     1 Isabelle NEWS -- history user-relevant changes
     2 ==============================================
     3 
     4 New in this Isabelle version
     5 ----------------------------
     6 
     7 *** General ***
     8 
     9 * Document antiquotation @{url} produces markup for the given URL,
    10 which results in an active hyperlink within the text.
    11 
    12 * Document antiquotation @{file_unchecked} is like @{file}, but does
    13 not check existence within the file-system.
    14 
    15 * Discontinued legacy_isub_isup, which was a temporary Isabelle/ML
    16 workaround in Isabelle2013-1.  The prover process no longer accepts
    17 old identifier syntax with \<^isub> or \<^isup>.
    18 
    19 * Syntax of document antiquotation @{rail} now uses \<newline> instead
    20 of "\\", to avoid the optical illusion of escaped backslash within
    21 string token.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    22 
    23 * Lexical syntax (inner and outer) supports text cartouches with
    24 arbitrary nesting, and without escapes of quotes etc.  The Prover IDE
    25 supports input via ` (backquote).
    26 
    27 * The outer syntax categories "text" (for formal comments and document
    28 markup commands) and "altstring" (for literal fact references) allow
    29 cartouches as well, in addition to the traditional mix of quotations.
    30 
    31 * More static checking of proof methods, which allows the system to
    32 form a closure over the concrete syntax.  Method arguments should be
    33 processed in the original proof context as far as possible, before
    34 operating on the goal state.  In any case, the standard discipline for
    35 subgoal-addressing needs to be observed: no subgoals or a subgoal
    36 number that is out of range produces an empty result sequence, not an
    37 exception.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for non-conformant tactical
    38 proof tools.
    39 
    40 * Support for official Standard ML within the Isabelle context.
    41 Command 'SML_file' reads and evaluates the given Standard ML file.
    42 Toplevel bindings are stored within the theory context; the initial
    43 environment is restricted to the Standard ML implementation of
    44 Poly/ML, without the add-ons of Isabelle/ML.  Commands 'SML_import'
    45 and 'SML_export' allow to exchange toplevel bindings between the two
    46 separate environments.  See also ~~/src/Tools/SML/Examples.thy for
    47 some examples.
    48 
    49 
    50 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
    51 
    52 * Improved syntactic and semantic completion mechanism:
    53 
    54   - No completion for Isar keywords that have already been recognized
    55     by the prover, e.g. ":" within accepted Isar syntax looses its
    56     meaning as abbreviation for symbol "\<in>".
    57 
    58   - Completion context provides information about embedded languages
    59     of Isabelle: keywords are only completed for outer syntax, symbols
    60     or antiquotations for languages that support them.  E.g. no symbol
    61     completion for ML source, but within ML strings, comments,
    62     antiquotations.
    63 
    64   - Support for semantic completion based on failed name space lookup.
    65     The error produced by the prover contains information about
    66     alternative names that are accessible in a particular position.
    67     This may be used with explicit completion (C+b) or implicit
    68     completion after some delay.
    69 
    70   - Semantic completions may get extended by appending a suffix of
    71     underscores to an already recognized name, e.g. "foo_" to complete
    72     "foo" or "foobar" if these are known in the context.  The special
    73     identifier "__" serves as a wild-card in this respect: it
    74     completes to the full collection of names from the name space
    75     (truncated according to the system option "completion_limit").
    76 
    77   - Syntax completion of the editor and semantic completion of the
    78     prover are merged.  Since the latter requires a full round-trip of
    79     document update to arrive, the default for option
    80     jedit_completion_delay has been changed to 0.5s to improve the
    81     user experience.
    82 
    83   - Option jedit_completion_immediate may now get used with
    84     jedit_completion_delay > 0, to complete symbol abbreviations
    85     aggressively while benefiting from combined syntactic and semantic
    86     completion.
    87 
    88   - Support for simple completion templates (with single
    89     place-holder), e.g. "`" for text cartouche, or "@{" for
    90     antiquotation.
    91 
    92   - Support for path completion within the formal text, based on
    93     file-system content.
    94 
    95   - Improved treatment of completion vs. various forms of jEdit text
    96     selection (multiple selections, rectangular selections,
    97     rectangular selection as "tall caret").
    98 
    99   - More reliable treatment of GUI events vs. completion popups: avoid
   100     loosing keystrokes with slow / remote graphics displays.
   101 
   102 * Integrated spell-checker for document text, comments etc. with
   103 completion popup and context-menu.  See also "Plugin Options /
   104 Isabelle / General / Spell Checker" for some system options.
   105 
   106 * Auxiliary files ('ML_file' etc.) are managed by the Prover IDE.
   107 Open text buffers take precedence over copies within the file-system.
   108 
   109 * Improved support for Isabelle/ML, with jEdit mode "isabelle-ml" for
   110 auxiliary ML files.
   111 
   112 * Document panel: simplied interaction where every single mouse click
   113 (re)opens document via desktop environment or as jEdit buffer.
   114 
   115 * More general "Query" panel supersedes "Find" panel, with GUI access
   116 to commands 'find_theorems' and 'find_consts', as well as print
   117 operations for the context.  Minor incompatibility in keyboard
   118 shortcuts etc.: replace action isabelle-find by isabelle-query.
   119 
   120 * Search field for all output panels ("Output", "Query", "Info" etc.)
   121 to highlight text via regular expression.
   122 
   123 * Option "jedit_print_mode" (see also "Plugin Options / Isabelle /
   124 General") allows to specify additional print modes for the prover
   125 process, without requiring old-fashioned command-line invocation of
   126 "isabelle jedit -m MODE".
   127 
   128 * New panel: Simplifier trace.  Provides an interactive view of the
   129 simplification process, enabled by the newly-introduced
   130 "simplifier_trace" declaration.
   131 
   132 * Support for Navigator plugin (with toolbar buttons).
   133 
   134 * More support for remote files (e.g. http) using standard Java
   135 networking operations instead of jEdit virtual file-systems.
   136 
   137 * Improved Console/Scala plugin: more uniform scala.Console output,
   138 more robust treatment of threads and interrupts.
   139 
   140 
   141 *** Pure ***
   142 
   143 * Basic constants of Pure use more conventional names and are always
   144 qualified.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY, but with potentially serious
   145 consequences, notably for tools in Isabelle/ML.  The following
   146 renaming needs to be applied:
   147 
   148   ==             ~>  Pure.eq
   149   ==>            ~>  Pure.imp
   150   all            ~>  Pure.all
   151   TYPE           ~>  Pure.type
   152   dummy_pattern  ~>  Pure.dummy_pattern
   153 
   154 Systematic porting works by using the following theory setup on a
   155 *previous* Isabelle version to introduce the new name accesses for the
   156 old constants:
   157 
   158 setup {*
   159   fn thy => thy
   160     |> Sign.root_path
   161     |> Sign.const_alias (Binding.qualify true "Pure" @{binding eq}) "=="
   162     |> Sign.const_alias (Binding.qualify true "Pure" @{binding imp}) "==>"
   163     |> Sign.const_alias (Binding.qualify true "Pure" @{binding all}) "all"
   164     |> Sign.restore_naming thy
   165 *}
   166 
   167 Thus ML antiquotations like @{const_name Pure.eq} may be used already.
   168 Later the application is moved to the current Isabelle version, and
   169 the auxiliary aliases are deleted.
   170 
   171 * Low-level type-class commands 'classes', 'classrel', 'arities' have
   172 been discontinued to avoid the danger of non-trivial axiomatization
   173 that is not immediately visible.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use regular
   174 'instance' with proof.  The required OFCLASS(...) theorem might be
   175 postulated via 'axiomatization' beforehand, or the proof finished
   176 trivially if the underlying class definition is made vacuous (without
   177 any assumptions).  See also Isabelle/ML operations
   178 Axclass.axiomatize_class, Axclass.axiomatize_classrel,
   179 Axclass.axiomatize_arity.
   180 
   181 * Attributes "where" and "of" allow an optional context of local
   182 variables ('for' declaration): these variables become schematic in the
   183 instantiated theorem.
   184 
   185 * Obsolete attribute "standard" has been discontinued (legacy since
   186 Isabelle2012).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use explicit 'for' context
   187 where instantiations with schematic variables are intended (for
   188 declaration commands like 'lemmas' or attributes like "of").  The
   189 following temporary definition may help to port old applications:
   190 
   191   attribute_setup standard =
   192     "Scan.succeed (Thm.rule_attribute (K Drule.export_without_context))"
   193 
   194 * More thorough check of proof context for goal statements and
   195 attributed fact expressions (concerning background theory, declared
   196 hyps).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, tools need to observe standard
   197 context discipline.  See also Assumption.add_assumes and the more
   198 primitive Thm.assume_hyps.
   199 
   200 * Inner syntax token language allows regular quoted strings "..."
   201 (only makes sense in practice, if outer syntax is delimited
   202 differently).
   203 
   204 
   205 *** HOL ***
   206 
   207 * Adjustion of INF and SUP operations:
   208   * Elongated constants INFI and SUPR to INFIMUM and SUPREMUM.
   209   * Consolidated theorem names containing INFI and SUPR: have INF
   210   and SUP instead uniformly.
   211   * More aggressive normalization of expressions involving INF and Inf
   212   or SUP and Sup.
   213   * INF_image and SUP_image do not unfold composition.
   214   * Dropped facts INF_comp, SUP_comp.
   215   * Default congruence rules strong_INF_cong and strong_SUP_cong,
   216   with simplifier implication in premises.  Generalize and replace
   217   former INT_cong, SUP_cong
   218 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   219 
   220 * Swapped orientation of facts image_comp and vimage_comp:
   221   image_compose ~> image_comp [symmetric]
   222   image_comp ~> image_comp [symmetric]
   223   vimage_compose ~> vimage_comp [symmetric]
   224   vimage_comp ~> vimage_comp [symmetric]
   225   INCOMPATIBILITY.
   226 
   227 * Simplifier: Enhanced solver of preconditions of rewrite rules
   228   can now deal with conjunctions.
   229   For help with converting proofs, the old behaviour of the simplifier
   230   can be restored like this:  declare/using [[simp_legacy_precond]]
   231   This configuration option will disappear again in the future.
   232 
   233 * HOL-Word:
   234   * Abandoned fact collection "word_arith_alts", which is a
   235   duplicate of "word_arith_wis".
   236   * Dropped first (duplicated) element in fact collections
   237   "sint_word_ariths", "word_arith_alts", "uint_word_ariths",
   238   "uint_word_arith_bintrs".
   239 
   240 * Code generator: enforce case of identifiers only for strict
   241 target language requirements.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   242 
   243 * Code generator: explicit proof contexts in many ML interfaces.
   244 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   245 
   246 * Code generator: minimize exported identifiers by default.
   247 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   248 
   249 * Code generation for SML and OCaml: dropped arcane "no_signatures" option.
   250 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   251 
   252 * Simproc "finite_Collect" is no longer enabled by default, due to
   253 spurious crashes and other surprises.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
   254 
   255 * Moved new (co)datatype package and its dependencies from "HOL-BNF" to "HOL".
   256   The "bnf", "wrap_free_constructors", "datatype_new", "codatatype",
   257   "primcorec", and "primcorecursive" commands are now part of "Main".

   287   Discontinued theories:
   288     BNF/BNF.thy
   289     BNF/Equiv_Relations_More.thy
   290   INCOMPATIBILITY.
   291 
   292 * New (co)datatype package:
   293   * "primcorec" is fully implemented.
   294   * "datatype_new" generates size functions ("size_xxx" and "size") as
   295     required by "fun".
   296   * BNFs are integrated with the Lifting tool and new-style (co)datatypes
   297     with Transfer.
   298   * Renamed commands:
   299       datatype_new_compat ~> datatype_compat
   300       primrec_new ~> primrec
   301       wrap_free_constructors ~> free_constructors
   302     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   303   * The generated constants "xxx_case" and "xxx_rec" have been renamed
   304     "case_xxx" and "rec_xxx" (e.g., "prod_case" ~> "case_prod").
   305     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   306   * The constant "xxx_(un)fold" and related theorems are no longer generated.
   307     Use "xxx_(co)rec" or define "xxx_(un)fold" manually using "prim(co)rec".
   308     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   309 
   310 * Old datatype package:
   311   * The generated theorems "xxx.cases" and "xxx.recs" have been renamed
   312     "xxx.case" and "xxx.rec" (e.g., "sum.cases" -> "sum.case").
   313     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   314   * The generated constants "xxx_case", "xxx_rec", and "xxx_size" have been
   315     renamed "case_xxx", "rec_xxx", and "size_xxx" (e.g., "prod_case" ~>
   316     "case_prod").
   317     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   318 
   319 * The types "'a list" and "'a option", their set and map functions, their
   320   relators, and their selectors are now produced using the new BNF-based
   321   datatype package.
   322   Renamed constants:
   323     Option.set ~> set_option
   324     Option.map ~> map_option
   325     option_rel ~> rel_option
   326   Renamed theorems:
   327     set_def ~> set_rec[abs_def]
   328     map_def ~> map_rec[abs_def]
   329     Option.map_def ~> map_option_case[abs_def] (with "case_option" instead of "rec_option")
   330     option.recs ~> option.rec
   331     list_all2_def ~> list_all2_iff
   332     set.simps ~> set_simps (or the slightly different "list.set")
   333     map.simps ~> list.map
   334     hd.simps ~> list.sel(1)
   335     tl.simps ~> list.sel(2-3)
   336     the.simps ~> option.sel
   337   INCOMPATIBILITY.
   338 
   339 * The following map functions and relators have been renamed:
   340     sum_map ~> map_sum
   341     map_pair ~> map_prod
   342     prod_rel ~> rel_prod
   343     sum_rel ~> rel_sum

   348     cset_rel ~> rel_cset (in "Library/Countable_Set_Type.thy")
   349     vset ~> rel_vset (in "Library/Quotient_Set.thy")
   350 
   351 * New theory:
   352     Cardinals/Ordinal_Arithmetic.thy
   353 
   354 * Theory reorganizations:
   355   * Big_Operators.thy ~> Groups_Big.thy and Lattices_Big.thy
   356 
   357 * New internal SAT solver "cdclite" that produces models and proof traces.
   358   This solver replaces the internal SAT solvers "enumerate" and "dpll".
   359   Applications that explicitly used one of these two SAT solvers should
   360   use "cdclite" instead. In addition, "cdclite" is now the default SAT
   361   solver for the "sat" and "satx" proof methods and corresponding tactics;
   362   the old default can be restored using
   363   "declare [[sat_solver = zchaff_with_proofs]]". Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   364 
   365 * SMT module:
   366   * A new version of the SMT module, temporarily called "SMT2", uses SMT-LIB 2
   367     and supports recent versions of Z3 (e.g., 4.3). The new proof method is
   368     called "smt2", and the new Z3 is called "z3_new" in Sledgehammer and
   369     elsewhere.
   370 
   371 * Sledgehammer:
   372   - New prover "z3_new" with support for Isar proofs
   373   - New option:
   374       smt_proofs
   375   - Renamed options:
   376       isar_compress ~> compress_isar
   377       isar_try0 ~> try0_isar
   378     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   379 
   380 * Metis:
   381   - Removed legacy proof method 'metisFT'. Use 'metis (full_types)' instead.
   382     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   383 
   384 * Try0: Added 'algebra' and 'meson' to the set of proof methods.
   385 
   386 * Command renaming: enriched_type ~> functor. INCOMPATIBILITY.
   387 
   388 * The symbol "\<newline>" may be used within char or string literals
   389 to represent (Char Nibble0 NibbleA), i.e. ASCII newline.
   390 
   391 * Activation of Z3 now works via "z3_non_commercial" system option
   392 (without requiring restart), instead of former settings variable
   393 "Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL".  The option can be edited in Isabelle/jEdit menu
   394 Plugin Options / Isabelle / General.
   395 
   396 * "declare [[code abort: ...]]" replaces "code_abort ...".
   397 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   398 
   399 * "declare [[code drop: ...]]" drops all code equations associated
   400 with the given constants.
   401 
   402 * Abolished slightly odd global lattice interpretation for min/max.
   403 
   404 Fact consolidations:
   405     min_max.inf_assoc ~> min.assoc
   406     min_max.inf_commute ~> min.commute
   407     min_max.inf_left_commute ~> min.left_commute
   408     min_max.inf_idem ~> min.idem
   409     min_max.inf_left_idem ~> min.left_idem
   410     min_max.inf_right_idem ~> min.right_idem

   478 * Abolished neg_numeral.
   479   * Canonical representation for minus one is "- 1".
   480   * Canonical representation for other negative numbers is "- (numeral _)".
   481   * When devising rule sets for number calculation, consider the
   482     following canonical cases: 0, 1, numeral _, - 1, - numeral _.
   483   * HOLogic.dest_number also recognizes numerals in non-canonical forms
   484     like "numeral One", "- numeral One", "- 0" and even "- ... - _".
   485   * Syntax for negative numerals is mere input syntax.
   486 INCOMPATBILITY.

   501 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   502 
   503 * More simplification rules on unary and binary minus:
   504 add_diff_cancel, add_diff_cancel_left, add_le_same_cancel1,
   505 add_le_same_cancel2, add_less_same_cancel1, add_less_same_cancel2,

   507 le_add_same_cancel2, less_add_same_cancel1, less_add_same_cancel2,
   508 minus_add_cancel, uminus_add_conv_diff.  These correspondingly
   509 have been taken away from fact collections algebra_simps and
   510 field_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   511 
   512 To restore proofs, the following patterns are helpful:
   513 
   514 a) Arbitrary failing proof not involving "diff_def":
   515 Consider simplification with algebra_simps or field_simps.
   516 
   517 b) Lifting rules from addition to subtraction:
   518 Try with "using <rule for addition> of [... "- _" ...]" by simp".
   519 
   520 c) Simplification with "diff_def": just drop "diff_def".
   521 Consider simplification with algebra_simps or field_simps;
   522 or the brute way with
   523 "simp add: diff_conv_add_uminus del: add_uminus_conv_diff".
   524 
   525 * SUP and INF generalized to conditionally_complete_lattice
   526 
   527 * Theory Lubs moved HOL image to HOL-Library. It is replaced by
   528 Conditionally_Complete_Lattices.   INCOMPATIBILITY.
   529 
   530 * Introduce bdd_above and bdd_below in Conditionally_Complete_Lattices, use them
   531 instead of explicitly stating boundedness of sets.
   532 
   533 * ccpo.admissible quantifies only over non-empty chains to allow
   534 more syntax-directed proof rules; the case of the empty chain
   535 shows up as additional case in fixpoint induction proofs.
   536 INCOMPATIBILITY
   537 
   538 * Removed and renamed theorems in Series:
   539   summable_le         ~>  suminf_le

   549   ratio_test          ~>  summable_ratio_test
   550 
   551   removed series_zero, replaced by sums_finite
   552 
   553   removed auxiliary lemmas:
   554     sumr_offset, sumr_offset2, sumr_offset3, sumr_offset4, sumr_group,
   555     half, le_Suc_ex_iff, lemma_realpow_diff_sumr, real_setsum_nat_ivl_bounded,

   557     sumr_one_lb_realpow_zero, summable_convergent_sumr_iff, sumr_diff_mult_const
   558 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   559 
   560 * Replace (F)DERIV syntax by has_derivative:
   561   - "(f has_derivative f') (at x within s)" replaces "FDERIV f x : s : f'"
   562 
   563   - "(f has_field_derivative f') (at x within s)" replaces "DERIV f x : s : f'"
   564 
   565   - "f differentiable at x within s" replaces "_ differentiable _ in _" syntax
   566 
   567   - removed constant isDiff
   568 
   569   - "DERIV f x : f'" and "FDERIV f x : f'" syntax is only available as input
   570     syntax.
   571 
   572   - "DERIV f x : s : f'" and "FDERIV f x : s : f'" syntax removed
   573 
   574   - Renamed FDERIV_... lemmas to has_derivative_...
   575 
   576   - renamed deriv (the syntax constant used for "DERIV _ _ :> _") to DERIV
   577 
   578   - removed DERIV_intros, has_derivative_eq_intros
   579 
   580   - introduced derivative_intros and deriative_eq_intros which includes now rules for
   581     DERIV, has_derivative and has_vector_derivative.
   582 
   583   - Other renamings:
   584     differentiable_def        ~>  real_differentiable_def
   585     differentiableE           ~>  real_differentiableE

   589     deriv_fderiv              ~>  has_field_derivative_def
   590     deriv_def                 ~>  DERIV_def
   591 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   592 
   593 * Include more theorems in continuous_intros. Remove the continuous_on_intros,
   594   isCont_intros collections, these facts are now in continuous_intros.
   595 
   596 * Theorems about complex numbers are now stated only using Re and Im, the Complex
   597   constructor is not used anymore. It is possible to use primcorec to defined the
   598   behaviour of a complex-valued function.
   599 
   600   Removed theorems about the Complex constructor from the simpset, they are
   601   available as the lemma collection legacy_Complex_simps. This especially
   602   removes
   603     i_complex_of_real: "ii * complex_of_real r = Complex 0 r".
   604 
   605   Instead the reverse direction is supported with
   606     Complex_eq: "Complex a b = a + \<i> * b"
   607 
   608   Moved csqrt from Fundamental_Algebra_Theorem to Complex.
   609 
   610   Renamings:
   611     Re/Im                  ~>  complex.sel

   626     cmod_def             ~>  norm_complex_de
   627 
   628   Removed theorems:
   629     complex_zero_def
   630     complex_add_def
   631     complex_minus_def
   632     complex_diff_def
   633     complex_one_def
   634     complex_mult_def
   635     complex_inverse_def
   636     complex_scaleR_def
   637 
   638 * Removed solvers remote_cvc3 and remote_z3. Use cvc3 and z3 instead.
   639 
   640 * Nitpick:
   641   - Fixed soundness bug whereby mutually recursive datatypes could take
   642     infinite values.
   643   - Fixed soundness bug with low-level number functions such as "Abs_Integ" and
   644     "Rep_Integ".
   645   - Removed "std" option.
   646   - Renamed "show_datatypes" to "show_types" and "hide_datatypes" to
   647     "hide_types".
   648 
   649 * HOL-Multivariate_Analysis:
   650   - type class ordered_real_vector for ordered vector spaces
   651   - changed order of ordered_euclidean_space to be compatible with
   652     pointwise ordering on products. Therefore instance of
   653     conditionally_complete_lattice and ordered_real_vector.
   654     INCOMPATIBILITY: use box instead of greaterThanLessThan or
   655     explicit set-comprehensions with eucl_less for other (half-) open
   656     intervals.
   657 
   658   - renamed theorems:
   659     derivative_linear         ~>  has_derivative_bounded_linear
   660     derivative_is_linear      ~>  has_derivative_linear
   661     bounded_linear_imp_linear ~>  bounded_linear.linear
   662 
   663 
   664 *** Scala ***
   665 
   666 * The signature and semantics of Document.Snapshot.cumulate_markup /
   667 select_markup have been clarified.  Markup is now traversed in the
   668 order of reports given by the prover: later markup is usually more
   669 specific and may override results accumulated so far.  The elements
   670 guard is mandatory and checked precisely.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
   671 
   672 
   673 *** ML ***
   674 
   675 * Moved ML_Compiler.exn_trace and other operations on exceptions to
   676 structure Runtime.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   677 
   678 * Discontinued old Toplevel.debug in favour of system option
   679 "ML_exception_trace", which may be also declared within the context via
   680 "declare [[ML_exception_trace = true]]".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   681 
   682 * Renamed configuration option "ML_trace" to "ML_source_trace". Minor
   683 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   684 
   685 * Configuration option "ML_print_depth" controls the pretty-printing
   686 depth of the ML compiler within the context.  The old print_depth in
   687 ML is still available as default_print_depth, but rarely used.  Minor
   688 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   689 
   690 * Proper context discipline for read_instantiate and instantiate_tac:
   691 variables that are meant to become schematic need to be given as
   692 fixed, and are generalized by the explicit context of local variables.
   693 This corresponds to Isar attributes "where" and "of" with 'for'
   694 declaration.  INCOMPATIBILITY, also due to potential change of indices
   695 of schematic variables.
   696 
   697 * Toplevel function "use" refers to raw ML bootstrap environment,
   698 without Isar context nor antiquotations.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
   699 Note that 'ML_file' is the canonical command to load ML files into the
   700 formal context.
   701 
   702 * Proper context for basic Simplifier operations: rewrite_rule,
   703 rewrite_goals_rule, rewrite_goals_tac etc. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to
   704 pass runtime Proof.context (and ensure that the simplified entity
   705 actually belongs to it).
   706 
   707 * Subtle change of semantics of Thm.eq_thm: theory stamps are not
   708 compared (according to Thm.thm_ord), but assumed to be covered by the
   709 current background theory.  Thus equivalent data produced in different
   710 branches of the theory graph usually coincides (e.g. relevant for
   711 theory merge).  Note that the softer Thm.eq_thm_prop is often more
   712 appropriate than Thm.eq_thm.
   713 
   714 * Simplified programming interface to define ML antiquotations, see
   715 structure ML_Antiquotation.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   716 
   717 * ML antiquotation @{here} refers to its source position, which is
   718 occasionally useful for experimentation and diagnostic purposes.
   719 
   720 * ML antiquotation @{path} produces a Path.T value, similarly to
   721 Path.explode, but with compile-time check against the file-system and
   722 some PIDE markup.  Note that unlike theory source, ML does not have a
   723 well-defined master directory, so an absolute symbolic path
   724 specification is usually required, e.g. "~~/src/HOL".
   725 
   726 * ML antiquotation @{print} inlines a function to print an arbitrary
   727 ML value, which is occasionally useful for diagnostic or demonstration
   728 purposes.
   729 
   730 
   731 *** System ***
   732 
   733 * Session ROOT specifications require explicit 'document_files' for
   734 robust dependencies on LaTeX sources.  Only these explicitly given
   735 files are copied to the document output directory, before document
   736 processing is started.
   737 
   738 * Simplified "isabelle display" tool.  Settings variables DVI_VIEWER
   739 and PDF_VIEWER now refer to the actual programs, not shell
   740 command-lines.  Discontinued option -c: invocation may be asynchronous
   741 via desktop environment, without any special precautions.  Potential
   742 INCOMPATIBILITY with ambitious private settings.
   743 
   744 * Improved 'display_drafts' concerning desktop integration and
   745 repeated invocation in PIDE front-end: re-use single file
   746 $ISABELLE_HOME_USER/tmp/drafts.pdf and corresponding views.
   747 
   748 * The raw Isabelle process executable has been renamed from
   749 "isabelle-process" to "isabelle_process", which conforms to common
   750 shell naming conventions, and allows to define a shell function within
   751 the Isabelle environment to avoid dynamic path lookup.  Rare
   752 incompatibility for old tools that do not use the $ISABELLE_PROCESS
   753 settings variable yet.
   754 
   755 * Retired the now unused Isabelle tool "wwwfind". Similar functionality
   756 may be integrated into PIDE/jEdit at a later point.

   759 -------------------------------------
   760 
   761 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
   762 
   763 * More robust editing of running commands with internal forks,
   764 e.g. non-terminating 'by' steps.
   765 
   766 * More relaxed Sledgehammer panel: avoid repeated application of query
   767 after edits surrounding the command location.
   768 
   769 * More status information about commands that are interrupted
   770 accidentally (via physical event or Poly/ML runtime system signal,
   771 e.g. out-of-memory).
   772 
   773 
   774 *** System ***
   775 
   776 * More robust termination of external processes managed by
   777 Isabelle/ML: support cancellation of tasks within the range of
   778 milliseconds, as required for PIDE document editing with automatically
   779 tried tools (e.g. Sledgehammer).
   780 
   781 * Reactivated Isabelle/Scala kill command for external processes on
   782 Mac OS X, which was accidentally broken in Isabelle2013-1 due to a
   783 workaround for some Debian/Ubuntu Linux versions from 2013.
   784

