     1 Isabelle NEWS -- history user-relevant changes
     2 ==============================================
     3 
     4 New in Isabelle2013-1 (November 2013)
     5 -------------------------------------
     6 
     7 *** General ***
     8 
     9 * Discontinued obsolete 'uses' within theory header.  Note that
    10 commands like 'ML_file' work without separate declaration of file
    11 dependencies.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    12 
    13 * Discontinued redundant 'use' command, which was superseded by
    14 'ML_file' in Isabelle2013.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    15 
    16 * Simplified subscripts within identifiers, using plain \<^sub>
    17 instead of the second copy \<^isub> and \<^isup>.  Superscripts are
    18 only for literal tokens within notation; explicit mixfix annotations
    19 for consts or fixed variables may be used as fall-back for unusual
    20 names.  Obsolete \<twosuperior> has been expanded to \<^sup>2 in
    21 Isabelle/HOL.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "isabelle update_sub_sup" to
    22 standardize symbols as a starting point for further manual cleanup.
    23 The ML reference variable "legacy_isub_isup" may be set as temporary
    24 workaround, to make the prover accept a subset of the old identifier
    25 syntax.
    26 
    27 * Document antiquotations: term style "isub" has been renamed to
    28 "sub".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    29 
    30 * Uniform management of "quick_and_dirty" as system option (see also
    31 "isabelle options"), configuration option within the context (see also
    32 Config.get in Isabelle/ML), and attribute in Isabelle/Isar.  Minor
    33 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use more official Isabelle means to access
    34 quick_and_dirty, instead of historical poking into mutable reference.
    35 
    36 * Renamed command 'print_configs' to 'print_options'.  Minor
    37 INCOMPATIBILITY.
    38 
    39 * Proper diagnostic command 'print_state'.  Old 'pr' (with its
    40 implicit change of some global references) is retained for now as
    41 control command, e.g. for ProofGeneral 3.7.x.
    42 
    43 * Discontinued 'print_drafts' command with its old-fashioned PS output
    44 and Unix command-line print spooling.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: use
    45 'display_drafts' instead and print via the regular document viewer.
    46 
    47 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual,
    48 eliminated old "ref" manual.
    49 
    50 
    51 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
    52 
    53 * New manual "jedit" for Isabelle/jEdit, see isabelle doc or
    54 Documentation panel.
    55 
    56 * Dockable window "Documentation" provides access to Isabelle
    57 documentation.
    58 
    59 * Dockable window "Find" provides query operations for formal entities
    60 (GUI front-end to 'find_theorems' command).
    61 
    62 * Dockable window "Sledgehammer" manages asynchronous / parallel
    63 sledgehammer runs over existing document sources, independently of
    64 normal editing and checking process.
    65 
    66 * Dockable window "Timing" provides an overview of relevant command
    67 timing information.
    68 
    69 * Improved dockable window "Theories": Continuous checking of proof
    70 document (visible and required parts) may be controlled explicitly,
    71 using check box or shortcut "C+e ENTER".  Individual theory nodes may
    72 be marked explicitly as required and checked in full, using check box
    73 or shortcut "C+e SPACE".
    74 
    75 * Strictly monotonic document update, without premature cancellation of
    76 running transactions that are still needed: avoid reset/restart of
    77 such command executions while editing.
    78 
    79 * Improved completion mechanism, which is now managed by the
    80 Isabelle/jEdit plugin instead of SideKick.  Refined table of Isabelle
    81 symbol abbreviations (see $ISABELLE_HOME/etc/symbols).
    82 
    83 * Support for asynchronous print functions, as overlay to existing
    84 document content.
    85 
    86 * Support for automatic tools in HOL, which try to prove or disprove
    87 toplevel theorem statements.
    88 
    89 * Action isabelle.reset-font-size resets main text area font size
    90 according to Isabelle/Scala plugin option "jedit_font_reset_size"
    91 (cf. keyboard shortcut C+0).
    92 
    93 * File specifications in jEdit (e.g. file browser) may refer to
    94 $ISABELLE_HOME on all platforms.  Discontinued obsolete
    95 $ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS variable.
    96 
    97 * Improved support for Linux look-and-feel "GTK+", see also "Utilities
    98 / Global Options / Appearance".
    99 
   100 * Improved support of native Mac OS X functionality via "MacOSX"
   101 plugin, which is now enabled by default.
   102 
   103 
   104 *** Pure ***
   105 
   106 * Target-sensitive commands 'interpretation' and 'sublocale'.
   107 Particularly, 'interpretation' now allows for non-persistent
   108 interpretation within "context ... begin ... end" blocks.  See
   109 "isar-ref" manual for details.
   110 
   111 * Improved locales diagnostic command 'print_dependencies'.
   112 
   113 * Discontinued obsolete 'axioms' command, which has been marked as
   114 legacy since Isabelle2009-2.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use 'axiomatization'
   115 instead, while observing its uniform scope for polymorphism.
   116 
   117 * Discontinued empty name bindings in 'axiomatization'.
   118 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   119 
   120 * System option "proofs" has been discontinued.  Instead the global
   121 state of Proofterm.proofs is persistently compiled into logic images
   122 as required, notably HOL-Proofs.  Users no longer need to change
   123 Proofterm.proofs dynamically.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   124 
   125 * Syntax translation functions (print_translation etc.) always depend
   126 on Proof.context.  Discontinued former "(advanced)" option -- this is
   127 now the default.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   128 
   129 * Former global reference trace_unify_fail is now available as
   130 configuration option "unify_trace_failure" (global context only).
   131 
   132 * SELECT_GOAL now retains the syntactic context of the overall goal
   133 state (schematic variables etc.).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare
   134 situations.
   135 
   136 
   137 *** HOL ***
   138 
   139 * Improved support for ad hoc overloading of constants (see also
   140 isar-ref manual and ~~/src/HOL/ex/Adhoc_Overloading_Examples.thy).
   141 
   142 * Attibute 'code': 'code' now declares concrete and abstract code
   143 equations uniformly.  Use explicit 'code equation' and 'code abstract'
   144 to distinguish both when desired.
   145 
   146 * Code generator:
   147   - 'code_printing' unifies 'code_const' / 'code_type' / 'code_class' /
   148     'code_instance'.
   149   - 'code_identifier' declares name hints for arbitrary identifiers in
   150     generated code, subsuming 'code_modulename'.
   151 
   152 See the isar-ref manual for syntax diagrams, and the HOL theories for
   153 examples.
   154 
   155 * HOL/BNF:
   156   - Various improvements to BNF-based (co)datatype package, including new
   157     commands "primrec_new", "primcorec", and "datatype_new_compat",
   158     as well as documentation. See "datatypes.pdf" for details.
   159   - Renamed keywords:
   160     data ~> datatype_new
   161     codata ~> codatatype
   162     bnf_def ~> bnf
   163   - Renamed many generated theorems, including
   164     discs ~> disc
   165     map_comp' ~> map_comp
   166     map_id' ~> map_id
   167     sels ~> sel
   168     set_map' ~> set_map
   169     sets ~> set
   170 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
   171 
   172 * Function package: For mutually recursive functions f and g, separate
   173 cases rules f.cases and g.cases are generated instead of unusable
   174 f_g.cases which exposed internal sum types. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
   175 in the case that the unusable rule was used nevertheless.
   176 
   177 * Function package: For each function f, new rules f.elims are
   178 automatically generated, which eliminate equalities of the form "f x =
   179 t".
   180 
   181 * New command 'fun_cases' derives ad-hoc elimination rules for
   182 function equations as simplified instances of f.elims, analogous to
   183 inductive_cases.  See ~~/src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy for some examples.
   184 
   185 * Library/Polynomial.thy:
   186   - Use lifting for primitive definitions.
   187   - Explicit conversions from and to lists of coefficients, used for
   188     generated code.
   189   - Replaced recursion operator poly_rec by fold_coeffs.
   190   - Prefer pre-existing gcd operation for gcd.
   191   - Fact renames:
   192     poly_eq_iff ~> poly_eq_poly_eq_iff
   193     poly_ext ~> poly_eqI
   194     expand_poly_eq ~> poly_eq_iff
   195 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
   196 
   197 * Reification and reflection:
   198   - Reification is now directly available in HOL-Main in structure
   199     "Reification".
   200   - Reflection now handles multiple lists with variables also.
   201   - The whole reflection stack has been decomposed into conversions.
   202 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   203 
   204 * Stronger precedence of syntax for big intersection and union on
   205 sets, in accordance with corresponding lattice operations.
   206 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   207 
   208 * Nested case expressions are now translated in a separate check phase
   209 rather than during parsing. The data for case combinators is separated
   210 from the datatype package. The declaration attribute
   211 "case_translation" can be used to register new case combinators:
   212 
   213   declare [[case_translation case_combinator constructor1 ... constructorN]]
   214 
   215 * New Library/Simps_Case_Conv.thy: Provides commands simps_of_case and
   216 case_of_simps to convert function definitions between a list of
   217 equations with patterns on the lhs and a single equation with case
   218 expressions on the rhs. See also Ex/Simps_Case_Conv_Examples.thy.
   219 
   220 * Notation "{p:A. P}" now allows tuple patterns as well.
   221 
   222 * Revised devices for recursive definitions over finite sets:
   223   - Only one fundamental fold combinator on finite set remains:
   224     Finite_Set.fold :: ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
   225     This is now identity on infinite sets.
   226   - Locales ("mini packages") for fundamental definitions with
   227     Finite_Set.fold: folding, folding_idem.
   228   - Locales comm_monoid_set, semilattice_order_set and
   229     semilattice_neutr_order_set for big operators on sets.
   230     See theory Big_Operators for canonical examples.
   231     Note that foundational constants comm_monoid_set.F and
   232     semilattice_set.F correspond to former combinators fold_image
   233     and fold1 respectively.  These are now gone.  You may use
   234     those foundational constants as substitutes, but it is
   235     preferable to interpret the above locales accordingly.
   236   - Dropped class ab_semigroup_idem_mult (special case of lattice,
   237     no longer needed in connection with Finite_Set.fold etc.)
   238   - Fact renames:
   239       card.union_inter ~> card_Un_Int [symmetric]
   240       card.union_disjoint ~> card_Un_disjoint
   241 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   242 
   243 * Locale hierarchy for abstract orderings and (semi)lattices.
   244 
   245 * Discontinued theory src/HOL/Library/Eval_Witness.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   246 
   247 * Numeric types mapped by default to target language numerals: natural
   248 (replaces former code_numeral) and integer (replaces former code_int).
   249 Conversions are available as integer_of_natural / natural_of_integer /
   250 integer_of_nat / nat_of_integer (in HOL) and
   251 Code_Numeral.integer_of_natural / Code_Numeral.natural_of_integer (in
   252 ML).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   253 
   254 * Discontinued theories Code_Integer and Efficient_Nat by a more
   255 fine-grain stack of theories Code_Target_Int, Code_Binary_Nat,
   256 Code_Target_Nat and Code_Target_Numeral.  See the tutorial on code
   257 generation for details.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   258 
   259 * Complete_Partial_Order.admissible is defined outside the type class
   260 ccpo, but with mandatory prefix ccpo. Admissibility theorems lose the
   261 class predicate assumption or sort constraint when possible.
   262 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   263 
   264 * Introduce type class "conditionally_complete_lattice": Like a
   265 complete lattice but does not assume the existence of the top and
   266 bottom elements.  Allows to generalize some lemmas about reals and
   267 extended reals.  Removed SupInf and replaced it by the instantiation
   268 of conditionally_complete_lattice for real. Renamed lemmas about
   269 conditionally-complete lattice from Sup_... to cSup_... and from
   270 Inf_...  to cInf_... to avoid hidding of similar complete lattice
   271 lemmas.
   272 
   273 * Introduce type class linear_continuum as combination of
   274 conditionally-complete lattices and inner dense linorders which have
   275 more than one element.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   276 
   277 * Introduced type classes order_top and order_bot. The old classes top
   278 and bot only contain the syntax without assumptions.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
   279 Rename bot -> order_bot, top -> order_top
   280 
   281 * Introduce type classes "no_top" and "no_bot" for orderings without
   282 top and bottom elements.
   283 
   284 * Split dense_linorder into inner_dense_order and no_top, no_bot.
   285 
   286 * Complex_Main: Unify and move various concepts from
   287 HOL-Multivariate_Analysis to HOL-Complex_Main.
   288 
   289  - Introduce type class (lin)order_topology and
   290    linear_continuum_topology.  Allows to generalize theorems about
   291    limits and order.  Instances are reals and extended reals.
   292 
   293  - continuous and continuos_on from Multivariate_Analysis:
   294    "continuous" is the continuity of a function at a filter.  "isCont"
   295    is now an abbrevitation: "isCont x f == continuous (at _) f".
   296 
   297    Generalized continuity lemmas from isCont to continuous on an
   298    arbitrary filter.
   299 
   300  - compact from Multivariate_Analysis. Use Bolzano's lemma to prove
   301    compactness of closed intervals on reals. Continuous functions
   302    attain infimum and supremum on compact sets. The inverse of a
   303    continuous function is continuous, when the function is continuous
   304    on a compact set.
   305 
   306  - connected from Multivariate_Analysis. Use it to prove the
   307    intermediate value theorem. Show connectedness of intervals on
   308    linear_continuum_topology).
   309 
   310  - first_countable_topology from Multivariate_Analysis. Is used to
   311    show equivalence of properties on the neighbourhood filter of x and
   312    on all sequences converging to x.
   313 
   314  - FDERIV: Definition of has_derivative moved to Deriv.thy. Moved
   315    theorems from Library/FDERIV.thy to Deriv.thy and base the
   316    definition of DERIV on FDERIV. Add variants of DERIV and FDERIV
   317    which are restricted to sets, i.e. to represent derivatives from
   318    left or right.
   319 
   320  - Removed the within-filter. It is replaced by the principal filter:
   321 
   322      F within X = inf F (principal X)
   323 
   324  - Introduce "at x within U" as a single constant, "at x" is now an
   325    abbreviation for "at x within UNIV"
   326 
   327  - Introduce named theorem collections tendsto_intros,
   328    continuous_intros, continuous_on_intros and FDERIV_intros. Theorems
   329    in tendsto_intros (or FDERIV_intros) are also available as
   330    tendsto_eq_intros (or FDERIV_eq_intros) where the right-hand side
   331    is replaced by a congruence rule. This allows to apply them as
   332    intro rules and then proving equivalence by the simplifier.
   333 
   334  - Restructured theories in HOL-Complex_Main:
   335 
   336    + Moved RealDef and RComplete into Real
   337 
   338    + Introduced Topological_Spaces and moved theorems about
   339      topological spaces, filters, limits and continuity to it
   340 
   341    + Renamed RealVector to Real_Vector_Spaces
   342 
   343    + Split Lim, SEQ, Series into Topological_Spaces,
   344      Real_Vector_Spaces, and Limits
   345 
   346    + Moved Ln and Log to Transcendental
   347 
   348    + Moved theorems about continuity from Deriv to Topological_Spaces
   349 
   350  - Remove various auxiliary lemmas.
   351 
   352 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   353 
   354 * Consolidation of library theories on product orders:
   355 
   356     Product_Lattice ~> Product_Order -- pointwise order on products
   357     Product_ord ~> Product_Lexorder -- lexicographic order on products
   358 
   359 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   360 
   361 * Nitpick:
   362   - Added option "spy"
   363   - Reduce incidence of "too high arity" errors
   364 
   365 * Sledgehammer:
   366   - Renamed option:
   367       isar_shrink ~> isar_compress
   368     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   369   - Added options "isar_try0", "spy"
   370   - Better support for "isar_proofs"
   371   - MaSh has been fined-tuned and now runs as a local server
   372 
   373 * Imperative-HOL: The MREC combinator is considered legacy and no
   374 longer included by default. INCOMPATIBILITY, use partial_function
   375 instead, or import theory Legacy_Mrec as a fallback.
   376 
   377 * HOL-Algebra: Discontinued theories ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/abstract and
   378 ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/poly.  Existing theories should be based on
   379 ~~/src/HOL/Library/Polynomial instead.  The latter provides
   380 integration with HOL's type classes for rings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   381 
   382 
   383 *** ML ***
   384 
   385 * Spec_Check is a Quickcheck tool for Isabelle/ML.  The ML function
   386 "check_property" allows to check specifications of the form "ALL x y
   387 z. prop x y z".  See also ~~/src/Tools/Spec_Check/ with its
   388 Examples.thy in particular.
   389 
   390 * Improved printing of exception trace in Poly/ML 5.5.1, with regular
   391 tracing output in the command transaction context instead of physical
   392 stdout.  See also Toplevel.debug, Toplevel.debugging and
   393 ML_Compiler.exn_trace.
   394 
   395 * ML type "theory" is now immutable, without any special treatment of
   396 drafts or linear updates (which could lead to "stale theory" errors in
   397 the past).  Discontinued obsolete operations like Theory.copy,
   398 Theory.checkpoint, and the auxiliary type theory_ref.  Minor
   399 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   400 
   401 * More uniform naming of goal functions for skipped proofs:
   402 
   403     Skip_Proof.prove  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry
   404     Skip_Proof.prove_global  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry_global
   405 
   406 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   407 
   408 * Simplifier tactics and tools use proper Proof.context instead of
   409 historic type simpset.  Old-style declarations like addsimps,
   410 addsimprocs etc. operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type simpset
   411 retains its use as snapshot of the main Simplifier context, using
   412 simpset_of and put_simpset on Proof.context.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- port
   413 old tools by making them depend on (ctxt : Proof.context) instead of
   414 (ss : simpset), then turn (simpset_of ctxt) into ctxt.
   415 
   416 * Modifiers for classical wrappers (e.g. addWrapper, delWrapper)
   417 operate on Proof.context instead of claset, for uniformity with addIs,
   418 addEs, addDs etc. Note that claset_of and put_claset allow to manage
   419 clasets separately from the context.
   420 
   421 * Discontinued obsolete ML antiquotations @{claset} and @{simpset}.
   422 INCOMPATIBILITY, use @{context} instead.
   423 
   424 * Antiquotation @{theory_context A} is similar to @{theory A}, but
   425 presents the result as initial Proof.context.
   426 
   427 
   428 *** System ***
   429 
   430 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle usedir, mkdir, make -- superseded by
   431 "isabelle build" in Isabelle2013.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   432 
   433 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle-process options -f and -u (former
   434 administrative aliases of option -e).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   435 
   436 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle print tool, and PRINT_COMMAND
   437 settings variable.
   438 
   439 * Discontinued ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT settings variable and historic
   440 document formats: dvi.gz, ps, ps.gz -- the default document format is
   441 always pdf.
   442 
   443 * Isabelle settings variable ISABELLE_BUILD_JAVA_OPTIONS allows to
   444 specify global resources of the JVM process run by isabelle build.
   445 
   446 * Toplevel executable $ISABELLE_HOME/bin/isabelle_scala_script allows
   447 to run Isabelle/Scala source files as standalone programs.
   448 
   449 * Improved "isabelle keywords" tool (for old-style ProofGeneral
   450 keyword tables): use Isabelle/Scala operations, which inspect outer
   451 syntax without requiring to build sessions first.
   452 
   453 * Sessions may be organized via 'chapter' specifications in the ROOT
   454 file, which determines a two-level hierarchy of browser info.  The old
   455 tree-like organization via implicit sub-session relation (with its
   456 tendency towards erratic fluctuation of URLs) has been discontinued.
   457 The default chapter is called "Unsorted".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
   458 for HTML presentation of theories.

   461 
   462 New in Isabelle2013 (February 2013)
   463 -----------------------------------
   464 
   465 *** General ***
   466 
   467 * Theorem status about oracles and unfinished/failed future proofs is
   468 no longer printed by default, since it is incompatible with
   469 incremental / parallel checking of the persistent document model.  ML
   470 function Thm.peek_status may be used to inspect a snapshot of the
   471 ongoing evaluation process.  Note that in batch mode --- notably
   472 isabelle build --- the system ensures that future proofs of all
   473 accessible theorems in the theory context are finished (as before).
   474 
   475 * Configuration option show_markup controls direct inlining of markup
   476 into the printed representation of formal entities --- notably type
   477 and sort constraints.  This enables Prover IDE users to retrieve that
   478 information via tooltips in the output window, for example.
   479 
   480 * Command 'ML_file' evaluates ML text from a file directly within the
   481 theory, without any predeclaration via 'uses' in the theory header.
   482 
   483 * Old command 'use' command and corresponding keyword 'uses' in the
   484 theory header are legacy features and will be discontinued soon.
   485 Tools that load their additional source files may imitate the
   486 'ML_file' implementation, such that the system can take care of
   487 dependencies properly.
   488 
   489 * Discontinued obsolete method fastsimp / tactic fast_simp_tac, which
   490 is called fastforce / fast_force_tac already since Isabelle2011-1.
   491 
   492 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual, reduced
   493 remaining material in old "ref" manual.
   494 
   495 * Improved support for auxiliary contexts that indicate block structure
   496 for specifications.  Nesting of "context fixes ... context assumes ..."
   497 and "class ... context ...".
   498 
   499 * Attribute "consumes" allows a negative value as well, which is
   500 interpreted relatively to the total number of premises of the rule in
   501 the target context.  This form of declaration is stable when exported
   502 from a nested 'context' with additional assumptions.  It is the
   503 preferred form for definitional packages, notably cases/rules produced
   504 in HOL/inductive and HOL/function.
   505 
   506 * More informative error messages for Isar proof commands involving
   507 lazy enumerations (method applications etc.).
   508 
   509 * Refined 'help' command to retrieve outer syntax commands according
   510 to name patterns (with clickable results).
   511 
   512 
   513 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
   514 
   515 * Parallel terminal proofs ('by') are enabled by default, likewise
   516 proofs that are built into packages like 'datatype', 'function'.  This
   517 allows to "run ahead" checking the theory specifications on the
   518 surface, while the prover is still crunching on internal
   519 justifications.  Unfinished / cancelled proofs are restarted as
   520 required to complete full proof checking eventually.
   521 
   522 * Improved output panel with tooltips, hyperlinks etc. based on the
   523 same Rich_Text_Area as regular Isabelle/jEdit buffers.  Activation of
   524 tooltips leads to some window that supports the same recursively,
   525 which can lead to stacks of tooltips as the semantic document content
   526 is explored.  ESCAPE closes the whole stack, individual windows may be
   527 closed separately, or detached to become independent jEdit dockables.
   528 
   529 * Improved support for commands that produce graph output: the text
   530 message contains a clickable area to open a new instance of the graph
   531 browser on demand.
   532 
   533 * More robust incremental parsing of outer syntax (partial comments,
   534 malformed symbols).  Changing the balance of open/close quotes and
   535 comment delimiters works more conveniently with unfinished situations
   536 that frequently occur in user interaction.
   537 
   538 * More efficient painting and improved reactivity when editing large
   539 files.  More scalable management of formal document content.
   540 
   541 * Smarter handling of tracing messages: prover process pauses after
   542 certain number of messages per command transaction, with some user
   543 dialog to stop or continue.  This avoids swamping the front-end with
   544 potentially infinite message streams.
   545 
   546 * More plugin options and preferences, based on Isabelle/Scala.  The
   547 jEdit plugin option panel provides access to some Isabelle/Scala
   548 options, including tuning parameters for editor reactivity and color
   549 schemes.
   550 
   551 * Dockable window "Symbols" provides some editing support for Isabelle
   552 symbols.
   553 
   554 * Dockable window "Monitor" shows ML runtime statistics.  Note that
   555 continuous display of the chart slows down the system.
   556 
   557 * Improved editing support for control styles: subscript, superscript,
   558 bold, reset of style -- operating on single symbols or text
   559 selections.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C+e DOWN/UP/RIGHT/LEFT.
   560 
   561 * Actions isabelle.increase-font-size and isabelle.decrease-font-size
   562 adjust the main text area font size, and its derivatives for output,
   563 tooltips etc.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C-PLUS and C-MINUS, which often
   564 need to be adapted to local keyboard layouts.
   565 
   566 * More reactive completion popup by default: use \t (TAB) instead of
   567 \n (NEWLINE) to minimize intrusion into regular flow of editing.  See
   568 also "Plugin Options / SideKick / General / Code Completion Options".
   569 
   570 * Implicit check and build dialog of the specified logic session
   571 image.  For example, HOL, HOLCF, HOL-Nominal can be produced on
   572 demand, without bundling big platform-dependent heap images in the
   573 Isabelle distribution.
   574 
   575 * Uniform Java 7 platform on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows: recent updates
   576 from Oracle provide better multi-platform experience.  This version is
   577 now bundled exclusively with Isabelle.
   578 
   579 
   580 *** Pure ***
   581 
   582 * Code generation for Haskell: restrict unqualified imports from
   583 Haskell Prelude to a small set of fundamental operations.
   584 
   585 * Command 'export_code': relative file names are interpreted
   586 relatively to master directory of current theory rather than the
   587 rather arbitrary current working directory.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   588 
   589 * Discontinued obsolete attribute "COMP".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
   590 use regular rule composition via "OF" / "THEN", or explicit proof
   591 structure instead.  Note that Isabelle/ML provides a variety of
   592 operators like COMP, INCR_COMP, COMP_INCR, which need to be applied
   593 with some care where this is really required.
   594 
   595 * Command 'typ' supports an additional variant with explicit sort
   596 constraint, to infer and check the most general type conforming to a
   597 given sort.  Example (in HOL):
   598 
   599   typ "_ * _ * bool * unit" :: finite
   600 
   601 * Command 'locale_deps' visualizes all locales and their relations as
   602 a Hasse diagram.
   603 
   604 
   605 *** HOL ***
   606 
   607 * Sledgehammer:
   608 
   609   - Added MaSh relevance filter based on machine-learning; see the
   610     Sledgehammer manual for details.
   611   - Polished Isar proofs generated with "isar_proofs" option.
   612   - Rationalized type encodings ("type_enc" option).
   613   - Renamed "kill_provers" subcommand to "kill_all".
   614   - Renamed options:
   615       isar_proof ~> isar_proofs
   616       isar_shrink_factor ~> isar_shrink
   617       max_relevant ~> max_facts
   618       relevance_thresholds ~> fact_thresholds
   619 
   620 * Quickcheck: added an optimisation for equality premises.  It is
   621 switched on by default, and can be switched off by setting the
   622 configuration quickcheck_optimise_equality to false.
   623 
   624 * Quotient: only one quotient can be defined by quotient_type
   625 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   626 
   627 * Lifting:
   628   - generation of an abstraction function equation in lift_definition
   629   - quot_del attribute
   630   - renamed no_abs_code -> no_code (INCOMPATIBILITY.)
   631 
   632 * Simproc "finite_Collect" rewrites set comprehensions into pointfree
   633 expressions.
   634 
   635 * Preprocessing of the code generator rewrites set comprehensions into
   636 pointfree expressions.
   637 
   638 * The SMT solver Z3 has now by default a restricted set of directly
   639 supported features. For the full set of features (div/mod, nonlinear
   640 arithmetic, datatypes/records) with potential proof reconstruction
   641 failures, enable the configuration option "z3_with_extensions".  Minor
   642 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   643 
   644 * Simplified 'typedef' specifications: historical options for implicit
   645 set definition and alternative name have been discontinued.  The
   646 former behavior of "typedef (open) t = A" is now the default, but
   647 written just "typedef t = A".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt theories
   648 accordingly.
   649 
   650 * Removed constant "chars"; prefer "Enum.enum" on type "char"
   651 directly.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   652 
   653 * Moved operation product, sublists and n_lists from theory Enum to
   654 List.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   655 
   656 * Theorem UN_o generalized to SUP_comp.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   657 
   658 * Class "comm_monoid_diff" formalises properties of bounded
   659 subtraction, with natural numbers and multisets as typical instances.
   660 
   661 * Added combinator "Option.these" with type "'a option set => 'a set".
   662 
   663 * Theory "Transitive_Closure": renamed lemmas
   664 
   665   reflcl_tranclp -> reflclp_tranclp
   666   rtranclp_reflcl -> rtranclp_reflclp
   667 
   668 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   669 
   670 * Theory "Rings": renamed lemmas (in class semiring)
   671 
   672   left_distrib ~> distrib_right
   673   right_distrib ~> distrib_left
   674 
   675 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   676 
   677 * Generalized the definition of limits:
   678 
   679   - Introduced the predicate filterlim (LIM x F. f x :> G) which
   680     expresses that when the input values x converge to F then the
   681     output f x converges to G.
   682 
   683   - Added filters for convergence to positive (at_top) and negative
   684     infinity (at_bot).
   685 
   686   - Moved infinity in the norm (at_infinity) from
   687     Multivariate_Analysis to Complex_Main.
   688 
   689   - Removed real_tendsto_inf, it is superseded by "LIM x F. f x :>
   690     at_top".
   691 
   692 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   693 
   694 * Theory "Library/Option_ord" provides instantiation of option type to
   695 lattice type classes.
   696 
   697 * Theory "Library/Multiset": renamed
   698 
   699     constant fold_mset ~> Multiset.fold
   700     fact fold_mset_commute ~> fold_mset_comm
   701 
   702 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   703 
   704 * Renamed theory Library/List_Prefix to Library/Sublist, with related
   705 changes as follows.
   706 
   707   - Renamed constants (and related lemmas)
   708 
   709       prefix ~> prefixeq
   710       strict_prefix ~> prefix
   711 
   712   - Replaced constant "postfix" by "suffixeq" with swapped argument
   713     order (i.e., "postfix xs ys" is now "suffixeq ys xs") and dropped
   714     old infix syntax "xs >>= ys"; use "suffixeq ys xs" instead.
   715     Renamed lemmas accordingly.
   716 
   717   - Added constant "list_hembeq" for homeomorphic embedding on
   718     lists. Added abbreviation "sublisteq" for special case
   719     "list_hembeq (op =)".
   720 
   721   - Theory Library/Sublist no longer provides "order" and "bot" type
   722     class instances for the prefix order (merely corresponding locale
   723     interpretations). The type class instances are now in theory
   724     Library/Prefix_Order.
   725 
   726   - The sublist relation of theory Library/Sublist_Order is now based
   727     on "Sublist.sublisteq".  Renamed lemmas accordingly:
   728 
   729       le_list_append_le_same_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append_le_same_iff
   730       le_list_append_mono ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_append_mono
   731       le_list_below_empty ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil, Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil2
   732       le_list_Cons_EX ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_ConsD
   733       le_list_drop_Cons2 ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2'
   734       le_list_drop_Cons_neq ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2_neq
   735       le_list_drop_Cons ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons'
   736       le_list_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_drop_many
   737       le_list_filter_left ~> Sublist.sublisteq_filter_left
   738       le_list_rev_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_rev_drop_many
   739       le_list_rev_take_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append
   740       le_list_same_length ~> Sublist.sublisteq_same_length
   741       le_list_take_many_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append'
   742       less_eq_list.drop ~> less_eq_list_drop
   743       less_eq_list.induct ~> less_eq_list_induct
   744       not_le_list_length ~> Sublist.not_sublisteq_length
   745 
   746 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   747 
   748 * New theory Library/Countable_Set.
   749 
   750 * Theory Library/Debug and Library/Parallel provide debugging and
   751 parallel execution for code generated towards Isabelle/ML.
   752 
   753 * Theory Library/FuncSet: Extended support for Pi and extensional and
   754 introduce the extensional dependent function space "PiE". Replaced
   755 extensional_funcset by an abbreviation, and renamed lemmas from
   756 extensional_funcset to PiE as follows:
   757 
   758   extensional_empty  ~>  PiE_empty
   759   extensional_funcset_empty_domain  ~>  PiE_empty_domain
   760   extensional_funcset_empty_range  ~>  PiE_empty_range
   761   extensional_funcset_arb  ~>  PiE_arb
   762   extensional_funcset_mem  ~>  PiE_mem
   763   extensional_funcset_extend_domainI  ~>  PiE_fun_upd
   764   extensional_funcset_restrict_domain  ~>  fun_upd_in_PiE
   765   extensional_funcset_extend_domain_eq  ~>  PiE_insert_eq
   766   card_extensional_funcset  ~>  card_PiE
   767   finite_extensional_funcset  ~>  finite_PiE
   768 
   769 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   770 
   771 * Theory Library/FinFun: theory of almost everywhere constant
   772 functions (supersedes the AFP entry "Code Generation for Functions as
   773 Data").
   774 
   775 * Theory Library/Phantom: generic phantom type to make a type
   776 parameter appear in a constant's type.  This alternative to adding
   777 TYPE('a) as another parameter avoids unnecessary closures in generated
   778 code.
   779 
   780 * Theory Library/RBT_Impl: efficient construction of red-black trees
   781 from sorted associative lists. Merging two trees with rbt_union may
   782 return a structurally different tree than before.  Potential
   783 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   784 
   785 * Theory Library/IArray: immutable arrays with code generation.
   786 
   787 * Theory Library/Finite_Lattice: theory of finite lattices.
   788 
   789 * HOL/Multivariate_Analysis: replaced
   790 
   791   "basis :: 'a::euclidean_space => nat => real"
   792   "\<Chi>\<Chi> :: (nat => real) => 'a::euclidean_space"
   793 
   794 on euclidean spaces by using the inner product "_ \<bullet> _" with
   795 vectors from the Basis set: "\<Chi>\<Chi> i. f i" is superseded by
   796 "SUM i : Basis. f i * r i".
   797 
   798   With this change the following constants are also changed or removed:
   799 
   800     DIM('a) :: nat  ~>  card (Basis :: 'a set)   (is an abbreviation)
   801     a $$ i  ~>  inner a i  (where i : Basis)
   802     cart_base i  removed
   803     \<pi>, \<pi>'  removed
   804 
   805   Theorems about these constants where removed.
   806 
   807   Renamed lemmas:
   808 
   809     component_le_norm  ~>  Basis_le_norm
   810     euclidean_eq  ~>  euclidean_eq_iff
   811     differential_zero_maxmin_component  ~>  differential_zero_maxmin_cart
   812     euclidean_simps  ~>  inner_simps
   813     independent_basis  ~>  independent_Basis
   814     span_basis  ~>  span_Basis
   815     in_span_basis  ~>  in_span_Basis
   816     norm_bound_component_le  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_le
   817     norm_bound_component_lt  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_lt
   818     component_le_infnorm  ~>  Basis_le_infnorm
   819 
   820 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   821 
   822 * HOL/Probability:
   823 
   824   - Added simproc "measurable" to automatically prove measurability.
   825 
   826   - Added induction rules for sigma sets with disjoint union
   827     (sigma_sets_induct_disjoint) and for Borel-measurable functions
   828     (borel_measurable_induct).
   829 
   830   - Added the Daniell-Kolmogorov theorem (the existence the limit of a
   831     projective family).
   832 
   833 * HOL/Cardinals: Theories of ordinals and cardinals (supersedes the
   834 AFP entry "Ordinals_and_Cardinals").
   835 
   836 * HOL/BNF: New (co)datatype package based on bounded natural functors
   837 with support for mixed, nested recursion and interesting non-free
   838 datatypes.
   839 
   840 * HOL/Finite_Set and Relation: added new set and relation operations
   841 expressed by Finite_Set.fold.
   842 
   843 * New theory HOL/Library/RBT_Set: implementation of sets by red-black
   844 trees for the code generator.
   845 
   846 * HOL/Library/RBT and HOL/Library/Mapping have been converted to
   847 Lifting/Transfer.
   848 possible INCOMPATIBILITY.
   849 
   850 * HOL/Set: renamed Set.project -> Set.filter
   851 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   852 
   853 
   854 *** Document preparation ***
   855 
   856 * Dropped legacy antiquotations "term_style" and "thm_style", since
   857 styles may be given as arguments to "term" and "thm" already.
   858 Discontinued legacy styles "prem1" .. "prem19".
   859 
   860 * Default LaTeX rendering for \<euro> is now based on eurosym package,
   861 instead of slightly exotic babel/greek.
   862 
   863 * Document variant NAME may use different LaTeX entry point
   864 document/root_NAME.tex if that file exists, instead of the common
   865 document/root.tex.
   866 
   867 * Simplified custom document/build script, instead of old-style
   868 document/IsaMakefile.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   869 
   870 
   871 *** ML ***
   872 
   873 * The default limit for maximum number of worker threads is now 8,
   874 instead of 4, in correspondence to capabilities of contemporary
   875 hardware and Poly/ML runtime system.
   876 
   877 * Type Seq.results and related operations support embedded error
   878 messages within lazy enumerations, and thus allow to provide
   879 informative errors in the absence of any usable results.
   880 
   881 * Renamed Position.str_of to Position.here to emphasize that this is a
   882 formal device to inline positions into message text, but not
   883 necessarily printing visible text.
   884 
   885 
   886 *** System ***
   887 
   888 * Advanced support for Isabelle sessions and build management, see
   889 "system" manual for the chapter of that name, especially the "isabelle
   890 build" tool and its examples.  The "isabelle mkroot" tool prepares
   891 session root directories for use with "isabelle build", similar to
   892 former "isabelle mkdir" for "isabelle usedir".  Note that this affects
   893 document preparation as well.  INCOMPATIBILITY, isabelle usedir /
   894 mkdir / make are rendered obsolete.
   895 
   896 * Discontinued obsolete Isabelle/build script, it is superseded by the
   897 regular isabelle build tool.  For example:
   898 
   899   isabelle build -s -b HOL
   900 
   901 * Discontinued obsolete "isabelle makeall".
   902 
   903 * Discontinued obsolete IsaMakefile and ROOT.ML files from the
   904 Isabelle distribution, except for rudimentary src/HOL/IsaMakefile that
   905 provides some traditional targets that invoke "isabelle build".  Note
   906 that this is inefficient!  Applications of Isabelle/HOL involving
   907 "isabelle make" should be upgraded to use "isabelle build" directly.
   908 
   909 * The "isabelle options" tool prints Isabelle system options, as
   910 required for "isabelle build", for example.
   911 
   912 * The "isabelle logo" tool produces EPS and PDF format simultaneously.
   913 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY in command-line options.
   914 
   915 * The "isabelle install" tool has now a simpler command-line.  Minor
   916 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   917 
   918 * The "isabelle components" tool helps to resolve add-on components
   919 that are not bundled, or referenced from a bare-bones repository
   920 version of Isabelle.
   921 
   922 * Settings variable ISABELLE_PLATFORM_FAMILY refers to the general
   923 platform family: "linux", "macos", "windows".
   924 
   925 * The ML system is configured as regular component, and no longer
   926 picked up from some surrounding directory.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
   927 for home-made settings.
   928 
   929 * Improved ML runtime statistics (heap, threads, future tasks etc.).
   930 
   931 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2.1, which was the last version
   932 without exception positions and advanced ML compiler/toplevel
   933 configuration.
   934 
   935 * Discontinued special treatment of Proof General -- no longer guess
   936 PROOFGENERAL_HOME based on accidental file-system layout.  Minor
   937 INCOMPATIBILITY: provide PROOFGENERAL_HOME and PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS
   938 settings manually, or use a Proof General version that has been
   939 bundled as Isabelle component.
   940 
   941 
   942 
   943 New in Isabelle2012 (May 2012)
   944 ------------------------------
   945 
   946 *** General ***
   947 
   948 * Prover IDE (PIDE) improvements:
   949 
   950   - more robust Sledgehammer integration (as before the sledgehammer
   951     command-line needs to be typed into the source buffer)
   952   - markup for bound variables
   953   - markup for types of term variables (displayed as tooltips)
   954   - support for user-defined Isar commands within the running session
   955   - improved support for Unicode outside original 16bit range
   956     e.g. glyph for \<A> (thanks to jEdit 4.5.1)
   957 
   958 * Forward declaration of outer syntax keywords within the theory
   959 header -- minor INCOMPATIBILITY for user-defined commands.  Allow new
   960 commands to be used in the same theory where defined.
   961 
   962 * Auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for specifications with
   963 additional parameters and assumptions.  Such unnamed contexts may be
   964 nested within other targets, like 'theory', 'locale', 'class',
   965 'instantiation' etc.  Results from the local context are generalized
   966 accordingly and applied to the enclosing target context.  Example:
   967 
   968   context
   969     fixes x y z :: 'a
   970     assumes xy: "x = y" and yz: "y = z"
   971   begin
   972 
   973   lemma my_trans: "x = z" using xy yz by simp
   974 
   975   end
   976 
   977   thm my_trans
   978 
   979 The most basic application is to factor-out context elements of
   980 several fixes/assumes/shows theorem statements, e.g. see
   981 ~~/src/HOL/Isar_Examples/Group_Context.thy
   982 
   983 Any other local theory specification element works within the "context
   984 ... begin ... end" block as well.
   985 
   986 * Bundled declarations associate attributed fact expressions with a
   987 given name in the context.  These may be later included in other
   988 contexts.  This allows to manage context extensions casually, without
   989 the logical dependencies of locales and locale interpretation.  See
   990 commands 'bundle', 'include', 'including' etc. in the isar-ref manual.
   991 
   992 * Commands 'lemmas' and 'theorems' allow local variables using 'for'
   993 declaration, and results are standardized before being stored.  Thus
   994 old-style "standard" after instantiation or composition of facts
   995 becomes obsolete.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, due to potential change of
   996 indices of schematic variables.
   997 
   998 * Rule attributes in local theory declarations (e.g. locale or class)
   999 are now statically evaluated: the resulting theorem is stored instead
  1000 of the original expression.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  1001 the historic accident of dynamic re-evaluation in interpretations
  1002 etc. was exploited.
  1003 
  1004 * New tutorial "Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL"
  1005 ("prog-prove").  It completely supersedes "A Tutorial Introduction to
  1006 Structured Isar Proofs" ("isar-overview"), which has been removed.  It
  1007 also supersedes "Isabelle/HOL, A Proof Assistant for Higher-Order
  1008 Logic" as the recommended beginners tutorial, but does not cover all
  1009 of the material of that old tutorial.
  1010 
  1011 * Updated and extended reference manuals: "isar-ref",
  1012 "implementation", "system"; reduced remaining material in old "ref"
  1013 manual.
  1014 
  1015 
  1016 *** Pure ***
  1017 
  1018 * Command 'definition' no longer exports the foundational "raw_def"
  1019 into the user context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, may use the regular
  1020 "def" result with attribute "abs_def" to imitate the old version.
  1021 
  1022 * Attribute "abs_def" turns an equation of the form "f x y == t" into
  1023 "f == %x y. t", which ensures that "simp" or "unfold" steps always
  1024 expand it.  This also works for object-logic equality.  (Formerly
  1025 undocumented feature.)
  1026 
  1027 * Sort constraints are now propagated in simultaneous statements, just
  1028 like type constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  1029 distinct sorts used to be assigned accidentally.  For example:
  1030 
  1031   lemma "P (x::'a::foo)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"  -- "now illegal"
  1032 
  1033   lemma "P (x::'a)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"
  1034     -- "now uniform 'a::bar instead of default sort for first occurrence (!)"
  1035 
  1036 * Rule composition via attribute "OF" (or ML functions OF/MRS) is more
  1037 tolerant against multiple unifiers, as long as the final result is
  1038 unique.  (As before, rules are composed in canonical right-to-left
  1039 order to accommodate newly introduced premises.)
  1040 
  1041 * Renamed some inner syntax categories:
  1042 
  1043     num ~> num_token
  1044     xnum ~> xnum_token
  1045     xstr ~> str_token
  1046 
  1047 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that in practice "num_const" or
  1048 "num_position" etc. are mainly used instead (which also include
  1049 position information via constraints).
  1050 
  1051 * Simplified configuration options for syntax ambiguity: see
  1052 "syntax_ambiguity_warning" and "syntax_ambiguity_limit" in isar-ref
  1053 manual.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1054 
  1055 * Discontinued configuration option "syntax_positions": atomic terms
  1056 in parse trees are always annotated by position constraints.
  1057 
  1058 * Old code generator for SML and its commands 'code_module',
  1059 'code_library', 'consts_code', 'types_code' have been discontinued.
  1060 Use commands of the generic code generator instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1061 
  1062 * Redundant attribute "code_inline" has been discontinued. Use
  1063 "code_unfold" instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1064 
  1065 * Dropped attribute "code_unfold_post" in favor of the its dual
  1066 "code_abbrev", which yields a common pattern in definitions like
  1067 
  1068   definition [code_abbrev]: "f = t"
  1069 
  1070 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1071 
  1072 * Obsolete 'types' command has been discontinued.  Use 'type_synonym'
  1073 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1074 
  1075 * Discontinued old "prems" fact, which used to refer to the accidental
  1076 collection of foundational premises in the context (already marked as
  1077 legacy since Isabelle2011).
  1078 
  1079 
  1080 *** HOL ***
  1081 
  1082 * Type 'a set is now a proper type constructor (just as before
  1083 Isabelle2008).  Definitions mem_def and Collect_def have disappeared.
  1084 Non-trivial INCOMPATIBILITY.  For developments keeping predicates and
  1085 sets separate, it is often sufficient to rephrase some set S that has
  1086 been accidentally used as predicates by "%x. x : S", and some
  1087 predicate P that has been accidentally used as set by "{x. P x}".
  1088 Corresponding proofs in a first step should be pruned from any
  1089 tinkering with former theorems mem_def and Collect_def as far as
  1090 possible.
  1091 
  1092 For developments which deliberately mix predicates and sets, a
  1093 planning step is necessary to determine what should become a predicate
  1094 and what a set.  It can be helpful to carry out that step in
  1095 Isabelle2011-1 before jumping right into the current release.
  1096 
  1097 * Code generation by default implements sets as container type rather
  1098 than predicates.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1099 
  1100 * New type synonym 'a rel = ('a * 'a) set
  1101 
  1102 * The representation of numerals has changed.  Datatype "num"
  1103 represents strictly positive binary numerals, along with functions
  1104 "numeral :: num => 'a" and "neg_numeral :: num => 'a" to represent
  1105 positive and negated numeric literals, respectively.  See also
  1106 definitions in ~~/src/HOL/Num.thy.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, some
  1107 user theories may require adaptations as follows:
  1108 
  1109   - Theorems with number_ring or number_semiring constraints: These
  1110     classes are gone; use comm_ring_1 or comm_semiring_1 instead.
  1111 
  1112   - Theories defining numeric types: Remove number, number_semiring,
  1113     and number_ring instances. Defer all theorems about numerals until
  1114     after classes one and semigroup_add have been instantiated.
  1115 
  1116   - Numeral-only simp rules: Replace each rule having a "number_of v"
  1117     pattern with two copies, one for numeral and one for neg_numeral.
  1118 
  1119   - Theorems about subclasses of semiring_1 or ring_1: These classes
  1120     automatically support numerals now, so more simp rules and
  1121     simprocs may now apply within the proof.
  1122 
  1123   - Definitions and theorems using old constructors Pls/Min/Bit0/Bit1:
  1124     Redefine using other integer operations.
  1125 
  1126 * Transfer: New package intended to generalize the existing
  1127 "descending" method and related theorem attributes from the Quotient
  1128 package.  (Not all functionality is implemented yet, but future
  1129 development will focus on Transfer as an eventual replacement for the
  1130 corresponding parts of the Quotient package.)
  1131 
  1132   - transfer_rule attribute: Maintains a collection of transfer rules,
  1133     which relate constants at two different types. Transfer rules may
  1134     relate different type instances of the same polymorphic constant,
  1135     or they may relate an operation on a raw type to a corresponding
  1136     operation on an abstract type (quotient or subtype). For example:
  1137 
  1138     ((A ===> B) ===> list_all2 A ===> list_all2 B) map map
  1139     (cr_int ===> cr_int ===> cr_int) (%(x,y) (u,v). (x+u, y+v)) plus_int
  1140 
  1141   - transfer method: Replaces a subgoal on abstract types with an
  1142     equivalent subgoal on the corresponding raw types. Constants are
  1143     replaced with corresponding ones according to the transfer rules.
  1144     Goals are generalized over all free variables by default; this is
  1145     necessary for variables whose types change, but can be overridden
  1146     for specific variables with e.g. "transfer fixing: x y z".  The
  1147     variant transfer' method allows replacing a subgoal with one that
  1148     is logically stronger (rather than equivalent).
  1149 
  1150   - relator_eq attribute: Collects identity laws for relators of
  1151     various type constructors, e.g. "list_all2 (op =) = (op =)".  The
  1152     transfer method uses these lemmas to infer transfer rules for
  1153     non-polymorphic constants on the fly.
  1154 
  1155   - transfer_prover method: Assists with proving a transfer rule for a
  1156     new constant, provided the constant is defined in terms of other
  1157     constants that already have transfer rules. It should be applied
  1158     after unfolding the constant definitions.
  1159 
  1160   - HOL/ex/Transfer_Int_Nat.thy: Example theory demonstrating transfer
  1161     from type nat to type int.
  1162 
  1163 * Lifting: New package intended to generalize the quotient_definition
  1164 facility of the Quotient package; designed to work with Transfer.
  1165 
  1166   - lift_definition command: Defines operations on an abstract type in
  1167     terms of a corresponding operation on a representation
  1168     type.  Example syntax:
  1169 
  1170     lift_definition dlist_insert :: "'a => 'a dlist => 'a dlist"
  1171       is List.insert
  1172 
  1173     Users must discharge a respectfulness proof obligation when each
  1174     constant is defined. (For a type copy, i.e. a typedef with UNIV,
  1175     the proof is discharged automatically.) The obligation is
  1176     presented in a user-friendly, readable form; a respectfulness
  1177     theorem in the standard format and a transfer rule are generated
  1178     by the package.
  1179 
  1180   - Integration with code_abstype: For typedefs (e.g. subtypes
  1181     corresponding to a datatype invariant, such as dlist),
  1182     lift_definition generates a code certificate theorem and sets up
  1183     code generation for each constant.
  1184 
  1185   - setup_lifting command: Sets up the Lifting package to work with a
  1186     user-defined type. The user must provide either a quotient theorem
  1187     or a type_definition theorem.  The package configures transfer
  1188     rules for equality and quantifiers on the type, and sets up the
  1189     lift_definition command to work with the type.
  1190 
  1191   - Usage examples: See Quotient_Examples/Lift_DList.thy,
  1192     Quotient_Examples/Lift_RBT.thy, Quotient_Examples/Lift_FSet.thy,
  1193     Word/Word.thy and Library/Float.thy.
  1194 
  1195 * Quotient package:
  1196 
  1197   - The 'quotient_type' command now supports a 'morphisms' option with
  1198     rep and abs functions, similar to typedef.
  1199 
  1200   - 'quotient_type' sets up new types to work with the Lifting and
  1201     Transfer packages, as with 'setup_lifting'.
  1202 
  1203   - The 'quotient_definition' command now requires the user to prove a
  1204     respectfulness property at the point where the constant is
  1205     defined, similar to lift_definition; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1206 
  1207   - Renamed predicate 'Quotient' to 'Quotient3', and renamed theorems
  1208     accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1209 
  1210 * New diagnostic command 'find_unused_assms' to find potentially
  1211 superfluous assumptions in theorems using Quickcheck.
  1212 
  1213 * Quickcheck:
  1214 
  1215   - Quickcheck returns variable assignments as counterexamples, which
  1216     allows to reveal the underspecification of functions under test.
  1217     For example, refuting "hd xs = x", it presents the variable
  1218     assignment xs = [] and x = a1 as a counterexample, assuming that
  1219     any property is false whenever "hd []" occurs in it.
  1220 
  1221     These counterexample are marked as potentially spurious, as
  1222     Quickcheck also returns "xs = []" as a counterexample to the
  1223     obvious theorem "hd xs = hd xs".
  1224 
  1225     After finding a potentially spurious counterexample, Quickcheck
  1226     continues searching for genuine ones.
  1227 
  1228     By default, Quickcheck shows potentially spurious and genuine
  1229     counterexamples. The option "genuine_only" sets quickcheck to only
  1230     show genuine counterexamples.
  1231 
  1232   - The command 'quickcheck_generator' creates random and exhaustive
  1233     value generators for a given type and operations.
  1234 
  1235     It generates values by using the operations as if they were
  1236     constructors of that type.
  1237 
  1238   - Support for multisets.
  1239 
  1240   - Added "use_subtype" options.
  1241 
  1242   - Added "quickcheck_locale" configuration to specify how to process
  1243     conjectures in a locale context.
  1244 
  1245 * Nitpick: Fixed infinite loop caused by the 'peephole_optim' option
  1246 and affecting 'rat' and 'real'.
  1247 
  1248 * Sledgehammer:
  1249   - Integrated more tightly with SPASS, as described in the ITP 2012
  1250     paper "More SPASS with Isabelle".
  1251   - Made it try "smt" as a fallback if "metis" fails or times out.
  1252   - Added support for the following provers: Alt-Ergo (via Why3 and
  1253     TFF1), iProver, iProver-Eq.
  1254   - Sped up the minimizer.
  1255   - Added "lam_trans", "uncurry_aliases", and "minimize" options.
  1256   - Renamed "slicing" ("no_slicing") option to "slice" ("dont_slice").
  1257   - Renamed "sound" option to "strict".
  1258 
  1259 * Metis: Added possibility to specify lambda translations scheme as a
  1260 parenthesized argument (e.g., "by (metis (lifting) ...)").
  1261 
  1262 * SMT: Renamed "smt_fixed" option to "smt_read_only_certificates".
  1263 
  1264 * Command 'try0': Renamed from 'try_methods'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1265 
  1266 * New "case_product" attribute to generate a case rule doing multiple
  1267 case distinctions at the same time.  E.g.
  1268 
  1269   list.exhaust [case_product nat.exhaust]
  1270 
  1271 produces a rule which can be used to perform case distinction on both
  1272 a list and a nat.
  1273 
  1274 * New "eventually_elim" method as a generalized variant of the
  1275 eventually_elim* rules.  Supports structured proofs.
  1276 
  1277 * Typedef with implicit set definition is considered legacy.  Use
  1278 "typedef (open)" form instead, which will eventually become the
  1279 default.
  1280 
  1281 * Record: code generation can be switched off manually with
  1282 
  1283   declare [[record_coden = false]]  -- "default true"
  1284 
  1285 * Datatype: type parameters allow explicit sort constraints.
  1286 
  1287 * Concrete syntax for case expressions includes constraints for source
  1288 positions, and thus produces Prover IDE markup for its bindings.
  1289 INCOMPATIBILITY for old-style syntax translations that augment the
  1290 pattern notation; e.g. see src/HOL/HOLCF/One.thy for translations of
  1291 one_case.
  1292 
  1293 * Clarified attribute "mono_set": pure declaration without modifying
  1294 the result of the fact expression.
  1295 
  1296 * More default pred/set conversions on a couple of relation operations
  1297 and predicates.  Added powers of predicate relations.  Consolidation
  1298 of some relation theorems:
  1299 
  1300   converse_def ~> converse_unfold
  1301   rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
  1302   symp_def ~> (modified, use symp_def and sym_def instead)
  1303   transp_def ~> transp_trans
  1304   Domain_def ~> Domain_unfold
  1305   Range_def ~> Domain_converse [symmetric]
  1306 
  1307 Generalized theorems INF_INT_eq, INF_INT_eq2, SUP_UN_eq, SUP_UN_eq2.
  1308 
  1309 See theory "Relation" for examples for making use of pred/set
  1310 conversions by means of attributes "to_set" and "to_pred".
  1311 
  1312 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1313 
  1314 * Renamed facts about the power operation on relations, i.e., relpow
  1315 to match the constant's name:
  1316 
  1317   rel_pow_1 ~> relpow_1
  1318   rel_pow_0_I ~> relpow_0_I
  1319   rel_pow_Suc_I ~> relpow_Suc_I
  1320   rel_pow_Suc_I2 ~> relpow_Suc_I2
  1321   rel_pow_0_E ~> relpow_0_E
  1322   rel_pow_Suc_E ~> relpow_Suc_E
  1323   rel_pow_E ~> relpow_E
  1324   rel_pow_Suc_D2 ~> relpow_Suc_D2
  1325   rel_pow_Suc_E2 ~> relpow_Suc_E2
  1326   rel_pow_Suc_D2' ~> relpow_Suc_D2'
  1327   rel_pow_E2 ~> relpow_E2
  1328   rel_pow_add ~> relpow_add
  1329   rel_pow_commute ~> relpow
  1330   rel_pow_empty ~> relpow_empty:
  1331   rtrancl_imp_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_imp_UN_relpow
  1332   rel_pow_imp_rtrancl ~> relpow_imp_rtrancl
  1333   rtrancl_is_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_is_UN_relpow
  1334   rtrancl_imp_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_imp_relpow
  1335   rel_pow_fun_conv ~> relpow_fun_conv
  1336   rel_pow_finite_bounded1 ~> relpow_finite_bounded1
  1337   rel_pow_finite_bounded ~> relpow_finite_bounded
  1338   rtrancl_finite_eq_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_finite_eq_relpow
  1339   trancl_finite_eq_rel_pow ~> trancl_finite_eq_relpow
  1340   single_valued_rel_pow ~> single_valued_relpow
  1341 
  1342 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1343 
  1344 * Theory Relation: Consolidated constant name for relation composition

