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

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

   576   - When devising rule sets for number calculation, consider the
   577     following canonical cases: 0, 1, numeral _, - 1, - numeral _.
   578   - HOLogic.dest_number also recognizes numerals in non-canonical forms

   632 To restore proofs, the following patterns are helpful:

   634 a) Arbitrary failing proof not involving "diff_def":
   635 Consider simplification with algebra_simps or field_simps.
   636 
   637 b) Lifting rules from addition to subtraction:
   638 Try with "using <rule for addition> of [... "- _" ...]" by simp".
   639 
   640 c) Simplification with "diff_def": just drop "diff_def".
   641 Consider simplification with algebra_simps or field_simps;
   642 or the brute way with
   643 "simp add: diff_conv_add_uminus del: add_uminus_conv_diff".
   644 
   645 * Introduce bdd_above and bdd_below in theory
   646 Conditionally_Complete_Lattices, use them instead of explicitly
   647 stating boundedness of sets.
   648 
   649 * ccpo.admissible quantifies only over non-empty chains to allow more

   684 
   685   - removed constant isDiff

   687   - "DERIV f x : f'" and "FDERIV f x : f'" syntax is only available as
   688     input syntax.
   689 
   690   - "DERIV f x : s : f'" and "FDERIV f x : s : f'" syntax removed.

   695 
   696   - removed DERIV_intros, has_derivative_eq_intros
   697 
   698   - introduced derivative_intros and deriative_eq_intros which

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

   794   - Changed order of ordered_euclidean_space to be compatible with
   795     pointwise ordering on products. Therefore instance of
   796     conditionally_complete_lattice and ordered_real_vector.
   797     INCOMPATIBILITY: use box instead of greaterThanLessThan or
   798     explicit set-comprehensions with eucl_less for other (half-)open
   799     intervals.
   800   - removed dependencies on type class ordered_euclidean_space with
   801     introduction of "cbox" on euclidean_space
   802     - renamed theorems:

   860 
   861 * HOL-Probability:
   862   - Renamed positive_integral to nn_integral:
   863 
   864     . Renamed all lemmas "*positive_integral*" to *nn_integral*"
   865       positive_integral_positive ~> nn_integral_nonneg
   866 
   867     . Renamed abbreviation integral\<^sup>P to integral\<^sup>N.
   868 
   869   - replaced the Lebesgue integral on real numbers by the more general
   870     Bochner integral for functions into a real-normed vector space.

   925     lebesgue_integral_cmult

   927     lebesgue_integral_cmult_nonneg
   928     integral_cmul_indicator
   929     integral_real
   930 
   931   - Formalized properties about exponentially, Erlang, and normal
   932     distributed random variables.
   933 
   934 * HOL-Decision_Procs: Separate command 'approximate' for approximative
   935 computation in src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation.  Minor
   936 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   937 
   938 
   939 *** Scala ***
   940 
   941 * The signature and semantics of Document.Snapshot.cumulate_markup /
   942 select_markup have been clarified.  Markup is now traversed in the
   943 order of reports given by the prover: later markup is usually more
   944 specific and may override results accumulated so far.  The elements
   945 guard is mandatory and checked precisely.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
   946 
   947 * Substantial reworking of internal PIDE protocol communication
   948 channels.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   949 
   950 
   951 *** ML ***
   952 
   953 * Subtle change of semantics of Thm.eq_thm: theory stamps are not
   954 compared (according to Thm.thm_ord), but assumed to be covered by the
   955 current background theory.  Thus equivalent data produced in different
   956 branches of the theory graph usually coincides (e.g. relevant for
   957 theory merge).  Note that the softer Thm.eq_thm_prop is often more
   958 appropriate than Thm.eq_thm.
   959 
   960 * Proper context for basic Simplifier operations: rewrite_rule,
   961 rewrite_goals_rule, rewrite_goals_tac etc. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to
   962 pass runtime Proof.context (and ensure that the simplified entity
   963 actually belongs to it).
   964 
   965 * Proper context discipline for read_instantiate and instantiate_tac:
   966 variables that are meant to become schematic need to be given as
   967 fixed, and are generalized by the explicit context of local variables.
   968 This corresponds to Isar attributes "where" and "of" with 'for'
   969 declaration.  INCOMPATIBILITY, also due to potential change of indices
   970 of schematic variables.
   971 
   972 * Moved ML_Compiler.exn_trace and other operations on exceptions to
   973 structure Runtime.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   974 
   975 * Discontinued old Toplevel.debug in favour of system option
   976 "ML_exception_trace", which may be also declared within the context
   977 via "declare [[ML_exception_trace = true]]".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   978 
   979 * Renamed configuration option "ML_trace" to "ML_source_trace". Minor
   980 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   981 
   982 * Configuration option "ML_print_depth" controls the pretty-printing
   983 depth of the ML compiler within the context.  The old print_depth in
   984 ML is still available as default_print_depth, but rarely used.  Minor
   985 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   986 
   987 * Toplevel function "use" refers to raw ML bootstrap environment,
   988 without Isar context nor antiquotations.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
   989 Note that 'ML_file' is the canonical command to load ML files into the
   990 formal context.
   991 
   992 * Simplified programming interface to define ML antiquotations, see
   993 structure ML_Antiquotation.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   994 
   995 * ML antiquotation @{here} refers to its source position, which is
   996 occasionally useful for experimentation and diagnostic purposes.
   997 
   998 * ML antiquotation @{path} produces a Path.T value, similarly to
   999 Path.explode, but with compile-time check against the file-system and
  1000 some PIDE markup.  Note that unlike theory source, ML does not have a
  1001 well-defined master directory, so an absolute symbolic path
  1002 specification is usually required, e.g. "~~/src/HOL".
  1003 
  1004 * ML antiquotation @{print} inlines a function to print an arbitrary
  1005 ML value, which is occasionally useful for diagnostic or demonstration
  1006 purposes.
  1007 
  1008 
  1009 *** System ***
  1010 
  1011 * Proof General with its traditional helper scripts is now an optional
  1012 Isabelle component, e.g. see ProofGeneral-4.2-2 from the Isabelle
  1013 component repository http://isabelle.in.tum.de/components/.  Note that
  1014 the "system" manual provides general explanations about add-on
  1015 components, especially those that are not bundled with the release.
  1016 
  1017 * The raw Isabelle process executable has been renamed from
  1018 "isabelle-process" to "isabelle_process", which conforms to common
  1019 shell naming conventions, and allows to define a shell function within
  1020 the Isabelle environment to avoid dynamic path lookup.  Rare
  1021 incompatibility for old tools that do not use the ISABELLE_PROCESS
  1022 settings variable.
  1023 
  1024 * Former "isabelle tty" has been superseded by "isabelle console",
  1025 with implicit build like "isabelle jedit", and without the mostly
  1026 obsolete Isar TTY loop.
  1027 
  1028 * Simplified "isabelle display" tool.  Settings variables DVI_VIEWER
  1029 and PDF_VIEWER now refer to the actual programs, not shell
  1030 command-lines.  Discontinued option -c: invocation may be asynchronous
  1031 via desktop environment, without any special precautions.  Potential
  1032 INCOMPATIBILITY with ambitious private settings.
  1033 
  1034 * Removed obsolete "isabelle unsymbolize".  Note that the usual format
  1035 for email communication is the Unicode rendering of Isabelle symbols,
  1036 as produced by Isabelle/jEdit, for example.
  1037 
  1038 * Removed obsolete tool "wwwfind". Similar functionality may be
  1039 integrated into Isabelle/jEdit eventually.
  1040 
  1041 * Improved 'display_drafts' concerning desktop integration and
  1042 repeated invocation in PIDE front-end: re-use single file
  1043 $ISABELLE_HOME_USER/tmp/drafts.pdf and corresponding views.
  1044 
  1045 * Session ROOT specifications require explicit 'document_files' for
  1046 robust dependencies on LaTeX sources.  Only these explicitly given
  1047 files are copied to the document output directory, before document
  1048 processing is started.
  1049 
  1050 * Windows: support for regular TeX installation (e.g. MiKTeX) instead
  1051 of TeX Live from Cygwin.
  1052 
  1053 
  1054 
  1055 New in Isabelle2013-2 (December 2013)
  1056 -------------------------------------
  1057 
  1058 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
  1059 
  1060 * More robust editing of running commands with internal forks,
  1061 e.g. non-terminating 'by' steps.
  1062 
  1063 * More relaxed Sledgehammer panel: avoid repeated application of query
  1064 after edits surrounding the command location.
  1065 
  1066 * More status information about commands that are interrupted
  1067 accidentally (via physical event or Poly/ML runtime system signal,
  1068 e.g. out-of-memory).
  1069 
  1070 
  1071 *** System ***
  1072 
  1073 * More robust termination of external processes managed by
  1074 Isabelle/ML: support cancellation of tasks within the range of
  1075 milliseconds, as required for PIDE document editing with automatically
  1076 tried tools (e.g. Sledgehammer).
  1077 
  1078 * Reactivated Isabelle/Scala kill command for external processes on
  1079 Mac OS X, which was accidentally broken in Isabelle2013-1 due to a
  1080 workaround for some Debian/Ubuntu Linux versions from 2013.
  1081 
  1082 
  1083 
  1084 New in Isabelle2013-1 (November 2013)
  1085 -------------------------------------
  1086 
  1087 *** General ***
  1088 
  1089 * Discontinued obsolete 'uses' within theory header.  Note that
  1090 commands like 'ML_file' work without separate declaration of file
  1091 dependencies.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1092 
  1093 * Discontinued redundant 'use' command, which was superseded by
  1094 'ML_file' in Isabelle2013.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1095 
  1096 * Simplified subscripts within identifiers, using plain \<^sub>
  1097 instead of the second copy \<^isub> and \<^isup>.  Superscripts are
  1098 only for literal tokens within notation; explicit mixfix annotations
  1099 for consts or fixed variables may be used as fall-back for unusual
  1100 names.  Obsolete \<twosuperior> has been expanded to \<^sup>2 in
  1101 Isabelle/HOL.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "isabelle update_sub_sup" to
  1102 standardize symbols as a starting point for further manual cleanup.
  1103 The ML reference variable "legacy_isub_isup" may be set as temporary
  1104 workaround, to make the prover accept a subset of the old identifier
  1105 syntax.
  1106 
  1107 * Document antiquotations: term style "isub" has been renamed to
  1108 "sub".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1109 
  1110 * Uniform management of "quick_and_dirty" as system option (see also
  1111 "isabelle options"), configuration option within the context (see also
  1112 Config.get in Isabelle/ML), and attribute in Isabelle/Isar.  Minor
  1113 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use more official Isabelle means to access
  1114 quick_and_dirty, instead of historical poking into mutable reference.
  1115 
  1116 * Renamed command 'print_configs' to 'print_options'.  Minor
  1117 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1118 
  1119 * Proper diagnostic command 'print_state'.  Old 'pr' (with its
  1120 implicit change of some global references) is retained for now as
  1121 control command, e.g. for ProofGeneral 3.7.x.
  1122 
  1123 * Discontinued 'print_drafts' command with its old-fashioned PS output
  1124 and Unix command-line print spooling.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: use
  1125 'display_drafts' instead and print via the regular document viewer.
  1126 
  1127 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual,
  1128 eliminated old "ref" manual.
  1129 
  1130 
  1131 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
  1132 
  1133 * New manual "jedit" for Isabelle/jEdit, see isabelle doc or
  1134 Documentation panel.
  1135 
  1136 * Dockable window "Documentation" provides access to Isabelle
  1137 documentation.
  1138 
  1139 * Dockable window "Find" provides query operations for formal entities
  1140 (GUI front-end to 'find_theorems' command).
  1141 
  1142 * Dockable window "Sledgehammer" manages asynchronous / parallel
  1143 sledgehammer runs over existing document sources, independently of
  1144 normal editing and checking process.
  1145 
  1146 * Dockable window "Timing" provides an overview of relevant command
  1147 timing information, depending on option jedit_timing_threshold.  The
  1148 same timing information is shown in the extended tooltip of the
  1149 command keyword, when hovering the mouse over it while the CONTROL or
  1150 COMMAND modifier is pressed.
  1151 
  1152 * Improved dockable window "Theories": Continuous checking of proof
  1153 document (visible and required parts) may be controlled explicitly,
  1154 using check box or shortcut "C+e ENTER".  Individual theory nodes may
  1155 be marked explicitly as required and checked in full, using check box
  1156 or shortcut "C+e SPACE".
  1157 
  1158 * Improved completion mechanism, which is now managed by the
  1159 Isabelle/jEdit plugin instead of SideKick.  Refined table of Isabelle
  1160 symbol abbreviations (see $ISABELLE_HOME/etc/symbols).
  1161 
  1162 * Standard jEdit keyboard shortcut C+b complete-word is remapped to
  1163 isabelle.complete for explicit completion in Isabelle sources.
  1164 INCOMPATIBILITY wrt. jEdit defaults, may have to invent new shortcuts
  1165 to resolve conflict.
  1166 
  1167 * Improved support of various "minor modes" for Isabelle NEWS,
  1168 options, session ROOT etc., with completion and SideKick tree view.
  1169 
  1170 * Strictly monotonic document update, without premature cancellation of
  1171 running transactions that are still needed: avoid reset/restart of
  1172 such command executions while editing.
  1173 
  1174 * Support for asynchronous print functions, as overlay to existing
  1175 document content.
  1176 
  1177 * Support for automatic tools in HOL, which try to prove or disprove
  1178 toplevel theorem statements.
  1179 
  1180 * Action isabelle.reset-font-size resets main text area font size
  1181 according to Isabelle/Scala plugin option "jedit_font_reset_size" (see
  1182 also "Plugin Options / Isabelle / General").  It can be bound to some
  1183 keyboard shortcut by the user (e.g. C+0 and/or C+NUMPAD0).
  1184 
  1185 * File specifications in jEdit (e.g. file browser) may refer to
  1186 $ISABELLE_HOME and $ISABELLE_HOME_USER on all platforms.  Discontinued
  1187 obsolete $ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS variable.
  1188 
  1189 * Improved support for Linux look-and-feel "GTK+", see also "Utilities
  1190 / Global Options / Appearance".
  1191 
  1192 * Improved support of native Mac OS X functionality via "MacOSX"
  1193 plugin, which is now enabled by default.
  1194 
  1195 
  1196 *** Pure ***
  1197 
  1198 * Commands 'interpretation' and 'sublocale' are now target-sensitive.
  1199 In particular, 'interpretation' allows for non-persistent
  1200 interpretation within "context ... begin ... end" blocks offering a
  1201 light-weight alternative to 'sublocale'.  See "isar-ref" manual for
  1202 details.
  1203 
  1204 * Improved locales diagnostic command 'print_dependencies'.
  1205 
  1206 * Discontinued obsolete 'axioms' command, which has been marked as
  1207 legacy since Isabelle2009-2.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use 'axiomatization'
  1208 instead, while observing its uniform scope for polymorphism.
  1209 
  1210 * Discontinued empty name bindings in 'axiomatization'.
  1211 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1212 
  1213 * System option "proofs" has been discontinued.  Instead the global
  1214 state of Proofterm.proofs is persistently compiled into logic images
  1215 as required, notably HOL-Proofs.  Users no longer need to change
  1216 Proofterm.proofs dynamically.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1217 
  1218 * Syntax translation functions (print_translation etc.) always depend
  1219 on Proof.context.  Discontinued former "(advanced)" option -- this is
  1220 now the default.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1221 
  1222 * Former global reference trace_unify_fail is now available as
  1223 configuration option "unify_trace_failure" (global context only).
  1224 
  1225 * SELECT_GOAL now retains the syntactic context of the overall goal
  1226 state (schematic variables etc.).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare
  1227 situations.
  1228 
  1229 
  1230 *** HOL ***
  1231 
  1232 * Stronger precedence of syntax for big intersection and union on
  1233 sets, in accordance with corresponding lattice operations.
  1234 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1235 
  1236 * Notation "{p:A. P}" now allows tuple patterns as well.
  1237 
  1238 * Nested case expressions are now translated in a separate check phase
  1239 rather than during parsing. The data for case combinators is separated
  1240 from the datatype package. The declaration attribute
  1241 "case_translation" can be used to register new case combinators:
  1242 
  1243   declare [[case_translation case_combinator constructor1 ... constructorN]]
  1244 
  1245 * Code generator:
  1246   - 'code_printing' unifies 'code_const' / 'code_type' / 'code_class' /
  1247     'code_instance'.
  1248   - 'code_identifier' declares name hints for arbitrary identifiers in
  1249     generated code, subsuming 'code_modulename'.
  1250 
  1251 See the isar-ref manual for syntax diagrams, and the HOL theories for
  1252 examples.
  1253 
  1254 * Attibute 'code': 'code' now declares concrete and abstract code
  1255 equations uniformly.  Use explicit 'code equation' and 'code abstract'
  1256 to distinguish both when desired.
  1257 
  1258 * Discontinued theories Code_Integer and Efficient_Nat by a more
  1259 fine-grain stack of theories Code_Target_Int, Code_Binary_Nat,
  1260 Code_Target_Nat and Code_Target_Numeral.  See the tutorial on code
  1261 generation for details.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1262 
  1263 * Numeric types are mapped by default to target language numerals:
  1264 natural (replaces former code_numeral) and integer (replaces former
  1265 code_int).  Conversions are available as integer_of_natural /
  1266 natural_of_integer / integer_of_nat / nat_of_integer (in HOL) and
  1267 Code_Numeral.integer_of_natural / Code_Numeral.natural_of_integer (in
  1268 ML).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1269 
  1270 * Function package: For mutually recursive functions f and g, separate
  1271 cases rules f.cases and g.cases are generated instead of unusable
  1272 f_g.cases which exposed internal sum types. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
  1273 in the case that the unusable rule was used nevertheless.
  1274 
  1275 * Function package: For each function f, new rules f.elims are
  1276 generated, which eliminate equalities of the form "f x = t".
  1277 
  1278 * New command 'fun_cases' derives ad-hoc elimination rules for
  1279 function equations as simplified instances of f.elims, analogous to
  1280 inductive_cases.  See ~~/src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy for some examples.
  1281 
  1282 * Lifting:
  1283   - parametrized correspondence relations are now supported:
  1284     + parametricity theorems for the raw term can be specified in
  1285       the command lift_definition, which allow us to generate stronger
  1286       transfer rules
  1287     + setup_lifting generates stronger transfer rules if parametric
  1288       correspondence relation can be generated
  1289     + various new properties of the relator must be specified to support
  1290       parametricity
  1291     + parametricity theorem for the Quotient relation can be specified
  1292   - setup_lifting generates domain rules for the Transfer package
  1293   - stronger reflexivity prover of respectfulness theorems for type
  1294     copies
  1295   - ===> and --> are now local. The symbols can be introduced
  1296     by interpreting the locale lifting_syntax (typically in an
  1297     anonymous context)
  1298   - Lifting/Transfer relevant parts of Library/Quotient_* are now in
  1299     Main. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  1300   - new commands for restoring and deleting Lifting/Transfer context:
  1301     lifting_forget, lifting_update
  1302   - the command print_quotmaps was renamed to print_quot_maps.
  1303     INCOMPATIBILITY
  1304 
  1305 * Transfer:
  1306   - better support for domains in Transfer: replace Domainp T
  1307     by the actual invariant in a transferred goal
  1308   - transfer rules can have as assumptions other transfer rules
  1309   - Experimental support for transferring from the raw level to the
  1310     abstract level: Transfer.transferred attribute
  1311   - Attribute version of the transfer method: untransferred attribute
  1312 
  1313 * Reification and reflection:
  1314   - Reification is now directly available in HOL-Main in structure
  1315     "Reification".
  1316   - Reflection now handles multiple lists with variables also.
  1317   - The whole reflection stack has been decomposed into conversions.
  1318 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1319 
  1320 * Revised devices for recursive definitions over finite sets:
  1321   - Only one fundamental fold combinator on finite set remains:
  1322     Finite_Set.fold :: ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  1323     This is now identity on infinite sets.
  1324   - Locales ("mini packages") for fundamental definitions with
  1325     Finite_Set.fold: folding, folding_idem.
  1326   - Locales comm_monoid_set, semilattice_order_set and
  1327     semilattice_neutr_order_set for big operators on sets.
  1328     See theory Big_Operators for canonical examples.
  1329     Note that foundational constants comm_monoid_set.F and
  1330     semilattice_set.F correspond to former combinators fold_image
  1331     and fold1 respectively.  These are now gone.  You may use
  1332     those foundational constants as substitutes, but it is
  1333     preferable to interpret the above locales accordingly.
  1334   - Dropped class ab_semigroup_idem_mult (special case of lattice,
  1335     no longer needed in connection with Finite_Set.fold etc.)
  1336   - Fact renames:
  1337       card.union_inter ~> card_Un_Int [symmetric]
  1338       card.union_disjoint ~> card_Un_disjoint
  1339 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1340 
  1341 * Locale hierarchy for abstract orderings and (semi)lattices.
  1342 
  1343 * Complete_Partial_Order.admissible is defined outside the type class
  1344 ccpo, but with mandatory prefix ccpo. Admissibility theorems lose the
  1345 class predicate assumption or sort constraint when possible.
  1346 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1347 
  1348 * Introduce type class "conditionally_complete_lattice": Like a
  1349 complete lattice but does not assume the existence of the top and
  1350 bottom elements.  Allows to generalize some lemmas about reals and
  1351 extended reals.  Removed SupInf and replaced it by the instantiation
  1352 of conditionally_complete_lattice for real. Renamed lemmas about
  1353 conditionally-complete lattice from Sup_... to cSup_... and from
  1354 Inf_...  to cInf_... to avoid hidding of similar complete lattice
  1355 lemmas.
  1356 
  1357 * Introduce type class linear_continuum as combination of
  1358 conditionally-complete lattices and inner dense linorders which have
  1359 more than one element.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1360 
  1361 * Introduced type classes order_top and order_bot. The old classes top
  1362 and bot only contain the syntax without assumptions.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  1363 Rename bot -> order_bot, top -> order_top
  1364 
  1365 * Introduce type classes "no_top" and "no_bot" for orderings without
  1366 top and bottom elements.
  1367 
  1368 * Split dense_linorder into inner_dense_order and no_top, no_bot.
  1369 
  1370 * Complex_Main: Unify and move various concepts from
  1371 HOL-Multivariate_Analysis to HOL-Complex_Main.
  1372 
  1373  - Introduce type class (lin)order_topology and
  1374    linear_continuum_topology.  Allows to generalize theorems about
  1375    limits and order.  Instances are reals and extended reals.
  1376 
  1377  - continuous and continuos_on from Multivariate_Analysis:
  1378    "continuous" is the continuity of a function at a filter.  "isCont"
  1379    is now an abbrevitation: "isCont x f == continuous (at _) f".
  1380 
  1381    Generalized continuity lemmas from isCont to continuous on an
  1382    arbitrary filter.
  1383 
  1384  - compact from Multivariate_Analysis. Use Bolzano's lemma to prove
  1385    compactness of closed intervals on reals. Continuous functions
  1386    attain infimum and supremum on compact sets. The inverse of a
  1387    continuous function is continuous, when the function is continuous
  1388    on a compact set.
  1389 
  1390  - connected from Multivariate_Analysis. Use it to prove the
  1391    intermediate value theorem. Show connectedness of intervals on
  1392    linear_continuum_topology).
  1393 
  1394  - first_countable_topology from Multivariate_Analysis. Is used to
  1395    show equivalence of properties on the neighbourhood filter of x and
  1396    on all sequences converging to x.
  1397 
  1398  - FDERIV: Definition of has_derivative moved to Deriv.thy. Moved
  1399    theorems from Library/FDERIV.thy to Deriv.thy and base the
  1400    definition of DERIV on FDERIV. Add variants of DERIV and FDERIV
  1401    which are restricted to sets, i.e. to represent derivatives from
  1402    left or right.
  1403 
  1404  - Removed the within-filter. It is replaced by the principal filter:
  1405 
  1406      F within X = inf F (principal X)
  1407 
  1408  - Introduce "at x within U" as a single constant, "at x" is now an
  1409    abbreviation for "at x within UNIV"
  1410 
  1411  - Introduce named theorem collections tendsto_intros,
  1412    continuous_intros, continuous_on_intros and FDERIV_intros. Theorems
  1413    in tendsto_intros (or FDERIV_intros) are also available as
  1414    tendsto_eq_intros (or FDERIV_eq_intros) where the right-hand side
  1415    is replaced by a congruence rule. This allows to apply them as
  1416    intro rules and then proving equivalence by the simplifier.
  1417 
  1418  - Restructured theories in HOL-Complex_Main:
  1419 
  1420    + Moved RealDef and RComplete into Real
  1421 
  1422    + Introduced Topological_Spaces and moved theorems about
  1423      topological spaces, filters, limits and continuity to it
  1424 
  1425    + Renamed RealVector to Real_Vector_Spaces
  1426 
  1427    + Split Lim, SEQ, Series into Topological_Spaces,
  1428      Real_Vector_Spaces, and Limits
  1429 
  1430    + Moved Ln and Log to Transcendental
  1431 
  1432    + Moved theorems about continuity from Deriv to Topological_Spaces
  1433 
  1434  - Remove various auxiliary lemmas.
  1435 
  1436 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1437 
  1438 * Nitpick:
  1439   - Added option "spy".
  1440   - Reduce incidence of "too high arity" errors.
  1441 
  1442 * Sledgehammer:
  1443   - Renamed option:
  1444       isar_shrink ~> isar_compress
  1445     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1446   - Added options "isar_try0", "spy".
  1447   - Better support for "isar_proofs".
  1448   - MaSh has been fined-tuned and now runs as a local server.
  1449 
  1450 * Improved support for ad hoc overloading of constants (see also
  1451 isar-ref manual and ~~/src/HOL/ex/Adhoc_Overloading_Examples.thy).
  1452 
  1453 * Library/Polynomial.thy:
  1454   - Use lifting for primitive definitions.
  1455   - Explicit conversions from and to lists of coefficients, used for
  1456     generated code.
  1457   - Replaced recursion operator poly_rec by fold_coeffs.
  1458   - Prefer pre-existing gcd operation for gcd.
  1459   - Fact renames:
  1460     poly_eq_iff ~> poly_eq_poly_eq_iff
  1461     poly_ext ~> poly_eqI
  1462     expand_poly_eq ~> poly_eq_iff
  1463 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
  1464 
  1465 * New Library/Simps_Case_Conv.thy: Provides commands simps_of_case and
  1466 case_of_simps to convert function definitions between a list of
  1467 equations with patterns on the lhs and a single equation with case
  1468 expressions on the rhs. See also Ex/Simps_Case_Conv_Examples.thy.
  1469 
  1470 * New Library/FSet.thy: type of finite sets defined as a subtype of
  1471 sets defined by Lifting/Transfer.
  1472 
  1473 * Discontinued theory src/HOL/Library/Eval_Witness.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1474 
  1475 * Consolidation of library theories on product orders:
  1476 
  1477     Product_Lattice ~> Product_Order -- pointwise order on products
  1478     Product_ord ~> Product_Lexorder -- lexicographic order on products
  1479 
  1480 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1481 
  1482 * Imperative-HOL: The MREC combinator is considered legacy and no
  1483 longer included by default. INCOMPATIBILITY, use partial_function
  1484 instead, or import theory Legacy_Mrec as a fallback.
  1485 
  1486 * HOL-Algebra: Discontinued theories ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/abstract and
  1487 ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/poly.  Existing theories should be based on
  1488 ~~/src/HOL/Library/Polynomial instead.  The latter provides
  1489 integration with HOL's type classes for rings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1490 
  1491 * HOL-BNF:
  1492   - Various improvements to BNF-based (co)datatype package, including
  1493     new commands "primrec_new", "primcorec", and
  1494     "datatype_new_compat", as well as documentation. See
  1495     "datatypes.pdf" for details.
  1496   - New "coinduction" method to avoid some boilerplate (compared to
  1497     coinduct).
  1498   - Renamed keywords:
  1499     data ~> datatype_new
  1500     codata ~> codatatype
  1501     bnf_def ~> bnf
  1502   - Renamed many generated theorems, including
  1503     discs ~> disc
  1504     map_comp' ~> map_comp
  1505     map_id' ~> map_id
  1506     sels ~> sel
  1507     set_map' ~> set_map
  1508     sets ~> set
  1509 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
  1510 
  1511 
  1512 *** ML ***
  1513 
  1514 * Spec_Check is a Quickcheck tool for Isabelle/ML.  The ML function
  1515 "check_property" allows to check specifications of the form "ALL x y
  1516 z. prop x y z".  See also ~~/src/Tools/Spec_Check/ with its
  1517 Examples.thy in particular.
  1518 
  1519 * Improved printing of exception trace in Poly/ML 5.5.1, with regular
  1520 tracing output in the command transaction context instead of physical
  1521 stdout.  See also Toplevel.debug, Toplevel.debugging and
  1522 ML_Compiler.exn_trace.
  1523 
  1524 * ML type "theory" is now immutable, without any special treatment of
  1525 drafts or linear updates (which could lead to "stale theory" errors in
  1526 the past).  Discontinued obsolete operations like Theory.copy,
  1527 Theory.checkpoint, and the auxiliary type theory_ref.  Minor
  1528 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1529 
  1530 * More uniform naming of goal functions for skipped proofs:
  1531 
  1532     Skip_Proof.prove  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry
  1533     Skip_Proof.prove_global  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry_global
  1534 
  1535 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1536 
  1537 * Simplifier tactics and tools use proper Proof.context instead of
  1538 historic type simpset.  Old-style declarations like addsimps,
  1539 addsimprocs etc. operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type simpset
  1540 retains its use as snapshot of the main Simplifier context, using
  1541 simpset_of and put_simpset on Proof.context.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- port
  1542 old tools by making them depend on (ctxt : Proof.context) instead of
  1543 (ss : simpset), then turn (simpset_of ctxt) into ctxt.
  1544 
  1545 * Modifiers for classical wrappers (e.g. addWrapper, delWrapper)
  1546 operate on Proof.context instead of claset, for uniformity with addIs,
  1547 addEs, addDs etc. Note that claset_of and put_claset allow to manage
  1548 clasets separately from the context.
  1549 
  1550 * Discontinued obsolete ML antiquotations @{claset} and @{simpset}.
  1551 INCOMPATIBILITY, use @{context} instead.
  1552 
  1553 * Antiquotation @{theory_context A} is similar to @{theory A}, but
  1554 presents the result as initial Proof.context.
  1555 
  1556 
  1557 *** System ***
  1558 
  1559 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle usedir, mkdir, make -- superseded by
  1560 "isabelle build" in Isabelle2013.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1561 
  1562 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle-process options -f and -u (former
  1563 administrative aliases of option -e).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1564 
  1565 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle print tool, and PRINT_COMMAND
  1566 settings variable.
  1567 
  1568 * Discontinued ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT settings variable and historic
  1569 document formats: dvi.gz, ps, ps.gz -- the default document format is
  1570 always pdf.
  1571 
  1572 * Isabelle settings variable ISABELLE_BUILD_JAVA_OPTIONS allows to
  1573 specify global resources of the JVM process run by isabelle build.
  1574 
  1575 * Toplevel executable $ISABELLE_HOME/bin/isabelle_scala_script allows
  1576 to run Isabelle/Scala source files as standalone programs.
  1577 
  1578 * Improved "isabelle keywords" tool (for old-style ProofGeneral
  1579 keyword tables): use Isabelle/Scala operations, which inspect outer
  1580 syntax without requiring to build sessions first.
  1581 
  1582 * Sessions may be organized via 'chapter' specifications in the ROOT
  1583 file, which determines a two-level hierarchy of browser info.  The old
  1584 tree-like organization via implicit sub-session relation (with its
  1585 tendency towards erratic fluctuation of URLs) has been discontinued.
  1586 The default chapter is called "Unsorted".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  1587 for HTML presentation of theories.
  1588 
  1589 
  1590 
  1591 New in Isabelle2013 (February 2013)
  1592 -----------------------------------
  1593 
  1594 *** General ***
  1595 
  1596 * Theorem status about oracles and unfinished/failed future proofs is
  1597 no longer printed by default, since it is incompatible with
  1598 incremental / parallel checking of the persistent document model.  ML
  1599 function Thm.peek_status may be used to inspect a snapshot of the
  1600 ongoing evaluation process.  Note that in batch mode --- notably
  1601 isabelle build --- the system ensures that future proofs of all
  1602 accessible theorems in the theory context are finished (as before).
  1603 
  1604 * Configuration option show_markup controls direct inlining of markup
  1605 into the printed representation of formal entities --- notably type
  1606 and sort constraints.  This enables Prover IDE users to retrieve that
  1607 information via tooltips in the output window, for example.
  1608 
  1609 * Command 'ML_file' evaluates ML text from a file directly within the
  1610 theory, without any predeclaration via 'uses' in the theory header.
  1611 
  1612 * Old command 'use' command and corresponding keyword 'uses' in the
  1613 theory header are legacy features and will be discontinued soon.
  1614 Tools that load their additional source files may imitate the
  1615 'ML_file' implementation, such that the system can take care of
  1616 dependencies properly.
  1617 
  1618 * Discontinued obsolete method fastsimp / tactic fast_simp_tac, which
  1619 is called fastforce / fast_force_tac already since Isabelle2011-1.
  1620 
  1621 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual, reduced
  1622 remaining material in old "ref" manual.
  1623 
  1624 * Improved support for auxiliary contexts that indicate block structure
  1625 for specifications.  Nesting of "context fixes ... context assumes ..."
  1626 and "class ... context ...".
  1627 
  1628 * Attribute "consumes" allows a negative value as well, which is
  1629 interpreted relatively to the total number of premises of the rule in
  1630 the target context.  This form of declaration is stable when exported
  1631 from a nested 'context' with additional assumptions.  It is the
  1632 preferred form for definitional packages, notably cases/rules produced
  1633 in HOL/inductive and HOL/function.
  1634 
  1635 * More informative error messages for Isar proof commands involving
  1636 lazy enumerations (method applications etc.).
  1637 
  1638 * Refined 'help' command to retrieve outer syntax commands according
  1639 to name patterns (with clickable results).
  1640 
  1641 
  1642 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
  1643 
  1644 * Parallel terminal proofs ('by') are enabled by default, likewise
  1645 proofs that are built into packages like 'datatype', 'function'.  This
  1646 allows to "run ahead" checking the theory specifications on the
  1647 surface, while the prover is still crunching on internal
  1648 justifications.  Unfinished / cancelled proofs are restarted as
  1649 required to complete full proof checking eventually.
  1650 
  1651 * Improved output panel with tooltips, hyperlinks etc. based on the
  1652 same Rich_Text_Area as regular Isabelle/jEdit buffers.  Activation of
  1653 tooltips leads to some window that supports the same recursively,
  1654 which can lead to stacks of tooltips as the semantic document content
  1655 is explored.  ESCAPE closes the whole stack, individual windows may be
  1656 closed separately, or detached to become independent jEdit dockables.
  1657 
  1658 * Improved support for commands that produce graph output: the text
  1659 message contains a clickable area to open a new instance of the graph
  1660 browser on demand.
  1661 
  1662 * More robust incremental parsing of outer syntax (partial comments,
  1663 malformed symbols).  Changing the balance of open/close quotes and
  1664 comment delimiters works more conveniently with unfinished situations
  1665 that frequently occur in user interaction.
  1666 
  1667 * More efficient painting and improved reactivity when editing large
  1668 files.  More scalable management of formal document content.
  1669 
  1670 * Smarter handling of tracing messages: prover process pauses after
  1671 certain number of messages per command transaction, with some user
  1672 dialog to stop or continue.  This avoids swamping the front-end with
  1673 potentially infinite message streams.
  1674 
  1675 * More plugin options and preferences, based on Isabelle/Scala.  The
  1676 jEdit plugin option panel provides access to some Isabelle/Scala
  1677 options, including tuning parameters for editor reactivity and color
  1678 schemes.
  1679 
  1680 * Dockable window "Symbols" provides some editing support for Isabelle
  1681 symbols.
  1682 
  1683 * Dockable window "Monitor" shows ML runtime statistics.  Note that
  1684 continuous display of the chart slows down the system.
  1685 
  1686 * Improved editing support for control styles: subscript, superscript,
  1687 bold, reset of style -- operating on single symbols or text
  1688 selections.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C+e DOWN/UP/RIGHT/LEFT.
  1689 
  1690 * Actions isabelle.increase-font-size and isabelle.decrease-font-size
  1691 adjust the main text area font size, and its derivatives for output,
  1692 tooltips etc.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C-PLUS and C-MINUS, which often
  1693 need to be adapted to local keyboard layouts.
  1694 
  1695 * More reactive completion popup by default: use \t (TAB) instead of
  1696 \n (NEWLINE) to minimize intrusion into regular flow of editing.  See
  1697 also "Plugin Options / SideKick / General / Code Completion Options".
  1698 
  1699 * Implicit check and build dialog of the specified logic session
  1700 image.  For example, HOL, HOLCF, HOL-Nominal can be produced on
  1701 demand, without bundling big platform-dependent heap images in the
  1702 Isabelle distribution.
  1703 
  1704 * Uniform Java 7 platform on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows: recent updates
  1705 from Oracle provide better multi-platform experience.  This version is
  1706 now bundled exclusively with Isabelle.
  1707 
  1708 
  1709 *** Pure ***
  1710 
  1711 * Code generation for Haskell: restrict unqualified imports from
  1712 Haskell Prelude to a small set of fundamental operations.
  1713 
  1714 * Command 'export_code': relative file names are interpreted
  1715 relatively to master directory of current theory rather than the
  1716 rather arbitrary current working directory.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1717 
  1718 * Discontinued obsolete attribute "COMP".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
  1719 use regular rule composition via "OF" / "THEN", or explicit proof
  1720 structure instead.  Note that Isabelle/ML provides a variety of
  1721 operators like COMP, INCR_COMP, COMP_INCR, which need to be applied
  1722 with some care where this is really required.
  1723 
  1724 * Command 'typ' supports an additional variant with explicit sort
  1725 constraint, to infer and check the most general type conforming to a
  1726 given sort.  Example (in HOL):
  1727 
  1728   typ "_ * _ * bool * unit" :: finite
  1729 
  1730 * Command 'locale_deps' visualizes all locales and their relations as
  1731 a Hasse diagram.
  1732 
  1733 
  1734 *** HOL ***
  1735 
  1736 * Sledgehammer:
  1737 
  1738   - Added MaSh relevance filter based on machine-learning; see the
  1739     Sledgehammer manual for details.
  1740   - Polished Isar proofs generated with "isar_proofs" option.
  1741   - Rationalized type encodings ("type_enc" option).
  1742   - Renamed "kill_provers" subcommand to "kill_all".
  1743   - Renamed options:
  1744       isar_proof ~> isar_proofs
  1745       isar_shrink_factor ~> isar_shrink
  1746       max_relevant ~> max_facts
  1747       relevance_thresholds ~> fact_thresholds
  1748 
  1749 * Quickcheck: added an optimisation for equality premises.  It is
  1750 switched on by default, and can be switched off by setting the
  1751 configuration quickcheck_optimise_equality to false.
  1752 
  1753 * Quotient: only one quotient can be defined by quotient_type
  1754 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1755 
  1756 * Lifting:
  1757   - generation of an abstraction function equation in lift_definition
  1758   - quot_del attribute
  1759   - renamed no_abs_code -> no_code (INCOMPATIBILITY.)
  1760 
  1761 * Simproc "finite_Collect" rewrites set comprehensions into pointfree
  1762 expressions.
  1763 
  1764 * Preprocessing of the code generator rewrites set comprehensions into
  1765 pointfree expressions.
  1766 
  1767 * The SMT solver Z3 has now by default a restricted set of directly
  1768 supported features. For the full set of features (div/mod, nonlinear
  1769 arithmetic, datatypes/records) with potential proof reconstruction
  1770 failures, enable the configuration option "z3_with_extensions".  Minor
  1771 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1772 
  1773 * Simplified 'typedef' specifications: historical options for implicit
  1774 set definition and alternative name have been discontinued.  The
  1775 former behavior of "typedef (open) t = A" is now the default, but
  1776 written just "typedef t = A".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt theories
  1777 accordingly.
  1778 
  1779 * Removed constant "chars"; prefer "Enum.enum" on type "char"
  1780 directly.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1781 
  1782 * Moved operation product, sublists and n_lists from theory Enum to
  1783 List.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1784 
  1785 * Theorem UN_o generalized to SUP_comp.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1786 
  1787 * Class "comm_monoid_diff" formalises properties of bounded
  1788 subtraction, with natural numbers and multisets as typical instances.
  1789 
  1790 * Added combinator "Option.these" with type "'a option set => 'a set".
  1791 
  1792 * Theory "Transitive_Closure": renamed lemmas
  1793 
  1794   reflcl_tranclp -> reflclp_tranclp
  1795   rtranclp_reflcl -> rtranclp_reflclp
  1796 
  1797 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1798 
  1799 * Theory "Rings": renamed lemmas (in class semiring)
  1800 
  1801   left_distrib ~> distrib_right
  1802   right_distrib ~> distrib_left
  1803 
  1804 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1805 
  1806 * Generalized the definition of limits:
  1807 
  1808   - Introduced the predicate filterlim (LIM x F. f x :> G) which
  1809     expresses that when the input values x converge to F then the
  1810     output f x converges to G.
  1811 
  1812   - Added filters for convergence to positive (at_top) and negative
  1813     infinity (at_bot).
  1814 
  1815   - Moved infinity in the norm (at_infinity) from
  1816     Multivariate_Analysis to Complex_Main.
  1817 
  1818   - Removed real_tendsto_inf, it is superseded by "LIM x F. f x :>
  1819     at_top".
  1820 
  1821 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1822 
  1823 * Theory "Library/Option_ord" provides instantiation of option type to
  1824 lattice type classes.
  1825 
  1826 * Theory "Library/Multiset": renamed
  1827 
  1828     constant fold_mset ~> Multiset.fold
  1829     fact fold_mset_commute ~> fold_mset_comm
  1830 
  1831 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1832 
  1833 * Renamed theory Library/List_Prefix to Library/Sublist, with related
  1834 changes as follows.
  1835 
  1836   - Renamed constants (and related lemmas)
  1837 
  1838       prefix ~> prefixeq
  1839       strict_prefix ~> prefix
  1840 
  1841   - Replaced constant "postfix" by "suffixeq" with swapped argument
  1842     order (i.e., "postfix xs ys" is now "suffixeq ys xs") and dropped
  1843     old infix syntax "xs >>= ys"; use "suffixeq ys xs" instead.
  1844     Renamed lemmas accordingly.
  1845 
  1846   - Added constant "list_hembeq" for homeomorphic embedding on
  1847     lists. Added abbreviation "sublisteq" for special case
  1848     "list_hembeq (op =)".
  1849 
  1850   - Theory Library/Sublist no longer provides "order" and "bot" type
  1851     class instances for the prefix order (merely corresponding locale
  1852     interpretations). The type class instances are now in theory
  1853     Library/Prefix_Order.
  1854 
  1855   - The sublist relation of theory Library/Sublist_Order is now based
  1856     on "Sublist.sublisteq".  Renamed lemmas accordingly:
  1857 
  1858       le_list_append_le_same_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append_le_same_iff
  1859       le_list_append_mono ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_append_mono
  1860       le_list_below_empty ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil, Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil2
  1861       le_list_Cons_EX ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_ConsD
  1862       le_list_drop_Cons2 ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2'
  1863       le_list_drop_Cons_neq ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2_neq
  1864       le_list_drop_Cons ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons'
  1865       le_list_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_drop_many
  1866       le_list_filter_left ~> Sublist.sublisteq_filter_left
  1867       le_list_rev_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_rev_drop_many
  1868       le_list_rev_take_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append
  1869       le_list_same_length ~> Sublist.sublisteq_same_length
  1870       le_list_take_many_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append'
  1871       less_eq_list.drop ~> less_eq_list_drop
  1872       less_eq_list.induct ~> less_eq_list_induct
  1873       not_le_list_length ~> Sublist.not_sublisteq_length
  1874 
  1875 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1876 
  1877 * New theory Library/Countable_Set.
  1878 
  1879 * Theory Library/Debug and Library/Parallel provide debugging and
  1880 parallel execution for code generated towards Isabelle/ML.
  1881 
  1882 * Theory Library/FuncSet: Extended support for Pi and extensional and
  1883 introduce the extensional dependent function space "PiE". Replaced
  1884 extensional_funcset by an abbreviation, and renamed lemmas from
  1885 extensional_funcset to PiE as follows:
  1886 
  1887   extensional_empty  ~>  PiE_empty
  1888   extensional_funcset_empty_domain  ~>  PiE_empty_domain
  1889   extensional_funcset_empty_range  ~>  PiE_empty_range
  1890   extensional_funcset_arb  ~>  PiE_arb
  1891   extensional_funcset_mem  ~>  PiE_mem
  1892   extensional_funcset_extend_domainI  ~>  PiE_fun_upd
  1893   extensional_funcset_restrict_domain  ~>  fun_upd_in_PiE
  1894   extensional_funcset_extend_domain_eq  ~>  PiE_insert_eq
  1895   card_extensional_funcset  ~>  card_PiE
  1896   finite_extensional_funcset  ~>  finite_PiE
  1897 
  1898 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1899 
  1900 * Theory Library/FinFun: theory of almost everywhere constant
  1901 functions (supersedes the AFP entry "Code Generation for Functions as
  1902 Data").
  1903 
  1904 * Theory Library/Phantom: generic phantom type to make a type
  1905 parameter appear in a constant's type.  This alternative to adding
  1906 TYPE('a) as another parameter avoids unnecessary closures in generated
  1907 code.
  1908 
  1909 * Theory Library/RBT_Impl: efficient construction of red-black trees
  1910 from sorted associative lists. Merging two trees with rbt_union may
  1911 return a structurally different tree than before.  Potential
  1912 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1913 
  1914 * Theory Library/IArray: immutable arrays with code generation.
  1915 
  1916 * Theory Library/Finite_Lattice: theory of finite lattices.
  1917 
  1918 * HOL/Multivariate_Analysis: replaced
  1919 
  1920   "basis :: 'a::euclidean_space => nat => real"
  1921   "\<Chi>\<Chi> :: (nat => real) => 'a::euclidean_space"
  1922 
  1923 on euclidean spaces by using the inner product "_ \<bullet> _" with
  1924 vectors from the Basis set: "\<Chi>\<Chi> i. f i" is superseded by
  1925 "SUM i : Basis. f i * r i".
  1926 
  1927   With this change the following constants are also changed or removed:
  1928 
  1929     DIM('a) :: nat  ~>  card (Basis :: 'a set)   (is an abbreviation)
  1930     a $$ i  ~>  inner a i  (where i : Basis)
  1931     cart_base i  removed
  1932     \<pi>, \<pi>'  removed
  1933 
  1934   Theorems about these constants where removed.
  1935 
  1936   Renamed lemmas:
  1937 
  1938     component_le_norm  ~>  Basis_le_norm
  1939     euclidean_eq  ~>  euclidean_eq_iff
  1940     differential_zero_maxmin_component  ~>  differential_zero_maxmin_cart
  1941     euclidean_simps  ~>  inner_simps
  1942     independent_basis  ~>  independent_Basis
  1943     span_basis  ~>  span_Basis
  1944     in_span_basis  ~>  in_span_Basis
  1945     norm_bound_component_le  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_le
  1946     norm_bound_component_lt  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_lt
  1947     component_le_infnorm  ~>  Basis_le_infnorm
  1948 
  1949 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1950 
  1951 * HOL/Probability:
  1952 
  1953   - Added simproc "measurable" to automatically prove measurability.
  1954 
  1955   - Added induction rules for sigma sets with disjoint union
  1956     (sigma_sets_induct_disjoint) and for Borel-measurable functions
  1957     (borel_measurable_induct).
  1958 
  1959   - Added the Daniell-Kolmogorov theorem (the existence the limit of a
  1960     projective family).
  1961 
  1962 * HOL/Cardinals: Theories of ordinals and cardinals (supersedes the
  1963 AFP entry "Ordinals_and_Cardinals").
  1964 
  1965 * HOL/BNF: New (co)datatype package based on bounded natural functors
  1966 with support for mixed, nested recursion and interesting non-free
  1967 datatypes.
  1968 
  1969 * HOL/Finite_Set and Relation: added new set and relation operations
  1970 expressed by Finite_Set.fold.
  1971 
  1972 * New theory HOL/Library/RBT_Set: implementation of sets by red-black
  1973 trees for the code generator.
  1974 
  1975 * HOL/Library/RBT and HOL/Library/Mapping have been converted to
  1976 Lifting/Transfer.
  1977 possible INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1978 
  1979 * HOL/Set: renamed Set.project -> Set.filter
  1980 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1981 
  1982 
  1983 *** Document preparation ***
  1984 
  1985 * Dropped legacy antiquotations "term_style" and "thm_style", since
  1986 styles may be given as arguments to "term" and "thm" already.
  1987 Discontinued legacy styles "prem1" .. "prem19".
  1988 
  1989 * Default LaTeX rendering for \<euro> is now based on eurosym package,
  1990 instead of slightly exotic babel/greek.
  1991 
  1992 * Document variant NAME may use different LaTeX entry point
  1993 document/root_NAME.tex if that file exists, instead of the common
  1994 document/root.tex.
  1995 
  1996 * Simplified custom document/build script, instead of old-style
  1997 document/IsaMakefile.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1998 
  1999 
  2000 *** ML ***
  2001 
  2002 * The default limit for maximum number of worker threads is now 8,
  2003 instead of 4, in correspondence to capabilities of contemporary
  2004 hardware and Poly/ML runtime system.
  2005 
  2006 * Type Seq.results and related operations support embedded error
  2007 messages within lazy enumerations, and thus allow to provide
  2008 informative errors in the absence of any usable results.
  2009 
  2010 * Renamed Position.str_of to Position.here to emphasize that this is a
  2011 formal device to inline positions into message text, but not
  2012 necessarily printing visible text.
  2013 
  2014 
  2015 *** System ***
  2016 
  2017 * Advanced support for Isabelle sessions and build management, see
  2018 "system" manual for the chapter of that name, especially the "isabelle
  2019 build" tool and its examples.  The "isabelle mkroot" tool prepares
  2020 session root directories for use with "isabelle build", similar to
  2021 former "isabelle mkdir" for "isabelle usedir".  Note that this affects
  2022 document preparation as well.  INCOMPATIBILITY, isabelle usedir /
  2023 mkdir / make are rendered obsolete.
  2024 
  2025 * Discontinued obsolete Isabelle/build script, it is superseded by the
  2026 regular isabelle build tool.  For example:
  2027 
  2028   isabelle build -s -b HOL
  2029 
  2030 * Discontinued obsolete "isabelle makeall".
  2031 
  2032 * Discontinued obsolete IsaMakefile and ROOT.ML files from the
  2033 Isabelle distribution, except for rudimentary src/HOL/IsaMakefile that
  2034 provides some traditional targets that invoke "isabelle build".  Note
  2035 that this is inefficient!  Applications of Isabelle/HOL involving
  2036 "isabelle make" should be upgraded to use "isabelle build" directly.
  2037 
  2038 * The "isabelle options" tool prints Isabelle system options, as
  2039 required for "isabelle build", for example.
  2040 
  2041 * The "isabelle logo" tool produces EPS and PDF format simultaneously.
  2042 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY in command-line options.
  2043 
  2044 * The "isabelle install" tool has now a simpler command-line.  Minor
  2045 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2046 
  2047 * The "isabelle components" tool helps to resolve add-on components
  2048 that are not bundled, or referenced from a bare-bones repository
  2049 version of Isabelle.
  2050 
  2051 * Settings variable ISABELLE_PLATFORM_FAMILY refers to the general
  2052 platform family: "linux", "macos", "windows".
  2053 
  2054 * The ML system is configured as regular component, and no longer
  2055 picked up from some surrounding directory.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  2056 for home-made settings.
  2057 
  2058 * Improved ML runtime statistics (heap, threads, future tasks etc.).
  2059 
  2060 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2.1, which was the last version
  2061 without exception positions and advanced ML compiler/toplevel
  2062 configuration.
  2063 
  2064 * Discontinued special treatment of Proof General -- no longer guess
  2065 PROOFGENERAL_HOME based on accidental file-system layout.  Minor
  2066 INCOMPATIBILITY: provide PROOFGENERAL_HOME and PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS
  2067 settings manually, or use a Proof General version that has been
  2068 bundled as Isabelle component.
  2069 
  2070 
  2071 
  2072 New in Isabelle2012 (May 2012)
  2073 ------------------------------
  2074 
  2075 *** General ***
  2076 
  2077 * Prover IDE (PIDE) improvements:
  2078 
  2079   - more robust Sledgehammer integration (as before the sledgehammer
  2080     command-line needs to be typed into the source buffer)
  2081   - markup for bound variables
  2082   - markup for types of term variables (displayed as tooltips)
  2083   - support for user-defined Isar commands within the running session
  2084   - improved support for Unicode outside original 16bit range
  2085     e.g. glyph for \<A> (thanks to jEdit 4.5.1)
  2086 
  2087 * Forward declaration of outer syntax keywords within the theory
  2088 header -- minor INCOMPATIBILITY for user-defined commands.  Allow new
  2089 commands to be used in the same theory where defined.
  2090 
  2091 * Auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for specifications with
  2092 additional parameters and assumptions.  Such unnamed contexts may be
  2093 nested within other targets, like 'theory', 'locale', 'class',
  2094 'instantiation' etc.  Results from the local context are generalized
  2095 accordingly and applied to the enclosing target context.  Example:
  2096 
  2097   context
  2098     fixes x y z :: 'a
  2099     assumes xy: "x = y" and yz: "y = z"
  2100   begin
  2101 
  2102   lemma my_trans: "x = z" using xy yz by simp
  2103 
  2104   end
  2105 
  2106   thm my_trans
  2107 
  2108 The most basic application is to factor-out context elements of
  2109 several fixes/assumes/shows theorem statements, e.g. see
  2110 ~~/src/HOL/Isar_Examples/Group_Context.thy
  2111 
  2112 Any other local theory specification element works within the "context
  2113 ... begin ... end" block as well.
  2114 
  2115 * Bundled declarations associate attributed fact expressions with a
  2116 given name in the context.  These may be later included in other
  2117 contexts.  This allows to manage context extensions casually, without
  2118 the logical dependencies of locales and locale interpretation.  See
  2119 commands 'bundle', 'include', 'including' etc. in the isar-ref manual.
  2120 
  2121 * Commands 'lemmas' and 'theorems' allow local variables using 'for'
  2122 declaration, and results are standardized before being stored.  Thus
  2123 old-style "standard" after instantiation or composition of facts
  2124 becomes obsolete.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, due to potential change of
  2125 indices of schematic variables.
  2126 
  2127 * Rule attributes in local theory declarations (e.g. locale or class)
  2128 are now statically evaluated: the resulting theorem is stored instead
  2129 of the original expression.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  2130 the historic accident of dynamic re-evaluation in interpretations
  2131 etc. was exploited.
  2132 
  2133 * New tutorial "Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL"
  2134 ("prog-prove").  It completely supersedes "A Tutorial Introduction to
  2135 Structured Isar Proofs" ("isar-overview"), which has been removed.  It
  2136 also supersedes "Isabelle/HOL, A Proof Assistant for Higher-Order
  2137 Logic" as the recommended beginners tutorial, but does not cover all
  2138 of the material of that old tutorial.
  2139 
  2140 * Updated and extended reference manuals: "isar-ref",
  2141 "implementation", "system"; reduced remaining material in old "ref"
  2142 manual.
  2143 
  2144 
  2145 *** Pure ***
  2146 
  2147 * Command 'definition' no longer exports the foundational "raw_def"
  2148 into the user context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, may use the regular
  2149 "def" result with attribute "abs_def" to imitate the old version.
  2150 
  2151 * Attribute "abs_def" turns an equation of the form "f x y == t" into
  2152 "f == %x y. t", which ensures that "simp" or "unfold" steps always
  2153 expand it.  This also works for object-logic equality.  (Formerly
  2154 undocumented feature.)
  2155 
  2156 * Sort constraints are now propagated in simultaneous statements, just
  2157 like type constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  2158 distinct sorts used to be assigned accidentally.  For example:
  2159 
  2160   lemma "P (x::'a::foo)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"  -- "now illegal"
  2161 
  2162   lemma "P (x::'a)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"
  2163     -- "now uniform 'a::bar instead of default sort for first occurrence (!)"
  2164 
  2165 * Rule composition via attribute "OF" (or ML functions OF/MRS) is more
  2166 tolerant against multiple unifiers, as long as the final result is
  2167 unique.  (As before, rules are composed in canonical right-to-left
  2168 order to accommodate newly introduced premises.)
  2169 
  2170 * Renamed some inner syntax categories:
  2171 
  2172     num ~> num_token
  2173     xnum ~> xnum_token
  2174     xstr ~> str_token
  2175 
  2176 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that in practice "num_const" or
  2177 "num_position" etc. are mainly used instead (which also include
  2178 position information via constraints).
  2179 
  2180 * Simplified configuration options for syntax ambiguity: see
  2181 "syntax_ambiguity_warning" and "syntax_ambiguity_limit" in isar-ref
  2182 manual.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2183 
  2184 * Discontinued configuration option "syntax_positions": atomic terms
  2185 in parse trees are always annotated by position constraints.
  2186 
  2187 * Old code generator for SML and its commands 'code_module',
  2188 'code_library', 'consts_code', 'types_code' have been discontinued.
  2189 Use commands of the generic code generator instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2190 
  2191 * Redundant attribute "code_inline" has been discontinued. Use
  2192 "code_unfold" instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2193 
  2194 * Dropped attribute "code_unfold_post" in favor of the its dual
  2195 "code_abbrev", which yields a common pattern in definitions like
  2196 
  2197   definition [code_abbrev]: "f = t"
  2198 
  2199 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2200 
  2201 * Obsolete 'types' command has been discontinued.  Use 'type_synonym'
  2202 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2203 
  2204 * Discontinued old "prems" fact, which used to refer to the accidental
  2205 collection of foundational premises in the context (already marked as
  2206 legacy since Isabelle2011).
  2207 
  2208 
  2209 *** HOL ***
  2210 
  2211 * Type 'a set is now a proper type constructor (just as before
  2212 Isabelle2008).  Definitions mem_def and Collect_def have disappeared.
  2213 Non-trivial INCOMPATIBILITY.  For developments keeping predicates and
  2214 sets separate, it is often sufficient to rephrase some set S that has
  2215 been accidentally used as predicates by "%x. x : S", and some
  2216 predicate P that has been accidentally used as set by "{x. P x}".
  2217 Corresponding proofs in a first step should be pruned from any
  2218 tinkering with former theorems mem_def and Collect_def as far as
  2219 possible.
  2220 
  2221 For developments which deliberately mix predicates and sets, a
  2222 planning step is necessary to determine what should become a predicate
  2223 and what a set.  It can be helpful to carry out that step in
  2224 Isabelle2011-1 before jumping right into the current release.
  2225 
  2226 * Code generation by default implements sets as container type rather
  2227 than predicates.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2228 
  2229 * New type synonym 'a rel = ('a * 'a) set
  2230 
  2231 * The representation of numerals has changed.  Datatype "num"
  2232 represents strictly positive binary numerals, along with functions
  2233 "numeral :: num => 'a" and "neg_numeral :: num => 'a" to represent
  2234 positive and negated numeric literals, respectively.  See also
  2235 definitions in ~~/src/HOL/Num.thy.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, some
  2236 user theories may require adaptations as follows:
  2237 
  2238   - Theorems with number_ring or number_semiring constraints: These
  2239     classes are gone; use comm_ring_1 or comm_semiring_1 instead.
  2240 
  2241   - Theories defining numeric types: Remove number, number_semiring,
  2242     and number_ring instances. Defer all theorems about numerals until
  2243     after classes one and semigroup_add have been instantiated.
  2244 
  2245   - Numeral-only simp rules: Replace each rule having a "number_of v"
  2246     pattern with two copies, one for numeral and one for neg_numeral.
  2247 
  2248   - Theorems about subclasses of semiring_1 or ring_1: These classes
  2249     automatically support numerals now, so more simp rules and
  2250     simprocs may now apply within the proof.
  2251 
  2252   - Definitions and theorems using old constructors Pls/Min/Bit0/Bit1:
  2253     Redefine using other integer operations.
  2254 
  2255 * Transfer: New package intended to generalize the existing
  2256 "descending" method and related theorem attributes from the Quotient
  2257 package.  (Not all functionality is implemented yet, but future
  2258 development will focus on Transfer as an eventual replacement for the
  2259 corresponding parts of the Quotient package.)
  2260 
  2261   - transfer_rule attribute: Maintains a collection of transfer rules,
  2262     which relate constants at two different types. Transfer rules may
  2263     relate different type instances of the same polymorphic constant,
  2264     or they may relate an operation on a raw type to a corresponding
  2265     operation on an abstract type (quotient or subtype). For example:
  2266 
  2267     ((A ===> B) ===> list_all2 A ===> list_all2 B) map map
  2268     (cr_int ===> cr_int ===> cr_int) (%(x,y) (u,v). (x+u, y+v)) plus_int
  2269 
  2270   - transfer method: Replaces a subgoal on abstract types with an
  2271     equivalent subgoal on the corresponding raw types. Constants are
  2272     replaced with corresponding ones according to the transfer rules.
  2273     Goals are generalized over all free variables by default; this is
  2274     necessary for variables whose types change, but can be overridden
  2275     for specific variables with e.g. "transfer fixing: x y z".  The
  2276     variant transfer' method allows replacing a subgoal with one that
  2277     is logically stronger (rather than equivalent).
  2278 
  2279   - relator_eq attribute: Collects identity laws for relators of
  2280     various type constructors, e.g. "list_all2 (op =) = (op =)".  The
  2281     transfer method uses these lemmas to infer transfer rules for
  2282     non-polymorphic constants on the fly.
  2283 
  2284   - transfer_prover method: Assists with proving a transfer rule for a
  2285     new constant, provided the constant is defined in terms of other
  2286     constants that already have transfer rules. It should be applied
  2287     after unfolding the constant definitions.
  2288 
  2289   - HOL/ex/Transfer_Int_Nat.thy: Example theory demonstrating transfer
  2290     from type nat to type int.
  2291 
  2292 * Lifting: New package intended to generalize the quotient_definition
  2293 facility of the Quotient package; designed to work with Transfer.
  2294 
  2295   - lift_definition command: Defines operations on an abstract type in
  2296     terms of a corresponding operation on a representation
  2297     type.  Example syntax:
  2298 
  2299     lift_definition dlist_insert :: "'a => 'a dlist => 'a dlist"
  2300       is List.insert
  2301 
  2302     Users must discharge a respectfulness proof obligation when each
  2303     constant is defined. (For a type copy, i.e. a typedef with UNIV,
  2304     the proof is discharged automatically.) The obligation is
  2305     presented in a user-friendly, readable form; a respectfulness
  2306     theorem in the standard format and a transfer rule are generated
  2307     by the package.
  2308 
  2309   - Integration with code_abstype: For typedefs (e.g. subtypes
  2310     corresponding to a datatype invariant, such as dlist),
  2311     lift_definition generates a code certificate theorem and sets up
  2312     code generation for each constant.
  2313 
  2314   - setup_lifting command: Sets up the Lifting package to work with a
  2315     user-defined type. The user must provide either a quotient theorem
  2316     or a type_definition theorem.  The package configures transfer
  2317     rules for equality and quantifiers on the type, and sets up the
  2318     lift_definition command to work with the type.
  2319 
  2320   - Usage examples: See Quotient_Examples/Lift_DList.thy,
  2321     Quotient_Examples/Lift_RBT.thy, Quotient_Examples/Lift_FSet.thy,
  2322     Word/Word.thy and Library/Float.thy.
  2323 
  2324 * Quotient package:
  2325 
  2326   - The 'quotient_type' command now supports a 'morphisms' option with
  2327     rep and abs functions, similar to typedef.
  2328 
  2329   - 'quotient_type' sets up new types to work with the Lifting and
  2330     Transfer packages, as with 'setup_lifting'.
  2331 
  2332   - The 'quotient_definition' command now requires the user to prove a
  2333     respectfulness property at the point where the constant is
  2334     defined, similar to lift_definition; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2335 
  2336   - Renamed predicate 'Quotient' to 'Quotient3', and renamed theorems
  2337     accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2338 
  2339 * New diagnostic command 'find_unused_assms' to find potentially
  2340 superfluous assumptions in theorems using Quickcheck.
  2341 
  2342 * Quickcheck:
  2343 
  2344   - Quickcheck returns variable assignments as counterexamples, which
  2345     allows to reveal the underspecification of functions under test.
  2346     For example, refuting "hd xs = x", it presents the variable
  2347     assignment xs = [] and x = a1 as a counterexample, assuming that
  2348     any property is false whenever "hd []" occurs in it.
  2349 
  2350     These counterexample are marked as potentially spurious, as
  2351     Quickcheck also returns "xs = []" as a counterexample to the
  2352     obvious theorem "hd xs = hd xs".
  2353 
  2354     After finding a potentially spurious counterexample, Quickcheck
  2355     continues searching for genuine ones.
  2356 
  2357     By default, Quickcheck shows potentially spurious and genuine
  2358     counterexamples. The option "genuine_only" sets quickcheck to only
  2359     show genuine counterexamples.
  2360 
  2361   - The command 'quickcheck_generator' creates random and exhaustive
  2362     value generators for a given type and operations.
  2363 
  2364     It generates values by using the operations as if they were
  2365     constructors of that type.
  2366 
  2367   - Support for multisets.
  2368 
  2369   - Added "use_subtype" options.
  2370 
  2371   - Added "quickcheck_locale" configuration to specify how to process
  2372     conjectures in a locale context.
  2373 
  2374 * Nitpick: Fixed infinite loop caused by the 'peephole_optim' option
  2375 and affecting 'rat' and 'real'.
  2376 
  2377 * Sledgehammer:
  2378   - Integrated more tightly with SPASS, as described in the ITP 2012
  2379     paper "More SPASS with Isabelle".
  2380   - Made it try "smt" as a fallback if "metis" fails or times out.
  2381   - Added support for the following provers: Alt-Ergo (via Why3 and
  2382     TFF1), iProver, iProver-Eq.
  2383   - Sped up the minimizer.
  2384   - Added "lam_trans", "uncurry_aliases", and "minimize" options.
  2385   - Renamed "slicing" ("no_slicing") option to "slice" ("dont_slice").
  2386   - Renamed "sound" option to "strict".
  2387 
  2388 * Metis: Added possibility to specify lambda translations scheme as a
  2389 parenthesized argument (e.g., "by (metis (lifting) ...)").
  2390 
  2391 * SMT: Renamed "smt_fixed" option to "smt_read_only_certificates".
  2392 
  2393 * Command 'try0': Renamed from 'try_methods'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2394 
  2395 * New "case_product" attribute to generate a case rule doing multiple
  2396 case distinctions at the same time.  E.g.
  2397 
  2398   list.exhaust [case_product nat.exhaust]
  2399 
  2400 produces a rule which can be used to perform case distinction on both
  2401 a list and a nat.
  2402 
  2403 * New "eventually_elim" method as a generalized variant of the
  2404 eventually_elim* rules.  Supports structured proofs.
  2405 
  2406 * Typedef with implicit set definition is considered legacy.  Use
  2407 "typedef (open)" form instead, which will eventually become the
  2408 default.
  2409 
  2410 * Record: code generation can be switched off manually with
  2411 
  2412   declare [[record_coden = false]]  -- "default true"
  2413 
  2414 * Datatype: type parameters allow explicit sort constraints.
  2415 
  2416 * Concrete syntax for case expressions includes constraints for source
  2417 positions, and thus produces Prover IDE markup for its bindings.
  2418 INCOMPATIBILITY for old-style syntax translations that augment the
  2419 pattern notation; e.g. see src/HOL/HOLCF/One.thy for translations of
  2420 one_case.
  2421 
  2422 * Clarified attribute "mono_set": pure declaration without modifying
  2423 the result of the fact expression.
  2424 
  2425 * More default pred/set conversions on a couple of relation operations
  2426 and predicates.  Added powers of predicate relations.  Consolidation
  2427 of some relation theorems:
  2428 
  2429   converse_def ~> converse_unfold
  2430   rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
  2431   symp_def ~> (modified, use symp_def and sym_def instead)
  2432   transp_def ~> transp_trans
  2433   Domain_def ~> Domain_unfold
  2434   Range_def ~> Domain_converse [symmetric]
  2435 
  2436 Generalized theorems INF_INT_eq, INF_INT_eq2, SUP_UN_eq, SUP_UN_eq2.
  2437 
  2438 See theory "Relation" for examples for making use of pred/set
  2439 conversions by means of attributes "to_set" and "to_pred".
  2440 
  2441 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2442 
  2443 * Renamed facts about the power operation on relations, i.e., relpow
  2444 to match the constant's name:
  2445 
  2446   rel_pow_1 ~> relpow_1
  2447   rel_pow_0_I ~> relpow_0_I
  2448   rel_pow_Suc_I ~> relpow_Suc_I
  2449   rel_pow_Suc_I2 ~> relpow_Suc_I2
  2450   rel_pow_0_E ~> relpow_0_E
  2451   rel_pow_Suc_E ~> relpow_Suc_E
  2452   rel_pow_E ~> relpow_E
  2453   rel_pow_Suc_D2 ~> relpow_Suc_D2
  2454   rel_pow_Suc_E2 ~> relpow_Suc_E2
  2455   rel_pow_Suc_D2' ~> relpow_Suc_D2'
  2456   rel_pow_E2 ~> relpow_E2
  2457   rel_pow_add ~> relpow_add
  2458   rel_pow_commute ~> relpow
  2459   rel_pow_empty ~> relpow_empty:
  2460   rtrancl_imp_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_imp_UN_relpow
  2461   rel_pow_imp_rtrancl ~> relpow_imp_rtrancl
  2462   rtrancl_is_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_is_UN_relpow
  2463   rtrancl_imp_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_imp_relpow
  2464   rel_pow_fun_conv ~> relpow_fun_conv
  2465   rel_pow_finite_bounded1 ~> relpow_finite_bounded1
  2466   rel_pow_finite_bounded ~> relpow_finite_bounded
  2467   rtrancl_finite_eq_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_finite_eq_relpow
  2468   trancl_finite_eq_rel_pow ~> trancl_finite_eq_relpow
  2469   single_valued_rel_pow ~> single_valued_relpow
  2470 
  2471 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2472 
  2473 * Theory Relation: Consolidated constant name for relation composition
  2474 and corresponding theorem names:
  2475 
  2476   - Renamed constant rel_comp to relcomp.
  2477 
  2478   - Dropped abbreviation pred_comp. Use relcompp instead.
  2479 
  2480   - Renamed theorems:
  2481 
  2482     rel_compI ~> relcompI
  2483     rel_compEpair ~> relcompEpair
  2484     rel_compE ~> relcompE
  2485     pred_comp_rel_comp_eq ~> relcompp_relcomp_eq
  2486     rel_comp_empty1 ~> relcomp_empty1
  2487     rel_comp_mono ~> relcomp_mono
  2488     rel_comp_subset_Sigma ~> relcomp_subset_Sigma
  2489     rel_comp_distrib ~> relcomp_distrib
  2490     rel_comp_distrib2 ~> relcomp_distrib2
  2491     rel_comp_UNION_distrib ~> relcomp_UNION_distrib
  2492     rel_comp_UNION_distrib2 ~> relcomp_UNION_distrib2
  2493     single_valued_rel_comp ~> single_valued_relcomp
  2494     rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
  2495     converse_rel_comp ~> converse_relcomp
  2496     pred_compI ~> relcomppI
  2497     pred_compE ~> relcomppE
  2498     pred_comp_bot1 ~> relcompp_bot1
  2499     pred_comp_bot2 ~> relcompp_bot2
  2500     transp_pred_comp_less_eq ~> transp_relcompp_less_eq
  2501     pred_comp_mono ~> relcompp_mono
  2502     pred_comp_distrib ~> relcompp_distrib
  2503     pred_comp_distrib2 ~> relcompp_distrib2
  2504     converse_pred_comp ~> converse_relcompp
  2505 
  2506     finite_rel_comp ~> finite_relcomp
  2507 
  2508     set_rel_comp ~> set_relcomp
  2509 
  2510 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2511 
  2512 * Theory Divides: Discontinued redundant theorems about div and mod.
  2513 INCOMPATIBILITY, use the corresponding generic theorems instead.
  2514 
  2515   DIVISION_BY_ZERO ~> div_by_0, mod_by_0
  2516   zdiv_self ~> div_self