   788 -------------------------------------
   789 
   790 *** General ***
   791 
   792 * Discontinued obsolete 'uses' within theory header.  Note that
   793 commands like 'ML_file' work without separate declaration of file
   794 dependencies.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   795 
   796 * Discontinued redundant 'use' command, which was superseded by
   797 'ML_file' in Isabelle2013.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   798 
   799 * Simplified subscripts within identifiers, using plain \<^sub>
   800 instead of the second copy \<^isub> and \<^isup>.  Superscripts are
   801 only for literal tokens within notation; explicit mixfix annotations
   802 for consts or fixed variables may be used as fall-back for unusual
   803 names.  Obsolete \<twosuperior> has been expanded to \<^sup>2 in
   804 Isabelle/HOL.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "isabelle update_sub_sup" to
   805 standardize symbols as a starting point for further manual cleanup.
   806 The ML reference variable "legacy_isub_isup" may be set as temporary
   807 workaround, to make the prover accept a subset of the old identifier
   808 syntax.
   809 
   810 * Document antiquotations: term style "isub" has been renamed to
   811 "sub".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   812 
   813 * Uniform management of "quick_and_dirty" as system option (see also
   814 "isabelle options"), configuration option within the context (see also
   815 Config.get in Isabelle/ML), and attribute in Isabelle/Isar.  Minor
   816 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use more official Isabelle means to access
   817 quick_and_dirty, instead of historical poking into mutable reference.
   818 
   819 * Renamed command 'print_configs' to 'print_options'.  Minor
   820 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   821 
   822 * Proper diagnostic command 'print_state'.  Old 'pr' (with its
   823 implicit change of some global references) is retained for now as
   824 control command, e.g. for ProofGeneral 3.7.x.
   825 
   826 * Discontinued 'print_drafts' command with its old-fashioned PS output
   827 and Unix command-line print spooling.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: use
   828 'display_drafts' instead and print via the regular document viewer.
   829 
   830 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual,
   831 eliminated old "ref" manual.
   832 
   833 
   834 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
   835 
   836 * New manual "jedit" for Isabelle/jEdit, see isabelle doc or
   837 Documentation panel.
   838 
   839 * Dockable window "Documentation" provides access to Isabelle
   840 documentation.
   841 
   842 * Dockable window "Find" provides query operations for formal entities
   843 (GUI front-end to 'find_theorems' command).
   844 
   845 * Dockable window "Sledgehammer" manages asynchronous / parallel
   846 sledgehammer runs over existing document sources, independently of
   847 normal editing and checking process.
   848 
   849 * Dockable window "Timing" provides an overview of relevant command
   850 timing information, depending on option jedit_timing_threshold.  The
   851 same timing information is shown in the extended tooltip of the
   852 command keyword, when hovering the mouse over it while the CONTROL or
   853 COMMAND modifier is pressed.
   854 
   855 * Improved dockable window "Theories": Continuous checking of proof
   856 document (visible and required parts) may be controlled explicitly,
   857 using check box or shortcut "C+e ENTER".  Individual theory nodes may
   858 be marked explicitly as required and checked in full, using check box
   859 or shortcut "C+e SPACE".
   860 
   861 * Improved completion mechanism, which is now managed by the
   862 Isabelle/jEdit plugin instead of SideKick.  Refined table of Isabelle
   863 symbol abbreviations (see $ISABELLE_HOME/etc/symbols).
   864 
   865 * Standard jEdit keyboard shortcut C+b complete-word is remapped to
   866 isabelle.complete for explicit completion in Isabelle sources.
   867 INCOMPATIBILITY wrt. jEdit defaults, may have to invent new shortcuts
   868 to resolve conflict.
   869 
   870 * Improved support of various "minor modes" for Isabelle NEWS,
   871 options, session ROOT etc., with completion and SideKick tree view.
   872 
   873 * Strictly monotonic document update, without premature cancellation of
   874 running transactions that are still needed: avoid reset/restart of
   875 such command executions while editing.
   876 
   877 * Support for asynchronous print functions, as overlay to existing
   878 document content.
   879 
   880 * Support for automatic tools in HOL, which try to prove or disprove
   881 toplevel theorem statements.
   882 
   883 * Action isabelle.reset-font-size resets main text area font size
   884 according to Isabelle/Scala plugin option "jedit_font_reset_size" (see
   885 also "Plugin Options / Isabelle / General").  It can be bound to some
   886 keyboard shortcut by the user (e.g. C+0 and/or C+NUMPAD0).
   887 
   888 * File specifications in jEdit (e.g. file browser) may refer to
   889 $ISABELLE_HOME and $ISABELLE_HOME_USER on all platforms.  Discontinued
   890 obsolete $ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS variable.
   891 
   892 * Improved support for Linux look-and-feel "GTK+", see also "Utilities
   893 / Global Options / Appearance".
   894 
   895 * Improved support of native Mac OS X functionality via "MacOSX"
   896 plugin, which is now enabled by default.
   897 
   898 
   899 *** Pure ***
   900 
   901 * Commands 'interpretation' and 'sublocale' are now target-sensitive.
   902 In particular, 'interpretation' allows for non-persistent
   903 interpretation within "context ... begin ... end" blocks offering a
   904 light-weight alternative to 'sublocale'.  See "isar-ref" manual for
   905 details.
   906 
   907 * Improved locales diagnostic command 'print_dependencies'.
   908 
   909 * Discontinued obsolete 'axioms' command, which has been marked as
   910 legacy since Isabelle2009-2.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use 'axiomatization'
   911 instead, while observing its uniform scope for polymorphism.
   912 
   913 * Discontinued empty name bindings in 'axiomatization'.
   914 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   915 
   916 * System option "proofs" has been discontinued.  Instead the global
   917 state of Proofterm.proofs is persistently compiled into logic images
   918 as required, notably HOL-Proofs.  Users no longer need to change
   919 Proofterm.proofs dynamically.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   920 
   921 * Syntax translation functions (print_translation etc.) always depend
   922 on Proof.context.  Discontinued former "(advanced)" option -- this is
   923 now the default.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   924 
   925 * Former global reference trace_unify_fail is now available as
   926 configuration option "unify_trace_failure" (global context only).
   927 
   928 * SELECT_GOAL now retains the syntactic context of the overall goal
   929 state (schematic variables etc.).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare
   930 situations.
   931 
   932 
   933 *** HOL ***
   934 
   935 * Stronger precedence of syntax for big intersection and union on
   936 sets, in accordance with corresponding lattice operations.
   937 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   938 
   939 * Notation "{p:A. P}" now allows tuple patterns as well.
   940 
   941 * Nested case expressions are now translated in a separate check phase
   942 rather than during parsing. The data for case combinators is separated
   943 from the datatype package. The declaration attribute
   944 "case_translation" can be used to register new case combinators:
   945 
   946   declare [[case_translation case_combinator constructor1 ... constructorN]]
   947 
   948 * Code generator:
   949   - 'code_printing' unifies 'code_const' / 'code_type' / 'code_class' /
   950     'code_instance'.
   951   - 'code_identifier' declares name hints for arbitrary identifiers in
   952     generated code, subsuming 'code_modulename'.
   953 
   954 See the isar-ref manual for syntax diagrams, and the HOL theories for
   955 examples.
   956 
   957 * Attibute 'code': 'code' now declares concrete and abstract code
   958 equations uniformly.  Use explicit 'code equation' and 'code abstract'
   959 to distinguish both when desired.
   960 
   961 * Discontinued theories Code_Integer and Efficient_Nat by a more
   962 fine-grain stack of theories Code_Target_Int, Code_Binary_Nat,
   963 Code_Target_Nat and Code_Target_Numeral.  See the tutorial on code
   964 generation for details.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   965 
   966 * Numeric types are mapped by default to target language numerals:
   967 natural (replaces former code_numeral) and integer (replaces former
   968 code_int).  Conversions are available as integer_of_natural /
   969 natural_of_integer / integer_of_nat / nat_of_integer (in HOL) and
   970 Code_Numeral.integer_of_natural / Code_Numeral.natural_of_integer (in
   971 ML).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   972 
   973 * Function package: For mutually recursive functions f and g, separate
   974 cases rules f.cases and g.cases are generated instead of unusable
   975 f_g.cases which exposed internal sum types. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
   976 in the case that the unusable rule was used nevertheless.
   977 
   978 * Function package: For each function f, new rules f.elims are
   979 generated, which eliminate equalities of the form "f x = t".
   980 
   981 * New command 'fun_cases' derives ad-hoc elimination rules for
   982 function equations as simplified instances of f.elims, analogous to
   983 inductive_cases.  See ~~/src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy for some examples.
   984 
   985 * Lifting:
   986   - parametrized correspondence relations are now supported:
   987     + parametricity theorems for the raw term can be specified in
   988       the command lift_definition, which allow us to generate stronger
   989       transfer rules
   990     + setup_lifting generates stronger transfer rules if parametric
   991       correspondence relation can be generated
   992     + various new properties of the relator must be specified to support
   993       parametricity
   994     + parametricity theorem for the Quotient relation can be specified
   995   - setup_lifting generates domain rules for the Transfer package
   996   - stronger reflexivity prover of respectfulness theorems for type
   997     copies
   998   - ===> and --> are now local. The symbols can be introduced
   999     by interpreting the locale lifting_syntax (typically in an
  1000     anonymous context)
  1001   - Lifting/Transfer relevant parts of Library/Quotient_* are now in
  1002     Main. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  1003   - new commands for restoring and deleting Lifting/Transfer context:
  1004     lifting_forget, lifting_update
  1005   - the command print_quotmaps was renamed to print_quot_maps.
  1006     INCOMPATIBILITY
  1007 
  1008 * Transfer:
  1009   - better support for domains in Transfer: replace Domainp T
  1010     by the actual invariant in a transferred goal
  1011   - transfer rules can have as assumptions other transfer rules
  1012   - Experimental support for transferring from the raw level to the
  1013     abstract level: Transfer.transferred attribute
  1014   - Attribute version of the transfer method: untransferred attribute
  1015 
  1016 * Reification and reflection:
  1017   - Reification is now directly available in HOL-Main in structure
  1018     "Reification".
  1019   - Reflection now handles multiple lists with variables also.
  1020   - The whole reflection stack has been decomposed into conversions.
  1021 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1022 
  1023 * Revised devices for recursive definitions over finite sets:
  1024   - Only one fundamental fold combinator on finite set remains:
  1025     Finite_Set.fold :: ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  1026     This is now identity on infinite sets.
  1027   - Locales ("mini packages") for fundamental definitions with
  1028     Finite_Set.fold: folding, folding_idem.
  1029   - Locales comm_monoid_set, semilattice_order_set and
  1030     semilattice_neutr_order_set for big operators on sets.
  1031     See theory Big_Operators for canonical examples.
  1032     Note that foundational constants comm_monoid_set.F and
  1033     semilattice_set.F correspond to former combinators fold_image
  1034     and fold1 respectively.  These are now gone.  You may use
  1035     those foundational constants as substitutes, but it is
  1036     preferable to interpret the above locales accordingly.
  1037   - Dropped class ab_semigroup_idem_mult (special case of lattice,
  1038     no longer needed in connection with Finite_Set.fold etc.)
  1039   - Fact renames:
  1040       card.union_inter ~> card_Un_Int [symmetric]
  1041       card.union_disjoint ~> card_Un_disjoint
  1042 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1043 
  1044 * Locale hierarchy for abstract orderings and (semi)lattices.
  1045 
  1046 * Complete_Partial_Order.admissible is defined outside the type class
  1047 ccpo, but with mandatory prefix ccpo. Admissibility theorems lose the
  1048 class predicate assumption or sort constraint when possible.
  1049 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1050 
  1051 * Introduce type class "conditionally_complete_lattice": Like a
  1052 complete lattice but does not assume the existence of the top and
  1053 bottom elements.  Allows to generalize some lemmas about reals and
  1054 extended reals.  Removed SupInf and replaced it by the instantiation
  1055 of conditionally_complete_lattice for real. Renamed lemmas about
  1056 conditionally-complete lattice from Sup_... to cSup_... and from
  1057 Inf_...  to cInf_... to avoid hidding of similar complete lattice
  1058 lemmas.
  1059 
  1060 * Introduce type class linear_continuum as combination of
  1061 conditionally-complete lattices and inner dense linorders which have
  1062 more than one element.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1063 
  1064 * Introduced type classes order_top and order_bot. The old classes top
  1065 and bot only contain the syntax without assumptions.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  1066 Rename bot -> order_bot, top -> order_top
  1067 
  1068 * Introduce type classes "no_top" and "no_bot" for orderings without
  1069 top and bottom elements.
  1070 
  1071 * Split dense_linorder into inner_dense_order and no_top, no_bot.
  1072 
  1073 * Complex_Main: Unify and move various concepts from
  1074 HOL-Multivariate_Analysis to HOL-Complex_Main.
  1075 
  1076  - Introduce type class (lin)order_topology and
  1077    linear_continuum_topology.  Allows to generalize theorems about
  1078    limits and order.  Instances are reals and extended reals.
  1079 
  1080  - continuous and continuos_on from Multivariate_Analysis:
  1081    "continuous" is the continuity of a function at a filter.  "isCont"
  1082    is now an abbrevitation: "isCont x f == continuous (at _) f".
  1083 
  1084    Generalized continuity lemmas from isCont to continuous on an
  1085    arbitrary filter.
  1086 
  1087  - compact from Multivariate_Analysis. Use Bolzano's lemma to prove
  1088    compactness of closed intervals on reals. Continuous functions
  1089    attain infimum and supremum on compact sets. The inverse of a
  1090    continuous function is continuous, when the function is continuous
  1091    on a compact set.
  1092 
  1093  - connected from Multivariate_Analysis. Use it to prove the
  1094    intermediate value theorem. Show connectedness of intervals on
  1095    linear_continuum_topology).
  1096 
  1097  - first_countable_topology from Multivariate_Analysis. Is used to
  1098    show equivalence of properties on the neighbourhood filter of x and
  1099    on all sequences converging to x.
  1100 
  1101  - FDERIV: Definition of has_derivative moved to Deriv.thy. Moved
  1102    theorems from Library/FDERIV.thy to Deriv.thy and base the
  1103    definition of DERIV on FDERIV. Add variants of DERIV and FDERIV
  1104    which are restricted to sets, i.e. to represent derivatives from
  1105    left or right.
  1106 
  1107  - Removed the within-filter. It is replaced by the principal filter:
  1108 
  1109      F within X = inf F (principal X)
  1110 
  1111  - Introduce "at x within U" as a single constant, "at x" is now an
  1112    abbreviation for "at x within UNIV"
  1113 
  1114  - Introduce named theorem collections tendsto_intros,
  1115    continuous_intros, continuous_on_intros and FDERIV_intros. Theorems
  1116    in tendsto_intros (or FDERIV_intros) are also available as
  1117    tendsto_eq_intros (or FDERIV_eq_intros) where the right-hand side
  1118    is replaced by a congruence rule. This allows to apply them as
  1119    intro rules and then proving equivalence by the simplifier.
  1120 
  1121  - Restructured theories in HOL-Complex_Main:
  1122 
  1123    + Moved RealDef and RComplete into Real
  1124 
  1125    + Introduced Topological_Spaces and moved theorems about
  1126      topological spaces, filters, limits and continuity to it
  1127 
  1128    + Renamed RealVector to Real_Vector_Spaces
  1129 
  1130    + Split Lim, SEQ, Series into Topological_Spaces,
  1131      Real_Vector_Spaces, and Limits
  1132 
  1133    + Moved Ln and Log to Transcendental
  1134 
  1135    + Moved theorems about continuity from Deriv to Topological_Spaces
  1136 
  1137  - Remove various auxiliary lemmas.
  1138 
  1139 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1140 
  1141 * Nitpick:
  1142   - Added option "spy".
  1143   - Reduce incidence of "too high arity" errors.
  1144 
  1145 * Sledgehammer:
  1146   - Renamed option:
  1147       isar_shrink ~> isar_compress
  1148     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1149   - Added options "isar_try0", "spy".
  1150   - Better support for "isar_proofs".
  1151   - MaSh has been fined-tuned and now runs as a local server.
  1152 
  1153 * Improved support for ad hoc overloading of constants (see also
  1154 isar-ref manual and ~~/src/HOL/ex/Adhoc_Overloading_Examples.thy).
  1155 
  1156 * Library/Polynomial.thy:
  1157   - Use lifting for primitive definitions.
  1158   - Explicit conversions from and to lists of coefficients, used for
  1159     generated code.
  1160   - Replaced recursion operator poly_rec by fold_coeffs.
  1161   - Prefer pre-existing gcd operation for gcd.
  1162   - Fact renames:
  1163     poly_eq_iff ~> poly_eq_poly_eq_iff
  1164     poly_ext ~> poly_eqI
  1165     expand_poly_eq ~> poly_eq_iff
  1166 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
  1167 
  1168 * New Library/Simps_Case_Conv.thy: Provides commands simps_of_case and
  1169 case_of_simps to convert function definitions between a list of
  1170 equations with patterns on the lhs and a single equation with case
  1171 expressions on the rhs. See also Ex/Simps_Case_Conv_Examples.thy.
  1172 
  1173 * New Library/FSet.thy: type of finite sets defined as a subtype of
  1174 sets defined by Lifting/Transfer.
  1175 
  1176 * Discontinued theory src/HOL/Library/Eval_Witness.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1177 
  1178 * Consolidation of library theories on product orders:
  1179 
  1180     Product_Lattice ~> Product_Order -- pointwise order on products
  1181     Product_ord ~> Product_Lexorder -- lexicographic order on products
  1182 
  1183 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1184 
  1185 * Imperative-HOL: The MREC combinator is considered legacy and no
  1186 longer included by default. INCOMPATIBILITY, use partial_function
  1187 instead, or import theory Legacy_Mrec as a fallback.
  1188 
  1189 * HOL-Algebra: Discontinued theories ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/abstract and
  1190 ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/poly.  Existing theories should be based on
  1191 ~~/src/HOL/Library/Polynomial instead.  The latter provides
  1192 integration with HOL's type classes for rings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1193 
  1194 * HOL-BNF:
  1195   - Various improvements to BNF-based (co)datatype package, including
  1196     new commands "primrec_new", "primcorec", and
  1197     "datatype_new_compat", as well as documentation. See
  1198     "datatypes.pdf" for details.
  1199   - New "coinduction" method to avoid some boilerplate (compared to
  1200     coinduct).
  1201   - Renamed keywords:
  1202     data ~> datatype_new
  1203     codata ~> codatatype
  1204     bnf_def ~> bnf
  1205   - Renamed many generated theorems, including
  1206     discs ~> disc
  1207     map_comp' ~> map_comp
  1208     map_id' ~> map_id
  1209     sels ~> sel
  1210     set_map' ~> set_map
  1211     sets ~> set
  1212 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
  1213 
  1214 
  1215 *** ML ***
  1216 
  1217 * Spec_Check is a Quickcheck tool for Isabelle/ML.  The ML function
  1218 "check_property" allows to check specifications of the form "ALL x y
  1219 z. prop x y z".  See also ~~/src/Tools/Spec_Check/ with its
  1220 Examples.thy in particular.
  1221 
  1222 * Improved printing of exception trace in Poly/ML 5.5.1, with regular
  1223 tracing output in the command transaction context instead of physical
  1224 stdout.  See also Toplevel.debug, Toplevel.debugging and
  1225 ML_Compiler.exn_trace.
  1226 
  1227 * ML type "theory" is now immutable, without any special treatment of
  1228 drafts or linear updates (which could lead to "stale theory" errors in
  1229 the past).  Discontinued obsolete operations like Theory.copy,
  1230 Theory.checkpoint, and the auxiliary type theory_ref.  Minor
  1231 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1232 
  1233 * More uniform naming of goal functions for skipped proofs:
  1234 
  1235     Skip_Proof.prove  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry
  1236     Skip_Proof.prove_global  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry_global
  1237 
  1238 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1239 
  1240 * Simplifier tactics and tools use proper Proof.context instead of
  1241 historic type simpset.  Old-style declarations like addsimps,
  1242 addsimprocs etc. operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type simpset
  1243 retains its use as snapshot of the main Simplifier context, using
  1244 simpset_of and put_simpset on Proof.context.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- port
  1245 old tools by making them depend on (ctxt : Proof.context) instead of
  1246 (ss : simpset), then turn (simpset_of ctxt) into ctxt.
  1247 
  1248 * Modifiers for classical wrappers (e.g. addWrapper, delWrapper)
  1249 operate on Proof.context instead of claset, for uniformity with addIs,
  1250 addEs, addDs etc. Note that claset_of and put_claset allow to manage
  1251 clasets separately from the context.
  1252 
  1253 * Discontinued obsolete ML antiquotations @{claset} and @{simpset}.
  1254 INCOMPATIBILITY, use @{context} instead.
  1255 
  1256 * Antiquotation @{theory_context A} is similar to @{theory A}, but
  1257 presents the result as initial Proof.context.
  1258 
  1259 
  1260 *** System ***
  1261 
  1262 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle usedir, mkdir, make -- superseded by
  1263 "isabelle build" in Isabelle2013.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1264 
  1265 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle-process options -f and -u (former
  1266 administrative aliases of option -e).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1267 
  1268 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle print tool, and PRINT_COMMAND
  1269 settings variable.
  1270 
  1271 * Discontinued ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT settings variable and historic
  1272 document formats: dvi.gz, ps, ps.gz -- the default document format is
  1273 always pdf.
  1274 
  1275 * Isabelle settings variable ISABELLE_BUILD_JAVA_OPTIONS allows to
  1276 specify global resources of the JVM process run by isabelle build.
  1277 
  1278 * Toplevel executable $ISABELLE_HOME/bin/isabelle_scala_script allows
  1279 to run Isabelle/Scala source files as standalone programs.
  1280 
  1281 * Improved "isabelle keywords" tool (for old-style ProofGeneral
  1282 keyword tables): use Isabelle/Scala operations, which inspect outer
  1283 syntax without requiring to build sessions first.
  1284 
  1285 * Sessions may be organized via 'chapter' specifications in the ROOT
  1286 file, which determines a two-level hierarchy of browser info.  The old
  1287 tree-like organization via implicit sub-session relation (with its
  1288 tendency towards erratic fluctuation of URLs) has been discontinued.
  1289 The default chapter is called "Unsorted".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  1290 for HTML presentation of theories.
  1291 
  1292 
  1293 
  1294 New in Isabelle2013 (February 2013)
  1295 -----------------------------------
  1296 
  1297 *** General ***
  1298 
  1299 * Theorem status about oracles and unfinished/failed future proofs is
  1300 no longer printed by default, since it is incompatible with
  1301 incremental / parallel checking of the persistent document model.  ML
  1302 function Thm.peek_status may be used to inspect a snapshot of the
  1303 ongoing evaluation process.  Note that in batch mode --- notably
  1304 isabelle build --- the system ensures that future proofs of all
  1305 accessible theorems in the theory context are finished (as before).
  1306 
  1307 * Configuration option show_markup controls direct inlining of markup
  1308 into the printed representation of formal entities --- notably type
  1309 and sort constraints.  This enables Prover IDE users to retrieve that
  1310 information via tooltips in the output window, for example.
  1311 
  1312 * Command 'ML_file' evaluates ML text from a file directly within the
  1313 theory, without any predeclaration via 'uses' in the theory header.
  1314 
  1315 * Old command 'use' command and corresponding keyword 'uses' in the
  1316 theory header are legacy features and will be discontinued soon.
  1317 Tools that load their additional source files may imitate the
  1318 'ML_file' implementation, such that the system can take care of
  1319 dependencies properly.
  1320 
  1321 * Discontinued obsolete method fastsimp / tactic fast_simp_tac, which
  1322 is called fastforce / fast_force_tac already since Isabelle2011-1.
  1323 
  1324 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual, reduced
  1325 remaining material in old "ref" manual.
  1326 
  1327 * Improved support for auxiliary contexts that indicate block structure
  1328 for specifications.  Nesting of "context fixes ... context assumes ..."
  1329 and "class ... context ...".
  1330 
  1331 * Attribute "consumes" allows a negative value as well, which is
  1332 interpreted relatively to the total number of premises of the rule in
  1333 the target context.  This form of declaration is stable when exported
  1334 from a nested 'context' with additional assumptions.  It is the
  1335 preferred form for definitional packages, notably cases/rules produced
  1336 in HOL/inductive and HOL/function.
  1337 
  1338 * More informative error messages for Isar proof commands involving
  1339 lazy enumerations (method applications etc.).
  1340 
  1341 * Refined 'help' command to retrieve outer syntax commands according
  1342 to name patterns (with clickable results).
  1343 
  1344 
  1345 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
  1346 
  1347 * Parallel terminal proofs ('by') are enabled by default, likewise
  1348 proofs that are built into packages like 'datatype', 'function'.  This
  1349 allows to "run ahead" checking the theory specifications on the
  1350 surface, while the prover is still crunching on internal
  1351 justifications.  Unfinished / cancelled proofs are restarted as
  1352 required to complete full proof checking eventually.
  1353 
  1354 * Improved output panel with tooltips, hyperlinks etc. based on the
  1355 same Rich_Text_Area as regular Isabelle/jEdit buffers.  Activation of
  1356 tooltips leads to some window that supports the same recursively,
  1357 which can lead to stacks of tooltips as the semantic document content
  1358 is explored.  ESCAPE closes the whole stack, individual windows may be
  1359 closed separately, or detached to become independent jEdit dockables.
  1360 
  1361 * Improved support for commands that produce graph output: the text
  1362 message contains a clickable area to open a new instance of the graph
  1363 browser on demand.
  1364 
  1365 * More robust incremental parsing of outer syntax (partial comments,
  1366 malformed symbols).  Changing the balance of open/close quotes and
  1367 comment delimiters works more conveniently with unfinished situations
  1368 that frequently occur in user interaction.
  1369 
  1370 * More efficient painting and improved reactivity when editing large
  1371 files.  More scalable management of formal document content.
  1372 
  1373 * Smarter handling of tracing messages: prover process pauses after
  1374 certain number of messages per command transaction, with some user
  1375 dialog to stop or continue.  This avoids swamping the front-end with
  1376 potentially infinite message streams.
  1377 
  1378 * More plugin options and preferences, based on Isabelle/Scala.  The
  1379 jEdit plugin option panel provides access to some Isabelle/Scala
  1380 options, including tuning parameters for editor reactivity and color
  1381 schemes.
  1382 
  1383 * Dockable window "Symbols" provides some editing support for Isabelle
  1384 symbols.
  1385 
  1386 * Dockable window "Monitor" shows ML runtime statistics.  Note that
  1387 continuous display of the chart slows down the system.
  1388 
  1389 * Improved editing support for control styles: subscript, superscript,
  1390 bold, reset of style -- operating on single symbols or text
  1391 selections.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C+e DOWN/UP/RIGHT/LEFT.
  1392 
  1393 * Actions isabelle.increase-font-size and isabelle.decrease-font-size
  1394 adjust the main text area font size, and its derivatives for output,
  1395 tooltips etc.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C-PLUS and C-MINUS, which often
  1396 need to be adapted to local keyboard layouts.
  1397 
  1398 * More reactive completion popup by default: use \t (TAB) instead of
  1399 \n (NEWLINE) to minimize intrusion into regular flow of editing.  See
  1400 also "Plugin Options / SideKick / General / Code Completion Options".
  1401 
  1402 * Implicit check and build dialog of the specified logic session
  1403 image.  For example, HOL, HOLCF, HOL-Nominal can be produced on
  1404 demand, without bundling big platform-dependent heap images in the
  1405 Isabelle distribution.
  1406 
  1407 * Uniform Java 7 platform on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows: recent updates
  1408 from Oracle provide better multi-platform experience.  This version is
  1409 now bundled exclusively with Isabelle.
  1410 
  1411 
  1412 *** Pure ***
  1413 
  1414 * Code generation for Haskell: restrict unqualified imports from
  1415 Haskell Prelude to a small set of fundamental operations.
  1416 
  1417 * Command 'export_code': relative file names are interpreted
  1418 relatively to master directory of current theory rather than the
  1419 rather arbitrary current working directory.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1420 
  1421 * Discontinued obsolete attribute "COMP".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
  1422 use regular rule composition via "OF" / "THEN", or explicit proof
  1423 structure instead.  Note that Isabelle/ML provides a variety of
  1424 operators like COMP, INCR_COMP, COMP_INCR, which need to be applied
  1425 with some care where this is really required.
  1426 
  1427 * Command 'typ' supports an additional variant with explicit sort
  1428 constraint, to infer and check the most general type conforming to a
  1429 given sort.  Example (in HOL):
  1430 
  1431   typ "_ * _ * bool * unit" :: finite
  1432 
  1433 * Command 'locale_deps' visualizes all locales and their relations as
  1434 a Hasse diagram.
  1435 
  1436 
  1437 *** HOL ***
  1438 
  1439 * Sledgehammer:
  1440 
  1441   - Added MaSh relevance filter based on machine-learning; see the
  1442     Sledgehammer manual for details.
  1443   - Polished Isar proofs generated with "isar_proofs" option.
  1444   - Rationalized type encodings ("type_enc" option).
  1445   - Renamed "kill_provers" subcommand to "kill_all".
  1446   - Renamed options:
  1447       isar_proof ~> isar_proofs
  1448       isar_shrink_factor ~> isar_shrink
  1449       max_relevant ~> max_facts
  1450       relevance_thresholds ~> fact_thresholds
  1451 
  1452 * Quickcheck: added an optimisation for equality premises.  It is
  1453 switched on by default, and can be switched off by setting the
  1454 configuration quickcheck_optimise_equality to false.
  1455 
  1456 * Quotient: only one quotient can be defined by quotient_type
  1457 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1458 
  1459 * Lifting:
  1460   - generation of an abstraction function equation in lift_definition
  1461   - quot_del attribute
  1462   - renamed no_abs_code -> no_code (INCOMPATIBILITY.)
  1463 
  1464 * Simproc "finite_Collect" rewrites set comprehensions into pointfree
  1465 expressions.
  1466 
  1467 * Preprocessing of the code generator rewrites set comprehensions into
  1468 pointfree expressions.
  1469 
  1470 * The SMT solver Z3 has now by default a restricted set of directly
  1471 supported features. For the full set of features (div/mod, nonlinear
  1472 arithmetic, datatypes/records) with potential proof reconstruction
  1473 failures, enable the configuration option "z3_with_extensions".  Minor
  1474 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1475 
  1476 * Simplified 'typedef' specifications: historical options for implicit
  1477 set definition and alternative name have been discontinued.  The
  1478 former behavior of "typedef (open) t = A" is now the default, but
  1479 written just "typedef t = A".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt theories
  1480 accordingly.
  1481 
  1482 * Removed constant "chars"; prefer "Enum.enum" on type "char"
  1483 directly.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1484 
  1485 * Moved operation product, sublists and n_lists from theory Enum to
  1486 List.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1487 
  1488 * Theorem UN_o generalized to SUP_comp.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1489 
  1490 * Class "comm_monoid_diff" formalises properties of bounded
  1491 subtraction, with natural numbers and multisets as typical instances.
  1492 
  1493 * Added combinator "Option.these" with type "'a option set => 'a set".
  1494 
  1495 * Theory "Transitive_Closure": renamed lemmas
  1496 
  1497   reflcl_tranclp -> reflclp_tranclp
  1498   rtranclp_reflcl -> rtranclp_reflclp
  1499 
  1500 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1501 
  1502 * Theory "Rings": renamed lemmas (in class semiring)
  1503 
  1504   left_distrib ~> distrib_right
  1505   right_distrib ~> distrib_left
  1506 
  1507 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1508 
  1509 * Generalized the definition of limits:
  1510 
  1511   - Introduced the predicate filterlim (LIM x F. f x :> G) which
  1512     expresses that when the input values x converge to F then the
  1513     output f x converges to G.
  1514 
  1515   - Added filters for convergence to positive (at_top) and negative
  1516     infinity (at_bot).
  1517 
  1518   - Moved infinity in the norm (at_infinity) from
  1519     Multivariate_Analysis to Complex_Main.
  1520 
  1521   - Removed real_tendsto_inf, it is superseded by "LIM x F. f x :>
  1522     at_top".
  1523 
  1524 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1525 
  1526 * Theory "Library/Option_ord" provides instantiation of option type to
  1527 lattice type classes.
  1528 
  1529 * Theory "Library/Multiset": renamed
  1530 
  1531     constant fold_mset ~> Multiset.fold
  1532     fact fold_mset_commute ~> fold_mset_comm
  1533 
  1534 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1535 
  1536 * Renamed theory Library/List_Prefix to Library/Sublist, with related
  1537 changes as follows.
  1538 
  1539   - Renamed constants (and related lemmas)
  1540 
  1541       prefix ~> prefixeq
  1542       strict_prefix ~> prefix
  1543 
  1544   - Replaced constant "postfix" by "suffixeq" with swapped argument
  1545     order (i.e., "postfix xs ys" is now "suffixeq ys xs") and dropped
  1546     old infix syntax "xs >>= ys"; use "suffixeq ys xs" instead.
  1547     Renamed lemmas accordingly.
  1548 
  1549   - Added constant "list_hembeq" for homeomorphic embedding on
  1550     lists. Added abbreviation "sublisteq" for special case
  1551     "list_hembeq (op =)".
  1552 
  1553   - Theory Library/Sublist no longer provides "order" and "bot" type
  1554     class instances for the prefix order (merely corresponding locale
  1555     interpretations). The type class instances are now in theory
  1556     Library/Prefix_Order.
  1557 
  1558   - The sublist relation of theory Library/Sublist_Order is now based
  1559     on "Sublist.sublisteq".  Renamed lemmas accordingly:
  1560 
  1561       le_list_append_le_same_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append_le_same_iff
  1562       le_list_append_mono ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_append_mono
  1563       le_list_below_empty ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil, Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil2
  1564       le_list_Cons_EX ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_ConsD
  1565       le_list_drop_Cons2 ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2'
  1566       le_list_drop_Cons_neq ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2_neq
  1567       le_list_drop_Cons ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons'
  1568       le_list_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_drop_many
  1569       le_list_filter_left ~> Sublist.sublisteq_filter_left
  1570       le_list_rev_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_rev_drop_many
  1571       le_list_rev_take_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append
  1572       le_list_same_length ~> Sublist.sublisteq_same_length
  1573       le_list_take_many_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append'
  1574       less_eq_list.drop ~> less_eq_list_drop
  1575       less_eq_list.induct ~> less_eq_list_induct
  1576       not_le_list_length ~> Sublist.not_sublisteq_length
  1577 
  1578 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1579 
  1580 * New theory Library/Countable_Set.
  1581 
  1582 * Theory Library/Debug and Library/Parallel provide debugging and
  1583 parallel execution for code generated towards Isabelle/ML.
  1584 
  1585 * Theory Library/FuncSet: Extended support for Pi and extensional and
  1586 introduce the extensional dependent function space "PiE". Replaced
  1587 extensional_funcset by an abbreviation, and renamed lemmas from
  1588 extensional_funcset to PiE as follows:
  1589 
  1590   extensional_empty  ~>  PiE_empty
  1591   extensional_funcset_empty_domain  ~>  PiE_empty_domain
  1592   extensional_funcset_empty_range  ~>  PiE_empty_range
  1593   extensional_funcset_arb  ~>  PiE_arb
  1594   extensional_funcset_mem  ~>  PiE_mem
  1595   extensional_funcset_extend_domainI  ~>  PiE_fun_upd
  1596   extensional_funcset_restrict_domain  ~>  fun_upd_in_PiE
  1597   extensional_funcset_extend_domain_eq  ~>  PiE_insert_eq
  1598   card_extensional_funcset  ~>  card_PiE
  1599   finite_extensional_funcset  ~>  finite_PiE
  1600 
  1601 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1602 
  1603 * Theory Library/FinFun: theory of almost everywhere constant
  1604 functions (supersedes the AFP entry "Code Generation for Functions as
  1605 Data").
  1606 
  1607 * Theory Library/Phantom: generic phantom type to make a type
  1608 parameter appear in a constant's type.  This alternative to adding
  1609 TYPE('a) as another parameter avoids unnecessary closures in generated
  1610 code.
  1611 
  1612 * Theory Library/RBT_Impl: efficient construction of red-black trees
  1613 from sorted associative lists. Merging two trees with rbt_union may
  1614 return a structurally different tree than before.  Potential
  1615 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1616 
  1617 * Theory Library/IArray: immutable arrays with code generation.
  1618 
  1619 * Theory Library/Finite_Lattice: theory of finite lattices.
  1620 
  1621 * HOL/Multivariate_Analysis: replaced
  1622 
  1623   "basis :: 'a::euclidean_space => nat => real"
  1624   "\<Chi>\<Chi> :: (nat => real) => 'a::euclidean_space"
  1625 
  1626 on euclidean spaces by using the inner product "_ \<bullet> _" with
  1627 vectors from the Basis set: "\<Chi>\<Chi> i. f i" is superseded by
  1628 "SUM i : Basis. f i * r i".
  1629 
  1630   With this change the following constants are also changed or removed:
  1631 
  1632     DIM('a) :: nat  ~>  card (Basis :: 'a set)   (is an abbreviation)
  1633     a $$ i  ~>  inner a i  (where i : Basis)
  1634     cart_base i  removed
  1635     \<pi>, \<pi>'  removed
  1636 
  1637   Theorems about these constants where removed.
  1638 
  1639   Renamed lemmas:
  1640 
  1641     component_le_norm  ~>  Basis_le_norm
  1642     euclidean_eq  ~>  euclidean_eq_iff
  1643     differential_zero_maxmin_component  ~>  differential_zero_maxmin_cart
  1644     euclidean_simps  ~>  inner_simps
  1645     independent_basis  ~>  independent_Basis
  1646     span_basis  ~>  span_Basis
  1647     in_span_basis  ~>  in_span_Basis
  1648     norm_bound_component_le  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_le
  1649     norm_bound_component_lt  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_lt
  1650     component_le_infnorm  ~>  Basis_le_infnorm
  1651 
  1652 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1653 
  1654 * HOL/Probability:
  1655 
  1656   - Added simproc "measurable" to automatically prove measurability.
  1657 
  1658   - Added induction rules for sigma sets with disjoint union
  1659     (sigma_sets_induct_disjoint) and for Borel-measurable functions
  1660     (borel_measurable_induct).
  1661 
  1662   - Added the Daniell-Kolmogorov theorem (the existence the limit of a
  1663     projective family).
  1664 
  1665 * HOL/Cardinals: Theories of ordinals and cardinals (supersedes the
  1666 AFP entry "Ordinals_and_Cardinals").
  1667 
  1668 * HOL/BNF: New (co)datatype package based on bounded natural functors
  1669 with support for mixed, nested recursion and interesting non-free
  1670 datatypes.
  1671 
  1672 * HOL/Finite_Set and Relation: added new set and relation operations
  1673 expressed by Finite_Set.fold.
  1674 
  1675 * New theory HOL/Library/RBT_Set: implementation of sets by red-black
  1676 trees for the code generator.
  1677 
  1678 * HOL/Library/RBT and HOL/Library/Mapping have been converted to
  1679 Lifting/Transfer.
  1680 possible INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1681 
  1682 * HOL/Set: renamed Set.project -> Set.filter
  1683 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1684 
  1685 
  1686 *** Document preparation ***
  1687 
  1688 * Dropped legacy antiquotations "term_style" and "thm_style", since
  1689 styles may be given as arguments to "term" and "thm" already.
  1690 Discontinued legacy styles "prem1" .. "prem19".
  1691 
  1692 * Default LaTeX rendering for \<euro> is now based on eurosym package,
  1693 instead of slightly exotic babel/greek.
  1694 
  1695 * Document variant NAME may use different LaTeX entry point
  1696 document/root_NAME.tex if that file exists, instead of the common
  1697 document/root.tex.
  1698 
  1699 * Simplified custom document/build script, instead of old-style
  1700 document/IsaMakefile.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1701 
  1702 
  1703 *** ML ***
  1704 
  1705 * The default limit for maximum number of worker threads is now 8,
  1706 instead of 4, in correspondence to capabilities of contemporary
  1707 hardware and Poly/ML runtime system.
  1708 
  1709 * Type Seq.results and related operations support embedded error
  1710 messages within lazy enumerations, and thus allow to provide
  1711 informative errors in the absence of any usable results.
  1712 
  1713 * Renamed Position.str_of to Position.here to emphasize that this is a
  1714 formal device to inline positions into message text, but not
  1715 necessarily printing visible text.
  1716 
  1717 
  1718 *** System ***
  1719 
  1720 * Advanced support for Isabelle sessions and build management, see
  1721 "system" manual for the chapter of that name, especially the "isabelle
  1722 build" tool and its examples.  The "isabelle mkroot" tool prepares
  1723 session root directories for use with "isabelle build", similar to
  1724 former "isabelle mkdir" for "isabelle usedir".  Note that this affects
  1725 document preparation as well.  INCOMPATIBILITY, isabelle usedir /
  1726 mkdir / make are rendered obsolete.
  1727 
  1728 * Discontinued obsolete Isabelle/build script, it is superseded by the
  1729 regular isabelle build tool.  For example:
  1730 
  1731   isabelle build -s -b HOL
  1732 
  1733 * Discontinued obsolete "isabelle makeall".
  1734 
  1735 * Discontinued obsolete IsaMakefile and ROOT.ML files from the
  1736 Isabelle distribution, except for rudimentary src/HOL/IsaMakefile that
  1737 provides some traditional targets that invoke "isabelle build".  Note
  1738 that this is inefficient!  Applications of Isabelle/HOL involving
  1739 "isabelle make" should be upgraded to use "isabelle build" directly.
  1740 
  1741 * The "isabelle options" tool prints Isabelle system options, as
  1742 required for "isabelle build", for example.
  1743 
  1744 * The "isabelle logo" tool produces EPS and PDF format simultaneously.
  1745 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY in command-line options.
  1746 
  1747 * The "isabelle install" tool has now a simpler command-line.  Minor
  1748 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1749 
  1750 * The "isabelle components" tool helps to resolve add-on components
  1751 that are not bundled, or referenced from a bare-bones repository
  1752 version of Isabelle.
  1753 
  1754 * Settings variable ISABELLE_PLATFORM_FAMILY refers to the general
  1755 platform family: "linux", "macos", "windows".
  1756 
  1757 * The ML system is configured as regular component, and no longer
  1758 picked up from some surrounding directory.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  1759 for home-made settings.
  1760 
  1761 * Improved ML runtime statistics (heap, threads, future tasks etc.).
  1762 
  1763 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2.1, which was the last version
  1764 without exception positions and advanced ML compiler/toplevel
  1765 configuration.
  1766 
  1767 * Discontinued special treatment of Proof General -- no longer guess
  1768 PROOFGENERAL_HOME based on accidental file-system layout.  Minor
  1769 INCOMPATIBILITY: provide PROOFGENERAL_HOME and PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS
  1770 settings manually, or use a Proof General version that has been
  1771 bundled as Isabelle component.
  1772 
  1773 
  1774 
  1775 New in Isabelle2012 (May 2012)
  1776 ------------------------------
  1777 
  1778 *** General ***
  1779 
  1780 * Prover IDE (PIDE) improvements:
  1781 
  1782   - more robust Sledgehammer integration (as before the sledgehammer
  1783     command-line needs to be typed into the source buffer)
  1784   - markup for bound variables
  1785   - markup for types of term variables (displayed as tooltips)
  1786   - support for user-defined Isar commands within the running session
  1787   - improved support for Unicode outside original 16bit range
  1788     e.g. glyph for \<A> (thanks to jEdit 4.5.1)
  1789 
  1790 * Forward declaration of outer syntax keywords within the theory
  1791 header -- minor INCOMPATIBILITY for user-defined commands.  Allow new
  1792 commands to be used in the same theory where defined.
  1793 
  1794 * Auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for specifications with
  1795 additional parameters and assumptions.  Such unnamed contexts may be
  1796 nested within other targets, like 'theory', 'locale', 'class',
  1797 'instantiation' etc.  Results from the local context are generalized
  1798 accordingly and applied to the enclosing target context.  Example:
  1799 
  1800   context
  1801     fixes x y z :: 'a
  1802     assumes xy: "x = y" and yz: "y = z"
  1803   begin
  1804 
  1805   lemma my_trans: "x = z" using xy yz by simp
  1806 
  1807   end
  1808 
  1809   thm my_trans
  1810 
  1811 The most basic application is to factor-out context elements of
  1812 several fixes/assumes/shows theorem statements, e.g. see
  1813 ~~/src/HOL/Isar_Examples/Group_Context.thy
  1814 
  1815 Any other local theory specification element works within the "context
  1816 ... begin ... end" block as well.
  1817 
  1818 * Bundled declarations associate attributed fact expressions with a
  1819 given name in the context.  These may be later included in other
  1820 contexts.  This allows to manage context extensions casually, without
  1821 the logical dependencies of locales and locale interpretation.  See
  1822 commands 'bundle', 'include', 'including' etc. in the isar-ref manual.
  1823 
  1824 * Commands 'lemmas' and 'theorems' allow local variables using 'for'
  1825 declaration, and results are standardized before being stored.  Thus
  1826 old-style "standard" after instantiation or composition of facts
  1827 becomes obsolete.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, due to potential change of
  1828 indices of schematic variables.
  1829 
  1830 * Rule attributes in local theory declarations (e.g. locale or class)
  1831 are now statically evaluated: the resulting theorem is stored instead
  1832 of the original expression.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  1833 the historic accident of dynamic re-evaluation in interpretations
  1834 etc. was exploited.
  1835 
  1836 * New tutorial "Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL"
  1837 ("prog-prove").  It completely supersedes "A Tutorial Introduction to
  1838 Structured Isar Proofs" ("isar-overview"), which has been removed.  It
  1839 also supersedes "Isabelle/HOL, A Proof Assistant for Higher-Order
  1840 Logic" as the recommended beginners tutorial, but does not cover all
  1841 of the material of that old tutorial.
  1842 
  1843 * Updated and extended reference manuals: "isar-ref",
  1844 "implementation", "system"; reduced remaining material in old "ref"
  1845 manual.
  1846 
  1847 
  1848 *** Pure ***
  1849 
  1850 * Command 'definition' no longer exports the foundational "raw_def"
  1851 into the user context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, may use the regular
  1852 "def" result with attribute "abs_def" to imitate the old version.
  1853 
  1854 * Attribute "abs_def" turns an equation of the form "f x y == t" into
  1855 "f == %x y. t", which ensures that "simp" or "unfold" steps always
  1856 expand it.  This also works for object-logic equality.  (Formerly
  1857 undocumented feature.)
  1858 
  1859 * Sort constraints are now propagated in simultaneous statements, just
  1860 like type constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  1861 distinct sorts used to be assigned accidentally.  For example:
  1862 
  1863   lemma "P (x::'a::foo)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"  -- "now illegal"
  1864 
  1865   lemma "P (x::'a)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"
  1866     -- "now uniform 'a::bar instead of default sort for first occurrence (!)"
  1867 
  1868 * Rule composition via attribute "OF" (or ML functions OF/MRS) is more
  1869 tolerant against multiple unifiers, as long as the final result is
  1870 unique.  (As before, rules are composed in canonical right-to-left
  1871 order to accommodate newly introduced premises.)
  1872 
  1873 * Renamed some inner syntax categories:
  1874 
  1875     num ~> num_token
  1876     xnum ~> xnum_token
  1877     xstr ~> str_token
  1878 
  1879 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that in practice "num_const" or
  1880 "num_position" etc. are mainly used instead (which also include
  1881 position information via constraints).
  1882 
  1883 * Simplified configuration options for syntax ambiguity: see
  1884 "syntax_ambiguity_warning" and "syntax_ambiguity_limit" in isar-ref
  1885 manual.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1886 
  1887 * Discontinued configuration option "syntax_positions": atomic terms
  1888 in parse trees are always annotated by position constraints.
  1889 
  1890 * Old code generator for SML and its commands 'code_module',
  1891 'code_library', 'consts_code', 'types_code' have been discontinued.
  1892 Use commands of the generic code generator instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1893 
  1894 * Redundant attribute "code_inline" has been discontinued. Use
  1895 "code_unfold" instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1896 
  1897 * Dropped attribute "code_unfold_post" in favor of the its dual
  1898 "code_abbrev", which yields a common pattern in definitions like
  1899 
  1900   definition [code_abbrev]: "f = t"
  1901 
  1902 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1903 
  1904 * Obsolete 'types' command has been discontinued.  Use 'type_synonym'
  1905 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1906 
  1907 * Discontinued old "prems" fact, which used to refer to the accidental
  1908 collection of foundational premises in the context (already marked as
  1909 legacy since Isabelle2011).
  1910 
  1911 
  1912 *** HOL ***
  1913 
  1914 * Type 'a set is now a proper type constructor (just as before
  1915 Isabelle2008).  Definitions mem_def and Collect_def have disappeared.
  1916 Non-trivial INCOMPATIBILITY.  For developments keeping predicates and
  1917 sets separate, it is often sufficient to rephrase some set S that has
  1918 been accidentally used as predicates by "%x. x : S", and some
  1919 predicate P that has been accidentally used as set by "{x. P x}".
  1920 Corresponding proofs in a first step should be pruned from any
  1921 tinkering with former theorems mem_def and Collect_def as far as
  1922 possible.
  1923 
  1924 For developments which deliberately mix predicates and sets, a
  1925 planning step is necessary to determine what should become a predicate
  1926 and what a set.  It can be helpful to carry out that step in
  1927 Isabelle2011-1 before jumping right into the current release.
  1928 
  1929 * Code generation by default implements sets as container type rather
  1930 than predicates.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1931 
  1932 * New type synonym 'a rel = ('a * 'a) set
  1933 
  1934 * The representation of numerals has changed.  Datatype "num"
  1935 represents strictly positive binary numerals, along with functions
  1936 "numeral :: num => 'a" and "neg_numeral :: num => 'a" to represent
  1937 positive and negated numeric literals, respectively.  See also
  1938 definitions in ~~/src/HOL/Num.thy.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, some
  1939 user theories may require adaptations as follows:
  1940 
  1941   - Theorems with number_ring or number_semiring constraints: These
  1942     classes are gone; use comm_ring_1 or comm_semiring_1 instead.
  1943 
  1944   - Theories defining numeric types: Remove number, number_semiring,
  1945     and number_ring instances. Defer all theorems about numerals until
  1946     after classes one and semigroup_add have been instantiated.
  1947 
  1948   - Numeral-only simp rules: Replace each rule having a "number_of v"
  1949     pattern with two copies, one for numeral and one for neg_numeral.
  1950 
  1951   - Theorems about subclasses of semiring_1 or ring_1: These classes
  1952     automatically support numerals now, so more simp rules and
  1953     simprocs may now apply within the proof.
  1954 
  1955   - Definitions and theorems using old constructors Pls/Min/Bit0/Bit1:
  1956     Redefine using other integer operations.
  1957 
  1958 * Transfer: New package intended to generalize the existing
  1959 "descending" method and related theorem attributes from the Quotient
  1960 package.  (Not all functionality is implemented yet, but future
  1961 development will focus on Transfer as an eventual replacement for the
  1962 corresponding parts of the Quotient package.)
  1963 
  1964   - transfer_rule attribute: Maintains a collection of transfer rules,
  1965     which relate constants at two different types. Transfer rules may
  1966     relate different type instances of the same polymorphic constant,
  1967     or they may relate an operation on a raw type to a corresponding
  1968     operation on an abstract type (quotient or subtype). For example:
  1969 
  1970     ((A ===> B) ===> list_all2 A ===> list_all2 B) map map
  1971     (cr_int ===> cr_int ===> cr_int) (%(x,y) (u,v). (x+u, y+v)) plus_int
  1972 
  1973   - transfer method: Replaces a subgoal on abstract types with an
  1974     equivalent subgoal on the corresponding raw types. Constants are
  1975     replaced with corresponding ones according to the transfer rules.
  1976     Goals are generalized over all free variables by default; this is
  1977     necessary for variables whose types change, but can be overridden
  1978     for specific variables with e.g. "transfer fixing: x y z".  The
  1979     variant transfer' method allows replacing a subgoal with one that
  1980     is logically stronger (rather than equivalent).
  1981 
  1982   - relator_eq attribute: Collects identity laws for relators of
  1983     various type constructors, e.g. "list_all2 (op =) = (op =)".  The
  1984     transfer method uses these lemmas to infer transfer rules for
  1985     non-polymorphic constants on the fly.
  1986 
  1987   - transfer_prover method: Assists with proving a transfer rule for a
  1988     new constant, provided the constant is defined in terms of other
  1989     constants that already have transfer rules. It should be applied
  1990     after unfolding the constant definitions.
  1991 
  1992   - HOL/ex/Transfer_Int_Nat.thy: Example theory demonstrating transfer
  1993     from type nat to type int.
  1994 
  1995 * Lifting: New package intended to generalize the quotient_definition
  1996 facility of the Quotient package; designed to work with Transfer.
  1997 
  1998   - lift_definition command: Defines operations on an abstract type in
  1999     terms of a corresponding operation on a representation
  2000     type.  Example syntax:
  2001 
  2002     lift_definition dlist_insert :: "'a => 'a dlist => 'a dlist"
  2003       is List.insert
  2004 
  2005     Users must discharge a respectfulness proof obligation when each
  2006     constant is defined. (For a type copy, i.e. a typedef with UNIV,
  2007     the proof is discharged automatically.) The obligation is
  2008     presented in a user-friendly, readable form; a respectfulness
  2009     theorem in the standard format and a transfer rule are generated
  2010     by the package.
  2011 
  2012   - Integration with code_abstype: For typedefs (e.g. subtypes
  2013     corresponding to a datatype invariant, such as dlist),
  2014     lift_definition generates a code certificate theorem and sets up
  2015     code generation for each constant.
  2016 
  2017   - setup_lifting command: Sets up the Lifting package to work with a
  2018     user-defined type. The user must provide either a quotient theorem
  2019     or a type_definition theorem.  The package configures transfer
  2020     rules for equality and quantifiers on the type, and sets up the
  2021     lift_definition command to work with the type.
  2022 
  2023   - Usage examples: See Quotient_Examples/Lift_DList.thy,
  2024     Quotient_Examples/Lift_RBT.thy, Quotient_Examples/Lift_FSet.thy,
  2025     Word/Word.thy and Library/Float.thy.
  2026 
  2027 * Quotient package:
  2028 
  2029   - The 'quotient_type' command now supports a 'morphisms' option with
  2030     rep and abs functions, similar to typedef.
  2031 
  2032   - 'quotient_type' sets up new types to work with the Lifting and
  2033     Transfer packages, as with 'setup_lifting'.
  2034 
  2035   - The 'quotient_definition' command now requires the user to prove a
  2036     respectfulness property at the point where the constant is
  2037     defined, similar to lift_definition; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2038 
  2039   - Renamed predicate 'Quotient' to 'Quotient3', and renamed theorems
  2040     accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2041 
  2042 * New diagnostic command 'find_unused_assms' to find potentially
  2043 superfluous assumptions in theorems using Quickcheck.
  2044 
  2045 * Quickcheck:
  2046 
  2047   - Quickcheck returns variable assignments as counterexamples, which
  2048     allows to reveal the underspecification of functions under test.
  2049     For example, refuting "hd xs = x", it presents the variable
  2050     assignment xs = [] and x = a1 as a counterexample, assuming that
  2051     any property is false whenever "hd []" occurs in it.
  2052 
  2053     These counterexample are marked as potentially spurious, as
  2054     Quickcheck also returns "xs = []" as a counterexample to the
  2055     obvious theorem "hd xs = hd xs".
  2056 
  2057     After finding a potentially spurious counterexample, Quickcheck
  2058     continues searching for genuine ones.
  2059 
  2060     By default, Quickcheck shows potentially spurious and genuine
  2061     counterexamples. The option "genuine_only" sets quickcheck to only
  2062     show genuine counterexamples.
  2063 
  2064   - The command 'quickcheck_generator' creates random and exhaustive
  2065     value generators for a given type and operations.
  2066 
  2067     It generates values by using the operations as if they were
  2068     constructors of that type.
  2069 
  2070   - Support for multisets.
  2071 
  2072   - Added "use_subtype" options.
  2073 
  2074   - Added "quickcheck_locale" configuration to specify how to process
  2075     conjectures in a locale context.
  2076 
  2077 * Nitpick: Fixed infinite loop caused by the 'peephole_optim' option
  2078 and affecting 'rat' and 'real'.
  2079 
  2080 * Sledgehammer:
  2081   - Integrated more tightly with SPASS, as described in the ITP 2012
  2082     paper "More SPASS with Isabelle".
  2083   - Made it try "smt" as a fallback if "metis" fails or times out.
  2084   - Added support for the following provers: Alt-Ergo (via Why3 and
  2085     TFF1), iProver, iProver-Eq.
  2086   - Sped up the minimizer.
  2087   - Added "lam_trans", "uncurry_aliases", and "minimize" options.
  2088   - Renamed "slicing" ("no_slicing") option to "slice" ("dont_slice").
  2089   - Renamed "sound" option to "strict".
  2090 
  2091 * Metis: Added possibility to specify lambda translations scheme as a
  2092 parenthesized argument (e.g., "by (metis (lifting) ...)").
  2093 
  2094 * SMT: Renamed "smt_fixed" option to "smt_read_only_certificates".
  2095 
  2096 * Command 'try0': Renamed from 'try_methods'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2097 
  2098 * New "case_product" attribute to generate a case rule doing multiple
  2099 case distinctions at the same time.  E.g.
  2100 
  2101   list.exhaust [case_product nat.exhaust]
  2102 
  2103 produces a rule which can be used to perform case distinction on both
  2104 a list and a nat.
  2105 
  2106 * New "eventually_elim" method as a generalized variant of the
  2107 eventually_elim* rules.  Supports structured proofs.
  2108 
  2109 * Typedef with implicit set definition is considered legacy.  Use
  2110 "typedef (open)" form instead, which will eventually become the
  2111 default.
  2112 
  2113 * Record: code generation can be switched off manually with
  2114 
  2115   declare [[record_coden = false]]  -- "default true"
  2116 
  2117 * Datatype: type parameters allow explicit sort constraints.
  2118 
  2119 * Concrete syntax for case expressions includes constraints for source
  2120 positions, and thus produces Prover IDE markup for its bindings.
  2121 INCOMPATIBILITY for old-style syntax translations that augment the
  2122 pattern notation; e.g. see src/HOL/HOLCF/One.thy for translations of
  2123 one_case.
  2124 
  2125 * Clarified attribute "mono_set": pure declaration without modifying
  2126 the result of the fact expression.
  2127 
  2128 * More default pred/set conversions on a couple of relation operations
  2129 and predicates.  Added powers of predicate relations.  Consolidation
  2130 of some relation theorems:
  2131 
  2132   converse_def ~> converse_unfold
  2133   rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
  2134   symp_def ~> (modified, use symp_def and sym_def instead)
  2135   transp_def ~> transp_trans
  2136   Domain_def ~> Domain_unfold
  2137   Range_def ~> Domain_converse [symmetric]
  2138 
  2139 Generalized theorems INF_INT_eq, INF_INT_eq2, SUP_UN_eq, SUP_UN_eq2.
  2140 
  2141 See theory "Relation" for examples for making use of pred/set
  2142 conversions by means of attributes "to_set" and "to_pred".
  2143 
  2144 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2145 
  2146 * Renamed facts about the power operation on relations, i.e., relpow
  2147 to match the constant's name:
  2148 
  2149   rel_pow_1 ~> relpow_1
  2150   rel_pow_0_I ~> relpow_0_I
  2151   rel_pow_Suc_I ~> relpow_Suc_I
  2152   rel_pow_Suc_I2 ~> relpow_Suc_I2
  2153   rel_pow_0_E ~> relpow_0_E
  2154   rel_pow_Suc_E ~> relpow_Suc_E
  2155   rel_pow_E ~> relpow_E
  2156   rel_pow_Suc_D2 ~> relpow_Suc_D2
  2157   rel_pow_Suc_E2 ~> relpow_Suc_E2
  2158   rel_pow_Suc_D2' ~> relpow_Suc_D2'
  2159   rel_pow_E2 ~> relpow_E2

  2531 simpler, and more scalable.  Requires a proof bundle, which is
  2532 available as an external component.  Discontinued old (and mostly
  2533 dead) Importer for HOL4 and HOL Light.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2534 
  2535 * Session HOL-Word: Discontinued many redundant theorems specific to
  2536 type 'a word. INCOMPATIBILITY, use the corresponding generic theorems
  2537 instead.

  2581 * Session HOL-Word: New proof method "word_bitwise" for splitting
  2582 machine word equalities and inequalities into logical circuits,
  2583 defined in HOL/Word/WordBitwise.thy.  Supports addition, subtraction,
  2584 multiplication, shifting by constants, bitwise operators and numeric
  2585 constants.  Requires fixed-length word types, not 'a word.  Solves
  2586 many standard word identities outright and converts more into first
  2587 order problems amenable to blast or similar.  See also examples in
  2588 HOL/Word/Examples/WordExamples.thy.
  2589 
  2590 * Session HOL-Probability: Introduced the type "'a measure" to
  2591 represent measures, this replaces the records 'a algebra and 'a
  2592 measure_space.  The locales based on subset_class now have two
  2593 locale-parameters the space \<Omega> and the set of measurable sets M.
  2594 The product of probability spaces uses now the same constant as the
  2595 finite product of sigma-finite measure spaces "PiM :: ('i => 'a)
  2596 measure".  Most constants are defined now outside of locales and gain
  2597 an additional parameter, like null_sets, almost_eventually or \<mu>'.
  2598 Measure space constructions for distributions and densities now got
  2599 their own constants distr and density.  Instead of using locales to
  2600 describe measure spaces with a finite space, the measure count_space
  2601 and point_measure is introduced.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2602 
  2603   Renamed constants:
  2604   measure -> emeasure
  2605   finite_measure.\<mu>' -> measure
  2606   product_algebra_generator -> prod_algebra
  2607   product_prob_space.emb -> prod_emb
  2608   product_prob_space.infprod_algebra -> PiM
  2609 
  2610   Removed locales:

  2620   pair_finite_space
  2621   pair_sigma_algebra
  2622   product_sigma_algebra
  2623 
  2624   Removed constants:
  2625   conditional_space
  2626   distribution -> use distr measure, or distributed predicate
  2627   image_space
  2628   joint_distribution -> use distr measure, or distributed predicate

  2763 * Session HOL-TPTP: support to parse and import TPTP problems (all
  2764 languages) into Isabelle/HOL.
  2765 
  2766 
  2767 *** FOL ***
  2768 
  2769 * New "case_product" attribute (see HOL).
  2770 
  2771 
  2772 *** ZF ***
  2773 
  2774 * Greater support for structured proofs involving induction or case
  2775 analysis.
  2776 
  2777 * Much greater use of mathematical symbols.
  2778 
  2779 * Removal of many ML theorem bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2780 
  2781 
  2782 *** ML ***
  2783 
  2784 * Antiquotation @{keyword "name"} produces a parser for outer syntax
  2785 from a minor keyword introduced via theory header declaration.
  2786 
  2787 * Antiquotation @{command_spec "name"} produces the
  2788 Outer_Syntax.command_spec from a major keyword introduced via theory
  2789 header declaration; it can be passed to Outer_Syntax.command etc.
  2790 
  2791 * Local_Theory.define no longer hard-wires default theorem name
  2792 "foo_def", but retains the binding as given.  If that is Binding.empty
  2793 / Attrib.empty_binding, the result is not registered as user-level
  2794 fact.  The Local_Theory.define_internal variant allows to specify a
  2795 non-empty name (used for the foundation in the background theory),
  2796 while omitting the fact binding in the user-context.  Potential
  2797 INCOMPATIBILITY for derived definitional packages: need to specify
  2798 naming policy for primitive definitions more explicitly.
  2799 
  2800 * Renamed Thm.capply to Thm.apply, and Thm.cabs to Thm.lambda in
  2801 conformance with similar operations in structure Term and Logic.
  2802 
  2803 * Antiquotation @{attributes [...]} embeds attribute source
  2804 representation into the ML text, which is particularly useful with
  2805 declarations like Local_Theory.note.
  2806 
  2807 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  2808 ProofContext has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2809 
  2810 * Refined Local_Theory.declaration {syntax, pervasive}, with subtle
  2811 change of semantics: update is applied to auxiliary local theory
  2812 context as well.
  2813 
  2814 * Modernized some old-style infix operations:
  2815 
  2816   addeqcongs    ~> Simplifier.add_eqcong
  2817   deleqcongs    ~> Simplifier.del_eqcong
  2818   addcongs      ~> Simplifier.add_cong
  2819   delcongs      ~> Simplifier.del_cong

  2824   settermless   ~> Simplifier.set_termless
  2825   setsubgoaler  ~> Simplifier.set_subgoaler
  2826   addsplits     ~> Splitter.add_split
  2827   delsplits     ~> Splitter.del_split
  2828 
  2829 
  2830 *** System ***
  2831 
  2832 * USER_HOME settings variable points to cross-platform user home
  2833 directory, which coincides with HOME on POSIX systems only.  Likewise,
  2834 the Isabelle path specification "~" now expands to $USER_HOME, instead
  2835 of former $HOME.  A different default for USER_HOME may be set
  2836 explicitly in shell environment, before Isabelle settings are
  2837 evaluated.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: need to adapt Isabelle path where
  2838 the generic user home was intended.
  2839 
  2840 * ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS refers to ISABELLE_HOME in windows file name
  2841 notation, which is useful for the jEdit file browser, for example.
  2842 
  2843 * ISABELLE_JDK_HOME settings variable points to JDK with javac and jar
  2844 (not just JRE).
  2845 
  2846 
  2847 
  2848 New in Isabelle2011-1 (October 2011)
  2849 ------------------------------------
  2850 
  2851 *** General ***
  2852 
  2853 * Improved Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE (PIDE), which can be invoked as
  2854 "isabelle jedit" or "ISABELLE_HOME/Isabelle" on the command line.
  2855 
  2856   - Management of multiple theory files directly from the editor
  2857     buffer store -- bypassing the file-system (no requirement to save
  2858     files for checking).
  2859 
  2860   - Markup of formal entities within the text buffer, with semantic
  2861     highlighting, tooltips and hyperlinks to jump to defining source
  2862     positions.
  2863 
  2864   - Improved text rendering, with sub/superscripts in the source
  2865     buffer (including support for copy/paste wrt. output panel, HTML
  2866     theory output and other non-Isabelle text boxes).
  2867 
  2868   - Refined scheduling of proof checking and printing of results,
  2869     based on interactive editor view.  (Note: jEdit folding and
  2870     narrowing allows to restrict buffer perspectives explicitly.)
  2871 
  2872   - Reduced CPU performance requirements, usable on machines with few
  2873     cores.
  2874 
  2875   - Reduced memory requirements due to pruning of unused document
  2876     versions (garbage collection).
  2877 
  2878 See also ~~/src/Tools/jEdit/README.html for further information,
  2879 including some remaining limitations.
  2880 
  2881 * Theory loader: source files are exclusively located via the master
  2882 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  2883 The global load path (such as src/HOL/Library) has been discontinued.
  2884 Note that the path element ~~ may be used to reference theories in the
  2885 Isabelle home folder -- for instance, "~~/src/HOL/Library/FuncSet".
  2886 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2887 
  2888 * Theory loader: source files are identified by content via SHA1
  2889 digests.  Discontinued former path/modtime identification and optional
  2890 ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT plugin scripts.
  2891 
  2892 * Parallelization of nested Isar proofs is subject to
  2893 Goal.parallel_proofs_threshold (default 100).  See also isabelle
  2894 usedir option -Q.
  2895 
  2896 * Name space: former unsynchronized references are now proper
  2897 configuration options, with more conventional names:
  2898 
  2899   long_names   ~> names_long
  2900   short_names  ~> names_short
  2901   unique_names ~> names_unique
  2902 
  2903 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, need to declare options in context like this:
  2904

  2906 
  2907 * Literal facts `prop` may contain dummy patterns, e.g. `_ = _`.  Note
  2908 that the result needs to be unique, which means fact specifications
  2909 may have to be refined after enriching a proof context.
  2910 
  2911 * Attribute "case_names" has been refined: the assumptions in each case
  2912 can be named now by following the case name with [name1 name2 ...].
  2913 
  2914 * Isabelle/Isar reference manual has been updated and extended:
  2915   - "Synopsis" provides a catalog of main Isar language concepts.
  2916   - Formal references in syntax diagrams, via @{rail} antiquotation.
  2917   - Updated material from classic "ref" manual, notably about
  2918     "Classical Reasoner".

  2922 
  2923 * Class bot and top require underlying partial order rather than
  2924 preorder: uniqueness of bot and top is guaranteed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2925 
  2926 * Class complete_lattice: generalized a couple of lemmas from sets;
  2927 generalized theorems INF_cong and SUP_cong.  New type classes for
  2928 complete boolean algebras and complete linear orders.  Lemmas
  2929 Inf_less_iff, less_Sup_iff, INF_less_iff, less_SUP_iff now reside in
  2930 class complete_linorder.
  2931 
  2932 Changed proposition of lemmas Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, Inf_fun_def,
  2933 Sup_fun_def, Inf_apply, Sup_apply.
  2934 
  2935 Removed redundant lemmas (the right hand side gives hints how to
  2936 replace them for (metis ...), or (simp only: ...) proofs):
  2937 
  2938   Inf_singleton ~> Inf_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Inf_empty inf_top_right]

  2969 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2970 
  2971 * Renamed theory Complete_Lattice to Complete_Lattices.
  2972 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2973 
  2974 * Theory Complete_Lattices: lemmas Inf_eq_top_iff, INF_eq_top_iff,
  2975 INF_image, Inf_insert, INF_top, Inf_top_conv, INF_top_conv, SUP_bot,
  2976 Sup_bot_conv, SUP_bot_conv, Sup_eq_top_iff, SUP_eq_top_iff, SUP_image,
  2977 Sup_insert are now declared as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2978 
  2979 * Theory Lattice: lemmas compl_inf_bot, compl_le_comp_iff,
  2980 compl_sup_top, inf_idem, inf_left_idem, inf_sup_absorb, sup_idem,
  2981 sup_inf_absob, sup_left_idem are now declared as [simp].  Minor
  2982 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2983 
  2984 * Added syntactic classes "inf" and "sup" for the respective
  2985 constants.  INCOMPATIBILITY: Changes in the argument order of the
  2986 (mostly internal) locale predicates for some derived classes.
  2987 
  2988 * Theorem collections ball_simps and bex_simps do not contain theorems
  2989 referring to UNION any longer; these have been moved to collection
  2990 UN_ball_bex_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2991 
  2992 * Theory Archimedean_Field: floor now is defined as parameter of a
  2993 separate type class floor_ceiling.
  2994 
  2995 * Theory Finite_Set: more coherent development of fold_set locales:
  2996 
  2997     locale fun_left_comm ~> locale comp_fun_commute
  2998     locale fun_left_comm_idem ~> locale comp_fun_idem
  2999 
  3000 Both use point-free characterization; interpretation proofs may need
  3001 adjustment.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3002 
  3003 * Theory Limits: Type "'a net" has been renamed to "'a filter", in
  3004 accordance with standard mathematical terminology. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3005 
  3006 * Theory Complex_Main: The locale interpretations for the
  3007 bounded_linear and bounded_bilinear locales have been removed, in
  3008 order to reduce the number of duplicate lemmas. Users must use the
  3009 original names for distributivity theorems, potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3104 
  3105 * Theory Complex_Main: The definition of infinite series was
  3106 generalized.  Now it is defined on the type class {topological_space,
  3107 comm_monoid_add}.  Hence it is useable also for extended real numbers.
  3108 
  3109 * Theory Complex_Main: The complex exponential function "expi" is now
  3110 a type-constrained abbreviation for "exp :: complex => complex"; thus
  3111 several polymorphic lemmas about "exp" are now applicable to "expi".
  3112 
  3113 * Code generation:
  3114 
  3115   - Theory Library/Code_Char_ord provides native ordering of
  3116     characters in the target language.
  3117 
  3118   - Commands code_module and code_library are legacy, use export_code
  3119     instead.
  3120 
  3121   - Method "evaluation" is legacy, use method "eval" instead.
  3122 
  3123   - Legacy evaluator "SML" is deactivated by default.  May be
  3124     reactivated by the following theory command:
  3125 
  3126       setup {* Value.add_evaluator ("SML", Codegen.eval_term) *}
  3127 
  3128 * Declare ext [intro] by default.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3129 
  3130 * New proof method "induction" that gives induction hypotheses the
  3131 name "IH", thus distinguishing them from further hypotheses that come
  3132 from rule induction.  The latter are still called "hyps".  Method
  3133 "induction" is a thin wrapper around "induct" and follows the same
  3134 syntax.
  3135 
  3136 * Method "fastsimp" has been renamed to "fastforce", but "fastsimp" is
  3137 still available as a legacy feature for some time.
  3138 
  3139 * Nitpick:
  3140   - Added "need" and "total_consts" options.
  3141   - Reintroduced "show_skolems" option by popular demand.
  3142   - Renamed attribute: nitpick_def ~> nitpick_unfold.
  3143     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3144 
  3145 * Sledgehammer:
  3146   - Use quasi-sound (and efficient) translations by default.
  3147   - Added support for the following provers: E-ToFoF, LEO-II,
  3148     Satallax, SNARK, Waldmeister, and Z3 with TPTP syntax.
  3149   - Automatically preplay and minimize proofs before showing them if
  3150     this can be done within reasonable time.
  3151   - sledgehammer available_provers ~> sledgehammer supported_provers.
  3152     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3153   - Added "preplay_timeout", "slicing", "type_enc", "sound",
  3154     "max_mono_iters", and "max_new_mono_instances" options.
  3155   - Removed "explicit_apply" and "full_types" options as well as "Full
  3156     Types" Proof General menu item. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3157 
  3158 * Metis:
  3159   - Removed "metisF" -- use "metis" instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3160   - Obsoleted "metisFT" -- use "metis (full_types)" instead.
  3161     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3162 
  3163 * Command 'try':
  3164   - Renamed 'try_methods' and added "simp:", "intro:", "dest:", and
  3165     "elim:" options. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3166   - Introduced 'try' that not only runs 'try_methods' but also
  3167     'solve_direct', 'sledgehammer', 'quickcheck', and 'nitpick'.
  3168 
  3169 * Quickcheck:
  3170   - Added "eval" option to evaluate terms for the found counterexample
  3171     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  3172   - Added post-processing of terms to obtain readable counterexamples
  3173     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  3174   - New counterexample generator quickcheck[narrowing] enables
  3175     narrowing-based testing.  Requires the Glasgow Haskell compiler
  3176     with its installation location defined in the Isabelle settings
  3177     environment as ISABELLE_GHC.
  3178   - Removed quickcheck tester "SML" based on the SML code generator
  3179     (formly in HOL/Library).
  3180 
  3181 * Function package: discontinued option "tailrec".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  3182 use 'partial_function' instead.
  3183 
  3184 * Theory Library/Extended_Reals replaces now the positive extended
  3185 reals found in probability theory. This file is extended by
  3186 Multivariate_Analysis/Extended_Real_Limits.
  3187 
  3188 * Theory Library/Old_Recdef: old 'recdef' package has been moved here,
  3189 from where it must be imported explicitly if it is really required.
  3190 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3191 
  3192 * Theory Library/Wfrec: well-founded recursion combinator "wfrec" has
  3193 been moved here.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3194 
  3195 * Theory Library/Saturated provides type of numbers with saturated
  3196 arithmetic.
  3197 
  3198 * Theory Library/Product_Lattice defines a pointwise ordering for the
  3199 product type 'a * 'b, and provides instance proofs for various order
  3200 and lattice type classes.
  3201 
  3202 * Theory Library/Countable now provides the "countable_datatype" proof
  3203 method for proving "countable" class instances for datatypes.
  3204 
  3205 * Theory Library/Cset_Monad allows do notation for computable sets
  3206 (cset) via the generic monad ad-hoc overloading facility.
  3207 
  3208 * Library: Theories of common data structures are split into theories
  3209 for implementation, an invariant-ensuring type, and connection to an
  3210 abstract type. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3211 
  3212   - RBT is split into RBT and RBT_Mapping.
  3213   - AssocList is split and renamed into AList and AList_Mapping.
  3214   - DList is split into DList_Impl, DList, and DList_Cset.
  3215   - Cset is split into Cset and List_Cset.
  3216 
  3217 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity has been renamed to
  3218 Library/Extended_Nat, with name changes of the following types and
  3219 constants:
  3220 
  3221   type inat   ~> type enat
  3222   Fin         ~> enat
  3223   Infty       ~> infinity (overloaded)
  3224   iSuc        ~> eSuc
  3225   the_Fin     ~> the_enat
  3226 
  3227 Every theorem name containing "inat", "Fin", "Infty", or "iSuc" has
  3228 been renamed accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3229 
  3230 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: The euclidean_space type class now
  3231 fixes a constant "Basis :: 'a set" consisting of the standard
  3232 orthonormal basis for the type. Users now have the option of
  3233 quantifying over this set instead of using the "basis" function, e.g.
  3234 "ALL x:Basis. P x" vs "ALL i<DIM('a). P (basis i)".
  3235 
  3236 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Type "('a, 'b) cart" has been renamed
  3237 to "('a, 'b) vec" (the syntax "'a ^ 'b" remains unaffected). Constants
  3238 "Cart_nth" and "Cart_lambda" have been respectively renamed to
  3239 "vec_nth" and "vec_lambda"; theorems mentioning those names have
  3240 changed to match. Definition theorems for overloaded constants now use
  3241 the standard "foo_vec_def" naming scheme. A few other theorems have
  3242 been renamed as follows (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  3243 
  3244   Cart_eq          ~> vec_eq_iff
  3245   dist_nth_le_cart ~> dist_vec_nth_le
  3246   tendsto_vector   ~> vec_tendstoI
  3247   Cauchy_vector    ~> vec_CauchyI
  3248 
  3249 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Several duplicate theorems have been
  3250 removed, and other theorems have been renamed or replaced with more
  3251 general versions. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3305 * Session HOL-Probability:
  3306   - Caratheodory's extension lemma is now proved for ring_of_sets.
  3307   - Infinite products of probability measures are now available.
  3308   - Sigma closure is independent, if the generator is independent
  3309   - Use extended reals instead of positive extended
  3310     reals. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3341 *** Document preparation ***
  3342 
  3343 * Antiquotation @{rail} layouts railroad syntax diagrams, see also
  3344 isar-ref manual, both for description and actual application of the
  3345 same.
  3346 
  3347 * Antiquotation @{value} evaluates the given term and presents its
  3348 result.
  3349 
  3350 * Antiquotations: term style "isub" provides ad-hoc conversion of
  3351 variables x1, y23 into subscripted form x\<^isub>1,
  3352 y\<^isub>2\<^isub>3.
  3353 
  3354 * Predefined LaTeX macros for Isabelle symbols \<bind> and \<then>
  3355 (e.g. see ~~/src/HOL/Library/Monad_Syntax.thy).
  3356 
  3357 * Localized \isabellestyle switch can be used within blocks or groups
  3358 like this:
  3359 
  3360   \isabellestyle{it}  %preferred default
  3361   {\isabellestylett @{text "typewriter stuff"}}
  3362 
  3363 * Discontinued special treatment of hard tabulators.  Implicit
  3364 tab-width is now defined as 1.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for visual
  3365 layouts.
  3366 
  3367 
  3368 *** ML ***
  3369 
  3370 * The inner syntax of sort/type/term/prop supports inlined YXML
  3371 representations within quoted string tokens.  By encoding logical
  3372 entities via Term_XML (in ML or Scala) concrete syntax can be
  3373 bypassed, which is particularly useful for producing bits of text
  3374 under external program control.
  3375 
  3376 * Antiquotations for ML and document preparation are managed as theory
  3377 data, which requires explicit setup.
  3378 
  3379 * Isabelle_Process.is_active allows tools to check if the official
  3380 process wrapper is running (Isabelle/Scala/jEdit) or the old TTY loop
  3381 (better known as Proof General).
  3382 
  3383 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  3384 ProofContext is still available for some time as legacy alias.
  3385 
  3386 * Structure Timing provides various operations for timing; supersedes
  3387 former start_timing/end_timing etc.
  3388 
  3389 * Path.print is the official way to show file-system paths to users
  3390 (including quotes etc.).
  3391 
  3392 * Inner syntax: identifiers in parse trees of generic categories
  3393 "logic", "aprop", "idt" etc. carry position information (disguised as
  3394 type constraints).  Occasional INCOMPATIBILITY with non-compliant
  3395 translations that choke on unexpected type constraints.  Positions can
  3396 be stripped in ML translations via Syntax.strip_positions /
  3397 Syntax.strip_positions_ast, or via the syntax constant
  3398 "_strip_positions" within parse trees.  As last resort, positions can
  3399 be disabled via the configuration option Syntax.positions, which is
  3400 called "syntax_positions" in Isar attribute syntax.
  3401 
  3402 * Discontinued special status of various ML structures that contribute
  3403 to structure Syntax (Ast, Lexicon, Mixfix, Parser, Printer etc.): less
  3404 pervasive content, no inclusion in structure Syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  3405 refer directly to Ast.Constant, Lexicon.is_identifier,
  3406 Syntax_Trans.mk_binder_tr etc.
  3407 
  3408 * Typed print translation: discontinued show_sorts argument, which is
  3409 already available via context of "advanced" translation.
  3410 
  3411 * Refined PARALLEL_GOALS tactical: degrades gracefully for schematic
  3412 goal states; body tactic needs to address all subgoals uniformly.
  3413 
  3414 * Slightly more special eq_list/eq_set, with shortcut involving
  3415 pointer equality (assumes that eq relation is reflexive).
  3416 
  3417 * Classical tactics use proper Proof.context instead of historic types
  3418 claset/clasimpset.  Old-style declarations like addIs, addEs, addDs
  3419 operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type claset retains its use as
  3420 snapshot of the classical context, which can be recovered via
  3421 (put_claset HOL_cs) etc.  Type clasimpset has been discontinued.
  3422 INCOMPATIBILITY, classical tactics and derived proof methods require
  3423 proper Proof.context.
  3424 
  3425 
  3426 *** System ***
  3427 
  3428 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2, which was the last version
  3429 without proper multithreading and TimeLimit implementation.
  3430 
  3431 * Discontinued old lib/scripts/polyml-platform, which has been
  3432 obsolete since Isabelle2009-2.
  3433 
  3434 * Various optional external tools are referenced more robustly and
  3435 uniformly by explicit Isabelle settings as follows:
  3436 
  3437   ISABELLE_CSDP   (formerly CSDP_EXE)
  3438   ISABELLE_GHC    (formerly EXEC_GHC or GHC_PATH)
  3439   ISABELLE_OCAML  (formerly EXEC_OCAML)
  3440   ISABELLE_SWIPL  (formerly EXEC_SWIPL)
  3441   ISABELLE_YAP    (formerly EXEC_YAP)
  3442 
  3443 Note that automated detection from the file-system or search path has
  3444 been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3445 
  3446 * Scala layer provides JVM method invocation service for static
  3447 methods of type (String)String, see Invoke_Scala.method in ML.  For
  3448 example:
  3449 
  3450   Invoke_Scala.method "java.lang.System.getProperty" "java.home"
  3451 
  3452 Together with YXML.string_of_body/parse_body and XML.Encode/Decode
  3453 this allows to pass structured values between ML and Scala.
  3454 
  3455 * The IsabelleText fonts includes some further glyphs to support the
  3456 Prover IDE.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: users who happen to have
  3457 installed a local copy (which is normally *not* required) need to
  3458 delete or update it from ~~/lib/fonts/.
  3459 
  3460 
  3461 
  3462 New in Isabelle2011 (January 2011)
  3463 ----------------------------------
  3464 
  3465 *** General ***
  3466 
  3467 * Experimental Prover IDE based on Isabelle/Scala and jEdit (see
  3468 src/Tools/jEdit).  This also serves as IDE for Isabelle/ML, with
  3469 useful tooltips and hyperlinks produced from its static analysis.  The
  3470 bundled component provides an executable Isabelle tool that can be run
  3471 like this:
  3472 
  3473   Isabelle2011/bin/isabelle jedit
  3474 
  3475 * Significantly improved Isabelle/Isar implementation manual.
  3476 
  3477 * System settings: ISABELLE_HOME_USER now includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER
  3478 (and thus refers to something like $HOME/.isabelle/Isabelle2011),
  3479 while the default heap location within that directory lacks that extra
  3480 suffix.  This isolates multiple Isabelle installations from each
  3481 other, avoiding problems with old settings in new versions.
  3482 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to copy/upgrade old user settings manually.
  3483 
  3484 * Source files are always encoded as UTF-8, instead of old-fashioned
  3485 ISO-Latin-1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Isabelle LaTeX documents might require
  3486 the following package declarations:
  3487 
  3488   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
  3489   \usepackage{textcomp}
  3490 
  3491 * Explicit treatment of UTF-8 sequences as Isabelle symbols, such that
  3492 a Unicode character is treated as a single symbol, not a sequence of
  3493 non-ASCII bytes as before.  Since Isabelle/ML string literals may
  3494 contain symbols without further backslash escapes, Unicode can now be
  3495 used here as well.  Recall that Symbol.explode in ML provides a
  3496 consistent view on symbols, while raw explode (or String.explode)
  3497 merely give a byte-oriented representation.
  3498 
  3499 * Theory loader: source files are primarily located via the master
  3500 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  3501 The global load path is still partially available as legacy feature.
  3502 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY due to subtle change in file lookup: use
  3503 explicit paths, relatively to the theory.
  3504 
  3505 * Special treatment of ML file names has been discontinued.
  3506 Historically, optional extensions .ML or .sml were added on demand --
  3507 at the cost of clarity of file dependencies.  Recall that Isabelle/ML
  3508 files exclusively use the .ML extension.  Minor INCOMPATIBILTY.
  3509 
  3510 * Various options that affect pretty printing etc. are now properly
  3511 handled within the context via configuration options, instead of
  3512 unsynchronized references or print modes.  There are both ML Config.T
  3513 entities and Isar declaration attributes to access these.
  3514 
  3515   ML (Config.T)                 Isar (attribute)