  1749 * Session HOL-Word: New proof method "word_bitwise" for splitting
  1750 machine word equalities and inequalities into logical circuits,
  1751 defined in HOL/Word/WordBitwise.thy.  Supports addition, subtraction,
  1752 multiplication, shifting by constants, bitwise operators and numeric
  1753 constants.  Requires fixed-length word types, not 'a word.  Solves
  1754 many standard word identities outright and converts more into first
  1755 order problems amenable to blast or similar.  See also examples in
  1756 HOL/Word/Examples/WordExamples.thy.
  1757 
  1758 * Session HOL-Probability: Introduced the type "'a measure" to
  1759 represent measures, this replaces the records 'a algebra and 'a
  1760 measure_space.  The locales based on subset_class now have two
  1761 locale-parameters the space \<Omega> and the set of measurable sets M.
  1762 The product of probability spaces uses now the same constant as the
  1763 finite product of sigma-finite measure spaces "PiM :: ('i => 'a)
  1764 measure".  Most constants are defined now outside of locales and gain
  1765 an additional parameter, like null_sets, almost_eventually or \<mu>'.
  1766 Measure space constructions for distributions and densities now got
  1767 their own constants distr and density.  Instead of using locales to
  1768 describe measure spaces with a finite space, the measure count_space
  1769 and point_measure is introduced.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  1795   image_space
  1796   joint_distribution -> use distr measure, or distributed predicate

  1931 * Session HOL-TPTP: support to parse and import TPTP problems (all
  1932 languages) into Isabelle/HOL.
  1933 
  1934 
  1935 *** FOL ***
  1936 
  1937 * New "case_product" attribute (see HOL).
  1938 
  1939 
  1940 *** ZF ***
  1941 
  1942 * Greater support for structured proofs involving induction or case
  1943 analysis.
  1944 
  1945 * Much greater use of mathematical symbols.
  1946 
  1947 * Removal of many ML theorem bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1948 
  1949 
  1950 *** ML ***
  1951 
  1952 * Antiquotation @{keyword "name"} produces a parser for outer syntax
  1953 from a minor keyword introduced via theory header declaration.
  1954 
  1955 * Antiquotation @{command_spec "name"} produces the
  1956 Outer_Syntax.command_spec from a major keyword introduced via theory
  1957 header declaration; it can be passed to Outer_Syntax.command etc.
  1958 
  1959 * Local_Theory.define no longer hard-wires default theorem name
  1960 "foo_def", but retains the binding as given.  If that is Binding.empty
  1961 / Attrib.empty_binding, the result is not registered as user-level
  1962 fact.  The Local_Theory.define_internal variant allows to specify a
  1963 non-empty name (used for the foundation in the background theory),
  1964 while omitting the fact binding in the user-context.  Potential
  1965 INCOMPATIBILITY for derived definitional packages: need to specify
  1966 naming policy for primitive definitions more explicitly.
  1967 
  1968 * Renamed Thm.capply to Thm.apply, and Thm.cabs to Thm.lambda in
  1969 conformance with similar operations in structure Term and Logic.
  1970 
  1971 * Antiquotation @{attributes [...]} embeds attribute source
  1972 representation into the ML text, which is particularly useful with
  1973 declarations like Local_Theory.note.
  1974 
  1975 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  1976 ProofContext has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1977 
  1978 * Refined Local_Theory.declaration {syntax, pervasive}, with subtle
  1979 change of semantics: update is applied to auxiliary local theory
  1980 context as well.
  1981 
  1982 * Modernized some old-style infix operations:
  1983 
  1984   addeqcongs    ~> Simplifier.add_eqcong
  1985   deleqcongs    ~> Simplifier.del_eqcong
  1986   addcongs      ~> Simplifier.add_cong

  1992   settermless   ~> Simplifier.set_termless
  1993   setsubgoaler  ~> Simplifier.set_subgoaler
  1994   addsplits     ~> Splitter.add_split
  1995   delsplits     ~> Splitter.del_split
  1996 
  1997 
  1998 *** System ***
  1999 
  2000 * USER_HOME settings variable points to cross-platform user home
  2001 directory, which coincides with HOME on POSIX systems only.  Likewise,
  2002 the Isabelle path specification "~" now expands to $USER_HOME, instead
  2003 of former $HOME.  A different default for USER_HOME may be set
  2004 explicitly in shell environment, before Isabelle settings are
  2005 evaluated.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: need to adapt Isabelle path where
  2006 the generic user home was intended.
  2007 
  2008 * ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS refers to ISABELLE_HOME in windows file name
  2009 notation, which is useful for the jEdit file browser, for example.
  2010 
  2011 * ISABELLE_JDK_HOME settings variable points to JDK with javac and jar
  2012 (not just JRE).
  2013 
  2014 
  2015 
  2016 New in Isabelle2011-1 (October 2011)
  2017 ------------------------------------
  2018 
  2019 *** General ***
  2020 
  2021 * Improved Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE (PIDE), which can be invoked as
  2022 "isabelle jedit" or "ISABELLE_HOME/Isabelle" on the command line.
  2023 
  2024   - Management of multiple theory files directly from the editor
  2025     buffer store -- bypassing the file-system (no requirement to save
  2026     files for checking).
  2027 
  2028   - Markup of formal entities within the text buffer, with semantic
  2029     highlighting, tooltips and hyperlinks to jump to defining source
  2030     positions.
  2031 
  2032   - Improved text rendering, with sub/superscripts in the source
  2033     buffer (including support for copy/paste wrt. output panel, HTML
  2034     theory output and other non-Isabelle text boxes).
  2035 
  2036   - Refined scheduling of proof checking and printing of results,
  2037     based on interactive editor view.  (Note: jEdit folding and
  2038     narrowing allows to restrict buffer perspectives explicitly.)
  2039 
  2040   - Reduced CPU performance requirements, usable on machines with few
  2041     cores.
  2042 
  2043   - Reduced memory requirements due to pruning of unused document
  2044     versions (garbage collection).
  2045 
  2046 See also ~~/src/Tools/jEdit/README.html for further information,
  2047 including some remaining limitations.
  2048 
  2049 * Theory loader: source files are exclusively located via the master
  2050 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  2051 The global load path (such as src/HOL/Library) has been discontinued.
  2052 Note that the path element ~~ may be used to reference theories in the
  2053 Isabelle home folder -- for instance, "~~/src/HOL/Library/FuncSet".
  2054 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2055 
  2056 * Theory loader: source files are identified by content via SHA1
  2057 digests.  Discontinued former path/modtime identification and optional
  2058 ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT plugin scripts.
  2059 
  2060 * Parallelization of nested Isar proofs is subject to
  2061 Goal.parallel_proofs_threshold (default 100).  See also isabelle
  2062 usedir option -Q.
  2063 
  2064 * Name space: former unsynchronized references are now proper
  2065 configuration options, with more conventional names:
  2066 
  2067   long_names   ~> names_long
  2068   short_names  ~> names_short
  2069   unique_names ~> names_unique
  2070 
  2071 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, need to declare options in context like this:
  2072 
  2073   declare [[names_unique = false]]
  2074 
  2075 * Literal facts `prop` may contain dummy patterns, e.g. `_ = _`.  Note
  2076 that the result needs to be unique, which means fact specifications
  2077 may have to be refined after enriching a proof context.
  2078 
  2079 * Attribute "case_names" has been refined: the assumptions in each case
  2080 can be named now by following the case name with [name1 name2 ...].
  2081 
  2082 * Isabelle/Isar reference manual has been updated and extended:
  2083   - "Synopsis" provides a catalog of main Isar language concepts.
  2084   - Formal references in syntax diagrams, via @{rail} antiquotation.
  2085   - Updated material from classic "ref" manual, notably about
  2086     "Classical Reasoner".
  2087 
  2088 
  2089 *** HOL ***
  2090 
  2091 * Class bot and top require underlying partial order rather than
  2092 preorder: uniqueness of bot and top is guaranteed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2093 
  2094 * Class complete_lattice: generalized a couple of lemmas from sets;
  2095 generalized theorems INF_cong and SUP_cong.  New type classes for
  2096 complete boolean algebras and complete linear orders.  Lemmas
  2097 Inf_less_iff, less_Sup_iff, INF_less_iff, less_SUP_iff now reside in
  2098 class complete_linorder.
  2099 
  2100 Changed proposition of lemmas Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, Inf_fun_def,
  2101 Sup_fun_def, Inf_apply, Sup_apply.
  2102 
  2103 Removed redundant lemmas (the right hand side gives hints how to
  2104 replace them for (metis ...), or (simp only: ...) proofs):
  2105 
  2106   Inf_singleton ~> Inf_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Inf_empty inf_top_right]
  2107   Sup_singleton ~> Sup_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Sup_empty sup_bot_right]
  2108   Inf_binary ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  2109   Sup_binary ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right

  2115   UN_eq ~> SUP_def, and image_def
  2116   INF_subset ~> INF_superset_mono [OF _ order_refl]
  2117 
  2118 More consistent and comprehensive names:
  2119

  2136 
  2137 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2138 
  2139 * Renamed theory Complete_Lattice to Complete_Lattices.
  2140 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2141 
  2142 * Theory Complete_Lattices: lemmas Inf_eq_top_iff, INF_eq_top_iff,
  2143 INF_image, Inf_insert, INF_top, Inf_top_conv, INF_top_conv, SUP_bot,
  2144 Sup_bot_conv, SUP_bot_conv, Sup_eq_top_iff, SUP_eq_top_iff, SUP_image,
  2145 Sup_insert are now declared as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2146 
  2147 * Theory Lattice: lemmas compl_inf_bot, compl_le_comp_iff,
  2148 compl_sup_top, inf_idem, inf_left_idem, inf_sup_absorb, sup_idem,
  2149 sup_inf_absob, sup_left_idem are now declared as [simp].  Minor
  2150 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2151 
  2152 * Added syntactic classes "inf" and "sup" for the respective
  2153 constants.  INCOMPATIBILITY: Changes in the argument order of the
  2154 (mostly internal) locale predicates for some derived classes.
  2155 
  2156 * Theorem collections ball_simps and bex_simps do not contain theorems
  2157 referring to UNION any longer; these have been moved to collection
  2158 UN_ball_bex_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2159 
  2160 * Theory Archimedean_Field: floor now is defined as parameter of a
  2161 separate type class floor_ceiling.
  2162 
  2163 * Theory Finite_Set: more coherent development of fold_set locales:
  2164 
  2165     locale fun_left_comm ~> locale comp_fun_commute
  2166     locale fun_left_comm_idem ~> locale comp_fun_idem
  2167 
  2168 Both use point-free characterization; interpretation proofs may need
  2169 adjustment.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2170 
  2171 * Theory Limits: Type "'a net" has been renamed to "'a filter", in
  2172 accordance with standard mathematical terminology. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2173 
  2174 * Theory Complex_Main: The locale interpretations for the
  2175 bounded_linear and bounded_bilinear locales have been removed, in
  2176 order to reduce the number of duplicate lemmas. Users must use the
  2177 original names for distributivity theorems, potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2273 * Theory Complex_Main: The definition of infinite series was
  2274 generalized.  Now it is defined on the type class {topological_space,
  2275 comm_monoid_add}.  Hence it is useable also for extended real numbers.
  2276 
  2277 * Theory Complex_Main: The complex exponential function "expi" is now
  2278 a type-constrained abbreviation for "exp :: complex => complex"; thus
  2279 several polymorphic lemmas about "exp" are now applicable to "expi".
  2280 
  2281 * Code generation:
  2282 
  2283   - Theory Library/Code_Char_ord provides native ordering of
  2284     characters in the target language.
  2285 
  2286   - Commands code_module and code_library are legacy, use export_code
  2287     instead.
  2288 
  2289   - Method "evaluation" is legacy, use method "eval" instead.
  2290 
  2291   - Legacy evaluator "SML" is deactivated by default.  May be
  2292     reactivated by the following theory command:
  2293 
  2294       setup {* Value.add_evaluator ("SML", Codegen.eval_term) *}
  2295 
  2296 * Declare ext [intro] by default.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2297 
  2298 * New proof method "induction" that gives induction hypotheses the
  2299 name "IH", thus distinguishing them from further hypotheses that come
  2300 from rule induction.  The latter are still called "hyps".  Method
  2301 "induction" is a thin wrapper around "induct" and follows the same
  2302 syntax.
  2303 
  2304 * Method "fastsimp" has been renamed to "fastforce", but "fastsimp" is
  2305 still available as a legacy feature for some time.
  2306 
  2307 * Nitpick:
  2308   - Added "need" and "total_consts" options.
  2309   - Reintroduced "show_skolems" option by popular demand.
  2310   - Renamed attribute: nitpick_def ~> nitpick_unfold.
  2311     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2312 
  2313 * Sledgehammer:
  2314   - Use quasi-sound (and efficient) translations by default.
  2315   - Added support for the following provers: E-ToFoF, LEO-II,
  2316     Satallax, SNARK, Waldmeister, and Z3 with TPTP syntax.
  2317   - Automatically preplay and minimize proofs before showing them if
  2318     this can be done within reasonable time.
  2319   - sledgehammer available_provers ~> sledgehammer supported_provers.
  2320     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2321   - Added "preplay_timeout", "slicing", "type_enc", "sound",
  2322     "max_mono_iters", and "max_new_mono_instances" options.
  2323   - Removed "explicit_apply" and "full_types" options as well as "Full
  2324     Types" Proof General menu item. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2325 
  2326 * Metis:
  2327   - Removed "metisF" -- use "metis" instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2328   - Obsoleted "metisFT" -- use "metis (full_types)" instead.
  2329     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2330 
  2331 * Command 'try':
  2332   - Renamed 'try_methods' and added "simp:", "intro:", "dest:", and
  2333     "elim:" options. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2334   - Introduced 'try' that not only runs 'try_methods' but also
  2335     'solve_direct', 'sledgehammer', 'quickcheck', and 'nitpick'.
  2336 
  2337 * Quickcheck:
  2338   - Added "eval" option to evaluate terms for the found counterexample
  2339     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  2340   - Added post-processing of terms to obtain readable counterexamples
  2341     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  2342   - New counterexample generator quickcheck[narrowing] enables
  2343     narrowing-based testing.  Requires the Glasgow Haskell compiler
  2344     with its installation location defined in the Isabelle settings
  2345     environment as ISABELLE_GHC.
  2346   - Removed quickcheck tester "SML" based on the SML code generator
  2347     (formly in HOL/Library).
  2348 
  2349 * Function package: discontinued option "tailrec".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  2350 use 'partial_function' instead.
  2351 
  2352 * Theory Library/Extended_Reals replaces now the positive extended
  2353 reals found in probability theory. This file is extended by
  2354 Multivariate_Analysis/Extended_Real_Limits.
  2355 
  2356 * Theory Library/Old_Recdef: old 'recdef' package has been moved here,
  2357 from where it must be imported explicitly if it is really required.
  2358 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2359 
  2360 * Theory Library/Wfrec: well-founded recursion combinator "wfrec" has
  2361 been moved here.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2362 
  2363 * Theory Library/Saturated provides type of numbers with saturated
  2364 arithmetic.
  2365 
  2366 * Theory Library/Product_Lattice defines a pointwise ordering for the
  2367 product type 'a * 'b, and provides instance proofs for various order
  2368 and lattice type classes.
  2369 
  2370 * Theory Library/Countable now provides the "countable_datatype" proof
  2371 method for proving "countable" class instances for datatypes.
  2372 
  2373 * Theory Library/Cset_Monad allows do notation for computable sets
  2374 (cset) via the generic monad ad-hoc overloading facility.
  2375 
  2376 * Library: Theories of common data structures are split into theories
  2377 for implementation, an invariant-ensuring type, and connection to an
  2378 abstract type. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2379 
  2380   - RBT is split into RBT and RBT_Mapping.
  2381   - AssocList is split and renamed into AList and AList_Mapping.
  2382   - DList is split into DList_Impl, DList, and DList_Cset.
  2383   - Cset is split into Cset and List_Cset.
  2384 
  2385 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity has been renamed to
  2386 Library/Extended_Nat, with name changes of the following types and
  2387 constants:
  2388 
  2389   type inat   ~> type enat
  2390   Fin         ~> enat
  2391   Infty       ~> infinity (overloaded)
  2392   iSuc        ~> eSuc
  2393   the_Fin     ~> the_enat
  2394 
  2395 Every theorem name containing "inat", "Fin", "Infty", or "iSuc" has
  2396 been renamed accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2397 
  2398 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: The euclidean_space type class now
  2399 fixes a constant "Basis :: 'a set" consisting of the standard
  2400 orthonormal basis for the type. Users now have the option of
  2401 quantifying over this set instead of using the "basis" function, e.g.
  2402 "ALL x:Basis. P x" vs "ALL i<DIM('a). P (basis i)".
  2403 
  2404 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Type "('a, 'b) cart" has been renamed
  2405 to "('a, 'b) vec" (the syntax "'a ^ 'b" remains unaffected). Constants
  2406 "Cart_nth" and "Cart_lambda" have been respectively renamed to
  2407 "vec_nth" and "vec_lambda"; theorems mentioning those names have
  2408 changed to match. Definition theorems for overloaded constants now use
  2409 the standard "foo_vec_def" naming scheme. A few other theorems have
  2410 been renamed as follows (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  2411 
  2412   Cart_eq          ~> vec_eq_iff
  2413   dist_nth_le_cart ~> dist_vec_nth_le
  2414   tendsto_vector   ~> vec_tendstoI
  2415   Cauchy_vector    ~> vec_CauchyI
  2416 
  2417 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Several duplicate theorems have been
  2418 removed, and other theorems have been renamed or replaced with more
  2419 general versions. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2473 * Session HOL-Probability:
  2474   - Caratheodory's extension lemma is now proved for ring_of_sets.
  2475   - Infinite products of probability measures are now available.
  2476   - Sigma closure is independent, if the generator is independent
  2477   - Use extended reals instead of positive extended
  2478     reals. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2509 *** Document preparation ***
  2510 
  2511 * Antiquotation @{rail} layouts railroad syntax diagrams, see also
  2512 isar-ref manual, both for description and actual application of the
  2513 same.
  2514 
  2515 * Antiquotation @{value} evaluates the given term and presents its
  2516 result.
  2517 
  2518 * Antiquotations: term style "isub" provides ad-hoc conversion of
  2519 variables x1, y23 into subscripted form x\<^isub>1,
  2520 y\<^isub>2\<^isub>3.
  2521 
  2522 * Predefined LaTeX macros for Isabelle symbols \<bind> and \<then>
  2523 (e.g. see ~~/src/HOL/Library/Monad_Syntax.thy).
  2524 
  2525 * Localized \isabellestyle switch can be used within blocks or groups
  2526 like this:
  2527 
  2528   \isabellestyle{it}  %preferred default
  2529   {\isabellestylett @{text "typewriter stuff"}}
  2530 
  2531 * Discontinued special treatment of hard tabulators.  Implicit
  2532 tab-width is now defined as 1.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for visual
  2533 layouts.
  2534 
  2535 
  2536 *** ML ***
  2537 
  2538 * The inner syntax of sort/type/term/prop supports inlined YXML
  2539 representations within quoted string tokens.  By encoding logical
  2540 entities via Term_XML (in ML or Scala) concrete syntax can be
  2541 bypassed, which is particularly useful for producing bits of text
  2542 under external program control.
  2543 
  2544 * Antiquotations for ML and document preparation are managed as theory
  2545 data, which requires explicit setup.
  2546 
  2547 * Isabelle_Process.is_active allows tools to check if the official
  2548 process wrapper is running (Isabelle/Scala/jEdit) or the old TTY loop
  2549 (better known as Proof General).
  2550 
  2551 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  2552 ProofContext is still available for some time as legacy alias.
  2553 
  2554 * Structure Timing provides various operations for timing; supersedes
  2555 former start_timing/end_timing etc.
  2556 
  2557 * Path.print is the official way to show file-system paths to users
  2558 (including quotes etc.).
  2559 
  2560 * Inner syntax: identifiers in parse trees of generic categories
  2561 "logic", "aprop", "idt" etc. carry position information (disguised as
  2562 type constraints).  Occasional INCOMPATIBILITY with non-compliant
  2563 translations that choke on unexpected type constraints.  Positions can
  2564 be stripped in ML translations via Syntax.strip_positions /
  2565 Syntax.strip_positions_ast, or via the syntax constant
  2566 "_strip_positions" within parse trees.  As last resort, positions can
  2567 be disabled via the configuration option Syntax.positions, which is
  2568 called "syntax_positions" in Isar attribute syntax.
  2569 
  2570 * Discontinued special status of various ML structures that contribute
  2571 to structure Syntax (Ast, Lexicon, Mixfix, Parser, Printer etc.): less
  2572 pervasive content, no inclusion in structure Syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  2573 refer directly to Ast.Constant, Lexicon.is_identifier,
  2574 Syntax_Trans.mk_binder_tr etc.
  2575 
  2576 * Typed print translation: discontinued show_sorts argument, which is
  2577 already available via context of "advanced" translation.
  2578 
  2579 * Refined PARALLEL_GOALS tactical: degrades gracefully for schematic
  2580 goal states; body tactic needs to address all subgoals uniformly.
  2581 
  2582 * Slightly more special eq_list/eq_set, with shortcut involving
  2583 pointer equality (assumes that eq relation is reflexive).
  2584 
  2585 * Classical tactics use proper Proof.context instead of historic types
  2586 claset/clasimpset.  Old-style declarations like addIs, addEs, addDs
  2587 operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type claset retains its use as
  2588 snapshot of the classical context, which can be recovered via
  2589 (put_claset HOL_cs) etc.  Type clasimpset has been discontinued.
  2590 INCOMPATIBILITY, classical tactics and derived proof methods require
  2591 proper Proof.context.
  2592 
  2593 
  2594 *** System ***
  2595 
  2596 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2, which was the last version
  2597 without proper multithreading and TimeLimit implementation.
  2598 
  2599 * Discontinued old lib/scripts/polyml-platform, which has been
  2600 obsolete since Isabelle2009-2.
  2601 
  2602 * Various optional external tools are referenced more robustly and
  2603 uniformly by explicit Isabelle settings as follows:
  2604 
  2605   ISABELLE_CSDP   (formerly CSDP_EXE)
  2606   ISABELLE_GHC    (formerly EXEC_GHC or GHC_PATH)
  2607   ISABELLE_OCAML  (formerly EXEC_OCAML)
  2608   ISABELLE_SWIPL  (formerly EXEC_SWIPL)
  2609   ISABELLE_YAP    (formerly EXEC_YAP)
  2610 
  2611 Note that automated detection from the file-system or search path has
  2612 been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2613 
  2614 * Scala layer provides JVM method invocation service for static
  2615 methods of type (String)String, see Invoke_Scala.method in ML.  For
  2616 example:
  2617 
  2618   Invoke_Scala.method "java.lang.System.getProperty" "java.home"
  2619 
  2620 Together with YXML.string_of_body/parse_body and XML.Encode/Decode
  2621 this allows to pass structured values between ML and Scala.
  2622 
  2623 * The IsabelleText fonts includes some further glyphs to support the
  2624 Prover IDE.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: users who happen to have
  2625 installed a local copy (which is normally *not* required) need to
  2626 delete or update it from ~~/lib/fonts/.
  2627 
  2628 
  2629 
  2630 New in Isabelle2011 (January 2011)
  2631 ----------------------------------
  2632 
  2633 *** General ***
  2634 
  2635 * Experimental Prover IDE based on Isabelle/Scala and jEdit (see
  2636 src/Tools/jEdit).  This also serves as IDE for Isabelle/ML, with
  2637 useful tooltips and hyperlinks produced from its static analysis.  The
  2638 bundled component provides an executable Isabelle tool that can be run
  2639 like this:
  2640 
  2641   Isabelle2011/bin/isabelle jedit
  2642 
  2643 * Significantly improved Isabelle/Isar implementation manual.
  2644 
  2645 * System settings: ISABELLE_HOME_USER now includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER
  2646 (and thus refers to something like $HOME/.isabelle/Isabelle2011),
  2647 while the default heap location within that directory lacks that extra
  2648 suffix.  This isolates multiple Isabelle installations from each
  2649 other, avoiding problems with old settings in new versions.
  2650 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to copy/upgrade old user settings manually.
  2651 
  2652 * Source files are always encoded as UTF-8, instead of old-fashioned
  2653 ISO-Latin-1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Isabelle LaTeX documents might require
  2654 the following package declarations:
  2655 
  2656   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
  2657   \usepackage{textcomp}
  2658 
  2659 * Explicit treatment of UTF-8 sequences as Isabelle symbols, such that
  2660 a Unicode character is treated as a single symbol, not a sequence of
  2661 non-ASCII bytes as before.  Since Isabelle/ML string literals may
  2662 contain symbols without further backslash escapes, Unicode can now be
  2663 used here as well.  Recall that Symbol.explode in ML provides a
  2664 consistent view on symbols, while raw explode (or String.explode)
  2665 merely give a byte-oriented representation.
  2666 
  2667 * Theory loader: source files are primarily located via the master
  2668 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  2669 The global load path is still partially available as legacy feature.
  2670 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY due to subtle change in file lookup: use
  2671 explicit paths, relatively to the theory.
  2672 
  2673 * Special treatment of ML file names has been discontinued.
  2674 Historically, optional extensions .ML or .sml were added on demand --
  2675 at the cost of clarity of file dependencies.  Recall that Isabelle/ML
  2676 files exclusively use the .ML extension.  Minor INCOMPATIBILTY.
  2677 
  2678 * Various options that affect pretty printing etc. are now properly
  2679 handled within the context via configuration options, instead of
  2680 unsynchronized references or print modes.  There are both ML Config.T
  2681 entities and Isar declaration attributes to access these.
  2682 
  2683   ML (Config.T)                 Isar (attribute)
  2684 
  2685   eta_contract                  eta_contract
  2686   show_brackets                 show_brackets
  2687   show_sorts                    show_sorts
  2688   show_types                    show_types
  2689   show_question_marks           show_question_marks
  2690   show_consts                   show_consts
  2691   show_abbrevs                  show_abbrevs
  2692 
  2693   Syntax.ast_trace              syntax_ast_trace
  2694   Syntax.ast_stat               syntax_ast_stat
  2695   Syntax.ambiguity_level        syntax_ambiguity_level
  2696 
  2697   Goal_Display.goals_limit      goals_limit
  2698   Goal_Display.show_main_goal   show_main_goal
  2699 
  2700   Method.rule_trace             rule_trace
  2701 
  2702   Thy_Output.display            thy_output_display
  2703   Thy_Output.quotes             thy_output_quotes
  2704   Thy_Output.indent             thy_output_indent
  2705   Thy_Output.source             thy_output_source
  2706   Thy_Output.break              thy_output_break
  2707 
  2708 Note that corresponding "..._default" references in ML may only be
  2709 changed globally at the ROOT session setup, but *not* within a theory.
  2710 The option "show_abbrevs" supersedes the former print mode
  2711 "no_abbrevs" with inverted meaning.
  2712 
  2713 * More systematic naming of some configuration options.
  2714 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2715 
  2716   trace_simp  ~>  simp_trace
  2717   debug_simp  ~>  simp_debug
  2718 
  2719 * Support for real valued configuration options, using simplistic
  2720 floating-point notation that coincides with the inner syntax for
  2721 float_token.
  2722 
  2723 * Support for real valued preferences (with approximative PGIP type):
  2724 front-ends need to accept "pgint" values in float notation.
  2725 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2726 
  2727 * The IsabelleText font now includes Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic from
  2728 DejaVu Sans.
  2729 
  2730 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.0 and 5.1 versions.
  2731 
  2732 
  2733 *** Pure ***
  2734 
  2735 * Command 'type_synonym' (with single argument) replaces somewhat
  2736 outdated 'types', which is still available as legacy feature for some
  2737 time.
  2738 
  2739 * Command 'nonterminal' (with 'and' separated list of arguments)
  2740 replaces somewhat outdated 'nonterminals'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2741 
  2742 * Command 'notepad' replaces former 'example_proof' for
  2743 experimentation in Isar without any result.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2744 
  2745 * Locale interpretation commands 'interpret' and 'sublocale' accept
  2746 lists of equations to map definitions in a locale to appropriate
  2747 entities in the context of the interpretation.  The 'interpretation'
  2748 command already provided this functionality.
  2749 
  2750 * Diagnostic command 'print_dependencies' prints the locale instances
  2751 that would be activated if the specified expression was interpreted in
  2752 the current context.  Variant "print_dependencies!" assumes a context
  2753 without interpretations.
  2754 
  2755 * Diagnostic command 'print_interps' prints interpretations in proofs
  2756 in addition to interpretations in theories.
  2757 
  2758 * Discontinued obsolete 'global' and 'local' commands to manipulate
  2759 the theory name space.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.  The ML functions
  2760 Sign.root_path and Sign.local_path may be applied directly where this
  2761 feature is still required for historical reasons.
  2762 
  2763 * Discontinued obsolete 'constdefs' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  2764 'definition' instead.
  2765 
  2766 * The "prems" fact, which refers to the accidental collection of
  2767 foundational premises in the context, is now explicitly marked as
  2768 legacy feature and will be discontinued soon.  Consider using "assms"
  2769 of the head statement or reference facts by explicit names.
  2770 
  2771 * Document antiquotations @{class} and @{type} print classes and type
  2772 constructors.
  2773 
  2774 * Document antiquotation @{file} checks file/directory entries within
  2775 the local file system.
  2776 
  2777 
  2778 *** HOL ***
  2779 
  2780 * Coercive subtyping: functions can be declared as coercions and type
  2781 inference will add them as necessary upon input of a term.  Theory
  2782 Complex_Main declares real :: nat => real and real :: int => real as
  2783 coercions. A coercion function f is declared like this:
  2784 
  2785   declare [[coercion f]]
  2786 
  2787 To lift coercions through type constructors (e.g. from nat => real to
  2788 nat list => real list), map functions can be declared, e.g.
  2789 
  2790   declare [[coercion_map map]]
  2791 
  2792 Currently coercion inference is activated only in theories including
  2793 real numbers, i.e. descendants of Complex_Main.  This is controlled by
  2794 the configuration option "coercion_enabled", e.g. it can be enabled in
  2795 other theories like this:
  2796 
  2797   declare [[coercion_enabled]]
  2798 
  2799 * Command 'partial_function' provides basic support for recursive
  2800 function definitions over complete partial orders.  Concrete instances
  2801 are provided for i) the option type, ii) tail recursion on arbitrary
  2802 types, and iii) the heap monad of Imperative_HOL.  See
  2803 src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy and src/HOL/Imperative_HOL/ex/Linked_Lists.thy
  2804 for examples.
  2805 
  2806 * Function package: f.psimps rules are no longer implicitly declared
  2807 as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2808 
  2809 * Datatype package: theorems generated for executable equality (class
  2810 "eq") carry proper names and are treated as default code equations.
  2811 
  2812 * Inductive package: now offers command 'inductive_simps' to
  2813 automatically derive instantiated and simplified equations for
  2814 inductive predicates, similar to 'inductive_cases'.
  2815 
  2816 * Command 'enriched_type' allows to register properties of the
  2817 functorial structure of types.
  2818 
  2819 * Improved infrastructure for term evaluation using code generator
  2820 techniques, in particular static evaluation conversions.
  2821 
  2822 * Code generator: Scala (2.8 or higher) has been added to the target
  2823 languages.
  2824 
  2825 * Code generator: globbing constant expressions "*" and "Theory.*"
  2826 have been replaced by the more idiomatic "_" and "Theory._".
  2827 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2828 
  2829 * Code generator: export_code without explicit file declaration prints
  2830 to standard output.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2831 
  2832 * Code generator: do not print function definitions for case
  2833 combinators any longer.
  2834 
  2835 * Code generator: simplification with rules determined with
  2836 src/Tools/Code/code_simp.ML and method "code_simp".
  2837 
  2838 * Code generator for records: more idiomatic representation of record
  2839 types.  Warning: records are not covered by ancient SML code
  2840 generation any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  In cases of need, a suitable
  2841 rep_datatype declaration helps to succeed then:
  2842 
  2843   record 'a foo = ...
  2844   ...
  2845   rep_datatype foo_ext ...
  2846 
  2847 * Records: logical foundation type for records does not carry a
  2848 '_type' suffix any longer (obsolete due to authentic syntax).
  2849 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2850 
  2851 * Quickcheck now by default uses exhaustive testing instead of random
  2852 testing.  Random testing can be invoked by "quickcheck [random]",
  2853 exhaustive testing by "quickcheck [exhaustive]".
  2854 
  2855 * Quickcheck instantiates polymorphic types with small finite
  2856 datatypes by default. This enables a simple execution mechanism to
  2857 handle quantifiers and function equality over the finite datatypes.
  2858 
  2859 * Quickcheck random generator has been renamed from "code" to
  2860 "random".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2861 
  2862 * Quickcheck now has a configurable time limit which is set to 30
  2863 seconds by default. This can be changed by adding [timeout = n] to the
  2864 quickcheck command. The time limit for Auto Quickcheck is still set
  2865 independently.
  2866 
  2867 * Quickcheck in locales considers interpretations of that locale for
  2868 counter example search.
  2869 
  2870 * Sledgehammer:
  2871   - Added "smt" and "remote_smt" provers based on the "smt" proof
  2872     method. See the Sledgehammer manual for details ("isabelle doc
  2873     sledgehammer").
  2874   - Renamed commands:
  2875     sledgehammer atp_info ~> sledgehammer running_provers
  2876     sledgehammer atp_kill ~> sledgehammer kill_provers
  2877     sledgehammer available_atps ~> sledgehammer available_provers
  2878     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2879   - Renamed options:
  2880     sledgehammer [atps = ...] ~> sledgehammer [provers = ...]
  2881     sledgehammer [atp = ...] ~> sledgehammer [prover = ...]
  2882     sledgehammer [timeout = 77 s] ~> sledgehammer [timeout = 77]
  2883     (and "ms" and "min" are no longer supported)
  2884     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2885 
  2886 * Nitpick:
  2887   - Renamed options:
  2888     nitpick [timeout = 77 s] ~> nitpick [timeout = 77]
  2889     nitpick [tac_timeout = 777 ms] ~> nitpick [tac_timeout = 0.777]
  2890     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2891   - Added support for partial quotient types.
  2892   - Added local versions of the "Nitpick.register_xxx" functions.
  2893   - Added "whack" option.
  2894   - Allow registration of quotient types as codatatypes.
  2895   - Improved "merge_type_vars" option to merge more types.
  2896   - Removed unsound "fast_descrs" option.
  2897   - Added custom symmetry breaking for datatypes, making it possible to reach
  2898     higher cardinalities.
  2899   - Prevent the expansion of too large definitions.
  2900 
  2901 * Proof methods "metis" and "meson" now have configuration options
  2902 "meson_trace", "metis_trace", and "metis_verbose" that can be enabled
  2903 to diagnose these tools. E.g.
  2904 
  2905     using [[metis_trace = true]]
  2906 
  2907 * Auto Solve: Renamed "Auto Solve Direct".  The tool is now available
  2908 manually as command 'solve_direct'.
  2909 
  2910 * The default SMT solver Z3 must be enabled explicitly (due to
  2911 licensing issues) by setting the environment variable
  2912 Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL in etc/settings of the component, for example.  For
  2913 commercial applications, the SMT solver CVC3 is provided as fall-back;
  2914 changing the SMT solver is done via the configuration option
  2915 "smt_solver".
  2916 
  2917 * Remote SMT solvers need to be referred to by the "remote_" prefix,
  2918 i.e. "remote_cvc3" and "remote_z3".
  2919 
  2920 * Added basic SMT support for datatypes, records, and typedefs using
  2921 the oracle mode (no proofs).  Direct support of pairs has been dropped
  2922 in exchange (pass theorems fst_conv snd_conv pair_collapse to the SMT
  2923 support for a similar behavior).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2924 
  2925 * Changed SMT configuration options:
  2926   - Renamed:
  2927     z3_proofs ~> smt_oracle (with inverted meaning)
  2928     z3_trace_assms ~> smt_trace_used_facts
  2929     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2930   - Added:
  2931     smt_verbose
  2932     smt_random_seed
  2933     smt_datatypes
  2934     smt_infer_triggers
  2935     smt_monomorph_limit
  2936     cvc3_options
  2937     remote_cvc3_options
  2938     remote_z3_options

  2940 
  2941 * Boogie output files (.b2i files) need to be declared in the theory
  2942 header.
  2943 
  2944 * Simplification procedure "list_to_set_comprehension" rewrites list
  2945 comprehensions applied to List.set to set comprehensions.  Occasional
  2946 INCOMPATIBILITY, may be deactivated like this:
  2947 
  2948   declare [[simproc del: list_to_set_comprehension]]
  2949 
  2950 * Removed old version of primrec package.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2951 
  2952 * Removed simplifier congruence rule of "prod_case", as has for long
  2953 been the case with "split".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2954 
  2955 * String.literal is a type, but not a datatype.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2956 
  2957 * Removed [split_format ... and ... and ...] version of
  2958 [split_format].  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2959 
  2960 * Predicate "sorted" now defined inductively, with nice induction
  2961 rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY: former sorted.simps now named sorted_simps.
  2962 
  2963 * Constant "contents" renamed to "the_elem", to free the generic name
  2964 contents for other uses.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2965 
  2966 * Renamed class eq and constant eq (for code generation) to class
  2967 equal and constant equal, plus renaming of related facts and various
  2968 tuning.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2969 
  2970 * Dropped type classes mult_mono and mult_mono1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2971 
  2972 * Removed output syntax "'a ~=> 'b" for "'a => 'b option".
  2973 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2974 
  2975 * Renamed theory Fset to Cset, type Fset.fset to Cset.set, in order to
  2976 avoid confusion with finite sets.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2977 
  2978 * Abandoned locales equiv, congruent and congruent2 for equivalence
  2979 relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use equivI rather than equiv_intro (same
  2980 for congruent(2)).
  2981 
  2982 * Some previously unqualified names have been qualified:
  2983 
  2984   types
  2985     bool ~> HOL.bool
  2986     nat ~> Nat.nat

  3011     Collect ~> Set.Collect
  3012 
  3013 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3014 
  3015 * More canonical naming convention for some fundamental definitions:
  3016 
  3017     bot_bool_eq ~> bot_bool_def
  3018     top_bool_eq ~> top_bool_def
  3019     inf_bool_eq ~> inf_bool_def
  3020     sup_bool_eq ~> sup_bool_def

  3023     inf_fun_eq  ~> inf_fun_def
  3024     sup_fun_eq  ~> sup_fun_def
  3025 
  3026 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3027 
  3028 * More stylized fact names:
  3029 
  3030   expand_fun_eq ~> fun_eq_iff
  3031   expand_set_eq ~> set_eq_iff
  3032   set_ext       ~> set_eqI
  3033   nat_number    ~> eval_nat_numeral
  3034 
  3035 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3036 
  3037 * Refactoring of code-generation specific operations in theory List:
  3038 
  3039   constants
  3040     null ~> List.null
  3041 
  3042   facts
  3043     mem_iff ~> member_def
  3044     null_empty ~> null_def
  3045 
  3046 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that these were not supposed to be used
  3047 regularly unless for striking reasons; their main purpose was code
  3048 generation.
  3049 
  3050 Various operations from the Haskell prelude are used for generating
  3051 Haskell code.
  3052 
  3053 * Term "bij f" is now an abbreviation of "bij_betw f UNIV UNIV".  Term
  3054 "surj f" is now an abbreviation of "range f = UNIV".  The theorems
  3055 bij_def and surj_def are unchanged.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3056 
  3057 * Abolished some non-alphabetic type names: "prod" and "sum" replace
  3058 "*" and "+" respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3059 
  3060 * Name "Plus" of disjoint sum operator "<+>" is now hidden.  Write
  3061 "Sum_Type.Plus" instead.
  3062 
  3063 * Constant "split" has been merged with constant "prod_case"; names of
  3064 ML functions, facts etc. involving split have been retained so far,
  3065 though.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3066 
  3067 * Dropped old infix syntax "_ mem _" for List.member; use "_ : set _"
  3068 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3069 
  3070 * Removed lemma "Option.is_none_none" which duplicates "is_none_def".
  3071 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3072 
  3073 * Former theory Library/Enum is now part of the HOL-Main image.
  3074 INCOMPATIBILITY: all constants of the Enum theory now have to be
  3075 referred to by its qualified name.
  3076 
  3077   enum    ~>  Enum.enum
  3078   nlists  ~>  Enum.nlists
  3079   product ~>  Enum.product
  3080 
  3081 * Theory Library/Monad_Syntax provides do-syntax for monad types.
  3082 Syntax in Library/State_Monad has been changed to avoid ambiguities.
  3083 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3084 
  3085 * Theory Library/SetsAndFunctions has been split into
  3086 Library/Function_Algebras and Library/Set_Algebras; canonical names
  3087 for instance definitions for functions; various improvements.
  3088 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3089 
  3090 * Theory Library/Multiset provides stable quicksort implementation of
  3091 sort_key.
  3092 
  3093 * Theory Library/Multiset: renamed empty_idemp ~> empty_neutral.
  3094 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3095 
  3096 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: introduced a type class for euclidean
  3097 space.  Most theorems are now stated in terms of euclidean spaces
  3098 instead of finite cartesian products.
  3099 
  3100   types
  3101     real ^ 'n ~>  'a::real_vector
  3102               ~>  'a::euclidean_space
  3103               ~>  'a::ordered_euclidean_space
  3104         (depends on your needs)
  3105 
  3106   constants
  3107      _ $ _        ~> _ $$ _
  3108      \<chi> x. _  ~> \<chi>\<chi> x. _
  3109      CARD('n)     ~> DIM('a)
  3110 
  3111 Also note that the indices are now natural numbers and not from some
  3112 finite type. Finite cartesian products of euclidean spaces, products
  3113 of euclidean spaces the real and complex numbers are instantiated to
  3114 be euclidean_spaces.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3115 
  3116 * Session Probability: introduced pextreal as positive extended real
  3117 numbers.  Use pextreal as value for measures.  Introduce the
  3118 Radon-Nikodym derivative, product spaces and Fubini's theorem for
  3119 arbitrary sigma finite measures.  Introduces Lebesgue measure based on
  3120 the integral in Multivariate Analysis.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3121 
  3122 * Session Imperative_HOL: revamped, corrected dozens of inadequacies.
  3123 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3124 
  3125 * Session SPARK (with image HOL-SPARK) provides commands to load and
  3126 prove verification conditions generated by the SPARK Ada program
  3127 verifier.  See also src/HOL/SPARK and src/HOL/SPARK/Examples.
  3128 
  3129 
  3130 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  3131 
  3132 * Theorems for additive ring operations (locale abelian_monoid and
  3133 descendants) are generated by interpretation from their multiplicative
  3134 counterparts.  Names (in particular theorem names) have the mandatory
  3135 qualifier 'add'.  Previous theorem names are redeclared for
  3136 compatibility.
  3137 
  3138 * Structure "int_ring" is now an abbreviation (previously a
  3139 definition).  This fits more natural with advanced interpretations.
  3140 
  3141 
  3142 *** HOLCF ***
  3143 
  3144 * The domain package now runs in definitional mode by default: The
  3145 former command 'new_domain' is now called 'domain'.  To use the domain
  3146 package in its original axiomatic mode, use 'domain (unsafe)'.
  3147 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3148 
  3149 * The new class "domain" is now the default sort.  Class "predomain"
  3150 is an unpointed version of "domain". Theories can be updated by
  3151 replacing sort annotations as shown below.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3152 
  3153   'a::type ~> 'a::countable
  3154   'a::cpo  ~> 'a::predomain
  3155   'a::pcpo ~> 'a::domain
  3156 
  3157 * The old type class "rep" has been superseded by class "domain".
  3158 Accordingly, users of the definitional package must remove any
  3159 "default_sort rep" declarations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3160 
  3161 * The domain package (definitional mode) now supports unpointed
  3162 predomain argument types, as long as they are marked 'lazy'. (Strict
  3163 arguments must be in class "domain".) For example, the following
  3164 domain definition now works:
  3165 
  3166   domain natlist = nil | cons (lazy "nat discr") (lazy "natlist")
  3167 
  3168 * Theory HOLCF/Library/HOL_Cpo provides cpo and predomain class
  3169 instances for types from main HOL: bool, nat, int, char, 'a + 'b,
  3170 'a option, and 'a list.  Additionally, it configures fixrec and the
  3171 domain package to work with these types.  For example:
  3172 
  3173   fixrec isInl :: "('a + 'b) u -> tr"
  3174     where "isInl$(up$(Inl x)) = TT" | "isInl$(up$(Inr y)) = FF"
  3175 
  3176   domain V = VFun (lazy "V -> V") | VCon (lazy "nat") (lazy "V list")
  3177 
  3178 * The "(permissive)" option of fixrec has been replaced with a
  3179 per-equation "(unchecked)" option. See
  3180 src/HOL/HOLCF/Tutorial/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3181 
  3182 * The "bifinite" class no longer fixes a constant "approx"; the class
  3183 now just asserts that such a function exists.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3184 
  3185 * Former type "alg_defl" has been renamed to "defl".  HOLCF no longer
  3186 defines an embedding of type 'a defl into udom by default; instances
  3187 of "bifinite" and "domain" classes are available in
  3188 src/HOL/HOLCF/Library/Defl_Bifinite.thy.
  3189 
  3190 * The syntax "REP('a)" has been replaced with "DEFL('a)".
  3191 
  3192 * The predicate "directed" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3193 
  3194 * The type class "finite_po" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3195 
  3196 * The function "cprod_map" has been renamed to "prod_map".
  3197 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3198 
  3199 * The monadic bind operator on each powerdomain has new binder syntax
  3200 similar to sets, e.g. "\<Union>\<sharp>x\<in>xs. t" represents
  3201 "upper_bind\<cdot>xs\<cdot>(\<Lambda> x. t)".
  3202 
  3203 * The infix syntax for binary union on each powerdomain has changed
  3204 from e.g. "+\<sharp>" to "\<union>\<sharp>", for consistency with set
  3205 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3206 
  3207 * The constant "UU" has been renamed to "bottom".  The syntax "UU" is
  3208 still supported as an input translation.
  3209 
  3210 * Renamed some theorems (the original names are also still available).
  3211 
  3212   expand_fun_below   ~> fun_below_iff
  3213   below_fun_ext      ~> fun_belowI
  3214   expand_cfun_eq     ~> cfun_eq_iff
  3215   ext_cfun           ~> cfun_eqI
  3216   expand_cfun_below  ~> cfun_below_iff
  3217   below_cfun_ext     ~> cfun_belowI
  3218   cont2cont_Rep_CFun ~> cont2cont_APP
  3219 
  3220 * The Abs and Rep functions for various types have changed names.
  3221 Related theorem names have also changed to match. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3222 
  3223   Rep_CFun  ~> Rep_cfun
  3224   Abs_CFun  ~> Abs_cfun
  3225   Rep_Sprod ~> Rep_sprod
  3226   Abs_Sprod ~> Abs_sprod
  3227   Rep_Ssum  ~> Rep_ssum
  3228   Abs_Ssum  ~> Abs_ssum
  3229 
  3230 * Lemmas with names of the form *_defined_iff or *_strict_iff have
  3231 been renamed to *_bottom_iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3232 
  3233 * Various changes to bisimulation/coinduction with domain package:
  3234 
  3235   - Definitions of "bisim" constants no longer mention definedness.
  3236   - With mutual recursion, "bisim" predicate is now curried.
  3237   - With mutual recursion, each type gets a separate coind theorem.
  3238   - Variable names in bisim_def and coinduct rules have changed.
  3239 
  3240 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3241 
  3242 * Case combinators generated by the domain package for type "foo" are
  3243 now named "foo_case" instead of "foo_when".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3244 
  3245 * Several theorems have been renamed to more accurately reflect the
  3246 names of constants and types involved.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3318 *** FOL and ZF ***
  3319 
  3320 * All constant names are now qualified internally and use proper
  3321 identifiers, e.g. "IFOL.eq" instead of "op =".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3322 
  3323 
  3324 *** ML ***
  3325 
  3326 * Antiquotation @{assert} inlines a function bool -> unit that raises
  3327 Fail if the argument is false.  Due to inlining the source position of
  3328 failed assertions is included in the error output.
  3329 
  3330 * Discontinued antiquotation @{theory_ref}, which is obsolete since ML
  3331 text is in practice always evaluated with a stable theory checkpoint.
  3332 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use (Theory.check_thy @{theory}) instead.
  3333 
  3334 * Antiquotation @{theory A} refers to theory A from the ancestry of
  3335 the current context, not any accidental theory loader state as before.
  3336 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, subtle change in semantics.
  3337 
  3338 * Syntax.pretty_priority (default 0) configures the required priority
  3339 of pretty-printed output and thus affects insertion of parentheses.
  3340 
  3341 * Syntax.default_root (default "any") configures the inner syntax
  3342 category (nonterminal symbol) for parsing of terms.
  3343 
  3344 * Former exception Library.UnequalLengths now coincides with
  3345 ListPair.UnequalLengths.
  3346 
  3347 * Renamed structure MetaSimplifier to Raw_Simplifier.  Note that the
  3348 main functionality is provided by structure Simplifier.
  3349 
  3350 * Renamed raw "explode" function to "raw_explode" to emphasize its
  3351 meaning.  Note that internally to Isabelle, Symbol.explode is used in
  3352 almost all situations.
  3353 
  3354 * Discontinued obsolete function sys_error and exception SYS_ERROR.
  3355 See implementation manual for further details on exceptions in
  3356 Isabelle/ML.
  3357 
  3358 * Renamed setmp_noncritical to Unsynchronized.setmp to emphasize its
  3359 meaning.
  3360 
  3361 * Renamed structure PureThy to Pure_Thy and moved most of its
  3362 operations to structure Global_Theory, to emphasize that this is
  3363 rarely-used global-only stuff.
  3364 
  3365 * Discontinued Output.debug.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use plain writeln
  3366 instead (or tracing for high-volume output).
  3367 
  3368 * Configuration option show_question_marks only affects regular pretty
  3369 printing of types and terms, not raw Term.string_of_vname.
  3370 
  3371 * ML_Context.thm and ML_Context.thms are no longer pervasive.  Rare
  3372 INCOMPATIBILITY, superseded by static antiquotations @{thm} and
  3373 @{thms} for most purposes.
  3374 
  3375 * ML structure Unsynchronized is never opened, not even in Isar
  3376 interaction mode as before.  Old Unsynchronized.set etc. have been
  3377 discontinued -- use plain := instead.  This should be *rare* anyway,
  3378 since modern tools always work via official context data, notably
  3379 configuration options.
  3380 
  3381 * Parallel and asynchronous execution requires special care concerning
  3382 interrupts.  Structure Exn provides some convenience functions that
  3383 avoid working directly with raw Interrupt.  User code must not absorb
  3384 interrupts -- intermediate handling (for cleanup etc.) needs to be
  3385 followed by re-raising of the original exception.  Another common
  3386 source of mistakes are "handle _" patterns, which make the meaning of
  3387 the program subject to physical effects of the environment.