  2821 * New theory HOL/Library/DAList provides an abstract type for

  2823 
  2824 * Session HOL/IMP: Added new theory of abstract interpretation of

  2826 
  2827 * Session HOL-Import: Re-implementation from scratch is faster,
  2828 simpler, and more scalable.  Requires a proof bundle, which is

  2830 dead) Importer for HOL4 and HOL Light.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

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

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

  3259   INFI_bool_eq ~> INF_bool_eq
  3260   SUPR_bool_eq ~> SUP_bool_eq
  3261   INFI_apply ~> INF_apply
  3262   SUPR_apply ~> SUP_apply
  3263   INTER_def ~> INTER_eq
  3264   UNION_def ~> UNION_eq
  3265 
  3266 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3267 
  3268 * Renamed theory Complete_Lattice to Complete_Lattices.
  3269 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3270 
  3271 * Theory Complete_Lattices: lemmas Inf_eq_top_iff, INF_eq_top_iff,
  3272 INF_image, Inf_insert, INF_top, Inf_top_conv, INF_top_conv, SUP_bot,
  3273 Sup_bot_conv, SUP_bot_conv, Sup_eq_top_iff, SUP_eq_top_iff, SUP_image,
  3274 Sup_insert are now declared as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3275 
  3276 * Theory Lattice: lemmas compl_inf_bot, compl_le_comp_iff,
  3277 compl_sup_top, inf_idem, inf_left_idem, inf_sup_absorb, sup_idem,
  3278 sup_inf_absob, sup_left_idem are now declared as [simp].  Minor
  3279 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3280 
  3281 * Added syntactic classes "inf" and "sup" for the respective
  3282 constants.  INCOMPATIBILITY: Changes in the argument order of the
  3283 (mostly internal) locale predicates for some derived classes.
  3284 
  3285 * Theorem collections ball_simps and bex_simps do not contain theorems
  3286 referring to UNION any longer; these have been moved to collection
  3287 UN_ball_bex_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3288 
  3289 * Theory Archimedean_Field: floor now is defined as parameter of a
  3290 separate type class floor_ceiling.
  3291 
  3292 * Theory Finite_Set: more coherent development of fold_set locales:
  3293 
  3294     locale fun_left_comm ~> locale comp_fun_commute
  3295     locale fun_left_comm_idem ~> locale comp_fun_idem
  3296 
  3297 Both use point-free characterization; interpretation proofs may need
  3298 adjustment.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3299 
  3300 * Theory Limits: Type "'a net" has been renamed to "'a filter", in
  3301 accordance with standard mathematical terminology. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3302 
  3303 * Theory Complex_Main: The locale interpretations for the
  3304 bounded_linear and bounded_bilinear locales have been removed, in
  3305 order to reduce the number of duplicate lemmas. Users must use the
  3306 original names for distributivity theorems, potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3401 
  3402 * Theory Complex_Main: The definition of infinite series was
  3403 generalized.  Now it is defined on the type class {topological_space,
  3404 comm_monoid_add}.  Hence it is useable also for extended real numbers.
  3405 
  3406 * Theory Complex_Main: The complex exponential function "expi" is now
  3407 a type-constrained abbreviation for "exp :: complex => complex"; thus
  3408 several polymorphic lemmas about "exp" are now applicable to "expi".
  3409 
  3410 * Code generation:
  3411 
  3412   - Theory Library/Code_Char_ord provides native ordering of
  3413     characters in the target language.
  3414 
  3415   - Commands code_module and code_library are legacy, use export_code
  3416     instead.
  3417 
  3418   - Method "evaluation" is legacy, use method "eval" instead.
  3419 
  3420   - Legacy evaluator "SML" is deactivated by default.  May be
  3421     reactivated by the following theory command:
  3422 
  3423       setup {* Value.add_evaluator ("SML", Codegen.eval_term) *}
  3424 
  3425 * Declare ext [intro] by default.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3426 
  3427 * New proof method "induction" that gives induction hypotheses the
  3428 name "IH", thus distinguishing them from further hypotheses that come
  3429 from rule induction.  The latter are still called "hyps".  Method
  3430 "induction" is a thin wrapper around "induct" and follows the same
  3431 syntax.
  3432 
  3433 * Method "fastsimp" has been renamed to "fastforce", but "fastsimp" is
  3434 still available as a legacy feature for some time.
  3435 
  3436 * Nitpick:
  3437   - Added "need" and "total_consts" options.
  3438   - Reintroduced "show_skolems" option by popular demand.
  3439   - Renamed attribute: nitpick_def ~> nitpick_unfold.
  3440     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3441 
  3442 * Sledgehammer:
  3443   - Use quasi-sound (and efficient) translations by default.
  3444   - Added support for the following provers: E-ToFoF, LEO-II,
  3445     Satallax, SNARK, Waldmeister, and Z3 with TPTP syntax.
  3446   - Automatically preplay and minimize proofs before showing them if
  3447     this can be done within reasonable time.
  3448   - sledgehammer available_provers ~> sledgehammer supported_provers.
  3449     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3450   - Added "preplay_timeout", "slicing", "type_enc", "sound",
  3451     "max_mono_iters", and "max_new_mono_instances" options.
  3452   - Removed "explicit_apply" and "full_types" options as well as "Full
  3453     Types" Proof General menu item. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3454 
  3455 * Metis:
  3456   - Removed "metisF" -- use "metis" instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3457   - Obsoleted "metisFT" -- use "metis (full_types)" instead.
  3458     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3459 
  3460 * Command 'try':
  3461   - Renamed 'try_methods' and added "simp:", "intro:", "dest:", and
  3462     "elim:" options. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3463   - Introduced 'try' that not only runs 'try_methods' but also
  3464     'solve_direct', 'sledgehammer', 'quickcheck', and 'nitpick'.
  3465 
  3466 * Quickcheck:
  3467   - Added "eval" option to evaluate terms for the found counterexample
  3468     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  3469   - Added post-processing of terms to obtain readable counterexamples
  3470     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  3471   - New counterexample generator quickcheck[narrowing] enables
  3472     narrowing-based testing.  Requires the Glasgow Haskell compiler
  3473     with its installation location defined in the Isabelle settings
  3474     environment as ISABELLE_GHC.
  3475   - Removed quickcheck tester "SML" based on the SML code generator
  3476     (formly in HOL/Library).
  3477 
  3478 * Function package: discontinued option "tailrec".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  3479 use 'partial_function' instead.
  3480 
  3481 * Theory Library/Extended_Reals replaces now the positive extended
  3482 reals found in probability theory. This file is extended by
  3483 Multivariate_Analysis/Extended_Real_Limits.
  3484 
  3485 * Theory Library/Old_Recdef: old 'recdef' package has been moved here,
  3486 from where it must be imported explicitly if it is really required.
  3487 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3488 
  3489 * Theory Library/Wfrec: well-founded recursion combinator "wfrec" has
  3490 been moved here.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3491 
  3492 * Theory Library/Saturated provides type of numbers with saturated
  3493 arithmetic.
  3494 
  3495 * Theory Library/Product_Lattice defines a pointwise ordering for the
  3496 product type 'a * 'b, and provides instance proofs for various order
  3497 and lattice type classes.
  3498 
  3499 * Theory Library/Countable now provides the "countable_datatype" proof
  3500 method for proving "countable" class instances for datatypes.
  3501 
  3502 * Theory Library/Cset_Monad allows do notation for computable sets
  3503 (cset) via the generic monad ad-hoc overloading facility.
  3504 
  3505 * Library: Theories of common data structures are split into theories
  3506 for implementation, an invariant-ensuring type, and connection to an
  3507 abstract type. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3508 
  3509   - RBT is split into RBT and RBT_Mapping.
  3510   - AssocList is split and renamed into AList and AList_Mapping.
  3511   - DList is split into DList_Impl, DList, and DList_Cset.
  3512   - Cset is split into Cset and List_Cset.
  3513 
  3514 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity has been renamed to
  3515 Library/Extended_Nat, with name changes of the following types and
  3516 constants:
  3517 
  3518   type inat   ~> type enat
  3519   Fin         ~> enat
  3520   Infty       ~> infinity (overloaded)
  3521   iSuc        ~> eSuc
  3522   the_Fin     ~> the_enat
  3523 
  3524 Every theorem name containing "inat", "Fin", "Infty", or "iSuc" has
  3525 been renamed accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3526 
  3527 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: The euclidean_space type class now
  3528 fixes a constant "Basis :: 'a set" consisting of the standard
  3529 orthonormal basis for the type. Users now have the option of
  3530 quantifying over this set instead of using the "basis" function, e.g.
  3531 "ALL x:Basis. P x" vs "ALL i<DIM('a). P (basis i)".
  3532 
  3533 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Type "('a, 'b) cart" has been renamed
  3534 to "('a, 'b) vec" (the syntax "'a ^ 'b" remains unaffected). Constants
  3535 "Cart_nth" and "Cart_lambda" have been respectively renamed to
  3536 "vec_nth" and "vec_lambda"; theorems mentioning those names have
  3537 changed to match. Definition theorems for overloaded constants now use
  3538 the standard "foo_vec_def" naming scheme. A few other theorems have
  3539 been renamed as follows (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  3540 
  3541   Cart_eq          ~> vec_eq_iff
  3542   dist_nth_le_cart ~> dist_vec_nth_le
  3543   tendsto_vector   ~> vec_tendstoI
  3544   Cauchy_vector    ~> vec_CauchyI
  3545 
  3546 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Several duplicate theorems have been
  3547 removed, and other theorems have been renamed or replaced with more
  3548 general versions. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3602 * Session HOL-Probability:
  3603   - Caratheodory's extension lemma is now proved for ring_of_sets.
  3604   - Infinite products of probability measures are now available.
  3605   - Sigma closure is independent, if the generator is independent
  3606   - Use extended reals instead of positive extended
  3607     reals. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3640 * Antiquotation @{rail} layouts railroad syntax diagrams, see also
  3641 isar-ref manual, both for description and actual application of the
  3642 same.
  3643 
  3644 * Antiquotation @{value} evaluates the given term and presents its
  3645 result.
  3646 
  3647 * Antiquotations: term style "isub" provides ad-hoc conversion of
  3648 variables x1, y23 into subscripted form x\<^isub>1,
  3649 y\<^isub>2\<^isub>3.
  3650 
  3651 * Predefined LaTeX macros for Isabelle symbols \<bind> and \<then>
  3652 (e.g. see ~~/src/HOL/Library/Monad_Syntax.thy).
  3653 
  3654 * Localized \isabellestyle switch can be used within blocks or groups
  3655 like this:
  3656 
  3657   \isabellestyle{it}  %preferred default
  3658   {\isabellestylett @{text "typewriter stuff"}}
  3659 
  3660 * Discontinued special treatment of hard tabulators.  Implicit
  3661 tab-width is now defined as 1.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for visual
  3662 layouts.
  3663 
  3664 
  3665 *** ML ***
  3666 
  3667 * The inner syntax of sort/type/term/prop supports inlined YXML
  3668 representations within quoted string tokens.  By encoding logical
  3669 entities via Term_XML (in ML or Scala) concrete syntax can be
  3670 bypassed, which is particularly useful for producing bits of text
  3671 under external program control.
  3672 
  3673 * Antiquotations for ML and document preparation are managed as theory
  3674 data, which requires explicit setup.
  3675 
  3676 * Isabelle_Process.is_active allows tools to check if the official
  3677 process wrapper is running (Isabelle/Scala/jEdit) or the old TTY loop
  3678 (better known as Proof General).
  3679 
  3680 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  3681 ProofContext is still available for some time as legacy alias.
  3682 
  3683 * Structure Timing provides various operations for timing; supersedes
  3684 former start_timing/end_timing etc.
  3685 
  3686 * Path.print is the official way to show file-system paths to users
  3687 (including quotes etc.).
  3688 
  3689 * Inner syntax: identifiers in parse trees of generic categories
  3690 "logic", "aprop", "idt" etc. carry position information (disguised as
  3691 type constraints).  Occasional INCOMPATIBILITY with non-compliant
  3692 translations that choke on unexpected type constraints.  Positions can
  3693 be stripped in ML translations via Syntax.strip_positions /
  3694 Syntax.strip_positions_ast, or via the syntax constant
  3695 "_strip_positions" within parse trees.  As last resort, positions can
  3696 be disabled via the configuration option Syntax.positions, which is
  3697 called "syntax_positions" in Isar attribute syntax.
  3698 
  3699 * Discontinued special status of various ML structures that contribute
  3700 to structure Syntax (Ast, Lexicon, Mixfix, Parser, Printer etc.): less
  3701 pervasive content, no inclusion in structure Syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  3702 refer directly to Ast.Constant, Lexicon.is_identifier,
  3703 Syntax_Trans.mk_binder_tr etc.
  3704 
  3705 * Typed print translation: discontinued show_sorts argument, which is
  3706 already available via context of "advanced" translation.
  3707 
  3708 * Refined PARALLEL_GOALS tactical: degrades gracefully for schematic
  3709 goal states; body tactic needs to address all subgoals uniformly.
  3710 
  3711 * Slightly more special eq_list/eq_set, with shortcut involving
  3712 pointer equality (assumes that eq relation is reflexive).
  3713 
  3714 * Classical tactics use proper Proof.context instead of historic types
  3715 claset/clasimpset.  Old-style declarations like addIs, addEs, addDs
  3716 operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type claset retains its use as
  3717 snapshot of the classical context, which can be recovered via
  3718 (put_claset HOL_cs) etc.  Type clasimpset has been discontinued.
  3719 INCOMPATIBILITY, classical tactics and derived proof methods require
  3720 proper Proof.context.
  3721 
  3722 
  3723 *** System ***
  3724 
  3725 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2, which was the last version
  3726 without proper multithreading and TimeLimit implementation.
  3727 
  3728 * Discontinued old lib/scripts/polyml-platform, which has been
  3729 obsolete since Isabelle2009-2.
  3730 
  3731 * Various optional external tools are referenced more robustly and
  3732 uniformly by explicit Isabelle settings as follows:
  3733 
  3734   ISABELLE_CSDP   (formerly CSDP_EXE)
  3735   ISABELLE_GHC    (formerly EXEC_GHC or GHC_PATH)
  3736   ISABELLE_OCAML  (formerly EXEC_OCAML)
  3737   ISABELLE_SWIPL  (formerly EXEC_SWIPL)
  3738   ISABELLE_YAP    (formerly EXEC_YAP)
  3739 
  3740 Note that automated detection from the file-system or search path has
  3741 been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3742 
  3743 * Scala layer provides JVM method invocation service for static
  3744 methods of type (String)String, see Invoke_Scala.method in ML.  For
  3745 example:
  3746 
  3747   Invoke_Scala.method "java.lang.System.getProperty" "java.home"
  3748 
  3749 Together with YXML.string_of_body/parse_body and XML.Encode/Decode
  3750 this allows to pass structured values between ML and Scala.
  3751 
  3752 * The IsabelleText fonts includes some further glyphs to support the
  3753 Prover IDE.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: users who happen to have
  3754 installed a local copy (which is normally *not* required) need to
  3755 delete or update it from ~~/lib/fonts/.
  3756 
  3757 
  3758 
  3759 New in Isabelle2011 (January 2011)
  3760 ----------------------------------
  3761 
  3762 *** General ***
  3763 
  3764 * Experimental Prover IDE based on Isabelle/Scala and jEdit (see
  3765 src/Tools/jEdit).  This also serves as IDE for Isabelle/ML, with
  3766 useful tooltips and hyperlinks produced from its static analysis.  The
  3767 bundled component provides an executable Isabelle tool that can be run
  3768 like this:
  3769 
  3770   Isabelle2011/bin/isabelle jedit
  3771 
  3772 * Significantly improved Isabelle/Isar implementation manual.
  3773 
  3774 * System settings: ISABELLE_HOME_USER now includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER
  3775 (and thus refers to something like $HOME/.isabelle/Isabelle2011),
  3776 while the default heap location within that directory lacks that extra
  3777 suffix.  This isolates multiple Isabelle installations from each
  3778 other, avoiding problems with old settings in new versions.
  3779 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to copy/upgrade old user settings manually.
  3780 
  3781 * Source files are always encoded as UTF-8, instead of old-fashioned
  3782 ISO-Latin-1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Isabelle LaTeX documents might require
  3783 the following package declarations:
  3784 
  3785   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
  3786   \usepackage{textcomp}
  3787 
  3788 * Explicit treatment of UTF-8 sequences as Isabelle symbols, such that
  3789 a Unicode character is treated as a single symbol, not a sequence of
  3790 non-ASCII bytes as before.  Since Isabelle/ML string literals may
  3791 contain symbols without further backslash escapes, Unicode can now be
  3792 used here as well.  Recall that Symbol.explode in ML provides a
  3793 consistent view on symbols, while raw explode (or String.explode)
  3794 merely give a byte-oriented representation.
  3795 
  3796 * Theory loader: source files are primarily located via the master
  3797 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  3798 The global load path is still partially available as legacy feature.
  3799 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY due to subtle change in file lookup: use
  3800 explicit paths, relatively to the theory.
  3801 
  3802 * Special treatment of ML file names has been discontinued.
  3803 Historically, optional extensions .ML or .sml were added on demand --
  3804 at the cost of clarity of file dependencies.  Recall that Isabelle/ML
  3805 files exclusively use the .ML extension.  Minor INCOMPATIBILTY.
  3806 
  3807 * Various options that affect pretty printing etc. are now properly
  3808 handled within the context via configuration options, instead of
  3809 unsynchronized references or print modes.  There are both ML Config.T
  3810 entities and Isar declaration attributes to access these.
  3811 
  3812   ML (Config.T)                 Isar (attribute)

  3824   Syntax.ambiguity_level        syntax_ambiguity_level
  3825 
  3826   Goal_Display.goals_limit      goals_limit
  3827   Goal_Display.show_main_goal   show_main_goal
  3828 
  3829   Method.rule_trace             rule_trace
  3830

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

  4138     curry ~> Product_Type.curry
  4139     op : ~> Set.member
  4140     Collect ~> Set.Collect
  4141 
  4142 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4143 
  4144 * More canonical naming convention for some fundamental definitions:
  4145 
  4146     bot_bool_eq ~> bot_bool_def
  4147     top_bool_eq ~> top_bool_def
  4148     inf_bool_eq ~> inf_bool_def
  4149     sup_bool_eq ~> sup_bool_def
  4150     bot_fun_eq  ~> bot_fun_def
  4151     top_fun_eq  ~> top_fun_def
  4152     inf_fun_eq  ~> inf_fun_def
  4153     sup_fun_eq  ~> sup_fun_def
  4154 
  4155 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4156 
  4157 * More stylized fact names:
  4158 
  4159   expand_fun_eq ~> fun_eq_iff
  4160   expand_set_eq ~> set_eq_iff
  4161   set_ext       ~> set_eqI
  4162   nat_number    ~> eval_nat_numeral
  4163 
  4164 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4165 
  4166 * Refactoring of code-generation specific operations in theory List:
  4167 
  4168   constants
  4169     null ~> List.null
  4170 
  4171   facts
  4172     mem_iff ~> member_def
  4173     null_empty ~> null_def
  4174 
  4175 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that these were not supposed to be used
  4176 regularly unless for striking reasons; their main purpose was code
  4177 generation.
  4178 
  4179 Various operations from the Haskell prelude are used for generating
  4180 Haskell code.
  4181 
  4182 * Term "bij f" is now an abbreviation of "bij_betw f UNIV UNIV".  Term
  4183 "surj f" is now an abbreviation of "range f = UNIV".  The theorems
  4184 bij_def and surj_def are unchanged.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4185 
  4186 * Abolished some non-alphabetic type names: "prod" and "sum" replace
  4187 "*" and "+" respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4188 
  4189 * Name "Plus" of disjoint sum operator "<+>" is now hidden.  Write
  4190 "Sum_Type.Plus" instead.
  4191 
  4192 * Constant "split" has been merged with constant "prod_case"; names of
  4193 ML functions, facts etc. involving split have been retained so far,
  4194 though.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4195 
  4196 * Dropped old infix syntax "_ mem _" for List.member; use "_ : set _"
  4197 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4198 
  4199 * Removed lemma "Option.is_none_none" which duplicates "is_none_def".
  4200 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4201 
  4202 * Former theory Library/Enum is now part of the HOL-Main image.
  4203 INCOMPATIBILITY: all constants of the Enum theory now have to be
  4204 referred to by its qualified name.
  4205 
  4206   enum    ~>  Enum.enum
  4207   nlists  ~>  Enum.nlists
  4208   product ~>  Enum.product
  4209 
  4210 * Theory Library/Monad_Syntax provides do-syntax for monad types.
  4211 Syntax in Library/State_Monad has been changed to avoid ambiguities.
  4212 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4213 
  4214 * Theory Library/SetsAndFunctions has been split into
  4215 Library/Function_Algebras and Library/Set_Algebras; canonical names
  4216 for instance definitions for functions; various improvements.
  4217 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4218 
  4219 * Theory Library/Multiset provides stable quicksort implementation of
  4220 sort_key.
  4221 
  4222 * Theory Library/Multiset: renamed empty_idemp ~> empty_neutral.
  4223 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4224 
  4225 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: introduced a type class for euclidean
  4226 space.  Most theorems are now stated in terms of euclidean spaces
  4227 instead of finite cartesian products.
  4228 
  4229   types
  4230     real ^ 'n ~>  'a::real_vector
  4231               ~>  'a::euclidean_space
  4232               ~>  'a::ordered_euclidean_space
  4233         (depends on your needs)
  4234 
  4235   constants
  4236      _ $ _        ~> _ $$ _
  4237      \<chi> x. _  ~> \<chi>\<chi> x. _
  4238      CARD('n)     ~> DIM('a)
  4239 
  4240 Also note that the indices are now natural numbers and not from some
  4241 finite type. Finite cartesian products of euclidean spaces, products
  4242 of euclidean spaces the real and complex numbers are instantiated to
  4243 be euclidean_spaces.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4244 
  4245 * Session Probability: introduced pextreal as positive extended real
  4246 numbers.  Use pextreal as value for measures.  Introduce the
  4247 Radon-Nikodym derivative, product spaces and Fubini's theorem for
  4248 arbitrary sigma finite measures.  Introduces Lebesgue measure based on
  4249 the integral in Multivariate Analysis.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4250 
  4251 * Session Imperative_HOL: revamped, corrected dozens of inadequacies.
  4252 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4253 
  4254 * Session SPARK (with image HOL-SPARK) provides commands to load and
  4255 prove verification conditions generated by the SPARK Ada program
  4256 verifier.  See also src/HOL/SPARK and src/HOL/SPARK/Examples.
  4257 
  4258 
  4259 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  4260 
  4261 * Theorems for additive ring operations (locale abelian_monoid and
  4262 descendants) are generated by interpretation from their multiplicative
  4263 counterparts.  Names (in particular theorem names) have the mandatory
  4264 qualifier 'add'.  Previous theorem names are redeclared for
  4265 compatibility.
  4266 
  4267 * Structure "int_ring" is now an abbreviation (previously a
  4268 definition).  This fits more natural with advanced interpretations.
  4269 
  4270 
  4271 *** HOLCF ***
  4272 
  4273 * The domain package now runs in definitional mode by default: The
  4274 former command 'new_domain' is now called 'domain'.  To use the domain
  4275 package in its original axiomatic mode, use 'domain (unsafe)'.
  4276 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4277 
  4278 * The new class "domain" is now the default sort.  Class "predomain"
  4279 is an unpointed version of "domain". Theories can be updated by
  4280 replacing sort annotations as shown below.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4281 
  4282   'a::type ~> 'a::countable
  4283   'a::cpo  ~> 'a::predomain
  4284   'a::pcpo ~> 'a::domain
  4285 
  4286 * The old type class "rep" has been superseded by class "domain".
  4287 Accordingly, users of the definitional package must remove any
  4288 "default_sort rep" declarations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4289 
  4290 * The domain package (definitional mode) now supports unpointed
  4291 predomain argument types, as long as they are marked 'lazy'. (Strict
  4292 arguments must be in class "domain".) For example, the following
  4293 domain definition now works:
  4294 
  4295   domain natlist = nil | cons (lazy "nat discr") (lazy "natlist")
  4296 
  4297 * Theory HOLCF/Library/HOL_Cpo provides cpo and predomain class
  4298 instances for types from main HOL: bool, nat, int, char, 'a + 'b,
  4299 'a option, and 'a list.  Additionally, it configures fixrec and the
  4300 domain package to work with these types.  For example:
  4301 
  4302   fixrec isInl :: "('a + 'b) u -> tr"
  4303     where "isInl$(up$(Inl x)) = TT" | "isInl$(up$(Inr y)) = FF"
  4304 
  4305   domain V = VFun (lazy "V -> V") | VCon (lazy "nat") (lazy "V list")
  4306 
  4307 * The "(permissive)" option of fixrec has been replaced with a
  4308 per-equation "(unchecked)" option. See
  4309 src/HOL/HOLCF/Tutorial/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4310 
  4311 * The "bifinite" class no longer fixes a constant "approx"; the class
  4312 now just asserts that such a function exists.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4313 
  4314 * Former type "alg_defl" has been renamed to "defl".  HOLCF no longer
  4315 defines an embedding of type 'a defl into udom by default; instances
  4316 of "bifinite" and "domain" classes are available in
  4317 src/HOL/HOLCF/Library/Defl_Bifinite.thy.
  4318 
  4319 * The syntax "REP('a)" has been replaced with "DEFL('a)".
  4320 
  4321 * The predicate "directed" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4322 
  4323 * The type class "finite_po" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4324 
  4325 * The function "cprod_map" has been renamed to "prod_map".
  4326 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4327 
  4328 * The monadic bind operator on each powerdomain has new binder syntax
  4329 similar to sets, e.g. "\<Union>\<sharp>x\<in>xs. t" represents
  4330 "upper_bind\<cdot>xs\<cdot>(\<Lambda> x. t)".
  4331 
  4332 * The infix syntax for binary union on each powerdomain has changed
  4333 from e.g. "+\<sharp>" to "\<union>\<sharp>", for consistency with set
  4334 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4335 
  4336 * The constant "UU" has been renamed to "bottom".  The syntax "UU" is
  4337 still supported as an input translation.
  4338 
  4339 * Renamed some theorems (the original names are also still available).
  4340 
  4341   expand_fun_below   ~> fun_below_iff
  4342   below_fun_ext      ~> fun_belowI
  4343   expand_cfun_eq     ~> cfun_eq_iff
  4344   ext_cfun           ~> cfun_eqI
  4345   expand_cfun_below  ~> cfun_below_iff
  4346   below_cfun_ext     ~> cfun_belowI
  4347   cont2cont_Rep_CFun ~> cont2cont_APP
  4348 
  4349 * The Abs and Rep functions for various types have changed names.
  4350 Related theorem names have also changed to match. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4351 
  4352   Rep_CFun  ~> Rep_cfun
  4353   Abs_CFun  ~> Abs_cfun
  4354   Rep_Sprod ~> Rep_sprod
  4355   Abs_Sprod ~> Abs_sprod
  4356   Rep_Ssum  ~> Rep_ssum
  4357   Abs_Ssum  ~> Abs_ssum
  4358 
  4359 * Lemmas with names of the form *_defined_iff or *_strict_iff have
  4360 been renamed to *_bottom_iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4361 
  4362 * Various changes to bisimulation/coinduction with domain package:
  4363 
  4364   - Definitions of "bisim" constants no longer mention definedness.
  4365   - With mutual recursion, "bisim" predicate is now curried.
  4366   - With mutual recursion, each type gets a separate coind theorem.
  4367   - Variable names in bisim_def and coinduct rules have changed.
  4368 
  4369 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4370 
  4371 * Case combinators generated by the domain package for type "foo" are
  4372 now named "foo_case" instead of "foo_when".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4373 
  4374 * Several theorems have been renamed to more accurately reflect the
  4375 names of constants and types involved.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4447 *** FOL and ZF ***
  4448 
  4449 * All constant names are now qualified internally and use proper
  4450 identifiers, e.g. "IFOL.eq" instead of "op =".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4451 
  4452 
  4453 *** ML ***
  4454 
  4455 * Antiquotation @{assert} inlines a function bool -> unit that raises
  4456 Fail if the argument is false.  Due to inlining the source position of
  4457 failed assertions is included in the error output.
  4458 
  4459 * Discontinued antiquotation @{theory_ref}, which is obsolete since ML
  4460 text is in practice always evaluated with a stable theory checkpoint.
  4461 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use (Theory.check_thy @{theory}) instead.
  4462 
  4463 * Antiquotation @{theory A} refers to theory A from the ancestry of
  4464 the current context, not any accidental theory loader state as before.
  4465 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, subtle change in semantics.
  4466 
  4467 * Syntax.pretty_priority (default 0) configures the required priority
  4468 of pretty-printed output and thus affects insertion of parentheses.
  4469 
  4470 * Syntax.default_root (default "any") configures the inner syntax
  4471 category (nonterminal symbol) for parsing of terms.
  4472 
  4473 * Former exception Library.UnequalLengths now coincides with
  4474 ListPair.UnequalLengths.
  4475 
  4476 * Renamed structure MetaSimplifier to Raw_Simplifier.  Note that the
  4477 main functionality is provided by structure Simplifier.
  4478 
  4479 * Renamed raw "explode" function to "raw_explode" to emphasize its
  4480 meaning.  Note that internally to Isabelle, Symbol.explode is used in
  4481 almost all situations.
  4482 
  4483 * Discontinued obsolete function sys_error and exception SYS_ERROR.
  4484 See implementation manual for further details on exceptions in
  4485 Isabelle/ML.
  4486 
  4487 * Renamed setmp_noncritical to Unsynchronized.setmp to emphasize its
  4488 meaning.
  4489 
  4490 * Renamed structure PureThy to Pure_Thy and moved most of its
  4491 operations to structure Global_Theory, to emphasize that this is
  4492 rarely-used global-only stuff.
  4493 
  4494 * Discontinued Output.debug.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use plain writeln
  4495 instead (or tracing for high-volume output).
  4496 
  4497 * Configuration option show_question_marks only affects regular pretty
  4498 printing of types and terms, not raw Term.string_of_vname.
  4499 
  4500 * ML_Context.thm and ML_Context.thms are no longer pervasive.  Rare
  4501 INCOMPATIBILITY, superseded by static antiquotations @{thm} and
  4502 @{thms} for most purposes.
  4503 
  4504 * ML structure Unsynchronized is never opened, not even in Isar
  4505 interaction mode as before.  Old Unsynchronized.set etc. have been
  4506 discontinued -- use plain := instead.  This should be *rare* anyway,
  4507 since modern tools always work via official context data, notably
  4508 configuration options.
  4509 
  4510 * Parallel and asynchronous execution requires special care concerning
  4511 interrupts.  Structure Exn provides some convenience functions that
  4512 avoid working directly with raw Interrupt.  User code must not absorb
  4513 interrupts -- intermediate handling (for cleanup etc.) needs to be
  4514 followed by re-raising of the original exception.  Another common
  4515 source of mistakes are "handle _" patterns, which make the meaning of
  4516 the program subject to physical effects of the environment.