  3538   Thy_Output.break              thy_output_break
  3539 
  3540 Note that corresponding "..._default" references in ML may only be
  3541 changed globally at the ROOT session setup, but *not* within a theory.
  3542 The option "show_abbrevs" supersedes the former print mode
  3543 "no_abbrevs" with inverted meaning.
  3544 
  3545 * More systematic naming of some configuration options.
  3546 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3547 
  3548   trace_simp  ~>  simp_trace
  3549   debug_simp  ~>  simp_debug
  3550 
  3551 * Support for real valued configuration options, using simplistic
  3552 floating-point notation that coincides with the inner syntax for
  3553 float_token.
  3554 
  3555 * Support for real valued preferences (with approximative PGIP type):
  3556 front-ends need to accept "pgint" values in float notation.
  3557 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3558 
  3559 * The IsabelleText font now includes Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic from
  3560 DejaVu Sans.
  3561 
  3562 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.0 and 5.1 versions.
  3563 
  3564 
  3565 *** Pure ***
  3566 
  3567 * Command 'type_synonym' (with single argument) replaces somewhat
  3568 outdated 'types', which is still available as legacy feature for some
  3569 time.
  3570 
  3571 * Command 'nonterminal' (with 'and' separated list of arguments)
  3572 replaces somewhat outdated 'nonterminals'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3573 
  3574 * Command 'notepad' replaces former 'example_proof' for
  3575 experimentation in Isar without any result.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3576 
  3577 * Locale interpretation commands 'interpret' and 'sublocale' accept
  3578 lists of equations to map definitions in a locale to appropriate
  3579 entities in the context of the interpretation.  The 'interpretation'
  3580 command already provided this functionality.
  3581 
  3582 * Diagnostic command 'print_dependencies' prints the locale instances
  3583 that would be activated if the specified expression was interpreted in
  3584 the current context.  Variant "print_dependencies!" assumes a context
  3585 without interpretations.
  3586 
  3587 * Diagnostic command 'print_interps' prints interpretations in proofs
  3588 in addition to interpretations in theories.
  3589 
  3590 * Discontinued obsolete 'global' and 'local' commands to manipulate
  3591 the theory name space.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.  The ML functions
  3592 Sign.root_path and Sign.local_path may be applied directly where this
  3593 feature is still required for historical reasons.
  3594 
  3595 * Discontinued obsolete 'constdefs' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  3596 'definition' instead.
  3597 
  3598 * The "prems" fact, which refers to the accidental collection of
  3599 foundational premises in the context, is now explicitly marked as
  3600 legacy feature and will be discontinued soon.  Consider using "assms"
  3601 of the head statement or reference facts by explicit names.
  3602 
  3603 * Document antiquotations @{class} and @{type} print classes and type
  3604 constructors.
  3605 
  3606 * Document antiquotation @{file} checks file/directory entries within
  3607 the local file system.
  3608 
  3609 
  3610 *** HOL ***
  3611 
  3612 * Coercive subtyping: functions can be declared as coercions and type
  3613 inference will add them as necessary upon input of a term.  Theory
  3614 Complex_Main declares real :: nat => real and real :: int => real as
  3615 coercions. A coercion function f is declared like this:
  3616 
  3617   declare [[coercion f]]
  3618 
  3619 To lift coercions through type constructors (e.g. from nat => real to
  3620 nat list => real list), map functions can be declared, e.g.
  3621 
  3622   declare [[coercion_map map]]
  3623 
  3624 Currently coercion inference is activated only in theories including
  3625 real numbers, i.e. descendants of Complex_Main.  This is controlled by
  3626 the configuration option "coercion_enabled", e.g. it can be enabled in
  3627 other theories like this:
  3628 
  3629   declare [[coercion_enabled]]
  3630 
  3631 * Command 'partial_function' provides basic support for recursive
  3632 function definitions over complete partial orders.  Concrete instances
  3633 are provided for i) the option type, ii) tail recursion on arbitrary
  3634 types, and iii) the heap monad of Imperative_HOL.  See
  3635 src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy and src/HOL/Imperative_HOL/ex/Linked_Lists.thy
  3636 for examples.
  3637 
  3638 * Function package: f.psimps rules are no longer implicitly declared
  3639 as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3640 
  3641 * Datatype package: theorems generated for executable equality (class
  3642 "eq") carry proper names and are treated as default code equations.
  3643 
  3644 * Inductive package: now offers command 'inductive_simps' to
  3645 automatically derive instantiated and simplified equations for
  3646 inductive predicates, similar to 'inductive_cases'.
  3647 
  3648 * Command 'enriched_type' allows to register properties of the
  3649 functorial structure of types.
  3650 
  3651 * Improved infrastructure for term evaluation using code generator
  3652 techniques, in particular static evaluation conversions.
  3653 
  3654 * Code generator: Scala (2.8 or higher) has been added to the target
  3655 languages.
  3656 
  3657 * Code generator: globbing constant expressions "*" and "Theory.*"
  3658 have been replaced by the more idiomatic "_" and "Theory._".
  3659 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3660 
  3661 * Code generator: export_code without explicit file declaration prints
  3662 to standard output.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3663 
  3664 * Code generator: do not print function definitions for case
  3665 combinators any longer.
  3666 
  3667 * Code generator: simplification with rules determined with
  3668 src/Tools/Code/code_simp.ML and method "code_simp".
  3669 
  3670 * Code generator for records: more idiomatic representation of record
  3671 types.  Warning: records are not covered by ancient SML code
  3672 generation any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  In cases of need, a suitable
  3673 rep_datatype declaration helps to succeed then:
  3674 
  3675   record 'a foo = ...
  3676   ...
  3677   rep_datatype foo_ext ...
  3678 
  3679 * Records: logical foundation type for records does not carry a
  3680 '_type' suffix any longer (obsolete due to authentic syntax).
  3681 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3682 
  3683 * Quickcheck now by default uses exhaustive testing instead of random
  3684 testing.  Random testing can be invoked by "quickcheck [random]",
  3685 exhaustive testing by "quickcheck [exhaustive]".
  3686 
  3687 * Quickcheck instantiates polymorphic types with small finite
  3688 datatypes by default. This enables a simple execution mechanism to
  3689 handle quantifiers and function equality over the finite datatypes.
  3690 
  3691 * Quickcheck random generator has been renamed from "code" to
  3692 "random".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3693 
  3694 * Quickcheck now has a configurable time limit which is set to 30
  3695 seconds by default. This can be changed by adding [timeout = n] to the
  3696 quickcheck command. The time limit for Auto Quickcheck is still set
  3697 independently.
  3698 
  3699 * Quickcheck in locales considers interpretations of that locale for
  3700 counter example search.
  3701 
  3702 * Sledgehammer:
  3703   - Added "smt" and "remote_smt" provers based on the "smt" proof
  3704     method. See the Sledgehammer manual for details ("isabelle doc
  3705     sledgehammer").
  3706   - Renamed commands:
  3707     sledgehammer atp_info ~> sledgehammer running_provers
  3708     sledgehammer atp_kill ~> sledgehammer kill_provers
  3709     sledgehammer available_atps ~> sledgehammer available_provers
  3710     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3711   - Renamed options:
  3712     sledgehammer [atps = ...] ~> sledgehammer [provers = ...]
  3713     sledgehammer [atp = ...] ~> sledgehammer [prover = ...]
  3714     sledgehammer [timeout = 77 s] ~> sledgehammer [timeout = 77]
  3715     (and "ms" and "min" are no longer supported)
  3716     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3717 
  3718 * Nitpick:
  3719   - Renamed options:
  3720     nitpick [timeout = 77 s] ~> nitpick [timeout = 77]
  3721     nitpick [tac_timeout = 777 ms] ~> nitpick [tac_timeout = 0.777]
  3722     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3723   - Added support for partial quotient types.
  3724   - Added local versions of the "Nitpick.register_xxx" functions.
  3725   - Added "whack" option.
  3726   - Allow registration of quotient types as codatatypes.
  3727   - Improved "merge_type_vars" option to merge more types.
  3728   - Removed unsound "fast_descrs" option.
  3729   - Added custom symmetry breaking for datatypes, making it possible to reach
  3730     higher cardinalities.
  3731   - Prevent the expansion of too large definitions.
  3732 
  3733 * Proof methods "metis" and "meson" now have configuration options
  3734 "meson_trace", "metis_trace", and "metis_verbose" that can be enabled
  3735 to diagnose these tools. E.g.
  3736 
  3737     using [[metis_trace = true]]
  3738 
  3739 * Auto Solve: Renamed "Auto Solve Direct".  The tool is now available
  3740 manually as command 'solve_direct'.
  3741 
  3742 * The default SMT solver Z3 must be enabled explicitly (due to
  3743 licensing issues) by setting the environment variable
  3744 Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL in etc/settings of the component, for example.  For
  3745 commercial applications, the SMT solver CVC3 is provided as fall-back;
  3746 changing the SMT solver is done via the configuration option
  3747 "smt_solver".
  3748 
  3749 * Remote SMT solvers need to be referred to by the "remote_" prefix,
  3750 i.e. "remote_cvc3" and "remote_z3".
  3751 
  3752 * Added basic SMT support for datatypes, records, and typedefs using
  3753 the oracle mode (no proofs).  Direct support of pairs has been dropped
  3754 in exchange (pass theorems fst_conv snd_conv pair_collapse to the SMT
  3755 support for a similar behavior).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3756 
  3757 * Changed SMT configuration options:
  3758   - Renamed:
  3759     z3_proofs ~> smt_oracle (with inverted meaning)
  3760     z3_trace_assms ~> smt_trace_used_facts
  3761     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3762   - Added:
  3763     smt_verbose
  3764     smt_random_seed
  3765     smt_datatypes
  3766     smt_infer_triggers
  3767     smt_monomorph_limit
  3768     cvc3_options
  3769     remote_cvc3_options
  3770     remote_z3_options
  3771     yices_options
  3772 
  3773 * Boogie output files (.b2i files) need to be declared in the theory
  3774 header.
  3775 
  3776 * Simplification procedure "list_to_set_comprehension" rewrites list
  3777 comprehensions applied to List.set to set comprehensions.  Occasional
  3778 INCOMPATIBILITY, may be deactivated like this:
  3779 
  3780   declare [[simproc del: list_to_set_comprehension]]
  3781 
  3782 * Removed old version of primrec package.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3783 
  3784 * Removed simplifier congruence rule of "prod_case", as has for long
  3785 been the case with "split".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3786 
  3787 * String.literal is a type, but not a datatype.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3788 
  3789 * Removed [split_format ... and ... and ...] version of
  3790 [split_format].  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3791 
  3792 * Predicate "sorted" now defined inductively, with nice induction
  3793 rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY: former sorted.simps now named sorted_simps.
  3794 
  3795 * Constant "contents" renamed to "the_elem", to free the generic name
  3796 contents for other uses.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3797 
  3798 * Renamed class eq and constant eq (for code generation) to class
  3799 equal and constant equal, plus renaming of related facts and various
  3800 tuning.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3801 
  3802 * Dropped type classes mult_mono and mult_mono1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3803 
  3804 * Removed output syntax "'a ~=> 'b" for "'a => 'b option".
  3805 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3806 
  3807 * Renamed theory Fset to Cset, type Fset.fset to Cset.set, in order to
  3808 avoid confusion with finite sets.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3809 
  3810 * Abandoned locales equiv, congruent and congruent2 for equivalence
  3811 relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use equivI rather than equiv_intro (same
  3812 for congruent(2)).
  3813 
  3814 * Some previously unqualified names have been qualified:
  3815 
  3816   types
  3817     bool ~> HOL.bool
  3818     nat ~> Nat.nat
  3819 
  3820   constants
  3821     Trueprop ~> HOL.Trueprop
  3822     True ~> HOL.True
  3823     False ~> HOL.False
  3824     op & ~> HOL.conj
  3825     op | ~> HOL.disj
  3826     op --> ~> HOL.implies
  3827     op = ~> HOL.eq
  3828     Not ~> HOL.Not
  3829     The ~> HOL.The
  3830     All ~> HOL.All

  3841     curry ~> Product_Type.curry
  3842     op : ~> Set.member
  3843     Collect ~> Set.Collect
  3844 
  3845 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3846 
  3847 * More canonical naming convention for some fundamental definitions:
  3848 
  3849     bot_bool_eq ~> bot_bool_def
  3850     top_bool_eq ~> top_bool_def
  3851     inf_bool_eq ~> inf_bool_def
  3852     sup_bool_eq ~> sup_bool_def
  3853     bot_fun_eq  ~> bot_fun_def
  3854     top_fun_eq  ~> top_fun_def
  3855     inf_fun_eq  ~> inf_fun_def
  3856     sup_fun_eq  ~> sup_fun_def
  3857 
  3858 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3859 
  3860 * More stylized fact names:
  3861 
  3862   expand_fun_eq ~> fun_eq_iff
  3863   expand_set_eq ~> set_eq_iff
  3864   set_ext       ~> set_eqI
  3865   nat_number    ~> eval_nat_numeral
  3866 
  3867 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3868 
  3869 * Refactoring of code-generation specific operations in theory List:
  3870 
  3871   constants
  3872     null ~> List.null
  3873 
  3874   facts
  3875     mem_iff ~> member_def
  3876     null_empty ~> null_def
  3877 
  3878 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that these were not supposed to be used
  3879 regularly unless for striking reasons; their main purpose was code
  3880 generation.
  3881 
  3882 Various operations from the Haskell prelude are used for generating
  3883 Haskell code.
  3884 
  3885 * Term "bij f" is now an abbreviation of "bij_betw f UNIV UNIV".  Term
  3886 "surj f" is now an abbreviation of "range f = UNIV".  The theorems
  3887 bij_def and surj_def are unchanged.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3888 
  3889 * Abolished some non-alphabetic type names: "prod" and "sum" replace
  3890 "*" and "+" respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3891 
  3892 * Name "Plus" of disjoint sum operator "<+>" is now hidden.  Write
  3893 "Sum_Type.Plus" instead.
  3894 
  3895 * Constant "split" has been merged with constant "prod_case"; names of
  3896 ML functions, facts etc. involving split have been retained so far,
  3897 though.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3898 
  3899 * Dropped old infix syntax "_ mem _" for List.member; use "_ : set _"
  3900 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3901 
  3902 * Removed lemma "Option.is_none_none" which duplicates "is_none_def".
  3903 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3904 
  3905 * Former theory Library/Enum is now part of the HOL-Main image.
  3906 INCOMPATIBILITY: all constants of the Enum theory now have to be
  3907 referred to by its qualified name.
  3908 
  3909   enum    ~>  Enum.enum
  3910   nlists  ~>  Enum.nlists
  3911   product ~>  Enum.product
  3912 
  3913 * Theory Library/Monad_Syntax provides do-syntax for monad types.
  3914 Syntax in Library/State_Monad has been changed to avoid ambiguities.
  3915 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3916 
  3917 * Theory Library/SetsAndFunctions has been split into
  3918 Library/Function_Algebras and Library/Set_Algebras; canonical names
  3919 for instance definitions for functions; various improvements.
  3920 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3921 
  3922 * Theory Library/Multiset provides stable quicksort implementation of
  3923 sort_key.
  3924 
  3925 * Theory Library/Multiset: renamed empty_idemp ~> empty_neutral.
  3926 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3927 
  3928 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: introduced a type class for euclidean
  3929 space.  Most theorems are now stated in terms of euclidean spaces
  3930 instead of finite cartesian products.
  3931 
  3932   types
  3933     real ^ 'n ~>  'a::real_vector
  3934               ~>  'a::euclidean_space
  3935               ~>  'a::ordered_euclidean_space
  3936         (depends on your needs)
  3937 
  3938   constants
  3939      _ $ _        ~> _ $$ _
  3940      \<chi> x. _  ~> \<chi>\<chi> x. _
  3941      CARD('n)     ~> DIM('a)
  3942 
  3943 Also note that the indices are now natural numbers and not from some
  3944 finite type. Finite cartesian products of euclidean spaces, products
  3945 of euclidean spaces the real and complex numbers are instantiated to
  3946 be euclidean_spaces.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3947 
  3948 * Session Probability: introduced pextreal as positive extended real
  3949 numbers.  Use pextreal as value for measures.  Introduce the
  3950 Radon-Nikodym derivative, product spaces and Fubini's theorem for
  3951 arbitrary sigma finite measures.  Introduces Lebesgue measure based on
  3952 the integral in Multivariate Analysis.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3953 
  3954 * Session Imperative_HOL: revamped, corrected dozens of inadequacies.
  3955 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3956 
  3957 * Session SPARK (with image HOL-SPARK) provides commands to load and
  3958 prove verification conditions generated by the SPARK Ada program
  3959 verifier.  See also src/HOL/SPARK and src/HOL/SPARK/Examples.
  3960 
  3961 
  3962 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  3963 
  3964 * Theorems for additive ring operations (locale abelian_monoid and
  3965 descendants) are generated by interpretation from their multiplicative
  3966 counterparts.  Names (in particular theorem names) have the mandatory
  3967 qualifier 'add'.  Previous theorem names are redeclared for
  3968 compatibility.
  3969 
  3970 * Structure "int_ring" is now an abbreviation (previously a
  3971 definition).  This fits more natural with advanced interpretations.
  3972 
  3973 
  3974 *** HOLCF ***
  3975 
  3976 * The domain package now runs in definitional mode by default: The
  3977 former command 'new_domain' is now called 'domain'.  To use the domain
  3978 package in its original axiomatic mode, use 'domain (unsafe)'.
  3979 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3980 
  3981 * The new class "domain" is now the default sort.  Class "predomain"
  3982 is an unpointed version of "domain". Theories can be updated by
  3983 replacing sort annotations as shown below.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3984 
  3985   'a::type ~> 'a::countable
  3986   'a::cpo  ~> 'a::predomain
  3987   'a::pcpo ~> 'a::domain
  3988 
  3989 * The old type class "rep" has been superseded by class "domain".
  3990 Accordingly, users of the definitional package must remove any
  3991 "default_sort rep" declarations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3992 
  3993 * The domain package (definitional mode) now supports unpointed
  3994 predomain argument types, as long as they are marked 'lazy'. (Strict
  3995 arguments must be in class "domain".) For example, the following
  3996 domain definition now works:
  3997 
  3998   domain natlist = nil | cons (lazy "nat discr") (lazy "natlist")
  3999 
  4000 * Theory HOLCF/Library/HOL_Cpo provides cpo and predomain class
  4001 instances for types from main HOL: bool, nat, int, char, 'a + 'b,
  4002 'a option, and 'a list.  Additionally, it configures fixrec and the
  4003 domain package to work with these types.  For example:
  4004 
  4005   fixrec isInl :: "('a + 'b) u -> tr"
  4006     where "isInl$(up$(Inl x)) = TT" | "isInl$(up$(Inr y)) = FF"
  4007 
  4008   domain V = VFun (lazy "V -> V") | VCon (lazy "nat") (lazy "V list")
  4009 
  4010 * The "(permissive)" option of fixrec has been replaced with a
  4011 per-equation "(unchecked)" option. See
  4012 src/HOL/HOLCF/Tutorial/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4013 
  4014 * The "bifinite" class no longer fixes a constant "approx"; the class
  4015 now just asserts that such a function exists.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4016 
  4017 * Former type "alg_defl" has been renamed to "defl".  HOLCF no longer
  4018 defines an embedding of type 'a defl into udom by default; instances
  4019 of "bifinite" and "domain" classes are available in
  4020 src/HOL/HOLCF/Library/Defl_Bifinite.thy.
  4021 
  4022 * The syntax "REP('a)" has been replaced with "DEFL('a)".
  4023 
  4024 * The predicate "directed" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4025 
  4026 * The type class "finite_po" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4027 
  4028 * The function "cprod_map" has been renamed to "prod_map".
  4029 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4030 
  4031 * The monadic bind operator on each powerdomain has new binder syntax
  4032 similar to sets, e.g. "\<Union>\<sharp>x\<in>xs. t" represents
  4033 "upper_bind\<cdot>xs\<cdot>(\<Lambda> x. t)".
  4034 
  4035 * The infix syntax for binary union on each powerdomain has changed
  4036 from e.g. "+\<sharp>" to "\<union>\<sharp>", for consistency with set
  4037 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4038 
  4039 * The constant "UU" has been renamed to "bottom".  The syntax "UU" is
  4040 still supported as an input translation.
  4041 
  4042 * Renamed some theorems (the original names are also still available).
  4043 
  4044   expand_fun_below   ~> fun_below_iff
  4045   below_fun_ext      ~> fun_belowI
  4046   expand_cfun_eq     ~> cfun_eq_iff
  4047   ext_cfun           ~> cfun_eqI
  4048   expand_cfun_below  ~> cfun_below_iff
  4049   below_cfun_ext     ~> cfun_belowI
  4050   cont2cont_Rep_CFun ~> cont2cont_APP
  4051 
  4052 * The Abs and Rep functions for various types have changed names.
  4053 Related theorem names have also changed to match. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4054 
  4055   Rep_CFun  ~> Rep_cfun
  4056   Abs_CFun  ~> Abs_cfun
  4057   Rep_Sprod ~> Rep_sprod
  4058   Abs_Sprod ~> Abs_sprod
  4059   Rep_Ssum  ~> Rep_ssum
  4060   Abs_Ssum  ~> Abs_ssum
  4061 
  4062 * Lemmas with names of the form *_defined_iff or *_strict_iff have
  4063 been renamed to *_bottom_iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4064 
  4065 * Various changes to bisimulation/coinduction with domain package:
  4066 
  4067   - Definitions of "bisim" constants no longer mention definedness.
  4068   - With mutual recursion, "bisim" predicate is now curried.
  4069   - With mutual recursion, each type gets a separate coind theorem.
  4070   - Variable names in bisim_def and coinduct rules have changed.
  4071 
  4072 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4073 
  4074 * Case combinators generated by the domain package for type "foo" are
  4075 now named "foo_case" instead of "foo_when".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4076 
  4077 * Several theorems have been renamed to more accurately reflect the
  4078 names of constants and types involved.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4150 *** FOL and ZF ***
  4151 
  4152 * All constant names are now qualified internally and use proper
  4153 identifiers, e.g. "IFOL.eq" instead of "op =".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4154 
  4155 
  4156 *** ML ***
  4157 
  4158 * Antiquotation @{assert} inlines a function bool -> unit that raises
  4159 Fail if the argument is false.  Due to inlining the source position of
  4160 failed assertions is included in the error output.
  4161 
  4162 * Discontinued antiquotation @{theory_ref}, which is obsolete since ML
  4163 text is in practice always evaluated with a stable theory checkpoint.
  4164 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use (Theory.check_thy @{theory}) instead.
  4165 
  4166 * Antiquotation @{theory A} refers to theory A from the ancestry of
  4167 the current context, not any accidental theory loader state as before.
  4168 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, subtle change in semantics.
  4169 
  4170 * Syntax.pretty_priority (default 0) configures the required priority
  4171 of pretty-printed output and thus affects insertion of parentheses.
  4172 
  4173 * Syntax.default_root (default "any") configures the inner syntax
  4174 category (nonterminal symbol) for parsing of terms.
  4175 
  4176 * Former exception Library.UnequalLengths now coincides with
  4177 ListPair.UnequalLengths.
  4178 
  4179 * Renamed structure MetaSimplifier to Raw_Simplifier.  Note that the
  4180 main functionality is provided by structure Simplifier.
  4181 
  4182 * Renamed raw "explode" function to "raw_explode" to emphasize its
  4183 meaning.  Note that internally to Isabelle, Symbol.explode is used in
  4184 almost all situations.
  4185 
  4186 * Discontinued obsolete function sys_error and exception SYS_ERROR.
  4187 See implementation manual for further details on exceptions in
  4188 Isabelle/ML.
  4189 
  4190 * Renamed setmp_noncritical to Unsynchronized.setmp to emphasize its
  4191 meaning.
  4192 
  4193 * Renamed structure PureThy to Pure_Thy and moved most of its
  4194 operations to structure Global_Theory, to emphasize that this is
  4195 rarely-used global-only stuff.
  4196 
  4197 * Discontinued Output.debug.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use plain writeln
  4198 instead (or tracing for high-volume output).
  4199 
  4200 * Configuration option show_question_marks only affects regular pretty
  4201 printing of types and terms, not raw Term.string_of_vname.
  4202 
  4203 * ML_Context.thm and ML_Context.thms are no longer pervasive.  Rare
  4204 INCOMPATIBILITY, superseded by static antiquotations @{thm} and
  4205 @{thms} for most purposes.
  4206 
  4207 * ML structure Unsynchronized is never opened, not even in Isar
  4208 interaction mode as before.  Old Unsynchronized.set etc. have been
  4209 discontinued -- use plain := instead.  This should be *rare* anyway,
  4210 since modern tools always work via official context data, notably
  4211 configuration options.
  4212 
  4213 * Parallel and asynchronous execution requires special care concerning
  4214 interrupts.  Structure Exn provides some convenience functions that
  4215 avoid working directly with raw Interrupt.  User code must not absorb
  4216 interrupts -- intermediate handling (for cleanup etc.) needs to be
  4217 followed by re-raising of the original exception.  Another common
  4218 source of mistakes are "handle _" patterns, which make the meaning of
  4219 the program subject to physical effects of the environment.

  4222 
  4223 New in Isabelle2009-2 (June 2010)
  4224 ---------------------------------
  4225 
  4226 *** General ***
  4227 
  4228 * Authentic syntax for *all* logical entities (type classes, type
  4229 constructors, term constants): provides simple and robust
  4230 correspondence between formal entities and concrete syntax.  Within
  4231 the parse tree / AST representations, "constants" are decorated by
  4232 their category (class, type, const) and spelled out explicitly with
  4233 their full internal name.
  4234 
  4235 Substantial INCOMPATIBILITY concerning low-level syntax declarations
  4236 and translations (translation rules and translation functions in ML).
  4237 Some hints on upgrading:
  4238 
  4239   - Many existing uses of 'syntax' and 'translations' can be replaced
  4240     by more modern 'type_notation', 'notation' and 'abbreviation',
  4241     which are independent of this issue.
  4242 
  4243   - 'translations' require markup within the AST; the term syntax
  4244     provides the following special forms:
  4245 
  4246       CONST c   -- produces syntax version of constant c from context
  4247       XCONST c  -- literally c, checked as constant from context
  4248       c         -- literally c, if declared by 'syntax'
  4249 
  4250     Plain identifiers are treated as AST variables -- occasionally the
  4251     system indicates accidental variables via the error "rhs contains
  4252     extra variables".
  4253 
  4254     Type classes and type constructors are marked according to their
  4255     concrete syntax.  Some old translations rules need to be written
  4256     for the "type" category, using type constructor application
  4257     instead of pseudo-term application of the default category
  4258     "logic".
  4259 
  4260   - 'parse_translation' etc. in ML may use the following
  4261     antiquotations:
  4262 
  4263       @{class_syntax c}   -- type class c within parse tree / AST
  4264       @{term_syntax c}    -- type constructor c within parse tree / AST
  4265       @{const_syntax c}   -- ML version of "CONST c" above
  4266       @{syntax_const c}   -- literally c (checked wrt. 'syntax' declarations)
  4267 
  4268   - Literal types within 'typed_print_translations', i.e. those *not*
  4269     represented as pseudo-terms are represented verbatim.  Use @{class
  4270     c} or @{type_name c} here instead of the above syntax
  4271     antiquotations.
  4272 
  4273 Note that old non-authentic syntax was based on unqualified base
  4274 names, so all of the above "constant" names would coincide.  Recall
  4275 that 'print_syntax' and ML_command "set Syntax.trace_ast" help to
  4276 diagnose syntax problems.
  4277 
  4278 * Type constructors admit general mixfix syntax, not just infix.
  4279 
  4280 * Concrete syntax may be attached to local entities without a proof
  4281 body, too.  This works via regular mixfix annotations for 'fix',
  4282 'def', 'obtain' etc. or via the explicit 'write' command, which is
  4283 similar to the 'notation' command in theory specifications.
  4284 
  4285 * Discontinued unnamed infix syntax (legacy feature for many years) --
  4286 need to specify constant name and syntax separately.  Internal ML
  4287 datatype constructors have been renamed from InfixName to Infix etc.
  4288 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4289 
  4290 * Schematic theorem statements need to be explicitly markup as such,
  4291 via commands 'schematic_lemma', 'schematic_theorem',
  4292 'schematic_corollary'.  Thus the relevance of the proof is made
  4293 syntactically clear, which impacts performance in a parallel or
  4294 asynchronous interactive environment.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4295 
  4296 * Use of cumulative prems via "!" in some proof methods has been
  4297 discontinued (old legacy feature).
  4298 
  4299 * References 'trace_simp' and 'debug_simp' have been replaced by
  4300 configuration options stored in the context. Enabling tracing (the
  4301 case of debugging is similar) in proofs works via
  4302 
  4303   using [[trace_simp = true]]
  4304 
  4305 Tracing is then active for all invocations of the simplifier in
  4306 subsequent goal refinement steps. Tracing may also still be enabled or
  4307 disabled via the ProofGeneral settings menu.
  4308 
  4309 * Separate commands 'hide_class', 'hide_type', 'hide_const',
  4310 'hide_fact' replace the former 'hide' KIND command.  Minor
  4311 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4312 
  4313 * Improved parallelism of proof term normalization: usedir -p2 -q0 is
  4314 more efficient than combinations with -q1 or -q2.
  4315 
  4316 
  4317 *** Pure ***
  4318 
  4319 * Proofterms record type-class reasoning explicitly, using the
  4320 "unconstrain" operation internally.  This eliminates all sort
  4321 constraints from a theorem and proof, introducing explicit
  4322 OFCLASS-premises.  On the proof term level, this operation is
  4323 automatically applied at theorem boundaries, such that closed proofs
  4324 are always free of sort constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools that
  4325 inspect proof terms.
  4326 
  4327 * Local theory specifications may depend on extra type variables that
  4328 are not present in the result type -- arguments TYPE('a) :: 'a itself
  4329 are added internally.  For example:
  4330 
  4331   definition unitary :: bool where "unitary = (ALL (x::'a) y. x = y)"
  4332 
  4333 * Predicates of locales introduced by classes carry a mandatory
  4334 "class" prefix.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4335 
  4336 * Vacuous class specifications observe default sort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4337 
  4338 * Old 'axclass' command has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  4339 'class' instead.
  4340 
  4341 * Command 'code_reflect' allows to incorporate generated ML code into
  4342 runtime environment; replaces immature code_datatype antiquotation.
  4343 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4344 
  4345 * Code generator: simple concept for abstract datatypes obeying
  4346 invariants.
  4347 
  4348 * Code generator: details of internal data cache have no impact on the
  4349 user space functionality any longer.
  4350 
  4351 * Methods "unfold_locales" and "intro_locales" ignore non-locale
  4352 subgoals.  This is more appropriate for interpretations with 'where'.
  4353 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4354 
  4355 * Command 'example_proof' opens an empty proof body.  This allows to
  4356 experiment with Isar, without producing any persistent result.
  4357 
  4358 * Commands 'type_notation' and 'no_type_notation' declare type syntax
  4359 within a local theory context, with explicit checking of the
  4360 constructors involved (in contrast to the raw 'syntax' versions).
  4361 
  4362 * Commands 'types' and 'typedecl' now work within a local theory
  4363 context -- without introducing dependencies on parameters or
  4364 assumptions, which is not possible in Isabelle/Pure.
  4365 
  4366 * Command 'defaultsort' has been renamed to 'default_sort', it works
  4367 within a local theory context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4368 
  4369 
  4370 *** HOL ***
  4371 
  4372 * Command 'typedef' now works within a local theory context -- without
  4373 introducing dependencies on parameters or assumptions, which is not
  4374 possible in Isabelle/Pure/HOL.  Note that the logical environment may
  4375 contain multiple interpretations of local typedefs (with different
  4376 non-emptiness proofs), even in a global theory context.
  4377 
  4378 * New package for quotient types.  Commands 'quotient_type' and
  4379 'quotient_definition' may be used for defining types and constants by
  4380 quotient constructions.  An example is the type of integers created by
  4381 quotienting pairs of natural numbers:
  4382 
  4383   fun
  4384     intrel :: "(nat * nat) => (nat * nat) => bool"
  4385   where
  4386     "intrel (x, y) (u, v) = (x + v = u + y)"
  4387 
  4388   quotient_type int = "nat * nat" / intrel
  4389     by (auto simp add: equivp_def expand_fun_eq)
  4390 
  4391   quotient_definition
  4392     "0::int" is "(0::nat, 0::nat)"
  4393 
  4394 The method "lifting" can be used to lift of theorems from the
  4395 underlying "raw" type to the quotient type.  The example
  4396 src/HOL/Quotient_Examples/FSet.thy includes such a quotient
  4397 construction and provides a reasoning infrastructure for finite sets.
  4398 
  4399 * Renamed Library/Quotient.thy to Library/Quotient_Type.thy to avoid
  4400 clash with new theory Quotient in Main HOL.
  4401 
  4402 * Moved the SMT binding into the main HOL session, eliminating
  4403 separate HOL-SMT session.
  4404 
  4405 * List membership infix mem operation is only an input abbreviation.
  4406 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4407 
  4408 * Theory Library/Word.thy has been removed.  Use library Word/Word.thy
  4409 for future developements; former Library/Word.thy is still present in
  4410 the AFP entry RSAPPS.
  4411 
  4412 * Theorem Int.int_induct renamed to Int.int_of_nat_induct and is no
  4413 longer shadowed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4414 
  4415 * Dropped theorem duplicate comp_arith; use semiring_norm instead.
  4416 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4417 
  4418 * Dropped theorem RealPow.real_sq_order; use power2_le_imp_le instead.
  4419 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4420 
  4421 * Dropped normalizing_semiring etc; use the facts in semiring classes
  4422 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4423 
  4424 * Dropped several real-specific versions of lemmas about floor and
  4425 ceiling; use the generic lemmas from theory "Archimedean_Field"
  4426 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4459 * Theory "Finite_Set": various folding_XXX locales facilitate the
  4460 application of the various fold combinators on finite sets.
  4461 
  4462 * Library theory "RBT" renamed to "RBT_Impl"; new library theory "RBT"
  4463 provides abstract red-black tree type which is backed by "RBT_Impl" as
  4464 implementation.  INCOMPATIBILTY.
  4465 
  4466 * Theory Library/Coinductive_List has been removed -- superseded by
  4467 AFP/thys/Coinductive.
  4468 
  4469 * Theory PReal, including the type "preal" and related operations, has
  4470 been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4471 
  4472 * Real: new development using Cauchy Sequences.
  4473 
  4474 * Split off theory "Big_Operators" containing setsum, setprod,
  4475 Inf_fin, Sup_fin, Min, Max from theory Finite_Set.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4476 
  4477 * Theory "Rational" renamed to "Rat", for consistency with "Nat",
  4478 "Int" etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4479 
  4480 * Constant Rat.normalize needs to be qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4481 
  4482 * New set of rules "ac_simps" provides combined assoc / commute
  4483 rewrites for all interpretations of the appropriate generic locales.
  4484 
  4485 * Renamed theory "OrderedGroup" to "Groups" and split theory
  4486 "Ring_and_Field" into theories "Rings" and "Fields"; for more
  4487 appropriate and more consistent names suitable for name prefixes
  4488 within the HOL theories.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4489 
  4490 * Some generic constants have been put to appropriate theories:
  4491   - less_eq, less: Orderings
  4492   - zero, one, plus, minus, uminus, times, abs, sgn: Groups
  4493   - inverse, divide: Rings
  4494 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4495 
  4496 * More consistent naming of type classes involving orderings (and
  4497 lattices):
  4498 
  4499     lower_semilattice                   ~> semilattice_inf

  4536 
  4537   The following slightly odd type classes have been moved to a
  4538   separate theory Library/Lattice_Algebras:

  4544     lordered_ring                       ~> lattice_ring
  4545 
  4546 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4547 
  4548 * Refined field classes:
  4549   - classes division_ring_inverse_zero, field_inverse_zero,
  4550     linordered_field_inverse_zero include rule inverse 0 = 0 --
  4551     subsumes former division_by_zero class;
  4552   - numerous lemmas have been ported from field to division_ring.
  4553 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4554 
  4555 * Refined algebra theorem collections:
  4556   - dropped theorem group group_simps, use algebra_simps instead;
  4557   - dropped theorem group ring_simps, use field_simps instead;
  4558   - proper theorem collection field_simps subsumes former theorem
  4559     groups field_eq_simps and field_simps;
  4560   - dropped lemma eq_minus_self_iff which is a duplicate for
  4561     equal_neg_zero.
  4562 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4563 
  4564 * Theory Finite_Set and List: some lemmas have been generalized from
  4565 sets to lattices:
  4566 
  4567   fun_left_comm_idem_inter      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_inf
  4568   fun_left_comm_idem_union      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_sup
  4569   inter_Inter_fold_inter        ~> inf_Inf_fold_inf
  4570   union_Union_fold_union        ~> sup_Sup_fold_sup
  4571   Inter_fold_inter              ~> Inf_fold_inf
  4572   Union_fold_union              ~> Sup_fold_sup
  4573   inter_INTER_fold_inter        ~> inf_INFI_fold_inf
  4574   union_UNION_fold_union        ~> sup_SUPR_fold_sup
  4575   INTER_fold_inter              ~> INFI_fold_inf
  4576   UNION_fold_union              ~> SUPR_fold_sup
  4577 
  4578 * Theory "Complete_Lattice": lemmas top_def and bot_def have been
  4579 replaced by the more convenient lemmas Inf_empty and Sup_empty.
  4580 Dropped lemmas Inf_insert_simp and Sup_insert_simp, which are subsumed
  4581 by Inf_insert and Sup_insert.  Lemmas Inf_UNIV and Sup_UNIV replace
  4582 former Inf_Univ and Sup_Univ.  Lemmas inf_top_right and sup_bot_right
  4583 subsume inf_top and sup_bot respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4584 
  4585 * Reorganized theory Multiset: swapped notation of pointwise and
  4586 multiset order:
  4587 
  4588   - pointwise ordering is instance of class order with standard syntax
  4589     <= and <;
  4590   - multiset ordering has syntax <=# and <#; partial order properties
  4591     are provided by means of interpretation with prefix
  4592     multiset_order;
  4593   - less duplication, less historical organization of sections,
  4594     conversion from associations lists to multisets, rudimentary code
  4595     generation;
  4596   - use insert_DiffM2 [symmetric] instead of elem_imp_eq_diff_union,
  4597     if needed.
  4598 
  4599 Renamed:
  4600 
  4601   multiset_eq_conv_count_eq  ~>  multiset_ext_iff
  4602   multi_count_ext  ~>  multiset_ext
  4603   diff_union_inverse2  ~>  diff_union_cancelR
  4604 
  4605 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4606 
  4607 * Theory Permutation: replaced local "remove" by List.remove1.
  4608 
  4609 * Code generation: ML and OCaml code is decorated with signatures.
  4610 
  4611 * Theory List: added transpose.
  4612 
  4613 * Library/Nat_Bijection.thy is a collection of bijective functions
  4614 between nat and other types, which supersedes the older libraries
  4615 Library/Nat_Int_Bij.thy and HOLCF/NatIso.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4616 
  4617   Constants:
  4618   Nat_Int_Bij.nat2_to_nat         ~> prod_encode
  4619   Nat_Int_Bij.nat_to_nat2         ~> prod_decode

