     1 Isabelle NEWS -- history user-relevant changes
     2 ==============================================
     3 
     4 New in this Isabelle version
     5 ----------------------------
     6 
     7 *** HOL ***
     8 
     9 * Qualified constant names Wellfounded.acc, Wellfounded.accp.
    10 INCOMPATIBILITY.
    11 
    12 * Fact generalization and consolidation:
    13     neq_one_mod_two, mod_2_not_eq_zero_eq_one_int ~> not_mod_2_eq_0_eq_1
    14 INCOMPATIBILITY.
    15 
    16 * Purely algebraic definition of even.  Fact generalization and consolidation:
    17     nat_even_iff_2_dvd, int_even_iff_2_dvd ~> even_iff_2_dvd
    18     even_zero_(nat|int) ~> even_zero
    19 INCOMPATIBILITY.
    20 
    21 * Elimination of fact duplicates:
    22     equals_zero_I ~> minus_unique
    23     diff_eq_0_iff_eq ~> right_minus_eq
    24 INCOMPATIBILITY.
    25 
    26 * Fact name consolidation:
    27     diff_def, diff_minus, ab_diff_minus ~> diff_conv_add_uminus
    28     minus_le_self_iff ~> neg_less_eq_nonneg
    29     le_minus_self_iff ~> less_eq_neg_nonpos
    30     neg_less_nonneg ~> neg_less_pos
    31     less_minus_self_iff ~> less_neg_neg [simp]
    32 INCOMPATIBILITY.
    33 
    34 * More simplification rules on unary and binary minus:
    35 add_diff_cancel, add_diff_cancel_left, add_le_same_cancel1,
    36 add_le_same_cancel2, add_less_same_cancel1, add_less_same_cancel2,
    37 add_minus_cancel, diff_add_cancel, le_add_same_cancel1,
    38 le_add_same_cancel2, less_add_same_cancel1, less_add_same_cancel2,
    39 minus_add_cancel, uminus_add_conv_diff.  These correspondingly
    40 have been taken away from fact collections algebra_simps and
    41 field_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
    42 
    43 To restore proofs, the following patterns are helpful:
    44 
    45 a) Arbitrary failing proof not involving "diff_def":
    46 Consider simplification with algebra_simps or field_simps.
    47 
    48 b) Lifting rules from addition to subtraction:
    49 Try with "using <rule for addition> of [… "- _" …]" by simp".
    50 
    51 c) Simplification with "diff_def": just drop "diff_def".
    52 Consider simplification with algebra_simps or field_simps;
    53 or the brute way with
    54 "simp add: diff_conv_add_uminus del: add_uminus_conv_diff".
    55 
    56 * SUP and INF generalized to conditionally_complete_lattice
    57 
    58 * Theory Lubs moved HOL image to HOL-Library. It is replaced by
    59 Conditionally_Complete_Lattices.   INCOMPATIBILITY.
    60 
    61 * Introduce bdd_above and bdd_below in Conditionally_Complete_Lattices, use them
    62 instead of explicitly stating boundedness of sets.
    63 
    64 
    65 New in Isabelle2013-1 (November 2013)
    66 -------------------------------------
    67 
    68 *** General ***
    69 
    70 * Discontinued obsolete 'uses' within theory header.  Note that
    71 commands like 'ML_file' work without separate declaration of file
    72 dependencies.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    73 
    74 * Discontinued redundant 'use' command, which was superseded by
    75 'ML_file' in Isabelle2013.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    76 
    77 * Simplified subscripts within identifiers, using plain \<^sub>
    78 instead of the second copy \<^isub> and \<^isup>.  Superscripts are
    79 only for literal tokens within notation; explicit mixfix annotations
    80 for consts or fixed variables may be used as fall-back for unusual
    81 names.  Obsolete \<twosuperior> has been expanded to \<^sup>2 in
    82 Isabelle/HOL.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "isabelle update_sub_sup" to
    83 standardize symbols as a starting point for further manual cleanup.
    84 The ML reference variable "legacy_isub_isup" may be set as temporary
    85 workaround, to make the prover accept a subset of the old identifier
    86 syntax.
    87 
    88 * Document antiquotations: term style "isub" has been renamed to
    89 "sub".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    90 
    91 * Uniform management of "quick_and_dirty" as system option (see also
    92 "isabelle options"), configuration option within the context (see also
    93 Config.get in Isabelle/ML), and attribute in Isabelle/Isar.  Minor
    94 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use more official Isabelle means to access
    95 quick_and_dirty, instead of historical poking into mutable reference.
    96 
    97 * Renamed command 'print_configs' to 'print_options'.  Minor
    98 INCOMPATIBILITY.
    99 
   100 * Proper diagnostic command 'print_state'.  Old 'pr' (with its
   101 implicit change of some global references) is retained for now as
   102 control command, e.g. for ProofGeneral 3.7.x.
   103 
   104 * Discontinued 'print_drafts' command with its old-fashioned PS output
   105 and Unix command-line print spooling.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: use
   106 'display_drafts' instead and print via the regular document viewer.
   107 
   108 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual,
   109 eliminated old "ref" manual.
   110 
   111 
   112 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
   113 
   114 * New manual "jedit" for Isabelle/jEdit, see isabelle doc or
   115 Documentation panel.
   116 
   117 * Dockable window "Documentation" provides access to Isabelle
   118 documentation.
   119 
   120 * Dockable window "Find" provides query operations for formal entities
   121 (GUI front-end to 'find_theorems' command).
   122 
   123 * Dockable window "Sledgehammer" manages asynchronous / parallel
   124 sledgehammer runs over existing document sources, independently of
   125 normal editing and checking process.
   126 
   127 * Dockable window "Timing" provides an overview of relevant command
   128 timing information, depending on option jedit_timing_threshold.  The
   129 same timing information is shown in the extended tooltip of the
   130 command keyword, when hovering the mouse over it while the CONTROL or
   131 COMMAND modifier is pressed.
   132 
   133 * Improved dockable window "Theories": Continuous checking of proof
   134 document (visible and required parts) may be controlled explicitly,
   135 using check box or shortcut "C+e ENTER".  Individual theory nodes may
   136 be marked explicitly as required and checked in full, using check box
   137 or shortcut "C+e SPACE".
   138 
   139 * Improved completion mechanism, which is now managed by the
   140 Isabelle/jEdit plugin instead of SideKick.  Refined table of Isabelle
   141 symbol abbreviations (see $ISABELLE_HOME/etc/symbols).
   142 
   143 * Standard jEdit keyboard shortcut C+b complete-word is remapped to
   144 isabelle.complete for explicit completion in Isabelle sources.
   145 INCOMPATIBILITY wrt. jEdit defaults, may have to invent new shortcuts
   146 to resolve conflict.
   147 
   148 * Improved support of various "minor modes" for Isabelle NEWS,
   149 options, session ROOT etc., with completion and SideKick tree view.
   150 
   151 * Strictly monotonic document update, without premature cancellation of
   152 running transactions that are still needed: avoid reset/restart of
   153 such command executions while editing.
   154 
   155 * Support for asynchronous print functions, as overlay to existing
   156 document content.
   157 
   158 * Support for automatic tools in HOL, which try to prove or disprove
   159 toplevel theorem statements.
   160 
   161 * Action isabelle.reset-font-size resets main text area font size
   162 according to Isabelle/Scala plugin option "jedit_font_reset_size" (see
   163 also "Plugin Options / Isabelle / General").  It can be bound to some
   164 keyboard shortcut by the user (e.g. C+0 and/or C+NUMPAD0).
   165 
   166 * File specifications in jEdit (e.g. file browser) may refer to
   167 $ISABELLE_HOME and $ISABELLE_HOME_USER on all platforms.  Discontinued
   168 obsolete $ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS variable.
   169 
   170 * Improved support for Linux look-and-feel "GTK+", see also "Utilities
   171 / Global Options / Appearance".
   172 
   173 * Improved support of native Mac OS X functionality via "MacOSX"
   174 plugin, which is now enabled by default.
   175 
   176 
   177 *** Pure ***
   178 
   179 * Commands 'interpretation' and 'sublocale' are now target-sensitive.
   180 In particular, 'interpretation' allows for non-persistent
   181 interpretation within "context ... begin ... end" blocks offering a
   182 light-weight alternative to 'sublocale'.  See "isar-ref" manual for
   183 details.
   184 
   185 * Improved locales diagnostic command 'print_dependencies'.
   186 
   187 * Discontinued obsolete 'axioms' command, which has been marked as
   188 legacy since Isabelle2009-2.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use 'axiomatization'
   189 instead, while observing its uniform scope for polymorphism.
   190 
   191 * Discontinued empty name bindings in 'axiomatization'.
   192 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   193 
   194 * System option "proofs" has been discontinued.  Instead the global
   195 state of Proofterm.proofs is persistently compiled into logic images
   196 as required, notably HOL-Proofs.  Users no longer need to change
   197 Proofterm.proofs dynamically.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   198 
   199 * Syntax translation functions (print_translation etc.) always depend
   200 on Proof.context.  Discontinued former "(advanced)" option -- this is
   201 now the default.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   202 
   203 * Former global reference trace_unify_fail is now available as
   204 configuration option "unify_trace_failure" (global context only).
   205 
   206 * SELECT_GOAL now retains the syntactic context of the overall goal
   207 state (schematic variables etc.).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare
   208 situations.
   209 
   210 
   211 *** HOL ***
   212 
   213 * Stronger precedence of syntax for big intersection and union on
   214 sets, in accordance with corresponding lattice operations.
   215 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   216 
   217 * Notation "{p:A. P}" now allows tuple patterns as well.
   218 
   219 * Nested case expressions are now translated in a separate check phase
   220 rather than during parsing. The data for case combinators is separated
   221 from the datatype package. The declaration attribute
   222 "case_translation" can be used to register new case combinators:
   223 
   224   declare [[case_translation case_combinator constructor1 ... constructorN]]
   225 
   226 * Code generator:
   227   - 'code_printing' unifies 'code_const' / 'code_type' / 'code_class' /
   228     'code_instance'.
   229   - 'code_identifier' declares name hints for arbitrary identifiers in
   230     generated code, subsuming 'code_modulename'.
   231 
   232 See the isar-ref manual for syntax diagrams, and the HOL theories for
   233 examples.
   234 
   235 * Attibute 'code': 'code' now declares concrete and abstract code
   236 equations uniformly.  Use explicit 'code equation' and 'code abstract'
   237 to distinguish both when desired.
   238 
   239 * Discontinued theories Code_Integer and Efficient_Nat by a more
   240 fine-grain stack of theories Code_Target_Int, Code_Binary_Nat,
   241 Code_Target_Nat and Code_Target_Numeral.  See the tutorial on code
   242 generation for details.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   243 
   244 * Numeric types are mapped by default to target language numerals:
   245 natural (replaces former code_numeral) and integer (replaces former
   246 code_int).  Conversions are available as integer_of_natural /
   247 natural_of_integer / integer_of_nat / nat_of_integer (in HOL) and
   248 Code_Numeral.integer_of_natural / Code_Numeral.natural_of_integer (in
   249 ML).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   250 
   251 * Function package: For mutually recursive functions f and g, separate
   252 cases rules f.cases and g.cases are generated instead of unusable
   253 f_g.cases which exposed internal sum types. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
   254 in the case that the unusable rule was used nevertheless.
   255 
   256 * Function package: For each function f, new rules f.elims are
   257 generated, which eliminate equalities of the form "f x = t".
   258 
   259 * New command 'fun_cases' derives ad-hoc elimination rules for
   260 function equations as simplified instances of f.elims, analogous to
   261 inductive_cases.  See ~~/src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy for some examples.
   262 
   263 * Lifting:
   264   - parametrized correspondence relations are now supported:
   265     + parametricity theorems for the raw term can be specified in
   266       the command lift_definition, which allow us to generate stronger
   267       transfer rules
   268     + setup_lifting generates stronger transfer rules if parametric
   269       correspondence relation can be generated
   270     + various new properties of the relator must be specified to support
   271       parametricity
   272     + parametricity theorem for the Quotient relation can be specified
   273   - setup_lifting generates domain rules for the Transfer package
   274   - stronger reflexivity prover of respectfulness theorems for type
   275     copies
   276   - ===> and --> are now local. The symbols can be introduced
   277     by interpreting the locale lifting_syntax (typically in an
   278     anonymous context)
   279   - Lifting/Transfer relevant parts of Library/Quotient_* are now in
   280     Main. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
   281   - new commands for restoring and deleting Lifting/Transfer context:
   282     lifting_forget, lifting_update
   283   - the command print_quotmaps was renamed to print_quot_maps.
   284     INCOMPATIBILITY
   285 
   286 * Transfer:
   287   - better support for domains in Transfer: replace Domainp T
   288     by the actual invariant in a transferred goal
   289   - transfer rules can have as assumptions other transfer rules
   290   - Experimental support for transferring from the raw level to the
   291     abstract level: Transfer.transferred attribute
   292   - Attribute version of the transfer method: untransferred attribute
   293 
   294 * Reification and reflection:
   295   - Reification is now directly available in HOL-Main in structure
   296     "Reification".
   297   - Reflection now handles multiple lists with variables also.
   298   - The whole reflection stack has been decomposed into conversions.
   299 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   300 
   301 * Revised devices for recursive definitions over finite sets:
   302   - Only one fundamental fold combinator on finite set remains:
   303     Finite_Set.fold :: ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
   304     This is now identity on infinite sets.
   305   - Locales ("mini packages") for fundamental definitions with
   306     Finite_Set.fold: folding, folding_idem.
   307   - Locales comm_monoid_set, semilattice_order_set and
   308     semilattice_neutr_order_set for big operators on sets.
   309     See theory Big_Operators for canonical examples.
   310     Note that foundational constants comm_monoid_set.F and
   311     semilattice_set.F correspond to former combinators fold_image
   312     and fold1 respectively.  These are now gone.  You may use
   313     those foundational constants as substitutes, but it is
   314     preferable to interpret the above locales accordingly.
   315   - Dropped class ab_semigroup_idem_mult (special case of lattice,
   316     no longer needed in connection with Finite_Set.fold etc.)
   317   - Fact renames:
   318       card.union_inter ~> card_Un_Int [symmetric]
   319       card.union_disjoint ~> card_Un_disjoint
   320 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   321 
   322 * Locale hierarchy for abstract orderings and (semi)lattices.
   323 
   324 * Complete_Partial_Order.admissible is defined outside the type class
   325 ccpo, but with mandatory prefix ccpo. Admissibility theorems lose the
   326 class predicate assumption or sort constraint when possible.
   327 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   328 
   329 * Introduce type class "conditionally_complete_lattice": Like a
   330 complete lattice but does not assume the existence of the top and
   331 bottom elements.  Allows to generalize some lemmas about reals and
   332 extended reals.  Removed SupInf and replaced it by the instantiation
   333 of conditionally_complete_lattice for real. Renamed lemmas about
   334 conditionally-complete lattice from Sup_... to cSup_... and from
   335 Inf_...  to cInf_... to avoid hidding of similar complete lattice
   336 lemmas.
   337 
   338 * Introduce type class linear_continuum as combination of
   339 conditionally-complete lattices and inner dense linorders which have
   340 more than one element.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   341 
   342 * Introduced type classes order_top and order_bot. The old classes top
   343 and bot only contain the syntax without assumptions.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
   344 Rename bot -> order_bot, top -> order_top
   345 
   346 * Introduce type classes "no_top" and "no_bot" for orderings without
   347 top and bottom elements.
   348 
   349 * Split dense_linorder into inner_dense_order and no_top, no_bot.
   350 
   351 * Complex_Main: Unify and move various concepts from
   352 HOL-Multivariate_Analysis to HOL-Complex_Main.
   353 
   354  - Introduce type class (lin)order_topology and
   355    linear_continuum_topology.  Allows to generalize theorems about
   356    limits and order.  Instances are reals and extended reals.
   357 
   358  - continuous and continuos_on from Multivariate_Analysis:
   359    "continuous" is the continuity of a function at a filter.  "isCont"
   360    is now an abbrevitation: "isCont x f == continuous (at _) f".
   361 
   362    Generalized continuity lemmas from isCont to continuous on an
   363    arbitrary filter.
   364 
   365  - compact from Multivariate_Analysis. Use Bolzano's lemma to prove
   366    compactness of closed intervals on reals. Continuous functions
   367    attain infimum and supremum on compact sets. The inverse of a
   368    continuous function is continuous, when the function is continuous
   369    on a compact set.
   370 
   371  - connected from Multivariate_Analysis. Use it to prove the
   372    intermediate value theorem. Show connectedness of intervals on
   373    linear_continuum_topology).
   374 
   375  - first_countable_topology from Multivariate_Analysis. Is used to
   376    show equivalence of properties on the neighbourhood filter of x and
   377    on all sequences converging to x.
   378 
   379  - FDERIV: Definition of has_derivative moved to Deriv.thy. Moved
   380    theorems from Library/FDERIV.thy to Deriv.thy and base the
   381    definition of DERIV on FDERIV. Add variants of DERIV and FDERIV
   382    which are restricted to sets, i.e. to represent derivatives from
   383    left or right.
   384 
   385  - Removed the within-filter. It is replaced by the principal filter:
   386 
   387      F within X = inf F (principal X)
   388 
   389  - Introduce "at x within U" as a single constant, "at x" is now an
   390    abbreviation for "at x within UNIV"
   391 
   392  - Introduce named theorem collections tendsto_intros,
   393    continuous_intros, continuous_on_intros and FDERIV_intros. Theorems
   394    in tendsto_intros (or FDERIV_intros) are also available as
   395    tendsto_eq_intros (or FDERIV_eq_intros) where the right-hand side
   396    is replaced by a congruence rule. This allows to apply them as
   397    intro rules and then proving equivalence by the simplifier.
   398 
   399  - Restructured theories in HOL-Complex_Main:
   400 
   401    + Moved RealDef and RComplete into Real
   402 
   403    + Introduced Topological_Spaces and moved theorems about
   404      topological spaces, filters, limits and continuity to it
   405 
   406    + Renamed RealVector to Real_Vector_Spaces
   407 
   408    + Split Lim, SEQ, Series into Topological_Spaces,
   409      Real_Vector_Spaces, and Limits
   410 
   411    + Moved Ln and Log to Transcendental
   412 
   413    + Moved theorems about continuity from Deriv to Topological_Spaces
   414 
   415  - Remove various auxiliary lemmas.
   416 
   417 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   418 
   419 * Nitpick:
   420   - Added option "spy"
   421   - Reduce incidence of "too high arity" errors
   422 
   423 * Sledgehammer:
   424   - Renamed option:
   425       isar_shrink ~> isar_compress
   426     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   427   - Added options "isar_try0", "spy"
   428   - Better support for "isar_proofs"
   429   - MaSh has been fined-tuned and now runs as a local server
   430 
   431 * Improved support for ad hoc overloading of constants (see also
   432 isar-ref manual and ~~/src/HOL/ex/Adhoc_Overloading_Examples.thy).
   433 
   434 * Library/Polynomial.thy:
   435   - Use lifting for primitive definitions.
   436   - Explicit conversions from and to lists of coefficients, used for
   437     generated code.
   438   - Replaced recursion operator poly_rec by fold_coeffs.
   439   - Prefer pre-existing gcd operation for gcd.
   440   - Fact renames:
   441     poly_eq_iff ~> poly_eq_poly_eq_iff
   442     poly_ext ~> poly_eqI
   443     expand_poly_eq ~> poly_eq_iff
   444 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
   445 
   446 * New Library/Simps_Case_Conv.thy: Provides commands simps_of_case and
   447 case_of_simps to convert function definitions between a list of
   448 equations with patterns on the lhs and a single equation with case
   449 expressions on the rhs. See also Ex/Simps_Case_Conv_Examples.thy.
   450 
   451 * New Library/FSet.thy: type of finite sets defined as a subtype of
   452 sets defined by Lifting/Transfer.
   453 
   454 * Discontinued theory src/HOL/Library/Eval_Witness.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   455 
   456 * Consolidation of library theories on product orders:
   457 
   458     Product_Lattice ~> Product_Order -- pointwise order on products
   459     Product_ord ~> Product_Lexorder -- lexicographic order on products
   460 
   461 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   462 
   463 * Imperative-HOL: The MREC combinator is considered legacy and no
   464 longer included by default. INCOMPATIBILITY, use partial_function
   465 instead, or import theory Legacy_Mrec as a fallback.
   466 
   467 * HOL-Algebra: Discontinued theories ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/abstract and
   468 ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/poly.  Existing theories should be based on
   469 ~~/src/HOL/Library/Polynomial instead.  The latter provides
   470 integration with HOL's type classes for rings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   471 
   472 * HOL-BNF:
   473   - Various improvements to BNF-based (co)datatype package, including
   474     new commands "primrec_new", "primcorec", and
   475     "datatype_new_compat", as well as documentation. See
   476     "datatypes.pdf" for details.
   477   - New "coinduction" method to avoid some boilerplate (compared to
   478     coinduct).
   479   - Renamed keywords:
   480     data ~> datatype_new
   481     codata ~> codatatype
   482     bnf_def ~> bnf
   483   - Renamed many generated theorems, including
   484     discs ~> disc
   485     map_comp' ~> map_comp
   486     map_id' ~> map_id
   487     sels ~> sel
   488     set_map' ~> set_map
   489     sets ~> set
   490 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
   491 
   492 
   493 *** ML ***
   494 
   495 * Spec_Check is a Quickcheck tool for Isabelle/ML.  The ML function
   496 "check_property" allows to check specifications of the form "ALL x y
   497 z. prop x y z".  See also ~~/src/Tools/Spec_Check/ with its
   498 Examples.thy in particular.
   499 
   500 * Improved printing of exception trace in Poly/ML 5.5.1, with regular
   501 tracing output in the command transaction context instead of physical
   502 stdout.  See also Toplevel.debug, Toplevel.debugging and
   503 ML_Compiler.exn_trace.
   504 
   505 * ML type "theory" is now immutable, without any special treatment of
   506 drafts or linear updates (which could lead to "stale theory" errors in
   507 the past).  Discontinued obsolete operations like Theory.copy,
   508 Theory.checkpoint, and the auxiliary type theory_ref.  Minor
   509 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   510 
   511 * More uniform naming of goal functions for skipped proofs:
   512 
   513     Skip_Proof.prove  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry
   514     Skip_Proof.prove_global  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry_global
   515 
   516 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   517 
   518 * Simplifier tactics and tools use proper Proof.context instead of
   519 historic type simpset.  Old-style declarations like addsimps,
   520 addsimprocs etc. operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type simpset
   521 retains its use as snapshot of the main Simplifier context, using
   522 simpset_of and put_simpset on Proof.context.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- port
   523 old tools by making them depend on (ctxt : Proof.context) instead of
   524 (ss : simpset), then turn (simpset_of ctxt) into ctxt.
   525 
   526 * Modifiers for classical wrappers (e.g. addWrapper, delWrapper)
   527 operate on Proof.context instead of claset, for uniformity with addIs,
   528 addEs, addDs etc. Note that claset_of and put_claset allow to manage
   529 clasets separately from the context.
   530 
   531 * Discontinued obsolete ML antiquotations @{claset} and @{simpset}.
   532 INCOMPATIBILITY, use @{context} instead.
   533 
   534 * Antiquotation @{theory_context A} is similar to @{theory A}, but
   535 presents the result as initial Proof.context.
   536 
   537 
   538 *** System ***
   539 
   540 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle usedir, mkdir, make -- superseded by
   541 "isabelle build" in Isabelle2013.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   542 
   543 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle-process options -f and -u (former
   544 administrative aliases of option -e).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   545 
   546 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle print tool, and PRINT_COMMAND
   547 settings variable.
   548 
   549 * Discontinued ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT settings variable and historic
   550 document formats: dvi.gz, ps, ps.gz -- the default document format is
   551 always pdf.
   552 
   553 * Isabelle settings variable ISABELLE_BUILD_JAVA_OPTIONS allows to
   554 specify global resources of the JVM process run by isabelle build.
   555 
   556 * Toplevel executable $ISABELLE_HOME/bin/isabelle_scala_script allows
   557 to run Isabelle/Scala source files as standalone programs.
   558 
   559 * Improved "isabelle keywords" tool (for old-style ProofGeneral
   560 keyword tables): use Isabelle/Scala operations, which inspect outer
   561 syntax without requiring to build sessions first.
   562 
   563 * Sessions may be organized via 'chapter' specifications in the ROOT
   564 file, which determines a two-level hierarchy of browser info.  The old
   565 tree-like organization via implicit sub-session relation (with its
   566 tendency towards erratic fluctuation of URLs) has been discontinued.
   567 The default chapter is called "Unsorted".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
   568 for HTML presentation of theories.
   569 
   570 
   571 
   572 New in Isabelle2013 (February 2013)
   573 -----------------------------------
   574 
   575 *** General ***
   576 
   577 * Theorem status about oracles and unfinished/failed future proofs is
   578 no longer printed by default, since it is incompatible with
   579 incremental / parallel checking of the persistent document model.  ML
   580 function Thm.peek_status may be used to inspect a snapshot of the
   581 ongoing evaluation process.  Note that in batch mode --- notably
   582 isabelle build --- the system ensures that future proofs of all
   583 accessible theorems in the theory context are finished (as before).
   584 
   585 * Configuration option show_markup controls direct inlining of markup
   586 into the printed representation of formal entities --- notably type
   587 and sort constraints.  This enables Prover IDE users to retrieve that
   588 information via tooltips in the output window, for example.
   589 
   590 * Command 'ML_file' evaluates ML text from a file directly within the
   591 theory, without any predeclaration via 'uses' in the theory header.
   592 
   593 * Old command 'use' command and corresponding keyword 'uses' in the
   594 theory header are legacy features and will be discontinued soon.
   595 Tools that load their additional source files may imitate the
   596 'ML_file' implementation, such that the system can take care of
   597 dependencies properly.
   598 
   599 * Discontinued obsolete method fastsimp / tactic fast_simp_tac, which
   600 is called fastforce / fast_force_tac already since Isabelle2011-1.
   601 
   602 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual, reduced
   603 remaining material in old "ref" manual.
   604 
   605 * Improved support for auxiliary contexts that indicate block structure
   606 for specifications.  Nesting of "context fixes ... context assumes ..."
   607 and "class ... context ...".
   608 
   609 * Attribute "consumes" allows a negative value as well, which is
   610 interpreted relatively to the total number of premises of the rule in
   611 the target context.  This form of declaration is stable when exported
   612 from a nested 'context' with additional assumptions.  It is the
   613 preferred form for definitional packages, notably cases/rules produced
   614 in HOL/inductive and HOL/function.
   615 
   616 * More informative error messages for Isar proof commands involving
   617 lazy enumerations (method applications etc.).
   618 
   619 * Refined 'help' command to retrieve outer syntax commands according
   620 to name patterns (with clickable results).
   621 
   622 
   623 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
   624 
   625 * Parallel terminal proofs ('by') are enabled by default, likewise
   626 proofs that are built into packages like 'datatype', 'function'.  This
   627 allows to "run ahead" checking the theory specifications on the
   628 surface, while the prover is still crunching on internal
   629 justifications.  Unfinished / cancelled proofs are restarted as
   630 required to complete full proof checking eventually.
   631 
   632 * Improved output panel with tooltips, hyperlinks etc. based on the
   633 same Rich_Text_Area as regular Isabelle/jEdit buffers.  Activation of
   634 tooltips leads to some window that supports the same recursively,
   635 which can lead to stacks of tooltips as the semantic document content
   636 is explored.  ESCAPE closes the whole stack, individual windows may be
   637 closed separately, or detached to become independent jEdit dockables.
   638 
   639 * Improved support for commands that produce graph output: the text
   640 message contains a clickable area to open a new instance of the graph
   641 browser on demand.
   642 
   643 * More robust incremental parsing of outer syntax (partial comments,
   644 malformed symbols).  Changing the balance of open/close quotes and
   645 comment delimiters works more conveniently with unfinished situations
   646 that frequently occur in user interaction.
   647 
   648 * More efficient painting and improved reactivity when editing large
   649 files.  More scalable management of formal document content.
   650 
   651 * Smarter handling of tracing messages: prover process pauses after
   652 certain number of messages per command transaction, with some user
   653 dialog to stop or continue.  This avoids swamping the front-end with
   654 potentially infinite message streams.
   655 
   656 * More plugin options and preferences, based on Isabelle/Scala.  The
   657 jEdit plugin option panel provides access to some Isabelle/Scala
   658 options, including tuning parameters for editor reactivity and color
   659 schemes.
   660 
   661 * Dockable window "Symbols" provides some editing support for Isabelle
   662 symbols.
   663 
   664 * Dockable window "Monitor" shows ML runtime statistics.  Note that
   665 continuous display of the chart slows down the system.
   666 
   667 * Improved editing support for control styles: subscript, superscript,
   668 bold, reset of style -- operating on single symbols or text
   669 selections.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C+e DOWN/UP/RIGHT/LEFT.
   670 
   671 * Actions isabelle.increase-font-size and isabelle.decrease-font-size
   672 adjust the main text area font size, and its derivatives for output,
   673 tooltips etc.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C-PLUS and C-MINUS, which often
   674 need to be adapted to local keyboard layouts.
   675 
   676 * More reactive completion popup by default: use \t (TAB) instead of
   677 \n (NEWLINE) to minimize intrusion into regular flow of editing.  See
   678 also "Plugin Options / SideKick / General / Code Completion Options".
   679 
   680 * Implicit check and build dialog of the specified logic session
   681 image.  For example, HOL, HOLCF, HOL-Nominal can be produced on
   682 demand, without bundling big platform-dependent heap images in the
   683 Isabelle distribution.
   684 
   685 * Uniform Java 7 platform on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows: recent updates
   686 from Oracle provide better multi-platform experience.  This version is
   687 now bundled exclusively with Isabelle.
   688 
   689 
   690 *** Pure ***
   691 
   692 * Code generation for Haskell: restrict unqualified imports from
   693 Haskell Prelude to a small set of fundamental operations.
   694 
   695 * Command 'export_code': relative file names are interpreted
   696 relatively to master directory of current theory rather than the
   697 rather arbitrary current working directory.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   698 
   699 * Discontinued obsolete attribute "COMP".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
   700 use regular rule composition via "OF" / "THEN", or explicit proof
   701 structure instead.  Note that Isabelle/ML provides a variety of
   702 operators like COMP, INCR_COMP, COMP_INCR, which need to be applied
   703 with some care where this is really required.
   704 
   705 * Command 'typ' supports an additional variant with explicit sort
   706 constraint, to infer and check the most general type conforming to a
   707 given sort.  Example (in HOL):
   708 
   709   typ "_ * _ * bool * unit" :: finite
   710 
   711 * Command 'locale_deps' visualizes all locales and their relations as
   712 a Hasse diagram.
   713 
   714 
   715 *** HOL ***
   716 
   717 * Sledgehammer:
   718 
   719   - Added MaSh relevance filter based on machine-learning; see the
   720     Sledgehammer manual for details.
   721   - Polished Isar proofs generated with "isar_proofs" option.
   722   - Rationalized type encodings ("type_enc" option).
   723   - Renamed "kill_provers" subcommand to "kill_all".
   724   - Renamed options:
   725       isar_proof ~> isar_proofs
   726       isar_shrink_factor ~> isar_shrink
   727       max_relevant ~> max_facts
   728       relevance_thresholds ~> fact_thresholds
   729 
   730 * Quickcheck: added an optimisation for equality premises.  It is
   731 switched on by default, and can be switched off by setting the
   732 configuration quickcheck_optimise_equality to false.
   733 
   734 * Quotient: only one quotient can be defined by quotient_type
   735 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   736 
   737 * Lifting:
   738   - generation of an abstraction function equation in lift_definition
   739   - quot_del attribute
   740   - renamed no_abs_code -> no_code (INCOMPATIBILITY.)
   741 
   742 * Simproc "finite_Collect" rewrites set comprehensions into pointfree
   743 expressions.
   744 
   745 * Preprocessing of the code generator rewrites set comprehensions into
   746 pointfree expressions.
   747 
   748 * The SMT solver Z3 has now by default a restricted set of directly
   749 supported features. For the full set of features (div/mod, nonlinear
   750 arithmetic, datatypes/records) with potential proof reconstruction
   751 failures, enable the configuration option "z3_with_extensions".  Minor
   752 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   753 
   754 * Simplified 'typedef' specifications: historical options for implicit
   755 set definition and alternative name have been discontinued.  The
   756 former behavior of "typedef (open) t = A" is now the default, but
   757 written just "typedef t = A".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt theories
   758 accordingly.
   759 
   760 * Removed constant "chars"; prefer "Enum.enum" on type "char"
   761 directly.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   762 
   763 * Moved operation product, sublists and n_lists from theory Enum to
   764 List.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   765 
   766 * Theorem UN_o generalized to SUP_comp.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   767 
   768 * Class "comm_monoid_diff" formalises properties of bounded
   769 subtraction, with natural numbers and multisets as typical instances.
   770 
   771 * Added combinator "Option.these" with type "'a option set => 'a set".
   772 
   773 * Theory "Transitive_Closure": renamed lemmas
   774 
   775   reflcl_tranclp -> reflclp_tranclp
   776   rtranclp_reflcl -> rtranclp_reflclp
   777 
   778 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   779 
   780 * Theory "Rings": renamed lemmas (in class semiring)
   781 
   782   left_distrib ~> distrib_right
   783   right_distrib ~> distrib_left
   784 
   785 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   786 
   787 * Generalized the definition of limits:
   788 
   789   - Introduced the predicate filterlim (LIM x F. f x :> G) which
   790     expresses that when the input values x converge to F then the
   791     output f x converges to G.
   792 
   793   - Added filters for convergence to positive (at_top) and negative
   794     infinity (at_bot).
   795 
   796   - Moved infinity in the norm (at_infinity) from
   797     Multivariate_Analysis to Complex_Main.
   798 
   799   - Removed real_tendsto_inf, it is superseded by "LIM x F. f x :>
   800     at_top".
   801 
   802 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   803 
   804 * Theory "Library/Option_ord" provides instantiation of option type to
   805 lattice type classes.
   806 
   807 * Theory "Library/Multiset": renamed
   808 
   809     constant fold_mset ~> Multiset.fold
   810     fact fold_mset_commute ~> fold_mset_comm
   811 
   812 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   813 
   814 * Renamed theory Library/List_Prefix to Library/Sublist, with related
   815 changes as follows.
   816 
   817   - Renamed constants (and related lemmas)
   818 
   819       prefix ~> prefixeq
   820       strict_prefix ~> prefix
   821 
   822   - Replaced constant "postfix" by "suffixeq" with swapped argument
   823     order (i.e., "postfix xs ys" is now "suffixeq ys xs") and dropped
   824     old infix syntax "xs >>= ys"; use "suffixeq ys xs" instead.
   825     Renamed lemmas accordingly.
   826 
   827   - Added constant "list_hembeq" for homeomorphic embedding on
   828     lists. Added abbreviation "sublisteq" for special case
   829     "list_hembeq (op =)".
   830 
   831   - Theory Library/Sublist no longer provides "order" and "bot" type
   832     class instances for the prefix order (merely corresponding locale
   833     interpretations). The type class instances are now in theory
   834     Library/Prefix_Order.
   835 
   836   - The sublist relation of theory Library/Sublist_Order is now based
   837     on "Sublist.sublisteq".  Renamed lemmas accordingly:
   838 
   839       le_list_append_le_same_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append_le_same_iff
   840       le_list_append_mono ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_append_mono
   841       le_list_below_empty ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil, Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil2
   842       le_list_Cons_EX ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_ConsD
   843       le_list_drop_Cons2 ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2'
   844       le_list_drop_Cons_neq ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2_neq
   845       le_list_drop_Cons ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons'
   846       le_list_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_drop_many
   847       le_list_filter_left ~> Sublist.sublisteq_filter_left
   848       le_list_rev_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_rev_drop_many
   849       le_list_rev_take_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append
   850       le_list_same_length ~> Sublist.sublisteq_same_length
   851       le_list_take_many_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append'
   852       less_eq_list.drop ~> less_eq_list_drop
   853       less_eq_list.induct ~> less_eq_list_induct
   854       not_le_list_length ~> Sublist.not_sublisteq_length
   855 
   856 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   857 
   858 * New theory Library/Countable_Set.
   859 
   860 * Theory Library/Debug and Library/Parallel provide debugging and
   861 parallel execution for code generated towards Isabelle/ML.
   862 
   863 * Theory Library/FuncSet: Extended support for Pi and extensional and
   864 introduce the extensional dependent function space "PiE". Replaced
   865 extensional_funcset by an abbreviation, and renamed lemmas from
   866 extensional_funcset to PiE as follows:
   867 
   868   extensional_empty  ~>  PiE_empty
   869   extensional_funcset_empty_domain  ~>  PiE_empty_domain
   870   extensional_funcset_empty_range  ~>  PiE_empty_range
   871   extensional_funcset_arb  ~>  PiE_arb
   872   extensional_funcset_mem  ~>  PiE_mem
   873   extensional_funcset_extend_domainI  ~>  PiE_fun_upd
   874   extensional_funcset_restrict_domain  ~>  fun_upd_in_PiE
   875   extensional_funcset_extend_domain_eq  ~>  PiE_insert_eq
   876   card_extensional_funcset  ~>  card_PiE
   877   finite_extensional_funcset  ~>  finite_PiE
   878 
   879 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   880 
   881 * Theory Library/FinFun: theory of almost everywhere constant
   882 functions (supersedes the AFP entry "Code Generation for Functions as
   883 Data").
   884 
   885 * Theory Library/Phantom: generic phantom type to make a type
   886 parameter appear in a constant's type.  This alternative to adding
   887 TYPE('a) as another parameter avoids unnecessary closures in generated
   888 code.
   889 
   890 * Theory Library/RBT_Impl: efficient construction of red-black trees
   891 from sorted associative lists. Merging two trees with rbt_union may
   892 return a structurally different tree than before.  Potential
   893 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   894 
   895 * Theory Library/IArray: immutable arrays with code generation.
   896 
   897 * Theory Library/Finite_Lattice: theory of finite lattices.
   898 
   899 * HOL/Multivariate_Analysis: replaced
   900 
   901   "basis :: 'a::euclidean_space => nat => real"
   902   "\<Chi>\<Chi> :: (nat => real) => 'a::euclidean_space"
   903 
   904 on euclidean spaces by using the inner product "_ \<bullet> _" with
   905 vectors from the Basis set: "\<Chi>\<Chi> i. f i" is superseded by
   906 "SUM i : Basis. f i * r i".
   907 
   908   With this change the following constants are also changed or removed:
   909 
   910     DIM('a) :: nat  ~>  card (Basis :: 'a set)   (is an abbreviation)
   911     a $$ i  ~>  inner a i  (where i : Basis)
   912     cart_base i  removed
   913     \<pi>, \<pi>'  removed
   914 
   915   Theorems about these constants where removed.
   916 
   917   Renamed lemmas:
   918 
   919     component_le_norm  ~>  Basis_le_norm
   920     euclidean_eq  ~>  euclidean_eq_iff
   921     differential_zero_maxmin_component  ~>  differential_zero_maxmin_cart
   922     euclidean_simps  ~>  inner_simps
   923     independent_basis  ~>  independent_Basis
   924     span_basis  ~>  span_Basis
   925     in_span_basis  ~>  in_span_Basis
   926     norm_bound_component_le  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_le
   927     norm_bound_component_lt  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_lt
   928     component_le_infnorm  ~>  Basis_le_infnorm
   929 
   930 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   931 
   932 * HOL/Probability:
   933 
   934   - Added simproc "measurable" to automatically prove measurability.
   935 
   936   - Added induction rules for sigma sets with disjoint union
   937     (sigma_sets_induct_disjoint) and for Borel-measurable functions
   938     (borel_measurable_induct).
   939 
   940   - Added the Daniell-Kolmogorov theorem (the existence the limit of a
   941     projective family).
   942 
   943 * HOL/Cardinals: Theories of ordinals and cardinals (supersedes the
   944 AFP entry "Ordinals_and_Cardinals").
   945 
   946 * HOL/BNF: New (co)datatype package based on bounded natural functors
   947 with support for mixed, nested recursion and interesting non-free
   948 datatypes.
   949 
   950 * HOL/Finite_Set and Relation: added new set and relation operations
   951 expressed by Finite_Set.fold.
   952 
   953 * New theory HOL/Library/RBT_Set: implementation of sets by red-black
   954 trees for the code generator.
   955 
   956 * HOL/Library/RBT and HOL/Library/Mapping have been converted to
   957 Lifting/Transfer.
   958 possible INCOMPATIBILITY.
   959 
   960 * HOL/Set: renamed Set.project -> Set.filter
   961 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   962 
   963 
   964 *** Document preparation ***
   965 
   966 * Dropped legacy antiquotations "term_style" and "thm_style", since
   967 styles may be given as arguments to "term" and "thm" already.
   968 Discontinued legacy styles "prem1" .. "prem19".
   969 
   970 * Default LaTeX rendering for \<euro> is now based on eurosym package,
   971 instead of slightly exotic babel/greek.
   972 
   973 * Document variant NAME may use different LaTeX entry point
   974 document/root_NAME.tex if that file exists, instead of the common
   975 document/root.tex.
   976 
   977 * Simplified custom document/build script, instead of old-style
   978 document/IsaMakefile.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   979 
   980 
   981 *** ML ***
   982 
   983 * The default limit for maximum number of worker threads is now 8,
   984 instead of 4, in correspondence to capabilities of contemporary
   985 hardware and Poly/ML runtime system.
   986 
   987 * Type Seq.results and related operations support embedded error
   988 messages within lazy enumerations, and thus allow to provide
   989 informative errors in the absence of any usable results.
   990 
   991 * Renamed Position.str_of to Position.here to emphasize that this is a
   992 formal device to inline positions into message text, but not
   993 necessarily printing visible text.
   994 
   995 
   996 *** System ***
   997 
   998 * Advanced support for Isabelle sessions and build management, see
   999 "system" manual for the chapter of that name, especially the "isabelle
  1000 build" tool and its examples.  The "isabelle mkroot" tool prepares
  1001 session root directories for use with "isabelle build", similar to
  1002 former "isabelle mkdir" for "isabelle usedir".  Note that this affects
  1003 document preparation as well.  INCOMPATIBILITY, isabelle usedir /
  1004 mkdir / make are rendered obsolete.
  1005 
  1006 * Discontinued obsolete Isabelle/build script, it is superseded by the
  1007 regular isabelle build tool.  For example:
  1008 
  1009   isabelle build -s -b HOL
  1010 
  1011 * Discontinued obsolete "isabelle makeall".
  1012 
  1013 * Discontinued obsolete IsaMakefile and ROOT.ML files from the
  1014 Isabelle distribution, except for rudimentary src/HOL/IsaMakefile that
  1015 provides some traditional targets that invoke "isabelle build".  Note
  1016 that this is inefficient!  Applications of Isabelle/HOL involving
  1017 "isabelle make" should be upgraded to use "isabelle build" directly.
  1018 
  1019 * The "isabelle options" tool prints Isabelle system options, as
  1020 required for "isabelle build", for example.
  1021 
  1022 * The "isabelle logo" tool produces EPS and PDF format simultaneously.
  1023 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY in command-line options.
  1024 
  1025 * The "isabelle install" tool has now a simpler command-line.  Minor
  1026 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1027 
  1028 * The "isabelle components" tool helps to resolve add-on components
  1029 that are not bundled, or referenced from a bare-bones repository
  1030 version of Isabelle.
  1031 
  1032 * Settings variable ISABELLE_PLATFORM_FAMILY refers to the general
  1033 platform family: "linux", "macos", "windows".
  1034 
  1035 * The ML system is configured as regular component, and no longer
  1036 picked up from some surrounding directory.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  1037 for home-made settings.
  1038 
  1039 * Improved ML runtime statistics (heap, threads, future tasks etc.).
  1040 
  1041 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2.1, which was the last version
  1042 without exception positions and advanced ML compiler/toplevel
  1043 configuration.
  1044 
  1045 * Discontinued special treatment of Proof General -- no longer guess
  1046 PROOFGENERAL_HOME based on accidental file-system layout.  Minor
  1047 INCOMPATIBILITY: provide PROOFGENERAL_HOME and PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS
  1048 settings manually, or use a Proof General version that has been
  1049 bundled as Isabelle component.
  1050 
  1051 
  1052 
  1053 New in Isabelle2012 (May 2012)
  1054 ------------------------------
  1055 
  1056 *** General ***
  1057 
  1058 * Prover IDE (PIDE) improvements:
  1059 
  1060   - more robust Sledgehammer integration (as before the sledgehammer
  1061     command-line needs to be typed into the source buffer)
  1062   - markup for bound variables
  1063   - markup for types of term variables (displayed as tooltips)
  1064   - support for user-defined Isar commands within the running session
  1065   - improved support for Unicode outside original 16bit range
  1066     e.g. glyph for \<A> (thanks to jEdit 4.5.1)
  1067 
  1068 * Forward declaration of outer syntax keywords within the theory
  1069 header -- minor INCOMPATIBILITY for user-defined commands.  Allow new
  1070 commands to be used in the same theory where defined.
  1071 
  1072 * Auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for specifications with
  1073 additional parameters and assumptions.  Such unnamed contexts may be
  1074 nested within other targets, like 'theory', 'locale', 'class',
  1075 'instantiation' etc.  Results from the local context are generalized
  1076 accordingly and applied to the enclosing target context.  Example:
  1077 
  1078   context
  1079     fixes x y z :: 'a
  1080     assumes xy: "x = y" and yz: "y = z"
  1081   begin
  1082 
  1083   lemma my_trans: "x = z" using xy yz by simp
  1084 
  1085   end
  1086 
  1087   thm my_trans
  1088 
  1089 The most basic application is to factor-out context elements of
  1090 several fixes/assumes/shows theorem statements, e.g. see
  1091 ~~/src/HOL/Isar_Examples/Group_Context.thy
  1092 
  1093 Any other local theory specification element works within the "context
  1094 ... begin ... end" block as well.
  1095 
  1096 * Bundled declarations associate attributed fact expressions with a
  1097 given name in the context.  These may be later included in other
  1098 contexts.  This allows to manage context extensions casually, without
  1099 the logical dependencies of locales and locale interpretation.  See
  1100 commands 'bundle', 'include', 'including' etc. in the isar-ref manual.
  1101 
  1102 * Commands 'lemmas' and 'theorems' allow local variables using 'for'
  1103 declaration, and results are standardized before being stored.  Thus
  1104 old-style "standard" after instantiation or composition of facts
  1105 becomes obsolete.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, due to potential change of
  1106 indices of schematic variables.
  1107 
  1108 * Rule attributes in local theory declarations (e.g. locale or class)
  1109 are now statically evaluated: the resulting theorem is stored instead
  1110 of the original expression.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  1111 the historic accident of dynamic re-evaluation in interpretations
  1112 etc. was exploited.
  1113 
  1114 * New tutorial "Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL"
  1115 ("prog-prove").  It completely supersedes "A Tutorial Introduction to
  1116 Structured Isar Proofs" ("isar-overview"), which has been removed.  It
  1117 also supersedes "Isabelle/HOL, A Proof Assistant for Higher-Order
  1118 Logic" as the recommended beginners tutorial, but does not cover all
  1119 of the material of that old tutorial.
  1120 
  1121 * Updated and extended reference manuals: "isar-ref",
  1122 "implementation", "system"; reduced remaining material in old "ref"
  1123 manual.
  1124 
  1125 
  1126 *** Pure ***
  1127 
  1128 * Command 'definition' no longer exports the foundational "raw_def"
  1129 into the user context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, may use the regular
  1130 "def" result with attribute "abs_def" to imitate the old version.
  1131 
  1132 * Attribute "abs_def" turns an equation of the form "f x y == t" into
  1133 "f == %x y. t", which ensures that "simp" or "unfold" steps always
  1134 expand it.  This also works for object-logic equality.  (Formerly
  1135 undocumented feature.)
  1136 
  1137 * Sort constraints are now propagated in simultaneous statements, just
  1138 like type constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  1139 distinct sorts used to be assigned accidentally.  For example:
  1140 
  1141   lemma "P (x::'a::foo)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"  -- "now illegal"
  1142 
  1143   lemma "P (x::'a)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"
  1144     -- "now uniform 'a::bar instead of default sort for first occurrence (!)"
  1145 
  1146 * Rule composition via attribute "OF" (or ML functions OF/MRS) is more
  1147 tolerant against multiple unifiers, as long as the final result is
  1148 unique.  (As before, rules are composed in canonical right-to-left
  1149 order to accommodate newly introduced premises.)
  1150 
  1151 * Renamed some inner syntax categories:
  1152 
  1153     num ~> num_token
  1154     xnum ~> xnum_token
  1155     xstr ~> str_token
  1156 
  1157 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that in practice "num_const" or
  1158 "num_position" etc. are mainly used instead (which also include
  1159 position information via constraints).
  1160 
  1161 * Simplified configuration options for syntax ambiguity: see
  1162 "syntax_ambiguity_warning" and "syntax_ambiguity_limit" in isar-ref
  1163 manual.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1164 
  1165 * Discontinued configuration option "syntax_positions": atomic terms
  1166 in parse trees are always annotated by position constraints.
  1167 
  1168 * Old code generator for SML and its commands 'code_module',
  1169 'code_library', 'consts_code', 'types_code' have been discontinued.
  1170 Use commands of the generic code generator instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1171 
  1172 * Redundant attribute "code_inline" has been discontinued. Use
  1173 "code_unfold" instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1174 
  1175 * Dropped attribute "code_unfold_post" in favor of the its dual
  1176 "code_abbrev", which yields a common pattern in definitions like
  1177 
  1178   definition [code_abbrev]: "f = t"
  1179 
  1180 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1181 
  1182 * Obsolete 'types' command has been discontinued.  Use 'type_synonym'
  1183 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1184 
  1185 * Discontinued old "prems" fact, which used to refer to the accidental
  1186 collection of foundational premises in the context (already marked as
  1187 legacy since Isabelle2011).
  1188 
  1189 
  1190 *** HOL ***
  1191 
  1192 * Type 'a set is now a proper type constructor (just as before
  1193 Isabelle2008).  Definitions mem_def and Collect_def have disappeared.
  1194 Non-trivial INCOMPATIBILITY.  For developments keeping predicates and
  1195 sets separate, it is often sufficient to rephrase some set S that has
  1196 been accidentally used as predicates by "%x. x : S", and some
  1197 predicate P that has been accidentally used as set by "{x. P x}".
  1198 Corresponding proofs in a first step should be pruned from any
  1199 tinkering with former theorems mem_def and Collect_def as far as
  1200 possible.
  1201 
  1202 For developments which deliberately mix predicates and sets, a
  1203 planning step is necessary to determine what should become a predicate
  1204 and what a set.  It can be helpful to carry out that step in
  1205 Isabelle2011-1 before jumping right into the current release.
  1206 
  1207 * Code generation by default implements sets as container type rather
  1208 than predicates.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1209 
  1210 * New type synonym 'a rel = ('a * 'a) set
  1211 
  1212 * The representation of numerals has changed.  Datatype "num"
  1213 represents strictly positive binary numerals, along with functions
  1214 "numeral :: num => 'a" and "neg_numeral :: num => 'a" to represent
  1215 positive and negated numeric literals, respectively.  See also
  1216 definitions in ~~/src/HOL/Num.thy.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, some
  1217 user theories may require adaptations as follows:
  1218 
  1219   - Theorems with number_ring or number_semiring constraints: These
  1220     classes are gone; use comm_ring_1 or comm_semiring_1 instead.
  1221 
  1222   - Theories defining numeric types: Remove number, number_semiring,
  1223     and number_ring instances. Defer all theorems about numerals until
  1224     after classes one and semigroup_add have been instantiated.
  1225 
  1226   - Numeral-only simp rules: Replace each rule having a "number_of v"
  1227     pattern with two copies, one for numeral and one for neg_numeral.
  1228 
  1229   - Theorems about subclasses of semiring_1 or ring_1: These classes
  1230     automatically support numerals now, so more simp rules and
  1231     simprocs may now apply within the proof.
  1232 
  1233   - Definitions and theorems using old constructors Pls/Min/Bit0/Bit1:
  1234     Redefine using other integer operations.
  1235 
  1236 * Transfer: New package intended to generalize the existing
  1237 "descending" method and related theorem attributes from the Quotient
  1238 package.  (Not all functionality is implemented yet, but future
  1239 development will focus on Transfer as an eventual replacement for the
  1240 corresponding parts of the Quotient package.)
  1241 
  1242   - transfer_rule attribute: Maintains a collection of transfer rules,
  1243     which relate constants at two different types. Transfer rules may
  1244     relate different type instances of the same polymorphic constant,
  1245     or they may relate an operation on a raw type to a corresponding
  1246     operation on an abstract type (quotient or subtype). For example:
  1247 
  1248     ((A ===> B) ===> list_all2 A ===> list_all2 B) map map
  1249     (cr_int ===> cr_int ===> cr_int) (%(x,y) (u,v). (x+u, y+v)) plus_int
  1250 
  1251   - transfer method: Replaces a subgoal on abstract types with an
  1252     equivalent subgoal on the corresponding raw types. Constants are
  1253     replaced with corresponding ones according to the transfer rules.
  1254     Goals are generalized over all free variables by default; this is
  1255     necessary for variables whose types change, but can be overridden
  1256     for specific variables with e.g. "transfer fixing: x y z".  The
  1257     variant transfer' method allows replacing a subgoal with one that
  1258     is logically stronger (rather than equivalent).
  1259 
  1260   - relator_eq attribute: Collects identity laws for relators of
  1261     various type constructors, e.g. "list_all2 (op =) = (op =)".  The
  1262     transfer method uses these lemmas to infer transfer rules for
  1263     non-polymorphic constants on the fly.
  1264 
  1265   - transfer_prover method: Assists with proving a transfer rule for a
  1266     new constant, provided the constant is defined in terms of other
  1267     constants that already have transfer rules. It should be applied
  1268     after unfolding the constant definitions.
  1269 
  1270   - HOL/ex/Transfer_Int_Nat.thy: Example theory demonstrating transfer
  1271     from type nat to type int.
  1272 
  1273 * Lifting: New package intended to generalize the quotient_definition
  1274 facility of the Quotient package; designed to work with Transfer.
  1275 
  1276   - lift_definition command: Defines operations on an abstract type in
  1277     terms of a corresponding operation on a representation
  1278     type.  Example syntax:
  1279 
  1280     lift_definition dlist_insert :: "'a => 'a dlist => 'a dlist"
  1281       is List.insert
  1282 
  1283     Users must discharge a respectfulness proof obligation when each
  1284     constant is defined. (For a type copy, i.e. a typedef with UNIV,
  1285     the proof is discharged automatically.) The obligation is
  1286     presented in a user-friendly, readable form; a respectfulness
  1287     theorem in the standard format and a transfer rule are generated
  1288     by the package.
  1289 
  1290   - Integration with code_abstype: For typedefs (e.g. subtypes
  1291     corresponding to a datatype invariant, such as dlist),
  1292     lift_definition generates a code certificate theorem and sets up
  1293     code generation for each constant.
  1294 
  1295   - setup_lifting command: Sets up the Lifting package to work with a
  1296     user-defined type. The user must provide either a quotient theorem
  1297     or a type_definition theorem.  The package configures transfer
  1298     rules for equality and quantifiers on the type, and sets up the
  1299     lift_definition command to work with the type.
  1300 
  1301   - Usage examples: See Quotient_Examples/Lift_DList.thy,
  1302     Quotient_Examples/Lift_RBT.thy, Quotient_Examples/Lift_FSet.thy,
  1303     Word/Word.thy and Library/Float.thy.
  1304 
  1305 * Quotient package:
  1306 
  1307   - The 'quotient_type' command now supports a 'morphisms' option with
  1308     rep and abs functions, similar to typedef.
  1309 
  1310   - 'quotient_type' sets up new types to work with the Lifting and
  1311     Transfer packages, as with 'setup_lifting'.
  1312 
  1313   - The 'quotient_definition' command now requires the user to prove a
  1314     respectfulness property at the point where the constant is
  1315     defined, similar to lift_definition; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1316 
  1317   - Renamed predicate 'Quotient' to 'Quotient3', and renamed theorems
  1318     accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1319 
  1320 * New diagnostic command 'find_unused_assms' to find potentially
  1321 superfluous assumptions in theorems using Quickcheck.
  1322 
  1323 * Quickcheck:
  1324 
  1325   - Quickcheck returns variable assignments as counterexamples, which
  1326     allows to reveal the underspecification of functions under test.
  1327     For example, refuting "hd xs = x", it presents the variable
  1328     assignment xs = [] and x = a1 as a counterexample, assuming that
  1329     any property is false whenever "hd []" occurs in it.
  1330 
  1331     These counterexample are marked as potentially spurious, as
  1332     Quickcheck also returns "xs = []" as a counterexample to the
  1333     obvious theorem "hd xs = hd xs".
  1334 
  1335     After finding a potentially spurious counterexample, Quickcheck
  1336     continues searching for genuine ones.
  1337 
  1338     By default, Quickcheck shows potentially spurious and genuine
  1339     counterexamples. The option "genuine_only" sets quickcheck to only
  1340     show genuine counterexamples.
  1341 
  1342   - The command 'quickcheck_generator' creates random and exhaustive
  1343     value generators for a given type and operations.
  1344 
  1345     It generates values by using the operations as if they were
  1346     constructors of that type.
  1347 
  1348   - Support for multisets.
  1349 
  1350   - Added "use_subtype" options.
  1351 
  1352   - Added "quickcheck_locale" configuration to specify how to process
  1353     conjectures in a locale context.
  1354 
  1355 * Nitpick: Fixed infinite loop caused by the 'peephole_optim' option
  1356 and affecting 'rat' and 'real'.
  1357 
  1358 * Sledgehammer:
  1359   - Integrated more tightly with SPASS, as described in the ITP 2012
  1360     paper "More SPASS with Isabelle".
  1361   - Made it try "smt" as a fallback if "metis" fails or times out.
  1362   - Added support for the following provers: Alt-Ergo (via Why3 and
  1363     TFF1), iProver, iProver-Eq.
  1364   - Sped up the minimizer.
  1365   - Added "lam_trans", "uncurry_aliases", and "minimize" options.
  1366   - Renamed "slicing" ("no_slicing") option to "slice" ("dont_slice").
  1367   - Renamed "sound" option to "strict".
  1368 
  1369 * Metis: Added possibility to specify lambda translations scheme as a
  1370 parenthesized argument (e.g., "by (metis (lifting) ...)").
  1371 
  1372 * SMT: Renamed "smt_fixed" option to "smt_read_only_certificates".
  1373 
  1374 * Command 'try0': Renamed from 'try_methods'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1375 
  1376 * New "case_product" attribute to generate a case rule doing multiple
  1377 case distinctions at the same time.  E.g.
  1378 
  1379   list.exhaust [case_product nat.exhaust]
  1380 
  1381 produces a rule which can be used to perform case distinction on both
  1382 a list and a nat.
  1383 
  1384 * New "eventually_elim" method as a generalized variant of the
  1385 eventually_elim* rules.  Supports structured proofs.
  1386 
  1387 * Typedef with implicit set definition is considered legacy.  Use
  1388 "typedef (open)" form instead, which will eventually become the
  1389 default.
  1390 
  1391 * Record: code generation can be switched off manually with
  1392 
  1393   declare [[record_coden = false]]  -- "default true"
  1394 
  1395 * Datatype: type parameters allow explicit sort constraints.
  1396 
  1397 * Concrete syntax for case expressions includes constraints for source
  1398 positions, and thus produces Prover IDE markup for its bindings.
  1399 INCOMPATIBILITY for old-style syntax translations that augment the
  1400 pattern notation; e.g. see src/HOL/HOLCF/One.thy for translations of
  1401 one_case.
  1402 
  1403 * Clarified attribute "mono_set": pure declaration without modifying
  1404 the result of the fact expression.
  1405 
  1406 * More default pred/set conversions on a couple of relation operations
  1407 and predicates.  Added powers of predicate relations.  Consolidation
  1408 of some relation theorems:
  1409 
  1410   converse_def ~> converse_unfold
  1411   rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
  1412   symp_def ~> (modified, use symp_def and sym_def instead)
  1413   transp_def ~> transp_trans
  1414   Domain_def ~> Domain_unfold
  1415   Range_def ~> Domain_converse [symmetric]
  1416 
  1417 Generalized theorems INF_INT_eq, INF_INT_eq2, SUP_UN_eq, SUP_UN_eq2.
  1418 
  1419 See theory "Relation" for examples for making use of pred/set
  1420 conversions by means of attributes "to_set" and "to_pred".
  1421 
  1422 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1423 
  1424 * Renamed facts about the power operation on relations, i.e., relpow
  1425 to match the constant's name:
  1426 
  1427   rel_pow_1 ~> relpow_1
  1428   rel_pow_0_I ~> relpow_0_I

