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

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

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

   628 
   629 To restore proofs, the following patterns are helpful:
   630 
   631 a) Arbitrary failing proof not involving "diff_def":
   632 Consider simplification with algebra_simps or field_simps.
   633 
   634 b) Lifting rules from addition to subtraction:
   635 Try with "using <rule for addition> of [... "- _" ...]" by simp".
   636 
   637 c) Simplification with "diff_def": just drop "diff_def".
   638 Consider simplification with algebra_simps or field_simps;
   639 or the brute way with
   640 "simp add: diff_conv_add_uminus del: add_uminus_conv_diff".
   641 
   642 * Introduce bdd_above and bdd_below in theory
   643 Conditionally_Complete_Lattices, use them instead of explicitly
   644 stating boundedness of sets.
   645 
   646 * ccpo.admissible quantifies only over non-empty chains to allow more
   647 syntax-directed proof rules; the case of the empty chain shows up as
   648 additional case in fixpoint induction proofs.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

   678   - "(f has_field_derivative f') (at x within s)" replaces "DERIV f x : s : f'"
   679 
   680   - "f differentiable at x within s" replaces "_ differentiable _ in _" syntax
   681 
   682   - removed constant isDiff
   683 
   684   - "DERIV f x : f'" and "FDERIV f x : f'" syntax is only available as
   685     input syntax.
   686 
   687   - "DERIV f x : s : f'" and "FDERIV f x : s : f'" syntax removed.
   688 
   689   - Renamed FDERIV_... lemmas to has_derivative_...
   690 
   691   - renamed deriv (the syntax constant used for "DERIV _ _ :> _") to DERIV
   692 
   693   - removed DERIV_intros, has_derivative_eq_intros
   694 
   695   - introduced derivative_intros and deriative_eq_intros which
   696     includes now rules for DERIV, has_derivative and
   697     has_vector_derivative.

   708 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   709 
   710 * Include more theorems in continuous_intros. Remove the
   711 continuous_on_intros, isCont_intros collections, these facts are now
   712 in continuous_intros.
   713 
   714 * Theorems about complex numbers are now stated only using Re and Im,
   715 the Complex constructor is not used anymore. It is possible to use
   716 primcorec to defined the behaviour of a complex-valued function.
   717 
   718 Removed theorems about the Complex constructor from the simpset, they
   719 are available as the lemma collection legacy_Complex_simps. This
   720 especially removes
   721 
   722     i_complex_of_real: "ii * complex_of_real r = Complex 0 r".
   723 
   724 Instead the reverse direction is supported with
   725     Complex_eq: "Complex a b = a + \<i> * b"

   777     "uint_word_arith_bintrs".
   778 
   779 * HOL-Number_Theory:
   780   - consolidated the proofs of the binomial theorem
   781   - the function fib is again of type nat => nat and not overloaded
   782   - no more references to Old_Number_Theory in the HOL libraries

   786 
   787 * HOL-Multivariate_Analysis:
   788   - Type class ordered_real_vector for ordered vector spaces.
   789   - New theory Complex_Basic_Analysis defining complex derivatives,
   790     holomorphic functions, etc., ported from HOL Light's canal.ml.
   791   - Changed order of ordered_euclidean_space to be compatible with

   795     explicit set-comprehensions with eucl_less for other (half-)open
   796     intervals.
   797   - removed dependencies on type class ordered_euclidean_space with
   798     introduction of "cbox" on euclidean_space

   913     lebesgue_integral_nonneg
   914     lebesgue_integral_uminus
   915     lebesgue_integral_cmult

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

  2530   mod_mult_distrib ~> mult_mod_left
  2531   mod_mult_distrib2 ~> mult_mod_right

  2568 INCOMPATIBILITY.  For the common phrases "%xs. List.foldr plus xs 0"
  2569 and "List.foldl plus 0", prefer "List.listsum".  Otherwise it can be
  2570 useful to boil down "List.foldr" and "List.foldl" to "List.fold" by
  2571 unfolding "foldr_conv_fold" and "foldl_conv_fold".

  2819 
  2820 * Session HOL/IMP: Added new theory of abstract interpretation of

  2822 
  2823 * Session HOL-Import: Re-implementation from scratch is faster,
  2824 simpler, and more scalable.  Requires a proof bundle, which is

  2826 dead) Importer for HOL4 and HOL Light.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2874 * Session HOL-Word: New proof method "word_bitwise" for splitting
  2875 machine word equalities and inequalities into logical circuits,
  2876 defined in HOL/Word/WordBitwise.thy.  Supports addition, subtraction,
  2877 multiplication, shifting by constants, bitwise operators and numeric
  2878 constants.  Requires fixed-length word types, not 'a word.  Solves
  2879 many standard word identities outright and converts more into first
  2880 order problems amenable to blast or similar.  See also examples in
  2881 HOL/Word/Examples/WordExamples.thy.
  2882 
  2883 * Session HOL-Probability: Introduced the type "'a measure" to
  2884 represent measures, this replaces the records 'a algebra and 'a
  2885 measure_space.  The locales based on subset_class now have two
  2886 locale-parameters the space \<Omega> and the set of measurable sets M.
  2887 The product of probability spaces uses now the same constant as the
  2888 finite product of sigma-finite measure spaces "PiM :: ('i => 'a)
  2889 measure".  Most constants are defined now outside of locales and gain
  2890 an additional parameter, like null_sets, almost_eventually or \<mu>'.
  2891 Measure space constructions for distributions and densities now got
  2892 their own constants distr and density.  Instead of using locales to
  2893 describe measure spaces with a finite space, the measure count_space
  2894 and point_measure is introduced.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2895 
  2896   Renamed constants:
  2897   measure -> emeasure
  2898   finite_measure.\<mu>' -> measure

  3055 
  3056 * Session HOL-TPTP: support to parse and import TPTP problems (all
  3057 languages) into Isabelle/HOL.
  3058 
  3059 
  3060 *** FOL ***
  3061 
  3062 * New "case_product" attribute (see HOL).
  3063 
  3064 
  3065 *** ZF ***
  3066 
  3067 * Greater support for structured proofs involving induction or case
  3068 analysis.
  3069 
  3070 * Much greater use of mathematical symbols.
  3071 
  3072 * Removal of many ML theorem bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3073 
  3074 
  3075 *** ML ***
  3076 
  3077 * Antiquotation @{keyword "name"} produces a parser for outer syntax
  3078 from a minor keyword introduced via theory header declaration.
  3079 
  3080 * Antiquotation @{command_spec "name"} produces the
  3081 Outer_Syntax.command_spec from a major keyword introduced via theory
  3082 header declaration; it can be passed to Outer_Syntax.command etc.
  3083 
  3084 * Local_Theory.define no longer hard-wires default theorem name
  3085 "foo_def", but retains the binding as given.  If that is Binding.empty
  3086 / Attrib.empty_binding, the result is not registered as user-level
  3087 fact.  The Local_Theory.define_internal variant allows to specify a
  3088 non-empty name (used for the foundation in the background theory),
  3089 while omitting the fact binding in the user-context.  Potential
  3090 INCOMPATIBILITY for derived definitional packages: need to specify
  3091 naming policy for primitive definitions more explicitly.
  3092 
  3093 * Renamed Thm.capply to Thm.apply, and Thm.cabs to Thm.lambda in
  3094 conformance with similar operations in structure Term and Logic.
  3095 
  3096 * Antiquotation @{attributes [...]} embeds attribute source
  3097 representation into the ML text, which is particularly useful with
  3098 declarations like Local_Theory.note.
  3099 
  3100 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  3101 ProofContext has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3102 
  3103 * Refined Local_Theory.declaration {syntax, pervasive}, with subtle
  3104 change of semantics: update is applied to auxiliary local theory
  3105 context as well.
  3106 
  3107 * Modernized some old-style infix operations:
  3108 
  3109   addeqcongs    ~> Simplifier.add_eqcong
  3110   deleqcongs    ~> Simplifier.del_eqcong
  3111   addcongs      ~> Simplifier.add_cong
  3112   delcongs      ~> Simplifier.del_cong
  3113   setmksimps    ~> Simplifier.set_mksimps
  3114   setmkcong     ~> Simplifier.set_mkcong
  3115   setmksym      ~> Simplifier.set_mksym
  3116   setmkeqTrue   ~> Simplifier.set_mkeqTrue
  3117   settermless   ~> Simplifier.set_termless
  3118   setsubgoaler  ~> Simplifier.set_subgoaler
  3119   addsplits     ~> Splitter.add_split
  3120   delsplits     ~> Splitter.del_split
  3121 
  3122 
  3123 *** System ***
  3124 
  3125 * USER_HOME settings variable points to cross-platform user home
  3126 directory, which coincides with HOME on POSIX systems only.  Likewise,
  3127 the Isabelle path specification "~" now expands to $USER_HOME, instead
  3128 of former $HOME.  A different default for USER_HOME may be set
  3129 explicitly in shell environment, before Isabelle settings are
  3130 evaluated.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: need to adapt Isabelle path where
  3131 the generic user home was intended.
  3132 
  3133 * ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS refers to ISABELLE_HOME in windows file name
  3134 notation, which is useful for the jEdit file browser, for example.
  3135 
  3136 * ISABELLE_JDK_HOME settings variable points to JDK with javac and jar
  3137 (not just JRE).
  3138 
  3139 
  3140 
  3141 New in Isabelle2011-1 (October 2011)
  3142 ------------------------------------
  3143 
  3144 *** General ***
  3145 
  3146 * Improved Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE (PIDE), which can be invoked as
  3147 "isabelle jedit" or "ISABELLE_HOME/Isabelle" on the command line.
  3148 
  3149   - Management of multiple theory files directly from the editor
  3150     buffer store -- bypassing the file-system (no requirement to save
  3151     files for checking).
  3152 
  3153   - Markup of formal entities within the text buffer, with semantic
  3154     highlighting, tooltips and hyperlinks to jump to defining source
  3155     positions.
  3156 
  3157   - Improved text rendering, with sub/superscripts in the source
  3158     buffer (including support for copy/paste wrt. output panel, HTML
  3159     theory output and other non-Isabelle text boxes).
  3160 
  3161   - Refined scheduling of proof checking and printing of results,
  3162     based on interactive editor view.  (Note: jEdit folding and
  3163     narrowing allows to restrict buffer perspectives explicitly.)
  3164 
  3165   - Reduced CPU performance requirements, usable on machines with few
  3166     cores.
  3167 
  3168   - Reduced memory requirements due to pruning of unused document
  3169     versions (garbage collection).
  3170 
  3171 See also ~~/src/Tools/jEdit/README.html for further information,
  3172 including some remaining limitations.
  3173 
  3174 * Theory loader: source files are exclusively located via the master
  3175 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  3176 The global load path (such as src/HOL/Library) has been discontinued.
  3177 Note that the path element ~~ may be used to reference theories in the
  3178 Isabelle home folder -- for instance, "~~/src/HOL/Library/FuncSet".
  3179 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3180 
  3181 * Theory loader: source files are identified by content via SHA1
  3182 digests.  Discontinued former path/modtime identification and optional
  3183 ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT plugin scripts.
  3184 
  3185 * Parallelization of nested Isar proofs is subject to
  3186 Goal.parallel_proofs_threshold (default 100).  See also isabelle
  3187 usedir option -Q.
  3188 
  3189 * Name space: former unsynchronized references are now proper
  3190 configuration options, with more conventional names:
  3191 
  3192   long_names   ~> names_long
  3193   short_names  ~> names_short
  3194   unique_names ~> names_unique
  3195 
  3196 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, need to declare options in context like this:
  3197 
  3198   declare [[names_unique = false]]
  3199 
  3200 * Literal facts `prop` may contain dummy patterns, e.g. `_ = _`.  Note
  3201 that the result needs to be unique, which means fact specifications
  3202 may have to be refined after enriching a proof context.
  3203 
  3204 * Attribute "case_names" has been refined: the assumptions in each case
  3205 can be named now by following the case name with [name1 name2 ...].
  3206 
  3207 * Isabelle/Isar reference manual has been updated and extended:
  3208   - "Synopsis" provides a catalog of main Isar language concepts.
  3209   - Formal references in syntax diagrams, via @{rail} antiquotation.
  3210   - Updated material from classic "ref" manual, notably about
  3211     "Classical Reasoner".
  3212 
  3213 
  3214 *** HOL ***
  3215 
  3216 * Class bot and top require underlying partial order rather than
  3217 preorder: uniqueness of bot and top is guaranteed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3218 
  3219 * Class complete_lattice: generalized a couple of lemmas from sets;
  3220 generalized theorems INF_cong and SUP_cong.  New type classes for
  3221 complete boolean algebras and complete linear orders.  Lemmas
  3222 Inf_less_iff, less_Sup_iff, INF_less_iff, less_SUP_iff now reside in
  3223 class complete_linorder.
  3224 
  3225 Changed proposition of lemmas Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, Inf_fun_def,
  3226 Sup_fun_def, Inf_apply, Sup_apply.
  3227 
  3228 Removed redundant lemmas (the right hand side gives hints how to
  3229 replace them for (metis ...), or (simp only: ...) proofs):
  3230 
  3231   Inf_singleton ~> Inf_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Inf_empty inf_top_right]
  3232   Sup_singleton ~> Sup_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Sup_empty sup_bot_right]
  3233   Inf_binary ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  3234   Sup_binary ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  3235   Int_eq_Inter ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  3236   Un_eq_Union ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  3237   Inter_def ~> INF_def, image_def
  3238   Union_def ~> SUP_def, image_def
  3239   INT_eq ~> INF_def, and image_def
  3240   UN_eq ~> SUP_def, and image_def
  3241   INF_subset ~> INF_superset_mono [OF _ order_refl]
  3242 
  3243 More consistent and comprehensive names:
  3244 
  3245   INTER_eq_Inter_image ~> INF_def
  3246   UNION_eq_Union_image ~> SUP_def
  3247   INFI_def ~> INF_def
  3248   SUPR_def ~> SUP_def
  3249   INF_leI ~> INF_lower
  3250   INF_leI2 ~> INF_lower2
  3251   le_INFI ~> INF_greatest
  3252   le_SUPI ~> SUP_upper
  3253   le_SUPI2 ~> SUP_upper2
  3254   SUP_leI ~> SUP_least
  3255   INFI_bool_eq ~> INF_bool_eq
  3256   SUPR_bool_eq ~> SUP_bool_eq
  3257   INFI_apply ~> INF_apply
  3258   SUPR_apply ~> SUP_apply
  3259   INTER_def ~> INTER_eq
  3260   UNION_def ~> UNION_eq
  3261 
  3262 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3263 
  3264 * Renamed theory Complete_Lattice to Complete_Lattices.
  3265 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3266 
  3267 * Theory Complete_Lattices: lemmas Inf_eq_top_iff, INF_eq_top_iff,
  3268 INF_image, Inf_insert, INF_top, Inf_top_conv, INF_top_conv, SUP_bot,
  3269 Sup_bot_conv, SUP_bot_conv, Sup_eq_top_iff, SUP_eq_top_iff, SUP_image,
  3270 Sup_insert are now declared as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3271 
  3272 * Theory Lattice: lemmas compl_inf_bot, compl_le_comp_iff,
  3273 compl_sup_top, inf_idem, inf_left_idem, inf_sup_absorb, sup_idem,
  3274 sup_inf_absob, sup_left_idem are now declared as [simp].  Minor
  3275 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3276 
  3277 * Added syntactic classes "inf" and "sup" for the respective
  3278 constants.  INCOMPATIBILITY: Changes in the argument order of the
  3279 (mostly internal) locale predicates for some derived classes.
  3280 
  3281 * Theorem collections ball_simps and bex_simps do not contain theorems
  3282 referring to UNION any longer; these have been moved to collection
  3283 UN_ball_bex_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3284 
  3285 * Theory Archimedean_Field: floor now is defined as parameter of a
  3286 separate type class floor_ceiling.
  3287 
  3288 * Theory Finite_Set: more coherent development of fold_set locales:
  3289 
  3290     locale fun_left_comm ~> locale comp_fun_commute
  3291     locale fun_left_comm_idem ~> locale comp_fun_idem
  3292 
  3293 Both use point-free characterization; interpretation proofs may need
  3294 adjustment.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3295 
  3296 * Theory Limits: Type "'a net" has been renamed to "'a filter", in
  3297 accordance with standard mathematical terminology. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3298 
  3299 * Theory Complex_Main: The locale interpretations for the
  3300 bounded_linear and bounded_bilinear locales have been removed, in
  3301 order to reduce the number of duplicate lemmas. Users must use the
  3302 original names for distributivity theorems, potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3398 * Theory Complex_Main: The definition of infinite series was
  3399 generalized.  Now it is defined on the type class {topological_space,
  3400 comm_monoid_add}.  Hence it is useable also for extended real numbers.
  3401 
  3402 * Theory Complex_Main: The complex exponential function "expi" is now
  3403 a type-constrained abbreviation for "exp :: complex => complex"; thus
  3404 several polymorphic lemmas about "exp" are now applicable to "expi".
  3405 
  3406 * Code generation:
  3407 
  3408   - Theory Library/Code_Char_ord provides native ordering of
  3409     characters in the target language.
  3410 
  3411   - Commands code_module and code_library are legacy, use export_code
  3412     instead.
  3413 
  3414   - Method "evaluation" is legacy, use method "eval" instead.
  3415 
  3416   - Legacy evaluator "SML" is deactivated by default.  May be
  3417     reactivated by the following theory command:
  3418 
  3419       setup {* Value.add_evaluator ("SML", Codegen.eval_term) *}
  3420 
  3421 * Declare ext [intro] by default.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3422 
  3423 * New proof method "induction" that gives induction hypotheses the
  3424 name "IH", thus distinguishing them from further hypotheses that come
  3425 from rule induction.  The latter are still called "hyps".  Method
  3426 "induction" is a thin wrapper around "induct" and follows the same
  3427 syntax.
  3428 
  3429 * Method "fastsimp" has been renamed to "fastforce", but "fastsimp" is
  3430 still available as a legacy feature for some time.
  3431 
  3432 * Nitpick:
  3433   - Added "need" and "total_consts" options.
  3434   - Reintroduced "show_skolems" option by popular demand.
  3435   - Renamed attribute: nitpick_def ~> nitpick_unfold.
  3436     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3437 
  3438 * Sledgehammer:
  3439   - Use quasi-sound (and efficient) translations by default.
  3440   - Added support for the following provers: E-ToFoF, LEO-II,
  3441     Satallax, SNARK, Waldmeister, and Z3 with TPTP syntax.
  3442   - Automatically preplay and minimize proofs before showing them if
  3443     this can be done within reasonable time.
  3444   - sledgehammer available_provers ~> sledgehammer supported_provers.
  3445     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3446   - Added "preplay_timeout", "slicing", "type_enc", "sound",
  3447     "max_mono_iters", and "max_new_mono_instances" options.
  3448   - Removed "explicit_apply" and "full_types" options as well as "Full
  3449     Types" Proof General menu item. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3450 
  3451 * Metis:
  3452   - Removed "metisF" -- use "metis" instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3453   - Obsoleted "metisFT" -- use "metis (full_types)" instead.
  3454     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3455 
  3456 * Command 'try':
  3457   - Renamed 'try_methods' and added "simp:", "intro:", "dest:", and
  3458     "elim:" options. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3459   - Introduced 'try' that not only runs 'try_methods' but also
  3460     'solve_direct', 'sledgehammer', 'quickcheck', and 'nitpick'.
  3461 
  3462 * Quickcheck:
  3463   - Added "eval" option to evaluate terms for the found counterexample
  3464     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  3465   - Added post-processing of terms to obtain readable counterexamples
  3466     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  3467   - New counterexample generator quickcheck[narrowing] enables
  3468     narrowing-based testing.  Requires the Glasgow Haskell compiler
  3469     with its installation location defined in the Isabelle settings
  3470     environment as ISABELLE_GHC.
  3471   - Removed quickcheck tester "SML" based on the SML code generator
  3472     (formly in HOL/Library).
  3473 
  3474 * Function package: discontinued option "tailrec".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  3475 use 'partial_function' instead.
  3476 
  3477 * Theory Library/Extended_Reals replaces now the positive extended
  3478 reals found in probability theory. This file is extended by
  3479 Multivariate_Analysis/Extended_Real_Limits.
  3480 
  3481 * Theory Library/Old_Recdef: old 'recdef' package has been moved here,
  3482 from where it must be imported explicitly if it is really required.
  3483 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3484 
  3485 * Theory Library/Wfrec: well-founded recursion combinator "wfrec" has
  3486 been moved here.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3487 
  3488 * Theory Library/Saturated provides type of numbers with saturated
  3489 arithmetic.
  3490 
  3491 * Theory Library/Product_Lattice defines a pointwise ordering for the
  3492 product type 'a * 'b, and provides instance proofs for various order
  3493 and lattice type classes.
  3494 
  3495 * Theory Library/Countable now provides the "countable_datatype" proof
  3496 method for proving "countable" class instances for datatypes.
  3497 
  3498 * Theory Library/Cset_Monad allows do notation for computable sets
  3499 (cset) via the generic monad ad-hoc overloading facility.
  3500 
  3501 * Library: Theories of common data structures are split into theories
  3502 for implementation, an invariant-ensuring type, and connection to an
  3503 abstract type. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3504 
  3505   - RBT is split into RBT and RBT_Mapping.
  3506   - AssocList is split and renamed into AList and AList_Mapping.
  3507   - DList is split into DList_Impl, DList, and DList_Cset.
  3508   - Cset is split into Cset and List_Cset.
  3509 
  3510 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity has been renamed to
  3511 Library/Extended_Nat, with name changes of the following types and
  3512 constants:
  3513 
  3514   type inat   ~> type enat
  3515   Fin         ~> enat
  3516   Infty       ~> infinity (overloaded)
  3517   iSuc        ~> eSuc
  3518   the_Fin     ~> the_enat
  3519 
  3520 Every theorem name containing "inat", "Fin", "Infty", or "iSuc" has
  3521 been renamed accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3522 
  3523 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: The euclidean_space type class now
  3524 fixes a constant "Basis :: 'a set" consisting of the standard
  3525 orthonormal basis for the type. Users now have the option of
  3526 quantifying over this set instead of using the "basis" function, e.g.
  3527 "ALL x:Basis. P x" vs "ALL i<DIM('a). P (basis i)".
  3528 
  3529 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Type "('a, 'b) cart" has been renamed
  3530 to "('a, 'b) vec" (the syntax "'a ^ 'b" remains unaffected). Constants
  3531 "Cart_nth" and "Cart_lambda" have been respectively renamed to
  3532 "vec_nth" and "vec_lambda"; theorems mentioning those names have
  3533 changed to match. Definition theorems for overloaded constants now use
  3534 the standard "foo_vec_def" naming scheme. A few other theorems have
  3535 been renamed as follows (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  3536 
  3537   Cart_eq          ~> vec_eq_iff
  3538   dist_nth_le_cart ~> dist_vec_nth_le
  3539   tendsto_vector   ~> vec_tendstoI
  3540   Cauchy_vector    ~> vec_CauchyI
  3541 
  3542 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Several duplicate theorems have been
  3543 removed, and other theorems have been renamed or replaced with more
  3544 general versions. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3598 * Session HOL-Probability:
  3599   - Caratheodory's extension lemma is now proved for ring_of_sets.
  3600   - Infinite products of probability measures are now available.
  3601   - Sigma closure is independent, if the generator is independent
  3602   - Use extended reals instead of positive extended
  3603     reals. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3635 
  3636 * Antiquotation @{rail} layouts railroad syntax diagrams, see also
  3637 isar-ref manual, both for description and actual application of the
  3638 same.
  3639 
  3640 * Antiquotation @{value} evaluates the given term and presents its
  3641 result.
  3642 
  3643 * Antiquotations: term style "isub" provides ad-hoc conversion of
  3644 variables x1, y23 into subscripted form x\<^isub>1,
  3645 y\<^isub>2\<^isub>3.
  3646 
  3647 * Predefined LaTeX macros for Isabelle symbols \<bind> and \<then>
  3648 (e.g. see ~~/src/HOL/Library/Monad_Syntax.thy).
  3649 
  3650 * Localized \isabellestyle switch can be used within blocks or groups
  3651 like this:
  3652 
  3653   \isabellestyle{it}  %preferred default
  3654   {\isabellestylett @{text "typewriter stuff"}}
  3655 
  3656 * Discontinued special treatment of hard tabulators.  Implicit
  3657 tab-width is now defined as 1.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for visual
  3658 layouts.
  3659 
  3660 
  3661 *** ML ***
  3662 
  3663 * The inner syntax of sort/type/term/prop supports inlined YXML
  3664 representations within quoted string tokens.  By encoding logical
  3665 entities via Term_XML (in ML or Scala) concrete syntax can be
  3666 bypassed, which is particularly useful for producing bits of text
  3667 under external program control.
  3668 
  3669 * Antiquotations for ML and document preparation are managed as theory
  3670 data, which requires explicit setup.
  3671 
  3672 * Isabelle_Process.is_active allows tools to check if the official
  3673 process wrapper is running (Isabelle/Scala/jEdit) or the old TTY loop
  3674 (better known as Proof General).
  3675 
  3676 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  3677 ProofContext is still available for some time as legacy alias.
  3678 
  3679 * Structure Timing provides various operations for timing; supersedes
  3680 former start_timing/end_timing etc.
  3681 
  3682 * Path.print is the official way to show file-system paths to users
  3683 (including quotes etc.).
  3684 
  3685 * Inner syntax: identifiers in parse trees of generic categories
  3686 "logic", "aprop", "idt" etc. carry position information (disguised as
  3687 type constraints).  Occasional INCOMPATIBILITY with non-compliant
  3688 translations that choke on unexpected type constraints.  Positions can
  3689 be stripped in ML translations via Syntax.strip_positions /
  3690 Syntax.strip_positions_ast, or via the syntax constant
  3691 "_strip_positions" within parse trees.  As last resort, positions can
  3692 be disabled via the configuration option Syntax.positions, which is
  3693 called "syntax_positions" in Isar attribute syntax.
  3694 
  3695 * Discontinued special status of various ML structures that contribute
  3696 to structure Syntax (Ast, Lexicon, Mixfix, Parser, Printer etc.): less
  3697 pervasive content, no inclusion in structure Syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  3698 refer directly to Ast.Constant, Lexicon.is_identifier,
  3699 Syntax_Trans.mk_binder_tr etc.
  3700 
  3701 * Typed print translation: discontinued show_sorts argument, which is
  3702 already available via context of "advanced" translation.
  3703 
  3704 * Refined PARALLEL_GOALS tactical: degrades gracefully for schematic
  3705 goal states; body tactic needs to address all subgoals uniformly.
  3706 
  3707 * Slightly more special eq_list/eq_set, with shortcut involving
  3708 pointer equality (assumes that eq relation is reflexive).
  3709 
  3710 * Classical tactics use proper Proof.context instead of historic types
  3711 claset/clasimpset.  Old-style declarations like addIs, addEs, addDs
  3712 operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type claset retains its use as
  3713 snapshot of the classical context, which can be recovered via
  3714 (put_claset HOL_cs) etc.  Type clasimpset has been discontinued.
  3715 INCOMPATIBILITY, classical tactics and derived proof methods require
  3716 proper Proof.context.
  3717 
  3718 
  3719 *** System ***
  3720 
  3721 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2, which was the last version
  3722 without proper multithreading and TimeLimit implementation.
  3723 
  3724 * Discontinued old lib/scripts/polyml-platform, which has been
  3725 obsolete since Isabelle2009-2.
  3726 
  3727 * Various optional external tools are referenced more robustly and
  3728 uniformly by explicit Isabelle settings as follows:
  3729 
  3730   ISABELLE_CSDP   (formerly CSDP_EXE)
  3731   ISABELLE_GHC    (formerly EXEC_GHC or GHC_PATH)
  3732   ISABELLE_OCAML  (formerly EXEC_OCAML)
  3733   ISABELLE_SWIPL  (formerly EXEC_SWIPL)
  3734   ISABELLE_YAP    (formerly EXEC_YAP)
  3735 
  3736 Note that automated detection from the file-system or search path has
  3737 been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3738 
  3739 * Scala layer provides JVM method invocation service for static
  3740 methods of type (String)String, see Invoke_Scala.method in ML.  For
  3741 example:
  3742 
  3743   Invoke_Scala.method "java.lang.System.getProperty" "java.home"
  3744 
  3745 Together with YXML.string_of_body/parse_body and XML.Encode/Decode
  3746 this allows to pass structured values between ML and Scala.
  3747 
  3748 * The IsabelleText fonts includes some further glyphs to support the
  3749 Prover IDE.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: users who happen to have
  3750 installed a local copy (which is normally *not* required) need to
  3751 delete or update it from ~~/lib/fonts/.
  3752 
  3753 
  3754 
  3755 New in Isabelle2011 (January 2011)
  3756 ----------------------------------
  3757 
  3758 *** General ***
  3759 
  3760 * Experimental Prover IDE based on Isabelle/Scala and jEdit (see
  3761 src/Tools/jEdit).  This also serves as IDE for Isabelle/ML, with
  3762 useful tooltips and hyperlinks produced from its static analysis.  The
  3763 bundled component provides an executable Isabelle tool that can be run
  3764 like this:
  3765 
  3766   Isabelle2011/bin/isabelle jedit
  3767 
  3768 * Significantly improved Isabelle/Isar implementation manual.
  3769 
  3770 * System settings: ISABELLE_HOME_USER now includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER
  3771 (and thus refers to something like $HOME/.isabelle/Isabelle2011),
  3772 while the default heap location within that directory lacks that extra
  3773 suffix.  This isolates multiple Isabelle installations from each
  3774 other, avoiding problems with old settings in new versions.
  3775 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to copy/upgrade old user settings manually.
  3776 
  3777 * Source files are always encoded as UTF-8, instead of old-fashioned
  3778 ISO-Latin-1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Isabelle LaTeX documents might require
  3779 the following package declarations:
  3780 
  3781   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
  3782   \usepackage{textcomp}
  3783 
  3784 * Explicit treatment of UTF-8 sequences as Isabelle symbols, such that
  3785 a Unicode character is treated as a single symbol, not a sequence of
  3786 non-ASCII bytes as before.  Since Isabelle/ML string literals may
  3787 contain symbols without further backslash escapes, Unicode can now be
  3788 used here as well.  Recall that Symbol.explode in ML provides a
  3789 consistent view on symbols, while raw explode (or String.explode)
  3790 merely give a byte-oriented representation.
  3791 
  3792 * Theory loader: source files are primarily located via the master
  3793 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  3794 The global load path is still partially available as legacy feature.
  3795 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY due to subtle change in file lookup: use
  3796 explicit paths, relatively to the theory.
  3797 
  3798 * Special treatment of ML file names has been discontinued.
  3799 Historically, optional extensions .ML or .sml were added on demand --
  3800 at the cost of clarity of file dependencies.  Recall that Isabelle/ML
  3801 files exclusively use the .ML extension.  Minor INCOMPATIBILTY.
  3802 
  3803 * Various options that affect pretty printing etc. are now properly
  3804 handled within the context via configuration options, instead of
  3805 unsynchronized references or print modes.  There are both ML Config.T
  3806 entities and Isar declaration attributes to access these.
  3807 
  3808   ML (Config.T)                 Isar (attribute)
  3809 
  3810   eta_contract                  eta_contract

