     1 Isabelle NEWS -- history user-relevant changes
     2 ==============================================
     3 
     4 New in this Isabelle version
     5 ----------------------------
     6 
     7 *** General ***
     8 
     9 * Document antiquotation @{url} produces markup for the given URL,
    10 which results in an active hyperlink within the text.
    11 
    12 * Document antiquotation @{file_unchecked} is like @{file}, but does
    13 not check existence within the file-system.
    14 
    15 * Discontinued legacy_isub_isup, which was a temporary Isabelle/ML
    16 workaround in Isabelle2013-1.  The prover process no longer accepts
    17 old identifier syntax with \<^isub> or \<^isup>.
    18 
    19 * Syntax of document antiquotation @{rail} now uses \<newline> instead
    20 of "\\", to avoid the optical illusion of escaped backslash within
    21 string token.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    22 
    23 * Lexical syntax (inner and outer) supports text cartouches with
    24 arbitrary nesting, and without escapes of quotes etc.  The Prover IDE
    25 supports input methods via ` (backquote), or << and >> (double angle
    26 brackets).
    27 
    28 * The outer syntax categories "text" (for formal comments and document
    29 markup commands) and "altstring" (for literal fact references) allow
    30 cartouches as well, in addition to the traditional mix of quotations.
    31 
    32 * More static checking of proof methods, which allows the system to
    33 form a closure over the concrete syntax.  Method arguments should be
    34 processed in the original proof context as far as possible, before
    35 operating on the goal state.  In any case, the standard discipline for
    36 subgoal-addressing needs to be observed: no subgoals or a subgoal
    37 number that is out of range produces an empty result sequence, not an
    38 exception.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for non-conformant tactical
    39 proof tools.
    40 
    41 * Command 'SML_file' reads and evaluates the given Standard ML file.
    42 Toplevel bindings are stored within the theory context; the initial
    43 environment is restricted to the Standard ML implementation of
    44 Poly/ML, without the add-ons of Isabelle/ML.  See also
    45 ~~/src/Tools/SML/Examples.thy for some basic examples.
    46 
    47 
    48 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
    49 
    50 * Improved syntactic and semantic completion mechanism:
    51 
    52   - No completion for Isar keywords that have already been recognized
    53     by the prover, e.g. ":" within accepted Isar syntax looses its
    54     meaning as abbreviation for symbol "\<in>".
    55 
    56   - Completion context provides information about embedded languages
    57     of Isabelle: keywords are only completed for outer syntax, symbols
    58     or antiquotations for languages that support them.  E.g. no symbol
    59     completion for ML source, but within ML strings, comments,
    60     antiquotations.
    61 
    62   - Support for semantic completion based on failed name space lookup.
    63     The error produced by the prover contains information about
    64     alternative names that are accessible in a particular position.
    65     This may be used with explicit completion (C+b) or implicit
    66     completion after some delay.
    67 
    68   - Semantic completions may get extended by appending a suffix of
    69     underscores to an already recognized name, e.g. "foo_" to complete
    70     "foo" or "foobar" if these are known in the context.  The special
    71     identifier "__" serves as a wild-card in this respect: it
    72     completes to the full collection of names from the name space
    73     (truncated according to the system option "completion_limit").
    74 
    75   - Syntax completion of the editor and semantic completion of the
    76     prover are merged.  Since the latter requires a full round-trip of
    77     document update to arrive, the default for option
    78     jedit_completion_delay has been changed to 0.5s to improve the
    79     user experience.
    80 
    81   - Option jedit_completion_immediate may now get used with
    82     jedit_completion_delay > 0, to complete symbol abbreviations
    83     aggressively while benefiting from combined syntactic and semantic
    84     completion.
    85 
    86   - Support for simple completion templates (with single
    87     place-holder), e.g. "`" for text cartouche, or "@{" for
    88     antiquotation.
    89 
    90   - Improved treatment of completion vs. various forms of jEdit text
    91     selection (multiple selections, rectangular selections,
    92     rectangular selection as "tall caret").
    93 
    94   - More reliable treatment of GUI events vs. completion popups: avoid
    95     loosing keystrokes with slow / remote graphics displays.
    96 
    97 * Auxiliary files ('ML_file' etc.) are managed by the Prover IDE.
    98 Open text buffers take precedence over copies within the file-system.
    99 
   100 * Improved support for Isabelle/ML, with jEdit mode "isabelle-ml" for
   101 auxiliary ML files.
   102 
   103 * Document panel: simplied interaction where every single mouse click
   104 (re)opens document via desktop environment or as jEdit buffer.
   105 
   106 * Option "jedit_print_mode" (see also "Plugin Options / Isabelle /
   107 General") allows to specify additional print modes for the prover
   108 process, without requiring old-fashioned command-line invocation of
   109 "isabelle jedit -m MODE".
   110 
   111 * New panel: Simplifier trace.  Provides an interactive view of the
   112 simplification process, enabled by the newly-introduced
   113 "simplifier_trace" declaration.
   114 
   115 * Support for Navigator plugin (with toolbar buttons).
   116 
   117 * More support for remote files (e.g. http) using standard Java
   118 networking operations instead of jEdit virtual file-systems.
   119 
   120 
   121 *** Pure ***
   122 
   123 * Basic constants of Pure use more conventional names and are always
   124 qualified.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY, but with potentially serious
   125 consequences, notably for tools in Isabelle/ML.  The following
   126 renaming needs to be applied:
   127 
   128   ==             ~>  Pure.eq
   129   ==>            ~>  Pure.imp
   130   all            ~>  Pure.all
   131   TYPE           ~>  Pure.type
   132   dummy_pattern  ~>  Pure.dummy_pattern
   133 
   134 Systematic porting works by using the following theory setup on a
   135 *previous* Isabelle version to introduce the new name accesses for the
   136 old constants:
   137 
   138 setup {*
   139   fn thy => thy
   140     |> Sign.root_path
   141     |> Sign.const_alias (Binding.qualify true "Pure" @{binding eq}) "=="
   142     |> Sign.const_alias (Binding.qualify true "Pure" @{binding imp}) "==>"
   143     |> Sign.const_alias (Binding.qualify true "Pure" @{binding all}) "all"
   144     |> Sign.restore_naming thy
   145 *}
   146 
   147 Thus ML antiquotations like @{const_name Pure.eq} may be used already.
   148 Later the application is moved to the current Isabelle version, and
   149 the auxiliary aliases are deleted.
   150 
   151 * Low-level type-class commands 'classes', 'classrel', 'arities' have
   152 been discontinued to avoid the danger of non-trivial axiomatization
   153 that is not immediately visible.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use regular
   154 'instance' with proof.  The required OFCLASS(...) theorem might be
   155 postulated via 'axiomatization' beforehand, or the proof finished
   156 trivially if the underlying class definition is made vacuous (without
   157 any assumptions).  See also Isabelle/ML operations
   158 Axclass.axiomatize_class, Axclass.axiomatize_classrel,
   159 Axclass.axiomatize_arity.
   160 
   161 * Attributes "where" and "of" allow an optional context of local
   162 variables ('for' declaration): these variables become schematic in the
   163 instantiated theorem.
   164 
   165 * Obsolete attribute "standard" has been discontinued (legacy since
   166 Isabelle2012).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use explicit 'for' context
   167 where instantiations with schematic variables are intended (for
   168 declaration commands like 'lemmas' or attributes like "of").  The
   169 following temporary definition may help to port old applications:
   170 
   171   attribute_setup standard =
   172     "Scan.succeed (Thm.rule_attribute (K Drule.export_without_context))"
   173 
   174 * More thorough check of proof context for goal statements and
   175 attributed fact expressions (concerning background theory, declared
   176 hyps).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, tools need to observe standard
   177 context discipline.  See also Assumption.add_assumes and the more
   178 primitive Thm.assume_hyps.
   179 
   180 * Inner syntax token language allows regular quoted strings "..."
   181 (only makes sense in practice, if outer syntax is delimited
   182 differently).
   183 
   184 
   185 *** HOL ***
   186 
   187 * Elongated constants INFI and SUPR to INFIMUM and SUPREMUM.
   188 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   189 
   190 * Default congruence rules strong_INF_cong and strong_SUP_cong,
   191 with simplifier implication in premises.  Generalized and replace
   192 former INT_cong, SUP_cong.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   193 
   194 * Consolidated theorem names containing INFI and SUPR: have INF
   195 and SUP instead uniformly.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   196 
   197 * More aggressive normalization of expressions involving INF and Inf
   198 or SUP and Sup.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   199 
   200 * INF_image and SUP_image do not unfold composition.
   201 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   202 
   203 * Swapped orientation of facts image_comp and vimage_comp:
   204   image_compose ~> image_comp [symmetric]
   205   image_comp ~> image_comp [symmetric]
   206   vimage_compose ~> vimage_comp [symmetric]
   207   vimage_comp ~> vimage_comp [symmetric]
   208   INCOMPATIBILITY.
   209 
   210 * Simplifier: Enhanced solver of preconditions of rewrite rules
   211   can now deal with conjunctions.
   212   For help with converting proofs, the old behaviour of the simplifier
   213   can be restored like this:  declare/using [[simp_legacy_precond]]
   214   This configuration option will disappear again in the future.
   215 
   216 * Dropped facts INF_comp, SUP_comp.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   217 
   218 * HOL-Word:
   219   * Abandoned fact collection "word_arith_alts", which is a
   220   duplicate of "word_arith_wis".
   221   * Dropped first (duplicated) element in fact collections
   222   "sint_word_ariths", "word_arith_alts", "uint_word_ariths",
   223   "uint_word_arith_bintrs".
   224 
   225 * Code generator: explicit proof contexts in many ML interfaces.
   226 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   227 
   228 * Code generator: minimize exported identifiers by default.
   229 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   230 
   231 * Code generation for SML and OCaml: dropped arcane "no_signatures" option.
   232 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   233 
   234 * Simproc "finite_Collect" is no longer enabled by default, due to
   235 spurious crashes and other surprises.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
   236 
   237 * Moved new (co)datatype package and its dependencies from "HOL-BNF" to "HOL".
   238   The "bnf", "wrap_free_constructors", "datatype_new", "codatatype",
   239   "primcorec", and "primcorecursive" commands are now part of "Main".

   286     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   287 
   288 * Old datatype package:
   289   * The generated theorems "xxx.cases" and "xxx.recs" have been renamed
   290     "xxx.case" and "xxx.rec" (e.g., "sum.cases" -> "sum.case").
   291     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   292   * The generated constants "xxx_case" and "xxx_rec" have been renamed
   293     "case_xxx" and "rec_xxx" (e.g., "prod_case" ~> "case_prod").
   294     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   295 
   296 * The types "'a list" and "'a option", their set and map functions, their
   297   relators, and their selectors are now produced using the new BNF-based
   298   datatype package.
   299   Renamed constants:

   302     option_rel ~> rel_option
   303     option_rec ~> case_option

   309     list_all2_def ~> list_all2_iff
   310     set.simps ~> set_simps (or the slightly different "list.set")
   311     map.simps ~> list.map

   331 
   332 * Theory reorganizations:
   333   * Big_Operators.thy ~> Groups_Big.thy and Lattices_Big.thy
   334 
   335 * SMT module:
   336   * A new version of the SMT module, temporarily called "SMT2", uses SMT-LIB 2
   337     and supports recent versions of Z3 (e.g., 4.3). The new proof method is
   338     called "smt2", and the new Z3 is called "z3_new" in Sledgehammer and
   339     elsewhere.
   340 
   341 * Sledgehammer:
   342   - New prover "z3_new" with support for Isar proofs
   343   - New option:
   344       smt_proofs
   345   - Renamed options:
   346       isar_compress ~> compress_isar
   347       isar_try0 ~> try0_isar
   348     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   349 
   350 * Metis:
   351   - Removed legacy proof method 'metisFT'. Use 'metis (full_types)' instead.
   352     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   353 
   354 * Try0: Added 'algebra' and 'meson' to the set of proof methods.
   355 
   356 * Command renaming: enriched_type ~> functor. INCOMPATIBILITY.
   357 
   358 * The symbol "\<newline>" may be used within char or string literals
   359 to represent (Char Nibble0 NibbleA), i.e. ASCII newline.
   360 
   361 * Activation of Z3 now works via "z3_non_commercial" system option
   362 (without requiring restart), instead of former settings variable
   363 "Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL".  The option can be edited in Isabelle/jEdit menu
   364 Plugin Options / Isabelle / General.
   365 
   366 * "declare [[code abort: ...]]" replaces "code_abort ...".
   367 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   368 
   369 * "declare [[code drop: ...]]" drops all code equations associated
   370 with the given constants.
   371 
   372 * Abolished slightly odd global lattice interpretation for min/max.
   373 
   374 Fact consolidations:

   416 For min_max.inf_sup_aci, prefer (one of) min.commute, min.assoc,
   417 min.left_commute, min.left_idem, max.commute, max.assoc,
   418 max.left_commute, max.left_idem directly.
   419 
   420 For min_max.inf_sup_ord, prefer (one of) min.cobounded1, min.cobounded2,
   421 max.cobounded1m max.cobounded2 directly.
   422 
   423 For min_ac or max_ac, prefor more general collection ac_simps.
   424 
   425 INCOMPATBILITY. 
   426 
   427 * Word library: bit representations prefer type bool over type bit.
   428 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   429 
   430 * Theorem disambiguation Inf_le_Sup (on finite sets) ~> Inf_fin_le_Sup_fin.
   431 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   432 
   433 * Code generations are provided for make, fields, extend and truncate
   434 operations on records.
   435 
   436 * Qualified constant names Wellfounded.acc, Wellfounded.accp.
   437 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   438 
   439 * Fact generalization and consolidation:
   440     neq_one_mod_two, mod_2_not_eq_zero_eq_one_int ~> not_mod_2_eq_0_eq_1
   441 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   442 
   443 * Purely algebraic definition of even.  Fact generalization and consolidation:
   444     nat_even_iff_2_dvd, int_even_iff_2_dvd ~> even_iff_2_dvd
   445     even_zero_(nat|int) ~> even_zero
   446 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   447 
   448 * Abolished neg_numeral.
   449   * Canonical representation for minus one is "- 1".
   450   * Canonical representation for other negative numbers is "- (numeral _)".
   451   * When devising rule sets for number calculation, consider the
   452     following canonical cases: 0, 1, numeral _, - 1, - numeral _.
   453   * HOLogic.dest_number also recognizes numerals in non-canonical forms
   454     like "numeral One", "- numeral One", "- 0" and even "- ... - _".
   455   * Syntax for negative numerals is mere input syntax.
   456 INCOMPATBILITY.
   457 
   458 * Elimination of fact duplicates:
   459     equals_zero_I ~> minus_unique
   460     diff_eq_0_iff_eq ~> right_minus_eq
   461     nat_infinite ~> infinite_UNIV_nat

   470     less_minus_self_iff ~> less_neg_neg [simp]
   471 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   472 
   473 * More simplification rules on unary and binary minus:
   474 add_diff_cancel, add_diff_cancel_left, add_le_same_cancel1,
   475 add_le_same_cancel2, add_less_same_cancel1, add_less_same_cancel2,
   476 add_minus_cancel, diff_add_cancel, le_add_same_cancel1,
   477 le_add_same_cancel2, less_add_same_cancel1, less_add_same_cancel2,
   478 minus_add_cancel, uminus_add_conv_diff.  These correspondingly
   479 have been taken away from fact collections algebra_simps and
   480 field_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   481 
   482 To restore proofs, the following patterns are helpful:
   483 
   484 a) Arbitrary failing proof not involving "diff_def":
   485 Consider simplification with algebra_simps or field_simps.
   486 
   487 b) Lifting rules from addition to subtraction:
   488 Try with "using <rule for addition> of [... "- _" ...]" by simp".
   489 
   490 c) Simplification with "diff_def": just drop "diff_def".
   491 Consider simplification with algebra_simps or field_simps;
   492 or the brute way with
   493 "simp add: diff_conv_add_uminus del: add_uminus_conv_diff".
   494 
   495 * SUP and INF generalized to conditionally_complete_lattice
   496 
   497 * Theory Lubs moved HOL image to HOL-Library. It is replaced by
   498 Conditionally_Complete_Lattices.   INCOMPATIBILITY.
   499 
   500 * Introduce bdd_above and bdd_below in Conditionally_Complete_Lattices, use them
   501 instead of explicitly stating boundedness of sets.
   502 
   503 * ccpo.admissible quantifies only over non-empty chains to allow
   504 more syntax-directed proof rules; the case of the empty chain
   505 shows up as additional case in fixpoint induction proofs.
   506 INCOMPATIBILITY
   507 
   508 * Removed and renamed theorems in Series:
   509   summable_le         ~>  suminf_le
   510   suminf_le           ~>  suminf_le_const
   511   series_pos_le       ~>  setsum_le_suminf

