simproc" for simplification of multiple updates added
  9236     (not enabled by default).
  9237   - Simproc "record_ex_sel_eq_simproc" to simplify EX x. sel r = x resp.
  9238     EX x. x = sel r to True (not enabled by default).
  9239   - Tactic "record_split_simp_tac" to split and simplify records added.
  9240 
  9241 * 'specification' command added, allowing for definition by
  9242   specification.  There is also an 'ax_specification' command that
  9243   introduces the new constants axiomatically.
  9244 
  9245 * arith(_tac) is now able to generate counterexamples for reals as well.
  9246 
  9247 * HOL-Algebra: new locale "ring" for non-commutative rings.
  9248 
  9249 * HOL-ex: InductiveInvariant_examples illustrates advanced recursive function
  9250   definitions, thanks to Sava Krsti\'{c} and John Matthews.
  9251 
  9252 * HOL-Matrix: a first theory for matrices in HOL with an application of
  9253   matrix theory to linear programming.
  9254 
  9255 * Unions and Intersections:
  9256   The latex output syntax of UN and INT has been changed
  9257   from "\Union x \in A. B" to "\Union_{x \in A} B"
  9258   i.e. the index formulae has become a subscript.
  9259   Similarly for "\Union x. B", and for \Inter instead of \Union.
  9260 
  9261 * Unions and Intersections over Intervals:
  9262   There is new short syntax "UN i<=n. A" for "UN i:{0..n}. A". There is
  9263   also an x-symbol version with subscripts "\<Union>\<^bsub>i <= n\<^esub>. A"
  9264   like in normal math, and corresponding versions for < and for intersection.
  9265 
  9266 * HOL/List: Ordering "lexico" is renamed "lenlex" and the standard
  9267   lexicographic dictonary ordering has been added as "lexord".
  9268 
  9269 * ML: the legacy theory structures Int and List have been removed. They had
  9270   conflicted with ML Basis Library structures having the same names.
  9271 
  9272 * 'refute' command added to search for (finite) countermodels.  Only works
  9273   for a fragment of HOL.  The installation of an external SAT solver is
  9274   highly recommended.  See "HOL/Refute.thy" for details.
  9275 
  9276 * 'quickcheck' command: Allows to find counterexamples by evaluating
  9277   formulae under an assignment of free variables to random values.
  9278   In contrast to 'refute', it can deal with inductive datatypes,
  9279   but cannot handle quantifiers. See "HOL/ex/Quickcheck_Examples.thy"
  9280   for examples.
  9281 
  9282 
  9283 *** HOLCF ***
  9284 
  9285 * Streams now come with concatenation and are part of the HOLCF image
  9286 
  9287 
  9288 
  9289 New in Isabelle2003 (May 2003)
  9290 ------------------------------
  9291 
  9292 *** General ***
  9293 
  9294 * Provers/simplifier:
  9295 
  9296   - Completely reimplemented method simp (ML: Asm_full_simp_tac):
  9297     Assumptions are now subject to complete mutual simplification,
  9298     not just from left to right. The simplifier now preserves
  9299     the order of assumptions.
  9300 
  9301     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  9302 
  9303     -- simp sometimes diverges where the old version did
  9304        not, e.g. invoking simp on the goal
  9305 
  9306         [| P (f x); y = x; f x = f y |] ==> Q
  9307 
  9308        now gives rise to the infinite reduction sequence
  9309 
  9310         P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> P(f y) --(y = x)--> P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> ...
  9311 
  9312        Using "simp (asm_lr)" (ML: Asm_lr_simp_tac) instead often solves this
  9313        kind of problem.
  9314 
  9315     -- Tactics combining classical reasoner and simplification (such as auto)
  9316        are also affected by this change, because many of them rely on
  9317        simp. They may sometimes diverge as well or yield a different numbers
  9318        of subgoals. Try to use e.g. force, fastsimp, or safe instead of auto
  9319        in case of problems. Sometimes subsequent calls to the classical
  9320        reasoner will fail because a preceeding call to the simplifier too
  9321        eagerly simplified the goal, e.g. deleted redundant premises.
  9322 
  9323   - The simplifier trace now shows the names of the applied rewrite rules
  9324 
  9325   - You can limit the number of recursive invocations of the simplifier
  9326     during conditional rewriting (where the simplifie tries to solve the
  9327     conditions before applying the rewrite rule):
  9328     ML "simp_depth_limit := n"
  9329     where n is an integer. Thus you can force termination where previously
  9330     the simplifier would diverge.
  9331 
  9332   - Accepts free variables as head terms in congruence rules.  Useful in Isar.
  9333 
  9334   - No longer aborts on failed congruence proof.  Instead, the
  9335     congruence is ignored.
  9336 
  9337 * Pure: New generic framework for extracting programs from constructive
  9338   proofs. See HOL/Extraction.thy for an example instantiation, as well
  9339   as HOL/Extraction for some case studies.
  9340 
  9341 * Pure: The main goal of the proof state is no longer shown by default, only
  9342 the subgoals. This behaviour is controlled by a new flag.
  9343    PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Settings -> Show Main Goal
  9344 (ML: Proof.show_main_goal).
  9345 
  9346 * Pure: You can find all matching introduction rules for subgoal 1, i.e. all
  9347 rules whose conclusion matches subgoal 1:
  9348       PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Show me -> matching rules
  9349 The rules are ordered by how closely they match the subgoal.
  9350 In particular, rules that solve a subgoal outright are displayed first
  9351 (or rather last, the way they are printed).
  9352 (ML: ProofGeneral.print_intros())
  9353 
  9354 * Pure: New flag trace_unify_fail causes unification to print
  9355 diagnostic information (PG: in trace buffer) when it fails. This is
  9356 useful for figuring out why single step proofs like rule, erule or
  9357 assumption failed.
  9358 
  9359 * Pure: Locale specifications now produce predicate definitions
  9360 according to the body of text (covering assumptions modulo local
  9361 definitions); predicate "loc_axioms" covers newly introduced text,
  9362 while "loc" is cumulative wrt. all included locale expressions; the
  9363 latter view is presented only on export into the global theory
  9364 context; potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use "(open)" option to fall back
  9365 on the old view without predicates;
  9366 
  9367 * Pure: predefined locales "var" and "struct" are useful for sharing
  9368 parameters (as in CASL, for example); just specify something like
  9369 ``var x + var y + struct M'' as import;
  9370 
  9371 * Pure: improved thms_containing: proper indexing of facts instead of
  9372 raw theorems; check validity of results wrt. current name space;
  9373 include local facts of proof configuration (also covers active
  9374 locales), cover fixed variables in index; may use "_" in term
  9375 specification; an optional limit for the number of printed facts may
  9376 be given (the default is 40);
  9377 
  9378 * Pure: disallow duplicate fact bindings within new-style theory files
  9379 (batch-mode only);
  9380 
  9381 * Provers: improved induct method: assumptions introduced by case
  9382 "foo" are split into "foo.hyps" (from the rule) and "foo.prems" (from
  9383 the goal statement); "foo" still refers to all facts collectively;
  9384 
  9385 * Provers: the function blast.overloaded has been removed: all constants
  9386 are regarded as potentially overloaded, which improves robustness in exchange
  9387 for slight decrease in efficiency;
  9388 
  9389 * Provers/linorder: New generic prover for transitivity reasoning over
  9390 linear orders.  Note: this prover is not efficient!
  9391 
  9392 * Isar: preview of problems to finish 'show' now produce an error
  9393 rather than just a warning (in interactive mode);
  9394 
  9395 
  9396 *** HOL ***
  9397 
  9398 * arith(_tac)
  9399 
  9400  - Produces a counter example if it cannot prove a goal.
  9401    Note that the counter example may be spurious if the goal is not a formula
  9402    of quantifier-free linear arithmetic.
  9403    In ProofGeneral the counter example appears in the trace buffer.
  9404 
  9405  - Knows about div k and mod k where k is a numeral of type nat or int.
  9406 
  9407  - Calls full Presburger arithmetic (by Amine Chaieb) if quantifier-free
  9408    linear arithmetic fails. This takes account of quantifiers and divisibility.
  9409    Presburger arithmetic can also be called explicitly via presburger(_tac).
  9410 
  9411 * simp's arithmetic capabilities have been enhanced a bit: it now
  9412 takes ~= in premises into account (by performing a case split);
  9413 
  9414 * simp reduces "m*(n div m) + n mod m" to n, even if the two summands
  9415 are distributed over a sum of terms;
  9416 
  9417 * New tactic "trans_tac" and method "trans" instantiate
  9418 Provers/linorder.ML for axclasses "order" and "linorder" (predicates
  9419 "<=", "<" and "=").
  9420 
  9421 * function INCOMPATIBILITIES: Pi-sets have been redefined and moved from main
  9422 HOL to Library/FuncSet; constant "Fun.op o" is now called "Fun.comp";
  9423 
  9424 * 'typedef' command has new option "open" to suppress the set
  9425 definition;
  9426 
  9427 * functions Min and Max on finite sets have been introduced (theory
  9428 Finite_Set);
  9429 
  9430 * attribute [symmetric] now works for relations as well; it turns
  9431 (x,y) : R^-1 into (y,x) : R, and vice versa;
  9432 
  9433 * induct over a !!-quantified statement (say !!x1..xn):
  9434   each "case" automatically performs "fix x1 .. xn" with exactly those names.
  9435 
  9436 * Map: `empty' is no longer a constant but a syntactic abbreviation for
  9437 %x. None. Warning: empty_def now refers to the previously hidden definition
  9438 of the empty set.
  9439 
  9440 * Algebra: formalization of classical algebra.  Intended as base for
  9441 any algebraic development in Isabelle.  Currently covers group theory
  9442 (up to Sylow's theorem) and ring theory (Universal Property of
  9443 Univariate Polynomials).  Contributions welcome;
  9444 
  9445 * GroupTheory: deleted, since its material has been moved to Algebra;
  9446 
  9447 * Complex: new directory of the complex numbers with numeric constants,
  9448 nonstandard complex numbers, and some complex analysis, standard and
  9449 nonstandard (Jacques Fleuriot);
  9450 
  9451 * HOL-Complex: new image for analysis, replacing HOL-Real and HOL-Hyperreal;
  9452 
  9453 * Hyperreal: introduced Gauge integration and hyperreal logarithms (Jacques
  9454 Fleuriot);
  9455 
  9456 * Real/HahnBanach: updated and adapted to locales;
  9457 
  9458 * NumberTheory: added Gauss's law of quadratic reciprocity (by Avigad,
  9459 Gray and Kramer);
  9460 
  9461 * UNITY: added the Meier-Sanders theory of progress sets;
  9462 
  9463 * MicroJava: bytecode verifier and lightweight bytecode verifier
  9464 as abstract algorithms, instantiated to the JVM;
  9465 
  9466 * Bali: Java source language formalization. Type system, operational
  9467 semantics, axiomatic semantics. Supported language features:
  9468 classes, interfaces, objects,virtual methods, static methods,
  9469 static/instance fields, arrays, access modifiers, definite
  9470 assignment, exceptions.
  9471 
  9472 
  9473 *** ZF ***
  9474 
  9475 * ZF/Constructible: consistency proof for AC (Gdel's constructible
  9476 universe, etc.);
  9477 
  9478 * Main ZF: virtually all theories converted to new-style format;
  9479 
  9480 
  9481 *** ML ***
  9482 
  9483 * Pure: Tactic.prove provides sane interface for internal proofs;
  9484 omits the infamous "standard" operation, so this is more appropriate
  9485 than prove_goalw_cterm in many situations (e.g. in simprocs);
  9486 
  9487 * Pure: improved error reporting of simprocs;
  9488 
  9489 * Provers: Simplifier.simproc(_i) provides sane interface for setting
  9490 up simprocs;
  9491 
  9492 
  9493 *** Document preparation ***
  9494 
  9495 * uses \par instead of \\ for line breaks in theory text. This may
  9496 shift some page breaks in large documents. To get the old behaviour
  9497 use \renewcommand{\isanewline}{\mbox{}\\\mbox{}} in root.tex.