  1452 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1453 
  1454 * Theory Relation: Consolidated constant name for relation composition
  1455 and corresponding theorem names:
  1456 
  1457   - Renamed constant rel_comp to relcomp.
  1458 
  1459   - Dropped abbreviation pred_comp. Use relcompp instead.
  1460 
  1461   - Renamed theorems:

  1737 * Theory HOL/Library/Float: Floating point numbers are now defined as
  1738 a subset of the real numbers.  All operations are defined using the
  1739 lifing-framework and proofs use the transfer method.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1740 
  1741   Changed Operations:

  1750   Removed Operations:

  1801 
  1802 * New theory HOL/Library/DAList provides an abstract type for
  1803 association lists with distinct keys.
  1804 
  1805 * Session HOL/IMP: Added new theory of abstract interpretation of
  1806 annotated commands.
  1807 
  1808 * Session HOL-Import: Re-implementation from scratch is faster,
  1809 simpler, and more scalable.  Requires a proof bundle, which is
  1810 available as an external component.  Discontinued old (and mostly
  1811 dead) Importer for HOL4 and HOL Light.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1812 
  1813 * Session HOL-Word: Discontinued many redundant theorems specific to
  1814 type 'a word. INCOMPATIBILITY, use the corresponding generic theorems
  1815 instead.

  1859 * Session HOL-Word: New proof method "word_bitwise" for splitting
  1860 machine word equalities and inequalities into logical circuits,
  1861 defined in HOL/Word/WordBitwise.thy.  Supports addition, subtraction,
  1862 multiplication, shifting by constants, bitwise operators and numeric
  1863 constants.  Requires fixed-length word types, not 'a word.  Solves
  1864 many standard word identities outright and converts more into first
  1865 order problems amenable to blast or similar.  See also examples in
  1866 HOL/Word/Examples/WordExamples.thy.
  1867 
  1868 * Session HOL-Probability: Introduced the type "'a measure" to
  1869 represent measures, this replaces the records 'a algebra and 'a
  1870 measure_space.  The locales based on subset_class now have two
  1871 locale-parameters the space \<Omega> and the set of measurable sets M.
  1872 The product of probability spaces uses now the same constant as the
  1873 finite product of sigma-finite measure spaces "PiM :: ('i => 'a)
  1874 measure".  Most constants are defined now outside of locales and gain
  1875 an additional parameter, like null_sets, almost_eventually or \<mu>'.
  1876 Measure space constructions for distributions and densities now got
  1877 their own constants distr and density.  Instead of using locales to
  1878 describe measure spaces with a finite space, the measure count_space
  1879 and point_measure is introduced.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  1906   joint_distribution -> use distr measure, or distributed predicate

  2041 * Session HOL-TPTP: support to parse and import TPTP problems (all
  2042 languages) into Isabelle/HOL.
  2043 
  2044 
  2045 *** FOL ***
  2046 
  2047 * New "case_product" attribute (see HOL).
  2048 
  2049 
  2050 *** ZF ***
  2051 
  2052 * Greater support for structured proofs involving induction or case
  2053 analysis.
  2054 
  2055 * Much greater use of mathematical symbols.
  2056 
  2057 * Removal of many ML theorem bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2058 
  2059 
  2060 *** ML ***
  2061 
  2062 * Antiquotation @{keyword "name"} produces a parser for outer syntax
  2063 from a minor keyword introduced via theory header declaration.
  2064 
  2065 * Antiquotation @{command_spec "name"} produces the
  2066 Outer_Syntax.command_spec from a major keyword introduced via theory
  2067 header declaration; it can be passed to Outer_Syntax.command etc.
  2068 
  2069 * Local_Theory.define no longer hard-wires default theorem name
  2070 "foo_def", but retains the binding as given.  If that is Binding.empty
  2071 / Attrib.empty_binding, the result is not registered as user-level
  2072 fact.  The Local_Theory.define_internal variant allows to specify a
  2073 non-empty name (used for the foundation in the background theory),
  2074 while omitting the fact binding in the user-context.  Potential
  2075 INCOMPATIBILITY for derived definitional packages: need to specify
  2076 naming policy for primitive definitions more explicitly.
  2077 
  2078 * Renamed Thm.capply to Thm.apply, and Thm.cabs to Thm.lambda in
  2079 conformance with similar operations in structure Term and Logic.
  2080 
  2081 * Antiquotation @{attributes [...]} embeds attribute source
  2082 representation into the ML text, which is particularly useful with
  2083 declarations like Local_Theory.note.
  2084 
  2085 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  2086 ProofContext has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2087 
  2088 * Refined Local_Theory.declaration {syntax, pervasive}, with subtle
  2089 change of semantics: update is applied to auxiliary local theory
  2090 context as well.
  2091 
  2092 * Modernized some old-style infix operations:
  2093 
  2094   addeqcongs    ~> Simplifier.add_eqcong
  2095   deleqcongs    ~> Simplifier.del_eqcong
  2096   addcongs      ~> Simplifier.add_cong
  2097   delcongs      ~> Simplifier.del_cong
  2098   setmksimps    ~> Simplifier.set_mksimps
  2099   setmkcong     ~> Simplifier.set_mkcong
  2100   setmksym      ~> Simplifier.set_mksym
  2101   setmkeqTrue   ~> Simplifier.set_mkeqTrue
  2102   settermless   ~> Simplifier.set_termless
  2103   setsubgoaler  ~> Simplifier.set_subgoaler
  2104   addsplits     ~> Splitter.add_split
  2105   delsplits     ~> Splitter.del_split
  2106 
  2107 
  2108 *** System ***
  2109 
  2110 * USER_HOME settings variable points to cross-platform user home
  2111 directory, which coincides with HOME on POSIX systems only.  Likewise,
  2112 the Isabelle path specification "~" now expands to $USER_HOME, instead
  2113 of former $HOME.  A different default for USER_HOME may be set
  2114 explicitly in shell environment, before Isabelle settings are
  2115 evaluated.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: need to adapt Isabelle path where
  2116 the generic user home was intended.
  2117 
  2118 * ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS refers to ISABELLE_HOME in windows file name
  2119 notation, which is useful for the jEdit file browser, for example.
  2120 
  2121 * ISABELLE_JDK_HOME settings variable points to JDK with javac and jar
  2122 (not just JRE).
  2123 
  2124 
  2125 
  2126 New in Isabelle2011-1 (October 2011)
  2127 ------------------------------------
  2128 
  2129 *** General ***
  2130 
  2131 * Improved Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE (PIDE), which can be invoked as
  2132 "isabelle jedit" or "ISABELLE_HOME/Isabelle" on the command line.
  2133 
  2134   - Management of multiple theory files directly from the editor
  2135     buffer store -- bypassing the file-system (no requirement to save
  2136     files for checking).
  2137 
  2138   - Markup of formal entities within the text buffer, with semantic
  2139     highlighting, tooltips and hyperlinks to jump to defining source
  2140     positions.
  2141 
  2142   - Improved text rendering, with sub/superscripts in the source
  2143     buffer (including support for copy/paste wrt. output panel, HTML
  2144     theory output and other non-Isabelle text boxes).
  2145 
  2146   - Refined scheduling of proof checking and printing of results,
  2147     based on interactive editor view.  (Note: jEdit folding and
  2148     narrowing allows to restrict buffer perspectives explicitly.)
  2149 
  2150   - Reduced CPU performance requirements, usable on machines with few
  2151     cores.
  2152 
  2153   - Reduced memory requirements due to pruning of unused document
  2154     versions (garbage collection).
  2155 
  2156 See also ~~/src/Tools/jEdit/README.html for further information,
  2157 including some remaining limitations.
  2158 
  2159 * Theory loader: source files are exclusively located via the master
  2160 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  2161 The global load path (such as src/HOL/Library) has been discontinued.
  2162 Note that the path element ~~ may be used to reference theories in the
  2163 Isabelle home folder -- for instance, "~~/src/HOL/Library/FuncSet".
  2164 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2165 
  2166 * Theory loader: source files are identified by content via SHA1
  2167 digests.  Discontinued former path/modtime identification and optional
  2168 ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT plugin scripts.
  2169 
  2170 * Parallelization of nested Isar proofs is subject to
  2171 Goal.parallel_proofs_threshold (default 100).  See also isabelle
  2172 usedir option -Q.
  2173 
  2174 * Name space: former unsynchronized references are now proper
  2175 configuration options, with more conventional names:
  2176 
  2177   long_names   ~> names_long
  2178   short_names  ~> names_short
  2179   unique_names ~> names_unique
  2180 
  2181 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, need to declare options in context like this:
  2182 
  2183   declare [[names_unique = false]]
  2184 
  2185 * Literal facts `prop` may contain dummy patterns, e.g. `_ = _`.  Note
  2186 that the result needs to be unique, which means fact specifications
  2187 may have to be refined after enriching a proof context.
  2188 
  2189 * Attribute "case_names" has been refined: the assumptions in each case
  2190 can be named now by following the case name with [name1 name2 ...].
  2191 
  2192 * Isabelle/Isar reference manual has been updated and extended:
  2193   - "Synopsis" provides a catalog of main Isar language concepts.
  2194   - Formal references in syntax diagrams, via @{rail} antiquotation.
  2195   - Updated material from classic "ref" manual, notably about
  2196     "Classical Reasoner".
  2197 
  2198 
  2199 *** HOL ***
  2200 
  2201 * Class bot and top require underlying partial order rather than
  2202 preorder: uniqueness of bot and top is guaranteed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2203 
  2204 * Class complete_lattice: generalized a couple of lemmas from sets;
  2205 generalized theorems INF_cong and SUP_cong.  New type classes for
  2206 complete boolean algebras and complete linear orders.  Lemmas
  2207 Inf_less_iff, less_Sup_iff, INF_less_iff, less_SUP_iff now reside in
  2208 class complete_linorder.
  2209 
  2210 Changed proposition of lemmas Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, Inf_fun_def,
  2211 Sup_fun_def, Inf_apply, Sup_apply.
  2212 
  2213 Removed redundant lemmas (the right hand side gives hints how to
  2214 replace them for (metis ...), or (simp only: ...) proofs):
  2215 
  2216   Inf_singleton ~> Inf_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Inf_empty inf_top_right]
  2217   Sup_singleton ~> Sup_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Sup_empty sup_bot_right]
  2218   Inf_binary ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  2219   Sup_binary ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  2220   Int_eq_Inter ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  2221   Un_eq_Union ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  2222   Inter_def ~> INF_def, image_def
  2223   Union_def ~> SUP_def, image_def
  2224   INT_eq ~> INF_def, and image_def
  2225   UN_eq ~> SUP_def, and image_def
  2226   INF_subset ~> INF_superset_mono [OF _ order_refl]
  2227 
  2228 More consistent and comprehensive names:
  2229 
  2230   INTER_eq_Inter_image ~> INF_def
  2231   UNION_eq_Union_image ~> SUP_def
  2232   INFI_def ~> INF_def
  2233   SUPR_def ~> SUP_def
  2234   INF_leI ~> INF_lower
  2235   INF_leI2 ~> INF_lower2
  2236   le_INFI ~> INF_greatest
  2237   le_SUPI ~> SUP_upper
  2238   le_SUPI2 ~> SUP_upper2
  2239   SUP_leI ~> SUP_least
  2240   INFI_bool_eq ~> INF_bool_eq
  2241   SUPR_bool_eq ~> SUP_bool_eq
  2242   INFI_apply ~> INF_apply
  2243   SUPR_apply ~> SUP_apply
  2244   INTER_def ~> INTER_eq
  2245   UNION_def ~> UNION_eq
  2246 
  2247 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2248 
  2249 * Renamed theory Complete_Lattice to Complete_Lattices.
  2250 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2251 
  2252 * Theory Complete_Lattices: lemmas Inf_eq_top_iff, INF_eq_top_iff,
  2253 INF_image, Inf_insert, INF_top, Inf_top_conv, INF_top_conv, SUP_bot,
  2254 Sup_bot_conv, SUP_bot_conv, Sup_eq_top_iff, SUP_eq_top_iff, SUP_image,
  2255 Sup_insert are now declared as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2256 
  2257 * Theory Lattice: lemmas compl_inf_bot, compl_le_comp_iff,
  2258 compl_sup_top, inf_idem, inf_left_idem, inf_sup_absorb, sup_idem,
  2259 sup_inf_absob, sup_left_idem are now declared as [simp].  Minor
  2260 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2261 
  2262 * Added syntactic classes "inf" and "sup" for the respective
  2263 constants.  INCOMPATIBILITY: Changes in the argument order of the
  2264 (mostly internal) locale predicates for some derived classes.
  2265 
  2266 * Theorem collections ball_simps and bex_simps do not contain theorems
  2267 referring to UNION any longer; these have been moved to collection
  2268 UN_ball_bex_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2269 
  2270 * Theory Archimedean_Field: floor now is defined as parameter of a
  2271 separate type class floor_ceiling.
  2272 
  2273 * Theory Finite_Set: more coherent development of fold_set locales:
  2274 
  2275     locale fun_left_comm ~> locale comp_fun_commute
  2276     locale fun_left_comm_idem ~> locale comp_fun_idem
  2277 
  2278 Both use point-free characterization; interpretation proofs may need
  2279 adjustment.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2280 
  2281 * Theory Limits: Type "'a net" has been renamed to "'a filter", in
  2282 accordance with standard mathematical terminology. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2283 
  2284 * Theory Complex_Main: The locale interpretations for the
  2285 bounded_linear and bounded_bilinear locales have been removed, in
  2286 order to reduce the number of duplicate lemmas. Users must use the
  2287 original names for distributivity theorems, potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2382 
  2383 * Theory Complex_Main: The definition of infinite series was
  2384 generalized.  Now it is defined on the type class {topological_space,
  2385 comm_monoid_add}.  Hence it is useable also for extended real numbers.
  2386 
  2387 * Theory Complex_Main: The complex exponential function "expi" is now
  2388 a type-constrained abbreviation for "exp :: complex => complex"; thus
  2389 several polymorphic lemmas about "exp" are now applicable to "expi".
  2390 
  2391 * Code generation:
  2392 
  2393   - Theory Library/Code_Char_ord provides native ordering of
  2394     characters in the target language.
  2395 
  2396   - Commands code_module and code_library are legacy, use export_code
  2397     instead.
  2398 
  2399   - Method "evaluation" is legacy, use method "eval" instead.
  2400 
  2401   - Legacy evaluator "SML" is deactivated by default.  May be
  2402     reactivated by the following theory command:
  2403 
  2404       setup {* Value.add_evaluator ("SML", Codegen.eval_term) *}
  2405 
  2406 * Declare ext [intro] by default.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2407 
  2408 * New proof method "induction" that gives induction hypotheses the
  2409 name "IH", thus distinguishing them from further hypotheses that come
  2410 from rule induction.  The latter are still called "hyps".  Method
  2411 "induction" is a thin wrapper around "induct" and follows the same
  2412 syntax.
  2413 
  2414 * Method "fastsimp" has been renamed to "fastforce", but "fastsimp" is
  2415 still available as a legacy feature for some time.
  2416 
  2417 * Nitpick:
  2418   - Added "need" and "total_consts" options.
  2419   - Reintroduced "show_skolems" option by popular demand.
  2420   - Renamed attribute: nitpick_def ~> nitpick_unfold.
  2421     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2422 
  2423 * Sledgehammer:
  2424   - Use quasi-sound (and efficient) translations by default.
  2425   - Added support for the following provers: E-ToFoF, LEO-II,
  2426     Satallax, SNARK, Waldmeister, and Z3 with TPTP syntax.
  2427   - Automatically preplay and minimize proofs before showing them if
  2428     this can be done within reasonable time.
  2429   - sledgehammer available_provers ~> sledgehammer supported_provers.
  2430     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2431   - Added "preplay_timeout", "slicing", "type_enc", "sound",
  2432     "max_mono_iters", and "max_new_mono_instances" options.
  2433   - Removed "explicit_apply" and "full_types" options as well as "Full
  2434     Types" Proof General menu item. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2435 
  2436 * Metis:
  2437   - Removed "metisF" -- use "metis" instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2438   - Obsoleted "metisFT" -- use "metis (full_types)" instead.
  2439     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2440 
  2441 * Command 'try':
  2442   - Renamed 'try_methods' and added "simp:", "intro:", "dest:", and
  2443     "elim:" options. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2444   - Introduced 'try' that not only runs 'try_methods' but also
  2445     'solve_direct', 'sledgehammer', 'quickcheck', and 'nitpick'.
  2446 
  2447 * Quickcheck:
  2448   - Added "eval" option to evaluate terms for the found counterexample
  2449     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  2450   - Added post-processing of terms to obtain readable counterexamples
  2451     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  2452   - New counterexample generator quickcheck[narrowing] enables
  2453     narrowing-based testing.  Requires the Glasgow Haskell compiler
  2454     with its installation location defined in the Isabelle settings
  2455     environment as ISABELLE_GHC.
  2456   - Removed quickcheck tester "SML" based on the SML code generator
  2457     (formly in HOL/Library).
  2458 
  2459 * Function package: discontinued option "tailrec".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  2460 use 'partial_function' instead.
  2461 
  2462 * Theory Library/Extended_Reals replaces now the positive extended
  2463 reals found in probability theory. This file is extended by
  2464 Multivariate_Analysis/Extended_Real_Limits.
  2465 
  2466 * Theory Library/Old_Recdef: old 'recdef' package has been moved here,
  2467 from where it must be imported explicitly if it is really required.
  2468 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2469 
  2470 * Theory Library/Wfrec: well-founded recursion combinator "wfrec" has
  2471 been moved here.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2472 
  2473 * Theory Library/Saturated provides type of numbers with saturated
  2474 arithmetic.
  2475 
  2476 * Theory Library/Product_Lattice defines a pointwise ordering for the
  2477 product type 'a * 'b, and provides instance proofs for various order
  2478 and lattice type classes.
  2479 
  2480 * Theory Library/Countable now provides the "countable_datatype" proof
  2481 method for proving "countable" class instances for datatypes.
  2482 
  2483 * Theory Library/Cset_Monad allows do notation for computable sets
  2484 (cset) via the generic monad ad-hoc overloading facility.
  2485 
  2486 * Library: Theories of common data structures are split into theories
  2487 for implementation, an invariant-ensuring type, and connection to an
  2488 abstract type. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2489 
  2490   - RBT is split into RBT and RBT_Mapping.
  2491   - AssocList is split and renamed into AList and AList_Mapping.
  2492   - DList is split into DList_Impl, DList, and DList_Cset.
  2493   - Cset is split into Cset and List_Cset.
  2494 
  2495 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity has been renamed to
  2496 Library/Extended_Nat, with name changes of the following types and

  2504 
  2505 Every theorem name containing "inat", "Fin", "Infty", or "iSuc" has
  2506 been renamed accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2507 
  2508 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: The euclidean_space type class now
  2509 fixes a constant "Basis :: 'a set" consisting of the standard
  2510 orthonormal basis for the type. Users now have the option of
  2511 quantifying over this set instead of using the "basis" function, e.g.
  2512 "ALL x:Basis. P x" vs "ALL i<DIM('a). P (basis i)".
  2513 
  2514 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Type "('a, 'b) cart" has been renamed
  2515 to "('a, 'b) vec" (the syntax "'a ^ 'b" remains unaffected). Constants
  2516 "Cart_nth" and "Cart_lambda" have been respectively renamed to
  2517 "vec_nth" and "vec_lambda"; theorems mentioning those names have
  2518 changed to match. Definition theorems for overloaded constants now use
  2519 the standard "foo_vec_def" naming scheme. A few other theorems have
  2520 been renamed as follows (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  2521 
  2522   Cart_eq          ~> vec_eq_iff
  2523   dist_nth_le_cart ~> dist_vec_nth_le

  2525   Cauchy_vector    ~> vec_CauchyI
  2526 
  2527 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Several duplicate theorems have been
  2528 removed, and other theorems have been renamed or replaced with more
  2529 general versions. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2584   - Caratheodory's extension lemma is now proved for ring_of_sets.
  2585   - Infinite products of probability measures are now available.
  2586   - Sigma closure is independent, if the generator is independent
  2587   - Use extended reals instead of positive extended
  2588     reals. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2619 *** Document preparation ***
  2620 
  2621 * Antiquotation @{rail} layouts railroad syntax diagrams, see also
  2622 isar-ref manual, both for description and actual application of the
  2623 same.
  2624 
  2625 * Antiquotation @{value} evaluates the given term and presents its
  2626 result.
  2627 
  2628 * Antiquotations: term style "isub" provides ad-hoc conversion of
  2629 variables x1, y23 into subscripted form x\<^isub>1,
  2630 y\<^isub>2\<^isub>3.
  2631 
  2632 * Predefined LaTeX macros for Isabelle symbols \<bind> and \<then>
  2633 (e.g. see ~~/src/HOL/Library/Monad_Syntax.thy).
  2634 
  2635 * Localized \isabellestyle switch can be used within blocks or groups
  2636 like this:
  2637 
  2638   \isabellestyle{it}  %preferred default
  2639   {\isabellestylett @{text "typewriter stuff"}}
  2640 
  2641 * Discontinued special treatment of hard tabulators.  Implicit
  2642 tab-width is now defined as 1.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for visual
  2643 layouts.
  2644 
  2645 
  2646 *** ML ***
  2647 
  2648 * The inner syntax of sort/type/term/prop supports inlined YXML
  2649 representations within quoted string tokens.  By encoding logical
  2650 entities via Term_XML (in ML or Scala) concrete syntax can be
  2651 bypassed, which is particularly useful for producing bits of text
  2652 under external program control.
  2653 
  2654 * Antiquotations for ML and document preparation are managed as theory
  2655 data, which requires explicit setup.
  2656 
  2657 * Isabelle_Process.is_active allows tools to check if the official
  2658 process wrapper is running (Isabelle/Scala/jEdit) or the old TTY loop
  2659 (better known as Proof General).
  2660 
  2661 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  2662 ProofContext is still available for some time as legacy alias.
  2663 
  2664 * Structure Timing provides various operations for timing; supersedes
  2665 former start_timing/end_timing etc.
  2666 
  2667 * Path.print is the official way to show file-system paths to users
  2668 (including quotes etc.).
  2669 
  2670 * Inner syntax: identifiers in parse trees of generic categories
  2671 "logic", "aprop", "idt" etc. carry position information (disguised as
  2672 type constraints).  Occasional INCOMPATIBILITY with non-compliant
  2673 translations that choke on unexpected type constraints.  Positions can
  2674 be stripped in ML translations via Syntax.strip_positions /
  2675 Syntax.strip_positions_ast, or via the syntax constant
  2676 "_strip_positions" within parse trees.  As last resort, positions can
  2677 be disabled via the configuration option Syntax.positions, which is
  2678 called "syntax_positions" in Isar attribute syntax.
  2679 
  2680 * Discontinued special status of various ML structures that contribute
  2681 to structure Syntax (Ast, Lexicon, Mixfix, Parser, Printer etc.): less
  2682 pervasive content, no inclusion in structure Syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  2683 refer directly to Ast.Constant, Lexicon.is_identifier,
  2684 Syntax_Trans.mk_binder_tr etc.
  2685 
  2686 * Typed print translation: discontinued show_sorts argument, which is
  2687 already available via context of "advanced" translation.
  2688 
  2689 * Refined PARALLEL_GOALS tactical: degrades gracefully for schematic
  2690 goal states; body tactic needs to address all subgoals uniformly.
  2691 
  2692 * Slightly more special eq_list/eq_set, with shortcut involving
  2693 pointer equality (assumes that eq relation is reflexive).
  2694 
  2695 * Classical tactics use proper Proof.context instead of historic types
  2696 claset/clasimpset.  Old-style declarations like addIs, addEs, addDs
  2697 operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type claset retains its use as
  2698 snapshot of the classical context, which can be recovered via
  2699 (put_claset HOL_cs) etc.  Type clasimpset has been discontinued.
  2700 INCOMPATIBILITY, classical tactics and derived proof methods require
  2701 proper Proof.context.
  2702 
  2703 
  2704 *** System ***
  2705 
  2706 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2, which was the last version
  2707 without proper multithreading and TimeLimit implementation.
  2708 
  2709 * Discontinued old lib/scripts/polyml-platform, which has been
  2710 obsolete since Isabelle2009-2.
  2711 
  2712 * Various optional external tools are referenced more robustly and
  2713 uniformly by explicit Isabelle settings as follows:
  2714 
  2715   ISABELLE_CSDP   (formerly CSDP_EXE)
  2716   ISABELLE_GHC    (formerly EXEC_GHC or GHC_PATH)
  2717   ISABELLE_OCAML  (formerly EXEC_OCAML)
  2718   ISABELLE_SWIPL  (formerly EXEC_SWIPL)
  2719   ISABELLE_YAP    (formerly EXEC_YAP)
  2720 
  2721 Note that automated detection from the file-system or search path has
  2722 been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2723 
  2724 * Scala layer provides JVM method invocation service for static
  2725 methods of type (String)String, see Invoke_Scala.method in ML.  For
  2726 example:
  2727 
  2728   Invoke_Scala.method "java.lang.System.getProperty" "java.home"
  2729 
  2730 Together with YXML.string_of_body/parse_body and XML.Encode/Decode
  2731 this allows to pass structured values between ML and Scala.
  2732 
  2733 * The IsabelleText fonts includes some further glyphs to support the
  2734 Prover IDE.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: users who happen to have
  2735 installed a local copy (which is normally *not* required) need to
  2736 delete or update it from ~~/lib/fonts/.
  2737 
  2738 
  2739 
  2740 New in Isabelle2011 (January 2011)
  2741 ----------------------------------
  2742 
  2743 *** General ***
  2744 
  2745 * Experimental Prover IDE based on Isabelle/Scala and jEdit (see
  2746 src/Tools/jEdit).  This also serves as IDE for Isabelle/ML, with
  2747 useful tooltips and hyperlinks produced from its static analysis.  The
  2748 bundled component provides an executable Isabelle tool that can be run
  2749 like this:
  2750 
  2751   Isabelle2011/bin/isabelle jedit
  2752 
  2753 * Significantly improved Isabelle/Isar implementation manual.
  2754 
  2755 * System settings: ISABELLE_HOME_USER now includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER
  2756 (and thus refers to something like $HOME/.isabelle/Isabelle2011),
  2757 while the default heap location within that directory lacks that extra
  2758 suffix.  This isolates multiple Isabelle installations from each
  2759 other, avoiding problems with old settings in new versions.
  2760 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to copy/upgrade old user settings manually.
  2761 
  2762 * Source files are always encoded as UTF-8, instead of old-fashioned
  2763 ISO-Latin-1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Isabelle LaTeX documents might require
  2764 the following package declarations:
  2765 
  2766   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
  2767   \usepackage{textcomp}
  2768 
  2769 * Explicit treatment of UTF-8 sequences as Isabelle symbols, such that
  2770 a Unicode character is treated as a single symbol, not a sequence of
  2771 non-ASCII bytes as before.  Since Isabelle/ML string literals may
  2772 contain symbols without further backslash escapes, Unicode can now be
  2773 used here as well.  Recall that Symbol.explode in ML provides a
  2774 consistent view on symbols, while raw explode (or String.explode)
  2775 merely give a byte-oriented representation.
  2776 
  2777 * Theory loader: source files are primarily located via the master
  2778 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  2779 The global load path is still partially available as legacy feature.
  2780 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY due to subtle change in file lookup: use
  2781 explicit paths, relatively to the theory.
  2782 
  2783 * Special treatment of ML file names has been discontinued.
  2784 Historically, optional extensions .ML or .sml were added on demand --
  2785 at the cost of clarity of file dependencies.  Recall that Isabelle/ML
  2786 files exclusively use the .ML extension.  Minor INCOMPATIBILTY.
  2787 
  2788 * Various options that affect pretty printing etc. are now properly
  2789 handled within the context via configuration options, instead of
  2790 unsynchronized references or print modes.  There are both ML Config.T
  2791 entities and Isar declaration attributes to access these.
  2792

  2817 
  2818 Note that corresponding "..._default" references in ML may only be
  2819 changed globally at the ROOT session setup, but *not* within a theory.
  2820 The option "show_abbrevs" supersedes the former print mode
  2821 "no_abbrevs" with inverted meaning.
  2822 
  2823 * More systematic naming of some configuration options.
  2824 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2825 
  2826   trace_simp  ~>  simp_trace
  2827   debug_simp  ~>  simp_debug
  2828 
  2829 * Support for real valued configuration options, using simplistic
  2830 floating-point notation that coincides with the inner syntax for
  2831 float_token.
  2832 
  2833 * Support for real valued preferences (with approximative PGIP type):
  2834 front-ends need to accept "pgint" values in float notation.
  2835 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2836 
  2837 * The IsabelleText font now includes Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic from
  2838 DejaVu Sans.
  2839 
  2840 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.0 and 5.1 versions.
  2841 
  2842 
  2843 *** Pure ***
  2844 
  2845 * Command 'type_synonym' (with single argument) replaces somewhat
  2846 outdated 'types', which is still available as legacy feature for some
  2847 time.
  2848 
  2849 * Command 'nonterminal' (with 'and' separated list of arguments)
  2850 replaces somewhat outdated 'nonterminals'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2851 
  2852 * Command 'notepad' replaces former 'example_proof' for
  2853 experimentation in Isar without any result.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2854 
  2855 * Locale interpretation commands 'interpret' and 'sublocale' accept
  2856 lists of equations to map definitions in a locale to appropriate
  2857 entities in the context of the interpretation.  The 'interpretation'
  2858 command already provided this functionality.
  2859 
  2860 * Diagnostic command 'print_dependencies' prints the locale instances
  2861 that would be activated if the specified expression was interpreted in
  2862 the current context.  Variant "print_dependencies!" assumes a context
  2863 without interpretations.
  2864 
  2865 * Diagnostic command 'print_interps' prints interpretations in proofs
  2866 in addition to interpretations in theories.
  2867 
  2868 * Discontinued obsolete 'global' and 'local' commands to manipulate
  2869 the theory name space.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.  The ML functions
  2870 Sign.root_path and Sign.local_path may be applied directly where this
  2871 feature is still required for historical reasons.
  2872 
  2873 * Discontinued obsolete 'constdefs' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  2874 'definition' instead.
  2875 
  2876 * The "prems" fact, which refers to the accidental collection of
  2877 foundational premises in the context, is now explicitly marked as
  2878 legacy feature and will be discontinued soon.  Consider using "assms"
  2879 of the head statement or reference facts by explicit names.
  2880 
  2881 * Document antiquotations @{class} and @{type} print classes and type
  2882 constructors.
  2883 
  2884 * Document antiquotation @{file} checks file/directory entries within
  2885 the local file system.
  2886 
  2887 
  2888 *** HOL ***
  2889 
  2890 * Coercive subtyping: functions can be declared as coercions and type
  2891 inference will add them as necessary upon input of a term.  Theory
  2892 Complex_Main declares real :: nat => real and real :: int => real as
  2893 coercions. A coercion function f is declared like this:
  2894 
  2895   declare [[coercion f]]
  2896 
  2897 To lift coercions through type constructors (e.g. from nat => real to
  2898 nat list => real list), map functions can be declared, e.g.
  2899 
  2900   declare [[coercion_map map]]
  2901 
  2902 Currently coercion inference is activated only in theories including
  2903 real numbers, i.e. descendants of Complex_Main.  This is controlled by
  2904 the configuration option "coercion_enabled", e.g. it can be enabled in
  2905 other theories like this:
  2906 
  2907   declare [[coercion_enabled]]
  2908 
  2909 * Command 'partial_function' provides basic support for recursive
  2910 function definitions over complete partial orders.  Concrete instances
  2911 are provided for i) the option type, ii) tail recursion on arbitrary
  2912 types, and iii) the heap monad of Imperative_HOL.  See
  2913 src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy and src/HOL/Imperative_HOL/ex/Linked_Lists.thy
  2914 for examples.
  2915 
  2916 * Function package: f.psimps rules are no longer implicitly declared
  2917 as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2918 
  2919 * Datatype package: theorems generated for executable equality (class
  2920 "eq") carry proper names and are treated as default code equations.
  2921 
  2922 * Inductive package: now offers command 'inductive_simps' to
  2923 automatically derive instantiated and simplified equations for
  2924 inductive predicates, similar to 'inductive_cases'.
  2925 
  2926 * Command 'enriched_type' allows to register properties of the
  2927 functorial structure of types.
  2928 
  2929 * Improved infrastructure for term evaluation using code generator
  2930 techniques, in particular static evaluation conversions.
  2931 
  2932 * Code generator: Scala (2.8 or higher) has been added to the target
  2933 languages.
  2934 
  2935 * Code generator: globbing constant expressions "*" and "Theory.*"
  2936 have been replaced by the more idiomatic "_" and "Theory._".
  2937 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2938 
  2939 * Code generator: export_code without explicit file declaration prints
  2940 to standard output.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2941 
  2942 * Code generator: do not print function definitions for case
  2943 combinators any longer.
  2944 
  2945 * Code generator: simplification with rules determined with
  2946 src/Tools/Code/code_simp.ML and method "code_simp".
  2947 
  2948 * Code generator for records: more idiomatic representation of record
  2949 types.  Warning: records are not covered by ancient SML code
  2950 generation any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  In cases of need, a suitable
  2951 rep_datatype declaration helps to succeed then:
  2952 
  2953   record 'a foo = ...
  2954   ...
  2955   rep_datatype foo_ext ...
  2956 
  2957 * Records: logical foundation type for records does not carry a
  2958 '_type' suffix any longer (obsolete due to authentic syntax).
  2959 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2960 
  2961 * Quickcheck now by default uses exhaustive testing instead of random
  2962 testing.  Random testing can be invoked by "quickcheck [random]",
  2963 exhaustive testing by "quickcheck [exhaustive]".
  2964 
  2965 * Quickcheck instantiates polymorphic types with small finite
  2966 datatypes by default. This enables a simple execution mechanism to
  2967 handle quantifiers and function equality over the finite datatypes.
  2968 
  2969 * Quickcheck random generator has been renamed from "code" to
  2970 "random".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2971 
  2972 * Quickcheck now has a configurable time limit which is set to 30
  2973 seconds by default. This can be changed by adding [timeout = n] to the
  2974 quickcheck command. The time limit for Auto Quickcheck is still set
  2975 independently.
  2976 
  2977 * Quickcheck in locales considers interpretations of that locale for
  2978 counter example search.
  2979 
  2980 * Sledgehammer:
  2981   - Added "smt" and "remote_smt" provers based on the "smt" proof
  2982     method. See the Sledgehammer manual for details ("isabelle doc
  2983     sledgehammer").
  2984   - Renamed commands:
  2985     sledgehammer atp_info ~> sledgehammer running_provers
  2986     sledgehammer atp_kill ~> sledgehammer kill_provers
  2987     sledgehammer available_atps ~> sledgehammer available_provers
  2988     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2989   - Renamed options:
  2990     sledgehammer [atps = ...] ~> sledgehammer [provers = ...]
  2991     sledgehammer [atp = ...] ~> sledgehammer [prover = ...]
  2992     sledgehammer [timeout = 77 s] ~> sledgehammer [timeout = 77]
  2993     (and "ms" and "min" are no longer supported)
  2994     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2995 
  2996 * Nitpick:
  2997   - Renamed options:
  2998     nitpick [timeout = 77 s] ~> nitpick [timeout = 77]
  2999     nitpick [tac_timeout = 777 ms] ~> nitpick [tac_timeout = 0.777]
  3000     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3001   - Added support for partial quotient types.
  3002   - Added local versions of the "Nitpick.register_xxx" functions.
  3003   - Added "whack" option.
  3004   - Allow registration of quotient types as codatatypes.
  3005   - Improved "merge_type_vars" option to merge more types.
  3006   - Removed unsound "fast_descrs" option.
  3007   - Added custom symmetry breaking for datatypes, making it possible to reach
  3008     higher cardinalities.
  3009   - Prevent the expansion of too large definitions.
  3010 
  3011 * Proof methods "metis" and "meson" now have configuration options
  3012 "meson_trace", "metis_trace", and "metis_verbose" that can be enabled
  3013 to diagnose these tools. E.g.
  3014 
  3015     using [[metis_trace = true]]
  3016 
  3017 * Auto Solve: Renamed "Auto Solve Direct".  The tool is now available
  3018 manually as command 'solve_direct'.
  3019 
  3020 * The default SMT solver Z3 must be enabled explicitly (due to
  3021 licensing issues) by setting the environment variable
  3022 Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL in etc/settings of the component, for example.  For
  3023 commercial applications, the SMT solver CVC3 is provided as fall-back;
  3024 changing the SMT solver is done via the configuration option
  3025 "smt_solver".
  3026 
  3027 * Remote SMT solvers need to be referred to by the "remote_" prefix,
  3028 i.e. "remote_cvc3" and "remote_z3".
  3029 
  3030 * Added basic SMT support for datatypes, records, and typedefs using
  3031 the oracle mode (no proofs).  Direct support of pairs has been dropped
  3032 in exchange (pass theorems fst_conv snd_conv pair_collapse to the SMT
  3033 support for a similar behavior).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3034 
  3035 * Changed SMT configuration options:
  3036   - Renamed:
  3037     z3_proofs ~> smt_oracle (with inverted meaning)
  3038     z3_trace_assms ~> smt_trace_used_facts
  3039     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3040   - Added:
  3041     smt_verbose
  3042     smt_random_seed
  3043     smt_datatypes
  3044     smt_infer_triggers
  3045     smt_monomorph_limit
  3046     cvc3_options
  3047     remote_cvc3_options
  3048     remote_z3_options
  3049     yices_options
  3050 
  3051 * Boogie output files (.b2i files) need to be declared in the theory
  3052 header.
  3053 
  3054 * Simplification procedure "list_to_set_comprehension" rewrites list
  3055 comprehensions applied to List.set to set comprehensions.  Occasional
  3056 INCOMPATIBILITY, may be deactivated like this:
  3057 
  3058   declare [[simproc del: list_to_set_comprehension]]
  3059 
  3060 * Removed old version of primrec package.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3061 
  3062 * Removed simplifier congruence rule of "prod_case", as has for long
  3063 been the case with "split".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3064 
  3065 * String.literal is a type, but not a datatype.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3066 
  3067 * Removed [split_format ... and ... and ...] version of
  3068 [split_format].  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3069 
  3070 * Predicate "sorted" now defined inductively, with nice induction
  3071 rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY: former sorted.simps now named sorted_simps.
  3072 
  3073 * Constant "contents" renamed to "the_elem", to free the generic name
  3074 contents for other uses.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3075 
  3076 * Renamed class eq and constant eq (for code generation) to class
  3077 equal and constant equal, plus renaming of related facts and various
  3078 tuning.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3079 
  3080 * Dropped type classes mult_mono and mult_mono1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3081 
  3082 * Removed output syntax "'a ~=> 'b" for "'a => 'b option".
  3083 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3084 
  3085 * Renamed theory Fset to Cset, type Fset.fset to Cset.set, in order to
  3086 avoid confusion with finite sets.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3087 
  3088 * Abandoned locales equiv, congruent and congruent2 for equivalence
  3089 relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use equivI rather than equiv_intro (same
  3090 for congruent(2)).
  3091 
  3092 * Some previously unqualified names have been qualified:
  3093 
  3094   types
  3095     bool ~> HOL.bool
  3096     nat ~> Nat.nat
  3097 
  3098   constants
  3099     Trueprop ~> HOL.Trueprop
  3100     True ~> HOL.True
  3101     False ~> HOL.False
  3102     op & ~> HOL.conj
  3103     op | ~> HOL.disj
  3104     op --> ~> HOL.implies
  3105     op = ~> HOL.eq
  3106     Not ~> HOL.Not
  3107     The ~> HOL.The
  3108     All ~> HOL.All
  3109     Ex ~> HOL.Ex
  3110     Ex1 ~> HOL.Ex1
  3111     Let ~> HOL.Let
  3112     If ~> HOL.If
  3113     Ball ~> Set.Ball
  3114     Bex ~> Set.Bex
  3115     Suc ~> Nat.Suc
  3116     Pair ~> Product_Type.Pair
  3117     fst ~> Product_Type.fst
  3118     snd ~> Product_Type.snd
  3119     curry ~> Product_Type.curry
  3120     op : ~> Set.member
  3121     Collect ~> Set.Collect
  3122 
  3123 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3124 
  3125 * More canonical naming convention for some fundamental definitions:
  3126 
  3127     bot_bool_eq ~> bot_bool_def
  3128     top_bool_eq ~> top_bool_def
  3129     inf_bool_eq ~> inf_bool_def
  3130     sup_bool_eq ~> sup_bool_def
  3131     bot_fun_eq  ~> bot_fun_def
  3132     top_fun_eq  ~> top_fun_def
  3133     inf_fun_eq  ~> inf_fun_def
  3134     sup_fun_eq  ~> sup_fun_def
  3135 
  3136 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3137 
  3138 * More stylized fact names:
  3139 
  3140   expand_fun_eq ~> fun_eq_iff
  3141   expand_set_eq ~> set_eq_iff
  3142   set_ext       ~> set_eqI
  3143   nat_number    ~> eval_nat_numeral
  3144 
  3145 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3146 
  3147 * Refactoring of code-generation specific operations in theory List:
  3148 
  3149   constants
  3150     null ~> List.null
  3151 
  3152   facts
  3153     mem_iff ~> member_def
  3154     null_empty ~> null_def
  3155 
  3156 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that these were not supposed to be used
  3157 regularly unless for striking reasons; their main purpose was code
  3158 generation.
  3159 
  3160 Various operations from the Haskell prelude are used for generating
  3161 Haskell code.
  3162 
  3163 * Term "bij f" is now an abbreviation of "bij_betw f UNIV UNIV".  Term
  3164 "surj f" is now an abbreviation of "range f = UNIV".  The theorems
  3165 bij_def and surj_def are unchanged.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3166 
  3167 * Abolished some non-alphabetic type names: "prod" and "sum" replace
  3168 "*" and "+" respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3169 
  3170 * Name "Plus" of disjoint sum operator "<+>" is now hidden.  Write
  3171 "Sum_Type.Plus" instead.
  3172 
  3173 * Constant "split" has been merged with constant "prod_case"; names of
  3174 ML functions, facts etc. involving split have been retained so far,
  3175 though.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3176 
  3177 * Dropped old infix syntax "_ mem _" for List.member; use "_ : set _"
  3178 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3179 
  3180 * Removed lemma "Option.is_none_none" which duplicates "is_none_def".
  3181 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3182 
  3183 * Former theory Library/Enum is now part of the HOL-Main image.
  3184 INCOMPATIBILITY: all constants of the Enum theory now have to be
  3185 referred to by its qualified name.
  3186 
  3187   enum    ~>  Enum.enum
  3188   nlists  ~>  Enum.nlists
  3189   product ~>  Enum.product
  3190 
  3191 * Theory Library/Monad_Syntax provides do-syntax for monad types.
  3192 Syntax in Library/State_Monad has been changed to avoid ambiguities.
  3193 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3194 
  3195 * Theory Library/SetsAndFunctions has been split into
  3196 Library/Function_Algebras and Library/Set_Algebras; canonical names
  3197 for instance definitions for functions; various improvements.
  3198 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3199 
  3200 * Theory Library/Multiset provides stable quicksort implementation of
  3201 sort_key.
  3202 
  3203 * Theory Library/Multiset: renamed empty_idemp ~> empty_neutral.
  3204 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3205 
  3206 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: introduced a type class for euclidean
  3207 space.  Most theorems are now stated in terms of euclidean spaces
  3208 instead of finite cartesian products.
  3209 
  3210   types
  3211     real ^ 'n ~>  'a::real_vector
  3212               ~>  'a::euclidean_space
  3213               ~>  'a::ordered_euclidean_space
  3214         (depends on your needs)
  3215 
  3216   constants
  3217      _ $ _        ~> _ $$ _
  3218      \<chi> x. _  ~> \<chi>\<chi> x. _
  3219      CARD('n)     ~> DIM('a)
  3220 
  3221 Also note that the indices are now natural numbers and not from some
  3222 finite type. Finite cartesian products of euclidean spaces, products
  3223 of euclidean spaces the real and complex numbers are instantiated to
  3224 be euclidean_spaces.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3225 
  3226 * Session Probability: introduced pextreal as positive extended real
  3227 numbers.  Use pextreal as value for measures.  Introduce the
  3228 Radon-Nikodym derivative, product spaces and Fubini's theorem for
  3229 arbitrary sigma finite measures.  Introduces Lebesgue measure based on
  3230 the integral in Multivariate Analysis.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3231 
  3232 * Session Imperative_HOL: revamped, corrected dozens of inadequacies.
  3233 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3234 
  3235 * Session SPARK (with image HOL-SPARK) provides commands to load and
  3236 prove verification conditions generated by the SPARK Ada program
  3237 verifier.  See also src/HOL/SPARK and src/HOL/SPARK/Examples.
  3238 
  3239 
  3240 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  3241 
  3242 * Theorems for additive ring operations (locale abelian_monoid and
  3243 descendants) are generated by interpretation from their multiplicative
  3244 counterparts.  Names (in particular theorem names) have the mandatory
  3245 qualifier 'add'.  Previous theorem names are redeclared for
  3246 compatibility.
  3247 
  3248 * Structure "int_ring" is now an abbreviation (previously a
  3249 definition).  This fits more natural with advanced interpretations.
  3250 
  3251 
  3252 *** HOLCF ***
  3253 
  3254 * The domain package now runs in definitional mode by default: The
  3255 former command 'new_domain' is now called 'domain'.  To use the domain
  3256 package in its original axiomatic mode, use 'domain (unsafe)'.
  3257 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3258 
  3259 * The new class "domain" is now the default sort.  Class "predomain"
  3260 is an unpointed version of "domain". Theories can be updated by
  3261 replacing sort annotations as shown below.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3262 
  3263   'a::type ~> 'a::countable
  3264   'a::cpo  ~> 'a::predomain
  3265   'a::pcpo ~> 'a::domain
  3266 
  3267 * The old type class "rep" has been superseded by class "domain".
  3268 Accordingly, users of the definitional package must remove any
  3269 "default_sort rep" declarations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3270 
  3271 * The domain package (definitional mode) now supports unpointed
  3272 predomain argument types, as long as they are marked 'lazy'. (Strict
  3273 arguments must be in class "domain".) For example, the following
  3274 domain definition now works:
  3275 
  3276   domain natlist = nil | cons (lazy "nat discr") (lazy "natlist")
  3277 
  3278 * Theory HOLCF/Library/HOL_Cpo provides cpo and predomain class
  3279 instances for types from main HOL: bool, nat, int, char, 'a + 'b,
  3280 'a option, and 'a list.  Additionally, it configures fixrec and the
  3281 domain package to work with these types.  For example:
  3282 
  3283   fixrec isInl :: "('a + 'b) u -> tr"
  3284     where "isInl$(up$(Inl x)) = TT" | "isInl$(up$(Inr y)) = FF"
  3285 
  3286   domain V = VFun (lazy "V -> V") | VCon (lazy "nat") (lazy "V list")
  3287 
  3288 * The "(permissive)" option of fixrec has been replaced with a
  3289 per-equation "(unchecked)" option. See
  3290 src/HOL/HOLCF/Tutorial/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3291 
  3292 * The "bifinite" class no longer fixes a constant "approx"; the class
  3293 now just asserts that such a function exists.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3294 
  3295 * Former type "alg_defl" has been renamed to "defl".  HOLCF no longer
  3296 defines an embedding of type 'a defl into udom by default; instances
  3297 of "bifinite" and "domain" classes are available in
  3298 src/HOL/HOLCF/Library/Defl_Bifinite.thy.
  3299 
  3300 * The syntax "REP('a)" has been replaced with "DEFL('a)".
  3301 
  3302 * The predicate "directed" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3303 
  3304 * The type class "finite_po" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3305 
  3306 * The function "cprod_map" has been renamed to "prod_map".
  3307 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3308 
  3309 * The monadic bind operator on each powerdomain has new binder syntax
  3310 similar to sets, e.g. "\<Union>\<sharp>x\<in>xs. t" represents
  3311 "upper_bind\<cdot>xs\<cdot>(\<Lambda> x. t)".
  3312 
  3313 * The infix syntax for binary union on each powerdomain has changed
  3314 from e.g. "+\<sharp>" to "\<union>\<sharp>", for consistency with set
  3315 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3316 
  3317 * The constant "UU" has been renamed to "bottom".  The syntax "UU" is
  3318 still supported as an input translation.
  3319 
  3320 * Renamed some theorems (the original names are also still available).
  3321 
  3322   expand_fun_below   ~> fun_below_iff
  3323   below_fun_ext      ~> fun_belowI
  3324   expand_cfun_eq     ~> cfun_eq_iff
  3325   ext_cfun           ~> cfun_eqI
  3326   expand_cfun_below  ~> cfun_below_iff
  3327   below_cfun_ext     ~> cfun_belowI
  3328   cont2cont_Rep_CFun ~> cont2cont_APP
  3329 
  3330 * The Abs and Rep functions for various types have changed names.
  3331 Related theorem names have also changed to match. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3332 
  3333   Rep_CFun  ~> Rep_cfun
  3334   Abs_CFun  ~> Abs_cfun
  3335   Rep_Sprod ~> Rep_sprod
  3336   Abs_Sprod ~> Abs_sprod
  3337   Rep_Ssum  ~> Rep_ssum
  3338   Abs_Ssum  ~> Abs_ssum
  3339 
  3340 * Lemmas with names of the form *_defined_iff or *_strict_iff have
  3341 been renamed to *_bottom_iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3342 
  3343 * Various changes to bisimulation/coinduction with domain package:
  3344 
  3345   - Definitions of "bisim" constants no longer mention definedness.
  3346   - With mutual recursion, "bisim" predicate is now curried.
  3347   - With mutual recursion, each type gets a separate coind theorem.
  3348   - Variable names in bisim_def and coinduct rules have changed.
  3349 
  3350 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3351 
  3352 * Case combinators generated by the domain package for type "foo" are
  3353 now named "foo_case" instead of "foo_when".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3354 
  3355 * Several theorems have been renamed to more accurately reflect the
  3356 names of constants and types involved.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3428 *** FOL and ZF ***
  3429 
  3430 * All constant names are now qualified internally and use proper
  3431 identifiers, e.g. "IFOL.eq" instead of "op =".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3432 
  3433 
  3434 *** ML ***
  3435 
  3436 * Antiquotation @{assert} inlines a function bool -> unit that raises
  3437 Fail if the argument is false.  Due to inlining the source position of
  3438 failed assertions is included in the error output.
  3439 
  3440 * Discontinued antiquotation @{theory_ref}, which is obsolete since ML
  3441 text is in practice always evaluated with a stable theory checkpoint.
  3442 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use (Theory.check_thy @{theory}) instead.
  3443 
  3444 * Antiquotation @{theory A} refers to theory A from the ancestry of
  3445 the current context, not any accidental theory loader state as before.
  3446 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, subtle change in semantics.
  3447 
  3448 * Syntax.pretty_priority (default 0) configures the required priority
  3449 of pretty-printed output and thus affects insertion of parentheses.
  3450 
  3451 * Syntax.default_root (default "any") configures the inner syntax
  3452 category (nonterminal symbol) for parsing of terms.
  3453 
  3454 * Former exception Library.UnequalLengths now coincides with
  3455 ListPair.UnequalLengths.
  3456 
  3457 * Renamed structure MetaSimplifier to Raw_Simplifier.  Note that the
  3458 main functionality is provided by structure Simplifier.
  3459 
  3460 * Renamed raw "explode" function to "raw_explode" to emphasize its
  3461 meaning.  Note that internally to Isabelle, Symbol.explode is used in
  3462 almost all situations.
  3463 
  3464 * Discontinued obsolete function sys_error and exception SYS_ERROR.
  3465 See implementation manual for further details on exceptions in
  3466 Isabelle/ML.
  3467 
  3468 * Renamed setmp_noncritical to Unsynchronized.setmp to emphasize its
  3469 meaning.
  3470 
  3471 * Renamed structure PureThy to Pure_Thy and moved most of its
  3472 operations to structure Global_Theory, to emphasize that this is
  3473 rarely-used global-only stuff.
  3474 
  3475 * Discontinued Output.debug.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use plain writeln
  3476 instead (or tracing for high-volume output).
  3477 
  3478 * Configuration option show_question_marks only affects regular pretty
  3479 printing of types and terms, not raw Term.string_of_vname.
  3480 
  3481 * ML_Context.thm and ML_Context.thms are no longer pervasive.  Rare
  3482 INCOMPATIBILITY, superseded by static antiquotations @{thm} and
  3483 @{thms} for most purposes.
  3484 
  3485 * ML structure Unsynchronized is never opened, not even in Isar
  3486 interaction mode as before.  Old Unsynchronized.set etc. have been
  3487 discontinued -- use plain := instead.  This should be *rare* anyway,
  3488 since modern tools always work via official context data, notably
  3489 configuration options.
  3490 
  3491 * Parallel and asynchronous execution requires special care concerning
  3492 interrupts.  Structure Exn provides some convenience functions that
  3493 avoid working directly with raw Interrupt.  User code must not absorb
  3494 interrupts -- intermediate handling (for cleanup etc.) needs to be
  3495 followed by re-raising of the original exception.  Another common
  3496 source of mistakes are "handle _" patterns, which make the meaning of
  3497 the program subject to physical effects of the environment.
  3498