   517   suminf_0_le         ~>  suminf_nonneg [rotate]
   518   pos_summable        ~>  summableI_nonneg_bounded
   519   ratio_test          ~>  summable_ratio_test
   520 
   521   removed series_zero, replaced by sums_finite
   522 
   523   removed auxiliary lemmas:
   524     sumr_offset, sumr_offset2, sumr_offset3, sumr_offset4, sumr_group,
   525     half, le_Suc_ex_iff, lemma_realpow_diff_sumr, real_setsum_nat_ivl_bounded,
   526     summable_le2, ratio_test_lemma2, sumr_minus_one_realpow_zerom,
   527     sumr_one_lb_realpow_zero, summable_convergent_sumr_iff, sumr_diff_mult_const
   528 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   529 
   530 * Replace (F)DERIV syntax by has_derivative:
   531   - "(f has_derivative f') (at x within s)" replaces "FDERIV f x : s : f'"
   532 
   533   - "(f has_field_derivative f') (at x within s)" replaces "DERIV f x : s : f'"
   534 
   535   - "f differentiable at x within s" replaces "_ differentiable _ in _" syntax
   536 
   537   - removed constant isDiff
   538 
   539   - "DERIV f x : f'" and "FDERIV f x : f'" syntax is only available as input
   540     syntax.
   541 
   542   - "DERIV f x : s : f'" and "FDERIV f x : s : f'" syntax removed
   543 
   544   - Renamed FDERIV_... lemmas to has_derivative_...
   545 
   546   - renamed deriv (the syntax constant used for "DERIV _ _ :> _") to DERIV
   547 
   548   - removed DERIV_intros, has_derivative_eq_intros
   549 
   550   - introduced derivative_intros and deriative_eq_intros which includes now rules for
   551     DERIV, has_derivative and has_vector_derivative.
   552 
   553   - Other renamings:
   554     differentiable_def        ~>  real_differentiable_def
   555     differentiableE           ~>  real_differentiableE
   556     fderiv_def                ~>  has_derivative_at
   557     field_fderiv_def          ~>  field_has_derivative_at
   558     isDiff_der                ~>  differentiable_def
   559     deriv_fderiv              ~>  has_field_derivative_def
   560     deriv_def                 ~>  DERIV_def
   561 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   562 
   563 * Include more theorems in continuous_intros. Remove the continuous_on_intros,
   564   isCont_intros collections, these facts are now in continuous_intros.
   565 
   566 * Removed solvers remote_cvc3 and remote_z3. Use cvc3 and z3 instead.
   567 
   568 * Nitpick:
   569   - Fixed soundness bug whereby mutually recursive datatypes could take
   570     infinite values.
   571   - Fixed soundness bug with low-level number functions such as "Abs_Integ" and
   572     "Rep_Integ".
   573   - Removed "std" option.
   574   - Renamed "show_datatypes" to "show_types" and "hide_datatypes" to
   575     "hide_types".
   576 
   577 * HOL-Multivariate_Analysis:
   578   - type class ordered_real_vector for ordered vector spaces
   579   - changed order of ordered_euclidean_space to be compatible with
   580     pointwise ordering on products. Therefore instance of
   581     conditionally_complete_lattice and ordered_real_vector.
   582     INCOMPATIBILITY: use box instead of greaterThanLessThan or
   583     explicit set-comprehensions with eucl_less for other (half-) open
   584     intervals.
   585 
   586   - renamed theorems:
   587     derivative_linear         ~>  has_derivative_bounded_linear
   588     derivative_is_linear      ~>  has_derivative_linear
   589     bounded_linear_imp_linear ~>  bounded_linear.linear
   590 
   591 
   592 *** Scala ***
   593 
   594 * The signature and semantics of Document.Snapshot.cumulate_markup /
   595 select_markup have been clarified.  Markup is now traversed in the
   596 order of reports given by the prover: later markup is usually more
   597 specific and may override results accumulated so far.  The elements
   598 guard is mandatory and checked precisely.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
   599 
   600 
   601 *** ML ***
   602 
   603 * Moved ML_Compiler.exn_trace and other operations on exceptions to
   604 structure Runtime.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   605 
   606 * Discontinued old Toplevel.debug in favour of system option
   607 "ML_exception_trace", which may be also declared within the context via
   608 "declare [[ML_exception_trace = true]]".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   609 
   610 * Renamed configuration option "ML_trace" to "ML_source_trace". Minor
   611 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   612 
   613 * Configuration option "ML_print_depth" controls the pretty-printing
   614 depth of the ML compiler within the context.  The old print_depth in
   615 ML is still available as default_print_depth, but rarely used.  Minor
   616 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   617 
   618 * Proper context discipline for read_instantiate and instantiate_tac:
   619 variables that are meant to become schematic need to be given as
   620 fixed, and are generalized by the explicit context of local variables.
   621 This corresponds to Isar attributes "where" and "of" with 'for'
   622 declaration.  INCOMPATIBILITY, also due to potential change of indices
   623 of schematic variables.
   624 
   625 * Toplevel function "use" refers to raw ML bootstrap environment,
   626 without Isar context nor antiquotations.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
   627 Note that 'ML_file' is the canonical command to load ML files into the
   628 formal context.
   629 
   630 * Proper context for basic Simplifier operations: rewrite_rule,
   631 rewrite_goals_rule, rewrite_goals_tac etc. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to
   632 pass runtime Proof.context (and ensure that the simplified entity
   633 actually belongs to it).
   634 
   635 * Subtle change of semantics of Thm.eq_thm: theory stamps are not
   636 compared (according to Thm.thm_ord), but assumed to be covered by the
   637 current background theory.  Thus equivalent data produced in different
   638 branches of the theory graph usually coincides (e.g. relevant for
   639 theory merge).  Note that the softer Thm.eq_thm_prop is often more
   640 appropriate than Thm.eq_thm.
   641 
   642 * Simplified programming interface to define ML antiquotations, see
   643 structure ML_Antiquotation.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   644 
   645 * ML antiquotation @{here} refers to its source position, which is
   646 occasionally useful for experimentation and diagnostic purposes.
   647 
   648 * ML antiquotation @{path} produces a Path.T value, similarly to
   649 Path.explode, but with compile-time check against the file-system and
   650 some PIDE markup.  Note that unlike theory source, ML does not have a
   651 well-defined master directory, so an absolute symbolic path
   652 specification is usually required, e.g. "~~/src/HOL".
   653 
   654 * ML antiquotation @{print} inlines a function to print an arbitrary
   655 ML value, which is occasionally useful for diagnostic or demonstration
   656 purposes.
   657 
   658 
   659 *** System ***
   660 
   661 * Simplified "isabelle display" tool.  Settings variables DVI_VIEWER
   662 and PDF_VIEWER now refer to the actual programs, not shell
   663 command-lines.  Discontinued option -c: invocation may be asynchronous
   664 via desktop environment, without any special precautions.  Potential
   665 INCOMPATIBILITY with ambitious private settings.
   666 
   667 * Improved 'display_drafts' concerning desktop integration and
   668 repeated invocation in PIDE front-end: re-use single file
   669 $ISABELLE_HOME_USER/tmp/drafts.pdf and corresponding views.
   670 
   671 * The raw Isabelle process executable has been renamed from
   672 "isabelle-process" to "isabelle_process", which conforms to common
   673 shell naming conventions, and allows to define a shell function within
   674 the Isabelle environment to avoid dynamic path lookup.  Rare
   675 incompatibility for old tools that do not use the $ISABELLE_PROCESS
   676 settings variable yet.
   677 
   678 
   679 
   680 New in Isabelle2013-2 (December 2013)
   681 -------------------------------------
   682 
   683 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
   684 
   685 * More robust editing of running commands with internal forks,
   686 e.g. non-terminating 'by' steps.
   687 
   688 * More relaxed Sledgehammer panel: avoid repeated application of query
   689 after edits surrounding the command location.
   690 
   691 * More status information about commands that are interrupted
   692 accidentally (via physical event or Poly/ML runtime system signal,
   693 e.g. out-of-memory).
   694 
   695 
   696 *** System ***
   697 
   698 * More robust termination of external processes managed by
   699 Isabelle/ML: support cancellation of tasks within the range of
   700 milliseconds, as required for PIDE document editing with automatically
   701 tried tools (e.g. Sledgehammer).
   702 
   703 * Reactivated Isabelle/Scala kill command for external processes on
   704 Mac OS X, which was accidentally broken in Isabelle2013-1 due to a
   705 workaround for some Debian/Ubuntu Linux versions from 2013.
   706 
   707 
   708 
   709 New in Isabelle2013-1 (November 2013)
   710 -------------------------------------
   711 
   712 *** General ***
   713 
   714 * Discontinued obsolete 'uses' within theory header.  Note that
   715 commands like 'ML_file' work without separate declaration of file
   716 dependencies.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   717 
   718 * Discontinued redundant 'use' command, which was superseded by
   719 'ML_file' in Isabelle2013.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   720 
   721 * Simplified subscripts within identifiers, using plain \<^sub>
   722 instead of the second copy \<^isub> and \<^isup>.  Superscripts are
   723 only for literal tokens within notation; explicit mixfix annotations
   724 for consts or fixed variables may be used as fall-back for unusual
   725 names.  Obsolete \<twosuperior> has been expanded to \<^sup>2 in
   726 Isabelle/HOL.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "isabelle update_sub_sup" to
   727 standardize symbols as a starting point for further manual cleanup.
   728 The ML reference variable "legacy_isub_isup" may be set as temporary
   729 workaround, to make the prover accept a subset of the old identifier
   730 syntax.
   731 
   732 * Document antiquotations: term style "isub" has been renamed to
   733 "sub".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   734 
   735 * Uniform management of "quick_and_dirty" as system option (see also
   736 "isabelle options"), configuration option within the context (see also
   737 Config.get in Isabelle/ML), and attribute in Isabelle/Isar.  Minor
   738 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use more official Isabelle means to access
   739 quick_and_dirty, instead of historical poking into mutable reference.
   740 
   741 * Renamed command 'print_configs' to 'print_options'.  Minor
   742 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   743 
   744 * Proper diagnostic command 'print_state'.  Old 'pr' (with its
   745 implicit change of some global references) is retained for now as
   746 control command, e.g. for ProofGeneral 3.7.x.
   747 
   748 * Discontinued 'print_drafts' command with its old-fashioned PS output
   749 and Unix command-line print spooling.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: use
   750 'display_drafts' instead and print via the regular document viewer.
   751 
   752 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual,
   753 eliminated old "ref" manual.
   754 
   755 
   756 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
   757 
   758 * New manual "jedit" for Isabelle/jEdit, see isabelle doc or
   759 Documentation panel.
   760 
   761 * Dockable window "Documentation" provides access to Isabelle
   762 documentation.
   763 
   764 * Dockable window "Find" provides query operations for formal entities
   765 (GUI front-end to 'find_theorems' command).
   766 
   767 * Dockable window "Sledgehammer" manages asynchronous / parallel
   768 sledgehammer runs over existing document sources, independently of
   769 normal editing and checking process.
   770 
   771 * Dockable window "Timing" provides an overview of relevant command
   772 timing information, depending on option jedit_timing_threshold.  The
   773 same timing information is shown in the extended tooltip of the
   774 command keyword, when hovering the mouse over it while the CONTROL or
   775 COMMAND modifier is pressed.
   776 
   777 * Improved dockable window "Theories": Continuous checking of proof
   778 document (visible and required parts) may be controlled explicitly,
   779 using check box or shortcut "C+e ENTER".  Individual theory nodes may
   780 be marked explicitly as required and checked in full, using check box
   781 or shortcut "C+e SPACE".
   782 
   783 * Improved completion mechanism, which is now managed by the
   784 Isabelle/jEdit plugin instead of SideKick.  Refined table of Isabelle
   785 symbol abbreviations (see $ISABELLE_HOME/etc/symbols).
   786 
   787 * Standard jEdit keyboard shortcut C+b complete-word is remapped to
   788 isabelle.complete for explicit completion in Isabelle sources.
   789 INCOMPATIBILITY wrt. jEdit defaults, may have to invent new shortcuts
   790 to resolve conflict.
   791 
   792 * Improved support of various "minor modes" for Isabelle NEWS,
   793 options, session ROOT etc., with completion and SideKick tree view.
   794 
   795 * Strictly monotonic document update, without premature cancellation of
   796 running transactions that are still needed: avoid reset/restart of
   797 such command executions while editing.
   798 
   799 * Support for asynchronous print functions, as overlay to existing
   800 document content.
   801 
   802 * Support for automatic tools in HOL, which try to prove or disprove
   803 toplevel theorem statements.
   804 
   805 * Action isabelle.reset-font-size resets main text area font size
   806 according to Isabelle/Scala plugin option "jedit_font_reset_size" (see
   807 also "Plugin Options / Isabelle / General").  It can be bound to some
   808 keyboard shortcut by the user (e.g. C+0 and/or C+NUMPAD0).
   809 
   810 * File specifications in jEdit (e.g. file browser) may refer to
   811 $ISABELLE_HOME and $ISABELLE_HOME_USER on all platforms.  Discontinued
   812 obsolete $ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS variable.
   813 
   814 * Improved support for Linux look-and-feel "GTK+", see also "Utilities
   815 / Global Options / Appearance".
   816 
   817 * Improved support of native Mac OS X functionality via "MacOSX"
   818 plugin, which is now enabled by default.
   819 
   820 
   821 *** Pure ***
   822 
   823 * Commands 'interpretation' and 'sublocale' are now target-sensitive.
   824 In particular, 'interpretation' allows for non-persistent
   825 interpretation within "context ... begin ... end" blocks offering a
   826 light-weight alternative to 'sublocale'.  See "isar-ref" manual for
   827 details.
   828 
   829 * Improved locales diagnostic command 'print_dependencies'.
   830 
   831 * Discontinued obsolete 'axioms' command, which has been marked as
   832 legacy since Isabelle2009-2.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use 'axiomatization'
   833 instead, while observing its uniform scope for polymorphism.
   834 
   835 * Discontinued empty name bindings in 'axiomatization'.
   836 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   837 
   838 * System option "proofs" has been discontinued.  Instead the global
   839 state of Proofterm.proofs is persistently compiled into logic images
   840 as required, notably HOL-Proofs.  Users no longer need to change
   841 Proofterm.proofs dynamically.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   842 
   843 * Syntax translation functions (print_translation etc.) always depend
   844 on Proof.context.  Discontinued former "(advanced)" option -- this is
   845 now the default.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   846 
   847 * Former global reference trace_unify_fail is now available as
   848 configuration option "unify_trace_failure" (global context only).
   849 
   850 * SELECT_GOAL now retains the syntactic context of the overall goal
   851 state (schematic variables etc.).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare
   852 situations.
   853 
   854 
   855 *** HOL ***
   856 
   857 * Stronger precedence of syntax for big intersection and union on
   858 sets, in accordance with corresponding lattice operations.
   859 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   860 
   861 * Notation "{p:A. P}" now allows tuple patterns as well.
   862 
   863 * Nested case expressions are now translated in a separate check phase
   864 rather than during parsing. The data for case combinators is separated
   865 from the datatype package. The declaration attribute
   866 "case_translation" can be used to register new case combinators:
   867 
   868   declare [[case_translation case_combinator constructor1 ... constructorN]]
   869 
   870 * Code generator:
   871   - 'code_printing' unifies 'code_const' / 'code_type' / 'code_class' /
   872     'code_instance'.
   873   - 'code_identifier' declares name hints for arbitrary identifiers in
   874     generated code, subsuming 'code_modulename'.
   875 
   876 See the isar-ref manual for syntax diagrams, and the HOL theories for
   877 examples.
   878 
   879 * Attibute 'code': 'code' now declares concrete and abstract code
   880 equations uniformly.  Use explicit 'code equation' and 'code abstract'
   881 to distinguish both when desired.
   882 
   883 * Discontinued theories Code_Integer and Efficient_Nat by a more
   884 fine-grain stack of theories Code_Target_Int, Code_Binary_Nat,
   885 Code_Target_Nat and Code_Target_Numeral.  See the tutorial on code
   886 generation for details.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   887 
   888 * Numeric types are mapped by default to target language numerals:
   889 natural (replaces former code_numeral) and integer (replaces former
   890 code_int).  Conversions are available as integer_of_natural /
   891 natural_of_integer / integer_of_nat / nat_of_integer (in HOL) and
   892 Code_Numeral.integer_of_natural / Code_Numeral.natural_of_integer (in
   893 ML).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   894 
   895 * Function package: For mutually recursive functions f and g, separate
   896 cases rules f.cases and g.cases are generated instead of unusable
   897 f_g.cases which exposed internal sum types. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
   898 in the case that the unusable rule was used nevertheless.
   899 
   900 * Function package: For each function f, new rules f.elims are
   901 generated, which eliminate equalities of the form "f x = t".
   902 
   903 * New command 'fun_cases' derives ad-hoc elimination rules for
   904 function equations as simplified instances of f.elims, analogous to
   905 inductive_cases.  See ~~/src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy for some examples.
   906 
   907 * Lifting:
   908   - parametrized correspondence relations are now supported:
   909     + parametricity theorems for the raw term can be specified in
   910       the command lift_definition, which allow us to generate stronger
   911       transfer rules
   912     + setup_lifting generates stronger transfer rules if parametric
   913       correspondence relation can be generated
   914     + various new properties of the relator must be specified to support
   915       parametricity
   916     + parametricity theorem for the Quotient relation can be specified
   917   - setup_lifting generates domain rules for the Transfer package
   918   - stronger reflexivity prover of respectfulness theorems for type
   919     copies
   920   - ===> and --> are now local. The symbols can be introduced
   921     by interpreting the locale lifting_syntax (typically in an
   922     anonymous context)
   923   - Lifting/Transfer relevant parts of Library/Quotient_* are now in
   924     Main. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
   925   - new commands for restoring and deleting Lifting/Transfer context:
   926     lifting_forget, lifting_update
   927   - the command print_quotmaps was renamed to print_quot_maps.
   928     INCOMPATIBILITY
   929 
   930 * Transfer:
   931   - better support for domains in Transfer: replace Domainp T
   932     by the actual invariant in a transferred goal
   933   - transfer rules can have as assumptions other transfer rules
   934   - Experimental support for transferring from the raw level to the
   935     abstract level: Transfer.transferred attribute
   936   - Attribute version of the transfer method: untransferred attribute
   937 
   938 * Reification and reflection:
   939   - Reification is now directly available in HOL-Main in structure
   940     "Reification".
   941   - Reflection now handles multiple lists with variables also.
   942   - The whole reflection stack has been decomposed into conversions.
   943 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   944 
   945 * Revised devices for recursive definitions over finite sets:
   946   - Only one fundamental fold combinator on finite set remains:
   947     Finite_Set.fold :: ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
   948     This is now identity on infinite sets.
   949   - Locales ("mini packages") for fundamental definitions with
   950     Finite_Set.fold: folding, folding_idem.
   951   - Locales comm_monoid_set, semilattice_order_set and
   952     semilattice_neutr_order_set for big operators on sets.
   953     See theory Big_Operators for canonical examples.
   954     Note that foundational constants comm_monoid_set.F and
   955     semilattice_set.F correspond to former combinators fold_image
   956     and fold1 respectively.  These are now gone.  You may use
   957     those foundational constants as substitutes, but it is
   958     preferable to interpret the above locales accordingly.
   959   - Dropped class ab_semigroup_idem_mult (special case of lattice,
   960     no longer needed in connection with Finite_Set.fold etc.)
   961   - Fact renames:
   962       card.union_inter ~> card_Un_Int [symmetric]
   963       card.union_disjoint ~> card_Un_disjoint
   964 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   965 
   966 * Locale hierarchy for abstract orderings and (semi)lattices.
   967 
   968 * Complete_Partial_Order.admissible is defined outside the type class
   969 ccpo, but with mandatory prefix ccpo. Admissibility theorems lose the
   970 class predicate assumption or sort constraint when possible.
   971 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   972 
   973 * Introduce type class "conditionally_complete_lattice": Like a
   974 complete lattice but does not assume the existence of the top and
   975 bottom elements.  Allows to generalize some lemmas about reals and
   976 extended reals.  Removed SupInf and replaced it by the instantiation
   977 of conditionally_complete_lattice for real. Renamed lemmas about
   978 conditionally-complete lattice from Sup_... to cSup_... and from
   979 Inf_...  to cInf_... to avoid hidding of similar complete lattice
   980 lemmas.
   981 
   982 * Introduce type class linear_continuum as combination of
   983 conditionally-complete lattices and inner dense linorders which have
   984 more than one element.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   985 
   986 * Introduced type classes order_top and order_bot. The old classes top
   987 and bot only contain the syntax without assumptions.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
   988 Rename bot -> order_bot, top -> order_top
   989 
   990 * Introduce type classes "no_top" and "no_bot" for orderings without
   991 top and bottom elements.
   992 
   993 * Split dense_linorder into inner_dense_order and no_top, no_bot.
   994 
   995 * Complex_Main: Unify and move various concepts from
   996 HOL-Multivariate_Analysis to HOL-Complex_Main.
   997 
   998  - Introduce type class (lin)order_topology and
   999    linear_continuum_topology.  Allows to generalize theorems about
  1000    limits and order.  Instances are reals and extended reals.
  1001 
  1002  - continuous and continuos_on from Multivariate_Analysis:
  1003    "continuous" is the continuity of a function at a filter.  "isCont"
  1004    is now an abbrevitation: "isCont x f == continuous (at _) f".
  1005 
  1006    Generalized continuity lemmas from isCont to continuous on an
  1007    arbitrary filter.
  1008 
  1009  - compact from Multivariate_Analysis. Use Bolzano's lemma to prove
  1010    compactness of closed intervals on reals. Continuous functions
  1011    attain infimum and supremum on compact sets. The inverse of a
  1012    continuous function is continuous, when the function is continuous
  1013    on a compact set.
  1014 
  1015  - connected from Multivariate_Analysis. Use it to prove the
  1016    intermediate value theorem. Show connectedness of intervals on
  1017    linear_continuum_topology).
  1018 
  1019  - first_countable_topology from Multivariate_Analysis. Is used to
  1020    show equivalence of properties on the neighbourhood filter of x and
  1021    on all sequences converging to x.
  1022 
  1023  - FDERIV: Definition of has_derivative moved to Deriv.thy. Moved
  1024    theorems from Library/FDERIV.thy to Deriv.thy and base the
  1025    definition of DERIV on FDERIV. Add variants of DERIV and FDERIV
  1026    which are restricted to sets, i.e. to represent derivatives from
  1027    left or right.
  1028 
  1029  - Removed the within-filter. It is replaced by the principal filter:
  1030 
  1031      F within X = inf F (principal X)
  1032 
  1033  - Introduce "at x within U" as a single constant, "at x" is now an
  1034    abbreviation for "at x within UNIV"
  1035 
  1036  - Introduce named theorem collections tendsto_intros,
  1037    continuous_intros, continuous_on_intros and FDERIV_intros. Theorems
  1038    in tendsto_intros (or FDERIV_intros) are also available as
  1039    tendsto_eq_intros (or FDERIV_eq_intros) where the right-hand side
  1040    is replaced by a congruence rule. This allows to apply them as
  1041    intro rules and then proving equivalence by the simplifier.
  1042 
  1043  - Restructured theories in HOL-Complex_Main:
  1044 
  1045    + Moved RealDef and RComplete into Real
  1046 
  1047    + Introduced Topological_Spaces and moved theorems about
  1048      topological spaces, filters, limits and continuity to it
  1049 
  1050    + Renamed RealVector to Real_Vector_Spaces
  1051 
  1052    + Split Lim, SEQ, Series into Topological_Spaces,
  1053      Real_Vector_Spaces, and Limits
  1054 
  1055    + Moved Ln and Log to Transcendental
  1056 
  1057    + Moved theorems about continuity from Deriv to Topological_Spaces
  1058 
  1059  - Remove various auxiliary lemmas.
  1060 
  1061 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1062 
  1063 * Nitpick:
  1064   - Added option "spy".
  1065   - Reduce incidence of "too high arity" errors.
  1066 
  1067 * Sledgehammer:
  1068   - Renamed option:
  1069       isar_shrink ~> isar_compress
  1070     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1071   - Added options "isar_try0", "spy".
  1072   - Better support for "isar_proofs".
  1073   - MaSh has been fined-tuned and now runs as a local server.
  1074 
  1075 * Improved support for ad hoc overloading of constants (see also
  1076 isar-ref manual and ~~/src/HOL/ex/Adhoc_Overloading_Examples.thy).
  1077 
  1078 * Library/Polynomial.thy:
  1079   - Use lifting for primitive definitions.
  1080   - Explicit conversions from and to lists of coefficients, used for
  1081     generated code.
  1082   - Replaced recursion operator poly_rec by fold_coeffs.
  1083   - Prefer pre-existing gcd operation for gcd.
  1084   - Fact renames:
  1085     poly_eq_iff ~> poly_eq_poly_eq_iff
  1086     poly_ext ~> poly_eqI
  1087     expand_poly_eq ~> poly_eq_iff
  1088 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
  1089 
  1090 * New Library/Simps_Case_Conv.thy: Provides commands simps_of_case and
  1091 case_of_simps to convert function definitions between a list of
  1092 equations with patterns on the lhs and a single equation with case
  1093 expressions on the rhs. See also Ex/Simps_Case_Conv_Examples.thy.
  1094 
  1095 * New Library/FSet.thy: type of finite sets defined as a subtype of
  1096 sets defined by Lifting/Transfer.
  1097 
  1098 * Discontinued theory src/HOL/Library/Eval_Witness.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1099 
  1100 * Consolidation of library theories on product orders:
  1101 
  1102     Product_Lattice ~> Product_Order -- pointwise order on products
  1103     Product_ord ~> Product_Lexorder -- lexicographic order on products
  1104 
  1105 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1106 
  1107 * Imperative-HOL: The MREC combinator is considered legacy and no
  1108 longer included by default. INCOMPATIBILITY, use partial_function
  1109 instead, or import theory Legacy_Mrec as a fallback.
  1110 
  1111 * HOL-Algebra: Discontinued theories ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/abstract and
  1112 ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/poly.  Existing theories should be based on
  1113 ~~/src/HOL/Library/Polynomial instead.  The latter provides
  1114 integration with HOL's type classes for rings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1115 
  1116 * HOL-BNF:
  1117   - Various improvements to BNF-based (co)datatype package, including
  1118     new commands "primrec_new", "primcorec", and
  1119     "datatype_new_compat", as well as documentation. See
  1120     "datatypes.pdf" for details.
  1121   - New "coinduction" method to avoid some boilerplate (compared to
  1122     coinduct).
  1123   - Renamed keywords:
  1124     data ~> datatype_new
  1125     codata ~> codatatype
  1126     bnf_def ~> bnf
  1127   - Renamed many generated theorems, including
  1128     discs ~> disc
  1129     map_comp' ~> map_comp
  1130     map_id' ~> map_id
  1131     sels ~> sel
  1132     set_map' ~> set_map
  1133     sets ~> set
  1134 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
  1135 
  1136 
  1137 *** ML ***
  1138 
  1139 * Spec_Check is a Quickcheck tool for Isabelle/ML.  The ML function
  1140 "check_property" allows to check specifications of the form "ALL x y
  1141 z. prop x y z".  See also ~~/src/Tools/Spec_Check/ with its
  1142 Examples.thy in particular.
  1143 
  1144 * Improved printing of exception trace in Poly/ML 5.5.1, with regular
  1145 tracing output in the command transaction context instead of physical
  1146 stdout.  See also Toplevel.debug, Toplevel.debugging and
  1147 ML_Compiler.exn_trace.
  1148 
  1149 * ML type "theory" is now immutable, without any special treatment of
  1150 drafts or linear updates (which could lead to "stale theory" errors in
  1151 the past).  Discontinued obsolete operations like Theory.copy,
  1152 Theory.checkpoint, and the auxiliary type theory_ref.  Minor
  1153 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1154 
  1155 * More uniform naming of goal functions for skipped proofs:
  1156 
  1157     Skip_Proof.prove  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry
  1158     Skip_Proof.prove_global  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry_global
  1159 
  1160 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1161 
  1162 * Simplifier tactics and tools use proper Proof.context instead of
  1163 historic type simpset.  Old-style declarations like addsimps,
  1164 addsimprocs etc. operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type simpset
  1165 retains its use as snapshot of the main Simplifier context, using
  1166 simpset_of and put_simpset on Proof.context.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- port
  1167 old tools by making them depend on (ctxt : Proof.context) instead of
  1168 (ss : simpset), then turn (simpset_of ctxt) into ctxt.
  1169 
  1170 * Modifiers for classical wrappers (e.g. addWrapper, delWrapper)
  1171 operate on Proof.context instead of claset, for uniformity with addIs,
  1172 addEs, addDs etc. Note that claset_of and put_claset allow to manage
  1173 clasets separately from the context.
  1174 
  1175 * Discontinued obsolete ML antiquotations @{claset} and @{simpset}.
  1176 INCOMPATIBILITY, use @{context} instead.
  1177 
  1178 * Antiquotation @{theory_context A} is similar to @{theory A}, but
  1179 presents the result as initial Proof.context.
  1180 
  1181 
  1182 *** System ***
  1183 
  1184 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle usedir, mkdir, make -- superseded by
  1185 "isabelle build" in Isabelle2013.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1186 
  1187 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle-process options -f and -u (former
  1188 administrative aliases of option -e).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1189 
  1190 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle print tool, and PRINT_COMMAND
  1191 settings variable.
  1192 
  1193 * Discontinued ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT settings variable and historic
  1194 document formats: dvi.gz, ps, ps.gz -- the default document format is
  1195 always pdf.
  1196 
  1197 * Isabelle settings variable ISABELLE_BUILD_JAVA_OPTIONS allows to
  1198 specify global resources of the JVM process run by isabelle build.
  1199 
  1200 * Toplevel executable $ISABELLE_HOME/bin/isabelle_scala_script allows
  1201 to run Isabelle/Scala source files as standalone programs.
  1202 
  1203 * Improved "isabelle keywords" tool (for old-style ProofGeneral
  1204 keyword tables): use Isabelle/Scala operations, which inspect outer
  1205 syntax without requiring to build sessions first.
  1206 
  1207 * Sessions may be organized via 'chapter' specifications in the ROOT
  1208 file, which determines a two-level hierarchy of browser info.  The old
  1209 tree-like organization via implicit sub-session relation (with its
  1210 tendency towards erratic fluctuation of URLs) has been discontinued.
  1211 The default chapter is called "Unsorted".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  1212 for HTML presentation of theories.
  1213 
  1214 
  1215 
  1216 New in Isabelle2013 (February 2013)
  1217 -----------------------------------
  1218 
  1219 *** General ***
  1220 
  1221 * Theorem status about oracles and unfinished/failed future proofs is
  1222 no longer printed by default, since it is incompatible with
  1223 incremental / parallel checking of the persistent document model.  ML
  1224 function Thm.peek_status may be used to inspect a snapshot of the
  1225 ongoing evaluation process.  Note that in batch mode --- notably
  1226 isabelle build --- the system ensures that future proofs of all
  1227 accessible theorems in the theory context are finished (as before).
  1228 
  1229 * Configuration option show_markup controls direct inlining of markup
  1230 into the printed representation of formal entities --- notably type
  1231 and sort constraints.  This enables Prover IDE users to retrieve that
  1232 information via tooltips in the output window, for example.
  1233 
  1234 * Command 'ML_file' evaluates ML text from a file directly within the
  1235 theory, without any predeclaration via 'uses' in the theory header.
  1236 
  1237 * Old command 'use' command and corresponding keyword 'uses' in the
  1238 theory header are legacy features and will be discontinued soon.
  1239 Tools that load their additional source files may imitate the
  1240 'ML_file' implementation, such that the system can take care of
  1241 dependencies properly.
  1242 
  1243 * Discontinued obsolete method fastsimp / tactic fast_simp_tac, which
  1244 is called fastforce / fast_force_tac already since Isabelle2011-1.
  1245 
  1246 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual, reduced
  1247 remaining material in old "ref" manual.
  1248 
  1249 * Improved support for auxiliary contexts that indicate block structure
  1250 for specifications.  Nesting of "context fixes ... context assumes ..."
  1251 and "class ... context ...".
  1252 
  1253 * Attribute "consumes" allows a negative value as well, which is
  1254 interpreted relatively to the total number of premises of the rule in
  1255 the target context.  This form of declaration is stable when exported
  1256 from a nested 'context' with additional assumptions.  It is the
  1257 preferred form for definitional packages, notably cases/rules produced
  1258 in HOL/inductive and HOL/function.
  1259 
  1260 * More informative error messages for Isar proof commands involving
  1261 lazy enumerations (method applications etc.).
  1262 
  1263 * Refined 'help' command to retrieve outer syntax commands according
  1264 to name patterns (with clickable results).
  1265 
  1266 
  1267 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
  1268 
  1269 * Parallel terminal proofs ('by') are enabled by default, likewise
  1270 proofs that are built into packages like 'datatype', 'function'.  This
  1271 allows to "run ahead" checking the theory specifications on the
  1272 surface, while the prover is still crunching on internal
  1273 justifications.  Unfinished / cancelled proofs are restarted as
  1274 required to complete full proof checking eventually.
  1275 
  1276 * Improved output panel with tooltips, hyperlinks etc. based on the
  1277 same Rich_Text_Area as regular Isabelle/jEdit buffers.  Activation of
  1278 tooltips leads to some window that supports the same recursively,
  1279 which can lead to stacks of tooltips as the semantic document content
  1280 is explored.  ESCAPE closes the whole stack, individual windows may be
  1281 closed separately, or detached to become independent jEdit dockables.
  1282 
  1283 * Improved support for commands that produce graph output: the text
  1284 message contains a clickable area to open a new instance of the graph
  1285 browser on demand.
  1286 
  1287 * More robust incremental parsing of outer syntax (partial comments,
  1288 malformed symbols).  Changing the balance of open/close quotes and
  1289 comment delimiters works more conveniently with unfinished situations
  1290 that frequently occur in user interaction.
  1291 
  1292 * More efficient painting and improved reactivity when editing large
  1293 files.  More scalable management of formal document content.
  1294 
  1295 * Smarter handling of tracing messages: prover process pauses after
  1296 certain number of messages per command transaction, with some user
  1297 dialog to stop or continue.  This avoids swamping the front-end with
  1298 potentially infinite message streams.
  1299 
  1300 * More plugin options and preferences, based on Isabelle/Scala.  The
  1301 jEdit plugin option panel provides access to some Isabelle/Scala
  1302 options, including tuning parameters for editor reactivity and color
  1303 schemes.
  1304 
  1305 * Dockable window "Symbols" provides some editing support for Isabelle
  1306 symbols.
  1307 
  1308 * Dockable window "Monitor" shows ML runtime statistics.  Note that
  1309 continuous display of the chart slows down the system.
  1310 
  1311 * Improved editing support for control styles: subscript, superscript,
  1312 bold, reset of style -- operating on single symbols or text
  1313 selections.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C+e DOWN/UP/RIGHT/LEFT.
  1314 
  1315 * Actions isabelle.increase-font-size and isabelle.decrease-font-size
  1316 adjust the main text area font size, and its derivatives for output,
  1317 tooltips etc.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C-PLUS and C-MINUS, which often
  1318 need to be adapted to local keyboard layouts.
  1319 
  1320 * More reactive completion popup by default: use \t (TAB) instead of
  1321 \n (NEWLINE) to minimize intrusion into regular flow of editing.  See
  1322 also "Plugin Options / SideKick / General / Code Completion Options".
  1323 
  1324 * Implicit check and build dialog of the specified logic session
  1325 image.  For example, HOL, HOLCF, HOL-Nominal can be produced on
  1326 demand, without bundling big platform-dependent heap images in the
  1327 Isabelle distribution.
  1328 
  1329 * Uniform Java 7 platform on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows: recent updates
  1330 from Oracle provide better multi-platform experience.  This version is
  1331 now bundled exclusively with Isabelle.
  1332 
  1333 
  1334 *** Pure ***
  1335 
  1336 * Code generation for Haskell: restrict unqualified imports from
  1337 Haskell Prelude to a small set of fundamental operations.
  1338 
  1339 * Command 'export_code': relative file names are interpreted
  1340 relatively to master directory of current theory rather than the
  1341 rather arbitrary current working directory.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1342 
  1343 * Discontinued obsolete attribute "COMP".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
  1344 use regular rule composition via "OF" / "THEN", or explicit proof
  1345 structure instead.  Note that Isabelle/ML provides a variety of
  1346 operators like COMP, INCR_COMP, COMP_INCR, which need to be applied
  1347 with some care where this is really required.
  1348 
  1349 * Command 'typ' supports an additional variant with explicit sort
  1350 constraint, to infer and check the most general type conforming to a
  1351 given sort.  Example (in HOL):
  1352 
  1353   typ "_ * _ * bool * unit" :: finite
  1354 
  1355 * Command 'locale_deps' visualizes all locales and their relations as
  1356 a Hasse diagram.
  1357 
  1358 
  1359 *** HOL ***
  1360 
  1361 * Sledgehammer:
  1362 
  1363   - Added MaSh relevance filter based on machine-learning; see the
  1364     Sledgehammer manual for details.
  1365   - Polished Isar proofs generated with "isar_proofs" option.
  1366   - Rationalized type encodings ("type_enc" option).
  1367   - Renamed "kill_provers" subcommand to "kill_all".
  1368   - Renamed options:
  1369       isar_proof ~> isar_proofs
  1370       isar_shrink_factor ~> isar_shrink
  1371       max_relevant ~> max_facts
  1372       relevance_thresholds ~> fact_thresholds
  1373 
  1374 * Quickcheck: added an optimisation for equality premises.  It is
  1375 switched on by default, and can be switched off by setting the
  1376 configuration quickcheck_optimise_equality to false.
  1377 
  1378 * Quotient: only one quotient can be defined by quotient_type
  1379 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1380 
  1381 * Lifting:
  1382   - generation of an abstraction function equation in lift_definition
  1383   - quot_del attribute
  1384   - renamed no_abs_code -> no_code (INCOMPATIBILITY.)
  1385 
  1386 * Simproc "finite_Collect" rewrites set comprehensions into pointfree
  1387 expressions.
  1388 
  1389 * Preprocessing of the code generator rewrites set comprehensions into
  1390 pointfree expressions.
  1391 
  1392 * The SMT solver Z3 has now by default a restricted set of directly
  1393 supported features. For the full set of features (div/mod, nonlinear
  1394 arithmetic, datatypes/records) with potential proof reconstruction
  1395 failures, enable the configuration option "z3_with_extensions".  Minor
  1396 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1397 
  1398 * Simplified 'typedef' specifications: historical options for implicit
  1399 set definition and alternative name have been discontinued.  The
  1400 former behavior of "typedef (open) t = A" is now the default, but
  1401 written just "typedef t = A".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt theories
  1402 accordingly.
  1403 
  1404 * Removed constant "chars"; prefer "Enum.enum" on type "char"
  1405 directly.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1406 
  1407 * Moved operation product, sublists and n_lists from theory Enum to
  1408 List.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1409 
  1410 * Theorem UN_o generalized to SUP_comp.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1411 
  1412 * Class "comm_monoid_diff" formalises properties of bounded
  1413 subtraction, with natural numbers and multisets as typical instances.
  1414 
  1415 * Added combinator "Option.these" with type "'a option set => 'a set".
  1416 
  1417 * Theory "Transitive_Closure": renamed lemmas
  1418 
  1419   reflcl_tranclp -> reflclp_tranclp
  1420   rtranclp_reflcl -> rtranclp_reflclp
  1421 
  1422 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1423 
  1424 * Theory "Rings": renamed lemmas (in class semiring)
  1425 
  1426   left_distrib ~> distrib_right
  1427   right_distrib ~> distrib_left
  1428 
  1429 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1430 
  1431 * Generalized the definition of limits:
  1432 
  1433   - Introduced the predicate filterlim (LIM x F. f x :> G) which
  1434     expresses that when the input values x converge to F then the
  1435     output f x converges to G.
  1436 
  1437   - Added filters for convergence to positive (at_top) and negative
  1438     infinity (at_bot).
  1439 
  1440   - Moved infinity in the norm (at_infinity) from
  1441     Multivariate_Analysis to Complex_Main.
  1442 
  1443   - Removed real_tendsto_inf, it is superseded by "LIM x F. f x :>
  1444     at_top".
  1445 
  1446 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1447 
  1448 * Theory "Library/Option_ord" provides instantiation of option type to
  1449 lattice type classes.
  1450 
  1451 * Theory "Library/Multiset": renamed
  1452 
  1453     constant fold_mset ~> Multiset.fold
  1454     fact fold_mset_commute ~> fold_mset_comm
  1455 
  1456 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1457 
  1458 * Renamed theory Library/List_Prefix to Library/Sublist, with related
  1459 changes as follows.
  1460 
  1461   - Renamed constants (and related lemmas)
  1462 
  1463       prefix ~> prefixeq
  1464       strict_prefix ~> prefix
  1465 
  1466   - Replaced constant "postfix" by "suffixeq" with swapped argument
  1467     order (i.e., "postfix xs ys" is now "suffixeq ys xs") and dropped
  1468     old infix syntax "xs >>= ys"; use "suffixeq ys xs" instead.
  1469     Renamed lemmas accordingly.
  1470 
  1471   - Added constant "list_hembeq" for homeomorphic embedding on
  1472     lists. Added abbreviation "sublisteq" for special case
  1473     "list_hembeq (op =)".
  1474 
  1475   - Theory Library/Sublist no longer provides "order" and "bot" type
  1476     class instances for the prefix order (merely corresponding locale
  1477     interpretations). The type class instances are now in theory
  1478     Library/Prefix_Order.
  1479 
  1480   - The sublist relation of theory Library/Sublist_Order is now based
  1481     on "Sublist.sublisteq".  Renamed lemmas accordingly:
  1482 
  1483       le_list_append_le_same_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append_le_same_iff
  1484       le_list_append_mono ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_append_mono
  1485       le_list_below_empty ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil, Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil2
  1486       le_list_Cons_EX ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_ConsD
  1487       le_list_drop_Cons2 ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2'
  1488       le_list_drop_Cons_neq ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2_neq
  1489       le_list_drop_Cons ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons'
  1490       le_list_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_drop_many
  1491       le_list_filter_left ~> Sublist.sublisteq_filter_left
  1492       le_list_rev_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_rev_drop_many
  1493       le_list_rev_take_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append
  1494       le_list_same_length ~> Sublist.sublisteq_same_length
  1495       le_list_take_many_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append'
  1496       less_eq_list.drop ~> less_eq_list_drop
  1497       less_eq_list.induct ~> less_eq_list_induct
  1498       not_le_list_length ~> Sublist.not_sublisteq_length
  1499 
  1500 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1501 
  1502 * New theory Library/Countable_Set.
  1503 
  1504 * Theory Library/Debug and Library/Parallel provide debugging and
  1505 parallel execution for code generated towards Isabelle/ML.
  1506 
  1507 * Theory Library/FuncSet: Extended support for Pi and extensional and
  1508 introduce the extensional dependent function space "PiE". Replaced
  1509 extensional_funcset by an abbreviation, and renamed lemmas from
  1510 extensional_funcset to PiE as follows:
  1511 
  1512   extensional_empty  ~>  PiE_empty
  1513   extensional_funcset_empty_domain  ~>  PiE_empty_domain
  1514   extensional_funcset_empty_range  ~>  PiE_empty_range
  1515   extensional_funcset_arb  ~>  PiE_arb
  1516   extensional_funcset_mem  ~>  PiE_mem
  1517   extensional_funcset_extend_domainI  ~>  PiE_fun_upd
  1518   extensional_funcset_restrict_domain  ~>  fun_upd_in_PiE
  1519   extensional_funcset_extend_domain_eq  ~>  PiE_insert_eq
  1520   card_extensional_funcset  ~>  card_PiE
  1521   finite_extensional_funcset  ~>  finite_PiE
  1522 
  1523 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1524 
  1525 * Theory Library/FinFun: theory of almost everywhere constant
  1526 functions (supersedes the AFP entry "Code Generation for Functions as
  1527 Data").
  1528 
  1529 * Theory Library/Phantom: generic phantom type to make a type
  1530 parameter appear in a constant's type.  This alternative to adding
  1531 TYPE('a) as another parameter avoids unnecessary closures in generated
  1532 code.
  1533 
  1534 * Theory Library/RBT_Impl: efficient construction of red-black trees
  1535 from sorted associative lists. Merging two trees with rbt_union may
  1536 return a structurally different tree than before.  Potential
  1537 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1538 
  1539 * Theory Library/IArray: immutable arrays with code generation.
  1540 
  1541 * Theory Library/Finite_Lattice: theory of finite lattices.
  1542 
  1543 * HOL/Multivariate_Analysis: replaced
  1544 
  1545   "basis :: 'a::euclidean_space => nat => real"
  1546   "\<Chi>\<Chi> :: (nat => real) => 'a::euclidean_space"
  1547 
  1548 on euclidean spaces by using the inner product "_ \<bullet> _" with
  1549 vectors from the Basis set: "\<Chi>\<Chi> i. f i" is superseded by
  1550 "SUM i : Basis. f i * r i".
  1551 
  1552   With this change the following constants are also changed or removed:
  1553 
  1554     DIM('a) :: nat  ~>  card (Basis :: 'a set)   (is an abbreviation)
  1555     a $$ i  ~>  inner a i  (where i : Basis)
  1556     cart_base i  removed
  1557     \<pi>, \<pi>'  removed
  1558 
  1559   Theorems about these constants where removed.
  1560 
  1561   Renamed lemmas:
  1562 
  1563     component_le_norm  ~>  Basis_le_norm
  1564     euclidean_eq  ~>  euclidean_eq_iff
  1565     differential_zero_maxmin_component  ~>  differential_zero_maxmin_cart
  1566     euclidean_simps  ~>  inner_simps
  1567     independent_basis  ~>  independent_Basis
  1568     span_basis  ~>  span_Basis
  1569     in_span_basis  ~>  in_span_Basis
  1570     norm_bound_component_le  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_le
  1571     norm_bound_component_lt  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_lt
  1572     component_le_infnorm  ~>  Basis_le_infnorm
  1573 
  1574 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1575 
  1576 * HOL/Probability:
  1577 
  1578   - Added simproc "measurable" to automatically prove measurability.
  1579 
  1580   - Added induction rules for sigma sets with disjoint union
  1581     (sigma_sets_induct_disjoint) and for Borel-measurable functions
  1582     (borel_measurable_induct).
  1583 
  1584   - Added the Daniell-Kolmogorov theorem (the existence the limit of a
  1585     projective family).
  1586 
  1587 * HOL/Cardinals: Theories of ordinals and cardinals (supersedes the
  1588 AFP entry "Ordinals_and_Cardinals").
  1589 
  1590 * HOL/BNF: New (co)datatype package based on bounded natural functors
  1591 with support for mixed, nested recursion and interesting non-free
  1592 datatypes.
  1593 
  1594 * HOL/Finite_Set and Relation: added new set and relation operations
  1595 expressed by Finite_Set.fold.
  1596 
  1597 * New theory HOL/Library/RBT_Set: implementation of sets by red-black
  1598 trees for the code generator.
  1599 
  1600 * HOL/Library/RBT and HOL/Library/Mapping have been converted to
  1601 Lifting/Transfer.
  1602 possible INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1603 
  1604 * HOL/Set: renamed Set.project -> Set.filter
  1605 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1606 
  1607 
  1608 *** Document preparation ***
  1609 
  1610 * Dropped legacy antiquotations "term_style" and "thm_style", since
  1611 styles may be given as arguments to "term" and "thm" already.
  1612 Discontinued legacy styles "prem1" .. "prem19".
  1613 
  1614 * Default LaTeX rendering for \<euro> is now based on eurosym package,
  1615 instead of slightly exotic babel/greek.
  1616 
  1617 * Document variant NAME may use different LaTeX entry point
  1618 document/root_NAME.tex if that file exists, instead of the common
  1619 document/root.tex.
  1620 
  1621 * Simplified custom document/build script, instead of old-style
  1622 document/IsaMakefile.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1623 
  1624 
  1625 *** ML ***
  1626 
  1627 * The default limit for maximum number of worker threads is now 8,
  1628 instead of 4, in correspondence to capabilities of contemporary
  1629 hardware and Poly/ML runtime system.
  1630 
  1631 * Type Seq.results and related operations support embedded error
  1632 messages within lazy enumerations, and thus allow to provide
  1633 informative errors in the absence of any usable results.
  1634 
  1635 * Renamed Position.str_of to Position.here to emphasize that this is a
  1636 formal device to inline positions into message text, but not
  1637 necessarily printing visible text.
  1638 
  1639 
  1640 *** System ***
  1641 
  1642 * Advanced support for Isabelle sessions and build management, see
  1643 "system" manual for the chapter of that name, especially the "isabelle
  1644 build" tool and its examples.  The "isabelle mkroot" tool prepares
  1645 session root directories for use with "isabelle build", similar to
  1646 former "isabelle mkdir" for "isabelle usedir".  Note that this affects
  1647 document preparation as well.  INCOMPATIBILITY, isabelle usedir /
  1648 mkdir / make are rendered obsolete.
  1649 
  1650 * Discontinued obsolete Isabelle/build script, it is superseded by the
  1651 regular isabelle build tool.  For example:
  1652 
  1653   isabelle build -s -b HOL
  1654 
  1655 * Discontinued obsolete "isabelle makeall".
  1656 
  1657 * Discontinued obsolete IsaMakefile and ROOT.ML files from the
  1658 Isabelle distribution, except for rudimentary src/HOL/IsaMakefile that
  1659 provides some traditional targets that invoke "isabelle build".  Note
  1660 that this is inefficient!  Applications of Isabelle/HOL involving
  1661 "isabelle make" should be upgraded to use "isabelle build" directly.
  1662 
  1663 * The "isabelle options" tool prints Isabelle system options, as
  1664 required for "isabelle build", for example.
  1665 
  1666 * The "isabelle logo" tool produces EPS and PDF format simultaneously.
  1667 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY in command-line options.
  1668 
  1669 * The "isabelle install" tool has now a simpler command-line.  Minor
  1670 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1671 
  1672 * The "isabelle components" tool helps to resolve add-on components
  1673 that are not bundled, or referenced from a bare-bones repository
  1674 version of Isabelle.
  1675 
  1676 * Settings variable ISABELLE_PLATFORM_FAMILY refers to the general
  1677 platform family: "linux", "macos", "windows".
  1678 
  1679 * The ML system is configured as regular component, and no longer
  1680 picked up from some surrounding directory.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  1681 for home-made settings.
  1682 
  1683 * Improved ML runtime statistics (heap, threads, future tasks etc.).
  1684 
  1685 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2.1, which was the last version
  1686 without exception positions and advanced ML compiler/toplevel
  1687 configuration.
  1688 
  1689 * Discontinued special treatment of Proof General -- no longer guess
  1690 PROOFGENERAL_HOME based on accidental file-system layout.  Minor
  1691 INCOMPATIBILITY: provide PROOFGENERAL_HOME and PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS
  1692 settings manually, or use a Proof General version that has been
  1693 bundled as Isabelle component.
  1694 
  1695 
  1696 
  1697 New in Isabelle2012 (May 2012)
  1698 ------------------------------
  1699 
  1700 *** General ***
  1701 
  1702 * Prover IDE (PIDE) improvements:
  1703 
  1704   - more robust Sledgehammer integration (as before the sledgehammer
  1705     command-line needs to be typed into the source buffer)
  1706   - markup for bound variables
  1707   - markup for types of term variables (displayed as tooltips)
  1708   - support for user-defined Isar commands within the running session
  1709   - improved support for Unicode outside original 16bit range
  1710     e.g. glyph for \<A> (thanks to jEdit 4.5.1)
  1711 
  1712 * Forward declaration of outer syntax keywords within the theory
  1713 header -- minor INCOMPATIBILITY for user-defined commands.  Allow new
  1714 commands to be used in the same theory where defined.
  1715 
  1716 * Auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for specifications with
  1717 additional parameters and assumptions.  Such unnamed contexts may be
  1718 nested within other targets, like 'theory', 'locale', 'class',
  1719 'instantiation' etc.  Results from the local context are generalized
  1720 accordingly and applied to the enclosing target context.  Example:
  1721 
  1722   context
  1723     fixes x y z :: 'a
  1724     assumes xy: "x = y" and yz: "y = z"
  1725   begin
  1726 
  1727   lemma my_trans: "x = z" using xy yz by simp
  1728 
  1729   end
  1730 
  1731   thm my_trans
  1732 
  1733 The most basic application is to factor-out context elements of
  1734 several fixes/assumes/shows theorem statements, e.g. see
  1735 ~~/src/HOL/Isar_Examples/Group_Context.thy
  1736 
  1737 Any other local theory specification element works within the "context
  1738 ... begin ... end" block as well.
  1739 
  1740 * Bundled declarations associate attributed fact expressions with a
  1741 given name in the context.  These may be later included in other
  1742 contexts.  This allows to manage context extensions casually, without
  1743 the logical dependencies of locales and locale interpretation.  See
  1744 commands 'bundle', 'include', 'including' etc. in the isar-ref manual.
  1745 
  1746 * Commands 'lemmas' and 'theorems' allow local variables using 'for'
  1747 declaration, and results are standardized before being stored.  Thus
  1748 old-style "standard" after instantiation or composition of facts
  1749 becomes obsolete.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, due to potential change of
  1750 indices of schematic variables.
  1751 
  1752 * Rule attributes in local theory declarations (e.g. locale or class)
  1753 are now statically evaluated: the resulting theorem is stored instead
  1754 of the original expression.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  1755 the historic accident of dynamic re-evaluation in interpretations
  1756 etc. was exploited.
  1757 
  1758 * New tutorial "Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL"
  1759 ("prog-prove").  It completely supersedes "A Tutorial Introduction to
  1760 Structured Isar Proofs" ("isar-overview"), which has been removed.  It
  1761 also supersedes "Isabelle/HOL, A Proof Assistant for Higher-Order
  1762 Logic" as the recommended beginners tutorial, but does not cover all
  1763 of the material of that old tutorial.
  1764 
  1765 * Updated and extended reference manuals: "isar-ref",
  1766 "implementation", "system"; reduced remaining material in old "ref"
  1767 manual.
  1768 
  1769 
  1770 *** Pure ***
  1771 
  1772 * Command 'definition' no longer exports the foundational "raw_def"
  1773 into the user context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, may use the regular
  1774 "def" result with attribute "abs_def" to imitate the old version.
  1775 
  1776 * Attribute "abs_def" turns an equation of the form "f x y == t" into
  1777 "f == %x y. t", which ensures that "simp" or "unfold" steps always
  1778 expand it.  This also works for object-logic equality.  (Formerly
  1779 undocumented feature.)
  1780 
  1781 * Sort constraints are now propagated in simultaneous statements, just
  1782 like type constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  1783 distinct sorts used to be assigned accidentally.  For example:
  1784 
  1785   lemma "P (x::'a::foo)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"  -- "now illegal"
  1786 
  1787   lemma "P (x::'a)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"
  1788     -- "now uniform 'a::bar instead of default sort for first occurrence (!)"
  1789 
  1790 * Rule composition via attribute "OF" (or ML functions OF/MRS) is more
  1791 tolerant against multiple unifiers, as long as the final result is
  1792 unique.  (As before, rules are composed in canonical right-to-left
  1793 order to accommodate newly introduced premises.)
  1794 
  1795 * Renamed some inner syntax categories:
  1796 
  1797     num ~> num_token
  1798     xnum ~> xnum_token
  1799     xstr ~> str_token
  1800 
  1801 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that in practice "num_const" or
  1802 "num_position" etc. are mainly used instead (which also include
  1803 position information via constraints).
  1804 
  1805 * Simplified configuration options for syntax ambiguity: see
  1806 "syntax_ambiguity_warning" and "syntax_ambiguity_limit" in isar-ref
  1807 manual.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1808 
  1809 * Discontinued configuration option "syntax_positions": atomic terms
  1810 in parse trees are always annotated by position constraints.
  1811 
  1812 * Old code generator for SML and its commands 'code_module',
  1813 'code_library', 'consts_code', 'types_code' have been discontinued.
  1814 Use commands of the generic code generator instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1815 
  1816 * Redundant attribute "code_inline" has been discontinued. Use
  1817 "code_unfold" instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1818 
  1819 * Dropped attribute "code_unfold_post" in favor of the its dual
  1820 "code_abbrev", which yields a common pattern in definitions like
  1821 
  1822   definition [code_abbrev]: "f = t"
  1823 
  1824 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1825 
  1826 * Obsolete 'types' command has been discontinued.  Use 'type_synonym'
  1827 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1828 
  1829 * Discontinued old "prems" fact, which used to refer to the accidental
  1830 collection of foundational premises in the context (already marked as
  1831 legacy since Isabelle2011).
  1832 
  1833 
  1834 *** HOL ***
  1835 
  1836 * Type 'a set is now a proper type constructor (just as before
  1837 Isabelle2008).  Definitions mem_def and Collect_def have disappeared.
  1838 Non-trivial INCOMPATIBILITY.  For developments keeping predicates and
  1839 sets separate, it is often sufficient to rephrase some set S that has
  1840 been accidentally used as predicates by "%x. x : S", and some
  1841 predicate P that has been accidentally used as set by "{x. P x}".
  1842 Corresponding proofs in a first step should be pruned from any
  1843 tinkering with former theorems mem_def and Collect_def as far as
  1844 possible.
  1845 
  1846 For developments which deliberately mix predicates and sets, a
  1847 planning step is necessary to determine what should become a predicate
  1848 and what a set.  It can be helpful to carry out that step in
  1849 Isabelle2011-1 before jumping right into the current release.
  1850 
  1851 * Code generation by default implements sets as container type rather
  1852 than predicates.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1853 
  1854 * New type synonym 'a rel = ('a * 'a) set
  1855 
  1856 * The representation of numerals has changed.  Datatype "num"
  1857 represents strictly positive binary numerals, along with functions
  1858 "numeral :: num => 'a" and "neg_numeral :: num => 'a" to represent
  1859 positive and negated numeric literals, respectively.  See also
  1860 definitions in ~~/src/HOL/Num.thy.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, some
  1861 user theories may require adaptations as follows:
  1862 
  1863   - Theorems with number_ring or number_semiring constraints: These
  1864     classes are gone; use comm_ring_1 or comm_semiring_1 instead.
  1865 
  1866   - Theories defining numeric types: Remove number, number_semiring,
  1867     and number_ring instances. Defer all theorems about numerals until
  1868     after classes one and semigroup_add have been instantiated.
  1869 
  1870   - Numeral-only simp rules: Replace each rule having a "number_of v"
  1871     pattern with two copies, one for numeral and one for neg_numeral.
  1872 
  1873   - Theorems about subclasses of semiring_1 or ring_1: These classes
  1874     automatically support numerals now, so more simp rules and
  1875     simprocs may now apply within the proof.
  1876 
  1877   - Definitions and theorems using old constructors Pls/Min/Bit0/Bit1:
  1878     Redefine using other integer operations.
  1879 
  1880 * Transfer: New package intended to generalize the existing
  1881 "descending" method and related theorem attributes from the Quotient
  1882 package.  (Not all functionality is implemented yet, but future
  1883 development will focus on Transfer as an eventual replacement for the
  1884 corresponding parts of the Quotient package.)
  1885 
  1886   - transfer_rule attribute: Maintains a collection of transfer rules,
  1887     which relate constants at two different types. Transfer rules may
  1888     relate different type instances of the same polymorphic constant,
  1889     or they may relate an operation on a raw type to a corresponding
  1890     operation on an abstract type (quotient or subtype). For example:
  1891 
  1892     ((A ===> B) ===> list_all2 A ===> list_all2 B) map map
  1893     (cr_int ===> cr_int ===> cr_int) (%(x,y) (u,v). (x+u, y+v)) plus_int
  1894 
  1895   - transfer method: Replaces a subgoal on abstract types with an
  1896     equivalent subgoal on the corresponding raw types. Constants are
  1897     replaced with corresponding ones according to the transfer rules.
  1898     Goals are generalized over all free variables by default; this is
  1899     necessary for variables whose types change, but can be overridden
  1900     for specific variables with e.g. "transfer fixing: x y z".  The
  1901     variant transfer' method allows replacing a subgoal with one that
  1902     is logically stronger (rather than equivalent).
  1903 
  1904   - relator_eq attribute: Collects identity laws for relators of
  1905     various type constructors, e.g. "list_all2 (op =) = (op =)".  The
  1906     transfer method uses these lemmas to infer transfer rules for
  1907     non-polymorphic constants on the fly.
  1908 
  1909   - transfer_prover method: Assists with proving a transfer rule for a
  1910     new constant, provided the constant is defined in terms of other
  1911     constants that already have transfer rules. It should be applied
  1912     after unfolding the constant definitions.
  1913 
  1914   - HOL/ex/Transfer_Int_Nat.thy: Example theory demonstrating transfer
  1915     from type nat to type int.
  1916 
  1917 * Lifting: New package intended to generalize the quotient_definition
  1918 facility of the Quotient package; designed to work with Transfer.
  1919 
  1920   - lift_definition command: Defines operations on an abstract type in
  1921     terms of a corresponding operation on a representation
  1922     type.  Example syntax:
  1923 
  1924     lift_definition dlist_insert :: "'a => 'a dlist => 'a dlist"
  1925       is List.insert
  1926 
  1927     Users must discharge a respectfulness proof obligation when each
  1928     constant is defined. (For a type copy, i.e. a typedef with UNIV,
  1929     the proof is discharged automatically.) The obligation is
  1930     presented in a user-friendly, readable form; a respectfulness
  1931     theorem in the standard format and a transfer rule are generated
  1932     by the package.
  1933 
  1934   - Integration with code_abstype: For typedefs (e.g. subtypes
  1935     corresponding to a datatype invariant, such as dlist),
  1936     lift_definition generates a code certificate theorem and sets up
  1937     code generation for each constant.
  1938 
  1939   - setup_lifting command: Sets up the Lifting package to work with a
  1940     user-defined type. The user must provide either a quotient theorem
  1941     or a type_definition theorem.  The package configures transfer
  1942     rules for equality and quantifiers on the type, and sets up the
  1943     lift_definition command to work with the type.
  1944 
  1945   - Usage examples: See Quotient_Examples/Lift_DList.thy,
  1946     Quotient_Examples/Lift_RBT.thy, Quotient_Examples/Lift_FSet.thy,
  1947     Word/Word.thy and Library/Float.thy.
  1948 
  1949 * Quotient package:
  1950 
  1951   - The 'quotient_type' command now supports a 'morphisms' option with
  1952     rep and abs functions, similar to typedef.
  1953 
  1954   - 'quotient_type' sets up new types to work with the Lifting and
  1955     Transfer packages, as with 'setup_lifting'.
  1956 
  1957   - The 'quotient_definition' command now requires the user to prove a
  1958     respectfulness property at the point where the constant is
  1959     defined, similar to lift_definition; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1960 
  1961   - Renamed predicate 'Quotient' to 'Quotient3', and renamed theorems
  1962     accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1963 
  1964 * New diagnostic command 'find_unused_assms' to find potentially
  1965 superfluous assumptions in theorems using Quickcheck.
  1966 
  1967 * Quickcheck:
  1968 
  1969   - Quickcheck returns variable assignments as counterexamples, which
  1970     allows to reveal the underspecification of functions under test.
  1971     For example, refuting "hd xs = x", it presents the variable
  1972     assignment xs = [] and x = a1 as a counterexample, assuming that
  1973     any property is false whenever "hd []" occurs in it.
  1974 
  1975     These counterexample are marked as potentially spurious, as
  1976     Quickcheck also returns "xs = []" as a counterexample to the
  1977     obvious theorem "hd xs = hd xs".
  1978 
  1979     After finding a potentially spurious counterexample, Quickcheck
  1980     continues searching for genuine ones.
  1981 
  1982     By default, Quickcheck shows potentially spurious and genuine
  1983     counterexamples. The option "genuine_only" sets quickcheck to only
  1984     show genuine counterexamples.
  1985 
  1986   - The command 'quickcheck_generator' creates random and exhaustive
  1987     value generators for a given type and operations.
  1988 
  1989     It generates values by using the operations as if they were
  1990     constructors of that type.
  1991 
  1992   - Support for multisets.
  1993 
  1994   - Added "use_subtype" options.
  1995 
  1996   - Added "quickcheck_locale" configuration to specify how to process
  1997     conjectures in a locale context.
  1998 
  1999 * Nitpick: Fixed infinite loop caused by the 'peephole_optim' option
  2000 and affecting 'rat' and 'real'.
  2001 
  2002 * Sledgehammer:
  2003   - Integrated more tightly with SPASS, as described in the ITP 2012
  2004     paper "More SPASS with Isabelle".
  2005   - Made it try "smt" as a fallback if "metis" fails or times out.
  2006   - Added support for the following provers: Alt-Ergo (via Why3 and
  2007     TFF1), iProver, iProver-Eq.
  2008   - Sped up the minimizer.
  2009   - Added "lam_trans", "uncurry_aliases", and "minimize" options.
  2010   - Renamed "slicing" ("no_slicing") option to "slice" ("dont_slice").
  2011   - Renamed "sound" option to "strict".
  2012 
  2013 * Metis: Added possibility to specify lambda translations scheme as a
  2014 parenthesized argument (e.g., "by (metis (lifting) ...)").
  2015 
  2016 * SMT: Renamed "smt_fixed" option to "smt_read_only_certificates".
  2017 
  2018 * Command 'try0': Renamed from 'try_methods'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2019 
  2020 * New "case_product" attribute to generate a case rule doing multiple
  2021 case distinctions at the same time.  E.g.
  2022 
  2023   list.exhaust [case_product nat.exhaust]
  2024 
  2025 produces a rule which can be used to perform case distinction on both
  2026 a list and a nat.
  2027 
  2028 * New "eventually_elim" method as a generalized variant of the
  2029 eventually_elim* rules.  Supports structured proofs.
  2030 
  2031 * Typedef with implicit set definition is considered legacy.  Use
  2032 "typedef (open)" form instead, which will eventually become the
  2033 default.
  2034 
  2035 * Record: code generation can be switched off manually with
  2036 
  2037   declare [[record_coden = false]]  -- "default true"
  2038 
  2039 * Datatype: type parameters allow explicit sort constraints.
  2040 
  2041 * Concrete syntax for case expressions includes constraints for source
  2042 positions, and thus produces Prover IDE markup for its bindings.
  2043 INCOMPATIBILITY for old-style syntax translations that augment the
  2044 pattern notation; e.g. see src/HOL/HOLCF/One.thy for translations of
  2045 one_case.
  2046 
  2047 * Clarified attribute "mono_set": pure declaration without modifying
  2048 the result of the fact expression.
  2049 
  2050 * More default pred/set conversions on a couple of relation operations
  2051 and predicates.  Added powers of predicate relations.  Consolidation
  2052 of some relation theorems:
  2053 
  2054   converse_def ~> converse_unfold
  2055   rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
  2056   symp_def ~> (modified, use symp_def and sym_def instead)
  2057   transp_def ~> transp_trans
  2058   Domain_def ~> Domain_unfold
  2059   Range_def ~> Domain_converse [symmetric]
  2060 
  2061 Generalized theorems INF_INT_eq, INF_INT_eq2, SUP_UN_eq, SUP_UN_eq2.
  2062 
  2063 See theory "Relation" for examples for making use of pred/set
  2064 conversions by means of attributes "to_set" and "to_pred".
  2065 
  2066 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2067 
  2068 * Renamed facts about the power operation on relations, i.e., relpow
  2069 to match the constant's name:
  2070 
  2071   rel_pow_1 ~> relpow_1
  2072   rel_pow_0_I ~> relpow_0_I
  2073   rel_pow_Suc_I ~> relpow_Suc_I
  2074   rel_pow_Suc_I2 ~> relpow_Suc_I2
  2075   rel_pow_0_E ~> relpow_0_E
  2076   rel_pow_Suc_E ~> relpow_Suc_E
  2077   rel_pow_E ~> relpow_E
  2078   rel_pow_Suc_D2 ~> relpow_Suc_D2
  2079   rel_pow_Suc_E2 ~> relpow_Suc_E2
  2080   rel_pow_Suc_D2' ~> relpow_Suc_D2'
  2081   rel_pow_E2 ~> relpow_E2
  2082   rel_pow_add ~> relpow_add
  2083   rel_pow_commute ~> relpow
  2084   rel_pow_empty ~> relpow_empty:
  2085   rtrancl_imp_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_imp_UN_relpow
  2086   rel_pow_imp_rtrancl ~> relpow_imp_rtrancl
  2087   rtrancl_is_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_is_UN_relpow
  2088   rtrancl_imp_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_imp_relpow
  2089   rel_pow_fun_conv ~> relpow_fun_conv
  2090   rel_pow_finite_bounded1 ~> relpow_finite_bounded1
  2091   rel_pow_finite_bounded ~> relpow_finite_bounded
  2092   rtrancl_finite_eq_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_finite_eq_relpow
  2093   trancl_finite_eq_rel_pow ~> trancl_finite_eq_relpow
  2094   single_valued_rel_pow ~> single_valued_relpow
  2095 
  2096 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2097 
  2098 * Theory Relation: Consolidated constant name for relation composition
  2099 and corresponding theorem names:
  2100 
  2101   - Renamed constant rel_comp to relcomp.
  2102 
  2103   - Dropped abbreviation pred_comp. Use relcompp instead.
  2104 
  2105   - Renamed theorems:
  2106 
  2107     rel_compI ~> relcompI
  2108     rel_compEpair ~> relcompEpair
  2109     rel_compE ~> relcompE
  2110     pred_comp_rel_comp_eq ~> relcompp_relcomp_eq
  2111     rel_comp_empty1 ~> relcomp_empty1
  2112     rel_comp_mono ~> relcomp_mono
  2113     rel_comp_subset_Sigma ~> relcomp_subset_Sigma
  2114     rel_comp_distrib ~> relcomp_distrib
  2115     rel_comp_distrib2 ~> relcomp_distrib2
  2116     rel_comp_UNION_distrib ~> relcomp_UNION_distrib
  2117     rel_comp_UNION_distrib2 ~> relcomp_UNION_distrib2
  2118     single_valued_rel_comp ~> single_valued_relcomp
  2119     rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
  2120     converse_rel_comp ~> converse_relcomp
  2121     pred_compI ~> relcomppI
  2122     pred_compE ~> relcomppE
  2123     pred_comp_bot1 ~> relcompp_bot1
  2124     pred_comp_bot2 ~> relcompp_bot2
  2125     transp_pred_comp_less_eq ~> transp_relcompp_less_eq