  9498 
  9499 * minimized dependencies of isabelle.sty and isabellesym.sty on
  9500 other packages
  9501 
  9502 * \<euro> now needs package babel/greek instead of marvosym (which
  9503 broke \Rightarrow)
  9504 
  9505 * normal size for \<zero>...\<nine> (uses \mathbf instead of
  9506 textcomp package)
  9507 
  9508 
  9509 
  9510 New in Isabelle2002 (March 2002)
  9511 --------------------------------
  9512 
  9513 *** Document preparation ***
  9514 
  9515 * greatly simplified document preparation setup, including more
  9516 graceful interpretation of isatool usedir -i/-d/-D options, and more
  9517 instructive isatool mkdir; users should basically be able to get
  9518 started with "isatool mkdir HOL Test && isatool make"; alternatively,
  9519 users may run a separate document processing stage manually like this:
  9520 "isatool usedir -D output HOL Test && isatool document Test/output";
  9521 
  9522 * theory dependency graph may now be incorporated into documents;
  9523 isatool usedir -g true will produce session_graph.eps/.pdf for use
  9524 with \includegraphics of LaTeX;
  9525 
  9526 * proper spacing of consecutive markup elements, especially text
  9527 blocks after section headings;
  9528 
  9529 * support bold style (for single symbols only), input syntax is like
  9530 this: "\<^bold>\<alpha>" or "\<^bold>A";
  9531 
  9532 * \<bullet> is now output as bold \cdot by default, which looks much
  9533 better in printed text;
  9534 
  9535 * added default LaTeX bindings for \<tturnstile> and \<TTurnstile>;
  9536 note that these symbols are currently unavailable in Proof General /
  9537 X-Symbol; new symbols \<zero>, \<one>, ..., \<nine>, and \<euro>;
  9538 
  9539 * isatool latex no longer depends on changed TEXINPUTS, instead
  9540 isatool document copies the Isabelle style files to the target
  9541 location;
  9542 
  9543 
  9544 *** Isar ***
  9545 
  9546 * Pure/Provers: improved proof by cases and induction;
  9547   - 'case' command admits impromptu naming of parameters (such as
  9548     "case (Suc n)");
  9549   - 'induct' method divinates rule instantiation from the inductive
  9550     claim; no longer requires excessive ?P bindings for proper
  9551     instantiation of cases;
  9552   - 'induct' method properly enumerates all possibilities of set/type
  9553     rules; as a consequence facts may be also passed through *type*
  9554     rules without further ado;
  9555   - 'induct' method now derives symbolic cases from the *rulified*
  9556     rule (before it used to rulify cases stemming from the internal
  9557     atomized version); this means that the context of a non-atomic
  9558     statement becomes is included in the hypothesis, avoiding the
  9559     slightly cumbersome show "PROP ?case" form;
  9560   - 'induct' may now use elim-style induction rules without chaining
  9561     facts, using ``missing'' premises from the goal state; this allows
  9562     rules stemming from inductive sets to be applied in unstructured
  9563     scripts, while still benefitting from proper handling of non-atomic
  9564     statements; NB: major inductive premises need to be put first, all
  9565     the rest of the goal is passed through the induction;
  9566   - 'induct' proper support for mutual induction involving non-atomic
  9567     rule statements (uses the new concept of simultaneous goals, see
  9568     below);
  9569   - append all possible rule selections, but only use the first
  9570     success (no backtracking);
  9571   - removed obsolete "(simplified)" and "(stripped)" options of methods;
  9572   - undeclared rule case names default to numbers 1, 2, 3, ...;
  9573   - added 'print_induct_rules' (covered by help item in recent Proof
  9574     General versions);
  9575   - moved induct/cases attributes to Pure, methods to Provers;
  9576   - generic method setup instantiated for FOL and HOL;
  9577 
  9578 * Pure: support multiple simultaneous goal statements, for example
  9579 "have a: A and b: B" (same for 'theorem' etc.); being a pure
  9580 meta-level mechanism, this acts as if several individual goals had
  9581 been stated separately; in particular common proof methods need to be
  9582 repeated in order to cover all claims; note that a single elimination
  9583 step is *not* sufficient to establish the two conjunctions, so this
  9584 fails:
  9585 
  9586   assume "A & B" then have A and B ..   (*".." fails*)
  9587 
  9588 better use "obtain" in situations as above; alternative refer to
  9589 multi-step methods like 'auto', 'simp_all', 'blast+' etc.;
  9590 
  9591 * Pure: proper integration with ``locales''; unlike the original
  9592 version by Florian Kammller, Isar locales package high-level proof
  9593 contexts rather than raw logical ones (e.g. we admit to include
  9594 attributes everywhere); operations on locales include merge and
  9595 rename; support for implicit arguments (``structures''); simultaneous
  9596 type-inference over imports and text; see also HOL/ex/Locales.thy for
  9597 some examples;
  9598 
  9599 * Pure: the following commands have been ``localized'', supporting a
  9600 target locale specification "(in name)": 'lemma', 'theorem',
  9601 'corollary', 'lemmas', 'theorems', 'declare'; the results will be
  9602 stored both within the locale and at the theory level (exported and
  9603 qualified by the locale name);
  9604 
  9605 * Pure: theory goals may now be specified in ``long'' form, with
  9606 ad-hoc contexts consisting of arbitrary locale elements. for example
  9607 ``lemma foo: fixes x assumes "A x" shows "B x"'' (local syntax and
  9608 definitions may be given, too); the result is a meta-level rule with
  9609 the context elements being discharged in the obvious way;
  9610 
  9611 * Pure: new proof command 'using' allows to augment currently used
  9612 facts after a goal statement ('using' is syntactically analogous to
  9613 'apply', but acts on the goal's facts only); this allows chained facts
  9614 to be separated into parts given before and after a claim, as in
  9615 ``from a and b have C using d and e <proof>'';
  9616 
  9617 * Pure: renamed "antecedent" case to "rule_context";
  9618 
  9619 * Pure: new 'judgment' command records explicit information about the
  9620 object-logic embedding (used by several tools internally); no longer
  9621 use hard-wired "Trueprop";
  9622 
  9623 * Pure: added 'corollary' command;
  9624 
  9625 * Pure: fixed 'token_translation' command;
  9626 
  9627 * Pure: removed obsolete 'exported' attribute;
  9628 
  9629 * Pure: dummy pattern "_" in is/let is now automatically lifted over
  9630 bound variables: "ALL x. P x --> Q x" (is "ALL x. _ --> ?C x")
  9631 supersedes more cumbersome ... (is "ALL x. _ x --> ?C x");
  9632 
  9633 * Pure: method 'atomize' presents local goal premises as object-level
  9634 statements (atomic meta-level propositions); setup controlled via
  9635 rewrite rules declarations of 'atomize' attribute; example
  9636 application: 'induct' method with proper rule statements in improper
  9637 proof *scripts*;
  9638 
  9639 * Pure: emulation of instantiation tactics (rule_tac, cut_tac, etc.)
  9640 now consider the syntactic context of assumptions, giving a better
  9641 chance to get type-inference of the arguments right (this is
  9642 especially important for locales);
  9643 
  9644 * Pure: "sorry" no longer requires quick_and_dirty in interactive
  9645 mode;
  9646 
  9647 * Pure/obtain: the formal conclusion "thesis", being marked as
  9648 ``internal'', may no longer be reference directly in the text;
  9649 potential INCOMPATIBILITY, may need to use "?thesis" in rare
  9650 situations;
  9651 
  9652 * Pure: generic 'sym' attribute which declares a rule both as pure
  9653 'elim?' and for the 'symmetric' operation;
  9654 
  9655 * Pure: marginal comments ``--'' may now occur just anywhere in the
  9656 text; the fixed correlation with particular command syntax has been
  9657 discontinued;
  9658 
  9659 * Pure: new method 'rules' is particularly well-suited for proof
  9660 search in intuitionistic logic; a bit slower than 'blast' or 'fast',
  9661 but often produces more compact proof terms with less detours;
  9662 
  9663 * Pure/Provers/classical: simplified integration with pure rule
  9664 attributes and methods; the classical "intro?/elim?/dest?"
  9665 declarations coincide with the pure ones; the "rule" method no longer
  9666 includes classically swapped intros; "intro" and "elim" methods no
  9667 longer pick rules from the context; also got rid of ML declarations
  9668 AddXIs/AddXEs/AddXDs; all of this has some potential for
  9669 INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9670 
  9671 * Provers/classical: attribute 'swapped' produces classical inversions
  9672 of introduction rules;
  9673 
  9674 * Provers/simplifier: 'simplified' attribute may refer to explicit
  9675 rules instead of full simplifier context; 'iff' attribute handles
  9676 conditional rules;
  9677 
  9678 * HOL: 'typedef' now allows alternative names for Rep/Abs morphisms;
  9679 
  9680 * HOL: 'recdef' now fails on unfinished automated proofs, use
  9681 "(permissive)" option to recover old behavior;
  9682 
  9683 * HOL: 'inductive' no longer features separate (collective) attributes
  9684 for 'intros' (was found too confusing);
  9685 
  9686 * HOL: properly declared induction rules less_induct and
  9687 wf_induct_rule;
  9688 
  9689 
  9690 *** HOL ***
  9691 
  9692 * HOL: moved over to sane numeral syntax; the new policy is as
  9693 follows:
  9694 
  9695   - 0 and 1 are polymorphic constants, which are defined on any
  9696   numeric type (nat, int, real etc.);
  9697 
  9698   - 2, 3, 4, ... and -1, -2, -3, ... are polymorphic numerals, based
  9699   binary representation internally;
  9700 
  9701   - type nat has special constructor Suc, and generally prefers Suc 0
  9702   over 1::nat and Suc (Suc 0) over 2::nat;
  9703 
  9704 This change may cause significant problems of INCOMPATIBILITY; here
  9705 are some hints on converting existing sources:
  9706 
  9707   - due to the new "num" token, "-0" and "-1" etc. are now atomic
  9708   entities, so expressions involving "-" (unary or binary minus) need
  9709   to be spaced properly;
  9710 
  9711   - existing occurrences of "1" may need to be constraint "1::nat" or
  9712   even replaced by Suc 0; similar for old "2";
  9713 
  9714   - replace "#nnn" by "nnn", and "#-nnn" by "-nnn";
  9715 
  9716   - remove all special provisions on numerals in proofs;
  9717 
  9718 * HOL: simp rules nat_number expand numerals on nat to Suc/0
  9719 representation (depends on bin_arith_simps in the default context);
  9720 
  9721 * HOL: symbolic syntax for x^2 (numeral 2);
  9722 
  9723 * HOL: the class of all HOL types is now called "type" rather than
  9724 "term"; INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt references to this type class
  9725 in axclass/classes, instance/arities, and (usually rare) occurrences
  9726 in typings (of consts etc.); internally the class is called
  9727 "HOL.type", ML programs should refer to HOLogic.typeS;
  9728 
  9729 * HOL/record package improvements:
  9730   - new derived operations "fields" to build a partial record section,
  9731     "extend" to promote a fixed record to a record scheme, and
  9732     "truncate" for the reverse; cf. theorems "xxx.defs", which are *not*
  9733     declared as simp by default;
  9734   - shared operations ("more", "fields", etc.) now need to be always
  9735     qualified) --- potential INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9736   - removed "make_scheme" operations (use "make" with "extend") --
  9737     INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9738   - removed "more" class (simply use "term") -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9739   - provides cases/induct rules for use with corresponding Isar
  9740     methods (for concrete records, record schemes, concrete more
  9741     parts, and schematic more parts -- in that order);
  9742   - internal definitions directly based on a light-weight abstract
  9743     theory of product types over typedef rather than datatype;
  9744 
  9745 * HOL: generic code generator for generating executable ML code from
  9746 specifications; specific support for HOL constructs such as inductive
  9747 datatypes and sets, as well as recursive functions; can be invoked
  9748 via 'generate_code' theory section;
  9749 
  9750 * HOL: canonical cases/induct rules for n-tuples (n = 3..7);
  9751 
  9752 * HOL: consolidated and renamed several theories.  In particular:
  9753         Ord.thy has been absorbed into HOL.thy
  9754         String.thy has been absorbed into List.thy
  9755 
  9756 * HOL: concrete setsum syntax "\<Sum>i:A. b" == "setsum (%i. b) A"
  9757 (beware of argument permutation!);
  9758 
  9759 * HOL: linorder_less_split superseded by linorder_cases;
  9760 
  9761 * HOL/List: "nodups" renamed to "distinct";
  9762 
  9763 * HOL: added "The" definite description operator; move Hilbert's "Eps"
  9764 to peripheral theory "Hilbert_Choice"; some INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  9765   - Ex_def has changed, now need to use some_eq_ex
  9766 
  9767 * HOL: made split_all_tac safe; EXISTING PROOFS MAY FAIL OR LOOP, so
  9768 in this (rare) case use:
  9769 
  9770   delSWrapper "split_all_tac"
  9771   addSbefore ("unsafe_split_all_tac", unsafe_split_all_tac)
  9772 
  9773 * HOL: added safe wrapper "split_conv_tac" to claset; EXISTING PROOFS
  9774 MAY FAIL;
  9775 
  9776 * HOL: introduced f^n = f o ... o f; warning: due to the limits of
  9777 Isabelle's type classes, ^ on functions and relations has too general
  9778 a domain, namely ('a * 'b) set and 'a => 'b; this means that it may be
  9779 necessary to attach explicit type constraints;
  9780 
  9781 * HOL/Relation: the prefix name of the infix "O" has been changed from
  9782 "comp" to "rel_comp"; INCOMPATIBILITY: a few theorems have been
  9783 renamed accordingly (eg "compI" -> "rel_compI").