  3390 
  3391 New in Isabelle2009-2 (June 2010)
  3392 ---------------------------------
  3393 
  3394 *** General ***
  3395 
  3396 * Authentic syntax for *all* logical entities (type classes, type
  3397 constructors, term constants): provides simple and robust
  3398 correspondence between formal entities and concrete syntax.  Within
  3399 the parse tree / AST representations, "constants" are decorated by
  3400 their category (class, type, const) and spelled out explicitly with
  3401 their full internal name.
  3402 
  3403 Substantial INCOMPATIBILITY concerning low-level syntax declarations
  3404 and translations (translation rules and translation functions in ML).
  3405 Some hints on upgrading:
  3406 
  3407   - Many existing uses of 'syntax' and 'translations' can be replaced
  3408     by more modern 'type_notation', 'notation' and 'abbreviation',
  3409     which are independent of this issue.
  3410 
  3411   - 'translations' require markup within the AST; the term syntax
  3412     provides the following special forms:
  3413 
  3414       CONST c   -- produces syntax version of constant c from context
  3415       XCONST c  -- literally c, checked as constant from context
  3416       c         -- literally c, if declared by 'syntax'
  3417 
  3418     Plain identifiers are treated as AST variables -- occasionally the
  3419     system indicates accidental variables via the error "rhs contains
  3420     extra variables".
  3421 
  3422     Type classes and type constructors are marked according to their
  3423     concrete syntax.  Some old translations rules need to be written
  3424     for the "type" category, using type constructor application
  3425     instead of pseudo-term application of the default category
  3426     "logic".
  3427 
  3428   - 'parse_translation' etc. in ML may use the following
  3429     antiquotations:
  3430 
  3431       @{class_syntax c}   -- type class c within parse tree / AST
  3432       @{term_syntax c}    -- type constructor c within parse tree / AST
  3433       @{const_syntax c}   -- ML version of "CONST c" above
  3434       @{syntax_const c}   -- literally c (checked wrt. 'syntax' declarations)
  3435 
  3436   - Literal types within 'typed_print_translations', i.e. those *not*
  3437     represented as pseudo-terms are represented verbatim.  Use @{class
  3438     c} or @{type_name c} here instead of the above syntax
  3439     antiquotations.
  3440 
  3441 Note that old non-authentic syntax was based on unqualified base
  3442 names, so all of the above "constant" names would coincide.  Recall
  3443 that 'print_syntax' and ML_command "set Syntax.trace_ast" help to
  3444 diagnose syntax problems.
  3445 
  3446 * Type constructors admit general mixfix syntax, not just infix.
  3447 
  3448 * Concrete syntax may be attached to local entities without a proof
  3449 body, too.  This works via regular mixfix annotations for 'fix',
  3450 'def', 'obtain' etc. or via the explicit 'write' command, which is
  3451 similar to the 'notation' command in theory specifications.
  3452 
  3453 * Discontinued unnamed infix syntax (legacy feature for many years) --
  3454 need to specify constant name and syntax separately.  Internal ML
  3455 datatype constructors have been renamed from InfixName to Infix etc.
  3456 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3457 
  3458 * Schematic theorem statements need to be explicitly markup as such,
  3459 via commands 'schematic_lemma', 'schematic_theorem',
  3460 'schematic_corollary'.  Thus the relevance of the proof is made
  3461 syntactically clear, which impacts performance in a parallel or
  3462 asynchronous interactive environment.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3463 
  3464 * Use of cumulative prems via "!" in some proof methods has been
  3465 discontinued (old legacy feature).
  3466 
  3467 * References 'trace_simp' and 'debug_simp' have been replaced by
  3468 configuration options stored in the context. Enabling tracing (the
  3469 case of debugging is similar) in proofs works via
  3470 
  3471   using [[trace_simp = true]]
  3472 
  3473 Tracing is then active for all invocations of the simplifier in
  3474 subsequent goal refinement steps. Tracing may also still be enabled or
  3475 disabled via the ProofGeneral settings menu.
  3476 
  3477 * Separate commands 'hide_class', 'hide_type', 'hide_const',
  3478 'hide_fact' replace the former 'hide' KIND command.  Minor
  3479 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3480 
  3481 * Improved parallelism of proof term normalization: usedir -p2 -q0 is
  3482 more efficient than combinations with -q1 or -q2.
  3483 
  3484 
  3485 *** Pure ***
  3486 
  3487 * Proofterms record type-class reasoning explicitly, using the
  3488 "unconstrain" operation internally.  This eliminates all sort
  3489 constraints from a theorem and proof, introducing explicit
  3490 OFCLASS-premises.  On the proof term level, this operation is
  3491 automatically applied at theorem boundaries, such that closed proofs
  3492 are always free of sort constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools that
  3493 inspect proof terms.
  3494 
  3495 * Local theory specifications may depend on extra type variables that
  3496 are not present in the result type -- arguments TYPE('a) :: 'a itself
  3497 are added internally.  For example:
  3498 
  3499   definition unitary :: bool where "unitary = (ALL (x::'a) y. x = y)"
  3500 
  3501 * Predicates of locales introduced by classes carry a mandatory
  3502 "class" prefix.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3503 
  3504 * Vacuous class specifications observe default sort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3505 
  3506 * Old 'axclass' command has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  3507 'class' instead.
  3508 
  3509 * Command 'code_reflect' allows to incorporate generated ML code into
  3510 runtime environment; replaces immature code_datatype antiquotation.
  3511 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3512 
  3513 * Code generator: simple concept for abstract datatypes obeying
  3514 invariants.
  3515 
  3516 * Code generator: details of internal data cache have no impact on the
  3517 user space functionality any longer.
  3518 
  3519 * Methods "unfold_locales" and "intro_locales" ignore non-locale
  3520 subgoals.  This is more appropriate for interpretations with 'where'.
  3521 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3522 
  3523 * Command 'example_proof' opens an empty proof body.  This allows to
  3524 experiment with Isar, without producing any persistent result.
  3525 
  3526 * Commands 'type_notation' and 'no_type_notation' declare type syntax
  3527 within a local theory context, with explicit checking of the
  3528 constructors involved (in contrast to the raw 'syntax' versions).
  3529 
  3530 * Commands 'types' and 'typedecl' now work within a local theory
  3531 context -- without introducing dependencies on parameters or
  3532 assumptions, which is not possible in Isabelle/Pure.
  3533 
  3534 * Command 'defaultsort' has been renamed to 'default_sort', it works
  3535 within a local theory context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3536 
  3537 
  3538 *** HOL ***
  3539 
  3540 * Command 'typedef' now works within a local theory context -- without
  3541 introducing dependencies on parameters or assumptions, which is not
  3542 possible in Isabelle/Pure/HOL.  Note that the logical environment may
  3543 contain multiple interpretations of local typedefs (with different
  3544 non-emptiness proofs), even in a global theory context.
  3545 
  3546 * New package for quotient types.  Commands 'quotient_type' and
  3547 'quotient_definition' may be used for defining types and constants by
  3548 quotient constructions.  An example is the type of integers created by
  3549 quotienting pairs of natural numbers:
  3550 
  3551   fun
  3552     intrel :: "(nat * nat) => (nat * nat) => bool"
  3553   where
  3554     "intrel (x, y) (u, v) = (x + v = u + y)"
  3555 
  3556   quotient_type int = "nat * nat" / intrel
  3557     by (auto simp add: equivp_def expand_fun_eq)
  3558 
  3559   quotient_definition
  3560     "0::int" is "(0::nat, 0::nat)"
  3561 
  3562 The method "lifting" can be used to lift of theorems from the
  3563 underlying "raw" type to the quotient type.  The example
  3564 src/HOL/Quotient_Examples/FSet.thy includes such a quotient
  3565 construction and provides a reasoning infrastructure for finite sets.
  3566 
  3567 * Renamed Library/Quotient.thy to Library/Quotient_Type.thy to avoid
  3568 clash with new theory Quotient in Main HOL.
  3569 
  3570 * Moved the SMT binding into the main HOL session, eliminating
  3571 separate HOL-SMT session.
  3572 
  3573 * List membership infix mem operation is only an input abbreviation.
  3574 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3575 
  3576 * Theory Library/Word.thy has been removed.  Use library Word/Word.thy
  3577 for future developements; former Library/Word.thy is still present in
  3578 the AFP entry RSAPPS.
  3579 
  3580 * Theorem Int.int_induct renamed to Int.int_of_nat_induct and is no
  3581 longer shadowed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3582 
  3583 * Dropped theorem duplicate comp_arith; use semiring_norm instead.
  3584 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3585 
  3586 * Dropped theorem RealPow.real_sq_order; use power2_le_imp_le instead.
  3587 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3588 
  3589 * Dropped normalizing_semiring etc; use the facts in semiring classes
  3590 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3591 
  3592 * Dropped several real-specific versions of lemmas about floor and
  3593 ceiling; use the generic lemmas from theory "Archimedean_Field"
  3594 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3627 * Theory "Finite_Set": various folding_XXX locales facilitate the
  3628 application of the various fold combinators on finite sets.
  3629 
  3630 * Library theory "RBT" renamed to "RBT_Impl"; new library theory "RBT"
  3631 provides abstract red-black tree type which is backed by "RBT_Impl" as
  3632 implementation.  INCOMPATIBILTY.
  3633 
  3634 * Theory Library/Coinductive_List has been removed -- superseded by
  3635 AFP/thys/Coinductive.
  3636 
  3637 * Theory PReal, including the type "preal" and related operations, has
  3638 been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3639 
  3640 * Real: new development using Cauchy Sequences.
  3641 
  3642 * Split off theory "Big_Operators" containing setsum, setprod,
  3643 Inf_fin, Sup_fin, Min, Max from theory Finite_Set.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3644 
  3645 * Theory "Rational" renamed to "Rat", for consistency with "Nat",
  3646 "Int" etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3647 
  3648 * Constant Rat.normalize needs to be qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3649 
  3650 * New set of rules "ac_simps" provides combined assoc / commute
  3651 rewrites for all interpretations of the appropriate generic locales.
  3652 
  3653 * Renamed theory "OrderedGroup" to "Groups" and split theory
  3654 "Ring_and_Field" into theories "Rings" and "Fields"; for more
  3655 appropriate and more consistent names suitable for name prefixes
  3656 within the HOL theories.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3657 
  3658 * Some generic constants have been put to appropriate theories:
  3659   - less_eq, less: Orderings
  3660   - zero, one, plus, minus, uminus, times, abs, sgn: Groups
  3661   - inverse, divide: Rings
  3662 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3663 
  3664 * More consistent naming of type classes involving orderings (and
  3665 lattices):
  3666 
  3667     lower_semilattice                   ~> semilattice_inf

  3704 
  3705   The following slightly odd type classes have been moved to a
  3706   separate theory Library/Lattice_Algebras:

  3712     lordered_ring                       ~> lattice_ring
  3713 
  3714 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3715 
  3716 * Refined field classes:
  3717   - classes division_ring_inverse_zero, field_inverse_zero,
  3718     linordered_field_inverse_zero include rule inverse 0 = 0 --
  3719     subsumes former division_by_zero class;
  3720   - numerous lemmas have been ported from field to division_ring.
  3721 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3722 
  3723 * Refined algebra theorem collections:
  3724   - dropped theorem group group_simps, use algebra_simps instead;
  3725   - dropped theorem group ring_simps, use field_simps instead;
  3726   - proper theorem collection field_simps subsumes former theorem
  3727     groups field_eq_simps and field_simps;
  3728   - dropped lemma eq_minus_self_iff which is a duplicate for
  3729     equal_neg_zero.
  3730 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3731 
  3732 * Theory Finite_Set and List: some lemmas have been generalized from
  3733 sets to lattices:

  3745 
  3746 * Theory "Complete_Lattice": lemmas top_def and bot_def have been
  3747 replaced by the more convenient lemmas Inf_empty and Sup_empty.
  3748 Dropped lemmas Inf_insert_simp and Sup_insert_simp, which are subsumed
  3749 by Inf_insert and Sup_insert.  Lemmas Inf_UNIV and Sup_UNIV replace
  3750 former Inf_Univ and Sup_Univ.  Lemmas inf_top_right and sup_bot_right
  3751 subsume inf_top and sup_bot respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3752 
  3753 * Reorganized theory Multiset: swapped notation of pointwise and
  3754 multiset order:
  3755 
  3756   - pointwise ordering is instance of class order with standard syntax
  3757     <= and <;
  3758   - multiset ordering has syntax <=# and <#; partial order properties
  3759     are provided by means of interpretation with prefix
  3760     multiset_order;
  3761   - less duplication, less historical organization of sections,
  3762     conversion from associations lists to multisets, rudimentary code
  3763     generation;
  3764   - use insert_DiffM2 [symmetric] instead of elem_imp_eq_diff_union,
  3765     if needed.
  3766 
  3767 Renamed:
  3768 
  3769   multiset_eq_conv_count_eq  ~>  multiset_ext_iff
  3770   multi_count_ext  ~>  multiset_ext
  3771   diff_union_inverse2  ~>  diff_union_cancelR
  3772 
  3773 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3774 
  3775 * Theory Permutation: replaced local "remove" by List.remove1.
  3776 
  3777 * Code generation: ML and OCaml code is decorated with signatures.
  3778 
  3779 * Theory List: added transpose.
  3780 
  3781 * Library/Nat_Bijection.thy is a collection of bijective functions
  3782 between nat and other types, which supersedes the older libraries
  3783 Library/Nat_Int_Bij.thy and HOLCF/NatIso.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3813   Nat_Int_Bij.bij_int_to_nat_bij  ~> bij_int_decode
  3814 
  3815 * Sledgehammer:
  3816   - Renamed ATP commands:
  3817     atp_info     ~> sledgehammer running_atps
  3818     atp_kill     ~> sledgehammer kill_atps
  3819     atp_messages ~> sledgehammer messages
  3820     atp_minimize ~> sledgehammer minimize
  3821     print_atps   ~> sledgehammer available_atps
  3822     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3823   - Added user's manual ("isabelle doc sledgehammer").
  3824   - Added option syntax and "sledgehammer_params" to customize
  3825     Sledgehammer's behavior.  See the manual for details.
  3826   - Modified the Isar proof reconstruction code so that it produces
  3827     direct proofs rather than proofs by contradiction.  (This feature
  3828     is still experimental.)
  3829   - Made Isar proof reconstruction work for SPASS, remote ATPs, and in
  3830     full-typed mode.
  3831   - Added support for TPTP syntax for SPASS via the "spass_tptp" ATP.
  3832 
  3833 * Nitpick:
  3834   - Added and implemented "binary_ints" and "bits" options.
  3835   - Added "std" option and implemented support for nonstandard models.
  3836   - Added and implemented "finitize" option to improve the precision
  3837     of infinite datatypes based on a monotonicity analysis.
  3838   - Added support for quotient types.
  3839   - Added support for "specification" and "ax_specification"
  3840     constructs.
  3841   - Added support for local definitions (for "function" and
  3842     "termination" proofs).
  3843   - Added support for term postprocessors.
  3844   - Optimized "Multiset.multiset" and "FinFun.finfun".
  3845   - Improved efficiency of "destroy_constrs" optimization.
  3846   - Fixed soundness bugs related to "destroy_constrs" optimization and
  3847     record getters.
  3848   - Fixed soundness bug related to higher-order constructors.
  3849   - Fixed soundness bug when "full_descrs" is enabled.
  3850   - Improved precision of set constructs.
  3851   - Added "atoms" option.
  3852   - Added cache to speed up repeated Kodkod invocations on the same
  3853     problems.
  3854   - Renamed "MiniSatJNI", "zChaffJNI", "BerkMinAlloy", and
  3855     "SAT4JLight" to "MiniSat_JNI", "zChaff_JNI", "BerkMin_Alloy", and
  3856     "SAT4J_Light".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3857   - Removed "skolemize", "uncurry", "sym_break", "flatten_prop",
  3858     "sharing_depth", and "show_skolems" options.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3859   - Removed "nitpick_intro" attribute.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3860 
  3861 * Method "induct" now takes instantiations of the form t, where t is not
  3862   a variable, as a shorthand for "x == t", where x is a fresh variable.
  3863   If this is not intended, t has to be enclosed in parentheses.
  3864   By default, the equalities generated by definitional instantiations
  3865   are pre-simplified, which may cause parameters of inductive cases
  3866   to disappear, or may even delete some of the inductive cases.
  3867   Use "induct (no_simp)" instead of "induct" to restore the old
  3868   behaviour. The (no_simp) option is also understood by the "cases"
  3869   and "nominal_induct" methods, which now perform pre-simplification, too.
  3870   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3871 
  3872 
  3873 *** HOLCF ***
  3874 
  3875 * Variable names in lemmas generated by the domain package have
  3876 changed; the naming scheme is now consistent with the HOL datatype
  3877 package.  Some proof scripts may be affected, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3878 
  3879 * The domain package no longer defines the function "foo_copy" for
  3880 recursive domain "foo".  The reach lemma is now stated directly in
  3881 terms of "foo_take".  Lemmas and proofs that mention "foo_copy" must
  3882 be reformulated in terms of "foo_take", INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3883 
  3884 * Most definedness lemmas generated by the domain package (previously
  3885 of the form "x ~= UU ==> foo$x ~= UU") now have an if-and-only-if form
  3886 like "foo$x = UU <-> x = UU", which works better as a simp rule.
  3887 Proofs that used definedness lemmas as intro rules may break,
  3888 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3889 
  3890 * Induction and casedist rules generated by the domain package now
  3891 declare proper case_names (one called "bottom", and one named for each
  3892 constructor).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3893 
  3894 * For mutually-recursive domains, separate "reach" and "take_lemma"
  3895 rules are generated for each domain, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3896 
  3897   foo_bar.reach       ~> foo.reach  bar.reach
  3898   foo_bar.take_lemmas ~> foo.take_lemma  bar.take_lemma
  3899 
  3900 * Some lemmas generated by the domain package have been renamed for
  3901 consistency with the datatype package, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3902 
  3903   foo.ind        ~> foo.induct
  3904   foo.finite_ind ~> foo.finite_induct
  3905   foo.coind      ~> foo.coinduct
  3906   foo.casedist   ~> foo.exhaust
  3907   foo.exhaust    ~> foo.nchotomy
  3908 
  3909 * For consistency with other definition packages, the fixrec package
  3910 now generates qualified theorem names, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3911 
  3912   foo_simps  ~> foo.simps
  3913   foo_unfold ~> foo.unfold
  3914   foo_induct ~> foo.induct
  3915 
  3916 * The "fixrec_simp" attribute has been removed.  The "fixrec_simp"
  3917 method and internal fixrec proofs now use the default simpset instead.
  3918 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3919 
  3920 * The "contlub" predicate has been removed.  Proof scripts should use
  3921 lemma contI2 in place of monocontlub2cont, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3922 
  3923 * The "admw" predicate has been removed, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3924 
  3925 * The constants cpair, cfst, and csnd have been removed in favor of
  3926 Pair, fst, and snd from Isabelle/HOL, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3927 
  3928 
  3929 *** ML ***
  3930 
  3931 * Antiquotations for basic formal entities:
  3932 
  3933     @{class NAME}         -- type class
  3934     @{class_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of the above
  3935 
  3936     @{type_name NAME}     -- logical type
  3937     @{type_abbrev NAME}   -- type abbreviation
  3938     @{nonterminal NAME}   -- type of concrete syntactic category
  3939     @{type_syntax NAME}   -- syntax representation of any of the above
  3940 
  3941     @{const_name NAME}    -- logical constant (INCOMPATIBILITY)
  3942     @{const_abbrev NAME}  -- abbreviated constant
  3943     @{const_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of any of the above
  3944 
  3945 * Antiquotation @{syntax_const NAME} ensures that NAME refers to a raw
  3946 syntax constant (cf. 'syntax' command).
  3947 
  3948 * Antiquotation @{make_string} inlines a function to print arbitrary
  3949 values similar to the ML toplevel.  The result is compiler dependent
  3950 and may fall back on "?" in certain situations.
  3951 
  3952 * Diagnostic commands 'ML_val' and 'ML_command' may refer to
  3953 antiquotations @{Isar.state} and @{Isar.goal}.  This replaces impure
  3954 Isar.state() and Isar.goal(), which belong to the old TTY loop and do
  3955 not work with the asynchronous Isar document model.
  3956 
  3957 * Configuration options now admit dynamic default values, depending on
  3958 the context or even global references.
  3959 
  3960 * SHA1.digest digests strings according to SHA-1 (see RFC 3174).  It
  3961 uses an efficient external library if available (for Poly/ML).
  3962 
  3963 * Renamed some important ML structures, while keeping the old names
  3964 for some time as aliases within the structure Legacy:
  3965 
  3966   OuterKeyword  ~>  Keyword
  3967   OuterLex      ~>  Token
  3968   OuterParse    ~>  Parse
  3969   OuterSyntax   ~>  Outer_Syntax
  3970   PrintMode     ~>  Print_Mode
  3971   SpecParse     ~>  Parse_Spec
  3972   ThyInfo       ~>  Thy_Info
  3973   ThyLoad       ~>  Thy_Load
  3974   ThyOutput     ~>  Thy_Output
  3975   TypeInfer     ~>  Type_Infer
  3976 
  3977 Note that "open Legacy" simplifies porting of sources, but forgetting
  3978 to remove it again will complicate porting again in the future.
  3979 
  3980 * Most operations that refer to a global context are named
  3981 accordingly, e.g. Simplifier.global_context or
  3982 ProofContext.init_global.  There are some situations where a global
  3983 context actually works, but under normal circumstances one needs to
  3984 pass the proper local context through the code!
  3985 
  3986 * Discontinued old TheoryDataFun with its copy/init operation -- data
  3987 needs to be pure.  Functor Theory_Data_PP retains the traditional
  3988 Pretty.pp argument to merge, which is absent in the standard
  3989 Theory_Data version.
  3990 
  3991 * Sorts.certify_sort and derived "cert" operations for types and terms
  3992 no longer minimize sorts.  Thus certification at the boundary of the
  3993 inference kernel becomes invariant under addition of class relations,
  3994 which is an important monotonicity principle.  Sorts are now minimized
  3995 in the syntax layer only, at the boundary between the end-user and the
  3996 system.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY, may have to use Sign.minimize_sort
  3997 explicitly in rare situations.
  3998 
  3999 * Renamed old-style Drule.standard to Drule.export_without_context, to
  4000 emphasize that this is in no way a standard operation.
  4001 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4002 
  4003 * Subgoal.FOCUS (and variants): resulting goal state is normalized as
  4004 usual for resolution.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4005 
  4006 * Renamed varify/unvarify operations to varify_global/unvarify_global
  4007 to emphasize that these only work in a global situation (which is
  4008 quite rare).
  4009 
  4010 * Curried take and drop in library.ML; negative length is interpreted
  4011 as infinity (as in chop).  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4012 
  4013 * Proof terms: type substitutions on proof constants now use canonical
  4014 order of type variables.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools working with proof
  4015 terms.
  4016 
  4017 * Raw axioms/defs may no longer carry sort constraints, and raw defs
  4018 may no longer carry premises.  User-level specifications are
  4019 transformed accordingly by Thm.add_axiom/add_def.
  4020 
  4021 
  4022 *** System ***
  4023 
  4024 * Discontinued special HOL_USEDIR_OPTIONS for the main HOL image;
  4025 ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS applies uniformly to all sessions.  Note that
  4026 proof terms are enabled unconditionally in the new HOL-Proofs image.
  4027 
  4028 * Discontinued old ISABELLE and ISATOOL environment settings (legacy
  4029 feature since Isabelle2009).  Use ISABELLE_PROCESS and ISABELLE_TOOL,
  4030 respectively.
  4031 
  4032 * Old lib/scripts/polyml-platform is superseded by the
  4033 ISABELLE_PLATFORM setting variable, which defaults to the 32 bit
  4034 variant, even on a 64 bit machine.  The following example setting
  4035 prefers 64 bit if available:
  4036 
  4037   ML_PLATFORM="${ISABELLE_PLATFORM64:-$ISABELLE_PLATFORM}"
  4038 
  4039 * The preliminary Isabelle/jEdit application demonstrates the emerging
  4040 Isabelle/Scala layer for advanced prover interaction and integration.
  4041 See src/Tools/jEdit or "isabelle jedit" provided by the properly built
  4042 component.
  4043 
  4044 * "IsabelleText" is a Unicode font derived from Bitstream Vera Mono
  4045 and Bluesky TeX fonts.  It provides the usual Isabelle symbols,
  4046 similar to the default assignment of the document preparation system
  4047 (cf. isabellesym.sty).  The Isabelle/Scala class Isabelle_System
  4048 provides some operations for direct access to the font without asking
  4049 the user for manual installation.
  4050 
  4051 
  4052 
  4053 New in Isabelle2009-1 (December 2009)
  4054 -------------------------------------
  4055 
  4056 *** General ***
  4057 
  4058 * Discontinued old form of "escaped symbols" such as \\<forall>.  Only
  4059 one backslash should be used, even in ML sources.
  4060 
  4061 
  4062 *** Pure ***
  4063 
  4064 * Locale interpretation propagates mixins along the locale hierarchy.
  4065 The currently only available mixins are the equations used to map
  4066 local definitions to terms of the target domain of an interpretation.
  4067 
  4068 * Reactivated diagnostic command 'print_interps'.  Use "print_interps
  4069 loc" to print all interpretations of locale "loc" in the theory.
  4070 Interpretations in proofs are not shown.
  4071 
  4072 * Thoroughly revised locales tutorial.  New section on conditional
  4073 interpretation.
  4074 
  4075 * On instantiation of classes, remaining undefined class parameters
  4076 are formally declared.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4077 
  4078 
  4079 *** Document preparation ***
  4080 
  4081 * New generalized style concept for printing terms: @{foo (style) ...}
  4082 instead of @{foo_style style ...}  (old form is still retained for
  4083 backward compatibility).  Styles can be also applied for
  4084 antiquotations prop, term_type and typeof.
  4085 
  4086 
  4087 *** HOL ***
  4088 
  4089 * New proof method "smt" for a combination of first-order logic with
  4090 equality, linear and nonlinear (natural/integer/real) arithmetic, and
  4091 fixed-size bitvectors; there is also basic support for higher-order
  4092 features (esp. lambda abstractions).  It is an incomplete decision
  4093 procedure based on external SMT solvers using the oracle mechanism;
  4094 for the SMT solver Z3, this method is proof-producing.  Certificates
  4095 are provided to avoid calling the external solvers solely for
  4096 re-checking proofs.  Due to a remote SMT service there is no need for
  4097 installing SMT solvers locally.  See src/HOL/SMT.
  4098 
  4099 * New commands to load and prove verification conditions generated by
  4100 the Boogie program verifier or derived systems (e.g. the Verifying C
  4101 Compiler (VCC) or Spec#).  See src/HOL/Boogie.
  4102 
  4103 * New counterexample generator tool 'nitpick' based on the Kodkod
  4104 relational model finder.  See src/HOL/Tools/Nitpick and
  4105 src/HOL/Nitpick_Examples.
  4106 
  4107 * New commands 'code_pred' and 'values' to invoke the predicate
  4108 compiler and to enumerate values of inductive predicates.
  4109 
  4110 * A tabled implementation of the reflexive transitive closure.
  4111 
  4112 * New implementation of quickcheck uses generic code generator;
  4113 default generators are provided for all suitable HOL types, records
  4114 and datatypes.  Old quickcheck can be re-activated importing theory
  4115 Library/SML_Quickcheck.
  4116 
  4117 * New testing tool Mirabelle for automated proof tools.  Applies
  4118 several tools and tactics like sledgehammer, metis, or quickcheck, to
  4119 every proof step in a theory.  To be used in batch mode via the
  4120 "mirabelle" utility.
  4121 
  4122 * New proof method "sos" (sum of squares) for nonlinear real
  4123 arithmetic (originally due to John Harison). It requires theory
  4124 Library/Sum_Of_Squares.  It is not a complete decision procedure but
  4125 works well in practice on quantifier-free real arithmetic with +, -,
  4126 *, ^, =, <= and <, i.e. boolean combinations of equalities and
  4127 inequalities between polynomials.  It makes use of external
  4128 semidefinite programming solvers.  Method "sos" generates a
  4129 certificate that can be pasted into the proof thus avoiding the need
  4130 to call an external tool every time the proof is checked.  See
  4131 src/HOL/Library/Sum_Of_Squares.
  4132 
  4133 * New method "linarith" invokes existing linear arithmetic decision
  4134 procedure only.
  4135 
  4136 * New command 'atp_minimal' reduces result produced by Sledgehammer.
  4137 
  4138 * New Sledgehammer option "Full Types" in Proof General settings menu.
  4139 Causes full type information to be output to the ATPs.  This slows
  4140 ATPs down considerably but eliminates a source of unsound "proofs"
  4141 that fail later.
  4142 
  4143 * New method "metisFT": A version of metis that uses full type
  4144 information in order to avoid failures of proof reconstruction.
  4145 
  4146 * New evaluator "approximate" approximates an real valued term using
  4147 the same method as the approximation method.
  4148 
  4149 * Method "approximate" now supports arithmetic expressions as
  4150 boundaries of intervals and implements interval splitting and Taylor
  4151 series expansion.
  4152 
  4153 * ML antiquotation @{code_datatype} inserts definition of a datatype
  4154 generated by the code generator; e.g. see src/HOL/Predicate.thy.
  4155 
  4156 * New theory SupInf of the supremum and infimum operators for sets of
  4157 reals.
  4158 
  4159 * New theory Probability, which contains a development of measure
  4160 theory, eventually leading to Lebesgue integration and probability.
  4161 
  4162 * Extended Multivariate Analysis to include derivation and Brouwer's
  4163 fixpoint theorem.
  4164 
  4165 * Reorganization of number theory, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4166   - new number theory development for nat and int, in theories Divides
  4167     and GCD as well as in new session Number_Theory
  4168   - some constants and facts now suffixed with _nat and _int
  4169     accordingly
  4170   - former session NumberTheory now named Old_Number_Theory, including
  4171     theories Legacy_GCD and Primes (prefer Number_Theory if possible)
  4172   - moved theory Pocklington from src/HOL/Library to
  4173     src/HOL/Old_Number_Theory
  4174 
  4175 * Theory GCD includes functions Gcd/GCD and Lcm/LCM for the gcd and
  4176 lcm of finite and infinite sets. It is shown that they form a complete
  4177 lattice.
  4178 
  4179 * Class semiring_div requires superclass no_zero_divisors and proof of
  4180 div_mult_mult1; theorems div_mult_mult1, div_mult_mult2,
  4181 div_mult_mult1_if, div_mult_mult1 and div_mult_mult2 have been
  4182 generalized to class semiring_div, subsuming former theorems
  4183 zdiv_zmult_zmult1, zdiv_zmult_zmult1_if, zdiv_zmult_zmult1 and
  4184 zdiv_zmult_zmult2.  div_mult_mult1 is now [simp] by default.
  4185 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4186 
  4187 * Refinements to lattice classes and sets:
  4188   - less default intro/elim rules in locale variant, more default
  4189     intro/elim rules in class variant: more uniformity
  4190   - lemma ge_sup_conv renamed to le_sup_iff, in accordance with
  4191     le_inf_iff
  4192   - dropped lemma alias inf_ACI for inf_aci (same for sup_ACI and
  4193     sup_aci)
  4194   - renamed ACI to inf_sup_aci
  4195   - new class "boolean_algebra"
  4196   - class "complete_lattice" moved to separate theory
  4197     "Complete_Lattice"; corresponding constants (and abbreviations)
  4198     renamed and with authentic syntax:
  4199     Set.Inf ~>    Complete_Lattice.Inf
  4200     Set.Sup ~>    Complete_Lattice.Sup
  4201     Set.INFI ~>   Complete_Lattice.INFI
  4202     Set.SUPR ~>   Complete_Lattice.SUPR
  4203     Set.Inter ~>  Complete_Lattice.Inter
  4204     Set.Union ~>  Complete_Lattice.Union
  4205     Set.INTER ~>  Complete_Lattice.INTER
  4206     Set.UNION ~>  Complete_Lattice.UNION
  4207   - authentic syntax for
  4208     Set.Pow
  4209     Set.image
  4210   - mere abbreviations:
  4211     Set.empty               (for bot)
  4212     Set.UNIV                (for top)
  4213     Set.inter               (for inf, formerly Set.Int)
  4214     Set.union               (for sup, formerly Set.Un)
  4215     Complete_Lattice.Inter  (for Inf)
  4216     Complete_Lattice.Union  (for Sup)
  4217     Complete_Lattice.INTER  (for INFI)
  4218     Complete_Lattice.UNION  (for SUPR)
  4219   - object-logic definitions as far as appropriate
  4220 
  4221 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Care is required when theorems Int_subset_iff or
  4222 Un_subset_iff are explicitly deleted as default simp rules; then also
  4223 their lattice counterparts le_inf_iff and le_sup_iff have to be
  4224 deleted to achieve the desired effect.
  4225 
  4226 * Rules inf_absorb1, inf_absorb2, sup_absorb1, sup_absorb2 are no simp
  4227 rules by default any longer; the same applies to min_max.inf_absorb1
  4228 etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4229 
  4230 * Rules sup_Int_eq and sup_Un_eq are no longer declared as
  4231 pred_set_conv by default.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4232 
  4233 * Power operations on relations and functions are now one dedicated
  4234 constant "compow" with infix syntax "^^".  Power operation on
  4235 multiplicative monoids retains syntax "^" and is now defined generic
  4236 in class power.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4237 
  4238 * Relation composition "R O S" now has a more standard argument order:
  4239 "R O S = {(x, z). EX y. (x, y) : R & (y, z) : S}".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4240 rewrite propositions with "S O R" --> "R O S". Proofs may occasionally
  4241 break, since the O_assoc rule was not rewritten like this.  Fix using
  4242 O_assoc[symmetric].  The same applies to the curried version "R OO S".
  4243 
  4244 * Function "Inv" is renamed to "inv_into" and function "inv" is now an
  4245 abbreviation for "inv_into UNIV".  Lemmas are renamed accordingly.
  4246 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4247 
  4248 * Most rules produced by inductive and datatype package have mandatory
  4249 prefixes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4250 
  4251 * Changed "DERIV_intros" to a dynamic fact, which can be augmented by
  4252 the attribute of the same name.  Each of the theorems in the list
  4253 DERIV_intros assumes composition with an additional function and
  4254 matches a variable to the derivative, which has to be solved by the
  4255 Simplifier.  Hence (auto intro!: DERIV_intros) computes the derivative
  4256 of most elementary terms.  Former Maclauren.DERIV_tac and
  4257 Maclauren.deriv_tac should be replaced by (auto intro!: DERIV_intros).
  4258 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4259 
  4260 * Code generator attributes follow the usual underscore convention:
  4261     code_unfold     replaces    code unfold
  4262     code_post       replaces    code post
  4263     etc.
  4264   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4265 
  4266 * Renamed methods:
  4267     sizechange -> size_change
  4268     induct_scheme -> induction_schema
  4269   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4270 
  4271 * Discontinued abbreviation "arbitrary" of constant "undefined".
  4272 INCOMPATIBILITY, use "undefined" directly.
  4273 
  4274 * Renamed theorems:
  4275     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  4276     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1_left -> Suc_eq_plus1_left
  4277     Suc_plus1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  4278     *anti_sym -> *antisym*
  4279     vector_less_eq_def -> vector_le_def
  4280   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4281 
  4282 * Added theorem List.map_map as [simp].  Removed List.map_compose.
  4283 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4284 
  4285 * Removed predicate "M hassize n" (<--> card M = n & finite M).
  4286 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4287 
  4288 
  4289 *** HOLCF ***
  4290 
  4291 * Theory Representable defines a class "rep" of domains that are
  4292 representable (via an ep-pair) in the universal domain type "udom".
  4293 Instances are provided for all type constructors defined in HOLCF.
  4294 
  4295 * The 'new_domain' command is a purely definitional version of the
  4296 domain package, for representable domains.  Syntax is identical to the
  4297 old domain package.  The 'new_domain' package also supports indirect
  4298 recursion using previously-defined type constructors.  See
  4299 src/HOLCF/ex/New_Domain.thy for examples.
  4300 
  4301 * Method "fixrec_simp" unfolds one step of a fixrec-defined constant
  4302 on the left-hand side of an equation, and then performs
  4303 simplification.  Rewriting is done using rules declared with the
  4304 "fixrec_simp" attribute.  The "fixrec_simp" method is intended as a
  4305 replacement for "fixpat"; see src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples.
  4306 
  4307 * The pattern-match compiler in 'fixrec' can now handle constructors
  4308 with HOL function types.  Pattern-match combinators for the Pair
  4309 constructor are pre-configured.
  4310 
  4311 * The 'fixrec' package now produces better fixed-point induction rules
  4312 for mutually-recursive definitions:  Induction rules have conclusions
  4313 of the form "P foo bar" instead of "P <foo, bar>".
  4314 
  4315 * The constant "sq_le" (with infix syntax "<<" or "\<sqsubseteq>") has
  4316 been renamed to "below".  The name "below" now replaces "less" in many
  4317 theorem names.  (Legacy theorem names using "less" are still supported
  4318 as well.)
  4319 
  4320 * The 'fixrec' package now supports "bottom patterns".  Bottom
  4321 patterns can be used to generate strictness rules, or to make
  4322 functions more strict (much like the bang-patterns supported by the
  4323 Glasgow Haskell Compiler).  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  4324 examples.
  4325 
  4326 
  4327 *** ML ***
  4328 
  4329 * Support for Poly/ML 5.3.0, with improved reporting of compiler
  4330 errors and run-time exceptions, including detailed source positions.
  4331 
  4332 * Structure Name_Space (formerly NameSpace) now manages uniquely
  4333 identified entries, with some additional information such as source
  4334 position, logical grouping etc.
  4335 
  4336 * Theory and context data is now introduced by the simplified and
  4337 modernized functors Theory_Data, Proof_Data, Generic_Data.  Data needs
  4338 to be pure, but the old TheoryDataFun for mutable data (with explicit
  4339 copy operation) is still available for some time.
  4340 
  4341 * Structure Synchronized (cf. src/Pure/Concurrent/synchronized.ML)
  4342 provides a high-level programming interface to synchronized state
  4343 variables with atomic update.  This works via pure function
  4344 application within a critical section -- its runtime should be as
  4345 short as possible; beware of deadlocks if critical code is nested,
  4346 either directly or indirectly via other synchronized variables!
  4347 
  4348 * Structure Unsynchronized (cf. src/Pure/ML-Systems/unsynchronized.ML)
  4349 wraps raw ML references, explicitly indicating their non-thread-safe
  4350 behaviour.  The Isar toplevel keeps this structure open, to
  4351 accommodate Proof General as well as quick and dirty interactive
  4352 experiments with references.
  4353 
  4354 * PARALLEL_CHOICE and PARALLEL_GOALS provide basic support for
  4355 parallel tactical reasoning.
  4356 
  4357 * Tacticals Subgoal.FOCUS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PREMS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PARAMS
  4358 are similar to SUBPROOF, but are slightly more flexible: only the
  4359 specified parts of the subgoal are imported into the context, and the
  4360 body tactic may introduce new subgoals and schematic variables.
  4361 
  4362 * Old tactical METAHYPS, which does not observe the proof context, has
  4363 been renamed to Old_Goals.METAHYPS and awaits deletion.  Use SUBPROOF
  4364 or Subgoal.FOCUS etc.
  4365 
  4366 * Renamed functor TableFun to Table, and GraphFun to Graph.  (Since
  4367 functors have their own ML name space there is no point to mark them
  4368 separately.)  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4369 
  4370 * Renamed NamedThmsFun to Named_Thms.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4371 
  4372 * Renamed several structures FooBar to Foo_Bar.  Occasional,
  4373 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4374 
  4375 * Operations of structure Skip_Proof no longer require quick_and_dirty
  4376 mode, which avoids critical setmp.
  4377 
  4378 * Eliminated old Attrib.add_attributes, Method.add_methods and related
  4379 combinators for "args".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use simplified
  4380 Attrib/Method.setup introduced in Isabelle2009.
  4381 
  4382 * Proper context for simpset_of, claset_of, clasimpset_of.  May fall
  4383 back on global_simpset_of, global_claset_of, global_clasimpset_of as
  4384 last resort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4385 
  4386 * Display.pretty_thm now requires a proper context (cf. former
  4387 ProofContext.pretty_thm).  May fall back on Display.pretty_thm_global
  4388 or even Display.pretty_thm_without_context as last resort.
  4389 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4390 
  4391 * Discontinued Display.pretty_ctyp/cterm etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  4392 Syntax.pretty_typ/term directly, preferably with proper context
  4393 instead of global theory.
  4394 
  4395 
  4396 *** System ***
  4397 
  4398 * Further fine tuning of parallel proof checking, scales up to 8 cores
  4399 (max. speedup factor 5.0).  See also Goal.parallel_proofs in ML and
  4400 usedir option -q.
  4401 
  4402 * Support for additional "Isabelle components" via etc/components, see
  4403 also the system manual.
  4404 
  4405 * The isabelle makeall tool now operates on all components with
  4406 IsaMakefile, not just hardwired "logics".
  4407 
  4408 * Removed "compress" option from isabelle-process and isabelle usedir;
  4409 this is always enabled.
  4410 
  4411 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 4.x versions.
  4412 
  4413 * Isabelle tool "wwwfind" provides web interface for 'find_theorems'
  4414 on a given logic image.  This requires the lighttpd webserver and is
  4415 currently supported on Linux only.
  4416 
  4417 
  4418 
  4419 New in Isabelle2009 (April 2009)
  4420 --------------------------------
  4421 
  4422 *** General ***
  4423 
  4424 * Simplified main Isabelle executables, with less surprises on
  4425 case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  4426 
  4427   - The main Isabelle tool wrapper is now called "isabelle" instead of
  4428     "isatool."
  4429 
  4430   - The former "isabelle" alias for "isabelle-process" has been
  4431     removed (should rarely occur to regular users).
  4432 
  4433   - The former "isabelle-interface" and its alias "Isabelle" have been
  4434     removed (interfaces are now regular Isabelle tools).
  4435 
  4436 Within scripts and make files, the Isabelle environment variables
  4437 ISABELLE_TOOL and ISABELLE_PROCESS replace old ISATOOL and ISABELLE,
  4438 respectively.  (The latter are still available as legacy feature.)
  4439 
  4440 The old isabelle-interface wrapper could react in confusing ways if
  4441 the interface was uninstalled or changed otherwise.  Individual
  4442 interface tool configuration is now more explicit, see also the
  4443 Isabelle system manual.  In particular, Proof General is now available
  4444 via "isabelle emacs".
  4445 
  4446 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt derivative scripts.  Users may need to
  4447 purge installed copies of Isabelle executables and re-run "isabelle
  4448 install -p ...", or use symlinks.
  4449 
  4450 * The default for ISABELLE_HOME_USER is now ~/.isabelle instead of the
  4451 old ~/isabelle, which was slightly non-standard and apt to cause
  4452 surprises on case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  4453 
  4454 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to move existing ~/isabelle/etc,
  4455 ~/isabelle/heaps, ~/isabelle/browser_info to the new place.  Special
  4456 care is required when using older releases of Isabelle.  Note that
  4457 ISABELLE_HOME_USER can be changed in Isabelle/etc/settings of any
  4458 Isabelle distribution, in order to use the new ~/.isabelle uniformly.
  4459 
  4460 * Proofs of fully specified statements are run in parallel on
  4461 multi-core systems.  A speedup factor of 2.5 to 3.2 can be expected on
  4462 a regular 4-core machine, if the initial heap space is made reasonably
  4463 large (cf. Poly/ML option -H).  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  4464 
  4465 * The main reference manuals ("isar-ref", "implementation", and
  4466 "system") have been updated and extended.  Formally checked references
  4467 as hyperlinks are now available uniformly.
  4468 
  4469 
  4470 *** Pure ***
  4471 
  4472 * Complete re-implementation of locales.  INCOMPATIBILITY in several
  4473 respects.  The most important changes are listed below.  See the
  4474 Tutorial on Locales ("locales" manual) for details.
  4475 
  4476 - In locale expressions, instantiation replaces renaming.  Parameters
  4477 must be declared in a for clause.  To aid compatibility with previous
  4478 parameter inheritance, in locale declarations, parameters that are not
  4479 'touched' (instantiation position "_" or omitted) are implicitly added
  4480 with their syntax at the beginning of the for clause.
  4481 
  4482 - Syntax from abbreviations and definitions in locales is available in
  4483 locale expressions and context elements.  The latter is particularly
  4484 useful in locale declarations.
  4485 
  4486 - More flexible mechanisms to qualify names generated by locale
  4487 expressions.  Qualifiers (prefixes) may be specified in locale
  4488 expressions, and can be marked as mandatory (syntax: "name!:") or
  4489 optional (syntax "name?:").  The default depends for plain "name:"
  4490 depends on the situation where a locale expression is used: in
  4491 commands 'locale' and 'sublocale' prefixes are optional, in
  4492 'interpretation' and 'interpret' prefixes are mandatory.  The old
  4493 implicit qualifiers derived from the parameter names of a locale are
  4494 no longer generated.
  4495 
  4496 - Command "sublocale l < e" replaces "interpretation l < e".  The
  4497 instantiation clause in "interpretation" and "interpret" (square
  4498 brackets) is no longer available.  Use locale expressions.
  4499 
  4500 - When converting proof scripts, mandatory qualifiers in
  4501 'interpretation' and 'interpret' should be retained by default, even
  4502 if this is an INCOMPATIBILITY compared to former behavior.  In the
  4503 worst case, use the "name?:" form for non-mandatory ones.  Qualifiers
  4504 in locale expressions range over a single locale instance only.
  4505 
  4506 - Dropped locale element "includes".  This is a major INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4507 In existing theorem specifications replace the includes element by the
  4508 respective context elements of the included locale, omitting those
  4509 that are already present in the theorem specification.  Multiple
  4510 assume elements of a locale should be replaced by a single one
  4511 involving the locale predicate.  In the proof body, declarations (most
  4512 notably theorems) may be regained by interpreting the respective
  4513 locales in the proof context as required (command "interpret").
  4514 
  4515 If using "includes" in replacement of a target solely because the
  4516 parameter types in the theorem are not as general as in the target,
  4517 consider declaring a new locale with additional type constraints on
  4518 the parameters (context element "constrains").
  4519 
  4520 - Discontinued "locale (open)".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4521 
  4522 - Locale interpretation commands no longer attempt to simplify goal.
  4523 INCOMPATIBILITY: in rare situations the generated goal differs.  Use
  4524 methods intro_locales and unfold_locales to clarify.
  4525 
  4526 - Locale interpretation commands no longer accept interpretation
  4527 attributes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4528 
  4529 * Class declaration: so-called "base sort" must not be given in import
  4530 list any longer, but is inferred from the specification.  Particularly
  4531 in HOL, write
  4532 
  4533     class foo = ...
  4534 
  4535 instead of
  4536 
  4537     class foo = type + ...
  4538 
  4539 * Class target: global versions of theorems stemming do not carry a
  4540 parameter prefix any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4541 
  4542 * Class 'instance' command no longer accepts attached definitions.
  4543 INCOMPATIBILITY, use proper 'instantiation' target instead.
  4544 
  4545 * Recovered hiding of consts, which was accidentally broken in
  4546 Isabelle2007.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, ``hide const c'' really
  4547 makes c inaccessible; consider using ``hide (open) const c'' instead.
  4548 
  4549 * Slightly more coherent Pure syntax, with updated documentation in
  4550 isar-ref manual.  Removed locales meta_term_syntax and
  4551 meta_conjunction_syntax: TERM and &&& (formerly &&) are now permanent,
  4552 INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations.  Note that &&& should not be used
  4553 directly in regular applications.
  4554 
  4555 * There is a new syntactic category "float_const" for signed decimal
  4556 fractions (e.g. 123.45 or -123.45).
  4557 
  4558 * Removed exotic 'token_translation' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML
  4559 interface with 'setup' command instead.
  4560 
  4561 * Command 'local_setup' is similar to 'setup', but operates on a local
  4562 theory context.
  4563 
  4564 * The 'axiomatization' command now only works within a global theory
  4565 context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4566 
  4567 * Goal-directed proof now enforces strict proof irrelevance wrt. sort
  4568 hypotheses.  Sorts required in the course of reasoning need to be
  4569 covered by the constraints in the initial statement, completed by the
  4570 type instance information of the background theory.  Non-trivial sort
  4571 hypotheses, which rarely occur in practice, may be specified via
  4572 vacuous propositions of the form SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::c).  For example:
  4573 
  4574   lemma assumes "SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::empty)" shows False ...
  4575 
  4576 The result contains an implicit sort hypotheses as before --
  4577 SORT_CONSTRAINT premises are eliminated as part of the canonical rule
  4578 normalization.
  4579 
  4580 * Generalized Isar history, with support for linear undo, direct state
  4581 addressing etc.
  4582 
  4583 * Changed defaults for unify configuration options:
  4584 
  4585   unify_trace_bound = 50 (formerly 25)
  4586   unify_search_bound = 60 (formerly 30)
  4587 
  4588 * Different bookkeeping for code equations (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  4589 
  4590   a) On theory merge, the last set of code equations for a particular
  4591      constant is taken (in accordance with the policy applied by other
  4592      parts of the code generator framework).
  4593 
  4594   b) Code equations stemming from explicit declarations (e.g. code
  4595      attribute) gain priority over default code equations stemming
  4596      from definition, primrec, fun etc.
  4597 
  4598 * Keyword 'code_exception' now named 'code_abort'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4599 
  4600 * Unified theorem tables for both code generators.  Thus [code
  4601 func] has disappeared and only [code] remains.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4602 
  4603 * Command 'find_consts' searches for constants based on type and name
  4604 patterns, e.g.
  4605 
  4606     find_consts "_ => bool"
  4607 
  4608 By default, matching is against subtypes, but it may be restricted to
  4609 the whole type.  Searching by name is possible.  Multiple queries are
  4610 conjunctive and queries may be negated by prefixing them with a
  4611 hyphen:
  4612 
  4613     find_consts strict: "_ => bool" name: "Int" -"int => int"
  4614 
  4615 * New 'find_theorems' criterion "solves" matches theorems that
  4616 directly solve the current goal (modulo higher-order unification).
  4617 
  4618 * Auto solve feature for main theorem statements: whenever a new goal
  4619 is stated, "find_theorems solves" is called; any theorems that could
  4620 solve the lemma directly are listed as part of the goal state.
  4621 Cf. associated options in Proof General Isabelle settings menu,
  4622 enabled by default, with reasonable timeout for pathological cases of
  4623 higher-order unification.
  4624 
  4625 
  4626 *** Document preparation ***
  4627 
  4628 * Antiquotation @{lemma} now imitates a regular terminal proof,
  4629 demanding keyword 'by' and supporting the full method expression
  4630 syntax just like the Isar command 'by'.
  4631 
  4632 
  4633 *** HOL ***
  4634 
  4635 * Integrated main parts of former image HOL-Complex with HOL.  Entry
  4636 points Main and Complex_Main remain as before.
  4637 
  4638 * Logic image HOL-Plain provides a minimal HOL with the most important
  4639 tools available (inductive, datatype, primrec, ...).  This facilitates
  4640 experimentation and tool development.  Note that user applications
  4641 (and library theories) should never refer to anything below theory
  4642 Main, as before.
  4643 
  4644 * Logic image HOL-Main stops at theory Main, and thus facilitates
  4645 experimentation due to shorter build times.
  4646 
  4647 * Logic image HOL-NSA contains theories of nonstandard analysis which
  4648 were previously part of former HOL-Complex.  Entry point Hyperreal
  4649 remains valid, but theories formerly using Complex_Main should now use
  4650 new entry point Hypercomplex.
  4651 
  4652 * Generic ATP manager for Sledgehammer, based on ML threads instead of
  4653 Posix processes.  Avoids potentially expensive forking of the ML
  4654 process.  New thread-based implementation also works on non-Unix
  4655 platforms (Cygwin).  Provers are no longer hardwired, but defined
  4656 within the theory via plain ML wrapper functions.  Basic Sledgehammer
  4657 commands are covered in the isar-ref manual.
  4658 
  4659 * Wrapper scripts for remote SystemOnTPTP service allows to use
  4660 sledgehammer without local ATP installation (Vampire etc.). Other
  4661 provers may be included via suitable ML wrappers, see also
  4662 src/HOL/ATP_Linkup.thy.
  4663 
  4664 * ATP selection (E/Vampire/Spass) is now via Proof General's settings
  4665 menu.
  4666 
  4667 * The metis method no longer fails because the theorem is too trivial
  4668 (contains the empty clause).
  4669 
  4670 * The metis method now fails in the usual manner, rather than raising
  4671 an exception, if it determines that it cannot prove the theorem.
  4672 
  4673 * Method "coherent" implements a prover for coherent logic (see also
  4674 src/Tools/coherent.ML).
  4675 
  4676 * Constants "undefined" and "default" replace "arbitrary".  Usually
  4677 "undefined" is the right choice to replace "arbitrary", though
  4678 logically there is no difference.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4679 
  4680 * Command "value" now integrates different evaluation mechanisms.  The
  4681 result of the first successful evaluation mechanism is printed.  In
  4682 square brackets a particular named evaluation mechanisms may be
  4683 specified (currently, [SML], [code] or [nbe]).  See further
  4684 src/HOL/ex/Eval_Examples.thy.
  4685 
  4686 * Normalization by evaluation now allows non-leftlinear equations.
  4687 Declare with attribute [code nbe].
  4688 
  4689 * Methods "case_tac" and "induct_tac" now refer to the very same rules
  4690 as the structured Isar versions "cases" and "induct", cf. the
  4691 corresponding "cases" and "induct" attributes.  Mutual induction rules
  4692 are now presented as a list of individual projections
  4693 (e.g. foo_bar.inducts for types foo and bar); the old format with
  4694 explicit HOL conjunction is no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  4695 rare situations a different rule is selected --- notably nested tuple
  4696 elimination instead of former prod.exhaust: use explicit (case_tac t
  4697 rule: prod.exhaust) here.
  4698 
  4699 * Attributes "cases", "induct", "coinduct" support "del" option.
  4700 
  4701 * Removed fact "case_split_thm", which duplicates "case_split".
  4702 
  4703 * The option datatype has been moved to a new theory Option.  Renamed
  4704 option_map to Option.map, and o2s to Option.set, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4705 
  4706 * New predicate "strict_mono" classifies strict functions on partial
  4707 orders.  With strict functions on linear orders, reasoning about
  4708 (in)equalities is facilitated by theorems "strict_mono_eq",
  4709 "strict_mono_less_eq" and "strict_mono_less".
  4710 
  4711 * Some set operations are now proper qualified constants with
  4712 authentic syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4713 
  4714     op Int ~>   Set.Int
  4715     op Un ~>    Set.Un
  4716     INTER ~>    Set.INTER
  4717     UNION ~>    Set.UNION
  4718     Inter ~>    Set.Inter
  4719     Union ~>    Set.Union
  4720     {} ~>       Set.empty
  4721     UNIV ~>     Set.UNIV
  4722 
  4723 * Class complete_lattice with operations Inf, Sup, INFI, SUPR now in
  4724 theory Set.
  4725 
  4726 * Auxiliary class "itself" has disappeared -- classes without any
  4727 parameter are treated as expected by the 'class' command.
  4728 
  4729 * Leibnitz's Series for Pi and the arcus tangens and logarithm series.
  4730 
  4731 * Common decision procedures (Cooper, MIR, Ferrack, Approximation,
  4732 Dense_Linear_Order) are now in directory HOL/Decision_Procs.
  4733 
  4734 * Theory src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation provides the new proof
  4735 method "approximation".  It proves formulas on real values by using
  4736 interval arithmetic.  In the formulas are also the transcendental
  4737 functions sin, cos, tan, atan, ln, exp and the constant pi are
  4738 allowed. For examples see
  4739 src/HOL/Descision_Procs/ex/Approximation_Ex.thy.
  4740 
  4741 * Theory "Reflection" now resides in HOL/Library.
  4742 
  4743 * Entry point to Word library now simply named "Word".
  4744 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4745 
  4746 * Made source layout more coherent with logical distribution
  4747 structure:

  4800 
  4801 * If methods "eval" and "evaluation" encounter a structured proof
  4802 state with !!/==>, only the conclusion is evaluated to True (if
  4803 possible), avoiding strange error messages.
  4804 
  4805 * Method "sizechange" automates termination proofs using (a
  4806 modification of) the size-change principle.  Requires SAT solver.  See
  4807 src/HOL/ex/Termination.thy for examples.
  4808 
  4809 * Simplifier: simproc for let expressions now unfolds if bound
  4810 variable occurs at most once in let expression body.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4811 
  4812 * Method "arith": Linear arithmetic now ignores all inequalities when
  4813 fast_arith_neq_limit is exceeded, instead of giving up entirely.
  4814 
  4815 * New attribute "arith" for facts that should always be used
  4816 automatically by arithmetic. It is intended to be used locally in
  4817 proofs, e.g.
  4818 
  4819   assumes [arith]: "x > 0"
  4820 
  4821 Global usage is discouraged because of possible performance impact.
  4822 
  4823 * New classes "top" and "bot" with corresponding operations "top" and
  4824 "bot" in theory Orderings; instantiation of class "complete_lattice"
  4825 requires instantiation of classes "top" and "bot".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4826 
  4827 * Changed definition lemma "less_fun_def" in order to provide an
  4828 instance for preorders on functions; use lemma "less_le" instead.
  4829 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4830 
  4831 * Theory Orderings: class "wellorder" moved here, with explicit
  4832 induction rule "less_induct" as assumption.  For instantiation of
  4833 "wellorder" by means of predicate "wf", use rule wf_wellorderI.
  4834 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4835 
  4836 * Theory Orderings: added class "preorder" as superclass of "order".
  4837 INCOMPATIBILITY: Instantiation proofs for order, linorder
  4838 etc. slightly changed.  Some theorems named order_class.* now named
  4839 preorder_class.*.
  4840 
  4841 * Theory Relation: renamed "refl" to "refl_on", "reflexive" to "refl,
  4842 "diag" to "Id_on".
  4843 
  4844 * Theory Finite_Set: added a new fold combinator of type
  4845 
  4846   ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  4847 
  4848 Occasionally this is more convenient than the old fold combinator
  4849 which is now defined in terms of the new one and renamed to
  4850 fold_image.
  4851 
  4852 * Theories Ring_and_Field and OrderedGroup: The lemmas "group_simps"
  4853 and "ring_simps" have been replaced by "algebra_simps" (which can be
  4854 extended with further lemmas!).  At the moment both still exist but
  4855 the former will disappear at some point.
  4856 
  4857 * Theory Power: Lemma power_Suc is now declared as a simp rule in
  4858 class recpower.  Type-specific simp rules for various recpower types
  4859 have been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, rename old lemmas as follows:
  4860 
  4861 rat_power_0    -> power_0
  4862 rat_power_Suc  -> power_Suc
  4863 realpow_0      -> power_0
  4864 realpow_Suc    -> power_Suc
  4865 complexpow_0   -> power_0
  4866 complexpow_Suc -> power_Suc
  4867 power_poly_0   -> power_0
  4868 power_poly_Suc -> power_Suc
  4869 
  4870 * Theories Ring_and_Field and Divides: Definition of "op dvd" has been
  4871 moved to separate class dvd in Ring_and_Field; a couple of lemmas on
  4872 dvd has been generalized to class comm_semiring_1.  Likewise a bunch
  4873 of lemmas from Divides has been generalized from nat to class
  4874 semiring_div.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  This involves the following theorem
  4875 renames resulting from duplicate elimination:
  4876 
  4877     dvd_def_mod ~>          dvd_eq_mod_eq_0
  4878     zero_dvd_iff ~>         dvd_0_left_iff
  4879     dvd_0 ~>                dvd_0_right
  4880     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_DIV ~> div_by_0
  4881     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_MOD ~> mod_by_0
  4882     mult_div ~>             div_mult_self2_is_id
  4883     mult_mod ~>             mod_mult_self2_is_0
  4884 
  4885 * Theory IntDiv: removed many lemmas that are instances of class-based
  4886 generalizations (from Divides and Ring_and_Field).  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4887 rename old lemmas as follows:
  4888 
  4889 dvd_diff               -> nat_dvd_diff
  4890 dvd_zminus_iff         -> dvd_minus_iff
  4891 mod_add1_eq            -> mod_add_eq
  4892 mod_mult1_eq           -> mod_mult_right_eq
  4893 mod_mult1_eq'          -> mod_mult_left_eq
  4894 mod_mult_distrib_mod   -> mod_mult_eq
  4895 nat_mod_add_left_eq    -> mod_add_left_eq
  4896 nat_mod_add_right_eq   -> mod_add_right_eq
  4897 nat_mod_div_trivial    -> mod_div_trivial
  4898 nat_mod_mod_trivial    -> mod_mod_trivial
  4899 zdiv_zadd_self1        -> div_add_self1
  4900 zdiv_zadd_self2        -> div_add_self2
  4901 zdiv_zmult_self1       -> div_mult_self2_is_id
  4902 zdiv_zmult_self2       -> div_mult_self1_is_id
  4903 zdvd_triv_left         -> dvd_triv_left
  4904 zdvd_triv_right        -> dvd_triv_right
  4905 zdvd_zmult_cancel_disj -> dvd_mult_cancel_left
  4906 zmod_eq0_zdvd_iff      -> dvd_eq_mod_eq_0[symmetric]
  4907 zmod_zadd_left_eq      -> mod_add_left_eq
  4908 zmod_zadd_right_eq     -> mod_add_right_eq
  4909 zmod_zadd_self1        -> mod_add_self1
  4910 zmod_zadd_self2        -> mod_add_self2
  4911 zmod_zadd1_eq          -> mod_add_eq
  4912 zmod_zdiff1_eq         -> mod_diff_eq
  4913 zmod_zdvd_zmod         -> mod_mod_cancel
  4914 zmod_zmod_cancel       -> mod_mod_cancel
  4915 zmod_zmult_self1       -> mod_mult_self2_is_0
  4916 zmod_zmult_self2       -> mod_mult_self1_is_0
  4917 zmod_1                 -> mod_by_1
  4918 zdiv_1                 -> div_by_1
  4919 zdvd_abs1              -> abs_dvd_iff
  4920 zdvd_abs2              -> dvd_abs_iff
  4921 zdvd_refl              -> dvd_refl
  4922 zdvd_trans             -> dvd_trans
  4923 zdvd_zadd              -> dvd_add
  4924 zdvd_zdiff             -> dvd_diff
  4925 zdvd_zminus_iff        -> dvd_minus_iff
  4926 zdvd_zminus2_iff       -> minus_dvd_iff
  4927 zdvd_zmultD            -> dvd_mult_right
  4928 zdvd_zmultD2           -> dvd_mult_left
  4929 zdvd_zmult_mono        -> mult_dvd_mono
  4930 zdvd_0_right           -> dvd_0_right
  4931 zdvd_0_left            -> dvd_0_left_iff
  4932 zdvd_1_left            -> one_dvd
  4933 zminus_dvd_iff         -> minus_dvd_iff
  4934 
  4935 * Theory Rational: 'Fract k 0' now equals '0'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4936 
  4937 * The real numbers offer decimal input syntax: 12.34 is translated
  4938 into 1234/10^2. This translation is not reversed upon output.
  4939 
  4940 * Theory Library/Polynomial defines an abstract type 'a poly of
  4941 univariate polynomials with coefficients of type 'a.  In addition to
  4942 the standard ring operations, it also supports div and mod.  Code
  4943 generation is also supported, using list-style constructors.
  4944 
  4945 * Theory Library/Inner_Product defines a class of real_inner for real
  4946 inner product spaces, with an overloaded operation inner :: 'a => 'a
  4947 => real.  Class real_inner is a subclass of real_normed_vector from
  4948 theory RealVector.
  4949 
  4950 * Theory Library/Product_Vector provides instances for the product
  4951 type 'a * 'b of several classes from RealVector and Inner_Product.
  4952 Definitions of addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, norms,
  4953 and inner products are included.
  4954 
  4955 * Theory Library/Bit defines the field "bit" of integers modulo 2.  In
  4956 addition to the field operations, numerals and case syntax are also
  4957 supported.
  4958 
  4959 * Theory Library/Diagonalize provides constructive version of Cantor's
  4960 first diagonalization argument.
  4961 
  4962 * Theory Library/GCD: Curried operations gcd, lcm (for nat) and zgcd,
  4963 zlcm (for int); carried together from various gcd/lcm developements in
  4964 the HOL Distribution.  Constants zgcd and zlcm replace former igcd and
  4965 ilcm; corresponding theorems renamed accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4966 may recover tupled syntax as follows:
  4967 
  4968     hide (open) const gcd
  4969     abbreviation gcd where
  4970       "gcd == (%(a, b). GCD.gcd a b)"
  4971     notation (output)
  4972       GCD.gcd ("gcd '(_, _')")
  4973 
  4974 The same works for lcm, zgcd, zlcm.
  4975 
  4976 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity: added addition, numeral syntax and more
  4977 instantiations for algebraic structures.  Removed some duplicate
  4978 theorems.  Changes in simp rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4979 
  4980 * ML antiquotation @{code} takes a constant as argument and generates
  4981 corresponding code in background and inserts name of the corresponding
  4982 resulting ML value/function/datatype constructor binding in place.
  4983 All occurrences of @{code} with a single ML block are generated
  4984 simultaneously.  Provides a generic and safe interface for
  4985 instrumentalizing code generation.  See
  4986 src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Ferrack.thy for a more ambitious application.
  4987 In future you ought to refrain from ad-hoc compiling generated SML
  4988 code on the ML toplevel.  Note that (for technical reasons) @{code}
  4989 cannot refer to constants for which user-defined serializations are
  4990 set.  Refer to the corresponding ML counterpart directly in that
  4991 cases.
  4992 
  4993 * Command 'rep_datatype': instead of theorem names the command now
  4994 takes a list of terms denoting the constructors of the type to be
  4995 represented as datatype.  The characteristic theorems have to be
  4996 proven.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Also observe that the following theorems
  4997 have disappeared in favour of existing ones:
  4998 
  4999     unit_induct                 ~> unit.induct
  5000     prod_induct                 ~> prod.induct

  5004 
  5005 
  5006 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  5007 
  5008 * New locales for orders and lattices where the equivalence relation
  5009 is not restricted to equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY: all order and lattice
  5010 locales use a record structure with field eq for the equivalence.
  5011 
  5012 * New theory of factorial domains.
  5013 
  5014 * Units_l_inv and Units_r_inv are now simp rules by default.
  5015 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Simplifier proof that require deletion of l_inv
  5016 and/or r_inv will now also require deletion of these lemmas.
  5017 
  5018 * Renamed the following theorems, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5019 
  5020 UpperD ~> Upper_memD
  5021 LowerD ~> Lower_memD
  5022 least_carrier ~> least_closed
  5023 greatest_carrier ~> greatest_closed
  5024 greatest_Lower_above ~> greatest_Lower_below
  5025 one_zero ~> carrier_one_zero
  5026 one_not_zero ~> carrier_one_not_zero  (collision with assumption)
  5027 
  5028 
  5029 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  5030 
  5031 * Nominal datatypes can now contain type-variables.
  5032 
  5033 * Commands 'nominal_inductive' and 'equivariance' work with local
  5034 theory targets.
  5035 
  5036 * Nominal primrec can now works with local theory targets and its
  5037 specification syntax now conforms to the general format as seen in
  5038 'inductive' etc.
  5039 
  5040 * Method "perm_simp" honours the standard simplifier attributes
  5041 (no_asm), (no_asm_use) etc.
  5042 
  5043 * The new predicate #* is defined like freshness, except that on the
  5044 left hand side can be a set or list of atoms.
  5045 
  5046 * Experimental command 'nominal_inductive2' derives strong induction
  5047 principles for inductive definitions.  In contrast to
  5048 'nominal_inductive', which can only deal with a fixed number of
  5049 binders, it can deal with arbitrary expressions standing for sets of
  5050 atoms to be avoided.  The only inductive definition we have at the
  5051 moment that needs this generalisation is the typing rule for Lets in
  5052 the algorithm W:
  5053 
  5054  Gamma |- t1 : T1   (x,close Gamma T1)::Gamma |- t2 : T2   x#Gamma
  5055  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  5056          Gamma |- Let x be t1 in t2 : T2
  5057 
  5058 In this rule one wants to avoid all the binders that are introduced by
  5059 "close Gamma T1".  We are looking for other examples where this
  5060 feature might be useful.  Please let us know.
  5061 
  5062 
  5063 *** HOLCF ***
  5064 
  5065 * Reimplemented the simplification procedure for proving continuity
  5066 subgoals.  The new simproc is extensible; users can declare additional
  5067 continuity introduction rules with the attribute [cont2cont].
  5068 
  5069 * The continuity simproc now uses a different introduction rule for
  5070 solving continuity subgoals on terms with lambda abstractions.  In
  5071 some rare cases the new simproc may fail to solve subgoals that the
  5072 old one could solve, and "simp add: cont2cont_LAM" may be necessary.
  5073 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5074 
  5075 * Command 'fixrec': specification syntax now conforms to the general
  5076 format as seen in 'inductive' etc.  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  5077 examples.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5078 
  5079 
  5080 *** ZF ***
  5081 
  5082 * Proof of Zorn's Lemma for partial orders.
  5083 
  5084 
  5085 *** ML ***
  5086 
  5087 * Multithreading for Poly/ML 5.1/5.2 is no longer supported, only for
  5088 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.  Important note: the TimeLimit facility
  5089 depends on multithreading, so timouts will not work before Poly/ML
  5090 5.2.1!
  5091 
  5092 * High-level support for concurrent ML programming, see
  5093 src/Pure/Cuncurrent.  The data-oriented model of "future values" is
  5094 particularly convenient to organize independent functional
  5095 computations.  The concept of "synchronized variables" provides a
  5096 higher-order interface for components with shared state, avoiding the
  5097 delicate details of mutexes and condition variables.  (Requires
  5098 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  5099 
  5100 * ML bindings produced via Isar commands are stored within the Isar
  5101 context (theory or proof).  Consequently, commands like 'use' and 'ML'
  5102 become thread-safe and work with undo as expected (concerning
  5103 top-level bindings, not side-effects on global references).
  5104 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to provide proper Isar context when invoking the
  5105 compiler at runtime; really global bindings need to be given outside a
  5106 theory.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  5107 
  5108 * Command 'ML_prf' is analogous to 'ML' but works within a proof
  5109 context.  Top-level ML bindings are stored within the proof context in
  5110 a purely sequential fashion, disregarding the nested proof structure.
  5111 ML bindings introduced by 'ML_prf' are discarded at the end of the
  5112 proof.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  5113 
  5114 * Simplified ML attribute and method setup, cf. functions Attrib.setup
  5115 and Method.setup, as well as Isar commands 'attribute_setup' and
  5116 'method_setup'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for 'method_setup', need to simplify
  5117 existing code accordingly, or use plain 'setup' together with old
  5118 Method.add_method.
  5119 
  5120 * Simplified ML oracle interface Thm.add_oracle promotes 'a -> cterm
  5121 to 'a -> thm, while results are always tagged with an authentic oracle
  5122 name.  The Isar command 'oracle' is now polymorphic, no argument type
  5123 is specified.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify existing oracle code
  5124 accordingly.  Note that extra performance may be gained by producing
  5125 the cterm carefully, avoiding slow Thm.cterm_of.
  5126 
  5127 * Simplified interface for defining document antiquotations via
  5128 ThyOutput.antiquotation, ThyOutput.output, and optionally
  5129 ThyOutput.maybe_pretty_source.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify user
  5130 antiquotations accordingly, see src/Pure/Thy/thy_output.ML for common
  5131 examples.
  5132 
  5133 * More systematic treatment of long names, abstract name bindings, and
  5134 name space operations.  Basic operations on qualified names have been
  5135 move from structure NameSpace to Long_Name, e.g. Long_Name.base_name,
  5136 Long_Name.append.  Old type bstring has been mostly replaced by
  5137 abstract type binding (see structure Binding), which supports precise
  5138 qualification by packages and local theory targets, as well as proper
  5139 tracking of source positions.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to wrap old
  5140 bstring values into Binding.name, or better pass through abstract
  5141 bindings everywhere.  See further src/Pure/General/long_name.ML,
  5142 src/Pure/General/binding.ML and src/Pure/General/name_space.ML
  5143 
  5144 * Result facts (from PureThy.note_thms, ProofContext.note_thms,
  5145 LocalTheory.note etc.) now refer to the *full* internal name, not the
  5146 bstring as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY, not detected by ML type-checking!
  5147 
  5148 * Disposed old type and term read functions (Sign.read_def_typ,
  5149 Sign.read_typ, Sign.read_def_terms, Sign.read_term,
  5150 Thm.read_def_cterms, Thm.read_cterm etc.).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should
  5151 use regular Syntax.read_typ, Syntax.read_term, Syntax.read_typ_global,
  5152 Syntax.read_term_global etc.; see also OldGoals.read_term as last
  5153 resort for legacy applications.
  5154 
  5155 * Disposed old declarations, tactics, tactic combinators that refer to
  5156 the simpset or claset of an implicit theory (such as Addsimps,
  5157 Simp_tac, SIMPSET).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should use @{simpset} etc. in
  5158 embedded ML text, or local_simpset_of with a proper context passed as
  5159 explicit runtime argument.
  5160 
  5161 * Rules and tactics that read instantiations (read_instantiate,
  5162 res_inst_tac, thin_tac, subgoal_tac etc.) now demand a proper proof
  5163 context, which is required for parsing and type-checking.  Moreover,
  5164 the variables are specified as plain indexnames, not string encodings
  5165 thereof.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5166 
  5167 * Generic Toplevel.add_hook interface allows to analyze the result of
  5168 transactions.  E.g. see src/Pure/ProofGeneral/proof_general_pgip.ML
  5169 for theorem dependency output of transactions resulting in a new
  5170 theory state.
  5171 
  5172 * ML antiquotations: block-structured compilation context indicated by
  5173 \<lbrace> ... \<rbrace>; additional antiquotation forms:
  5174 
  5175   @{binding name}                         - basic name binding
  5176   @{let ?pat = term}                      - term abbreviation (HO matching)
  5177   @{note name = fact}                     - fact abbreviation
  5178   @{thm fact}                             - singleton fact (with attributes)
  5179   @{thms fact}                            - general fact (with attributes)
  5180   @{lemma prop by method}                 - singleton goal
  5181   @{lemma prop by meth1 meth2}            - singleton goal
  5182   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by method}      - general goal
  5183   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by meth1 meth2} - general goal
  5184   @{lemma (open) ...}                     - open derivation
  5185 
  5186 
  5187 *** System ***
  5188 
  5189 * The Isabelle "emacs" tool provides a specific interface to invoke
  5190 Proof General / Emacs, with more explicit failure if that is not
  5191 installed (the old isabelle-interface script silently falls back on
  5192 isabelle-process).  The PROOFGENERAL_HOME setting determines the
  5193 installation location of the Proof General distribution.
  5194 
  5195 * Isabelle/lib/classes/Pure.jar provides basic support to integrate
  5196 the Isabelle process into a JVM/Scala application.  See
  5197 Isabelle/lib/jedit/plugin for a minimal example.  (The obsolete Java
  5198 process wrapper has been discontinued.)
  5199 
  5200 * Added homegrown Isabelle font with unicode layout, see lib/fonts.
  5201 
  5202 * Various status messages (with exact source position information) are
  5203 emitted, if proper markup print mode is enabled.  This allows
  5204 user-interface components to provide detailed feedback on internal
  5205 prover operations.
  5206 
  5207 
  5208 
  5209 New in Isabelle2008 (June 2008)
  5210 -------------------------------
  5211 
  5212 *** General ***
  5213 
  5214 * The Isabelle/Isar Reference Manual (isar-ref) has been reorganized
  5215 and updated, with formally checked references as hyperlinks.
  5216 
  5217 * Theory loader: use_thy (and similar operations) no longer set the
  5218 implicit ML context, which was occasionally hard to predict and in
  5219 conflict with concurrency.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML within Isar which
  5220 provides a proper context already.
  5221 
  5222 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  5223 file are no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, regular 'uses' and
  5224 'use' within a theory file will do the job.
  5225 
  5226 * Name space merge now observes canonical order, i.e. the second space
  5227 is inserted into the first one, while existing entries in the first
  5228 space take precedence.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, may try to
  5229 swap theory imports.
  5230 
  5231 * Syntax: symbol \<chi> is now considered a letter.  Potential
  5232 INCOMPATIBILITY in identifier syntax etc.
  5233 
  5234 * Outer syntax: string tokens no longer admit escaped white space,
  5235 which was an accidental (undocumented) feature.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5236 white space without escapes.
  5237 
  5238 * Outer syntax: string tokens may contain arbitrary character codes
  5239 specified via 3 decimal digits (as in SML).  E.g. "foo\095bar" for
  5240 "foo_bar".
  5241 
  5242 
  5243 *** Pure ***
  5244 
  5245 * Context-dependent token translations.  Default setup reverts locally
  5246 fixed variables, and adds hilite markup for undeclared frees.
  5247 
  5248 * Unused theorems can be found using the new command 'unused_thms'.
  5249 There are three ways of invoking it:
  5250 
  5251 (1) unused_thms
  5252      Only finds unused theorems in the current theory.
  5253 
  5254 (2) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n -
  5255      Finds unused theorems in the current theory and all of its ancestors,
  5256      excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of their ancestors.
  5257 
  5258 (3) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n - thy'_1 ... thy'_m
  5259      Finds unused theorems in the theories thy'_1 ... thy'_m and all of
  5260      their ancestors, excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of
  5261      their ancestors.
  5262 
  5263 In order to increase the readability of the list produced by
  5264 unused_thms, theorems that have been created by a particular instance
  5265 of a theory command such as 'inductive' or 'function' are considered
  5266 to belong to the same "group", meaning that if at least one theorem in
  5267 this group is used, the other theorems in the same group are no longer
  5268 reported as unused.  Moreover, if all theorems in the group are
  5269 unused, only one theorem in the group is displayed.
  5270 
  5271 Note that proof objects have to be switched on in order for
  5272 unused_thms to work properly (i.e. !proofs must be >= 1, which is
  5273 usually the case when using Proof General with the default settings).
  5274 
  5275 * Authentic naming of facts disallows ad-hoc overwriting of previous
  5276 theorems within the same name space.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to remove
  5277 duplicate fact bindings, or even accidental fact duplications.  Note
  5278 that tools may maintain dynamically scoped facts systematically, using
  5279 PureThy.add_thms_dynamic.
  5280 
  5281 * Command 'hide' now allows to hide from "fact" name space as well.
  5282 
  5283 * Eliminated destructive theorem database, simpset, claset, and
  5284 clasimpset.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, really need to observe linear
  5285 update of theories within ML code.
  5286 
  5287 * Eliminated theory ProtoPure and CPure, leaving just one Pure theory.
  5288 INCOMPATIBILITY, object-logics depending on former Pure require
  5289 additional setup PureThy.old_appl_syntax_setup; object-logics
  5290 depending on former CPure need to refer to Pure.
  5291 
  5292 * Commands 'use' and 'ML' are now purely functional, operating on
  5293 theory/local_theory.  Removed former 'ML_setup' (on theory), use 'ML'
  5294 instead.  Added 'ML_val' as mere diagnostic replacement for 'ML'.
  5295 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5296 
  5297 * Command 'setup': discontinued implicit version with ML reference.
  5298 
  5299 * Instantiation target allows for simultaneous specification of class
  5300 instance operations together with an instantiation proof.
  5301 Type-checking phase allows to refer to class operations uniformly.
  5302 See src/HOL/Complex/Complex.thy for an Isar example and
  5303 src/HOL/Library/Eval.thy for an ML example.
  5304 
  5305 * Indexing of literal facts: be more serious about including only
  5306 facts from the visible specification/proof context, but not the
  5307 background context (locale etc.).  Affects `prop` notation and method
  5308 "fact".  INCOMPATIBILITY: need to name facts explicitly in rare
  5309 situations.
  5310 
  5311 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": removed obsolete/undocumented
  5312 "(open)" option, which used to expose internal bound variables to the
  5313 proof text.
  5314 
  5315 * Isar statements: removed obsolete case "rule_context".
  5316 INCOMPATIBILITY, better use explicit fixes/assumes.
  5317 
  5318 * Locale proofs: default proof step now includes 'unfold_locales';
  5319 hence 'proof' without argument may be used to unfold locale
  5320 predicates.
  5321 
  5322 
  5323 *** Document preparation ***
  5324 
  5325 * Simplified pdfsetup.sty: color/hyperref is used unconditionally for
  5326 both pdf and dvi (hyperlinks usually work in xdvi as well); removed
  5327 obsolete thumbpdf setup (contemporary PDF viewers do this on the
  5328 spot); renamed link color from "darkblue" to "linkcolor" (default
  5329 value unchanged, can be redefined via \definecolor); no longer sets
  5330 "a4paper" option (unnecessary or even intrusive).
  5331 
  5332 * Antiquotation @{lemma A method} proves proposition A by the given
  5333 method (either a method name or a method name plus (optional) method
  5334 arguments in parentheses) and prints A just like @{prop A}.
  5335 
  5336 
  5337 *** HOL ***
  5338 
  5339 * New primrec package.  Specification syntax conforms in style to
  5340 definition/function/....  No separate induction rule is provided.  The
  5341 "primrec" command distinguishes old-style and new-style specifications
  5342 by syntax.  The former primrec package is now named OldPrimrecPackage.
  5343 When adjusting theories, beware: constants stemming from new-style
  5344 primrec specifications have authentic syntax.
  5345 
  5346 * Metis prover is now an order of magnitude faster, and also works
  5347 with multithreading.
  5348 
  5349 * Metis: the maximum number of clauses that can be produced from a
  5350 theorem is now given by the attribute max_clauses.  Theorems that
  5351 exceed this number are ignored, with a warning printed.
  5352 
  5353 * Sledgehammer no longer produces structured proofs by default. To
  5354 enable, declare [[sledgehammer_full = true]].  Attributes
  5355 reconstruction_modulus, reconstruction_sorts renamed
  5356 sledgehammer_modulus, sledgehammer_sorts.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5357 
  5358 * Method "induct_scheme" derives user-specified induction rules
  5359 from well-founded induction and completeness of patterns. This factors
  5360 out some operations that are done internally by the function package
  5361 and makes them available separately.  See
  5362 src/HOL/ex/Induction_Scheme.thy for examples.
  5363 
  5364 * More flexible generation of measure functions for termination
  5365 proofs: Measure functions can be declared by proving a rule of the
  5366 form "is_measure f" and giving it the [measure_function] attribute.
  5367 The "is_measure" predicate is logically meaningless (always true), and
  5368 just guides the heuristic.  To find suitable measure functions, the
  5369 termination prover sets up the goal "is_measure ?f" of the appropriate
  5370 type and generates all solutions by prolog-style backwards proof using
  5371 the declared rules.
  5372 
  5373 This setup also deals with rules like 
  5374 
  5375   "is_measure f ==> is_measure (list_size f)"
  5376 
  5377 which accommodates nested datatypes that recurse through lists.
  5378 Similar rules are predeclared for products and option types.
  5379 
  5380 * Turned the type of sets "'a set" into an abbreviation for "'a => bool"
  5381 
  5382   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  5383 
  5384   - Definitions of overloaded constants on sets have to be replaced by
  5385     definitions on => and bool.
  5386 
  5387   - Some definitions of overloaded operators on sets can now be proved
  5388     using the definitions of the operators on => and bool.  Therefore,
  5389     the following theorems have been renamed:
  5390 
  5391       subset_def   -> subset_eq
  5392       psubset_def  -> psubset_eq
  5393       set_diff_def -> set_diff_eq
  5394       Compl_def    -> Compl_eq
  5395       Sup_set_def  -> Sup_set_eq
  5396       Inf_set_def  -> Inf_set_eq
  5397       sup_set_def  -> sup_set_eq
  5398       inf_set_def  -> inf_set_eq
  5399 
  5400   - Due to the incompleteness of the HO unification algorithm, some
  5401     rules such as subst may require manual instantiation, if some of
  5402     the unknowns in the rule is a set.
  5403 
  5404   - Higher order unification and forward proofs:
  5405     The proof pattern
  5406 
  5407       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5408       then have "EX S. P S" ..
  5409 
  5410     no longer works (due to the incompleteness of the HO unification
  5411     algorithm) and must be replaced by the pattern
  5412 
  5413       have "EX S. P S"
  5414       proof
  5415         show "P S" <...>
  5416       qed
  5417 
  5418   - Calculational reasoning with subst (or similar rules):
  5419     The proof pattern
  5420 
  5421       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5422       also have "S = T" <...>
  5423       finally have "P T" .
  5424 
  5425     no longer works (for similar reasons as the previous example) and
  5426     must be replaced by something like
  5427 
  5428       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5429       moreover have "S = T" <...>
  5430       ultimately have "P T" by simp
  5431 
  5432   - Tactics or packages written in ML code:
  5433     Code performing pattern matching on types via
  5434 
  5435       Type ("set", [T]) => ...
  5436 
  5437     must be rewritten. Moreover, functions like strip_type or
  5438     binder_types no longer return the right value when applied to a
  5439     type of the form
  5440 
  5441       T1 => ... => Tn => U => bool
  5442 
  5443     rather than
  5444 
  5445       T1 => ... => Tn => U set
  5446 
  5447 * Merged theories Wellfounded_Recursion, Accessible_Part and
  5448 Wellfounded_Relations to theory Wellfounded.
  5449 
  5450 * Explicit class "eq" for executable equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5451 
  5452 * Class finite no longer treats UNIV as class parameter.  Use class
  5453 enum from theory Library/Enum instead to achieve a similar effect.
  5454 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5455 
  5456 * Theory List: rule list_induct2 now has explicitly named cases "Nil"
  5457 and "Cons".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5458 
  5459 * HOL (and FOL): renamed variables in rules imp_elim and swap.
  5460 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5461 
  5462 * Theory Product_Type: duplicated lemmas split_Pair_apply and
  5463 injective_fst_snd removed, use split_eta and prod_eqI instead.
  5464 Renamed upd_fst to apfst and upd_snd to apsnd.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5465 
  5466 * Theory Nat: removed redundant lemmas that merely duplicate lemmas of
  5467 the same name in theory Orderings:
  5468 
  5469   less_trans
  5470   less_linear
  5471   le_imp_less_or_eq
  5472   le_less_trans
  5473   less_le_trans
  5474   less_not_sym
  5475   less_asym
  5476 
  5477 Renamed less_imp_le to less_imp_le_nat, and less_irrefl to
  5478 less_irrefl_nat.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to more general types
  5479 and different variable names.
  5480 
  5481 * Library/Option_ord.thy: Canonical order on option type.
  5482 
  5483 * Library/RBT.thy: Red-black trees, an efficient implementation of
  5484 finite maps.
  5485 
  5486 * Library/Countable.thy: Type class for countable types.
  5487 
  5488 * Theory Int: The representation of numerals has changed.  The infix
  5489 operator BIT and the bit datatype with constructors B0 and B1 have
  5490 disappeared.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "Int.Bit0 x" and "Int.Bit1 y" in
  5491 place of "x BIT bit.B0" and "y BIT bit.B1", respectively.  Theorems
  5492 involving BIT, B0, or B1 have been renamed with "Bit0" or "Bit1"
  5493 accordingly.
  5494 
  5495 * Theory Nat: definition of <= and < on natural numbers no longer
  5496 depend on well-founded relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Definitions
  5497 le_def and less_def have disappeared.  Consider lemmas not_less
  5498 [symmetric, where ?'a = nat] and less_eq [symmetric] instead.
  5499 
  5500 * Theory Finite_Set: locales ACf, ACe, ACIf, ACIfSL and ACIfSLlin
  5501 (whose purpose mainly is for various fold_set functionals) have been
  5502 abandoned in favor of the existing algebraic classes
  5503 ab_semigroup_mult, comm_monoid_mult, ab_semigroup_idem_mult,
  5504 lower_semilattice (resp. upper_semilattice) and linorder.
  5505 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5506 
  5507 * Theory Transitive_Closure: induct and cases rules now declare proper
  5508 case_names ("base" and "step").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5509 
  5510 * Theorem Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct generalized to complete
  5511 lattices.  The form set-specific version is available as
  5512 Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct_set.
  5513 
  5514 * Renamed theorems "power.simps" to "power_int.simps".
  5515 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5516 
  5517 * Class semiring_div provides basic abstract properties of semirings
  5518 with division and modulo operations.  Subsumes former class dvd_mod.
  5519 
  5520 * Merged theories IntDef, Numeral and IntArith into unified theory
  5521 Int.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5522 
  5523 * Theory Library/Code_Index: type "index" now represents natural
  5524 numbers rather than integers.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5525 
  5526 * New class "uminus" with operation "uminus" (split of from class
  5527 "minus" which now only has operation "minus", binary).
  5528 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5529 
  5530 * Constants "card", "internal_split", "option_map" now with authentic
  5531 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5532 
  5533 * Definitions subset_def, psubset_def, set_diff_def, Compl_def,
  5534 le_bool_def, less_bool_def, le_fun_def, less_fun_def, inf_bool_def,
  5535 sup_bool_def, Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, inf_fun_def, sup_fun_def,
  5536 Inf_fun_def, Sup_fun_def, inf_set_def, sup_set_def, Inf_set_def,
  5537 Sup_set_def, le_def, less_def, option_map_def now with object
  5538 equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5539 
  5540 * Records. Removed K_record, and replaced it by pure lambda term
  5541 %x. c. The simplifier setup is now more robust against eta expansion.
  5542 INCOMPATIBILITY: in cases explicitly referring to K_record.
  5543 
  5544 * Library/Multiset: {#a, b, c#} abbreviates {#a#} + {#b#} + {#c#}.
  5545 
  5546 * Library/ListVector: new theory of arithmetic vector operations.
  5547 
  5548 * Library/Order_Relation: new theory of various orderings as sets of
  5549 pairs.  Defines preorders, partial orders, linear orders and
  5550 well-orders on sets and on types.
  5551 
  5552 
  5553 *** ZF ***
  5554 
  5555 * Renamed some theories to allow to loading both ZF and HOL in the
  5556 same session:
  5557 
  5558   Datatype  -> Datatype_ZF
  5559   Inductive -> Inductive_ZF
  5560   Int       -> Int_ZF
  5561   IntDiv    -> IntDiv_ZF
  5562   Nat       -> Nat_ZF
  5563   List      -> List_ZF
  5564   Main      -> Main_ZF
  5565 
  5566 INCOMPATIBILITY: ZF theories that import individual theories below
  5567 Main might need to be adapted.  Regular theory Main is still
  5568 available, as trivial extension of Main_ZF.
  5569 
  5570 
  5571 *** ML ***
  5572 
  5573 * ML within Isar: antiquotation @{const name} or @{const
  5574 name(typargs)} produces statically-checked Const term.
  5575 
  5576 * Functor NamedThmsFun: data is available to the user as dynamic fact
  5577 (of the same name).  Removed obsolete print command.
  5578 
  5579 * Removed obsolete "use_legacy_bindings" function.
  5580 
  5581 * The ``print mode'' is now a thread-local value derived from a global
  5582 template (the former print_mode reference), thus access becomes
  5583 non-critical.  The global print_mode reference is for session
  5584 management only; user-code should use print_mode_value,
  5585 print_mode_active, PrintMode.setmp etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5586 
  5587 * Functions system/system_out provide a robust way to invoke external
  5588 shell commands, with propagation of interrupts (requires Poly/ML
  5589 5.2.1).  Do not use OS.Process.system etc. from the basis library!
  5590 
  5591 
  5592 *** System ***
  5593 
  5594 * Default settings: PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS no longer impose xemacs ---
  5595 in accordance with Proof General 3.7, which prefers GNU emacs.
  5596 
  5597 * isatool tty runs Isabelle process with plain tty interaction;
  5598 optional line editor may be specified via ISABELLE_LINE_EDITOR
  5599 setting, the default settings attempt to locate "ledit" and "rlwrap".
  5600 
  5601 * isatool browser now works with Cygwin as well, using general
  5602 "javapath" function defined in Isabelle process environment.
  5603 
  5604 * YXML notation provides a simple and efficient alternative to
  5605 standard XML transfer syntax.  See src/Pure/General/yxml.ML and
  5606 isatool yxml as described in the Isabelle system manual.
  5607 
  5608 * JVM class isabelle.IsabelleProcess (located in Isabelle/lib/classes)
  5609 provides general wrapper for managing an Isabelle process in a robust
  5610 fashion, with ``cooked'' output from stdin/stderr.
  5611 
  5612 * Rudimentary Isabelle plugin for jEdit (see Isabelle/lib/jedit),
  5613 based on Isabelle/JVM process wrapper (see Isabelle/lib/classes).
  5614 
  5615 * Removed obsolete THIS_IS_ISABELLE_BUILD feature.  NB: the documented
  5616 way of changing the user's settings is via
  5617 ISABELLE_HOME_USER/etc/settings, which is a fully featured bash
  5618 script.
  5619 
  5620 * Multithreading.max_threads := 0 refers to the number of actual CPU
  5621 cores of the underlying machine, which is a good starting point for
  5622 optimal performance tuning.  The corresponding usedir option -M allows
  5623 "max" as an alias for "0".  WARNING: does not work on certain versions
  5624 of Mac OS (with Poly/ML 5.1).
  5625 
  5626 * isabelle-process: non-ML sessions are run with "nice", to reduce the
  5627 adverse effect of Isabelle flooding interactive front-ends (notably
  5628 ProofGeneral / XEmacs).
  5629 
  5630 
  5631 
  5632 New in Isabelle2007 (November 2007)
  5633 -----------------------------------
  5634 
  5635 *** General ***
  5636 
  5637 * More uniform information about legacy features, notably a
  5638 warning/error of "Legacy feature: ...", depending on the state of the
  5639 tolerate_legacy_features flag (default true). FUTURE INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5640 legacy features will disappear eventually.
  5641 
  5642 * Theory syntax: the header format ``theory A = B + C:'' has been
  5643 discontinued in favour of ``theory A imports B C begin''.  Use isatool
  5644 fixheaders to convert existing theory files.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5645 
  5646 * Theory syntax: the old non-Isar theory file format has been
  5647 discontinued altogether.  Note that ML proof scripts may still be used
  5648 with Isar theories; migration is usually quite simple with the ML
  5649 function use_legacy_bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5650 
  5651 * Theory syntax: some popular names (e.g. 'class', 'declaration',
  5652 'fun', 'help', 'if') are now keywords.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use double
  5653 quotes.
  5654 
  5655 * Theory loader: be more serious about observing the static theory
  5656 header specifications (including optional directories), but not the
  5657 accidental file locations of previously successful loads.  The strict
  5658 update policy of former update_thy is now already performed by
  5659 use_thy, so the former has been removed; use_thys updates several
  5660 theories simultaneously, just as 'imports' within a theory header
  5661 specification, but without merging the results.  Potential
  5662 INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to refine theory headers and commands
  5663 ROOT.ML which depend on load order.
  5664 
  5665 * Theory loader: optional support for content-based file
  5666 identification, instead of the traditional scheme of full physical
  5667 path plus date stamp; configured by the ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT setting
  5668 (cf. the system manual).  The new scheme allows to work with
  5669 non-finished theories in persistent session images, such that source
  5670 files may be moved later on without requiring reloads.
  5671 
  5672 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  5673 file (with the same base name as the theory) are considered a legacy
  5674 feature, which will disappear eventually. Even now, the theory loader
  5675 no longer maintains dependencies on such files.
  5676 
  5677 * Syntax: the scope for resolving ambiguities via type-inference is
  5678 now limited to individual terms, instead of whole simultaneous
  5679 specifications as before. This greatly reduces the complexity of the
  5680 syntax module and improves flexibility by separating parsing and
  5681 type-checking. INCOMPATIBILITY: additional type-constraints (explicit
  5682 'fixes' etc.) are required in rare situations.
  5683 
  5684 * Syntax: constants introduced by new-style packages ('definition',
  5685 'abbreviation' etc.) are passed through the syntax module in
  5686 ``authentic mode''. This means that associated mixfix annotations
  5687 really stick to such constants, independently of potential name space
  5688 ambiguities introduced later on. INCOMPATIBILITY: constants in parse
  5689 trees are represented slightly differently, may need to adapt syntax
  5690 translations accordingly. Use CONST marker in 'translations' and
  5691 @{const_syntax} antiquotation in 'parse_translation' etc.
  5692 
  5693 * Legacy goal package: reduced interface to the bare minimum required
  5694 to keep existing proof scripts running.  Most other user-level
  5695 functions are now part of the OldGoals structure, which is *not* open
  5696 by default (consider isatool expandshort before open OldGoals).
  5697 Removed top_sg, prin, printyp, pprint_term/typ altogether, because
  5698 these tend to cause confusion about the actual goal (!) context being
  5699 used here, which is not necessarily the same as the_context().
  5700 
  5701 * Command 'find_theorems': supports "*" wild-card in "name:"
  5702 criterion; "with_dups" option.  Certain ProofGeneral versions might
  5703 support a specific search form (see ProofGeneral/CHANGES).
  5704 
  5705 * The ``prems limit'' option (cf. ProofContext.prems_limit) is now -1
  5706 by default, which means that "prems" (and also "fixed variables") are
  5707 suppressed from proof state output.  Note that the ProofGeneral
  5708 settings mechanism allows to change and save options persistently, but
  5709 older versions of Isabelle will fail to start up if a negative prems
  5710 limit is imposed.
  5711 
  5712 * Local theory targets may be specified by non-nested blocks of
  5713 ``context/locale/class ... begin'' followed by ``end''.  The body may
  5714 contain definitions, theorems etc., including any derived mechanism
  5715 that has been implemented on top of these primitives.  This concept
  5716 generalizes the existing ``theorem (in ...)'' towards more versatility
  5717 and scalability.
  5718 
  5719 * Proof General interface: proper undo of final 'end' command;
  5720 discontinued Isabelle/classic mode (ML proof scripts).
  5721 
  5722 
  5723 *** Document preparation ***
  5724 
  5725 * Added antiquotation @{theory name} which prints the given name,
  5726 after checking that it refers to a valid ancestor theory in the
  5727 current context.
  5728 
  5729 * Added antiquotations @{ML_type text} and @{ML_struct text} which
  5730 check the given source text as ML type/structure, printing verbatim.
  5731 
  5732 * Added antiquotation @{abbrev "c args"} which prints the abbreviation
  5733 "c args == rhs" given in the current context.  (Any number of
  5734 arguments may be given on the LHS.)
  5735 
  5736 
  5737 *** Pure ***
  5738 
  5739 * The 'class' package offers a combination of axclass and locale to
  5740 achieve Haskell-like type classes in Isabelle.  Definitions and
  5741 theorems within a class context produce both relative results (with
  5742 implicit parameters according to the locale context), and polymorphic
  5743 constants with qualified polymorphism (according to the class
  5744 context).  Within the body context of a 'class' target, a separate
  5745 syntax layer ("user space type system") takes care of converting
  5746 between global polymorphic consts and internal locale representation.
  5747 See src/HOL/ex/Classpackage.thy for examples (as well as main HOL).
  5748 "isatool doc classes" provides a tutorial.
  5749 
  5750 * Generic code generator framework allows to generate executable
  5751 code for ML and Haskell (including Isabelle classes).  A short usage
  5752 sketch:
  5753 
  5754     internal compilation:
  5755         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML
  5756     writing SML code to a file:
  5757         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML <filename>
  5758     writing OCaml code to a file:
  5759         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in OCaml <filename>
  5760     writing Haskell code to a bunch of files:
  5761         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in Haskell <filename>
  5762 
  5763     evaluating closed propositions to True/False using code generation:
  5764         method ``eval''
  5765 
  5766 Reasonable default setup of framework in HOL.
  5767 
  5768 Theorem attributs for selecting and transforming function equations theorems:
  5769 
  5770     [code fun]:        select a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  5771     [code fun del]:    deselect a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  5772     [code inline]:     select an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  5773     [code inline del]: deselect an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  5774 
  5775 User-defined serializations (target in {SML, OCaml, Haskell}):
  5776 
  5777     code_const <and-list of constants (term syntax)>
  5778       {(target) <and-list of const target syntax>}+
  5779 
  5780     code_type <and-list of type constructors>
  5781       {(target) <and-list of type target syntax>}+
  5782 
  5783     code_instance <and-list of instances>
  5784       {(target)}+
  5785         where instance ::= <type constructor> :: <class>
  5786 
  5787     code_class <and_list of classes>
  5788       {(target) <and-list of class target syntax>}+
  5789         where class target syntax ::= <class name> {where {<classop> == <target syntax>}+}?
  5790 
  5791 code_instance and code_class only are effective to target Haskell.
  5792 
  5793 For example usage see src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator.thy and
  5794 src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator_Pretty.thy.  A separate tutorial on code
  5795 generation from Isabelle/HOL theories is available via "isatool doc
  5796 codegen".
  5797 
  5798 * Code generator: consts in 'consts_code' Isar commands are now
  5799 referred to by usual term syntax (including optional type
  5800 annotations).
  5801 
  5802 * Command 'no_translations' removes translation rules from theory
  5803 syntax.
  5804 
  5805 * Overloaded definitions are now actually checked for acyclic
  5806 dependencies.  The overloading scheme is slightly more general than
  5807 that of Haskell98, although Isabelle does not demand an exact
  5808 correspondence to type class and instance declarations.
  5809 INCOMPATIBILITY, use ``defs (unchecked overloaded)'' to admit more
  5810 exotic versions of overloading -- at the discretion of the user!
  5811 
  5812 Polymorphic constants are represented via type arguments, i.e. the
  5813 instantiation that matches an instance against the most general
  5814 declaration given in the signature.  For example, with the declaration
  5815 c :: 'a => 'a => 'a, an instance c :: nat => nat => nat is represented
  5816 as c(nat).  Overloading is essentially simultaneous structural
  5817 recursion over such type arguments.  Incomplete specification patterns
  5818 impose global constraints on all occurrences, e.g. c('a * 'a) on the
  5819 LHS means that more general c('a * 'b) will be disallowed on any RHS.
  5820 Command 'print_theory' outputs the normalized system of recursive
  5821 equations, see section "definitions".
  5822 
  5823 * Configuration options are maintained within the theory or proof
  5824 context (with name and type bool/int/string), providing a very simple
  5825 interface to a poor-man's version of general context data.  Tools may
  5826 declare options in ML (e.g. using Attrib.config_int) and then refer to
  5827 these values using Config.get etc.  Users may change options via an
  5828 associated attribute of the same name.  This form of context
  5829 declaration works particularly well with commands 'declare' or
  5830 'using', for example ``declare [[foo = 42]]''.  Thus it has become
  5831 very easy to avoid global references, which would not observe Isar
  5832 toplevel undo/redo and fail to work with multithreading.
  5833 
  5834 Various global ML references of Pure and HOL have been turned into
  5835 configuration options:
  5836 
  5837   Unify.search_bound		unify_search_bound
  5838   Unify.trace_bound		unify_trace_bound
  5839   Unify.trace_simp		unify_trace_simp
  5840   Unify.trace_types		unify_trace_types
  5841   Simplifier.simp_depth_limit	simp_depth_limit
  5842   Blast.depth_limit		blast_depth_limit
  5843   DatatypeProp.dtK		datatype_distinctness_limit
  5844   fast_arith_neq_limit  	fast_arith_neq_limit
  5845   fast_arith_split_limit	fast_arith_split_limit
  5846 
  5847 * Named collections of theorems may be easily installed as context
  5848 data using the functor NamedThmsFun (see also
  5849 src/Pure/Tools/named_thms.ML).  The user may add or delete facts via
  5850 attributes; there is also a toplevel print command.  This facility is
  5851 just a common case of general context data, which is the preferred way
  5852 for anything more complex than just a list of facts in canonical
  5853 order.
  5854 
  5855 * Isar: command 'declaration' augments a local theory by generic
  5856 declaration functions written in ML.  This enables arbitrary content
  5857 being added to the context, depending on a morphism that tells the
  5858 difference of the original declaration context wrt. the application
  5859 context encountered later on.
  5860 
  5861 * Isar: proper interfaces for simplification procedures.  Command
  5862 'simproc_setup' declares named simprocs (with match patterns, and body
  5863 text in ML).  Attribute "simproc" adds/deletes simprocs in the current
  5864 context.  ML antiquotation @{simproc name} retrieves named simprocs.
  5865 
  5866 * Isar: an extra pair of brackets around attribute declarations
  5867 abbreviates a theorem reference involving an internal dummy fact,
  5868 which will be ignored later --- only the effect of the attribute on
  5869 the background context will persist.  This form of in-place
  5870 declarations is particularly useful with commands like 'declare' and
  5871 'using', for example ``have A using [[simproc a]] by simp''.
  5872 
  5873 * Isar: method "assumption" (and implicit closing of subproofs) now
  5874 takes simple non-atomic goal assumptions into account: after applying
  5875 an assumption as a rule the resulting subgoals are solved by atomic
  5876 assumption steps.  This is particularly useful to finish 'obtain'
  5877 goals, such as "!!x. (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> P x ==> thesis",
  5878 without referring to the original premise "!!x. P x ==> thesis" in the
  5879 Isar proof context.  POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY: method "assumption" is
  5880 more permissive.
  5881 
  5882 * Isar: implicit use of prems from the Isar proof context is
  5883 considered a legacy feature.  Common applications like ``have A .''
  5884 may be replaced by ``have A by fact'' or ``note `A`''.  In general,
  5885 referencing facts explicitly here improves readability and
  5886 maintainability of proof texts.
  5887 
  5888 * Isar: improper proof element 'guess' is like 'obtain', but derives
  5889 the obtained context from the course of reasoning!  For example:
  5890 
  5891   assume "EX x y. A x & B y"   -- "any previous fact"
  5892   then guess x and y by clarify
  5893 
  5894 This technique is potentially adventurous, depending on the facts and
  5895 proof tools being involved here.
  5896 
  5897 * Isar: known facts from the proof context may be specified as literal
  5898 propositions, using ASCII back-quote syntax.  This works wherever
  5899 named facts used to be allowed so far, in proof commands, proof
  5900 methods, attributes etc.  Literal facts are retrieved from the context
  5901 according to unification of type and term parameters.  For example,
  5902 provided that "A" and "A ==> B" and "!!x. P x ==> Q x" are known
  5903 theorems in the current context, then these are valid literal facts:
  5904 `A` and `A ==> B` and `!!x. P x ==> Q x" as well as `P a ==> Q a` etc.
  5905 
  5906 There is also a proof method "fact" which does the same composition
  5907 for explicit goal states, e.g. the following proof texts coincide with
  5908 certain special cases of literal facts:
  5909 
  5910   have "A" by fact                 ==  note `A`
  5911   have "A ==> B" by fact           ==  note `A ==> B`
  5912   have "!!x. P x ==> Q x" by fact  ==  note `!!x. P x ==> Q x`
  5913   have "P a ==> Q a" by fact       ==  note `P a ==> Q a`
  5914 
  5915 * Isar: ":" (colon) is no longer a symbolic identifier character in
  5916 outer syntax.  Thus symbolic identifiers may be used without
  5917 additional white space in declarations like this: ``assume *: A''.
  5918 
  5919 * Isar: 'print_facts' prints all local facts of the current context,
  5920 both named and unnamed ones.
  5921 
  5922 * Isar: 'def' now admits simultaneous definitions, e.g.:
  5923 
  5924   def x == "t" and y == "u"
  5925 
  5926 * Isar: added command 'unfolding', which is structurally similar to
  5927 'using', but affects both the goal state and facts by unfolding given
  5928 rewrite rules.  Thus many occurrences of the 'unfold' method or
  5929 'unfolded' attribute may be replaced by first-class proof text.
  5930 
  5931 * Isar: methods 'unfold' / 'fold', attributes 'unfolded' / 'folded',
  5932 and command 'unfolding' now all support object-level equalities
  5933 (potentially conditional).  The underlying notion of rewrite rule is
  5934 analogous to the 'rule_format' attribute, but *not* that of the
  5935 Simplifier (which is usually more generous).
  5936 
  5937 * Isar: the new attribute [rotated n] (default n = 1) rotates the
  5938 premises of a theorem by n. Useful in conjunction with drule.
  5939 
  5940 * Isar: the goal restriction operator [N] (default N = 1) evaluates a
  5941 method expression within a sandbox consisting of the first N
  5942 sub-goals, which need to exist.  For example, ``simp_all [3]''
  5943 simplifies the first three sub-goals, while (rule foo, simp_all)[]
  5944 simplifies all new goals that emerge from applying rule foo to the
  5945 originally first one.
  5946 
  5947 * Isar: schematic goals are no longer restricted to higher-order
  5948 patterns; e.g. ``lemma "?P(?x)" by (rule TrueI)'' now works as
  5949 expected.
  5950 
  5951 * Isar: the conclusion of a long theorem statement is now either
  5952 'shows' (a simultaneous conjunction, as before), or 'obtains'
  5953 (essentially a disjunction of cases with local parameters and
  5954 assumptions).  The latter allows to express general elimination rules
  5955 adequately; in this notation common elimination rules look like this:
  5956 
  5957   lemma exE:    -- "EX x. P x ==> (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5958     assumes "EX x. P x"
  5959     obtains x where "P x"
  5960 
  5961   lemma conjE:  -- "A & B ==> (A ==> B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5962     assumes "A & B"
  5963     obtains A and B
  5964 
  5965   lemma disjE:  -- "A | B ==> (A ==> thesis) ==> (B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5966     assumes "A | B"
  5967     obtains
  5968       A
  5969     | B
  5970 
  5971 The subsequent classical rules even refer to the formal "thesis"
  5972 explicitly:
  5973 
  5974   lemma classical:     -- "(~ thesis ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5975     obtains "~ thesis"
  5976 
  5977   lemma Peirce's_Law:  -- "((thesis ==> something) ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5978     obtains "thesis ==> something"
  5979 
  5980 The actual proof of an 'obtains' statement is analogous to that of the
  5981 Isar proof element 'obtain', only that there may be several cases.
  5982 Optional case names may be specified in parentheses; these will be
  5983 available both in the present proof and as annotations in the
  5984 resulting rule, for later use with the 'cases' method (cf. attribute
  5985 case_names).
  5986 
  5987 * Isar: the assumptions of a long theorem statement are available as
  5988 "assms" fact in the proof context.  This is more appropriate than the
  5989 (historical) "prems", which refers to all assumptions of the current
  5990 context, including those from the target locale, proof body etc.
  5991 
  5992 * Isar: 'print_statement' prints theorems from the current theory or
  5993 proof context in long statement form, according to the syntax of a
  5994 top-level lemma.
  5995 
  5996 * Isar: 'obtain' takes an optional case name for the local context
  5997 introduction rule (default "that").
  5998 
  5999 * Isar: removed obsolete 'concl is' patterns.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  6000 explicit (is "_ ==> ?foo") in the rare cases where this still happens
  6001 to occur.
  6002 
  6003 * Pure: syntax "CONST name" produces a fully internalized constant
  6004 according to the current context.  This is particularly useful for
  6005 syntax translations that should refer to internal constant
  6006 representations independently of name spaces.
  6007 
  6008 * Pure: syntax constant for foo (binder "FOO ") is called "foo_binder"
  6009 instead of "FOO ". This allows multiple binder declarations to coexist
  6010 in the same context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6011 
  6012 * Isar/locales: 'notation' provides a robust interface to the 'syntax'
  6013 primitive that also works in a locale context (both for constants and
  6014 fixed variables). Type declaration and internal syntactic representation
  6015 of given constants retrieved from the context. Likewise, the
  6016 'no_notation' command allows to remove given syntax annotations from the
  6017 current context.
  6018 
  6019 * Isar/locales: new derived specification elements 'axiomatization',
  6020 'definition', 'abbreviation', which support type-inference, admit
  6021 object-level specifications (equality, equivalence).  See also the
  6022 isar-ref manual.  Examples:
  6023 
  6024   axiomatization
  6025     eq  (infix "===" 50) where
  6026     eq_refl: "x === x" and eq_subst: "x === y ==> P x ==> P y"
  6027 
  6028   definition "f x y = x + y + 1"
  6029   definition g where "g x = f x x"
  6030 
  6031   abbreviation
  6032     neq  (infix "=!=" 50) where
  6033     "x =!= y == ~ (x === y)"
  6034 
  6035 These specifications may be also used in a locale context.  Then the
  6036 constants being introduced depend on certain fixed parameters, and the
  6037 constant name is qualified by the locale base name.  An internal
  6038 abbreviation takes care for convenient input and output, making the
  6039 parameters implicit and using the original short name.  See also
  6040 src/HOL/ex/Abstract_NAT.thy for an example of deriving polymorphic
  6041 entities from a monomorphic theory.
  6042 
  6043 Presently, abbreviations are only available 'in' a target locale, but
  6044 not inherited by general import expressions.  Also note that
  6045 'abbreviation' may be used as a type-safe replacement for 'syntax' +
  6046 'translations' in common applications.  The "no_abbrevs" print mode
  6047 prevents folding of abbreviations in term output.
  6048 
  6049 Concrete syntax is attached to specified constants in internal form,
  6050 independently of name spaces.  The parse tree representation is
  6051 slightly different -- use 'notation' instead of raw 'syntax', and
  6052 'translations' with explicit "CONST" markup to accommodate this.
  6053 
  6054 * Pure/Isar: unified syntax for new-style specification mechanisms
  6055 (e.g.  'definition', 'abbreviation', or 'inductive' in HOL) admits
  6056 full type inference and dummy patterns ("_").  For example:
  6057 
  6058   definition "K x _ = x"
  6059 
  6060   inductive conj for A B
  6061   where "A ==> B ==> conj A B"
  6062 
  6063 * Pure: command 'print_abbrevs' prints all constant abbreviations of
  6064 the current context.  Print mode "no_abbrevs" prevents inversion of
  6065 abbreviations on output.
  6066 
  6067 * Isar/locales: improved parameter handling: use of locales "var" and
  6068 "struct" no longer necessary; - parameter renamings are no longer
  6069 required to be injective.  For example, this allows to define
  6070 endomorphisms as locale endom = homom mult mult h.
  6071 
  6072 * Isar/locales: changed the way locales with predicates are defined.
  6073 Instead of accumulating the specification, the imported expression is
  6074 now an interpretation.  INCOMPATIBILITY: different normal form of
  6075 locale expressions.  In particular, in interpretations of locales with
  6076 predicates, goals repesenting already interpreted fragments are not
  6077 removed automatically.  Use methods `intro_locales' and
  6078 `unfold_locales'; see below.
  6079 
  6080 * Isar/locales: new methods `intro_locales' and `unfold_locales'
  6081 provide backward reasoning on locales predicates.  The methods are
  6082 aware of interpretations and discharge corresponding goals.
  6083 `intro_locales' is less aggressive then `unfold_locales' and does not
  6084 unfold predicates to assumptions.
  6085 
  6086 * Isar/locales: the order in which locale fragments are accumulated
  6087 has changed.  This enables to override declarations from fragments due
  6088 to interpretations -- for example, unwanted simp rules.
  6089 
  6090 * Isar/locales: interpretation in theories and proof contexts has been
  6091 extended.  One may now specify (and prove) equations, which are
  6092 unfolded in interpreted theorems.  This is useful for replacing
  6093 defined concepts (constants depending on locale parameters) by
  6094 concepts already existing in the target context.  Example:
  6095 
  6096   interpretation partial_order ["op <= :: [int, int] => bool"]
  6097     where "partial_order.less (op <=) (x::int) y = (x < y)"
  6098 
  6099 Typically, the constant `partial_order.less' is created by a
  6100 definition specification element in the context of locale
  6101 partial_order.
  6102 
  6103 * Method "induct": improved internal context management to support
  6104 local fixes and defines on-the-fly. Thus explicit meta-level
  6105 connectives !!  and ==> are rarely required anymore in inductive goals
  6106 (using object-logic connectives for this purpose has been long
  6107 obsolete anyway). Common proof patterns are explained in
  6108 src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, see also
  6109 src/HOL/Isar_examples/Puzzle.thy and src/HOL/Lambda for realistic
  6110 examples.
  6111 
  6112 * Method "induct": improved handling of simultaneous goals. Instead of
  6113 introducing object-level conjunction, the statement is now split into
  6114 several conclusions, while the corresponding symbolic cases are nested
  6115 accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY, proofs need to be structured explicitly,
  6116 see src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, for example.
  6117 
  6118 * Method "induct": mutual induction rules are now specified as a list
  6119 of rule sharing the same induction cases. HOL packages usually provide
  6120 foo_bar.inducts for mutually defined items foo and bar (e.g. inductive
  6121 predicates/sets or datatypes). INCOMPATIBILITY, users need to specify
  6122 mutual induction rules differently, i.e. like this:
  6123 
  6124   (induct rule: foo_bar.inducts)
  6125   (induct set: foo bar)
  6126   (induct pred: foo bar)
  6127   (induct type: foo bar)
  6128 
  6129 The ML function ProjectRule.projections turns old-style rules into the
  6130 new format.
  6131 
  6132 * Method "coinduct": dual of induction, see
  6133 src/HOL/Library/Coinductive_List.thy for various examples.
  6134 
  6135 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": the ``(open)'' option is
  6136 considered a legacy feature.
  6137 
  6138 * Attribute "symmetric" produces result with standardized schematic
  6139 variables (index 0).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6140 
  6141 * Simplifier: by default the simplifier trace only shows top level
  6142 rewrites now. That is, trace_simp_depth_limit is set to 1 by
  6143 default. Thus there is less danger of being flooded by the trace. The
  6144 trace indicates where parts have been suppressed.
  6145   
  6146 * Provers/classical: removed obsolete classical version of elim_format
  6147 attribute; classical elim/dest rules are now treated uniformly when
  6148 manipulating the claset.
  6149 
  6150 * Provers/classical: stricter checks to ensure that supplied intro,
  6151 dest and elim rules are well-formed; dest and elim rules must have at
  6152 least one premise.
  6153 
  6154 * Provers/classical: attributes dest/elim/intro take an optional
  6155 weight argument for the rule (just as the Pure versions).  Weights are
  6156 ignored by automated tools, but determine the search order of single
  6157 rule steps.
  6158 
  6159 * Syntax: input syntax now supports dummy variable binding "%_. b",
  6160 where the body does not mention the bound variable.  Note that dummy
  6161 patterns implicitly depend on their context of bounds, which makes
  6162 "{_. _}" match any set comprehension as expected.  Potential
  6163 INCOMPATIBILITY -- parse translations need to cope with syntactic
  6164 constant "_idtdummy" in the binding position.
  6165 
  6166 * Syntax: removed obsolete syntactic constant "_K" and its associated
  6167 parse translation.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- use dummy abstraction instead,
  6168 for example "A -> B" => "Pi A (%_. B)".
  6169 
  6170 * Pure: 'class_deps' command visualizes the subclass relation, using
  6171 the graph browser tool.
  6172 
  6173 * Pure: 'print_theory' now suppresses certain internal declarations by
  6174 default; use '!' option for full details.
  6175 
  6176 
  6177 *** HOL ***
  6178 
  6179 * Method "metis" proves goals by applying the Metis general-purpose
  6180 resolution prover (see also http://gilith.com/software/metis/).
  6181 Examples are in the directory MetisExamples.  WARNING: the
  6182 Isabelle/HOL-Metis integration does not yet work properly with
  6183 multi-threading.
  6184   
  6185 * Command 'sledgehammer' invokes external automatic theorem provers as
  6186 background processes.  It generates calls to the "metis" method if
  6187 successful. These can be pasted into the proof.  Users do not have to
  6188 wait for the automatic provers to return.  WARNING: does not really
  6189 work with multi-threading.
  6190 
  6191 * New "auto_quickcheck" feature tests outermost goal statements for
  6192 potential counter-examples.  Controlled by ML references
  6193 auto_quickcheck (default true) and auto_quickcheck_time_limit (default
  6194 5000 milliseconds).  Fails silently if statements is outside of
  6195 executable fragment, or any other codgenerator problem occurs.
  6196 
  6197 * New constant "undefined" with axiom "undefined x = undefined".
  6198 
  6199 * Added class "HOL.eq", allowing for code generation with polymorphic
  6200 equality.
  6201 
  6202 * Some renaming of class constants due to canonical name prefixing in
  6203 the new 'class' package:
  6204 
  6205     HOL.abs ~> HOL.abs_class.abs
  6206     HOL.divide ~> HOL.divide_class.divide
  6207     0 ~> HOL.zero_class.zero