  2127     pred_comp_distrib ~> relcompp_distrib
  2128     pred_comp_distrib2 ~> relcompp_distrib2
  2129     converse_pred_comp ~> converse_relcompp
  2130 
  2131     finite_rel_comp ~> finite_relcomp
  2132 
  2133     set_rel_comp ~> set_relcomp
  2134 
  2135 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2136 
  2137 * Theory Divides: Discontinued redundant theorems about div and mod.
  2138 INCOMPATIBILITY, use the corresponding generic theorems instead.
  2139 
  2140   DIVISION_BY_ZERO ~> div_by_0, mod_by_0

  2446 * New theory HOL/Library/DAList provides an abstract type for

  2448 
  2449 * Session HOL/IMP: Added new theory of abstract interpretation of

  2451 
  2452 * Session HOL-Import: Re-implementation from scratch is faster,
  2453 simpler, and more scalable.  Requires a proof bundle, which is

  2455 dead) Importer for HOL4 and HOL Light.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2503 * Session HOL-Word: New proof method "word_bitwise" for splitting
  2504 machine word equalities and inequalities into logical circuits,
  2505 defined in HOL/Word/WordBitwise.thy.  Supports addition, subtraction,
  2506 multiplication, shifting by constants, bitwise operators and numeric
  2507 constants.  Requires fixed-length word types, not 'a word.  Solves
  2508 many standard word identities outright and converts more into first
  2509 order problems amenable to blast or similar.  See also examples in
  2510 HOL/Word/Examples/WordExamples.thy.
  2511 
  2512 * Session HOL-Probability: Introduced the type "'a measure" to
  2513 represent measures, this replaces the records 'a algebra and 'a
  2514 measure_space.  The locales based on subset_class now have two
  2515 locale-parameters the space \<Omega> and the set of measurable sets M.
  2516 The product of probability spaces uses now the same constant as the
  2517 finite product of sigma-finite measure spaces "PiM :: ('i => 'a)
  2518 measure".  Most constants are defined now outside of locales and gain
  2519 an additional parameter, like null_sets, almost_eventually or \<mu>'.
  2520 Measure space constructions for distributions and densities now got
  2521 their own constants distr and density.  Instead of using locales to
  2522 describe measure spaces with a finite space, the measure count_space
  2523 and point_measure is introduced.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2524

  2685 * Session HOL-TPTP: support to parse and import TPTP problems (all
  2686 languages) into Isabelle/HOL.
  2687 
  2688 
  2689 *** FOL ***
  2690 
  2691 * New "case_product" attribute (see HOL).
  2692 
  2693 
  2694 *** ZF ***
  2695 
  2696 * Greater support for structured proofs involving induction or case
  2697 analysis.
  2698 
  2699 * Much greater use of mathematical symbols.
  2700 
  2701 * Removal of many ML theorem bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2702 
  2703 
  2704 *** ML ***
  2705 
  2706 * Antiquotation @{keyword "name"} produces a parser for outer syntax
  2707 from a minor keyword introduced via theory header declaration.
  2708 
  2709 * Antiquotation @{command_spec "name"} produces the
  2710 Outer_Syntax.command_spec from a major keyword introduced via theory
  2711 header declaration; it can be passed to Outer_Syntax.command etc.
  2712 
  2713 * Local_Theory.define no longer hard-wires default theorem name
  2714 "foo_def", but retains the binding as given.  If that is Binding.empty
  2715 / Attrib.empty_binding, the result is not registered as user-level
  2716 fact.  The Local_Theory.define_internal variant allows to specify a
  2717 non-empty name (used for the foundation in the background theory),
  2718 while omitting the fact binding in the user-context.  Potential
  2719 INCOMPATIBILITY for derived definitional packages: need to specify
  2720 naming policy for primitive definitions more explicitly.
  2721 
  2722 * Renamed Thm.capply to Thm.apply, and Thm.cabs to Thm.lambda in
  2723 conformance with similar operations in structure Term and Logic.
  2724 
  2725 * Antiquotation @{attributes [...]} embeds attribute source
  2726 representation into the ML text, which is particularly useful with
  2727 declarations like Local_Theory.note.
  2728 
  2729 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  2730 ProofContext has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2731 
  2732 * Refined Local_Theory.declaration {syntax, pervasive}, with subtle
  2733 change of semantics: update is applied to auxiliary local theory
  2734 context as well.
  2735 
  2736 * Modernized some old-style infix operations:
  2737 
  2738   addeqcongs    ~> Simplifier.add_eqcong
  2739   deleqcongs    ~> Simplifier.del_eqcong
  2740   addcongs      ~> Simplifier.add_cong
  2741   delcongs      ~> Simplifier.del_cong
  2742   setmksimps    ~> Simplifier.set_mksimps
  2743   setmkcong     ~> Simplifier.set_mkcong
  2744   setmksym      ~> Simplifier.set_mksym
  2745   setmkeqTrue   ~> Simplifier.set_mkeqTrue
  2746   settermless   ~> Simplifier.set_termless
  2747   setsubgoaler  ~> Simplifier.set_subgoaler
  2748   addsplits     ~> Splitter.add_split
  2749   delsplits     ~> Splitter.del_split
  2750 
  2751 
  2752 *** System ***
  2753 
  2754 * USER_HOME settings variable points to cross-platform user home
  2755 directory, which coincides with HOME on POSIX systems only.  Likewise,
  2756 the Isabelle path specification "~" now expands to $USER_HOME, instead
  2757 of former $HOME.  A different default for USER_HOME may be set
  2758 explicitly in shell environment, before Isabelle settings are
  2759 evaluated.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: need to adapt Isabelle path where
  2760 the generic user home was intended.
  2761 
  2762 * ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS refers to ISABELLE_HOME in windows file name
  2763 notation, which is useful for the jEdit file browser, for example.
  2764 
  2765 * ISABELLE_JDK_HOME settings variable points to JDK with javac and jar
  2766 (not just JRE).
  2767 
  2768 
  2769 
  2770 New in Isabelle2011-1 (October 2011)
  2771 ------------------------------------
  2772 
  2773 *** General ***
  2774 
  2775 * Improved Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE (PIDE), which can be invoked as
  2776 "isabelle jedit" or "ISABELLE_HOME/Isabelle" on the command line.
  2777 
  2778   - Management of multiple theory files directly from the editor
  2779     buffer store -- bypassing the file-system (no requirement to save
  2780     files for checking).
  2781 
  2782   - Markup of formal entities within the text buffer, with semantic
  2783     highlighting, tooltips and hyperlinks to jump to defining source
  2784     positions.
  2785 
  2786   - Improved text rendering, with sub/superscripts in the source
  2787     buffer (including support for copy/paste wrt. output panel, HTML
  2788     theory output and other non-Isabelle text boxes).
  2789 
  2790   - Refined scheduling of proof checking and printing of results,
  2791     based on interactive editor view.  (Note: jEdit folding and
  2792     narrowing allows to restrict buffer perspectives explicitly.)
  2793 
  2794   - Reduced CPU performance requirements, usable on machines with few
  2795     cores.
  2796 
  2797   - Reduced memory requirements due to pruning of unused document
  2798     versions (garbage collection).
  2799 
  2800 See also ~~/src/Tools/jEdit/README.html for further information,
  2801 including some remaining limitations.
  2802 
  2803 * Theory loader: source files are exclusively located via the master
  2804 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  2805 The global load path (such as src/HOL/Library) has been discontinued.
  2806 Note that the path element ~~ may be used to reference theories in the
  2807 Isabelle home folder -- for instance, "~~/src/HOL/Library/FuncSet".
  2808 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2809 
  2810 * Theory loader: source files are identified by content via SHA1
  2811 digests.  Discontinued former path/modtime identification and optional
  2812 ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT plugin scripts.
  2813 
  2814 * Parallelization of nested Isar proofs is subject to
  2815 Goal.parallel_proofs_threshold (default 100).  See also isabelle
  2816 usedir option -Q.
  2817 
  2818 * Name space: former unsynchronized references are now proper
  2819 configuration options, with more conventional names:
  2820 
  2821   long_names   ~> names_long
  2822   short_names  ~> names_short
  2823   unique_names ~> names_unique
  2824 
  2825 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, need to declare options in context like this:
  2826 
  2827   declare [[names_unique = false]]
  2828 
  2829 * Literal facts `prop` may contain dummy patterns, e.g. `_ = _`.  Note
  2830 that the result needs to be unique, which means fact specifications
  2831 may have to be refined after enriching a proof context.
  2832 
  2833 * Attribute "case_names" has been refined: the assumptions in each case
  2834 can be named now by following the case name with [name1 name2 ...].
  2835 
  2836 * Isabelle/Isar reference manual has been updated and extended:
  2837   - "Synopsis" provides a catalog of main Isar language concepts.
  2838   - Formal references in syntax diagrams, via @{rail} antiquotation.
  2839   - Updated material from classic "ref" manual, notably about
  2840     "Classical Reasoner".
  2841 
  2842 
  2843 *** HOL ***
  2844 
  2845 * Class bot and top require underlying partial order rather than
  2846 preorder: uniqueness of bot and top is guaranteed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2847 
  2848 * Class complete_lattice: generalized a couple of lemmas from sets;
  2849 generalized theorems INF_cong and SUP_cong.  New type classes for
  2850 complete boolean algebras and complete linear orders.  Lemmas
  2851 Inf_less_iff, less_Sup_iff, INF_less_iff, less_SUP_iff now reside in
  2852 class complete_linorder.
  2853 
  2854 Changed proposition of lemmas Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, Inf_fun_def,
  2855 Sup_fun_def, Inf_apply, Sup_apply.
  2856 
  2857 Removed redundant lemmas (the right hand side gives hints how to
  2858 replace them for (metis ...), or (simp only: ...) proofs):
  2859 
  2860   Inf_singleton ~> Inf_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Inf_empty inf_top_right]
  2861   Sup_singleton ~> Sup_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Sup_empty sup_bot_right]
  2862   Inf_binary ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  2863   Sup_binary ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  2864   Int_eq_Inter ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  2865   Un_eq_Union ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  2866   Inter_def ~> INF_def, image_def
  2867   Union_def ~> SUP_def, image_def
  2868   INT_eq ~> INF_def, and image_def
  2869   UN_eq ~> SUP_def, and image_def
  2870   INF_subset ~> INF_superset_mono [OF _ order_refl]
  2871 
  2872 More consistent and comprehensive names:
  2873 
  2874   INTER_eq_Inter_image ~> INF_def
  2875   UNION_eq_Union_image ~> SUP_def
  2876   INFI_def ~> INF_def

  2882   le_SUPI2 ~> SUP_upper2
  2883   SUP_leI ~> SUP_least
  2884   INFI_bool_eq ~> INF_bool_eq
  2885   SUPR_bool_eq ~> SUP_bool_eq
  2886   INFI_apply ~> INF_apply
  2887   SUPR_apply ~> SUP_apply
  2888   INTER_def ~> INTER_eq
  2889   UNION_def ~> UNION_eq
  2890 
  2891 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2892 
  2893 * Renamed theory Complete_Lattice to Complete_Lattices.
  2894 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2895 
  2896 * Theory Complete_Lattices: lemmas Inf_eq_top_iff, INF_eq_top_iff,
  2897 INF_image, Inf_insert, INF_top, Inf_top_conv, INF_top_conv, SUP_bot,
  2898 Sup_bot_conv, SUP_bot_conv, Sup_eq_top_iff, SUP_eq_top_iff, SUP_image,
  2899 Sup_insert are now declared as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2900 
  2901 * Theory Lattice: lemmas compl_inf_bot, compl_le_comp_iff,
  2902 compl_sup_top, inf_idem, inf_left_idem, inf_sup_absorb, sup_idem,
  2903 sup_inf_absob, sup_left_idem are now declared as [simp].  Minor
  2904 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2905 
  2906 * Added syntactic classes "inf" and "sup" for the respective
  2907 constants.  INCOMPATIBILITY: Changes in the argument order of the
  2908 (mostly internal) locale predicates for some derived classes.
  2909 
  2910 * Theorem collections ball_simps and bex_simps do not contain theorems
  2911 referring to UNION any longer; these have been moved to collection
  2912 UN_ball_bex_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2913 
  2914 * Theory Archimedean_Field: floor now is defined as parameter of a
  2915 separate type class floor_ceiling.
  2916 
  2917 * Theory Finite_Set: more coherent development of fold_set locales:
  2918 
  2919     locale fun_left_comm ~> locale comp_fun_commute
  2920     locale fun_left_comm_idem ~> locale comp_fun_idem
  2921 
  2922 Both use point-free characterization; interpretation proofs may need
  2923 adjustment.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2924 
  2925 * Theory Limits: Type "'a net" has been renamed to "'a filter", in
  2926 accordance with standard mathematical terminology. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2927 
  2928 * Theory Complex_Main: The locale interpretations for the
  2929 bounded_linear and bounded_bilinear locales have been removed, in
  2930 order to reduce the number of duplicate lemmas. Users must use the
  2931 original names for distributivity theorems, potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3027 * Theory Complex_Main: The definition of infinite series was
  3028 generalized.  Now it is defined on the type class {topological_space,
  3029 comm_monoid_add}.  Hence it is useable also for extended real numbers.
  3030 
  3031 * Theory Complex_Main: The complex exponential function "expi" is now
  3032 a type-constrained abbreviation for "exp :: complex => complex"; thus
  3033 several polymorphic lemmas about "exp" are now applicable to "expi".
  3034 
  3035 * Code generation:
  3036 
  3037   - Theory Library/Code_Char_ord provides native ordering of
  3038     characters in the target language.
  3039 
  3040   - Commands code_module and code_library are legacy, use export_code
  3041     instead.
  3042 
  3043   - Method "evaluation" is legacy, use method "eval" instead.
  3044 
  3045   - Legacy evaluator "SML" is deactivated by default.  May be
  3046     reactivated by the following theory command:
  3047 
  3048       setup {* Value.add_evaluator ("SML", Codegen.eval_term) *}
  3049 
  3050 * Declare ext [intro] by default.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3051 
  3052 * New proof method "induction" that gives induction hypotheses the
  3053 name "IH", thus distinguishing them from further hypotheses that come
  3054 from rule induction.  The latter are still called "hyps".  Method
  3055 "induction" is a thin wrapper around "induct" and follows the same
  3056 syntax.
  3057 
  3058 * Method "fastsimp" has been renamed to "fastforce", but "fastsimp" is
  3059 still available as a legacy feature for some time.
  3060 
  3061 * Nitpick:
  3062   - Added "need" and "total_consts" options.
  3063   - Reintroduced "show_skolems" option by popular demand.
  3064   - Renamed attribute: nitpick_def ~> nitpick_unfold.
  3065     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3066 
  3067 * Sledgehammer:
  3068   - Use quasi-sound (and efficient) translations by default.
  3069   - Added support for the following provers: E-ToFoF, LEO-II,
  3070     Satallax, SNARK, Waldmeister, and Z3 with TPTP syntax.
  3071   - Automatically preplay and minimize proofs before showing them if
  3072     this can be done within reasonable time.
  3073   - sledgehammer available_provers ~> sledgehammer supported_provers.
  3074     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3075   - Added "preplay_timeout", "slicing", "type_enc", "sound",
  3076     "max_mono_iters", and "max_new_mono_instances" options.
  3077   - Removed "explicit_apply" and "full_types" options as well as "Full
  3078     Types" Proof General menu item. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3079 
  3080 * Metis:
  3081   - Removed "metisF" -- use "metis" instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3082   - Obsoleted "metisFT" -- use "metis (full_types)" instead.
  3083     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3084 
  3085 * Command 'try':
  3086   - Renamed 'try_methods' and added "simp:", "intro:", "dest:", and
  3087     "elim:" options. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3088   - Introduced 'try' that not only runs 'try_methods' but also
  3089     'solve_direct', 'sledgehammer', 'quickcheck', and 'nitpick'.
  3090 
  3091 * Quickcheck:
  3092   - Added "eval" option to evaluate terms for the found counterexample
  3093     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  3094   - Added post-processing of terms to obtain readable counterexamples
  3095     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  3096   - New counterexample generator quickcheck[narrowing] enables
  3097     narrowing-based testing.  Requires the Glasgow Haskell compiler
  3098     with its installation location defined in the Isabelle settings
  3099     environment as ISABELLE_GHC.
  3100   - Removed quickcheck tester "SML" based on the SML code generator
  3101     (formly in HOL/Library).
  3102 
  3103 * Function package: discontinued option "tailrec".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  3104 use 'partial_function' instead.
  3105 
  3106 * Theory Library/Extended_Reals replaces now the positive extended
  3107 reals found in probability theory. This file is extended by
  3108 Multivariate_Analysis/Extended_Real_Limits.
  3109 
  3110 * Theory Library/Old_Recdef: old 'recdef' package has been moved here,
  3111 from where it must be imported explicitly if it is really required.
  3112 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3113 
  3114 * Theory Library/Wfrec: well-founded recursion combinator "wfrec" has
  3115 been moved here.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3116 
  3117 * Theory Library/Saturated provides type of numbers with saturated
  3118 arithmetic.
  3119 
  3120 * Theory Library/Product_Lattice defines a pointwise ordering for the
  3121 product type 'a * 'b, and provides instance proofs for various order
  3122 and lattice type classes.
  3123 
  3124 * Theory Library/Countable now provides the "countable_datatype" proof
  3125 method for proving "countable" class instances for datatypes.
  3126 
  3127 * Theory Library/Cset_Monad allows do notation for computable sets
  3128 (cset) via the generic monad ad-hoc overloading facility.
  3129 
  3130 * Library: Theories of common data structures are split into theories
  3131 for implementation, an invariant-ensuring type, and connection to an
  3132 abstract type. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3133 
  3134   - RBT is split into RBT and RBT_Mapping.
  3135   - AssocList is split and renamed into AList and AList_Mapping.
  3136   - DList is split into DList_Impl, DList, and DList_Cset.
  3137   - Cset is split into Cset and List_Cset.
  3138 
  3139 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity has been renamed to
  3140 Library/Extended_Nat, with name changes of the following types and
  3141 constants:
  3142 
  3143   type inat   ~> type enat
  3144   Fin         ~> enat
  3145   Infty       ~> infinity (overloaded)
  3146   iSuc        ~> eSuc
  3147   the_Fin     ~> the_enat
  3148 
  3149 Every theorem name containing "inat", "Fin", "Infty", or "iSuc" has
  3150 been renamed accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3151 
  3152 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: The euclidean_space type class now
  3153 fixes a constant "Basis :: 'a set" consisting of the standard
  3154 orthonormal basis for the type. Users now have the option of
  3155 quantifying over this set instead of using the "basis" function, e.g.
  3156 "ALL x:Basis. P x" vs "ALL i<DIM('a). P (basis i)".
  3157 
  3158 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Type "('a, 'b) cart" has been renamed
  3159 to "('a, 'b) vec" (the syntax "'a ^ 'b" remains unaffected). Constants
  3160 "Cart_nth" and "Cart_lambda" have been respectively renamed to
  3161 "vec_nth" and "vec_lambda"; theorems mentioning those names have
  3162 changed to match. Definition theorems for overloaded constants now use
  3163 the standard "foo_vec_def" naming scheme. A few other theorems have
  3164 been renamed as follows (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  3165 
  3166   Cart_eq          ~> vec_eq_iff
  3167   dist_nth_le_cart ~> dist_vec_nth_le
  3168   tendsto_vector   ~> vec_tendstoI
  3169   Cauchy_vector    ~> vec_CauchyI
  3170 
  3171 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Several duplicate theorems have been
  3172 removed, and other theorems have been renamed or replaced with more
  3173 general versions. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3227 * Session HOL-Probability:
  3228   - Caratheodory's extension lemma is now proved for ring_of_sets.
  3229   - Infinite products of probability measures are now available.
  3230   - Sigma closure is independent, if the generator is independent
  3231   - Use extended reals instead of positive extended
  3232     reals. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3265 * Antiquotation @{rail} layouts railroad syntax diagrams, see also
  3266 isar-ref manual, both for description and actual application of the
  3267 same.
  3268 
  3269 * Antiquotation @{value} evaluates the given term and presents its
  3270 result.
  3271 
  3272 * Antiquotations: term style "isub" provides ad-hoc conversion of
  3273 variables x1, y23 into subscripted form x\<^isub>1,
  3274 y\<^isub>2\<^isub>3.
  3275 
  3276 * Predefined LaTeX macros for Isabelle symbols \<bind> and \<then>
  3277 (e.g. see ~~/src/HOL/Library/Monad_Syntax.thy).
  3278 
  3279 * Localized \isabellestyle switch can be used within blocks or groups
  3280 like this:
  3281 
  3282   \isabellestyle{it}  %preferred default
  3283   {\isabellestylett @{text "typewriter stuff"}}
  3284 
  3285 * Discontinued special treatment of hard tabulators.  Implicit
  3286 tab-width is now defined as 1.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for visual
  3287 layouts.
  3288 
  3289 
  3290 *** ML ***
  3291 
  3292 * The inner syntax of sort/type/term/prop supports inlined YXML
  3293 representations within quoted string tokens.  By encoding logical
  3294 entities via Term_XML (in ML or Scala) concrete syntax can be
  3295 bypassed, which is particularly useful for producing bits of text
  3296 under external program control.
  3297 
  3298 * Antiquotations for ML and document preparation are managed as theory
  3299 data, which requires explicit setup.
  3300 
  3301 * Isabelle_Process.is_active allows tools to check if the official
  3302 process wrapper is running (Isabelle/Scala/jEdit) or the old TTY loop
  3303 (better known as Proof General).
  3304 
  3305 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  3306 ProofContext is still available for some time as legacy alias.
  3307 
  3308 * Structure Timing provides various operations for timing; supersedes
  3309 former start_timing/end_timing etc.
  3310 
  3311 * Path.print is the official way to show file-system paths to users
  3312 (including quotes etc.).
  3313 
  3314 * Inner syntax: identifiers in parse trees of generic categories
  3315 "logic", "aprop", "idt" etc. carry position information (disguised as
  3316 type constraints).  Occasional INCOMPATIBILITY with non-compliant
  3317 translations that choke on unexpected type constraints.  Positions can
  3318 be stripped in ML translations via Syntax.strip_positions /
  3319 Syntax.strip_positions_ast, or via the syntax constant
  3320 "_strip_positions" within parse trees.  As last resort, positions can
  3321 be disabled via the configuration option Syntax.positions, which is
  3322 called "syntax_positions" in Isar attribute syntax.
  3323 
  3324 * Discontinued special status of various ML structures that contribute
  3325 to structure Syntax (Ast, Lexicon, Mixfix, Parser, Printer etc.): less
  3326 pervasive content, no inclusion in structure Syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  3327 refer directly to Ast.Constant, Lexicon.is_identifier,
  3328 Syntax_Trans.mk_binder_tr etc.
  3329 
  3330 * Typed print translation: discontinued show_sorts argument, which is
  3331 already available via context of "advanced" translation.
  3332 
  3333 * Refined PARALLEL_GOALS tactical: degrades gracefully for schematic
  3334 goal states; body tactic needs to address all subgoals uniformly.
  3335 
  3336 * Slightly more special eq_list/eq_set, with shortcut involving
  3337 pointer equality (assumes that eq relation is reflexive).
  3338 
  3339 * Classical tactics use proper Proof.context instead of historic types
  3340 claset/clasimpset.  Old-style declarations like addIs, addEs, addDs
  3341 operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type claset retains its use as
  3342 snapshot of the classical context, which can be recovered via
  3343 (put_claset HOL_cs) etc.  Type clasimpset has been discontinued.
  3344 INCOMPATIBILITY, classical tactics and derived proof methods require
  3345 proper Proof.context.
  3346 
  3347 
  3348 *** System ***
  3349 
  3350 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2, which was the last version
  3351 without proper multithreading and TimeLimit implementation.
  3352 
  3353 * Discontinued old lib/scripts/polyml-platform, which has been
  3354 obsolete since Isabelle2009-2.
  3355 
  3356 * Various optional external tools are referenced more robustly and
  3357 uniformly by explicit Isabelle settings as follows:
  3358 
  3359   ISABELLE_CSDP   (formerly CSDP_EXE)
  3360   ISABELLE_GHC    (formerly EXEC_GHC or GHC_PATH)
  3361   ISABELLE_OCAML  (formerly EXEC_OCAML)
  3362   ISABELLE_SWIPL  (formerly EXEC_SWIPL)
  3363   ISABELLE_YAP    (formerly EXEC_YAP)
  3364 
  3365 Note that automated detection from the file-system or search path has
  3366 been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3367 
  3368 * Scala layer provides JVM method invocation service for static
  3369 methods of type (String)String, see Invoke_Scala.method in ML.  For
  3370 example:
  3371 
  3372   Invoke_Scala.method "java.lang.System.getProperty" "java.home"
  3373 
  3374 Together with YXML.string_of_body/parse_body and XML.Encode/Decode
  3375 this allows to pass structured values between ML and Scala.
  3376 
  3377 * The IsabelleText fonts includes some further glyphs to support the
  3378 Prover IDE.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: users who happen to have
  3379 installed a local copy (which is normally *not* required) need to
  3380 delete or update it from ~~/lib/fonts/.
  3381 
  3382 
  3383 
  3384 New in Isabelle2011 (January 2011)
  3385 ----------------------------------
  3386 
  3387 *** General ***
  3388 
  3389 * Experimental Prover IDE based on Isabelle/Scala and jEdit (see
  3390 src/Tools/jEdit).  This also serves as IDE for Isabelle/ML, with
  3391 useful tooltips and hyperlinks produced from its static analysis.  The
  3392 bundled component provides an executable Isabelle tool that can be run
  3393 like this:
  3394 
  3395   Isabelle2011/bin/isabelle jedit
  3396 
  3397 * Significantly improved Isabelle/Isar implementation manual.
  3398 
  3399 * System settings: ISABELLE_HOME_USER now includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER
  3400 (and thus refers to something like $HOME/.isabelle/Isabelle2011),
  3401 while the default heap location within that directory lacks that extra
  3402 suffix.  This isolates multiple Isabelle installations from each
  3403 other, avoiding problems with old settings in new versions.
  3404 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to copy/upgrade old user settings manually.
  3405 
  3406 * Source files are always encoded as UTF-8, instead of old-fashioned
  3407 ISO-Latin-1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Isabelle LaTeX documents might require
  3408 the following package declarations:
  3409 
  3410   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
  3411   \usepackage{textcomp}
  3412 
  3413 * Explicit treatment of UTF-8 sequences as Isabelle symbols, such that
  3414 a Unicode character is treated as a single symbol, not a sequence of
  3415 non-ASCII bytes as before.  Since Isabelle/ML string literals may
  3416 contain symbols without further backslash escapes, Unicode can now be
  3417 used here as well.  Recall that Symbol.explode in ML provides a
  3418 consistent view on symbols, while raw explode (or String.explode)
  3419 merely give a byte-oriented representation.
  3420 
  3421 * Theory loader: source files are primarily located via the master
  3422 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  3423 The global load path is still partially available as legacy feature.
  3424 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY due to subtle change in file lookup: use
  3425 explicit paths, relatively to the theory.
  3426 
  3427 * Special treatment of ML file names has been discontinued.
  3428 Historically, optional extensions .ML or .sml were added on demand --
  3429 at the cost of clarity of file dependencies.  Recall that Isabelle/ML
  3430 files exclusively use the .ML extension.  Minor INCOMPATIBILTY.
  3431 
  3432 * Various options that affect pretty printing etc. are now properly
  3433 handled within the context via configuration options, instead of
  3434 unsynchronized references or print modes.  There are both ML Config.T
  3435 entities and Isar declaration attributes to access these.
  3436 
  3437   ML (Config.T)                 Isar (attribute)
  3438

  3449   Syntax.ambiguity_level        syntax_ambiguity_level
  3450 
  3451   Goal_Display.goals_limit      goals_limit
  3452   Goal_Display.show_main_goal   show_main_goal
  3453 
  3454   Method.rule_trace             rule_trace
  3455 
  3456   Thy_Output.display            thy_output_display

