     1 Isabelle NEWS -- history user-relevant changes
     2 ==============================================
     3 
     4 New in this Isabelle version
     5 ----------------------------
     6 
     7 *** HOL ***
     8 
     9 * Numeric types mapped by default to target language numerals:
    10 natural (replaces former code_numeral) and integer (replaces
    11 former code_int).  Conversions are available as integer_of_natural /
    12 natural_of_integer / integer_of_nat / nat_of_integer (in HOL) and
    13 Code_Numeral.integer_of_natural / Code_Numeral.natural_of_integer (in ML).
    14 INCOMPATIBILITY.
    15 
    16 * Discontinued theories Code_Integer and Efficient_Nat by a more
    17 fine-grain stack of theories Code_Target_Int, Code_Binary_Nat,
    18 Code_Target_Nat and Code_Target_Numeral.  See the tutorial on
    19 code generation for details.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
    20 
    21 * Theory "RealVector" and "Limits": Introduce type class
    22 (lin)order_topology. Allows to generalize theorems about limits and
    23 order. Instances are reals and extended reals.
    24 
    25 * Consolidation of library theories on product orders:
    26 
    27     Product_Lattice ~> Product_Order -- pointwise order on products
    28     Product_ord ~> Product_Lexorder -- lexicographic order on products
    29 
    30 INCOMPATIBILITY.
    31 
    32 * Sledgehammer:
    33 
    34   - Renamed option:
    35       isar_shrink ~> isar_compress
    36 
    37 
    38 New in Isabelle2013 (February 2013)
    39 -----------------------------------
    40 
    41 *** General ***
    42 
    43 * Theorem status about oracles and unfinished/failed future proofs is
    44 no longer printed by default, since it is incompatible with
    45 incremental / parallel checking of the persistent document model.  ML
    46 function Thm.peek_status may be used to inspect a snapshot of the
    47 ongoing evaluation process.  Note that in batch mode --- notably
    48 isabelle build --- the system ensures that future proofs of all
    49 accessible theorems in the theory context are finished (as before).
    50 
    51 * Configuration option show_markup controls direct inlining of markup
    52 into the printed representation of formal entities --- notably type
    53 and sort constraints.  This enables Prover IDE users to retrieve that
    54 information via tooltips in the output window, for example.
    55 
    56 * Command 'ML_file' evaluates ML text from a file directly within the
    57 theory, without any predeclaration via 'uses' in the theory header.
    58 
    59 * Old command 'use' command and corresponding keyword 'uses' in the
    60 theory header are legacy features and will be discontinued soon.
    61 Tools that load their additional source files may imitate the
    62 'ML_file' implementation, such that the system can take care of
    63 dependencies properly.
    64 
    65 * Discontinued obsolete method fastsimp / tactic fast_simp_tac, which
    66 is called fastforce / fast_force_tac already since Isabelle2011-1.
    67 
    68 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual, reduced
    69 remaining material in old "ref" manual.
    70 
    71 * Improved support for auxiliary contexts that indicate block structure
    72 for specifications.  Nesting of "context fixes ... context assumes ..."
    73 and "class ... context ...".
    74 
    75 * Attribute "consumes" allows a negative value as well, which is
    76 interpreted relatively to the total number of premises of the rule in
    77 the target context.  This form of declaration is stable when exported
    78 from a nested 'context' with additional assumptions.  It is the
    79 preferred form for definitional packages, notably cases/rules produced
    80 in HOL/inductive and HOL/function.
    81 
    82 * More informative error messages for Isar proof commands involving
    83 lazy enumerations (method applications etc.).
    84 
    85 * Refined 'help' command to retrieve outer syntax commands according
    86 to name patterns (with clickable results).
    87 
    88 
    89 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
    90 
    91 * Parallel terminal proofs ('by') are enabled by default, likewise
    92 proofs that are built into packages like 'datatype', 'function'.  This
    93 allows to "run ahead" checking the theory specifications on the
    94 surface, while the prover is still crunching on internal
    95 justifications.  Unfinished / cancelled proofs are restarted as
    96 required to complete full proof checking eventually.
    97 
    98 * Improved output panel with tooltips, hyperlinks etc. based on the
    99 same Rich_Text_Area as regular Isabelle/jEdit buffers.  Activation of
   100 tooltips leads to some window that supports the same recursively,
   101 which can lead to stacks of tooltips as the semantic document content
   102 is explored.  ESCAPE closes the whole stack, individual windows may be
   103 closed separately, or detached to become independent jEdit dockables.
   104 
   105 * Improved support for commands that produce graph output: the text
   106 message contains a clickable area to open a new instance of the graph
   107 browser on demand.
   108 
   109 * More robust incremental parsing of outer syntax (partial comments,
   110 malformed symbols).  Changing the balance of open/close quotes and
   111 comment delimiters works more conveniently with unfinished situations
   112 that frequently occur in user interaction.
   113 
   114 * More efficient painting and improved reactivity when editing large
   115 files.  More scalable management of formal document content.
   116 
   117 * Smarter handling of tracing messages: prover process pauses after
   118 certain number of messages per command transaction, with some user
   119 dialog to stop or continue.  This avoids swamping the front-end with
   120 potentially infinite message streams.
   121 
   122 * More plugin options and preferences, based on Isabelle/Scala.  The
   123 jEdit plugin option panel provides access to some Isabelle/Scala
   124 options, including tuning parameters for editor reactivity and color
   125 schemes.
   126 
   127 * Dockable window "Symbols" provides some editing support for Isabelle
   128 symbols.
   129 
   130 * Dockable window "Monitor" shows ML runtime statistics.  Note that
   131 continuous display of the chart slows down the system.
   132 
   133 * Improved editing support for control styles: subscript, superscript,
   134 bold, reset of style -- operating on single symbols or text
   135 selections.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C+e DOWN/UP/RIGHT/LEFT.
   136 
   137 * Actions isabelle.increase-font-size and isabelle.decrease-font-size
   138 adjust the main text area font size, and its derivatives for output,
   139 tooltips etc.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C-PLUS and C-MINUS, which often
   140 need to be adapted to local keyboard layouts.
   141 
   142 * More reactive completion popup by default: use \t (TAB) instead of
   143 \n (NEWLINE) to minimize intrusion into regular flow of editing.  See
   144 also "Plugin Options / SideKick / General / Code Completion Options".
   145 
   146 * Implicit check and build dialog of the specified logic session
   147 image.  For example, HOL, HOLCF, HOL-Nominal can be produced on
   148 demand, without bundling big platform-dependent heap images in the
   149 Isabelle distribution.
   150 
   151 * Uniform Java 7 platform on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows: recent updates
   152 from Oracle provide better multi-platform experience.  This version is
   153 now bundled exclusively with Isabelle.
   154 
   155 
   156 *** Pure ***
   157 
   158 * Code generation for Haskell: restrict unqualified imports from
   159 Haskell Prelude to a small set of fundamental operations.
   160 
   161 * Command 'export_code': relative file names are interpreted
   162 relatively to master directory of current theory rather than the
   163 rather arbitrary current working directory.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   164 
   165 * Discontinued obsolete attribute "COMP".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
   166 use regular rule composition via "OF" / "THEN", or explicit proof
   167 structure instead.  Note that Isabelle/ML provides a variety of
   168 operators like COMP, INCR_COMP, COMP_INCR, which need to be applied
   169 with some care where this is really required.
   170 
   171 * Command 'typ' supports an additional variant with explicit sort
   172 constraint, to infer and check the most general type conforming to a
   173 given sort.  Example (in HOL):
   174 
   175   typ "_ * _ * bool * unit" :: finite
   176 
   177 * Command 'locale_deps' visualizes all locales and their relations as
   178 a Hasse diagram.
   179 
   180 
   181 *** HOL ***
   182 
   183 * Sledgehammer:
   184 
   185   - Added MaSh relevance filter based on machine-learning; see the
   186     Sledgehammer manual for details.
   187   - Polished Isar proofs generated with "isar_proofs" option.
   188   - Rationalized type encodings ("type_enc" option).
   189   - Renamed "kill_provers" subcommand to "kill_all".
   190   - Renamed options:
   191       isar_proof ~> isar_proofs
   192       isar_shrink_factor ~> isar_shrink
   193       max_relevant ~> max_facts
   194       relevance_thresholds ~> fact_thresholds
   195 
   196 * Quickcheck: added an optimisation for equality premises.  It is
   197 switched on by default, and can be switched off by setting the
   198 configuration quickcheck_optimise_equality to false.
   199 
   200 * Quotient: only one quotient can be defined by quotient_type
   201 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   202 
   203 * Lifting:
   204   - generation of an abstraction function equation in lift_definition
   205   - quot_del attribute
   206   - renamed no_abs_code -> no_code (INCOMPATIBILITY.)
   207 
   208 * Simproc "finite_Collect" rewrites set comprehensions into pointfree
   209 expressions.
   210 
   211 * Preprocessing of the code generator rewrites set comprehensions into
   212 pointfree expressions.
   213 
   214 * The SMT solver Z3 has now by default a restricted set of directly
   215 supported features. For the full set of features (div/mod, nonlinear
   216 arithmetic, datatypes/records) with potential proof reconstruction
   217 failures, enable the configuration option "z3_with_extensions".  Minor
   218 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   219 
   220 * Simplified 'typedef' specifications: historical options for implicit
   221 set definition and alternative name have been discontinued.  The
   222 former behavior of "typedef (open) t = A" is now the default, but
   223 written just "typedef t = A".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt theories
   224 accordingly.
   225 
   226 * Removed constant "chars"; prefer "Enum.enum" on type "char"
   227 directly.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   228 
   229 * Moved operation product, sublists and n_lists from theory Enum to
   230 List.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   231 
   232 * Theorem UN_o generalized to SUP_comp.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   233 
   234 * Class "comm_monoid_diff" formalises properties of bounded
   235 subtraction, with natural numbers and multisets as typical instances.
   236 
   237 * Added combinator "Option.these" with type "'a option set => 'a set".
   238 
   239 * Theory "Transitive_Closure": renamed lemmas
   240 
   241   reflcl_tranclp -> reflclp_tranclp
   242   rtranclp_reflcl -> rtranclp_reflclp
   243 
   244 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   245 
   246 * Theory "Rings": renamed lemmas (in class semiring)
   247 
   248   left_distrib ~> distrib_right
   249   right_distrib ~> distrib_left
   250 
   251 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   252 
   253 * Generalized the definition of limits:
   254 
   255   - Introduced the predicate filterlim (LIM x F. f x :> G) which
   256     expresses that when the input values x converge to F then the
   257     output f x converges to G.
   258 
   259   - Added filters for convergence to positive (at_top) and negative
   260     infinity (at_bot).
   261 
   262   - Moved infinity in the norm (at_infinity) from
   263     Multivariate_Analysis to Complex_Main.
   264 
   265   - Removed real_tendsto_inf, it is superseded by "LIM x F. f x :>
   266     at_top".
   267 
   268 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   269 
   270 * Theory "Library/Option_ord" provides instantiation of option type to
   271 lattice type classes.
   272 
   273 * Theory "Library/Multiset": renamed
   274 
   275     constant fold_mset ~> Multiset.fold
   276     fact fold_mset_commute ~> fold_mset_comm
   277 
   278 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   279 
   280 * Renamed theory Library/List_Prefix to Library/Sublist, with related
   281 changes as follows.
   282 
   283   - Renamed constants (and related lemmas)
   284 
   285       prefix ~> prefixeq
   286       strict_prefix ~> prefix
   287 
   288   - Replaced constant "postfix" by "suffixeq" with swapped argument
   289     order (i.e., "postfix xs ys" is now "suffixeq ys xs") and dropped
   290     old infix syntax "xs >>= ys"; use "suffixeq ys xs" instead.
   291     Renamed lemmas accordingly.
   292 
   293   - Added constant "list_hembeq" for homeomorphic embedding on
   294     lists. Added abbreviation "sublisteq" for special case
   295     "list_hembeq (op =)".
   296 
   297   - Theory Library/Sublist no longer provides "order" and "bot" type
   298     class instances for the prefix order (merely corresponding locale
   299     interpretations). The type class instances are now in theory
   300     Library/Prefix_Order.
   301 
   302   - The sublist relation of theory Library/Sublist_Order is now based
   303     on "Sublist.sublisteq".  Renamed lemmas accordingly:
   304 
   305       le_list_append_le_same_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append_le_same_iff
   306       le_list_append_mono ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_append_mono
   307       le_list_below_empty ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil, Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil2
   308       le_list_Cons_EX ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_ConsD
   309       le_list_drop_Cons2 ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2'
   310       le_list_drop_Cons_neq ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2_neq
   311       le_list_drop_Cons ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons'
   312       le_list_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_drop_many
   313       le_list_filter_left ~> Sublist.sublisteq_filter_left
   314       le_list_rev_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_rev_drop_many
   315       le_list_rev_take_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append
   316       le_list_same_length ~> Sublist.sublisteq_same_length
   317       le_list_take_many_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append'
   318       less_eq_list.drop ~> less_eq_list_drop
   319       less_eq_list.induct ~> less_eq_list_induct
   320       not_le_list_length ~> Sublist.not_sublisteq_length
   321 
   322 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   323 
   324 * New theory Library/Countable_Set.
   325 
   326 * Theory Library/Debug and Library/Parallel provide debugging and
   327 parallel execution for code generated towards Isabelle/ML.
   328 
   329 * Theory Library/FuncSet: Extended support for Pi and extensional and
   330 introduce the extensional dependent function space "PiE". Replaced
   331 extensional_funcset by an abbreviation, and renamed lemmas from
   332 extensional_funcset to PiE as follows:
   333 
   334   extensional_empty  ~>  PiE_empty
   335   extensional_funcset_empty_domain  ~>  PiE_empty_domain
   336   extensional_funcset_empty_range  ~>  PiE_empty_range
   337   extensional_funcset_arb  ~>  PiE_arb
   338   extensional_funcset_mem  ~>  PiE_mem
   339   extensional_funcset_extend_domainI  ~>  PiE_fun_upd
   340   extensional_funcset_restrict_domain  ~>  fun_upd_in_PiE
   341   extensional_funcset_extend_domain_eq  ~>  PiE_insert_eq
   342   card_extensional_funcset  ~>  card_PiE
   343   finite_extensional_funcset  ~>  finite_PiE
   344 
   345 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   346 
   347 * Theory Library/FinFun: theory of almost everywhere constant
   348 functions (supersedes the AFP entry "Code Generation for Functions as
   349 Data").
   350 
   351 * Theory Library/Phantom: generic phantom type to make a type
   352 parameter appear in a constant's type.  This alternative to adding
   353 TYPE('a) as another parameter avoids unnecessary closures in generated
   354 code.
   355 
   356 * Theory Library/RBT_Impl: efficient construction of red-black trees
   357 from sorted associative lists. Merging two trees with rbt_union may
   358 return a structurally different tree than before.  Potential
   359 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   360 
   361 * Theory Library/IArray: immutable arrays with code generation.
   362 
   363 * Theory Library/Finite_Lattice: theory of finite lattices.
   364 
   365 * HOL/Multivariate_Analysis: replaced
   366 
   367   "basis :: 'a::euclidean_space => nat => real"
   368   "\<Chi>\<Chi> :: (nat => real) => 'a::euclidean_space"
   369 
   370 on euclidean spaces by using the inner product "_ \<bullet> _" with
   371 vectors from the Basis set: "\<Chi>\<Chi> i. f i" is superseded by
   372 "SUM i : Basis. f i * r i".
   373 
   374   With this change the following constants are also changed or removed:
   375 
   376     DIM('a) :: nat  ~>  card (Basis :: 'a set)   (is an abbreviation)
   377     a $$ i  ~>  inner a i  (where i : Basis)
   378     cart_base i  removed
   379     \<pi>, \<pi>'  removed
   380 
   381   Theorems about these constants where removed.
   382 
   383   Renamed lemmas:
   384 
   385     component_le_norm  ~>  Basis_le_norm
   386     euclidean_eq  ~>  euclidean_eq_iff
   387     differential_zero_maxmin_component  ~>  differential_zero_maxmin_cart
   388     euclidean_simps  ~>  inner_simps
   389     independent_basis  ~>  independent_Basis
   390     span_basis  ~>  span_Basis
   391     in_span_basis  ~>  in_span_Basis
   392     norm_bound_component_le  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_le
   393     norm_bound_component_lt  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_lt
   394     component_le_infnorm  ~>  Basis_le_infnorm
   395 
   396 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   397 
   398 * HOL/Probability:
   399 
   400   - Added simproc "measurable" to automatically prove measurability.
   401 
   402   - Added induction rules for sigma sets with disjoint union
   403     (sigma_sets_induct_disjoint) and for Borel-measurable functions
   404     (borel_measurable_induct).
   405 
   406   - Added the Daniell-Kolmogorov theorem (the existence the limit of a
   407     projective family).
   408 
   409 * HOL/Cardinals: Theories of ordinals and cardinals (supersedes the
   410 AFP entry "Ordinals_and_Cardinals").
   411 
   412 * HOL/BNF: New (co)datatype package based on bounded natural functors
   413 with support for mixed, nested recursion and interesting non-free
   414 datatypes.
   415 
   416 * HOL/Finite_Set and Relation: added new set and relation operations
   417 expressed by Finite_Set.fold.
   418 
   419 * New theory HOL/Library/RBT_Set: implementation of sets by red-black
   420 trees for the code generator.
   421 
   422 * HOL/Library/RBT and HOL/Library/Mapping have been converted to
   423 Lifting/Transfer.
   424 possible INCOMPATIBILITY.
   425 
   426 * HOL/Set: renamed Set.project -> Set.filter
   427 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   428 
   429 
   430 *** Document preparation ***
   431 
   432 * Dropped legacy antiquotations "term_style" and "thm_style", since
   433 styles may be given as arguments to "term" and "thm" already.
   434 Discontinued legacy styles "prem1" .. "prem19".
   435 
   436 * Default LaTeX rendering for \<euro> is now based on eurosym package,
   437 instead of slightly exotic babel/greek.
   438 
   439 * Document variant NAME may use different LaTeX entry point
   440 document/root_NAME.tex if that file exists, instead of the common
   441 document/root.tex.
   442 
   443 * Simplified custom document/build script, instead of old-style
   444 document/IsaMakefile.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   445 
   446 
   447 *** ML ***
   448 
   449 * The default limit for maximum number of worker threads is now 8,
   450 instead of 4, in correspondence to capabilities of contemporary
   451 hardware and Poly/ML runtime system.
   452 
   453 * Type Seq.results and related operations support embedded error
   454 messages within lazy enumerations, and thus allow to provide
   455 informative errors in the absence of any usable results.
   456 
   457 * Renamed Position.str_of to Position.here to emphasize that this is a
   458 formal device to inline positions into message text, but not
   459 necessarily printing visible text.
   460 
   461 
   462 *** System ***
   463 
   464 * Advanced support for Isabelle sessions and build management, see
   465 "system" manual for the chapter of that name, especially the "isabelle
   466 build" tool and its examples.  The "isabelle mkroot" tool prepares
   467 session root directories for use with "isabelle build", similar to
   468 former "isabelle mkdir" for "isabelle usedir".  Note that this affects
   469 document preparation as well.  INCOMPATIBILITY, isabelle usedir /
   470 mkdir / make are rendered obsolete.
   471 
   472 * Discontinued obsolete Isabelle/build script, it is superseded by the
   473 regular isabelle build tool.  For example:
   474 
   475   isabelle build -s -b HOL
   476 
   477 * Discontinued obsolete "isabelle makeall".
   478 
   479 * Discontinued obsolete IsaMakefile and ROOT.ML files from the
   480 Isabelle distribution, except for rudimentary src/HOL/IsaMakefile that
   481 provides some traditional targets that invoke "isabelle build".  Note
   482 that this is inefficient!  Applications of Isabelle/HOL involving
   483 "isabelle make" should be upgraded to use "isabelle build" directly.
   484 
   485 * The "isabelle options" tool prints Isabelle system options, as
   486 required for "isabelle build", for example.
   487 
   488 * The "isabelle logo" tool produces EPS and PDF format simultaneously.
   489 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY in command-line options.
   490 
   491 * The "isabelle install" tool has now a simpler command-line.  Minor
   492 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   493 
   494 * The "isabelle components" tool helps to resolve add-on components
   495 that are not bundled, or referenced from a bare-bones repository
   496 version of Isabelle.
   497 
   498 * Settings variable ISABELLE_PLATFORM_FAMILY refers to the general
   499 platform family: "linux", "macos", "windows".
   500 
   501 * The ML system is configured as regular component, and no longer
   502 picked up from some surrounding directory.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
   503 for home-made settings.
   504 
   505 * Improved ML runtime statistics (heap, threads, future tasks etc.).
   506 
   507 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2.1, which was the last version
   508 without exception positions and advanced ML compiler/toplevel
   509 configuration.
   510 
   511 * Discontinued special treatment of Proof General -- no longer guess
   512 PROOFGENERAL_HOME based on accidental file-system layout.  Minor
   513 INCOMPATIBILITY: provide PROOFGENERAL_HOME and PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS
   514 settings manually, or use a Proof General version that has been
   515 bundled as Isabelle component.
   516 
   517 
   518 
   519 New in Isabelle2012 (May 2012)
   520 ------------------------------
   521 
   522 *** General ***
   523 
   524 * Prover IDE (PIDE) improvements:
   525 
   526   - more robust Sledgehammer integration (as before the sledgehammer
   527     command-line needs to be typed into the source buffer)
   528   - markup for bound variables
   529   - markup for types of term variables (displayed as tooltips)
   530   - support for user-defined Isar commands within the running session
   531   - improved support for Unicode outside original 16bit range
   532     e.g. glyph for \<A> (thanks to jEdit 4.5.1)
   533 
   534 * Forward declaration of outer syntax keywords within the theory
   535 header -- minor INCOMPATIBILITY for user-defined commands.  Allow new
   536 commands to be used in the same theory where defined.
   537 
   538 * Auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for specifications with
   539 additional parameters and assumptions.  Such unnamed contexts may be
   540 nested within other targets, like 'theory', 'locale', 'class',
   541 'instantiation' etc.  Results from the local context are generalized
   542 accordingly and applied to the enclosing target context.  Example:
   543 
   544   context
   545     fixes x y z :: 'a
   546     assumes xy: "x = y" and yz: "y = z"
   547   begin
   548 
   549   lemma my_trans: "x = z" using xy yz by simp
   550 
   551   end
   552 
   553   thm my_trans
   554 
   555 The most basic application is to factor-out context elements of
   556 several fixes/assumes/shows theorem statements, e.g. see
   557 ~~/src/HOL/Isar_Examples/Group_Context.thy
   558 
   559 Any other local theory specification element works within the "context
   560 ... begin ... end" block as well.
   561 
   562 * Bundled declarations associate attributed fact expressions with a
   563 given name in the context.  These may be later included in other
   564 contexts.  This allows to manage context extensions casually, without
   565 the logical dependencies of locales and locale interpretation.  See
   566 commands 'bundle', 'include', 'including' etc. in the isar-ref manual.
   567 
   568 * Commands 'lemmas' and 'theorems' allow local variables using 'for'
   569 declaration, and results are standardized before being stored.  Thus
   570 old-style "standard" after instantiation or composition of facts
   571 becomes obsolete.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, due to potential change of
   572 indices of schematic variables.
   573 
   574 * Rule attributes in local theory declarations (e.g. locale or class)
   575 are now statically evaluated: the resulting theorem is stored instead
   576 of the original expression.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
   577 the historic accident of dynamic re-evaluation in interpretations
   578 etc. was exploited.
   579 
   580 * New tutorial "Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL"
   581 ("prog-prove").  It completely supersedes "A Tutorial Introduction to
   582 Structured Isar Proofs" ("isar-overview"), which has been removed.  It
   583 also supersedes "Isabelle/HOL, A Proof Assistant for Higher-Order
   584 Logic" as the recommended beginners tutorial, but does not cover all
   585 of the material of that old tutorial.
   586 
   587 * Updated and extended reference manuals: "isar-ref",
   588 "implementation", "system"; reduced remaining material in old "ref"
   589 manual.
   590 
   591 
   592 *** Pure ***
   593 
   594 * Command 'definition' no longer exports the foundational "raw_def"
   595 into the user context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, may use the regular
   596 "def" result with attribute "abs_def" to imitate the old version.
   597 
   598 * Attribute "abs_def" turns an equation of the form "f x y == t" into
   599 "f == %x y. t", which ensures that "simp" or "unfold" steps always
   600 expand it.  This also works for object-logic equality.  (Formerly
   601 undocumented feature.)
   602 
   603 * Sort constraints are now propagated in simultaneous statements, just
   604 like type constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
   605 distinct sorts used to be assigned accidentally.  For example:
   606 
   607   lemma "P (x::'a::foo)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"  -- "now illegal"
   608 
   609   lemma "P (x::'a)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"
   610     -- "now uniform 'a::bar instead of default sort for first occurrence (!)"
   611 
   612 * Rule composition via attribute "OF" (or ML functions OF/MRS) is more
   613 tolerant against multiple unifiers, as long as the final result is
   614 unique.  (As before, rules are composed in canonical right-to-left
   615 order to accommodate newly introduced premises.)
   616 
   617 * Renamed some inner syntax categories:
   618 
   619     num ~> num_token
   620     xnum ~> xnum_token
   621     xstr ~> str_token
   622 
   623 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that in practice "num_const" or
   624 "num_position" etc. are mainly used instead (which also include
   625 position information via constraints).
   626 
   627 * Simplified configuration options for syntax ambiguity: see
   628 "syntax_ambiguity_warning" and "syntax_ambiguity_limit" in isar-ref
   629 manual.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   630 
   631 * Discontinued configuration option "syntax_positions": atomic terms
   632 in parse trees are always annotated by position constraints.
   633 
   634 * Old code generator for SML and its commands 'code_module',
   635 'code_library', 'consts_code', 'types_code' have been discontinued.
   636 Use commands of the generic code generator instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   637 
   638 * Redundant attribute "code_inline" has been discontinued. Use
   639 "code_unfold" instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   640 
   641 * Dropped attribute "code_unfold_post" in favor of the its dual
   642 "code_abbrev", which yields a common pattern in definitions like
   643 
   644   definition [code_abbrev]: "f = t"
   645 
   646 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   647 
   648 * Obsolete 'types' command has been discontinued.  Use 'type_synonym'
   649 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   650 
   651 * Discontinued old "prems" fact, which used to refer to the accidental
   652 collection of foundational premises in the context (already marked as
   653 legacy since Isabelle2011).
   654 
   655 
   656 *** HOL ***
   657 
   658 * Type 'a set is now a proper type constructor (just as before
   659 Isabelle2008).  Definitions mem_def and Collect_def have disappeared.
   660 Non-trivial INCOMPATIBILITY.  For developments keeping predicates and
   661 sets separate, it is often sufficient to rephrase some set S that has
   662 been accidentally used as predicates by "%x. x : S", and some
   663 predicate P that has been accidentally used as set by "{x. P x}".
   664 Corresponding proofs in a first step should be pruned from any
   665 tinkering with former theorems mem_def and Collect_def as far as
   666 possible.
   667 
   668 For developments which deliberately mix predicates and sets, a
   669 planning step is necessary to determine what should become a predicate
   670 and what a set.  It can be helpful to carry out that step in
   671 Isabelle2011-1 before jumping right into the current release.
   672 
   673 * Code generation by default implements sets as container type rather
   674 than predicates.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   675 
   676 * New type synonym 'a rel = ('a * 'a) set
   677 
   678 * The representation of numerals has changed.  Datatype "num"
   679 represents strictly positive binary numerals, along with functions
   680 "numeral :: num => 'a" and "neg_numeral :: num => 'a" to represent
   681 positive and negated numeric literals, respectively.  See also
   682 definitions in ~~/src/HOL/Num.thy.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, some
   683 user theories may require adaptations as follows:
   684 
   685   - Theorems with number_ring or number_semiring constraints: These
   686     classes are gone; use comm_ring_1 or comm_semiring_1 instead.
   687 
   688   - Theories defining numeric types: Remove number, number_semiring,
   689     and number_ring instances. Defer all theorems about numerals until
   690     after classes one and semigroup_add have been instantiated.
   691 
   692   - Numeral-only simp rules: Replace each rule having a "number_of v"
   693     pattern with two copies, one for numeral and one for neg_numeral.
   694 
   695   - Theorems about subclasses of semiring_1 or ring_1: These classes
   696     automatically support numerals now, so more simp rules and
   697     simprocs may now apply within the proof.
   698 
   699   - Definitions and theorems using old constructors Pls/Min/Bit0/Bit1:
   700     Redefine using other integer operations.
   701 
   702 * Transfer: New package intended to generalize the existing
   703 "descending" method and related theorem attributes from the Quotient
   704 package.  (Not all functionality is implemented yet, but future
   705 development will focus on Transfer as an eventual replacement for the
   706 corresponding parts of the Quotient package.)
   707 
   708   - transfer_rule attribute: Maintains a collection of transfer rules,
   709     which relate constants at two different types. Transfer rules may
   710     relate different type instances of the same polymorphic constant,
   711     or they may relate an operation on a raw type to a corresponding
   712     operation on an abstract type (quotient or subtype). For example:
   713 
   714     ((A ===> B) ===> list_all2 A ===> list_all2 B) map map
   715     (cr_int ===> cr_int ===> cr_int) (%(x,y) (u,v). (x+u, y+v)) plus_int
   716 
   717   - transfer method: Replaces a subgoal on abstract types with an
   718     equivalent subgoal on the corresponding raw types. Constants are
   719     replaced with corresponding ones according to the transfer rules.
   720     Goals are generalized over all free variables by default; this is
   721     necessary for variables whose types change, but can be overridden
   722     for specific variables with e.g. "transfer fixing: x y z".  The
   723     variant transfer' method allows replacing a subgoal with one that
   724     is logically stronger (rather than equivalent).
   725 
   726   - relator_eq attribute: Collects identity laws for relators of
   727     various type constructors, e.g. "list_all2 (op =) = (op =)".  The
   728     transfer method uses these lemmas to infer transfer rules for
   729     non-polymorphic constants on the fly.
   730 
   731   - transfer_prover method: Assists with proving a transfer rule for a
   732     new constant, provided the constant is defined in terms of other
   733     constants that already have transfer rules. It should be applied
   734     after unfolding the constant definitions.
   735 
   736   - HOL/ex/Transfer_Int_Nat.thy: Example theory demonstrating transfer
   737     from type nat to type int.
   738 
   739 * Lifting: New package intended to generalize the quotient_definition
   740 facility of the Quotient package; designed to work with Transfer.
   741 
   742   - lift_definition command: Defines operations on an abstract type in
   743     terms of a corresponding operation on a representation
   744     type.  Example syntax:
   745 
   746     lift_definition dlist_insert :: "'a => 'a dlist => 'a dlist"
   747       is List.insert
   748 
   749     Users must discharge a respectfulness proof obligation when each
   750     constant is defined. (For a type copy, i.e. a typedef with UNIV,
   751     the proof is discharged automatically.) The obligation is
   752     presented in a user-friendly, readable form; a respectfulness
   753     theorem in the standard format and a transfer rule are generated
   754     by the package.
   755 
   756   - Integration with code_abstype: For typedefs (e.g. subtypes
   757     corresponding to a datatype invariant, such as dlist),
   758     lift_definition generates a code certificate theorem and sets up
   759     code generation for each constant.
   760 
   761   - setup_lifting command: Sets up the Lifting package to work with a
   762     user-defined type. The user must provide either a quotient theorem
   763     or a type_definition theorem.  The package configures transfer
   764     rules for equality and quantifiers on the type, and sets up the
   765     lift_definition command to work with the type.
   766 
   767   - Usage examples: See Quotient_Examples/Lift_DList.thy,
   768     Quotient_Examples/Lift_RBT.thy, Quotient_Examples/Lift_FSet.thy,
   769     Word/Word.thy and Library/Float.thy.
   770 
   771 * Quotient package:
   772 
   773   - The 'quotient_type' command now supports a 'morphisms' option with
   774     rep and abs functions, similar to typedef.
   775 
   776   - 'quotient_type' sets up new types to work with the Lifting and
   777     Transfer packages, as with 'setup_lifting'.
   778 
   779   - The 'quotient_definition' command now requires the user to prove a
   780     respectfulness property at the point where the constant is
   781     defined, similar to lift_definition; INCOMPATIBILITY.
   782 
   783   - Renamed predicate 'Quotient' to 'Quotient3', and renamed theorems
   784     accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.
   785 
   786 * New diagnostic command 'find_unused_assms' to find potentially
   787 superfluous assumptions in theorems using Quickcheck.
   788 
   789 * Quickcheck:
   790 
   791   - Quickcheck returns variable assignments as counterexamples, which
   792     allows to reveal the underspecification of functions under test.
   793     For example, refuting "hd xs = x", it presents the variable
   794     assignment xs = [] and x = a1 as a counterexample, assuming that
   795     any property is false whenever "hd []" occurs in it.
   796 
   797     These counterexample are marked as potentially spurious, as
   798     Quickcheck also returns "xs = []" as a counterexample to the
   799     obvious theorem "hd xs = hd xs".
   800 
   801     After finding a potentially spurious counterexample, Quickcheck
   802     continues searching for genuine ones.
   803 
   804     By default, Quickcheck shows potentially spurious and genuine
   805     counterexamples. The option "genuine_only" sets quickcheck to only
   806     show genuine counterexamples.
   807 
   808   - The command 'quickcheck_generator' creates random and exhaustive
   809     value generators for a given type and operations.
   810 
   811     It generates values by using the operations as if they were
   812     constructors of that type.
   813 
   814   - Support for multisets.
   815 
   816   - Added "use_subtype" options.
   817 
   818   - Added "quickcheck_locale" configuration to specify how to process
   819     conjectures in a locale context.
   820 
   821 * Nitpick: Fixed infinite loop caused by the 'peephole_optim' option
   822 and affecting 'rat' and 'real'.
   823 
   824 * Sledgehammer:
   825   - Integrated more tightly with SPASS, as described in the ITP 2012
   826     paper "More SPASS with Isabelle".
   827   - Made it try "smt" as a fallback if "metis" fails or times out.
   828   - Added support for the following provers: Alt-Ergo (via Why3 and
   829     TFF1), iProver, iProver-Eq.
   830   - Sped up the minimizer.
   831   - Added "lam_trans", "uncurry_aliases", and "minimize" options.
   832   - Renamed "slicing" ("no_slicing") option to "slice" ("dont_slice").
   833   - Renamed "sound" option to "strict".
   834 
   835 * Metis: Added possibility to specify lambda translations scheme as a
   836 parenthesized argument (e.g., "by (metis (lifting) ...)").
   837 
   838 * SMT: Renamed "smt_fixed" option to "smt_read_only_certificates".
   839 
   840 * Command 'try0': Renamed from 'try_methods'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
   841 
   842 * New "case_product" attribute to generate a case rule doing multiple
   843 case distinctions at the same time.  E.g.
   844 
   845   list.exhaust [case_product nat.exhaust]
   846 
   847 produces a rule which can be used to perform case distinction on both
   848 a list and a nat.
   849 
   850 * New "eventually_elim" method as a generalized variant of the
   851 eventually_elim* rules.  Supports structured proofs.
   852 
   853 * Typedef with implicit set definition is considered legacy.  Use
   854 "typedef (open)" form instead, which will eventually become the
   855 default.
   856 
   857 * Record: code generation can be switched off manually with
   858 
   859   declare [[record_coden = false]]  -- "default true"
   860 
   861 * Datatype: type parameters allow explicit sort constraints.
   862 
   863 * Concrete syntax for case expressions includes constraints for source
   864 positions, and thus produces Prover IDE markup for its bindings.
   865 INCOMPATIBILITY for old-style syntax translations that augment the
   866 pattern notation; e.g. see src/HOL/HOLCF/One.thy for translations of
   867 one_case.
   868 
   869 * Clarified attribute "mono_set": pure declaration without modifying
   870 the result of the fact expression.
   871 
   872 * More default pred/set conversions on a couple of relation operations
   873 and predicates.  Added powers of predicate relations.  Consolidation
   874 of some relation theorems:
   875 
   876   converse_def ~> converse_unfold
   877   rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
   878   symp_def ~> (modified, use symp_def and sym_def instead)
   879   transp_def ~> transp_trans
   880   Domain_def ~> Domain_unfold
   881   Range_def ~> Domain_converse [symmetric]
   882 
   883 Generalized theorems INF_INT_eq, INF_INT_eq2, SUP_UN_eq, SUP_UN_eq2.
   884 
   885 See theory "Relation" for examples for making use of pred/set
   886 conversions by means of attributes "to_set" and "to_pred".
   887 
   888 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   889 
   890 * Renamed facts about the power operation on relations, i.e., relpow
   891 to match the constant's name:
   892 
   893   rel_pow_1 ~> relpow_1
   894   rel_pow_0_I ~> relpow_0_I
   895   rel_pow_Suc_I ~> relpow_Suc_I
   896   rel_pow_Suc_I2 ~> relpow_Suc_I2
   897   rel_pow_0_E ~> relpow_0_E
   898   rel_pow_Suc_E ~> relpow_Suc_E

  1268 * New theory HOL/Library/DAList provides an abstract type for
  1269 association lists with distinct keys.
  1270 
  1271 * Session HOL/IMP: Added new theory of abstract interpretation of
  1272 annotated commands.
  1273 
  1274 * Session HOL-Import: Re-implementation from scratch is faster,
  1275 simpler, and more scalable.  Requires a proof bundle, which is
  1276 available as an external component.  Discontinued old (and mostly
  1277 dead) Importer for HOL4 and HOL Light.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1278 
  1279 * Session HOL-Word: Discontinued many redundant theorems specific to
  1280 type 'a word. INCOMPATIBILITY, use the corresponding generic theorems
  1281 instead.

  1325 * Session HOL-Word: New proof method "word_bitwise" for splitting
  1326 machine word equalities and inequalities into logical circuits,
  1327 defined in HOL/Word/WordBitwise.thy.  Supports addition, subtraction,
  1328 multiplication, shifting by constants, bitwise operators and numeric
  1329 constants.  Requires fixed-length word types, not 'a word.  Solves
  1330 many standard word identities outright and converts more into first
  1331 order problems amenable to blast or similar.  See also examples in
  1332 HOL/Word/Examples/WordExamples.thy.
  1333 
  1334 * Session HOL-Probability: Introduced the type "'a measure" to
  1335 represent measures, this replaces the records 'a algebra and 'a
  1336 measure_space.  The locales based on subset_class now have two
  1337 locale-parameters the space \<Omega> and the set of measurable sets M.
  1338 The product of probability spaces uses now the same constant as the
  1339 finite product of sigma-finite measure spaces "PiM :: ('i => 'a)
  1340 measure".  Most constants are defined now outside of locales and gain
  1341 an additional parameter, like null_sets, almost_eventually or \<mu>'.
  1342 Measure space constructions for distributions and densities now got
  1343 their own constants distr and density.  Instead of using locales to
  1344 describe measure spaces with a finite space, the measure count_space
  1345 and point_measure is introduced.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1346 
  1347   Renamed constants:
  1348   measure -> emeasure

  1350   product_algebra_generator -> prod_algebra
  1351   product_prob_space.emb -> prod_emb

  1364   pair_finite_space
  1365   pair_sigma_algebra
  1366   product_sigma_algebra
  1367 
  1368   Removed constants:
  1369   conditional_space
  1370   distribution -> use distr measure, or distributed predicate
  1371   image_space
  1372   joint_distribution -> use distr measure, or distributed predicate

  1507 * Session HOL-TPTP: support to parse and import TPTP problems (all
  1508 languages) into Isabelle/HOL.
  1509 
  1510 
  1511 *** FOL ***
  1512 
  1513 * New "case_product" attribute (see HOL).
  1514 
  1515 
  1516 *** ZF ***
  1517 
  1518 * Greater support for structured proofs involving induction or case
  1519 analysis.
  1520 
  1521 * Much greater use of mathematical symbols.
  1522 
  1523 * Removal of many ML theorem bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1524 
  1525 
  1526 *** ML ***
  1527 
  1528 * Antiquotation @{keyword "name"} produces a parser for outer syntax
  1529 from a minor keyword introduced via theory header declaration.
  1530 
  1531 * Antiquotation @{command_spec "name"} produces the
  1532 Outer_Syntax.command_spec from a major keyword introduced via theory
  1533 header declaration; it can be passed to Outer_Syntax.command etc.
  1534 
  1535 * Local_Theory.define no longer hard-wires default theorem name
  1536 "foo_def", but retains the binding as given.  If that is Binding.empty
  1537 / Attrib.empty_binding, the result is not registered as user-level
  1538 fact.  The Local_Theory.define_internal variant allows to specify a
  1539 non-empty name (used for the foundation in the background theory),
  1540 while omitting the fact binding in the user-context.  Potential
  1541 INCOMPATIBILITY for derived definitional packages: need to specify
  1542 naming policy for primitive definitions more explicitly.
  1543 
  1544 * Renamed Thm.capply to Thm.apply, and Thm.cabs to Thm.lambda in
  1545 conformance with similar operations in structure Term and Logic.
  1546 
  1547 * Antiquotation @{attributes [...]} embeds attribute source
  1548 representation into the ML text, which is particularly useful with
  1549 declarations like Local_Theory.note.
  1550 
  1551 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  1552 ProofContext has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1553 
  1554 * Refined Local_Theory.declaration {syntax, pervasive}, with subtle
  1555 change of semantics: update is applied to auxiliary local theory
  1556 context as well.
  1557 
  1558 * Modernized some old-style infix operations:
  1559 
  1560   addeqcongs    ~> Simplifier.add_eqcong
  1561   deleqcongs    ~> Simplifier.del_eqcong
  1562   addcongs      ~> Simplifier.add_cong

  1570   addsplits     ~> Splitter.add_split
  1571   delsplits     ~> Splitter.del_split
  1572 
  1573 
  1574 *** System ***
  1575 
  1576 * USER_HOME settings variable points to cross-platform user home
  1577 directory, which coincides with HOME on POSIX systems only.  Likewise,
  1578 the Isabelle path specification "~" now expands to $USER_HOME, instead
  1579 of former $HOME.  A different default for USER_HOME may be set
  1580 explicitly in shell environment, before Isabelle settings are
  1581 evaluated.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: need to adapt Isabelle path where
  1582 the generic user home was intended.
  1583 
  1584 * ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS refers to ISABELLE_HOME in windows file name
  1585 notation, which is useful for the jEdit file browser, for example.
  1586 
  1587 * ISABELLE_JDK_HOME settings variable points to JDK with javac and jar
  1588 (not just JRE).
  1589

  1592 New in Isabelle2011-1 (October 2011)
  1593 ------------------------------------
  1594 
  1595 *** General ***
  1596 
  1597 * Improved Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE (PIDE), which can be invoked as
  1598 "isabelle jedit" or "ISABELLE_HOME/Isabelle" on the command line.
  1599 
  1600   - Management of multiple theory files directly from the editor
  1601     buffer store -- bypassing the file-system (no requirement to save
  1602     files for checking).
  1603 
  1604   - Markup of formal entities within the text buffer, with semantic
  1605     highlighting, tooltips and hyperlinks to jump to defining source
  1606     positions.
  1607 
  1608   - Improved text rendering, with sub/superscripts in the source
  1609     buffer (including support for copy/paste wrt. output panel, HTML
  1610     theory output and other non-Isabelle text boxes).
  1611 
  1612   - Refined scheduling of proof checking and printing of results,
  1613     based on interactive editor view.  (Note: jEdit folding and
  1614     narrowing allows to restrict buffer perspectives explicitly.)
  1615 
  1616   - Reduced CPU performance requirements, usable on machines with few
  1617     cores.
  1618 
  1619   - Reduced memory requirements due to pruning of unused document
  1620     versions (garbage collection).
  1621 
  1622 See also ~~/src/Tools/jEdit/README.html for further information,
  1623 including some remaining limitations.
  1624 
  1625 * Theory loader: source files are exclusively located via the master
  1626 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  1627 The global load path (such as src/HOL/Library) has been discontinued.
  1628 Note that the path element ~~ may be used to reference theories in the
  1629 Isabelle home folder -- for instance, "~~/src/HOL/Library/FuncSet".
  1630 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1631 
  1632 * Theory loader: source files are identified by content via SHA1
  1633 digests.  Discontinued former path/modtime identification and optional
  1634 ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT plugin scripts.
  1635 
  1636 * Parallelization of nested Isar proofs is subject to
  1637 Goal.parallel_proofs_threshold (default 100).  See also isabelle
  1638 usedir option -Q.
  1639 
  1640 * Name space: former unsynchronized references are now proper
  1641 configuration options, with more conventional names:
  1642 
  1643   long_names   ~> names_long
  1644   short_names  ~> names_short
  1645   unique_names ~> names_unique
  1646 
  1647 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, need to declare options in context like this:
  1648 
  1649   declare [[names_unique = false]]
  1650 
  1651 * Literal facts `prop` may contain dummy patterns, e.g. `_ = _`.  Note
  1652 that the result needs to be unique, which means fact specifications
  1653 may have to be refined after enriching a proof context.
  1654 
  1655 * Attribute "case_names" has been refined: the assumptions in each case
  1656 can be named now by following the case name with [name1 name2 ...].
  1657 
  1658 * Isabelle/Isar reference manual has been updated and extended:
  1659   - "Synopsis" provides a catalog of main Isar language concepts.
  1660   - Formal references in syntax diagrams, via @{rail} antiquotation.
  1661   - Updated material from classic "ref" manual, notably about
  1662     "Classical Reasoner".