  6224     Divides.op dvd ~> Divides.div_class.dvd
  6225 
  6226 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Adaptions may be required in the following cases:
  6227 
  6228 a) User-defined constants using any of the names "plus", "minus",
  6229 "times", "less" or "less_eq". The standard syntax translations for
  6230 "+", "-" and "*" may go wrong.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific
  6231 names.
  6232 
  6233 b) Variables named "plus", "minus", "times", "less", "less_eq"
  6234 INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific names.
  6235 
  6236 c) Permutative equations (e.g. "a + b = b + a")
  6237 Since the change of names also changes the order of terms, permutative
  6238 rewrite rules may get applied in a different order. Experience shows
  6239 that this is rarely the case (only two adaptions in the whole Isabelle
  6240 distribution).  INCOMPATIBILITY: rewrite proofs
  6241 
  6242 d) ML code directly refering to constant names
  6243 This in general only affects hand-written proof tactics, simprocs and
  6244 so on.  INCOMPATIBILITY: grep your sourcecode and replace names.
  6245 Consider using @{const_name} antiquotation.
  6246 
  6247 * New class "default" with associated constant "default".
  6248 
  6249 * Function "sgn" is now overloaded and available on int, real, complex
  6250 (and other numeric types), using class "sgn".  Two possible defs of
  6251 sgn are given as equational assumptions in the classes sgn_if and
  6252 sgn_div_norm; ordered_idom now also inherits from sgn_if.
  6253 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6254 
  6255 * Locale "partial_order" now unified with class "order" (cf. theory
  6256 Orderings), added parameter "less".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6257 
  6258 * Renamings in classes "order" and "linorder": facts "refl", "trans" and
  6259 "cases" to "order_refl", "order_trans" and "linorder_cases", to avoid
  6260 clashes with HOL "refl" and "trans".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6261 
  6262 * Classes "order" and "linorder": potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to
  6263 changed order of proof goals in instance proofs.
  6264 
  6265 * The transitivity reasoner for partial and linear orders is set up
  6266 for classes "order" and "linorder".  Instances of the reasoner are available
  6267 in all contexts importing or interpreting the corresponding locales.
  6268 Method "order" invokes the reasoner separately; the reasoner
  6269 is also integrated with the Simplifier as a solver.  Diagnostic
  6270 command 'print_orders' shows the available instances of the reasoner
  6271 in the current context.
  6272 
  6273 * Localized monotonicity predicate in theory "Orderings"; integrated
  6274 lemmas max_of_mono and min_of_mono with this predicate.
  6275 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6276 
  6277 * Formulation of theorem "dense" changed slightly due to integration
  6278 with new class dense_linear_order.
  6279 
  6280 * Uniform lattice theory development in HOL.
  6281 
  6282     constants "meet" and "join" now named "inf" and "sup"
  6283     constant "Meet" now named "Inf"
  6284 
  6285     classes "meet_semilorder" and "join_semilorder" now named
  6286       "lower_semilattice" and "upper_semilattice"
  6287     class "lorder" now named "lattice"
  6288     class "comp_lat" now named "complete_lattice"
  6289 
  6290     Instantiation of lattice classes allows explicit definitions
  6291     for "inf" and "sup" operations (or "Inf" and "Sup" for complete lattices).
  6292 
  6293   INCOMPATIBILITY.  Theorem renames:
  6294 
  6295     meet_left_le            ~> inf_le1
  6296     meet_right_le           ~> inf_le2

  6395 
  6396 * Added syntactic class "size"; overloaded constant "size" now has
  6397 type "'a::size ==> bool"
  6398 
  6399 * Internal reorganisation of `size' of datatypes: size theorems
  6400 "foo.size" are no longer subsumed by "foo.simps" (but are still
  6401 simplification rules by default!); theorems "prod.size" now named
  6402 "*.size".
  6403 
  6404 * Class "div" now inherits from class "times" rather than "type".
  6405 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6406 
  6407 * HOL/Finite_Set: "name-space" locales Lattice, Distrib_lattice,
  6408 Linorder etc.  have disappeared; operations defined in terms of
  6409 fold_set now are named Inf_fin, Sup_fin.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6410 
  6411 * HOL/Nat: neq0_conv no longer declared as iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6412 
  6413 * HOL-Word: New extensive library and type for generic, fixed size
  6414 machine words, with arithmetic, bit-wise, shifting and rotating
  6415 operations, reflection into int, nat, and bool lists, automation for
  6416 linear arithmetic (by automatic reflection into nat or int), including
  6417 lemmas on overflow and monotonicity.  Instantiated to all appropriate
  6418 arithmetic type classes, supporting automatic simplification of
  6419 numerals on all operations.
  6420 
  6421 * Library/Boolean_Algebra: locales for abstract boolean algebras.
  6422 
  6423 * Library/Numeral_Type: numbers as types, e.g. TYPE(32).
  6424 
  6425 * Code generator library theories:
  6426   - Code_Integer represents HOL integers by big integer literals in target
  6427     languages.
  6428   - Code_Char represents HOL characters by character literals in target
  6429     languages.
  6430   - Code_Char_chr like Code_Char, but also offers treatment of character
  6431     codes; includes Code_Integer.
  6432   - Executable_Set allows to generate code for finite sets using lists.
  6433   - Executable_Rat implements rational numbers as triples (sign, enumerator,
  6434     denominator).
  6435   - Executable_Real implements a subset of real numbers, namly those
  6436     representable by rational numbers.
  6437   - Efficient_Nat implements natural numbers by integers, which in general will
  6438     result in higher efficency; pattern matching with 0/Suc is eliminated;
  6439     includes Code_Integer.
  6440   - Code_Index provides an additional datatype index which is mapped to
  6441     target-language built-in integers.
  6442   - Code_Message provides an additional datatype message_string which is isomorphic to
  6443     strings; messages are mapped to target-language strings.
  6444 
  6445 * New package for inductive predicates
  6446 
  6447   An n-ary predicate p with m parameters z_1, ..., z_m can now be defined via
  6448 
  6449     inductive
  6450       p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6451       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6452     where
  6453       rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  6454     | ...
  6455 
  6456   with full support for type-inference, rather than
  6457 
  6458     consts s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6459 
  6460     abbreviation p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6461     where "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6462 
  6463     inductive "s z_1 ... z_m"
  6464     intros
  6465       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6466       ...
  6467 
  6468   For backward compatibility, there is a wrapper allowing inductive
  6469   sets to be defined with the new package via
  6470 
  6471     inductive_set
  6472       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6473       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6474     where
  6475       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6476     | ...
  6477 
  6478   or
  6479 
  6480     inductive_set
  6481       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6482       and p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6483       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6484     where
  6485       "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6486     | rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  6487     | ...
  6488 
  6489   if the additional syntax "p ..." is required.
  6490 
  6491   Numerous examples can be found in the subdirectories src/HOL/Auth,
  6492   src/HOL/Bali, src/HOL/Induct, and src/HOL/MicroJava.
  6493 
  6494   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  6495 
  6496   - Since declaration and definition of inductive sets or predicates
  6497     is no longer separated, abbreviations involving the newly
  6498     introduced sets or predicates must be specified together with the
  6499     introduction rules after the 'where' keyword (see above), rather
  6500     than before the actual inductive definition.
  6501 
  6502   - The variables in induction and elimination rules are now
  6503     quantified in the order of their occurrence in the introduction
  6504     rules, rather than in alphabetical order. Since this may break
  6505     some proofs, these proofs either have to be repaired, e.g. by
  6506     reordering the variables a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i} in Isar 'case'
  6507     statements of the form
  6508 
  6509       case (rule_i a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i})
  6510 
  6511     or the old order of quantification has to be restored by explicitly adding
  6512     meta-level quantifiers in the introduction rules, i.e.
  6513 
  6514       | rule_i: "!!a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i}. ... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_i_1 ... t_i_n"
  6515 
  6516   - The format of the elimination rules is now
  6517 
  6518       p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n ==>
  6519         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  6520         ==> ... ==> P
  6521 
  6522     for predicates and
  6523 
  6524       (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  6525         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  6526         ==> ... ==> P
  6527 
  6528     for sets rather than
  6529 
  6530       x : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  6531         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x = (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) ==> ... ==> P)
  6532         ==> ... ==> P
  6533 
  6534     This may require terms in goals to be expanded to n-tuples
  6535     (e.g. using case_tac or simplification with the split_paired_all
  6536     rule) before the above elimination rule is applicable.
  6537 
  6538   - The elimination or case analysis rules for (mutually) inductive
  6539     sets or predicates are now called "p_1.cases" ... "p_k.cases". The
  6540     list of rules "p_1_..._p_k.elims" is no longer available.
  6541 
  6542 * New package "function"/"fun" for general recursive functions,
  6543 supporting mutual and nested recursion, definitions in local contexts,
  6544 more general pattern matching and partiality. See HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy
  6545 for small examples, and the separate tutorial on the function
  6546 package. The old recdef "package" is still available as before, but
  6547 users are encouraged to use the new package.
  6548 
  6549 * Method "lexicographic_order" automatically synthesizes termination
  6550 relations as lexicographic combinations of size measures. 
  6551 
  6552 * Case-expressions allow arbitrary constructor-patterns (including
  6553 "_") and take their order into account, like in functional
  6554 programming.  Internally, this is translated into nested
  6555 case-expressions; missing cases are added and mapped to the predefined
  6556 constant "undefined". In complicated cases printing may no longer show
  6557 the original input but the internal form. Lambda-abstractions allow
  6558 the same form of pattern matching: "% pat1 => e1 | ..." is an
  6559 abbreviation for "%x. case x of pat1 => e1 | ..." where x is a new
  6560 variable.
  6561 
  6562 * IntDef: The constant "int :: nat => int" has been removed; now "int"
  6563 is an abbreviation for "of_nat :: nat => int". The simplification
  6564 rules for "of_nat" have been changed to work like "int" did
  6565 previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6566   - "of_nat (Suc m)" simplifies to "1 + of_nat m" instead of "of_nat m + 1"
  6567   - of_nat_diff and of_nat_mult are no longer default simp rules
  6568 
  6569 * Method "algebra" solves polynomial equations over (semi)rings using
  6570 Groebner bases. The (semi)ring structure is defined by locales and the
  6571 tool setup depends on that generic context. Installing the method for
  6572 a specific type involves instantiating the locale and possibly adding
  6573 declarations for computation on the coefficients.  The method is
  6574 already instantiated for natural numbers and for the axiomatic class
  6575 of idoms with numerals.  See also the paper by Chaieb and Wenzel at
  6576 CALCULEMUS 2007 for the general principles underlying this
  6577 architecture of context-aware proof-tools.
  6578 
  6579 * Method "ferrack" implements quantifier elimination over
  6580 special-purpose dense linear orders using locales (analogous to
  6581 "algebra"). The method is already installed for class
  6582 {ordered_field,recpower,number_ring} which subsumes real, hyperreal,
  6583 rat, etc.
  6584 
  6585 * Former constant "List.op @" now named "List.append".  Use ML
  6586 antiquotations @{const_name List.append} or @{term " ... @ ... "} to
  6587 circumvent possible incompatibilities when working on ML level.
  6588 
  6589 * primrec: missing cases mapped to "undefined" instead of "arbitrary".
  6590 
  6591 * New function listsum :: 'a list => 'a for arbitrary monoids.
  6592 Special syntax: "SUM x <- xs. f x" (and latex variants)
  6593 
  6594 * New syntax for Haskell-like list comprehension (input only), eg.
  6595 [(x,y). x <- xs, y <- ys, x ~= y], see also src/HOL/List.thy.
  6596 
  6597 * The special syntax for function "filter" has changed from [x :
  6598 xs. P] to [x <- xs. P] to avoid an ambiguity caused by list
  6599 comprehension syntax, and for uniformity.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6600 
  6601 * [a..b] is now defined for arbitrary linear orders.  It used to be
  6602 defined on nat only, as an abbreviation for [a..<Suc b]
  6603 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6604 
  6605 * Renamed lemma "set_take_whileD"  to "set_takeWhileD".
  6606 
  6607 * New functions "sorted" and "sort" in src/HOL/List.thy.
  6608 
  6609 * New lemma collection field_simps (an extension of ring_simps) for
  6610 manipulating (in)equations involving division. Multiplies with all
  6611 denominators that can be proved to be non-zero (in equations) or
  6612 positive/negative (in inequations).
  6613 
  6614 * Lemma collections ring_eq_simps, group_eq_simps and ring_distrib
  6615 have been improved and renamed to ring_simps, group_simps and
  6616 ring_distribs.  Removed lemmas field_xyz in theory Ring_and_Field
  6617 because they were subsumed by lemmas xyz.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6618 
  6619 * Theory Library/Commutative_Ring: switched from recdef to function
  6620 package; constants add, mul, pow now curried.  Infix syntax for
  6621 algebraic operations.
  6622 
  6623 * Dropped redundant lemma def_imp_eq in favor of meta_eq_to_obj_eq.
  6624 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6625 
  6626 * Dropped redundant lemma if_def2 in favor of if_bool_eq_conj.
  6627 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6628 
  6629 * HOL/records: generalised field-update to take a function on the
  6630 field rather than the new value: r(|A := x|) is translated to A_update
  6631 (K x) r The K-combinator that is internally used is called K_record.
  6632 INCOMPATIBILITY: Usage of the plain update functions has to be
  6633 adapted.
  6634  
  6635 * Class "semiring_0" now contains annihilation axioms x * 0 = 0 and 0
  6636 * x = 0, which are required for a semiring.  Richer structures do not
  6637 inherit from semiring_0 anymore, because this property is a theorem
  6638 there, not an axiom.  INCOMPATIBILITY: In instances of semiring_0,
  6639 there is more to prove, but this is mostly trivial.
  6640 
  6641 * Class "recpower" is generalized to arbitrary monoids, not just
  6642 commutative semirings.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to incorporate
  6643 commutativity or semiring properties additionally.
  6644 
  6645 * Constant "List.list_all2" in List.thy now uses authentic syntax.
  6646 INCOMPATIBILITY: translations containing list_all2 may go wrong,
  6647 better use 'abbreviation'.
  6648 
  6649 * Renamed constant "List.op mem" to "List.member".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6650 
  6651 * Numeral syntax: type 'bin' which was a mere type copy of 'int' has
  6652 been abandoned in favour of plain 'int'.  INCOMPATIBILITY --
  6653 significant changes for setting up numeral syntax for types:
  6654   - New constants Numeral.pred and Numeral.succ instead
  6655       of former Numeral.bin_pred and Numeral.bin_succ.
  6656   - Use integer operations instead of bin_add, bin_mult and so on.
  6657   - Numeral simplification theorems named Numeral.numeral_simps instead of Bin_simps.
  6658   - ML structure Bin_Simprocs now named Int_Numeral_Base_Simprocs.
  6659 
  6660 See src/HOL/Integ/IntArith.thy for an example setup.
  6661 
  6662 * Command 'normal_form' computes the normal form of a term that may
  6663 contain free variables.  For example ``normal_form "rev [a, b, c]"''
  6664 produces ``[b, c, a]'' (without proof).  This command is suitable for
  6665 heavy-duty computations because the functions are compiled to ML
  6666 first.  Correspondingly, a method "normalization" is provided.  See
  6667 further src/HOL/ex/NormalForm.thy and src/Tools/nbe.ML.
  6668 
  6669 * Alternative iff syntax "A <-> B" for equality on bool (with priority
  6670 25 like -->); output depends on the "iff" print_mode, the default is
  6671 "A = B" (with priority 50).
  6672 
  6673 * Relations less (<) and less_eq (<=) are also available on type bool.
  6674 Modified syntax to disallow nesting without explicit parentheses,
  6675 e.g. "(x < y) < z" or "x < (y < z)", but NOT "x < y < z".  Potential
  6676 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6677 
  6678 * "LEAST x:A. P" expands to "LEAST x. x:A & P" (input only).
  6679 
  6680 * Relation composition operator "op O" now has precedence 75 and binds
  6681 stronger than union and intersection. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6682 
  6683 * The old set interval syntax "{m..n(}" (and relatives) has been
  6684 removed.  Use "{m..<n}" (and relatives) instead.
  6685 
  6686 * In the context of the assumption "~(s = t)" the Simplifier rewrites
  6687 "t = s" to False (by simproc "neq").  INCOMPATIBILITY, consider using
  6688 ``declare [[simproc del: neq]]''.
  6689 
  6690 * Simplifier: "m dvd n" where m and n are numbers is evaluated to
  6691 True/False.
  6692 
  6693 * Theorem Cons_eq_map_conv no longer declared as "simp".
  6694 
  6695 * Theorem setsum_mult renamed to setsum_right_distrib.
  6696 
  6697 * Prefer ex1I over ex_ex1I in single-step reasoning, e.g. by the
  6698 ``rule'' method.
  6699 
  6700 * Reimplemented methods "sat" and "satx", with several improvements:
  6701 goals no longer need to be stated as "<prems> ==> False", equivalences
  6702 (i.e. "=" on type bool) are handled, variable names of the form
  6703 "lit_<n>" are no longer reserved, significant speedup.
  6704 
  6705 * Methods "sat" and "satx" can now replay MiniSat proof traces.
  6706 zChaff is still supported as well.
  6707 
  6708 * 'inductive' and 'datatype': provide projections of mutual rules,
  6709 bundled as foo_bar.inducts;
  6710 
  6711 * Library: moved theories Parity, GCD, Binomial, Infinite_Set to
  6712 Library.
  6713 
  6714 * Library: moved theory Accessible_Part to main HOL.
  6715 
  6716 * Library: added theory Coinductive_List of potentially infinite lists
  6717 as greatest fixed-point.
  6718 
  6719 * Library: added theory AssocList which implements (finite) maps as
  6720 association lists.
  6721 
  6722 * Method "evaluation" solves goals (i.e. a boolean expression)
  6723 efficiently by compiling it to ML.  The goal is "proved" (via an
  6724 oracle) if it evaluates to True.
  6725 
  6726 * Linear arithmetic now splits certain operators (e.g. min, max, abs)
  6727 also when invoked by the simplifier.  This results in the Simplifier
  6728 being more powerful on arithmetic goals.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6729 Configuration option fast_arith_split_limit=0 recovers the old
  6730 behavior.
  6731 
  6732 * Support for hex (0x20) and binary (0b1001) numerals.
  6733 
  6734 * New method: reify eqs (t), where eqs are equations for an
  6735 interpretation I :: 'a list => 'b => 'c and t::'c is an optional
  6736 parameter, computes a term s::'b and a list xs::'a list and proves the
  6737 theorem I xs s = t. This is also known as reification or quoting. The
  6738 resulting theorem is applied to the subgoal to substitute t with I xs
  6739 s.  If t is omitted, the subgoal itself is reified.
  6740 
  6741 * New method: reflection corr_thm eqs (t). The parameters eqs and (t)
  6742 are as explained above. corr_thm is a theorem for I vs (f t) = I vs t,
  6743 where f is supposed to be a computable function (in the sense of code
  6744 generattion). The method uses reify to compute s and xs as above then
  6745 applies corr_thm and uses normalization by evaluation to "prove" f s =
  6746 r and finally gets the theorem t = r, which is again applied to the
  6747 subgoal. An Example is available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy.
  6748 
  6749 * Reflection: Automatic reification now handels binding, an example is
  6750 available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy
  6751 
  6752 * HOL-Statespace: ``State Spaces: The Locale Way'' introduces a
  6753 command 'statespace' that is similar to 'record', but introduces an
  6754 abstract specification based on the locale infrastructure instead of
  6755 HOL types.  This leads to extra flexibility in composing state spaces,
  6756 in particular multiple inheritance and renaming of components.
  6757 
  6758 
  6759 *** HOL-Complex ***
  6760 
  6761 * Hyperreal: Functions root and sqrt are now defined on negative real
  6762 inputs so that root n (- x) = - root n x and sqrt (- x) = - sqrt x.
  6763 Nonnegativity side conditions have been removed from many lemmas, so
  6764 that more subgoals may now be solved by simplification; potential
  6765 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6766 
  6767 * Real: new type classes formalize real normed vector spaces and
  6768 algebras, using new overloaded constants scaleR :: real => 'a => 'a
  6769 and norm :: 'a => real.
  6770 
  6771 * Real: constant of_real :: real => 'a::real_algebra_1 injects from
  6772 reals into other types. The overloaded constant Reals :: 'a set is now
  6773 defined as range of_real; potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6774 
  6775 * Real: proper support for ML code generation, including 'quickcheck'.
  6776 Reals are implemented as arbitrary precision rationals.
  6777 
  6778 * Hyperreal: Several constants that previously worked only for the
  6779 reals have been generalized, so they now work over arbitrary vector
  6780 spaces. Type annotations may need to be added in some cases; potential
  6781 INCOMPATIBILITY.

  6797   exp            :: 'a::{recpower,real_normed_field,banach} => 'a
  6798 
  6799 * Complex: Some complex-specific constants are now abbreviations for
  6800 overloaded ones: complex_of_real = of_real, cmod = norm, hcmod =
  6801 hnorm.  Other constants have been entirely removed in favor of the
  6802 polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  6803

  6812   (ns)deriv     <-- (ns)cderiv
  6813 
  6814 
  6815 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  6816 
  6817 * Formalisation of ideals and the quotient construction over rings.
  6818 
  6819 * Order and lattice theory no longer based on records.
  6820 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6821 
  6822 * Renamed lemmas least_carrier -> least_closed and greatest_carrier ->
  6823 greatest_closed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6824 
  6825 * Method algebra is now set up via an attribute.  For examples see
  6826 Ring.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY: the method is now weaker on combinations
  6827 of algebraic structures.
  6828 
  6829 * Renamed theory CRing to Ring.
  6830 
  6831 
  6832 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  6833 
  6834 * Substantial, yet incomplete support for nominal datatypes (binding
  6835 structures) based on HOL-Nominal logic.  See src/HOL/Nominal and
  6836 src/HOL/Nominal/Examples.  Prospective users should consult
  6837 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/nominal/
  6838 
  6839 
  6840 *** ML ***
  6841 
  6842 * ML basics: just one true type int, which coincides with IntInf.int
  6843 (even on SML/NJ).
  6844 
  6845 * ML within Isar: antiquotations allow to embed statically-checked
  6846 formal entities in the source, referring to the context available at
  6847 compile-time.  For example:
  6848 
  6849 ML {* @{sort "{zero,one}"} *}
  6850 ML {* @{typ "'a => 'b"} *}
  6851 ML {* @{term "%x. x"} *}
  6852 ML {* @{prop "x == y"} *}
  6853 ML {* @{ctyp "'a => 'b"} *}
  6854 ML {* @{cterm "%x. x"} *}
  6855 ML {* @{cprop "x == y"} *}
  6856 ML {* @{thm asm_rl} *}
  6857 ML {* @{thms asm_rl} *}
  6858 ML {* @{type_name c} *}
  6859 ML {* @{type_syntax c} *}
  6860 ML {* @{const_name c} *}
  6861 ML {* @{const_syntax c} *}
  6862 ML {* @{context} *}
  6863 ML {* @{theory} *}
  6864 ML {* @{theory Pure} *}
  6865 ML {* @{theory_ref} *}
  6866 ML {* @{theory_ref Pure} *}
  6867 ML {* @{simpset} *}
  6868 ML {* @{claset} *}
  6869 ML {* @{clasimpset} *}
  6870 
  6871 The same works for sources being ``used'' within an Isar context.
  6872 
  6873 * ML in Isar: improved error reporting; extra verbosity with
  6874 ML_Context.trace enabled.
  6875 
  6876 * Pure/General/table.ML: the join operations now works via exceptions
  6877 DUP/SAME instead of type option. This is simpler in simple cases, and
  6878 admits slightly more efficient complex applications.
  6879 
  6880 * Pure: 'advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) now
  6881 use Context.generic instead of just theory.
  6882 
  6883 * Pure: datatype Context.generic joins theory/Proof.context and
  6884 provides some facilities for code that works in either kind of
  6885 context, notably GenericDataFun for uniform theory and proof data.
  6886 
  6887 * Pure: simplified internal attribute type, which is now always
  6888 Context.generic * thm -> Context.generic * thm. Global (theory) vs.
  6889 local (Proof.context) attributes have been discontinued, while
  6890 minimizing code duplication. Thm.rule_attribute and
  6891 Thm.declaration_attribute build canonical attributes; see also structure
  6892 Context for further operations on Context.generic, notably
  6893 GenericDataFun. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt attribute type
  6894 declarations and definitions.
  6895 
  6896 * Context data interfaces (Theory/Proof/GenericDataFun): removed
  6897 name/print, uninitialized data defaults to ad-hoc copy of empty value,
  6898 init only required for impure data. INCOMPATIBILITY: empty really need
  6899 to be empty (no dependencies on theory content!)
  6900 
  6901 * Pure/kernel: consts certification ignores sort constraints given in
  6902 signature declarations. (This information is not relevant to the
  6903 logic, but only for type inference.) SIGNIFICANT INTERNAL CHANGE,
  6904 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6905 
  6906 * Pure: axiomatic type classes are now purely definitional, with
  6907 explicit proofs of class axioms and super class relations performed
  6908 internally. See Pure/axclass.ML for the main internal interfaces --
  6909 notably AxClass.define_class supercedes AxClass.add_axclass, and
  6910 AxClass.axiomatize_class/classrel/arity supersede
  6911 Sign.add_classes/classrel/arities.
  6912 
  6913 * Pure/Isar: Args/Attrib parsers operate on Context.generic --
  6914 global/local versions on theory vs. Proof.context have been
  6915 discontinued; Attrib.syntax and Method.syntax have been adapted
  6916 accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt parser expressions for
  6917 attributes, methods, etc.
  6918 
  6919 * Pure: several functions of signature "... -> theory -> theory * ..."
  6920 have been reoriented to "... -> theory -> ... * theory" in order to
  6921 allow natural usage in combination with the ||>, ||>>, |-> and
  6922 fold_map combinators.
  6923 
  6924 * Pure: official theorem names (closed derivations) and additional
  6925 comments (tags) are now strictly separate.  Name hints -- which are
  6926 maintained as tags -- may be attached any time without affecting the
  6927 derivation.
  6928 
  6929 * Pure: primitive rule lift_rule now takes goal cterm instead of an
  6930 actual goal state (thm).  Use Thm.lift_rule (Thm.cprem_of st i) to
  6931 achieve the old behaviour.
  6932 
  6933 * Pure: the "Goal" constant is now called "prop", supporting a
  6934 slightly more general idea of ``protecting'' meta-level rule
  6935 statements.
  6936 
  6937 * Pure: Logic.(un)varify only works in a global context, which is now
  6938 enforced instead of silently assumed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use
  6939 Logic.legacy_(un)varify as temporary workaround.
  6940 
  6941 * Pure: structure Name provides scalable operations for generating
  6942 internal variable names, notably Name.variants etc.  This replaces
  6943 some popular functions from term.ML:
  6944 
  6945   Term.variant		->  Name.variant
  6946   Term.variantlist	->  Name.variant_list
  6947   Term.invent_names	->  Name.invent_list
  6948 
  6949 Note that low-level renaming rarely occurs in new code -- operations
  6950 from structure Variable are used instead (see below).
  6951 
  6952 * Pure: structure Variable provides fundamental operations for proper
  6953 treatment of fixed/schematic variables in a context.  For example,
  6954 Variable.import introduces fixes for schematics of given facts and
  6955 Variable.export reverses the effect (up to renaming) -- this replaces
  6956 various freeze_thaw operations.
  6957 
  6958 * Pure: structure Goal provides simple interfaces for
  6959 init/conclude/finish and tactical prove operations (replacing former
  6960 Tactic.prove).  Goal.prove is the canonical way to prove results
  6961 within a given context; Goal.prove_global is a degraded version for
  6962 theory level goals, including a global Drule.standard.  Note that
  6963 OldGoals.prove_goalw_cterm has long been obsolete, since it is
  6964 ill-behaved in a local proof context (e.g. with local fixes/assumes or
  6965 in a locale context).
  6966 
  6967 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for parsing (Syntax.parse_term etc.)
  6968 and type checking (Syntax.check_term etc.), with common combinations
  6969 (Syntax.read_term etc.). These supersede former Sign.read_term etc.
  6970 which are considered legacy and await removal.
  6971 
  6972 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for type unchecking
  6973 (Syntax.uncheck_terms etc.) and unparsing (Syntax.unparse_term etc.),
  6974 with common combinations (Syntax.pretty_term, Syntax.string_of_term
  6975 etc.).  Former Sign.pretty_term, Sign.string_of_term etc. are still
  6976 available for convenience, but refer to the very same operations using
  6977 a mere theory instead of a full context.
  6978 
  6979 * Isar: simplified treatment of user-level errors, using exception
  6980 ERROR of string uniformly.  Function error now merely raises ERROR,
  6981 without any side effect on output channels.  The Isar toplevel takes
  6982 care of proper display of ERROR exceptions.  ML code may use plain
  6983 handle/can/try; cat_error may be used to concatenate errors like this:
  6984 
  6985   ... handle ERROR msg => cat_error msg "..."
  6986 
  6987 Toplevel ML code (run directly or through the Isar toplevel) may be
  6988 embedded into the Isar toplevel with exception display/debug like
  6989 this:
  6990 
  6991   Isar.toplevel (fn () => ...)
  6992 
  6993 INCOMPATIBILITY, removed special transform_error facilities, removed
  6994 obsolete variants of user-level exceptions (ERROR_MESSAGE,
  6995 Context.PROOF, ProofContext.CONTEXT, Proof.STATE, ProofHistory.FAIL)
  6996 -- use plain ERROR instead.
  6997 
  6998 * Isar: theory setup now has type (theory -> theory), instead of a
  6999 list.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use #> to compose setup functions.
  7000 
  7001 * Isar: ML toplevel pretty printer for type Proof.context, subject to
  7002 ProofContext.debug/verbose flags.
  7003 
  7004 * Isar: Toplevel.theory_to_proof admits transactions that modify the
  7005 theory before entering a proof state.  Transactions now always see a
  7006 quasi-functional intermediate checkpoint, both in interactive and
  7007 batch mode.
  7008 
  7009 * Isar: simplified interfaces for outer syntax.  Renamed
  7010 OuterSyntax.add_keywords to OuterSyntax.keywords.  Removed
  7011 OuterSyntax.add_parsers -- this functionality is now included in
  7012 OuterSyntax.command etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7013 
  7014 * Simplifier: the simpset of a running simplification process now
  7015 contains a proof context (cf. Simplifier.the_context), which is the
  7016 very context that the initial simpset has been retrieved from (by
  7017 simpset_of/local_simpset_of).  Consequently, all plug-in components
  7018 (solver, looper etc.) may depend on arbitrary proof data.
  7019 
  7020 * Simplifier.inherit_context inherits the proof context (plus the
  7021 local bounds) of the current simplification process; any simproc
  7022 etc. that calls the Simplifier recursively should do this!  Removed
  7023 former Simplifier.inherit_bounds, which is already included here --
  7024 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Tools based on low-level rewriting may even have to
  7025 specify an explicit context using Simplifier.context/theory_context.
  7026 
  7027 * Simplifier/Classical Reasoner: more abstract interfaces
  7028 change_simpset/claset for modifying the simpset/claset reference of a
  7029 theory; raw versions simpset/claset_ref etc. have been discontinued --
  7030 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7031 
  7032 * Provers: more generic wrt. syntax of object-logics, avoid hardwired
  7033 "Trueprop" etc.
  7034 
  7035 
  7036 *** System ***
  7037 
  7038 * settings: the default heap location within ISABELLE_HOME_USER now
  7039 includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER.  This simplifies use of multiple
  7040 Isabelle installations.
  7041 
  7042 * isabelle-process: option -S (secure mode) disables some critical
  7043 operations, notably runtime compilation and evaluation of ML source
  7044 code.
  7045 
  7046 * Basic Isabelle mode for jEdit, see Isabelle/lib/jedit/.
  7047 
  7048 * Support for parallel execution, using native multicore support of
  7049 Poly/ML 5.1.  The theory loader exploits parallelism when processing
  7050 independent theories, according to the given theory header
  7051 specifications. The maximum number of worker threads is specified via
  7052 usedir option -M or the "max-threads" setting in Proof General. A
  7053 speedup factor of 1.5--3.5 can be expected on a 4-core machine, and up
  7054 to 6 on a 8-core machine.  User-code needs to observe certain
  7055 guidelines for thread-safe programming, see appendix A in the Isar
  7056 Implementation manual.