  9784 
  9785 * HOL: syntax translations now work properly with numerals and records
  9786 expressions;
  9787 
  9788 * HOL: bounded abstraction now uses syntax "%" / "\<lambda>" instead
  9789 of "lam" -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9790 
  9791 * HOL: got rid of some global declarations (potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  9792 for ML tools): const "()" renamed "Product_Type.Unity", type "unit"
  9793 renamed "Product_Type.unit";
  9794 
  9795 * HOL: renamed rtrancl_into_rtrancl2 to converse_rtrancl_into_rtrancl
  9796 
  9797 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem "optionE" (use "option.exhaust", or
  9798 the "cases" method);
  9799 
  9800 * HOL/GroupTheory: group theory examples including Sylow's theorem (by
  9801 Florian Kammller);
  9802 
  9803 * HOL/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory format; several
  9804 parts turned into readable document, with proper Isar proof texts and
  9805 some explanations (by Gerwin Klein);
  9806 
  9807 * HOL-Real: added Complex_Numbers (by Gertrud Bauer);
  9808 
  9809 * HOL-Hyperreal is now a logic image;
  9810 
  9811 
  9812 *** HOLCF ***
  9813 
  9814 * Isar: consts/constdefs supports mixfix syntax for continuous
  9815 operations;
  9816 
  9817 * Isar: domain package adapted to new-style theory format, e.g. see
  9818 HOLCF/ex/Dnat.thy;
  9819 
  9820 * theory Lift: proper use of rep_datatype lift instead of ML hacks --
  9821 potential INCOMPATIBILITY; now use plain induct_tac instead of former
  9822 lift.induct_tac, always use UU instead of Undef;
  9823 
  9824 * HOLCF/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory;
  9825 
  9826 
  9827 *** ZF ***
  9828 
  9829 * Isar: proper integration of logic-specific tools and packages,
  9830 including theory commands '(co)inductive', '(co)datatype',
  9831 'rep_datatype', 'inductive_cases', as well as methods 'ind_cases',
  9832 'induct_tac', 'case_tac', and 'typecheck' (with attribute 'TC');
  9833 
  9834 * theory Main no longer includes AC; for the Axiom of Choice, base
  9835 your theory on Main_ZFC;
  9836 
  9837 * the integer library now covers quotients and remainders, with many
  9838 laws relating division to addition, multiplication, etc.;
  9839 
  9840 * ZF/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY is now available in ZF, giving a
  9841 typeless version of the formalism;
  9842 
  9843 * ZF/AC, Coind, IMP, Resid: updated and converted to new-style theory
  9844 format;
  9845 
  9846 * ZF/Induct: new directory for examples of inductive definitions,
  9847 including theory Multiset for multiset orderings; converted to
  9848 new-style theory format;
  9849 
  9850 * ZF: many new theorems about lists, ordinals, etc.;
  9851 
  9852 
  9853 *** General ***
  9854 
  9855 * Pure/kernel: meta-level proof terms (by Stefan Berghofer); reference
  9856 variable proof controls level of detail: 0 = no proofs (only oracle
  9857 dependencies), 1 = lemma dependencies, 2 = compact proof terms; see
  9858 also ref manual for further ML interfaces;
  9859 
  9860 * Pure/axclass: removed obsolete ML interface
  9861 goal_subclass/goal_arity;
  9862 
  9863 * Pure/syntax: new token syntax "num" for plain numerals (without "#"
  9864 of "xnum"); potential INCOMPATIBILITY, since -0, -1 etc. are now
  9865 separate tokens, so expressions involving minus need to be spaced
  9866 properly;
  9867 
  9868 * Pure/syntax: support non-oriented infixes, using keyword "infix"
  9869 rather than "infixl" or "infixr";
  9870 
  9871 * Pure/syntax: concrete syntax for dummy type variables admits genuine
  9872 sort constraint specifications in type inference; e.g. "x::_::foo"
  9873 ensures that the type of "x" is of sort "foo" (but not necessarily a
  9874 type variable);
  9875 
  9876 * Pure/syntax: print modes "type_brackets" and "no_type_brackets"
  9877 control output of nested => (types); the default behavior is
  9878 "type_brackets";
  9879 
  9880 * Pure/syntax: builtin parse translation for "_constify" turns valued
  9881 tokens into AST constants;
  9882 
  9883 * Pure/syntax: prefer later declarations of translations and print
  9884 translation functions; potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to reverse
  9885 multiple declarations for same syntax element constant;
  9886 
  9887 * Pure/show_hyps reset by default (in accordance to existing Isar
  9888 practice);
  9889 
  9890 * Provers/classical: renamed addaltern to addafter, addSaltern to
  9891 addSafter;
  9892 
  9893 * Provers/clasimp: ``iff'' declarations now handle conditional rules
  9894 as well;
  9895 
  9896 * system: tested support for MacOS X; should be able to get Isabelle +
  9897 Proof General to work in a plain Terminal after installing Poly/ML
  9898 (e.g. from the Isabelle distribution area) and GNU bash alone
  9899 (e.g. from http://www.apple.com); full X11, XEmacs and X-Symbol
  9900 support requires further installations, e.g. from
  9901 http://fink.sourceforge.net/);
  9902 
  9903 * system: support Poly/ML 4.1.1 (able to manage larger heaps);
  9904 
  9905 * system: reduced base memory usage by Poly/ML (approx. 20 MB instead
  9906 of 40 MB), cf. ML_OPTIONS;
  9907 
  9908 * system: Proof General keywords specification is now part of the
  9909 Isabelle distribution (see etc/isar-keywords.el);
  9910 
  9911 * system: support for persistent Proof General sessions (refrain from
  9912 outdating all loaded theories on startup); user may create writable
  9913 logic images like this: ``isabelle -q HOL Test'';
  9914 
  9915 * system: smart selection of Isabelle process versus Isabelle
  9916 interface, accommodates case-insensitive file systems (e.g. HFS+); may
  9917 run both "isabelle" and "Isabelle" even if file names are badly
  9918 damaged (executable inspects the case of the first letter of its own
  9919 name); added separate "isabelle-process" and "isabelle-interface";
  9920 
  9921 * system: refrain from any attempt at filtering input streams; no
  9922 longer support ``8bit'' encoding of old isabelle font, instead proper
  9923 iso-latin characters may now be used; the related isatools
  9924 "symbolinput" and "nonascii" have disappeared as well;
  9925 
  9926 * system: removed old "xterm" interface (the print modes "xterm" and
  9927 "xterm_color" are still available for direct use in a suitable
  9928 terminal);
  9929 
  9930 
  9931 
  9932 New in Isabelle99-2 (February 2001)
  9933 -----------------------------------
  9934 
  9935 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  9936 
  9937 * HOL: please note that theories in the Library and elsewhere often use the
  9938 new-style (Isar) format; to refer to their theorems in an ML script you must
  9939 bind them to ML identifers by e.g.      val thm_name = thm "thm_name";
  9940 
  9941 * HOL: inductive package no longer splits induction rule aggressively,
  9942 but only as far as specified by the introductions given; the old
  9943 format may be recovered via ML function complete_split_rule or attribute
  9944 'split_rule (complete)';
  9945 
  9946 * HOL: induct renamed to lfp_induct, lfp_Tarski to lfp_unfold,
  9947 gfp_Tarski to gfp_unfold;
  9948 
  9949 * HOL: contrapos, contrapos2 renamed to contrapos_nn, contrapos_pp;
  9950 
  9951 * HOL: infix "dvd" now has priority 50 rather than 70 (because it is a
  9952 relation); infix "^^" has been renamed "``"; infix "``" has been
  9953 renamed "`"; "univalent" has been renamed "single_valued";
  9954 
  9955 * HOL/Real: "rinv" and "hrinv" replaced by overloaded "inverse"
  9956 operation;
  9957 
  9958 * HOLCF: infix "`" has been renamed "$"; the symbol syntax is \<cdot>;
  9959 
  9960 * Isar: 'obtain' no longer declares "that" fact as simp/intro;
  9961 
  9962 * Isar/HOL: method 'induct' now handles non-atomic goals; as a
  9963 consequence, it is no longer monotonic wrt. the local goal context
  9964 (which is now passed through the inductive cases);
  9965 
  9966 * Document preparation: renamed standard symbols \<ll> to \<lless> and
  9967 \<gg> to \<ggreater>;
  9968 
  9969 
  9970 *** Document preparation ***
  9971 
  9972 * \isabellestyle{NAME} selects version of Isabelle output (currently
  9973 available: are "it" for near math-mode best-style output, "sl" for
  9974 slanted text style, and "tt" for plain type-writer; if no
  9975 \isabellestyle command is given, output is according to slanted
  9976 type-writer);
  9977 
  9978 * support sub/super scripts (for single symbols only), input syntax is
  9979 like this: "A\<^sup>*" or "A\<^sup>\<star>";
  9980 
  9981 * some more standard symbols; see Appendix A of the system manual for
  9982 the complete list of symbols defined in isabellesym.sty;
  9983 
  9984 * improved isabelle style files; more abstract symbol implementation
  9985 (should now use \isamath{...} and \isatext{...} in custom symbol
  9986 definitions);
  9987 
  9988 * antiquotation @{goals} and @{subgoals} for output of *dynamic* goals
  9989 state; Note that presentation of goal states does not conform to
  9990 actual human-readable proof documents.  Please do not include goal
  9991 states into document output unless you really know what you are doing!
  9992 
  9993 * proper indentation of antiquoted output with proportional LaTeX
  9994 fonts;
  9995 
  9996 * no_document ML operator temporarily disables LaTeX document
  9997 generation;
  9998 
  9999 * isatool unsymbolize tunes sources for plain ASCII communication;
 10000 
 10001 
 10002 *** Isar ***
 10003 
 10004 * Pure: Isar now suffers initial goal statements to contain unbound
 10005 schematic variables (this does not conform to actual readable proof
 10006 documents, due to unpredictable outcome and non-compositional proof
 10007 checking); users who know what they are doing may use schematic goals
 10008 for Prolog-style synthesis of proven results;
 10009 
 10010 * Pure: assumption method (an implicit finishing) now handles actual
 10011 rules as well;
 10012 
 10013 * Pure: improved 'obtain' --- moved to Pure, insert "that" into
 10014 initial goal, declare "that" only as Pure intro (only for single
 10015 steps); the "that" rule assumption may now be involved in implicit
 10016 finishing, thus ".." becomes a feasible for trivial obtains;
 10017 
 10018 * Pure: default proof step now includes 'intro_classes'; thus trivial
 10019 instance proofs may be performed by "..";
 10020 
 10021 * Pure: ?thesis / ?this / "..." now work for pure meta-level
 10022 statements as well;
 10023 
 10024 * Pure: more robust selection of calculational rules;
 10025 
 10026 * Pure: the builtin notion of 'finished' goal now includes the ==-refl
 10027 rule (as well as the assumption rule);
 10028 
 10029 * Pure: 'thm_deps' command visualizes dependencies of theorems and
 10030 lemmas, using the graph browser tool;
 10031 
 10032 * Pure: predict failure of "show" in interactive mode;
 10033 
 10034 * Pure: 'thms_containing' now takes actual terms as arguments;
 10035 
 10036 * HOL: improved method 'induct' --- now handles non-atomic goals
 10037 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY); tuned error handling;
 10038 
 10039 * HOL: cases and induct rules now provide explicit hints about the
 10040 number of facts to be consumed (0 for "type" and 1 for "set" rules);
 10041 any remaining facts are inserted into the goal verbatim;
 10042 
 10043 * HOL: local contexts (aka cases) may now contain term bindings as
 10044 well; the 'cases' and 'induct' methods new provide a ?case binding for
 10045 the result to be shown in each case;
 10046 
 10047 * HOL: added 'recdef_tc' command;
 10048 
 10049 * isatool convert assists in eliminating legacy ML scripts;
 10050 
 10051 
 10052 *** HOL ***
 10053 
 10054 * HOL/Library: a collection of generic theories to be used together
 10055 with main HOL; the theory loader path already includes this directory
 10056 by default; the following existing theories have been moved here:
 10057 HOL/Induct/Multiset, HOL/Induct/Acc (as Accessible_Part), HOL/While
 10058 (as While_Combinator), HOL/Lex/Prefix (as List_Prefix);