  4645   Nat_Int_Bij.bij_int_to_nat_bij  ~> bij_int_decode
  4646 
  4647 * Sledgehammer:
  4648   - Renamed ATP commands:
  4649     atp_info     ~> sledgehammer running_atps
  4650     atp_kill     ~> sledgehammer kill_atps
  4651     atp_messages ~> sledgehammer messages
  4652     atp_minimize ~> sledgehammer minimize
  4653     print_atps   ~> sledgehammer available_atps
  4654     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4655   - Added user's manual ("isabelle doc sledgehammer").
  4656   - Added option syntax and "sledgehammer_params" to customize
  4657     Sledgehammer's behavior.  See the manual for details.
  4658   - Modified the Isar proof reconstruction code so that it produces
  4659     direct proofs rather than proofs by contradiction.  (This feature
  4660     is still experimental.)
  4661   - Made Isar proof reconstruction work for SPASS, remote ATPs, and in
  4662     full-typed mode.
  4663   - Added support for TPTP syntax for SPASS via the "spass_tptp" ATP.
  4664 
  4665 * Nitpick:
  4666   - Added and implemented "binary_ints" and "bits" options.
  4667   - Added "std" option and implemented support for nonstandard models.
  4668   - Added and implemented "finitize" option to improve the precision
  4669     of infinite datatypes based on a monotonicity analysis.
  4670   - Added support for quotient types.
  4671   - Added support for "specification" and "ax_specification"
  4672     constructs.
  4673   - Added support for local definitions (for "function" and
  4674     "termination" proofs).
  4675   - Added support for term postprocessors.
  4676   - Optimized "Multiset.multiset" and "FinFun.finfun".
  4677   - Improved efficiency of "destroy_constrs" optimization.
  4678   - Fixed soundness bugs related to "destroy_constrs" optimization and
  4679     record getters.
  4680   - Fixed soundness bug related to higher-order constructors.
  4681   - Fixed soundness bug when "full_descrs" is enabled.
  4682   - Improved precision of set constructs.
  4683   - Added "atoms" option.
  4684   - Added cache to speed up repeated Kodkod invocations on the same
  4685     problems.
  4686   - Renamed "MiniSatJNI", "zChaffJNI", "BerkMinAlloy", and
  4687     "SAT4JLight" to "MiniSat_JNI", "zChaff_JNI", "BerkMin_Alloy", and
  4688     "SAT4J_Light".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4689   - Removed "skolemize", "uncurry", "sym_break", "flatten_prop",
  4690     "sharing_depth", and "show_skolems" options.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4691   - Removed "nitpick_intro" attribute.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4692 
  4693 * Method "induct" now takes instantiations of the form t, where t is not
  4694   a variable, as a shorthand for "x == t", where x is a fresh variable.
  4695   If this is not intended, t has to be enclosed in parentheses.
  4696   By default, the equalities generated by definitional instantiations
  4697   are pre-simplified, which may cause parameters of inductive cases
  4698   to disappear, or may even delete some of the inductive cases.
  4699   Use "induct (no_simp)" instead of "induct" to restore the old
  4700   behaviour. The (no_simp) option is also understood by the "cases"
  4701   and "nominal_induct" methods, which now perform pre-simplification, too.
  4702   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4703 
  4704 
  4705 *** HOLCF ***
  4706 
  4707 * Variable names in lemmas generated by the domain package have
  4708 changed; the naming scheme is now consistent with the HOL datatype
  4709 package.  Some proof scripts may be affected, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4710 
  4711 * The domain package no longer defines the function "foo_copy" for
  4712 recursive domain "foo".  The reach lemma is now stated directly in
  4713 terms of "foo_take".  Lemmas and proofs that mention "foo_copy" must
  4714 be reformulated in terms of "foo_take", INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4715 
  4716 * Most definedness lemmas generated by the domain package (previously
  4717 of the form "x ~= UU ==> foo$x ~= UU") now have an if-and-only-if form
  4718 like "foo$x = UU <-> x = UU", which works better as a simp rule.
  4719 Proofs that used definedness lemmas as intro rules may break,
  4720 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4721 
  4722 * Induction and casedist rules generated by the domain package now
  4723 declare proper case_names (one called "bottom", and one named for each
  4724 constructor).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4725 
  4726 * For mutually-recursive domains, separate "reach" and "take_lemma"
  4727 rules are generated for each domain, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4728 
  4729   foo_bar.reach       ~> foo.reach  bar.reach
  4730   foo_bar.take_lemmas ~> foo.take_lemma  bar.take_lemma
  4731 
  4732 * Some lemmas generated by the domain package have been renamed for
  4733 consistency with the datatype package, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4734 
  4735   foo.ind        ~> foo.induct
  4736   foo.finite_ind ~> foo.finite_induct
  4737   foo.coind      ~> foo.coinduct
  4738   foo.casedist   ~> foo.exhaust
  4739   foo.exhaust    ~> foo.nchotomy
  4740 
  4741 * For consistency with other definition packages, the fixrec package
  4742 now generates qualified theorem names, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4743 
  4744   foo_simps  ~> foo.simps
  4745   foo_unfold ~> foo.unfold
  4746   foo_induct ~> foo.induct
  4747 
  4748 * The "fixrec_simp" attribute has been removed.  The "fixrec_simp"
  4749 method and internal fixrec proofs now use the default simpset instead.
  4750 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4751 
  4752 * The "contlub" predicate has been removed.  Proof scripts should use
  4753 lemma contI2 in place of monocontlub2cont, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4754 
  4755 * The "admw" predicate has been removed, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4756 
  4757 * The constants cpair, cfst, and csnd have been removed in favor of
  4758 Pair, fst, and snd from Isabelle/HOL, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4759 
  4760 
  4761 *** ML ***
  4762 
  4763 * Antiquotations for basic formal entities:
  4764 
  4765     @{class NAME}         -- type class
  4766     @{class_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of the above
  4767 
  4768     @{type_name NAME}     -- logical type
  4769     @{type_abbrev NAME}   -- type abbreviation
  4770     @{nonterminal NAME}   -- type of concrete syntactic category
  4771     @{type_syntax NAME}   -- syntax representation of any of the above
  4772 
  4773     @{const_name NAME}    -- logical constant (INCOMPATIBILITY)
  4774     @{const_abbrev NAME}  -- abbreviated constant
  4775     @{const_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of any of the above
  4776 
  4777 * Antiquotation @{syntax_const NAME} ensures that NAME refers to a raw
  4778 syntax constant (cf. 'syntax' command).
  4779 
  4780 * Antiquotation @{make_string} inlines a function to print arbitrary
  4781 values similar to the ML toplevel.  The result is compiler dependent
  4782 and may fall back on "?" in certain situations.
  4783 
  4784 * Diagnostic commands 'ML_val' and 'ML_command' may refer to
  4785 antiquotations @{Isar.state} and @{Isar.goal}.  This replaces impure
  4786 Isar.state() and Isar.goal(), which belong to the old TTY loop and do
  4787 not work with the asynchronous Isar document model.
  4788 
  4789 * Configuration options now admit dynamic default values, depending on
  4790 the context or even global references.
  4791 
  4792 * SHA1.digest digests strings according to SHA-1 (see RFC 3174).  It
  4793 uses an efficient external library if available (for Poly/ML).
  4794 
  4795 * Renamed some important ML structures, while keeping the old names
  4796 for some time as aliases within the structure Legacy:
  4797 
  4798   OuterKeyword  ~>  Keyword
  4799   OuterLex      ~>  Token
  4800   OuterParse    ~>  Parse
  4801   OuterSyntax   ~>  Outer_Syntax
  4802   PrintMode     ~>  Print_Mode
  4803   SpecParse     ~>  Parse_Spec
  4804   ThyInfo       ~>  Thy_Info
  4805   ThyLoad       ~>  Thy_Load
  4806   ThyOutput     ~>  Thy_Output
  4807   TypeInfer     ~>  Type_Infer
  4808 
  4809 Note that "open Legacy" simplifies porting of sources, but forgetting
  4810 to remove it again will complicate porting again in the future.
  4811 
  4812 * Most operations that refer to a global context are named
  4813 accordingly, e.g. Simplifier.global_context or
  4814 ProofContext.init_global.  There are some situations where a global
  4815 context actually works, but under normal circumstances one needs to
  4816 pass the proper local context through the code!
  4817 
  4818 * Discontinued old TheoryDataFun with its copy/init operation -- data
  4819 needs to be pure.  Functor Theory_Data_PP retains the traditional
  4820 Pretty.pp argument to merge, which is absent in the standard
  4821 Theory_Data version.
  4822 
  4823 * Sorts.certify_sort and derived "cert" operations for types and terms
  4824 no longer minimize sorts.  Thus certification at the boundary of the
  4825 inference kernel becomes invariant under addition of class relations,
  4826 which is an important monotonicity principle.  Sorts are now minimized
  4827 in the syntax layer only, at the boundary between the end-user and the
  4828 system.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY, may have to use Sign.minimize_sort
  4829 explicitly in rare situations.
  4830 
  4831 * Renamed old-style Drule.standard to Drule.export_without_context, to
  4832 emphasize that this is in no way a standard operation.
  4833 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4834 
  4835 * Subgoal.FOCUS (and variants): resulting goal state is normalized as
  4836 usual for resolution.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4837 
  4838 * Renamed varify/unvarify operations to varify_global/unvarify_global
  4839 to emphasize that these only work in a global situation (which is
  4840 quite rare).
  4841 
  4842 * Curried take and drop in library.ML; negative length is interpreted
  4843 as infinity (as in chop).  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4844 
  4845 * Proof terms: type substitutions on proof constants now use canonical
  4846 order of type variables.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools working with proof
  4847 terms.
  4848 
  4849 * Raw axioms/defs may no longer carry sort constraints, and raw defs
  4850 may no longer carry premises.  User-level specifications are
  4851 transformed accordingly by Thm.add_axiom/add_def.
  4852 
  4853 
  4854 *** System ***
  4855 
  4856 * Discontinued special HOL_USEDIR_OPTIONS for the main HOL image;
  4857 ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS applies uniformly to all sessions.  Note that
  4858 proof terms are enabled unconditionally in the new HOL-Proofs image.
  4859 
  4860 * Discontinued old ISABELLE and ISATOOL environment settings (legacy
  4861 feature since Isabelle2009).  Use ISABELLE_PROCESS and ISABELLE_TOOL,
  4862 respectively.
  4863 
  4864 * Old lib/scripts/polyml-platform is superseded by the
  4865 ISABELLE_PLATFORM setting variable, which defaults to the 32 bit
  4866 variant, even on a 64 bit machine.  The following example setting
  4867 prefers 64 bit if available:
  4868 
  4869   ML_PLATFORM="${ISABELLE_PLATFORM64:-$ISABELLE_PLATFORM}"
  4870 
  4871 * The preliminary Isabelle/jEdit application demonstrates the emerging
  4872 Isabelle/Scala layer for advanced prover interaction and integration.
  4873 See src/Tools/jEdit or "isabelle jedit" provided by the properly built
  4874 component.
  4875 
  4876 * "IsabelleText" is a Unicode font derived from Bitstream Vera Mono
  4877 and Bluesky TeX fonts.  It provides the usual Isabelle symbols,
  4878 similar to the default assignment of the document preparation system
  4879 (cf. isabellesym.sty).  The Isabelle/Scala class Isabelle_System
  4880 provides some operations for direct access to the font without asking
  4881 the user for manual installation.
  4882 
  4883 
  4884 
  4885 New in Isabelle2009-1 (December 2009)
  4886 -------------------------------------
  4887 
  4888 *** General ***
  4889 
  4890 * Discontinued old form of "escaped symbols" such as \\<forall>.  Only
  4891 one backslash should be used, even in ML sources.
  4892 
  4893 
  4894 *** Pure ***
  4895 
  4896 * Locale interpretation propagates mixins along the locale hierarchy.
  4897 The currently only available mixins are the equations used to map
  4898 local definitions to terms of the target domain of an interpretation.
  4899 
  4900 * Reactivated diagnostic command 'print_interps'.  Use "print_interps
  4901 loc" to print all interpretations of locale "loc" in the theory.
  4902 Interpretations in proofs are not shown.
  4903 
  4904 * Thoroughly revised locales tutorial.  New section on conditional
  4905 interpretation.
  4906 
  4907 * On instantiation of classes, remaining undefined class parameters
  4908 are formally declared.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4909 
  4910 
  4911 *** Document preparation ***
  4912 
  4913 * New generalized style concept for printing terms: @{foo (style) ...}
  4914 instead of @{foo_style style ...}  (old form is still retained for
  4915 backward compatibility).  Styles can be also applied for
  4916 antiquotations prop, term_type and typeof.
  4917 
  4918 
  4919 *** HOL ***
  4920 
  4921 * New proof method "smt" for a combination of first-order logic with
  4922 equality, linear and nonlinear (natural/integer/real) arithmetic, and
  4923 fixed-size bitvectors; there is also basic support for higher-order
  4924 features (esp. lambda abstractions).  It is an incomplete decision
  4925 procedure based on external SMT solvers using the oracle mechanism;
  4926 for the SMT solver Z3, this method is proof-producing.  Certificates
  4927 are provided to avoid calling the external solvers solely for
  4928 re-checking proofs.  Due to a remote SMT service there is no need for
  4929 installing SMT solvers locally.  See src/HOL/SMT.
  4930 
  4931 * New commands to load and prove verification conditions generated by
  4932 the Boogie program verifier or derived systems (e.g. the Verifying C
  4933 Compiler (VCC) or Spec#).  See src/HOL/Boogie.
  4934 
  4935 * New counterexample generator tool 'nitpick' based on the Kodkod
  4936 relational model finder.  See src/HOL/Tools/Nitpick and
  4937 src/HOL/Nitpick_Examples.
  4938 
  4939 * New commands 'code_pred' and 'values' to invoke the predicate
  4940 compiler and to enumerate values of inductive predicates.
  4941 
  4942 * A tabled implementation of the reflexive transitive closure.
  4943 
  4944 * New implementation of quickcheck uses generic code generator;
  4945 default generators are provided for all suitable HOL types, records
  4946 and datatypes.  Old quickcheck can be re-activated importing theory
  4947 Library/SML_Quickcheck.
  4948 
  4949 * New testing tool Mirabelle for automated proof tools.  Applies
  4950 several tools and tactics like sledgehammer, metis, or quickcheck, to
  4951 every proof step in a theory.  To be used in batch mode via the
  4952 "mirabelle" utility.
  4953 
  4954 * New proof method "sos" (sum of squares) for nonlinear real
  4955 arithmetic (originally due to John Harison). It requires theory
  4956 Library/Sum_Of_Squares.  It is not a complete decision procedure but
  4957 works well in practice on quantifier-free real arithmetic with +, -,
  4958 *, ^, =, <= and <, i.e. boolean combinations of equalities and
  4959 inequalities between polynomials.  It makes use of external
  4960 semidefinite programming solvers.  Method "sos" generates a
  4961 certificate that can be pasted into the proof thus avoiding the need
  4962 to call an external tool every time the proof is checked.  See
  4963 src/HOL/Library/Sum_Of_Squares.
  4964 
  4965 * New method "linarith" invokes existing linear arithmetic decision
  4966 procedure only.
  4967 
  4968 * New command 'atp_minimal' reduces result produced by Sledgehammer.
  4969 
  4970 * New Sledgehammer option "Full Types" in Proof General settings menu.
  4971 Causes full type information to be output to the ATPs.  This slows
  4972 ATPs down considerably but eliminates a source of unsound "proofs"
  4973 that fail later.
  4974 
  4975 * New method "metisFT": A version of metis that uses full type
  4976 information in order to avoid failures of proof reconstruction.
  4977 
  4978 * New evaluator "approximate" approximates an real valued term using
  4979 the same method as the approximation method.
  4980 
  4981 * Method "approximate" now supports arithmetic expressions as
  4982 boundaries of intervals and implements interval splitting and Taylor
  4983 series expansion.
  4984 
  4985 * ML antiquotation @{code_datatype} inserts definition of a datatype
  4986 generated by the code generator; e.g. see src/HOL/Predicate.thy.
  4987 
  4988 * New theory SupInf of the supremum and infimum operators for sets of
  4989 reals.
  4990 
  4991 * New theory Probability, which contains a development of measure
  4992 theory, eventually leading to Lebesgue integration and probability.
  4993 
  4994 * Extended Multivariate Analysis to include derivation and Brouwer's
  4995 fixpoint theorem.
  4996 
  4997 * Reorganization of number theory, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4998   - new number theory development for nat and int, in theories Divides
  4999     and GCD as well as in new session Number_Theory
  5000   - some constants and facts now suffixed with _nat and _int
  5001     accordingly
  5002   - former session NumberTheory now named Old_Number_Theory, including
  5003     theories Legacy_GCD and Primes (prefer Number_Theory if possible)
  5004   - moved theory Pocklington from src/HOL/Library to
  5005     src/HOL/Old_Number_Theory
  5006 
  5007 * Theory GCD includes functions Gcd/GCD and Lcm/LCM for the gcd and
  5008 lcm of finite and infinite sets. It is shown that they form a complete
  5009 lattice.
  5010 
  5011 * Class semiring_div requires superclass no_zero_divisors and proof of
  5012 div_mult_mult1; theorems div_mult_mult1, div_mult_mult2,
  5013 div_mult_mult1_if, div_mult_mult1 and div_mult_mult2 have been
  5014 generalized to class semiring_div, subsuming former theorems
  5015 zdiv_zmult_zmult1, zdiv_zmult_zmult1_if, zdiv_zmult_zmult1 and
  5016 zdiv_zmult_zmult2.  div_mult_mult1 is now [simp] by default.
  5017 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5018 
  5019 * Refinements to lattice classes and sets:
  5020   - less default intro/elim rules in locale variant, more default
  5021     intro/elim rules in class variant: more uniformity
  5022   - lemma ge_sup_conv renamed to le_sup_iff, in accordance with
  5023     le_inf_iff
  5024   - dropped lemma alias inf_ACI for inf_aci (same for sup_ACI and
  5025     sup_aci)
  5026   - renamed ACI to inf_sup_aci
  5027   - new class "boolean_algebra"
  5028   - class "complete_lattice" moved to separate theory
  5029     "Complete_Lattice"; corresponding constants (and abbreviations)
  5030     renamed and with authentic syntax:
  5031     Set.Inf ~>    Complete_Lattice.Inf
  5032     Set.Sup ~>    Complete_Lattice.Sup
  5033     Set.INFI ~>   Complete_Lattice.INFI
  5034     Set.SUPR ~>   Complete_Lattice.SUPR
  5035     Set.Inter ~>  Complete_Lattice.Inter
  5036     Set.Union ~>  Complete_Lattice.Union
  5037     Set.INTER ~>  Complete_Lattice.INTER
  5038     Set.UNION ~>  Complete_Lattice.UNION
  5039   - authentic syntax for
  5040     Set.Pow
  5041     Set.image
  5042   - mere abbreviations:
  5043     Set.empty               (for bot)
  5044     Set.UNIV                (for top)
  5045     Set.inter               (for inf, formerly Set.Int)
  5046     Set.union               (for sup, formerly Set.Un)
  5047     Complete_Lattice.Inter  (for Inf)
  5048     Complete_Lattice.Union  (for Sup)
  5049     Complete_Lattice.INTER  (for INFI)
  5050     Complete_Lattice.UNION  (for SUPR)
  5051   - object-logic definitions as far as appropriate
  5052 
  5053 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Care is required when theorems Int_subset_iff or
  5054 Un_subset_iff are explicitly deleted as default simp rules; then also
  5055 their lattice counterparts le_inf_iff and le_sup_iff have to be
  5056 deleted to achieve the desired effect.
  5057 
  5058 * Rules inf_absorb1, inf_absorb2, sup_absorb1, sup_absorb2 are no simp
  5059 rules by default any longer; the same applies to min_max.inf_absorb1
  5060 etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5061 
  5062 * Rules sup_Int_eq and sup_Un_eq are no longer declared as
  5063 pred_set_conv by default.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5064 
  5065 * Power operations on relations and functions are now one dedicated
  5066 constant "compow" with infix syntax "^^".  Power operation on
  5067 multiplicative monoids retains syntax "^" and is now defined generic
  5068 in class power.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5069 
  5070 * Relation composition "R O S" now has a more standard argument order:
  5071 "R O S = {(x, z). EX y. (x, y) : R & (y, z) : S}".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  5072 rewrite propositions with "S O R" --> "R O S". Proofs may occasionally
  5073 break, since the O_assoc rule was not rewritten like this.  Fix using
  5074 O_assoc[symmetric].  The same applies to the curried version "R OO S".
  5075 
  5076 * Function "Inv" is renamed to "inv_into" and function "inv" is now an
  5077 abbreviation for "inv_into UNIV".  Lemmas are renamed accordingly.
  5078 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5079 
  5080 * Most rules produced by inductive and datatype package have mandatory
  5081 prefixes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5082 
  5083 * Changed "DERIV_intros" to a dynamic fact, which can be augmented by
  5084 the attribute of the same name.  Each of the theorems in the list
  5085 DERIV_intros assumes composition with an additional function and
  5086 matches a variable to the derivative, which has to be solved by the
  5087 Simplifier.  Hence (auto intro!: DERIV_intros) computes the derivative
  5088 of most elementary terms.  Former Maclauren.DERIV_tac and
  5089 Maclauren.deriv_tac should be replaced by (auto intro!: DERIV_intros).
  5090 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5091 
  5092 * Code generator attributes follow the usual underscore convention:
  5093     code_unfold     replaces    code unfold
  5094     code_post       replaces    code post
  5095     etc.
  5096   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5097 
  5098 * Renamed methods:
  5099     sizechange -> size_change
  5100     induct_scheme -> induction_schema
  5101   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5102 
  5103 * Discontinued abbreviation "arbitrary" of constant "undefined".
  5104 INCOMPATIBILITY, use "undefined" directly.
  5105 
  5106 * Renamed theorems:
  5107     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  5108     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1_left -> Suc_eq_plus1_left
  5109     Suc_plus1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  5110     *anti_sym -> *antisym*
  5111     vector_less_eq_def -> vector_le_def
  5112   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5113 
  5114 * Added theorem List.map_map as [simp].  Removed List.map_compose.
  5115 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5116 
  5117 * Removed predicate "M hassize n" (<--> card M = n & finite M).
  5118 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5119 
  5120 
  5121 *** HOLCF ***
  5122 
  5123 * Theory Representable defines a class "rep" of domains that are
  5124 representable (via an ep-pair) in the universal domain type "udom".
  5125 Instances are provided for all type constructors defined in HOLCF.
  5126 
  5127 * The 'new_domain' command is a purely definitional version of the
  5128 domain package, for representable domains.  Syntax is identical to the
  5129 old domain package.  The 'new_domain' package also supports indirect
  5130 recursion using previously-defined type constructors.  See
  5131 src/HOLCF/ex/New_Domain.thy for examples.
  5132 
  5133 * Method "fixrec_simp" unfolds one step of a fixrec-defined constant
  5134 on the left-hand side of an equation, and then performs
  5135 simplification.  Rewriting is done using rules declared with the
  5136 "fixrec_simp" attribute.  The "fixrec_simp" method is intended as a
  5137 replacement for "fixpat"; see src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples.
  5138 
  5139 * The pattern-match compiler in 'fixrec' can now handle constructors
  5140 with HOL function types.  Pattern-match combinators for the Pair
  5141 constructor are pre-configured.
  5142 
  5143 * The 'fixrec' package now produces better fixed-point induction rules
  5144 for mutually-recursive definitions:  Induction rules have conclusions
  5145 of the form "P foo bar" instead of "P <foo, bar>".
  5146 
  5147 * The constant "sq_le" (with infix syntax "<<" or "\<sqsubseteq>") has
  5148 been renamed to "below".  The name "below" now replaces "less" in many
  5149 theorem names.  (Legacy theorem names using "less" are still supported
  5150 as well.)
  5151 
  5152 * The 'fixrec' package now supports "bottom patterns".  Bottom
  5153 patterns can be used to generate strictness rules, or to make
  5154 functions more strict (much like the bang-patterns supported by the
  5155 Glasgow Haskell Compiler).  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  5156 examples.
  5157 
  5158 
  5159 *** ML ***
  5160 
  5161 * Support for Poly/ML 5.3.0, with improved reporting of compiler
  5162 errors and run-time exceptions, including detailed source positions.
  5163 
  5164 * Structure Name_Space (formerly NameSpace) now manages uniquely
  5165 identified entries, with some additional information such as source
  5166 position, logical grouping etc.
  5167 
  5168 * Theory and context data is now introduced by the simplified and
  5169 modernized functors Theory_Data, Proof_Data, Generic_Data.  Data needs
  5170 to be pure, but the old TheoryDataFun for mutable data (with explicit
  5171 copy operation) is still available for some time.
  5172 
  5173 * Structure Synchronized (cf. src/Pure/Concurrent/synchronized.ML)
  5174 provides a high-level programming interface to synchronized state
  5175 variables with atomic update.  This works via pure function
  5176 application within a critical section -- its runtime should be as
  5177 short as possible; beware of deadlocks if critical code is nested,
  5178 either directly or indirectly via other synchronized variables!
  5179 
  5180 * Structure Unsynchronized (cf. src/Pure/ML-Systems/unsynchronized.ML)
  5181 wraps raw ML references, explicitly indicating their non-thread-safe
  5182 behaviour.  The Isar toplevel keeps this structure open, to
  5183 accommodate Proof General as well as quick and dirty interactive
  5184 experiments with references.
  5185 
  5186 * PARALLEL_CHOICE and PARALLEL_GOALS provide basic support for
  5187 parallel tactical reasoning.
  5188 
  5189 * Tacticals Subgoal.FOCUS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PREMS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PARAMS
  5190 are similar to SUBPROOF, but are slightly more flexible: only the
  5191 specified parts of the subgoal are imported into the context, and the
  5192 body tactic may introduce new subgoals and schematic variables.
  5193 
  5194 * Old tactical METAHYPS, which does not observe the proof context, has
  5195 been renamed to Old_Goals.METAHYPS and awaits deletion.  Use SUBPROOF
  5196 or Subgoal.FOCUS etc.
  5197 
  5198 * Renamed functor TableFun to Table, and GraphFun to Graph.  (Since
  5199 functors have their own ML name space there is no point to mark them
  5200 separately.)  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5201 
  5202 * Renamed NamedThmsFun to Named_Thms.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5203 
  5204 * Renamed several structures FooBar to Foo_Bar.  Occasional,
  5205 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5206 
  5207 * Operations of structure Skip_Proof no longer require quick_and_dirty
  5208 mode, which avoids critical setmp.
  5209 
  5210 * Eliminated old Attrib.add_attributes, Method.add_methods and related
  5211 combinators for "args".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use simplified
  5212 Attrib/Method.setup introduced in Isabelle2009.
  5213 
  5214 * Proper context for simpset_of, claset_of, clasimpset_of.  May fall
  5215 back on global_simpset_of, global_claset_of, global_clasimpset_of as
  5216 last resort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5217 
  5218 * Display.pretty_thm now requires a proper context (cf. former
  5219 ProofContext.pretty_thm).  May fall back on Display.pretty_thm_global
  5220 or even Display.pretty_thm_without_context as last resort.
  5221 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5222 
  5223 * Discontinued Display.pretty_ctyp/cterm etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5224 Syntax.pretty_typ/term directly, preferably with proper context
  5225 instead of global theory.
  5226 
  5227 
  5228 *** System ***
  5229 
  5230 * Further fine tuning of parallel proof checking, scales up to 8 cores
  5231 (max. speedup factor 5.0).  See also Goal.parallel_proofs in ML and
  5232 usedir option -q.
  5233 
  5234 * Support for additional "Isabelle components" via etc/components, see
  5235 also the system manual.
  5236 
  5237 * The isabelle makeall tool now operates on all components with
  5238 IsaMakefile, not just hardwired "logics".
  5239 
  5240 * Removed "compress" option from isabelle-process and isabelle usedir;
  5241 this is always enabled.
  5242 
  5243 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 4.x versions.
  5244 
  5245 * Isabelle tool "wwwfind" provides web interface for 'find_theorems'
  5246 on a given logic image.  This requires the lighttpd webserver and is
  5247 currently supported on Linux only.
  5248 
  5249 
  5250 
  5251 New in Isabelle2009 (April 2009)
  5252 --------------------------------
  5253 
  5254 *** General ***
  5255 
  5256 * Simplified main Isabelle executables, with less surprises on
  5257 case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  5258 
  5259   - The main Isabelle tool wrapper is now called "isabelle" instead of
  5260     "isatool."
  5261 
  5262   - The former "isabelle" alias for "isabelle-process" has been
  5263     removed (should rarely occur to regular users).
  5264 
  5265   - The former "isabelle-interface" and its alias "Isabelle" have been
  5266     removed (interfaces are now regular Isabelle tools).
  5267 
  5268 Within scripts and make files, the Isabelle environment variables
  5269 ISABELLE_TOOL and ISABELLE_PROCESS replace old ISATOOL and ISABELLE,
  5270 respectively.  (The latter are still available as legacy feature.)
  5271 
  5272 The old isabelle-interface wrapper could react in confusing ways if
  5273 the interface was uninstalled or changed otherwise.  Individual
  5274 interface tool configuration is now more explicit, see also the
  5275 Isabelle system manual.  In particular, Proof General is now available
  5276 via "isabelle emacs".
  5277 
  5278 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt derivative scripts.  Users may need to
  5279 purge installed copies of Isabelle executables and re-run "isabelle
  5280 install -p ...", or use symlinks.
  5281 
  5282 * The default for ISABELLE_HOME_USER is now ~/.isabelle instead of the
  5283 old ~/isabelle, which was slightly non-standard and apt to cause
  5284 surprises on case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  5285 
  5286 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to move existing ~/isabelle/etc,
  5287 ~/isabelle/heaps, ~/isabelle/browser_info to the new place.  Special
  5288 care is required when using older releases of Isabelle.  Note that
  5289 ISABELLE_HOME_USER can be changed in Isabelle/etc/settings of any
  5290 Isabelle distribution, in order to use the new ~/.isabelle uniformly.
  5291 
  5292 * Proofs of fully specified statements are run in parallel on
  5293 multi-core systems.  A speedup factor of 2.5 to 3.2 can be expected on
  5294 a regular 4-core machine, if the initial heap space is made reasonably
  5295 large (cf. Poly/ML option -H).  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  5296 
  5297 * The main reference manuals ("isar-ref", "implementation", and
  5298 "system") have been updated and extended.  Formally checked references
  5299 as hyperlinks are now available uniformly.
  5300 
  5301 
  5302 *** Pure ***
  5303 
  5304 * Complete re-implementation of locales.  INCOMPATIBILITY in several
  5305 respects.  The most important changes are listed below.  See the
  5306 Tutorial on Locales ("locales" manual) for details.
  5307 
  5308 - In locale expressions, instantiation replaces renaming.  Parameters
  5309 must be declared in a for clause.  To aid compatibility with previous
  5310 parameter inheritance, in locale declarations, parameters that are not
  5311 'touched' (instantiation position "_" or omitted) are implicitly added
  5312 with their syntax at the beginning of the for clause.
  5313 
  5314 - Syntax from abbreviations and definitions in locales is available in
  5315 locale expressions and context elements.  The latter is particularly
  5316 useful in locale declarations.
  5317 
  5318 - More flexible mechanisms to qualify names generated by locale
  5319 expressions.  Qualifiers (prefixes) may be specified in locale
  5320 expressions, and can be marked as mandatory (syntax: "name!:") or
  5321 optional (syntax "name?:").  The default depends for plain "name:"
  5322 depends on the situation where a locale expression is used: in
  5323 commands 'locale' and 'sublocale' prefixes are optional, in
  5324 'interpretation' and 'interpret' prefixes are mandatory.  The old
  5325 implicit qualifiers derived from the parameter names of a locale are
  5326 no longer generated.
  5327 
  5328 - Command "sublocale l < e" replaces "interpretation l < e".  The
  5329 instantiation clause in "interpretation" and "interpret" (square
  5330 brackets) is no longer available.  Use locale expressions.
  5331 
  5332 - When converting proof scripts, mandatory qualifiers in
  5333 'interpretation' and 'interpret' should be retained by default, even
  5334 if this is an INCOMPATIBILITY compared to former behavior.  In the
  5335 worst case, use the "name?:" form for non-mandatory ones.  Qualifiers
  5336 in locale expressions range over a single locale instance only.
  5337 
  5338 - Dropped locale element "includes".  This is a major INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5339 In existing theorem specifications replace the includes element by the
  5340 respective context elements of the included locale, omitting those
  5341 that are already present in the theorem specification.  Multiple
  5342 assume elements of a locale should be replaced by a single one
  5343 involving the locale predicate.  In the proof body, declarations (most
  5344 notably theorems) may be regained by interpreting the respective
  5345 locales in the proof context as required (command "interpret").
  5346 
  5347 If using "includes" in replacement of a target solely because the
  5348 parameter types in the theorem are not as general as in the target,
  5349 consider declaring a new locale with additional type constraints on
  5350 the parameters (context element "constrains").
  5351 
  5352 - Discontinued "locale (open)".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5353 
  5354 - Locale interpretation commands no longer attempt to simplify goal.
  5355 INCOMPATIBILITY: in rare situations the generated goal differs.  Use
  5356 methods intro_locales and unfold_locales to clarify.
  5357 
  5358 - Locale interpretation commands no longer accept interpretation
  5359 attributes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5360 
  5361 * Class declaration: so-called "base sort" must not be given in import
  5362 list any longer, but is inferred from the specification.  Particularly
  5363 in HOL, write
  5364 
  5365     class foo = ...
  5366 
  5367 instead of
  5368 
  5369     class foo = type + ...
  5370 
  5371 * Class target: global versions of theorems stemming do not carry a
  5372 parameter prefix any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5373 
  5374 * Class 'instance' command no longer accepts attached definitions.
  5375 INCOMPATIBILITY, use proper 'instantiation' target instead.
  5376 
  5377 * Recovered hiding of consts, which was accidentally broken in
  5378 Isabelle2007.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, ``hide const c'' really
  5379 makes c inaccessible; consider using ``hide (open) const c'' instead.
  5380 
  5381 * Slightly more coherent Pure syntax, with updated documentation in
  5382 isar-ref manual.  Removed locales meta_term_syntax and
  5383 meta_conjunction_syntax: TERM and &&& (formerly &&) are now permanent,
  5384 INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations.  Note that &&& should not be used
  5385 directly in regular applications.
  5386 
  5387 * There is a new syntactic category "float_const" for signed decimal
  5388 fractions (e.g. 123.45 or -123.45).
  5389 
  5390 * Removed exotic 'token_translation' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML
  5391 interface with 'setup' command instead.
  5392 
  5393 * Command 'local_setup' is similar to 'setup', but operates on a local
  5394 theory context.
  5395 
  5396 * The 'axiomatization' command now only works within a global theory
  5397 context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5398 
  5399 * Goal-directed proof now enforces strict proof irrelevance wrt. sort
  5400 hypotheses.  Sorts required in the course of reasoning need to be
  5401 covered by the constraints in the initial statement, completed by the
  5402 type instance information of the background theory.  Non-trivial sort
  5403 hypotheses, which rarely occur in practice, may be specified via
  5404 vacuous propositions of the form SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::c).  For example:
  5405 
  5406   lemma assumes "SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::empty)" shows False ...
  5407 
  5408 The result contains an implicit sort hypotheses as before --
  5409 SORT_CONSTRAINT premises are eliminated as part of the canonical rule
  5410 normalization.
  5411 
  5412 * Generalized Isar history, with support for linear undo, direct state
  5413 addressing etc.
  5414 
  5415 * Changed defaults for unify configuration options:
  5416 
  5417   unify_trace_bound = 50 (formerly 25)
  5418   unify_search_bound = 60 (formerly 30)
  5419 
  5420 * Different bookkeeping for code equations (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  5421 
  5422   a) On theory merge, the last set of code equations for a particular
  5423      constant is taken (in accordance with the policy applied by other
  5424      parts of the code generator framework).
  5425 
  5426   b) Code equations stemming from explicit declarations (e.g. code
  5427      attribute) gain priority over default code equations stemming
  5428      from definition, primrec, fun etc.
  5429 
  5430 * Keyword 'code_exception' now named 'code_abort'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5431 
  5432 * Unified theorem tables for both code generators.  Thus [code
  5433 func] has disappeared and only [code] remains.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5434 
  5435 * Command 'find_consts' searches for constants based on type and name
  5436 patterns, e.g.
  5437 
  5438     find_consts "_ => bool"
  5439 
  5440 By default, matching is against subtypes, but it may be restricted to
  5441 the whole type.  Searching by name is possible.  Multiple queries are
  5442 conjunctive and queries may be negated by prefixing them with a
  5443 hyphen:
  5444 
  5445     find_consts strict: "_ => bool" name: "Int" -"int => int"
  5446 
  5447 * New 'find_theorems' criterion "solves" matches theorems that
  5448 directly solve the current goal (modulo higher-order unification).
  5449 
  5450 * Auto solve feature for main theorem statements: whenever a new goal
  5451 is stated, "find_theorems solves" is called; any theorems that could
  5452 solve the lemma directly are listed as part of the goal state.
  5453 Cf. associated options in Proof General Isabelle settings menu,
  5454 enabled by default, with reasonable timeout for pathological cases of
  5455 higher-order unification.
  5456 
  5457 
  5458 *** Document preparation ***
  5459 
  5460 * Antiquotation @{lemma} now imitates a regular terminal proof,
  5461 demanding keyword 'by' and supporting the full method expression
  5462 syntax just like the Isar command 'by'.
  5463 
  5464 
  5465 *** HOL ***
  5466 
  5467 * Integrated main parts of former image HOL-Complex with HOL.  Entry
  5468 points Main and Complex_Main remain as before.
  5469 
  5470 * Logic image HOL-Plain provides a minimal HOL with the most important
  5471 tools available (inductive, datatype, primrec, ...).  This facilitates
  5472 experimentation and tool development.  Note that user applications
  5473 (and library theories) should never refer to anything below theory
  5474 Main, as before.
  5475 
  5476 * Logic image HOL-Main stops at theory Main, and thus facilitates
  5477 experimentation due to shorter build times.
  5478 
  5479 * Logic image HOL-NSA contains theories of nonstandard analysis which
  5480 were previously part of former HOL-Complex.  Entry point Hyperreal
  5481 remains valid, but theories formerly using Complex_Main should now use
  5482 new entry point Hypercomplex.
  5483 
  5484 * Generic ATP manager for Sledgehammer, based on ML threads instead of
  5485 Posix processes.  Avoids potentially expensive forking of the ML
  5486 process.  New thread-based implementation also works on non-Unix
  5487 platforms (Cygwin).  Provers are no longer hardwired, but defined
  5488 within the theory via plain ML wrapper functions.  Basic Sledgehammer
  5489 commands are covered in the isar-ref manual.
  5490 
  5491 * Wrapper scripts for remote SystemOnTPTP service allows to use
  5492 sledgehammer without local ATP installation (Vampire etc.). Other
  5493 provers may be included via suitable ML wrappers, see also
  5494 src/HOL/ATP_Linkup.thy.
  5495 
  5496 * ATP selection (E/Vampire/Spass) is now via Proof General's settings
  5497 menu.
  5498 
  5499 * The metis method no longer fails because the theorem is too trivial
  5500 (contains the empty clause).
  5501 
  5502 * The metis method now fails in the usual manner, rather than raising
  5503 an exception, if it determines that it cannot prove the theorem.
  5504 
  5505 * Method "coherent" implements a prover for coherent logic (see also
  5506 src/Tools/coherent.ML).
  5507 
  5508 * Constants "undefined" and "default" replace "arbitrary".  Usually
  5509 "undefined" is the right choice to replace "arbitrary", though
  5510 logically there is no difference.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5511 
  5512 * Command "value" now integrates different evaluation mechanisms.  The
  5513 result of the first successful evaluation mechanism is printed.  In
  5514 square brackets a particular named evaluation mechanisms may be
  5515 specified (currently, [SML], [code] or [nbe]).  See further
  5516 src/HOL/ex/Eval_Examples.thy.
  5517 
  5518 * Normalization by evaluation now allows non-leftlinear equations.
  5519 Declare with attribute [code nbe].
  5520 
  5521 * Methods "case_tac" and "induct_tac" now refer to the very same rules
  5522 as the structured Isar versions "cases" and "induct", cf. the
  5523 corresponding "cases" and "induct" attributes.  Mutual induction rules
  5524 are now presented as a list of individual projections
  5525 (e.g. foo_bar.inducts for types foo and bar); the old format with
  5526 explicit HOL conjunction is no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  5527 rare situations a different rule is selected --- notably nested tuple
  5528 elimination instead of former prod.exhaust: use explicit (case_tac t
  5529 rule: prod.exhaust) here.
  5530 
  5531 * Attributes "cases", "induct", "coinduct" support "del" option.
  5532 
  5533 * Removed fact "case_split_thm", which duplicates "case_split".
  5534 
  5535 * The option datatype has been moved to a new theory Option.  Renamed
  5536 option_map to Option.map, and o2s to Option.set, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5537 
  5538 * New predicate "strict_mono" classifies strict functions on partial
  5539 orders.  With strict functions on linear orders, reasoning about
  5540 (in)equalities is facilitated by theorems "strict_mono_eq",
  5541 "strict_mono_less_eq" and "strict_mono_less".
  5542 
  5543 * Some set operations are now proper qualified constants with
  5544 authentic syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5545 
  5546     op Int ~>   Set.Int
  5547     op Un ~>    Set.Un
  5548     INTER ~>    Set.INTER
  5549     UNION ~>    Set.UNION
  5550     Inter ~>    Set.Inter
  5551     Union ~>    Set.Union
  5552     {} ~>       Set.empty
  5553     UNIV ~>     Set.UNIV
  5554 
  5555 * Class complete_lattice with operations Inf, Sup, INFI, SUPR now in
  5556 theory Set.
  5557 
  5558 * Auxiliary class "itself" has disappeared -- classes without any
  5559 parameter are treated as expected by the 'class' command.
  5560 
  5561 * Leibnitz's Series for Pi and the arcus tangens and logarithm series.
  5562 
  5563 * Common decision procedures (Cooper, MIR, Ferrack, Approximation,
  5564 Dense_Linear_Order) are now in directory HOL/Decision_Procs.
  5565 
  5566 * Theory src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation provides the new proof
  5567 method "approximation".  It proves formulas on real values by using
  5568 interval arithmetic.  In the formulas are also the transcendental
  5569 functions sin, cos, tan, atan, ln, exp and the constant pi are
  5570 allowed. For examples see
  5571 src/HOL/Descision_Procs/ex/Approximation_Ex.thy.
  5572 
  5573 * Theory "Reflection" now resides in HOL/Library.
  5574 
  5575 * Entry point to Word library now simply named "Word".
  5576 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5577 
  5578 * Made source layout more coherent with logical distribution
  5579 structure:

  5632 
  5633 * If methods "eval" and "evaluation" encounter a structured proof
  5634 state with !!/==>, only the conclusion is evaluated to True (if
  5635 possible), avoiding strange error messages.
  5636 
  5637 * Method "sizechange" automates termination proofs using (a
  5638 modification of) the size-change principle.  Requires SAT solver.  See
  5639 src/HOL/ex/Termination.thy for examples.
  5640 
  5641 * Simplifier: simproc for let expressions now unfolds if bound
  5642 variable occurs at most once in let expression body.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5643 
  5644 * Method "arith": Linear arithmetic now ignores all inequalities when
  5645 fast_arith_neq_limit is exceeded, instead of giving up entirely.
  5646 
  5647 * New attribute "arith" for facts that should always be used
  5648 automatically by arithmetic. It is intended to be used locally in
  5649 proofs, e.g.
  5650 
  5651   assumes [arith]: "x > 0"
  5652 
  5653 Global usage is discouraged because of possible performance impact.
  5654 
  5655 * New classes "top" and "bot" with corresponding operations "top" and
  5656 "bot" in theory Orderings; instantiation of class "complete_lattice"
  5657 requires instantiation of classes "top" and "bot".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5658 
  5659 * Changed definition lemma "less_fun_def" in order to provide an
  5660 instance for preorders on functions; use lemma "less_le" instead.
  5661 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5662 
  5663 * Theory Orderings: class "wellorder" moved here, with explicit
  5664 induction rule "less_induct" as assumption.  For instantiation of
  5665 "wellorder" by means of predicate "wf", use rule wf_wellorderI.
  5666 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5667 
  5668 * Theory Orderings: added class "preorder" as superclass of "order".
  5669 INCOMPATIBILITY: Instantiation proofs for order, linorder
  5670 etc. slightly changed.  Some theorems named order_class.* now named
  5671 preorder_class.*.
  5672 
  5673 * Theory Relation: renamed "refl" to "refl_on", "reflexive" to "refl,
  5674 "diag" to "Id_on".
  5675 
  5676 * Theory Finite_Set: added a new fold combinator of type
  5677 
  5678   ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  5679 
  5680 Occasionally this is more convenient than the old fold combinator
  5681 which is now defined in terms of the new one and renamed to
  5682 fold_image.
  5683 
  5684 * Theories Ring_and_Field and OrderedGroup: The lemmas "group_simps"
  5685 and "ring_simps" have been replaced by "algebra_simps" (which can be
  5686 extended with further lemmas!).  At the moment both still exist but
  5687 the former will disappear at some point.
  5688 
  5689 * Theory Power: Lemma power_Suc is now declared as a simp rule in
  5690 class recpower.  Type-specific simp rules for various recpower types
  5691 have been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, rename old lemmas as follows:
  5692 
  5693 rat_power_0    -> power_0
  5694 rat_power_Suc  -> power_Suc
  5695 realpow_0      -> power_0
  5696 realpow_Suc    -> power_Suc
  5697 complexpow_0   -> power_0
  5698 complexpow_Suc -> power_Suc
  5699 power_poly_0   -> power_0
  5700 power_poly_Suc -> power_Suc
  5701 
  5702 * Theories Ring_and_Field and Divides: Definition of "op dvd" has been
  5703 moved to separate class dvd in Ring_and_Field; a couple of lemmas on
  5704 dvd has been generalized to class comm_semiring_1.  Likewise a bunch
  5705 of lemmas from Divides has been generalized from nat to class
  5706 semiring_div.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  This involves the following theorem
  5707 renames resulting from duplicate elimination:
  5708 
  5709     dvd_def_mod ~>          dvd_eq_mod_eq_0
  5710     zero_dvd_iff ~>         dvd_0_left_iff
  5711     dvd_0 ~>                dvd_0_right
  5712     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_DIV ~> div_by_0
  5713     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_MOD ~> mod_by_0
  5714     mult_div ~>             div_mult_self2_is_id
  5715     mult_mod ~>             mod_mult_self2_is_0
  5716 
  5717 * Theory IntDiv: removed many lemmas that are instances of class-based
  5718 generalizations (from Divides and Ring_and_Field).  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  5719 rename old lemmas as follows:
  5720 
  5721 dvd_diff               -> nat_dvd_diff
  5722 dvd_zminus_iff         -> dvd_minus_iff
  5723 mod_add1_eq            -> mod_add_eq
  5724 mod_mult1_eq           -> mod_mult_right_eq
  5725 mod_mult1_eq'          -> mod_mult_left_eq
  5726 mod_mult_distrib_mod   -> mod_mult_eq
  5727 nat_mod_add_left_eq    -> mod_add_left_eq
  5728 nat_mod_add_right_eq   -> mod_add_right_eq
  5729 nat_mod_div_trivial    -> mod_div_trivial
  5730 nat_mod_mod_trivial    -> mod_mod_trivial
  5731 zdiv_zadd_self1        -> div_add_self1
  5732 zdiv_zadd_self2        -> div_add_self2
  5733 zdiv_zmult_self1       -> div_mult_self2_is_id
  5734 zdiv_zmult_self2       -> div_mult_self1_is_id
  5735 zdvd_triv_left         -> dvd_triv_left
  5736 zdvd_triv_right        -> dvd_triv_right
  5737 zdvd_zmult_cancel_disj -> dvd_mult_cancel_left
  5738 zmod_eq0_zdvd_iff      -> dvd_eq_mod_eq_0[symmetric]
  5739 zmod_zadd_left_eq      -> mod_add_left_eq
  5740 zmod_zadd_right_eq     -> mod_add_right_eq
  5741 zmod_zadd_self1        -> mod_add_self1
  5742 zmod_zadd_self2        -> mod_add_self2
  5743 zmod_zadd1_eq          -> mod_add_eq
  5744 zmod_zdiff1_eq         -> mod_diff_eq
  5745 zmod_zdvd_zmod         -> mod_mod_cancel
  5746 zmod_zmod_cancel       -> mod_mod_cancel
  5747 zmod_zmult_self1       -> mod_mult_self2_is_0
  5748 zmod_zmult_self2       -> mod_mult_self1_is_0
  5749 zmod_1                 -> mod_by_1
  5750 zdiv_1                 -> div_by_1
  5751 zdvd_abs1              -> abs_dvd_iff
  5752 zdvd_abs2              -> dvd_abs_iff
  5753 zdvd_refl              -> dvd_refl
  5754 zdvd_trans             -> dvd_trans
  5755 zdvd_zadd              -> dvd_add
  5756 zdvd_zdiff             -> dvd_diff
  5757 zdvd_zminus_iff        -> dvd_minus_iff
  5758 zdvd_zminus2_iff       -> minus_dvd_iff
  5759 zdvd_zmultD            -> dvd_mult_right
  5760 zdvd_zmultD2           -> dvd_mult_left
  5761 zdvd_zmult_mono        -> mult_dvd_mono
  5762 zdvd_0_right           -> dvd_0_right
  5763 zdvd_0_left            -> dvd_0_left_iff
  5764 zdvd_1_left            -> one_dvd
  5765 zminus_dvd_iff         -> minus_dvd_iff
  5766 
  5767 * Theory Rational: 'Fract k 0' now equals '0'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5768 
  5769 * The real numbers offer decimal input syntax: 12.34 is translated
  5770 into 1234/10^2. This translation is not reversed upon output.
  5771 
  5772 * Theory Library/Polynomial defines an abstract type 'a poly of
  5773 univariate polynomials with coefficients of type 'a.  In addition to
  5774 the standard ring operations, it also supports div and mod.  Code
  5775 generation is also supported, using list-style constructors.
  5776 
  5777 * Theory Library/Inner_Product defines a class of real_inner for real
  5778 inner product spaces, with an overloaded operation inner :: 'a => 'a
  5779 => real.  Class real_inner is a subclass of real_normed_vector from
  5780 theory RealVector.
  5781 
  5782 * Theory Library/Product_Vector provides instances for the product
  5783 type 'a * 'b of several classes from RealVector and Inner_Product.
  5784 Definitions of addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, norms,
  5785 and inner products are included.
  5786 
  5787 * Theory Library/Bit defines the field "bit" of integers modulo 2.  In
  5788 addition to the field operations, numerals and case syntax are also
  5789 supported.
  5790 
  5791 * Theory Library/Diagonalize provides constructive version of Cantor's
  5792 first diagonalization argument.
  5793 
  5794 * Theory Library/GCD: Curried operations gcd, lcm (for nat) and zgcd,
  5795 zlcm (for int); carried together from various gcd/lcm developements in
  5796 the HOL Distribution.  Constants zgcd and zlcm replace former igcd and
  5797 ilcm; corresponding theorems renamed accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  5798 may recover tupled syntax as follows:
  5799 
  5800     hide (open) const gcd
  5801     abbreviation gcd where
  5802       "gcd == (%(a, b). GCD.gcd a b)"
  5803     notation (output)
  5804       GCD.gcd ("gcd '(_, _')")
  5805 
  5806 The same works for lcm, zgcd, zlcm.
  5807 
  5808 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity: added addition, numeral syntax and more
  5809 instantiations for algebraic structures.  Removed some duplicate
  5810 theorems.  Changes in simp rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5811 
  5812 * ML antiquotation @{code} takes a constant as argument and generates
  5813 corresponding code in background and inserts name of the corresponding
  5814 resulting ML value/function/datatype constructor binding in place.
  5815 All occurrences of @{code} with a single ML block are generated
  5816 simultaneously.  Provides a generic and safe interface for
  5817 instrumentalizing code generation.  See
  5818 src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Ferrack.thy for a more ambitious application.
  5819 In future you ought to refrain from ad-hoc compiling generated SML
  5820 code on the ML toplevel.  Note that (for technical reasons) @{code}
  5821 cannot refer to constants for which user-defined serializations are
  5822 set.  Refer to the corresponding ML counterpart directly in that
  5823 cases.
  5824 
  5825 * Command 'rep_datatype': instead of theorem names the command now
  5826 takes a list of terms denoting the constructors of the type to be
  5827 represented as datatype.  The characteristic theorems have to be
  5828 proven.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Also observe that the following theorems
  5829 have disappeared in favour of existing ones:
  5830 
  5831     unit_induct                 ~> unit.induct
  5832     prod_induct                 ~> prod.induct
  5833     sum_induct                  ~> sum.induct
  5834     Suc_Suc_eq                  ~> nat.inject
  5835     Suc_not_Zero Zero_not_Suc   ~> nat.distinct
  5836 
  5837 
  5838 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  5839 
  5840 * New locales for orders and lattices where the equivalence relation
  5841 is not restricted to equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY: all order and lattice
  5842 locales use a record structure with field eq for the equivalence.
  5843 
  5844 * New theory of factorial domains.
  5845 
  5846 * Units_l_inv and Units_r_inv are now simp rules by default.
  5847 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Simplifier proof that require deletion of l_inv
  5848 and/or r_inv will now also require deletion of these lemmas.
  5849 
  5850 * Renamed the following theorems, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5851 
  5852 UpperD ~> Upper_memD
  5853 LowerD ~> Lower_memD
  5854 least_carrier ~> least_closed
  5855 greatest_carrier ~> greatest_closed
  5856 greatest_Lower_above ~> greatest_Lower_below
  5857 one_zero ~> carrier_one_zero
  5858 one_not_zero ~> carrier_one_not_zero  (collision with assumption)
  5859 
  5860 
  5861 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  5862 
  5863 * Nominal datatypes can now contain type-variables.
  5864 
  5865 * Commands 'nominal_inductive' and 'equivariance' work with local
  5866 theory targets.
  5867 
  5868 * Nominal primrec can now works with local theory targets and its
  5869 specification syntax now conforms to the general format as seen in
  5870 'inductive' etc.
  5871 
  5872 * Method "perm_simp" honours the standard simplifier attributes
  5873 (no_asm), (no_asm_use) etc.
  5874 
  5875 * The new predicate #* is defined like freshness, except that on the
  5876 left hand side can be a set or list of atoms.
  5877 
  5878 * Experimental command 'nominal_inductive2' derives strong induction
  5879 principles for inductive definitions.  In contrast to
  5880 'nominal_inductive', which can only deal with a fixed number of
  5881 binders, it can deal with arbitrary expressions standing for sets of
  5882 atoms to be avoided.  The only inductive definition we have at the
  5883 moment that needs this generalisation is the typing rule for Lets in
  5884 the algorithm W:
  5885 
  5886  Gamma |- t1 : T1   (x,close Gamma T1)::Gamma |- t2 : T2   x#Gamma
  5887  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  5888          Gamma |- Let x be t1 in t2 : T2
  5889 
  5890 In this rule one wants to avoid all the binders that are introduced by
  5891 "close Gamma T1".  We are looking for other examples where this
  5892 feature might be useful.  Please let us know.
  5893 
  5894 
  5895 *** HOLCF ***
  5896 
  5897 * Reimplemented the simplification procedure for proving continuity
  5898 subgoals.  The new simproc is extensible; users can declare additional
  5899 continuity introduction rules with the attribute [cont2cont].
  5900 
  5901 * The continuity simproc now uses a different introduction rule for
  5902 solving continuity subgoals on terms with lambda abstractions.  In
  5903 some rare cases the new simproc may fail to solve subgoals that the
  5904 old one could solve, and "simp add: cont2cont_LAM" may be necessary.
  5905 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5906 
  5907 * Command 'fixrec': specification syntax now conforms to the general
  5908 format as seen in 'inductive' etc.  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  5909 examples.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5910 
  5911 
  5912 *** ZF ***
  5913 
  5914 * Proof of Zorn's Lemma for partial orders.
  5915 
  5916 
  5917 *** ML ***
  5918 
  5919 * Multithreading for Poly/ML 5.1/5.2 is no longer supported, only for
  5920 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.  Important note: the TimeLimit facility
  5921 depends on multithreading, so timouts will not work before Poly/ML
  5922 5.2.1!
  5923 
  5924 * High-level support for concurrent ML programming, see
  5925 src/Pure/Cuncurrent.  The data-oriented model of "future values" is
  5926 particularly convenient to organize independent functional
  5927 computations.  The concept of "synchronized variables" provides a
  5928 higher-order interface for components with shared state, avoiding the
  5929 delicate details of mutexes and condition variables.  (Requires
  5930 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  5931 
  5932 * ML bindings produced via Isar commands are stored within the Isar
  5933 context (theory or proof).  Consequently, commands like 'use' and 'ML'
  5934 become thread-safe and work with undo as expected (concerning
  5935 top-level bindings, not side-effects on global references).
  5936 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to provide proper Isar context when invoking the
  5937 compiler at runtime; really global bindings need to be given outside a
  5938 theory.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  5939 
  5940 * Command 'ML_prf' is analogous to 'ML' but works within a proof
  5941 context.  Top-level ML bindings are stored within the proof context in
  5942 a purely sequential fashion, disregarding the nested proof structure.
  5943 ML bindings introduced by 'ML_prf' are discarded at the end of the
  5944 proof.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  5945 
  5946 * Simplified ML attribute and method setup, cf. functions Attrib.setup
  5947 and Method.setup, as well as Isar commands 'attribute_setup' and
  5948 'method_setup'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for 'method_setup', need to simplify
  5949 existing code accordingly, or use plain 'setup' together with old
  5950 Method.add_method.
  5951 
  5952 * Simplified ML oracle interface Thm.add_oracle promotes 'a -> cterm
  5953 to 'a -> thm, while results are always tagged with an authentic oracle
  5954 name.  The Isar command 'oracle' is now polymorphic, no argument type
  5955 is specified.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify existing oracle code
  5956 accordingly.  Note that extra performance may be gained by producing
  5957 the cterm carefully, avoiding slow Thm.cterm_of.
  5958 
  5959 * Simplified interface for defining document antiquotations via
  5960 ThyOutput.antiquotation, ThyOutput.output, and optionally
  5961 ThyOutput.maybe_pretty_source.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify user
  5962 antiquotations accordingly, see src/Pure/Thy/thy_output.ML for common
  5963 examples.
  5964 
  5965 * More systematic treatment of long names, abstract name bindings, and
  5966 name space operations.  Basic operations on qualified names have been
  5967 move from structure NameSpace to Long_Name, e.g. Long_Name.base_name,
  5968 Long_Name.append.  Old type bstring has been mostly replaced by
  5969 abstract type binding (see structure Binding), which supports precise
  5970 qualification by packages and local theory targets, as well as proper
  5971 tracking of source positions.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to wrap old
  5972 bstring values into Binding.name, or better pass through abstract
  5973 bindings everywhere.  See further src/Pure/General/long_name.ML,
  5974 src/Pure/General/binding.ML and src/Pure/General/name_space.ML
  5975 
  5976 * Result facts (from PureThy.note_thms, ProofContext.note_thms,
  5977 LocalTheory.note etc.) now refer to the *full* internal name, not the
  5978 bstring as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY, not detected by ML type-checking!
  5979 
  5980 * Disposed old type and term read functions (Sign.read_def_typ,
  5981 Sign.read_typ, Sign.read_def_terms, Sign.read_term,
  5982 Thm.read_def_cterms, Thm.read_cterm etc.).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should
  5983 use regular Syntax.read_typ, Syntax.read_term, Syntax.read_typ_global,
  5984 Syntax.read_term_global etc.; see also OldGoals.read_term as last
  5985 resort for legacy applications.
  5986 
  5987 * Disposed old declarations, tactics, tactic combinators that refer to
  5988 the simpset or claset of an implicit theory (such as Addsimps,
  5989 Simp_tac, SIMPSET).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should use @{simpset} etc. in
  5990 embedded ML text, or local_simpset_of with a proper context passed as
  5991 explicit runtime argument.
  5992 
  5993 * Rules and tactics that read instantiations (read_instantiate,
  5994 res_inst_tac, thin_tac, subgoal_tac etc.) now demand a proper proof
  5995 context, which is required for parsing and type-checking.  Moreover,
  5996 the variables are specified as plain indexnames, not string encodings
  5997 thereof.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5998 
  5999 * Generic Toplevel.add_hook interface allows to analyze the result of
  6000 transactions.  E.g. see src/Pure/ProofGeneral/proof_general_pgip.ML
  6001 for theorem dependency output of transactions resulting in a new
  6002 theory state.
  6003 
  6004 * ML antiquotations: block-structured compilation context indicated by
  6005 \<lbrace> ... \<rbrace>; additional antiquotation forms:
  6006 
  6007   @{binding name}                         - basic name binding
  6008   @{let ?pat = term}                      - term abbreviation (HO matching)
  6009   @{note name = fact}                     - fact abbreviation
  6010   @{thm fact}                             - singleton fact (with attributes)
  6011   @{thms fact}                            - general fact (with attributes)
  6012   @{lemma prop by method}                 - singleton goal
  6013   @{lemma prop by meth1 meth2}            - singleton goal
  6014   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by method}      - general goal
  6015   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by meth1 meth2} - general goal
  6016   @{lemma (open) ...}                     - open derivation
  6017 
  6018 
  6019 *** System ***
  6020 
  6021 * The Isabelle "emacs" tool provides a specific interface to invoke
  6022 Proof General / Emacs, with more explicit failure if that is not
  6023 installed (the old isabelle-interface script silently falls back on
  6024 isabelle-process).  The PROOFGENERAL_HOME setting determines the
  6025 installation location of the Proof General distribution.
  6026 
  6027 * Isabelle/lib/classes/Pure.jar provides basic support to integrate
  6028 the Isabelle process into a JVM/Scala application.  See
  6029 Isabelle/lib/jedit/plugin for a minimal example.  (The obsolete Java
  6030 process wrapper has been discontinued.)
  6031 
  6032 * Added homegrown Isabelle font with unicode layout, see lib/fonts.
  6033 
  6034 * Various status messages (with exact source position information) are
  6035 emitted, if proper markup print mode is enabled.  This allows
  6036 user-interface components to provide detailed feedback on internal
  6037 prover operations.
  6038 
  6039 
  6040 
  6041 New in Isabelle2008 (June 2008)
  6042 -------------------------------
  6043 
  6044 *** General ***
  6045 
  6046 * The Isabelle/Isar Reference Manual (isar-ref) has been reorganized
  6047 and updated, with formally checked references as hyperlinks.
  6048 
  6049 * Theory loader: use_thy (and similar operations) no longer set the
  6050 implicit ML context, which was occasionally hard to predict and in
  6051 conflict with concurrency.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML within Isar which
  6052 provides a proper context already.
  6053 
  6054 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  6055 file are no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, regular 'uses' and
  6056 'use' within a theory file will do the job.
  6057 
  6058 * Name space merge now observes canonical order, i.e. the second space
  6059 is inserted into the first one, while existing entries in the first
  6060 space take precedence.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, may try to
  6061 swap theory imports.
  6062 
  6063 * Syntax: symbol \<chi> is now considered a letter.  Potential
  6064 INCOMPATIBILITY in identifier syntax etc.
  6065 
  6066 * Outer syntax: string tokens no longer admit escaped white space,
  6067 which was an accidental (undocumented) feature.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  6068 white space without escapes.
  6069 
  6070 * Outer syntax: string tokens may contain arbitrary character codes
  6071 specified via 3 decimal digits (as in SML).  E.g. "foo\095bar" for
  6072 "foo_bar".
  6073 
  6074 
  6075 *** Pure ***
  6076 
  6077 * Context-dependent token translations.  Default setup reverts locally
  6078 fixed variables, and adds hilite markup for undeclared frees.
  6079 
  6080 * Unused theorems can be found using the new command 'unused_thms'.
  6081 There are three ways of invoking it:
  6082 
  6083 (1) unused_thms
  6084      Only finds unused theorems in the current theory.
  6085 
  6086 (2) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n -
  6087      Finds unused theorems in the current theory and all of its ancestors,
  6088      excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of their ancestors.
  6089 
  6090 (3) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n - thy'_1 ... thy'_m
  6091      Finds unused theorems in the theories thy'_1 ... thy'_m and all of
  6092      their ancestors, excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of
  6093      their ancestors.
  6094 
  6095 In order to increase the readability of the list produced by
  6096 unused_thms, theorems that have been created by a particular instance
  6097 of a theory command such as 'inductive' or 'function' are considered
  6098 to belong to the same "group", meaning that if at least one theorem in
  6099 this group is used, the other theorems in the same group are no longer
  6100 reported as unused.  Moreover, if all theorems in the group are
  6101 unused, only one theorem in the group is displayed.
  6102 
  6103 Note that proof objects have to be switched on in order for
  6104 unused_thms to work properly (i.e. !proofs must be >= 1, which is
  6105 usually the case when using Proof General with the default settings).
  6106 
  6107 * Authentic naming of facts disallows ad-hoc overwriting of previous
  6108 theorems within the same name space.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to remove
  6109 duplicate fact bindings, or even accidental fact duplications.  Note
  6110 that tools may maintain dynamically scoped facts systematically, using
  6111 PureThy.add_thms_dynamic.
  6112 
  6113 * Command 'hide' now allows to hide from "fact" name space as well.
  6114 
  6115 * Eliminated destructive theorem database, simpset, claset, and
  6116 clasimpset.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, really need to observe linear
  6117 update of theories within ML code.
  6118 
  6119 * Eliminated theory ProtoPure and CPure, leaving just one Pure theory.
  6120 INCOMPATIBILITY, object-logics depending on former Pure require
  6121 additional setup PureThy.old_appl_syntax_setup; object-logics
  6122 depending on former CPure need to refer to Pure.
  6123 
  6124 * Commands 'use' and 'ML' are now purely functional, operating on
  6125 theory/local_theory.  Removed former 'ML_setup' (on theory), use 'ML'
  6126 instead.  Added 'ML_val' as mere diagnostic replacement for 'ML'.
  6127 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6128 
  6129 * Command 'setup': discontinued implicit version with ML reference.
  6130 
  6131 * Instantiation target allows for simultaneous specification of class
  6132 instance operations together with an instantiation proof.
  6133 Type-checking phase allows to refer to class operations uniformly.
  6134 See src/HOL/Complex/Complex.thy for an Isar example and
  6135 src/HOL/Library/Eval.thy for an ML example.
  6136 
  6137 * Indexing of literal facts: be more serious about including only
  6138 facts from the visible specification/proof context, but not the
  6139 background context (locale etc.).  Affects `prop` notation and method
  6140 "fact".  INCOMPATIBILITY: need to name facts explicitly in rare
  6141 situations.
  6142 
  6143 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": removed obsolete/undocumented
  6144 "(open)" option, which used to expose internal bound variables to the
  6145 proof text.
  6146 
  6147 * Isar statements: removed obsolete case "rule_context".
  6148 INCOMPATIBILITY, better use explicit fixes/assumes.
  6149 
  6150 * Locale proofs: default proof step now includes 'unfold_locales';
  6151 hence 'proof' without argument may be used to unfold locale
  6152 predicates.
  6153 
  6154 
  6155 *** Document preparation ***
  6156 
  6157 * Simplified pdfsetup.sty: color/hyperref is used unconditionally for
  6158 both pdf and dvi (hyperlinks usually work in xdvi as well); removed
  6159 obsolete thumbpdf setup (contemporary PDF viewers do this on the
  6160 spot); renamed link color from "darkblue" to "linkcolor" (default
  6161 value unchanged, can be redefined via \definecolor); no longer sets
  6162 "a4paper" option (unnecessary or even intrusive).
  6163 
  6164 * Antiquotation @{lemma A method} proves proposition A by the given
  6165 method (either a method name or a method name plus (optional) method
  6166 arguments in parentheses) and prints A just like @{prop A}.
  6167 
  6168 
  6169 *** HOL ***
  6170 
  6171 * New primrec package.  Specification syntax conforms in style to
  6172 definition/function/....  No separate induction rule is provided.  The
  6173 "primrec" command distinguishes old-style and new-style specifications
  6174 by syntax.  The former primrec package is now named OldPrimrecPackage.
  6175 When adjusting theories, beware: constants stemming from new-style
  6176 primrec specifications have authentic syntax.
  6177 
  6178 * Metis prover is now an order of magnitude faster, and also works
  6179 with multithreading.
  6180 
  6181 * Metis: the maximum number of clauses that can be produced from a
  6182 theorem is now given by the attribute max_clauses.  Theorems that
  6183 exceed this number are ignored, with a warning printed.
  6184 
  6185 * Sledgehammer no longer produces structured proofs by default. To
  6186 enable, declare [[sledgehammer_full = true]].  Attributes
  6187 reconstruction_modulus, reconstruction_sorts renamed
  6188 sledgehammer_modulus, sledgehammer_sorts.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6189 
  6190 * Method "induct_scheme" derives user-specified induction rules
  6191 from well-founded induction and completeness of patterns. This factors
  6192 out some operations that are done internally by the function package
  6193 and makes them available separately.  See
  6194 src/HOL/ex/Induction_Scheme.thy for examples.
  6195 
  6196 * More flexible generation of measure functions for termination
  6197 proofs: Measure functions can be declared by proving a rule of the
  6198 form "is_measure f" and giving it the [measure_function] attribute.
  6199 The "is_measure" predicate is logically meaningless (always true), and
  6200 just guides the heuristic.  To find suitable measure functions, the
  6201 termination prover sets up the goal "is_measure ?f" of the appropriate
  6202 type and generates all solutions by Prolog-style backward proof using
  6203 the declared rules.
  6204 
  6205 This setup also deals with rules like 
  6206 
  6207   "is_measure f ==> is_measure (list_size f)"
  6208 
  6209 which accommodates nested datatypes that recurse through lists.
  6210 Similar rules are predeclared for products and option types.
  6211 
  6212 * Turned the type of sets "'a set" into an abbreviation for "'a => bool"
  6213 
  6214   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  6215 
  6216   - Definitions of overloaded constants on sets have to be replaced by
  6217     definitions on => and bool.
  6218 
  6219   - Some definitions of overloaded operators on sets can now be proved
  6220     using the definitions of the operators on => and bool.  Therefore,
  6221     the following theorems have been renamed:
  6222 
  6223       subset_def   -> subset_eq
  6224       psubset_def  -> psubset_eq
  6225       set_diff_def -> set_diff_eq
  6226       Compl_def    -> Compl_eq
  6227       Sup_set_def  -> Sup_set_eq
  6228       Inf_set_def  -> Inf_set_eq
  6229       sup_set_def  -> sup_set_eq
  6230       inf_set_def  -> inf_set_eq
  6231 
  6232   - Due to the incompleteness of the HO unification algorithm, some
  6233     rules such as subst may require manual instantiation, if some of
  6234     the unknowns in the rule is a set.
  6235 
  6236   - Higher order unification and forward proofs:
  6237     The proof pattern
  6238 
  6239       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  6240       then have "EX S. P S" ..
  6241 
  6242     no longer works (due to the incompleteness of the HO unification
  6243     algorithm) and must be replaced by the pattern
  6244 
  6245       have "EX S. P S"