  7061 ----------------------------------
  7062 
  7063 *** General ***
  7064 
  7065 * Theory headers: the new header syntax for Isar theories is
  7066 
  7067   theory <name>
  7068   imports <theory1> ... <theoryN>
  7069   uses <file1> ... <fileM>
  7070   begin
  7071 
  7072 where the 'uses' part is optional.  The previous syntax
  7073 
  7074   theory <name> = <theory1> + ... + <theoryN>:
  7075 
  7076 will disappear in the next release.  Use isatool fixheaders to convert
  7077 existing theory files.  Note that there is no change in ancient
  7078 non-Isar theories now, but these will disappear soon.
  7079 
  7080 * Theory loader: parent theories can now also be referred to via
  7081 relative and absolute paths.
  7082 
  7083 * Command 'find_theorems' searches for a list of criteria instead of a
  7084 list of constants. Known criteria are: intro, elim, dest, name:string,
  7085 simp:term, and any term. Criteria can be preceded by '-' to select
  7086 theorems that do not match. Intro, elim, dest select theorems that
  7087 match the current goal, name:s selects theorems whose fully qualified
  7088 name contain s, and simp:term selects all simplification rules whose
  7089 lhs match term.  Any other term is interpreted as pattern and selects
  7090 all theorems matching the pattern. Available in ProofGeneral under
  7091 'ProofGeneral -> Find Theorems' or C-c C-f.  Example:
  7092 
  7093   C-c C-f (100) "(_::nat) + _ + _" intro -name: "HOL."
  7094 
  7095 prints the last 100 theorems matching the pattern "(_::nat) + _ + _",
  7096 matching the current goal as introduction rule and not having "HOL."
  7097 in their name (i.e. not being defined in theory HOL).
  7098 
  7099 * Command 'thms_containing' has been discontinued in favour of
  7100 'find_theorems'; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7101 
  7102 * Communication with Proof General is now 8bit clean, which means that
  7103 Unicode text in UTF-8 encoding may be used within theory texts (both
  7104 formal and informal parts).  Cf. option -U of the Isabelle Proof
  7105 General interface.  Here are some simple examples (cf. src/HOL/ex):
  7106 
  7107   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Hebrew.html
  7108   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Chinese.html
  7109 
  7110 * Improved efficiency of the Simplifier and, to a lesser degree, the
  7111 Classical Reasoner.  Typical big applications run around 2 times
  7112 faster.
  7113 
  7114 
  7115 *** Document preparation ***
  7116 
  7117 * Commands 'display_drafts' and 'print_drafts' perform simple output
  7118 of raw sources.  Only those symbols that do not require additional
  7119 LaTeX packages (depending on comments in isabellesym.sty) are
  7120 displayed properly, everything else is left verbatim.  isatool display
  7121 and isatool print are used as front ends (these are subject to the
  7122 DVI/PDF_VIEWER and PRINT_COMMAND settings, respectively).
  7123 
  7124 * Command tags control specific markup of certain regions of text,
  7125 notably folding and hiding.  Predefined tags include "theory" (for
  7126 theory begin and end), "proof" for proof commands, and "ML" for
  7127 commands involving ML code; the additional tags "visible" and
  7128 "invisible" are unused by default.  Users may give explicit tag
  7129 specifications in the text, e.g. ''by %invisible (auto)''.  The
  7130 interpretation of tags is determined by the LaTeX job during document
  7131 preparation: see option -V of isatool usedir, or options -n and -t of
  7132 isatool document, or even the LaTeX macros \isakeeptag, \isafoldtag,
  7133 \isadroptag.
  7134 
  7135 Several document versions may be produced at the same time via isatool
  7136 usedir (the generated index.html will link all of them).  Typical
  7137 specifications include ''-V document=theory,proof,ML'' to present
  7138 theory/proof/ML parts faithfully, ''-V outline=/proof,/ML'' to fold
  7139 proof and ML commands, and ''-V mutilated=-theory,-proof,-ML'' to omit
  7140 these parts without any formal replacement text.  The Isabelle site
  7141 default settings produce ''document'' and ''outline'' versions as
  7142 specified above.
  7143 
  7144 * Several new antiquotations:
  7145 
  7146   @{term_type term} prints a term with its type annotated;
  7147 
  7148   @{typeof term} prints the type of a term;
  7149 
  7150   @{const const} is the same as @{term const}, but checks that the
  7151   argument is a known logical constant;
  7152 
  7153   @{term_style style term} and @{thm_style style thm} print a term or
  7154   theorem applying a "style" to it
  7155 
  7156   @{ML text}
  7157 
  7158 Predefined styles are 'lhs' and 'rhs' printing the lhs/rhs of
  7159 definitions, equations, inequations etc., 'concl' printing only the
  7160 conclusion of a meta-logical statement theorem, and 'prem1' .. 'prem19'
  7161 to print the specified premise.  TermStyle.add_style provides an ML
  7162 interface for introducing further styles.  See also the "LaTeX Sugar"
  7163 document practical applications.  The ML antiquotation prints
  7164 type-checked ML expressions verbatim.
  7165 
  7166 * Markup commands 'chapter', 'section', 'subsection', 'subsubsection',
  7167 and 'text' support optional locale specification '(in loc)', which
  7168 specifies the default context for interpreting antiquotations.  For
  7169 example: 'text (in lattice) {* @{thm inf_assoc}*}'.
  7170 
  7171 * Option 'locale=NAME' of antiquotations specifies an alternative
  7172 context interpreting the subsequent argument.  For example: @{thm
  7173 [locale=lattice] inf_assoc}.
  7174 
  7175 * Proper output of proof terms (@{prf ...} and @{full_prf ...}) within
  7176 a proof context.
  7177 
  7178 * Proper output of antiquotations for theory commands involving a
  7179 proof context (such as 'locale' or 'theorem (in loc) ...').
  7180 
  7181 * Delimiters of outer tokens (string etc.) now produce separate LaTeX
  7182 macros (\isachardoublequoteopen, isachardoublequoteclose etc.).
  7183 
  7184 * isatool usedir: new option -C (default true) controls whether option
  7185 -D should include a copy of the original document directory; -C false
  7186 prevents unwanted effects such as copying of administrative CVS data.
  7187 
  7188 
  7189 *** Pure ***
  7190 
  7191 * Considerably improved version of 'constdefs' command.  Now performs
  7192 automatic type-inference of declared constants; additional support for
  7193 local structure declarations (cf. locales and HOL records), see also
  7194 isar-ref manual.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to observe strictly
  7195 sequential dependencies of definitions within a single 'constdefs'
  7196 section; moreover, the declared name needs to be an identifier.  If
  7197 all fails, consider to fall back on 'consts' and 'defs' separately.
  7198 
  7199 * Improved indexed syntax and implicit structures.  First of all,
  7200 indexed syntax provides a notational device for subscripted
  7201 application, using the new syntax \<^bsub>term\<^esub> for arbitrary
  7202 expressions.  Secondly, in a local context with structure
  7203 declarations, number indexes \<^sub>n or the empty index (default
  7204 number 1) refer to a certain fixed variable implicitly; option
  7205 show_structs controls printing of implicit structures.  Typical
  7206 applications of these concepts involve record types and locales.
  7207 
  7208 * New command 'no_syntax' removes grammar declarations (and
  7209 translations) resulting from the given syntax specification, which is
  7210 interpreted in the same manner as for the 'syntax' command.
  7211 
  7212 * 'Advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) may depend
  7213 on the signature of the theory context being presently used for
  7214 parsing/printing, see also isar-ref manual.
  7215 
  7216 * Improved 'oracle' command provides a type-safe interface to turn an
  7217 ML expression of type theory -> T -> term into a primitive rule of
  7218 type theory -> T -> thm (i.e. the functionality of Thm.invoke_oracle
  7219 is already included here); see also FOL/ex/IffExample.thy;
  7220 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7221 
  7222 * axclass: name space prefix for class "c" is now "c_class" (was "c"
  7223 before); "cI" is no longer bound, use "c.intro" instead.
  7224 INCOMPATIBILITY.  This change avoids clashes of fact bindings for
  7225 axclasses vs. locales.
  7226 
  7227 * Improved internal renaming of symbolic identifiers -- attach primes
  7228 instead of base 26 numbers.
  7229 
  7230 * New flag show_question_marks controls printing of leading question
  7231 marks in schematic variable names.
  7232 
  7233 * In schematic variable names, *any* symbol following \<^isub> or
  7234 \<^isup> is now treated as part of the base name.  For example, the
  7235 following works without printing of awkward ".0" indexes:
  7236 
  7237   lemma "x\<^isub>1 = x\<^isub>2 ==> x\<^isub>2 = x\<^isub>1"
  7238     by simp
  7239 
  7240 * Inner syntax includes (*(*nested*) comments*).
  7241 
  7242 * Pretty printer now supports unbreakable blocks, specified in mixfix
  7243 annotations as "(00...)".
  7244 
  7245 * Clear separation of logical types and nonterminals, where the latter
  7246 may only occur in 'syntax' specifications or type abbreviations.
  7247 Before that distinction was only partially implemented via type class
  7248 "logic" vs. "{}".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare cases of improper
  7249 use of 'types'/'consts' instead of 'nonterminals'/'syntax'.  Some very
  7250 exotic syntax specifications may require further adaption
  7251 (e.g. Cube/Cube.thy).
  7252 
  7253 * Removed obsolete type class "logic", use the top sort {} instead.
  7254 Note that non-logical types should be declared as 'nonterminals'
  7255 rather than 'types'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for new object-logic
  7256 specifications.
  7257 
  7258 * Attributes 'induct' and 'cases': type or set names may now be
  7259 locally fixed variables as well.
  7260 
  7261 * Simplifier: can now control the depth to which conditional rewriting
  7262 is traced via the PG menu Isabelle -> Settings -> Trace Simp Depth
  7263 Limit.
  7264 
  7265 * Simplifier: simplification procedures may now take the current
  7266 simpset into account (cf. Simplifier.simproc(_i) / mk_simproc
  7267 interface), which is very useful for calling the Simplifier
  7268 recursively.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: the 'prems' argument of simprocs
  7269 is gone -- use prems_of_ss on the simpset instead.  Moreover, the
  7270 low-level mk_simproc no longer applies Logic.varify internally, to
  7271 allow for use in a context of fixed variables.
  7272 
  7273 * thin_tac now works even if the assumption being deleted contains !!
  7274 or ==>.  More generally, erule now works even if the major premise of
  7275 the elimination rule contains !! or ==>.
  7276 
  7277 * Method 'rules' has been renamed to 'iprover'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7278 
  7279 * Reorganized bootstrapping of the Pure theories; CPure is now derived
  7280 from Pure, which contains all common declarations already.  Both
  7281 theories are defined via plain Isabelle/Isar .thy files.
  7282 INCOMPATIBILITY: elements of CPure (such as the CPure.intro /
  7283 CPure.elim / CPure.dest attributes) now appear in the Pure name space;
  7284 use isatool fixcpure to adapt your theory and ML sources.
  7285 
  7286 * New syntax 'name(i-j, i-, i, ...)' for referring to specific
  7287 selections of theorems in named facts via index ranges.
  7288 
  7289 * 'print_theorems': in theory mode, really print the difference
  7290 wrt. the last state (works for interactive theory development only),
  7291 in proof mode print all local facts (cf. 'print_facts');
  7292 
  7293 * 'hide': option '(open)' hides only base names.
  7294 
  7295 * More efficient treatment of intermediate checkpoints in interactive
  7296 theory development.
  7297 
  7298 * Code generator is now invoked via code_module (incremental code
  7299 generation) and code_library (modular code generation, ML structures
  7300 for each theory).  INCOMPATIBILITY: new keywords 'file' and 'contains'
  7301 must be quoted when used as identifiers.
  7302 
  7303 * New 'value' command for reading, evaluating and printing terms using
  7304 the code generator.  INCOMPATIBILITY: command keyword 'value' must be
  7305 quoted when used as identifier.
  7306 
  7307 
  7308 *** Locales ***
  7309 
  7310 * New commands for the interpretation of locale expressions in
  7311 theories (1), locales (2) and proof contexts (3).  These generate
  7312 proof obligations from the expression specification.  After the
  7313 obligations have been discharged, theorems of the expression are added
  7314 to the theory, target locale or proof context.  The synopsis of the
  7315 commands is a follows:
  7316 
  7317   (1) interpretation expr inst
  7318   (2) interpretation target < expr
  7319   (3) interpret expr inst
  7320 
  7321 Interpretation in theories and proof contexts require a parameter
  7322 instantiation of terms from the current context.  This is applied to
  7323 specifications and theorems of the interpreted expression.
  7324 Interpretation in locales only permits parameter renaming through the
  7325 locale expression.  Interpretation is smart in that interpretations
  7326 that are active already do not occur in proof obligations, neither are
  7327 instantiated theorems stored in duplicate.  Use 'print_interps' to
  7328 inspect active interpretations of a particular locale.  For details,
  7329 see the Isar Reference manual.  Examples can be found in
  7330 HOL/Finite_Set.thy and HOL/Algebra/UnivPoly.thy.
  7331 
  7332 INCOMPATIBILITY: former 'instantiate' has been withdrawn, use
  7333 'interpret' instead.
  7334 
  7335 * New context element 'constrains' for adding type constraints to
  7336 parameters.
  7337 
  7338 * Context expressions: renaming of parameters with syntax
  7339 redeclaration.
  7340 
  7341 * Locale declaration: 'includes' disallowed.
  7342 
  7343 * Proper static binding of attribute syntax -- i.e. types / terms /
  7344 facts mentioned as arguments are always those of the locale definition
  7345 context, independently of the context of later invocations.  Moreover,
  7346 locale operations (renaming and type / term instantiation) are applied
  7347 to attribute arguments as expected.
  7348 
  7349 INCOMPATIBILITY of the ML interface: always pass Attrib.src instead of
  7350 actual attributes; rare situations may require Attrib.attribute to
  7351 embed those attributes into Attrib.src that lack concrete syntax.
  7352 Attribute implementations need to cooperate properly with the static
  7353 binding mechanism.  Basic parsers Args.XXX_typ/term/prop and
  7354 Attrib.XXX_thm etc. already do the right thing without further
  7355 intervention.  Only unusual applications -- such as "where" or "of"
  7356 (cf. src/Pure/Isar/attrib.ML), which process arguments depending both
  7357 on the context and the facts involved -- may have to assign parsed
  7358 values to argument tokens explicitly.
  7359 
  7360 * Changed parameter management in theorem generation for long goal
  7361 statements with 'includes'.  INCOMPATIBILITY: produces a different
  7362 theorem statement in rare situations.
  7363 
  7364 * Locale inspection command 'print_locale' omits notes elements.  Use
  7365 'print_locale!' to have them included in the output.
  7366 
  7367 
  7368 *** Provers ***
  7369 
  7370 * Provers/hypsubst.ML: improved version of the subst method, for
  7371 single-step rewriting: it now works in bound variable contexts. New is
  7372 'subst (asm)', for rewriting an assumption.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may
  7373 rewrite a different subterm than the original subst method, which is
  7374 still available as 'simplesubst'.
  7375 
  7376 * Provers/quasi.ML: new transitivity reasoners for transitivity only
  7377 and quasi orders.
  7378 
  7379 * Provers/trancl.ML: new transitivity reasoner for transitive and
  7380 reflexive-transitive closure of relations.
  7381 
  7382 * Provers/blast.ML: new reference depth_limit to make blast's depth
  7383 limit (previously hard-coded with a value of 20) user-definable.
  7384 
  7385 * Provers/simplifier.ML has been moved to Pure, where Simplifier.setup
  7386 is peformed already.  Object-logics merely need to finish their
  7387 initial simpset configuration as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7388 
  7389 
  7390 *** HOL ***
  7391 
  7392 * Symbolic syntax of Hilbert Choice Operator is now as follows:
  7393 
  7394   syntax (epsilon)
  7395     "_Eps" :: "[pttrn, bool] => 'a"    ("(3\<some>_./ _)" [0, 10] 10)
  7396 
  7397 The symbol \<some> is displayed as the alternative epsilon of LaTeX
  7398 and x-symbol; use option '-m epsilon' to get it actually printed.
  7399 Moreover, the mathematically important symbolic identifier \<epsilon>
  7400 becomes available as variable, constant etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  7401 
  7402 * "x > y" abbreviates "y < x" and "x >= y" abbreviates "y <= x".
  7403 Similarly for all quantifiers: "ALL x > y" etc.  The x-symbol for >=
  7404 is \<ge>. New transitivity rules have been added to HOL/Orderings.thy to
  7405 support corresponding Isar calculations.
  7406 
  7407 * "{x:A. P}" abbreviates "{x. x:A & P}", and similarly for "\<in>"
  7408 instead of ":".
  7409 
  7410 * theory SetInterval: changed the syntax for open intervals:
  7411 
  7412   Old       New
  7413   {..n(}    {..<n}
  7414   {)n..}    {n<..}
  7415   {m..n(}   {m..<n}
  7416   {)m..n}   {m<..n}
  7417   {)m..n(}  {m<..<n}
  7418 
  7419 The old syntax is still supported but will disappear in the next
  7420 release.  For conversion use the following Emacs search and replace
  7421 patterns (these are not perfect but work quite well):
  7422 
  7423   {)\([^\.]*\)\.\.  ->  {\1<\.\.}
  7424   \.\.\([^(}]*\)(}  ->  \.\.<\1}
  7425 
  7426 * Theory Commutative_Ring (in Library): method comm_ring for proving
  7427 equalities in commutative rings; method 'algebra' provides a generic
  7428 interface.
  7429 
  7430 * Theory Finite_Set: changed the syntax for 'setsum', summation over
  7431 finite sets: "setsum (%x. e) A", which used to be "\<Sum>x:A. e", is
  7432 now either "SUM x:A. e" or "\<Sum>x \<in> A. e". The bound variable can
  7433 be a tuple pattern.
  7434 
  7435 Some new syntax forms are available:
  7436 
  7437   "\<Sum>x | P. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {x. P}"
  7438   "\<Sum>x = a..b. e"   for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..b}"
  7439   "\<Sum>x = a..<b. e"  for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..<b}"
  7440   "\<Sum>x < k. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {..<k}"
  7441 
  7442 The latter form "\<Sum>x < k. e" used to be based on a separate
  7443 function "Summation", which has been discontinued.
  7444 
  7445 * theory Finite_Set: in structured induction proofs, the insert case
  7446 is now 'case (insert x F)' instead of the old counterintuitive 'case
  7447 (insert F x)'.
  7448 
  7449 * The 'refute' command has been extended to support a much larger
  7450 fragment of HOL, including axiomatic type classes, constdefs and
  7451 typedefs, inductive datatypes and recursion.
  7452 
  7453 * New tactics 'sat' and 'satx' to prove propositional tautologies.
  7454 Requires zChaff with proof generation to be installed.  See
  7455 HOL/ex/SAT_Examples.thy for examples.
  7456 
  7457 * Datatype induction via method 'induct' now preserves the name of the
  7458 induction variable. For example, when proving P(xs::'a list) by
  7459 induction on xs, the induction step is now P(xs) ==> P(a#xs) rather
  7460 than P(list) ==> P(a#list) as previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  7461 in unstructured proof scripts.
  7462 
  7463 * Reworked implementation of records.  Improved scalability for
  7464 records with many fields, avoiding performance problems for type
  7465 inference. Records are no longer composed of nested field types, but
  7466 of nested extension types. Therefore the record type only grows linear
  7467 in the number of extensions and not in the number of fields.  The
  7468 top-level (users) view on records is preserved.  Potential
  7469 INCOMPATIBILITY only in strange cases, where the theory depends on the
  7470 old record representation. The type generated for a record is called
  7471 <record_name>_ext_type.
  7472 
  7473 Flag record_quick_and_dirty_sensitive can be enabled to skip the
  7474 proofs triggered by a record definition or a simproc (if
  7475 quick_and_dirty is enabled).  Definitions of large records can take
  7476 quite long.
  7477 
  7478 New simproc record_upd_simproc for simplification of multiple record
  7479 updates enabled by default.  Moreover, trivial updates are also
  7480 removed: r(|x := x r|) = r.  INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break
  7481 occasionally, since simplification is more powerful by default.
  7482 
  7483 * typedef: proper support for polymorphic sets, which contain extra
  7484 type-variables in the term.
  7485 
  7486 * Simplifier: automatically reasons about transitivity chains
  7487 involving "trancl" (r^+) and "rtrancl" (r^*) by setting up tactics
  7488 provided by Provers/trancl.ML as additional solvers.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  7489 old proofs break occasionally as simplification may now solve more
  7490 goals than previously.
  7491 
  7492 * Simplifier: converts x <= y into x = y if assumption y <= x is
  7493 present.  Works for all partial orders (class "order"), in particular
  7494 numbers and sets.  For linear orders (e.g. numbers) it treats ~ x < y
  7495 just like y <= x.
  7496 
  7497 * Simplifier: new simproc for "let x = a in f x".  If a is a free or
  7498 bound variable or a constant then the let is unfolded.  Otherwise
  7499 first a is simplified to b, and then f b is simplified to g. If
  7500 possible we abstract b from g arriving at "let x = b in h x",
  7501 otherwise we unfold the let and arrive at g.  The simproc can be
  7502 enabled/disabled by the reference use_let_simproc.  Potential
  7503 INCOMPATIBILITY since simplification is more powerful by default.
  7504 
  7505 * Classical reasoning: the meson method now accepts theorems as arguments.
  7506 
  7507 * Prover support: pre-release of the Isabelle-ATP linkup, which runs background
  7508 jobs to provide advice on the provability of subgoals.
  7509 
  7510 * Theory OrderedGroup and Ring_and_Field: various additions and
  7511 improvements to faciliate calculations involving equalities and
  7512 inequalities.
  7513 
  7514 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7515 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7516 
  7517   abs_eq             now named abs_of_nonneg
  7518   abs_of_ge_0        now named abs_of_nonneg
  7519   abs_minus_eq       now named abs_of_nonpos
  7520   imp_abs_id         now named abs_of_nonneg
  7521   imp_abs_neg_id     now named abs_of_nonpos
  7522   mult_pos           now named mult_pos_pos
  7523   mult_pos_le        now named mult_nonneg_nonneg
  7524   mult_pos_neg_le    now named mult_nonneg_nonpos
  7525   mult_pos_neg2_le   now named mult_nonneg_nonpos2
  7526   mult_neg           now named mult_neg_neg
  7527   mult_neg_le        now named mult_nonpos_nonpos
  7528 
  7529 * The following lemmas in Ring_and_Field have been added to the simplifier:
  7530      
  7531      zero_le_square
  7532      not_square_less_zero 
  7533 
  7534   The following lemmas have been deleted from Real/RealPow:
  7535   
  7536      realpow_zero_zero
  7537      realpow_two
  7538      realpow_less
  7539      zero_le_power
  7540      realpow_two_le
  7541      abs_realpow_two
  7542      realpow_two_abs     
  7543 
  7544 * Theory Parity: added rules for simplifying exponents.
  7545 
  7546 * Theory List:
  7547 
  7548 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7549 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7550 
  7551   list_all_Nil       now named list_all.simps(1)
  7552   list_all_Cons      now named list_all.simps(2)
  7553   list_all_conv      now named list_all_iff
  7554   set_mem_eq         now named mem_iff
  7555 
  7556 * Theories SetsAndFunctions and BigO (see HOL/Library) support
  7557 asymptotic "big O" calculations.  See the notes in BigO.thy.
  7558 
  7559 
  7560 *** HOL-Complex ***
  7561 
  7562 * Theory RealDef: better support for embedding natural numbers and
  7563 integers in the reals.
  7564 
  7565 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7566 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7567 
  7568   exp_ge_add_one_self  now requires no hypotheses
  7569   real_of_int_add      reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7570   real_of_int_minus    reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7571   real_of_int_diff     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7572   real_of_int_mult     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7573 
  7574 * Theory RComplete: expanded support for floor and ceiling functions.
  7575 
  7576 * Theory Ln is new, with properties of the natural logarithm
  7577 
  7578 * Hyperreal: There is a new type constructor "star" for making
  7579 nonstandard types.  The old type names are now type synonyms:
  7580 
  7581   hypreal = real star
  7582   hypnat = nat star
  7583   hcomplex = complex star
  7584 
  7585 * Hyperreal: Many groups of similarly-defined constants have been
  7586 replaced by polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7587 
  7588   star_of <-- hypreal_of_real, hypnat_of_nat, hcomplex_of_complex
  7589 
  7590   starset      <-- starsetNat, starsetC

  7600   InternalFuns <-- InternalNatFuns, InternalNatFuns2, Internal{C,RC,CR}Funs
  7601 
  7602 * Hyperreal: Many type-specific theorems have been removed in favor of
  7603 theorems specific to various axiomatic type classes (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7604 
  7605   add_commute <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_commute
  7606   add_assoc   <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_assocs

  7612   mult_assoc <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_mult_assoc
  7613   mult_1_left <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_mult_1, hcomplex_mult_one_left
  7614   mult_1_right <-- hcomplex_mult_one_right

  7625   linorder_linear <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_le_linear
  7626   add_left_mono <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_add_left_mono
  7627   mult_strict_left_mono <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_mult_less_mono2
  7628   add_nonneg_nonneg <-- hypreal_le_add_order
  7629 
  7630 * Hyperreal: Separate theorems having to do with type-specific
  7631 versions of constants have been merged into theorems that apply to the
  7632 new polymorphic constants (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7633 
  7634   STAR_UNIV_set <-- {STAR_real,NatStar_real,STARC_complex}_set
  7635   STAR_empty_set <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_empty_set
  7636   STAR_Un <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_Un
  7637   STAR_Int <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_Int