  3500 
  3501 New in Isabelle2009-2 (June 2010)
  3502 ---------------------------------
  3503 
  3504 *** General ***
  3505 
  3506 * Authentic syntax for *all* logical entities (type classes, type
  3507 constructors, term constants): provides simple and robust
  3508 correspondence between formal entities and concrete syntax.  Within
  3509 the parse tree / AST representations, "constants" are decorated by
  3510 their category (class, type, const) and spelled out explicitly with
  3511 their full internal name.
  3512 
  3513 Substantial INCOMPATIBILITY concerning low-level syntax declarations
  3514 and translations (translation rules and translation functions in ML).
  3515 Some hints on upgrading:
  3516 
  3517   - Many existing uses of 'syntax' and 'translations' can be replaced
  3518     by more modern 'type_notation', 'notation' and 'abbreviation',
  3519     which are independent of this issue.
  3520 
  3521   - 'translations' require markup within the AST; the term syntax
  3522     provides the following special forms:
  3523 
  3524       CONST c   -- produces syntax version of constant c from context
  3525       XCONST c  -- literally c, checked as constant from context
  3526       c         -- literally c, if declared by 'syntax'
  3527 
  3528     Plain identifiers are treated as AST variables -- occasionally the
  3529     system indicates accidental variables via the error "rhs contains
  3530     extra variables".
  3531 
  3532     Type classes and type constructors are marked according to their
  3533     concrete syntax.  Some old translations rules need to be written
  3534     for the "type" category, using type constructor application
  3535     instead of pseudo-term application of the default category
  3536     "logic".
  3537 
  3538   - 'parse_translation' etc. in ML may use the following
  3539     antiquotations:
  3540 
  3541       @{class_syntax c}   -- type class c within parse tree / AST
  3542       @{term_syntax c}    -- type constructor c within parse tree / AST
  3543       @{const_syntax c}   -- ML version of "CONST c" above
  3544       @{syntax_const c}   -- literally c (checked wrt. 'syntax' declarations)
  3545 
  3546   - Literal types within 'typed_print_translations', i.e. those *not*
  3547     represented as pseudo-terms are represented verbatim.  Use @{class
  3548     c} or @{type_name c} here instead of the above syntax
  3549     antiquotations.
  3550 
  3551 Note that old non-authentic syntax was based on unqualified base
  3552 names, so all of the above "constant" names would coincide.  Recall
  3553 that 'print_syntax' and ML_command "set Syntax.trace_ast" help to
  3554 diagnose syntax problems.
  3555 
  3556 * Type constructors admit general mixfix syntax, not just infix.
  3557 
  3558 * Concrete syntax may be attached to local entities without a proof
  3559 body, too.  This works via regular mixfix annotations for 'fix',
  3560 'def', 'obtain' etc. or via the explicit 'write' command, which is
  3561 similar to the 'notation' command in theory specifications.
  3562 
  3563 * Discontinued unnamed infix syntax (legacy feature for many years) --
  3564 need to specify constant name and syntax separately.  Internal ML
  3565 datatype constructors have been renamed from InfixName to Infix etc.
  3566 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3567 
  3568 * Schematic theorem statements need to be explicitly markup as such,
  3569 via commands 'schematic_lemma', 'schematic_theorem',
  3570 'schematic_corollary'.  Thus the relevance of the proof is made
  3571 syntactically clear, which impacts performance in a parallel or
  3572 asynchronous interactive environment.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3573 
  3574 * Use of cumulative prems via "!" in some proof methods has been
  3575 discontinued (old legacy feature).
  3576 
  3577 * References 'trace_simp' and 'debug_simp' have been replaced by
  3578 configuration options stored in the context. Enabling tracing (the
  3579 case of debugging is similar) in proofs works via
  3580 
  3581   using [[trace_simp = true]]
  3582 
  3583 Tracing is then active for all invocations of the simplifier in
  3584 subsequent goal refinement steps. Tracing may also still be enabled or
  3585 disabled via the ProofGeneral settings menu.
  3586 
  3587 * Separate commands 'hide_class', 'hide_type', 'hide_const',
  3588 'hide_fact' replace the former 'hide' KIND command.  Minor
  3589 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3590 
  3591 * Improved parallelism of proof term normalization: usedir -p2 -q0 is
  3592 more efficient than combinations with -q1 or -q2.
  3593 
  3594 
  3595 *** Pure ***
  3596 
  3597 * Proofterms record type-class reasoning explicitly, using the
  3598 "unconstrain" operation internally.  This eliminates all sort
  3599 constraints from a theorem and proof, introducing explicit
  3600 OFCLASS-premises.  On the proof term level, this operation is
  3601 automatically applied at theorem boundaries, such that closed proofs
  3602 are always free of sort constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools that
  3603 inspect proof terms.
  3604 
  3605 * Local theory specifications may depend on extra type variables that
  3606 are not present in the result type -- arguments TYPE('a) :: 'a itself
  3607 are added internally.  For example:
  3608 
  3609   definition unitary :: bool where "unitary = (ALL (x::'a) y. x = y)"
  3610 
  3611 * Predicates of locales introduced by classes carry a mandatory
  3612 "class" prefix.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3613 
  3614 * Vacuous class specifications observe default sort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3615 
  3616 * Old 'axclass' command has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  3617 'class' instead.
  3618 
  3619 * Command 'code_reflect' allows to incorporate generated ML code into
  3620 runtime environment; replaces immature code_datatype antiquotation.
  3621 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3622 
  3623 * Code generator: simple concept for abstract datatypes obeying
  3624 invariants.
  3625 
  3626 * Code generator: details of internal data cache have no impact on the
  3627 user space functionality any longer.
  3628 
  3629 * Methods "unfold_locales" and "intro_locales" ignore non-locale
  3630 subgoals.  This is more appropriate for interpretations with 'where'.
  3631 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3632 
  3633 * Command 'example_proof' opens an empty proof body.  This allows to
  3634 experiment with Isar, without producing any persistent result.
  3635 
  3636 * Commands 'type_notation' and 'no_type_notation' declare type syntax
  3637 within a local theory context, with explicit checking of the
  3638 constructors involved (in contrast to the raw 'syntax' versions).
  3639 
  3640 * Commands 'types' and 'typedecl' now work within a local theory
  3641 context -- without introducing dependencies on parameters or
  3642 assumptions, which is not possible in Isabelle/Pure.
  3643 
  3644 * Command 'defaultsort' has been renamed to 'default_sort', it works
  3645 within a local theory context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3646 
  3647 
  3648 *** HOL ***
  3649 
  3650 * Command 'typedef' now works within a local theory context -- without
  3651 introducing dependencies on parameters or assumptions, which is not
  3652 possible in Isabelle/Pure/HOL.  Note that the logical environment may
  3653 contain multiple interpretations of local typedefs (with different
  3654 non-emptiness proofs), even in a global theory context.
  3655 
  3656 * New package for quotient types.  Commands 'quotient_type' and
  3657 'quotient_definition' may be used for defining types and constants by
  3658 quotient constructions.  An example is the type of integers created by
  3659 quotienting pairs of natural numbers:
  3660 
  3661   fun
  3662     intrel :: "(nat * nat) => (nat * nat) => bool"
  3663   where
  3664     "intrel (x, y) (u, v) = (x + v = u + y)"
  3665 
  3666   quotient_type int = "nat * nat" / intrel
  3667     by (auto simp add: equivp_def expand_fun_eq)
  3668 
  3669   quotient_definition
  3670     "0::int" is "(0::nat, 0::nat)"
  3671 
  3672 The method "lifting" can be used to lift of theorems from the
  3673 underlying "raw" type to the quotient type.  The example
  3674 src/HOL/Quotient_Examples/FSet.thy includes such a quotient
  3675 construction and provides a reasoning infrastructure for finite sets.
  3676 
  3677 * Renamed Library/Quotient.thy to Library/Quotient_Type.thy to avoid
  3678 clash with new theory Quotient in Main HOL.
  3679 
  3680 * Moved the SMT binding into the main HOL session, eliminating
  3681 separate HOL-SMT session.
  3682 
  3683 * List membership infix mem operation is only an input abbreviation.
  3684 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3685 
  3686 * Theory Library/Word.thy has been removed.  Use library Word/Word.thy
  3687 for future developements; former Library/Word.thy is still present in
  3688 the AFP entry RSAPPS.
  3689 
  3690 * Theorem Int.int_induct renamed to Int.int_of_nat_induct and is no
  3691 longer shadowed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3692 
  3693 * Dropped theorem duplicate comp_arith; use semiring_norm instead.
  3694 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3695 
  3696 * Dropped theorem RealPow.real_sq_order; use power2_le_imp_le instead.
  3697 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3698 
  3699 * Dropped normalizing_semiring etc; use the facts in semiring classes
  3700 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3701 
  3702 * Dropped several real-specific versions of lemmas about floor and
  3703 ceiling; use the generic lemmas from theory "Archimedean_Field"
  3704 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3737 * Theory "Finite_Set": various folding_XXX locales facilitate the
  3738 application of the various fold combinators on finite sets.
  3739 
  3740 * Library theory "RBT" renamed to "RBT_Impl"; new library theory "RBT"
  3741 provides abstract red-black tree type which is backed by "RBT_Impl" as
  3742 implementation.  INCOMPATIBILTY.
  3743 
  3744 * Theory Library/Coinductive_List has been removed -- superseded by
  3745 AFP/thys/Coinductive.
  3746 
  3747 * Theory PReal, including the type "preal" and related operations, has
  3748 been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3749 
  3750 * Real: new development using Cauchy Sequences.
  3751

  3753 Inf_fin, Sup_fin, Min, Max from theory Finite_Set.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3754 
  3755 * Theory "Rational" renamed to "Rat", for consistency with "Nat",

  3759 
  3760 * New set of rules "ac_simps" provides combined assoc / commute
  3761 rewrites for all interpretations of the appropriate generic locales.
  3762 
  3763 * Renamed theory "OrderedGroup" to "Groups" and split theory
  3764 "Ring_and_Field" into theories "Rings" and "Fields"; for more
  3765 appropriate and more consistent names suitable for name prefixes
  3766 within the HOL theories.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3767 
  3768 * Some generic constants have been put to appropriate theories:
  3769   - less_eq, less: Orderings
  3770   - zero, one, plus, minus, uminus, times, abs, sgn: Groups
  3771   - inverse, divide: Rings
  3772 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3773 
  3774 * More consistent naming of type classes involving orderings (and
  3775 lattices):
  3776 
  3777     lower_semilattice                   ~> semilattice_inf

  3814 
  3815   The following slightly odd type classes have been moved to a
  3816   separate theory Library/Lattice_Algebras:
  3817 
  3818     lordered_ab_group_add               ~> lattice_ab_group_add
  3819     lordered_ab_group_add_abs           ~> lattice_ab_group_add_abs
  3820     lordered_ab_group_add_meet          ~> semilattice_inf_ab_group_add
  3821     lordered_ab_group_add_join          ~> semilattice_sup_ab_group_add
  3822     lordered_ring                       ~> lattice_ring
  3823 
  3824 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3825 
  3826 * Refined field classes:
  3827   - classes division_ring_inverse_zero, field_inverse_zero,
  3828     linordered_field_inverse_zero include rule inverse 0 = 0 --
  3829     subsumes former division_by_zero class;
  3830   - numerous lemmas have been ported from field to division_ring.
  3831 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3832 
  3833 * Refined algebra theorem collections:
  3834   - dropped theorem group group_simps, use algebra_simps instead;
  3835   - dropped theorem group ring_simps, use field_simps instead;
  3836   - proper theorem collection field_simps subsumes former theorem
  3837     groups field_eq_simps and field_simps;
  3838   - dropped lemma eq_minus_self_iff which is a duplicate for
  3839     equal_neg_zero.
  3840 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3841 
  3842 * Theory Finite_Set and List: some lemmas have been generalized from
  3843 sets to lattices:
  3844 
  3845   fun_left_comm_idem_inter      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_inf
  3846   fun_left_comm_idem_union      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_sup
  3847   inter_Inter_fold_inter        ~> inf_Inf_fold_inf
  3848   union_Union_fold_union        ~> sup_Sup_fold_sup
  3849   Inter_fold_inter              ~> Inf_fold_inf
  3850   Union_fold_union              ~> Sup_fold_sup
  3851   inter_INTER_fold_inter        ~> inf_INFI_fold_inf
  3852   union_UNION_fold_union        ~> sup_SUPR_fold_sup
  3853   INTER_fold_inter              ~> INFI_fold_inf
  3854   UNION_fold_union              ~> SUPR_fold_sup
  3855 
  3856 * Theory "Complete_Lattice": lemmas top_def and bot_def have been
  3857 replaced by the more convenient lemmas Inf_empty and Sup_empty.
  3858 Dropped lemmas Inf_insert_simp and Sup_insert_simp, which are subsumed
  3859 by Inf_insert and Sup_insert.  Lemmas Inf_UNIV and Sup_UNIV replace
  3860 former Inf_Univ and Sup_Univ.  Lemmas inf_top_right and sup_bot_right
  3861 subsume inf_top and sup_bot respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3862 
  3863 * Reorganized theory Multiset: swapped notation of pointwise and
  3864 multiset order:
  3865 
  3866   - pointwise ordering is instance of class order with standard syntax
  3867     <= and <;
  3868   - multiset ordering has syntax <=# and <#; partial order properties
  3869     are provided by means of interpretation with prefix
  3870     multiset_order;
  3871   - less duplication, less historical organization of sections,
  3872     conversion from associations lists to multisets, rudimentary code
  3873     generation;
  3874   - use insert_DiffM2 [symmetric] instead of elem_imp_eq_diff_union,
  3875     if needed.
  3876 
  3877 Renamed:
  3878 
  3879   multiset_eq_conv_count_eq  ~>  multiset_ext_iff
  3880   multi_count_ext  ~>  multiset_ext
  3881   diff_union_inverse2  ~>  diff_union_cancelR
  3882 
  3883 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3884 
  3885 * Theory Permutation: replaced local "remove" by List.remove1.
  3886 
  3887 * Code generation: ML and OCaml code is decorated with signatures.
  3888 
  3889 * Theory List: added transpose.
  3890 
  3891 * Library/Nat_Bijection.thy is a collection of bijective functions
  3892 between nat and other types, which supersedes the older libraries
  3893 Library/Nat_Int_Bij.thy and HOLCF/NatIso.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3923   Nat_Int_Bij.bij_int_to_nat_bij  ~> bij_int_decode
  3924 
  3925 * Sledgehammer:
  3926   - Renamed ATP commands:
  3927     atp_info     ~> sledgehammer running_atps
  3928     atp_kill     ~> sledgehammer kill_atps
  3929     atp_messages ~> sledgehammer messages
  3930     atp_minimize ~> sledgehammer minimize
  3931     print_atps   ~> sledgehammer available_atps
  3932     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3933   - Added user's manual ("isabelle doc sledgehammer").
  3934   - Added option syntax and "sledgehammer_params" to customize
  3935     Sledgehammer's behavior.  See the manual for details.
  3936   - Modified the Isar proof reconstruction code so that it produces
  3937     direct proofs rather than proofs by contradiction.  (This feature
  3938     is still experimental.)
  3939   - Made Isar proof reconstruction work for SPASS, remote ATPs, and in
  3940     full-typed mode.
  3941   - Added support for TPTP syntax for SPASS via the "spass_tptp" ATP.
  3942 
  3943 * Nitpick:
  3944   - Added and implemented "binary_ints" and "bits" options.
  3945   - Added "std" option and implemented support for nonstandard models.
  3946   - Added and implemented "finitize" option to improve the precision
  3947     of infinite datatypes based on a monotonicity analysis.
  3948   - Added support for quotient types.
  3949   - Added support for "specification" and "ax_specification"
  3950     constructs.
  3951   - Added support for local definitions (for "function" and
  3952     "termination" proofs).
  3953   - Added support for term postprocessors.
  3954   - Optimized "Multiset.multiset" and "FinFun.finfun".
  3955   - Improved efficiency of "destroy_constrs" optimization.
  3956   - Fixed soundness bugs related to "destroy_constrs" optimization and
  3957     record getters.
  3958   - Fixed soundness bug related to higher-order constructors.
  3959   - Fixed soundness bug when "full_descrs" is enabled.
  3960   - Improved precision of set constructs.
  3961   - Added "atoms" option.
  3962   - Added cache to speed up repeated Kodkod invocations on the same
  3963     problems.
  3964   - Renamed "MiniSatJNI", "zChaffJNI", "BerkMinAlloy", and
  3965     "SAT4JLight" to "MiniSat_JNI", "zChaff_JNI", "BerkMin_Alloy", and
  3966     "SAT4J_Light".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3967   - Removed "skolemize", "uncurry", "sym_break", "flatten_prop",
  3968     "sharing_depth", and "show_skolems" options.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3969   - Removed "nitpick_intro" attribute.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3970 
  3971 * Method "induct" now takes instantiations of the form t, where t is not
  3972   a variable, as a shorthand for "x == t", where x is a fresh variable.
  3973   If this is not intended, t has to be enclosed in parentheses.
  3974   By default, the equalities generated by definitional instantiations
  3975   are pre-simplified, which may cause parameters of inductive cases
  3976   to disappear, or may even delete some of the inductive cases.
  3977   Use "induct (no_simp)" instead of "induct" to restore the old
  3978   behaviour. The (no_simp) option is also understood by the "cases"
  3979   and "nominal_induct" methods, which now perform pre-simplification, too.
  3980   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3981 
  3982 
  3983 *** HOLCF ***
  3984 
  3985 * Variable names in lemmas generated by the domain package have
  3986 changed; the naming scheme is now consistent with the HOL datatype
  3987 package.  Some proof scripts may be affected, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3988 
  3989 * The domain package no longer defines the function "foo_copy" for
  3990 recursive domain "foo".  The reach lemma is now stated directly in
  3991 terms of "foo_take".  Lemmas and proofs that mention "foo_copy" must
  3992 be reformulated in terms of "foo_take", INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3993 
  3994 * Most definedness lemmas generated by the domain package (previously
  3995 of the form "x ~= UU ==> foo$x ~= UU") now have an if-and-only-if form
  3996 like "foo$x = UU <-> x = UU", which works better as a simp rule.
  3997 Proofs that used definedness lemmas as intro rules may break,
  3998 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3999 
  4000 * Induction and casedist rules generated by the domain package now
  4001 declare proper case_names (one called "bottom", and one named for each
  4002 constructor).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4003 
  4004 * For mutually-recursive domains, separate "reach" and "take_lemma"
  4005 rules are generated for each domain, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4006 
  4007   foo_bar.reach       ~> foo.reach  bar.reach
  4008   foo_bar.take_lemmas ~> foo.take_lemma  bar.take_lemma
  4009 
  4010 * Some lemmas generated by the domain package have been renamed for
  4011 consistency with the datatype package, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4012 
  4013   foo.ind        ~> foo.induct
  4014   foo.finite_ind ~> foo.finite_induct
  4015   foo.coind      ~> foo.coinduct
  4016   foo.casedist   ~> foo.exhaust
  4017   foo.exhaust    ~> foo.nchotomy
  4018 
  4019 * For consistency with other definition packages, the fixrec package
  4020 now generates qualified theorem names, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4021 
  4022   foo_simps  ~> foo.simps
  4023   foo_unfold ~> foo.unfold
  4024   foo_induct ~> foo.induct
  4025 
  4026 * The "fixrec_simp" attribute has been removed.  The "fixrec_simp"
  4027 method and internal fixrec proofs now use the default simpset instead.
  4028 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4029 
  4030 * The "contlub" predicate has been removed.  Proof scripts should use
  4031 lemma contI2 in place of monocontlub2cont, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4032 
  4033 * The "admw" predicate has been removed, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4034 
  4035 * The constants cpair, cfst, and csnd have been removed in favor of
  4036 Pair, fst, and snd from Isabelle/HOL, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4037 
  4038 
  4039 *** ML ***
  4040 
  4041 * Antiquotations for basic formal entities:
  4042 
  4043     @{class NAME}         -- type class
  4044     @{class_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of the above
  4045 
  4046     @{type_name NAME}     -- logical type
  4047     @{type_abbrev NAME}   -- type abbreviation
  4048     @{nonterminal NAME}   -- type of concrete syntactic category
  4049     @{type_syntax NAME}   -- syntax representation of any of the above
  4050 
  4051     @{const_name NAME}    -- logical constant (INCOMPATIBILITY)
  4052     @{const_abbrev NAME}  -- abbreviated constant
  4053     @{const_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of any of the above
  4054 
  4055 * Antiquotation @{syntax_const NAME} ensures that NAME refers to a raw
  4056 syntax constant (cf. 'syntax' command).
  4057 
  4058 * Antiquotation @{make_string} inlines a function to print arbitrary
  4059 values similar to the ML toplevel.  The result is compiler dependent
  4060 and may fall back on "?" in certain situations.
  4061 
  4062 * Diagnostic commands 'ML_val' and 'ML_command' may refer to
  4063 antiquotations @{Isar.state} and @{Isar.goal}.  This replaces impure
  4064 Isar.state() and Isar.goal(), which belong to the old TTY loop and do
  4065 not work with the asynchronous Isar document model.
  4066 
  4067 * Configuration options now admit dynamic default values, depending on
  4068 the context or even global references.
  4069 
  4070 * SHA1.digest digests strings according to SHA-1 (see RFC 3174).  It
  4071 uses an efficient external library if available (for Poly/ML).
  4072 
  4073 * Renamed some important ML structures, while keeping the old names
  4074 for some time as aliases within the structure Legacy:
  4075 
  4076   OuterKeyword  ~>  Keyword
  4077   OuterLex      ~>  Token
  4078   OuterParse    ~>  Parse
  4079   OuterSyntax   ~>  Outer_Syntax
  4080   PrintMode     ~>  Print_Mode
  4081   SpecParse     ~>  Parse_Spec
  4082   ThyInfo       ~>  Thy_Info
  4083   ThyLoad       ~>  Thy_Load
  4084   ThyOutput     ~>  Thy_Output
  4085   TypeInfer     ~>  Type_Infer
  4086 
  4087 Note that "open Legacy" simplifies porting of sources, but forgetting
  4088 to remove it again will complicate porting again in the future.
  4089 
  4090 * Most operations that refer to a global context are named
  4091 accordingly, e.g. Simplifier.global_context or
  4092 ProofContext.init_global.  There are some situations where a global
  4093 context actually works, but under normal circumstances one needs to
  4094 pass the proper local context through the code!
  4095 
  4096 * Discontinued old TheoryDataFun with its copy/init operation -- data
  4097 needs to be pure.  Functor Theory_Data_PP retains the traditional
  4098 Pretty.pp argument to merge, which is absent in the standard
  4099 Theory_Data version.
  4100 
  4101 * Sorts.certify_sort and derived "cert" operations for types and terms
  4102 no longer minimize sorts.  Thus certification at the boundary of the
  4103 inference kernel becomes invariant under addition of class relations,
  4104 which is an important monotonicity principle.  Sorts are now minimized
  4105 in the syntax layer only, at the boundary between the end-user and the
  4106 system.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY, may have to use Sign.minimize_sort
  4107 explicitly in rare situations.
  4108 
  4109 * Renamed old-style Drule.standard to Drule.export_without_context, to
  4110 emphasize that this is in no way a standard operation.
  4111 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4112 
  4113 * Subgoal.FOCUS (and variants): resulting goal state is normalized as
  4114 usual for resolution.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4115 
  4116 * Renamed varify/unvarify operations to varify_global/unvarify_global
  4117 to emphasize that these only work in a global situation (which is
  4118 quite rare).
  4119 
  4120 * Curried take and drop in library.ML; negative length is interpreted
  4121 as infinity (as in chop).  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4122 
  4123 * Proof terms: type substitutions on proof constants now use canonical
  4124 order of type variables.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools working with proof
  4125 terms.
  4126 
  4127 * Raw axioms/defs may no longer carry sort constraints, and raw defs
  4128 may no longer carry premises.  User-level specifications are
  4129 transformed accordingly by Thm.add_axiom/add_def.
  4130 
  4131 
  4132 *** System ***
  4133 
  4134 * Discontinued special HOL_USEDIR_OPTIONS for the main HOL image;
  4135 ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS applies uniformly to all sessions.  Note that
  4136 proof terms are enabled unconditionally in the new HOL-Proofs image.
  4137 
  4138 * Discontinued old ISABELLE and ISATOOL environment settings (legacy
  4139 feature since Isabelle2009).  Use ISABELLE_PROCESS and ISABELLE_TOOL,
  4140 respectively.
  4141 
  4142 * Old lib/scripts/polyml-platform is superseded by the
  4143 ISABELLE_PLATFORM setting variable, which defaults to the 32 bit
  4144 variant, even on a 64 bit machine.  The following example setting
  4145 prefers 64 bit if available:
  4146 
  4147   ML_PLATFORM="${ISABELLE_PLATFORM64:-$ISABELLE_PLATFORM}"
  4148 
  4149 * The preliminary Isabelle/jEdit application demonstrates the emerging
  4150 Isabelle/Scala layer for advanced prover interaction and integration.
  4151 See src/Tools/jEdit or "isabelle jedit" provided by the properly built
  4152 component.
  4153 
  4154 * "IsabelleText" is a Unicode font derived from Bitstream Vera Mono
  4155 and Bluesky TeX fonts.  It provides the usual Isabelle symbols,
  4156 similar to the default assignment of the document preparation system
  4157 (cf. isabellesym.sty).  The Isabelle/Scala class Isabelle_System
  4158 provides some operations for direct access to the font without asking
  4159 the user for manual installation.
  4160 
  4161 
  4162 
  4163 New in Isabelle2009-1 (December 2009)
  4164 -------------------------------------
  4165 
  4166 *** General ***
  4167 
  4168 * Discontinued old form of "escaped symbols" such as \\<forall>.  Only
  4169 one backslash should be used, even in ML sources.
  4170 
  4171 
  4172 *** Pure ***
  4173 
  4174 * Locale interpretation propagates mixins along the locale hierarchy.
  4175 The currently only available mixins are the equations used to map
  4176 local definitions to terms of the target domain of an interpretation.
  4177 
  4178 * Reactivated diagnostic command 'print_interps'.  Use "print_interps
  4179 loc" to print all interpretations of locale "loc" in the theory.
  4180 Interpretations in proofs are not shown.
  4181 
  4182 * Thoroughly revised locales tutorial.  New section on conditional
  4183 interpretation.
  4184 
  4185 * On instantiation of classes, remaining undefined class parameters
  4186 are formally declared.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4187 
  4188 
  4189 *** Document preparation ***
  4190 
  4191 * New generalized style concept for printing terms: @{foo (style) ...}
  4192 instead of @{foo_style style ...}  (old form is still retained for
  4193 backward compatibility).  Styles can be also applied for
  4194 antiquotations prop, term_type and typeof.
  4195 
  4196 
  4197 *** HOL ***
  4198 
  4199 * New proof method "smt" for a combination of first-order logic with
  4200 equality, linear and nonlinear (natural/integer/real) arithmetic, and
  4201 fixed-size bitvectors; there is also basic support for higher-order
  4202 features (esp. lambda abstractions).  It is an incomplete decision
  4203 procedure based on external SMT solvers using the oracle mechanism;
  4204 for the SMT solver Z3, this method is proof-producing.  Certificates
  4205 are provided to avoid calling the external solvers solely for
  4206 re-checking proofs.  Due to a remote SMT service there is no need for
  4207 installing SMT solvers locally.  See src/HOL/SMT.
  4208 
  4209 * New commands to load and prove verification conditions generated by
  4210 the Boogie program verifier or derived systems (e.g. the Verifying C
  4211 Compiler (VCC) or Spec#).  See src/HOL/Boogie.
  4212 
  4213 * New counterexample generator tool 'nitpick' based on the Kodkod
  4214 relational model finder.  See src/HOL/Tools/Nitpick and
  4215 src/HOL/Nitpick_Examples.
  4216 
  4217 * New commands 'code_pred' and 'values' to invoke the predicate
  4218 compiler and to enumerate values of inductive predicates.
  4219 
  4220 * A tabled implementation of the reflexive transitive closure.
  4221 
  4222 * New implementation of quickcheck uses generic code generator;
  4223 default generators are provided for all suitable HOL types, records
  4224 and datatypes.  Old quickcheck can be re-activated importing theory
  4225 Library/SML_Quickcheck.
  4226 
  4227 * New testing tool Mirabelle for automated proof tools.  Applies
  4228 several tools and tactics like sledgehammer, metis, or quickcheck, to
  4229 every proof step in a theory.  To be used in batch mode via the
  4230 "mirabelle" utility.
  4231 
  4232 * New proof method "sos" (sum of squares) for nonlinear real
  4233 arithmetic (originally due to John Harison). It requires theory
  4234 Library/Sum_Of_Squares.  It is not a complete decision procedure but
  4235 works well in practice on quantifier-free real arithmetic with +, -,
  4236 *, ^, =, <= and <, i.e. boolean combinations of equalities and
  4237 inequalities between polynomials.  It makes use of external
  4238 semidefinite programming solvers.  Method "sos" generates a
  4239 certificate that can be pasted into the proof thus avoiding the need
  4240 to call an external tool every time the proof is checked.  See
  4241 src/HOL/Library/Sum_Of_Squares.
  4242 
  4243 * New method "linarith" invokes existing linear arithmetic decision
  4244 procedure only.
  4245 
  4246 * New command 'atp_minimal' reduces result produced by Sledgehammer.
  4247 
  4248 * New Sledgehammer option "Full Types" in Proof General settings menu.
  4249 Causes full type information to be output to the ATPs.  This slows
  4250 ATPs down considerably but eliminates a source of unsound "proofs"
  4251 that fail later.
  4252 
  4253 * New method "metisFT": A version of metis that uses full type
  4254 information in order to avoid failures of proof reconstruction.
  4255 
  4256 * New evaluator "approximate" approximates an real valued term using
  4257 the same method as the approximation method.
  4258 
  4259 * Method "approximate" now supports arithmetic expressions as
  4260 boundaries of intervals and implements interval splitting and Taylor
  4261 series expansion.
  4262 
  4263 * ML antiquotation @{code_datatype} inserts definition of a datatype
  4264 generated by the code generator; e.g. see src/HOL/Predicate.thy.
  4265 
  4266 * New theory SupInf of the supremum and infimum operators for sets of
  4267 reals.
  4268 
  4269 * New theory Probability, which contains a development of measure
  4270 theory, eventually leading to Lebesgue integration and probability.
  4271 
  4272 * Extended Multivariate Analysis to include derivation and Brouwer's
  4273 fixpoint theorem.
  4274 
  4275 * Reorganization of number theory, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4276   - new number theory development for nat and int, in theories Divides
  4277     and GCD as well as in new session Number_Theory
  4278   - some constants and facts now suffixed with _nat and _int
  4279     accordingly
  4280   - former session NumberTheory now named Old_Number_Theory, including
  4281     theories Legacy_GCD and Primes (prefer Number_Theory if possible)
  4282   - moved theory Pocklington from src/HOL/Library to
  4283     src/HOL/Old_Number_Theory
  4284 
  4285 * Theory GCD includes functions Gcd/GCD and Lcm/LCM for the gcd and
  4286 lcm of finite and infinite sets. It is shown that they form a complete
  4287 lattice.
  4288 
  4289 * Class semiring_div requires superclass no_zero_divisors and proof of
  4290 div_mult_mult1; theorems div_mult_mult1, div_mult_mult2,
  4291 div_mult_mult1_if, div_mult_mult1 and div_mult_mult2 have been
  4292 generalized to class semiring_div, subsuming former theorems
  4293 zdiv_zmult_zmult1, zdiv_zmult_zmult1_if, zdiv_zmult_zmult1 and
  4294 zdiv_zmult_zmult2.  div_mult_mult1 is now [simp] by default.
  4295 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4296 
  4297 * Refinements to lattice classes and sets:
  4298   - less default intro/elim rules in locale variant, more default
  4299     intro/elim rules in class variant: more uniformity
  4300   - lemma ge_sup_conv renamed to le_sup_iff, in accordance with
  4301     le_inf_iff
  4302   - dropped lemma alias inf_ACI for inf_aci (same for sup_ACI and
  4303     sup_aci)
  4304   - renamed ACI to inf_sup_aci
  4305   - new class "boolean_algebra"
  4306   - class "complete_lattice" moved to separate theory
  4307     "Complete_Lattice"; corresponding constants (and abbreviations)
  4308     renamed and with authentic syntax:
  4309     Set.Inf ~>    Complete_Lattice.Inf
  4310     Set.Sup ~>    Complete_Lattice.Sup
  4311     Set.INFI ~>   Complete_Lattice.INFI
  4312     Set.SUPR ~>   Complete_Lattice.SUPR
  4313     Set.Inter ~>  Complete_Lattice.Inter
  4314     Set.Union ~>  Complete_Lattice.Union
  4315     Set.INTER ~>  Complete_Lattice.INTER
  4316     Set.UNION ~>  Complete_Lattice.UNION
  4317   - authentic syntax for
  4318     Set.Pow
  4319     Set.image
  4320   - mere abbreviations:
  4321     Set.empty               (for bot)
  4322     Set.UNIV                (for top)
  4323     Set.inter               (for inf, formerly Set.Int)
  4324     Set.union               (for sup, formerly Set.Un)
  4325     Complete_Lattice.Inter  (for Inf)
  4326     Complete_Lattice.Union  (for Sup)
  4327     Complete_Lattice.INTER  (for INFI)
  4328     Complete_Lattice.UNION  (for SUPR)
  4329   - object-logic definitions as far as appropriate
  4330 
  4331 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Care is required when theorems Int_subset_iff or
  4332 Un_subset_iff are explicitly deleted as default simp rules; then also
  4333 their lattice counterparts le_inf_iff and le_sup_iff have to be
  4334 deleted to achieve the desired effect.
  4335 
  4336 * Rules inf_absorb1, inf_absorb2, sup_absorb1, sup_absorb2 are no simp
  4337 rules by default any longer; the same applies to min_max.inf_absorb1
  4338 etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4339 
  4340 * Rules sup_Int_eq and sup_Un_eq are no longer declared as
  4341 pred_set_conv by default.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4342 
  4343 * Power operations on relations and functions are now one dedicated
  4344 constant "compow" with infix syntax "^^".  Power operation on
  4345 multiplicative monoids retains syntax "^" and is now defined generic
  4346 in class power.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4347 
  4348 * Relation composition "R O S" now has a more standard argument order:
  4349 "R O S = {(x, z). EX y. (x, y) : R & (y, z) : S}".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4350 rewrite propositions with "S O R" --> "R O S". Proofs may occasionally
  4351 break, since the O_assoc rule was not rewritten like this.  Fix using
  4352 O_assoc[symmetric].  The same applies to the curried version "R OO S".
  4353 
  4354 * Function "Inv" is renamed to "inv_into" and function "inv" is now an
  4355 abbreviation for "inv_into UNIV".  Lemmas are renamed accordingly.
  4356 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4357 
  4358 * Most rules produced by inductive and datatype package have mandatory
  4359 prefixes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4360 
  4361 * Changed "DERIV_intros" to a dynamic fact, which can be augmented by
  4362 the attribute of the same name.  Each of the theorems in the list
  4363 DERIV_intros assumes composition with an additional function and
  4364 matches a variable to the derivative, which has to be solved by the
  4365 Simplifier.  Hence (auto intro!: DERIV_intros) computes the derivative
  4366 of most elementary terms.  Former Maclauren.DERIV_tac and
  4367 Maclauren.deriv_tac should be replaced by (auto intro!: DERIV_intros).
  4368 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4369 
  4370 * Code generator attributes follow the usual underscore convention:
  4371     code_unfold     replaces    code unfold
  4372     code_post       replaces    code post
  4373     etc.
  4374   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4375 
  4376 * Renamed methods:
  4377     sizechange -> size_change
  4378     induct_scheme -> induction_schema
  4379   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4380 
  4381 * Discontinued abbreviation "arbitrary" of constant "undefined".
  4382 INCOMPATIBILITY, use "undefined" directly.
  4383 
  4384 * Renamed theorems:
  4385     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  4386     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1_left -> Suc_eq_plus1_left
  4387     Suc_plus1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  4388     *anti_sym -> *antisym*
  4389     vector_less_eq_def -> vector_le_def
  4390   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4391 
  4392 * Added theorem List.map_map as [simp].  Removed List.map_compose.
  4393 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4394 
  4395 * Removed predicate "M hassize n" (<--> card M = n & finite M).
  4396 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4397 
  4398 
  4399 *** HOLCF ***
  4400 
  4401 * Theory Representable defines a class "rep" of domains that are
  4402 representable (via an ep-pair) in the universal domain type "udom".
  4403 Instances are provided for all type constructors defined in HOLCF.
  4404 
  4405 * The 'new_domain' command is a purely definitional version of the
  4406 domain package, for representable domains.  Syntax is identical to the
  4407 old domain package.  The 'new_domain' package also supports indirect
  4408 recursion using previously-defined type constructors.  See
  4409 src/HOLCF/ex/New_Domain.thy for examples.
  4410 
  4411 * Method "fixrec_simp" unfolds one step of a fixrec-defined constant
  4412 on the left-hand side of an equation, and then performs
  4413 simplification.  Rewriting is done using rules declared with the
  4414 "fixrec_simp" attribute.  The "fixrec_simp" method is intended as a
  4415 replacement for "fixpat"; see src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples.
  4416 
  4417 * The pattern-match compiler in 'fixrec' can now handle constructors
  4418 with HOL function types.  Pattern-match combinators for the Pair
  4419 constructor are pre-configured.
  4420 
  4421 * The 'fixrec' package now produces better fixed-point induction rules
  4422 for mutually-recursive definitions:  Induction rules have conclusions
  4423 of the form "P foo bar" instead of "P <foo, bar>".
  4424 
  4425 * The constant "sq_le" (with infix syntax "<<" or "\<sqsubseteq>") has
  4426 been renamed to "below".  The name "below" now replaces "less" in many
  4427 theorem names.  (Legacy theorem names using "less" are still supported
  4428 as well.)
  4429 
  4430 * The 'fixrec' package now supports "bottom patterns".  Bottom
  4431 patterns can be used to generate strictness rules, or to make
  4432 functions more strict (much like the bang-patterns supported by the
  4433 Glasgow Haskell Compiler).  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  4434 examples.
  4435 
  4436 
  4437 *** ML ***
  4438 
  4439 * Support for Poly/ML 5.3.0, with improved reporting of compiler
  4440 errors and run-time exceptions, including detailed source positions.
  4441 
  4442 * Structure Name_Space (formerly NameSpace) now manages uniquely
  4443 identified entries, with some additional information such as source
  4444 position, logical grouping etc.
  4445 
  4446 * Theory and context data is now introduced by the simplified and
  4447 modernized functors Theory_Data, Proof_Data, Generic_Data.  Data needs
  4448 to be pure, but the old TheoryDataFun for mutable data (with explicit
  4449 copy operation) is still available for some time.
  4450 
  4451 * Structure Synchronized (cf. src/Pure/Concurrent/synchronized.ML)
  4452 provides a high-level programming interface to synchronized state
  4453 variables with atomic update.  This works via pure function
  4454 application within a critical section -- its runtime should be as
  4455 short as possible; beware of deadlocks if critical code is nested,
  4456 either directly or indirectly via other synchronized variables!
  4457 
  4458 * Structure Unsynchronized (cf. src/Pure/ML-Systems/unsynchronized.ML)
  4459 wraps raw ML references, explicitly indicating their non-thread-safe
  4460 behaviour.  The Isar toplevel keeps this structure open, to
  4461 accommodate Proof General as well as quick and dirty interactive
  4462 experiments with references.
  4463 
  4464 * PARALLEL_CHOICE and PARALLEL_GOALS provide basic support for
  4465 parallel tactical reasoning.
  4466 
  4467 * Tacticals Subgoal.FOCUS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PREMS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PARAMS
  4468 are similar to SUBPROOF, but are slightly more flexible: only the
  4469 specified parts of the subgoal are imported into the context, and the
  4470 body tactic may introduce new subgoals and schematic variables.
  4471 
  4472 * Old tactical METAHYPS, which does not observe the proof context, has
  4473 been renamed to Old_Goals.METAHYPS and awaits deletion.  Use SUBPROOF
  4474 or Subgoal.FOCUS etc.
  4475 
  4476 * Renamed functor TableFun to Table, and GraphFun to Graph.  (Since
  4477 functors have their own ML name space there is no point to mark them
  4478 separately.)  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4479 
  4480 * Renamed NamedThmsFun to Named_Thms.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4481 
  4482 * Renamed several structures FooBar to Foo_Bar.  Occasional,
  4483 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4484 
  4485 * Operations of structure Skip_Proof no longer require quick_and_dirty
  4486 mode, which avoids critical setmp.
  4487 
  4488 * Eliminated old Attrib.add_attributes, Method.add_methods and related
  4489 combinators for "args".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use simplified
  4490 Attrib/Method.setup introduced in Isabelle2009.
  4491 
  4492 * Proper context for simpset_of, claset_of, clasimpset_of.  May fall
  4493 back on global_simpset_of, global_claset_of, global_clasimpset_of as
  4494 last resort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4495 
  4496 * Display.pretty_thm now requires a proper context (cf. former
  4497 ProofContext.pretty_thm).  May fall back on Display.pretty_thm_global
  4498 or even Display.pretty_thm_without_context as last resort.
  4499 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4500 
  4501 * Discontinued Display.pretty_ctyp/cterm etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  4502 Syntax.pretty_typ/term directly, preferably with proper context
  4503 instead of global theory.
  4504 
  4505 
  4506 *** System ***
  4507 
  4508 * Further fine tuning of parallel proof checking, scales up to 8 cores
  4509 (max. speedup factor 5.0).  See also Goal.parallel_proofs in ML and
  4510 usedir option -q.
  4511 
  4512 * Support for additional "Isabelle components" via etc/components, see
  4513 also the system manual.
  4514 
  4515 * The isabelle makeall tool now operates on all components with
  4516 IsaMakefile, not just hardwired "logics".
  4517 
  4518 * Removed "compress" option from isabelle-process and isabelle usedir;
  4519 this is always enabled.
  4520 
  4521 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 4.x versions.
  4522 
  4523 * Isabelle tool "wwwfind" provides web interface for 'find_theorems'
  4524 on a given logic image.  This requires the lighttpd webserver and is
  4525 currently supported on Linux only.
  4526 
  4527 
  4528 
  4529 New in Isabelle2009 (April 2009)
  4530 --------------------------------
  4531 
  4532 *** General ***
  4533 
  4534 * Simplified main Isabelle executables, with less surprises on
  4535 case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  4536 
  4537   - The main Isabelle tool wrapper is now called "isabelle" instead of
  4538     "isatool."
  4539 
  4540   - The former "isabelle" alias for "isabelle-process" has been
  4541     removed (should rarely occur to regular users).
  4542 
  4543   - The former "isabelle-interface" and its alias "Isabelle" have been
  4544     removed (interfaces are now regular Isabelle tools).
  4545 
  4546 Within scripts and make files, the Isabelle environment variables
  4547 ISABELLE_TOOL and ISABELLE_PROCESS replace old ISATOOL and ISABELLE,
  4548 respectively.  (The latter are still available as legacy feature.)
  4549 
  4550 The old isabelle-interface wrapper could react in confusing ways if
  4551 the interface was uninstalled or changed otherwise.  Individual
  4552 interface tool configuration is now more explicit, see also the
  4553 Isabelle system manual.  In particular, Proof General is now available
  4554 via "isabelle emacs".
  4555 
  4556 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt derivative scripts.  Users may need to
  4557 purge installed copies of Isabelle executables and re-run "isabelle
  4558 install -p ...", or use symlinks.
  4559 
  4560 * The default for ISABELLE_HOME_USER is now ~/.isabelle instead of the
  4561 old ~/isabelle, which was slightly non-standard and apt to cause
  4562 surprises on case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  4563 
  4564 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to move existing ~/isabelle/etc,
  4565 ~/isabelle/heaps, ~/isabelle/browser_info to the new place.  Special
  4566 care is required when using older releases of Isabelle.  Note that
  4567 ISABELLE_HOME_USER can be changed in Isabelle/etc/settings of any
  4568 Isabelle distribution, in order to use the new ~/.isabelle uniformly.
  4569 
  4570 * Proofs of fully specified statements are run in parallel on
  4571 multi-core systems.  A speedup factor of 2.5 to 3.2 can be expected on
  4572 a regular 4-core machine, if the initial heap space is made reasonably
  4573 large (cf. Poly/ML option -H).  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  4574 
  4575 * The main reference manuals ("isar-ref", "implementation", and
  4576 "system") have been updated and extended.  Formally checked references
  4577 as hyperlinks are now available uniformly.
  4578 
  4579 
  4580 *** Pure ***
  4581 
  4582 * Complete re-implementation of locales.  INCOMPATIBILITY in several
  4583 respects.  The most important changes are listed below.  See the
  4584 Tutorial on Locales ("locales" manual) for details.
  4585 
  4586 - In locale expressions, instantiation replaces renaming.  Parameters
  4587 must be declared in a for clause.  To aid compatibility with previous
  4588 parameter inheritance, in locale declarations, parameters that are not
  4589 'touched' (instantiation position "_" or omitted) are implicitly added
  4590 with their syntax at the beginning of the for clause.
  4591 
  4592 - Syntax from abbreviations and definitions in locales is available in
  4593 locale expressions and context elements.  The latter is particularly
  4594 useful in locale declarations.
  4595 
  4596 - More flexible mechanisms to qualify names generated by locale
  4597 expressions.  Qualifiers (prefixes) may be specified in locale
  4598 expressions, and can be marked as mandatory (syntax: "name!:") or
  4599 optional (syntax "name?:").  The default depends for plain "name:"
  4600 depends on the situation where a locale expression is used: in
  4601 commands 'locale' and 'sublocale' prefixes are optional, in
  4602 'interpretation' and 'interpret' prefixes are mandatory.  The old
  4603 implicit qualifiers derived from the parameter names of a locale are
  4604 no longer generated.
  4605 
  4606 - Command "sublocale l < e" replaces "interpretation l < e".  The
  4607 instantiation clause in "interpretation" and "interpret" (square
  4608 brackets) is no longer available.  Use locale expressions.
  4609 
  4610 - When converting proof scripts, mandatory qualifiers in
  4611 'interpretation' and 'interpret' should be retained by default, even
  4612 if this is an INCOMPATIBILITY compared to former behavior.  In the
  4613 worst case, use the "name?:" form for non-mandatory ones.  Qualifiers
  4614 in locale expressions range over a single locale instance only.
  4615 
  4616 - Dropped locale element "includes".  This is a major INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4617 In existing theorem specifications replace the includes element by the
  4618 respective context elements of the included locale, omitting those
  4619 that are already present in the theorem specification.  Multiple
  4620 assume elements of a locale should be replaced by a single one
  4621 involving the locale predicate.  In the proof body, declarations (most
  4622 notably theorems) may be regained by interpreting the respective
  4623 locales in the proof context as required (command "interpret").
  4624 
  4625 If using "includes" in replacement of a target solely because the
  4626 parameter types in the theorem are not as general as in the target,
  4627 consider declaring a new locale with additional type constraints on
  4628 the parameters (context element "constrains").
  4629 
  4630 - Discontinued "locale (open)".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4631 
  4632 - Locale interpretation commands no longer attempt to simplify goal.
  4633 INCOMPATIBILITY: in rare situations the generated goal differs.  Use
  4634 methods intro_locales and unfold_locales to clarify.
  4635 
  4636 - Locale interpretation commands no longer accept interpretation
  4637 attributes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4638 
  4639 * Class declaration: so-called "base sort" must not be given in import
  4640 list any longer, but is inferred from the specification.  Particularly
  4641 in HOL, write
  4642 
  4643     class foo = ...
  4644 
  4645 instead of
  4646 
  4647     class foo = type + ...
  4648 
  4649 * Class target: global versions of theorems stemming do not carry a
  4650 parameter prefix any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4651 
  4652 * Class 'instance' command no longer accepts attached definitions.
  4653 INCOMPATIBILITY, use proper 'instantiation' target instead.
  4654 
  4655 * Recovered hiding of consts, which was accidentally broken in
  4656 Isabelle2007.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, ``hide const c'' really
  4657 makes c inaccessible; consider using ``hide (open) const c'' instead.
  4658 
  4659 * Slightly more coherent Pure syntax, with updated documentation in
  4660 isar-ref manual.  Removed locales meta_term_syntax and
  4661 meta_conjunction_syntax: TERM and &&& (formerly &&) are now permanent,
  4662 INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations.  Note that &&& should not be used
  4663 directly in regular applications.
  4664 
  4665 * There is a new syntactic category "float_const" for signed decimal
  4666 fractions (e.g. 123.45 or -123.45).
  4667 
  4668 * Removed exotic 'token_translation' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML
  4669 interface with 'setup' command instead.
  4670 
  4671 * Command 'local_setup' is similar to 'setup', but operates on a local
  4672 theory context.
  4673 
  4674 * The 'axiomatization' command now only works within a global theory
  4675 context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4676 
  4677 * Goal-directed proof now enforces strict proof irrelevance wrt. sort
  4678 hypotheses.  Sorts required in the course of reasoning need to be
  4679 covered by the constraints in the initial statement, completed by the
  4680 type instance information of the background theory.  Non-trivial sort
  4681 hypotheses, which rarely occur in practice, may be specified via
  4682 vacuous propositions of the form SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::c).  For example:
  4683 
  4684   lemma assumes "SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::empty)" shows False ...
  4685 
  4686 The result contains an implicit sort hypotheses as before --
  4687 SORT_CONSTRAINT premises are eliminated as part of the canonical rule
  4688 normalization.
  4689 
  4690 * Generalized Isar history, with support for linear undo, direct state
  4691 addressing etc.
  4692 
  4693 * Changed defaults for unify configuration options:
  4694 
  4695   unify_trace_bound = 50 (formerly 25)
  4696   unify_search_bound = 60 (formerly 30)
  4697 
  4698 * Different bookkeeping for code equations (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  4699 
  4700   a) On theory merge, the last set of code equations for a particular
  4701      constant is taken (in accordance with the policy applied by other
  4702      parts of the code generator framework).
  4703 
  4704   b) Code equations stemming from explicit declarations (e.g. code
  4705      attribute) gain priority over default code equations stemming
  4706      from definition, primrec, fun etc.
  4707 
  4708 * Keyword 'code_exception' now named 'code_abort'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4709 
  4710 * Unified theorem tables for both code generators.  Thus [code
  4711 func] has disappeared and only [code] remains.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4712 
  4713 * Command 'find_consts' searches for constants based on type and name
  4714 patterns, e.g.
  4715 
  4716     find_consts "_ => bool"
  4717 
  4718 By default, matching is against subtypes, but it may be restricted to
  4719 the whole type.  Searching by name is possible.  Multiple queries are
  4720 conjunctive and queries may be negated by prefixing them with a
  4721 hyphen:
  4722 
  4723     find_consts strict: "_ => bool" name: "Int" -"int => int"
  4724 
  4725 * New 'find_theorems' criterion "solves" matches theorems that
  4726 directly solve the current goal (modulo higher-order unification).
  4727 
  4728 * Auto solve feature for main theorem statements: whenever a new goal
  4729 is stated, "find_theorems solves" is called; any theorems that could
  4730 solve the lemma directly are listed as part of the goal state.
  4731 Cf. associated options in Proof General Isabelle settings menu,
  4732 enabled by default, with reasonable timeout for pathological cases of
  4733 higher-order unification.
  4734 
  4735 
  4736 *** Document preparation ***
  4737 
  4738 * Antiquotation @{lemma} now imitates a regular terminal proof,
  4739 demanding keyword 'by' and supporting the full method expression
  4740 syntax just like the Isar command 'by'.
  4741 
  4742 
  4743 *** HOL ***
  4744 
  4745 * Integrated main parts of former image HOL-Complex with HOL.  Entry
  4746 points Main and Complex_Main remain as before.
  4747 
  4748 * Logic image HOL-Plain provides a minimal HOL with the most important
  4749 tools available (inductive, datatype, primrec, ...).  This facilitates
  4750 experimentation and tool development.  Note that user applications
  4751 (and library theories) should never refer to anything below theory
  4752 Main, as before.
  4753 
  4754 * Logic image HOL-Main stops at theory Main, and thus facilitates
  4755 experimentation due to shorter build times.
  4756 
  4757 * Logic image HOL-NSA contains theories of nonstandard analysis which
  4758 were previously part of former HOL-Complex.  Entry point Hyperreal
  4759 remains valid, but theories formerly using Complex_Main should now use
  4760 new entry point Hypercomplex.
  4761 
  4762 * Generic ATP manager for Sledgehammer, based on ML threads instead of
  4763 Posix processes.  Avoids potentially expensive forking of the ML
  4764 process.  New thread-based implementation also works on non-Unix
  4765 platforms (Cygwin).  Provers are no longer hardwired, but defined
  4766 within the theory via plain ML wrapper functions.  Basic Sledgehammer
  4767 commands are covered in the isar-ref manual.
  4768 
  4769 * Wrapper scripts for remote SystemOnTPTP service allows to use
  4770 sledgehammer without local ATP installation (Vampire etc.). Other
  4771 provers may be included via suitable ML wrappers, see also
  4772 src/HOL/ATP_Linkup.thy.
  4773 
  4774 * ATP selection (E/Vampire/Spass) is now via Proof General's settings
  4775 menu.
  4776 
  4777 * The metis method no longer fails because the theorem is too trivial
  4778 (contains the empty clause).
  4779 
  4780 * The metis method now fails in the usual manner, rather than raising
  4781 an exception, if it determines that it cannot prove the theorem.
  4782 
  4783 * Method "coherent" implements a prover for coherent logic (see also
  4784 src/Tools/coherent.ML).
  4785 
  4786 * Constants "undefined" and "default" replace "arbitrary".  Usually
  4787 "undefined" is the right choice to replace "arbitrary", though
  4788 logically there is no difference.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4789 
  4790 * Command "value" now integrates different evaluation mechanisms.  The
  4791 result of the first successful evaluation mechanism is printed.  In
  4792 square brackets a particular named evaluation mechanisms may be
  4793 specified (currently, [SML], [code] or [nbe]).  See further
  4794 src/HOL/ex/Eval_Examples.thy.
  4795 
  4796 * Normalization by evaluation now allows non-leftlinear equations.
  4797 Declare with attribute [code nbe].
  4798 
  4799 * Methods "case_tac" and "induct_tac" now refer to the very same rules
  4800 as the structured Isar versions "cases" and "induct", cf. the
  4801 corresponding "cases" and "induct" attributes.  Mutual induction rules
  4802 are now presented as a list of individual projections
  4803 (e.g. foo_bar.inducts for types foo and bar); the old format with
  4804 explicit HOL conjunction is no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  4805 rare situations a different rule is selected --- notably nested tuple
  4806 elimination instead of former prod.exhaust: use explicit (case_tac t
  4807 rule: prod.exhaust) here.
  4808 
  4809 * Attributes "cases", "induct", "coinduct" support "del" option.
  4810 
  4811 * Removed fact "case_split_thm", which duplicates "case_split".
  4812 
  4813 * The option datatype has been moved to a new theory Option.  Renamed
  4814 option_map to Option.map, and o2s to Option.set, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4815 
  4816 * New predicate "strict_mono" classifies strict functions on partial
  4817 orders.  With strict functions on linear orders, reasoning about
  4818 (in)equalities is facilitated by theorems "strict_mono_eq",
  4819 "strict_mono_less_eq" and "strict_mono_less".
  4820 
  4821 * Some set operations are now proper qualified constants with
  4822 authentic syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4823 
  4824     op Int ~>   Set.Int
  4825     op Un ~>    Set.Un
  4826     INTER ~>    Set.INTER
  4827     UNION ~>    Set.UNION
  4828     Inter ~>    Set.Inter
  4829     Union ~>    Set.Union
  4830     {} ~>       Set.empty
  4831     UNIV ~>     Set.UNIV
  4832 
  4833 * Class complete_lattice with operations Inf, Sup, INFI, SUPR now in
  4834 theory Set.
  4835 
  4836 * Auxiliary class "itself" has disappeared -- classes without any
  4837 parameter are treated as expected by the 'class' command.
  4838 
  4839 * Leibnitz's Series for Pi and the arcus tangens and logarithm series.
  4840 
  4841 * Common decision procedures (Cooper, MIR, Ferrack, Approximation,
  4842 Dense_Linear_Order) are now in directory HOL/Decision_Procs.
  4843 
  4844 * Theory src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation provides the new proof
  4845 method "approximation".  It proves formulas on real values by using
  4846 interval arithmetic.  In the formulas are also the transcendental
  4847 functions sin, cos, tan, atan, ln, exp and the constant pi are
  4848 allowed. For examples see
  4849 src/HOL/Descision_Procs/ex/Approximation_Ex.thy.
  4850 
  4851 * Theory "Reflection" now resides in HOL/Library.
  4852 
  4853 * Entry point to Word library now simply named "Word".
  4854 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4855 
  4856 * Made source layout more coherent with logical distribution
  4857 structure:

  4910 
  4911 * If methods "eval" and "evaluation" encounter a structured proof
  4912 state with !!/==>, only the conclusion is evaluated to True (if
  4913 possible), avoiding strange error messages.
  4914 
  4915 * Method "sizechange" automates termination proofs using (a
  4916 modification of) the size-change principle.  Requires SAT solver.  See
  4917 src/HOL/ex/Termination.thy for examples.
  4918 
  4919 * Simplifier: simproc for let expressions now unfolds if bound
  4920 variable occurs at most once in let expression body.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4921 
  4922 * Method "arith": Linear arithmetic now ignores all inequalities when
  4923 fast_arith_neq_limit is exceeded, instead of giving up entirely.
  4924 
  4925 * New attribute "arith" for facts that should always be used
  4926 automatically by arithmetic. It is intended to be used locally in
  4927 proofs, e.g.
  4928 
  4929   assumes [arith]: "x > 0"
  4930 
  4931 Global usage is discouraged because of possible performance impact.
  4932 
  4933 * New classes "top" and "bot" with corresponding operations "top" and
  4934 "bot" in theory Orderings; instantiation of class "complete_lattice"
  4935 requires instantiation of classes "top" and "bot".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4936 
  4937 * Changed definition lemma "less_fun_def" in order to provide an
  4938 instance for preorders on functions; use lemma "less_le" instead.
  4939 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4940 
  4941 * Theory Orderings: class "wellorder" moved here, with explicit
  4942 induction rule "less_induct" as assumption.  For instantiation of
  4943 "wellorder" by means of predicate "wf", use rule wf_wellorderI.
  4944 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4945 
  4946 * Theory Orderings: added class "preorder" as superclass of "order".
  4947 INCOMPATIBILITY: Instantiation proofs for order, linorder
  4948 etc. slightly changed.  Some theorems named order_class.* now named
  4949 preorder_class.*.
  4950 
  4951 * Theory Relation: renamed "refl" to "refl_on", "reflexive" to "refl,
  4952 "diag" to "Id_on".
  4953 
  4954 * Theory Finite_Set: added a new fold combinator of type
  4955 
  4956   ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  4957 
  4958 Occasionally this is more convenient than the old fold combinator
  4959 which is now defined in terms of the new one and renamed to
  4960 fold_image.
  4961 
  4962 * Theories Ring_and_Field and OrderedGroup: The lemmas "group_simps"
  4963 and "ring_simps" have been replaced by "algebra_simps" (which can be
  4964 extended with further lemmas!).  At the moment both still exist but
  4965 the former will disappear at some point.
  4966 
  4967 * Theory Power: Lemma power_Suc is now declared as a simp rule in
  4968 class recpower.  Type-specific simp rules for various recpower types
  4969 have been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, rename old lemmas as follows:
  4970 
  4971 rat_power_0    -> power_0
  4972 rat_power_Suc  -> power_Suc
  4973 realpow_0      -> power_0
  4974 realpow_Suc    -> power_Suc
  4975 complexpow_0   -> power_0
  4976 complexpow_Suc -> power_Suc
  4977 power_poly_0   -> power_0
  4978 power_poly_Suc -> power_Suc
  4979 
  4980 * Theories Ring_and_Field and Divides: Definition of "op dvd" has been
  4981 moved to separate class dvd in Ring_and_Field; a couple of lemmas on
  4982 dvd has been generalized to class comm_semiring_1.  Likewise a bunch
  4983 of lemmas from Divides has been generalized from nat to class
  4984 semiring_div.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  This involves the following theorem
  4985 renames resulting from duplicate elimination:
  4986 
  4987     dvd_def_mod ~>          dvd_eq_mod_eq_0
  4988     zero_dvd_iff ~>         dvd_0_left_iff
  4989     dvd_0 ~>                dvd_0_right
  4990     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_DIV ~> div_by_0
  4991     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_MOD ~> mod_by_0
  4992     mult_div ~>             div_mult_self2_is_id
  4993     mult_mod ~>             mod_mult_self2_is_0
  4994 
  4995 * Theory IntDiv: removed many lemmas that are instances of class-based
  4996 generalizations (from Divides and Ring_and_Field).  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4997 rename old lemmas as follows:
  4998 
  4999 dvd_diff               -> nat_dvd_diff
  5000 dvd_zminus_iff         -> dvd_minus_iff
  5001 mod_add1_eq            -> mod_add_eq
  5002 mod_mult1_eq           -> mod_mult_right_eq
  5003 mod_mult1_eq'          -> mod_mult_left_eq
  5004 mod_mult_distrib_mod   -> mod_mult_eq
  5005 nat_mod_add_left_eq    -> mod_add_left_eq

  5044 
  5045 * Theory Rational: 'Fract k 0' now equals '0'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5046 
  5047 * The real numbers offer decimal input syntax: 12.34 is translated
  5048 into 1234/10^2. This translation is not reversed upon output.
  5049 
  5050 * Theory Library/Polynomial defines an abstract type 'a poly of
  5051 univariate polynomials with coefficients of type 'a.  In addition to
  5052 the standard ring operations, it also supports div and mod.  Code
  5053 generation is also supported, using list-style constructors.
  5054 
  5055 * Theory Library/Inner_Product defines a class of real_inner for real
  5056 inner product spaces, with an overloaded operation inner :: 'a => 'a
  5057 => real.  Class real_inner is a subclass of real_normed_vector from
  5058 theory RealVector.
  5059 
  5060 * Theory Library/Product_Vector provides instances for the product
  5061 type 'a * 'b of several classes from RealVector and Inner_Product.
  5062 Definitions of addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, norms,
  5063 and inner products are included.
  5064 
  5065 * Theory Library/Bit defines the field "bit" of integers modulo 2.  In
  5066 addition to the field operations, numerals and case syntax are also
  5067 supported.
  5068 
  5069 * Theory Library/Diagonalize provides constructive version of Cantor's
  5070 first diagonalization argument.
  5071 
  5072 * Theory Library/GCD: Curried operations gcd, lcm (for nat) and zgcd,
  5073 zlcm (for int); carried together from various gcd/lcm developements in
  5074 the HOL Distribution.  Constants zgcd and zlcm replace former igcd and
  5075 ilcm; corresponding theorems renamed accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  5076 may recover tupled syntax as follows:
  5077 
  5078     hide (open) const gcd
  5079     abbreviation gcd where
  5080       "gcd == (%(a, b). GCD.gcd a b)"
  5081     notation (output)
  5082       GCD.gcd ("gcd '(_, _')")
  5083 
  5084 The same works for lcm, zgcd, zlcm.
  5085 
  5086 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity: added addition, numeral syntax and more
  5087 instantiations for algebraic structures.  Removed some duplicate
  5088 theorems.  Changes in simp rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5089 
  5090 * ML antiquotation @{code} takes a constant as argument and generates
  5091 corresponding code in background and inserts name of the corresponding
  5092 resulting ML value/function/datatype constructor binding in place.
  5093 All occurrences of @{code} with a single ML block are generated
  5094 simultaneously.  Provides a generic and safe interface for
  5095 instrumentalizing code generation.  See
  5096 src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Ferrack.thy for a more ambitious application.
  5097 In future you ought to refrain from ad-hoc compiling generated SML
  5098 code on the ML toplevel.  Note that (for technical reasons) @{code}
  5099 cannot refer to constants for which user-defined serializations are
  5100 set.  Refer to the corresponding ML counterpart directly in that
  5101 cases.
  5102 
  5103 * Command 'rep_datatype': instead of theorem names the command now
  5104 takes a list of terms denoting the constructors of the type to be
  5105 represented as datatype.  The characteristic theorems have to be
  5106 proven.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Also observe that the following theorems
  5107 have disappeared in favour of existing ones:
  5108 
  5109     unit_induct                 ~> unit.induct
  5110     prod_induct                 ~> prod.induct
  5111     sum_induct                  ~> sum.induct
  5112     Suc_Suc_eq                  ~> nat.inject
  5113     Suc_not_Zero Zero_not_Suc   ~> nat.distinct
  5114 
  5115 
  5116 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  5117 
  5118 * New locales for orders and lattices where the equivalence relation
  5119 is not restricted to equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY: all order and lattice
  5120 locales use a record structure with field eq for the equivalence.
  5121 
  5122 * New theory of factorial domains.
  5123 
  5124 * Units_l_inv and Units_r_inv are now simp rules by default.
  5125 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Simplifier proof that require deletion of l_inv
  5126 and/or r_inv will now also require deletion of these lemmas.
  5127 
  5128 * Renamed the following theorems, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5129 
  5130 UpperD ~> Upper_memD
  5131 LowerD ~> Lower_memD
  5132 least_carrier ~> least_closed
  5133 greatest_carrier ~> greatest_closed
  5134 greatest_Lower_above ~> greatest_Lower_below
  5135 one_zero ~> carrier_one_zero
  5136 one_not_zero ~> carrier_one_not_zero  (collision with assumption)
  5137 
  5138 
  5139 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  5140 
  5141 * Nominal datatypes can now contain type-variables.
  5142 
  5143 * Commands 'nominal_inductive' and 'equivariance' work with local
  5144 theory targets.
  5145 
  5146 * Nominal primrec can now works with local theory targets and its
  5147 specification syntax now conforms to the general format as seen in
  5148 'inductive' etc.
  5149 
  5150 * Method "perm_simp" honours the standard simplifier attributes
  5151 (no_asm), (no_asm_use) etc.
  5152 
  5153 * The new predicate #* is defined like freshness, except that on the
  5154 left hand side can be a set or list of atoms.
  5155 
  5156 * Experimental command 'nominal_inductive2' derives strong induction
  5157 principles for inductive definitions.  In contrast to
  5158 'nominal_inductive', which can only deal with a fixed number of
  5159 binders, it can deal with arbitrary expressions standing for sets of
  5160 atoms to be avoided.  The only inductive definition we have at the
  5161 moment that needs this generalisation is the typing rule for Lets in
  5162 the algorithm W:
  5163 
  5164  Gamma |- t1 : T1   (x,close Gamma T1)::Gamma |- t2 : T2   x#Gamma
  5165  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  5166          Gamma |- Let x be t1 in t2 : T2
  5167 
  5168 In this rule one wants to avoid all the binders that are introduced by
  5169 "close Gamma T1".  We are looking for other examples where this
  5170 feature might be useful.  Please let us know.
  5171 
  5172 
  5173 *** HOLCF ***
  5174 
  5175 * Reimplemented the simplification procedure for proving continuity
  5176 subgoals.  The new simproc is extensible; users can declare additional
  5177 continuity introduction rules with the attribute [cont2cont].
  5178 
  5179 * The continuity simproc now uses a different introduction rule for
  5180 solving continuity subgoals on terms with lambda abstractions.  In
  5181 some rare cases the new simproc may fail to solve subgoals that the
  5182 old one could solve, and "simp add: cont2cont_LAM" may be necessary.
  5183 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5184 
  5185 * Command 'fixrec': specification syntax now conforms to the general
  5186 format as seen in 'inductive' etc.  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  5187 examples.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5188 
  5189 
  5190 *** ZF ***
  5191 
  5192 * Proof of Zorn's Lemma for partial orders.
  5193 
  5194 
  5195 *** ML ***
  5196 
  5197 * Multithreading for Poly/ML 5.1/5.2 is no longer supported, only for
  5198 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.  Important note: the TimeLimit facility
  5199 depends on multithreading, so timouts will not work before Poly/ML
  5200 5.2.1!
  5201 
  5202 * High-level support for concurrent ML programming, see
  5203 src/Pure/Cuncurrent.  The data-oriented model of "future values" is
  5204 particularly convenient to organize independent functional
  5205 computations.  The concept of "synchronized variables" provides a
  5206 higher-order interface for components with shared state, avoiding the
  5207 delicate details of mutexes and condition variables.  (Requires
  5208 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  5209 
  5210 * ML bindings produced via Isar commands are stored within the Isar
  5211 context (theory or proof).  Consequently, commands like 'use' and 'ML'
  5212 become thread-safe and work with undo as expected (concerning
  5213 top-level bindings, not side-effects on global references).
  5214 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to provide proper Isar context when invoking the
  5215 compiler at runtime; really global bindings need to be given outside a
  5216 theory.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  5217 
  5218 * Command 'ML_prf' is analogous to 'ML' but works within a proof
  5219 context.  Top-level ML bindings are stored within the proof context in
  5220 a purely sequential fashion, disregarding the nested proof structure.
  5221 ML bindings introduced by 'ML_prf' are discarded at the end of the
  5222 proof.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  5223 
  5224 * Simplified ML attribute and method setup, cf. functions Attrib.setup
  5225 and Method.setup, as well as Isar commands 'attribute_setup' and
  5226 'method_setup'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for 'method_setup', need to simplify
  5227 existing code accordingly, or use plain 'setup' together with old
  5228 Method.add_method.
  5229 
  5230 * Simplified ML oracle interface Thm.add_oracle promotes 'a -> cterm
  5231 to 'a -> thm, while results are always tagged with an authentic oracle
  5232 name.  The Isar command 'oracle' is now polymorphic, no argument type
  5233 is specified.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify existing oracle code
  5234 accordingly.  Note that extra performance may be gained by producing
  5235 the cterm carefully, avoiding slow Thm.cterm_of.
  5236 
  5237 * Simplified interface for defining document antiquotations via
  5238 ThyOutput.antiquotation, ThyOutput.output, and optionally
  5239 ThyOutput.maybe_pretty_source.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify user
  5240 antiquotations accordingly, see src/Pure/Thy/thy_output.ML for common
  5241 examples.
  5242 
  5243 * More systematic treatment of long names, abstract name bindings, and
  5244 name space operations.  Basic operations on qualified names have been
  5245 move from structure NameSpace to Long_Name, e.g. Long_Name.base_name,
  5246 Long_Name.append.  Old type bstring has been mostly replaced by
  5247 abstract type binding (see structure Binding), which supports precise
  5248 qualification by packages and local theory targets, as well as proper
  5249 tracking of source positions.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to wrap old
  5250 bstring values into Binding.name, or better pass through abstract
  5251 bindings everywhere.  See further src/Pure/General/long_name.ML,
  5252 src/Pure/General/binding.ML and src/Pure/General/name_space.ML
  5253 
  5254 * Result facts (from PureThy.note_thms, ProofContext.note_thms,
  5255 LocalTheory.note etc.) now refer to the *full* internal name, not the
  5256 bstring as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY, not detected by ML type-checking!
  5257 
  5258 * Disposed old type and term read functions (Sign.read_def_typ,
  5259 Sign.read_typ, Sign.read_def_terms, Sign.read_term,
  5260 Thm.read_def_cterms, Thm.read_cterm etc.).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should
  5261 use regular Syntax.read_typ, Syntax.read_term, Syntax.read_typ_global,
  5262 Syntax.read_term_global etc.; see also OldGoals.read_term as last
  5263 resort for legacy applications.
  5264 
  5265 * Disposed old declarations, tactics, tactic combinators that refer to
  5266 the simpset or claset of an implicit theory (such as Addsimps,
  5267 Simp_tac, SIMPSET).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should use @{simpset} etc. in
  5268 embedded ML text, or local_simpset_of with a proper context passed as
  5269 explicit runtime argument.
  5270 
  5271 * Rules and tactics that read instantiations (read_instantiate,
  5272 res_inst_tac, thin_tac, subgoal_tac etc.) now demand a proper proof
  5273 context, which is required for parsing and type-checking.  Moreover,
  5274 the variables are specified as plain indexnames, not string encodings
  5275 thereof.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5276 
  5277 * Generic Toplevel.add_hook interface allows to analyze the result of
  5278 transactions.  E.g. see src/Pure/ProofGeneral/proof_general_pgip.ML
  5279 for theorem dependency output of transactions resulting in a new
  5280 theory state.
  5281 
  5282 * ML antiquotations: block-structured compilation context indicated by
  5283 \<lbrace> ... \<rbrace>; additional antiquotation forms:
  5284 
  5285   @{binding name}                         - basic name binding
  5286   @{let ?pat = term}                      - term abbreviation (HO matching)
  5287   @{note name = fact}                     - fact abbreviation
  5288   @{thm fact}                             - singleton fact (with attributes)
  5289   @{thms fact}                            - general fact (with attributes)
  5290   @{lemma prop by method}                 - singleton goal
  5291   @{lemma prop by meth1 meth2}            - singleton goal
  5292   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by method}      - general goal
  5293   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by meth1 meth2} - general goal
  5294   @{lemma (open) ...}                     - open derivation
  5295 
  5296 
  5297 *** System ***
  5298 
  5299 * The Isabelle "emacs" tool provides a specific interface to invoke
  5300 Proof General / Emacs, with more explicit failure if that is not
  5301 installed (the old isabelle-interface script silently falls back on
  5302 isabelle-process).  The PROOFGENERAL_HOME setting determines the
  5303 installation location of the Proof General distribution.
  5304 
  5305 * Isabelle/lib/classes/Pure.jar provides basic support to integrate
  5306 the Isabelle process into a JVM/Scala application.  See
  5307 Isabelle/lib/jedit/plugin for a minimal example.  (The obsolete Java
  5308 process wrapper has been discontinued.)
  5309 
  5310 * Added homegrown Isabelle font with unicode layout, see lib/fonts.
  5311 
  5312 * Various status messages (with exact source position information) are
  5313 emitted, if proper markup print mode is enabled.  This allows
  5314 user-interface components to provide detailed feedback on internal
  5315 prover operations.
  5316 
  5317 
  5318 
  5319 New in Isabelle2008 (June 2008)
  5320 -------------------------------
  5321 
  5322 *** General ***
  5323 
  5324 * The Isabelle/Isar Reference Manual (isar-ref) has been reorganized
  5325 and updated, with formally checked references as hyperlinks.
  5326 
  5327 * Theory loader: use_thy (and similar operations) no longer set the
  5328 implicit ML context, which was occasionally hard to predict and in
  5329 conflict with concurrency.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML within Isar which
  5330 provides a proper context already.
  5331 
  5332 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  5333 file are no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, regular 'uses' and
  5334 'use' within a theory file will do the job.
  5335 
  5336 * Name space merge now observes canonical order, i.e. the second space
  5337 is inserted into the first one, while existing entries in the first
  5338 space take precedence.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, may try to
  5339 swap theory imports.
  5340 
  5341 * Syntax: symbol \<chi> is now considered a letter.  Potential
  5342 INCOMPATIBILITY in identifier syntax etc.
  5343 
  5344 * Outer syntax: string tokens no longer admit escaped white space,
  5345 which was an accidental (undocumented) feature.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5346 white space without escapes.
  5347 
  5348 * Outer syntax: string tokens may contain arbitrary character codes
  5349 specified via 3 decimal digits (as in SML).  E.g. "foo\095bar" for
  5350 "foo_bar".
  5351 
  5352 
  5353 *** Pure ***
  5354 
  5355 * Context-dependent token translations.  Default setup reverts locally
  5356 fixed variables, and adds hilite markup for undeclared frees.
  5357 
  5358 * Unused theorems can be found using the new command 'unused_thms'.
  5359 There are three ways of invoking it:
  5360 
  5361 (1) unused_thms
  5362      Only finds unused theorems in the current theory.
  5363 
  5364 (2) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n -
  5365      Finds unused theorems in the current theory and all of its ancestors,
  5366      excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of their ancestors.
  5367 
  5368 (3) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n - thy'_1 ... thy'_m
  5369      Finds unused theorems in the theories thy'_1 ... thy'_m and all of
  5370      their ancestors, excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of
  5371      their ancestors.
  5372 
  5373 In order to increase the readability of the list produced by
  5374 unused_thms, theorems that have been created by a particular instance
  5375 of a theory command such as 'inductive' or 'function' are considered
  5376 to belong to the same "group", meaning that if at least one theorem in
  5377 this group is used, the other theorems in the same group are no longer
  5378 reported as unused.  Moreover, if all theorems in the group are
  5379 unused, only one theorem in the group is displayed.
  5380 
  5381 Note that proof objects have to be switched on in order for
  5382 unused_thms to work properly (i.e. !proofs must be >= 1, which is
  5383 usually the case when using Proof General with the default settings).
  5384 
  5385 * Authentic naming of facts disallows ad-hoc overwriting of previous
  5386 theorems within the same name space.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to remove
  5387 duplicate fact bindings, or even accidental fact duplications.  Note
  5388 that tools may maintain dynamically scoped facts systematically, using
  5389 PureThy.add_thms_dynamic.
  5390 
  5391 * Command 'hide' now allows to hide from "fact" name space as well.
  5392 
  5393 * Eliminated destructive theorem database, simpset, claset, and
  5394 clasimpset.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, really need to observe linear
  5395 update of theories within ML code.
  5396 
  5397 * Eliminated theory ProtoPure and CPure, leaving just one Pure theory.
  5398 INCOMPATIBILITY, object-logics depending on former Pure require
  5399 additional setup PureThy.old_appl_syntax_setup; object-logics
  5400 depending on former CPure need to refer to Pure.
  5401 
  5402 * Commands 'use' and 'ML' are now purely functional, operating on
  5403 theory/local_theory.  Removed former 'ML_setup' (on theory), use 'ML'
  5404 instead.  Added 'ML_val' as mere diagnostic replacement for 'ML'.
  5405 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5406 
  5407 * Command 'setup': discontinued implicit version with ML reference.
  5408 
  5409 * Instantiation target allows for simultaneous specification of class
  5410 instance operations together with an instantiation proof.
  5411 Type-checking phase allows to refer to class operations uniformly.
  5412 See src/HOL/Complex/Complex.thy for an Isar example and
  5413 src/HOL/Library/Eval.thy for an ML example.
  5414 
  5415 * Indexing of literal facts: be more serious about including only
  5416 facts from the visible specification/proof context, but not the
  5417 background context (locale etc.).  Affects `prop` notation and method
  5418 "fact".  INCOMPATIBILITY: need to name facts explicitly in rare
  5419 situations.
  5420 
  5421 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": removed obsolete/undocumented
  5422 "(open)" option, which used to expose internal bound variables to the
  5423 proof text.
  5424 
  5425 * Isar statements: removed obsolete case "rule_context".
  5426 INCOMPATIBILITY, better use explicit fixes/assumes.
  5427 
  5428 * Locale proofs: default proof step now includes 'unfold_locales';
  5429 hence 'proof' without argument may be used to unfold locale
  5430 predicates.
  5431 
  5432 
  5433 *** Document preparation ***
  5434 
  5435 * Simplified pdfsetup.sty: color/hyperref is used unconditionally for
  5436 both pdf and dvi (hyperlinks usually work in xdvi as well); removed
  5437 obsolete thumbpdf setup (contemporary PDF viewers do this on the
  5438 spot); renamed link color from "darkblue" to "linkcolor" (default
  5439 value unchanged, can be redefined via \definecolor); no longer sets
  5440 "a4paper" option (unnecessary or even intrusive).
  5441 
  5442 * Antiquotation @{lemma A method} proves proposition A by the given
  5443 method (either a method name or a method name plus (optional) method
  5444 arguments in parentheses) and prints A just like @{prop A}.
  5445 
  5446 
  5447 *** HOL ***
  5448 
  5449 * New primrec package.  Specification syntax conforms in style to
  5450 definition/function/....  No separate induction rule is provided.  The
  5451 "primrec" command distinguishes old-style and new-style specifications
  5452 by syntax.  The former primrec package is now named OldPrimrecPackage.
  5453 When adjusting theories, beware: constants stemming from new-style
  5454 primrec specifications have authentic syntax.
  5455 
  5456 * Metis prover is now an order of magnitude faster, and also works
  5457 with multithreading.
  5458 
  5459 * Metis: the maximum number of clauses that can be produced from a
  5460 theorem is now given by the attribute max_clauses.  Theorems that
  5461 exceed this number are ignored, with a warning printed.
  5462 
  5463 * Sledgehammer no longer produces structured proofs by default. To
  5464 enable, declare [[sledgehammer_full = true]].  Attributes
  5465 reconstruction_modulus, reconstruction_sorts renamed
  5466 sledgehammer_modulus, sledgehammer_sorts.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5467 
  5468 * Method "induct_scheme" derives user-specified induction rules
  5469 from well-founded induction and completeness of patterns. This factors
  5470 out some operations that are done internally by the function package
  5471 and makes them available separately.  See
  5472 src/HOL/ex/Induction_Scheme.thy for examples.
  5473 
  5474 * More flexible generation of measure functions for termination
  5475 proofs: Measure functions can be declared by proving a rule of the
  5476 form "is_measure f" and giving it the [measure_function] attribute.
  5477 The "is_measure" predicate is logically meaningless (always true), and
  5478 just guides the heuristic.  To find suitable measure functions, the
  5479 termination prover sets up the goal "is_measure ?f" of the appropriate
  5480 type and generates all solutions by prolog-style backwards proof using
  5481 the declared rules.
  5482 
  5483 This setup also deals with rules like 
  5484 
  5485   "is_measure f ==> is_measure (list_size f)"
  5486 
  5487 which accommodates nested datatypes that recurse through lists.
  5488 Similar rules are predeclared for products and option types.
  5489 
  5490 * Turned the type of sets "'a set" into an abbreviation for "'a => bool"
  5491 
  5492   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  5493 
  5494   - Definitions of overloaded constants on sets have to be replaced by
  5495     definitions on => and bool.
  5496 
  5497   - Some definitions of overloaded operators on sets can now be proved
  5498     using the definitions of the operators on => and bool.  Therefore,
  5499     the following theorems have been renamed:
  5500 
  5501       subset_def   -> subset_eq
  5502       psubset_def  -> psubset_eq
  5503       set_diff_def -> set_diff_eq
  5504       Compl_def    -> Compl_eq
  5505       Sup_set_def  -> Sup_set_eq
  5506       Inf_set_def  -> Inf_set_eq
  5507       sup_set_def  -> sup_set_eq
  5508       inf_set_def  -> inf_set_eq
  5509 
  5510   - Due to the incompleteness of the HO unification algorithm, some
  5511     rules such as subst may require manual instantiation, if some of
  5512     the unknowns in the rule is a set.
  5513 
  5514   - Higher order unification and forward proofs:
  5515     The proof pattern
  5516 
  5517       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5518       then have "EX S. P S" ..
  5519 
  5520     no longer works (due to the incompleteness of the HO unification
  5521     algorithm) and must be replaced by the pattern
  5522 
  5523       have "EX S. P S"
  5524       proof
  5525         show "P S" <...>
  5526       qed
  5527 
  5528   - Calculational reasoning with subst (or similar rules):
  5529     The proof pattern
  5530 
  5531       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5532       also have "S = T" <...>
  5533       finally have "P T" .
  5534 
  5535     no longer works (for similar reasons as the previous example) and
  5536     must be replaced by something like
  5537 
  5538       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5539       moreover have "S = T" <...>
  5540       ultimately have "P T" by simp
  5541 
  5542   - Tactics or packages written in ML code:
  5543     Code performing pattern matching on types via
  5544 
  5545       Type ("set", [T]) => ...
  5546 
  5547     must be rewritten. Moreover, functions like strip_type or
  5548     binder_types no longer return the right value when applied to a
  5549     type of the form
  5550 
  5551       T1 => ... => Tn => U => bool
  5552 
  5553     rather than
  5554 
  5555       T1 => ... => Tn => U set
  5556 
  5557 * Merged theories Wellfounded_Recursion, Accessible_Part and
  5558 Wellfounded_Relations to theory Wellfounded.
  5559 
  5560 * Explicit class "eq" for executable equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5561 
  5562 * Class finite no longer treats UNIV as class parameter.  Use class
  5563 enum from theory Library/Enum instead to achieve a similar effect.
  5564 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5565 
  5566 * Theory List: rule list_induct2 now has explicitly named cases "Nil"
  5567 and "Cons".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5568 
  5569 * HOL (and FOL): renamed variables in rules imp_elim and swap.
  5570 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5571 
  5572 * Theory Product_Type: duplicated lemmas split_Pair_apply and
  5573 injective_fst_snd removed, use split_eta and prod_eqI instead.
  5574 Renamed upd_fst to apfst and upd_snd to apsnd.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5575 
  5576 * Theory Nat: removed redundant lemmas that merely duplicate lemmas of
  5577 the same name in theory Orderings:
  5578 
  5579   less_trans
  5580   less_linear
  5581   le_imp_less_or_eq
  5582   le_less_trans
  5583   less_le_trans
  5584   less_not_sym
  5585   less_asym
  5586 
  5587 Renamed less_imp_le to less_imp_le_nat, and less_irrefl to
  5588 less_irrefl_nat.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to more general types
  5589 and different variable names.
  5590 
  5591 * Library/Option_ord.thy: Canonical order on option type.
  5592 
  5593 * Library/RBT.thy: Red-black trees, an efficient implementation of
  5594 finite maps.
  5595 
  5596 * Library/Countable.thy: Type class for countable types.
  5597 
  5598 * Theory Int: The representation of numerals has changed.  The infix
  5599 operator BIT and the bit datatype with constructors B0 and B1 have
  5600 disappeared.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "Int.Bit0 x" and "Int.Bit1 y" in
  5601 place of "x BIT bit.B0" and "y BIT bit.B1", respectively.  Theorems
  5602 involving BIT, B0, or B1 have been renamed with "Bit0" or "Bit1"
  5603 accordingly.
  5604 
  5605 * Theory Nat: definition of <= and < on natural numbers no longer
  5606 depend on well-founded relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Definitions
  5607 le_def and less_def have disappeared.  Consider lemmas not_less
  5608 [symmetric, where ?'a = nat] and less_eq [symmetric] instead.
  5609 
  5610 * Theory Finite_Set: locales ACf, ACe, ACIf, ACIfSL and ACIfSLlin
  5611 (whose purpose mainly is for various fold_set functionals) have been
  5612 abandoned in favor of the existing algebraic classes
  5613 ab_semigroup_mult, comm_monoid_mult, ab_semigroup_idem_mult,
  5614 lower_semilattice (resp. upper_semilattice) and linorder.
  5615 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5616 
  5617 * Theory Transitive_Closure: induct and cases rules now declare proper
  5618 case_names ("base" and "step").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5619 
  5620 * Theorem Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct generalized to complete
  5621 lattices.  The form set-specific version is available as
  5622 Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct_set.
  5623 
  5624 * Renamed theorems "power.simps" to "power_int.simps".
  5625 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5626 
  5627 * Class semiring_div provides basic abstract properties of semirings
  5628 with division and modulo operations.  Subsumes former class dvd_mod.
  5629 
  5630 * Merged theories IntDef, Numeral and IntArith into unified theory
  5631 Int.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5632 
  5633 * Theory Library/Code_Index: type "index" now represents natural
  5634 numbers rather than integers.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5635 
  5636 * New class "uminus" with operation "uminus" (split of from class
  5637 "minus" which now only has operation "minus", binary).
  5638 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5639 
  5640 * Constants "card", "internal_split", "option_map" now with authentic
  5641 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5642 
  5643 * Definitions subset_def, psubset_def, set_diff_def, Compl_def,
  5644 le_bool_def, less_bool_def, le_fun_def, less_fun_def, inf_bool_def,
  5645 sup_bool_def, Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, inf_fun_def, sup_fun_def,
  5646 Inf_fun_def, Sup_fun_def, inf_set_def, sup_set_def, Inf_set_def,
  5647 Sup_set_def, le_def, less_def, option_map_def now with object
  5648 equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5649 
  5650 * Records. Removed K_record, and replaced it by pure lambda term
  5651 %x. c. The simplifier setup is now more robust against eta expansion.
  5652 INCOMPATIBILITY: in cases explicitly referring to K_record.
  5653 
  5654 * Library/Multiset: {#a, b, c#} abbreviates {#a#} + {#b#} + {#c#}.
  5655 
  5656 * Library/ListVector: new theory of arithmetic vector operations.
  5657 
  5658 * Library/Order_Relation: new theory of various orderings as sets of
  5659 pairs.  Defines preorders, partial orders, linear orders and
  5660 well-orders on sets and on types.
  5661 
  5662 
  5663 *** ZF ***
  5664 
  5665 * Renamed some theories to allow to loading both ZF and HOL in the
  5666 same session:
  5667 
  5668   Datatype  -> Datatype_ZF
  5669   Inductive -> Inductive_ZF
  5670   Int       -> Int_ZF
  5671   IntDiv    -> IntDiv_ZF
  5672   Nat       -> Nat_ZF
  5673   List      -> List_ZF
  5674   Main      -> Main_ZF
  5675 
  5676 INCOMPATIBILITY: ZF theories that import individual theories below
  5677 Main might need to be adapted.  Regular theory Main is still
  5678 available, as trivial extension of Main_ZF.
  5679 
  5680 
  5681 *** ML ***
  5682 
  5683 * ML within Isar: antiquotation @{const name} or @{const
  5684 name(typargs)} produces statically-checked Const term.
  5685 
  5686 * Functor NamedThmsFun: data is available to the user as dynamic fact
  5687 (of the same name).  Removed obsolete print command.
  5688 
  5689 * Removed obsolete "use_legacy_bindings" function.
  5690 
  5691 * The ``print mode'' is now a thread-local value derived from a global
  5692 template (the former print_mode reference), thus access becomes
  5693 non-critical.  The global print_mode reference is for session
  5694 management only; user-code should use print_mode_value,
  5695 print_mode_active, PrintMode.setmp etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5696 
  5697 * Functions system/system_out provide a robust way to invoke external
  5698 shell commands, with propagation of interrupts (requires Poly/ML
  5699 5.2.1).  Do not use OS.Process.system etc. from the basis library!
  5700 
  5701 
  5702 *** System ***
  5703 
  5704 * Default settings: PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS no longer impose xemacs ---
  5705 in accordance with Proof General 3.7, which prefers GNU emacs.
  5706 
  5707 * isatool tty runs Isabelle process with plain tty interaction;
  5708 optional line editor may be specified via ISABELLE_LINE_EDITOR
  5709 setting, the default settings attempt to locate "ledit" and "rlwrap".
  5710 
  5711 * isatool browser now works with Cygwin as well, using general
  5712 "javapath" function defined in Isabelle process environment.
  5713 
  5714 * YXML notation provides a simple and efficient alternative to
  5715 standard XML transfer syntax.  See src/Pure/General/yxml.ML and
  5716 isatool yxml as described in the Isabelle system manual.
  5717 
  5718 * JVM class isabelle.IsabelleProcess (located in Isabelle/lib/classes)
  5719 provides general wrapper for managing an Isabelle process in a robust
  5720 fashion, with ``cooked'' output from stdin/stderr.
  5721 
  5722 * Rudimentary Isabelle plugin for jEdit (see Isabelle/lib/jedit),
  5723 based on Isabelle/JVM process wrapper (see Isabelle/lib/classes).
  5724 
  5725 * Removed obsolete THIS_IS_ISABELLE_BUILD feature.  NB: the documented
  5726 way of changing the user's settings is via
  5727 ISABELLE_HOME_USER/etc/settings, which is a fully featured bash
  5728 script.
  5729 
  5730 * Multithreading.max_threads := 0 refers to the number of actual CPU
  5731 cores of the underlying machine, which is a good starting point for
  5732 optimal performance tuning.  The corresponding usedir option -M allows
  5733 "max" as an alias for "0".  WARNING: does not work on certain versions
  5734 of Mac OS (with Poly/ML 5.1).
  5735 
  5736 * isabelle-process: non-ML sessions are run with "nice", to reduce the
  5737 adverse effect of Isabelle flooding interactive front-ends (notably
  5738 ProofGeneral / XEmacs).
  5739 
  5740 
  5741 
  5742 New in Isabelle2007 (November 2007)
  5743 -----------------------------------
  5744 
  5745 *** General ***
  5746 
  5747 * More uniform information about legacy features, notably a
  5748 warning/error of "Legacy feature: ...", depending on the state of the
  5749 tolerate_legacy_features flag (default true). FUTURE INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5750 legacy features will disappear eventually.
  5751 
  5752 * Theory syntax: the header format ``theory A = B + C:'' has been
  5753 discontinued in favour of ``theory A imports B C begin''.  Use isatool
  5754 fixheaders to convert existing theory files.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5755 
  5756 * Theory syntax: the old non-Isar theory file format has been
  5757 discontinued altogether.  Note that ML proof scripts may still be used
  5758 with Isar theories; migration is usually quite simple with the ML
  5759 function use_legacy_bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5760 
  5761 * Theory syntax: some popular names (e.g. 'class', 'declaration',
  5762 'fun', 'help', 'if') are now keywords.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use double
  5763 quotes.
  5764 
  5765 * Theory loader: be more serious about observing the static theory
  5766 header specifications (including optional directories), but not the
  5767 accidental file locations of previously successful loads.  The strict
  5768 update policy of former update_thy is now already performed by
  5769 use_thy, so the former has been removed; use_thys updates several
  5770 theories simultaneously, just as 'imports' within a theory header
  5771 specification, but without merging the results.  Potential
  5772 INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to refine theory headers and commands
  5773 ROOT.ML which depend on load order.
  5774 
  5775 * Theory loader: optional support for content-based file
  5776 identification, instead of the traditional scheme of full physical
  5777 path plus date stamp; configured by the ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT setting
  5778 (cf. the system manual).  The new scheme allows to work with
  5779 non-finished theories in persistent session images, such that source
  5780 files may be moved later on without requiring reloads.
  5781 
  5782 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  5783 file (with the same base name as the theory) are considered a legacy
  5784 feature, which will disappear eventually. Even now, the theory loader
  5785 no longer maintains dependencies on such files.
  5786 
  5787 * Syntax: the scope for resolving ambiguities via type-inference is
  5788 now limited to individual terms, instead of whole simultaneous
  5789 specifications as before. This greatly reduces the complexity of the
  5790 syntax module and improves flexibility by separating parsing and
  5791 type-checking. INCOMPATIBILITY: additional type-constraints (explicit
  5792 'fixes' etc.) are required in rare situations.
  5793 
  5794 * Syntax: constants introduced by new-style packages ('definition',
  5795 'abbreviation' etc.) are passed through the syntax module in
  5796 ``authentic mode''. This means that associated mixfix annotations
  5797 really stick to such constants, independently of potential name space
  5798 ambiguities introduced later on. INCOMPATIBILITY: constants in parse
  5799 trees are represented slightly differently, may need to adapt syntax
  5800 translations accordingly. Use CONST marker in 'translations' and
  5801 @{const_syntax} antiquotation in 'parse_translation' etc.
  5802 
  5803 * Legacy goal package: reduced interface to the bare minimum required
  5804 to keep existing proof scripts running.  Most other user-level
  5805 functions are now part of the OldGoals structure, which is *not* open
  5806 by default (consider isatool expandshort before open OldGoals).
  5807 Removed top_sg, prin, printyp, pprint_term/typ altogether, because
  5808 these tend to cause confusion about the actual goal (!) context being
  5809 used here, which is not necessarily the same as the_context().
  5810 
  5811 * Command 'find_theorems': supports "*" wild-card in "name:"
  5812 criterion; "with_dups" option.  Certain ProofGeneral versions might
  5813 support a specific search form (see ProofGeneral/CHANGES).
  5814 
  5815 * The ``prems limit'' option (cf. ProofContext.prems_limit) is now -1
  5816 by default, which means that "prems" (and also "fixed variables") are
  5817 suppressed from proof state output.  Note that the ProofGeneral
  5818 settings mechanism allows to change and save options persistently, but
  5819 older versions of Isabelle will fail to start up if a negative prems
  5820 limit is imposed.
  5821 
  5822 * Local theory targets may be specified by non-nested blocks of
  5823 ``context/locale/class ... begin'' followed by ``end''.  The body may
  5824 contain definitions, theorems etc., including any derived mechanism
  5825 that has been implemented on top of these primitives.  This concept
  5826 generalizes the existing ``theorem (in ...)'' towards more versatility
  5827 and scalability.
  5828 
  5829 * Proof General interface: proper undo of final 'end' command;
  5830 discontinued Isabelle/classic mode (ML proof scripts).
  5831 
  5832 
  5833 *** Document preparation ***
  5834 
  5835 * Added antiquotation @{theory name} which prints the given name,
  5836 after checking that it refers to a valid ancestor theory in the
  5837 current context.
  5838 
  5839 * Added antiquotations @{ML_type text} and @{ML_struct text} which
  5840 check the given source text as ML type/structure, printing verbatim.
  5841 
  5842 * Added antiquotation @{abbrev "c args"} which prints the abbreviation
  5843 "c args == rhs" given in the current context.  (Any number of
  5844 arguments may be given on the LHS.)
  5845 
  5846 
  5847 *** Pure ***
  5848 
  5849 * The 'class' package offers a combination of axclass and locale to
  5850 achieve Haskell-like type classes in Isabelle.  Definitions and
  5851 theorems within a class context produce both relative results (with
  5852 implicit parameters according to the locale context), and polymorphic
  5853 constants with qualified polymorphism (according to the class
  5854 context).  Within the body context of a 'class' target, a separate
  5855 syntax layer ("user space type system") takes care of converting
  5856 between global polymorphic consts and internal locale representation.
  5857 See src/HOL/ex/Classpackage.thy for examples (as well as main HOL).
  5858 "isatool doc classes" provides a tutorial.
  5859 
  5860 * Generic code generator framework allows to generate executable
  5861 code for ML and Haskell (including Isabelle classes).  A short usage
  5862 sketch:
  5863 
  5864     internal compilation:
  5865         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML
  5866     writing SML code to a file:
  5867         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML <filename>