  6256 
  6257     no longer works (for similar reasons as the previous example) and
  6258     must be replaced by something like
  6259 
  6260       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  6261       moreover have "S = T" <...>

  6266 
  6267       Type ("set", [T]) => ...
  6268 
  6269     must be rewritten. Moreover, functions like strip_type or
  6270     binder_types no longer return the right value when applied to a
  6271     type of the form
  6272 
  6273       T1 => ... => Tn => U => bool
  6274 
  6275     rather than
  6276 
  6277       T1 => ... => Tn => U set
  6278 
  6279 * Merged theories Wellfounded_Recursion, Accessible_Part and
  6280 Wellfounded_Relations to theory Wellfounded.
  6281 
  6282 * Explicit class "eq" for executable equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6283 
  6284 * Class finite no longer treats UNIV as class parameter.  Use class
  6285 enum from theory Library/Enum instead to achieve a similar effect.
  6286 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6287 
  6288 * Theory List: rule list_induct2 now has explicitly named cases "Nil"
  6289 and "Cons".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6290 
  6291 * HOL (and FOL): renamed variables in rules imp_elim and swap.
  6292 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6293 
  6294 * Theory Product_Type: duplicated lemmas split_Pair_apply and
  6295 injective_fst_snd removed, use split_eta and prod_eqI instead.
  6296 Renamed upd_fst to apfst and upd_snd to apsnd.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6297 
  6298 * Theory Nat: removed redundant lemmas that merely duplicate lemmas of
  6299 the same name in theory Orderings:
  6300 
  6301   less_trans
  6302   less_linear
  6303   le_imp_less_or_eq
  6304   le_less_trans
  6305   less_le_trans
  6306   less_not_sym
  6307   less_asym
  6308 
  6309 Renamed less_imp_le to less_imp_le_nat, and less_irrefl to
  6310 less_irrefl_nat.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to more general types
  6311 and different variable names.
  6312 
  6313 * Library/Option_ord.thy: Canonical order on option type.
  6314 
  6315 * Library/RBT.thy: Red-black trees, an efficient implementation of
  6316 finite maps.
  6317 
  6318 * Library/Countable.thy: Type class for countable types.
  6319 
  6320 * Theory Int: The representation of numerals has changed.  The infix
  6321 operator BIT and the bit datatype with constructors B0 and B1 have
  6322 disappeared.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "Int.Bit0 x" and "Int.Bit1 y" in
  6323 place of "x BIT bit.B0" and "y BIT bit.B1", respectively.  Theorems
  6324 involving BIT, B0, or B1 have been renamed with "Bit0" or "Bit1"
  6325 accordingly.
  6326 
  6327 * Theory Nat: definition of <= and < on natural numbers no longer
  6328 depend on well-founded relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Definitions
  6329 le_def and less_def have disappeared.  Consider lemmas not_less
  6330 [symmetric, where ?'a = nat] and less_eq [symmetric] instead.
  6331 
  6332 * Theory Finite_Set: locales ACf, ACe, ACIf, ACIfSL and ACIfSLlin
  6333 (whose purpose mainly is for various fold_set functionals) have been
  6334 abandoned in favor of the existing algebraic classes
  6335 ab_semigroup_mult, comm_monoid_mult, ab_semigroup_idem_mult,
  6336 lower_semilattice (resp. upper_semilattice) and linorder.
  6337 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6338 
  6339 * Theory Transitive_Closure: induct and cases rules now declare proper
  6340 case_names ("base" and "step").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6341 
  6342 * Theorem Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct generalized to complete
  6343 lattices.  The form set-specific version is available as
  6344 Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct_set.
  6345 
  6346 * Renamed theorems "power.simps" to "power_int.simps".
  6347 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6348 
  6349 * Class semiring_div provides basic abstract properties of semirings
  6350 with division and modulo operations.  Subsumes former class dvd_mod.
  6351 
  6352 * Merged theories IntDef, Numeral and IntArith into unified theory
  6353 Int.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6354 
  6355 * Theory Library/Code_Index: type "index" now represents natural
  6356 numbers rather than integers.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6357 
  6358 * New class "uminus" with operation "uminus" (split of from class
  6359 "minus" which now only has operation "minus", binary).
  6360 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6361 
  6362 * Constants "card", "internal_split", "option_map" now with authentic
  6363 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6364 
  6365 * Definitions subset_def, psubset_def, set_diff_def, Compl_def,
  6366 le_bool_def, less_bool_def, le_fun_def, less_fun_def, inf_bool_def,
  6367 sup_bool_def, Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, inf_fun_def, sup_fun_def,
  6368 Inf_fun_def, Sup_fun_def, inf_set_def, sup_set_def, Inf_set_def,
  6369 Sup_set_def, le_def, less_def, option_map_def now with object
  6370 equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6371 
  6372 * Records. Removed K_record, and replaced it by pure lambda term
  6373 %x. c. The simplifier setup is now more robust against eta expansion.
  6374 INCOMPATIBILITY: in cases explicitly referring to K_record.
  6375 
  6376 * Library/Multiset: {#a, b, c#} abbreviates {#a#} + {#b#} + {#c#}.
  6377 
  6378 * Library/ListVector: new theory of arithmetic vector operations.
  6379 
  6380 * Library/Order_Relation: new theory of various orderings as sets of
  6381 pairs.  Defines preorders, partial orders, linear orders and
  6382 well-orders on sets and on types.
  6383 
  6384 
  6385 *** ZF ***
  6386 
  6387 * Renamed some theories to allow to loading both ZF and HOL in the
  6388 same session:
  6389 
  6390   Datatype  -> Datatype_ZF
  6391   Inductive -> Inductive_ZF
  6392   Int       -> Int_ZF
  6393   IntDiv    -> IntDiv_ZF
  6394   Nat       -> Nat_ZF
  6395   List      -> List_ZF
  6396   Main      -> Main_ZF
  6397 
  6398 INCOMPATIBILITY: ZF theories that import individual theories below
  6399 Main might need to be adapted.  Regular theory Main is still
  6400 available, as trivial extension of Main_ZF.
  6401 
  6402 
  6403 *** ML ***
  6404 
  6405 * ML within Isar: antiquotation @{const name} or @{const
  6406 name(typargs)} produces statically-checked Const term.
  6407 
  6408 * Functor NamedThmsFun: data is available to the user as dynamic fact
  6409 (of the same name).  Removed obsolete print command.
  6410 
  6411 * Removed obsolete "use_legacy_bindings" function.
  6412 
  6413 * The ``print mode'' is now a thread-local value derived from a global
  6414 template (the former print_mode reference), thus access becomes
  6415 non-critical.  The global print_mode reference is for session
  6416 management only; user-code should use print_mode_value,
  6417 print_mode_active, PrintMode.setmp etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6418 
  6419 * Functions system/system_out provide a robust way to invoke external
  6420 shell commands, with propagation of interrupts (requires Poly/ML
  6421 5.2.1).  Do not use OS.Process.system etc. from the basis library!
  6422 
  6423 
  6424 *** System ***
  6425 
  6426 * Default settings: PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS no longer impose xemacs ---
  6427 in accordance with Proof General 3.7, which prefers GNU emacs.
  6428 
  6429 * isatool tty runs Isabelle process with plain tty interaction;
  6430 optional line editor may be specified via ISABELLE_LINE_EDITOR
  6431 setting, the default settings attempt to locate "ledit" and "rlwrap".
  6432 
  6433 * isatool browser now works with Cygwin as well, using general
  6434 "javapath" function defined in Isabelle process environment.
  6435 
  6436 * YXML notation provides a simple and efficient alternative to
  6437 standard XML transfer syntax.  See src/Pure/General/yxml.ML and
  6438 isatool yxml as described in the Isabelle system manual.
  6439 
  6440 * JVM class isabelle.IsabelleProcess (located in Isabelle/lib/classes)
  6441 provides general wrapper for managing an Isabelle process in a robust
  6442 fashion, with ``cooked'' output from stdin/stderr.
  6443 
  6444 * Rudimentary Isabelle plugin for jEdit (see Isabelle/lib/jedit),
  6445 based on Isabelle/JVM process wrapper (see Isabelle/lib/classes).
  6446 
  6447 * Removed obsolete THIS_IS_ISABELLE_BUILD feature.  NB: the documented
  6448 way of changing the user's settings is via
  6449 ISABELLE_HOME_USER/etc/settings, which is a fully featured bash
  6450 script.
  6451 
  6452 * Multithreading.max_threads := 0 refers to the number of actual CPU
  6453 cores of the underlying machine, which is a good starting point for
  6454 optimal performance tuning.  The corresponding usedir option -M allows
  6455 "max" as an alias for "0".  WARNING: does not work on certain versions
  6456 of Mac OS (with Poly/ML 5.1).
  6457 
  6458 * isabelle-process: non-ML sessions are run with "nice", to reduce the
  6459 adverse effect of Isabelle flooding interactive front-ends (notably
  6460 ProofGeneral / XEmacs).
  6461 
  6462 
  6463 
  6464 New in Isabelle2007 (November 2007)
  6465 -----------------------------------
  6466 
  6467 *** General ***
  6468 
  6469 * More uniform information about legacy features, notably a
  6470 warning/error of "Legacy feature: ...", depending on the state of the
  6471 tolerate_legacy_features flag (default true). FUTURE INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6472 legacy features will disappear eventually.
  6473 
  6474 * Theory syntax: the header format ``theory A = B + C:'' has been
  6475 discontinued in favour of ``theory A imports B C begin''.  Use isatool
  6476 fixheaders to convert existing theory files.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6477 
  6478 * Theory syntax: the old non-Isar theory file format has been
  6479 discontinued altogether.  Note that ML proof scripts may still be used
  6480 with Isar theories; migration is usually quite simple with the ML
  6481 function use_legacy_bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6482 
  6483 * Theory syntax: some popular names (e.g. 'class', 'declaration',
  6484 'fun', 'help', 'if') are now keywords.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use double
  6485 quotes.
  6486 
  6487 * Theory loader: be more serious about observing the static theory
  6488 header specifications (including optional directories), but not the
  6489 accidental file locations of previously successful loads.  The strict
  6490 update policy of former update_thy is now already performed by
  6491 use_thy, so the former has been removed; use_thys updates several
  6492 theories simultaneously, just as 'imports' within a theory header
  6493 specification, but without merging the results.  Potential
  6494 INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to refine theory headers and commands
  6495 ROOT.ML which depend on load order.
  6496 
  6497 * Theory loader: optional support for content-based file
  6498 identification, instead of the traditional scheme of full physical
  6499 path plus date stamp; configured by the ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT setting
  6500 (cf. the system manual).  The new scheme allows to work with
  6501 non-finished theories in persistent session images, such that source
  6502 files may be moved later on without requiring reloads.
  6503 
  6504 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  6505 file (with the same base name as the theory) are considered a legacy
  6506 feature, which will disappear eventually. Even now, the theory loader
  6507 no longer maintains dependencies on such files.
  6508 
  6509 * Syntax: the scope for resolving ambiguities via type-inference is
  6510 now limited to individual terms, instead of whole simultaneous
  6511 specifications as before. This greatly reduces the complexity of the
  6512 syntax module and improves flexibility by separating parsing and
  6513 type-checking. INCOMPATIBILITY: additional type-constraints (explicit
  6514 'fixes' etc.) are required in rare situations.
  6515 
  6516 * Syntax: constants introduced by new-style packages ('definition',
  6517 'abbreviation' etc.) are passed through the syntax module in
  6518 ``authentic mode''. This means that associated mixfix annotations
  6519 really stick to such constants, independently of potential name space
  6520 ambiguities introduced later on. INCOMPATIBILITY: constants in parse
  6521 trees are represented slightly differently, may need to adapt syntax
  6522 translations accordingly. Use CONST marker in 'translations' and
  6523 @{const_syntax} antiquotation in 'parse_translation' etc.
  6524 
  6525 * Legacy goal package: reduced interface to the bare minimum required
  6526 to keep existing proof scripts running.  Most other user-level
  6527 functions are now part of the OldGoals structure, which is *not* open
  6528 by default (consider isatool expandshort before open OldGoals).
  6529 Removed top_sg, prin, printyp, pprint_term/typ altogether, because
  6530 these tend to cause confusion about the actual goal (!) context being
  6531 used here, which is not necessarily the same as the_context().
  6532 
  6533 * Command 'find_theorems': supports "*" wild-card in "name:"
  6534 criterion; "with_dups" option.  Certain ProofGeneral versions might
  6535 support a specific search form (see ProofGeneral/CHANGES).
  6536 
  6537 * The ``prems limit'' option (cf. ProofContext.prems_limit) is now -1
  6538 by default, which means that "prems" (and also "fixed variables") are
  6539 suppressed from proof state output.  Note that the ProofGeneral
  6540 settings mechanism allows to change and save options persistently, but
  6541 older versions of Isabelle will fail to start up if a negative prems
  6542 limit is imposed.
  6543 
  6544 * Local theory targets may be specified by non-nested blocks of
  6545 ``context/locale/class ... begin'' followed by ``end''.  The body may
  6546 contain definitions, theorems etc., including any derived mechanism
  6547 that has been implemented on top of these primitives.  This concept
  6548 generalizes the existing ``theorem (in ...)'' towards more versatility
  6549 and scalability.
  6550 
  6551 * Proof General interface: proper undo of final 'end' command;
  6552 discontinued Isabelle/classic mode (ML proof scripts).
  6553 
  6554 
  6555 *** Document preparation ***
  6556 
  6557 * Added antiquotation @{theory name} which prints the given name,
  6558 after checking that it refers to a valid ancestor theory in the
  6559 current context.
  6560 
  6561 * Added antiquotations @{ML_type text} and @{ML_struct text} which
  6562 check the given source text as ML type/structure, printing verbatim.
  6563 
  6564 * Added antiquotation @{abbrev "c args"} which prints the abbreviation
  6565 "c args == rhs" given in the current context.  (Any number of
  6566 arguments may be given on the LHS.)
  6567 
  6568 
  6569 *** Pure ***
  6570 
  6571 * The 'class' package offers a combination of axclass and locale to
  6572 achieve Haskell-like type classes in Isabelle.  Definitions and
  6573 theorems within a class context produce both relative results (with
  6574 implicit parameters according to the locale context), and polymorphic
  6575 constants with qualified polymorphism (according to the class
  6576 context).  Within the body context of a 'class' target, a separate
  6577 syntax layer ("user space type system") takes care of converting
  6578 between global polymorphic consts and internal locale representation.
  6579 See src/HOL/ex/Classpackage.thy for examples (as well as main HOL).
  6580 "isatool doc classes" provides a tutorial.
  6581 
  6582 * Generic code generator framework allows to generate executable
  6583 code for ML and Haskell (including Isabelle classes).  A short usage
  6584 sketch:
  6585 
  6586     internal compilation:
  6587         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML
  6588     writing SML code to a file:
  6589         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML <filename>
  6590     writing OCaml code to a file:
  6591         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in OCaml <filename>
  6592     writing Haskell code to a bunch of files:
  6593         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in Haskell <filename>
  6594 
  6595     evaluating closed propositions to True/False using code generation:
  6596         method ``eval''
  6597 
  6598 Reasonable default setup of framework in HOL.
  6599 
  6600 Theorem attributs for selecting and transforming function equations theorems:
  6601 
  6602     [code fun]:        select a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  6603     [code fun del]:    deselect a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  6604     [code inline]:     select an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  6605     [code inline del]: deselect an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  6606 
  6607 User-defined serializations (target in {SML, OCaml, Haskell}):
  6608 
  6609     code_const <and-list of constants (term syntax)>
  6610       {(target) <and-list of const target syntax>}+
  6611 
  6612     code_type <and-list of type constructors>
  6613       {(target) <and-list of type target syntax>}+
  6614 
  6615     code_instance <and-list of instances>
  6616       {(target)}+
  6617         where instance ::= <type constructor> :: <class>
  6618 
  6619     code_class <and_list of classes>
  6620       {(target) <and-list of class target syntax>}+
  6621         where class target syntax ::= <class name> {where {<classop> == <target syntax>}+}?
  6622 
  6623 code_instance and code_class only are effective to target Haskell.
  6624 
  6625 For example usage see src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator.thy and
  6626 src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator_Pretty.thy.  A separate tutorial on code
  6627 generation from Isabelle/HOL theories is available via "isatool doc
  6628 codegen".
  6629 
  6630 * Code generator: consts in 'consts_code' Isar commands are now
  6631 referred to by usual term syntax (including optional type
  6632 annotations).
  6633 
  6634 * Command 'no_translations' removes translation rules from theory
  6635 syntax.
  6636 
  6637 * Overloaded definitions are now actually checked for acyclic
  6638 dependencies.  The overloading scheme is slightly more general than
  6639 that of Haskell98, although Isabelle does not demand an exact
  6640 correspondence to type class and instance declarations.
  6641 INCOMPATIBILITY, use ``defs (unchecked overloaded)'' to admit more
  6642 exotic versions of overloading -- at the discretion of the user!
  6643 
  6644 Polymorphic constants are represented via type arguments, i.e. the
  6645 instantiation that matches an instance against the most general
  6646 declaration given in the signature.  For example, with the declaration
  6647 c :: 'a => 'a => 'a, an instance c :: nat => nat => nat is represented
  6648 as c(nat).  Overloading is essentially simultaneous structural
  6649 recursion over such type arguments.  Incomplete specification patterns
  6650 impose global constraints on all occurrences, e.g. c('a * 'a) on the
  6651 LHS means that more general c('a * 'b) will be disallowed on any RHS.
  6652 Command 'print_theory' outputs the normalized system of recursive
  6653 equations, see section "definitions".
  6654 
  6655 * Configuration options are maintained within the theory or proof
  6656 context (with name and type bool/int/string), providing a very simple
  6657 interface to a poor-man's version of general context data.  Tools may
  6658 declare options in ML (e.g. using Attrib.config_int) and then refer to
  6659 these values using Config.get etc.  Users may change options via an
  6660 associated attribute of the same name.  This form of context
  6661 declaration works particularly well with commands 'declare' or
  6662 'using', for example ``declare [[foo = 42]]''.  Thus it has become
  6663 very easy to avoid global references, which would not observe Isar
  6664 toplevel undo/redo and fail to work with multithreading.
  6665 
  6666 Various global ML references of Pure and HOL have been turned into
  6667 configuration options:
  6668 
  6669   Unify.search_bound		unify_search_bound
  6670   Unify.trace_bound		unify_trace_bound
  6671   Unify.trace_simp		unify_trace_simp
  6672   Unify.trace_types		unify_trace_types
  6673   Simplifier.simp_depth_limit	simp_depth_limit
  6674   Blast.depth_limit		blast_depth_limit
  6675   DatatypeProp.dtK		datatype_distinctness_limit
  6676   fast_arith_neq_limit  	fast_arith_neq_limit
  6677   fast_arith_split_limit	fast_arith_split_limit
  6678 
  6679 * Named collections of theorems may be easily installed as context
  6680 data using the functor NamedThmsFun (see also
  6681 src/Pure/Tools/named_thms.ML).  The user may add or delete facts via
  6682 attributes; there is also a toplevel print command.  This facility is
  6683 just a common case of general context data, which is the preferred way
  6684 for anything more complex than just a list of facts in canonical
  6685 order.
  6686 
  6687 * Isar: command 'declaration' augments a local theory by generic
  6688 declaration functions written in ML.  This enables arbitrary content
  6689 being added to the context, depending on a morphism that tells the
  6690 difference of the original declaration context wrt. the application
  6691 context encountered later on.
  6692 
  6693 * Isar: proper interfaces for simplification procedures.  Command
  6694 'simproc_setup' declares named simprocs (with match patterns, and body
  6695 text in ML).  Attribute "simproc" adds/deletes simprocs in the current
  6696 context.  ML antiquotation @{simproc name} retrieves named simprocs.
  6697 
  6698 * Isar: an extra pair of brackets around attribute declarations
  6699 abbreviates a theorem reference involving an internal dummy fact,
  6700 which will be ignored later --- only the effect of the attribute on
  6701 the background context will persist.  This form of in-place
  6702 declarations is particularly useful with commands like 'declare' and
  6703 'using', for example ``have A using [[simproc a]] by simp''.
  6704 
  6705 * Isar: method "assumption" (and implicit closing of subproofs) now
  6706 takes simple non-atomic goal assumptions into account: after applying
  6707 an assumption as a rule the resulting subgoals are solved by atomic
  6708 assumption steps.  This is particularly useful to finish 'obtain'
  6709 goals, such as "!!x. (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> P x ==> thesis",
  6710 without referring to the original premise "!!x. P x ==> thesis" in the
  6711 Isar proof context.  POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY: method "assumption" is
  6712 more permissive.
  6713 
  6714 * Isar: implicit use of prems from the Isar proof context is
  6715 considered a legacy feature.  Common applications like ``have A .''
  6716 may be replaced by ``have A by fact'' or ``note `A`''.  In general,
  6717 referencing facts explicitly here improves readability and
  6718 maintainability of proof texts.
  6719 
  6720 * Isar: improper proof element 'guess' is like 'obtain', but derives
  6721 the obtained context from the course of reasoning!  For example:
  6722 
  6723   assume "EX x y. A x & B y"   -- "any previous fact"
  6724   then guess x and y by clarify
  6725 
  6726 This technique is potentially adventurous, depending on the facts and
  6727 proof tools being involved here.
  6728 
  6729 * Isar: known facts from the proof context may be specified as literal
  6730 propositions, using ASCII back-quote syntax.  This works wherever
  6731 named facts used to be allowed so far, in proof commands, proof
  6732 methods, attributes etc.  Literal facts are retrieved from the context
  6733 according to unification of type and term parameters.  For example,
  6734 provided that "A" and "A ==> B" and "!!x. P x ==> Q x" are known
  6735 theorems in the current context, then these are valid literal facts:
  6736 `A` and `A ==> B` and `!!x. P x ==> Q x" as well as `P a ==> Q a` etc.
  6737 
  6738 There is also a proof method "fact" which does the same composition
  6739 for explicit goal states, e.g. the following proof texts coincide with
  6740 certain special cases of literal facts:
  6741 
  6742   have "A" by fact                 ==  note `A`
  6743   have "A ==> B" by fact           ==  note `A ==> B`
  6744   have "!!x. P x ==> Q x" by fact  ==  note `!!x. P x ==> Q x`
  6745   have "P a ==> Q a" by fact       ==  note `P a ==> Q a`
  6746 
  6747 * Isar: ":" (colon) is no longer a symbolic identifier character in
  6748 outer syntax.  Thus symbolic identifiers may be used without
  6749 additional white space in declarations like this: ``assume *: A''.
  6750 
  6751 * Isar: 'print_facts' prints all local facts of the current context,
  6752 both named and unnamed ones.
  6753 
  6754 * Isar: 'def' now admits simultaneous definitions, e.g.:
  6755 
  6756   def x == "t" and y == "u"
  6757 
  6758 * Isar: added command 'unfolding', which is structurally similar to
  6759 'using', but affects both the goal state and facts by unfolding given
  6760 rewrite rules.  Thus many occurrences of the 'unfold' method or
  6761 'unfolded' attribute may be replaced by first-class proof text.
  6762 
  6763 * Isar: methods 'unfold' / 'fold', attributes 'unfolded' / 'folded',
  6764 and command 'unfolding' now all support object-level equalities
  6765 (potentially conditional).  The underlying notion of rewrite rule is
  6766 analogous to the 'rule_format' attribute, but *not* that of the
  6767 Simplifier (which is usually more generous).
  6768 
  6769 * Isar: the new attribute [rotated n] (default n = 1) rotates the
  6770 premises of a theorem by n. Useful in conjunction with drule.
  6771 
  6772 * Isar: the goal restriction operator [N] (default N = 1) evaluates a
  6773 method expression within a sandbox consisting of the first N
  6774 sub-goals, which need to exist.  For example, ``simp_all [3]''
  6775 simplifies the first three sub-goals, while (rule foo, simp_all)[]
  6776 simplifies all new goals that emerge from applying rule foo to the
  6777 originally first one.
  6778 
  6779 * Isar: schematic goals are no longer restricted to higher-order
  6780 patterns; e.g. ``lemma "?P(?x)" by (rule TrueI)'' now works as
  6781 expected.
  6782 
  6783 * Isar: the conclusion of a long theorem statement is now either
  6784 'shows' (a simultaneous conjunction, as before), or 'obtains'
  6785 (essentially a disjunction of cases with local parameters and
  6786 assumptions).  The latter allows to express general elimination rules
  6787 adequately; in this notation common elimination rules look like this:
  6788 
  6789   lemma exE:    -- "EX x. P x ==> (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6790     assumes "EX x. P x"
  6791     obtains x where "P x"
  6792 
  6793   lemma conjE:  -- "A & B ==> (A ==> B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6794     assumes "A & B"
  6795     obtains A and B
  6796 
  6797   lemma disjE:  -- "A | B ==> (A ==> thesis) ==> (B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6798     assumes "A | B"
  6799     obtains
  6800       A
  6801     | B
  6802 
  6803 The subsequent classical rules even refer to the formal "thesis"
  6804 explicitly:
  6805 
  6806   lemma classical:     -- "(~ thesis ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6807     obtains "~ thesis"
  6808 
  6809   lemma Peirce's_Law:  -- "((thesis ==> something) ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6810     obtains "thesis ==> something"
  6811 
  6812 The actual proof of an 'obtains' statement is analogous to that of the
  6813 Isar proof element 'obtain', only that there may be several cases.
  6814 Optional case names may be specified in parentheses; these will be
  6815 available both in the present proof and as annotations in the
  6816 resulting rule, for later use with the 'cases' method (cf. attribute
  6817 case_names).
  6818 
  6819 * Isar: the assumptions of a long theorem statement are available as
  6820 "assms" fact in the proof context.  This is more appropriate than the
  6821 (historical) "prems", which refers to all assumptions of the current
  6822 context, including those from the target locale, proof body etc.
  6823 
  6824 * Isar: 'print_statement' prints theorems from the current theory or
  6825 proof context in long statement form, according to the syntax of a
  6826 top-level lemma.
  6827 
  6828 * Isar: 'obtain' takes an optional case name for the local context
  6829 introduction rule (default "that").
  6830 
  6831 * Isar: removed obsolete 'concl is' patterns.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  6832 explicit (is "_ ==> ?foo") in the rare cases where this still happens
  6833 to occur.
  6834 
  6835 * Pure: syntax "CONST name" produces a fully internalized constant
  6836 according to the current context.  This is particularly useful for
  6837 syntax translations that should refer to internal constant
  6838 representations independently of name spaces.
  6839 
  6840 * Pure: syntax constant for foo (binder "FOO ") is called "foo_binder"
  6841 instead of "FOO ". This allows multiple binder declarations to coexist
  6842 in the same context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6843 
  6844 * Isar/locales: 'notation' provides a robust interface to the 'syntax'
  6845 primitive that also works in a locale context (both for constants and
  6846 fixed variables). Type declaration and internal syntactic representation
  6847 of given constants retrieved from the context. Likewise, the
  6848 'no_notation' command allows to remove given syntax annotations from the
  6849 current context.
  6850 
  6851 * Isar/locales: new derived specification elements 'axiomatization',
  6852 'definition', 'abbreviation', which support type-inference, admit
  6853 object-level specifications (equality, equivalence).  See also the
  6854 isar-ref manual.  Examples:
  6855 
  6856   axiomatization
  6857     eq  (infix "===" 50) where
  6858     eq_refl: "x === x" and eq_subst: "x === y ==> P x ==> P y"
  6859 
  6860   definition "f x y = x + y + 1"
  6861   definition g where "g x = f x x"
  6862 
  6863   abbreviation
  6864     neq  (infix "=!=" 50) where
  6865     "x =!= y == ~ (x === y)"
  6866 
  6867 These specifications may be also used in a locale context.  Then the
  6868 constants being introduced depend on certain fixed parameters, and the
  6869 constant name is qualified by the locale base name.  An internal
  6870 abbreviation takes care for convenient input and output, making the
  6871 parameters implicit and using the original short name.  See also
  6872 src/HOL/ex/Abstract_NAT.thy for an example of deriving polymorphic
  6873 entities from a monomorphic theory.
  6874 
  6875 Presently, abbreviations are only available 'in' a target locale, but
  6876 not inherited by general import expressions.  Also note that
  6877 'abbreviation' may be used as a type-safe replacement for 'syntax' +
  6878 'translations' in common applications.  The "no_abbrevs" print mode
  6879 prevents folding of abbreviations in term output.
  6880 
  6881 Concrete syntax is attached to specified constants in internal form,
  6882 independently of name spaces.  The parse tree representation is
  6883 slightly different -- use 'notation' instead of raw 'syntax', and
  6884 'translations' with explicit "CONST" markup to accommodate this.
  6885 
  6886 * Pure/Isar: unified syntax for new-style specification mechanisms
  6887 (e.g.  'definition', 'abbreviation', or 'inductive' in HOL) admits
  6888 full type inference and dummy patterns ("_").  For example:
  6889 
  6890   definition "K x _ = x"
  6891 
  6892   inductive conj for A B
  6893   where "A ==> B ==> conj A B"
  6894 
  6895 * Pure: command 'print_abbrevs' prints all constant abbreviations of
  6896 the current context.  Print mode "no_abbrevs" prevents inversion of
  6897 abbreviations on output.
  6898 
  6899 * Isar/locales: improved parameter handling: use of locales "var" and
  6900 "struct" no longer necessary; - parameter renamings are no longer
  6901 required to be injective.  For example, this allows to define
  6902 endomorphisms as locale endom = homom mult mult h.
  6903 
  6904 * Isar/locales: changed the way locales with predicates are defined.
  6905 Instead of accumulating the specification, the imported expression is
  6906 now an interpretation.  INCOMPATIBILITY: different normal form of
  6907 locale expressions.  In particular, in interpretations of locales with
  6908 predicates, goals repesenting already interpreted fragments are not
  6909 removed automatically.  Use methods `intro_locales' and
  6910 `unfold_locales'; see below.
  6911 
  6912 * Isar/locales: new methods `intro_locales' and `unfold_locales'
  6913 provide backward reasoning on locales predicates.  The methods are
  6914 aware of interpretations and discharge corresponding goals.
  6915 `intro_locales' is less aggressive then `unfold_locales' and does not
  6916 unfold predicates to assumptions.
  6917 
  6918 * Isar/locales: the order in which locale fragments are accumulated
  6919 has changed.  This enables to override declarations from fragments due
  6920 to interpretations -- for example, unwanted simp rules.
  6921 
  6922 * Isar/locales: interpretation in theories and proof contexts has been
  6923 extended.  One may now specify (and prove) equations, which are
  6924 unfolded in interpreted theorems.  This is useful for replacing
  6925 defined concepts (constants depending on locale parameters) by
  6926 concepts already existing in the target context.  Example:
  6927 
  6928   interpretation partial_order ["op <= :: [int, int] => bool"]
  6929     where "partial_order.less (op <=) (x::int) y = (x < y)"
  6930 
  6931 Typically, the constant `partial_order.less' is created by a
  6932 definition specification element in the context of locale
  6933 partial_order.
  6934 
  6935 * Method "induct": improved internal context management to support
  6936 local fixes and defines on-the-fly. Thus explicit meta-level
  6937 connectives !!  and ==> are rarely required anymore in inductive goals
  6938 (using object-logic connectives for this purpose has been long
  6939 obsolete anyway). Common proof patterns are explained in
  6940 src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, see also
  6941 src/HOL/Isar_examples/Puzzle.thy and src/HOL/Lambda for realistic
  6942 examples.
  6943 
  6944 * Method "induct": improved handling of simultaneous goals. Instead of
  6945 introducing object-level conjunction, the statement is now split into
  6946 several conclusions, while the corresponding symbolic cases are nested
  6947 accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY, proofs need to be structured explicitly,
  6948 see src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, for example.
  6949 
  6950 * Method "induct": mutual induction rules are now specified as a list
  6951 of rule sharing the same induction cases. HOL packages usually provide
  6952 foo_bar.inducts for mutually defined items foo and bar (e.g. inductive
  6953 predicates/sets or datatypes). INCOMPATIBILITY, users need to specify
  6954 mutual induction rules differently, i.e. like this:
  6955 
  6956   (induct rule: foo_bar.inducts)
  6957   (induct set: foo bar)
  6958   (induct pred: foo bar)
  6959   (induct type: foo bar)
  6960 
  6961 The ML function ProjectRule.projections turns old-style rules into the
  6962 new format.
  6963 
  6964 * Method "coinduct": dual of induction, see
  6965 src/HOL/Library/Coinductive_List.thy for various examples.
  6966 
  6967 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": the ``(open)'' option is
  6968 considered a legacy feature.
  6969 
  6970 * Attribute "symmetric" produces result with standardized schematic
  6971 variables (index 0).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6972 
  6973 * Simplifier: by default the simplifier trace only shows top level
  6974 rewrites now. That is, trace_simp_depth_limit is set to 1 by
  6975 default. Thus there is less danger of being flooded by the trace. The
  6976 trace indicates where parts have been suppressed.
  6977   
  6978 * Provers/classical: removed obsolete classical version of elim_format
  6979 attribute; classical elim/dest rules are now treated uniformly when
  6980 manipulating the claset.
  6981 
  6982 * Provers/classical: stricter checks to ensure that supplied intro,
  6983 dest and elim rules are well-formed; dest and elim rules must have at
  6984 least one premise.
  6985 
  6986 * Provers/classical: attributes dest/elim/intro take an optional
  6987 weight argument for the rule (just as the Pure versions).  Weights are
  6988 ignored by automated tools, but determine the search order of single
  6989 rule steps.
  6990 
  6991 * Syntax: input syntax now supports dummy variable binding "%_. b",
  6992 where the body does not mention the bound variable.  Note that dummy
  6993 patterns implicitly depend on their context of bounds, which makes
  6994 "{_. _}" match any set comprehension as expected.  Potential
  6995 INCOMPATIBILITY -- parse translations need to cope with syntactic
  6996 constant "_idtdummy" in the binding position.
  6997 
  6998 * Syntax: removed obsolete syntactic constant "_K" and its associated
  6999 parse translation.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- use dummy abstraction instead,
  7000 for example "A -> B" => "Pi A (%_. B)".
  7001 
  7002 * Pure: 'class_deps' command visualizes the subclass relation, using
  7003 the graph browser tool.
  7004 
  7005 * Pure: 'print_theory' now suppresses certain internal declarations by
  7006 default; use '!' option for full details.
  7007 
  7008 
  7009 *** HOL ***
  7010 
  7011 * Method "metis" proves goals by applying the Metis general-purpose
  7012 resolution prover (see also http://gilith.com/software/metis/).
  7013 Examples are in the directory MetisExamples.  WARNING: the
  7014 Isabelle/HOL-Metis integration does not yet work properly with
  7015 multi-threading.
  7016   
  7017 * Command 'sledgehammer' invokes external automatic theorem provers as
  7018 background processes.  It generates calls to the "metis" method if
  7019 successful. These can be pasted into the proof.  Users do not have to
  7020 wait for the automatic provers to return.  WARNING: does not really
  7021 work with multi-threading.
  7022 
  7023 * New "auto_quickcheck" feature tests outermost goal statements for
  7024 potential counter-examples.  Controlled by ML references
  7025 auto_quickcheck (default true) and auto_quickcheck_time_limit (default
  7026 5000 milliseconds).  Fails silently if statements is outside of
  7027 executable fragment, or any other codgenerator problem occurs.
  7028 
  7029 * New constant "undefined" with axiom "undefined x = undefined".
  7030 
  7031 * Added class "HOL.eq", allowing for code generation with polymorphic
  7032 equality.
  7033 
  7034 * Some renaming of class constants due to canonical name prefixing in
  7035 the new 'class' package:
  7036 
  7037     HOL.abs ~> HOL.abs_class.abs
  7038     HOL.divide ~> HOL.divide_class.divide
  7039     0 ~> HOL.zero_class.zero

  7056     Divides.op dvd ~> Divides.div_class.dvd
  7057 
  7058 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Adaptions may be required in the following cases:
  7059 
  7060 a) User-defined constants using any of the names "plus", "minus",
  7061 "times", "less" or "less_eq". The standard syntax translations for
  7062 "+", "-" and "*" may go wrong.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific
  7063 names.
  7064 
  7065 b) Variables named "plus", "minus", "times", "less", "less_eq"
  7066 INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific names.
  7067 
  7068 c) Permutative equations (e.g. "a + b = b + a")
  7069 Since the change of names also changes the order of terms, permutative
  7070 rewrite rules may get applied in a different order. Experience shows
  7071 that this is rarely the case (only two adaptions in the whole Isabelle
  7072 distribution).  INCOMPATIBILITY: rewrite proofs
  7073 
  7074 d) ML code directly refering to constant names
  7075 This in general only affects hand-written proof tactics, simprocs and
  7076 so on.  INCOMPATIBILITY: grep your sourcecode and replace names.
  7077 Consider using @{const_name} antiquotation.
  7078 
  7079 * New class "default" with associated constant "default".
  7080 
  7081 * Function "sgn" is now overloaded and available on int, real, complex
  7082 (and other numeric types), using class "sgn".  Two possible defs of
  7083 sgn are given as equational assumptions in the classes sgn_if and
  7084 sgn_div_norm; ordered_idom now also inherits from sgn_if.
  7085 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7086 
  7087 * Locale "partial_order" now unified with class "order" (cf. theory
  7088 Orderings), added parameter "less".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7089 
  7090 * Renamings in classes "order" and "linorder": facts "refl", "trans" and
  7091 "cases" to "order_refl", "order_trans" and "linorder_cases", to avoid
  7092 clashes with HOL "refl" and "trans".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7093 
  7094 * Classes "order" and "linorder": potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to
  7095 changed order of proof goals in instance proofs.
  7096 
  7097 * The transitivity reasoner for partial and linear orders is set up
  7098 for classes "order" and "linorder".  Instances of the reasoner are available
  7099 in all contexts importing or interpreting the corresponding locales.
  7100 Method "order" invokes the reasoner separately; the reasoner
  7101 is also integrated with the Simplifier as a solver.  Diagnostic
  7102 command 'print_orders' shows the available instances of the reasoner
  7103 in the current context.
  7104 
  7105 * Localized monotonicity predicate in theory "Orderings"; integrated
  7106 lemmas max_of_mono and min_of_mono with this predicate.
  7107 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7108 
  7109 * Formulation of theorem "dense" changed slightly due to integration
  7110 with new class dense_linear_order.
  7111 
  7112 * Uniform lattice theory development in HOL.
  7113 
  7114     constants "meet" and "join" now named "inf" and "sup"
  7115     constant "Meet" now named "Inf"
  7116 
  7117     classes "meet_semilorder" and "join_semilorder" now named
  7118       "lower_semilattice" and "upper_semilattice"
  7119     class "lorder" now named "lattice"
  7120     class "comp_lat" now named "complete_lattice"
  7121 
  7122     Instantiation of lattice classes allows explicit definitions
  7123     for "inf" and "sup" operations (or "Inf" and "Sup" for complete lattices).

  7227 
  7228 * Added syntactic class "size"; overloaded constant "size" now has
  7229 type "'a::size ==> bool"
  7230 
  7231 * Internal reorganisation of `size' of datatypes: size theorems
  7232 "foo.size" are no longer subsumed by "foo.simps" (but are still
  7233 simplification rules by default!); theorems "prod.size" now named
  7234 "*.size".
  7235 
  7236 * Class "div" now inherits from class "times" rather than "type".
  7237 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7238 
  7239 * HOL/Finite_Set: "name-space" locales Lattice, Distrib_lattice,
  7240 Linorder etc.  have disappeared; operations defined in terms of
  7241 fold_set now are named Inf_fin, Sup_fin.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7242 
  7243 * HOL/Nat: neq0_conv no longer declared as iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7244 
  7245 * HOL-Word: New extensive library and type for generic, fixed size
  7246 machine words, with arithmetic, bit-wise, shifting and rotating
  7247 operations, reflection into int, nat, and bool lists, automation for
  7248 linear arithmetic (by automatic reflection into nat or int), including
  7249 lemmas on overflow and monotonicity.  Instantiated to all appropriate
  7250 arithmetic type classes, supporting automatic simplification of
  7251 numerals on all operations.
  7252 
  7253 * Library/Boolean_Algebra: locales for abstract boolean algebras.
  7254 
  7255 * Library/Numeral_Type: numbers as types, e.g. TYPE(32).
  7256 
  7257 * Code generator library theories:
  7258   - Code_Integer represents HOL integers by big integer literals in target
  7259     languages.
  7260   - Code_Char represents HOL characters by character literals in target
  7261     languages.
  7262   - Code_Char_chr like Code_Char, but also offers treatment of character
  7263     codes; includes Code_Integer.
  7264   - Executable_Set allows to generate code for finite sets using lists.
  7265   - Executable_Rat implements rational numbers as triples (sign, enumerator,
  7266     denominator).
  7267   - Executable_Real implements a subset of real numbers, namly those
  7268     representable by rational numbers.
  7269   - Efficient_Nat implements natural numbers by integers, which in general will
  7270     result in higher efficency; pattern matching with 0/Suc is eliminated;
  7271     includes Code_Integer.
  7272   - Code_Index provides an additional datatype index which is mapped to
  7273     target-language built-in integers.
  7274   - Code_Message provides an additional datatype message_string which is isomorphic to
  7275     strings; messages are mapped to target-language strings.
  7276 
  7277 * New package for inductive predicates
  7278 
  7279   An n-ary predicate p with m parameters z_1, ..., z_m can now be defined via
  7280 
  7281     inductive
  7282       p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7283       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7284     where
  7285       rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  7286     | ...
  7287 
  7288   with full support for type-inference, rather than
  7289 
  7290     consts s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7291 
  7292     abbreviation p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7293     where "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7294 
  7295     inductive "s z_1 ... z_m"
  7296     intros
  7297       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7298       ...
  7299 
  7300   For backward compatibility, there is a wrapper allowing inductive
  7301   sets to be defined with the new package via
  7302 
  7303     inductive_set
  7304       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7305       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7306     where
  7307       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7308     | ...
  7309 
  7310   or
  7311 
  7312     inductive_set
  7313       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7314       and p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7315       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7316     where
  7317       "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7318     | rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  7319     | ...
  7320 
  7321   if the additional syntax "p ..." is required.
  7322 
  7323   Numerous examples can be found in the subdirectories src/HOL/Auth,
  7324   src/HOL/Bali, src/HOL/Induct, and src/HOL/MicroJava.
  7325 
  7326   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  7327 
  7328   - Since declaration and definition of inductive sets or predicates
  7329     is no longer separated, abbreviations involving the newly
  7330     introduced sets or predicates must be specified together with the
  7331     introduction rules after the 'where' keyword (see above), rather
  7332     than before the actual inductive definition.
  7333 
  7334   - The variables in induction and elimination rules are now
  7335     quantified in the order of their occurrence in the introduction
  7336     rules, rather than in alphabetical order. Since this may break
  7337     some proofs, these proofs either have to be repaired, e.g. by
  7338     reordering the variables a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i} in Isar 'case'
  7339     statements of the form
  7340 
  7341       case (rule_i a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i})
  7342 
  7343     or the old order of quantification has to be restored by explicitly adding
  7344     meta-level quantifiers in the introduction rules, i.e.
  7345 
  7346       | rule_i: "!!a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i}. ... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_i_1 ... t_i_n"
  7347 
  7348   - The format of the elimination rules is now
  7349 
  7350       p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n ==>
  7351         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  7352         ==> ... ==> P
  7353 
  7354     for predicates and
  7355 
  7356       (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  7357         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  7358         ==> ... ==> P
  7359 
  7360     for sets rather than
  7361 
  7362       x : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  7363         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x = (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) ==> ... ==> P)
  7364         ==> ... ==> P
  7365 
  7366     This may require terms in goals to be expanded to n-tuples
  7367     (e.g. using case_tac or simplification with the split_paired_all
  7368     rule) before the above elimination rule is applicable.
  7369 
  7370   - The elimination or case analysis rules for (mutually) inductive
  7371     sets or predicates are now called "p_1.cases" ... "p_k.cases". The
  7372     list of rules "p_1_..._p_k.elims" is no longer available.
  7373 
  7374 * New package "function"/"fun" for general recursive functions,
  7375 supporting mutual and nested recursion, definitions in local contexts,
  7376 more general pattern matching and partiality. See HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy
  7377 for small examples, and the separate tutorial on the function
  7378 package. The old recdef "package" is still available as before, but
  7379 users are encouraged to use the new package.
  7380 
  7381 * Method "lexicographic_order" automatically synthesizes termination
  7382 relations as lexicographic combinations of size measures. 
  7383 
  7384 * Case-expressions allow arbitrary constructor-patterns (including
  7385 "_") and take their order into account, like in functional
  7386 programming.  Internally, this is translated into nested
  7387 case-expressions; missing cases are added and mapped to the predefined
  7388 constant "undefined". In complicated cases printing may no longer show
  7389 the original input but the internal form. Lambda-abstractions allow
  7390 the same form of pattern matching: "% pat1 => e1 | ..." is an
  7391 abbreviation for "%x. case x of pat1 => e1 | ..." where x is a new
  7392 variable.
  7393 
  7394 * IntDef: The constant "int :: nat => int" has been removed; now "int"
  7395 is an abbreviation for "of_nat :: nat => int". The simplification
  7396 rules for "of_nat" have been changed to work like "int" did
  7397 previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  7398   - "of_nat (Suc m)" simplifies to "1 + of_nat m" instead of "of_nat m + 1"
  7399   - of_nat_diff and of_nat_mult are no longer default simp rules
  7400 
  7401 * Method "algebra" solves polynomial equations over (semi)rings using
  7402 Groebner bases. The (semi)ring structure is defined by locales and the
  7403 tool setup depends on that generic context. Installing the method for
  7404 a specific type involves instantiating the locale and possibly adding
  7405 declarations for computation on the coefficients.  The method is
  7406 already instantiated for natural numbers and for the axiomatic class
  7407 of idoms with numerals.  See also the paper by Chaieb and Wenzel at
  7408 CALCULEMUS 2007 for the general principles underlying this
  7409 architecture of context-aware proof-tools.
  7410 
  7411 * Method "ferrack" implements quantifier elimination over
  7412 special-purpose dense linear orders using locales (analogous to
  7413 "algebra"). The method is already installed for class
  7414 {ordered_field,recpower,number_ring} which subsumes real, hyperreal,
  7415 rat, etc.
  7416 
  7417 * Former constant "List.op @" now named "List.append".  Use ML
  7418 antiquotations @{const_name List.append} or @{term " ... @ ... "} to
  7419 circumvent possible incompatibilities when working on ML level.
  7420 
  7421 * primrec: missing cases mapped to "undefined" instead of "arbitrary".
  7422 
  7423 * New function listsum :: 'a list => 'a for arbitrary monoids.
  7424 Special syntax: "SUM x <- xs. f x" (and latex variants)
  7425 
  7426 * New syntax for Haskell-like list comprehension (input only), eg.
  7427 [(x,y). x <- xs, y <- ys, x ~= y], see also src/HOL/List.thy.
  7428 
  7429 * The special syntax for function "filter" has changed from [x :
  7430 xs. P] to [x <- xs. P] to avoid an ambiguity caused by list
  7431 comprehension syntax, and for uniformity.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7432 
  7433 * [a..b] is now defined for arbitrary linear orders.  It used to be
  7434 defined on nat only, as an abbreviation for [a..<Suc b]
  7435 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7436 
  7437 * Renamed lemma "set_take_whileD"  to "set_takeWhileD".
  7438 
  7439 * New functions "sorted" and "sort" in src/HOL/List.thy.
  7440 
  7441 * New lemma collection field_simps (an extension of ring_simps) for
  7442 manipulating (in)equations involving division. Multiplies with all
  7443 denominators that can be proved to be non-zero (in equations) or
  7444 positive/negative (in inequations).
  7445 
  7446 * Lemma collections ring_eq_simps, group_eq_simps and ring_distrib
  7447 have been improved and renamed to ring_simps, group_simps and
  7448 ring_distribs.  Removed lemmas field_xyz in theory Ring_and_Field
  7449 because they were subsumed by lemmas xyz.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7450 
  7451 * Theory Library/Commutative_Ring: switched from recdef to function
  7452 package; constants add, mul, pow now curried.  Infix syntax for
  7453 algebraic operations.
  7454 
  7455 * Dropped redundant lemma def_imp_eq in favor of meta_eq_to_obj_eq.
  7456 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7457 
  7458 * Dropped redundant lemma if_def2 in favor of if_bool_eq_conj.
  7459 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7460 
  7461 * HOL/records: generalised field-update to take a function on the
  7462 field rather than the new value: r(|A := x|) is translated to A_update
  7463 (K x) r The K-combinator that is internally used is called K_record.
  7464 INCOMPATIBILITY: Usage of the plain update functions has to be
  7465 adapted.
  7466  
  7467 * Class "semiring_0" now contains annihilation axioms x * 0 = 0 and 0
  7468 * x = 0, which are required for a semiring.  Richer structures do not
  7469 inherit from semiring_0 anymore, because this property is a theorem
  7470 there, not an axiom.  INCOMPATIBILITY: In instances of semiring_0,
  7471 there is more to prove, but this is mostly trivial.
  7472 
  7473 * Class "recpower" is generalized to arbitrary monoids, not just
  7474 commutative semirings.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to incorporate
  7475 commutativity or semiring properties additionally.
  7476 
  7477 * Constant "List.list_all2" in List.thy now uses authentic syntax.
  7478 INCOMPATIBILITY: translations containing list_all2 may go wrong,
  7479 better use 'abbreviation'.
  7480 
  7481 * Renamed constant "List.op mem" to "List.member".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7482 
  7483 * Numeral syntax: type 'bin' which was a mere type copy of 'int' has
  7484 been abandoned in favour of plain 'int'.  INCOMPATIBILITY --
  7485 significant changes for setting up numeral syntax for types:
  7486   - New constants Numeral.pred and Numeral.succ instead
  7487       of former Numeral.bin_pred and Numeral.bin_succ.
  7488   - Use integer operations instead of bin_add, bin_mult and so on.
  7489   - Numeral simplification theorems named Numeral.numeral_simps instead of Bin_simps.
  7490   - ML structure Bin_Simprocs now named Int_Numeral_Base_Simprocs.
  7491 
  7492 See src/HOL/Integ/IntArith.thy for an example setup.
  7493 
  7494 * Command 'normal_form' computes the normal form of a term that may
  7495 contain free variables.  For example ``normal_form "rev [a, b, c]"''
  7496 produces ``[b, c, a]'' (without proof).  This command is suitable for
  7497 heavy-duty computations because the functions are compiled to ML
  7498 first.  Correspondingly, a method "normalization" is provided.  See
  7499 further src/HOL/ex/NormalForm.thy and src/Tools/nbe.ML.
  7500 
  7501 * Alternative iff syntax "A <-> B" for equality on bool (with priority
  7502 25 like -->); output depends on the "iff" print_mode, the default is
  7503 "A = B" (with priority 50).
  7504 
  7505 * Relations less (<) and less_eq (<=) are also available on type bool.
  7506 Modified syntax to disallow nesting without explicit parentheses,
  7507 e.g. "(x < y) < z" or "x < (y < z)", but NOT "x < y < z".  Potential
  7508 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7509 
  7510 * "LEAST x:A. P" expands to "LEAST x. x:A & P" (input only).
  7511 
  7512 * Relation composition operator "op O" now has precedence 75 and binds
  7513 stronger than union and intersection. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7514 
  7515 * The old set interval syntax "{m..n(}" (and relatives) has been
  7516 removed.  Use "{m..<n}" (and relatives) instead.
  7517 
  7518 * In the context of the assumption "~(s = t)" the Simplifier rewrites
  7519 "t = s" to False (by simproc "neq").  INCOMPATIBILITY, consider using
  7520 ``declare [[simproc del: neq]]''.
  7521 
  7522 * Simplifier: "m dvd n" where m and n are numbers is evaluated to
  7523 True/False.
  7524 
  7525 * Theorem Cons_eq_map_conv no longer declared as "simp".
  7526 
  7527 * Theorem setsum_mult renamed to setsum_right_distrib.
  7528 
  7529 * Prefer ex1I over ex_ex1I in single-step reasoning, e.g. by the
  7530 ``rule'' method.
  7531 
  7532 * Reimplemented methods "sat" and "satx", with several improvements:
  7533 goals no longer need to be stated as "<prems> ==> False", equivalences
  7534 (i.e. "=" on type bool) are handled, variable names of the form
  7535 "lit_<n>" are no longer reserved, significant speedup.
  7536 
  7537 * Methods "sat" and "satx" can now replay MiniSat proof traces.
  7538 zChaff is still supported as well.
  7539 
  7540 * 'inductive' and 'datatype': provide projections of mutual rules,
  7541 bundled as foo_bar.inducts;
  7542 
  7543 * Library: moved theories Parity, GCD, Binomial, Infinite_Set to
  7544 Library.
  7545 
  7546 * Library: moved theory Accessible_Part to main HOL.
  7547 
  7548 * Library: added theory Coinductive_List of potentially infinite lists
  7549 as greatest fixed-point.
  7550 
  7551 * Library: added theory AssocList which implements (finite) maps as
  7552 association lists.
  7553 
  7554 * Method "evaluation" solves goals (i.e. a boolean expression)
  7555 efficiently by compiling it to ML.  The goal is "proved" (via an
  7556 oracle) if it evaluates to True.
  7557 
  7558 * Linear arithmetic now splits certain operators (e.g. min, max, abs)
  7559 also when invoked by the simplifier.  This results in the Simplifier
  7560 being more powerful on arithmetic goals.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7561 Configuration option fast_arith_split_limit=0 recovers the old
  7562 behavior.
  7563 
  7564 * Support for hex (0x20) and binary (0b1001) numerals.
  7565 
  7566 * New method: reify eqs (t), where eqs are equations for an
  7567 interpretation I :: 'a list => 'b => 'c and t::'c is an optional
  7568 parameter, computes a term s::'b and a list xs::'a list and proves the
  7569 theorem I xs s = t. This is also known as reification or quoting. The
  7570 resulting theorem is applied to the subgoal to substitute t with I xs
  7571 s.  If t is omitted, the subgoal itself is reified.
  7572 
  7573 * New method: reflection corr_thm eqs (t). The parameters eqs and (t)
  7574 are as explained above. corr_thm is a theorem for I vs (f t) = I vs t,
  7575 where f is supposed to be a computable function (in the sense of code
  7576 generattion). The method uses reify to compute s and xs as above then
  7577 applies corr_thm and uses normalization by evaluation to "prove" f s =
  7578 r and finally gets the theorem t = r, which is again applied to the
  7579 subgoal. An Example is available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy.
  7580 
  7581 * Reflection: Automatic reification now handels binding, an example is
  7582 available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy
  7583 
  7584 * HOL-Statespace: ``State Spaces: The Locale Way'' introduces a
  7585 command 'statespace' that is similar to 'record', but introduces an
  7586 abstract specification based on the locale infrastructure instead of
  7587 HOL types.  This leads to extra flexibility in composing state spaces,
  7588 in particular multiple inheritance and renaming of components.
  7589 
  7590 
  7591 *** HOL-Complex ***
  7592 
  7593 * Hyperreal: Functions root and sqrt are now defined on negative real
  7594 inputs so that root n (- x) = - root n x and sqrt (- x) = - sqrt x.
  7595 Nonnegativity side conditions have been removed from many lemmas, so
  7596 that more subgoals may now be solved by simplification; potential
  7597 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7598 
  7599 * Real: new type classes formalize real normed vector spaces and
  7600 algebras, using new overloaded constants scaleR :: real => 'a => 'a
  7601 and norm :: 'a => real.
  7602 
  7603 * Real: constant of_real :: real => 'a::real_algebra_1 injects from
  7604 reals into other types. The overloaded constant Reals :: 'a set is now
  7605 defined as range of_real; potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7606 
  7607 * Real: proper support for ML code generation, including 'quickcheck'.
  7608 Reals are implemented as arbitrary precision rationals.
  7609 
  7610 * Hyperreal: Several constants that previously worked only for the
  7611 reals have been generalized, so they now work over arbitrary vector
  7612 spaces. Type annotations may need to be added in some cases; potential
  7613 INCOMPATIBILITY.