  7722 
  7723 * Hyperreal: new method "transfer" that implements the transfer
  7724 principle of nonstandard analysis. With a subgoal that mentions
  7725 nonstandard types like "'a star", the command "apply transfer"
  7726 replaces it with an equivalent one that mentions only standard types.
  7727 To be successful, all free variables must have standard types; non-
  7728 standard variables must have explicit universal quantifiers.
  7729 
  7730 * Hyperreal: A theory of Taylor series.
  7731 
  7732 
  7733 *** HOLCF ***
  7734 
  7735 * Discontinued special version of 'constdefs' (which used to support
  7736 continuous functions) in favor of the general Pure one with full
  7737 type-inference.
  7738 
  7739 * New simplification procedure for solving continuity conditions; it
  7740 is much faster on terms with many nested lambda abstractions (cubic
  7741 instead of exponential time).
  7742 
  7743 * New syntax for domain package: selector names are now optional.
  7744 Parentheses should be omitted unless argument is lazy, for example:
  7745 
  7746   domain 'a stream = cons "'a" (lazy "'a stream")
  7747 
  7748 * New command 'fixrec' for defining recursive functions with pattern
  7749 matching; defining multiple functions with mutual recursion is also
  7750 supported.  Patterns may include the constants cpair, spair, up, sinl,
  7751 sinr, or any data constructor defined by the domain package. The given
  7752 equations are proven as rewrite rules. See HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  7753 syntax and examples.
  7754 
  7755 * New commands 'cpodef' and 'pcpodef' for defining predicate subtypes
  7756 of cpo and pcpo types. Syntax is exactly like the 'typedef' command,
  7757 but the proof obligation additionally includes an admissibility
  7758 requirement. The packages generate instances of class cpo or pcpo,
  7759 with continuity and strictness theorems for Rep and Abs.
  7760 
  7761 * HOLCF: Many theorems have been renamed according to a more standard naming
  7762 scheme (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7763 
  7764   foo_inject:  "foo$x = foo$y ==> x = y"
  7765   foo_eq:      "(foo$x = foo$y) = (x = y)"
  7766   foo_less:    "(foo$x << foo$y) = (x << y)"
  7767   foo_strict:  "foo$UU = UU"
  7768   foo_defined: "... ==> foo$x ~= UU"
  7769   foo_defined_iff: "(foo$x = UU) = (x = UU)"
  7770 
  7771 
  7772 *** ZF ***
  7773 
  7774 * ZF/ex: theories Group and Ring provide examples in abstract algebra,
  7775 including the First Isomorphism Theorem (on quotienting by the kernel
  7776 of a homomorphism).
  7777 
  7778 * ZF/Simplifier: install second copy of type solver that actually
  7779 makes use of TC rules declared to Isar proof contexts (or locales);
  7780 the old version is still required for ML proof scripts.
  7781 
  7782 
  7783 *** Cube ***
  7784 
  7785 * Converted to Isar theory format; use locales instead of axiomatic
  7786 theories.
  7787 
  7788 
  7789 *** ML ***
  7790 
  7791 * Pure/library.ML: added ##>, ##>>, #>> -- higher-order counterparts
  7792 for ||>, ||>>, |>>,
  7793 
  7794 * Pure/library.ML no longer defines its own option datatype, but uses
  7795 that of the SML basis, which has constructors NONE and SOME instead of
  7796 None and Some, as well as exception Option.Option instead of OPTION.
  7797 The functions the, if_none, is_some, is_none have been adapted
  7798 accordingly, while Option.map replaces apsome.
  7799 
  7800 * Pure/library.ML: the exception LIST has been given up in favour of
  7801 the standard exceptions Empty and Subscript, as well as
  7802 Library.UnequalLengths.  Function like Library.hd and Library.tl are
  7803 superceded by the standard hd and tl functions etc.
  7804 
  7805 A number of basic list functions are no longer exported to the ML
  7806 toplevel, as they are variants of predefined functions.  The following
  7807 suggests how one can translate existing code:
  7808 
  7809     rev_append xs ys = List.revAppend (xs, ys)
  7810     nth_elem (i, xs) = List.nth (xs, i)
  7811     last_elem xs = List.last xs
  7812     flat xss = List.concat xss
  7813     seq fs = List.app fs
  7814     partition P xs = List.partition P xs
  7815     mapfilter f xs = List.mapPartial f xs
  7816 
  7817 * Pure/library.ML: several combinators for linear functional
  7818 transformations, notably reverse application and composition:
  7819 
  7820   x |> f                f #> g
  7821   (x, y) |-> f          f #-> g
  7822 
  7823 * Pure/library.ML: introduced/changed precedence of infix operators:
  7824 
  7825   infix 1 |> |-> ||> ||>> |>> |>>> #> #->;
  7826   infix 2 ?;
  7827   infix 3 o oo ooo oooo;
  7828   infix 4 ~~ upto downto;
  7829 
  7830 Maybe INCOMPATIBILITY when any of those is used in conjunction with other
  7831 infix operators.
  7832 
  7833 * Pure/library.ML: natural list combinators fold, fold_rev, and
  7834 fold_map support linear functional transformations and nesting.  For
  7835 example:
  7836 
  7837   fold f [x1, ..., xN] y =
  7838     y |> f x1 |> ... |> f xN
  7839 
  7840   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] y =
  7841     y |> fold f xs1 |> ... |> fold f xsN
  7842 
  7843   fold f [x1, ..., xN] =
  7844     f x1 #> ... #> f xN
  7845 
  7846   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] =
  7847     fold f xs1 #> ... #> fold f xsN
  7848 
  7849 * Pure/library.ML: the following selectors on type 'a option are
  7850 available:
  7851 
  7852   the:               'a option -> 'a  (*partial*)
  7853   these:             'a option -> 'a  where 'a = 'b list
  7854   the_default: 'a -> 'a option -> 'a
  7855   the_list:          'a option -> 'a list
  7856 
  7857 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  7858 basic operations for association lists, following natural argument
  7859 order; moreover the explicit equality predicate passed here avoids
  7860 potentially expensive polymorphic runtime equality checks.
  7861 The old functions may be expressed as follows:
  7862 
  7863   assoc = uncurry (AList.lookup (op =))
  7864   assocs = these oo AList.lookup (op =)
  7865   overwrite = uncurry (AList.update (op =)) o swap
  7866 
  7867 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  7868 
  7869   val make: ('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> ('a * 'b) list
  7870   val find: ('a * 'b -> bool) -> ('c * 'b) list -> 'a -> 'c list
  7871 
  7872 replacing make_keylist and keyfilter (occassionally used)
  7873 Naive rewrites:
  7874 
  7875   make_keylist = AList.make
  7876   keyfilter = AList.find (op =)
  7877 
  7878 * eq_fst and eq_snd now take explicit equality parameter, thus
  7879   avoiding eqtypes. Naive rewrites:
  7880 
  7881     eq_fst = eq_fst (op =)
  7882     eq_snd = eq_snd (op =)
  7883 
  7884 * Removed deprecated apl and apr (rarely used).
  7885   Naive rewrites:
  7886 
  7887     apl (n, op) =>>= curry op n
  7888     apr (op, m) =>>= fn n => op (n, m)
  7889 
  7890 * Pure/General: structure OrdList (cf. Pure/General/ord_list.ML)
  7891 provides a reasonably efficient light-weight implementation of sets as
  7892 lists.
  7893 
  7894 * Pure/General: generic tables (cf. Pure/General/table.ML) provide a
  7895 few new operations; existing lookup and update are now curried to
  7896 follow natural argument order (for use with fold etc.);
  7897 INCOMPATIBILITY, use (uncurry Symtab.lookup) etc. as last resort.
  7898 
  7899 * Pure/General: output via the Isabelle channels of
  7900 writeln/warning/error etc. is now passed through Output.output, with a
  7901 hook for arbitrary transformations depending on the print_mode
  7902 (cf. Output.add_mode -- the first active mode that provides a output
  7903 function wins).  Already formatted output may be embedded into further
  7904 text via Output.raw; the result of Pretty.string_of/str_of and derived
  7905 functions (string_of_term/cterm/thm etc.) is already marked raw to
  7906 accommodate easy composition of diagnostic messages etc.  Programmers
  7907 rarely need to care about Output.output or Output.raw at all, with
  7908 some notable exceptions: Output.output is required when bypassing the
  7909 standard channels (writeln etc.), or in token translations to produce
  7910 properly formatted results; Output.raw is required when capturing
  7911 already output material that will eventually be presented to the user
  7912 a second time.  For the default print mode, both Output.output and
  7913 Output.raw have no effect.
  7914 
  7915 * Pure/General: Output.time_accumulator NAME creates an operator ('a
  7916 -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'b to measure runtime and count invocations; the
  7917 cumulative results are displayed at the end of a batch session.
  7918 
  7919 * Pure/General: File.sysify_path and File.quote_sysify path have been
  7920 replaced by File.platform_path and File.shell_path (with appropriate
  7921 hooks).  This provides a clean interface for unusual systems where the
  7922 internal and external process view of file names are different.
  7923 
  7924 * Pure: more efficient orders for basic syntactic entities: added
  7925 fast_string_ord, fast_indexname_ord, fast_term_ord; changed sort_ord
  7926 and typ_ord to use fast_string_ord and fast_indexname_ord (term_ord is
  7927 NOT affected); structures Symtab, Vartab, Typtab, Termtab use the fast
  7928 orders now -- potential INCOMPATIBILITY for code that depends on a
  7929 particular order for Symtab.keys, Symtab.dest, etc. (consider using
  7930 Library.sort_strings on result).
  7931 
  7932 * Pure/term.ML: combinators fold_atyps, fold_aterms, fold_term_types,
  7933 fold_types traverse types/terms from left to right, observing natural
  7934 argument order.  Supercedes previous foldl_XXX versions, add_frees,
  7935 add_vars etc. have been adapted as well: INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7936 
  7937 * Pure: name spaces have been refined, with significant changes of the
  7938 internal interfaces -- INCOMPATIBILITY.  Renamed cond_extern(_table)
  7939 to extern(_table).  The plain name entry path is superceded by a
  7940 general 'naming' context, which also includes the 'policy' to produce
  7941 a fully qualified name and external accesses of a fully qualified
  7942 name; NameSpace.extend is superceded by context dependent
  7943 Sign.declare_name.  Several theory and proof context operations modify
  7944 the naming context.  Especially note Theory.restore_naming and
  7945 ProofContext.restore_naming to get back to a sane state; note that
  7946 Theory.add_path is no longer sufficient to recover from
  7947 Theory.absolute_path in particular.
  7948 
  7949 * Pure: new flags short_names (default false) and unique_names
  7950 (default true) for controlling output of qualified names.  If
  7951 short_names is set, names are printed unqualified.  If unique_names is
  7952 reset, the name prefix is reduced to the minimum required to achieve
  7953 the original result when interning again, even if there is an overlap
  7954 with earlier declarations.
  7955 
  7956 * Pure/TheoryDataFun: change of the argument structure; 'prep_ext' is
  7957 now 'extend', and 'merge' gets an additional Pretty.pp argument
  7958 (useful for printing error messages).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7959 
  7960 * Pure: major reorganization of the theory context.  Type Sign.sg and
  7961 Theory.theory are now identified, referring to the universal
  7962 Context.theory (see Pure/context.ML).  Actual signature and theory
  7963 content is managed as theory data.  The old code and interfaces were
  7964 spread over many files and structures; the new arrangement introduces
  7965 considerable INCOMPATIBILITY to gain more clarity:
  7966 
  7967   Context -- theory management operations (name, identity, inclusion,
  7968     parents, ancestors, merge, etc.), plus generic theory data;
  7969 
  7970   Sign -- logical signature and syntax operations (declaring consts,
  7971     types, etc.), plus certify/read for common entities;
  7972 
  7973   Theory -- logical theory operations (stating axioms, definitions,
  7974     oracles), plus a copy of logical signature operations (consts,
  7975     types, etc.); also a few basic management operations (Theory.copy,
  7976     Theory.merge, etc.)
  7977 
  7978 The most basic sign_of operations (Theory.sign_of, Thm.sign_of_thm
  7979 etc.) as well as the sign field in Thm.rep_thm etc. have been retained
  7980 for convenience -- they merely return the theory.
  7981 
  7982 * Pure: type Type.tsig is superceded by theory in most interfaces.
  7983 
  7984 * Pure: the Isar proof context type is already defined early in Pure
  7985 as Context.proof (note that ProofContext.context and Proof.context are
  7986 aliases, where the latter is the preferred name).  This enables other
  7987 Isabelle components to refer to that type even before Isar is present.
  7988 
  7989 * Pure/sign/theory: discontinued named name spaces (i.e. classK,
  7990 typeK, constK, axiomK, oracleK), but provide explicit operations for
  7991 any of these kinds.  For example, Sign.intern typeK is now
  7992 Sign.intern_type, Theory.hide_space Sign.typeK is now
  7993 Theory.hide_types.  Also note that former
  7994 Theory.hide_classes/types/consts are now
  7995 Theory.hide_classes_i/types_i/consts_i, while the non '_i' versions
  7996 internalize their arguments!  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7997 
  7998 * Pure: get_thm interface (of PureThy and ProofContext) expects
  7999 datatype thmref (with constructors Name and NameSelection) instead of
  8000 plain string -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8001 
  8002 * Pure: cases produced by proof methods specify options, where NONE
  8003 means to remove case bindings -- INCOMPATIBILITY in
  8004 (RAW_)METHOD_CASES.
  8005 
  8006 * Pure: the following operations retrieve axioms or theorems from a
  8007 theory node or theory hierarchy, respectively:
  8008 
  8009   Theory.axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  8010   Theory.all_axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  8011   PureThy.thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  8012   PureThy.all_thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  8013 
  8014 * Pure: print_tac now outputs the goal through the trace channel.
  8015 
  8016 * Isar toplevel: improved diagnostics, mostly for Poly/ML only.
  8017 Reference Toplevel.debug (default false) controls detailed printing
  8018 and tracing of low-level exceptions; Toplevel.profiling (default 0)
  8019 controls execution profiling -- set to 1 for time and 2 for space
  8020 (both increase the runtime).
  8021 
  8022 * Isar session: The initial use of ROOT.ML is now always timed,
  8023 i.e. the log will show the actual process times, in contrast to the
  8024 elapsed wall-clock time that the outer shell wrapper produces.
  8025 
  8026 * Simplifier: improved handling of bound variables (nameless
  8027 representation, avoid allocating new strings).  Simprocs that invoke
  8028 the Simplifier recursively should use Simplifier.inherit_bounds to
  8029 avoid local name clashes.  Failure to do so produces warnings
  8030 "Simplifier: renamed bound variable ..."; set Simplifier.debug_bounds
  8031 for further details.
  8032 
  8033 * ML functions legacy_bindings and use_legacy_bindings produce ML fact
  8034 bindings for all theorems stored within a given theory; this may help
  8035 in porting non-Isar theories to Isar ones, while keeping ML proof
  8036 scripts for the time being.
  8037 
  8038 * ML operator HTML.with_charset specifies the charset begin used for
  8039 generated HTML files.  For example:
  8040 
  8041   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Hebrew";
  8042   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Chinese";
  8043 
  8044 
  8045 *** System ***
  8046 
  8047 * Allow symlinks to all proper Isabelle executables (Isabelle,
  8048 isabelle, isatool etc.).
  8049 
  8050 * ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT setting specifies preferred document format (for
  8051 isatool doc, isatool mkdir, display_drafts etc.).
  8052 
  8053 * isatool usedir: option -f allows specification of the ML file to be
  8054 used by Isabelle; default is ROOT.ML.
  8055 
  8056 * New isatool version outputs the version identifier of the Isabelle
  8057 distribution being used.
  8058 
  8059 * HOL: new isatool dimacs2hol converts files in DIMACS CNF format
  8060 (containing Boolean satisfiability problems) into Isabelle/HOL
  8061 theories.
  8062 
  8063 
  8064 
  8065 New in Isabelle2004 (April 2004)
  8066 --------------------------------
  8067 
  8068 *** General ***
  8069 
  8070 * Provers/order.ML:  new efficient reasoner for partial and linear orders.
  8071   Replaces linorder.ML.
  8072 
  8073 * Pure: Greek letters (except small lambda, \<lambda>), as well as Gothic
  8074   (\<aa>...\<zz>\<AA>...\<ZZ>), calligraphic (\<A>...\<Z>), and Euler
  8075   (\<a>...\<z>), are now considered normal letters, and can therefore
  8076   be used anywhere where an ASCII letter (a...zA...Z) has until
  8077   now. COMPATIBILITY: This obviously changes the parsing of some
  8078   terms, especially where a symbol has been used as a binder, say
  8079   '\<Pi>x. ...', which is now a type error since \<Pi>x will be parsed
  8080   as an identifier.  Fix it by inserting a space around former
  8081   symbols.  Call 'isatool fixgreek' to try to fix parsing errors in
  8082   existing theory and ML files.
  8083 
  8084 * Pure: Macintosh and Windows line-breaks are now allowed in theory files.
  8085 
  8086 * Pure: single letter sub/superscripts (\<^isub> and \<^isup>) are now
  8087   allowed in identifiers. Similar to Greek letters \<^isub> is now considered
  8088   a normal (but invisible) letter. For multiple letter subscripts repeat
  8089   \<^isub> like this: x\<^isub>1\<^isub>2.
  8090 
  8091 * Pure: There are now sub-/superscripts that can span more than one
  8092   character. Text between \<^bsub> and \<^esub> is set in subscript in
  8093   ProofGeneral and LaTeX, text between \<^bsup> and \<^esup> in
  8094   superscript. The new control characters are not identifier parts.
  8095 
  8096 * Pure: Control-symbols of the form \<^raw:...> will literally print the
  8097   content of "..." to the latex file instead of \isacntrl... . The "..."
  8098   may consist of any printable characters excluding the end bracket >.
  8099 
  8100 * Pure: Using new Isar command "finalconsts" (or the ML functions
  8101   Theory.add_finals or Theory.add_finals_i) it is now possible to
  8102   declare constants "final", which prevents their being given a definition
  8103   later.  It is useful for constants whose behaviour is fixed axiomatically
  8104   rather than definitionally, such as the meta-logic connectives.
  8105 
  8106 * Pure: 'instance' now handles general arities with general sorts
  8107   (i.e. intersections of classes),
  8108 
  8109 * Presentation: generated HTML now uses a CSS style sheet to make layout
  8110   (somewhat) independent of content. It is copied from lib/html/isabelle.css.
  8111   It can be changed to alter the colors/layout of generated pages.
  8112 
  8113 
  8114 *** Isar ***
  8115 
  8116 * Tactic emulation methods rule_tac, erule_tac, drule_tac, frule_tac,
  8117   cut_tac, subgoal_tac and thin_tac:
  8118   - Now understand static (Isar) contexts.  As a consequence, users of Isar
  8119     locales are no longer forced to write Isar proof scripts.
  8120     For details see Isar Reference Manual, paragraph 4.3.2: Further tactic
  8121     emulations.
  8122   - INCOMPATIBILITY: names of variables to be instantiated may no
  8123     longer be enclosed in quotes.  Instead, precede variable name with `?'.
  8124     This is consistent with the instantiation attribute "where".
  8125 
  8126 * Attributes "where" and "of":
  8127   - Now take type variables of instantiated theorem into account when reading
  8128     the instantiation string.  This fixes a bug that caused instantiated
  8129     theorems to have too special types in some circumstances.
  8130   - "where" permits explicit instantiations of type variables.
  8131 
  8132 * Calculation commands "moreover" and "also" no longer interfere with
  8133   current facts ("this"), admitting arbitrary combinations with "then"
  8134   and derived forms.
  8135 
  8136 * Locales:
  8137   - Goal statements involving the context element "includes" no longer
  8138     generate theorems with internal delta predicates (those ending on
  8139     "_axioms") in the premise.
  8140     Resolve particular premise with <locale>.intro to obtain old form.
  8141   - Fixed bug in type inference ("unify_frozen") that prevented mix of target
  8142     specification and "includes" elements in goal statement.
  8143   - Rule sets <locale>.intro and <locale>.axioms no longer declared as
  8144     [intro?] and [elim?] (respectively) by default.
  8145   - Experimental command for instantiation of locales in proof contexts:
  8146         instantiate <label>[<attrs>]: <loc>
  8147     Instantiates locale <loc> and adds all its theorems to the current context
  8148     taking into account their attributes.  Label and attrs are optional
  8149     modifiers, like in theorem declarations.  If present, names of
  8150     instantiated theorems are qualified with <label>, and the attributes
  8151     <attrs> are applied after any attributes these theorems might have already.
  8152       If the locale has assumptions, a chained fact of the form
  8153     "<loc> t1 ... tn" is expected from which instantiations of the parameters
  8154     are derived.  The command does not support old-style locales declared
  8155     with "locale (open)".
  8156       A few (very simple) examples can be found in FOL/ex/LocaleInst.thy.
  8157 
  8158 * HOL: Tactic emulation methods induct_tac and case_tac understand static
  8159   (Isar) contexts.
  8160 
  8161 
  8162 *** HOL ***
  8163 
  8164 * Proof import: new image HOL4 contains the imported library from
  8165   the HOL4 system with about 2500 theorems. It is imported by
  8166   replaying proof terms produced by HOL4 in Isabelle. The HOL4 image
  8167   can be used like any other Isabelle image.  See
  8168   HOL/Import/HOL/README for more information.
  8169 
  8170 * Simplifier:
  8171   - Much improved handling of linear and partial orders.
  8172     Reasoners for linear and partial orders are set up for type classes
  8173     "linorder" and "order" respectively, and are added to the default simpset
  8174     as solvers.  This means that the simplifier can build transitivity chains
  8175     to solve goals from the assumptions.
  8176   - INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break occasionally.  Typically, applications
  8177     of blast or auto after simplification become unnecessary because the goal
  8178     is solved by simplification already.
  8179 
  8180 * Numerics: new theory Ring_and_Field contains over 250 basic numerical laws,
  8181     all proved in axiomatic type classes for semirings, rings and fields.
  8182 
  8183 * Numerics:
  8184   - Numeric types (nat, int, and in HOL-Complex rat, real, complex, etc.) are
  8185     now formalized using the Ring_and_Field theory mentioned above.
  8186   - INCOMPATIBILITY: simplification and arithmetic behaves somewhat differently
  8187     than before, because now they are set up once in a generic manner.
  8188   - INCOMPATIBILITY: many type-specific arithmetic laws have gone.
  8189     Look for the general versions in Ring_and_Field (and Power if they concern
  8190     exponentiation).
  8191 
  8192 * Type "rat" of the rational numbers is now available in HOL-Complex.
  8193 
  8194 * Records:
  8195   - Record types are now by default printed with their type abbreviation
  8196     instead of the list of all field types. This can be configured via
  8197     the reference "print_record_type_abbr".
  8198   - Simproc "record_upd_simproc" for simplification of multiple updates added
  8199     (not enabled by default).
  8200   - Simproc "record_ex_sel_eq_simproc" to simplify EX x. sel r = x resp.
  8201     EX x. x = sel r to True (not enabled by default).
  8202   - Tactic "record_split_simp_tac" to split and simplify records added.
  8203 
  8204 * 'specification' command added, allowing for definition by
  8205   specification.  There is also an 'ax_specification' command that
  8206   introduces the new constants axiomatically.
  8207 
  8208 * arith(_tac) is now able to generate counterexamples for reals as well.
  8209 
  8210 * HOL-Algebra: new locale "ring" for non-commutative rings.
  8211 
  8212 * HOL-ex: InductiveInvariant_examples illustrates advanced recursive function
  8213   definitions, thanks to Sava Krsti\'{c} and John Matthews.
  8214 
  8215 * HOL-Matrix: a first theory for matrices in HOL with an application of
  8216   matrix theory to linear programming.
  8217 
  8218 * Unions and Intersections:
  8219   The latex output syntax of UN and INT has been changed
  8220   from "\Union x \in A. B" to "\Union_{x \in A} B"
  8221   i.e. the index formulae has become a subscript.
  8222   Similarly for "\Union x. B", and for \Inter instead of \Union.
  8223 
  8224 * Unions and Intersections over Intervals:
  8225   There is new short syntax "UN i<=n. A" for "UN i:{0..n}. A". There is
  8226   also an x-symbol version with subscripts "\<Union>\<^bsub>i <= n\<^esub>. A"
  8227   like in normal math, and corresponding versions for < and for intersection.
  8228 
  8229 * HOL/List: Ordering "lexico" is renamed "lenlex" and the standard
  8230   lexicographic dictonary ordering has been added as "lexord".
  8231 
  8232 * ML: the legacy theory structures Int and List have been removed. They had
  8233   conflicted with ML Basis Library structures having the same names.
  8234 
  8235 * 'refute' command added to search for (finite) countermodels.  Only works
  8236   for a fragment of HOL.  The installation of an external SAT solver is
  8237   highly recommended.  See "HOL/Refute.thy" for details.
  8238 
  8239 * 'quickcheck' command: Allows to find counterexamples by evaluating
  8240   formulae under an assignment of free variables to random values.
  8241   In contrast to 'refute', it can deal with inductive datatypes,
  8242   but cannot handle quantifiers. See "HOL/ex/Quickcheck_Examples.thy"
  8243   for examples.
  8244 
  8245 
  8246 *** HOLCF ***
  8247 
  8248 * Streams now come with concatenation and are part of the HOLCF image
  8249 
  8250 
  8251 
  8252 New in Isabelle2003 (May 2003)
  8253 ------------------------------
  8254 
  8255 *** General ***
  8256 
  8257 * Provers/simplifier:
  8258 
  8259   - Completely reimplemented method simp (ML: Asm_full_simp_tac):
  8260     Assumptions are now subject to complete mutual simplification,
  8261     not just from left to right. The simplifier now preserves
  8262     the order of assumptions.
  8263 
  8264     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  8265 
  8266     -- simp sometimes diverges where the old version did
  8267        not, e.g. invoking simp on the goal
  8268 
  8269         [| P (f x); y = x; f x = f y |] ==> Q
  8270 
  8271        now gives rise to the infinite reduction sequence
  8272 
  8273         P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> P(f y) --(y = x)--> P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> ...
  8274 
  8275        Using "simp (asm_lr)" (ML: Asm_lr_simp_tac) instead often solves this
  8276        kind of problem.
  8277 
  8278     -- Tactics combining classical reasoner and simplification (such as auto)
  8279        are also affected by this change, because many of them rely on
  8280        simp. They may sometimes diverge as well or yield a different numbers
  8281        of subgoals. Try to use e.g. force, fastsimp, or safe instead of auto
  8282        in case of problems. Sometimes subsequent calls to the classical
  8283        reasoner will fail because a preceeding call to the simplifier too
  8284        eagerly simplified the goal, e.g. deleted redundant premises.
  8285 
  8286   - The simplifier trace now shows the names of the applied rewrite rules
  8287 
  8288   - You can limit the number of recursive invocations of the simplifier
  8289     during conditional rewriting (where the simplifie tries to solve the
  8290     conditions before applying the rewrite rule):
  8291     ML "simp_depth_limit := n"
  8292     where n is an integer. Thus you can force termination where previously
  8293     the simplifier would diverge.
  8294 
  8295   - Accepts free variables as head terms in congruence rules.  Useful in Isar.
  8296 
  8297   - No longer aborts on failed congruence proof.  Instead, the
  8298     congruence is ignored.
  8299 
  8300 * Pure: New generic framework for extracting programs from constructive
  8301   proofs. See HOL/Extraction.thy for an example instantiation, as well
  8302   as HOL/Extraction for some case studies.
  8303 
  8304 * Pure: The main goal of the proof state is no longer shown by default, only
  8305 the subgoals. This behaviour is controlled by a new flag.
  8306    PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Settings -> Show Main Goal
  8307 (ML: Proof.show_main_goal).
  8308 
  8309 * Pure: You can find all matching introduction rules for subgoal 1, i.e. all
  8310 rules whose conclusion matches subgoal 1:
  8311       PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Show me -> matching rules
  8312 The rules are ordered by how closely they match the subgoal.
  8313 In particular, rules that solve a subgoal outright are displayed first
  8314 (or rather last, the way they are printed).
  8315 (ML: ProofGeneral.print_intros())
  8316 
  8317 * Pure: New flag trace_unify_fail causes unification to print
  8318 diagnostic information (PG: in trace buffer) when it fails. This is
  8319 useful for figuring out why single step proofs like rule, erule or
  8320 assumption failed.
  8321 
  8322 * Pure: Locale specifications now produce predicate definitions
  8323 according to the body of text (covering assumptions modulo local
  8324 definitions); predicate "loc_axioms" covers newly introduced text,
  8325 while "loc" is cumulative wrt. all included locale expressions; the
  8326 latter view is presented only on export into the global theory
  8327 context; potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use "(open)" option to fall back
  8328 on the old view without predicates;
  8329 
  8330 * Pure: predefined locales "var" and "struct" are useful for sharing
  8331 parameters (as in CASL, for example); just specify something like
  8332 ``var x + var y + struct M'' as import;
  8333 
  8334 * Pure: improved thms_containing: proper indexing of facts instead of
  8335 raw theorems; check validity of results wrt. current name space;
  8336 include local facts of proof configuration (also covers active
  8337 locales), cover fixed variables in index; may use "_" in term
  8338 specification; an optional limit for the number of printed facts may
  8339 be given (the default is 40);
  8340 
  8341 * Pure: disallow duplicate fact bindings within new-style theory files
  8342 (batch-mode only);
  8343 
  8344 * Provers: improved induct method: assumptions introduced by case
  8345 "foo" are split into "foo.hyps" (from the rule) and "foo.prems" (from
  8346 the goal statement); "foo" still refers to all facts collectively;
  8347 
  8348 * Provers: the function blast.overloaded has been removed: all constants
  8349 are regarded as potentially overloaded, which improves robustness in exchange
  8350 for slight decrease in efficiency;
  8351 
  8352 * Provers/linorder: New generic prover for transitivity reasoning over
  8353 linear orders.  Note: this prover is not efficient!
  8354 
  8355 * Isar: preview of problems to finish 'show' now produce an error
  8356 rather than just a warning (in interactive mode);
  8357 
  8358 
  8359 *** HOL ***
  8360 
  8361 * arith(_tac)
  8362 
  8363  - Produces a counter example if it cannot prove a goal.
  8364    Note that the counter example may be spurious if the goal is not a formula
  8365    of quantifier-free linear arithmetic.
  8366    In ProofGeneral the counter example appears in the trace buffer.
  8367 
  8368  - Knows about div k and mod k where k is a numeral of type nat or int.
  8369 
  8370  - Calls full Presburger arithmetic (by Amine Chaieb) if quantifier-free
  8371    linear arithmetic fails. This takes account of quantifiers and divisibility.
  8372    Presburger arithmetic can also be called explicitly via presburger(_tac).
  8373 
  8374 * simp's arithmetic capabilities have been enhanced a bit: it now
  8375 takes ~= in premises into account (by performing a case split);
  8376 
  8377 * simp reduces "m*(n div m) + n mod m" to n, even if the two summands
  8378 are distributed over a sum of terms;
  8379 
  8380 * New tactic "trans_tac" and method "trans" instantiate
  8381 Provers/linorder.ML for axclasses "order" and "linorder" (predicates
  8382 "<=", "<" and "=").
  8383 
  8384 * function INCOMPATIBILITIES: Pi-sets have been redefined and moved from main
  8385 HOL to Library/FuncSet; constant "Fun.op o" is now called "Fun.comp";
  8386 
  8387 * 'typedef' command has new option "open" to suppress the set
  8388 definition;
  8389 
  8390 * functions Min and Max on finite sets have been introduced (theory
  8391 Finite_Set);
  8392 
  8393 * attribute [symmetric] now works for relations as well; it turns
  8394 (x,y) : R^-1 into (y,x) : R, and vice versa;
  8395 
  8396 * induct over a !!-quantified statement (say !!x1..xn):
  8397   each "case" automatically performs "fix x1 .. xn" with exactly those names.
  8398 
  8399 * Map: `empty' is no longer a constant but a syntactic abbreviation for
  8400 %x. None. Warning: empty_def now refers to the previously hidden definition
  8401 of the empty set.
  8402 
  8403 * Algebra: formalization of classical algebra.  Intended as base for
  8404 any algebraic development in Isabelle.  Currently covers group theory
  8405 (up to Sylow's theorem) and ring theory (Universal Property of
  8406 Univariate Polynomials).  Contributions welcome;
  8407 
  8408 * GroupTheory: deleted, since its material has been moved to Algebra;
  8409 
  8410 * Complex: new directory of the complex numbers with numeric constants,
  8411 nonstandard complex numbers, and some complex analysis, standard and
  8412 nonstandard (Jacques Fleuriot);
  8413 
  8414 * HOL-Complex: new image for analysis, replacing HOL-Real and HOL-Hyperreal;
  8415 
  8416 * Hyperreal: introduced Gauge integration and hyperreal logarithms (Jacques
  8417 Fleuriot);
  8418 
  8419 * Real/HahnBanach: updated and adapted to locales;
  8420 
  8421 * NumberTheory: added Gauss's law of quadratic reciprocity (by Avigad,
  8422 Gray and Kramer);
  8423 
  8424 * UNITY: added the Meier-Sanders theory of progress sets;
  8425 
  8426 * MicroJava: bytecode verifier and lightweight bytecode verifier
  8427 as abstract algorithms, instantiated to the JVM;
  8428 
  8429 * Bali: Java source language formalization. Type system, operational
  8430 semantics, axiomatic semantics. Supported language features:
  8431 classes, interfaces, objects,virtual methods, static methods,
  8432 static/instance fields, arrays, access modifiers, definite
  8433 assignment, exceptions.
  8434 
  8435 
  8436 *** ZF ***
  8437 
  8438 * ZF/Constructible: consistency proof for AC (Gdel's constructible
  8439 universe, etc.);
  8440 
  8441 * Main ZF: virtually all theories converted to new-style format;
  8442 
  8443 
  8444 *** ML ***
  8445 
  8446 * Pure: Tactic.prove provides sane interface for internal proofs;
  8447 omits the infamous "standard" operation, so this is more appropriate
  8448 than prove_goalw_cterm in many situations (e.g. in simprocs);
  8449 
  8450 * Pure: improved error reporting of simprocs;
  8451 
  8452 * Provers: Simplifier.simproc(_i) provides sane interface for setting
  8453 up simprocs;
  8454 
  8455 
  8456 *** Document preparation ***
  8457 
  8458 * uses \par instead of \\ for line breaks in theory text. This may
  8459 shift some page breaks in large documents. To get the old behaviour
  8460 use \renewcommand{\isanewline}{\mbox{}\\\mbox{}} in root.tex.
  8461 
  8462 * minimized dependencies of isabelle.sty and isabellesym.sty on
  8463 other packages
  8464 
  8465 * \<euro> now needs package babel/greek instead of marvosym (which
  8466 broke \Rightarrow)
  8467 
  8468 * normal size for \<zero>...\<nine> (uses \mathbf instead of
  8469 textcomp package)
  8470 
  8471 
  8472 
  8473 New in Isabelle2002 (March 2002)
  8474 --------------------------------
  8475 
  8476 *** Document preparation ***
  8477 
  8478 * greatly simplified document preparation setup, including more
  8479 graceful interpretation of isatool usedir -i/-d/-D options, and more
  8480 instructive isatool mkdir; users should basically be able to get
  8481 started with "isatool mkdir HOL Test && isatool make"; alternatively,
  8482 users may run a separate document processing stage manually like this:
  8483 "isatool usedir -D output HOL Test && isatool document Test/output";
  8484 
  8485 * theory dependency graph may now be incorporated into documents;
  8486 isatool usedir -g true will produce session_graph.eps/.pdf for use
  8487 with \includegraphics of LaTeX;
  8488 
  8489 * proper spacing of consecutive markup elements, especially text
  8490 blocks after section headings;
  8491 
  8492 * support bold style (for single symbols only), input syntax is like
  8493 this: "\<^bold>\<alpha>" or "\<^bold>A";
  8494 
  8495 * \<bullet> is now output as bold \cdot by default, which looks much
  8496 better in printed text;
  8497 
  8498 * added default LaTeX bindings for \<tturnstile> and \<TTurnstile>;
  8499 note that these symbols are currently unavailable in Proof General /
  8500 X-Symbol; new symbols \<zero>, \<one>, ..., \<nine>, and \<euro>;
  8501 
  8502 * isatool latex no longer depends on changed TEXINPUTS, instead
  8503 isatool document copies the Isabelle style files to the target
  8504 location;
  8505 
  8506 
  8507 *** Isar ***
  8508 
  8509 * Pure/Provers: improved proof by cases and induction;
  8510   - 'case' command admits impromptu naming of parameters (such as
  8511     "case (Suc n)");
  8512   - 'induct' method divinates rule instantiation from the inductive
  8513     claim; no longer requires excessive ?P bindings for proper
  8514     instantiation of cases;
  8515   - 'induct' method properly enumerates all possibilities of set/type
  8516     rules; as a consequence facts may be also passed through *type*
  8517     rules without further ado;
  8518   - 'induct' method now derives symbolic cases from the *rulified*
  8519     rule (before it used to rulify cases stemming from the internal
  8520     atomized version); this means that the context of a non-atomic
  8521     statement becomes is included in the hypothesis, avoiding the
  8522     slightly cumbersome show "PROP ?case" form;
  8523   - 'induct' may now use elim-style induction rules without chaining
  8524     facts, using ``missing'' premises from the goal state; this allows
  8525     rules stemming from inductive sets to be applied in unstructured
  8526     scripts, while still benefitting from proper handling of non-atomic
  8527     statements; NB: major inductive premises need to be put first, all
  8528     the rest of the goal is passed through the induction;
  8529   - 'induct' proper support for mutual induction involving non-atomic
  8530     rule statements (uses the new concept of simultaneous goals, see
  8531     below);
  8532   - append all possible rule selections, but only use the first
  8533     success (no backtracking);
  8534   - removed obsolete "(simplified)" and "(stripped)" options of methods;
  8535   - undeclared rule case names default to numbers 1, 2, 3, ...;
  8536   - added 'print_induct_rules' (covered by help item in recent Proof
  8537     General versions);
  8538   - moved induct/cases attributes to Pure, methods to Provers;
  8539   - generic method setup instantiated for FOL and HOL;
  8540 
  8541 * Pure: support multiple simultaneous goal statements, for example
  8542 "have a: A and b: B" (same for 'theorem' etc.); being a pure
  8543 meta-level mechanism, this acts as if several individual goals had
  8544 been stated separately; in particular common proof methods need to be
  8545 repeated in order to cover all claims; note that a single elimination
  8546 step is *not* sufficient to establish the two conjunctions, so this
  8547 fails:
  8548 
  8549   assume "A & B" then have A and B ..   (*".." fails*)
  8550 
  8551 better use "obtain" in situations as above; alternative refer to
  8552 multi-step methods like 'auto', 'simp_all', 'blast+' etc.;
  8553 
  8554 * Pure: proper integration with ``locales''; unlike the original
  8555 version by Florian Kammller, Isar locales package high-level proof
  8556 contexts rather than raw logical ones (e.g. we admit to include
  8557 attributes everywhere); operations on locales include merge and
  8558 rename; support for implicit arguments (``structures''); simultaneous
  8559 type-inference over imports and text; see also HOL/ex/Locales.thy for
  8560 some examples;
  8561 
  8562 * Pure: the following commands have been ``localized'', supporting a
  8563 target locale specification "(in name)": 'lemma', 'theorem',
  8564 'corollary', 'lemmas', 'theorems', 'declare'; the results will be
  8565 stored both within the locale and at the theory level (exported and
  8566 qualified by the locale name);
  8567 
  8568 * Pure: theory goals may now be specified in ``long'' form, with
  8569 ad-hoc contexts consisting of arbitrary locale elements. for example
  8570 ``lemma foo: fixes x assumes "A x" shows "B x"'' (local syntax and
  8571 definitions may be given, too); the result is a meta-level rule with
  8572 the context elements being discharged in the obvious way;
  8573 
  8574 * Pure: new proof command 'using' allows to augment currently used
  8575 facts after a goal statement ('using' is syntactically analogous to
  8576 'apply', but acts on the goal's facts only); this allows chained facts
  8577 to be separated into parts given before and after a claim, as in
  8578 ``from a and b have C using d and e <proof>'';
  8579 
  8580 * Pure: renamed "antecedent" case to "rule_context";
  8581 
  8582 * Pure: new 'judgment' command records explicit information about the
  8583 object-logic embedding (used by several tools internally); no longer
  8584 use hard-wired "Trueprop";
  8585 
  8586 * Pure: added 'corollary' command;
  8587 
  8588 * Pure: fixed 'token_translation' command;
  8589 
  8590 * Pure: removed obsolete 'exported' attribute;
  8591 
  8592 * Pure: dummy pattern "_" in is/let is now automatically lifted over
  8593 bound variables: "ALL x. P x --> Q x" (is "ALL x. _ --> ?C x")
  8594 supersedes more cumbersome ... (is "ALL x. _ x --> ?C x");
  8595 
  8596 * Pure: method 'atomize' presents local goal premises as object-level
  8597 statements (atomic meta-level propositions); setup controlled via
  8598 rewrite rules declarations of 'atomize' attribute; example
  8599 application: 'induct' method with proper rule statements in improper
  8600 proof *scripts*;
  8601 
  8602 * Pure: emulation of instantiation tactics (rule_tac, cut_tac, etc.)
  8603 now consider the syntactic context of assumptions, giving a better
  8604 chance to get type-inference of the arguments right (this is
  8605 especially important for locales);
  8606 
  8607 * Pure: "sorry" no longer requires quick_and_dirty in interactive
  8608 mode;
  8609 
  8610 * Pure/obtain: the formal conclusion "thesis", being marked as
  8611 ``internal'', may no longer be reference directly in the text;
  8612 potential INCOMPATIBILITY, may need to use "?thesis" in rare
  8613 situations;
  8614 
  8615 * Pure: generic 'sym' attribute which declares a rule both as pure
  8616 'elim?' and for the 'symmetric' operation;
  8617 
  8618 * Pure: marginal comments ``--'' may now occur just anywhere in the
  8619 text; the fixed correlation with particular command syntax has been
  8620 discontinued;
  8621 
  8622 * Pure: new method 'rules' is particularly well-suited for proof
  8623 search in intuitionistic logic; a bit slower than 'blast' or 'fast',
  8624 but often produces more compact proof terms with less detours;
  8625 
  8626 * Pure/Provers/classical: simplified integration with pure rule
  8627 attributes and methods; the classical "intro?/elim?/dest?"
  8628 declarations coincide with the pure ones; the "rule" method no longer
  8629 includes classically swapped intros; "intro" and "elim" methods no
  8630 longer pick rules from the context; also got rid of ML declarations
  8631 AddXIs/AddXEs/AddXDs; all of this has some potential for
  8632 INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8633 
  8634 * Provers/classical: attribute 'swapped' produces classical inversions
  8635 of introduction rules;
  8636 
  8637 * Provers/simplifier: 'simplified' attribute may refer to explicit
  8638 rules instead of full simplifier context; 'iff' attribute handles
  8639 conditional rules;
  8640 
  8641 * HOL: 'typedef' now allows alternative names for Rep/Abs morphisms;
  8642 
  8643 * HOL: 'recdef' now fails on unfinished automated proofs, use
  8644 "(permissive)" option to recover old behavior;
  8645 
  8646 * HOL: 'inductive' no longer features separate (collective) attributes
  8647 for 'intros' (was found too confusing);
  8648 
  8649 * HOL: properly declared induction rules less_induct and
  8650 wf_induct_rule;
  8651 
  8652 
  8653 *** HOL ***
  8654 
  8655 * HOL: moved over to sane numeral syntax; the new policy is as
  8656 follows:
  8657 
  8658   - 0 and 1 are polymorphic constants, which are defined on any
  8659   numeric type (nat, int, real etc.);
  8660 
  8661   - 2, 3, 4, ... and -1, -2, -3, ... are polymorphic numerals, based
  8662   binary representation internally;
  8663 
  8664   - type nat has special constructor Suc, and generally prefers Suc 0
  8665   over 1::nat and Suc (Suc 0) over 2::nat;
  8666 
  8667 This change may cause significant problems of INCOMPATIBILITY; here
  8668 are some hints on converting existing sources:
  8669 
  8670   - due to the new "num" token, "-0" and "-1" etc. are now atomic
  8671   entities, so expressions involving "-" (unary or binary minus) need
  8672   to be spaced properly;
  8673 
  8674   - existing occurrences of "1" may need to be constraint "1::nat" or
  8675   even replaced by Suc 0; similar for old "2";
  8676 
  8677   - replace "#nnn" by "nnn", and "#-nnn" by "-nnn";
  8678 
  8679   - remove all special provisions on numerals in proofs;
  8680 
  8681 * HOL: simp rules nat_number expand numerals on nat to Suc/0
  8682 representation (depends on bin_arith_simps in the default context);
  8683 
  8684 * HOL: symbolic syntax for x^2 (numeral 2);
  8685 
  8686 * HOL: the class of all HOL types is now called "type" rather than
  8687 "term"; INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt references to this type class
  8688 in axclass/classes, instance/arities, and (usually rare) occurrences
  8689 in typings (of consts etc.); internally the class is called
  8690 "HOL.type", ML programs should refer to HOLogic.typeS;
  8691 
  8692 * HOL/record package improvements:
  8693   - new derived operations "fields" to build a partial record section,
  8694     "extend" to promote a fixed record to a record scheme, and
  8695     "truncate" for the reverse; cf. theorems "xxx.defs", which are *not*
  8696     declared as simp by default;
  8697   - shared operations ("more", "fields", etc.) now need to be always
  8698     qualified) --- potential INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8699   - removed "make_scheme" operations (use "make" with "extend") --
  8700     INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8701   - removed "more" class (simply use "term") -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8702   - provides cases/induct rules for use with corresponding Isar
  8703     methods (for concrete records, record schemes, concrete more
  8704     parts, and schematic more parts -- in that order);
  8705   - internal definitions directly based on a light-weight abstract
  8706     theory of product types over typedef rather than datatype;
  8707 
  8708 * HOL: generic code generator for generating executable ML code from
  8709 specifications; specific support for HOL constructs such as inductive
  8710 datatypes and sets, as well as recursive functions; can be invoked
  8711 via 'generate_code' theory section;
  8712 
  8713 * HOL: canonical cases/induct rules for n-tuples (n = 3..7);
  8714 
  8715 * HOL: consolidated and renamed several theories.  In particular:
  8716         Ord.thy has been absorbed into HOL.thy
  8717         String.thy has been absorbed into List.thy
  8718 
  8719 * HOL: concrete setsum syntax "\<Sum>i:A. b" == "setsum (%i. b) A"
  8720 (beware of argument permutation!);
  8721 
  8722 * HOL: linorder_less_split superseded by linorder_cases;
  8723 
  8724 * HOL/List: "nodups" renamed to "distinct";
  8725 
  8726 * HOL: added "The" definite description operator; move Hilbert's "Eps"
  8727 to peripheral theory "Hilbert_Choice"; some INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  8728   - Ex_def has changed, now need to use some_eq_ex
  8729 
  8730 * HOL: made split_all_tac safe; EXISTING PROOFS MAY FAIL OR LOOP, so
  8731 in this (rare) case use:
  8732 
  8733   delSWrapper "split_all_tac"
  8734   addSbefore ("unsafe_split_all_tac", unsafe_split_all_tac)
  8735 
  8736 * HOL: added safe wrapper "split_conv_tac" to claset; EXISTING PROOFS
  8737 MAY FAIL;
  8738 
  8739 * HOL: introduced f^n = f o ... o f; warning: due to the limits of
  8740 Isabelle's type classes, ^ on functions and relations has too general
  8741 a domain, namely ('a * 'b) set and 'a => 'b; this means that it may be
  8742 necessary to attach explicit type constraints;
  8743 
  8744 * HOL/Relation: the prefix name of the infix "O" has been changed from
  8745 "comp" to "rel_comp"; INCOMPATIBILITY: a few theorems have been
  8746 renamed accordingly (eg "compI" -> "rel_compI").
  8747 
  8748 * HOL: syntax translations now work properly with numerals and records
  8749 expressions;
  8750 
  8751 * HOL: bounded abstraction now uses syntax "%" / "\<lambda>" instead
  8752 of "lam" -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8753 
  8754 * HOL: got rid of some global declarations (potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  8755 for ML tools): const "()" renamed "Product_Type.Unity", type "unit"
  8756 renamed "Product_Type.unit";
  8757 
  8758 * HOL: renamed rtrancl_into_rtrancl2 to converse_rtrancl_into_rtrancl
  8759 
  8760 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem "optionE" (use "option.exhaust", or
  8761 the "cases" method);
  8762 
  8763 * HOL/GroupTheory: group theory examples including Sylow's theorem (by
  8764 Florian Kammller);
  8765 
  8766 * HOL/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory format; several
  8767 parts turned into readable document, with proper Isar proof texts and
  8768 some explanations (by Gerwin Klein);
  8769 
  8770 * HOL-Real: added Complex_Numbers (by Gertrud Bauer);
  8771 
  8772 * HOL-Hyperreal is now a logic image;
  8773 
  8774 
  8775 *** HOLCF ***
  8776 
  8777 * Isar: consts/constdefs supports mixfix syntax for continuous
  8778 operations;
  8779 
  8780 * Isar: domain package adapted to new-style theory format, e.g. see
  8781 HOLCF/ex/Dnat.thy;
  8782 
  8783 * theory Lift: proper use of rep_datatype lift instead of ML hacks --
  8784 potential INCOMPATIBILITY; now use plain induct_tac instead of former
  8785 lift.induct_tac, always use UU instead of Undef;
  8786 
  8787 * HOLCF/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory;
  8788 
  8789 
  8790 *** ZF ***
  8791 
  8792 * Isar: proper integration of logic-specific tools and packages,
  8793 including theory commands '(co)inductive', '(co)datatype',
  8794 'rep_datatype', 'inductive_cases', as well as methods 'ind_cases',
  8795 'induct_tac', 'case_tac', and 'typecheck' (with attribute 'TC');
  8796 
  8797 * theory Main no longer includes AC; for the Axiom of Choice, base
  8798 your theory on Main_ZFC;
  8799 
  8800 * the integer library now covers quotients and remainders, with many
  8801 laws relating division to addition, multiplication, etc.;
  8802 
  8803 * ZF/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY is now available in ZF, giving a
  8804 typeless version of the formalism;
  8805 
  8806 * ZF/AC, Coind, IMP, Resid: updated and converted to new-style theory
  8807 format;
  8808 
  8809 * ZF/Induct: new directory for examples of inductive definitions,
  8810 including theory Multiset for multiset orderings; converted to
  8811 new-style theory format;
  8812 
  8813 * ZF: many new theorems about lists, ordinals, etc.;
  8814 
  8815 
  8816 *** General ***
  8817 
  8818 * Pure/kernel: meta-level proof terms (by Stefan Berghofer); reference
  8819 variable proof controls level of detail: 0 = no proofs (only oracle
  8820 dependencies), 1 = lemma dependencies, 2 = compact proof terms; see
  8821 also ref manual for further ML interfaces;
  8822 
  8823 * Pure/axclass: removed obsolete ML interface
  8824 goal_subclass/goal_arity;
  8825 
  8826 * Pure/syntax: new token syntax "num" for plain numerals (without "#"
  8827 of "xnum"); potential INCOMPATIBILITY, since -0, -1 etc. are now
  8828 separate tokens, so expressions involving minus need to be spaced
  8829 properly;
  8830 
  8831 * Pure/syntax: support non-oriented infixes, using keyword "infix"
  8832 rather than "infixl" or "infixr";
  8833 
  8834 * Pure/syntax: concrete syntax for dummy type variables admits genuine
  8835 sort constraint specifications in type inference; e.g. "x::_::foo"
  8836 ensures that the type of "x" is of sort "foo" (but not necessarily a
  8837 type variable);
  8838 
  8839 * Pure/syntax: print modes "type_brackets" and "no_type_brackets"
  8840 control output of nested => (types); the default behavior is
  8841 "type_brackets";
  8842 
  8843 * Pure/syntax: builtin parse translation for "_constify" turns valued
  8844 tokens into AST constants;
  8845 
  8846 * Pure/syntax: prefer later declarations of translations and print
  8847 translation functions; potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to reverse
  8848 multiple declarations for same syntax element constant;
  8849 
  8850 * Pure/show_hyps reset by default (in accordance to existing Isar
  8851 practice);
  8852 
  8853 * Provers/classical: renamed addaltern to addafter, addSaltern to
  8854 addSafter;
  8855 
  8856 * Provers/clasimp: ``iff'' declarations now handle conditional rules
  8857 as well;
  8858 
  8859 * system: tested support for MacOS X; should be able to get Isabelle +
  8860 Proof General to work in a plain Terminal after installing Poly/ML
  8861 (e.g. from the Isabelle distribution area) and GNU bash alone
  8862 (e.g. from http://www.apple.com); full X11, XEmacs and X-Symbol
  8863 support requires further installations, e.g. from
  8864 http://fink.sourceforge.net/);
  8865 
  8866 * system: support Poly/ML 4.1.1 (able to manage larger heaps);
  8867 
  8868 * system: reduced base memory usage by Poly/ML (approx. 20 MB instead
  8869 of 40 MB), cf. ML_OPTIONS;
  8870 
  8871 * system: Proof General keywords specification is now part of the
  8872 Isabelle distribution (see etc/isar-keywords.el);
  8873 
  8874 * system: support for persistent Proof General sessions (refrain from
  8875 outdating all loaded theories on startup); user may create writable
  8876 logic images like this: ``isabelle -q HOL Test'';
  8877 
  8878 * system: smart selection of Isabelle process versus Isabelle
  8879 interface, accommodates case-insensitive file systems (e.g. HFS+); may
  8880 run both "isabelle" and "Isabelle" even if file names are badly
  8881 damaged (executable inspects the case of the first letter of its own
  8882 name); added separate "isabelle-process" and "isabelle-interface";
  8883 
  8884 * system: refrain from any attempt at filtering input streams; no
  8885 longer support ``8bit'' encoding of old isabelle font, instead proper
  8886 iso-latin characters may now be used; the related isatools
  8887 "symbolinput" and "nonascii" have disappeared as well;
  8888 
  8889 * system: removed old "xterm" interface (the print modes "xterm" and
  8890 "xterm_color" are still available for direct use in a suitable
  8891 terminal);
  8892 
  8893 
  8894 
  8895 New in Isabelle99-2 (February 2001)
  8896 -----------------------------------
  8897 
  8898 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  8899 
  8900 * HOL: please note that theories in the Library and elsewhere often use the
  8901 new-style (Isar) format; to refer to their theorems in an ML script you must
  8902 bind them to ML identifers by e.g.      val thm_name = thm "thm_name";
  8903 
  8904 * HOL: inductive package no longer splits induction rule aggressively,
  8905 but only as far as specified by the introductions given; the old
  8906 format may be recovered via ML function complete_split_rule or attribute
  8907 'split_rule (complete)';
  8908 
  8909 * HOL: induct renamed to lfp_induct, lfp_Tarski to lfp_unfold,
  8910 gfp_Tarski to gfp_unfold;
  8911 
  8912 * HOL: contrapos, contrapos2 renamed to contrapos_nn, contrapos_pp;
  8913 
  8914 * HOL: infix "dvd" now has priority 50 rather than 70 (because it is a
  8915 relation); infix "^^" has been renamed "``"; infix "``" has been
  8916 renamed "`"; "univalent" has been renamed "single_valued";
  8917 
  8918 * HOL/Real: "rinv" and "hrinv" replaced by overloaded "inverse"
  8919 operation;
  8920 
  8921 * HOLCF: infix "`" has been renamed "$"; the symbol syntax is \<cdot>;
  8922 
  8923 * Isar: 'obtain' no longer declares "that" fact as simp/intro;
  8924 
  8925 * Isar/HOL: method 'induct' now handles non-atomic goals; as a
  8926 consequence, it is no longer monotonic wrt. the local goal context
  8927 (which is now passed through the inductive cases);
  8928 
  8929 * Document preparation: renamed standard symbols \<ll> to \<lless> and
  8930 \<gg> to \<ggreater>;
  8931 
  8932 
  8933 *** Document preparation ***
  8934 
  8935 * \isabellestyle{NAME} selects version of Isabelle output (currently
  8936 available: are "it" for near math-mode best-style output, "sl" for
  8937 slanted text style, and "tt" for plain type-writer; if no
  8938 \isabellestyle command is given, output is according to slanted
  8939 type-writer);
  8940 
  8941 * support sub/super scripts (for single symbols only), input syntax is
  8942 like this: "A\<^sup>*" or "A\<^sup>\<star>";
  8943 
  8944 * some more standard symbols; see Appendix A of the system manual for
  8945 the complete list of symbols defined in isabellesym.sty;
  8946 
  8947 * improved isabelle style files; more abstract symbol implementation
  8948 (should now use \isamath{...} and \isatext{...} in custom symbol
  8949 definitions);
  8950 
  8951 * antiquotation @{goals} and @{subgoals} for output of *dynamic* goals
  8952 state; Note that presentation of goal states does not conform to
  8953 actual human-readable proof documents.  Please do not include goal
  8954 states into document output unless you really know what you are doing!
  8955 
  8956 * proper indentation of antiquoted output with proportional LaTeX
  8957 fonts;
  8958 
  8959 * no_document ML operator temporarily disables LaTeX document
  8960 generation;
  8961 
  8962 * isatool unsymbolize tunes sources for plain ASCII communication;
  8963 
  8964 
  8965 *** Isar ***
  8966 
  8967 * Pure: Isar now suffers initial goal statements to contain unbound
  8968 schematic variables (this does not conform to actual readable proof
  8969 documents, due to unpredictable outcome and non-compositional proof
  8970 checking); users who know what they are doing may use schematic goals
  8971 for Prolog-style synthesis of proven results;
  8972 
  8973 * Pure: assumption method (an implicit finishing) now handles actual
  8974 rules as well;
  8975 
  8976 * Pure: improved 'obtain' --- moved to Pure, insert "that" into
  8977 initial goal, declare "that" only as Pure intro (only for single
  8978 steps); the "that" rule assumption may now be involved in implicit
  8979 finishing, thus ".." becomes a feasible for trivial obtains;
  8980 
  8981 * Pure: default proof step now includes 'intro_classes'; thus trivial
  8982 instance proofs may be performed by "..";
  8983 
  8984 * Pure: ?thesis / ?this / "..." now work for pure meta-level
  8985 statements as well;
  8986 
  8987 * Pure: more robust selection of calculational rules;
  8988 
  8989 * Pure: the builtin notion of 'finished' goal now includes the ==-refl
  8990 rule (as well as the assumption rule);
  8991 
  8992 * Pure: 'thm_deps' command visualizes dependencies of theorems and
  8993 lemmas, using the graph browser tool;
  8994 
  8995 * Pure: predict failure of "show" in interactive mode;
  8996 
  8997 * Pure: 'thms_containing' now takes actual terms as arguments;
  8998 
  8999 * HOL: improved method 'induct' --- now handles non-atomic goals
  9000 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY); tuned error handling;
  9001 
  9002 * HOL: cases and induct rules now provide explicit hints about the
  9003 number of facts to be consumed (0 for "type" and 1 for "set" rules);
  9004 any remaining facts are inserted into the goal verbatim;
  9005 
  9006 * HOL: local contexts (aka cases) may now contain term bindings as
  9007 well; the 'cases' and 'induct' methods new provide a ?case binding for
  9008 the result to be shown in each case;
  9009 
  9010 * HOL: added 'recdef_tc' command;
  9011 
  9012 * isatool convert assists in eliminating legacy ML scripts;
  9013 
  9014 
  9015 *** HOL ***
  9016 
  9017 * HOL/Library: a collection of generic theories to be used together
  9018 with main HOL; the theory loader path already includes this directory
  9019 by default; the following existing theories have been moved here:
  9020 HOL/Induct/Multiset, HOL/Induct/Acc (as Accessible_Part), HOL/While
  9021 (as While_Combinator), HOL/Lex/Prefix (as List_Prefix);
  9022 
  9023 * HOL/Unix: "Some aspects of Unix file-system security", a typical
  9024 modelling and verification task performed in Isabelle/HOL +
  9025 Isabelle/Isar + Isabelle document preparation (by Markus Wenzel).
  9026 
  9027 * HOL/Algebra: special summation operator SUM no longer exists, it has
  9028 been replaced by setsum; infix 'assoc' now has priority 50 (like
  9029 'dvd'); axiom 'one_not_zero' has been moved from axclass 'ring' to
  9030 'domain', this makes the theory consistent with mathematical
  9031 literature;
  9032 
  9033 * HOL basics: added overloaded operations "inverse" and "divide"
  9034 (infix "/"), syntax for generic "abs" operation, generic summation
  9035 operator \<Sum>;
  9036 
  9037 * HOL/typedef: simplified package, provide more useful rules (see also
  9038 HOL/subset.thy);
  9039 
  9040 * HOL/datatype: induction rule for arbitrarily branching datatypes is
  9041 now expressed as a proper nested rule (old-style tactic scripts may
  9042 require atomize_strip_tac to cope with non-atomic premises);
  9043 
  9044 * HOL: renamed theory "Prod" to "Product_Type", renamed "split" rule
  9045 to "split_conv" (old name still available for compatibility);
  9046 
  9047 * HOL: improved concrete syntax for strings (e.g. allows translation
  9048 rules with string literals);
  9049 
  9050 * HOL-Real-Hyperreal: this extends HOL-Real with the hyperreals
  9051  and Fleuriot's mechanization of analysis, including the transcendental
  9052  functions for the reals;
  9053 
  9054 * HOL/Real, HOL/Hyperreal: improved arithmetic simplification;
  9055 
  9056 
  9057 *** CTT ***
  9058 
  9059 * CTT: x-symbol support for Pi, Sigma, -->, : (membership); note that
  9060 "lam" is displayed as TWO lambda-symbols
  9061 
  9062 * CTT: theory Main now available, containing everything (that is, Bool
  9063 and Arith);
  9064 
  9065 
  9066 *** General ***
  9067 
  9068 * Pure: the Simplifier has been implemented properly as a derived rule
  9069 outside of the actual kernel (at last!); the overall performance
  9070 penalty in practical applications is about 50%, while reliability of
  9071 the Isabelle inference kernel has been greatly improved;
  9072 
  9073 * print modes "brackets" and "no_brackets" control output of nested =>
  9074 (types) and ==> (props); the default behaviour is "brackets";
  9075 
  9076 * Provers: fast_tac (and friends) now handle actual object-logic rules
  9077 as assumptions as well;
  9078 
  9079 * system: support Poly/ML 4.0;
  9080 
  9081 * system: isatool install handles KDE version 1 or 2;
  9082 
  9083 
  9084 
  9085 New in Isabelle99-1 (October 2000)
  9086 ----------------------------------
  9087 
  9088 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  9089 
  9090 * HOL: simplification of natural numbers is much changed; to partly
  9091 recover the old behaviour (e.g. to prevent n+n rewriting to #2*n)
  9092 issue the following ML commands:
  9093 
  9094   Delsimprocs Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.cancel_numerals;
  9095   Delsimprocs [Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.combine_numerals];
  9096 
  9097 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions; this is
  9098 controlled by "t.weak_case_cong" for each datatype t;
  9099 
  9100 * HOL: nat_less_induct renamed to less_induct;
  9101 
  9102 * HOL: systematic renaming of the SOME (Eps) rules, may use isatool
  9103 fixsome to patch .thy and .ML sources automatically;
  9104 
  9105   select_equality  -> some_equality
  9106   select_eq_Ex     -> some_eq_ex
  9107   selectI2EX       -> someI2_ex
  9108   selectI2         -> someI2
  9109   selectI          -> someI
  9110   select1_equality -> some1_equality
  9111   Eps_sym_eq       -> some_sym_eq_trivial
  9112   Eps_eq           -> some_eq_trivial
  9113 
  9114 * HOL: exhaust_tac on datatypes superceded by new generic case_tac;
  9115 
  9116 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem binding expand_if (refer to split_if
  9117 instead);
  9118 
  9119 * HOL: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' are now called
  9120 f.simps instead of f.rules;
  9121 
  9122 * HOL: qed_spec_mp now also handles bounded ALL as well;
  9123 
  9124 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded, so the type constraint ":: nat" may
  9125 sometimes be needed;
  9126 
  9127 * HOL: the constant for "f``x" is now "image" rather than "op ``";
  9128 
  9129 * HOL: the constant for "f-``x" is now "vimage" rather than "op -``";
  9130 
  9131 * HOL: the disjoint sum is now "<+>" instead of "Plus"; the cartesian
  9132 product is now "<*>" instead of "Times"; the lexicographic product is
  9133 now "<*lex*>" instead of "**";
  9134 
  9135 * HOL: theory Sexp is now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part
  9136 of main HOL, but was unused); better use HOL's datatype package;
  9137 
  9138 * HOL: removed "symbols" syntax for constant "override" of theory Map;
  9139 the old syntax may be recovered as follows:
  9140 
  9141   syntax (symbols)
  9142     override  :: "('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b)"
  9143       (infixl "\\<oplus>" 100)
  9144 
  9145 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
  9146 
  9147 * HOL/ML: even fewer consts are declared as global (see theories Ord,
  9148 Lfp, Gfp, WF); this only affects ML packages that refer to const names
  9149 internally;
  9150 