 10059 
 10060 * HOL/Unix: "Some aspects of Unix file-system security", a typical
 10061 modelling and verification task performed in Isabelle/HOL +
 10062 Isabelle/Isar + Isabelle document preparation (by Markus Wenzel).
 10063 
 10064 * HOL/Algebra: special summation operator SUM no longer exists, it has
 10065 been replaced by setsum; infix 'assoc' now has priority 50 (like
 10066 'dvd'); axiom 'one_not_zero' has been moved from axclass 'ring' to
 10067 'domain', this makes the theory consistent with mathematical
 10068 literature;
 10069 
 10070 * HOL basics: added overloaded operations "inverse" and "divide"
 10071 (infix "/"), syntax for generic "abs" operation, generic summation
 10072 operator \<Sum>;
 10073 
 10074 * HOL/typedef: simplified package, provide more useful rules (see also
 10075 HOL/subset.thy);
 10076 
 10077 * HOL/datatype: induction rule for arbitrarily branching datatypes is
 10078 now expressed as a proper nested rule (old-style tactic scripts may
 10079 require atomize_strip_tac to cope with non-atomic premises);
 10080 
 10081 * HOL: renamed theory "Prod" to "Product_Type", renamed "split" rule
 10082 to "split_conv" (old name still available for compatibility);
 10083 
 10084 * HOL: improved concrete syntax for strings (e.g. allows translation
 10085 rules with string literals);
 10086 
 10087 * HOL-Real-Hyperreal: this extends HOL-Real with the hyperreals
 10088  and Fleuriot's mechanization of analysis, including the transcendental
 10089  functions for the reals;
 10090 
 10091 * HOL/Real, HOL/Hyperreal: improved arithmetic simplification;
 10092 
 10093 
 10094 *** CTT ***
 10095 
 10096 * CTT: x-symbol support for Pi, Sigma, -->, : (membership); note that
 10097 "lam" is displayed as TWO lambda-symbols
 10098 
 10099 * CTT: theory Main now available, containing everything (that is, Bool
 10100 and Arith);
 10101 
 10102 
 10103 *** General ***
 10104 
 10105 * Pure: the Simplifier has been implemented properly as a derived rule
 10106 outside of the actual kernel (at last!); the overall performance
 10107 penalty in practical applications is about 50%, while reliability of
 10108 the Isabelle inference kernel has been greatly improved;
 10109 
 10110 * print modes "brackets" and "no_brackets" control output of nested =>
 10111 (types) and ==> (props); the default behaviour is "brackets";
 10112 
 10113 * Provers: fast_tac (and friends) now handle actual object-logic rules
 10114 as assumptions as well;
 10115 
 10116 * system: support Poly/ML 4.0;
 10117 
 10118 * system: isatool install handles KDE version 1 or 2;
 10119 
 10120 
 10121 
 10122 New in Isabelle99-1 (October 2000)
 10123 ----------------------------------
 10124 
 10125 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
 10126 
 10127 * HOL: simplification of natural numbers is much changed; to partly
 10128 recover the old behaviour (e.g. to prevent n+n rewriting to #2*n)
 10129 issue the following ML commands:
 10130 
 10131   Delsimprocs Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.cancel_numerals;
 10132   Delsimprocs [Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.combine_numerals];
 10133 
 10134 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions; this is
 10135 controlled by "t.weak_case_cong" for each datatype t;
 10136 
 10137 * HOL: nat_less_induct renamed to less_induct;
 10138 
 10139 * HOL: systematic renaming of the SOME (Eps) rules, may use isatool
 10140 fixsome to patch .thy and .ML sources automatically;
 10141 
 10142   select_equality  -> some_equality
 10143   select_eq_Ex     -> some_eq_ex
 10144   selectI2EX       -> someI2_ex
 10145   selectI2         -> someI2
 10146   selectI          -> someI
 10147   select1_equality -> some1_equality
 10148   Eps_sym_eq       -> some_sym_eq_trivial
 10149   Eps_eq           -> some_eq_trivial
 10150 
 10151 * HOL: exhaust_tac on datatypes superceded by new generic case_tac;
 10152 
 10153 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem binding expand_if (refer to split_if
 10154 instead);
 10155 
 10156 * HOL: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' are now called
 10157 f.simps instead of f.rules;
 10158 
 10159 * HOL: qed_spec_mp now also handles bounded ALL as well;
 10160 
 10161 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded, so the type constraint ":: nat" may
 10162 sometimes be needed;
 10163 
 10164 * HOL: the constant for "f``x" is now "image" rather than "op ``";
 10165 
 10166 * HOL: the constant for "f-``x" is now "vimage" rather than "op -``";
 10167 
 10168 * HOL: the disjoint sum is now "<+>" instead of "Plus"; the cartesian
 10169 product is now "<*>" instead of "Times"; the lexicographic product is
 10170 now "<*lex*>" instead of "**";
 10171 
 10172 * HOL: theory Sexp is now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part
 10173 of main HOL, but was unused); better use HOL's datatype package;
 10174 
 10175 * HOL: removed "symbols" syntax for constant "override" of theory Map;
 10176 the old syntax may be recovered as follows:
 10177 
 10178   syntax (symbols)
 10179     override  :: "('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b)"
 10180       (infixl "\\<oplus>" 100)
 10181 
 10182 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
 10183 
 10184 * HOL/ML: even fewer consts are declared as global (see theories Ord,
 10185 Lfp, Gfp, WF); this only affects ML packages that refer to const names
 10186 internally;
 10187 
 10188 * HOL and ZF: syntax for quotienting wrt an equivalence relation
 10189 changed from A/r to A//r;
 10190 
 10191 * ZF: new treatment of arithmetic (nat & int) may break some old
 10192 proofs;
 10193 
 10194 * Isar: renamed some attributes (RS -> THEN, simplify -> simplified,
 10195 rulify -> rule_format, elimify -> elim_format, ...);
 10196 
 10197 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
 10198 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (in most cases, one
 10199 should have to change intro!! to intro? only); replaced "delrule" by
 10200 "rule del";
 10201 
 10202 * Isar/HOL: renamed "intrs" to "intros" in inductive definitions;
 10203 
 10204 * Provers: strengthened force_tac by using new first_best_tac;
 10205 
 10206 * LaTeX document preparation: several changes of isabelle.sty (see
 10207 lib/texinputs);
 10208 
 10209 
 10210 *** Document preparation ***
 10211 
 10212 * formal comments (text blocks etc.) in new-style theories may now
 10213 contain antiquotations of thm/prop/term/typ/text to be presented
 10214 according to latex print mode; concrete syntax is like this:
 10215 @{term[show_types] "f(x) = a + x"};
 10216 
 10217 * isatool mkdir provides easy setup of Isabelle session directories,
 10218 including proper document sources;
 10219 
 10220 * generated LaTeX sources are now deleted after successful run
 10221 (isatool document -c); may retain a copy somewhere else via -D option
 10222 of isatool usedir;
 10223 
 10224 * isatool usedir -D now lets isatool latex -o sty update the Isabelle
 10225 style files, achieving self-contained LaTeX sources and simplifying
 10226 LaTeX debugging;
 10227 
 10228 * old-style theories now produce (crude) LaTeX output as well;
 10229 
 10230 * browser info session directories are now self-contained (may be put
 10231 on WWW server seperately); improved graphs of nested sessions; removed
 10232 graph for 'all sessions';
 10233 
 10234 * several improvements in isabelle style files; \isabellestyle{it}
 10235 produces fake math mode output; \isamarkupheader is now \section by
 10236 default; see lib/texinputs/isabelle.sty etc.;
 10237 
 10238 
 10239 *** Isar ***
 10240 
 10241 * Isar/Pure: local results and corresponding term bindings are now
 10242 subject to Hindley-Milner polymorphism (similar to ML); this
 10243 accommodates incremental type-inference very nicely;
 10244 
 10245 * Isar/Pure: new derived language element 'obtain' supports
 10246 generalized existence reasoning;
 10247 
 10248 * Isar/Pure: new calculational elements 'moreover' and 'ultimately'
 10249 support accumulation of results, without applying any rules yet;
 10250 useful to collect intermediate results without explicit name
 10251 references, and for use with transitivity rules with more than 2
 10252 premises;
 10253 
 10254 * Isar/Pure: scalable support for case-analysis type proofs: new
 10255 'case' language element refers to local contexts symbolically, as
 10256 produced by certain proof methods; internally, case names are attached
 10257 to theorems as "tags";
 10258 
 10259 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'hide' removes declarations from
 10260 class/type/const name spaces;
 10261 
 10262 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'defs' supports option "(overloaded)" to
 10263 indicate potential overloading;
 10264 
 10265 * Isar/Pure: changed syntax of local blocks from {{ }} to { };
 10266 
 10267 * Isar/Pure: syntax of sorts made 'inner', i.e. have to write
 10268 "{a,b,c}" instead of {a,b,c};
 10269 
 10270 * Isar/Pure now provides its own version of intro/elim/dest
 10271 attributes; useful for building new logics, but beware of confusion
 10272 with the version in Provers/classical;
 10273 
 10274 * Isar/Pure: the local context of (non-atomic) goals is provided via
 10275 case name 'antecedent';
 10276 
 10277 * Isar/Pure: removed obsolete 'transfer' attribute (transfer of thms
 10278 to the current context is now done automatically);
 10279 
 10280 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'method_setup' provides a simple interface
 10281 for definining proof methods in ML;
 10282 
 10283 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
 10284 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (INCOMPATIBILITY, in
 10285 most cases, one should have to change intro!! to intro? only);
 10286 replaced "delrule" by "rule del";
 10287 
 10288 * Isar/Provers: new 'hypsubst' method, plain 'subst' method and
 10289 'symmetric' attribute (the latter supercedes [RS sym]);
 10290 
 10291 * Isar/Provers: splitter support (via 'split' attribute and 'simp'
 10292 method modifier); 'simp' method: 'only:' modifier removes loopers as
 10293 well (including splits);
 10294 
 10295 * Isar/Provers: Simplifier and Classical methods now support all kind
 10296 of modifiers used in the past, including 'cong', 'iff', etc.
 10297 
 10298 * Isar/Provers: added 'fastsimp' and 'clarsimp' methods (combination
 10299 of Simplifier and Classical reasoner);
 10300 
 10301 * Isar/HOL: new proof method 'cases' and improved version of 'induct'
 10302 now support named cases; major packages (inductive, datatype, primrec,
 10303 recdef) support case names and properly name parameters;
 10304 
 10305 * Isar/HOL: new transitivity rules for substitution in inequalities --
 10306 monotonicity conditions are extracted to be proven at end of
 10307 calculations;
 10308 
 10309 * Isar/HOL: removed 'case_split' thm binding, should use 'cases' proof
 10310 method anyway;
 10311 
 10312 * Isar/HOL: removed old expand_if = split_if; theorems if_splits =
 10313 split_if split_if_asm; datatype package provides theorems foo.splits =
 10314 foo.split foo.split_asm for each datatype;
 10315 
 10316 * Isar/HOL: tuned inductive package, rename "intrs" to "intros"
 10317 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY), emulation of mk_cases feature for proof
 10318 scripts: new 'inductive_cases' command and 'ind_cases' method; (Note:
 10319 use "(cases (simplified))" method in proper proof texts);
 10320 
 10321 * Isar/HOL: added global 'arith_split' attribute for 'arith' method;
 10322 
 10323 * Isar: names of theorems etc. may be natural numbers as well;
 10324 
 10325 * Isar: 'pr' command: optional arguments for goals_limit and
 10326 ProofContext.prems_limit; no longer prints theory contexts, but only
 10327 proof states;
 10328 
 10329 * Isar: diagnostic commands 'pr', 'thm', 'prop', 'term', 'typ' admit
 10330 additional print modes to be specified; e.g. "pr(latex)" will print
 10331 proof state according to the Isabelle LaTeX style;
 10332 
 10333 * Isar: improved support for emulating tactic scripts, including proof
 10334 methods 'rule_tac' etc., 'cut_tac', 'thin_tac', 'subgoal_tac',
 10335 'rename_tac', 'rotate_tac', 'tactic', and 'case_tac' / 'induct_tac'
 10336 (for HOL datatypes);
 10337 
 10338 * Isar: simplified (more robust) goal selection of proof methods: 1st
 10339 goal, all goals, or explicit goal specifier (tactic emulation); thus
 10340 'proof method scripts' have to be in depth-first order;
 10341 
 10342 * Isar: tuned 'let' syntax: replaced 'as' keyword by 'and';
 10343 
 10344 * Isar: removed 'help' command, which hasn't been too helpful anyway;
 10345 should instead use individual commands for printing items
 10346 (print_commands, print_methods etc.);
 10347 
 10348 * Isar: added 'nothing' --- the empty list of theorems;
 10349 
 10350 
 10351 *** HOL ***
 10352 
 10353 * HOL/MicroJava: formalization of a fragment of Java, together with a
 10354 corresponding virtual machine and a specification of its bytecode
 10355 verifier and a lightweight bytecode verifier, including proofs of
 10356 type-safety; by Gerwin Klein, Tobias Nipkow, David von Oheimb, and
 10357 Cornelia Pusch (see also the homepage of project Bali at
 10358 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Bali/);
 10359 
 10360 * HOL/Algebra: new theory of rings and univariate polynomials, by
 10361 Clemens Ballarin;
 10362 
 10363 * HOL/NumberTheory: fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, Chinese
 10364 Remainder Theorem, Fermat/Euler Theorem, Wilson's Theorem, by Thomas M
 10365 Rasmussen;
 10366 
 10367 * HOL/Lattice: fundamental concepts of lattice theory and order
 10368 structures, including duals, properties of bounds versus algebraic
 10369 laws, lattice operations versus set-theoretic ones, the Knaster-Tarski
 10370 Theorem for complete lattices etc.; may also serve as a demonstration
 10371 for abstract algebraic reasoning using axiomatic type classes, and
 10372 mathematics-style proof in Isabelle/Isar; by Markus Wenzel;
 10373 
 10374 * HOL/Prolog: a (bare-bones) implementation of Lambda-Prolog, by David
 10375 von Oheimb;
 10376 
 10377 * HOL/IMPP: extension of IMP with local variables and mutually
 10378 recursive procedures, by David von Oheimb;
 10379 
 10380 * HOL/Lambda: converted into new-style theory and document;
 10381 
 10382 * HOL/ex/Multiquote: example of multiple nested quotations and
 10383 anti-quotations -- basically a generalized version of de-Bruijn
 10384 representation; very useful in avoiding lifting of operations;
 10385 
 10386 * HOL/record: added general record equality rule to simpset; fixed
 10387 select-update simplification procedure to handle extended records as
 10388 well; admit "r" as field name;
 10389 
 10390 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded over the new sort "zero", allowing its use with
 10391 other numeric types and also as the identity of groups, rings, etc.;
 10392 
 10393 * HOL: new axclass plus_ac0 for addition with the AC-laws and 0 as identity.
 10394 Types nat and int belong to this axclass;
 10395 
 10396 * HOL: greatly improved simplification involving numerals of type nat, int, real:
 10397    (i + #8 + j) = Suc k simplifies to  #7 + (i + j) = k
 10398    i*j + k + j*#3*i     simplifies to  #4*(i*j) + k
 10399   two terms #m*u and #n*u are replaced by #(m+n)*u
 10400     (where #m, #n and u can implicitly be 1; this is simproc combine_numerals)
 10401   and the term/formula #m*u+x ~~ #n*u+y simplifies simplifies to #(m-n)+x ~~ y
 10402     or x ~~ #(n-m)+y, where ~~ is one of = < <= or - (simproc cancel_numerals);
 10403 
 10404 * HOL: meson_tac is available (previously in ex/meson.ML); it is a
 10405 powerful prover for predicate logic but knows nothing of clasets; see
 10406 ex/mesontest.ML and ex/mesontest2.ML for example applications;
 10407 
 10408 * HOL: new version of "case_tac" subsumes both boolean case split and
 10409 "exhaust_tac" on datatypes; INCOMPATIBILITY: exhaust_tac no longer
 10410 exists, may define val exhaust_tac = case_tac for ad-hoc portability;
 10411 
 10412 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions: only the
 10413 selector expression is simplified, but not the remaining arms; to
 10414 enable full simplification of case-expressions for datatype t, you may
 10415 remove t.weak_case_cong from the simpset, either globally (Delcongs
 10416 [thm"t.weak_case_cong"];) or locally (delcongs [...]).
 10417 
 10418 * HOL/recdef: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' for
 10419 function 'f' are now called f.simps instead of f.rules; if all
 10420 termination conditions are proved automatically, these simplification
 10421 rules are added to the simpset, as in primrec; rules may be named
 10422 individually as well, resulting in a separate list of theorems for
 10423 each equation;
 10424 
 10425 * HOL/While is a new theory that provides a while-combinator. It
 10426 permits the definition of tail-recursive functions without the
 10427 provision of a termination measure. The latter is necessary once the
 10428 invariant proof rule for while is applied.