  7629   exp            :: 'a::{recpower,real_normed_field,banach} => 'a
  7630 
  7631 * Complex: Some complex-specific constants are now abbreviations for
  7632 overloaded ones: complex_of_real = of_real, cmod = norm, hcmod =
  7633 hnorm.  Other constants have been entirely removed in favor of the
  7634 polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  7645 
  7646 
  7647 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  7648 
  7649 * Formalisation of ideals and the quotient construction over rings.
  7650 
  7651 * Order and lattice theory no longer based on records.
  7652 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7653 
  7654 * Renamed lemmas least_carrier -> least_closed and greatest_carrier ->
  7655 greatest_closed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7656 
  7657 * Method algebra is now set up via an attribute.  For examples see
  7658 Ring.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY: the method is now weaker on combinations
  7659 of algebraic structures.
  7660 
  7661 * Renamed theory CRing to Ring.
  7662 
  7663 
  7664 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  7665 
  7666 * Substantial, yet incomplete support for nominal datatypes (binding
  7667 structures) based on HOL-Nominal logic.  See src/HOL/Nominal and
  7668 src/HOL/Nominal/Examples.  Prospective users should consult
  7669 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/nominal/
  7670 
  7671 
  7672 *** ML ***
  7673 
  7674 * ML basics: just one true type int, which coincides with IntInf.int
  7675 (even on SML/NJ).
  7676 
  7677 * ML within Isar: antiquotations allow to embed statically-checked
  7678 formal entities in the source, referring to the context available at
  7679 compile-time.  For example:
  7680 
  7681 ML {* @{sort "{zero,one}"} *}
  7682 ML {* @{typ "'a => 'b"} *}
  7683 ML {* @{term "%x. x"} *}
  7684 ML {* @{prop "x == y"} *}
  7685 ML {* @{ctyp "'a => 'b"} *}
  7686 ML {* @{cterm "%x. x"} *}
  7687 ML {* @{cprop "x == y"} *}
  7688 ML {* @{thm asm_rl} *}
  7689 ML {* @{thms asm_rl} *}
  7690 ML {* @{type_name c} *}
  7691 ML {* @{type_syntax c} *}
  7692 ML {* @{const_name c} *}
  7693 ML {* @{const_syntax c} *}
  7694 ML {* @{context} *}
  7695 ML {* @{theory} *}
  7696 ML {* @{theory Pure} *}
  7697 ML {* @{theory_ref} *}
  7698 ML {* @{theory_ref Pure} *}
  7699 ML {* @{simpset} *}
  7700 ML {* @{claset} *}
  7701 ML {* @{clasimpset} *}
  7702 
  7703 The same works for sources being ``used'' within an Isar context.
  7704 
  7705 * ML in Isar: improved error reporting; extra verbosity with
  7706 ML_Context.trace enabled.
  7707 
  7708 * Pure/General/table.ML: the join operations now works via exceptions
  7709 DUP/SAME instead of type option. This is simpler in simple cases, and
  7710 admits slightly more efficient complex applications.
  7711 
  7712 * Pure: 'advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) now
  7713 use Context.generic instead of just theory.
  7714 
  7715 * Pure: datatype Context.generic joins theory/Proof.context and
  7716 provides some facilities for code that works in either kind of
  7717 context, notably GenericDataFun for uniform theory and proof data.
  7718 
  7719 * Pure: simplified internal attribute type, which is now always
  7720 Context.generic * thm -> Context.generic * thm. Global (theory) vs.
  7721 local (Proof.context) attributes have been discontinued, while
  7722 minimizing code duplication. Thm.rule_attribute and
  7723 Thm.declaration_attribute build canonical attributes; see also structure
  7724 Context for further operations on Context.generic, notably
  7725 GenericDataFun. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt attribute type
  7726 declarations and definitions.
  7727 
  7728 * Context data interfaces (Theory/Proof/GenericDataFun): removed
  7729 name/print, uninitialized data defaults to ad-hoc copy of empty value,
  7730 init only required for impure data. INCOMPATIBILITY: empty really need
  7731 to be empty (no dependencies on theory content!)
  7732 
  7733 * Pure/kernel: consts certification ignores sort constraints given in
  7734 signature declarations. (This information is not relevant to the
  7735 logic, but only for type inference.) SIGNIFICANT INTERNAL CHANGE,
  7736 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7737 
  7738 * Pure: axiomatic type classes are now purely definitional, with
  7739 explicit proofs of class axioms and super class relations performed
  7740 internally. See Pure/axclass.ML for the main internal interfaces --
  7741 notably AxClass.define_class supercedes AxClass.add_axclass, and
  7742 AxClass.axiomatize_class/classrel/arity supersede
  7743 Sign.add_classes/classrel/arities.
  7744 
  7745 * Pure/Isar: Args/Attrib parsers operate on Context.generic --
  7746 global/local versions on theory vs. Proof.context have been
  7747 discontinued; Attrib.syntax and Method.syntax have been adapted
  7748 accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt parser expressions for
  7749 attributes, methods, etc.
  7750 
  7751 * Pure: several functions of signature "... -> theory -> theory * ..."
  7752 have been reoriented to "... -> theory -> ... * theory" in order to
  7753 allow natural usage in combination with the ||>, ||>>, |-> and
  7754 fold_map combinators.
  7755 
  7756 * Pure: official theorem names (closed derivations) and additional
  7757 comments (tags) are now strictly separate.  Name hints -- which are
  7758 maintained as tags -- may be attached any time without affecting the
  7759 derivation.
  7760 
  7761 * Pure: primitive rule lift_rule now takes goal cterm instead of an
  7762 actual goal state (thm).  Use Thm.lift_rule (Thm.cprem_of st i) to
  7763 achieve the old behaviour.
  7764 
  7765 * Pure: the "Goal" constant is now called "prop", supporting a
  7766 slightly more general idea of ``protecting'' meta-level rule
  7767 statements.
  7768 
  7769 * Pure: Logic.(un)varify only works in a global context, which is now
  7770 enforced instead of silently assumed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use
  7771 Logic.legacy_(un)varify as temporary workaround.
  7772 
  7773 * Pure: structure Name provides scalable operations for generating
  7774 internal variable names, notably Name.variants etc.  This replaces
  7775 some popular functions from term.ML:
  7776 
  7777   Term.variant		->  Name.variant
  7778   Term.variantlist	->  Name.variant_list
  7779   Term.invent_names	->  Name.invent_list
  7780 
  7781 Note that low-level renaming rarely occurs in new code -- operations
  7782 from structure Variable are used instead (see below).
  7783 
  7784 * Pure: structure Variable provides fundamental operations for proper
  7785 treatment of fixed/schematic variables in a context.  For example,
  7786 Variable.import introduces fixes for schematics of given facts and
  7787 Variable.export reverses the effect (up to renaming) -- this replaces
  7788 various freeze_thaw operations.
  7789 
  7790 * Pure: structure Goal provides simple interfaces for
  7791 init/conclude/finish and tactical prove operations (replacing former
  7792 Tactic.prove).  Goal.prove is the canonical way to prove results
  7793 within a given context; Goal.prove_global is a degraded version for
  7794 theory level goals, including a global Drule.standard.  Note that
  7795 OldGoals.prove_goalw_cterm has long been obsolete, since it is
  7796 ill-behaved in a local proof context (e.g. with local fixes/assumes or
  7797 in a locale context).
  7798 
  7799 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for parsing (Syntax.parse_term etc.)
  7800 and type checking (Syntax.check_term etc.), with common combinations
  7801 (Syntax.read_term etc.). These supersede former Sign.read_term etc.
  7802 which are considered legacy and await removal.
  7803 
  7804 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for type unchecking
  7805 (Syntax.uncheck_terms etc.) and unparsing (Syntax.unparse_term etc.),
  7806 with common combinations (Syntax.pretty_term, Syntax.string_of_term
  7807 etc.).  Former Sign.pretty_term, Sign.string_of_term etc. are still
  7808 available for convenience, but refer to the very same operations using
  7809 a mere theory instead of a full context.
  7810 
  7811 * Isar: simplified treatment of user-level errors, using exception
  7812 ERROR of string uniformly.  Function error now merely raises ERROR,
  7813 without any side effect on output channels.  The Isar toplevel takes
  7814 care of proper display of ERROR exceptions.  ML code may use plain
  7815 handle/can/try; cat_error may be used to concatenate errors like this:
  7816 
  7817   ... handle ERROR msg => cat_error msg "..."
  7818 
  7819 Toplevel ML code (run directly or through the Isar toplevel) may be
  7820 embedded into the Isar toplevel with exception display/debug like
  7821 this:
  7822 
  7823   Isar.toplevel (fn () => ...)
  7824 
  7825 INCOMPATIBILITY, removed special transform_error facilities, removed
  7826 obsolete variants of user-level exceptions (ERROR_MESSAGE,
  7827 Context.PROOF, ProofContext.CONTEXT, Proof.STATE, ProofHistory.FAIL)
  7828 -- use plain ERROR instead.
  7829 
  7830 * Isar: theory setup now has type (theory -> theory), instead of a
  7831 list.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use #> to compose setup functions.
  7832 
  7833 * Isar: ML toplevel pretty printer for type Proof.context, subject to
  7834 ProofContext.debug/verbose flags.
  7835 
  7836 * Isar: Toplevel.theory_to_proof admits transactions that modify the
  7837 theory before entering a proof state.  Transactions now always see a
  7838 quasi-functional intermediate checkpoint, both in interactive and
  7839 batch mode.
  7840 
  7841 * Isar: simplified interfaces for outer syntax.  Renamed
  7842 OuterSyntax.add_keywords to OuterSyntax.keywords.  Removed
  7843 OuterSyntax.add_parsers -- this functionality is now included in
  7844 OuterSyntax.command etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7845 
  7846 * Simplifier: the simpset of a running simplification process now
  7847 contains a proof context (cf. Simplifier.the_context), which is the
  7848 very context that the initial simpset has been retrieved from (by
  7849 simpset_of/local_simpset_of).  Consequently, all plug-in components
  7850 (solver, looper etc.) may depend on arbitrary proof data.
  7851 
  7852 * Simplifier.inherit_context inherits the proof context (plus the
  7853 local bounds) of the current simplification process; any simproc
  7854 etc. that calls the Simplifier recursively should do this!  Removed
  7855 former Simplifier.inherit_bounds, which is already included here --
  7856 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Tools based on low-level rewriting may even have to
  7857 specify an explicit context using Simplifier.context/theory_context.
  7858 
  7859 * Simplifier/Classical Reasoner: more abstract interfaces
  7860 change_simpset/claset for modifying the simpset/claset reference of a
  7861 theory; raw versions simpset/claset_ref etc. have been discontinued --
  7862 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7863 
  7864 * Provers: more generic wrt. syntax of object-logics, avoid hardwired
  7865 "Trueprop" etc.
  7866 
  7867 
  7868 *** System ***
  7869 
  7870 * settings: the default heap location within ISABELLE_HOME_USER now
  7871 includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER.  This simplifies use of multiple
  7872 Isabelle installations.
  7873 
  7874 * isabelle-process: option -S (secure mode) disables some critical
  7875 operations, notably runtime compilation and evaluation of ML source
  7876 code.
  7877 
  7878 * Basic Isabelle mode for jEdit, see Isabelle/lib/jedit/.
  7879 
  7880 * Support for parallel execution, using native multicore support of
  7881 Poly/ML 5.1.  The theory loader exploits parallelism when processing
  7882 independent theories, according to the given theory header
  7883 specifications. The maximum number of worker threads is specified via
  7884 usedir option -M or the "max-threads" setting in Proof General. A
  7885 speedup factor of 1.5--3.5 can be expected on a 4-core machine, and up
  7886 to 6 on a 8-core machine.  User-code needs to observe certain

  7891 
  7892 New in Isabelle2005 (October 2005)
  7893 ----------------------------------
  7894 
  7895 *** General ***
  7896 
  7897 * Theory headers: the new header syntax for Isar theories is
  7898 
  7899   theory <name>
  7900   imports <theory1> ... <theoryN>
  7901   uses <file1> ... <fileM>
  7902   begin
  7903 
  7904 where the 'uses' part is optional.  The previous syntax
  7905 
  7906   theory <name> = <theory1> + ... + <theoryN>:
  7907 
  7908 will disappear in the next release.  Use isatool fixheaders to convert
  7909 existing theory files.  Note that there is no change in ancient
  7910 non-Isar theories now, but these will disappear soon.
  7911 
  7912 * Theory loader: parent theories can now also be referred to via
  7913 relative and absolute paths.
  7914 
  7915 * Command 'find_theorems' searches for a list of criteria instead of a
  7916 list of constants. Known criteria are: intro, elim, dest, name:string,
  7917 simp:term, and any term. Criteria can be preceded by '-' to select
  7918 theorems that do not match. Intro, elim, dest select theorems that
  7919 match the current goal, name:s selects theorems whose fully qualified
  7920 name contain s, and simp:term selects all simplification rules whose
  7921 lhs match term.  Any other term is interpreted as pattern and selects
  7922 all theorems matching the pattern. Available in ProofGeneral under
  7923 'ProofGeneral -> Find Theorems' or C-c C-f.  Example:
  7924 
  7925   C-c C-f (100) "(_::nat) + _ + _" intro -name: "HOL."
  7926 
  7927 prints the last 100 theorems matching the pattern "(_::nat) + _ + _",
  7928 matching the current goal as introduction rule and not having "HOL."
  7929 in their name (i.e. not being defined in theory HOL).
  7930 
  7931 * Command 'thms_containing' has been discontinued in favour of
  7932 'find_theorems'; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7933 
  7934 * Communication with Proof General is now 8bit clean, which means that
  7935 Unicode text in UTF-8 encoding may be used within theory texts (both
  7936 formal and informal parts).  Cf. option -U of the Isabelle Proof
  7937 General interface.  Here are some simple examples (cf. src/HOL/ex):
  7938 
  7939   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Hebrew.html
  7940   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Chinese.html
  7941 
  7942 * Improved efficiency of the Simplifier and, to a lesser degree, the
  7943 Classical Reasoner.  Typical big applications run around 2 times
  7944 faster.
  7945 
  7946 
  7947 *** Document preparation ***
  7948 
  7949 * Commands 'display_drafts' and 'print_drafts' perform simple output
  7950 of raw sources.  Only those symbols that do not require additional
  7951 LaTeX packages (depending on comments in isabellesym.sty) are
  7952 displayed properly, everything else is left verbatim.  isatool display
  7953 and isatool print are used as front ends (these are subject to the
  7954 DVI/PDF_VIEWER and PRINT_COMMAND settings, respectively).
  7955 
  7956 * Command tags control specific markup of certain regions of text,
  7957 notably folding and hiding.  Predefined tags include "theory" (for
  7958 theory begin and end), "proof" for proof commands, and "ML" for
  7959 commands involving ML code; the additional tags "visible" and
  7960 "invisible" are unused by default.  Users may give explicit tag
  7961 specifications in the text, e.g. ''by %invisible (auto)''.  The
  7962 interpretation of tags is determined by the LaTeX job during document
  7963 preparation: see option -V of isatool usedir, or options -n and -t of
  7964 isatool document, or even the LaTeX macros \isakeeptag, \isafoldtag,
  7965 \isadroptag.
  7966 
  7967 Several document versions may be produced at the same time via isatool
  7968 usedir (the generated index.html will link all of them).  Typical
  7969 specifications include ''-V document=theory,proof,ML'' to present
  7970 theory/proof/ML parts faithfully, ''-V outline=/proof,/ML'' to fold
  7971 proof and ML commands, and ''-V mutilated=-theory,-proof,-ML'' to omit
  7972 these parts without any formal replacement text.  The Isabelle site
  7973 default settings produce ''document'' and ''outline'' versions as
  7974 specified above.
  7975 
  7976 * Several new antiquotations:
  7977 
  7978   @{term_type term} prints a term with its type annotated;
  7979 
  7980   @{typeof term} prints the type of a term;
  7981 
  7982   @{const const} is the same as @{term const}, but checks that the
  7983   argument is a known logical constant;
  7984 
  7985   @{term_style style term} and @{thm_style style thm} print a term or
  7986   theorem applying a "style" to it
  7987 
  7988   @{ML text}
  7989 
  7990 Predefined styles are 'lhs' and 'rhs' printing the lhs/rhs of
  7991 definitions, equations, inequations etc., 'concl' printing only the
  7992 conclusion of a meta-logical statement theorem, and 'prem1' .. 'prem19'
  7993 to print the specified premise.  TermStyle.add_style provides an ML
  7994 interface for introducing further styles.  See also the "LaTeX Sugar"
  7995 document practical applications.  The ML antiquotation prints
  7996 type-checked ML expressions verbatim.
  7997 
  7998 * Markup commands 'chapter', 'section', 'subsection', 'subsubsection',
  7999 and 'text' support optional locale specification '(in loc)', which
  8000 specifies the default context for interpreting antiquotations.  For
  8001 example: 'text (in lattice) {* @{thm inf_assoc}*}'.
  8002 
  8003 * Option 'locale=NAME' of antiquotations specifies an alternative
  8004 context interpreting the subsequent argument.  For example: @{thm
  8005 [locale=lattice] inf_assoc}.
  8006 
  8007 * Proper output of proof terms (@{prf ...} and @{full_prf ...}) within
  8008 a proof context.
  8009 
  8010 * Proper output of antiquotations for theory commands involving a
  8011 proof context (such as 'locale' or 'theorem (in loc) ...').
  8012 
  8013 * Delimiters of outer tokens (string etc.) now produce separate LaTeX
  8014 macros (\isachardoublequoteopen, isachardoublequoteclose etc.).
  8015 
  8016 * isatool usedir: new option -C (default true) controls whether option
  8017 -D should include a copy of the original document directory; -C false
  8018 prevents unwanted effects such as copying of administrative CVS data.
  8019 
  8020 
  8021 *** Pure ***
  8022 
  8023 * Considerably improved version of 'constdefs' command.  Now performs
  8024 automatic type-inference of declared constants; additional support for
  8025 local structure declarations (cf. locales and HOL records), see also
  8026 isar-ref manual.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to observe strictly
  8027 sequential dependencies of definitions within a single 'constdefs'
  8028 section; moreover, the declared name needs to be an identifier.  If
  8029 all fails, consider to fall back on 'consts' and 'defs' separately.
  8030 
  8031 * Improved indexed syntax and implicit structures.  First of all,
  8032 indexed syntax provides a notational device for subscripted
  8033 application, using the new syntax \<^bsub>term\<^esub> for arbitrary
  8034 expressions.  Secondly, in a local context with structure
  8035 declarations, number indexes \<^sub>n or the empty index (default
  8036 number 1) refer to a certain fixed variable implicitly; option
  8037 show_structs controls printing of implicit structures.  Typical
  8038 applications of these concepts involve record types and locales.
  8039 
  8040 * New command 'no_syntax' removes grammar declarations (and
  8041 translations) resulting from the given syntax specification, which is
  8042 interpreted in the same manner as for the 'syntax' command.
  8043 
  8044 * 'Advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) may depend
  8045 on the signature of the theory context being presently used for
  8046 parsing/printing, see also isar-ref manual.
  8047 
  8048 * Improved 'oracle' command provides a type-safe interface to turn an
  8049 ML expression of type theory -> T -> term into a primitive rule of
  8050 type theory -> T -> thm (i.e. the functionality of Thm.invoke_oracle
  8051 is already included here); see also FOL/ex/IffExample.thy;
  8052 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8053 
  8054 * axclass: name space prefix for class "c" is now "c_class" (was "c"
  8055 before); "cI" is no longer bound, use "c.intro" instead.
  8056 INCOMPATIBILITY.  This change avoids clashes of fact bindings for
  8057 axclasses vs. locales.
  8058 
  8059 * Improved internal renaming of symbolic identifiers -- attach primes
  8060 instead of base 26 numbers.
  8061 
  8062 * New flag show_question_marks controls printing of leading question
  8063 marks in schematic variable names.
  8064 
  8065 * In schematic variable names, *any* symbol following \<^isub> or
  8066 \<^isup> is now treated as part of the base name.  For example, the
  8067 following works without printing of awkward ".0" indexes:
  8068 
  8069   lemma "x\<^isub>1 = x\<^isub>2 ==> x\<^isub>2 = x\<^isub>1"
  8070     by simp
  8071 
  8072 * Inner syntax includes (*(*nested*) comments*).
  8073 
  8074 * Pretty printer now supports unbreakable blocks, specified in mixfix
  8075 annotations as "(00...)".
  8076 
  8077 * Clear separation of logical types and nonterminals, where the latter
  8078 may only occur in 'syntax' specifications or type abbreviations.
  8079 Before that distinction was only partially implemented via type class
  8080 "logic" vs. "{}".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare cases of improper
  8081 use of 'types'/'consts' instead of 'nonterminals'/'syntax'.  Some very
  8082 exotic syntax specifications may require further adaption
  8083 (e.g. Cube/Cube.thy).
  8084 
  8085 * Removed obsolete type class "logic", use the top sort {} instead.
  8086 Note that non-logical types should be declared as 'nonterminals'
  8087 rather than 'types'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for new object-logic
  8088 specifications.
  8089 
  8090 * Attributes 'induct' and 'cases': type or set names may now be
  8091 locally fixed variables as well.
  8092 
  8093 * Simplifier: can now control the depth to which conditional rewriting
  8094 is traced via the PG menu Isabelle -> Settings -> Trace Simp Depth
  8095 Limit.
  8096 
  8097 * Simplifier: simplification procedures may now take the current
  8098 simpset into account (cf. Simplifier.simproc(_i) / mk_simproc
  8099 interface), which is very useful for calling the Simplifier
  8100 recursively.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: the 'prems' argument of simprocs
  8101 is gone -- use prems_of_ss on the simpset instead.  Moreover, the
  8102 low-level mk_simproc no longer applies Logic.varify internally, to
  8103 allow for use in a context of fixed variables.
  8104 
  8105 * thin_tac now works even if the assumption being deleted contains !!
  8106 or ==>.  More generally, erule now works even if the major premise of
  8107 the elimination rule contains !! or ==>.
  8108 
  8109 * Method 'rules' has been renamed to 'iprover'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8110 
  8111 * Reorganized bootstrapping of the Pure theories; CPure is now derived
  8112 from Pure, which contains all common declarations already.  Both
  8113 theories are defined via plain Isabelle/Isar .thy files.
  8114 INCOMPATIBILITY: elements of CPure (such as the CPure.intro /
  8115 CPure.elim / CPure.dest attributes) now appear in the Pure name space;
  8116 use isatool fixcpure to adapt your theory and ML sources.
  8117 
  8118 * New syntax 'name(i-j, i-, i, ...)' for referring to specific
  8119 selections of theorems in named facts via index ranges.
  8120 
  8121 * 'print_theorems': in theory mode, really print the difference
  8122 wrt. the last state (works for interactive theory development only),
  8123 in proof mode print all local facts (cf. 'print_facts');
  8124 
  8125 * 'hide': option '(open)' hides only base names.
  8126 
  8127 * More efficient treatment of intermediate checkpoints in interactive
  8128 theory development.
  8129 
  8130 * Code generator is now invoked via code_module (incremental code
  8131 generation) and code_library (modular code generation, ML structures
  8132 for each theory).  INCOMPATIBILITY: new keywords 'file' and 'contains'
  8133 must be quoted when used as identifiers.
  8134 
  8135 * New 'value' command for reading, evaluating and printing terms using
  8136 the code generator.  INCOMPATIBILITY: command keyword 'value' must be
  8137 quoted when used as identifier.
  8138 
  8139 
  8140 *** Locales ***
  8141 
  8142 * New commands for the interpretation of locale expressions in
  8143 theories (1), locales (2) and proof contexts (3).  These generate
  8144 proof obligations from the expression specification.  After the
  8145 obligations have been discharged, theorems of the expression are added
  8146 to the theory, target locale or proof context.  The synopsis of the
  8147 commands is a follows:
  8148 
  8149   (1) interpretation expr inst
  8150   (2) interpretation target < expr
  8151   (3) interpret expr inst
  8152 
  8153 Interpretation in theories and proof contexts require a parameter
  8154 instantiation of terms from the current context.  This is applied to
  8155 specifications and theorems of the interpreted expression.
  8156 Interpretation in locales only permits parameter renaming through the
  8157 locale expression.  Interpretation is smart in that interpretations
  8158 that are active already do not occur in proof obligations, neither are
  8159 instantiated theorems stored in duplicate.  Use 'print_interps' to
  8160 inspect active interpretations of a particular locale.  For details,
  8161 see the Isar Reference manual.  Examples can be found in
  8162 HOL/Finite_Set.thy and HOL/Algebra/UnivPoly.thy.
  8163 
  8164 INCOMPATIBILITY: former 'instantiate' has been withdrawn, use
  8165 'interpret' instead.
  8166 
  8167 * New context element 'constrains' for adding type constraints to
  8168 parameters.
  8169 
  8170 * Context expressions: renaming of parameters with syntax
  8171 redeclaration.
  8172 
  8173 * Locale declaration: 'includes' disallowed.
  8174 
  8175 * Proper static binding of attribute syntax -- i.e. types / terms /
  8176 facts mentioned as arguments are always those of the locale definition
  8177 context, independently of the context of later invocations.  Moreover,
  8178 locale operations (renaming and type / term instantiation) are applied
  8179 to attribute arguments as expected.
  8180 
  8181 INCOMPATIBILITY of the ML interface: always pass Attrib.src instead of
  8182 actual attributes; rare situations may require Attrib.attribute to
  8183 embed those attributes into Attrib.src that lack concrete syntax.
  8184 Attribute implementations need to cooperate properly with the static
  8185 binding mechanism.  Basic parsers Args.XXX_typ/term/prop and
  8186 Attrib.XXX_thm etc. already do the right thing without further
  8187 intervention.  Only unusual applications -- such as "where" or "of"
  8188 (cf. src/Pure/Isar/attrib.ML), which process arguments depending both
  8189 on the context and the facts involved -- may have to assign parsed
  8190 values to argument tokens explicitly.
  8191 
  8192 * Changed parameter management in theorem generation for long goal
  8193 statements with 'includes'.  INCOMPATIBILITY: produces a different
  8194 theorem statement in rare situations.
  8195 
  8196 * Locale inspection command 'print_locale' omits notes elements.  Use
  8197 'print_locale!' to have them included in the output.
  8198 
  8199 
  8200 *** Provers ***
  8201 
  8202 * Provers/hypsubst.ML: improved version of the subst method, for
  8203 single-step rewriting: it now works in bound variable contexts. New is
  8204 'subst (asm)', for rewriting an assumption.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may
  8205 rewrite a different subterm than the original subst method, which is
  8206 still available as 'simplesubst'.
  8207 
  8208 * Provers/quasi.ML: new transitivity reasoners for transitivity only
  8209 and quasi orders.
  8210 
  8211 * Provers/trancl.ML: new transitivity reasoner for transitive and
  8212 reflexive-transitive closure of relations.
  8213 
  8214 * Provers/blast.ML: new reference depth_limit to make blast's depth
  8215 limit (previously hard-coded with a value of 20) user-definable.
  8216 
  8217 * Provers/simplifier.ML has been moved to Pure, where Simplifier.setup
  8218 is peformed already.  Object-logics merely need to finish their
  8219 initial simpset configuration as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8220 
  8221 
  8222 *** HOL ***
  8223 
  8224 * Symbolic syntax of Hilbert Choice Operator is now as follows:
  8225 
  8226   syntax (epsilon)
  8227     "_Eps" :: "[pttrn, bool] => 'a"    ("(3\<some>_./ _)" [0, 10] 10)
  8228 
  8229 The symbol \<some> is displayed as the alternative epsilon of LaTeX
  8230 and x-symbol; use option '-m epsilon' to get it actually printed.
  8231 Moreover, the mathematically important symbolic identifier \<epsilon>
  8232 becomes available as variable, constant etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  8233 
  8234 * "x > y" abbreviates "y < x" and "x >= y" abbreviates "y <= x".
  8235 Similarly for all quantifiers: "ALL x > y" etc.  The x-symbol for >=
  8236 is \<ge>. New transitivity rules have been added to HOL/Orderings.thy to
  8237 support corresponding Isar calculations.
  8238 
  8239 * "{x:A. P}" abbreviates "{x. x:A & P}", and similarly for "\<in>"
  8240 instead of ":".
  8241 
  8242 * theory SetInterval: changed the syntax for open intervals:
  8243 
  8244   Old       New
  8245   {..n(}    {..<n}
  8246   {)n..}    {n<..}
  8247   {m..n(}   {m..<n}
  8248   {)m..n}   {m<..n}
  8249   {)m..n(}  {m<..<n}
  8250 
  8251 The old syntax is still supported but will disappear in the next
  8252 release.  For conversion use the following Emacs search and replace
  8253 patterns (these are not perfect but work quite well):
  8254 
  8255   {)\([^\.]*\)\.\.  ->  {\1<\.\.}
  8256   \.\.\([^(}]*\)(}  ->  \.\.<\1}
  8257 
  8258 * Theory Commutative_Ring (in Library): method comm_ring for proving
  8259 equalities in commutative rings; method 'algebra' provides a generic
  8260 interface.
  8261 
  8262 * Theory Finite_Set: changed the syntax for 'setsum', summation over
  8263 finite sets: "setsum (%x. e) A", which used to be "\<Sum>x:A. e", is
  8264 now either "SUM x:A. e" or "\<Sum>x \<in> A. e". The bound variable can
  8265 be a tuple pattern.
  8266 
  8267 Some new syntax forms are available:
  8268 
  8269   "\<Sum>x | P. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {x. P}"
  8270   "\<Sum>x = a..b. e"   for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..b}"
  8271   "\<Sum>x = a..<b. e"  for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..<b}"
  8272   "\<Sum>x < k. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {..<k}"
  8273 
  8274 The latter form "\<Sum>x < k. e" used to be based on a separate
  8275 function "Summation", which has been discontinued.
  8276 
  8277 * theory Finite_Set: in structured induction proofs, the insert case
  8278 is now 'case (insert x F)' instead of the old counterintuitive 'case
  8279 (insert F x)'.
  8280 
  8281 * The 'refute' command has been extended to support a much larger
  8282 fragment of HOL, including axiomatic type classes, constdefs and
  8283 typedefs, inductive datatypes and recursion.
  8284 
  8285 * New tactics 'sat' and 'satx' to prove propositional tautologies.
  8286 Requires zChaff with proof generation to be installed.  See
  8287 HOL/ex/SAT_Examples.thy for examples.
  8288 
  8289 * Datatype induction via method 'induct' now preserves the name of the
  8290 induction variable. For example, when proving P(xs::'a list) by
  8291 induction on xs, the induction step is now P(xs) ==> P(a#xs) rather
  8292 than P(list) ==> P(a#list) as previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  8293 in unstructured proof scripts.
  8294 
  8295 * Reworked implementation of records.  Improved scalability for
  8296 records with many fields, avoiding performance problems for type
  8297 inference. Records are no longer composed of nested field types, but
  8298 of nested extension types. Therefore the record type only grows linear
  8299 in the number of extensions and not in the number of fields.  The
  8300 top-level (users) view on records is preserved.  Potential
  8301 INCOMPATIBILITY only in strange cases, where the theory depends on the
  8302 old record representation. The type generated for a record is called
  8303 <record_name>_ext_type.
  8304 
  8305 Flag record_quick_and_dirty_sensitive can be enabled to skip the
  8306 proofs triggered by a record definition or a simproc (if
  8307 quick_and_dirty is enabled).  Definitions of large records can take
  8308 quite long.
  8309 
  8310 New simproc record_upd_simproc for simplification of multiple record
  8311 updates enabled by default.  Moreover, trivial updates are also
  8312 removed: r(|x := x r|) = r.  INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break
  8313 occasionally, since simplification is more powerful by default.
  8314 
  8315 * typedef: proper support for polymorphic sets, which contain extra
  8316 type-variables in the term.
  8317 
  8318 * Simplifier: automatically reasons about transitivity chains
  8319 involving "trancl" (r^+) and "rtrancl" (r^*) by setting up tactics
  8320 provided by Provers/trancl.ML as additional solvers.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  8321 old proofs break occasionally as simplification may now solve more
  8322 goals than previously.
  8323 
  8324 * Simplifier: converts x <= y into x = y if assumption y <= x is
  8325 present.  Works for all partial orders (class "order"), in particular
  8326 numbers and sets.  For linear orders (e.g. numbers) it treats ~ x < y
  8327 just like y <= x.
  8328 
  8329 * Simplifier: new simproc for "let x = a in f x".  If a is a free or
  8330 bound variable or a constant then the let is unfolded.  Otherwise
  8331 first a is simplified to b, and then f b is simplified to g. If
  8332 possible we abstract b from g arriving at "let x = b in h x",
  8333 otherwise we unfold the let and arrive at g.  The simproc can be
  8334 enabled/disabled by the reference use_let_simproc.  Potential
  8335 INCOMPATIBILITY since simplification is more powerful by default.
  8336 
  8337 * Classical reasoning: the meson method now accepts theorems as arguments.
  8338 
  8339 * Prover support: pre-release of the Isabelle-ATP linkup, which runs background
  8340 jobs to provide advice on the provability of subgoals.
  8341 
  8342 * Theory OrderedGroup and Ring_and_Field: various additions and
  8343 improvements to faciliate calculations involving equalities and
  8344 inequalities.
  8345 
  8346 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  8347 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8348 
  8349   abs_eq             now named abs_of_nonneg
  8350   abs_of_ge_0        now named abs_of_nonneg
  8351   abs_minus_eq       now named abs_of_nonpos

  8355   mult_pos_le        now named mult_nonneg_nonneg
  8356   mult_pos_neg_le    now named mult_nonneg_nonpos
  8357   mult_pos_neg2_le   now named mult_nonneg_nonpos2
  8358   mult_neg           now named mult_neg_neg
  8359   mult_neg_le        now named mult_nonpos_nonpos
  8360 
  8361 * The following lemmas in Ring_and_Field have been added to the simplifier:
  8362      
  8363      zero_le_square
  8364      not_square_less_zero 
  8365 
  8366   The following lemmas have been deleted from Real/RealPow:
  8367   
  8368      realpow_zero_zero
  8369      realpow_two
  8370      realpow_less
  8371      zero_le_power
  8372      realpow_two_le
  8373      abs_realpow_two
  8374      realpow_two_abs     
  8375 
  8376 * Theory Parity: added rules for simplifying exponents.
  8377 
  8378 * Theory List:
  8379 
  8380 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  8381 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8382 
  8383   list_all_Nil       now named list_all.simps(1)
  8384   list_all_Cons      now named list_all.simps(2)
  8385   list_all_conv      now named list_all_iff
  8386   set_mem_eq         now named mem_iff
  8387 
  8388 * Theories SetsAndFunctions and BigO (see HOL/Library) support
  8389 asymptotic "big O" calculations.  See the notes in BigO.thy.
  8390 
  8391 
  8392 *** HOL-Complex ***
  8393 
  8394 * Theory RealDef: better support for embedding natural numbers and
  8395 integers in the reals.
  8396 
  8397 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  8398 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8399 
  8400   exp_ge_add_one_self  now requires no hypotheses
  8401   real_of_int_add      reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8402   real_of_int_minus    reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8403   real_of_int_diff     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8404   real_of_int_mult     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8405 
  8406 * Theory RComplete: expanded support for floor and ceiling functions.
  8407 
  8408 * Theory Ln is new, with properties of the natural logarithm
  8409 
  8410 * Hyperreal: There is a new type constructor "star" for making
  8411 nonstandard types.  The old type names are now type synonyms:
  8412 
  8413   hypreal = real star
  8414   hypnat = nat star
  8415   hcomplex = complex star
  8416 
  8417 * Hyperreal: Many groups of similarly-defined constants have been
  8418 replaced by polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8419

  8432   InternalFuns <-- InternalNatFuns, InternalNatFuns2, Internal{C,RC,CR}Funs
  8433 
  8434 * Hyperreal: Many type-specific theorems have been removed in favor of
  8435 theorems specific to various axiomatic type classes (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  8460   add_nonneg_nonneg <-- hypreal_le_add_order
  8461 
  8462 * Hyperreal: Separate theorems having to do with type-specific
  8463 versions of constants have been merged into theorems that apply to the
  8464 new polymorphic constants (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8465 
  8466   STAR_UNIV_set <-- {STAR_real,NatStar_real,STARC_complex}_set
  8467   STAR_empty_set <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_empty_set