  3820   Syntax.ambiguity_level        syntax_ambiguity_level
  3821 
  3822   Goal_Display.goals_limit      goals_limit
  3823   Goal_Display.show_main_goal   show_main_goal
  3824 
  3825   Method.rule_trace             rule_trace
  3826 
  3827   Thy_Output.display            thy_output_display
  3828   Thy_Output.quotes             thy_output_quotes
  3829   Thy_Output.indent             thy_output_indent
  3830   Thy_Output.source             thy_output_source
  3831   Thy_Output.break              thy_output_break
  3832 
  3833 Note that corresponding "..._default" references in ML may only be
  3834 changed globally at the ROOT session setup, but *not* within a theory.
  3835 The option "show_abbrevs" supersedes the former print mode
  3836 "no_abbrevs" with inverted meaning.
  3837 
  3838 * More systematic naming of some configuration options.
  3839 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3840 
  3841   trace_simp  ~>  simp_trace
  3842   debug_simp  ~>  simp_debug
  3843 
  3844 * Support for real valued configuration options, using simplistic
  3845 floating-point notation that coincides with the inner syntax for
  3846 float_token.
  3847 
  3848 * Support for real valued preferences (with approximative PGIP type):
  3849 front-ends need to accept "pgint" values in float notation.
  3850 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3851 
  3852 * The IsabelleText font now includes Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic from
  3853 DejaVu Sans.
  3854 
  3855 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.0 and 5.1 versions.
  3856 
  3857 
  3858 *** Pure ***
  3859 
  3860 * Command 'type_synonym' (with single argument) replaces somewhat
  3861 outdated 'types', which is still available as legacy feature for some
  3862 time.
  3863 
  3864 * Command 'nonterminal' (with 'and' separated list of arguments)
  3865 replaces somewhat outdated 'nonterminals'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3866 
  3867 * Command 'notepad' replaces former 'example_proof' for
  3868 experimentation in Isar without any result.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3869 
  3870 * Locale interpretation commands 'interpret' and 'sublocale' accept
  3871 lists of equations to map definitions in a locale to appropriate
  3872 entities in the context of the interpretation.  The 'interpretation'
  3873 command already provided this functionality.
  3874 
  3875 * Diagnostic command 'print_dependencies' prints the locale instances
  3876 that would be activated if the specified expression was interpreted in
  3877 the current context.  Variant "print_dependencies!" assumes a context
  3878 without interpretations.
  3879 
  3880 * Diagnostic command 'print_interps' prints interpretations in proofs
  3881 in addition to interpretations in theories.
  3882 
  3883 * Discontinued obsolete 'global' and 'local' commands to manipulate
  3884 the theory name space.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.  The ML functions
  3885 Sign.root_path and Sign.local_path may be applied directly where this
  3886 feature is still required for historical reasons.
  3887 
  3888 * Discontinued obsolete 'constdefs' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  3889 'definition' instead.
  3890 
  3891 * The "prems" fact, which refers to the accidental collection of
  3892 foundational premises in the context, is now explicitly marked as
  3893 legacy feature and will be discontinued soon.  Consider using "assms"
  3894 of the head statement or reference facts by explicit names.
  3895 
  3896 * Document antiquotations @{class} and @{type} print classes and type
  3897 constructors.
  3898 
  3899 * Document antiquotation @{file} checks file/directory entries within
  3900 the local file system.
  3901 
  3902 
  3903 *** HOL ***
  3904 
  3905 * Coercive subtyping: functions can be declared as coercions and type
  3906 inference will add them as necessary upon input of a term.  Theory
  3907 Complex_Main declares real :: nat => real and real :: int => real as
  3908 coercions. A coercion function f is declared like this:
  3909 
  3910   declare [[coercion f]]
  3911 
  3912 To lift coercions through type constructors (e.g. from nat => real to
  3913 nat list => real list), map functions can be declared, e.g.
  3914 
  3915   declare [[coercion_map map]]
  3916 
  3917 Currently coercion inference is activated only in theories including
  3918 real numbers, i.e. descendants of Complex_Main.  This is controlled by
  3919 the configuration option "coercion_enabled", e.g. it can be enabled in
  3920 other theories like this:
  3921 
  3922   declare [[coercion_enabled]]
  3923 
  3924 * Command 'partial_function' provides basic support for recursive
  3925 function definitions over complete partial orders.  Concrete instances
  3926 are provided for i) the option type, ii) tail recursion on arbitrary
  3927 types, and iii) the heap monad of Imperative_HOL.  See
  3928 src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy and src/HOL/Imperative_HOL/ex/Linked_Lists.thy
  3929 for examples.
  3930 
  3931 * Function package: f.psimps rules are no longer implicitly declared
  3932 as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3933 
  3934 * Datatype package: theorems generated for executable equality (class
  3935 "eq") carry proper names and are treated as default code equations.
  3936 
  3937 * Inductive package: now offers command 'inductive_simps' to
  3938 automatically derive instantiated and simplified equations for
  3939 inductive predicates, similar to 'inductive_cases'.
  3940 
  3941 * Command 'enriched_type' allows to register properties of the
  3942 functorial structure of types.
  3943 
  3944 * Improved infrastructure for term evaluation using code generator
  3945 techniques, in particular static evaluation conversions.
  3946 
  3947 * Code generator: Scala (2.8 or higher) has been added to the target
  3948 languages.
  3949 
  3950 * Code generator: globbing constant expressions "*" and "Theory.*"
  3951 have been replaced by the more idiomatic "_" and "Theory._".
  3952 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3953 
  3954 * Code generator: export_code without explicit file declaration prints
  3955 to standard output.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3956 
  3957 * Code generator: do not print function definitions for case
  3958 combinators any longer.
  3959 
  3960 * Code generator: simplification with rules determined with
  3961 src/Tools/Code/code_simp.ML and method "code_simp".
  3962 
  3963 * Code generator for records: more idiomatic representation of record
  3964 types.  Warning: records are not covered by ancient SML code
  3965 generation any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  In cases of need, a suitable
  3966 rep_datatype declaration helps to succeed then:
  3967 
  3968   record 'a foo = ...
  3969   ...
  3970   rep_datatype foo_ext ...
  3971 
  3972 * Records: logical foundation type for records does not carry a
  3973 '_type' suffix any longer (obsolete due to authentic syntax).
  3974 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3975 
  3976 * Quickcheck now by default uses exhaustive testing instead of random
  3977 testing.  Random testing can be invoked by "quickcheck [random]",
  3978 exhaustive testing by "quickcheck [exhaustive]".
  3979 
  3980 * Quickcheck instantiates polymorphic types with small finite
  3981 datatypes by default. This enables a simple execution mechanism to
  3982 handle quantifiers and function equality over the finite datatypes.
  3983 
  3984 * Quickcheck random generator has been renamed from "code" to
  3985 "random".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3986 
  3987 * Quickcheck now has a configurable time limit which is set to 30
  3988 seconds by default. This can be changed by adding [timeout = n] to the
  3989 quickcheck command. The time limit for Auto Quickcheck is still set
  3990 independently.
  3991 
  3992 * Quickcheck in locales considers interpretations of that locale for
  3993 counter example search.
  3994 
  3995 * Sledgehammer:
  3996   - Added "smt" and "remote_smt" provers based on the "smt" proof
  3997     method. See the Sledgehammer manual for details ("isabelle doc
  3998     sledgehammer").
  3999   - Renamed commands:
  4000     sledgehammer atp_info ~> sledgehammer running_provers
  4001     sledgehammer atp_kill ~> sledgehammer kill_provers
  4002     sledgehammer available_atps ~> sledgehammer available_provers
  4003     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4004   - Renamed options:
  4005     sledgehammer [atps = ...] ~> sledgehammer [provers = ...]
  4006     sledgehammer [atp = ...] ~> sledgehammer [prover = ...]
  4007     sledgehammer [timeout = 77 s] ~> sledgehammer [timeout = 77]
  4008     (and "ms" and "min" are no longer supported)
  4009     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4010 
  4011 * Nitpick:
  4012   - Renamed options:
  4013     nitpick [timeout = 77 s] ~> nitpick [timeout = 77]
  4014     nitpick [tac_timeout = 777 ms] ~> nitpick [tac_timeout = 0.777]
  4015     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4016   - Added support for partial quotient types.
  4017   - Added local versions of the "Nitpick.register_xxx" functions.
  4018   - Added "whack" option.
  4019   - Allow registration of quotient types as codatatypes.
  4020   - Improved "merge_type_vars" option to merge more types.
  4021   - Removed unsound "fast_descrs" option.
  4022   - Added custom symmetry breaking for datatypes, making it possible to reach
  4023     higher cardinalities.
  4024   - Prevent the expansion of too large definitions.
  4025 
  4026 * Proof methods "metis" and "meson" now have configuration options
  4027 "meson_trace", "metis_trace", and "metis_verbose" that can be enabled
  4028 to diagnose these tools. E.g.
  4029 
  4030     using [[metis_trace = true]]
  4031 
  4032 * Auto Solve: Renamed "Auto Solve Direct".  The tool is now available
  4033 manually as command 'solve_direct'.
  4034 
  4035 * The default SMT solver Z3 must be enabled explicitly (due to
  4036 licensing issues) by setting the environment variable
  4037 Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL in etc/settings of the component, for example.  For
  4038 commercial applications, the SMT solver CVC3 is provided as fall-back;
  4039 changing the SMT solver is done via the configuration option
  4040 "smt_solver".
  4041 
  4042 * Remote SMT solvers need to be referred to by the "remote_" prefix,
  4043 i.e. "remote_cvc3" and "remote_z3".
  4044 
  4045 * Added basic SMT support for datatypes, records, and typedefs using
  4046 the oracle mode (no proofs).  Direct support of pairs has been dropped
  4047 in exchange (pass theorems fst_conv snd_conv pair_collapse to the SMT
  4048 support for a similar behavior).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4049 
  4050 * Changed SMT configuration options:
  4051   - Renamed:
  4052     z3_proofs ~> smt_oracle (with inverted meaning)
  4053     z3_trace_assms ~> smt_trace_used_facts
  4054     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4055   - Added:
  4056     smt_verbose
  4057     smt_random_seed
  4058     smt_datatypes
  4059     smt_infer_triggers
  4060     smt_monomorph_limit
  4061     cvc3_options
  4062     remote_cvc3_options
  4063     remote_z3_options
  4064     yices_options
  4065 
  4066 * Boogie output files (.b2i files) need to be declared in the theory
  4067 header.
  4068 
  4069 * Simplification procedure "list_to_set_comprehension" rewrites list
  4070 comprehensions applied to List.set to set comprehensions.  Occasional
  4071 INCOMPATIBILITY, may be deactivated like this:
  4072 
  4073   declare [[simproc del: list_to_set_comprehension]]
  4074 
  4075 * Removed old version of primrec package.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4076 
  4077 * Removed simplifier congruence rule of "prod_case", as has for long
  4078 been the case with "split".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4079 
  4080 * String.literal is a type, but not a datatype.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4081 
  4082 * Removed [split_format ... and ... and ...] version of
  4083 [split_format].  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4084 
  4085 * Predicate "sorted" now defined inductively, with nice induction
  4086 rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY: former sorted.simps now named sorted_simps.
  4087 
  4088 * Constant "contents" renamed to "the_elem", to free the generic name
  4089 contents for other uses.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4090 
  4091 * Renamed class eq and constant eq (for code generation) to class
  4092 equal and constant equal, plus renaming of related facts and various
  4093 tuning.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4094 
  4095 * Dropped type classes mult_mono and mult_mono1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4096 
  4097 * Removed output syntax "'a ~=> 'b" for "'a => 'b option".
  4098 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4099 
  4100 * Renamed theory Fset to Cset, type Fset.fset to Cset.set, in order to
  4101 avoid confusion with finite sets.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4102 
  4103 * Abandoned locales equiv, congruent and congruent2 for equivalence
  4104 relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use equivI rather than equiv_intro (same
  4105 for congruent(2)).
  4106 
  4107 * Some previously unqualified names have been qualified:
  4108 
  4109   types
  4110     bool ~> HOL.bool
  4111     nat ~> Nat.nat
  4112 
  4113   constants
  4114     Trueprop ~> HOL.Trueprop
  4115     True ~> HOL.True
  4116     False ~> HOL.False
  4117     op & ~> HOL.conj
  4118     op | ~> HOL.disj
  4119     op --> ~> HOL.implies
  4120     op = ~> HOL.eq
  4121     Not ~> HOL.Not
  4122     The ~> HOL.The
  4123     All ~> HOL.All
  4124     Ex ~> HOL.Ex
  4125     Ex1 ~> HOL.Ex1
  4126     Let ~> HOL.Let
  4127     If ~> HOL.If
  4128     Ball ~> Set.Ball
  4129     Bex ~> Set.Bex
  4130     Suc ~> Nat.Suc
  4131     Pair ~> Product_Type.Pair
  4132     fst ~> Product_Type.fst
  4133     snd ~> Product_Type.snd
  4134     curry ~> Product_Type.curry
  4135     op : ~> Set.member
  4136     Collect ~> Set.Collect
  4137 
  4138 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4139 
  4140 * More canonical naming convention for some fundamental definitions:
  4141 
  4142     bot_bool_eq ~> bot_bool_def
  4143     top_bool_eq ~> top_bool_def

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

  4442 
  4443 *** FOL and ZF ***
  4444 
  4445 * All constant names are now qualified internally and use proper
  4446 identifiers, e.g. "IFOL.eq" instead of "op =".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4447 
  4448 
  4449 *** ML ***
  4450 
  4451 * Antiquotation @{assert} inlines a function bool -> unit that raises
  4452 Fail if the argument is false.  Due to inlining the source position of
  4453 failed assertions is included in the error output.
  4454 
  4455 * Discontinued antiquotation @{theory_ref}, which is obsolete since ML
  4456 text is in practice always evaluated with a stable theory checkpoint.
  4457 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use (Theory.check_thy @{theory}) instead.
  4458 
  4459 * Antiquotation @{theory A} refers to theory A from the ancestry of
  4460 the current context, not any accidental theory loader state as before.
  4461 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, subtle change in semantics.
  4462 
  4463 * Syntax.pretty_priority (default 0) configures the required priority
  4464 of pretty-printed output and thus affects insertion of parentheses.
  4465 
  4466 * Syntax.default_root (default "any") configures the inner syntax
  4467 category (nonterminal symbol) for parsing of terms.
  4468 
  4469 * Former exception Library.UnequalLengths now coincides with
  4470 ListPair.UnequalLengths.
  4471 
  4472 * Renamed structure MetaSimplifier to Raw_Simplifier.  Note that the
  4473 main functionality is provided by structure Simplifier.
  4474 
  4475 * Renamed raw "explode" function to "raw_explode" to emphasize its
  4476 meaning.  Note that internally to Isabelle, Symbol.explode is used in
  4477 almost all situations.
  4478 
  4479 * Discontinued obsolete function sys_error and exception SYS_ERROR.
  4480 See implementation manual for further details on exceptions in
  4481 Isabelle/ML.
  4482 
  4483 * Renamed setmp_noncritical to Unsynchronized.setmp to emphasize its
  4484 meaning.
  4485 
  4486 * Renamed structure PureThy to Pure_Thy and moved most of its
  4487 operations to structure Global_Theory, to emphasize that this is
  4488 rarely-used global-only stuff.
  4489 
  4490 * Discontinued Output.debug.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use plain writeln
  4491 instead (or tracing for high-volume output).
  4492 
  4493 * Configuration option show_question_marks only affects regular pretty
  4494 printing of types and terms, not raw Term.string_of_vname.
  4495 
  4496 * ML_Context.thm and ML_Context.thms are no longer pervasive.  Rare
  4497 INCOMPATIBILITY, superseded by static antiquotations @{thm} and
  4498 @{thms} for most purposes.
  4499 
  4500 * ML structure Unsynchronized is never opened, not even in Isar
  4501 interaction mode as before.  Old Unsynchronized.set etc. have been
  4502 discontinued -- use plain := instead.  This should be *rare* anyway,
  4503 since modern tools always work via official context data, notably
  4504 configuration options.
  4505 
  4506 * Parallel and asynchronous execution requires special care concerning
  4507 interrupts.  Structure Exn provides some convenience functions that
  4508 avoid working directly with raw Interrupt.  User code must not absorb
  4509 interrupts -- intermediate handling (for cleanup etc.) needs to be
  4510 followed by re-raising of the original exception.  Another common
  4511 source of mistakes are "handle _" patterns, which make the meaning of
  4512 the program subject to physical effects of the environment.

  4515 
  4516 New in Isabelle2009-2 (June 2010)
  4517 ---------------------------------
  4518 
  4519 *** General ***
  4520 
  4521 * Authentic syntax for *all* logical entities (type classes, type
  4522 constructors, term constants): provides simple and robust
  4523 correspondence between formal entities and concrete syntax.  Within
  4524 the parse tree / AST representations, "constants" are decorated by
  4525 their category (class, type, const) and spelled out explicitly with
  4526 their full internal name.
  4527 
  4528 Substantial INCOMPATIBILITY concerning low-level syntax declarations
  4529 and translations (translation rules and translation functions in ML).
  4530 Some hints on upgrading:
  4531 
  4532   - Many existing uses of 'syntax' and 'translations' can be replaced
  4533     by more modern 'type_notation', 'notation' and 'abbreviation',
  4534     which are independent of this issue.
  4535 
  4536   - 'translations' require markup within the AST; the term syntax
  4537     provides the following special forms:
  4538 
  4539       CONST c   -- produces syntax version of constant c from context
  4540       XCONST c  -- literally c, checked as constant from context
  4541       c         -- literally c, if declared by 'syntax'
  4542 
  4543     Plain identifiers are treated as AST variables -- occasionally the
  4544     system indicates accidental variables via the error "rhs contains
  4545     extra variables".
  4546 
  4547     Type classes and type constructors are marked according to their
  4548     concrete syntax.  Some old translations rules need to be written
  4549     for the "type" category, using type constructor application
  4550     instead of pseudo-term application of the default category
  4551     "logic".
  4552 
  4553   - 'parse_translation' etc. in ML may use the following
  4554     antiquotations:
  4555 
  4556       @{class_syntax c}   -- type class c within parse tree / AST
  4557       @{term_syntax c}    -- type constructor c within parse tree / AST
  4558       @{const_syntax c}   -- ML version of "CONST c" above
  4559       @{syntax_const c}   -- literally c (checked wrt. 'syntax' declarations)
  4560 
  4561   - Literal types within 'typed_print_translations', i.e. those *not*
  4562     represented as pseudo-terms are represented verbatim.  Use @{class
  4563     c} or @{type_name c} here instead of the above syntax
  4564     antiquotations.
  4565 
  4566 Note that old non-authentic syntax was based on unqualified base
  4567 names, so all of the above "constant" names would coincide.  Recall
  4568 that 'print_syntax' and ML_command "set Syntax.trace_ast" help to
  4569 diagnose syntax problems.
  4570 
  4571 * Type constructors admit general mixfix syntax, not just infix.
  4572 
  4573 * Concrete syntax may be attached to local entities without a proof
  4574 body, too.  This works via regular mixfix annotations for 'fix',
  4575 'def', 'obtain' etc. or via the explicit 'write' command, which is
  4576 similar to the 'notation' command in theory specifications.
  4577 
  4578 * Discontinued unnamed infix syntax (legacy feature for many years) --
  4579 need to specify constant name and syntax separately.  Internal ML
  4580 datatype constructors have been renamed from InfixName to Infix etc.
  4581 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4582 
  4583 * Schematic theorem statements need to be explicitly markup as such,
  4584 via commands 'schematic_lemma', 'schematic_theorem',
  4585 'schematic_corollary'.  Thus the relevance of the proof is made
  4586 syntactically clear, which impacts performance in a parallel or
  4587 asynchronous interactive environment.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4588 
  4589 * Use of cumulative prems via "!" in some proof methods has been
  4590 discontinued (old legacy feature).
  4591 
  4592 * References 'trace_simp' and 'debug_simp' have been replaced by
  4593 configuration options stored in the context. Enabling tracing (the
  4594 case of debugging is similar) in proofs works via
  4595 
  4596   using [[trace_simp = true]]
  4597 
  4598 Tracing is then active for all invocations of the simplifier in
  4599 subsequent goal refinement steps. Tracing may also still be enabled or
  4600 disabled via the ProofGeneral settings menu.
  4601 
  4602 * Separate commands 'hide_class', 'hide_type', 'hide_const',
  4603 'hide_fact' replace the former 'hide' KIND command.  Minor
  4604 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4605 
  4606 * Improved parallelism of proof term normalization: usedir -p2 -q0 is
  4607 more efficient than combinations with -q1 or -q2.
  4608 
  4609 
  4610 *** Pure ***
  4611 
  4612 * Proofterms record type-class reasoning explicitly, using the
  4613 "unconstrain" operation internally.  This eliminates all sort
  4614 constraints from a theorem and proof, introducing explicit
  4615 OFCLASS-premises.  On the proof term level, this operation is
  4616 automatically applied at theorem boundaries, such that closed proofs
  4617 are always free of sort constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools that
  4618 inspect proof terms.
  4619 
  4620 * Local theory specifications may depend on extra type variables that
  4621 are not present in the result type -- arguments TYPE('a) :: 'a itself
  4622 are added internally.  For example:
  4623 
  4624   definition unitary :: bool where "unitary = (ALL (x::'a) y. x = y)"
  4625 
  4626 * Predicates of locales introduced by classes carry a mandatory
  4627 "class" prefix.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4628 
  4629 * Vacuous class specifications observe default sort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4630 
  4631 * Old 'axclass' command has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  4632 'class' instead.
  4633 
  4634 * Command 'code_reflect' allows to incorporate generated ML code into
  4635 runtime environment; replaces immature code_datatype antiquotation.
  4636 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4637 
  4638 * Code generator: simple concept for abstract datatypes obeying
  4639 invariants.
  4640 
  4641 * Code generator: details of internal data cache have no impact on the
  4642 user space functionality any longer.
  4643 
  4644 * Methods "unfold_locales" and "intro_locales" ignore non-locale
  4645 subgoals.  This is more appropriate for interpretations with 'where'.
  4646 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4647 
  4648 * Command 'example_proof' opens an empty proof body.  This allows to
  4649 experiment with Isar, without producing any persistent result.
  4650 
  4651 * Commands 'type_notation' and 'no_type_notation' declare type syntax
  4652 within a local theory context, with explicit checking of the
  4653 constructors involved (in contrast to the raw 'syntax' versions).
  4654 
  4655 * Commands 'types' and 'typedecl' now work within a local theory
  4656 context -- without introducing dependencies on parameters or
  4657 assumptions, which is not possible in Isabelle/Pure.
  4658 
  4659 * Command 'defaultsort' has been renamed to 'default_sort', it works
  4660 within a local theory context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4661 
  4662 
  4663 *** HOL ***
  4664 
  4665 * Command 'typedef' now works within a local theory context -- without
  4666 introducing dependencies on parameters or assumptions, which is not
  4667 possible in Isabelle/Pure/HOL.  Note that the logical environment may
  4668 contain multiple interpretations of local typedefs (with different
  4669 non-emptiness proofs), even in a global theory context.
  4670 
  4671 * New package for quotient types.  Commands 'quotient_type' and
  4672 'quotient_definition' may be used for defining types and constants by
  4673 quotient constructions.  An example is the type of integers created by
  4674 quotienting pairs of natural numbers:
  4675 
  4676   fun
  4677     intrel :: "(nat * nat) => (nat * nat) => bool"
  4678   where
  4679     "intrel (x, y) (u, v) = (x + v = u + y)"
  4680 
  4681   quotient_type int = "nat * nat" / intrel
  4682     by (auto simp add: equivp_def expand_fun_eq)
  4683 
  4684   quotient_definition
  4685     "0::int" is "(0::nat, 0::nat)"
  4686 
  4687 The method "lifting" can be used to lift of theorems from the
  4688 underlying "raw" type to the quotient type.  The example
  4689 src/HOL/Quotient_Examples/FSet.thy includes such a quotient
  4690 construction and provides a reasoning infrastructure for finite sets.
  4691 
  4692 * Renamed Library/Quotient.thy to Library/Quotient_Type.thy to avoid
  4693 clash with new theory Quotient in Main HOL.
  4694 
  4695 * Moved the SMT binding into the main HOL session, eliminating
  4696 separate HOL-SMT session.
  4697 
  4698 * List membership infix mem operation is only an input abbreviation.
  4699 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4700 
  4701 * Theory Library/Word.thy has been removed.  Use library Word/Word.thy
  4702 for future developements; former Library/Word.thy is still present in
  4703 the AFP entry RSAPPS.
  4704 
  4705 * Theorem Int.int_induct renamed to Int.int_of_nat_induct and is no
  4706 longer shadowed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4707 
  4708 * Dropped theorem duplicate comp_arith; use semiring_norm instead.
  4709 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4710 
  4711 * Dropped theorem RealPow.real_sq_order; use power2_le_imp_le instead.
  4712 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4713 
  4714 * Dropped normalizing_semiring etc; use the facts in semiring classes
  4715 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4716 
  4717 * Dropped several real-specific versions of lemmas about floor and
  4718 ceiling; use the generic lemmas from theory "Archimedean_Field"
  4719 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4751 
  4752 * Theory "Finite_Set": various folding_XXX locales facilitate the
  4753 application of the various fold combinators on finite sets.
  4754 
  4755 * Library theory "RBT" renamed to "RBT_Impl"; new library theory "RBT"
  4756 provides abstract red-black tree type which is backed by "RBT_Impl" as
  4757 implementation.  INCOMPATIBILTY.
  4758 
  4759 * Theory Library/Coinductive_List has been removed -- superseded by
  4760 AFP/thys/Coinductive.
  4761 
  4762 * Theory PReal, including the type "preal" and related operations, has
  4763 been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4764 
  4765 * Real: new development using Cauchy Sequences.
  4766 
  4767 * Split off theory "Big_Operators" containing setsum, setprod,
  4768 Inf_fin, Sup_fin, Min, Max from theory Finite_Set.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4769 
  4770 * Theory "Rational" renamed to "Rat", for consistency with "Nat",
  4771 "Int" etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4772 
  4773 * Constant Rat.normalize needs to be qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4774 
  4775 * New set of rules "ac_simps" provides combined assoc / commute
  4776 rewrites for all interpretations of the appropriate generic locales.
  4777 
  4778 * Renamed theory "OrderedGroup" to "Groups" and split theory
  4779 "Ring_and_Field" into theories "Rings" and "Fields"; for more
  4780 appropriate and more consistent names suitable for name prefixes
  4781 within the HOL theories.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4782 
  4783 * Some generic constants have been put to appropriate theories:
  4784   - less_eq, less: Orderings
  4785   - zero, one, plus, minus, uminus, times, abs, sgn: Groups
  4786   - inverse, divide: Rings
  4787 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4788 
  4789 * More consistent naming of type classes involving orderings (and
  4790 lattices):
  4791 
  4792     lower_semilattice                   ~> semilattice_inf

  4828     ordered_semiring_strict             ~> linordered_semiring_strict
  4829 
  4830   The following slightly odd type classes have been moved to a
  4831   separate theory Library/Lattice_Algebras:
  4832 
  4833     lordered_ab_group_add               ~> lattice_ab_group_add
  4834     lordered_ab_group_add_abs           ~> lattice_ab_group_add_abs
  4835     lordered_ab_group_add_meet          ~> semilattice_inf_ab_group_add
  4836     lordered_ab_group_add_join          ~> semilattice_sup_ab_group_add
  4837     lordered_ring                       ~> lattice_ring
  4838 
  4839 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4840 
  4841 * Refined field classes:
  4842   - classes division_ring_inverse_zero, field_inverse_zero,
  4843     linordered_field_inverse_zero include rule inverse 0 = 0 --
  4844     subsumes former division_by_zero class;
  4845   - numerous lemmas have been ported from field to division_ring.
  4846 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4847 
  4848 * Refined algebra theorem collections:
  4849   - dropped theorem group group_simps, use algebra_simps instead;
  4850   - dropped theorem group ring_simps, use field_simps instead;
  4851   - proper theorem collection field_simps subsumes former theorem
  4852     groups field_eq_simps and field_simps;
  4853   - dropped lemma eq_minus_self_iff which is a duplicate for
  4854     equal_neg_zero.
  4855 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4856 
  4857 * Theory Finite_Set and List: some lemmas have been generalized from
  4858 sets to lattices:
  4859 
  4860   fun_left_comm_idem_inter      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_inf
  4861   fun_left_comm_idem_union      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_sup
  4862   inter_Inter_fold_inter        ~> inf_Inf_fold_inf