  5886

  5888       {(target) <and-list of const target syntax>}+
  5889 
  5890     code_type <and-list of type constructors>
  5891       {(target) <and-list of type target syntax>}+
  5892 
  5893     code_instance <and-list of instances>
  5894       {(target)}+
  5895         where instance ::= <type constructor> :: <class>
  5896

  5898       {(target) <and-list of class target syntax>}+
  5899         where class target syntax ::= <class name> {where {<classop> == <target syntax>}+}?
  5900 
  5901 code_instance and code_class only are effective to target Haskell.
  5902 
  5903 For example usage see src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator.thy and
  5904 src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator_Pretty.thy.  A separate tutorial on code
  5905 generation from Isabelle/HOL theories is available via "isatool doc
  5906 codegen".
  5907 
  5908 * Code generator: consts in 'consts_code' Isar commands are now
  5909 referred to by usual term syntax (including optional type
  5910 annotations).
  5911 
  5912 * Command 'no_translations' removes translation rules from theory
  5913 syntax.
  5914 
  5915 * Overloaded definitions are now actually checked for acyclic
  5916 dependencies.  The overloading scheme is slightly more general than
  5917 that of Haskell98, although Isabelle does not demand an exact
  5918 correspondence to type class and instance declarations.
  5919 INCOMPATIBILITY, use ``defs (unchecked overloaded)'' to admit more
  5920 exotic versions of overloading -- at the discretion of the user!
  5921 
  5922 Polymorphic constants are represented via type arguments, i.e. the
  5923 instantiation that matches an instance against the most general
  5924 declaration given in the signature.  For example, with the declaration
  5925 c :: 'a => 'a => 'a, an instance c :: nat => nat => nat is represented
  5926 as c(nat).  Overloading is essentially simultaneous structural
  5927 recursion over such type arguments.  Incomplete specification patterns
  5928 impose global constraints on all occurrences, e.g. c('a * 'a) on the
  5929 LHS means that more general c('a * 'b) will be disallowed on any RHS.
  5930 Command 'print_theory' outputs the normalized system of recursive
  5931 equations, see section "definitions".
  5932 
  5933 * Configuration options are maintained within the theory or proof
  5934 context (with name and type bool/int/string), providing a very simple
  5935 interface to a poor-man's version of general context data.  Tools may
  5936 declare options in ML (e.g. using Attrib.config_int) and then refer to
  5937 these values using Config.get etc.  Users may change options via an
  5938 associated attribute of the same name.  This form of context
  5939 declaration works particularly well with commands 'declare' or
  5940 'using', for example ``declare [[foo = 42]]''.  Thus it has become
  5941 very easy to avoid global references, which would not observe Isar
  5942 toplevel undo/redo and fail to work with multithreading.
  5943 
  5944 Various global ML references of Pure and HOL have been turned into
  5945 configuration options:
  5946 
  5947   Unify.search_bound		unify_search_bound
  5948   Unify.trace_bound		unify_trace_bound
  5949   Unify.trace_simp		unify_trace_simp
  5950   Unify.trace_types		unify_trace_types
  5951   Simplifier.simp_depth_limit	simp_depth_limit
  5952   Blast.depth_limit		blast_depth_limit
  5953   DatatypeProp.dtK		datatype_distinctness_limit
  5954   fast_arith_neq_limit  	fast_arith_neq_limit
  5955   fast_arith_split_limit	fast_arith_split_limit
  5956 
  5957 * Named collections of theorems may be easily installed as context
  5958 data using the functor NamedThmsFun (see also
  5959 src/Pure/Tools/named_thms.ML).  The user may add or delete facts via
  5960 attributes; there is also a toplevel print command.  This facility is
  5961 just a common case of general context data, which is the preferred way
  5962 for anything more complex than just a list of facts in canonical
  5963 order.
  5964 
  5965 * Isar: command 'declaration' augments a local theory by generic
  5966 declaration functions written in ML.  This enables arbitrary content
  5967 being added to the context, depending on a morphism that tells the
  5968 difference of the original declaration context wrt. the application
  5969 context encountered later on.
  5970 
  5971 * Isar: proper interfaces for simplification procedures.  Command
  5972 'simproc_setup' declares named simprocs (with match patterns, and body
  5973 text in ML).  Attribute "simproc" adds/deletes simprocs in the current
  5974 context.  ML antiquotation @{simproc name} retrieves named simprocs.
  5975 
  5976 * Isar: an extra pair of brackets around attribute declarations
  5977 abbreviates a theorem reference involving an internal dummy fact,
  5978 which will be ignored later --- only the effect of the attribute on
  5979 the background context will persist.  This form of in-place
  5980 declarations is particularly useful with commands like 'declare' and
  5981 'using', for example ``have A using [[simproc a]] by simp''.
  5982 
  5983 * Isar: method "assumption" (and implicit closing of subproofs) now
  5984 takes simple non-atomic goal assumptions into account: after applying
  5985 an assumption as a rule the resulting subgoals are solved by atomic
  5986 assumption steps.  This is particularly useful to finish 'obtain'
  5987 goals, such as "!!x. (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> P x ==> thesis",
  5988 without referring to the original premise "!!x. P x ==> thesis" in the
  5989 Isar proof context.  POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY: method "assumption" is
  5990 more permissive.
  5991 
  5992 * Isar: implicit use of prems from the Isar proof context is
  5993 considered a legacy feature.  Common applications like ``have A .''
  5994 may be replaced by ``have A by fact'' or ``note `A`''.  In general,
  5995 referencing facts explicitly here improves readability and
  5996 maintainability of proof texts.
  5997 
  5998 * Isar: improper proof element 'guess' is like 'obtain', but derives
  5999 the obtained context from the course of reasoning!  For example:
  6000 
  6001   assume "EX x y. A x & B y"   -- "any previous fact"
  6002   then guess x and y by clarify
  6003 
  6004 This technique is potentially adventurous, depending on the facts and
  6005 proof tools being involved here.
  6006 
  6007 * Isar: known facts from the proof context may be specified as literal
  6008 propositions, using ASCII back-quote syntax.  This works wherever
  6009 named facts used to be allowed so far, in proof commands, proof
  6010 methods, attributes etc.  Literal facts are retrieved from the context
  6011 according to unification of type and term parameters.  For example,
  6012 provided that "A" and "A ==> B" and "!!x. P x ==> Q x" are known
  6013 theorems in the current context, then these are valid literal facts:
  6014 `A` and `A ==> B` and `!!x. P x ==> Q x" as well as `P a ==> Q a` etc.
  6015 
  6016 There is also a proof method "fact" which does the same composition
  6017 for explicit goal states, e.g. the following proof texts coincide with
  6018 certain special cases of literal facts:
  6019 
  6020   have "A" by fact                 ==  note `A`
  6021   have "A ==> B" by fact           ==  note `A ==> B`
  6022   have "!!x. P x ==> Q x" by fact  ==  note `!!x. P x ==> Q x`
  6023   have "P a ==> Q a" by fact       ==  note `P a ==> Q a`
  6024 
  6025 * Isar: ":" (colon) is no longer a symbolic identifier character in
  6026 outer syntax.  Thus symbolic identifiers may be used without
  6027 additional white space in declarations like this: ``assume *: A''.
  6028 
  6029 * Isar: 'print_facts' prints all local facts of the current context,
  6030 both named and unnamed ones.
  6031 
  6032 * Isar: 'def' now admits simultaneous definitions, e.g.:
  6033 
  6034   def x == "t" and y == "u"
  6035 
  6036 * Isar: added command 'unfolding', which is structurally similar to
  6037 'using', but affects both the goal state and facts by unfolding given
  6038 rewrite rules.  Thus many occurrences of the 'unfold' method or
  6039 'unfolded' attribute may be replaced by first-class proof text.
  6040 
  6041 * Isar: methods 'unfold' / 'fold', attributes 'unfolded' / 'folded',
  6042 and command 'unfolding' now all support object-level equalities
  6043 (potentially conditional).  The underlying notion of rewrite rule is
  6044 analogous to the 'rule_format' attribute, but *not* that of the
  6045 Simplifier (which is usually more generous).
  6046 
  6047 * Isar: the new attribute [rotated n] (default n = 1) rotates the
  6048 premises of a theorem by n. Useful in conjunction with drule.
  6049 
  6050 * Isar: the goal restriction operator [N] (default N = 1) evaluates a
  6051 method expression within a sandbox consisting of the first N
  6052 sub-goals, which need to exist.  For example, ``simp_all [3]''
  6053 simplifies the first three sub-goals, while (rule foo, simp_all)[]
  6054 simplifies all new goals that emerge from applying rule foo to the
  6055 originally first one.
  6056 
  6057 * Isar: schematic goals are no longer restricted to higher-order
  6058 patterns; e.g. ``lemma "?P(?x)" by (rule TrueI)'' now works as
  6059 expected.
  6060 
  6061 * Isar: the conclusion of a long theorem statement is now either
  6062 'shows' (a simultaneous conjunction, as before), or 'obtains'
  6063 (essentially a disjunction of cases with local parameters and
  6064 assumptions).  The latter allows to express general elimination rules
  6065 adequately; in this notation common elimination rules look like this:
  6066 
  6067   lemma exE:    -- "EX x. P x ==> (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6068     assumes "EX x. P x"
  6069     obtains x where "P x"
  6070 
  6071   lemma conjE:  -- "A & B ==> (A ==> B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6072     assumes "A & B"
  6073     obtains A and B
  6074 
  6075   lemma disjE:  -- "A | B ==> (A ==> thesis) ==> (B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6076     assumes "A | B"
  6077     obtains
  6078       A
  6079     | B
  6080 
  6081 The subsequent classical rules even refer to the formal "thesis"
  6082 explicitly:
  6083 
  6084   lemma classical:     -- "(~ thesis ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6085     obtains "~ thesis"
  6086 
  6087   lemma Peirce's_Law:  -- "((thesis ==> something) ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6088     obtains "thesis ==> something"
  6089 
  6090 The actual proof of an 'obtains' statement is analogous to that of the
  6091 Isar proof element 'obtain', only that there may be several cases.
  6092 Optional case names may be specified in parentheses; these will be
  6093 available both in the present proof and as annotations in the
  6094 resulting rule, for later use with the 'cases' method (cf. attribute
  6095 case_names).
  6096 
  6097 * Isar: the assumptions of a long theorem statement are available as
  6098 "assms" fact in the proof context.  This is more appropriate than the
  6099 (historical) "prems", which refers to all assumptions of the current
  6100 context, including those from the target locale, proof body etc.
  6101 
  6102 * Isar: 'print_statement' prints theorems from the current theory or
  6103 proof context in long statement form, according to the syntax of a
  6104 top-level lemma.
  6105 
  6106 * Isar: 'obtain' takes an optional case name for the local context
  6107 introduction rule (default "that").
  6108 
  6109 * Isar: removed obsolete 'concl is' patterns.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  6110 explicit (is "_ ==> ?foo") in the rare cases where this still happens
  6111 to occur.
  6112 
  6113 * Pure: syntax "CONST name" produces a fully internalized constant
  6114 according to the current context.  This is particularly useful for
  6115 syntax translations that should refer to internal constant
  6116 representations independently of name spaces.
  6117 
  6118 * Pure: syntax constant for foo (binder "FOO ") is called "foo_binder"
  6119 instead of "FOO ". This allows multiple binder declarations to coexist
  6120 in the same context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6121 
  6122 * Isar/locales: 'notation' provides a robust interface to the 'syntax'
  6123 primitive that also works in a locale context (both for constants and
  6124 fixed variables). Type declaration and internal syntactic representation
  6125 of given constants retrieved from the context. Likewise, the
  6126 'no_notation' command allows to remove given syntax annotations from the
  6127 current context.
  6128 
  6129 * Isar/locales: new derived specification elements 'axiomatization',
  6130 'definition', 'abbreviation', which support type-inference, admit
  6131 object-level specifications (equality, equivalence).  See also the
  6132 isar-ref manual.  Examples:
  6133 
  6134   axiomatization
  6135     eq  (infix "===" 50) where
  6136     eq_refl: "x === x" and eq_subst: "x === y ==> P x ==> P y"
  6137 
  6138   definition "f x y = x + y + 1"
  6139   definition g where "g x = f x x"
  6140 
  6141   abbreviation
  6142     neq  (infix "=!=" 50) where
  6143     "x =!= y == ~ (x === y)"
  6144 
  6145 These specifications may be also used in a locale context.  Then the
  6146 constants being introduced depend on certain fixed parameters, and the
  6147 constant name is qualified by the locale base name.  An internal
  6148 abbreviation takes care for convenient input and output, making the
  6149 parameters implicit and using the original short name.  See also
  6150 src/HOL/ex/Abstract_NAT.thy for an example of deriving polymorphic
  6151 entities from a monomorphic theory.
  6152 
  6153 Presently, abbreviations are only available 'in' a target locale, but
  6154 not inherited by general import expressions.  Also note that
  6155 'abbreviation' may be used as a type-safe replacement for 'syntax' +
  6156 'translations' in common applications.  The "no_abbrevs" print mode
  6157 prevents folding of abbreviations in term output.
  6158 
  6159 Concrete syntax is attached to specified constants in internal form,
  6160 independently of name spaces.  The parse tree representation is
  6161 slightly different -- use 'notation' instead of raw 'syntax', and
  6162 'translations' with explicit "CONST" markup to accommodate this.
  6163 
  6164 * Pure/Isar: unified syntax for new-style specification mechanisms
  6165 (e.g.  'definition', 'abbreviation', or 'inductive' in HOL) admits
  6166 full type inference and dummy patterns ("_").  For example:
  6167 
  6168   definition "K x _ = x"
  6169 
  6170   inductive conj for A B
  6171   where "A ==> B ==> conj A B"
  6172 
  6173 * Pure: command 'print_abbrevs' prints all constant abbreviations of
  6174 the current context.  Print mode "no_abbrevs" prevents inversion of
  6175 abbreviations on output.
  6176 
  6177 * Isar/locales: improved parameter handling: use of locales "var" and
  6178 "struct" no longer necessary; - parameter renamings are no longer
  6179 required to be injective.  For example, this allows to define
  6180 endomorphisms as locale endom = homom mult mult h.
  6181 
  6182 * Isar/locales: changed the way locales with predicates are defined.
  6183 Instead of accumulating the specification, the imported expression is
  6184 now an interpretation.  INCOMPATIBILITY: different normal form of
  6185 locale expressions.  In particular, in interpretations of locales with
  6186 predicates, goals repesenting already interpreted fragments are not
  6187 removed automatically.  Use methods `intro_locales' and
  6188 `unfold_locales'; see below.
  6189 
  6190 * Isar/locales: new methods `intro_locales' and `unfold_locales'
  6191 provide backward reasoning on locales predicates.  The methods are
  6192 aware of interpretations and discharge corresponding goals.
  6193 `intro_locales' is less aggressive then `unfold_locales' and does not
  6194 unfold predicates to assumptions.
  6195 
  6196 * Isar/locales: the order in which locale fragments are accumulated
  6197 has changed.  This enables to override declarations from fragments due
  6198 to interpretations -- for example, unwanted simp rules.
  6199 
  6200 * Isar/locales: interpretation in theories and proof contexts has been
  6201 extended.  One may now specify (and prove) equations, which are
  6202 unfolded in interpreted theorems.  This is useful for replacing
  6203 defined concepts (constants depending on locale parameters) by
  6204 concepts already existing in the target context.  Example:
  6205 
  6206   interpretation partial_order ["op <= :: [int, int] => bool"]
  6207     where "partial_order.less (op <=) (x::int) y = (x < y)"
  6208 
  6209 Typically, the constant `partial_order.less' is created by a
  6210 definition specification element in the context of locale
  6211 partial_order.
  6212 
  6213 * Method "induct": improved internal context management to support
  6214 local fixes and defines on-the-fly. Thus explicit meta-level
  6215 connectives !!  and ==> are rarely required anymore in inductive goals
  6216 (using object-logic connectives for this purpose has been long
  6217 obsolete anyway). Common proof patterns are explained in
  6218 src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, see also
  6219 src/HOL/Isar_examples/Puzzle.thy and src/HOL/Lambda for realistic
  6220 examples.
  6221 
  6222 * Method "induct": improved handling of simultaneous goals. Instead of
  6223 introducing object-level conjunction, the statement is now split into
  6224 several conclusions, while the corresponding symbolic cases are nested
  6225 accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY, proofs need to be structured explicitly,
  6226 see src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, for example.
  6227 
  6228 * Method "induct": mutual induction rules are now specified as a list
  6229 of rule sharing the same induction cases. HOL packages usually provide
  6230 foo_bar.inducts for mutually defined items foo and bar (e.g. inductive
  6231 predicates/sets or datatypes). INCOMPATIBILITY, users need to specify
  6232 mutual induction rules differently, i.e. like this:
  6233 
  6234   (induct rule: foo_bar.inducts)
  6235   (induct set: foo bar)
  6236   (induct pred: foo bar)
  6237   (induct type: foo bar)
  6238 
  6239 The ML function ProjectRule.projections turns old-style rules into the
  6240 new format.
  6241 
  6242 * Method "coinduct": dual of induction, see
  6243 src/HOL/Library/Coinductive_List.thy for various examples.
  6244 
  6245 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": the ``(open)'' option is
  6246 considered a legacy feature.
  6247 
  6248 * Attribute "symmetric" produces result with standardized schematic
  6249 variables (index 0).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6250 
  6251 * Simplifier: by default the simplifier trace only shows top level
  6252 rewrites now. That is, trace_simp_depth_limit is set to 1 by
  6253 default. Thus there is less danger of being flooded by the trace. The
  6254 trace indicates where parts have been suppressed.
  6255   
  6256 * Provers/classical: removed obsolete classical version of elim_format
  6257 attribute; classical elim/dest rules are now treated uniformly when
  6258 manipulating the claset.
  6259 
  6260 * Provers/classical: stricter checks to ensure that supplied intro,
  6261 dest and elim rules are well-formed; dest and elim rules must have at
  6262 least one premise.
  6263 
  6264 * Provers/classical: attributes dest/elim/intro take an optional
  6265 weight argument for the rule (just as the Pure versions).  Weights are
  6266 ignored by automated tools, but determine the search order of single
  6267 rule steps.
  6268 
  6269 * Syntax: input syntax now supports dummy variable binding "%_. b",
  6270 where the body does not mention the bound variable.  Note that dummy
  6271 patterns implicitly depend on their context of bounds, which makes
  6272 "{_. _}" match any set comprehension as expected.  Potential
  6273 INCOMPATIBILITY -- parse translations need to cope with syntactic
  6274 constant "_idtdummy" in the binding position.
  6275 
  6276 * Syntax: removed obsolete syntactic constant "_K" and its associated
  6277 parse translation.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- use dummy abstraction instead,
  6278 for example "A -> B" => "Pi A (%_. B)".
  6279 
  6280 * Pure: 'class_deps' command visualizes the subclass relation, using
  6281 the graph browser tool.
  6282 
  6283 * Pure: 'print_theory' now suppresses certain internal declarations by
  6284 default; use '!' option for full details.
  6285

  6303 auto_quickcheck (default true) and auto_quickcheck_time_limit (default
  6304 5000 milliseconds).  Fails silently if statements is outside of
  6305 executable fragment, or any other codgenerator problem occurs.
  6306 
  6307 * New constant "undefined" with axiom "undefined x = undefined".
  6308 
  6309 * Added class "HOL.eq", allowing for code generation with polymorphic
  6310 equality.
  6311 
  6312 * Some renaming of class constants due to canonical name prefixing in
  6313 the new 'class' package:
  6314 
  6315     HOL.abs ~> HOL.abs_class.abs
  6316     HOL.divide ~> HOL.divide_class.divide
  6317     0 ~> HOL.zero_class.zero
  6318     1 ~> HOL.one_class.one
  6319     op + ~> HOL.plus_class.plus
  6320     op - ~> HOL.minus_class.minus
  6321     uminus ~> HOL.minus_class.uminus
  6322     op * ~> HOL.times_class.times
  6323     op < ~> HOL.ord_class.less
  6324     op <= > HOL.ord_class.less_eq
  6325     Nat.power ~> Power.power_class.power
  6326     Nat.size ~> Nat.size_class.size
  6327     Numeral.number_of ~> Numeral.number_class.number_of
  6328     FixedPoint.Inf ~> Lattices.complete_lattice_class.Inf
  6329     FixedPoint.Sup ~> Lattices.complete_lattice_class.Sup
  6330     Orderings.min ~> Orderings.ord_class.min
  6331     Orderings.max ~> Orderings.ord_class.max
  6332     Divides.op div ~> Divides.div_class.div
  6333     Divides.op mod ~> Divides.div_class.mod
  6334     Divides.op dvd ~> Divides.div_class.dvd
  6335 
  6336 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Adaptions may be required in the following cases:
  6337 
  6338 a) User-defined constants using any of the names "plus", "minus",
  6339 "times", "less" or "less_eq". The standard syntax translations for
  6340 "+", "-" and "*" may go wrong.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific
  6341 names.
  6342 
  6343 b) Variables named "plus", "minus", "times", "less", "less_eq"
  6344 INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific names.
  6345 
  6346 c) Permutative equations (e.g. "a + b = b + a")
  6347 Since the change of names also changes the order of terms, permutative
  6348 rewrite rules may get applied in a different order. Experience shows
  6349 that this is rarely the case (only two adaptions in the whole Isabelle
  6350 distribution).  INCOMPATIBILITY: rewrite proofs
  6351 
  6352 d) ML code directly refering to constant names
  6353 This in general only affects hand-written proof tactics, simprocs and
  6354 so on.  INCOMPATIBILITY: grep your sourcecode and replace names.
  6355 Consider using @{const_name} antiquotation.
  6356 
  6357 * New class "default" with associated constant "default".
  6358 
  6359 * Function "sgn" is now overloaded and available on int, real, complex
  6360 (and other numeric types), using class "sgn".  Two possible defs of
  6361 sgn are given as equational assumptions in the classes sgn_if and
  6362 sgn_div_norm; ordered_idom now also inherits from sgn_if.
  6363 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6364 
  6365 * Locale "partial_order" now unified with class "order" (cf. theory
  6366 Orderings), added parameter "less".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6367 
  6368 * Renamings in classes "order" and "linorder": facts "refl", "trans" and
  6369 "cases" to "order_refl", "order_trans" and "linorder_cases", to avoid
  6370 clashes with HOL "refl" and "trans".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6371 
  6372 * Classes "order" and "linorder": potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to
  6373 changed order of proof goals in instance proofs.
  6374 
  6375 * The transitivity reasoner for partial and linear orders is set up
  6376 for classes "order" and "linorder".  Instances of the reasoner are available
  6377 in all contexts importing or interpreting the corresponding locales.
  6378 Method "order" invokes the reasoner separately; the reasoner
  6379 is also integrated with the Simplifier as a solver.  Diagnostic
  6380 command 'print_orders' shows the available instances of the reasoner
  6381 in the current context.
  6382 
  6383 * Localized monotonicity predicate in theory "Orderings"; integrated
  6384 lemmas max_of_mono and min_of_mono with this predicate.
  6385 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6386 
  6387 * Formulation of theorem "dense" changed slightly due to integration
  6388 with new class dense_linear_order.
  6389 
  6390 * Uniform lattice theory development in HOL.
  6391 
  6392     constants "meet" and "join" now named "inf" and "sup"
  6393     constant "Meet" now named "Inf"
  6394 
  6395     classes "meet_semilorder" and "join_semilorder" now named
  6396       "lower_semilattice" and "upper_semilattice"
  6397     class "lorder" now named "lattice"
  6398     class "comp_lat" now named "complete_lattice"
  6399 
  6400     Instantiation of lattice classes allows explicit definitions
  6401     for "inf" and "sup" operations (or "Inf" and "Sup" for complete lattices).
  6402 
  6403   INCOMPATIBILITY.  Theorem renames:

  6504     join_max                ~> sup_max
  6505 
  6506 * Added syntactic class "size"; overloaded constant "size" now has
  6507 type "'a::size ==> bool"
  6508 
  6509 * Internal reorganisation of `size' of datatypes: size theorems
  6510 "foo.size" are no longer subsumed by "foo.simps" (but are still
  6511 simplification rules by default!); theorems "prod.size" now named
  6512 "*.size".
  6513 
  6514 * Class "div" now inherits from class "times" rather than "type".
  6515 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6516 
  6517 * HOL/Finite_Set: "name-space" locales Lattice, Distrib_lattice,
  6518 Linorder etc.  have disappeared; operations defined in terms of
  6519 fold_set now are named Inf_fin, Sup_fin.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6520 
  6521 * HOL/Nat: neq0_conv no longer declared as iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6522 
  6523 * HOL-Word: New extensive library and type for generic, fixed size
  6524 machine words, with arithmetic, bit-wise, shifting and rotating
  6525 operations, reflection into int, nat, and bool lists, automation for
  6526 linear arithmetic (by automatic reflection into nat or int), including
  6527 lemmas on overflow and monotonicity.  Instantiated to all appropriate
  6528 arithmetic type classes, supporting automatic simplification of
  6529 numerals on all operations.
  6530 
  6531 * Library/Boolean_Algebra: locales for abstract boolean algebras.
  6532 
  6533 * Library/Numeral_Type: numbers as types, e.g. TYPE(32).
  6534 
  6535 * Code generator library theories:
  6536   - Code_Integer represents HOL integers by big integer literals in target
  6537     languages.
  6538   - Code_Char represents HOL characters by character literals in target
  6539     languages.
  6540   - Code_Char_chr like Code_Char, but also offers treatment of character
  6541     codes; includes Code_Integer.
  6542   - Executable_Set allows to generate code for finite sets using lists.
  6543   - Executable_Rat implements rational numbers as triples (sign, enumerator,
  6544     denominator).
  6545   - Executable_Real implements a subset of real numbers, namly those
  6546     representable by rational numbers.
  6547   - Efficient_Nat implements natural numbers by integers, which in general will
  6548     result in higher efficency; pattern matching with 0/Suc is eliminated;
  6549     includes Code_Integer.
  6550   - Code_Index provides an additional datatype index which is mapped to
  6551     target-language built-in integers.
  6552   - Code_Message provides an additional datatype message_string which is isomorphic to
  6553     strings; messages are mapped to target-language strings.
  6554 
  6555 * New package for inductive predicates
  6556 
  6557   An n-ary predicate p with m parameters z_1, ..., z_m can now be defined via
  6558 
  6559     inductive
  6560       p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6561       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6562     where
  6563       rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  6564     | ...
  6565 
  6566   with full support for type-inference, rather than
  6567 
  6568     consts s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6569 
  6570     abbreviation p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6571     where "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6572 
  6573     inductive "s z_1 ... z_m"
  6574     intros
  6575       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6576       ...
  6577 
  6578   For backward compatibility, there is a wrapper allowing inductive
  6579   sets to be defined with the new package via
  6580 
  6581     inductive_set
  6582       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6583       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6584     where
  6585       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6586     | ...
  6587 
  6588   or
  6589 
  6590     inductive_set
  6591       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6592       and p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6593       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6594     where
  6595       "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6596     | rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  6597     | ...
  6598 
  6599   if the additional syntax "p ..." is required.
  6600 
  6601   Numerous examples can be found in the subdirectories src/HOL/Auth,
  6602   src/HOL/Bali, src/HOL/Induct, and src/HOL/MicroJava.
  6603 
  6604   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  6605 
  6606   - Since declaration and definition of inductive sets or predicates
  6607     is no longer separated, abbreviations involving the newly
  6608     introduced sets or predicates must be specified together with the
  6609     introduction rules after the 'where' keyword (see above), rather
  6610     than before the actual inductive definition.
  6611 
  6612   - The variables in induction and elimination rules are now
  6613     quantified in the order of their occurrence in the introduction
  6614     rules, rather than in alphabetical order. Since this may break
  6615     some proofs, these proofs either have to be repaired, e.g. by
  6616     reordering the variables a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i} in Isar 'case'
  6617     statements of the form
  6618 
  6619       case (rule_i a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i})
  6620 
  6621     or the old order of quantification has to be restored by explicitly adding
  6622     meta-level quantifiers in the introduction rules, i.e.
  6623 
  6624       | rule_i: "!!a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i}. ... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_i_1 ... t_i_n"
  6625 
  6626   - The format of the elimination rules is now
  6627 
  6628       p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n ==>
  6629         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  6630         ==> ... ==> P
  6631 
  6632     for predicates and
  6633 
  6634       (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  6635         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  6636         ==> ... ==> P
  6637 
  6638     for sets rather than
  6639 
  6640       x : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  6641         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x = (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) ==> ... ==> P)
  6642         ==> ... ==> P
  6643 
  6644     This may require terms in goals to be expanded to n-tuples
  6645     (e.g. using case_tac or simplification with the split_paired_all
  6646     rule) before the above elimination rule is applicable.
  6647 
  6648   - The elimination or case analysis rules for (mutually) inductive
  6649     sets or predicates are now called "p_1.cases" ... "p_k.cases". The
  6650     list of rules "p_1_..._p_k.elims" is no longer available.
  6651 
  6652 * New package "function"/"fun" for general recursive functions,
  6653 supporting mutual and nested recursion, definitions in local contexts,
  6654 more general pattern matching and partiality. See HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy
  6655 for small examples, and the separate tutorial on the function
  6656 package. The old recdef "package" is still available as before, but
  6657 users are encouraged to use the new package.
  6658 
  6659 * Method "lexicographic_order" automatically synthesizes termination
  6660 relations as lexicographic combinations of size measures. 
  6661 
  6662 * Case-expressions allow arbitrary constructor-patterns (including
  6663 "_") and take their order into account, like in functional
  6664 programming.  Internally, this is translated into nested
  6665 case-expressions; missing cases are added and mapped to the predefined
  6666 constant "undefined". In complicated cases printing may no longer show
  6667 the original input but the internal form. Lambda-abstractions allow
  6668 the same form of pattern matching: "% pat1 => e1 | ..." is an
  6669 abbreviation for "%x. case x of pat1 => e1 | ..." where x is a new
  6670 variable.
  6671 
  6672 * IntDef: The constant "int :: nat => int" has been removed; now "int"
  6673 is an abbreviation for "of_nat :: nat => int". The simplification
  6674 rules for "of_nat" have been changed to work like "int" did
  6675 previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6676   - "of_nat (Suc m)" simplifies to "1 + of_nat m" instead of "of_nat m + 1"
  6677   - of_nat_diff and of_nat_mult are no longer default simp rules
  6678 
  6679 * Method "algebra" solves polynomial equations over (semi)rings using
  6680 Groebner bases. The (semi)ring structure is defined by locales and the
  6681 tool setup depends on that generic context. Installing the method for
  6682 a specific type involves instantiating the locale and possibly adding
  6683 declarations for computation on the coefficients.  The method is
  6684 already instantiated for natural numbers and for the axiomatic class
  6685 of idoms with numerals.  See also the paper by Chaieb and Wenzel at
  6686 CALCULEMUS 2007 for the general principles underlying this
  6687 architecture of context-aware proof-tools.
  6688 
  6689 * Method "ferrack" implements quantifier elimination over
  6690 special-purpose dense linear orders using locales (analogous to
  6691 "algebra"). The method is already installed for class
  6692 {ordered_field,recpower,number_ring} which subsumes real, hyperreal,
  6693 rat, etc.
  6694 
  6695 * Former constant "List.op @" now named "List.append".  Use ML
  6696 antiquotations @{const_name List.append} or @{term " ... @ ... "} to
  6697 circumvent possible incompatibilities when working on ML level.
  6698 
  6699 * primrec: missing cases mapped to "undefined" instead of "arbitrary".
  6700 
  6701 * New function listsum :: 'a list => 'a for arbitrary monoids.
  6702 Special syntax: "SUM x <- xs. f x" (and latex variants)
  6703 
  6704 * New syntax for Haskell-like list comprehension (input only), eg.
  6705 [(x,y). x <- xs, y <- ys, x ~= y], see also src/HOL/List.thy.
  6706 
  6707 * The special syntax for function "filter" has changed from [x :
  6708 xs. P] to [x <- xs. P] to avoid an ambiguity caused by list
  6709 comprehension syntax, and for uniformity.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6710 
  6711 * [a..b] is now defined for arbitrary linear orders.  It used to be
  6712 defined on nat only, as an abbreviation for [a..<Suc b]
  6713 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6714 
  6715 * Renamed lemma "set_take_whileD"  to "set_takeWhileD".
  6716 
  6717 * New functions "sorted" and "sort" in src/HOL/List.thy.
  6718 
  6719 * New lemma collection field_simps (an extension of ring_simps) for
  6720 manipulating (in)equations involving division. Multiplies with all
  6721 denominators that can be proved to be non-zero (in equations) or
  6722 positive/negative (in inequations).
  6723 
  6724 * Lemma collections ring_eq_simps, group_eq_simps and ring_distrib
  6725 have been improved and renamed to ring_simps, group_simps and
  6726 ring_distribs.  Removed lemmas field_xyz in theory Ring_and_Field
  6727 because they were subsumed by lemmas xyz.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6728 
  6729 * Theory Library/Commutative_Ring: switched from recdef to function
  6730 package; constants add, mul, pow now curried.  Infix syntax for
  6731 algebraic operations.
  6732 
  6733 * Dropped redundant lemma def_imp_eq in favor of meta_eq_to_obj_eq.
  6734 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6735 
  6736 * Dropped redundant lemma if_def2 in favor of if_bool_eq_conj.
  6737 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6738 
  6739 * HOL/records: generalised field-update to take a function on the
  6740 field rather than the new value: r(|A := x|) is translated to A_update
  6741 (K x) r The K-combinator that is internally used is called K_record.
  6742 INCOMPATIBILITY: Usage of the plain update functions has to be
  6743 adapted.
  6744  
  6745 * Class "semiring_0" now contains annihilation axioms x * 0 = 0 and 0
  6746 * x = 0, which are required for a semiring.  Richer structures do not
  6747 inherit from semiring_0 anymore, because this property is a theorem
  6748 there, not an axiom.  INCOMPATIBILITY: In instances of semiring_0,
  6749 there is more to prove, but this is mostly trivial.
  6750 
  6751 * Class "recpower" is generalized to arbitrary monoids, not just
  6752 commutative semirings.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to incorporate
  6753 commutativity or semiring properties additionally.
  6754 
  6755 * Constant "List.list_all2" in List.thy now uses authentic syntax.
  6756 INCOMPATIBILITY: translations containing list_all2 may go wrong,
  6757 better use 'abbreviation'.
  6758 
  6759 * Renamed constant "List.op mem" to "List.member".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6760 
  6761 * Numeral syntax: type 'bin' which was a mere type copy of 'int' has
  6762 been abandoned in favour of plain 'int'.  INCOMPATIBILITY --
  6763 significant changes for setting up numeral syntax for types:
  6764   - New constants Numeral.pred and Numeral.succ instead
  6765       of former Numeral.bin_pred and Numeral.bin_succ.
  6766   - Use integer operations instead of bin_add, bin_mult and so on.
  6767   - Numeral simplification theorems named Numeral.numeral_simps instead of Bin_simps.
  6768   - ML structure Bin_Simprocs now named Int_Numeral_Base_Simprocs.
  6769 
  6770 See src/HOL/Integ/IntArith.thy for an example setup.
  6771 
  6772 * Command 'normal_form' computes the normal form of a term that may
  6773 contain free variables.  For example ``normal_form "rev [a, b, c]"''
  6774 produces ``[b, c, a]'' (without proof).  This command is suitable for
  6775 heavy-duty computations because the functions are compiled to ML
  6776 first.  Correspondingly, a method "normalization" is provided.  See
  6777 further src/HOL/ex/NormalForm.thy and src/Tools/nbe.ML.
  6778 
  6779 * Alternative iff syntax "A <-> B" for equality on bool (with priority
  6780 25 like -->); output depends on the "iff" print_mode, the default is
  6781 "A = B" (with priority 50).
  6782 
  6783 * Relations less (<) and less_eq (<=) are also available on type bool.
  6784 Modified syntax to disallow nesting without explicit parentheses,
  6785 e.g. "(x < y) < z" or "x < (y < z)", but NOT "x < y < z".  Potential
  6786 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6787 
  6788 * "LEAST x:A. P" expands to "LEAST x. x:A & P" (input only).
  6789 
  6790 * Relation composition operator "op O" now has precedence 75 and binds
  6791 stronger than union and intersection. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6792 
  6793 * The old set interval syntax "{m..n(}" (and relatives) has been
  6794 removed.  Use "{m..<n}" (and relatives) instead.
  6795 
  6796 * In the context of the assumption "~(s = t)" the Simplifier rewrites
  6797 "t = s" to False (by simproc "neq").  INCOMPATIBILITY, consider using
  6798 ``declare [[simproc del: neq]]''.
  6799 
  6800 * Simplifier: "m dvd n" where m and n are numbers is evaluated to
  6801 True/False.
  6802 
  6803 * Theorem Cons_eq_map_conv no longer declared as "simp".
  6804 
  6805 * Theorem setsum_mult renamed to setsum_right_distrib.
  6806 
  6807 * Prefer ex1I over ex_ex1I in single-step reasoning, e.g. by the
  6808 ``rule'' method.
  6809 
  6810 * Reimplemented methods "sat" and "satx", with several improvements:
  6811 goals no longer need to be stated as "<prems> ==> False", equivalences
  6812 (i.e. "=" on type bool) are handled, variable names of the form
  6813 "lit_<n>" are no longer reserved, significant speedup.
  6814 
  6815 * Methods "sat" and "satx" can now replay MiniSat proof traces.
  6816 zChaff is still supported as well.
  6817 
  6818 * 'inductive' and 'datatype': provide projections of mutual rules,
  6819 bundled as foo_bar.inducts;
  6820 
  6821 * Library: moved theories Parity, GCD, Binomial, Infinite_Set to
  6822 Library.
  6823 
  6824 * Library: moved theory Accessible_Part to main HOL.
  6825 
  6826 * Library: added theory Coinductive_List of potentially infinite lists
  6827 as greatest fixed-point.
  6828 
  6829 * Library: added theory AssocList which implements (finite) maps as
  6830 association lists.
  6831 
  6832 * Method "evaluation" solves goals (i.e. a boolean expression)
  6833 efficiently by compiling it to ML.  The goal is "proved" (via an
  6834 oracle) if it evaluates to True.
  6835 
  6836 * Linear arithmetic now splits certain operators (e.g. min, max, abs)
  6837 also when invoked by the simplifier.  This results in the Simplifier
  6838 being more powerful on arithmetic goals.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6839 Configuration option fast_arith_split_limit=0 recovers the old
  6840 behavior.
  6841 
  6842 * Support for hex (0x20) and binary (0b1001) numerals.
  6843 
  6844 * New method: reify eqs (t), where eqs are equations for an
  6845 interpretation I :: 'a list => 'b => 'c and t::'c is an optional
  6846 parameter, computes a term s::'b and a list xs::'a list and proves the
  6847 theorem I xs s = t. This is also known as reification or quoting. The
  6848 resulting theorem is applied to the subgoal to substitute t with I xs
  6849 s.  If t is omitted, the subgoal itself is reified.
  6850 
  6851 * New method: reflection corr_thm eqs (t). The parameters eqs and (t)
  6852 are as explained above. corr_thm is a theorem for I vs (f t) = I vs t,
  6853 where f is supposed to be a computable function (in the sense of code
  6854 generattion). The method uses reify to compute s and xs as above then
  6855 applies corr_thm and uses normalization by evaluation to "prove" f s =
  6856 r and finally gets the theorem t = r, which is again applied to the
  6857 subgoal. An Example is available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy.
  6858 
  6859 * Reflection: Automatic reification now handels binding, an example is
  6860 available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy
  6861 
  6862 * HOL-Statespace: ``State Spaces: The Locale Way'' introduces a
  6863 command 'statespace' that is similar to 'record', but introduces an
  6864 abstract specification based on the locale infrastructure instead of
  6865 HOL types.  This leads to extra flexibility in composing state spaces,
  6866 in particular multiple inheritance and renaming of components.
  6867 
  6868 
  6869 *** HOL-Complex ***
  6870 
  6871 * Hyperreal: Functions root and sqrt are now defined on negative real
  6872 inputs so that root n (- x) = - root n x and sqrt (- x) = - sqrt x.
  6873 Nonnegativity side conditions have been removed from many lemmas, so
  6874 that more subgoals may now be solved by simplification; potential
  6875 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6876 
  6877 * Real: new type classes formalize real normed vector spaces and
  6878 algebras, using new overloaded constants scaleR :: real => 'a => 'a
  6879 and norm :: 'a => real.
  6880 
  6881 * Real: constant of_real :: real => 'a::real_algebra_1 injects from
  6882 reals into other types. The overloaded constant Reals :: 'a set is now
  6883 defined as range of_real; potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6884 
  6885 * Real: proper support for ML code generation, including 'quickcheck'.
  6886 Reals are implemented as arbitrary precision rationals.
  6887 
  6888 * Hyperreal: Several constants that previously worked only for the
  6889 reals have been generalized, so they now work over arbitrary vector
  6890 spaces. Type annotations may need to be added in some cases; potential
  6891 INCOMPATIBILITY.