  1666 
  1667 * Class bot and top require underlying partial order rather than
  1668 preorder: uniqueness of bot and top is guaranteed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1669 
  1670 * Class complete_lattice: generalized a couple of lemmas from sets;
  1671 generalized theorems INF_cong and SUP_cong.  New type classes for
  1672 complete boolean algebras and complete linear orders.  Lemmas
  1673 Inf_less_iff, less_Sup_iff, INF_less_iff, less_SUP_iff now reside in
  1674 class complete_linorder.
  1675 
  1676 Changed proposition of lemmas Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, Inf_fun_def,
  1677 Sup_fun_def, Inf_apply, Sup_apply.
  1678 
  1679 Removed redundant lemmas (the right hand side gives hints how to
  1680 replace them for (metis ...), or (simp only: ...) proofs):
  1681 
  1682   Inf_singleton ~> Inf_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Inf_empty inf_top_right]
  1683   Sup_singleton ~> Sup_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Sup_empty sup_bot_right]
  1684   Inf_binary ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  1685   Sup_binary ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  1686   Int_eq_Inter ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right

  1691   UN_eq ~> SUP_def, and image_def
  1692   INF_subset ~> INF_superset_mono [OF _ order_refl]
  1693 
  1694 More consistent and comprehensive names:
  1695 
  1696   INTER_eq_Inter_image ~> INF_def
  1697   UNION_eq_Union_image ~> SUP_def
  1698   INFI_def ~> INF_def

  1711   UNION_def ~> UNION_eq
  1712 
  1713 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1714 
  1715 * Renamed theory Complete_Lattice to Complete_Lattices.
  1716 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1717 
  1718 * Theory Complete_Lattices: lemmas Inf_eq_top_iff, INF_eq_top_iff,
  1719 INF_image, Inf_insert, INF_top, Inf_top_conv, INF_top_conv, SUP_bot,
  1720 Sup_bot_conv, SUP_bot_conv, Sup_eq_top_iff, SUP_eq_top_iff, SUP_image,
  1721 Sup_insert are now declared as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1722 
  1723 * Theory Lattice: lemmas compl_inf_bot, compl_le_comp_iff,
  1724 compl_sup_top, inf_idem, inf_left_idem, inf_sup_absorb, sup_idem,
  1725 sup_inf_absob, sup_left_idem are now declared as [simp].  Minor
  1726 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1727 
  1728 * Added syntactic classes "inf" and "sup" for the respective
  1729 constants.  INCOMPATIBILITY: Changes in the argument order of the
  1730 (mostly internal) locale predicates for some derived classes.
  1731 
  1732 * Theorem collections ball_simps and bex_simps do not contain theorems
  1733 referring to UNION any longer; these have been moved to collection
  1734 UN_ball_bex_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1735 
  1736 * Theory Archimedean_Field: floor now is defined as parameter of a
  1737 separate type class floor_ceiling.
  1738 
  1739 * Theory Finite_Set: more coherent development of fold_set locales:
  1740 
  1741     locale fun_left_comm ~> locale comp_fun_commute
  1742     locale fun_left_comm_idem ~> locale comp_fun_idem
  1743 
  1744 Both use point-free characterization; interpretation proofs may need
  1745 adjustment.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1746 
  1747 * Theory Limits: Type "'a net" has been renamed to "'a filter", in
  1748 accordance with standard mathematical terminology. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1749 
  1750 * Theory Complex_Main: The locale interpretations for the
  1751 bounded_linear and bounded_bilinear locales have been removed, in
  1752 order to reduce the number of duplicate lemmas. Users must use the
  1753 original names for distributivity theorems, potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

  1849 * Theory Complex_Main: The definition of infinite series was
  1850 generalized.  Now it is defined on the type class {topological_space,
  1851 comm_monoid_add}.  Hence it is useable also for extended real numbers.
  1852 
  1853 * Theory Complex_Main: The complex exponential function "expi" is now
  1854 a type-constrained abbreviation for "exp :: complex => complex"; thus
  1855 several polymorphic lemmas about "exp" are now applicable to "expi".
  1856 
  1857 * Code generation:
  1858 
  1859   - Theory Library/Code_Char_ord provides native ordering of
  1860     characters in the target language.
  1861 
  1862   - Commands code_module and code_library are legacy, use export_code
  1863     instead.
  1864 
  1865   - Method "evaluation" is legacy, use method "eval" instead.
  1866 
  1867   - Legacy evaluator "SML" is deactivated by default.  May be
  1868     reactivated by the following theory command:
  1869 
  1870       setup {* Value.add_evaluator ("SML", Codegen.eval_term) *}
  1871 
  1872 * Declare ext [intro] by default.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1873 
  1874 * New proof method "induction" that gives induction hypotheses the
  1875 name "IH", thus distinguishing them from further hypotheses that come
  1876 from rule induction.  The latter are still called "hyps".  Method
  1877 "induction" is a thin wrapper around "induct" and follows the same
  1878 syntax.
  1879 
  1880 * Method "fastsimp" has been renamed to "fastforce", but "fastsimp" is
  1881 still available as a legacy feature for some time.
  1882 
  1883 * Nitpick:
  1884   - Added "need" and "total_consts" options.
  1885   - Reintroduced "show_skolems" option by popular demand.
  1886   - Renamed attribute: nitpick_def ~> nitpick_unfold.
  1887     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1888 
  1889 * Sledgehammer:
  1890   - Use quasi-sound (and efficient) translations by default.
  1891   - Added support for the following provers: E-ToFoF, LEO-II,
  1892     Satallax, SNARK, Waldmeister, and Z3 with TPTP syntax.
  1893   - Automatically preplay and minimize proofs before showing them if
  1894     this can be done within reasonable time.
  1895   - sledgehammer available_provers ~> sledgehammer supported_provers.
  1896     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1897   - Added "preplay_timeout", "slicing", "type_enc", "sound",
  1898     "max_mono_iters", and "max_new_mono_instances" options.
  1899   - Removed "explicit_apply" and "full_types" options as well as "Full
  1900     Types" Proof General menu item. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1901 
  1902 * Metis:
  1903   - Removed "metisF" -- use "metis" instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1904   - Obsoleted "metisFT" -- use "metis (full_types)" instead.
  1905     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1906 
  1907 * Command 'try':
  1908   - Renamed 'try_methods' and added "simp:", "intro:", "dest:", and
  1909     "elim:" options. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1910   - Introduced 'try' that not only runs 'try_methods' but also
  1911     'solve_direct', 'sledgehammer', 'quickcheck', and 'nitpick'.
  1912 
  1913 * Quickcheck:
  1914   - Added "eval" option to evaluate terms for the found counterexample
  1915     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  1916   - Added post-processing of terms to obtain readable counterexamples
  1917     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  1918   - New counterexample generator quickcheck[narrowing] enables
  1919     narrowing-based testing.  Requires the Glasgow Haskell compiler
  1920     with its installation location defined in the Isabelle settings
  1921     environment as ISABELLE_GHC.
  1922   - Removed quickcheck tester "SML" based on the SML code generator
  1923     (formly in HOL/Library).
  1924 
  1925 * Function package: discontinued option "tailrec".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  1926 use 'partial_function' instead.
  1927 
  1928 * Theory Library/Extended_Reals replaces now the positive extended
  1929 reals found in probability theory. This file is extended by
  1930 Multivariate_Analysis/Extended_Real_Limits.
  1931 
  1932 * Theory Library/Old_Recdef: old 'recdef' package has been moved here,
  1933 from where it must be imported explicitly if it is really required.
  1934 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1935 
  1936 * Theory Library/Wfrec: well-founded recursion combinator "wfrec" has
  1937 been moved here.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1938 
  1939 * Theory Library/Saturated provides type of numbers with saturated
  1940 arithmetic.
  1941 
  1942 * Theory Library/Product_Lattice defines a pointwise ordering for the
  1943 product type 'a * 'b, and provides instance proofs for various order
  1944 and lattice type classes.
  1945 
  1946 * Theory Library/Countable now provides the "countable_datatype" proof
  1947 method for proving "countable" class instances for datatypes.
  1948 
  1949 * Theory Library/Cset_Monad allows do notation for computable sets
  1950 (cset) via the generic monad ad-hoc overloading facility.
  1951 
  1952 * Library: Theories of common data structures are split into theories
  1953 for implementation, an invariant-ensuring type, and connection to an
  1954 abstract type. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1955 
  1956   - RBT is split into RBT and RBT_Mapping.
  1957   - AssocList is split and renamed into AList and AList_Mapping.
  1958   - DList is split into DList_Impl, DList, and DList_Cset.
  1959   - Cset is split into Cset and List_Cset.
  1960 
  1961 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity has been renamed to
  1962 Library/Extended_Nat, with name changes of the following types and
  1963 constants:
  1964 
  1965   type inat   ~> type enat
  1966   Fin         ~> enat
  1967   Infty       ~> infinity (overloaded)
  1968   iSuc        ~> eSuc
  1969   the_Fin     ~> the_enat
  1970 
  1971 Every theorem name containing "inat", "Fin", "Infty", or "iSuc" has
  1972 been renamed accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1973 
  1974 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: The euclidean_space type class now
  1975 fixes a constant "Basis :: 'a set" consisting of the standard
  1976 orthonormal basis for the type. Users now have the option of
  1977 quantifying over this set instead of using the "basis" function, e.g.
  1978 "ALL x:Basis. P x" vs "ALL i<DIM('a). P (basis i)".
  1979 
  1980 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Type "('a, 'b) cart" has been renamed
  1981 to "('a, 'b) vec" (the syntax "'a ^ 'b" remains unaffected). Constants
  1982 "Cart_nth" and "Cart_lambda" have been respectively renamed to
  1983 "vec_nth" and "vec_lambda"; theorems mentioning those names have
  1984 changed to match. Definition theorems for overloaded constants now use
  1985 the standard "foo_vec_def" naming scheme. A few other theorems have
  1986 been renamed as follows (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  1987 
  1988   Cart_eq          ~> vec_eq_iff
  1989   dist_nth_le_cart ~> dist_vec_nth_le
  1990   tendsto_vector   ~> vec_tendstoI
  1991   Cauchy_vector    ~> vec_CauchyI
  1992 
  1993 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Several duplicate theorems have been
  1994 removed, and other theorems have been renamed or replaced with more
  1995 general versions. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2049 * Session HOL-Probability:
  2050   - Caratheodory's extension lemma is now proved for ring_of_sets.
  2051   - Infinite products of probability measures are now available.
  2052   - Sigma closure is independent, if the generator is independent
  2053   - Use extended reals instead of positive extended
  2054     reals. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2085 *** Document preparation ***
  2086 
  2087 * Antiquotation @{rail} layouts railroad syntax diagrams, see also
  2088 isar-ref manual, both for description and actual application of the
  2089 same.
  2090 
  2091 * Antiquotation @{value} evaluates the given term and presents its
  2092 result.
  2093 
  2094 * Antiquotations: term style "isub" provides ad-hoc conversion of
  2095 variables x1, y23 into subscripted form x\<^isub>1,
  2096 y\<^isub>2\<^isub>3.
  2097 
  2098 * Predefined LaTeX macros for Isabelle symbols \<bind> and \<then>
  2099 (e.g. see ~~/src/HOL/Library/Monad_Syntax.thy).
  2100 
  2101 * Localized \isabellestyle switch can be used within blocks or groups
  2102 like this:
  2103 
  2104   \isabellestyle{it}  %preferred default
  2105   {\isabellestylett @{text "typewriter stuff"}}
  2106 
  2107 * Discontinued special treatment of hard tabulators.  Implicit
  2108 tab-width is now defined as 1.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for visual
  2109 layouts.
  2110 
  2111 
  2112 *** ML ***
  2113 
  2114 * The inner syntax of sort/type/term/prop supports inlined YXML
  2115 representations within quoted string tokens.  By encoding logical
  2116 entities via Term_XML (in ML or Scala) concrete syntax can be
  2117 bypassed, which is particularly useful for producing bits of text
  2118 under external program control.
  2119 
  2120 * Antiquotations for ML and document preparation are managed as theory
  2121 data, which requires explicit setup.
  2122 
  2123 * Isabelle_Process.is_active allows tools to check if the official
  2124 process wrapper is running (Isabelle/Scala/jEdit) or the old TTY loop
  2125 (better known as Proof General).
  2126 
  2127 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  2128 ProofContext is still available for some time as legacy alias.
  2129 
  2130 * Structure Timing provides various operations for timing; supersedes
  2131 former start_timing/end_timing etc.
  2132 
  2133 * Path.print is the official way to show file-system paths to users
  2134 (including quotes etc.).
  2135 
  2136 * Inner syntax: identifiers in parse trees of generic categories
  2137 "logic", "aprop", "idt" etc. carry position information (disguised as
  2138 type constraints).  Occasional INCOMPATIBILITY with non-compliant
  2139 translations that choke on unexpected type constraints.  Positions can
  2140 be stripped in ML translations via Syntax.strip_positions /
  2141 Syntax.strip_positions_ast, or via the syntax constant
  2142 "_strip_positions" within parse trees.  As last resort, positions can
  2143 be disabled via the configuration option Syntax.positions, which is
  2144 called "syntax_positions" in Isar attribute syntax.
  2145 
  2146 * Discontinued special status of various ML structures that contribute
  2147 to structure Syntax (Ast, Lexicon, Mixfix, Parser, Printer etc.): less
  2148 pervasive content, no inclusion in structure Syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  2149 refer directly to Ast.Constant, Lexicon.is_identifier,
  2150 Syntax_Trans.mk_binder_tr etc.
  2151 
  2152 * Typed print translation: discontinued show_sorts argument, which is
  2153 already available via context of "advanced" translation.
  2154 
  2155 * Refined PARALLEL_GOALS tactical: degrades gracefully for schematic
  2156 goal states; body tactic needs to address all subgoals uniformly.
  2157 
  2158 * Slightly more special eq_list/eq_set, with shortcut involving
  2159 pointer equality (assumes that eq relation is reflexive).
  2160 
  2161 * Classical tactics use proper Proof.context instead of historic types
  2162 claset/clasimpset.  Old-style declarations like addIs, addEs, addDs
  2163 operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type claset retains its use as
  2164 snapshot of the classical context, which can be recovered via
  2165 (put_claset HOL_cs) etc.  Type clasimpset has been discontinued.
  2166 INCOMPATIBILITY, classical tactics and derived proof methods require
  2167 proper Proof.context.
  2168 
  2169 
  2170 *** System ***
  2171 
  2172 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2, which was the last version
  2173 without proper multithreading and TimeLimit implementation.
  2174 
  2175 * Discontinued old lib/scripts/polyml-platform, which has been
  2176 obsolete since Isabelle2009-2.
  2177 
  2178 * Various optional external tools are referenced more robustly and
  2179 uniformly by explicit Isabelle settings as follows:
  2180 
  2181   ISABELLE_CSDP   (formerly CSDP_EXE)
  2182   ISABELLE_GHC    (formerly EXEC_GHC or GHC_PATH)
  2183   ISABELLE_OCAML  (formerly EXEC_OCAML)
  2184   ISABELLE_SWIPL  (formerly EXEC_SWIPL)
  2185   ISABELLE_YAP    (formerly EXEC_YAP)
  2186 
  2187 Note that automated detection from the file-system or search path has
  2188 been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2189 
  2190 * Scala layer provides JVM method invocation service for static
  2191 methods of type (String)String, see Invoke_Scala.method in ML.  For
  2192 example:
  2193 
  2194   Invoke_Scala.method "java.lang.System.getProperty" "java.home"
  2195 
  2196 Together with YXML.string_of_body/parse_body and XML.Encode/Decode
  2197 this allows to pass structured values between ML and Scala.
  2198 
  2199 * The IsabelleText fonts includes some further glyphs to support the
  2200 Prover IDE.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: users who happen to have
  2201 installed a local copy (which is normally *not* required) need to
  2202 delete or update it from ~~/lib/fonts/.
  2203 
  2204 
  2205 
  2206 New in Isabelle2011 (January 2011)
  2207 ----------------------------------
  2208 
  2209 *** General ***
  2210 
  2211 * Experimental Prover IDE based on Isabelle/Scala and jEdit (see
  2212 src/Tools/jEdit).  This also serves as IDE for Isabelle/ML, with
  2213 useful tooltips and hyperlinks produced from its static analysis.  The
  2214 bundled component provides an executable Isabelle tool that can be run
  2215 like this:
  2216 
  2217   Isabelle2011/bin/isabelle jedit
  2218 
  2219 * Significantly improved Isabelle/Isar implementation manual.
  2220 
  2221 * System settings: ISABELLE_HOME_USER now includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER
  2222 (and thus refers to something like $HOME/.isabelle/Isabelle2011),
  2223 while the default heap location within that directory lacks that extra
  2224 suffix.  This isolates multiple Isabelle installations from each
  2225 other, avoiding problems with old settings in new versions.
  2226 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to copy/upgrade old user settings manually.
  2227 
  2228 * Source files are always encoded as UTF-8, instead of old-fashioned
  2229 ISO-Latin-1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Isabelle LaTeX documents might require
  2230 the following package declarations:
  2231 
  2232   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
  2233   \usepackage{textcomp}
  2234 
  2235 * Explicit treatment of UTF-8 sequences as Isabelle symbols, such that
  2236 a Unicode character is treated as a single symbol, not a sequence of
  2237 non-ASCII bytes as before.  Since Isabelle/ML string literals may
  2238 contain symbols without further backslash escapes, Unicode can now be
  2239 used here as well.  Recall that Symbol.explode in ML provides a
  2240 consistent view on symbols, while raw explode (or String.explode)
  2241 merely give a byte-oriented representation.
  2242 
  2243 * Theory loader: source files are primarily located via the master
  2244 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  2245 The global load path is still partially available as legacy feature.
  2246 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY due to subtle change in file lookup: use
  2247 explicit paths, relatively to the theory.
  2248 
  2249 * Special treatment of ML file names has been discontinued.
  2250 Historically, optional extensions .ML or .sml were added on demand --
  2251 at the cost of clarity of file dependencies.  Recall that Isabelle/ML
  2252 files exclusively use the .ML extension.  Minor INCOMPATIBILTY.
  2253 
  2254 * Various options that affect pretty printing etc. are now properly
  2255 handled within the context via configuration options, instead of
  2256 unsynchronized references or print modes.  There are both ML Config.T
  2257 entities and Isar declaration attributes to access these.
  2258 
  2259   ML (Config.T)                 Isar (attribute)

  2273   Goal_Display.goals_limit      goals_limit
  2274   Goal_Display.show_main_goal   show_main_goal
  2275 
  2276   Method.rule_trace             rule_trace
  2277 
  2278   Thy_Output.display            thy_output_display

  2282   Thy_Output.break              thy_output_break
  2283 
  2284 Note that corresponding "..._default" references in ML may only be
  2285 changed globally at the ROOT session setup, but *not* within a theory.
  2286 The option "show_abbrevs" supersedes the former print mode
  2287 "no_abbrevs" with inverted meaning.
  2288 
  2289 * More systematic naming of some configuration options.
  2290 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2291 
  2292   trace_simp  ~>  simp_trace
  2293   debug_simp  ~>  simp_debug
  2294 
  2295 * Support for real valued configuration options, using simplistic
  2296 floating-point notation that coincides with the inner syntax for
  2297 float_token.
  2298 
  2299 * Support for real valued preferences (with approximative PGIP type):
  2300 front-ends need to accept "pgint" values in float notation.
  2301 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2302 
  2303 * The IsabelleText font now includes Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic from
  2304 DejaVu Sans.
  2305 
  2306 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.0 and 5.1 versions.
  2307 
  2308 
  2309 *** Pure ***
  2310 
  2311 * Command 'type_synonym' (with single argument) replaces somewhat
  2312 outdated 'types', which is still available as legacy feature for some
  2313 time.
  2314 
  2315 * Command 'nonterminal' (with 'and' separated list of arguments)
  2316 replaces somewhat outdated 'nonterminals'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2317 
  2318 * Command 'notepad' replaces former 'example_proof' for
  2319 experimentation in Isar without any result.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2320 
  2321 * Locale interpretation commands 'interpret' and 'sublocale' accept
  2322 lists of equations to map definitions in a locale to appropriate
  2323 entities in the context of the interpretation.  The 'interpretation'
  2324 command already provided this functionality.
  2325 
  2326 * Diagnostic command 'print_dependencies' prints the locale instances
  2327 that would be activated if the specified expression was interpreted in
  2328 the current context.  Variant "print_dependencies!" assumes a context
  2329 without interpretations.
  2330 
  2331 * Diagnostic command 'print_interps' prints interpretations in proofs
  2332 in addition to interpretations in theories.
  2333 
  2334 * Discontinued obsolete 'global' and 'local' commands to manipulate
  2335 the theory name space.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.  The ML functions
  2336 Sign.root_path and Sign.local_path may be applied directly where this
  2337 feature is still required for historical reasons.
  2338 
  2339 * Discontinued obsolete 'constdefs' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  2340 'definition' instead.
  2341 
  2342 * The "prems" fact, which refers to the accidental collection of
  2343 foundational premises in the context, is now explicitly marked as
  2344 legacy feature and will be discontinued soon.  Consider using "assms"
  2345 of the head statement or reference facts by explicit names.
  2346 
  2347 * Document antiquotations @{class} and @{type} print classes and type
  2348 constructors.
  2349 
  2350 * Document antiquotation @{file} checks file/directory entries within
  2351 the local file system.
  2352 
  2353 
  2354 *** HOL ***
  2355 
  2356 * Coercive subtyping: functions can be declared as coercions and type
  2357 inference will add them as necessary upon input of a term.  Theory
  2358 Complex_Main declares real :: nat => real and real :: int => real as
  2359 coercions. A coercion function f is declared like this:
  2360 
  2361   declare [[coercion f]]
  2362 
  2363 To lift coercions through type constructors (e.g. from nat => real to
  2364 nat list => real list), map functions can be declared, e.g.
  2365 
  2366   declare [[coercion_map map]]
  2367 
  2368 Currently coercion inference is activated only in theories including
  2369 real numbers, i.e. descendants of Complex_Main.  This is controlled by
  2370 the configuration option "coercion_enabled", e.g. it can be enabled in
  2371 other theories like this:
  2372 
  2373   declare [[coercion_enabled]]
  2374 
  2375 * Command 'partial_function' provides basic support for recursive
  2376 function definitions over complete partial orders.  Concrete instances
  2377 are provided for i) the option type, ii) tail recursion on arbitrary
  2378 types, and iii) the heap monad of Imperative_HOL.  See
  2379 src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy and src/HOL/Imperative_HOL/ex/Linked_Lists.thy
  2380 for examples.
  2381 
  2382 * Function package: f.psimps rules are no longer implicitly declared
  2383 as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2384 
  2385 * Datatype package: theorems generated for executable equality (class
  2386 "eq") carry proper names and are treated as default code equations.
  2387 
  2388 * Inductive package: now offers command 'inductive_simps' to
  2389 automatically derive instantiated and simplified equations for
  2390 inductive predicates, similar to 'inductive_cases'.
  2391 
  2392 * Command 'enriched_type' allows to register properties of the
  2393 functorial structure of types.
  2394 
  2395 * Improved infrastructure for term evaluation using code generator
  2396 techniques, in particular static evaluation conversions.
  2397 
  2398 * Code generator: Scala (2.8 or higher) has been added to the target
  2399 languages.
  2400 
  2401 * Code generator: globbing constant expressions "*" and "Theory.*"
  2402 have been replaced by the more idiomatic "_" and "Theory._".
  2403 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2404 
  2405 * Code generator: export_code without explicit file declaration prints
  2406 to standard output.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2407 
  2408 * Code generator: do not print function definitions for case
  2409 combinators any longer.
  2410 
  2411 * Code generator: simplification with rules determined with
  2412 src/Tools/Code/code_simp.ML and method "code_simp".
  2413 
  2414 * Code generator for records: more idiomatic representation of record
  2415 types.  Warning: records are not covered by ancient SML code
  2416 generation any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  In cases of need, a suitable
  2417 rep_datatype declaration helps to succeed then:
  2418 
  2419   record 'a foo = ...
  2420   ...
  2421   rep_datatype foo_ext ...
  2422 
  2423 * Records: logical foundation type for records does not carry a
  2424 '_type' suffix any longer (obsolete due to authentic syntax).
  2425 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2426 
  2427 * Quickcheck now by default uses exhaustive testing instead of random
  2428 testing.  Random testing can be invoked by "quickcheck [random]",
  2429 exhaustive testing by "quickcheck [exhaustive]".
  2430 
  2431 * Quickcheck instantiates polymorphic types with small finite
  2432 datatypes by default. This enables a simple execution mechanism to
  2433 handle quantifiers and function equality over the finite datatypes.
  2434 
  2435 * Quickcheck random generator has been renamed from "code" to
  2436 "random".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2437 
  2438 * Quickcheck now has a configurable time limit which is set to 30
  2439 seconds by default. This can be changed by adding [timeout = n] to the
  2440 quickcheck command. The time limit for Auto Quickcheck is still set
  2441 independently.
  2442 
  2443 * Quickcheck in locales considers interpretations of that locale for
  2444 counter example search.
  2445 
  2446 * Sledgehammer:
  2447   - Added "smt" and "remote_smt" provers based on the "smt" proof
  2448     method. See the Sledgehammer manual for details ("isabelle doc
  2449     sledgehammer").
  2450   - Renamed commands:
  2451     sledgehammer atp_info ~> sledgehammer running_provers
  2452     sledgehammer atp_kill ~> sledgehammer kill_provers
  2453     sledgehammer available_atps ~> sledgehammer available_provers
  2454     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2455   - Renamed options:
  2456     sledgehammer [atps = ...] ~> sledgehammer [provers = ...]
  2457     sledgehammer [atp = ...] ~> sledgehammer [prover = ...]
  2458     sledgehammer [timeout = 77 s] ~> sledgehammer [timeout = 77]
  2459     (and "ms" and "min" are no longer supported)
  2460     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2461 
  2462 * Nitpick:
  2463   - Renamed options:
  2464     nitpick [timeout = 77 s] ~> nitpick [timeout = 77]
  2465     nitpick [tac_timeout = 777 ms] ~> nitpick [tac_timeout = 0.777]
  2466     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2467   - Added support for partial quotient types.
  2468   - Added local versions of the "Nitpick.register_xxx" functions.
  2469   - Added "whack" option.
  2470   - Allow registration of quotient types as codatatypes.
  2471   - Improved "merge_type_vars" option to merge more types.
  2472   - Removed unsound "fast_descrs" option.
  2473   - Added custom symmetry breaking for datatypes, making it possible to reach
  2474     higher cardinalities.
  2475   - Prevent the expansion of too large definitions.
  2476 
  2477 * Proof methods "metis" and "meson" now have configuration options
  2478 "meson_trace", "metis_trace", and "metis_verbose" that can be enabled
  2479 to diagnose these tools. E.g.
  2480 
  2481     using [[metis_trace = true]]
  2482 
  2483 * Auto Solve: Renamed "Auto Solve Direct".  The tool is now available
  2484 manually as command 'solve_direct'.
  2485 
  2486 * The default SMT solver Z3 must be enabled explicitly (due to
  2487 licensing issues) by setting the environment variable
  2488 Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL in etc/settings of the component, for example.  For
  2489 commercial applications, the SMT solver CVC3 is provided as fall-back;
  2490 changing the SMT solver is done via the configuration option
  2491 "smt_solver".
  2492 
  2493 * Remote SMT solvers need to be referred to by the "remote_" prefix,
  2494 i.e. "remote_cvc3" and "remote_z3".
  2495 
  2496 * Added basic SMT support for datatypes, records, and typedefs using
  2497 the oracle mode (no proofs).  Direct support of pairs has been dropped
  2498 in exchange (pass theorems fst_conv snd_conv pair_collapse to the SMT
  2499 support for a similar behavior).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2500 
  2501 * Changed SMT configuration options:
  2502   - Renamed:
  2503     z3_proofs ~> smt_oracle (with inverted meaning)
  2504     z3_trace_assms ~> smt_trace_used_facts
  2505     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2506   - Added:
  2507     smt_verbose
  2508     smt_random_seed
  2509     smt_datatypes
  2510     smt_infer_triggers
  2511     smt_monomorph_limit
  2512     cvc3_options
  2513     remote_cvc3_options
  2514     remote_z3_options
  2515     yices_options
  2516 
  2517 * Boogie output files (.b2i files) need to be declared in the theory
  2518 header.
  2519 
  2520 * Simplification procedure "list_to_set_comprehension" rewrites list
  2521 comprehensions applied to List.set to set comprehensions.  Occasional
  2522 INCOMPATIBILITY, may be deactivated like this:
  2523 
  2524   declare [[simproc del: list_to_set_comprehension]]
  2525 
  2526 * Removed old version of primrec package.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2527 
  2528 * Removed simplifier congruence rule of "prod_case", as has for long
  2529 been the case with "split".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2530 
  2531 * String.literal is a type, but not a datatype.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2532 
  2533 * Removed [split_format ... and ... and ...] version of
  2534 [split_format].  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2535 
  2536 * Predicate "sorted" now defined inductively, with nice induction
  2537 rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY: former sorted.simps now named sorted_simps.
  2538 
  2539 * Constant "contents" renamed to "the_elem", to free the generic name
  2540 contents for other uses.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2541 
  2542 * Renamed class eq and constant eq (for code generation) to class
  2543 equal and constant equal, plus renaming of related facts and various
  2544 tuning.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2545 
  2546 * Dropped type classes mult_mono and mult_mono1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2547 
  2548 * Removed output syntax "'a ~=> 'b" for "'a => 'b option".
  2549 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2550 
  2551 * Renamed theory Fset to Cset, type Fset.fset to Cset.set, in order to
  2552 avoid confusion with finite sets.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2553 
  2554 * Abandoned locales equiv, congruent and congruent2 for equivalence
  2555 relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use equivI rather than equiv_intro (same
  2556 for congruent(2)).
  2557 
  2558 * Some previously unqualified names have been qualified:
  2559 
  2560   types
  2561     bool ~> HOL.bool
  2562     nat ~> Nat.nat
  2563 
  2564   constants

  2567     False ~> HOL.False
  2568     op & ~> HOL.conj
  2569     op | ~> HOL.disj
  2570     op --> ~> HOL.implies
  2571     op = ~> HOL.eq

  2585     curry ~> Product_Type.curry
  2586     op : ~> Set.member
  2587     Collect ~> Set.Collect
  2588 
  2589 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2590 
  2591 * More canonical naming convention for some fundamental definitions:
  2592 
  2593     bot_bool_eq ~> bot_bool_def
  2594     top_bool_eq ~> top_bool_def
  2595     inf_bool_eq ~> inf_bool_def
  2596     sup_bool_eq ~> sup_bool_def
  2597     bot_fun_eq  ~> bot_fun_def
  2598     top_fun_eq  ~> top_fun_def
  2599     inf_fun_eq  ~> inf_fun_def
  2600     sup_fun_eq  ~> sup_fun_def
  2601 
  2602 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2603 
  2604 * More stylized fact names:
  2605 
  2606   expand_fun_eq ~> fun_eq_iff
  2607   expand_set_eq ~> set_eq_iff
  2608   set_ext       ~> set_eqI
  2609   nat_number    ~> eval_nat_numeral
  2610 
  2611 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2612 
  2613 * Refactoring of code-generation specific operations in theory List:
  2614 
  2615   constants
  2616     null ~> List.null
  2617 
  2618   facts
  2619     mem_iff ~> member_def
  2620     null_empty ~> null_def
  2621 
  2622 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that these were not supposed to be used
  2623 regularly unless for striking reasons; their main purpose was code
  2624 generation.
  2625 
  2626 Various operations from the Haskell prelude are used for generating
  2627 Haskell code.
  2628 
  2629 * Term "bij f" is now an abbreviation of "bij_betw f UNIV UNIV".  Term
  2630 "surj f" is now an abbreviation of "range f = UNIV".  The theorems
  2631 bij_def and surj_def are unchanged.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2632 
  2633 * Abolished some non-alphabetic type names: "prod" and "sum" replace
  2634 "*" and "+" respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2635 
  2636 * Name "Plus" of disjoint sum operator "<+>" is now hidden.  Write
  2637 "Sum_Type.Plus" instead.
  2638 
  2639 * Constant "split" has been merged with constant "prod_case"; names of
  2640 ML functions, facts etc. involving split have been retained so far,
  2641 though.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2642 
  2643 * Dropped old infix syntax "_ mem _" for List.member; use "_ : set _"
  2644 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2645 
  2646 * Removed lemma "Option.is_none_none" which duplicates "is_none_def".
  2647 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2648 
  2649 * Former theory Library/Enum is now part of the HOL-Main image.
  2650 INCOMPATIBILITY: all constants of the Enum theory now have to be
  2651 referred to by its qualified name.
  2652 
  2653   enum    ~>  Enum.enum
  2654   nlists  ~>  Enum.nlists
  2655   product ~>  Enum.product
  2656 
  2657 * Theory Library/Monad_Syntax provides do-syntax for monad types.
  2658 Syntax in Library/State_Monad has been changed to avoid ambiguities.
  2659 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2660 
  2661 * Theory Library/SetsAndFunctions has been split into
  2662 Library/Function_Algebras and Library/Set_Algebras; canonical names
  2663 for instance definitions for functions; various improvements.
  2664 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2665 
  2666 * Theory Library/Multiset provides stable quicksort implementation of
  2667 sort_key.
  2668 
  2669 * Theory Library/Multiset: renamed empty_idemp ~> empty_neutral.
  2670 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2671 
  2672 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: introduced a type class for euclidean
  2673 space.  Most theorems are now stated in terms of euclidean spaces
  2674 instead of finite cartesian products.
  2675 
  2676   types
  2677     real ^ 'n ~>  'a::real_vector
  2678               ~>  'a::euclidean_space
  2679               ~>  'a::ordered_euclidean_space
  2680         (depends on your needs)
  2681 
  2682   constants
  2683      _ $ _        ~> _ $$ _
  2684      \<chi> x. _  ~> \<chi>\<chi> x. _
  2685      CARD('n)     ~> DIM('a)
  2686 
  2687 Also note that the indices are now natural numbers and not from some
  2688 finite type. Finite cartesian products of euclidean spaces, products
  2689 of euclidean spaces the real and complex numbers are instantiated to
  2690 be euclidean_spaces.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2691 
  2692 * Session Probability: introduced pextreal as positive extended real
  2693 numbers.  Use pextreal as value for measures.  Introduce the
  2694 Radon-Nikodym derivative, product spaces and Fubini's theorem for
  2695 arbitrary sigma finite measures.  Introduces Lebesgue measure based on
  2696 the integral in Multivariate Analysis.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2697 
  2698 * Session Imperative_HOL: revamped, corrected dozens of inadequacies.
  2699 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2700 
  2701 * Session SPARK (with image HOL-SPARK) provides commands to load and
  2702 prove verification conditions generated by the SPARK Ada program
  2703 verifier.  See also src/HOL/SPARK and src/HOL/SPARK/Examples.
  2704 
  2705 
  2706 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  2707 
  2708 * Theorems for additive ring operations (locale abelian_monoid and
  2709 descendants) are generated by interpretation from their multiplicative
  2710 counterparts.  Names (in particular theorem names) have the mandatory
  2711 qualifier 'add'.  Previous theorem names are redeclared for
  2712 compatibility.
  2713 
  2714 * Structure "int_ring" is now an abbreviation (previously a
  2715 definition).  This fits more natural with advanced interpretations.
  2716 
  2717 
  2718 *** HOLCF ***
  2719 
  2720 * The domain package now runs in definitional mode by default: The
  2721 former command 'new_domain' is now called 'domain'.  To use the domain
  2722 package in its original axiomatic mode, use 'domain (unsafe)'.
  2723 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2724 
  2725 * The new class "domain" is now the default sort.  Class "predomain"
  2726 is an unpointed version of "domain". Theories can be updated by
  2727 replacing sort annotations as shown below.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2728 
  2729   'a::type ~> 'a::countable
  2730   'a::cpo  ~> 'a::predomain
  2731   'a::pcpo ~> 'a::domain
  2732 
  2733 * The old type class "rep" has been superseded by class "domain".
  2734 Accordingly, users of the definitional package must remove any
  2735 "default_sort rep" declarations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2736 
  2737 * The domain package (definitional mode) now supports unpointed
  2738 predomain argument types, as long as they are marked 'lazy'. (Strict
  2739 arguments must be in class "domain".) For example, the following
  2740 domain definition now works:
  2741 
  2742   domain natlist = nil | cons (lazy "nat discr") (lazy "natlist")
  2743 
  2744 * Theory HOLCF/Library/HOL_Cpo provides cpo and predomain class
  2745 instances for types from main HOL: bool, nat, int, char, 'a + 'b,
  2746 'a option, and 'a list.  Additionally, it configures fixrec and the
  2747 domain package to work with these types.  For example:
  2748 
  2749   fixrec isInl :: "('a + 'b) u -> tr"
  2750     where "isInl$(up$(Inl x)) = TT" | "isInl$(up$(Inr y)) = FF"
  2751 
  2752   domain V = VFun (lazy "V -> V") | VCon (lazy "nat") (lazy "V list")
  2753 
  2754 * The "(permissive)" option of fixrec has been replaced with a
  2755 per-equation "(unchecked)" option. See
  2756 src/HOL/HOLCF/Tutorial/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2757 
  2758 * The "bifinite" class no longer fixes a constant "approx"; the class
  2759 now just asserts that such a function exists.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2760 
  2761 * Former type "alg_defl" has been renamed to "defl".  HOLCF no longer
  2762 defines an embedding of type 'a defl into udom by default; instances
  2763 of "bifinite" and "domain" classes are available in
  2764 src/HOL/HOLCF/Library/Defl_Bifinite.thy.
  2765 
  2766 * The syntax "REP('a)" has been replaced with "DEFL('a)".
  2767 
  2768 * The predicate "directed" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2769 
  2770 * The type class "finite_po" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2771 
  2772 * The function "cprod_map" has been renamed to "prod_map".
  2773 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2774 
  2775 * The monadic bind operator on each powerdomain has new binder syntax
  2776 similar to sets, e.g. "\<Union>\<sharp>x\<in>xs. t" represents
  2777 "upper_bind\<cdot>xs\<cdot>(\<Lambda> x. t)".
  2778 
  2779 * The infix syntax for binary union on each powerdomain has changed
  2780 from e.g. "+\<sharp>" to "\<union>\<sharp>", for consistency with set
  2781 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2782 
  2783 * The constant "UU" has been renamed to "bottom".  The syntax "UU" is
  2784 still supported as an input translation.
  2785 
  2786 * Renamed some theorems (the original names are also still available).
  2787 
  2788   expand_fun_below   ~> fun_below_iff
  2789   below_fun_ext      ~> fun_belowI
  2790   expand_cfun_eq     ~> cfun_eq_iff
  2791   ext_cfun           ~> cfun_eqI
  2792   expand_cfun_below  ~> cfun_below_iff
  2793   below_cfun_ext     ~> cfun_belowI
  2794   cont2cont_Rep_CFun ~> cont2cont_APP
  2795 
  2796 * The Abs and Rep functions for various types have changed names.
  2797 Related theorem names have also changed to match. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2798 
  2799   Rep_CFun  ~> Rep_cfun
  2800   Abs_CFun  ~> Abs_cfun
  2801   Rep_Sprod ~> Rep_sprod
  2802   Abs_Sprod ~> Abs_sprod
  2803   Rep_Ssum  ~> Rep_ssum
  2804   Abs_Ssum  ~> Abs_ssum
  2805 
  2806 * Lemmas with names of the form *_defined_iff or *_strict_iff have
  2807 been renamed to *_bottom_iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2808 
  2809 * Various changes to bisimulation/coinduction with domain package:
  2810 
  2811   - Definitions of "bisim" constants no longer mention definedness.
  2812   - With mutual recursion, "bisim" predicate is now curried.
  2813   - With mutual recursion, each type gets a separate coind theorem.
  2814   - Variable names in bisim_def and coinduct rules have changed.
  2815 
  2816 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2817 
  2818 * Case combinators generated by the domain package for type "foo" are
  2819 now named "foo_case" instead of "foo_when".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2820 
  2821 * Several theorems have been renamed to more accurately reflect the
  2822 names of constants and types involved.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2894 *** FOL and ZF ***
  2895

  2898 
  2899 
  2900 *** ML ***
  2901 
  2902 * Antiquotation @{assert} inlines a function bool -> unit that raises
  2903 Fail if the argument is false.  Due to inlining the source position of
  2904 failed assertions is included in the error output.
  2905 
  2906 * Discontinued antiquotation @{theory_ref}, which is obsolete since ML
  2907 text is in practice always evaluated with a stable theory checkpoint.
  2908 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use (Theory.check_thy @{theory}) instead.
  2909 
  2910 * Antiquotation @{theory A} refers to theory A from the ancestry of
  2911 the current context, not any accidental theory loader state as before.
  2912 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, subtle change in semantics.
  2913 
  2914 * Syntax.pretty_priority (default 0) configures the required priority
  2915 of pretty-printed output and thus affects insertion of parentheses.
  2916 
  2917 * Syntax.default_root (default "any") configures the inner syntax
  2918 category (nonterminal symbol) for parsing of terms.
  2919 
  2920 * Former exception Library.UnequalLengths now coincides with
  2921 ListPair.UnequalLengths.
  2922 
  2923 * Renamed structure MetaSimplifier to Raw_Simplifier.  Note that the
  2924 main functionality is provided by structure Simplifier.
  2925 
  2926 * Renamed raw "explode" function to "raw_explode" to emphasize its
  2927 meaning.  Note that internally to Isabelle, Symbol.explode is used in
  2928 almost all situations.
  2929 
  2930 * Discontinued obsolete function sys_error and exception SYS_ERROR.
  2931 See implementation manual for further details on exceptions in
  2932 Isabelle/ML.
  2933 
  2934 * Renamed setmp_noncritical to Unsynchronized.setmp to emphasize its
  2935 meaning.
  2936 
  2937 * Renamed structure PureThy to Pure_Thy and moved most of its
  2938 operations to structure Global_Theory, to emphasize that this is
  2939 rarely-used global-only stuff.
  2940 
  2941 * Discontinued Output.debug.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use plain writeln
  2942 instead (or tracing for high-volume output).
  2943 
  2944 * Configuration option show_question_marks only affects regular pretty
  2945 printing of types and terms, not raw Term.string_of_vname.
  2946 
  2947 * ML_Context.thm and ML_Context.thms are no longer pervasive.  Rare
  2948 INCOMPATIBILITY, superseded by static antiquotations @{thm} and
  2949 @{thms} for most purposes.
  2950 
  2951 * ML structure Unsynchronized is never opened, not even in Isar
  2952 interaction mode as before.  Old Unsynchronized.set etc. have been
  2953 discontinued -- use plain := instead.  This should be *rare* anyway,
  2954 since modern tools always work via official context data, notably
  2955 configuration options.
  2956 
  2957 * Parallel and asynchronous execution requires special care concerning
  2958 interrupts.  Structure Exn provides some convenience functions that
  2959 avoid working directly with raw Interrupt.  User code must not absorb
  2960 interrupts -- intermediate handling (for cleanup etc.) needs to be
  2961 followed by re-raising of the original exception.  Another common
  2962 source of mistakes are "handle _" patterns, which make the meaning of
  2963 the program subject to physical effects of the environment.
  2964

  2966 
  2967 New in Isabelle2009-2 (June 2010)
  2968 ---------------------------------
  2969 
  2970 *** General ***
  2971 
  2972 * Authentic syntax for *all* logical entities (type classes, type
  2973 constructors, term constants): provides simple and robust
  2974 correspondence between formal entities and concrete syntax.  Within
  2975 the parse tree / AST representations, "constants" are decorated by
  2976 their category (class, type, const) and spelled out explicitly with
  2977 their full internal name.
  2978 
  2979 Substantial INCOMPATIBILITY concerning low-level syntax declarations
  2980 and translations (translation rules and translation functions in ML).
  2981 Some hints on upgrading:
  2982 
  2983   - Many existing uses of 'syntax' and 'translations' can be replaced
  2984     by more modern 'type_notation', 'notation' and 'abbreviation',
  2985     which are independent of this issue.
  2986 
  2987   - 'translations' require markup within the AST; the term syntax
  2988     provides the following special forms:
  2989 
  2990       CONST c   -- produces syntax version of constant c from context
  2991       XCONST c  -- literally c, checked as constant from context
  2992       c         -- literally c, if declared by 'syntax'
  2993 
  2994     Plain identifiers are treated as AST variables -- occasionally the
  2995     system indicates accidental variables via the error "rhs contains
  2996     extra variables".
  2997 
  2998     Type classes and type constructors are marked according to their
  2999     concrete syntax.  Some old translations rules need to be written
  3000     for the "type" category, using type constructor application
  3001     instead of pseudo-term application of the default category
  3002     "logic".
  3003 
  3004   - 'parse_translation' etc. in ML may use the following
  3005     antiquotations:
  3006 
  3007       @{class_syntax c}   -- type class c within parse tree / AST
  3008       @{term_syntax c}    -- type constructor c within parse tree / AST
  3009       @{const_syntax c}   -- ML version of "CONST c" above
  3010       @{syntax_const c}   -- literally c (checked wrt. 'syntax' declarations)
  3011 
  3012   - Literal types within 'typed_print_translations', i.e. those *not*
  3013     represented as pseudo-terms are represented verbatim.  Use @{class
  3014     c} or @{type_name c} here instead of the above syntax
  3015     antiquotations.
  3016 
  3017 Note that old non-authentic syntax was based on unqualified base
  3018 names, so all of the above "constant" names would coincide.  Recall
  3019 that 'print_syntax' and ML_command "set Syntax.trace_ast" help to
  3020 diagnose syntax problems.
  3021 
  3022 * Type constructors admit general mixfix syntax, not just infix.
  3023 
  3024 * Concrete syntax may be attached to local entities without a proof
  3025 body, too.  This works via regular mixfix annotations for 'fix',
  3026 'def', 'obtain' etc. or via the explicit 'write' command, which is
  3027 similar to the 'notation' command in theory specifications.
  3028 
  3029 * Discontinued unnamed infix syntax (legacy feature for many years) --
  3030 need to specify constant name and syntax separately.  Internal ML
  3031 datatype constructors have been renamed from InfixName to Infix etc.
  3032 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3033 
  3034 * Schematic theorem statements need to be explicitly markup as such,
  3035 via commands 'schematic_lemma', 'schematic_theorem',
  3036 'schematic_corollary'.  Thus the relevance of the proof is made
  3037 syntactically clear, which impacts performance in a parallel or
  3038 asynchronous interactive environment.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3039 
  3040 * Use of cumulative prems via "!" in some proof methods has been
  3041 discontinued (old legacy feature).
  3042 
  3043 * References 'trace_simp' and 'debug_simp' have been replaced by
  3044 configuration options stored in the context. Enabling tracing (the
  3045 case of debugging is similar) in proofs works via
  3046 
  3047   using [[trace_simp = true]]
  3048 
  3049 Tracing is then active for all invocations of the simplifier in
  3050 subsequent goal refinement steps. Tracing may also still be enabled or
  3051 disabled via the ProofGeneral settings menu.
  3052 
  3053 * Separate commands 'hide_class', 'hide_type', 'hide_const',
  3054 'hide_fact' replace the former 'hide' KIND command.  Minor
  3055 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3056 
  3057 * Improved parallelism of proof term normalization: usedir -p2 -q0 is
  3058 more efficient than combinations with -q1 or -q2.
  3059 
  3060 
  3061 *** Pure ***
  3062 
  3063 * Proofterms record type-class reasoning explicitly, using the
  3064 "unconstrain" operation internally.  This eliminates all sort
  3065 constraints from a theorem and proof, introducing explicit
  3066 OFCLASS-premises.  On the proof term level, this operation is
  3067 automatically applied at theorem boundaries, such that closed proofs
  3068 are always free of sort constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools that
  3069 inspect proof terms.
  3070 
  3071 * Local theory specifications may depend on extra type variables that
  3072 are not present in the result type -- arguments TYPE('a) :: 'a itself
  3073 are added internally.  For example:
  3074 
  3075   definition unitary :: bool where "unitary = (ALL (x::'a) y. x = y)"
  3076 
  3077 * Predicates of locales introduced by classes carry a mandatory
  3078 "class" prefix.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3079 
  3080 * Vacuous class specifications observe default sort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3081 
  3082 * Old 'axclass' command has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  3083 'class' instead.
  3084 
  3085 * Command 'code_reflect' allows to incorporate generated ML code into
  3086 runtime environment; replaces immature code_datatype antiquotation.
  3087 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3088 
  3089 * Code generator: simple concept for abstract datatypes obeying
  3090 invariants.
  3091 
  3092 * Code generator: details of internal data cache have no impact on the
  3093 user space functionality any longer.
  3094 
  3095 * Methods "unfold_locales" and "intro_locales" ignore non-locale
  3096 subgoals.  This is more appropriate for interpretations with 'where'.
  3097 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3098 
  3099 * Command 'example_proof' opens an empty proof body.  This allows to
  3100 experiment with Isar, without producing any persistent result.
  3101 
  3102 * Commands 'type_notation' and 'no_type_notation' declare type syntax
  3103 within a local theory context, with explicit checking of the
  3104 constructors involved (in contrast to the raw 'syntax' versions).
  3105 
  3106 * Commands 'types' and 'typedecl' now work within a local theory
  3107 context -- without introducing dependencies on parameters or
  3108 assumptions, which is not possible in Isabelle/Pure.
  3109 
  3110 * Command 'defaultsort' has been renamed to 'default_sort', it works
  3111 within a local theory context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3112 
  3113 
  3114 *** HOL ***
  3115 
  3116 * Command 'typedef' now works within a local theory context -- without
  3117 introducing dependencies on parameters or assumptions, which is not
  3118 possible in Isabelle/Pure/HOL.  Note that the logical environment may
  3119 contain multiple interpretations of local typedefs (with different
  3120 non-emptiness proofs), even in a global theory context.
  3121 
  3122 * New package for quotient types.  Commands 'quotient_type' and
  3123 'quotient_definition' may be used for defining types and constants by
  3124 quotient constructions.  An example is the type of integers created by
  3125 quotienting pairs of natural numbers:
  3126 
  3127   fun
  3128     intrel :: "(nat * nat) => (nat * nat) => bool"
  3129   where
  3130     "intrel (x, y) (u, v) = (x + v = u + y)"
  3131 
  3132   quotient_type int = "nat * nat" / intrel
  3133     by (auto simp add: equivp_def expand_fun_eq)
  3134 
  3135   quotient_definition
  3136     "0::int" is "(0::nat, 0::nat)"
  3137 
  3138 The method "lifting" can be used to lift of theorems from the
  3139 underlying "raw" type to the quotient type.  The example
  3140 src/HOL/Quotient_Examples/FSet.thy includes such a quotient
  3141 construction and provides a reasoning infrastructure for finite sets.
  3142 
  3143 * Renamed Library/Quotient.thy to Library/Quotient_Type.thy to avoid
  3144 clash with new theory Quotient in Main HOL.
  3145 
  3146 * Moved the SMT binding into the main HOL session, eliminating
  3147 separate HOL-SMT session.
  3148 
  3149 * List membership infix mem operation is only an input abbreviation.
  3150 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3151 
  3152 * Theory Library/Word.thy has been removed.  Use library Word/Word.thy
  3153 for future developements; former Library/Word.thy is still present in
  3154 the AFP entry RSAPPS.
  3155 
  3156 * Theorem Int.int_induct renamed to Int.int_of_nat_induct and is no
  3157 longer shadowed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3158 
  3159 * Dropped theorem duplicate comp_arith; use semiring_norm instead.
  3160 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3161 
  3162 * Dropped theorem RealPow.real_sq_order; use power2_le_imp_le instead.
  3163 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3164 
  3165 * Dropped normalizing_semiring etc; use the facts in semiring classes
  3166 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3167 
  3168 * Dropped several real-specific versions of lemmas about floor and
  3169 ceiling; use the generic lemmas from theory "Archimedean_Field"
  3170 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3202 
  3203 * Theory "Finite_Set": various folding_XXX locales facilitate the
  3204 application of the various fold combinators on finite sets.
  3205 
  3206 * Library theory "RBT" renamed to "RBT_Impl"; new library theory "RBT"
  3207 provides abstract red-black tree type which is backed by "RBT_Impl" as
  3208 implementation.  INCOMPATIBILTY.
  3209 
  3210 * Theory Library/Coinductive_List has been removed -- superseded by
  3211 AFP/thys/Coinductive.
  3212 
  3213 * Theory PReal, including the type "preal" and related operations, has
  3214 been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3215 
  3216 * Real: new development using Cauchy Sequences.
  3217 
  3218 * Split off theory "Big_Operators" containing setsum, setprod,
  3219 Inf_fin, Sup_fin, Min, Max from theory Finite_Set.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3220 
  3221 * Theory "Rational" renamed to "Rat", for consistency with "Nat",
  3222 "Int" etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3223 
  3224 * Constant Rat.normalize needs to be qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3225 
  3226 * New set of rules "ac_simps" provides combined assoc / commute
  3227 rewrites for all interpretations of the appropriate generic locales.
  3228 
  3229 * Renamed theory "OrderedGroup" to "Groups" and split theory
  3230 "Ring_and_Field" into theories "Rings" and "Fields"; for more
  3231 appropriate and more consistent names suitable for name prefixes
  3232 within the HOL theories.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3233 
  3234 * Some generic constants have been put to appropriate theories:
  3235   - less_eq, less: Orderings
  3236   - zero, one, plus, minus, uminus, times, abs, sgn: Groups
  3237   - inverse, divide: Rings
  3238 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3239 
  3240 * More consistent naming of type classes involving orderings (and
  3241 lattices):
  3242 
  3243     lower_semilattice                   ~> semilattice_inf