  4869   UNION_fold_union              ~> SUPR_fold_sup
  4870 
  4871 * Theory "Complete_Lattice": lemmas top_def and bot_def have been
  4872 replaced by the more convenient lemmas Inf_empty and Sup_empty.
  4873 Dropped lemmas Inf_insert_simp and Sup_insert_simp, which are subsumed
  4874 by Inf_insert and Sup_insert.  Lemmas Inf_UNIV and Sup_UNIV replace
  4875 former Inf_Univ and Sup_Univ.  Lemmas inf_top_right and sup_bot_right
  4876 subsume inf_top and sup_bot respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4877 
  4878 * Reorganized theory Multiset: swapped notation of pointwise and
  4879 multiset order:
  4880 
  4881   - pointwise ordering is instance of class order with standard syntax
  4882     <= and <;
  4883   - multiset ordering has syntax <=# and <#; partial order properties
  4884     are provided by means of interpretation with prefix
  4885     multiset_order;
  4886   - less duplication, less historical organization of sections,
  4887     conversion from associations lists to multisets, rudimentary code
  4888     generation;
  4889   - use insert_DiffM2 [symmetric] instead of elem_imp_eq_diff_union,
  4890     if needed.
  4891 
  4892 Renamed:
  4893 
  4894   multiset_eq_conv_count_eq  ~>  multiset_ext_iff
  4895   multi_count_ext  ~>  multiset_ext
  4896   diff_union_inverse2  ~>  diff_union_cancelR
  4897 
  4898 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4899 
  4900 * Theory Permutation: replaced local "remove" by List.remove1.
  4901 
  4902 * Code generation: ML and OCaml code is decorated with signatures.
  4903 
  4904 * Theory List: added transpose.
  4905 
  4906 * Library/Nat_Bijection.thy is a collection of bijective functions
  4907 between nat and other types, which supersedes the older libraries
  4908 Library/Nat_Int_Bij.thy and HOLCF/NatIso.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4938   Nat_Int_Bij.bij_int_to_nat_bij  ~> bij_int_decode
  4939 
  4940 * Sledgehammer:
  4941   - Renamed ATP commands:
  4942     atp_info     ~> sledgehammer running_atps
  4943     atp_kill     ~> sledgehammer kill_atps
  4944     atp_messages ~> sledgehammer messages
  4945     atp_minimize ~> sledgehammer minimize
  4946     print_atps   ~> sledgehammer available_atps
  4947     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4948   - Added user's manual ("isabelle doc sledgehammer").
  4949   - Added option syntax and "sledgehammer_params" to customize
  4950     Sledgehammer's behavior.  See the manual for details.
  4951   - Modified the Isar proof reconstruction code so that it produces
  4952     direct proofs rather than proofs by contradiction.  (This feature
  4953     is still experimental.)
  4954   - Made Isar proof reconstruction work for SPASS, remote ATPs, and in
  4955     full-typed mode.
  4956   - Added support for TPTP syntax for SPASS via the "spass_tptp" ATP.
  4957 
  4958 * Nitpick:
  4959   - Added and implemented "binary_ints" and "bits" options.
  4960   - Added "std" option and implemented support for nonstandard models.
  4961   - Added and implemented "finitize" option to improve the precision
  4962     of infinite datatypes based on a monotonicity analysis.
  4963   - Added support for quotient types.
  4964   - Added support for "specification" and "ax_specification"
  4965     constructs.
  4966   - Added support for local definitions (for "function" and
  4967     "termination" proofs).
  4968   - Added support for term postprocessors.
  4969   - Optimized "Multiset.multiset" and "FinFun.finfun".
  4970   - Improved efficiency of "destroy_constrs" optimization.
  4971   - Fixed soundness bugs related to "destroy_constrs" optimization and
  4972     record getters.
  4973   - Fixed soundness bug related to higher-order constructors.
  4974   - Fixed soundness bug when "full_descrs" is enabled.
  4975   - Improved precision of set constructs.
  4976   - Added "atoms" option.
  4977   - Added cache to speed up repeated Kodkod invocations on the same
  4978     problems.
  4979   - Renamed "MiniSatJNI", "zChaffJNI", "BerkMinAlloy", and
  4980     "SAT4JLight" to "MiniSat_JNI", "zChaff_JNI", "BerkMin_Alloy", and
  4981     "SAT4J_Light".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4982   - Removed "skolemize", "uncurry", "sym_break", "flatten_prop",
  4983     "sharing_depth", and "show_skolems" options.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4984   - Removed "nitpick_intro" attribute.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4985 
  4986 * Method "induct" now takes instantiations of the form t, where t is not
  4987   a variable, as a shorthand for "x == t", where x is a fresh variable.
  4988   If this is not intended, t has to be enclosed in parentheses.
  4989   By default, the equalities generated by definitional instantiations
  4990   are pre-simplified, which may cause parameters of inductive cases
  4991   to disappear, or may even delete some of the inductive cases.
  4992   Use "induct (no_simp)" instead of "induct" to restore the old
  4993   behaviour. The (no_simp) option is also understood by the "cases"
  4994   and "nominal_induct" methods, which now perform pre-simplification, too.
  4995   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4996 
  4997 
  4998 *** HOLCF ***
  4999 
  5000 * Variable names in lemmas generated by the domain package have
  5001 changed; the naming scheme is now consistent with the HOL datatype
  5002 package.  Some proof scripts may be affected, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5003 
  5004 * The domain package no longer defines the function "foo_copy" for
  5005 recursive domain "foo".  The reach lemma is now stated directly in
  5006 terms of "foo_take".  Lemmas and proofs that mention "foo_copy" must
  5007 be reformulated in terms of "foo_take", INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5008 
  5009 * Most definedness lemmas generated by the domain package (previously
  5010 of the form "x ~= UU ==> foo$x ~= UU") now have an if-and-only-if form
  5011 like "foo$x = UU <-> x = UU", which works better as a simp rule.
  5012 Proofs that used definedness lemmas as intro rules may break,
  5013 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5014 
  5015 * Induction and casedist rules generated by the domain package now
  5016 declare proper case_names (one called "bottom", and one named for each
  5017 constructor).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5018 
  5019 * For mutually-recursive domains, separate "reach" and "take_lemma"
  5020 rules are generated for each domain, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5021 
  5022   foo_bar.reach       ~> foo.reach  bar.reach
  5023   foo_bar.take_lemmas ~> foo.take_lemma  bar.take_lemma
  5024 
  5025 * Some lemmas generated by the domain package have been renamed for
  5026 consistency with the datatype package, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5027 
  5028   foo.ind        ~> foo.induct
  5029   foo.finite_ind ~> foo.finite_induct
  5030   foo.coind      ~> foo.coinduct
  5031   foo.casedist   ~> foo.exhaust
  5032   foo.exhaust    ~> foo.nchotomy
  5033 
  5034 * For consistency with other definition packages, the fixrec package
  5035 now generates qualified theorem names, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5036 
  5037   foo_simps  ~> foo.simps
  5038   foo_unfold ~> foo.unfold
  5039   foo_induct ~> foo.induct
  5040 
  5041 * The "fixrec_simp" attribute has been removed.  The "fixrec_simp"
  5042 method and internal fixrec proofs now use the default simpset instead.
  5043 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5044 
  5045 * The "contlub" predicate has been removed.  Proof scripts should use
  5046 lemma contI2 in place of monocontlub2cont, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5047 
  5048 * The "admw" predicate has been removed, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5049 
  5050 * The constants cpair, cfst, and csnd have been removed in favor of
  5051 Pair, fst, and snd from Isabelle/HOL, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5052 
  5053 
  5054 *** ML ***
  5055 
  5056 * Antiquotations for basic formal entities:
  5057 
  5058     @{class NAME}         -- type class
  5059     @{class_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of the above
  5060 
  5061     @{type_name NAME}     -- logical type
  5062     @{type_abbrev NAME}   -- type abbreviation
  5063     @{nonterminal NAME}   -- type of concrete syntactic category
  5064     @{type_syntax NAME}   -- syntax representation of any of the above
  5065 
  5066     @{const_name NAME}    -- logical constant (INCOMPATIBILITY)
  5067     @{const_abbrev NAME}  -- abbreviated constant
  5068     @{const_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of any of the above
  5069 
  5070 * Antiquotation @{syntax_const NAME} ensures that NAME refers to a raw
  5071 syntax constant (cf. 'syntax' command).
  5072 
  5073 * Antiquotation @{make_string} inlines a function to print arbitrary
  5074 values similar to the ML toplevel.  The result is compiler dependent
  5075 and may fall back on "?" in certain situations.
  5076 
  5077 * Diagnostic commands 'ML_val' and 'ML_command' may refer to
  5078 antiquotations @{Isar.state} and @{Isar.goal}.  This replaces impure
  5079 Isar.state() and Isar.goal(), which belong to the old TTY loop and do
  5080 not work with the asynchronous Isar document model.
  5081 
  5082 * Configuration options now admit dynamic default values, depending on
  5083 the context or even global references.
  5084 
  5085 * SHA1.digest digests strings according to SHA-1 (see RFC 3174).  It
  5086 uses an efficient external library if available (for Poly/ML).
  5087 
  5088 * Renamed some important ML structures, while keeping the old names
  5089 for some time as aliases within the structure Legacy:
  5090 
  5091   OuterKeyword  ~>  Keyword
  5092   OuterLex      ~>  Token
  5093   OuterParse    ~>  Parse
  5094   OuterSyntax   ~>  Outer_Syntax
  5095   PrintMode     ~>  Print_Mode
  5096   SpecParse     ~>  Parse_Spec
  5097   ThyInfo       ~>  Thy_Info
  5098   ThyLoad       ~>  Thy_Load
  5099   ThyOutput     ~>  Thy_Output
  5100   TypeInfer     ~>  Type_Infer
  5101 
  5102 Note that "open Legacy" simplifies porting of sources, but forgetting
  5103 to remove it again will complicate porting again in the future.
  5104 
  5105 * Most operations that refer to a global context are named
  5106 accordingly, e.g. Simplifier.global_context or
  5107 ProofContext.init_global.  There are some situations where a global
  5108 context actually works, but under normal circumstances one needs to
  5109 pass the proper local context through the code!
  5110 
  5111 * Discontinued old TheoryDataFun with its copy/init operation -- data
  5112 needs to be pure.  Functor Theory_Data_PP retains the traditional
  5113 Pretty.pp argument to merge, which is absent in the standard
  5114 Theory_Data version.
  5115 
  5116 * Sorts.certify_sort and derived "cert" operations for types and terms
  5117 no longer minimize sorts.  Thus certification at the boundary of the
  5118 inference kernel becomes invariant under addition of class relations,
  5119 which is an important monotonicity principle.  Sorts are now minimized
  5120 in the syntax layer only, at the boundary between the end-user and the
  5121 system.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY, may have to use Sign.minimize_sort
  5122 explicitly in rare situations.
  5123 
  5124 * Renamed old-style Drule.standard to Drule.export_without_context, to
  5125 emphasize that this is in no way a standard operation.
  5126 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5127 
  5128 * Subgoal.FOCUS (and variants): resulting goal state is normalized as
  5129 usual for resolution.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5130 
  5131 * Renamed varify/unvarify operations to varify_global/unvarify_global
  5132 to emphasize that these only work in a global situation (which is
  5133 quite rare).
  5134 
  5135 * Curried take and drop in library.ML; negative length is interpreted
  5136 as infinity (as in chop).  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5137 
  5138 * Proof terms: type substitutions on proof constants now use canonical
  5139 order of type variables.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools working with proof
  5140 terms.
  5141 
  5142 * Raw axioms/defs may no longer carry sort constraints, and raw defs
  5143 may no longer carry premises.  User-level specifications are
  5144 transformed accordingly by Thm.add_axiom/add_def.
  5145 
  5146 
  5147 *** System ***
  5148 
  5149 * Discontinued special HOL_USEDIR_OPTIONS for the main HOL image;
  5150 ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS applies uniformly to all sessions.  Note that
  5151 proof terms are enabled unconditionally in the new HOL-Proofs image.
  5152 
  5153 * Discontinued old ISABELLE and ISATOOL environment settings (legacy
  5154 feature since Isabelle2009).  Use ISABELLE_PROCESS and ISABELLE_TOOL,
  5155 respectively.
  5156 
  5157 * Old lib/scripts/polyml-platform is superseded by the
  5158 ISABELLE_PLATFORM setting variable, which defaults to the 32 bit
  5159 variant, even on a 64 bit machine.  The following example setting
  5160 prefers 64 bit if available:
  5161 
  5162   ML_PLATFORM="${ISABELLE_PLATFORM64:-$ISABELLE_PLATFORM}"
  5163 
  5164 * The preliminary Isabelle/jEdit application demonstrates the emerging
  5165 Isabelle/Scala layer for advanced prover interaction and integration.
  5166 See src/Tools/jEdit or "isabelle jedit" provided by the properly built
  5167 component.
  5168 
  5169 * "IsabelleText" is a Unicode font derived from Bitstream Vera Mono
  5170 and Bluesky TeX fonts.  It provides the usual Isabelle symbols,
  5171 similar to the default assignment of the document preparation system
  5172 (cf. isabellesym.sty).  The Isabelle/Scala class Isabelle_System
  5173 provides some operations for direct access to the font without asking
  5174 the user for manual installation.
  5175 
  5176 
  5177 
  5178 New in Isabelle2009-1 (December 2009)
  5179 -------------------------------------
  5180 
  5181 *** General ***
  5182 
  5183 * Discontinued old form of "escaped symbols" such as \\<forall>.  Only
  5184 one backslash should be used, even in ML sources.
  5185 
  5186 
  5187 *** Pure ***
  5188 
  5189 * Locale interpretation propagates mixins along the locale hierarchy.
  5190 The currently only available mixins are the equations used to map
  5191 local definitions to terms of the target domain of an interpretation.
  5192 
  5193 * Reactivated diagnostic command 'print_interps'.  Use "print_interps
  5194 loc" to print all interpretations of locale "loc" in the theory.
  5195 Interpretations in proofs are not shown.
  5196 
  5197 * Thoroughly revised locales tutorial.  New section on conditional
  5198 interpretation.
  5199 
  5200 * On instantiation of classes, remaining undefined class parameters
  5201 are formally declared.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5202 
  5203 
  5204 *** Document preparation ***
  5205 
  5206 * New generalized style concept for printing terms: @{foo (style) ...}
  5207 instead of @{foo_style style ...}  (old form is still retained for
  5208 backward compatibility).  Styles can be also applied for
  5209 antiquotations prop, term_type and typeof.
  5210 
  5211 
  5212 *** HOL ***
  5213 
  5214 * New proof method "smt" for a combination of first-order logic with
  5215 equality, linear and nonlinear (natural/integer/real) arithmetic, and
  5216 fixed-size bitvectors; there is also basic support for higher-order
  5217 features (esp. lambda abstractions).  It is an incomplete decision
  5218 procedure based on external SMT solvers using the oracle mechanism;
  5219 for the SMT solver Z3, this method is proof-producing.  Certificates
  5220 are provided to avoid calling the external solvers solely for
  5221 re-checking proofs.  Due to a remote SMT service there is no need for
  5222 installing SMT solvers locally.  See src/HOL/SMT.
  5223 
  5224 * New commands to load and prove verification conditions generated by
  5225 the Boogie program verifier or derived systems (e.g. the Verifying C
  5226 Compiler (VCC) or Spec#).  See src/HOL/Boogie.
  5227 
  5228 * New counterexample generator tool 'nitpick' based on the Kodkod
  5229 relational model finder.  See src/HOL/Tools/Nitpick and
  5230 src/HOL/Nitpick_Examples.
  5231 
  5232 * New commands 'code_pred' and 'values' to invoke the predicate
  5233 compiler and to enumerate values of inductive predicates.
  5234 
  5235 * A tabled implementation of the reflexive transitive closure.
  5236 
  5237 * New implementation of quickcheck uses generic code generator;
  5238 default generators are provided for all suitable HOL types, records
  5239 and datatypes.  Old quickcheck can be re-activated importing theory
  5240 Library/SML_Quickcheck.
  5241 
  5242 * New testing tool Mirabelle for automated proof tools.  Applies
  5243 several tools and tactics like sledgehammer, metis, or quickcheck, to
  5244 every proof step in a theory.  To be used in batch mode via the
  5245 "mirabelle" utility.
  5246 
  5247 * New proof method "sos" (sum of squares) for nonlinear real
  5248 arithmetic (originally due to John Harison). It requires theory
  5249 Library/Sum_Of_Squares.  It is not a complete decision procedure but
  5250 works well in practice on quantifier-free real arithmetic with +, -,
  5251 *, ^, =, <= and <, i.e. boolean combinations of equalities and
  5252 inequalities between polynomials.  It makes use of external
  5253 semidefinite programming solvers.  Method "sos" generates a
  5254 certificate that can be pasted into the proof thus avoiding the need
  5255 to call an external tool every time the proof is checked.  See
  5256 src/HOL/Library/Sum_Of_Squares.
  5257 
  5258 * New method "linarith" invokes existing linear arithmetic decision
  5259 procedure only.
  5260 
  5261 * New command 'atp_minimal' reduces result produced by Sledgehammer.
  5262 
  5263 * New Sledgehammer option "Full Types" in Proof General settings menu.
  5264 Causes full type information to be output to the ATPs.  This slows
  5265 ATPs down considerably but eliminates a source of unsound "proofs"
  5266 that fail later.
  5267 
  5268 * New method "metisFT": A version of metis that uses full type
  5269 information in order to avoid failures of proof reconstruction.
  5270 
  5271 * New evaluator "approximate" approximates an real valued term using
  5272 the same method as the approximation method.
  5273 
  5274 * Method "approximate" now supports arithmetic expressions as
  5275 boundaries of intervals and implements interval splitting and Taylor
  5276 series expansion.
  5277 
  5278 * ML antiquotation @{code_datatype} inserts definition of a datatype
  5279 generated by the code generator; e.g. see src/HOL/Predicate.thy.
  5280 
  5281 * New theory SupInf of the supremum and infimum operators for sets of
  5282 reals.
  5283 
  5284 * New theory Probability, which contains a development of measure
  5285 theory, eventually leading to Lebesgue integration and probability.
  5286 
  5287 * Extended Multivariate Analysis to include derivation and Brouwer's
  5288 fixpoint theorem.
  5289 
  5290 * Reorganization of number theory, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5291   - new number theory development for nat and int, in theories Divides
  5292     and GCD as well as in new session Number_Theory
  5293   - some constants and facts now suffixed with _nat and _int
  5294     accordingly
  5295   - former session NumberTheory now named Old_Number_Theory, including
  5296     theories Legacy_GCD and Primes (prefer Number_Theory if possible)
  5297   - moved theory Pocklington from src/HOL/Library to
  5298     src/HOL/Old_Number_Theory
  5299 
  5300 * Theory GCD includes functions Gcd/GCD and Lcm/LCM for the gcd and
  5301 lcm of finite and infinite sets. It is shown that they form a complete
  5302 lattice.
  5303 
  5304 * Class semiring_div requires superclass no_zero_divisors and proof of
  5305 div_mult_mult1; theorems div_mult_mult1, div_mult_mult2,
  5306 div_mult_mult1_if, div_mult_mult1 and div_mult_mult2 have been
  5307 generalized to class semiring_div, subsuming former theorems
  5308 zdiv_zmult_zmult1, zdiv_zmult_zmult1_if, zdiv_zmult_zmult1 and
  5309 zdiv_zmult_zmult2.  div_mult_mult1 is now [simp] by default.
  5310 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5311 
  5312 * Refinements to lattice classes and sets:
  5313   - less default intro/elim rules in locale variant, more default
  5314     intro/elim rules in class variant: more uniformity
  5315   - lemma ge_sup_conv renamed to le_sup_iff, in accordance with
  5316     le_inf_iff
  5317   - dropped lemma alias inf_ACI for inf_aci (same for sup_ACI and
  5318     sup_aci)
  5319   - renamed ACI to inf_sup_aci
  5320   - new class "boolean_algebra"
  5321   - class "complete_lattice" moved to separate theory
  5322     "Complete_Lattice"; corresponding constants (and abbreviations)
  5323     renamed and with authentic syntax:
  5324     Set.Inf ~>    Complete_Lattice.Inf
  5325     Set.Sup ~>    Complete_Lattice.Sup
  5326     Set.INFI ~>   Complete_Lattice.INFI
  5327     Set.SUPR ~>   Complete_Lattice.SUPR
  5328     Set.Inter ~>  Complete_Lattice.Inter
  5329     Set.Union ~>  Complete_Lattice.Union
  5330     Set.INTER ~>  Complete_Lattice.INTER
  5331     Set.UNION ~>  Complete_Lattice.UNION
  5332   - authentic syntax for
  5333     Set.Pow
  5334     Set.image
  5335   - mere abbreviations:
  5336     Set.empty               (for bot)
  5337     Set.UNIV                (for top)
  5338     Set.inter               (for inf, formerly Set.Int)
  5339     Set.union               (for sup, formerly Set.Un)
  5340     Complete_Lattice.Inter  (for Inf)
  5341     Complete_Lattice.Union  (for Sup)
  5342     Complete_Lattice.INTER  (for INFI)
  5343     Complete_Lattice.UNION  (for SUPR)
  5344   - object-logic definitions as far as appropriate
  5345 
  5346 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Care is required when theorems Int_subset_iff or
  5347 Un_subset_iff are explicitly deleted as default simp rules; then also
  5348 their lattice counterparts le_inf_iff and le_sup_iff have to be
  5349 deleted to achieve the desired effect.
  5350 
  5351 * Rules inf_absorb1, inf_absorb2, sup_absorb1, sup_absorb2 are no simp
  5352 rules by default any longer; the same applies to min_max.inf_absorb1
  5353 etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5354 
  5355 * Rules sup_Int_eq and sup_Un_eq are no longer declared as
  5356 pred_set_conv by default.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5357 
  5358 * Power operations on relations and functions are now one dedicated
  5359 constant "compow" with infix syntax "^^".  Power operation on
  5360 multiplicative monoids retains syntax "^" and is now defined generic
  5361 in class power.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5362 
  5363 * Relation composition "R O S" now has a more standard argument order:
  5364 "R O S = {(x, z). EX y. (x, y) : R & (y, z) : S}".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  5365 rewrite propositions with "S O R" --> "R O S". Proofs may occasionally
  5366 break, since the O_assoc rule was not rewritten like this.  Fix using
  5367 O_assoc[symmetric].  The same applies to the curried version "R OO S".
  5368 
  5369 * Function "Inv" is renamed to "inv_into" and function "inv" is now an
  5370 abbreviation for "inv_into UNIV".  Lemmas are renamed accordingly.
  5371 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5372 
  5373 * Most rules produced by inductive and datatype package have mandatory
  5374 prefixes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5375 
  5376 * Changed "DERIV_intros" to a dynamic fact, which can be augmented by
  5377 the attribute of the same name.  Each of the theorems in the list
  5378 DERIV_intros assumes composition with an additional function and
  5379 matches a variable to the derivative, which has to be solved by the
  5380 Simplifier.  Hence (auto intro!: DERIV_intros) computes the derivative
  5381 of most elementary terms.  Former Maclauren.DERIV_tac and
  5382 Maclauren.deriv_tac should be replaced by (auto intro!: DERIV_intros).
  5383 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5384 
  5385 * Code generator attributes follow the usual underscore convention:
  5386     code_unfold     replaces    code unfold
  5387     code_post       replaces    code post
  5388     etc.
  5389   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5390 
  5391 * Renamed methods:
  5392     sizechange -> size_change
  5393     induct_scheme -> induction_schema
  5394   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5395 
  5396 * Discontinued abbreviation "arbitrary" of constant "undefined".
  5397 INCOMPATIBILITY, use "undefined" directly.
  5398 
  5399 * Renamed theorems:
  5400     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  5401     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1_left -> Suc_eq_plus1_left
  5402     Suc_plus1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  5403     *anti_sym -> *antisym*
  5404     vector_less_eq_def -> vector_le_def
  5405   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5406 
  5407 * Added theorem List.map_map as [simp].  Removed List.map_compose.
  5408 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5409 
  5410 * Removed predicate "M hassize n" (<--> card M = n & finite M).
  5411 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5412 
  5413 
  5414 *** HOLCF ***
  5415 
  5416 * Theory Representable defines a class "rep" of domains that are
  5417 representable (via an ep-pair) in the universal domain type "udom".
  5418 Instances are provided for all type constructors defined in HOLCF.
  5419 
  5420 * The 'new_domain' command is a purely definitional version of the
  5421 domain package, for representable domains.  Syntax is identical to the
  5422 old domain package.  The 'new_domain' package also supports indirect
  5423 recursion using previously-defined type constructors.  See
  5424 src/HOLCF/ex/New_Domain.thy for examples.
  5425 
  5426 * Method "fixrec_simp" unfolds one step of a fixrec-defined constant
  5427 on the left-hand side of an equation, and then performs
  5428 simplification.  Rewriting is done using rules declared with the
  5429 "fixrec_simp" attribute.  The "fixrec_simp" method is intended as a
  5430 replacement for "fixpat"; see src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples.
  5431 
  5432 * The pattern-match compiler in 'fixrec' can now handle constructors
  5433 with HOL function types.  Pattern-match combinators for the Pair
  5434 constructor are pre-configured.
  5435 
  5436 * The 'fixrec' package now produces better fixed-point induction rules
  5437 for mutually-recursive definitions:  Induction rules have conclusions
  5438 of the form "P foo bar" instead of "P <foo, bar>".
  5439 
  5440 * The constant "sq_le" (with infix syntax "<<" or "\<sqsubseteq>") has
  5441 been renamed to "below".  The name "below" now replaces "less" in many
  5442 theorem names.  (Legacy theorem names using "less" are still supported
  5443 as well.)
  5444 
  5445 * The 'fixrec' package now supports "bottom patterns".  Bottom
  5446 patterns can be used to generate strictness rules, or to make
  5447 functions more strict (much like the bang-patterns supported by the
  5448 Glasgow Haskell Compiler).  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  5449 examples.
  5450 
  5451 
  5452 *** ML ***
  5453 
  5454 * Support for Poly/ML 5.3.0, with improved reporting of compiler
  5455 errors and run-time exceptions, including detailed source positions.
  5456 
  5457 * Structure Name_Space (formerly NameSpace) now manages uniquely
  5458 identified entries, with some additional information such as source
  5459 position, logical grouping etc.
  5460 
  5461 * Theory and context data is now introduced by the simplified and
  5462 modernized functors Theory_Data, Proof_Data, Generic_Data.  Data needs
  5463 to be pure, but the old TheoryDataFun for mutable data (with explicit
  5464 copy operation) is still available for some time.
  5465 
  5466 * Structure Synchronized (cf. src/Pure/Concurrent/synchronized.ML)
  5467 provides a high-level programming interface to synchronized state
  5468 variables with atomic update.  This works via pure function
  5469 application within a critical section -- its runtime should be as
  5470 short as possible; beware of deadlocks if critical code is nested,
  5471 either directly or indirectly via other synchronized variables!
  5472 
  5473 * Structure Unsynchronized (cf. src/Pure/ML-Systems/unsynchronized.ML)
  5474 wraps raw ML references, explicitly indicating their non-thread-safe
  5475 behaviour.  The Isar toplevel keeps this structure open, to
  5476 accommodate Proof General as well as quick and dirty interactive
  5477 experiments with references.
  5478 
  5479 * PARALLEL_CHOICE and PARALLEL_GOALS provide basic support for
  5480 parallel tactical reasoning.
  5481 
  5482 * Tacticals Subgoal.FOCUS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PREMS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PARAMS
  5483 are similar to SUBPROOF, but are slightly more flexible: only the
  5484 specified parts of the subgoal are imported into the context, and the
  5485 body tactic may introduce new subgoals and schematic variables.
  5486 
  5487 * Old tactical METAHYPS, which does not observe the proof context, has
  5488 been renamed to Old_Goals.METAHYPS and awaits deletion.  Use SUBPROOF
  5489 or Subgoal.FOCUS etc.
  5490 
  5491 * Renamed functor TableFun to Table, and GraphFun to Graph.  (Since
  5492 functors have their own ML name space there is no point to mark them
  5493 separately.)  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5494 
  5495 * Renamed NamedThmsFun to Named_Thms.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5496 
  5497 * Renamed several structures FooBar to Foo_Bar.  Occasional,
  5498 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5499 
  5500 * Operations of structure Skip_Proof no longer require quick_and_dirty
  5501 mode, which avoids critical setmp.
  5502 
  5503 * Eliminated old Attrib.add_attributes, Method.add_methods and related
  5504 combinators for "args".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use simplified
  5505 Attrib/Method.setup introduced in Isabelle2009.
  5506 
  5507 * Proper context for simpset_of, claset_of, clasimpset_of.  May fall
  5508 back on global_simpset_of, global_claset_of, global_clasimpset_of as
  5509 last resort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5510 
  5511 * Display.pretty_thm now requires a proper context (cf. former
  5512 ProofContext.pretty_thm).  May fall back on Display.pretty_thm_global
  5513 or even Display.pretty_thm_without_context as last resort.
  5514 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5515 
  5516 * Discontinued Display.pretty_ctyp/cterm etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5517 Syntax.pretty_typ/term directly, preferably with proper context
  5518 instead of global theory.
  5519 
  5520 
  5521 *** System ***
  5522 
  5523 * Further fine tuning of parallel proof checking, scales up to 8 cores
  5524 (max. speedup factor 5.0).  See also Goal.parallel_proofs in ML and
  5525 usedir option -q.
  5526 
  5527 * Support for additional "Isabelle components" via etc/components, see
  5528 also the system manual.
  5529 
  5530 * The isabelle makeall tool now operates on all components with
  5531 IsaMakefile, not just hardwired "logics".
  5532 
  5533 * Removed "compress" option from isabelle-process and isabelle usedir;
  5534 this is always enabled.
  5535 
  5536 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 4.x versions.
  5537 
  5538 * Isabelle tool "wwwfind" provides web interface for 'find_theorems'
  5539 on a given logic image.  This requires the lighttpd webserver and is
  5540 currently supported on Linux only.
  5541 
  5542 
  5543 
  5544 New in Isabelle2009 (April 2009)
  5545 --------------------------------
  5546 
  5547 *** General ***
  5548 
  5549 * Simplified main Isabelle executables, with less surprises on
  5550 case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  5551 
  5552   - The main Isabelle tool wrapper is now called "isabelle" instead of
  5553     "isatool."
  5554 
  5555   - The former "isabelle" alias for "isabelle-process" has been
  5556     removed (should rarely occur to regular users).
  5557 
  5558   - The former "isabelle-interface" and its alias "Isabelle" have been
  5559     removed (interfaces are now regular Isabelle tools).
  5560 
  5561 Within scripts and make files, the Isabelle environment variables
  5562 ISABELLE_TOOL and ISABELLE_PROCESS replace old ISATOOL and ISABELLE,
  5563 respectively.  (The latter are still available as legacy feature.)
  5564 
  5565 The old isabelle-interface wrapper could react in confusing ways if
  5566 the interface was uninstalled or changed otherwise.  Individual
  5567 interface tool configuration is now more explicit, see also the
  5568 Isabelle system manual.  In particular, Proof General is now available
  5569 via "isabelle emacs".
  5570 
  5571 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt derivative scripts.  Users may need to
  5572 purge installed copies of Isabelle executables and re-run "isabelle
  5573 install -p ...", or use symlinks.
  5574 
  5575 * The default for ISABELLE_HOME_USER is now ~/.isabelle instead of the
  5576 old ~/isabelle, which was slightly non-standard and apt to cause
  5577 surprises on case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  5578 
  5579 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to move existing ~/isabelle/etc,
  5580 ~/isabelle/heaps, ~/isabelle/browser_info to the new place.  Special
  5581 care is required when using older releases of Isabelle.  Note that
  5582 ISABELLE_HOME_USER can be changed in Isabelle/etc/settings of any
  5583 Isabelle distribution, in order to use the new ~/.isabelle uniformly.
  5584 
  5585 * Proofs of fully specified statements are run in parallel on
  5586 multi-core systems.  A speedup factor of 2.5 to 3.2 can be expected on
  5587 a regular 4-core machine, if the initial heap space is made reasonably
  5588 large (cf. Poly/ML option -H).  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  5589 
  5590 * The main reference manuals ("isar-ref", "implementation", and
  5591 "system") have been updated and extended.  Formally checked references
  5592 as hyperlinks are now available uniformly.
  5593 
  5594 
  5595 *** Pure ***
  5596 
  5597 * Complete re-implementation of locales.  INCOMPATIBILITY in several
  5598 respects.  The most important changes are listed below.  See the
  5599 Tutorial on Locales ("locales" manual) for details.
  5600 
  5601 - In locale expressions, instantiation replaces renaming.  Parameters
  5602 must be declared in a for clause.  To aid compatibility with previous
  5603 parameter inheritance, in locale declarations, parameters that are not
  5604 'touched' (instantiation position "_" or omitted) are implicitly added
  5605 with their syntax at the beginning of the for clause.
  5606 
  5607 - Syntax from abbreviations and definitions in locales is available in
  5608 locale expressions and context elements.  The latter is particularly
  5609 useful in locale declarations.
  5610 
  5611 - More flexible mechanisms to qualify names generated by locale
  5612 expressions.  Qualifiers (prefixes) may be specified in locale
  5613 expressions, and can be marked as mandatory (syntax: "name!:") or
  5614 optional (syntax "name?:").  The default depends for plain "name:"
  5615 depends on the situation where a locale expression is used: in
  5616 commands 'locale' and 'sublocale' prefixes are optional, in
  5617 'interpretation' and 'interpret' prefixes are mandatory.  The old
  5618 implicit qualifiers derived from the parameter names of a locale are
  5619 no longer generated.
  5620 
  5621 - Command "sublocale l < e" replaces "interpretation l < e".  The
  5622 instantiation clause in "interpretation" and "interpret" (square
  5623 brackets) is no longer available.  Use locale expressions.
  5624 
  5625 - When converting proof scripts, mandatory qualifiers in
  5626 'interpretation' and 'interpret' should be retained by default, even
  5627 if this is an INCOMPATIBILITY compared to former behavior.  In the
  5628 worst case, use the "name?:" form for non-mandatory ones.  Qualifiers
  5629 in locale expressions range over a single locale instance only.
  5630 
  5631 - Dropped locale element "includes".  This is a major INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5632 In existing theorem specifications replace the includes element by the
  5633 respective context elements of the included locale, omitting those
  5634 that are already present in the theorem specification.  Multiple
  5635 assume elements of a locale should be replaced by a single one
  5636 involving the locale predicate.  In the proof body, declarations (most
  5637 notably theorems) may be regained by interpreting the respective
  5638 locales in the proof context as required (command "interpret").
  5639 
  5640 If using "includes" in replacement of a target solely because the
  5641 parameter types in the theorem are not as general as in the target,
  5642 consider declaring a new locale with additional type constraints on
  5643 the parameters (context element "constrains").
  5644 
  5645 - Discontinued "locale (open)".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5646 
  5647 - Locale interpretation commands no longer attempt to simplify goal.
  5648 INCOMPATIBILITY: in rare situations the generated goal differs.  Use
  5649 methods intro_locales and unfold_locales to clarify.
  5650 
  5651 - Locale interpretation commands no longer accept interpretation
  5652 attributes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5653 
  5654 * Class declaration: so-called "base sort" must not be given in import
  5655 list any longer, but is inferred from the specification.  Particularly
  5656 in HOL, write
  5657 
  5658     class foo = ...
  5659 
  5660 instead of
  5661 
  5662     class foo = type + ...
  5663 
  5664 * Class target: global versions of theorems stemming do not carry a
  5665 parameter prefix any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5666 
  5667 * Class 'instance' command no longer accepts attached definitions.
  5668 INCOMPATIBILITY, use proper 'instantiation' target instead.
  5669 
  5670 * Recovered hiding of consts, which was accidentally broken in
  5671 Isabelle2007.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, ``hide const c'' really
  5672 makes c inaccessible; consider using ``hide (open) const c'' instead.
  5673 
  5674 * Slightly more coherent Pure syntax, with updated documentation in
  5675 isar-ref manual.  Removed locales meta_term_syntax and
  5676 meta_conjunction_syntax: TERM and &&& (formerly &&) are now permanent,
  5677 INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations.  Note that &&& should not be used
  5678 directly in regular applications.
  5679 
  5680 * There is a new syntactic category "float_const" for signed decimal
  5681 fractions (e.g. 123.45 or -123.45).
  5682 
  5683 * Removed exotic 'token_translation' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML
  5684 interface with 'setup' command instead.
  5685 
  5686 * Command 'local_setup' is similar to 'setup', but operates on a local
  5687 theory context.
  5688 
  5689 * The 'axiomatization' command now only works within a global theory
  5690 context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5691 
  5692 * Goal-directed proof now enforces strict proof irrelevance wrt. sort
  5693 hypotheses.  Sorts required in the course of reasoning need to be
  5694 covered by the constraints in the initial statement, completed by the
  5695 type instance information of the background theory.  Non-trivial sort
  5696 hypotheses, which rarely occur in practice, may be specified via
  5697 vacuous propositions of the form SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::c).  For example:
  5698 
  5699   lemma assumes "SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::empty)" shows False ...
  5700 
  5701 The result contains an implicit sort hypotheses as before --
  5702 SORT_CONSTRAINT premises are eliminated as part of the canonical rule
  5703 normalization.
  5704 
  5705 * Generalized Isar history, with support for linear undo, direct state
  5706 addressing etc.
  5707 
  5708 * Changed defaults for unify configuration options:
  5709 
  5710   unify_trace_bound = 50 (formerly 25)
  5711   unify_search_bound = 60 (formerly 30)
  5712 
  5713 * Different bookkeeping for code equations (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  5714 
  5715   a) On theory merge, the last set of code equations for a particular
  5716      constant is taken (in accordance with the policy applied by other
  5717      parts of the code generator framework).
  5718 
  5719   b) Code equations stemming from explicit declarations (e.g. code
  5720      attribute) gain priority over default code equations stemming
  5721      from definition, primrec, fun etc.
  5722 
  5723 * Keyword 'code_exception' now named 'code_abort'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5724 
  5725 * Unified theorem tables for both code generators.  Thus [code
  5726 func] has disappeared and only [code] remains.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5727 
  5728 * Command 'find_consts' searches for constants based on type and name
  5729 patterns, e.g.
  5730 
  5731     find_consts "_ => bool"
  5732 
  5733 By default, matching is against subtypes, but it may be restricted to
  5734 the whole type.  Searching by name is possible.  Multiple queries are
  5735 conjunctive and queries may be negated by prefixing them with a
  5736 hyphen:
  5737 
  5738     find_consts strict: "_ => bool" name: "Int" -"int => int"
  5739 
  5740 * New 'find_theorems' criterion "solves" matches theorems that
  5741 directly solve the current goal (modulo higher-order unification).
  5742 
  5743 * Auto solve feature for main theorem statements: whenever a new goal
  5744 is stated, "find_theorems solves" is called; any theorems that could
  5745 solve the lemma directly are listed as part of the goal state.
  5746 Cf. associated options in Proof General Isabelle settings menu,
  5747 enabled by default, with reasonable timeout for pathological cases of
  5748 higher-order unification.
  5749 
  5750 
  5751 *** Document preparation ***
  5752 
  5753 * Antiquotation @{lemma} now imitates a regular terminal proof,
  5754 demanding keyword 'by' and supporting the full method expression
  5755 syntax just like the Isar command 'by'.
  5756 
  5757 
  5758 *** HOL ***
  5759 
  5760 * Integrated main parts of former image HOL-Complex with HOL.  Entry
  5761 points Main and Complex_Main remain as before.
  5762 
  5763 * Logic image HOL-Plain provides a minimal HOL with the most important
  5764 tools available (inductive, datatype, primrec, ...).  This facilitates
  5765 experimentation and tool development.  Note that user applications
  5766 (and library theories) should never refer to anything below theory
  5767 Main, as before.
  5768 
  5769 * Logic image HOL-Main stops at theory Main, and thus facilitates
  5770 experimentation due to shorter build times.
  5771 
  5772 * Logic image HOL-NSA contains theories of nonstandard analysis which
  5773 were previously part of former HOL-Complex.  Entry point Hyperreal
  5774 remains valid, but theories formerly using Complex_Main should now use
  5775 new entry point Hypercomplex.
  5776 
  5777 * Generic ATP manager for Sledgehammer, based on ML threads instead of
  5778 Posix processes.  Avoids potentially expensive forking of the ML
  5779 process.  New thread-based implementation also works on non-Unix
  5780 platforms (Cygwin).  Provers are no longer hardwired, but defined
  5781 within the theory via plain ML wrapper functions.  Basic Sledgehammer
  5782 commands are covered in the isar-ref manual.
  5783 
  5784 * Wrapper scripts for remote SystemOnTPTP service allows to use
  5785 sledgehammer without local ATP installation (Vampire etc.). Other
  5786 provers may be included via suitable ML wrappers, see also
  5787 src/HOL/ATP_Linkup.thy.
  5788 
  5789 * ATP selection (E/Vampire/Spass) is now via Proof General's settings
  5790 menu.
  5791 
  5792 * The metis method no longer fails because the theorem is too trivial
  5793 (contains the empty clause).
  5794 
  5795 * The metis method now fails in the usual manner, rather than raising
  5796 an exception, if it determines that it cannot prove the theorem.
  5797 
  5798 * Method "coherent" implements a prover for coherent logic (see also
  5799 src/Tools/coherent.ML).
  5800 
  5801 * Constants "undefined" and "default" replace "arbitrary".  Usually
  5802 "undefined" is the right choice to replace "arbitrary", though
  5803 logically there is no difference.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5804 
  5805 * Command "value" now integrates different evaluation mechanisms.  The
  5806 result of the first successful evaluation mechanism is printed.  In
  5807 square brackets a particular named evaluation mechanisms may be
  5808 specified (currently, [SML], [code] or [nbe]).  See further
  5809 src/HOL/ex/Eval_Examples.thy.
  5810 
  5811 * Normalization by evaluation now allows non-leftlinear equations.
  5812 Declare with attribute [code nbe].
  5813 
  5814 * Methods "case_tac" and "induct_tac" now refer to the very same rules
  5815 as the structured Isar versions "cases" and "induct", cf. the
  5816 corresponding "cases" and "induct" attributes.  Mutual induction rules
  5817 are now presented as a list of individual projections
  5818 (e.g. foo_bar.inducts for types foo and bar); the old format with
  5819 explicit HOL conjunction is no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  5820 rare situations a different rule is selected --- notably nested tuple
  5821 elimination instead of former prod.exhaust: use explicit (case_tac t
  5822 rule: prod.exhaust) here.
  5823 
  5824 * Attributes "cases", "induct", "coinduct" support "del" option.
  5825 
  5826 * Removed fact "case_split_thm", which duplicates "case_split".
  5827 
  5828 * The option datatype has been moved to a new theory Option.  Renamed
  5829 option_map to Option.map, and o2s to Option.set, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5830 
  5831 * New predicate "strict_mono" classifies strict functions on partial
  5832 orders.  With strict functions on linear orders, reasoning about
  5833 (in)equalities is facilitated by theorems "strict_mono_eq",
  5834 "strict_mono_less_eq" and "strict_mono_less".
  5835 
  5836 * Some set operations are now proper qualified constants with
  5837 authentic syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5838 
  5839     op Int ~>   Set.Int
  5840     op Un ~>    Set.Un
  5841     INTER ~>    Set.INTER
  5842     UNION ~>    Set.UNION
  5843     Inter ~>    Set.Inter
  5844     Union ~>    Set.Union
  5845     {} ~>       Set.empty
  5846     UNIV ~>     Set.UNIV
  5847 
  5848 * Class complete_lattice with operations Inf, Sup, INFI, SUPR now in
  5849 theory Set.
  5850 
  5851 * Auxiliary class "itself" has disappeared -- classes without any
  5852 parameter are treated as expected by the 'class' command.
  5853 
  5854 * Leibnitz's Series for Pi and the arcus tangens and logarithm series.
  5855 
  5856 * Common decision procedures (Cooper, MIR, Ferrack, Approximation,
  5857 Dense_Linear_Order) are now in directory HOL/Decision_Procs.
  5858 
  5859 * Theory src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation provides the new proof
  5860 method "approximation".  It proves formulas on real values by using
  5861 interval arithmetic.  In the formulas are also the transcendental
  5862 functions sin, cos, tan, atan, ln, exp and the constant pi are
  5863 allowed. For examples see
  5864 src/HOL/Descision_Procs/ex/Approximation_Ex.thy.
  5865 
  5866 * Theory "Reflection" now resides in HOL/Library.
  5867 
  5868 * Entry point to Word library now simply named "Word".
  5869 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5870 
  5871 * Made source layout more coherent with logical distribution
  5872 structure:

  5925 
  5926 * If methods "eval" and "evaluation" encounter a structured proof
  5927 state with !!/==>, only the conclusion is evaluated to True (if
  5928 possible), avoiding strange error messages.
  5929 
  5930 * Method "sizechange" automates termination proofs using (a
  5931 modification of) the size-change principle.  Requires SAT solver.  See
  5932 src/HOL/ex/Termination.thy for examples.
  5933 
  5934 * Simplifier: simproc for let expressions now unfolds if bound
  5935 variable occurs at most once in let expression body.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5936 
  5937 * Method "arith": Linear arithmetic now ignores all inequalities when
  5938 fast_arith_neq_limit is exceeded, instead of giving up entirely.
  5939 
  5940 * New attribute "arith" for facts that should always be used
  5941 automatically by arithmetic. It is intended to be used locally in
  5942 proofs, e.g.
  5943 
  5944   assumes [arith]: "x > 0"
  5945 
  5946 Global usage is discouraged because of possible performance impact.
  5947 
  5948 * New classes "top" and "bot" with corresponding operations "top" and
  5949 "bot" in theory Orderings; instantiation of class "complete_lattice"
  5950 requires instantiation of classes "top" and "bot".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5951 
  5952 * Changed definition lemma "less_fun_def" in order to provide an
  5953 instance for preorders on functions; use lemma "less_le" instead.
  5954 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5955 
  5956 * Theory Orderings: class "wellorder" moved here, with explicit
  5957 induction rule "less_induct" as assumption.  For instantiation of
  5958 "wellorder" by means of predicate "wf", use rule wf_wellorderI.
  5959 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5960 
  5961 * Theory Orderings: added class "preorder" as superclass of "order".
  5962 INCOMPATIBILITY: Instantiation proofs for order, linorder
  5963 etc. slightly changed.  Some theorems named order_class.* now named
  5964 preorder_class.*.
  5965 
  5966 * Theory Relation: renamed "refl" to "refl_on", "reflexive" to "refl,
  5967 "diag" to "Id_on".
  5968 
  5969 * Theory Finite_Set: added a new fold combinator of type
  5970 
  5971   ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  5972 
  5973 Occasionally this is more convenient than the old fold combinator
  5974 which is now defined in terms of the new one and renamed to
  5975 fold_image.
  5976 
  5977 * Theories Ring_and_Field and OrderedGroup: The lemmas "group_simps"
  5978 and "ring_simps" have been replaced by "algebra_simps" (which can be
  5979 extended with further lemmas!).  At the moment both still exist but
  5980 the former will disappear at some point.
  5981 
  5982 * Theory Power: Lemma power_Suc is now declared as a simp rule in
  5983 class recpower.  Type-specific simp rules for various recpower types
  5984 have been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, rename old lemmas as follows:
  5985 
  5986 rat_power_0    -> power_0
  5987 rat_power_Suc  -> power_Suc
  5988 realpow_0      -> power_0
  5989 realpow_Suc    -> power_Suc
  5990 complexpow_0   -> power_0
  5991 complexpow_Suc -> power_Suc
  5992 power_poly_0   -> power_0
  5993 power_poly_Suc -> power_Suc
  5994 
  5995 * Theories Ring_and_Field and Divides: Definition of "op dvd" has been
  5996 moved to separate class dvd in Ring_and_Field; a couple of lemmas on
  5997 dvd has been generalized to class comm_semiring_1.  Likewise a bunch
  5998 of lemmas from Divides has been generalized from nat to class
  5999 semiring_div.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  This involves the following theorem
  6000 renames resulting from duplicate elimination:
  6001 
  6002     dvd_def_mod ~>          dvd_eq_mod_eq_0
  6003     zero_dvd_iff ~>         dvd_0_left_iff
  6004     dvd_0 ~>                dvd_0_right
  6005     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_DIV ~> div_by_0
  6006     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_MOD ~> mod_by_0
  6007     mult_div ~>             div_mult_self2_is_id
  6008     mult_mod ~>             mod_mult_self2_is_0
  6009 
  6010 * Theory IntDiv: removed many lemmas that are instances of class-based
  6011 generalizations (from Divides and Ring_and_Field).  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  6012 rename old lemmas as follows:
  6013 
  6014 dvd_diff               -> nat_dvd_diff
  6015 dvd_zminus_iff         -> dvd_minus_iff
  6016 mod_add1_eq            -> mod_add_eq
  6017 mod_mult1_eq           -> mod_mult_right_eq
  6018 mod_mult1_eq'          -> mod_mult_left_eq
  6019 mod_mult_distrib_mod   -> mod_mult_eq
  6020 nat_mod_add_left_eq    -> mod_add_left_eq
  6021 nat_mod_add_right_eq   -> mod_add_right_eq
  6022 nat_mod_div_trivial    -> mod_div_trivial
  6023 nat_mod_mod_trivial    -> mod_mod_trivial
  6024 zdiv_zadd_self1        -> div_add_self1
  6025 zdiv_zadd_self2        -> div_add_self2
  6026 zdiv_zmult_self1       -> div_mult_self2_is_id
  6027 zdiv_zmult_self2       -> div_mult_self1_is_id
  6028 zdvd_triv_left         -> dvd_triv_left
  6029 zdvd_triv_right        -> dvd_triv_right
  6030 zdvd_zmult_cancel_disj -> dvd_mult_cancel_left
  6031 zmod_eq0_zdvd_iff      -> dvd_eq_mod_eq_0[symmetric]
  6032 zmod_zadd_left_eq      -> mod_add_left_eq
  6033 zmod_zadd_right_eq     -> mod_add_right_eq
  6034 zmod_zadd_self1        -> mod_add_self1
  6035 zmod_zadd_self2        -> mod_add_self2
  6036 zmod_zadd1_eq          -> mod_add_eq
  6037 zmod_zdiff1_eq         -> mod_diff_eq
  6038 zmod_zdvd_zmod         -> mod_mod_cancel
  6039 zmod_zmod_cancel       -> mod_mod_cancel
  6040 zmod_zmult_self1       -> mod_mult_self2_is_0
  6041 zmod_zmult_self2       -> mod_mult_self1_is_0
  6042 zmod_1                 -> mod_by_1
  6043 zdiv_1                 -> div_by_1
  6044 zdvd_abs1              -> abs_dvd_iff
  6045 zdvd_abs2              -> dvd_abs_iff
  6046 zdvd_refl              -> dvd_refl
  6047 zdvd_trans             -> dvd_trans
  6048 zdvd_zadd              -> dvd_add
  6049 zdvd_zdiff             -> dvd_diff
  6050 zdvd_zminus_iff        -> dvd_minus_iff
  6051 zdvd_zminus2_iff       -> minus_dvd_iff
  6052 zdvd_zmultD            -> dvd_mult_right
  6053 zdvd_zmultD2           -> dvd_mult_left
  6054 zdvd_zmult_mono        -> mult_dvd_mono
  6055 zdvd_0_right           -> dvd_0_right
  6056 zdvd_0_left            -> dvd_0_left_iff
  6057 zdvd_1_left            -> one_dvd
  6058 zminus_dvd_iff         -> minus_dvd_iff
  6059 
  6060 * Theory Rational: 'Fract k 0' now equals '0'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6061 
  6062 * The real numbers offer decimal input syntax: 12.34 is translated
  6063 into 1234/10^2. This translation is not reversed upon output.
  6064 
  6065 * Theory Library/Polynomial defines an abstract type 'a poly of
  6066 univariate polynomials with coefficients of type 'a.  In addition to
  6067 the standard ring operations, it also supports div and mod.  Code
  6068 generation is also supported, using list-style constructors.
  6069 
  6070 * Theory Library/Inner_Product defines a class of real_inner for real
  6071 inner product spaces, with an overloaded operation inner :: 'a => 'a
  6072 => real.  Class real_inner is a subclass of real_normed_vector from
  6073 theory RealVector.
  6074 
  6075 * Theory Library/Product_Vector provides instances for the product
  6076 type 'a * 'b of several classes from RealVector and Inner_Product.
  6077 Definitions of addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, norms,
  6078 and inner products are included.
  6079 
  6080 * Theory Library/Bit defines the field "bit" of integers modulo 2.  In
  6081 addition to the field operations, numerals and case syntax are also
  6082 supported.
  6083 
  6084 * Theory Library/Diagonalize provides constructive version of Cantor's
  6085 first diagonalization argument.
  6086 
  6087 * Theory Library/GCD: Curried operations gcd, lcm (for nat) and zgcd,
  6088 zlcm (for int); carried together from various gcd/lcm developements in
  6089 the HOL Distribution.  Constants zgcd and zlcm replace former igcd and
  6090 ilcm; corresponding theorems renamed accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  6091 may recover tupled syntax as follows:
  6092 
  6093     hide (open) const gcd
  6094     abbreviation gcd where
  6095       "gcd == (%(a, b). GCD.gcd a b)"
  6096     notation (output)
  6097       GCD.gcd ("gcd '(_, _')")
  6098 
  6099 The same works for lcm, zgcd, zlcm.
  6100 
  6101 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity: added addition, numeral syntax and more
  6102 instantiations for algebraic structures.  Removed some duplicate
  6103 theorems.  Changes in simp rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6104 
  6105 * ML antiquotation @{code} takes a constant as argument and generates
  6106 corresponding code in background and inserts name of the corresponding
  6107 resulting ML value/function/datatype constructor binding in place.
  6108 All occurrences of @{code} with a single ML block are generated
  6109 simultaneously.  Provides a generic and safe interface for
  6110 instrumentalizing code generation.  See
  6111 src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Ferrack.thy for a more ambitious application.
  6112 In future you ought to refrain from ad-hoc compiling generated SML
  6113 code on the ML toplevel.  Note that (for technical reasons) @{code}
  6114 cannot refer to constants for which user-defined serializations are
  6115 set.  Refer to the corresponding ML counterpart directly in that
  6116 cases.
  6117 
  6118 * Command 'rep_datatype': instead of theorem names the command now
  6119 takes a list of terms denoting the constructors of the type to be
  6120 represented as datatype.  The characteristic theorems have to be
  6121 proven.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Also observe that the following theorems
  6122 have disappeared in favour of existing ones:
  6123 
  6124     unit_induct                 ~> unit.induct
  6125     prod_induct                 ~> prod.induct
  6126     sum_induct                  ~> sum.induct
  6127     Suc_Suc_eq                  ~> nat.inject
  6128     Suc_not_Zero Zero_not_Suc   ~> nat.distinct
  6129 
  6130 
  6131 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  6132 
  6133 * New locales for orders and lattices where the equivalence relation
  6134 is not restricted to equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY: all order and lattice
  6135 locales use a record structure with field eq for the equivalence.
  6136 
  6137 * New theory of factorial domains.
  6138 
  6139 * Units_l_inv and Units_r_inv are now simp rules by default.
  6140 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Simplifier proof that require deletion of l_inv
  6141 and/or r_inv will now also require deletion of these lemmas.
  6142 
  6143 * Renamed the following theorems, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6144 
  6145 UpperD ~> Upper_memD
  6146 LowerD ~> Lower_memD
  6147 least_carrier ~> least_closed
  6148 greatest_carrier ~> greatest_closed
  6149 greatest_Lower_above ~> greatest_Lower_below
  6150 one_zero ~> carrier_one_zero
  6151 one_not_zero ~> carrier_one_not_zero  (collision with assumption)
  6152 
  6153 
  6154 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  6155 
  6156 * Nominal datatypes can now contain type-variables.
  6157 
  6158 * Commands 'nominal_inductive' and 'equivariance' work with local
  6159 theory targets.
  6160 
  6161 * Nominal primrec can now works with local theory targets and its
  6162 specification syntax now conforms to the general format as seen in
  6163 'inductive' etc.
  6164 
  6165 * Method "perm_simp" honours the standard simplifier attributes
  6166 (no_asm), (no_asm_use) etc.
  6167 
  6168 * The new predicate #* is defined like freshness, except that on the
  6169 left hand side can be a set or list of atoms.
  6170 
  6171 * Experimental command 'nominal_inductive2' derives strong induction
  6172 principles for inductive definitions.  In contrast to
  6173 'nominal_inductive', which can only deal with a fixed number of
  6174 binders, it can deal with arbitrary expressions standing for sets of
  6175 atoms to be avoided.  The only inductive definition we have at the
  6176 moment that needs this generalisation is the typing rule for Lets in
  6177 the algorithm W:
  6178 
  6179  Gamma |- t1 : T1   (x,close Gamma T1)::Gamma |- t2 : T2   x#Gamma
  6180  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  6181          Gamma |- Let x be t1 in t2 : T2
  6182 
  6183 In this rule one wants to avoid all the binders that are introduced by
  6184 "close Gamma T1".  We are looking for other examples where this
  6185 feature might be useful.  Please let us know.
  6186 
  6187 
  6188 *** HOLCF ***
  6189 
  6190 * Reimplemented the simplification procedure for proving continuity
  6191 subgoals.  The new simproc is extensible; users can declare additional
  6192 continuity introduction rules with the attribute [cont2cont].
  6193 
  6194 * The continuity simproc now uses a different introduction rule for
  6195 solving continuity subgoals on terms with lambda abstractions.  In
  6196 some rare cases the new simproc may fail to solve subgoals that the
  6197 old one could solve, and "simp add: cont2cont_LAM" may be necessary.
  6198 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6199 
  6200 * Command 'fixrec': specification syntax now conforms to the general
  6201 format as seen in 'inductive' etc.  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  6202 examples.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6203 
  6204 
  6205 *** ZF ***
  6206 
  6207 * Proof of Zorn's Lemma for partial orders.
  6208 
  6209 
  6210 *** ML ***
  6211 
  6212 * Multithreading for Poly/ML 5.1/5.2 is no longer supported, only for
  6213 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.  Important note: the TimeLimit facility
  6214 depends on multithreading, so timouts will not work before Poly/ML
  6215 5.2.1!
  6216 
  6217 * High-level support for concurrent ML programming, see
  6218 src/Pure/Cuncurrent.  The data-oriented model of "future values" is
  6219 particularly convenient to organize independent functional
  6220 computations.  The concept of "synchronized variables" provides a
  6221 higher-order interface for components with shared state, avoiding the
  6222 delicate details of mutexes and condition variables.  (Requires
  6223 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  6224 
  6225 * ML bindings produced via Isar commands are stored within the Isar
  6226 context (theory or proof).  Consequently, commands like 'use' and 'ML'
  6227 become thread-safe and work with undo as expected (concerning
  6228 top-level bindings, not side-effects on global references).
  6229 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to provide proper Isar context when invoking the
  6230 compiler at runtime; really global bindings need to be given outside a
  6231 theory.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  6232 
  6233 * Command 'ML_prf' is analogous to 'ML' but works within a proof
  6234 context.  Top-level ML bindings are stored within the proof context in
  6235 a purely sequential fashion, disregarding the nested proof structure.
  6236 ML bindings introduced by 'ML_prf' are discarded at the end of the
  6237 proof.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  6238 
  6239 * Simplified ML attribute and method setup, cf. functions Attrib.setup
  6240 and Method.setup, as well as Isar commands 'attribute_setup' and
  6241 'method_setup'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for 'method_setup', need to simplify
  6242 existing code accordingly, or use plain 'setup' together with old
  6243 Method.add_method.
  6244 
  6245 * Simplified ML oracle interface Thm.add_oracle promotes 'a -> cterm
  6246 to 'a -> thm, while results are always tagged with an authentic oracle
  6247 name.  The Isar command 'oracle' is now polymorphic, no argument type
  6248 is specified.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify existing oracle code
  6249 accordingly.  Note that extra performance may be gained by producing
  6250 the cterm carefully, avoiding slow Thm.cterm_of.
  6251 
  6252 * Simplified interface for defining document antiquotations via
  6253 ThyOutput.antiquotation, ThyOutput.output, and optionally
  6254 ThyOutput.maybe_pretty_source.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify user
  6255 antiquotations accordingly, see src/Pure/Thy/thy_output.ML for common
  6256 examples.
  6257 
  6258 * More systematic treatment of long names, abstract name bindings, and
  6259 name space operations.  Basic operations on qualified names have been
  6260 move from structure NameSpace to Long_Name, e.g. Long_Name.base_name,
  6261 Long_Name.append.  Old type bstring has been mostly replaced by
  6262 abstract type binding (see structure Binding), which supports precise
  6263 qualification by packages and local theory targets, as well as proper
  6264 tracking of source positions.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to wrap old
  6265 bstring values into Binding.name, or better pass through abstract
  6266 bindings everywhere.  See further src/Pure/General/long_name.ML,
  6267 src/Pure/General/binding.ML and src/Pure/General/name_space.ML
  6268 
  6269 * Result facts (from PureThy.note_thms, ProofContext.note_thms,
  6270 LocalTheory.note etc.) now refer to the *full* internal name, not the
  6271 bstring as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY, not detected by ML type-checking!
  6272 
  6273 * Disposed old type and term read functions (Sign.read_def_typ,
  6274 Sign.read_typ, Sign.read_def_terms, Sign.read_term,
  6275 Thm.read_def_cterms, Thm.read_cterm etc.).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should
  6276 use regular Syntax.read_typ, Syntax.read_term, Syntax.read_typ_global,
  6277 Syntax.read_term_global etc.; see also OldGoals.read_term as last
  6278 resort for legacy applications.
  6279 
  6280 * Disposed old declarations, tactics, tactic combinators that refer to
  6281 the simpset or claset of an implicit theory (such as Addsimps,
  6282 Simp_tac, SIMPSET).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should use @{simpset} etc. in
  6283 embedded ML text, or local_simpset_of with a proper context passed as
  6284 explicit runtime argument.
  6285 
  6286 * Rules and tactics that read instantiations (read_instantiate,
  6287 res_inst_tac, thin_tac, subgoal_tac etc.) now demand a proper proof
  6288 context, which is required for parsing and type-checking.  Moreover,
  6289 the variables are specified as plain indexnames, not string encodings
  6290 thereof.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6291 
  6292 * Generic Toplevel.add_hook interface allows to analyze the result of
  6293 transactions.  E.g. see src/Pure/ProofGeneral/proof_general_pgip.ML
  6294 for theorem dependency output of transactions resulting in a new
  6295 theory state.
  6296 
  6297 * ML antiquotations: block-structured compilation context indicated by
  6298 \<lbrace> ... \<rbrace>; additional antiquotation forms:
  6299 
  6300   @{binding name}                         - basic name binding
  6301   @{let ?pat = term}                      - term abbreviation (HO matching)
  6302   @{note name = fact}                     - fact abbreviation
  6303   @{thm fact}                             - singleton fact (with attributes)
  6304   @{thms fact}                            - general fact (with attributes)
  6305   @{lemma prop by method}                 - singleton goal
  6306   @{lemma prop by meth1 meth2}            - singleton goal
  6307   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by method}      - general goal
  6308   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by meth1 meth2} - general goal
  6309   @{lemma (open) ...}                     - open derivation
  6310 
  6311 
  6312 *** System ***
  6313 
  6314 * The Isabelle "emacs" tool provides a specific interface to invoke
  6315 Proof General / Emacs, with more explicit failure if that is not
  6316 installed (the old isabelle-interface script silently falls back on
  6317 isabelle-process).  The PROOFGENERAL_HOME setting determines the
  6318 installation location of the Proof General distribution.
  6319 
  6320 * Isabelle/lib/classes/Pure.jar provides basic support to integrate
  6321 the Isabelle process into a JVM/Scala application.  See
  6322 Isabelle/lib/jedit/plugin for a minimal example.  (The obsolete Java
  6323 process wrapper has been discontinued.)
  6324 
  6325 * Added homegrown Isabelle font with unicode layout, see lib/fonts.
  6326 
  6327 * Various status messages (with exact source position information) are
  6328 emitted, if proper markup print mode is enabled.  This allows
  6329 user-interface components to provide detailed feedback on internal
  6330 prover operations.
  6331 
  6332 
  6333 
  6334 New in Isabelle2008 (June 2008)
  6335 -------------------------------
  6336 
  6337 *** General ***
  6338 
  6339 * The Isabelle/Isar Reference Manual (isar-ref) has been reorganized
  6340 and updated, with formally checked references as hyperlinks.
  6341 
  6342 * Theory loader: use_thy (and similar operations) no longer set the
  6343 implicit ML context, which was occasionally hard to predict and in
  6344 conflict with concurrency.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML within Isar which
  6345 provides a proper context already.
  6346 
  6347 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  6348 file are no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, regular 'uses' and
  6349 'use' within a theory file will do the job.
  6350 
  6351 * Name space merge now observes canonical order, i.e. the second space
  6352 is inserted into the first one, while existing entries in the first
  6353 space take precedence.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, may try to
  6354 swap theory imports.
  6355 
  6356 * Syntax: symbol \<chi> is now considered a letter.  Potential
  6357 INCOMPATIBILITY in identifier syntax etc.
  6358 
  6359 * Outer syntax: string tokens no longer admit escaped white space,
  6360 which was an accidental (undocumented) feature.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  6361 white space without escapes.
  6362 
  6363 * Outer syntax: string tokens may contain arbitrary character codes
  6364 specified via 3 decimal digits (as in SML).  E.g. "foo\095bar" for
  6365 "foo_bar".
  6366 
  6367 
  6368 *** Pure ***
  6369 
  6370 * Context-dependent token translations.  Default setup reverts locally
  6371 fixed variables, and adds hilite markup for undeclared frees.
  6372 
  6373 * Unused theorems can be found using the new command 'unused_thms'.
  6374 There are three ways of invoking it:
  6375 
  6376 (1) unused_thms
  6377      Only finds unused theorems in the current theory.
  6378 
  6379 (2) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n -
  6380      Finds unused theorems in the current theory and all of its ancestors,
  6381      excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of their ancestors.
  6382 
  6383 (3) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n - thy'_1 ... thy'_m
  6384      Finds unused theorems in the theories thy'_1 ... thy'_m and all of
  6385      their ancestors, excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of
  6386      their ancestors.
  6387 
  6388 In order to increase the readability of the list produced by
  6389 unused_thms, theorems that have been created by a particular instance
  6390 of a theory command such as 'inductive' or 'function' are considered
  6391 to belong to the same "group", meaning that if at least one theorem in
  6392 this group is used, the other theorems in the same group are no longer
  6393 reported as unused.  Moreover, if all theorems in the group are
  6394 unused, only one theorem in the group is displayed.
  6395 
  6396 Note that proof objects have to be switched on in order for
  6397 unused_thms to work properly (i.e. !proofs must be >= 1, which is
  6398 usually the case when using Proof General with the default settings).
  6399 
  6400 * Authentic naming of facts disallows ad-hoc overwriting of previous
  6401 theorems within the same name space.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to remove
  6402 duplicate fact bindings, or even accidental fact duplications.  Note
  6403 that tools may maintain dynamically scoped facts systematically, using
  6404 PureThy.add_thms_dynamic.
  6405 
  6406 * Command 'hide' now allows to hide from "fact" name space as well.
  6407 
  6408 * Eliminated destructive theorem database, simpset, claset, and
  6409 clasimpset.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, really need to observe linear
  6410 update of theories within ML code.
  6411 
  6412 * Eliminated theory ProtoPure and CPure, leaving just one Pure theory.
  6413 INCOMPATIBILITY, object-logics depending on former Pure require
  6414 additional setup PureThy.old_appl_syntax_setup; object-logics
  6415 depending on former CPure need to refer to Pure.
  6416 
  6417 * Commands 'use' and 'ML' are now purely functional, operating on
  6418 theory/local_theory.  Removed former 'ML_setup' (on theory), use 'ML'
  6419 instead.  Added 'ML_val' as mere diagnostic replacement for 'ML'.
  6420 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6421 
  6422 * Command 'setup': discontinued implicit version with ML reference.
  6423 
  6424 * Instantiation target allows for simultaneous specification of class
  6425 instance operations together with an instantiation proof.
  6426 Type-checking phase allows to refer to class operations uniformly.
  6427 See src/HOL/Complex/Complex.thy for an Isar example and
  6428 src/HOL/Library/Eval.thy for an ML example.
  6429 
  6430 * Indexing of literal facts: be more serious about including only
  6431 facts from the visible specification/proof context, but not the
  6432 background context (locale etc.).  Affects `prop` notation and method
  6433 "fact".  INCOMPATIBILITY: need to name facts explicitly in rare
  6434 situations.
  6435 
  6436 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": removed obsolete/undocumented
  6437 "(open)" option, which used to expose internal bound variables to the
  6438 proof text.
  6439 
  6440 * Isar statements: removed obsolete case "rule_context".
  6441 INCOMPATIBILITY, better use explicit fixes/assumes.
  6442 
  6443 * Locale proofs: default proof step now includes 'unfold_locales';
  6444 hence 'proof' without argument may be used to unfold locale
  6445 predicates.
  6446 
  6447 
  6448 *** Document preparation ***
  6449 
  6450 * Simplified pdfsetup.sty: color/hyperref is used unconditionally for
  6451 both pdf and dvi (hyperlinks usually work in xdvi as well); removed
  6452 obsolete thumbpdf setup (contemporary PDF viewers do this on the
  6453 spot); renamed link color from "darkblue" to "linkcolor" (default
  6454 value unchanged, can be redefined via \definecolor); no longer sets
  6455 "a4paper" option (unnecessary or even intrusive).
  6456 
  6457 * Antiquotation @{lemma A method} proves proposition A by the given
  6458 method (either a method name or a method name plus (optional) method
  6459 arguments in parentheses) and prints A just like @{prop A}.
  6460 
  6461 
  6462 *** HOL ***
  6463 
  6464 * New primrec package.  Specification syntax conforms in style to
  6465 definition/function/....  No separate induction rule is provided.  The
  6466 "primrec" command distinguishes old-style and new-style specifications
  6467 by syntax.  The former primrec package is now named OldPrimrecPackage.
  6468 When adjusting theories, beware: constants stemming from new-style
  6469 primrec specifications have authentic syntax.
  6470 
  6471 * Metis prover is now an order of magnitude faster, and also works
  6472 with multithreading.
  6473 
  6474 * Metis: the maximum number of clauses that can be produced from a
  6475 theorem is now given by the attribute max_clauses.  Theorems that
  6476 exceed this number are ignored, with a warning printed.
  6477 
  6478 * Sledgehammer no longer produces structured proofs by default. To
  6479 enable, declare [[sledgehammer_full = true]].  Attributes
  6480 reconstruction_modulus, reconstruction_sorts renamed
  6481 sledgehammer_modulus, sledgehammer_sorts.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6482 
  6483 * Method "induct_scheme" derives user-specified induction rules
  6484 from well-founded induction and completeness of patterns. This factors
  6485 out some operations that are done internally by the function package
  6486 and makes them available separately.  See
  6487 src/HOL/ex/Induction_Scheme.thy for examples.
  6488 
  6489 * More flexible generation of measure functions for termination
  6490 proofs: Measure functions can be declared by proving a rule of the
  6491 form "is_measure f" and giving it the [measure_function] attribute.
  6492 The "is_measure" predicate is logically meaningless (always true), and
  6493 just guides the heuristic.  To find suitable measure functions, the
  6494 termination prover sets up the goal "is_measure ?f" of the appropriate
  6495 type and generates all solutions by Prolog-style backward proof using
  6496 the declared rules.
  6497 
  6498 This setup also deals with rules like
  6499 
  6500   "is_measure f ==> is_measure (list_size f)"
  6501 
  6502 which accommodates nested datatypes that recurse through lists.
  6503 Similar rules are predeclared for products and option types.
  6504 
  6505 * Turned the type of sets "'a set" into an abbreviation for "'a => bool"
  6506 
  6507   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  6508 
  6509   - Definitions of overloaded constants on sets have to be replaced by
  6510     definitions on => and bool.
  6511 
  6512   - Some definitions of overloaded operators on sets can now be proved
  6513     using the definitions of the operators on => and bool.  Therefore,
  6514     the following theorems have been renamed:
  6515 
  6516       subset_def   -> subset_eq
  6517       psubset_def  -> psubset_eq
  6518       set_diff_def -> set_diff_eq
  6519       Compl_def    -> Compl_eq
  6520       Sup_set_def  -> Sup_set_eq
  6521       Inf_set_def  -> Inf_set_eq
  6522       sup_set_def  -> sup_set_eq
  6523       inf_set_def  -> inf_set_eq
  6524 
  6525   - Due to the incompleteness of the HO unification algorithm, some
  6526     rules such as subst may require manual instantiation, if some of
  6527     the unknowns in the rule is a set.
  6528 
  6529   - Higher order unification and forward proofs:
  6530     The proof pattern
  6531 
  6532       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  6533       then have "EX S. P S" ..
  6534 
  6535     no longer works (due to the incompleteness of the HO unification
  6536     algorithm) and must be replaced by the pattern
  6537 
  6538       have "EX S. P S"
  6539       proof
  6540         show "P S" <...>
  6541       qed
  6542 
  6543   - Calculational reasoning with subst (or similar rules):
  6544     The proof pattern
  6545 
  6546       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  6547       also have "S = T" <...>
  6548       finally have "P T" .
  6549 
  6550     no longer works (for similar reasons as the previous example) and
  6551     must be replaced by something like
  6552 
  6553       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  6554       moreover have "S = T" <...>
  6555       ultimately have "P T" by simp
  6556 
  6557   - Tactics or packages written in ML code:
  6558     Code performing pattern matching on types via
  6559 
  6560       Type ("set", [T]) => ...
  6561 
  6562     must be rewritten. Moreover, functions like strip_type or
  6563     binder_types no longer return the right value when applied to a
  6564     type of the form
  6565 
  6566       T1 => ... => Tn => U => bool
  6567 
  6568     rather than
  6569 
  6570       T1 => ... => Tn => U set
  6571 
  6572 * Merged theories Wellfounded_Recursion, Accessible_Part and
  6573 Wellfounded_Relations to theory Wellfounded.
  6574 
  6575 * Explicit class "eq" for executable equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6576 
  6577 * Class finite no longer treats UNIV as class parameter.  Use class
  6578 enum from theory Library/Enum instead to achieve a similar effect.
  6579 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6580 
  6581 * Theory List: rule list_induct2 now has explicitly named cases "Nil"
  6582 and "Cons".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6583 
  6584 * HOL (and FOL): renamed variables in rules imp_elim and swap.
  6585 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6586 
  6587 * Theory Product_Type: duplicated lemmas split_Pair_apply and
  6588 injective_fst_snd removed, use split_eta and prod_eqI instead.
  6589 Renamed upd_fst to apfst and upd_snd to apsnd.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6590 
  6591 * Theory Nat: removed redundant lemmas that merely duplicate lemmas of
  6592 the same name in theory Orderings:
  6593 
  6594   less_trans
  6595   less_linear
  6596   le_imp_less_or_eq
  6597   le_less_trans
  6598   less_le_trans
  6599   less_not_sym
  6600   less_asym
  6601 
  6602 Renamed less_imp_le to less_imp_le_nat, and less_irrefl to
  6603 less_irrefl_nat.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to more general types
  6604 and different variable names.
  6605 
  6606 * Library/Option_ord.thy: Canonical order on option type.
  6607 
  6608 * Library/RBT.thy: Red-black trees, an efficient implementation of
  6609 finite maps.
  6610 
  6611 * Library/Countable.thy: Type class for countable types.
  6612 
  6613 * Theory Int: The representation of numerals has changed.  The infix
  6614 operator BIT and the bit datatype with constructors B0 and B1 have
  6615 disappeared.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "Int.Bit0 x" and "Int.Bit1 y" in
  6616 place of "x BIT bit.B0" and "y BIT bit.B1", respectively.  Theorems
  6617 involving BIT, B0, or B1 have been renamed with "Bit0" or "Bit1"
  6618 accordingly.
  6619 
  6620 * Theory Nat: definition of <= and < on natural numbers no longer
  6621 depend on well-founded relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Definitions
  6622 le_def and less_def have disappeared.  Consider lemmas not_less
  6623 [symmetric, where ?'a = nat] and less_eq [symmetric] instead.
  6624 
  6625 * Theory Finite_Set: locales ACf, ACe, ACIf, ACIfSL and ACIfSLlin
  6626 (whose purpose mainly is for various fold_set functionals) have been
  6627 abandoned in favor of the existing algebraic classes
  6628 ab_semigroup_mult, comm_monoid_mult, ab_semigroup_idem_mult,
  6629 lower_semilattice (resp. upper_semilattice) and linorder.
  6630 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6631 
  6632 * Theory Transitive_Closure: induct and cases rules now declare proper
  6633 case_names ("base" and "step").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6634 
  6635 * Theorem Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct generalized to complete
  6636 lattices.  The form set-specific version is available as
  6637 Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct_set.
  6638 
  6639 * Renamed theorems "power.simps" to "power_int.simps".
  6640 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6641 
  6642 * Class semiring_div provides basic abstract properties of semirings
  6643 with division and modulo operations.  Subsumes former class dvd_mod.
  6644 
  6645 * Merged theories IntDef, Numeral and IntArith into unified theory
  6646 Int.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6647 
  6648 * Theory Library/Code_Index: type "index" now represents natural
  6649 numbers rather than integers.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6650 
  6651 * New class "uminus" with operation "uminus" (split of from class
  6652 "minus" which now only has operation "minus", binary).
  6653 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6654 
  6655 * Constants "card", "internal_split", "option_map" now with authentic
  6656 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6657 
  6658 * Definitions subset_def, psubset_def, set_diff_def, Compl_def,
  6659 le_bool_def, less_bool_def, le_fun_def, less_fun_def, inf_bool_def,
  6660 sup_bool_def, Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, inf_fun_def, sup_fun_def,
  6661 Inf_fun_def, Sup_fun_def, inf_set_def, sup_set_def, Inf_set_def,
  6662 Sup_set_def, le_def, less_def, option_map_def now with object
  6663 equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6664 
  6665 * Records. Removed K_record, and replaced it by pure lambda term
  6666 %x. c. The simplifier setup is now more robust against eta expansion.
  6667 INCOMPATIBILITY: in cases explicitly referring to K_record.
  6668 
  6669 * Library/Multiset: {#a, b, c#} abbreviates {#a#} + {#b#} + {#c#}.
  6670 
  6671 * Library/ListVector: new theory of arithmetic vector operations.
  6672 
  6673 * Library/Order_Relation: new theory of various orderings as sets of
  6674 pairs.  Defines preorders, partial orders, linear orders and
  6675 well-orders on sets and on types.
  6676 
  6677 
  6678 *** ZF ***
  6679 
  6680 * Renamed some theories to allow to loading both ZF and HOL in the
  6681 same session:
  6682 
  6683   Datatype  -> Datatype_ZF
  6684   Inductive -> Inductive_ZF
  6685   Int       -> Int_ZF
  6686   IntDiv    -> IntDiv_ZF
  6687   Nat       -> Nat_ZF
  6688   List      -> List_ZF
  6689   Main      -> Main_ZF
  6690 
  6691 INCOMPATIBILITY: ZF theories that import individual theories below
  6692 Main might need to be adapted.  Regular theory Main is still
  6693 available, as trivial extension of Main_ZF.
  6694 
  6695 
  6696 *** ML ***
  6697 
  6698 * ML within Isar: antiquotation @{const name} or @{const
  6699 name(typargs)} produces statically-checked Const term.
  6700 
  6701 * Functor NamedThmsFun: data is available to the user as dynamic fact
  6702 (of the same name).  Removed obsolete print command.
  6703 
  6704 * Removed obsolete "use_legacy_bindings" function.
  6705 
  6706 * The ``print mode'' is now a thread-local value derived from a global
  6707 template (the former print_mode reference), thus access becomes
  6708 non-critical.  The global print_mode reference is for session
  6709 management only; user-code should use print_mode_value,
  6710 print_mode_active, PrintMode.setmp etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6711 
  6712 * Functions system/system_out provide a robust way to invoke external
  6713 shell commands, with propagation of interrupts (requires Poly/ML
  6714 5.2.1).  Do not use OS.Process.system etc. from the basis library!
  6715 
  6716 
  6717 *** System ***
  6718 
  6719 * Default settings: PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS no longer impose xemacs ---
  6720 in accordance with Proof General 3.7, which prefers GNU emacs.
  6721 
  6722 * isatool tty runs Isabelle process with plain tty interaction;
  6723 optional line editor may be specified via ISABELLE_LINE_EDITOR
  6724 setting, the default settings attempt to locate "ledit" and "rlwrap".
  6725 
  6726 * isatool browser now works with Cygwin as well, using general
  6727 "javapath" function defined in Isabelle process environment.
  6728 
  6729 * YXML notation provides a simple and efficient alternative to
  6730 standard XML transfer syntax.  See src/Pure/General/yxml.ML and
  6731 isatool yxml as described in the Isabelle system manual.
  6732 
  6733 * JVM class isabelle.IsabelleProcess (located in Isabelle/lib/classes)
  6734 provides general wrapper for managing an Isabelle process in a robust
  6735 fashion, with ``cooked'' output from stdin/stderr.
  6736 
  6737 * Rudimentary Isabelle plugin for jEdit (see Isabelle/lib/jedit),
  6738 based on Isabelle/JVM process wrapper (see Isabelle/lib/classes).
  6739 
  6740 * Removed obsolete THIS_IS_ISABELLE_BUILD feature.  NB: the documented
  6741 way of changing the user's settings is via
  6742 ISABELLE_HOME_USER/etc/settings, which is a fully featured bash
  6743 script.
  6744 
  6745 * Multithreading.max_threads := 0 refers to the number of actual CPU
  6746 cores of the underlying machine, which is a good starting point for
  6747 optimal performance tuning.  The corresponding usedir option -M allows
  6748 "max" as an alias for "0".  WARNING: does not work on certain versions
  6749 of Mac OS (with Poly/ML 5.1).
  6750 
  6751 * isabelle-process: non-ML sessions are run with "nice", to reduce the
  6752 adverse effect of Isabelle flooding interactive front-ends (notably
  6753 ProofGeneral / XEmacs).
  6754 
  6755 
  6756 
  6757 New in Isabelle2007 (November 2007)
  6758 -----------------------------------
  6759 
  6760 *** General ***
  6761 
  6762 * More uniform information about legacy features, notably a
  6763 warning/error of "Legacy feature: ...", depending on the state of the
  6764 tolerate_legacy_features flag (default true). FUTURE INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6765 legacy features will disappear eventually.
  6766 
  6767 * Theory syntax: the header format ``theory A = B + C:'' has been
  6768 discontinued in favour of ``theory A imports B C begin''.  Use isatool
  6769 fixheaders to convert existing theory files.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6770 
  6771 * Theory syntax: the old non-Isar theory file format has been
  6772 discontinued altogether.  Note that ML proof scripts may still be used
  6773 with Isar theories; migration is usually quite simple with the ML
  6774 function use_legacy_bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6775 
  6776 * Theory syntax: some popular names (e.g. 'class', 'declaration',
  6777 'fun', 'help', 'if') are now keywords.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use double
  6778 quotes.
  6779 
  6780 * Theory loader: be more serious about observing the static theory
  6781 header specifications (including optional directories), but not the
  6782 accidental file locations of previously successful loads.  The strict
  6783 update policy of former update_thy is now already performed by
  6784 use_thy, so the former has been removed; use_thys updates several
  6785 theories simultaneously, just as 'imports' within a theory header
  6786 specification, but without merging the results.  Potential
  6787 INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to refine theory headers and commands
  6788 ROOT.ML which depend on load order.
  6789 
  6790 * Theory loader: optional support for content-based file
  6791 identification, instead of the traditional scheme of full physical
  6792 path plus date stamp; configured by the ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT setting
  6793 (cf. the system manual).  The new scheme allows to work with
  6794 non-finished theories in persistent session images, such that source
  6795 files may be moved later on without requiring reloads.
  6796 
  6797 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  6798 file (with the same base name as the theory) are considered a legacy
  6799 feature, which will disappear eventually. Even now, the theory loader
  6800 no longer maintains dependencies on such files.
  6801 
  6802 * Syntax: the scope for resolving ambiguities via type-inference is
  6803 now limited to individual terms, instead of whole simultaneous
  6804 specifications as before. This greatly reduces the complexity of the
  6805 syntax module and improves flexibility by separating parsing and
  6806 type-checking. INCOMPATIBILITY: additional type-constraints (explicit
  6807 'fixes' etc.) are required in rare situations.
  6808 
  6809 * Syntax: constants introduced by new-style packages ('definition',
  6810 'abbreviation' etc.) are passed through the syntax module in
  6811 ``authentic mode''. This means that associated mixfix annotations
  6812 really stick to such constants, independently of potential name space
  6813 ambiguities introduced later on. INCOMPATIBILITY: constants in parse
  6814 trees are represented slightly differently, may need to adapt syntax
  6815 translations accordingly. Use CONST marker in 'translations' and
  6816 @{const_syntax} antiquotation in 'parse_translation' etc.
  6817 
  6818 * Legacy goal package: reduced interface to the bare minimum required
  6819 to keep existing proof scripts running.  Most other user-level
  6820 functions are now part of the OldGoals structure, which is *not* open
  6821 by default (consider isatool expandshort before open OldGoals).
  6822 Removed top_sg, prin, printyp, pprint_term/typ altogether, because
  6823 these tend to cause confusion about the actual goal (!) context being
  6824 used here, which is not necessarily the same as the_context().
  6825 
  6826 * Command 'find_theorems': supports "*" wild-card in "name:"
  6827 criterion; "with_dups" option.  Certain ProofGeneral versions might
  6828 support a specific search form (see ProofGeneral/CHANGES).
  6829 
  6830 * The ``prems limit'' option (cf. ProofContext.prems_limit) is now -1
  6831 by default, which means that "prems" (and also "fixed variables") are
  6832 suppressed from proof state output.  Note that the ProofGeneral
  6833 settings mechanism allows to change and save options persistently, but
  6834 older versions of Isabelle will fail to start up if a negative prems
  6835 limit is imposed.
  6836 
  6837 * Local theory targets may be specified by non-nested blocks of
  6838 ``context/locale/class ... begin'' followed by ``end''.  The body may
  6839 contain definitions, theorems etc., including any derived mechanism
  6840 that has been implemented on top of these primitives.  This concept
  6841 generalizes the existing ``theorem (in ...)'' towards more versatility
  6842 and scalability.
  6843 
  6844 * Proof General interface: proper undo of final 'end' command;
  6845 discontinued Isabelle/classic mode (ML proof scripts).
  6846 
  6847 
  6848 *** Document preparation ***
  6849 
  6850 * Added antiquotation @{theory name} which prints the given name,
  6851 after checking that it refers to a valid ancestor theory in the
  6852 current context.
  6853 
  6854 * Added antiquotations @{ML_type text} and @{ML_struct text} which
  6855 check the given source text as ML type/structure, printing verbatim.
  6856 
  6857 * Added antiquotation @{abbrev "c args"} which prints the abbreviation
  6858 "c args == rhs" given in the current context.  (Any number of
  6859 arguments may be given on the LHS.)
  6860 
  6861 
  6862 *** Pure ***
  6863 
  6864 * The 'class' package offers a combination of axclass and locale to
  6865 achieve Haskell-like type classes in Isabelle.  Definitions and
  6866 theorems within a class context produce both relative results (with
  6867 implicit parameters according to the locale context), and polymorphic
  6868 constants with qualified polymorphism (according to the class
  6869 context).  Within the body context of a 'class' target, a separate
  6870 syntax layer ("user space type system") takes care of converting
  6871 between global polymorphic consts and internal locale representation.
  6872 See src/HOL/ex/Classpackage.thy for examples (as well as main HOL).
  6873 "isatool doc classes" provides a tutorial.
  6874 
  6875 * Generic code generator framework allows to generate executable
  6876 code for ML and Haskell (including Isabelle classes).  A short usage
  6877 sketch:
  6878 
  6879     internal compilation:
  6880         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML
  6881     writing SML code to a file:
  6882         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML <filename>
  6883     writing OCaml code to a file:
  6884         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in OCaml <filename>
  6885     writing Haskell code to a bunch of files:
  6886         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in Haskell <filename>
  6887 
  6888     evaluating closed propositions to True/False using code generation:
  6889         method ``eval''
  6890 
  6891 Reasonable default setup of framework in HOL.
  6892 
  6893 Theorem attributs for selecting and transforming function equations theorems:
  6894 
  6895     [code fun]:        select a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  6896     [code fun del]:    deselect a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  6897     [code inline]:     select an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  6898     [code inline del]: deselect an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  6899 
  6900 User-defined serializations (target in {SML, OCaml, Haskell}):
  6901 
  6902     code_const <and-list of constants (term syntax)>
  6903       {(target) <and-list of const target syntax>}+
  6904 
  6905     code_type <and-list of type constructors>
  6906       {(target) <and-list of type target syntax>}+
  6907 
  6908     code_instance <and-list of instances>
  6909       {(target)}+
  6910         where instance ::= <type constructor> :: <class>
  6911 
  6912     code_class <and_list of classes>
  6913       {(target) <and-list of class target syntax>}+
  6914         where class target syntax ::= <class name> {where {<classop> == <target syntax>}+}?
  6915 
  6916 code_instance and code_class only are effective to target Haskell.
  6917 
  6918 For example usage see src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator.thy and
  6919 src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator_Pretty.thy.  A separate tutorial on code
  6920 generation from Isabelle/HOL theories is available via "isatool doc
  6921 codegen".
  6922 
  6923 * Code generator: consts in 'consts_code' Isar commands are now
  6924 referred to by usual term syntax (including optional type
  6925 annotations).
  6926 
  6927 * Command 'no_translations' removes translation rules from theory
  6928 syntax.
  6929 
  6930 * Overloaded definitions are now actually checked for acyclic
  6931 dependencies.  The overloading scheme is slightly more general than
  6932 that of Haskell98, although Isabelle does not demand an exact
  6933 correspondence to type class and instance declarations.
  6934 INCOMPATIBILITY, use ``defs (unchecked overloaded)'' to admit more
  6935 exotic versions of overloading -- at the discretion of the user!
  6936 
  6937 Polymorphic constants are represented via type arguments, i.e. the
  6938 instantiation that matches an instance against the most general
  6939 declaration given in the signature.  For example, with the declaration
  6940 c :: 'a => 'a => 'a, an instance c :: nat => nat => nat is represented
  6941 as c(nat).  Overloading is essentially simultaneous structural
  6942 recursion over such type arguments.  Incomplete specification patterns
  6943 impose global constraints on all occurrences, e.g. c('a * 'a) on the
  6944 LHS means that more general c('a * 'b) will be disallowed on any RHS.
  6945 Command 'print_theory' outputs the normalized system of recursive
  6946 equations, see section "definitions".
  6947 
  6948 * Configuration options are maintained within the theory or proof
  6949 context (with name and type bool/int/string), providing a very simple
  6950 interface to a poor-man's version of general context data.  Tools may
  6951 declare options in ML (e.g. using Attrib.config_int) and then refer to
  6952 these values using Config.get etc.  Users may change options via an
  6953 associated attribute of the same name.  This form of context
  6954 declaration works particularly well with commands 'declare' or
  6955 'using', for example ``declare [[foo = 42]]''.  Thus it has become
  6956 very easy to avoid global references, which would not observe Isar
  6957 toplevel undo/redo and fail to work with multithreading.
  6958 
  6959 Various global ML references of Pure and HOL have been turned into
  6960 configuration options:
  6961 
  6962   Unify.search_bound		unify_search_bound
  6963   Unify.trace_bound		unify_trace_bound
  6964   Unify.trace_simp		unify_trace_simp
  6965   Unify.trace_types		unify_trace_types
  6966   Simplifier.simp_depth_limit	simp_depth_limit
  6967   Blast.depth_limit		blast_depth_limit
  6968   DatatypeProp.dtK		datatype_distinctness_limit
  6969   fast_arith_neq_limit  	fast_arith_neq_limit
  6970   fast_arith_split_limit	fast_arith_split_limit
  6971 
  6972 * Named collections of theorems may be easily installed as context
  6973 data using the functor NamedThmsFun (see also
  6974 src/Pure/Tools/named_thms.ML).  The user may add or delete facts via
  6975 attributes; there is also a toplevel print command.  This facility is
  6976 just a common case of general context data, which is the preferred way
  6977 for anything more complex than just a list of facts in canonical
  6978 order.
  6979 
  6980 * Isar: command 'declaration' augments a local theory by generic
  6981 declaration functions written in ML.  This enables arbitrary content
  6982 being added to the context, depending on a morphism that tells the
  6983 difference of the original declaration context wrt. the application
  6984 context encountered later on.
  6985 
  6986 * Isar: proper interfaces for simplification procedures.  Command
  6987 'simproc_setup' declares named simprocs (with match patterns, and body
  6988 text in ML).  Attribute "simproc" adds/deletes simprocs in the current
  6989 context.  ML antiquotation @{simproc name} retrieves named simprocs.
  6990 
  6991 * Isar: an extra pair of brackets around attribute declarations
  6992 abbreviates a theorem reference involving an internal dummy fact,
  6993 which will be ignored later --- only the effect of the attribute on
  6994 the background context will persist.  This form of in-place
  6995 declarations is particularly useful with commands like 'declare' and
  6996 'using', for example ``have A using [[simproc a]] by simp''.
  6997 
  6998 * Isar: method "assumption" (and implicit closing of subproofs) now
  6999 takes simple non-atomic goal assumptions into account: after applying
  7000 an assumption as a rule the resulting subgoals are solved by atomic
  7001 assumption steps.  This is particularly useful to finish 'obtain'
  7002 goals, such as "!!x. (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> P x ==> thesis",
  7003 without referring to the original premise "!!x. P x ==> thesis" in the
  7004 Isar proof context.  POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY: method "assumption" is
  7005 more permissive.
  7006 
  7007 * Isar: implicit use of prems from the Isar proof context is
  7008 considered a legacy feature.  Common applications like ``have A .''
  7009 may be replaced by ``have A by fact'' or ``note `A`''.  In general,
  7010 referencing facts explicitly here improves readability and
  7011 maintainability of proof texts.
  7012 
  7013 * Isar: improper proof element 'guess' is like 'obtain', but derives
  7014 the obtained context from the course of reasoning!  For example:
  7015 
  7016   assume "EX x y. A x & B y"   -- "any previous fact"
  7017   then guess x and y by clarify
  7018 
  7019 This technique is potentially adventurous, depending on the facts and
  7020 proof tools being involved here.
  7021 
  7022 * Isar: known facts from the proof context may be specified as literal
  7023 propositions, using ASCII back-quote syntax.  This works wherever
  7024 named facts used to be allowed so far, in proof commands, proof
  7025 methods, attributes etc.  Literal facts are retrieved from the context
  7026 according to unification of type and term parameters.  For example,
  7027 provided that "A" and "A ==> B" and "!!x. P x ==> Q x" are known
  7028 theorems in the current context, then these are valid literal facts:
  7029 `A` and `A ==> B` and `!!x. P x ==> Q x" as well as `P a ==> Q a` etc.
  7030 
  7031 There is also a proof method "fact" which does the same composition
  7032 for explicit goal states, e.g. the following proof texts coincide with
  7033 certain special cases of literal facts:
  7034 
  7035   have "A" by fact                 ==  note `A`
  7036   have "A ==> B" by fact           ==  note `A ==> B`
  7037   have "!!x. P x ==> Q x" by fact  ==  note `!!x. P x ==> Q x`
  7038   have "P a ==> Q a" by fact       ==  note `P a ==> Q a`
  7039 
  7040 * Isar: ":" (colon) is no longer a symbolic identifier character in
  7041 outer syntax.  Thus symbolic identifiers may be used without
  7042 additional white space in declarations like this: ``assume *: A''.
  7043 
  7044 * Isar: 'print_facts' prints all local facts of the current context,
  7045 both named and unnamed ones.
  7046 
  7047 * Isar: 'def' now admits simultaneous definitions, e.g.:
  7048 
  7049   def x == "t" and y == "u"
  7050 
  7051 * Isar: added command 'unfolding', which is structurally similar to
  7052 'using', but affects both the goal state and facts by unfolding given
  7053 rewrite rules.  Thus many occurrences of the 'unfold' method or
  7054 'unfolded' attribute may be replaced by first-class proof text.
  7055 
  7056 * Isar: methods 'unfold' / 'fold', attributes 'unfolded' / 'folded',
  7057 and command 'unfolding' now all support object-level equalities
  7058 (potentially conditional).  The underlying notion of rewrite rule is
  7059 analogous to the 'rule_format' attribute, but *not* that of the
  7060 Simplifier (which is usually more generous).
  7061 
  7062 * Isar: the new attribute [rotated n] (default n = 1) rotates the
  7063 premises of a theorem by n. Useful in conjunction with drule.
  7064 
  7065 * Isar: the goal restriction operator [N] (default N = 1) evaluates a
  7066 method expression within a sandbox consisting of the first N
  7067 sub-goals, which need to exist.  For example, ``simp_all [3]''
  7068 simplifies the first three sub-goals, while (rule foo, simp_all)[]
  7069 simplifies all new goals that emerge from applying rule foo to the
  7070 originally first one.
  7071 
  7072 * Isar: schematic goals are no longer restricted to higher-order
  7073 patterns; e.g. ``lemma "?P(?x)" by (rule TrueI)'' now works as
  7074 expected.
  7075 
  7076 * Isar: the conclusion of a long theorem statement is now either
  7077 'shows' (a simultaneous conjunction, as before), or 'obtains'
  7078 (essentially a disjunction of cases with local parameters and
  7079 assumptions).  The latter allows to express general elimination rules
  7080 adequately; in this notation common elimination rules look like this:
  7081 
  7082   lemma exE:    -- "EX x. P x ==> (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  7083     assumes "EX x. P x"
  7084     obtains x where "P x"
  7085 
  7086   lemma conjE:  -- "A & B ==> (A ==> B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  7087     assumes "A & B"
  7088     obtains A and B
  7089 
  7090   lemma disjE:  -- "A | B ==> (A ==> thesis) ==> (B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  7091     assumes "A | B"
  7092     obtains
  7093       A
  7094     | B
  7095 
  7096 The subsequent classical rules even refer to the formal "thesis"
  7097 explicitly:
  7098 
  7099   lemma classical:     -- "(~ thesis ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  7100     obtains "~ thesis"
  7101 
  7102   lemma Peirce's_Law:  -- "((thesis ==> something) ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  7103     obtains "thesis ==> something"
  7104 
  7105 The actual proof of an 'obtains' statement is analogous to that of the
  7106 Isar proof element 'obtain', only that there may be several cases.
  7107 Optional case names may be specified in parentheses; these will be
  7108 available both in the present proof and as annotations in the
  7109 resulting rule, for later use with the 'cases' method (cf. attribute
  7110 case_names).
  7111 
  7112 * Isar: the assumptions of a long theorem statement are available as
  7113 "assms" fact in the proof context.  This is more appropriate than the
  7114 (historical) "prems", which refers to all assumptions of the current
  7115 context, including those from the target locale, proof body etc.
  7116 
  7117 * Isar: 'print_statement' prints theorems from the current theory or
  7118 proof context in long statement form, according to the syntax of a
  7119 top-level lemma.
  7120 
  7121 * Isar: 'obtain' takes an optional case name for the local context
  7122 introduction rule (default "that").
  7123 
  7124 * Isar: removed obsolete 'concl is' patterns.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  7125 explicit (is "_ ==> ?foo") in the rare cases where this still happens
  7126 to occur.
  7127 
  7128 * Pure: syntax "CONST name" produces a fully internalized constant
  7129 according to the current context.  This is particularly useful for
  7130 syntax translations that should refer to internal constant
  7131 representations independently of name spaces.
  7132 
  7133 * Pure: syntax constant for foo (binder "FOO ") is called "foo_binder"
  7134 instead of "FOO ". This allows multiple binder declarations to coexist
  7135 in the same context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7136 
  7137 * Isar/locales: 'notation' provides a robust interface to the 'syntax'
  7138 primitive that also works in a locale context (both for constants and
  7139 fixed variables). Type declaration and internal syntactic representation
  7140 of given constants retrieved from the context. Likewise, the
  7141 'no_notation' command allows to remove given syntax annotations from the
  7142 current context.
  7143 
  7144 * Isar/locales: new derived specification elements 'axiomatization',
  7145 'definition', 'abbreviation', which support type-inference, admit
  7146 object-level specifications (equality, equivalence).  See also the
  7147 isar-ref manual.  Examples:
  7148 
  7149   axiomatization
  7150     eq  (infix "===" 50) where
  7151     eq_refl: "x === x" and eq_subst: "x === y ==> P x ==> P y"
  7152 
  7153   definition "f x y = x + y + 1"
  7154   definition g where "g x = f x x"
  7155 
  7156   abbreviation
  7157     neq  (infix "=!=" 50) where
  7158     "x =!= y == ~ (x === y)"
  7159 
  7160 These specifications may be also used in a locale context.  Then the
  7161 constants being introduced depend on certain fixed parameters, and the
  7162 constant name is qualified by the locale base name.  An internal
  7163 abbreviation takes care for convenient input and output, making the
  7164 parameters implicit and using the original short name.  See also
  7165 src/HOL/ex/Abstract_NAT.thy for an example of deriving polymorphic
  7166 entities from a monomorphic theory.
  7167 
  7168 Presently, abbreviations are only available 'in' a target locale, but
  7169 not inherited by general import expressions.  Also note that
  7170 'abbreviation' may be used as a type-safe replacement for 'syntax' +
  7171 'translations' in common applications.  The "no_abbrevs" print mode
  7172 prevents folding of abbreviations in term output.
  7173 
  7174 Concrete syntax is attached to specified constants in internal form,
  7175 independently of name spaces.  The parse tree representation is
  7176 slightly different -- use 'notation' instead of raw 'syntax', and
  7177 'translations' with explicit "CONST" markup to accommodate this.
  7178 
  7179 * Pure/Isar: unified syntax for new-style specification mechanisms
  7180 (e.g.  'definition', 'abbreviation', or 'inductive' in HOL) admits
  7181 full type inference and dummy patterns ("_").  For example:
  7182 
  7183   definition "K x _ = x"
  7184 
  7185   inductive conj for A B
  7186   where "A ==> B ==> conj A B"
  7187 
  7188 * Pure: command 'print_abbrevs' prints all constant abbreviations of
  7189 the current context.  Print mode "no_abbrevs" prevents inversion of
  7190 abbreviations on output.
  7191 
  7192 * Isar/locales: improved parameter handling: use of locales "var" and
  7193 "struct" no longer necessary; - parameter renamings are no longer
  7194 required to be injective.  For example, this allows to define
  7195 endomorphisms as locale endom = homom mult mult h.
  7196 
  7197 * Isar/locales: changed the way locales with predicates are defined.
  7198 Instead of accumulating the specification, the imported expression is
  7199 now an interpretation.  INCOMPATIBILITY: different normal form of
  7200 locale expressions.  In particular, in interpretations of locales with
  7201 predicates, goals repesenting already interpreted fragments are not
  7202 removed automatically.  Use methods `intro_locales' and
  7203 `unfold_locales'; see below.
  7204 
  7205 * Isar/locales: new methods `intro_locales' and `unfold_locales'
  7206 provide backward reasoning on locales predicates.  The methods are
  7207 aware of interpretations and discharge corresponding goals.
  7208 `intro_locales' is less aggressive then `unfold_locales' and does not
  7209 unfold predicates to assumptions.
  7210 
  7211 * Isar/locales: the order in which locale fragments are accumulated
  7212 has changed.  This enables to override declarations from fragments due
  7213 to interpretations -- for example, unwanted simp rules.
  7214 
  7215 * Isar/locales: interpretation in theories and proof contexts has been
  7216 extended.  One may now specify (and prove) equations, which are
  7217 unfolded in interpreted theorems.  This is useful for replacing
  7218 defined concepts (constants depending on locale parameters) by
  7219 concepts already existing in the target context.  Example:
  7220 
  7221   interpretation partial_order ["op <= :: [int, int] => bool"]
  7222     where "partial_order.less (op <=) (x::int) y = (x < y)"
  7223 
  7224 Typically, the constant `partial_order.less' is created by a
  7225 definition specification element in the context of locale
  7226 partial_order.
  7227 
  7228 * Method "induct": improved internal context management to support
  7229 local fixes and defines on-the-fly. Thus explicit meta-level
  7230 connectives !!  and ==> are rarely required anymore in inductive goals
  7231 (using object-logic connectives for this purpose has been long
  7232 obsolete anyway). Common proof patterns are explained in
  7233 src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, see also
  7234 src/HOL/Isar_examples/Puzzle.thy and src/HOL/Lambda for realistic
  7235 examples.
  7236 
  7237 * Method "induct": improved handling of simultaneous goals. Instead of
  7238 introducing object-level conjunction, the statement is now split into
  7239 several conclusions, while the corresponding symbolic cases are nested
  7240 accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY, proofs need to be structured explicitly,
  7241 see src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, for example.
  7242 
  7243 * Method "induct": mutual induction rules are now specified as a list
  7244 of rule sharing the same induction cases. HOL packages usually provide
  7245 foo_bar.inducts for mutually defined items foo and bar (e.g. inductive
  7246 predicates/sets or datatypes). INCOMPATIBILITY, users need to specify
  7247 mutual induction rules differently, i.e. like this:
  7248 
  7249   (induct rule: foo_bar.inducts)
  7250   (induct set: foo bar)
  7251   (induct pred: foo bar)
  7252   (induct type: foo bar)
  7253 
  7254 The ML function ProjectRule.projections turns old-style rules into the
  7255 new format.
  7256 
  7257 * Method "coinduct": dual of induction, see
  7258 src/HOL/Library/Coinductive_List.thy for various examples.
  7259 
  7260 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": the ``(open)'' option is
  7261 considered a legacy feature.
  7262 
  7263 * Attribute "symmetric" produces result with standardized schematic
  7264 variables (index 0).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7265 
  7266 * Simplifier: by default the simplifier trace only shows top level
  7267 rewrites now. That is, trace_simp_depth_limit is set to 1 by
  7268 default. Thus there is less danger of being flooded by the trace. The
  7269 trace indicates where parts have been suppressed.
  7270 
  7271 * Provers/classical: removed obsolete classical version of elim_format
  7272 attribute; classical elim/dest rules are now treated uniformly when
  7273 manipulating the claset.
  7274 
  7275 * Provers/classical: stricter checks to ensure that supplied intro,
  7276 dest and elim rules are well-formed; dest and elim rules must have at
  7277 least one premise.
  7278 
  7279 * Provers/classical: attributes dest/elim/intro take an optional
  7280 weight argument for the rule (just as the Pure versions).  Weights are
  7281 ignored by automated tools, but determine the search order of single
  7282 rule steps.
  7283 
  7284 * Syntax: input syntax now supports dummy variable binding "%_. b",
  7285 where the body does not mention the bound variable.  Note that dummy
  7286 patterns implicitly depend on their context of bounds, which makes
  7287 "{_. _}" match any set comprehension as expected.  Potential
  7288 INCOMPATIBILITY -- parse translations need to cope with syntactic
  7289 constant "_idtdummy" in the binding position.
  7290 
  7291 * Syntax: removed obsolete syntactic constant "_K" and its associated
  7292 parse translation.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- use dummy abstraction instead,
  7293 for example "A -> B" => "Pi A (%_. B)".
  7294 
  7295 * Pure: 'class_deps' command visualizes the subclass relation, using
  7296 the graph browser tool.
  7297 
  7298 * Pure: 'print_theory' now suppresses certain internal declarations by
  7299 default; use '!' option for full details.
  7300 
  7301 
  7302 *** HOL ***
  7303 
  7304 * Method "metis" proves goals by applying the Metis general-purpose
  7305 resolution prover (see also http://gilith.com/software/metis/).
  7306 Examples are in the directory MetisExamples.  WARNING: the
  7307 Isabelle/HOL-Metis integration does not yet work properly with
  7308 multi-threading.
  7309 
  7310 * Command 'sledgehammer' invokes external automatic theorem provers as
  7311 background processes.  It generates calls to the "metis" method if
  7312 successful. These can be pasted into the proof.  Users do not have to
  7313 wait for the automatic provers to return.  WARNING: does not really
  7314 work with multi-threading.
  7315 
  7316 * New "auto_quickcheck" feature tests outermost goal statements for
  7317 potential counter-examples.  Controlled by ML references
  7318 auto_quickcheck (default true) and auto_quickcheck_time_limit (default
  7319 5000 milliseconds).  Fails silently if statements is outside of
  7320 executable fragment, or any other codgenerator problem occurs.
  7321 
  7322 * New constant "undefined" with axiom "undefined x = undefined".
  7323 
  7324 * Added class "HOL.eq", allowing for code generation with polymorphic
  7325 equality.
  7326 
  7327 * Some renaming of class constants due to canonical name prefixing in
  7328 the new 'class' package:
  7329 
  7330     HOL.abs ~> HOL.abs_class.abs
  7331     HOL.divide ~> HOL.divide_class.divide
  7332     0 ~> HOL.zero_class.zero
  7333     1 ~> HOL.one_class.one
  7334     op + ~> HOL.plus_class.plus
  7335     op - ~> HOL.minus_class.minus
  7336     uminus ~> HOL.minus_class.uminus
  7337     op * ~> HOL.times_class.times
  7338     op < ~> HOL.ord_class.less
  7339     op <= > HOL.ord_class.less_eq
  7340     Nat.power ~> Power.power_class.power
  7341     Nat.size ~> Nat.size_class.size
  7342     Numeral.number_of ~> Numeral.number_class.number_of
  7343     FixedPoint.Inf ~> Lattices.complete_lattice_class.Inf
  7344     FixedPoint.Sup ~> Lattices.complete_lattice_class.Sup
  7345     Orderings.min ~> Orderings.ord_class.min
  7346     Orderings.max ~> Orderings.ord_class.max
  7347     Divides.op div ~> Divides.div_class.div
  7348     Divides.op mod ~> Divides.div_class.mod
  7349     Divides.op dvd ~> Divides.div_class.dvd
  7350 
  7351 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Adaptions may be required in the following cases:
  7352 
  7353 a) User-defined constants using any of the names "plus", "minus",
  7354 "times", "less" or "less_eq". The standard syntax translations for
  7355 "+", "-" and "*" may go wrong.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific
  7356 names.
  7357 
  7358 b) Variables named "plus", "minus", "times", "less", "less_eq"
  7359 INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific names.
  7360 
  7361 c) Permutative equations (e.g. "a + b = b + a")
  7362 Since the change of names also changes the order of terms, permutative
  7363 rewrite rules may get applied in a different order. Experience shows
  7364 that this is rarely the case (only two adaptions in the whole Isabelle
  7365 distribution).  INCOMPATIBILITY: rewrite proofs
  7366 
  7367 d) ML code directly refering to constant names
  7368 This in general only affects hand-written proof tactics, simprocs and
  7369 so on.  INCOMPATIBILITY: grep your sourcecode and replace names.
  7370 Consider using @{const_name} antiquotation.
  7371 
  7372 * New class "default" with associated constant "default".
  7373 
  7374 * Function "sgn" is now overloaded and available on int, real, complex
  7375 (and other numeric types), using class "sgn".  Two possible defs of
  7376 sgn are given as equational assumptions in the classes sgn_if and
  7377 sgn_div_norm; ordered_idom now also inherits from sgn_if.
  7378 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7379 
  7380 * Locale "partial_order" now unified with class "order" (cf. theory
  7381 Orderings), added parameter "less".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7382 
  7383 * Renamings in classes "order" and "linorder": facts "refl", "trans" and
  7384 "cases" to "order_refl", "order_trans" and "linorder_cases", to avoid
  7385 clashes with HOL "refl" and "trans".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7386 
  7387 * Classes "order" and "linorder": potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to
  7388 changed order of proof goals in instance proofs.
  7389 
  7390 * The transitivity reasoner for partial and linear orders is set up
  7391 for classes "order" and "linorder".  Instances of the reasoner are available
  7392 in all contexts importing or interpreting the corresponding locales.
  7393 Method "order" invokes the reasoner separately; the reasoner
  7394 is also integrated with the Simplifier as a solver.  Diagnostic
  7395 command 'print_orders' shows the available instances of the reasoner
  7396 in the current context.
  7397 
  7398 * Localized monotonicity predicate in theory "Orderings"; integrated
  7399 lemmas max_of_mono and min_of_mono with this predicate.
  7400 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7401 
  7402 * Formulation of theorem "dense" changed slightly due to integration
  7403 with new class dense_linear_order.
  7404 
  7405 * Uniform lattice theory development in HOL.
  7406 
  7407     constants "meet" and "join" now named "inf" and "sup"
  7408     constant "Meet" now named "Inf"
  7409 
  7410     classes "meet_semilorder" and "join_semilorder" now named
  7411       "lower_semilattice" and "upper_semilattice"
  7412     class "lorder" now named "lattice"
  7413     class "comp_lat" now named "complete_lattice"
  7414 
  7415     Instantiation of lattice classes allows explicit definitions
  7416     for "inf" and "sup" operations (or "Inf" and "Sup" for complete lattices).
  7417 
  7418   INCOMPATIBILITY.  Theorem renames:

  7520 
  7521 * Added syntactic class "size"; overloaded constant "size" now has
  7522 type "'a::size ==> bool"
  7523 
  7524 * Internal reorganisation of `size' of datatypes: size theorems
  7525 "foo.size" are no longer subsumed by "foo.simps" (but are still
  7526 simplification rules by default!); theorems "prod.size" now named
  7527 "*.size".
  7528 
  7529 * Class "div" now inherits from class "times" rather than "type".
  7530 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7531 
  7532 * HOL/Finite_Set: "name-space" locales Lattice, Distrib_lattice,
  7533 Linorder etc.  have disappeared; operations defined in terms of
  7534 fold_set now are named Inf_fin, Sup_fin.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7535 
  7536 * HOL/Nat: neq0_conv no longer declared as iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7537 
  7538 * HOL-Word: New extensive library and type for generic, fixed size
  7539 machine words, with arithmetic, bit-wise, shifting and rotating
  7540 operations, reflection into int, nat, and bool lists, automation for
  7541 linear arithmetic (by automatic reflection into nat or int), including
  7542 lemmas on overflow and monotonicity.  Instantiated to all appropriate
  7543 arithmetic type classes, supporting automatic simplification of
  7544 numerals on all operations.
  7545 
  7546 * Library/Boolean_Algebra: locales for abstract boolean algebras.
  7547 
  7548 * Library/Numeral_Type: numbers as types, e.g. TYPE(32).
  7549 
  7550 * Code generator library theories:
  7551   - Code_Integer represents HOL integers by big integer literals in target
  7552     languages.
  7553   - Code_Char represents HOL characters by character literals in target
  7554     languages.
  7555   - Code_Char_chr like Code_Char, but also offers treatment of character
  7556     codes; includes Code_Integer.
  7557   - Executable_Set allows to generate code for finite sets using lists.
  7558   - Executable_Rat implements rational numbers as triples (sign, enumerator,
  7559     denominator).
  7560   - Executable_Real implements a subset of real numbers, namly those
  7561     representable by rational numbers.
  7562   - Efficient_Nat implements natural numbers by integers, which in general will
  7563     result in higher efficency; pattern matching with 0/Suc is eliminated;
  7564     includes Code_Integer.
  7565   - Code_Index provides an additional datatype index which is mapped to
  7566     target-language built-in integers.
  7567   - Code_Message provides an additional datatype message_string which is isomorphic to
  7568     strings; messages are mapped to target-language strings.
  7569 
  7570 * New package for inductive predicates
  7571 
  7572   An n-ary predicate p with m parameters z_1, ..., z_m can now be defined via
  7573 
  7574     inductive
  7575       p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7576       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7577     where
  7578       rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  7579     | ...
  7580 
  7581   with full support for type-inference, rather than
  7582 
  7583     consts s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7584 
  7585     abbreviation p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7586     where "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7587 
  7588     inductive "s z_1 ... z_m"
  7589     intros
  7590       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7591       ...
  7592 
  7593   For backward compatibility, there is a wrapper allowing inductive
  7594   sets to be defined with the new package via
  7595 
  7596     inductive_set
  7597       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7598       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7599     where
  7600       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7601     | ...
  7602 
  7603   or
  7604 
  7605     inductive_set
  7606       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7607       and p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7608       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7609     where
  7610       "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7611     | rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  7612     | ...
  7613 
  7614   if the additional syntax "p ..." is required.
  7615 
  7616   Numerous examples can be found in the subdirectories src/HOL/Auth,
  7617   src/HOL/Bali, src/HOL/Induct, and src/HOL/MicroJava.
  7618 
  7619   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  7620 
  7621   - Since declaration and definition of inductive sets or predicates
  7622     is no longer separated, abbreviations involving the newly
  7623     introduced sets or predicates must be specified together with the
  7624     introduction rules after the 'where' keyword (see above), rather
  7625     than before the actual inductive definition.
  7626 
  7627   - The variables in induction and elimination rules are now
  7628     quantified in the order of their occurrence in the introduction
  7629     rules, rather than in alphabetical order. Since this may break
  7630     some proofs, these proofs either have to be repaired, e.g. by
  7631     reordering the variables a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i} in Isar 'case'
  7632     statements of the form
  7633 
  7634       case (rule_i a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i})
  7635 
  7636     or the old order of quantification has to be restored by explicitly adding
  7637     meta-level quantifiers in the introduction rules, i.e.
  7638 
  7639       | rule_i: "!!a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i}. ... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_i_1 ... t_i_n"
  7640 
  7641   - The format of the elimination rules is now
  7642 
  7643       p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n ==>
  7644         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  7645         ==> ... ==> P
  7646 
  7647     for predicates and
  7648 
  7649       (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  7650         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  7651         ==> ... ==> P
  7652 
  7653     for sets rather than
  7654 
  7655       x : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  7656         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x = (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) ==> ... ==> P)
  7657         ==> ... ==> P
  7658 
  7659     This may require terms in goals to be expanded to n-tuples
  7660     (e.g. using case_tac or simplification with the split_paired_all
  7661     rule) before the above elimination rule is applicable.
  7662 
  7663   - The elimination or case analysis rules for (mutually) inductive
  7664     sets or predicates are now called "p_1.cases" ... "p_k.cases". The
  7665     list of rules "p_1_..._p_k.elims" is no longer available.
  7666 
  7667 * New package "function"/"fun" for general recursive functions,
  7668 supporting mutual and nested recursion, definitions in local contexts,
  7669 more general pattern matching and partiality. See HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy
  7670 for small examples, and the separate tutorial on the function
  7671 package. The old recdef "package" is still available as before, but
  7672 users are encouraged to use the new package.
  7673 
  7674 * Method "lexicographic_order" automatically synthesizes termination
  7675 relations as lexicographic combinations of size measures.
  7676 
  7677 * Case-expressions allow arbitrary constructor-patterns (including
  7678 "_") and take their order into account, like in functional
  7679 programming.  Internally, this is translated into nested
  7680 case-expressions; missing cases are added and mapped to the predefined
  7681 constant "undefined". In complicated cases printing may no longer show
  7682 the original input but the internal form. Lambda-abstractions allow
  7683 the same form of pattern matching: "% pat1 => e1 | ..." is an
  7684 abbreviation for "%x. case x of pat1 => e1 | ..." where x is a new
  7685 variable.
  7686 
  7687 * IntDef: The constant "int :: nat => int" has been removed; now "int"
  7688 is an abbreviation for "of_nat :: nat => int". The simplification
  7689 rules for "of_nat" have been changed to work like "int" did
  7690 previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  7691   - "of_nat (Suc m)" simplifies to "1 + of_nat m" instead of "of_nat m + 1"
  7692   - of_nat_diff and of_nat_mult are no longer default simp rules
  7693 
  7694 * Method "algebra" solves polynomial equations over (semi)rings using
  7695 Groebner bases. The (semi)ring structure is defined by locales and the
  7696 tool setup depends on that generic context. Installing the method for
  7697 a specific type involves instantiating the locale and possibly adding
  7698 declarations for computation on the coefficients.  The method is
  7699 already instantiated for natural numbers and for the axiomatic class
  7700 of idoms with numerals.  See also the paper by Chaieb and Wenzel at
  7701 CALCULEMUS 2007 for the general principles underlying this
  7702 architecture of context-aware proof-tools.
  7703 
  7704 * Method "ferrack" implements quantifier elimination over
  7705 special-purpose dense linear orders using locales (analogous to
  7706 "algebra"). The method is already installed for class
  7707 {ordered_field,recpower,number_ring} which subsumes real, hyperreal,
  7708 rat, etc.
  7709 
  7710 * Former constant "List.op @" now named "List.append".  Use ML
  7711 antiquotations @{const_name List.append} or @{term " ... @ ... "} to
  7712 circumvent possible incompatibilities when working on ML level.
  7713 
  7714 * primrec: missing cases mapped to "undefined" instead of "arbitrary".
  7715 
  7716 * New function listsum :: 'a list => 'a for arbitrary monoids.
  7717 Special syntax: "SUM x <- xs. f x" (and latex variants)
  7718 
  7719 * New syntax for Haskell-like list comprehension (input only), eg.
  7720 [(x,y). x <- xs, y <- ys, x ~= y], see also src/HOL/List.thy.
  7721 
  7722 * The special syntax for function "filter" has changed from [x :
  7723 xs. P] to [x <- xs. P] to avoid an ambiguity caused by list
  7724 comprehension syntax, and for uniformity.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7725 
  7726 * [a..b] is now defined for arbitrary linear orders.  It used to be
  7727 defined on nat only, as an abbreviation for [a..<Suc b]
  7728 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7729 
  7730 * Renamed lemma "set_take_whileD"  to "set_takeWhileD".
  7731 
  7732 * New functions "sorted" and "sort" in src/HOL/List.thy.
  7733 
  7734 * New lemma collection field_simps (an extension of ring_simps) for
  7735 manipulating (in)equations involving division. Multiplies with all
  7736 denominators that can be proved to be non-zero (in equations) or
  7737 positive/negative (in inequations).
  7738 
  7739 * Lemma collections ring_eq_simps, group_eq_simps and ring_distrib
  7740 have been improved and renamed to ring_simps, group_simps and
  7741 ring_distribs.  Removed lemmas field_xyz in theory Ring_and_Field
  7742 because they were subsumed by lemmas xyz.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7743 
  7744 * Theory Library/Commutative_Ring: switched from recdef to function
  7745 package; constants add, mul, pow now curried.  Infix syntax for
  7746 algebraic operations.
  7747 
  7748 * Dropped redundant lemma def_imp_eq in favor of meta_eq_to_obj_eq.
  7749 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7750 
  7751 * Dropped redundant lemma if_def2 in favor of if_bool_eq_conj.
  7752 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7753 
  7754 * HOL/records: generalised field-update to take a function on the
  7755 field rather than the new value: r(|A := x|) is translated to A_update
  7756 (K x) r The K-combinator that is internally used is called K_record.
  7757 INCOMPATIBILITY: Usage of the plain update functions has to be
  7758 adapted.
  7759 
  7760 * Class "semiring_0" now contains annihilation axioms x * 0 = 0 and 0
  7761 * x = 0, which are required for a semiring.  Richer structures do not
  7762 inherit from semiring_0 anymore, because this property is a theorem
  7763 there, not an axiom.  INCOMPATIBILITY: In instances of semiring_0,
  7764 there is more to prove, but this is mostly trivial.
  7765 
  7766 * Class "recpower" is generalized to arbitrary monoids, not just
  7767 commutative semirings.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to incorporate
  7768 commutativity or semiring properties additionally.
  7769 
  7770 * Constant "List.list_all2" in List.thy now uses authentic syntax.
  7771 INCOMPATIBILITY: translations containing list_all2 may go wrong,
  7772 better use 'abbreviation'.
  7773 
  7774 * Renamed constant "List.op mem" to "List.member".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7775 
  7776 * Numeral syntax: type 'bin' which was a mere type copy of 'int' has
  7777 been abandoned in favour of plain 'int'.  INCOMPATIBILITY --
  7778 significant changes for setting up numeral syntax for types:
  7779   - New constants Numeral.pred and Numeral.succ instead
  7780       of former Numeral.bin_pred and Numeral.bin_succ.
  7781   - Use integer operations instead of bin_add, bin_mult and so on.
  7782   - Numeral simplification theorems named Numeral.numeral_simps instead of Bin_simps.
  7783   - ML structure Bin_Simprocs now named Int_Numeral_Base_Simprocs.
  7784 
  7785 See src/HOL/Integ/IntArith.thy for an example setup.
  7786 
  7787 * Command 'normal_form' computes the normal form of a term that may
  7788 contain free variables.  For example ``normal_form "rev [a, b, c]"''
  7789 produces ``[b, c, a]'' (without proof).  This command is suitable for
  7790 heavy-duty computations because the functions are compiled to ML
  7791 first.  Correspondingly, a method "normalization" is provided.  See
  7792 further src/HOL/ex/NormalForm.thy and src/Tools/nbe.ML.
  7793 
  7794 * Alternative iff syntax "A <-> B" for equality on bool (with priority
  7795 25 like -->); output depends on the "iff" print_mode, the default is
  7796 "A = B" (with priority 50).
  7797 
  7798 * Relations less (<) and less_eq (<=) are also available on type bool.
  7799 Modified syntax to disallow nesting without explicit parentheses,
  7800 e.g. "(x < y) < z" or "x < (y < z)", but NOT "x < y < z".  Potential
  7801 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7802 
  7803 * "LEAST x:A. P" expands to "LEAST x. x:A & P" (input only).
  7804 
  7805 * Relation composition operator "op O" now has precedence 75 and binds
  7806 stronger than union and intersection. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7807 
  7808 * The old set interval syntax "{m..n(}" (and relatives) has been
  7809 removed.  Use "{m..<n}" (and relatives) instead.
  7810 
  7811 * In the context of the assumption "~(s = t)" the Simplifier rewrites
  7812 "t = s" to False (by simproc "neq").  INCOMPATIBILITY, consider using
  7813 ``declare [[simproc del: neq]]''.
  7814 
  7815 * Simplifier: "m dvd n" where m and n are numbers is evaluated to
  7816 True/False.
  7817 
  7818 * Theorem Cons_eq_map_conv no longer declared as "simp".
  7819 
  7820 * Theorem setsum_mult renamed to setsum_right_distrib.
  7821 
  7822 * Prefer ex1I over ex_ex1I in single-step reasoning, e.g. by the
  7823 ``rule'' method.
  7824 
  7825 * Reimplemented methods "sat" and "satx", with several improvements:
  7826 goals no longer need to be stated as "<prems> ==> False", equivalences
  7827 (i.e. "=" on type bool) are handled, variable names of the form
  7828 "lit_<n>" are no longer reserved, significant speedup.
  7829 
  7830 * Methods "sat" and "satx" can now replay MiniSat proof traces.
  7831 zChaff is still supported as well.
  7832 
  7833 * 'inductive' and 'datatype': provide projections of mutual rules,
  7834 bundled as foo_bar.inducts;
  7835 
  7836 * Library: moved theories Parity, GCD, Binomial, Infinite_Set to
  7837 Library.
  7838 
  7839 * Library: moved theory Accessible_Part to main HOL.
  7840 
  7841 * Library: added theory Coinductive_List of potentially infinite lists
  7842 as greatest fixed-point.
  7843 
  7844 * Library: added theory AssocList which implements (finite) maps as
  7845 association lists.
  7846 
  7847 * Method "evaluation" solves goals (i.e. a boolean expression)
  7848 efficiently by compiling it to ML.  The goal is "proved" (via an
  7849 oracle) if it evaluates to True.
  7850 
  7851 * Linear arithmetic now splits certain operators (e.g. min, max, abs)
  7852 also when invoked by the simplifier.  This results in the Simplifier
  7853 being more powerful on arithmetic goals.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7854 Configuration option fast_arith_split_limit=0 recovers the old
  7855 behavior.
  7856 
  7857 * Support for hex (0x20) and binary (0b1001) numerals.
  7858 
  7859 * New method: reify eqs (t), where eqs are equations for an
  7860 interpretation I :: 'a list => 'b => 'c and t::'c is an optional
  7861 parameter, computes a term s::'b and a list xs::'a list and proves the
  7862 theorem I xs s = t. This is also known as reification or quoting. The
  7863 resulting theorem is applied to the subgoal to substitute t with I xs
  7864 s.  If t is omitted, the subgoal itself is reified.
  7865 
  7866 * New method: reflection corr_thm eqs (t). The parameters eqs and (t)
  7867 are as explained above. corr_thm is a theorem for I vs (f t) = I vs t,
  7868 where f is supposed to be a computable function (in the sense of code
  7869 generattion). The method uses reify to compute s and xs as above then
  7870 applies corr_thm and uses normalization by evaluation to "prove" f s =
  7871 r and finally gets the theorem t = r, which is again applied to the
  7872 subgoal. An Example is available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy.
  7873 
  7874 * Reflection: Automatic reification now handels binding, an example is
  7875 available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy
  7876 
  7877 * HOL-Statespace: ``State Spaces: The Locale Way'' introduces a
  7878 command 'statespace' that is similar to 'record', but introduces an
  7879 abstract specification based on the locale infrastructure instead of
  7880 HOL types.  This leads to extra flexibility in composing state spaces,
  7881 in particular multiple inheritance and renaming of components.
  7882 
  7883 
  7884 *** HOL-Complex ***
  7885 
  7886 * Hyperreal: Functions root and sqrt are now defined on negative real
  7887 inputs so that root n (- x) = - root n x and sqrt (- x) = - sqrt x.
  7888 Nonnegativity side conditions have been removed from many lemmas, so
  7889 that more subgoals may now be solved by simplification; potential
  7890 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7891 
  7892 * Real: new type classes formalize real normed vector spaces and
  7893 algebras, using new overloaded constants scaleR :: real => 'a => 'a
  7894 and norm :: 'a => real.
  7895 
  7896 * Real: constant of_real :: real => 'a::real_algebra_1 injects from
  7897 reals into other types. The overloaded constant Reals :: 'a set is now
  7898 defined as range of_real; potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7899 
  7900 * Real: proper support for ML code generation, including 'quickcheck'.
  7901 Reals are implemented as arbitrary precision rationals.
  7902 
  7903 * Hyperreal: Several constants that previously worked only for the
  7904 reals have been generalized, so they now work over arbitrary vector
  7905 spaces. Type annotations may need to be added in some cases; potential
  7906 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7907