  3458   Thy_Output.indent             thy_output_indent
  3459   Thy_Output.source             thy_output_source
  3460   Thy_Output.break              thy_output_break
  3461 
  3462 Note that corresponding "..._default" references in ML may only be
  3463 changed globally at the ROOT session setup, but *not* within a theory.
  3464 The option "show_abbrevs" supersedes the former print mode
  3465 "no_abbrevs" with inverted meaning.
  3466 
  3467 * More systematic naming of some configuration options.
  3468 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3469 
  3470   trace_simp  ~>  simp_trace
  3471   debug_simp  ~>  simp_debug
  3472 
  3473 * Support for real valued configuration options, using simplistic
  3474 floating-point notation that coincides with the inner syntax for
  3475 float_token.
  3476 
  3477 * Support for real valued preferences (with approximative PGIP type):
  3478 front-ends need to accept "pgint" values in float notation.
  3479 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3480 
  3481 * The IsabelleText font now includes Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic from
  3482 DejaVu Sans.
  3483 
  3484 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.0 and 5.1 versions.
  3485 
  3486 
  3487 *** Pure ***
  3488 
  3489 * Command 'type_synonym' (with single argument) replaces somewhat
  3490 outdated 'types', which is still available as legacy feature for some
  3491 time.
  3492 
  3493 * Command 'nonterminal' (with 'and' separated list of arguments)
  3494 replaces somewhat outdated 'nonterminals'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3495 
  3496 * Command 'notepad' replaces former 'example_proof' for
  3497 experimentation in Isar without any result.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3498 
  3499 * Locale interpretation commands 'interpret' and 'sublocale' accept
  3500 lists of equations to map definitions in a locale to appropriate
  3501 entities in the context of the interpretation.  The 'interpretation'
  3502 command already provided this functionality.
  3503 
  3504 * Diagnostic command 'print_dependencies' prints the locale instances
  3505 that would be activated if the specified expression was interpreted in
  3506 the current context.  Variant "print_dependencies!" assumes a context
  3507 without interpretations.
  3508 
  3509 * Diagnostic command 'print_interps' prints interpretations in proofs
  3510 in addition to interpretations in theories.
  3511 
  3512 * Discontinued obsolete 'global' and 'local' commands to manipulate
  3513 the theory name space.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.  The ML functions
  3514 Sign.root_path and Sign.local_path may be applied directly where this
  3515 feature is still required for historical reasons.
  3516 
  3517 * Discontinued obsolete 'constdefs' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  3518 'definition' instead.
  3519 
  3520 * The "prems" fact, which refers to the accidental collection of
  3521 foundational premises in the context, is now explicitly marked as
  3522 legacy feature and will be discontinued soon.  Consider using "assms"
  3523 of the head statement or reference facts by explicit names.
  3524 
  3525 * Document antiquotations @{class} and @{type} print classes and type
  3526 constructors.
  3527 
  3528 * Document antiquotation @{file} checks file/directory entries within
  3529 the local file system.
  3530 
  3531 
  3532 *** HOL ***
  3533 
  3534 * Coercive subtyping: functions can be declared as coercions and type
  3535 inference will add them as necessary upon input of a term.  Theory
  3536 Complex_Main declares real :: nat => real and real :: int => real as
  3537 coercions. A coercion function f is declared like this:
  3538 
  3539   declare [[coercion f]]
  3540 
  3541 To lift coercions through type constructors (e.g. from nat => real to
  3542 nat list => real list), map functions can be declared, e.g.
  3543 
  3544   declare [[coercion_map map]]
  3545 
  3546 Currently coercion inference is activated only in theories including
  3547 real numbers, i.e. descendants of Complex_Main.  This is controlled by
  3548 the configuration option "coercion_enabled", e.g. it can be enabled in
  3549 other theories like this:
  3550 
  3551   declare [[coercion_enabled]]
  3552 
  3553 * Command 'partial_function' provides basic support for recursive
  3554 function definitions over complete partial orders.  Concrete instances
  3555 are provided for i) the option type, ii) tail recursion on arbitrary
  3556 types, and iii) the heap monad of Imperative_HOL.  See
  3557 src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy and src/HOL/Imperative_HOL/ex/Linked_Lists.thy
  3558 for examples.
  3559 
  3560 * Function package: f.psimps rules are no longer implicitly declared
  3561 as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3562 
  3563 * Datatype package: theorems generated for executable equality (class
  3564 "eq") carry proper names and are treated as default code equations.
  3565 
  3566 * Inductive package: now offers command 'inductive_simps' to
  3567 automatically derive instantiated and simplified equations for
  3568 inductive predicates, similar to 'inductive_cases'.
  3569 
  3570 * Command 'enriched_type' allows to register properties of the
  3571 functorial structure of types.
  3572 
  3573 * Improved infrastructure for term evaluation using code generator
  3574 techniques, in particular static evaluation conversions.
  3575 
  3576 * Code generator: Scala (2.8 or higher) has been added to the target
  3577 languages.
  3578 
  3579 * Code generator: globbing constant expressions "*" and "Theory.*"
  3580 have been replaced by the more idiomatic "_" and "Theory._".
  3581 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3582 
  3583 * Code generator: export_code without explicit file declaration prints
  3584 to standard output.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3585 
  3586 * Code generator: do not print function definitions for case
  3587 combinators any longer.
  3588 
  3589 * Code generator: simplification with rules determined with
  3590 src/Tools/Code/code_simp.ML and method "code_simp".
  3591 
  3592 * Code generator for records: more idiomatic representation of record
  3593 types.  Warning: records are not covered by ancient SML code
  3594 generation any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  In cases of need, a suitable
  3595 rep_datatype declaration helps to succeed then:
  3596 
  3597   record 'a foo = ...
  3598   ...
  3599   rep_datatype foo_ext ...
  3600 
  3601 * Records: logical foundation type for records does not carry a
  3602 '_type' suffix any longer (obsolete due to authentic syntax).
  3603 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3604 
  3605 * Quickcheck now by default uses exhaustive testing instead of random
  3606 testing.  Random testing can be invoked by "quickcheck [random]",
  3607 exhaustive testing by "quickcheck [exhaustive]".
  3608 
  3609 * Quickcheck instantiates polymorphic types with small finite
  3610 datatypes by default. This enables a simple execution mechanism to
  3611 handle quantifiers and function equality over the finite datatypes.
  3612 
  3613 * Quickcheck random generator has been renamed from "code" to
  3614 "random".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3615 
  3616 * Quickcheck now has a configurable time limit which is set to 30
  3617 seconds by default. This can be changed by adding [timeout = n] to the
  3618 quickcheck command. The time limit for Auto Quickcheck is still set
  3619 independently.
  3620 
  3621 * Quickcheck in locales considers interpretations of that locale for
  3622 counter example search.
  3623 
  3624 * Sledgehammer:
  3625   - Added "smt" and "remote_smt" provers based on the "smt" proof
  3626     method. See the Sledgehammer manual for details ("isabelle doc
  3627     sledgehammer").
  3628   - Renamed commands:
  3629     sledgehammer atp_info ~> sledgehammer running_provers
  3630     sledgehammer atp_kill ~> sledgehammer kill_provers
  3631     sledgehammer available_atps ~> sledgehammer available_provers
  3632     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3633   - Renamed options:
  3634     sledgehammer [atps = ...] ~> sledgehammer [provers = ...]
  3635     sledgehammer [atp = ...] ~> sledgehammer [prover = ...]
  3636     sledgehammer [timeout = 77 s] ~> sledgehammer [timeout = 77]
  3637     (and "ms" and "min" are no longer supported)
  3638     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3639 
  3640 * Nitpick:
  3641   - Renamed options:
  3642     nitpick [timeout = 77 s] ~> nitpick [timeout = 77]
  3643     nitpick [tac_timeout = 777 ms] ~> nitpick [tac_timeout = 0.777]
  3644     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3645   - Added support for partial quotient types.
  3646   - Added local versions of the "Nitpick.register_xxx" functions.
  3647   - Added "whack" option.
  3648   - Allow registration of quotient types as codatatypes.
  3649   - Improved "merge_type_vars" option to merge more types.
  3650   - Removed unsound "fast_descrs" option.
  3651   - Added custom symmetry breaking for datatypes, making it possible to reach
  3652     higher cardinalities.
  3653   - Prevent the expansion of too large definitions.
  3654 
  3655 * Proof methods "metis" and "meson" now have configuration options
  3656 "meson_trace", "metis_trace", and "metis_verbose" that can be enabled
  3657 to diagnose these tools. E.g.
  3658 
  3659     using [[metis_trace = true]]
  3660 
  3661 * Auto Solve: Renamed "Auto Solve Direct".  The tool is now available
  3662 manually as command 'solve_direct'.
  3663 
  3664 * The default SMT solver Z3 must be enabled explicitly (due to
  3665 licensing issues) by setting the environment variable
  3666 Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL in etc/settings of the component, for example.  For
  3667 commercial applications, the SMT solver CVC3 is provided as fall-back;
  3668 changing the SMT solver is done via the configuration option
  3669 "smt_solver".
  3670 
  3671 * Remote SMT solvers need to be referred to by the "remote_" prefix,
  3672 i.e. "remote_cvc3" and "remote_z3".
  3673 
  3674 * Added basic SMT support for datatypes, records, and typedefs using
  3675 the oracle mode (no proofs).  Direct support of pairs has been dropped
  3676 in exchange (pass theorems fst_conv snd_conv pair_collapse to the SMT
  3677 support for a similar behavior).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3678 
  3679 * Changed SMT configuration options:
  3680   - Renamed:
  3681     z3_proofs ~> smt_oracle (with inverted meaning)
  3682     z3_trace_assms ~> smt_trace_used_facts
  3683     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3684   - Added:
  3685     smt_verbose
  3686     smt_random_seed
  3687     smt_datatypes
  3688     smt_infer_triggers
  3689     smt_monomorph_limit
  3690     cvc3_options
  3691     remote_cvc3_options
  3692     remote_z3_options
  3693     yices_options
  3694 
  3695 * Boogie output files (.b2i files) need to be declared in the theory
  3696 header.
  3697 
  3698 * Simplification procedure "list_to_set_comprehension" rewrites list
  3699 comprehensions applied to List.set to set comprehensions.  Occasional
  3700 INCOMPATIBILITY, may be deactivated like this:
  3701 
  3702   declare [[simproc del: list_to_set_comprehension]]
  3703 
  3704 * Removed old version of primrec package.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3705 
  3706 * Removed simplifier congruence rule of "prod_case", as has for long
  3707 been the case with "split".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3708 
  3709 * String.literal is a type, but not a datatype.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3710 
  3711 * Removed [split_format ... and ... and ...] version of
  3712 [split_format].  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3713 
  3714 * Predicate "sorted" now defined inductively, with nice induction
  3715 rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY: former sorted.simps now named sorted_simps.
  3716 
  3717 * Constant "contents" renamed to "the_elem", to free the generic name
  3718 contents for other uses.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3719 
  3720 * Renamed class eq and constant eq (for code generation) to class
  3721 equal and constant equal, plus renaming of related facts and various
  3722 tuning.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3723 
  3724 * Dropped type classes mult_mono and mult_mono1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3725 
  3726 * Removed output syntax "'a ~=> 'b" for "'a => 'b option".
  3727 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3728 
  3729 * Renamed theory Fset to Cset, type Fset.fset to Cset.set, in order to
  3730 avoid confusion with finite sets.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3731 
  3732 * Abandoned locales equiv, congruent and congruent2 for equivalence
  3733 relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use equivI rather than equiv_intro (same
  3734 for congruent(2)).
  3735 
  3736 * Some previously unqualified names have been qualified:
  3737 
  3738   types
  3739     bool ~> HOL.bool
  3740     nat ~> Nat.nat
  3741 
  3742   constants
  3743     Trueprop ~> HOL.Trueprop
  3744     True ~> HOL.True
  3745     False ~> HOL.False
  3746     op & ~> HOL.conj
  3747     op | ~> HOL.disj
  3748     op --> ~> HOL.implies
  3749     op = ~> HOL.eq
  3750     Not ~> HOL.Not
  3751     The ~> HOL.The
  3752     All ~> HOL.All
  3753     Ex ~> HOL.Ex
  3754     Ex1 ~> HOL.Ex1

  3760     Pair ~> Product_Type.Pair
  3761     fst ~> Product_Type.fst
  3762     snd ~> Product_Type.snd
  3763     curry ~> Product_Type.curry
  3764     op : ~> Set.member
  3765     Collect ~> Set.Collect
  3766 
  3767 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3768 
  3769 * More canonical naming convention for some fundamental definitions:
  3770 
  3771     bot_bool_eq ~> bot_bool_def
  3772     top_bool_eq ~> top_bool_def
  3773     inf_bool_eq ~> inf_bool_def
  3774     sup_bool_eq ~> sup_bool_def
  3775     bot_fun_eq  ~> bot_fun_def
  3776     top_fun_eq  ~> top_fun_def
  3777     inf_fun_eq  ~> inf_fun_def
  3778     sup_fun_eq  ~> sup_fun_def
  3779 
  3780 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3781 
  3782 * More stylized fact names:
  3783 
  3784   expand_fun_eq ~> fun_eq_iff
  3785   expand_set_eq ~> set_eq_iff
  3786   set_ext       ~> set_eqI
  3787   nat_number    ~> eval_nat_numeral
  3788 
  3789 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3790 
  3791 * Refactoring of code-generation specific operations in theory List:
  3792 
  3793   constants
  3794     null ~> List.null
  3795 
  3796   facts
  3797     mem_iff ~> member_def
  3798     null_empty ~> null_def
  3799 
  3800 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that these were not supposed to be used
  3801 regularly unless for striking reasons; their main purpose was code
  3802 generation.
  3803 
  3804 Various operations from the Haskell prelude are used for generating
  3805 Haskell code.
  3806 
  3807 * Term "bij f" is now an abbreviation of "bij_betw f UNIV UNIV".  Term
  3808 "surj f" is now an abbreviation of "range f = UNIV".  The theorems
  3809 bij_def and surj_def are unchanged.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3810 
  3811 * Abolished some non-alphabetic type names: "prod" and "sum" replace
  3812 "*" and "+" respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3813 
  3814 * Name "Plus" of disjoint sum operator "<+>" is now hidden.  Write
  3815 "Sum_Type.Plus" instead.
  3816 
  3817 * Constant "split" has been merged with constant "prod_case"; names of
  3818 ML functions, facts etc. involving split have been retained so far,
  3819 though.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3820 
  3821 * Dropped old infix syntax "_ mem _" for List.member; use "_ : set _"
  3822 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3823 
  3824 * Removed lemma "Option.is_none_none" which duplicates "is_none_def".
  3825 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3826 
  3827 * Former theory Library/Enum is now part of the HOL-Main image.
  3828 INCOMPATIBILITY: all constants of the Enum theory now have to be
  3829 referred to by its qualified name.
  3830 
  3831   enum    ~>  Enum.enum
  3832   nlists  ~>  Enum.nlists
  3833   product ~>  Enum.product
  3834 
  3835 * Theory Library/Monad_Syntax provides do-syntax for monad types.
  3836 Syntax in Library/State_Monad has been changed to avoid ambiguities.
  3837 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3838 
  3839 * Theory Library/SetsAndFunctions has been split into
  3840 Library/Function_Algebras and Library/Set_Algebras; canonical names
  3841 for instance definitions for functions; various improvements.
  3842 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3843 
  3844 * Theory Library/Multiset provides stable quicksort implementation of
  3845 sort_key.
  3846 
  3847 * Theory Library/Multiset: renamed empty_idemp ~> empty_neutral.
  3848 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3849 
  3850 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: introduced a type class for euclidean
  3851 space.  Most theorems are now stated in terms of euclidean spaces
  3852 instead of finite cartesian products.
  3853 
  3854   types
  3855     real ^ 'n ~>  'a::real_vector
  3856               ~>  'a::euclidean_space
  3857               ~>  'a::ordered_euclidean_space
  3858         (depends on your needs)
  3859 
  3860   constants
  3861      _ $ _        ~> _ $$ _
  3862      \<chi> x. _  ~> \<chi>\<chi> x. _
  3863      CARD('n)     ~> DIM('a)
  3864 
  3865 Also note that the indices are now natural numbers and not from some
  3866 finite type. Finite cartesian products of euclidean spaces, products
  3867 of euclidean spaces the real and complex numbers are instantiated to
  3868 be euclidean_spaces.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3869 
  3870 * Session Probability: introduced pextreal as positive extended real
  3871 numbers.  Use pextreal as value for measures.  Introduce the
  3872 Radon-Nikodym derivative, product spaces and Fubini's theorem for
  3873 arbitrary sigma finite measures.  Introduces Lebesgue measure based on
  3874 the integral in Multivariate Analysis.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3875 
  3876 * Session Imperative_HOL: revamped, corrected dozens of inadequacies.
  3877 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3878 
  3879 * Session SPARK (with image HOL-SPARK) provides commands to load and
  3880 prove verification conditions generated by the SPARK Ada program
  3881 verifier.  See also src/HOL/SPARK and src/HOL/SPARK/Examples.
  3882 
  3883 
  3884 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  3885 
  3886 * Theorems for additive ring operations (locale abelian_monoid and
  3887 descendants) are generated by interpretation from their multiplicative
  3888 counterparts.  Names (in particular theorem names) have the mandatory
  3889 qualifier 'add'.  Previous theorem names are redeclared for
  3890 compatibility.
  3891 
  3892 * Structure "int_ring" is now an abbreviation (previously a
  3893 definition).  This fits more natural with advanced interpretations.
  3894 
  3895 
  3896 *** HOLCF ***
  3897 
  3898 * The domain package now runs in definitional mode by default: The
  3899 former command 'new_domain' is now called 'domain'.  To use the domain
  3900 package in its original axiomatic mode, use 'domain (unsafe)'.
  3901 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3902 
  3903 * The new class "domain" is now the default sort.  Class "predomain"
  3904 is an unpointed version of "domain". Theories can be updated by
  3905 replacing sort annotations as shown below.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3906 
  3907   'a::type ~> 'a::countable
  3908   'a::cpo  ~> 'a::predomain
  3909   'a::pcpo ~> 'a::domain
  3910 
  3911 * The old type class "rep" has been superseded by class "domain".
  3912 Accordingly, users of the definitional package must remove any
  3913 "default_sort rep" declarations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3914 
  3915 * The domain package (definitional mode) now supports unpointed
  3916 predomain argument types, as long as they are marked 'lazy'. (Strict
  3917 arguments must be in class "domain".) For example, the following
  3918 domain definition now works:
  3919 
  3920   domain natlist = nil | cons (lazy "nat discr") (lazy "natlist")
  3921 
  3922 * Theory HOLCF/Library/HOL_Cpo provides cpo and predomain class
  3923 instances for types from main HOL: bool, nat, int, char, 'a + 'b,
  3924 'a option, and 'a list.  Additionally, it configures fixrec and the
  3925 domain package to work with these types.  For example:
  3926 
  3927   fixrec isInl :: "('a + 'b) u -> tr"
  3928     where "isInl$(up$(Inl x)) = TT" | "isInl$(up$(Inr y)) = FF"
  3929 
  3930   domain V = VFun (lazy "V -> V") | VCon (lazy "nat") (lazy "V list")
  3931 
  3932 * The "(permissive)" option of fixrec has been replaced with a
  3933 per-equation "(unchecked)" option. See
  3934 src/HOL/HOLCF/Tutorial/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3935 
  3936 * The "bifinite" class no longer fixes a constant "approx"; the class
  3937 now just asserts that such a function exists.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3938 
  3939 * Former type "alg_defl" has been renamed to "defl".  HOLCF no longer
  3940 defines an embedding of type 'a defl into udom by default; instances
  3941 of "bifinite" and "domain" classes are available in
  3942 src/HOL/HOLCF/Library/Defl_Bifinite.thy.
  3943 
  3944 * The syntax "REP('a)" has been replaced with "DEFL('a)".
  3945 
  3946 * The predicate "directed" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3947 
  3948 * The type class "finite_po" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3949 
  3950 * The function "cprod_map" has been renamed to "prod_map".
  3951 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3952 
  3953 * The monadic bind operator on each powerdomain has new binder syntax
  3954 similar to sets, e.g. "\<Union>\<sharp>x\<in>xs. t" represents
  3955 "upper_bind\<cdot>xs\<cdot>(\<Lambda> x. t)".
  3956 
  3957 * The infix syntax for binary union on each powerdomain has changed
  3958 from e.g. "+\<sharp>" to "\<union>\<sharp>", for consistency with set
  3959 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3960 
  3961 * The constant "UU" has been renamed to "bottom".  The syntax "UU" is
  3962 still supported as an input translation.
  3963 
  3964 * Renamed some theorems (the original names are also still available).
  3965 
  3966   expand_fun_below   ~> fun_below_iff
  3967   below_fun_ext      ~> fun_belowI
  3968   expand_cfun_eq     ~> cfun_eq_iff
  3969   ext_cfun           ~> cfun_eqI
  3970   expand_cfun_below  ~> cfun_below_iff
  3971   below_cfun_ext     ~> cfun_belowI
  3972   cont2cont_Rep_CFun ~> cont2cont_APP
  3973 
  3974 * The Abs and Rep functions for various types have changed names.
  3975 Related theorem names have also changed to match. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3976 
  3977   Rep_CFun  ~> Rep_cfun
  3978   Abs_CFun  ~> Abs_cfun
  3979   Rep_Sprod ~> Rep_sprod
  3980   Abs_Sprod ~> Abs_sprod
  3981   Rep_Ssum  ~> Rep_ssum
  3982   Abs_Ssum  ~> Abs_ssum
  3983 
  3984 * Lemmas with names of the form *_defined_iff or *_strict_iff have
  3985 been renamed to *_bottom_iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3986 
  3987 * Various changes to bisimulation/coinduction with domain package:
  3988 
  3989   - Definitions of "bisim" constants no longer mention definedness.
  3990   - With mutual recursion, "bisim" predicate is now curried.
  3991   - With mutual recursion, each type gets a separate coind theorem.
  3992   - Variable names in bisim_def and coinduct rules have changed.
  3993 
  3994 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3995 
  3996 * Case combinators generated by the domain package for type "foo" are
  3997 now named "foo_case" instead of "foo_when".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3998 
  3999 * Several theorems have been renamed to more accurately reflect the
  4000 names of constants and types involved.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4070 
  4071 
  4072 *** FOL and ZF ***
  4073 
  4074 * All constant names are now qualified internally and use proper
  4075 identifiers, e.g. "IFOL.eq" instead of "op =".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4076 
  4077 
  4078 *** ML ***
  4079 
  4080 * Antiquotation @{assert} inlines a function bool -> unit that raises
  4081 Fail if the argument is false.  Due to inlining the source position of
  4082 failed assertions is included in the error output.
  4083 
  4084 * Discontinued antiquotation @{theory_ref}, which is obsolete since ML
  4085 text is in practice always evaluated with a stable theory checkpoint.
  4086 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use (Theory.check_thy @{theory}) instead.
  4087 
  4088 * Antiquotation @{theory A} refers to theory A from the ancestry of
  4089 the current context, not any accidental theory loader state as before.
  4090 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, subtle change in semantics.
  4091 
  4092 * Syntax.pretty_priority (default 0) configures the required priority
  4093 of pretty-printed output and thus affects insertion of parentheses.
  4094 
  4095 * Syntax.default_root (default "any") configures the inner syntax
  4096 category (nonterminal symbol) for parsing of terms.
  4097 
  4098 * Former exception Library.UnequalLengths now coincides with
  4099 ListPair.UnequalLengths.
  4100 
  4101 * Renamed structure MetaSimplifier to Raw_Simplifier.  Note that the
  4102 main functionality is provided by structure Simplifier.
  4103 
  4104 * Renamed raw "explode" function to "raw_explode" to emphasize its
  4105 meaning.  Note that internally to Isabelle, Symbol.explode is used in
  4106 almost all situations.
  4107 
  4108 * Discontinued obsolete function sys_error and exception SYS_ERROR.
  4109 See implementation manual for further details on exceptions in
  4110 Isabelle/ML.
  4111 
  4112 * Renamed setmp_noncritical to Unsynchronized.setmp to emphasize its
  4113 meaning.
  4114 
  4115 * Renamed structure PureThy to Pure_Thy and moved most of its
  4116 operations to structure Global_Theory, to emphasize that this is
  4117 rarely-used global-only stuff.
  4118 
  4119 * Discontinued Output.debug.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use plain writeln
  4120 instead (or tracing for high-volume output).
  4121 
  4122 * Configuration option show_question_marks only affects regular pretty
  4123 printing of types and terms, not raw Term.string_of_vname.
  4124 
  4125 * ML_Context.thm and ML_Context.thms are no longer pervasive.  Rare
  4126 INCOMPATIBILITY, superseded by static antiquotations @{thm} and
  4127 @{thms} for most purposes.
  4128 
  4129 * ML structure Unsynchronized is never opened, not even in Isar
  4130 interaction mode as before.  Old Unsynchronized.set etc. have been
  4131 discontinued -- use plain := instead.  This should be *rare* anyway,
  4132 since modern tools always work via official context data, notably
  4133 configuration options.
  4134 
  4135 * Parallel and asynchronous execution requires special care concerning
  4136 interrupts.  Structure Exn provides some convenience functions that
  4137 avoid working directly with raw Interrupt.  User code must not absorb
  4138 interrupts -- intermediate handling (for cleanup etc.) needs to be
  4139 followed by re-raising of the original exception.  Another common
  4140 source of mistakes are "handle _" patterns, which make the meaning of
  4141 the program subject to physical effects of the environment.

  4144 
  4145 New in Isabelle2009-2 (June 2010)
  4146 ---------------------------------
  4147 
  4148 *** General ***
  4149 
  4150 * Authentic syntax for *all* logical entities (type classes, type
  4151 constructors, term constants): provides simple and robust
  4152 correspondence between formal entities and concrete syntax.  Within
  4153 the parse tree / AST representations, "constants" are decorated by
  4154 their category (class, type, const) and spelled out explicitly with
  4155 their full internal name.
  4156 
  4157 Substantial INCOMPATIBILITY concerning low-level syntax declarations
  4158 and translations (translation rules and translation functions in ML).
  4159 Some hints on upgrading:
  4160 
  4161   - Many existing uses of 'syntax' and 'translations' can be replaced
  4162     by more modern 'type_notation', 'notation' and 'abbreviation',
  4163     which are independent of this issue.
  4164 
  4165   - 'translations' require markup within the AST; the term syntax
  4166     provides the following special forms:
  4167 
  4168       CONST c   -- produces syntax version of constant c from context
  4169       XCONST c  -- literally c, checked as constant from context
  4170       c         -- literally c, if declared by 'syntax'
  4171 
  4172     Plain identifiers are treated as AST variables -- occasionally the
  4173     system indicates accidental variables via the error "rhs contains
  4174     extra variables".
  4175 
  4176     Type classes and type constructors are marked according to their
  4177     concrete syntax.  Some old translations rules need to be written
  4178     for the "type" category, using type constructor application
  4179     instead of pseudo-term application of the default category
  4180     "logic".
  4181 
  4182   - 'parse_translation' etc. in ML may use the following
  4183     antiquotations:
  4184 
  4185       @{class_syntax c}   -- type class c within parse tree / AST
  4186       @{term_syntax c}    -- type constructor c within parse tree / AST
  4187       @{const_syntax c}   -- ML version of "CONST c" above
  4188       @{syntax_const c}   -- literally c (checked wrt. 'syntax' declarations)
  4189 
  4190   - Literal types within 'typed_print_translations', i.e. those *not*
  4191     represented as pseudo-terms are represented verbatim.  Use @{class
  4192     c} or @{type_name c} here instead of the above syntax
  4193     antiquotations.
  4194 
  4195 Note that old non-authentic syntax was based on unqualified base
  4196 names, so all of the above "constant" names would coincide.  Recall
  4197 that 'print_syntax' and ML_command "set Syntax.trace_ast" help to
  4198 diagnose syntax problems.
  4199 
  4200 * Type constructors admit general mixfix syntax, not just infix.
  4201 
  4202 * Concrete syntax may be attached to local entities without a proof
  4203 body, too.  This works via regular mixfix annotations for 'fix',
  4204 'def', 'obtain' etc. or via the explicit 'write' command, which is
  4205 similar to the 'notation' command in theory specifications.
  4206 
  4207 * Discontinued unnamed infix syntax (legacy feature for many years) --
  4208 need to specify constant name and syntax separately.  Internal ML
  4209 datatype constructors have been renamed from InfixName to Infix etc.
  4210 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4211 
  4212 * Schematic theorem statements need to be explicitly markup as such,
  4213 via commands 'schematic_lemma', 'schematic_theorem',
  4214 'schematic_corollary'.  Thus the relevance of the proof is made
  4215 syntactically clear, which impacts performance in a parallel or
  4216 asynchronous interactive environment.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4217 
  4218 * Use of cumulative prems via "!" in some proof methods has been
  4219 discontinued (old legacy feature).
  4220 
  4221 * References 'trace_simp' and 'debug_simp' have been replaced by
  4222 configuration options stored in the context. Enabling tracing (the
  4223 case of debugging is similar) in proofs works via
  4224 
  4225   using [[trace_simp = true]]
  4226 
  4227 Tracing is then active for all invocations of the simplifier in
  4228 subsequent goal refinement steps. Tracing may also still be enabled or
  4229 disabled via the ProofGeneral settings menu.
  4230 
  4231 * Separate commands 'hide_class', 'hide_type', 'hide_const',
  4232 'hide_fact' replace the former 'hide' KIND command.  Minor
  4233 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4234 
  4235 * Improved parallelism of proof term normalization: usedir -p2 -q0 is
  4236 more efficient than combinations with -q1 or -q2.
  4237 
  4238 
  4239 *** Pure ***
  4240 
  4241 * Proofterms record type-class reasoning explicitly, using the
  4242 "unconstrain" operation internally.  This eliminates all sort
  4243 constraints from a theorem and proof, introducing explicit
  4244 OFCLASS-premises.  On the proof term level, this operation is
  4245 automatically applied at theorem boundaries, such that closed proofs
  4246 are always free of sort constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools that
  4247 inspect proof terms.
  4248 
  4249 * Local theory specifications may depend on extra type variables that
  4250 are not present in the result type -- arguments TYPE('a) :: 'a itself
  4251 are added internally.  For example:
  4252 
  4253   definition unitary :: bool where "unitary = (ALL (x::'a) y. x = y)"
  4254 
  4255 * Predicates of locales introduced by classes carry a mandatory
  4256 "class" prefix.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4257 
  4258 * Vacuous class specifications observe default sort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4259 
  4260 * Old 'axclass' command has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  4261 'class' instead.
  4262 
  4263 * Command 'code_reflect' allows to incorporate generated ML code into
  4264 runtime environment; replaces immature code_datatype antiquotation.
  4265 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4266 
  4267 * Code generator: simple concept for abstract datatypes obeying
  4268 invariants.
  4269 
  4270 * Code generator: details of internal data cache have no impact on the
  4271 user space functionality any longer.
  4272 
  4273 * Methods "unfold_locales" and "intro_locales" ignore non-locale
  4274 subgoals.  This is more appropriate for interpretations with 'where'.
  4275 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4276 
  4277 * Command 'example_proof' opens an empty proof body.  This allows to
  4278 experiment with Isar, without producing any persistent result.
  4279 
  4280 * Commands 'type_notation' and 'no_type_notation' declare type syntax
  4281 within a local theory context, with explicit checking of the
  4282 constructors involved (in contrast to the raw 'syntax' versions).
  4283 
  4284 * Commands 'types' and 'typedecl' now work within a local theory
  4285 context -- without introducing dependencies on parameters or
  4286 assumptions, which is not possible in Isabelle/Pure.
  4287 
  4288 * Command 'defaultsort' has been renamed to 'default_sort', it works
  4289 within a local theory context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4290 
  4291 
  4292 *** HOL ***
  4293 
  4294 * Command 'typedef' now works within a local theory context -- without
  4295 introducing dependencies on parameters or assumptions, which is not
  4296 possible in Isabelle/Pure/HOL.  Note that the logical environment may
  4297 contain multiple interpretations of local typedefs (with different
  4298 non-emptiness proofs), even in a global theory context.
  4299 
  4300 * New package for quotient types.  Commands 'quotient_type' and
  4301 'quotient_definition' may be used for defining types and constants by
  4302 quotient constructions.  An example is the type of integers created by
  4303 quotienting pairs of natural numbers:
  4304 
  4305   fun
  4306     intrel :: "(nat * nat) => (nat * nat) => bool"
  4307   where
  4308     "intrel (x, y) (u, v) = (x + v = u + y)"
  4309 
  4310   quotient_type int = "nat * nat" / intrel
  4311     by (auto simp add: equivp_def expand_fun_eq)
  4312 
  4313   quotient_definition
  4314     "0::int" is "(0::nat, 0::nat)"
  4315 
  4316 The method "lifting" can be used to lift of theorems from the
  4317 underlying "raw" type to the quotient type.  The example
  4318 src/HOL/Quotient_Examples/FSet.thy includes such a quotient
  4319 construction and provides a reasoning infrastructure for finite sets.
  4320 
  4321 * Renamed Library/Quotient.thy to Library/Quotient_Type.thy to avoid
  4322 clash with new theory Quotient in Main HOL.
  4323 
  4324 * Moved the SMT binding into the main HOL session, eliminating
  4325 separate HOL-SMT session.
  4326 
  4327 * List membership infix mem operation is only an input abbreviation.
  4328 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4329 
  4330 * Theory Library/Word.thy has been removed.  Use library Word/Word.thy
  4331 for future developements; former Library/Word.thy is still present in
  4332 the AFP entry RSAPPS.
  4333 
  4334 * Theorem Int.int_induct renamed to Int.int_of_nat_induct and is no
  4335 longer shadowed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4336 
  4337 * Dropped theorem duplicate comp_arith; use semiring_norm instead.
  4338 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4339 
  4340 * Dropped theorem RealPow.real_sq_order; use power2_le_imp_le instead.
  4341 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4342 
  4343 * Dropped normalizing_semiring etc; use the facts in semiring classes
  4344 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4345 
  4346 * Dropped several real-specific versions of lemmas about floor and
  4347 ceiling; use the generic lemmas from theory "Archimedean_Field"
  4348 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4380 
  4381 * Theory "Finite_Set": various folding_XXX locales facilitate the
  4382 application of the various fold combinators on finite sets.
  4383 
  4384 * Library theory "RBT" renamed to "RBT_Impl"; new library theory "RBT"
  4385 provides abstract red-black tree type which is backed by "RBT_Impl" as
  4386 implementation.  INCOMPATIBILTY.
  4387 
  4388 * Theory Library/Coinductive_List has been removed -- superseded by
  4389 AFP/thys/Coinductive.
  4390 
  4391 * Theory PReal, including the type "preal" and related operations, has
  4392 been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4393 
  4394 * Real: new development using Cauchy Sequences.
  4395 
  4396 * Split off theory "Big_Operators" containing setsum, setprod,
  4397 Inf_fin, Sup_fin, Min, Max from theory Finite_Set.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4398 
  4399 * Theory "Rational" renamed to "Rat", for consistency with "Nat",
  4400 "Int" etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4401 
  4402 * Constant Rat.normalize needs to be qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4403 
  4404 * New set of rules "ac_simps" provides combined assoc / commute
  4405 rewrites for all interpretations of the appropriate generic locales.
  4406 
  4407 * Renamed theory "OrderedGroup" to "Groups" and split theory
  4408 "Ring_and_Field" into theories "Rings" and "Fields"; for more
  4409 appropriate and more consistent names suitable for name prefixes
  4410 within the HOL theories.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4411 
  4412 * Some generic constants have been put to appropriate theories:
  4413   - less_eq, less: Orderings
  4414   - zero, one, plus, minus, uminus, times, abs, sgn: Groups
  4415   - inverse, divide: Rings
  4416 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4417 
  4418 * More consistent naming of type classes involving orderings (and
  4419 lattices):
  4420 
  4421     lower_semilattice                   ~> semilattice_inf

  4457     ordered_semiring_strict             ~> linordered_semiring_strict
  4458 
  4459   The following slightly odd type classes have been moved to a
  4460   separate theory Library/Lattice_Algebras:
  4461 
  4462     lordered_ab_group_add               ~> lattice_ab_group_add
  4463     lordered_ab_group_add_abs           ~> lattice_ab_group_add_abs
  4464     lordered_ab_group_add_meet          ~> semilattice_inf_ab_group_add
  4465     lordered_ab_group_add_join          ~> semilattice_sup_ab_group_add
  4466     lordered_ring                       ~> lattice_ring
  4467 
  4468 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4469 
  4470 * Refined field classes:
  4471   - classes division_ring_inverse_zero, field_inverse_zero,
  4472     linordered_field_inverse_zero include rule inverse 0 = 0 --
  4473     subsumes former division_by_zero class;
  4474   - numerous lemmas have been ported from field to division_ring.
  4475 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4476 
  4477 * Refined algebra theorem collections:
  4478   - dropped theorem group group_simps, use algebra_simps instead;
  4479   - dropped theorem group ring_simps, use field_simps instead;
  4480   - proper theorem collection field_simps subsumes former theorem
  4481     groups field_eq_simps and field_simps;
  4482   - dropped lemma eq_minus_self_iff which is a duplicate for
  4483     equal_neg_zero.
  4484 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4485 
  4486 * Theory Finite_Set and List: some lemmas have been generalized from
  4487 sets to lattices:
  4488 
  4489   fun_left_comm_idem_inter      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_inf
  4490   fun_left_comm_idem_union      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_sup
  4491   inter_Inter_fold_inter        ~> inf_Inf_fold_inf

  4497   INTER_fold_inter              ~> INFI_fold_inf
  4498   UNION_fold_union              ~> SUPR_fold_sup
  4499 
  4500 * Theory "Complete_Lattice": lemmas top_def and bot_def have been
  4501 replaced by the more convenient lemmas Inf_empty and Sup_empty.
  4502 Dropped lemmas Inf_insert_simp and Sup_insert_simp, which are subsumed
  4503 by Inf_insert and Sup_insert.  Lemmas Inf_UNIV and Sup_UNIV replace
  4504 former Inf_Univ and Sup_Univ.  Lemmas inf_top_right and sup_bot_right
  4505 subsume inf_top and sup_bot respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4506 
  4507 * Reorganized theory Multiset: swapped notation of pointwise and
  4508 multiset order:
  4509 
  4510   - pointwise ordering is instance of class order with standard syntax
  4511     <= and <;
  4512   - multiset ordering has syntax <=# and <#; partial order properties
  4513     are provided by means of interpretation with prefix
  4514     multiset_order;
  4515   - less duplication, less historical organization of sections,
  4516     conversion from associations lists to multisets, rudimentary code
  4517     generation;
  4518   - use insert_DiffM2 [symmetric] instead of elem_imp_eq_diff_union,
  4519     if needed.
  4520 
  4521 Renamed:
  4522 
  4523   multiset_eq_conv_count_eq  ~>  multiset_ext_iff
  4524   multi_count_ext  ~>  multiset_ext
  4525   diff_union_inverse2  ~>  diff_union_cancelR
  4526 
  4527 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4528 
  4529 * Theory Permutation: replaced local "remove" by List.remove1.
  4530 
  4531 * Code generation: ML and OCaml code is decorated with signatures.
  4532 
  4533 * Theory List: added transpose.
  4534 
  4535 * Library/Nat_Bijection.thy is a collection of bijective functions
  4536 between nat and other types, which supersedes the older libraries
  4537 Library/Nat_Int_Bij.thy and HOLCF/NatIso.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4567   Nat_Int_Bij.bij_int_to_nat_bij  ~> bij_int_decode
  4568 
  4569 * Sledgehammer:
  4570   - Renamed ATP commands:
  4571     atp_info     ~> sledgehammer running_atps
  4572     atp_kill     ~> sledgehammer kill_atps
  4573     atp_messages ~> sledgehammer messages
  4574     atp_minimize ~> sledgehammer minimize
  4575     print_atps   ~> sledgehammer available_atps
  4576     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4577   - Added user's manual ("isabelle doc sledgehammer").
  4578   - Added option syntax and "sledgehammer_params" to customize
  4579     Sledgehammer's behavior.  See the manual for details.
  4580   - Modified the Isar proof reconstruction code so that it produces
  4581     direct proofs rather than proofs by contradiction.  (This feature
  4582     is still experimental.)
  4583   - Made Isar proof reconstruction work for SPASS, remote ATPs, and in
  4584     full-typed mode.
  4585   - Added support for TPTP syntax for SPASS via the "spass_tptp" ATP.
  4586 
  4587 * Nitpick:
  4588   - Added and implemented "binary_ints" and "bits" options.
  4589   - Added "std" option and implemented support for nonstandard models.
  4590   - Added and implemented "finitize" option to improve the precision
  4591     of infinite datatypes based on a monotonicity analysis.
  4592   - Added support for quotient types.
  4593   - Added support for "specification" and "ax_specification"
  4594     constructs.
  4595   - Added support for local definitions (for "function" and
  4596     "termination" proofs).
  4597   - Added support for term postprocessors.
  4598   - Optimized "Multiset.multiset" and "FinFun.finfun".
  4599   - Improved efficiency of "destroy_constrs" optimization.
  4600   - Fixed soundness bugs related to "destroy_constrs" optimization and
  4601     record getters.
  4602   - Fixed soundness bug related to higher-order constructors.
  4603   - Fixed soundness bug when "full_descrs" is enabled.
  4604   - Improved precision of set constructs.
  4605   - Added "atoms" option.
  4606   - Added cache to speed up repeated Kodkod invocations on the same
  4607     problems.
  4608   - Renamed "MiniSatJNI", "zChaffJNI", "BerkMinAlloy", and
  4609     "SAT4JLight" to "MiniSat_JNI", "zChaff_JNI", "BerkMin_Alloy", and
  4610     "SAT4J_Light".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4611   - Removed "skolemize", "uncurry", "sym_break", "flatten_prop",
  4612     "sharing_depth", and "show_skolems" options.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4613   - Removed "nitpick_intro" attribute.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4614 
  4615 * Method "induct" now takes instantiations of the form t, where t is not
  4616   a variable, as a shorthand for "x == t", where x is a fresh variable.
  4617   If this is not intended, t has to be enclosed in parentheses.
  4618   By default, the equalities generated by definitional instantiations
  4619   are pre-simplified, which may cause parameters of inductive cases
  4620   to disappear, or may even delete some of the inductive cases.
  4621   Use "induct (no_simp)" instead of "induct" to restore the old
  4622   behaviour. The (no_simp) option is also understood by the "cases"
  4623   and "nominal_induct" methods, which now perform pre-simplification, too.
  4624   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4625 
  4626 
  4627 *** HOLCF ***
  4628 
  4629 * Variable names in lemmas generated by the domain package have
  4630 changed; the naming scheme is now consistent with the HOL datatype
  4631 package.  Some proof scripts may be affected, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4632 
  4633 * The domain package no longer defines the function "foo_copy" for
  4634 recursive domain "foo".  The reach lemma is now stated directly in
  4635 terms of "foo_take".  Lemmas and proofs that mention "foo_copy" must
  4636 be reformulated in terms of "foo_take", INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4637 
  4638 * Most definedness lemmas generated by the domain package (previously
  4639 of the form "x ~= UU ==> foo$x ~= UU") now have an if-and-only-if form
  4640 like "foo$x = UU <-> x = UU", which works better as a simp rule.
  4641 Proofs that used definedness lemmas as intro rules may break,
  4642 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4643 
  4644 * Induction and casedist rules generated by the domain package now
  4645 declare proper case_names (one called "bottom", and one named for each
  4646 constructor).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4647 
  4648 * For mutually-recursive domains, separate "reach" and "take_lemma"
  4649 rules are generated for each domain, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4650 
  4651   foo_bar.reach       ~> foo.reach  bar.reach
  4652   foo_bar.take_lemmas ~> foo.take_lemma  bar.take_lemma
  4653 
  4654 * Some lemmas generated by the domain package have been renamed for
  4655 consistency with the datatype package, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4656 
  4657   foo.ind        ~> foo.induct
  4658   foo.finite_ind ~> foo.finite_induct
  4659   foo.coind      ~> foo.coinduct
  4660   foo.casedist   ~> foo.exhaust
  4661   foo.exhaust    ~> foo.nchotomy
  4662 
  4663 * For consistency with other definition packages, the fixrec package
  4664 now generates qualified theorem names, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4665 
  4666   foo_simps  ~> foo.simps
  4667   foo_unfold ~> foo.unfold
  4668   foo_induct ~> foo.induct
  4669 
  4670 * The "fixrec_simp" attribute has been removed.  The "fixrec_simp"
  4671 method and internal fixrec proofs now use the default simpset instead.
  4672 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4673 
  4674 * The "contlub" predicate has been removed.  Proof scripts should use
  4675 lemma contI2 in place of monocontlub2cont, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4676 
  4677 * The "admw" predicate has been removed, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4678 
  4679 * The constants cpair, cfst, and csnd have been removed in favor of
  4680 Pair, fst, and snd from Isabelle/HOL, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4681 
  4682 
  4683 *** ML ***
  4684 
  4685 * Antiquotations for basic formal entities:
  4686 
  4687     @{class NAME}         -- type class
  4688     @{class_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of the above
  4689 
  4690     @{type_name NAME}     -- logical type
  4691     @{type_abbrev NAME}   -- type abbreviation
  4692     @{nonterminal NAME}   -- type of concrete syntactic category
  4693     @{type_syntax NAME}   -- syntax representation of any of the above
  4694 
  4695     @{const_name NAME}    -- logical constant (INCOMPATIBILITY)
  4696     @{const_abbrev NAME}  -- abbreviated constant
  4697     @{const_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of any of the above
  4698 
  4699 * Antiquotation @{syntax_const NAME} ensures that NAME refers to a raw
  4700 syntax constant (cf. 'syntax' command).
  4701 
  4702 * Antiquotation @{make_string} inlines a function to print arbitrary
  4703 values similar to the ML toplevel.  The result is compiler dependent
  4704 and may fall back on "?" in certain situations.
  4705 
  4706 * Diagnostic commands 'ML_val' and 'ML_command' may refer to
  4707 antiquotations @{Isar.state} and @{Isar.goal}.  This replaces impure
  4708 Isar.state() and Isar.goal(), which belong to the old TTY loop and do
  4709 not work with the asynchronous Isar document model.
  4710 
  4711 * Configuration options now admit dynamic default values, depending on
  4712 the context or even global references.
  4713 
  4714 * SHA1.digest digests strings according to SHA-1 (see RFC 3174).  It
  4715 uses an efficient external library if available (for Poly/ML).
  4716 
  4717 * Renamed some important ML structures, while keeping the old names
  4718 for some time as aliases within the structure Legacy:
  4719 
  4720   OuterKeyword  ~>  Keyword
  4721   OuterLex      ~>  Token
  4722   OuterParse    ~>  Parse
  4723   OuterSyntax   ~>  Outer_Syntax
  4724   PrintMode     ~>  Print_Mode
  4725   SpecParse     ~>  Parse_Spec
  4726   ThyInfo       ~>  Thy_Info
  4727   ThyLoad       ~>  Thy_Load
  4728   ThyOutput     ~>  Thy_Output
  4729   TypeInfer     ~>  Type_Infer
  4730 
  4731 Note that "open Legacy" simplifies porting of sources, but forgetting
  4732 to remove it again will complicate porting again in the future.
  4733 
  4734 * Most operations that refer to a global context are named
  4735 accordingly, e.g. Simplifier.global_context or
  4736 ProofContext.init_global.  There are some situations where a global
  4737 context actually works, but under normal circumstances one needs to
  4738 pass the proper local context through the code!
  4739 
  4740 * Discontinued old TheoryDataFun with its copy/init operation -- data
  4741 needs to be pure.  Functor Theory_Data_PP retains the traditional
  4742 Pretty.pp argument to merge, which is absent in the standard
  4743 Theory_Data version.
  4744 
  4745 * Sorts.certify_sort and derived "cert" operations for types and terms
  4746 no longer minimize sorts.  Thus certification at the boundary of the
  4747 inference kernel becomes invariant under addition of class relations,
  4748 which is an important monotonicity principle.  Sorts are now minimized
  4749 in the syntax layer only, at the boundary between the end-user and the
  4750 system.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY, may have to use Sign.minimize_sort
  4751 explicitly in rare situations.
  4752 
  4753 * Renamed old-style Drule.standard to Drule.export_without_context, to
  4754 emphasize that this is in no way a standard operation.
  4755 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4756 
  4757 * Subgoal.FOCUS (and variants): resulting goal state is normalized as
  4758 usual for resolution.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4759 
  4760 * Renamed varify/unvarify operations to varify_global/unvarify_global
  4761 to emphasize that these only work in a global situation (which is
  4762 quite rare).
  4763 
  4764 * Curried take and drop in library.ML; negative length is interpreted
  4765 as infinity (as in chop).  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4766 
  4767 * Proof terms: type substitutions on proof constants now use canonical
  4768 order of type variables.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools working with proof
  4769 terms.
  4770 
  4771 * Raw axioms/defs may no longer carry sort constraints, and raw defs
  4772 may no longer carry premises.  User-level specifications are
  4773 transformed accordingly by Thm.add_axiom/add_def.
  4774 
  4775 
  4776 *** System ***
  4777 
  4778 * Discontinued special HOL_USEDIR_OPTIONS for the main HOL image;
  4779 ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS applies uniformly to all sessions.  Note that
  4780 proof terms are enabled unconditionally in the new HOL-Proofs image.
  4781 
  4782 * Discontinued old ISABELLE and ISATOOL environment settings (legacy
  4783 feature since Isabelle2009).  Use ISABELLE_PROCESS and ISABELLE_TOOL,
  4784 respectively.
  4785 
  4786 * Old lib/scripts/polyml-platform is superseded by the
  4787 ISABELLE_PLATFORM setting variable, which defaults to the 32 bit
  4788 variant, even on a 64 bit machine.  The following example setting
  4789 prefers 64 bit if available:
  4790 
  4791   ML_PLATFORM="${ISABELLE_PLATFORM64:-$ISABELLE_PLATFORM}"
  4792 
  4793 * The preliminary Isabelle/jEdit application demonstrates the emerging
  4794 Isabelle/Scala layer for advanced prover interaction and integration.
  4795 See src/Tools/jEdit or "isabelle jedit" provided by the properly built
  4796 component.
  4797 
  4798 * "IsabelleText" is a Unicode font derived from Bitstream Vera Mono
  4799 and Bluesky TeX fonts.  It provides the usual Isabelle symbols,
  4800 similar to the default assignment of the document preparation system
  4801 (cf. isabellesym.sty).  The Isabelle/Scala class Isabelle_System
  4802 provides some operations for direct access to the font without asking
  4803 the user for manual installation.
  4804 
  4805 
  4806 
  4807 New in Isabelle2009-1 (December 2009)
  4808 -------------------------------------
  4809 
  4810 *** General ***
  4811 
  4812 * Discontinued old form of "escaped symbols" such as \\<forall>.  Only
  4813 one backslash should be used, even in ML sources.
  4814 
  4815 
  4816 *** Pure ***
  4817 
  4818 * Locale interpretation propagates mixins along the locale hierarchy.
  4819 The currently only available mixins are the equations used to map
  4820 local definitions to terms of the target domain of an interpretation.
  4821 
  4822 * Reactivated diagnostic command 'print_interps'.  Use "print_interps
  4823 loc" to print all interpretations of locale "loc" in the theory.
  4824 Interpretations in proofs are not shown.
  4825 
  4826 * Thoroughly revised locales tutorial.  New section on conditional
  4827 interpretation.
  4828 
  4829 * On instantiation of classes, remaining undefined class parameters
  4830 are formally declared.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4831 
  4832 
  4833 *** Document preparation ***
  4834 
  4835 * New generalized style concept for printing terms: @{foo (style) ...}
  4836 instead of @{foo_style style ...}  (old form is still retained for
  4837 backward compatibility).  Styles can be also applied for
  4838 antiquotations prop, term_type and typeof.
  4839 
  4840 
  4841 *** HOL ***
  4842 
  4843 * New proof method "smt" for a combination of first-order logic with
  4844 equality, linear and nonlinear (natural/integer/real) arithmetic, and
  4845 fixed-size bitvectors; there is also basic support for higher-order
  4846 features (esp. lambda abstractions).  It is an incomplete decision
  4847 procedure based on external SMT solvers using the oracle mechanism;
  4848 for the SMT solver Z3, this method is proof-producing.  Certificates
  4849 are provided to avoid calling the external solvers solely for
  4850 re-checking proofs.  Due to a remote SMT service there is no need for
  4851 installing SMT solvers locally.  See src/HOL/SMT.
  4852 
  4853 * New commands to load and prove verification conditions generated by
  4854 the Boogie program verifier or derived systems (e.g. the Verifying C
  4855 Compiler (VCC) or Spec#).  See src/HOL/Boogie.
  4856 
  4857 * New counterexample generator tool 'nitpick' based on the Kodkod
  4858 relational model finder.  See src/HOL/Tools/Nitpick and
  4859 src/HOL/Nitpick_Examples.
  4860 
  4861 * New commands 'code_pred' and 'values' to invoke the predicate
  4862 compiler and to enumerate values of inductive predicates.
  4863 
  4864 * A tabled implementation of the reflexive transitive closure.
  4865 
  4866 * New implementation of quickcheck uses generic code generator;
  4867 default generators are provided for all suitable HOL types, records
  4868 and datatypes.  Old quickcheck can be re-activated importing theory
  4869 Library/SML_Quickcheck.
  4870 
  4871 * New testing tool Mirabelle for automated proof tools.  Applies
  4872 several tools and tactics like sledgehammer, metis, or quickcheck, to
  4873 every proof step in a theory.  To be used in batch mode via the
  4874 "mirabelle" utility.
  4875 
  4876 * New proof method "sos" (sum of squares) for nonlinear real
  4877 arithmetic (originally due to John Harison). It requires theory
  4878 Library/Sum_Of_Squares.  It is not a complete decision procedure but
  4879 works well in practice on quantifier-free real arithmetic with +, -,
  4880 *, ^, =, <= and <, i.e. boolean combinations of equalities and
  4881 inequalities between polynomials.  It makes use of external
  4882 semidefinite programming solvers.  Method "sos" generates a
  4883 certificate that can be pasted into the proof thus avoiding the need
  4884 to call an external tool every time the proof is checked.  See
  4885 src/HOL/Library/Sum_Of_Squares.
  4886 
  4887 * New method "linarith" invokes existing linear arithmetic decision
  4888 procedure only.
  4889 
  4890 * New command 'atp_minimal' reduces result produced by Sledgehammer.
  4891 
  4892 * New Sledgehammer option "Full Types" in Proof General settings menu.
  4893 Causes full type information to be output to the ATPs.  This slows
  4894 ATPs down considerably but eliminates a source of unsound "proofs"
  4895 that fail later.
  4896 
  4897 * New method "metisFT": A version of metis that uses full type
  4898 information in order to avoid failures of proof reconstruction.
  4899 
  4900 * New evaluator "approximate" approximates an real valued term using
  4901 the same method as the approximation method.
  4902 
  4903 * Method "approximate" now supports arithmetic expressions as
  4904 boundaries of intervals and implements interval splitting and Taylor
  4905 series expansion.
  4906 
  4907 * ML antiquotation @{code_datatype} inserts definition of a datatype
  4908 generated by the code generator; e.g. see src/HOL/Predicate.thy.
  4909 
  4910 * New theory SupInf of the supremum and infimum operators for sets of
  4911 reals.
  4912 
  4913 * New theory Probability, which contains a development of measure
  4914 theory, eventually leading to Lebesgue integration and probability.
  4915 
  4916 * Extended Multivariate Analysis to include derivation and Brouwer's
  4917 fixpoint theorem.
  4918 
  4919 * Reorganization of number theory, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4920   - new number theory development for nat and int, in theories Divides
  4921     and GCD as well as in new session Number_Theory
  4922   - some constants and facts now suffixed with _nat and _int
  4923     accordingly
  4924   - former session NumberTheory now named Old_Number_Theory, including
  4925     theories Legacy_GCD and Primes (prefer Number_Theory if possible)
  4926   - moved theory Pocklington from src/HOL/Library to
  4927     src/HOL/Old_Number_Theory
  4928 
  4929 * Theory GCD includes functions Gcd/GCD and Lcm/LCM for the gcd and
  4930 lcm of finite and infinite sets. It is shown that they form a complete
  4931 lattice.
  4932 
  4933 * Class semiring_div requires superclass no_zero_divisors and proof of
  4934 div_mult_mult1; theorems div_mult_mult1, div_mult_mult2,
  4935 div_mult_mult1_if, div_mult_mult1 and div_mult_mult2 have been
  4936 generalized to class semiring_div, subsuming former theorems
  4937 zdiv_zmult_zmult1, zdiv_zmult_zmult1_if, zdiv_zmult_zmult1 and
  4938 zdiv_zmult_zmult2.  div_mult_mult1 is now [simp] by default.
  4939 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4940 
  4941 * Refinements to lattice classes and sets:
  4942   - less default intro/elim rules in locale variant, more default
  4943     intro/elim rules in class variant: more uniformity
  4944   - lemma ge_sup_conv renamed to le_sup_iff, in accordance with
  4945     le_inf_iff
  4946   - dropped lemma alias inf_ACI for inf_aci (same for sup_ACI and
  4947     sup_aci)
  4948   - renamed ACI to inf_sup_aci
  4949   - new class "boolean_algebra"
  4950   - class "complete_lattice" moved to separate theory
  4951     "Complete_Lattice"; corresponding constants (and abbreviations)
  4952     renamed and with authentic syntax:
  4953     Set.Inf ~>    Complete_Lattice.Inf
  4954     Set.Sup ~>    Complete_Lattice.Sup
  4955     Set.INFI ~>   Complete_Lattice.INFI
  4956     Set.SUPR ~>   Complete_Lattice.SUPR
  4957     Set.Inter ~>  Complete_Lattice.Inter
  4958     Set.Union ~>  Complete_Lattice.Union
  4959     Set.INTER ~>  Complete_Lattice.INTER
  4960     Set.UNION ~>  Complete_Lattice.UNION
  4961   - authentic syntax for
  4962     Set.Pow
  4963     Set.image
  4964   - mere abbreviations:
  4965     Set.empty               (for bot)
  4966     Set.UNIV                (for top)
  4967     Set.inter               (for inf, formerly Set.Int)
  4968     Set.union               (for sup, formerly Set.Un)
  4969     Complete_Lattice.Inter  (for Inf)
  4970     Complete_Lattice.Union  (for Sup)
  4971     Complete_Lattice.INTER  (for INFI)
  4972     Complete_Lattice.UNION  (for SUPR)
  4973   - object-logic definitions as far as appropriate
  4974 
  4975 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Care is required when theorems Int_subset_iff or
  4976 Un_subset_iff are explicitly deleted as default simp rules; then also
  4977 their lattice counterparts le_inf_iff and le_sup_iff have to be
  4978 deleted to achieve the desired effect.
  4979 
  4980 * Rules inf_absorb1, inf_absorb2, sup_absorb1, sup_absorb2 are no simp
  4981 rules by default any longer; the same applies to min_max.inf_absorb1
  4982 etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4983 
  4984 * Rules sup_Int_eq and sup_Un_eq are no longer declared as
  4985 pred_set_conv by default.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4986 
  4987 * Power operations on relations and functions are now one dedicated
  4988 constant "compow" with infix syntax "^^".  Power operation on
  4989 multiplicative monoids retains syntax "^" and is now defined generic
  4990 in class power.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4991 
  4992 * Relation composition "R O S" now has a more standard argument order:
  4993 "R O S = {(x, z). EX y. (x, y) : R & (y, z) : S}".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4994 rewrite propositions with "S O R" --> "R O S". Proofs may occasionally
  4995 break, since the O_assoc rule was not rewritten like this.  Fix using
  4996 O_assoc[symmetric].  The same applies to the curried version "R OO S".
  4997 
  4998 * Function "Inv" is renamed to "inv_into" and function "inv" is now an
  4999 abbreviation for "inv_into UNIV".  Lemmas are renamed accordingly.
  5000 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5001 
  5002 * Most rules produced by inductive and datatype package have mandatory
  5003 prefixes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5004 
  5005 * Changed "DERIV_intros" to a dynamic fact, which can be augmented by
  5006 the attribute of the same name.  Each of the theorems in the list
  5007 DERIV_intros assumes composition with an additional function and
  5008 matches a variable to the derivative, which has to be solved by the
  5009 Simplifier.  Hence (auto intro!: DERIV_intros) computes the derivative
  5010 of most elementary terms.  Former Maclauren.DERIV_tac and
  5011 Maclauren.deriv_tac should be replaced by (auto intro!: DERIV_intros).
  5012 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5013 
  5014 * Code generator attributes follow the usual underscore convention:
  5015     code_unfold     replaces    code unfold
  5016     code_post       replaces    code post
  5017     etc.
  5018   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5019 
  5020 * Renamed methods:
  5021     sizechange -> size_change
  5022     induct_scheme -> induction_schema
  5023   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5024 
  5025 * Discontinued abbreviation "arbitrary" of constant "undefined".
  5026 INCOMPATIBILITY, use "undefined" directly.
  5027 
  5028 * Renamed theorems:
  5029     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  5030     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1_left -> Suc_eq_plus1_left
  5031     Suc_plus1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  5032     *anti_sym -> *antisym*
  5033     vector_less_eq_def -> vector_le_def
  5034   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5035 
  5036 * Added theorem List.map_map as [simp].  Removed List.map_compose.
  5037 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5038 
  5039 * Removed predicate "M hassize n" (<--> card M = n & finite M).
  5040 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5041 
  5042 
  5043 *** HOLCF ***
  5044 
  5045 * Theory Representable defines a class "rep" of domains that are
  5046 representable (via an ep-pair) in the universal domain type "udom".
  5047 Instances are provided for all type constructors defined in HOLCF.
  5048 
  5049 * The 'new_domain' command is a purely definitional version of the
  5050 domain package, for representable domains.  Syntax is identical to the
  5051 old domain package.  The 'new_domain' package also supports indirect
  5052 recursion using previously-defined type constructors.  See
  5053 src/HOLCF/ex/New_Domain.thy for examples.
  5054 
  5055 * Method "fixrec_simp" unfolds one step of a fixrec-defined constant
  5056 on the left-hand side of an equation, and then performs
  5057 simplification.  Rewriting is done using rules declared with the
  5058 "fixrec_simp" attribute.  The "fixrec_simp" method is intended as a
  5059 replacement for "fixpat"; see src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples.
  5060 
  5061 * The pattern-match compiler in 'fixrec' can now handle constructors
  5062 with HOL function types.  Pattern-match combinators for the Pair
  5063 constructor are pre-configured.
  5064 
  5065 * The 'fixrec' package now produces better fixed-point induction rules
  5066 for mutually-recursive definitions:  Induction rules have conclusions
  5067 of the form "P foo bar" instead of "P <foo, bar>".
  5068 
  5069 * The constant "sq_le" (with infix syntax "<<" or "\<sqsubseteq>") has
  5070 been renamed to "below".  The name "below" now replaces "less" in many
  5071 theorem names.  (Legacy theorem names using "less" are still supported
  5072 as well.)
  5073 
  5074 * The 'fixrec' package now supports "bottom patterns".  Bottom
  5075 patterns can be used to generate strictness rules, or to make
  5076 functions more strict (much like the bang-patterns supported by the
  5077 Glasgow Haskell Compiler).  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  5078 examples.
  5079 
  5080 
  5081 *** ML ***
  5082 
  5083 * Support for Poly/ML 5.3.0, with improved reporting of compiler
  5084 errors and run-time exceptions, including detailed source positions.
  5085 
  5086 * Structure Name_Space (formerly NameSpace) now manages uniquely
  5087 identified entries, with some additional information such as source
  5088 position, logical grouping etc.
  5089 
  5090 * Theory and context data is now introduced by the simplified and
  5091 modernized functors Theory_Data, Proof_Data, Generic_Data.  Data needs
  5092 to be pure, but the old TheoryDataFun for mutable data (with explicit
  5093 copy operation) is still available for some time.
  5094 
  5095 * Structure Synchronized (cf. src/Pure/Concurrent/synchronized.ML)
  5096 provides a high-level programming interface to synchronized state
  5097 variables with atomic update.  This works via pure function
  5098 application within a critical section -- its runtime should be as
  5099 short as possible; beware of deadlocks if critical code is nested,
  5100 either directly or indirectly via other synchronized variables!
  5101 
  5102 * Structure Unsynchronized (cf. src/Pure/ML-Systems/unsynchronized.ML)
  5103 wraps raw ML references, explicitly indicating their non-thread-safe
  5104 behaviour.  The Isar toplevel keeps this structure open, to
  5105 accommodate Proof General as well as quick and dirty interactive
  5106 experiments with references.
  5107 
  5108 * PARALLEL_CHOICE and PARALLEL_GOALS provide basic support for
  5109 parallel tactical reasoning.
  5110 
  5111 * Tacticals Subgoal.FOCUS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PREMS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PARAMS
  5112 are similar to SUBPROOF, but are slightly more flexible: only the
  5113 specified parts of the subgoal are imported into the context, and the
  5114 body tactic may introduce new subgoals and schematic variables.
  5115 
  5116 * Old tactical METAHYPS, which does not observe the proof context, has
  5117 been renamed to Old_Goals.METAHYPS and awaits deletion.  Use SUBPROOF
  5118 or Subgoal.FOCUS etc.
  5119 
  5120 * Renamed functor TableFun to Table, and GraphFun to Graph.  (Since
  5121 functors have their own ML name space there is no point to mark them
  5122 separately.)  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5123 
  5124 * Renamed NamedThmsFun to Named_Thms.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5125 
  5126 * Renamed several structures FooBar to Foo_Bar.  Occasional,
  5127 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5128 
  5129 * Operations of structure Skip_Proof no longer require quick_and_dirty
  5130 mode, which avoids critical setmp.
  5131 
  5132 * Eliminated old Attrib.add_attributes, Method.add_methods and related
  5133 combinators for "args".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use simplified
  5134 Attrib/Method.setup introduced in Isabelle2009.
  5135 
  5136 * Proper context for simpset_of, claset_of, clasimpset_of.  May fall
  5137 back on global_simpset_of, global_claset_of, global_clasimpset_of as
  5138 last resort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5139 
  5140 * Display.pretty_thm now requires a proper context (cf. former
  5141 ProofContext.pretty_thm).  May fall back on Display.pretty_thm_global
  5142 or even Display.pretty_thm_without_context as last resort.
  5143 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5144 
  5145 * Discontinued Display.pretty_ctyp/cterm etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5146 Syntax.pretty_typ/term directly, preferably with proper context
  5147 instead of global theory.
  5148 
  5149 
  5150 *** System ***
  5151 
  5152 * Further fine tuning of parallel proof checking, scales up to 8 cores
  5153 (max. speedup factor 5.0).  See also Goal.parallel_proofs in ML and
  5154 usedir option -q.
  5155 
  5156 * Support for additional "Isabelle components" via etc/components, see
  5157 also the system manual.
  5158 
  5159 * The isabelle makeall tool now operates on all components with
  5160 IsaMakefile, not just hardwired "logics".
  5161 
  5162 * Removed "compress" option from isabelle-process and isabelle usedir;
  5163 this is always enabled.
  5164 
  5165 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 4.x versions.
  5166 
  5167 * Isabelle tool "wwwfind" provides web interface for 'find_theorems'
  5168 on a given logic image.  This requires the lighttpd webserver and is
  5169 currently supported on Linux only.
  5170 
  5171 
  5172 
  5173 New in Isabelle2009 (April 2009)
  5174 --------------------------------
  5175 
  5176 *** General ***
  5177 
  5178 * Simplified main Isabelle executables, with less surprises on
  5179 case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  5180 
  5181   - The main Isabelle tool wrapper is now called "isabelle" instead of
  5182     "isatool."
  5183 
  5184   - The former "isabelle" alias for "isabelle-process" has been
  5185     removed (should rarely occur to regular users).
  5186 
  5187   - The former "isabelle-interface" and its alias "Isabelle" have been
  5188     removed (interfaces are now regular Isabelle tools).
  5189 
  5190 Within scripts and make files, the Isabelle environment variables
  5191 ISABELLE_TOOL and ISABELLE_PROCESS replace old ISATOOL and ISABELLE,
  5192 respectively.  (The latter are still available as legacy feature.)
  5193 
  5194 The old isabelle-interface wrapper could react in confusing ways if
  5195 the interface was uninstalled or changed otherwise.  Individual
  5196 interface tool configuration is now more explicit, see also the
  5197 Isabelle system manual.  In particular, Proof General is now available
  5198 via "isabelle emacs".
  5199 
  5200 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt derivative scripts.  Users may need to
  5201 purge installed copies of Isabelle executables and re-run "isabelle
  5202 install -p ...", or use symlinks.
  5203 
  5204 * The default for ISABELLE_HOME_USER is now ~/.isabelle instead of the
  5205 old ~/isabelle, which was slightly non-standard and apt to cause
  5206 surprises on case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  5207 
  5208 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to move existing ~/isabelle/etc,
  5209 ~/isabelle/heaps, ~/isabelle/browser_info to the new place.  Special
  5210 care is required when using older releases of Isabelle.  Note that
  5211 ISABELLE_HOME_USER can be changed in Isabelle/etc/settings of any
  5212 Isabelle distribution, in order to use the new ~/.isabelle uniformly.
  5213 
  5214 * Proofs of fully specified statements are run in parallel on
  5215 multi-core systems.  A speedup factor of 2.5 to 3.2 can be expected on
  5216 a regular 4-core machine, if the initial heap space is made reasonably
  5217 large (cf. Poly/ML option -H).  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  5218 
  5219 * The main reference manuals ("isar-ref", "implementation", and
  5220 "system") have been updated and extended.  Formally checked references
  5221 as hyperlinks are now available uniformly.
  5222 
  5223 
  5224 *** Pure ***
  5225 
  5226 * Complete re-implementation of locales.  INCOMPATIBILITY in several
  5227 respects.  The most important changes are listed below.  See the
  5228 Tutorial on Locales ("locales" manual) for details.
  5229 
  5230 - In locale expressions, instantiation replaces renaming.  Parameters
  5231 must be declared in a for clause.  To aid compatibility with previous
  5232 parameter inheritance, in locale declarations, parameters that are not
  5233 'touched' (instantiation position "_" or omitted) are implicitly added
  5234 with their syntax at the beginning of the for clause.
  5235 
  5236 - Syntax from abbreviations and definitions in locales is available in
  5237 locale expressions and context elements.  The latter is particularly
  5238 useful in locale declarations.
  5239 
  5240 - More flexible mechanisms to qualify names generated by locale
  5241 expressions.  Qualifiers (prefixes) may be specified in locale
  5242 expressions, and can be marked as mandatory (syntax: "name!:") or
  5243 optional (syntax "name?:").  The default depends for plain "name:"
  5244 depends on the situation where a locale expression is used: in
  5245 commands 'locale' and 'sublocale' prefixes are optional, in
  5246 'interpretation' and 'interpret' prefixes are mandatory.  The old
  5247 implicit qualifiers derived from the parameter names of a locale are
  5248 no longer generated.
  5249 
  5250 - Command "sublocale l < e" replaces "interpretation l < e".  The
  5251 instantiation clause in "interpretation" and "interpret" (square
  5252 brackets) is no longer available.  Use locale expressions.
  5253 
  5254 - When converting proof scripts, mandatory qualifiers in
  5255 'interpretation' and 'interpret' should be retained by default, even
  5256 if this is an INCOMPATIBILITY compared to former behavior.  In the
  5257 worst case, use the "name?:" form for non-mandatory ones.  Qualifiers
  5258 in locale expressions range over a single locale instance only.
  5259 
  5260 - Dropped locale element "includes".  This is a major INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5261 In existing theorem specifications replace the includes element by the
  5262 respective context elements of the included locale, omitting those
  5263 that are already present in the theorem specification.  Multiple
  5264 assume elements of a locale should be replaced by a single one
  5265 involving the locale predicate.  In the proof body, declarations (most
  5266 notably theorems) may be regained by interpreting the respective
  5267 locales in the proof context as required (command "interpret").
  5268 
  5269 If using "includes" in replacement of a target solely because the
  5270 parameter types in the theorem are not as general as in the target,
  5271 consider declaring a new locale with additional type constraints on
  5272 the parameters (context element "constrains").
  5273 
  5274 - Discontinued "locale (open)".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5275 
  5276 - Locale interpretation commands no longer attempt to simplify goal.
  5277 INCOMPATIBILITY: in rare situations the generated goal differs.  Use
  5278 methods intro_locales and unfold_locales to clarify.
  5279 
  5280 - Locale interpretation commands no longer accept interpretation
  5281 attributes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5282 
  5283 * Class declaration: so-called "base sort" must not be given in import
  5284 list any longer, but is inferred from the specification.  Particularly
  5285 in HOL, write
  5286 
  5287     class foo = ...
  5288 
  5289 instead of
  5290 
  5291     class foo = type + ...
  5292 
  5293 * Class target: global versions of theorems stemming do not carry a
  5294 parameter prefix any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5295 
  5296 * Class 'instance' command no longer accepts attached definitions.
  5297 INCOMPATIBILITY, use proper 'instantiation' target instead.
  5298 
  5299 * Recovered hiding of consts, which was accidentally broken in
  5300 Isabelle2007.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, ``hide const c'' really
  5301 makes c inaccessible; consider using ``hide (open) const c'' instead.
  5302 
  5303 * Slightly more coherent Pure syntax, with updated documentation in
  5304 isar-ref manual.  Removed locales meta_term_syntax and
  5305 meta_conjunction_syntax: TERM and &&& (formerly &&) are now permanent,
  5306 INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations.  Note that &&& should not be used
  5307 directly in regular applications.
  5308 
  5309 * There is a new syntactic category "float_const" for signed decimal
  5310 fractions (e.g. 123.45 or -123.45).
  5311 
  5312 * Removed exotic 'token_translation' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML
  5313 interface with 'setup' command instead.
  5314 
  5315 * Command 'local_setup' is similar to 'setup', but operates on a local
  5316 theory context.
  5317 
  5318 * The 'axiomatization' command now only works within a global theory
  5319 context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5320 
  5321 * Goal-directed proof now enforces strict proof irrelevance wrt. sort
  5322 hypotheses.  Sorts required in the course of reasoning need to be
  5323 covered by the constraints in the initial statement, completed by the
  5324 type instance information of the background theory.  Non-trivial sort
  5325 hypotheses, which rarely occur in practice, may be specified via
  5326 vacuous propositions of the form SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::c).  For example:
  5327 
  5328   lemma assumes "SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::empty)" shows False ...
  5329 
  5330 The result contains an implicit sort hypotheses as before --
  5331 SORT_CONSTRAINT premises are eliminated as part of the canonical rule
  5332 normalization.
  5333 
  5334 * Generalized Isar history, with support for linear undo, direct state
  5335 addressing etc.
  5336 
  5337 * Changed defaults for unify configuration options:
  5338 
  5339   unify_trace_bound = 50 (formerly 25)
  5340   unify_search_bound = 60 (formerly 30)
  5341 
  5342 * Different bookkeeping for code equations (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  5343 
  5344   a) On theory merge, the last set of code equations for a particular
  5345      constant is taken (in accordance with the policy applied by other
  5346      parts of the code generator framework).
  5347 
  5348   b) Code equations stemming from explicit declarations (e.g. code
  5349      attribute) gain priority over default code equations stemming
  5350      from definition, primrec, fun etc.
  5351 
  5352 * Keyword 'code_exception' now named 'code_abort'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5353 
  5354 * Unified theorem tables for both code generators.  Thus [code
  5355 func] has disappeared and only [code] remains.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5356 
  5357 * Command 'find_consts' searches for constants based on type and name
  5358 patterns, e.g.
  5359 
  5360     find_consts "_ => bool"
  5361 
  5362 By default, matching is against subtypes, but it may be restricted to
  5363 the whole type.  Searching by name is possible.  Multiple queries are
  5364 conjunctive and queries may be negated by prefixing them with a
  5365 hyphen:
  5366 
  5367     find_consts strict: "_ => bool" name: "Int" -"int => int"
  5368 
  5369 * New 'find_theorems' criterion "solves" matches theorems that
  5370 directly solve the current goal (modulo higher-order unification).
  5371 
  5372 * Auto solve feature for main theorem statements: whenever a new goal
  5373 is stated, "find_theorems solves" is called; any theorems that could
  5374 solve the lemma directly are listed as part of the goal state.
  5375 Cf. associated options in Proof General Isabelle settings menu,
  5376 enabled by default, with reasonable timeout for pathological cases of
  5377 higher-order unification.
  5378 
  5379 
  5380 *** Document preparation ***
  5381 
  5382 * Antiquotation @{lemma} now imitates a regular terminal proof,
  5383 demanding keyword 'by' and supporting the full method expression
  5384 syntax just like the Isar command 'by'.
  5385 
  5386 
  5387 *** HOL ***
  5388 
  5389 * Integrated main parts of former image HOL-Complex with HOL.  Entry
  5390 points Main and Complex_Main remain as before.
  5391 
  5392 * Logic image HOL-Plain provides a minimal HOL with the most important
  5393 tools available (inductive, datatype, primrec, ...).  This facilitates
  5394 experimentation and tool development.  Note that user applications
  5395 (and library theories) should never refer to anything below theory
  5396 Main, as before.
  5397 
  5398 * Logic image HOL-Main stops at theory Main, and thus facilitates
  5399 experimentation due to shorter build times.
  5400 
  5401 * Logic image HOL-NSA contains theories of nonstandard analysis which
  5402 were previously part of former HOL-Complex.  Entry point Hyperreal
  5403 remains valid, but theories formerly using Complex_Main should now use
  5404 new entry point Hypercomplex.
  5405 
  5406 * Generic ATP manager for Sledgehammer, based on ML threads instead of
  5407 Posix processes.  Avoids potentially expensive forking of the ML
  5408 process.  New thread-based implementation also works on non-Unix
  5409 platforms (Cygwin).  Provers are no longer hardwired, but defined
  5410 within the theory via plain ML wrapper functions.  Basic Sledgehammer
  5411 commands are covered in the isar-ref manual.
  5412 
  5413 * Wrapper scripts for remote SystemOnTPTP service allows to use
  5414 sledgehammer without local ATP installation (Vampire etc.). Other
  5415 provers may be included via suitable ML wrappers, see also
  5416 src/HOL/ATP_Linkup.thy.
  5417 
  5418 * ATP selection (E/Vampire/Spass) is now via Proof General's settings
  5419 menu.
  5420 
  5421 * The metis method no longer fails because the theorem is too trivial
  5422 (contains the empty clause).
  5423 
  5424 * The metis method now fails in the usual manner, rather than raising
  5425 an exception, if it determines that it cannot prove the theorem.
  5426 
  5427 * Method "coherent" implements a prover for coherent logic (see also
  5428 src/Tools/coherent.ML).
  5429 
  5430 * Constants "undefined" and "default" replace "arbitrary".  Usually
  5431 "undefined" is the right choice to replace "arbitrary", though
  5432 logically there is no difference.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5433 
  5434 * Command "value" now integrates different evaluation mechanisms.  The
  5435 result of the first successful evaluation mechanism is printed.  In
  5436 square brackets a particular named evaluation mechanisms may be
  5437 specified (currently, [SML], [code] or [nbe]).  See further
  5438 src/HOL/ex/Eval_Examples.thy.
  5439 
  5440 * Normalization by evaluation now allows non-leftlinear equations.
  5441 Declare with attribute [code nbe].
  5442 
  5443 * Methods "case_tac" and "induct_tac" now refer to the very same rules
  5444 as the structured Isar versions "cases" and "induct", cf. the
  5445 corresponding "cases" and "induct" attributes.  Mutual induction rules
  5446 are now presented as a list of individual projections
  5447 (e.g. foo_bar.inducts for types foo and bar); the old format with
  5448 explicit HOL conjunction is no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  5449 rare situations a different rule is selected --- notably nested tuple
  5450 elimination instead of former prod.exhaust: use explicit (case_tac t
  5451 rule: prod.exhaust) here.
  5452 
  5453 * Attributes "cases", "induct", "coinduct" support "del" option.
  5454 
  5455 * Removed fact "case_split_thm", which duplicates "case_split".
  5456 
  5457 * The option datatype has been moved to a new theory Option.  Renamed
  5458 option_map to Option.map, and o2s to Option.set, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5459 
  5460 * New predicate "strict_mono" classifies strict functions on partial
  5461 orders.  With strict functions on linear orders, reasoning about
  5462 (in)equalities is facilitated by theorems "strict_mono_eq",
  5463 "strict_mono_less_eq" and "strict_mono_less".
  5464 
  5465 * Some set operations are now proper qualified constants with
  5466 authentic syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5467 
  5468     op Int ~>   Set.Int
  5469     op Un ~>    Set.Un
  5470     INTER ~>    Set.INTER
  5471     UNION ~>    Set.UNION
  5472     Inter ~>    Set.Inter
  5473     Union ~>    Set.Union
  5474     {} ~>       Set.empty
  5475     UNIV ~>     Set.UNIV
  5476 
  5477 * Class complete_lattice with operations Inf, Sup, INFI, SUPR now in
  5478 theory Set.
  5479 
  5480 * Auxiliary class "itself" has disappeared -- classes without any
  5481 parameter are treated as expected by the 'class' command.
  5482 
  5483 * Leibnitz's Series for Pi and the arcus tangens and logarithm series.
  5484 
  5485 * Common decision procedures (Cooper, MIR, Ferrack, Approximation,
  5486 Dense_Linear_Order) are now in directory HOL/Decision_Procs.
  5487 
  5488 * Theory src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation provides the new proof
  5489 method "approximation".  It proves formulas on real values by using
  5490 interval arithmetic.  In the formulas are also the transcendental
  5491 functions sin, cos, tan, atan, ln, exp and the constant pi are
  5492 allowed. For examples see
  5493 src/HOL/Descision_Procs/ex/Approximation_Ex.thy.
  5494 
  5495 * Theory "Reflection" now resides in HOL/Library.
  5496 
  5497 * Entry point to Word library now simply named "Word".
  5498 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5499 
  5500 * Made source layout more coherent with logical distribution
  5501 structure:

  5554 
  5555 * If methods "eval" and "evaluation" encounter a structured proof
  5556 state with !!/==>, only the conclusion is evaluated to True (if
  5557 possible), avoiding strange error messages.
  5558 
  5559 * Method "sizechange" automates termination proofs using (a
  5560 modification of) the size-change principle.  Requires SAT solver.  See
  5561 src/HOL/ex/Termination.thy for examples.
  5562 
  5563 * Simplifier: simproc for let expressions now unfolds if bound
  5564 variable occurs at most once in let expression body.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5565 
  5566 * Method "arith": Linear arithmetic now ignores all inequalities when
  5567 fast_arith_neq_limit is exceeded, instead of giving up entirely.
  5568 
  5569 * New attribute "arith" for facts that should always be used
  5570 automatically by arithmetic. It is intended to be used locally in
  5571 proofs, e.g.
  5572 
  5573   assumes [arith]: "x > 0"
  5574 
  5575 Global usage is discouraged because of possible performance impact.
  5576 
  5577 * New classes "top" and "bot" with corresponding operations "top" and
  5578 "bot" in theory Orderings; instantiation of class "complete_lattice"
  5579 requires instantiation of classes "top" and "bot".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5580 
  5581 * Changed definition lemma "less_fun_def" in order to provide an
  5582 instance for preorders on functions; use lemma "less_le" instead.
  5583 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5584 
  5585 * Theory Orderings: class "wellorder" moved here, with explicit
  5586 induction rule "less_induct" as assumption.  For instantiation of
  5587 "wellorder" by means of predicate "wf", use rule wf_wellorderI.
  5588 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5589 
  5590 * Theory Orderings: added class "preorder" as superclass of "order".
  5591 INCOMPATIBILITY: Instantiation proofs for order, linorder
  5592 etc. slightly changed.  Some theorems named order_class.* now named
  5593 preorder_class.*.
  5594 
  5595 * Theory Relation: renamed "refl" to "refl_on", "reflexive" to "refl,
  5596 "diag" to "Id_on".
  5597 
  5598 * Theory Finite_Set: added a new fold combinator of type
  5599 
  5600   ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  5601 
  5602 Occasionally this is more convenient than the old fold combinator
  5603 which is now defined in terms of the new one and renamed to
  5604 fold_image.
  5605 
  5606 * Theories Ring_and_Field and OrderedGroup: The lemmas "group_simps"
  5607 and "ring_simps" have been replaced by "algebra_simps" (which can be
  5608 extended with further lemmas!).  At the moment both still exist but
  5609 the former will disappear at some point.
  5610 
  5611 * Theory Power: Lemma power_Suc is now declared as a simp rule in
  5612 class recpower.  Type-specific simp rules for various recpower types
  5613 have been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, rename old lemmas as follows:
  5614 
  5615 rat_power_0    -> power_0
  5616 rat_power_Suc  -> power_Suc
  5617 realpow_0      -> power_0
  5618 realpow_Suc    -> power_Suc
  5619 complexpow_0   -> power_0
  5620 complexpow_Suc -> power_Suc
  5621 power_poly_0   -> power_0
  5622 power_poly_Suc -> power_Suc
  5623 
  5624 * Theories Ring_and_Field and Divides: Definition of "op dvd" has been
  5625 moved to separate class dvd in Ring_and_Field; a couple of lemmas on
  5626 dvd has been generalized to class comm_semiring_1.  Likewise a bunch
  5627 of lemmas from Divides has been generalized from nat to class
  5628 semiring_div.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  This involves the following theorem
  5629 renames resulting from duplicate elimination:
  5630 
  5631     dvd_def_mod ~>          dvd_eq_mod_eq_0
  5632     zero_dvd_iff ~>         dvd_0_left_iff
  5633     dvd_0 ~>                dvd_0_right
  5634     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_DIV ~> div_by_0
  5635     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_MOD ~> mod_by_0
  5636     mult_div ~>             div_mult_self2_is_id
  5637     mult_mod ~>             mod_mult_self2_is_0
  5638 
  5639 * Theory IntDiv: removed many lemmas that are instances of class-based
  5640 generalizations (from Divides and Ring_and_Field).  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  5641 rename old lemmas as follows:
  5642 
  5643 dvd_diff               -> nat_dvd_diff
  5644 dvd_zminus_iff         -> dvd_minus_iff

  5648 mod_mult_distrib_mod   -> mod_mult_eq
  5649 nat_mod_add_left_eq    -> mod_add_left_eq
  5650 nat_mod_add_right_eq   -> mod_add_right_eq
  5651 nat_mod_div_trivial    -> mod_div_trivial
  5652 nat_mod_mod_trivial    -> mod_mod_trivial
  5653 zdiv_zadd_self1        -> div_add_self1
  5654 zdiv_zadd_self2        -> div_add_self2
  5655 zdiv_zmult_self1       -> div_mult_self2_is_id
  5656 zdiv_zmult_self2       -> div_mult_self1_is_id
  5657 zdvd_triv_left         -> dvd_triv_left
  5658 zdvd_triv_right        -> dvd_triv_right
  5659 zdvd_zmult_cancel_disj -> dvd_mult_cancel_left
  5660 zmod_eq0_zdvd_iff      -> dvd_eq_mod_eq_0[symmetric]
  5661 zmod_zadd_left_eq      -> mod_add_left_eq
  5662 zmod_zadd_right_eq     -> mod_add_right_eq
  5663 zmod_zadd_self1        -> mod_add_self1
  5664 zmod_zadd_self2        -> mod_add_self2
  5665 zmod_zadd1_eq          -> mod_add_eq
  5666 zmod_zdiff1_eq         -> mod_diff_eq
  5667 zmod_zdvd_zmod         -> mod_mod_cancel
  5668 zmod_zmod_cancel       -> mod_mod_cancel
  5669 zmod_zmult_self1       -> mod_mult_self2_is_0
  5670 zmod_zmult_self2       -> mod_mult_self1_is_0
  5671 zmod_1                 -> mod_by_1
  5672 zdiv_1                 -> div_by_1
  5673 zdvd_abs1              -> abs_dvd_iff
  5674 zdvd_abs2              -> dvd_abs_iff
  5675 zdvd_refl              -> dvd_refl
  5676 zdvd_trans             -> dvd_trans
  5677 zdvd_zadd              -> dvd_add
  5678 zdvd_zdiff             -> dvd_diff
  5679 zdvd_zminus_iff        -> dvd_minus_iff
  5680 zdvd_zminus2_iff       -> minus_dvd_iff
  5681 zdvd_zmultD            -> dvd_mult_right
  5682 zdvd_zmultD2           -> dvd_mult_left
  5683 zdvd_zmult_mono        -> mult_dvd_mono
  5684 zdvd_0_right           -> dvd_0_right
  5685 zdvd_0_left            -> dvd_0_left_iff
  5686 zdvd_1_left            -> one_dvd
  5687 zminus_dvd_iff         -> minus_dvd_iff
  5688 
  5689 * Theory Rational: 'Fract k 0' now equals '0'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5690 
  5691 * The real numbers offer decimal input syntax: 12.34 is translated
  5692 into 1234/10^2. This translation is not reversed upon output.
  5693 
  5694 * Theory Library/Polynomial defines an abstract type 'a poly of
  5695 univariate polynomials with coefficients of type 'a.  In addition to
  5696 the standard ring operations, it also supports div and mod.  Code
  5697 generation is also supported, using list-style constructors.
  5698 
  5699 * Theory Library/Inner_Product defines a class of real_inner for real
  5700 inner product spaces, with an overloaded operation inner :: 'a => 'a
  5701 => real.  Class real_inner is a subclass of real_normed_vector from
  5702 theory RealVector.
  5703 
  5704 * Theory Library/Product_Vector provides instances for the product
  5705 type 'a * 'b of several classes from RealVector and Inner_Product.
  5706 Definitions of addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, norms,
  5707 and inner products are included.
  5708 
  5709 * Theory Library/Bit defines the field "bit" of integers modulo 2.  In
  5710 addition to the field operations, numerals and case syntax are also
  5711 supported.
  5712 
  5713 * Theory Library/Diagonalize provides constructive version of Cantor's
  5714 first diagonalization argument.
  5715 
  5716 * Theory Library/GCD: Curried operations gcd, lcm (for nat) and zgcd,
  5717 zlcm (for int); carried together from various gcd/lcm developements in
  5718 the HOL Distribution.  Constants zgcd and zlcm replace former igcd and
  5719 ilcm; corresponding theorems renamed accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  5720 may recover tupled syntax as follows:
  5721 
  5722     hide (open) const gcd
  5723     abbreviation gcd where
  5724       "gcd == (%(a, b). GCD.gcd a b)"
  5725     notation (output)
  5726       GCD.gcd ("gcd '(_, _')")
  5727 
  5728 The same works for lcm, zgcd, zlcm.
  5729 
  5730 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity: added addition, numeral syntax and more
  5731 instantiations for algebraic structures.  Removed some duplicate
  5732 theorems.  Changes in simp rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5733 
  5734 * ML antiquotation @{code} takes a constant as argument and generates
  5735 corresponding code in background and inserts name of the corresponding
  5736 resulting ML value/function/datatype constructor binding in place.
  5737 All occurrences of @{code} with a single ML block are generated
  5738 simultaneously.  Provides a generic and safe interface for
  5739 instrumentalizing code generation.  See
  5740 src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Ferrack.thy for a more ambitious application.
  5741 In future you ought to refrain from ad-hoc compiling generated SML
  5742 code on the ML toplevel.  Note that (for technical reasons) @{code}
  5743 cannot refer to constants for which user-defined serializations are
  5744 set.  Refer to the corresponding ML counterpart directly in that
  5745 cases.
  5746 
  5747 * Command 'rep_datatype': instead of theorem names the command now
  5748 takes a list of terms denoting the constructors of the type to be
  5749 represented as datatype.  The characteristic theorems have to be
  5750 proven.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Also observe that the following theorems
  5751 have disappeared in favour of existing ones:
  5752 
  5753     unit_induct                 ~> unit.induct
  5754     prod_induct                 ~> prod.induct
  5755     sum_induct                  ~> sum.induct
  5756     Suc_Suc_eq                  ~> nat.inject
  5757     Suc_not_Zero Zero_not_Suc   ~> nat.distinct
  5758 
  5759 
  5760 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  5761 
  5762 * New locales for orders and lattices where the equivalence relation
  5763 is not restricted to equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY: all order and lattice
  5764 locales use a record structure with field eq for the equivalence.
  5765 
  5766 * New theory of factorial domains.
  5767 
  5768 * Units_l_inv and Units_r_inv are now simp rules by default.
  5769 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Simplifier proof that require deletion of l_inv
  5770 and/or r_inv will now also require deletion of these lemmas.
  5771 
  5772 * Renamed the following theorems, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5773 
  5774 UpperD ~> Upper_memD
  5775 LowerD ~> Lower_memD
  5776 least_carrier ~> least_closed
  5777 greatest_carrier ~> greatest_closed
  5778 greatest_Lower_above ~> greatest_Lower_below
  5779 one_zero ~> carrier_one_zero
  5780 one_not_zero ~> carrier_one_not_zero  (collision with assumption)
  5781 
  5782 
  5783 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  5784 
  5785 * Nominal datatypes can now contain type-variables.
  5786 
  5787 * Commands 'nominal_inductive' and 'equivariance' work with local
  5788 theory targets.
  5789 
  5790 * Nominal primrec can now works with local theory targets and its
  5791 specification syntax now conforms to the general format as seen in
  5792 'inductive' etc.
  5793 
  5794 * Method "perm_simp" honours the standard simplifier attributes
  5795 (no_asm), (no_asm_use) etc.
  5796 
  5797 * The new predicate #* is defined like freshness, except that on the
  5798 left hand side can be a set or list of atoms.
  5799 
  5800 * Experimental command 'nominal_inductive2' derives strong induction
  5801 principles for inductive definitions.  In contrast to
  5802 'nominal_inductive', which can only deal with a fixed number of
  5803 binders, it can deal with arbitrary expressions standing for sets of
  5804 atoms to be avoided.  The only inductive definition we have at the
  5805 moment that needs this generalisation is the typing rule for Lets in
  5806 the algorithm W:
  5807 
  5808  Gamma |- t1 : T1   (x,close Gamma T1)::Gamma |- t2 : T2   x#Gamma
  5809  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  5810          Gamma |- Let x be t1 in t2 : T2
  5811 
  5812 In this rule one wants to avoid all the binders that are introduced by
  5813 "close Gamma T1".  We are looking for other examples where this
  5814 feature might be useful.  Please let us know.
  5815 
  5816 
  5817 *** HOLCF ***
  5818 
  5819 * Reimplemented the simplification procedure for proving continuity
  5820 subgoals.  The new simproc is extensible; users can declare additional
  5821 continuity introduction rules with the attribute [cont2cont].
  5822 
  5823 * The continuity simproc now uses a different introduction rule for
  5824 solving continuity subgoals on terms with lambda abstractions.  In
  5825 some rare cases the new simproc may fail to solve subgoals that the
  5826 old one could solve, and "simp add: cont2cont_LAM" may be necessary.
  5827 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5828 
  5829 * Command 'fixrec': specification syntax now conforms to the general
  5830 format as seen in 'inductive' etc.  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  5831 examples.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5832 
  5833 
  5834 *** ZF ***
  5835 
  5836 * Proof of Zorn's Lemma for partial orders.
  5837 
  5838 
  5839 *** ML ***
  5840 
  5841 * Multithreading for Poly/ML 5.1/5.2 is no longer supported, only for
  5842 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.  Important note: the TimeLimit facility
  5843 depends on multithreading, so timouts will not work before Poly/ML
  5844 5.2.1!
  5845 
  5846 * High-level support for concurrent ML programming, see
  5847 src/Pure/Cuncurrent.  The data-oriented model of "future values" is
  5848 particularly convenient to organize independent functional
  5849 computations.  The concept of "synchronized variables" provides a
  5850 higher-order interface for components with shared state, avoiding the
  5851 delicate details of mutexes and condition variables.  (Requires
  5852 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  5853 
  5854 * ML bindings produced via Isar commands are stored within the Isar
  5855 context (theory or proof).  Consequently, commands like 'use' and 'ML'
  5856 become thread-safe and work with undo as expected (concerning
  5857 top-level bindings, not side-effects on global references).
  5858 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to provide proper Isar context when invoking the
  5859 compiler at runtime; really global bindings need to be given outside a
  5860 theory.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  5861 
  5862 * Command 'ML_prf' is analogous to 'ML' but works within a proof
  5863 context.  Top-level ML bindings are stored within the proof context in
  5864 a purely sequential fashion, disregarding the nested proof structure.
  5865 ML bindings introduced by 'ML_prf' are discarded at the end of the
  5866 proof.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  5867 
  5868 * Simplified ML attribute and method setup, cf. functions Attrib.setup
  5869 and Method.setup, as well as Isar commands 'attribute_setup' and
  5870 'method_setup'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for 'method_setup', need to simplify
  5871 existing code accordingly, or use plain 'setup' together with old
  5872 Method.add_method.
  5873 
  5874 * Simplified ML oracle interface Thm.add_oracle promotes 'a -> cterm
  5875 to 'a -> thm, while results are always tagged with an authentic oracle
  5876 name.  The Isar command 'oracle' is now polymorphic, no argument type
  5877 is specified.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify existing oracle code
  5878 accordingly.  Note that extra performance may be gained by producing
  5879 the cterm carefully, avoiding slow Thm.cterm_of.
  5880 
  5881 * Simplified interface for defining document antiquotations via
  5882 ThyOutput.antiquotation, ThyOutput.output, and optionally
  5883 ThyOutput.maybe_pretty_source.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify user
  5884 antiquotations accordingly, see src/Pure/Thy/thy_output.ML for common
  5885 examples.
  5886 
  5887 * More systematic treatment of long names, abstract name bindings, and
  5888 name space operations.  Basic operations on qualified names have been
  5889 move from structure NameSpace to Long_Name, e.g. Long_Name.base_name,
  5890 Long_Name.append.  Old type bstring has been mostly replaced by
  5891 abstract type binding (see structure Binding), which supports precise
  5892 qualification by packages and local theory targets, as well as proper
  5893 tracking of source positions.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to wrap old
  5894 bstring values into Binding.name, or better pass through abstract
  5895 bindings everywhere.  See further src/Pure/General/long_name.ML,
  5896 src/Pure/General/binding.ML and src/Pure/General/name_space.ML
  5897 
  5898 * Result facts (from PureThy.note_thms, ProofContext.note_thms,
  5899 LocalTheory.note etc.) now refer to the *full* internal name, not the
  5900 bstring as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY, not detected by ML type-checking!
  5901 
  5902 * Disposed old type and term read functions (Sign.read_def_typ,
  5903 Sign.read_typ, Sign.read_def_terms, Sign.read_term,
  5904 Thm.read_def_cterms, Thm.read_cterm etc.).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should
  5905 use regular Syntax.read_typ, Syntax.read_term, Syntax.read_typ_global,
  5906 Syntax.read_term_global etc.; see also OldGoals.read_term as last
  5907 resort for legacy applications.
  5908 
  5909 * Disposed old declarations, tactics, tactic combinators that refer to
  5910 the simpset or claset of an implicit theory (such as Addsimps,
  5911 Simp_tac, SIMPSET).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should use @{simpset} etc. in
  5912 embedded ML text, or local_simpset_of with a proper context passed as
  5913 explicit runtime argument.
  5914 
  5915 * Rules and tactics that read instantiations (read_instantiate,
  5916 res_inst_tac, thin_tac, subgoal_tac etc.) now demand a proper proof
  5917 context, which is required for parsing and type-checking.  Moreover,
  5918 the variables are specified as plain indexnames, not string encodings
  5919 thereof.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5920 
  5921 * Generic Toplevel.add_hook interface allows to analyze the result of
  5922 transactions.  E.g. see src/Pure/ProofGeneral/proof_general_pgip.ML
  5923 for theorem dependency output of transactions resulting in a new
  5924 theory state.
  5925 
  5926 * ML antiquotations: block-structured compilation context indicated by
  5927 \<lbrace> ... \<rbrace>; additional antiquotation forms:
  5928 
  5929   @{binding name}                         - basic name binding
  5930   @{let ?pat = term}                      - term abbreviation (HO matching)
  5931   @{note name = fact}                     - fact abbreviation
  5932   @{thm fact}                             - singleton fact (with attributes)
  5933   @{thms fact}                            - general fact (with attributes)
  5934   @{lemma prop by method}                 - singleton goal
  5935   @{lemma prop by meth1 meth2}            - singleton goal
  5936   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by method}      - general goal
  5937   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by meth1 meth2} - general goal
  5938   @{lemma (open) ...}                     - open derivation
  5939 
  5940 
  5941 *** System ***
  5942 
  5943 * The Isabelle "emacs" tool provides a specific interface to invoke
  5944 Proof General / Emacs, with more explicit failure if that is not
  5945 installed (the old isabelle-interface script silently falls back on
  5946 isabelle-process).  The PROOFGENERAL_HOME setting determines the
  5947 installation location of the Proof General distribution.
  5948 
  5949 * Isabelle/lib/classes/Pure.jar provides basic support to integrate
  5950 the Isabelle process into a JVM/Scala application.  See
  5951 Isabelle/lib/jedit/plugin for a minimal example.  (The obsolete Java
  5952 process wrapper has been discontinued.)
  5953 
  5954 * Added homegrown Isabelle font with unicode layout, see lib/fonts.
  5955 
  5956 * Various status messages (with exact source position information) are
  5957 emitted, if proper markup print mode is enabled.  This allows
  5958 user-interface components to provide detailed feedback on internal
  5959 prover operations.
  5960 
  5961 
  5962 
  5963 New in Isabelle2008 (June 2008)
  5964 -------------------------------
  5965 
  5966 *** General ***
  5967 
  5968 * The Isabelle/Isar Reference Manual (isar-ref) has been reorganized
  5969 and updated, with formally checked references as hyperlinks.
  5970 
  5971 * Theory loader: use_thy (and similar operations) no longer set the
  5972 implicit ML context, which was occasionally hard to predict and in
  5973 conflict with concurrency.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML within Isar which
  5974 provides a proper context already.
  5975 
  5976 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  5977 file are no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, regular 'uses' and
  5978 'use' within a theory file will do the job.
  5979 
  5980 * Name space merge now observes canonical order, i.e. the second space
  5981 is inserted into the first one, while existing entries in the first
  5982 space take precedence.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, may try to
  5983 swap theory imports.
  5984 
  5985 * Syntax: symbol \<chi> is now considered a letter.  Potential
  5986 INCOMPATIBILITY in identifier syntax etc.
  5987 
  5988 * Outer syntax: string tokens no longer admit escaped white space,
  5989 which was an accidental (undocumented) feature.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5990 white space without escapes.
  5991 
  5992 * Outer syntax: string tokens may contain arbitrary character codes
  5993 specified via 3 decimal digits (as in SML).  E.g. "foo\095bar" for
  5994 "foo_bar".
  5995 
  5996 
  5997 *** Pure ***
  5998 
  5999 * Context-dependent token translations.  Default setup reverts locally
  6000 fixed variables, and adds hilite markup for undeclared frees.
  6001 
  6002 * Unused theorems can be found using the new command 'unused_thms'.
  6003 There are three ways of invoking it:
  6004 
  6005 (1) unused_thms
  6006      Only finds unused theorems in the current theory.
  6007 
  6008 (2) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n -
  6009      Finds unused theorems in the current theory and all of its ancestors,
  6010      excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of their ancestors.
  6011 
  6012 (3) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n - thy'_1 ... thy'_m
  6013      Finds unused theorems in the theories thy'_1 ... thy'_m and all of
  6014      their ancestors, excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of
  6015      their ancestors.
  6016 
  6017 In order to increase the readability of the list produced by
  6018 unused_thms, theorems that have been created by a particular instance
  6019 of a theory command such as 'inductive' or 'function' are considered
  6020 to belong to the same "group", meaning that if at least one theorem in
  6021 this group is used, the other theorems in the same group are no longer
  6022 reported as unused.  Moreover, if all theorems in the group are
  6023 unused, only one theorem in the group is displayed.
  6024 
  6025 Note that proof objects have to be switched on in order for
  6026 unused_thms to work properly (i.e. !proofs must be >= 1, which is
  6027 usually the case when using Proof General with the default settings).
  6028 
  6029 * Authentic naming of facts disallows ad-hoc overwriting of previous
  6030 theorems within the same name space.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to remove
  6031 duplicate fact bindings, or even accidental fact duplications.  Note
  6032 that tools may maintain dynamically scoped facts systematically, using
  6033 PureThy.add_thms_dynamic.
  6034 
  6035 * Command 'hide' now allows to hide from "fact" name space as well.
  6036 
  6037 * Eliminated destructive theorem database, simpset, claset, and
  6038 clasimpset.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, really need to observe linear
  6039 update of theories within ML code.
  6040 
  6041 * Eliminated theory ProtoPure and CPure, leaving just one Pure theory.
  6042 INCOMPATIBILITY, object-logics depending on former Pure require
  6043 additional setup PureThy.old_appl_syntax_setup; object-logics
  6044 depending on former CPure need to refer to Pure.
  6045 
  6046 * Commands 'use' and 'ML' are now purely functional, operating on
  6047 theory/local_theory.  Removed former 'ML_setup' (on theory), use 'ML'
  6048 instead.  Added 'ML_val' as mere diagnostic replacement for 'ML'.
  6049 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6050 
  6051 * Command 'setup': discontinued implicit version with ML reference.
  6052 
  6053 * Instantiation target allows for simultaneous specification of class
  6054 instance operations together with an instantiation proof.
  6055 Type-checking phase allows to refer to class operations uniformly.
  6056 See src/HOL/Complex/Complex.thy for an Isar example and
  6057 src/HOL/Library/Eval.thy for an ML example.
  6058 
  6059 * Indexing of literal facts: be more serious about including only
  6060 facts from the visible specification/proof context, but not the
  6061 background context (locale etc.).  Affects `prop` notation and method
  6062 "fact".  INCOMPATIBILITY: need to name facts explicitly in rare
  6063 situations.
  6064 
  6065 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": removed obsolete/undocumented
  6066 "(open)" option, which used to expose internal bound variables to the
  6067 proof text.
  6068 
  6069 * Isar statements: removed obsolete case "rule_context".
  6070 INCOMPATIBILITY, better use explicit fixes/assumes.
  6071 
  6072 * Locale proofs: default proof step now includes 'unfold_locales';
  6073 hence 'proof' without argument may be used to unfold locale
  6074 predicates.
  6075 
  6076 
  6077 *** Document preparation ***
  6078 
  6079 * Simplified pdfsetup.sty: color/hyperref is used unconditionally for
  6080 both pdf and dvi (hyperlinks usually work in xdvi as well); removed
  6081 obsolete thumbpdf setup (contemporary PDF viewers do this on the
  6082 spot); renamed link color from "darkblue" to "linkcolor" (default
  6083 value unchanged, can be redefined via \definecolor); no longer sets
  6084 "a4paper" option (unnecessary or even intrusive).
  6085 
  6086 * Antiquotation @{lemma A method} proves proposition A by the given
  6087 method (either a method name or a method name plus (optional) method
  6088 arguments in parentheses) and prints A just like @{prop A}.
  6089 
  6090 
  6091 *** HOL ***
  6092 
  6093 * New primrec package.  Specification syntax conforms in style to
  6094 definition/function/....  No separate induction rule is provided.  The
  6095 "primrec" command distinguishes old-style and new-style specifications
  6096 by syntax.  The former primrec package is now named OldPrimrecPackage.
  6097 When adjusting theories, beware: constants stemming from new-style
  6098 primrec specifications have authentic syntax.
  6099 
  6100 * Metis prover is now an order of magnitude faster, and also works
  6101 with multithreading.
  6102 
  6103 * Metis: the maximum number of clauses that can be produced from a
  6104 theorem is now given by the attribute max_clauses.  Theorems that
  6105 exceed this number are ignored, with a warning printed.
  6106 
  6107 * Sledgehammer no longer produces structured proofs by default. To
  6108 enable, declare [[sledgehammer_full = true]].  Attributes
  6109 reconstruction_modulus, reconstruction_sorts renamed
  6110 sledgehammer_modulus, sledgehammer_sorts.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6111 
  6112 * Method "induct_scheme" derives user-specified induction rules
  6113 from well-founded induction and completeness of patterns. This factors
  6114 out some operations that are done internally by the function package
  6115 and makes them available separately.  See
  6116 src/HOL/ex/Induction_Scheme.thy for examples.
  6117 
  6118 * More flexible generation of measure functions for termination
  6119 proofs: Measure functions can be declared by proving a rule of the
  6120 form "is_measure f" and giving it the [measure_function] attribute.
  6121 The "is_measure" predicate is logically meaningless (always true), and
  6122 just guides the heuristic.  To find suitable measure functions, the
  6123 termination prover sets up the goal "is_measure ?f" of the appropriate
  6124 type and generates all solutions by prolog-style backwards proof using
  6125 the declared rules.
  6126 
  6127 This setup also deals with rules like 
  6128 
  6129   "is_measure f ==> is_measure (list_size f)"
  6130 
  6131 which accommodates nested datatypes that recurse through lists.
  6132 Similar rules are predeclared for products and option types.
  6133 
  6134 * Turned the type of sets "'a set" into an abbreviation for "'a => bool"
  6135 
  6136   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  6137 
  6138   - Definitions of overloaded constants on sets have to be replaced by
  6139     definitions on => and bool.
  6140 
  6141   - Some definitions of overloaded operators on sets can now be proved
  6142     using the definitions of the operators on => and bool.  Therefore,
  6143     the following theorems have been renamed:
  6144 
  6145       subset_def   -> subset_eq
  6146       psubset_def  -> psubset_eq
  6147       set_diff_def -> set_diff_eq
  6148       Compl_def    -> Compl_eq
  6149       Sup_set_def  -> Sup_set_eq
  6150       Inf_set_def  -> Inf_set_eq
  6151       sup_set_def  -> sup_set_eq
  6152       inf_set_def  -> inf_set_eq
  6153 
  6154   - Due to the incompleteness of the HO unification algorithm, some
  6155     rules such as subst may require manual instantiation, if some of
  6156     the unknowns in the rule is a set.
  6157 
  6158   - Higher order unification and forward proofs:
  6159     The proof pattern
  6160 
  6161       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  6162       then have "EX S. P S" ..
  6163 
  6164     no longer works (due to the incompleteness of the HO unification
  6165     algorithm) and must be replaced by the pattern
  6166 
  6167       have "EX S. P S"
  6168       proof
  6169         show "P S" <...>
  6170       qed
  6171 
  6172   - Calculational reasoning with subst (or similar rules):
  6173     The proof pattern
  6174 
  6175       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  6176       also have "S = T" <...>
  6177       finally have "P T" .
  6178 
  6179     no longer works (for similar reasons as the previous example) and
  6180     must be replaced by something like
  6181 
  6182       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  6183       moreover have "S = T" <...>
  6184       ultimately have "P T" by simp
  6185 
  6186   - Tactics or packages written in ML code:
  6187     Code performing pattern matching on types via
  6188 
  6189       Type ("set", [T]) => ...
  6190 
  6191     must be rewritten. Moreover, functions like strip_type or
  6192     binder_types no longer return the right value when applied to a
  6193     type of the form
  6194 
  6195       T1 => ... => Tn => U => bool
  6196 
  6197     rather than
  6198 
  6199       T1 => ... => Tn => U set
  6200 
  6201 * Merged theories Wellfounded_Recursion, Accessible_Part and
  6202 Wellfounded_Relations to theory Wellfounded.
  6203 
  6204 * Explicit class "eq" for executable equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6205 
  6206 * Class finite no longer treats UNIV as class parameter.  Use class
  6207 enum from theory Library/Enum instead to achieve a similar effect.
  6208 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6209 
  6210 * Theory List: rule list_induct2 now has explicitly named cases "Nil"
  6211 and "Cons".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6212 
  6213 * HOL (and FOL): renamed variables in rules imp_elim and swap.
  6214 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6215 
  6216 * Theory Product_Type: duplicated lemmas split_Pair_apply and
  6217 injective_fst_snd removed, use split_eta and prod_eqI instead.
  6218 Renamed upd_fst to apfst and upd_snd to apsnd.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6219 
  6220 * Theory Nat: removed redundant lemmas that merely duplicate lemmas of
  6221 the same name in theory Orderings:
  6222 
  6223   less_trans
  6224   less_linear
  6225   le_imp_less_or_eq
  6226   le_less_trans
  6227   less_le_trans
  6228   less_not_sym
  6229   less_asym
  6230 
  6231 Renamed less_imp_le to less_imp_le_nat, and less_irrefl to
  6232 less_irrefl_nat.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to more general types
  6233 and different variable names.
  6234 
  6235 * Library/Option_ord.thy: Canonical order on option type.
  6236 
  6237 * Library/RBT.thy: Red-black trees, an efficient implementation of
  6238 finite maps.
  6239 
  6240 * Library/Countable.thy: Type class for countable types.
  6241 
  6242 * Theory Int: The representation of numerals has changed.  The infix
  6243 operator BIT and the bit datatype with constructors B0 and B1 have
  6244 disappeared.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "Int.Bit0 x" and "Int.Bit1 y" in
  6245 place of "x BIT bit.B0" and "y BIT bit.B1", respectively.  Theorems
  6246 involving BIT, B0, or B1 have been renamed with "Bit0" or "Bit1"
  6247 accordingly.
  6248 
  6249 * Theory Nat: definition of <= and < on natural numbers no longer
  6250 depend on well-founded relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Definitions
  6251 le_def and less_def have disappeared.  Consider lemmas not_less
  6252 [symmetric, where ?'a = nat] and less_eq [symmetric] instead.
  6253 
  6254 * Theory Finite_Set: locales ACf, ACe, ACIf, ACIfSL and ACIfSLlin
  6255 (whose purpose mainly is for various fold_set functionals) have been
  6256 abandoned in favor of the existing algebraic classes
  6257 ab_semigroup_mult, comm_monoid_mult, ab_semigroup_idem_mult,
  6258 lower_semilattice (resp. upper_semilattice) and linorder.
  6259 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6260 
  6261 * Theory Transitive_Closure: induct and cases rules now declare proper
  6262 case_names ("base" and "step").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6263 
  6264 * Theorem Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct generalized to complete
  6265 lattices.  The form set-specific version is available as
  6266 Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct_set.
  6267 
  6268 * Renamed theorems "power.simps" to "power_int.simps".
  6269 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6270 
  6271 * Class semiring_div provides basic abstract properties of semirings
  6272 with division and modulo operations.  Subsumes former class dvd_mod.
  6273 
  6274 * Merged theories IntDef, Numeral and IntArith into unified theory
  6275 Int.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6276 
  6277 * Theory Library/Code_Index: type "index" now represents natural
  6278 numbers rather than integers.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6279 
  6280 * New class "uminus" with operation "uminus" (split of from class
  6281 "minus" which now only has operation "minus", binary).
  6282 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6283 
  6284 * Constants "card", "internal_split", "option_map" now with authentic
  6285 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6286 
  6287 * Definitions subset_def, psubset_def, set_diff_def, Compl_def,
  6288 le_bool_def, less_bool_def, le_fun_def, less_fun_def, inf_bool_def,
  6289 sup_bool_def, Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, inf_fun_def, sup_fun_def,
  6290 Inf_fun_def, Sup_fun_def, inf_set_def, sup_set_def, Inf_set_def,
  6291 Sup_set_def, le_def, less_def, option_map_def now with object
  6292 equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6293 
  6294 * Records. Removed K_record, and replaced it by pure lambda term
  6295 %x. c. The simplifier setup is now more robust against eta expansion.
  6296 INCOMPATIBILITY: in cases explicitly referring to K_record.
  6297 
  6298 * Library/Multiset: {#a, b, c#} abbreviates {#a#} + {#b#} + {#c#}.
  6299 
  6300 * Library/ListVector: new theory of arithmetic vector operations.
  6301 
  6302 * Library/Order_Relation: new theory of various orderings as sets of
  6303 pairs.  Defines preorders, partial orders, linear orders and
  6304 well-orders on sets and on types.
  6305 
  6306 
  6307 *** ZF ***
  6308 
  6309 * Renamed some theories to allow to loading both ZF and HOL in the
  6310 same session:
  6311 
  6312   Datatype  -> Datatype_ZF
  6313   Inductive -> Inductive_ZF
  6314   Int       -> Int_ZF
  6315   IntDiv    -> IntDiv_ZF
  6316   Nat       -> Nat_ZF
  6317   List      -> List_ZF
  6318   Main      -> Main_ZF
  6319 
  6320 INCOMPATIBILITY: ZF theories that import individual theories below
  6321 Main might need to be adapted.  Regular theory Main is still
  6322 available, as trivial extension of Main_ZF.
  6323 
  6324 
  6325 *** ML ***
  6326 
  6327 * ML within Isar: antiquotation @{const name} or @{const
  6328 name(typargs)} produces statically-checked Const term.
  6329 
  6330 * Functor NamedThmsFun: data is available to the user as dynamic fact
  6331 (of the same name).  Removed obsolete print command.
  6332 
  6333 * Removed obsolete "use_legacy_bindings" function.
  6334 
  6335 * The ``print mode'' is now a thread-local value derived from a global
  6336 template (the former print_mode reference), thus access becomes
  6337 non-critical.  The global print_mode reference is for session
  6338 management only; user-code should use print_mode_value,
  6339 print_mode_active, PrintMode.setmp etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6340 
  6341 * Functions system/system_out provide a robust way to invoke external
  6342 shell commands, with propagation of interrupts (requires Poly/ML
  6343 5.2.1).  Do not use OS.Process.system etc. from the basis library!
  6344 
  6345 
  6346 *** System ***
  6347 
  6348 * Default settings: PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS no longer impose xemacs ---
  6349 in accordance with Proof General 3.7, which prefers GNU emacs.
  6350 
  6351 * isatool tty runs Isabelle process with plain tty interaction;
  6352 optional line editor may be specified via ISABELLE_LINE_EDITOR
  6353 setting, the default settings attempt to locate "ledit" and "rlwrap".
  6354 
  6355 * isatool browser now works with Cygwin as well, using general
  6356 "javapath" function defined in Isabelle process environment.
  6357 
  6358 * YXML notation provides a simple and efficient alternative to
  6359 standard XML transfer syntax.  See src/Pure/General/yxml.ML and
  6360 isatool yxml as described in the Isabelle system manual.
  6361 
  6362 * JVM class isabelle.IsabelleProcess (located in Isabelle/lib/classes)
  6363 provides general wrapper for managing an Isabelle process in a robust
  6364 fashion, with ``cooked'' output from stdin/stderr.
  6365 
  6366 * Rudimentary Isabelle plugin for jEdit (see Isabelle/lib/jedit),
  6367 based on Isabelle/JVM process wrapper (see Isabelle/lib/classes).
  6368 
  6369 * Removed obsolete THIS_IS_ISABELLE_BUILD feature.  NB: the documented
  6370 way of changing the user's settings is via
  6371 ISABELLE_HOME_USER/etc/settings, which is a fully featured bash
  6372 script.
  6373 
  6374 * Multithreading.max_threads := 0 refers to the number of actual CPU
  6375 cores of the underlying machine, which is a good starting point for
  6376 optimal performance tuning.  The corresponding usedir option -M allows
  6377 "max" as an alias for "0".  WARNING: does not work on certain versions
  6378 of Mac OS (with Poly/ML 5.1).
  6379 
  6380 * isabelle-process: non-ML sessions are run with "nice", to reduce the
  6381 adverse effect of Isabelle flooding interactive front-ends (notably
  6382 ProofGeneral / XEmacs).
  6383 
  6384 
  6385 
  6386 New in Isabelle2007 (November 2007)
  6387 -----------------------------------
  6388 
  6389 *** General ***
  6390 
  6391 * More uniform information about legacy features, notably a
  6392 warning/error of "Legacy feature: ...", depending on the state of the
  6393 tolerate_legacy_features flag (default true). FUTURE INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6394 legacy features will disappear eventually.
  6395 
  6396 * Theory syntax: the header format ``theory A = B + C:'' has been
  6397 discontinued in favour of ``theory A imports B C begin''.  Use isatool
  6398 fixheaders to convert existing theory files.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6399 
  6400 * Theory syntax: the old non-Isar theory file format has been
  6401 discontinued altogether.  Note that ML proof scripts may still be used
  6402 with Isar theories; migration is usually quite simple with the ML
  6403 function use_legacy_bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6404 
  6405 * Theory syntax: some popular names (e.g. 'class', 'declaration',
  6406 'fun', 'help', 'if') are now keywords.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use double
  6407 quotes.
  6408 
  6409 * Theory loader: be more serious about observing the static theory
  6410 header specifications (including optional directories), but not the
  6411 accidental file locations of previously successful loads.  The strict
  6412 update policy of former update_thy is now already performed by
  6413 use_thy, so the former has been removed; use_thys updates several
  6414 theories simultaneously, just as 'imports' within a theory header
  6415 specification, but without merging the results.  Potential
  6416 INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to refine theory headers and commands
  6417 ROOT.ML which depend on load order.
  6418 
  6419 * Theory loader: optional support for content-based file
  6420 identification, instead of the traditional scheme of full physical
  6421 path plus date stamp; configured by the ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT setting
  6422 (cf. the system manual).  The new scheme allows to work with
  6423 non-finished theories in persistent session images, such that source
  6424 files may be moved later on without requiring reloads.
  6425 
  6426 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  6427 file (with the same base name as the theory) are considered a legacy
  6428 feature, which will disappear eventually. Even now, the theory loader
  6429 no longer maintains dependencies on such files.
  6430 
  6431 * Syntax: the scope for resolving ambiguities via type-inference is
  6432 now limited to individual terms, instead of whole simultaneous
  6433 specifications as before. This greatly reduces the complexity of the
  6434 syntax module and improves flexibility by separating parsing and
  6435 type-checking. INCOMPATIBILITY: additional type-constraints (explicit
  6436 'fixes' etc.) are required in rare situations.
  6437 
  6438 * Syntax: constants introduced by new-style packages ('definition',
  6439 'abbreviation' etc.) are passed through the syntax module in
  6440 ``authentic mode''. This means that associated mixfix annotations
  6441 really stick to such constants, independently of potential name space
  6442 ambiguities introduced later on. INCOMPATIBILITY: constants in parse
  6443 trees are represented slightly differently, may need to adapt syntax
  6444 translations accordingly. Use CONST marker in 'translations' and
  6445 @{const_syntax} antiquotation in 'parse_translation' etc.
  6446 
  6447 * Legacy goal package: reduced interface to the bare minimum required
  6448 to keep existing proof scripts running.  Most other user-level
  6449 functions are now part of the OldGoals structure, which is *not* open
  6450 by default (consider isatool expandshort before open OldGoals).
  6451 Removed top_sg, prin, printyp, pprint_term/typ altogether, because
  6452 these tend to cause confusion about the actual goal (!) context being
  6453 used here, which is not necessarily the same as the_context().
  6454 
  6455 * Command 'find_theorems': supports "*" wild-card in "name:"
  6456 criterion; "with_dups" option.  Certain ProofGeneral versions might
  6457 support a specific search form (see ProofGeneral/CHANGES).
  6458 
  6459 * The ``prems limit'' option (cf. ProofContext.prems_limit) is now -1
  6460 by default, which means that "prems" (and also "fixed variables") are
  6461 suppressed from proof state output.  Note that the ProofGeneral
  6462 settings mechanism allows to change and save options persistently, but
  6463 older versions of Isabelle will fail to start up if a negative prems
  6464 limit is imposed.
  6465 
  6466 * Local theory targets may be specified by non-nested blocks of
  6467 ``context/locale/class ... begin'' followed by ``end''.  The body may
  6468 contain definitions, theorems etc., including any derived mechanism
  6469 that has been implemented on top of these primitives.  This concept
  6470 generalizes the existing ``theorem (in ...)'' towards more versatility
  6471 and scalability.
  6472 
  6473 * Proof General interface: proper undo of final 'end' command;
  6474 discontinued Isabelle/classic mode (ML proof scripts).
  6475 
  6476 
  6477 *** Document preparation ***
  6478 
  6479 * Added antiquotation @{theory name} which prints the given name,
  6480 after checking that it refers to a valid ancestor theory in the
  6481 current context.
  6482 
  6483 * Added antiquotations @{ML_type text} and @{ML_struct text} which
  6484 check the given source text as ML type/structure, printing verbatim.
  6485 
  6486 * Added antiquotation @{abbrev "c args"} which prints the abbreviation
  6487 "c args == rhs" given in the current context.  (Any number of
  6488 arguments may be given on the LHS.)
  6489 
  6490 
  6491 *** Pure ***
  6492 
  6493 * The 'class' package offers a combination of axclass and locale to
  6494 achieve Haskell-like type classes in Isabelle.  Definitions and
  6495 theorems within a class context produce both relative results (with
  6496 implicit parameters according to the locale context), and polymorphic
  6497 constants with qualified polymorphism (according to the class
  6498 context).  Within the body context of a 'class' target, a separate
  6499 syntax layer ("user space type system") takes care of converting
  6500 between global polymorphic consts and internal locale representation.
  6501 See src/HOL/ex/Classpackage.thy for examples (as well as main HOL).
  6502 "isatool doc classes" provides a tutorial.
  6503 
  6504 * Generic code generator framework allows to generate executable
  6505 code for ML and Haskell (including Isabelle classes).  A short usage
  6506 sketch:
  6507 
  6508     internal compilation:
  6509         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML
  6510     writing SML code to a file:
  6511         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML <filename>
  6512     writing OCaml code to a file:
  6513         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in OCaml <filename>
  6514     writing Haskell code to a bunch of files:
  6515         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in Haskell <filename>
  6516 
  6517     evaluating closed propositions to True/False using code generation:
  6518         method ``eval''
  6519 
  6520 Reasonable default setup of framework in HOL.
  6521 
  6522 Theorem attributs for selecting and transforming function equations theorems:
  6523 
  6524     [code fun]:        select a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  6525     [code fun del]:    deselect a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  6526     [code inline]:     select an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  6527     [code inline del]: deselect an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  6528 
  6529 User-defined serializations (target in {SML, OCaml, Haskell}):
  6530 
  6531     code_const <and-list of constants (term syntax)>
  6532       {(target) <and-list of const target syntax>}+
  6533 
  6534     code_type <and-list of type constructors>
  6535       {(target) <and-list of type target syntax>}+
  6536 
  6537     code_instance <and-list of instances>
  6538       {(target)}+
  6539         where instance ::= <type constructor> :: <class>
  6540 
  6541     code_class <and_list of classes>
  6542       {(target) <and-list of class target syntax>}+
  6543         where class target syntax ::= <class name> {where {<classop> == <target syntax>}+}?
  6544 
  6545 code_instance and code_class only are effective to target Haskell.
  6546 
  6547 For example usage see src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator.thy and
  6548 src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator_Pretty.thy.  A separate tutorial on code
  6549 generation from Isabelle/HOL theories is available via "isatool doc
  6550 codegen".
  6551 
  6552 * Code generator: consts in 'consts_code' Isar commands are now
  6553 referred to by usual term syntax (including optional type
  6554 annotations).
  6555 
  6556 * Command 'no_translations' removes translation rules from theory
  6557 syntax.
  6558 
  6559 * Overloaded definitions are now actually checked for acyclic
  6560 dependencies.  The overloading scheme is slightly more general than
  6561 that of Haskell98, although Isabelle does not demand an exact
  6562 correspondence to type class and instance declarations.
  6563 INCOMPATIBILITY, use ``defs (unchecked overloaded)'' to admit more
  6564 exotic versions of overloading -- at the discretion of the user!
  6565 
  6566 Polymorphic constants are represented via type arguments, i.e. the
  6567 instantiation that matches an instance against the most general
  6568 declaration given in the signature.  For example, with the declaration
  6569 c :: 'a => 'a => 'a, an instance c :: nat => nat => nat is represented
  6570 as c(nat).  Overloading is essentially simultaneous structural
  6571 recursion over such type arguments.  Incomplete specification patterns
  6572 impose global constraints on all occurrences, e.g. c('a * 'a) on the
  6573 LHS means that more general c('a * 'b) will be disallowed on any RHS.
  6574 Command 'print_theory' outputs the normalized system of recursive
  6575 equations, see section "definitions".
  6576 
  6577 * Configuration options are maintained within the theory or proof
  6578 context (with name and type bool/int/string), providing a very simple
  6579 interface to a poor-man's version of general context data.  Tools may
  6580 declare options in ML (e.g. using Attrib.config_int) and then refer to
  6581 these values using Config.get etc.  Users may change options via an
  6582 associated attribute of the same name.  This form of context
  6583 declaration works particularly well with commands 'declare' or
  6584 'using', for example ``declare [[foo = 42]]''.  Thus it has become
  6585 very easy to avoid global references, which would not observe Isar
  6586 toplevel undo/redo and fail to work with multithreading.
  6587 
  6588 Various global ML references of Pure and HOL have been turned into
  6589 configuration options:
  6590 
  6591   Unify.search_bound		unify_search_bound
  6592   Unify.trace_bound		unify_trace_bound
  6593   Unify.trace_simp		unify_trace_simp
  6594   Unify.trace_types		unify_trace_types
  6595   Simplifier.simp_depth_limit	simp_depth_limit
  6596   Blast.depth_limit		blast_depth_limit
  6597   DatatypeProp.dtK		datatype_distinctness_limit
  6598   fast_arith_neq_limit  	fast_arith_neq_limit
  6599   fast_arith_split_limit	fast_arith_split_limit
  6600 
  6601 * Named collections of theorems may be easily installed as context
  6602 data using the functor NamedThmsFun (see also
  6603 src/Pure/Tools/named_thms.ML).  The user may add or delete facts via
  6604 attributes; there is also a toplevel print command.  This facility is
  6605 just a common case of general context data, which is the preferred way
  6606 for anything more complex than just a list of facts in canonical
  6607 order.
  6608 
  6609 * Isar: command 'declaration' augments a local theory by generic
  6610 declaration functions written in ML.  This enables arbitrary content
  6611 being added to the context, depending on a morphism that tells the
  6612 difference of the original declaration context wrt. the application
  6613 context encountered later on.
  6614 
  6615 * Isar: proper interfaces for simplification procedures.  Command
  6616 'simproc_setup' declares named simprocs (with match patterns, and body
  6617 text in ML).  Attribute "simproc" adds/deletes simprocs in the current
  6618 context.  ML antiquotation @{simproc name} retrieves named simprocs.
  6619 
  6620 * Isar: an extra pair of brackets around attribute declarations
  6621 abbreviates a theorem reference involving an internal dummy fact,
  6622 which will be ignored later --- only the effect of the attribute on
  6623 the background context will persist.  This form of in-place
  6624 declarations is particularly useful with commands like 'declare' and
  6625 'using', for example ``have A using [[simproc a]] by simp''.
  6626 
  6627 * Isar: method "assumption" (and implicit closing of subproofs) now
  6628 takes simple non-atomic goal assumptions into account: after applying
  6629 an assumption as a rule the resulting subgoals are solved by atomic
  6630 assumption steps.  This is particularly useful to finish 'obtain'
  6631 goals, such as "!!x. (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> P x ==> thesis",
  6632 without referring to the original premise "!!x. P x ==> thesis" in the
  6633 Isar proof context.  POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY: method "assumption" is
  6634 more permissive.
  6635 
  6636 * Isar: implicit use of prems from the Isar proof context is
  6637 considered a legacy feature.  Common applications like ``have A .''
  6638 may be replaced by ``have A by fact'' or ``note `A`''.  In general,
  6639 referencing facts explicitly here improves readability and
  6640 maintainability of proof texts.
  6641 
  6642 * Isar: improper proof element 'guess' is like 'obtain', but derives
  6643 the obtained context from the course of reasoning!  For example:
  6644 
  6645   assume "EX x y. A x & B y"   -- "any previous fact"
  6646   then guess x and y by clarify
  6647 
  6648 This technique is potentially adventurous, depending on the facts and
  6649 proof tools being involved here.
  6650 
  6651 * Isar: known facts from the proof context may be specified as literal
  6652 propositions, using ASCII back-quote syntax.  This works wherever
  6653 named facts used to be allowed so far, in proof commands, proof
  6654 methods, attributes etc.  Literal facts are retrieved from the context
  6655 according to unification of type and term parameters.  For example,
  6656 provided that "A" and "A ==> B" and "!!x. P x ==> Q x" are known
  6657 theorems in the current context, then these are valid literal facts:
  6658 `A` and `A ==> B` and `!!x. P x ==> Q x" as well as `P a ==> Q a` etc.
  6659 
  6660 There is also a proof method "fact" which does the same composition
  6661 for explicit goal states, e.g. the following proof texts coincide with
  6662 certain special cases of literal facts:
  6663 
  6664   have "A" by fact                 ==  note `A`
  6665   have "A ==> B" by fact           ==  note `A ==> B`
  6666   have "!!x. P x ==> Q x" by fact  ==  note `!!x. P x ==> Q x`
  6667   have "P a ==> Q a" by fact       ==  note `P a ==> Q a`
  6668 
  6669 * Isar: ":" (colon) is no longer a symbolic identifier character in
  6670 outer syntax.  Thus symbolic identifiers may be used without
  6671 additional white space in declarations like this: ``assume *: A''.
  6672 
  6673 * Isar: 'print_facts' prints all local facts of the current context,
  6674 both named and unnamed ones.
  6675 
  6676 * Isar: 'def' now admits simultaneous definitions, e.g.:
  6677 
  6678   def x == "t" and y == "u"
  6679 
  6680 * Isar: added command 'unfolding', which is structurally similar to
  6681 'using', but affects both the goal state and facts by unfolding given
  6682 rewrite rules.  Thus many occurrences of the 'unfold' method or
  6683 'unfolded' attribute may be replaced by first-class proof text.
  6684 
  6685 * Isar: methods 'unfold' / 'fold', attributes 'unfolded' / 'folded',
  6686 and command 'unfolding' now all support object-level equalities
  6687 (potentially conditional).  The underlying notion of rewrite rule is
  6688 analogous to the 'rule_format' attribute, but *not* that of the
  6689 Simplifier (which is usually more generous).
  6690 
  6691 * Isar: the new attribute [rotated n] (default n = 1) rotates the
  6692 premises of a theorem by n. Useful in conjunction with drule.
  6693 
  6694 * Isar: the goal restriction operator [N] (default N = 1) evaluates a
  6695 method expression within a sandbox consisting of the first N
  6696 sub-goals, which need to exist.  For example, ``simp_all [3]''
  6697 simplifies the first three sub-goals, while (rule foo, simp_all)[]
  6698 simplifies all new goals that emerge from applying rule foo to the
  6699 originally first one.
  6700 
  6701 * Isar: schematic goals are no longer restricted to higher-order
  6702 patterns; e.g. ``lemma "?P(?x)" by (rule TrueI)'' now works as
  6703 expected.
  6704 
  6705 * Isar: the conclusion of a long theorem statement is now either
  6706 'shows' (a simultaneous conjunction, as before), or 'obtains'
  6707 (essentially a disjunction of cases with local parameters and
  6708 assumptions).  The latter allows to express general elimination rules
  6709 adequately; in this notation common elimination rules look like this:
  6710 
  6711   lemma exE:    -- "EX x. P x ==> (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6712     assumes "EX x. P x"
  6713     obtains x where "P x"
  6714 
  6715   lemma conjE:  -- "A & B ==> (A ==> B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6716     assumes "A & B"
  6717     obtains A and B
  6718 
  6719   lemma disjE:  -- "A | B ==> (A ==> thesis) ==> (B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6720     assumes "A | B"
  6721     obtains
  6722       A
  6723     | B
  6724 
  6725 The subsequent classical rules even refer to the formal "thesis"
  6726 explicitly:
  6727 
  6728   lemma classical:     -- "(~ thesis ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6729     obtains "~ thesis"
  6730 
  6731   lemma Peirce's_Law:  -- "((thesis ==> something) ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6732     obtains "thesis ==> something"
  6733 
  6734 The actual proof of an 'obtains' statement is analogous to that of the
  6735 Isar proof element 'obtain', only that there may be several cases.
  6736 Optional case names may be specified in parentheses; these will be
  6737 available both in the present proof and as annotations in the
  6738 resulting rule, for later use with the 'cases' method (cf. attribute
  6739 case_names).
  6740 
  6741 * Isar: the assumptions of a long theorem statement are available as
  6742 "assms" fact in the proof context.  This is more appropriate than the
  6743 (historical) "prems", which refers to all assumptions of the current
  6744 context, including those from the target locale, proof body etc.
  6745 
  6746 * Isar: 'print_statement' prints theorems from the current theory or
  6747 proof context in long statement form, according to the syntax of a
  6748 top-level lemma.
  6749 
  6750 * Isar: 'obtain' takes an optional case name for the local context
  6751 introduction rule (default "that").
  6752 
  6753 * Isar: removed obsolete 'concl is' patterns.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  6754 explicit (is "_ ==> ?foo") in the rare cases where this still happens
  6755 to occur.
  6756 
  6757 * Pure: syntax "CONST name" produces a fully internalized constant
  6758 according to the current context.  This is particularly useful for
  6759 syntax translations that should refer to internal constant
  6760 representations independently of name spaces.
  6761 
  6762 * Pure: syntax constant for foo (binder "FOO ") is called "foo_binder"
  6763 instead of "FOO ". This allows multiple binder declarations to coexist
  6764 in the same context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6765 
  6766 * Isar/locales: 'notation' provides a robust interface to the 'syntax'
  6767 primitive that also works in a locale context (both for constants and
  6768 fixed variables). Type declaration and internal syntactic representation
  6769 of given constants retrieved from the context. Likewise, the
  6770 'no_notation' command allows to remove given syntax annotations from the
  6771 current context.
  6772 
  6773 * Isar/locales: new derived specification elements 'axiomatization',
  6774 'definition', 'abbreviation', which support type-inference, admit
  6775 object-level specifications (equality, equivalence).  See also the
  6776 isar-ref manual.  Examples:
  6777 
  6778   axiomatization
  6779     eq  (infix "===" 50) where
  6780     eq_refl: "x === x" and eq_subst: "x === y ==> P x ==> P y"
  6781 
  6782   definition "f x y = x + y + 1"
  6783   definition g where "g x = f x x"
  6784 
  6785   abbreviation
  6786     neq  (infix "=!=" 50) where
  6787     "x =!= y == ~ (x === y)"
  6788 
  6789 These specifications may be also used in a locale context.  Then the
  6790 constants being introduced depend on certain fixed parameters, and the
  6791 constant name is qualified by the locale base name.  An internal
  6792 abbreviation takes care for convenient input and output, making the
  6793 parameters implicit and using the original short name.  See also
  6794 src/HOL/ex/Abstract_NAT.thy for an example of deriving polymorphic
  6795 entities from a monomorphic theory.
  6796 
  6797 Presently, abbreviations are only available 'in' a target locale, but
  6798 not inherited by general import expressions.  Also note that
  6799 'abbreviation' may be used as a type-safe replacement for 'syntax' +
  6800 'translations' in common applications.  The "no_abbrevs" print mode
  6801 prevents folding of abbreviations in term output.
  6802 
  6803 Concrete syntax is attached to specified constants in internal form,
  6804 independently of name spaces.  The parse tree representation is
  6805 slightly different -- use 'notation' instead of raw 'syntax', and
  6806 'translations' with explicit "CONST" markup to accommodate this.
  6807 
  6808 * Pure/Isar: unified syntax for new-style specification mechanisms
  6809 (e.g.  'definition', 'abbreviation', or 'inductive' in HOL) admits
  6810 full type inference and dummy patterns ("_").  For example:
  6811 
  6812   definition "K x _ = x"
  6813 
  6814   inductive conj for A B
  6815   where "A ==> B ==> conj A B"
  6816 
  6817 * Pure: command 'print_abbrevs' prints all constant abbreviations of
  6818 the current context.  Print mode "no_abbrevs" prevents inversion of
  6819 abbreviations on output.
  6820 
  6821 * Isar/locales: improved parameter handling: use of locales "var" and
  6822 "struct" no longer necessary; - parameter renamings are no longer
  6823 required to be injective.  For example, this allows to define
  6824 endomorphisms as locale endom = homom mult mult h.
  6825 
  6826 * Isar/locales: changed the way locales with predicates are defined.
  6827 Instead of accumulating the specification, the imported expression is
  6828 now an interpretation.  INCOMPATIBILITY: different normal form of
  6829 locale expressions.  In particular, in interpretations of locales with
  6830 predicates, goals repesenting already interpreted fragments are not
  6831 removed automatically.  Use methods `intro_locales' and
  6832 `unfold_locales'; see below.
  6833 
  6834 * Isar/locales: new methods `intro_locales' and `unfold_locales'
  6835 provide backward reasoning on locales predicates.  The methods are
  6836 aware of interpretations and discharge corresponding goals.
  6837 `intro_locales' is less aggressive then `unfold_locales' and does not
  6838 unfold predicates to assumptions.
  6839 
  6840 * Isar/locales: the order in which locale fragments are accumulated
  6841 has changed.  This enables to override declarations from fragments due
  6842 to interpretations -- for example, unwanted simp rules.
  6843 
  6844 * Isar/locales: interpretation in theories and proof contexts has been
  6845 extended.  One may now specify (and prove) equations, which are
  6846 unfolded in interpreted theorems.  This is useful for replacing
  6847 defined concepts (constants depending on locale parameters) by
  6848 concepts already existing in the target context.  Example:
  6849 
  6850   interpretation partial_order ["op <= :: [int, int] => bool"]
  6851     where "partial_order.less (op <=) (x::int) y = (x < y)"
  6852 
  6853 Typically, the constant `partial_order.less' is created by a
  6854 definition specification element in the context of locale
  6855 partial_order.
  6856 
  6857 * Method "induct": improved internal context management to support
  6858 local fixes and defines on-the-fly. Thus explicit meta-level
  6859 connectives !!  and ==> are rarely required anymore in inductive goals
  6860 (using object-logic connectives for this purpose has been long
  6861 obsolete anyway). Common proof patterns are explained in
  6862 src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, see also
  6863 src/HOL/Isar_examples/Puzzle.thy and src/HOL/Lambda for realistic
  6864 examples.
  6865 
  6866 * Method "induct": improved handling of simultaneous goals. Instead of
  6867 introducing object-level conjunction, the statement is now split into
  6868 several conclusions, while the corresponding symbolic cases are nested
  6869 accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY, proofs need to be structured explicitly,
  6870 see src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, for example.
  6871 
  6872 * Method "induct": mutual induction rules are now specified as a list
  6873 of rule sharing the same induction cases. HOL packages usually provide
  6874 foo_bar.inducts for mutually defined items foo and bar (e.g. inductive
  6875 predicates/sets or datatypes). INCOMPATIBILITY, users need to specify
  6876 mutual induction rules differently, i.e. like this:
  6877 
  6878   (induct rule: foo_bar.inducts)
  6879   (induct set: foo bar)
  6880   (induct pred: foo bar)
  6881   (induct type: foo bar)
  6882 
  6883 The ML function ProjectRule.projections turns old-style rules into the
  6884 new format.
  6885 
  6886 * Method "coinduct": dual of induction, see
  6887 src/HOL/Library/Coinductive_List.thy for various examples.
  6888 
  6889 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": the ``(open)'' option is
  6890 considered a legacy feature.
  6891 
  6892 * Attribute "symmetric" produces result with standardized schematic
  6893 variables (index 0).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6894 
  6895 * Simplifier: by default the simplifier trace only shows top level
  6896 rewrites now. That is, trace_simp_depth_limit is set to 1 by
  6897 default. Thus there is less danger of being flooded by the trace. The
  6898 trace indicates where parts have been suppressed.
  6899   
  6900 * Provers/classical: removed obsolete classical version of elim_format
  6901 attribute; classical elim/dest rules are now treated uniformly when
  6902 manipulating the claset.
  6903 
  6904 * Provers/classical: stricter checks to ensure that supplied intro,
  6905 dest and elim rules are well-formed; dest and elim rules must have at
  6906 least one premise.
  6907 
  6908 * Provers/classical: attributes dest/elim/intro take an optional
  6909 weight argument for the rule (just as the Pure versions).  Weights are
  6910 ignored by automated tools, but determine the search order of single
  6911 rule steps.
  6912 
  6913 * Syntax: input syntax now supports dummy variable binding "%_. b",
  6914 where the body does not mention the bound variable.  Note that dummy
  6915 patterns implicitly depend on their context of bounds, which makes
  6916 "{_. _}" match any set comprehension as expected.  Potential
  6917 INCOMPATIBILITY -- parse translations need to cope with syntactic
  6918 constant "_idtdummy" in the binding position.
  6919 
  6920 * Syntax: removed obsolete syntactic constant "_K" and its associated
  6921 parse translation.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- use dummy abstraction instead,
  6922 for example "A -> B" => "Pi A (%_. B)".
  6923 
  6924 * Pure: 'class_deps' command visualizes the subclass relation, using
  6925 the graph browser tool.
  6926 
  6927 * Pure: 'print_theory' now suppresses certain internal declarations by
  6928 default; use '!' option for full details.
  6929 
  6930 
  6931 *** HOL ***
  6932 
  6933 * Method "metis" proves goals by applying the Metis general-purpose
  6934 resolution prover (see also http://gilith.com/software/metis/).
  6935 Examples are in the directory MetisExamples.  WARNING: the
  6936 Isabelle/HOL-Metis integration does not yet work properly with
  6937 multi-threading.
  6938   
  6939 * Command 'sledgehammer' invokes external automatic theorem provers as
  6940 background processes.  It generates calls to the "metis" method if
  6941 successful. These can be pasted into the proof.  Users do not have to
  6942 wait for the automatic provers to return.  WARNING: does not really
  6943 work with multi-threading.
  6944 
  6945 * New "auto_quickcheck" feature tests outermost goal statements for
  6946 potential counter-examples.  Controlled by ML references
  6947 auto_quickcheck (default true) and auto_quickcheck_time_limit (default
  6948 5000 milliseconds).  Fails silently if statements is outside of
  6949 executable fragment, or any other codgenerator problem occurs.
  6950 
  6951 * New constant "undefined" with axiom "undefined x = undefined".
  6952 
  6953 * Added class "HOL.eq", allowing for code generation with polymorphic
  6954 equality.
  6955 
  6956 * Some renaming of class constants due to canonical name prefixing in
  6957 the new 'class' package:
  6958 
  6959     HOL.abs ~> HOL.abs_class.abs
  6960     HOL.divide ~> HOL.divide_class.divide
  6961     0 ~> HOL.zero_class.zero
  6962     1 ~> HOL.one_class.one
  6963     op + ~> HOL.plus_class.plus
  6964     op - ~> HOL.minus_class.minus
  6965     uminus ~> HOL.minus_class.uminus
  6966     op * ~> HOL.times_class.times
  6967     op < ~> HOL.ord_class.less

  6976     Divides.op div ~> Divides.div_class.div
  6977     Divides.op mod ~> Divides.div_class.mod
  6978     Divides.op dvd ~> Divides.div_class.dvd
  6979 
  6980 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Adaptions may be required in the following cases:
  6981 
  6982 a) User-defined constants using any of the names "plus", "minus",
  6983 "times", "less" or "less_eq". The standard syntax translations for
  6984 "+", "-" and "*" may go wrong.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific
  6985 names.
  6986 
  6987 b) Variables named "plus", "minus", "times", "less", "less_eq"
  6988 INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific names.
  6989 
  6990 c) Permutative equations (e.g. "a + b = b + a")
  6991 Since the change of names also changes the order of terms, permutative
  6992 rewrite rules may get applied in a different order. Experience shows
  6993 that this is rarely the case (only two adaptions in the whole Isabelle
  6994 distribution).  INCOMPATIBILITY: rewrite proofs
  6995 
  6996 d) ML code directly refering to constant names
  6997 This in general only affects hand-written proof tactics, simprocs and
  6998 so on.  INCOMPATIBILITY: grep your sourcecode and replace names.
  6999 Consider using @{const_name} antiquotation.
  7000 
  7001 * New class "default" with associated constant "default".
  7002 
  7003 * Function "sgn" is now overloaded and available on int, real, complex
  7004 (and other numeric types), using class "sgn".  Two possible defs of
  7005 sgn are given as equational assumptions in the classes sgn_if and
  7006 sgn_div_norm; ordered_idom now also inherits from sgn_if.
  7007 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7008 
  7009 * Locale "partial_order" now unified with class "order" (cf. theory
  7010 Orderings), added parameter "less".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7011 
  7012 * Renamings in classes "order" and "linorder": facts "refl", "trans" and
  7013 "cases" to "order_refl", "order_trans" and "linorder_cases", to avoid
  7014 clashes with HOL "refl" and "trans".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7015 
  7016 * Classes "order" and "linorder": potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to
  7017 changed order of proof goals in instance proofs.
  7018 
  7019 * The transitivity reasoner for partial and linear orders is set up
  7020 for classes "order" and "linorder".  Instances of the reasoner are available
  7021 in all contexts importing or interpreting the corresponding locales.
  7022 Method "order" invokes the reasoner separately; the reasoner
  7023 is also integrated with the Simplifier as a solver.  Diagnostic
  7024 command 'print_orders' shows the available instances of the reasoner
  7025 in the current context.
  7026 
  7027 * Localized monotonicity predicate in theory "Orderings"; integrated
  7028 lemmas max_of_mono and min_of_mono with this predicate.
  7029 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7030 
  7031 * Formulation of theorem "dense" changed slightly due to integration
  7032 with new class dense_linear_order.
  7033 
  7034 * Uniform lattice theory development in HOL.
  7035 
  7036     constants "meet" and "join" now named "inf" and "sup"
  7037     constant "Meet" now named "Inf"
  7038 
  7039     classes "meet_semilorder" and "join_semilorder" now named
  7040       "lower_semilattice" and "upper_semilattice"
  7041     class "lorder" now named "lattice"
  7042     class "comp_lat" now named "complete_lattice"
  7043 
  7044     Instantiation of lattice classes allows explicit definitions
  7045     for "inf" and "sup" operations (or "Inf" and "Sup" for complete lattices).
  7046 
  7047   INCOMPATIBILITY.  Theorem renames:

  7149 
  7150 * Added syntactic class "size"; overloaded constant "size" now has
  7151 type "'a::size ==> bool"
  7152 
  7153 * Internal reorganisation of `size' of datatypes: size theorems
  7154 "foo.size" are no longer subsumed by "foo.simps" (but are still
  7155 simplification rules by default!); theorems "prod.size" now named
  7156 "*.size".
  7157 
  7158 * Class "div" now inherits from class "times" rather than "type".
  7159 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7160 
  7161 * HOL/Finite_Set: "name-space" locales Lattice, Distrib_lattice,
  7162 Linorder etc.  have disappeared; operations defined in terms of
  7163 fold_set now are named Inf_fin, Sup_fin.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7164 
  7165 * HOL/Nat: neq0_conv no longer declared as iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7166 
  7167 * HOL-Word: New extensive library and type for generic, fixed size
  7168 machine words, with arithmetic, bit-wise, shifting and rotating
  7169 operations, reflection into int, nat, and bool lists, automation for
  7170 linear arithmetic (by automatic reflection into nat or int), including
  7171 lemmas on overflow and monotonicity.  Instantiated to all appropriate
  7172 arithmetic type classes, supporting automatic simplification of
  7173 numerals on all operations.
  7174 
  7175 * Library/Boolean_Algebra: locales for abstract boolean algebras.
  7176 
  7177 * Library/Numeral_Type: numbers as types, e.g. TYPE(32).
  7178 
  7179 * Code generator library theories:
  7180   - Code_Integer represents HOL integers by big integer literals in target
  7181     languages.
  7182   - Code_Char represents HOL characters by character literals in target
  7183     languages.
  7184   - Code_Char_chr like Code_Char, but also offers treatment of character
  7185     codes; includes Code_Integer.
  7186   - Executable_Set allows to generate code for finite sets using lists.
  7187   - Executable_Rat implements rational numbers as triples (sign, enumerator,
  7188     denominator).
  7189   - Executable_Real implements a subset of real numbers, namly those
  7190     representable by rational numbers.
  7191   - Efficient_Nat implements natural numbers by integers, which in general will
  7192     result in higher efficency; pattern matching with 0/Suc is eliminated;
  7193     includes Code_Integer.
  7194   - Code_Index provides an additional datatype index which is mapped to
  7195     target-language built-in integers.
  7196   - Code_Message provides an additional datatype message_string which is isomorphic to
  7197     strings; messages are mapped to target-language strings.
  7198 
  7199 * New package for inductive predicates
  7200 
  7201   An n-ary predicate p with m parameters z_1, ..., z_m can now be defined via
  7202 
  7203     inductive
  7204       p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7205       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7206     where
  7207       rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  7208     | ...
  7209 
  7210   with full support for type-inference, rather than
  7211 
  7212     consts s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7213 
  7214     abbreviation p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7215     where "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7216 
  7217     inductive "s z_1 ... z_m"
  7218     intros
  7219       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7220       ...
  7221 
  7222   For backward compatibility, there is a wrapper allowing inductive
  7223   sets to be defined with the new package via
  7224 
  7225     inductive_set
  7226       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7227       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7228     where
  7229       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7230     | ...
  7231 
  7232   or
  7233 
  7234     inductive_set
  7235       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7236       and p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7237       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7238     where
  7239       "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7240     | rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  7241     | ...
  7242 
  7243   if the additional syntax "p ..." is required.
  7244 
  7245   Numerous examples can be found in the subdirectories src/HOL/Auth,
  7246   src/HOL/Bali, src/HOL/Induct, and src/HOL/MicroJava.
  7247 
  7248   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  7249 
  7250   - Since declaration and definition of inductive sets or predicates
  7251     is no longer separated, abbreviations involving the newly
  7252     introduced sets or predicates must be specified together with the
  7253     introduction rules after the 'where' keyword (see above), rather
  7254     than before the actual inductive definition.
  7255 
  7256   - The variables in induction and elimination rules are now
  7257     quantified in the order of their occurrence in the introduction
  7258     rules, rather than in alphabetical order. Since this may break
  7259     some proofs, these proofs either have to be repaired, e.g. by
  7260     reordering the variables a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i} in Isar 'case'
  7261     statements of the form
  7262 
  7263       case (rule_i a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i})
  7264 
  7265     or the old order of quantification has to be restored by explicitly adding
  7266     meta-level quantifiers in the introduction rules, i.e.
  7267 
  7268       | rule_i: "!!a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i}. ... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_i_1 ... t_i_n"
  7269 
  7270   - The format of the elimination rules is now
  7271 
  7272       p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n ==>
  7273         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  7274         ==> ... ==> P
  7275 
  7276     for predicates and
  7277 
  7278       (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  7279         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  7280         ==> ... ==> P
  7281 
  7282     for sets rather than
  7283 
  7284       x : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  7285         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x = (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) ==> ... ==> P)
  7286         ==> ... ==> P
  7287 
  7288     This may require terms in goals to be expanded to n-tuples
  7289     (e.g. using case_tac or simplification with the split_paired_all
  7290     rule) before the above elimination rule is applicable.
  7291 
  7292   - The elimination or case analysis rules for (mutually) inductive
  7293     sets or predicates are now called "p_1.cases" ... "p_k.cases". The
  7294     list of rules "p_1_..._p_k.elims" is no longer available.
  7295 
  7296 * New package "function"/"fun" for general recursive functions,
  7297 supporting mutual and nested recursion, definitions in local contexts,
  7298 more general pattern matching and partiality. See HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy
  7299 for small examples, and the separate tutorial on the function
  7300 package. The old recdef "package" is still available as before, but
  7301 users are encouraged to use the new package.
  7302 
  7303 * Method "lexicographic_order" automatically synthesizes termination
  7304 relations as lexicographic combinations of size measures. 
  7305 
  7306 * Case-expressions allow arbitrary constructor-patterns (including
  7307 "_") and take their order into account, like in functional
  7308 programming.  Internally, this is translated into nested
  7309 case-expressions; missing cases are added and mapped to the predefined
  7310 constant "undefined". In complicated cases printing may no longer show
  7311 the original input but the internal form. Lambda-abstractions allow
  7312 the same form of pattern matching: "% pat1 => e1 | ..." is an
  7313 abbreviation for "%x. case x of pat1 => e1 | ..." where x is a new
  7314 variable.
  7315 
  7316 * IntDef: The constant "int :: nat => int" has been removed; now "int"
  7317 is an abbreviation for "of_nat :: nat => int". The simplification
  7318 rules for "of_nat" have been changed to work like "int" did
  7319 previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  7320   - "of_nat (Suc m)" simplifies to "1 + of_nat m" instead of "of_nat m + 1"
  7321   - of_nat_diff and of_nat_mult are no longer default simp rules
  7322 
  7323 * Method "algebra" solves polynomial equations over (semi)rings using
  7324 Groebner bases. The (semi)ring structure is defined by locales and the
  7325 tool setup depends on that generic context. Installing the method for
  7326 a specific type involves instantiating the locale and possibly adding
  7327 declarations for computation on the coefficients.  The method is
  7328 already instantiated for natural numbers and for the axiomatic class
  7329 of idoms with numerals.  See also the paper by Chaieb and Wenzel at
  7330 CALCULEMUS 2007 for the general principles underlying this
  7331 architecture of context-aware proof-tools.
  7332 
  7333 * Method "ferrack" implements quantifier elimination over
  7334 special-purpose dense linear orders using locales (analogous to
  7335 "algebra"). The method is already installed for class
  7336 {ordered_field,recpower,number_ring} which subsumes real, hyperreal,
  7337 rat, etc.
  7338 
  7339 * Former constant "List.op @" now named "List.append".  Use ML
  7340 antiquotations @{const_name List.append} or @{term " ... @ ... "} to
  7341 circumvent possible incompatibilities when working on ML level.
  7342 
  7343 * primrec: missing cases mapped to "undefined" instead of "arbitrary".
  7344 
  7345 * New function listsum :: 'a list => 'a for arbitrary monoids.
  7346 Special syntax: "SUM x <- xs. f x" (and latex variants)
  7347 
  7348 * New syntax for Haskell-like list comprehension (input only), eg.
  7349 [(x,y). x <- xs, y <- ys, x ~= y], see also src/HOL/List.thy.
  7350 
  7351 * The special syntax for function "filter" has changed from [x :
  7352 xs. P] to [x <- xs. P] to avoid an ambiguity caused by list
  7353 comprehension syntax, and for uniformity.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7354 
  7355 * [a..b] is now defined for arbitrary linear orders.  It used to be
  7356 defined on nat only, as an abbreviation for [a..<Suc b]
  7357 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7358 
  7359 * Renamed lemma "set_take_whileD"  to "set_takeWhileD".
  7360 
  7361 * New functions "sorted" and "sort" in src/HOL/List.thy.
  7362 
  7363 * New lemma collection field_simps (an extension of ring_simps) for
  7364 manipulating (in)equations involving division. Multiplies with all
  7365 denominators that can be proved to be non-zero (in equations) or
  7366 positive/negative (in inequations).
  7367 
  7368 * Lemma collections ring_eq_simps, group_eq_simps and ring_distrib
  7369 have been improved and renamed to ring_simps, group_simps and
  7370 ring_distribs.  Removed lemmas field_xyz in theory Ring_and_Field
  7371 because they were subsumed by lemmas xyz.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7372 
  7373 * Theory Library/Commutative_Ring: switched from recdef to function
  7374 package; constants add, mul, pow now curried.  Infix syntax for
  7375 algebraic operations.
  7376 
  7377 * Dropped redundant lemma def_imp_eq in favor of meta_eq_to_obj_eq.
  7378 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7379 
  7380 * Dropped redundant lemma if_def2 in favor of if_bool_eq_conj.
  7381 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7382 
  7383 * HOL/records: generalised field-update to take a function on the
  7384 field rather than the new value: r(|A := x|) is translated to A_update
  7385 (K x) r The K-combinator that is internally used is called K_record.
  7386 INCOMPATIBILITY: Usage of the plain update functions has to be
  7387 adapted.
  7388  
  7389 * Class "semiring_0" now contains annihilation axioms x * 0 = 0 and 0
  7390 * x = 0, which are required for a semiring.  Richer structures do not
  7391 inherit from semiring_0 anymore, because this property is a theorem
  7392 there, not an axiom.  INCOMPATIBILITY: In instances of semiring_0,
  7393 there is more to prove, but this is mostly trivial.
  7394 
  7395 * Class "recpower" is generalized to arbitrary monoids, not just
  7396 commutative semirings.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to incorporate
  7397 commutativity or semiring properties additionally.
  7398 
  7399 * Constant "List.list_all2" in List.thy now uses authentic syntax.
  7400 INCOMPATIBILITY: translations containing list_all2 may go wrong,
  7401 better use 'abbreviation'.
  7402 
  7403 * Renamed constant "List.op mem" to "List.member".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7404 
  7405 * Numeral syntax: type 'bin' which was a mere type copy of 'int' has
  7406 been abandoned in favour of plain 'int'.  INCOMPATIBILITY --
  7407 significant changes for setting up numeral syntax for types:
  7408   - New constants Numeral.pred and Numeral.succ instead
  7409       of former Numeral.bin_pred and Numeral.bin_succ.
  7410   - Use integer operations instead of bin_add, bin_mult and so on.
  7411   - Numeral simplification theorems named Numeral.numeral_simps instead of Bin_simps.
  7412   - ML structure Bin_Simprocs now named Int_Numeral_Base_Simprocs.
  7413 
  7414 See src/HOL/Integ/IntArith.thy for an example setup.
  7415 
  7416 * Command 'normal_form' computes the normal form of a term that may
  7417 contain free variables.  For example ``normal_form "rev [a, b, c]"''
  7418 produces ``[b, c, a]'' (without proof).  This command is suitable for
  7419 heavy-duty computations because the functions are compiled to ML
  7420 first.  Correspondingly, a method "normalization" is provided.  See
  7421 further src/HOL/ex/NormalForm.thy and src/Tools/nbe.ML.
  7422 
  7423 * Alternative iff syntax "A <-> B" for equality on bool (with priority
  7424 25 like -->); output depends on the "iff" print_mode, the default is
  7425 "A = B" (with priority 50).
  7426 
  7427 * Relations less (<) and less_eq (<=) are also available on type bool.
  7428 Modified syntax to disallow nesting without explicit parentheses,
  7429 e.g. "(x < y) < z" or "x < (y < z)", but NOT "x < y < z".  Potential
  7430 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7431 
  7432 * "LEAST x:A. P" expands to "LEAST x. x:A & P" (input only).
  7433 
  7434 * Relation composition operator "op O" now has precedence 75 and binds
  7435 stronger than union and intersection. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7436 
  7437 * The old set interval syntax "{m..n(}" (and relatives) has been
  7438 removed.  Use "{m..<n}" (and relatives) instead.
  7439 
  7440 * In the context of the assumption "~(s = t)" the Simplifier rewrites
  7441 "t = s" to False (by simproc "neq").  INCOMPATIBILITY, consider using
  7442 ``declare [[simproc del: neq]]''.
  7443 
  7444 * Simplifier: "m dvd n" where m and n are numbers is evaluated to
  7445 True/False.
  7446 
  7447 * Theorem Cons_eq_map_conv no longer declared as "simp".
  7448 
  7449 * Theorem setsum_mult renamed to setsum_right_distrib.
  7450 
  7451 * Prefer ex1I over ex_ex1I in single-step reasoning, e.g. by the
  7452 ``rule'' method.
  7453 
  7454 * Reimplemented methods "sat" and "satx", with several improvements:
  7455 goals no longer need to be stated as "<prems> ==> False", equivalences
  7456 (i.e. "=" on type bool) are handled, variable names of the form
  7457 "lit_<n>" are no longer reserved, significant speedup.
  7458 
  7459 * Methods "sat" and "satx" can now replay MiniSat proof traces.
  7460 zChaff is still supported as well.
  7461 
  7462 * 'inductive' and 'datatype': provide projections of mutual rules,
  7463 bundled as foo_bar.inducts;
  7464 
  7465 * Library: moved theories Parity, GCD, Binomial, Infinite_Set to
  7466 Library.
  7467 
  7468 * Library: moved theory Accessible_Part to main HOL.
  7469 
  7470 * Library: added theory Coinductive_List of potentially infinite lists
  7471 as greatest fixed-point.
  7472 
  7473 * Library: added theory AssocList which implements (finite) maps as
  7474 association lists.
  7475 
  7476 * Method "evaluation" solves goals (i.e. a boolean expression)
  7477 efficiently by compiling it to ML.  The goal is "proved" (via an
  7478 oracle) if it evaluates to True.
  7479 
  7480 * Linear arithmetic now splits certain operators (e.g. min, max, abs)
  7481 also when invoked by the simplifier.  This results in the Simplifier
  7482 being more powerful on arithmetic goals.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7483 Configuration option fast_arith_split_limit=0 recovers the old
  7484 behavior.
  7485 
  7486 * Support for hex (0x20) and binary (0b1001) numerals.
  7487 
  7488 * New method: reify eqs (t), where eqs are equations for an
  7489 interpretation I :: 'a list => 'b => 'c and t::'c is an optional
  7490 parameter, computes a term s::'b and a list xs::'a list and proves the
  7491 theorem I xs s = t. This is also known as reification or quoting. The
  7492 resulting theorem is applied to the subgoal to substitute t with I xs
  7493 s.  If t is omitted, the subgoal itself is reified.
  7494 
  7495 * New method: reflection corr_thm eqs (t). The parameters eqs and (t)
  7496 are as explained above. corr_thm is a theorem for I vs (f t) = I vs t,
  7497 where f is supposed to be a computable function (in the sense of code
  7498 generattion). The method uses reify to compute s and xs as above then
  7499 applies corr_thm and uses normalization by evaluation to "prove" f s =
  7500 r and finally gets the theorem t = r, which is again applied to the
  7501 subgoal. An Example is available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy.
  7502 
  7503 * Reflection: Automatic reification now handels binding, an example is
  7504 available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy
  7505 
  7506 * HOL-Statespace: ``State Spaces: The Locale Way'' introduces a
  7507 command 'statespace' that is similar to 'record', but introduces an
  7508 abstract specification based on the locale infrastructure instead of
  7509 HOL types.  This leads to extra flexibility in composing state spaces,
  7510 in particular multiple inheritance and renaming of components.
  7511 
  7512 
  7513 *** HOL-Complex ***
  7514 
  7515 * Hyperreal: Functions root and sqrt are now defined on negative real
  7516 inputs so that root n (- x) = - root n x and sqrt (- x) = - sqrt x.
  7517 Nonnegativity side conditions have been removed from many lemmas, so
  7518 that more subgoals may now be solved by simplification; potential
  7519 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7520 
  7521 * Real: new type classes formalize real normed vector spaces and
  7522 algebras, using new overloaded constants scaleR :: real => 'a => 'a
  7523 and norm :: 'a => real.
  7524 
  7525 * Real: constant of_real :: real => 'a::real_algebra_1 injects from
  7526 reals into other types. The overloaded constant Reals :: 'a set is now
  7527 defined as range of_real; potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7528 
  7529 * Real: proper support for ML code generation, including 'quickcheck'.
  7530 Reals are implemented as arbitrary precision rationals.
  7531 
  7532 * Hyperreal: Several constants that previously worked only for the
  7533 reals have been generalized, so they now work over arbitrary vector
  7534 spaces. Type annotations may need to be added in some cases; potential
  7535 INCOMPATIBILITY.