  9151 * HOL and ZF: syntax for quotienting wrt an equivalence relation
  9152 changed from A/r to A//r;
  9153 
  9154 * ZF: new treatment of arithmetic (nat & int) may break some old
  9155 proofs;
  9156 
  9157 * Isar: renamed some attributes (RS -> THEN, simplify -> simplified,
  9158 rulify -> rule_format, elimify -> elim_format, ...);
  9159 
  9160 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
  9161 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (in most cases, one
  9162 should have to change intro!! to intro? only); replaced "delrule" by
  9163 "rule del";
  9164 
  9165 * Isar/HOL: renamed "intrs" to "intros" in inductive definitions;
  9166 
  9167 * Provers: strengthened force_tac by using new first_best_tac;
  9168 
  9169 * LaTeX document preparation: several changes of isabelle.sty (see
  9170 lib/texinputs);
  9171 
  9172 
  9173 *** Document preparation ***
  9174 
  9175 * formal comments (text blocks etc.) in new-style theories may now
  9176 contain antiquotations of thm/prop/term/typ/text to be presented
  9177 according to latex print mode; concrete syntax is like this:
  9178 @{term[show_types] "f(x) = a + x"};
  9179 
  9180 * isatool mkdir provides easy setup of Isabelle session directories,
  9181 including proper document sources;
  9182 
  9183 * generated LaTeX sources are now deleted after successful run
  9184 (isatool document -c); may retain a copy somewhere else via -D option
  9185 of isatool usedir;
  9186 
  9187 * isatool usedir -D now lets isatool latex -o sty update the Isabelle
  9188 style files, achieving self-contained LaTeX sources and simplifying
  9189 LaTeX debugging;
  9190 
  9191 * old-style theories now produce (crude) LaTeX output as well;
  9192 
  9193 * browser info session directories are now self-contained (may be put
  9194 on WWW server seperately); improved graphs of nested sessions; removed
  9195 graph for 'all sessions';
  9196 
  9197 * several improvements in isabelle style files; \isabellestyle{it}
  9198 produces fake math mode output; \isamarkupheader is now \section by
  9199 default; see lib/texinputs/isabelle.sty etc.;
  9200 
  9201 
  9202 *** Isar ***
  9203 
  9204 * Isar/Pure: local results and corresponding term bindings are now
  9205 subject to Hindley-Milner polymorphism (similar to ML); this
  9206 accommodates incremental type-inference very nicely;
  9207 
  9208 * Isar/Pure: new derived language element 'obtain' supports
  9209 generalized existence reasoning;
  9210 
  9211 * Isar/Pure: new calculational elements 'moreover' and 'ultimately'
  9212 support accumulation of results, without applying any rules yet;
  9213 useful to collect intermediate results without explicit name
  9214 references, and for use with transitivity rules with more than 2
  9215 premises;
  9216 
  9217 * Isar/Pure: scalable support for case-analysis type proofs: new
  9218 'case' language element refers to local contexts symbolically, as
  9219 produced by certain proof methods; internally, case names are attached
  9220 to theorems as "tags";
  9221 
  9222 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'hide' removes declarations from
  9223 class/type/const name spaces;
  9224 
  9225 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'defs' supports option "(overloaded)" to
  9226 indicate potential overloading;
  9227 
  9228 * Isar/Pure: changed syntax of local blocks from {{ }} to { };
  9229 
  9230 * Isar/Pure: syntax of sorts made 'inner', i.e. have to write
  9231 "{a,b,c}" instead of {a,b,c};
  9232 
  9233 * Isar/Pure now provides its own version of intro/elim/dest
  9234 attributes; useful for building new logics, but beware of confusion
  9235 with the version in Provers/classical;
  9236 
  9237 * Isar/Pure: the local context of (non-atomic) goals is provided via
  9238 case name 'antecedent';
  9239 
  9240 * Isar/Pure: removed obsolete 'transfer' attribute (transfer of thms
  9241 to the current context is now done automatically);
  9242 
  9243 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'method_setup' provides a simple interface
  9244 for definining proof methods in ML;
  9245 
  9246 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
  9247 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  9248 most cases, one should have to change intro!! to intro? only);
  9249 replaced "delrule" by "rule del";
  9250 
  9251 * Isar/Provers: new 'hypsubst' method, plain 'subst' method and
  9252 'symmetric' attribute (the latter supercedes [RS sym]);
  9253 
  9254 * Isar/Provers: splitter support (via 'split' attribute and 'simp'
  9255 method modifier); 'simp' method: 'only:' modifier removes loopers as
  9256 well (including splits);
  9257 
  9258 * Isar/Provers: Simplifier and Classical methods now support all kind
  9259 of modifiers used in the past, including 'cong', 'iff', etc.
  9260 
  9261 * Isar/Provers: added 'fastsimp' and 'clarsimp' methods (combination
  9262 of Simplifier and Classical reasoner);
  9263 
  9264 * Isar/HOL: new proof method 'cases' and improved version of 'induct'
  9265 now support named cases; major packages (inductive, datatype, primrec,
  9266 recdef) support case names and properly name parameters;
  9267 
  9268 * Isar/HOL: new transitivity rules for substitution in inequalities --
  9269 monotonicity conditions are extracted to be proven at end of
  9270 calculations;
  9271 
  9272 * Isar/HOL: removed 'case_split' thm binding, should use 'cases' proof
  9273 method anyway;
  9274 
  9275 * Isar/HOL: removed old expand_if = split_if; theorems if_splits =
  9276 split_if split_if_asm; datatype package provides theorems foo.splits =
  9277 foo.split foo.split_asm for each datatype;
  9278 
  9279 * Isar/HOL: tuned inductive package, rename "intrs" to "intros"
  9280 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY), emulation of mk_cases feature for proof
  9281 scripts: new 'inductive_cases' command and 'ind_cases' method; (Note:
  9282 use "(cases (simplified))" method in proper proof texts);
  9283 
  9284 * Isar/HOL: added global 'arith_split' attribute for 'arith' method;
  9285 
  9286 * Isar: names of theorems etc. may be natural numbers as well;
  9287 
  9288 * Isar: 'pr' command: optional arguments for goals_limit and
  9289 ProofContext.prems_limit; no longer prints theory contexts, but only
  9290 proof states;
  9291 
  9292 * Isar: diagnostic commands 'pr', 'thm', 'prop', 'term', 'typ' admit
  9293 additional print modes to be specified; e.g. "pr(latex)" will print
  9294 proof state according to the Isabelle LaTeX style;
  9295 
  9296 * Isar: improved support for emulating tactic scripts, including proof
  9297 methods 'rule_tac' etc., 'cut_tac', 'thin_tac', 'subgoal_tac',
  9298 'rename_tac', 'rotate_tac', 'tactic', and 'case_tac' / 'induct_tac'
  9299 (for HOL datatypes);
  9300 
  9301 * Isar: simplified (more robust) goal selection of proof methods: 1st
  9302 goal, all goals, or explicit goal specifier (tactic emulation); thus
  9303 'proof method scripts' have to be in depth-first order;
  9304 
  9305 * Isar: tuned 'let' syntax: replaced 'as' keyword by 'and';
  9306 
  9307 * Isar: removed 'help' command, which hasn't been too helpful anyway;
  9308 should instead use individual commands for printing items
  9309 (print_commands, print_methods etc.);
  9310 
  9311 * Isar: added 'nothing' --- the empty list of theorems;
  9312 
  9313 
  9314 *** HOL ***
  9315 
  9316 * HOL/MicroJava: formalization of a fragment of Java, together with a
  9317 corresponding virtual machine and a specification of its bytecode
  9318 verifier and a lightweight bytecode verifier, including proofs of
  9319 type-safety; by Gerwin Klein, Tobias Nipkow, David von Oheimb, and
  9320 Cornelia Pusch (see also the homepage of project Bali at
  9321 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Bali/);
  9322 
  9323 * HOL/Algebra: new theory of rings and univariate polynomials, by
  9324 Clemens Ballarin;
  9325 
  9326 * HOL/NumberTheory: fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, Chinese
  9327 Remainder Theorem, Fermat/Euler Theorem, Wilson's Theorem, by Thomas M
  9328 Rasmussen;
  9329 
  9330 * HOL/Lattice: fundamental concepts of lattice theory and order
  9331 structures, including duals, properties of bounds versus algebraic
  9332 laws, lattice operations versus set-theoretic ones, the Knaster-Tarski
  9333 Theorem for complete lattices etc.; may also serve as a demonstration
  9334 for abstract algebraic reasoning using axiomatic type classes, and
  9335 mathematics-style proof in Isabelle/Isar; by Markus Wenzel;
  9336 
  9337 * HOL/Prolog: a (bare-bones) implementation of Lambda-Prolog, by David
  9338 von Oheimb;
  9339 
  9340 * HOL/IMPP: extension of IMP with local variables and mutually
  9341 recursive procedures, by David von Oheimb;
  9342 
  9343 * HOL/Lambda: converted into new-style theory and document;
  9344 
  9345 * HOL/ex/Multiquote: example of multiple nested quotations and
  9346 anti-quotations -- basically a generalized version of de-Bruijn
  9347 representation; very useful in avoiding lifting of operations;
  9348 
  9349 * HOL/record: added general record equality rule to simpset; fixed
  9350 select-update simplification procedure to handle extended records as
  9351 well; admit "r" as field name;
  9352 
  9353 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded over the new sort "zero", allowing its use with
  9354 other numeric types and also as the identity of groups, rings, etc.;
  9355 
  9356 * HOL: new axclass plus_ac0 for addition with the AC-laws and 0 as identity.
  9357 Types nat and int belong to this axclass;
  9358 
  9359 * HOL: greatly improved simplification involving numerals of type nat, int, real:
  9360    (i + #8 + j) = Suc k simplifies to  #7 + (i + j) = k
  9361    i*j + k + j*#3*i     simplifies to  #4*(i*j) + k
  9362   two terms #m*u and #n*u are replaced by #(m+n)*u
  9363     (where #m, #n and u can implicitly be 1; this is simproc combine_numerals)
  9364   and the term/formula #m*u+x ~~ #n*u+y simplifies simplifies to #(m-n)+x ~~ y
  9365     or x ~~ #(n-m)+y, where ~~ is one of = < <= or - (simproc cancel_numerals);
  9366 
  9367 * HOL: meson_tac is available (previously in ex/meson.ML); it is a
  9368 powerful prover for predicate logic but knows nothing of clasets; see
  9369 ex/mesontest.ML and ex/mesontest2.ML for example applications;
  9370 
  9371 * HOL: new version of "case_tac" subsumes both boolean case split and
  9372 "exhaust_tac" on datatypes; INCOMPATIBILITY: exhaust_tac no longer
  9373 exists, may define val exhaust_tac = case_tac for ad-hoc portability;
  9374 
  9375 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions: only the
  9376 selector expression is simplified, but not the remaining arms; to
  9377 enable full simplification of case-expressions for datatype t, you may
  9378 remove t.weak_case_cong from the simpset, either globally (Delcongs
  9379 [thm"t.weak_case_cong"];) or locally (delcongs [...]).
  9380 
  9381 * HOL/recdef: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' for
  9382 function 'f' are now called f.simps instead of f.rules; if all
  9383 termination conditions are proved automatically, these simplification
  9384 rules are added to the simpset, as in primrec; rules may be named
  9385 individually as well, resulting in a separate list of theorems for
  9386 each equation;
  9387 
  9388 * HOL/While is a new theory that provides a while-combinator. It
  9389 permits the definition of tail-recursive functions without the
  9390 provision of a termination measure. The latter is necessary once the
  9391 invariant proof rule for while is applied.
  9392 
  9393 * HOL: new (overloaded) notation for the set of elements below/above
  9394 some element: {..u}, {..u(}, {l..}, {)l..}. See theory SetInterval.
  9395 
  9396 * HOL: theorems impI, allI, ballI bound as "strip";
  9397 
  9398 * HOL: new tactic induct_thm_tac: thm -> string -> int -> tactic
  9399 induct_tac th "x1 ... xn" expects th to have a conclusion of the form
  9400 P v1 ... vn and abbreviates res_inst_tac [("v1","x1"),...,("vn","xn")] th;
  9401 
  9402 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
  9403 
  9404 * HOL: theory Sexp now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part of
  9405 main HOL, but was unused);
  9406 
  9407 * HOL: fewer consts declared as global (e.g. have to refer to
  9408 "Lfp.lfp" instead of "lfp" internally; affects ML packages only);
  9409 
  9410 * HOL: tuned AST representation of nested pairs, avoiding bogus output
  9411 in case of overlap with user translations (e.g. judgements over
  9412 tuples); (note that the underlying logical represenation is still
  9413 bogus);
  9414 
  9415 
  9416 *** ZF ***
  9417 
  9418 * ZF: simplification automatically cancels common terms in arithmetic
  9419 expressions over nat and int;
  9420 
  9421 * ZF: new treatment of nat to minimize type-checking: all operators
  9422 coerce their operands to a natural number using the function natify,
  9423 making the algebraic laws unconditional;
  9424 
  9425 * ZF: as above, for int: operators coerce their operands to an integer
  9426 using the function intify;
  9427 
  9428 * ZF: the integer library now contains many of the usual laws for the
  9429 orderings, including $<=, and monotonicity laws for $+ and $*;
  9430 
  9431 * ZF: new example ZF/ex/NatSum to demonstrate integer arithmetic
  9432 simplification;
  9433 
  9434 * FOL and ZF: AddIffs now available, giving theorems of the form P<->Q
  9435 to the simplifier and classical reasoner simultaneously;
  9436 
  9437 
  9438 *** General ***
  9439 
  9440 * Provers: blast_tac now handles actual object-logic rules as
  9441 assumptions; note that auto_tac uses blast_tac internally as well;
  9442 
  9443 * Provers: new functions rulify/rulify_no_asm: thm -> thm for turning
  9444 outer -->/All/Ball into ==>/!!; qed_spec_mp now uses rulify_no_asm;
  9445 
  9446 * Provers: delrules now handles destruct rules as well (no longer need
  9447 explicit make_elim);
  9448 
  9449 * Provers: Blast_tac now warns of and ignores "weak elimination rules" e.g.
  9450   [| inj ?f;          ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
  9451 use instead the strong form,
  9452   [| inj ?f; ~ ?W ==> ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
  9453 in HOL, FOL and ZF the function cla_make_elim will create such rules
  9454 from destruct-rules;
  9455 
  9456 * Provers: Simplifier.easy_setup provides a fast path to basic
  9457 Simplifier setup for new object-logics;
  9458 
  9459 * Pure: AST translation rules no longer require constant head on LHS;
  9460 
  9461 * Pure: improved name spaces: ambiguous output is qualified; support
  9462 for hiding of names;
  9463 
  9464 * system: smart setup of canonical ML_HOME, ISABELLE_INTERFACE, and
  9465 XSYMBOL_HOME; no longer need to do manual configuration in most
  9466 situations;
  9467 
  9468 * system: compression of ML heaps images may now be controlled via -c
  9469 option of isabelle and isatool usedir (currently only observed by
  9470 Poly/ML);
  9471 
  9472 * system: isatool installfonts may handle X-Symbol fonts as well (very
  9473 useful for remote X11);
  9474 
  9475 * system: provide TAGS file for Isabelle sources;
  9476 
  9477 * ML: infix 'OF' is a version of 'MRS' with more appropriate argument
  9478 order;
  9479 
  9480 * ML: renamed flags Syntax.trace_norm_ast to Syntax.trace_ast; global
  9481 timing flag supersedes proof_timing and Toplevel.trace;
  9482 
  9483 * ML: new combinators |>> and |>>> for incremental transformations
  9484 with secondary results (e.g. certain theory extensions):
  9485 
  9486 * ML: PureThy.add_defs gets additional argument to indicate potential
  9487 overloading (usually false);
  9488 
  9489 * ML: PureThy.add_thms/add_axioms/add_defs now return theorems as
  9490 results;
  9491 
  9492 
  9493 
  9494 New in Isabelle99 (October 1999)
  9495 --------------------------------
  9496 
  9497 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  9498 
  9499 * HOL: The THEN and ELSE parts of conditional expressions (if P then x else y)
  9500 are no longer simplified.  (This allows the simplifier to unfold recursive
  9501 functional programs.)  To restore the old behaviour, declare
  9502 
  9503     Delcongs [if_weak_cong];
  9504 
  9505 * HOL: Removed the obsolete syntax "Compl A"; use -A for set
  9506 complement;
  9507 
  9508 * HOL: the predicate "inj" is now defined by translation to "inj_on";
  9509 
  9510 * HOL/datatype: mutual_induct_tac no longer exists --
  9511   use induct_tac "x_1 ... x_n" instead of mutual_induct_tac ["x_1", ..., "x_n"]
  9512 
  9513 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
  9514 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
  9515 
  9516 * ZF: The con_defs part of an inductive definition may no longer refer
  9517 to constants declared in the same theory;
  9518 
  9519 * HOL, ZF: the function mk_cases, generated by the inductive
  9520 definition package, has lost an argument.  To simplify its result, it
  9521 uses the default simpset instead of a supplied list of theorems.
  9522 
  9523 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
  9524 
  9525 * Simplifier: the type of the infix ML functions
  9526         setSSolver addSSolver setSolver addSolver
  9527 is now  simpset * solver -> simpset  where `solver' is a new abstract type
  9528 for packaging solvers. A solver is created via
  9529         mk_solver: string -> (thm list -> int -> tactic) -> solver
  9530 where the string argument is only a comment.
  9531 
  9532 
  9533 *** Proof tools ***
  9534 
  9535 * Provers/Arith/fast_lin_arith.ML contains a functor for creating a
  9536 decision procedure for linear arithmetic. Currently it is used for
  9537 types `nat', `int', and `real' in HOL (see below); it can, should and
  9538 will be instantiated for other types and logics as well.
  9539 
  9540 * The simplifier now accepts rewrite rules with flexible heads, eg
  9541      hom ?f ==> ?f(?x+?y) = ?f ?x + ?f ?y
  9542   They are applied like any rule with a non-pattern lhs, i.e. by first-order
  9543   matching.
  9544 
  9545 
  9546 *** General ***
  9547 
  9548 * New Isabelle/Isar subsystem provides an alternative to traditional
  9549 tactical theorem proving; together with the ProofGeneral/isar user
  9550 interface it offers an interactive environment for developing human
  9551 readable proof documents (Isar == Intelligible semi-automated
  9552 reasoning); for further information see isatool doc isar-ref,
  9553 src/HOL/Isar_examples and http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Isar/
  9554 
  9555 * improved and simplified presentation of theories: better HTML markup
  9556 (including colors), graph views in several sizes; isatool usedir now
  9557 provides a proper interface for user theories (via -P option); actual
  9558 document preparation based on (PDF)LaTeX is available as well (for
  9559 new-style theories only); see isatool doc system for more information;
  9560 
  9561 * native support for Proof General, both for classic Isabelle and
  9562 Isabelle/Isar;
  9563 
  9564 * ML function thm_deps visualizes dependencies of theorems and lemmas,
  9565 using the graph browser tool;
  9566 
  9567 * Isabelle manuals now also available as PDF;
  9568 
  9569 * theory loader rewritten from scratch (may not be fully
  9570 bug-compatible); old loadpath variable has been replaced by show_path,
  9571 add_path, del_path, reset_path functions; new operations such as
  9572 update_thy, touch_thy, remove_thy, use/update_thy_only (see also
  9573 isatool doc ref);
  9574 
  9575 * improved isatool install: option -k creates KDE application icon,
  9576 option -p DIR installs standalone binaries;
  9577 
  9578 * added ML_PLATFORM setting (useful for cross-platform installations);
  9579 more robust handling of platform specific ML images for SML/NJ;
  9580 
  9581 * the settings environment is now statically scoped, i.e. it is never
  9582 created again in sub-processes invoked from isabelle, isatool, or
  9583 Isabelle;
  9584 
  9585 * path element specification '~~' refers to '$ISABELLE_HOME';
  9586 
  9587 * in locales, the "assumes" and "defines" parts may be omitted if
  9588 empty;
  9589 
  9590 * new print_mode "xsymbols" for extended symbol support (e.g. genuine
  9591 long arrows);
  9592 
  9593 * new print_mode "HTML";
  9594 
  9595 * new flag show_tags controls display of tags of theorems (which are
  9596 basically just comments that may be attached by some tools);
  9597 
  9598 * Isamode 2.6 requires patch to accomodate change of Isabelle font
  9599 mode and goal output format:
  9600 
  9601 diff -r Isamode-2.6/elisp/isa-load.el Isamode/elisp/isa-load.el
  9602 244c244
  9603 <       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-msymbols" logic-name)
  9604 ---
  9605 >       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-misabelle_font" "-msymbols" logic-name)
  9606 diff -r Isabelle-2.6/elisp/isa-proofstate.el Isamode/elisp/isa-proofstate.el
  9607 181c181
  9608 < (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+$"
  9609 ---
  9610 > (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+"
  9611 
  9612 * function bind_thms stores lists of theorems (cf. bind_thm);
  9613 
  9614 * new shorthand tactics ftac, eatac, datac, fatac;
  9615 
  9616 * qed (and friends) now accept "" as result name; in that case the
  9617 theorem is not stored, but proper checks and presentation of the
  9618 result still apply;
  9619 
  9620 * theorem database now also indexes constants "Trueprop", "all",
  9621 "==>", "=="; thus thms_containing, findI etc. may retrieve more rules;
  9622 
  9623 
  9624 *** HOL ***
  9625 
  9626 ** HOL arithmetic **
  9627 
  9628 * There are now decision procedures for linear arithmetic over nat and
  9629 int:
  9630 
  9631 1. arith_tac copes with arbitrary formulae involving `=', `<', `<=',
  9632 `+', `-', `Suc', `min', `max' and numerical constants; other subterms
  9633 are treated as atomic; subformulae not involving type `nat' or `int'
  9634 are ignored; quantified subformulae are ignored unless they are
  9635 positive universal or negative existential. The tactic has to be
  9636 invoked by hand and can be a little bit slow. In particular, the
  9637 running time is exponential in the number of occurrences of `min' and
  9638 `max', and `-' on `nat'.
  9639 
  9640 2. fast_arith_tac is a cut-down version of arith_tac: it only takes
  9641 (negated) (in)equalities among the premises and the conclusion into
  9642 account (i.e. no compound formulae) and does not know about `min' and
  9643 `max', and `-' on `nat'. It is fast and is used automatically by the
  9644 simplifier.
  9645 
  9646 NB: At the moment, these decision procedures do not cope with mixed
  9647 nat/int formulae where the two parts interact, such as `m < n ==>
  9648 int(m) < int(n)'.
  9649 
  9650 * HOL/Numeral provides a generic theory of numerals (encoded
  9651 efficiently as bit strings); setup for types nat/int/real is in place;
  9652 INCOMPATIBILITY: since numeral syntax is now polymorphic, rather than
  9653 int, existing theories and proof scripts may require a few additional
  9654 type constraints;
  9655 
  9656 * integer division and remainder can now be performed on constant
  9657 arguments;
  9658 
  9659 * many properties of integer multiplication, division and remainder
  9660 are now available;
  9661 
  9662 * An interface to the Stanford Validity Checker (SVC) is available through the
  9663 tactic svc_tac.  Propositional tautologies and theorems of linear arithmetic
  9664 are proved automatically.  SVC must be installed separately, and its results
  9665 must be TAKEN ON TRUST (Isabelle does not check the proofs, but tags any
  9666 invocation of the underlying oracle).  For SVC see
  9667   http://verify.stanford.edu/SVC
  9668 
  9669 * IsaMakefile: the HOL-Real target now builds an actual image;
  9670 
  9671 
  9672 ** HOL misc **
  9673 
  9674 * HOL/Real/HahnBanach: the Hahn-Banach theorem for real vector spaces
  9675 (in Isabelle/Isar) -- by Gertrud Bauer;
  9676 
  9677 * HOL/BCV: generic model of bytecode verification, i.e. data-flow
  9678 analysis for assembly languages with subtypes;
  9679 
  9680 * HOL/TLA (Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions): major reorganization
  9681 -- avoids syntactic ambiguities and treats state, transition, and
  9682 temporal levels more uniformly; introduces INCOMPATIBILITIES due to
  9683 changed syntax and (many) tactics;
  9684 
  9685 * HOL/inductive: Now also handles more general introduction rules such
  9686   as "ALL y. (y, x) : r --> y : acc r ==> x : acc r"; monotonicity
  9687   theorems are now maintained within the theory (maintained via the
  9688   "mono" attribute);
  9689 
  9690 * HOL/datatype: Now also handles arbitrarily branching datatypes
  9691   (using function types) such as
  9692 
  9693   datatype 'a tree = Atom 'a | Branch "nat => 'a tree"
  9694 
  9695 * HOL/record: record_simproc (part of the default simpset) takes care
  9696 of selectors applied to updated records; record_split_tac is no longer
  9697 part of the default claset; update_defs may now be removed from the
  9698 simpset in many cases; COMPATIBILITY: old behavior achieved by
  9699 
  9700   claset_ref () := claset() addSWrapper record_split_wrapper;
  9701   Delsimprocs [record_simproc]
  9702 
  9703 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
  9704 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
  9705 
  9706 * HOL/recdef (TFL): 'congs' syntax now expects comma separated list of theorem
  9707 names rather than an ML expression;
  9708 
  9709 * HOL/defer_recdef (TFL): like recdef but the well-founded relation can be
  9710 supplied later.  Program schemes can be defined, such as
  9711     "While B C s = (if B s then While B C (C s) else s)"
  9712 where the well-founded relation can be chosen after B and C have been given.
  9713 
  9714 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
  9715 INCOMPATIBILITY: while [] and infix # syntax is still there, of
  9716 course, ML tools referring to List.list.op # etc. have to be adapted;
  9717 
  9718 * HOL_quantifiers flag superseded by "HOL" print mode, which is
  9719 disabled by default; run isabelle with option -m HOL to get back to
  9720 the original Gordon/HOL-style output;
  9721 
  9722 * HOL/Ord.thy: new bounded quantifier syntax (input only): ALL x<y. P,
  9723 ALL x<=y. P, EX x<y. P, EX x<=y. P;
  9724 
  9725 * HOL basic syntax simplified (more orthogonal): all variants of
  9726 All/Ex now support plain / symbolic / HOL notation; plain syntax for
  9727 Eps operator is provided as well: "SOME x. P[x]";
  9728 
  9729 * HOL/Sum.thy: sum_case has been moved to HOL/Datatype;
  9730 
  9731 * HOL/Univ.thy: infix syntax <*>, <+>, <**>, <+> eliminated and made
  9732 thus available for user theories;
  9733 
  9734 * HOLCF/IOA/Sequents: renamed 'Cons' to 'Consq' to avoid clash with
  9735 HOL/List; hardly an INCOMPATIBILITY since '>>' syntax is used all the
  9736 time;
  9737 
  9738 * HOL: new tactic smp_tac: int -> int -> tactic, which applies spec
  9739 several times and then mp;
  9740 
  9741 
  9742 *** LK ***
  9743 
  9744 * the notation <<...>> is now available as a notation for sequences of
  9745 formulas;
  9746 
  9747 * the simplifier is now installed
  9748 
  9749 * the axiom system has been generalized (thanks to Soren Heilmann)
  9750 
  9751 * the classical reasoner now has a default rule database
  9752 
  9753 
  9754 *** ZF ***
  9755 
  9756 * new primrec section allows primitive recursive functions to be given
  9757 directly (as in HOL) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
  9758 
  9759 * new tactics induct_tac and exhaust_tac for induction (or case
  9760 analysis) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
  9761 
  9762 * the datatype declaration of type T now defines the recursor T_rec;
  9763 
  9764 * simplification automatically does freeness reasoning for datatype
  9765 constructors;
  9766 
  9767 * automatic type-inference, with AddTCs command to insert new
  9768 type-checking rules;
  9769 
  9770 * datatype introduction rules are now added as Safe Introduction rules
  9771 to the claset;
  9772 
  9773 * the syntax "if P then x else y" is now available in addition to
  9774 if(P,x,y);
  9775 
  9776 
  9777 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
  9778 
  9779 * tuned simplifier trace output; new flag debug_simp;
  9780 
  9781 * structures Vartab / Termtab (instances of TableFun) offer efficient
  9782 tables indexed by indexname_ord / term_ord (compatible with aconv);
  9783 
  9784 * AxClass.axclass_tac lost the theory argument;
  9785 
  9786 * tuned current_goals_markers semantics: begin / end goal avoids
  9787 printing empty lines;
  9788 
  9789 * removed prs and prs_fn hook, which was broken because it did not
  9790 include \n in its semantics, forcing writeln to add one
  9791 uncoditionally; replaced prs_fn by writeln_fn; consider std_output:
  9792 string -> unit if you really want to output text without newline;
  9793 
  9794 * Symbol.output subject to print mode; INCOMPATIBILITY: defaults to
  9795 plain output, interface builders may have to enable 'isabelle_font'
  9796 mode to get Isabelle font glyphs as before;
  9797 
  9798 * refined token_translation interface; INCOMPATIBILITY: output length
  9799 now of type real instead of int;
  9800 
  9801 * theory loader actions may be traced via new ThyInfo.add_hook
  9802 interface (see src/Pure/Thy/thy_info.ML); example application: keep
  9803 your own database of information attached to *whole* theories -- as
  9804 opposed to intra-theory data slots offered via TheoryDataFun;
  9805 
  9806 * proper handling of dangling sort hypotheses (at last!);
  9807 Thm.strip_shyps and Drule.strip_shyps_warning take care of removing
  9808 extra sort hypotheses that can be witnessed from the type signature;
  9809 the force_strip_shyps flag is gone, any remaining shyps are simply
  9810 left in the theorem (with a warning issued by strip_shyps_warning);
  9811 
  9812 
  9813 
  9814 New in Isabelle98-1 (October 1998)
  9815 ----------------------------------
  9816 
  9817 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  9818 
  9819 * several changes of automated proof tools;
  9820 
  9821 * HOL: major changes to the inductive and datatype packages, including
  9822 some minor incompatibilities of theory syntax;
  9823 
  9824 * HOL: renamed r^-1 to 'converse' from 'inverse'; 'inj_onto' is now
  9825 called `inj_on';
  9826 
  9827 * HOL: removed duplicate thms in Arith:
  9828   less_imp_add_less  should be replaced by  trans_less_add1
  9829   le_imp_add_le      should be replaced by  trans_le_add1
  9830 
  9831 * HOL: unary minus is now overloaded (new type constraints may be
  9832 required);
  9833 
  9834 * HOL and ZF: unary minus for integers is now #- instead of #~.  In
  9835 ZF, expressions such as n#-1 must be changed to n#- 1, since #-1 is
  9836 now taken as an integer constant.
  9837 
  9838 * Pure: ML function 'theory_of' renamed to 'theory';
  9839 
  9840 
  9841 *** Proof tools ***
  9842 
  9843 * Simplifier:
  9844   1. Asm_full_simp_tac is now more aggressive.
  9845      1. It will sometimes reorient premises if that increases their power to
  9846         simplify.
  9847      2. It does no longer proceed strictly from left to right but may also
  9848         rotate premises to achieve further simplification.
  9849      For compatibility reasons there is now Asm_lr_simp_tac which is like the
  9850      old Asm_full_simp_tac in that it does not rotate premises.
  9851   2. The simplifier now knows a little bit about nat-arithmetic.
  9852 
  9853 * Classical reasoner: wrapper mechanism for the classical reasoner now
  9854 allows for selected deletion of wrappers, by introduction of names for
  9855 wrapper functionals.  This implies that addbefore, addSbefore,
  9856 addaltern, and addSaltern now take a pair (name, tactic) as argument,
  9857 and that adding two tactics with the same name overwrites the first
  9858 one (emitting a warning).
  9859   type wrapper = (int -> tactic) -> (int -> tactic)
  9860   setWrapper, setSWrapper, compWrapper and compSWrapper are replaced by
  9861   addWrapper, addSWrapper: claset * (string * wrapper) -> claset
  9862   delWrapper, delSWrapper: claset *  string            -> claset
  9863   getWrapper is renamed to appWrappers, getSWrapper to appSWrappers;
  9864 
  9865 * Classical reasoner: addbefore/addSbefore now have APPEND/ORELSE
  9866 semantics; addbefore now affects only the unsafe part of step_tac
  9867 etc.; this affects addss/auto_tac/force_tac, so EXISTING PROOFS MAY
  9868 FAIL, but proofs should be fixable easily, e.g. by replacing Auto_tac
  9869 by Force_tac;
  9870 
  9871 * Classical reasoner: setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to
  9872 compWrapper; added safe wrapper (and access functions for it);
  9873 
  9874 * HOL/split_all_tac is now much faster and fails if there is nothing
  9875 to split.  Some EXISTING PROOFS MAY REQUIRE ADAPTION because the order
  9876 and the names of the automatically generated variables have changed.
  9877 split_all_tac has moved within claset() from unsafe wrappers to safe
  9878 wrappers, which means that !!-bound variables are split much more
  9879 aggressively, and safe_tac and clarify_tac now split such variables.
  9880 If this splitting is not appropriate, use delSWrapper "split_all_tac".
  9881 Note: the same holds for record_split_tac, which does the job of
  9882 split_all_tac for record fields.
  9883 
  9884 * HOL/Simplifier: Rewrite rules for case distinctions can now be added
  9885 permanently to the default simpset using Addsplits just like
  9886 Addsimps. They can be removed via Delsplits just like
  9887 Delsimps. Lower-case versions are also available.
  9888 
  9889 * HOL/Simplifier: The rule split_if is now part of the default
  9890 simpset. This means that the simplifier will eliminate all occurrences
  9891 of if-then-else in the conclusion of a goal. To prevent this, you can
  9892 either remove split_if completely from the default simpset by
  9893 `Delsplits [split_if]' or remove it in a specific call of the
  9894 simplifier using `... delsplits [split_if]'.  You can also add/delete
  9895 other case splitting rules to/from the default simpset: every datatype
  9896 generates suitable rules `split_t_case' and `split_t_case_asm' (where
  9897 t is the name of the datatype).
  9898 
  9899 * Classical reasoner / Simplifier combination: new force_tac (and
  9900 derivatives Force_tac, force) combines rewriting and classical
  9901 reasoning (and whatever other tools) similarly to auto_tac, but is
  9902 aimed to solve the given subgoal completely.
  9903 
  9904 
  9905 *** General ***
  9906 
  9907 * new top-level commands `Goal' and `Goalw' that improve upon `goal'
  9908 and `goalw': the theory is no longer needed as an explicit argument -
  9909 the current theory context is used; assumptions are no longer returned
  9910 at the ML-level unless one of them starts with ==> or !!; it is
  9911 recommended to convert to these new commands using isatool fixgoal
  9912 (backup your sources first!);
  9913 
  9914 * new top-level commands 'thm' and 'thms' for retrieving theorems from
  9915 the current theory context, and 'theory' to lookup stored theories;
  9916 
  9917 * new theory section 'locale' for declaring constants, assumptions and
  9918 definitions that have local scope;
  9919 
  9920 * new theory section 'nonterminals' for purely syntactic types;
  9921 
  9922 * new theory section 'setup' for generic ML setup functions
  9923 (e.g. package initialization);
  9924 
  9925 * the distribution now includes Isabelle icons: see
  9926 lib/logo/isabelle-{small,tiny}.xpm;
  9927 
  9928 * isatool install - install binaries with absolute references to
  9929 ISABELLE_HOME/bin;
  9930 
  9931 * isatool logo -- create instances of the Isabelle logo (as EPS);
  9932 
  9933 * print mode 'emacs' reserved for Isamode;
  9934 
  9935 * support multiple print (ast) translations per constant name;
  9936 
  9937 * theorems involving oracles are now printed with a suffixed [!];
  9938 
  9939 
  9940 *** HOL ***
  9941 
  9942 * there is now a tutorial on Isabelle/HOL (do 'isatool doc tutorial');
  9943 
  9944 * HOL/inductive package reorganized and improved: now supports mutual
  9945 definitions such as
  9946 
  9947   inductive EVEN ODD
  9948     intrs
  9949       null "0 : EVEN"
  9950       oddI "n : EVEN ==> Suc n : ODD"
  9951       evenI "n : ODD ==> Suc n : EVEN"
  9952 
  9953 new theorem list "elims" contains an elimination rule for each of the
  9954 recursive sets; inductive definitions now handle disjunctive premises
  9955 correctly (also ZF);
  9956 
  9957 INCOMPATIBILITIES: requires Inductive as an ancestor; component
  9958 "mutual_induct" no longer exists - the induction rule is always
  9959 contained in "induct";
  9960 
  9961 
  9962 * HOL/datatype package re-implemented and greatly improved: now
  9963 supports mutually recursive datatypes such as
  9964 
  9965   datatype
  9966     'a aexp = IF_THEN_ELSE ('a bexp) ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9967             | SUM ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9968             | DIFF ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9969             | NUM 'a
  9970   and
  9971     'a bexp = LESS ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9972             | AND ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
  9973             | OR ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
  9974 
  9975 as well as indirectly recursive datatypes such as
  9976 
  9977   datatype
  9978     ('a, 'b) term = Var 'a
  9979                   | App 'b ((('a, 'b) term) list)
  9980 
  9981 The new tactic  mutual_induct_tac [<var_1>, ..., <var_n>] i  performs
  9982 induction on mutually / indirectly recursive datatypes.
  9983 
  9984 Primrec equations are now stored in theory and can be accessed via
  9985 <function_name>.simps.
  9986 
  9987 INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  9988 
  9989   - Theories using datatypes must now have theory Datatype as an
  9990     ancestor.
  9991   - The specific <typename>.induct_tac no longer exists - use the
  9992     generic induct_tac instead.
  9993   - natE has been renamed to nat.exhaust - use exhaust_tac
  9994     instead of res_inst_tac ... natE. Note that the variable
  9995     names in nat.exhaust differ from the names in natE, this
  9996     may cause some "fragile" proofs to fail.
  9997   - The theorems split_<typename>_case and split_<typename>_case_asm
  9998     have been renamed to <typename>.split and <typename>.split_asm.
  9999   - Since default sorts of type variables are now handled correctly,
 10000     some datatype definitions may have to be annotated with explicit
 10001     sort constraints.
 10002   - Primrec definitions no longer require function name and type
 10003     of recursive argument.
 10004 
 10005 Consider using isatool fixdatatype to adapt your theories and proof
 10006 scripts to the new package (backup your sources first!).
 10007 
 10008 
 10009 * HOL/record package: considerably improved implementation; now
 10010 includes concrete syntax for record types, terms, updates; theorems
 10011 for surjective pairing and splitting !!-bound record variables; proof
 10012 support is as follows:
 10013 
 10014   1) standard conversions (selectors or updates applied to record
 10015 constructor terms) are part of the standard simpset;
 10016 
 10017   2) inject equations of the form ((x, y) = (x', y')) == x=x' & y=y' are
 10018 made part of standard simpset and claset via addIffs;
 10019 
 10020   3) a tactic for record field splitting (record_split_tac) is part of
 10021 the standard claset (addSWrapper);
 10022 
 10023 To get a better idea about these rules you may retrieve them via
 10024 something like 'thms "foo.simps"' or 'thms "foo.iffs"', where "foo" is
 10025 the name of your record type.
 10026 
 10027 The split tactic 3) conceptually simplifies by the following rule:
 10028 
 10029   "(!!x. PROP ?P x) == (!!a b. PROP ?P (a, b))"
 10030 
 10031 Thus any record variable that is bound by meta-all will automatically
 10032 blow up into some record constructor term, consequently the
 10033 simplifications of 1), 2) apply.  Thus force_tac, auto_tac etc. shall
 10034 solve record problems automatically.
 10035 
 10036 
 10037 * reorganized the main HOL image: HOL/Integ and String loaded by
 10038 default; theory Main includes everything;
 10039 
 10040 * automatic simplification of integer sums and comparisons, using cancellation;
 10041 
 10042 * added option_map_eq_Some and not_Some_eq to the default simpset and claset;
 10043 
 10044 * added disj_not1 = "(~P | Q) = (P --> Q)" to the default simpset;
 10045 
 10046 * many new identities for unions, intersections, set difference, etc.;
 10047 
 10048 * expand_if, expand_split, expand_sum_case and expand_nat_case are now
 10049 called split_if, split_split, split_sum_case and split_nat_case (to go
 10050 with add/delsplits);
 10051 
 10052 * HOL/Prod introduces simplification procedure unit_eq_proc rewriting
 10053 (?x::unit) = (); this is made part of the default simpset, which COULD
 10054 MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL under rare circumstances (consider
 10055 'Delsimprocs [unit_eq_proc];' as last resort); also note that
 10056 unit_abs_eta_conv is added in order to counter the effect of
 10057 unit_eq_proc on (%u::unit. f u), replacing it by f rather than by
 10058 %u.f();
 10059 
 10060 * HOL/Fun INCOMPATIBILITY: `inj_onto' is now called `inj_on' (which
 10061 makes more sense);
 10062 
 10063 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 10064   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 10065   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 10066 
 10067 * HOL/Relation INCOMPATIBILITY: renamed the relational operator r^-1
 10068 to 'converse' from 'inverse' (for compatibility with ZF and some
 10069 literature);
 10070 
 10071 * HOL/recdef can now declare non-recursive functions, with {} supplied as
 10072 the well-founded relation;
 10073 
 10074 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: the complement of set A is now written -A instead of
 10075     Compl A.  The "Compl" syntax remains available as input syntax for this
 10076     release ONLY.
 10077 
 10078 * HOL/Update: new theory of function updates:
 10079     f(a:=b) == %x. if x=a then b else f x
 10080 may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 10081 
 10082 * HOL/Vimage: new theory for inverse image of a function, syntax f-``B;
 10083 
 10084 * HOL/List:
 10085   - new function list_update written xs[i:=v] that updates the i-th
 10086     list position. May also be iterated as in xs[i:=a,j:=b,...].
 10087   - new function `upt' written [i..j(] which generates the list
 10088     [i,i+1,...,j-1], i.e. the upper bound is excluded. To include the upper
 10089     bound write [i..j], which is a shorthand for [i..j+1(].
 10090   - new lexicographic orderings and corresponding wellfoundedness theorems.
 10091 
 10092 * HOL/Arith:
 10093   - removed 'pred' (predecessor) function;
 10094   - generalized some theorems about n-1;
 10095   - many new laws about "div" and "mod";
 10096   - new laws about greatest common divisors (see theory ex/Primes);
 10097 
 10098 * HOL/Relation: renamed the relational operator r^-1 "converse"
 10099 instead of "inverse";
 10100 
 10101 * HOL/Induct/Multiset: a theory of multisets, including the wellfoundedness
 10102   of the multiset ordering;
 10103 
 10104 * directory HOL/Real: a construction of the reals using Dedekind cuts
 10105   (not included by default);
 10106 
 10107 * directory HOL/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY formalism;
 10108 
 10109 * directory HOL/Hoare: a new version of Hoare logic which permits many-sorted
 10110   programs, i.e. different program variables may have different types.
 10111 
 10112 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 10113   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 10114   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 10115 
 10116 
 10117 *** ZF ***
 10118 
 10119 * theory Main includes everything; INCOMPATIBILITY: theory ZF.thy contains
 10120   only the theorems proved on ZF.ML;
 10121 
 10122 * ZF INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 10123   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 10124   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 10125 
 10126 * ZF/Update: new theory of function updates
 10127     with default rewrite rule  f(x:=y) ` z = if(z=x, y, f`z)
 10128   may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 10129 
 10130 * in  let x=t in u(x), neither t nor u(x) has to be an FOL term.
 10131 
 10132 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 10133   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 10134   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 10135 
 10136 * case_tac provided for compatibility with HOL
 10137     (like the old excluded_middle_tac, but with subgoals swapped)
 10138 
 10139 
 10140 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
 10141 
 10142 * Pure: several new basic modules made available for general use, see
 10143 also src/Pure/README;
 10144 
 10145 * improved the theory data mechanism to support encapsulation (data
 10146 kind name replaced by private Object.kind, acting as authorization
 10147 key); new type-safe user interface via functor TheoryDataFun; generic
 10148 print_data function becomes basically useless;
 10149 
 10150 * removed global_names compatibility flag -- all theory declarations
 10151 are qualified by default;
 10152 
 10153 * module Pure/Syntax now offers quote / antiquote translation
 10154 functions (useful for Hoare logic etc. with implicit dependencies);
 10155 see HOL/ex/Antiquote for an example use;
 10156 
 10157 * Simplifier now offers conversions (asm_)(full_)rewrite: simpset ->
 10158 cterm -> thm;
 10159 
 10160 * new tactical CHANGED_GOAL for checking that a tactic modifies a
 10161 subgoal;
 10162 
 10163 * Display.print_goals function moved to Locale.print_goals;
 10164 
 10165 * standard print function for goals supports current_goals_markers
 10166 variable for marking begin of proof, end of proof, start of goal; the
 10167 default is ("", "", ""); setting current_goals_markers := ("<proof>",
 10168 "</proof>", "<goal>") causes SGML like tagged proof state printing,
 10169 for example;
 10170 
 10171 
 10172 
 10173 New in Isabelle98 (January 1998)
 10174 --------------------------------
 10175 
 10176 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 10177 
 10178 * changed lexical syntax of terms / types: dots made part of long
 10179 identifiers, e.g. "%x.x" no longer possible, should be "%x. x";
 10180 
 10181 * simpset (and claset) reference variable replaced by functions
 10182 simpset / simpset_ref;
 10183 
 10184 * no longer supports theory aliases (via merge) and non-trivial
 10185 implicit merge of thms' signatures;
 10186 
 10187 * most internal names of constants changed due to qualified names;
 10188 
 10189 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML);
 10190 
 10191 
 10192 *** General Changes ***
 10193 
 10194 * hierachically structured name spaces (for consts, types, axms, thms
 10195 etc.); new lexical class 'longid' (e.g. Foo.bar.x) may render much of
 10196 old input syntactically incorrect (e.g. "%x.x"); COMPATIBILITY:
 10197 isatool fixdots ensures space after dots (e.g. "%x. x"); set
 10198 long_names for fully qualified output names; NOTE: ML programs
 10199 (special tactics, packages etc.) referring to internal names may have
 10200 to be adapted to cope with fully qualified names; in case of severe
 10201 backward campatibility problems try setting 'global_names' at compile
 10202 time to have enrything declared within a flat name space; one may also
 10203 fine tune name declarations in theories via the 'global' and 'local'
 10204 section;
 10205 
 10206 * reimplemented the implicit simpset and claset using the new anytype
 10207 data filed in signatures; references simpset:simpset ref etc. are
 10208 replaced by functions simpset:unit->simpset and
 10209 simpset_ref:unit->simpset ref; COMPATIBILITY: use isatool fixclasimp
 10210 to patch your ML files accordingly;
 10211 
 10212 * HTML output now includes theory graph data for display with Java
 10213 applet or isatool browser; data generated automatically via isatool
 10214 usedir (see -i option, ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS);
 10215 
 10216 * defs may now be conditional; improved rewrite_goals_tac to handle
 10217 conditional equations;
 10218 
 10219 * defs now admits additional type arguments, using TYPE('a) syntax;
 10220 
 10221 * theory aliases via merge (e.g. M=A+B+C) no longer supported, always
 10222 creates a new theory node; implicit merge of thms' signatures is
 10223 restricted to 'trivial' ones; COMPATIBILITY: one may have to use
 10224 transfer:theory->thm->thm in (rare) cases;
 10225 
 10226 * improved handling of draft signatures / theories; draft thms (and
 10227 ctyps, cterms) are automatically promoted to real ones;
 10228 
 10229 * slightly changed interfaces for oracles: admit many per theory, named
 10230 (e.g. oracle foo = mlfun), additional name argument for invoke_oracle;
 10231 
 10232 * print_goals: optional output of const types (set show_consts and
 10233 show_types);
 10234 
 10235 * improved output of warnings (###) and errors (***);
 10236 
 10237 * subgoal_tac displays a warning if the new subgoal has type variables;
 10238 
 10239 * removed old README and Makefiles;
 10240 
 10241 * replaced print_goals_ref hook by print_current_goals_fn and result_error_fn;
 10242 
 10243 * removed obsolete init_pps and init_database;
 10244 
 10245 * deleted the obsolete tactical STATE, which was declared by
 10246     fun STATE tacfun st = tacfun st st;
 10247 
 10248 * cd and use now support path variables, e.g. $ISABELLE_HOME, or ~
 10249 (which abbreviates $HOME);
 10250 
 10251 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML); COMPATIBILITY:
 10252 use isatool fixseq to adapt your ML programs (this works for fully
 10253 qualified references to the Sequence structure only!);
 10254 
 10255 * use_thy no longer requires writable current directory; it always
 10256 reloads .ML *and* .thy file, if either one is out of date;
 10257 
 10258 
 10259 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 10260 
 10261 * Clarify_tac, clarify_tac, clarify_step_tac, Clarify_step_tac: new
 10262 tactics that use classical reasoning to simplify a subgoal without
 10263 splitting it into several subgoals;
 10264 
 10265 * Safe_tac: like safe_tac but uses the default claset;
 10266 
 10267 
 10268 *** Simplifier ***
 10269 
 10270 * added simplification meta rules:
 10271     (asm_)(full_)simplify: simpset -> thm -> thm;
 10272 
 10273 * simplifier.ML no longer part of Pure -- has to be loaded by object
 10274 logics (again);
 10275 
 10276 * added prems argument to simplification procedures;
 10277 
 10278 * HOL, FOL, ZF: added infix function `addsplits':
 10279   instead of `<simpset> setloop (split_tac <thms>)'
 10280   you can simply write `<simpset> addsplits <thms>'
 10281 
 10282 
 10283 *** Syntax ***
 10284 
 10285 * TYPE('a) syntax for type reflection terms;
 10286 
 10287 * no longer handles consts with name "" -- declare as 'syntax' instead;
 10288 
 10289 * pretty printer: changed order of mixfix annotation preference (again!);
 10290 
 10291 * Pure: fixed idt/idts vs. pttrn/pttrns syntactic categories;
 10292 
 10293 
 10294 *** HOL ***
 10295 
 10296 * HOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 10297   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 10298 
 10299 * HOL/TLA: Stephan Merz's formalization of Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions;
 10300 
 10301 * HOL/Auth: new protocol proofs including some for the Internet
 10302   protocol TLS;
 10303 
 10304 * HOL/Map: new theory of `maps' a la VDM;
 10305 
 10306 * HOL/simplifier: simplification procedures nat_cancel_sums for
 10307 cancelling out common nat summands from =, <, <= (in)equalities, or
 10308 differences; simplification procedures nat_cancel_factor for
 10309 cancelling common factor from =, <, <= (in)equalities over natural
 10310 sums; nat_cancel contains both kinds of procedures, it is installed by
 10311 default in Arith.thy -- this COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL;
 10312 
 10313 * HOL/simplifier: terms of the form
 10314   `? x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x)'  (or t=x)
 10315   are rewritten to
 10316   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t)',
 10317   and those of the form
 10318   `! x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x) --> R(x)'  (or t=x)
 10319   are rewritten to
 10320   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t) --> R(t)',
 10321 
 10322 * HOL/datatype
 10323   Each datatype `t' now comes with a theorem `split_t_case' of the form
 10324 
 10325   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 10326      ( (!y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 --> P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) &
 10327         ...
 10328        (!y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn --> P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 10329      )
 10330 
 10331   and a theorem `split_t_case_asm' of the form
 10332 
 10333   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 10334     ~( (? y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 & ~P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) |
 10335         ...
 10336        (? y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn & ~P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 10337      )
 10338   which can be added to a simpset via `addsplits'. The existing theorems
 10339   expand_list_case and expand_option_case have been renamed to
 10340   split_list_case and split_option_case.
 10341 
 10342 * HOL/Arithmetic:
 10343   - `pred n' is automatically converted to `n-1'.
 10344     Users are strongly encouraged not to use `pred' any longer,
 10345     because it will disappear altogether at some point.
 10346   - Users are strongly encouraged to write "0 < n" rather than
 10347     "n ~= 0". Theorems and proof tools have been modified towards this
 10348     `standard'.
 10349 
 10350 * HOL/Lists:
 10351   the function "set_of_list" has been renamed "set" (and its theorems too);
 10352   the function "nth" now takes its arguments in the reverse order and
 10353   has acquired the infix notation "!" as in "xs!n".
 10354 
 10355 * HOL/Set: UNIV is now a constant and is no longer translated to Compl{};
 10356 
 10357 * HOL/Set: The operator (UN x.B x) now abbreviates (UN x:UNIV. B x) and its
 10358   specialist theorems (like UN1_I) are gone.  Similarly for (INT x.B x);
 10359 
 10360 * HOL/record: extensible records with schematic structural subtyping
 10361 (single inheritance); EXPERIMENTAL version demonstrating the encoding,
 10362 still lacks various theorems and concrete record syntax;
 10363 
 10364 
 10365 *** HOLCF ***
 10366 
 10367 * removed "axioms" and "generated by" sections;
 10368 
 10369 * replaced "ops" section by extended "consts" section, which is capable of
 10370   handling the continuous function space "->" directly;
 10371 
 10372 * domain package:
 10373   . proves theorems immediately and stores them in the theory,
 10374   . creates hierachical name space,
 10375   . now uses normal mixfix annotations (instead of cinfix...),
 10376   . minor changes to some names and values (for consistency),
 10377   . e.g. cases -> casedist, dists_eq -> dist_eqs, [take_lemma] -> take_lemmas,
 10378   . separator between mutual domain defs: changed "," to "and",
 10379   . improved handling of sort constraints;  now they have to
 10380     appear on the left-hand side of the equations only;
 10381 
 10382 * fixed LAM <x,y,zs>.b syntax;
 10383 
 10384 * added extended adm_tac to simplifier in HOLCF -- can now discharge
 10385 adm (%x. P (t x)), where P is chainfinite and t continuous;
 10386 
 10387 
 10388 *** FOL and ZF ***
 10389 
 10390 * FOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 10391   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 10392 
 10393 * qed_spec_mp, qed_goal_spec_mp, qed_goalw_spec_mp are available, as
 10394 in HOL, they strip ALL and --> from proved theorems;
 10395 
 10396 
 10397 
 10398 New in Isabelle94-8 (May 1997)
 10399 ------------------------------
 10400 
 10401 *** General Changes ***
 10402 
 10403 * new utilities to build / run / maintain Isabelle etc. (in parts
 10404 still somewhat experimental); old Makefiles etc. still functional;
 10405 
 10406 * new 'Isabelle System Manual';
 10407 
 10408 * INSTALL text, together with ./configure and ./build scripts;
 10409 
 10410 * reimplemented type inference for greater efficiency, better error
 10411 messages and clean internal interface;
 10412 
 10413 * prlim command for dealing with lots of subgoals (an easier way of
 10414 setting goals_limit);
 10415 
 10416 
 10417 *** Syntax ***
 10418 
 10419 * supports alternative (named) syntax tables (parser and pretty
 10420 printer); internal interface is provided by add_modesyntax(_i);
 10421 
 10422 * Pure, FOL, ZF, HOL, HOLCF now support symbolic input and output; to
 10423 be used in conjunction with the Isabelle symbol font; uses the
 10424 "symbols" syntax table;
 10425 
 10426 * added token_translation interface (may translate name tokens in
 10427 arbitrary ways, dependent on their type (free, bound, tfree, ...) and
 10428 the current print_mode); IMPORTANT: user print translation functions
 10429 are responsible for marking newly introduced bounds
 10430 (Syntax.mark_boundT);
 10431 
 10432 * token translations for modes "xterm" and "xterm_color" that display
 10433 names in bold, underline etc. or colors (which requires a color
 10434 version of xterm);
 10435 
 10436 * infixes may now be declared with names independent of their syntax;
 10437 
 10438 * added typed_print_translation (like print_translation, but may
 10439 access type of constant);
 10440 
 10441 
 10442 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 10443 
 10444 Blast_tac: a new tactic!  It is often more powerful than fast_tac, but has
 10445 some limitations.  Blast_tac...
 10446   + ignores addss, addbefore, addafter; this restriction is intrinsic
 10447   + ignores elimination rules that don't have the correct format
 10448         (the conclusion MUST be a formula variable)
 10449   + ignores types, which can make HOL proofs fail
 10450   + rules must not require higher-order unification, e.g. apply_type in ZF
 10451     [message "Function Var's argument not a bound variable" relates to this]
 10452   + its proof strategy is more general but can actually be slower
 10453 
 10454 * substitution with equality assumptions no longer permutes other
 10455 assumptions;
 10456 
 10457 * minor changes in semantics of addafter (now called addaltern); renamed
 10458 setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to compWrapper; added safe wrapper
 10459 (and access functions for it);
 10460 
 10461 * improved combination of classical reasoner and simplifier:
 10462   + functions for handling clasimpsets
 10463   + improvement of addss: now the simplifier is called _after_ the
 10464     safe steps.
 10465   + safe variant of addss called addSss: uses safe simplifications
 10466     _during_ the safe steps. It is more complete as it allows multiple
 10467     instantiations of unknowns (e.g. with slow_tac).
 10468 
 10469 *** Simplifier ***
 10470 
 10471 * added interface for simplification procedures (functions that
 10472 produce *proven* rewrite rules on the fly, depending on current
 10473 redex);
 10474 
 10475 * ordering on terms as parameter (used for ordered rewriting);
 10476 
 10477 * new functions delcongs, deleqcongs, and Delcongs. richer rep_ss;
 10478 
 10479 * the solver is now split into a safe and an unsafe part.
 10480 This should be invisible for the normal user, except that the
 10481 functions setsolver and addsolver have been renamed to setSolver and
 10482 addSolver; added safe_asm_full_simp_tac;
 10483 
 10484 
 10485 *** HOL ***
 10486 
 10487 * a generic induction tactic `induct_tac' which works for all datatypes and
 10488 also for type `nat';
 10489 
 10490 * a generic case distinction tactic `exhaust_tac' which works for all
 10491 datatypes and also for type `nat';
 10492 
 10493 * each datatype comes with a function `size';
 10494 
 10495 * patterns in case expressions allow tuple patterns as arguments to
 10496 constructors, for example `case x of [] => ... | (x,y,z)#ps => ...';
 10497 
 10498 * primrec now also works with type nat;
 10499 
 10500 * recdef: a new declaration form, allows general recursive functions to be
 10501 defined in theory files.  See HOL/ex/Fib, HOL/ex/Primes, HOL/Subst/Unify.
 10502 
 10503 * the constant for negation has been renamed from "not" to "Not" to
 10504 harmonize with FOL, ZF, LK, etc.;
 10505 
 10506 * HOL/ex/LFilter theory of a corecursive "filter" functional for
 10507 infinite lists;
 10508 
 10509 * HOL/Modelcheck demonstrates invocation of model checker oracle;
 10510 
 10511 * HOL/ex/Ring.thy declares cring_simp, which solves equational
 10512 problems in commutative rings, using axiomatic type classes for + and *;
 10513 
 10514 * more examples in HOL/MiniML and HOL/Auth;
 10515 
 10516 * more default rewrite rules for quantifiers, union/intersection;
 10517 
 10518 * a new constant `arbitrary == @x.False';
 10519 
 10520 * HOLCF/IOA replaces old HOL/IOA;
 10521 
 10522 * HOLCF changes: derived all rules and arities
 10523   + axiomatic type classes instead of classes
 10524   + typedef instead of faking type definitions
 10525   + eliminated the internal constants less_fun, less_cfun, UU_fun, UU_cfun etc.
 10526   + new axclasses cpo, chfin, flat with flat < chfin < pcpo < cpo < po
 10527   + eliminated the types void, one, tr
 10528   + use unit lift and bool lift (with translations) instead of one and tr
 10529   + eliminated blift from Lift3.thy (use Def instead of blift)
 10530   all eliminated rules are derived as theorems --> no visible changes ;
 10531 
 10532 
 10533 *** ZF ***
 10534 
 10535 * ZF now has Fast_tac, Simp_tac and Auto_tac.  Union_iff is a now a default
 10536 rewrite rule; this may affect some proofs.  eq_cs is gone but can be put back
 10537 as ZF_cs addSIs [equalityI];
 10538 
 10539 
 10540 
 10541 New in Isabelle94-7 (November 96)
 10542 ---------------------------------
 10543 
 10544 * allowing negative levels (as offsets) in prlev and choplev;
 10545 
 10546 * super-linear speedup for large simplifications;
 10547 
 10548 * FOL, ZF and HOL now use miniscoping: rewriting pushes
 10549 quantifications in as far as possible (COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS
 10550 FAIL); can suppress it using the command Delsimps (ex_simps @
 10551 all_simps); De Morgan laws are also now included, by default;
 10552 
 10553 * improved printing of ==>  :  ~:
 10554 
 10555 * new object-logic "Sequents" adds linear logic, while replacing LK
 10556 and Modal (thanks to Sara Kalvala);
 10557 
 10558 * HOL/Auth: correctness proofs for authentication protocols;
 10559 
 10560 * HOL: new auto_tac combines rewriting and classical reasoning (many
 10561 examples on HOL/Auth);
 10562 
 10563 * HOL: new command AddIffs for declaring theorems of the form P=Q to
 10564 the rewriter and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 10565 
 10566 * function uresult no longer returns theorems in "standard" format;
 10567 regain previous version by: val uresult = standard o uresult;
 10568 
 10569 
 10570 
 10571 New in Isabelle94-6
 10572 -------------------
 10573 
 10574 * oracles -- these establish an interface between Isabelle and trusted
 10575 external reasoners, which may deliver results as theorems;
 10576 
 10577 * proof objects (in particular record all uses of oracles);
 10578 
 10579 * Simp_tac, Fast_tac, etc. that refer to implicit simpset / claset;
 10580 
 10581 * "constdefs" section in theory files;
 10582 
 10583 * "primrec" section (HOL) no longer requires names;
 10584 
 10585 * internal type "tactic" now simply "thm -> thm Sequence.seq";
 10586 
 10587 
 10588 
 10589 New in Isabelle94-5
 10590 -------------------
 10591 
 10592 * reduced space requirements;
 10593 
 10594 * automatic HTML generation from theories;
 10595 
 10596 * theory files no longer require "..." (quotes) around most types;
 10597 
 10598 * new examples, including two proofs of the Church-Rosser theorem;
 10599 
 10600 * non-curried (1994) version of HOL is no longer distributed;
 10601 
 10602 
 10603 
 10604 New in Isabelle94-4
 10605 -------------------
 10606 
 10607 * greatly reduced space requirements;
 10608 
 10609 * theory files (.thy) no longer require \...\ escapes at line breaks;
 10610 
 10611 * searchable theorem database (see the section "Retrieving theorems" on
 10612 page 8 of the Reference Manual);
 10613 
 10614 * new examples, including Grabczewski's monumental case study of the
 10615 Axiom of Choice;
 10616 
 10617 * The previous version of HOL renamed to Old_HOL;
 10618 
 10619 * The new version of HOL (previously called CHOL) uses a curried syntax
 10620 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b);
 10621 
 10622 * Mutually recursive inductive definitions finally work in HOL;
 10623 
 10624 * In ZF, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions and
 10625 translates to the operator "split";
 10626 
 10627 
 10628 
 10629 New in Isabelle94-3
 10630 -------------------
 10631 
 10632 * new infix operator, addss, allowing the classical reasoner to
 10633 perform simplification at each step of its search.  Example:
 10634         fast_tac (cs addss ss)
 10635 
 10636 * a new logic, CHOL, the same as HOL, but with a curried syntax
 10637 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b).  Also pairs
 10638 look like (a,b) instead of <a,b>;
 10639 
 10640 * PLEASE NOTE: CHOL will eventually replace HOL!
 10641 
 10642 * In CHOL, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions.
 10643 It translates to the operator "split".  A new theory of integers is available;
 10644 
 10645 * In ZF, integer numerals now denote two's-complement binary integers.
 10646 Arithmetic operations can be performed by rewriting.  See ZF/ex/Bin.ML;
 10647 
 10648 * Many new examples: I/O automata, Church-Rosser theorem, equivalents
 10649 of the Axiom of Choice;
 10650 
 10651 
 10652 
 10653 New in Isabelle94-2
 10654 -------------------
 10655 
 10656 * Significantly faster resolution;
 10657 
 10658 * the different sections in a .thy file can now be mixed and repeated
 10659 freely;
 10660 
 10661 * Database of theorems for FOL, HOL and ZF.  New
 10662 commands including qed, qed_goal and bind_thm store theorems in the database.
 10663 
 10664 * Simple database queries: return a named theorem (get_thm) or all theorems of
 10665 a given theory (thms_of), or find out what theory a theorem was proved in
 10666 (theory_of_thm);
 10667 
 10668 * Bugs fixed in the inductive definition and datatype packages;
 10669 
 10670 * The classical reasoner provides deepen_tac and depth_tac, making FOL_dup_cs
 10671 and HOL_dup_cs obsolete;
 10672 
 10673 * Syntactic ambiguities caused by the new treatment of syntax in Isabelle94-1
 10674 have been removed;
 10675 
 10676 * Simpler definition of function space in ZF;
 10677 
 10678 * new results about cardinal and ordinal arithmetic in ZF;
 10679 
 10680 * 'subtype' facility in HOL for introducing new types as subsets of existing
 10681 types;