  7922   exp            :: 'a::{recpower,real_normed_field,banach} => 'a
  7923 
  7924 * Complex: Some complex-specific constants are now abbreviations for
  7925 overloaded ones: complex_of_real = of_real, cmod = norm, hcmod =
  7926 hnorm.  Other constants have been entirely removed in favor of the
  7927 polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7928

  7930   HFinite       <-- CFinite
  7931   HInfinite     <-- CInfinite

  7933   monad         <-- cmonad
  7934   galaxy        <-- cgalaxy

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

  8734   right_minus <-- hypreal_add_minus
  8735   left_minus <-- {hypreal,hcomplex}_add_minus_left
  8736   mult_commute <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_mult_commute
  8737   mult_assoc <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_mult_assoc
  8738   mult_1_left <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_mult_1, hcomplex_mult_one_left
  8739   mult_1_right <-- hcomplex_mult_one_right
  8740   mult_zero_left <-- hcomplex_mult_zero_left
  8741   left_distrib <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_mult_distrib
  8742   right_distrib <-- hypnat_add_mult_distrib2
  8743   zero_neq_one <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_zero_not_eq_one
  8744   right_inverse <-- hypreal_mult_inverse
  8745   left_inverse <-- hypreal_mult_inverse_left, hcomplex_mult_inv_left
  8746   order_refl <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_le_refl
  8747   order_trans <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_le_trans
  8748   order_antisym <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_le_anti_sym
  8749   order_less_le <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_less_le
  8750   linorder_linear <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_le_linear
  8751   add_left_mono <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_add_left_mono
  8752   mult_strict_left_mono <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_mult_less_mono2
  8753   add_nonneg_nonneg <-- hypreal_le_add_order
  8754 
  8755 * Hyperreal: Separate theorems having to do with type-specific
  8756 versions of constants have been merged into theorems that apply to the
  8757 new polymorphic constants (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8758 
  8759   STAR_UNIV_set <-- {STAR_real,NatStar_real,STARC_complex}_set
  8760   STAR_empty_set <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_empty_set
  8761   STAR_Un <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_Un
  8762   STAR_Int <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_Int

  8764   STAR_subset <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_subset
  8765   STAR_mem <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_mem

  8767   STAR_diff <-- {STAR,STARC}_diff
  8768   STAR_star_of_image_subset <-- {STAR_hypreal_of_real, NatStar_hypreal_of_real,