  8554 
  8555 * Hyperreal: new method "transfer" that implements the transfer
  8556 principle of nonstandard analysis. With a subgoal that mentions
  8557 nonstandard types like "'a star", the command "apply transfer"
  8558 replaces it with an equivalent one that mentions only standard types.
  8559 To be successful, all free variables must have standard types; non-
  8560 standard variables must have explicit universal quantifiers.
  8561 
  8562 * Hyperreal: A theory of Taylor series.
  8563 
  8564 
  8565 *** HOLCF ***
  8566 
  8567 * Discontinued special version of 'constdefs' (which used to support
  8568 continuous functions) in favor of the general Pure one with full
  8569 type-inference.
  8570 
  8571 * New simplification procedure for solving continuity conditions; it
  8572 is much faster on terms with many nested lambda abstractions (cubic
  8573 instead of exponential time).
  8574 
  8575 * New syntax for domain package: selector names are now optional.
  8576 Parentheses should be omitted unless argument is lazy, for example:
  8577 
  8578   domain 'a stream = cons "'a" (lazy "'a stream")
  8579 
  8580 * New command 'fixrec' for defining recursive functions with pattern
  8581 matching; defining multiple functions with mutual recursion is also
  8582 supported.  Patterns may include the constants cpair, spair, up, sinl,
  8583 sinr, or any data constructor defined by the domain package. The given
  8584 equations are proven as rewrite rules. See HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  8585 syntax and examples.
  8586 
  8587 * New commands 'cpodef' and 'pcpodef' for defining predicate subtypes
  8588 of cpo and pcpo types. Syntax is exactly like the 'typedef' command,
  8589 but the proof obligation additionally includes an admissibility
  8590 requirement. The packages generate instances of class cpo or pcpo,
  8591 with continuity and strictness theorems for Rep and Abs.
  8592 
  8593 * HOLCF: Many theorems have been renamed according to a more standard naming
  8594 scheme (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8595 
  8596   foo_inject:  "foo$x = foo$y ==> x = y"
  8597   foo_eq:      "(foo$x = foo$y) = (x = y)"
  8598   foo_less:    "(foo$x << foo$y) = (x << y)"
  8599   foo_strict:  "foo$UU = UU"
  8600   foo_defined: "... ==> foo$x ~= UU"
  8601   foo_defined_iff: "(foo$x = UU) = (x = UU)"
  8602 
  8603 
  8604 *** ZF ***
  8605 
  8606 * ZF/ex: theories Group and Ring provide examples in abstract algebra,
  8607 including the First Isomorphism Theorem (on quotienting by the kernel
  8608 of a homomorphism).
  8609 
  8610 * ZF/Simplifier: install second copy of type solver that actually
  8611 makes use of TC rules declared to Isar proof contexts (or locales);
  8612 the old version is still required for ML proof scripts.
  8613 
  8614 
  8615 *** Cube ***
  8616 
  8617 * Converted to Isar theory format; use locales instead of axiomatic
  8618 theories.
  8619 
  8620 
  8621 *** ML ***
  8622 
  8623 * Pure/library.ML: added ##>, ##>>, #>> -- higher-order counterparts
  8624 for ||>, ||>>, |>>,
  8625 
  8626 * Pure/library.ML no longer defines its own option datatype, but uses
  8627 that of the SML basis, which has constructors NONE and SOME instead of
  8628 None and Some, as well as exception Option.Option instead of OPTION.
  8629 The functions the, if_none, is_some, is_none have been adapted
  8630 accordingly, while Option.map replaces apsome.
  8631 
  8632 * Pure/library.ML: the exception LIST has been given up in favour of
  8633 the standard exceptions Empty and Subscript, as well as
  8634 Library.UnequalLengths.  Function like Library.hd and Library.tl are
  8635 superceded by the standard hd and tl functions etc.
  8636 
  8637 A number of basic list functions are no longer exported to the ML
  8638 toplevel, as they are variants of predefined functions.  The following
  8639 suggests how one can translate existing code:
  8640 
  8641     rev_append xs ys = List.revAppend (xs, ys)
  8642     nth_elem (i, xs) = List.nth (xs, i)
  8643     last_elem xs = List.last xs
  8644     flat xss = List.concat xss
  8645     seq fs = List.app fs
  8646     partition P xs = List.partition P xs
  8647     mapfilter f xs = List.mapPartial f xs
  8648 
  8649 * Pure/library.ML: several combinators for linear functional
  8650 transformations, notably reverse application and composition:
  8651 
  8652   x |> f                f #> g
  8653   (x, y) |-> f          f #-> g
  8654 
  8655 * Pure/library.ML: introduced/changed precedence of infix operators:
  8656 
  8657   infix 1 |> |-> ||> ||>> |>> |>>> #> #->;
  8658   infix 2 ?;
  8659   infix 3 o oo ooo oooo;
  8660   infix 4 ~~ upto downto;
  8661 
  8662 Maybe INCOMPATIBILITY when any of those is used in conjunction with other
  8663 infix operators.
  8664 
  8665 * Pure/library.ML: natural list combinators fold, fold_rev, and
  8666 fold_map support linear functional transformations and nesting.  For
  8667 example:
  8668 
  8669   fold f [x1, ..., xN] y =
  8670     y |> f x1 |> ... |> f xN
  8671 
  8672   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] y =
  8673     y |> fold f xs1 |> ... |> fold f xsN
  8674 
  8675   fold f [x1, ..., xN] =
  8676     f x1 #> ... #> f xN
  8677 
  8678   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] =
  8679     fold f xs1 #> ... #> fold f xsN
  8680 
  8681 * Pure/library.ML: the following selectors on type 'a option are
  8682 available:
  8683 
  8684   the:               'a option -> 'a  (*partial*)
  8685   these:             'a option -> 'a  where 'a = 'b list
  8686   the_default: 'a -> 'a option -> 'a
  8687   the_list:          'a option -> 'a list
  8688 
  8689 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  8690 basic operations for association lists, following natural argument
  8691 order; moreover the explicit equality predicate passed here avoids
  8692 potentially expensive polymorphic runtime equality checks.
  8693 The old functions may be expressed as follows:
  8694 
  8695   assoc = uncurry (AList.lookup (op =))
  8696   assocs = these oo AList.lookup (op =)
  8697   overwrite = uncurry (AList.update (op =)) o swap
  8698 
  8699 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  8700 
  8701   val make: ('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> ('a * 'b) list
  8702   val find: ('a * 'b -> bool) -> ('c * 'b) list -> 'a -> 'c list
  8703 
  8704 replacing make_keylist and keyfilter (occassionally used)
  8705 Naive rewrites:
  8706 
  8707   make_keylist = AList.make
  8708   keyfilter = AList.find (op =)
  8709 
  8710 * eq_fst and eq_snd now take explicit equality parameter, thus
  8711   avoiding eqtypes. Naive rewrites:
  8712 
  8713     eq_fst = eq_fst (op =)
  8714     eq_snd = eq_snd (op =)
  8715 
  8716 * Removed deprecated apl and apr (rarely used).
  8717   Naive rewrites:
  8718 
  8719     apl (n, op) =>>= curry op n
  8720     apr (op, m) =>>= fn n => op (n, m)
  8721 
  8722 * Pure/General: structure OrdList (cf. Pure/General/ord_list.ML)
  8723 provides a reasonably efficient light-weight implementation of sets as
  8724 lists.
  8725 
  8726 * Pure/General: generic tables (cf. Pure/General/table.ML) provide a
  8727 few new operations; existing lookup and update are now curried to
  8728 follow natural argument order (for use with fold etc.);
  8729 INCOMPATIBILITY, use (uncurry Symtab.lookup) etc. as last resort.
  8730 
  8731 * Pure/General: output via the Isabelle channels of
  8732 writeln/warning/error etc. is now passed through Output.output, with a
  8733 hook for arbitrary transformations depending on the print_mode
  8734 (cf. Output.add_mode -- the first active mode that provides a output
  8735 function wins).  Already formatted output may be embedded into further
  8736 text via Output.raw; the result of Pretty.string_of/str_of and derived
  8737 functions (string_of_term/cterm/thm etc.) is already marked raw to
  8738 accommodate easy composition of diagnostic messages etc.  Programmers
  8739 rarely need to care about Output.output or Output.raw at all, with
  8740 some notable exceptions: Output.output is required when bypassing the
  8741 standard channels (writeln etc.), or in token translations to produce
  8742 properly formatted results; Output.raw is required when capturing
  8743 already output material that will eventually be presented to the user
  8744 a second time.  For the default print mode, both Output.output and
  8745 Output.raw have no effect.
  8746 
  8747 * Pure/General: Output.time_accumulator NAME creates an operator ('a
  8748 -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'b to measure runtime and count invocations; the
  8749 cumulative results are displayed at the end of a batch session.
  8750 
  8751 * Pure/General: File.sysify_path and File.quote_sysify path have been
  8752 replaced by File.platform_path and File.shell_path (with appropriate
  8753 hooks).  This provides a clean interface for unusual systems where the
  8754 internal and external process view of file names are different.
  8755 
  8756 * Pure: more efficient orders for basic syntactic entities: added
  8757 fast_string_ord, fast_indexname_ord, fast_term_ord; changed sort_ord
  8758 and typ_ord to use fast_string_ord and fast_indexname_ord (term_ord is
  8759 NOT affected); structures Symtab, Vartab, Typtab, Termtab use the fast
  8760 orders now -- potential INCOMPATIBILITY for code that depends on a
  8761 particular order for Symtab.keys, Symtab.dest, etc. (consider using
  8762 Library.sort_strings on result).
  8763 
  8764 * Pure/term.ML: combinators fold_atyps, fold_aterms, fold_term_types,
  8765 fold_types traverse types/terms from left to right, observing natural
  8766 argument order.  Supercedes previous foldl_XXX versions, add_frees,
  8767 add_vars etc. have been adapted as well: INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8768 
  8769 * Pure: name spaces have been refined, with significant changes of the
  8770 internal interfaces -- INCOMPATIBILITY.  Renamed cond_extern(_table)
  8771 to extern(_table).  The plain name entry path is superceded by a
  8772 general 'naming' context, which also includes the 'policy' to produce
  8773 a fully qualified name and external accesses of a fully qualified
  8774 name; NameSpace.extend is superceded by context dependent
  8775 Sign.declare_name.  Several theory and proof context operations modify
  8776 the naming context.  Especially note Theory.restore_naming and
  8777 ProofContext.restore_naming to get back to a sane state; note that
  8778 Theory.add_path is no longer sufficient to recover from
  8779 Theory.absolute_path in particular.
  8780 
  8781 * Pure: new flags short_names (default false) and unique_names
  8782 (default true) for controlling output of qualified names.  If
  8783 short_names is set, names are printed unqualified.  If unique_names is
  8784 reset, the name prefix is reduced to the minimum required to achieve
  8785 the original result when interning again, even if there is an overlap
  8786 with earlier declarations.
  8787 
  8788 * Pure/TheoryDataFun: change of the argument structure; 'prep_ext' is
  8789 now 'extend', and 'merge' gets an additional Pretty.pp argument
  8790 (useful for printing error messages).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8791 
  8792 * Pure: major reorganization of the theory context.  Type Sign.sg and
  8793 Theory.theory are now identified, referring to the universal
  8794 Context.theory (see Pure/context.ML).  Actual signature and theory
  8795 content is managed as theory data.  The old code and interfaces were
  8796 spread over many files and structures; the new arrangement introduces
  8797 considerable INCOMPATIBILITY to gain more clarity:
  8798 
  8799   Context -- theory management operations (name, identity, inclusion,
  8800     parents, ancestors, merge, etc.), plus generic theory data;
  8801 
  8802   Sign -- logical signature and syntax operations (declaring consts,
  8803     types, etc.), plus certify/read for common entities;
  8804 
  8805   Theory -- logical theory operations (stating axioms, definitions,
  8806     oracles), plus a copy of logical signature operations (consts,
  8807     types, etc.); also a few basic management operations (Theory.copy,
  8808     Theory.merge, etc.)
  8809 
  8810 The most basic sign_of operations (Theory.sign_of, Thm.sign_of_thm
  8811 etc.) as well as the sign field in Thm.rep_thm etc. have been retained
  8812 for convenience -- they merely return the theory.
  8813 
  8814 * Pure: type Type.tsig is superceded by theory in most interfaces.
  8815 
  8816 * Pure: the Isar proof context type is already defined early in Pure
  8817 as Context.proof (note that ProofContext.context and Proof.context are
  8818 aliases, where the latter is the preferred name).  This enables other
  8819 Isabelle components to refer to that type even before Isar is present.
  8820 
  8821 * Pure/sign/theory: discontinued named name spaces (i.e. classK,
  8822 typeK, constK, axiomK, oracleK), but provide explicit operations for
  8823 any of these kinds.  For example, Sign.intern typeK is now
  8824 Sign.intern_type, Theory.hide_space Sign.typeK is now
  8825 Theory.hide_types.  Also note that former
  8826 Theory.hide_classes/types/consts are now
  8827 Theory.hide_classes_i/types_i/consts_i, while the non '_i' versions
  8828 internalize their arguments!  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8829 
  8830 * Pure: get_thm interface (of PureThy and ProofContext) expects
  8831 datatype thmref (with constructors Name and NameSelection) instead of
  8832 plain string -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8833 
  8834 * Pure: cases produced by proof methods specify options, where NONE
  8835 means to remove case bindings -- INCOMPATIBILITY in
  8836 (RAW_)METHOD_CASES.
  8837 
  8838 * Pure: the following operations retrieve axioms or theorems from a
  8839 theory node or theory hierarchy, respectively:
  8840 
  8841   Theory.axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  8842   Theory.all_axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  8843   PureThy.thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  8844   PureThy.all_thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  8845 
  8846 * Pure: print_tac now outputs the goal through the trace channel.
  8847 
  8848 * Isar toplevel: improved diagnostics, mostly for Poly/ML only.
  8849 Reference Toplevel.debug (default false) controls detailed printing
  8850 and tracing of low-level exceptions; Toplevel.profiling (default 0)
  8851 controls execution profiling -- set to 1 for time and 2 for space
  8852 (both increase the runtime).
  8853 
  8854 * Isar session: The initial use of ROOT.ML is now always timed,
  8855 i.e. the log will show the actual process times, in contrast to the
  8856 elapsed wall-clock time that the outer shell wrapper produces.
  8857 
  8858 * Simplifier: improved handling of bound variables (nameless
  8859 representation, avoid allocating new strings).  Simprocs that invoke
  8860 the Simplifier recursively should use Simplifier.inherit_bounds to
  8861 avoid local name clashes.  Failure to do so produces warnings
  8862 "Simplifier: renamed bound variable ..."; set Simplifier.debug_bounds
  8863 for further details.
  8864 
  8865 * ML functions legacy_bindings and use_legacy_bindings produce ML fact
  8866 bindings for all theorems stored within a given theory; this may help
  8867 in porting non-Isar theories to Isar ones, while keeping ML proof
  8868 scripts for the time being.
  8869 
  8870 * ML operator HTML.with_charset specifies the charset begin used for
  8871 generated HTML files.  For example:
  8872 
  8873   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Hebrew";
  8874   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Chinese";
  8875 
  8876 
  8877 *** System ***
  8878 
  8879 * Allow symlinks to all proper Isabelle executables (Isabelle,
  8880 isabelle, isatool etc.).
  8881 
  8882 * ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT setting specifies preferred document format (for
  8883 isatool doc, isatool mkdir, display_drafts etc.).
  8884 
  8885 * isatool usedir: option -f allows specification of the ML file to be
  8886 used by Isabelle; default is ROOT.ML.
  8887 
  8888 * New isatool version outputs the version identifier of the Isabelle
  8889 distribution being used.
  8890 
  8891 * HOL: new isatool dimacs2hol converts files in DIMACS CNF format
  8892 (containing Boolean satisfiability problems) into Isabelle/HOL
  8893 theories.
  8894 
  8895 
  8896 
  8897 New in Isabelle2004 (April 2004)
  8898 --------------------------------
  8899 
  8900 *** General ***
  8901 
  8902 * Provers/order.ML:  new efficient reasoner for partial and linear orders.
  8903   Replaces linorder.ML.
  8904 
  8905 * Pure: Greek letters (except small lambda, \<lambda>), as well as Gothic
  8906   (\<aa>...\<zz>\<AA>...\<ZZ>), calligraphic (\<A>...\<Z>), and Euler
  8907   (\<a>...\<z>), are now considered normal letters, and can therefore
  8908   be used anywhere where an ASCII letter (a...zA...Z) has until
  8909   now. COMPATIBILITY: This obviously changes the parsing of some
  8910   terms, especially where a symbol has been used as a binder, say
  8911   '\<Pi>x. ...', which is now a type error since \<Pi>x will be parsed
  8912   as an identifier.  Fix it by inserting a space around former
  8913   symbols.  Call 'isatool fixgreek' to try to fix parsing errors in
  8914   existing theory and ML files.
  8915 
  8916 * Pure: Macintosh and Windows line-breaks are now allowed in theory files.
  8917 
  8918 * Pure: single letter sub/superscripts (\<^isub> and \<^isup>) are now
  8919   allowed in identifiers. Similar to Greek letters \<^isub> is now considered
  8920   a normal (but invisible) letter. For multiple letter subscripts repeat
  8921   \<^isub> like this: x\<^isub>1\<^isub>2.
  8922 
  8923 * Pure: There are now sub-/superscripts that can span more than one
  8924   character. Text between \<^bsub> and \<^esub> is set in subscript in
  8925   ProofGeneral and LaTeX, text between \<^bsup> and \<^esup> in
  8926   superscript. The new control characters are not identifier parts.
  8927 
  8928 * Pure: Control-symbols of the form \<^raw:...> will literally print the
  8929   content of "..." to the latex file instead of \isacntrl... . The "..."
  8930   may consist of any printable characters excluding the end bracket >.
  8931 
  8932 * Pure: Using new Isar command "finalconsts" (or the ML functions
  8933   Theory.add_finals or Theory.add_finals_i) it is now possible to
  8934   declare constants "final", which prevents their being given a definition
  8935   later.  It is useful for constants whose behaviour is fixed axiomatically
  8936   rather than definitionally, such as the meta-logic connectives.
  8937 
  8938 * Pure: 'instance' now handles general arities with general sorts
  8939   (i.e. intersections of classes),
  8940 
  8941 * Presentation: generated HTML now uses a CSS style sheet to make layout
  8942   (somewhat) independent of content. It is copied from lib/html/isabelle.css.
  8943   It can be changed to alter the colors/layout of generated pages.
  8944 
  8945 
  8946 *** Isar ***
  8947 
  8948 * Tactic emulation methods rule_tac, erule_tac, drule_tac, frule_tac,
  8949   cut_tac, subgoal_tac and thin_tac:
  8950   - Now understand static (Isar) contexts.  As a consequence, users of Isar
  8951     locales are no longer forced to write Isar proof scripts.
  8952     For details see Isar Reference Manual, paragraph 4.3.2: Further tactic
  8953     emulations.
  8954   - INCOMPATIBILITY: names of variables to be instantiated may no
  8955     longer be enclosed in quotes.  Instead, precede variable name with `?'.
  8956     This is consistent with the instantiation attribute "where".
  8957 
  8958 * Attributes "where" and "of":
  8959   - Now take type variables of instantiated theorem into account when reading
  8960     the instantiation string.  This fixes a bug that caused instantiated
  8961     theorems to have too special types in some circumstances.
  8962   - "where" permits explicit instantiations of type variables.
  8963 
  8964 * Calculation commands "moreover" and "also" no longer interfere with
  8965   current facts ("this"), admitting arbitrary combinations with "then"
  8966   and derived forms.
  8967 
  8968 * Locales:
  8969   - Goal statements involving the context element "includes" no longer
  8970     generate theorems with internal delta predicates (those ending on
  8971     "_axioms") in the premise.
  8972     Resolve particular premise with <locale>.intro to obtain old form.
  8973   - Fixed bug in type inference ("unify_frozen") that prevented mix of target
  8974     specification and "includes" elements in goal statement.
  8975   - Rule sets <locale>.intro and <locale>.axioms no longer declared as
  8976     [intro?] and [elim?] (respectively) by default.
  8977   - Experimental command for instantiation of locales in proof contexts:
  8978         instantiate <label>[<attrs>]: <loc>
  8979     Instantiates locale <loc> and adds all its theorems to the current context
  8980     taking into account their attributes.  Label and attrs are optional
  8981     modifiers, like in theorem declarations.  If present, names of
  8982     instantiated theorems are qualified with <label>, and the attributes
  8983     <attrs> are applied after any attributes these theorems might have already.
  8984       If the locale has assumptions, a chained fact of the form
  8985     "<loc> t1 ... tn" is expected from which instantiations of the parameters
  8986     are derived.  The command does not support old-style locales declared
  8987     with "locale (open)".
  8988       A few (very simple) examples can be found in FOL/ex/LocaleInst.thy.
  8989 
  8990 * HOL: Tactic emulation methods induct_tac and case_tac understand static
  8991   (Isar) contexts.
  8992 
  8993 
  8994 *** HOL ***
  8995 
  8996 * Proof import: new image HOL4 contains the imported library from
  8997   the HOL4 system with about 2500 theorems. It is imported by
  8998   replaying proof terms produced by HOL4 in Isabelle. The HOL4 image
  8999   can be used like any other Isabelle image.  See
  9000   HOL/Import/HOL/README for more information.
  9001 
  9002 * Simplifier:
  9003   - Much improved handling of linear and partial orders.
  9004     Reasoners for linear and partial orders are set up for type classes
  9005     "linorder" and "order" respectively, and are added to the default simpset
  9006     as solvers.  This means that the simplifier can build transitivity chains
  9007     to solve goals from the assumptions.
  9008   - INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break occasionally.  Typically, applications
  9009     of blast or auto after simplification become unnecessary because the goal
  9010     is solved by simplification already.
  9011 
  9012 * Numerics: new theory Ring_and_Field contains over 250 basic numerical laws,
  9013     all proved in axiomatic type classes for semirings, rings and fields.
  9014 
  9015 * Numerics:
  9016   - Numeric types (nat, int, and in HOL-Complex rat, real, complex, etc.) are
  9017     now formalized using the Ring_and_Field theory mentioned above.
  9018   - INCOMPATIBILITY: simplification and arithmetic behaves somewhat differently
  9019     than before, because now they are set up once in a generic manner.
  9020   - INCOMPATIBILITY: many type-specific arithmetic laws have gone.
  9021     Look for the general versions in Ring_and_Field (and Power if they concern
  9022     exponentiation).
  9023 
  9024 * Type "rat" of the rational numbers is now available in HOL-Complex.
  9025 
  9026 * Records:
  9027   - Record types are now by default printed with their type abbreviation
  9028     instead of the list of all field types. This can be configured via
  9029     the reference "print_record_type_abbr".
  9030   - Simproc "record_upd_simproc" for simplification of multiple updates added
  9031     (not enabled by default).
  9032   - Simproc "record_ex_sel_eq_simproc" to simplify EX x. sel r = x resp.
  9033     EX x. x = sel r to True (not enabled by default).
  9034   - Tactic "record_split_simp_tac" to split and simplify records added.
  9035 
  9036 * 'specification' command added, allowing for definition by
  9037   specification.  There is also an 'ax_specification' command that
  9038   introduces the new constants axiomatically.
  9039 
  9040 * arith(_tac) is now able to generate counterexamples for reals as well.
  9041 
  9042 * HOL-Algebra: new locale "ring" for non-commutative rings.
  9043 
  9044 * HOL-ex: InductiveInvariant_examples illustrates advanced recursive function
  9045   definitions, thanks to Sava Krsti\'{c} and John Matthews.
  9046 
  9047 * HOL-Matrix: a first theory for matrices in HOL with an application of
  9048   matrix theory to linear programming.
  9049 
  9050 * Unions and Intersections:
  9051   The latex output syntax of UN and INT has been changed
  9052   from "\Union x \in A. B" to "\Union_{x \in A} B"
  9053   i.e. the index formulae has become a subscript.
  9054   Similarly for "\Union x. B", and for \Inter instead of \Union.
  9055 
  9056 * Unions and Intersections over Intervals:
  9057   There is new short syntax "UN i<=n. A" for "UN i:{0..n}. A". There is
  9058   also an x-symbol version with subscripts "\<Union>\<^bsub>i <= n\<^esub>. A"
  9059   like in normal math, and corresponding versions for < and for intersection.
  9060 
  9061 * HOL/List: Ordering "lexico" is renamed "lenlex" and the standard
  9062   lexicographic dictonary ordering has been added as "lexord".
  9063 
  9064 * ML: the legacy theory structures Int and List have been removed. They had
  9065   conflicted with ML Basis Library structures having the same names.
  9066 
  9067 * 'refute' command added to search for (finite) countermodels.  Only works
  9068   for a fragment of HOL.  The installation of an external SAT solver is
  9069   highly recommended.  See "HOL/Refute.thy" for details.
  9070 
  9071 * 'quickcheck' command: Allows to find counterexamples by evaluating
  9072   formulae under an assignment of free variables to random values.
  9073   In contrast to 'refute', it can deal with inductive datatypes,
  9074   but cannot handle quantifiers. See "HOL/ex/Quickcheck_Examples.thy"
  9075   for examples.
  9076 
  9077 
  9078 *** HOLCF ***
  9079 
  9080 * Streams now come with concatenation and are part of the HOLCF image
  9081 
  9082 
  9083 
  9084 New in Isabelle2003 (May 2003)
  9085 ------------------------------
  9086 
  9087 *** General ***
  9088 
  9089 * Provers/simplifier:
  9090 
  9091   - Completely reimplemented method simp (ML: Asm_full_simp_tac):
  9092     Assumptions are now subject to complete mutual simplification,
  9093     not just from left to right. The simplifier now preserves
  9094     the order of assumptions.
  9095 
  9096     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  9097 
  9098     -- simp sometimes diverges where the old version did
  9099        not, e.g. invoking simp on the goal
  9100 
  9101         [| P (f x); y = x; f x = f y |] ==> Q
  9102 
  9103        now gives rise to the infinite reduction sequence
  9104 
  9105         P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> P(f y) --(y = x)--> P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> ...
  9106 
  9107        Using "simp (asm_lr)" (ML: Asm_lr_simp_tac) instead often solves this
  9108        kind of problem.
  9109 
  9110     -- Tactics combining classical reasoner and simplification (such as auto)
  9111        are also affected by this change, because many of them rely on
  9112        simp. They may sometimes diverge as well or yield a different numbers
  9113        of subgoals. Try to use e.g. force, fastsimp, or safe instead of auto
  9114        in case of problems. Sometimes subsequent calls to the classical
  9115        reasoner will fail because a preceeding call to the simplifier too
  9116        eagerly simplified the goal, e.g. deleted redundant premises.
  9117 
  9118   - The simplifier trace now shows the names of the applied rewrite rules
  9119 
  9120   - You can limit the number of recursive invocations of the simplifier
  9121     during conditional rewriting (where the simplifie tries to solve the
  9122     conditions before applying the rewrite rule):
  9123     ML "simp_depth_limit := n"
  9124     where n is an integer. Thus you can force termination where previously
  9125     the simplifier would diverge.
  9126 
  9127   - Accepts free variables as head terms in congruence rules.  Useful in Isar.
  9128 
  9129   - No longer aborts on failed congruence proof.  Instead, the
  9130     congruence is ignored.
  9131 
  9132 * Pure: New generic framework for extracting programs from constructive
  9133   proofs. See HOL/Extraction.thy for an example instantiation, as well
  9134   as HOL/Extraction for some case studies.
  9135 
  9136 * Pure: The main goal of the proof state is no longer shown by default, only
  9137 the subgoals. This behaviour is controlled by a new flag.
  9138    PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Settings -> Show Main Goal
  9139 (ML: Proof.show_main_goal).
  9140 
  9141 * Pure: You can find all matching introduction rules for subgoal 1, i.e. all
  9142 rules whose conclusion matches subgoal 1:
  9143       PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Show me -> matching rules
  9144 The rules are ordered by how closely they match the subgoal.
  9145 In particular, rules that solve a subgoal outright are displayed first
  9146 (or rather last, the way they are printed).
  9147 (ML: ProofGeneral.print_intros())
  9148 
  9149 * Pure: New flag trace_unify_fail causes unification to print
  9150 diagnostic information (PG: in trace buffer) when it fails. This is
  9151 useful for figuring out why single step proofs like rule, erule or
  9152 assumption failed.
  9153 
  9154 * Pure: Locale specifications now produce predicate definitions
  9155 according to the body of text (covering assumptions modulo local
  9156 definitions); predicate "loc_axioms" covers newly introduced text,
  9157 while "loc" is cumulative wrt. all included locale expressions; the
  9158 latter view is presented only on export into the global theory
  9159 context; potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use "(open)" option to fall back
  9160 on the old view without predicates;
  9161 
  9162 * Pure: predefined locales "var" and "struct" are useful for sharing
  9163 parameters (as in CASL, for example); just specify something like
  9164 ``var x + var y + struct M'' as import;
  9165 
  9166 * Pure: improved thms_containing: proper indexing of facts instead of
  9167 raw theorems; check validity of results wrt. current name space;
  9168 include local facts of proof configuration (also covers active
  9169 locales), cover fixed variables in index; may use "_" in term
  9170 specification; an optional limit for the number of printed facts may
  9171 be given (the default is 40);
  9172 
  9173 * Pure: disallow duplicate fact bindings within new-style theory files
  9174 (batch-mode only);
  9175 
  9176 * Provers: improved induct method: assumptions introduced by case
  9177 "foo" are split into "foo.hyps" (from the rule) and "foo.prems" (from
  9178 the goal statement); "foo" still refers to all facts collectively;
  9179 
  9180 * Provers: the function blast.overloaded has been removed: all constants
  9181 are regarded as potentially overloaded, which improves robustness in exchange
  9182 for slight decrease in efficiency;
  9183 
  9184 * Provers/linorder: New generic prover for transitivity reasoning over
  9185 linear orders.  Note: this prover is not efficient!
  9186 
  9187 * Isar: preview of problems to finish 'show' now produce an error
  9188 rather than just a warning (in interactive mode);
  9189 
  9190 
  9191 *** HOL ***
  9192 
  9193 * arith(_tac)
  9194 
  9195  - Produces a counter example if it cannot prove a goal.
  9196    Note that the counter example may be spurious if the goal is not a formula
  9197    of quantifier-free linear arithmetic.
  9198    In ProofGeneral the counter example appears in the trace buffer.
  9199 
  9200  - Knows about div k and mod k where k is a numeral of type nat or int.
  9201 
  9202  - Calls full Presburger arithmetic (by Amine Chaieb) if quantifier-free
  9203    linear arithmetic fails. This takes account of quantifiers and divisibility.
  9204    Presburger arithmetic can also be called explicitly via presburger(_tac).
  9205 
  9206 * simp's arithmetic capabilities have been enhanced a bit: it now
  9207 takes ~= in premises into account (by performing a case split);
  9208 
  9209 * simp reduces "m*(n div m) + n mod m" to n, even if the two summands
  9210 are distributed over a sum of terms;
  9211 
  9212 * New tactic "trans_tac" and method "trans" instantiate
  9213 Provers/linorder.ML for axclasses "order" and "linorder" (predicates
  9214 "<=", "<" and "=").
  9215 
  9216 * function INCOMPATIBILITIES: Pi-sets have been redefined and moved from main
  9217 HOL to Library/FuncSet; constant "Fun.op o" is now called "Fun.comp";
  9218 
  9219 * 'typedef' command has new option "open" to suppress the set
  9220 definition;
  9221 
  9222 * functions Min and Max on finite sets have been introduced (theory
  9223 Finite_Set);
  9224 
  9225 * attribute [symmetric] now works for relations as well; it turns
  9226 (x,y) : R^-1 into (y,x) : R, and vice versa;
  9227 
  9228 * induct over a !!-quantified statement (say !!x1..xn):
  9229   each "case" automatically performs "fix x1 .. xn" with exactly those names.
  9230 
  9231 * Map: `empty' is no longer a constant but a syntactic abbreviation for
  9232 %x. None. Warning: empty_def now refers to the previously hidden definition
  9233 of the empty set.
  9234 
  9235 * Algebra: formalization of classical algebra.  Intended as base for
  9236 any algebraic development in Isabelle.  Currently covers group theory
  9237 (up to Sylow's theorem) and ring theory (Universal Property of
  9238 Univariate Polynomials).  Contributions welcome;
  9239 
  9240 * GroupTheory: deleted, since its material has been moved to Algebra;
  9241 
  9242 * Complex: new directory of the complex numbers with numeric constants,
  9243 nonstandard complex numbers, and some complex analysis, standard and
  9244 nonstandard (Jacques Fleuriot);
  9245 
  9246 * HOL-Complex: new image for analysis, replacing HOL-Real and HOL-Hyperreal;
  9247 
  9248 * Hyperreal: introduced Gauge integration and hyperreal logarithms (Jacques
  9249 Fleuriot);
  9250 
  9251 * Real/HahnBanach: updated and adapted to locales;
  9252 
  9253 * NumberTheory: added Gauss's law of quadratic reciprocity (by Avigad,
  9254 Gray and Kramer);
  9255 
  9256 * UNITY: added the Meier-Sanders theory of progress sets;
  9257 
  9258 * MicroJava: bytecode verifier and lightweight bytecode verifier
  9259 as abstract algorithms, instantiated to the JVM;
  9260 
  9261 * Bali: Java source language formalization. Type system, operational
  9262 semantics, axiomatic semantics. Supported language features:
  9263 classes, interfaces, objects,virtual methods, static methods,
  9264 static/instance fields, arrays, access modifiers, definite
  9265 assignment, exceptions.
  9266 
  9267 
  9268 *** ZF ***
  9269 
  9270 * ZF/Constructible: consistency proof for AC (Gdel's constructible
  9271 universe, etc.);
  9272 
  9273 * Main ZF: virtually all theories converted to new-style format;
  9274 
  9275 
  9276 *** ML ***
  9277 
  9278 * Pure: Tactic.prove provides sane interface for internal proofs;
  9279 omits the infamous "standard" operation, so this is more appropriate
  9280 than prove_goalw_cterm in many situations (e.g. in simprocs);
  9281 
  9282 * Pure: improved error reporting of simprocs;
  9283 
  9284 * Provers: Simplifier.simproc(_i) provides sane interface for setting
  9285 up simprocs;
  9286 
  9287 
  9288 *** Document preparation ***
  9289 
  9290 * uses \par instead of \\ for line breaks in theory text. This may
  9291 shift some page breaks in large documents. To get the old behaviour
  9292 use \renewcommand{\isanewline}{\mbox{}\\\mbox{}} in root.tex.
  9293 
  9294 * minimized dependencies of isabelle.sty and isabellesym.sty on
  9295 other packages
  9296 
  9297 * \<euro> now needs package babel/greek instead of marvosym (which
  9298 broke \Rightarrow)
  9299 
  9300 * normal size for \<zero>...\<nine> (uses \mathbf instead of
  9301 textcomp package)
  9302 
  9303 
  9304 
  9305 New in Isabelle2002 (March 2002)
  9306 --------------------------------
  9307 
  9308 *** Document preparation ***
  9309 
  9310 * greatly simplified document preparation setup, including more
  9311 graceful interpretation of isatool usedir -i/-d/-D options, and more
  9312 instructive isatool mkdir; users should basically be able to get
  9313 started with "isatool mkdir HOL Test && isatool make"; alternatively,
  9314 users may run a separate document processing stage manually like this:
  9315 "isatool usedir -D output HOL Test && isatool document Test/output";
  9316 
  9317 * theory dependency graph may now be incorporated into documents;
  9318 isatool usedir -g true will produce session_graph.eps/.pdf for use
  9319 with \includegraphics of LaTeX;
  9320 
  9321 * proper spacing of consecutive markup elements, especially text
  9322 blocks after section headings;
  9323 
  9324 * support bold style (for single symbols only), input syntax is like
  9325 this: "\<^bold>\<alpha>" or "\<^bold>A";
  9326 
  9327 * \<bullet> is now output as bold \cdot by default, which looks much
  9328 better in printed text;
  9329 
  9330 * added default LaTeX bindings for \<tturnstile> and \<TTurnstile>;
  9331 note that these symbols are currently unavailable in Proof General /
  9332 X-Symbol; new symbols \<zero>, \<one>, ..., \<nine>, and \<euro>;
  9333 
  9334 * isatool latex no longer depends on changed TEXINPUTS, instead
  9335 isatool document copies the Isabelle style files to the target
  9336 location;
  9337 
  9338 
  9339 *** Isar ***
  9340 
  9341 * Pure/Provers: improved proof by cases and induction;
  9342   - 'case' command admits impromptu naming of parameters (such as
  9343     "case (Suc n)");
  9344   - 'induct' method divinates rule instantiation from the inductive
  9345     claim; no longer requires excessive ?P bindings for proper
  9346     instantiation of cases;
  9347   - 'induct' method properly enumerates all possibilities of set/type
  9348     rules; as a consequence facts may be also passed through *type*
  9349     rules without further ado;
  9350   - 'induct' method now derives symbolic cases from the *rulified*
  9351     rule (before it used to rulify cases stemming from the internal
  9352     atomized version); this means that the context of a non-atomic
  9353     statement becomes is included in the hypothesis, avoiding the
  9354     slightly cumbersome show "PROP ?case" form;
  9355   - 'induct' may now use elim-style induction rules without chaining
  9356     facts, using ``missing'' premises from the goal state; this allows
  9357     rules stemming from inductive sets to be applied in unstructured
  9358     scripts, while still benefitting from proper handling of non-atomic
  9359     statements; NB: major inductive premises need to be put first, all
  9360     the rest of the goal is passed through the induction;
  9361   - 'induct' proper support for mutual induction involving non-atomic
  9362     rule statements (uses the new concept of simultaneous goals, see
  9363     below);
  9364   - append all possible rule selections, but only use the first
  9365     success (no backtracking);
  9366   - removed obsolete "(simplified)" and "(stripped)" options of methods;
  9367   - undeclared rule case names default to numbers 1, 2, 3, ...;
  9368   - added 'print_induct_rules' (covered by help item in recent Proof
  9369     General versions);
  9370   - moved induct/cases attributes to Pure, methods to Provers;
  9371   - generic method setup instantiated for FOL and HOL;
  9372 
  9373 * Pure: support multiple simultaneous goal statements, for example
  9374 "have a: A and b: B" (same for 'theorem' etc.); being a pure
  9375 meta-level mechanism, this acts as if several individual goals had
  9376 been stated separately; in particular common proof methods need to be
  9377 repeated in order to cover all claims; note that a single elimination
  9378 step is *not* sufficient to establish the two conjunctions, so this
  9379 fails:
  9380 
  9381   assume "A & B" then have A and B ..   (*".." fails*)
  9382 
  9383 better use "obtain" in situations as above; alternative refer to
  9384 multi-step methods like 'auto', 'simp_all', 'blast+' etc.;
  9385 
  9386 * Pure: proper integration with ``locales''; unlike the original
  9387 version by Florian Kammller, Isar locales package high-level proof
  9388 contexts rather than raw logical ones (e.g. we admit to include
  9389 attributes everywhere); operations on locales include merge and
  9390 rename; support for implicit arguments (``structures''); simultaneous
  9391 type-inference over imports and text; see also HOL/ex/Locales.thy for
  9392 some examples;
  9393 
  9394 * Pure: the following commands have been ``localized'', supporting a
  9395 target locale specification "(in name)": 'lemma', 'theorem',
  9396 'corollary', 'lemmas', 'theorems', 'declare'; the results will be
  9397 stored both within the locale and at the theory level (exported and
  9398 qualified by the locale name);
  9399 
  9400 * Pure: theory goals may now be specified in ``long'' form, with
  9401 ad-hoc contexts consisting of arbitrary locale elements. for example
  9402 ``lemma foo: fixes x assumes "A x" shows "B x"'' (local syntax and
  9403 definitions may be given, too); the result is a meta-level rule with
  9404 the context elements being discharged in the obvious way;
  9405 
  9406 * Pure: new proof command 'using' allows to augment currently used
  9407 facts after a goal statement ('using' is syntactically analogous to
  9408 'apply', but acts on the goal's facts only); this allows chained facts
  9409 to be separated into parts given before and after a claim, as in
  9410 ``from a and b have C using d and e <proof>'';
  9411 
  9412 * Pure: renamed "antecedent" case to "rule_context";
  9413 
  9414 * Pure: new 'judgment' command records explicit information about the
  9415 object-logic embedding (used by several tools internally); no longer
  9416 use hard-wired "Trueprop";
  9417 
  9418 * Pure: added 'corollary' command;
  9419 
  9420 * Pure: fixed 'token_translation' command;
  9421 
  9422 * Pure: removed obsolete 'exported' attribute;
  9423 
  9424 * Pure: dummy pattern "_" in is/let is now automatically lifted over
  9425 bound variables: "ALL x. P x --> Q x" (is "ALL x. _ --> ?C x")
  9426 supersedes more cumbersome ... (is "ALL x. _ x --> ?C x");
  9427 
  9428 * Pure: method 'atomize' presents local goal premises as object-level
  9429 statements (atomic meta-level propositions); setup controlled via
  9430 rewrite rules declarations of 'atomize' attribute; example
  9431 application: 'induct' method with proper rule statements in improper
  9432 proof *scripts*;
  9433 
  9434 * Pure: emulation of instantiation tactics (rule_tac, cut_tac, etc.)
  9435 now consider the syntactic context of assumptions, giving a better
  9436 chance to get type-inference of the arguments right (this is
  9437 especially important for locales);
  9438 
  9439 * Pure: "sorry" no longer requires quick_and_dirty in interactive
  9440 mode;
  9441 
  9442 * Pure/obtain: the formal conclusion "thesis", being marked as
  9443 ``internal'', may no longer be reference directly in the text;
  9444 potential INCOMPATIBILITY, may need to use "?thesis" in rare
  9445 situations;
  9446 
  9447 * Pure: generic 'sym' attribute which declares a rule both as pure
  9448 'elim?' and for the 'symmetric' operation;
  9449 
  9450 * Pure: marginal comments ``--'' may now occur just anywhere in the
  9451 text; the fixed correlation with particular command syntax has been
  9452 discontinued;
  9453 
  9454 * Pure: new method 'rules' is particularly well-suited for proof
  9455 search in intuitionistic logic; a bit slower than 'blast' or 'fast',
  9456 but often produces more compact proof terms with less detours;
  9457 
  9458 * Pure/Provers/classical: simplified integration with pure rule
  9459 attributes and methods; the classical "intro?/elim?/dest?"
  9460 declarations coincide with the pure ones; the "rule" method no longer
  9461 includes classically swapped intros; "intro" and "elim" methods no
  9462 longer pick rules from the context; also got rid of ML declarations
  9463 AddXIs/AddXEs/AddXDs; all of this has some potential for
  9464 INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9465 
  9466 * Provers/classical: attribute 'swapped' produces classical inversions
  9467 of introduction rules;
  9468 
  9469 * Provers/simplifier: 'simplified' attribute may refer to explicit
  9470 rules instead of full simplifier context; 'iff' attribute handles
  9471 conditional rules;
  9472 
  9473 * HOL: 'typedef' now allows alternative names for Rep/Abs morphisms;
  9474 
  9475 * HOL: 'recdef' now fails on unfinished automated proofs, use
  9476 "(permissive)" option to recover old behavior;
  9477 
  9478 * HOL: 'inductive' no longer features separate (collective) attributes
  9479 for 'intros' (was found too confusing);
  9480 
  9481 * HOL: properly declared induction rules less_induct and
  9482 wf_induct_rule;
  9483 
  9484 
  9485 *** HOL ***
  9486 
  9487 * HOL: moved over to sane numeral syntax; the new policy is as
  9488 follows:
  9489 
  9490   - 0 and 1 are polymorphic constants, which are defined on any
  9491   numeric type (nat, int, real etc.);
  9492 
  9493   - 2, 3, 4, ... and -1, -2, -3, ... are polymorphic numerals, based
  9494   binary representation internally;
  9495 
  9496   - type nat has special constructor Suc, and generally prefers Suc 0
  9497   over 1::nat and Suc (Suc 0) over 2::nat;
  9498 
  9499 This change may cause significant problems of INCOMPATIBILITY; here
  9500 are some hints on converting existing sources:
  9501 
  9502   - due to the new "num" token, "-0" and "-1" etc. are now atomic
  9503   entities, so expressions involving "-" (unary or binary minus) need
  9504   to be spaced properly;
  9505 
  9506   - existing occurrences of "1" may need to be constraint "1::nat" or
  9507   even replaced by Suc 0; similar for old "2";
  9508 
  9509   - replace "#nnn" by "nnn", and "#-nnn" by "-nnn";
  9510 
  9511   - remove all special provisions on numerals in proofs;
  9512 
  9513 * HOL: simp rules nat_number expand numerals on nat to Suc/0
  9514 representation (depends on bin_arith_simps in the default context);
  9515 
  9516 * HOL: symbolic syntax for x^2 (numeral 2);
  9517 
  9518 * HOL: the class of all HOL types is now called "type" rather than
  9519 "term"; INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt references to this type class
  9520 in axclass/classes, instance/arities, and (usually rare) occurrences
  9521 in typings (of consts etc.); internally the class is called
  9522 "HOL.type", ML programs should refer to HOLogic.typeS;
  9523 
  9524 * HOL/record package improvements:
  9525   - new derived operations "fields" to build a partial record section,
  9526     "extend" to promote a fixed record to a record scheme, and
  9527     "truncate" for the reverse; cf. theorems "xxx.defs", which are *not*
  9528     declared as simp by default;
  9529   - shared operations ("more", "fields", etc.) now need to be always
  9530     qualified) --- potential INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9531   - removed "make_scheme" operations (use "make" with "extend") --
  9532     INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9533   - removed "more" class (simply use "term") -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9534   - provides cases/induct rules for use with corresponding Isar
  9535     methods (for concrete records, record schemes, concrete more
  9536     parts, and schematic more parts -- in that order);
  9537   - internal definitions directly based on a light-weight abstract
  9538     theory of product types over typedef rather than datatype;
  9539 
  9540 * HOL: generic code generator for generating executable ML code from
  9541 specifications; specific support for HOL constructs such as inductive
  9542 datatypes and sets, as well as recursive functions; can be invoked
  9543 via 'generate_code' theory section;
  9544 
  9545 * HOL: canonical cases/induct rules for n-tuples (n = 3..7);
  9546 
  9547 * HOL: consolidated and renamed several theories.  In particular:
  9548         Ord.thy has been absorbed into HOL.thy
  9549         String.thy has been absorbed into List.thy
  9550 
  9551 * HOL: concrete setsum syntax "\<Sum>i:A. b" == "setsum (%i. b) A"
  9552 (beware of argument permutation!);
  9553 
  9554 * HOL: linorder_less_split superseded by linorder_cases;
  9555 
  9556 * HOL/List: "nodups" renamed to "distinct";
  9557 
  9558 * HOL: added "The" definite description operator; move Hilbert's "Eps"
  9559 to peripheral theory "Hilbert_Choice"; some INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  9560   - Ex_def has changed, now need to use some_eq_ex
  9561 
  9562 * HOL: made split_all_tac safe; EXISTING PROOFS MAY FAIL OR LOOP, so
  9563 in this (rare) case use:
  9564 
  9565   delSWrapper "split_all_tac"
  9566   addSbefore ("unsafe_split_all_tac", unsafe_split_all_tac)
  9567 
  9568 * HOL: added safe wrapper "split_conv_tac" to claset; EXISTING PROOFS
  9569 MAY FAIL;
  9570 
  9571 * HOL: introduced f^n = f o ... o f; warning: due to the limits of
  9572 Isabelle's type classes, ^ on functions and relations has too general
  9573 a domain, namely ('a * 'b) set and 'a => 'b; this means that it may be
  9574 necessary to attach explicit type constraints;
  9575 
  9576 * HOL/Relation: the prefix name of the infix "O" has been changed from
  9577 "comp" to "rel_comp"; INCOMPATIBILITY: a few theorems have been
  9578 renamed accordingly (eg "compI" -> "rel_compI").
  9579 
  9580 * HOL: syntax translations now work properly with numerals and records
  9581 expressions;
  9582 
  9583 * HOL: bounded abstraction now uses syntax "%" / "\<lambda>" instead
  9584 of "lam" -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9585 
  9586 * HOL: got rid of some global declarations (potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  9587 for ML tools): const "()" renamed "Product_Type.Unity", type "unit"
  9588 renamed "Product_Type.unit";
  9589 
  9590 * HOL: renamed rtrancl_into_rtrancl2 to converse_rtrancl_into_rtrancl
  9591 
  9592 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem "optionE" (use "option.exhaust", or
  9593 the "cases" method);
  9594 
  9595 * HOL/GroupTheory: group theory examples including Sylow's theorem (by
  9596 Florian Kammller);
  9597 
  9598 * HOL/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory format; several
  9599 parts turned into readable document, with proper Isar proof texts and
  9600 some explanations (by Gerwin Klein);
  9601 
  9602 * HOL-Real: added Complex_Numbers (by Gertrud Bauer);
  9603 
  9604 * HOL-Hyperreal is now a logic image;
  9605 
  9606 
  9607 *** HOLCF ***
  9608 
  9609 * Isar: consts/constdefs supports mixfix syntax for continuous
  9610 operations;
  9611 
  9612 * Isar: domain package adapted to new-style theory format, e.g. see
  9613 HOLCF/ex/Dnat.thy;
  9614 
  9615 * theory Lift: proper use of rep_datatype lift instead of ML hacks --
  9616 potential INCOMPATIBILITY; now use plain induct_tac instead of former
  9617 lift.induct_tac, always use UU instead of Undef;
  9618 
  9619 * HOLCF/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory;
  9620 
  9621 
  9622 *** ZF ***
  9623 
  9624 * Isar: proper integration of logic-specific tools and packages,
  9625 including theory commands '(co)inductive', '(co)datatype',
  9626 'rep_datatype', 'inductive_cases', as well as methods 'ind_cases',
  9627 'induct_tac', 'case_tac', and 'typecheck' (with attribute 'TC');
  9628 
  9629 * theory Main no longer includes AC; for the Axiom of Choice, base
  9630 your theory on Main_ZFC;
  9631 
  9632 * the integer library now covers quotients and remainders, with many
  9633 laws relating division to addition, multiplication, etc.;
  9634 
  9635 * ZF/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY is now available in ZF, giving a
  9636 typeless version of the formalism;
  9637 
  9638 * ZF/AC, Coind, IMP, Resid: updated and converted to new-style theory
  9639 format;
  9640 
  9641 * ZF/Induct: new directory for examples of inductive definitions,
  9642 including theory Multiset for multiset orderings; converted to
  9643 new-style theory format;
  9644 
  9645 * ZF: many new theorems about lists, ordinals, etc.;
  9646 
  9647 
  9648 *** General ***
  9649 
  9650 * Pure/kernel: meta-level proof terms (by Stefan Berghofer); reference
  9651 variable proof controls level of detail: 0 = no proofs (only oracle
  9652 dependencies), 1 = lemma dependencies, 2 = compact proof terms; see
  9653 also ref manual for further ML interfaces;
  9654 
  9655 * Pure/axclass: removed obsolete ML interface
  9656 goal_subclass/goal_arity;
  9657 
  9658 * Pure/syntax: new token syntax "num" for plain numerals (without "#"
  9659 of "xnum"); potential INCOMPATIBILITY, since -0, -1 etc. are now
  9660 separate tokens, so expressions involving minus need to be spaced
  9661 properly;
  9662 
  9663 * Pure/syntax: support non-oriented infixes, using keyword "infix"
  9664 rather than "infixl" or "infixr";
  9665 
  9666 * Pure/syntax: concrete syntax for dummy type variables admits genuine
  9667 sort constraint specifications in type inference; e.g. "x::_::foo"
  9668 ensures that the type of "x" is of sort "foo" (but not necessarily a
  9669 type variable);
  9670 
  9671 * Pure/syntax: print modes "type_brackets" and "no_type_brackets"
  9672 control output of nested => (types); the default behavior is
  9673 "type_brackets";
  9674 
  9675 * Pure/syntax: builtin parse translation for "_constify" turns valued
  9676 tokens into AST constants;
  9677 
  9678 * Pure/syntax: prefer later declarations of translations and print
  9679 translation functions; potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to reverse
  9680 multiple declarations for same syntax element constant;
  9681 
  9682 * Pure/show_hyps reset by default (in accordance to existing Isar
  9683 practice);
  9684 
  9685 * Provers/classical: renamed addaltern to addafter, addSaltern to
  9686 addSafter;
  9687 
  9688 * Provers/clasimp: ``iff'' declarations now handle conditional rules
  9689 as well;
  9690 
  9691 * system: tested support for MacOS X; should be able to get Isabelle +
  9692 Proof General to work in a plain Terminal after installing Poly/ML
  9693 (e.g. from the Isabelle distribution area) and GNU bash alone
  9694 (e.g. from http://www.apple.com); full X11, XEmacs and X-Symbol
  9695 support requires further installations, e.g. from
  9696 http://fink.sourceforge.net/);
  9697 
  9698 * system: support Poly/ML 4.1.1 (able to manage larger heaps);
  9699 
  9700 * system: reduced base memory usage by Poly/ML (approx. 20 MB instead
  9701 of 40 MB), cf. ML_OPTIONS;
  9702 
  9703 * system: Proof General keywords specification is now part of the
  9704 Isabelle distribution (see etc/isar-keywords.el);
  9705 
  9706 * system: support for persistent Proof General sessions (refrain from
  9707 outdating all loaded theories on startup); user may create writable
  9708 logic images like this: ``isabelle -q HOL Test'';
  9709 
  9710 * system: smart selection of Isabelle process versus Isabelle
  9711 interface, accommodates case-insensitive file systems (e.g. HFS+); may
  9712 run both "isabelle" and "Isabelle" even if file names are badly
  9713 damaged (executable inspects the case of the first letter of its own
  9714 name); added separate "isabelle-process" and "isabelle-interface";
  9715 
  9716 * system: refrain from any attempt at filtering input streams; no
  9717 longer support ``8bit'' encoding of old isabelle font, instead proper
  9718 iso-latin characters may now be used; the related isatools
  9719 "symbolinput" and "nonascii" have disappeared as well;
  9720 
  9721 * system: removed old "xterm" interface (the print modes "xterm" and
  9722 "xterm_color" are still available for direct use in a suitable
  9723 terminal);
  9724 
  9725 
  9726 
  9727 New in Isabelle99-2 (February 2001)
  9728 -----------------------------------
  9729 
  9730 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  9731 
  9732 * HOL: please note that theories in the Library and elsewhere often use the
  9733 new-style (Isar) format; to refer to their theorems in an ML script you must
  9734 bind them to ML identifers by e.g.      val thm_name = thm "thm_name";
  9735 
  9736 * HOL: inductive package no longer splits induction rule aggressively,
  9737 but only as far as specified by the introductions given; the old
  9738 format may be recovered via ML function complete_split_rule or attribute
  9739 'split_rule (complete)';
  9740 
  9741 * HOL: induct renamed to lfp_induct, lfp_Tarski to lfp_unfold,
  9742 gfp_Tarski to gfp_unfold;
  9743 
  9744 * HOL: contrapos, contrapos2 renamed to contrapos_nn, contrapos_pp;
  9745 
  9746 * HOL: infix "dvd" now has priority 50 rather than 70 (because it is a
  9747 relation); infix "^^" has been renamed "``"; infix "``" has been
  9748 renamed "`"; "univalent" has been renamed "single_valued";
  9749 
  9750 * HOL/Real: "rinv" and "hrinv" replaced by overloaded "inverse"
  9751 operation;
  9752 
  9753 * HOLCF: infix "`" has been renamed "$"; the symbol syntax is \<cdot>;
  9754 
  9755 * Isar: 'obtain' no longer declares "that" fact as simp/intro;
  9756 
  9757 * Isar/HOL: method 'induct' now handles non-atomic goals; as a
  9758 consequence, it is no longer monotonic wrt. the local goal context
  9759 (which is now passed through the inductive cases);
  9760 
  9761 * Document preparation: renamed standard symbols \<ll> to \<lless> and
  9762 \<gg> to \<ggreater>;
  9763 
  9764 
  9765 *** Document preparation ***
  9766 
  9767 * \isabellestyle{NAME} selects version of Isabelle output (currently
  9768 available: are "it" for near math-mode best-style output, "sl" for
  9769 slanted text style, and "tt" for plain type-writer; if no
  9770 \isabellestyle command is given, output is according to slanted
  9771 type-writer);
  9772 
  9773 * support sub/super scripts (for single symbols only), input syntax is
  9774 like this: "A\<^sup>*" or "A\<^sup>\<star>";
  9775 
  9776 * some more standard symbols; see Appendix A of the system manual for
  9777 the complete list of symbols defined in isabellesym.sty;
  9778 
  9779 * improved isabelle style files; more abstract symbol implementation
  9780 (should now use \isamath{...} and \isatext{...} in custom symbol
  9781 definitions);
  9782 
  9783 * antiquotation @{goals} and @{subgoals} for output of *dynamic* goals
  9784 state; Note that presentation of goal states does not conform to
  9785 actual human-readable proof documents.  Please do not include goal
  9786 states into document output unless you really know what you are doing!
  9787 
  9788 * proper indentation of antiquoted output with proportional LaTeX
  9789 fonts;
  9790 
  9791 * no_document ML operator temporarily disables LaTeX document
  9792 generation;
  9793 
  9794 * isatool unsymbolize tunes sources for plain ASCII communication;
  9795 
  9796 
  9797 *** Isar ***
  9798 
  9799 * Pure: Isar now suffers initial goal statements to contain unbound
  9800 schematic variables (this does not conform to actual readable proof
  9801 documents, due to unpredictable outcome and non-compositional proof
  9802 checking); users who know what they are doing may use schematic goals
  9803 for Prolog-style synthesis of proven results;
  9804 
  9805 * Pure: assumption method (an implicit finishing) now handles actual
  9806 rules as well;
  9807 
  9808 * Pure: improved 'obtain' --- moved to Pure, insert "that" into
  9809 initial goal, declare "that" only as Pure intro (only for single
  9810 steps); the "that" rule assumption may now be involved in implicit
  9811 finishing, thus ".." becomes a feasible for trivial obtains;
  9812 
  9813 * Pure: default proof step now includes 'intro_classes'; thus trivial
  9814 instance proofs may be performed by "..";
  9815 
  9816 * Pure: ?thesis / ?this / "..." now work for pure meta-level
  9817 statements as well;
  9818 
  9819 * Pure: more robust selection of calculational rules;
  9820 
  9821 * Pure: the builtin notion of 'finished' goal now includes the ==-refl
  9822 rule (as well as the assumption rule);
  9823 
  9824 * Pure: 'thm_deps' command visualizes dependencies of theorems and
  9825 lemmas, using the graph browser tool;
  9826 
  9827 * Pure: predict failure of "show" in interactive mode;
  9828 
  9829 * Pure: 'thms_containing' now takes actual terms as arguments;
  9830 
  9831 * HOL: improved method 'induct' --- now handles non-atomic goals
  9832 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY); tuned error handling;
  9833 
  9834 * HOL: cases and induct rules now provide explicit hints about the
  9835 number of facts to be consumed (0 for "type" and 1 for "set" rules);
  9836 any remaining facts are inserted into the goal verbatim;
  9837 
  9838 * HOL: local contexts (aka cases) may now contain term bindings as
  9839 well; the 'cases' and 'induct' methods new provide a ?case binding for
  9840 the result to be shown in each case;
  9841 
  9842 * HOL: added 'recdef_tc' command;
  9843 
  9844 * isatool convert assists in eliminating legacy ML scripts;
  9845 
  9846 
  9847 *** HOL ***
  9848 
  9849 * HOL/Library: a collection of generic theories to be used together
  9850 with main HOL; the theory loader path already includes this directory
  9851 by default; the following existing theories have been moved here:
  9852 HOL/Induct/Multiset, HOL/Induct/Acc (as Accessible_Part), HOL/While
  9853 (as While_Combinator), HOL/Lex/Prefix (as List_Prefix);
  9854 
  9855 * HOL/Unix: "Some aspects of Unix file-system security", a typical
  9856 modelling and verification task performed in Isabelle/HOL +
  9857 Isabelle/Isar + Isabelle document preparation (by Markus Wenzel).
  9858 
  9859 * HOL/Algebra: special summation operator SUM no longer exists, it has
  9860 been replaced by setsum; infix 'assoc' now has priority 50 (like
  9861 'dvd'); axiom 'one_not_zero' has been moved from axclass 'ring' to
  9862 'domain', this makes the theory consistent with mathematical
  9863 literature;
  9864 
  9865 * HOL basics: added overloaded operations "inverse" and "divide"
  9866 (infix "/"), syntax for generic "abs" operation, generic summation
  9867 operator \<Sum>;
  9868 
  9869 * HOL/typedef: simplified package, provide more useful rules (see also
  9870 HOL/subset.thy);
  9871 
  9872 * HOL/datatype: induction rule for arbitrarily branching datatypes is
  9873 now expressed as a proper nested rule (old-style tactic scripts may
  9874 require atomize_strip_tac to cope with non-atomic premises);
  9875 
  9876 * HOL: renamed theory "Prod" to "Product_Type", renamed "split" rule
  9877 to "split_conv" (old name still available for compatibility);
  9878 
  9879 * HOL: improved concrete syntax for strings (e.g. allows translation
  9880 rules with string literals);
  9881 
  9882 * HOL-Real-Hyperreal: this extends HOL-Real with the hyperreals
  9883  and Fleuriot's mechanization of analysis, including the transcendental
  9884  functions for the reals;
  9885 
  9886 * HOL/Real, HOL/Hyperreal: improved arithmetic simplification;
  9887 
  9888 
  9889 *** CTT ***
  9890 
  9891 * CTT: x-symbol support for Pi, Sigma, -->, : (membership); note that
  9892 "lam" is displayed as TWO lambda-symbols
  9893 
  9894 * CTT: theory Main now available, containing everything (that is, Bool
  9895 and Arith);
  9896 
  9897 
  9898 *** General ***
  9899 
  9900 * Pure: the Simplifier has been implemented properly as a derived rule
  9901 outside of the actual kernel (at last!); the overall performance
  9902 penalty in practical applications is about 50%, while reliability of
  9903 the Isabelle inference kernel has been greatly improved;
  9904 
  9905 * print modes "brackets" and "no_brackets" control output of nested =>
  9906 (types) and ==> (props); the default behaviour is "brackets";
  9907 
  9908 * Provers: fast_tac (and friends) now handle actual object-logic rules
  9909 as assumptions as well;
  9910 
  9911 * system: support Poly/ML 4.0;
  9912 
  9913 * system: isatool install handles KDE version 1 or 2;
  9914 
  9915 
  9916 
  9917 New in Isabelle99-1 (October 2000)
  9918 ----------------------------------
  9919 
  9920 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  9921 
  9922 * HOL: simplification of natural numbers is much changed; to partly
  9923 recover the old behaviour (e.g. to prevent n+n rewriting to #2*n)
  9924 issue the following ML commands:
  9925 
  9926   Delsimprocs Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.cancel_numerals;
  9927   Delsimprocs [Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.combine_numerals];
  9928 
  9929 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions; this is
  9930 controlled by "t.weak_case_cong" for each datatype t;
  9931 
  9932 * HOL: nat_less_induct renamed to less_induct;
  9933 
  9934 * HOL: systematic renaming of the SOME (Eps) rules, may use isatool
  9935 fixsome to patch .thy and .ML sources automatically;
  9936 
  9937   select_equality  -> some_equality
  9938   select_eq_Ex     -> some_eq_ex
  9939   selectI2EX       -> someI2_ex
  9940   selectI2         -> someI2
  9941   selectI          -> someI
  9942   select1_equality -> some1_equality
  9943   Eps_sym_eq       -> some_sym_eq_trivial
  9944   Eps_eq           -> some_eq_trivial
  9945 
  9946 * HOL: exhaust_tac on datatypes superceded by new generic case_tac;
  9947 
  9948 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem binding expand_if (refer to split_if
  9949 instead);
  9950 
  9951 * HOL: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' are now called
  9952 f.simps instead of f.rules;
  9953 
  9954 * HOL: qed_spec_mp now also handles bounded ALL as well;
  9955 
  9956 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded, so the type constraint ":: nat" may
  9957 sometimes be needed;
  9958 
  9959 * HOL: the constant for "f``x" is now "image" rather than "op ``";
  9960 
  9961 * HOL: the constant for "f-``x" is now "vimage" rather than "op -``";
  9962 
  9963 * HOL: the disjoint sum is now "<+>" instead of "Plus"; the cartesian
  9964 product is now "<*>" instead of "Times"; the lexicographic product is
  9965 now "<*lex*>" instead of "**";
  9966 
  9967 * HOL: theory Sexp is now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part
  9968 of main HOL, but was unused); better use HOL's datatype package;
  9969 
  9970 * HOL: removed "symbols" syntax for constant "override" of theory Map;
  9971 the old syntax may be recovered as follows:
  9972 
  9973   syntax (symbols)
  9974     override  :: "('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b)"
  9975       (infixl "\\<oplus>" 100)
  9976 
  9977 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
  9978 
  9979 * HOL/ML: even fewer consts are declared as global (see theories Ord,
  9980 Lfp, Gfp, WF); this only affects ML packages that refer to const names
  9981 internally;
  9982 