 10429 
 10430 * HOL: new (overloaded) notation for the set of elements below/above
 10431 some element: {..u}, {..u(}, {l..}, {)l..}. See theory SetInterval.
 10432 
 10433 * HOL: theorems impI, allI, ballI bound as "strip";
 10434 
 10435 * HOL: new tactic induct_thm_tac: thm -> string -> int -> tactic
 10436 induct_tac th "x1 ... xn" expects th to have a conclusion of the form
 10437 P v1 ... vn and abbreviates res_inst_tac [("v1","x1"),...,("vn","xn")] th;
 10438 
 10439 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
 10440 
 10441 * HOL: theory Sexp now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part of
 10442 main HOL, but was unused);
 10443 
 10444 * HOL: fewer consts declared as global (e.g. have to refer to
 10445 "Lfp.lfp" instead of "lfp" internally; affects ML packages only);
 10446 
 10447 * HOL: tuned AST representation of nested pairs, avoiding bogus output
 10448 in case of overlap with user translations (e.g. judgements over
 10449 tuples); (note that the underlying logical represenation is still
 10450 bogus);
 10451 
 10452 
 10453 *** ZF ***
 10454 
 10455 * ZF: simplification automatically cancels common terms in arithmetic
 10456 expressions over nat and int;
 10457 
 10458 * ZF: new treatment of nat to minimize type-checking: all operators
 10459 coerce their operands to a natural number using the function natify,
 10460 making the algebraic laws unconditional;
 10461 
 10462 * ZF: as above, for int: operators coerce their operands to an integer
 10463 using the function intify;
 10464 
 10465 * ZF: the integer library now contains many of the usual laws for the
 10466 orderings, including $<=, and monotonicity laws for $+ and $*;
 10467 
 10468 * ZF: new example ZF/ex/NatSum to demonstrate integer arithmetic
 10469 simplification;
 10470 
 10471 * FOL and ZF: AddIffs now available, giving theorems of the form P<->Q
 10472 to the simplifier and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 10473 
 10474 
 10475 *** General ***
 10476 
 10477 * Provers: blast_tac now handles actual object-logic rules as
 10478 assumptions; note that auto_tac uses blast_tac internally as well;
 10479 
 10480 * Provers: new functions rulify/rulify_no_asm: thm -> thm for turning
 10481 outer -->/All/Ball into ==>/!!; qed_spec_mp now uses rulify_no_asm;
 10482 
 10483 * Provers: delrules now handles destruct rules as well (no longer need
 10484 explicit make_elim);
 10485 
 10486 * Provers: Blast_tac now warns of and ignores "weak elimination rules" e.g.
 10487   [| inj ?f;          ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
 10488 use instead the strong form,
 10489   [| inj ?f; ~ ?W ==> ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
 10490 in HOL, FOL and ZF the function cla_make_elim will create such rules
 10491 from destruct-rules;
 10492 
 10493 * Provers: Simplifier.easy_setup provides a fast path to basic
 10494 Simplifier setup for new object-logics;
 10495 
 10496 * Pure: AST translation rules no longer require constant head on LHS;
 10497 
 10498 * Pure: improved name spaces: ambiguous output is qualified; support
 10499 for hiding of names;
 10500 
 10501 * system: smart setup of canonical ML_HOME, ISABELLE_INTERFACE, and
 10502 XSYMBOL_HOME; no longer need to do manual configuration in most
 10503 situations;
 10504 
 10505 * system: compression of ML heaps images may now be controlled via -c
 10506 option of isabelle and isatool usedir (currently only observed by
 10507 Poly/ML);
 10508 
 10509 * system: isatool installfonts may handle X-Symbol fonts as well (very
 10510 useful for remote X11);
 10511 
 10512 * system: provide TAGS file for Isabelle sources;
 10513 
 10514 * ML: infix 'OF' is a version of 'MRS' with more appropriate argument
 10515 order;
 10516 
 10517 * ML: renamed flags Syntax.trace_norm_ast to Syntax.trace_ast; global
 10518 timing flag supersedes proof_timing and Toplevel.trace;
 10519 
 10520 * ML: new combinators |>> and |>>> for incremental transformations
 10521 with secondary results (e.g. certain theory extensions):
 10522 
 10523 * ML: PureThy.add_defs gets additional argument to indicate potential
 10524 overloading (usually false);
 10525 
 10526 * ML: PureThy.add_thms/add_axioms/add_defs now return theorems as
 10527 results;
 10528 
 10529 
 10530 
 10531 New in Isabelle99 (October 1999)
 10532 --------------------------------
 10533 
 10534 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 10535 
 10536 * HOL: The THEN and ELSE parts of conditional expressions (if P then x else y)
 10537 are no longer simplified.  (This allows the simplifier to unfold recursive
 10538 functional programs.)  To restore the old behaviour, declare
 10539 
 10540     Delcongs [if_weak_cong];
 10541 
 10542 * HOL: Removed the obsolete syntax "Compl A"; use -A for set
 10543 complement;
 10544 
 10545 * HOL: the predicate "inj" is now defined by translation to "inj_on";
 10546 
 10547 * HOL/datatype: mutual_induct_tac no longer exists --
 10548   use induct_tac "x_1 ... x_n" instead of mutual_induct_tac ["x_1", ..., "x_n"]
 10549 
 10550 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
 10551 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
 10552 
 10553 * ZF: The con_defs part of an inductive definition may no longer refer
 10554 to constants declared in the same theory;
 10555 
 10556 * HOL, ZF: the function mk_cases, generated by the inductive
 10557 definition package, has lost an argument.  To simplify its result, it
 10558 uses the default simpset instead of a supplied list of theorems.
 10559 
 10560 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
 10561 
 10562 * Simplifier: the type of the infix ML functions
 10563         setSSolver addSSolver setSolver addSolver
 10564 is now  simpset * solver -> simpset  where `solver' is a new abstract type
 10565 for packaging solvers. A solver is created via
 10566         mk_solver: string -> (thm list -> int -> tactic) -> solver
 10567 where the string argument is only a comment.
 10568 
 10569 
 10570 *** Proof tools ***
 10571 
 10572 * Provers/Arith/fast_lin_arith.ML contains a functor for creating a
 10573 decision procedure for linear arithmetic. Currently it is used for
 10574 types `nat', `int', and `real' in HOL (see below); it can, should and
 10575 will be instantiated for other types and logics as well.
 10576 
 10577 * The simplifier now accepts rewrite rules with flexible heads, eg
 10578      hom ?f ==> ?f(?x+?y) = ?f ?x + ?f ?y
 10579   They are applied like any rule with a non-pattern lhs, i.e. by first-order
 10580   matching.
 10581 
 10582 
 10583 *** General ***
 10584 
 10585 * New Isabelle/Isar subsystem provides an alternative to traditional
 10586 tactical theorem proving; together with the ProofGeneral/isar user
 10587 interface it offers an interactive environment for developing human
 10588 readable proof documents (Isar == Intelligible semi-automated
 10589 reasoning); for further information see isatool doc isar-ref,
 10590 src/HOL/Isar_examples and http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Isar/
 10591 
 10592 * improved and simplified presentation of theories: better HTML markup
 10593 (including colors), graph views in several sizes; isatool usedir now
 10594 provides a proper interface for user theories (via -P option); actual
 10595 document preparation based on (PDF)LaTeX is available as well (for
 10596 new-style theories only); see isatool doc system for more information;
 10597 
 10598 * native support for Proof General, both for classic Isabelle and
 10599 Isabelle/Isar;
 10600 
 10601 * ML function thm_deps visualizes dependencies of theorems and lemmas,
 10602 using the graph browser tool;
 10603 
 10604 * Isabelle manuals now also available as PDF;
 10605 
 10606 * theory loader rewritten from scratch (may not be fully
 10607 bug-compatible); old loadpath variable has been replaced by show_path,
 10608 add_path, del_path, reset_path functions; new operations such as
 10609 update_thy, touch_thy, remove_thy, use/update_thy_only (see also
 10610 isatool doc ref);
 10611 
 10612 * improved isatool install: option -k creates KDE application icon,
 10613 option -p DIR installs standalone binaries;
 10614 
 10615 * added ML_PLATFORM setting (useful for cross-platform installations);
 10616 more robust handling of platform specific ML images for SML/NJ;
 10617 
 10618 * the settings environment is now statically scoped, i.e. it is never
 10619 created again in sub-processes invoked from isabelle, isatool, or
 10620 Isabelle;
 10621 
 10622 * path element specification '~~' refers to '$ISABELLE_HOME';
 10623 
 10624 * in locales, the "assumes" and "defines" parts may be omitted if
 10625 empty;
 10626 
 10627 * new print_mode "xsymbols" for extended symbol support (e.g. genuine
 10628 long arrows);
 10629 
 10630 * new print_mode "HTML";
 10631 
 10632 * new flag show_tags controls display of tags of theorems (which are
 10633 basically just comments that may be attached by some tools);
 10634 
 10635 * Isamode 2.6 requires patch to accomodate change of Isabelle font
 10636 mode and goal output format:
 10637 
 10638 diff -r Isamode-2.6/elisp/isa-load.el Isamode/elisp/isa-load.el
 10639 244c244
 10640 <       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-msymbols" logic-name)
 10641 ---
 10642 >       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-misabelle_font" "-msymbols" logic-name)
 10643 diff -r Isabelle-2.6/elisp/isa-proofstate.el Isamode/elisp/isa-proofstate.el
 10644 181c181
 10645 < (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+$"
 10646 ---
 10647 > (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+"
 10648 
 10649 * function bind_thms stores lists of theorems (cf. bind_thm);
 10650 
 10651 * new shorthand tactics ftac, eatac, datac, fatac;
 10652 
 10653 * qed (and friends) now accept "" as result name; in that case the
 10654 theorem is not stored, but proper checks and presentation of the
 10655 result still apply;
 10656 
 10657 * theorem database now also indexes constants "Trueprop", "all",
 10658 "==>", "=="; thus thms_containing, findI etc. may retrieve more rules;
 10659 
 10660 
 10661 *** HOL ***
 10662 
 10663 ** HOL arithmetic **
 10664 
 10665 * There are now decision procedures for linear arithmetic over nat and
 10666 int:
 10667 
 10668 1. arith_tac copes with arbitrary formulae involving `=', `<', `<=',
 10669 `+', `-', `Suc', `min', `max' and numerical constants; other subterms
 10670 are treated as atomic; subformulae not involving type `nat' or `int'
 10671 are ignored; quantified subformulae are ignored unless they are
 10672 positive universal or negative existential. The tactic has to be
 10673 invoked by hand and can be a little bit slow. In particular, the
 10674 running time is exponential in the number of occurrences of `min' and
 10675 `max', and `-' on `nat'.
 10676 
 10677 2. fast_arith_tac is a cut-down version of arith_tac: it only takes
 10678 (negated) (in)equalities among the premises and the conclusion into
 10679 account (i.e. no compound formulae) and does not know about `min' and
 10680 `max', and `-' on `nat'. It is fast and is used automatically by the
 10681 simplifier.
 10682 
 10683 NB: At the moment, these decision procedures do not cope with mixed
 10684 nat/int formulae where the two parts interact, such as `m < n ==>
 10685 int(m) < int(n)'.
 10686 
 10687 * HOL/Numeral provides a generic theory of numerals (encoded
 10688 efficiently as bit strings); setup for types nat/int/real is in place;
 10689 INCOMPATIBILITY: since numeral syntax is now polymorphic, rather than
 10690 int, existing theories and proof scripts may require a few additional
 10691 type constraints;
 10692 
 10693 * integer division and remainder can now be performed on constant
 10694 arguments;
 10695 
 10696 * many properties of integer multiplication, division and remainder
 10697 are now available;
 10698 
 10699 * An interface to the Stanford Validity Checker (SVC) is available through the
 10700 tactic svc_tac.  Propositional tautologies and theorems of linear arithmetic
 10701 are proved automatically.  SVC must be installed separately, and its results
 10702 must be TAKEN ON TRUST (Isabelle does not check the proofs, but tags any
 10703 invocation of the underlying oracle).  For SVC see
 10704   http://verify.stanford.edu/SVC
 10705 
 10706 * IsaMakefile: the HOL-Real target now builds an actual image;
 10707 
 10708 
 10709 ** HOL misc **
 10710 
 10711 * HOL/Real/HahnBanach: the Hahn-Banach theorem for real vector spaces
 10712 (in Isabelle/Isar) -- by Gertrud Bauer;
 10713 
 10714 * HOL/BCV: generic model of bytecode verification, i.e. data-flow
 10715 analysis for assembly languages with subtypes;
 10716 
 10717 * HOL/TLA (Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions): major reorganization
 10718 -- avoids syntactic ambiguities and treats state, transition, and
 10719 temporal levels more uniformly; introduces INCOMPATIBILITIES due to
 10720 changed syntax and (many) tactics;
 10721 
 10722 * HOL/inductive: Now also handles more general introduction rules such
 10723   as "ALL y. (y, x) : r --> y : acc r ==> x : acc r"; monotonicity
 10724   theorems are now maintained within the theory (maintained via the
 10725   "mono" attribute);
 10726 
 10727 * HOL/datatype: Now also handles arbitrarily branching datatypes
 10728   (using function types) such as
 10729 
 10730   datatype 'a tree = Atom 'a | Branch "nat => 'a tree"
 10731 
 10732 * HOL/record: record_simproc (part of the default simpset) takes care
 10733 of selectors applied to updated records; record_split_tac is no longer
 10734 part of the default claset; update_defs may now be removed from the
 10735 simpset in many cases; COMPATIBILITY: old behavior achieved by
 10736 
 10737   claset_ref () := claset() addSWrapper record_split_wrapper;
 10738   Delsimprocs [record_simproc]
 10739 
 10740 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
 10741 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
 10742 
 10743 * HOL/recdef (TFL): 'congs' syntax now expects comma separated list of theorem
 10744 names rather than an ML expression;
 10745 
 10746 * HOL/defer_recdef (TFL): like recdef but the well-founded relation can be
 10747 supplied later.  Program schemes can be defined, such as
 10748     "While B C s = (if B s then While B C (C s) else s)"
 10749 where the well-founded relation can be chosen after B and C have been given.