  4519 
  4520 New in Isabelle2009-2 (June 2010)
  4521 ---------------------------------
  4522 
  4523 *** General ***
  4524 
  4525 * Authentic syntax for *all* logical entities (type classes, type
  4526 constructors, term constants): provides simple and robust
  4527 correspondence between formal entities and concrete syntax.  Within
  4528 the parse tree / AST representations, "constants" are decorated by
  4529 their category (class, type, const) and spelled out explicitly with
  4530 their full internal name.
  4531 
  4532 Substantial INCOMPATIBILITY concerning low-level syntax declarations
  4533 and translations (translation rules and translation functions in ML).
  4534 Some hints on upgrading:
  4535 
  4536   - Many existing uses of 'syntax' and 'translations' can be replaced
  4537     by more modern 'type_notation', 'notation' and 'abbreviation',
  4538     which are independent of this issue.
  4539 
  4540   - 'translations' require markup within the AST; the term syntax
  4541     provides the following special forms:
  4542 
  4543       CONST c   -- produces syntax version of constant c from context
  4544       XCONST c  -- literally c, checked as constant from context
  4545       c         -- literally c, if declared by 'syntax'
  4546 
  4547     Plain identifiers are treated as AST variables -- occasionally the
  4548     system indicates accidental variables via the error "rhs contains
  4549     extra variables".
  4550 
  4551     Type classes and type constructors are marked according to their
  4552     concrete syntax.  Some old translations rules need to be written
  4553     for the "type" category, using type constructor application
  4554     instead of pseudo-term application of the default category
  4555     "logic".
  4556 
  4557   - 'parse_translation' etc. in ML may use the following
  4558     antiquotations:
  4559 
  4560       @{class_syntax c}   -- type class c within parse tree / AST
  4561       @{term_syntax c}    -- type constructor c within parse tree / AST
  4562       @{const_syntax c}   -- ML version of "CONST c" above
  4563       @{syntax_const c}   -- literally c (checked wrt. 'syntax' declarations)
  4564 
  4565   - Literal types within 'typed_print_translations', i.e. those *not*
  4566     represented as pseudo-terms are represented verbatim.  Use @{class
  4567     c} or @{type_name c} here instead of the above syntax
  4568     antiquotations.
  4569 
  4570 Note that old non-authentic syntax was based on unqualified base
  4571 names, so all of the above "constant" names would coincide.  Recall
  4572 that 'print_syntax' and ML_command "set Syntax.trace_ast" help to
  4573 diagnose syntax problems.
  4574 
  4575 * Type constructors admit general mixfix syntax, not just infix.
  4576 
  4577 * Concrete syntax may be attached to local entities without a proof
  4578 body, too.  This works via regular mixfix annotations for 'fix',
  4579 'def', 'obtain' etc. or via the explicit 'write' command, which is
  4580 similar to the 'notation' command in theory specifications.
  4581 
  4582 * Discontinued unnamed infix syntax (legacy feature for many years) --
  4583 need to specify constant name and syntax separately.  Internal ML
  4584 datatype constructors have been renamed from InfixName to Infix etc.
  4585 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4586 
  4587 * Schematic theorem statements need to be explicitly markup as such,
  4588 via commands 'schematic_lemma', 'schematic_theorem',
  4589 'schematic_corollary'.  Thus the relevance of the proof is made
  4590 syntactically clear, which impacts performance in a parallel or
  4591 asynchronous interactive environment.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4592 
  4593 * Use of cumulative prems via "!" in some proof methods has been
  4594 discontinued (old legacy feature).
  4595 
  4596 * References 'trace_simp' and 'debug_simp' have been replaced by
  4597 configuration options stored in the context. Enabling tracing (the
  4598 case of debugging is similar) in proofs works via
  4599 
  4600   using [[trace_simp = true]]
  4601 
  4602 Tracing is then active for all invocations of the simplifier in
  4603 subsequent goal refinement steps. Tracing may also still be enabled or
  4604 disabled via the ProofGeneral settings menu.
  4605 
  4606 * Separate commands 'hide_class', 'hide_type', 'hide_const',
  4607 'hide_fact' replace the former 'hide' KIND command.  Minor
  4608 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4609 
  4610 * Improved parallelism of proof term normalization: usedir -p2 -q0 is
  4611 more efficient than combinations with -q1 or -q2.
  4612 
  4613 
  4614 *** Pure ***
  4615 
  4616 * Proofterms record type-class reasoning explicitly, using the
  4617 "unconstrain" operation internally.  This eliminates all sort
  4618 constraints from a theorem and proof, introducing explicit
  4619 OFCLASS-premises.  On the proof term level, this operation is
  4620 automatically applied at theorem boundaries, such that closed proofs
  4621 are always free of sort constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools that
  4622 inspect proof terms.
  4623 
  4624 * Local theory specifications may depend on extra type variables that
  4625 are not present in the result type -- arguments TYPE('a) :: 'a itself
  4626 are added internally.  For example:
  4627 
  4628   definition unitary :: bool where "unitary = (ALL (x::'a) y. x = y)"
  4629 
  4630 * Predicates of locales introduced by classes carry a mandatory
  4631 "class" prefix.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4632 
  4633 * Vacuous class specifications observe default sort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4634 
  4635 * Old 'axclass' command has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  4636 'class' instead.
  4637 
  4638 * Command 'code_reflect' allows to incorporate generated ML code into
  4639 runtime environment; replaces immature code_datatype antiquotation.
  4640 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4641 
  4642 * Code generator: simple concept for abstract datatypes obeying
  4643 invariants.
  4644 
  4645 * Code generator: details of internal data cache have no impact on the
  4646 user space functionality any longer.
  4647 
  4648 * Methods "unfold_locales" and "intro_locales" ignore non-locale
  4649 subgoals.  This is more appropriate for interpretations with 'where'.
  4650 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4651 
  4652 * Command 'example_proof' opens an empty proof body.  This allows to
  4653 experiment with Isar, without producing any persistent result.
  4654 
  4655 * Commands 'type_notation' and 'no_type_notation' declare type syntax
  4656 within a local theory context, with explicit checking of the
  4657 constructors involved (in contrast to the raw 'syntax' versions).
  4658 
  4659 * Commands 'types' and 'typedecl' now work within a local theory
  4660 context -- without introducing dependencies on parameters or
  4661 assumptions, which is not possible in Isabelle/Pure.
  4662 
  4663 * Command 'defaultsort' has been renamed to 'default_sort', it works
  4664 within a local theory context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4665 
  4666 
  4667 *** HOL ***
  4668 
  4669 * Command 'typedef' now works within a local theory context -- without
  4670 introducing dependencies on parameters or assumptions, which is not
  4671 possible in Isabelle/Pure/HOL.  Note that the logical environment may
  4672 contain multiple interpretations of local typedefs (with different
  4673 non-emptiness proofs), even in a global theory context.
  4674 
  4675 * New package for quotient types.  Commands 'quotient_type' and
  4676 'quotient_definition' may be used for defining types and constants by
  4677 quotient constructions.  An example is the type of integers created by
  4678 quotienting pairs of natural numbers:
  4679 
  4680   fun
  4681     intrel :: "(nat * nat) => (nat * nat) => bool"
  4682   where
  4683     "intrel (x, y) (u, v) = (x + v = u + y)"
  4684 
  4685   quotient_type int = "nat * nat" / intrel
  4686     by (auto simp add: equivp_def expand_fun_eq)
  4687 
  4688   quotient_definition
  4689     "0::int" is "(0::nat, 0::nat)"
  4690 
  4691 The method "lifting" can be used to lift of theorems from the
  4692 underlying "raw" type to the quotient type.  The example
  4693 src/HOL/Quotient_Examples/FSet.thy includes such a quotient
  4694 construction and provides a reasoning infrastructure for finite sets.
  4695 
  4696 * Renamed Library/Quotient.thy to Library/Quotient_Type.thy to avoid
  4697 clash with new theory Quotient in Main HOL.
  4698 
  4699 * Moved the SMT binding into the main HOL session, eliminating
  4700 separate HOL-SMT session.
  4701 
  4702 * List membership infix mem operation is only an input abbreviation.
  4703 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4704 
  4705 * Theory Library/Word.thy has been removed.  Use library Word/Word.thy
  4706 for future developements; former Library/Word.thy is still present in
  4707 the AFP entry RSAPPS.
  4708 
  4709 * Theorem Int.int_induct renamed to Int.int_of_nat_induct and is no
  4710 longer shadowed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4711 
  4712 * Dropped theorem duplicate comp_arith; use semiring_norm instead.
  4713 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4714 
  4715 * Dropped theorem RealPow.real_sq_order; use power2_le_imp_le instead.
  4716 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4717 
  4718 * Dropped normalizing_semiring etc; use the facts in semiring classes
  4719 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4720 
  4721 * Dropped several real-specific versions of lemmas about floor and
  4722 ceiling; use the generic lemmas from theory "Archimedean_Field"
  4723 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4755 
  4756 * Theory "Finite_Set": various folding_XXX locales facilitate the
  4757 application of the various fold combinators on finite sets.
  4758 
  4759 * Library theory "RBT" renamed to "RBT_Impl"; new library theory "RBT"
  4760 provides abstract red-black tree type which is backed by "RBT_Impl" as
  4761 implementation.  INCOMPATIBILTY.
  4762 
  4763 * Theory Library/Coinductive_List has been removed -- superseded by
  4764 AFP/thys/Coinductive.
  4765 
  4766 * Theory PReal, including the type "preal" and related operations, has
  4767 been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4768 
  4769 * Real: new development using Cauchy Sequences.
  4770 
  4771 * Split off theory "Big_Operators" containing setsum, setprod,
  4772 Inf_fin, Sup_fin, Min, Max from theory Finite_Set.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4773 
  4774 * Theory "Rational" renamed to "Rat", for consistency with "Nat",
  4775 "Int" etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4776 
  4777 * Constant Rat.normalize needs to be qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4778 
  4779 * New set of rules "ac_simps" provides combined assoc / commute
  4780 rewrites for all interpretations of the appropriate generic locales.
  4781 
  4782 * Renamed theory "OrderedGroup" to "Groups" and split theory
  4783 "Ring_and_Field" into theories "Rings" and "Fields"; for more
  4784 appropriate and more consistent names suitable for name prefixes
  4785 within the HOL theories.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4786 
  4787 * Some generic constants have been put to appropriate theories:
  4788   - less_eq, less: Orderings
  4789   - zero, one, plus, minus, uminus, times, abs, sgn: Groups
  4790   - inverse, divide: Rings
  4791 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4792 
  4793 * More consistent naming of type classes involving orderings (and
  4794 lattices):
  4795 
  4796     lower_semilattice                   ~> semilattice_inf
  4797     upper_semilattice                   ~> semilattice_sup

  4832     ordered_semiring_strict             ~> linordered_semiring_strict
  4833 
  4834   The following slightly odd type classes have been moved to a
  4835   separate theory Library/Lattice_Algebras:
  4836 
  4837     lordered_ab_group_add               ~> lattice_ab_group_add
  4838     lordered_ab_group_add_abs           ~> lattice_ab_group_add_abs
  4839     lordered_ab_group_add_meet          ~> semilattice_inf_ab_group_add
  4840     lordered_ab_group_add_join          ~> semilattice_sup_ab_group_add
  4841     lordered_ring                       ~> lattice_ring
  4842 
  4843 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4844 
  4845 * Refined field classes:
  4846   - classes division_ring_inverse_zero, field_inverse_zero,
  4847     linordered_field_inverse_zero include rule inverse 0 = 0 --
  4848     subsumes former division_by_zero class;
  4849   - numerous lemmas have been ported from field to division_ring.
  4850 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4851 
  4852 * Refined algebra theorem collections:
  4853   - dropped theorem group group_simps, use algebra_simps instead;
  4854   - dropped theorem group ring_simps, use field_simps instead;
  4855   - proper theorem collection field_simps subsumes former theorem
  4856     groups field_eq_simps and field_simps;
  4857   - dropped lemma eq_minus_self_iff which is a duplicate for
  4858     equal_neg_zero.
  4859 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4860 
  4861 * Theory Finite_Set and List: some lemmas have been generalized from
  4862 sets to lattices:
  4863 
  4864   fun_left_comm_idem_inter      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_inf
  4865   fun_left_comm_idem_union      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_sup
  4866   inter_Inter_fold_inter        ~> inf_Inf_fold_inf

  4872   INTER_fold_inter              ~> INFI_fold_inf
  4873   UNION_fold_union              ~> SUPR_fold_sup
  4874 
  4875 * Theory "Complete_Lattice": lemmas top_def and bot_def have been
  4876 replaced by the more convenient lemmas Inf_empty and Sup_empty.
  4877 Dropped lemmas Inf_insert_simp and Sup_insert_simp, which are subsumed
  4878 by Inf_insert and Sup_insert.  Lemmas Inf_UNIV and Sup_UNIV replace
  4879 former Inf_Univ and Sup_Univ.  Lemmas inf_top_right and sup_bot_right
  4880 subsume inf_top and sup_bot respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4881 
  4882 * Reorganized theory Multiset: swapped notation of pointwise and
  4883 multiset order:
  4884 
  4885   - pointwise ordering is instance of class order with standard syntax
  4886     <= and <;
  4887   - multiset ordering has syntax <=# and <#; partial order properties
  4888     are provided by means of interpretation with prefix
  4889     multiset_order;
  4890   - less duplication, less historical organization of sections,
  4891     conversion from associations lists to multisets, rudimentary code
  4892     generation;
  4893   - use insert_DiffM2 [symmetric] instead of elem_imp_eq_diff_union,
  4894     if needed.
  4895 
  4896 Renamed:
  4897 
  4898   multiset_eq_conv_count_eq  ~>  multiset_ext_iff
  4899   multi_count_ext  ~>  multiset_ext
  4900   diff_union_inverse2  ~>  diff_union_cancelR
  4901 
  4902 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4903 
  4904 * Theory Permutation: replaced local "remove" by List.remove1.
  4905 
  4906 * Code generation: ML and OCaml code is decorated with signatures.
  4907 
  4908 * Theory List: added transpose.
  4909 
  4910 * Library/Nat_Bijection.thy is a collection of bijective functions
  4911 between nat and other types, which supersedes the older libraries
  4912 Library/Nat_Int_Bij.thy and HOLCF/NatIso.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4942   Nat_Int_Bij.bij_int_to_nat_bij  ~> bij_int_decode
  4943 
  4944 * Sledgehammer:
  4945   - Renamed ATP commands:
  4946     atp_info     ~> sledgehammer running_atps
  4947     atp_kill     ~> sledgehammer kill_atps
  4948     atp_messages ~> sledgehammer messages
  4949     atp_minimize ~> sledgehammer minimize
  4950     print_atps   ~> sledgehammer available_atps
  4951     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4952   - Added user's manual ("isabelle doc sledgehammer").
  4953   - Added option syntax and "sledgehammer_params" to customize
  4954     Sledgehammer's behavior.  See the manual for details.
  4955   - Modified the Isar proof reconstruction code so that it produces
  4956     direct proofs rather than proofs by contradiction.  (This feature
  4957     is still experimental.)
  4958   - Made Isar proof reconstruction work for SPASS, remote ATPs, and in
  4959     full-typed mode.
  4960   - Added support for TPTP syntax for SPASS via the "spass_tptp" ATP.
  4961 
  4962 * Nitpick:
  4963   - Added and implemented "binary_ints" and "bits" options.
  4964   - Added "std" option and implemented support for nonstandard models.
  4965   - Added and implemented "finitize" option to improve the precision
  4966     of infinite datatypes based on a monotonicity analysis.
  4967   - Added support for quotient types.
  4968   - Added support for "specification" and "ax_specification"
  4969     constructs.
  4970   - Added support for local definitions (for "function" and
  4971     "termination" proofs).
  4972   - Added support for term postprocessors.
  4973   - Optimized "Multiset.multiset" and "FinFun.finfun".
  4974   - Improved efficiency of "destroy_constrs" optimization.
  4975   - Fixed soundness bugs related to "destroy_constrs" optimization and
  4976     record getters.
  4977   - Fixed soundness bug related to higher-order constructors.
  4978   - Fixed soundness bug when "full_descrs" is enabled.
  4979   - Improved precision of set constructs.
  4980   - Added "atoms" option.
  4981   - Added cache to speed up repeated Kodkod invocations on the same
  4982     problems.
  4983   - Renamed "MiniSatJNI", "zChaffJNI", "BerkMinAlloy", and
  4984     "SAT4JLight" to "MiniSat_JNI", "zChaff_JNI", "BerkMin_Alloy", and
  4985     "SAT4J_Light".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4986   - Removed "skolemize", "uncurry", "sym_break", "flatten_prop",
  4987     "sharing_depth", and "show_skolems" options.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4988   - Removed "nitpick_intro" attribute.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4989 
  4990 * Method "induct" now takes instantiations of the form t, where t is not
  4991   a variable, as a shorthand for "x == t", where x is a fresh variable.
  4992   If this is not intended, t has to be enclosed in parentheses.
  4993   By default, the equalities generated by definitional instantiations
  4994   are pre-simplified, which may cause parameters of inductive cases
  4995   to disappear, or may even delete some of the inductive cases.
  4996   Use "induct (no_simp)" instead of "induct" to restore the old
  4997   behaviour. The (no_simp) option is also understood by the "cases"
  4998   and "nominal_induct" methods, which now perform pre-simplification, too.
  4999   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5000 
  5001 
  5002 *** HOLCF ***
  5003 
  5004 * Variable names in lemmas generated by the domain package have
  5005 changed; the naming scheme is now consistent with the HOL datatype
  5006 package.  Some proof scripts may be affected, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5007 
  5008 * The domain package no longer defines the function "foo_copy" for
  5009 recursive domain "foo".  The reach lemma is now stated directly in
  5010 terms of "foo_take".  Lemmas and proofs that mention "foo_copy" must
  5011 be reformulated in terms of "foo_take", INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5012 
  5013 * Most definedness lemmas generated by the domain package (previously
  5014 of the form "x ~= UU ==> foo$x ~= UU") now have an if-and-only-if form
  5015 like "foo$x = UU <-> x = UU", which works better as a simp rule.
  5016 Proofs that used definedness lemmas as intro rules may break,
  5017 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5018 
  5019 * Induction and casedist rules generated by the domain package now
  5020 declare proper case_names (one called "bottom", and one named for each
  5021 constructor).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5022 
  5023 * For mutually-recursive domains, separate "reach" and "take_lemma"
  5024 rules are generated for each domain, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5025 
  5026   foo_bar.reach       ~> foo.reach  bar.reach
  5027   foo_bar.take_lemmas ~> foo.take_lemma  bar.take_lemma
  5028 
  5029 * Some lemmas generated by the domain package have been renamed for
  5030 consistency with the datatype package, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5031 
  5032   foo.ind        ~> foo.induct
  5033   foo.finite_ind ~> foo.finite_induct
  5034   foo.coind      ~> foo.coinduct
  5035   foo.casedist   ~> foo.exhaust
  5036   foo.exhaust    ~> foo.nchotomy
  5037 
  5038 * For consistency with other definition packages, the fixrec package
  5039 now generates qualified theorem names, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5040 
  5041   foo_simps  ~> foo.simps
  5042   foo_unfold ~> foo.unfold
  5043   foo_induct ~> foo.induct
  5044 
  5045 * The "fixrec_simp" attribute has been removed.  The "fixrec_simp"
  5046 method and internal fixrec proofs now use the default simpset instead.
  5047 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5048 
  5049 * The "contlub" predicate has been removed.  Proof scripts should use
  5050 lemma contI2 in place of monocontlub2cont, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5051 
  5052 * The "admw" predicate has been removed, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5053 
  5054 * The constants cpair, cfst, and csnd have been removed in favor of
  5055 Pair, fst, and snd from Isabelle/HOL, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5056 
  5057 
  5058 *** ML ***
  5059 
  5060 * Antiquotations for basic formal entities:
  5061 
  5062     @{class NAME}         -- type class
  5063     @{class_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of the above
  5064 
  5065     @{type_name NAME}     -- logical type
  5066     @{type_abbrev NAME}   -- type abbreviation
  5067     @{nonterminal NAME}   -- type of concrete syntactic category
  5068     @{type_syntax NAME}   -- syntax representation of any of the above
  5069 
  5070     @{const_name NAME}    -- logical constant (INCOMPATIBILITY)
  5071     @{const_abbrev NAME}  -- abbreviated constant
  5072     @{const_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of any of the above
  5073 
  5074 * Antiquotation @{syntax_const NAME} ensures that NAME refers to a raw
  5075 syntax constant (cf. 'syntax' command).
  5076 
  5077 * Antiquotation @{make_string} inlines a function to print arbitrary
  5078 values similar to the ML toplevel.  The result is compiler dependent
  5079 and may fall back on "?" in certain situations.
  5080 
  5081 * Diagnostic commands 'ML_val' and 'ML_command' may refer to
  5082 antiquotations @{Isar.state} and @{Isar.goal}.  This replaces impure
  5083 Isar.state() and Isar.goal(), which belong to the old TTY loop and do
  5084 not work with the asynchronous Isar document model.
  5085 
  5086 * Configuration options now admit dynamic default values, depending on
  5087 the context or even global references.
  5088 
  5089 * SHA1.digest digests strings according to SHA-1 (see RFC 3174).  It
  5090 uses an efficient external library if available (for Poly/ML).
  5091 
  5092 * Renamed some important ML structures, while keeping the old names
  5093 for some time as aliases within the structure Legacy:
  5094 
  5095   OuterKeyword  ~>  Keyword
  5096   OuterLex      ~>  Token
  5097   OuterParse    ~>  Parse
  5098   OuterSyntax   ~>  Outer_Syntax
  5099   PrintMode     ~>  Print_Mode
  5100   SpecParse     ~>  Parse_Spec
  5101   ThyInfo       ~>  Thy_Info
  5102   ThyLoad       ~>  Thy_Load
  5103   ThyOutput     ~>  Thy_Output
  5104   TypeInfer     ~>  Type_Infer
  5105 
  5106 Note that "open Legacy" simplifies porting of sources, but forgetting
  5107 to remove it again will complicate porting again in the future.
  5108 
  5109 * Most operations that refer to a global context are named
  5110 accordingly, e.g. Simplifier.global_context or
  5111 ProofContext.init_global.  There are some situations where a global
  5112 context actually works, but under normal circumstances one needs to
  5113 pass the proper local context through the code!
  5114 
  5115 * Discontinued old TheoryDataFun with its copy/init operation -- data
  5116 needs to be pure.  Functor Theory_Data_PP retains the traditional
  5117 Pretty.pp argument to merge, which is absent in the standard
  5118 Theory_Data version.
  5119 
  5120 * Sorts.certify_sort and derived "cert" operations for types and terms
  5121 no longer minimize sorts.  Thus certification at the boundary of the
  5122 inference kernel becomes invariant under addition of class relations,
  5123 which is an important monotonicity principle.  Sorts are now minimized
  5124 in the syntax layer only, at the boundary between the end-user and the
  5125 system.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY, may have to use Sign.minimize_sort
  5126 explicitly in rare situations.
  5127 
  5128 * Renamed old-style Drule.standard to Drule.export_without_context, to
  5129 emphasize that this is in no way a standard operation.
  5130 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5131 
  5132 * Subgoal.FOCUS (and variants): resulting goal state is normalized as
  5133 usual for resolution.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5134 
  5135 * Renamed varify/unvarify operations to varify_global/unvarify_global
  5136 to emphasize that these only work in a global situation (which is
  5137 quite rare).
  5138 
  5139 * Curried take and drop in library.ML; negative length is interpreted
  5140 as infinity (as in chop).  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5141 
  5142 * Proof terms: type substitutions on proof constants now use canonical
  5143 order of type variables.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools working with proof
  5144 terms.
  5145 
  5146 * Raw axioms/defs may no longer carry sort constraints, and raw defs
  5147 may no longer carry premises.  User-level specifications are
  5148 transformed accordingly by Thm.add_axiom/add_def.
  5149 
  5150 
  5151 *** System ***
  5152 
  5153 * Discontinued special HOL_USEDIR_OPTIONS for the main HOL image;
  5154 ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS applies uniformly to all sessions.  Note that
  5155 proof terms are enabled unconditionally in the new HOL-Proofs image.
  5156 
  5157 * Discontinued old ISABELLE and ISATOOL environment settings (legacy
  5158 feature since Isabelle2009).  Use ISABELLE_PROCESS and ISABELLE_TOOL,
  5159 respectively.
  5160 
  5161 * Old lib/scripts/polyml-platform is superseded by the
  5162 ISABELLE_PLATFORM setting variable, which defaults to the 32 bit
  5163 variant, even on a 64 bit machine.  The following example setting
  5164 prefers 64 bit if available:
  5165 
  5166   ML_PLATFORM="${ISABELLE_PLATFORM64:-$ISABELLE_PLATFORM}"
  5167 
  5168 * The preliminary Isabelle/jEdit application demonstrates the emerging
  5169 Isabelle/Scala layer for advanced prover interaction and integration.
  5170 See src/Tools/jEdit or "isabelle jedit" provided by the properly built
  5171 component.
  5172 
  5173 * "IsabelleText" is a Unicode font derived from Bitstream Vera Mono
  5174 and Bluesky TeX fonts.  It provides the usual Isabelle symbols,
  5175 similar to the default assignment of the document preparation system
  5176 (cf. isabellesym.sty).  The Isabelle/Scala class Isabelle_System
  5177 provides some operations for direct access to the font without asking
  5178 the user for manual installation.
  5179 
  5180 
  5181 
  5182 New in Isabelle2009-1 (December 2009)
  5183 -------------------------------------
  5184 
  5185 *** General ***
  5186 
  5187 * Discontinued old form of "escaped symbols" such as \\<forall>.  Only
  5188 one backslash should be used, even in ML sources.
  5189 
  5190 
  5191 *** Pure ***
  5192 
  5193 * Locale interpretation propagates mixins along the locale hierarchy.
  5194 The currently only available mixins are the equations used to map
  5195 local definitions to terms of the target domain of an interpretation.
  5196 
  5197 * Reactivated diagnostic command 'print_interps'.  Use "print_interps
  5198 loc" to print all interpretations of locale "loc" in the theory.
  5199 Interpretations in proofs are not shown.
  5200 
  5201 * Thoroughly revised locales tutorial.  New section on conditional
  5202 interpretation.
  5203 
  5204 * On instantiation of classes, remaining undefined class parameters
  5205 are formally declared.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5206 
  5207 
  5208 *** Document preparation ***
  5209 
  5210 * New generalized style concept for printing terms: @{foo (style) ...}
  5211 instead of @{foo_style style ...}  (old form is still retained for
  5212 backward compatibility).  Styles can be also applied for
  5213 antiquotations prop, term_type and typeof.
  5214 
  5215 
  5216 *** HOL ***
  5217 
  5218 * New proof method "smt" for a combination of first-order logic with
  5219 equality, linear and nonlinear (natural/integer/real) arithmetic, and
  5220 fixed-size bitvectors; there is also basic support for higher-order
  5221 features (esp. lambda abstractions).  It is an incomplete decision
  5222 procedure based on external SMT solvers using the oracle mechanism;
  5223 for the SMT solver Z3, this method is proof-producing.  Certificates
  5224 are provided to avoid calling the external solvers solely for
  5225 re-checking proofs.  Due to a remote SMT service there is no need for
  5226 installing SMT solvers locally.  See src/HOL/SMT.
  5227 
  5228 * New commands to load and prove verification conditions generated by
  5229 the Boogie program verifier or derived systems (e.g. the Verifying C
  5230 Compiler (VCC) or Spec#).  See src/HOL/Boogie.
  5231 
  5232 * New counterexample generator tool 'nitpick' based on the Kodkod
  5233 relational model finder.  See src/HOL/Tools/Nitpick and
  5234 src/HOL/Nitpick_Examples.
  5235 
  5236 * New commands 'code_pred' and 'values' to invoke the predicate
  5237 compiler and to enumerate values of inductive predicates.
  5238 
  5239 * A tabled implementation of the reflexive transitive closure.
  5240 
  5241 * New implementation of quickcheck uses generic code generator;
  5242 default generators are provided for all suitable HOL types, records
  5243 and datatypes.  Old quickcheck can be re-activated importing theory
  5244 Library/SML_Quickcheck.
  5245 
  5246 * New testing tool Mirabelle for automated proof tools.  Applies
  5247 several tools and tactics like sledgehammer, metis, or quickcheck, to
  5248 every proof step in a theory.  To be used in batch mode via the
  5249 "mirabelle" utility.
  5250 
  5251 * New proof method "sos" (sum of squares) for nonlinear real
  5252 arithmetic (originally due to John Harison). It requires theory
  5253 Library/Sum_Of_Squares.  It is not a complete decision procedure but
  5254 works well in practice on quantifier-free real arithmetic with +, -,
  5255 *, ^, =, <= and <, i.e. boolean combinations of equalities and
  5256 inequalities between polynomials.  It makes use of external
  5257 semidefinite programming solvers.  Method "sos" generates a
  5258 certificate that can be pasted into the proof thus avoiding the need
  5259 to call an external tool every time the proof is checked.  See
  5260 src/HOL/Library/Sum_Of_Squares.
  5261 
  5262 * New method "linarith" invokes existing linear arithmetic decision
  5263 procedure only.
  5264 
  5265 * New command 'atp_minimal' reduces result produced by Sledgehammer.
  5266 
  5267 * New Sledgehammer option "Full Types" in Proof General settings menu.
  5268 Causes full type information to be output to the ATPs.  This slows
  5269 ATPs down considerably but eliminates a source of unsound "proofs"
  5270 that fail later.
  5271 
  5272 * New method "metisFT": A version of metis that uses full type
  5273 information in order to avoid failures of proof reconstruction.
  5274 
  5275 * New evaluator "approximate" approximates an real valued term using
  5276 the same method as the approximation method.
  5277 
  5278 * Method "approximate" now supports arithmetic expressions as
  5279 boundaries of intervals and implements interval splitting and Taylor
  5280 series expansion.
  5281 
  5282 * ML antiquotation @{code_datatype} inserts definition of a datatype
  5283 generated by the code generator; e.g. see src/HOL/Predicate.thy.
  5284 
  5285 * New theory SupInf of the supremum and infimum operators for sets of
  5286 reals.
  5287 
  5288 * New theory Probability, which contains a development of measure
  5289 theory, eventually leading to Lebesgue integration and probability.
  5290 
  5291 * Extended Multivariate Analysis to include derivation and Brouwer's
  5292 fixpoint theorem.
  5293 
  5294 * Reorganization of number theory, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5295   - new number theory development for nat and int, in theories Divides
  5296     and GCD as well as in new session Number_Theory
  5297   - some constants and facts now suffixed with _nat and _int
  5298     accordingly
  5299   - former session NumberTheory now named Old_Number_Theory, including
  5300     theories Legacy_GCD and Primes (prefer Number_Theory if possible)
  5301   - moved theory Pocklington from src/HOL/Library to
  5302     src/HOL/Old_Number_Theory
  5303 
  5304 * Theory GCD includes functions Gcd/GCD and Lcm/LCM for the gcd and
  5305 lcm of finite and infinite sets. It is shown that they form a complete
  5306 lattice.
  5307 
  5308 * Class semiring_div requires superclass no_zero_divisors and proof of
  5309 div_mult_mult1; theorems div_mult_mult1, div_mult_mult2,
  5310 div_mult_mult1_if, div_mult_mult1 and div_mult_mult2 have been
  5311 generalized to class semiring_div, subsuming former theorems
  5312 zdiv_zmult_zmult1, zdiv_zmult_zmult1_if, zdiv_zmult_zmult1 and
  5313 zdiv_zmult_zmult2.  div_mult_mult1 is now [simp] by default.
  5314 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5315 
  5316 * Refinements to lattice classes and sets:
  5317   - less default intro/elim rules in locale variant, more default
  5318     intro/elim rules in class variant: more uniformity
  5319   - lemma ge_sup_conv renamed to le_sup_iff, in accordance with
  5320     le_inf_iff
  5321   - dropped lemma alias inf_ACI for inf_aci (same for sup_ACI and
  5322     sup_aci)
  5323   - renamed ACI to inf_sup_aci
  5324   - new class "boolean_algebra"
  5325   - class "complete_lattice" moved to separate theory
  5326     "Complete_Lattice"; corresponding constants (and abbreviations)
  5327     renamed and with authentic syntax:
  5328     Set.Inf ~>    Complete_Lattice.Inf
  5329     Set.Sup ~>    Complete_Lattice.Sup
  5330     Set.INFI ~>   Complete_Lattice.INFI
  5331     Set.SUPR ~>   Complete_Lattice.SUPR
  5332     Set.Inter ~>  Complete_Lattice.Inter
  5333     Set.Union ~>  Complete_Lattice.Union
  5334     Set.INTER ~>  Complete_Lattice.INTER
  5335     Set.UNION ~>  Complete_Lattice.UNION
  5336   - authentic syntax for
  5337     Set.Pow
  5338     Set.image
  5339   - mere abbreviations:
  5340     Set.empty               (for bot)
  5341     Set.UNIV                (for top)
  5342     Set.inter               (for inf, formerly Set.Int)
  5343     Set.union               (for sup, formerly Set.Un)
  5344     Complete_Lattice.Inter  (for Inf)
  5345     Complete_Lattice.Union  (for Sup)
  5346     Complete_Lattice.INTER  (for INFI)
  5347     Complete_Lattice.UNION  (for SUPR)
  5348   - object-logic definitions as far as appropriate
  5349 
  5350 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Care is required when theorems Int_subset_iff or
  5351 Un_subset_iff are explicitly deleted as default simp rules; then also
  5352 their lattice counterparts le_inf_iff and le_sup_iff have to be
  5353 deleted to achieve the desired effect.
  5354 
  5355 * Rules inf_absorb1, inf_absorb2, sup_absorb1, sup_absorb2 are no simp
  5356 rules by default any longer; the same applies to min_max.inf_absorb1
  5357 etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5358 
  5359 * Rules sup_Int_eq and sup_Un_eq are no longer declared as
  5360 pred_set_conv by default.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5361 
  5362 * Power operations on relations and functions are now one dedicated
  5363 constant "compow" with infix syntax "^^".  Power operation on
  5364 multiplicative monoids retains syntax "^" and is now defined generic
  5365 in class power.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5366 
  5367 * Relation composition "R O S" now has a more standard argument order:
  5368 "R O S = {(x, z). EX y. (x, y) : R & (y, z) : S}".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  5369 rewrite propositions with "S O R" --> "R O S". Proofs may occasionally
  5370 break, since the O_assoc rule was not rewritten like this.  Fix using
  5371 O_assoc[symmetric].  The same applies to the curried version "R OO S".
  5372 
  5373 * Function "Inv" is renamed to "inv_into" and function "inv" is now an
  5374 abbreviation for "inv_into UNIV".  Lemmas are renamed accordingly.
  5375 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5376 
  5377 * Most rules produced by inductive and datatype package have mandatory
  5378 prefixes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5379 
  5380 * Changed "DERIV_intros" to a dynamic fact, which can be augmented by
  5381 the attribute of the same name.  Each of the theorems in the list
  5382 DERIV_intros assumes composition with an additional function and
  5383 matches a variable to the derivative, which has to be solved by the
  5384 Simplifier.  Hence (auto intro!: DERIV_intros) computes the derivative
  5385 of most elementary terms.  Former Maclauren.DERIV_tac and
  5386 Maclauren.deriv_tac should be replaced by (auto intro!: DERIV_intros).
  5387 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5388 
  5389 * Code generator attributes follow the usual underscore convention:
  5390     code_unfold     replaces    code unfold
  5391     code_post       replaces    code post
  5392     etc.
  5393   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5394 
  5395 * Renamed methods:
  5396     sizechange -> size_change
  5397     induct_scheme -> induction_schema
  5398   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5399 
  5400 * Discontinued abbreviation "arbitrary" of constant "undefined".
  5401 INCOMPATIBILITY, use "undefined" directly.
  5402 
  5403 * Renamed theorems:
  5404     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  5405     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1_left -> Suc_eq_plus1_left
  5406     Suc_plus1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  5407     *anti_sym -> *antisym*
  5408     vector_less_eq_def -> vector_le_def
  5409   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5410 
  5411 * Added theorem List.map_map as [simp].  Removed List.map_compose.
  5412 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5413 
  5414 * Removed predicate "M hassize n" (<--> card M = n & finite M).
  5415 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5416 
  5417 
  5418 *** HOLCF ***
  5419 
  5420 * Theory Representable defines a class "rep" of domains that are
  5421 representable (via an ep-pair) in the universal domain type "udom".
  5422 Instances are provided for all type constructors defined in HOLCF.
  5423 
  5424 * The 'new_domain' command is a purely definitional version of the
  5425 domain package, for representable domains.  Syntax is identical to the
  5426 old domain package.  The 'new_domain' package also supports indirect
  5427 recursion using previously-defined type constructors.  See
  5428 src/HOLCF/ex/New_Domain.thy for examples.
  5429 
  5430 * Method "fixrec_simp" unfolds one step of a fixrec-defined constant
  5431 on the left-hand side of an equation, and then performs
  5432 simplification.  Rewriting is done using rules declared with the
  5433 "fixrec_simp" attribute.  The "fixrec_simp" method is intended as a
  5434 replacement for "fixpat"; see src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples.
  5435 
  5436 * The pattern-match compiler in 'fixrec' can now handle constructors
  5437 with HOL function types.  Pattern-match combinators for the Pair
  5438 constructor are pre-configured.
  5439 
  5440 * The 'fixrec' package now produces better fixed-point induction rules
  5441 for mutually-recursive definitions:  Induction rules have conclusions
  5442 of the form "P foo bar" instead of "P <foo, bar>".
  5443 
  5444 * The constant "sq_le" (with infix syntax "<<" or "\<sqsubseteq>") has
  5445 been renamed to "below".  The name "below" now replaces "less" in many
  5446 theorem names.  (Legacy theorem names using "less" are still supported
  5447 as well.)
  5448 
  5449 * The 'fixrec' package now supports "bottom patterns".  Bottom
  5450 patterns can be used to generate strictness rules, or to make
  5451 functions more strict (much like the bang-patterns supported by the
  5452 Glasgow Haskell Compiler).  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  5453 examples.
  5454 
  5455 
  5456 *** ML ***
  5457 
  5458 * Support for Poly/ML 5.3.0, with improved reporting of compiler
  5459 errors and run-time exceptions, including detailed source positions.
  5460 
  5461 * Structure Name_Space (formerly NameSpace) now manages uniquely
  5462 identified entries, with some additional information such as source
  5463 position, logical grouping etc.
  5464 
  5465 * Theory and context data is now introduced by the simplified and
  5466 modernized functors Theory_Data, Proof_Data, Generic_Data.  Data needs
  5467 to be pure, but the old TheoryDataFun for mutable data (with explicit
  5468 copy operation) is still available for some time.
  5469 
  5470 * Structure Synchronized (cf. src/Pure/Concurrent/synchronized.ML)
  5471 provides a high-level programming interface to synchronized state
  5472 variables with atomic update.  This works via pure function
  5473 application within a critical section -- its runtime should be as
  5474 short as possible; beware of deadlocks if critical code is nested,
  5475 either directly or indirectly via other synchronized variables!
  5476 
  5477 * Structure Unsynchronized (cf. src/Pure/ML-Systems/unsynchronized.ML)
  5478 wraps raw ML references, explicitly indicating their non-thread-safe
  5479 behaviour.  The Isar toplevel keeps this structure open, to
  5480 accommodate Proof General as well as quick and dirty interactive
  5481 experiments with references.
  5482 
  5483 * PARALLEL_CHOICE and PARALLEL_GOALS provide basic support for
  5484 parallel tactical reasoning.
  5485 
  5486 * Tacticals Subgoal.FOCUS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PREMS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PARAMS
  5487 are similar to SUBPROOF, but are slightly more flexible: only the
  5488 specified parts of the subgoal are imported into the context, and the
  5489 body tactic may introduce new subgoals and schematic variables.
  5490 
  5491 * Old tactical METAHYPS, which does not observe the proof context, has
  5492 been renamed to Old_Goals.METAHYPS and awaits deletion.  Use SUBPROOF
  5493 or Subgoal.FOCUS etc.
  5494 
  5495 * Renamed functor TableFun to Table, and GraphFun to Graph.  (Since
  5496 functors have their own ML name space there is no point to mark them
  5497 separately.)  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5498 
  5499 * Renamed NamedThmsFun to Named_Thms.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5500 
  5501 * Renamed several structures FooBar to Foo_Bar.  Occasional,
  5502 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5503 
  5504 * Operations of structure Skip_Proof no longer require quick_and_dirty
  5505 mode, which avoids critical setmp.
  5506 
  5507 * Eliminated old Attrib.add_attributes, Method.add_methods and related
  5508 combinators for "args".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use simplified
  5509 Attrib/Method.setup introduced in Isabelle2009.
  5510 
  5511 * Proper context for simpset_of, claset_of, clasimpset_of.  May fall
  5512 back on global_simpset_of, global_claset_of, global_clasimpset_of as
  5513 last resort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5514 
  5515 * Display.pretty_thm now requires a proper context (cf. former
  5516 ProofContext.pretty_thm).  May fall back on Display.pretty_thm_global
  5517 or even Display.pretty_thm_without_context as last resort.
  5518 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5519 
  5520 * Discontinued Display.pretty_ctyp/cterm etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5521 Syntax.pretty_typ/term directly, preferably with proper context
  5522 instead of global theory.
  5523 
  5524 
  5525 *** System ***
  5526 
  5527 * Further fine tuning of parallel proof checking, scales up to 8 cores
  5528 (max. speedup factor 5.0).  See also Goal.parallel_proofs in ML and
  5529 usedir option -q.
  5530 
  5531 * Support for additional "Isabelle components" via etc/components, see
  5532 also the system manual.
  5533 
  5534 * The isabelle makeall tool now operates on all components with
  5535 IsaMakefile, not just hardwired "logics".
  5536 
  5537 * Removed "compress" option from isabelle-process and isabelle usedir;
  5538 this is always enabled.
  5539 
  5540 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 4.x versions.
  5541 
  5542 * Isabelle tool "wwwfind" provides web interface for 'find_theorems'
  5543 on a given logic image.  This requires the lighttpd webserver and is
  5544 currently supported on Linux only.
  5545 
  5546 
  5547 
  5548 New in Isabelle2009 (April 2009)
  5549 --------------------------------
  5550 
  5551 *** General ***
  5552 
  5553 * Simplified main Isabelle executables, with less surprises on
  5554 case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  5555 
  5556   - The main Isabelle tool wrapper is now called "isabelle" instead of
  5557     "isatool."
  5558 
  5559   - The former "isabelle" alias for "isabelle-process" has been
  5560     removed (should rarely occur to regular users).
  5561 
  5562   - The former "isabelle-interface" and its alias "Isabelle" have been
  5563     removed (interfaces are now regular Isabelle tools).
  5564 
  5565 Within scripts and make files, the Isabelle environment variables
  5566 ISABELLE_TOOL and ISABELLE_PROCESS replace old ISATOOL and ISABELLE,
  5567 respectively.  (The latter are still available as legacy feature.)
  5568 
  5569 The old isabelle-interface wrapper could react in confusing ways if
  5570 the interface was uninstalled or changed otherwise.  Individual
  5571 interface tool configuration is now more explicit, see also the
  5572 Isabelle system manual.  In particular, Proof General is now available
  5573 via "isabelle emacs".
  5574 
  5575 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt derivative scripts.  Users may need to
  5576 purge installed copies of Isabelle executables and re-run "isabelle
  5577 install -p ...", or use symlinks.
  5578 
  5579 * The default for ISABELLE_HOME_USER is now ~/.isabelle instead of the
  5580 old ~/isabelle, which was slightly non-standard and apt to cause
  5581 surprises on case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  5582 
  5583 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to move existing ~/isabelle/etc,
  5584 ~/isabelle/heaps, ~/isabelle/browser_info to the new place.  Special
  5585 care is required when using older releases of Isabelle.  Note that
  5586 ISABELLE_HOME_USER can be changed in Isabelle/etc/settings of any
  5587 Isabelle distribution, in order to use the new ~/.isabelle uniformly.
  5588 
  5589 * Proofs of fully specified statements are run in parallel on
  5590 multi-core systems.  A speedup factor of 2.5 to 3.2 can be expected on
  5591 a regular 4-core machine, if the initial heap space is made reasonably
  5592 large (cf. Poly/ML option -H).  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  5593 
  5594 * The main reference manuals ("isar-ref", "implementation", and
  5595 "system") have been updated and extended.  Formally checked references
  5596 as hyperlinks are now available uniformly.
  5597 
  5598 
  5599 *** Pure ***
  5600 
  5601 * Complete re-implementation of locales.  INCOMPATIBILITY in several
  5602 respects.  The most important changes are listed below.  See the
  5603 Tutorial on Locales ("locales" manual) for details.
  5604 
  5605 - In locale expressions, instantiation replaces renaming.  Parameters
  5606 must be declared in a for clause.  To aid compatibility with previous
  5607 parameter inheritance, in locale declarations, parameters that are not
  5608 'touched' (instantiation position "_" or omitted) are implicitly added
  5609 with their syntax at the beginning of the for clause.
  5610 
  5611 - Syntax from abbreviations and definitions in locales is available in
  5612 locale expressions and context elements.  The latter is particularly
  5613 useful in locale declarations.
  5614 
  5615 - More flexible mechanisms to qualify names generated by locale
  5616 expressions.  Qualifiers (prefixes) may be specified in locale
  5617 expressions, and can be marked as mandatory (syntax: "name!:") or
  5618 optional (syntax "name?:").  The default depends for plain "name:"
  5619 depends on the situation where a locale expression is used: in
  5620 commands 'locale' and 'sublocale' prefixes are optional, in
  5621 'interpretation' and 'interpret' prefixes are mandatory.  The old
  5622 implicit qualifiers derived from the parameter names of a locale are
  5623 no longer generated.
  5624 
  5625 - Command "sublocale l < e" replaces "interpretation l < e".  The
  5626 instantiation clause in "interpretation" and "interpret" (square
  5627 brackets) is no longer available.  Use locale expressions.
  5628 
  5629 - When converting proof scripts, mandatory qualifiers in
  5630 'interpretation' and 'interpret' should be retained by default, even
  5631 if this is an INCOMPATIBILITY compared to former behavior.  In the
  5632 worst case, use the "name?:" form for non-mandatory ones.  Qualifiers
  5633 in locale expressions range over a single locale instance only.
  5634 
  5635 - Dropped locale element "includes".  This is a major INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5636 In existing theorem specifications replace the includes element by the
  5637 respective context elements of the included locale, omitting those
  5638 that are already present in the theorem specification.  Multiple
  5639 assume elements of a locale should be replaced by a single one
  5640 involving the locale predicate.  In the proof body, declarations (most
  5641 notably theorems) may be regained by interpreting the respective
  5642 locales in the proof context as required (command "interpret").
  5643 
  5644 If using "includes" in replacement of a target solely because the
  5645 parameter types in the theorem are not as general as in the target,
  5646 consider declaring a new locale with additional type constraints on
  5647 the parameters (context element "constrains").
  5648 
  5649 - Discontinued "locale (open)".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5650 
  5651 - Locale interpretation commands no longer attempt to simplify goal.
  5652 INCOMPATIBILITY: in rare situations the generated goal differs.  Use
  5653 methods intro_locales and unfold_locales to clarify.
  5654 
  5655 - Locale interpretation commands no longer accept interpretation
  5656 attributes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5657 
  5658 * Class declaration: so-called "base sort" must not be given in import
  5659 list any longer, but is inferred from the specification.  Particularly
  5660 in HOL, write
  5661 
  5662     class foo = ...
  5663 
  5664 instead of
  5665 
  5666     class foo = type + ...
  5667 
  5668 * Class target: global versions of theorems stemming do not carry a
  5669 parameter prefix any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5670 
  5671 * Class 'instance' command no longer accepts attached definitions.
  5672 INCOMPATIBILITY, use proper 'instantiation' target instead.
  5673 
  5674 * Recovered hiding of consts, which was accidentally broken in
  5675 Isabelle2007.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, ``hide const c'' really
  5676 makes c inaccessible; consider using ``hide (open) const c'' instead.
  5677 
  5678 * Slightly more coherent Pure syntax, with updated documentation in
  5679 isar-ref manual.  Removed locales meta_term_syntax and
  5680 meta_conjunction_syntax: TERM and &&& (formerly &&) are now permanent,
  5681 INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations.  Note that &&& should not be used
  5682 directly in regular applications.
  5683 
  5684 * There is a new syntactic category "float_const" for signed decimal
  5685 fractions (e.g. 123.45 or -123.45).
  5686 
  5687 * Removed exotic 'token_translation' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML
  5688 interface with 'setup' command instead.
  5689 
  5690 * Command 'local_setup' is similar to 'setup', but operates on a local
  5691 theory context.
  5692 
  5693 * The 'axiomatization' command now only works within a global theory
  5694 context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5695 
  5696 * Goal-directed proof now enforces strict proof irrelevance wrt. sort
  5697 hypotheses.  Sorts required in the course of reasoning need to be
  5698 covered by the constraints in the initial statement, completed by the
  5699 type instance information of the background theory.  Non-trivial sort
  5700 hypotheses, which rarely occur in practice, may be specified via
  5701 vacuous propositions of the form SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::c).  For example:
  5702 
  5703   lemma assumes "SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::empty)" shows False ...
  5704 
  5705 The result contains an implicit sort hypotheses as before --
  5706 SORT_CONSTRAINT premises are eliminated as part of the canonical rule
  5707 normalization.
  5708 
  5709 * Generalized Isar history, with support for linear undo, direct state
  5710 addressing etc.
  5711 
  5712 * Changed defaults for unify configuration options:
  5713 
  5714   unify_trace_bound = 50 (formerly 25)
  5715   unify_search_bound = 60 (formerly 30)
  5716 
  5717 * Different bookkeeping for code equations (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  5718 
  5719   a) On theory merge, the last set of code equations for a particular
  5720      constant is taken (in accordance with the policy applied by other
  5721      parts of the code generator framework).
  5722 
  5723   b) Code equations stemming from explicit declarations (e.g. code
  5724      attribute) gain priority over default code equations stemming
  5725      from definition, primrec, fun etc.
  5726 
  5727 * Keyword 'code_exception' now named 'code_abort'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5728 
  5729 * Unified theorem tables for both code generators.  Thus [code
  5730 func] has disappeared and only [code] remains.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5731 
  5732 * Command 'find_consts' searches for constants based on type and name
  5733 patterns, e.g.
  5734 
  5735     find_consts "_ => bool"
  5736 
  5737 By default, matching is against subtypes, but it may be restricted to
  5738 the whole type.  Searching by name is possible.  Multiple queries are
  5739 conjunctive and queries may be negated by prefixing them with a
  5740 hyphen:
  5741 
  5742     find_consts strict: "_ => bool" name: "Int" -"int => int"
  5743 
  5744 * New 'find_theorems' criterion "solves" matches theorems that
  5745 directly solve the current goal (modulo higher-order unification).
  5746 
  5747 * Auto solve feature for main theorem statements: whenever a new goal
  5748 is stated, "find_theorems solves" is called; any theorems that could
  5749 solve the lemma directly are listed as part of the goal state.
  5750 Cf. associated options in Proof General Isabelle settings menu,
  5751 enabled by default, with reasonable timeout for pathological cases of
  5752 higher-order unification.
  5753 
  5754 
  5755 *** Document preparation ***
  5756 
  5757 * Antiquotation @{lemma} now imitates a regular terminal proof,
  5758 demanding keyword 'by' and supporting the full method expression
  5759 syntax just like the Isar command 'by'.
  5760 
  5761 
  5762 *** HOL ***
  5763 
  5764 * Integrated main parts of former image HOL-Complex with HOL.  Entry
  5765 points Main and Complex_Main remain as before.
  5766 
  5767 * Logic image HOL-Plain provides a minimal HOL with the most important
  5768 tools available (inductive, datatype, primrec, ...).  This facilitates
  5769 experimentation and tool development.  Note that user applications
  5770 (and library theories) should never refer to anything below theory
  5771 Main, as before.
  5772 
  5773 * Logic image HOL-Main stops at theory Main, and thus facilitates
  5774 experimentation due to shorter build times.
  5775 
  5776 * Logic image HOL-NSA contains theories of nonstandard analysis which
  5777 were previously part of former HOL-Complex.  Entry point Hyperreal
  5778 remains valid, but theories formerly using Complex_Main should now use
  5779 new entry point Hypercomplex.
  5780 
  5781 * Generic ATP manager for Sledgehammer, based on ML threads instead of
  5782 Posix processes.  Avoids potentially expensive forking of the ML
  5783 process.  New thread-based implementation also works on non-Unix
  5784 platforms (Cygwin).  Provers are no longer hardwired, but defined
  5785 within the theory via plain ML wrapper functions.  Basic Sledgehammer
  5786 commands are covered in the isar-ref manual.
  5787 
  5788 * Wrapper scripts for remote SystemOnTPTP service allows to use
  5789 sledgehammer without local ATP installation (Vampire etc.). Other
  5790 provers may be included via suitable ML wrappers, see also
  5791 src/HOL/ATP_Linkup.thy.
  5792 
  5793 * ATP selection (E/Vampire/Spass) is now via Proof General's settings
  5794 menu.
  5795 
  5796 * The metis method no longer fails because the theorem is too trivial
  5797 (contains the empty clause).
  5798 
  5799 * The metis method now fails in the usual manner, rather than raising
  5800 an exception, if it determines that it cannot prove the theorem.
  5801 
  5802 * Method "coherent" implements a prover for coherent logic (see also
  5803 src/Tools/coherent.ML).
  5804 
  5805 * Constants "undefined" and "default" replace "arbitrary".  Usually
  5806 "undefined" is the right choice to replace "arbitrary", though
  5807 logically there is no difference.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5808 
  5809 * Command "value" now integrates different evaluation mechanisms.  The
  5810 result of the first successful evaluation mechanism is printed.  In
  5811 square brackets a particular named evaluation mechanisms may be
  5812 specified (currently, [SML], [code] or [nbe]).  See further
  5813 src/HOL/ex/Eval_Examples.thy.
  5814 
  5815 * Normalization by evaluation now allows non-leftlinear equations.
  5816 Declare with attribute [code nbe].
  5817 
  5818 * Methods "case_tac" and "induct_tac" now refer to the very same rules
  5819 as the structured Isar versions "cases" and "induct", cf. the
  5820 corresponding "cases" and "induct" attributes.  Mutual induction rules
  5821 are now presented as a list of individual projections
  5822 (e.g. foo_bar.inducts for types foo and bar); the old format with
  5823 explicit HOL conjunction is no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  5824 rare situations a different rule is selected --- notably nested tuple
  5825 elimination instead of former prod.exhaust: use explicit (case_tac t
  5826 rule: prod.exhaust) here.
  5827 
  5828 * Attributes "cases", "induct", "coinduct" support "del" option.
  5829 
  5830 * Removed fact "case_split_thm", which duplicates "case_split".
  5831 
  5832 * The option datatype has been moved to a new theory Option.  Renamed
  5833 option_map to Option.map, and o2s to Option.set, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5834 
  5835 * New predicate "strict_mono" classifies strict functions on partial
  5836 orders.  With strict functions on linear orders, reasoning about
  5837 (in)equalities is facilitated by theorems "strict_mono_eq",
  5838 "strict_mono_less_eq" and "strict_mono_less".
  5839 
  5840 * Some set operations are now proper qualified constants with
  5841 authentic syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5842 
  5843     op Int ~>   Set.Int
  5844     op Un ~>    Set.Un
  5845     INTER ~>    Set.INTER
  5846     UNION ~>    Set.UNION
  5847     Inter ~>    Set.Inter
  5848     Union ~>    Set.Union
  5849     {} ~>       Set.empty
  5850     UNIV ~>     Set.UNIV
  5851 
  5852 * Class complete_lattice with operations Inf, Sup, INFI, SUPR now in
  5853 theory Set.
  5854 
  5855 * Auxiliary class "itself" has disappeared -- classes without any
  5856 parameter are treated as expected by the 'class' command.
  5857 
  5858 * Leibnitz's Series for Pi and the arcus tangens and logarithm series.
  5859 
  5860 * Common decision procedures (Cooper, MIR, Ferrack, Approximation,
  5861 Dense_Linear_Order) are now in directory HOL/Decision_Procs.
  5862 
  5863 * Theory src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation provides the new proof
  5864 method "approximation".  It proves formulas on real values by using
  5865 interval arithmetic.  In the formulas are also the transcendental
  5866 functions sin, cos, tan, atan, ln, exp and the constant pi are
  5867 allowed. For examples see
  5868 src/HOL/Descision_Procs/ex/Approximation_Ex.thy.
  5869 
  5870 * Theory "Reflection" now resides in HOL/Library.
  5871 
  5872 * Entry point to Word library now simply named "Word".
  5873 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5874 
  5875 * Made source layout more coherent with logical distribution
  5876 structure:

  5930 * If methods "eval" and "evaluation" encounter a structured proof
  5931 state with !!/==>, only the conclusion is evaluated to True (if
  5932 possible), avoiding strange error messages.
  5933 
  5934 * Method "sizechange" automates termination proofs using (a
  5935 modification of) the size-change principle.  Requires SAT solver.  See
  5936 src/HOL/ex/Termination.thy for examples.
  5937 
  5938 * Simplifier: simproc for let expressions now unfolds if bound
  5939 variable occurs at most once in let expression body.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5940 
  5941 * Method "arith": Linear arithmetic now ignores all inequalities when
  5942 fast_arith_neq_limit is exceeded, instead of giving up entirely.
  5943 
  5944 * New attribute "arith" for facts that should always be used
  5945 automatically by arithmetic. It is intended to be used locally in
  5946 proofs, e.g.
  5947 
  5948   assumes [arith]: "x > 0"
  5949 
  5950 Global usage is discouraged because of possible performance impact.
  5951 
  5952 * New classes "top" and "bot" with corresponding operations "top" and
  5953 "bot" in theory Orderings; instantiation of class "complete_lattice"
  5954 requires instantiation of classes "top" and "bot".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5955 
  5956 * Changed definition lemma "less_fun_def" in order to provide an
  5957 instance for preorders on functions; use lemma "less_le" instead.
  5958 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5959 
  5960 * Theory Orderings: class "wellorder" moved here, with explicit
  5961 induction rule "less_induct" as assumption.  For instantiation of
  5962 "wellorder" by means of predicate "wf", use rule wf_wellorderI.
  5963 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5964 
  5965 * Theory Orderings: added class "preorder" as superclass of "order".
  5966 INCOMPATIBILITY: Instantiation proofs for order, linorder
  5967 etc. slightly changed.  Some theorems named order_class.* now named
  5968 preorder_class.*.
  5969 
  5970 * Theory Relation: renamed "refl" to "refl_on", "reflexive" to "refl,
  5971 "diag" to "Id_on".
  5972 
  5973 * Theory Finite_Set: added a new fold combinator of type
  5974 
  5975   ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  5976 
  5977 Occasionally this is more convenient than the old fold combinator
  5978 which is now defined in terms of the new one and renamed to
  5979 fold_image.
  5980 
  5981 * Theories Ring_and_Field and OrderedGroup: The lemmas "group_simps"
  5982 and "ring_simps" have been replaced by "algebra_simps" (which can be
  5983 extended with further lemmas!).  At the moment both still exist but
  5984 the former will disappear at some point.
  5985 
  5986 * Theory Power: Lemma power_Suc is now declared as a simp rule in
  5987 class recpower.  Type-specific simp rules for various recpower types
  5988 have been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, rename old lemmas as follows:
  5989 
  5990 rat_power_0    -> power_0
  5991 rat_power_Suc  -> power_Suc
  5992 realpow_0      -> power_0
  5993 realpow_Suc    -> power_Suc
  5994 complexpow_0   -> power_0
  5995 complexpow_Suc -> power_Suc
  5996 power_poly_0   -> power_0
  5997 power_poly_Suc -> power_Suc
  5998 
  5999 * Theories Ring_and_Field and Divides: Definition of "op dvd" has been
  6000 moved to separate class dvd in Ring_and_Field; a couple of lemmas on
  6001 dvd has been generalized to class comm_semiring_1.  Likewise a bunch
  6002 of lemmas from Divides has been generalized from nat to class
  6003 semiring_div.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  This involves the following theorem
  6004 renames resulting from duplicate elimination:
  6005 
  6006     dvd_def_mod ~>          dvd_eq_mod_eq_0
  6007     zero_dvd_iff ~>         dvd_0_left_iff
  6008     dvd_0 ~>                dvd_0_right
  6009     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_DIV ~> div_by_0
  6010     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_MOD ~> mod_by_0
  6011     mult_div ~>             div_mult_self2_is_id
  6012     mult_mod ~>             mod_mult_self2_is_0
  6013 
  6014 * Theory IntDiv: removed many lemmas that are instances of class-based
  6015 generalizations (from Divides and Ring_and_Field).  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  6016 rename old lemmas as follows:
  6017 
  6018 dvd_diff               -> nat_dvd_diff
  6019 dvd_zminus_iff         -> dvd_minus_iff

  6023 mod_mult_distrib_mod   -> mod_mult_eq
  6024 nat_mod_add_left_eq    -> mod_add_left_eq
  6025 nat_mod_add_right_eq   -> mod_add_right_eq
  6026 nat_mod_div_trivial    -> mod_div_trivial
  6027 nat_mod_mod_trivial    -> mod_mod_trivial
  6028 zdiv_zadd_self1        -> div_add_self1
  6029 zdiv_zadd_self2        -> div_add_self2
  6030 zdiv_zmult_self1       -> div_mult_self2_is_id
  6031 zdiv_zmult_self2       -> div_mult_self1_is_id
  6032 zdvd_triv_left         -> dvd_triv_left
  6033 zdvd_triv_right        -> dvd_triv_right
  6034 zdvd_zmult_cancel_disj -> dvd_mult_cancel_left
  6035 zmod_eq0_zdvd_iff      -> dvd_eq_mod_eq_0[symmetric]
  6036 zmod_zadd_left_eq      -> mod_add_left_eq
  6037 zmod_zadd_right_eq     -> mod_add_right_eq
  6038 zmod_zadd_self1        -> mod_add_self1
  6039 zmod_zadd_self2        -> mod_add_self2
  6040 zmod_zadd1_eq          -> mod_add_eq
  6041 zmod_zdiff1_eq         -> mod_diff_eq
  6042 zmod_zdvd_zmod         -> mod_mod_cancel
  6043 zmod_zmod_cancel       -> mod_mod_cancel
  6044 zmod_zmult_self1       -> mod_mult_self2_is_0
  6045 zmod_zmult_self2       -> mod_mult_self1_is_0
  6046 zmod_1                 -> mod_by_1
  6047 zdiv_1                 -> div_by_1
  6048 zdvd_abs1              -> abs_dvd_iff
  6049 zdvd_abs2              -> dvd_abs_iff
  6050 zdvd_refl              -> dvd_refl
  6051 zdvd_trans             -> dvd_trans
  6052 zdvd_zadd              -> dvd_add
  6053 zdvd_zdiff             -> dvd_diff
  6054 zdvd_zminus_iff        -> dvd_minus_iff
  6055 zdvd_zminus2_iff       -> minus_dvd_iff
  6056 zdvd_zmultD            -> dvd_mult_right
  6057 zdvd_zmultD2           -> dvd_mult_left
  6058 zdvd_zmult_mono        -> mult_dvd_mono
  6059 zdvd_0_right           -> dvd_0_right
  6060 zdvd_0_left            -> dvd_0_left_iff
  6061 zdvd_1_left            -> one_dvd
  6062 zminus_dvd_iff         -> minus_dvd_iff
  6063 
  6064 * Theory Rational: 'Fract k 0' now equals '0'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6065 
  6066 * The real numbers offer decimal input syntax: 12.34 is translated
  6067 into 1234/10^2. This translation is not reversed upon output.
  6068 
  6069 * Theory Library/Polynomial defines an abstract type 'a poly of
  6070 univariate polynomials with coefficients of type 'a.  In addition to
  6071 the standard ring operations, it also supports div and mod.  Code
  6072 generation is also supported, using list-style constructors.
  6073 
  6074 * Theory Library/Inner_Product defines a class of real_inner for real
  6075 inner product spaces, with an overloaded operation inner :: 'a => 'a
  6076 => real.  Class real_inner is a subclass of real_normed_vector from
  6077 theory RealVector.
  6078 
  6079 * Theory Library/Product_Vector provides instances for the product
  6080 type 'a * 'b of several classes from RealVector and Inner_Product.
  6081 Definitions of addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, norms,
  6082 and inner products are included.
  6083 
  6084 * Theory Library/Bit defines the field "bit" of integers modulo 2.  In
  6085 addition to the field operations, numerals and case syntax are also
  6086 supported.
  6087 
  6088 * Theory Library/Diagonalize provides constructive version of Cantor's
  6089 first diagonalization argument.
  6090 
  6091 * Theory Library/GCD: Curried operations gcd, lcm (for nat) and zgcd,
  6092 zlcm (for int); carried together from various gcd/lcm developements in
  6093 the HOL Distribution.  Constants zgcd and zlcm replace former igcd and
  6094 ilcm; corresponding theorems renamed accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  6095 may recover tupled syntax as follows:
  6096 
  6097     hide (open) const gcd
  6098     abbreviation gcd where
  6099       "gcd == (%(a, b). GCD.gcd a b)"
  6100     notation (output)
  6101       GCD.gcd ("gcd '(_, _')")
  6102 
  6103 The same works for lcm, zgcd, zlcm.
  6104 
  6105 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity: added addition, numeral syntax and more
  6106 instantiations for algebraic structures.  Removed some duplicate
  6107 theorems.  Changes in simp rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6108 
  6109 * ML antiquotation @{code} takes a constant as argument and generates
  6110 corresponding code in background and inserts name of the corresponding
  6111 resulting ML value/function/datatype constructor binding in place.
  6112 All occurrences of @{code} with a single ML block are generated
  6113 simultaneously.  Provides a generic and safe interface for
  6114 instrumentalizing code generation.  See
  6115 src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Ferrack.thy for a more ambitious application.
  6116 In future you ought to refrain from ad-hoc compiling generated SML
  6117 code on the ML toplevel.  Note that (for technical reasons) @{code}
  6118 cannot refer to constants for which user-defined serializations are
  6119 set.  Refer to the corresponding ML counterpart directly in that
  6120 cases.
  6121 
  6122 * Command 'rep_datatype': instead of theorem names the command now
  6123 takes a list of terms denoting the constructors of the type to be
  6124 represented as datatype.  The characteristic theorems have to be
  6125 proven.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Also observe that the following theorems
  6126 have disappeared in favour of existing ones:
  6127 
  6128     unit_induct                 ~> unit.induct
  6129     prod_induct                 ~> prod.induct
  6130     sum_induct                  ~> sum.induct
  6131     Suc_Suc_eq                  ~> nat.inject
  6132     Suc_not_Zero Zero_not_Suc   ~> nat.distinct
  6133 
  6134 
  6135 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  6136 
  6137 * New locales for orders and lattices where the equivalence relation
  6138 is not restricted to equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY: all order and lattice
  6139 locales use a record structure with field eq for the equivalence.
  6140 
  6141 * New theory of factorial domains.
  6142 
  6143 * Units_l_inv and Units_r_inv are now simp rules by default.
  6144 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Simplifier proof that require deletion of l_inv
  6145 and/or r_inv will now also require deletion of these lemmas.
  6146 
  6147 * Renamed the following theorems, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6148 
  6149 UpperD ~> Upper_memD
  6150 LowerD ~> Lower_memD
  6151 least_carrier ~> least_closed
  6152 greatest_carrier ~> greatest_closed
  6153 greatest_Lower_above ~> greatest_Lower_below
  6154 one_zero ~> carrier_one_zero
  6155 one_not_zero ~> carrier_one_not_zero  (collision with assumption)
  6156 
  6157 
  6158 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  6159 
  6160 * Nominal datatypes can now contain type-variables.
  6161 
  6162 * Commands 'nominal_inductive' and 'equivariance' work with local
  6163 theory targets.
  6164 
  6165 * Nominal primrec can now works with local theory targets and its
  6166 specification syntax now conforms to the general format as seen in
  6167 'inductive' etc.
  6168 
  6169 * Method "perm_simp" honours the standard simplifier attributes
  6170 (no_asm), (no_asm_use) etc.
  6171 
  6172 * The new predicate #* is defined like freshness, except that on the
  6173 left hand side can be a set or list of atoms.
  6174 
  6175 * Experimental command 'nominal_inductive2' derives strong induction
  6176 principles for inductive definitions.  In contrast to
  6177 'nominal_inductive', which can only deal with a fixed number of
  6178 binders, it can deal with arbitrary expressions standing for sets of
  6179 atoms to be avoided.  The only inductive definition we have at the
  6180 moment that needs this generalisation is the typing rule for Lets in
  6181 the algorithm W:
  6182 
  6183  Gamma |- t1 : T1   (x,close Gamma T1)::Gamma |- t2 : T2   x#Gamma
  6184  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  6185          Gamma |- Let x be t1 in t2 : T2
  6186 
  6187 In this rule one wants to avoid all the binders that are introduced by
  6188 "close Gamma T1".  We are looking for other examples where this
  6189 feature might be useful.  Please let us know.
  6190 
  6191 
  6192 *** HOLCF ***
  6193 
  6194 * Reimplemented the simplification procedure for proving continuity
  6195 subgoals.  The new simproc is extensible; users can declare additional
  6196 continuity introduction rules with the attribute [cont2cont].
  6197 
  6198 * The continuity simproc now uses a different introduction rule for
  6199 solving continuity subgoals on terms with lambda abstractions.  In
  6200 some rare cases the new simproc may fail to solve subgoals that the
  6201 old one could solve, and "simp add: cont2cont_LAM" may be necessary.
  6202 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6203 
  6204 * Command 'fixrec': specification syntax now conforms to the general
  6205 format as seen in 'inductive' etc.  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  6206 examples.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6207 
  6208 
  6209 *** ZF ***
  6210 
  6211 * Proof of Zorn's Lemma for partial orders.
  6212 
  6213 
  6214 *** ML ***
  6215 
  6216 * Multithreading for Poly/ML 5.1/5.2 is no longer supported, only for
  6217 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.  Important note: the TimeLimit facility
  6218 depends on multithreading, so timouts will not work before Poly/ML
  6219 5.2.1!
  6220 
  6221 * High-level support for concurrent ML programming, see
  6222 src/Pure/Cuncurrent.  The data-oriented model of "future values" is
  6223 particularly convenient to organize independent functional
  6224 computations.  The concept of "synchronized variables" provides a
  6225 higher-order interface for components with shared state, avoiding the
  6226 delicate details of mutexes and condition variables.  (Requires
  6227 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  6228 
  6229 * ML bindings produced via Isar commands are stored within the Isar
  6230 context (theory or proof).  Consequently, commands like 'use' and 'ML'
  6231 become thread-safe and work with undo as expected (concerning
  6232 top-level bindings, not side-effects on global references).
  6233 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to provide proper Isar context when invoking the
  6234 compiler at runtime; really global bindings need to be given outside a
  6235 theory.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  6236 
  6237 * Command 'ML_prf' is analogous to 'ML' but works within a proof
  6238 context.  Top-level ML bindings are stored within the proof context in
  6239 a purely sequential fashion, disregarding the nested proof structure.
  6240 ML bindings introduced by 'ML_prf' are discarded at the end of the
  6241 proof.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  6242 
  6243 * Simplified ML attribute and method setup, cf. functions Attrib.setup
  6244 and Method.setup, as well as Isar commands 'attribute_setup' and
  6245 'method_setup'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for 'method_setup', need to simplify
  6246 existing code accordingly, or use plain 'setup' together with old
  6247 Method.add_method.
  6248 
  6249 * Simplified ML oracle interface Thm.add_oracle promotes 'a -> cterm
  6250 to 'a -> thm, while results are always tagged with an authentic oracle
  6251 name.  The Isar command 'oracle' is now polymorphic, no argument type
  6252 is specified.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify existing oracle code
  6253 accordingly.  Note that extra performance may be gained by producing
  6254 the cterm carefully, avoiding slow Thm.cterm_of.
  6255 
  6256 * Simplified interface for defining document antiquotations via
  6257 ThyOutput.antiquotation, ThyOutput.output, and optionally
  6258 ThyOutput.maybe_pretty_source.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify user
  6259 antiquotations accordingly, see src/Pure/Thy/thy_output.ML for common
  6260 examples.
  6261 
  6262 * More systematic treatment of long names, abstract name bindings, and
  6263 name space operations.  Basic operations on qualified names have been
  6264 move from structure NameSpace to Long_Name, e.g. Long_Name.base_name,
  6265 Long_Name.append.  Old type bstring has been mostly replaced by
  6266 abstract type binding (see structure Binding), which supports precise
  6267 qualification by packages and local theory targets, as well as proper
  6268 tracking of source positions.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to wrap old
  6269 bstring values into Binding.name, or better pass through abstract
  6270 bindings everywhere.  See further src/Pure/General/long_name.ML,
  6271 src/Pure/General/binding.ML and src/Pure/General/name_space.ML
  6272 
  6273 * Result facts (from PureThy.note_thms, ProofContext.note_thms,
  6274 LocalTheory.note etc.) now refer to the *full* internal name, not the
  6275 bstring as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY, not detected by ML type-checking!
  6276 
  6277 * Disposed old type and term read functions (Sign.read_def_typ,
  6278 Sign.read_typ, Sign.read_def_terms, Sign.read_term,
  6279 Thm.read_def_cterms, Thm.read_cterm etc.).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should
  6280 use regular Syntax.read_typ, Syntax.read_term, Syntax.read_typ_global,
  6281 Syntax.read_term_global etc.; see also OldGoals.read_term as last
  6282 resort for legacy applications.
  6283 
  6284 * Disposed old declarations, tactics, tactic combinators that refer to
  6285 the simpset or claset of an implicit theory (such as Addsimps,
  6286 Simp_tac, SIMPSET).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should use @{simpset} etc. in
  6287 embedded ML text, or local_simpset_of with a proper context passed as
  6288 explicit runtime argument.
  6289 
  6290 * Rules and tactics that read instantiations (read_instantiate,
  6291 res_inst_tac, thin_tac, subgoal_tac etc.) now demand a proper proof
  6292 context, which is required for parsing and type-checking.  Moreover,
  6293 the variables are specified as plain indexnames, not string encodings
  6294 thereof.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6295 
  6296 * Generic Toplevel.add_hook interface allows to analyze the result of
  6297 transactions.  E.g. see src/Pure/ProofGeneral/proof_general_pgip.ML
  6298 for theorem dependency output of transactions resulting in a new
  6299 theory state.
  6300 
  6301 * ML antiquotations: block-structured compilation context indicated by
  6302 \<lbrace> ... \<rbrace>; additional antiquotation forms:
  6303 
  6304   @{binding name}                         - basic name binding
  6305   @{let ?pat = term}                      - term abbreviation (HO matching)
  6306   @{note name = fact}                     - fact abbreviation
  6307   @{thm fact}                             - singleton fact (with attributes)
  6308   @{thms fact}                            - general fact (with attributes)
  6309   @{lemma prop by method}                 - singleton goal
  6310   @{lemma prop by meth1 meth2}            - singleton goal
  6311   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by method}      - general goal
  6312   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by meth1 meth2} - general goal
  6313   @{lemma (open) ...}                     - open derivation
  6314 
  6315 
  6316 *** System ***
  6317 
  6318 * The Isabelle "emacs" tool provides a specific interface to invoke
  6319 Proof General / Emacs, with more explicit failure if that is not
  6320 installed (the old isabelle-interface script silently falls back on
  6321 isabelle-process).  The PROOFGENERAL_HOME setting determines the
  6322 installation location of the Proof General distribution.
  6323 
  6324 * Isabelle/lib/classes/Pure.jar provides basic support to integrate
  6325 the Isabelle process into a JVM/Scala application.  See
  6326 Isabelle/lib/jedit/plugin for a minimal example.  (The obsolete Java
  6327 process wrapper has been discontinued.)
  6328 
  6329 * Added homegrown Isabelle font with unicode layout, see lib/fonts.
  6330 
  6331 * Various status messages (with exact source position information) are
  6332 emitted, if proper markup print mode is enabled.  This allows
  6333 user-interface components to provide detailed feedback on internal
  6334 prover operations.
  6335 
  6336 
  6337 
  6338 New in Isabelle2008 (June 2008)
  6339 -------------------------------
  6340 
  6341 *** General ***
  6342 
  6343 * The Isabelle/Isar Reference Manual (isar-ref) has been reorganized
  6344 and updated, with formally checked references as hyperlinks.
  6345 
  6346 * Theory loader: use_thy (and similar operations) no longer set the
  6347 implicit ML context, which was occasionally hard to predict and in
  6348 conflict with concurrency.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML within Isar which
  6349 provides a proper context already.
  6350 
  6351 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  6352 file are no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, regular 'uses' and
  6353 'use' within a theory file will do the job.
  6354 
  6355 * Name space merge now observes canonical order, i.e. the second space
  6356 is inserted into the first one, while existing entries in the first
  6357 space take precedence.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, may try to
  6358 swap theory imports.
  6359 
  6360 * Syntax: symbol \<chi> is now considered a letter.  Potential
  6361 INCOMPATIBILITY in identifier syntax etc.
  6362 
  6363 * Outer syntax: string tokens no longer admit escaped white space,
  6364 which was an accidental (undocumented) feature.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  6365 white space without escapes.
  6366 
  6367 * Outer syntax: string tokens may contain arbitrary character codes
  6368 specified via 3 decimal digits (as in SML).  E.g. "foo\095bar" for
  6369 "foo_bar".
  6370 
  6371 
  6372 *** Pure ***
  6373 
  6374 * Context-dependent token translations.  Default setup reverts locally
  6375 fixed variables, and adds hilite markup for undeclared frees.
  6376 
  6377 * Unused theorems can be found using the new command 'unused_thms'.
  6378 There are three ways of invoking it:
  6379 
  6380 (1) unused_thms
  6381      Only finds unused theorems in the current theory.
  6382 
  6383 (2) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n -
  6384      Finds unused theorems in the current theory and all of its ancestors,
  6385      excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of their ancestors.
  6386 
  6387 (3) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n - thy'_1 ... thy'_m
  6388      Finds unused theorems in the theories thy'_1 ... thy'_m and all of
  6389      their ancestors, excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of
  6390      their ancestors.
  6391 
  6392 In order to increase the readability of the list produced by
  6393 unused_thms, theorems that have been created by a particular instance
  6394 of a theory command such as 'inductive' or 'function' are considered
  6395 to belong to the same "group", meaning that if at least one theorem in
  6396 this group is used, the other theorems in the same group are no longer
  6397 reported as unused.  Moreover, if all theorems in the group are
  6398 unused, only one theorem in the group is displayed.
  6399 
  6400 Note that proof objects have to be switched on in order for
  6401 unused_thms to work properly (i.e. !proofs must be >= 1, which is
  6402 usually the case when using Proof General with the default settings).
  6403 
  6404 * Authentic naming of facts disallows ad-hoc overwriting of previous
  6405 theorems within the same name space.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to remove
  6406 duplicate fact bindings, or even accidental fact duplications.  Note
  6407 that tools may maintain dynamically scoped facts systematically, using
  6408 PureThy.add_thms_dynamic.
  6409 
  6410 * Command 'hide' now allows to hide from "fact" name space as well.
  6411 
  6412 * Eliminated destructive theorem database, simpset, claset, and
  6413 clasimpset.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, really need to observe linear
  6414 update of theories within ML code.
  6415 
  6416 * Eliminated theory ProtoPure and CPure, leaving just one Pure theory.
  6417 INCOMPATIBILITY, object-logics depending on former Pure require
  6418 additional setup PureThy.old_appl_syntax_setup; object-logics
  6419 depending on former CPure need to refer to Pure.
  6420 
  6421 * Commands 'use' and 'ML' are now purely functional, operating on
  6422 theory/local_theory.  Removed former 'ML_setup' (on theory), use 'ML'
  6423 instead.  Added 'ML_val' as mere diagnostic replacement for 'ML'.
  6424 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6425 
  6426 * Command 'setup': discontinued implicit version with ML reference.
  6427 
  6428 * Instantiation target allows for simultaneous specification of class
  6429 instance operations together with an instantiation proof.
  6430 Type-checking phase allows to refer to class operations uniformly.
  6431 See src/HOL/Complex/Complex.thy for an Isar example and
  6432 src/HOL/Library/Eval.thy for an ML example.
  6433 
  6434 * Indexing of literal facts: be more serious about including only
  6435 facts from the visible specification/proof context, but not the
  6436 background context (locale etc.).  Affects `prop` notation and method
  6437 "fact".  INCOMPATIBILITY: need to name facts explicitly in rare
  6438 situations.
  6439 
  6440 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": removed obsolete/undocumented
  6441 "(open)" option, which used to expose internal bound variables to the
  6442 proof text.
  6443 
  6444 * Isar statements: removed obsolete case "rule_context".
  6445 INCOMPATIBILITY, better use explicit fixes/assumes.
  6446 
  6447 * Locale proofs: default proof step now includes 'unfold_locales';
  6448 hence 'proof' without argument may be used to unfold locale
  6449 predicates.
  6450 
  6451 
  6452 *** Document preparation ***
  6453 
  6454 * Simplified pdfsetup.sty: color/hyperref is used unconditionally for
  6455 both pdf and dvi (hyperlinks usually work in xdvi as well); removed
  6456 obsolete thumbpdf setup (contemporary PDF viewers do this on the
  6457 spot); renamed link color from "darkblue" to "linkcolor" (default
  6458 value unchanged, can be redefined via \definecolor); no longer sets
  6459 "a4paper" option (unnecessary or even intrusive).
  6460 
  6461 * Antiquotation @{lemma A method} proves proposition A by the given
  6462 method (either a method name or a method name plus (optional) method
  6463 arguments in parentheses) and prints A just like @{prop A}.
  6464 
  6465 
  6466 *** HOL ***
  6467 
  6468 * New primrec package.  Specification syntax conforms in style to
  6469 definition/function/....  No separate induction rule is provided.  The
  6470 "primrec" command distinguishes old-style and new-style specifications
  6471 by syntax.  The former primrec package is now named OldPrimrecPackage.
  6472 When adjusting theories, beware: constants stemming from new-style
  6473 primrec specifications have authentic syntax.
  6474 
  6475 * Metis prover is now an order of magnitude faster, and also works
  6476 with multithreading.
  6477 
  6478 * Metis: the maximum number of clauses that can be produced from a
  6479 theorem is now given by the attribute max_clauses.  Theorems that
  6480 exceed this number are ignored, with a warning printed.
  6481 
  6482 * Sledgehammer no longer produces structured proofs by default. To
  6483 enable, declare [[sledgehammer_full = true]].  Attributes
  6484 reconstruction_modulus, reconstruction_sorts renamed
  6485 sledgehammer_modulus, sledgehammer_sorts.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6486 
  6487 * Method "induct_scheme" derives user-specified induction rules
  6488 from well-founded induction and completeness of patterns. This factors
  6489 out some operations that are done internally by the function package
  6490 and makes them available separately.  See
  6491 src/HOL/ex/Induction_Scheme.thy for examples.
  6492 
  6493 * More flexible generation of measure functions for termination
  6494 proofs: Measure functions can be declared by proving a rule of the
  6495 form "is_measure f" and giving it the [measure_function] attribute.
  6496 The "is_measure" predicate is logically meaningless (always true), and
  6497 just guides the heuristic.  To find suitable measure functions, the
  6498 termination prover sets up the goal "is_measure ?f" of the appropriate
  6499 type and generates all solutions by Prolog-style backward proof using
  6500 the declared rules.
  6501 
  6502 This setup also deals with rules like
  6503 
  6504   "is_measure f ==> is_measure (list_size f)"
  6505 
  6506 which accommodates nested datatypes that recurse through lists.
  6507 Similar rules are predeclared for products and option types.
  6508 
  6509 * Turned the type of sets "'a set" into an abbreviation for "'a => bool"
  6510 
  6511   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  6512 
  6513   - Definitions of overloaded constants on sets have to be replaced by
  6514     definitions on => and bool.
  6515 
  6516   - Some definitions of overloaded operators on sets can now be proved
  6517     using the definitions of the operators on => and bool.  Therefore,
  6518     the following theorems have been renamed:
  6519 
  6520       subset_def   -> subset_eq
  6521       psubset_def  -> psubset_eq
  6522       set_diff_def -> set_diff_eq
  6523       Compl_def    -> Compl_eq
  6524       Sup_set_def  -> Sup_set_eq
  6525       Inf_set_def  -> Inf_set_eq
  6526       sup_set_def  -> sup_set_eq
  6527       inf_set_def  -> inf_set_eq
  6528 
  6529   - Due to the incompleteness of the HO unification algorithm, some
  6530     rules such as subst may require manual instantiation, if some of
  6531     the unknowns in the rule is a set.
  6532 
  6533   - Higher order unification and forward proofs:
  6534     The proof pattern
  6535 
  6536       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  6537       then have "EX S. P S" ..
  6538 
  6539     no longer works (due to the incompleteness of the HO unification
  6540     algorithm) and must be replaced by the pattern
  6541 
  6542       have "EX S. P S"
  6543       proof
  6544         show "P S" <...>
  6545       qed
  6546 
  6547   - Calculational reasoning with subst (or similar rules):
  6548     The proof pattern
  6549 
  6550       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  6551       also have "S = T" <...>
  6552       finally have "P T" .
  6553 
  6554     no longer works (for similar reasons as the previous example) and
  6555     must be replaced by something like
  6556 
  6557       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  6558       moreover have "S = T" <...>
  6559       ultimately have "P T" by simp
  6560 
  6561   - Tactics or packages written in ML code:
  6562     Code performing pattern matching on types via
  6563 
  6564       Type ("set", [T]) => ...
  6565 
  6566     must be rewritten. Moreover, functions like strip_type or
  6567     binder_types no longer return the right value when applied to a
  6568     type of the form
  6569 
  6570       T1 => ... => Tn => U => bool
  6571 
  6572     rather than
  6573 
  6574       T1 => ... => Tn => U set
  6575 
  6576 * Merged theories Wellfounded_Recursion, Accessible_Part and
  6577 Wellfounded_Relations to theory Wellfounded.
  6578 
  6579 * Explicit class "eq" for executable equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6580 
  6581 * Class finite no longer treats UNIV as class parameter.  Use class
  6582 enum from theory Library/Enum instead to achieve a similar effect.
  6583 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6584 
  6585 * Theory List: rule list_induct2 now has explicitly named cases "Nil"
  6586 and "Cons".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6587 
  6588 * HOL (and FOL): renamed variables in rules imp_elim and swap.
  6589 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6590 
  6591 * Theory Product_Type: duplicated lemmas split_Pair_apply and
  6592 injective_fst_snd removed, use split_eta and prod_eqI instead.
  6593 Renamed upd_fst to apfst and upd_snd to apsnd.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6594 
  6595 * Theory Nat: removed redundant lemmas that merely duplicate lemmas of
  6596 the same name in theory Orderings:
  6597 
  6598   less_trans
  6599   less_linear
  6600   le_imp_less_or_eq
  6601   le_less_trans
  6602   less_le_trans
  6603   less_not_sym
  6604   less_asym
  6605 
  6606 Renamed less_imp_le to less_imp_le_nat, and less_irrefl to
  6607 less_irrefl_nat.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to more general types
  6608 and different variable names.
  6609 
  6610 * Library/Option_ord.thy: Canonical order on option type.
  6611 
  6612 * Library/RBT.thy: Red-black trees, an efficient implementation of
  6613 finite maps.
  6614 
  6615 * Library/Countable.thy: Type class for countable types.
  6616 
  6617 * Theory Int: The representation of numerals has changed.  The infix
  6618 operator BIT and the bit datatype with constructors B0 and B1 have
  6619 disappeared.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "Int.Bit0 x" and "Int.Bit1 y" in
  6620 place of "x BIT bit.B0" and "y BIT bit.B1", respectively.  Theorems
  6621 involving BIT, B0, or B1 have been renamed with "Bit0" or "Bit1"
  6622 accordingly.
  6623 
  6624 * Theory Nat: definition of <= and < on natural numbers no longer
  6625 depend on well-founded relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Definitions
  6626 le_def and less_def have disappeared.  Consider lemmas not_less
  6627 [symmetric, where ?'a = nat] and less_eq [symmetric] instead.
  6628 
  6629 * Theory Finite_Set: locales ACf, ACe, ACIf, ACIfSL and ACIfSLlin
  6630 (whose purpose mainly is for various fold_set functionals) have been
  6631 abandoned in favor of the existing algebraic classes
  6632 ab_semigroup_mult, comm_monoid_mult, ab_semigroup_idem_mult,
  6633 lower_semilattice (resp. upper_semilattice) and linorder.
  6634 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6635 
  6636 * Theory Transitive_Closure: induct and cases rules now declare proper
  6637 case_names ("base" and "step").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6638 
  6639 * Theorem Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct generalized to complete
  6640 lattices.  The form set-specific version is available as
  6641 Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct_set.
  6642 
  6643 * Renamed theorems "power.simps" to "power_int.simps".
  6644 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6645 
  6646 * Class semiring_div provides basic abstract properties of semirings
  6647 with division and modulo operations.  Subsumes former class dvd_mod.
  6648 
  6649 * Merged theories IntDef, Numeral and IntArith into unified theory
  6650 Int.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6651 
  6652 * Theory Library/Code_Index: type "index" now represents natural
  6653 numbers rather than integers.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6654 
  6655 * New class "uminus" with operation "uminus" (split of from class
  6656 "minus" which now only has operation "minus", binary).
  6657 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6658 
  6659 * Constants "card", "internal_split", "option_map" now with authentic
  6660 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6661 
  6662 * Definitions subset_def, psubset_def, set_diff_def, Compl_def,
  6663 le_bool_def, less_bool_def, le_fun_def, less_fun_def, inf_bool_def,
  6664 sup_bool_def, Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, inf_fun_def, sup_fun_def,
  6665 Inf_fun_def, Sup_fun_def, inf_set_def, sup_set_def, Inf_set_def,
  6666 Sup_set_def, le_def, less_def, option_map_def now with object
  6667 equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6668 
  6669 * Records. Removed K_record, and replaced it by pure lambda term
  6670 %x. c. The simplifier setup is now more robust against eta expansion.
  6671 INCOMPATIBILITY: in cases explicitly referring to K_record.
  6672 
  6673 * Library/Multiset: {#a, b, c#} abbreviates {#a#} + {#b#} + {#c#}.
  6674 
  6675 * Library/ListVector: new theory of arithmetic vector operations.
  6676 
  6677 * Library/Order_Relation: new theory of various orderings as sets of
  6678 pairs.  Defines preorders, partial orders, linear orders and
  6679 well-orders on sets and on types.
  6680 
  6681 
  6682 *** ZF ***
  6683 
  6684 * Renamed some theories to allow to loading both ZF and HOL in the
  6685 same session:
  6686 
  6687   Datatype  -> Datatype_ZF
  6688   Inductive -> Inductive_ZF
  6689   Int       -> Int_ZF
  6690   IntDiv    -> IntDiv_ZF
  6691   Nat       -> Nat_ZF
  6692   List      -> List_ZF
  6693   Main      -> Main_ZF
  6694 
  6695 INCOMPATIBILITY: ZF theories that import individual theories below
  6696 Main might need to be adapted.  Regular theory Main is still
  6697 available, as trivial extension of Main_ZF.
  6698 
  6699 
  6700 *** ML ***
  6701 
  6702 * ML within Isar: antiquotation @{const name} or @{const
  6703 name(typargs)} produces statically-checked Const term.
  6704 
  6705 * Functor NamedThmsFun: data is available to the user as dynamic fact
  6706 (of the same name).  Removed obsolete print command.
  6707 
  6708 * Removed obsolete "use_legacy_bindings" function.
  6709 
  6710 * The ``print mode'' is now a thread-local value derived from a global
  6711 template (the former print_mode reference), thus access becomes
  6712 non-critical.  The global print_mode reference is for session
  6713 management only; user-code should use print_mode_value,
  6714 print_mode_active, PrintMode.setmp etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6715 
  6716 * Functions system/system_out provide a robust way to invoke external
  6717 shell commands, with propagation of interrupts (requires Poly/ML
  6718 5.2.1).  Do not use OS.Process.system etc. from the basis library!
  6719 
  6720 
  6721 *** System ***
  6722 
  6723 * Default settings: PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS no longer impose xemacs ---
  6724 in accordance with Proof General 3.7, which prefers GNU emacs.
  6725 
  6726 * isatool tty runs Isabelle process with plain tty interaction;
  6727 optional line editor may be specified via ISABELLE_LINE_EDITOR
  6728 setting, the default settings attempt to locate "ledit" and "rlwrap".
  6729 
  6730 * isatool browser now works with Cygwin as well, using general
  6731 "javapath" function defined in Isabelle process environment.
  6732 
  6733 * YXML notation provides a simple and efficient alternative to
  6734 standard XML transfer syntax.  See src/Pure/General/yxml.ML and
  6735 isatool yxml as described in the Isabelle system manual.
  6736 
  6737 * JVM class isabelle.IsabelleProcess (located in Isabelle/lib/classes)
  6738 provides general wrapper for managing an Isabelle process in a robust
  6739 fashion, with ``cooked'' output from stdin/stderr.
  6740 
  6741 * Rudimentary Isabelle plugin for jEdit (see Isabelle/lib/jedit),
  6742 based on Isabelle/JVM process wrapper (see Isabelle/lib/classes).
  6743 
  6744 * Removed obsolete THIS_IS_ISABELLE_BUILD feature.  NB: the documented
  6745 way of changing the user's settings is via
  6746 ISABELLE_HOME_USER/etc/settings, which is a fully featured bash
  6747 script.
  6748 
  6749 * Multithreading.max_threads := 0 refers to the number of actual CPU
  6750 cores of the underlying machine, which is a good starting point for
  6751 optimal performance tuning.  The corresponding usedir option -M allows
  6752 "max" as an alias for "0".  WARNING: does not work on certain versions
  6753 of Mac OS (with Poly/ML 5.1).
  6754 
  6755 * isabelle-process: non-ML sessions are run with "nice", to reduce the
  6756 adverse effect of Isabelle flooding interactive front-ends (notably
  6757 ProofGeneral / XEmacs).
  6758 
  6759 
  6760 
  6761 New in Isabelle2007 (November 2007)
  6762 -----------------------------------
  6763 
  6764 *** General ***
  6765 
  6766 * More uniform information about legacy features, notably a
  6767 warning/error of "Legacy feature: ...", depending on the state of the
  6768 tolerate_legacy_features flag (default true). FUTURE INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6769 legacy features will disappear eventually.
  6770 
  6771 * Theory syntax: the header format ``theory A = B + C:'' has been
  6772 discontinued in favour of ``theory A imports B C begin''.  Use isatool
  6773 fixheaders to convert existing theory files.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6774 
  6775 * Theory syntax: the old non-Isar theory file format has been
  6776 discontinued altogether.  Note that ML proof scripts may still be used
  6777 with Isar theories; migration is usually quite simple with the ML
  6778 function use_legacy_bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6779 
  6780 * Theory syntax: some popular names (e.g. 'class', 'declaration',
  6781 'fun', 'help', 'if') are now keywords.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use double
  6782 quotes.
  6783 
  6784 * Theory loader: be more serious about observing the static theory
  6785 header specifications (including optional directories), but not the
  6786 accidental file locations of previously successful loads.  The strict
  6787 update policy of former update_thy is now already performed by
  6788 use_thy, so the former has been removed; use_thys updates several
  6789 theories simultaneously, just as 'imports' within a theory header
  6790 specification, but without merging the results.  Potential
  6791 INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to refine theory headers and commands
  6792 ROOT.ML which depend on load order.
  6793 
  6794 * Theory loader: optional support for content-based file
  6795 identification, instead of the traditional scheme of full physical
  6796 path plus date stamp; configured by the ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT setting
  6797 (cf. the system manual).  The new scheme allows to work with
  6798 non-finished theories in persistent session images, such that source
  6799 files may be moved later on without requiring reloads.
  6800 
  6801 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  6802 file (with the same base name as the theory) are considered a legacy
  6803 feature, which will disappear eventually. Even now, the theory loader
  6804 no longer maintains dependencies on such files.
  6805 
  6806 * Syntax: the scope for resolving ambiguities via type-inference is
  6807 now limited to individual terms, instead of whole simultaneous
  6808 specifications as before. This greatly reduces the complexity of the
  6809 syntax module and improves flexibility by separating parsing and
  6810 type-checking. INCOMPATIBILITY: additional type-constraints (explicit
  6811 'fixes' etc.) are required in rare situations.
  6812 
  6813 * Syntax: constants introduced by new-style packages ('definition',
  6814 'abbreviation' etc.) are passed through the syntax module in
  6815 ``authentic mode''. This means that associated mixfix annotations
  6816 really stick to such constants, independently of potential name space
  6817 ambiguities introduced later on. INCOMPATIBILITY: constants in parse
  6818 trees are represented slightly differently, may need to adapt syntax
  6819 translations accordingly. Use CONST marker in 'translations' and
  6820 @{const_syntax} antiquotation in 'parse_translation' etc.
  6821 
  6822 * Legacy goal package: reduced interface to the bare minimum required
  6823 to keep existing proof scripts running.  Most other user-level
  6824 functions are now part of the OldGoals structure, which is *not* open
  6825 by default (consider isatool expandshort before open OldGoals).
  6826 Removed top_sg, prin, printyp, pprint_term/typ altogether, because
  6827 these tend to cause confusion about the actual goal (!) context being
  6828 used here, which is not necessarily the same as the_context().
  6829 
  6830 * Command 'find_theorems': supports "*" wild-card in "name:"
  6831 criterion; "with_dups" option.  Certain ProofGeneral versions might
  6832 support a specific search form (see ProofGeneral/CHANGES).
  6833 
  6834 * The ``prems limit'' option (cf. ProofContext.prems_limit) is now -1
  6835 by default, which means that "prems" (and also "fixed variables") are
  6836 suppressed from proof state output.  Note that the ProofGeneral
  6837 settings mechanism allows to change and save options persistently, but
  6838 older versions of Isabelle will fail to start up if a negative prems
  6839 limit is imposed.
  6840 
  6841 * Local theory targets may be specified by non-nested blocks of
  6842 ``context/locale/class ... begin'' followed by ``end''.  The body may
  6843 contain definitions, theorems etc., including any derived mechanism
  6844 that has been implemented on top of these primitives.  This concept
  6845 generalizes the existing ``theorem (in ...)'' towards more versatility
  6846 and scalability.
  6847 
  6848 * Proof General interface: proper undo of final 'end' command;
  6849 discontinued Isabelle/classic mode (ML proof scripts).
  6850 
  6851 
  6852 *** Document preparation ***
  6853 
  6854 * Added antiquotation @{theory name} which prints the given name,
  6855 after checking that it refers to a valid ancestor theory in the
  6856 current context.
  6857 
  6858 * Added antiquotations @{ML_type text} and @{ML_struct text} which
  6859 check the given source text as ML type/structure, printing verbatim.
  6860 
  6861 * Added antiquotation @{abbrev "c args"} which prints the abbreviation
  6862 "c args == rhs" given in the current context.  (Any number of
  6863 arguments may be given on the LHS.)
  6864 
  6865 
  6866 *** Pure ***
  6867 
  6868 * The 'class' package offers a combination of axclass and locale to
  6869 achieve Haskell-like type classes in Isabelle.  Definitions and
  6870 theorems within a class context produce both relative results (with
  6871 implicit parameters according to the locale context), and polymorphic
  6872 constants with qualified polymorphism (according to the class
  6873 context).  Within the body context of a 'class' target, a separate
  6874 syntax layer ("user space type system") takes care of converting
  6875 between global polymorphic consts and internal locale representation.
  6876 See src/HOL/ex/Classpackage.thy for examples (as well as main HOL).
  6877 "isatool doc classes" provides a tutorial.
  6878 
  6879 * Generic code generator framework allows to generate executable
  6880 code for ML and Haskell (including Isabelle classes).  A short usage
  6881 sketch:
  6882 
  6883     internal compilation:
  6884         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML
  6885     writing SML code to a file:
  6886         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML <filename>
  6887     writing OCaml code to a file:
  6888         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in OCaml <filename>
  6889     writing Haskell code to a bunch of files:
  6890         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in Haskell <filename>
  6891 
  6892     evaluating closed propositions to True/False using code generation:
  6893         method ``eval''
  6894 
  6895 Reasonable default setup of framework in HOL.
  6896 
  6897 Theorem attributs for selecting and transforming function equations theorems:
  6898 
  6899     [code fun]:        select a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  6900     [code fun del]:    deselect a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  6901     [code inline]:     select an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  6902     [code inline del]: deselect an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  6903 
  6904 User-defined serializations (target in {SML, OCaml, Haskell}):
  6905 
  6906     code_const <and-list of constants (term syntax)>
  6907       {(target) <and-list of const target syntax>}+
  6908 
  6909     code_type <and-list of type constructors>
  6910       {(target) <and-list of type target syntax>}+
  6911 
  6912     code_instance <and-list of instances>
  6913       {(target)}+
  6914         where instance ::= <type constructor> :: <class>
  6915 
  6916     code_class <and_list of classes>
  6917       {(target) <and-list of class target syntax>}+
  6918         where class target syntax ::= <class name> {where {<classop> == <target syntax>}+}?
  6919 
  6920 code_instance and code_class only are effective to target Haskell.
  6921 
  6922 For example usage see src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator.thy and
  6923 src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator_Pretty.thy.  A separate tutorial on code
  6924 generation from Isabelle/HOL theories is available via "isatool doc
  6925 codegen".
  6926 
  6927 * Code generator: consts in 'consts_code' Isar commands are now
  6928 referred to by usual term syntax (including optional type
  6929 annotations).
  6930 
  6931 * Command 'no_translations' removes translation rules from theory
  6932 syntax.
  6933 
  6934 * Overloaded definitions are now actually checked for acyclic
  6935 dependencies.  The overloading scheme is slightly more general than
  6936 that of Haskell98, although Isabelle does not demand an exact
  6937 correspondence to type class and instance declarations.
  6938 INCOMPATIBILITY, use ``defs (unchecked overloaded)'' to admit more
  6939 exotic versions of overloading -- at the discretion of the user!
  6940 
  6941 Polymorphic constants are represented via type arguments, i.e. the
  6942 instantiation that matches an instance against the most general
  6943 declaration given in the signature.  For example, with the declaration
  6944 c :: 'a => 'a => 'a, an instance c :: nat => nat => nat is represented
  6945 as c(nat).  Overloading is essentially simultaneous structural
  6946 recursion over such type arguments.  Incomplete specification patterns
  6947 impose global constraints on all occurrences, e.g. c('a * 'a) on the
  6948 LHS means that more general c('a * 'b) will be disallowed on any RHS.
  6949 Command 'print_theory' outputs the normalized system of recursive
  6950 equations, see section "definitions".
  6951 
  6952 * Configuration options are maintained within the theory or proof
  6953 context (with name and type bool/int/string), providing a very simple
  6954 interface to a poor-man's version of general context data.  Tools may
  6955 declare options in ML (e.g. using Attrib.config_int) and then refer to
  6956 these values using Config.get etc.  Users may change options via an
  6957 associated attribute of the same name.  This form of context
  6958 declaration works particularly well with commands 'declare' or
  6959 'using', for example ``declare [[foo = 42]]''.  Thus it has become
  6960 very easy to avoid global references, which would not observe Isar
  6961 toplevel undo/redo and fail to work with multithreading.
  6962 
  6963 Various global ML references of Pure and HOL have been turned into
  6964 configuration options:
  6965 
  6966   Unify.search_bound		unify_search_bound
  6967   Unify.trace_bound		unify_trace_bound
  6968   Unify.trace_simp		unify_trace_simp
  6969   Unify.trace_types		unify_trace_types
  6970   Simplifier.simp_depth_limit	simp_depth_limit
  6971   Blast.depth_limit		blast_depth_limit
  6972   DatatypeProp.dtK		datatype_distinctness_limit
  6973   fast_arith_neq_limit  	fast_arith_neq_limit
  6974   fast_arith_split_limit	fast_arith_split_limit
  6975 
  6976 * Named collections of theorems may be easily installed as context
  6977 data using the functor NamedThmsFun (see also
  6978 src/Pure/Tools/named_thms.ML).  The user may add or delete facts via
  6979 attributes; there is also a toplevel print command.  This facility is
  6980 just a common case of general context data, which is the preferred way
  6981 for anything more complex than just a list of facts in canonical
  6982 order.
  6983 
  6984 * Isar: command 'declaration' augments a local theory by generic
  6985 declaration functions written in ML.  This enables arbitrary content
  6986 being added to the context, depending on a morphism that tells the
  6987 difference of the original declaration context wrt. the application
  6988 context encountered later on.
  6989 
  6990 * Isar: proper interfaces for simplification procedures.  Command
  6991 'simproc_setup' declares named simprocs (with match patterns, and body
  6992 text in ML).  Attribute "simproc" adds/deletes simprocs in the current
  6993 context.  ML antiquotation @{simproc name} retrieves named simprocs.
  6994 
  6995 * Isar: an extra pair of brackets around attribute declarations
  6996 abbreviates a theorem reference involving an internal dummy fact,
  6997 which will be ignored later --- only the effect of the attribute on
  6998 the background context will persist.  This form of in-place
  6999 declarations is particularly useful with commands like 'declare' and
  7000 'using', for example ``have A using [[simproc a]] by simp''.
  7001 
  7002 * Isar: method "assumption" (and implicit closing of subproofs) now
  7003 takes simple non-atomic goal assumptions into account: after applying
  7004 an assumption as a rule the resulting subgoals are solved by atomic
  7005 assumption steps.  This is particularly useful to finish 'obtain'
  7006 goals, such as "!!x. (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> P x ==> thesis",
  7007 without referring to the original premise "!!x. P x ==> thesis" in the
  7008 Isar proof context.  POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY: method "assumption" is
  7009 more permissive.
  7010 
  7011 * Isar: implicit use of prems from the Isar proof context is
  7012 considered a legacy feature.  Common applications like ``have A .''
  7013 may be replaced by ``have A by fact'' or ``note `A`''.  In general,
  7014 referencing facts explicitly here improves readability and
  7015 maintainability of proof texts.
  7016 
  7017 * Isar: improper proof element 'guess' is like 'obtain', but derives
  7018 the obtained context from the course of reasoning!  For example:
  7019 
  7020   assume "EX x y. A x & B y"   -- "any previous fact"
  7021   then guess x and y by clarify
  7022 
  7023 This technique is potentially adventurous, depending on the facts and
  7024 proof tools being involved here.
  7025 
  7026 * Isar: known facts from the proof context may be specified as literal
  7027 propositions, using ASCII back-quote syntax.  This works wherever
  7028 named facts used to be allowed so far, in proof commands, proof
  7029 methods, attributes etc.  Literal facts are retrieved from the context
  7030 according to unification of type and term parameters.  For example,
  7031 provided that "A" and "A ==> B" and "!!x. P x ==> Q x" are known
  7032 theorems in the current context, then these are valid literal facts:
  7033 `A` and `A ==> B` and `!!x. P x ==> Q x" as well as `P a ==> Q a` etc.
  7034 
  7035 There is also a proof method "fact" which does the same composition
  7036 for explicit goal states, e.g. the following proof texts coincide with
  7037 certain special cases of literal facts:
  7038 
  7039   have "A" by fact                 ==  note `A`
  7040   have "A ==> B" by fact           ==  note `A ==> B`
  7041   have "!!x. P x ==> Q x" by fact  ==  note `!!x. P x ==> Q x`
  7042   have "P a ==> Q a" by fact       ==  note `P a ==> Q a`
  7043 
  7044 * Isar: ":" (colon) is no longer a symbolic identifier character in
  7045 outer syntax.  Thus symbolic identifiers may be used without
  7046 additional white space in declarations like this: ``assume *: A''.
  7047 
  7048 * Isar: 'print_facts' prints all local facts of the current context,
  7049 both named and unnamed ones.
  7050 
  7051 * Isar: 'def' now admits simultaneous definitions, e.g.:
  7052 
  7053   def x == "t" and y == "u"
  7054 
  7055 * Isar: added command 'unfolding', which is structurally similar to
  7056 'using', but affects both the goal state and facts by unfolding given
  7057 rewrite rules.  Thus many occurrences of the 'unfold' method or
  7058 'unfolded' attribute may be replaced by first-class proof text.
  7059 
  7060 * Isar: methods 'unfold' / 'fold', attributes 'unfolded' / 'folded',
  7061 and command 'unfolding' now all support object-level equalities
  7062 (potentially conditional).  The underlying notion of rewrite rule is
  7063 analogous to the 'rule_format' attribute, but *not* that of the
  7064 Simplifier (which is usually more generous).
  7065 
  7066 * Isar: the new attribute [rotated n] (default n = 1) rotates the
  7067 premises of a theorem by n. Useful in conjunction with drule.
  7068 
  7069 * Isar: the goal restriction operator [N] (default N = 1) evaluates a
  7070 method expression within a sandbox consisting of the first N
  7071 sub-goals, which need to exist.  For example, ``simp_all [3]''
  7072 simplifies the first three sub-goals, while (rule foo, simp_all)[]
  7073 simplifies all new goals that emerge from applying rule foo to the
  7074 originally first one.
  7075 
  7076 * Isar: schematic goals are no longer restricted to higher-order
  7077 patterns; e.g. ``lemma "?P(?x)" by (rule TrueI)'' now works as
  7078 expected.
  7079 
  7080 * Isar: the conclusion of a long theorem statement is now either
  7081 'shows' (a simultaneous conjunction, as before), or 'obtains'
  7082 (essentially a disjunction of cases with local parameters and
  7083 assumptions).  The latter allows to express general elimination rules
  7084 adequately; in this notation common elimination rules look like this:
  7085 
  7086   lemma exE:    -- "EX x. P x ==> (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  7087     assumes "EX x. P x"
  7088     obtains x where "P x"
  7089 
  7090   lemma conjE:  -- "A & B ==> (A ==> B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  7091     assumes "A & B"
  7092     obtains A and B
  7093 
  7094   lemma disjE:  -- "A | B ==> (A ==> thesis) ==> (B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  7095     assumes "A | B"
  7096     obtains
  7097       A
  7098     | B
  7099 
  7100 The subsequent classical rules even refer to the formal "thesis"
  7101 explicitly:
  7102 
  7103   lemma classical:     -- "(~ thesis ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  7104     obtains "~ thesis"
  7105 
  7106   lemma Peirce's_Law:  -- "((thesis ==> something) ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  7107     obtains "thesis ==> something"
  7108 
  7109 The actual proof of an 'obtains' statement is analogous to that of the
  7110 Isar proof element 'obtain', only that there may be several cases.
  7111 Optional case names may be specified in parentheses; these will be
  7112 available both in the present proof and as annotations in the
  7113 resulting rule, for later use with the 'cases' method (cf. attribute
  7114 case_names).
  7115 
  7116 * Isar: the assumptions of a long theorem statement are available as
  7117 "assms" fact in the proof context.  This is more appropriate than the
  7118 (historical) "prems", which refers to all assumptions of the current
  7119 context, including those from the target locale, proof body etc.
  7120 
  7121 * Isar: 'print_statement' prints theorems from the current theory or
  7122 proof context in long statement form, according to the syntax of a
  7123 top-level lemma.
  7124 
  7125 * Isar: 'obtain' takes an optional case name for the local context
  7126 introduction rule (default "that").
  7127 
  7128 * Isar: removed obsolete 'concl is' patterns.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  7129 explicit (is "_ ==> ?foo") in the rare cases where this still happens
  7130 to occur.
  7131 
  7132 * Pure: syntax "CONST name" produces a fully internalized constant
  7133 according to the current context.  This is particularly useful for
  7134 syntax translations that should refer to internal constant
  7135 representations independently of name spaces.
  7136 
  7137 * Pure: syntax constant for foo (binder "FOO ") is called "foo_binder"
  7138 instead of "FOO ". This allows multiple binder declarations to coexist
  7139 in the same context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7140 
  7141 * Isar/locales: 'notation' provides a robust interface to the 'syntax'
  7142 primitive that also works in a locale context (both for constants and
  7143 fixed variables). Type declaration and internal syntactic representation
  7144 of given constants retrieved from the context. Likewise, the
  7145 'no_notation' command allows to remove given syntax annotations from the
  7146 current context.
  7147 
  7148 * Isar/locales: new derived specification elements 'axiomatization',
  7149 'definition', 'abbreviation', which support type-inference, admit
  7150 object-level specifications (equality, equivalence).  See also the
  7151 isar-ref manual.  Examples:
  7152 
  7153   axiomatization
  7154     eq  (infix "===" 50) where
  7155     eq_refl: "x === x" and eq_subst: "x === y ==> P x ==> P y"
  7156 
  7157   definition "f x y = x + y + 1"
  7158   definition g where "g x = f x x"
  7159 
  7160   abbreviation
  7161     neq  (infix "=!=" 50) where
  7162     "x =!= y == ~ (x === y)"
  7163 
  7164 These specifications may be also used in a locale context.  Then the
  7165 constants being introduced depend on certain fixed parameters, and the
  7166 constant name is qualified by the locale base name.  An internal
  7167 abbreviation takes care for convenient input and output, making the
  7168 parameters implicit and using the original short name.  See also
  7169 src/HOL/ex/Abstract_NAT.thy for an example of deriving polymorphic
  7170 entities from a monomorphic theory.
  7171 
  7172 Presently, abbreviations are only available 'in' a target locale, but
  7173 not inherited by general import expressions.  Also note that
  7174 'abbreviation' may be used as a type-safe replacement for 'syntax' +
  7175 'translations' in common applications.  The "no_abbrevs" print mode
  7176 prevents folding of abbreviations in term output.
  7177 
  7178 Concrete syntax is attached to specified constants in internal form,
  7179 independently of name spaces.  The parse tree representation is
  7180 slightly different -- use 'notation' instead of raw 'syntax', and
  7181 'translations' with explicit "CONST" markup to accommodate this.
  7182 
  7183 * Pure/Isar: unified syntax for new-style specification mechanisms
  7184 (e.g.  'definition', 'abbreviation', or 'inductive' in HOL) admits
  7185 full type inference and dummy patterns ("_").  For example:
  7186 
  7187   definition "K x _ = x"
  7188 
  7189   inductive conj for A B
  7190   where "A ==> B ==> conj A B"
  7191 
  7192 * Pure: command 'print_abbrevs' prints all constant abbreviations of
  7193 the current context.  Print mode "no_abbrevs" prevents inversion of
  7194 abbreviations on output.
  7195 
  7196 * Isar/locales: improved parameter handling: use of locales "var" and
  7197 "struct" no longer necessary; - parameter renamings are no longer
  7198 required to be injective.  For example, this allows to define
  7199 endomorphisms as locale endom = homom mult mult h.
  7200 
  7201 * Isar/locales: changed the way locales with predicates are defined.
  7202 Instead of accumulating the specification, the imported expression is
  7203 now an interpretation.  INCOMPATIBILITY: different normal form of
  7204 locale expressions.  In particular, in interpretations of locales with
  7205 predicates, goals repesenting already interpreted fragments are not
  7206 removed automatically.  Use methods `intro_locales' and
  7207 `unfold_locales'; see below.
  7208 
  7209 * Isar/locales: new methods `intro_locales' and `unfold_locales'
  7210 provide backward reasoning on locales predicates.  The methods are
  7211 aware of interpretations and discharge corresponding goals.
  7212 `intro_locales' is less aggressive then `unfold_locales' and does not
  7213 unfold predicates to assumptions.
  7214 
  7215 * Isar/locales: the order in which locale fragments are accumulated
  7216 has changed.  This enables to override declarations from fragments due
  7217 to interpretations -- for example, unwanted simp rules.
  7218 
  7219 * Isar/locales: interpretation in theories and proof contexts has been
  7220 extended.  One may now specify (and prove) equations, which are
  7221 unfolded in interpreted theorems.  This is useful for replacing
  7222 defined concepts (constants depending on locale parameters) by
  7223 concepts already existing in the target context.  Example:
  7224 
  7225   interpretation partial_order ["op <= :: [int, int] => bool"]
  7226     where "partial_order.less (op <=) (x::int) y = (x < y)"
  7227 
  7228 Typically, the constant `partial_order.less' is created by a
  7229 definition specification element in the context of locale
  7230 partial_order.
  7231 
  7232 * Method "induct": improved internal context management to support
  7233 local fixes and defines on-the-fly. Thus explicit meta-level
  7234 connectives !!  and ==> are rarely required anymore in inductive goals
  7235 (using object-logic connectives for this purpose has been long
  7236 obsolete anyway). Common proof patterns are explained in
  7237 src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, see also
  7238 src/HOL/Isar_examples/Puzzle.thy and src/HOL/Lambda for realistic
  7239 examples.
  7240 
  7241 * Method "induct": improved handling of simultaneous goals. Instead of
  7242 introducing object-level conjunction, the statement is now split into
  7243 several conclusions, while the corresponding symbolic cases are nested
  7244 accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY, proofs need to be structured explicitly,
  7245 see src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, for example.
  7246 
  7247 * Method "induct": mutual induction rules are now specified as a list
  7248 of rule sharing the same induction cases. HOL packages usually provide
  7249 foo_bar.inducts for mutually defined items foo and bar (e.g. inductive
  7250 predicates/sets or datatypes). INCOMPATIBILITY, users need to specify
  7251 mutual induction rules differently, i.e. like this:
  7252 
  7253   (induct rule: foo_bar.inducts)
  7254   (induct set: foo bar)
  7255   (induct pred: foo bar)
  7256   (induct type: foo bar)
  7257 
  7258 The ML function ProjectRule.projections turns old-style rules into the
  7259 new format.
  7260 
  7261 * Method "coinduct": dual of induction, see
  7262 src/HOL/Library/Coinductive_List.thy for various examples.
  7263 
  7264 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": the ``(open)'' option is
  7265 considered a legacy feature.
  7266 
  7267 * Attribute "symmetric" produces result with standardized schematic
  7268 variables (index 0).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7269 
  7270 * Simplifier: by default the simplifier trace only shows top level
  7271 rewrites now. That is, trace_simp_depth_limit is set to 1 by
  7272 default. Thus there is less danger of being flooded by the trace. The
  7273 trace indicates where parts have been suppressed.
  7274 
  7275 * Provers/classical: removed obsolete classical version of elim_format
  7276 attribute; classical elim/dest rules are now treated uniformly when
  7277 manipulating the claset.
  7278 
  7279 * Provers/classical: stricter checks to ensure that supplied intro,
  7280 dest and elim rules are well-formed; dest and elim rules must have at
  7281 least one premise.
  7282 
  7283 * Provers/classical: attributes dest/elim/intro take an optional
  7284 weight argument for the rule (just as the Pure versions).  Weights are
  7285 ignored by automated tools, but determine the search order of single
  7286 rule steps.
  7287 
  7288 * Syntax: input syntax now supports dummy variable binding "%_. b",
  7289 where the body does not mention the bound variable.  Note that dummy
  7290 patterns implicitly depend on their context of bounds, which makes
  7291 "{_. _}" match any set comprehension as expected.  Potential
  7292 INCOMPATIBILITY -- parse translations need to cope with syntactic
  7293 constant "_idtdummy" in the binding position.
  7294 
  7295 * Syntax: removed obsolete syntactic constant "_K" and its associated
  7296 parse translation.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- use dummy abstraction instead,
  7297 for example "A -> B" => "Pi A (%_. B)".
  7298 
  7299 * Pure: 'class_deps' command visualizes the subclass relation, using
  7300 the graph browser tool.
  7301 
  7302 * Pure: 'print_theory' now suppresses certain internal declarations by
  7303 default; use '!' option for full details.
  7304 
  7305 
  7306 *** HOL ***
  7307 
  7308 * Method "metis" proves goals by applying the Metis general-purpose
  7309 resolution prover (see also http://gilith.com/software/metis/).
  7310 Examples are in the directory MetisExamples.  WARNING: the
  7311 Isabelle/HOL-Metis integration does not yet work properly with
  7312 multi-threading.
  7313 
  7314 * Command 'sledgehammer' invokes external automatic theorem provers as
  7315 background processes.  It generates calls to the "metis" method if
  7316 successful. These can be pasted into the proof.  Users do not have to
  7317 wait for the automatic provers to return.  WARNING: does not really
  7318 work with multi-threading.
  7319 
  7320 * New "auto_quickcheck" feature tests outermost goal statements for
  7321 potential counter-examples.  Controlled by ML references
  7322 auto_quickcheck (default true) and auto_quickcheck_time_limit (default
  7323 5000 milliseconds).  Fails silently if statements is outside of
  7324 executable fragment, or any other codgenerator problem occurs.
  7325 
  7326 * New constant "undefined" with axiom "undefined x = undefined".
  7327 
  7328 * Added class "HOL.eq", allowing for code generation with polymorphic
  7329 equality.
  7330 
  7331 * Some renaming of class constants due to canonical name prefixing in
  7332 the new 'class' package:
  7333 
  7334     HOL.abs ~> HOL.abs_class.abs
  7335     HOL.divide ~> HOL.divide_class.divide
  7336     0 ~> HOL.zero_class.zero
  7337     1 ~> HOL.one_class.one
  7338     op + ~> HOL.plus_class.plus
  7339     op - ~> HOL.minus_class.minus
  7340     uminus ~> HOL.minus_class.uminus
  7341     op * ~> HOL.times_class.times
  7342     op < ~> HOL.ord_class.less
  7343     op <= > HOL.ord_class.less_eq
  7344     Nat.power ~> Power.power_class.power
  7345     Nat.size ~> Nat.size_class.size
  7346     Numeral.number_of ~> Numeral.number_class.number_of
  7347     FixedPoint.Inf ~> Lattices.complete_lattice_class.Inf
  7348     FixedPoint.Sup ~> Lattices.complete_lattice_class.Sup
  7349     Orderings.min ~> Orderings.ord_class.min
  7350     Orderings.max ~> Orderings.ord_class.max
  7351     Divides.op div ~> Divides.div_class.div
  7352     Divides.op mod ~> Divides.div_class.mod
  7353     Divides.op dvd ~> Divides.div_class.dvd
  7354 
  7355 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Adaptions may be required in the following cases:
  7356 
  7357 a) User-defined constants using any of the names "plus", "minus",
  7358 "times", "less" or "less_eq". The standard syntax translations for
  7359 "+", "-" and "*" may go wrong.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific
  7360 names.
  7361 
  7362 b) Variables named "plus", "minus", "times", "less", "less_eq"
  7363 INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific names.
  7364 
  7365 c) Permutative equations (e.g. "a + b = b + a")
  7366 Since the change of names also changes the order of terms, permutative
  7367 rewrite rules may get applied in a different order. Experience shows
  7368 that this is rarely the case (only two adaptions in the whole Isabelle
  7369 distribution).  INCOMPATIBILITY: rewrite proofs
  7370 
  7371 d) ML code directly refering to constant names
  7372 This in general only affects hand-written proof tactics, simprocs and
  7373 so on.  INCOMPATIBILITY: grep your sourcecode and replace names.
  7374 Consider using @{const_name} antiquotation.
  7375 
  7376 * New class "default" with associated constant "default".
  7377 
  7378 * Function "sgn" is now overloaded and available on int, real, complex
  7379 (and other numeric types), using class "sgn".  Two possible defs of
  7380 sgn are given as equational assumptions in the classes sgn_if and
  7381 sgn_div_norm; ordered_idom now also inherits from sgn_if.
  7382 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7383 
  7384 * Locale "partial_order" now unified with class "order" (cf. theory
  7385 Orderings), added parameter "less".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7386 
  7387 * Renamings in classes "order" and "linorder": facts "refl", "trans" and
  7388 "cases" to "order_refl", "order_trans" and "linorder_cases", to avoid
  7389 clashes with HOL "refl" and "trans".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7390 
  7391 * Classes "order" and "linorder": potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to
  7392 changed order of proof goals in instance proofs.
  7393 
  7394 * The transitivity reasoner for partial and linear orders is set up
  7395 for classes "order" and "linorder".  Instances of the reasoner are available
  7396 in all contexts importing or interpreting the corresponding locales.
  7397 Method "order" invokes the reasoner separately; the reasoner
  7398 is also integrated with the Simplifier as a solver.  Diagnostic
  7399 command 'print_orders' shows the available instances of the reasoner
  7400 in the current context.
  7401 
  7402 * Localized monotonicity predicate in theory "Orderings"; integrated
  7403 lemmas max_of_mono and min_of_mono with this predicate.
  7404 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7405 
  7406 * Formulation of theorem "dense" changed slightly due to integration
  7407 with new class dense_linear_order.
  7408 
  7409 * Uniform lattice theory development in HOL.
  7410 
  7411     constants "meet" and "join" now named "inf" and "sup"
  7412     constant "Meet" now named "Inf"
  7413 
  7414     classes "meet_semilorder" and "join_semilorder" now named
  7415       "lower_semilattice" and "upper_semilattice"
  7416     class "lorder" now named "lattice"
  7417     class "comp_lat" now named "complete_lattice"
  7418 
  7419     Instantiation of lattice classes allows explicit definitions
  7420     for "inf" and "sup" operations (or "Inf" and "Sup" for complete lattices).
  7421 
  7422   INCOMPATIBILITY.  Theorem renames:

  7524 
  7525 * Added syntactic class "size"; overloaded constant "size" now has
  7526 type "'a::size ==> bool"
  7527 
  7528 * Internal reorganisation of `size' of datatypes: size theorems
  7529 "foo.size" are no longer subsumed by "foo.simps" (but are still
  7530 simplification rules by default!); theorems "prod.size" now named
  7531 "*.size".
  7532 
  7533 * Class "div" now inherits from class "times" rather than "type".
  7534 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7535 
  7536 * HOL/Finite_Set: "name-space" locales Lattice, Distrib_lattice,
  7537 Linorder etc.  have disappeared; operations defined in terms of
  7538 fold_set now are named Inf_fin, Sup_fin.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7539 
  7540 * HOL/Nat: neq0_conv no longer declared as iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7541 
  7542 * HOL-Word: New extensive library and type for generic, fixed size
  7543 machine words, with arithmetic, bit-wise, shifting and rotating
  7544 operations, reflection into int, nat, and bool lists, automation for
  7545 linear arithmetic (by automatic reflection into nat or int), including
  7546 lemmas on overflow and monotonicity.  Instantiated to all appropriate
  7547 arithmetic type classes, supporting automatic simplification of
  7548 numerals on all operations.
  7549 
  7550 * Library/Boolean_Algebra: locales for abstract boolean algebras.
  7551 
  7552 * Library/Numeral_Type: numbers as types, e.g. TYPE(32).
  7553 
  7554 * Code generator library theories:
  7555   - Code_Integer represents HOL integers by big integer literals in target
  7556     languages.
  7557   - Code_Char represents HOL characters by character literals in target
  7558     languages.
  7559   - Code_Char_chr like Code_Char, but also offers treatment of character
  7560     codes; includes Code_Integer.
  7561   - Executable_Set allows to generate code for finite sets using lists.
  7562   - Executable_Rat implements rational numbers as triples (sign, enumerator,
  7563     denominator).
  7564   - Executable_Real implements a subset of real numbers, namly those
  7565     representable by rational numbers.
  7566   - Efficient_Nat implements natural numbers by integers, which in general will
  7567     result in higher efficency; pattern matching with 0/Suc is eliminated;
  7568     includes Code_Integer.
  7569   - Code_Index provides an additional datatype index which is mapped to
  7570     target-language built-in integers.
  7571   - Code_Message provides an additional datatype message_string which is isomorphic to
  7572     strings; messages are mapped to target-language strings.
  7573 
  7574 * New package for inductive predicates
  7575 
  7576   An n-ary predicate p with m parameters z_1, ..., z_m can now be defined via
  7577 
  7578     inductive
  7579       p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7580       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7581     where
  7582       rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  7583     | ...
  7584 
  7585   with full support for type-inference, rather than
  7586 
  7587     consts s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7588 
  7589     abbreviation p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7590     where "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7591 
  7592     inductive "s z_1 ... z_m"
  7593     intros
  7594       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7595       ...
  7596 
  7597   For backward compatibility, there is a wrapper allowing inductive
  7598   sets to be defined with the new package via
  7599 
  7600     inductive_set
  7601       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7602       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7603     where
  7604       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7605     | ...
  7606 
  7607   or
  7608 
  7609     inductive_set
  7610       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7611       and p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7612       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7613     where
  7614       "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7615     | rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  7616     | ...
  7617 
  7618   if the additional syntax "p ..." is required.
  7619 
  7620   Numerous examples can be found in the subdirectories src/HOL/Auth,
  7621   src/HOL/Bali, src/HOL/Induct, and src/HOL/MicroJava.
  7622 
  7623   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  7624 
  7625   - Since declaration and definition of inductive sets or predicates
  7626     is no longer separated, abbreviations involving the newly
  7627     introduced sets or predicates must be specified together with the
  7628     introduction rules after the 'where' keyword (see above), rather
  7629     than before the actual inductive definition.
  7630 
  7631   - The variables in induction and elimination rules are now
  7632     quantified in the order of their occurrence in the introduction
  7633     rules, rather than in alphabetical order. Since this may break
  7634     some proofs, these proofs either have to be repaired, e.g. by
  7635     reordering the variables a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i} in Isar 'case'
  7636     statements of the form
  7637 
  7638       case (rule_i a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i})
  7639 
  7640     or the old order of quantification has to be restored by explicitly adding
  7641     meta-level quantifiers in the introduction rules, i.e.
  7642 
  7643       | rule_i: "!!a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i}. ... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_i_1 ... t_i_n"
  7644 
  7645   - The format of the elimination rules is now
  7646 
  7647       p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n ==>
  7648         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  7649         ==> ... ==> P
  7650 
  7651     for predicates and
  7652 
  7653       (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  7654         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  7655         ==> ... ==> P
  7656 
  7657     for sets rather than
  7658 
  7659       x : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  7660         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x = (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) ==> ... ==> P)
  7661         ==> ... ==> P
  7662 
  7663     This may require terms in goals to be expanded to n-tuples
  7664     (e.g. using case_tac or simplification with the split_paired_all
  7665     rule) before the above elimination rule is applicable.
  7666 
  7667   - The elimination or case analysis rules for (mutually) inductive
  7668     sets or predicates are now called "p_1.cases" ... "p_k.cases". The
  7669     list of rules "p_1_..._p_k.elims" is no longer available.
  7670 
  7671 * New package "function"/"fun" for general recursive functions,
  7672 supporting mutual and nested recursion, definitions in local contexts,
  7673 more general pattern matching and partiality. See HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy
  7674 for small examples, and the separate tutorial on the function
  7675 package. The old recdef "package" is still available as before, but
  7676 users are encouraged to use the new package.
  7677 
  7678 * Method "lexicographic_order" automatically synthesizes termination
  7679 relations as lexicographic combinations of size measures.
  7680 
  7681 * Case-expressions allow arbitrary constructor-patterns (including
  7682 "_") and take their order into account, like in functional
  7683 programming.  Internally, this is translated into nested
  7684 case-expressions; missing cases are added and mapped to the predefined
  7685 constant "undefined". In complicated cases printing may no longer show
  7686 the original input but the internal form. Lambda-abstractions allow
  7687 the same form of pattern matching: "% pat1 => e1 | ..." is an
  7688 abbreviation for "%x. case x of pat1 => e1 | ..." where x is a new
  7689 variable.
  7690 
  7691 * IntDef: The constant "int :: nat => int" has been removed; now "int"
  7692 is an abbreviation for "of_nat :: nat => int". The simplification
  7693 rules for "of_nat" have been changed to work like "int" did
  7694 previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  7695   - "of_nat (Suc m)" simplifies to "1 + of_nat m" instead of "of_nat m + 1"
  7696   - of_nat_diff and of_nat_mult are no longer default simp rules
  7697 
  7698 * Method "algebra" solves polynomial equations over (semi)rings using
  7699 Groebner bases. The (semi)ring structure is defined by locales and the
  7700 tool setup depends on that generic context. Installing the method for
  7701 a specific type involves instantiating the locale and possibly adding
  7702 declarations for computation on the coefficients.  The method is
  7703 already instantiated for natural numbers and for the axiomatic class
  7704 of idoms with numerals.  See also the paper by Chaieb and Wenzel at
  7705 CALCULEMUS 2007 for the general principles underlying this
  7706 architecture of context-aware proof-tools.
  7707 
  7708 * Method "ferrack" implements quantifier elimination over
  7709 special-purpose dense linear orders using locales (analogous to
  7710 "algebra"). The method is already installed for class
  7711 {ordered_field,recpower,number_ring} which subsumes real, hyperreal,
  7712 rat, etc.
  7713 
  7714 * Former constant "List.op @" now named "List.append".  Use ML
  7715 antiquotations @{const_name List.append} or @{term " ... @ ... "} to
  7716 circumvent possible incompatibilities when working on ML level.
  7717 
  7718 * primrec: missing cases mapped to "undefined" instead of "arbitrary".
  7719 
  7720 * New function listsum :: 'a list => 'a for arbitrary monoids.
  7721 Special syntax: "SUM x <- xs. f x" (and latex variants)
  7722 
  7723 * New syntax for Haskell-like list comprehension (input only), eg.
  7724 [(x,y). x <- xs, y <- ys, x ~= y], see also src/HOL/List.thy.
  7725 
  7726 * The special syntax for function "filter" has changed from [x :
  7727 xs. P] to [x <- xs. P] to avoid an ambiguity caused by list
  7728 comprehension syntax, and for uniformity.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7729 
  7730 * [a..b] is now defined for arbitrary linear orders.  It used to be
  7731 defined on nat only, as an abbreviation for [a..<Suc b]
  7732 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7733 
  7734 * Renamed lemma "set_take_whileD"  to "set_takeWhileD".
  7735 
  7736 * New functions "sorted" and "sort" in src/HOL/List.thy.
  7737 
  7738 * New lemma collection field_simps (an extension of ring_simps) for
  7739 manipulating (in)equations involving division. Multiplies with all
  7740 denominators that can be proved to be non-zero (in equations) or
  7741 positive/negative (in inequations).
  7742 
  7743 * Lemma collections ring_eq_simps, group_eq_simps and ring_distrib
  7744 have been improved and renamed to ring_simps, group_simps and
  7745 ring_distribs.  Removed lemmas field_xyz in theory Ring_and_Field
  7746 because they were subsumed by lemmas xyz.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7747 
  7748 * Theory Library/Commutative_Ring: switched from recdef to function
  7749 package; constants add, mul, pow now curried.  Infix syntax for
  7750 algebraic operations.
  7751 
  7752 * Dropped redundant lemma def_imp_eq in favor of meta_eq_to_obj_eq.
  7753 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7754 
  7755 * Dropped redundant lemma if_def2 in favor of if_bool_eq_conj.
  7756 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7757 
  7758 * HOL/records: generalised field-update to take a function on the
  7759 field rather than the new value: r(|A := x|) is translated to A_update
  7760 (K x) r The K-combinator that is internally used is called K_record.
  7761 INCOMPATIBILITY: Usage of the plain update functions has to be
  7762 adapted.
  7763 
  7764 * Class "semiring_0" now contains annihilation axioms x * 0 = 0 and 0
  7765 * x = 0, which are required for a semiring.  Richer structures do not
  7766 inherit from semiring_0 anymore, because this property is a theorem
  7767 there, not an axiom.  INCOMPATIBILITY: In instances of semiring_0,
  7768 there is more to prove, but this is mostly trivial.
  7769 
  7770 * Class "recpower" is generalized to arbitrary monoids, not just
  7771 commutative semirings.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to incorporate
  7772 commutativity or semiring properties additionally.
  7773 
  7774 * Constant "List.list_all2" in List.thy now uses authentic syntax.
  7775 INCOMPATIBILITY: translations containing list_all2 may go wrong,
  7776 better use 'abbreviation'.
  7777 
  7778 * Renamed constant "List.op mem" to "List.member".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7779 
  7780 * Numeral syntax: type 'bin' which was a mere type copy of 'int' has
  7781 been abandoned in favour of plain 'int'.  INCOMPATIBILITY --
  7782 significant changes for setting up numeral syntax for types:
  7783   - New constants Numeral.pred and Numeral.succ instead
  7784       of former Numeral.bin_pred and Numeral.bin_succ.
  7785   - Use integer operations instead of bin_add, bin_mult and so on.
  7786   - Numeral simplification theorems named Numeral.numeral_simps instead of Bin_simps.
  7787   - ML structure Bin_Simprocs now named Int_Numeral_Base_Simprocs.
  7788 
  7789 See src/HOL/Integ/IntArith.thy for an example setup.
  7790 
  7791 * Command 'normal_form' computes the normal form of a term that may
  7792 contain free variables.  For example ``normal_form "rev [a, b, c]"''
  7793 produces ``[b, c, a]'' (without proof).  This command is suitable for
  7794 heavy-duty computations because the functions are compiled to ML
  7795 first.  Correspondingly, a method "normalization" is provided.  See
  7796 further src/HOL/ex/NormalForm.thy and src/Tools/nbe.ML.
  7797 
  7798 * Alternative iff syntax "A <-> B" for equality on bool (with priority
  7799 25 like -->); output depends on the "iff" print_mode, the default is
  7800 "A = B" (with priority 50).
  7801 
  7802 * Relations less (<) and less_eq (<=) are also available on type bool.
  7803 Modified syntax to disallow nesting without explicit parentheses,
  7804 e.g. "(x < y) < z" or "x < (y < z)", but NOT "x < y < z".  Potential
  7805 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7806 
  7807 * "LEAST x:A. P" expands to "LEAST x. x:A & P" (input only).
  7808 
  7809 * Relation composition operator "op O" now has precedence 75 and binds
  7810 stronger than union and intersection. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7811 
  7812 * The old set interval syntax "{m..n(}" (and relatives) has been
  7813 removed.  Use "{m..<n}" (and relatives) instead.
  7814 
  7815 * In the context of the assumption "~(s = t)" the Simplifier rewrites
  7816 "t = s" to False (by simproc "neq").  INCOMPATIBILITY, consider using
  7817 ``declare [[simproc del: neq]]''.
  7818 
  7819 * Simplifier: "m dvd n" where m and n are numbers is evaluated to
  7820 True/False.
  7821 
  7822 * Theorem Cons_eq_map_conv no longer declared as "simp".
  7823 
  7824 * Theorem setsum_mult renamed to setsum_right_distrib.
  7825 
  7826 * Prefer ex1I over ex_ex1I in single-step reasoning, e.g. by the
  7827 ``rule'' method.
  7828 
  7829 * Reimplemented methods "sat" and "satx", with several improvements:
  7830 goals no longer need to be stated as "<prems> ==> False", equivalences
  7831 (i.e. "=" on type bool) are handled, variable names of the form
  7832 "lit_<n>" are no longer reserved, significant speedup.
  7833 
  7834 * Methods "sat" and "satx" can now replay MiniSat proof traces.
  7835 zChaff is still supported as well.
  7836 
  7837 * 'inductive' and 'datatype': provide projections of mutual rules,
  7838 bundled as foo_bar.inducts;
  7839 
  7840 * Library: moved theories Parity, GCD, Binomial, Infinite_Set to
  7841 Library.
  7842 
  7843 * Library: moved theory Accessible_Part to main HOL.
  7844 
  7845 * Library: added theory Coinductive_List of potentially infinite lists
  7846 as greatest fixed-point.
  7847 
  7848 * Library: added theory AssocList which implements (finite) maps as
  7849 association lists.
  7850 
  7851 * Method "evaluation" solves goals (i.e. a boolean expression)
  7852 efficiently by compiling it to ML.  The goal is "proved" (via an
  7853 oracle) if it evaluates to True.
  7854 
  7855 * Linear arithmetic now splits certain operators (e.g. min, max, abs)
  7856 also when invoked by the simplifier.  This results in the Simplifier
  7857 being more powerful on arithmetic goals.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7858 Configuration option fast_arith_split_limit=0 recovers the old
  7859 behavior.
  7860 
  7861 * Support for hex (0x20) and binary (0b1001) numerals.
  7862 
  7863 * New method: reify eqs (t), where eqs are equations for an
  7864 interpretation I :: 'a list => 'b => 'c and t::'c is an optional
  7865 parameter, computes a term s::'b and a list xs::'a list and proves the
  7866 theorem I xs s = t. This is also known as reification or quoting. The
  7867 resulting theorem is applied to the subgoal to substitute t with I xs
  7868 s.  If t is omitted, the subgoal itself is reified.
  7869 
  7870 * New method: reflection corr_thm eqs (t). The parameters eqs and (t)
  7871 are as explained above. corr_thm is a theorem for I vs (f t) = I vs t,
  7872 where f is supposed to be a computable function (in the sense of code
  7873 generattion). The method uses reify to compute s and xs as above then
  7874 applies corr_thm and uses normalization by evaluation to "prove" f s =
  7875 r and finally gets the theorem t = r, which is again applied to the
  7876 subgoal. An Example is available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy.
  7877 
  7878 * Reflection: Automatic reification now handels binding, an example is
  7879 available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy
  7880 
  7881 * HOL-Statespace: ``State Spaces: The Locale Way'' introduces a
  7882 command 'statespace' that is similar to 'record', but introduces an
  7883 abstract specification based on the locale infrastructure instead of
  7884 HOL types.  This leads to extra flexibility in composing state spaces,
  7885 in particular multiple inheritance and renaming of components.
  7886 
  7887 
  7888 *** HOL-Complex ***
  7889 
  7890 * Hyperreal: Functions root and sqrt are now defined on negative real
  7891 inputs so that root n (- x) = - root n x and sqrt (- x) = - sqrt x.
  7892 Nonnegativity side conditions have been removed from many lemmas, so
  7893 that more subgoals may now be solved by simplification; potential
  7894 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7895 
  7896 * Real: new type classes formalize real normed vector spaces and
  7897 algebras, using new overloaded constants scaleR :: real => 'a => 'a
  7898 and norm :: 'a => real.
  7899 
  7900 * Real: constant of_real :: real => 'a::real_algebra_1 injects from
  7901 reals into other types. The overloaded constant Reals :: 'a set is now
  7902 defined as range of_real; potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7903 
  7904 * Real: proper support for ML code generation, including 'quickcheck'.
  7905 Reals are implemented as arbitrary precision rationals.
  7906 
  7907 * Hyperreal: Several constants that previously worked only for the
  7908 reals have been generalized, so they now work over arbitrary vector
  7909 spaces. Type annotations may need to be added in some cases; potential
  7910 INCOMPATIBILITY.

  7926   exp            :: 'a::{recpower,real_normed_field,banach} => 'a
  7927 
  7928 * Complex: Some complex-specific constants are now abbreviations for
  7929 overloaded ones: complex_of_real = of_real, cmod = norm, hcmod =
  7930 hnorm.  Other constants have been entirely removed in favor of the
  7931 polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7932 
  7933   approx        <-- capprox
  7934   HFinite       <-- CFinite
  7935   HInfinite     <-- CInfinite