  8847 
  8848 * Hyperreal: new method "transfer" that implements the transfer
  8849 principle of nonstandard analysis. With a subgoal that mentions
  8850 nonstandard types like "'a star", the command "apply transfer"
  8851 replaces it with an equivalent one that mentions only standard types.
  8852 To be successful, all free variables must have standard types; non-
  8853 standard variables must have explicit universal quantifiers.
  8854 
  8855 * Hyperreal: A theory of Taylor series.
  8856 
  8857 
  8858 *** HOLCF ***
  8859 
  8860 * Discontinued special version of 'constdefs' (which used to support
  8861 continuous functions) in favor of the general Pure one with full
  8862 type-inference.
  8863 
  8864 * New simplification procedure for solving continuity conditions; it
  8865 is much faster on terms with many nested lambda abstractions (cubic
  8866 instead of exponential time).
  8867 
  8868 * New syntax for domain package: selector names are now optional.
  8869 Parentheses should be omitted unless argument is lazy, for example:
  8870 
  8871   domain 'a stream = cons "'a" (lazy "'a stream")
  8872 
  8873 * New command 'fixrec' for defining recursive functions with pattern
  8874 matching; defining multiple functions with mutual recursion is also
  8875 supported.  Patterns may include the constants cpair, spair, up, sinl,
  8876 sinr, or any data constructor defined by the domain package. The given
  8877 equations are proven as rewrite rules. See HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  8878 syntax and examples.
  8879 
  8880 * New commands 'cpodef' and 'pcpodef' for defining predicate subtypes
  8881 of cpo and pcpo types. Syntax is exactly like the 'typedef' command,
  8882 but the proof obligation additionally includes an admissibility
  8883 requirement. The packages generate instances of class cpo or pcpo,
  8884 with continuity and strictness theorems for Rep and Abs.
  8885 
  8886 * HOLCF: Many theorems have been renamed according to a more standard naming
  8887 scheme (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8888 
  8889   foo_inject:  "foo$x = foo$y ==> x = y"
  8890   foo_eq:      "(foo$x = foo$y) = (x = y)"
  8891   foo_less:    "(foo$x << foo$y) = (x << y)"
  8892   foo_strict:  "foo$UU = UU"
  8893   foo_defined: "... ==> foo$x ~= UU"
  8894   foo_defined_iff: "(foo$x = UU) = (x = UU)"
  8895 
  8896 
  8897 *** ZF ***
  8898 
  8899 * ZF/ex: theories Group and Ring provide examples in abstract algebra,
  8900 including the First Isomorphism Theorem (on quotienting by the kernel
  8901 of a homomorphism).
  8902 
  8903 * ZF/Simplifier: install second copy of type solver that actually
  8904 makes use of TC rules declared to Isar proof contexts (or locales);
  8905 the old version is still required for ML proof scripts.
  8906 
  8907 
  8908 *** Cube ***
  8909 
  8910 * Converted to Isar theory format; use locales instead of axiomatic
  8911 theories.
  8912 
  8913 
  8914 *** ML ***
  8915 
  8916 * Pure/library.ML: added ##>, ##>>, #>> -- higher-order counterparts
  8917 for ||>, ||>>, |>>,
  8918 
  8919 * Pure/library.ML no longer defines its own option datatype, but uses
  8920 that of the SML basis, which has constructors NONE and SOME instead of
  8921 None and Some, as well as exception Option.Option instead of OPTION.
  8922 The functions the, if_none, is_some, is_none have been adapted
  8923 accordingly, while Option.map replaces apsome.
  8924 
  8925 * Pure/library.ML: the exception LIST has been given up in favour of
  8926 the standard exceptions Empty and Subscript, as well as
  8927 Library.UnequalLengths.  Function like Library.hd and Library.tl are
  8928 superceded by the standard hd and tl functions etc.
  8929 
  8930 A number of basic list functions are no longer exported to the ML
  8931 toplevel, as they are variants of predefined functions.  The following
  8932 suggests how one can translate existing code:
  8933 
  8934     rev_append xs ys = List.revAppend (xs, ys)
  8935     nth_elem (i, xs) = List.nth (xs, i)
  8936     last_elem xs = List.last xs
  8937     flat xss = List.concat xss
  8938     seq fs = List.app fs
  8939     partition P xs = List.partition P xs
  8940     mapfilter f xs = List.mapPartial f xs
  8941 
  8942 * Pure/library.ML: several combinators for linear functional
  8943 transformations, notably reverse application and composition:
  8944 
  8945   x |> f                f #> g
  8946   (x, y) |-> f          f #-> g
  8947 
  8948 * Pure/library.ML: introduced/changed precedence of infix operators:
  8949 
  8950   infix 1 |> |-> ||> ||>> |>> |>>> #> #->;
  8951   infix 2 ?;
  8952   infix 3 o oo ooo oooo;
  8953   infix 4 ~~ upto downto;
  8954 
  8955 Maybe INCOMPATIBILITY when any of those is used in conjunction with other
  8956 infix operators.
  8957 
  8958 * Pure/library.ML: natural list combinators fold, fold_rev, and
  8959 fold_map support linear functional transformations and nesting.  For
  8960 example:
  8961 
  8962   fold f [x1, ..., xN] y =
  8963     y |> f x1 |> ... |> f xN
  8964 
  8965   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] y =
  8966     y |> fold f xs1 |> ... |> fold f xsN
  8967 
  8968   fold f [x1, ..., xN] =
  8969     f x1 #> ... #> f xN
  8970 
  8971   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] =
  8972     fold f xs1 #> ... #> fold f xsN
  8973 
  8974 * Pure/library.ML: the following selectors on type 'a option are
  8975 available:
  8976 
  8977   the:               'a option -> 'a  (*partial*)
  8978   these:             'a option -> 'a  where 'a = 'b list
  8979   the_default: 'a -> 'a option -> 'a
  8980   the_list:          'a option -> 'a list
  8981 
  8982 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  8983 basic operations for association lists, following natural argument
  8984 order; moreover the explicit equality predicate passed here avoids
  8985 potentially expensive polymorphic runtime equality checks.
  8986 The old functions may be expressed as follows:
  8987 
  8988   assoc = uncurry (AList.lookup (op =))
  8989   assocs = these oo AList.lookup (op =)
  8990   overwrite = uncurry (AList.update (op =)) o swap
  8991 
  8992 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  8993 
  8994   val make: ('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> ('a * 'b) list
  8995   val find: ('a * 'b -> bool) -> ('c * 'b) list -> 'a -> 'c list
  8996 
  8997 replacing make_keylist and keyfilter (occassionally used)
  8998 Naive rewrites:
  8999 
  9000   make_keylist = AList.make
  9001   keyfilter = AList.find (op =)
  9002 
  9003 * eq_fst and eq_snd now take explicit equality parameter, thus
  9004   avoiding eqtypes. Naive rewrites:
  9005 
  9006     eq_fst = eq_fst (op =)
  9007     eq_snd = eq_snd (op =)
  9008 
  9009 * Removed deprecated apl and apr (rarely used).
  9010   Naive rewrites:
  9011 
  9012     apl (n, op) =>>= curry op n
  9013     apr (op, m) =>>= fn n => op (n, m)
  9014 
  9015 * Pure/General: structure OrdList (cf. Pure/General/ord_list.ML)
  9016 provides a reasonably efficient light-weight implementation of sets as
  9017 lists.
  9018 
  9019 * Pure/General: generic tables (cf. Pure/General/table.ML) provide a
  9020 few new operations; existing lookup and update are now curried to
  9021 follow natural argument order (for use with fold etc.);
  9022 INCOMPATIBILITY, use (uncurry Symtab.lookup) etc. as last resort.
  9023 
  9024 * Pure/General: output via the Isabelle channels of
  9025 writeln/warning/error etc. is now passed through Output.output, with a
  9026 hook for arbitrary transformations depending on the print_mode
  9027 (cf. Output.add_mode -- the first active mode that provides a output
  9028 function wins).  Already formatted output may be embedded into further
  9029 text via Output.raw; the result of Pretty.string_of/str_of and derived
  9030 functions (string_of_term/cterm/thm etc.) is already marked raw to
  9031 accommodate easy composition of diagnostic messages etc.  Programmers
  9032 rarely need to care about Output.output or Output.raw at all, with
  9033 some notable exceptions: Output.output is required when bypassing the
  9034 standard channels (writeln etc.), or in token translations to produce
  9035 properly formatted results; Output.raw is required when capturing
  9036 already output material that will eventually be presented to the user
  9037 a second time.  For the default print mode, both Output.output and
  9038 Output.raw have no effect.
  9039 
  9040 * Pure/General: Output.time_accumulator NAME creates an operator ('a
  9041 -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'b to measure runtime and count invocations; the
  9042 cumulative results are displayed at the end of a batch session.
  9043 
  9044 * Pure/General: File.sysify_path and File.quote_sysify path have been
  9045 replaced by File.platform_path and File.shell_path (with appropriate
  9046 hooks).  This provides a clean interface for unusual systems where the
  9047 internal and external process view of file names are different.
  9048 
  9049 * Pure: more efficient orders for basic syntactic entities: added
  9050 fast_string_ord, fast_indexname_ord, fast_term_ord; changed sort_ord
  9051 and typ_ord to use fast_string_ord and fast_indexname_ord (term_ord is
  9052 NOT affected); structures Symtab, Vartab, Typtab, Termtab use the fast
  9053 orders now -- potential INCOMPATIBILITY for code that depends on a
  9054 particular order for Symtab.keys, Symtab.dest, etc. (consider using
  9055 Library.sort_strings on result).
  9056 
  9057 * Pure/term.ML: combinators fold_atyps, fold_aterms, fold_term_types,
  9058 fold_types traverse types/terms from left to right, observing natural
  9059 argument order.  Supercedes previous foldl_XXX versions, add_frees,
  9060 add_vars etc. have been adapted as well: INCOMPATIBILITY.
  9061 
  9062 * Pure: name spaces have been refined, with significant changes of the
  9063 internal interfaces -- INCOMPATIBILITY.  Renamed cond_extern(_table)
  9064 to extern(_table).  The plain name entry path is superceded by a
  9065 general 'naming' context, which also includes the 'policy' to produce
  9066 a fully qualified name and external accesses of a fully qualified
  9067 name; NameSpace.extend is superceded by context dependent
  9068 Sign.declare_name.  Several theory and proof context operations modify
  9069 the naming context.  Especially note Theory.restore_naming and
  9070 ProofContext.restore_naming to get back to a sane state; note that
  9071 Theory.add_path is no longer sufficient to recover from
  9072 Theory.absolute_path in particular.
  9073 
  9074 * Pure: new flags short_names (default false) and unique_names
  9075 (default true) for controlling output of qualified names.  If
  9076 short_names is set, names are printed unqualified.  If unique_names is
  9077 reset, the name prefix is reduced to the minimum required to achieve
  9078 the original result when interning again, even if there is an overlap
  9079 with earlier declarations.
  9080 
  9081 * Pure/TheoryDataFun: change of the argument structure; 'prep_ext' is
  9082 now 'extend', and 'merge' gets an additional Pretty.pp argument
  9083 (useful for printing error messages).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  9084 
  9085 * Pure: major reorganization of the theory context.  Type Sign.sg and
  9086 Theory.theory are now identified, referring to the universal
  9087 Context.theory (see Pure/context.ML).  Actual signature and theory
  9088 content is managed as theory data.  The old code and interfaces were
  9089 spread over many files and structures; the new arrangement introduces
  9090 considerable INCOMPATIBILITY to gain more clarity:
  9091 
  9092   Context -- theory management operations (name, identity, inclusion,
  9093     parents, ancestors, merge, etc.), plus generic theory data;
  9094 
  9095   Sign -- logical signature and syntax operations (declaring consts,
  9096     types, etc.), plus certify/read for common entities;
  9097 
  9098   Theory -- logical theory operations (stating axioms, definitions,
  9099     oracles), plus a copy of logical signature operations (consts,
  9100     types, etc.); also a few basic management operations (Theory.copy,
  9101     Theory.merge, etc.)
  9102 
  9103 The most basic sign_of operations (Theory.sign_of, Thm.sign_of_thm
  9104 etc.) as well as the sign field in Thm.rep_thm etc. have been retained
  9105 for convenience -- they merely return the theory.
  9106 
  9107 * Pure: type Type.tsig is superceded by theory in most interfaces.
  9108 
  9109 * Pure: the Isar proof context type is already defined early in Pure
  9110 as Context.proof (note that ProofContext.context and Proof.context are
  9111 aliases, where the latter is the preferred name).  This enables other
  9112 Isabelle components to refer to that type even before Isar is present.
  9113 
  9114 * Pure/sign/theory: discontinued named name spaces (i.e. classK,
  9115 typeK, constK, axiomK, oracleK), but provide explicit operations for
  9116 any of these kinds.  For example, Sign.intern typeK is now
  9117 Sign.intern_type, Theory.hide_space Sign.typeK is now
  9118 Theory.hide_types.  Also note that former
  9119 Theory.hide_classes/types/consts are now
  9120 Theory.hide_classes_i/types_i/consts_i, while the non '_i' versions
  9121 internalize their arguments!  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  9122 
  9123 * Pure: get_thm interface (of PureThy and ProofContext) expects
  9124 datatype thmref (with constructors Name and NameSelection) instead of
  9125 plain string -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9126 
  9127 * Pure: cases produced by proof methods specify options, where NONE
  9128 means to remove case bindings -- INCOMPATIBILITY in
  9129 (RAW_)METHOD_CASES.
  9130 
  9131 * Pure: the following operations retrieve axioms or theorems from a
  9132 theory node or theory hierarchy, respectively:
  9133 
  9134   Theory.axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  9135   Theory.all_axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  9136   PureThy.thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  9137   PureThy.all_thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  9138 
  9139 * Pure: print_tac now outputs the goal through the trace channel.
  9140 
  9141 * Isar toplevel: improved diagnostics, mostly for Poly/ML only.
  9142 Reference Toplevel.debug (default false) controls detailed printing
  9143 and tracing of low-level exceptions; Toplevel.profiling (default 0)
  9144 controls execution profiling -- set to 1 for time and 2 for space
  9145 (both increase the runtime).
  9146 
  9147 * Isar session: The initial use of ROOT.ML is now always timed,
  9148 i.e. the log will show the actual process times, in contrast to the
  9149 elapsed wall-clock time that the outer shell wrapper produces.
  9150 
  9151 * Simplifier: improved handling of bound variables (nameless
  9152 representation, avoid allocating new strings).  Simprocs that invoke
  9153 the Simplifier recursively should use Simplifier.inherit_bounds to
  9154 avoid local name clashes.  Failure to do so produces warnings
  9155 "Simplifier: renamed bound variable ..."; set Simplifier.debug_bounds
  9156 for further details.
  9157 
  9158 * ML functions legacy_bindings and use_legacy_bindings produce ML fact
  9159 bindings for all theorems stored within a given theory; this may help
  9160 in porting non-Isar theories to Isar ones, while keeping ML proof
  9161 scripts for the time being.
  9162 
  9163 * ML operator HTML.with_charset specifies the charset begin used for
  9164 generated HTML files.  For example:
  9165 
  9166   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Hebrew";
  9167   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Chinese";
  9168 
  9169 
  9170 *** System ***
  9171 
  9172 * Allow symlinks to all proper Isabelle executables (Isabelle,
  9173 isabelle, isatool etc.).
  9174 
  9175 * ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT setting specifies preferred document format (for
  9176 isatool doc, isatool mkdir, display_drafts etc.).
  9177 
  9178 * isatool usedir: option -f allows specification of the ML file to be
  9179 used by Isabelle; default is ROOT.ML.
  9180 
  9181 * New isatool version outputs the version identifier of the Isabelle
  9182 distribution being used.
  9183 
  9184 * HOL: new isatool dimacs2hol converts files in DIMACS CNF format
  9185 (containing Boolean satisfiability problems) into Isabelle/HOL
  9186 theories.
  9187 
  9188 
  9189 
  9190 New in Isabelle2004 (April 2004)
  9191 --------------------------------
  9192 
  9193 *** General ***
  9194 
  9195 * Provers/order.ML:  new efficient reasoner for partial and linear orders.
  9196   Replaces linorder.ML.
  9197 
  9198 * Pure: Greek letters (except small lambda, \<lambda>), as well as Gothic
  9199   (\<aa>...\<zz>\<AA>...\<ZZ>), calligraphic (\<A>...\<Z>), and Euler
  9200   (\<a>...\<z>), are now considered normal letters, and can therefore
  9201   be used anywhere where an ASCII letter (a...zA...Z) has until
  9202   now. COMPATIBILITY: This obviously changes the parsing of some
  9203   terms, especially where a symbol has been used as a binder, say
  9204   '\<Pi>x. ...', which is now a type error since \<Pi>x will be parsed
  9205   as an identifier.  Fix it by inserting a space around former
  9206   symbols.  Call 'isatool fixgreek' to try to fix parsing errors in
  9207   existing theory and ML files.
  9208 
  9209 * Pure: Macintosh and Windows line-breaks are now allowed in theory files.
  9210 
  9211 * Pure: single letter sub/superscripts (\<^isub> and \<^isup>) are now
  9212   allowed in identifiers. Similar to Greek letters \<^isub> is now considered
  9213   a normal (but invisible) letter. For multiple letter subscripts repeat
  9214   \<^isub> like this: x\<^isub>1\<^isub>2.
  9215 
  9216 * Pure: There are now sub-/superscripts that can span more than one
  9217   character. Text between \<^bsub> and \<^esub> is set in subscript in
  9218   ProofGeneral and LaTeX, text between \<^bsup> and \<^esup> in
  9219   superscript. The new control characters are not identifier parts.
  9220 
  9221 * Pure: Control-symbols of the form \<^raw:...> will literally print the
  9222   content of "..." to the latex file instead of \isacntrl... . The "..."
  9223   may consist of any printable characters excluding the end bracket >.
  9224 
  9225 * Pure: Using new Isar command "finalconsts" (or the ML functions
  9226   Theory.add_finals or Theory.add_finals_i) it is now possible to
  9227   declare constants "final", which prevents their being given a definition
  9228   later.  It is useful for constants whose behaviour is fixed axiomatically
  9229   rather than definitionally, such as the meta-logic connectives.
  9230 
  9231 * Pure: 'instance' now handles general arities with general sorts
  9232   (i.e. intersections of classes),
  9233 
  9234 * Presentation: generated HTML now uses a CSS style sheet to make layout
  9235   (somewhat) independent of content. It is copied from lib/html/isabelle.css.
  9236   It can be changed to alter the colors/layout of generated pages.
  9237 
  9238 
  9239 *** Isar ***
  9240 
  9241 * Tactic emulation methods rule_tac, erule_tac, drule_tac, frule_tac,
  9242   cut_tac, subgoal_tac and thin_tac:
  9243   - Now understand static (Isar) contexts.  As a consequence, users of Isar
  9244     locales are no longer forced to write Isar proof scripts.
  9245     For details see Isar Reference Manual, paragraph 4.3.2: Further tactic
  9246     emulations.
  9247   - INCOMPATIBILITY: names of variables to be instantiated may no
  9248     longer be enclosed in quotes.  Instead, precede variable name with `?'.
  9249     This is consistent with the instantiation attribute "where".
  9250 
  9251 * Attributes "where" and "of":
  9252   - Now take type variables of instantiated theorem into account when reading
  9253     the instantiation string.  This fixes a bug that caused instantiated
  9254     theorems to have too special types in some circumstances.
  9255   - "where" permits explicit instantiations of type variables.
  9256 
  9257 * Calculation commands "moreover" and "also" no longer interfere with
  9258   current facts ("this"), admitting arbitrary combinations with "then"
  9259   and derived forms.
  9260 
  9261 * Locales:
  9262   - Goal statements involving the context element "includes" no longer
  9263     generate theorems with internal delta predicates (those ending on
  9264     "_axioms") in the premise.
  9265     Resolve particular premise with <locale>.intro to obtain old form.
  9266   - Fixed bug in type inference ("unify_frozen") that prevented mix of target
  9267     specification and "includes" elements in goal statement.
  9268   - Rule sets <locale>.intro and <locale>.axioms no longer declared as
  9269     [intro?] and [elim?] (respectively) by default.
  9270   - Experimental command for instantiation of locales in proof contexts:
  9271         instantiate <label>[<attrs>]: <loc>
  9272     Instantiates locale <loc> and adds all its theorems to the current context
  9273     taking into account their attributes.  Label and attrs are optional
  9274     modifiers, like in theorem declarations.  If present, names of
  9275     instantiated theorems are qualified with <label>, and the attributes
  9276     <attrs> are applied after any attributes these theorems might have already.
  9277       If the locale has assumptions, a chained fact of the form
  9278     "<loc> t1 ... tn" is expected from which instantiations of the parameters
  9279     are derived.  The command does not support old-style locales declared
  9280     with "locale (open)".
  9281       A few (very simple) examples can be found in FOL/ex/LocaleInst.thy.
  9282 
  9283 * HOL: Tactic emulation methods induct_tac and case_tac understand static
  9284   (Isar) contexts.
  9285 
  9286 
  9287 *** HOL ***
  9288 
  9289 * Proof import: new image HOL4 contains the imported library from
  9290   the HOL4 system with about 2500 theorems. It is imported by
  9291   replaying proof terms produced by HOL4 in Isabelle. The HOL4 image
  9292   can be used like any other Isabelle image.  See
  9293   HOL/Import/HOL/README for more information.
  9294 
  9295 * Simplifier:
  9296   - Much improved handling of linear and partial orders.
  9297     Reasoners for linear and partial orders are set up for type classes
  9298     "linorder" and "order" respectively, and are added to the default simpset
  9299     as solvers.  This means that the simplifier can build transitivity chains
  9300     to solve goals from the assumptions.
  9301   - INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break occasionally.  Typically, applications
  9302     of blast or auto after simplification become unnecessary because the goal
  9303     is solved by simplification already.
  9304 
  9305 * Numerics: new theory Ring_and_Field contains over 250 basic numerical laws,
  9306     all proved in axiomatic type classes for semirings, rings and fields.
  9307 
  9308 * Numerics:
  9309   - Numeric types (nat, int, and in HOL-Complex rat, real, complex, etc.) are
  9310     now formalized using the Ring_and_Field theory mentioned above.
  9311   - INCOMPATIBILITY: simplification and arithmetic behaves somewhat differently
  9312     than before, because now they are set up once in a generic manner.
  9313   - INCOMPATIBILITY: many type-specific arithmetic laws have gone.
  9314     Look for the general versions in Ring_and_Field (and Power if they concern
  9315     exponentiation).
  9316 
  9317 * Type "rat" of the rational numbers is now available in HOL-Complex.
  9318 
  9319 * Records:
  9320   - Record types are now by default printed with their type abbreviation
  9321     instead of the list of all field types. This can be configured via
  9322     the reference "print_record_type_abbr".
  9323   - Simproc "record_upd_simproc" for simplification of multiple updates added
  9324     (not enabled by default).
  9325   - Simproc "record_ex_sel_eq_simproc" to simplify EX x. sel r = x resp.
  9326     EX x. x = sel r to True (not enabled by default).
  9327   - Tactic "record_split_simp_tac" to split and simplify records added.
  9328 
  9329 * 'specification' command added, allowing for definition by
  9330   specification.  There is also an 'ax_specification' command that
  9331   introduces the new constants axiomatically.
  9332 
  9333 * arith(_tac) is now able to generate counterexamples for reals as well.
  9334 
  9335 * HOL-Algebra: new locale "ring" for non-commutative rings.
  9336 
  9337 * HOL-ex: InductiveInvariant_examples illustrates advanced recursive function
  9338   definitions, thanks to Sava Krsti\'{c} and John Matthews.
  9339 
  9340 * HOL-Matrix: a first theory for matrices in HOL with an application of
  9341   matrix theory to linear programming.
  9342 
  9343 * Unions and Intersections:
  9344   The latex output syntax of UN and INT has been changed
  9345   from "\Union x \in A. B" to "\Union_{x \in A} B"
  9346   i.e. the index formulae has become a subscript.
  9347   Similarly for "\Union x. B", and for \Inter instead of \Union.
  9348 
  9349 * Unions and Intersections over Intervals:
  9350   There is new short syntax "UN i<=n. A" for "UN i:{0..n}. A". There is
  9351   also an x-symbol version with subscripts "\<Union>\<^bsub>i <= n\<^esub>. A"
  9352   like in normal math, and corresponding versions for < and for intersection.
  9353 
  9354 * HOL/List: Ordering "lexico" is renamed "lenlex" and the standard
  9355   lexicographic dictonary ordering has been added as "lexord".
  9356 
  9357 * ML: the legacy theory structures Int and List have been removed. They had
  9358   conflicted with ML Basis Library structures having the same names.
  9359 
  9360 * 'refute' command added to search for (finite) countermodels.  Only works
  9361   for a fragment of HOL.  The installation of an external SAT solver is
  9362   highly recommended.  See "HOL/Refute.thy" for details.
  9363 
  9364 * 'quickcheck' command: Allows to find counterexamples by evaluating
  9365   formulae under an assignment of free variables to random values.
  9366   In contrast to 'refute', it can deal with inductive datatypes,
  9367   but cannot handle quantifiers. See "HOL/ex/Quickcheck_Examples.thy"
  9368   for examples.
  9369 
  9370 
  9371 *** HOLCF ***
  9372 
  9373 * Streams now come with concatenation and are part of the HOLCF image
  9374 
  9375 
  9376 
  9377 New in Isabelle2003 (May 2003)
  9378 ------------------------------
  9379 
  9380 *** General ***
  9381 
  9382 * Provers/simplifier:
  9383 
  9384   - Completely reimplemented method simp (ML: Asm_full_simp_tac):
  9385     Assumptions are now subject to complete mutual simplification,
  9386     not just from left to right. The simplifier now preserves
  9387     the order of assumptions.
  9388 
  9389     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  9390 
  9391     -- simp sometimes diverges where the old version did
  9392        not, e.g. invoking simp on the goal
  9393 
  9394         [| P (f x); y = x; f x = f y |] ==> Q
  9395 
  9396        now gives rise to the infinite reduction sequence
  9397 
  9398         P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> P(f y) --(y = x)--> P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> ...
  9399 
  9400        Using "simp (asm_lr)" (ML: Asm_lr_simp_tac) instead often solves this
  9401        kind of problem.
  9402 
  9403     -- Tactics combining classical reasoner and simplification (such as auto)
  9404        are also affected by this change, because many of them rely on
  9405        simp. They may sometimes diverge as well or yield a different numbers
  9406        of subgoals. Try to use e.g. force, fastsimp, or safe instead of auto
  9407        in case of problems. Sometimes subsequent calls to the classical
  9408        reasoner will fail because a preceeding call to the simplifier too
  9409        eagerly simplified the goal, e.g. deleted redundant premises.
  9410 
  9411   - The simplifier trace now shows the names of the applied rewrite rules
  9412 
  9413   - You can limit the number of recursive invocations of the simplifier
  9414     during conditional rewriting (where the simplifie tries to solve the
  9415     conditions before applying the rewrite rule):
  9416     ML "simp_depth_limit := n"
  9417     where n is an integer. Thus you can force termination where previously
  9418     the simplifier would diverge.
  9419 
  9420   - Accepts free variables as head terms in congruence rules.  Useful in Isar.
  9421 
  9422   - No longer aborts on failed congruence proof.  Instead, the
  9423     congruence is ignored.
  9424 
  9425 * Pure: New generic framework for extracting programs from constructive
  9426   proofs. See HOL/Extraction.thy for an example instantiation, as well
  9427   as HOL/Extraction for some case studies.
  9428 
  9429 * Pure: The main goal of the proof state is no longer shown by default, only
  9430 the subgoals. This behaviour is controlled by a new flag.
  9431    PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Settings -> Show Main Goal
  9432 (ML: Proof.show_main_goal).
  9433 
  9434 * Pure: You can find all matching introduction rules for subgoal 1, i.e. all
  9435 rules whose conclusion matches subgoal 1:
  9436       PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Show me -> matching rules
  9437 The rules are ordered by how closely they match the subgoal.
  9438 In particular, rules that solve a subgoal outright are displayed first
  9439 (or rather last, the way they are printed).
  9440 (ML: ProofGeneral.print_intros())
  9441 
  9442 * Pure: New flag trace_unify_fail causes unification to print
  9443 diagnostic information (PG: in trace buffer) when it fails. This is
  9444 useful for figuring out why single step proofs like rule, erule or
  9445 assumption failed.
  9446 
  9447 * Pure: Locale specifications now produce predicate definitions
  9448 according to the body of text (covering assumptions modulo local
  9449 definitions); predicate "loc_axioms" covers newly introduced text,
  9450 while "loc" is cumulative wrt. all included locale expressions; the
  9451 latter view is presented only on export into the global theory
  9452 context; potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use "(open)" option to fall back
  9453 on the old view without predicates;
  9454 
  9455 * Pure: predefined locales "var" and "struct" are useful for sharing
  9456 parameters (as in CASL, for example); just specify something like
  9457 ``var x + var y + struct M'' as import;
  9458 
  9459 * Pure: improved thms_containing: proper indexing of facts instead of
  9460 raw theorems; check validity of results wrt. current name space;
  9461 include local facts of proof configuration (also covers active
  9462 locales), cover fixed variables in index; may use "_" in term
  9463 specification; an optional limit for the number of printed facts may
  9464 be given (the default is 40);
  9465 
  9466 * Pure: disallow duplicate fact bindings within new-style theory files
  9467 (batch-mode only);
  9468 
  9469 * Provers: improved induct method: assumptions introduced by case
  9470 "foo" are split into "foo.hyps" (from the rule) and "foo.prems" (from
  9471 the goal statement); "foo" still refers to all facts collectively;
  9472 
  9473 * Provers: the function blast.overloaded has been removed: all constants
  9474 are regarded as potentially overloaded, which improves robustness in exchange
  9475 for slight decrease in efficiency;
  9476 
  9477 * Provers/linorder: New generic prover for transitivity reasoning over
  9478 linear orders.  Note: this prover is not efficient!
  9479 
  9480 * Isar: preview of problems to finish 'show' now produce an error
  9481 rather than just a warning (in interactive mode);
  9482 
  9483 
  9484 *** HOL ***
  9485 
  9486 * arith(_tac)
  9487 
  9488  - Produces a counter example if it cannot prove a goal.
  9489    Note that the counter example may be spurious if the goal is not a formula
  9490    of quantifier-free linear arithmetic.
  9491    In ProofGeneral the counter example appears in the trace buffer.
  9492 
  9493  - Knows about div k and mod k where k is a numeral of type nat or int.
  9494 
  9495  - Calls full Presburger arithmetic (by Amine Chaieb) if quantifier-free
  9496    linear arithmetic fails. This takes account of quantifiers and divisibility.
  9497    Presburger arithmetic can also be called explicitly via presburger(_tac).
  9498 
  9499 * simp's arithmetic capabilities have been enhanced a bit: it now
  9500 takes ~= in premises into account (by performing a case split);
  9501 
  9502 * simp reduces "m*(n div m) + n mod m" to n, even if the two summands
  9503 are distributed over a sum of terms;
  9504 
  9505 * New tactic "trans_tac" and method "trans" instantiate
  9506 Provers/linorder.ML for axclasses "order" and "linorder" (predicates
  9507 "<=", "<" and "=").
  9508 
  9509 * function INCOMPATIBILITIES: Pi-sets have been redefined and moved from main
  9510 HOL to Library/FuncSet; constant "Fun.op o" is now called "Fun.comp";
  9511 
  9512 * 'typedef' command has new option "open" to suppress the set
  9513 definition;
  9514 
  9515 * functions Min and Max on finite sets have been introduced (theory
  9516 Finite_Set);
  9517 
  9518 * attribute [symmetric] now works for relations as well; it turns
  9519 (x,y) : R^-1 into (y,x) : R, and vice versa;
  9520 
  9521 * induct over a !!-quantified statement (say !!x1..xn):
  9522   each "case" automatically performs "fix x1 .. xn" with exactly those names.
  9523 
  9524 * Map: `empty' is no longer a constant but a syntactic abbreviation for
  9525 %x. None. Warning: empty_def now refers to the previously hidden definition
  9526 of the empty set.
  9527 
  9528 * Algebra: formalization of classical algebra.  Intended as base for
  9529 any algebraic development in Isabelle.  Currently covers group theory
  9530 (up to Sylow's theorem) and ring theory (Universal Property of
  9531 Univariate Polynomials).  Contributions welcome;
  9532 
  9533 * GroupTheory: deleted, since its material has been moved to Algebra;
  9534 
  9535 * Complex: new directory of the complex numbers with numeric constants,
  9536 nonstandard complex numbers, and some complex analysis, standard and
  9537 nonstandard (Jacques Fleuriot);
  9538 
  9539 * HOL-Complex: new image for analysis, replacing HOL-Real and HOL-Hyperreal;
  9540 
  9541 * Hyperreal: introduced Gauge integration and hyperreal logarithms (Jacques
  9542 Fleuriot);
  9543 
  9544 * Real/HahnBanach: updated and adapted to locales;
  9545 
  9546 * NumberTheory: added Gauss's law of quadratic reciprocity (by Avigad,
  9547 Gray and Kramer);
  9548 
  9549 * UNITY: added the Meier-Sanders theory of progress sets;
  9550 
  9551 * MicroJava: bytecode verifier and lightweight bytecode verifier
  9552 as abstract algorithms, instantiated to the JVM;
  9553 
  9554 * Bali: Java source language formalization. Type system, operational
  9555 semantics, axiomatic semantics. Supported language features:
  9556 classes, interfaces, objects,virtual methods, static methods,
  9557 static/instance fields, arrays, access modifiers, definite
  9558 assignment, exceptions.
  9559 
  9560 
  9561 *** ZF ***
  9562 
  9563 * ZF/Constructible: consistency proof for AC (Gdel's constructible
  9564 universe, etc.);
  9565 
  9566 * Main ZF: virtually all theories converted to new-style format;
  9567 
  9568 
  9569 *** ML ***
  9570 
  9571 * Pure: Tactic.prove provides sane interface for internal proofs;
  9572 omits the infamous "standard" operation, so this is more appropriate
  9573 than prove_goalw_cterm in many situations (e.g. in simprocs);
  9574 
  9575 * Pure: improved error reporting of simprocs;
  9576 
  9577 * Provers: Simplifier.simproc(_i) provides sane interface for setting
  9578 up simprocs;
  9579 
  9580 
  9581 *** Document preparation ***
  9582 
  9583 * uses \par instead of \\ for line breaks in theory text. This may
  9584 shift some page breaks in large documents. To get the old behaviour
  9585 use \renewcommand{\isanewline}{\mbox{}\\\mbox{}} in root.tex.
  9586 
  9587 * minimized dependencies of isabelle.sty and isabellesym.sty on
  9588 other packages
  9589 
  9590 * \<euro> now needs package babel/greek instead of marvosym (which
  9591 broke \Rightarrow)
  9592 
  9593 * normal size for \<zero>...\<nine> (uses \mathbf instead of
  9594 textcomp package)
  9595 
  9596 
  9597 
  9598 New in Isabelle2002 (March 2002)
  9599 --------------------------------
  9600 
  9601 *** Document preparation ***
  9602 
  9603 * greatly simplified document preparation setup, including more
  9604 graceful interpretation of isatool usedir -i/-d/-D options, and more
  9605 instructive isatool mkdir; users should basically be able to get
  9606 started with "isatool mkdir HOL Test && isatool make"; alternatively,
  9607 users may run a separate document processing stage manually like this:
  9608 "isatool usedir -D output HOL Test && isatool document Test/output";
  9609 
  9610 * theory dependency graph may now be incorporated into documents;
  9611 isatool usedir -g true will produce session_graph.eps/.pdf for use
  9612 with \includegraphics of LaTeX;
  9613 
  9614 * proper spacing of consecutive markup elements, especially text
  9615 blocks after section headings;
  9616 
  9617 * support bold style (for single symbols only), input syntax is like
  9618 this: "\<^bold>\<alpha>" or "\<^bold>A";
  9619 
  9620 * \<bullet> is now output as bold \cdot by default, which looks much
  9621 better in printed text;
  9622 
  9623 * added default LaTeX bindings for \<tturnstile> and \<TTurnstile>;
  9624 note that these symbols are currently unavailable in Proof General /
  9625 X-Symbol; new symbols \<zero>, \<one>, ..., \<nine>, and \<euro>;
  9626 
  9627 * isatool latex no longer depends on changed TEXINPUTS, instead
  9628 isatool document copies the Isabelle style files to the target
  9629 location;
  9630 
  9631 
  9632 *** Isar ***
  9633 
  9634 * Pure/Provers: improved proof by cases and induction;
  9635   - 'case' command admits impromptu naming of parameters (such as
  9636     "case (Suc n)");
  9637   - 'induct' method divinates rule instantiation from the inductive
  9638     claim; no longer requires excessive ?P bindings for proper
  9639     instantiation of cases;
  9640   - 'induct' method properly enumerates all possibilities of set/type
  9641     rules; as a consequence facts may be also passed through *type*
  9642     rules without further ado;
  9643   - 'induct' method now derives symbolic cases from the *rulified*
  9644     rule (before it used to rulify cases stemming from the internal
  9645     atomized version); this means that the context of a non-atomic
  9646     statement becomes is included in the hypothesis, avoiding the
  9647     slightly cumbersome show "PROP ?case" form;
  9648   - 'induct' may now use elim-style induction rules without chaining
  9649     facts, using ``missing'' premises from the goal state; this allows
  9650     rules stemming from inductive sets to be applied in unstructured
  9651     scripts, while still benefitting from proper handling of non-atomic
  9652     statements; NB: major inductive premises need to be put first, all
  9653     the rest of the goal is passed through the induction;
  9654   - 'induct' proper support for mutual induction involving non-atomic
  9655     rule statements (uses the new concept of simultaneous goals, see
  9656     below);
  9657   - append all possible rule selections, but only use the first
  9658     success (no backtracking);
  9659   - removed obsolete "(simplified)" and "(stripped)" options of methods;
  9660   - undeclared rule case names default to numbers 1, 2, 3, ...;
  9661   - added 'print_induct_rules' (covered by help item in recent Proof
  9662     General versions);
  9663   - moved induct/cases attributes to Pure, methods to Provers;
  9664   - generic method setup instantiated for FOL and HOL;
  9665 
  9666 * Pure: support multiple simultaneous goal statements, for example
  9667 "have a: A and b: B" (same for 'theorem' etc.); being a pure
  9668 meta-level mechanism, this acts as if several individual goals had
  9669 been stated separately; in particular common proof methods need to be
  9670 repeated in order to cover all claims; note that a single elimination
  9671 step is *not* sufficient to establish the two conjunctions, so this
  9672 fails:
  9673 
  9674   assume "A & B" then have A and B ..   (*".." fails*)
  9675 
  9676 better use "obtain" in situations as above; alternative refer to
  9677 multi-step methods like 'auto', 'simp_all', 'blast+' etc.;
  9678 
  9679 * Pure: proper integration with ``locales''; unlike the original
  9680 version by Florian Kammller, Isar locales package high-level proof
  9681 contexts rather than raw logical ones (e.g. we admit to include
  9682 attributes everywhere); operations on locales include merge and
  9683 rename; support for implicit arguments (``structures''); simultaneous
  9684 type-inference over imports and text; see also HOL/ex/Locales.thy for
  9685 some examples;
  9686 
  9687 * Pure: the following commands have been ``localized'', supporting a
  9688 target locale specification "(in name)": 'lemma', 'theorem',
  9689 'corollary', 'lemmas', 'theorems', 'declare'; the results will be
  9690 stored both within the locale and at the theory level (exported and
  9691 qualified by the locale name);
  9692 
  9693 * Pure: theory goals may now be specified in ``long'' form, with
  9694 ad-hoc contexts consisting of arbitrary locale elements. for example
  9695 ``lemma foo: fixes x assumes "A x" shows "B x"'' (local syntax and
  9696 definitions may be given, too); the result is a meta-level rule with
  9697 the context elements being discharged in the obvious way;
  9698 
  9699 * Pure: new proof command 'using' allows to augment currently used
  9700 facts after a goal statement ('using' is syntactically analogous to
  9701 'apply', but acts on the goal's facts only); this allows chained facts
  9702 to be separated into parts given before and after a claim, as in
  9703 ``from a and b have C using d and e <proof>'';
  9704 
  9705 * Pure: renamed "antecedent" case to "rule_context";
  9706 
  9707 * Pure: new 'judgment' command records explicit information about the
  9708 object-logic embedding (used by several tools internally); no longer
  9709 use hard-wired "Trueprop";
  9710 
  9711 * Pure: added 'corollary' command;
  9712 
  9713 * Pure: fixed 'token_translation' command;
  9714 
  9715 * Pure: removed obsolete 'exported' attribute;
  9716 
  9717 * Pure: dummy pattern "_" in is/let is now automatically lifted over
  9718 bound variables: "ALL x. P x --> Q x" (is "ALL x. _ --> ?C x")
  9719 supersedes more cumbersome ... (is "ALL x. _ x --> ?C x");
  9720 
  9721 * Pure: method 'atomize' presents local goal premises as object-level
  9722 statements (atomic meta-level propositions); setup controlled via
  9723 rewrite rules declarations of 'atomize' attribute; example
  9724 application: 'induct' method with proper rule statements in improper
  9725 proof *scripts*;
  9726 
  9727 * Pure: emulation of instantiation tactics (rule_tac, cut_tac, etc.)
  9728 now consider the syntactic context of assumptions, giving a better
  9729 chance to get type-inference of the arguments right (this is
  9730 especially important for locales);
  9731 
  9732 * Pure: "sorry" no longer requires quick_and_dirty in interactive
  9733 mode;
  9734 
  9735 * Pure/obtain: the formal conclusion "thesis", being marked as
  9736 ``internal'', may no longer be reference directly in the text;
  9737 potential INCOMPATIBILITY, may need to use "?thesis" in rare
  9738 situations;
  9739 
  9740 * Pure: generic 'sym' attribute which declares a rule both as pure
  9741 'elim?' and for the 'symmetric' operation;
  9742 
  9743 * Pure: marginal comments ``--'' may now occur just anywhere in the
  9744 text; the fixed correlation with particular command syntax has been
  9745 discontinued;
  9746 
  9747 * Pure: new method 'rules' is particularly well-suited for proof
  9748 search in intuitionistic logic; a bit slower than 'blast' or 'fast',
  9749 but often produces more compact proof terms with less detours;
  9750 
  9751 * Pure/Provers/classical: simplified integration with pure rule
  9752 attributes and methods; the classical "intro?/elim?/dest?"
  9753 declarations coincide with the pure ones; the "rule" method no longer
  9754 includes classically swapped intros; "intro" and "elim" methods no
  9755 longer pick rules from the context; also got rid of ML declarations
  9756 AddXIs/AddXEs/AddXDs; all of this has some potential for
  9757 INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9758 
  9759 * Provers/classical: attribute 'swapped' produces classical inversions
  9760 of introduction rules;
  9761 
  9762 * Provers/simplifier: 'simplified' attribute may refer to explicit
  9763 rules instead of full simplifier context; 'iff' attribute handles
  9764 conditional rules;
  9765 
  9766 * HOL: 'typedef' now allows alternative names for Rep/Abs morphisms;
  9767 
  9768 * HOL: 'recdef' now fails on unfinished automated proofs, use
  9769 "(permissive)" option to recover old behavior;
  9770 
  9771 * HOL: 'inductive' no longer features separate (collective) attributes
  9772 for 'intros' (was found too confusing);
  9773 
  9774 * HOL: properly declared induction rules less_induct and
  9775 wf_induct_rule;
  9776 
  9777 
  9778 *** HOL ***
  9779 
  9780 * HOL: moved over to sane numeral syntax; the new policy is as
  9781 follows:
  9782 
  9783   - 0 and 1 are polymorphic constants, which are defined on any
  9784   numeric type (nat, int, real etc.);
  9785 
  9786   - 2, 3, 4, ... and -1, -2, -3, ... are polymorphic numerals, based
  9787   binary representation internally;
  9788 
  9789   - type nat has special constructor Suc, and generally prefers Suc 0
  9790   over 1::nat and Suc (Suc 0) over 2::nat;
  9791 
  9792 This change may cause significant problems of INCOMPATIBILITY; here
  9793 are some hints on converting existing sources:
  9794 
  9795   - due to the new "num" token, "-0" and "-1" etc. are now atomic
  9796   entities, so expressions involving "-" (unary or binary minus) need
  9797   to be spaced properly;
  9798 
  9799   - existing occurrences of "1" may need to be constraint "1::nat" or
  9800   even replaced by Suc 0; similar for old "2";
  9801 
  9802   - replace "#nnn" by "nnn", and "#-nnn" by "-nnn";
  9803 
  9804   - remove all special provisions on numerals in proofs;
  9805 
  9806 * HOL: simp rules nat_number expand numerals on nat to Suc/0
  9807 representation (depends on bin_arith_simps in the default context);
  9808 
  9809 * HOL: symbolic syntax for x^2 (numeral 2);
  9810 
  9811 * HOL: the class of all HOL types is now called "type" rather than
  9812 "term"; INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt references to this type class
  9813 in axclass/classes, instance/arities, and (usually rare) occurrences
  9814 in typings (of consts etc.); internally the class is called
  9815 "HOL.type", ML programs should refer to HOLogic.typeS;
  9816 
  9817 * HOL/record package improvements:
  9818   - new derived operations "fields" to build a partial record section,
  9819     "extend" to promote a fixed record to a record scheme, and
  9820     "truncate" for the reverse; cf. theorems "xxx.defs", which are *not*
  9821     declared as simp by default;
  9822   - shared operations ("more", "fields", etc.) now need to be always
  9823     qualified) --- potential INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9824   - removed "make_scheme" operations (use "make" with "extend") --
  9825     INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9826   - removed "more" class (simply use "term") -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9827   - provides cases/induct rules for use with corresponding Isar
  9828     methods (for concrete records, record schemes, concrete more
  9829     parts, and schematic more parts -- in that order);
  9830   - internal definitions directly based on a light-weight abstract
  9831     theory of product types over typedef rather than datatype;
  9832 
  9833 * HOL: generic code generator for generating executable ML code from
  9834 specifications; specific support for HOL constructs such as inductive
  9835 datatypes and sets, as well as recursive functions; can be invoked
  9836 via 'generate_code' theory section;
  9837 
  9838 * HOL: canonical cases/induct rules for n-tuples (n = 3..7);
  9839 
  9840 * HOL: consolidated and renamed several theories.  In particular:
  9841         Ord.thy has been absorbed into HOL.thy
  9842         String.thy has been absorbed into List.thy
  9843 
  9844 * HOL: concrete setsum syntax "\<Sum>i:A. b" == "setsum (%i. b) A"
  9845 (beware of argument permutation!);
  9846 
  9847 * HOL: linorder_less_split superseded by linorder_cases;
  9848 
  9849 * HOL/List: "nodups" renamed to "distinct";
  9850 
  9851 * HOL: added "The" definite description operator; move Hilbert's "Eps"
  9852 to peripheral theory "Hilbert_Choice"; some INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  9853   - Ex_def has changed, now need to use some_eq_ex
  9854 
  9855 * HOL: made split_all_tac safe; EXISTING PROOFS MAY FAIL OR LOOP, so
  9856 in this (rare) case use:
  9857 
  9858   delSWrapper "split_all_tac"
  9859   addSbefore ("unsafe_split_all_tac", unsafe_split_all_tac)
  9860 
  9861 * HOL: added safe wrapper "split_conv_tac" to claset; EXISTING PROOFS
  9862 MAY FAIL;
  9863 
  9864 * HOL: introduced f^n = f o ... o f; warning: due to the limits of
  9865 Isabelle's type classes, ^ on functions and relations has too general
  9866 a domain, namely ('a * 'b) set and 'a => 'b; this means that it may be
  9867 necessary to attach explicit type constraints;
  9868 
  9869 * HOL/Relation: the prefix name of the infix "O" has been changed from
  9870 "comp" to "rel_comp"; INCOMPATIBILITY: a few theorems have been
  9871 renamed accordingly (eg "compI" -> "rel_compI").
  9872 
  9873 * HOL: syntax translations now work properly with numerals and records
  9874 expressions;
  9875 
  9876 * HOL: bounded abstraction now uses syntax "%" / "\<lambda>" instead
  9877 of "lam" -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9878 
  9879 * HOL: got rid of some global declarations (potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  9880 for ML tools): const "()" renamed "Product_Type.Unity", type "unit"
  9881 renamed "Product_Type.unit";
  9882 
  9883 * HOL: renamed rtrancl_into_rtrancl2 to converse_rtrancl_into_rtrancl
  9884 
  9885 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem "optionE" (use "option.exhaust", or
  9886 the "cases" method);
  9887 
  9888 * HOL/GroupTheory: group theory examples including Sylow's theorem (by
  9889 Florian Kammller);
  9890 
  9891 * HOL/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory format; several
  9892 parts turned into readable document, with proper Isar proof texts and
  9893 some explanations (by Gerwin Klein);
  9894 
  9895 * HOL-Real: added Complex_Numbers (by Gertrud Bauer);
  9896 
  9897 * HOL-Hyperreal is now a logic image;
  9898 
  9899 
  9900 *** HOLCF ***
  9901 
  9902 * Isar: consts/constdefs supports mixfix syntax for continuous
  9903 operations;
  9904 
  9905 * Isar: domain package adapted to new-style theory format, e.g. see
  9906 HOLCF/ex/Dnat.thy;
  9907 
  9908 * theory Lift: proper use of rep_datatype lift instead of ML hacks --
  9909 potential INCOMPATIBILITY; now use plain induct_tac instead of former
  9910 lift.induct_tac, always use UU instead of Undef;
  9911 
  9912 * HOLCF/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory;
  9913 
  9914 
  9915 *** ZF ***
  9916 
  9917 * Isar: proper integration of logic-specific tools and packages,
  9918 including theory commands '(co)inductive', '(co)datatype',
  9919 'rep_datatype', 'inductive_cases', as well as methods 'ind_cases',
  9920 'induct_tac', 'case_tac', and 'typecheck' (with attribute 'TC');
  9921 
  9922 * theory Main no longer includes AC; for the Axiom of Choice, base
  9923 your theory on Main_ZFC;
  9924 
  9925 * the integer library now covers quotients and remainders, with many
  9926 laws relating division to addition, multiplication, etc.;
  9927 
  9928 * ZF/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY is now available in ZF, giving a
  9929 typeless version of the formalism;
  9930 
  9931 * ZF/AC, Coind, IMP, Resid: updated and converted to new-style theory
  9932 format;
  9933 
  9934 * ZF/Induct: new directory for examples of inductive definitions,
  9935 including theory Multiset for multiset orderings; converted to
  9936 new-style theory format;
  9937 
  9938 * ZF: many new theorems about lists, ordinals, etc.;
  9939 
  9940 
  9941 *** General ***
  9942 
  9943 * Pure/kernel: meta-level proof terms (by Stefan Berghofer); reference
  9944 variable proof controls level of detail: 0 = no proofs (only oracle
  9945 dependencies), 1 = lemma dependencies, 2 = compact proof terms; see
  9946 also ref manual for further ML interfaces;
  9947 
  9948 * Pure/axclass: removed obsolete ML interface
  9949 goal_subclass/goal_arity;
  9950 
  9951 * Pure/syntax: new token syntax "num" for plain numerals (without "#"
  9952 of "xnum"); potential INCOMPATIBILITY, since -0, -1 etc. are now
  9953 separate tokens, so expressions involving minus need to be spaced
  9954 properly;
  9955 
  9956 * Pure/syntax: support non-oriented infixes, using keyword "infix"
  9957 rather than "infixl" or "infixr";
  9958 
  9959 * Pure/syntax: concrete syntax for dummy type variables admits genuine
  9960 sort constraint specifications in type inference; e.g. "x::_::foo"
  9961 ensures that the type of "x" is of sort "foo" (but not necessarily a
  9962 type variable);
  9963 
  9964 * Pure/syntax: print modes "type_brackets" and "no_type_brackets"
  9965 control output of nested => (types); the default behavior is
  9966 "type_brackets";
  9967 
  9968 * Pure/syntax: builtin parse translation for "_constify" turns valued
  9969 tokens into AST constants;
  9970 
  9971 * Pure/syntax: prefer later declarations of translations and print
  9972 translation functions; potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to reverse
  9973 multiple declarations for same syntax element constant;
  9974 
  9975 * Pure/show_hyps reset by default (in accordance to existing Isar
  9976 practice);
  9977 
  9978 * Provers/classical: renamed addaltern to addafter, addSaltern to
  9979 addSafter;
  9980 
  9981 * Provers/clasimp: ``iff'' declarations now handle conditional rules
  9982 as well;
  9983 
  9984 * system: tested support for MacOS X; should be able to get Isabelle +
  9985 Proof General to work in a plain Terminal after installing Poly/ML
  9986 (e.g. from the Isabelle distribution area) and GNU bash alone
  9987 (e.g. from http://www.apple.com); full X11, XEmacs and X-Symbol
  9988 support requires further installations, e.g. from
  9989 http://fink.sourceforge.net/);
  9990 
  9991 * system: support Poly/ML 4.1.1 (able to manage larger heaps);
  9992 
  9993 * system: reduced base memory usage by Poly/ML (approx. 20 MB instead
  9994 of 40 MB), cf. ML_OPTIONS;
  9995 
  9996 * system: Proof General keywords specification is now part of the
  9997 Isabelle distribution (see etc/isar-keywords.el);
  9998 
  9999 * system: support for persistent Proof General sessions (refrain from
 10000 outdating all loaded theories on startup); user may create writable
 10001 logic images like this: ``isabelle -q HOL Test'';
 10002 
 10003 * system: smart selection of Isabelle process versus Isabelle
 10004 interface, accommodates case-insensitive file systems (e.g. HFS+); may
 10005 run both "isabelle" and "Isabelle" even if file names are badly
 10006 damaged (executable inspects the case of the first letter of its own
 10007 name); added separate "isabelle-process" and "isabelle-interface";
 10008 
 10009 * system: refrain from any attempt at filtering input streams; no
 10010 longer support ``8bit'' encoding of old isabelle font, instead proper
 10011 iso-latin characters may now be used; the related isatools
 10012 "symbolinput" and "nonascii" have disappeared as well;
 10013 
 10014 * system: removed old "xterm" interface (the print modes "xterm" and
 10015 "xterm_color" are still available for direct use in a suitable
 10016 terminal);
 10017 
 10018 
 10019 
 10020 New in Isabelle99-2 (February 2001)
 10021 -----------------------------------
 10022 
 10023 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
 10024 
 10025 * HOL: please note that theories in the Library and elsewhere often use the
 10026 new-style (Isar) format; to refer to their theorems in an ML script you must
 10027 bind them to ML identifers by e.g.      val thm_name = thm "thm_name";
 10028 
 10029 * HOL: inductive package no longer splits induction rule aggressively,
 10030 but only as far as specified by the introductions given; the old
 10031 format may be recovered via ML function complete_split_rule or attribute
 10032 'split_rule (complete)';
 10033 
 10034 * HOL: induct renamed to lfp_induct, lfp_Tarski to lfp_unfold,
 10035 gfp_Tarski to gfp_unfold;
 10036 
 10037 * HOL: contrapos, contrapos2 renamed to contrapos_nn, contrapos_pp;
 10038 
 10039 * HOL: infix "dvd" now has priority 50 rather than 70 (because it is a
 10040 relation); infix "^^" has been renamed "``"; infix "``" has been
 10041 renamed "`"; "univalent" has been renamed "single_valued";
 10042 
 10043 * HOL/Real: "rinv" and "hrinv" replaced by overloaded "inverse"
 10044 operation;
 10045 
 10046 * HOLCF: infix "`" has been renamed "$"; the symbol syntax is \<cdot>;
 10047 
 10048 * Isar: 'obtain' no longer declares "that" fact as simp/intro;
 10049 
 10050 * Isar/HOL: method 'induct' now handles non-atomic goals; as a
 10051 consequence, it is no longer monotonic wrt. the local goal context
 10052 (which is now passed through the inductive cases);
 10053 
 10054 * Document preparation: renamed standard symbols \<ll> to \<lless> and
 10055 \<gg> to \<ggreater>;
 10056 
 10057 
 10058 *** Document preparation ***
 10059 
 10060 * \isabellestyle{NAME} selects version of Isabelle output (currently
 10061 available: are "it" for near math-mode best-style output, "sl" for
 10062 slanted text style, and "tt" for plain type-writer; if no
 10063 \isabellestyle command is given, output is according to slanted
 10064 type-writer);
 10065 
 10066 * support sub/super scripts (for single symbols only), input syntax is
 10067 like this: "A\<^sup>*" or "A\<^sup>\<star>";
 10068 
 10069 * some more standard symbols; see Appendix A of the system manual for
 10070 the complete list of symbols defined in isabellesym.sty;
 10071 
 10072 * improved isabelle style files; more abstract symbol implementation
 10073 (should now use \isamath{...} and \isatext{...} in custom symbol
 10074 definitions);
 10075 
 10076 * antiquotation @{goals} and @{subgoals} for output of *dynamic* goals
 10077 state; Note that presentation of goal states does not conform to
 10078 actual human-readable proof documents.  Please do not include goal
 10079 states into document output unless you really know what you are doing!
 10080 
 10081 * proper indentation of antiquoted output with proportional LaTeX
 10082 fonts;
 10083 
 10084 * no_document ML operator temporarily disables LaTeX document
 10085 generation;
 10086 
 10087 * isatool unsymbolize tunes sources for plain ASCII communication;
 10088 
 10089 
 10090 *** Isar ***
 10091 
 10092 * Pure: Isar now suffers initial goal statements to contain unbound
 10093 schematic variables (this does not conform to actual readable proof
 10094 documents, due to unpredictable outcome and non-compositional proof
 10095 checking); users who know what they are doing may use schematic goals
 10096 for Prolog-style synthesis of proven results;
 10097 
 10098 * Pure: assumption method (an implicit finishing) now handles actual
 10099 rules as well;
 10100 
 10101 * Pure: improved 'obtain' --- moved to Pure, insert "that" into
 10102 initial goal, declare "that" only as Pure intro (only for single
 10103 steps); the "that" rule assumption may now be involved in implicit
 10104 finishing, thus ".." becomes a feasible for trivial obtains;
 10105 
 10106 * Pure: default proof step now includes 'intro_classes'; thus trivial
 10107 instance proofs may be performed by "..";
 10108 
 10109 * Pure: ?thesis / ?this / "..." now work for pure meta-level
 10110 statements as well;
 10111 
 10112 * Pure: more robust selection of calculational rules;
 10113 
 10114 * Pure: the builtin notion of 'finished' goal now includes the ==-refl
 10115 rule (as well as the assumption rule);
 10116 
 10117 * Pure: 'thm_deps' command visualizes dependencies of theorems and
 10118 lemmas, using the graph browser tool;
 10119 
 10120 * Pure: predict failure of "show" in interactive mode;
 10121 
 10122 * Pure: 'thms_containing' now takes actual terms as arguments;
 10123 
 10124 * HOL: improved method 'induct' --- now handles non-atomic goals
 10125 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY); tuned error handling;
 10126 
 10127 * HOL: cases and induct rules now provide explicit hints about the
 10128 number of facts to be consumed (0 for "type" and 1 for "set" rules);
 10129 any remaining facts are inserted into the goal verbatim;
 10130 
 10131 * HOL: local contexts (aka cases) may now contain term bindings as
 10132 well; the 'cases' and 'induct' methods new provide a ?case binding for
 10133 the result to be shown in each case;
 10134 
 10135 * HOL: added 'recdef_tc' command;
 10136 
 10137 * isatool convert assists in eliminating legacy ML scripts;
 10138 
 10139 
 10140 *** HOL ***
 10141 
 10142 * HOL/Library: a collection of generic theories to be used together
 10143 with main HOL; the theory loader path already includes this directory
 10144 by default; the following existing theories have been moved here:
 10145 HOL/Induct/Multiset, HOL/Induct/Acc (as Accessible_Part), HOL/While
 10146 (as While_Combinator), HOL/Lex/Prefix (as List_Prefix);
 10147 
 10148 * HOL/Unix: "Some aspects of Unix file-system security", a typical
 10149 modelling and verification task performed in Isabelle/HOL +
 10150 Isabelle/Isar + Isabelle document preparation (by Markus Wenzel).
 10151 
 10152 * HOL/Algebra: special summation operator SUM no longer exists, it has
 10153 been replaced by setsum; infix 'assoc' now has priority 50 (like
 10154 'dvd'); axiom 'one_not_zero' has been moved from axclass 'ring' to
 10155 'domain', this makes the theory consistent with mathematical
 10156 literature;
 10157 
 10158 * HOL basics: added overloaded operations "inverse" and "divide"
 10159 (infix "/"), syntax for generic "abs" operation, generic summation
 10160 operator \<Sum>;
 10161 
 10162 * HOL/typedef: simplified package, provide more useful rules (see also
 10163 HOL/subset.thy);
 10164 
 10165 * HOL/datatype: induction rule for arbitrarily branching datatypes is
 10166 now expressed as a proper nested rule (old-style tactic scripts may
 10167 require atomize_strip_tac to cope with non-atomic premises);
 10168 
 10169 * HOL: renamed theory "Prod" to "Product_Type", renamed "split" rule
 10170 to "split_conv" (old name still available for compatibility);
 10171 
 10172 * HOL: improved concrete syntax for strings (e.g. allows translation
 10173 rules with string literals);
 10174 
 10175 * HOL-Real-Hyperreal: this extends HOL-Real with the hyperreals
 10176  and Fleuriot's mechanization of analysis, including the transcendental
 10177  functions for the reals;
 10178 
 10179 * HOL/Real, HOL/Hyperreal: improved arithmetic simplification;
 10180 
 10181 
 10182 *** CTT ***
 10183 
 10184 * CTT: x-symbol support for Pi, Sigma, -->, : (membership); note that
 10185 "lam" is displayed as TWO lambda-symbols
 10186 
 10187 * CTT: theory Main now available, containing everything (that is, Bool
 10188 and Arith);
 10189 
 10190 
 10191 *** General ***
 10192 
 10193 * Pure: the Simplifier has been implemented properly as a derived rule
 10194 outside of the actual kernel (at last!); the overall performance
 10195 penalty in practical applications is about 50%, while reliability of
 10196 the Isabelle inference kernel has been greatly improved;
 10197 
 10198 * print modes "brackets" and "no_brackets" control output of nested =>
 10199 (types) and ==> (props); the default behaviour is "brackets";
 10200 
 10201 * Provers: fast_tac (and friends) now handle actual object-logic rules
 10202 as assumptions as well;
 10203 
 10204 * system: support Poly/ML 4.0;
 10205 
 10206 * system: isatool install handles KDE version 1 or 2;
 10207 
 10208 
 10209 
 10210 New in Isabelle99-1 (October 2000)
 10211 ----------------------------------
 10212 
 10213 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
 10214 
 10215 * HOL: simplification of natural numbers is much changed; to partly
 10216 recover the old behaviour (e.g. to prevent n+n rewriting to #2*n)
 10217 issue the following ML commands:
 10218 
 10219   Delsimprocs Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.cancel_numerals;
 10220   Delsimprocs [Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.combine_numerals];
 10221 
 10222 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions; this is
 10223 controlled by "t.weak_case_cong" for each datatype t;
 10224 
 10225 * HOL: nat_less_induct renamed to less_induct;
 10226 
 10227 * HOL: systematic renaming of the SOME (Eps) rules, may use isatool
 10228 fixsome to patch .thy and .ML sources automatically;
 10229 
 10230   select_equality  -> some_equality
 10231   select_eq_Ex     -> some_eq_ex
 10232   selectI2EX       -> someI2_ex
 10233   selectI2         -> someI2
 10234   selectI          -> someI
 10235   select1_equality -> some1_equality
 10236   Eps_sym_eq       -> some_sym_eq_trivial
 10237   Eps_eq           -> some_eq_trivial
 10238 
 10239 * HOL: exhaust_tac on datatypes superceded by new generic case_tac;
 10240 
 10241 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem binding expand_if (refer to split_if
 10242 instead);
 10243 
 10244 * HOL: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' are now called
 10245 f.simps instead of f.rules;
 10246 
 10247 * HOL: qed_spec_mp now also handles bounded ALL as well;
 10248 
 10249 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded, so the type constraint ":: nat" may
 10250 sometimes be needed;
 10251 
 10252 * HOL: the constant for "f``x" is now "image" rather than "op ``";
 10253 
 10254 * HOL: the constant for "f-``x" is now "vimage" rather than "op -``";
 10255 
 10256 * HOL: the disjoint sum is now "<+>" instead of "Plus"; the cartesian
 10257 product is now "<*>" instead of "Times"; the lexicographic product is
 10258 now "<*lex*>" instead of "**";
 10259 
 10260 * HOL: theory Sexp is now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part
 10261 of main HOL, but was unused); better use HOL's datatype package;
 10262 
 10263 * HOL: removed "symbols" syntax for constant "override" of theory Map;
 10264 the old syntax may be recovered as follows:
 10265 
 10266   syntax (symbols)
 10267     override  :: "('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b)"
 10268       (infixl "\\<oplus>" 100)
 10269 
 10270 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
 10271 
 10272 * HOL/ML: even fewer consts are declared as global (see theories Ord,
 10273 Lfp, Gfp, WF); this only affects ML packages that refer to const names
 10274 internally;
 10275 
 10276 * HOL and ZF: syntax for quotienting wrt an equivalence relation
 10277 changed from A/r to A//r;
 10278 
 10279 * ZF: new treatment of arithmetic (nat & int) may break some old
 10280 proofs;
 10281 
 10282 * Isar: renamed some attributes (RS -> THEN, simplify -> simplified,
 10283 rulify -> rule_format, elimify -> elim_format, ...);
 10284 
 10285 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
 10286 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (in most cases, one
 10287 should have to change intro!! to intro? only); replaced "delrule" by
 10288 "rule del";
 10289 
 10290 * Isar/HOL: renamed "intrs" to "intros" in inductive definitions;
 10291 
 10292 * Provers: strengthened force_tac by using new first_best_tac;
 10293 
 10294 * LaTeX document preparation: several changes of isabelle.sty (see
 10295 lib/texinputs);
 10296 
 10297 
 10298 *** Document preparation ***
 10299 
 10300 * formal comments (text blocks etc.) in new-style theories may now
 10301 contain antiquotations of thm/prop/term/typ/text to be presented
 10302 according to latex print mode; concrete syntax is like this:
 10303 @{term[show_types] "f(x) = a + x"};
 10304 
 10305 * isatool mkdir provides easy setup of Isabelle session directories,
 10306 including proper document sources;
 10307 
 10308 * generated LaTeX sources are now deleted after successful run
 10309 (isatool document -c); may retain a copy somewhere else via -D option
 10310 of isatool usedir;
 10311 
 10312 * isatool usedir -D now lets isatool latex -o sty update the Isabelle
 10313 style files, achieving self-contained LaTeX sources and simplifying
 10314 LaTeX debugging;
 10315 
 10316 * old-style theories now produce (crude) LaTeX output as well;
 10317 
 10318 * browser info session directories are now self-contained (may be put
 10319 on WWW server seperately); improved graphs of nested sessions; removed
 10320 graph for 'all sessions';
 10321 
 10322 * several improvements in isabelle style files; \isabellestyle{it}
 10323 produces fake math mode output; \isamarkupheader is now \section by
 10324 default; see lib/texinputs/isabelle.sty etc.;
 10325 
 10326 
 10327 *** Isar ***
 10328 
 10329 * Isar/Pure: local results and corresponding term bindings are now
 10330 subject to Hindley-Milner polymorphism (similar to ML); this
 10331 accommodates incremental type-inference very nicely;
 10332 
 10333 * Isar/Pure: new derived language element 'obtain' supports
 10334 generalized existence reasoning;
 10335 
 10336 * Isar/Pure: new calculational elements 'moreover' and 'ultimately'
 10337 support accumulation of results, without applying any rules yet;
 10338 useful to collect intermediate results without explicit name
 10339 references, and for use with transitivity rules with more than 2
 10340 premises;
 10341 
 10342 * Isar/Pure: scalable support for case-analysis type proofs: new
 10343 'case' language element refers to local contexts symbolically, as
 10344 produced by certain proof methods; internally, case names are attached
 10345 to theorems as "tags";
 10346 
 10347 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'hide' removes declarations from
 10348 class/type/const name spaces;
 10349 
 10350 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'defs' supports option "(overloaded)" to
 10351 indicate potential overloading;
 10352 
 10353 * Isar/Pure: changed syntax of local blocks from {{ }} to { };
 10354 
 10355 * Isar/Pure: syntax of sorts made 'inner', i.e. have to write
 10356 "{a,b,c}" instead of {a,b,c};
 10357 
 10358 * Isar/Pure now provides its own version of intro/elim/dest
 10359 attributes; useful for building new logics, but beware of confusion
 10360 with the version in Provers/classical;
 10361 
 10362 * Isar/Pure: the local context of (non-atomic) goals is provided via
 10363 case name 'antecedent';
 10364 
 10365 * Isar/Pure: removed obsolete 'transfer' attribute (transfer of thms
 10366 to the current context is now done automatically);
 10367 
 10368 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'method_setup' provides a simple interface
 10369 for definining proof methods in ML;
 10370 
 10371 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
 10372 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (INCOMPATIBILITY, in
 10373 most cases, one should have to change intro!! to intro? only);
 10374 replaced "delrule" by "rule del";
 10375 
 10376 * Isar/Provers: new 'hypsubst' method, plain 'subst' method and
 10377 'symmetric' attribute (the latter supercedes [RS sym]);
 10378 
 10379 * Isar/Provers: splitter support (via 'split' attribute and 'simp'
 10380 method modifier); 'simp' method: 'only:' modifier removes loopers as
 10381 well (including splits);
 10382 
 10383 * Isar/Provers: Simplifier and Classical methods now support all kind
 10384 of modifiers used in the past, including 'cong', 'iff', etc.
 10385 
 10386 * Isar/Provers: added 'fastsimp' and 'clarsimp' methods (combination
 10387 of Simplifier and Classical reasoner);
 10388 
 10389 * Isar/HOL: new proof method 'cases' and improved version of 'induct'
 10390 now support named cases; major packages (inductive, datatype, primrec,
 10391 recdef) support case names and properly name parameters;
 10392 
 10393 * Isar/HOL: new transitivity rules for substitution in inequalities --
 10394 monotonicity conditions are extracted to be proven at end of
 10395 calculations;
 10396 
 10397 * Isar/HOL: removed 'case_split' thm binding, should use 'cases' proof
 10398 method anyway;
 10399 
 10400 * Isar/HOL: removed old expand_if = split_if; theorems if_splits =
 10401 split_if split_if_asm; datatype package provides theorems foo.splits =
 10402 foo.split foo.split_asm for each datatype;
 10403 
 10404 * Isar/HOL: tuned inductive package, rename "intrs" to "intros"
 10405 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY), emulation of mk_cases feature for proof
 10406 scripts: new 'inductive_cases' command and 'ind_cases' method; (Note:
 10407 use "(cases (simplified))" method in proper proof texts);
 10408 
 10409 * Isar/HOL: added global 'arith_split' attribute for 'arith' method;
 10410 
 10411 * Isar: names of theorems etc. may be natural numbers as well;
 10412 
 10413 * Isar: 'pr' command: optional arguments for goals_limit and
 10414 ProofContext.prems_limit; no longer prints theory contexts, but only
 10415 proof states;
 10416 
 10417 * Isar: diagnostic commands 'pr', 'thm', 'prop', 'term', 'typ' admit
 10418 additional print modes to be specified; e.g. "pr(latex)" will print
 10419 proof state according to the Isabelle LaTeX style;
 10420 
 10421 * Isar: improved support for emulating tactic scripts, including proof
 10422 methods 'rule_tac' etc., 'cut_tac', 'thin_tac', 'subgoal_tac',
 10423 'rename_tac', 'rotate_tac', 'tactic', and 'case_tac' / 'induct_tac'
 10424 (for HOL datatypes);
 10425 
 10426 * Isar: simplified (more robust) goal selection of proof methods: 1st
 10427 goal, all goals, or explicit goal specifier (tactic emulation); thus
 10428 'proof method scripts' have to be in depth-first order;
 10429 
 10430 * Isar: tuned 'let' syntax: replaced 'as' keyword by 'and';
 10431 
 10432 * Isar: removed 'help' command, which hasn't been too helpful anyway;
 10433 should instead use individual commands for printing items
 10434 (print_commands, print_methods etc.);
 10435 
 10436 * Isar: added 'nothing' --- the empty list of theorems;
 10437 
 10438 
 10439 *** HOL ***
 10440 
 10441 * HOL/MicroJava: formalization of a fragment of Java, together with a
 10442 corresponding virtual machine and a specification of its bytecode
 10443 verifier and a lightweight bytecode verifier, including proofs of
 10444 type-safety; by Gerwin Klein, Tobias Nipkow, David von Oheimb, and
 10445 Cornelia Pusch (see also the homepage of project Bali at
 10446 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Bali/);
 10447 
 10448 * HOL/Algebra: new theory of rings and univariate polynomials, by
 10449 Clemens Ballarin;
 10450 
 10451 * HOL/NumberTheory: fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, Chinese
 10452 Remainder Theorem, Fermat/Euler Theorem, Wilson's Theorem, by Thomas M
 10453 Rasmussen;
 10454 
 10455 * HOL/Lattice: fundamental concepts of lattice theory and order
 10456 structures, including duals, properties of bounds versus algebraic
 10457 laws, lattice operations versus set-theoretic ones, the Knaster-Tarski
 10458 Theorem for complete lattices etc.; may also serve as a demonstration
 10459 for abstract algebraic reasoning using axiomatic type classes, and
 10460 mathematics-style proof in Isabelle/Isar; by Markus Wenzel;
 10461 
 10462 * HOL/Prolog: a (bare-bones) implementation of Lambda-Prolog, by David
 10463 von Oheimb;
 10464 
 10465 * HOL/IMPP: extension of IMP with local variables and mutually
 10466 recursive procedures, by David von Oheimb;
 10467 
 10468 * HOL/Lambda: converted into new-style theory and document;
 10469 
 10470 * HOL/ex/Multiquote: example of multiple nested quotations and
 10471 anti-quotations -- basically a generalized version of de-Bruijn
 10472 representation; very useful in avoiding lifting of operations;
 10473 
 10474 * HOL/record: added general record equality rule to simpset; fixed
 10475 select-update simplification procedure to handle extended records as
 10476 well; admit "r" as field name;
 10477 
 10478 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded over the new sort "zero", allowing its use with
 10479 other numeric types and also as the identity of groups, rings, etc.;
 10480 
 10481 * HOL: new axclass plus_ac0 for addition with the AC-laws and 0 as identity.
 10482 Types nat and int belong to this axclass;
 10483 
 10484 * HOL: greatly improved simplification involving numerals of type nat, int, real:
 10485    (i + #8 + j) = Suc k simplifies to  #7 + (i + j) = k
 10486    i*j + k + j*#3*i     simplifies to  #4*(i*j) + k
 10487   two terms #m*u and #n*u are replaced by #(m+n)*u
 10488     (where #m, #n and u can implicitly be 1; this is simproc combine_numerals)
 10489   and the term/formula #m*u+x ~~ #n*u+y simplifies simplifies to #(m-n)+x ~~ y
 10490     or x ~~ #(n-m)+y, where ~~ is one of = < <= or - (simproc cancel_numerals);
 10491 
 10492 * HOL: meson_tac is available (previously in ex/meson.ML); it is a
 10493 powerful prover for predicate logic but knows nothing of clasets; see
 10494 ex/mesontest.ML and ex/mesontest2.ML for example applications;
 10495 
 10496 * HOL: new version of "case_tac" subsumes both boolean case split and
 10497 "exhaust_tac" on datatypes; INCOMPATIBILITY: exhaust_tac no longer
 10498 exists, may define val exhaust_tac = case_tac for ad-hoc portability;
 10499 
 10500 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions: only the
 10501 selector expression is simplified, but not the remaining arms; to
 10502 enable full simplification of case-expressions for datatype t, you may
 10503 remove t.weak_case_cong from the simpset, either globally (Delcongs
 10504 [thm"t.weak_case_cong"];) or locally (delcongs [...]).
 10505 
 10506 * HOL/recdef: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' for
 10507 function 'f' are now called f.simps instead of f.rules; if all
 10508 termination conditions are proved automatically, these simplification
 10509 rules are added to the simpset, as in primrec; rules may be named
 10510 individually as well, resulting in a separate list of theorems for
 10511 each equation;
 10512 
 10513 * HOL/While is a new theory that provides a while-combinator. It
 10514 permits the definition of tail-recursive functions without the
 10515 provision of a termination measure. The latter is necessary once the
 10516 invariant proof rule for while is applied.
 10517 
 10518 * HOL: new (overloaded) notation for the set of elements below/above
 10519 some element: {..u}, {..u(}, {l..}, {)l..}. See theory SetInterval.
 10520 
 10521 * HOL: theorems impI, allI, ballI bound as "strip";
 10522 
 10523 * HOL: new tactic induct_thm_tac: thm -> string -> int -> tactic
 10524 induct_tac th "x1 ... xn" expects th to have a conclusion of the form
 10525 P v1 ... vn and abbreviates res_inst_tac [("v1","x1"),...,("vn","xn")] th;
 10526 
 10527 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
 10528 
 10529 * HOL: theory Sexp now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part of
 10530 main HOL, but was unused);
 10531 
 10532 * HOL: fewer consts declared as global (e.g. have to refer to
 10533 "Lfp.lfp" instead of "lfp" internally; affects ML packages only);
 10534 
 10535 * HOL: tuned AST representation of nested pairs, avoiding bogus output
 10536 in case of overlap with user translations (e.g. judgements over
 10537 tuples); (note that the underlying logical represenation is still
 10538 bogus);
 10539 
 10540 
 10541 *** ZF ***
 10542 
 10543 * ZF: simplification automatically cancels common terms in arithmetic
 10544 expressions over nat and int;
 10545 
 10546 * ZF: new treatment of nat to minimize type-checking: all operators
 10547 coerce their operands to a natural number using the function natify,
 10548 making the algebraic laws unconditional;
 10549 
 10550 * ZF: as above, for int: operators coerce their operands to an integer
 10551 using the function intify;
 10552 
 10553 * ZF: the integer library now contains many of the usual laws for the
 10554 orderings, including $<=, and monotonicity laws for $+ and $*;
 10555 
 10556 * ZF: new example ZF/ex/NatSum to demonstrate integer arithmetic
 10557 simplification;
 10558 
 10559 * FOL and ZF: AddIffs now available, giving theorems of the form P<->Q
 10560 to the simplifier and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 10561 
 10562 
 10563 *** General ***
 10564 
 10565 * Provers: blast_tac now handles actual object-logic rules as
 10566 assumptions; note that auto_tac uses blast_tac internally as well;
 10567 
 10568 * Provers: new functions rulify/rulify_no_asm: thm -> thm for turning
 10569 outer -->/All/Ball into ==>/!!; qed_spec_mp now uses rulify_no_asm;
 10570 
 10571 * Provers: delrules now handles destruct rules as well (no longer need
 10572 explicit make_elim);
 10573 
 10574 * Provers: Blast_tac now warns of and ignores "weak elimination rules" e.g.
 10575   [| inj ?f;          ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
 10576 use instead the strong form,
 10577   [| inj ?f; ~ ?W ==> ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
 10578 in HOL, FOL and ZF the function cla_make_elim will create such rules
 10579 from destruct-rules;
 10580 
 10581 * Provers: Simplifier.easy_setup provides a fast path to basic
 10582 Simplifier setup for new object-logics;
 10583 
 10584 * Pure: AST translation rules no longer require constant head on LHS;
 10585 
 10586 * Pure: improved name spaces: ambiguous output is qualified; support
 10587 for hiding of names;
 10588 
 10589 * system: smart setup of canonical ML_HOME, ISABELLE_INTERFACE, and
 10590 XSYMBOL_HOME; no longer need to do manual configuration in most
 10591 situations;
 10592 
 10593 * system: compression of ML heaps images may now be controlled via -c
 10594 option of isabelle and isatool usedir (currently only observed by
 10595 Poly/ML);
 10596 
 10597 * system: isatool installfonts may handle X-Symbol fonts as well (very
 10598 useful for remote X11);
 10599 
 10600 * system: provide TAGS file for Isabelle sources;
 10601 
 10602 * ML: infix 'OF' is a version of 'MRS' with more appropriate argument
 10603 order;
 10604 
 10605 * ML: renamed flags Syntax.trace_norm_ast to Syntax.trace_ast; global
 10606 timing flag supersedes proof_timing and Toplevel.trace;
 10607 
 10608 * ML: new combinators |>> and |>>> for incremental transformations
 10609 with secondary results (e.g. certain theory extensions):
 10610 
 10611 * ML: PureThy.add_defs gets additional argument to indicate potential
 10612 overloading (usually false);
 10613 
 10614 * ML: PureThy.add_thms/add_axioms/add_defs now return theorems as
 10615 results;
 10616 
 10617 
 10618 
 10619 New in Isabelle99 (October 1999)
 10620 --------------------------------
 10621 
 10622 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 10623 
 10624 * HOL: The THEN and ELSE parts of conditional expressions (if P then x else y)
 10625 are no longer simplified.  (This allows the simplifier to unfold recursive
 10626 functional programs.)  To restore the old behaviour, declare
 10627 
 10628     Delcongs [if_weak_cong];
 10629 
 10630 * HOL: Removed the obsolete syntax "Compl A"; use -A for set
 10631 complement;
 10632 
 10633 * HOL: the predicate "inj" is now defined by translation to "inj_on";
 10634 
 10635 * HOL/datatype: mutual_induct_tac no longer exists --
 10636   use induct_tac "x_1 ... x_n" instead of mutual_induct_tac ["x_1", ..., "x_n"]
 10637 
 10638 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
 10639 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
 10640 
 10641 * ZF: The con_defs part of an inductive definition may no longer refer
 10642 to constants declared in the same theory;
 10643 
 10644 * HOL, ZF: the function mk_cases, generated by the inductive
 10645 definition package, has lost an argument.  To simplify its result, it
 10646 uses the default simpset instead of a supplied list of theorems.
 10647 
 10648 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
 10649 
 10650 * Simplifier: the type of the infix ML functions
 10651         setSSolver addSSolver setSolver addSolver
 10652 is now  simpset * solver -> simpset  where `solver' is a new abstract type
 10653 for packaging solvers. A solver is created via
 10654         mk_solver: string -> (thm list -> int -> tactic) -> solver
 10655 where the string argument is only a comment.
 10656 
 10657 
 10658 *** Proof tools ***
 10659 
 10660 * Provers/Arith/fast_lin_arith.ML contains a functor for creating a
 10661 decision procedure for linear arithmetic. Currently it is used for
 10662 types `nat', `int', and `real' in HOL (see below); it can, should and
 10663 will be instantiated for other types and logics as well.
 10664 
 10665 * The simplifier now accepts rewrite rules with flexible heads, eg
 10666      hom ?f ==> ?f(?x+?y) = ?f ?x + ?f ?y
 10667   They are applied like any rule with a non-pattern lhs, i.e. by first-order
 10668   matching.
 10669 
 10670 
 10671 *** General ***
 10672 
 10673 * New Isabelle/Isar subsystem provides an alternative to traditional
 10674 tactical theorem proving; together with the ProofGeneral/isar user
 10675 interface it offers an interactive environment for developing human
 10676 readable proof documents (Isar == Intelligible semi-automated
 10677 reasoning); for further information see isatool doc isar-ref,
 10678 src/HOL/Isar_examples and http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Isar/
 10679 
 10680 * improved and simplified presentation of theories: better HTML markup
 10681 (including colors), graph views in several sizes; isatool usedir now
 10682 provides a proper interface for user theories (via -P option); actual
 10683 document preparation based on (PDF)LaTeX is available as well (for
 10684 new-style theories only); see isatool doc system for more information;
 10685 
 10686 * native support for Proof General, both for classic Isabelle and
 10687 Isabelle/Isar;
 10688 
 10689 * ML function thm_deps visualizes dependencies of theorems and lemmas,
 10690 using the graph browser tool;
 10691 
 10692 * Isabelle manuals now also available as PDF;
 10693 
 10694 * theory loader rewritten from scratch (may not be fully
 10695 bug-compatible); old loadpath variable has been replaced by show_path,
 10696 add_path, del_path, reset_path functions; new operations such as
 10697 update_thy, touch_thy, remove_thy, use/update_thy_only (see also
 10698 isatool doc ref);
 10699 
 10700 * improved isatool install: option -k creates KDE application icon,
 10701 option -p DIR installs standalone binaries;
 10702 
 10703 * added ML_PLATFORM setting (useful for cross-platform installations);
 10704 more robust handling of platform specific ML images for SML/NJ;
 10705 
 10706 * the settings environment is now statically scoped, i.e. it is never
 10707 created again in sub-processes invoked from isabelle, isatool, or
 10708 Isabelle;
 10709 
 10710 * path element specification '~~' refers to '$ISABELLE_HOME';
 10711 
 10712 * in locales, the "assumes" and "defines" parts may be omitted if
 10713 empty;
 10714 
 10715 * new print_mode "xsymbols" for extended symbol support (e.g. genuine
 10716 long arrows);
 10717 
 10718 * new print_mode "HTML";
 10719 
 10720 * new flag show_tags controls display of tags of theorems (which are
 10721 basically just comments that may be attached by some tools);
 10722 
 10723 * Isamode 2.6 requires patch to accomodate change of Isabelle font
 10724 mode and goal output format:
 10725 
 10726 diff -r Isamode-2.6/elisp/isa-load.el Isamode/elisp/isa-load.el
 10727 244c244
 10728 <       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-msymbols" logic-name)
 10729 ---
 10730 >       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-misabelle_font" "-msymbols" logic-name)
 10731 diff -r Isabelle-2.6/elisp/isa-proofstate.el Isamode/elisp/isa-proofstate.el
 10732 181c181
 10733 < (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+$"
 10734 ---
 10735 > (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+"
 10736 
 10737 * function bind_thms stores lists of theorems (cf. bind_thm);
 10738 
 10739 * new shorthand tactics ftac, eatac, datac, fatac;
 10740 
 10741 * qed (and friends) now accept "" as result name; in that case the
 10742 theorem is not stored, but proper checks and presentation of the
 10743 result still apply;
 10744 
 10745 * theorem database now also indexes constants "Trueprop", "all",
 10746 "==>", "=="; thus thms_containing, findI etc. may retrieve more rules;
 10747 
 10748 
 10749 *** HOL ***
 10750 
 10751 ** HOL arithmetic **
 10752 
 10753 * There are now decision procedures for linear arithmetic over nat and
 10754 int:
 10755 
 10756 1. arith_tac copes with arbitrary formulae involving `=', `<', `<=',
 10757 `+', `-', `Suc', `min', `max' and numerical constants; other subterms
 10758 are treated as atomic; subformulae not involving type `nat' or `int'
 10759 are ignored; quantified subformulae are ignored unless they are
 10760 positive universal or negative existential. The tactic has to be
 10761 invoked by hand and can be a little bit slow. In particular, the
 10762 running time is exponential in the number of occurrences of `min' and
 10763 `max', and `-' on `nat'.
 10764 
 10765 2. fast_arith_tac is a cut-down version of arith_tac: it only takes
 10766 (negated) (in)equalities among the premises and the conclusion into
 10767 account (i.e. no compound formulae) and does not know about `min' and
 10768 `max', and `-' on `nat'. It is fast and is used automatically by the
 10769 simplifier.
 10770 
 10771 NB: At the moment, these decision procedures do not cope with mixed
 10772 nat/int formulae where the two parts interact, such as `m < n ==>
 10773 int(m) < int(n)'.
 10774 
 10775 * HOL/Numeral provides a generic theory of numerals (encoded
 10776 efficiently as bit strings); setup for types nat/int/real is in place;
 10777 INCOMPATIBILITY: since numeral syntax is now polymorphic, rather than
 10778 int, existing theories and proof scripts may require a few additional
 10779 type constraints;
 10780 
 10781 * integer division and remainder can now be performed on constant
 10782 arguments;
 10783 
 10784 * many properties of integer multiplication, division and remainder
 10785 are now available;
 10786 
 10787 * An interface to the Stanford Validity Checker (SVC) is available through the
 10788 tactic svc_tac.  Propositional tautologies and theorems of linear arithmetic
 10789 are proved automatically.  SVC must be installed separately, and its results
 10790 must be TAKEN ON TRUST (Isabelle does not check the proofs, but tags any
 10791 invocation of the underlying oracle).  For SVC see
 10792   http://verify.stanford.edu/SVC
 10793 
 10794 * IsaMakefile: the HOL-Real target now builds an actual image;
 10795 
 10796 
 10797 ** HOL misc **
 10798 
 10799 * HOL/Real/HahnBanach: the Hahn-Banach theorem for real vector spaces
 10800 (in Isabelle/Isar) -- by Gertrud Bauer;
 10801 
 10802 * HOL/BCV: generic model of bytecode verification, i.e. data-flow
 10803 analysis for assembly languages with subtypes;
 10804 
 10805 * HOL/TLA (Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions): major reorganization
 10806 -- avoids syntactic ambiguities and treats state, transition, and
 10807 temporal levels more uniformly; introduces INCOMPATIBILITIES due to
 10808 changed syntax and (many) tactics;
 10809 
 10810 * HOL/inductive: Now also handles more general introduction rules such
 10811   as "ALL y. (y, x) : r --> y : acc r ==> x : acc r"; monotonicity
 10812   theorems are now maintained within the theory (maintained via the
 10813   "mono" attribute);
 10814 
 10815 * HOL/datatype: Now also handles arbitrarily branching datatypes
 10816   (using function types) such as
 10817 
 10818   datatype 'a tree = Atom 'a | Branch "nat => 'a tree"
 10819 
 10820 * HOL/record: record_simproc (part of the default simpset) takes care
 10821 of selectors applied to updated records; record_split_tac is no longer
 10822 part of the default claset; update_defs may now be removed from the
 10823 simpset in many cases; COMPATIBILITY: old behavior achieved by
 10824 
 10825   claset_ref () := claset() addSWrapper record_split_wrapper;
 10826   Delsimprocs [record_simproc]
 10827 
 10828 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
 10829 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
 10830 
 10831 * HOL/recdef (TFL): 'congs' syntax now expects comma separated list of theorem
 10832 names rather than an ML expression;
 10833 
 10834 * HOL/defer_recdef (TFL): like recdef but the well-founded relation can be
 10835 supplied later.  Program schemes can be defined, such as
 10836     "While B C s = (if B s then While B C (C s) else s)"
 10837 where the well-founded relation can be chosen after B and C have been given.
 10838 
 10839 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
 10840 INCOMPATIBILITY: while [] and infix # syntax is still there, of
 10841 course, ML tools referring to List.list.op # etc. have to be adapted;
 10842 
 10843 * HOL_quantifiers flag superseded by "HOL" print mode, which is
 10844 disabled by default; run isabelle with option -m HOL to get back to
 10845 the original Gordon/HOL-style output;
 10846 
 10847 * HOL/Ord.thy: new bounded quantifier syntax (input only): ALL x<y. P,
 10848 ALL x<=y. P, EX x<y. P, EX x<=y. P;
 10849 
 10850 * HOL basic syntax simplified (more orthogonal): all variants of
 10851 All/Ex now support plain / symbolic / HOL notation; plain syntax for
 10852 Eps operator is provided as well: "SOME x. P[x]";
 10853 
 10854 * HOL/Sum.thy: sum_case has been moved to HOL/Datatype;
 10855 
 10856 * HOL/Univ.thy: infix syntax <*>, <+>, <**>, <+> eliminated and made
 10857 thus available for user theories;
 10858 
 10859 * HOLCF/IOA/Sequents: renamed 'Cons' to 'Consq' to avoid clash with
 10860 HOL/List; hardly an INCOMPATIBILITY since '>>' syntax is used all the
 10861 time;
 10862 
 10863 * HOL: new tactic smp_tac: int -> int -> tactic, which applies spec
 10864 several times and then mp;
 10865

 10869 * the notation <<...>> is now available as a notation for sequences of
 10870 formulas;
 10871 
 10872 * the simplifier is now installed
 10873 
 10874 * the axiom system has been generalized (thanks to Soren Heilmann)
 10875 
 10876 * the classical reasoner now has a default rule database
 10877 
 10878 
 10879 *** ZF ***
 10880 
 10881 * new primrec section allows primitive recursive functions to be given
 10882 directly (as in HOL) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
 10883 
 10884 * new tactics induct_tac and exhaust_tac for induction (or case
 10885 analysis) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
 10886

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