 10750 
 10751 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
 10752 INCOMPATIBILITY: while [] and infix # syntax is still there, of
 10753 course, ML tools referring to List.list.op # etc. have to be adapted;
 10754 
 10755 * HOL_quantifiers flag superseded by "HOL" print mode, which is
 10756 disabled by default; run isabelle with option -m HOL to get back to
 10757 the original Gordon/HOL-style output;
 10758 
 10759 * HOL/Ord.thy: new bounded quantifier syntax (input only): ALL x<y. P,
 10760 ALL x<=y. P, EX x<y. P, EX x<=y. P;
 10761 
 10762 * HOL basic syntax simplified (more orthogonal): all variants of
 10763 All/Ex now support plain / symbolic / HOL notation; plain syntax for
 10764 Eps operator is provided as well: "SOME x. P[x]";
 10765 
 10766 * HOL/Sum.thy: sum_case has been moved to HOL/Datatype;
 10767 
 10768 * HOL/Univ.thy: infix syntax <*>, <+>, <**>, <+> eliminated and made
 10769 thus available for user theories;
 10770 
 10771 * HOLCF/IOA/Sequents: renamed 'Cons' to 'Consq' to avoid clash with
 10772 HOL/List; hardly an INCOMPATIBILITY since '>>' syntax is used all the
 10773 time;
 10774 
 10775 * HOL: new tactic smp_tac: int -> int -> tactic, which applies spec
 10776 several times and then mp;
 10777 
 10778 
 10779 *** LK ***
 10780 
 10781 * the notation <<...>> is now available as a notation for sequences of
 10782 formulas;
 10783 
 10784 * the simplifier is now installed
 10785 
 10786 * the axiom system has been generalized (thanks to Soren Heilmann)
 10787 
 10788 * the classical reasoner now has a default rule database
 10789 
 10790 
 10791 *** ZF ***
 10792 
 10793 * new primrec section allows primitive recursive functions to be given
 10794 directly (as in HOL) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
 10795 
 10796 * new tactics induct_tac and exhaust_tac for induction (or case
 10797 analysis) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
 10798 
 10799 * the datatype declaration of type T now defines the recursor T_rec;
 10800 
 10801 * simplification automatically does freeness reasoning for datatype
 10802 constructors;
 10803 
 10804 * automatic type-inference, with AddTCs command to insert new
 10805 type-checking rules;
 10806 
 10807 * datatype introduction rules are now added as Safe Introduction rules
 10808 to the claset;
 10809 
 10810 * the syntax "if P then x else y" is now available in addition to
 10811 if(P,x,y);
 10812 
 10813 
 10814 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
 10815 
 10816 * tuned simplifier trace output; new flag debug_simp;
 10817 
 10818 * structures Vartab / Termtab (instances of TableFun) offer efficient
 10819 tables indexed by indexname_ord / term_ord (compatible with aconv);
 10820 
 10821 * AxClass.axclass_tac lost the theory argument;
 10822 
 10823 * tuned current_goals_markers semantics: begin / end goal avoids
 10824 printing empty lines;
 10825 
 10826 * removed prs and prs_fn hook, which was broken because it did not
 10827 include \n in its semantics, forcing writeln to add one
 10828 uncoditionally; replaced prs_fn by writeln_fn; consider std_output:
 10829 string -> unit if you really want to output text without newline;
 10830 
 10831 * Symbol.output subject to print mode; INCOMPATIBILITY: defaults to
 10832 plain output, interface builders may have to enable 'isabelle_font'
 10833 mode to get Isabelle font glyphs as before;
 10834 
 10835 * refined token_translation interface; INCOMPATIBILITY: output length
 10836 now of type real instead of int;
 10837 
 10838 * theory loader actions may be traced via new ThyInfo.add_hook
 10839 interface (see src/Pure/Thy/thy_info.ML); example application: keep
 10840 your own database of information attached to *whole* theories -- as
 10841 opposed to intra-theory data slots offered via TheoryDataFun;
 10842 
 10843 * proper handling of dangling sort hypotheses (at last!);
 10844 Thm.strip_shyps and Drule.strip_shyps_warning take care of removing
 10845 extra sort hypotheses that can be witnessed from the type signature;
 10846 the force_strip_shyps flag is gone, any remaining shyps are simply
 10847 left in the theorem (with a warning issued by strip_shyps_warning);
 10848 
 10849 
 10850 
 10851 New in Isabelle98-1 (October 1998)
 10852 ----------------------------------
 10853 
 10854 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 10855 
 10856 * several changes of automated proof tools;
 10857 
 10858 * HOL: major changes to the inductive and datatype packages, including
 10859 some minor incompatibilities of theory syntax;
 10860 
 10861 * HOL: renamed r^-1 to 'converse' from 'inverse'; 'inj_onto' is now
 10862 called `inj_on';
 10863 
 10864 * HOL: removed duplicate thms in Arith:
 10865   less_imp_add_less  should be replaced by  trans_less_add1
 10866   le_imp_add_le      should be replaced by  trans_le_add1
 10867 
 10868 * HOL: unary minus is now overloaded (new type constraints may be
 10869 required);
 10870 
 10871 * HOL and ZF: unary minus for integers is now #- instead of #~.  In
 10872 ZF, expressions such as n#-1 must be changed to n#- 1, since #-1 is
 10873 now taken as an integer constant.
 10874 
 10875 * Pure: ML function 'theory_of' renamed to 'theory';
 10876 
 10877 
 10878 *** Proof tools ***
 10879 
 10880 * Simplifier:
 10881   1. Asm_full_simp_tac is now more aggressive.
 10882      1. It will sometimes reorient premises if that increases their power to
 10883         simplify.
 10884      2. It does no longer proceed strictly from left to right but may also
 10885         rotate premises to achieve further simplification.
 10886      For compatibility reasons there is now Asm_lr_simp_tac which is like the
 10887      old Asm_full_simp_tac in that it does not rotate premises.
 10888   2. The simplifier now knows a little bit about nat-arithmetic.
 10889 
 10890 * Classical reasoner: wrapper mechanism for the classical reasoner now
 10891 allows for selected deletion of wrappers, by introduction of names for
 10892 wrapper functionals.  This implies that addbefore, addSbefore,
 10893 addaltern, and addSaltern now take a pair (name, tactic) as argument,
 10894 and that adding two tactics with the same name overwrites the first
 10895 one (emitting a warning).
 10896   type wrapper = (int -> tactic) -> (int -> tactic)
 10897   setWrapper, setSWrapper, compWrapper and compSWrapper are replaced by
 10898   addWrapper, addSWrapper: claset * (string * wrapper) -> claset
 10899   delWrapper, delSWrapper: claset *  string            -> claset
 10900   getWrapper is renamed to appWrappers, getSWrapper to appSWrappers;
 10901 
 10902 * Classical reasoner: addbefore/addSbefore now have APPEND/ORELSE
 10903 semantics; addbefore now affects only the unsafe part of step_tac
 10904 etc.; this affects addss/auto_tac/force_tac, so EXISTING PROOFS MAY
 10905 FAIL, but proofs should be fixable easily, e.g. by replacing Auto_tac
 10906 by Force_tac;
 10907 
 10908 * Classical reasoner: setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to
 10909 compWrapper; added safe wrapper (and access functions for it);
 10910 
 10911 * HOL/split_all_tac is now much faster and fails if there is nothing
 10912 to split.  Some EXISTING PROOFS MAY REQUIRE ADAPTION because the order
 10913 and the names of the automatically generated variables have changed.
 10914 split_all_tac has moved within claset() from unsafe wrappers to safe
 10915 wrappers, which means that !!-bound variables are split much more
 10916 aggressively, and safe_tac and clarify_tac now split such variables.
 10917 If this splitting is not appropriate, use delSWrapper "split_all_tac".
 10918 Note: the same holds for record_split_tac, which does the job of
 10919 split_all_tac for record fields.
 10920 
 10921 * HOL/Simplifier: Rewrite rules for case distinctions can now be added
 10922 permanently to the default simpset using Addsplits just like
 10923 Addsimps. They can be removed via Delsplits just like
 10924 Delsimps. Lower-case versions are also available.
 10925 
 10926 * HOL/Simplifier: The rule split_if is now part of the default
 10927 simpset. This means that the simplifier will eliminate all occurrences
 10928 of if-then-else in the conclusion of a goal. To prevent this, you can
 10929 either remove split_if completely from the default simpset by
 10930 `Delsplits [split_if]' or remove it in a specific call of the
 10931 simplifier using `... delsplits [split_if]'.  You can also add/delete
 10932 other case splitting rules to/from the default simpset: every datatype
 10933 generates suitable rules `split_t_case' and `split_t_case_asm' (where
 10934 t is the name of the datatype).
 10935 
 10936 * Classical reasoner / Simplifier combination: new force_tac (and
 10937 derivatives Force_tac, force) combines rewriting and classical
 10938 reasoning (and whatever other tools) similarly to auto_tac, but is
 10939 aimed to solve the given subgoal completely.
 10940 
 10941 
 10942 *** General ***
 10943 
 10944 * new top-level commands `Goal' and `Goalw' that improve upon `goal'
 10945 and `goalw': the theory is no longer needed as an explicit argument -
 10946 the current theory context is used; assumptions are no longer returned
 10947 at the ML-level unless one of them starts with ==> or !!; it is
 10948 recommended to convert to these new commands using isatool fixgoal
 10949 (backup your sources first!);
 10950 
 10951 * new top-level commands 'thm' and 'thms' for retrieving theorems from
 10952 the current theory context, and 'theory' to lookup stored theories;
 10953 
 10954 * new theory section 'locale' for declaring constants, assumptions and
 10955 definitions that have local scope;
 10956 
 10957 * new theory section 'nonterminals' for purely syntactic types;
 10958 
 10959 * new theory section 'setup' for generic ML setup functions
 10960 (e.g. package initialization);
 10961 
 10962 * the distribution now includes Isabelle icons: see
 10963 lib/logo/isabelle-{small,tiny}.xpm;
 10964 
 10965 * isatool install - install binaries with absolute references to
 10966 ISABELLE_HOME/bin;
 10967 
 10968 * isatool logo -- create instances of the Isabelle logo (as EPS);
 10969 
 10970 * print mode 'emacs' reserved for Isamode;
 10971 
 10972 * support multiple print (ast) translations per constant name;
 10973 
 10974 * theorems involving oracles are now printed with a suffixed [!];
 10975 
 10976 
 10977 *** HOL ***
 10978 
 10979 * there is now a tutorial on Isabelle/HOL (do 'isatool doc tutorial');
 10980 
 10981 * HOL/inductive package reorganized and improved: now supports mutual
 10982 definitions such as
 10983 
 10984   inductive EVEN ODD
 10985     intrs
 10986       null "0 : EVEN"
 10987       oddI "n : EVEN ==> Suc n : ODD"
 10988       evenI "n : ODD ==> Suc n : EVEN"
 10989 
 10990 new theorem list "elims" contains an elimination rule for each of the
 10991 recursive sets; inductive definitions now handle disjunctive premises
 10992 correctly (also ZF);
 10993 
 10994 INCOMPATIBILITIES: requires Inductive as an ancestor; component
 10995 "mutual_induct" no longer exists - the induction rule is always
 10996 contained in "induct";
 10997 
 10998 
 10999 * HOL/datatype package re-implemented and greatly improved: now
 11000 supports mutually recursive datatypes such as
 11001 
 11002   datatype
 11003     'a aexp = IF_THEN_ELSE ('a bexp) ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 11004             | SUM ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 11005             | DIFF ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 11006             | NUM 'a
 11007   and
 11008     'a bexp = LESS ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 11009             | AND ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
 11010             | OR ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
 11011 
 11012 as well as indirectly recursive datatypes such as
 11013 
 11014   datatype
 11015     ('a, 'b) term = Var 'a
 11016                   | App 'b ((('a, 'b) term) list)
 11017 
 11018 The new tactic  mutual_induct_tac [<var_1>, ..., <var_n>] i  performs
 11019 induction on mutually / indirectly recursive datatypes.
 11020 
 11021 Primrec equations are now stored in theory and can be accessed via
 11022 <function_name>.simps.
 11023 
 11024 INCOMPATIBILITIES:
 11025 
 11026   - Theories using datatypes must now have theory Datatype as an
 11027     ancestor.
 11028   - The specific <typename>.induct_tac no longer exists - use the
 11029     generic induct_tac instead.
 11030   - natE has been renamed to nat.exhaust - use exhaust_tac
 11031     instead of res_inst_tac ... natE. Note that the variable
 11032     names in nat.exhaust differ from the names in natE, this
 11033     may cause some "fragile" proofs to fail.
 11034   - The theorems split_<typename>_case and split_<typename>_case_asm
 11035     have been renamed to <typename>.split and <typename>.split_asm.
 11036   - Since default sorts of type variables are now handled correctly,
 11037     some datatype definitions may have to be annotated with explicit
 11038     sort constraints.
 11039   - Primrec definitions no longer require function name and type
 11040     of recursive argument.
 11041 
 11042 Consider using isatool fixdatatype to adapt your theories and proof
 11043 scripts to the new package (backup your sources first!).