  3280 
  3281   The following slightly odd type classes have been moved to a
  3282   separate theory Library/Lattice_Algebras:

  3288     lordered_ring                       ~> lattice_ring
  3289 
  3290 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3291 
  3292 * Refined field classes:
  3293   - classes division_ring_inverse_zero, field_inverse_zero,
  3294     linordered_field_inverse_zero include rule inverse 0 = 0 --
  3295     subsumes former division_by_zero class;
  3296   - numerous lemmas have been ported from field to division_ring.
  3297 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3298 
  3299 * Refined algebra theorem collections:
  3300   - dropped theorem group group_simps, use algebra_simps instead;
  3301   - dropped theorem group ring_simps, use field_simps instead;
  3302   - proper theorem collection field_simps subsumes former theorem
  3303     groups field_eq_simps and field_simps;
  3304   - dropped lemma eq_minus_self_iff which is a duplicate for
  3305     equal_neg_zero.
  3306 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3307 
  3308 * Theory Finite_Set and List: some lemmas have been generalized from
  3309 sets to lattices:
  3310 
  3311   fun_left_comm_idem_inter      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_inf
  3312   fun_left_comm_idem_union      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_sup
  3313   inter_Inter_fold_inter        ~> inf_Inf_fold_inf
  3314   union_Union_fold_union        ~> sup_Sup_fold_sup
  3315   Inter_fold_inter              ~> Inf_fold_inf
  3316   Union_fold_union              ~> Sup_fold_sup
  3317   inter_INTER_fold_inter        ~> inf_INFI_fold_inf
  3318   union_UNION_fold_union        ~> sup_SUPR_fold_sup
  3319   INTER_fold_inter              ~> INFI_fold_inf
  3320   UNION_fold_union              ~> SUPR_fold_sup
  3321 
  3322 * Theory "Complete_Lattice": lemmas top_def and bot_def have been
  3323 replaced by the more convenient lemmas Inf_empty and Sup_empty.
  3324 Dropped lemmas Inf_insert_simp and Sup_insert_simp, which are subsumed
  3325 by Inf_insert and Sup_insert.  Lemmas Inf_UNIV and Sup_UNIV replace
  3326 former Inf_Univ and Sup_Univ.  Lemmas inf_top_right and sup_bot_right
  3327 subsume inf_top and sup_bot respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3328 
  3329 * Reorganized theory Multiset: swapped notation of pointwise and
  3330 multiset order:
  3331 
  3332   - pointwise ordering is instance of class order with standard syntax
  3333     <= and <;
  3334   - multiset ordering has syntax <=# and <#; partial order properties
  3335     are provided by means of interpretation with prefix
  3336     multiset_order;
  3337   - less duplication, less historical organization of sections,
  3338     conversion from associations lists to multisets, rudimentary code
  3339     generation;
  3340   - use insert_DiffM2 [symmetric] instead of elem_imp_eq_diff_union,
  3341     if needed.
  3342 
  3343 Renamed:
  3344 
  3345   multiset_eq_conv_count_eq  ~>  multiset_ext_iff
  3346   multi_count_ext  ~>  multiset_ext
  3347   diff_union_inverse2  ~>  diff_union_cancelR
  3348 
  3349 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3350 
  3351 * Theory Permutation: replaced local "remove" by List.remove1.
  3352 
  3353 * Code generation: ML and OCaml code is decorated with signatures.
  3354 
  3355 * Theory List: added transpose.
  3356 
  3357 * Library/Nat_Bijection.thy is a collection of bijective functions
  3358 between nat and other types, which supersedes the older libraries
  3359 Library/Nat_Int_Bij.thy and HOLCF/NatIso.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3389   Nat_Int_Bij.bij_int_to_nat_bij  ~> bij_int_decode
  3390 
  3391 * Sledgehammer:
  3392   - Renamed ATP commands:
  3393     atp_info     ~> sledgehammer running_atps
  3394     atp_kill     ~> sledgehammer kill_atps
  3395     atp_messages ~> sledgehammer messages
  3396     atp_minimize ~> sledgehammer minimize
  3397     print_atps   ~> sledgehammer available_atps
  3398     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3399   - Added user's manual ("isabelle doc sledgehammer").
  3400   - Added option syntax and "sledgehammer_params" to customize
  3401     Sledgehammer's behavior.  See the manual for details.
  3402   - Modified the Isar proof reconstruction code so that it produces
  3403     direct proofs rather than proofs by contradiction.  (This feature
  3404     is still experimental.)
  3405   - Made Isar proof reconstruction work for SPASS, remote ATPs, and in
  3406     full-typed mode.
  3407   - Added support for TPTP syntax for SPASS via the "spass_tptp" ATP.
  3408 
  3409 * Nitpick:
  3410   - Added and implemented "binary_ints" and "bits" options.
  3411   - Added "std" option and implemented support for nonstandard models.
  3412   - Added and implemented "finitize" option to improve the precision
  3413     of infinite datatypes based on a monotonicity analysis.
  3414   - Added support for quotient types.
  3415   - Added support for "specification" and "ax_specification"
  3416     constructs.
  3417   - Added support for local definitions (for "function" and
  3418     "termination" proofs).
  3419   - Added support for term postprocessors.
  3420   - Optimized "Multiset.multiset" and "FinFun.finfun".
  3421   - Improved efficiency of "destroy_constrs" optimization.
  3422   - Fixed soundness bugs related to "destroy_constrs" optimization and
  3423     record getters.
  3424   - Fixed soundness bug related to higher-order constructors.
  3425   - Fixed soundness bug when "full_descrs" is enabled.
  3426   - Improved precision of set constructs.
  3427   - Added "atoms" option.
  3428   - Added cache to speed up repeated Kodkod invocations on the same
  3429     problems.
  3430   - Renamed "MiniSatJNI", "zChaffJNI", "BerkMinAlloy", and
  3431     "SAT4JLight" to "MiniSat_JNI", "zChaff_JNI", "BerkMin_Alloy", and
  3432     "SAT4J_Light".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3433   - Removed "skolemize", "uncurry", "sym_break", "flatten_prop",
  3434     "sharing_depth", and "show_skolems" options.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3435   - Removed "nitpick_intro" attribute.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3436 
  3437 * Method "induct" now takes instantiations of the form t, where t is not
  3438   a variable, as a shorthand for "x == t", where x is a fresh variable.
  3439   If this is not intended, t has to be enclosed in parentheses.
  3440   By default, the equalities generated by definitional instantiations
  3441   are pre-simplified, which may cause parameters of inductive cases
  3442   to disappear, or may even delete some of the inductive cases.
  3443   Use "induct (no_simp)" instead of "induct" to restore the old
  3444   behaviour. The (no_simp) option is also understood by the "cases"
  3445   and "nominal_induct" methods, which now perform pre-simplification, too.
  3446   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3447 
  3448 
  3449 *** HOLCF ***
  3450 
  3451 * Variable names in lemmas generated by the domain package have
  3452 changed; the naming scheme is now consistent with the HOL datatype
  3453 package.  Some proof scripts may be affected, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3454 
  3455 * The domain package no longer defines the function "foo_copy" for
  3456 recursive domain "foo".  The reach lemma is now stated directly in
  3457 terms of "foo_take".  Lemmas and proofs that mention "foo_copy" must
  3458 be reformulated in terms of "foo_take", INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3459 
  3460 * Most definedness lemmas generated by the domain package (previously
  3461 of the form "x ~= UU ==> foo$x ~= UU") now have an if-and-only-if form
  3462 like "foo$x = UU <-> x = UU", which works better as a simp rule.
  3463 Proofs that used definedness lemmas as intro rules may break,
  3464 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3465 
  3466 * Induction and casedist rules generated by the domain package now
  3467 declare proper case_names (one called "bottom", and one named for each
  3468 constructor).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3469 
  3470 * For mutually-recursive domains, separate "reach" and "take_lemma"
  3471 rules are generated for each domain, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3472 
  3473   foo_bar.reach       ~> foo.reach  bar.reach
  3474   foo_bar.take_lemmas ~> foo.take_lemma  bar.take_lemma
  3475 
  3476 * Some lemmas generated by the domain package have been renamed for
  3477 consistency with the datatype package, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3478 
  3479   foo.ind        ~> foo.induct
  3480   foo.finite_ind ~> foo.finite_induct
  3481   foo.coind      ~> foo.coinduct
  3482   foo.casedist   ~> foo.exhaust
  3483   foo.exhaust    ~> foo.nchotomy
  3484 
  3485 * For consistency with other definition packages, the fixrec package
  3486 now generates qualified theorem names, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3487 
  3488   foo_simps  ~> foo.simps
  3489   foo_unfold ~> foo.unfold
  3490   foo_induct ~> foo.induct
  3491 
  3492 * The "fixrec_simp" attribute has been removed.  The "fixrec_simp"
  3493 method and internal fixrec proofs now use the default simpset instead.
  3494 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3495 
  3496 * The "contlub" predicate has been removed.  Proof scripts should use
  3497 lemma contI2 in place of monocontlub2cont, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3498 
  3499 * The "admw" predicate has been removed, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3500 
  3501 * The constants cpair, cfst, and csnd have been removed in favor of
  3502 Pair, fst, and snd from Isabelle/HOL, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3503 
  3504 
  3505 *** ML ***
  3506 
  3507 * Antiquotations for basic formal entities:
  3508 
  3509     @{class NAME}         -- type class
  3510     @{class_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of the above
  3511 
  3512     @{type_name NAME}     -- logical type
  3513     @{type_abbrev NAME}   -- type abbreviation
  3514     @{nonterminal NAME}   -- type of concrete syntactic category
  3515     @{type_syntax NAME}   -- syntax representation of any of the above
  3516 
  3517     @{const_name NAME}    -- logical constant (INCOMPATIBILITY)
  3518     @{const_abbrev NAME}  -- abbreviated constant
  3519     @{const_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of any of the above
  3520 
  3521 * Antiquotation @{syntax_const NAME} ensures that NAME refers to a raw
  3522 syntax constant (cf. 'syntax' command).
  3523 
  3524 * Antiquotation @{make_string} inlines a function to print arbitrary
  3525 values similar to the ML toplevel.  The result is compiler dependent
  3526 and may fall back on "?" in certain situations.
  3527 
  3528 * Diagnostic commands 'ML_val' and 'ML_command' may refer to
  3529 antiquotations @{Isar.state} and @{Isar.goal}.  This replaces impure
  3530 Isar.state() and Isar.goal(), which belong to the old TTY loop and do
  3531 not work with the asynchronous Isar document model.
  3532 
  3533 * Configuration options now admit dynamic default values, depending on
  3534 the context or even global references.
  3535 
  3536 * SHA1.digest digests strings according to SHA-1 (see RFC 3174).  It
  3537 uses an efficient external library if available (for Poly/ML).
  3538 
  3539 * Renamed some important ML structures, while keeping the old names
  3540 for some time as aliases within the structure Legacy:
  3541 
  3542   OuterKeyword  ~>  Keyword
  3543   OuterLex      ~>  Token
  3544   OuterParse    ~>  Parse
  3545   OuterSyntax   ~>  Outer_Syntax
  3546   PrintMode     ~>  Print_Mode
  3547   SpecParse     ~>  Parse_Spec
  3548   ThyInfo       ~>  Thy_Info
  3549   ThyLoad       ~>  Thy_Load
  3550   ThyOutput     ~>  Thy_Output
  3551   TypeInfer     ~>  Type_Infer
  3552 
  3553 Note that "open Legacy" simplifies porting of sources, but forgetting
  3554 to remove it again will complicate porting again in the future.
  3555 
  3556 * Most operations that refer to a global context are named
  3557 accordingly, e.g. Simplifier.global_context or
  3558 ProofContext.init_global.  There are some situations where a global
  3559 context actually works, but under normal circumstances one needs to
  3560 pass the proper local context through the code!
  3561 
  3562 * Discontinued old TheoryDataFun with its copy/init operation -- data
  3563 needs to be pure.  Functor Theory_Data_PP retains the traditional
  3564 Pretty.pp argument to merge, which is absent in the standard
  3565 Theory_Data version.
  3566 
  3567 * Sorts.certify_sort and derived "cert" operations for types and terms
  3568 no longer minimize sorts.  Thus certification at the boundary of the
  3569 inference kernel becomes invariant under addition of class relations,
  3570 which is an important monotonicity principle.  Sorts are now minimized
  3571 in the syntax layer only, at the boundary between the end-user and the
  3572 system.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY, may have to use Sign.minimize_sort
  3573 explicitly in rare situations.
  3574 
  3575 * Renamed old-style Drule.standard to Drule.export_without_context, to
  3576 emphasize that this is in no way a standard operation.
  3577 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3578 
  3579 * Subgoal.FOCUS (and variants): resulting goal state is normalized as
  3580 usual for resolution.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3581 
  3582 * Renamed varify/unvarify operations to varify_global/unvarify_global
  3583 to emphasize that these only work in a global situation (which is
  3584 quite rare).
  3585 
  3586 * Curried take and drop in library.ML; negative length is interpreted
  3587 as infinity (as in chop).  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3588 
  3589 * Proof terms: type substitutions on proof constants now use canonical
  3590 order of type variables.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools working with proof
  3591 terms.
  3592 
  3593 * Raw axioms/defs may no longer carry sort constraints, and raw defs
  3594 may no longer carry premises.  User-level specifications are
  3595 transformed accordingly by Thm.add_axiom/add_def.
  3596 
  3597 
  3598 *** System ***
  3599 
  3600 * Discontinued special HOL_USEDIR_OPTIONS for the main HOL image;
  3601 ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS applies uniformly to all sessions.  Note that
  3602 proof terms are enabled unconditionally in the new HOL-Proofs image.
  3603 
  3604 * Discontinued old ISABELLE and ISATOOL environment settings (legacy
  3605 feature since Isabelle2009).  Use ISABELLE_PROCESS and ISABELLE_TOOL,
  3606 respectively.
  3607 
  3608 * Old lib/scripts/polyml-platform is superseded by the
  3609 ISABELLE_PLATFORM setting variable, which defaults to the 32 bit
  3610 variant, even on a 64 bit machine.  The following example setting
  3611 prefers 64 bit if available:
  3612 
  3613   ML_PLATFORM="${ISABELLE_PLATFORM64:-$ISABELLE_PLATFORM}"
  3614 
  3615 * The preliminary Isabelle/jEdit application demonstrates the emerging
  3616 Isabelle/Scala layer for advanced prover interaction and integration.
  3617 See src/Tools/jEdit or "isabelle jedit" provided by the properly built
  3618 component.
  3619 
  3620 * "IsabelleText" is a Unicode font derived from Bitstream Vera Mono
  3621 and Bluesky TeX fonts.  It provides the usual Isabelle symbols,
  3622 similar to the default assignment of the document preparation system
  3623 (cf. isabellesym.sty).  The Isabelle/Scala class Isabelle_System
  3624 provides some operations for direct access to the font without asking
  3625 the user for manual installation.
  3626 
  3627 
  3628 
  3629 New in Isabelle2009-1 (December 2009)
  3630 -------------------------------------
  3631 
  3632 *** General ***
  3633 
  3634 * Discontinued old form of "escaped symbols" such as \\<forall>.  Only
  3635 one backslash should be used, even in ML sources.
  3636 
  3637 
  3638 *** Pure ***
  3639 
  3640 * Locale interpretation propagates mixins along the locale hierarchy.
  3641 The currently only available mixins are the equations used to map
  3642 local definitions to terms of the target domain of an interpretation.
  3643 
  3644 * Reactivated diagnostic command 'print_interps'.  Use "print_interps
  3645 loc" to print all interpretations of locale "loc" in the theory.
  3646 Interpretations in proofs are not shown.
  3647 
  3648 * Thoroughly revised locales tutorial.  New section on conditional
  3649 interpretation.
  3650 
  3651 * On instantiation of classes, remaining undefined class parameters
  3652 are formally declared.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3653 
  3654 
  3655 *** Document preparation ***
  3656 
  3657 * New generalized style concept for printing terms: @{foo (style) ...}
  3658 instead of @{foo_style style ...}  (old form is still retained for
  3659 backward compatibility).  Styles can be also applied for
  3660 antiquotations prop, term_type and typeof.
  3661 
  3662 
  3663 *** HOL ***
  3664 
  3665 * New proof method "smt" for a combination of first-order logic with
  3666 equality, linear and nonlinear (natural/integer/real) arithmetic, and
  3667 fixed-size bitvectors; there is also basic support for higher-order
  3668 features (esp. lambda abstractions).  It is an incomplete decision
  3669 procedure based on external SMT solvers using the oracle mechanism;
  3670 for the SMT solver Z3, this method is proof-producing.  Certificates
  3671 are provided to avoid calling the external solvers solely for
  3672 re-checking proofs.  Due to a remote SMT service there is no need for
  3673 installing SMT solvers locally.  See src/HOL/SMT.
  3674 
  3675 * New commands to load and prove verification conditions generated by
  3676 the Boogie program verifier or derived systems (e.g. the Verifying C
  3677 Compiler (VCC) or Spec#).  See src/HOL/Boogie.
  3678 
  3679 * New counterexample generator tool 'nitpick' based on the Kodkod
  3680 relational model finder.  See src/HOL/Tools/Nitpick and
  3681 src/HOL/Nitpick_Examples.
  3682 
  3683 * New commands 'code_pred' and 'values' to invoke the predicate
  3684 compiler and to enumerate values of inductive predicates.
  3685 
  3686 * A tabled implementation of the reflexive transitive closure.
  3687 
  3688 * New implementation of quickcheck uses generic code generator;
  3689 default generators are provided for all suitable HOL types, records
  3690 and datatypes.  Old quickcheck can be re-activated importing theory
  3691 Library/SML_Quickcheck.
  3692 
  3693 * New testing tool Mirabelle for automated proof tools.  Applies
  3694 several tools and tactics like sledgehammer, metis, or quickcheck, to
  3695 every proof step in a theory.  To be used in batch mode via the
  3696 "mirabelle" utility.
  3697 
  3698 * New proof method "sos" (sum of squares) for nonlinear real
  3699 arithmetic (originally due to John Harison). It requires theory
  3700 Library/Sum_Of_Squares.  It is not a complete decision procedure but
  3701 works well in practice on quantifier-free real arithmetic with +, -,
  3702 *, ^, =, <= and <, i.e. boolean combinations of equalities and
  3703 inequalities between polynomials.  It makes use of external
  3704 semidefinite programming solvers.  Method "sos" generates a
  3705 certificate that can be pasted into the proof thus avoiding the need
  3706 to call an external tool every time the proof is checked.  See
  3707 src/HOL/Library/Sum_Of_Squares.
  3708 
  3709 * New method "linarith" invokes existing linear arithmetic decision
  3710 procedure only.
  3711 
  3712 * New command 'atp_minimal' reduces result produced by Sledgehammer.
  3713 
  3714 * New Sledgehammer option "Full Types" in Proof General settings menu.
  3715 Causes full type information to be output to the ATPs.  This slows
  3716 ATPs down considerably but eliminates a source of unsound "proofs"
  3717 that fail later.
  3718 
  3719 * New method "metisFT": A version of metis that uses full type
  3720 information in order to avoid failures of proof reconstruction.
  3721 
  3722 * New evaluator "approximate" approximates an real valued term using
  3723 the same method as the approximation method.
  3724 
  3725 * Method "approximate" now supports arithmetic expressions as
  3726 boundaries of intervals and implements interval splitting and Taylor
  3727 series expansion.
  3728 
  3729 * ML antiquotation @{code_datatype} inserts definition of a datatype
  3730 generated by the code generator; e.g. see src/HOL/Predicate.thy.
  3731 
  3732 * New theory SupInf of the supremum and infimum operators for sets of
  3733 reals.
  3734 
  3735 * New theory Probability, which contains a development of measure
  3736 theory, eventually leading to Lebesgue integration and probability.
  3737 
  3738 * Extended Multivariate Analysis to include derivation and Brouwer's
  3739 fixpoint theorem.
  3740 
  3741 * Reorganization of number theory, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  3742   - new number theory development for nat and int, in theories Divides
  3743     and GCD as well as in new session Number_Theory
  3744   - some constants and facts now suffixed with _nat and _int
  3745     accordingly
  3746   - former session NumberTheory now named Old_Number_Theory, including
  3747     theories Legacy_GCD and Primes (prefer Number_Theory if possible)
  3748   - moved theory Pocklington from src/HOL/Library to
  3749     src/HOL/Old_Number_Theory
  3750 
  3751 * Theory GCD includes functions Gcd/GCD and Lcm/LCM for the gcd and
  3752 lcm of finite and infinite sets. It is shown that they form a complete
  3753 lattice.
  3754 
  3755 * Class semiring_div requires superclass no_zero_divisors and proof of
  3756 div_mult_mult1; theorems div_mult_mult1, div_mult_mult2,
  3757 div_mult_mult1_if, div_mult_mult1 and div_mult_mult2 have been
  3758 generalized to class semiring_div, subsuming former theorems
  3759 zdiv_zmult_zmult1, zdiv_zmult_zmult1_if, zdiv_zmult_zmult1 and
  3760 zdiv_zmult_zmult2.  div_mult_mult1 is now [simp] by default.
  3761 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3762 
  3763 * Refinements to lattice classes and sets:
  3764   - less default intro/elim rules in locale variant, more default
  3765     intro/elim rules in class variant: more uniformity
  3766   - lemma ge_sup_conv renamed to le_sup_iff, in accordance with
  3767     le_inf_iff
  3768   - dropped lemma alias inf_ACI for inf_aci (same for sup_ACI and
  3769     sup_aci)
  3770   - renamed ACI to inf_sup_aci
  3771   - new class "boolean_algebra"
  3772   - class "complete_lattice" moved to separate theory
  3773     "Complete_Lattice"; corresponding constants (and abbreviations)
  3774     renamed and with authentic syntax:
  3775     Set.Inf ~>    Complete_Lattice.Inf
  3776     Set.Sup ~>    Complete_Lattice.Sup
  3777     Set.INFI ~>   Complete_Lattice.INFI
  3778     Set.SUPR ~>   Complete_Lattice.SUPR
  3779     Set.Inter ~>  Complete_Lattice.Inter
  3780     Set.Union ~>  Complete_Lattice.Union
  3781     Set.INTER ~>  Complete_Lattice.INTER
  3782     Set.UNION ~>  Complete_Lattice.UNION
  3783   - authentic syntax for
  3784     Set.Pow
  3785     Set.image
  3786   - mere abbreviations:
  3787     Set.empty               (for bot)
  3788     Set.UNIV                (for top)
  3789     Set.inter               (for inf, formerly Set.Int)
  3790     Set.union               (for sup, formerly Set.Un)
  3791     Complete_Lattice.Inter  (for Inf)
  3792     Complete_Lattice.Union  (for Sup)
  3793     Complete_Lattice.INTER  (for INFI)
  3794     Complete_Lattice.UNION  (for SUPR)
  3795   - object-logic definitions as far as appropriate
  3796 
  3797 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Care is required when theorems Int_subset_iff or
  3798 Un_subset_iff are explicitly deleted as default simp rules; then also
  3799 their lattice counterparts le_inf_iff and le_sup_iff have to be
  3800 deleted to achieve the desired effect.
  3801 
  3802 * Rules inf_absorb1, inf_absorb2, sup_absorb1, sup_absorb2 are no simp
  3803 rules by default any longer; the same applies to min_max.inf_absorb1
  3804 etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3805 
  3806 * Rules sup_Int_eq and sup_Un_eq are no longer declared as
  3807 pred_set_conv by default.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3808 
  3809 * Power operations on relations and functions are now one dedicated
  3810 constant "compow" with infix syntax "^^".  Power operation on
  3811 multiplicative monoids retains syntax "^" and is now defined generic
  3812 in class power.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3813 
  3814 * Relation composition "R O S" now has a more standard argument order:
  3815 "R O S = {(x, z). EX y. (x, y) : R & (y, z) : S}".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  3816 rewrite propositions with "S O R" --> "R O S". Proofs may occasionally
  3817 break, since the O_assoc rule was not rewritten like this.  Fix using
  3818 O_assoc[symmetric].  The same applies to the curried version "R OO S".
  3819 
  3820 * Function "Inv" is renamed to "inv_into" and function "inv" is now an
  3821 abbreviation for "inv_into UNIV".  Lemmas are renamed accordingly.
  3822 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3823 
  3824 * Most rules produced by inductive and datatype package have mandatory
  3825 prefixes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3826 
  3827 * Changed "DERIV_intros" to a dynamic fact, which can be augmented by
  3828 the attribute of the same name.  Each of the theorems in the list
  3829 DERIV_intros assumes composition with an additional function and
  3830 matches a variable to the derivative, which has to be solved by the
  3831 Simplifier.  Hence (auto intro!: DERIV_intros) computes the derivative
  3832 of most elementary terms.  Former Maclauren.DERIV_tac and
  3833 Maclauren.deriv_tac should be replaced by (auto intro!: DERIV_intros).
  3834 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3835 
  3836 * Code generator attributes follow the usual underscore convention:
  3837     code_unfold     replaces    code unfold
  3838     code_post       replaces    code post
  3839     etc.
  3840   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3841 
  3842 * Renamed methods:
  3843     sizechange -> size_change
  3844     induct_scheme -> induction_schema
  3845   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3846 
  3847 * Discontinued abbreviation "arbitrary" of constant "undefined".
  3848 INCOMPATIBILITY, use "undefined" directly.
  3849 
  3850 * Renamed theorems:
  3851     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  3852     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1_left -> Suc_eq_plus1_left
  3853     Suc_plus1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  3854     *anti_sym -> *antisym*
  3855     vector_less_eq_def -> vector_le_def
  3856   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3857 
  3858 * Added theorem List.map_map as [simp].  Removed List.map_compose.
  3859 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3860 
  3861 * Removed predicate "M hassize n" (<--> card M = n & finite M).
  3862 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3863 
  3864 
  3865 *** HOLCF ***
  3866 
  3867 * Theory Representable defines a class "rep" of domains that are
  3868 representable (via an ep-pair) in the universal domain type "udom".
  3869 Instances are provided for all type constructors defined in HOLCF.
  3870 
  3871 * The 'new_domain' command is a purely definitional version of the
  3872 domain package, for representable domains.  Syntax is identical to the
  3873 old domain package.  The 'new_domain' package also supports indirect
  3874 recursion using previously-defined type constructors.  See
  3875 src/HOLCF/ex/New_Domain.thy for examples.
  3876 
  3877 * Method "fixrec_simp" unfolds one step of a fixrec-defined constant
  3878 on the left-hand side of an equation, and then performs
  3879 simplification.  Rewriting is done using rules declared with the
  3880 "fixrec_simp" attribute.  The "fixrec_simp" method is intended as a
  3881 replacement for "fixpat"; see src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples.
  3882 
  3883 * The pattern-match compiler in 'fixrec' can now handle constructors
  3884 with HOL function types.  Pattern-match combinators for the Pair
  3885 constructor are pre-configured.
  3886 
  3887 * The 'fixrec' package now produces better fixed-point induction rules
  3888 for mutually-recursive definitions:  Induction rules have conclusions
  3889 of the form "P foo bar" instead of "P <foo, bar>".
  3890 
  3891 * The constant "sq_le" (with infix syntax "<<" or "\<sqsubseteq>") has
  3892 been renamed to "below".  The name "below" now replaces "less" in many
  3893 theorem names.  (Legacy theorem names using "less" are still supported
  3894 as well.)
  3895 
  3896 * The 'fixrec' package now supports "bottom patterns".  Bottom
  3897 patterns can be used to generate strictness rules, or to make
  3898 functions more strict (much like the bang-patterns supported by the
  3899 Glasgow Haskell Compiler).  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  3900 examples.
  3901 
  3902 
  3903 *** ML ***
  3904 
  3905 * Support for Poly/ML 5.3.0, with improved reporting of compiler
  3906 errors and run-time exceptions, including detailed source positions.
  3907 
  3908 * Structure Name_Space (formerly NameSpace) now manages uniquely
  3909 identified entries, with some additional information such as source
  3910 position, logical grouping etc.
  3911 
  3912 * Theory and context data is now introduced by the simplified and
  3913 modernized functors Theory_Data, Proof_Data, Generic_Data.  Data needs
  3914 to be pure, but the old TheoryDataFun for mutable data (with explicit
  3915 copy operation) is still available for some time.
  3916 
  3917 * Structure Synchronized (cf. src/Pure/Concurrent/synchronized.ML)
  3918 provides a high-level programming interface to synchronized state
  3919 variables with atomic update.  This works via pure function
  3920 application within a critical section -- its runtime should be as
  3921 short as possible; beware of deadlocks if critical code is nested,
  3922 either directly or indirectly via other synchronized variables!
  3923 
  3924 * Structure Unsynchronized (cf. src/Pure/ML-Systems/unsynchronized.ML)
  3925 wraps raw ML references, explicitly indicating their non-thread-safe
  3926 behaviour.  The Isar toplevel keeps this structure open, to
  3927 accommodate Proof General as well as quick and dirty interactive
  3928 experiments with references.
  3929 
  3930 * PARALLEL_CHOICE and PARALLEL_GOALS provide basic support for
  3931 parallel tactical reasoning.
  3932 
  3933 * Tacticals Subgoal.FOCUS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PREMS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PARAMS
  3934 are similar to SUBPROOF, but are slightly more flexible: only the
  3935 specified parts of the subgoal are imported into the context, and the
  3936 body tactic may introduce new subgoals and schematic variables.
  3937 
  3938 * Old tactical METAHYPS, which does not observe the proof context, has
  3939 been renamed to Old_Goals.METAHYPS and awaits deletion.  Use SUBPROOF
  3940 or Subgoal.FOCUS etc.
  3941 
  3942 * Renamed functor TableFun to Table, and GraphFun to Graph.  (Since
  3943 functors have their own ML name space there is no point to mark them
  3944 separately.)  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3945 
  3946 * Renamed NamedThmsFun to Named_Thms.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3947 
  3948 * Renamed several structures FooBar to Foo_Bar.  Occasional,
  3949 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3950 
  3951 * Operations of structure Skip_Proof no longer require quick_and_dirty
  3952 mode, which avoids critical setmp.
  3953 
  3954 * Eliminated old Attrib.add_attributes, Method.add_methods and related
  3955 combinators for "args".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use simplified
  3956 Attrib/Method.setup introduced in Isabelle2009.
  3957 
  3958 * Proper context for simpset_of, claset_of, clasimpset_of.  May fall
  3959 back on global_simpset_of, global_claset_of, global_clasimpset_of as
  3960 last resort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3961 
  3962 * Display.pretty_thm now requires a proper context (cf. former
  3963 ProofContext.pretty_thm).  May fall back on Display.pretty_thm_global
  3964 or even Display.pretty_thm_without_context as last resort.
  3965 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3966 
  3967 * Discontinued Display.pretty_ctyp/cterm etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  3968 Syntax.pretty_typ/term directly, preferably with proper context
  3969 instead of global theory.
  3970 
  3971 
  3972 *** System ***
  3973 
  3974 * Further fine tuning of parallel proof checking, scales up to 8 cores
  3975 (max. speedup factor 5.0).  See also Goal.parallel_proofs in ML and
  3976 usedir option -q.
  3977 
  3978 * Support for additional "Isabelle components" via etc/components, see
  3979 also the system manual.
  3980 
  3981 * The isabelle makeall tool now operates on all components with
  3982 IsaMakefile, not just hardwired "logics".
  3983 
  3984 * Removed "compress" option from isabelle-process and isabelle usedir;
  3985 this is always enabled.
  3986 
  3987 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 4.x versions.
  3988 
  3989 * Isabelle tool "wwwfind" provides web interface for 'find_theorems'
  3990 on a given logic image.  This requires the lighttpd webserver and is
  3991 currently supported on Linux only.
  3992 
  3993 
  3994 
  3995 New in Isabelle2009 (April 2009)
  3996 --------------------------------
  3997 
  3998 *** General ***
  3999 
  4000 * Simplified main Isabelle executables, with less surprises on
  4001 case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  4002 
  4003   - The main Isabelle tool wrapper is now called "isabelle" instead of
  4004     "isatool."
  4005 
  4006   - The former "isabelle" alias for "isabelle-process" has been
  4007     removed (should rarely occur to regular users).
  4008 
  4009   - The former "isabelle-interface" and its alias "Isabelle" have been
  4010     removed (interfaces are now regular Isabelle tools).
  4011 
  4012 Within scripts and make files, the Isabelle environment variables
  4013 ISABELLE_TOOL and ISABELLE_PROCESS replace old ISATOOL and ISABELLE,
  4014 respectively.  (The latter are still available as legacy feature.)
  4015 
  4016 The old isabelle-interface wrapper could react in confusing ways if
  4017 the interface was uninstalled or changed otherwise.  Individual
  4018 interface tool configuration is now more explicit, see also the
  4019 Isabelle system manual.  In particular, Proof General is now available
  4020 via "isabelle emacs".
  4021 
  4022 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt derivative scripts.  Users may need to
  4023 purge installed copies of Isabelle executables and re-run "isabelle
  4024 install -p ...", or use symlinks.
  4025 
  4026 * The default for ISABELLE_HOME_USER is now ~/.isabelle instead of the
  4027 old ~/isabelle, which was slightly non-standard and apt to cause
  4028 surprises on case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  4029 
  4030 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to move existing ~/isabelle/etc,
  4031 ~/isabelle/heaps, ~/isabelle/browser_info to the new place.  Special
  4032 care is required when using older releases of Isabelle.  Note that
  4033 ISABELLE_HOME_USER can be changed in Isabelle/etc/settings of any
  4034 Isabelle distribution, in order to use the new ~/.isabelle uniformly.
  4035 
  4036 * Proofs of fully specified statements are run in parallel on
  4037 multi-core systems.  A speedup factor of 2.5 to 3.2 can be expected on
  4038 a regular 4-core machine, if the initial heap space is made reasonably
  4039 large (cf. Poly/ML option -H).  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  4040 
  4041 * The main reference manuals ("isar-ref", "implementation", and
  4042 "system") have been updated and extended.  Formally checked references
  4043 as hyperlinks are now available uniformly.
  4044 
  4045 
  4046 *** Pure ***
  4047 
  4048 * Complete re-implementation of locales.  INCOMPATIBILITY in several
  4049 respects.  The most important changes are listed below.  See the
  4050 Tutorial on Locales ("locales" manual) for details.
  4051 
  4052 - In locale expressions, instantiation replaces renaming.  Parameters
  4053 must be declared in a for clause.  To aid compatibility with previous
  4054 parameter inheritance, in locale declarations, parameters that are not
  4055 'touched' (instantiation position "_" or omitted) are implicitly added
  4056 with their syntax at the beginning of the for clause.
  4057 
  4058 - Syntax from abbreviations and definitions in locales is available in
  4059 locale expressions and context elements.  The latter is particularly
  4060 useful in locale declarations.
  4061 
  4062 - More flexible mechanisms to qualify names generated by locale
  4063 expressions.  Qualifiers (prefixes) may be specified in locale
  4064 expressions, and can be marked as mandatory (syntax: "name!:") or
  4065 optional (syntax "name?:").  The default depends for plain "name:"
  4066 depends on the situation where a locale expression is used: in
  4067 commands 'locale' and 'sublocale' prefixes are optional, in
  4068 'interpretation' and 'interpret' prefixes are mandatory.  The old
  4069 implicit qualifiers derived from the parameter names of a locale are
  4070 no longer generated.
  4071 
  4072 - Command "sublocale l < e" replaces "interpretation l < e".  The
  4073 instantiation clause in "interpretation" and "interpret" (square
  4074 brackets) is no longer available.  Use locale expressions.
  4075 
  4076 - When converting proof scripts, mandatory qualifiers in
  4077 'interpretation' and 'interpret' should be retained by default, even
  4078 if this is an INCOMPATIBILITY compared to former behavior.  In the
  4079 worst case, use the "name?:" form for non-mandatory ones.  Qualifiers
  4080 in locale expressions range over a single locale instance only.
  4081 
  4082 - Dropped locale element "includes".  This is a major INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4083 In existing theorem specifications replace the includes element by the
  4084 respective context elements of the included locale, omitting those
  4085 that are already present in the theorem specification.  Multiple
  4086 assume elements of a locale should be replaced by a single one
  4087 involving the locale predicate.  In the proof body, declarations (most
  4088 notably theorems) may be regained by interpreting the respective
  4089 locales in the proof context as required (command "interpret").
  4090 
  4091 If using "includes" in replacement of a target solely because the
  4092 parameter types in the theorem are not as general as in the target,
  4093 consider declaring a new locale with additional type constraints on
  4094 the parameters (context element "constrains").
  4095 
  4096 - Discontinued "locale (open)".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4097 
  4098 - Locale interpretation commands no longer attempt to simplify goal.
  4099 INCOMPATIBILITY: in rare situations the generated goal differs.  Use
  4100 methods intro_locales and unfold_locales to clarify.
  4101 
  4102 - Locale interpretation commands no longer accept interpretation
  4103 attributes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4104 
  4105 * Class declaration: so-called "base sort" must not be given in import
  4106 list any longer, but is inferred from the specification.  Particularly
  4107 in HOL, write
  4108 
  4109     class foo = ...
  4110 
  4111 instead of
  4112 
  4113     class foo = type + ...
  4114 
  4115 * Class target: global versions of theorems stemming do not carry a
  4116 parameter prefix any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4117 
  4118 * Class 'instance' command no longer accepts attached definitions.
  4119 INCOMPATIBILITY, use proper 'instantiation' target instead.
  4120 
  4121 * Recovered hiding of consts, which was accidentally broken in
  4122 Isabelle2007.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, ``hide const c'' really
  4123 makes c inaccessible; consider using ``hide (open) const c'' instead.
  4124 
  4125 * Slightly more coherent Pure syntax, with updated documentation in
  4126 isar-ref manual.  Removed locales meta_term_syntax and
  4127 meta_conjunction_syntax: TERM and &&& (formerly &&) are now permanent,
  4128 INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations.  Note that &&& should not be used
  4129 directly in regular applications.
  4130 
  4131 * There is a new syntactic category "float_const" for signed decimal
  4132 fractions (e.g. 123.45 or -123.45).
  4133 
  4134 * Removed exotic 'token_translation' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML
  4135 interface with 'setup' command instead.
  4136 
  4137 * Command 'local_setup' is similar to 'setup', but operates on a local
  4138 theory context.
  4139 
  4140 * The 'axiomatization' command now only works within a global theory
  4141 context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4142 
  4143 * Goal-directed proof now enforces strict proof irrelevance wrt. sort
  4144 hypotheses.  Sorts required in the course of reasoning need to be
  4145 covered by the constraints in the initial statement, completed by the
  4146 type instance information of the background theory.  Non-trivial sort
  4147 hypotheses, which rarely occur in practice, may be specified via
  4148 vacuous propositions of the form SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::c).  For example:
  4149 
  4150   lemma assumes "SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::empty)" shows False ...
  4151 
  4152 The result contains an implicit sort hypotheses as before --
  4153 SORT_CONSTRAINT premises are eliminated as part of the canonical rule
  4154 normalization.
  4155 
  4156 * Generalized Isar history, with support for linear undo, direct state
  4157 addressing etc.
  4158 
  4159 * Changed defaults for unify configuration options:
  4160 
  4161   unify_trace_bound = 50 (formerly 25)
  4162   unify_search_bound = 60 (formerly 30)
  4163 
  4164 * Different bookkeeping for code equations (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  4165 
  4166   a) On theory merge, the last set of code equations for a particular
  4167      constant is taken (in accordance with the policy applied by other
  4168      parts of the code generator framework).
  4169 
  4170   b) Code equations stemming from explicit declarations (e.g. code
  4171      attribute) gain priority over default code equations stemming
  4172      from definition, primrec, fun etc.
  4173 
  4174 * Keyword 'code_exception' now named 'code_abort'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4175 
  4176 * Unified theorem tables for both code generators.  Thus [code
  4177 func] has disappeared and only [code] remains.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4178 
  4179 * Command 'find_consts' searches for constants based on type and name
  4180 patterns, e.g.
  4181 
  4182     find_consts "_ => bool"
  4183 
  4184 By default, matching is against subtypes, but it may be restricted to
  4185 the whole type.  Searching by name is possible.  Multiple queries are
  4186 conjunctive and queries may be negated by prefixing them with a
  4187 hyphen:
  4188 
  4189     find_consts strict: "_ => bool" name: "Int" -"int => int"
  4190 
  4191 * New 'find_theorems' criterion "solves" matches theorems that
  4192 directly solve the current goal (modulo higher-order unification).
  4193 
  4194 * Auto solve feature for main theorem statements: whenever a new goal
  4195 is stated, "find_theorems solves" is called; any theorems that could
  4196 solve the lemma directly are listed as part of the goal state.
  4197 Cf. associated options in Proof General Isabelle settings menu,
  4198 enabled by default, with reasonable timeout for pathological cases of
  4199 higher-order unification.
  4200 
  4201 
  4202 *** Document preparation ***
  4203 
  4204 * Antiquotation @{lemma} now imitates a regular terminal proof,
  4205 demanding keyword 'by' and supporting the full method expression
  4206 syntax just like the Isar command 'by'.
  4207 
  4208 
  4209 *** HOL ***
  4210 
  4211 * Integrated main parts of former image HOL-Complex with HOL.  Entry
  4212 points Main and Complex_Main remain as before.
  4213 
  4214 * Logic image HOL-Plain provides a minimal HOL with the most important
  4215 tools available (inductive, datatype, primrec, ...).  This facilitates
  4216 experimentation and tool development.  Note that user applications
  4217 (and library theories) should never refer to anything below theory
  4218 Main, as before.
  4219 
  4220 * Logic image HOL-Main stops at theory Main, and thus facilitates
  4221 experimentation due to shorter build times.
  4222 
  4223 * Logic image HOL-NSA contains theories of nonstandard analysis which
  4224 were previously part of former HOL-Complex.  Entry point Hyperreal
  4225 remains valid, but theories formerly using Complex_Main should now use
  4226 new entry point Hypercomplex.
  4227 
  4228 * Generic ATP manager for Sledgehammer, based on ML threads instead of
  4229 Posix processes.  Avoids potentially expensive forking of the ML
  4230 process.  New thread-based implementation also works on non-Unix
  4231 platforms (Cygwin).  Provers are no longer hardwired, but defined
  4232 within the theory via plain ML wrapper functions.  Basic Sledgehammer
  4233 commands are covered in the isar-ref manual.
  4234 
  4235 * Wrapper scripts for remote SystemOnTPTP service allows to use
  4236 sledgehammer without local ATP installation (Vampire etc.). Other
  4237 provers may be included via suitable ML wrappers, see also
  4238 src/HOL/ATP_Linkup.thy.
  4239 
  4240 * ATP selection (E/Vampire/Spass) is now via Proof General's settings
  4241 menu.
  4242 
  4243 * The metis method no longer fails because the theorem is too trivial
  4244 (contains the empty clause).
  4245 
  4246 * The metis method now fails in the usual manner, rather than raising
  4247 an exception, if it determines that it cannot prove the theorem.
  4248 
  4249 * Method "coherent" implements a prover for coherent logic (see also
  4250 src/Tools/coherent.ML).
  4251 
  4252 * Constants "undefined" and "default" replace "arbitrary".  Usually
  4253 "undefined" is the right choice to replace "arbitrary", though
  4254 logically there is no difference.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4255 
  4256 * Command "value" now integrates different evaluation mechanisms.  The
  4257 result of the first successful evaluation mechanism is printed.  In
  4258 square brackets a particular named evaluation mechanisms may be
  4259 specified (currently, [SML], [code] or [nbe]).  See further
  4260 src/HOL/ex/Eval_Examples.thy.
  4261 
  4262 * Normalization by evaluation now allows non-leftlinear equations.
  4263 Declare with attribute [code nbe].
  4264 
  4265 * Methods "case_tac" and "induct_tac" now refer to the very same rules
  4266 as the structured Isar versions "cases" and "induct", cf. the
  4267 corresponding "cases" and "induct" attributes.  Mutual induction rules
  4268 are now presented as a list of individual projections
  4269 (e.g. foo_bar.inducts for types foo and bar); the old format with
  4270 explicit HOL conjunction is no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  4271 rare situations a different rule is selected --- notably nested tuple
  4272 elimination instead of former prod.exhaust: use explicit (case_tac t
  4273 rule: prod.exhaust) here.
  4274 
  4275 * Attributes "cases", "induct", "coinduct" support "del" option.
  4276 
  4277 * Removed fact "case_split_thm", which duplicates "case_split".
  4278 
  4279 * The option datatype has been moved to a new theory Option.  Renamed
  4280 option_map to Option.map, and o2s to Option.set, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4281 
  4282 * New predicate "strict_mono" classifies strict functions on partial
  4283 orders.  With strict functions on linear orders, reasoning about
  4284 (in)equalities is facilitated by theorems "strict_mono_eq",
  4285 "strict_mono_less_eq" and "strict_mono_less".
  4286 
  4287 * Some set operations are now proper qualified constants with
  4288 authentic syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4289 
  4290     op Int ~>   Set.Int
  4291     op Un ~>    Set.Un
  4292     INTER ~>    Set.INTER
  4293     UNION ~>    Set.UNION
  4294     Inter ~>    Set.Inter
  4295     Union ~>    Set.Union
  4296     {} ~>       Set.empty
  4297     UNIV ~>     Set.UNIV
  4298 
  4299 * Class complete_lattice with operations Inf, Sup, INFI, SUPR now in
  4300 theory Set.
  4301 
  4302 * Auxiliary class "itself" has disappeared -- classes without any
  4303 parameter are treated as expected by the 'class' command.
  4304 
  4305 * Leibnitz's Series for Pi and the arcus tangens and logarithm series.
  4306 
  4307 * Common decision procedures (Cooper, MIR, Ferrack, Approximation,
  4308 Dense_Linear_Order) are now in directory HOL/Decision_Procs.
  4309 
  4310 * Theory src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation provides the new proof
  4311 method "approximation".  It proves formulas on real values by using
  4312 interval arithmetic.  In the formulas are also the transcendental
  4313 functions sin, cos, tan, atan, ln, exp and the constant pi are
  4314 allowed. For examples see
  4315 src/HOL/Descision_Procs/ex/Approximation_Ex.thy.
  4316 
  4317 * Theory "Reflection" now resides in HOL/Library.
  4318 
  4319 * Entry point to Word library now simply named "Word".
  4320 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4321 
  4322 * Made source layout more coherent with logical distribution
  4323 structure:

  4376 
  4377 * If methods "eval" and "evaluation" encounter a structured proof
  4378 state with !!/==>, only the conclusion is evaluated to True (if
  4379 possible), avoiding strange error messages.
  4380 
  4381 * Method "sizechange" automates termination proofs using (a
  4382 modification of) the size-change principle.  Requires SAT solver.  See
  4383 src/HOL/ex/Termination.thy for examples.
  4384 
  4385 * Simplifier: simproc for let expressions now unfolds if bound
  4386 variable occurs at most once in let expression body.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4387 
  4388 * Method "arith": Linear arithmetic now ignores all inequalities when
  4389 fast_arith_neq_limit is exceeded, instead of giving up entirely.
  4390 
  4391 * New attribute "arith" for facts that should always be used
  4392 automatically by arithmetic. It is intended to be used locally in
  4393 proofs, e.g.
  4394 
  4395   assumes [arith]: "x > 0"
  4396 
  4397 Global usage is discouraged because of possible performance impact.
  4398 
  4399 * New classes "top" and "bot" with corresponding operations "top" and
  4400 "bot" in theory Orderings; instantiation of class "complete_lattice"
  4401 requires instantiation of classes "top" and "bot".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4402 
  4403 * Changed definition lemma "less_fun_def" in order to provide an
  4404 instance for preorders on functions; use lemma "less_le" instead.
  4405 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4406 
  4407 * Theory Orderings: class "wellorder" moved here, with explicit
  4408 induction rule "less_induct" as assumption.  For instantiation of
  4409 "wellorder" by means of predicate "wf", use rule wf_wellorderI.
  4410 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4411 
  4412 * Theory Orderings: added class "preorder" as superclass of "order".
  4413 INCOMPATIBILITY: Instantiation proofs for order, linorder
  4414 etc. slightly changed.  Some theorems named order_class.* now named
  4415 preorder_class.*.
  4416 
  4417 * Theory Relation: renamed "refl" to "refl_on", "reflexive" to "refl,
  4418 "diag" to "Id_on".
  4419 
  4420 * Theory Finite_Set: added a new fold combinator of type
  4421 
  4422   ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  4423 
  4424 Occasionally this is more convenient than the old fold combinator
  4425 which is now defined in terms of the new one and renamed to
  4426 fold_image.
  4427 
  4428 * Theories Ring_and_Field and OrderedGroup: The lemmas "group_simps"
  4429 and "ring_simps" have been replaced by "algebra_simps" (which can be
  4430 extended with further lemmas!).  At the moment both still exist but
  4431 the former will disappear at some point.
  4432 
  4433 * Theory Power: Lemma power_Suc is now declared as a simp rule in
  4434 class recpower.  Type-specific simp rules for various recpower types
  4435 have been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, rename old lemmas as follows:
  4436 
  4437 rat_power_0    -> power_0
  4438 rat_power_Suc  -> power_Suc
  4439 realpow_0      -> power_0
  4440 realpow_Suc    -> power_Suc
  4441 complexpow_0   -> power_0
  4442 complexpow_Suc -> power_Suc
  4443 power_poly_0   -> power_0
  4444 power_poly_Suc -> power_Suc
  4445 
  4446 * Theories Ring_and_Field and Divides: Definition of "op dvd" has been
  4447 moved to separate class dvd in Ring_and_Field; a couple of lemmas on
  4448 dvd has been generalized to class comm_semiring_1.  Likewise a bunch
  4449 of lemmas from Divides has been generalized from nat to class
  4450 semiring_div.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  This involves the following theorem
  4451 renames resulting from duplicate elimination:
  4452 
  4453     dvd_def_mod ~>          dvd_eq_mod_eq_0
  4454     zero_dvd_iff ~>         dvd_0_left_iff
  4455     dvd_0 ~>                dvd_0_right
  4456     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_DIV ~> div_by_0
  4457     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_MOD ~> mod_by_0
  4458     mult_div ~>             div_mult_self2_is_id
  4459     mult_mod ~>             mod_mult_self2_is_0
  4460 
  4461 * Theory IntDiv: removed many lemmas that are instances of class-based
  4462 generalizations (from Divides and Ring_and_Field).  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4463 rename old lemmas as follows:
  4464 
  4465 dvd_diff               -> nat_dvd_diff
  4466 dvd_zminus_iff         -> dvd_minus_iff
  4467 mod_add1_eq            -> mod_add_eq
  4468 mod_mult1_eq           -> mod_mult_right_eq
  4469 mod_mult1_eq'          -> mod_mult_left_eq
  4470 mod_mult_distrib_mod   -> mod_mult_eq
  4471 nat_mod_add_left_eq    -> mod_add_left_eq
  4472 nat_mod_add_right_eq   -> mod_add_right_eq
  4473 nat_mod_div_trivial    -> mod_div_trivial
  4474 nat_mod_mod_trivial    -> mod_mod_trivial
  4475 zdiv_zadd_self1        -> div_add_self1
  4476 zdiv_zadd_self2        -> div_add_self2
  4477 zdiv_zmult_self1       -> div_mult_self2_is_id
  4478 zdiv_zmult_self2       -> div_mult_self1_is_id
  4479 zdvd_triv_left         -> dvd_triv_left
  4480 zdvd_triv_right        -> dvd_triv_right
  4481 zdvd_zmult_cancel_disj -> dvd_mult_cancel_left
  4482 zmod_eq0_zdvd_iff      -> dvd_eq_mod_eq_0[symmetric]
  4483 zmod_zadd_left_eq      -> mod_add_left_eq
  4484 zmod_zadd_right_eq     -> mod_add_right_eq
  4485 zmod_zadd_self1        -> mod_add_self1
  4486 zmod_zadd_self2        -> mod_add_self2
  4487 zmod_zadd1_eq          -> mod_add_eq
  4488 zmod_zdiff1_eq         -> mod_diff_eq
  4489 zmod_zdvd_zmod         -> mod_mod_cancel
  4490 zmod_zmod_cancel       -> mod_mod_cancel
  4491 zmod_zmult_self1       -> mod_mult_self2_is_0
  4492 zmod_zmult_self2       -> mod_mult_self1_is_0
  4493 zmod_1                 -> mod_by_1
  4494 zdiv_1                 -> div_by_1
  4495 zdvd_abs1              -> abs_dvd_iff
  4496 zdvd_abs2              -> dvd_abs_iff
  4497 zdvd_refl              -> dvd_refl
  4498 zdvd_trans             -> dvd_trans
  4499 zdvd_zadd              -> dvd_add
  4500 zdvd_zdiff             -> dvd_diff
  4501 zdvd_zminus_iff        -> dvd_minus_iff
  4502 zdvd_zminus2_iff       -> minus_dvd_iff
  4503 zdvd_zmultD            -> dvd_mult_right
  4504 zdvd_zmultD2           -> dvd_mult_left
  4505 zdvd_zmult_mono        -> mult_dvd_mono
  4506 zdvd_0_right           -> dvd_0_right
  4507 zdvd_0_left            -> dvd_0_left_iff
  4508 zdvd_1_left            -> one_dvd
  4509 zminus_dvd_iff         -> minus_dvd_iff
  4510 
  4511 * Theory Rational: 'Fract k 0' now equals '0'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4512 
  4513 * The real numbers offer decimal input syntax: 12.34 is translated
  4514 into 1234/10^2. This translation is not reversed upon output.
  4515 
  4516 * Theory Library/Polynomial defines an abstract type 'a poly of
  4517 univariate polynomials with coefficients of type 'a.  In addition to
  4518 the standard ring operations, it also supports div and mod.  Code
  4519 generation is also supported, using list-style constructors.
  4520 
  4521 * Theory Library/Inner_Product defines a class of real_inner for real
  4522 inner product spaces, with an overloaded operation inner :: 'a => 'a
  4523 => real.  Class real_inner is a subclass of real_normed_vector from
  4524 theory RealVector.
  4525 
  4526 * Theory Library/Product_Vector provides instances for the product
  4527 type 'a * 'b of several classes from RealVector and Inner_Product.
  4528 Definitions of addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, norms,
  4529 and inner products are included.
  4530 
  4531 * Theory Library/Bit defines the field "bit" of integers modulo 2.  In
  4532 addition to the field operations, numerals and case syntax are also
  4533 supported.
  4534 
  4535 * Theory Library/Diagonalize provides constructive version of Cantor's
  4536 first diagonalization argument.
  4537 
  4538 * Theory Library/GCD: Curried operations gcd, lcm (for nat) and zgcd,
  4539 zlcm (for int); carried together from various gcd/lcm developements in
  4540 the HOL Distribution.  Constants zgcd and zlcm replace former igcd and
  4541 ilcm; corresponding theorems renamed accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4542 may recover tupled syntax as follows:
  4543 
  4544     hide (open) const gcd
  4545     abbreviation gcd where
  4546       "gcd == (%(a, b). GCD.gcd a b)"
  4547     notation (output)
  4548       GCD.gcd ("gcd '(_, _')")
  4549 
  4550 The same works for lcm, zgcd, zlcm.
  4551 
  4552 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity: added addition, numeral syntax and more
  4553 instantiations for algebraic structures.  Removed some duplicate
  4554 theorems.  Changes in simp rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4555 
  4556 * ML antiquotation @{code} takes a constant as argument and generates
  4557 corresponding code in background and inserts name of the corresponding
  4558 resulting ML value/function/datatype constructor binding in place.
  4559 All occurrences of @{code} with a single ML block are generated
  4560 simultaneously.  Provides a generic and safe interface for
  4561 instrumentalizing code generation.  See
  4562 src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Ferrack.thy for a more ambitious application.
  4563 In future you ought to refrain from ad-hoc compiling generated SML
  4564 code on the ML toplevel.  Note that (for technical reasons) @{code}
  4565 cannot refer to constants for which user-defined serializations are
  4566 set.  Refer to the corresponding ML counterpart directly in that
  4567 cases.
  4568 
  4569 * Command 'rep_datatype': instead of theorem names the command now
  4570 takes a list of terms denoting the constructors of the type to be
  4571 represented as datatype.  The characteristic theorems have to be
  4572 proven.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Also observe that the following theorems
  4573 have disappeared in favour of existing ones:
  4574 
  4575     unit_induct                 ~> unit.induct
  4576     prod_induct                 ~> prod.induct
  4577     sum_induct                  ~> sum.induct
  4578     Suc_Suc_eq                  ~> nat.inject
  4579     Suc_not_Zero Zero_not_Suc   ~> nat.distinct
  4580 
  4581 
  4582 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  4583 
  4584 * New locales for orders and lattices where the equivalence relation
  4585 is not restricted to equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY: all order and lattice
  4586 locales use a record structure with field eq for the equivalence.
  4587 
  4588 * New theory of factorial domains.
  4589 
  4590 * Units_l_inv and Units_r_inv are now simp rules by default.
  4591 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Simplifier proof that require deletion of l_inv
  4592 and/or r_inv will now also require deletion of these lemmas.
  4593 
  4594 * Renamed the following theorems, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4595 
  4596 UpperD ~> Upper_memD
  4597 LowerD ~> Lower_memD
  4598 least_carrier ~> least_closed
  4599 greatest_carrier ~> greatest_closed
  4600 greatest_Lower_above ~> greatest_Lower_below
  4601 one_zero ~> carrier_one_zero
  4602 one_not_zero ~> carrier_one_not_zero  (collision with assumption)
  4603 
  4604 
  4605 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  4606 
  4607 * Nominal datatypes can now contain type-variables.
  4608 
  4609 * Commands 'nominal_inductive' and 'equivariance' work with local
  4610 theory targets.
  4611 
  4612 * Nominal primrec can now works with local theory targets and its
  4613 specification syntax now conforms to the general format as seen in
  4614 'inductive' etc.
  4615 
  4616 * Method "perm_simp" honours the standard simplifier attributes
  4617 (no_asm), (no_asm_use) etc.
  4618 
  4619 * The new predicate #* is defined like freshness, except that on the
  4620 left hand side can be a set or list of atoms.
  4621 
  4622 * Experimental command 'nominal_inductive2' derives strong induction
  4623 principles for inductive definitions.  In contrast to
  4624 'nominal_inductive', which can only deal with a fixed number of
  4625 binders, it can deal with arbitrary expressions standing for sets of
  4626 atoms to be avoided.  The only inductive definition we have at the
  4627 moment that needs this generalisation is the typing rule for Lets in
  4628 the algorithm W:
  4629 
  4630  Gamma |- t1 : T1   (x,close Gamma T1)::Gamma |- t2 : T2   x#Gamma
  4631  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  4632          Gamma |- Let x be t1 in t2 : T2
  4633 
  4634 In this rule one wants to avoid all the binders that are introduced by
  4635 "close Gamma T1".  We are looking for other examples where this
  4636 feature might be useful.  Please let us know.
  4637 
  4638 
  4639 *** HOLCF ***
  4640 
  4641 * Reimplemented the simplification procedure for proving continuity
  4642 subgoals.  The new simproc is extensible; users can declare additional
  4643 continuity introduction rules with the attribute [cont2cont].
  4644 
  4645 * The continuity simproc now uses a different introduction rule for
  4646 solving continuity subgoals on terms with lambda abstractions.  In
  4647 some rare cases the new simproc may fail to solve subgoals that the
  4648 old one could solve, and "simp add: cont2cont_LAM" may be necessary.
  4649 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4650 
  4651 * Command 'fixrec': specification syntax now conforms to the general
  4652 format as seen in 'inductive' etc.  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  4653 examples.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4654 
  4655 
  4656 *** ZF ***
  4657 
  4658 * Proof of Zorn's Lemma for partial orders.
  4659 
  4660 
  4661 *** ML ***
  4662 
  4663 * Multithreading for Poly/ML 5.1/5.2 is no longer supported, only for
  4664 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.  Important note: the TimeLimit facility
  4665 depends on multithreading, so timouts will not work before Poly/ML
  4666 5.2.1!
  4667 
  4668 * High-level support for concurrent ML programming, see
  4669 src/Pure/Cuncurrent.  The data-oriented model of "future values" is
  4670 particularly convenient to organize independent functional
  4671 computations.  The concept of "synchronized variables" provides a
  4672 higher-order interface for components with shared state, avoiding the
  4673 delicate details of mutexes and condition variables.  (Requires
  4674 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  4675 
  4676 * ML bindings produced via Isar commands are stored within the Isar
  4677 context (theory or proof).  Consequently, commands like 'use' and 'ML'
  4678 become thread-safe and work with undo as expected (concerning
  4679 top-level bindings, not side-effects on global references).
  4680 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to provide proper Isar context when invoking the
  4681 compiler at runtime; really global bindings need to be given outside a
  4682 theory.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  4683 
  4684 * Command 'ML_prf' is analogous to 'ML' but works within a proof
  4685 context.  Top-level ML bindings are stored within the proof context in
  4686 a purely sequential fashion, disregarding the nested proof structure.
  4687 ML bindings introduced by 'ML_prf' are discarded at the end of the
  4688 proof.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  4689 
  4690 * Simplified ML attribute and method setup, cf. functions Attrib.setup
  4691 and Method.setup, as well as Isar commands 'attribute_setup' and
  4692 'method_setup'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for 'method_setup', need to simplify
  4693 existing code accordingly, or use plain 'setup' together with old
  4694 Method.add_method.
  4695 
  4696 * Simplified ML oracle interface Thm.add_oracle promotes 'a -> cterm
  4697 to 'a -> thm, while results are always tagged with an authentic oracle
  4698 name.  The Isar command 'oracle' is now polymorphic, no argument type
  4699 is specified.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify existing oracle code
  4700 accordingly.  Note that extra performance may be gained by producing
  4701 the cterm carefully, avoiding slow Thm.cterm_of.
  4702 
  4703 * Simplified interface for defining document antiquotations via
  4704 ThyOutput.antiquotation, ThyOutput.output, and optionally
  4705 ThyOutput.maybe_pretty_source.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify user
  4706 antiquotations accordingly, see src/Pure/Thy/thy_output.ML for common
  4707 examples.
  4708 
  4709 * More systematic treatment of long names, abstract name bindings, and
  4710 name space operations.  Basic operations on qualified names have been
  4711 move from structure NameSpace to Long_Name, e.g. Long_Name.base_name,
  4712 Long_Name.append.  Old type bstring has been mostly replaced by
  4713 abstract type binding (see structure Binding), which supports precise
  4714 qualification by packages and local theory targets, as well as proper
  4715 tracking of source positions.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to wrap old
  4716 bstring values into Binding.name, or better pass through abstract
  4717 bindings everywhere.  See further src/Pure/General/long_name.ML,
  4718 src/Pure/General/binding.ML and src/Pure/General/name_space.ML
  4719 
  4720 * Result facts (from PureThy.note_thms, ProofContext.note_thms,
  4721 LocalTheory.note etc.) now refer to the *full* internal name, not the
  4722 bstring as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY, not detected by ML type-checking!
  4723 
  4724 * Disposed old type and term read functions (Sign.read_def_typ,
  4725 Sign.read_typ, Sign.read_def_terms, Sign.read_term,
  4726 Thm.read_def_cterms, Thm.read_cterm etc.).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should
  4727 use regular Syntax.read_typ, Syntax.read_term, Syntax.read_typ_global,
  4728 Syntax.read_term_global etc.; see also OldGoals.read_term as last
  4729 resort for legacy applications.
  4730 
  4731 * Disposed old declarations, tactics, tactic combinators that refer to
  4732 the simpset or claset of an implicit theory (such as Addsimps,
  4733 Simp_tac, SIMPSET).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should use @{simpset} etc. in
  4734 embedded ML text, or local_simpset_of with a proper context passed as
  4735 explicit runtime argument.
  4736 
  4737 * Rules and tactics that read instantiations (read_instantiate,
  4738 res_inst_tac, thin_tac, subgoal_tac etc.) now demand a proper proof
  4739 context, which is required for parsing and type-checking.  Moreover,
  4740 the variables are specified as plain indexnames, not string encodings
  4741 thereof.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4742 
  4743 * Generic Toplevel.add_hook interface allows to analyze the result of
  4744 transactions.  E.g. see src/Pure/ProofGeneral/proof_general_pgip.ML
  4745 for theorem dependency output of transactions resulting in a new
  4746 theory state.
  4747 
  4748 * ML antiquotations: block-structured compilation context indicated by
  4749 \<lbrace> ... \<rbrace>; additional antiquotation forms:
  4750 
  4751   @{binding name}                         - basic name binding
  4752   @{let ?pat = term}                      - term abbreviation (HO matching)
  4753   @{note name = fact}                     - fact abbreviation
  4754   @{thm fact}                             - singleton fact (with attributes)
  4755   @{thms fact}                            - general fact (with attributes)
  4756   @{lemma prop by method}                 - singleton goal
  4757   @{lemma prop by meth1 meth2}            - singleton goal
  4758   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by method}      - general goal
  4759   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by meth1 meth2} - general goal
  4760   @{lemma (open) ...}                     - open derivation
  4761 
  4762 
  4763 *** System ***
  4764 
  4765 * The Isabelle "emacs" tool provides a specific interface to invoke
  4766 Proof General / Emacs, with more explicit failure if that is not
  4767 installed (the old isabelle-interface script silently falls back on
  4768 isabelle-process).  The PROOFGENERAL_HOME setting determines the
  4769 installation location of the Proof General distribution.
  4770 
  4771 * Isabelle/lib/classes/Pure.jar provides basic support to integrate
  4772 the Isabelle process into a JVM/Scala application.  See
  4773 Isabelle/lib/jedit/plugin for a minimal example.  (The obsolete Java
  4774 process wrapper has been discontinued.)
  4775 
  4776 * Added homegrown Isabelle font with unicode layout, see lib/fonts.
  4777 
  4778 * Various status messages (with exact source position information) are
  4779 emitted, if proper markup print mode is enabled.  This allows
  4780 user-interface components to provide detailed feedback on internal
  4781 prover operations.
  4782 
  4783 
  4784 
  4785 New in Isabelle2008 (June 2008)
  4786 -------------------------------
  4787 
  4788 *** General ***
  4789 
  4790 * The Isabelle/Isar Reference Manual (isar-ref) has been reorganized
  4791 and updated, with formally checked references as hyperlinks.
  4792 
  4793 * Theory loader: use_thy (and similar operations) no longer set the
  4794 implicit ML context, which was occasionally hard to predict and in
  4795 conflict with concurrency.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML within Isar which
  4796 provides a proper context already.
  4797 
  4798 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  4799 file are no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, regular 'uses' and
  4800 'use' within a theory file will do the job.
  4801 
  4802 * Name space merge now observes canonical order, i.e. the second space
  4803 is inserted into the first one, while existing entries in the first
  4804 space take precedence.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, may try to
  4805 swap theory imports.
  4806 
  4807 * Syntax: symbol \<chi> is now considered a letter.  Potential
  4808 INCOMPATIBILITY in identifier syntax etc.
  4809 
  4810 * Outer syntax: string tokens no longer admit escaped white space,
  4811 which was an accidental (undocumented) feature.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  4812 white space without escapes.
  4813 
  4814 * Outer syntax: string tokens may contain arbitrary character codes
  4815 specified via 3 decimal digits (as in SML).  E.g. "foo\095bar" for
  4816 "foo_bar".
  4817 
  4818 
  4819 *** Pure ***
  4820 
  4821 * Context-dependent token translations.  Default setup reverts locally
  4822 fixed variables, and adds hilite markup for undeclared frees.
  4823 
  4824 * Unused theorems can be found using the new command 'unused_thms'.
  4825 There are three ways of invoking it:
  4826 
  4827 (1) unused_thms
  4828      Only finds unused theorems in the current theory.
  4829 
  4830 (2) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n -
  4831      Finds unused theorems in the current theory and all of its ancestors,
  4832      excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of their ancestors.
  4833 
  4834 (3) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n - thy'_1 ... thy'_m
  4835      Finds unused theorems in the theories thy'_1 ... thy'_m and all of
  4836      their ancestors, excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of
  4837      their ancestors.
  4838 
  4839 In order to increase the readability of the list produced by
  4840 unused_thms, theorems that have been created by a particular instance
  4841 of a theory command such as 'inductive' or 'function' are considered
  4842 to belong to the same "group", meaning that if at least one theorem in
  4843 this group is used, the other theorems in the same group are no longer
  4844 reported as unused.  Moreover, if all theorems in the group are
  4845 unused, only one theorem in the group is displayed.
  4846 
  4847 Note that proof objects have to be switched on in order for
  4848 unused_thms to work properly (i.e. !proofs must be >= 1, which is
  4849 usually the case when using Proof General with the default settings).
  4850 
  4851 * Authentic naming of facts disallows ad-hoc overwriting of previous
  4852 theorems within the same name space.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to remove
  4853 duplicate fact bindings, or even accidental fact duplications.  Note
  4854 that tools may maintain dynamically scoped facts systematically, using
  4855 PureThy.add_thms_dynamic.
  4856 
  4857 * Command 'hide' now allows to hide from "fact" name space as well.
  4858 
  4859 * Eliminated destructive theorem database, simpset, claset, and
  4860 clasimpset.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, really need to observe linear
  4861 update of theories within ML code.
  4862 
  4863 * Eliminated theory ProtoPure and CPure, leaving just one Pure theory.
  4864 INCOMPATIBILITY, object-logics depending on former Pure require
  4865 additional setup PureThy.old_appl_syntax_setup; object-logics
  4866 depending on former CPure need to refer to Pure.
  4867 
  4868 * Commands 'use' and 'ML' are now purely functional, operating on
  4869 theory/local_theory.  Removed former 'ML_setup' (on theory), use 'ML'
  4870 instead.  Added 'ML_val' as mere diagnostic replacement for 'ML'.
  4871 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4872 
  4873 * Command 'setup': discontinued implicit version with ML reference.
  4874 
  4875 * Instantiation target allows for simultaneous specification of class
  4876 instance operations together with an instantiation proof.
  4877 Type-checking phase allows to refer to class operations uniformly.
  4878 See src/HOL/Complex/Complex.thy for an Isar example and
  4879 src/HOL/Library/Eval.thy for an ML example.
  4880 
  4881 * Indexing of literal facts: be more serious about including only
  4882 facts from the visible specification/proof context, but not the
  4883 background context (locale etc.).  Affects `prop` notation and method
  4884 "fact".  INCOMPATIBILITY: need to name facts explicitly in rare
  4885 situations.
  4886 
  4887 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": removed obsolete/undocumented
  4888 "(open)" option, which used to expose internal bound variables to the
  4889 proof text.
  4890 
  4891 * Isar statements: removed obsolete case "rule_context".
  4892 INCOMPATIBILITY, better use explicit fixes/assumes.
  4893 
  4894 * Locale proofs: default proof step now includes 'unfold_locales';
  4895 hence 'proof' without argument may be used to unfold locale
  4896 predicates.
  4897 
  4898 
  4899 *** Document preparation ***
  4900 
  4901 * Simplified pdfsetup.sty: color/hyperref is used unconditionally for
  4902 both pdf and dvi (hyperlinks usually work in xdvi as well); removed
  4903 obsolete thumbpdf setup (contemporary PDF viewers do this on the
  4904 spot); renamed link color from "darkblue" to "linkcolor" (default
  4905 value unchanged, can be redefined via \definecolor); no longer sets
  4906 "a4paper" option (unnecessary or even intrusive).
  4907 
  4908 * Antiquotation @{lemma A method} proves proposition A by the given
  4909 method (either a method name or a method name plus (optional) method
  4910 arguments in parentheses) and prints A just like @{prop A}.
  4911 
  4912 
  4913 *** HOL ***
  4914 
  4915 * New primrec package.  Specification syntax conforms in style to
  4916 definition/function/....  No separate induction rule is provided.  The
  4917 "primrec" command distinguishes old-style and new-style specifications
  4918 by syntax.  The former primrec package is now named OldPrimrecPackage.
  4919 When adjusting theories, beware: constants stemming from new-style
  4920 primrec specifications have authentic syntax.
  4921 
  4922 * Metis prover is now an order of magnitude faster, and also works
  4923 with multithreading.
  4924 
  4925 * Metis: the maximum number of clauses that can be produced from a
  4926 theorem is now given by the attribute max_clauses.  Theorems that
  4927 exceed this number are ignored, with a warning printed.
  4928 
  4929 * Sledgehammer no longer produces structured proofs by default. To
  4930 enable, declare [[sledgehammer_full = true]].  Attributes
  4931 reconstruction_modulus, reconstruction_sorts renamed
  4932 sledgehammer_modulus, sledgehammer_sorts.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4933 
  4934 * Method "induct_scheme" derives user-specified induction rules
  4935 from well-founded induction and completeness of patterns. This factors
  4936 out some operations that are done internally by the function package
  4937 and makes them available separately.  See
  4938 src/HOL/ex/Induction_Scheme.thy for examples.
  4939 
  4940 * More flexible generation of measure functions for termination
  4941 proofs: Measure functions can be declared by proving a rule of the
  4942 form "is_measure f" and giving it the [measure_function] attribute.
  4943 The "is_measure" predicate is logically meaningless (always true), and
  4944 just guides the heuristic.  To find suitable measure functions, the
  4945 termination prover sets up the goal "is_measure ?f" of the appropriate
  4946 type and generates all solutions by prolog-style backwards proof using
  4947 the declared rules.
  4948 
  4949 This setup also deals with rules like 
  4950 
  4951   "is_measure f ==> is_measure (list_size f)"
  4952 
  4953 which accommodates nested datatypes that recurse through lists.
  4954 Similar rules are predeclared for products and option types.
  4955 
  4956 * Turned the type of sets "'a set" into an abbreviation for "'a => bool"
  4957 
  4958   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  4959 
  4960   - Definitions of overloaded constants on sets have to be replaced by
  4961     definitions on => and bool.
  4962 
  4963   - Some definitions of overloaded operators on sets can now be proved
  4964     using the definitions of the operators on => and bool.  Therefore,
  4965     the following theorems have been renamed:
  4966 
  4967       subset_def   -> subset_eq
  4968       psubset_def  -> psubset_eq
  4969       set_diff_def -> set_diff_eq
  4970       Compl_def    -> Compl_eq
  4971       Sup_set_def  -> Sup_set_eq
  4972       Inf_set_def  -> Inf_set_eq
  4973       sup_set_def  -> sup_set_eq
  4974       inf_set_def  -> inf_set_eq
  4975 
  4976   - Due to the incompleteness of the HO unification algorithm, some
  4977     rules such as subst may require manual instantiation, if some of
  4978     the unknowns in the rule is a set.
  4979 
  4980   - Higher order unification and forward proofs:

  5012 
  5013     must be rewritten. Moreover, functions like strip_type or
  5014     binder_types no longer return the right value when applied to a
  5015     type of the form
  5016 
  5017       T1 => ... => Tn => U => bool
  5018 
  5019     rather than
  5020 
  5021       T1 => ... => Tn => U set
  5022 
  5023 * Merged theories Wellfounded_Recursion, Accessible_Part and
  5024 Wellfounded_Relations to theory Wellfounded.
  5025 
  5026 * Explicit class "eq" for executable equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5027 
  5028 * Class finite no longer treats UNIV as class parameter.  Use class
  5029 enum from theory Library/Enum instead to achieve a similar effect.
  5030 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5031 
  5032 * Theory List: rule list_induct2 now has explicitly named cases "Nil"
  5033 and "Cons".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5034 
  5035 * HOL (and FOL): renamed variables in rules imp_elim and swap.
  5036 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5037 
  5038 * Theory Product_Type: duplicated lemmas split_Pair_apply and
  5039 injective_fst_snd removed, use split_eta and prod_eqI instead.
  5040 Renamed upd_fst to apfst and upd_snd to apsnd.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5041 
  5042 * Theory Nat: removed redundant lemmas that merely duplicate lemmas of
  5043 the same name in theory Orderings:
  5044 
  5045   less_trans
  5046   less_linear
  5047   le_imp_less_or_eq
  5048   le_less_trans
  5049   less_le_trans
  5050   less_not_sym
  5051   less_asym
  5052 
  5053 Renamed less_imp_le to less_imp_le_nat, and less_irrefl to
  5054 less_irrefl_nat.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to more general types
  5055 and different variable names.
  5056 
  5057 * Library/Option_ord.thy: Canonical order on option type.
  5058 
  5059 * Library/RBT.thy: Red-black trees, an efficient implementation of
  5060 finite maps.
  5061 
  5062 * Library/Countable.thy: Type class for countable types.
  5063 
  5064 * Theory Int: The representation of numerals has changed.  The infix
  5065 operator BIT and the bit datatype with constructors B0 and B1 have
  5066 disappeared.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "Int.Bit0 x" and "Int.Bit1 y" in
  5067 place of "x BIT bit.B0" and "y BIT bit.B1", respectively.  Theorems
  5068 involving BIT, B0, or B1 have been renamed with "Bit0" or "Bit1"
  5069 accordingly.
  5070 
  5071 * Theory Nat: definition of <= and < on natural numbers no longer
  5072 depend on well-founded relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Definitions
  5073 le_def and less_def have disappeared.  Consider lemmas not_less
  5074 [symmetric, where ?'a = nat] and less_eq [symmetric] instead.
  5075 
  5076 * Theory Finite_Set: locales ACf, ACe, ACIf, ACIfSL and ACIfSLlin
  5077 (whose purpose mainly is for various fold_set functionals) have been
  5078 abandoned in favor of the existing algebraic classes
  5079 ab_semigroup_mult, comm_monoid_mult, ab_semigroup_idem_mult,
  5080 lower_semilattice (resp. upper_semilattice) and linorder.
  5081 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5082 
  5083 * Theory Transitive_Closure: induct and cases rules now declare proper
  5084 case_names ("base" and "step").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5085 
  5086 * Theorem Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct generalized to complete
  5087 lattices.  The form set-specific version is available as
  5088 Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct_set.
  5089 
  5090 * Renamed theorems "power.simps" to "power_int.simps".
  5091 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5092 
  5093 * Class semiring_div provides basic abstract properties of semirings
  5094 with division and modulo operations.  Subsumes former class dvd_mod.
  5095 
  5096 * Merged theories IntDef, Numeral and IntArith into unified theory
  5097 Int.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5098 
  5099 * Theory Library/Code_Index: type "index" now represents natural
  5100 numbers rather than integers.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5101 
  5102 * New class "uminus" with operation "uminus" (split of from class
  5103 "minus" which now only has operation "minus", binary).
  5104 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5105 
  5106 * Constants "card", "internal_split", "option_map" now with authentic
  5107 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5108 
  5109 * Definitions subset_def, psubset_def, set_diff_def, Compl_def,
  5110 le_bool_def, less_bool_def, le_fun_def, less_fun_def, inf_bool_def,
  5111 sup_bool_def, Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, inf_fun_def, sup_fun_def,
  5112 Inf_fun_def, Sup_fun_def, inf_set_def, sup_set_def, Inf_set_def,
  5113 Sup_set_def, le_def, less_def, option_map_def now with object
  5114 equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5115 
  5116 * Records. Removed K_record, and replaced it by pure lambda term
  5117 %x. c. The simplifier setup is now more robust against eta expansion.
  5118 INCOMPATIBILITY: in cases explicitly referring to K_record.
  5119 
  5120 * Library/Multiset: {#a, b, c#} abbreviates {#a#} + {#b#} + {#c#}.
  5121 
  5122 * Library/ListVector: new theory of arithmetic vector operations.
  5123 
  5124 * Library/Order_Relation: new theory of various orderings as sets of
  5125 pairs.  Defines preorders, partial orders, linear orders and
  5126 well-orders on sets and on types.
  5127 
  5128 
  5129 *** ZF ***
  5130 
  5131 * Renamed some theories to allow to loading both ZF and HOL in the
  5132 same session:
  5133 
  5134   Datatype  -> Datatype_ZF
  5135   Inductive -> Inductive_ZF
  5136   Int       -> Int_ZF
  5137   IntDiv    -> IntDiv_ZF
  5138   Nat       -> Nat_ZF
  5139   List      -> List_ZF
  5140   Main      -> Main_ZF
  5141 
  5142 INCOMPATIBILITY: ZF theories that import individual theories below
  5143 Main might need to be adapted.  Regular theory Main is still
  5144 available, as trivial extension of Main_ZF.
  5145 
  5146 
  5147 *** ML ***
  5148 
  5149 * ML within Isar: antiquotation @{const name} or @{const
  5150 name(typargs)} produces statically-checked Const term.
  5151 
  5152 * Functor NamedThmsFun: data is available to the user as dynamic fact
  5153 (of the same name).  Removed obsolete print command.
  5154 
  5155 * Removed obsolete "use_legacy_bindings" function.
  5156 
  5157 * The ``print mode'' is now a thread-local value derived from a global
  5158 template (the former print_mode reference), thus access becomes
  5159 non-critical.  The global print_mode reference is for session
  5160 management only; user-code should use print_mode_value,
  5161 print_mode_active, PrintMode.setmp etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5162 
  5163 * Functions system/system_out provide a robust way to invoke external
  5164 shell commands, with propagation of interrupts (requires Poly/ML
  5165 5.2.1).  Do not use OS.Process.system etc. from the basis library!
  5166 
  5167 
  5168 *** System ***
  5169 
  5170 * Default settings: PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS no longer impose xemacs ---
  5171 in accordance with Proof General 3.7, which prefers GNU emacs.
  5172 
  5173 * isatool tty runs Isabelle process with plain tty interaction;
  5174 optional line editor may be specified via ISABELLE_LINE_EDITOR
  5175 setting, the default settings attempt to locate "ledit" and "rlwrap".
  5176 
  5177 * isatool browser now works with Cygwin as well, using general
  5178 "javapath" function defined in Isabelle process environment.
  5179 
  5180 * YXML notation provides a simple and efficient alternative to
  5181 standard XML transfer syntax.  See src/Pure/General/yxml.ML and
  5182 isatool yxml as described in the Isabelle system manual.
  5183 
  5184 * JVM class isabelle.IsabelleProcess (located in Isabelle/lib/classes)
  5185 provides general wrapper for managing an Isabelle process in a robust
  5186 fashion, with ``cooked'' output from stdin/stderr.
  5187 
  5188 * Rudimentary Isabelle plugin for jEdit (see Isabelle/lib/jedit),
  5189 based on Isabelle/JVM process wrapper (see Isabelle/lib/classes).
  5190 
  5191 * Removed obsolete THIS_IS_ISABELLE_BUILD feature.  NB: the documented
  5192 way of changing the user's settings is via
  5193 ISABELLE_HOME_USER/etc/settings, which is a fully featured bash
  5194 script.
  5195 
  5196 * Multithreading.max_threads := 0 refers to the number of actual CPU
  5197 cores of the underlying machine, which is a good starting point for
  5198 optimal performance tuning.  The corresponding usedir option -M allows
  5199 "max" as an alias for "0".  WARNING: does not work on certain versions
  5200 of Mac OS (with Poly/ML 5.1).
  5201 
  5202 * isabelle-process: non-ML sessions are run with "nice", to reduce the
  5203 adverse effect of Isabelle flooding interactive front-ends (notably
  5204 ProofGeneral / XEmacs).
  5205 
  5206 
  5207 
  5208 New in Isabelle2007 (November 2007)
  5209 -----------------------------------
  5210 
  5211 *** General ***
  5212 
  5213 * More uniform information about legacy features, notably a
  5214 warning/error of "Legacy feature: ...", depending on the state of the
  5215 tolerate_legacy_features flag (default true). FUTURE INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5216 legacy features will disappear eventually.
  5217 
  5218 * Theory syntax: the header format ``theory A = B + C:'' has been
  5219 discontinued in favour of ``theory A imports B C begin''.  Use isatool
  5220 fixheaders to convert existing theory files.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5221 
  5222 * Theory syntax: the old non-Isar theory file format has been
  5223 discontinued altogether.  Note that ML proof scripts may still be used
  5224 with Isar theories; migration is usually quite simple with the ML
  5225 function use_legacy_bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5226 
  5227 * Theory syntax: some popular names (e.g. 'class', 'declaration',
  5228 'fun', 'help', 'if') are now keywords.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use double
  5229 quotes.
  5230 
  5231 * Theory loader: be more serious about observing the static theory
  5232 header specifications (including optional directories), but not the
  5233 accidental file locations of previously successful loads.  The strict
  5234 update policy of former update_thy is now already performed by
  5235 use_thy, so the former has been removed; use_thys updates several
  5236 theories simultaneously, just as 'imports' within a theory header
  5237 specification, but without merging the results.  Potential
  5238 INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to refine theory headers and commands
  5239 ROOT.ML which depend on load order.
  5240 
  5241 * Theory loader: optional support for content-based file
  5242 identification, instead of the traditional scheme of full physical
  5243 path plus date stamp; configured by the ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT setting
  5244 (cf. the system manual).  The new scheme allows to work with
  5245 non-finished theories in persistent session images, such that source
  5246 files may be moved later on without requiring reloads.
  5247 
  5248 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  5249 file (with the same base name as the theory) are considered a legacy
  5250 feature, which will disappear eventually. Even now, the theory loader
  5251 no longer maintains dependencies on such files.
  5252 
  5253 * Syntax: the scope for resolving ambiguities via type-inference is
  5254 now limited to individual terms, instead of whole simultaneous
  5255 specifications as before. This greatly reduces the complexity of the
  5256 syntax module and improves flexibility by separating parsing and
  5257 type-checking. INCOMPATIBILITY: additional type-constraints (explicit
  5258 'fixes' etc.) are required in rare situations.
  5259 
  5260 * Syntax: constants introduced by new-style packages ('definition',
  5261 'abbreviation' etc.) are passed through the syntax module in
  5262 ``authentic mode''. This means that associated mixfix annotations
  5263 really stick to such constants, independently of potential name space
  5264 ambiguities introduced later on. INCOMPATIBILITY: constants in parse
  5265 trees are represented slightly differently, may need to adapt syntax
  5266 translations accordingly. Use CONST marker in 'translations' and
  5267 @{const_syntax} antiquotation in 'parse_translation' etc.
  5268 
  5269 * Legacy goal package: reduced interface to the bare minimum required
  5270 to keep existing proof scripts running.  Most other user-level
  5271 functions are now part of the OldGoals structure, which is *not* open
  5272 by default (consider isatool expandshort before open OldGoals).
  5273 Removed top_sg, prin, printyp, pprint_term/typ altogether, because
  5274 these tend to cause confusion about the actual goal (!) context being
  5275 used here, which is not necessarily the same as the_context().
  5276 
  5277 * Command 'find_theorems': supports "*" wild-card in "name:"
  5278 criterion; "with_dups" option.  Certain ProofGeneral versions might
  5279 support a specific search form (see ProofGeneral/CHANGES).
  5280 
  5281 * The ``prems limit'' option (cf. ProofContext.prems_limit) is now -1
  5282 by default, which means that "prems" (and also "fixed variables") are
  5283 suppressed from proof state output.  Note that the ProofGeneral
  5284 settings mechanism allows to change and save options persistently, but
  5285 older versions of Isabelle will fail to start up if a negative prems
  5286 limit is imposed.
  5287 
  5288 * Local theory targets may be specified by non-nested blocks of
  5289 ``context/locale/class ... begin'' followed by ``end''.  The body may
  5290 contain definitions, theorems etc., including any derived mechanism
  5291 that has been implemented on top of these primitives.  This concept
  5292 generalizes the existing ``theorem (in ...)'' towards more versatility
  5293 and scalability.
  5294 
  5295 * Proof General interface: proper undo of final 'end' command;
  5296 discontinued Isabelle/classic mode (ML proof scripts).
  5297 
  5298 
  5299 *** Document preparation ***
  5300 
  5301 * Added antiquotation @{theory name} which prints the given name,
  5302 after checking that it refers to a valid ancestor theory in the
  5303 current context.
  5304 
  5305 * Added antiquotations @{ML_type text} and @{ML_struct text} which
  5306 check the given source text as ML type/structure, printing verbatim.
  5307 
  5308 * Added antiquotation @{abbrev "c args"} which prints the abbreviation
  5309 "c args == rhs" given in the current context.  (Any number of
  5310 arguments may be given on the LHS.)
  5311 
  5312 
  5313 *** Pure ***
  5314 
  5315 * The 'class' package offers a combination of axclass and locale to
  5316 achieve Haskell-like type classes in Isabelle.  Definitions and
  5317 theorems within a class context produce both relative results (with
  5318 implicit parameters according to the locale context), and polymorphic
  5319 constants with qualified polymorphism (according to the class
  5320 context).  Within the body context of a 'class' target, a separate
  5321 syntax layer ("user space type system") takes care of converting
  5322 between global polymorphic consts and internal locale representation.
  5323 See src/HOL/ex/Classpackage.thy for examples (as well as main HOL).
  5324 "isatool doc classes" provides a tutorial.
  5325 
  5326 * Generic code generator framework allows to generate executable
  5327 code for ML and Haskell (including Isabelle classes).  A short usage
  5328 sketch:
  5329 
  5330     internal compilation:
  5331         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML
  5332     writing SML code to a file:
  5333         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML <filename>
  5334     writing OCaml code to a file:
  5335         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in OCaml <filename>
  5336     writing Haskell code to a bunch of files:
  5337         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in Haskell <filename>
  5338 
  5339     evaluating closed propositions to True/False using code generation:
  5340         method ``eval''
  5341 
  5342 Reasonable default setup of framework in HOL.
  5343 
  5344 Theorem attributs for selecting and transforming function equations theorems:
  5345 
  5346     [code fun]:        select a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  5347     [code fun del]:    deselect a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  5348     [code inline]:     select an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  5349     [code inline del]: deselect an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  5350 
  5351 User-defined serializations (target in {SML, OCaml, Haskell}):
  5352 
  5353     code_const <and-list of constants (term syntax)>
  5354       {(target) <and-list of const target syntax>}+
  5355 
  5356     code_type <and-list of type constructors>
  5357       {(target) <and-list of type target syntax>}+
  5358 
  5359     code_instance <and-list of instances>
  5360       {(target)}+
  5361         where instance ::= <type constructor> :: <class>
  5362 
  5363     code_class <and_list of classes>
  5364       {(target) <and-list of class target syntax>}+
  5365         where class target syntax ::= <class name> {where {<classop> == <target syntax>}+}?
  5366 
  5367 code_instance and code_class only are effective to target Haskell.
  5368 
  5369 For example usage see src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator.thy and
  5370 src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator_Pretty.thy.  A separate tutorial on code
  5371 generation from Isabelle/HOL theories is available via "isatool doc
  5372 codegen".
  5373 
  5374 * Code generator: consts in 'consts_code' Isar commands are now
  5375 referred to by usual term syntax (including optional type
  5376 annotations).
  5377 
  5378 * Command 'no_translations' removes translation rules from theory
  5379 syntax.
  5380 
  5381 * Overloaded definitions are now actually checked for acyclic
  5382 dependencies.  The overloading scheme is slightly more general than
  5383 that of Haskell98, although Isabelle does not demand an exact
  5384 correspondence to type class and instance declarations.
  5385 INCOMPATIBILITY, use ``defs (unchecked overloaded)'' to admit more
  5386 exotic versions of overloading -- at the discretion of the user!
  5387 
  5388 Polymorphic constants are represented via type arguments, i.e. the
  5389 instantiation that matches an instance against the most general
  5390 declaration given in the signature.  For example, with the declaration
  5391 c :: 'a => 'a => 'a, an instance c :: nat => nat => nat is represented
  5392 as c(nat).  Overloading is essentially simultaneous structural
  5393 recursion over such type arguments.  Incomplete specification patterns
  5394 impose global constraints on all occurrences, e.g. c('a * 'a) on the
  5395 LHS means that more general c('a * 'b) will be disallowed on any RHS.
  5396 Command 'print_theory' outputs the normalized system of recursive
  5397 equations, see section "definitions".
  5398 
  5399 * Configuration options are maintained within the theory or proof
  5400 context (with name and type bool/int/string), providing a very simple
  5401 interface to a poor-man's version of general context data.  Tools may
  5402 declare options in ML (e.g. using Attrib.config_int) and then refer to
  5403 these values using Config.get etc.  Users may change options via an
  5404 associated attribute of the same name.  This form of context
  5405 declaration works particularly well with commands 'declare' or
  5406 'using', for example ``declare [[foo = 42]]''.  Thus it has become
  5407 very easy to avoid global references, which would not observe Isar
  5408 toplevel undo/redo and fail to work with multithreading.
  5409 
  5410 Various global ML references of Pure and HOL have been turned into
  5411 configuration options:
  5412 
  5413   Unify.search_bound		unify_search_bound
  5414   Unify.trace_bound		unify_trace_bound
  5415   Unify.trace_simp		unify_trace_simp
  5416   Unify.trace_types		unify_trace_types
  5417   Simplifier.simp_depth_limit	simp_depth_limit
  5418   Blast.depth_limit		blast_depth_limit
  5419   DatatypeProp.dtK		datatype_distinctness_limit
  5420   fast_arith_neq_limit  	fast_arith_neq_limit
  5421   fast_arith_split_limit	fast_arith_split_limit
  5422 
  5423 * Named collections of theorems may be easily installed as context
  5424 data using the functor NamedThmsFun (see also
  5425 src/Pure/Tools/named_thms.ML).  The user may add or delete facts via
  5426 attributes; there is also a toplevel print command.  This facility is
  5427 just a common case of general context data, which is the preferred way
  5428 for anything more complex than just a list of facts in canonical
  5429 order.
  5430 
  5431 * Isar: command 'declaration' augments a local theory by generic
  5432 declaration functions written in ML.  This enables arbitrary content
  5433 being added to the context, depending on a morphism that tells the
  5434 difference of the original declaration context wrt. the application
  5435 context encountered later on.
  5436 
  5437 * Isar: proper interfaces for simplification procedures.  Command
  5438 'simproc_setup' declares named simprocs (with match patterns, and body
  5439 text in ML).  Attribute "simproc" adds/deletes simprocs in the current
  5440 context.  ML antiquotation @{simproc name} retrieves named simprocs.
  5441 
  5442 * Isar: an extra pair of brackets around attribute declarations
  5443 abbreviates a theorem reference involving an internal dummy fact,
  5444 which will be ignored later --- only the effect of the attribute on
  5445 the background context will persist.  This form of in-place
  5446 declarations is particularly useful with commands like 'declare' and
  5447 'using', for example ``have A using [[simproc a]] by simp''.
  5448 
  5449 * Isar: method "assumption" (and implicit closing of subproofs) now
  5450 takes simple non-atomic goal assumptions into account: after applying
  5451 an assumption as a rule the resulting subgoals are solved by atomic
  5452 assumption steps.  This is particularly useful to finish 'obtain'
  5453 goals, such as "!!x. (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> P x ==> thesis",
  5454 without referring to the original premise "!!x. P x ==> thesis" in the
  5455 Isar proof context.  POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY: method "assumption" is
  5456 more permissive.
  5457 
  5458 * Isar: implicit use of prems from the Isar proof context is
  5459 considered a legacy feature.  Common applications like ``have A .''
  5460 may be replaced by ``have A by fact'' or ``note `A`''.  In general,
  5461 referencing facts explicitly here improves readability and
  5462 maintainability of proof texts.
  5463 
  5464 * Isar: improper proof element 'guess' is like 'obtain', but derives
  5465 the obtained context from the course of reasoning!  For example:
  5466 
  5467   assume "EX x y. A x & B y"   -- "any previous fact"
  5468   then guess x and y by clarify
  5469 
  5470 This technique is potentially adventurous, depending on the facts and
  5471 proof tools being involved here.
  5472 
  5473 * Isar: known facts from the proof context may be specified as literal
  5474 propositions, using ASCII back-quote syntax.  This works wherever
  5475 named facts used to be allowed so far, in proof commands, proof
  5476 methods, attributes etc.  Literal facts are retrieved from the context
  5477 according to unification of type and term parameters.  For example,
  5478 provided that "A" and "A ==> B" and "!!x. P x ==> Q x" are known
  5479 theorems in the current context, then these are valid literal facts:
  5480 `A` and `A ==> B` and `!!x. P x ==> Q x" as well as `P a ==> Q a` etc.
  5481 
  5482 There is also a proof method "fact" which does the same composition
  5483 for explicit goal states, e.g. the following proof texts coincide with
  5484 certain special cases of literal facts:
  5485 
  5486   have "A" by fact                 ==  note `A`
  5487   have "A ==> B" by fact           ==  note `A ==> B`
  5488   have "!!x. P x ==> Q x" by fact  ==  note `!!x. P x ==> Q x`
  5489   have "P a ==> Q a" by fact       ==  note `P a ==> Q a`
  5490 
  5491 * Isar: ":" (colon) is no longer a symbolic identifier character in
  5492 outer syntax.  Thus symbolic identifiers may be used without
  5493 additional white space in declarations like this: ``assume *: A''.
  5494 
  5495 * Isar: 'print_facts' prints all local facts of the current context,
  5496 both named and unnamed ones.
  5497 
  5498 * Isar: 'def' now admits simultaneous definitions, e.g.:
  5499 
  5500   def x == "t" and y == "u"
  5501 
  5502 * Isar: added command 'unfolding', which is structurally similar to
  5503 'using', but affects both the goal state and facts by unfolding given
  5504 rewrite rules.  Thus many occurrences of the 'unfold' method or
  5505 'unfolded' attribute may be replaced by first-class proof text.
  5506 
  5507 * Isar: methods 'unfold' / 'fold', attributes 'unfolded' / 'folded',
  5508 and command 'unfolding' now all support object-level equalities
  5509 (potentially conditional).  The underlying notion of rewrite rule is
  5510 analogous to the 'rule_format' attribute, but *not* that of the
  5511 Simplifier (which is usually more generous).
  5512 
  5513 * Isar: the new attribute [rotated n] (default n = 1) rotates the
  5514 premises of a theorem by n. Useful in conjunction with drule.
  5515 
  5516 * Isar: the goal restriction operator [N] (default N = 1) evaluates a
  5517 method expression within a sandbox consisting of the first N
  5518 sub-goals, which need to exist.  For example, ``simp_all [3]''
  5519 simplifies the first three sub-goals, while (rule foo, simp_all)[]
  5520 simplifies all new goals that emerge from applying rule foo to the
  5521 originally first one.
  5522 
  5523 * Isar: schematic goals are no longer restricted to higher-order
  5524 patterns; e.g. ``lemma "?P(?x)" by (rule TrueI)'' now works as
  5525 expected.
  5526 
  5527 * Isar: the conclusion of a long theorem statement is now either
  5528 'shows' (a simultaneous conjunction, as before), or 'obtains'
  5529 (essentially a disjunction of cases with local parameters and
  5530 assumptions).  The latter allows to express general elimination rules
  5531 adequately; in this notation common elimination rules look like this:
  5532 
  5533   lemma exE:    -- "EX x. P x ==> (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5534     assumes "EX x. P x"
  5535     obtains x where "P x"
  5536 
  5537   lemma conjE:  -- "A & B ==> (A ==> B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5538     assumes "A & B"
  5539     obtains A and B
  5540 
  5541   lemma disjE:  -- "A | B ==> (A ==> thesis) ==> (B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5542     assumes "A | B"
  5543     obtains
  5544       A
  5545     | B
  5546 
  5547 The subsequent classical rules even refer to the formal "thesis"
  5548 explicitly:
  5549 
  5550   lemma classical:     -- "(~ thesis ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5551     obtains "~ thesis"
  5552 
  5553   lemma Peirce's_Law:  -- "((thesis ==> something) ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5554     obtains "thesis ==> something"
  5555 
  5556 The actual proof of an 'obtains' statement is analogous to that of the
  5557 Isar proof element 'obtain', only that there may be several cases.
  5558 Optional case names may be specified in parentheses; these will be
  5559 available both in the present proof and as annotations in the
  5560 resulting rule, for later use with the 'cases' method (cf. attribute
  5561 case_names).
  5562 
  5563 * Isar: the assumptions of a long theorem statement are available as
  5564 "assms" fact in the proof context.  This is more appropriate than the
  5565 (historical) "prems", which refers to all assumptions of the current
  5566 context, including those from the target locale, proof body etc.
  5567 
  5568 * Isar: 'print_statement' prints theorems from the current theory or
  5569 proof context in long statement form, according to the syntax of a
  5570 top-level lemma.
  5571 
  5572 * Isar: 'obtain' takes an optional case name for the local context
  5573 introduction rule (default "that").
  5574 
  5575 * Isar: removed obsolete 'concl is' patterns.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5576 explicit (is "_ ==> ?foo") in the rare cases where this still happens
  5577 to occur.
  5578 
  5579 * Pure: syntax "CONST name" produces a fully internalized constant
  5580 according to the current context.  This is particularly useful for
  5581 syntax translations that should refer to internal constant
  5582 representations independently of name spaces.
  5583 
  5584 * Pure: syntax constant for foo (binder "FOO ") is called "foo_binder"
  5585 instead of "FOO ". This allows multiple binder declarations to coexist
  5586 in the same context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5587 
  5588 * Isar/locales: 'notation' provides a robust interface to the 'syntax'
  5589 primitive that also works in a locale context (both for constants and
  5590 fixed variables). Type declaration and internal syntactic representation
  5591 of given constants retrieved from the context. Likewise, the
  5592 'no_notation' command allows to remove given syntax annotations from the
  5593 current context.
  5594 
  5595 * Isar/locales: new derived specification elements 'axiomatization',
  5596 'definition', 'abbreviation', which support type-inference, admit
  5597 object-level specifications (equality, equivalence).  See also the
  5598 isar-ref manual.  Examples:
  5599 
  5600   axiomatization
  5601     eq  (infix "===" 50) where
  5602     eq_refl: "x === x" and eq_subst: "x === y ==> P x ==> P y"
  5603 
  5604   definition "f x y = x + y + 1"
  5605   definition g where "g x = f x x"
  5606 
  5607   abbreviation
  5608     neq  (infix "=!=" 50) where
  5609     "x =!= y == ~ (x === y)"
  5610 
  5611 These specifications may be also used in a locale context.  Then the
  5612 constants being introduced depend on certain fixed parameters, and the
  5613 constant name is qualified by the locale base name.  An internal
  5614 abbreviation takes care for convenient input and output, making the
  5615 parameters implicit and using the original short name.  See also
  5616 src/HOL/ex/Abstract_NAT.thy for an example of deriving polymorphic
  5617 entities from a monomorphic theory.
  5618 
  5619 Presently, abbreviations are only available 'in' a target locale, but
  5620 not inherited by general import expressions.  Also note that
  5621 'abbreviation' may be used as a type-safe replacement for 'syntax' +
  5622 'translations' in common applications.  The "no_abbrevs" print mode
  5623 prevents folding of abbreviations in term output.
  5624 
  5625 Concrete syntax is attached to specified constants in internal form,
  5626 independently of name spaces.  The parse tree representation is
  5627 slightly different -- use 'notation' instead of raw 'syntax', and
  5628 'translations' with explicit "CONST" markup to accommodate this.
  5629 
  5630 * Pure/Isar: unified syntax for new-style specification mechanisms
  5631 (e.g.  'definition', 'abbreviation', or 'inductive' in HOL) admits
  5632 full type inference and dummy patterns ("_").  For example:
  5633 
  5634   definition "K x _ = x"
  5635 
  5636   inductive conj for A B
  5637   where "A ==> B ==> conj A B"
  5638 
  5639 * Pure: command 'print_abbrevs' prints all constant abbreviations of
  5640 the current context.  Print mode "no_abbrevs" prevents inversion of
  5641 abbreviations on output.
  5642 
  5643 * Isar/locales: improved parameter handling: use of locales "var" and
  5644 "struct" no longer necessary; - parameter renamings are no longer
  5645 required to be injective.  For example, this allows to define
  5646 endomorphisms as locale endom = homom mult mult h.
  5647 
  5648 * Isar/locales: changed the way locales with predicates are defined.
  5649 Instead of accumulating the specification, the imported expression is
  5650 now an interpretation.  INCOMPATIBILITY: different normal form of
  5651 locale expressions.  In particular, in interpretations of locales with
  5652 predicates, goals repesenting already interpreted fragments are not
  5653 removed automatically.  Use methods `intro_locales' and
  5654 `unfold_locales'; see below.
  5655 
  5656 * Isar/locales: new methods `intro_locales' and `unfold_locales'
  5657 provide backward reasoning on locales predicates.  The methods are
  5658 aware of interpretations and discharge corresponding goals.
  5659 `intro_locales' is less aggressive then `unfold_locales' and does not
  5660 unfold predicates to assumptions.
  5661 
  5662 * Isar/locales: the order in which locale fragments are accumulated
  5663 has changed.  This enables to override declarations from fragments due
  5664 to interpretations -- for example, unwanted simp rules.
  5665 
  5666 * Isar/locales: interpretation in theories and proof contexts has been
  5667 extended.  One may now specify (and prove) equations, which are
  5668 unfolded in interpreted theorems.  This is useful for replacing
  5669 defined concepts (constants depending on locale parameters) by
  5670 concepts already existing in the target context.  Example:
  5671 
  5672   interpretation partial_order ["op <= :: [int, int] => bool"]
  5673     where "partial_order.less (op <=) (x::int) y = (x < y)"
  5674 
  5675 Typically, the constant `partial_order.less' is created by a
  5676 definition specification element in the context of locale
  5677 partial_order.
  5678 
  5679 * Method "induct": improved internal context management to support
  5680 local fixes and defines on-the-fly. Thus explicit meta-level
  5681 connectives !!  and ==> are rarely required anymore in inductive goals
  5682 (using object-logic connectives for this purpose has been long
  5683 obsolete anyway). Common proof patterns are explained in
  5684 src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, see also
  5685 src/HOL/Isar_examples/Puzzle.thy and src/HOL/Lambda for realistic
  5686 examples.
  5687 
  5688 * Method "induct": improved handling of simultaneous goals. Instead of
  5689 introducing object-level conjunction, the statement is now split into
  5690 several conclusions, while the corresponding symbolic cases are nested
  5691 accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY, proofs need to be structured explicitly,
  5692 see src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, for example.
  5693 
  5694 * Method "induct": mutual induction rules are now specified as a list
  5695 of rule sharing the same induction cases. HOL packages usually provide
  5696 foo_bar.inducts for mutually defined items foo and bar (e.g. inductive
  5697 predicates/sets or datatypes). INCOMPATIBILITY, users need to specify
  5698 mutual induction rules differently, i.e. like this:
  5699 
  5700   (induct rule: foo_bar.inducts)
  5701   (induct set: foo bar)
  5702   (induct pred: foo bar)
  5703   (induct type: foo bar)
  5704 
  5705 The ML function ProjectRule.projections turns old-style rules into the
  5706 new format.
  5707 
  5708 * Method "coinduct": dual of induction, see
  5709 src/HOL/Library/Coinductive_List.thy for various examples.
  5710 
  5711 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": the ``(open)'' option is
  5712 considered a legacy feature.
  5713 
  5714 * Attribute "symmetric" produces result with standardized schematic
  5715 variables (index 0).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5716 
  5717 * Simplifier: by default the simplifier trace only shows top level
  5718 rewrites now. That is, trace_simp_depth_limit is set to 1 by
  5719 default. Thus there is less danger of being flooded by the trace. The
  5720 trace indicates where parts have been suppressed.
  5721   
  5722 * Provers/classical: removed obsolete classical version of elim_format
  5723 attribute; classical elim/dest rules are now treated uniformly when
  5724 manipulating the claset.
  5725 
  5726 * Provers/classical: stricter checks to ensure that supplied intro,
  5727 dest and elim rules are well-formed; dest and elim rules must have at
  5728 least one premise.
  5729 
  5730 * Provers/classical: attributes dest/elim/intro take an optional
  5731 weight argument for the rule (just as the Pure versions).  Weights are
  5732 ignored by automated tools, but determine the search order of single
  5733 rule steps.
  5734 
  5735 * Syntax: input syntax now supports dummy variable binding "%_. b",
  5736 where the body does not mention the bound variable.  Note that dummy
  5737 patterns implicitly depend on their context of bounds, which makes
  5738 "{_. _}" match any set comprehension as expected.  Potential
  5739 INCOMPATIBILITY -- parse translations need to cope with syntactic
  5740 constant "_idtdummy" in the binding position.
  5741 
  5742 * Syntax: removed obsolete syntactic constant "_K" and its associated
  5743 parse translation.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- use dummy abstraction instead,
  5744 for example "A -> B" => "Pi A (%_. B)".
  5745 
  5746 * Pure: 'class_deps' command visualizes the subclass relation, using
  5747 the graph browser tool.
  5748 
  5749 * Pure: 'print_theory' now suppresses certain internal declarations by
  5750 default; use '!' option for full details.
  5751 
  5752 
  5753 *** HOL ***
  5754 
  5755 * Method "metis" proves goals by applying the Metis general-purpose
  5756 resolution prover (see also http://gilith.com/software/metis/).
  5757 Examples are in the directory MetisExamples.  WARNING: the
  5758 Isabelle/HOL-Metis integration does not yet work properly with
  5759 multi-threading.
  5760   
  5761 * Command 'sledgehammer' invokes external automatic theorem provers as
  5762 background processes.  It generates calls to the "metis" method if
  5763 successful. These can be pasted into the proof.  Users do not have to
  5764 wait for the automatic provers to return.  WARNING: does not really
  5765 work with multi-threading.
  5766 
  5767 * New "auto_quickcheck" feature tests outermost goal statements for
  5768 potential counter-examples.  Controlled by ML references
  5769 auto_quickcheck (default true) and auto_quickcheck_time_limit (default
  5770 5000 milliseconds).  Fails silently if statements is outside of
  5771 executable fragment, or any other codgenerator problem occurs.
  5772 
  5773 * New constant "undefined" with axiom "undefined x = undefined".
  5774 
  5775 * Added class "HOL.eq", allowing for code generation with polymorphic
  5776 equality.
  5777 
  5778 * Some renaming of class constants due to canonical name prefixing in
  5779 the new 'class' package:
  5780 
  5781     HOL.abs ~> HOL.abs_class.abs
  5782     HOL.divide ~> HOL.divide_class.divide
  5783     0 ~> HOL.zero_class.zero

  5800     Divides.op dvd ~> Divides.div_class.dvd
  5801 
  5802 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Adaptions may be required in the following cases:
  5803 
  5804 a) User-defined constants using any of the names "plus", "minus",
  5805 "times", "less" or "less_eq". The standard syntax translations for
  5806 "+", "-" and "*" may go wrong.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific
  5807 names.
  5808 
  5809 b) Variables named "plus", "minus", "times", "less", "less_eq"
  5810 INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific names.
  5811 
  5812 c) Permutative equations (e.g. "a + b = b + a")
  5813 Since the change of names also changes the order of terms, permutative
  5814 rewrite rules may get applied in a different order. Experience shows
  5815 that this is rarely the case (only two adaptions in the whole Isabelle
  5816 distribution).  INCOMPATIBILITY: rewrite proofs
  5817 
  5818 d) ML code directly refering to constant names
  5819 This in general only affects hand-written proof tactics, simprocs and
  5820 so on.  INCOMPATIBILITY: grep your sourcecode and replace names.
  5821 Consider using @{const_name} antiquotation.
  5822 
  5823 * New class "default" with associated constant "default".
  5824 
  5825 * Function "sgn" is now overloaded and available on int, real, complex
  5826 (and other numeric types), using class "sgn".  Two possible defs of
  5827 sgn are given as equational assumptions in the classes sgn_if and
  5828 sgn_div_norm; ordered_idom now also inherits from sgn_if.
  5829 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5830 
  5831 * Locale "partial_order" now unified with class "order" (cf. theory
  5832 Orderings), added parameter "less".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5833 
  5834 * Renamings in classes "order" and "linorder": facts "refl", "trans" and
  5835 "cases" to "order_refl", "order_trans" and "linorder_cases", to avoid
  5836 clashes with HOL "refl" and "trans".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5837 
  5838 * Classes "order" and "linorder": potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to
  5839 changed order of proof goals in instance proofs.
  5840 
  5841 * The transitivity reasoner for partial and linear orders is set up
  5842 for classes "order" and "linorder".  Instances of the reasoner are available
  5843 in all contexts importing or interpreting the corresponding locales.
  5844 Method "order" invokes the reasoner separately; the reasoner
  5845 is also integrated with the Simplifier as a solver.  Diagnostic
  5846 command 'print_orders' shows the available instances of the reasoner
  5847 in the current context.
  5848 
  5849 * Localized monotonicity predicate in theory "Orderings"; integrated
  5850 lemmas max_of_mono and min_of_mono with this predicate.
  5851 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5852 
  5853 * Formulation of theorem "dense" changed slightly due to integration
  5854 with new class dense_linear_order.
  5855 
  5856 * Uniform lattice theory development in HOL.
  5857 
  5858     constants "meet" and "join" now named "inf" and "sup"
  5859     constant "Meet" now named "Inf"
  5860 
  5861     classes "meet_semilorder" and "join_semilorder" now named

  5863     class "lorder" now named "lattice"
  5864     class "comp_lat" now named "complete_lattice"
  5865 
  5866     Instantiation of lattice classes allows explicit definitions
  5867     for "inf" and "sup" operations (or "Inf" and "Sup" for complete lattices).

  5971 
  5972 * Added syntactic class "size"; overloaded constant "size" now has
  5973 type "'a::size ==> bool"
  5974 
  5975 * Internal reorganisation of `size' of datatypes: size theorems
  5976 "foo.size" are no longer subsumed by "foo.simps" (but are still
  5977 simplification rules by default!); theorems "prod.size" now named
  5978 "*.size".
  5979 
  5980 * Class "div" now inherits from class "times" rather than "type".
  5981 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5982 
  5983 * HOL/Finite_Set: "name-space" locales Lattice, Distrib_lattice,
  5984 Linorder etc.  have disappeared; operations defined in terms of
  5985 fold_set now are named Inf_fin, Sup_fin.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5986 
  5987 * HOL/Nat: neq0_conv no longer declared as iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5988 
  5989 * HOL-Word: New extensive library and type for generic, fixed size
  5990 machine words, with arithmetic, bit-wise, shifting and rotating
  5991 operations, reflection into int, nat, and bool lists, automation for
  5992 linear arithmetic (by automatic reflection into nat or int), including
  5993 lemmas on overflow and monotonicity.  Instantiated to all appropriate
  5994 arithmetic type classes, supporting automatic simplification of
  5995 numerals on all operations.
  5996 
  5997 * Library/Boolean_Algebra: locales for abstract boolean algebras.
  5998 
  5999 * Library/Numeral_Type: numbers as types, e.g. TYPE(32).
  6000 
  6001 * Code generator library theories:
  6002   - Code_Integer represents HOL integers by big integer literals in target
  6003     languages.
  6004   - Code_Char represents HOL characters by character literals in target
  6005     languages.
  6006   - Code_Char_chr like Code_Char, but also offers treatment of character
  6007     codes; includes Code_Integer.
  6008   - Executable_Set allows to generate code for finite sets using lists.
  6009   - Executable_Rat implements rational numbers as triples (sign, enumerator,
  6010     denominator).
  6011   - Executable_Real implements a subset of real numbers, namly those
  6012     representable by rational numbers.
  6013   - Efficient_Nat implements natural numbers by integers, which in general will
  6014     result in higher efficency; pattern matching with 0/Suc is eliminated;
  6015     includes Code_Integer.
  6016   - Code_Index provides an additional datatype index which is mapped to
  6017     target-language built-in integers.
  6018   - Code_Message provides an additional datatype message_string which is isomorphic to
  6019     strings; messages are mapped to target-language strings.
  6020 
  6021 * New package for inductive predicates
  6022 
  6023   An n-ary predicate p with m parameters z_1, ..., z_m can now be defined via
  6024 
  6025     inductive
  6026       p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6027       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6028     where
  6029       rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  6030     | ...
  6031 
  6032   with full support for type-inference, rather than
  6033 
  6034     consts s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6035 
  6036     abbreviation p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6037     where "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6038 
  6039     inductive "s z_1 ... z_m"
  6040     intros
  6041       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6042       ...
  6043 
  6044   For backward compatibility, there is a wrapper allowing inductive
  6045   sets to be defined with the new package via
  6046 
  6047     inductive_set
  6048       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6049       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6050     where
  6051       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6052     | ...
  6053 
  6054   or
  6055 
  6056     inductive_set
  6057       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6058       and p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6059       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6060     where
  6061       "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6062     | rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  6063     | ...
  6064 
  6065   if the additional syntax "p ..." is required.
  6066 
  6067   Numerous examples can be found in the subdirectories src/HOL/Auth,
  6068   src/HOL/Bali, src/HOL/Induct, and src/HOL/MicroJava.
  6069 
  6070   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  6071 
  6072   - Since declaration and definition of inductive sets or predicates
  6073     is no longer separated, abbreviations involving the newly
  6074     introduced sets or predicates must be specified together with the
  6075     introduction rules after the 'where' keyword (see above), rather
  6076     than before the actual inductive definition.
  6077 
  6078   - The variables in induction and elimination rules are now
  6079     quantified in the order of their occurrence in the introduction
  6080     rules, rather than in alphabetical order. Since this may break
  6081     some proofs, these proofs either have to be repaired, e.g. by
  6082     reordering the variables a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i} in Isar 'case'
  6083     statements of the form
  6084 
  6085       case (rule_i a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i})
  6086 
  6087     or the old order of quantification has to be restored by explicitly adding
  6088     meta-level quantifiers in the introduction rules, i.e.
  6089 
  6090       | rule_i: "!!a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i}. ... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_i_1 ... t_i_n"
  6091 
  6092   - The format of the elimination rules is now
  6093 
  6094       p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n ==>
  6095         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  6096         ==> ... ==> P
  6097 
  6098     for predicates and
  6099 
  6100       (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  6101         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  6102         ==> ... ==> P
  6103 
  6104     for sets rather than
  6105 
  6106       x : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  6107         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x = (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) ==> ... ==> P)
  6108         ==> ... ==> P
  6109 
  6110     This may require terms in goals to be expanded to n-tuples
  6111     (e.g. using case_tac or simplification with the split_paired_all
  6112     rule) before the above elimination rule is applicable.
  6113 
  6114   - The elimination or case analysis rules for (mutually) inductive
  6115     sets or predicates are now called "p_1.cases" ... "p_k.cases". The
  6116     list of rules "p_1_..._p_k.elims" is no longer available.
  6117 
  6118 * New package "function"/"fun" for general recursive functions,
  6119 supporting mutual and nested recursion, definitions in local contexts,
  6120 more general pattern matching and partiality. See HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy
  6121 for small examples, and the separate tutorial on the function
  6122 package. The old recdef "package" is still available as before, but
  6123 users are encouraged to use the new package.
  6124 
  6125 * Method "lexicographic_order" automatically synthesizes termination
  6126 relations as lexicographic combinations of size measures. 
  6127 
  6128 * Case-expressions allow arbitrary constructor-patterns (including
  6129 "_") and take their order into account, like in functional
  6130 programming.  Internally, this is translated into nested
  6131 case-expressions; missing cases are added and mapped to the predefined
  6132 constant "undefined". In complicated cases printing may no longer show
  6133 the original input but the internal form. Lambda-abstractions allow
  6134 the same form of pattern matching: "% pat1 => e1 | ..." is an
  6135 abbreviation for "%x. case x of pat1 => e1 | ..." where x is a new
  6136 variable.
  6137 
  6138 * IntDef: The constant "int :: nat => int" has been removed; now "int"
  6139 is an abbreviation for "of_nat :: nat => int". The simplification
  6140 rules for "of_nat" have been changed to work like "int" did
  6141 previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6142   - "of_nat (Suc m)" simplifies to "1 + of_nat m" instead of "of_nat m + 1"
  6143   - of_nat_diff and of_nat_mult are no longer default simp rules
  6144 
  6145 * Method "algebra" solves polynomial equations over (semi)rings using
  6146 Groebner bases. The (semi)ring structure is defined by locales and the
  6147 tool setup depends on that generic context. Installing the method for
  6148 a specific type involves instantiating the locale and possibly adding
  6149 declarations for computation on the coefficients.  The method is
  6150 already instantiated for natural numbers and for the axiomatic class
  6151 of idoms with numerals.  See also the paper by Chaieb and Wenzel at
  6152 CALCULEMUS 2007 for the general principles underlying this
  6153 architecture of context-aware proof-tools.
  6154 
  6155 * Method "ferrack" implements quantifier elimination over
  6156 special-purpose dense linear orders using locales (analogous to
  6157 "algebra"). The method is already installed for class
  6158 {ordered_field,recpower,number_ring} which subsumes real, hyperreal,
  6159 rat, etc.
  6160 
  6161 * Former constant "List.op @" now named "List.append".  Use ML
  6162 antiquotations @{const_name List.append} or @{term " ... @ ... "} to
  6163 circumvent possible incompatibilities when working on ML level.
  6164 
  6165 * primrec: missing cases mapped to "undefined" instead of "arbitrary".
  6166 
  6167 * New function listsum :: 'a list => 'a for arbitrary monoids.
  6168 Special syntax: "SUM x <- xs. f x" (and latex variants)
  6169 
  6170 * New syntax for Haskell-like list comprehension (input only), eg.
  6171 [(x,y). x <- xs, y <- ys, x ~= y], see also src/HOL/List.thy.
  6172 
  6173 * The special syntax for function "filter" has changed from [x :
  6174 xs. P] to [x <- xs. P] to avoid an ambiguity caused by list
  6175 comprehension syntax, and for uniformity.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6176 
  6177 * [a..b] is now defined for arbitrary linear orders.  It used to be
  6178 defined on nat only, as an abbreviation for [a..<Suc b]
  6179 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6180 
  6181 * Renamed lemma "set_take_whileD"  to "set_takeWhileD".
  6182 
  6183 * New functions "sorted" and "sort" in src/HOL/List.thy.
  6184 
  6185 * New lemma collection field_simps (an extension of ring_simps) for
  6186 manipulating (in)equations involving division. Multiplies with all
  6187 denominators that can be proved to be non-zero (in equations) or
  6188 positive/negative (in inequations).
  6189 
  6190 * Lemma collections ring_eq_simps, group_eq_simps and ring_distrib
  6191 have been improved and renamed to ring_simps, group_simps and
  6192 ring_distribs.  Removed lemmas field_xyz in theory Ring_and_Field
  6193 because they were subsumed by lemmas xyz.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6194 
  6195 * Theory Library/Commutative_Ring: switched from recdef to function
  6196 package; constants add, mul, pow now curried.  Infix syntax for
  6197 algebraic operations.
  6198 
  6199 * Dropped redundant lemma def_imp_eq in favor of meta_eq_to_obj_eq.
  6200 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6201 
  6202 * Dropped redundant lemma if_def2 in favor of if_bool_eq_conj.
  6203 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6204 
  6205 * HOL/records: generalised field-update to take a function on the
  6206 field rather than the new value: r(|A := x|) is translated to A_update
  6207 (K x) r The K-combinator that is internally used is called K_record.
  6208 INCOMPATIBILITY: Usage of the plain update functions has to be
  6209 adapted.
  6210  
  6211 * Class "semiring_0" now contains annihilation axioms x * 0 = 0 and 0
  6212 * x = 0, which are required for a semiring.  Richer structures do not
  6213 inherit from semiring_0 anymore, because this property is a theorem
  6214 there, not an axiom.  INCOMPATIBILITY: In instances of semiring_0,
  6215 there is more to prove, but this is mostly trivial.
  6216 
  6217 * Class "recpower" is generalized to arbitrary monoids, not just
  6218 commutative semirings.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to incorporate
  6219 commutativity or semiring properties additionally.
  6220 
  6221 * Constant "List.list_all2" in List.thy now uses authentic syntax.
  6222 INCOMPATIBILITY: translations containing list_all2 may go wrong,
  6223 better use 'abbreviation'.
  6224 
  6225 * Renamed constant "List.op mem" to "List.member".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6226 
  6227 * Numeral syntax: type 'bin' which was a mere type copy of 'int' has
  6228 been abandoned in favour of plain 'int'.  INCOMPATIBILITY --
  6229 significant changes for setting up numeral syntax for types:
  6230   - New constants Numeral.pred and Numeral.succ instead
  6231       of former Numeral.bin_pred and Numeral.bin_succ.
  6232   - Use integer operations instead of bin_add, bin_mult and so on.
  6233   - Numeral simplification theorems named Numeral.numeral_simps instead of Bin_simps.
  6234   - ML structure Bin_Simprocs now named Int_Numeral_Base_Simprocs.
  6235 
  6236 See src/HOL/Integ/IntArith.thy for an example setup.
  6237 
  6238 * Command 'normal_form' computes the normal form of a term that may
  6239 contain free variables.  For example ``normal_form "rev [a, b, c]"''
  6240 produces ``[b, c, a]'' (without proof).  This command is suitable for
  6241 heavy-duty computations because the functions are compiled to ML
  6242 first.  Correspondingly, a method "normalization" is provided.  See
  6243 further src/HOL/ex/NormalForm.thy and src/Tools/nbe.ML.
  6244 
  6245 * Alternative iff syntax "A <-> B" for equality on bool (with priority
  6246 25 like -->); output depends on the "iff" print_mode, the default is
  6247 "A = B" (with priority 50).
  6248 
  6249 * Relations less (<) and less_eq (<=) are also available on type bool.
  6250 Modified syntax to disallow nesting without explicit parentheses,
  6251 e.g. "(x < y) < z" or "x < (y < z)", but NOT "x < y < z".  Potential
  6252 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6253 
  6254 * "LEAST x:A. P" expands to "LEAST x. x:A & P" (input only).
  6255 
  6256 * Relation composition operator "op O" now has precedence 75 and binds
  6257 stronger than union and intersection. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6258 
  6259 * The old set interval syntax "{m..n(}" (and relatives) has been
  6260 removed.  Use "{m..<n}" (and relatives) instead.
  6261 
  6262 * In the context of the assumption "~(s = t)" the Simplifier rewrites
  6263 "t = s" to False (by simproc "neq").  INCOMPATIBILITY, consider using
  6264 ``declare [[simproc del: neq]]''.
  6265 
  6266 * Simplifier: "m dvd n" where m and n are numbers is evaluated to
  6267 True/False.
  6268 
  6269 * Theorem Cons_eq_map_conv no longer declared as "simp".
  6270 
  6271 * Theorem setsum_mult renamed to setsum_right_distrib.
  6272 
  6273 * Prefer ex1I over ex_ex1I in single-step reasoning, e.g. by the
  6274 ``rule'' method.
  6275 
  6276 * Reimplemented methods "sat" and "satx", with several improvements:
  6277 goals no longer need to be stated as "<prems> ==> False", equivalences
  6278 (i.e. "=" on type bool) are handled, variable names of the form
  6279 "lit_<n>" are no longer reserved, significant speedup.
  6280 
  6281 * Methods "sat" and "satx" can now replay MiniSat proof traces.
  6282 zChaff is still supported as well.
  6283 
  6284 * 'inductive' and 'datatype': provide projections of mutual rules,
  6285 bundled as foo_bar.inducts;
  6286 
  6287 * Library: moved theories Parity, GCD, Binomial, Infinite_Set to
  6288 Library.
  6289 
  6290 * Library: moved theory Accessible_Part to main HOL.
  6291 
  6292 * Library: added theory Coinductive_List of potentially infinite lists
  6293 as greatest fixed-point.
  6294 
  6295 * Library: added theory AssocList which implements (finite) maps as
  6296 association lists.
  6297 
  6298 * Method "evaluation" solves goals (i.e. a boolean expression)
  6299 efficiently by compiling it to ML.  The goal is "proved" (via an
  6300 oracle) if it evaluates to True.
  6301 
  6302 * Linear arithmetic now splits certain operators (e.g. min, max, abs)
  6303 also when invoked by the simplifier.  This results in the Simplifier
  6304 being more powerful on arithmetic goals.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6305 Configuration option fast_arith_split_limit=0 recovers the old
  6306 behavior.
  6307 
  6308 * Support for hex (0x20) and binary (0b1001) numerals.
  6309 
  6310 * New method: reify eqs (t), where eqs are equations for an
  6311 interpretation I :: 'a list => 'b => 'c and t::'c is an optional
  6312 parameter, computes a term s::'b and a list xs::'a list and proves the
  6313 theorem I xs s = t. This is also known as reification or quoting. The
  6314 resulting theorem is applied to the subgoal to substitute t with I xs
  6315 s.  If t is omitted, the subgoal itself is reified.
  6316 
  6317 * New method: reflection corr_thm eqs (t). The parameters eqs and (t)
  6318 are as explained above. corr_thm is a theorem for I vs (f t) = I vs t,
  6319 where f is supposed to be a computable function (in the sense of code
  6320 generattion). The method uses reify to compute s and xs as above then
  6321 applies corr_thm and uses normalization by evaluation to "prove" f s =
  6322 r and finally gets the theorem t = r, which is again applied to the
  6323 subgoal. An Example is available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy.
  6324 
  6325 * Reflection: Automatic reification now handels binding, an example is
  6326 available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy
  6327 
  6328 * HOL-Statespace: ``State Spaces: The Locale Way'' introduces a
  6329 command 'statespace' that is similar to 'record', but introduces an
  6330 abstract specification based on the locale infrastructure instead of
  6331 HOL types.  This leads to extra flexibility in composing state spaces,
  6332 in particular multiple inheritance and renaming of components.
  6333 
  6334 
  6335 *** HOL-Complex ***
  6336 
  6337 * Hyperreal: Functions root and sqrt are now defined on negative real
  6338 inputs so that root n (- x) = - root n x and sqrt (- x) = - sqrt x.
  6339 Nonnegativity side conditions have been removed from many lemmas, so
  6340 that more subgoals may now be solved by simplification; potential
  6341 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6342 
  6343 * Real: new type classes formalize real normed vector spaces and
  6344 algebras, using new overloaded constants scaleR :: real => 'a => 'a
  6345 and norm :: 'a => real.
  6346 
  6347 * Real: constant of_real :: real => 'a::real_algebra_1 injects from
  6348 reals into other types. The overloaded constant Reals :: 'a set is now
  6349 defined as range of_real; potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6350 
  6351 * Real: proper support for ML code generation, including 'quickcheck'.
  6352 Reals are implemented as arbitrary precision rationals.
  6353 
  6354 * Hyperreal: Several constants that previously worked only for the
  6355 reals have been generalized, so they now work over arbitrary vector
  6356 spaces. Type annotations may need to be added in some cases; potential
  6357 INCOMPATIBILITY.

  6373   exp            :: 'a::{recpower,real_normed_field,banach} => 'a
  6374 
  6375 * Complex: Some complex-specific constants are now abbreviations for
  6376 overloaded ones: complex_of_real = of_real, cmod = norm, hcmod =
  6377 hnorm.  Other constants have been entirely removed in favor of the
  6378 polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  6389 
  6390 
  6391 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  6392 
  6393 * Formalisation of ideals and the quotient construction over rings.
  6394 
  6395 * Order and lattice theory no longer based on records.
  6396 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6397 
  6398 * Renamed lemmas least_carrier -> least_closed and greatest_carrier ->
  6399 greatest_closed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6400 
  6401 * Method algebra is now set up via an attribute.  For examples see
  6402 Ring.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY: the method is now weaker on combinations
  6403 of algebraic structures.
  6404 
  6405 * Renamed theory CRing to Ring.
  6406 
  6407 
  6408 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  6409 
  6410 * Substantial, yet incomplete support for nominal datatypes (binding
  6411 structures) based on HOL-Nominal logic.  See src/HOL/Nominal and
  6412 src/HOL/Nominal/Examples.  Prospective users should consult
  6413 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/nominal/
  6414 
  6415 
  6416 *** ML ***
  6417 
  6418 * ML basics: just one true type int, which coincides with IntInf.int
  6419 (even on SML/NJ).
  6420 
  6421 * ML within Isar: antiquotations allow to embed statically-checked
  6422 formal entities in the source, referring to the context available at
  6423 compile-time.  For example:
  6424 
  6425 ML {* @{sort "{zero,one}"} *}
  6426 ML {* @{typ "'a => 'b"} *}
  6427 ML {* @{term "%x. x"} *}
  6428 ML {* @{prop "x == y"} *}
  6429 ML {* @{ctyp "'a => 'b"} *}
  6430 ML {* @{cterm "%x. x"} *}
  6431 ML {* @{cprop "x == y"} *}
  6432 ML {* @{thm asm_rl} *}
  6433 ML {* @{thms asm_rl} *}
  6434 ML {* @{type_name c} *}
  6435 ML {* @{type_syntax c} *}
  6436 ML {* @{const_name c} *}
  6437 ML {* @{const_syntax c} *}
  6438 ML {* @{context} *}
  6439 ML {* @{theory} *}
  6440 ML {* @{theory Pure} *}
  6441 ML {* @{theory_ref} *}
  6442 ML {* @{theory_ref Pure} *}
  6443 ML {* @{simpset} *}
  6444 ML {* @{claset} *}
  6445 ML {* @{clasimpset} *}
  6446 
  6447 The same works for sources being ``used'' within an Isar context.
  6448 
  6449 * ML in Isar: improved error reporting; extra verbosity with
  6450 ML_Context.trace enabled.
  6451 
  6452 * Pure/General/table.ML: the join operations now works via exceptions
  6453 DUP/SAME instead of type option. This is simpler in simple cases, and
  6454 admits slightly more efficient complex applications.
  6455 
  6456 * Pure: 'advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) now
  6457 use Context.generic instead of just theory.
  6458 
  6459 * Pure: datatype Context.generic joins theory/Proof.context and
  6460 provides some facilities for code that works in either kind of
  6461 context, notably GenericDataFun for uniform theory and proof data.
  6462 
  6463 * Pure: simplified internal attribute type, which is now always
  6464 Context.generic * thm -> Context.generic * thm. Global (theory) vs.
  6465 local (Proof.context) attributes have been discontinued, while
  6466 minimizing code duplication. Thm.rule_attribute and
  6467 Thm.declaration_attribute build canonical attributes; see also structure
  6468 Context for further operations on Context.generic, notably
  6469 GenericDataFun. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt attribute type
  6470 declarations and definitions.
  6471 
  6472 * Context data interfaces (Theory/Proof/GenericDataFun): removed
  6473 name/print, uninitialized data defaults to ad-hoc copy of empty value,
  6474 init only required for impure data. INCOMPATIBILITY: empty really need
  6475 to be empty (no dependencies on theory content!)
  6476 
  6477 * Pure/kernel: consts certification ignores sort constraints given in
  6478 signature declarations. (This information is not relevant to the
  6479 logic, but only for type inference.) SIGNIFICANT INTERNAL CHANGE,
  6480 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6481 
  6482 * Pure: axiomatic type classes are now purely definitional, with
  6483 explicit proofs of class axioms and super class relations performed
  6484 internally. See Pure/axclass.ML for the main internal interfaces --
  6485 notably AxClass.define_class supercedes AxClass.add_axclass, and
  6486 AxClass.axiomatize_class/classrel/arity supersede
  6487 Sign.add_classes/classrel/arities.
  6488 
  6489 * Pure/Isar: Args/Attrib parsers operate on Context.generic --
  6490 global/local versions on theory vs. Proof.context have been
  6491 discontinued; Attrib.syntax and Method.syntax have been adapted
  6492 accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt parser expressions for
  6493 attributes, methods, etc.
  6494 
  6495 * Pure: several functions of signature "... -> theory -> theory * ..."
  6496 have been reoriented to "... -> theory -> ... * theory" in order to
  6497 allow natural usage in combination with the ||>, ||>>, |-> and
  6498 fold_map combinators.
  6499 
  6500 * Pure: official theorem names (closed derivations) and additional
  6501 comments (tags) are now strictly separate.  Name hints -- which are
  6502 maintained as tags -- may be attached any time without affecting the
  6503 derivation.
  6504 
  6505 * Pure: primitive rule lift_rule now takes goal cterm instead of an
  6506 actual goal state (thm).  Use Thm.lift_rule (Thm.cprem_of st i) to
  6507 achieve the old behaviour.
  6508 
  6509 * Pure: the "Goal" constant is now called "prop", supporting a
  6510 slightly more general idea of ``protecting'' meta-level rule
  6511 statements.
  6512 
  6513 * Pure: Logic.(un)varify only works in a global context, which is now
  6514 enforced instead of silently assumed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use
  6515 Logic.legacy_(un)varify as temporary workaround.
  6516 
  6517 * Pure: structure Name provides scalable operations for generating
  6518 internal variable names, notably Name.variants etc.  This replaces
  6519 some popular functions from term.ML:
  6520 
  6521   Term.variant		->  Name.variant
  6522   Term.variantlist	->  Name.variant_list
  6523   Term.invent_names	->  Name.invent_list
  6524 
  6525 Note that low-level renaming rarely occurs in new code -- operations
  6526 from structure Variable are used instead (see below).
  6527 
  6528 * Pure: structure Variable provides fundamental operations for proper
  6529 treatment of fixed/schematic variables in a context.  For example,
  6530 Variable.import introduces fixes for schematics of given facts and
  6531 Variable.export reverses the effect (up to renaming) -- this replaces
  6532 various freeze_thaw operations.
  6533 
  6534 * Pure: structure Goal provides simple interfaces for
  6535 init/conclude/finish and tactical prove operations (replacing former
  6536 Tactic.prove).  Goal.prove is the canonical way to prove results
  6537 within a given context; Goal.prove_global is a degraded version for
  6538 theory level goals, including a global Drule.standard.  Note that
  6539 OldGoals.prove_goalw_cterm has long been obsolete, since it is
  6540 ill-behaved in a local proof context (e.g. with local fixes/assumes or
  6541 in a locale context).
  6542 
  6543 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for parsing (Syntax.parse_term etc.)
  6544 and type checking (Syntax.check_term etc.), with common combinations
  6545 (Syntax.read_term etc.). These supersede former Sign.read_term etc.
  6546 which are considered legacy and await removal.
  6547 
  6548 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for type unchecking
  6549 (Syntax.uncheck_terms etc.) and unparsing (Syntax.unparse_term etc.),
  6550 with common combinations (Syntax.pretty_term, Syntax.string_of_term
  6551 etc.).  Former Sign.pretty_term, Sign.string_of_term etc. are still
  6552 available for convenience, but refer to the very same operations using
  6553 a mere theory instead of a full context.
  6554 
  6555 * Isar: simplified treatment of user-level errors, using exception
  6556 ERROR of string uniformly.  Function error now merely raises ERROR,
  6557 without any side effect on output channels.  The Isar toplevel takes
  6558 care of proper display of ERROR exceptions.  ML code may use plain
  6559 handle/can/try; cat_error may be used to concatenate errors like this:
  6560 
  6561   ... handle ERROR msg => cat_error msg "..."
  6562 
  6563 Toplevel ML code (run directly or through the Isar toplevel) may be
  6564 embedded into the Isar toplevel with exception display/debug like
  6565 this:
  6566 
  6567   Isar.toplevel (fn () => ...)
  6568 
  6569 INCOMPATIBILITY, removed special transform_error facilities, removed
  6570 obsolete variants of user-level exceptions (ERROR_MESSAGE,
  6571 Context.PROOF, ProofContext.CONTEXT, Proof.STATE, ProofHistory.FAIL)
  6572 -- use plain ERROR instead.
  6573 
  6574 * Isar: theory setup now has type (theory -> theory), instead of a
  6575 list.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use #> to compose setup functions.
  6576 
  6577 * Isar: ML toplevel pretty printer for type Proof.context, subject to
  6578 ProofContext.debug/verbose flags.
  6579 
  6580 * Isar: Toplevel.theory_to_proof admits transactions that modify the
  6581 theory before entering a proof state.  Transactions now always see a
  6582 quasi-functional intermediate checkpoint, both in interactive and
  6583 batch mode.
  6584 
  6585 * Isar: simplified interfaces for outer syntax.  Renamed
  6586 OuterSyntax.add_keywords to OuterSyntax.keywords.  Removed
  6587 OuterSyntax.add_parsers -- this functionality is now included in
  6588 OuterSyntax.command etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6589 
  6590 * Simplifier: the simpset of a running simplification process now
  6591 contains a proof context (cf. Simplifier.the_context), which is the
  6592 very context that the initial simpset has been retrieved from (by
  6593 simpset_of/local_simpset_of).  Consequently, all plug-in components
  6594 (solver, looper etc.) may depend on arbitrary proof data.
  6595 
  6596 * Simplifier.inherit_context inherits the proof context (plus the
  6597 local bounds) of the current simplification process; any simproc
  6598 etc. that calls the Simplifier recursively should do this!  Removed
  6599 former Simplifier.inherit_bounds, which is already included here --
  6600 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Tools based on low-level rewriting may even have to
  6601 specify an explicit context using Simplifier.context/theory_context.
  6602 
  6603 * Simplifier/Classical Reasoner: more abstract interfaces
  6604 change_simpset/claset for modifying the simpset/claset reference of a
  6605 theory; raw versions simpset/claset_ref etc. have been discontinued --
  6606 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6607 
  6608 * Provers: more generic wrt. syntax of object-logics, avoid hardwired
  6609 "Trueprop" etc.
  6610 
  6611 
  6612 *** System ***
  6613 
  6614 * settings: the default heap location within ISABELLE_HOME_USER now
  6615 includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER.  This simplifies use of multiple
  6616 Isabelle installations.
  6617 
  6618 * isabelle-process: option -S (secure mode) disables some critical
  6619 operations, notably runtime compilation and evaluation of ML source
  6620 code.
  6621 
  6622 * Basic Isabelle mode for jEdit, see Isabelle/lib/jedit/.
  6623 
  6624 * Support for parallel execution, using native multicore support of
  6625 Poly/ML 5.1.  The theory loader exploits parallelism when processing
  6626 independent theories, according to the given theory header
  6627 specifications. The maximum number of worker threads is specified via
  6628 usedir option -M or the "max-threads" setting in Proof General. A
  6629 speedup factor of 1.5--3.5 can be expected on a 4-core machine, and up
  6630 to 6 on a 8-core machine.  User-code needs to observe certain
  6631 guidelines for thread-safe programming, see appendix A in the Isar
  6632 Implementation manual.
  6633 
  6634 
  6635 
  6636 New in Isabelle2005 (October 2005)
  6637 ----------------------------------
  6638 
  6639 *** General ***
  6640 
  6641 * Theory headers: the new header syntax for Isar theories is
  6642 
  6643   theory <name>
  6644   imports <theory1> ... <theoryN>
  6645   uses <file1> ... <fileM>
  6646   begin
  6647 
  6648 where the 'uses' part is optional.  The previous syntax
  6649 
  6650   theory <name> = <theory1> + ... + <theoryN>:
  6651 
  6652 will disappear in the next release.  Use isatool fixheaders to convert
  6653 existing theory files.  Note that there is no change in ancient
  6654 non-Isar theories now, but these will disappear soon.
  6655 
  6656 * Theory loader: parent theories can now also be referred to via
  6657 relative and absolute paths.
  6658 
  6659 * Command 'find_theorems' searches for a list of criteria instead of a
  6660 list of constants. Known criteria are: intro, elim, dest, name:string,
  6661 simp:term, and any term. Criteria can be preceded by '-' to select
  6662 theorems that do not match. Intro, elim, dest select theorems that
  6663 match the current goal, name:s selects theorems whose fully qualified
  6664 name contain s, and simp:term selects all simplification rules whose
  6665 lhs match term.  Any other term is interpreted as pattern and selects
  6666 all theorems matching the pattern. Available in ProofGeneral under
  6667 'ProofGeneral -> Find Theorems' or C-c C-f.  Example:
  6668 
  6669   C-c C-f (100) "(_::nat) + _ + _" intro -name: "HOL."
  6670 
  6671 prints the last 100 theorems matching the pattern "(_::nat) + _ + _",
  6672 matching the current goal as introduction rule and not having "HOL."
  6673 in their name (i.e. not being defined in theory HOL).
  6674 
  6675 * Command 'thms_containing' has been discontinued in favour of
  6676 'find_theorems'; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6677 
  6678 * Communication with Proof General is now 8bit clean, which means that
  6679 Unicode text in UTF-8 encoding may be used within theory texts (both
  6680 formal and informal parts).  Cf. option -U of the Isabelle Proof
  6681 General interface.  Here are some simple examples (cf. src/HOL/ex):
  6682 
  6683   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Hebrew.html
  6684   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Chinese.html
  6685 
  6686 * Improved efficiency of the Simplifier and, to a lesser degree, the
  6687 Classical Reasoner.  Typical big applications run around 2 times
  6688 faster.
  6689 
  6690 
  6691 *** Document preparation ***
  6692 
  6693 * Commands 'display_drafts' and 'print_drafts' perform simple output
  6694 of raw sources.  Only those symbols that do not require additional
  6695 LaTeX packages (depending on comments in isabellesym.sty) are
  6696 displayed properly, everything else is left verbatim.  isatool display
  6697 and isatool print are used as front ends (these are subject to the
  6698 DVI/PDF_VIEWER and PRINT_COMMAND settings, respectively).
  6699 
  6700 * Command tags control specific markup of certain regions of text,
  6701 notably folding and hiding.  Predefined tags include "theory" (for
  6702 theory begin and end), "proof" for proof commands, and "ML" for
  6703 commands involving ML code; the additional tags "visible" and
  6704 "invisible" are unused by default.  Users may give explicit tag
  6705 specifications in the text, e.g. ''by %invisible (auto)''.  The
  6706 interpretation of tags is determined by the LaTeX job during document
  6707 preparation: see option -V of isatool usedir, or options -n and -t of
  6708 isatool document, or even the LaTeX macros \isakeeptag, \isafoldtag,
  6709 \isadroptag.
  6710 
  6711 Several document versions may be produced at the same time via isatool
  6712 usedir (the generated index.html will link all of them).  Typical
  6713 specifications include ''-V document=theory,proof,ML'' to present
  6714 theory/proof/ML parts faithfully, ''-V outline=/proof,/ML'' to fold
  6715 proof and ML commands, and ''-V mutilated=-theory,-proof,-ML'' to omit
  6716 these parts without any formal replacement text.  The Isabelle site
  6717 default settings produce ''document'' and ''outline'' versions as
  6718 specified above.
  6719 
  6720 * Several new antiquotations:
  6721 
  6722   @{term_type term} prints a term with its type annotated;
  6723 
  6724   @{typeof term} prints the type of a term;
  6725 
  6726   @{const const} is the same as @{term const}, but checks that the
  6727   argument is a known logical constant;
  6728 
  6729   @{term_style style term} and @{thm_style style thm} print a term or
  6730   theorem applying a "style" to it
  6731 
  6732   @{ML text}
  6733 
  6734 Predefined styles are 'lhs' and 'rhs' printing the lhs/rhs of
  6735 definitions, equations, inequations etc., 'concl' printing only the
  6736 conclusion of a meta-logical statement theorem, and 'prem1' .. 'prem19'
  6737 to print the specified premise.  TermStyle.add_style provides an ML
  6738 interface for introducing further styles.  See also the "LaTeX Sugar"
  6739 document practical applications.  The ML antiquotation prints
  6740 type-checked ML expressions verbatim.
  6741 
  6742 * Markup commands 'chapter', 'section', 'subsection', 'subsubsection',
  6743 and 'text' support optional locale specification '(in loc)', which
  6744 specifies the default context for interpreting antiquotations.  For
  6745 example: 'text (in lattice) {* @{thm inf_assoc}*}'.
  6746 
  6747 * Option 'locale=NAME' of antiquotations specifies an alternative
  6748 context interpreting the subsequent argument.  For example: @{thm
  6749 [locale=lattice] inf_assoc}.
  6750 
  6751 * Proper output of proof terms (@{prf ...} and @{full_prf ...}) within
  6752 a proof context.
  6753 
  6754 * Proper output of antiquotations for theory commands involving a
  6755 proof context (such as 'locale' or 'theorem (in loc) ...').
  6756 
  6757 * Delimiters of outer tokens (string etc.) now produce separate LaTeX
  6758 macros (\isachardoublequoteopen, isachardoublequoteclose etc.).
  6759 
  6760 * isatool usedir: new option -C (default true) controls whether option
  6761 -D should include a copy of the original document directory; -C false
  6762 prevents unwanted effects such as copying of administrative CVS data.
  6763 
  6764 
  6765 *** Pure ***
  6766 
  6767 * Considerably improved version of 'constdefs' command.  Now performs
  6768 automatic type-inference of declared constants; additional support for
  6769 local structure declarations (cf. locales and HOL records), see also
  6770 isar-ref manual.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to observe strictly
  6771 sequential dependencies of definitions within a single 'constdefs'
  6772 section; moreover, the declared name needs to be an identifier.  If
  6773 all fails, consider to fall back on 'consts' and 'defs' separately.
  6774 
  6775 * Improved indexed syntax and implicit structures.  First of all,
  6776 indexed syntax provides a notational device for subscripted
  6777 application, using the new syntax \<^bsub>term\<^esub> for arbitrary
  6778 expressions.  Secondly, in a local context with structure
  6779 declarations, number indexes \<^sub>n or the empty index (default
  6780 number 1) refer to a certain fixed variable implicitly; option
  6781 show_structs controls printing of implicit structures.  Typical
  6782 applications of these concepts involve record types and locales.
  6783 
  6784 * New command 'no_syntax' removes grammar declarations (and
  6785 translations) resulting from the given syntax specification, which is
  6786 interpreted in the same manner as for the 'syntax' command.
  6787 
  6788 * 'Advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) may depend
  6789 on the signature of the theory context being presently used for
  6790 parsing/printing, see also isar-ref manual.
  6791 
  6792 * Improved 'oracle' command provides a type-safe interface to turn an
  6793 ML expression of type theory -> T -> term into a primitive rule of
  6794 type theory -> T -> thm (i.e. the functionality of Thm.invoke_oracle
  6795 is already included here); see also FOL/ex/IffExample.thy;
  6796 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6797 
  6798 * axclass: name space prefix for class "c" is now "c_class" (was "c"
  6799 before); "cI" is no longer bound, use "c.intro" instead.
  6800 INCOMPATIBILITY.  This change avoids clashes of fact bindings for
  6801 axclasses vs. locales.
  6802 
  6803 * Improved internal renaming of symbolic identifiers -- attach primes
  6804 instead of base 26 numbers.
  6805 
  6806 * New flag show_question_marks controls printing of leading question
  6807 marks in schematic variable names.
  6808 
  6809 * In schematic variable names, *any* symbol following \<^isub> or
  6810 \<^isup> is now treated as part of the base name.  For example, the
  6811 following works without printing of awkward ".0" indexes:
  6812 
  6813   lemma "x\<^isub>1 = x\<^isub>2 ==> x\<^isub>2 = x\<^isub>1"
  6814     by simp
  6815 
  6816 * Inner syntax includes (*(*nested*) comments*).
  6817 
  6818 * Pretty printer now supports unbreakable blocks, specified in mixfix
  6819 annotations as "(00...)".
  6820 
  6821 * Clear separation of logical types and nonterminals, where the latter
  6822 may only occur in 'syntax' specifications or type abbreviations.
  6823 Before that distinction was only partially implemented via type class
  6824 "logic" vs. "{}".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare cases of improper
  6825 use of 'types'/'consts' instead of 'nonterminals'/'syntax'.  Some very
  6826 exotic syntax specifications may require further adaption
  6827 (e.g. Cube/Cube.thy).
  6828 
  6829 * Removed obsolete type class "logic", use the top sort {} instead.
  6830 Note that non-logical types should be declared as 'nonterminals'
  6831 rather than 'types'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for new object-logic
  6832 specifications.
  6833 
  6834 * Attributes 'induct' and 'cases': type or set names may now be
  6835 locally fixed variables as well.
  6836 
  6837 * Simplifier: can now control the depth to which conditional rewriting
  6838 is traced via the PG menu Isabelle -> Settings -> Trace Simp Depth
  6839 Limit.
  6840 
  6841 * Simplifier: simplification procedures may now take the current
  6842 simpset into account (cf. Simplifier.simproc(_i) / mk_simproc
  6843 interface), which is very useful for calling the Simplifier
  6844 recursively.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: the 'prems' argument of simprocs
  6845 is gone -- use prems_of_ss on the simpset instead.  Moreover, the
  6846 low-level mk_simproc no longer applies Logic.varify internally, to
  6847 allow for use in a context of fixed variables.
  6848 
  6849 * thin_tac now works even if the assumption being deleted contains !!
  6850 or ==>.  More generally, erule now works even if the major premise of
  6851 the elimination rule contains !! or ==>.
  6852 
  6853 * Method 'rules' has been renamed to 'iprover'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6854 
  6855 * Reorganized bootstrapping of the Pure theories; CPure is now derived
  6856 from Pure, which contains all common declarations already.  Both
  6857 theories are defined via plain Isabelle/Isar .thy files.
  6858 INCOMPATIBILITY: elements of CPure (such as the CPure.intro /
  6859 CPure.elim / CPure.dest attributes) now appear in the Pure name space;
  6860 use isatool fixcpure to adapt your theory and ML sources.
  6861 
  6862 * New syntax 'name(i-j, i-, i, ...)' for referring to specific
  6863 selections of theorems in named facts via index ranges.
  6864 
  6865 * 'print_theorems': in theory mode, really print the difference
  6866 wrt. the last state (works for interactive theory development only),
  6867 in proof mode print all local facts (cf. 'print_facts');
  6868 
  6869 * 'hide': option '(open)' hides only base names.
  6870 
  6871 * More efficient treatment of intermediate checkpoints in interactive
  6872 theory development.
  6873 
  6874 * Code generator is now invoked via code_module (incremental code
  6875 generation) and code_library (modular code generation, ML structures
  6876 for each theory).  INCOMPATIBILITY: new keywords 'file' and 'contains'
  6877 must be quoted when used as identifiers.
  6878 
  6879 * New 'value' command for reading, evaluating and printing terms using
  6880 the code generator.  INCOMPATIBILITY: command keyword 'value' must be
  6881 quoted when used as identifier.
  6882 
  6883 
  6884 *** Locales ***
  6885 
  6886 * New commands for the interpretation of locale expressions in
  6887 theories (1), locales (2) and proof contexts (3).  These generate
  6888 proof obligations from the expression specification.  After the
  6889 obligations have been discharged, theorems of the expression are added
  6890 to the theory, target locale or proof context.  The synopsis of the
  6891 commands is a follows:
  6892 
  6893   (1) interpretation expr inst
  6894   (2) interpretation target < expr
  6895   (3) interpret expr inst
  6896 
  6897 Interpretation in theories and proof contexts require a parameter
  6898 instantiation of terms from the current context.  This is applied to
  6899 specifications and theorems of the interpreted expression.
  6900 Interpretation in locales only permits parameter renaming through the
  6901 locale expression.  Interpretation is smart in that interpretations
  6902 that are active already do not occur in proof obligations, neither are
  6903 instantiated theorems stored in duplicate.  Use 'print_interps' to
  6904 inspect active interpretations of a particular locale.  For details,
  6905 see the Isar Reference manual.  Examples can be found in
  6906 HOL/Finite_Set.thy and HOL/Algebra/UnivPoly.thy.
  6907 
  6908 INCOMPATIBILITY: former 'instantiate' has been withdrawn, use
  6909 'interpret' instead.
  6910 
  6911 * New context element 'constrains' for adding type constraints to
  6912 parameters.
  6913 
  6914 * Context expressions: renaming of parameters with syntax
  6915 redeclaration.
  6916 
  6917 * Locale declaration: 'includes' disallowed.
  6918 
  6919 * Proper static binding of attribute syntax -- i.e. types / terms /
  6920 facts mentioned as arguments are always those of the locale definition
  6921 context, independently of the context of later invocations.  Moreover,
  6922 locale operations (renaming and type / term instantiation) are applied
  6923 to attribute arguments as expected.
  6924 
  6925 INCOMPATIBILITY of the ML interface: always pass Attrib.src instead of
  6926 actual attributes; rare situations may require Attrib.attribute to
  6927 embed those attributes into Attrib.src that lack concrete syntax.
  6928 Attribute implementations need to cooperate properly with the static
  6929 binding mechanism.  Basic parsers Args.XXX_typ/term/prop and
  6930 Attrib.XXX_thm etc. already do the right thing without further
  6931 intervention.  Only unusual applications -- such as "where" or "of"
  6932 (cf. src/Pure/Isar/attrib.ML), which process arguments depending both
  6933 on the context and the facts involved -- may have to assign parsed
  6934 values to argument tokens explicitly.
  6935 
  6936 * Changed parameter management in theorem generation for long goal
  6937 statements with 'includes'.  INCOMPATIBILITY: produces a different
  6938 theorem statement in rare situations.
  6939 
  6940 * Locale inspection command 'print_locale' omits notes elements.  Use
  6941 'print_locale!' to have them included in the output.
  6942 
  6943 
  6944 *** Provers ***
  6945 
  6946 * Provers/hypsubst.ML: improved version of the subst method, for
  6947 single-step rewriting: it now works in bound variable contexts. New is
  6948 'subst (asm)', for rewriting an assumption.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may
  6949 rewrite a different subterm than the original subst method, which is
  6950 still available as 'simplesubst'.
  6951 
  6952 * Provers/quasi.ML: new transitivity reasoners for transitivity only
  6953 and quasi orders.
  6954 
  6955 * Provers/trancl.ML: new transitivity reasoner for transitive and
  6956 reflexive-transitive closure of relations.
  6957 
  6958 * Provers/blast.ML: new reference depth_limit to make blast's depth
  6959 limit (previously hard-coded with a value of 20) user-definable.
  6960 
  6961 * Provers/simplifier.ML has been moved to Pure, where Simplifier.setup
  6962 is peformed already.  Object-logics merely need to finish their
  6963 initial simpset configuration as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6964 
  6965 
  6966 *** HOL ***
  6967 
  6968 * Symbolic syntax of Hilbert Choice Operator is now as follows:
  6969 
  6970   syntax (epsilon)
  6971     "_Eps" :: "[pttrn, bool] => 'a"    ("(3\<some>_./ _)" [0, 10] 10)
  6972 
  6973 The symbol \<some> is displayed as the alternative epsilon of LaTeX
  6974 and x-symbol; use option '-m epsilon' to get it actually printed.
  6975 Moreover, the mathematically important symbolic identifier \<epsilon>
  6976 becomes available as variable, constant etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  6977 
  6978 * "x > y" abbreviates "y < x" and "x >= y" abbreviates "y <= x".
  6979 Similarly for all quantifiers: "ALL x > y" etc.  The x-symbol for >=
  6980 is \<ge>. New transitivity rules have been added to HOL/Orderings.thy to
  6981 support corresponding Isar calculations.
  6982 
  6983 * "{x:A. P}" abbreviates "{x. x:A & P}", and similarly for "\<in>"
  6984 instead of ":".
  6985 
  6986 * theory SetInterval: changed the syntax for open intervals:
  6987 
  6988   Old       New
  6989   {..n(}    {..<n}
  6990   {)n..}    {n<..}
  6991   {m..n(}   {m..<n}
  6992   {)m..n}   {m<..n}
  6993   {)m..n(}  {m<..<n}
  6994 
  6995 The old syntax is still supported but will disappear in the next
  6996 release.  For conversion use the following Emacs search and replace
  6997 patterns (these are not perfect but work quite well):
  6998 
  6999   {)\([^\.]*\)\.\.  ->  {\1<\.\.}
  7000   \.\.\([^(}]*\)(}  ->  \.\.<\1}
  7001 
  7002 * Theory Commutative_Ring (in Library): method comm_ring for proving
  7003 equalities in commutative rings; method 'algebra' provides a generic
  7004 interface.
  7005 
  7006 * Theory Finite_Set: changed the syntax for 'setsum', summation over
  7007 finite sets: "setsum (%x. e) A", which used to be "\<Sum>x:A. e", is
  7008 now either "SUM x:A. e" or "\<Sum>x \<in> A. e". The bound variable can
  7009 be a tuple pattern.
  7010 
  7011 Some new syntax forms are available:
  7012 
  7013   "\<Sum>x | P. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {x. P}"
  7014   "\<Sum>x = a..b. e"   for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..b}"
  7015   "\<Sum>x = a..<b. e"  for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..<b}"
  7016   "\<Sum>x < k. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {..<k}"
  7017 
  7018 The latter form "\<Sum>x < k. e" used to be based on a separate
  7019 function "Summation", which has been discontinued.
  7020 
  7021 * theory Finite_Set: in structured induction proofs, the insert case
  7022 is now 'case (insert x F)' instead of the old counterintuitive 'case
  7023 (insert F x)'.
  7024 
  7025 * The 'refute' command has been extended to support a much larger
  7026 fragment of HOL, including axiomatic type classes, constdefs and
  7027 typedefs, inductive datatypes and recursion.
  7028 
  7029 * New tactics 'sat' and 'satx' to prove propositional tautologies.
  7030 Requires zChaff with proof generation to be installed.  See
  7031 HOL/ex/SAT_Examples.thy for examples.
  7032 
  7033 * Datatype induction via method 'induct' now preserves the name of the
  7034 induction variable. For example, when proving P(xs::'a list) by
  7035 induction on xs, the induction step is now P(xs) ==> P(a#xs) rather
  7036 than P(list) ==> P(a#list) as previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  7037 in unstructured proof scripts.
  7038 
  7039 * Reworked implementation of records.  Improved scalability for
  7040 records with many fields, avoiding performance problems for type
  7041 inference. Records are no longer composed of nested field types, but
  7042 of nested extension types. Therefore the record type only grows linear
  7043 in the number of extensions and not in the number of fields.  The
  7044 top-level (users) view on records is preserved.  Potential
  7045 INCOMPATIBILITY only in strange cases, where the theory depends on the
  7046 old record representation. The type generated for a record is called
  7047 <record_name>_ext_type.
  7048 
  7049 Flag record_quick_and_dirty_sensitive can be enabled to skip the
  7050 proofs triggered by a record definition or a simproc (if
  7051 quick_and_dirty is enabled).  Definitions of large records can take
  7052 quite long.
  7053 
  7054 New simproc record_upd_simproc for simplification of multiple record
  7055 updates enabled by default.  Moreover, trivial updates are also
  7056 removed: r(|x := x r|) = r.  INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break
  7057 occasionally, since simplification is more powerful by default.
  7058 
  7059 * typedef: proper support for polymorphic sets, which contain extra
  7060 type-variables in the term.
  7061 
  7062 * Simplifier: automatically reasons about transitivity chains
  7063 involving "trancl" (r^+) and "rtrancl" (r^*) by setting up tactics
  7064 provided by Provers/trancl.ML as additional solvers.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  7065 old proofs break occasionally as simplification may now solve more
  7066 goals than previously.
  7067 
  7068 * Simplifier: converts x <= y into x = y if assumption y <= x is
  7069 present.  Works for all partial orders (class "order"), in particular
  7070 numbers and sets.  For linear orders (e.g. numbers) it treats ~ x < y
  7071 just like y <= x.
  7072 
  7073 * Simplifier: new simproc for "let x = a in f x".  If a is a free or
  7074 bound variable or a constant then the let is unfolded.  Otherwise
  7075 first a is simplified to b, and then f b is simplified to g. If
  7076 possible we abstract b from g arriving at "let x = b in h x",
  7077 otherwise we unfold the let and arrive at g.  The simproc can be
  7078 enabled/disabled by the reference use_let_simproc.  Potential
  7079 INCOMPATIBILITY since simplification is more powerful by default.
  7080 
  7081 * Classical reasoning: the meson method now accepts theorems as arguments.
  7082 
  7083 * Prover support: pre-release of the Isabelle-ATP linkup, which runs background
  7084 jobs to provide advice on the provability of subgoals.
  7085 
  7086 * Theory OrderedGroup and Ring_and_Field: various additions and
  7087 improvements to faciliate calculations involving equalities and
  7088 inequalities.
  7089 
  7090 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7091 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7092 
  7093   abs_eq             now named abs_of_nonneg
  7094   abs_of_ge_0        now named abs_of_nonneg
  7095   abs_minus_eq       now named abs_of_nonpos

  7099   mult_pos_le        now named mult_nonneg_nonneg
  7100   mult_pos_neg_le    now named mult_nonneg_nonpos
  7101   mult_pos_neg2_le   now named mult_nonneg_nonpos2
  7102   mult_neg           now named mult_neg_neg
  7103   mult_neg_le        now named mult_nonpos_nonpos
  7104 
  7105 * The following lemmas in Ring_and_Field have been added to the simplifier:
  7106      
  7107      zero_le_square
  7108      not_square_less_zero 
  7109 
  7110   The following lemmas have been deleted from Real/RealPow:
  7111   
  7112      realpow_zero_zero
  7113      realpow_two
  7114      realpow_less
  7115      zero_le_power
  7116      realpow_two_le
  7117      abs_realpow_two
  7118      realpow_two_abs     
  7119 
  7120 * Theory Parity: added rules for simplifying exponents.
  7121 
  7122 * Theory List:
  7123 
  7124 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7125 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7126 
  7127   list_all_Nil       now named list_all.simps(1)
  7128   list_all_Cons      now named list_all.simps(2)
  7129   list_all_conv      now named list_all_iff
  7130   set_mem_eq         now named mem_iff
  7131 
  7132 * Theories SetsAndFunctions and BigO (see HOL/Library) support
  7133 asymptotic "big O" calculations.  See the notes in BigO.thy.
  7134 
  7135 
  7136 *** HOL-Complex ***
  7137 
  7138 * Theory RealDef: better support for embedding natural numbers and
  7139 integers in the reals.
  7140 
  7141 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7142 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7143 
  7144   exp_ge_add_one_self  now requires no hypotheses
  7145   real_of_int_add      reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7146   real_of_int_minus    reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7147   real_of_int_diff     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7148   real_of_int_mult     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7149 
  7150 * Theory RComplete: expanded support for floor and ceiling functions.
  7151 
  7152 * Theory Ln is new, with properties of the natural logarithm
  7153 
  7154 * Hyperreal: There is a new type constructor "star" for making
  7155 nonstandard types.  The old type names are now type synonyms:
  7156 
  7157   hypreal = real star
  7158   hypnat = nat star
  7159   hcomplex = complex star
  7160 
  7161 * Hyperreal: Many groups of similarly-defined constants have been
  7162 replaced by polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  7176   InternalFuns <-- InternalNatFuns, InternalNatFuns2, Internal{C,RC,CR}Funs
  7177 
  7178 * Hyperreal: Many type-specific theorems have been removed in favor of
  7179 theorems specific to various axiomatic type classes (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7180 
  7181   add_commute <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_commute

  7204   add_nonneg_nonneg <-- hypreal_le_add_order
  7205 
  7206 * Hyperreal: Separate theorems having to do with type-specific
  7207 versions of constants have been merged into theorems that apply to the
  7208 new polymorphic constants (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7209 
  7210   STAR_UNIV_set <-- {STAR_real,NatStar_real,STARC_complex}_set
  7211   STAR_empty_set <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_empty_set