  6907   exp            :: 'a::{recpower,real_normed_field,banach} => 'a
  6908 
  6909 * Complex: Some complex-specific constants are now abbreviations for
  6910 overloaded ones: complex_of_real = of_real, cmod = norm, hcmod =
  6911 hnorm.  Other constants have been entirely removed in favor of the
  6912 polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  6924 
  6925 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  6926 
  6927 * Formalisation of ideals and the quotient construction over rings.
  6928 
  6929 * Order and lattice theory no longer based on records.
  6930 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6931 
  6932 * Renamed lemmas least_carrier -> least_closed and greatest_carrier ->
  6933 greatest_closed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6934 
  6935 * Method algebra is now set up via an attribute.  For examples see
  6936 Ring.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY: the method is now weaker on combinations
  6937 of algebraic structures.
  6938 
  6939 * Renamed theory CRing to Ring.
  6940 
  6941 
  6942 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  6943 
  6944 * Substantial, yet incomplete support for nominal datatypes (binding
  6945 structures) based on HOL-Nominal logic.  See src/HOL/Nominal and
  6946 src/HOL/Nominal/Examples.  Prospective users should consult
  6947 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/nominal/
  6948 
  6949 
  6950 *** ML ***
  6951 
  6952 * ML basics: just one true type int, which coincides with IntInf.int
  6953 (even on SML/NJ).
  6954 
  6955 * ML within Isar: antiquotations allow to embed statically-checked
  6956 formal entities in the source, referring to the context available at
  6957 compile-time.  For example:
  6958 
  6959 ML {* @{sort "{zero,one}"} *}
  6960 ML {* @{typ "'a => 'b"} *}
  6961 ML {* @{term "%x. x"} *}
  6962 ML {* @{prop "x == y"} *}
  6963 ML {* @{ctyp "'a => 'b"} *}
  6964 ML {* @{cterm "%x. x"} *}
  6965 ML {* @{cprop "x == y"} *}
  6966 ML {* @{thm asm_rl} *}
  6967 ML {* @{thms asm_rl} *}
  6968 ML {* @{type_name c} *}
  6969 ML {* @{type_syntax c} *}
  6970 ML {* @{const_name c} *}
  6971 ML {* @{const_syntax c} *}
  6972 ML {* @{context} *}
  6973 ML {* @{theory} *}
  6974 ML {* @{theory Pure} *}
  6975 ML {* @{theory_ref} *}
  6976 ML {* @{theory_ref Pure} *}
  6977 ML {* @{simpset} *}
  6978 ML {* @{claset} *}
  6979 ML {* @{clasimpset} *}
  6980 
  6981 The same works for sources being ``used'' within an Isar context.
  6982 
  6983 * ML in Isar: improved error reporting; extra verbosity with
  6984 ML_Context.trace enabled.
  6985 
  6986 * Pure/General/table.ML: the join operations now works via exceptions
  6987 DUP/SAME instead of type option. This is simpler in simple cases, and
  6988 admits slightly more efficient complex applications.
  6989 
  6990 * Pure: 'advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) now
  6991 use Context.generic instead of just theory.
  6992 
  6993 * Pure: datatype Context.generic joins theory/Proof.context and
  6994 provides some facilities for code that works in either kind of
  6995 context, notably GenericDataFun for uniform theory and proof data.
  6996 
  6997 * Pure: simplified internal attribute type, which is now always
  6998 Context.generic * thm -> Context.generic * thm. Global (theory) vs.
  6999 local (Proof.context) attributes have been discontinued, while
  7000 minimizing code duplication. Thm.rule_attribute and
  7001 Thm.declaration_attribute build canonical attributes; see also structure
  7002 Context for further operations on Context.generic, notably
  7003 GenericDataFun. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt attribute type
  7004 declarations and definitions.
  7005 
  7006 * Context data interfaces (Theory/Proof/GenericDataFun): removed
  7007 name/print, uninitialized data defaults to ad-hoc copy of empty value,
  7008 init only required for impure data. INCOMPATIBILITY: empty really need
  7009 to be empty (no dependencies on theory content!)
  7010 
  7011 * Pure/kernel: consts certification ignores sort constraints given in
  7012 signature declarations. (This information is not relevant to the
  7013 logic, but only for type inference.) SIGNIFICANT INTERNAL CHANGE,
  7014 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7015 
  7016 * Pure: axiomatic type classes are now purely definitional, with
  7017 explicit proofs of class axioms and super class relations performed
  7018 internally. See Pure/axclass.ML for the main internal interfaces --
  7019 notably AxClass.define_class supercedes AxClass.add_axclass, and
  7020 AxClass.axiomatize_class/classrel/arity supersede
  7021 Sign.add_classes/classrel/arities.
  7022 
  7023 * Pure/Isar: Args/Attrib parsers operate on Context.generic --
  7024 global/local versions on theory vs. Proof.context have been
  7025 discontinued; Attrib.syntax and Method.syntax have been adapted
  7026 accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt parser expressions for
  7027 attributes, methods, etc.
  7028 
  7029 * Pure: several functions of signature "... -> theory -> theory * ..."
  7030 have been reoriented to "... -> theory -> ... * theory" in order to
  7031 allow natural usage in combination with the ||>, ||>>, |-> and
  7032 fold_map combinators.
  7033 
  7034 * Pure: official theorem names (closed derivations) and additional
  7035 comments (tags) are now strictly separate.  Name hints -- which are
  7036 maintained as tags -- may be attached any time without affecting the
  7037 derivation.
  7038 
  7039 * Pure: primitive rule lift_rule now takes goal cterm instead of an
  7040 actual goal state (thm).  Use Thm.lift_rule (Thm.cprem_of st i) to
  7041 achieve the old behaviour.
  7042 
  7043 * Pure: the "Goal" constant is now called "prop", supporting a
  7044 slightly more general idea of ``protecting'' meta-level rule
  7045 statements.
  7046 
  7047 * Pure: Logic.(un)varify only works in a global context, which is now
  7048 enforced instead of silently assumed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use
  7049 Logic.legacy_(un)varify as temporary workaround.
  7050 
  7051 * Pure: structure Name provides scalable operations for generating
  7052 internal variable names, notably Name.variants etc.  This replaces
  7053 some popular functions from term.ML:
  7054 
  7055   Term.variant		->  Name.variant
  7056   Term.variantlist	->  Name.variant_list
  7057   Term.invent_names	->  Name.invent_list
  7058 
  7059 Note that low-level renaming rarely occurs in new code -- operations
  7060 from structure Variable are used instead (see below).
  7061 
  7062 * Pure: structure Variable provides fundamental operations for proper
  7063 treatment of fixed/schematic variables in a context.  For example,
  7064 Variable.import introduces fixes for schematics of given facts and
  7065 Variable.export reverses the effect (up to renaming) -- this replaces
  7066 various freeze_thaw operations.
  7067 
  7068 * Pure: structure Goal provides simple interfaces for
  7069 init/conclude/finish and tactical prove operations (replacing former
  7070 Tactic.prove).  Goal.prove is the canonical way to prove results
  7071 within a given context; Goal.prove_global is a degraded version for
  7072 theory level goals, including a global Drule.standard.  Note that
  7073 OldGoals.prove_goalw_cterm has long been obsolete, since it is
  7074 ill-behaved in a local proof context (e.g. with local fixes/assumes or
  7075 in a locale context).
  7076 
  7077 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for parsing (Syntax.parse_term etc.)
  7078 and type checking (Syntax.check_term etc.), with common combinations
  7079 (Syntax.read_term etc.). These supersede former Sign.read_term etc.
  7080 which are considered legacy and await removal.
  7081 
  7082 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for type unchecking
  7083 (Syntax.uncheck_terms etc.) and unparsing (Syntax.unparse_term etc.),
  7084 with common combinations (Syntax.pretty_term, Syntax.string_of_term
  7085 etc.).  Former Sign.pretty_term, Sign.string_of_term etc. are still
  7086 available for convenience, but refer to the very same operations using
  7087 a mere theory instead of a full context.
  7088 
  7089 * Isar: simplified treatment of user-level errors, using exception
  7090 ERROR of string uniformly.  Function error now merely raises ERROR,
  7091 without any side effect on output channels.  The Isar toplevel takes
  7092 care of proper display of ERROR exceptions.  ML code may use plain
  7093 handle/can/try; cat_error may be used to concatenate errors like this:
  7094 
  7095   ... handle ERROR msg => cat_error msg "..."
  7096 
  7097 Toplevel ML code (run directly or through the Isar toplevel) may be
  7098 embedded into the Isar toplevel with exception display/debug like
  7099 this:
  7100 
  7101   Isar.toplevel (fn () => ...)
  7102 
  7103 INCOMPATIBILITY, removed special transform_error facilities, removed
  7104 obsolete variants of user-level exceptions (ERROR_MESSAGE,
  7105 Context.PROOF, ProofContext.CONTEXT, Proof.STATE, ProofHistory.FAIL)
  7106 -- use plain ERROR instead.
  7107 
  7108 * Isar: theory setup now has type (theory -> theory), instead of a
  7109 list.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use #> to compose setup functions.
  7110 
  7111 * Isar: ML toplevel pretty printer for type Proof.context, subject to
  7112 ProofContext.debug/verbose flags.
  7113 
  7114 * Isar: Toplevel.theory_to_proof admits transactions that modify the
  7115 theory before entering a proof state.  Transactions now always see a
  7116 quasi-functional intermediate checkpoint, both in interactive and
  7117 batch mode.
  7118 
  7119 * Isar: simplified interfaces for outer syntax.  Renamed
  7120 OuterSyntax.add_keywords to OuterSyntax.keywords.  Removed
  7121 OuterSyntax.add_parsers -- this functionality is now included in
  7122 OuterSyntax.command etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7123 
  7124 * Simplifier: the simpset of a running simplification process now
  7125 contains a proof context (cf. Simplifier.the_context), which is the
  7126 very context that the initial simpset has been retrieved from (by
  7127 simpset_of/local_simpset_of).  Consequently, all plug-in components
  7128 (solver, looper etc.) may depend on arbitrary proof data.
  7129 
  7130 * Simplifier.inherit_context inherits the proof context (plus the
  7131 local bounds) of the current simplification process; any simproc
  7132 etc. that calls the Simplifier recursively should do this!  Removed
  7133 former Simplifier.inherit_bounds, which is already included here --
  7134 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Tools based on low-level rewriting may even have to
  7135 specify an explicit context using Simplifier.context/theory_context.
  7136 
  7137 * Simplifier/Classical Reasoner: more abstract interfaces
  7138 change_simpset/claset for modifying the simpset/claset reference of a
  7139 theory; raw versions simpset/claset_ref etc. have been discontinued --
  7140 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7141 
  7142 * Provers: more generic wrt. syntax of object-logics, avoid hardwired
  7143 "Trueprop" etc.
  7144 
  7145 
  7146 *** System ***
  7147 
  7148 * settings: the default heap location within ISABELLE_HOME_USER now
  7149 includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER.  This simplifies use of multiple
  7150 Isabelle installations.
  7151 
  7152 * isabelle-process: option -S (secure mode) disables some critical
  7153 operations, notably runtime compilation and evaluation of ML source
  7154 code.
  7155 
  7156 * Basic Isabelle mode for jEdit, see Isabelle/lib/jedit/.
  7157 
  7158 * Support for parallel execution, using native multicore support of
  7159 Poly/ML 5.1.  The theory loader exploits parallelism when processing
  7160 independent theories, according to the given theory header
  7161 specifications. The maximum number of worker threads is specified via
  7162 usedir option -M or the "max-threads" setting in Proof General. A
  7163 speedup factor of 1.5--3.5 can be expected on a 4-core machine, and up
  7164 to 6 on a 8-core machine.  User-code needs to observe certain
  7165 guidelines for thread-safe programming, see appendix A in the Isar
  7166 Implementation manual.
  7167 
  7168 
  7169 
  7170 New in Isabelle2005 (October 2005)
  7171 ----------------------------------
  7172 
  7173 *** General ***
  7174 
  7175 * Theory headers: the new header syntax for Isar theories is
  7176 
  7177   theory <name>
  7178   imports <theory1> ... <theoryN>
  7179   uses <file1> ... <fileM>
  7180   begin
  7181 
  7182 where the 'uses' part is optional.  The previous syntax
  7183 
  7184   theory <name> = <theory1> + ... + <theoryN>:
  7185 
  7186 will disappear in the next release.  Use isatool fixheaders to convert
  7187 existing theory files.  Note that there is no change in ancient
  7188 non-Isar theories now, but these will disappear soon.
  7189 
  7190 * Theory loader: parent theories can now also be referred to via
  7191 relative and absolute paths.
  7192 
  7193 * Command 'find_theorems' searches for a list of criteria instead of a
  7194 list of constants. Known criteria are: intro, elim, dest, name:string,
  7195 simp:term, and any term. Criteria can be preceded by '-' to select
  7196 theorems that do not match. Intro, elim, dest select theorems that
  7197 match the current goal, name:s selects theorems whose fully qualified
  7198 name contain s, and simp:term selects all simplification rules whose
  7199 lhs match term.  Any other term is interpreted as pattern and selects
  7200 all theorems matching the pattern. Available in ProofGeneral under
  7201 'ProofGeneral -> Find Theorems' or C-c C-f.  Example:
  7202 
  7203   C-c C-f (100) "(_::nat) + _ + _" intro -name: "HOL."
  7204 
  7205 prints the last 100 theorems matching the pattern "(_::nat) + _ + _",
  7206 matching the current goal as introduction rule and not having "HOL."
  7207 in their name (i.e. not being defined in theory HOL).
  7208 
  7209 * Command 'thms_containing' has been discontinued in favour of
  7210 'find_theorems'; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7211 
  7212 * Communication with Proof General is now 8bit clean, which means that
  7213 Unicode text in UTF-8 encoding may be used within theory texts (both
  7214 formal and informal parts).  Cf. option -U of the Isabelle Proof
  7215 General interface.  Here are some simple examples (cf. src/HOL/ex):
  7216 
  7217   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Hebrew.html
  7218   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Chinese.html
  7219 
  7220 * Improved efficiency of the Simplifier and, to a lesser degree, the
  7221 Classical Reasoner.  Typical big applications run around 2 times
  7222 faster.
  7223 
  7224 
  7225 *** Document preparation ***
  7226 
  7227 * Commands 'display_drafts' and 'print_drafts' perform simple output
  7228 of raw sources.  Only those symbols that do not require additional
  7229 LaTeX packages (depending on comments in isabellesym.sty) are
  7230 displayed properly, everything else is left verbatim.  isatool display
  7231 and isatool print are used as front ends (these are subject to the
  7232 DVI/PDF_VIEWER and PRINT_COMMAND settings, respectively).
  7233 
  7234 * Command tags control specific markup of certain regions of text,
  7235 notably folding and hiding.  Predefined tags include "theory" (for
  7236 theory begin and end), "proof" for proof commands, and "ML" for
  7237 commands involving ML code; the additional tags "visible" and
  7238 "invisible" are unused by default.  Users may give explicit tag
  7239 specifications in the text, e.g. ''by %invisible (auto)''.  The
  7240 interpretation of tags is determined by the LaTeX job during document
  7241 preparation: see option -V of isatool usedir, or options -n and -t of
  7242 isatool document, or even the LaTeX macros \isakeeptag, \isafoldtag,
  7243 \isadroptag.
  7244 
  7245 Several document versions may be produced at the same time via isatool
  7246 usedir (the generated index.html will link all of them).  Typical
  7247 specifications include ''-V document=theory,proof,ML'' to present
  7248 theory/proof/ML parts faithfully, ''-V outline=/proof,/ML'' to fold
  7249 proof and ML commands, and ''-V mutilated=-theory,-proof,-ML'' to omit
  7250 these parts without any formal replacement text.  The Isabelle site
  7251 default settings produce ''document'' and ''outline'' versions as
  7252 specified above.
  7253 
  7254 * Several new antiquotations:
  7255 
  7256   @{term_type term} prints a term with its type annotated;
  7257 
  7258   @{typeof term} prints the type of a term;
  7259 
  7260   @{const const} is the same as @{term const}, but checks that the
  7261   argument is a known logical constant;
  7262 
  7263   @{term_style style term} and @{thm_style style thm} print a term or
  7264   theorem applying a "style" to it
  7265 
  7266   @{ML text}
  7267 
  7268 Predefined styles are 'lhs' and 'rhs' printing the lhs/rhs of
  7269 definitions, equations, inequations etc., 'concl' printing only the
  7270 conclusion of a meta-logical statement theorem, and 'prem1' .. 'prem19'
  7271 to print the specified premise.  TermStyle.add_style provides an ML
  7272 interface for introducing further styles.  See also the "LaTeX Sugar"
  7273 document practical applications.  The ML antiquotation prints
  7274 type-checked ML expressions verbatim.
  7275 
  7276 * Markup commands 'chapter', 'section', 'subsection', 'subsubsection',
  7277 and 'text' support optional locale specification '(in loc)', which
  7278 specifies the default context for interpreting antiquotations.  For
  7279 example: 'text (in lattice) {* @{thm inf_assoc}*}'.
  7280 
  7281 * Option 'locale=NAME' of antiquotations specifies an alternative
  7282 context interpreting the subsequent argument.  For example: @{thm
  7283 [locale=lattice] inf_assoc}.
  7284 
  7285 * Proper output of proof terms (@{prf ...} and @{full_prf ...}) within
  7286 a proof context.
  7287 
  7288 * Proper output of antiquotations for theory commands involving a
  7289 proof context (such as 'locale' or 'theorem (in loc) ...').
  7290 
  7291 * Delimiters of outer tokens (string etc.) now produce separate LaTeX
  7292 macros (\isachardoublequoteopen, isachardoublequoteclose etc.).
  7293 
  7294 * isatool usedir: new option -C (default true) controls whether option
  7295 -D should include a copy of the original document directory; -C false
  7296 prevents unwanted effects such as copying of administrative CVS data.
  7297 
  7298 
  7299 *** Pure ***
  7300 
  7301 * Considerably improved version of 'constdefs' command.  Now performs
  7302 automatic type-inference of declared constants; additional support for
  7303 local structure declarations (cf. locales and HOL records), see also
  7304 isar-ref manual.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to observe strictly
  7305 sequential dependencies of definitions within a single 'constdefs'
  7306 section; moreover, the declared name needs to be an identifier.  If
  7307 all fails, consider to fall back on 'consts' and 'defs' separately.
  7308 
  7309 * Improved indexed syntax and implicit structures.  First of all,
  7310 indexed syntax provides a notational device for subscripted
  7311 application, using the new syntax \<^bsub>term\<^esub> for arbitrary
  7312 expressions.  Secondly, in a local context with structure
  7313 declarations, number indexes \<^sub>n or the empty index (default
  7314 number 1) refer to a certain fixed variable implicitly; option
  7315 show_structs controls printing of implicit structures.  Typical
  7316 applications of these concepts involve record types and locales.
  7317 
  7318 * New command 'no_syntax' removes grammar declarations (and
  7319 translations) resulting from the given syntax specification, which is
  7320 interpreted in the same manner as for the 'syntax' command.
  7321 
  7322 * 'Advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) may depend
  7323 on the signature of the theory context being presently used for
  7324 parsing/printing, see also isar-ref manual.
  7325 
  7326 * Improved 'oracle' command provides a type-safe interface to turn an
  7327 ML expression of type theory -> T -> term into a primitive rule of
  7328 type theory -> T -> thm (i.e. the functionality of Thm.invoke_oracle
  7329 is already included here); see also FOL/ex/IffExample.thy;
  7330 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7331 
  7332 * axclass: name space prefix for class "c" is now "c_class" (was "c"
  7333 before); "cI" is no longer bound, use "c.intro" instead.
  7334 INCOMPATIBILITY.  This change avoids clashes of fact bindings for
  7335 axclasses vs. locales.
  7336 
  7337 * Improved internal renaming of symbolic identifiers -- attach primes
  7338 instead of base 26 numbers.
  7339 
  7340 * New flag show_question_marks controls printing of leading question
  7341 marks in schematic variable names.
  7342 
  7343 * In schematic variable names, *any* symbol following \<^isub> or
  7344 \<^isup> is now treated as part of the base name.  For example, the
  7345 following works without printing of awkward ".0" indexes:
  7346 
  7347   lemma "x\<^isub>1 = x\<^isub>2 ==> x\<^isub>2 = x\<^isub>1"
  7348     by simp
  7349 
  7350 * Inner syntax includes (*(*nested*) comments*).
  7351 
  7352 * Pretty printer now supports unbreakable blocks, specified in mixfix
  7353 annotations as "(00...)".
  7354 
  7355 * Clear separation of logical types and nonterminals, where the latter
  7356 may only occur in 'syntax' specifications or type abbreviations.
  7357 Before that distinction was only partially implemented via type class
  7358 "logic" vs. "{}".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare cases of improper
  7359 use of 'types'/'consts' instead of 'nonterminals'/'syntax'.  Some very
  7360 exotic syntax specifications may require further adaption
  7361 (e.g. Cube/Cube.thy).
  7362 
  7363 * Removed obsolete type class "logic", use the top sort {} instead.
  7364 Note that non-logical types should be declared as 'nonterminals'
  7365 rather than 'types'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for new object-logic
  7366 specifications.
  7367 
  7368 * Attributes 'induct' and 'cases': type or set names may now be
  7369 locally fixed variables as well.
  7370 
  7371 * Simplifier: can now control the depth to which conditional rewriting
  7372 is traced via the PG menu Isabelle -> Settings -> Trace Simp Depth
  7373 Limit.
  7374 
  7375 * Simplifier: simplification procedures may now take the current
  7376 simpset into account (cf. Simplifier.simproc(_i) / mk_simproc
  7377 interface), which is very useful for calling the Simplifier
  7378 recursively.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: the 'prems' argument of simprocs
  7379 is gone -- use prems_of_ss on the simpset instead.  Moreover, the
  7380 low-level mk_simproc no longer applies Logic.varify internally, to
  7381 allow for use in a context of fixed variables.
  7382 
  7383 * thin_tac now works even if the assumption being deleted contains !!
  7384 or ==>.  More generally, erule now works even if the major premise of
  7385 the elimination rule contains !! or ==>.
  7386 
  7387 * Method 'rules' has been renamed to 'iprover'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7388 
  7389 * Reorganized bootstrapping of the Pure theories; CPure is now derived
  7390 from Pure, which contains all common declarations already.  Both
  7391 theories are defined via plain Isabelle/Isar .thy files.
  7392 INCOMPATIBILITY: elements of CPure (such as the CPure.intro /
  7393 CPure.elim / CPure.dest attributes) now appear in the Pure name space;
  7394 use isatool fixcpure to adapt your theory and ML sources.
  7395 
  7396 * New syntax 'name(i-j, i-, i, ...)' for referring to specific
  7397 selections of theorems in named facts via index ranges.
  7398 
  7399 * 'print_theorems': in theory mode, really print the difference
  7400 wrt. the last state (works for interactive theory development only),
  7401 in proof mode print all local facts (cf. 'print_facts');
  7402 
  7403 * 'hide': option '(open)' hides only base names.
  7404 
  7405 * More efficient treatment of intermediate checkpoints in interactive
  7406 theory development.
  7407 
  7408 * Code generator is now invoked via code_module (incremental code
  7409 generation) and code_library (modular code generation, ML structures
  7410 for each theory).  INCOMPATIBILITY: new keywords 'file' and 'contains'
  7411 must be quoted when used as identifiers.
  7412 
  7413 * New 'value' command for reading, evaluating and printing terms using
  7414 the code generator.  INCOMPATIBILITY: command keyword 'value' must be
  7415 quoted when used as identifier.
  7416 
  7417 
  7418 *** Locales ***
  7419 
  7420 * New commands for the interpretation of locale expressions in
  7421 theories (1), locales (2) and proof contexts (3).  These generate
  7422 proof obligations from the expression specification.  After the
  7423 obligations have been discharged, theorems of the expression are added
  7424 to the theory, target locale or proof context.  The synopsis of the
  7425 commands is a follows:
  7426 
  7427   (1) interpretation expr inst
  7428   (2) interpretation target < expr
  7429   (3) interpret expr inst
  7430 
  7431 Interpretation in theories and proof contexts require a parameter
  7432 instantiation of terms from the current context.  This is applied to
  7433 specifications and theorems of the interpreted expression.
  7434 Interpretation in locales only permits parameter renaming through the
  7435 locale expression.  Interpretation is smart in that interpretations
  7436 that are active already do not occur in proof obligations, neither are
  7437 instantiated theorems stored in duplicate.  Use 'print_interps' to
  7438 inspect active interpretations of a particular locale.  For details,
  7439 see the Isar Reference manual.  Examples can be found in
  7440 HOL/Finite_Set.thy and HOL/Algebra/UnivPoly.thy.
  7441 
  7442 INCOMPATIBILITY: former 'instantiate' has been withdrawn, use
  7443 'interpret' instead.
  7444 
  7445 * New context element 'constrains' for adding type constraints to
  7446 parameters.
  7447 
  7448 * Context expressions: renaming of parameters with syntax
  7449 redeclaration.
  7450 
  7451 * Locale declaration: 'includes' disallowed.
  7452 
  7453 * Proper static binding of attribute syntax -- i.e. types / terms /
  7454 facts mentioned as arguments are always those of the locale definition
  7455 context, independently of the context of later invocations.  Moreover,
  7456 locale operations (renaming and type / term instantiation) are applied
  7457 to attribute arguments as expected.
  7458 
  7459 INCOMPATIBILITY of the ML interface: always pass Attrib.src instead of
  7460 actual attributes; rare situations may require Attrib.attribute to
  7461 embed those attributes into Attrib.src that lack concrete syntax.
  7462 Attribute implementations need to cooperate properly with the static
  7463 binding mechanism.  Basic parsers Args.XXX_typ/term/prop and
  7464 Attrib.XXX_thm etc. already do the right thing without further
  7465 intervention.  Only unusual applications -- such as "where" or "of"
  7466 (cf. src/Pure/Isar/attrib.ML), which process arguments depending both
  7467 on the context and the facts involved -- may have to assign parsed
  7468 values to argument tokens explicitly.
  7469 
  7470 * Changed parameter management in theorem generation for long goal
  7471 statements with 'includes'.  INCOMPATIBILITY: produces a different
  7472 theorem statement in rare situations.
  7473 
  7474 * Locale inspection command 'print_locale' omits notes elements.  Use
  7475 'print_locale!' to have them included in the output.
  7476 
  7477 
  7478 *** Provers ***
  7479 
  7480 * Provers/hypsubst.ML: improved version of the subst method, for
  7481 single-step rewriting: it now works in bound variable contexts. New is
  7482 'subst (asm)', for rewriting an assumption.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may
  7483 rewrite a different subterm than the original subst method, which is
  7484 still available as 'simplesubst'.
  7485 
  7486 * Provers/quasi.ML: new transitivity reasoners for transitivity only
  7487 and quasi orders.
  7488 
  7489 * Provers/trancl.ML: new transitivity reasoner for transitive and
  7490 reflexive-transitive closure of relations.
  7491 
  7492 * Provers/blast.ML: new reference depth_limit to make blast's depth
  7493 limit (previously hard-coded with a value of 20) user-definable.
  7494 
  7495 * Provers/simplifier.ML has been moved to Pure, where Simplifier.setup
  7496 is peformed already.  Object-logics merely need to finish their
  7497 initial simpset configuration as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7498 
  7499 
  7500 *** HOL ***
  7501 
  7502 * Symbolic syntax of Hilbert Choice Operator is now as follows:
  7503 
  7504   syntax (epsilon)
  7505     "_Eps" :: "[pttrn, bool] => 'a"    ("(3\<some>_./ _)" [0, 10] 10)
  7506 
  7507 The symbol \<some> is displayed as the alternative epsilon of LaTeX
  7508 and x-symbol; use option '-m epsilon' to get it actually printed.
  7509 Moreover, the mathematically important symbolic identifier \<epsilon>
  7510 becomes available as variable, constant etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  7511 
  7512 * "x > y" abbreviates "y < x" and "x >= y" abbreviates "y <= x".
  7513 Similarly for all quantifiers: "ALL x > y" etc.  The x-symbol for >=
  7514 is \<ge>. New transitivity rules have been added to HOL/Orderings.thy to
  7515 support corresponding Isar calculations.
  7516 
  7517 * "{x:A. P}" abbreviates "{x. x:A & P}", and similarly for "\<in>"
  7518 instead of ":".
  7519 
  7520 * theory SetInterval: changed the syntax for open intervals:
  7521 
  7522   Old       New
  7523   {..n(}    {..<n}
  7524   {)n..}    {n<..}
  7525   {m..n(}   {m..<n}
  7526   {)m..n}   {m<..n}
  7527   {)m..n(}  {m<..<n}
  7528 
  7529 The old syntax is still supported but will disappear in the next
  7530 release.  For conversion use the following Emacs search and replace
  7531 patterns (these are not perfect but work quite well):
  7532 
  7533   {)\([^\.]*\)\.\.  ->  {\1<\.\.}
  7534   \.\.\([^(}]*\)(}  ->  \.\.<\1}
  7535 
  7536 * Theory Commutative_Ring (in Library): method comm_ring for proving
  7537 equalities in commutative rings; method 'algebra' provides a generic
  7538 interface.
  7539 
  7540 * Theory Finite_Set: changed the syntax for 'setsum', summation over
  7541 finite sets: "setsum (%x. e) A", which used to be "\<Sum>x:A. e", is
  7542 now either "SUM x:A. e" or "\<Sum>x \<in> A. e". The bound variable can
  7543 be a tuple pattern.
  7544 
  7545 Some new syntax forms are available:
  7546 
  7547   "\<Sum>x | P. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {x. P}"
  7548   "\<Sum>x = a..b. e"   for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..b}"
  7549   "\<Sum>x = a..<b. e"  for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..<b}"
  7550   "\<Sum>x < k. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {..<k}"
  7551 
  7552 The latter form "\<Sum>x < k. e" used to be based on a separate
  7553 function "Summation", which has been discontinued.
  7554 
  7555 * theory Finite_Set: in structured induction proofs, the insert case
  7556 is now 'case (insert x F)' instead of the old counterintuitive 'case
  7557 (insert F x)'.
  7558 
  7559 * The 'refute' command has been extended to support a much larger
  7560 fragment of HOL, including axiomatic type classes, constdefs and
  7561 typedefs, inductive datatypes and recursion.
  7562 
  7563 * New tactics 'sat' and 'satx' to prove propositional tautologies.
  7564 Requires zChaff with proof generation to be installed.  See
  7565 HOL/ex/SAT_Examples.thy for examples.
  7566 
  7567 * Datatype induction via method 'induct' now preserves the name of the
  7568 induction variable. For example, when proving P(xs::'a list) by
  7569 induction on xs, the induction step is now P(xs) ==> P(a#xs) rather
  7570 than P(list) ==> P(a#list) as previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  7571 in unstructured proof scripts.
  7572 
  7573 * Reworked implementation of records.  Improved scalability for
  7574 records with many fields, avoiding performance problems for type
  7575 inference. Records are no longer composed of nested field types, but
  7576 of nested extension types. Therefore the record type only grows linear
  7577 in the number of extensions and not in the number of fields.  The
  7578 top-level (users) view on records is preserved.  Potential
  7579 INCOMPATIBILITY only in strange cases, where the theory depends on the
  7580 old record representation. The type generated for a record is called
  7581 <record_name>_ext_type.
  7582 
  7583 Flag record_quick_and_dirty_sensitive can be enabled to skip the
  7584 proofs triggered by a record definition or a simproc (if
  7585 quick_and_dirty is enabled).  Definitions of large records can take
  7586 quite long.
  7587 
  7588 New simproc record_upd_simproc for simplification of multiple record
  7589 updates enabled by default.  Moreover, trivial updates are also
  7590 removed: r(|x := x r|) = r.  INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break
  7591 occasionally, since simplification is more powerful by default.
  7592 
  7593 * typedef: proper support for polymorphic sets, which contain extra
  7594 type-variables in the term.
  7595 
  7596 * Simplifier: automatically reasons about transitivity chains
  7597 involving "trancl" (r^+) and "rtrancl" (r^*) by setting up tactics
  7598 provided by Provers/trancl.ML as additional solvers.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  7599 old proofs break occasionally as simplification may now solve more
  7600 goals than previously.
  7601 
  7602 * Simplifier: converts x <= y into x = y if assumption y <= x is
  7603 present.  Works for all partial orders (class "order"), in particular
  7604 numbers and sets.  For linear orders (e.g. numbers) it treats ~ x < y
  7605 just like y <= x.
  7606 
  7607 * Simplifier: new simproc for "let x = a in f x".  If a is a free or
  7608 bound variable or a constant then the let is unfolded.  Otherwise
  7609 first a is simplified to b, and then f b is simplified to g. If
  7610 possible we abstract b from g arriving at "let x = b in h x",
  7611 otherwise we unfold the let and arrive at g.  The simproc can be
  7612 enabled/disabled by the reference use_let_simproc.  Potential
  7613 INCOMPATIBILITY since simplification is more powerful by default.
  7614 
  7615 * Classical reasoning: the meson method now accepts theorems as arguments.
  7616 
  7617 * Prover support: pre-release of the Isabelle-ATP linkup, which runs background
  7618 jobs to provide advice on the provability of subgoals.
  7619 
  7620 * Theory OrderedGroup and Ring_and_Field: various additions and
  7621 improvements to faciliate calculations involving equalities and
  7622 inequalities.
  7623 
  7624 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7625 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7626 
  7627   abs_eq             now named abs_of_nonneg
  7628   abs_of_ge_0        now named abs_of_nonneg
  7629   abs_minus_eq       now named abs_of_nonpos

  7635   mult_pos_neg2_le   now named mult_nonneg_nonpos2
  7636   mult_neg           now named mult_neg_neg
  7637   mult_neg_le        now named mult_nonpos_nonpos
  7638 
  7639 * The following lemmas in Ring_and_Field have been added to the simplifier:
  7640      
  7641      zero_le_square
  7642      not_square_less_zero 
  7643 
  7644   The following lemmas have been deleted from Real/RealPow:
  7645   
  7646      realpow_zero_zero
  7647      realpow_two
  7648      realpow_less
  7649      zero_le_power
  7650      realpow_two_le
  7651      abs_realpow_two
  7652      realpow_two_abs     
  7653 
  7654 * Theory Parity: added rules for simplifying exponents.
  7655 
  7656 * Theory List:
  7657 
  7658 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7659 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7660 
  7661   list_all_Nil       now named list_all.simps(1)
  7662   list_all_Cons      now named list_all.simps(2)
  7663   list_all_conv      now named list_all_iff
  7664   set_mem_eq         now named mem_iff
  7665 
  7666 * Theories SetsAndFunctions and BigO (see HOL/Library) support
  7667 asymptotic "big O" calculations.  See the notes in BigO.thy.
  7668 
  7669 
  7670 *** HOL-Complex ***
  7671 
  7672 * Theory RealDef: better support for embedding natural numbers and
  7673 integers in the reals.
  7674 
  7675 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7676 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7677 
  7678   exp_ge_add_one_self  now requires no hypotheses
  7679   real_of_int_add      reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7680   real_of_int_minus    reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7681   real_of_int_diff     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7682   real_of_int_mult     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7683 
  7684 * Theory RComplete: expanded support for floor and ceiling functions.
  7685 
  7686 * Theory Ln is new, with properties of the natural logarithm
  7687 
  7688 * Hyperreal: There is a new type constructor "star" for making
  7689 nonstandard types.  The old type names are now type synonyms:
  7690 
  7691   hypreal = real star
  7692   hypnat = nat star
  7693   hcomplex = complex star
  7694 
  7695 * Hyperreal: Many groups of similarly-defined constants have been
  7696 replaced by polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  7711 
  7712 * Hyperreal: Many type-specific theorems have been removed in favor of
  7713 theorems specific to various axiomatic type classes (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  7739 
  7740 * Hyperreal: Separate theorems having to do with type-specific
  7741 versions of constants have been merged into theorems that apply to the
  7742 new polymorphic constants (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  7832 
  7833 * Hyperreal: new method "transfer" that implements the transfer
  7834 principle of nonstandard analysis. With a subgoal that mentions
  7835 nonstandard types like "'a star", the command "apply transfer"
  7836 replaces it with an equivalent one that mentions only standard types.
  7837 To be successful, all free variables must have standard types; non-
  7838 standard variables must have explicit universal quantifiers.
  7839 
  7840 * Hyperreal: A theory of Taylor series.
  7841 
  7842 
  7843 *** HOLCF ***
  7844 
  7845 * Discontinued special version of 'constdefs' (which used to support
  7846 continuous functions) in favor of the general Pure one with full
  7847 type-inference.
  7848 
  7849 * New simplification procedure for solving continuity conditions; it
  7850 is much faster on terms with many nested lambda abstractions (cubic
  7851 instead of exponential time).
  7852 
  7853 * New syntax for domain package: selector names are now optional.
  7854 Parentheses should be omitted unless argument is lazy, for example:
  7855 
  7856   domain 'a stream = cons "'a" (lazy "'a stream")
  7857 
  7858 * New command 'fixrec' for defining recursive functions with pattern
  7859 matching; defining multiple functions with mutual recursion is also
  7860 supported.  Patterns may include the constants cpair, spair, up, sinl,
  7861 sinr, or any data constructor defined by the domain package. The given
  7862 equations are proven as rewrite rules. See HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  7863 syntax and examples.
  7864 
  7865 * New commands 'cpodef' and 'pcpodef' for defining predicate subtypes
  7866 of cpo and pcpo types. Syntax is exactly like the 'typedef' command,
  7867 but the proof obligation additionally includes an admissibility
  7868 requirement. The packages generate instances of class cpo or pcpo,
  7869 with continuity and strictness theorems for Rep and Abs.
  7870 
  7871 * HOLCF: Many theorems have been renamed according to a more standard naming
  7872 scheme (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7873 
  7874   foo_inject:  "foo$x = foo$y ==> x = y"
  7875   foo_eq:      "(foo$x = foo$y) = (x = y)"
  7876   foo_less:    "(foo$x << foo$y) = (x << y)"
  7877   foo_strict:  "foo$UU = UU"
  7878   foo_defined: "... ==> foo$x ~= UU"
  7879   foo_defined_iff: "(foo$x = UU) = (x = UU)"
  7880 
  7881 
  7882 *** ZF ***
  7883 
  7884 * ZF/ex: theories Group and Ring provide examples in abstract algebra,
  7885 including the First Isomorphism Theorem (on quotienting by the kernel
  7886 of a homomorphism).
  7887 
  7888 * ZF/Simplifier: install second copy of type solver that actually
  7889 makes use of TC rules declared to Isar proof contexts (or locales);
  7890 the old version is still required for ML proof scripts.
  7891 
  7892 
  7893 *** Cube ***
  7894 
  7895 * Converted to Isar theory format; use locales instead of axiomatic
  7896 theories.
  7897 
  7898 
  7899 *** ML ***
  7900 
  7901 * Pure/library.ML: added ##>, ##>>, #>> -- higher-order counterparts
  7902 for ||>, ||>>, |>>,
  7903 
  7904 * Pure/library.ML no longer defines its own option datatype, but uses
  7905 that of the SML basis, which has constructors NONE and SOME instead of
  7906 None and Some, as well as exception Option.Option instead of OPTION.
  7907 The functions the, if_none, is_some, is_none have been adapted
  7908 accordingly, while Option.map replaces apsome.
  7909 
  7910 * Pure/library.ML: the exception LIST has been given up in favour of
  7911 the standard exceptions Empty and Subscript, as well as
  7912 Library.UnequalLengths.  Function like Library.hd and Library.tl are
  7913 superceded by the standard hd and tl functions etc.
  7914 
  7915 A number of basic list functions are no longer exported to the ML
  7916 toplevel, as they are variants of predefined functions.  The following
  7917 suggests how one can translate existing code:
  7918 
  7919     rev_append xs ys = List.revAppend (xs, ys)
  7920     nth_elem (i, xs) = List.nth (xs, i)
  7921     last_elem xs = List.last xs
  7922     flat xss = List.concat xss
  7923     seq fs = List.app fs
  7924     partition P xs = List.partition P xs
  7925     mapfilter f xs = List.mapPartial f xs
  7926 
  7927 * Pure/library.ML: several combinators for linear functional
  7928 transformations, notably reverse application and composition:
  7929 
  7930   x |> f                f #> g
  7931   (x, y) |-> f          f #-> g
  7932 
  7933 * Pure/library.ML: introduced/changed precedence of infix operators:
  7934 
  7935   infix 1 |> |-> ||> ||>> |>> |>>> #> #->;
  7936   infix 2 ?;
  7937   infix 3 o oo ooo oooo;
  7938   infix 4 ~~ upto downto;
  7939 
  7940 Maybe INCOMPATIBILITY when any of those is used in conjunction with other
  7941 infix operators.
  7942 
  7943 * Pure/library.ML: natural list combinators fold, fold_rev, and
  7944 fold_map support linear functional transformations and nesting.  For
  7945 example:
  7946 
  7947   fold f [x1, ..., xN] y =
  7948     y |> f x1 |> ... |> f xN
  7949 
  7950   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] y =
  7951     y |> fold f xs1 |> ... |> fold f xsN
  7952 
  7953   fold f [x1, ..., xN] =
  7954     f x1 #> ... #> f xN
  7955 
  7956   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] =
  7957     fold f xs1 #> ... #> fold f xsN
  7958 
  7959 * Pure/library.ML: the following selectors on type 'a option are
  7960 available:
  7961 
  7962   the:               'a option -> 'a  (*partial*)
  7963   these:             'a option -> 'a  where 'a = 'b list
  7964   the_default: 'a -> 'a option -> 'a
  7965   the_list:          'a option -> 'a list
  7966 
  7967 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  7968 basic operations for association lists, following natural argument
  7969 order; moreover the explicit equality predicate passed here avoids
  7970 potentially expensive polymorphic runtime equality checks.
  7971 The old functions may be expressed as follows:
  7972 
  7973   assoc = uncurry (AList.lookup (op =))
  7974   assocs = these oo AList.lookup (op =)
  7975   overwrite = uncurry (AList.update (op =)) o swap
  7976 
  7977 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  7978 
  7979   val make: ('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> ('a * 'b) list
  7980   val find: ('a * 'b -> bool) -> ('c * 'b) list -> 'a -> 'c list
  7981 
  7982 replacing make_keylist and keyfilter (occassionally used)
  7983 Naive rewrites:
  7984 
  7985   make_keylist = AList.make
  7986   keyfilter = AList.find (op =)
  7987 
  7988 * eq_fst and eq_snd now take explicit equality parameter, thus
  7989   avoiding eqtypes. Naive rewrites:
  7990 
  7991     eq_fst = eq_fst (op =)
  7992     eq_snd = eq_snd (op =)
  7993 
  7994 * Removed deprecated apl and apr (rarely used).
  7995   Naive rewrites:
  7996 
  7997     apl (n, op) =>>= curry op n
  7998     apr (op, m) =>>= fn n => op (n, m)
  7999 
  8000 * Pure/General: structure OrdList (cf. Pure/General/ord_list.ML)
  8001 provides a reasonably efficient light-weight implementation of sets as
  8002 lists.
  8003 
  8004 * Pure/General: generic tables (cf. Pure/General/table.ML) provide a
  8005 few new operations; existing lookup and update are now curried to
  8006 follow natural argument order (for use with fold etc.);
  8007 INCOMPATIBILITY, use (uncurry Symtab.lookup) etc. as last resort.
  8008 
  8009 * Pure/General: output via the Isabelle channels of
  8010 writeln/warning/error etc. is now passed through Output.output, with a
  8011 hook for arbitrary transformations depending on the print_mode
  8012 (cf. Output.add_mode -- the first active mode that provides a output
  8013 function wins).  Already formatted output may be embedded into further
  8014 text via Output.raw; the result of Pretty.string_of/str_of and derived
  8015 functions (string_of_term/cterm/thm etc.) is already marked raw to
  8016 accommodate easy composition of diagnostic messages etc.  Programmers
  8017 rarely need to care about Output.output or Output.raw at all, with
  8018 some notable exceptions: Output.output is required when bypassing the
  8019 standard channels (writeln etc.), or in token translations to produce
  8020 properly formatted results; Output.raw is required when capturing
  8021 already output material that will eventually be presented to the user
  8022 a second time.  For the default print mode, both Output.output and
  8023 Output.raw have no effect.
  8024 
  8025 * Pure/General: Output.time_accumulator NAME creates an operator ('a
  8026 -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'b to measure runtime and count invocations; the
  8027 cumulative results are displayed at the end of a batch session.
  8028 
  8029 * Pure/General: File.sysify_path and File.quote_sysify path have been
  8030 replaced by File.platform_path and File.shell_path (with appropriate
  8031 hooks).  This provides a clean interface for unusual systems where the
  8032 internal and external process view of file names are different.
  8033 
  8034 * Pure: more efficient orders for basic syntactic entities: added
  8035 fast_string_ord, fast_indexname_ord, fast_term_ord; changed sort_ord
  8036 and typ_ord to use fast_string_ord and fast_indexname_ord (term_ord is
  8037 NOT affected); structures Symtab, Vartab, Typtab, Termtab use the fast
  8038 orders now -- potential INCOMPATIBILITY for code that depends on a
  8039 particular order for Symtab.keys, Symtab.dest, etc. (consider using
  8040 Library.sort_strings on result).
  8041 
  8042 * Pure/term.ML: combinators fold_atyps, fold_aterms, fold_term_types,
  8043 fold_types traverse types/terms from left to right, observing natural
  8044 argument order.  Supercedes previous foldl_XXX versions, add_frees,
  8045 add_vars etc. have been adapted as well: INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8046 
  8047 * Pure: name spaces have been refined, with significant changes of the
  8048 internal interfaces -- INCOMPATIBILITY.  Renamed cond_extern(_table)
  8049 to extern(_table).  The plain name entry path is superceded by a
  8050 general 'naming' context, which also includes the 'policy' to produce
  8051 a fully qualified name and external accesses of a fully qualified
  8052 name; NameSpace.extend is superceded by context dependent
  8053 Sign.declare_name.  Several theory and proof context operations modify
  8054 the naming context.  Especially note Theory.restore_naming and
  8055 ProofContext.restore_naming to get back to a sane state; note that
  8056 Theory.add_path is no longer sufficient to recover from
  8057 Theory.absolute_path in particular.
  8058 
  8059 * Pure: new flags short_names (default false) and unique_names
  8060 (default true) for controlling output of qualified names.  If
  8061 short_names is set, names are printed unqualified.  If unique_names is
  8062 reset, the name prefix is reduced to the minimum required to achieve
  8063 the original result when interning again, even if there is an overlap
  8064 with earlier declarations.
  8065 
  8066 * Pure/TheoryDataFun: change of the argument structure; 'prep_ext' is
  8067 now 'extend', and 'merge' gets an additional Pretty.pp argument
  8068 (useful for printing error messages).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8069 
  8070 * Pure: major reorganization of the theory context.  Type Sign.sg and
  8071 Theory.theory are now identified, referring to the universal
  8072 Context.theory (see Pure/context.ML).  Actual signature and theory
  8073 content is managed as theory data.  The old code and interfaces were
  8074 spread over many files and structures; the new arrangement introduces
  8075 considerable INCOMPATIBILITY to gain more clarity:
  8076 
  8077   Context -- theory management operations (name, identity, inclusion,
  8078     parents, ancestors, merge, etc.), plus generic theory data;
  8079 
  8080   Sign -- logical signature and syntax operations (declaring consts,
  8081     types, etc.), plus certify/read for common entities;
  8082 
  8083   Theory -- logical theory operations (stating axioms, definitions,
  8084     oracles), plus a copy of logical signature operations (consts,
  8085     types, etc.); also a few basic management operations (Theory.copy,
  8086     Theory.merge, etc.)
  8087 
  8088 The most basic sign_of operations (Theory.sign_of, Thm.sign_of_thm
  8089 etc.) as well as the sign field in Thm.rep_thm etc. have been retained
  8090 for convenience -- they merely return the theory.
  8091 
  8092 * Pure: type Type.tsig is superceded by theory in most interfaces.
  8093 
  8094 * Pure: the Isar proof context type is already defined early in Pure
  8095 as Context.proof (note that ProofContext.context and Proof.context are
  8096 aliases, where the latter is the preferred name).  This enables other
  8097 Isabelle components to refer to that type even before Isar is present.
  8098 
  8099 * Pure/sign/theory: discontinued named name spaces (i.e. classK,
  8100 typeK, constK, axiomK, oracleK), but provide explicit operations for
  8101 any of these kinds.  For example, Sign.intern typeK is now
  8102 Sign.intern_type, Theory.hide_space Sign.typeK is now
  8103 Theory.hide_types.  Also note that former
  8104 Theory.hide_classes/types/consts are now
  8105 Theory.hide_classes_i/types_i/consts_i, while the non '_i' versions
  8106 internalize their arguments!  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8107 
  8108 * Pure: get_thm interface (of PureThy and ProofContext) expects
  8109 datatype thmref (with constructors Name and NameSelection) instead of
  8110 plain string -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8111 
  8112 * Pure: cases produced by proof methods specify options, where NONE
  8113 means to remove case bindings -- INCOMPATIBILITY in
  8114 (RAW_)METHOD_CASES.
  8115 
  8116 * Pure: the following operations retrieve axioms or theorems from a
  8117 theory node or theory hierarchy, respectively:
  8118 
  8119   Theory.axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  8120   Theory.all_axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  8121   PureThy.thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  8122   PureThy.all_thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  8123 
  8124 * Pure: print_tac now outputs the goal through the trace channel.
  8125 
  8126 * Isar toplevel: improved diagnostics, mostly for Poly/ML only.
  8127 Reference Toplevel.debug (default false) controls detailed printing
  8128 and tracing of low-level exceptions; Toplevel.profiling (default 0)
  8129 controls execution profiling -- set to 1 for time and 2 for space
  8130 (both increase the runtime).
  8131 
  8132 * Isar session: The initial use of ROOT.ML is now always timed,
  8133 i.e. the log will show the actual process times, in contrast to the
  8134 elapsed wall-clock time that the outer shell wrapper produces.
  8135 
  8136 * Simplifier: improved handling of bound variables (nameless
  8137 representation, avoid allocating new strings).  Simprocs that invoke
  8138 the Simplifier recursively should use Simplifier.inherit_bounds to
  8139 avoid local name clashes.  Failure to do so produces warnings
  8140 "Simplifier: renamed bound variable ..."; set Simplifier.debug_bounds
  8141 for further details.
  8142 
  8143 * ML functions legacy_bindings and use_legacy_bindings produce ML fact
  8144 bindings for all theorems stored within a given theory; this may help
  8145 in porting non-Isar theories to Isar ones, while keeping ML proof
  8146 scripts for the time being.
  8147 
  8148 * ML operator HTML.with_charset specifies the charset begin used for
  8149 generated HTML files.  For example:
  8150 
  8151   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Hebrew";
  8152   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Chinese";
  8153 
  8154 
  8155 *** System ***
  8156 
  8157 * Allow symlinks to all proper Isabelle executables (Isabelle,
  8158 isabelle, isatool etc.).
  8159 
  8160 * ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT setting specifies preferred document format (for
  8161 isatool doc, isatool mkdir, display_drafts etc.).
  8162 
  8163 * isatool usedir: option -f allows specification of the ML file to be
  8164 used by Isabelle; default is ROOT.ML.
  8165 
  8166 * New isatool version outputs the version identifier of the Isabelle
  8167 distribution being used.
  8168 
  8169 * HOL: new isatool dimacs2hol converts files in DIMACS CNF format
  8170 (containing Boolean satisfiability problems) into Isabelle/HOL
  8171 theories.
  8172 
  8173 
  8174 
  8175 New in Isabelle2004 (April 2004)
  8176 --------------------------------
  8177 
  8178 *** General ***
  8179 
  8180 * Provers/order.ML:  new efficient reasoner for partial and linear orders.
  8181   Replaces linorder.ML.
  8182 
  8183 * Pure: Greek letters (except small lambda, \<lambda>), as well as Gothic
  8184   (\<aa>...\<zz>\<AA>...\<ZZ>), calligraphic (\<A>...\<Z>), and Euler
  8185   (\<a>...\<z>), are now considered normal letters, and can therefore
  8186   be used anywhere where an ASCII letter (a...zA...Z) has until
  8187   now. COMPATIBILITY: This obviously changes the parsing of some
  8188   terms, especially where a symbol has been used as a binder, say
  8189   '\<Pi>x. ...', which is now a type error since \<Pi>x will be parsed
  8190   as an identifier.  Fix it by inserting a space around former
  8191   symbols.  Call 'isatool fixgreek' to try to fix parsing errors in
  8192   existing theory and ML files.
  8193 
  8194 * Pure: Macintosh and Windows line-breaks are now allowed in theory files.
  8195 
  8196 * Pure: single letter sub/superscripts (\<^isub> and \<^isup>) are now
  8197   allowed in identifiers. Similar to Greek letters \<^isub> is now considered
  8198   a normal (but invisible) letter. For multiple letter subscripts repeat
  8199   \<^isub> like this: x\<^isub>1\<^isub>2.
  8200 
  8201 * Pure: There are now sub-/superscripts that can span more than one
  8202   character. Text between \<^bsub> and \<^esub> is set in subscript in
  8203   ProofGeneral and LaTeX, text between \<^bsup> and \<^esup> in
  8204   superscript. The new control characters are not identifier parts.
  8205 
  8206 * Pure: Control-symbols of the form \<^raw:...> will literally print the
  8207   content of "..." to the latex file instead of \isacntrl... . The "..."
  8208   may consist of any printable characters excluding the end bracket >.
  8209 
  8210 * Pure: Using new Isar command "finalconsts" (or the ML functions
  8211   Theory.add_finals or Theory.add_finals_i) it is now possible to
  8212   declare constants "final", which prevents their being given a definition
  8213   later.  It is useful for constants whose behaviour is fixed axiomatically
  8214   rather than definitionally, such as the meta-logic connectives.
  8215 
  8216 * Pure: 'instance' now handles general arities with general sorts
  8217   (i.e. intersections of classes),
  8218 
  8219 * Presentation: generated HTML now uses a CSS style sheet to make layout
  8220   (somewhat) independent of content. It is copied from lib/html/isabelle.css.
  8221   It can be changed to alter the colors/layout of generated pages.
  8222 
  8223 
  8224 *** Isar ***
  8225 
  8226 * Tactic emulation methods rule_tac, erule_tac, drule_tac, frule_tac,
  8227   cut_tac, subgoal_tac and thin_tac:
  8228   - Now understand static (Isar) contexts.  As a consequence, users of Isar
  8229     locales are no longer forced to write Isar proof scripts.
  8230     For details see Isar Reference Manual, paragraph 4.3.2: Further tactic
  8231     emulations.
  8232   - INCOMPATIBILITY: names of variables to be instantiated may no
  8233     longer be enclosed in quotes.  Instead, precede variable name with `?'.
  8234     This is consistent with the instantiation attribute "where".
  8235 
  8236 * Attributes "where" and "of":
  8237   - Now take type variables of instantiated theorem into account when reading
  8238     the instantiation string.  This fixes a bug that caused instantiated
  8239     theorems to have too special types in some circumstances.
  8240   - "where" permits explicit instantiations of type variables.
  8241 
  8242 * Calculation commands "moreover" and "also" no longer interfere with
  8243   current facts ("this"), admitting arbitrary combinations with "then"
  8244   and derived forms.
  8245 
  8246 * Locales:
  8247   - Goal statements involving the context element "includes" no longer
  8248     generate theorems with internal delta predicates (those ending on
  8249     "_axioms") in the premise.
  8250     Resolve particular premise with <locale>.intro to obtain old form.
  8251   - Fixed bug in type inference ("unify_frozen") that prevented mix of target
  8252     specification and "includes" elements in goal statement.
  8253   - Rule sets <locale>.intro and <locale>.axioms no longer declared as
  8254     [intro?] and [elim?] (respectively) by default.
  8255   - Experimental command for instantiation of locales in proof contexts:
  8256         instantiate <label>[<attrs>]: <loc>
  8257     Instantiates locale <loc> and adds all its theorems to the current context
  8258     taking into account their attributes.  Label and attrs are optional
  8259     modifiers, like in theorem declarations.  If present, names of
  8260     instantiated theorems are qualified with <label>, and the attributes
  8261     <attrs> are applied after any attributes these theorems might have already.
  8262       If the locale has assumptions, a chained fact of the form
  8263     "<loc> t1 ... tn" is expected from which instantiations of the parameters
  8264     are derived.  The command does not support old-style locales declared
  8265     with "locale (open)".
  8266       A few (very simple) examples can be found in FOL/ex/LocaleInst.thy.
  8267 
  8268 * HOL: Tactic emulation methods induct_tac and case_tac understand static
  8269   (Isar) contexts.
  8270 
  8271 
  8272 *** HOL ***
  8273 
  8274 * Proof import: new image HOL4 contains the imported library from
  8275   the HOL4 system with about 2500 theorems. It is imported by
  8276   replaying proof terms produced by HOL4 in Isabelle. The HOL4 image
  8277   can be used like any other Isabelle image.  See
  8278   HOL/Import/HOL/README for more information.
  8279 
  8280 * Simplifier:
  8281   - Much improved handling of linear and partial orders.
  8282     Reasoners for linear and partial orders are set up for type classes
  8283     "linorder" and "order" respectively, and are added to the default simpset
  8284     as solvers.  This means that the simplifier can build transitivity chains
  8285     to solve goals from the assumptions.
  8286   - INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break occasionally.  Typically, applications
  8287     of blast or auto after simplification become unnecessary because the goal
  8288     is solved by simplification already.
  8289 
  8290 * Numerics: new theory Ring_and_Field contains over 250 basic numerical laws,
  8291     all proved in axiomatic type classes for semirings, rings and fields.
  8292 
  8293 * Numerics:
  8294   - Numeric types (nat, int, and in HOL-Complex rat, real, complex, etc.) are
  8295     now formalized using the Ring_and_Field theory mentioned above.
  8296   - INCOMPATIBILITY: simplification and arithmetic behaves somewhat differently
  8297     than before, because now they are set up once in a generic manner.
  8298   - INCOMPATIBILITY: many type-specific arithmetic laws have gone.
  8299     Look for the general versions in Ring_and_Field (and Power if they concern
  8300     exponentiation).
  8301 
  8302 * Type "rat" of the rational numbers is now available in HOL-Complex.
  8303 
  8304 * Records:
  8305   - Record types are now by default printed with their type abbreviation
  8306     instead of the list of all field types. This can be configured via
  8307     the reference "print_record_type_abbr".
  8308   - Simproc "record_upd_simproc" for simplification of multiple updates added
  8309     (not enabled by default).
  8310   - Simproc "record_ex_sel_eq_simproc" to simplify EX x. sel r = x resp.
  8311     EX x. x = sel r to True (not enabled by default).
  8312   - Tactic "record_split_simp_tac" to split and simplify records added.
  8313 
  8314 * 'specification' command added, allowing for definition by
  8315   specification.  There is also an 'ax_specification' command that
  8316   introduces the new constants axiomatically.
  8317 
  8318 * arith(_tac) is now able to generate counterexamples for reals as well.
  8319 
  8320 * HOL-Algebra: new locale "ring" for non-commutative rings.
  8321 
  8322 * HOL-ex: InductiveInvariant_examples illustrates advanced recursive function
  8323   definitions, thanks to Sava Krsti\'{c} and John Matthews.
  8324 
  8325 * HOL-Matrix: a first theory for matrices in HOL with an application of
  8326   matrix theory to linear programming.
  8327 
  8328 * Unions and Intersections:
  8329   The latex output syntax of UN and INT has been changed
  8330   from "\Union x \in A. B" to "\Union_{x \in A} B"
  8331   i.e. the index formulae has become a subscript.
  8332   Similarly for "\Union x. B", and for \Inter instead of \Union.
  8333 
  8334 * Unions and Intersections over Intervals:
  8335   There is new short syntax "UN i<=n. A" for "UN i:{0..n}. A". There is
  8336   also an x-symbol version with subscripts "\<Union>\<^bsub>i <= n\<^esub>. A"
  8337   like in normal math, and corresponding versions for < and for intersection.
  8338 
  8339 * HOL/List: Ordering "lexico" is renamed "lenlex" and the standard
  8340   lexicographic dictonary ordering has been added as "lexord".
  8341 
  8342 * ML: the legacy theory structures Int and List have been removed. They had
  8343   conflicted with ML Basis Library structures having the same names.
  8344 
  8345 * 'refute' command added to search for (finite) countermodels.  Only works
  8346   for a fragment of HOL.  The installation of an external SAT solver is
  8347   highly recommended.  See "HOL/Refute.thy" for details.
  8348 
  8349 * 'quickcheck' command: Allows to find counterexamples by evaluating
  8350   formulae under an assignment of free variables to random values.
  8351   In contrast to 'refute', it can deal with inductive datatypes,
  8352   but cannot handle quantifiers. See "HOL/ex/Quickcheck_Examples.thy"
  8353   for examples.
  8354 
  8355 
  8356 *** HOLCF ***
  8357 
  8358 * Streams now come with concatenation and are part of the HOLCF image
  8359 
  8360 
  8361 
  8362 New in Isabelle2003 (May 2003)
  8363 ------------------------------
  8364 
  8365 *** General ***
  8366 
  8367 * Provers/simplifier:
  8368 
  8369   - Completely reimplemented method simp (ML: Asm_full_simp_tac):
  8370     Assumptions are now subject to complete mutual simplification,
  8371     not just from left to right. The simplifier now preserves
  8372     the order of assumptions.
  8373 
  8374     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  8375 
  8376     -- simp sometimes diverges where the old version did
  8377        not, e.g. invoking simp on the goal
  8378 
  8379         [| P (f x); y = x; f x = f y |] ==> Q
  8380 
  8381        now gives rise to the infinite reduction sequence
  8382 
  8383         P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> P(f y) --(y = x)--> P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> ...
  8384 
  8385        Using "simp (asm_lr)" (ML: Asm_lr_simp_tac) instead often solves this
  8386        kind of problem.
  8387 
  8388     -- Tactics combining classical reasoner and simplification (such as auto)
  8389        are also affected by this change, because many of them rely on
  8390        simp. They may sometimes diverge as well or yield a different numbers
  8391        of subgoals. Try to use e.g. force, fastsimp, or safe instead of auto
  8392        in case of problems. Sometimes subsequent calls to the classical
  8393        reasoner will fail because a preceeding call to the simplifier too
  8394        eagerly simplified the goal, e.g. deleted redundant premises.
  8395 
  8396   - The simplifier trace now shows the names of the applied rewrite rules
  8397 
  8398   - You can limit the number of recursive invocations of the simplifier
  8399     during conditional rewriting (where the simplifie tries to solve the
  8400     conditions before applying the rewrite rule):
  8401     ML "simp_depth_limit := n"
  8402     where n is an integer. Thus you can force termination where previously
  8403     the simplifier would diverge.
  8404 
  8405   - Accepts free variables as head terms in congruence rules.  Useful in Isar.
  8406 
  8407   - No longer aborts on failed congruence proof.  Instead, the
  8408     congruence is ignored.
  8409 
  8410 * Pure: New generic framework for extracting programs from constructive
  8411   proofs. See HOL/Extraction.thy for an example instantiation, as well
  8412   as HOL/Extraction for some case studies.
  8413 
  8414 * Pure: The main goal of the proof state is no longer shown by default, only
  8415 the subgoals. This behaviour is controlled by a new flag.
  8416    PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Settings -> Show Main Goal
  8417 (ML: Proof.show_main_goal).
  8418 
  8419 * Pure: You can find all matching introduction rules for subgoal 1, i.e. all
  8420 rules whose conclusion matches subgoal 1:
  8421       PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Show me -> matching rules
  8422 The rules are ordered by how closely they match the subgoal.
  8423 In particular, rules that solve a subgoal outright are displayed first
  8424 (or rather last, the way they are printed).
  8425 (ML: ProofGeneral.print_intros())
  8426 
  8427 * Pure: New flag trace_unify_fail causes unification to print
  8428 diagnostic information (PG: in trace buffer) when it fails. This is
  8429 useful for figuring out why single step proofs like rule, erule or
  8430 assumption failed.
  8431 
  8432 * Pure: Locale specifications now produce predicate definitions
  8433 according to the body of text (covering assumptions modulo local
  8434 definitions); predicate "loc_axioms" covers newly introduced text,
  8435 while "loc" is cumulative wrt. all included locale expressions; the
  8436 latter view is presented only on export into the global theory
  8437 context; potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use "(open)" option to fall back
  8438 on the old view without predicates;
  8439 
  8440 * Pure: predefined locales "var" and "struct" are useful for sharing
  8441 parameters (as in CASL, for example); just specify something like
  8442 ``var x + var y + struct M'' as import;
  8443 
  8444 * Pure: improved thms_containing: proper indexing of facts instead of
  8445 raw theorems; check validity of results wrt. current name space;
  8446 include local facts of proof configuration (also covers active
  8447 locales), cover fixed variables in index; may use "_" in term
  8448 specification; an optional limit for the number of printed facts may
  8449 be given (the default is 40);
  8450 
  8451 * Pure: disallow duplicate fact bindings within new-style theory files
  8452 (batch-mode only);
  8453 
  8454 * Provers: improved induct method: assumptions introduced by case
  8455 "foo" are split into "foo.hyps" (from the rule) and "foo.prems" (from
  8456 the goal statement); "foo" still refers to all facts collectively;
  8457 
  8458 * Provers: the function blast.overloaded has been removed: all constants
  8459 are regarded as potentially overloaded, which improves robustness in exchange
  8460 for slight decrease in efficiency;
  8461 
  8462 * Provers/linorder: New generic prover for transitivity reasoning over
  8463 linear orders.  Note: this prover is not efficient!
  8464 
  8465 * Isar: preview of problems to finish 'show' now produce an error
  8466 rather than just a warning (in interactive mode);
  8467 
  8468 
  8469 *** HOL ***
  8470 
  8471 * arith(_tac)
  8472 
  8473  - Produces a counter example if it cannot prove a goal.
  8474    Note that the counter example may be spurious if the goal is not a formula
  8475    of quantifier-free linear arithmetic.
  8476    In ProofGeneral the counter example appears in the trace buffer.
  8477 
  8478  - Knows about div k and mod k where k is a numeral of type nat or int.
  8479 
  8480  - Calls full Presburger arithmetic (by Amine Chaieb) if quantifier-free
  8481    linear arithmetic fails. This takes account of quantifiers and divisibility.
  8482    Presburger arithmetic can also be called explicitly via presburger(_tac).
  8483 
  8484 * simp's arithmetic capabilities have been enhanced a bit: it now
  8485 takes ~= in premises into account (by performing a case split);
  8486 
  8487 * simp reduces "m*(n div m) + n mod m" to n, even if the two summands
  8488 are distributed over a sum of terms;
  8489 
  8490 * New tactic "trans_tac" and method "trans" instantiate
  8491 Provers/linorder.ML for axclasses "order" and "linorder" (predicates
  8492 "<=", "<" and "=").
  8493 
  8494 * function INCOMPATIBILITIES: Pi-sets have been redefined and moved from main
  8495 HOL to Library/FuncSet; constant "Fun.op o" is now called "Fun.comp";
  8496 
  8497 * 'typedef' command has new option "open" to suppress the set
  8498 definition;
  8499 
  8500 * functions Min and Max on finite sets have been introduced (theory
  8501 Finite_Set);
  8502 
  8503 * attribute [symmetric] now works for relations as well; it turns
  8504 (x,y) : R^-1 into (y,x) : R, and vice versa;
  8505 
  8506 * induct over a !!-quantified statement (say !!x1..xn):
  8507   each "case" automatically performs "fix x1 .. xn" with exactly those names.
  8508 
  8509 * Map: `empty' is no longer a constant but a syntactic abbreviation for
  8510 %x. None. Warning: empty_def now refers to the previously hidden definition
  8511 of the empty set.
  8512 
  8513 * Algebra: formalization of classical algebra.  Intended as base for
  8514 any algebraic development in Isabelle.  Currently covers group theory
  8515 (up to Sylow's theorem) and ring theory (Universal Property of
  8516 Univariate Polynomials).  Contributions welcome;
  8517 
  8518 * GroupTheory: deleted, since its material has been moved to Algebra;
  8519 
  8520 * Complex: new directory of the complex numbers with numeric constants,
  8521 nonstandard complex numbers, and some complex analysis, standard and
  8522 nonstandard (Jacques Fleuriot);
  8523 
  8524 * HOL-Complex: new image for analysis, replacing HOL-Real and HOL-Hyperreal;
  8525 
  8526 * Hyperreal: introduced Gauge integration and hyperreal logarithms (Jacques
  8527 Fleuriot);
  8528 
  8529 * Real/HahnBanach: updated and adapted to locales;
  8530 
  8531 * NumberTheory: added Gauss's law of quadratic reciprocity (by Avigad,
  8532 Gray and Kramer);
  8533 
  8534 * UNITY: added the Meier-Sanders theory of progress sets;
  8535 
  8536 * MicroJava: bytecode verifier and lightweight bytecode verifier
  8537 as abstract algorithms, instantiated to the JVM;
  8538 
  8539 * Bali: Java source language formalization. Type system, operational
  8540 semantics, axiomatic semantics. Supported language features:
  8541 classes, interfaces, objects,virtual methods, static methods,
  8542 static/instance fields, arrays, access modifiers, definite
  8543 assignment, exceptions.
  8544 
  8545 
  8546 *** ZF ***
  8547 
  8548 * ZF/Constructible: consistency proof for AC (Gdel's constructible
  8549 universe, etc.);
  8550 
  8551 * Main ZF: virtually all theories converted to new-style format;
  8552 
  8553 
  8554 *** ML ***
  8555 
  8556 * Pure: Tactic.prove provides sane interface for internal proofs;
  8557 omits the infamous "standard" operation, so this is more appropriate
  8558 than prove_goalw_cterm in many situations (e.g. in simprocs);
  8559 
  8560 * Pure: improved error reporting of simprocs;
  8561 
  8562 * Provers: Simplifier.simproc(_i) provides sane interface for setting
  8563 up simprocs;
  8564 
  8565 
  8566 *** Document preparation ***
  8567 
  8568 * uses \par instead of \\ for line breaks in theory text. This may
  8569 shift some page breaks in large documents. To get the old behaviour
  8570 use \renewcommand{\isanewline}{\mbox{}\\\mbox{}} in root.tex.
  8571 
  8572 * minimized dependencies of isabelle.sty and isabellesym.sty on
  8573 other packages
  8574 
  8575 * \<euro> now needs package babel/greek instead of marvosym (which
  8576 broke \Rightarrow)
  8577 
  8578 * normal size for \<zero>...\<nine> (uses \mathbf instead of
  8579 textcomp package)
  8580 
  8581 
  8582 
  8583 New in Isabelle2002 (March 2002)
  8584 --------------------------------
  8585 
  8586 *** Document preparation ***
  8587 
  8588 * greatly simplified document preparation setup, including more
  8589 graceful interpretation of isatool usedir -i/-d/-D options, and more
  8590 instructive isatool mkdir; users should basically be able to get
  8591 started with "isatool mkdir HOL Test && isatool make"; alternatively,
  8592 users may run a separate document processing stage manually like this:
  8593 "isatool usedir -D output HOL Test && isatool document Test/output";
  8594 
  8595 * theory dependency graph may now be incorporated into documents;
  8596 isatool usedir -g true will produce session_graph.eps/.pdf for use
  8597 with \includegraphics of LaTeX;
  8598 
  8599 * proper spacing of consecutive markup elements, especially text
  8600 blocks after section headings;
  8601 
  8602 * support bold style (for single symbols only), input syntax is like
  8603 this: "\<^bold>\<alpha>" or "\<^bold>A";
  8604 
  8605 * \<bullet> is now output as bold \cdot by default, which looks much
  8606 better in printed text;
  8607 
  8608 * added default LaTeX bindings for \<tturnstile> and \<TTurnstile>;
  8609 note that these symbols are currently unavailable in Proof General /
  8610 X-Symbol; new symbols \<zero>, \<one>, ..., \<nine>, and \<euro>;
  8611 
  8612 * isatool latex no longer depends on changed TEXINPUTS, instead
  8613 isatool document copies the Isabelle style files to the target
  8614 location;
  8615 
  8616 
  8617 *** Isar ***
  8618 
  8619 * Pure/Provers: improved proof by cases and induction;
  8620   - 'case' command admits impromptu naming of parameters (such as
  8621     "case (Suc n)");
  8622   - 'induct' method divinates rule instantiation from the inductive
  8623     claim; no longer requires excessive ?P bindings for proper
  8624     instantiation of cases;
  8625   - 'induct' method properly enumerates all possibilities of set/type
  8626     rules; as a consequence facts may be also passed through *type*
  8627     rules without further ado;
  8628   - 'induct' method now derives symbolic cases from the *rulified*
  8629     rule (before it used to rulify cases stemming from the internal
  8630     atomized version); this means that the context of a non-atomic
  8631     statement becomes is included in the hypothesis, avoiding the
  8632     slightly cumbersome show "PROP ?case" form;
  8633   - 'induct' may now use elim-style induction rules without chaining
  8634     facts, using ``missing'' premises from the goal state; this allows
  8635     rules stemming from inductive sets to be applied in unstructured
  8636     scripts, while still benefitting from proper handling of non-atomic
  8637     statements; NB: major inductive premises need to be put first, all
  8638     the rest of the goal is passed through the induction;
  8639   - 'induct' proper support for mutual induction involving non-atomic
  8640     rule statements (uses the new concept of simultaneous goals, see
  8641     below);
  8642   - append all possible rule selections, but only use the first
  8643     success (no backtracking);
  8644   - removed obsolete "(simplified)" and "(stripped)" options of methods;
  8645   - undeclared rule case names default to numbers 1, 2, 3, ...;
  8646   - added 'print_induct_rules' (covered by help item in recent Proof
  8647     General versions);
  8648   - moved induct/cases attributes to Pure, methods to Provers;
  8649   - generic method setup instantiated for FOL and HOL;
  8650 
  8651 * Pure: support multiple simultaneous goal statements, for example
  8652 "have a: A and b: B" (same for 'theorem' etc.); being a pure
  8653 meta-level mechanism, this acts as if several individual goals had
  8654 been stated separately; in particular common proof methods need to be
  8655 repeated in order to cover all claims; note that a single elimination
  8656 step is *not* sufficient to establish the two conjunctions, so this
  8657 fails:
  8658 
  8659   assume "A & B" then have A and B ..   (*".." fails*)
  8660 
  8661 better use "obtain" in situations as above; alternative refer to
  8662 multi-step methods like 'auto', 'simp_all', 'blast+' etc.;
  8663 
  8664 * Pure: proper integration with ``locales''; unlike the original
  8665 version by Florian Kammller, Isar locales package high-level proof
  8666 contexts rather than raw logical ones (e.g. we admit to include
  8667 attributes everywhere); operations on locales include merge and
  8668 rename; support for implicit arguments (``structures''); simultaneous
  8669 type-inference over imports and text; see also HOL/ex/Locales.thy for
  8670 some examples;
  8671 
  8672 * Pure: the following commands have been ``localized'', supporting a
  8673 target locale specification "(in name)": 'lemma', 'theorem',
  8674 'corollary', 'lemmas', 'theorems', 'declare'; the results will be
  8675 stored both within the locale and at the theory level (exported and
  8676 qualified by the locale name);
  8677 
  8678 * Pure: theory goals may now be specified in ``long'' form, with
  8679 ad-hoc contexts consisting of arbitrary locale elements. for example
  8680 ``lemma foo: fixes x assumes "A x" shows "B x"'' (local syntax and
  8681 definitions may be given, too); the result is a meta-level rule with
  8682 the context elements being discharged in the obvious way;
  8683 
  8684 * Pure: new proof command 'using' allows to augment currently used
  8685 facts after a goal statement ('using' is syntactically analogous to
  8686 'apply', but acts on the goal's facts only); this allows chained facts
  8687 to be separated into parts given before and after a claim, as in
  8688 ``from a and b have C using d and e <proof>'';
  8689 
  8690 * Pure: renamed "antecedent" case to "rule_context";
  8691 
  8692 * Pure: new 'judgment' command records explicit information about the
  8693 object-logic embedding (used by several tools internally); no longer
  8694 use hard-wired "Trueprop";
  8695 
  8696 * Pure: added 'corollary' command;
  8697 
  8698 * Pure: fixed 'token_translation' command;
  8699 
  8700 * Pure: removed obsolete 'exported' attribute;
  8701 
  8702 * Pure: dummy pattern "_" in is/let is now automatically lifted over
  8703 bound variables: "ALL x. P x --> Q x" (is "ALL x. _ --> ?C x")
  8704 supersedes more cumbersome ... (is "ALL x. _ x --> ?C x");
  8705 
  8706 * Pure: method 'atomize' presents local goal premises as object-level
  8707 statements (atomic meta-level propositions); setup controlled via
  8708 rewrite rules declarations of 'atomize' attribute; example
  8709 application: 'induct' method with proper rule statements in improper
  8710 proof *scripts*;
  8711 
  8712 * Pure: emulation of instantiation tactics (rule_tac, cut_tac, etc.)
  8713 now consider the syntactic context of assumptions, giving a better
  8714 chance to get type-inference of the arguments right (this is
  8715 especially important for locales);
  8716 
  8717 * Pure: "sorry" no longer requires quick_and_dirty in interactive
  8718 mode;
  8719 
  8720 * Pure/obtain: the formal conclusion "thesis", being marked as
  8721 ``internal'', may no longer be reference directly in the text;
  8722 potential INCOMPATIBILITY, may need to use "?thesis" in rare
  8723 situations;
  8724 
  8725 * Pure: generic 'sym' attribute which declares a rule both as pure
  8726 'elim?' and for the 'symmetric' operation;
  8727 
  8728 * Pure: marginal comments ``--'' may now occur just anywhere in the
  8729 text; the fixed correlation with particular command syntax has been
  8730 discontinued;
  8731 
  8732 * Pure: new method 'rules' is particularly well-suited for proof
  8733 search in intuitionistic logic; a bit slower than 'blast' or 'fast',
  8734 but often produces more compact proof terms with less detours;
  8735 
  8736 * Pure/Provers/classical: simplified integration with pure rule
  8737 attributes and methods; the classical "intro?/elim?/dest?"
  8738 declarations coincide with the pure ones; the "rule" method no longer
  8739 includes classically swapped intros; "intro" and "elim" methods no
  8740 longer pick rules from the context; also got rid of ML declarations
  8741 AddXIs/AddXEs/AddXDs; all of this has some potential for
  8742 INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8743 
  8744 * Provers/classical: attribute 'swapped' produces classical inversions
  8745 of introduction rules;
  8746 
  8747 * Provers/simplifier: 'simplified' attribute may refer to explicit
  8748 rules instead of full simplifier context; 'iff' attribute handles
  8749 conditional rules;
  8750 
  8751 * HOL: 'typedef' now allows alternative names for Rep/Abs morphisms;
  8752 
  8753 * HOL: 'recdef' now fails on unfinished automated proofs, use
  8754 "(permissive)" option to recover old behavior;
  8755 
  8756 * HOL: 'inductive' no longer features separate (collective) attributes
  8757 for 'intros' (was found too confusing);
  8758 
  8759 * HOL: properly declared induction rules less_induct and
  8760 wf_induct_rule;
  8761 
  8762 
  8763 *** HOL ***
  8764 
  8765 * HOL: moved over to sane numeral syntax; the new policy is as
  8766 follows:
  8767 
  8768   - 0 and 1 are polymorphic constants, which are defined on any
  8769   numeric type (nat, int, real etc.);
  8770 
  8771   - 2, 3, 4, ... and -1, -2, -3, ... are polymorphic numerals, based
  8772   binary representation internally;
  8773 
  8774   - type nat has special constructor Suc, and generally prefers Suc 0
  8775   over 1::nat and Suc (Suc 0) over 2::nat;
  8776 
  8777 This change may cause significant problems of INCOMPATIBILITY; here
  8778 are some hints on converting existing sources:
  8779 
  8780   - due to the new "num" token, "-0" and "-1" etc. are now atomic
  8781   entities, so expressions involving "-" (unary or binary minus) need
  8782   to be spaced properly;
  8783 
  8784   - existing occurrences of "1" may need to be constraint "1::nat" or
  8785   even replaced by Suc 0; similar for old "2";
  8786 
  8787   - replace "#nnn" by "nnn", and "#-nnn" by "-nnn";
  8788 
  8789   - remove all special provisions on numerals in proofs;
  8790 
  8791 * HOL: simp rules nat_number expand numerals on nat to Suc/0
  8792 representation (depends on bin_arith_simps in the default context);
  8793 
  8794 * HOL: symbolic syntax for x^2 (numeral 2);
  8795 
  8796 * HOL: the class of all HOL types is now called "type" rather than
  8797 "term"; INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt references to this type class
  8798 in axclass/classes, instance/arities, and (usually rare) occurrences
  8799 in typings (of consts etc.); internally the class is called
  8800 "HOL.type", ML programs should refer to HOLogic.typeS;
  8801 
  8802 * HOL/record package improvements:
  8803   - new derived operations "fields" to build a partial record section,
  8804     "extend" to promote a fixed record to a record scheme, and
  8805     "truncate" for the reverse; cf. theorems "xxx.defs", which are *not*
  8806     declared as simp by default;
  8807   - shared operations ("more", "fields", etc.) now need to be always
  8808     qualified) --- potential INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8809   - removed "make_scheme" operations (use "make" with "extend") --
  8810     INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8811   - removed "more" class (simply use "term") -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8812   - provides cases/induct rules for use with corresponding Isar
  8813     methods (for concrete records, record schemes, concrete more
  8814     parts, and schematic more parts -- in that order);
  8815   - internal definitions directly based on a light-weight abstract
  8816     theory of product types over typedef rather than datatype;
  8817 
  8818 * HOL: generic code generator for generating executable ML code from
  8819 specifications; specific support for HOL constructs such as inductive
  8820 datatypes and sets, as well as recursive functions; can be invoked
  8821 via 'generate_code' theory section;
  8822 
  8823 * HOL: canonical cases/induct rules for n-tuples (n = 3..7);
  8824 
  8825 * HOL: consolidated and renamed several theories.  In particular:
  8826         Ord.thy has been absorbed into HOL.thy
  8827         String.thy has been absorbed into List.thy
  8828 
  8829 * HOL: concrete setsum syntax "\<Sum>i:A. b" == "setsum (%i. b) A"
  8830 (beware of argument permutation!);
  8831 
  8832 * HOL: linorder_less_split superseded by linorder_cases;
  8833 
  8834 * HOL/List: "nodups" renamed to "distinct";
  8835 
  8836 * HOL: added "The" definite description operator; move Hilbert's "Eps"
  8837 to peripheral theory "Hilbert_Choice"; some INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  8838   - Ex_def has changed, now need to use some_eq_ex
  8839 
  8840 * HOL: made split_all_tac safe; EXISTING PROOFS MAY FAIL OR LOOP, so
  8841 in this (rare) case use:
  8842 
  8843   delSWrapper "split_all_tac"
  8844   addSbefore ("unsafe_split_all_tac", unsafe_split_all_tac)
  8845 
  8846 * HOL: added safe wrapper "split_conv_tac" to claset; EXISTING PROOFS
  8847 MAY FAIL;
  8848 
  8849 * HOL: introduced f^n = f o ... o f; warning: due to the limits of
  8850 Isabelle's type classes, ^ on functions and relations has too general
  8851 a domain, namely ('a * 'b) set and 'a => 'b; this means that it may be
  8852 necessary to attach explicit type constraints;
  8853 
  8854 * HOL/Relation: the prefix name of the infix "O" has been changed from
  8855 "comp" to "rel_comp"; INCOMPATIBILITY: a few theorems have been
  8856 renamed accordingly (eg "compI" -> "rel_compI").
  8857 
  8858 * HOL: syntax translations now work properly with numerals and records
  8859 expressions;
  8860 
  8861 * HOL: bounded abstraction now uses syntax "%" / "\<lambda>" instead
  8862 of "lam" -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8863 
  8864 * HOL: got rid of some global declarations (potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  8865 for ML tools): const "()" renamed "Product_Type.Unity", type "unit"
  8866 renamed "Product_Type.unit";
  8867 
  8868 * HOL: renamed rtrancl_into_rtrancl2 to converse_rtrancl_into_rtrancl
  8869 
  8870 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem "optionE" (use "option.exhaust", or
  8871 the "cases" method);
  8872 
  8873 * HOL/GroupTheory: group theory examples including Sylow's theorem (by
  8874 Florian Kammller);
  8875 
  8876 * HOL/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory format; several
  8877 parts turned into readable document, with proper Isar proof texts and
  8878 some explanations (by Gerwin Klein);
  8879 
  8880 * HOL-Real: added Complex_Numbers (by Gertrud Bauer);
  8881 
  8882 * HOL-Hyperreal is now a logic image;
  8883 
  8884 
  8885 *** HOLCF ***
  8886 
  8887 * Isar: consts/constdefs supports mixfix syntax for continuous
  8888 operations;
  8889 
  8890 * Isar: domain package adapted to new-style theory format, e.g. see
  8891 HOLCF/ex/Dnat.thy;
  8892 
  8893 * theory Lift: proper use of rep_datatype lift instead of ML hacks --
  8894 potential INCOMPATIBILITY; now use plain induct_tac instead of former
  8895 lift.induct_tac, always use UU instead of Undef;
  8896 
  8897 * HOLCF/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory;
  8898 
  8899 
  8900 *** ZF ***
  8901 
  8902 * Isar: proper integration of logic-specific tools and packages,
  8903 including theory commands '(co)inductive', '(co)datatype',
  8904 'rep_datatype', 'inductive_cases', as well as methods 'ind_cases',
  8905 'induct_tac', 'case_tac', and 'typecheck' (with attribute 'TC');
  8906 
  8907 * theory Main no longer includes AC; for the Axiom of Choice, base
  8908 your theory on Main_ZFC;
  8909 
  8910 * the integer library now covers quotients and remainders, with many
  8911 laws relating division to addition, multiplication, etc.;
  8912 
  8913 * ZF/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY is now available in ZF, giving a
  8914 typeless version of the formalism;
  8915 
  8916 * ZF/AC, Coind, IMP, Resid: updated and converted to new-style theory
  8917 format;
  8918 
  8919 * ZF/Induct: new directory for examples of inductive definitions,
  8920 including theory Multiset for multiset orderings; converted to
  8921 new-style theory format;
  8922 
  8923 * ZF: many new theorems about lists, ordinals, etc.;
  8924 
  8925 
  8926 *** General ***
  8927 
  8928 * Pure/kernel: meta-level proof terms (by Stefan Berghofer); reference
  8929 variable proof controls level of detail: 0 = no proofs (only oracle
  8930 dependencies), 1 = lemma dependencies, 2 = compact proof terms; see
  8931 also ref manual for further ML interfaces;
  8932 
  8933 * Pure/axclass: removed obsolete ML interface
  8934 goal_subclass/goal_arity;
  8935 
  8936 * Pure/syntax: new token syntax "num" for plain numerals (without "#"
  8937 of "xnum"); potential INCOMPATIBILITY, since -0, -1 etc. are now
  8938 separate tokens, so expressions involving minus need to be spaced
  8939 properly;
  8940 
  8941 * Pure/syntax: support non-oriented infixes, using keyword "infix"
  8942 rather than "infixl" or "infixr";
  8943 
  8944 * Pure/syntax: concrete syntax for dummy type variables admits genuine
  8945 sort constraint specifications in type inference; e.g. "x::_::foo"
  8946 ensures that the type of "x" is of sort "foo" (but not necessarily a
  8947 type variable);
  8948 
  8949 * Pure/syntax: print modes "type_brackets" and "no_type_brackets"
  8950 control output of nested => (types); the default behavior is
  8951 "type_brackets";
  8952 
  8953 * Pure/syntax: builtin parse translation for "_constify" turns valued
  8954 tokens into AST constants;
  8955 
  8956 * Pure/syntax: prefer later declarations of translations and print
  8957 translation functions; potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to reverse
  8958 multiple declarations for same syntax element constant;
  8959 
  8960 * Pure/show_hyps reset by default (in accordance to existing Isar
  8961 practice);
  8962 
  8963 * Provers/classical: renamed addaltern to addafter, addSaltern to
  8964 addSafter;
  8965 
  8966 * Provers/clasimp: ``iff'' declarations now handle conditional rules
  8967 as well;
  8968 
  8969 * system: tested support for MacOS X; should be able to get Isabelle +
  8970 Proof General to work in a plain Terminal after installing Poly/ML
  8971 (e.g. from the Isabelle distribution area) and GNU bash alone
  8972 (e.g. from http://www.apple.com); full X11, XEmacs and X-Symbol
  8973 support requires further installations, e.g. from
  8974 http://fink.sourceforge.net/);
  8975 
  8976 * system: support Poly/ML 4.1.1 (able to manage larger heaps);
  8977 
  8978 * system: reduced base memory usage by Poly/ML (approx. 20 MB instead
  8979 of 40 MB), cf. ML_OPTIONS;
  8980 
  8981 * system: Proof General keywords specification is now part of the
  8982 Isabelle distribution (see etc/isar-keywords.el);
  8983 
  8984 * system: support for persistent Proof General sessions (refrain from
  8985 outdating all loaded theories on startup); user may create writable
  8986 logic images like this: ``isabelle -q HOL Test'';
  8987 
  8988 * system: smart selection of Isabelle process versus Isabelle
  8989 interface, accommodates case-insensitive file systems (e.g. HFS+); may
  8990 run both "isabelle" and "Isabelle" even if file names are badly
  8991 damaged (executable inspects the case of the first letter of its own
  8992 name); added separate "isabelle-process" and "isabelle-interface";
  8993 
  8994 * system: refrain from any attempt at filtering input streams; no
  8995 longer support ``8bit'' encoding of old isabelle font, instead proper
  8996 iso-latin characters may now be used; the related isatools
  8997 "symbolinput" and "nonascii" have disappeared as well;
  8998 
  8999 * system: removed old "xterm" interface (the print modes "xterm" and
  9000 "xterm_color" are still available for direct use in a suitable
  9001 terminal);
  9002 
  9003 
  9004 
  9005 New in Isabelle99-2 (February 2001)
  9006 -----------------------------------
  9007 
  9008 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  9009 
  9010 * HOL: please note that theories in the Library and elsewhere often use the
  9011 new-style (Isar) format; to refer to their theorems in an ML script you must
  9012 bind them to ML identifers by e.g.      val thm_name = thm "thm_name";
  9013 
  9014 * HOL: inductive package no longer splits induction rule aggressively,
  9015 but only as far as specified by the introductions given; the old
  9016 format may be recovered via ML function complete_split_rule or attribute
  9017 'split_rule (complete)';
  9018 
  9019 * HOL: induct renamed to lfp_induct, lfp_Tarski to lfp_unfold,
  9020 gfp_Tarski to gfp_unfold;
  9021 
  9022 * HOL: contrapos, contrapos2 renamed to contrapos_nn, contrapos_pp;
  9023 
  9024 * HOL: infix "dvd" now has priority 50 rather than 70 (because it is a
  9025 relation); infix "^^" has been renamed "``"; infix "``" has been
  9026 renamed "`"; "univalent" has been renamed "single_valued";
  9027 
  9028 * HOL/Real: "rinv" and "hrinv" replaced by overloaded "inverse"
  9029 operation;
  9030 
  9031 * HOLCF: infix "`" has been renamed "$"; the symbol syntax is \<cdot>;
  9032 
  9033 * Isar: 'obtain' no longer declares "that" fact as simp/intro;
  9034 
  9035 * Isar/HOL: method 'induct' now handles non-atomic goals; as a
  9036 consequence, it is no longer monotonic wrt. the local goal context
  9037 (which is now passed through the inductive cases);
  9038 
  9039 * Document preparation: renamed standard symbols \<ll> to \<lless> and
  9040 \<gg> to \<ggreater>;
  9041 
  9042 
  9043 *** Document preparation ***
  9044 
  9045 * \isabellestyle{NAME} selects version of Isabelle output (currently
  9046 available: are "it" for near math-mode best-style output, "sl" for
  9047 slanted text style, and "tt" for plain type-writer; if no
  9048 \isabellestyle command is given, output is according to slanted
  9049 type-writer);
  9050 
  9051 * support sub/super scripts (for single symbols only), input syntax is
  9052 like this: "A\<^sup>*" or "A\<^sup>\<star>";
  9053 
  9054 * some more standard symbols; see Appendix A of the system manual for
  9055 the complete list of symbols defined in isabellesym.sty;
  9056 
  9057 * improved isabelle style files; more abstract symbol implementation
  9058 (should now use \isamath{...} and \isatext{...} in custom symbol
  9059 definitions);
  9060 
  9061 * antiquotation @{goals} and @{subgoals} for output of *dynamic* goals
  9062 state; Note that presentation of goal states does not conform to
  9063 actual human-readable proof documents.  Please do not include goal
  9064 states into document output unless you really know what you are doing!
  9065 
  9066 * proper indentation of antiquoted output with proportional LaTeX
  9067 fonts;
  9068 
  9069 * no_document ML operator temporarily disables LaTeX document
  9070 generation;
  9071 
  9072 * isatool unsymbolize tunes sources for plain ASCII communication;
  9073 
  9074 
  9075 *** Isar ***
  9076 
  9077 * Pure: Isar now suffers initial goal statements to contain unbound
  9078 schematic variables (this does not conform to actual readable proof
  9079 documents, due to unpredictable outcome and non-compositional proof
  9080 checking); users who know what they are doing may use schematic goals
  9081 for Prolog-style synthesis of proven results;
  9082 
  9083 * Pure: assumption method (an implicit finishing) now handles actual
  9084 rules as well;
  9085 
  9086 * Pure: improved 'obtain' --- moved to Pure, insert "that" into
  9087 initial goal, declare "that" only as Pure intro (only for single
  9088 steps); the "that" rule assumption may now be involved in implicit
  9089 finishing, thus ".." becomes a feasible for trivial obtains;
  9090 
  9091 * Pure: default proof step now includes 'intro_classes'; thus trivial
  9092 instance proofs may be performed by "..";
  9093 
  9094 * Pure: ?thesis / ?this / "..." now work for pure meta-level
  9095 statements as well;
  9096 
  9097 * Pure: more robust selection of calculational rules;
  9098 
  9099 * Pure: the builtin notion of 'finished' goal now includes the ==-refl
  9100 rule (as well as the assumption rule);
  9101 
  9102 * Pure: 'thm_deps' command visualizes dependencies of theorems and
  9103 lemmas, using the graph browser tool;
  9104 
  9105 * Pure: predict failure of "show" in interactive mode;
  9106 
  9107 * Pure: 'thms_containing' now takes actual terms as arguments;
  9108 
  9109 * HOL: improved method 'induct' --- now handles non-atomic goals
  9110 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY); tuned error handling;
  9111 
  9112 * HOL: cases and induct rules now provide explicit hints about the
  9113 number of facts to be consumed (0 for "type" and 1 for "set" rules);
  9114 any remaining facts are inserted into the goal verbatim;
  9115 
  9116 * HOL: local contexts (aka cases) may now contain term bindings as
  9117 well; the 'cases' and 'induct' methods new provide a ?case binding for
  9118 the result to be shown in each case;
  9119 
  9120 * HOL: added 'recdef_tc' command;
  9121 
  9122 * isatool convert assists in eliminating legacy ML scripts;
  9123 
  9124 
  9125 *** HOL ***
  9126 
  9127 * HOL/Library: a collection of generic theories to be used together
  9128 with main HOL; the theory loader path already includes this directory
  9129 by default; the following existing theories have been moved here:
  9130 HOL/Induct/Multiset, HOL/Induct/Acc (as Accessible_Part), HOL/While
  9131 (as While_Combinator), HOL/Lex/Prefix (as List_Prefix);
  9132 
  9133 * HOL/Unix: "Some aspects of Unix file-system security", a typical
  9134 modelling and verification task performed in Isabelle/HOL +
  9135 Isabelle/Isar + Isabelle document preparation (by Markus Wenzel).
  9136 
  9137 * HOL/Algebra: special summation operator SUM no longer exists, it has
  9138 been replaced by setsum; infix 'assoc' now has priority 50 (like
  9139 'dvd'); axiom 'one_not_zero' has been moved from axclass 'ring' to
  9140 'domain', this makes the theory consistent with mathematical
  9141 literature;
  9142 
  9143 * HOL basics: added overloaded operations "inverse" and "divide"
  9144 (infix "/"), syntax for generic "abs" operation, generic summation
  9145 operator \<Sum>;
  9146 
  9147 * HOL/typedef: simplified package, provide more useful rules (see also
  9148 HOL/subset.thy);
  9149 
  9150 * HOL/datatype: induction rule for arbitrarily branching datatypes is
  9151 now expressed as a proper nested rule (old-style tactic scripts may
  9152 require atomize_strip_tac to cope with non-atomic premises);
  9153 
  9154 * HOL: renamed theory "Prod" to "Product_Type", renamed "split" rule
  9155 to "split_conv" (old name still available for compatibility);
  9156 
  9157 * HOL: improved concrete syntax for strings (e.g. allows translation
  9158 rules with string literals);
  9159 
  9160 * HOL-Real-Hyperreal: this extends HOL-Real with the hyperreals
  9161  and Fleuriot's mechanization of analysis, including the transcendental
  9162  functions for the reals;
  9163 
  9164 * HOL/Real, HOL/Hyperreal: improved arithmetic simplification;
  9165 
  9166 
  9167 *** CTT ***
  9168 
  9169 * CTT: x-symbol support for Pi, Sigma, -->, : (membership); note that
  9170 "lam" is displayed as TWO lambda-symbols
  9171 
  9172 * CTT: theory Main now available, containing everything (that is, Bool
  9173 and Arith);
  9174 
  9175 
  9176 *** General ***
  9177 
  9178 * Pure: the Simplifier has been implemented properly as a derived rule
  9179 outside of the actual kernel (at last!); the overall performance
  9180 penalty in practical applications is about 50%, while reliability of
  9181 the Isabelle inference kernel has been greatly improved;
  9182 
  9183 * print modes "brackets" and "no_brackets" control output of nested =>
  9184 (types) and ==> (props); the default behaviour is "brackets";
  9185 
  9186 * Provers: fast_tac (and friends) now handle actual object-logic rules
  9187 as assumptions as well;
  9188 
  9189 * system: support Poly/ML 4.0;
  9190 
  9191 * system: isatool install handles KDE version 1 or 2;
  9192 
  9193 
  9194 
  9195 New in Isabelle99-1 (October 2000)
  9196 ----------------------------------
  9197 
  9198 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  9199 
  9200 * HOL: simplification of natural numbers is much changed; to partly
  9201 recover the old behaviour (e.g. to prevent n+n rewriting to #2*n)
  9202 issue the following ML commands:
  9203 
  9204   Delsimprocs Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.cancel_numerals;
  9205   Delsimprocs [Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.combine_numerals];
  9206 
  9207 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions; this is
  9208 controlled by "t.weak_case_cong" for each datatype t;
  9209 
  9210 * HOL: nat_less_induct renamed to less_induct;
  9211 
  9212 * HOL: systematic renaming of the SOME (Eps) rules, may use isatool
  9213 fixsome to patch .thy and .ML sources automatically;
  9214 
  9215   select_equality  -> some_equality
  9216   select_eq_Ex     -> some_eq_ex
  9217   selectI2EX       -> someI2_ex
  9218   selectI2         -> someI2
  9219   selectI          -> someI
  9220   select1_equality -> some1_equality
  9221   Eps_sym_eq       -> some_sym_eq_trivial
  9222   Eps_eq           -> some_eq_trivial
  9223 
  9224 * HOL: exhaust_tac on datatypes superceded by new generic case_tac;
  9225 
  9226 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem binding expand_if (refer to split_if
  9227 instead);
  9228 
  9229 * HOL: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' are now called
  9230 f.simps instead of f.rules;
  9231 
  9232 * HOL: qed_spec_mp now also handles bounded ALL as well;
  9233 
  9234 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded, so the type constraint ":: nat" may
  9235 sometimes be needed;
  9236 
  9237 * HOL: the constant for "f``x" is now "image" rather than "op ``";
  9238 
  9239 * HOL: the constant for "f-``x" is now "vimage" rather than "op -``";
  9240 
  9241 * HOL: the disjoint sum is now "<+>" instead of "Plus"; the cartesian
  9242 product is now "<*>" instead of "Times"; the lexicographic product is
  9243 now "<*lex*>" instead of "**";
  9244 
  9245 * HOL: theory Sexp is now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part
  9246 of main HOL, but was unused); better use HOL's datatype package;
  9247 
  9248 * HOL: removed "symbols" syntax for constant "override" of theory Map;
  9249 the old syntax may be recovered as follows:
  9250 
  9251   syntax (symbols)
  9252     override  :: "('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b)"
  9253       (infixl "\\<oplus>" 100)
  9254 
  9255 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
  9256 
  9257 * HOL/ML: even fewer consts are declared as global (see theories Ord,
  9258 Lfp, Gfp, WF); this only affects ML packages that refer to const names
  9259 internally;
  9260 
  9261 * HOL and ZF: syntax for quotienting wrt an equivalence relation
  9262 changed from A/r to A//r;
  9263 
  9264 * ZF: new treatment of arithmetic (nat & int) may break some old
  9265 proofs;
  9266 
  9267 * Isar: renamed some attributes (RS -> THEN, simplify -> simplified,
  9268 rulify -> rule_format, elimify -> elim_format, ...);
  9269 
  9270 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
  9271 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (in most cases, one
  9272 should have to change intro!! to intro? only); replaced "delrule" by
  9273 "rule del";
  9274 
  9275 * Isar/HOL: renamed "intrs" to "intros" in inductive definitions;
  9276 
  9277 * Provers: strengthened force_tac by using new first_best_tac;
  9278 
  9279 * LaTeX document preparation: several changes of isabelle.sty (see
  9280 lib/texinputs);
  9281 
  9282 
  9283 *** Document preparation ***
  9284 
  9285 * formal comments (text blocks etc.) in new-style theories may now
  9286 contain antiquotations of thm/prop/term/typ/text to be presented
  9287 according to latex print mode; concrete syntax is like this:
  9288 @{term[show_types] "f(x) = a + x"};
  9289 
  9290 * isatool mkdir provides easy setup of Isabelle session directories,
  9291 including proper document sources;
  9292 
  9293 * generated LaTeX sources are now deleted after successful run
  9294 (isatool document -c); may retain a copy somewhere else via -D option
  9295 of isatool usedir;
  9296 
  9297 * isatool usedir -D now lets isatool latex -o sty update the Isabelle
  9298 style files, achieving self-contained LaTeX sources and simplifying
  9299 LaTeX debugging;
  9300 
  9301 * old-style theories now produce (crude) LaTeX output as well;
  9302 
  9303 * browser info session directories are now self-contained (may be put
  9304 on WWW server seperately); improved graphs of nested sessions; removed
  9305 graph for 'all sessions';
  9306 
  9307 * several improvements in isabelle style files; \isabellestyle{it}
  9308 produces fake math mode output; \isamarkupheader is now \section by
  9309 default; see lib/texinputs/isabelle.sty etc.;
  9310 
  9311 
  9312 *** Isar ***
  9313 
  9314 * Isar/Pure: local results and corresponding term bindings are now
  9315 subject to Hindley-Milner polymorphism (similar to ML); this
  9316 accommodates incremental type-inference very nicely;
  9317 
  9318 * Isar/Pure: new derived language element 'obtain' supports
  9319 generalized existence reasoning;
  9320 
  9321 * Isar/Pure: new calculational elements 'moreover' and 'ultimately'
  9322 support accumulation of results, without applying any rules yet;
  9323 useful to collect intermediate results without explicit name
  9324 references, and for use with transitivity rules with more than 2
  9325 premises;
  9326 
  9327 * Isar/Pure: scalable support for case-analysis type proofs: new
  9328 'case' language element refers to local contexts symbolically, as
  9329 produced by certain proof methods; internally, case names are attached
  9330 to theorems as "tags";
  9331 
  9332 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'hide' removes declarations from
  9333 class/type/const name spaces;
  9334 
  9335 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'defs' supports option "(overloaded)" to
  9336 indicate potential overloading;
  9337 
  9338 * Isar/Pure: changed syntax of local blocks from {{ }} to { };
  9339 
  9340 * Isar/Pure: syntax of sorts made 'inner', i.e. have to write
  9341 "{a,b,c}" instead of {a,b,c};
  9342 
  9343 * Isar/Pure now provides its own version of intro/elim/dest
  9344 attributes; useful for building new logics, but beware of confusion
  9345 with the version in Provers/classical;
  9346 
  9347 * Isar/Pure: the local context of (non-atomic) goals is provided via
  9348 case name 'antecedent';
  9349 
  9350 * Isar/Pure: removed obsolete 'transfer' attribute (transfer of thms
  9351 to the current context is now done automatically);
  9352 
  9353 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'method_setup' provides a simple interface
  9354 for definining proof methods in ML;
  9355 
  9356 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
  9357 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  9358 most cases, one should have to change intro!! to intro? only);
  9359 replaced "delrule" by "rule del";
  9360 
  9361 * Isar/Provers: new 'hypsubst' method, plain 'subst' method and
  9362 'symmetric' attribute (the latter supercedes [RS sym]);
  9363 
  9364 * Isar/Provers: splitter support (via 'split' attribute and 'simp'
  9365 method modifier); 'simp' method: 'only:' modifier removes loopers as
  9366 well (including splits);
  9367 
  9368 * Isar/Provers: Simplifier and Classical methods now support all kind
  9369 of modifiers used in the past, including 'cong', 'iff', etc.
  9370 
  9371 * Isar/Provers: added 'fastsimp' and 'clarsimp' methods (combination
  9372 of Simplifier and Classical reasoner);
  9373 
  9374 * Isar/HOL: new proof method 'cases' and improved version of 'induct'
  9375 now support named cases; major packages (inductive, datatype, primrec,
  9376 recdef) support case names and properly name parameters;
  9377 
  9378 * Isar/HOL: new transitivity rules for substitution in inequalities --
  9379 monotonicity conditions are extracted to be proven at end of
  9380 calculations;
  9381 
  9382 * Isar/HOL: removed 'case_split' thm binding, should use 'cases' proof
  9383 method anyway;
  9384 
  9385 * Isar/HOL: removed old expand_if = split_if; theorems if_splits =
  9386 split_if split_if_asm; datatype package provides theorems foo.splits =
  9387 foo.split foo.split_asm for each datatype;
  9388 
  9389 * Isar/HOL: tuned inductive package, rename "intrs" to "intros"
  9390 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY), emulation of mk_cases feature for proof
  9391 scripts: new 'inductive_cases' command and 'ind_cases' method; (Note:
  9392 use "(cases (simplified))" method in proper proof texts);
  9393 
  9394 * Isar/HOL: added global 'arith_split' attribute for 'arith' method;
  9395 
  9396 * Isar: names of theorems etc. may be natural numbers as well;
  9397 
  9398 * Isar: 'pr' command: optional arguments for goals_limit and
  9399 ProofContext.prems_limit; no longer prints theory contexts, but only
  9400 proof states;
  9401 
  9402 * Isar: diagnostic commands 'pr', 'thm', 'prop', 'term', 'typ' admit
  9403 additional print modes to be specified; e.g. "pr(latex)" will print
  9404 proof state according to the Isabelle LaTeX style;
  9405 
  9406 * Isar: improved support for emulating tactic scripts, including proof
  9407 methods 'rule_tac' etc., 'cut_tac', 'thin_tac', 'subgoal_tac',
  9408 'rename_tac', 'rotate_tac', 'tactic', and 'case_tac' / 'induct_tac'
  9409 (for HOL datatypes);
  9410 
  9411 * Isar: simplified (more robust) goal selection of proof methods: 1st
  9412 goal, all goals, or explicit goal specifier (tactic emulation); thus
  9413 'proof method scripts' have to be in depth-first order;
  9414 
  9415 * Isar: tuned 'let' syntax: replaced 'as' keyword by 'and';
  9416 
  9417 * Isar: removed 'help' command, which hasn't been too helpful anyway;
  9418 should instead use individual commands for printing items
  9419 (print_commands, print_methods etc.);
  9420 
  9421 * Isar: added 'nothing' --- the empty list of theorems;
  9422 
  9423 
  9424 *** HOL ***
  9425 
  9426 * HOL/MicroJava: formalization of a fragment of Java, together with a
  9427 corresponding virtual machine and a specification of its bytecode
  9428 verifier and a lightweight bytecode verifier, including proofs of
  9429 type-safety; by Gerwin Klein, Tobias Nipkow, David von Oheimb, and
  9430 Cornelia Pusch (see also the homepage of project Bali at
  9431 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Bali/);
  9432 
  9433 * HOL/Algebra: new theory of rings and univariate polynomials, by
  9434 Clemens Ballarin;
  9435 
  9436 * HOL/NumberTheory: fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, Chinese
  9437 Remainder Theorem, Fermat/Euler Theorem, Wilson's Theorem, by Thomas M
  9438 Rasmussen;
  9439 
  9440 * HOL/Lattice: fundamental concepts of lattice theory and order
  9441 structures, including duals, properties of bounds versus algebraic
  9442 laws, lattice operations versus set-theoretic ones, the Knaster-Tarski
  9443 Theorem for complete lattices etc.; may also serve as a demonstration
  9444 for abstract algebraic reasoning using axiomatic type classes, and
  9445 mathematics-style proof in Isabelle/Isar; by Markus Wenzel;
  9446 
  9447 * HOL/Prolog: a (bare-bones) implementation of Lambda-Prolog, by David
  9448 von Oheimb;
  9449 
  9450 * HOL/IMPP: extension of IMP with local variables and mutually
  9451 recursive procedures, by David von Oheimb;
  9452 
  9453 * HOL/Lambda: converted into new-style theory and document;
  9454 
  9455 * HOL/ex/Multiquote: example of multiple nested quotations and
  9456 anti-quotations -- basically a generalized version of de-Bruijn
  9457 representation; very useful in avoiding lifting of operations;
  9458 
  9459 * HOL/record: added general record equality rule to simpset; fixed
  9460 select-update simplification procedure to handle extended records as
  9461 well; admit "r" as field name;
  9462 
  9463 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded over the new sort "zero", allowing its use with
  9464 other numeric types and also as the identity of groups, rings, etc.;
  9465 
  9466 * HOL: new axclass plus_ac0 for addition with the AC-laws and 0 as identity.
  9467 Types nat and int belong to this axclass;
  9468 
  9469 * HOL: greatly improved simplification involving numerals of type nat, int, real:
  9470    (i + #8 + j) = Suc k simplifies to  #7 + (i + j) = k
  9471    i*j + k + j*#3*i     simplifies to  #4*(i*j) + k
  9472   two terms #m*u and #n*u are replaced by #(m+n)*u
  9473     (where #m, #n and u can implicitly be 1; this is simproc combine_numerals)
  9474   and the term/formula #m*u+x ~~ #n*u+y simplifies simplifies to #(m-n)+x ~~ y
  9475     or x ~~ #(n-m)+y, where ~~ is one of = < <= or - (simproc cancel_numerals);
  9476 
  9477 * HOL: meson_tac is available (previously in ex/meson.ML); it is a
  9478 powerful prover for predicate logic but knows nothing of clasets; see
  9479 ex/mesontest.ML and ex/mesontest2.ML for example applications;
  9480 
  9481 * HOL: new version of "case_tac" subsumes both boolean case split and
  9482 "exhaust_tac" on datatypes; INCOMPATIBILITY: exhaust_tac no longer
  9483 exists, may define val exhaust_tac = case_tac for ad-hoc portability;
  9484 
  9485 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions: only the
  9486 selector expression is simplified, but not the remaining arms; to
  9487 enable full simplification of case-expressions for datatype t, you may
  9488 remove t.weak_case_cong from the simpset, either globally (Delcongs
  9489 [thm"t.weak_case_cong"];) or locally (delcongs [...]).
  9490 
  9491 * HOL/recdef: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' for
  9492 function 'f' are now called f.simps instead of f.rules; if all
  9493 termination conditions are proved automatically, these simplification
  9494 rules are added to the simpset, as in primrec; rules may be named
  9495 individually as well, resulting in a separate list of theorems for
  9496 each equation;
  9497 
  9498 * HOL/While is a new theory that provides a while-combinator. It
  9499 permits the definition of tail-recursive functions without the
  9500 provision of a termination measure. The latter is necessary once the
  9501 invariant proof rule for while is applied.
  9502 
  9503 * HOL: new (overloaded) notation for the set of elements below/above
  9504 some element: {..u}, {..u(}, {l..}, {)l..}. See theory SetInterval.
  9505 
  9506 * HOL: theorems impI, allI, ballI bound as "strip";
  9507 
  9508 * HOL: new tactic induct_thm_tac: thm -> string -> int -> tactic
  9509 induct_tac th "x1 ... xn" expects th to have a conclusion of the form
  9510 P v1 ... vn and abbreviates res_inst_tac [("v1","x1"),...,("vn","xn")] th;
  9511 
  9512 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
  9513 
  9514 * HOL: theory Sexp now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part of
  9515 main HOL, but was unused);
  9516 
  9517 * HOL: fewer consts declared as global (e.g. have to refer to
  9518 "Lfp.lfp" instead of "lfp" internally; affects ML packages only);
  9519 
  9520 * HOL: tuned AST representation of nested pairs, avoiding bogus output
  9521 in case of overlap with user translations (e.g. judgements over
  9522 tuples); (note that the underlying logical represenation is still
  9523 bogus);
  9524 
  9525 
  9526 *** ZF ***
  9527 
  9528 * ZF: simplification automatically cancels common terms in arithmetic
  9529 expressions over nat and int;
  9530 
  9531 * ZF: new treatment of nat to minimize type-checking: all operators
  9532 coerce their operands to a natural number using the function natify,
  9533 making the algebraic laws unconditional;
  9534 
  9535 * ZF: as above, for int: operators coerce their operands to an integer
  9536 using the function intify;
  9537 
  9538 * ZF: the integer library now contains many of the usual laws for the
  9539 orderings, including $<=, and monotonicity laws for $+ and $*;
  9540 
  9541 * ZF: new example ZF/ex/NatSum to demonstrate integer arithmetic
  9542 simplification;
  9543 
  9544 * FOL and ZF: AddIffs now available, giving theorems of the form P<->Q
  9545 to the simplifier and classical reasoner simultaneously;
  9546 
  9547 
  9548 *** General ***
  9549 
  9550 * Provers: blast_tac now handles actual object-logic rules as
  9551 assumptions; note that auto_tac uses blast_tac internally as well;
  9552 
  9553 * Provers: new functions rulify/rulify_no_asm: thm -> thm for turning
  9554 outer -->/All/Ball into ==>/!!; qed_spec_mp now uses rulify_no_asm;
  9555 
  9556 * Provers: delrules now handles destruct rules as well (no longer need
  9557 explicit make_elim);
  9558 
  9559 * Provers: Blast_tac now warns of and ignores "weak elimination rules" e.g.
  9560   [| inj ?f;          ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
  9561 use instead the strong form,
  9562   [| inj ?f; ~ ?W ==> ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
  9563 in HOL, FOL and ZF the function cla_make_elim will create such rules
  9564 from destruct-rules;
  9565 
  9566 * Provers: Simplifier.easy_setup provides a fast path to basic
  9567 Simplifier setup for new object-logics;
  9568 
  9569 * Pure: AST translation rules no longer require constant head on LHS;
  9570 
  9571 * Pure: improved name spaces: ambiguous output is qualified; support
  9572 for hiding of names;
  9573 
  9574 * system: smart setup of canonical ML_HOME, ISABELLE_INTERFACE, and
  9575 XSYMBOL_HOME; no longer need to do manual configuration in most
  9576 situations;
  9577 
  9578 * system: compression of ML heaps images may now be controlled via -c
  9579 option of isabelle and isatool usedir (currently only observed by
  9580 Poly/ML);
  9581 
  9582 * system: isatool installfonts may handle X-Symbol fonts as well (very
  9583 useful for remote X11);
  9584 
  9585 * system: provide TAGS file for Isabelle sources;
  9586 
  9587 * ML: infix 'OF' is a version of 'MRS' with more appropriate argument
  9588 order;
  9589 
  9590 * ML: renamed flags Syntax.trace_norm_ast to Syntax.trace_ast; global
  9591 timing flag supersedes proof_timing and Toplevel.trace;
  9592 
  9593 * ML: new combinators |>> and |>>> for incremental transformations
  9594 with secondary results (e.g. certain theory extensions):
  9595 
  9596 * ML: PureThy.add_defs gets additional argument to indicate potential
  9597 overloading (usually false);
  9598 
  9599 * ML: PureThy.add_thms/add_axioms/add_defs now return theorems as
  9600 results;
  9601 
  9602 
  9603 
  9604 New in Isabelle99 (October 1999)
  9605 --------------------------------
  9606 
  9607 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  9608 
  9609 * HOL: The THEN and ELSE parts of conditional expressions (if P then x else y)
  9610 are no longer simplified.  (This allows the simplifier to unfold recursive
  9611 functional programs.)  To restore the old behaviour, declare
  9612 
  9613     Delcongs [if_weak_cong];
  9614 
  9615 * HOL: Removed the obsolete syntax "Compl A"; use -A for set
  9616 complement;
  9617 
  9618 * HOL: the predicate "inj" is now defined by translation to "inj_on";
  9619 
  9620 * HOL/datatype: mutual_induct_tac no longer exists --
  9621   use induct_tac "x_1 ... x_n" instead of mutual_induct_tac ["x_1", ..., "x_n"]
  9622 
  9623 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
  9624 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
  9625 
  9626 * ZF: The con_defs part of an inductive definition may no longer refer
  9627 to constants declared in the same theory;
  9628 
  9629 * HOL, ZF: the function mk_cases, generated by the inductive
  9630 definition package, has lost an argument.  To simplify its result, it
  9631 uses the default simpset instead of a supplied list of theorems.
  9632 
  9633 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
  9634 
  9635 * Simplifier: the type of the infix ML functions
  9636         setSSolver addSSolver setSolver addSolver
  9637 is now  simpset * solver -> simpset  where `solver' is a new abstract type
  9638 for packaging solvers. A solver is created via
  9639         mk_solver: string -> (thm list -> int -> tactic) -> solver
  9640 where the string argument is only a comment.
  9641 
  9642 
  9643 *** Proof tools ***
  9644 
  9645 * Provers/Arith/fast_lin_arith.ML contains a functor for creating a
  9646 decision procedure for linear arithmetic. Currently it is used for
  9647 types `nat', `int', and `real' in HOL (see below); it can, should and
  9648 will be instantiated for other types and logics as well.
  9649 
  9650 * The simplifier now accepts rewrite rules with flexible heads, eg
  9651      hom ?f ==> ?f(?x+?y) = ?f ?x + ?f ?y
  9652   They are applied like any rule with a non-pattern lhs, i.e. by first-order
  9653   matching.
  9654 
  9655 
  9656 *** General ***
  9657 
  9658 * New Isabelle/Isar subsystem provides an alternative to traditional
  9659 tactical theorem proving; together with the ProofGeneral/isar user
  9660 interface it offers an interactive environment for developing human
  9661 readable proof documents (Isar == Intelligible semi-automated
  9662 reasoning); for further information see isatool doc isar-ref,
  9663 src/HOL/Isar_examples and http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Isar/
  9664 
  9665 * improved and simplified presentation of theories: better HTML markup
  9666 (including colors), graph views in several sizes; isatool usedir now
  9667 provides a proper interface for user theories (via -P option); actual
  9668 document preparation based on (PDF)LaTeX is available as well (for
  9669 new-style theories only); see isatool doc system for more information;
  9670 
  9671 * native support for Proof General, both for classic Isabelle and
  9672 Isabelle/Isar;
  9673 
  9674 * ML function thm_deps visualizes dependencies of theorems and lemmas,
  9675 using the graph browser tool;
  9676 
  9677 * Isabelle manuals now also available as PDF;
  9678 
  9679 * theory loader rewritten from scratch (may not be fully
  9680 bug-compatible); old loadpath variable has been replaced by show_path,
  9681 add_path, del_path, reset_path functions; new operations such as
  9682 update_thy, touch_thy, remove_thy, use/update_thy_only (see also
  9683 isatool doc ref);
  9684 
  9685 * improved isatool install: option -k creates KDE application icon,
  9686 option -p DIR installs standalone binaries;
  9687 
  9688 * added ML_PLATFORM setting (useful for cross-platform installations);
  9689 more robust handling of platform specific ML images for SML/NJ;
  9690 
  9691 * the settings environment is now statically scoped, i.e. it is never
  9692 created again in sub-processes invoked from isabelle, isatool, or
  9693 Isabelle;
  9694 
  9695 * path element specification '~~' refers to '$ISABELLE_HOME';
  9696 
  9697 * in locales, the "assumes" and "defines" parts may be omitted if
  9698 empty;
  9699 
  9700 * new print_mode "xsymbols" for extended symbol support (e.g. genuine
  9701 long arrows);
  9702 
  9703 * new print_mode "HTML";
  9704 
  9705 * new flag show_tags controls display of tags of theorems (which are
  9706 basically just comments that may be attached by some tools);
  9707 
  9708 * Isamode 2.6 requires patch to accomodate change of Isabelle font
  9709 mode and goal output format:
  9710 
  9711 diff -r Isamode-2.6/elisp/isa-load.el Isamode/elisp/isa-load.el
  9712 244c244
  9713 <       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-msymbols" logic-name)
  9714 ---
  9715 >       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-misabelle_font" "-msymbols" logic-name)
  9716 diff -r Isabelle-2.6/elisp/isa-proofstate.el Isamode/elisp/isa-proofstate.el
  9717 181c181
  9718 < (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+$"
  9719 ---
  9720 > (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+"
  9721 
  9722 * function bind_thms stores lists of theorems (cf. bind_thm);
  9723 
  9724 * new shorthand tactics ftac, eatac, datac, fatac;
  9725 
  9726 * qed (and friends) now accept "" as result name; in that case the
  9727 theorem is not stored, but proper checks and presentation of the
  9728 result still apply;
  9729 
  9730 * theorem database now also indexes constants "Trueprop", "all",
  9731 "==>", "=="; thus thms_containing, findI etc. may retrieve more rules;
  9732 
  9733 
  9734 *** HOL ***
  9735 
  9736 ** HOL arithmetic **
  9737 
  9738 * There are now decision procedures for linear arithmetic over nat and
  9739 int:
  9740 
  9741 1. arith_tac copes with arbitrary formulae involving `=', `<', `<=',
  9742 `+', `-', `Suc', `min', `max' and numerical constants; other subterms
  9743 are treated as atomic; subformulae not involving type `nat' or `int'
  9744 are ignored; quantified subformulae are ignored unless they are
  9745 positive universal or negative existential. The tactic has to be
  9746 invoked by hand and can be a little bit slow. In particular, the
  9747 running time is exponential in the number of occurrences of `min' and
  9748 `max', and `-' on `nat'.
  9749 
  9750 2. fast_arith_tac is a cut-down version of arith_tac: it only takes
  9751 (negated) (in)equalities among the premises and the conclusion into
  9752 account (i.e. no compound formulae) and does not know about `min' and
  9753 `max', and `-' on `nat'. It is fast and is used automatically by the
  9754 simplifier.
  9755 
  9756 NB: At the moment, these decision procedures do not cope with mixed
  9757 nat/int formulae where the two parts interact, such as `m < n ==>
  9758 int(m) < int(n)'.
  9759 
  9760 * HOL/Numeral provides a generic theory of numerals (encoded
  9761 efficiently as bit strings); setup for types nat/int/real is in place;
  9762 INCOMPATIBILITY: since numeral syntax is now polymorphic, rather than
  9763 int, existing theories and proof scripts may require a few additional
  9764 type constraints;
  9765 
  9766 * integer division and remainder can now be performed on constant
  9767 arguments;
  9768 
  9769 * many properties of integer multiplication, division and remainder
  9770 are now available;
  9771 
  9772 * An interface to the Stanford Validity Checker (SVC) is available through the
  9773 tactic svc_tac.  Propositional tautologies and theorems of linear arithmetic
  9774 are proved automatically.  SVC must be installed separately, and its results
  9775 must be TAKEN ON TRUST (Isabelle does not check the proofs, but tags any
  9776 invocation of the underlying oracle).  For SVC see
  9777   http://verify.stanford.edu/SVC
  9778 
  9779 * IsaMakefile: the HOL-Real target now builds an actual image;
  9780 
  9781 
  9782 ** HOL misc **
  9783 
  9784 * HOL/Real/HahnBanach: the Hahn-Banach theorem for real vector spaces
  9785 (in Isabelle/Isar) -- by Gertrud Bauer;
  9786 
  9787 * HOL/BCV: generic model of bytecode verification, i.e. data-flow
  9788 analysis for assembly languages with subtypes;
  9789 
  9790 * HOL/TLA (Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions): major reorganization
  9791 -- avoids syntactic ambiguities and treats state, transition, and
  9792 temporal levels more uniformly; introduces INCOMPATIBILITIES due to
  9793 changed syntax and (many) tactics;
  9794 
  9795 * HOL/inductive: Now also handles more general introduction rules such
  9796   as "ALL y. (y, x) : r --> y : acc r ==> x : acc r"; monotonicity
  9797   theorems are now maintained within the theory (maintained via the
  9798   "mono" attribute);
  9799 
  9800 * HOL/datatype: Now also handles arbitrarily branching datatypes
  9801   (using function types) such as
  9802 
  9803   datatype 'a tree = Atom 'a | Branch "nat => 'a tree"
  9804 
  9805 * HOL/record: record_simproc (part of the default simpset) takes care
  9806 of selectors applied to updated records; record_split_tac is no longer
  9807 part of the default claset; update_defs may now be removed from the
  9808 simpset in many cases; COMPATIBILITY: old behavior achieved by
  9809 
  9810   claset_ref () := claset() addSWrapper record_split_wrapper;
  9811   Delsimprocs [record_simproc]
  9812 
  9813 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
  9814 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
  9815 
  9816 * HOL/recdef (TFL): 'congs' syntax now expects comma separated list of theorem
  9817 names rather than an ML expression;
  9818 
  9819 * HOL/defer_recdef (TFL): like recdef but the well-founded relation can be
  9820 supplied later.  Program schemes can be defined, such as
  9821     "While B C s = (if B s then While B C (C s) else s)"
  9822 where the well-founded relation can be chosen after B and C have been given.
  9823 
  9824 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
  9825 INCOMPATIBILITY: while [] and infix # syntax is still there, of
  9826 course, ML tools referring to List.list.op # etc. have to be adapted;
  9827 
  9828 * HOL_quantifiers flag superseded by "HOL" print mode, which is
  9829 disabled by default; run isabelle with option -m HOL to get back to
  9830 the original Gordon/HOL-style output;
  9831 
  9832 * HOL/Ord.thy: new bounded quantifier syntax (input only): ALL x<y. P,
  9833 ALL x<=y. P, EX x<y. P, EX x<=y. P;
  9834 
  9835 * HOL basic syntax simplified (more orthogonal): all variants of
  9836 All/Ex now support plain / symbolic / HOL notation; plain syntax for
  9837 Eps operator is provided as well: "SOME x. P[x]";
  9838 
  9839 * HOL/Sum.thy: sum_case has been moved to HOL/Datatype;
  9840 
  9841 * HOL/Univ.thy: infix syntax <*>, <+>, <**>, <+> eliminated and made
  9842 thus available for user theories;
  9843 
  9844 * HOLCF/IOA/Sequents: renamed 'Cons' to 'Consq' to avoid clash with
  9845 HOL/List; hardly an INCOMPATIBILITY since '>>' syntax is used all the
  9846 time;
  9847 
  9848 * HOL: new tactic smp_tac: int -> int -> tactic, which applies spec
  9849 several times and then mp;
  9850 
  9851 
  9852 *** LK ***
  9853 
  9854 * the notation <<...>> is now available as a notation for sequences of
  9855 formulas;
  9856 
  9857 * the simplifier is now installed
  9858 
  9859 * the axiom system has been generalized (thanks to Soren Heilmann)
  9860 
  9861 * the classical reasoner now has a default rule database
  9862 
  9863 
  9864 *** ZF ***
  9865 
  9866 * new primrec section allows primitive recursive functions to be given
  9867 directly (as in HOL) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
  9868 
  9869 * new tactics induct_tac and exhaust_tac for induction (or case
  9870 analysis) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
  9871 
  9872 * the datatype declaration of type T now defines the recursor T_rec;
  9873 
  9874 * simplification automatically does freeness reasoning for datatype
  9875 constructors;
  9876 
  9877 * automatic type-inference, with AddTCs command to insert new
  9878 type-checking rules;
  9879 
  9880 * datatype introduction rules are now added as Safe Introduction rules
  9881 to the claset;
  9882 
  9883 * the syntax "if P then x else y" is now available in addition to
  9884 if(P,x,y);
  9885 
  9886 
  9887 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
  9888 
  9889 * tuned simplifier trace output; new flag debug_simp;
  9890 
  9891 * structures Vartab / Termtab (instances of TableFun) offer efficient
  9892 tables indexed by indexname_ord / term_ord (compatible with aconv);
  9893 
  9894 * AxClass.axclass_tac lost the theory argument;
  9895 
  9896 * tuned current_goals_markers semantics: begin / end goal avoids
  9897 printing empty lines;
  9898 
  9899 * removed prs and prs_fn hook, which was broken because it did not
  9900 include \n in its semantics, forcing writeln to add one
  9901 uncoditionally; replaced prs_fn by writeln_fn; consider std_output:
  9902 string -> unit if you really want to output text without newline;
  9903 
  9904 * Symbol.output subject to print mode; INCOMPATIBILITY: defaults to
  9905 plain output, interface builders may have to enable 'isabelle_font'
  9906 mode to get Isabelle font glyphs as before;
  9907 
  9908 * refined token_translation interface; INCOMPATIBILITY: output length
  9909 now of type real instead of int;
  9910 
  9911 * theory loader actions may be traced via new ThyInfo.add_hook
  9912 interface (see src/Pure/Thy/thy_info.ML); example application: keep
  9913 your own database of information attached to *whole* theories -- as
  9914 opposed to intra-theory data slots offered via TheoryDataFun;
  9915 
  9916 * proper handling of dangling sort hypotheses (at last!);
  9917 Thm.strip_shyps and Drule.strip_shyps_warning take care of removing
  9918 extra sort hypotheses that can be witnessed from the type signature;
  9919 the force_strip_shyps flag is gone, any remaining shyps are simply
  9920 left in the theorem (with a warning issued by strip_shyps_warning);
  9921 
  9922 
  9923 
  9924 New in Isabelle98-1 (October 1998)
  9925 ----------------------------------
  9926 
  9927 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  9928 
  9929 * several changes of automated proof tools;
  9930 
  9931 * HOL: major changes to the inductive and datatype packages, including
  9932 some minor incompatibilities of theory syntax;
  9933 
  9934 * HOL: renamed r^-1 to 'converse' from 'inverse'; 'inj_onto' is now
  9935 called `inj_on';
  9936 
  9937 * HOL: removed duplicate thms in Arith:
  9938   less_imp_add_less  should be replaced by  trans_less_add1
  9939   le_imp_add_le      should be replaced by  trans_le_add1
  9940 
  9941 * HOL: unary minus is now overloaded (new type constraints may be
  9942 required);
  9943 
  9944 * HOL and ZF: unary minus for integers is now #- instead of #~.  In
  9945 ZF, expressions such as n#-1 must be changed to n#- 1, since #-1 is
  9946 now taken as an integer constant.
  9947 
  9948 * Pure: ML function 'theory_of' renamed to 'theory';
  9949 
  9950 
  9951 *** Proof tools ***
  9952 
  9953 * Simplifier:
  9954   1. Asm_full_simp_tac is now more aggressive.
  9955      1. It will sometimes reorient premises if that increases their power to
  9956         simplify.
  9957      2. It does no longer proceed strictly from left to right but may also
  9958         rotate premises to achieve further simplification.
  9959      For compatibility reasons there is now Asm_lr_simp_tac which is like the
  9960      old Asm_full_simp_tac in that it does not rotate premises.
  9961   2. The simplifier now knows a little bit about nat-arithmetic.
  9962 
  9963 * Classical reasoner: wrapper mechanism for the classical reasoner now
  9964 allows for selected deletion of wrappers, by introduction of names for
  9965 wrapper functionals.  This implies that addbefore, addSbefore,
  9966 addaltern, and addSaltern now take a pair (name, tactic) as argument,
  9967 and that adding two tactics with the same name overwrites the first
  9968 one (emitting a warning).
  9969   type wrapper = (int -> tactic) -> (int -> tactic)
  9970   setWrapper, setSWrapper, compWrapper and compSWrapper are replaced by
  9971   addWrapper, addSWrapper: claset * (string * wrapper) -> claset
  9972   delWrapper, delSWrapper: claset *  string            -> claset
  9973   getWrapper is renamed to appWrappers, getSWrapper to appSWrappers;
  9974 
  9975 * Classical reasoner: addbefore/addSbefore now have APPEND/ORELSE
  9976 semantics; addbefore now affects only the unsafe part of step_tac
  9977 etc.; this affects addss/auto_tac/force_tac, so EXISTING PROOFS MAY
  9978 FAIL, but proofs should be fixable easily, e.g. by replacing Auto_tac
  9979 by Force_tac;
  9980 
  9981 * Classical reasoner: setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to
  9982 compWrapper; added safe wrapper (and access functions for it);
  9983 
  9984 * HOL/split_all_tac is now much faster and fails if there is nothing
  9985 to split.  Some EXISTING PROOFS MAY REQUIRE ADAPTION because the order
  9986 and the names of the automatically generated variables have changed.
  9987 split_all_tac has moved within claset() from unsafe wrappers to safe
  9988 wrappers, which means that !!-bound variables are split much more
  9989 aggressively, and safe_tac and clarify_tac now split such variables.
  9990 If this splitting is not appropriate, use delSWrapper "split_all_tac".
  9991 Note: the same holds for record_split_tac, which does the job of
  9992 split_all_tac for record fields.
  9993 
  9994 * HOL/Simplifier: Rewrite rules for case distinctions can now be added
  9995 permanently to the default simpset using Addsplits just like
  9996 Addsimps. They can be removed via Delsplits just like
  9997 Delsimps. Lower-case versions are also available.
  9998 
  9999 * HOL/Simplifier: The rule split_if is now part of the default
 10000 simpset. This means that the simplifier will eliminate all occurrences
 10001 of if-then-else in the conclusion of a goal. To prevent this, you can
 10002 either remove split_if completely from the default simpset by
 10003 `Delsplits [split_if]' or remove it in a specific call of the
 10004 simplifier using `... delsplits [split_if]'.  You can also add/delete
 10005 other case splitting rules to/from the default simpset: every datatype
 10006 generates suitable rules `split_t_case' and `split_t_case_asm' (where
 10007 t is the name of the datatype).
 10008 
 10009 * Classical reasoner / Simplifier combination: new force_tac (and
 10010 derivatives Force_tac, force) combines rewriting and classical
 10011 reasoning (and whatever other tools) similarly to auto_tac, but is
 10012 aimed to solve the given subgoal completely.
 10013 
 10014 
 10015 *** General ***
 10016 
 10017 * new top-level commands `Goal' and `Goalw' that improve upon `goal'
 10018 and `goalw': the theory is no longer needed as an explicit argument -
 10019 the current theory context is used; assumptions are no longer returned
 10020 at the ML-level unless one of them starts with ==> or !!; it is
 10021 recommended to convert to these new commands using isatool fixgoal
 10022 (backup your sources first!);
 10023 
 10024 * new top-level commands 'thm' and 'thms' for retrieving theorems from
 10025 the current theory context, and 'theory' to lookup stored theories;
 10026 
 10027 * new theory section 'locale' for declaring constants, assumptions and
 10028 definitions that have local scope;
 10029 
 10030 * new theory section 'nonterminals' for purely syntactic types;
 10031 
 10032 * new theory section 'setup' for generic ML setup functions
 10033 (e.g. package initialization);
 10034 
 10035 * the distribution now includes Isabelle icons: see
 10036 lib/logo/isabelle-{small,tiny}.xpm;
 10037 
 10038 * isatool install - install binaries with absolute references to
 10039 ISABELLE_HOME/bin;
 10040 
 10041 * isatool logo -- create instances of the Isabelle logo (as EPS);
 10042 
 10043 * print mode 'emacs' reserved for Isamode;
 10044 
 10045 * support multiple print (ast) translations per constant name;
 10046 
 10047 * theorems involving oracles are now printed with a suffixed [!];
 10048 
 10049 
 10050 *** HOL ***
 10051 
 10052 * there is now a tutorial on Isabelle/HOL (do 'isatool doc tutorial');
 10053 
 10054 * HOL/inductive package reorganized and improved: now supports mutual
 10055 definitions such as
 10056 
 10057   inductive EVEN ODD
 10058     intrs
 10059       null "0 : EVEN"
 10060       oddI "n : EVEN ==> Suc n : ODD"
 10061       evenI "n : ODD ==> Suc n : EVEN"
 10062 
 10063 new theorem list "elims" contains an elimination rule for each of the
 10064 recursive sets; inductive definitions now handle disjunctive premises
 10065 correctly (also ZF);
 10066 
 10067 INCOMPATIBILITIES: requires Inductive as an ancestor; component
 10068 "mutual_induct" no longer exists - the induction rule is always
 10069 contained in "induct";
 10070 
 10071 
 10072 * HOL/datatype package re-implemented and greatly improved: now
 10073 supports mutually recursive datatypes such as
 10074 
 10075   datatype
 10076     'a aexp = IF_THEN_ELSE ('a bexp) ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 10077             | SUM ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 10078             | DIFF ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 10079             | NUM 'a
 10080   and
 10081     'a bexp = LESS ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 10082             | AND ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
 10083             | OR ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
 10084 
 10085 as well as indirectly recursive datatypes such as
 10086 
 10087   datatype
 10088     ('a, 'b) term = Var 'a
 10089                   | App 'b ((('a, 'b) term) list)
 10090 
 10091 The new tactic  mutual_induct_tac [<var_1>, ..., <var_n>] i  performs
 10092 induction on mutually / indirectly recursive datatypes.
 10093 
 10094 Primrec equations are now stored in theory and can be accessed via
 10095 <function_name>.simps.
 10096 
 10097 INCOMPATIBILITIES:
 10098 
 10099   - Theories using datatypes must now have theory Datatype as an
 10100     ancestor.
 10101   - The specific <typename>.induct_tac no longer exists - use the
 10102     generic induct_tac instead.
 10103   - natE has been renamed to nat.exhaust - use exhaust_tac
 10104     instead of res_inst_tac ... natE. Note that the variable
 10105     names in nat.exhaust differ from the names in natE, this
 10106     may cause some "fragile" proofs to fail.
 10107   - The theorems split_<typename>_case and split_<typename>_case_asm
 10108     have been renamed to <typename>.split and <typename>.split_asm.
 10109   - Since default sorts of type variables are now handled correctly,
 10110     some datatype definitions may have to be annotated with explicit
 10111     sort constraints.
 10112   - Primrec definitions no longer require function name and type
 10113     of recursive argument.
 10114 
 10115 Consider using isatool fixdatatype to adapt your theories and proof
 10116 scripts to the new package (backup your sources first!).
 10117 
 10118 
 10119 * HOL/record package: considerably improved implementation; now
 10120 includes concrete syntax for record types, terms, updates; theorems
 10121 for surjective pairing and splitting !!-bound record variables; proof
 10122 support is as follows:
 10123 
 10124   1) standard conversions (selectors or updates applied to record
 10125 constructor terms) are part of the standard simpset;
 10126 
 10127   2) inject equations of the form ((x, y) = (x', y')) == x=x' & y=y' are
 10128 made part of standard simpset and claset via addIffs;
 10129 
 10130   3) a tactic for record field splitting (record_split_tac) is part of
 10131 the standard claset (addSWrapper);
 10132 
 10133 To get a better idea about these rules you may retrieve them via
 10134 something like 'thms "foo.simps"' or 'thms "foo.iffs"', where "foo" is
 10135 the name of your record type.
 10136 
 10137 The split tactic 3) conceptually simplifies by the following rule:
 10138 
 10139   "(!!x. PROP ?P x) == (!!a b. PROP ?P (a, b))"
 10140 
 10141 Thus any record variable that is bound by meta-all will automatically
 10142 blow up into some record constructor term, consequently the
 10143 simplifications of 1), 2) apply.  Thus force_tac, auto_tac etc. shall
 10144 solve record problems automatically.
 10145 
 10146 
 10147 * reorganized the main HOL image: HOL/Integ and String loaded by
 10148 default; theory Main includes everything;
 10149 
 10150 * automatic simplification of integer sums and comparisons, using cancellation;
 10151 
 10152 * added option_map_eq_Some and not_Some_eq to the default simpset and claset;
 10153 
 10154 * added disj_not1 = "(~P | Q) = (P --> Q)" to the default simpset;
 10155 
 10156 * many new identities for unions, intersections, set difference, etc.;
 10157 
 10158 * expand_if, expand_split, expand_sum_case and expand_nat_case are now
 10159 called split_if, split_split, split_sum_case and split_nat_case (to go
 10160 with add/delsplits);
 10161 
 10162 * HOL/Prod introduces simplification procedure unit_eq_proc rewriting
 10163 (?x::unit) = (); this is made part of the default simpset, which COULD
 10164 MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL under rare circumstances (consider
 10165 'Delsimprocs [unit_eq_proc];' as last resort); also note that
 10166 unit_abs_eta_conv is added in order to counter the effect of
 10167 unit_eq_proc on (%u::unit. f u), replacing it by f rather than by
 10168 %u.f();
 10169 
 10170 * HOL/Fun INCOMPATIBILITY: `inj_onto' is now called `inj_on' (which
 10171 makes more sense);
 10172 
 10173 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 10174   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 10175   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 10176 
 10177 * HOL/Relation INCOMPATIBILITY: renamed the relational operator r^-1
 10178 to 'converse' from 'inverse' (for compatibility with ZF and some
 10179 literature);
 10180 
 10181 * HOL/recdef can now declare non-recursive functions, with {} supplied as
 10182 the well-founded relation;
 10183 
 10184 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: the complement of set A is now written -A instead of
 10185     Compl A.  The "Compl" syntax remains available as input syntax for this
 10186     release ONLY.
 10187 
 10188 * HOL/Update: new theory of function updates:
 10189     f(a:=b) == %x. if x=a then b else f x
 10190 may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 10191 
 10192 * HOL/Vimage: new theory for inverse image of a function, syntax f-``B;
 10193 
 10194 * HOL/List:
 10195   - new function list_update written xs[i:=v] that updates the i-th
 10196     list position. May also be iterated as in xs[i:=a,j:=b,...].
 10197   - new function `upt' written [i..j(] which generates the list
 10198     [i,i+1,...,j-1], i.e. the upper bound is excluded. To include the upper
 10199     bound write [i..j], which is a shorthand for [i..j+1(].
 10200   - new lexicographic orderings and corresponding wellfoundedness theorems.
 10201 
 10202 * HOL/Arith:
 10203   - removed 'pred' (predecessor) function;
 10204   - generalized some theorems about n-1;
 10205   - many new laws about "div" and "mod";
 10206   - new laws about greatest common divisors (see theory ex/Primes);
 10207 
 10208 * HOL/Relation: renamed the relational operator r^-1 "converse"
 10209 instead of "inverse";
 10210 
 10211 * HOL/Induct/Multiset: a theory of multisets, including the wellfoundedness
 10212   of the multiset ordering;
 10213 
 10214 * directory HOL/Real: a construction of the reals using Dedekind cuts
 10215   (not included by default);
 10216 
 10217 * directory HOL/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY formalism;
 10218 
 10219 * directory HOL/Hoare: a new version of Hoare logic which permits many-sorted
 10220   programs, i.e. different program variables may have different types.
 10221 
 10222 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 10223   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 10224   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 10225 
 10226 
 10227 *** ZF ***
 10228 
 10229 * theory Main includes everything; INCOMPATIBILITY: theory ZF.thy contains
 10230   only the theorems proved on ZF.ML;
 10231 
 10232 * ZF INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 10233   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 10234   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 10235 
 10236 * ZF/Update: new theory of function updates
 10237     with default rewrite rule  f(x:=y) ` z = if(z=x, y, f`z)
 10238   may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 10239 
 10240 * in  let x=t in u(x), neither t nor u(x) has to be an FOL term.
 10241 
 10242 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 10243   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 10244   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 10245 
 10246 * case_tac provided for compatibility with HOL
 10247     (like the old excluded_middle_tac, but with subgoals swapped)
 10248 
 10249 
 10250 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
 10251 
 10252 * Pure: several new basic modules made available for general use, see
 10253 also src/Pure/README;
 10254 
 10255 * improved the theory data mechanism to support encapsulation (data
 10256 kind name replaced by private Object.kind, acting as authorization
 10257 key); new type-safe user interface via functor TheoryDataFun; generic
 10258 print_data function becomes basically useless;
 10259 
 10260 * removed global_names compatibility flag -- all theory declarations
 10261 are qualified by default;
 10262 
 10263 * module Pure/Syntax now offers quote / antiquote translation
 10264 functions (useful for Hoare logic etc. with implicit dependencies);
 10265 see HOL/ex/Antiquote for an example use;
 10266 
 10267 * Simplifier now offers conversions (asm_)(full_)rewrite: simpset ->
 10268 cterm -> thm;
 10269 
 10270 * new tactical CHANGED_GOAL for checking that a tactic modifies a
 10271 subgoal;
 10272 
 10273 * Display.print_goals function moved to Locale.print_goals;
 10274 
 10275 * standard print function for goals supports current_goals_markers
 10276 variable for marking begin of proof, end of proof, start of goal; the
 10277 default is ("", "", ""); setting current_goals_markers := ("<proof>",
 10278 "</proof>", "<goal>") causes SGML like tagged proof state printing,
 10279 for example;
 10280 
 10281 
 10282 
 10283 New in Isabelle98 (January 1998)
 10284 --------------------------------
 10285 
 10286 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 10287 
 10288 * changed lexical syntax of terms / types: dots made part of long
 10289 identifiers, e.g. "%x.x" no longer possible, should be "%x. x";
 10290 
 10291 * simpset (and claset) reference variable replaced by functions
 10292 simpset / simpset_ref;
 10293 
 10294 * no longer supports theory aliases (via merge) and non-trivial
 10295 implicit merge of thms' signatures;
 10296 
 10297 * most internal names of constants changed due to qualified names;
 10298 
 10299 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML);
 10300 
 10301 
 10302 *** General Changes ***
 10303 
 10304 * hierachically structured name spaces (for consts, types, axms, thms
 10305 etc.); new lexical class 'longid' (e.g. Foo.bar.x) may render much of
 10306 old input syntactically incorrect (e.g. "%x.x"); COMPATIBILITY:
 10307 isatool fixdots ensures space after dots (e.g. "%x. x"); set
 10308 long_names for fully qualified output names; NOTE: ML programs
 10309 (special tactics, packages etc.) referring to internal names may have
 10310 to be adapted to cope with fully qualified names; in case of severe
 10311 backward campatibility problems try setting 'global_names' at compile
 10312 time to have enrything declared within a flat name space; one may also
 10313 fine tune name declarations in theories via the 'global' and 'local'
 10314 section;
 10315 
 10316 * reimplemented the implicit simpset and claset using the new anytype
 10317 data filed in signatures; references simpset:simpset ref etc. are
 10318 replaced by functions simpset:unit->simpset and
 10319 simpset_ref:unit->simpset ref; COMPATIBILITY: use isatool fixclasimp
 10320 to patch your ML files accordingly;
 10321 
 10322 * HTML output now includes theory graph data for display with Java
 10323 applet or isatool browser; data generated automatically via isatool
 10324 usedir (see -i option, ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS);
 10325 
 10326 * defs may now be conditional; improved rewrite_goals_tac to handle
 10327 conditional equations;
 10328 
 10329 * defs now admits additional type arguments, using TYPE('a) syntax;
 10330 
 10331 * theory aliases via merge (e.g. M=A+B+C) no longer supported, always
 10332 creates a new theory node; implicit merge of thms' signatures is
 10333 restricted to 'trivial' ones; COMPATIBILITY: one may have to use
 10334 transfer:theory->thm->thm in (rare) cases;
 10335 
 10336 * improved handling of draft signatures / theories; draft thms (and
 10337 ctyps, cterms) are automatically promoted to real ones;
 10338 
 10339 * slightly changed interfaces for oracles: admit many per theory, named
 10340 (e.g. oracle foo = mlfun), additional name argument for invoke_oracle;
 10341 
 10342 * print_goals: optional output of const types (set show_consts and
 10343 show_types);
 10344 
 10345 * improved output of warnings (###) and errors (***);
 10346 
 10347 * subgoal_tac displays a warning if the new subgoal has type variables;
 10348 
 10349 * removed old README and Makefiles;
 10350 
 10351 * replaced print_goals_ref hook by print_current_goals_fn and result_error_fn;
 10352 
 10353 * removed obsolete init_pps and init_database;
 10354 
 10355 * deleted the obsolete tactical STATE, which was declared by
 10356     fun STATE tacfun st = tacfun st st;
 10357 
 10358 * cd and use now support path variables, e.g. $ISABELLE_HOME, or ~
 10359 (which abbreviates $HOME);
 10360 
 10361 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML); COMPATIBILITY:
 10362 use isatool fixseq to adapt your ML programs (this works for fully
 10363 qualified references to the Sequence structure only!);
 10364 
 10365 * use_thy no longer requires writable current directory; it always
 10366 reloads .ML *and* .thy file, if either one is out of date;
 10367 
 10368 
 10369 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 10370 
 10371 * Clarify_tac, clarify_tac, clarify_step_tac, Clarify_step_tac: new
 10372 tactics that use classical reasoning to simplify a subgoal without
 10373 splitting it into several subgoals;
 10374 
 10375 * Safe_tac: like safe_tac but uses the default claset;
 10376 
 10377 
 10378 *** Simplifier ***
 10379 
 10380 * added simplification meta rules:
 10381     (asm_)(full_)simplify: simpset -> thm -> thm;
 10382 
 10383 * simplifier.ML no longer part of Pure -- has to be loaded by object
 10384 logics (again);
 10385 
 10386 * added prems argument to simplification procedures;
 10387 
 10388 * HOL, FOL, ZF: added infix function `addsplits':
 10389   instead of `<simpset> setloop (split_tac <thms>)'
 10390   you can simply write `<simpset> addsplits <thms>'
 10391 
 10392 
 10393 *** Syntax ***
 10394 
 10395 * TYPE('a) syntax for type reflection terms;
 10396 
 10397 * no longer handles consts with name "" -- declare as 'syntax' instead;
 10398 
 10399 * pretty printer: changed order of mixfix annotation preference (again!);
 10400 
 10401 * Pure: fixed idt/idts vs. pttrn/pttrns syntactic categories;
 10402 
 10403 
 10404 *** HOL ***
 10405 
 10406 * HOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 10407   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 10408 
 10409 * HOL/TLA: Stephan Merz's formalization of Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions;
 10410 
 10411 * HOL/Auth: new protocol proofs including some for the Internet
 10412   protocol TLS;
 10413 
 10414 * HOL/Map: new theory of `maps' a la VDM;
 10415 
 10416 * HOL/simplifier: simplification procedures nat_cancel_sums for
 10417 cancelling out common nat summands from =, <, <= (in)equalities, or
 10418 differences; simplification procedures nat_cancel_factor for
 10419 cancelling common factor from =, <, <= (in)equalities over natural
 10420 sums; nat_cancel contains both kinds of procedures, it is installed by
 10421 default in Arith.thy -- this COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL;
 10422 
 10423 * HOL/simplifier: terms of the form
 10424   `? x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x)'  (or t=x)
 10425   are rewritten to
 10426   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t)',
 10427   and those of the form
 10428   `! x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x) --> R(x)'  (or t=x)
 10429   are rewritten to
 10430   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t) --> R(t)',
 10431 
 10432 * HOL/datatype
 10433   Each datatype `t' now comes with a theorem `split_t_case' of the form
 10434 
 10435   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 10436      ( (!y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 --> P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) &
 10437         ...
 10438        (!y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn --> P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 10439      )
 10440 
 10441   and a theorem `split_t_case_asm' of the form
 10442 
 10443   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 10444     ~( (? y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 & ~P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) |
 10445         ...
 10446        (? y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn & ~P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 10447      )
 10448   which can be added to a simpset via `addsplits'. The existing theorems
 10449   expand_list_case and expand_option_case have been renamed to
 10450   split_list_case and split_option_case.
 10451 
 10452 * HOL/Arithmetic:
 10453   - `pred n' is automatically converted to `n-1'.
 10454     Users are strongly encouraged not to use `pred' any longer,
 10455     because it will disappear altogether at some point.
 10456   - Users are strongly encouraged to write "0 < n" rather than
 10457     "n ~= 0". Theorems and proof tools have been modified towards this
 10458     `standard'.
 10459 
 10460 * HOL/Lists:
 10461   the function "set_of_list" has been renamed "set" (and its theorems too);
 10462   the function "nth" now takes its arguments in the reverse order and
 10463   has acquired the infix notation "!" as in "xs!n".
 10464 
 10465 * HOL/Set: UNIV is now a constant and is no longer translated to Compl{};
 10466 
 10467 * HOL/Set: The operator (UN x.B x) now abbreviates (UN x:UNIV. B x) and its
 10468   specialist theorems (like UN1_I) are gone.  Similarly for (INT x.B x);
 10469 
 10470 * HOL/record: extensible records with schematic structural subtyping
 10471 (single inheritance); EXPERIMENTAL version demonstrating the encoding,
 10472 still lacks various theorems and concrete record syntax;
 10473 
 10474 
 10475 *** HOLCF ***
 10476 
 10477 * removed "axioms" and "generated by" sections;
 10478 
 10479 * replaced "ops" section by extended "consts" section, which is capable of
 10480   handling the continuous function space "->" directly;
 10481 
 10482 * domain package:
 10483   . proves theorems immediately and stores them in the theory,
 10484   . creates hierachical name space,
 10485   . now uses normal mixfix annotations (instead of cinfix...),
 10486   . minor changes to some names and values (for consistency),
 10487   . e.g. cases -> casedist, dists_eq -> dist_eqs, [take_lemma] -> take_lemmas,
 10488   . separator between mutual domain defs: changed "," to "and",
 10489   . improved handling of sort constraints;  now they have to
 10490     appear on the left-hand side of the equations only;
 10491 
 10492 * fixed LAM <x,y,zs>.b syntax;
 10493 
 10494 * added extended adm_tac to simplifier in HOLCF -- can now discharge
 10495 adm (%x. P (t x)), where P is chainfinite and t continuous;
 10496 
 10497 
 10498 *** FOL and ZF ***
 10499 
 10500 * FOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 10501   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 10502 
 10503 * qed_spec_mp, qed_goal_spec_mp, qed_goalw_spec_mp are available, as
 10504 in HOL, they strip ALL and --> from proved theorems;
 10505 
 10506 
 10507 
 10508 New in Isabelle94-8 (May 1997)
 10509 ------------------------------
 10510 
 10511 *** General Changes ***
 10512 
 10513 * new utilities to build / run / maintain Isabelle etc. (in parts
 10514 still somewhat experimental); old Makefiles etc. still functional;
 10515 
 10516 * new 'Isabelle System Manual';
 10517 
 10518 * INSTALL text, together with ./configure and ./build scripts;
 10519 
 10520 * reimplemented type inference for greater efficiency, better error
 10521 messages and clean internal interface;
 10522 
 10523 * prlim command for dealing with lots of subgoals (an easier way of
 10524 setting goals_limit);
 10525 
 10526 
 10527 *** Syntax ***
 10528 
 10529 * supports alternative (named) syntax tables (parser and pretty
 10530 printer); internal interface is provided by add_modesyntax(_i);
 10531 
 10532 * Pure, FOL, ZF, HOL, HOLCF now support symbolic input and output; to
 10533 be used in conjunction with the Isabelle symbol font; uses the
 10534 "symbols" syntax table;
 10535 
 10536 * added token_translation interface (may translate name tokens in
 10537 arbitrary ways, dependent on their type (free, bound, tfree, ...) and
 10538 the current print_mode); IMPORTANT: user print translation functions
 10539 are responsible for marking newly introduced bounds
 10540 (Syntax.mark_boundT);
 10541 
 10542 * token translations for modes "xterm" and "xterm_color" that display
 10543 names in bold, underline etc. or colors (which requires a color
 10544 version of xterm);
 10545 
 10546 * infixes may now be declared with names independent of their syntax;
 10547 
 10548 * added typed_print_translation (like print_translation, but may
 10549 access type of constant);
 10550 
 10551 
 10552 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 10553 
 10554 Blast_tac: a new tactic!  It is often more powerful than fast_tac, but has
 10555 some limitations.  Blast_tac...
 10556   + ignores addss, addbefore, addafter; this restriction is intrinsic
 10557   + ignores elimination rules that don't have the correct format
 10558         (the conclusion MUST be a formula variable)
 10559   + ignores types, which can make HOL proofs fail
 10560   + rules must not require higher-order unification, e.g. apply_type in ZF
 10561     [message "Function Var's argument not a bound variable" relates to this]
 10562   + its proof strategy is more general but can actually be slower
 10563 
 10564 * substitution with equality assumptions no longer permutes other
 10565 assumptions;
 10566 
 10567 * minor changes in semantics of addafter (now called addaltern); renamed
 10568 setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to compWrapper; added safe wrapper
 10569 (and access functions for it);
 10570 
 10571 * improved combination of classical reasoner and simplifier:
 10572   + functions for handling clasimpsets
 10573   + improvement of addss: now the simplifier is called _after_ the
 10574     safe steps.
 10575   + safe variant of addss called addSss: uses safe simplifications
 10576     _during_ the safe steps. It is more complete as it allows multiple
 10577     instantiations of unknowns (e.g. with slow_tac).
 10578 
 10579 *** Simplifier ***
 10580 
 10581 * added interface for simplification procedures (functions that
 10582 produce *proven* rewrite rules on the fly, depending on current
 10583 redex);
 10584 
 10585 * ordering on terms as parameter (used for ordered rewriting);
 10586 
 10587 * new functions delcongs, deleqcongs, and Delcongs. richer rep_ss;
 10588 
 10589 * the solver is now split into a safe and an unsafe part.
 10590 This should be invisible for the normal user, except that the
 10591 functions setsolver and addsolver have been renamed to setSolver and
 10592 addSolver; added safe_asm_full_simp_tac;
 10593 
 10594 
 10595 *** HOL ***
 10596 
 10597 * a generic induction tactic `induct_tac' which works for all datatypes and
 10598 also for type `nat';
 10599 
 10600 * a generic case distinction tactic `exhaust_tac' which works for all
 10601 datatypes and also for type `nat';
 10602 
 10603 * each datatype comes with a function `size';
 10604 
 10605 * patterns in case expressions allow tuple patterns as arguments to
 10606 constructors, for example `case x of [] => ... | (x,y,z)#ps => ...';
 10607 
 10608 * primrec now also works with type nat;
 10609 
 10610 * recdef: a new declaration form, allows general recursive functions to be
 10611 defined in theory files.  See HOL/ex/Fib, HOL/ex/Primes, HOL/Subst/Unify.
 10612 
 10613 * the constant for negation has been renamed from "not" to "Not" to
 10614 harmonize with FOL, ZF, LK, etc.;
 10615 
 10616 * HOL/ex/LFilter theory of a corecursive "filter" functional for
 10617 infinite lists;
 10618 
 10619 * HOL/Modelcheck demonstrates invocation of model checker oracle;
 10620 
 10621 * HOL/ex/Ring.thy declares cring_simp, which solves equational
 10622 problems in commutative rings, using axiomatic type classes for + and *;
 10623 
 10624 * more examples in HOL/MiniML and HOL/Auth;
 10625 
 10626 * more default rewrite rules for quantifiers, union/intersection;
 10627 
 10628 * a new constant `arbitrary == @x.False';
 10629 
 10630 * HOLCF/IOA replaces old HOL/IOA;
 10631 
 10632 * HOLCF changes: derived all rules and arities
 10633   + axiomatic type classes instead of classes
 10634   + typedef instead of faking type definitions
 10635   + eliminated the internal constants less_fun, less_cfun, UU_fun, UU_cfun etc.
 10636   + new axclasses cpo, chfin, flat with flat < chfin < pcpo < cpo < po
 10637   + eliminated the types void, one, tr
 10638   + use unit lift and bool lift (with translations) instead of one and tr
 10639   + eliminated blift from Lift3.thy (use Def instead of blift)
 10640   all eliminated rules are derived as theorems --> no visible changes ;
 10641 
 10642 
 10643 *** ZF ***
 10644 
 10645 * ZF now has Fast_tac, Simp_tac and Auto_tac.  Union_iff is a now a default
 10646 rewrite rule; this may affect some proofs.  eq_cs is gone but can be put back
 10647 as ZF_cs addSIs [equalityI];
 10648

 10650 
 10651 New in Isabelle94-7 (November 96)
 10652 ---------------------------------
 10653 
 10654 * allowing negative levels (as offsets) in prlev and choplev;
 10655 
 10656 * super-linear speedup for large simplifications;
 10657 
 10658 * FOL, ZF and HOL now use miniscoping: rewriting pushes
 10659 quantifications in as far as possible (COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS
 10660 FAIL); can suppress it using the command Delsimps (ex_simps @
 10661 all_simps); De Morgan laws are also now included, by default;
 10662 
 10663 * improved printing of ==>  :  ~:
 10664 
 10665 * new object-logic "Sequents" adds linear logic, while replacing LK
 10666 and Modal (thanks to Sara Kalvala);
 10667 
 10668 * HOL/Auth: correctness proofs for authentication protocols;
 10669 
 10670 * HOL: new auto_tac combines rewriting and classical reasoning (many
 10671 examples on HOL/Auth);
 10672 
 10673 * HOL: new command AddIffs for declaring theorems of the form P=Q to
 10674 the rewriter and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 10675 
 10676 * function uresult no longer returns theorems in "standard" format;
 10677 regain previous version by: val uresult = standard o uresult;
 10678 
 10679 
 10680 
 10681 New in Isabelle94-6
 10682 -------------------
 10683 
 10684 * oracles -- these establish an interface between Isabelle and trusted
 10685 external reasoners, which may deliver results as theorems;
 10686 
 10687 * proof objects (in particular record all uses of oracles);
 10688 
 10689 * Simp_tac, Fast_tac, etc. that refer to implicit simpset / claset;
 10690 
 10691 * "constdefs" section in theory files;
 10692 
 10693 * "primrec" section (HOL) no longer requires names;
 10694 
 10695 * internal type "tactic" now simply "thm -> thm Sequence.seq";
 10696 
 10697 
 10698 
 10699 New in Isabelle94-5
 10700 -------------------
 10701 
 10702 * reduced space requirements;
 10703 
 10704 * automatic HTML generation from theories;
 10705 
 10706 * theory files no longer require "..." (quotes) around most types;
 10707 
 10708 * new examples, including two proofs of the Church-Rosser theorem;
 10709 
 10710 * non-curried (1994) version of HOL is no longer distributed;
 10711 
 10712 
 10713 
 10714 New in Isabelle94-4
 10715 -------------------
 10716 
 10717 * greatly reduced space requirements;
 10718 
 10719 * theory files (.thy) no longer require \...\ escapes at line breaks;
 10720 
 10721 * searchable theorem database (see the section "Retrieving theorems" on
 10722 page 8 of the Reference Manual);
 10723 
 10724 * new examples, including Grabczewski's monumental case study of the
 10725 Axiom of Choice;
 10726 
 10727 * The previous version of HOL renamed to Old_HOL;
 10728 
 10729 * The new version of HOL (previously called CHOL) uses a curried syntax
 10730 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b);
 10731 
 10732 * Mutually recursive inductive definitions finally work in HOL;
 10733 
 10734 * In ZF, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions and
 10735 translates to the operator "split";
 10736 
 10737 
 10738 
 10739 New in Isabelle94-3
 10740 -------------------
 10741 
 10742 * new infix operator, addss, allowing the classical reasoner to
 10743 perform simplification at each step of its search.  Example:
 10744         fast_tac (cs addss ss)
 10745 
 10746 * a new logic, CHOL, the same as HOL, but with a curried syntax
 10747 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b).  Also pairs
 10748 look like (a,b) instead of <a,b>;
 10749 
 10750 * PLEASE NOTE: CHOL will eventually replace HOL!
 10751 
 10752 * In CHOL, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions.
 10753 It translates to the operator "split".  A new theory of integers is available;
 10754 
 10755 * In ZF, integer numerals now denote two's-complement binary integers.
 10756 Arithmetic operations can be performed by rewriting.  See ZF/ex/Bin.ML;
 10757 
 10758 * Many new examples: I/O automata, Church-Rosser theorem, equivalents
 10759 of the Axiom of Choice;
 10760 
 10761 
 10762 
 10763 New in Isabelle94-2
 10764 -------------------
 10765 
 10766 * Significantly faster resolution;
 10767 
 10768 * the different sections in a .thy file can now be mixed and repeated
 10769 freely;
 10770 
 10771 * Database of theorems for FOL, HOL and ZF.  New
 10772 commands including qed, qed_goal and bind_thm store theorems in the database.
 10773 
 10774 * Simple database queries: return a named theorem (get_thm) or all theorems of
 10775 a given theory (thms_of), or find out what theory a theorem was proved in
 10776 (theory_of_thm);
 10777 
 10778 * Bugs fixed in the inductive definition and datatype packages;
 10779 
 10780 * The classical reasoner provides deepen_tac and depth_tac, making FOL_dup_cs
 10781 and HOL_dup_cs obsolete;
 10782 
 10783 * Syntactic ambiguities caused by the new treatment of syntax in Isabelle94-1
 10784 have been removed;
 10785 
 10786 * Simpler definition of function space in ZF;
 10787 
 10788 * new results about cardinal and ordinal arithmetic in ZF;
 10789 
 10790 * 'subtype' facility in HOL for introducing new types as subsets of existing
 10791 types;