  7937   monad         <-- cmonad
  7938   galaxy        <-- cgalaxy
  7939   (NS)LIM       <-- (NS)CLIM, (NS)CRLIM
  7940   is(NS)Cont    <-- is(NS)Contc, is(NS)contCR
  7941   (ns)deriv     <-- (ns)cderiv
  7942 
  7943 
  7944 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  7945 
  7946 * Formalisation of ideals and the quotient construction over rings.
  7947 
  7948 * Order and lattice theory no longer based on records.
  7949 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7950 
  7951 * Renamed lemmas least_carrier -> least_closed and greatest_carrier ->
  7952 greatest_closed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7953 
  7954 * Method algebra is now set up via an attribute.  For examples see
  7955 Ring.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY: the method is now weaker on combinations
  7956 of algebraic structures.
  7957 
  7958 * Renamed theory CRing to Ring.
  7959 
  7960 
  7961 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  7962 
  7963 * Substantial, yet incomplete support for nominal datatypes (binding
  7964 structures) based on HOL-Nominal logic.  See src/HOL/Nominal and
  7965 src/HOL/Nominal/Examples.  Prospective users should consult
  7966 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/nominal/
  7967 
  7968 
  7969 *** ML ***
  7970 
  7971 * ML basics: just one true type int, which coincides with IntInf.int
  7972 (even on SML/NJ).
  7973 
  7974 * ML within Isar: antiquotations allow to embed statically-checked
  7975 formal entities in the source, referring to the context available at
  7976 compile-time.  For example:
  7977 
  7978 ML {* @{sort "{zero,one}"} *}
  7979 ML {* @{typ "'a => 'b"} *}
  7980 ML {* @{term "%x. x"} *}
  7981 ML {* @{prop "x == y"} *}
  7982 ML {* @{ctyp "'a => 'b"} *}
  7983 ML {* @{cterm "%x. x"} *}
  7984 ML {* @{cprop "x == y"} *}
  7985 ML {* @{thm asm_rl} *}
  7986 ML {* @{thms asm_rl} *}
  7987 ML {* @{type_name c} *}
  7988 ML {* @{type_syntax c} *}
  7989 ML {* @{const_name c} *}
  7990 ML {* @{const_syntax c} *}
  7991 ML {* @{context} *}
  7992 ML {* @{theory} *}
  7993 ML {* @{theory Pure} *}
  7994 ML {* @{theory_ref} *}
  7995 ML {* @{theory_ref Pure} *}
  7996 ML {* @{simpset} *}
  7997 ML {* @{claset} *}
  7998 ML {* @{clasimpset} *}
  7999 
  8000 The same works for sources being ``used'' within an Isar context.
  8001 
  8002 * ML in Isar: improved error reporting; extra verbosity with
  8003 ML_Context.trace enabled.
  8004 
  8005 * Pure/General/table.ML: the join operations now works via exceptions
  8006 DUP/SAME instead of type option. This is simpler in simple cases, and
  8007 admits slightly more efficient complex applications.
  8008 
  8009 * Pure: 'advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) now
  8010 use Context.generic instead of just theory.
  8011 
  8012 * Pure: datatype Context.generic joins theory/Proof.context and
  8013 provides some facilities for code that works in either kind of
  8014 context, notably GenericDataFun for uniform theory and proof data.
  8015 
  8016 * Pure: simplified internal attribute type, which is now always
  8017 Context.generic * thm -> Context.generic * thm. Global (theory) vs.
  8018 local (Proof.context) attributes have been discontinued, while
  8019 minimizing code duplication. Thm.rule_attribute and
  8020 Thm.declaration_attribute build canonical attributes; see also structure
  8021 Context for further operations on Context.generic, notably
  8022 GenericDataFun. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt attribute type
  8023 declarations and definitions.
  8024 
  8025 * Context data interfaces (Theory/Proof/GenericDataFun): removed
  8026 name/print, uninitialized data defaults to ad-hoc copy of empty value,
  8027 init only required for impure data. INCOMPATIBILITY: empty really need
  8028 to be empty (no dependencies on theory content!)
  8029 
  8030 * Pure/kernel: consts certification ignores sort constraints given in
  8031 signature declarations. (This information is not relevant to the
  8032 logic, but only for type inference.) SIGNIFICANT INTERNAL CHANGE,
  8033 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8034 
  8035 * Pure: axiomatic type classes are now purely definitional, with
  8036 explicit proofs of class axioms and super class relations performed
  8037 internally. See Pure/axclass.ML for the main internal interfaces --
  8038 notably AxClass.define_class supercedes AxClass.add_axclass, and
  8039 AxClass.axiomatize_class/classrel/arity supersede
  8040 Sign.add_classes/classrel/arities.
  8041 
  8042 * Pure/Isar: Args/Attrib parsers operate on Context.generic --
  8043 global/local versions on theory vs. Proof.context have been
  8044 discontinued; Attrib.syntax and Method.syntax have been adapted
  8045 accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt parser expressions for
  8046 attributes, methods, etc.
  8047 
  8048 * Pure: several functions of signature "... -> theory -> theory * ..."
  8049 have been reoriented to "... -> theory -> ... * theory" in order to
  8050 allow natural usage in combination with the ||>, ||>>, |-> and
  8051 fold_map combinators.
  8052 
  8053 * Pure: official theorem names (closed derivations) and additional
  8054 comments (tags) are now strictly separate.  Name hints -- which are
  8055 maintained as tags -- may be attached any time without affecting the
  8056 derivation.
  8057 
  8058 * Pure: primitive rule lift_rule now takes goal cterm instead of an
  8059 actual goal state (thm).  Use Thm.lift_rule (Thm.cprem_of st i) to
  8060 achieve the old behaviour.
  8061 
  8062 * Pure: the "Goal" constant is now called "prop", supporting a
  8063 slightly more general idea of ``protecting'' meta-level rule
  8064 statements.
  8065 
  8066 * Pure: Logic.(un)varify only works in a global context, which is now
  8067 enforced instead of silently assumed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use
  8068 Logic.legacy_(un)varify as temporary workaround.
  8069 
  8070 * Pure: structure Name provides scalable operations for generating
  8071 internal variable names, notably Name.variants etc.  This replaces
  8072 some popular functions from term.ML:
  8073 
  8074   Term.variant		->  Name.variant
  8075   Term.variantlist	->  Name.variant_list
  8076   Term.invent_names	->  Name.invent_list
  8077 
  8078 Note that low-level renaming rarely occurs in new code -- operations
  8079 from structure Variable are used instead (see below).
  8080 
  8081 * Pure: structure Variable provides fundamental operations for proper
  8082 treatment of fixed/schematic variables in a context.  For example,
  8083 Variable.import introduces fixes for schematics of given facts and
  8084 Variable.export reverses the effect (up to renaming) -- this replaces
  8085 various freeze_thaw operations.
  8086 
  8087 * Pure: structure Goal provides simple interfaces for
  8088 init/conclude/finish and tactical prove operations (replacing former
  8089 Tactic.prove).  Goal.prove is the canonical way to prove results
  8090 within a given context; Goal.prove_global is a degraded version for
  8091 theory level goals, including a global Drule.standard.  Note that
  8092 OldGoals.prove_goalw_cterm has long been obsolete, since it is
  8093 ill-behaved in a local proof context (e.g. with local fixes/assumes or
  8094 in a locale context).
  8095 
  8096 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for parsing (Syntax.parse_term etc.)
  8097 and type checking (Syntax.check_term etc.), with common combinations
  8098 (Syntax.read_term etc.). These supersede former Sign.read_term etc.
  8099 which are considered legacy and await removal.
  8100 
  8101 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for type unchecking
  8102 (Syntax.uncheck_terms etc.) and unparsing (Syntax.unparse_term etc.),
  8103 with common combinations (Syntax.pretty_term, Syntax.string_of_term
  8104 etc.).  Former Sign.pretty_term, Sign.string_of_term etc. are still
  8105 available for convenience, but refer to the very same operations using
  8106 a mere theory instead of a full context.
  8107 
  8108 * Isar: simplified treatment of user-level errors, using exception
  8109 ERROR of string uniformly.  Function error now merely raises ERROR,
  8110 without any side effect on output channels.  The Isar toplevel takes
  8111 care of proper display of ERROR exceptions.  ML code may use plain
  8112 handle/can/try; cat_error may be used to concatenate errors like this:
  8113 
  8114   ... handle ERROR msg => cat_error msg "..."
  8115 
  8116 Toplevel ML code (run directly or through the Isar toplevel) may be
  8117 embedded into the Isar toplevel with exception display/debug like
  8118 this:
  8119 
  8120   Isar.toplevel (fn () => ...)
  8121 
  8122 INCOMPATIBILITY, removed special transform_error facilities, removed
  8123 obsolete variants of user-level exceptions (ERROR_MESSAGE,
  8124 Context.PROOF, ProofContext.CONTEXT, Proof.STATE, ProofHistory.FAIL)
  8125 -- use plain ERROR instead.
  8126 
  8127 * Isar: theory setup now has type (theory -> theory), instead of a
  8128 list.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use #> to compose setup functions.
  8129 
  8130 * Isar: ML toplevel pretty printer for type Proof.context, subject to
  8131 ProofContext.debug/verbose flags.
  8132 
  8133 * Isar: Toplevel.theory_to_proof admits transactions that modify the
  8134 theory before entering a proof state.  Transactions now always see a
  8135 quasi-functional intermediate checkpoint, both in interactive and
  8136 batch mode.
  8137 
  8138 * Isar: simplified interfaces for outer syntax.  Renamed
  8139 OuterSyntax.add_keywords to OuterSyntax.keywords.  Removed
  8140 OuterSyntax.add_parsers -- this functionality is now included in
  8141 OuterSyntax.command etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8142 
  8143 * Simplifier: the simpset of a running simplification process now
  8144 contains a proof context (cf. Simplifier.the_context), which is the
  8145 very context that the initial simpset has been retrieved from (by
  8146 simpset_of/local_simpset_of).  Consequently, all plug-in components
  8147 (solver, looper etc.) may depend on arbitrary proof data.
  8148 
  8149 * Simplifier.inherit_context inherits the proof context (plus the
  8150 local bounds) of the current simplification process; any simproc
  8151 etc. that calls the Simplifier recursively should do this!  Removed
  8152 former Simplifier.inherit_bounds, which is already included here --
  8153 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Tools based on low-level rewriting may even have to
  8154 specify an explicit context using Simplifier.context/theory_context.
  8155 
  8156 * Simplifier/Classical Reasoner: more abstract interfaces
  8157 change_simpset/claset for modifying the simpset/claset reference of a
  8158 theory; raw versions simpset/claset_ref etc. have been discontinued --
  8159 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8160 
  8161 * Provers: more generic wrt. syntax of object-logics, avoid hardwired
  8162 "Trueprop" etc.
  8163 
  8164 
  8165 *** System ***
  8166 
  8167 * settings: the default heap location within ISABELLE_HOME_USER now
  8168 includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER.  This simplifies use of multiple
  8169 Isabelle installations.
  8170 
  8171 * isabelle-process: option -S (secure mode) disables some critical
  8172 operations, notably runtime compilation and evaluation of ML source
  8173 code.
  8174 
  8175 * Basic Isabelle mode for jEdit, see Isabelle/lib/jedit/.
  8176 
  8177 * Support for parallel execution, using native multicore support of
  8178 Poly/ML 5.1.  The theory loader exploits parallelism when processing
  8179 independent theories, according to the given theory header
  8180 specifications. The maximum number of worker threads is specified via
  8181 usedir option -M or the "max-threads" setting in Proof General. A
  8182 speedup factor of 1.5--3.5 can be expected on a 4-core machine, and up
  8183 to 6 on a 8-core machine.  User-code needs to observe certain
  8184 guidelines for thread-safe programming, see appendix A in the Isar
  8185 Implementation manual.
  8186 
  8187 
  8188 
  8189 New in Isabelle2005 (October 2005)
  8190 ----------------------------------
  8191 
  8192 *** General ***
  8193 
  8194 * Theory headers: the new header syntax for Isar theories is
  8195 
  8196   theory <name>
  8197   imports <theory1> ... <theoryN>
  8198   uses <file1> ... <fileM>
  8199   begin
  8200 
  8201 where the 'uses' part is optional.  The previous syntax
  8202 
  8203   theory <name> = <theory1> + ... + <theoryN>:
  8204 
  8205 will disappear in the next release.  Use isatool fixheaders to convert
  8206 existing theory files.  Note that there is no change in ancient
  8207 non-Isar theories now, but these will disappear soon.
  8208 
  8209 * Theory loader: parent theories can now also be referred to via
  8210 relative and absolute paths.
  8211 
  8212 * Command 'find_theorems' searches for a list of criteria instead of a
  8213 list of constants. Known criteria are: intro, elim, dest, name:string,
  8214 simp:term, and any term. Criteria can be preceded by '-' to select
  8215 theorems that do not match. Intro, elim, dest select theorems that
  8216 match the current goal, name:s selects theorems whose fully qualified
  8217 name contain s, and simp:term selects all simplification rules whose
  8218 lhs match term.  Any other term is interpreted as pattern and selects
  8219 all theorems matching the pattern. Available in ProofGeneral under
  8220 'ProofGeneral -> Find Theorems' or C-c C-f.  Example:
  8221 
  8222   C-c C-f (100) "(_::nat) + _ + _" intro -name: "HOL."
  8223 
  8224 prints the last 100 theorems matching the pattern "(_::nat) + _ + _",
  8225 matching the current goal as introduction rule and not having "HOL."
  8226 in their name (i.e. not being defined in theory HOL).
  8227 
  8228 * Command 'thms_containing' has been discontinued in favour of
  8229 'find_theorems'; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8230 
  8231 * Communication with Proof General is now 8bit clean, which means that
  8232 Unicode text in UTF-8 encoding may be used within theory texts (both
  8233 formal and informal parts).  Cf. option -U of the Isabelle Proof
  8234 General interface.  Here are some simple examples (cf. src/HOL/ex):
  8235 
  8236   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Hebrew.html
  8237   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Chinese.html
  8238 
  8239 * Improved efficiency of the Simplifier and, to a lesser degree, the
  8240 Classical Reasoner.  Typical big applications run around 2 times
  8241 faster.
  8242 
  8243 
  8244 *** Document preparation ***
  8245 
  8246 * Commands 'display_drafts' and 'print_drafts' perform simple output
  8247 of raw sources.  Only those symbols that do not require additional
  8248 LaTeX packages (depending on comments in isabellesym.sty) are
  8249 displayed properly, everything else is left verbatim.  isatool display
  8250 and isatool print are used as front ends (these are subject to the
  8251 DVI/PDF_VIEWER and PRINT_COMMAND settings, respectively).
  8252 
  8253 * Command tags control specific markup of certain regions of text,
  8254 notably folding and hiding.  Predefined tags include "theory" (for
  8255 theory begin and end), "proof" for proof commands, and "ML" for
  8256 commands involving ML code; the additional tags "visible" and
  8257 "invisible" are unused by default.  Users may give explicit tag
  8258 specifications in the text, e.g. ''by %invisible (auto)''.  The
  8259 interpretation of tags is determined by the LaTeX job during document
  8260 preparation: see option -V of isatool usedir, or options -n and -t of
  8261 isatool document, or even the LaTeX macros \isakeeptag, \isafoldtag,
  8262 \isadroptag.
  8263 
  8264 Several document versions may be produced at the same time via isatool
  8265 usedir (the generated index.html will link all of them).  Typical
  8266 specifications include ''-V document=theory,proof,ML'' to present
  8267 theory/proof/ML parts faithfully, ''-V outline=/proof,/ML'' to fold
  8268 proof and ML commands, and ''-V mutilated=-theory,-proof,-ML'' to omit
  8269 these parts without any formal replacement text.  The Isabelle site
  8270 default settings produce ''document'' and ''outline'' versions as
  8271 specified above.
  8272 
  8273 * Several new antiquotations:
  8274 
  8275   @{term_type term} prints a term with its type annotated;
  8276 
  8277   @{typeof term} prints the type of a term;
  8278 
  8279   @{const const} is the same as @{term const}, but checks that the
  8280   argument is a known logical constant;
  8281 
  8282   @{term_style style term} and @{thm_style style thm} print a term or
  8283   theorem applying a "style" to it
  8284 
  8285   @{ML text}
  8286 
  8287 Predefined styles are 'lhs' and 'rhs' printing the lhs/rhs of
  8288 definitions, equations, inequations etc., 'concl' printing only the
  8289 conclusion of a meta-logical statement theorem, and 'prem1' .. 'prem19'
  8290 to print the specified premise.  TermStyle.add_style provides an ML
  8291 interface for introducing further styles.  See also the "LaTeX Sugar"
  8292 document practical applications.  The ML antiquotation prints
  8293 type-checked ML expressions verbatim.
  8294 
  8295 * Markup commands 'chapter', 'section', 'subsection', 'subsubsection',
  8296 and 'text' support optional locale specification '(in loc)', which
  8297 specifies the default context for interpreting antiquotations.  For
  8298 example: 'text (in lattice) {* @{thm inf_assoc}*}'.
  8299 
  8300 * Option 'locale=NAME' of antiquotations specifies an alternative
  8301 context interpreting the subsequent argument.  For example: @{thm
  8302 [locale=lattice] inf_assoc}.
  8303 
  8304 * Proper output of proof terms (@{prf ...} and @{full_prf ...}) within
  8305 a proof context.
  8306 
  8307 * Proper output of antiquotations for theory commands involving a
  8308 proof context (such as 'locale' or 'theorem (in loc) ...').
  8309 
  8310 * Delimiters of outer tokens (string etc.) now produce separate LaTeX
  8311 macros (\isachardoublequoteopen, isachardoublequoteclose etc.).
  8312 
  8313 * isatool usedir: new option -C (default true) controls whether option
  8314 -D should include a copy of the original document directory; -C false
  8315 prevents unwanted effects such as copying of administrative CVS data.
  8316 
  8317 
  8318 *** Pure ***
  8319 
  8320 * Considerably improved version of 'constdefs' command.  Now performs
  8321 automatic type-inference of declared constants; additional support for
  8322 local structure declarations (cf. locales and HOL records), see also
  8323 isar-ref manual.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to observe strictly
  8324 sequential dependencies of definitions within a single 'constdefs'
  8325 section; moreover, the declared name needs to be an identifier.  If
  8326 all fails, consider to fall back on 'consts' and 'defs' separately.
  8327 
  8328 * Improved indexed syntax and implicit structures.  First of all,
  8329 indexed syntax provides a notational device for subscripted
  8330 application, using the new syntax \<^bsub>term\<^esub> for arbitrary
  8331 expressions.  Secondly, in a local context with structure
  8332 declarations, number indexes \<^sub>n or the empty index (default
  8333 number 1) refer to a certain fixed variable implicitly; option
  8334 show_structs controls printing of implicit structures.  Typical
  8335 applications of these concepts involve record types and locales.
  8336 
  8337 * New command 'no_syntax' removes grammar declarations (and
  8338 translations) resulting from the given syntax specification, which is
  8339 interpreted in the same manner as for the 'syntax' command.
  8340 
  8341 * 'Advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) may depend
  8342 on the signature of the theory context being presently used for
  8343 parsing/printing, see also isar-ref manual.
  8344 
  8345 * Improved 'oracle' command provides a type-safe interface to turn an
  8346 ML expression of type theory -> T -> term into a primitive rule of
  8347 type theory -> T -> thm (i.e. the functionality of Thm.invoke_oracle
  8348 is already included here); see also FOL/ex/IffExample.thy;
  8349 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8350 
  8351 * axclass: name space prefix for class "c" is now "c_class" (was "c"
  8352 before); "cI" is no longer bound, use "c.intro" instead.
  8353 INCOMPATIBILITY.  This change avoids clashes of fact bindings for
  8354 axclasses vs. locales.
  8355 
  8356 * Improved internal renaming of symbolic identifiers -- attach primes
  8357 instead of base 26 numbers.
  8358 
  8359 * New flag show_question_marks controls printing of leading question
  8360 marks in schematic variable names.
  8361 
  8362 * In schematic variable names, *any* symbol following \<^isub> or
  8363 \<^isup> is now treated as part of the base name.  For example, the
  8364 following works without printing of awkward ".0" indexes:
  8365 
  8366   lemma "x\<^isub>1 = x\<^isub>2 ==> x\<^isub>2 = x\<^isub>1"
  8367     by simp
  8368 
  8369 * Inner syntax includes (*(*nested*) comments*).
  8370 
  8371 * Pretty printer now supports unbreakable blocks, specified in mixfix
  8372 annotations as "(00...)".
  8373 
  8374 * Clear separation of logical types and nonterminals, where the latter
  8375 may only occur in 'syntax' specifications or type abbreviations.
  8376 Before that distinction was only partially implemented via type class
  8377 "logic" vs. "{}".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare cases of improper
  8378 use of 'types'/'consts' instead of 'nonterminals'/'syntax'.  Some very
  8379 exotic syntax specifications may require further adaption
  8380 (e.g. Cube/Cube.thy).
  8381 
  8382 * Removed obsolete type class "logic", use the top sort {} instead.
  8383 Note that non-logical types should be declared as 'nonterminals'
  8384 rather than 'types'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for new object-logic
  8385 specifications.
  8386 
  8387 * Attributes 'induct' and 'cases': type or set names may now be
  8388 locally fixed variables as well.
  8389 
  8390 * Simplifier: can now control the depth to which conditional rewriting
  8391 is traced via the PG menu Isabelle -> Settings -> Trace Simp Depth
  8392 Limit.
  8393 
  8394 * Simplifier: simplification procedures may now take the current
  8395 simpset into account (cf. Simplifier.simproc(_i) / mk_simproc
  8396 interface), which is very useful for calling the Simplifier
  8397 recursively.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: the 'prems' argument of simprocs
  8398 is gone -- use prems_of_ss on the simpset instead.  Moreover, the
  8399 low-level mk_simproc no longer applies Logic.varify internally, to
  8400 allow for use in a context of fixed variables.
  8401 
  8402 * thin_tac now works even if the assumption being deleted contains !!
  8403 or ==>.  More generally, erule now works even if the major premise of
  8404 the elimination rule contains !! or ==>.
  8405 
  8406 * Method 'rules' has been renamed to 'iprover'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8407 
  8408 * Reorganized bootstrapping of the Pure theories; CPure is now derived
  8409 from Pure, which contains all common declarations already.  Both
  8410 theories are defined via plain Isabelle/Isar .thy files.
  8411 INCOMPATIBILITY: elements of CPure (such as the CPure.intro /
  8412 CPure.elim / CPure.dest attributes) now appear in the Pure name space;
  8413 use isatool fixcpure to adapt your theory and ML sources.
  8414 
  8415 * New syntax 'name(i-j, i-, i, ...)' for referring to specific
  8416 selections of theorems in named facts via index ranges.
  8417 
  8418 * 'print_theorems': in theory mode, really print the difference
  8419 wrt. the last state (works for interactive theory development only),
  8420 in proof mode print all local facts (cf. 'print_facts');
  8421 
  8422 * 'hide': option '(open)' hides only base names.
  8423 
  8424 * More efficient treatment of intermediate checkpoints in interactive
  8425 theory development.
  8426 
  8427 * Code generator is now invoked via code_module (incremental code
  8428 generation) and code_library (modular code generation, ML structures
  8429 for each theory).  INCOMPATIBILITY: new keywords 'file' and 'contains'
  8430 must be quoted when used as identifiers.
  8431 
  8432 * New 'value' command for reading, evaluating and printing terms using
  8433 the code generator.  INCOMPATIBILITY: command keyword 'value' must be
  8434 quoted when used as identifier.
  8435 
  8436 
  8437 *** Locales ***
  8438 
  8439 * New commands for the interpretation of locale expressions in
  8440 theories (1), locales (2) and proof contexts (3).  These generate
  8441 proof obligations from the expression specification.  After the
  8442 obligations have been discharged, theorems of the expression are added
  8443 to the theory, target locale or proof context.  The synopsis of the
  8444 commands is a follows:
  8445 
  8446   (1) interpretation expr inst
  8447   (2) interpretation target < expr
  8448   (3) interpret expr inst
  8449 
  8450 Interpretation in theories and proof contexts require a parameter
  8451 instantiation of terms from the current context.  This is applied to
  8452 specifications and theorems of the interpreted expression.
  8453 Interpretation in locales only permits parameter renaming through the
  8454 locale expression.  Interpretation is smart in that interpretations
  8455 that are active already do not occur in proof obligations, neither are
  8456 instantiated theorems stored in duplicate.  Use 'print_interps' to
  8457 inspect active interpretations of a particular locale.  For details,
  8458 see the Isar Reference manual.  Examples can be found in
  8459 HOL/Finite_Set.thy and HOL/Algebra/UnivPoly.thy.
  8460 
  8461 INCOMPATIBILITY: former 'instantiate' has been withdrawn, use
  8462 'interpret' instead.
  8463 
  8464 * New context element 'constrains' for adding type constraints to
  8465 parameters.
  8466 
  8467 * Context expressions: renaming of parameters with syntax
  8468 redeclaration.
  8469 
  8470 * Locale declaration: 'includes' disallowed.
  8471 
  8472 * Proper static binding of attribute syntax -- i.e. types / terms /
  8473 facts mentioned as arguments are always those of the locale definition
  8474 context, independently of the context of later invocations.  Moreover,
  8475 locale operations (renaming and type / term instantiation) are applied
  8476 to attribute arguments as expected.
  8477 
  8478 INCOMPATIBILITY of the ML interface: always pass Attrib.src instead of
  8479 actual attributes; rare situations may require Attrib.attribute to
  8480 embed those attributes into Attrib.src that lack concrete syntax.
  8481 Attribute implementations need to cooperate properly with the static
  8482 binding mechanism.  Basic parsers Args.XXX_typ/term/prop and
  8483 Attrib.XXX_thm etc. already do the right thing without further
  8484 intervention.  Only unusual applications -- such as "where" or "of"
  8485 (cf. src/Pure/Isar/attrib.ML), which process arguments depending both
  8486 on the context and the facts involved -- may have to assign parsed
  8487 values to argument tokens explicitly.
  8488 
  8489 * Changed parameter management in theorem generation for long goal
  8490 statements with 'includes'.  INCOMPATIBILITY: produces a different
  8491 theorem statement in rare situations.
  8492 
  8493 * Locale inspection command 'print_locale' omits notes elements.  Use
  8494 'print_locale!' to have them included in the output.
  8495 
  8496 
  8497 *** Provers ***
  8498 
  8499 * Provers/hypsubst.ML: improved version of the subst method, for
  8500 single-step rewriting: it now works in bound variable contexts. New is
  8501 'subst (asm)', for rewriting an assumption.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may
  8502 rewrite a different subterm than the original subst method, which is
  8503 still available as 'simplesubst'.
  8504 
  8505 * Provers/quasi.ML: new transitivity reasoners for transitivity only
  8506 and quasi orders.
  8507 
  8508 * Provers/trancl.ML: new transitivity reasoner for transitive and
  8509 reflexive-transitive closure of relations.
  8510 
  8511 * Provers/blast.ML: new reference depth_limit to make blast's depth
  8512 limit (previously hard-coded with a value of 20) user-definable.
  8513 
  8514 * Provers/simplifier.ML has been moved to Pure, where Simplifier.setup
  8515 is peformed already.  Object-logics merely need to finish their
  8516 initial simpset configuration as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8517 
  8518 
  8519 *** HOL ***
  8520 
  8521 * Symbolic syntax of Hilbert Choice Operator is now as follows:
  8522 
  8523   syntax (epsilon)
  8524     "_Eps" :: "[pttrn, bool] => 'a"    ("(3\<some>_./ _)" [0, 10] 10)
  8525 
  8526 The symbol \<some> is displayed as the alternative epsilon of LaTeX
  8527 and x-symbol; use option '-m epsilon' to get it actually printed.
  8528 Moreover, the mathematically important symbolic identifier \<epsilon>
  8529 becomes available as variable, constant etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  8530 
  8531 * "x > y" abbreviates "y < x" and "x >= y" abbreviates "y <= x".
  8532 Similarly for all quantifiers: "ALL x > y" etc.  The x-symbol for >=
  8533 is \<ge>. New transitivity rules have been added to HOL/Orderings.thy to
  8534 support corresponding Isar calculations.
  8535 
  8536 * "{x:A. P}" abbreviates "{x. x:A & P}", and similarly for "\<in>"
  8537 instead of ":".
  8538 
  8539 * theory SetInterval: changed the syntax for open intervals:
  8540 
  8541   Old       New
  8542   {..n(}    {..<n}
  8543   {)n..}    {n<..}
  8544   {m..n(}   {m..<n}
  8545   {)m..n}   {m<..n}
  8546   {)m..n(}  {m<..<n}
  8547 
  8548 The old syntax is still supported but will disappear in the next
  8549 release.  For conversion use the following Emacs search and replace
  8550 patterns (these are not perfect but work quite well):
  8551 
  8552   {)\([^\.]*\)\.\.  ->  {\1<\.\.}
  8553   \.\.\([^(}]*\)(}  ->  \.\.<\1}
  8554 
  8555 * Theory Commutative_Ring (in Library): method comm_ring for proving
  8556 equalities in commutative rings; method 'algebra' provides a generic
  8557 interface.
  8558 
  8559 * Theory Finite_Set: changed the syntax for 'setsum', summation over
  8560 finite sets: "setsum (%x. e) A", which used to be "\<Sum>x:A. e", is
  8561 now either "SUM x:A. e" or "\<Sum>x \<in> A. e". The bound variable can
  8562 be a tuple pattern.
  8563 
  8564 Some new syntax forms are available:
  8565 
  8566   "\<Sum>x | P. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {x. P}"
  8567   "\<Sum>x = a..b. e"   for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..b}"
  8568   "\<Sum>x = a..<b. e"  for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..<b}"
  8569   "\<Sum>x < k. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {..<k}"
  8570 
  8571 The latter form "\<Sum>x < k. e" used to be based on a separate
  8572 function "Summation", which has been discontinued.
  8573 
  8574 * theory Finite_Set: in structured induction proofs, the insert case
  8575 is now 'case (insert x F)' instead of the old counterintuitive 'case
  8576 (insert F x)'.
  8577 
  8578 * The 'refute' command has been extended to support a much larger
  8579 fragment of HOL, including axiomatic type classes, constdefs and
  8580 typedefs, inductive datatypes and recursion.
  8581 
  8582 * New tactics 'sat' and 'satx' to prove propositional tautologies.
  8583 Requires zChaff with proof generation to be installed.  See
  8584 HOL/ex/SAT_Examples.thy for examples.
  8585 
  8586 * Datatype induction via method 'induct' now preserves the name of the
  8587 induction variable. For example, when proving P(xs::'a list) by
  8588 induction on xs, the induction step is now P(xs) ==> P(a#xs) rather
  8589 than P(list) ==> P(a#list) as previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  8590 in unstructured proof scripts.
  8591 
  8592 * Reworked implementation of records.  Improved scalability for
  8593 records with many fields, avoiding performance problems for type
  8594 inference. Records are no longer composed of nested field types, but
  8595 of nested extension types. Therefore the record type only grows linear
  8596 in the number of extensions and not in the number of fields.  The
  8597 top-level (users) view on records is preserved.  Potential
  8598 INCOMPATIBILITY only in strange cases, where the theory depends on the
  8599 old record representation. The type generated for a record is called
  8600 <record_name>_ext_type.
  8601 
  8602 Flag record_quick_and_dirty_sensitive can be enabled to skip the
  8603 proofs triggered by a record definition or a simproc (if
  8604 quick_and_dirty is enabled).  Definitions of large records can take
  8605 quite long.
  8606 
  8607 New simproc record_upd_simproc for simplification of multiple record
  8608 updates enabled by default.  Moreover, trivial updates are also
  8609 removed: r(|x := x r|) = r.  INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break
  8610 occasionally, since simplification is more powerful by default.
  8611 
  8612 * typedef: proper support for polymorphic sets, which contain extra
  8613 type-variables in the term.
  8614 
  8615 * Simplifier: automatically reasons about transitivity chains
  8616 involving "trancl" (r^+) and "rtrancl" (r^*) by setting up tactics
  8617 provided by Provers/trancl.ML as additional solvers.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  8618 old proofs break occasionally as simplification may now solve more
  8619 goals than previously.
  8620 
  8621 * Simplifier: converts x <= y into x = y if assumption y <= x is
  8622 present.  Works for all partial orders (class "order"), in particular
  8623 numbers and sets.  For linear orders (e.g. numbers) it treats ~ x < y
  8624 just like y <= x.
  8625 
  8626 * Simplifier: new simproc for "let x = a in f x".  If a is a free or
  8627 bound variable or a constant then the let is unfolded.  Otherwise
  8628 first a is simplified to b, and then f b is simplified to g. If
  8629 possible we abstract b from g arriving at "let x = b in h x",
  8630 otherwise we unfold the let and arrive at g.  The simproc can be
  8631 enabled/disabled by the reference use_let_simproc.  Potential
  8632 INCOMPATIBILITY since simplification is more powerful by default.
  8633 
  8634 * Classical reasoning: the meson method now accepts theorems as arguments.
  8635 
  8636 * Prover support: pre-release of the Isabelle-ATP linkup, which runs background
  8637 jobs to provide advice on the provability of subgoals.
  8638 
  8639 * Theory OrderedGroup and Ring_and_Field: various additions and
  8640 improvements to faciliate calculations involving equalities and
  8641 inequalities.
  8642 
  8643 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  8644 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8645 
  8646   abs_eq             now named abs_of_nonneg
  8647   abs_of_ge_0        now named abs_of_nonneg
  8648   abs_minus_eq       now named abs_of_nonpos
  8649   imp_abs_id         now named abs_of_nonneg
  8650   imp_abs_neg_id     now named abs_of_nonpos
  8651   mult_pos           now named mult_pos_pos
  8652   mult_pos_le        now named mult_nonneg_nonneg
  8653   mult_pos_neg_le    now named mult_nonneg_nonpos
  8654   mult_pos_neg2_le   now named mult_nonneg_nonpos2
  8655   mult_neg           now named mult_neg_neg
  8656   mult_neg_le        now named mult_nonpos_nonpos
  8657 
  8658 * The following lemmas in Ring_and_Field have been added to the simplifier:
  8659 
  8660      zero_le_square
  8661      not_square_less_zero
  8662 
  8663   The following lemmas have been deleted from Real/RealPow:
  8664 
  8665      realpow_zero_zero
  8666      realpow_two
  8667      realpow_less
  8668      zero_le_power
  8669      realpow_two_le
  8670      abs_realpow_two
  8671      realpow_two_abs
  8672 
  8673 * Theory Parity: added rules for simplifying exponents.
  8674 
  8675 * Theory List:
  8676 
  8677 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  8678 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8679 
  8680   list_all_Nil       now named list_all.simps(1)
  8681   list_all_Cons      now named list_all.simps(2)
  8682   list_all_conv      now named list_all_iff
  8683   set_mem_eq         now named mem_iff
  8684 
  8685 * Theories SetsAndFunctions and BigO (see HOL/Library) support
  8686 asymptotic "big O" calculations.  See the notes in BigO.thy.
  8687 
  8688 
  8689 *** HOL-Complex ***
  8690 
  8691 * Theory RealDef: better support for embedding natural numbers and
  8692 integers in the reals.
  8693 
  8694 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  8695 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8696 
  8697   exp_ge_add_one_self  now requires no hypotheses
  8698   real_of_int_add      reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8699   real_of_int_minus    reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8700   real_of_int_diff     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8701   real_of_int_mult     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8702 
  8703 * Theory RComplete: expanded support for floor and ceiling functions.
  8704 
  8705 * Theory Ln is new, with properties of the natural logarithm
  8706 
  8707 * Hyperreal: There is a new type constructor "star" for making
  8708 nonstandard types.  The old type names are now type synonyms:
  8709 
  8710   hypreal = real star
  8711   hypnat = nat star
  8712   hcomplex = complex star
  8713 
  8714 * Hyperreal: Many groups of similarly-defined constants have been
  8715 replaced by polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8716 
  8717   star_of <-- hypreal_of_real, hypnat_of_nat, hcomplex_of_complex
  8718 
  8719   starset      <-- starsetNat, starsetC
  8720   *s*          <-- *sNat*, *sc*
  8721   starset_n    <-- starsetNat_n, starsetC_n
  8722   *sn*         <-- *sNatn*, *scn*
  8723   InternalSets <-- InternalNatSets, InternalCSets
  8724 
  8725   starfun      <-- starfun{Nat,Nat2,C,RC,CR}
  8726   *f*          <-- *fNat*, *fNat2*, *fc*, *fRc*, *fcR*
  8727   starfun_n    <-- starfun{Nat,Nat2,C,RC,CR}_n
  8728   *fn*         <-- *fNatn*, *fNat2n*, *fcn*, *fRcn*, *fcRn*
  8729   InternalFuns <-- InternalNatFuns, InternalNatFuns2, Internal{C,RC,CR}Funs
  8730 
  8731 * Hyperreal: Many type-specific theorems have been removed in favor of
  8732 theorems specific to various axiomatic type classes (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8733 
  8734   add_commute <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_commute
  8735   add_assoc   <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_assocs
  8736   OrderedGroup.add_0 <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_zero_left
  8737   OrderedGroup.add_0_right <-- {hypreal,hcomplex}_add_zero_right
  8738   right_minus <-- hypreal_add_minus
  8739   left_minus <-- {hypreal,hcomplex}_add_minus_left
  8740   mult_commute <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_mult_commute
  8741   mult_assoc <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_mult_assoc
  8742   mult_1_left <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_mult_1, hcomplex_mult_one_left
  8743   mult_1_right <-- hcomplex_mult_one_right
  8744   mult_zero_left <-- hcomplex_mult_zero_left
  8745   left_distrib <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_mult_distrib
  8746   right_distrib <-- hypnat_add_mult_distrib2
  8747   zero_neq_one <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_zero_not_eq_one
  8748   right_inverse <-- hypreal_mult_inverse
  8749   left_inverse <-- hypreal_mult_inverse_left, hcomplex_mult_inv_left
  8750   order_refl <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_le_refl
  8751   order_trans <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_le_trans
  8752   order_antisym <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_le_anti_sym
  8753   order_less_le <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_less_le
  8754   linorder_linear <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_le_linear
  8755   add_left_mono <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_add_left_mono
  8756   mult_strict_left_mono <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_mult_less_mono2
  8757   add_nonneg_nonneg <-- hypreal_le_add_order
  8758 
  8759 * Hyperreal: Separate theorems having to do with type-specific
  8760 versions of constants have been merged into theorems that apply to the
  8761 new polymorphic constants (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8762 
  8763   STAR_UNIV_set <-- {STAR_real,NatStar_real,STARC_complex}_set
  8764   STAR_empty_set <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_empty_set
  8765   STAR_Un <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_Un
  8766   STAR_Int <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_Int
  8767   STAR_Compl <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_Compl
  8768   STAR_subset <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_subset
  8769   STAR_mem <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_mem
  8770   STAR_mem_Compl <-- {STAR,STARC}_mem_Compl
  8771   STAR_diff <-- {STAR,STARC}_diff
  8772   STAR_star_of_image_subset <-- {STAR_hypreal_of_real, NatStar_hypreal_of_real,