  7298 
  7299 * Hyperreal: new method "transfer" that implements the transfer
  7300 principle of nonstandard analysis. With a subgoal that mentions
  7301 nonstandard types like "'a star", the command "apply transfer"
  7302 replaces it with an equivalent one that mentions only standard types.
  7303 To be successful, all free variables must have standard types; non-
  7304 standard variables must have explicit universal quantifiers.
  7305 
  7306 * Hyperreal: A theory of Taylor series.
  7307 
  7308 
  7309 *** HOLCF ***
  7310 
  7311 * Discontinued special version of 'constdefs' (which used to support
  7312 continuous functions) in favor of the general Pure one with full
  7313 type-inference.
  7314 
  7315 * New simplification procedure for solving continuity conditions; it
  7316 is much faster on terms with many nested lambda abstractions (cubic
  7317 instead of exponential time).
  7318 
  7319 * New syntax for domain package: selector names are now optional.
  7320 Parentheses should be omitted unless argument is lazy, for example:
  7321 
  7322   domain 'a stream = cons "'a" (lazy "'a stream")
  7323 
  7324 * New command 'fixrec' for defining recursive functions with pattern
  7325 matching; defining multiple functions with mutual recursion is also
  7326 supported.  Patterns may include the constants cpair, spair, up, sinl,
  7327 sinr, or any data constructor defined by the domain package. The given
  7328 equations are proven as rewrite rules. See HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  7329 syntax and examples.
  7330 
  7331 * New commands 'cpodef' and 'pcpodef' for defining predicate subtypes
  7332 of cpo and pcpo types. Syntax is exactly like the 'typedef' command,
  7333 but the proof obligation additionally includes an admissibility
  7334 requirement. The packages generate instances of class cpo or pcpo,
  7335 with continuity and strictness theorems for Rep and Abs.
  7336 
  7337 * HOLCF: Many theorems have been renamed according to a more standard naming
  7338 scheme (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7339 
  7340   foo_inject:  "foo$x = foo$y ==> x = y"
  7341   foo_eq:      "(foo$x = foo$y) = (x = y)"
  7342   foo_less:    "(foo$x << foo$y) = (x << y)"
  7343   foo_strict:  "foo$UU = UU"
  7344   foo_defined: "... ==> foo$x ~= UU"
  7345   foo_defined_iff: "(foo$x = UU) = (x = UU)"
  7346 
  7347 
  7348 *** ZF ***
  7349 
  7350 * ZF/ex: theories Group and Ring provide examples in abstract algebra,
  7351 including the First Isomorphism Theorem (on quotienting by the kernel
  7352 of a homomorphism).
  7353 
  7354 * ZF/Simplifier: install second copy of type solver that actually
  7355 makes use of TC rules declared to Isar proof contexts (or locales);
  7356 the old version is still required for ML proof scripts.
  7357 
  7358 
  7359 *** Cube ***
  7360 
  7361 * Converted to Isar theory format; use locales instead of axiomatic
  7362 theories.
  7363 
  7364 
  7365 *** ML ***
  7366 
  7367 * Pure/library.ML: added ##>, ##>>, #>> -- higher-order counterparts
  7368 for ||>, ||>>, |>>,
  7369 
  7370 * Pure/library.ML no longer defines its own option datatype, but uses
  7371 that of the SML basis, which has constructors NONE and SOME instead of
  7372 None and Some, as well as exception Option.Option instead of OPTION.
  7373 The functions the, if_none, is_some, is_none have been adapted
  7374 accordingly, while Option.map replaces apsome.
  7375 
  7376 * Pure/library.ML: the exception LIST has been given up in favour of
  7377 the standard exceptions Empty and Subscript, as well as
  7378 Library.UnequalLengths.  Function like Library.hd and Library.tl are
  7379 superceded by the standard hd and tl functions etc.
  7380 
  7381 A number of basic list functions are no longer exported to the ML
  7382 toplevel, as they are variants of predefined functions.  The following
  7383 suggests how one can translate existing code:
  7384 
  7385     rev_append xs ys = List.revAppend (xs, ys)
  7386     nth_elem (i, xs) = List.nth (xs, i)
  7387     last_elem xs = List.last xs
  7388     flat xss = List.concat xss
  7389     seq fs = List.app fs
  7390     partition P xs = List.partition P xs
  7391     mapfilter f xs = List.mapPartial f xs
  7392 
  7393 * Pure/library.ML: several combinators for linear functional
  7394 transformations, notably reverse application and composition:
  7395 
  7396   x |> f                f #> g
  7397   (x, y) |-> f          f #-> g
  7398 
  7399 * Pure/library.ML: introduced/changed precedence of infix operators:
  7400 
  7401   infix 1 |> |-> ||> ||>> |>> |>>> #> #->;
  7402   infix 2 ?;
  7403   infix 3 o oo ooo oooo;
  7404   infix 4 ~~ upto downto;
  7405 
  7406 Maybe INCOMPATIBILITY when any of those is used in conjunction with other
  7407 infix operators.
  7408 
  7409 * Pure/library.ML: natural list combinators fold, fold_rev, and
  7410 fold_map support linear functional transformations and nesting.  For
  7411 example:
  7412 
  7413   fold f [x1, ..., xN] y =
  7414     y |> f x1 |> ... |> f xN
  7415 
  7416   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] y =
  7417     y |> fold f xs1 |> ... |> fold f xsN
  7418 
  7419   fold f [x1, ..., xN] =
  7420     f x1 #> ... #> f xN
  7421 
  7422   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] =
  7423     fold f xs1 #> ... #> fold f xsN
  7424 
  7425 * Pure/library.ML: the following selectors on type 'a option are
  7426 available:
  7427 
  7428   the:               'a option -> 'a  (*partial*)
  7429   these:             'a option -> 'a  where 'a = 'b list
  7430   the_default: 'a -> 'a option -> 'a
  7431   the_list:          'a option -> 'a list
  7432 
  7433 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  7434 basic operations for association lists, following natural argument
  7435 order; moreover the explicit equality predicate passed here avoids
  7436 potentially expensive polymorphic runtime equality checks.
  7437 The old functions may be expressed as follows:
  7438 
  7439   assoc = uncurry (AList.lookup (op =))
  7440   assocs = these oo AList.lookup (op =)
  7441   overwrite = uncurry (AList.update (op =)) o swap
  7442 
  7443 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  7444 
  7445   val make: ('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> ('a * 'b) list
  7446   val find: ('a * 'b -> bool) -> ('c * 'b) list -> 'a -> 'c list
  7447 
  7448 replacing make_keylist and keyfilter (occassionally used)
  7449 Naive rewrites:
  7450 
  7451   make_keylist = AList.make
  7452   keyfilter = AList.find (op =)
  7453 
  7454 * eq_fst and eq_snd now take explicit equality parameter, thus
  7455   avoiding eqtypes. Naive rewrites:
  7456 
  7457     eq_fst = eq_fst (op =)
  7458     eq_snd = eq_snd (op =)
  7459 
  7460 * Removed deprecated apl and apr (rarely used).
  7461   Naive rewrites:
  7462 
  7463     apl (n, op) =>>= curry op n
  7464     apr (op, m) =>>= fn n => op (n, m)
  7465 
  7466 * Pure/General: structure OrdList (cf. Pure/General/ord_list.ML)
  7467 provides a reasonably efficient light-weight implementation of sets as
  7468 lists.
  7469 
  7470 * Pure/General: generic tables (cf. Pure/General/table.ML) provide a
  7471 few new operations; existing lookup and update are now curried to
  7472 follow natural argument order (for use with fold etc.);
  7473 INCOMPATIBILITY, use (uncurry Symtab.lookup) etc. as last resort.
  7474 
  7475 * Pure/General: output via the Isabelle channels of
  7476 writeln/warning/error etc. is now passed through Output.output, with a
  7477 hook for arbitrary transformations depending on the print_mode
  7478 (cf. Output.add_mode -- the first active mode that provides a output
  7479 function wins).  Already formatted output may be embedded into further
  7480 text via Output.raw; the result of Pretty.string_of/str_of and derived
  7481 functions (string_of_term/cterm/thm etc.) is already marked raw to
  7482 accommodate easy composition of diagnostic messages etc.  Programmers
  7483 rarely need to care about Output.output or Output.raw at all, with
  7484 some notable exceptions: Output.output is required when bypassing the
  7485 standard channels (writeln etc.), or in token translations to produce
  7486 properly formatted results; Output.raw is required when capturing
  7487 already output material that will eventually be presented to the user
  7488 a second time.  For the default print mode, both Output.output and
  7489 Output.raw have no effect.
  7490 
  7491 * Pure/General: Output.time_accumulator NAME creates an operator ('a
  7492 -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'b to measure runtime and count invocations; the
  7493 cumulative results are displayed at the end of a batch session.
  7494 
  7495 * Pure/General: File.sysify_path and File.quote_sysify path have been
  7496 replaced by File.platform_path and File.shell_path (with appropriate
  7497 hooks).  This provides a clean interface for unusual systems where the
  7498 internal and external process view of file names are different.
  7499 
  7500 * Pure: more efficient orders for basic syntactic entities: added
  7501 fast_string_ord, fast_indexname_ord, fast_term_ord; changed sort_ord
  7502 and typ_ord to use fast_string_ord and fast_indexname_ord (term_ord is
  7503 NOT affected); structures Symtab, Vartab, Typtab, Termtab use the fast
  7504 orders now -- potential INCOMPATIBILITY for code that depends on a
  7505 particular order for Symtab.keys, Symtab.dest, etc. (consider using
  7506 Library.sort_strings on result).
  7507 
  7508 * Pure/term.ML: combinators fold_atyps, fold_aterms, fold_term_types,
  7509 fold_types traverse types/terms from left to right, observing natural
  7510 argument order.  Supercedes previous foldl_XXX versions, add_frees,
  7511 add_vars etc. have been adapted as well: INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7512 
  7513 * Pure: name spaces have been refined, with significant changes of the
  7514 internal interfaces -- INCOMPATIBILITY.  Renamed cond_extern(_table)
  7515 to extern(_table).  The plain name entry path is superceded by a
  7516 general 'naming' context, which also includes the 'policy' to produce
  7517 a fully qualified name and external accesses of a fully qualified
  7518 name; NameSpace.extend is superceded by context dependent
  7519 Sign.declare_name.  Several theory and proof context operations modify
  7520 the naming context.  Especially note Theory.restore_naming and
  7521 ProofContext.restore_naming to get back to a sane state; note that
  7522 Theory.add_path is no longer sufficient to recover from
  7523 Theory.absolute_path in particular.
  7524 
  7525 * Pure: new flags short_names (default false) and unique_names
  7526 (default true) for controlling output of qualified names.  If
  7527 short_names is set, names are printed unqualified.  If unique_names is
  7528 reset, the name prefix is reduced to the minimum required to achieve
  7529 the original result when interning again, even if there is an overlap
  7530 with earlier declarations.
  7531 
  7532 * Pure/TheoryDataFun: change of the argument structure; 'prep_ext' is
  7533 now 'extend', and 'merge' gets an additional Pretty.pp argument
  7534 (useful for printing error messages).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7535 
  7536 * Pure: major reorganization of the theory context.  Type Sign.sg and
  7537 Theory.theory are now identified, referring to the universal
  7538 Context.theory (see Pure/context.ML).  Actual signature and theory
  7539 content is managed as theory data.  The old code and interfaces were
  7540 spread over many files and structures; the new arrangement introduces
  7541 considerable INCOMPATIBILITY to gain more clarity:
  7542 
  7543   Context -- theory management operations (name, identity, inclusion,
  7544     parents, ancestors, merge, etc.), plus generic theory data;
  7545 
  7546   Sign -- logical signature and syntax operations (declaring consts,
  7547     types, etc.), plus certify/read for common entities;
  7548 
  7549   Theory -- logical theory operations (stating axioms, definitions,
  7550     oracles), plus a copy of logical signature operations (consts,
  7551     types, etc.); also a few basic management operations (Theory.copy,
  7552     Theory.merge, etc.)
  7553 
  7554 The most basic sign_of operations (Theory.sign_of, Thm.sign_of_thm
  7555 etc.) as well as the sign field in Thm.rep_thm etc. have been retained
  7556 for convenience -- they merely return the theory.
  7557 
  7558 * Pure: type Type.tsig is superceded by theory in most interfaces.
  7559 
  7560 * Pure: the Isar proof context type is already defined early in Pure
  7561 as Context.proof (note that ProofContext.context and Proof.context are
  7562 aliases, where the latter is the preferred name).  This enables other
  7563 Isabelle components to refer to that type even before Isar is present.
  7564 
  7565 * Pure/sign/theory: discontinued named name spaces (i.e. classK,
  7566 typeK, constK, axiomK, oracleK), but provide explicit operations for
  7567 any of these kinds.  For example, Sign.intern typeK is now
  7568 Sign.intern_type, Theory.hide_space Sign.typeK is now
  7569 Theory.hide_types.  Also note that former
  7570 Theory.hide_classes/types/consts are now
  7571 Theory.hide_classes_i/types_i/consts_i, while the non '_i' versions
  7572 internalize their arguments!  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7573 
  7574 * Pure: get_thm interface (of PureThy and ProofContext) expects
  7575 datatype thmref (with constructors Name and NameSelection) instead of
  7576 plain string -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  7577 
  7578 * Pure: cases produced by proof methods specify options, where NONE
  7579 means to remove case bindings -- INCOMPATIBILITY in
  7580 (RAW_)METHOD_CASES.
  7581 
  7582 * Pure: the following operations retrieve axioms or theorems from a
  7583 theory node or theory hierarchy, respectively:
  7584 
  7585   Theory.axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  7586   Theory.all_axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  7587   PureThy.thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  7588   PureThy.all_thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  7589 
  7590 * Pure: print_tac now outputs the goal through the trace channel.
  7591 
  7592 * Isar toplevel: improved diagnostics, mostly for Poly/ML only.
  7593 Reference Toplevel.debug (default false) controls detailed printing
  7594 and tracing of low-level exceptions; Toplevel.profiling (default 0)
  7595 controls execution profiling -- set to 1 for time and 2 for space
  7596 (both increase the runtime).
  7597 
  7598 * Isar session: The initial use of ROOT.ML is now always timed,
  7599 i.e. the log will show the actual process times, in contrast to the
  7600 elapsed wall-clock time that the outer shell wrapper produces.
  7601 
  7602 * Simplifier: improved handling of bound variables (nameless
  7603 representation, avoid allocating new strings).  Simprocs that invoke
  7604 the Simplifier recursively should use Simplifier.inherit_bounds to
  7605 avoid local name clashes.  Failure to do so produces warnings
  7606 "Simplifier: renamed bound variable ..."; set Simplifier.debug_bounds
  7607 for further details.
  7608 
  7609 * ML functions legacy_bindings and use_legacy_bindings produce ML fact
  7610 bindings for all theorems stored within a given theory; this may help
  7611 in porting non-Isar theories to Isar ones, while keeping ML proof
  7612 scripts for the time being.
  7613 
  7614 * ML operator HTML.with_charset specifies the charset begin used for
  7615 generated HTML files.  For example:
  7616 
  7617   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Hebrew";
  7618   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Chinese";
  7619 
  7620 
  7621 *** System ***
  7622 
  7623 * Allow symlinks to all proper Isabelle executables (Isabelle,
  7624 isabelle, isatool etc.).
  7625 
  7626 * ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT setting specifies preferred document format (for
  7627 isatool doc, isatool mkdir, display_drafts etc.).
  7628 
  7629 * isatool usedir: option -f allows specification of the ML file to be
  7630 used by Isabelle; default is ROOT.ML.
  7631 
  7632 * New isatool version outputs the version identifier of the Isabelle
  7633 distribution being used.
  7634 
  7635 * HOL: new isatool dimacs2hol converts files in DIMACS CNF format
  7636 (containing Boolean satisfiability problems) into Isabelle/HOL
  7637 theories.
  7638 
  7639 
  7640 
  7641 New in Isabelle2004 (April 2004)
  7642 --------------------------------
  7643 
  7644 *** General ***
  7645 
  7646 * Provers/order.ML:  new efficient reasoner for partial and linear orders.
  7647   Replaces linorder.ML.
  7648 
  7649 * Pure: Greek letters (except small lambda, \<lambda>), as well as Gothic
  7650   (\<aa>...\<zz>\<AA>...\<ZZ>), calligraphic (\<A>...\<Z>), and Euler
  7651   (\<a>...\<z>), are now considered normal letters, and can therefore
  7652   be used anywhere where an ASCII letter (a...zA...Z) has until
  7653   now. COMPATIBILITY: This obviously changes the parsing of some
  7654   terms, especially where a symbol has been used as a binder, say
  7655   '\<Pi>x. ...', which is now a type error since \<Pi>x will be parsed
  7656   as an identifier.  Fix it by inserting a space around former
  7657   symbols.  Call 'isatool fixgreek' to try to fix parsing errors in
  7658   existing theory and ML files.
  7659 
  7660 * Pure: Macintosh and Windows line-breaks are now allowed in theory files.
  7661 
  7662 * Pure: single letter sub/superscripts (\<^isub> and \<^isup>) are now
  7663   allowed in identifiers. Similar to Greek letters \<^isub> is now considered
  7664   a normal (but invisible) letter. For multiple letter subscripts repeat
  7665   \<^isub> like this: x\<^isub>1\<^isub>2.
  7666 
  7667 * Pure: There are now sub-/superscripts that can span more than one
  7668   character. Text between \<^bsub> and \<^esub> is set in subscript in
  7669   ProofGeneral and LaTeX, text between \<^bsup> and \<^esup> in
  7670   superscript. The new control characters are not identifier parts.
  7671 
  7672 * Pure: Control-symbols of the form \<^raw:...> will literally print the
  7673   content of "..." to the latex file instead of \isacntrl... . The "..."
  7674   may consist of any printable characters excluding the end bracket >.
  7675 
  7676 * Pure: Using new Isar command "finalconsts" (or the ML functions
  7677   Theory.add_finals or Theory.add_finals_i) it is now possible to
  7678   declare constants "final", which prevents their being given a definition
  7679   later.  It is useful for constants whose behaviour is fixed axiomatically
  7680   rather than definitionally, such as the meta-logic connectives.
  7681 
  7682 * Pure: 'instance' now handles general arities with general sorts
  7683   (i.e. intersections of classes),
  7684 
  7685 * Presentation: generated HTML now uses a CSS style sheet to make layout
  7686   (somewhat) independent of content. It is copied from lib/html/isabelle.css.
  7687   It can be changed to alter the colors/layout of generated pages.
  7688 
  7689 
  7690 *** Isar ***
  7691 
  7692 * Tactic emulation methods rule_tac, erule_tac, drule_tac, frule_tac,
  7693   cut_tac, subgoal_tac and thin_tac:
  7694   - Now understand static (Isar) contexts.  As a consequence, users of Isar
  7695     locales are no longer forced to write Isar proof scripts.
  7696     For details see Isar Reference Manual, paragraph 4.3.2: Further tactic
  7697     emulations.
  7698   - INCOMPATIBILITY: names of variables to be instantiated may no
  7699     longer be enclosed in quotes.  Instead, precede variable name with `?'.
  7700     This is consistent with the instantiation attribute "where".
  7701 
  7702 * Attributes "where" and "of":
  7703   - Now take type variables of instantiated theorem into account when reading
  7704     the instantiation string.  This fixes a bug that caused instantiated
  7705     theorems to have too special types in some circumstances.
  7706   - "where" permits explicit instantiations of type variables.
  7707 
  7708 * Calculation commands "moreover" and "also" no longer interfere with
  7709   current facts ("this"), admitting arbitrary combinations with "then"
  7710   and derived forms.
  7711 
  7712 * Locales:
  7713   - Goal statements involving the context element "includes" no longer
  7714     generate theorems with internal delta predicates (those ending on
  7715     "_axioms") in the premise.
  7716     Resolve particular premise with <locale>.intro to obtain old form.
  7717   - Fixed bug in type inference ("unify_frozen") that prevented mix of target
  7718     specification and "includes" elements in goal statement.
  7719   - Rule sets <locale>.intro and <locale>.axioms no longer declared as
  7720     [intro?] and [elim?] (respectively) by default.
  7721   - Experimental command for instantiation of locales in proof contexts:
  7722         instantiate <label>[<attrs>]: <loc>
  7723     Instantiates locale <loc> and adds all its theorems to the current context
  7724     taking into account their attributes.  Label and attrs are optional
  7725     modifiers, like in theorem declarations.  If present, names of
  7726     instantiated theorems are qualified with <label>, and the attributes
  7727     <attrs> are applied after any attributes these theorems might have already.
  7728       If the locale has assumptions, a chained fact of the form
  7729     "<loc> t1 ... tn" is expected from which instantiations of the parameters
  7730     are derived.  The command does not support old-style locales declared
  7731     with "locale (open)".
  7732       A few (very simple) examples can be found in FOL/ex/LocaleInst.thy.
  7733 
  7734 * HOL: Tactic emulation methods induct_tac and case_tac understand static
  7735   (Isar) contexts.
  7736 
  7737 
  7738 *** HOL ***
  7739 
  7740 * Proof import: new image HOL4 contains the imported library from
  7741   the HOL4 system with about 2500 theorems. It is imported by
  7742   replaying proof terms produced by HOL4 in Isabelle. The HOL4 image
  7743   can be used like any other Isabelle image.  See
  7744   HOL/Import/HOL/README for more information.
  7745 
  7746 * Simplifier:
  7747   - Much improved handling of linear and partial orders.
  7748     Reasoners for linear and partial orders are set up for type classes
  7749     "linorder" and "order" respectively, and are added to the default simpset
  7750     as solvers.  This means that the simplifier can build transitivity chains
  7751     to solve goals from the assumptions.
  7752   - INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break occasionally.  Typically, applications
  7753     of blast or auto after simplification become unnecessary because the goal
  7754     is solved by simplification already.
  7755 
  7756 * Numerics: new theory Ring_and_Field contains over 250 basic numerical laws,
  7757     all proved in axiomatic type classes for semirings, rings and fields.
  7758 
  7759 * Numerics:
  7760   - Numeric types (nat, int, and in HOL-Complex rat, real, complex, etc.) are
  7761     now formalized using the Ring_and_Field theory mentioned above.
  7762   - INCOMPATIBILITY: simplification and arithmetic behaves somewhat differently
  7763     than before, because now they are set up once in a generic manner.
  7764   - INCOMPATIBILITY: many type-specific arithmetic laws have gone.
  7765     Look for the general versions in Ring_and_Field (and Power if they concern
  7766     exponentiation).
  7767 
  7768 * Type "rat" of the rational numbers is now available in HOL-Complex.
  7769 
  7770 * Records:
  7771   - Record types are now by default printed with their type abbreviation
  7772     instead of the list of all field types. This can be configured via
  7773     the reference "print_record_type_abbr".
  7774   - Simproc "record_upd_simproc" for simplification of multiple updates added
  7775     (not enabled by default).
  7776   - Simproc "record_ex_sel_eq_simproc" to simplify EX x. sel r = x resp.
  7777     EX x. x = sel r to True (not enabled by default).
  7778   - Tactic "record_split_simp_tac" to split and simplify records added.
  7779 
  7780 * 'specification' command added, allowing for definition by
  7781   specification.  There is also an 'ax_specification' command that
  7782   introduces the new constants axiomatically.
  7783 
  7784 * arith(_tac) is now able to generate counterexamples for reals as well.
  7785 
  7786 * HOL-Algebra: new locale "ring" for non-commutative rings.
  7787 
  7788 * HOL-ex: InductiveInvariant_examples illustrates advanced recursive function
  7789   definitions, thanks to Sava Krsti\'{c} and John Matthews.
  7790 
  7791 * HOL-Matrix: a first theory for matrices in HOL with an application of
  7792   matrix theory to linear programming.
  7793 
  7794 * Unions and Intersections:
  7795   The latex output syntax of UN and INT has been changed
  7796   from "\Union x \in A. B" to "\Union_{x \in A} B"
  7797   i.e. the index formulae has become a subscript.
  7798   Similarly for "\Union x. B", and for \Inter instead of \Union.
  7799 
  7800 * Unions and Intersections over Intervals:
  7801   There is new short syntax "UN i<=n. A" for "UN i:{0..n}. A". There is
  7802   also an x-symbol version with subscripts "\<Union>\<^bsub>i <= n\<^esub>. A"
  7803   like in normal math, and corresponding versions for < and for intersection.
  7804 
  7805 * HOL/List: Ordering "lexico" is renamed "lenlex" and the standard
  7806   lexicographic dictonary ordering has been added as "lexord".
  7807 
  7808 * ML: the legacy theory structures Int and List have been removed. They had
  7809   conflicted with ML Basis Library structures having the same names.
  7810 
  7811 * 'refute' command added to search for (finite) countermodels.  Only works
  7812   for a fragment of HOL.  The installation of an external SAT solver is
  7813   highly recommended.  See "HOL/Refute.thy" for details.
  7814 
  7815 * 'quickcheck' command: Allows to find counterexamples by evaluating
  7816   formulae under an assignment of free variables to random values.
  7817   In contrast to 'refute', it can deal with inductive datatypes,
  7818   but cannot handle quantifiers. See "HOL/ex/Quickcheck_Examples.thy"
  7819   for examples.
  7820 
  7821 
  7822 *** HOLCF ***
  7823 
  7824 * Streams now come with concatenation and are part of the HOLCF image
  7825 
  7826 
  7827 
  7828 New in Isabelle2003 (May 2003)
  7829 ------------------------------
  7830 
  7831 *** General ***
  7832 
  7833 * Provers/simplifier:
  7834 
  7835   - Completely reimplemented method simp (ML: Asm_full_simp_tac):
  7836     Assumptions are now subject to complete mutual simplification,
  7837     not just from left to right. The simplifier now preserves
  7838     the order of assumptions.
  7839 
  7840     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  7841 
  7842     -- simp sometimes diverges where the old version did
  7843        not, e.g. invoking simp on the goal
  7844 
  7845         [| P (f x); y = x; f x = f y |] ==> Q
  7846 
  7847        now gives rise to the infinite reduction sequence
  7848 
  7849         P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> P(f y) --(y = x)--> P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> ...
  7850 
  7851        Using "simp (asm_lr)" (ML: Asm_lr_simp_tac) instead often solves this
  7852        kind of problem.
  7853 
  7854     -- Tactics combining classical reasoner and simplification (such as auto)
  7855        are also affected by this change, because many of them rely on
  7856        simp. They may sometimes diverge as well or yield a different numbers
  7857        of subgoals. Try to use e.g. force, fastsimp, or safe instead of auto
  7858        in case of problems. Sometimes subsequent calls to the classical
  7859        reasoner will fail because a preceeding call to the simplifier too
  7860        eagerly simplified the goal, e.g. deleted redundant premises.
  7861 
  7862   - The simplifier trace now shows the names of the applied rewrite rules
  7863 
  7864   - You can limit the number of recursive invocations of the simplifier
  7865     during conditional rewriting (where the simplifie tries to solve the
  7866     conditions before applying the rewrite rule):
  7867     ML "simp_depth_limit := n"
  7868     where n is an integer. Thus you can force termination where previously
  7869     the simplifier would diverge.
  7870 
  7871   - Accepts free variables as head terms in congruence rules.  Useful in Isar.
  7872 
  7873   - No longer aborts on failed congruence proof.  Instead, the
  7874     congruence is ignored.
  7875 
  7876 * Pure: New generic framework for extracting programs from constructive
  7877   proofs. See HOL/Extraction.thy for an example instantiation, as well
  7878   as HOL/Extraction for some case studies.
  7879 
  7880 * Pure: The main goal of the proof state is no longer shown by default, only
  7881 the subgoals. This behaviour is controlled by a new flag.
  7882    PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Settings -> Show Main Goal
  7883 (ML: Proof.show_main_goal).
  7884 
  7885 * Pure: You can find all matching introduction rules for subgoal 1, i.e. all
  7886 rules whose conclusion matches subgoal 1:
  7887       PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Show me -> matching rules
  7888 The rules are ordered by how closely they match the subgoal.
  7889 In particular, rules that solve a subgoal outright are displayed first
  7890 (or rather last, the way they are printed).
  7891 (ML: ProofGeneral.print_intros())
  7892 
  7893 * Pure: New flag trace_unify_fail causes unification to print
  7894 diagnostic information (PG: in trace buffer) when it fails. This is
  7895 useful for figuring out why single step proofs like rule, erule or
  7896 assumption failed.
  7897 
  7898 * Pure: Locale specifications now produce predicate definitions
  7899 according to the body of text (covering assumptions modulo local
  7900 definitions); predicate "loc_axioms" covers newly introduced text,
  7901 while "loc" is cumulative wrt. all included locale expressions; the
  7902 latter view is presented only on export into the global theory
  7903 context; potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use "(open)" option to fall back
  7904 on the old view without predicates;
  7905 
  7906 * Pure: predefined locales "var" and "struct" are useful for sharing
  7907 parameters (as in CASL, for example); just specify something like
  7908 ``var x + var y + struct M'' as import;
  7909 
  7910 * Pure: improved thms_containing: proper indexing of facts instead of
  7911 raw theorems; check validity of results wrt. current name space;
  7912 include local facts of proof configuration (also covers active
  7913 locales), cover fixed variables in index; may use "_" in term
  7914 specification; an optional limit for the number of printed facts may
  7915 be given (the default is 40);
  7916 
  7917 * Pure: disallow duplicate fact bindings within new-style theory files
  7918 (batch-mode only);
  7919 
  7920 * Provers: improved induct method: assumptions introduced by case
  7921 "foo" are split into "foo.hyps" (from the rule) and "foo.prems" (from
  7922 the goal statement); "foo" still refers to all facts collectively;
  7923 
  7924 * Provers: the function blast.overloaded has been removed: all constants
  7925 are regarded as potentially overloaded, which improves robustness in exchange
  7926 for slight decrease in efficiency;
  7927 
  7928 * Provers/linorder: New generic prover for transitivity reasoning over
  7929 linear orders.  Note: this prover is not efficient!
  7930 
  7931 * Isar: preview of problems to finish 'show' now produce an error
  7932 rather than just a warning (in interactive mode);
  7933 
  7934 
  7935 *** HOL ***
  7936 
  7937 * arith(_tac)
  7938 
  7939  - Produces a counter example if it cannot prove a goal.
  7940    Note that the counter example may be spurious if the goal is not a formula
  7941    of quantifier-free linear arithmetic.
  7942    In ProofGeneral the counter example appears in the trace buffer.
  7943 
  7944  - Knows about div k and mod k where k is a numeral of type nat or int.
  7945 
  7946  - Calls full Presburger arithmetic (by Amine Chaieb) if quantifier-free
  7947    linear arithmetic fails. This takes account of quantifiers and divisibility.
  7948    Presburger arithmetic can also be called explicitly via presburger(_tac).
  7949 
  7950 * simp's arithmetic capabilities have been enhanced a bit: it now
  7951 takes ~= in premises into account (by performing a case split);
  7952 
  7953 * simp reduces "m*(n div m) + n mod m" to n, even if the two summands
  7954 are distributed over a sum of terms;
  7955 
  7956 * New tactic "trans_tac" and method "trans" instantiate
  7957 Provers/linorder.ML for axclasses "order" and "linorder" (predicates
  7958 "<=", "<" and "=").
  7959 
  7960 * function INCOMPATIBILITIES: Pi-sets have been redefined and moved from main
  7961 HOL to Library/FuncSet; constant "Fun.op o" is now called "Fun.comp";
  7962 
  7963 * 'typedef' command has new option "open" to suppress the set
  7964 definition;
  7965 
  7966 * functions Min and Max on finite sets have been introduced (theory
  7967 Finite_Set);
  7968 
  7969 * attribute [symmetric] now works for relations as well; it turns
  7970 (x,y) : R^-1 into (y,x) : R, and vice versa;
  7971 
  7972 * induct over a !!-quantified statement (say !!x1..xn):
  7973   each "case" automatically performs "fix x1 .. xn" with exactly those names.
  7974 
  7975 * Map: `empty' is no longer a constant but a syntactic abbreviation for
  7976 %x. None. Warning: empty_def now refers to the previously hidden definition
  7977 of the empty set.
  7978 
  7979 * Algebra: formalization of classical algebra.  Intended as base for
  7980 any algebraic development in Isabelle.  Currently covers group theory
  7981 (up to Sylow's theorem) and ring theory (Universal Property of
  7982 Univariate Polynomials).  Contributions welcome;
  7983 
  7984 * GroupTheory: deleted, since its material has been moved to Algebra;
  7985 
  7986 * Complex: new directory of the complex numbers with numeric constants,
  7987 nonstandard complex numbers, and some complex analysis, standard and
  7988 nonstandard (Jacques Fleuriot);
  7989 
  7990 * HOL-Complex: new image for analysis, replacing HOL-Real and HOL-Hyperreal;
  7991 
  7992 * Hyperreal: introduced Gauge integration and hyperreal logarithms (Jacques
  7993 Fleuriot);
  7994 
  7995 * Real/HahnBanach: updated and adapted to locales;
  7996 
  7997 * NumberTheory: added Gauss's law of quadratic reciprocity (by Avigad,
  7998 Gray and Kramer);
  7999 
  8000 * UNITY: added the Meier-Sanders theory of progress sets;
  8001 
  8002 * MicroJava: bytecode verifier and lightweight bytecode verifier
  8003 as abstract algorithms, instantiated to the JVM;
  8004 
  8005 * Bali: Java source language formalization. Type system, operational
  8006 semantics, axiomatic semantics. Supported language features:
  8007 classes, interfaces, objects,virtual methods, static methods,
  8008 static/instance fields, arrays, access modifiers, definite
  8009 assignment, exceptions.
  8010 
  8011 
  8012 *** ZF ***
  8013 
  8014 * ZF/Constructible: consistency proof for AC (Gdel's constructible
  8015 universe, etc.);
  8016 
  8017 * Main ZF: virtually all theories converted to new-style format;
  8018 
  8019 
  8020 *** ML ***
  8021 
  8022 * Pure: Tactic.prove provides sane interface for internal proofs;
  8023 omits the infamous "standard" operation, so this is more appropriate
  8024 than prove_goalw_cterm in many situations (e.g. in simprocs);
  8025 
  8026 * Pure: improved error reporting of simprocs;
  8027 
  8028 * Provers: Simplifier.simproc(_i) provides sane interface for setting
  8029 up simprocs;
  8030 
  8031 
  8032 *** Document preparation ***
  8033 
  8034 * uses \par instead of \\ for line breaks in theory text. This may
  8035 shift some page breaks in large documents. To get the old behaviour
  8036 use \renewcommand{\isanewline}{\mbox{}\\\mbox{}} in root.tex.
  8037 
  8038 * minimized dependencies of isabelle.sty and isabellesym.sty on
  8039 other packages
  8040 
  8041 * \<euro> now needs package babel/greek instead of marvosym (which
  8042 broke \Rightarrow)
  8043 
  8044 * normal size for \<zero>...\<nine> (uses \mathbf instead of
  8045 textcomp package)
  8046 
  8047 
  8048 
  8049 New in Isabelle2002 (March 2002)
  8050 --------------------------------
  8051 
  8052 *** Document preparation ***
  8053 
  8054 * greatly simplified document preparation setup, including more
  8055 graceful interpretation of isatool usedir -i/-d/-D options, and more
  8056 instructive isatool mkdir; users should basically be able to get
  8057 started with "isatool mkdir HOL Test && isatool make"; alternatively,
  8058 users may run a separate document processing stage manually like this:
  8059 "isatool usedir -D output HOL Test && isatool document Test/output";
  8060 
  8061 * theory dependency graph may now be incorporated into documents;
  8062 isatool usedir -g true will produce session_graph.eps/.pdf for use
  8063 with \includegraphics of LaTeX;
  8064 
  8065 * proper spacing of consecutive markup elements, especially text
  8066 blocks after section headings;
  8067 
  8068 * support bold style (for single symbols only), input syntax is like
  8069 this: "\<^bold>\<alpha>" or "\<^bold>A";
  8070 
  8071 * \<bullet> is now output as bold \cdot by default, which looks much
  8072 better in printed text;
  8073 
  8074 * added default LaTeX bindings for \<tturnstile> and \<TTurnstile>;
  8075 note that these symbols are currently unavailable in Proof General /
  8076 X-Symbol; new symbols \<zero>, \<one>, ..., \<nine>, and \<euro>;
  8077 
  8078 * isatool latex no longer depends on changed TEXINPUTS, instead
  8079 isatool document copies the Isabelle style files to the target
  8080 location;
  8081 
  8082 
  8083 *** Isar ***
  8084 
  8085 * Pure/Provers: improved proof by cases and induction;
  8086   - 'case' command admits impromptu naming of parameters (such as
  8087     "case (Suc n)");
  8088   - 'induct' method divinates rule instantiation from the inductive
  8089     claim; no longer requires excessive ?P bindings for proper
  8090     instantiation of cases;
  8091   - 'induct' method properly enumerates all possibilities of set/type
  8092     rules; as a consequence facts may be also passed through *type*
  8093     rules without further ado;
  8094   - 'induct' method now derives symbolic cases from the *rulified*
  8095     rule (before it used to rulify cases stemming from the internal
  8096     atomized version); this means that the context of a non-atomic
  8097     statement becomes is included in the hypothesis, avoiding the
  8098     slightly cumbersome show "PROP ?case" form;
  8099   - 'induct' may now use elim-style induction rules without chaining
  8100     facts, using ``missing'' premises from the goal state; this allows
  8101     rules stemming from inductive sets to be applied in unstructured
  8102     scripts, while still benefitting from proper handling of non-atomic
  8103     statements; NB: major inductive premises need to be put first, all
  8104     the rest of the goal is passed through the induction;
  8105   - 'induct' proper support for mutual induction involving non-atomic
  8106     rule statements (uses the new concept of simultaneous goals, see
  8107     below);
  8108   - append all possible rule selections, but only use the first
  8109     success (no backtracking);
  8110   - removed obsolete "(simplified)" and "(stripped)" options of methods;
  8111   - undeclared rule case names default to numbers 1, 2, 3, ...;
  8112   - added 'print_induct_rules' (covered by help item in recent Proof
  8113     General versions);
  8114   - moved induct/cases attributes to Pure, methods to Provers;
  8115   - generic method setup instantiated for FOL and HOL;
  8116 
  8117 * Pure: support multiple simultaneous goal statements, for example
  8118 "have a: A and b: B" (same for 'theorem' etc.); being a pure
  8119 meta-level mechanism, this acts as if several individual goals had
  8120 been stated separately; in particular common proof methods need to be
  8121 repeated in order to cover all claims; note that a single elimination
  8122 step is *not* sufficient to establish the two conjunctions, so this
  8123 fails:
  8124 
  8125   assume "A & B" then have A and B ..   (*".." fails*)
  8126 
  8127 better use "obtain" in situations as above; alternative refer to
  8128 multi-step methods like 'auto', 'simp_all', 'blast+' etc.;
  8129 
  8130 * Pure: proper integration with ``locales''; unlike the original
  8131 version by Florian Kammller, Isar locales package high-level proof
  8132 contexts rather than raw logical ones (e.g. we admit to include
  8133 attributes everywhere); operations on locales include merge and
  8134 rename; support for implicit arguments (``structures''); simultaneous
  8135 type-inference over imports and text; see also HOL/ex/Locales.thy for
  8136 some examples;
  8137 
  8138 * Pure: the following commands have been ``localized'', supporting a
  8139 target locale specification "(in name)": 'lemma', 'theorem',
  8140 'corollary', 'lemmas', 'theorems', 'declare'; the results will be
  8141 stored both within the locale and at the theory level (exported and
  8142 qualified by the locale name);
  8143 
  8144 * Pure: theory goals may now be specified in ``long'' form, with
  8145 ad-hoc contexts consisting of arbitrary locale elements. for example
  8146 ``lemma foo: fixes x assumes "A x" shows "B x"'' (local syntax and
  8147 definitions may be given, too); the result is a meta-level rule with
  8148 the context elements being discharged in the obvious way;
  8149 
  8150 * Pure: new proof command 'using' allows to augment currently used
  8151 facts after a goal statement ('using' is syntactically analogous to
  8152 'apply', but acts on the goal's facts only); this allows chained facts
  8153 to be separated into parts given before and after a claim, as in
  8154 ``from a and b have C using d and e <proof>'';
  8155 
  8156 * Pure: renamed "antecedent" case to "rule_context";
  8157 
  8158 * Pure: new 'judgment' command records explicit information about the
  8159 object-logic embedding (used by several tools internally); no longer
  8160 use hard-wired "Trueprop";
  8161 
  8162 * Pure: added 'corollary' command;
  8163 
  8164 * Pure: fixed 'token_translation' command;
  8165 
  8166 * Pure: removed obsolete 'exported' attribute;
  8167 
  8168 * Pure: dummy pattern "_" in is/let is now automatically lifted over
  8169 bound variables: "ALL x. P x --> Q x" (is "ALL x. _ --> ?C x")
  8170 supersedes more cumbersome ... (is "ALL x. _ x --> ?C x");
  8171 
  8172 * Pure: method 'atomize' presents local goal premises as object-level
  8173 statements (atomic meta-level propositions); setup controlled via
  8174 rewrite rules declarations of 'atomize' attribute; example
  8175 application: 'induct' method with proper rule statements in improper
  8176 proof *scripts*;
  8177 
  8178 * Pure: emulation of instantiation tactics (rule_tac, cut_tac, etc.)
  8179 now consider the syntactic context of assumptions, giving a better
  8180 chance to get type-inference of the arguments right (this is
  8181 especially important for locales);
  8182 
  8183 * Pure: "sorry" no longer requires quick_and_dirty in interactive
  8184 mode;
  8185 
  8186 * Pure/obtain: the formal conclusion "thesis", being marked as
  8187 ``internal'', may no longer be reference directly in the text;
  8188 potential INCOMPATIBILITY, may need to use "?thesis" in rare
  8189 situations;
  8190 
  8191 * Pure: generic 'sym' attribute which declares a rule both as pure
  8192 'elim?' and for the 'symmetric' operation;
  8193 
  8194 * Pure: marginal comments ``--'' may now occur just anywhere in the
  8195 text; the fixed correlation with particular command syntax has been
  8196 discontinued;
  8197 
  8198 * Pure: new method 'rules' is particularly well-suited for proof
  8199 search in intuitionistic logic; a bit slower than 'blast' or 'fast',
  8200 but often produces more compact proof terms with less detours;
  8201 
  8202 * Pure/Provers/classical: simplified integration with pure rule
  8203 attributes and methods; the classical "intro?/elim?/dest?"
  8204 declarations coincide with the pure ones; the "rule" method no longer
  8205 includes classically swapped intros; "intro" and "elim" methods no
  8206 longer pick rules from the context; also got rid of ML declarations
  8207 AddXIs/AddXEs/AddXDs; all of this has some potential for
  8208 INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8209 
  8210 * Provers/classical: attribute 'swapped' produces classical inversions
  8211 of introduction rules;
  8212 
  8213 * Provers/simplifier: 'simplified' attribute may refer to explicit
  8214 rules instead of full simplifier context; 'iff' attribute handles
  8215 conditional rules;
  8216 
  8217 * HOL: 'typedef' now allows alternative names for Rep/Abs morphisms;
  8218 
  8219 * HOL: 'recdef' now fails on unfinished automated proofs, use
  8220 "(permissive)" option to recover old behavior;
  8221 
  8222 * HOL: 'inductive' no longer features separate (collective) attributes
  8223 for 'intros' (was found too confusing);
  8224 
  8225 * HOL: properly declared induction rules less_induct and
  8226 wf_induct_rule;
  8227 
  8228 
  8229 *** HOL ***
  8230 
  8231 * HOL: moved over to sane numeral syntax; the new policy is as
  8232 follows:
  8233 
  8234   - 0 and 1 are polymorphic constants, which are defined on any
  8235   numeric type (nat, int, real etc.);
  8236 
  8237   - 2, 3, 4, ... and -1, -2, -3, ... are polymorphic numerals, based
  8238   binary representation internally;
  8239 
  8240   - type nat has special constructor Suc, and generally prefers Suc 0
  8241   over 1::nat and Suc (Suc 0) over 2::nat;
  8242 
  8243 This change may cause significant problems of INCOMPATIBILITY; here
  8244 are some hints on converting existing sources:
  8245 
  8246   - due to the new "num" token, "-0" and "-1" etc. are now atomic
  8247   entities, so expressions involving "-" (unary or binary minus) need
  8248   to be spaced properly;
  8249 
  8250   - existing occurrences of "1" may need to be constraint "1::nat" or
  8251   even replaced by Suc 0; similar for old "2";
  8252 
  8253   - replace "#nnn" by "nnn", and "#-nnn" by "-nnn";
  8254 
  8255   - remove all special provisions on numerals in proofs;
  8256 
  8257 * HOL: simp rules nat_number expand numerals on nat to Suc/0
  8258 representation (depends on bin_arith_simps in the default context);
  8259 
  8260 * HOL: symbolic syntax for x^2 (numeral 2);
  8261 
  8262 * HOL: the class of all HOL types is now called "type" rather than
  8263 "term"; INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt references to this type class
  8264 in axclass/classes, instance/arities, and (usually rare) occurrences
  8265 in typings (of consts etc.); internally the class is called
  8266 "HOL.type", ML programs should refer to HOLogic.typeS;
  8267 
  8268 * HOL/record package improvements:
  8269   - new derived operations "fields" to build a partial record section,
  8270     "extend" to promote a fixed record to a record scheme, and
  8271     "truncate" for the reverse; cf. theorems "xxx.defs", which are *not*
  8272     declared as simp by default;
  8273   - shared operations ("more", "fields", etc.) now need to be always
  8274     qualified) --- potential INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8275   - removed "make_scheme" operations (use "make" with "extend") --
  8276     INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8277   - removed "more" class (simply use "term") -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8278   - provides cases/induct rules for use with corresponding Isar
  8279     methods (for concrete records, record schemes, concrete more
  8280     parts, and schematic more parts -- in that order);
  8281   - internal definitions directly based on a light-weight abstract
  8282     theory of product types over typedef rather than datatype;
  8283 
  8284 * HOL: generic code generator for generating executable ML code from
  8285 specifications; specific support for HOL constructs such as inductive
  8286 datatypes and sets, as well as recursive functions; can be invoked
  8287 via 'generate_code' theory section;
  8288 
  8289 * HOL: canonical cases/induct rules for n-tuples (n = 3..7);
  8290 
  8291 * HOL: consolidated and renamed several theories.  In particular:
  8292         Ord.thy has been absorbed into HOL.thy
  8293         String.thy has been absorbed into List.thy
  8294 
  8295 * HOL: concrete setsum syntax "\<Sum>i:A. b" == "setsum (%i. b) A"
  8296 (beware of argument permutation!);
  8297 
  8298 * HOL: linorder_less_split superseded by linorder_cases;
  8299 
  8300 * HOL/List: "nodups" renamed to "distinct";
  8301 
  8302 * HOL: added "The" definite description operator; move Hilbert's "Eps"
  8303 to peripheral theory "Hilbert_Choice"; some INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  8304   - Ex_def has changed, now need to use some_eq_ex
  8305 
  8306 * HOL: made split_all_tac safe; EXISTING PROOFS MAY FAIL OR LOOP, so
  8307 in this (rare) case use:
  8308 
  8309   delSWrapper "split_all_tac"
  8310   addSbefore ("unsafe_split_all_tac", unsafe_split_all_tac)
  8311 
  8312 * HOL: added safe wrapper "split_conv_tac" to claset; EXISTING PROOFS
  8313 MAY FAIL;
  8314 
  8315 * HOL: introduced f^n = f o ... o f; warning: due to the limits of
  8316 Isabelle's type classes, ^ on functions and relations has too general
  8317 a domain, namely ('a * 'b) set and 'a => 'b; this means that it may be
  8318 necessary to attach explicit type constraints;
  8319 
  8320 * HOL/Relation: the prefix name of the infix "O" has been changed from
  8321 "comp" to "rel_comp"; INCOMPATIBILITY: a few theorems have been
  8322 renamed accordingly (eg "compI" -> "rel_compI").
  8323 
  8324 * HOL: syntax translations now work properly with numerals and records
  8325 expressions;
  8326 
  8327 * HOL: bounded abstraction now uses syntax "%" / "\<lambda>" instead
  8328 of "lam" -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8329 
  8330 * HOL: got rid of some global declarations (potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  8331 for ML tools): const "()" renamed "Product_Type.Unity", type "unit"
  8332 renamed "Product_Type.unit";
  8333 
  8334 * HOL: renamed rtrancl_into_rtrancl2 to converse_rtrancl_into_rtrancl
  8335 
  8336 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem "optionE" (use "option.exhaust", or
  8337 the "cases" method);
  8338 
  8339 * HOL/GroupTheory: group theory examples including Sylow's theorem (by
  8340 Florian Kammller);
  8341 
  8342 * HOL/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory format; several
  8343 parts turned into readable document, with proper Isar proof texts and
  8344 some explanations (by Gerwin Klein);
  8345 
  8346 * HOL-Real: added Complex_Numbers (by Gertrud Bauer);
  8347 
  8348 * HOL-Hyperreal is now a logic image;
  8349 
  8350 
  8351 *** HOLCF ***
  8352 
  8353 * Isar: consts/constdefs supports mixfix syntax for continuous
  8354 operations;
  8355 
  8356 * Isar: domain package adapted to new-style theory format, e.g. see
  8357 HOLCF/ex/Dnat.thy;
  8358 
  8359 * theory Lift: proper use of rep_datatype lift instead of ML hacks --
  8360 potential INCOMPATIBILITY; now use plain induct_tac instead of former
  8361 lift.induct_tac, always use UU instead of Undef;
  8362 
  8363 * HOLCF/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory;
  8364 
  8365 
  8366 *** ZF ***
  8367 
  8368 * Isar: proper integration of logic-specific tools and packages,
  8369 including theory commands '(co)inductive', '(co)datatype',
  8370 'rep_datatype', 'inductive_cases', as well as methods 'ind_cases',
  8371 'induct_tac', 'case_tac', and 'typecheck' (with attribute 'TC');
  8372 
  8373 * theory Main no longer includes AC; for the Axiom of Choice, base
  8374 your theory on Main_ZFC;
  8375 
  8376 * the integer library now covers quotients and remainders, with many
  8377 laws relating division to addition, multiplication, etc.;
  8378 
  8379 * ZF/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY is now available in ZF, giving a
  8380 typeless version of the formalism;
  8381 
  8382 * ZF/AC, Coind, IMP, Resid: updated and converted to new-style theory
  8383 format;
  8384 
  8385 * ZF/Induct: new directory for examples of inductive definitions,
  8386 including theory Multiset for multiset orderings; converted to
  8387 new-style theory format;
  8388 
  8389 * ZF: many new theorems about lists, ordinals, etc.;
  8390 
  8391 
  8392 *** General ***
  8393 
  8394 * Pure/kernel: meta-level proof terms (by Stefan Berghofer); reference
  8395 variable proof controls level of detail: 0 = no proofs (only oracle
  8396 dependencies), 1 = lemma dependencies, 2 = compact proof terms; see
  8397 also ref manual for further ML interfaces;
  8398 
  8399 * Pure/axclass: removed obsolete ML interface
  8400 goal_subclass/goal_arity;
  8401 
  8402 * Pure/syntax: new token syntax "num" for plain numerals (without "#"
  8403 of "xnum"); potential INCOMPATIBILITY, since -0, -1 etc. are now
  8404 separate tokens, so expressions involving minus need to be spaced
  8405 properly;
  8406 
  8407 * Pure/syntax: support non-oriented infixes, using keyword "infix"
  8408 rather than "infixl" or "infixr";
  8409 
  8410 * Pure/syntax: concrete syntax for dummy type variables admits genuine
  8411 sort constraint specifications in type inference; e.g. "x::_::foo"
  8412 ensures that the type of "x" is of sort "foo" (but not necessarily a
  8413 type variable);
  8414 
  8415 * Pure/syntax: print modes "type_brackets" and "no_type_brackets"
  8416 control output of nested => (types); the default behavior is
  8417 "type_brackets";
  8418 
  8419 * Pure/syntax: builtin parse translation for "_constify" turns valued
  8420 tokens into AST constants;
  8421 
  8422 * Pure/syntax: prefer later declarations of translations and print
  8423 translation functions; potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to reverse
  8424 multiple declarations for same syntax element constant;
  8425 
  8426 * Pure/show_hyps reset by default (in accordance to existing Isar
  8427 practice);
  8428 
  8429 * Provers/classical: renamed addaltern to addafter, addSaltern to
  8430 addSafter;
  8431 
  8432 * Provers/clasimp: ``iff'' declarations now handle conditional rules
  8433 as well;
  8434 
  8435 * system: tested support for MacOS X; should be able to get Isabelle +
  8436 Proof General to work in a plain Terminal after installing Poly/ML
  8437 (e.g. from the Isabelle distribution area) and GNU bash alone
  8438 (e.g. from http://www.apple.com); full X11, XEmacs and X-Symbol
  8439 support requires further installations, e.g. from
  8440 http://fink.sourceforge.net/);
  8441 
  8442 * system: support Poly/ML 4.1.1 (able to manage larger heaps);
  8443 
  8444 * system: reduced base memory usage by Poly/ML (approx. 20 MB instead
  8445 of 40 MB), cf. ML_OPTIONS;
  8446 
  8447 * system: Proof General keywords specification is now part of the
  8448 Isabelle distribution (see etc/isar-keywords.el);
  8449 
  8450 * system: support for persistent Proof General sessions (refrain from
  8451 outdating all loaded theories on startup); user may create writable
  8452 logic images like this: ``isabelle -q HOL Test'';
  8453 
  8454 * system: smart selection of Isabelle process versus Isabelle
  8455 interface, accommodates case-insensitive file systems (e.g. HFS+); may
  8456 run both "isabelle" and "Isabelle" even if file names are badly
  8457 damaged (executable inspects the case of the first letter of its own
  8458 name); added separate "isabelle-process" and "isabelle-interface";
  8459 
  8460 * system: refrain from any attempt at filtering input streams; no
  8461 longer support ``8bit'' encoding of old isabelle font, instead proper
  8462 iso-latin characters may now be used; the related isatools
  8463 "symbolinput" and "nonascii" have disappeared as well;
  8464 
  8465 * system: removed old "xterm" interface (the print modes "xterm" and
  8466 "xterm_color" are still available for direct use in a suitable
  8467 terminal);
  8468 
  8469 
  8470 
  8471 New in Isabelle99-2 (February 2001)
  8472 -----------------------------------
  8473 
  8474 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  8475 
  8476 * HOL: please note that theories in the Library and elsewhere often use the
  8477 new-style (Isar) format; to refer to their theorems in an ML script you must
  8478 bind them to ML identifers by e.g.      val thm_name = thm "thm_name";
  8479 
  8480 * HOL: inductive package no longer splits induction rule aggressively,
  8481 but only as far as specified by the introductions given; the old
  8482 format may be recovered via ML function complete_split_rule or attribute
  8483 'split_rule (complete)';
  8484 
  8485 * HOL: induct renamed to lfp_induct, lfp_Tarski to lfp_unfold,
  8486 gfp_Tarski to gfp_unfold;
  8487 
  8488 * HOL: contrapos, contrapos2 renamed to contrapos_nn, contrapos_pp;
  8489 
  8490 * HOL: infix "dvd" now has priority 50 rather than 70 (because it is a
  8491 relation); infix "^^" has been renamed "``"; infix "``" has been
  8492 renamed "`"; "univalent" has been renamed "single_valued";
  8493 
  8494 * HOL/Real: "rinv" and "hrinv" replaced by overloaded "inverse"
  8495 operation;
  8496 
  8497 * HOLCF: infix "`" has been renamed "$"; the symbol syntax is \<cdot>;
  8498 
  8499 * Isar: 'obtain' no longer declares "that" fact as simp/intro;
  8500 
  8501 * Isar/HOL: method 'induct' now handles non-atomic goals; as a
  8502 consequence, it is no longer monotonic wrt. the local goal context
  8503 (which is now passed through the inductive cases);
  8504 
  8505 * Document preparation: renamed standard symbols \<ll> to \<lless> and
  8506 \<gg> to \<ggreater>;
  8507 
  8508 
  8509 *** Document preparation ***
  8510 
  8511 * \isabellestyle{NAME} selects version of Isabelle output (currently
  8512 available: are "it" for near math-mode best-style output, "sl" for
  8513 slanted text style, and "tt" for plain type-writer; if no
  8514 \isabellestyle command is given, output is according to slanted
  8515 type-writer);
  8516 
  8517 * support sub/super scripts (for single symbols only), input syntax is
  8518 like this: "A\<^sup>*" or "A\<^sup>\<star>";
  8519 
  8520 * some more standard symbols; see Appendix A of the system manual for
  8521 the complete list of symbols defined in isabellesym.sty;
  8522 
  8523 * improved isabelle style files; more abstract symbol implementation
  8524 (should now use \isamath{...} and \isatext{...} in custom symbol
  8525 definitions);
  8526 
  8527 * antiquotation @{goals} and @{subgoals} for output of *dynamic* goals
  8528 state; Note that presentation of goal states does not conform to
  8529 actual human-readable proof documents.  Please do not include goal
  8530 states into document output unless you really know what you are doing!
  8531 
  8532 * proper indentation of antiquoted output with proportional LaTeX
  8533 fonts;
  8534 
  8535 * no_document ML operator temporarily disables LaTeX document
  8536 generation;
  8537 
  8538 * isatool unsymbolize tunes sources for plain ASCII communication;
  8539 
  8540 
  8541 *** Isar ***
  8542 
  8543 * Pure: Isar now suffers initial goal statements to contain unbound
  8544 schematic variables (this does not conform to actual readable proof
  8545 documents, due to unpredictable outcome and non-compositional proof
  8546 checking); users who know what they are doing may use schematic goals
  8547 for Prolog-style synthesis of proven results;
  8548 
  8549 * Pure: assumption method (an implicit finishing) now handles actual
  8550 rules as well;
  8551 
  8552 * Pure: improved 'obtain' --- moved to Pure, insert "that" into
  8553 initial goal, declare "that" only as Pure intro (only for single
  8554 steps); the "that" rule assumption may now be involved in implicit
  8555 finishing, thus ".." becomes a feasible for trivial obtains;
  8556 
  8557 * Pure: default proof step now includes 'intro_classes'; thus trivial
  8558 instance proofs may be performed by "..";
  8559 
  8560 * Pure: ?thesis / ?this / "..." now work for pure meta-level
  8561 statements as well;
  8562 
  8563 * Pure: more robust selection of calculational rules;
  8564 
  8565 * Pure: the builtin notion of 'finished' goal now includes the ==-refl
  8566 rule (as well as the assumption rule);
  8567 
  8568 * Pure: 'thm_deps' command visualizes dependencies of theorems and
  8569 lemmas, using the graph browser tool;
  8570 
  8571 * Pure: predict failure of "show" in interactive mode;
  8572 
  8573 * Pure: 'thms_containing' now takes actual terms as arguments;
  8574 
  8575 * HOL: improved method 'induct' --- now handles non-atomic goals
  8576 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY); tuned error handling;
  8577 
  8578 * HOL: cases and induct rules now provide explicit hints about the
  8579 number of facts to be consumed (0 for "type" and 1 for "set" rules);
  8580 any remaining facts are inserted into the goal verbatim;
  8581 
  8582 * HOL: local contexts (aka cases) may now contain term bindings as
  8583 well; the 'cases' and 'induct' methods new provide a ?case binding for
  8584 the result to be shown in each case;
  8585 
  8586 * HOL: added 'recdef_tc' command;
  8587 
  8588 * isatool convert assists in eliminating legacy ML scripts;
  8589 
  8590 
  8591 *** HOL ***
  8592 
  8593 * HOL/Library: a collection of generic theories to be used together
  8594 with main HOL; the theory loader path already includes this directory
  8595 by default; the following existing theories have been moved here:
  8596 HOL/Induct/Multiset, HOL/Induct/Acc (as Accessible_Part), HOL/While
  8597 (as While_Combinator), HOL/Lex/Prefix (as List_Prefix);
  8598 
  8599 * HOL/Unix: "Some aspects of Unix file-system security", a typical
  8600 modelling and verification task performed in Isabelle/HOL +
  8601 Isabelle/Isar + Isabelle document preparation (by Markus Wenzel).
  8602 
  8603 * HOL/Algebra: special summation operator SUM no longer exists, it has
  8604 been replaced by setsum; infix 'assoc' now has priority 50 (like
  8605 'dvd'); axiom 'one_not_zero' has been moved from axclass 'ring' to
  8606 'domain', this makes the theory consistent with mathematical
  8607 literature;
  8608 
  8609 * HOL basics: added overloaded operations "inverse" and "divide"
  8610 (infix "/"), syntax for generic "abs" operation, generic summation
  8611 operator \<Sum>;
  8612 
  8613 * HOL/typedef: simplified package, provide more useful rules (see also
  8614 HOL/subset.thy);
  8615 
  8616 * HOL/datatype: induction rule for arbitrarily branching datatypes is
  8617 now expressed as a proper nested rule (old-style tactic scripts may
  8618 require atomize_strip_tac to cope with non-atomic premises);
  8619 
  8620 * HOL: renamed theory "Prod" to "Product_Type", renamed "split" rule
  8621 to "split_conv" (old name still available for compatibility);
  8622 
  8623 * HOL: improved concrete syntax for strings (e.g. allows translation
  8624 rules with string literals);
  8625 
  8626 * HOL-Real-Hyperreal: this extends HOL-Real with the hyperreals
  8627  and Fleuriot's mechanization of analysis, including the transcendental
  8628  functions for the reals;
  8629 
  8630 * HOL/Real, HOL/Hyperreal: improved arithmetic simplification;
  8631 
  8632 
  8633 *** CTT ***
  8634 
  8635 * CTT: x-symbol support for Pi, Sigma, -->, : (membership); note that
  8636 "lam" is displayed as TWO lambda-symbols
  8637 
  8638 * CTT: theory Main now available, containing everything (that is, Bool
  8639 and Arith);
  8640 
  8641 
  8642 *** General ***
  8643 
  8644 * Pure: the Simplifier has been implemented properly as a derived rule
  8645 outside of the actual kernel (at last!); the overall performance
  8646 penalty in practical applications is about 50%, while reliability of
  8647 the Isabelle inference kernel has been greatly improved;
  8648 
  8649 * print modes "brackets" and "no_brackets" control output of nested =>
  8650 (types) and ==> (props); the default behaviour is "brackets";
  8651 
  8652 * Provers: fast_tac (and friends) now handle actual object-logic rules
  8653 as assumptions as well;
  8654 
  8655 * system: support Poly/ML 4.0;
  8656 
  8657 * system: isatool install handles KDE version 1 or 2;
  8658 
  8659 
  8660 
  8661 New in Isabelle99-1 (October 2000)
  8662 ----------------------------------
  8663 
  8664 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  8665 
  8666 * HOL: simplification of natural numbers is much changed; to partly
  8667 recover the old behaviour (e.g. to prevent n+n rewriting to #2*n)
  8668 issue the following ML commands:
  8669 
  8670   Delsimprocs Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.cancel_numerals;
  8671   Delsimprocs [Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.combine_numerals];
  8672 
  8673 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions; this is
  8674 controlled by "t.weak_case_cong" for each datatype t;
  8675 
  8676 * HOL: nat_less_induct renamed to less_induct;
  8677 
  8678 * HOL: systematic renaming of the SOME (Eps) rules, may use isatool
  8679 fixsome to patch .thy and .ML sources automatically;
  8680 
  8681   select_equality  -> some_equality
  8682   select_eq_Ex     -> some_eq_ex
  8683   selectI2EX       -> someI2_ex
  8684   selectI2         -> someI2
  8685   selectI          -> someI
  8686   select1_equality -> some1_equality
  8687   Eps_sym_eq       -> some_sym_eq_trivial
  8688   Eps_eq           -> some_eq_trivial
  8689 
  8690 * HOL: exhaust_tac on datatypes superceded by new generic case_tac;
  8691 
  8692 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem binding expand_if (refer to split_if
  8693 instead);
  8694 
  8695 * HOL: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' are now called
  8696 f.simps instead of f.rules;
  8697 
  8698 * HOL: qed_spec_mp now also handles bounded ALL as well;
  8699 
  8700 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded, so the type constraint ":: nat" may
  8701 sometimes be needed;
  8702 
  8703 * HOL: the constant for "f``x" is now "image" rather than "op ``";
  8704 
  8705 * HOL: the constant for "f-``x" is now "vimage" rather than "op -``";
  8706 
  8707 * HOL: the disjoint sum is now "<+>" instead of "Plus"; the cartesian
  8708 product is now "<*>" instead of "Times"; the lexicographic product is
  8709 now "<*lex*>" instead of "**";
  8710 
  8711 * HOL: theory Sexp is now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part
  8712 of main HOL, but was unused); better use HOL's datatype package;
  8713 
  8714 * HOL: removed "symbols" syntax for constant "override" of theory Map;
  8715 the old syntax may be recovered as follows:
  8716 
  8717   syntax (symbols)
  8718     override  :: "('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b)"
  8719       (infixl "\\<oplus>" 100)
  8720 
  8721 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
  8722 
  8723 * HOL/ML: even fewer consts are declared as global (see theories Ord,
  8724 Lfp, Gfp, WF); this only affects ML packages that refer to const names
  8725 internally;
  8726 
  8727 * HOL and ZF: syntax for quotienting wrt an equivalence relation
  8728 changed from A/r to A//r;
  8729 
  8730 * ZF: new treatment of arithmetic (nat & int) may break some old
  8731 proofs;
  8732 
  8733 * Isar: renamed some attributes (RS -> THEN, simplify -> simplified,
  8734 rulify -> rule_format, elimify -> elim_format, ...);
  8735 
  8736 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
  8737 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (in most cases, one
  8738 should have to change intro!! to intro? only); replaced "delrule" by
  8739 "rule del";
  8740 
  8741 * Isar/HOL: renamed "intrs" to "intros" in inductive definitions;
  8742 
  8743 * Provers: strengthened force_tac by using new first_best_tac;
  8744 
  8745 * LaTeX document preparation: several changes of isabelle.sty (see
  8746 lib/texinputs);
  8747 
  8748 
  8749 *** Document preparation ***
  8750 
  8751 * formal comments (text blocks etc.) in new-style theories may now
  8752 contain antiquotations of thm/prop/term/typ/text to be presented
  8753 according to latex print mode; concrete syntax is like this:
  8754 @{term[show_types] "f(x) = a + x"};
  8755 
  8756 * isatool mkdir provides easy setup of Isabelle session directories,
  8757 including proper document sources;
  8758 
  8759 * generated LaTeX sources are now deleted after successful run
  8760 (isatool document -c); may retain a copy somewhere else via -D option
  8761 of isatool usedir;
  8762 
  8763 * isatool usedir -D now lets isatool latex -o sty update the Isabelle
  8764 style files, achieving self-contained LaTeX sources and simplifying
  8765 LaTeX debugging;
  8766 
  8767 * old-style theories now produce (crude) LaTeX output as well;
  8768 
  8769 * browser info session directories are now self-contained (may be put
  8770 on WWW server seperately); improved graphs of nested sessions; removed
  8771 graph for 'all sessions';
  8772 
  8773 * several improvements in isabelle style files; \isabellestyle{it}
  8774 produces fake math mode output; \isamarkupheader is now \section by
  8775 default; see lib/texinputs/isabelle.sty etc.;
  8776 
  8777 
  8778 *** Isar ***
  8779 
  8780 * Isar/Pure: local results and corresponding term bindings are now
  8781 subject to Hindley-Milner polymorphism (similar to ML); this
  8782 accommodates incremental type-inference very nicely;
  8783 
  8784 * Isar/Pure: new derived language element 'obtain' supports
  8785 generalized existence reasoning;
  8786 
  8787 * Isar/Pure: new calculational elements 'moreover' and 'ultimately'
  8788 support accumulation of results, without applying any rules yet;
  8789 useful to collect intermediate results without explicit name
  8790 references, and for use with transitivity rules with more than 2
  8791 premises;
  8792 
  8793 * Isar/Pure: scalable support for case-analysis type proofs: new
  8794 'case' language element refers to local contexts symbolically, as
  8795 produced by certain proof methods; internally, case names are attached
  8796 to theorems as "tags";
  8797 
  8798 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'hide' removes declarations from
  8799 class/type/const name spaces;
  8800 
  8801 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'defs' supports option "(overloaded)" to
  8802 indicate potential overloading;
  8803 
  8804 * Isar/Pure: changed syntax of local blocks from {{ }} to { };
  8805 
  8806 * Isar/Pure: syntax of sorts made 'inner', i.e. have to write
  8807 "{a,b,c}" instead of {a,b,c};
  8808 
  8809 * Isar/Pure now provides its own version of intro/elim/dest
  8810 attributes; useful for building new logics, but beware of confusion
  8811 with the version in Provers/classical;
  8812 
  8813 * Isar/Pure: the local context of (non-atomic) goals is provided via
  8814 case name 'antecedent';
  8815 
  8816 * Isar/Pure: removed obsolete 'transfer' attribute (transfer of thms
  8817 to the current context is now done automatically);
  8818 
  8819 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'method_setup' provides a simple interface
  8820 for definining proof methods in ML;
  8821 
  8822 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
  8823 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  8824 most cases, one should have to change intro!! to intro? only);
  8825 replaced "delrule" by "rule del";
  8826 
  8827 * Isar/Provers: new 'hypsubst' method, plain 'subst' method and
  8828 'symmetric' attribute (the latter supercedes [RS sym]);
  8829 
  8830 * Isar/Provers: splitter support (via 'split' attribute and 'simp'
  8831 method modifier); 'simp' method: 'only:' modifier removes loopers as
  8832 well (including splits);
  8833 
  8834 * Isar/Provers: Simplifier and Classical methods now support all kind
  8835 of modifiers used in the past, including 'cong', 'iff', etc.
  8836 
  8837 * Isar/Provers: added 'fastsimp' and 'clarsimp' methods (combination
  8838 of Simplifier and Classical reasoner);
  8839 
  8840 * Isar/HOL: new proof method 'cases' and improved version of 'induct'
  8841 now support named cases; major packages (inductive, datatype, primrec,
  8842 recdef) support case names and properly name parameters;
  8843 
  8844 * Isar/HOL: new transitivity rules for substitution in inequalities --
  8845 monotonicity conditions are extracted to be proven at end of
  8846 calculations;
  8847 
  8848 * Isar/HOL: removed 'case_split' thm binding, should use 'cases' proof
  8849 method anyway;
  8850 
  8851 * Isar/HOL: removed old expand_if = split_if; theorems if_splits =
  8852 split_if split_if_asm; datatype package provides theorems foo.splits =
  8853 foo.split foo.split_asm for each datatype;
  8854 
  8855 * Isar/HOL: tuned inductive package, rename "intrs" to "intros"
  8856 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY), emulation of mk_cases feature for proof
  8857 scripts: new 'inductive_cases' command and 'ind_cases' method; (Note:
  8858 use "(cases (simplified))" method in proper proof texts);
  8859 
  8860 * Isar/HOL: added global 'arith_split' attribute for 'arith' method;
  8861 
  8862 * Isar: names of theorems etc. may be natural numbers as well;
  8863 
  8864 * Isar: 'pr' command: optional arguments for goals_limit and
  8865 ProofContext.prems_limit; no longer prints theory contexts, but only
  8866 proof states;
  8867 
  8868 * Isar: diagnostic commands 'pr', 'thm', 'prop', 'term', 'typ' admit
  8869 additional print modes to be specified; e.g. "pr(latex)" will print
  8870 proof state according to the Isabelle LaTeX style;
  8871 
  8872 * Isar: improved support for emulating tactic scripts, including proof
  8873 methods 'rule_tac' etc., 'cut_tac', 'thin_tac', 'subgoal_tac',
  8874 'rename_tac', 'rotate_tac', 'tactic', and 'case_tac' / 'induct_tac'
  8875 (for HOL datatypes);
  8876 
  8877 * Isar: simplified (more robust) goal selection of proof methods: 1st
  8878 goal, all goals, or explicit goal specifier (tactic emulation); thus
  8879 'proof method scripts' have to be in depth-first order;
  8880 
  8881 * Isar: tuned 'let' syntax: replaced 'as' keyword by 'and';
  8882 
  8883 * Isar: removed 'help' command, which hasn't been too helpful anyway;
  8884 should instead use individual commands for printing items
  8885 (print_commands, print_methods etc.);
  8886 
  8887 * Isar: added 'nothing' --- the empty list of theorems;
  8888 
  8889 
  8890 *** HOL ***
  8891 
  8892 * HOL/MicroJava: formalization of a fragment of Java, together with a
  8893 corresponding virtual machine and a specification of its bytecode
  8894 verifier and a lightweight bytecode verifier, including proofs of
  8895 type-safety; by Gerwin Klein, Tobias Nipkow, David von Oheimb, and
  8896 Cornelia Pusch (see also the homepage of project Bali at
  8897 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Bali/);
  8898 
  8899 * HOL/Algebra: new theory of rings and univariate polynomials, by
  8900 Clemens Ballarin;
  8901 
  8902 * HOL/NumberTheory: fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, Chinese
  8903 Remainder Theorem, Fermat/Euler Theorem, Wilson's Theorem, by Thomas M
  8904 Rasmussen;
  8905 
  8906 * HOL/Lattice: fundamental concepts of lattice theory and order
  8907 structures, including duals, properties of bounds versus algebraic
  8908 laws, lattice operations versus set-theoretic ones, the Knaster-Tarski
  8909 Theorem for complete lattices etc.; may also serve as a demonstration
  8910 for abstract algebraic reasoning using axiomatic type classes, and
  8911 mathematics-style proof in Isabelle/Isar; by Markus Wenzel;
  8912 
  8913 * HOL/Prolog: a (bare-bones) implementation of Lambda-Prolog, by David
  8914 von Oheimb;
  8915 
  8916 * HOL/IMPP: extension of IMP with local variables and mutually
  8917 recursive procedures, by David von Oheimb;
  8918 
  8919 * HOL/Lambda: converted into new-style theory and document;
  8920 
  8921 * HOL/ex/Multiquote: example of multiple nested quotations and
  8922 anti-quotations -- basically a generalized version of de-Bruijn
  8923 representation; very useful in avoiding lifting of operations;
  8924 
  8925 * HOL/record: added general record equality rule to simpset; fixed
  8926 select-update simplification procedure to handle extended records as
  8927 well; admit "r" as field name;
  8928 
  8929 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded over the new sort "zero", allowing its use with
  8930 other numeric types and also as the identity of groups, rings, etc.;
  8931 
  8932 * HOL: new axclass plus_ac0 for addition with the AC-laws and 0 as identity.
  8933 Types nat and int belong to this axclass;
  8934 
  8935 * HOL: greatly improved simplification involving numerals of type nat, int, real:
  8936    (i + #8 + j) = Suc k simplifies to  #7 + (i + j) = k
  8937    i*j + k + j*#3*i     simplifies to  #4*(i*j) + k
  8938   two terms #m*u and #n*u are replaced by #(m+n)*u
  8939     (where #m, #n and u can implicitly be 1; this is simproc combine_numerals)
  8940   and the term/formula #m*u+x ~~ #n*u+y simplifies simplifies to #(m-n)+x ~~ y
  8941     or x ~~ #(n-m)+y, where ~~ is one of = < <= or - (simproc cancel_numerals);
  8942 
  8943 * HOL: meson_tac is available (previously in ex/meson.ML); it is a
  8944 powerful prover for predicate logic but knows nothing of clasets; see
  8945 ex/mesontest.ML and ex/mesontest2.ML for example applications;
  8946 
  8947 * HOL: new version of "case_tac" subsumes both boolean case split and
  8948 "exhaust_tac" on datatypes; INCOMPATIBILITY: exhaust_tac no longer
  8949 exists, may define val exhaust_tac = case_tac for ad-hoc portability;
  8950 
  8951 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions: only the
  8952 selector expression is simplified, but not the remaining arms; to
  8953 enable full simplification of case-expressions for datatype t, you may
  8954 remove t.weak_case_cong from the simpset, either globally (Delcongs
  8955 [thm"t.weak_case_cong"];) or locally (delcongs [...]).
  8956 
  8957 * HOL/recdef: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' for
  8958 function 'f' are now called f.simps instead of f.rules; if all
  8959 termination conditions are proved automatically, these simplification
  8960 rules are added to the simpset, as in primrec; rules may be named
  8961 individually as well, resulting in a separate list of theorems for
  8962 each equation;
  8963 
  8964 * HOL/While is a new theory that provides a while-combinator. It
  8965 permits the definition of tail-recursive functions without the
  8966 provision of a termination measure. The latter is necessary once the
  8967 invariant proof rule for while is applied.
  8968 
  8969 * HOL: new (overloaded) notation for the set of elements below/above
  8970 some element: {..u}, {..u(}, {l..}, {)l..}. See theory SetInterval.
  8971 
  8972 * HOL: theorems impI, allI, ballI bound as "strip";
  8973 
  8974 * HOL: new tactic induct_thm_tac: thm -> string -> int -> tactic
  8975 induct_tac th "x1 ... xn" expects th to have a conclusion of the form
  8976 P v1 ... vn and abbreviates res_inst_tac [("v1","x1"),...,("vn","xn")] th;
  8977 
  8978 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
  8979 
  8980 * HOL: theory Sexp now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part of
  8981 main HOL, but was unused);
  8982 
  8983 * HOL: fewer consts declared as global (e.g. have to refer to
  8984 "Lfp.lfp" instead of "lfp" internally; affects ML packages only);
  8985 
  8986 * HOL: tuned AST representation of nested pairs, avoiding bogus output
  8987 in case of overlap with user translations (e.g. judgements over
  8988 tuples); (note that the underlying logical represenation is still
  8989 bogus);
  8990 
  8991 
  8992 *** ZF ***
  8993 
  8994 * ZF: simplification automatically cancels common terms in arithmetic
  8995 expressions over nat and int;
  8996 
  8997 * ZF: new treatment of nat to minimize type-checking: all operators
  8998 coerce their operands to a natural number using the function natify,
  8999 making the algebraic laws unconditional;
  9000 
  9001 * ZF: as above, for int: operators coerce their operands to an integer
  9002 using the function intify;
  9003 
  9004 * ZF: the integer library now contains many of the usual laws for the
  9005 orderings, including $<=, and monotonicity laws for $+ and $*;
  9006 
  9007 * ZF: new example ZF/ex/NatSum to demonstrate integer arithmetic
  9008 simplification;
  9009 
  9010 * FOL and ZF: AddIffs now available, giving theorems of the form P<->Q
  9011 to the simplifier and classical reasoner simultaneously;
  9012 
  9013 
  9014 *** General ***
  9015 
  9016 * Provers: blast_tac now handles actual object-logic rules as
  9017 assumptions; note that auto_tac uses blast_tac internally as well;
  9018 
  9019 * Provers: new functions rulify/rulify_no_asm: thm -> thm for turning
  9020 outer -->/All/Ball into ==>/!!; qed_spec_mp now uses rulify_no_asm;
  9021 
  9022 * Provers: delrules now handles destruct rules as well (no longer need
  9023 explicit make_elim);
  9024 
  9025 * Provers: Blast_tac now warns of and ignores "weak elimination rules" e.g.
  9026   [| inj ?f;          ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
  9027 use instead the strong form,
  9028   [| inj ?f; ~ ?W ==> ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
  9029 in HOL, FOL and ZF the function cla_make_elim will create such rules
  9030 from destruct-rules;
  9031 
  9032 * Provers: Simplifier.easy_setup provides a fast path to basic
  9033 Simplifier setup for new object-logics;
  9034 
  9035 * Pure: AST translation rules no longer require constant head on LHS;
  9036 
  9037 * Pure: improved name spaces: ambiguous output is qualified; support
  9038 for hiding of names;
  9039 
  9040 * system: smart setup of canonical ML_HOME, ISABELLE_INTERFACE, and
  9041 XSYMBOL_HOME; no longer need to do manual configuration in most
  9042 situations;
  9043 
  9044 * system: compression of ML heaps images may now be controlled via -c
  9045 option of isabelle and isatool usedir (currently only observed by
  9046 Poly/ML);
  9047 
  9048 * system: isatool installfonts may handle X-Symbol fonts as well (very
  9049 useful for remote X11);
  9050 
  9051 * system: provide TAGS file for Isabelle sources;
  9052 
  9053 * ML: infix 'OF' is a version of 'MRS' with more appropriate argument
  9054 order;
  9055 
  9056 * ML: renamed flags Syntax.trace_norm_ast to Syntax.trace_ast; global
  9057 timing flag supersedes proof_timing and Toplevel.trace;
  9058 
  9059 * ML: new combinators |>> and |>>> for incremental transformations
  9060 with secondary results (e.g. certain theory extensions):
  9061 
  9062 * ML: PureThy.add_defs gets additional argument to indicate potential
  9063 overloading (usually false);
  9064 
  9065 * ML: PureThy.add_thms/add_axioms/add_defs now return theorems as
  9066 results;
  9067 
  9068 
  9069 
  9070 New in Isabelle99 (October 1999)
  9071 --------------------------------
  9072 
  9073 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  9074 
  9075 * HOL: The THEN and ELSE parts of conditional expressions (if P then x else y)
  9076 are no longer simplified.  (This allows the simplifier to unfold recursive
  9077 functional programs.)  To restore the old behaviour, declare
  9078 
  9079     Delcongs [if_weak_cong];
  9080 
  9081 * HOL: Removed the obsolete syntax "Compl A"; use -A for set
  9082 complement;
  9083 
  9084 * HOL: the predicate "inj" is now defined by translation to "inj_on";
  9085 
  9086 * HOL/datatype: mutual_induct_tac no longer exists --
  9087   use induct_tac "x_1 ... x_n" instead of mutual_induct_tac ["x_1", ..., "x_n"]
  9088 
  9089 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
  9090 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
  9091 
  9092 * ZF: The con_defs part of an inductive definition may no longer refer
  9093 to constants declared in the same theory;
  9094 
  9095 * HOL, ZF: the function mk_cases, generated by the inductive
  9096 definition package, has lost an argument.  To simplify its result, it
  9097 uses the default simpset instead of a supplied list of theorems.
  9098 
  9099 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
  9100 
  9101 * Simplifier: the type of the infix ML functions
  9102         setSSolver addSSolver setSolver addSolver
  9103 is now  simpset * solver -> simpset  where `solver' is a new abstract type
  9104 for packaging solvers. A solver is created via
  9105         mk_solver: string -> (thm list -> int -> tactic) -> solver
  9106 where the string argument is only a comment.
  9107 
  9108 
  9109 *** Proof tools ***
  9110 
  9111 * Provers/Arith/fast_lin_arith.ML contains a functor for creating a
  9112 decision procedure for linear arithmetic. Currently it is used for
  9113 types `nat', `int', and `real' in HOL (see below); it can, should and
  9114 will be instantiated for other types and logics as well.
  9115 
  9116 * The simplifier now accepts rewrite rules with flexible heads, eg
  9117      hom ?f ==> ?f(?x+?y) = ?f ?x + ?f ?y
  9118   They are applied like any rule with a non-pattern lhs, i.e. by first-order
  9119   matching.
  9120 
  9121 
  9122 *** General ***
  9123 
  9124 * New Isabelle/Isar subsystem provides an alternative to traditional
  9125 tactical theorem proving; together with the ProofGeneral/isar user
  9126 interface it offers an interactive environment for developing human
  9127 readable proof documents (Isar == Intelligible semi-automated
  9128 reasoning); for further information see isatool doc isar-ref,
  9129 src/HOL/Isar_examples and http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Isar/
  9130 
  9131 * improved and simplified presentation of theories: better HTML markup
  9132 (including colors), graph views in several sizes; isatool usedir now
  9133 provides a proper interface for user theories (via -P option); actual
  9134 document preparation based on (PDF)LaTeX is available as well (for
  9135 new-style theories only); see isatool doc system for more information;
  9136 
  9137 * native support for Proof General, both for classic Isabelle and
  9138 Isabelle/Isar;
  9139 
  9140 * ML function thm_deps visualizes dependencies of theorems and lemmas,
  9141 using the graph browser tool;
  9142 
  9143 * Isabelle manuals now also available as PDF;
  9144 
  9145 * theory loader rewritten from scratch (may not be fully
  9146 bug-compatible); old loadpath variable has been replaced by show_path,
  9147 add_path, del_path, reset_path functions; new operations such as
  9148 update_thy, touch_thy, remove_thy, use/update_thy_only (see also
  9149 isatool doc ref);
  9150 
  9151 * improved isatool install: option -k creates KDE application icon,
  9152 option -p DIR installs standalone binaries;
  9153 
  9154 * added ML_PLATFORM setting (useful for cross-platform installations);
  9155 more robust handling of platform specific ML images for SML/NJ;
  9156 
  9157 * the settings environment is now statically scoped, i.e. it is never
  9158 created again in sub-processes invoked from isabelle, isatool, or
  9159 Isabelle;
  9160 
  9161 * path element specification '~~' refers to '$ISABELLE_HOME';
  9162 
  9163 * in locales, the "assumes" and "defines" parts may be omitted if
  9164 empty;
  9165 
  9166 * new print_mode "xsymbols" for extended symbol support (e.g. genuine
  9167 long arrows);
  9168 
  9169 * new print_mode "HTML";
  9170 
  9171 * new flag show_tags controls display of tags of theorems (which are
  9172 basically just comments that may be attached by some tools);
  9173 
  9174 * Isamode 2.6 requires patch to accomodate change of Isabelle font
  9175 mode and goal output format:
  9176 
  9177 diff -r Isamode-2.6/elisp/isa-load.el Isamode/elisp/isa-load.el
  9178 244c244
  9179 <       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-msymbols" logic-name)
  9180 ---
  9181 >       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-misabelle_font" "-msymbols" logic-name)
  9182 diff -r Isabelle-2.6/elisp/isa-proofstate.el Isamode/elisp/isa-proofstate.el
  9183 181c181
  9184 < (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+$"
  9185 ---
  9186 > (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+"
  9187 
  9188 * function bind_thms stores lists of theorems (cf. bind_thm);
  9189 
  9190 * new shorthand tactics ftac, eatac, datac, fatac;
  9191 
  9192 * qed (and friends) now accept "" as result name; in that case the
  9193 theorem is not stored, but proper checks and presentation of the
  9194 result still apply;
  9195 
  9196 * theorem database now also indexes constants "Trueprop", "all",
  9197 "==>", "=="; thus thms_containing, findI etc. may retrieve more rules;
  9198 
  9199 
  9200 *** HOL ***
  9201 
  9202 ** HOL arithmetic **
  9203 
  9204 * There are now decision procedures for linear arithmetic over nat and
  9205 int:
  9206 
  9207 1. arith_tac copes with arbitrary formulae involving `=', `<', `<=',
  9208 `+', `-', `Suc', `min', `max' and numerical constants; other subterms
  9209 are treated as atomic; subformulae not involving type `nat' or `int'
  9210 are ignored; quantified subformulae are ignored unless they are
  9211 positive universal or negative existential. The tactic has to be
  9212 invoked by hand and can be a little bit slow. In particular, the
  9213 running time is exponential in the number of occurrences of `min' and
  9214 `max', and `-' on `nat'.
  9215 
  9216 2. fast_arith_tac is a cut-down version of arith_tac: it only takes
  9217 (negated) (in)equalities among the premises and the conclusion into
  9218 account (i.e. no compound formulae) and does not know about `min' and
  9219 `max', and `-' on `nat'. It is fast and is used automatically by the
  9220 simplifier.
  9221 
  9222 NB: At the moment, these decision procedures do not cope with mixed
  9223 nat/int formulae where the two parts interact, such as `m < n ==>
  9224 int(m) < int(n)'.
  9225 
  9226 * HOL/Numeral provides a generic theory of numerals (encoded
  9227 efficiently as bit strings); setup for types nat/int/real is in place;
  9228 INCOMPATIBILITY: since numeral syntax is now polymorphic, rather than
  9229 int, existing theories and proof scripts may require a few additional
  9230 type constraints;
  9231 
  9232 * integer division and remainder can now be performed on constant
  9233 arguments;
  9234 
  9235 * many properties of integer multiplication, division and remainder
  9236 are now available;
  9237 
  9238 * An interface to the Stanford Validity Checker (SVC) is available through the
  9239 tactic svc_tac.  Propositional tautologies and theorems of linear arithmetic
  9240 are proved automatically.  SVC must be installed separately, and its results
  9241 must be TAKEN ON TRUST (Isabelle does not check the proofs, but tags any
  9242 invocation of the underlying oracle).  For SVC see
  9243   http://verify.stanford.edu/SVC
  9244 
  9245 * IsaMakefile: the HOL-Real target now builds an actual image;
  9246 
  9247 
  9248 ** HOL misc **
  9249 
  9250 * HOL/Real/HahnBanach: the Hahn-Banach theorem for real vector spaces
  9251 (in Isabelle/Isar) -- by Gertrud Bauer;
  9252 
  9253 * HOL/BCV: generic model of bytecode verification, i.e. data-flow
  9254 analysis for assembly languages with subtypes;
  9255 
  9256 * HOL/TLA (Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions): major reorganization
  9257 -- avoids syntactic ambiguities and treats state, transition, and
  9258 temporal levels more uniformly; introduces INCOMPATIBILITIES due to
  9259 changed syntax and (many) tactics;
  9260 
  9261 * HOL/inductive: Now also handles more general introduction rules such
  9262   as "ALL y. (y, x) : r --> y : acc r ==> x : acc r"; monotonicity
  9263   theorems are now maintained within the theory (maintained via the
  9264   "mono" attribute);
  9265 
  9266 * HOL/datatype: Now also handles arbitrarily branching datatypes
  9267   (using function types) such as
  9268 
  9269   datatype 'a tree = Atom 'a | Branch "nat => 'a tree"
  9270 
  9271 * HOL/record: record_simproc (part of the default simpset) takes care
  9272 of selectors applied to updated records; record_split_tac is no longer
  9273 part of the default claset; update_defs may now be removed from the
  9274 simpset in many cases; COMPATIBILITY: old behavior achieved by
  9275 
  9276   claset_ref () := claset() addSWrapper record_split_wrapper;
  9277   Delsimprocs [record_simproc]
  9278 
  9279 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
  9280 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
  9281 
  9282 * HOL/recdef (TFL): 'congs' syntax now expects comma separated list of theorem
  9283 names rather than an ML expression;
  9284 
  9285 * HOL/defer_recdef (TFL): like recdef but the well-founded relation can be
  9286 supplied later.  Program schemes can be defined, such as
  9287     "While B C s = (if B s then While B C (C s) else s)"
  9288 where the well-founded relation can be chosen after B and C have been given.
  9289 
  9290 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
  9291 INCOMPATIBILITY: while [] and infix # syntax is still there, of
  9292 course, ML tools referring to List.list.op # etc. have to be adapted;
  9293 
  9294 * HOL_quantifiers flag superseded by "HOL" print mode, which is
  9295 disabled by default; run isabelle with option -m HOL to get back to
  9296 the original Gordon/HOL-style output;
  9297 
  9298 * HOL/Ord.thy: new bounded quantifier syntax (input only): ALL x<y. P,
  9299 ALL x<=y. P, EX x<y. P, EX x<=y. P;
  9300 
  9301 * HOL basic syntax simplified (more orthogonal): all variants of
  9302 All/Ex now support plain / symbolic / HOL notation; plain syntax for
  9303 Eps operator is provided as well: "SOME x. P[x]";
  9304 
  9305 * HOL/Sum.thy: sum_case has been moved to HOL/Datatype;
  9306 
  9307 * HOL/Univ.thy: infix syntax <*>, <+>, <**>, <+> eliminated and made
  9308 thus available for user theories;
  9309 
  9310 * HOLCF/IOA/Sequents: renamed 'Cons' to 'Consq' to avoid clash with
  9311 HOL/List; hardly an INCOMPATIBILITY since '>>' syntax is used all the
  9312 time;
  9313 
  9314 * HOL: new tactic smp_tac: int -> int -> tactic, which applies spec
  9315 several times and then mp;
  9316 
  9317 
  9318 *** LK ***
  9319 
  9320 * the notation <<...>> is now available as a notation for sequences of
  9321 formulas;
  9322 
  9323 * the simplifier is now installed
  9324 
  9325 * the axiom system has been generalized (thanks to Soren Heilmann)
  9326 
  9327 * the classical reasoner now has a default rule database
  9328 
  9329 
  9330 *** ZF ***
  9331 
  9332 * new primrec section allows primitive recursive functions to be given
  9333 directly (as in HOL) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
  9334 
  9335 * new tactics induct_tac and exhaust_tac for induction (or case
  9336 analysis) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
  9337 
  9338 * the datatype declaration of type T now defines the recursor T_rec;
  9339 
  9340 * simplification automatically does freeness reasoning for datatype
  9341 constructors;
  9342 
  9343 * automatic type-inference, with AddTCs command to insert new
  9344 type-checking rules;
  9345 
  9346 * datatype introduction rules are now added as Safe Introduction rules
  9347 to the claset;
  9348 
  9349 * the syntax "if P then x else y" is now available in addition to
  9350 if(P,x,y);
  9351 
  9352 
  9353 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
  9354 
  9355 * tuned simplifier trace output; new flag debug_simp;
  9356 
  9357 * structures Vartab / Termtab (instances of TableFun) offer efficient
  9358 tables indexed by indexname_ord / term_ord (compatible with aconv);
  9359 
  9360 * AxClass.axclass_tac lost the theory argument;
  9361 
  9362 * tuned current_goals_markers semantics: begin / end goal avoids
  9363 printing empty lines;
  9364 
  9365 * removed prs and prs_fn hook, which was broken because it did not
  9366 include \n in its semantics, forcing writeln to add one
  9367 uncoditionally; replaced prs_fn by writeln_fn; consider std_output:
  9368 string -> unit if you really want to output text without newline;
  9369 
  9370 * Symbol.output subject to print mode; INCOMPATIBILITY: defaults to
  9371 plain output, interface builders may have to enable 'isabelle_font'
  9372 mode to get Isabelle font glyphs as before;
  9373 
  9374 * refined token_translation interface; INCOMPATIBILITY: output length
  9375 now of type real instead of int;
  9376 
  9377 * theory loader actions may be traced via new ThyInfo.add_hook
  9378 interface (see src/Pure/Thy/thy_info.ML); example application: keep
  9379 your own database of information attached to *whole* theories -- as
  9380 opposed to intra-theory data slots offered via TheoryDataFun;
  9381 
  9382 * proper handling of dangling sort hypotheses (at last!);
  9383 Thm.strip_shyps and Drule.strip_shyps_warning take care of removing
  9384 extra sort hypotheses that can be witnessed from the type signature;
  9385 the force_strip_shyps flag is gone, any remaining shyps are simply
  9386 left in the theorem (with a warning issued by strip_shyps_warning);
  9387 
  9388 
  9389 
  9390 New in Isabelle98-1 (October 1998)
  9391 ----------------------------------
  9392 
  9393 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  9394 
  9395 * several changes of automated proof tools;
  9396 
  9397 * HOL: major changes to the inductive and datatype packages, including
  9398 some minor incompatibilities of theory syntax;
  9399 
  9400 * HOL: renamed r^-1 to 'converse' from 'inverse'; 'inj_onto' is now
  9401 called `inj_on';
  9402 
  9403 * HOL: removed duplicate thms in Arith:
  9404   less_imp_add_less  should be replaced by  trans_less_add1
  9405   le_imp_add_le      should be replaced by  trans_le_add1
  9406 
  9407 * HOL: unary minus is now overloaded (new type constraints may be
  9408 required);
  9409 
  9410 * HOL and ZF: unary minus for integers is now #- instead of #~.  In
  9411 ZF, expressions such as n#-1 must be changed to n#- 1, since #-1 is
  9412 now taken as an integer constant.
  9413 
  9414 * Pure: ML function 'theory_of' renamed to 'theory';
  9415 
  9416 
  9417 *** Proof tools ***
  9418 
  9419 * Simplifier:
  9420   1. Asm_full_simp_tac is now more aggressive.
  9421      1. It will sometimes reorient premises if that increases their power to
  9422         simplify.
  9423      2. It does no longer proceed strictly from left to right but may also
  9424         rotate premises to achieve further simplification.
  9425      For compatibility reasons there is now Asm_lr_simp_tac which is like the
  9426      old Asm_full_simp_tac in that it does not rotate premises.
  9427   2. The simplifier now knows a little bit about nat-arithmetic.
  9428 
  9429 * Classical reasoner: wrapper mechanism for the classical reasoner now
  9430 allows for selected deletion of wrappers, by introduction of names for
  9431 wrapper functionals.  This implies that addbefore, addSbefore,
  9432 addaltern, and addSaltern now take a pair (name, tactic) as argument,
  9433 and that adding two tactics with the same name overwrites the first
  9434 one (emitting a warning).
  9435   type wrapper = (int -> tactic) -> (int -> tactic)
  9436   setWrapper, setSWrapper, compWrapper and compSWrapper are replaced by
  9437   addWrapper, addSWrapper: claset * (string * wrapper) -> claset
  9438   delWrapper, delSWrapper: claset *  string            -> claset
  9439   getWrapper is renamed to appWrappers, getSWrapper to appSWrappers;
  9440 
  9441 * Classical reasoner: addbefore/addSbefore now have APPEND/ORELSE
  9442 semantics; addbefore now affects only the unsafe part of step_tac
  9443 etc.; this affects addss/auto_tac/force_tac, so EXISTING PROOFS MAY
  9444 FAIL, but proofs should be fixable easily, e.g. by replacing Auto_tac
  9445 by Force_tac;
  9446 
  9447 * Classical reasoner: setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to
  9448 compWrapper; added safe wrapper (and access functions for it);
  9449 
  9450 * HOL/split_all_tac is now much faster and fails if there is nothing
  9451 to split.  Some EXISTING PROOFS MAY REQUIRE ADAPTION because the order
  9452 and the names of the automatically generated variables have changed.
  9453 split_all_tac has moved within claset() from unsafe wrappers to safe
  9454 wrappers, which means that !!-bound variables are split much more
  9455 aggressively, and safe_tac and clarify_tac now split such variables.
  9456 If this splitting is not appropriate, use delSWrapper "split_all_tac".
  9457 Note: the same holds for record_split_tac, which does the job of
  9458 split_all_tac for record fields.
  9459 
  9460 * HOL/Simplifier: Rewrite rules for case distinctions can now be added
  9461 permanently to the default simpset using Addsplits just like
  9462 Addsimps. They can be removed via Delsplits just like
  9463 Delsimps. Lower-case versions are also available.
  9464 
  9465 * HOL/Simplifier: The rule split_if is now part of the default
  9466 simpset. This means that the simplifier will eliminate all occurrences
  9467 of if-then-else in the conclusion of a goal. To prevent this, you can
  9468 either remove split_if completely from the default simpset by
  9469 `Delsplits [split_if]' or remove it in a specific call of the
  9470 simplifier using `... delsplits [split_if]'.  You can also add/delete
  9471 other case splitting rules to/from the default simpset: every datatype
  9472 generates suitable rules `split_t_case' and `split_t_case_asm' (where
  9473 t is the name of the datatype).
  9474 
  9475 * Classical reasoner / Simplifier combination: new force_tac (and
  9476 derivatives Force_tac, force) combines rewriting and classical
  9477 reasoning (and whatever other tools) similarly to auto_tac, but is
  9478 aimed to solve the given subgoal completely.
  9479 
  9480 
  9481 *** General ***
  9482 
  9483 * new top-level commands `Goal' and `Goalw' that improve upon `goal'
  9484 and `goalw': the theory is no longer needed as an explicit argument -
  9485 the current theory context is used; assumptions are no longer returned
  9486 at the ML-level unless one of them starts with ==> or !!; it is
  9487 recommended to convert to these new commands using isatool fixgoal
  9488 (backup your sources first!);
  9489 
  9490 * new top-level commands 'thm' and 'thms' for retrieving theorems from
  9491 the current theory context, and 'theory' to lookup stored theories;
  9492 
  9493 * new theory section 'locale' for declaring constants, assumptions and
  9494 definitions that have local scope;
  9495 
  9496 * new theory section 'nonterminals' for purely syntactic types;
  9497 
  9498 * new theory section 'setup' for generic ML setup functions
  9499 (e.g. package initialization);
  9500 
  9501 * the distribution now includes Isabelle icons: see
  9502 lib/logo/isabelle-{small,tiny}.xpm;
  9503 
  9504 * isatool install - install binaries with absolute references to
  9505 ISABELLE_HOME/bin;
  9506 
  9507 * isatool logo -- create instances of the Isabelle logo (as EPS);
  9508 
  9509 * print mode 'emacs' reserved for Isamode;
  9510 
  9511 * support multiple print (ast) translations per constant name;
  9512 
  9513 * theorems involving oracles are now printed with a suffixed [!];
  9514 
  9515 
  9516 *** HOL ***
  9517 
  9518 * there is now a tutorial on Isabelle/HOL (do 'isatool doc tutorial');
  9519 
  9520 * HOL/inductive package reorganized and improved: now supports mutual
  9521 definitions such as
  9522 
  9523   inductive EVEN ODD
  9524     intrs
  9525       null "0 : EVEN"
  9526       oddI "n : EVEN ==> Suc n : ODD"
  9527       evenI "n : ODD ==> Suc n : EVEN"
  9528 
  9529 new theorem list "elims" contains an elimination rule for each of the
  9530 recursive sets; inductive definitions now handle disjunctive premises
  9531 correctly (also ZF);
  9532 
  9533 INCOMPATIBILITIES: requires Inductive as an ancestor; component
  9534 "mutual_induct" no longer exists - the induction rule is always
  9535 contained in "induct";
  9536 
  9537 
  9538 * HOL/datatype package re-implemented and greatly improved: now
  9539 supports mutually recursive datatypes such as
  9540 
  9541   datatype
  9542     'a aexp = IF_THEN_ELSE ('a bexp) ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9543             | SUM ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9544             | DIFF ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9545             | NUM 'a
  9546   and
  9547     'a bexp = LESS ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9548             | AND ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
  9549             | OR ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
  9550 
  9551 as well as indirectly recursive datatypes such as
  9552 
  9553   datatype
  9554     ('a, 'b) term = Var 'a
  9555                   | App 'b ((('a, 'b) term) list)
  9556 
  9557 The new tactic  mutual_induct_tac [<var_1>, ..., <var_n>] i  performs
  9558 induction on mutually / indirectly recursive datatypes.
  9559 
  9560 Primrec equations are now stored in theory and can be accessed via
  9561 <function_name>.simps.
  9562 
  9563 INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  9564 
  9565   - Theories using datatypes must now have theory Datatype as an
  9566     ancestor.
  9567   - The specific <typename>.induct_tac no longer exists - use the
  9568     generic induct_tac instead.
  9569   - natE has been renamed to nat.exhaust - use exhaust_tac
  9570     instead of res_inst_tac ... natE. Note that the variable
  9571     names in nat.exhaust differ from the names in natE, this
  9572     may cause some "fragile" proofs to fail.
  9573   - The theorems split_<typename>_case and split_<typename>_case_asm
  9574     have been renamed to <typename>.split and <typename>.split_asm.
  9575   - Since default sorts of type variables are now handled correctly,
  9576     some datatype definitions may have to be annotated with explicit
  9577     sort constraints.
  9578   - Primrec definitions no longer require function name and type
  9579     of recursive argument.
  9580 
  9581 Consider using isatool fixdatatype to adapt your theories and proof
  9582 scripts to the new package (backup your sources first!).
  9583 
  9584 
  9585 * HOL/record package: considerably improved implementation; now
  9586 includes concrete syntax for record types, terms, updates; theorems
  9587 for surjective pairing and splitting !!-bound record variables; proof
  9588 support is as follows:
  9589 
  9590   1) standard conversions (selectors or updates applied to record
  9591 constructor terms) are part of the standard simpset;
  9592 
  9593   2) inject equations of the form ((x, y) = (x', y')) == x=x' & y=y' are
  9594 made part of standard simpset and claset via addIffs;
  9595 
  9596   3) a tactic for record field splitting (record_split_tac) is part of
  9597 the standard claset (addSWrapper);
  9598 
  9599 To get a better idea about these rules you may retrieve them via
  9600 something like 'thms "foo.simps"' or 'thms "foo.iffs"', where "foo" is
  9601 the name of your record type.
  9602 
  9603 The split tactic 3) conceptually simplifies by the following rule:
  9604 
  9605   "(!!x. PROP ?P x) == (!!a b. PROP ?P (a, b))"
  9606 
  9607 Thus any record variable that is bound by meta-all will automatically
  9608 blow up into some record constructor term, consequently the
  9609 simplifications of 1), 2) apply.  Thus force_tac, auto_tac etc. shall
  9610 solve record problems automatically.
  9611 
  9612 
  9613 * reorganized the main HOL image: HOL/Integ and String loaded by
  9614 default; theory Main includes everything;
  9615 
  9616 * automatic simplification of integer sums and comparisons, using cancellation;
  9617 
  9618 * added option_map_eq_Some and not_Some_eq to the default simpset and claset;
  9619 
  9620 * added disj_not1 = "(~P | Q) = (P --> Q)" to the default simpset;
  9621 
  9622 * many new identities for unions, intersections, set difference, etc.;
  9623 
  9624 * expand_if, expand_split, expand_sum_case and expand_nat_case are now
  9625 called split_if, split_split, split_sum_case and split_nat_case (to go
  9626 with add/delsplits);
  9627 
  9628 * HOL/Prod introduces simplification procedure unit_eq_proc rewriting
  9629 (?x::unit) = (); this is made part of the default simpset, which COULD
  9630 MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL under rare circumstances (consider
  9631 'Delsimprocs [unit_eq_proc];' as last resort); also note that
  9632 unit_abs_eta_conv is added in order to counter the effect of
  9633 unit_eq_proc on (%u::unit. f u), replacing it by f rather than by
  9634 %u.f();
  9635 
  9636 * HOL/Fun INCOMPATIBILITY: `inj_onto' is now called `inj_on' (which
  9637 makes more sense);
  9638 
  9639 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
  9640   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
  9641   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
  9642 
  9643 * HOL/Relation INCOMPATIBILITY: renamed the relational operator r^-1
  9644 to 'converse' from 'inverse' (for compatibility with ZF and some
  9645 literature);
  9646 
  9647 * HOL/recdef can now declare non-recursive functions, with {} supplied as
  9648 the well-founded relation;
  9649 
  9650 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: the complement of set A is now written -A instead of
  9651     Compl A.  The "Compl" syntax remains available as input syntax for this
  9652     release ONLY.
  9653 
  9654 * HOL/Update: new theory of function updates:
  9655     f(a:=b) == %x. if x=a then b else f x
  9656 may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
  9657 
  9658 * HOL/Vimage: new theory for inverse image of a function, syntax f-``B;
  9659 
  9660 * HOL/List:
  9661   - new function list_update written xs[i:=v] that updates the i-th
  9662     list position. May also be iterated as in xs[i:=a,j:=b,...].
  9663   - new function `upt' written [i..j(] which generates the list
  9664     [i,i+1,...,j-1], i.e. the upper bound is excluded. To include the upper
  9665     bound write [i..j], which is a shorthand for [i..j+1(].
  9666   - new lexicographic orderings and corresponding wellfoundedness theorems.
  9667 
  9668 * HOL/Arith:
  9669   - removed 'pred' (predecessor) function;
  9670   - generalized some theorems about n-1;
  9671   - many new laws about "div" and "mod";
  9672   - new laws about greatest common divisors (see theory ex/Primes);
  9673 
  9674 * HOL/Relation: renamed the relational operator r^-1 "converse"
  9675 instead of "inverse";
  9676 
  9677 * HOL/Induct/Multiset: a theory of multisets, including the wellfoundedness
  9678   of the multiset ordering;
  9679 
  9680 * directory HOL/Real: a construction of the reals using Dedekind cuts
  9681   (not included by default);
  9682 
  9683 * directory HOL/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY formalism;
  9684 
  9685 * directory HOL/Hoare: a new version of Hoare logic which permits many-sorted
  9686   programs, i.e. different program variables may have different types.
  9687 
  9688 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
  9689   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
  9690   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
  9691 
  9692 
  9693 *** ZF ***
  9694 
  9695 * theory Main includes everything; INCOMPATIBILITY: theory ZF.thy contains
  9696   only the theorems proved on ZF.ML;
  9697 
  9698 * ZF INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
  9699   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
  9700   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
  9701 
  9702 * ZF/Update: new theory of function updates
  9703     with default rewrite rule  f(x:=y) ` z = if(z=x, y, f`z)
  9704   may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
  9705 
  9706 * in  let x=t in u(x), neither t nor u(x) has to be an FOL term.
  9707 
  9708 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
  9709   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
  9710   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
  9711 
  9712 * case_tac provided for compatibility with HOL
  9713     (like the old excluded_middle_tac, but with subgoals swapped)
  9714 
  9715 
  9716 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
  9717 
  9718 * Pure: several new basic modules made available for general use, see
  9719 also src/Pure/README;
  9720 
  9721 * improved the theory data mechanism to support encapsulation (data
  9722 kind name replaced by private Object.kind, acting as authorization
  9723 key); new type-safe user interface via functor TheoryDataFun; generic
  9724 print_data function becomes basically useless;
  9725 
  9726 * removed global_names compatibility flag -- all theory declarations
  9727 are qualified by default;
  9728 
  9729 * module Pure/Syntax now offers quote / antiquote translation
  9730 functions (useful for Hoare logic etc. with implicit dependencies);
  9731 see HOL/ex/Antiquote for an example use;
  9732 
  9733 * Simplifier now offers conversions (asm_)(full_)rewrite: simpset ->
  9734 cterm -> thm;
  9735 
  9736 * new tactical CHANGED_GOAL for checking that a tactic modifies a
  9737 subgoal;
  9738 
  9739 * Display.print_goals function moved to Locale.print_goals;
  9740 
  9741 * standard print function for goals supports current_goals_markers
  9742 variable for marking begin of proof, end of proof, start of goal; the
  9743 default is ("", "", ""); setting current_goals_markers := ("<proof>",
  9744 "</proof>", "<goal>") causes SGML like tagged proof state printing,
  9745 for example;
  9746 
  9747 
  9748 
  9749 New in Isabelle98 (January 1998)
  9750 --------------------------------
  9751 
  9752 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  9753 
  9754 * changed lexical syntax of terms / types: dots made part of long
  9755 identifiers, e.g. "%x.x" no longer possible, should be "%x. x";
  9756 
  9757 * simpset (and claset) reference variable replaced by functions
  9758 simpset / simpset_ref;
  9759 
  9760 * no longer supports theory aliases (via merge) and non-trivial
  9761 implicit merge of thms' signatures;
  9762 
  9763 * most internal names of constants changed due to qualified names;
  9764 
  9765 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML);
  9766 
  9767 
  9768 *** General Changes ***
  9769 
  9770 * hierachically structured name spaces (for consts, types, axms, thms
  9771 etc.); new lexical class 'longid' (e.g. Foo.bar.x) may render much of
  9772 old input syntactically incorrect (e.g. "%x.x"); COMPATIBILITY:
  9773 isatool fixdots ensures space after dots (e.g. "%x. x"); set
  9774 long_names for fully qualified output names; NOTE: ML programs
  9775 (special tactics, packages etc.) referring to internal names may have
  9776 to be adapted to cope with fully qualified names; in case of severe
  9777 backward campatibility problems try setting 'global_names' at compile
  9778 time to have enrything declared within a flat name space; one may also
  9779 fine tune name declarations in theories via the 'global' and 'local'
  9780 section;
  9781 
  9782 * reimplemented the implicit simpset and claset using the new anytype
  9783 data filed in signatures; references simpset:simpset ref etc. are
  9784 replaced by functions simpset:unit->simpset and
  9785 simpset_ref:unit->simpset ref; COMPATIBILITY: use isatool fixclasimp
  9786 to patch your ML files accordingly;
  9787 
  9788 * HTML output now includes theory graph data for display with Java
  9789 applet or isatool browser; data generated automatically via isatool
  9790 usedir (see -i option, ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS);
  9791 
  9792 * defs may now be conditional; improved rewrite_goals_tac to handle
  9793 conditional equations;
  9794 
  9795 * defs now admits additional type arguments, using TYPE('a) syntax;
  9796 
  9797 * theory aliases via merge (e.g. M=A+B+C) no longer supported, always
  9798 creates a new theory node; implicit merge of thms' signatures is
  9799 restricted to 'trivial' ones; COMPATIBILITY: one may have to use
  9800 transfer:theory->thm->thm in (rare) cases;
  9801 
  9802 * improved handling of draft signatures / theories; draft thms (and
  9803 ctyps, cterms) are automatically promoted to real ones;
  9804 
  9805 * slightly changed interfaces for oracles: admit many per theory, named
  9806 (e.g. oracle foo = mlfun), additional name argument for invoke_oracle;
  9807 
  9808 * print_goals: optional output of const types (set show_consts and
  9809 show_types);
  9810 
  9811 * improved output of warnings (###) and errors (***);
  9812 
  9813 * subgoal_tac displays a warning if the new subgoal has type variables;
  9814 
  9815 * removed old README and Makefiles;
  9816 
  9817 * replaced print_goals_ref hook by print_current_goals_fn and result_error_fn;
  9818 
  9819 * removed obsolete init_pps and init_database;
  9820 
  9821 * deleted the obsolete tactical STATE, which was declared by
  9822     fun STATE tacfun st = tacfun st st;
  9823 
  9824 * cd and use now support path variables, e.g. $ISABELLE_HOME, or ~
  9825 (which abbreviates $HOME);
  9826 
  9827 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML); COMPATIBILITY:
  9828 use isatool fixseq to adapt your ML programs (this works for fully
  9829 qualified references to the Sequence structure only!);
  9830 
  9831 * use_thy no longer requires writable current directory; it always
  9832 reloads .ML *and* .thy file, if either one is out of date;
  9833 
  9834 
  9835 *** Classical Reasoner ***
  9836 
  9837 * Clarify_tac, clarify_tac, clarify_step_tac, Clarify_step_tac: new
  9838 tactics that use classical reasoning to simplify a subgoal without
  9839 splitting it into several subgoals;
  9840 
  9841 * Safe_tac: like safe_tac but uses the default claset;
  9842 
  9843 
  9844 *** Simplifier ***
  9845 
  9846 * added simplification meta rules:
  9847     (asm_)(full_)simplify: simpset -> thm -> thm;
  9848 
  9849 * simplifier.ML no longer part of Pure -- has to be loaded by object
  9850 logics (again);
  9851 
  9852 * added prems argument to simplification procedures;
  9853 
  9854 * HOL, FOL, ZF: added infix function `addsplits':
  9855   instead of `<simpset> setloop (split_tac <thms>)'
  9856   you can simply write `<simpset> addsplits <thms>'
  9857 
  9858 
  9859 *** Syntax ***
  9860 
  9861 * TYPE('a) syntax for type reflection terms;
  9862 
  9863 * no longer handles consts with name "" -- declare as 'syntax' instead;
  9864 
  9865 * pretty printer: changed order of mixfix annotation preference (again!);
  9866 
  9867 * Pure: fixed idt/idts vs. pttrn/pttrns syntactic categories;
  9868 
  9869 
  9870 *** HOL ***
  9871 
  9872 * HOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
  9873   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
  9874 
  9875 * HOL/TLA: Stephan Merz's formalization of Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions;
  9876 
  9877 * HOL/Auth: new protocol proofs including some for the Internet
  9878   protocol TLS;
  9879 
  9880 * HOL/Map: new theory of `maps' a la VDM;
  9881 
  9882 * HOL/simplifier: simplification procedures nat_cancel_sums for
  9883 cancelling out common nat summands from =, <, <= (in)equalities, or
  9884 differences; simplification procedures nat_cancel_factor for
  9885 cancelling common factor from =, <, <= (in)equalities over natural
  9886 sums; nat_cancel contains both kinds of procedures, it is installed by
  9887 default in Arith.thy -- this COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL;
  9888 
  9889 * HOL/simplifier: terms of the form
  9890   `? x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x)'  (or t=x)
  9891   are rewritten to
  9892   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t)',
  9893   and those of the form
  9894   `! x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x) --> R(x)'  (or t=x)
  9895   are rewritten to
  9896   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t) --> R(t)',
  9897 
  9898 * HOL/datatype
  9899   Each datatype `t' now comes with a theorem `split_t_case' of the form
  9900 
  9901   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
  9902      ( (!y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 --> P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) &
  9903         ...
  9904        (!y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn --> P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
  9905      )
  9906 
  9907   and a theorem `split_t_case_asm' of the form
  9908 
  9909   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
  9910     ~( (? y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 & ~P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) |
  9911         ...
  9912        (? y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn & ~P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
  9913      )
  9914   which can be added to a simpset via `addsplits'. The existing theorems
  9915   expand_list_case and expand_option_case have been renamed to
  9916   split_list_case and split_option_case.
  9917 
  9918 * HOL/Arithmetic:
  9919   - `pred n' is automatically converted to `n-1'.
  9920     Users are strongly encouraged not to use `pred' any longer,
  9921     because it will disappear altogether at some point.
  9922   - Users are strongly encouraged to write "0 < n" rather than
  9923     "n ~= 0". Theorems and proof tools have been modified towards this
  9924     `standard'.
  9925 
  9926 * HOL/Lists:
  9927   the function "set_of_list" has been renamed "set" (and its theorems too);
  9928   the function "nth" now takes its arguments in the reverse order and
  9929   has acquired the infix notation "!" as in "xs!n".
  9930 
  9931 * HOL/Set: UNIV is now a constant and is no longer translated to Compl{};
  9932 
  9933 * HOL/Set: The operator (UN x.B x) now abbreviates (UN x:UNIV. B x) and its
  9934   specialist theorems (like UN1_I) are gone.  Similarly for (INT x.B x);
  9935 
  9936 * HOL/record: extensible records with schematic structural subtyping
  9937 (single inheritance); EXPERIMENTAL version demonstrating the encoding,
  9938 still lacks various theorems and concrete record syntax;
  9939 
  9940 
  9941 *** HOLCF ***
  9942 
  9943 * removed "axioms" and "generated by" sections;
  9944 
  9945 * replaced "ops" section by extended "consts" section, which is capable of
  9946   handling the continuous function space "->" directly;
  9947 
  9948 * domain package:
  9949   . proves theorems immediately and stores them in the theory,
  9950   . creates hierachical name space,
  9951   . now uses normal mixfix annotations (instead of cinfix...),
  9952   . minor changes to some names and values (for consistency),
  9953   . e.g. cases -> casedist, dists_eq -> dist_eqs, [take_lemma] -> take_lemmas,
  9954   . separator between mutual domain defs: changed "," to "and",
  9955   . improved handling of sort constraints;  now they have to
  9956     appear on the left-hand side of the equations only;
  9957 
  9958 * fixed LAM <x,y,zs>.b syntax;
  9959 
  9960 * added extended adm_tac to simplifier in HOLCF -- can now discharge
  9961 adm (%x. P (t x)), where P is chainfinite and t continuous;
  9962 
  9963 
  9964 *** FOL and ZF ***
  9965 
  9966 * FOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
  9967   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
  9968 
  9969 * qed_spec_mp, qed_goal_spec_mp, qed_goalw_spec_mp are available, as
  9970 in HOL, they strip ALL and --> from proved theorems;
  9971 
  9972 
  9973 
  9974 New in Isabelle94-8 (May 1997)
  9975 ------------------------------
  9976 
  9977 *** General Changes ***
  9978 
  9979 * new utilities to build / run / maintain Isabelle etc. (in parts
  9980 still somewhat experimental); old Makefiles etc. still functional;
  9981 
  9982 * new 'Isabelle System Manual';
  9983 
  9984 * INSTALL text, together with ./configure and ./build scripts;
  9985 
  9986 * reimplemented type inference for greater efficiency, better error
  9987 messages and clean internal interface;
  9988 
  9989 * prlim command for dealing with lots of subgoals (an easier way of
  9990 setting goals_limit);
  9991 
  9992 
  9993 *** Syntax ***
  9994 
  9995 * supports alternative (named) syntax tables (parser and pretty
  9996 printer); internal interface is provided by add_modesyntax(_i);
  9997 
  9998 * Pure, FOL, ZF, HOL, HOLCF now support symbolic input and output; to
  9999 be used in conjunction with the Isabelle symbol font; uses the
 10000 "symbols" syntax table;
 10001 
 10002 * added token_translation interface (may translate name tokens in
 10003 arbitrary ways, dependent on their type (free, bound, tfree, ...) and
 10004 the current print_mode); IMPORTANT: user print translation functions
 10005 are responsible for marking newly introduced bounds
 10006 (Syntax.mark_boundT);
 10007 
 10008 * token translations for modes "xterm" and "xterm_color" that display
 10009 names in bold, underline etc. or colors (which requires a color
 10010 version of xterm);
 10011 
 10012 * infixes may now be declared with names independent of their syntax;
 10013 
 10014 * added typed_print_translation (like print_translation, but may
 10015 access type of constant);
 10016 
 10017 
 10018 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 10019 
 10020 Blast_tac: a new tactic!  It is often more powerful than fast_tac, but has
 10021 some limitations.  Blast_tac...
 10022   + ignores addss, addbefore, addafter; this restriction is intrinsic
 10023   + ignores elimination rules that don't have the correct format
 10024         (the conclusion MUST be a formula variable)
 10025   + ignores types, which can make HOL proofs fail
 10026   + rules must not require higher-order unification, e.g. apply_type in ZF
 10027     [message "Function Var's argument not a bound variable" relates to this]
 10028   + its proof strategy is more general but can actually be slower
 10029 
 10030 * substitution with equality assumptions no longer permutes other
 10031 assumptions;
 10032 
 10033 * minor changes in semantics of addafter (now called addaltern); renamed
 10034 setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to compWrapper; added safe wrapper
 10035 (and access functions for it);
 10036 
 10037 * improved combination of classical reasoner and simplifier:
 10038   + functions for handling clasimpsets
 10039   + improvement of addss: now the simplifier is called _after_ the
 10040     safe steps.
 10041   + safe variant of addss called addSss: uses safe simplifications
 10042     _during_ the safe steps. It is more complete as it allows multiple
 10043     instantiations of unknowns (e.g. with slow_tac).
 10044 
 10045 *** Simplifier ***
 10046 
 10047 * added interface for simplification procedures (functions that
 10048 produce *proven* rewrite rules on the fly, depending on current
 10049 redex);
 10050 
 10051 * ordering on terms as parameter (used for ordered rewriting);
 10052 
 10053 * new functions delcongs, deleqcongs, and Delcongs. richer rep_ss;
 10054 
 10055 * the solver is now split into a safe and an unsafe part.
 10056 This should be invisible for the normal user, except that the
 10057 functions setsolver and addsolver have been renamed to setSolver and
 10058 addSolver; added safe_asm_full_simp_tac;
 10059 
 10060 
 10061 *** HOL ***
 10062 
 10063 * a generic induction tactic `induct_tac' which works for all datatypes and
 10064 also for type `nat';
 10065 
 10066 * a generic case distinction tactic `exhaust_tac' which works for all
 10067 datatypes and also for type `nat';
 10068 
 10069 * each datatype comes with a function `size';
 10070 
 10071 * patterns in case expressions allow tuple patterns as arguments to
 10072 constructors, for example `case x of [] => ... | (x,y,z)#ps => ...';
 10073 
 10074 * primrec now also works with type nat;
 10075 
 10076 * recdef: a new declaration form, allows general recursive functions to be
 10077 defined in theory files.  See HOL/ex/Fib, HOL/ex/Primes, HOL/Subst/Unify.
 10078 
 10079 * the constant for negation has been renamed from "not" to "Not" to
 10080 harmonize with FOL, ZF, LK, etc.;
 10081 
 10082 * HOL/ex/LFilter theory of a corecursive "filter" functional for
 10083 infinite lists;
 10084 
 10085 * HOL/Modelcheck demonstrates invocation of model checker oracle;
 10086 
 10087 * HOL/ex/Ring.thy declares cring_simp, which solves equational
 10088 problems in commutative rings, using axiomatic type classes for + and *;
 10089 
 10090 * more examples in HOL/MiniML and HOL/Auth;
 10091 
 10092 * more default rewrite rules for quantifiers, union/intersection;
 10093 
 10094 * a new constant `arbitrary == @x.False';
 10095 
 10096 * HOLCF/IOA replaces old HOL/IOA;
 10097 
 10098 * HOLCF changes: derived all rules and arities
 10099   + axiomatic type classes instead of classes
 10100   + typedef instead of faking type definitions
 10101   + eliminated the internal constants less_fun, less_cfun, UU_fun, UU_cfun etc.
 10102   + new axclasses cpo, chfin, flat with flat < chfin < pcpo < cpo < po
 10103   + eliminated the types void, one, tr
 10104   + use unit lift and bool lift (with translations) instead of one and tr
 10105   + eliminated blift from Lift3.thy (use Def instead of blift)
 10106   all eliminated rules are derived as theorems --> no visible changes ;
 10107 
 10108 
 10109 *** ZF ***
 10110 
 10111 * ZF now has Fast_tac, Simp_tac and Auto_tac.  Union_iff is a now a default
 10112 rewrite rule; this may affect some proofs.  eq_cs is gone but can be put back
 10113 as ZF_cs addSIs [equalityI];
 10114 
 10115 
 10116 
 10117 New in Isabelle94-7 (November 96)
 10118 ---------------------------------
 10119 
 10120 * allowing negative levels (as offsets) in prlev and choplev;
 10121 
 10122 * super-linear speedup for large simplifications;
 10123 
 10124 * FOL, ZF and HOL now use miniscoping: rewriting pushes
 10125 quantifications in as far as possible (COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS
 10126 FAIL); can suppress it using the command Delsimps (ex_simps @
 10127 all_simps); De Morgan laws are also now included, by default;
 10128 
 10129 * improved printing of ==>  :  ~:
 10130 
 10131 * new object-logic "Sequents" adds linear logic, while replacing LK
 10132 and Modal (thanks to Sara Kalvala);
 10133 
 10134 * HOL/Auth: correctness proofs for authentication protocols;
 10135 
 10136 * HOL: new auto_tac combines rewriting and classical reasoning (many
 10137 examples on HOL/Auth);
 10138 
 10139 * HOL: new command AddIffs for declaring theorems of the form P=Q to
 10140 the rewriter and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 10141 
 10142 * function uresult no longer returns theorems in "standard" format;
 10143 regain previous version by: val uresult = standard o uresult;
 10144 
 10145 
 10146 
 10147 New in Isabelle94-6
 10148 -------------------
 10149 
 10150 * oracles -- these establish an interface between Isabelle and trusted
 10151 external reasoners, which may deliver results as theorems;
 10152 
 10153 * proof objects (in particular record all uses of oracles);
 10154 
 10155 * Simp_tac, Fast_tac, etc. that refer to implicit simpset / claset;
 10156 
 10157 * "constdefs" section in theory files;
 10158 
 10159 * "primrec" section (HOL) no longer requires names;
 10160 
 10161 * internal type "tactic" now simply "thm -> thm Sequence.seq";
 10162 
 10163 
 10164 
 10165 New in Isabelle94-5
 10166 -------------------
 10167 
 10168 * reduced space requirements;
 10169 
 10170 * automatic HTML generation from theories;
 10171 
 10172 * theory files no longer require "..." (quotes) around most types;
 10173 
 10174 * new examples, including two proofs of the Church-Rosser theorem;
 10175 
 10176 * non-curried (1994) version of HOL is no longer distributed;
 10177 
 10178 
 10179 
 10180 New in Isabelle94-4
 10181 -------------------
 10182 
 10183 * greatly reduced space requirements;
 10184 
 10185 * theory files (.thy) no longer require \...\ escapes at line breaks;
 10186 
 10187 * searchable theorem database (see the section "Retrieving theorems" on
 10188 page 8 of the Reference Manual);
 10189 
 10190 * new examples, including Grabczewski's monumental case study of the
 10191 Axiom of Choice;
 10192 
 10193 * The previous version of HOL renamed to Old_HOL;
 10194 
 10195 * The new version of HOL (previously called CHOL) uses a curried syntax
 10196 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b);
 10197 
 10198 * Mutually recursive inductive definitions finally work in HOL;
 10199 
 10200 * In ZF, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions and
 10201 translates to the operator "split";
 10202 
 10203 
 10204 
 10205 New in Isabelle94-3
 10206 -------------------
 10207 
 10208 * new infix operator, addss, allowing the classical reasoner to
 10209 perform simplification at each step of its search.  Example:
 10210         fast_tac (cs addss ss)
 10211 
 10212 * a new logic, CHOL, the same as HOL, but with a curried syntax
 10213 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b).  Also pairs
 10214 look like (a,b) instead of <a,b>;
 10215 
 10216 * PLEASE NOTE: CHOL will eventually replace HOL!
 10217 
 10218 * In CHOL, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions.
 10219 It translates to the operator "split".  A new theory of integers is available;
 10220 
 10221 * In ZF, integer numerals now denote two's-complement binary integers.
 10222 Arithmetic operations can be performed by rewriting.  See ZF/ex/Bin.ML;
 10223 
 10224 * Many new examples: I/O automata, Church-Rosser theorem, equivalents
 10225 of the Axiom of Choice;
 10226 
 10227 
 10228 
 10229 New in Isabelle94-2
 10230 -------------------
 10231 
 10232 * Significantly faster resolution;
 10233 
 10234 * the different sections in a .thy file can now be mixed and repeated
 10235 freely;
 10236 
 10237 * Database of theorems for FOL, HOL and ZF.  New
 10238 commands including qed, qed_goal and bind_thm store theorems in the database.
 10239 
 10240 * Simple database queries: return a named theorem (get_thm) or all theorems of
 10241 a given theory (thms_of), or find out what theory a theorem was proved in
 10242 (theory_of_thm);
 10243 
 10244 * Bugs fixed in the inductive definition and datatype packages;
 10245 
 10246 * The classical reasoner provides deepen_tac and depth_tac, making FOL_dup_cs
 10247 and HOL_dup_cs obsolete;
 10248 
 10249 * Syntactic ambiguities caused by the new treatment of syntax in Isabelle94-1
 10250 have been removed;
 10251 
 10252 * Simpler definition of function space in ZF;
 10253 
 10254 * new results about cardinal and ordinal arithmetic in ZF;
 10255 
 10256 * 'subtype' facility in HOL for introducing new types as subsets of existing
 10257 types;