 11044 
 11045 
 11046 * HOL/record package: considerably improved implementation; now
 11047 includes concrete syntax for record types, terms, updates; theorems
 11048 for surjective pairing and splitting !!-bound record variables; proof
 11049 support is as follows:
 11050 
 11051   1) standard conversions (selectors or updates applied to record
 11052 constructor terms) are part of the standard simpset;
 11053 
 11054   2) inject equations of the form ((x, y) = (x', y')) == x=x' & y=y' are
 11055 made part of standard simpset and claset via addIffs;
 11056 
 11057   3) a tactic for record field splitting (record_split_tac) is part of
 11058 the standard claset (addSWrapper);
 11059 
 11060 To get a better idea about these rules you may retrieve them via
 11061 something like 'thms "foo.simps"' or 'thms "foo.iffs"', where "foo" is
 11062 the name of your record type.
 11063 
 11064 The split tactic 3) conceptually simplifies by the following rule:
 11065 
 11066   "(!!x. PROP ?P x) == (!!a b. PROP ?P (a, b))"
 11067 
 11068 Thus any record variable that is bound by meta-all will automatically
 11069 blow up into some record constructor term, consequently the
 11070 simplifications of 1), 2) apply.  Thus force_tac, auto_tac etc. shall
 11071 solve record problems automatically.
 11072 
 11073 
 11074 * reorganized the main HOL image: HOL/Integ and String loaded by
 11075 default; theory Main includes everything;
 11076 
 11077 * automatic simplification of integer sums and comparisons, using cancellation;
 11078 
 11079 * added option_map_eq_Some and not_Some_eq to the default simpset and claset;
 11080 
 11081 * added disj_not1 = "(~P | Q) = (P --> Q)" to the default simpset;
 11082 
 11083 * many new identities for unions, intersections, set difference, etc.;
 11084 
 11085 * expand_if, expand_split, expand_sum_case and expand_nat_case are now
 11086 called split_if, split_split, split_sum_case and split_nat_case (to go
 11087 with add/delsplits);
 11088 
 11089 * HOL/Prod introduces simplification procedure unit_eq_proc rewriting
 11090 (?x::unit) = (); this is made part of the default simpset, which COULD
 11091 MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL under rare circumstances (consider
 11092 'Delsimprocs [unit_eq_proc];' as last resort); also note that
 11093 unit_abs_eta_conv is added in order to counter the effect of
 11094 unit_eq_proc on (%u::unit. f u), replacing it by f rather than by
 11095 %u.f();
 11096 
 11097 * HOL/Fun INCOMPATIBILITY: `inj_onto' is now called `inj_on' (which
 11098 makes more sense);
 11099 
 11100 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 11101   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 11102   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 11103 
 11104 * HOL/Relation INCOMPATIBILITY: renamed the relational operator r^-1
 11105 to 'converse' from 'inverse' (for compatibility with ZF and some
 11106 literature);
 11107 
 11108 * HOL/recdef can now declare non-recursive functions, with {} supplied as
 11109 the well-founded relation;
 11110 
 11111 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: the complement of set A is now written -A instead of
 11112     Compl A.  The "Compl" syntax remains available as input syntax for this
 11113     release ONLY.
 11114 
 11115 * HOL/Update: new theory of function updates:
 11116     f(a:=b) == %x. if x=a then b else f x
 11117 may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 11118 
 11119 * HOL/Vimage: new theory for inverse image of a function, syntax f-``B;
 11120 
 11121 * HOL/List:
 11122   - new function list_update written xs[i:=v] that updates the i-th
 11123     list position. May also be iterated as in xs[i:=a,j:=b,...].
 11124   - new function `upt' written [i..j(] which generates the list
 11125     [i,i+1,...,j-1], i.e. the upper bound is excluded. To include the upper
 11126     bound write [i..j], which is a shorthand for [i..j+1(].
 11127   - new lexicographic orderings and corresponding wellfoundedness theorems.
 11128 
 11129 * HOL/Arith:
 11130   - removed 'pred' (predecessor) function;
 11131   - generalized some theorems about n-1;
 11132   - many new laws about "div" and "mod";
 11133   - new laws about greatest common divisors (see theory ex/Primes);
 11134 
 11135 * HOL/Relation: renamed the relational operator r^-1 "converse"
 11136 instead of "inverse";
 11137 
 11138 * HOL/Induct/Multiset: a theory of multisets, including the wellfoundedness
 11139   of the multiset ordering;
 11140 
 11141 * directory HOL/Real: a construction of the reals using Dedekind cuts
 11142   (not included by default);
 11143 
 11144 * directory HOL/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY formalism;
 11145 
 11146 * directory HOL/Hoare: a new version of Hoare logic which permits many-sorted
 11147   programs, i.e. different program variables may have different types.
 11148 
 11149 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 11150   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 11151   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 11152 
 11153 
 11154 *** ZF ***
 11155 
 11156 * theory Main includes everything; INCOMPATIBILITY: theory ZF.thy contains
 11157   only the theorems proved on ZF.ML;
 11158 
 11159 * ZF INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 11160   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 11161   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 11162 
 11163 * ZF/Update: new theory of function updates
 11164     with default rewrite rule  f(x:=y) ` z = if(z=x, y, f`z)
 11165   may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 11166 
 11167 * in  let x=t in u(x), neither t nor u(x) has to be an FOL term.
 11168 
 11169 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 11170   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 11171   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 11172 
 11173 * case_tac provided for compatibility with HOL
 11174     (like the old excluded_middle_tac, but with subgoals swapped)
 11175 
 11176 
 11177 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
 11178 
 11179 * Pure: several new basic modules made available for general use, see
 11180 also src/Pure/README;
 11181 
 11182 * improved the theory data mechanism to support encapsulation (data
 11183 kind name replaced by private Object.kind, acting as authorization
 11184 key); new type-safe user interface via functor TheoryDataFun; generic
 11185 print_data function becomes basically useless;
 11186 
 11187 * removed global_names compatibility flag -- all theory declarations
 11188 are qualified by default;
 11189 
 11190 * module Pure/Syntax now offers quote / antiquote translation
 11191 functions (useful for Hoare logic etc. with implicit dependencies);
 11192 see HOL/ex/Antiquote for an example use;
 11193 
 11194 * Simplifier now offers conversions (asm_)(full_)rewrite: simpset ->
 11195 cterm -> thm;
 11196 
 11197 * new tactical CHANGED_GOAL for checking that a tactic modifies a
 11198 subgoal;
 11199 
 11200 * Display.print_goals function moved to Locale.print_goals;
 11201 
 11202 * standard print function for goals supports current_goals_markers
 11203 variable for marking begin of proof, end of proof, start of goal; the
 11204 default is ("", "", ""); setting current_goals_markers := ("<proof>",
 11205 "</proof>", "<goal>") causes SGML like tagged proof state printing,
 11206 for example;
 11207 
 11208 
 11209 
 11210 New in Isabelle98 (January 1998)
 11211 --------------------------------
 11212 
 11213 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 11214 
 11215 * changed lexical syntax of terms / types: dots made part of long
 11216 identifiers, e.g. "%x.x" no longer possible, should be "%x. x";
 11217 
 11218 * simpset (and claset) reference variable replaced by functions
 11219 simpset / simpset_ref;
 11220 
 11221 * no longer supports theory aliases (via merge) and non-trivial
 11222 implicit merge of thms' signatures;
 11223 
 11224 * most internal names of constants changed due to qualified names;
 11225 
 11226 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML);
 11227 
 11228 
 11229 *** General Changes ***
 11230 
 11231 * hierachically structured name spaces (for consts, types, axms, thms
 11232 etc.); new lexical class 'longid' (e.g. Foo.bar.x) may render much of
 11233 old input syntactically incorrect (e.g. "%x.x"); COMPATIBILITY:
 11234 isatool fixdots ensures space after dots (e.g. "%x. x"); set
 11235 long_names for fully qualified output names; NOTE: ML programs
 11236 (special tactics, packages etc.) referring to internal names may have
 11237 to be adapted to cope with fully qualified names; in case of severe
 11238 backward campatibility problems try setting 'global_names' at compile
 11239 time to have enrything declared within a flat name space; one may also
 11240 fine tune name declarations in theories via the 'global' and 'local'
 11241 section;
 11242 
 11243 * reimplemented the implicit simpset and claset using the new anytype
 11244 data filed in signatures; references simpset:simpset ref etc. are
 11245 replaced by functions simpset:unit->simpset and
 11246 simpset_ref:unit->simpset ref; COMPATIBILITY: use isatool fixclasimp
 11247 to patch your ML files accordingly;
 11248 
 11249 * HTML output now includes theory graph data for display with Java
 11250 applet or isatool browser; data generated automatically via isatool
 11251 usedir (see -i option, ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS);
 11252 
 11253 * defs may now be conditional; improved rewrite_goals_tac to handle
 11254 conditional equations;
 11255 
 11256 * defs now admits additional type arguments, using TYPE('a) syntax;
 11257 
 11258 * theory aliases via merge (e.g. M=A+B+C) no longer supported, always
 11259 creates a new theory node; implicit merge of thms' signatures is
 11260 restricted to 'trivial' ones; COMPATIBILITY: one may have to use
 11261 transfer:theory->thm->thm in (rare) cases;
 11262 
 11263 * improved handling of draft signatures / theories; draft thms (and
 11264 ctyps, cterms) are automatically promoted to real ones;
 11265 
 11266 * slightly changed interfaces for oracles: admit many per theory, named
 11267 (e.g. oracle foo = mlfun), additional name argument for invoke_oracle;
 11268 
 11269 * print_goals: optional output of const types (set show_consts and
 11270 show_types);
 11271 
 11272 * improved output of warnings (###) and errors (***);
 11273 
 11274 * subgoal_tac displays a warning if the new subgoal has type variables;
 11275 
 11276 * removed old README and Makefiles;
 11277 
 11278 * replaced print_goals_ref hook by print_current_goals_fn and result_error_fn;
 11279 
 11280 * removed obsolete init_pps and init_database;
 11281 
 11282 * deleted the obsolete tactical STATE, which was declared by
 11283     fun STATE tacfun st = tacfun st st;
 11284 
 11285 * cd and use now support path variables, e.g. $ISABELLE_HOME, or ~
 11286 (which abbreviates $HOME);
 11287 
 11288 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML); COMPATIBILITY:
 11289 use isatool fixseq to adapt your ML programs (this works for fully
 11290 qualified references to the Sequence structure only!);
 11291 
 11292 * use_thy no longer requires writable current directory; it always
 11293 reloads .ML *and* .thy file, if either one is out of date;
 11294 
 11295 
 11296 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 11297 
 11298 * Clarify_tac, clarify_tac, clarify_step_tac, Clarify_step_tac: new
 11299 tactics that use classical reasoning to simplify a subgoal without
 11300 splitting it into several subgoals;
 11301 
 11302 * Safe_tac: like safe_tac but uses the default claset;
 11303 
 11304 
 11305 *** Simplifier ***
 11306 
 11307 * added simplification meta rules:
 11308     (asm_)(full_)simplify: simpset -> thm -> thm;
 11309 
 11310 * simplifier.ML no longer part of Pure -- has to be loaded by object
 11311 logics (again);
 11312 
 11313 * added prems argument to simplification procedures;
 11314 
 11315 * HOL, FOL, ZF: added infix function `addsplits':
 11316   instead of `<simpset> setloop (split_tac <thms>)'
 11317   you can simply write `<simpset> addsplits <thms>'
 11318 
 11319 
 11320 *** Syntax ***
 11321 
 11322 * TYPE('a) syntax for type reflection terms;
 11323 
 11324 * no longer handles consts with name "" -- declare as 'syntax' instead;
 11325 
 11326 * pretty printer: changed order of mixfix annotation preference (again!);
 11327 
 11328 * Pure: fixed idt/idts vs. pttrn/pttrns syntactic categories;
 11329 
 11330 
 11331 *** HOL ***
 11332 
 11333 * HOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 11334   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 11335 
 11336 * HOL/TLA: Stephan Merz's formalization of Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions;
 11337 
 11338 * HOL/Auth: new protocol proofs including some for the Internet
 11339   protocol TLS;
 11340 
 11341 * HOL/Map: new theory of `maps' a la VDM;
 11342 
 11343 * HOL/simplifier: simplification procedures nat_cancel_sums for
 11344 cancelling out common nat summands from =, <, <= (in)equalities, or
 11345 differences; simplification procedures nat_cancel_factor for
 11346 cancelling common factor from =, <, <= (in)equalities over natural
 11347 sums; nat_cancel contains both kinds of procedures, it is installed by
 11348 default in Arith.thy -- this COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL;
 11349 
 11350 * HOL/simplifier: terms of the form
 11351   `? x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x)'  (or t=x)
 11352   are rewritten to
 11353   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t)',
 11354   and those of the form
 11355   `! x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x) --> R(x)'  (or t=x)
 11356   are rewritten to
 11357   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t) --> R(t)',
 11358 
 11359 * HOL/datatype
 11360   Each datatype `t' now comes with a theorem `split_t_case' of the form
 11361 
 11362   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 11363      ( (!y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 --> P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) &
 11364         ...
 11365        (!y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn --> P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 11366      )
 11367 
 11368   and a theorem `split_t_case_asm' of the form
 11369 
 11370   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 11371     ~( (? y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 & ~P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) |
 11372         ...
 11373        (? y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn & ~P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 11374      )
 11375   which can be added to a simpset via `addsplits'. The existing theorems
 11376   expand_list_case and expand_option_case have been renamed to
 11377   split_list_case and split_option_case.
 11378 
 11379 * HOL/Arithmetic:
 11380   - `pred n' is automatically converted to `n-1'.