  9983 * HOL and ZF: syntax for quotienting wrt an equivalence relation
  9984 changed from A/r to A//r;
  9985 
  9986 * ZF: new treatment of arithmetic (nat & int) may break some old
  9987 proofs;
  9988 
  9989 * Isar: renamed some attributes (RS -> THEN, simplify -> simplified,
  9990 rulify -> rule_format, elimify -> elim_format, ...);
  9991 
  9992 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
  9993 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (in most cases, one
  9994 should have to change intro!! to intro? only); replaced "delrule" by
  9995 "rule del";
  9996 
  9997 * Isar/HOL: renamed "intrs" to "intros" in inductive definitions;
  9998 
  9999 * Provers: strengthened force_tac by using new first_best_tac;
 10000 
 10001 * LaTeX document preparation: several changes of isabelle.sty (see
 10002 lib/texinputs);
 10003 
 10004 
 10005 *** Document preparation ***
 10006 
 10007 * formal comments (text blocks etc.) in new-style theories may now
 10008 contain antiquotations of thm/prop/term/typ/text to be presented
 10009 according to latex print mode; concrete syntax is like this:
 10010 @{term[show_types] "f(x) = a + x"};
 10011 
 10012 * isatool mkdir provides easy setup of Isabelle session directories,
 10013 including proper document sources;
 10014 
 10015 * generated LaTeX sources are now deleted after successful run
 10016 (isatool document -c); may retain a copy somewhere else via -D option
 10017 of isatool usedir;
 10018 
 10019 * isatool usedir -D now lets isatool latex -o sty update the Isabelle
 10020 style files, achieving self-contained LaTeX sources and simplifying
 10021 LaTeX debugging;
 10022 
 10023 * old-style theories now produce (crude) LaTeX output as well;
 10024 
 10025 * browser info session directories are now self-contained (may be put
 10026 on WWW server seperately); improved graphs of nested sessions; removed
 10027 graph for 'all sessions';
 10028 
 10029 * several improvements in isabelle style files; \isabellestyle{it}
 10030 produces fake math mode output; \isamarkupheader is now \section by
 10031 default; see lib/texinputs/isabelle.sty etc.;
 10032 
 10033 
 10034 *** Isar ***
 10035 
 10036 * Isar/Pure: local results and corresponding term bindings are now
 10037 subject to Hindley-Milner polymorphism (similar to ML); this
 10038 accommodates incremental type-inference very nicely;
 10039 
 10040 * Isar/Pure: new derived language element 'obtain' supports
 10041 generalized existence reasoning;
 10042 
 10043 * Isar/Pure: new calculational elements 'moreover' and 'ultimately'
 10044 support accumulation of results, without applying any rules yet;
 10045 useful to collect intermediate results without explicit name
 10046 references, and for use with transitivity rules with more than 2
 10047 premises;
 10048 
 10049 * Isar/Pure: scalable support for case-analysis type proofs: new
 10050 'case' language element refers to local contexts symbolically, as
 10051 produced by certain proof methods; internally, case names are attached
 10052 to theorems as "tags";
 10053 
 10054 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'hide' removes declarations from
 10055 class/type/const name spaces;
 10056 
 10057 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'defs' supports option "(overloaded)" to
 10058 indicate potential overloading;
 10059 
 10060 * Isar/Pure: changed syntax of local blocks from {{ }} to { };
 10061 
 10062 * Isar/Pure: syntax of sorts made 'inner', i.e. have to write
 10063 "{a,b,c}" instead of {a,b,c};
 10064 
 10065 * Isar/Pure now provides its own version of intro/elim/dest
 10066 attributes; useful for building new logics, but beware of confusion
 10067 with the version in Provers/classical;
 10068 
 10069 * Isar/Pure: the local context of (non-atomic) goals is provided via
 10070 case name 'antecedent';
 10071 
 10072 * Isar/Pure: removed obsolete 'transfer' attribute (transfer of thms
 10073 to the current context is now done automatically);
 10074 
 10075 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'method_setup' provides a simple interface
 10076 for definining proof methods in ML;
 10077 
 10078 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
 10079 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (INCOMPATIBILITY, in
 10080 most cases, one should have to change intro!! to intro? only);
 10081 replaced "delrule" by "rule del";
 10082 
 10083 * Isar/Provers: new 'hypsubst' method, plain 'subst' method and
 10084 'symmetric' attribute (the latter supercedes [RS sym]);
 10085 
 10086 * Isar/Provers: splitter support (via 'split' attribute and 'simp'
 10087 method modifier); 'simp' method: 'only:' modifier removes loopers as
 10088 well (including splits);
 10089 
 10090 * Isar/Provers: Simplifier and Classical methods now support all kind
 10091 of modifiers used in the past, including 'cong', 'iff', etc.
 10092 
 10093 * Isar/Provers: added 'fastsimp' and 'clarsimp' methods (combination
 10094 of Simplifier and Classical reasoner);
 10095 
 10096 * Isar/HOL: new proof method 'cases' and improved version of 'induct'
 10097 now support named cases; major packages (inductive, datatype, primrec,
 10098 recdef) support case names and properly name parameters;
 10099 
 10100 * Isar/HOL: new transitivity rules for substitution in inequalities --
 10101 monotonicity conditions are extracted to be proven at end of
 10102 calculations;
 10103 
 10104 * Isar/HOL: removed 'case_split' thm binding, should use 'cases' proof
 10105 method anyway;
 10106 
 10107 * Isar/HOL: removed old expand_if = split_if; theorems if_splits =
 10108 split_if split_if_asm; datatype package provides theorems foo.splits =
 10109 foo.split foo.split_asm for each datatype;
 10110 
 10111 * Isar/HOL: tuned inductive package, rename "intrs" to "intros"
 10112 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY), emulation of mk_cases feature for proof
 10113 scripts: new 'inductive_cases' command and 'ind_cases' method; (Note:
 10114 use "(cases (simplified))" method in proper proof texts);
 10115 
 10116 * Isar/HOL: added global 'arith_split' attribute for 'arith' method;
 10117 
 10118 * Isar: names of theorems etc. may be natural numbers as well;
 10119 
 10120 * Isar: 'pr' command: optional arguments for goals_limit and
 10121 ProofContext.prems_limit; no longer prints theory contexts, but only
 10122 proof states;
 10123 
 10124 * Isar: diagnostic commands 'pr', 'thm', 'prop', 'term', 'typ' admit
 10125 additional print modes to be specified; e.g. "pr(latex)" will print
 10126 proof state according to the Isabelle LaTeX style;
 10127 
 10128 * Isar: improved support for emulating tactic scripts, including proof
 10129 methods 'rule_tac' etc., 'cut_tac', 'thin_tac', 'subgoal_tac',
 10130 'rename_tac', 'rotate_tac', 'tactic', and 'case_tac' / 'induct_tac'
 10131 (for HOL datatypes);
 10132 
 10133 * Isar: simplified (more robust) goal selection of proof methods: 1st
 10134 goal, all goals, or explicit goal specifier (tactic emulation); thus
 10135 'proof method scripts' have to be in depth-first order;
 10136 
 10137 * Isar: tuned 'let' syntax: replaced 'as' keyword by 'and';
 10138 
 10139 * Isar: removed 'help' command, which hasn't been too helpful anyway;
 10140 should instead use individual commands for printing items
 10141 (print_commands, print_methods etc.);
 10142 
 10143 * Isar: added 'nothing' --- the empty list of theorems;
 10144 
 10145 
 10146 *** HOL ***
 10147 
 10148 * HOL/MicroJava: formalization of a fragment of Java, together with a
 10149 corresponding virtual machine and a specification of its bytecode
 10150 verifier and a lightweight bytecode verifier, including proofs of
 10151 type-safety; by Gerwin Klein, Tobias Nipkow, David von Oheimb, and
 10152 Cornelia Pusch (see also the homepage of project Bali at
 10153 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Bali/);
 10154 
 10155 * HOL/Algebra: new theory of rings and univariate polynomials, by
 10156 Clemens Ballarin;
 10157 
 10158 * HOL/NumberTheory: fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, Chinese
 10159 Remainder Theorem, Fermat/Euler Theorem, Wilson's Theorem, by Thomas M
 10160 Rasmussen;
 10161 
 10162 * HOL/Lattice: fundamental concepts of lattice theory and order
 10163 structures, including duals, properties of bounds versus algebraic
 10164 laws, lattice operations versus set-theoretic ones, the Knaster-Tarski
 10165 Theorem for complete lattices etc.; may also serve as a demonstration
 10166 for abstract algebraic reasoning using axiomatic type classes, and
 10167 mathematics-style proof in Isabelle/Isar; by Markus Wenzel;
 10168 
 10169 * HOL/Prolog: a (bare-bones) implementation of Lambda-Prolog, by David
 10170 von Oheimb;
 10171 
 10172 * HOL/IMPP: extension of IMP with local variables and mutually
 10173 recursive procedures, by David von Oheimb;
 10174 
 10175 * HOL/Lambda: converted into new-style theory and document;
 10176 
 10177 * HOL/ex/Multiquote: example of multiple nested quotations and
 10178 anti-quotations -- basically a generalized version of de-Bruijn
 10179 representation; very useful in avoiding lifting of operations;
 10180 
 10181 * HOL/record: added general record equality rule to simpset; fixed
 10182 select-update simplification procedure to handle extended records as
 10183 well; admit "r" as field name;
 10184 
 10185 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded over the new sort "zero", allowing its use with
 10186 other numeric types and also as the identity of groups, rings, etc.;
 10187 
 10188 * HOL: new axclass plus_ac0 for addition with the AC-laws and 0 as identity.
 10189 Types nat and int belong to this axclass;
 10190 
 10191 * HOL: greatly improved simplification involving numerals of type nat, int, real:
 10192    (i + #8 + j) = Suc k simplifies to  #7 + (i + j) = k
 10193    i*j + k + j*#3*i     simplifies to  #4*(i*j) + k
 10194   two terms #m*u and #n*u are replaced by #(m+n)*u
 10195     (where #m, #n and u can implicitly be 1; this is simproc combine_numerals)
 10196   and the term/formula #m*u+x ~~ #n*u+y simplifies simplifies to #(m-n)+x ~~ y
 10197     or x ~~ #(n-m)+y, where ~~ is one of = < <= or - (simproc cancel_numerals);
 10198 
 10199 * HOL: meson_tac is available (previously in ex/meson.ML); it is a
 10200 powerful prover for predicate logic but knows nothing of clasets; see
 10201 ex/mesontest.ML and ex/mesontest2.ML for example applications;
 10202 
 10203 * HOL: new version of "case_tac" subsumes both boolean case split and
 10204 "exhaust_tac" on datatypes; INCOMPATIBILITY: exhaust_tac no longer
 10205 exists, may define val exhaust_tac = case_tac for ad-hoc portability;
 10206 
 10207 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions: only the
 10208 selector expression is simplified, but not the remaining arms; to
 10209 enable full simplification of case-expressions for datatype t, you may
 10210 remove t.weak_case_cong from the simpset, either globally (Delcongs
 10211 [thm"t.weak_case_cong"];) or locally (delcongs [...]).
 10212 
 10213 * HOL/recdef: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' for
 10214 function 'f' are now called f.simps instead of f.rules; if all
 10215 termination conditions are proved automatically, these simplification
 10216 rules are added to the simpset, as in primrec; rules may be named
 10217 individually as well, resulting in a separate list of theorems for
 10218 each equation;
 10219 
 10220 * HOL/While is a new theory that provides a while-combinator. It
 10221 permits the definition of tail-recursive functions without the
 10222 provision of a termination measure. The latter is necessary once the
 10223 invariant proof rule for while is applied.
 10224 
 10225 * HOL: new (overloaded) notation for the set of elements below/above
 10226 some element: {..u}, {..u(}, {l..}, {)l..}. See theory SetInterval.
 10227 
 10228 * HOL: theorems impI, allI, ballI bound as "strip";
 10229 
 10230 * HOL: new tactic induct_thm_tac: thm -> string -> int -> tactic
 10231 induct_tac th "x1 ... xn" expects th to have a conclusion of the form
 10232 P v1 ... vn and abbreviates res_inst_tac [("v1","x1"),...,("vn","xn")] th;
 10233 
 10234 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
 10235 
 10236 * HOL: theory Sexp now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part of
 10237 main HOL, but was unused);
 10238 
 10239 * HOL: fewer consts declared as global (e.g. have to refer to
 10240 "Lfp.lfp" instead of "lfp" internally; affects ML packages only);
 10241 
 10242 * HOL: tuned AST representation of nested pairs, avoiding bogus output
 10243 in case of overlap with user translations (e.g. judgements over
 10244 tuples); (note that the underlying logical represenation is still
 10245 bogus);
 10246 
 10247 
 10248 *** ZF ***
 10249 
 10250 * ZF: simplification automatically cancels common terms in arithmetic
 10251 expressions over nat and int;
 10252 
 10253 * ZF: new treatment of nat to minimize type-checking: all operators
 10254 coerce their operands to a natural number using the function natify,
 10255 making the algebraic laws unconditional;
 10256 
 10257 * ZF: as above, for int: operators coerce their operands to an integer
 10258 using the function intify;
 10259 
 10260 * ZF: the integer library now contains many of the usual laws for the
 10261 orderings, including $<=, and monotonicity laws for $+ and $*;
 10262 
 10263 * ZF: new example ZF/ex/NatSum to demonstrate integer arithmetic
 10264 simplification;
 10265 
 10266 * FOL and ZF: AddIffs now available, giving theorems of the form P<->Q
 10267 to the simplifier and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 10268 
 10269 
 10270 *** General ***
 10271 
 10272 * Provers: blast_tac now handles actual object-logic rules as
 10273 assumptions; note that auto_tac uses blast_tac internally as well;
 10274 
 10275 * Provers: new functions rulify/rulify_no_asm: thm -> thm for turning
 10276 outer -->/All/Ball into ==>/!!; qed_spec_mp now uses rulify_no_asm;
 10277 
 10278 * Provers: delrules now handles destruct rules as well (no longer need
 10279 explicit make_elim);
 10280 
 10281 * Provers: Blast_tac now warns of and ignores "weak elimination rules" e.g.
 10282   [| inj ?f;          ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
 10283 use instead the strong form,
 10284   [| inj ?f; ~ ?W ==> ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
 10285 in HOL, FOL and ZF the function cla_make_elim will create such rules
 10286 from destruct-rules;
 10287 
 10288 * Provers: Simplifier.easy_setup provides a fast path to basic
 10289 Simplifier setup for new object-logics;
 10290 
 10291 * Pure: AST translation rules no longer require constant head on LHS;
 10292 
 10293 * Pure: improved name spaces: ambiguous output is qualified; support
 10294 for hiding of names;
 10295 
 10296 * system: smart setup of canonical ML_HOME, ISABELLE_INTERFACE, and
 10297 XSYMBOL_HOME; no longer need to do manual configuration in most
 10298 situations;
 10299 
 10300 * system: compression of ML heaps images may now be controlled via -c
 10301 option of isabelle and isatool usedir (currently only observed by
 10302 Poly/ML);
 10303 
 10304 * system: isatool installfonts may handle X-Symbol fonts as well (very
 10305 useful for remote X11);
 10306 
 10307 * system: provide TAGS file for Isabelle sources;
 10308 
 10309 * ML: infix 'OF' is a version of 'MRS' with more appropriate argument
 10310 order;
 10311 
 10312 * ML: renamed flags Syntax.trace_norm_ast to Syntax.trace_ast; global
 10313 timing flag supersedes proof_timing and Toplevel.trace;
 10314 
 10315 * ML: new combinators |>> and |>>> for incremental transformations
 10316 with secondary results (e.g. certain theory extensions):
 10317 
 10318 * ML: PureThy.add_defs gets additional argument to indicate potential
 10319 overloading (usually false);
 10320 
 10321 * ML: PureThy.add_thms/add_axioms/add_defs now return theorems as
 10322 results;
 10323 
 10324 
 10325 
 10326 New in Isabelle99 (October 1999)
 10327 --------------------------------
 10328 
 10329 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 10330 
 10331 * HOL: The THEN and ELSE parts of conditional expressions (if P then x else y)
 10332 are no longer simplified.  (This allows the simplifier to unfold recursive
 10333 functional programs.)  To restore the old behaviour, declare
 10334 
 10335     Delcongs [if_weak_cong];
 10336 
 10337 * HOL: Removed the obsolete syntax "Compl A"; use -A for set
 10338 complement;
 10339 
 10340 * HOL: the predicate "inj" is now defined by translation to "inj_on";
 10341 
 10342 * HOL/datatype: mutual_induct_tac no longer exists --
 10343   use induct_tac "x_1 ... x_n" instead of mutual_induct_tac ["x_1", ..., "x_n"]
 10344 
 10345 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
 10346 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
 10347 
 10348 * ZF: The con_defs part of an inductive definition may no longer refer
 10349 to constants declared in the same theory;
 10350 
 10351 * HOL, ZF: the function mk_cases, generated by the inductive
 10352 definition package, has lost an argument.  To simplify its result, it
 10353 uses the default simpset instead of a supplied list of theorems.
 10354 
 10355 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
 10356 
 10357 * Simplifier: the type of the infix ML functions
 10358         setSSolver addSSolver setSolver addSolver
 10359 is now  simpset * solver -> simpset  where `solver' is a new abstract type
 10360 for packaging solvers. A solver is created via
 10361         mk_solver: string -> (thm list -> int -> tactic) -> solver
 10362 where the string argument is only a comment.
 10363 
 10364 
 10365 *** Proof tools ***
 10366 
 10367 * Provers/Arith/fast_lin_arith.ML contains a functor for creating a
 10368 decision procedure for linear arithmetic. Currently it is used for
 10369 types `nat', `int', and `real' in HOL (see below); it can, should and
 10370 will be instantiated for other types and logics as well.
 10371 
 10372 * The simplifier now accepts rewrite rules with flexible heads, eg
 10373      hom ?f ==> ?f(?x+?y) = ?f ?x + ?f ?y
 10374   They are applied like any rule with a non-pattern lhs, i.e. by first-order
 10375   matching.
 10376 
 10377 
 10378 *** General ***
 10379 
 10380 * New Isabelle/Isar subsystem provides an alternative to traditional
 10381 tactical theorem proving; together with the ProofGeneral/isar user
 10382 interface it offers an interactive environment for developing human
 10383 readable proof documents (Isar == Intelligible semi-automated
 10384 reasoning); for further information see isatool doc isar-ref,
 10385 src/HOL/Isar_examples and http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Isar/
 10386 
 10387 * improved and simplified presentation of theories: better HTML markup
 10388 (including colors), graph views in several sizes; isatool usedir now
 10389 provides a proper interface for user theories (via -P option); actual
 10390 document preparation based on (PDF)LaTeX is available as well (for
 10391 new-style theories only); see isatool doc system for more information;
 10392 
 10393 * native support for Proof General, both for classic Isabelle and
 10394 Isabelle/Isar;
 10395 
 10396 * ML function thm_deps visualizes dependencies of theorems and lemmas,
 10397 using the graph browser tool;
 10398 
 10399 * Isabelle manuals now also available as PDF;
 10400 
 10401 * theory loader rewritten from scratch (may not be fully
 10402 bug-compatible); old loadpath variable has been replaced by show_path,
 10403 add_path, del_path, reset_path functions; new operations such as
 10404 update_thy, touch_thy, remove_thy, use/update_thy_only (see also
 10405 isatool doc ref);
 10406 
 10407 * improved isatool install: option -k creates KDE application icon,
 10408 option -p DIR installs standalone binaries;
 10409 
 10410 * added ML_PLATFORM setting (useful for cross-platform installations);
 10411 more robust handling of platform specific ML images for SML/NJ;
 10412 
 10413 * the settings environment is now statically scoped, i.e. it is never
 10414 created again in sub-processes invoked from isabelle, isatool, or
 10415 Isabelle;
 10416 
 10417 * path element specification '~~' refers to '$ISABELLE_HOME';
 10418 
 10419 * in locales, the "assumes" and "defines" parts may be omitted if
 10420 empty;
 10421 
 10422 * new print_mode "xsymbols" for extended symbol support (e.g. genuine
 10423 long arrows);
 10424 
 10425 * new print_mode "HTML";
 10426 
 10427 * new flag show_tags controls display of tags of theorems (which are
 10428 basically just comments that may be attached by some tools);
 10429 
 10430 * Isamode 2.6 requires patch to accomodate change of Isabelle font
 10431 mode and goal output format:
 10432 
 10433 diff -r Isamode-2.6/elisp/isa-load.el Isamode/elisp/isa-load.el
 10434 244c244
 10435 <       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-msymbols" logic-name)
 10436 ---
 10437 >       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-misabelle_font" "-msymbols" logic-name)
 10438 diff -r Isabelle-2.6/elisp/isa-proofstate.el Isamode/elisp/isa-proofstate.el
 10439 181c181
 10440 < (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+$"
 10441 ---
 10442 > (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+"
 10443 
 10444 * function bind_thms stores lists of theorems (cf. bind_thm);
 10445 
 10446 * new shorthand tactics ftac, eatac, datac, fatac;
 10447 
 10448 * qed (and friends) now accept "" as result name; in that case the
 10449 theorem is not stored, but proper checks and presentation of the
 10450 result still apply;
 10451 
 10452 * theorem database now also indexes constants "Trueprop", "all",
 10453 "==>", "=="; thus thms_containing, findI etc. may retrieve more rules;
 10454 
 10455 
 10456 *** HOL ***
 10457 
 10458 ** HOL arithmetic **
 10459 
 10460 * There are now decision procedures for linear arithmetic over nat and
 10461 int:
 10462 
 10463 1. arith_tac copes with arbitrary formulae involving `=', `<', `<=',
 10464 `+', `-', `Suc', `min', `max' and numerical constants; other subterms
 10465 are treated as atomic; subformulae not involving type `nat' or `int'
 10466 are ignored; quantified subformulae are ignored unless they are
 10467 positive universal or negative existential. The tactic has to be
 10468 invoked by hand and can be a little bit slow. In particular, the
 10469 running time is exponential in the number of occurrences of `min' and
 10470 `max', and `-' on `nat'.
 10471 
 10472 2. fast_arith_tac is a cut-down version of arith_tac: it only takes
 10473 (negated) (in)equalities among the premises and the conclusion into
 10474 account (i.e. no compound formulae) and does not know about `min' and
 10475 `max', and `-' on `nat'. It is fast and is used automatically by the
 10476 simplifier.
 10477 
 10478 NB: At the moment, these decision procedures do not cope with mixed
 10479 nat/int formulae where the two parts interact, such as `m < n ==>
 10480 int(m) < int(n)'.
 10481 
 10482 * HOL/Numeral provides a generic theory of numerals (encoded
 10483 efficiently as bit strings); setup for types nat/int/real is in place;
 10484 INCOMPATIBILITY: since numeral syntax is now polymorphic, rather than
 10485 int, existing theories and proof scripts may require a few additional
 10486 type constraints;
 10487 
 10488 * integer division and remainder can now be performed on constant
 10489 arguments;
 10490 
 10491 * many properties of integer multiplication, division and remainder
 10492 are now available;
 10493 
 10494 * An interface to the Stanford Validity Checker (SVC) is available through the
 10495 tactic svc_tac.  Propositional tautologies and theorems of linear arithmetic
 10496 are proved automatically.  SVC must be installed separately, and its results
 10497 must be TAKEN ON TRUST (Isabelle does not check the proofs, but tags any
 10498 invocation of the underlying oracle).  For SVC see
 10499   http://verify.stanford.edu/SVC
 10500 
 10501 * IsaMakefile: the HOL-Real target now builds an actual image;
 10502 
 10503 
 10504 ** HOL misc **
 10505 
 10506 * HOL/Real/HahnBanach: the Hahn-Banach theorem for real vector spaces
 10507 (in Isabelle/Isar) -- by Gertrud Bauer;
 10508 
 10509 * HOL/BCV: generic model of bytecode verification, i.e. data-flow
 10510 analysis for assembly languages with subtypes;
 10511 
 10512 * HOL/TLA (Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions): major reorganization
 10513 -- avoids syntactic ambiguities and treats state, transition, and
 10514 temporal levels more uniformly; introduces INCOMPATIBILITIES due to
 10515 changed syntax and (many) tactics;
 10516 
 10517 * HOL/inductive: Now also handles more general introduction rules such
 10518   as "ALL y. (y, x) : r --> y : acc r ==> x : acc r"; monotonicity
 10519   theorems are now maintained within the theory (maintained via the
 10520   "mono" attribute);
 10521 
 10522 * HOL/datatype: Now also handles arbitrarily branching datatypes
 10523   (using function types) such as
 10524 
 10525   datatype 'a tree = Atom 'a | Branch "nat => 'a tree"
 10526 
 10527 * HOL/record: record_simproc (part of the default simpset) takes care
 10528 of selectors applied to updated records; record_split_tac is no longer
 10529 part of the default claset; update_defs may now be removed from the
 10530 simpset in many cases; COMPATIBILITY: old behavior achieved by
 10531 
 10532   claset_ref () := claset() addSWrapper record_split_wrapper;
 10533   Delsimprocs [record_simproc]
 10534 
 10535 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
 10536 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
 10537 
 10538 * HOL/recdef (TFL): 'congs' syntax now expects comma separated list of theorem
 10539 names rather than an ML expression;
 10540 
 10541 * HOL/defer_recdef (TFL): like recdef but the well-founded relation can be
 10542 supplied later.  Program schemes can be defined, such as
 10543     "While B C s = (if B s then While B C (C s) else s)"
 10544 where the well-founded relation can be chosen after B and C have been given.
 10545 
 10546 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
 10547 INCOMPATIBILITY: while [] and infix # syntax is still there, of
 10548 course, ML tools referring to List.list.op # etc. have to be adapted;
 10549 
 10550 * HOL_quantifiers flag superseded by "HOL" print mode, which is
 10551 disabled by default; run isabelle with option -m HOL to get back to
 10552 the original Gordon/HOL-style output;
 10553 
 10554 * HOL/Ord.thy: new bounded quantifier syntax (input only): ALL x<y. P,
 10555 ALL x<=y. P, EX x<y. P, EX x<=y. P;
 10556 
 10557 * HOL basic syntax simplified (more orthogonal): all variants of
 10558 All/Ex now support plain / symbolic / HOL notation; plain syntax for
 10559 Eps operator is provided as well: "SOME x. P[x]";
 10560 
 10561 * HOL/Sum.thy: sum_case has been moved to HOL/Datatype;
 10562 
 10563 * HOL/Univ.thy: infix syntax <*>, <+>, <**>, <+> eliminated and made
 10564 thus available for user theories;
 10565 
 10566 * HOLCF/IOA/Sequents: renamed 'Cons' to 'Consq' to avoid clash with
 10567 HOL/List; hardly an INCOMPATIBILITY since '>>' syntax is used all the
 10568 time;
 10569 
 10570 * HOL: new tactic smp_tac: int -> int -> tactic, which applies spec
 10571 several times and then mp;
 10572 
 10573 
 10574 *** LK ***
 10575 
 10576 * the notation <<...>> is now available as a notation for sequences of
 10577 formulas;
 10578 
 10579 * the simplifier is now installed
 10580 
 10581 * the axiom system has been generalized (thanks to Soren Heilmann)
 10582 
 10583 * the classical reasoner now has a default rule database
 10584 
 10585 
 10586 *** ZF ***
 10587 
 10588 * new primrec section allows primitive recursive functions to be given
 10589 directly (as in HOL) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
 10590 
 10591 * new tactics induct_tac and exhaust_tac for induction (or case
 10592 analysis) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
 10593 
 10594 * the datatype declaration of type T now defines the recursor T_rec;
 10595 
 10596 * simplification automatically does freeness reasoning for datatype
 10597 constructors;
 10598 
 10599 * automatic type-inference, with AddTCs command to insert new
 10600 type-checking rules;
 10601 
 10602 * datatype introduction rules are now added as Safe Introduction rules
 10603 to the claset;
 10604 
 10605 * the syntax "if P then x else y" is now available in addition to
 10606 if(P,x,y);
 10607 
 10608 
 10609 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
 10610 
 10611 * tuned simplifier trace output; new flag debug_simp;
 10612 
 10613 * structures Vartab / Termtab (instances of TableFun) offer efficient
 10614 tables indexed by indexname_ord / term_ord (compatible with aconv);
 10615 
 10616 * AxClass.axclass_tac lost the theory argument;
 10617 
 10618 * tuned current_goals_markers semantics: begin / end goal avoids
 10619 printing empty lines;
 10620 
 10621 * removed prs and prs_fn hook, which was broken because it did not
 10622 include \n in its semantics, forcing writeln to add one
 10623 uncoditionally; replaced prs_fn by writeln_fn; consider std_output:
 10624 string -> unit if you really want to output text without newline;
 10625 
 10626 * Symbol.output subject to print mode; INCOMPATIBILITY: defaults to
 10627 plain output, interface builders may have to enable 'isabelle_font'
 10628 mode to get Isabelle font glyphs as before;
 10629 
 10630 * refined token_translation interface; INCOMPATIBILITY: output length
 10631 now of type real instead of int;
 10632 
 10633 * theory loader actions may be traced via new ThyInfo.add_hook
 10634 interface (see src/Pure/Thy/thy_info.ML); example application: keep
 10635 your own database of information attached to *whole* theories -- as
 10636 opposed to intra-theory data slots offered via TheoryDataFun;
 10637 
 10638 * proper handling of dangling sort hypotheses (at last!);
 10639 Thm.strip_shyps and Drule.strip_shyps_warning take care of removing
 10640 extra sort hypotheses that can be witnessed from the type signature;
 10641 the force_strip_shyps flag is gone, any remaining shyps are simply
 10642 left in the theorem (with a warning issued by strip_shyps_warning);
 10643 
 10644 
 10645 
 10646 New in Isabelle98-1 (October 1998)
 10647 ----------------------------------
 10648 
 10649 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 10650 
 10651 * several changes of automated proof tools;
 10652 
 10653 * HOL: major changes to the inductive and datatype packages, including
 10654 some minor incompatibilities of theory syntax;
 10655 
 10656 * HOL: renamed r^-1 to 'converse' from 'inverse'; 'inj_onto' is now
 10657 called `inj_on';
 10658 
 10659 * HOL: removed duplicate thms in Arith:
 10660   less_imp_add_less  should be replaced by  trans_less_add1
 10661   le_imp_add_le      should be replaced by  trans_le_add1
 10662 
 10663 * HOL: unary minus is now overloaded (new type constraints may be
 10664 required);
 10665 
 10666 * HOL and ZF: unary minus for integers is now #- instead of #~.  In
 10667 ZF, expressions such as n#-1 must be changed to n#- 1, since #-1 is
 10668 now taken as an integer constant.
 10669 
 10670 * Pure: ML function 'theory_of' renamed to 'theory';
 10671 
 10672 
 10673 *** Proof tools ***
 10674 
 10675 * Simplifier:
 10676   1. Asm_full_simp_tac is now more aggressive.
 10677      1. It will sometimes reorient premises if that increases their power to
 10678         simplify.
 10679      2. It does no longer proceed strictly from left to right but may also
 10680         rotate premises to achieve further simplification.
 10681      For compatibility reasons there is now Asm_lr_simp_tac which is like the
 10682      old Asm_full_simp_tac in that it does not rotate premises.
 10683   2. The simplifier now knows a little bit about nat-arithmetic.
 10684 
 10685 * Classical reasoner: wrapper mechanism for the classical reasoner now
 10686 allows for selected deletion of wrappers, by introduction of names for
 10687 wrapper functionals.  This implies that addbefore, addSbefore,
 10688 addaltern, and addSaltern now take a pair (name, tactic) as argument,
 10689 and that adding two tactics with the same name overwrites the first
 10690 one (emitting a warning).
 10691   type wrapper = (int -> tactic) -> (int -> tactic)
 10692   setWrapper, setSWrapper, compWrapper and compSWrapper are replaced by
 10693   addWrapper, addSWrapper: claset * (string * wrapper) -> claset
 10694   delWrapper, delSWrapper: claset *  string            -> claset
 10695   getWrapper is renamed to appWrappers, getSWrapper to appSWrappers;
 10696 
 10697 * Classical reasoner: addbefore/addSbefore now have APPEND/ORELSE
 10698 semantics; addbefore now affects only the unsafe part of step_tac
 10699 etc.; this affects addss/auto_tac/force_tac, so EXISTING PROOFS MAY
 10700 FAIL, but proofs should be fixable easily, e.g. by replacing Auto_tac
 10701 by Force_tac;
 10702 
 10703 * Classical reasoner: setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to
 10704 compWrapper; added safe wrapper (and access functions for it);
 10705 
 10706 * HOL/split_all_tac is now much faster and fails if there is nothing
 10707 to split.  Some EXISTING PROOFS MAY REQUIRE ADAPTION because the order
 10708 and the names of the automatically generated variables have changed.
 10709 split_all_tac has moved within claset() from unsafe wrappers to safe
 10710 wrappers, which means that !!-bound variables are split much more
 10711 aggressively, and safe_tac and clarify_tac now split such variables.
 10712 If this splitting is not appropriate, use delSWrapper "split_all_tac".
 10713 Note: the same holds for record_split_tac, which does the job of
 10714 split_all_tac for record fields.
 10715 
 10716 * HOL/Simplifier: Rewrite rules for case distinctions can now be added
 10717 permanently to the default simpset using Addsplits just like
 10718 Addsimps. They can be removed via Delsplits just like
 10719 Delsimps. Lower-case versions are also available.
 10720 
 10721 * HOL/Simplifier: The rule split_if is now part of the default
 10722 simpset. This means that the simplifier will eliminate all occurrences
 10723 of if-then-else in the conclusion of a goal. To prevent this, you can
 10724 either remove split_if completely from the default simpset by
 10725 `Delsplits [split_if]' or remove it in a specific call of the
 10726 simplifier using `... delsplits [split_if]'.  You can also add/delete
 10727 other case splitting rules to/from the default simpset: every datatype
 10728 generates suitable rules `split_t_case' and `split_t_case_asm' (where
 10729 t is the name of the datatype).
 10730 
 10731 * Classical reasoner / Simplifier combination: new force_tac (and
 10732 derivatives Force_tac, force) combines rewriting and classical
 10733 reasoning (and whatever other tools) similarly to auto_tac, but is
 10734 aimed to solve the given subgoal completely.
 10735 
 10736 
 10737 *** General ***
 10738 
 10739 * new top-level commands `Goal' and `Goalw' that improve upon `goal'
 10740 and `goalw': the theory is no longer needed as an explicit argument -
 10741 the current theory context is used; assumptions are no longer returned
 10742 at the ML-level unless one of them starts with ==> or !!; it is
 10743 recommended to convert to these new commands using isatool fixgoal
 10744 (backup your sources first!);
 10745 
 10746 * new top-level commands 'thm' and 'thms' for retrieving theorems from
 10747 the current theory context, and 'theory' to lookup stored theories;
 10748 
 10749 * new theory section 'locale' for declaring constants, assumptions and
 10750 definitions that have local scope;
 10751 
 10752 * new theory section 'nonterminals' for purely syntactic types;
 10753 
 10754 * new theory section 'setup' for generic ML setup functions
 10755 (e.g. package initialization);
 10756 
 10757 * the distribution now includes Isabelle icons: see
 10758 lib/logo/isabelle-{small,tiny}.xpm;
 10759 
 10760 * isatool install - install binaries with absolute references to
 10761 ISABELLE_HOME/bin;
 10762 
 10763 * isatool logo -- create instances of the Isabelle logo (as EPS);
 10764 
 10765 * print mode 'emacs' reserved for Isamode;
 10766 
 10767 * support multiple print (ast) translations per constant name;
 10768 
 10769 * theorems involving oracles are now printed with a suffixed [!];
 10770 
 10771 
 10772 *** HOL ***
 10773 
 10774 * there is now a tutorial on Isabelle/HOL (do 'isatool doc tutorial');
 10775 
 10776 * HOL/inductive package reorganized and improved: now supports mutual
 10777 definitions such as
 10778 
 10779   inductive EVEN ODD
 10780     intrs
 10781       null "0 : EVEN"
 10782       oddI "n : EVEN ==> Suc n : ODD"
 10783       evenI "n : ODD ==> Suc n : EVEN"
 10784 
 10785 new theorem list "elims" contains an elimination rule for each of the
 10786 recursive sets; inductive definitions now handle disjunctive premises
 10787 correctly (also ZF);
 10788 
 10789 INCOMPATIBILITIES: requires Inductive as an ancestor; component
 10790 "mutual_induct" no longer exists - the induction rule is always
 10791 contained in "induct";
 10792 
 10793 
 10794 * HOL/datatype package re-implemented and greatly improved: now
 10795 supports mutually recursive datatypes such as
 10796 
 10797   datatype
 10798     'a aexp = IF_THEN_ELSE ('a bexp) ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 10799             | SUM ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 10800             | DIFF ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 10801             | NUM 'a
 10802   and
 10803     'a bexp = LESS ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 10804             | AND ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
 10805             | OR ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
 10806 
 10807 as well as indirectly recursive datatypes such as
 10808 
 10809   datatype
 10810     ('a, 'b) term = Var 'a
 10811                   | App 'b ((('a, 'b) term) list)
 10812 
 10813 The new tactic  mutual_induct_tac [<var_1>, ..., <var_n>] i  performs
 10814 induction on mutually / indirectly recursive datatypes.
 10815 
 10816 Primrec equations are now stored in theory and can be accessed via
 10817 <function_name>.simps.
 10818 
 10819 INCOMPATIBILITIES:
 10820 
 10821   - Theories using datatypes must now have theory Datatype as an
 10822     ancestor.
 10823   - The specific <typename>.induct_tac no longer exists - use the
 10824     generic induct_tac instead.
 10825   - natE has been renamed to nat.exhaust - use exhaust_tac
 10826     instead of res_inst_tac ... natE. Note that the variable
 10827     names in nat.exhaust differ from the names in natE, this
 10828     may cause some "fragile" proofs to fail.
 10829   - The theorems split_<typename>_case and split_<typename>_case_asm
 10830     have been renamed to <typename>.split and <typename>.split_asm.
 10831   - Since default sorts of type variables are now handled correctly,
 10832     some datatype definitions may have to be annotated with explicit
 10833     sort constraints.
 10834   - Primrec definitions no longer require function name and type
 10835     of recursive argument.
 10836 
 10837 Consider using isatool fixdatatype to adapt your theories and proof
 10838 scripts to the new package (backup your sources first!).
 10839 
 10840 
 10841 * HOL/record package: considerably improved implementation; now
 10842 includes concrete syntax for record types, terms, updates; theorems
 10843 for surjective pairing and splitting !!-bound record variables; proof
 10844 support is as follows:
 10845 
 10846   1) standard conversions (selectors or updates applied to record
 10847 constructor terms) are part of the standard simpset;
 10848 
 10849   2) inject equations of the form ((x, y) = (x', y')) == x=x' & y=y' are
 10850 made part of standard simpset and claset via addIffs;
 10851 
 10852   3) a tactic for record field splitting (record_split_tac) is part of
 10853 the standard claset (addSWrapper);
 10854 
 10855 To get a better idea about these rules you may retrieve them via
 10856 something like 'thms "foo.simps"' or 'thms "foo.iffs"', where "foo" is
 10857 the name of your record type.
 10858 
 10859 The split tactic 3) conceptually simplifies by the following rule:
 10860 
 10861   "(!!x. PROP ?P x) == (!!a b. PROP ?P (a, b))"
 10862 
 10863 Thus any record variable that is bound by meta-all will automatically
 10864 blow up into some record constructor term, consequently the
 10865 simplifications of 1), 2) apply.  Thus force_tac, auto_tac etc. shall
 10866 solve record problems automatically.
 10867 
 10868 
 10869 * reorganized the main HOL image: HOL/Integ and String loaded by
 10870 default; theory Main includes everything;
 10871 
 10872 * automatic simplification of integer sums and comparisons, using cancellation;
 10873 
 10874 * added option_map_eq_Some and not_Some_eq to the default simpset and claset;
 10875 
 10876 * added disj_not1 = "(~P | Q) = (P --> Q)" to the default simpset;
 10877 
 10878 * many new identities for unions, intersections, set difference, etc.;
 10879 
 10880 * expand_if, expand_split, expand_sum_case and expand_nat_case are now
 10881 called split_if, split_split, split_sum_case and split_nat_case (to go
 10882 with add/delsplits);
 10883 
 10884 * HOL/Prod introduces simplification procedure unit_eq_proc rewriting
 10885 (?x::unit) = (); this is made part of the default simpset, which COULD
 10886 MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL under rare circumstances (consider
 10887 'Delsimprocs [unit_eq_proc];' as last resort); also note that
 10888 unit_abs_eta_conv is added in order to counter the effect of
 10889 unit_eq_proc on (%u::unit. f u), replacing it by f rather than by
 10890 %u.f();
 10891 
 10892 * HOL/Fun INCOMPATIBILITY: `inj_onto' is now called `inj_on' (which
 10893 makes more sense);
 10894 
 10895 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 10896   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 10897   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 10898 
 10899 * HOL/Relation INCOMPATIBILITY: renamed the relational operator r^-1
 10900 to 'converse' from 'inverse' (for compatibility with ZF and some
 10901 literature);
 10902 
 10903 * HOL/recdef can now declare non-recursive functions, with {} supplied as
 10904 the well-founded relation;
 10905 
 10906 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: the complement of set A is now written -A instead of
 10907     Compl A.  The "Compl" syntax remains available as input syntax for this
 10908     release ONLY.
 10909 
 10910 * HOL/Update: new theory of function updates:
 10911     f(a:=b) == %x. if x=a then b else f x
 10912 may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 10913 
 10914 * HOL/Vimage: new theory for inverse image of a function, syntax f-``B;
 10915 
 10916 * HOL/List:
 10917   - new function list_update written xs[i:=v] that updates the i-th
 10918     list position. May also be iterated as in xs[i:=a,j:=b,...].
 10919   - new function `upt' written [i..j(] which generates the list
 10920     [i,i+1,...,j-1], i.e. the upper bound is excluded. To include the upper
 10921     bound write [i..j], which is a shorthand for [i..j+1(].
 10922   - new lexicographic orderings and corresponding wellfoundedness theorems.
 10923 
 10924 * HOL/Arith:
 10925   - removed 'pred' (predecessor) function;
 10926   - generalized some theorems about n-1;
 10927   - many new laws about "div" and "mod";
 10928   - new laws about greatest common divisors (see theory ex/Primes);
 10929 
 10930 * HOL/Relation: renamed the relational operator r^-1 "converse"
 10931 instead of "inverse";
 10932 
 10933 * HOL/Induct/Multiset: a theory of multisets, including the wellfoundedness
 10934   of the multiset ordering;
 10935 
 10936 * directory HOL/Real: a construction of the reals using Dedekind cuts
 10937   (not included by default);
 10938 
 10939 * directory HOL/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY formalism;
 10940 
 10941 * directory HOL/Hoare: a new version of Hoare logic which permits many-sorted
 10942   programs, i.e. different program variables may have different types.
 10943 
 10944 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 10945   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 10946   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 10947 
 10948 
 10949 *** ZF ***
 10950 
 10951 * theory Main includes everything; INCOMPATIBILITY: theory ZF.thy contains
 10952   only the theorems proved on ZF.ML;
 10953 
 10954 * ZF INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 10955   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 10956   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 10957 
 10958 * ZF/Update: new theory of function updates
 10959     with default rewrite rule  f(x:=y) ` z = if(z=x, y, f`z)
 10960   may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 10961 
 10962 * in  let x=t in u(x), neither t nor u(x) has to be an FOL term.
 10963 
 10964 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 10965   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 10966   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 10967 
 10968 * case_tac provided for compatibility with HOL
 10969     (like the old excluded_middle_tac, but with subgoals swapped)
 10970 
 10971 
 10972 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
 10973 
 10974 * Pure: several new basic modules made available for general use, see
 10975 also src/Pure/README;
 10976 
 10977 * improved the theory data mechanism to support encapsulation (data
 10978 kind name replaced by private Object.kind, acting as authorization
 10979 key); new type-safe user interface via functor TheoryDataFun; generic
 10980 print_data function becomes basically useless;
 10981 
 10982 * removed global_names compatibility flag -- all theory declarations
 10983 are qualified by default;
 10984 
 10985 * module Pure/Syntax now offers quote / antiquote translation
 10986 functions (useful for Hoare logic etc. with implicit dependencies);
 10987 see HOL/ex/Antiquote for an example use;
 10988 
 10989 * Simplifier now offers conversions (asm_)(full_)rewrite: simpset ->
 10990 cterm -> thm;
 10991 
 10992 * new tactical CHANGED_GOAL for checking that a tactic modifies a
 10993 subgoal;
 10994 
 10995 * Display.print_goals function moved to Locale.print_goals;
 10996 
 10997 * standard print function for goals supports current_goals_markers
 10998 variable for marking begin of proof, end of proof, start of goal; the
 10999 default is ("", "", ""); setting current_goals_markers := ("<proof>",
 11000 "</proof>", "<goal>") causes SGML like tagged proof state printing,
 11001 for example;
 11002 
 11003 
 11004 
 11005 New in Isabelle98 (January 1998)
 11006 --------------------------------
 11007 
 11008 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 11009 
 11010 * changed lexical syntax of terms / types: dots made part of long
 11011 identifiers, e.g. "%x.x" no longer possible, should be "%x. x";
 11012 
 11013 * simpset (and claset) reference variable replaced by functions
 11014 simpset / simpset_ref;
 11015 
 11016 * no longer supports theory aliases (via merge) and non-trivial
 11017 implicit merge of thms' signatures;
 11018 
 11019 * most internal names of constants changed due to qualified names;
 11020 
 11021 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML);
 11022 
 11023 
 11024 *** General Changes ***
 11025 
 11026 * hierachically structured name spaces (for consts, types, axms, thms
 11027 etc.); new lexical class 'longid' (e.g. Foo.bar.x) may render much of
 11028 old input syntactically incorrect (e.g. "%x.x"); COMPATIBILITY:
 11029 isatool fixdots ensures space after dots (e.g. "%x. x"); set
 11030 long_names for fully qualified output names; NOTE: ML programs
 11031 (special tactics, packages etc.) referring to internal names may have
 11032 to be adapted to cope with fully qualified names; in case of severe
 11033 backward campatibility problems try setting 'global_names' at compile
 11034 time to have enrything declared within a flat name space; one may also
 11035 fine tune name declarations in theories via the 'global' and 'local'
 11036 section;
 11037 
 11038 * reimplemented the implicit simpset and claset using the new anytype
 11039 data filed in signatures; references simpset:simpset ref etc. are
 11040 replaced by functions simpset:unit->simpset and
 11041 simpset_ref:unit->simpset ref; COMPATIBILITY: use isatool fixclasimp
 11042 to patch your ML files accordingly;
 11043 
 11044 * HTML output now includes theory graph data for display with Java
 11045 applet or isatool browser; data generated automatically via isatool
 11046 usedir (see -i option, ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS);
 11047 
 11048 * defs may now be conditional; improved rewrite_goals_tac to handle
 11049 conditional equations;
 11050 
 11051 * defs now admits additional type arguments, using TYPE('a) syntax;
 11052 
 11053 * theory aliases via merge (e.g. M=A+B+C) no longer supported, always
 11054 creates a new theory node; implicit merge of thms' signatures is
 11055 restricted to 'trivial' ones; COMPATIBILITY: one may have to use
 11056 transfer:theory->thm->thm in (rare) cases;
 11057 
 11058 * improved handling of draft signatures / theories; draft thms (and
 11059 ctyps, cterms) are automatically promoted to real ones;
 11060 
 11061 * slightly changed interfaces for oracles: admit many per theory, named
 11062 (e.g. oracle foo = mlfun), additional name argument for invoke_oracle;
 11063 
 11064 * print_goals: optional output of const types (set show_consts and
 11065 show_types);
 11066 
 11067 * improved output of warnings (###) and errors (***);
 11068 
 11069 * subgoal_tac displays a warning if the new subgoal has type variables;
 11070 
 11071 * removed old README and Makefiles;
 11072 
 11073 * replaced print_goals_ref hook by print_current_goals_fn and result_error_fn;
 11074 
 11075 * removed obsolete init_pps and init_database;
 11076 
 11077 * deleted the obsolete tactical STATE, which was declared by
 11078     fun STATE tacfun st = tacfun st st;
 11079 
 11080 * cd and use now support path variables, e.g. $ISABELLE_HOME, or ~
 11081 (which abbreviates $HOME);
 11082 
 11083 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML); COMPATIBILITY:
 11084 use isatool fixseq to adapt your ML programs (this works for fully
 11085 qualified references to the Sequence structure only!);
 11086 
 11087 * use_thy no longer requires writable current directory; it always
 11088 reloads .ML *and* .thy file, if either one is out of date;
 11089 
 11090 
 11091 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 11092 
 11093 * Clarify_tac, clarify_tac, clarify_step_tac, Clarify_step_tac: new
 11094 tactics that use classical reasoning to simplify a subgoal without
 11095 splitting it into several subgoals;
 11096 
 11097 * Safe_tac: like safe_tac but uses the default claset;
 11098 
 11099 
 11100 *** Simplifier ***
 11101 
 11102 * added simplification meta rules:
 11103     (asm_)(full_)simplify: simpset -> thm -> thm;
 11104 
 11105 * simplifier.ML no longer part of Pure -- has to be loaded by object
 11106 logics (again);
 11107 
 11108 * added prems argument to simplification procedures;
 11109 
 11110 * HOL, FOL, ZF: added infix function `addsplits':
 11111   instead of `<simpset> setloop (split_tac <thms>)'
 11112   you can simply write `<simpset> addsplits <thms>'
 11113 
 11114 
 11115 *** Syntax ***
 11116 
 11117 * TYPE('a) syntax for type reflection terms;
 11118 
 11119 * no longer handles consts with name "" -- declare as 'syntax' instead;
 11120 
 11121 * pretty printer: changed order of mixfix annotation preference (again!);
 11122 
 11123 * Pure: fixed idt/idts vs. pttrn/pttrns syntactic categories;
 11124 
 11125 
 11126 *** HOL ***
 11127 
 11128 * HOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 11129   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 11130 
 11131 * HOL/TLA: Stephan Merz's formalization of Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions;
 11132 
 11133 * HOL/Auth: new protocol proofs including some for the Internet
 11134   protocol TLS;
 11135 
 11136 * HOL/Map: new theory of `maps' a la VDM;
 11137 
 11138 * HOL/simplifier: simplification procedures nat_cancel_sums for
 11139 cancelling out common nat summands from =, <, <= (in)equalities, or
 11140 differences; simplification procedures nat_cancel_factor for
 11141 cancelling common factor from =, <, <= (in)equalities over natural
 11142 sums; nat_cancel contains both kinds of procedures, it is installed by
 11143 default in Arith.thy -- this COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL;
 11144 
 11145 * HOL/simplifier: terms of the form
 11146   `? x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x)'  (or t=x)
 11147   are rewritten to
 11148   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t)',
 11149   and those of the form
 11150   `! x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x) --> R(x)'  (or t=x)
 11151   are rewritten to
 11152   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t) --> R(t)',
 11153 
 11154 * HOL/datatype
 11155   Each datatype `t' now comes with a theorem `split_t_case' of the form
 11156 
 11157   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 11158      ( (!y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 --> P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) &
 11159         ...
 11160        (!y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn --> P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 11161      )
 11162 
 11163   and a theorem `split_t_case_asm' of the form
 11164 
 11165   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 11166     ~( (? y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 & ~P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) |
 11167         ...
 11168        (? y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn & ~P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 11169      )
 11170   which can be added to a simpset via `addsplits'. The existing theorems
 11171   expand_list_case and expand_option_case have been renamed to
 11172   split_list_case and split_option_case.
 11173 
 11174 * HOL/Arithmetic:
 11175   - `pred n' is automatically converted to `n-1'.
 11176     Users are strongly encouraged not to use `pred' any longer,
 11177     because it will disappear altogether at some point.
 11178   - Users are strongly encouraged to write "0 < n" rather than
 11179     "n ~= 0". Theorems and proof tools have been modified towards this
 11180     `standard'.
 11181 
 11182 * HOL/Lists:
 11183   the function "set_of_list" has been renamed "set" (and its theorems too);
 11184   the function "nth" now takes its arguments in the reverse order and
 11185   has acquired the infix notation "!" as in "xs!n".
 11186 
 11187 * HOL/Set: UNIV is now a constant and is no longer translated to Compl{};
 11188 
 11189 * HOL/Set: The operator (UN x.B x) now abbreviates (UN x:UNIV. B x) and its
 11190   specialist theorems (like UN1_I) are gone.  Similarly for (INT x.B x);
 11191 
 11192 * HOL/record: extensible records with schematic structural subtyping
 11193 (single inheritance); EXPERIMENTAL version demonstrating the encoding,
 11194 still lacks various theorems and concrete record syntax;
 11195 
 11196 
 11197 *** HOLCF ***
 11198 
 11199 * removed "axioms" and "generated by" sections;
 11200 
 11201 * replaced "ops" section by extended "consts" section, which is capable of
 11202   handling the continuous function space "->" directly;
 11203 
 11204 * domain package:
 11205   . proves theorems immediately and stores them in the theory,
 11206   . creates hierachical name space,
 11207   . now uses normal mixfix annotations (instead of cinfix...),
 11208   . minor changes to some names and values (for consistency),
 11209   . e.g. cases -> casedist, dists_eq -> dist_eqs, [take_lemma] -> take_lemmas,
 11210   . separator between mutual domain defs: changed "," to "and",
 11211   . improved handling of sort constraints;  now they have to
 11212     appear on the left-hand side of the equations only;
 11213 
 11214 * fixed LAM <x,y,zs>.b syntax;
 11215 
 11216 * added extended adm_tac to simplifier in HOLCF -- can now discharge
 11217 adm (%x. P (t x)), where P is chainfinite and t continuous;
 11218 
 11219 
 11220 *** FOL and ZF ***
 11221 
 11222 * FOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 11223   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 11224 
 11225 * qed_spec_mp, qed_goal_spec_mp, qed_goalw_spec_mp are available, as
 11226 in HOL, they strip ALL and --> from proved theorems;
 11227 
 11228 
 11229 
 11230 New in Isabelle94-8 (May 1997)
 11231 ------------------------------
 11232 
 11233 *** General Changes ***
 11234 
 11235 * new utilities to build / run / maintain Isabelle etc. (in parts
 11236 still somewhat experimental); old Makefiles etc. still functional;
 11237 
 11238 * new 'Isabelle System Manual';
 11239 
 11240 * INSTALL text, together with ./configure and ./build scripts;
 11241 
 11242 * reimplemented type inference for greater efficiency, better error
 11243 messages and clean internal interface;
 11244 
 11245 * prlim command for dealing with lots of subgoals (an easier way of
 11246 setting goals_limit);
 11247 
 11248 
 11249 *** Syntax ***
 11250 
 11251 * supports alternative (named) syntax tables (parser and pretty
 11252 printer); internal interface is provided by add_modesyntax(_i);
 11253 
 11254 * Pure, FOL, ZF, HOL, HOLCF now support symbolic input and output; to
 11255 be used in conjunction with the Isabelle symbol font; uses the
 11256 "symbols" syntax table;
 11257 
 11258 * added token_translation interface (may translate name tokens in
 11259 arbitrary ways, dependent on their type (free, bound, tfree, ...) and
 11260 the current print_mode); IMPORTANT: user print translation functions
 11261 are responsible for marking newly introduced bounds
 11262 (Syntax.mark_boundT);
 11263 
 11264 * token translations for modes "xterm" and "xterm_color" that display
 11265 names in bold, underline etc. or colors (which requires a color
 11266 version of xterm);
 11267 
 11268 * infixes may now be declared with names independent of their syntax;
 11269 
 11270 * added typed_print_translation (like print_translation, but may
 11271 access type of constant);
 11272 
 11273 
 11274 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 11275 
 11276 Blast_tac: a new tactic!  It is often more powerful than fast_tac, but has
 11277 some limitations.  Blast_tac...
 11278   + ignores addss, addbefore, addafter; this restriction is intrinsic
 11279   + ignores elimination rules that don't have the correct format
 11280         (the conclusion MUST be a formula variable)
 11281   + ignores types, which can make HOL proofs fail
 11282   + rules must not require higher-order unification, e.g. apply_type in ZF
 11283     [message "Function Var's argument not a bound variable" relates to this]
 11284   + its proof strategy is more general but can actually be slower
 11285 
 11286 * substitution with equality assumptions no longer permutes other
 11287 assumptions;
 11288 
 11289 * minor changes in semantics of addafter (now called addaltern); renamed
 11290 setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to compWrapper; added safe wrapper
 11291 (and access functions for it);
 11292 
 11293 * improved combination of classical reasoner and simplifier:
 11294   + functions for handling clasimpsets
 11295   + improvement of addss: now the simplifier is called _after_ the
 11296     safe steps.
 11297   + safe variant of addss called addSss: uses safe simplifications
 11298     _during_ the safe steps. It is more complete as it allows multiple
 11299     instantiations of unknowns (e.g. with slow_tac).
 11300 
 11301 *** Simplifier ***
 11302 
 11303 * added interface for simplification procedures (functions that
 11304 produce *proven* rewrite rules on the fly, depending on current
 11305 redex);
 11306 
 11307 * ordering on terms as parameter (used for ordered rewriting);
 11308 
 11309 * new functions delcongs, deleqcongs, and Delcongs. richer rep_ss;
 11310 
 11311 * the solver is now split into a safe and an unsafe part.
 11312 This should be invisible for the normal user, except that the
 11313 functions setsolver and addsolver have been renamed to setSolver and
 11314 addSolver; added safe_asm_full_simp_tac;
 11315 
 11316 
 11317 *** HOL ***
 11318 
 11319 * a generic induction tactic `induct_tac' which works for all datatypes and
 11320 also for type `nat';
 11321 
 11322 * a generic case distinction tactic `exhaust_tac' which works for all
 11323 datatypes and also for type `nat';
 11324 
 11325 * each datatype comes with a function `size';
 11326 
 11327 * patterns in case expressions allow tuple patterns as arguments to
 11328 constructors, for example `case x of [] => ... | (x,y,z)#ps => ...';
 11329 
 11330 * primrec now also works with type nat;
 11331 
 11332 * recdef: a new declaration form, allows general recursive functions to be
 11333 defined in theory files.  See HOL/ex/Fib, HOL/ex/Primes, HOL/Subst/Unify.
 11334 
 11335 * the constant for negation has been renamed from "not" to "Not" to
 11336 harmonize with FOL, ZF, LK, etc.;
 11337 
 11338 * HOL/ex/LFilter theory of a corecursive "filter" functional for
 11339 infinite lists;
 11340 
 11341 * HOL/Modelcheck demonstrates invocation of model checker oracle;
 11342 
 11343 * HOL/ex/Ring.thy declares cring_simp, which solves equational
 11344 problems in commutative rings, using axiomatic type classes for + and *;
 11345 
 11346 * more examples in HOL/MiniML and HOL/Auth;
 11347 
 11348 * more default rewrite rules for quantifiers, union/intersection;
 11349 
 11350 * a new constant `arbitrary == @x.False';
 11351 
 11352 * HOLCF/IOA replaces old HOL/IOA;
 11353 
 11354 * HOLCF changes: derived all rules and arities
 11355   + axiomatic type classes instead of classes
 11356   + typedef instead of faking type definitions
 11357   + eliminated the internal constants less_fun, less_cfun, UU_fun, UU_cfun etc.
 11358   + new axclasses cpo, chfin, flat with flat < chfin < pcpo < cpo < po
 11359   + eliminated the types void, one, tr
 11360   + use unit lift and bool lift (with translations) instead of one and tr
 11361   + eliminated blift from Lift3.thy (use Def instead of blift)
 11362   all eliminated rules are derived as theorems --> no visible changes ;
 11363 
 11364 
 11365 *** ZF ***
 11366 
 11367 * ZF now has Fast_tac, Simp_tac and Auto_tac.  Union_iff is a now a default
 11368 rewrite rule; this may affect some proofs.  eq_cs is gone but can be put back
 11369 as ZF_cs addSIs [equalityI];
 11370 
 11371 
 11372 
 11373 New in Isabelle94-7 (November 96)
 11374 ---------------------------------
 11375 
 11376 * allowing negative levels (as offsets) in prlev and choplev;
 11377 
 11378 * super-linear speedup for large simplifications;
 11379 
 11380 * FOL, ZF and HOL now use miniscoping: rewriting pushes
 11381 quantifications in as far as possible (COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS
 11382 FAIL); can suppress it using the command Delsimps (ex_simps @
 11383 all_simps); De Morgan laws are also now included, by default;
 11384 
 11385 * improved printing of ==>  :  ~:
 11386 
 11387 * new object-logic "Sequents" adds linear logic, while replacing LK
 11388 and Modal (thanks to Sara Kalvala);
 11389 
 11390 * HOL/Auth: correctness proofs for authentication protocols;
 11391 
 11392 * HOL: new auto_tac combines rewriting and classical reasoning (many
 11393 examples on HOL/Auth);
 11394 
 11395 * HOL: new command AddIffs for declaring theorems of the form P=Q to
 11396 the rewriter and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 11397 
 11398 * function uresult no longer returns theorems in "standard" format;
 11399 regain previous version by: val uresult = standard o uresult;
 11400 
 11401 
 11402 
 11403 New in Isabelle94-6
 11404 -------------------
 11405 
 11406 * oracles -- these establish an interface between Isabelle and trusted
 11407 external reasoners, which may deliver results as theorems;
 11408 
 11409 * proof objects (in particular record all uses of oracles);
 11410 
 11411 * Simp_tac, Fast_tac, etc. that refer to implicit simpset / claset;
 11412 
 11413 * "constdefs" section in theory files;
 11414 
 11415 * "primrec" section (HOL) no longer requires names;
 11416 
 11417 * internal type "tactic" now simply "thm -> thm Sequence.seq";
 11418 
 11419 
 11420 
 11421 New in Isabelle94-5
 11422 -------------------
 11423 
 11424 * reduced space requirements;
 11425 
 11426 * automatic HTML generation from theories;
 11427 
 11428 * theory files no longer require "..." (quotes) around most types;
 11429 
 11430 * new examples, including two proofs of the Church-Rosser theorem;
 11431 
 11432 * non-curried (1994) version of HOL is no longer distributed;
 11433 
 11434 
 11435 
 11436 New in Isabelle94-4
 11437 -------------------
 11438 
 11439 * greatly reduced space requirements;
 11440 
 11441 * theory files (.thy) no longer require \...\ escapes at line breaks;
 11442 
 11443 * searchable theorem database (see the section "Retrieving theorems" on
 11444 page 8 of the Reference Manual);
 11445 
 11446 * new examples, including Grabczewski's monumental case study of the
 11447 Axiom of Choice;
 11448 
 11449 * The previous version of HOL renamed to Old_HOL;
 11450 
 11451 * The new version of HOL (previously called CHOL) uses a curried syntax
 11452 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b);
 11453 
 11454 * Mutually recursive inductive definitions finally work in HOL;
 11455 
 11456 * In ZF, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions and
 11457 translates to the operator "split";
 11458 
 11459 
 11460 
 11461 New in Isabelle94-3
 11462 -------------------
 11463 
 11464 * new infix operator, addss, allowing the classical reasoner to
 11465 perform simplification at each step of its search.  Example:
 11466         fast_tac (cs addss ss)
 11467 
 11468 * a new logic, CHOL, the same as HOL, but with a curried syntax
 11469 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b).  Also pairs
 11470 look like (a,b) instead of <a,b>;
 11471 
 11472 * PLEASE NOTE: CHOL will eventually replace HOL!
 11473 
 11474 * In CHOL, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions.
 11475 It translates to the operator "split".  A new theory of integers is available;
 11476 
 11477 * In ZF, integer numerals now denote two's-complement binary integers.
 11478 Arithmetic operations can be performed by rewriting.  See ZF/ex/Bin.ML;
 11479 
 11480 * Many new examples: I/O automata, Church-Rosser theorem, equivalents
 11481 of the Axiom of Choice;
 11482 
 11483 
 11484 
 11485 New in Isabelle94-2
 11486 -------------------
 11487 
 11488 * Significantly faster resolution;
 11489 
 11490 * the different sections in a .thy file can now be mixed and repeated
 11491 freely;
 11492 
 11493 * Database of theorems for FOL, HOL and ZF.  New
 11494 commands including qed, qed_goal and bind_thm store theorems in the database.
 11495 
 11496 * Simple database queries: return a named theorem (get_thm) or all theorems of
 11497 a given theory (thms_of), or find out what theory a theorem was proved in
 11498 (theory_of_thm);
 11499 
 11500 * Bugs fixed in the inductive definition and datatype packages;
 11501 
 11502 * The classical reasoner provides deepen_tac and depth_tac, making FOL_dup_cs
 11503 and HOL_dup_cs obsolete;
 11504 
 11505 * Syntactic ambiguities caused by the new treatment of syntax in Isabelle94-1
 11506 have been removed;
 11507 
 11508 * Simpler definition of function space in ZF;
 11509 
 11510 * new results about cardinal and ordinal arithmetic in ZF;
 11511 
 11512 * 'subtype' facility in HOL for introducing new types as subsets of existing
 11513 types;