  8851 
  8852 * Hyperreal: new method "transfer" that implements the transfer
  8853 principle of nonstandard analysis. With a subgoal that mentions
  8854 nonstandard types like "'a star", the command "apply transfer"
  8855 replaces it with an equivalent one that mentions only standard types.
  8856 To be successful, all free variables must have standard types; non-
  8857 standard variables must have explicit universal quantifiers.
  8858 
  8859 * Hyperreal: A theory of Taylor series.
  8860 
  8861 
  8862 *** HOLCF ***
  8863 
  8864 * Discontinued special version of 'constdefs' (which used to support
  8865 continuous functions) in favor of the general Pure one with full
  8866 type-inference.
  8867 
  8868 * New simplification procedure for solving continuity conditions; it
  8869 is much faster on terms with many nested lambda abstractions (cubic
  8870 instead of exponential time).
  8871 
  8872 * New syntax for domain package: selector names are now optional.
  8873 Parentheses should be omitted unless argument is lazy, for example:
  8874 
  8875   domain 'a stream = cons "'a" (lazy "'a stream")
  8876 
  8877 * New command 'fixrec' for defining recursive functions with pattern
  8878 matching; defining multiple functions with mutual recursion is also
  8879 supported.  Patterns may include the constants cpair, spair, up, sinl,
  8880 sinr, or any data constructor defined by the domain package. The given
  8881 equations are proven as rewrite rules. See HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  8882 syntax and examples.
  8883 
  8884 * New commands 'cpodef' and 'pcpodef' for defining predicate subtypes
  8885 of cpo and pcpo types. Syntax is exactly like the 'typedef' command,
  8886 but the proof obligation additionally includes an admissibility
  8887 requirement. The packages generate instances of class cpo or pcpo,
  8888 with continuity and strictness theorems for Rep and Abs.
  8889 
  8890 * HOLCF: Many theorems have been renamed according to a more standard naming
  8891 scheme (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8892 
  8893   foo_inject:  "foo$x = foo$y ==> x = y"
  8894   foo_eq:      "(foo$x = foo$y) = (x = y)"
  8895   foo_less:    "(foo$x << foo$y) = (x << y)"
  8896   foo_strict:  "foo$UU = UU"
  8897   foo_defined: "... ==> foo$x ~= UU"
  8898   foo_defined_iff: "(foo$x = UU) = (x = UU)"
  8899 
  8900 
  8901 *** ZF ***
  8902 
  8903 * ZF/ex: theories Group and Ring provide examples in abstract algebra,
  8904 including the First Isomorphism Theorem (on quotienting by the kernel
  8905 of a homomorphism).
  8906 
  8907 * ZF/Simplifier: install second copy of type solver that actually
  8908 makes use of TC rules declared to Isar proof contexts (or locales);
  8909 the old version is still required for ML proof scripts.
  8910 
  8911 
  8912 *** Cube ***
  8913 
  8914 * Converted to Isar theory format; use locales instead of axiomatic
  8915 theories.
  8916 
  8917 
  8918 *** ML ***
  8919 
  8920 * Pure/library.ML: added ##>, ##>>, #>> -- higher-order counterparts
  8921 for ||>, ||>>, |>>,
  8922 
  8923 * Pure/library.ML no longer defines its own option datatype, but uses
  8924 that of the SML basis, which has constructors NONE and SOME instead of
  8925 None and Some, as well as exception Option.Option instead of OPTION.
  8926 The functions the, if_none, is_some, is_none have been adapted
  8927 accordingly, while Option.map replaces apsome.
  8928 
  8929 * Pure/library.ML: the exception LIST has been given up in favour of
  8930 the standard exceptions Empty and Subscript, as well as
  8931 Library.UnequalLengths.  Function like Library.hd and Library.tl are
  8932 superceded by the standard hd and tl functions etc.
  8933 
  8934 A number of basic list functions are no longer exported to the ML
  8935 toplevel, as they are variants of predefined functions.  The following
  8936 suggests how one can translate existing code:
  8937 
  8938     rev_append xs ys = List.revAppend (xs, ys)
  8939     nth_elem (i, xs) = List.nth (xs, i)
  8940     last_elem xs = List.last xs
  8941     flat xss = List.concat xss
  8942     seq fs = List.app fs
  8943     partition P xs = List.partition P xs
  8944     mapfilter f xs = List.mapPartial f xs
  8945 
  8946 * Pure/library.ML: several combinators for linear functional
  8947 transformations, notably reverse application and composition:
  8948 
  8949   x |> f                f #> g
  8950   (x, y) |-> f          f #-> g
  8951 
  8952 * Pure/library.ML: introduced/changed precedence of infix operators:
  8953 
  8954   infix 1 |> |-> ||> ||>> |>> |>>> #> #->;
  8955   infix 2 ?;
  8956   infix 3 o oo ooo oooo;
  8957   infix 4 ~~ upto downto;
  8958 
  8959 Maybe INCOMPATIBILITY when any of those is used in conjunction with other
  8960 infix operators.
  8961 
  8962 * Pure/library.ML: natural list combinators fold, fold_rev, and
  8963 fold_map support linear functional transformations and nesting.  For
  8964 example:
  8965 
  8966   fold f [x1, ..., xN] y =
  8967     y |> f x1 |> ... |> f xN
  8968 
  8969   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] y =
  8970     y |> fold f xs1 |> ... |> fold f xsN
  8971 
  8972   fold f [x1, ..., xN] =
  8973     f x1 #> ... #> f xN
  8974 
  8975   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] =
  8976     fold f xs1 #> ... #> fold f xsN
  8977 
  8978 * Pure/library.ML: the following selectors on type 'a option are
  8979 available:
  8980 
  8981   the:               'a option -> 'a  (*partial*)
  8982   these:             'a option -> 'a  where 'a = 'b list
  8983   the_default: 'a -> 'a option -> 'a
  8984   the_list:          'a option -> 'a list
  8985 
  8986 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  8987 basic operations for association lists, following natural argument
  8988 order; moreover the explicit equality predicate passed here avoids
  8989 potentially expensive polymorphic runtime equality checks.
  8990 The old functions may be expressed as follows:
  8991 
  8992   assoc = uncurry (AList.lookup (op =))
  8993   assocs = these oo AList.lookup (op =)
  8994   overwrite = uncurry (AList.update (op =)) o swap
  8995 
  8996 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  8997 
  8998   val make: ('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> ('a * 'b) list
  8999   val find: ('a * 'b -> bool) -> ('c * 'b) list -> 'a -> 'c list
  9000 
  9001 replacing make_keylist and keyfilter (occassionally used)
  9002 Naive rewrites:
  9003 
  9004   make_keylist = AList.make
  9005   keyfilter = AList.find (op =)
  9006 
  9007 * eq_fst and eq_snd now take explicit equality parameter, thus
  9008   avoiding eqtypes. Naive rewrites:
  9009 
  9010     eq_fst = eq_fst (op =)
  9011     eq_snd = eq_snd (op =)
  9012 
  9013 * Removed deprecated apl and apr (rarely used).
  9014   Naive rewrites:
  9015 
  9016     apl (n, op) =>>= curry op n
  9017     apr (op, m) =>>= fn n => op (n, m)
  9018 
  9019 * Pure/General: structure OrdList (cf. Pure/General/ord_list.ML)
  9020 provides a reasonably efficient light-weight implementation of sets as
  9021 lists.
  9022 
  9023 * Pure/General: generic tables (cf. Pure/General/table.ML) provide a
  9024 few new operations; existing lookup and update are now curried to
  9025 follow natural argument order (for use with fold etc.);
  9026 INCOMPATIBILITY, use (uncurry Symtab.lookup) etc. as last resort.
  9027 
  9028 * Pure/General: output via the Isabelle channels of
  9029 writeln/warning/error etc. is now passed through Output.output, with a
  9030 hook for arbitrary transformations depending on the print_mode
  9031 (cf. Output.add_mode -- the first active mode that provides a output
  9032 function wins).  Already formatted output may be embedded into further
  9033 text via Output.raw; the result of Pretty.string_of/str_of and derived
  9034 functions (string_of_term/cterm/thm etc.) is already marked raw to
  9035 accommodate easy composition of diagnostic messages etc.  Programmers
  9036 rarely need to care about Output.output or Output.raw at all, with
  9037 some notable exceptions: Output.output is required when bypassing the
  9038 standard channels (writeln etc.), or in token translations to produce
  9039 properly formatted results; Output.raw is required when capturing
  9040 already output material that will eventually be presented to the user
  9041 a second time.  For the default print mode, both Output.output and
  9042 Output.raw have no effect.
  9043 
  9044 * Pure/General: Output.time_accumulator NAME creates an operator ('a
  9045 -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'b to measure runtime and count invocations; the
  9046 cumulative results are displayed at the end of a batch session.
  9047 
  9048 * Pure/General: File.sysify_path and File.quote_sysify path have been
  9049 replaced by File.platform_path and File.shell_path (with appropriate
  9050 hooks).  This provides a clean interface for unusual systems where the
  9051 internal and external process view of file names are different.
  9052 
  9053 * Pure: more efficient orders for basic syntactic entities: added
  9054 fast_string_ord, fast_indexname_ord, fast_term_ord; changed sort_ord
  9055 and typ_ord to use fast_string_ord and fast_indexname_ord (term_ord is
  9056 NOT affected); structures Symtab, Vartab, Typtab, Termtab use the fast
  9057 orders now -- potential INCOMPATIBILITY for code that depends on a
  9058 particular order for Symtab.keys, Symtab.dest, etc. (consider using
  9059 Library.sort_strings on result).
  9060 
  9061 * Pure/term.ML: combinators fold_atyps, fold_aterms, fold_term_types,
  9062 fold_types traverse types/terms from left to right, observing natural
  9063 argument order.  Supercedes previous foldl_XXX versions, add_frees,
  9064 add_vars etc. have been adapted as well: INCOMPATIBILITY.
  9065 
  9066 * Pure: name spaces have been refined, with significant changes of the
  9067 internal interfaces -- INCOMPATIBILITY.  Renamed cond_extern(_table)
  9068 to extern(_table).  The plain name entry path is superceded by a
  9069 general 'naming' context, which also includes the 'policy' to produce
  9070 a fully qualified name and external accesses of a fully qualified
  9071 name; NameSpace.extend is superceded by context dependent
  9072 Sign.declare_name.  Several theory and proof context operations modify
  9073 the naming context.  Especially note Theory.restore_naming and
  9074 ProofContext.restore_naming to get back to a sane state; note that
  9075 Theory.add_path is no longer sufficient to recover from
  9076 Theory.absolute_path in particular.
  9077 
  9078 * Pure: new flags short_names (default false) and unique_names
  9079 (default true) for controlling output of qualified names.  If
  9080 short_names is set, names are printed unqualified.  If unique_names is
  9081 reset, the name prefix is reduced to the minimum required to achieve
  9082 the original result when interning again, even if there is an overlap
  9083 with earlier declarations.
  9084 
  9085 * Pure/TheoryDataFun: change of the argument structure; 'prep_ext' is
  9086 now 'extend', and 'merge' gets an additional Pretty.pp argument
  9087 (useful for printing error messages).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  9088 
  9089 * Pure: major reorganization of the theory context.  Type Sign.sg and
  9090 Theory.theory are now identified, referring to the universal
  9091 Context.theory (see Pure/context.ML).  Actual signature and theory
  9092 content is managed as theory data.  The old code and interfaces were
  9093 spread over many files and structures; the new arrangement introduces
  9094 considerable INCOMPATIBILITY to gain more clarity:
  9095 
  9096   Context -- theory management operations (name, identity, inclusion,
  9097     parents, ancestors, merge, etc.), plus generic theory data;
  9098 
  9099   Sign -- logical signature and syntax operations (declaring consts,
  9100     types, etc.), plus certify/read for common entities;
  9101 
  9102   Theory -- logical theory operations (stating axioms, definitions,
  9103     oracles), plus a copy of logical signature operations (consts,
  9104     types, etc.); also a few basic management operations (Theory.copy,
  9105     Theory.merge, etc.)
  9106 
  9107 The most basic sign_of operations (Theory.sign_of, Thm.sign_of_thm
  9108 etc.) as well as the sign field in Thm.rep_thm etc. have been retained
  9109 for convenience -- they merely return the theory.
  9110 
  9111 * Pure: type Type.tsig is superceded by theory in most interfaces.
  9112 
  9113 * Pure: the Isar proof context type is already defined early in Pure
  9114 as Context.proof (note that ProofContext.context and Proof.context are
  9115 aliases, where the latter is the preferred name).  This enables other
  9116 Isabelle components to refer to that type even before Isar is present.
  9117 
  9118 * Pure/sign/theory: discontinued named name spaces (i.e. classK,
  9119 typeK, constK, axiomK, oracleK), but provide explicit operations for
  9120 any of these kinds.  For example, Sign.intern typeK is now
  9121 Sign.intern_type, Theory.hide_space Sign.typeK is now
  9122 Theory.hide_types.  Also note that former
  9123 Theory.hide_classes/types/consts are now
  9124 Theory.hide_classes_i/types_i/consts_i, while the non '_i' versions
  9125 internalize their arguments!  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  9126 
  9127 * Pure: get_thm interface (of PureThy and ProofContext) expects
  9128 datatype thmref (with constructors Name and NameSelection) instead of
  9129 plain string -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9130 
  9131 * Pure: cases produced by proof methods specify options, where NONE
  9132 means to remove case bindings -- INCOMPATIBILITY in
  9133 (RAW_)METHOD_CASES.
  9134 
  9135 * Pure: the following operations retrieve axioms or theorems from a
  9136 theory node or theory hierarchy, respectively:
  9137 
  9138   Theory.axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  9139   Theory.all_axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  9140   PureThy.thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  9141   PureThy.all_thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  9142 
  9143 * Pure: print_tac now outputs the goal through the trace channel.
  9144 
  9145 * Isar toplevel: improved diagnostics, mostly for Poly/ML only.
  9146 Reference Toplevel.debug (default false) controls detailed printing
  9147 and tracing of low-level exceptions; Toplevel.profiling (default 0)
  9148 controls execution profiling -- set to 1 for time and 2 for space
  9149 (both increase the runtime).
  9150 
  9151 * Isar session: The initial use of ROOT.ML is now always timed,
  9152 i.e. the log will show the actual process times, in contrast to the
  9153 elapsed wall-clock time that the outer shell wrapper produces.
  9154 
  9155 * Simplifier: improved handling of bound variables (nameless
  9156 representation, avoid allocating new strings).  Simprocs that invoke
  9157 the Simplifier recursively should use Simplifier.inherit_bounds to
  9158 avoid local name clashes.  Failure to do so produces warnings
  9159 "Simplifier: renamed bound variable ..."; set Simplifier.debug_bounds
  9160 for further details.
  9161 
  9162 * ML functions legacy_bindings and use_legacy_bindings produce ML fact
  9163 bindings for all theorems stored within a given theory; this may help
  9164 in porting non-Isar theories to Isar ones, while keeping ML proof
  9165 scripts for the time being.
  9166 
  9167 * ML operator HTML.with_charset specifies the charset begin used for
  9168 generated HTML files.  For example:
  9169 
  9170   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Hebrew";
  9171   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Chinese";
  9172 
  9173 
  9174 *** System ***
  9175 
  9176 * Allow symlinks to all proper Isabelle executables (Isabelle,
  9177 isabelle, isatool etc.).
  9178 
  9179 * ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT setting specifies preferred document format (for
  9180 isatool doc, isatool mkdir, display_drafts etc.).
  9181 
  9182 * isatool usedir: option -f allows specification of the ML file to be
  9183 used by Isabelle; default is ROOT.ML.
  9184 
  9185 * New isatool version outputs the version identifier of the Isabelle
  9186 distribution being used.
  9187 
  9188 * HOL: new isatool dimacs2hol converts files in DIMACS CNF format
  9189 (containing Boolean satisfiability problems) into Isabelle/HOL
  9190 theories.
  9191 
  9192 
  9193 
  9194 New in Isabelle2004 (April 2004)
  9195 --------------------------------
  9196 
  9197 *** General ***
  9198 
  9199 * Provers/order.ML:  new efficient reasoner for partial and linear orders.
  9200   Replaces linorder.ML.
  9201 
  9202 * Pure: Greek letters (except small lambda, \<lambda>), as well as Gothic
  9203   (\<aa>...\<zz>\<AA>...\<ZZ>), calligraphic (\<A>...\<Z>), and Euler
  9204   (\<a>...\<z>), are now considered normal letters, and can therefore
  9205   be used anywhere where an ASCII letter (a...zA...Z) has until
  9206   now. COMPATIBILITY: This obviously changes the parsing of some
  9207   terms, especially where a symbol has been used as a binder, say
  9208   '\<Pi>x. ...', which is now a type error since \<Pi>x will be parsed
  9209   as an identifier.  Fix it by inserting a space around former
  9210   symbols.  Call 'isatool fixgreek' to try to fix parsing errors in
  9211   existing theory and ML files.
  9212 
  9213 * Pure: Macintosh and Windows line-breaks are now allowed in theory files.
  9214 
  9215 * Pure: single letter sub/superscripts (\<^isub> and \<^isup>) are now
  9216   allowed in identifiers. Similar to Greek letters \<^isub> is now considered
  9217   a normal (but invisible) letter. For multiple letter subscripts repeat
  9218   \<^isub> like this: x\<^isub>1\<^isub>2.
  9219 
  9220 * Pure: There are now sub-/superscripts that can span more than one
  9221   character. Text between \<^bsub> and \<^esub> is set in subscript in
  9222   ProofGeneral and LaTeX, text between \<^bsup> and \<^esup> in
  9223   superscript. The new control characters are not identifier parts.
  9224 
  9225 * Pure: Control-symbols of the form \<^raw:...> will literally print the
  9226   content of "..." to the latex file instead of \isacntrl... . The "..."
  9227   may consist of any printable characters excluding the end bracket >.
  9228 
  9229 * Pure: Using new Isar command "finalconsts" (or the ML functions
  9230   Theory.add_finals or Theory.add_finals_i) it is now possible to
  9231   declare constants "final", which prevents their being given a definition
  9232   later.  It is useful for constants whose behaviour is fixed axiomatically
  9233   rather than definitionally, such as the meta-logic connectives.
  9234 
  9235 * Pure: 'instance' now handles general arities with general sorts
  9236   (i.e. intersections of classes),
  9237 
  9238 * Presentation: generated HTML now uses a CSS style sheet to make layout
  9239   (somewhat) independent of content. It is copied from lib/html/isabelle.css.
  9240   It can be changed to alter the colors/layout of generated pages.
  9241 
  9242 
  9243 *** Isar ***
  9244 
  9245 * Tactic emulation methods rule_tac, erule_tac, drule_tac, frule_tac,
  9246   cut_tac, subgoal_tac and thin_tac:
  9247   - Now understand static (Isar) contexts.  As a consequence, users of Isar
  9248     locales are no longer forced to write Isar proof scripts.
  9249     For details see Isar Reference Manual, paragraph 4.3.2: Further tactic
  9250     emulations.
  9251   - INCOMPATIBILITY: names of variables to be instantiated may no
  9252     longer be enclosed in quotes.  Instead, precede variable name with `?'.
  9253     This is consistent with the instantiation attribute "where".
  9254 
  9255 * Attributes "where" and "of":
  9256   - Now take type variables of instantiated theorem into account when reading
  9257     the instantiation string.  This fixes a bug that caused instantiated
  9258     theorems to have too special types in some circumstances.
  9259   - "where" permits explicit instantiations of type variables.
  9260 
  9261 * Calculation commands "moreover" and "also" no longer interfere with
  9262   current facts ("this"), admitting arbitrary combinations with "then"
  9263   and derived forms.
  9264 
  9265 * Locales:
  9266   - Goal statements involving the context element "includes" no longer
  9267     generate theorems with internal delta predicates (those ending on
  9268     "_axioms") in the premise.
  9269     Resolve particular premise with <locale>.intro to obtain old form.
  9270   - Fixed bug in type inference ("unify_frozen") that prevented mix of target
  9271     specification and "includes" elements in goal statement.
  9272   - Rule sets <locale>.intro and <locale>.axioms no longer declared as
  9273     [intro?] and [elim?] (respectively) by default.
  9274   - Experimental command for instantiation of locales in proof contexts:
  9275         instantiate <label>[<attrs>]: <loc>
  9276     Instantiates locale <loc> and adds all its theorems to the current context
  9277     taking into account their attributes.  Label and attrs are optional
  9278     modifiers, like in theorem declarations.  If present, names of
  9279     instantiated theorems are qualified with <label>, and the attributes
  9280     <attrs> are applied after any attributes these theorems might have already.
  9281       If the locale has assumptions, a chained fact of the form
  9282     "<loc> t1 ... tn" is expected from which instantiations of the parameters
  9283     are derived.  The command does not support old-style locales declared
  9284     with "locale (open)".
  9285       A few (very simple) examples can be found in FOL/ex/LocaleInst.thy.
  9286 
  9287 * HOL: Tactic emulation methods induct_tac and case_tac understand static
  9288   (Isar) contexts.
  9289 
  9290 
  9291 *** HOL ***
  9292 
  9293 * Proof import: new image HOL4 contains the imported library from
  9294   the HOL4 system with about 2500 theorems. It is imported by
  9295   replaying proof terms produced by HOL4 in Isabelle. The HOL4 image
  9296   can be used like any other Isabelle image.  See
  9297   HOL/Import/HOL/README for more information.
  9298 
  9299 * Simplifier:
  9300   - Much improved handling of linear and partial orders.
  9301     Reasoners for linear and partial orders are set up for type classes
  9302     "linorder" and "order" respectively, and are added to the default simpset
  9303     as solvers.  This means that the simplifier can build transitivity chains
  9304     to solve goals from the assumptions.
  9305   - INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break occasionally.  Typically, applications
  9306     of blast or auto after simplification become unnecessary because the goal
  9307     is solved by simplification already.
  9308 
  9309 * Numerics: new theory Ring_and_Field contains over 250 basic numerical laws,
  9310     all proved in axiomatic type classes for semirings, rings and fields.
  9311 
  9312 * Numerics:
  9313   - Numeric types (nat, int, and in HOL-Complex rat, real, complex, etc.) are
  9314     now formalized using the Ring_and_Field theory mentioned above.
  9315   - INCOMPATIBILITY: simplification and arithmetic behaves somewhat differently
  9316     than before, because now they are set up once in a generic manner.
  9317   - INCOMPATIBILITY: many type-specific arithmetic laws have gone.
  9318     Look for the general versions in Ring_and_Field (and Power if they concern
  9319     exponentiation).
  9320 
  9321 * Type "rat" of the rational numbers is now available in HOL-Complex.
  9322 
  9323 * Records:
  9324   - Record types are now by default printed with their type abbreviation
  9325     instead of the list of all field types. This can be configured via
  9326     the reference "print_record_type_abbr".
  9327   - Simproc "record_upd_simproc" for simplification of multiple updates added
  9328     (not enabled by default).
  9329   - Simproc "record_ex_sel_eq_simproc" to simplify EX x. sel r = x resp.
  9330     EX x. x = sel r to True (not enabled by default).
  9331   - Tactic "record_split_simp_tac" to split and simplify records added.
  9332 
  9333 * 'specification' command added, allowing for definition by
  9334   specification.  There is also an 'ax_specification' command that
  9335   introduces the new constants axiomatically.
  9336 
  9337 * arith(_tac) is now able to generate counterexamples for reals as well.
  9338 
  9339 * HOL-Algebra: new locale "ring" for non-commutative rings.
  9340 
  9341 * HOL-ex: InductiveInvariant_examples illustrates advanced recursive function
  9342   definitions, thanks to Sava Krsti\'{c} and John Matthews.
  9343 
  9344 * HOL-Matrix: a first theory for matrices in HOL with an application of
  9345   matrix theory to linear programming.
  9346 
  9347 * Unions and Intersections:
  9348   The latex output syntax of UN and INT has been changed
  9349   from "\Union x \in A. B" to "\Union_{x \in A} B"
  9350   i.e. the index formulae has become a subscript.
  9351   Similarly for "\Union x. B", and for \Inter instead of \Union.
  9352 
  9353 * Unions and Intersections over Intervals:
  9354   There is new short syntax "UN i<=n. A" for "UN i:{0..n}. A". There is
  9355   also an x-symbol version with subscripts "\<Union>\<^bsub>i <= n\<^esub>. A"
  9356   like in normal math, and corresponding versions for < and for intersection.
  9357 
  9358 * HOL/List: Ordering "lexico" is renamed "lenlex" and the standard
  9359   lexicographic dictonary ordering has been added as "lexord".
  9360 
  9361 * ML: the legacy theory structures Int and List have been removed. They had
  9362   conflicted with ML Basis Library structures having the same names.
  9363 
  9364 * 'refute' command added to search for (finite) countermodels.  Only works
  9365   for a fragment of HOL.  The installation of an external SAT solver is
  9366   highly recommended.  See "HOL/Refute.thy" for details.
  9367 
  9368 * 'quickcheck' command: Allows to find counterexamples by evaluating
  9369   formulae under an assignment of free variables to random values.
  9370   In contrast to 'refute', it can deal with inductive datatypes,
  9371   but cannot handle quantifiers. See "HOL/ex/Quickcheck_Examples.thy"
  9372   for examples.
  9373 
  9374 
  9375 *** HOLCF ***
  9376 
  9377 * Streams now come with concatenation and are part of the HOLCF image
  9378 
  9379 
  9380 
  9381 New in Isabelle2003 (May 2003)
  9382 ------------------------------
  9383 
  9384 *** General ***
  9385 
  9386 * Provers/simplifier:
  9387 
  9388   - Completely reimplemented method simp (ML: Asm_full_simp_tac):
  9389     Assumptions are now subject to complete mutual simplification,
  9390     not just from left to right. The simplifier now preserves
  9391     the order of assumptions.
  9392 
  9393     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  9394 
  9395     -- simp sometimes diverges where the old version did
  9396        not, e.g. invoking simp on the goal
  9397 
  9398         [| P (f x); y = x; f x = f y |] ==> Q
  9399 
  9400        now gives rise to the infinite reduction sequence
  9401 
  9402         P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> P(f y) --(y = x)--> P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> ...
  9403 
  9404        Using "simp (asm_lr)" (ML: Asm_lr_simp_tac) instead often solves this
  9405        kind of problem.
  9406 
  9407     -- Tactics combining classical reasoner and simplification (such as auto)
  9408        are also affected by this change, because many of them rely on
  9409        simp. They may sometimes diverge as well or yield a different numbers
  9410        of subgoals. Try to use e.g. force, fastsimp, or safe instead of auto
  9411        in case of problems. Sometimes subsequent calls to the classical
  9412        reasoner will fail because a preceeding call to the simplifier too
  9413        eagerly simplified the goal, e.g. deleted redundant premises.
  9414 
  9415   - The simplifier trace now shows the names of the applied rewrite rules
  9416 
  9417   - You can limit the number of recursive invocations of the simplifier
  9418     during conditional rewriting (where the simplifie tries to solve the
  9419     conditions before applying the rewrite rule):
  9420     ML "simp_depth_limit := n"
  9421     where n is an integer. Thus you can force termination where previously
  9422     the simplifier would diverge.
  9423 
  9424   - Accepts free variables as head terms in congruence rules.  Useful in Isar.
  9425 
  9426   - No longer aborts on failed congruence proof.  Instead, the
  9427     congruence is ignored.
  9428 
  9429 * Pure: New generic framework for extracting programs from constructive
  9430   proofs. See HOL/Extraction.thy for an example instantiation, as well
  9431   as HOL/Extraction for some case studies.
  9432 
  9433 * Pure: The main goal of the proof state is no longer shown by default, only
  9434 the subgoals. This behaviour is controlled by a new flag.
  9435    PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Settings -> Show Main Goal
  9436 (ML: Proof.show_main_goal).
  9437 
  9438 * Pure: You can find all matching introduction rules for subgoal 1, i.e. all
  9439 rules whose conclusion matches subgoal 1:
  9440       PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Show me -> matching rules
  9441 The rules are ordered by how closely they match the subgoal.
  9442 In particular, rules that solve a subgoal outright are displayed first
  9443 (or rather last, the way they are printed).
  9444 (ML: ProofGeneral.print_intros())
  9445 
  9446 * Pure: New flag trace_unify_fail causes unification to print
  9447 diagnostic information (PG: in trace buffer) when it fails. This is
  9448 useful for figuring out why single step proofs like rule, erule or
  9449 assumption failed.
  9450 
  9451 * Pure: Locale specifications now produce predicate definitions
  9452 according to the body of text (covering assumptions modulo local
  9453 definitions); predicate "loc_axioms" covers newly introduced text,
  9454 while "loc" is cumulative wrt. all included locale expressions; the
  9455 latter view is presented only on export into the global theory
  9456 context; potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use "(open)" option to fall back
  9457 on the old view without predicates;
  9458 
  9459 * Pure: predefined locales "var" and "struct" are useful for sharing
  9460 parameters (as in CASL, for example); just specify something like
  9461 ``var x + var y + struct M'' as import;
  9462 
  9463 * Pure: improved thms_containing: proper indexing of facts instead of
  9464 raw theorems; check validity of results wrt. current name space;
  9465 include local facts of proof configuration (also covers active
  9466 locales), cover fixed variables in index; may use "_" in term
  9467 specification; an optional limit for the number of printed facts may
  9468 be given (the default is 40);
  9469 
  9470 * Pure: disallow duplicate fact bindings within new-style theory files
  9471 (batch-mode only);
  9472 
  9473 * Provers: improved induct method: assumptions introduced by case
  9474 "foo" are split into "foo.hyps" (from the rule) and "foo.prems" (from
  9475 the goal statement); "foo" still refers to all facts collectively;
  9476 
  9477 * Provers: the function blast.overloaded has been removed: all constants
  9478 are regarded as potentially overloaded, which improves robustness in exchange
  9479 for slight decrease in efficiency;
  9480 
  9481 * Provers/linorder: New generic prover for transitivity reasoning over
  9482 linear orders.  Note: this prover is not efficient!
  9483 
  9484 * Isar: preview of problems to finish 'show' now produce an error
  9485 rather than just a warning (in interactive mode);
  9486 
  9487 
  9488 *** HOL ***
  9489 
  9490 * arith(_tac)
  9491 
  9492  - Produces a counter example if it cannot prove a goal.
  9493    Note that the counter example may be spurious if the goal is not a formula
  9494    of quantifier-free linear arithmetic.
  9495    In ProofGeneral the counter example appears in the trace buffer.
  9496 
  9497  - Knows about div k and mod k where k is a numeral of type nat or int.
  9498 
  9499  - Calls full Presburger arithmetic (by Amine Chaieb) if quantifier-free
  9500    linear arithmetic fails. This takes account of quantifiers and divisibility.
  9501    Presburger arithmetic can also be called explicitly via presburger(_tac).
  9502 
  9503 * simp's arithmetic capabilities have been enhanced a bit: it now
  9504 takes ~= in premises into account (by performing a case split);
  9505 
  9506 * simp reduces "m*(n div m) + n mod m" to n, even if the two summands
  9507 are distributed over a sum of terms;
  9508 
  9509 * New tactic "trans_tac" and method "trans" instantiate
  9510 Provers/linorder.ML for axclasses "order" and "linorder" (predicates
  9511 "<=", "<" and "=").
  9512 
  9513 * function INCOMPATIBILITIES: Pi-sets have been redefined and moved from main
  9514 HOL to Library/FuncSet; constant "Fun.op o" is now called "Fun.comp";
  9515 
  9516 * 'typedef' command has new option "open" to suppress the set
  9517 definition;
  9518 
  9519 * functions Min and Max on finite sets have been introduced (theory
  9520 Finite_Set);
  9521 
  9522 * attribute [symmetric] now works for relations as well; it turns
  9523 (x,y) : R^-1 into (y,x) : R, and vice versa;
  9524 
  9525 * induct over a !!-quantified statement (say !!x1..xn):
  9526   each "case" automatically performs "fix x1 .. xn" with exactly those names.
  9527 
  9528 * Map: `empty' is no longer a constant but a syntactic abbreviation for
  9529 %x. None. Warning: empty_def now refers to the previously hidden definition
  9530 of the empty set.
  9531 
  9532 * Algebra: formalization of classical algebra.  Intended as base for
  9533 any algebraic development in Isabelle.  Currently covers group theory
  9534 (up to Sylow's theorem) and ring theory (Universal Property of
  9535 Univariate Polynomials).  Contributions welcome;
  9536 
  9537 * GroupTheory: deleted, since its material has been moved to Algebra;
  9538 
  9539 * Complex: new directory of the complex numbers with numeric constants,
  9540 nonstandard complex numbers, and some complex analysis, standard and
  9541 nonstandard (Jacques Fleuriot);
  9542 
  9543 * HOL-Complex: new image for analysis, replacing HOL-Real and HOL-Hyperreal;
  9544 
  9545 * Hyperreal: introduced Gauge integration and hyperreal logarithms (Jacques
  9546 Fleuriot);
  9547 
  9548 * Real/HahnBanach: updated and adapted to locales;
  9549 
  9550 * NumberTheory: added Gauss's law of quadratic reciprocity (by Avigad,
  9551 Gray and Kramer);
  9552 
  9553 * UNITY: added the Meier-Sanders theory of progress sets;
  9554 
  9555 * MicroJava: bytecode verifier and lightweight bytecode verifier
  9556 as abstract algorithms, instantiated to the JVM;
  9557 
  9558 * Bali: Java source language formalization. Type system, operational
  9559 semantics, axiomatic semantics. Supported language features:
  9560 classes, interfaces, objects,virtual methods, static methods,
  9561 static/instance fields, arrays, access modifiers, definite
  9562 assignment, exceptions.
  9563 
  9564 
  9565 *** ZF ***
  9566 
  9567 * ZF/Constructible: consistency proof for AC (Gdel's constructible
  9568 universe, etc.);
  9569 
  9570 * Main ZF: virtually all theories converted to new-style format;
  9571 
  9572 
  9573 *** ML ***
  9574 
  9575 * Pure: Tactic.prove provides sane interface for internal proofs;
  9576 omits the infamous "standard" operation, so this is more appropriate
  9577 than prove_goalw_cterm in many situations (e.g. in simprocs);
  9578 
  9579 * Pure: improved error reporting of simprocs;
  9580 
  9581 * Provers: Simplifier.simproc(_i) provides sane interface for setting
  9582 up simprocs;
  9583 
  9584 
  9585 *** Document preparation ***
  9586 
  9587 * uses \par instead of \\ for line breaks in theory text. This may
  9588 shift some page breaks in large documents. To get the old behaviour
  9589 use \renewcommand{\isanewline}{\mbox{}\\\mbox{}} in root.tex.
  9590 
  9591 * minimized dependencies of isabelle.sty and isabellesym.sty on
  9592 other packages
  9593 
  9594 * \<euro> now needs package babel/greek instead of marvosym (which
  9595 broke \Rightarrow)
  9596 
  9597 * normal size for \<zero>...\<nine> (uses \mathbf instead of
  9598 textcomp package)
  9599 
  9600 
  9601 
  9602 New in Isabelle2002 (March 2002)
  9603 --------------------------------
  9604 
  9605 *** Document preparation ***
  9606 
  9607 * greatly simplified document preparation setup, including more
  9608 graceful interpretation of isatool usedir -i/-d/-D options, and more
  9609 instructive isatool mkdir; users should basically be able to get
  9610 started with "isatool mkdir HOL Test && isatool make"; alternatively,
  9611 users may run a separate document processing stage manually like this:
  9612 "isatool usedir -D output HOL Test && isatool document Test/output";
  9613 
  9614 * theory dependency graph may now be incorporated into documents;
  9615 isatool usedir -g true will produce session_graph.eps/.pdf for use
  9616 with \includegraphics of LaTeX;
  9617 
  9618 * proper spacing of consecutive markup elements, especially text
  9619 blocks after section headings;
  9620 
  9621 * support bold style (for single symbols only), input syntax is like
  9622 this: "\<^bold>\<alpha>" or "\<^bold>A";
  9623 
  9624 * \<bullet> is now output as bold \cdot by default, which looks much
  9625 better in printed text;
  9626 
  9627 * added default LaTeX bindings for \<tturnstile> and \<TTurnstile>;
  9628 note that these symbols are currently unavailable in Proof General /
  9629 X-Symbol; new symbols \<zero>, \<one>, ..., \<nine>, and \<euro>;
  9630 
  9631 * isatool latex no longer depends on changed TEXINPUTS, instead
  9632 isatool document copies the Isabelle style files to the target
  9633 location;
  9634 
  9635 
  9636 *** Isar ***
  9637 
  9638 * Pure/Provers: improved proof by cases and induction;
  9639   - 'case' command admits impromptu naming of parameters (such as
  9640     "case (Suc n)");
  9641   - 'induct' method divinates rule instantiation from the inductive
  9642     claim; no longer requires excessive ?P bindings for proper
  9643     instantiation of cases;
  9644   - 'induct' method properly enumerates all possibilities of set/type
  9645     rules; as a consequence facts may be also passed through *type*
  9646     rules without further ado;
  9647   - 'induct' method now derives symbolic cases from the *rulified*
  9648     rule (before it used to rulify cases stemming from the internal
  9649     atomized version); this means that the context of a non-atomic
  9650     statement becomes is included in the hypothesis, avoiding the
  9651     slightly cumbersome show "PROP ?case" form;
  9652   - 'induct' may now use elim-style induction rules without chaining
  9653     facts, using ``missing'' premises from the goal state; this allows
  9654     rules stemming from inductive sets to be applied in unstructured
  9655     scripts, while still benefitting from proper handling of non-atomic
  9656     statements; NB: major inductive premises need to be put first, all
  9657     the rest of the goal is passed through the induction;
  9658   - 'induct' proper support for mutual induction involving non-atomic
  9659     rule statements (uses the new concept of simultaneous goals, see
  9660     below);
  9661   - append all possible rule selections, but only use the first
  9662     success (no backtracking);
  9663   - removed obsolete "(simplified)" and "(stripped)" options of methods;
  9664   - undeclared rule case names default to numbers 1, 2, 3, ...;
  9665   - added 'print_induct_rules' (covered by help item in recent Proof
  9666     General versions);
  9667   - moved induct/cases attributes to Pure, methods to Provers;
  9668   - generic method setup instantiated for FOL and HOL;
  9669 
  9670 * Pure: support multiple simultaneous goal statements, for example
  9671 "have a: A and b: B" (same for 'theorem' etc.); being a pure
  9672 meta-level mechanism, this acts as if several individual goals had
  9673 been stated separately; in particular common proof methods need to be
  9674 repeated in order to cover all claims; note that a single elimination
  9675 step is *not* sufficient to establish the two conjunctions, so this
  9676 fails:
  9677 
  9678   assume "A & B" then have A and B ..   (*".." fails*)
  9679 
  9680 better use "obtain" in situations as above; alternative refer to
  9681 multi-step methods like 'auto', 'simp_all', 'blast+' etc.;
  9682 
  9683 * Pure: proper integration with ``locales''; unlike the original
  9684 version by Florian Kammller, Isar locales package high-level proof
  9685 contexts rather than raw logical ones (e.g. we admit to include
  9686 attributes everywhere); operations on locales include merge and
  9687 rename; support for implicit arguments (``structures''); simultaneous
  9688 type-inference over imports and text; see also HOL/ex/Locales.thy for
  9689 some examples;
  9690 
  9691 * Pure: the following commands have been ``localized'', supporting a
  9692 target locale specification "(in name)": 'lemma', 'theorem',
  9693 'corollary', 'lemmas', 'theorems', 'declare'; the results will be
  9694 stored both within the locale and at the theory level (exported and
  9695 qualified by the locale name);
  9696 
  9697 * Pure: theory goals may now be specified in ``long'' form, with
  9698 ad-hoc contexts consisting of arbitrary locale elements. for example
  9699 ``lemma foo: fixes x assumes "A x" shows "B x"'' (local syntax and
  9700 definitions may be given, too); the result is a meta-level rule with
  9701 the context elements being discharged in the obvious way;
  9702 
  9703 * Pure: new proof command 'using' allows to augment currently used
  9704 facts after a goal statement ('using' is syntactically analogous to
  9705 'apply', but acts on the goal's facts only); this allows chained facts
  9706 to be separated into parts given before and after a claim, as in
  9707 ``from a and b have C using d and e <proof>'';
  9708 
  9709 * Pure: renamed "antecedent" case to "rule_context";
  9710 
  9711 * Pure: new 'judgment' command records explicit information about the
  9712 object-logic embedding (used by several tools internally); no longer
  9713 use hard-wired "Trueprop";
  9714 
  9715 * Pure: added 'corollary' command;
  9716 
  9717 * Pure: fixed 'token_translation' command;
  9718 
  9719 * Pure: removed obsolete 'exported' attribute;
  9720 
  9721 * Pure: dummy pattern "_" in is/let is now automatically lifted over
  9722 bound variables: "ALL x. P x --> Q x" (is "ALL x. _ --> ?C x")
  9723 supersedes more cumbersome ... (is "ALL x. _ x --> ?C x");
  9724 
  9725 * Pure: method 'atomize' presents local goal premises as object-level
  9726 statements (atomic meta-level propositions); setup controlled via
  9727 rewrite rules declarations of 'atomize' attribute; example
  9728 application: 'induct' method with proper rule statements in improper
  9729 proof *scripts*;
  9730 
  9731 * Pure: emulation of instantiation tactics (rule_tac, cut_tac, etc.)
  9732 now consider the syntactic context of assumptions, giving a better
  9733 chance to get type-inference of the arguments right (this is
  9734 especially important for locales);
  9735 
  9736 * Pure: "sorry" no longer requires quick_and_dirty in interactive
  9737 mode;
  9738 
  9739 * Pure/obtain: the formal conclusion "thesis", being marked as
  9740 ``internal'', may no longer be reference directly in the text;
  9741 potential INCOMPATIBILITY, may need to use "?thesis" in rare
  9742 situations;
  9743 
  9744 * Pure: generic 'sym' attribute which declares a rule both as pure
  9745 'elim?' and for the 'symmetric' operation;
  9746 
  9747 * Pure: marginal comments ``--'' may now occur just anywhere in the
  9748 text; the fixed correlation with particular command syntax has been
  9749 discontinued;
  9750 
  9751 * Pure: new method 'rules' is particularly well-suited for proof
  9752 search in intuitionistic logic; a bit slower than 'blast' or 'fast',
  9753 but often produces more compact proof terms with less detours;
  9754 
  9755 * Pure/Provers/classical: simplified integration with pure rule
  9756 attributes and methods; the classical "intro?/elim?/dest?"
  9757 declarations coincide with the pure ones; the "rule" method no longer
  9758 includes classically swapped intros; "intro" and "elim" methods no
  9759 longer pick rules from the context; also got rid of ML declarations
  9760 AddXIs/AddXEs/AddXDs; all of this has some potential for
  9761 INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9762 
  9763 * Provers/classical: attribute 'swapped' produces classical inversions
  9764 of introduction rules;
  9765 
  9766 * Provers/simplifier: 'simplified' attribute may refer to explicit
  9767 rules instead of full simplifier context; 'iff' attribute handles
  9768 conditional rules;
  9769 
  9770 * HOL: 'typedef' now allows alternative names for Rep/Abs morphisms;
  9771 
  9772 * HOL: 'recdef' now fails on unfinished automated proofs, use
  9773 "(permissive)" option to recover old behavior;
  9774 
  9775 * HOL: 'inductive' no longer features separate (collective) attributes
  9776 for 'intros' (was found too confusing);
  9777 
  9778 * HOL: properly declared induction rules less_induct and
  9779 wf_induct_rule;
  9780 
  9781 
  9782 *** HOL ***
  9783 
  9784 * HOL: moved over to sane numeral syntax; the new policy is as
  9785 follows:
  9786 
  9787   - 0 and 1 are polymorphic constants, which are defined on any
  9788   numeric type (nat, int, real etc.);
  9789 
  9790   - 2, 3, 4, ... and -1, -2, -3, ... are polymorphic numerals, based
  9791   binary representation internally;
  9792 
  9793   - type nat has special constructor Suc, and generally prefers Suc 0
  9794   over 1::nat and Suc (Suc 0) over 2::nat;
  9795 
  9796 This change may cause significant problems of INCOMPATIBILITY; here
  9797 are some hints on converting existing sources:
  9798 
  9799   - due to the new "num" token, "-0" and "-1" etc. are now atomic
  9800   entities, so expressions involving "-" (unary or binary minus) need
  9801   to be spaced properly;
  9802 
  9803   - existing occurrences of "1" may need to be constraint "1::nat" or
  9804   even replaced by Suc 0; similar for old "2";
  9805 
  9806   - replace "#nnn" by "nnn", and "#-nnn" by "-nnn";
  9807 
  9808   - remove all special provisions on numerals in proofs;
  9809 
  9810 * HOL: simp rules nat_number expand numerals on nat to Suc/0
  9811 representation (depends on bin_arith_simps in the default context);
  9812 
  9813 * HOL: symbolic syntax for x^2 (numeral 2);
  9814 
  9815 * HOL: the class of all HOL types is now called "type" rather than
  9816 "term"; INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt references to this type class
  9817 in axclass/classes, instance/arities, and (usually rare) occurrences
  9818 in typings (of consts etc.); internally the class is called
  9819 "HOL.type", ML programs should refer to HOLogic.typeS;
  9820 
  9821 * HOL/record package improvements:
  9822   - new derived operations "fields" to build a partial record section,
  9823     "extend" to promote a fixed record to a record scheme, and
  9824     "truncate" for the reverse; cf. theorems "xxx.defs", which are *not*
  9825     declared as simp by default;
  9826   - shared operations ("more", "fields", etc.) now need to be always
  9827     qualified) --- potential INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9828   - removed "make_scheme" operations (use "make" with "extend") --
  9829     INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9830   - removed "more" class (simply use "term") -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9831   - provides cases/induct rules for use with corresponding Isar
  9832     methods (for concrete records, record schemes, concrete more
  9833     parts, and schematic more parts -- in that order);
  9834   - internal definitions directly based on a light-weight abstract
  9835     theory of product types over typedef rather than datatype;
  9836 
  9837 * HOL: generic code generator for generating executable ML code from
  9838 specifications; specific support for HOL constructs such as inductive
  9839 datatypes and sets, as well as recursive functions; can be invoked
  9840 via 'generate_code' theory section;
  9841 
  9842 * HOL: canonical cases/induct rules for n-tuples (n = 3..7);
  9843 
  9844 * HOL: consolidated and renamed several theories.  In particular:
  9845         Ord.thy has been absorbed into HOL.thy
  9846         String.thy has been absorbed into List.thy
  9847 
  9848 * HOL: concrete setsum syntax "\<Sum>i:A. b" == "setsum (%i. b) A"
  9849 (beware of argument permutation!);
  9850 
  9851 * HOL: linorder_less_split superseded by linorder_cases;
  9852 
  9853 * HOL/List: "nodups" renamed to "distinct";
  9854 
  9855 * HOL: added "The" definite description operator; move Hilbert's "Eps"
  9856 to peripheral theory "Hilbert_Choice"; some INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  9857   - Ex_def has changed, now need to use some_eq_ex
  9858 
  9859 * HOL: made split_all_tac safe; EXISTING PROOFS MAY FAIL OR LOOP, so
  9860 in this (rare) case use:
  9861 
  9862   delSWrapper "split_all_tac"
  9863   addSbefore ("unsafe_split_all_tac", unsafe_split_all_tac)
  9864 
  9865 * HOL: added safe wrapper "split_conv_tac" to claset; EXISTING PROOFS
  9866 MAY FAIL;
  9867 
  9868 * HOL: introduced f^n = f o ... o f; warning: due to the limits of
  9869 Isabelle's type classes, ^ on functions and relations has too general
  9870 a domain, namely ('a * 'b) set and 'a => 'b; this means that it may be
  9871 necessary to attach explicit type constraints;
  9872 
  9873 * HOL/Relation: the prefix name of the infix "O" has been changed from
  9874 "comp" to "rel_comp"; INCOMPATIBILITY: a few theorems have been
  9875 renamed accordingly (eg "compI" -> "rel_compI").
  9876 
  9877 * HOL: syntax translations now work properly with numerals and records
  9878 expressions;
  9879 
  9880 * HOL: bounded abstraction now uses syntax "%" / "\<lambda>" instead
  9881 of "lam" -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9882 
  9883 * HOL: got rid of some global declarations (potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  9884 for ML tools): const "()" renamed "Product_Type.Unity", type "unit"
  9885 renamed "Product_Type.unit";
  9886 
  9887 * HOL: renamed rtrancl_into_rtrancl2 to converse_rtrancl_into_rtrancl
  9888 
  9889 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem "optionE" (use "option.exhaust", or
  9890 the "cases" method);
  9891 
  9892 * HOL/GroupTheory: group theory examples including Sylow's theorem (by
  9893 Florian Kammller);
  9894 
  9895 * HOL/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory format; several
  9896 parts turned into readable document, with proper Isar proof texts and
  9897 some explanations (by Gerwin Klein);
  9898 
  9899 * HOL-Real: added Complex_Numbers (by Gertrud Bauer);
  9900 
  9901 * HOL-Hyperreal is now a logic image;
  9902 
  9903 
  9904 *** HOLCF ***
  9905 
  9906 * Isar: consts/constdefs supports mixfix syntax for continuous
  9907 operations;
  9908 
  9909 * Isar: domain package adapted to new-style theory format, e.g. see
  9910 HOLCF/ex/Dnat.thy;
  9911 
  9912 * theory Lift: proper use of rep_datatype lift instead of ML hacks --
  9913 potential INCOMPATIBILITY; now use plain induct_tac instead of former
  9914 lift.induct_tac, always use UU instead of Undef;
  9915 
  9916 * HOLCF/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory;
  9917 
  9918 
  9919 *** ZF ***
  9920 
  9921 * Isar: proper integration of logic-specific tools and packages,
  9922 including theory commands '(co)inductive', '(co)datatype',
  9923 'rep_datatype', 'inductive_cases', as well as methods 'ind_cases',
  9924 'induct_tac', 'case_tac', and 'typecheck' (with attribute 'TC');
  9925 
  9926 * theory Main no longer includes AC; for the Axiom of Choice, base
  9927 your theory on Main_ZFC;
  9928 
  9929 * the integer library now covers quotients and remainders, with many
  9930 laws relating division to addition, multiplication, etc.;
  9931 
  9932 * ZF/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY is now available in ZF, giving a
  9933 typeless version of the formalism;
  9934 
  9935 * ZF/AC, Coind, IMP, Resid: updated and converted to new-style theory
  9936 format;
  9937 
  9938 * ZF/Induct: new directory for examples of inductive definitions,
  9939 including theory Multiset for multiset orderings; converted to
  9940 new-style theory format;
  9941 
  9942 * ZF: many new theorems about lists, ordinals, etc.;
  9943 
  9944 
  9945 *** General ***
  9946 
  9947 * Pure/kernel: meta-level proof terms (by Stefan Berghofer); reference
  9948 variable proof controls level of detail: 0 = no proofs (only oracle
  9949 dependencies), 1 = lemma dependencies, 2 = compact proof terms; see
  9950 also ref manual for further ML interfaces;
  9951 
  9952 * Pure/axclass: removed obsolete ML interface
  9953 goal_subclass/goal_arity;
  9954 
  9955 * Pure/syntax: new token syntax "num" for plain numerals (without "#"
  9956 of "xnum"); potential INCOMPATIBILITY, since -0, -1 etc. are now
  9957 separate tokens, so expressions involving minus need to be spaced
  9958 properly;
  9959 
  9960 * Pure/syntax: support non-oriented infixes, using keyword "infix"
  9961 rather than "infixl" or "infixr";
  9962 
  9963 * Pure/syntax: concrete syntax for dummy type variables admits genuine
  9964 sort constraint specifications in type inference; e.g. "x::_::foo"
  9965 ensures that the type of "x" is of sort "foo" (but not necessarily a
  9966 type variable);
  9967 
  9968 * Pure/syntax: print modes "type_brackets" and "no_type_brackets"
  9969 control output of nested => (types); the default behavior is
  9970 "type_brackets";
  9971 
  9972 * Pure/syntax: builtin parse translation for "_constify" turns valued
  9973 tokens into AST constants;
  9974 
  9975 * Pure/syntax: prefer later declarations of translations and print
  9976 translation functions; potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to reverse
  9977 multiple declarations for same syntax element constant;
  9978 
  9979 * Pure/show_hyps reset by default (in accordance to existing Isar
  9980 practice);
  9981 
  9982 * Provers/classical: renamed addaltern to addafter, addSaltern to
  9983 addSafter;
  9984 
  9985 * Provers/clasimp: ``iff'' declarations now handle conditional rules
  9986 as well;
  9987 
  9988 * system: tested support for MacOS X; should be able to get Isabelle +
  9989 Proof General to work in a plain Terminal after installing Poly/ML
  9990 (e.g. from the Isabelle distribution area) and GNU bash alone
  9991 (e.g. from http://www.apple.com); full X11, XEmacs and X-Symbol
  9992 support requires further installations, e.g. from
  9993 http://fink.sourceforge.net/);
  9994 
  9995 * system: support Poly/ML 4.1.1 (able to manage larger heaps);
  9996 
  9997 * system: reduced base memory usage by Poly/ML (approx. 20 MB instead
  9998 of 40 MB), cf. ML_OPTIONS;
  9999 
 10000 * system: Proof General keywords specification is now part of the
 10001 Isabelle distribution (see etc/isar-keywords.el);
 10002 
 10003 * system: support for persistent Proof General sessions (refrain from
 10004 outdating all loaded theories on startup); user may create writable
 10005 logic images like this: ``isabelle -q HOL Test'';
 10006 
 10007 * system: smart selection of Isabelle process versus Isabelle
 10008 interface, accommodates case-insensitive file systems (e.g. HFS+); may
 10009 run both "isabelle" and "Isabelle" even if file names are badly
 10010 damaged (executable inspects the case of the first letter of its own
 10011 name); added separate "isabelle-process" and "isabelle-interface";
 10012 
 10013 * system: refrain from any attempt at filtering input streams; no
 10014 longer support ``8bit'' encoding of old isabelle font, instead proper
 10015 iso-latin characters may now be used; the related isatools
 10016 "symbolinput" and "nonascii" have disappeared as well;
 10017 
 10018 * system: removed old "xterm" interface (the print modes "xterm" and
 10019 "xterm_color" are still available for direct use in a suitable
 10020 terminal);
 10021 
 10022 
 10023 
 10024 New in Isabelle99-2 (February 2001)
 10025 -----------------------------------
 10026 
 10027 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
 10028 
 10029 * HOL: please note that theories in the Library and elsewhere often use the
 10030 new-style (Isar) format; to refer to their theorems in an ML script you must
 10031 bind them to ML identifers by e.g.      val thm_name = thm "thm_name";
 10032 
 10033 * HOL: inductive package no longer splits induction rule aggressively,
 10034 but only as far as specified by the introductions given; the old
 10035 format may be recovered via ML function complete_split_rule or attribute
 10036 'split_rule (complete)';
 10037 
 10038 * HOL: induct renamed to lfp_induct, lfp_Tarski to lfp_unfold,
 10039 gfp_Tarski to gfp_unfold;
 10040 
 10041 * HOL: contrapos, contrapos2 renamed to contrapos_nn, contrapos_pp;
 10042 
 10043 * HOL: infix "dvd" now has priority 50 rather than 70 (because it is a
 10044 relation); infix "^^" has been renamed "``"; infix "``" has been
 10045 renamed "`"; "univalent" has been renamed "single_valued";
 10046 
 10047 * HOL/Real: "rinv" and "hrinv" replaced by overloaded "inverse"
 10048 operation;
 10049 
 10050 * HOLCF: infix "`" has been renamed "$"; the symbol syntax is \<cdot>;
 10051 
 10052 * Isar: 'obtain' no longer declares "that" fact as simp/intro;
 10053 
 10054 * Isar/HOL: method 'induct' now handles non-atomic goals; as a
 10055 consequence, it is no longer monotonic wrt. the local goal context
 10056 (which is now passed through the inductive cases);
 10057 
 10058 * Document preparation: renamed standard symbols \<ll> to \<lless> and
 10059 \<gg> to \<ggreater>;
 10060 
 10061 
 10062 *** Document preparation ***
 10063 
 10064 * \isabellestyle{NAME} selects version of Isabelle output (currently
 10065 available: are "it" for near math-mode best-style output, "sl" for
 10066 slanted text style, and "tt" for plain type-writer; if no
 10067 \isabellestyle command is given, output is according to slanted
 10068 type-writer);
 10069 
 10070 * support sub/super scripts (for single symbols only), input syntax is
 10071 like this: "A\<^sup>*" or "A\<^sup>\<star>";
 10072 
 10073 * some more standard symbols; see Appendix A of the system manual for
 10074 the complete list of symbols defined in isabellesym.sty;
 10075 
 10076 * improved isabelle style files; more abstract symbol implementation
 10077 (should now use \isamath{...} and \isatext{...} in custom symbol
 10078 definitions);
 10079 
 10080 * antiquotation @{goals} and @{subgoals} for output of *dynamic* goals
 10081 state; Note that presentation of goal states does not conform to
 10082 actual human-readable proof documents.  Please do not include goal
 10083 states into document output unless you really know what you are doing!
 10084 
 10085 * proper indentation of antiquoted output with proportional LaTeX
 10086 fonts;
 10087 
 10088 * no_document ML operator temporarily disables LaTeX document
 10089 generation;
 10090 
 10091 * isatool unsymbolize tunes sources for plain ASCII communication;
 10092 
 10093 
 10094 *** Isar ***
 10095 
 10096 * Pure: Isar now suffers initial goal statements to contain unbound
 10097 schematic variables (this does not conform to actual readable proof
 10098 documents, due to unpredictable outcome and non-compositional proof
 10099 checking); users who know what they are doing may use schematic goals
 10100 for Prolog-style synthesis of proven results;
 10101 
 10102 * Pure: assumption method (an implicit finishing) now handles actual
 10103 rules as well;
 10104 
 10105 * Pure: improved 'obtain' --- moved to Pure, insert "that" into
 10106 initial goal, declare "that" only as Pure intro (only for single
 10107 steps); the "that" rule assumption may now be involved in implicit
 10108 finishing, thus ".." becomes a feasible for trivial obtains;
 10109 
 10110 * Pure: default proof step now includes 'intro_classes'; thus trivial
 10111 instance proofs may be performed by "..";
 10112 
 10113 * Pure: ?thesis / ?this / "..." now work for pure meta-level
 10114 statements as well;
 10115 
 10116 * Pure: more robust selection of calculational rules;
 10117 
 10118 * Pure: the builtin notion of 'finished' goal now includes the ==-refl
 10119 rule (as well as the assumption rule);
 10120 
 10121 * Pure: 'thm_deps' command visualizes dependencies of theorems and
 10122 lemmas, using the graph browser tool;
 10123 
 10124 * Pure: predict failure of "show" in interactive mode;
 10125 
 10126 * Pure: 'thms_containing' now takes actual terms as arguments;
 10127 
 10128 * HOL: improved method 'induct' --- now handles non-atomic goals
 10129 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY); tuned error handling;
 10130 
 10131 * HOL: cases and induct rules now provide explicit hints about the
 10132 number of facts to be consumed (0 for "type" and 1 for "set" rules);
 10133 any remaining facts are inserted into the goal verbatim;
 10134 
 10135 * HOL: local contexts (aka cases) may now contain term bindings as
 10136 well; the 'cases' and 'induct' methods new provide a ?case binding for
 10137 the result to be shown in each case;
 10138 
 10139 * HOL: added 'recdef_tc' command;
 10140 
 10141 * isatool convert assists in eliminating legacy ML scripts;
 10142 
 10143 
 10144 *** HOL ***
 10145 
 10146 * HOL/Library: a collection of generic theories to be used together
 10147 with main HOL; the theory loader path already includes this directory
 10148 by default; the following existing theories have been moved here:
 10149 HOL/Induct/Multiset, HOL/Induct/Acc (as Accessible_Part), HOL/While
 10150 (as While_Combinator), HOL/Lex/Prefix (as List_Prefix);
 10151 
 10152 * HOL/Unix: "Some aspects of Unix file-system security", a typical
 10153 modelling and verification task performed in Isabelle/HOL +
 10154 Isabelle/Isar + Isabelle document preparation (by Markus Wenzel).
 10155 
 10156 * HOL/Algebra: special summation operator SUM no longer exists, it has
 10157 been replaced by setsum; infix 'assoc' now has priority 50 (like
 10158 'dvd'); axiom 'one_not_zero' has been moved from axclass 'ring' to
 10159 'domain', this makes the theory consistent with mathematical
 10160 literature;
 10161 
 10162 * HOL basics: added overloaded operations "inverse" and "divide"
 10163 (infix "/"), syntax for generic "abs" operation, generic summation
 10164 operator \<Sum>;
 10165 
 10166 * HOL/typedef: simplified package, provide more useful rules (see also
 10167 HOL/subset.thy);
 10168 
 10169 * HOL/datatype: induction rule for arbitrarily branching datatypes is
 10170 now expressed as a proper nested rule (old-style tactic scripts may
 10171 require atomize_strip_tac to cope with non-atomic premises);
 10172 
 10173 * HOL: renamed theory "Prod" to "Product_Type", renamed "split" rule
 10174 to "split_conv" (old name still available for compatibility);
 10175 
 10176 * HOL: improved concrete syntax for strings (e.g. allows translation
 10177 rules with string literals);
 10178 
 10179 * HOL-Real-Hyperreal: this extends HOL-Real with the hyperreals
 10180  and Fleuriot's mechanization of analysis, including the transcendental
 10181  functions for the reals;
 10182 
 10183 * HOL/Real, HOL/Hyperreal: improved arithmetic simplification;
 10184 
 10185 
 10186 *** CTT ***
 10187 
 10188 * CTT: x-symbol support for Pi, Sigma, -->, : (membership); note that
 10189 "lam" is displayed as TWO lambda-symbols
 10190 
 10191 * CTT: theory Main now available, containing everything (that is, Bool
 10192 and Arith);
 10193 
 10194 
 10195 *** General ***
 10196 
 10197 * Pure: the Simplifier has been implemented properly as a derived rule
 10198 outside of the actual kernel (at last!); the overall performance
 10199 penalty in practical applications is about 50%, while reliability of
 10200 the Isabelle inference kernel has been greatly improved;
 10201 
 10202 * print modes "brackets" and "no_brackets" control output of nested =>
 10203 (types) and ==> (props); the default behaviour is "brackets";
 10204 
 10205 * Provers: fast_tac (and friends) now handle actual object-logic rules
 10206 as assumptions as well;
 10207 
 10208 * system: support Poly/ML 4.0;
 10209 
 10210 * system: isatool install handles KDE version 1 or 2;
 10211 
 10212 
 10213 
 10214 New in Isabelle99-1 (October 2000)
 10215 ----------------------------------
 10216 
 10217 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
 10218 
 10219 * HOL: simplification of natural numbers is much changed; to partly
 10220 recover the old behaviour (e.g. to prevent n+n rewriting to #2*n)
 10221 issue the following ML commands:
 10222 
 10223   Delsimprocs Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.cancel_numerals;
 10224   Delsimprocs [Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.combine_numerals];
 10225 
 10226 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions; this is
 10227 controlled by "t.weak_case_cong" for each datatype t;
 10228 
 10229 * HOL: nat_less_induct renamed to less_induct;
 10230 
 10231 * HOL: systematic renaming of the SOME (Eps) rules, may use isatool
 10232 fixsome to patch .thy and .ML sources automatically;
 10233 
 10234   select_equality  -> some_equality
 10235   select_eq_Ex     -> some_eq_ex
 10236   selectI2EX       -> someI2_ex
 10237   selectI2         -> someI2
 10238   selectI          -> someI
 10239   select1_equality -> some1_equality
 10240   Eps_sym_eq       -> some_sym_eq_trivial
 10241   Eps_eq           -> some_eq_trivial
 10242 
 10243 * HOL: exhaust_tac on datatypes superceded by new generic case_tac;
 10244 
 10245 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem binding expand_if (refer to split_if
 10246 instead);
 10247 
 10248 * HOL: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' are now called
 10249 f.simps instead of f.rules;
 10250 
 10251 * HOL: qed_spec_mp now also handles bounded ALL as well;
 10252 
 10253 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded, so the type constraint ":: nat" may
 10254 sometimes be needed;
 10255 
 10256 * HOL: the constant for "f``x" is now "image" rather than "op ``";
 10257 
 10258 * HOL: the constant for "f-``x" is now "vimage" rather than "op -``";
 10259 
 10260 * HOL: the disjoint sum is now "<+>" instead of "Plus"; the cartesian
 10261 product is now "<*>" instead of "Times"; the lexicographic product is
 10262 now "<*lex*>" instead of "**";
 10263 
 10264 * HOL: theory Sexp is now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part
 10265 of main HOL, but was unused); better use HOL's datatype package;
 10266 
 10267 * HOL: removed "symbols" syntax for constant "override" of theory Map;
 10268 the old syntax may be recovered as follows:
 10269 
 10270   syntax (symbols)
 10271     override  :: "('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b)"
 10272       (infixl "\\<oplus>" 100)
 10273 
 10274 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
 10275 
 10276 * HOL/ML: even fewer consts are declared as global (see theories Ord,
 10277 Lfp, Gfp, WF); this only affects ML packages that refer to const names
 10278 internally;
 10279 
 10280 * HOL and ZF: syntax for quotienting wrt an equivalence relation
 10281 changed from A/r to A//r;
 10282 
 10283 * ZF: new treatment of arithmetic (nat & int) may break some old
 10284 proofs;
 10285 
 10286 * Isar: renamed some attributes (RS -> THEN, simplify -> simplified,
 10287 rulify -> rule_format, elimify -> elim_format, ...);
 10288 
 10289 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
 10290 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (in most cases, one
 10291 should have to change intro!! to intro? only); replaced "delrule" by
 10292 "rule del";
 10293 
 10294 * Isar/HOL: renamed "intrs" to "intros" in inductive definitions;
 10295 
 10296 * Provers: strengthened force_tac by using new first_best_tac;
 10297 
 10298 * LaTeX document preparation: several changes of isabelle.sty (see
 10299 lib/texinputs);
 10300 
 10301 
 10302 *** Document preparation ***
 10303 
 10304 * formal comments (text blocks etc.) in new-style theories may now
 10305 contain antiquotations of thm/prop/term/typ/text to be presented
 10306 according to latex print mode; concrete syntax is like this:
 10307 @{term[show_types] "f(x) = a + x"};
 10308 
 10309 * isatool mkdir provides easy setup of Isabelle session directories,
 10310 including proper document sources;
 10311 
 10312 * generated LaTeX sources are now deleted after successful run
 10313 (isatool document -c); may retain a copy somewhere else via -D option
 10314 of isatool usedir;
 10315 
 10316 * isatool usedir -D now lets isatool latex -o sty update the Isabelle
 10317 style files, achieving self-contained LaTeX sources and simplifying
 10318 LaTeX debugging;
 10319 
 10320 * old-style theories now produce (crude) LaTeX output as well;
 10321 
 10322 * browser info session directories are now self-contained (may be put
 10323 on WWW server seperately); improved graphs of nested sessions; removed
 10324 graph for 'all sessions';
 10325 
 10326 * several improvements in isabelle style files; \isabellestyle{it}
 10327 produces fake math mode output; \isamarkupheader is now \section by
 10328 default; see lib/texinputs/isabelle.sty etc.;
 10329 
 10330 
 10331 *** Isar ***
 10332 
 10333 * Isar/Pure: local results and corresponding term bindings are now
 10334 subject to Hindley-Milner polymorphism (similar to ML); this
 10335 accommodates incremental type-inference very nicely;
 10336 
 10337 * Isar/Pure: new derived language element 'obtain' supports
 10338 generalized existence reasoning;
 10339 
 10340 * Isar/Pure: new calculational elements 'moreover' and 'ultimately'
 10341 support accumulation of results, without applying any rules yet;
 10342 useful to collect intermediate results without explicit name
 10343 references, and for use with transitivity rules with more than 2
 10344 premises;
 10345 
 10346 * Isar/Pure: scalable support for case-analysis type proofs: new
 10347 'case' language element refers to local contexts symbolically, as
 10348 produced by certain proof methods; internally, case names are attached
 10349 to theorems as "tags";
 10350 
 10351 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'hide' removes declarations from
 10352 class/type/const name spaces;
 10353 
 10354 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'defs' supports option "(overloaded)" to
 10355 indicate potential overloading;
 10356 
 10357 * Isar/Pure: changed syntax of local blocks from {{ }} to { };
 10358 
 10359 * Isar/Pure: syntax of sorts made 'inner', i.e. have to write
 10360 "{a,b,c}" instead of {a,b,c};
 10361 
 10362 * Isar/Pure now provides its own version of intro/elim/dest
 10363 attributes; useful for building new logics, but beware of confusion
 10364 with the version in Provers/classical;
 10365 
 10366 * Isar/Pure: the local context of (non-atomic) goals is provided via
 10367 case name 'antecedent';
 10368 
 10369 * Isar/Pure: removed obsolete 'transfer' attribute (transfer of thms
 10370 to the current context is now done automatically);
 10371 
 10372 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'method_setup' provides a simple interface
 10373 for definining proof methods in ML;
 10374 
 10375 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
 10376 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (INCOMPATIBILITY, in
 10377 most cases, one should have to change intro!! to intro? only);
 10378 replaced "delrule" by "rule del";
 10379 
 10380 * Isar/Provers: new 'hypsubst' method, plain 'subst' method and
 10381 'symmetric' attribute (the latter supercedes [RS sym]);
 10382 
 10383 * Isar/Provers: splitter support (via 'split' attribute and 'simp'
 10384 method modifier); 'simp' method: 'only:' modifier removes loopers as
 10385 well (including splits);
 10386 
 10387 * Isar/Provers: Simplifier and Classical methods now support all kind
 10388 of modifiers used in the past, including 'cong', 'iff', etc.
 10389 
 10390 * Isar/Provers: added 'fastsimp' and 'clarsimp' methods (combination
 10391 of Simplifier and Classical reasoner);
 10392 
 10393 * Isar/HOL: new proof method 'cases' and improved version of 'induct'
 10394 now support named cases; major packages (inductive, datatype, primrec,
 10395 recdef) support case names and properly name parameters;
 10396 
 10397 * Isar/HOL: new transitivity rules for substitution in inequalities --
 10398 monotonicity conditions are extracted to be proven at end of
 10399 calculations;
 10400 
 10401 * Isar/HOL: removed 'case_split' thm binding, should use 'cases' proof
 10402 method anyway;
 10403 
 10404 * Isar/HOL: removed old expand_if = split_if; theorems if_splits =
 10405 split_if split_if_asm; datatype package provides theorems foo.splits =
 10406 foo.split foo.split_asm for each datatype;
 10407 
 10408 * Isar/HOL: tuned inductive package, rename "intrs" to "intros"
 10409 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY), emulation of mk_cases feature for proof
 10410 scripts: new 'inductive_cases' command and 'ind_cases' method; (Note:
 10411 use "(cases (simplified))" method in proper proof texts);
 10412 
 10413 * Isar/HOL: added global 'arith_split' attribute for 'arith' method;
 10414 
 10415 * Isar: names of theorems etc. may be natural numbers as well;
 10416 
 10417 * Isar: 'pr' command: optional arguments for goals_limit and
 10418 ProofContext.prems_limit; no longer prints theory contexts, but only
 10419 proof states;
 10420 
 10421 * Isar: diagnostic commands 'pr', 'thm', 'prop', 'term', 'typ' admit
 10422 additional print modes to be specified; e.g. "pr(latex)" will print
 10423 proof state according to the Isabelle LaTeX style;
 10424 
 10425 * Isar: improved support for emulating tactic scripts, including proof
 10426 methods 'rule_tac' etc., 'cut_tac', 'thin_tac', 'subgoal_tac',
 10427 'rename_tac', 'rotate_tac', 'tactic', and 'case_tac' / 'induct_tac'
 10428 (for HOL datatypes);
 10429 
 10430 * Isar: simplified (more robust) goal selection of proof methods: 1st
 10431 goal, all goals, or explicit goal specifier (tactic emulation); thus
 10432 'proof method scripts' have to be in depth-first order;
 10433 
 10434 * Isar: tuned 'let' syntax: replaced 'as' keyword by 'and';
 10435 
 10436 * Isar: removed 'help' command, which hasn't been too helpful anyway;
 10437 should instead use individual commands for printing items
 10438 (print_commands, print_methods etc.);
 10439 
 10440 * Isar: added 'nothing' --- the empty list of theorems;
 10441 
 10442 
 10443 *** HOL ***
 10444 
 10445 * HOL/MicroJava: formalization of a fragment of Java, together with a
 10446 corresponding virtual machine and a specification of its bytecode
 10447 verifier and a lightweight bytecode verifier, including proofs of
 10448 type-safety; by Gerwin Klein, Tobias Nipkow, David von Oheimb, and
 10449 Cornelia Pusch (see also the homepage of project Bali at
 10450 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Bali/);
 10451 
 10452 * HOL/Algebra: new theory of rings and univariate polynomials, by
 10453 Clemens Ballarin;
 10454 
 10455 * HOL/NumberTheory: fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, Chinese
 10456 Remainder Theorem, Fermat/Euler Theorem, Wilson's Theorem, by Thomas M
 10457 Rasmussen;
 10458 
 10459 * HOL/Lattice: fundamental concepts of lattice theory and order
 10460 structures, including duals, properties of bounds versus algebraic
 10461 laws, lattice operations versus set-theoretic ones, the Knaster-Tarski
 10462 Theorem for complete lattices etc.; may also serve as a demonstration
 10463 for abstract algebraic reasoning using axiomatic type classes, and
 10464 mathematics-style proof in Isabelle/Isar; by Markus Wenzel;
 10465 
 10466 * HOL/Prolog: a (bare-bones) implementation of Lambda-Prolog, by David
 10467 von Oheimb;
 10468 
 10469 * HOL/IMPP: extension of IMP with local variables and mutually
 10470 recursive procedures, by David von Oheimb;
 10471 
 10472 * HOL/Lambda: converted into new-style theory and document;
 10473 
 10474 * HOL/ex/Multiquote: example of multiple nested quotations and
 10475 anti-quotations -- basically a generalized version of de-Bruijn
 10476 representation; very useful in avoiding lifting of operations;
 10477 
 10478 * HOL/record: added general record equality rule to simpset; fixed
 10479 select-update simplification procedure to handle extended records as
 10480 well; admit "r" as field name;
 10481 
 10482 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded over the new sort "zero", allowing its use with
 10483 other numeric types and also as the identity of groups, rings, etc.;
 10484 
 10485 * HOL: new axclass plus_ac0 for addition with the AC-laws and 0 as identity.
 10486 Types nat and int belong to this axclass;
 10487 
 10488 * HOL: greatly improved simplification involving numerals of type nat, int, real:
 10489    (i + #8 + j) = Suc k simplifies to  #7 + (i + j) = k
 10490    i*j + k + j*#3*i     simplifies to  #4*(i*j) + k
 10491   two terms #m*u and #n*u are replaced by #(m+n)*u
 10492     (where #m, #n and u can implicitly be 1; this is simproc combine_numerals)
 10493   and the term/formula #m*u+x ~~ #n*u+y simplifies simplifies to #(m-n)+x ~~ y
 10494     or x ~~ #(n-m)+y, where ~~ is one of = < <= or - (simproc cancel_numerals);
 10495 
 10496 * HOL: meson_tac is available (previously in ex/meson.ML); it is a
 10497 powerful prover for predicate logic but knows nothing of clasets; see
 10498 ex/mesontest.ML and ex/mesontest2.ML for example applications;
 10499 
 10500 * HOL: new version of "case_tac" subsumes both boolean case split and
 10501 "exhaust_tac" on datatypes; INCOMPATIBILITY: exhaust_tac no longer
 10502 exists, may define val exhaust_tac = case_tac for ad-hoc portability;
 10503 
 10504 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions: only the
 10505 selector expression is simplified, but not the remaining arms; to
 10506 enable full simplification of case-expressions for datatype t, you may
 10507 remove t.weak_case_cong from the simpset, either globally (Delcongs
 10508 [thm"t.weak_case_cong"];) or locally (delcongs [...]).
 10509 
 10510 * HOL/recdef: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' for
 10511 function 'f' are now called f.simps instead of f.rules; if all
 10512 termination conditions are proved automatically, these simplification
 10513 rules are added to the simpset, as in primrec; rules may be named
 10514 individually as well, resulting in a separate list of theorems for
 10515 each equation;
 10516 
 10517 * HOL/While is a new theory that provides a while-combinator. It
 10518 permits the definition of tail-recursive functions without the
 10519 provision of a termination measure. The latter is necessary once the
 10520 invariant proof rule for while is applied.
 10521 
 10522 * HOL: new (overloaded) notation for the set of elements below/above
 10523 some element: {..u}, {..u(}, {l..}, {)l..}. See theory SetInterval.
 10524 
 10525 * HOL: theorems impI, allI, ballI bound as "strip";
 10526 
 10527 * HOL: new tactic induct_thm_tac: thm -> string -> int -> tactic
 10528 induct_tac th "x1 ... xn" expects th to have a conclusion of the form
 10529 P v1 ... vn and abbreviates res_inst_tac [("v1","x1"),...,("vn","xn")] th;
 10530 
 10531 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
 10532 
 10533 * HOL: theory Sexp now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part of
 10534 main HOL, but was unused);
 10535 
 10536 * HOL: fewer consts declared as global (e.g. have to refer to
 10537 "Lfp.lfp" instead of "lfp" internally; affects ML packages only);
 10538 
 10539 * HOL: tuned AST representation of nested pairs, avoiding bogus output
 10540 in case of overlap with user translations (e.g. judgements over
 10541 tuples); (note that the underlying logical represenation is still
 10542 bogus);
 10543 
 10544 
 10545 *** ZF ***
 10546 
 10547 * ZF: simplification automatically cancels common terms in arithmetic
 10548 expressions over nat and int;
 10549 
 10550 * ZF: new treatment of nat to minimize type-checking: all operators
 10551 coerce their operands to a natural number using the function natify,
 10552 making the algebraic laws unconditional;
 10553 
 10554 * ZF: as above, for int: operators coerce their operands to an integer
 10555 using the function intify;
 10556 
 10557 * ZF: the integer library now contains many of the usual laws for the
 10558 orderings, including $<=, and monotonicity laws for $+ and $*;
 10559 
 10560 * ZF: new example ZF/ex/NatSum to demonstrate integer arithmetic
 10561 simplification;
 10562 
 10563 * FOL and ZF: AddIffs now available, giving theorems of the form P<->Q
 10564 to the simplifier and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 10565 
 10566 
 10567 *** General ***
 10568 
 10569 * Provers: blast_tac now handles actual object-logic rules as
 10570 assumptions; note that auto_tac uses blast_tac internally as well;
 10571 
 10572 * Provers: new functions rulify/rulify_no_asm: thm -> thm for turning
 10573 outer -->/All/Ball into ==>/!!; qed_spec_mp now uses rulify_no_asm;
 10574 
 10575 * Provers: delrules now handles destruct rules as well (no longer need
 10576 explicit make_elim);
 10577 
 10578 * Provers: Blast_tac now warns of and ignores "weak elimination rules" e.g.
 10579   [| inj ?f;          ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
 10580 use instead the strong form,
 10581   [| inj ?f; ~ ?W ==> ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
 10582 in HOL, FOL and ZF the function cla_make_elim will create such rules
 10583 from destruct-rules;
 10584 
 10585 * Provers: Simplifier.easy_setup provides a fast path to basic
 10586 Simplifier setup for new object-logics;
 10587 
 10588 * Pure: AST translation rules no longer require constant head on LHS;
 10589 
 10590 * Pure: improved name spaces: ambiguous output is qualified; support
 10591 for hiding of names;
 10592 
 10593 * system: smart setup of canonical ML_HOME, ISABELLE_INTERFACE, and
 10594 XSYMBOL_HOME; no longer need to do manual configuration in most
 10595 situations;
 10596 
 10597 * system: compression of ML heaps images may now be controlled via -c
 10598 option of isabelle and isatool usedir (currently only observed by
 10599 Poly/ML);
 10600 
 10601 * system: isatool installfonts may handle X-Symbol fonts as well (very
 10602 useful for remote X11);
 10603 
 10604 * system: provide TAGS file for Isabelle sources;
 10605 
 10606 * ML: infix 'OF' is a version of 'MRS' with more appropriate argument
 10607 order;
 10608 
 10609 * ML: renamed flags Syntax.trace_norm_ast to Syntax.trace_ast; global
 10610 timing flag supersedes proof_timing and Toplevel.trace;
 10611 
 10612 * ML: new combinators |>> and |>>> for incremental transformations
 10613 with secondary results (e.g. certain theory extensions):
 10614 
 10615 * ML: PureThy.add_defs gets additional argument to indicate potential
 10616 overloading (usually false);
 10617 
 10618 * ML: PureThy.add_thms/add_axioms/add_defs now return theorems as
 10619 results;
 10620 
 10621 
 10622 
 10623 New in Isabelle99 (October 1999)
 10624 --------------------------------
 10625 
 10626 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 10627 
 10628 * HOL: The THEN and ELSE parts of conditional expressions (if P then x else y)
 10629 are no longer simplified.  (This allows the simplifier to unfold recursive
 10630 functional programs.)  To restore the old behaviour, declare
 10631 
 10632     Delcongs [if_weak_cong];
 10633 
 10634 * HOL: Removed the obsolete syntax "Compl A"; use -A for set
 10635 complement;
 10636 
 10637 * HOL: the predicate "inj" is now defined by translation to "inj_on";
 10638 
 10639 * HOL/datatype: mutual_induct_tac no longer exists --
 10640   use induct_tac "x_1 ... x_n" instead of mutual_induct_tac ["x_1", ..., "x_n"]
 10641 
 10642 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
 10643 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
 10644 
 10645 * ZF: The con_defs part of an inductive definition may no longer refer
 10646 to constants declared in the same theory;
 10647 
 10648 * HOL, ZF: the function mk_cases, generated by the inductive
 10649 definition package, has lost an argument.  To simplify its result, it
 10650 uses the default simpset instead of a supplied list of theorems.
 10651 
 10652 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
 10653 
 10654 * Simplifier: the type of the infix ML functions
 10655         setSSolver addSSolver setSolver addSolver
 10656 is now  simpset * solver -> simpset  where `solver' is a new abstract type
 10657 for packaging solvers. A solver is created via
 10658         mk_solver: string -> (thm list -> int -> tactic) -> solver
 10659 where the string argument is only a comment.
 10660 
 10661 
 10662 *** Proof tools ***
 10663 
 10664 * Provers/Arith/fast_lin_arith.ML contains a functor for creating a
 10665 decision procedure for linear arithmetic. Currently it is used for
 10666 types `nat', `int', and `real' in HOL (see below); it can, should and
 10667 will be instantiated for other types and logics as well.
 10668 
 10669 * The simplifier now accepts rewrite rules with flexible heads, eg
 10670      hom ?f ==> ?f(?x+?y) = ?f ?x + ?f ?y
 10671   They are applied like any rule with a non-pattern lhs, i.e. by first-order
 10672   matching.
 10673 
 10674 
 10675 *** General ***
 10676 
 10677 * New Isabelle/Isar subsystem provides an alternative to traditional
 10678 tactical theorem proving; together with the ProofGeneral/isar user
 10679 interface it offers an interactive environment for developing human
 10680 readable proof documents (Isar == Intelligible semi-automated
 10681 reasoning); for further information see isatool doc isar-ref,
 10682 src/HOL/Isar_examples and http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Isar/
 10683 
 10684 * improved and simplified presentation of theories: better HTML markup
 10685 (including colors), graph views in several sizes; isatool usedir now
 10686 provides a proper interface for user theories (via -P option); actual
 10687 document preparation based on (PDF)LaTeX is available as well (for
 10688 new-style theories only); see isatool doc system for more information;
 10689 
 10690 * native support for Proof General, both for classic Isabelle and
 10691 Isabelle/Isar;
 10692 
 10693 * ML function thm_deps visualizes dependencies of theorems and lemmas,
 10694 using the graph browser tool;
 10695 
 10696 * Isabelle manuals now also available as PDF;
 10697 
 10698 * theory loader rewritten from scratch (may not be fully
 10699 bug-compatible); old loadpath variable has been replaced by show_path,
 10700 add_path, del_path, reset_path functions; new operations such as
 10701 update_thy, touch_thy, remove_thy, use/update_thy_only (see also
 10702 isatool doc ref);
 10703 
 10704 * improved isatool install: option -k creates KDE application icon,
 10705 option -p DIR installs standalone binaries;
 10706 
 10707 * added ML_PLATFORM setting (useful for cross-platform installations);
 10708 more robust handling of platform specific ML images for SML/NJ;
 10709 
 10710 * the settings environment is now statically scoped, i.e. it is never
 10711 created again in sub-processes invoked from isabelle, isatool, or
 10712 Isabelle;
 10713 
 10714 * path element specification '~~' refers to '$ISABELLE_HOME';
 10715 
 10716 * in locales, the "assumes" and "defines" parts may be omitted if
 10717 empty;
 10718 
 10719 * new print_mode "xsymbols" for extended symbol support (e.g. genuine
 10720 long arrows);
 10721 
 10722 * new print_mode "HTML";
 10723 
 10724 * new flag show_tags controls display of tags of theorems (which are
 10725 basically just comments that may be attached by some tools);
 10726 
 10727 * Isamode 2.6 requires patch to accomodate change of Isabelle font
 10728 mode and goal output format:
 10729 
 10730 diff -r Isamode-2.6/elisp/isa-load.el Isamode/elisp/isa-load.el
 10731 244c244
 10732 <       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-msymbols" logic-name)
 10733 ---
 10734 >       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-misabelle_font" "-msymbols" logic-name)
 10735 diff -r Isabelle-2.6/elisp/isa-proofstate.el Isamode/elisp/isa-proofstate.el
 10736 181c181
 10737 < (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+$"
 10738 ---
 10739 > (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+"
 10740 
 10741 * function bind_thms stores lists of theorems (cf. bind_thm);
 10742 
 10743 * new shorthand tactics ftac, eatac, datac, fatac;
 10744 
 10745 * qed (and friends) now accept "" as result name; in that case the
 10746 theorem is not stored, but proper checks and presentation of the
 10747 result still apply;
 10748 
 10749 * theorem database now also indexes constants "Trueprop", "all",
 10750 "==>", "=="; thus thms_containing, findI etc. may retrieve more rules;
 10751 
 10752 
 10753 *** HOL ***
 10754 
 10755 ** HOL arithmetic **
 10756 
 10757 * There are now decision procedures for linear arithmetic over nat and
 10758 int:
 10759 
 10760 1. arith_tac copes with arbitrary formulae involving `=', `<', `<=',
 10761 `+', `-', `Suc', `min', `max' and numerical constants; other subterms
 10762 are treated as atomic; subformulae not involving type `nat' or `int'
 10763 are ignored; quantified subformulae are ignored unless they are
 10764 positive universal or negative existential. The tactic has to be
 10765 invoked by hand and can be a little bit slow. In particular, the
 10766 running time is exponential in the number of occurrences of `min' and
 10767 `max', and `-' on `nat'.
 10768 
 10769 2. fast_arith_tac is a cut-down version of arith_tac: it only takes
 10770 (negated) (in)equalities among the premises and the conclusion into
 10771 account (i.e. no compound formulae) and does not know about `min' and
 10772 `max', and `-' on `nat'. It is fast and is used automatically by the
 10773 simplifier.
 10774 
 10775 NB: At the moment, these decision procedures do not cope with mixed
 10776 nat/int formulae where the two parts interact, such as `m < n ==>
 10777 int(m) < int(n)'.
 10778 
 10779 * HOL/Numeral provides a generic theory of numerals (encoded
 10780 efficiently as bit strings); setup for types nat/int/real is in place;
 10781 INCOMPATIBILITY: since numeral syntax is now polymorphic, rather than
 10782 int, existing theories and proof scripts may require a few additional
 10783 type constraints;
 10784 
 10785 * integer division and remainder can now be performed on constant
 10786 arguments;
 10787 
 10788 * many properties of integer multiplication, division and remainder
 10789 are now available;
 10790 
 10791 * An interface to the Stanford Validity Checker (SVC) is available through the
 10792 tactic svc_tac.  Propositional tautologies and theorems of linear arithmetic
 10793 are proved automatically.  SVC must be installed separately, and its results
 10794 must be TAKEN ON TRUST (Isabelle does not check the proofs, but tags any
 10795 invocation of the underlying oracle).  For SVC see
 10796   http://verify.stanford.edu/SVC
 10797 
 10798 * IsaMakefile: the HOL-Real target now builds an actual image;
 10799 
 10800 
 10801 ** HOL misc **
 10802 
 10803 * HOL/Real/HahnBanach: the Hahn-Banach theorem for real vector spaces
 10804 (in Isabelle/Isar) -- by Gertrud Bauer;
 10805 
 10806 * HOL/BCV: generic model of bytecode verification, i.e. data-flow
 10807 analysis for assembly languages with subtypes;
 10808 
 10809 * HOL/TLA (Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions): major reorganization
 10810 -- avoids syntactic ambiguities and treats state, transition, and
 10811 temporal levels more uniformly; introduces INCOMPATIBILITIES due to
 10812 changed syntax and (many) tactics;
 10813 
 10814 * HOL/inductive: Now also handles more general introduction rules such
 10815   as "ALL y. (y, x) : r --> y : acc r ==> x : acc r"; monotonicity
 10816   theorems are now maintained within the theory (maintained via the
 10817   "mono" attribute);
 10818 
 10819 * HOL/datatype: Now also handles arbitrarily branching datatypes
 10820   (using function types) such as
 10821 
 10822   datatype 'a tree = Atom 'a | Branch "nat => 'a tree"
 10823 
 10824 * HOL/record: record_simproc (part of the default simpset) takes care
 10825 of selectors applied to updated records; record_split_tac is no longer
 10826 part of the default claset; update_defs may now be removed from the
 10827 simpset in many cases; COMPATIBILITY: old behavior achieved by
 10828 
 10829   claset_ref () := claset() addSWrapper record_split_wrapper;
 10830   Delsimprocs [record_simproc]
 10831 
 10832 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
 10833 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
 10834 
 10835 * HOL/recdef (TFL): 'congs' syntax now expects comma separated list of theorem
 10836 names rather than an ML expression;
 10837 
 10838 * HOL/defer_recdef (TFL): like recdef but the well-founded relation can be
 10839 supplied later.  Program schemes can be defined, such as
 10840     "While B C s = (if B s then While B C (C s) else s)"
 10841 where the well-founded relation can be chosen after B and C have been given.
 10842 
 10843 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
 10844 INCOMPATIBILITY: while [] and infix # syntax is still there, of
 10845 course, ML tools referring to List.list.op # etc. have to be adapted;
 10846 
 10847 * HOL_quantifiers flag superseded by "HOL" print mode, which is
 10848 disabled by default; run isabelle with option -m HOL to get back to
 10849 the original Gordon/HOL-style output;
 10850 
 10851 * HOL/Ord.thy: new bounded quantifier syntax (input only): ALL x<y. P,
 10852 ALL x<=y. P, EX x<y. P, EX x<=y. P;
 10853 
 10854 * HOL basic syntax simplified (more orthogonal): all variants of
 10855 All/Ex now support plain / symbolic / HOL notation; plain syntax for
 10856 Eps operator is provided as well: "SOME x. P[x]";
 10857 
 10858 * HOL/Sum.thy: sum_case has been moved to HOL/Datatype;
 10859 
 10860 * HOL/Univ.thy: infix syntax <*>, <+>, <**>, <+> eliminated and made
 10861 thus available for user theories;
 10862 
 10863 * HOLCF/IOA/Sequents: renamed 'Cons' to 'Consq' to avoid clash with
 10864 HOL/List; hardly an INCOMPATIBILITY since '>>' syntax is used all the
 10865 time;
 10866 
 10867 * HOL: new tactic smp_tac: int -> int -> tactic, which applies spec
 10868 several times and then mp;
 10869

 10872 
 10873 * the notation <<...>> is now available as a notation for sequences of
 10874 formulas;
 10875 
 10876 * the simplifier is now installed
 10877 
 10878 * the axiom system has been generalized (thanks to Soren Heilmann)
 10879 
 10880 * the classical reasoner now has a default rule database
 10881 
 10882 
 10883 *** ZF ***
 10884 
 10885 * new primrec section allows primitive recursive functions to be given
 10886 directly (as in HOL) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
 10887 
 10888 * new tactics induct_tac and exhaust_tac for induction (or case
 10889 analysis) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
 10890 
 10891 * the datatype declaration of type T now defines the recursor T_rec;
 10892 
 10893 * simplification automatically does freeness reasoning for datatype
 10894 constructors;
 10895 
 10896 * automatic type-inference, with AddTCs command to insert new
 10897 type-checking rules;
 10898 
 10899 * datatype introduction rules are now added as Safe Introduction rules
 10900 to the claset;
 10901 
 10902 * the syntax "if P then x else y" is now available in addition to
 10903 if(P,x,y);
 10904 
 10905 
 10906 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
 10907 
 10908 * tuned simplifier trace output; new flag debug_simp;
 10909 
 10910 * structures Vartab / Termtab (instances of TableFun) offer efficient
 10911 tables indexed by indexname_ord / term_ord (compatible with aconv);
 10912 
 10913 * AxClass.axclass_tac lost the theory argument;
 10914 
 10915 * tuned current_goals_markers semantics: begin / end goal avoids
 10916 printing empty lines;
 10917 
 10918 * removed prs and prs_fn hook, which was broken because it did not
 10919 include \n in its semantics, forcing writeln to add one
 10920 uncoditionally; replaced prs_fn by writeln_fn; consider std_output:
 10921 string -> unit if you really want to output text without newline;
 10922 
 10923 * Symbol.output subject to print mode; INCOMPATIBILITY: defaults to
 10924 plain output, interface builders may have to enable 'isabelle_font'
 10925 mode to get Isabelle font glyphs as before;
 10926 
 10927 * refined token_translation interface; INCOMPATIBILITY: output length
 10928 now of type real instead of int;
 10929 
 10930 * theory loader actions may be traced via new ThyInfo.add_hook
 10931 interface (see src/Pure/Thy/thy_info.ML); example application: keep
 10932 your own database of information attached to *whole* theories -- as
 10933 opposed to intra-theory data slots offered via TheoryDataFun;
 10934 
 10935 * proper handling of dangling sort hypotheses (at last!);
 10936 Thm.strip_shyps and Drule.strip_shyps_warning take care of removing
 10937 extra sort hypotheses that can be witnessed from the type signature;
 10938 the force_strip_shyps flag is gone, any remaining shyps are simply
 10939 left in the theorem (with a warning issued by strip_shyps_warning);
 10940 
 10941 
 10942 
 10943 New in Isabelle98-1 (October 1998)
 10944 ----------------------------------
 10945 
 10946 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 10947 
 10948 * several changes of automated proof tools;
 10949 
 10950 * HOL: major changes to the inductive and datatype packages, including
 10951 some minor incompatibilities of theory syntax;
 10952 
 10953 * HOL: renamed r^-1 to 'converse' from 'inverse'; 'inj_onto' is now
 10954 called `inj_on';
 10955 
 10956 * HOL: removed duplicate thms in Arith:
 10957   less_imp_add_less  should be replaced by  trans_less_add1
 10958   le_imp_add_le      should be replaced by  trans_le_add1
 10959 
 10960 * HOL: unary minus is now overloaded (new type constraints may be
 10961 required);
 10962 
 10963 * HOL and ZF: unary minus for integers is now #- instead of #~.  In
 10964 ZF, expressions such as n#-1 must be changed to n#- 1, since #-1 is
 10965 now taken as an integer constant.
 10966 
 10967 * Pure: ML function 'theory_of' renamed to 'theory';
 10968 
 10969 
 10970 *** Proof tools ***
 10971 
 10972 * Simplifier:
 10973   1. Asm_full_simp_tac is now more aggressive.
 10974      1. It will sometimes reorient premises if that increases their power to
 10975         simplify.
 10976      2. It does no longer proceed strictly from left to right but may also
 10977         rotate premises to achieve further simplification.
 10978      For compatibility reasons there is now Asm_lr_simp_tac which is like the
 10979      old Asm_full_simp_tac in that it does not rotate premises.
 10980   2. The simplifier now knows a little bit about nat-arithmetic.
 10981 
 10982 * Classical reasoner: wrapper mechanism for the classical reasoner now
 10983 allows for selected deletion of wrappers, by introduction of names for
 10984 wrapper functionals.  This implies that addbefore, addSbefore,
 10985 addaltern, and addSaltern now take a pair (name, tactic) as argument,
 10986 and that adding two tactics with the same name overwrites the first
 10987 one (emitting a warning).
 10988   type wrapper = (int -> tactic) -> (int -> tactic)
 10989   setWrapper, setSWrapper, compWrapper and compSWrapper are replaced by
 10990   addWrapper, addSWrapper: claset * (string * wrapper) -> claset
 10991   delWrapper, delSWrapper: claset *  string            -> claset
 10992   getWrapper is renamed to appWrappers, getSWrapper to appSWrappers;
 10993 
 10994 * Classical reasoner: addbefore/addSbefore now have APPEND/ORELSE
 10995 semantics; addbefore now affects only the unsafe part of step_tac
 10996 etc.; this affects addss/auto_tac/force_tac, so EXISTING PROOFS MAY
 10997 FAIL, but proofs should be fixable easily, e.g. by replacing Auto_tac
 10998 by Force_tac;
 10999 
 11000 * Classical reasoner: setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to
 11001 compWrapper; added safe wrapper (and access functions for it);
 11002 
 11003 * HOL/split_all_tac is now much faster and fails if there is nothing
 11004 to split.  Some EXISTING PROOFS MAY REQUIRE ADAPTION because the order
 11005 and the names of the automatically generated variables have changed.
 11006 split_all_tac has moved within claset() from unsafe wrappers to safe
 11007 wrappers, which means that !!-bound variables are split much more
 11008 aggressively, and safe_tac and clarify_tac now split such variables.
 11009 If this splitting is not appropriate, use delSWrapper "split_all_tac".
 11010 Note: the same holds for record_split_tac, which does the job of
 11011 split_all_tac for record fields.
 11012 
 11013 * HOL/Simplifier: Rewrite rules for case distinctions can now be added
 11014 permanently to the default simpset using Addsplits just like
 11015 Addsimps. They can be removed via Delsplits just like
 11016 Delsimps. Lower-case versions are also available.
 11017 
 11018 * HOL/Simplifier: The rule split_if is now part of the default
 11019 simpset. This means that the simplifier will eliminate all occurrences
 11020 of if-then-else in the conclusion of a goal. To prevent this, you can
 11021 either remove split_if completely from the default simpset by
 11022 `Delsplits [split_if]' or remove it in a specific call of the
 11023 simplifier using `... delsplits [split_if]'.  You can also add/delete
 11024 other case splitting rules to/from the default simpset: every datatype
 11025 generates suitable rules `split_t_case' and `split_t_case_asm' (where
 11026 t is the name of the datatype).
 11027 
 11028 * Classical reasoner / Simplifier combination: new force_tac (and
 11029 derivatives Force_tac, force) combines rewriting and classical
 11030 reasoning (and whatever other tools) similarly to auto_tac, but is
 11031 aimed to solve the given subgoal completely.
 11032 
 11033 
 11034 *** General ***
 11035 
 11036 * new top-level commands `Goal' and `Goalw' that improve upon `goal'
 11037 and `goalw': the theory is no longer needed as an explicit argument -
 11038 the current theory context is used; assumptions are no longer returned
 11039 at the ML-level unless one of them starts with ==> or !!; it is
 11040 recommended to convert to these new commands using isatool fixgoal
 11041 (backup your sources first!);
 11042 
 11043 * new top-level commands 'thm' and 'thms' for retrieving theorems from
 11044 the current theory context, and 'theory' to lookup stored theories;
 11045 
 11046 * new theory section 'locale' for declaring constants, assumptions and
 11047 definitions that have local scope;
 11048 
 11049 * new theory section 'nonterminals' for purely syntactic types;
 11050 
 11051 * new theory section 'setup' for generic ML setup functions
 11052 (e.g. package initialization);
 11053 
 11054 * the distribution now includes Isabelle icons: see
 11055 lib/logo/isabelle-{small,tiny}.xpm;
 11056 
 11057 * isatool install - install binaries with absolute references to
 11058 ISABELLE_HOME/bin;
 11059 
 11060 * isatool logo -- create instances of the Isabelle logo (as EPS);
 11061 
 11062 * print mode 'emacs' reserved for Isamode;
 11063 
 11064 * support multiple print (ast) translations per constant name;
 11065 
 11066 * theorems involving oracles are now printed with a suffixed [!];
 11067 
 11068 
 11069 *** HOL ***
 11070 
 11071 * there is now a tutorial on Isabelle/HOL (do 'isatool doc tutorial');
 11072 
 11073 * HOL/inductive package reorganized and improved: now supports mutual
 11074 definitions such as
 11075 
 11076   inductive EVEN ODD
 11077     intrs
 11078       null "0 : EVEN"
 11079       oddI "n : EVEN ==> Suc n : ODD"
 11080       evenI "n : ODD ==> Suc n : EVEN"
 11081 
 11082 new theorem list "elims" contains an elimination rule for each of the
 11083 recursive sets; inductive definitions now handle disjunctive premises
 11084 correctly (also ZF);
 11085 
 11086 INCOMPATIBILITIES: requires Inductive as an ancestor; component
 11087 "mutual_induct" no longer exists - the induction rule is always
 11088 contained in "induct";
 11089 
 11090 
 11091 * HOL/datatype package re-implemented and greatly improved: now
 11092 supports mutually recursive datatypes such as
 11093 
 11094   datatype
 11095     'a aexp = IF_THEN_ELSE ('a bexp) ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 11096             | SUM ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 11097             | DIFF ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 11098             | NUM 'a
 11099   and
 11100     'a bexp = LESS ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 11101             | AND ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
 11102             | OR ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
 11103 
 11104 as well as indirectly recursive datatypes such as
 11105 
 11106   datatype
 11107     ('a, 'b) term = Var 'a
 11108                   | App 'b ((('a, 'b) term) list)
 11109 
 11110 The new tactic  mutual_induct_tac [<var_1>, ..., <var_n>] i  performs
 11111 induction on mutually / indirectly recursive datatypes.
 11112 
 11113 Primrec equations are now stored in theory and can be accessed via
 11114 <function_name>.simps.
 11115 
 11116 INCOMPATIBILITIES:
 11117 
 11118   - Theories using datatypes must now have theory Datatype as an
 11119     ancestor.
 11120   - The specific <typename>.induct_tac no longer exists - use the
 11121     generic induct_tac instead.
 11122   - natE has been renamed to nat.exhaust - use exhaust_tac
 11123     instead of res_inst_tac ... natE. Note that the variable
 11124     names in nat.exhaust differ from the names in natE, this
 11125     may cause some "fragile" proofs to fail.
 11126   - The theorems split_<typename>_case and split_<typename>_case_asm
 11127     have been renamed to <typename>.split and <typename>.split_asm.
 11128   - Since default sorts of type variables are now handled correctly,
 11129     some datatype definitions may have to be annotated with explicit
 11130     sort constraints.
 11131   - Primrec definitions no longer require function name and type
 11132     of recursive argument.
 11133 
 11134 Consider using isatool fixdatatype to adapt your theories and proof
 11135 scripts to the new package (backup your sources first!).
 11136 
 11137 
 11138 * HOL/record package: considerably improved implementation; now
 11139 includes concrete syntax for record types, terms, updates; theorems
 11140 for surjective pairing and splitting !!-bound record variables; proof
 11141 support is as follows:
 11142 
 11143   1) standard conversions (selectors or updates applied to record
 11144 constructor terms) are part of the standard simpset;
 11145 
 11146   2) inject equations of the form ((x, y) = (x', y')) == x=x' & y=y' are
 11147 made part of standard simpset and claset via addIffs;
 11148 
 11149   3) a tactic for record field splitting (record_split_tac) is part of
 11150 the standard claset (addSWrapper);
 11151 
 11152 To get a better idea about these rules you may retrieve them via
 11153 something like 'thms "foo.simps"' or 'thms "foo.iffs"', where "foo" is
 11154 the name of your record type.
 11155 
 11156 The split tactic 3) conceptually simplifies by the following rule:
 11157 
 11158   "(!!x. PROP ?P x) == (!!a b. PROP ?P (a, b))"
 11159 
 11160 Thus any record variable that is bound by meta-all will automatically
 11161 blow up into some record constructor term, consequently the
 11162 simplifications of 1), 2) apply.  Thus force_tac, auto_tac etc. shall
 11163 solve record problems automatically.
 11164 
 11165 
 11166 * reorganized the main HOL image: HOL/Integ and String loaded by
 11167 default; theory Main includes everything;
 11168 
 11169 * automatic simplification of integer sums and comparisons, using cancellation;
 11170 
 11171 * added option_map_eq_Some and not_Some_eq to the default simpset and claset;
 11172 
 11173 * added disj_not1 = "(~P | Q) = (P --> Q)" to the default simpset;
 11174 
 11175 * many new identities for unions, intersections, set difference, etc.;
 11176 
 11177 * expand_if, expand_split, expand_sum_case and expand_nat_case are now
 11178 called split_if, split_split, split_sum_case and split_nat_case (to go
 11179 with add/delsplits);
 11180 
 11181 * HOL/Prod introduces simplification procedure unit_eq_proc rewriting
 11182 (?x::unit) = (); this is made part of the default simpset, which COULD
 11183 MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL under rare circumstances (consider
 11184 'Delsimprocs [unit_eq_proc];' as last resort); also note that
 11185 unit_abs_eta_conv is added in order to counter the effect of
 11186 unit_eq_proc on (%u::unit. f u), replacing it by f rather than by
 11187 %u.f();
 11188 
 11189 * HOL/Fun INCOMPATIBILITY: `inj_onto' is now called `inj_on' (which
 11190 makes more sense);
 11191 
 11192 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 11193   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 11194   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 11195 
 11196 * HOL/Relation INCOMPATIBILITY: renamed the relational operator r^-1
 11197 to 'converse' from 'inverse' (for compatibility with ZF and some
 11198 literature);
 11199 
 11200 * HOL/recdef can now declare non-recursive functions, with {} supplied as
 11201 the well-founded relation;
 11202 
 11203 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: the complement of set A is now written -A instead of
 11204     Compl A.  The "Compl" syntax remains available as input syntax for this
 11205     release ONLY.
 11206 
 11207 * HOL/Update: new theory of function updates:
 11208     f(a:=b) == %x. if x=a then b else f x
 11209 may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 11210 
 11211 * HOL/Vimage: new theory for inverse image of a function, syntax f-``B;
 11212 
 11213 * HOL/List:
 11214   - new function list_update written xs[i:=v] that updates the i-th
 11215     list position. May also be iterated as in xs[i:=a,j:=b,...].
 11216   - new function `upt' written [i..j(] which generates the list
 11217     [i,i+1,...,j-1], i.e. the upper bound is excluded. To include the upper
 11218     bound write [i..j], which is a shorthand for [i..j+1(].
 11219   - new lexicographic orderings and corresponding wellfoundedness theorems.
 11220 
 11221 * HOL/Arith:
 11222   - removed 'pred' (predecessor) function;
 11223   - generalized some theorems about n-1;
 11224   - many new laws about "div" and "mod";
 11225   - new laws about greatest common divisors (see theory ex/Primes);
 11226 
 11227 * HOL/Relation: renamed the relational operator r^-1 "converse"
 11228 instead of "inverse";
 11229 
 11230 * HOL/Induct/Multiset: a theory of multisets, including the wellfoundedness
 11231   of the multiset ordering;
 11232 
 11233 * directory HOL/Real: a construction of the reals using Dedekind cuts
 11234   (not included by default);
 11235 
 11236 * directory HOL/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY formalism;
 11237 
 11238 * directory HOL/Hoare: a new version of Hoare logic which permits many-sorted
 11239   programs, i.e. different program variables may have different types.
 11240 
 11241 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 11242   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 11243   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 11244 
 11245 
 11246 *** ZF ***
 11247 
 11248 * theory Main includes everything; INCOMPATIBILITY: theory ZF.thy contains
 11249   only the theorems proved on ZF.ML;
 11250 
 11251 * ZF INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 11252   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 11253   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 11254 
 11255 * ZF/Update: new theory of function updates
 11256     with default rewrite rule  f(x:=y) ` z = if(z=x, y, f`z)
 11257   may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 11258 
 11259 * in  let x=t in u(x), neither t nor u(x) has to be an FOL term.
 11260 
 11261 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 11262   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 11263   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 11264 
 11265 * case_tac provided for compatibility with HOL
 11266     (like the old excluded_middle_tac, but with subgoals swapped)
 11267 
 11268 
 11269 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
 11270 
 11271 * Pure: several new basic modules made available for general use, see
 11272 also src/Pure/README;
 11273 
 11274 * improved the theory data mechanism to support encapsulation (data
 11275 kind name replaced by private Object.kind, acting as authorization
 11276 key); new type-safe user interface via functor TheoryDataFun; generic
 11277 print_data function becomes basically useless;
 11278 
 11279 * removed global_names compatibility flag -- all theory declarations
 11280 are qualified by default;
 11281 
 11282 * module Pure/Syntax now offers quote / antiquote translation
 11283 functions (useful for Hoare logic etc. with implicit dependencies);
 11284 see HOL/ex/Antiquote for an example use;
 11285 
 11286 * Simplifier now offers conversions (asm_)(full_)rewrite: simpset ->
 11287 cterm -> thm;
 11288 
 11289 * new tactical CHANGED_GOAL for checking that a tactic modifies a
 11290 subgoal;
 11291 
 11292 * Display.print_goals function moved to Locale.print_goals;
 11293 
 11294 * standard print function for goals supports current_goals_markers
 11295 variable for marking begin of proof, end of proof, start of goal; the
 11296 default is ("", "", ""); setting current_goals_markers := ("<proof>",
 11297 "</proof>", "<goal>") causes SGML like tagged proof state printing,
 11298 for example;
 11299 
 11300 
 11301 
 11302 New in Isabelle98 (January 1998)
 11303 --------------------------------
 11304 
 11305 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 11306 
 11307 * changed lexical syntax of terms / types: dots made part of long
 11308 identifiers, e.g. "%x.x" no longer possible, should be "%x. x";
 11309 
 11310 * simpset (and claset) reference variable replaced by functions
 11311 simpset / simpset_ref;
 11312 
 11313 * no longer supports theory aliases (via merge) and non-trivial
 11314 implicit merge of thms' signatures;
 11315 
 11316 * most internal names of constants changed due to qualified names;
 11317 
 11318 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML);
 11319 
 11320 
 11321 *** General Changes ***
 11322 
 11323 * hierachically structured name spaces (for consts, types, axms, thms
 11324 etc.); new lexical class 'longid' (e.g. Foo.bar.x) may render much of
 11325 old input syntactically incorrect (e.g. "%x.x"); COMPATIBILITY:
 11326 isatool fixdots ensures space after dots (e.g. "%x. x"); set
 11327 long_names for fully qualified output names; NOTE: ML programs
 11328 (special tactics, packages etc.) referring to internal names may have
 11329 to be adapted to cope with fully qualified names; in case of severe
 11330 backward campatibility problems try setting 'global_names' at compile
 11331 time to have enrything declared within a flat name space; one may also
 11332 fine tune name declarations in theories via the 'global' and 'local'
 11333 section;
 11334 
 11335 * reimplemented the implicit simpset and claset using the new anytype
 11336 data filed in signatures; references simpset:simpset ref etc. are
 11337 replaced by functions simpset:unit->simpset and
 11338 simpset_ref:unit->simpset ref; COMPATIBILITY: use isatool fixclasimp
 11339 to patch your ML files accordingly;
 11340 
 11341 * HTML output now includes theory graph data for display with Java
 11342 applet or isatool browser; data generated automatically via isatool
 11343 usedir (see -i option, ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS);
 11344 
 11345 * defs may now be conditional; improved rewrite_goals_tac to handle
 11346 conditional equations;
 11347 
 11348 * defs now admits additional type arguments, using TYPE('a) syntax;
 11349 
 11350 * theory aliases via merge (e.g. M=A+B+C) no longer supported, always
 11351 creates a new theory node; implicit merge of thms' signatures is
 11352 restricted to 'trivial' ones; COMPATIBILITY: one may have to use
 11353 transfer:theory->thm->thm in (rare) cases;
 11354 
 11355 * improved handling of draft signatures / theories; draft thms (and
 11356 ctyps, cterms) are automatically promoted to real ones;
 11357 
 11358 * slightly changed interfaces for oracles: admit many per theory, named
 11359 (e.g. oracle foo = mlfun), additional name argument for invoke_oracle;
 11360 
 11361 * print_goals: optional output of const types (set show_consts and
 11362 show_types);
 11363 
 11364 * improved output of warnings (###) and errors (***);
 11365 
 11366 * subgoal_tac displays a warning if the new subgoal has type variables;
 11367 
 11368 * removed old README and Makefiles;
 11369 
 11370 * replaced print_goals_ref hook by print_current_goals_fn and result_error_fn;
 11371 
 11372 * removed obsolete init_pps and init_database;
 11373 
 11374 * deleted the obsolete tactical STATE, which was declared by
 11375     fun STATE tacfun st = tacfun st st;
 11376 
 11377 * cd and use now support path variables, e.g. $ISABELLE_HOME, or ~
 11378 (which abbreviates $HOME);
 11379 
 11380 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML); COMPATIBILITY:
 11381 use isatool fixseq to adapt your ML programs (this works for fully
 11382 qualified references to the Sequence structure only!);
 11383 
 11384 * use_thy no longer requires writable current directory; it always
 11385 reloads .ML *and* .thy file, if either one is out of date;
 11386 
 11387 
 11388 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 11389 
 11390 * Clarify_tac, clarify_tac, clarify_step_tac, Clarify_step_tac: new
 11391 tactics that use classical reasoning to simplify a subgoal without
 11392 splitting it into several subgoals;
 11393 
 11394 * Safe_tac: like safe_tac but uses the default claset;
 11395 
 11396 
 11397 *** Simplifier ***
 11398 
 11399 * added simplification meta rules:
 11400     (asm_)(full_)simplify: simpset -> thm -> thm;
 11401 
 11402 * simplifier.ML no longer part of Pure -- has to be loaded by object
 11403 logics (again);
 11404 
 11405 * added prems argument to simplification procedures;
 11406 
 11407 * HOL, FOL, ZF: added infix function `addsplits':
 11408   instead of `<simpset> setloop (split_tac <thms>)'
 11409   you can simply write `<simpset> addsplits <thms>'
 11410 
 11411 
 11412 *** Syntax ***
 11413 
 11414 * TYPE('a) syntax for type reflection terms;
 11415 
 11416 * no longer handles consts with name "" -- declare as 'syntax' instead;
 11417 
 11418 * pretty printer: changed order of mixfix annotation preference (again!);
 11419 
 11420 * Pure: fixed idt/idts vs. pttrn/pttrns syntactic categories;
 11421 
 11422 
 11423 *** HOL ***
 11424 
 11425 * HOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 11426   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 11427 
 11428 * HOL/TLA: Stephan Merz's formalization of Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions;
 11429 
 11430 * HOL/Auth: new protocol proofs including some for the Internet
 11431   protocol TLS;
 11432 
 11433 * HOL/Map: new theory of `maps' a la VDM;
 11434 
 11435 * HOL/simplifier: simplification procedures nat_cancel_sums for
 11436 cancelling out common nat summands from =, <, <= (in)equalities, or
 11437 differences; simplification procedures nat_cancel_factor for
 11438 cancelling common factor from =, <, <= (in)equalities over natural
 11439 sums; nat_cancel contains both kinds of procedures, it is installed by
 11440 default in Arith.thy -- this COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL;
 11441 
 11442 * HOL/simplifier: terms of the form
 11443   `? x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x)'  (or t=x)
 11444   are rewritten to
 11445   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t)',
 11446   and those of the form
 11447   `! x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x) --> R(x)'  (or t=x)
 11448   are rewritten to
 11449   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t) --> R(t)',
 11450 
 11451 * HOL/datatype
 11452   Each datatype `t' now comes with a theorem `split_t_case' of the form
 11453 
 11454   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 11455      ( (!y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 --> P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) &
 11456         ...
 11457        (!y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn --> P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 11458      )
 11459 
 11460   and a theorem `split_t_case_asm' of the form
 11461 
 11462   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 11463     ~( (? y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 & ~P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) |
 11464         ...
 11465        (? y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn & ~P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 11466      )
 11467   which can be added to a simpset via `addsplits'. The existing theorems
 11468   expand_list_case and expand_option_case have been renamed to
 11469   split_list_case and split_option_case.
 11470 
 11471 * HOL/Arithmetic:
 11472   - `pred n' is automatically converted to `n-1'.
 11473     Users are strongly encouraged not to use `pred' any longer,
 11474     because it will disappear altogether at some point.
 11475   - Users are strongly encouraged to write "0 < n" rather than
 11476     "n ~= 0". Theorems and proof tools have been modified towards this
 11477     `standard'.
 11478 
 11479 * HOL/Lists:
 11480   the function "set_of_list" has been renamed "set" (and its theorems too);
 11481   the function "nth" now takes its arguments in the reverse order and
 11482   has acquired the infix notation "!" as in "xs!n".
 11483 
 11484 * HOL/Set: UNIV is now a constant and is no longer translated to Compl{};
 11485 
 11486 * HOL/Set: The operator (UN x.B x) now abbreviates (UN x:UNIV. B x) and its
 11487   specialist theorems (like UN1_I) are gone.  Similarly for (INT x.B x);
 11488 
 11489 * HOL/record: extensible records with schematic structural subtyping
 11490 (single inheritance); EXPERIMENTAL version demonstrating the encoding,
 11491 still lacks various theorems and concrete record syntax;
 11492 
 11493 
 11494 *** HOLCF ***
 11495 
 11496 * removed "axioms" and "generated by" sections;
 11497 
 11498 * replaced "ops" section by extended "consts" section, which is capable of
 11499   handling the continuous function space "->" directly;
 11500 
 11501 * domain package:
 11502   . proves theorems immediately and stores them in the theory,
 11503   . creates hierachical name space,
 11504   . now uses normal mixfix annotations (instead of cinfix...),
 11505   . minor changes to some names and values (for consistency),
 11506   . e.g. cases -> casedist, dists_eq -> dist_eqs, [take_lemma] -> take_lemmas,
 11507   . separator between mutual domain defs: changed "," to "and",
 11508   . improved handling of sort constraints;  now they have to
 11509     appear on the left-hand side of the equations only;
 11510 
 11511 * fixed LAM <x,y,zs>.b syntax;
 11512 
 11513 * added extended adm_tac to simplifier in HOLCF -- can now discharge
 11514 adm (%x. P (t x)), where P is chainfinite and t continuous;
 11515 
 11516 
 11517 *** FOL and ZF ***
 11518 
 11519 * FOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 11520   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 11521 
 11522 * qed_spec_mp, qed_goal_spec_mp, qed_goalw_spec_mp are available, as
 11523 in HOL, they strip ALL and --> from proved theorems;
 11524 
 11525 
 11526 
 11527 New in Isabelle94-8 (May 1997)
 11528 ------------------------------
 11529 
 11530 *** General Changes ***
 11531 
 11532 * new utilities to build / run / maintain Isabelle etc. (in parts
 11533 still somewhat experimental); old Makefiles etc. still functional;
 11534 
 11535 * new 'Isabelle System Manual';
 11536 
 11537 * INSTALL text, together with ./configure and ./build scripts;
 11538 
 11539 * reimplemented type inference for greater efficiency, better error
 11540 messages and clean internal interface;
 11541 
 11542 * prlim command for dealing with lots of subgoals (an easier way of
 11543 setting goals_limit);
 11544 
 11545 
 11546 *** Syntax ***
 11547 
 11548 * supports alternative (named) syntax tables (parser and pretty
 11549 printer); internal interface is provided by add_modesyntax(_i);
 11550 
 11551 * Pure, FOL, ZF, HOL, HOLCF now support symbolic input and output; to
 11552 be used in conjunction with the Isabelle symbol font; uses the
 11553 "symbols" syntax table;
 11554 
 11555 * added token_translation interface (may translate name tokens in
 11556 arbitrary ways, dependent on their type (free, bound, tfree, ...) and
 11557 the current print_mode); IMPORTANT: user print translation functions
 11558 are responsible for marking newly introduced bounds
 11559 (Syntax.mark_boundT);
 11560 
 11561 * token translations for modes "xterm" and "xterm_color" that display
 11562 names in bold, underline etc. or colors (which requires a color
 11563 version of xterm);
 11564 
 11565 * infixes may now be declared with names independent of their syntax;
 11566 
 11567 * added typed_print_translation (like print_translation, but may
 11568 access type of constant);
 11569 
 11570 
 11571 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 11572 
 11573 Blast_tac: a new tactic!  It is often more powerful than fast_tac, but has
 11574 some limitations.  Blast_tac...
 11575   + ignores addss, addbefore, addafter; this restriction is intrinsic
 11576   + ignores elimination rules that don't have the correct format
 11577         (the conclusion MUST be a formula variable)
 11578   + ignores types, which can make HOL proofs fail
 11579   + rules must not require higher-order unification, e.g. apply_type in ZF
 11580     [message "Function Var's argument not a bound variable" relates to this]
 11581   + its proof strategy is more general but can actually be slower
 11582 
 11583 * substitution with equality assumptions no longer permutes other
 11584 assumptions;
 11585 
 11586 * minor changes in semantics of addafter (now called addaltern); renamed
 11587 setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to compWrapper; added safe wrapper
 11588 (and access functions for it);
 11589 
 11590 * improved combination of classical reasoner and simplifier:
 11591   + functions for handling clasimpsets
 11592   + improvement of addss: now the simplifier is called _after_ the
 11593     safe steps.
 11594   + safe variant of addss called addSss: uses safe simplifications
 11595     _during_ the safe steps. It is more complete as it allows multiple
 11596     instantiations of unknowns (e.g. with slow_tac).
 11597 
 11598 *** Simplifier ***
 11599 
 11600 * added interface for simplification procedures (functions that
 11601 produce *proven* rewrite rules on the fly, depending on current
 11602 redex);
 11603 
 11604 * ordering on terms as parameter (used for ordered rewriting);
 11605 
 11606 * new functions delcongs, deleqcongs, and Delcongs. richer rep_ss;
 11607 
 11608 * the solver is now split into a safe and an unsafe part.
 11609 This should be invisible for the normal user, except that the
 11610 functions setsolver and addsolver have been renamed to setSolver and
 11611 addSolver; added safe_asm_full_simp_tac;
 11612 
 11613 
 11614 *** HOL ***
 11615 
 11616 * a generic induction tactic `induct_tac' which works for all datatypes and
 11617 also for type `nat';
 11618 
 11619 * a generic case distinction tactic `exhaust_tac' which works for all
 11620 datatypes and also for type `nat';
 11621 
 11622 * each datatype comes with a function `size';
 11623 
 11624 * patterns in case expressions allow tuple patterns as arguments to
 11625 constructors, for example `case x of [] => ... | (x,y,z)#ps => ...';
 11626 
 11627 * primrec now also works with type nat;
 11628 
 11629 * recdef: a new declaration form, allows general recursive functions to be
 11630 defined in theory files.  See HOL/ex/Fib, HOL/ex/Primes, HOL/Subst/Unify.
 11631 
 11632 * the constant for negation has been renamed from "not" to "Not" to
 11633 harmonize with FOL, ZF, LK, etc.;
 11634 
 11635 * HOL/ex/LFilter theory of a corecursive "filter" functional for
 11636 infinite lists;
 11637 
 11638 * HOL/Modelcheck demonstrates invocation of model checker oracle;
 11639 
 11640 * HOL/ex/Ring.thy declares cring_simp, which solves equational
 11641 problems in commutative rings, using axiomatic type classes for + and *;
 11642 
 11643 * more examples in HOL/MiniML and HOL/Auth;
 11644 
 11645 * more default rewrite rules for quantifiers, union/intersection;
 11646 
 11647 * a new constant `arbitrary == @x.False';
 11648 
 11649 * HOLCF/IOA replaces old HOL/IOA;
 11650 
 11651 * HOLCF changes: derived all rules and arities
 11652   + axiomatic type classes instead of classes
 11653   + typedef instead of faking type definitions
 11654   + eliminated the internal constants less_fun, less_cfun, UU_fun, UU_cfun etc.
 11655   + new axclasses cpo, chfin, flat with flat < chfin < pcpo < cpo < po
 11656   + eliminated the types void, one, tr
 11657   + use unit lift and bool lift (with translations) instead of one and tr
 11658   + eliminated blift from Lift3.thy (use Def instead of blift)
 11659   all eliminated rules are derived as theorems --> no visible changes ;
 11660 
 11661 
 11662 *** ZF ***
 11663 
 11664 * ZF now has Fast_tac, Simp_tac and Auto_tac.  Union_iff is a now a default
 11665 rewrite rule; this may affect some proofs.  eq_cs is gone but can be put back
 11666 as ZF_cs addSIs [equalityI];
 11667 
 11668 
 11669 
 11670 New in Isabelle94-7 (November 96)
 11671 ---------------------------------
 11672 
 11673 * allowing negative levels (as offsets) in prlev and choplev;
 11674 
 11675 * super-linear speedup for large simplifications;
 11676 
 11677 * FOL, ZF and HOL now use miniscoping: rewriting pushes
 11678 quantifications in as far as possible (COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS
 11679 FAIL); can suppress it using the command Delsimps (ex_simps @
 11680 all_simps); De Morgan laws are also now included, by default;
 11681 
 11682 * improved printing of ==>  :  ~:
 11683 
 11684 * new object-logic "Sequents" adds linear logic, while replacing LK
 11685 and Modal (thanks to Sara Kalvala);
 11686 
 11687 * HOL/Auth: correctness proofs for authentication protocols;
 11688 
 11689 * HOL: new auto_tac combines rewriting and classical reasoning (many
 11690 examples on HOL/Auth);
 11691 
 11692 * HOL: new command AddIffs for declaring theorems of the form P=Q to
 11693 the rewriter and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 11694 
 11695 * function uresult no longer returns theorems in "standard" format;
 11696 regain previous version by: val uresult = standard o uresult;
 11697 
 11698 
 11699 
 11700 New in Isabelle94-6
 11701 -------------------
 11702 
 11703 * oracles -- these establish an interface between Isabelle and trusted
 11704 external reasoners, which may deliver results as theorems;
 11705 
 11706 * proof objects (in particular record all uses of oracles);
 11707 
 11708 * Simp_tac, Fast_tac, etc. that refer to implicit simpset / claset;
 11709 
 11710 * "constdefs" section in theory files;
 11711 
 11712 * "primrec" section (HOL) no longer requires names;
 11713 
 11714 * internal type "tactic" now simply "thm -> thm Sequence.seq";
 11715 
 11716 
 11717 
 11718 New in Isabelle94-5
 11719 -------------------
 11720 
 11721 * reduced space requirements;
 11722 
 11723 * automatic HTML generation from theories;
 11724 
 11725 * theory files no longer require "..." (quotes) around most types;
 11726 
 11727 * new examples, including two proofs of the Church-Rosser theorem;
 11728 
 11729 * non-curried (1994) version of HOL is no longer distributed;
 11730 
 11731 
 11732 
 11733 New in Isabelle94-4
 11734 -------------------
 11735 
 11736 * greatly reduced space requirements;
 11737 
 11738 * theory files (.thy) no longer require \...\ escapes at line breaks;
 11739 
 11740 * searchable theorem database (see the section "Retrieving theorems" on
 11741 page 8 of the Reference Manual);
 11742 
 11743 * new examples, including Grabczewski's monumental case study of the
 11744 Axiom of Choice;
 11745 
 11746 * The previous version of HOL renamed to Old_HOL;
 11747 
 11748 * The new version of HOL (previously called CHOL) uses a curried syntax
 11749 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b);
 11750 
 11751 * Mutually recursive inductive definitions finally work in HOL;
 11752 
 11753 * In ZF, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions and
 11754 translates to the operator "split";
 11755 
 11756 
 11757 
 11758 New in Isabelle94-3
 11759 -------------------
 11760 
 11761 * new infix operator, addss, allowing the classical reasoner to
 11762 perform simplification at each step of its search.  Example:
 11763         fast_tac (cs addss ss)
 11764 
 11765 * a new logic, CHOL, the same as HOL, but with a curried syntax
 11766 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b).  Also pairs
 11767 look like (a,b) instead of <a,b>;
 11768 
 11769 * PLEASE NOTE: CHOL will eventually replace HOL!
 11770 
 11771 * In CHOL, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions.
 11772 It translates to the operator "split".  A new theory of integers is available;
 11773 
 11774 * In ZF, integer numerals now denote two's-complement binary integers.
 11775 Arithmetic operations can be performed by rewriting.  See ZF/ex/Bin.ML;
 11776 
 11777 * Many new examples: I/O automata, Church-Rosser theorem, equivalents
 11778 of the Axiom of Choice;
 11779 
 11780 
 11781 
 11782 New in Isabelle94-2
 11783 -------------------
 11784 
 11785 * Significantly faster resolution;
 11786 
 11787 * the different sections in a .thy file can now be mixed and repeated
 11788 freely;
 11789 
 11790 * Database of theorems for FOL, HOL and ZF.  New
 11791 commands including qed, qed_goal and bind_thm store theorems in the database.
 11792 
 11793 * Simple database queries: return a named theorem (get_thm) or all theorems of
 11794 a given theory (thms_of), or find out what theory a theorem was proved in
 11795 (theory_of_thm);
 11796