 11381     Users are strongly encouraged not to use `pred' any longer,
 11382     because it will disappear altogether at some point.
 11383   - Users are strongly encouraged to write "0 < n" rather than
 11384     "n ~= 0". Theorems and proof tools have been modified towards this
 11385     `standard'.
 11386 
 11387 * HOL/Lists:
 11388   the function "set_of_list" has been renamed "set" (and its theorems too);
 11389   the function "nth" now takes its arguments in the reverse order and
 11390   has acquired the infix notation "!" as in "xs!n".
 11391 
 11392 * HOL/Set: UNIV is now a constant and is no longer translated to Compl{};
 11393 
 11394 * HOL/Set: The operator (UN x.B x) now abbreviates (UN x:UNIV. B x) and its
 11395   specialist theorems (like UN1_I) are gone.  Similarly for (INT x.B x);
 11396 
 11397 * HOL/record: extensible records with schematic structural subtyping
 11398 (single inheritance); EXPERIMENTAL version demonstrating the encoding,
 11399 still lacks various theorems and concrete record syntax;
 11400 
 11401 
 11402 *** HOLCF ***
 11403 
 11404 * removed "axioms" and "generated by" sections;
 11405 
 11406 * replaced "ops" section by extended "consts" section, which is capable of
 11407   handling the continuous function space "->" directly;
 11408 
 11409 * domain package:
 11410   . proves theorems immediately and stores them in the theory,
 11411   . creates hierachical name space,
 11412   . now uses normal mixfix annotations (instead of cinfix...),
 11413   . minor changes to some names and values (for consistency),
 11414   . e.g. cases -> casedist, dists_eq -> dist_eqs, [take_lemma] -> take_lemmas,
 11415   . separator between mutual domain defs: changed "," to "and",
 11416   . improved handling of sort constraints;  now they have to
 11417     appear on the left-hand side of the equations only;
 11418 
 11419 * fixed LAM <x,y,zs>.b syntax;
 11420 
 11421 * added extended adm_tac to simplifier in HOLCF -- can now discharge
 11422 adm (%x. P (t x)), where P is chainfinite and t continuous;
 11423 
 11424 
 11425 *** FOL and ZF ***
 11426 
 11427 * FOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 11428   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 11429 
 11430 * qed_spec_mp, qed_goal_spec_mp, qed_goalw_spec_mp are available, as
 11431 in HOL, they strip ALL and --> from proved theorems;
 11432 
 11433 
 11434 
 11435 New in Isabelle94-8 (May 1997)
 11436 ------------------------------
 11437 
 11438 *** General Changes ***
 11439 
 11440 * new utilities to build / run / maintain Isabelle etc. (in parts
 11441 still somewhat experimental); old Makefiles etc. still functional;
 11442 
 11443 * new 'Isabelle System Manual';
 11444 
 11445 * INSTALL text, together with ./configure and ./build scripts;
 11446 
 11447 * reimplemented type inference for greater efficiency, better error
 11448 messages and clean internal interface;
 11449 
 11450 * prlim command for dealing with lots of subgoals (an easier way of
 11451 setting goals_limit);
 11452 
 11453 
 11454 *** Syntax ***
 11455 
 11456 * supports alternative (named) syntax tables (parser and pretty
 11457 printer); internal interface is provided by add_modesyntax(_i);
 11458 
 11459 * Pure, FOL, ZF, HOL, HOLCF now support symbolic input and output; to
 11460 be used in conjunction with the Isabelle symbol font; uses the
 11461 "symbols" syntax table;
 11462 
 11463 * added token_translation interface (may translate name tokens in
 11464 arbitrary ways, dependent on their type (free, bound, tfree, ...) and
 11465 the current print_mode); IMPORTANT: user print translation functions
 11466 are responsible for marking newly introduced bounds
 11467 (Syntax.mark_boundT);
 11468 
 11469 * token translations for modes "xterm" and "xterm_color" that display
 11470 names in bold, underline etc. or colors (which requires a color
 11471 version of xterm);
 11472 
 11473 * infixes may now be declared with names independent of their syntax;
 11474 
 11475 * added typed_print_translation (like print_translation, but may
 11476 access type of constant);
 11477 
 11478 
 11479 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 11480 
 11481 Blast_tac: a new tactic!  It is often more powerful than fast_tac, but has
 11482 some limitations.  Blast_tac...
 11483   + ignores addss, addbefore, addafter; this restriction is intrinsic
 11484   + ignores elimination rules that don't have the correct format
 11485         (the conclusion MUST be a formula variable)
 11486   + ignores types, which can make HOL proofs fail
 11487   + rules must not require higher-order unification, e.g. apply_type in ZF
 11488     [message "Function Var's argument not a bound variable" relates to this]
 11489   + its proof strategy is more general but can actually be slower
 11490 
 11491 * substitution with equality assumptions no longer permutes other
 11492 assumptions;
 11493 
 11494 * minor changes in semantics of addafter (now called addaltern); renamed
 11495 setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to compWrapper; added safe wrapper
 11496 (and access functions for it);
 11497 
 11498 * improved combination of classical reasoner and simplifier:
 11499   + functions for handling clasimpsets
 11500   + improvement of addss: now the simplifier is called _after_ the
 11501     safe steps.
 11502   + safe variant of addss called addSss: uses safe simplifications
 11503     _during_ the safe steps. It is more complete as it allows multiple
 11504     instantiations of unknowns (e.g. with slow_tac).
 11505 
 11506 *** Simplifier ***
 11507 
 11508 * added interface for simplification procedures (functions that
 11509 produce *proven* rewrite rules on the fly, depending on current
 11510 redex);
 11511 
 11512 * ordering on terms as parameter (used for ordered rewriting);
 11513 
 11514 * new functions delcongs, deleqcongs, and Delcongs. richer rep_ss;
 11515 
 11516 * the solver is now split into a safe and an unsafe part.
 11517 This should be invisible for the normal user, except that the
 11518 functions setsolver and addsolver have been renamed to setSolver and
 11519 addSolver; added safe_asm_full_simp_tac;
 11520 
 11521 
 11522 *** HOL ***
 11523 
 11524 * a generic induction tactic `induct_tac' which works for all datatypes and
 11525 also for type `nat';
 11526 
 11527 * a generic case distinction tactic `exhaust_tac' which works for all
 11528 datatypes and also for type `nat';
 11529 
 11530 * each datatype comes with a function `size';
 11531 
 11532 * patterns in case expressions allow tuple patterns as arguments to
 11533 constructors, for example `case x of [] => ... | (x,y,z)#ps => ...';
 11534 
 11535 * primrec now also works with type nat;
 11536 
 11537 * recdef: a new declaration form, allows general recursive functions to be
 11538 defined in theory files.  See HOL/ex/Fib, HOL/ex/Primes, HOL/Subst/Unify.
 11539 
 11540 * the constant for negation has been renamed from "not" to "Not" to
 11541 harmonize with FOL, ZF, LK, etc.;
 11542 
 11543 * HOL/ex/LFilter theory of a corecursive "filter" functional for
 11544 infinite lists;
 11545 
 11546 * HOL/Modelcheck demonstrates invocation of model checker oracle;
 11547 
 11548 * HOL/ex/Ring.thy declares cring_simp, which solves equational
 11549 problems in commutative rings, using axiomatic type classes for + and *;
 11550 
 11551 * more examples in HOL/MiniML and HOL/Auth;
 11552 
 11553 * more default rewrite rules for quantifiers, union/intersection;
 11554 
 11555 * a new constant `arbitrary == @x.False';
 11556 
 11557 * HOLCF/IOA replaces old HOL/IOA;
 11558 
 11559 * HOLCF changes: derived all rules and arities
 11560   + axiomatic type classes instead of classes
 11561   + typedef instead of faking type definitions
 11562   + eliminated the internal constants less_fun, less_cfun, UU_fun, UU_cfun etc.
 11563   + new axclasses cpo, chfin, flat with flat < chfin < pcpo < cpo < po
 11564   + eliminated the types void, one, tr
 11565   + use unit lift and bool lift (with translations) instead of one and tr
 11566   + eliminated blift from Lift3.thy (use Def instead of blift)
 11567   all eliminated rules are derived as theorems --> no visible changes ;
 11568 
 11569 
 11570 *** ZF ***
 11571 
 11572 * ZF now has Fast_tac, Simp_tac and Auto_tac.  Union_iff is a now a default
 11573 rewrite rule; this may affect some proofs.  eq_cs is gone but can be put back
 11574 as ZF_cs addSIs [equalityI];
 11575 
 11576 
 11577 
 11578 New in Isabelle94-7 (November 96)
 11579 ---------------------------------
 11580 
 11581 * allowing negative levels (as offsets) in prlev and choplev;
 11582 
 11583 * super-linear speedup for large simplifications;
 11584 
 11585 * FOL, ZF and HOL now use miniscoping: rewriting pushes
 11586 quantifications in as far as possible (COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS
 11587 FAIL); can suppress it using the command Delsimps (ex_simps @
 11588 all_simps); De Morgan laws are also now included, by default;
 11589 
 11590 * improved printing of ==>  :  ~:
 11591 
 11592 * new object-logic "Sequents" adds linear logic, while replacing LK
 11593 and Modal (thanks to Sara Kalvala);
 11594 
 11595 * HOL/Auth: correctness proofs for authentication protocols;
 11596 
 11597 * HOL: new auto_tac combines rewriting and classical reasoning (many
 11598 examples on HOL/Auth);
 11599 
 11600 * HOL: new command AddIffs for declaring theorems of the form P=Q to
 11601 the rewriter and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 11602 
 11603 * function uresult no longer returns theorems in "standard" format;
 11604 regain previous version by: val uresult = standard o uresult;
 11605 
 11606 
 11607 
 11608 New in Isabelle94-6
 11609 -------------------
 11610 
 11611 * oracles -- these establish an interface between Isabelle and trusted
 11612 external reasoners, which may deliver results as theorems;
 11613 
 11614 * proof objects (in particular record all uses of oracles);
 11615 
 11616 * Simp_tac, Fast_tac, etc. that refer to implicit simpset / claset;
 11617 
 11618 * "constdefs" section in theory files;
 11619 
 11620 * "primrec" section (HOL) no longer requires names;
 11621 
 11622 * internal type "tactic" now simply "thm -> thm Sequence.seq";
 11623 
 11624 
 11625 
 11626 New in Isabelle94-5
 11627 -------------------
 11628 
 11629 * reduced space requirements;
 11630 
 11631 * automatic HTML generation from theories;
 11632 
 11633 * theory files no longer require "..." (quotes) around most types;
 11634 
 11635 * new examples, including two proofs of the Church-Rosser theorem;
 11636 
 11637 * non-curried (1994) version of HOL is no longer distributed;
 11638 
 11639 
 11640 
 11641 New in Isabelle94-4
 11642 -------------------
 11643 
 11644 * greatly reduced space requirements;
 11645 
 11646 * theory files (.thy) no longer require \...\ escapes at line breaks;
 11647 
 11648 * searchable theorem database (see the section "Retrieving theorems" on
 11649 page 8 of the Reference Manual);
 11650 
 11651 * new examples, including Grabczewski's monumental case study of the
 11652 Axiom of Choice;
 11653 
 11654 * The previous version of HOL renamed to Old_HOL;
 11655 
 11656 * The new version of HOL (previously called CHOL) uses a curried syntax
 11657 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b);
 11658 
 11659 * Mutually recursive inductive definitions finally work in HOL;
 11660 
 11661 * In ZF, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions and
 11662 translates to the operator "split";
 11663 
 11664 
 11665 
 11666 New in Isabelle94-3
 11667 -------------------
 11668 
 11669 * new infix operator, addss, allowing the classical reasoner to
 11670 perform simplification at each step of its search.  Example:
 11671         fast_tac (cs addss ss)
 11672 
 11673 * a new logic, CHOL, the same as HOL, but with a curried syntax
 11674 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b).  Also pairs
 11675 look like (a,b) instead of <a,b>;
 11676 
 11677 * PLEASE NOTE: CHOL will eventually replace HOL!
 11678 
 11679 * In CHOL, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions.
 11680 It translates to the operator "split".  A new theory of integers is available;
 11681 
 11682 * In ZF, integer numerals now denote two's-complement binary integers.
 11683 Arithmetic operations can be performed by rewriting.  See ZF/ex/Bin.ML;
 11684 
 11685 * Many new examples: I/O automata, Church-Rosser theorem, equivalents
 11686 of the Axiom of Choice;
 11687 
 11688 
 11689 
 11690 New in Isabelle94-2
 11691 -------------------
 11692 
 11693 * Significantly faster resolution;
 11694 
 11695 * the different sections in a .thy file can now be mixed and repeated
 11696 freely;
 11697 
 11698 * Database of theorems for FOL, HOL and ZF.  New
 11699 commands including qed, qed_goal and bind_thm store theorems in the database.
 11700 
 11701 * Simple database queries: return a named theorem (get_thm) or all theorems of
 11702 a given theory (thms_of), or find out what theory a theorem was proved in
 11703 (theory_of_thm);
 11704 
 11705 * Bugs fixed in the inductive definition and datatype packages;
 11706 
 11707 * The classical reasoner provides deepen_tac and depth_tac, making FOL_dup_cs
 11708 and HOL_dup_cs obsolete;
 11709 
 11710 * Syntactic ambiguities caused by the new treatment of syntax in Isabelle94-1
 11711 have been removed;
 11712 
 11713 * Simpler definition of function space in ZF;
 11714 
 11715 * new results about cardinal and ordinal arithmetic in ZF;
 11716 
 11717 * 'subtype' facility in HOL for introducing new types as subsets of existing
 11718 types;
 11719 
 11720 :mode=isabelle-news:wrap=hard:maxLineLen=72:
