Isabelle NEWS -- history user-relevant changes

 ==============================================

 New in this Isabelle version

 ----------------------------

 *** General ***

 * Document antiquotation @{url} produces markup for the given URL,

 which results in an active hyperlink within the text.

 * Document antiquotation @{file_unchecked} is like @{file}, but does

 not check existence within the file-system.

 * Discontinued legacy_isub_isup, which was a temporary Isabelle/ML

 workaround in Isabelle2013-1.  The prover process no longer accepts

 old identifier syntax with \<^isub> or \<^isup>.

 * Syntax of document antiquotation @{rail} now uses \<newline> instead

 of "\\", to avoid the optical illusion of escaped backslash within

 string token.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Lexical syntax (inner and outer) supports text cartouches with

 arbitrary nesting, and without escapes of quotes etc.  The Prover IDE

 supports input via ` (backquote).

 * The outer syntax categories "text" (for formal comments and document

 markup commands) and "altstring" (for literal fact references) allow

 cartouches as well, in addition to the traditional mix of quotations.

 * More static checking of proof methods, which allows the system to

 form a closure over the concrete syntax.  Method arguments should be

 processed in the original proof context as far as possible, before

 operating on the goal state.  In any case, the standard discipline for

 subgoal-addressing needs to be observed: no subgoals or a subgoal

 number that is out of range produces an empty result sequence, not an

 exception.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for non-conformant tactical

 proof tools.

 * Support for official Standard ML within the Isabelle context.

 Command 'SML_file' reads and evaluates the given Standard ML file.

 Toplevel bindings are stored within the theory context; the initial

 environment is restricted to the Standard ML implementation of

 Poly/ML, without the add-ons of Isabelle/ML.  Commands 'SML_import'

 and 'SML_export' allow to exchange toplevel bindings between the two

 separate environments.  See also ~~/src/Tools/SML/Examples.thy for

 some examples.

 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***

 * Improved syntactic and semantic completion mechanism:

   - No completion for Isar keywords that have already been recognized

     by the prover, e.g. ":" within accepted Isar syntax looses its

     meaning as abbreviation for symbol "\<in>".

   - Completion context provides information about embedded languages

     of Isabelle: keywords are only completed for outer syntax, symbols

     or antiquotations for languages that support them.  E.g. no symbol

     completion for ML source, but within ML strings, comments,

     antiquotations.

   - Support for semantic completion based on failed name space lookup.

     The error produced by the prover contains information about

     alternative names that are accessible in a particular position.

     This may be used with explicit completion (C+b) or implicit

     completion after some delay.

   - Semantic completions may get extended by appending a suffix of

     underscores to an already recognized name, e.g. "foo_" to complete

     "foo" or "foobar" if these are known in the context.  The special

     identifier "__" serves as a wild-card in this respect: it

     completes to the full collection of names from the name space

     (truncated according to the system option "completion_limit").

   - Syntax completion of the editor and semantic completion of the

     prover are merged.  Since the latter requires a full round-trip of

     document update to arrive, the default for option

     jedit_completion_delay has been changed to 0.5s to improve the

     user experience.

   - Option jedit_completion_immediate may now get used with

     jedit_completion_delay > 0, to complete symbol abbreviations

     aggressively while benefiting from combined syntactic and semantic

     completion.

   - Support for simple completion templates (with single

     place-holder), e.g. "`" for text cartouche, or "@{" for

     antiquotation.

   - Support for path completion within the formal text, based on

     file-system content.

   - Improved treatment of completion vs. various forms of jEdit text

     selection (multiple selections, rectangular selections,

     rectangular selection as "tall caret").

   - More reliable treatment of GUI events vs. completion popups: avoid

     loosing keystrokes with slow / remote graphics displays.

 * Integrated spell-checker for document text, comments etc. with

 completion popup and context-menu.  See also "Plugin Options /

 Isabelle / General / Spell Checker" for some system options.

 * Auxiliary files ('ML_file' etc.) are managed by the Prover IDE.

 Open text buffers take precedence over copies within the file-system.

 * Improved support for Isabelle/ML, with jEdit mode "isabelle-ml" for

 auxiliary ML files.

 * Document panel: simplied interaction where every single mouse click

 (re)opens document via desktop environment or as jEdit buffer.

 * More general "Query" panel supersedes "Find" panel, with GUI access

 to commands 'find_theorems' and 'find_consts', as well as print

 operations for the context.  Minor incompatibility in keyboard

 shortcuts etc.: replace action isabelle-find by isabelle-query.

 * Option "jedit_print_mode" (see also "Plugin Options / Isabelle /

 General") allows to specify additional print modes for the prover

 process, without requiring old-fashioned command-line invocation of

 "isabelle jedit -m MODE".

 * New panel: Simplifier trace.  Provides an interactive view of the

 simplification process, enabled by the newly-introduced

 "simplifier_trace" declaration.

 * Support for Navigator plugin (with toolbar buttons).

 * More support for remote files (e.g. http) using standard Java

 networking operations instead of jEdit virtual file-systems.

 * Improved Console/Scala plugin: more uniform scala.Console output,

 more robust treatment of threads and interrupts.

 *** Pure ***

 * Basic constants of Pure use more conventional names and are always

 qualified.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY, but with potentially serious

 consequences, notably for tools in Isabelle/ML.  The following

 renaming needs to be applied:

   ==             ~>  Pure.eq

   ==>            ~>  Pure.imp

   all            ~>  Pure.all

   TYPE           ~>  Pure.type

   dummy_pattern  ~>  Pure.dummy_pattern

 Systematic porting works by using the following theory setup on a

 *previous* Isabelle version to introduce the new name accesses for the

 old constants:

 setup {*

   fn thy => thy

     |> Sign.root_path

     |> Sign.const_alias (Binding.qualify true "Pure" @{binding eq}) "=="

     |> Sign.const_alias (Binding.qualify true "Pure" @{binding imp}) "==>"

     |> Sign.const_alias (Binding.qualify true "Pure" @{binding all}) "all"

     |> Sign.restore_naming thy

 *}

 Thus ML antiquotations like @{const_name Pure.eq} may be used already.

 Later the application is moved to the current Isabelle version, and

 the auxiliary aliases are deleted.

 * Low-level type-class commands 'classes', 'classrel', 'arities' have

 been discontinued to avoid the danger of non-trivial axiomatization

 that is not immediately visible.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use regular

 'instance' with proof.  The required OFCLASS(...) theorem might be

 postulated via 'axiomatization' beforehand, or the proof finished

 trivially if the underlying class definition is made vacuous (without

 any assumptions).  See also Isabelle/ML operations

 Axclass.axiomatize_class, Axclass.axiomatize_classrel,

 Axclass.axiomatize_arity.

 * Attributes "where" and "of" allow an optional context of local

 variables ('for' declaration): these variables become schematic in the

 instantiated theorem.

 * Obsolete attribute "standard" has been discontinued (legacy since

 Isabelle2012).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use explicit 'for' context

 where instantiations with schematic variables are intended (for

 declaration commands like 'lemmas' or attributes like "of").  The

 following temporary definition may help to port old applications:

   attribute_setup standard =

     "Scan.succeed (Thm.rule_attribute (K Drule.export_without_context))"

 * More thorough check of proof context for goal statements and

 attributed fact expressions (concerning background theory, declared

 hyps).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, tools need to observe standard

 context discipline.  See also Assumption.add_assumes and the more

 primitive Thm.assume_hyps.

 * Inner syntax token language allows regular quoted strings "..."

 (only makes sense in practice, if outer syntax is delimited

 differently).

 *** HOL ***

 * Adjustion of INF and SUP operations:

   * Elongated constants INFI and SUPR to INFIMUM and SUPREMUM.

   * Consolidated theorem names containing INFI and SUPR: have INF

   and SUP instead uniformly.

   * More aggressive normalization of expressions involving INF and Inf

   or SUP and Sup.

   * INF_image and SUP_image do not unfold composition.

   * Dropped facts INF_comp, SUP_comp.

   * Default congruence rules strong_INF_cong and strong_SUP_cong,

   with simplifier implication in premises.  Generalize and replace

   former INT_cong, SUP_cong

 INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Swapped orientation of facts image_comp and vimage_comp:

   image_compose ~> image_comp [symmetric]

   image_comp ~> image_comp [symmetric]

   vimage_compose ~> vimage_comp [symmetric]

   vimage_comp ~> vimage_comp [symmetric]

   INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Simplifier: Enhanced solver of preconditions of rewrite rules

   can now deal with conjunctions.

   For help with converting proofs, the old behaviour of the simplifier

   can be restored like this:  declare/using [[simp_legacy_precond]]

   This configuration option will disappear again in the future.

 * HOL-Word:

   * Abandoned fact collection "word_arith_alts", which is a

   duplicate of "word_arith_wis".

   * Dropped first (duplicated) element in fact collections

   "sint_word_ariths", "word_arith_alts", "uint_word_ariths",

   "uint_word_arith_bintrs".

 * Code generator: enforce case of identifiers only for strict

 target language requirements.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Code generator: explicit proof contexts in many ML interfaces.

 INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Code generator: minimize exported identifiers by default.

 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Code generation for SML and OCaml: dropped arcane "no_signatures" option.

 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Simproc "finite_Collect" is no longer enabled by default, due to

 spurious crashes and other surprises.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Moved new (co)datatype package and its dependencies from "HOL-BNF" to "HOL".

   The "bnf", "wrap_free_constructors", "datatype_new", "codatatype",

   "primcorec", and "primcorecursive" commands are now part of "Main".

     required by "fun".

   * BNFs are integrated with the Lifting tool and new-style (co)datatypes

     with Transfer.

       primrec_new ~> primrec

       wrap_free_constructors ~> free_constructors

     INCOMPATIBILITY.

   * The generated constants "xxx_case" and "xxx_rec" have been renamed

     "case_xxx" and "rec_xxx" (e.g., "prod_case" ~> "case_prod").

     INCOMPATIBILITY.

   * The constant "xxx_(un)fold" and related theorems are no longer generated.

     Use "xxx_(co)rec" or define "xxx_(un)fold" manually using "prim(co)rec".

     INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Old datatype package:

   * The generated theorems "xxx.cases" and "xxx.recs" have been renamed

     "xxx.case" and "xxx.rec" (e.g., "sum.cases" -> "sum.case").

     INCOMPATIBILITY.

   * The generated constants "xxx_case", "xxx_rec", and "xxx_size" have been

     renamed "case_xxx", "rec_xxx", and "size_xxx" (e.g., "prod_case" ~>

     "case_prod").

     INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * The types "'a list" and "'a option", their set and map functions, their

   relators, and their selectors are now produced using the new BNF-based

   datatype package.

   Renamed constants:

     Option.set ~> set_option

     Option.map ~> map_option

     option_rel ~> rel_option

   Renamed theorems:

     set_def ~> set_rec[abs_def]

 * Theory reorganizations:

   * Big_Operators.thy ~> Groups_Big.thy and Lattices_Big.thy

 * New internal SAT solver "cdclite" that produces models and proof traces.

   This solver replaces the internal SAT solvers "enumerate" and "dpll".

   Applications that explicitly used one of these two SAT solvers should

   use "cdclite" instead. In addition, "cdclite" is now the default SAT

   solver for the "sat" and "satx" proof methods and corresponding tactics;

   the old default can be restored using

   "declare [[sat_solver = zchaff_with_proofs]]". Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * SMT module:

   * A new version of the SMT module, temporarily called "SMT2", uses SMT-LIB 2

     and supports recent versions of Z3 (e.g., 4.3). The new proof method is

     called "smt2", and the new Z3 is called "z3_new" in Sledgehammer and

     elsewhere.

 * Sledgehammer:

   - New prover "z3_new" with support for Isar proofs

   - New option:

       smt_proofs

   - Renamed options:

       isar_compress ~> compress_isar

       isar_try0 ~> try0_isar

     INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Metis:

   - Removed legacy proof method 'metisFT'. Use 'metis (full_types)' instead.

     INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Try0: Added 'algebra' and 'meson' to the set of proof methods.

 * Command renaming: enriched_type ~> functor. INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * The symbol "\<newline>" may be used within char or string literals

 to represent (Char Nibble0 NibbleA), i.e. ASCII newline.

 * Activation of Z3 now works via "z3_non_commercial" system option

 (without requiring restart), instead of former settings variable

 "Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL".  The option can be edited in Isabelle/jEdit menu

 Plugin Options / Isabelle / General.

 * "declare [[code abort: ...]]" replaces "code_abort ...".

 INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * "declare [[code drop: ...]]" drops all code equations associated

 with the given constants.

 * Abolished slightly odd global lattice interpretation for min/max.

 Fact consolidations:

     min_max.inf_assoc ~> min.assoc

     min_max.le_infI, min_max.inf_greatest ~> min.boundedI

     min_max.le_supI, min_max.sup_least ~> max.boundedI

     min_max.le_inf_iff ~> min.bounded_iff

     min_max.le_sup_iff ~> max.bounded_iff

 For min_max.inf_sup_aci, prefer (one of) min.commute, min.assoc,

 min.left_commute, min.left_idem, max.commute, max.assoc,

 max.left_commute, max.left_idem directly.

 For min_max.inf_sup_ord, prefer (one of) min.cobounded1, min.cobounded2,

 max.cobounded1m max.cobounded2 directly.

 For min_ac or max_ac, prefer more general collection ac_simps.

 INCOMPATBILITY. 

 * Word library: bit representations prefer type bool over type bit.

 INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Theorem disambiguation Inf_le_Sup (on finite sets) ~> Inf_fin_le_Sup_fin.

 INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Code generations are provided for make, fields, extend and truncate

 operations on records.

 * Qualified constant names Wellfounded.acc, Wellfounded.accp.

 INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Fact generalization and consolidation:

     neq_one_mod_two, mod_2_not_eq_zero_eq_one_int ~> not_mod_2_eq_0_eq_1

 INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Purely algebraic definition of even.  Fact generalization and consolidation:

     nat_even_iff_2_dvd, int_even_iff_2_dvd ~> even_iff_2_dvd

     even_zero_(nat|int) ~> even_zero

 INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Abolished neg_numeral.

   * Canonical representation for minus one is "- 1".

   * Canonical representation for other negative numbers is "- (numeral _)".

   * When devising rule sets for number calculation, consider the

     following canonical cases: 0, 1, numeral _, - 1, - numeral _.

   * HOLogic.dest_number also recognizes numerals in non-canonical forms

     like "numeral One", "- numeral One", "- 0" and even "- ... - _".

   * Syntax for negative numerals is mere input syntax.

 INCOMPATBILITY.

 * Elimination of fact duplicates:

     equals_zero_I ~> minus_unique

     diff_eq_0_iff_eq ~> right_minus_eq

     nat_infinite ~> infinite_UNIV_nat

     int_infinite ~> infinite_UNIV_int

 INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Fact name consolidation:

     diff_def, diff_minus, ab_diff_minus ~> diff_conv_add_uminus

     minus_le_self_iff ~> neg_less_eq_nonneg

     le_minus_self_iff ~> less_eq_neg_nonpos

     neg_less_nonneg ~> neg_less_pos

     less_minus_self_iff ~> less_neg_neg [simp]

 INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * More simplification rules on unary and binary minus:

 add_diff_cancel, add_diff_cancel_left, add_le_same_cancel1,

 add_le_same_cancel2, add_less_same_cancel1, add_less_same_cancel2,

 add_minus_cancel, diff_add_cancel, le_add_same_cancel1,

 le_add_same_cancel2, less_add_same_cancel1, less_add_same_cancel2,

 minus_add_cancel, uminus_add_conv_diff.  These correspondingly

 have been taken away from fact collections algebra_simps and

 field_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

 To restore proofs, the following patterns are helpful:

 a) Arbitrary failing proof not involving "diff_def":

 Consider simplification with algebra_simps or field_simps.

 b) Lifting rules from addition to subtraction:

 Try with "using <rule for addition> of [... "- _" ...]" by simp".

 c) Simplification with "diff_def": just drop "diff_def".

 Consider simplification with algebra_simps or field_simps;

 or the brute way with

 "simp add: diff_conv_add_uminus del: add_uminus_conv_diff".

 * SUP and INF generalized to conditionally_complete_lattice

 * Theory Lubs moved HOL image to HOL-Library. It is replaced by

 Conditionally_Complete_Lattices.   INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Introduce bdd_above and bdd_below in Conditionally_Complete_Lattices, use them

 instead of explicitly stating boundedness of sets.

 * ccpo.admissible quantifies only over non-empty chains to allow

 more syntax-directed proof rules; the case of the empty chain

 shows up as additional case in fixpoint induction proofs.

 INCOMPATIBILITY

 * Removed and renamed theorems in Series:

   summable_le         ~>  suminf_le

   suminf_le           ~>  suminf_le_const

   suminf_gt_zero      ~>  suminf_pos

   suminf_gt_zero_iff  ~>  suminf_pos_iff

   summable_sumr_LIMSEQ_suminf  ~>  summable_LIMSEQ

   suminf_0_le         ~>  suminf_nonneg [rotate]

   pos_summable        ~>  summableI_nonneg_bounded

   ratio_test          ~>  summable_ratio_test

   removed series_zero, replaced by sums_finite

   removed auxiliary lemmas:

     sumr_offset, sumr_offset2, sumr_offset3, sumr_offset4, sumr_group,

     half, le_Suc_ex_iff, lemma_realpow_diff_sumr, real_setsum_nat_ivl_bounded,

     summable_le2, ratio_test_lemma2, sumr_minus_one_realpow_zerom,

     sumr_one_lb_realpow_zero, summable_convergent_sumr_iff, sumr_diff_mult_const

 INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Replace (F)DERIV syntax by has_derivative:

   - "(f has_derivative f') (at x within s)" replaces "FDERIV f x : s : f'"

   - "(f has_field_derivative f') (at x within s)" replaces "DERIV f x : s : f'"

   - "f differentiable at x within s" replaces "_ differentiable _ in _" syntax

   - removed constant isDiff

   - "DERIV f x : f'" and "FDERIV f x : f'" syntax is only available as input

     syntax.

   - "DERIV f x : s : f'" and "FDERIV f x : s : f'" syntax removed

   - Renamed FDERIV_... lemmas to has_derivative_...

   - renamed deriv (the syntax constant used for "DERIV _ _ :> _") to DERIV

   - removed DERIV_intros, has_derivative_eq_intros

   - introduced derivative_intros and deriative_eq_intros which includes now rules for

     DERIV, has_derivative and has_vector_derivative.

   - Other renamings:

     differentiable_def        ~>  real_differentiable_def

     differentiableE           ~>  real_differentiableE

     fderiv_def                ~>  has_derivative_at

     field_fderiv_def          ~>  field_has_derivative_at

     isDiff_der                ~>  differentiable_def

     deriv_fderiv              ~>  has_field_derivative_def

     deriv_def                 ~>  DERIV_def

 INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Include more theorems in continuous_intros. Remove the continuous_on_intros,

   isCont_intros collections, these facts are now in continuous_intros.

 * Theorems about complex numbers are now stated only using Re and Im, the Complex

   constructor is not used anymore. It is possible to use primcorec to defined the

   behaviour of a complex-valued function.

   Removed theorems about the Complex constructor from the simpset, they are

   available as the lemma collection legacy_Complex_simps. This especially

   removes

     i_complex_of_real: "ii * complex_of_real r = Complex 0 r".

   Instead the reverse direction is supported with

     Complex_eq: "Complex a b = a + \<i> * b"

   Moved csqrt from Fundamental_Algebra_Theorem to Complex.

   Renamings:

     Re/Im                  ~>  complex.sel

     complex_Re/Im_zero     ~>  zero_complex.sel

     complex_Re/Im_add      ~>  plus_complex.sel

     complex_Re/Im_minus    ~>  uminus_complex.sel

     complex_Re/Im_diff     ~>  minus_complex.sel

     complex_Re/Im_one      ~>  one_complex.sel

     complex_Re/Im_mult     ~>  times_complex.sel

     complex_Re/Im_inverse  ~>  inverse_complex.sel

     complex_Re/Im_scaleR   ~>  scaleR_complex.sel

     complex_Re/Im_i        ~>  ii.sel

     complex_Re/Im_cnj      ~>  cnj.sel

     Re/Im_cis              ~>  cis.sel

     complex_divide_def   ~>  divide_complex_def

     complex_norm_def     ~>  norm_complex_def

     cmod_def             ~>  norm_complex_de

   Removed theorems:

     complex_zero_def

     complex_add_def

     complex_minus_def

     complex_diff_def

     complex_one_def

     complex_mult_def

     complex_inverse_def

     complex_scaleR_def

 * Removed solvers remote_cvc3 and remote_z3. Use cvc3 and z3 instead.

 * Nitpick:

   - Fixed soundness bug whereby mutually recursive datatypes could take

     infinite values.

   - Fixed soundness bug with low-level number functions such as "Abs_Integ" and

     "Rep_Integ".

   - Removed "std" option.

   - Renamed "show_datatypes" to "show_types" and "hide_datatypes" to

     "hide_types".

 * HOL-Multivariate_Analysis:

   - type class ordered_real_vector for ordered vector spaces

   - changed order of ordered_euclidean_space to be compatible with

     pointwise ordering on products. Therefore instance of

     conditionally_complete_lattice and ordered_real_vector.

     INCOMPATIBILITY: use box instead of greaterThanLessThan or

     explicit set-comprehensions with eucl_less for other (half-) open

     intervals.

   - renamed theorems:

     derivative_linear         ~>  has_derivative_bounded_linear

     derivative_is_linear      ~>  has_derivative_linear

     bounded_linear_imp_linear ~>  bounded_linear.linear

 *** Scala ***

 * The signature and semantics of Document.Snapshot.cumulate_markup /

 select_markup have been clarified.  Markup is now traversed in the

 order of reports given by the prover: later markup is usually more

 specific and may override results accumulated so far.  The elements

 guard is mandatory and checked precisely.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.

 *** ML ***

 * Moved ML_Compiler.exn_trace and other operations on exceptions to

 structure Runtime.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Discontinued old Toplevel.debug in favour of system option

 "ML_exception_trace", which may be also declared within the context via

 "declare [[ML_exception_trace = true]]".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Renamed configuration option "ML_trace" to "ML_source_trace". Minor

 INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Configuration option "ML_print_depth" controls the pretty-printing

 depth of the ML compiler within the context.  The old print_depth in

 ML is still available as default_print_depth, but rarely used.  Minor

 INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Proper context discipline for read_instantiate and instantiate_tac:

 variables that are meant to become schematic need to be given as

 fixed, and are generalized by the explicit context of local variables.

 This corresponds to Isar attributes "where" and "of" with 'for'

 declaration.  INCOMPATIBILITY, also due to potential change of indices

 of schematic variables.

 * Toplevel function "use" refers to raw ML bootstrap environment,

 without Isar context nor antiquotations.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

 Note that 'ML_file' is the canonical command to load ML files into the

 formal context.

 * Proper context for basic Simplifier operations: rewrite_rule,

 rewrite_goals_rule, rewrite_goals_tac etc. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to

 pass runtime Proof.context (and ensure that the simplified entity

 actually belongs to it).

 * Subtle change of semantics of Thm.eq_thm: theory stamps are not

 compared (according to Thm.thm_ord), but assumed to be covered by the

 current background theory.  Thus equivalent data produced in different

 branches of the theory graph usually coincides (e.g. relevant for

 theory merge).  Note that the softer Thm.eq_thm_prop is often more

 appropriate than Thm.eq_thm.

 * Simplified programming interface to define ML antiquotations, see

 structure ML_Antiquotation.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * ML antiquotation @{here} refers to its source position, which is

 occasionally useful for experimentation and diagnostic purposes.

 * ML antiquotation @{path} produces a Path.T value, similarly to

 Path.explode, but with compile-time check against the file-system and

 some PIDE markup.  Note that unlike theory source, ML does not have a

 well-defined master directory, so an absolute symbolic path

 specification is usually required, e.g. "~~/src/HOL".

 * ML antiquotation @{print} inlines a function to print an arbitrary

 ML value, which is occasionally useful for diagnostic or demonstration

 purposes.

 *** System ***

 * Session ROOT specifications require explicit 'document_files' for

 robust dependencies on LaTeX sources.  Only these explicitly given

 files are copied to the document output directory, before document

 processing is started.

 * Simplified "isabelle display" tool.  Settings variables DVI_VIEWER

 and PDF_VIEWER now refer to the actual programs, not shell

 command-lines.  Discontinued option -c: invocation may be asynchronous

 via desktop environment, without any special precautions.  Potential

 INCOMPATIBILITY with ambitious private settings.

 * Improved 'display_drafts' concerning desktop integration and

 repeated invocation in PIDE front-end: re-use single file

 $ISABELLE_HOME_USER/tmp/drafts.pdf and corresponding views.

 * The raw Isabelle process executable has been renamed from

 "isabelle-process" to "isabelle_process", which conforms to common

 shell naming conventions, and allows to define a shell function within

 the Isabelle environment to avoid dynamic path lookup.  Rare

 incompatibility for old tools that do not use the $ISABELLE_PROCESS

 settings variable yet.

 * Retired the now unused Isabelle tool "wwwfind". Similar functionality

 may be integrated into PIDE/jEdit at a later point.

 New in Isabelle2013-2 (December 2013)

 -------------------------------------

 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***

 * More robust editing of running commands with internal forks,

 e.g. non-terminating 'by' steps.

 * More relaxed Sledgehammer panel: avoid repeated application of query

 after edits surrounding the command location.

 * More status information about commands that are interrupted

 accidentally (via physical event or Poly/ML runtime system signal,

 e.g. out-of-memory).

 *** System ***

 * More robust termination of external processes managed by

 Isabelle/ML: support cancellation of tasks within the range of

 milliseconds, as required for PIDE document editing with automatically

 tried tools (e.g. Sledgehammer).

 * Reactivated Isabelle/Scala kill command for external processes on

 Mac OS X, which was accidentally broken in Isabelle2013-1 due to a

 workaround for some Debian/Ubuntu Linux versions from 2013.

 New in Isabelle2013-1 (November 2013)

 -------------------------------------

 *** General ***

 * Discontinued obsolete 'uses' within theory header.  Note that

 commands like 'ML_file' work without separate declaration of file

 dependencies.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Discontinued redundant 'use' command, which was superseded by

 'ML_file' in Isabelle2013.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Simplified subscripts within identifiers, using plain \<^sub>

 instead of the second copy \<^isub> and \<^isup>.  Superscripts are

 only for literal tokens within notation; explicit mixfix annotations

 for consts or fixed variables may be used as fall-back for unusual

 names.  Obsolete \<twosuperior> has been expanded to \<^sup>2 in

 Isabelle/HOL.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "isabelle update_sub_sup" to

 standardize symbols as a starting point for further manual cleanup.

 The ML reference variable "legacy_isub_isup" may be set as temporary

 workaround, to make the prover accept a subset of the old identifier

 syntax.

 * Document antiquotations: term style "isub" has been renamed to

 "sub".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Uniform management of "quick_and_dirty" as system option (see also

 "isabelle options"), configuration option within the context (see also

 Config.get in Isabelle/ML), and attribute in Isabelle/Isar.  Minor

 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use more official Isabelle means to access

 quick_and_dirty, instead of historical poking into mutable reference.

 * Renamed command 'print_configs' to 'print_options'.  Minor

 INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Proper diagnostic command 'print_state'.  Old 'pr' (with its

 implicit change of some global references) is retained for now as

 control command, e.g. for ProofGeneral 3.7.x.

 * Discontinued 'print_drafts' command with its old-fashioned PS output

 and Unix command-line print spooling.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: use

 'display_drafts' instead and print via the regular document viewer.

 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual,

 eliminated old "ref" manual.

 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***

 * New manual "jedit" for Isabelle/jEdit, see isabelle doc or

 Documentation panel.

 * Dockable window "Documentation" provides access to Isabelle

 documentation.

 * Dockable window "Find" provides query operations for formal entities

 (GUI front-end to 'find_theorems' command).

 * Dockable window "Sledgehammer" manages asynchronous / parallel

 sledgehammer runs over existing document sources, independently of

 normal editing and checking process.

 * Dockable window "Timing" provides an overview of relevant command

 timing information, depending on option jedit_timing_threshold.  The

 same timing information is shown in the extended tooltip of the

 command keyword, when hovering the mouse over it while the CONTROL or

 COMMAND modifier is pressed.

 * Improved dockable window "Theories": Continuous checking of proof

 document (visible and required parts) may be controlled explicitly,

 using check box or shortcut "C+e ENTER".  Individual theory nodes may

 be marked explicitly as required and checked in full, using check box

 or shortcut "C+e SPACE".

 * Improved completion mechanism, which is now managed by the

 Isabelle/jEdit plugin instead of SideKick.  Refined table of Isabelle

 symbol abbreviations (see $ISABELLE_HOME/etc/symbols).

 * Standard jEdit keyboard shortcut C+b complete-word is remapped to

 isabelle.complete for explicit completion in Isabelle sources.

 INCOMPATIBILITY wrt. jEdit defaults, may have to invent new shortcuts

 to resolve conflict.

 * Improved support of various "minor modes" for Isabelle NEWS,

 options, session ROOT etc., with completion and SideKick tree view.

 * Strictly monotonic document update, without premature cancellation of

 running transactions that are still needed: avoid reset/restart of

 such command executions while editing.

 * Support for asynchronous print functions, as overlay to existing

 document content.

 * Support for automatic tools in HOL, which try to prove or disprove

 toplevel theorem statements.

 * Action isabelle.reset-font-size resets main text area font size

 according to Isabelle/Scala plugin option "jedit_font_reset_size" (see

 also "Plugin Options / Isabelle / General").  It can be bound to some

 keyboard shortcut by the user (e.g. C+0 and/or C+NUMPAD0).

 * File specifications in jEdit (e.g. file browser) may refer to

 $ISABELLE_HOME and $ISABELLE_HOME_USER on all platforms.  Discontinued

 obsolete $ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS variable.

 * Improved support for Linux look-and-feel "GTK+", see also "Utilities

 / Global Options / Appearance".

 * Improved support of native Mac OS X functionality via "MacOSX"

 plugin, which is now enabled by default.

 *** Pure ***

 * Commands 'interpretation' and 'sublocale' are now target-sensitive.

 In particular, 'interpretation' allows for non-persistent

 interpretation within "context ... begin ... end" blocks offering a

 light-weight alternative to 'sublocale'.  See "isar-ref" manual for

 details.

 * Improved locales diagnostic command 'print_dependencies'.

 * Discontinued obsolete 'axioms' command, which has been marked as

 legacy since Isabelle2009-2.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use 'axiomatization'

 instead, while observing its uniform scope for polymorphism.

 * Discontinued empty name bindings in 'axiomatization'.

 INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * System option "proofs" has been discontinued.  Instead the global

 state of Proofterm.proofs is persistently compiled into logic images

 as required, notably HOL-Proofs.  Users no longer need to change

 Proofterm.proofs dynamically.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Syntax translation functions (print_translation etc.) always depend

 on Proof.context.  Discontinued former "(advanced)" option -- this is

 now the default.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Former global reference trace_unify_fail is now available as

 configuration option "unify_trace_failure" (global context only).

 * SELECT_GOAL now retains the syntactic context of the overall goal

 state (schematic variables etc.).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare

 situations.

 *** HOL ***

 * Stronger precedence of syntax for big intersection and union on

 sets, in accordance with corresponding lattice operations.

 INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Notation "{p:A. P}" now allows tuple patterns as well.

 * Nested case expressions are now translated in a separate check phase

 rather than during parsing. The data for case combinators is separated

 from the datatype package. The declaration attribute

 "case_translation" can be used to register new case combinators:

   declare [[case_translation case_combinator constructor1 ... constructorN]]

 * Code generator:

   - 'code_printing' unifies 'code_const' / 'code_type' / 'code_class' /

     'code_instance'.

   - 'code_identifier' declares name hints for arbitrary identifiers in

     generated code, subsuming 'code_modulename'.

 See the isar-ref manual for syntax diagrams, and the HOL theories for

 examples.

 * Attibute 'code': 'code' now declares concrete and abstract code

 equations uniformly.  Use explicit 'code equation' and 'code abstract'

 to distinguish both when desired.

 * Discontinued theories Code_Integer and Efficient_Nat by a more

 fine-grain stack of theories Code_Target_Int, Code_Binary_Nat,

 Code_Target_Nat and Code_Target_Numeral.  See the tutorial on code

 generation for details.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Numeric types are mapped by default to target language numerals:

 natural (replaces former code_numeral) and integer (replaces former

 code_int).  Conversions are available as integer_of_natural /

 natural_of_integer / integer_of_nat / nat_of_integer (in HOL) and

 Code_Numeral.integer_of_natural / Code_Numeral.natural_of_integer (in

 ML).  INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Function package: For mutually recursive functions f and g, separate

 cases rules f.cases and g.cases are generated instead of unusable

 f_g.cases which exposed internal sum types. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,

 in the case that the unusable rule was used nevertheless.

 * Function package: For each function f, new rules f.elims are

 generated, which eliminate equalities of the form "f x = t".

 * New command 'fun_cases' derives ad-hoc elimination rules for

 function equations as simplified instances of f.elims, analogous to

 inductive_cases.  See ~~/src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy for some examples.

 * Lifting:

   - parametrized correspondence relations are now supported:

     + parametricity theorems for the raw term can be specified in

       the command lift_definition, which allow us to generate stronger

       transfer rules

     + setup_lifting generates stronger transfer rules if parametric

       correspondence relation can be generated

     + various new properties of the relator must be specified to support

       parametricity

     + parametricity theorem for the Quotient relation can be specified

   - setup_lifting generates domain rules for the Transfer package

   - stronger reflexivity prover of respectfulness theorems for type

     copies

   - ===> and --> are now local. The symbols can be introduced

     by interpreting the locale lifting_syntax (typically in an

     anonymous context)

   - Lifting/Transfer relevant parts of Library/Quotient_* are now in

     Main. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY

   - new commands for restoring and deleting Lifting/Transfer context:

     lifting_forget, lifting_update

   - the command print_quotmaps was renamed to print_quot_maps.

     INCOMPATIBILITY

 * Transfer:

   - better support for domains in Transfer: replace Domainp T

     by the actual invariant in a transferred goal

   - transfer rules can have as assumptions other transfer rules

   - Experimental support for transferring from the raw level to the

     abstract level: Transfer.transferred attribute

   - Attribute version of the transfer method: untransferred attribute

 * Reification and reflection:

   - Reification is now directly available in HOL-Main in structure

     "Reification".

   - Reflection now handles multiple lists with variables also.

   - The whole reflection stack has been decomposed into conversions.

 INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Revised devices for recursive definitions over finite sets:

   - Only one fundamental fold combinator on finite set remains:

     Finite_Set.fold :: ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b

     This is now identity on infinite sets.

   - Locales ("mini packages") for fundamental definitions with

     Finite_Set.fold: folding, folding_idem.

   - Locales comm_monoid_set, semilattice_order_set and

     semilattice_neutr_order_set for big operators on sets.

     See theory Big_Operators for canonical examples.

     Note that foundational constants comm_monoid_set.F and

     semilattice_set.F correspond to former combinators fold_image

     and fold1 respectively.  These are now gone.  You may use

     those foundational constants as substitutes, but it is

     preferable to interpret the above locales accordingly.

   - Dropped class ab_semigroup_idem_mult (special case of lattice,

     no longer needed in connection with Finite_Set.fold etc.)

   - Fact renames:

       card.union_inter ~> card_Un_Int [symmetric]

       card.union_disjoint ~> card_Un_disjoint

 INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Locale hierarchy for abstract orderings and (semi)lattices.

 * Complete_Partial_Order.admissible is defined outside the type class

 ccpo, but with mandatory prefix ccpo. Admissibility theorems lose the

 class predicate assumption or sort constraint when possible.

 INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Introduce type class "conditionally_complete_lattice": Like a

 complete lattice but does not assume the existence of the top and

 bottom elements.  Allows to generalize some lemmas about reals and

 extended reals.  Removed SupInf and replaced it by the instantiation

 of conditionally_complete_lattice for real. Renamed lemmas about

 conditionally-complete lattice from Sup_... to cSup_... and from

 Inf_...  to cInf_... to avoid hidding of similar complete lattice

 lemmas.

 * Introduce type class linear_continuum as combination of

 conditionally-complete lattices and inner dense linorders which have

 more than one element.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Introduced type classes order_top and order_bot. The old classes top

 and bot only contain the syntax without assumptions.  INCOMPATIBILITY:

 Rename bot -> order_bot, top -> order_top

 * Introduce type classes "no_top" and "no_bot" for orderings without

 top and bottom elements.

 * Split dense_linorder into inner_dense_order and no_top, no_bot.

 * Complex_Main: Unify and move various concepts from

 HOL-Multivariate_Analysis to HOL-Complex_Main.

  - Introduce type class (lin)order_topology and

    linear_continuum_topology.  Allows to generalize theorems about

    limits and order.  Instances are reals and extended reals.

  - continuous and continuos_on from Multivariate_Analysis:

    "continuous" is the continuity of a function at a filter.  "isCont"

    is now an abbrevitation: "isCont x f == continuous (at _) f".

    Generalized continuity lemmas from isCont to continuous on an

    arbitrary filter.

  - compact from Multivariate_Analysis. Use Bolzano's lemma to prove

    compactness of closed intervals on reals. Continuous functions

    attain infimum and supremum on compact sets. The inverse of a

    continuous function is continuous, when the function is continuous

    on a compact set.

  - connected from Multivariate_Analysis. Use it to prove the

    intermediate value theorem. Show connectedness of intervals on

    linear_continuum_topology).

  - first_countable_topology from Multivariate_Analysis. Is used to

    show equivalence of properties on the neighbourhood filter of x and

    on all sequences converging to x.

  - FDERIV: Definition of has_derivative moved to Deriv.thy. Moved

    theorems from Library/FDERIV.thy to Deriv.thy and base the

    definition of DERIV on FDERIV. Add variants of DERIV and FDERIV

    which are restricted to sets, i.e. to represent derivatives from

    left or right.

  - Removed the within-filter. It is replaced by the principal filter:

      F within X = inf F (principal X)

  - Introduce "at x within U" as a single constant, "at x" is now an

    abbreviation for "at x within UNIV"

  - Introduce named theorem collections tendsto_intros,

    continuous_intros, continuous_on_intros and FDERIV_intros. Theorems

    in tendsto_intros (or FDERIV_intros) are also available as

    tendsto_eq_intros (or FDERIV_eq_intros) where the right-hand side

    is replaced by a congruence rule. This allows to apply them as

    intro rules and then proving equivalence by the simplifier.

  - Restructured theories in HOL-Complex_Main:

    + Moved RealDef and RComplete into Real

    + Introduced Topological_Spaces and moved theorems about

      topological spaces, filters, limits and continuity to it

    + Renamed RealVector to Real_Vector_Spaces

    + Split Lim, SEQ, Series into Topological_Spaces,

      Real_Vector_Spaces, and Limits

    + Moved Ln and Log to Transcendental

    + Moved theorems about continuity from Deriv to Topological_Spaces

  - Remove various auxiliary lemmas.

 INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Nitpick:

   - Added option "spy".

   - Reduce incidence of "too high arity" errors.

 * Sledgehammer:

   - Renamed option:

       isar_shrink ~> isar_compress

     INCOMPATIBILITY.

   - Added options "isar_try0", "spy".

   - Better support for "isar_proofs".

   - MaSh has been fined-tuned and now runs as a local server.

 * Improved support for ad hoc overloading of constants (see also

 isar-ref manual and ~~/src/HOL/ex/Adhoc_Overloading_Examples.thy).

 * Library/Polynomial.thy:

   - Use lifting for primitive definitions.

   - Explicit conversions from and to lists of coefficients, used for

     generated code.

   - Replaced recursion operator poly_rec by fold_coeffs.

   - Prefer pre-existing gcd operation for gcd.

   - Fact renames:

     poly_eq_iff ~> poly_eq_poly_eq_iff

     poly_ext ~> poly_eqI

     expand_poly_eq ~> poly_eq_iff

 IMCOMPATIBILITY.

 * New Library/Simps_Case_Conv.thy: Provides commands simps_of_case and

 case_of_simps to convert function definitions between a list of

 equations with patterns on the lhs and a single equation with case

 expressions on the rhs. See also Ex/Simps_Case_Conv_Examples.thy.

 * New Library/FSet.thy: type of finite sets defined as a subtype of

 sets defined by Lifting/Transfer.

 * Discontinued theory src/HOL/Library/Eval_Witness.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Consolidation of library theories on product orders:

     Product_Lattice ~> Product_Order -- pointwise order on products

     Product_ord ~> Product_Lexorder -- lexicographic order on products

 INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Imperative-HOL: The MREC combinator is considered legacy and no

 longer included by default. INCOMPATIBILITY, use partial_function

 instead, or import theory Legacy_Mrec as a fallback.

 * HOL-Algebra: Discontinued theories ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/abstract and

 ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/poly.  Existing theories should be based on

 ~~/src/HOL/Library/Polynomial instead.  The latter provides

 integration with HOL's type classes for rings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * HOL-BNF:

   - Various improvements to BNF-based (co)datatype package, including

     new commands "primrec_new", "primcorec", and

     "datatype_new_compat", as well as documentation. See

     "datatypes.pdf" for details.

   - New "coinduction" method to avoid some boilerplate (compared to

     coinduct).

   - Renamed keywords:

     data ~> datatype_new

     codata ~> codatatype

     bnf_def ~> bnf

   - Renamed many generated theorems, including

     discs ~> disc

     map_comp' ~> map_comp

     map_id' ~> map_id

     sels ~> sel

     set_map' ~> set_map

     sets ~> set

 IMCOMPATIBILITY.

 *** ML ***

 * Spec_Check is a Quickcheck tool for Isabelle/ML.  The ML function

 "check_property" allows to check specifications of the form "ALL x y

 z. prop x y z".  See also ~~/src/Tools/Spec_Check/ with its

 Examples.thy in particular.

 * Improved printing of exception trace in Poly/ML 5.5.1, with regular

 tracing output in the command transaction context instead of physical

 stdout.  See also Toplevel.debug, Toplevel.debugging and

 ML_Compiler.exn_trace.

 * ML type "theory" is now immutable, without any special treatment of

 drafts or linear updates (which could lead to "stale theory" errors in

 the past).  Discontinued obsolete operations like Theory.copy,

 Theory.checkpoint, and the auxiliary type theory_ref.  Minor

 INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * More uniform naming of goal functions for skipped proofs:

     Skip_Proof.prove  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry

     Skip_Proof.prove_global  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry_global

 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Simplifier tactics and tools use proper Proof.context instead of

 historic type simpset.  Old-style declarations like addsimps,

 addsimprocs etc. operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type simpset

 retains its use as snapshot of the main Simplifier context, using

 simpset_of and put_simpset on Proof.context.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- port

 old tools by making them depend on (ctxt : Proof.context) instead of

 (ss : simpset), then turn (simpset_of ctxt) into ctxt.

 * Modifiers for classical wrappers (e.g. addWrapper, delWrapper)

 operate on Proof.context instead of claset, for uniformity with addIs,

 addEs, addDs etc. Note that claset_of and put_claset allow to manage

 clasets separately from the context.

 * Discontinued obsolete ML antiquotations @{claset} and @{simpset}.

 INCOMPATIBILITY, use @{context} instead.

 * Antiquotation @{theory_context A} is similar to @{theory A}, but

 presents the result as initial Proof.context.

 *** System ***

 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle usedir, mkdir, make -- superseded by

 "isabelle build" in Isabelle2013.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle-process options -f and -u (former

 administrative aliases of option -e).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle print tool, and PRINT_COMMAND

 settings variable.

 * Discontinued ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT settings variable and historic

 document formats: dvi.gz, ps, ps.gz -- the default document format is

 always pdf.

 * Isabelle settings variable ISABELLE_BUILD_JAVA_OPTIONS allows to

 specify global resources of the JVM process run by isabelle build.

 * Toplevel executable $ISABELLE_HOME/bin/isabelle_scala_script allows

 to run Isabelle/Scala source files as standalone programs.

 * Improved "isabelle keywords" tool (for old-style ProofGeneral

 keyword tables): use Isabelle/Scala operations, which inspect outer

 syntax without requiring to build sessions first.

 * Sessions may be organized via 'chapter' specifications in the ROOT

 file, which determines a two-level hierarchy of browser info.  The old

 tree-like organization via implicit sub-session relation (with its

 tendency towards erratic fluctuation of URLs) has been discontinued.

 The default chapter is called "Unsorted".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY

 for HTML presentation of theories.

 New in Isabelle2013 (February 2013)

 -----------------------------------

 *** General ***

 * Theorem status about oracles and unfinished/failed future proofs is

 no longer printed by default, since it is incompatible with

 incremental / parallel checking of the persistent document model.  ML

 function Thm.peek_status may be used to inspect a snapshot of the

 ongoing evaluation process.  Note that in batch mode --- notably

 isabelle build --- the system ensures that future proofs of all

 accessible theorems in the theory context are finished (as before).

 * Configuration option show_markup controls direct inlining of markup

 into the printed representation of formal entities --- notably type

 and sort constraints.  This enables Prover IDE users to retrieve that

 information via tooltips in the output window, for example.

 * Command 'ML_file' evaluates ML text from a file directly within the

 theory, without any predeclaration via 'uses' in the theory header.

 * Old command 'use' command and corresponding keyword 'uses' in the

 theory header are legacy features and will be discontinued soon.

 Tools that load their additional source files may imitate the

 'ML_file' implementation, such that the system can take care of

 dependencies properly.

 * Discontinued obsolete method fastsimp / tactic fast_simp_tac, which

 is called fastforce / fast_force_tac already since Isabelle2011-1.

 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual, reduced

 remaining material in old "ref" manual.

 * Improved support for auxiliary contexts that indicate block structure

 for specifications.  Nesting of "context fixes ... context assumes ..."

 and "class ... context ...".

 * Attribute "consumes" allows a negative value as well, which is

 interpreted relatively to the total number of premises of the rule in

 the target context.  This form of declaration is stable when exported

 from a nested 'context' with additional assumptions.  It is the

 preferred form for definitional packages, notably cases/rules produced

 in HOL/inductive and HOL/function.

 * More informative error messages for Isar proof commands involving

 lazy enumerations (method applications etc.).

 * Refined 'help' command to retrieve outer syntax commands according

 to name patterns (with clickable results).

 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***

 * Parallel terminal proofs ('by') are enabled by default, likewise

 proofs that are built into packages like 'datatype', 'function'.  This

 allows to "run ahead" checking the theory specifications on the

 surface, while the prover is still crunching on internal

 justifications.  Unfinished / cancelled proofs are restarted as

 required to complete full proof checking eventually.

 * Improved output panel with tooltips, hyperlinks etc. based on the

 same Rich_Text_Area as regular Isabelle/jEdit buffers.  Activation of

 tooltips leads to some window that supports the same recursively,

 which can lead to stacks of tooltips as the semantic document content

 is explored.  ESCAPE closes the whole stack, individual windows may be

 closed separately, or detached to become independent jEdit dockables.

 * Improved support for commands that produce graph output: the text

 message contains a clickable area to open a new instance of the graph

 browser on demand.

 * More robust incremental parsing of outer syntax (partial comments,

 malformed symbols).  Changing the balance of open/close quotes and

 comment delimiters works more conveniently with unfinished situations

 that frequently occur in user interaction.

 * More efficient painting and improved reactivity when editing large

 files.  More scalable management of formal document content.

 * Smarter handling of tracing messages: prover process pauses after

 certain number of messages per command transaction, with some user

 dialog to stop or continue.  This avoids swamping the front-end with

 potentially infinite message streams.

 * More plugin options and preferences, based on Isabelle/Scala.  The

 jEdit plugin option panel provides access to some Isabelle/Scala

 options, including tuning parameters for editor reactivity and color

 schemes.

 * Dockable window "Symbols" provides some editing support for Isabelle

 symbols.

 * Dockable window "Monitor" shows ML runtime statistics.  Note that

 continuous display of the chart slows down the system.

 * Improved editing support for control styles: subscript, superscript,

 bold, reset of style -- operating on single symbols or text

 selections.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C+e DOWN/UP/RIGHT/LEFT.

 * Actions isabelle.increase-font-size and isabelle.decrease-font-size

 adjust the main text area font size, and its derivatives for output,

 tooltips etc.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C-PLUS and C-MINUS, which often

 need to be adapted to local keyboard layouts.

 * More reactive completion popup by default: use \t (TAB) instead of

 \n (NEWLINE) to minimize intrusion into regular flow of editing.  See

 also "Plugin Options / SideKick / General / Code Completion Options".

 * Implicit check and build dialog of the specified logic session

 image.  For example, HOL, HOLCF, HOL-Nominal can be produced on

 demand, without bundling big platform-dependent heap images in the

 Isabelle distribution.

 * Uniform Java 7 platform on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows: recent updates

 from Oracle provide better multi-platform experience.  This version is

 now bundled exclusively with Isabelle.

 *** Pure ***

 * Code generation for Haskell: restrict unqualified imports from

 Haskell Prelude to a small set of fundamental operations.

 * Command 'export_code': relative file names are interpreted

 relatively to master directory of current theory rather than the

 rather arbitrary current working directory.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Discontinued obsolete attribute "COMP".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,

 use regular rule composition via "OF" / "THEN", or explicit proof

 structure instead.  Note that Isabelle/ML provides a variety of

 operators like COMP, INCR_COMP, COMP_INCR, which need to be applied

 with some care where this is really required.

 * Command 'typ' supports an additional variant with explicit sort

 constraint, to infer and check the most general type conforming to a

 given sort.  Example (in HOL):

   typ "_ * _ * bool * unit" :: finite

 * Command 'locale_deps' visualizes all locales and their relations as

 a Hasse diagram.

 *** HOL ***

 * Sledgehammer:

   - Added MaSh relevance filter based on machine-learning; see the

     Sledgehammer manual for details.

   - Polished Isar proofs generated with "isar_proofs" option.

   - Rationalized type encodings ("type_enc" option).

   - Renamed "kill_provers" subcommand to "kill_all".

   - Renamed options:

       isar_proof ~> isar_proofs

       isar_shrink_factor ~> isar_shrink

       max_relevant ~> max_facts

       relevance_thresholds ~> fact_thresholds

 * Quickcheck: added an optimisation for equality premises.  It is

 switched on by default, and can be switched off by setting the

 configuration quickcheck_optimise_equality to false.

 * Quotient: only one quotient can be defined by quotient_type

 INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Lifting:

   - generation of an abstraction function equation in lift_definition

   - quot_del attribute

   - renamed no_abs_code -> no_code (INCOMPATIBILITY.)

 * Simproc "finite_Collect" rewrites set comprehensions into pointfree

 expressions.

 * Preprocessing of the code generator rewrites set comprehensions into

 pointfree expressions.

 * The SMT solver Z3 has now by default a restricted set of directly

 supported features. For the full set of features (div/mod, nonlinear

 arithmetic, datatypes/records) with potential proof reconstruction

 failures, enable the configuration option "z3_with_extensions".  Minor

 INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Simplified 'typedef' specifications: historical options for implicit

 set definition and alternative name have been discontinued.  The

 former behavior of "typedef (open) t = A" is now the default, but

 written just "typedef t = A".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt theories

 accordingly.

 * Removed constant "chars"; prefer "Enum.enum" on type "char"

 directly.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Moved operation product, sublists and n_lists from theory Enum to

 List.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Theorem UN_o generalized to SUP_comp.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Class "comm_monoid_diff" formalises properties of bounded

 subtraction, with natural numbers and multisets as typical instances.

 * Added combinator "Option.these" with type "'a option set => 'a set".

 * Theory "Transitive_Closure": renamed lemmas

   reflcl_tranclp -> reflclp_tranclp

   rtranclp_reflcl -> rtranclp_reflclp

 INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Theory "Rings": renamed lemmas (in class semiring)

   left_distrib ~> distrib_right

   right_distrib ~> distrib_left

 INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Generalized the definition of limits:

   - Introduced the predicate filterlim (LIM x F. f x :> G) which

     expresses that when the input values x converge to F then the

     output f x converges to G.

   - Added filters for convergence to positive (at_top) and negative

     infinity (at_bot).

   - Moved infinity in the norm (at_infinity) from

     Multivariate_Analysis to Complex_Main.

   - Removed real_tendsto_inf, it is superseded by "LIM x F. f x :>

     at_top".

 INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Theory "Library/Option_ord" provides instantiation of option type to

 lattice type classes.

 * Theory "Library/Multiset": renamed

     constant fold_mset ~> Multiset.fold

     fact fold_mset_commute ~> fold_mset_comm

 INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Renamed theory Library/List_Prefix to Library/Sublist, with related

 changes as follows.

   - Renamed constants (and related lemmas)

       prefix ~> prefixeq

       strict_prefix ~> prefix

   - Replaced constant "postfix" by "suffixeq" with swapped argument

     order (i.e., "postfix xs ys" is now "suffixeq ys xs") and dropped

     old infix syntax "xs >>= ys"; use "suffixeq ys xs" instead.

     Renamed lemmas accordingly.

   - Added constant "list_hembeq" for homeomorphic embedding on

     lists. Added abbreviation "sublisteq" for special case

     "list_hembeq (op =)".

   - Theory Library/Sublist no longer provides "order" and "bot" type

     class instances for the prefix order (merely corresponding locale

     interpretations). The type class instances are now in theory

     Library/Prefix_Order.

   - The sublist relation of theory Library/Sublist_Order is now based

     on "Sublist.sublisteq".  Renamed lemmas accordingly:

       le_list_append_le_same_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append_le_same_iff

       le_list_append_mono ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_append_mono

       le_list_below_empty ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil, Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil2

       le_list_Cons_EX ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_ConsD

       le_list_drop_Cons2 ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2'

       le_list_drop_Cons_neq ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2_neq

       le_list_drop_Cons ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons'

       le_list_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_drop_many

       le_list_filter_left ~> Sublist.sublisteq_filter_left

       le_list_rev_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_rev_drop_many

       le_list_rev_take_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append

       le_list_same_length ~> Sublist.sublisteq_same_length

       le_list_take_many_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append'

       less_eq_list.drop ~> less_eq_list_drop

       less_eq_list.induct ~> less_eq_list_induct

       not_le_list_length ~> Sublist.not_sublisteq_length

 INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * New theory Library/Countable_Set.

 * Theory Library/Debug and Library/Parallel provide debugging and

 parallel execution for code generated towards Isabelle/ML.

 * Theory Library/FuncSet: Extended support for Pi and extensional and

 introduce the extensional dependent function space "PiE". Replaced

 extensional_funcset by an abbreviation, and renamed lemmas from

 extensional_funcset to PiE as follows:

   extensional_empty  ~>  PiE_empty

   extensional_funcset_empty_domain  ~>  PiE_empty_domain

   extensional_funcset_empty_range  ~>  PiE_empty_range

   extensional_funcset_arb  ~>  PiE_arb

   extensional_funcset_mem  ~>  PiE_mem

   extensional_funcset_extend_domainI  ~>  PiE_fun_upd

   extensional_funcset_restrict_domain  ~>  fun_upd_in_PiE

   extensional_funcset_extend_domain_eq  ~>  PiE_insert_eq

   card_extensional_funcset  ~>  card_PiE

   finite_extensional_funcset  ~>  finite_PiE

 INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Theory Library/FinFun: theory of almost everywhere constant

 functions (supersedes the AFP entry "Code Generation for Functions as

 Data").

 * Theory Library/Phantom: generic phantom type to make a type

 parameter appear in a constant's type.  This alternative to adding

 TYPE('a) as another parameter avoids unnecessary closures in generated

 code.

 * Theory Library/RBT_Impl: efficient construction of red-black trees

 from sorted associative lists. Merging two trees with rbt_union may

 return a structurally different tree than before.  Potential

 INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Theory Library/IArray: immutable arrays with code generation.

 * Theory Library/Finite_Lattice: theory of finite lattices.

 * HOL/Multivariate_Analysis: replaced

   "basis :: 'a::euclidean_space => nat => real"

   "\<Chi>\<Chi> :: (nat => real) => 'a::euclidean_space"

 on euclidean spaces by using the inner product "_ \<bullet> _" with

 vectors from the Basis set: "\<Chi>\<Chi> i. f i" is superseded by

 "SUM i : Basis. f i * r i".

   With this change the following constants are also changed or removed:

     DIM('a) :: nat  ~>  card (Basis :: 'a set)   (is an abbreviation)

     a $$ i  ~>  inner a i  (where i : Basis)

     cart_base i  removed

     \<pi>, \<pi>'  removed

   Theorems about these constants where removed.

   Renamed lemmas:

     component_le_norm  ~>  Basis_le_norm

     euclidean_eq  ~>  euclidean_eq_iff

     differential_zero_maxmin_component  ~>  differential_zero_maxmin_cart

     euclidean_simps  ~>  inner_simps

     independent_basis  ~>  independent_Basis

     span_basis  ~>  span_Basis

     in_span_basis  ~>  in_span_Basis

     norm_bound_component_le  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_le

     norm_bound_component_lt  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_lt

     component_le_infnorm  ~>  Basis_le_infnorm

 INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * HOL/Probability:

   - Added simproc "measurable" to automatically prove measurability.

   - Added induction rules for sigma sets with disjoint union

     (sigma_sets_induct_disjoint) and for Borel-measurable functions

     (borel_measurable_induct).

   - Added the Daniell-Kolmogorov theorem (the existence the limit of a

     projective family).

 * HOL/Cardinals: Theories of ordinals and cardinals (supersedes the

 AFP entry "Ordinals_and_Cardinals").

 * HOL/BNF: New (co)datatype package based on bounded natural functors

 with support for mixed, nested recursion and interesting non-free

 datatypes.

 * HOL/Finite_Set and Relation: added new set and relation operations

 expressed by Finite_Set.fold.

 * New theory HOL/Library/RBT_Set: implementation of sets by red-black

 trees for the code generator.

 * HOL/Library/RBT and HOL/Library/Mapping have been converted to

 Lifting/Transfer.

 possible INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * HOL/Set: renamed Set.project -> Set.filter

 INCOMPATIBILITY.

 *** Document preparation ***

 * Dropped legacy antiquotations "term_style" and "thm_style", since

 styles may be given as arguments to "term" and "thm" already.

 Discontinued legacy styles "prem1" .. "prem19".

 * Default LaTeX rendering for \<euro> is now based on eurosym package,

 instead of slightly exotic babel/greek.

 * Document variant NAME may use different LaTeX entry point

 document/root_NAME.tex if that file exists, instead of the common

 document/root.tex.

 * Simplified custom document/build script, instead of old-style

 document/IsaMakefile.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.

 *** ML ***

 * The default limit for maximum number of worker threads is now 8,

 instead of 4, in correspondence to capabilities of contemporary

 hardware and Poly/ML runtime system.

 * Type Seq.results and related operations support embedded error

 messages within lazy enumerations, and thus allow to provide

 informative errors in the absence of any usable results.

 * Renamed Position.str_of to Position.here to emphasize that this is a

 formal device to inline positions into message text, but not

 necessarily printing visible text.

 *** System ***

 * Advanced support for Isabelle sessions and build management, see

 "system" manual for the chapter of that name, especially the "isabelle

 build" tool and its examples.  The "isabelle mkroot" tool prepares

 session root directories for use with "isabelle build", similar to

 former "isabelle mkdir" for "isabelle usedir".  Note that this affects

 document preparation as well.  INCOMPATIBILITY, isabelle usedir /

 mkdir / make are rendered obsolete.

 * Discontinued obsolete Isabelle/build script, it is superseded by the

 regular isabelle build tool.  For example:

   isabelle build -s -b HOL

 * Discontinued obsolete "isabelle makeall".

 * Discontinued obsolete IsaMakefile and ROOT.ML files from the

 Isabelle distribution, except for rudimentary src/HOL/IsaMakefile that

 provides some traditional targets that invoke "isabelle build".  Note

 that this is inefficient!  Applications of Isabelle/HOL involving

 "isabelle make" should be upgraded to use "isabelle build" directly.

 * The "isabelle options" tool prints Isabelle system options, as

 required for "isabelle build", for example.

 * The "isabelle logo" tool produces EPS and PDF format simultaneously.

 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY in command-line options.

 * The "isabelle install" tool has now a simpler command-line.  Minor

 INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * The "isabelle components" tool helps to resolve add-on components

 that are not bundled, or referenced from a bare-bones repository

 version of Isabelle.

 * Settings variable ISABELLE_PLATFORM_FAMILY refers to the general

 platform family: "linux", "macos", "windows".

 * The ML system is configured as regular component, and no longer

 picked up from some surrounding directory.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY

 for home-made settings.

 * Improved ML runtime statistics (heap, threads, future tasks etc.).

 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2.1, which was the last version

 without exception positions and advanced ML compiler/toplevel

 configuration.

 * Discontinued special treatment of Proof General -- no longer guess

 PROOFGENERAL_HOME based on accidental file-system layout.  Minor

 INCOMPATIBILITY: provide PROOFGENERAL_HOME and PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS

 settings manually, or use a Proof General version that has been

 bundled as Isabelle component.

 New in Isabelle2012 (May 2012)

 ------------------------------

 *** General ***

 * Prover IDE (PIDE) improvements:

   - more robust Sledgehammer integration (as before the sledgehammer

     command-line needs to be typed into the source buffer)

   - markup for bound variables

   - markup for types of term variables (displayed as tooltips)

   - support for user-defined Isar commands within the running session

   - improved support for Unicode outside original 16bit range

     e.g. glyph for \<A> (thanks to jEdit 4.5.1)

 * Forward declaration of outer syntax keywords within the theory

 header -- minor INCOMPATIBILITY for user-defined commands.  Allow new

 commands to be used in the same theory where defined.

 * Auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for specifications with

 additional parameters and assumptions.  Such unnamed contexts may be

 nested within other targets, like 'theory', 'locale', 'class',

 'instantiation' etc.  Results from the local context are generalized

 accordingly and applied to the enclosing target context.  Example:

   context

     fixes x y z :: 'a

     assumes xy: "x = y" and yz: "y = z"

   begin

   lemma my_trans: "x = z" using xy yz by simp

   end

   thm my_trans

 The most basic application is to factor-out context elements of

 several fixes/assumes/shows theorem statements, e.g. see

 ~~/src/HOL/Isar_Examples/Group_Context.thy

 Any other local theory specification element works within the "context

 ... begin ... end" block as well.

 * Bundled declarations associate attributed fact expressions with a

 given name in the context.  These may be later included in other

 contexts.  This allows to manage context extensions casually, without

 the logical dependencies of locales and locale interpretation.  See

 commands 'bundle', 'include', 'including' etc. in the isar-ref manual.

 * Commands 'lemmas' and 'theorems' allow local variables using 'for'

 declaration, and results are standardized before being stored.  Thus

 old-style "standard" after instantiation or composition of facts

 becomes obsolete.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, due to potential change of

 indices of schematic variables.

 * Rule attributes in local theory declarations (e.g. locale or class)

 are now statically evaluated: the resulting theorem is stored instead

 of the original expression.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where

 the historic accident of dynamic re-evaluation in interpretations

 etc. was exploited.

 * New tutorial "Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL"

 ("prog-prove").  It completely supersedes "A Tutorial Introduction to

 Structured Isar Proofs" ("isar-overview"), which has been removed.  It

 also supersedes "Isabelle/HOL, A Proof Assistant for Higher-Order

 Logic" as the recommended beginners tutorial, but does not cover all

 of the material of that old tutorial.

 * Updated and extended reference manuals: "isar-ref",

 "implementation", "system"; reduced remaining material in old "ref"

 manual.

 *** Pure ***

 * Command 'definition' no longer exports the foundational "raw_def"

 into the user context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, may use the regular

 "def" result with attribute "abs_def" to imitate the old version.

 * Attribute "abs_def" turns an equation of the form "f x y == t" into

 "f == %x y. t", which ensures that "simp" or "unfold" steps always

 expand it.  This also works for object-logic equality.  (Formerly

 undocumented feature.)

 * Sort constraints are now propagated in simultaneous statements, just

 like type constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where

 distinct sorts used to be assigned accidentally.  For example:

   lemma "P (x::'a::foo)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"  -- "now illegal"

   lemma "P (x::'a)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"

     -- "now uniform 'a::bar instead of default sort for first occurrence (!)"

 * Rule composition via attribute "OF" (or ML functions OF/MRS) is more

 tolerant against multiple unifiers, as long as the final result is

 unique.  (As before, rules are composed in canonical right-to-left

 order to accommodate newly introduced premises.)

 * Renamed some inner syntax categories:

     num ~> num_token

     xnum ~> xnum_token

     xstr ~> str_token

 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that in practice "num_const" or

 "num_position" etc. are mainly used instead (which also include

 position information via constraints).

 * Simplified configuration options for syntax ambiguity: see

 "syntax_ambiguity_warning" and "syntax_ambiguity_limit" in isar-ref

 manual.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Discontinued configuration option "syntax_positions": atomic terms

 in parse trees are always annotated by position constraints.

 * Old code generator for SML and its commands 'code_module',

 'code_library', 'consts_code', 'types_code' have been discontinued.

 Use commands of the generic code generator instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Redundant attribute "code_inline" has been discontinued. Use

 "code_unfold" instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Dropped attribute "code_unfold_post" in favor of the its dual

 "code_abbrev", which yields a common pattern in definitions like

   definition [code_abbrev]: "f = t"

 INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Obsolete 'types' command has been discontinued.  Use 'type_synonym'

 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * Discontinued old "prems" fact, which used to refer to the accidental

 collection of foundational premises in the context (already marked as

 legacy since Isabelle2011).

 *** HOL ***

 * Type 'a set is now a proper type constructor (just as before

 Isabelle2008).  Definitions mem_def and Collect_def have disappeared.

 Non-trivial INCOMPATIBILITY.  For developments keeping predicates and

 sets separate, it is often sufficient to rephrase some set S that has

 been accidentally used as predicates by "%x. x : S", and some

 predicate P that has been accidentally used as set by "{x. P x}".

 Corresponding proofs in a first step should be pruned from any

 tinkering with former theorems mem_def and Collect_def as far as

 possible.

 For developments which deliberately mix predicates and sets, a

 planning step is necessary to determine what should become a predicate

 and what a set.  It can be helpful to carry out that step in

 Isabelle2011-1 before jumping right into the current release.

 * Code generation by default implements sets as container type rather

 than predicates.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * New type synonym 'a rel = ('a * 'a) set

 * The representation of numerals has changed.  Datatype "num"

 represents strictly positive binary numerals, along with functions

 "numeral :: num => 'a" and "neg_numeral :: num => 'a" to represent

 positive and negated numeric literals, respectively.  See also

 definitions in ~~/src/HOL/Num.thy.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, some

 user theories may require adaptations as follows:

   - Theorems with number_ring or number_semiring constraints: These

     classes are gone; use comm_ring_1 or comm_semiring_1 instead.

   - Theories defining numeric types: Remove number, number_semiring,

     and number_ring instances. Defer all theorems about numerals until

     after classes one and semigroup_add have been instantiated.

   - Numeral-only simp rules: Replace each rule having a "number_of v"

     pattern with two copies, one for numeral and one for neg_numeral.

   - Theorems about subclasses of semiring_1 or ring_1: These classes

     automatically support numerals now, so more simp rules and

     simprocs may now apply within the proof.

   - Definitions and theorems using old constructors Pls/Min/Bit0/Bit1:

     Redefine using other integer operations.

 * Transfer: New package intended to generalize the existing

 "descending" method and related theorem attributes from the Quotient

 package.  (Not all functionality is implemented yet, but future

 development will focus on Transfer as an eventual replacement for the

 corresponding parts of the Quotient package.)

   - transfer_rule attribute: Maintains a collection of transfer rules,

     which relate constants at two different types. Transfer rules may

     relate different type instances of the same polymorphic constant,

     or they may relate an operation on a raw type to a corresponding

     operation on an abstract type (quotient or subtype). For example:

     ((A ===> B) ===> list_all2 A ===> list_all2 B) map map

     (cr_int ===> cr_int ===> cr_int) (%(x,y) (u,v). (x+u, y+v)) plus_int

   - transfer method: Replaces a subgoal on abstract types with an

     equivalent subgoal on the corresponding raw types. Constants are

     replaced with corresponding ones according to the transfer rules.

     Goals are generalized over all free variables by default; this is

     necessary for variables whose types change, but can be overridden

     for specific variables with e.g. "transfer fixing: x y z".  The

     variant transfer' method allows replacing a subgoal with one that

     is logically stronger (rather than equivalent).

   - relator_eq attribute: Collects identity laws for relators of

     various type constructors, e.g. "list_all2 (op =) = (op =)".  The

     transfer method uses these lemmas to infer transfer rules for

     non-polymorphic constants on the fly.

   - transfer_prover method: Assists with proving a transfer rule for a

     new constant, provided the constant is defined in terms of other

     constants that already have transfer rules. It should be applied

     after unfolding the constant definitions.

   - HOL/ex/Transfer_Int_Nat.thy: Example theory demonstrating transfer

     from type nat to type int.

 * Lifting: New package intended to generalize the quotient_definition

 facility of the Quotient package; designed to work with Transfer.

   - lift_definition command: Defines operations on an abstract type in

     terms of a corresponding operation on a representation

     type.  Example syntax:

     lift_definition dlist_insert :: "'a => 'a dlist => 'a dlist"

       is List.insert

     Users must discharge a respectfulness proof obligation when each

     constant is defined. (For a type copy, i.e. a typedef with UNIV,

     the proof is discharged automatically.) The obligation is

     presented in a user-friendly, readable form; a respectfulness

     theorem in the standard format and a transfer rule are generated

     by the package.

   - Integration with code_abstype: For typedefs (e.g. subtypes

     corresponding to a datatype invariant, such as dlist),

     lift_definition generates a code certificate theorem and sets up

     code generation for each constant.

   - setup_lifting command: Sets up the Lifting package to work with a

     user-defined type. The user must provide either a quotient theorem

     or a type_definition theorem.  The package configures transfer

     rules for equality and quantifiers on the type, and sets up the

     lift_definition command to work with the type.

   - Usage examples: See Quotient_Examples/Lift_DList.thy,

     Quotient_Examples/Lift_RBT.thy, Quotient_Examples/Lift_FSet.thy,

     Word/Word.thy and Library/Float.thy.

 * Quotient package:

   - The 'quotient_type' command now supports a 'morphisms' option with

     rep and abs functions, similar to typedef.

   - 'quotient_type' sets up new types to work with the Lifting and

     Transfer packages, as with 'setup_lifting'.

   - The 'quotient_definition' command now requires the user to prove a

     respectfulness property at the point where the constant is

     defined, similar to lift_definition; INCOMPATIBILITY.

   - Renamed predicate 'Quotient' to 'Quotient3', and renamed theorems

     accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * New diagnostic command 'find_unused_assms' to find potentially

 superfluous assumptions in theorems using Quickcheck.

 * Quickcheck:

   - Quickcheck returns variable assignments as counterexamples, which

     allows to reveal the underspecification of functions under test.

     For example, refuting "hd xs = x", it presents the variable

     assignment xs = [] and x = a1 as a counterexample, assuming that

     any property is false whenever "hd []" occurs in it.

     These counterexample are marked as potentially spurious, as

     Quickcheck also returns "xs = []" as a counterexample to the

     obvious theorem "hd xs = hd xs".

     After finding a potentially spurious counterexample, Quickcheck

     continues searching for genuine ones.

     By default, Quickcheck shows potentially spurious and genuine

     counterexamples. The option "genuine_only" sets quickcheck to only

     show genuine counterexamples.

   - The command 'quickcheck_generator' creates random and exhaustive

     value generators for a given type and operations.

     It generates values by using the operations as if they were

     constructors of that type.

   - Support for multisets.

   - Added "use_subtype" options.

   - Added "quickcheck_locale" configuration to specify how to process

     conjectures in a locale context.

 * Nitpick: Fixed infinite loop caused by the 'peephole_optim' option

 and affecting 'rat' and 'real'.

 * Sledgehammer:

   - Integrated more tightly with SPASS, as described in the ITP 2012

     paper "More SPASS with Isabelle".

   - Made it try "smt" as a fallback if "metis" fails or times out.

   - Added support for the following provers: Alt-Ergo (via Why3 and

     TFF1), iProver, iProver-Eq.

   - Sped up the minimizer.

   - Added "lam_trans", "uncurry_aliases", and "minimize" options.

   - Renamed "slicing" ("no_slicing") option to "slice" ("dont_slice").

   - Renamed "sound" option to "strict".

 * Metis: Added possibility to specify lambda translations scheme as a

 parenthesized argument (e.g., "by (metis (lifting) ...)").

 * SMT: Renamed "smt_fixed" option to "smt_read_only_certificates".

 * Command 'try0': Renamed from 'try_methods'. INCOMPATIBILITY.

 * New "case_product" attribute to generate a case rule doing multiple

 case distinctions at the same time.  E.g.

   list.exhaust [case_product nat.exhaust]

 produces a rule which can be used to perform case distinction on both

 a list and a nat.

 * New "eventually_elim" method as a generalized variant of the

 eventually_elim* rules.  Supports structured proofs.

 * Typedef with implicit set definition is considered legacy.  Use

 "typedef (open)" form instead, which will eventually become the

 default.

 * Record: code generation can be switched off manually with

   declare [[record_coden = false]]  -- "default true"

 * Datatype: type parameters allow explicit sort constraints.

 * Concrete syntax for case expressions includes constraints for source

 positions, and thus produces Prover IDE markup for its bindings.

 INCOMPATIBILITY for old-style syntax translations that augment the

 pattern notation; e.g. see src/HOL/HOLCF/One.thy for translations of

 one_case.

 * Clarified attribute "mono_set": pure declaration without modifying

 the result of the fact expression.

 * More default pred/set conversions on a couple of relation operations

 and predicates.  Added powers of predicate relations.  Consolidation

 of some relation theorems:

   converse_def ~> converse_unfold

   rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold

   symp_def ~> (modified, use symp_def and sym_def instead)

   transp_def ~> transp_trans

   Domain_def ~> Domain_unfold

   Range_def ~> Domain_converse [symmetric]

 Generalized theorems INF_INT_eq, INF_INT_eq2, SUP_UN_eq, SUP_UN_eq2.

 See theory "Relation" for examples for making use of pred/set

 conversions by means of attributes "to_set" and "to_pred".

 INCOMPATIBILITY.

 to match the constant's name:

 * Session HOL-Word: New proof method "word_bitwise" for splitting

 machine word equalities and inequalities into logical circuits,

 defined in HOL/Word/WordBitwise.thy.  Supports addition, subtraction,

 multiplication, shifting by constants, bitwise operators and numeric

 constants.  Requires fixed-length word types, not 'a word.  Solves

 many standard word identities outright and converts more into first

 order problems amenable to blast or similar.  See also examples in

 HOL/Word/Examples/WordExamples.thy.

 * Session HOL-Probability: Introduced the type "'a measure" to

 represent measures, this replaces the records 'a algebra and 'a

 measure_space.  The locales based on subset_class now have two

 locale-parameters the space \<Omega> and the set of measurable sets M.

 The product of probability spaces uses now the same constant as the

 finite product of sigma-finite measure spaces "PiM :: ('i => 'a)

 measure".  Most constants are defined now outside of locales and gain

 an additional parameter, like null_sets, almost_eventually or \<mu>'.

 Measure space constructions for distributions and densities now got

 their own constants distr and density.  Instead of using locales to

 describe measure spaces with a finite space, the measure count_space

 and point_measure is introduced.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