  7551   exp            :: 'a::{recpower,real_normed_field,banach} => 'a
  7552 
  7553 * Complex: Some complex-specific constants are now abbreviations for
  7554 overloaded ones: complex_of_real = of_real, cmod = norm, hcmod =
  7555 hnorm.  Other constants have been entirely removed in favor of the
  7556 polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7557

  7559   HFinite       <-- CFinite
  7560   HInfinite     <-- CInfinite

  7562   monad         <-- cmonad
  7563   galaxy        <-- cgalaxy

  7565   is(NS)Cont    <-- is(NS)Contc, is(NS)contCR
  7566   (ns)deriv     <-- (ns)cderiv
  7567 
  7568 
  7569 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  7570 
  7571 * Formalisation of ideals and the quotient construction over rings.
  7572 
  7573 * Order and lattice theory no longer based on records.
  7574 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7575 
  7576 * Renamed lemmas least_carrier -> least_closed and greatest_carrier ->
  7577 greatest_closed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7578 
  7579 * Method algebra is now set up via an attribute.  For examples see
  7580 Ring.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY: the method is now weaker on combinations
  7581 of algebraic structures.
  7582 
  7583 * Renamed theory CRing to Ring.
  7584 
  7585 
  7586 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  7587 
  7588 * Substantial, yet incomplete support for nominal datatypes (binding
  7589 structures) based on HOL-Nominal logic.  See src/HOL/Nominal and
  7590 src/HOL/Nominal/Examples.  Prospective users should consult
  7591 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/nominal/
  7592 
  7593 
  7594 *** ML ***
  7595 
  7596 * ML basics: just one true type int, which coincides with IntInf.int
  7597 (even on SML/NJ).
  7598 
  7599 * ML within Isar: antiquotations allow to embed statically-checked
  7600 formal entities in the source, referring to the context available at
  7601 compile-time.  For example:
  7602 
  7603 ML {* @{sort "{zero,one}"} *}
  7604 ML {* @{typ "'a => 'b"} *}
  7605 ML {* @{term "%x. x"} *}
  7606 ML {* @{prop "x == y"} *}
  7607 ML {* @{ctyp "'a => 'b"} *}
  7608 ML {* @{cterm "%x. x"} *}
  7609 ML {* @{cprop "x == y"} *}
  7610 ML {* @{thm asm_rl} *}
  7611 ML {* @{thms asm_rl} *}
  7612 ML {* @{type_name c} *}
  7613 ML {* @{type_syntax c} *}
  7614 ML {* @{const_name c} *}
  7615 ML {* @{const_syntax c} *}
  7616 ML {* @{context} *}
  7617 ML {* @{theory} *}
  7618 ML {* @{theory Pure} *}
  7619 ML {* @{theory_ref} *}
  7620 ML {* @{theory_ref Pure} *}
  7621 ML {* @{simpset} *}
  7622 ML {* @{claset} *}
  7623 ML {* @{clasimpset} *}
  7624 
  7625 The same works for sources being ``used'' within an Isar context.
  7626 
  7627 * ML in Isar: improved error reporting; extra verbosity with
  7628 ML_Context.trace enabled.
  7629 
  7630 * Pure/General/table.ML: the join operations now works via exceptions
  7631 DUP/SAME instead of type option. This is simpler in simple cases, and
  7632 admits slightly more efficient complex applications.
  7633 
  7634 * Pure: 'advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) now
  7635 use Context.generic instead of just theory.
  7636 
  7637 * Pure: datatype Context.generic joins theory/Proof.context and
  7638 provides some facilities for code that works in either kind of
  7639 context, notably GenericDataFun for uniform theory and proof data.
  7640 
  7641 * Pure: simplified internal attribute type, which is now always
  7642 Context.generic * thm -> Context.generic * thm. Global (theory) vs.
  7643 local (Proof.context) attributes have been discontinued, while
  7644 minimizing code duplication. Thm.rule_attribute and
  7645 Thm.declaration_attribute build canonical attributes; see also structure
  7646 Context for further operations on Context.generic, notably
  7647 GenericDataFun. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt attribute type
  7648 declarations and definitions.
  7649 
  7650 * Context data interfaces (Theory/Proof/GenericDataFun): removed
  7651 name/print, uninitialized data defaults to ad-hoc copy of empty value,
  7652 init only required for impure data. INCOMPATIBILITY: empty really need
  7653 to be empty (no dependencies on theory content!)
  7654 
  7655 * Pure/kernel: consts certification ignores sort constraints given in
  7656 signature declarations. (This information is not relevant to the
  7657 logic, but only for type inference.) SIGNIFICANT INTERNAL CHANGE,
  7658 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7659 
  7660 * Pure: axiomatic type classes are now purely definitional, with
  7661 explicit proofs of class axioms and super class relations performed
  7662 internally. See Pure/axclass.ML for the main internal interfaces --
  7663 notably AxClass.define_class supercedes AxClass.add_axclass, and
  7664 AxClass.axiomatize_class/classrel/arity supersede
  7665 Sign.add_classes/classrel/arities.
  7666 
  7667 * Pure/Isar: Args/Attrib parsers operate on Context.generic --
  7668 global/local versions on theory vs. Proof.context have been
  7669 discontinued; Attrib.syntax and Method.syntax have been adapted
  7670 accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt parser expressions for
  7671 attributes, methods, etc.
  7672 
  7673 * Pure: several functions of signature "... -> theory -> theory * ..."
  7674 have been reoriented to "... -> theory -> ... * theory" in order to
  7675 allow natural usage in combination with the ||>, ||>>, |-> and
  7676 fold_map combinators.
  7677 
  7678 * Pure: official theorem names (closed derivations) and additional
  7679 comments (tags) are now strictly separate.  Name hints -- which are
  7680 maintained as tags -- may be attached any time without affecting the
  7681 derivation.
  7682 
  7683 * Pure: primitive rule lift_rule now takes goal cterm instead of an
  7684 actual goal state (thm).  Use Thm.lift_rule (Thm.cprem_of st i) to
  7685 achieve the old behaviour.
  7686 
  7687 * Pure: the "Goal" constant is now called "prop", supporting a
  7688 slightly more general idea of ``protecting'' meta-level rule
  7689 statements.
  7690 
  7691 * Pure: Logic.(un)varify only works in a global context, which is now
  7692 enforced instead of silently assumed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use
  7693 Logic.legacy_(un)varify as temporary workaround.
  7694 
  7695 * Pure: structure Name provides scalable operations for generating
  7696 internal variable names, notably Name.variants etc.  This replaces
  7697 some popular functions from term.ML:
  7698 
  7699   Term.variant		->  Name.variant
  7700   Term.variantlist	->  Name.variant_list
  7701   Term.invent_names	->  Name.invent_list
  7702 
  7703 Note that low-level renaming rarely occurs in new code -- operations
  7704 from structure Variable are used instead (see below).
  7705 
  7706 * Pure: structure Variable provides fundamental operations for proper
  7707 treatment of fixed/schematic variables in a context.  For example,
  7708 Variable.import introduces fixes for schematics of given facts and
  7709 Variable.export reverses the effect (up to renaming) -- this replaces
  7710 various freeze_thaw operations.
  7711 
  7712 * Pure: structure Goal provides simple interfaces for
  7713 init/conclude/finish and tactical prove operations (replacing former
  7714 Tactic.prove).  Goal.prove is the canonical way to prove results
  7715 within a given context; Goal.prove_global is a degraded version for
  7716 theory level goals, including a global Drule.standard.  Note that
  7717 OldGoals.prove_goalw_cterm has long been obsolete, since it is
  7718 ill-behaved in a local proof context (e.g. with local fixes/assumes or
  7719 in a locale context).
  7720 
  7721 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for parsing (Syntax.parse_term etc.)
  7722 and type checking (Syntax.check_term etc.), with common combinations
  7723 (Syntax.read_term etc.). These supersede former Sign.read_term etc.
  7724 which are considered legacy and await removal.
  7725 
  7726 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for type unchecking
  7727 (Syntax.uncheck_terms etc.) and unparsing (Syntax.unparse_term etc.),
  7728 with common combinations (Syntax.pretty_term, Syntax.string_of_term
  7729 etc.).  Former Sign.pretty_term, Sign.string_of_term etc. are still
  7730 available for convenience, but refer to the very same operations using
  7731 a mere theory instead of a full context.
  7732 
  7733 * Isar: simplified treatment of user-level errors, using exception
  7734 ERROR of string uniformly.  Function error now merely raises ERROR,
  7735 without any side effect on output channels.  The Isar toplevel takes
  7736 care of proper display of ERROR exceptions.  ML code may use plain
  7737 handle/can/try; cat_error may be used to concatenate errors like this:
  7738 
  7739   ... handle ERROR msg => cat_error msg "..."
  7740 
  7741 Toplevel ML code (run directly or through the Isar toplevel) may be
  7742 embedded into the Isar toplevel with exception display/debug like
  7743 this:
  7744 
  7745   Isar.toplevel (fn () => ...)
  7746 
  7747 INCOMPATIBILITY, removed special transform_error facilities, removed
  7748 obsolete variants of user-level exceptions (ERROR_MESSAGE,
  7749 Context.PROOF, ProofContext.CONTEXT, Proof.STATE, ProofHistory.FAIL)
  7750 -- use plain ERROR instead.
  7751 
  7752 * Isar: theory setup now has type (theory -> theory), instead of a
  7753 list.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use #> to compose setup functions.
  7754 
  7755 * Isar: ML toplevel pretty printer for type Proof.context, subject to
  7756 ProofContext.debug/verbose flags.
  7757 
  7758 * Isar: Toplevel.theory_to_proof admits transactions that modify the
  7759 theory before entering a proof state.  Transactions now always see a
  7760 quasi-functional intermediate checkpoint, both in interactive and
  7761 batch mode.
  7762 
  7763 * Isar: simplified interfaces for outer syntax.  Renamed
  7764 OuterSyntax.add_keywords to OuterSyntax.keywords.  Removed
  7765 OuterSyntax.add_parsers -- this functionality is now included in
  7766 OuterSyntax.command etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7767 
  7768 * Simplifier: the simpset of a running simplification process now
  7769 contains a proof context (cf. Simplifier.the_context), which is the
  7770 very context that the initial simpset has been retrieved from (by
  7771 simpset_of/local_simpset_of).  Consequently, all plug-in components
  7772 (solver, looper etc.) may depend on arbitrary proof data.
  7773 
  7774 * Simplifier.inherit_context inherits the proof context (plus the
  7775 local bounds) of the current simplification process; any simproc
  7776 etc. that calls the Simplifier recursively should do this!  Removed
  7777 former Simplifier.inherit_bounds, which is already included here --
  7778 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Tools based on low-level rewriting may even have to
  7779 specify an explicit context using Simplifier.context/theory_context.
  7780 
  7781 * Simplifier/Classical Reasoner: more abstract interfaces
  7782 change_simpset/claset for modifying the simpset/claset reference of a
  7783 theory; raw versions simpset/claset_ref etc. have been discontinued --
  7784 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7785 
  7786 * Provers: more generic wrt. syntax of object-logics, avoid hardwired
  7787 "Trueprop" etc.
  7788 
  7789 
  7790 *** System ***
  7791 
  7792 * settings: the default heap location within ISABELLE_HOME_USER now
  7793 includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER.  This simplifies use of multiple
  7794 Isabelle installations.
  7795 
  7796 * isabelle-process: option -S (secure mode) disables some critical
  7797 operations, notably runtime compilation and evaluation of ML source
  7798 code.
  7799 
  7800 * Basic Isabelle mode for jEdit, see Isabelle/lib/jedit/.
  7801 
  7802 * Support for parallel execution, using native multicore support of
  7803 Poly/ML 5.1.  The theory loader exploits parallelism when processing
  7804 independent theories, according to the given theory header
  7805 specifications. The maximum number of worker threads is specified via
  7806 usedir option -M or the "max-threads" setting in Proof General. A
  7807 speedup factor of 1.5--3.5 can be expected on a 4-core machine, and up
  7808 to 6 on a 8-core machine.  User-code needs to observe certain
  7809 guidelines for thread-safe programming, see appendix A in the Isar
  7810 Implementation manual.
  7811 
  7812 
  7813 
  7814 New in Isabelle2005 (October 2005)
  7815 ----------------------------------
  7816 
  7817 *** General ***
  7818 
  7819 * Theory headers: the new header syntax for Isar theories is
  7820 
  7821   theory <name>
  7822   imports <theory1> ... <theoryN>
  7823   uses <file1> ... <fileM>
  7824   begin
  7825 
  7826 where the 'uses' part is optional.  The previous syntax
  7827 
  7828   theory <name> = <theory1> + ... + <theoryN>:
  7829 
  7830 will disappear in the next release.  Use isatool fixheaders to convert
  7831 existing theory files.  Note that there is no change in ancient
  7832 non-Isar theories now, but these will disappear soon.
  7833 
  7834 * Theory loader: parent theories can now also be referred to via
  7835 relative and absolute paths.
  7836 
  7837 * Command 'find_theorems' searches for a list of criteria instead of a
  7838 list of constants. Known criteria are: intro, elim, dest, name:string,
  7839 simp:term, and any term. Criteria can be preceded by '-' to select
  7840 theorems that do not match. Intro, elim, dest select theorems that
  7841 match the current goal, name:s selects theorems whose fully qualified
  7842 name contain s, and simp:term selects all simplification rules whose
  7843 lhs match term.  Any other term is interpreted as pattern and selects
  7844 all theorems matching the pattern. Available in ProofGeneral under
  7845 'ProofGeneral -> Find Theorems' or C-c C-f.  Example:
  7846 
  7847   C-c C-f (100) "(_::nat) + _ + _" intro -name: "HOL."
  7848 
  7849 prints the last 100 theorems matching the pattern "(_::nat) + _ + _",
  7850 matching the current goal as introduction rule and not having "HOL."
  7851 in their name (i.e. not being defined in theory HOL).
  7852 
  7853 * Command 'thms_containing' has been discontinued in favour of
  7854 'find_theorems'; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7855 
  7856 * Communication with Proof General is now 8bit clean, which means that
  7857 Unicode text in UTF-8 encoding may be used within theory texts (both
  7858 formal and informal parts).  Cf. option -U of the Isabelle Proof
  7859 General interface.  Here are some simple examples (cf. src/HOL/ex):
  7860 
  7861   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Hebrew.html
  7862   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Chinese.html
  7863 
  7864 * Improved efficiency of the Simplifier and, to a lesser degree, the
  7865 Classical Reasoner.  Typical big applications run around 2 times
  7866 faster.
  7867 
  7868 
  7869 *** Document preparation ***
  7870 
  7871 * Commands 'display_drafts' and 'print_drafts' perform simple output
  7872 of raw sources.  Only those symbols that do not require additional
  7873 LaTeX packages (depending on comments in isabellesym.sty) are
  7874 displayed properly, everything else is left verbatim.  isatool display
  7875 and isatool print are used as front ends (these are subject to the
  7876 DVI/PDF_VIEWER and PRINT_COMMAND settings, respectively).
  7877 
  7878 * Command tags control specific markup of certain regions of text,
  7879 notably folding and hiding.  Predefined tags include "theory" (for
  7880 theory begin and end), "proof" for proof commands, and "ML" for
  7881 commands involving ML code; the additional tags "visible" and
  7882 "invisible" are unused by default.  Users may give explicit tag
  7883 specifications in the text, e.g. ''by %invisible (auto)''.  The
  7884 interpretation of tags is determined by the LaTeX job during document
  7885 preparation: see option -V of isatool usedir, or options -n and -t of
  7886 isatool document, or even the LaTeX macros \isakeeptag, \isafoldtag,
  7887 \isadroptag.
  7888 
  7889 Several document versions may be produced at the same time via isatool
  7890 usedir (the generated index.html will link all of them).  Typical
  7891 specifications include ''-V document=theory,proof,ML'' to present
  7892 theory/proof/ML parts faithfully, ''-V outline=/proof,/ML'' to fold
  7893 proof and ML commands, and ''-V mutilated=-theory,-proof,-ML'' to omit
  7894 these parts without any formal replacement text.  The Isabelle site
  7895 default settings produce ''document'' and ''outline'' versions as
  7896 specified above.
  7897 
  7898 * Several new antiquotations:
  7899 
  7900   @{term_type term} prints a term with its type annotated;
  7901 
  7902   @{typeof term} prints the type of a term;
  7903 
  7904   @{const const} is the same as @{term const}, but checks that the
  7905   argument is a known logical constant;
  7906 
  7907   @{term_style style term} and @{thm_style style thm} print a term or
  7908   theorem applying a "style" to it
  7909 
  7910   @{ML text}
  7911 
  7912 Predefined styles are 'lhs' and 'rhs' printing the lhs/rhs of
  7913 definitions, equations, inequations etc., 'concl' printing only the
  7914 conclusion of a meta-logical statement theorem, and 'prem1' .. 'prem19'
  7915 to print the specified premise.  TermStyle.add_style provides an ML
  7916 interface for introducing further styles.  See also the "LaTeX Sugar"
  7917 document practical applications.  The ML antiquotation prints
  7918 type-checked ML expressions verbatim.
  7919 
  7920 * Markup commands 'chapter', 'section', 'subsection', 'subsubsection',
  7921 and 'text' support optional locale specification '(in loc)', which
  7922 specifies the default context for interpreting antiquotations.  For
  7923 example: 'text (in lattice) {* @{thm inf_assoc}*}'.
  7924 
  7925 * Option 'locale=NAME' of antiquotations specifies an alternative
  7926 context interpreting the subsequent argument.  For example: @{thm
  7927 [locale=lattice] inf_assoc}.
  7928 
  7929 * Proper output of proof terms (@{prf ...} and @{full_prf ...}) within
  7930 a proof context.
  7931 
  7932 * Proper output of antiquotations for theory commands involving a
  7933 proof context (such as 'locale' or 'theorem (in loc) ...').
  7934 
  7935 * Delimiters of outer tokens (string etc.) now produce separate LaTeX
  7936 macros (\isachardoublequoteopen, isachardoublequoteclose etc.).
  7937 
  7938 * isatool usedir: new option -C (default true) controls whether option
  7939 -D should include a copy of the original document directory; -C false
  7940 prevents unwanted effects such as copying of administrative CVS data.
  7941 
  7942 
  7943 *** Pure ***
  7944 
  7945 * Considerably improved version of 'constdefs' command.  Now performs
  7946 automatic type-inference of declared constants; additional support for
  7947 local structure declarations (cf. locales and HOL records), see also
  7948 isar-ref manual.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to observe strictly
  7949 sequential dependencies of definitions within a single 'constdefs'
  7950 section; moreover, the declared name needs to be an identifier.  If
  7951 all fails, consider to fall back on 'consts' and 'defs' separately.
  7952 
  7953 * Improved indexed syntax and implicit structures.  First of all,
  7954 indexed syntax provides a notational device for subscripted
  7955 application, using the new syntax \<^bsub>term\<^esub> for arbitrary
  7956 expressions.  Secondly, in a local context with structure
  7957 declarations, number indexes \<^sub>n or the empty index (default
  7958 number 1) refer to a certain fixed variable implicitly; option
  7959 show_structs controls printing of implicit structures.  Typical
  7960 applications of these concepts involve record types and locales.
  7961 
  7962 * New command 'no_syntax' removes grammar declarations (and
  7963 translations) resulting from the given syntax specification, which is
  7964 interpreted in the same manner as for the 'syntax' command.
  7965 
  7966 * 'Advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) may depend
  7967 on the signature of the theory context being presently used for
  7968 parsing/printing, see also isar-ref manual.
  7969 
  7970 * Improved 'oracle' command provides a type-safe interface to turn an
  7971 ML expression of type theory -> T -> term into a primitive rule of
  7972 type theory -> T -> thm (i.e. the functionality of Thm.invoke_oracle
  7973 is already included here); see also FOL/ex/IffExample.thy;
  7974 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7975 
  7976 * axclass: name space prefix for class "c" is now "c_class" (was "c"
  7977 before); "cI" is no longer bound, use "c.intro" instead.
  7978 INCOMPATIBILITY.  This change avoids clashes of fact bindings for
  7979 axclasses vs. locales.
  7980 
  7981 * Improved internal renaming of symbolic identifiers -- attach primes
  7982 instead of base 26 numbers.
  7983 
  7984 * New flag show_question_marks controls printing of leading question
  7985 marks in schematic variable names.
  7986 
  7987 * In schematic variable names, *any* symbol following \<^isub> or
  7988 \<^isup> is now treated as part of the base name.  For example, the
  7989 following works without printing of awkward ".0" indexes:
  7990 
  7991   lemma "x\<^isub>1 = x\<^isub>2 ==> x\<^isub>2 = x\<^isub>1"
  7992     by simp
  7993 
  7994 * Inner syntax includes (*(*nested*) comments*).
  7995 
  7996 * Pretty printer now supports unbreakable blocks, specified in mixfix
  7997 annotations as "(00...)".
  7998 
  7999 * Clear separation of logical types and nonterminals, where the latter
  8000 may only occur in 'syntax' specifications or type abbreviations.
  8001 Before that distinction was only partially implemented via type class
  8002 "logic" vs. "{}".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare cases of improper
  8003 use of 'types'/'consts' instead of 'nonterminals'/'syntax'.  Some very
  8004 exotic syntax specifications may require further adaption
  8005 (e.g. Cube/Cube.thy).
  8006 
  8007 * Removed obsolete type class "logic", use the top sort {} instead.
  8008 Note that non-logical types should be declared as 'nonterminals'
  8009 rather than 'types'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for new object-logic
  8010 specifications.
  8011 
  8012 * Attributes 'induct' and 'cases': type or set names may now be
  8013 locally fixed variables as well.
  8014 
  8015 * Simplifier: can now control the depth to which conditional rewriting
  8016 is traced via the PG menu Isabelle -> Settings -> Trace Simp Depth
  8017 Limit.
  8018 
  8019 * Simplifier: simplification procedures may now take the current
  8020 simpset into account (cf. Simplifier.simproc(_i) / mk_simproc
  8021 interface), which is very useful for calling the Simplifier
  8022 recursively.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: the 'prems' argument of simprocs
  8023 is gone -- use prems_of_ss on the simpset instead.  Moreover, the
  8024 low-level mk_simproc no longer applies Logic.varify internally, to
  8025 allow for use in a context of fixed variables.
  8026 
  8027 * thin_tac now works even if the assumption being deleted contains !!
  8028 or ==>.  More generally, erule now works even if the major premise of
  8029 the elimination rule contains !! or ==>.
  8030 
  8031 * Method 'rules' has been renamed to 'iprover'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8032 
  8033 * Reorganized bootstrapping of the Pure theories; CPure is now derived
  8034 from Pure, which contains all common declarations already.  Both
  8035 theories are defined via plain Isabelle/Isar .thy files.
  8036 INCOMPATIBILITY: elements of CPure (such as the CPure.intro /
  8037 CPure.elim / CPure.dest attributes) now appear in the Pure name space;
  8038 use isatool fixcpure to adapt your theory and ML sources.
  8039 
  8040 * New syntax 'name(i-j, i-, i, ...)' for referring to specific
  8041 selections of theorems in named facts via index ranges.
  8042 
  8043 * 'print_theorems': in theory mode, really print the difference
  8044 wrt. the last state (works for interactive theory development only),
  8045 in proof mode print all local facts (cf. 'print_facts');
  8046 
  8047 * 'hide': option '(open)' hides only base names.
  8048 
  8049 * More efficient treatment of intermediate checkpoints in interactive
  8050 theory development.
  8051 
  8052 * Code generator is now invoked via code_module (incremental code
  8053 generation) and code_library (modular code generation, ML structures
  8054 for each theory).  INCOMPATIBILITY: new keywords 'file' and 'contains'
  8055 must be quoted when used as identifiers.
  8056 
  8057 * New 'value' command for reading, evaluating and printing terms using
  8058 the code generator.  INCOMPATIBILITY: command keyword 'value' must be
  8059 quoted when used as identifier.
  8060 
  8061 
  8062 *** Locales ***
  8063 
  8064 * New commands for the interpretation of locale expressions in
  8065 theories (1), locales (2) and proof contexts (3).  These generate
  8066 proof obligations from the expression specification.  After the
  8067 obligations have been discharged, theorems of the expression are added
  8068 to the theory, target locale or proof context.  The synopsis of the
  8069 commands is a follows:
  8070 
  8071   (1) interpretation expr inst
  8072   (2) interpretation target < expr
  8073   (3) interpret expr inst
  8074 
  8075 Interpretation in theories and proof contexts require a parameter
  8076 instantiation of terms from the current context.  This is applied to
  8077 specifications and theorems of the interpreted expression.
  8078 Interpretation in locales only permits parameter renaming through the
  8079 locale expression.  Interpretation is smart in that interpretations
  8080 that are active already do not occur in proof obligations, neither are
  8081 instantiated theorems stored in duplicate.  Use 'print_interps' to
  8082 inspect active interpretations of a particular locale.  For details,
  8083 see the Isar Reference manual.  Examples can be found in
  8084 HOL/Finite_Set.thy and HOL/Algebra/UnivPoly.thy.
  8085 
  8086 INCOMPATIBILITY: former 'instantiate' has been withdrawn, use
  8087 'interpret' instead.
  8088 
  8089 * New context element 'constrains' for adding type constraints to
  8090 parameters.
  8091 
  8092 * Context expressions: renaming of parameters with syntax
  8093 redeclaration.
  8094 
  8095 * Locale declaration: 'includes' disallowed.
  8096 
  8097 * Proper static binding of attribute syntax -- i.e. types / terms /
  8098 facts mentioned as arguments are always those of the locale definition
  8099 context, independently of the context of later invocations.  Moreover,
  8100 locale operations (renaming and type / term instantiation) are applied
  8101 to attribute arguments as expected.
  8102 
  8103 INCOMPATIBILITY of the ML interface: always pass Attrib.src instead of
  8104 actual attributes; rare situations may require Attrib.attribute to
  8105 embed those attributes into Attrib.src that lack concrete syntax.
  8106 Attribute implementations need to cooperate properly with the static
  8107 binding mechanism.  Basic parsers Args.XXX_typ/term/prop and
  8108 Attrib.XXX_thm etc. already do the right thing without further
  8109 intervention.  Only unusual applications -- such as "where" or "of"
  8110 (cf. src/Pure/Isar/attrib.ML), which process arguments depending both
  8111 on the context and the facts involved -- may have to assign parsed
  8112 values to argument tokens explicitly.
  8113 
  8114 * Changed parameter management in theorem generation for long goal
  8115 statements with 'includes'.  INCOMPATIBILITY: produces a different
  8116 theorem statement in rare situations.
  8117 
  8118 * Locale inspection command 'print_locale' omits notes elements.  Use
  8119 'print_locale!' to have them included in the output.
  8120 
  8121 
  8122 *** Provers ***
  8123 
  8124 * Provers/hypsubst.ML: improved version of the subst method, for
  8125 single-step rewriting: it now works in bound variable contexts. New is
  8126 'subst (asm)', for rewriting an assumption.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may
  8127 rewrite a different subterm than the original subst method, which is
  8128 still available as 'simplesubst'.
  8129 
  8130 * Provers/quasi.ML: new transitivity reasoners for transitivity only
  8131 and quasi orders.
  8132 
  8133 * Provers/trancl.ML: new transitivity reasoner for transitive and
  8134 reflexive-transitive closure of relations.
  8135 
  8136 * Provers/blast.ML: new reference depth_limit to make blast's depth
  8137 limit (previously hard-coded with a value of 20) user-definable.
  8138 
  8139 * Provers/simplifier.ML has been moved to Pure, where Simplifier.setup
  8140 is peformed already.  Object-logics merely need to finish their
  8141 initial simpset configuration as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8142 
  8143 
  8144 *** HOL ***
  8145 
  8146 * Symbolic syntax of Hilbert Choice Operator is now as follows:
  8147 
  8148   syntax (epsilon)
  8149     "_Eps" :: "[pttrn, bool] => 'a"    ("(3\<some>_./ _)" [0, 10] 10)
  8150 
  8151 The symbol \<some> is displayed as the alternative epsilon of LaTeX
  8152 and x-symbol; use option '-m epsilon' to get it actually printed.
  8153 Moreover, the mathematically important symbolic identifier \<epsilon>
  8154 becomes available as variable, constant etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  8155 
  8156 * "x > y" abbreviates "y < x" and "x >= y" abbreviates "y <= x".
  8157 Similarly for all quantifiers: "ALL x > y" etc.  The x-symbol for >=
  8158 is \<ge>. New transitivity rules have been added to HOL/Orderings.thy to
  8159 support corresponding Isar calculations.
  8160 
  8161 * "{x:A. P}" abbreviates "{x. x:A & P}", and similarly for "\<in>"
  8162 instead of ":".
  8163 
  8164 * theory SetInterval: changed the syntax for open intervals:
  8165 
  8166   Old       New
  8167   {..n(}    {..<n}
  8168   {)n..}    {n<..}
  8169   {m..n(}   {m..<n}
  8170   {)m..n}   {m<..n}
  8171   {)m..n(}  {m<..<n}
  8172 
  8173 The old syntax is still supported but will disappear in the next
  8174 release.  For conversion use the following Emacs search and replace
  8175 patterns (these are not perfect but work quite well):
  8176 
  8177   {)\([^\.]*\)\.\.  ->  {\1<\.\.}
  8178   \.\.\([^(}]*\)(}  ->  \.\.<\1}
  8179 
  8180 * Theory Commutative_Ring (in Library): method comm_ring for proving
  8181 equalities in commutative rings; method 'algebra' provides a generic
  8182 interface.
  8183 
  8184 * Theory Finite_Set: changed the syntax for 'setsum', summation over
  8185 finite sets: "setsum (%x. e) A", which used to be "\<Sum>x:A. e", is
  8186 now either "SUM x:A. e" or "\<Sum>x \<in> A. e". The bound variable can
  8187 be a tuple pattern.
  8188 
  8189 Some new syntax forms are available:
  8190 
  8191   "\<Sum>x | P. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {x. P}"
  8192   "\<Sum>x = a..b. e"   for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..b}"
  8193   "\<Sum>x = a..<b. e"  for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..<b}"
  8194   "\<Sum>x < k. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {..<k}"
  8195 
  8196 The latter form "\<Sum>x < k. e" used to be based on a separate
  8197 function "Summation", which has been discontinued.
  8198 
  8199 * theory Finite_Set: in structured induction proofs, the insert case
  8200 is now 'case (insert x F)' instead of the old counterintuitive 'case
  8201 (insert F x)'.
  8202 
  8203 * The 'refute' command has been extended to support a much larger
  8204 fragment of HOL, including axiomatic type classes, constdefs and
  8205 typedefs, inductive datatypes and recursion.
  8206 
  8207 * New tactics 'sat' and 'satx' to prove propositional tautologies.
  8208 Requires zChaff with proof generation to be installed.  See
  8209 HOL/ex/SAT_Examples.thy for examples.
  8210 
  8211 * Datatype induction via method 'induct' now preserves the name of the
  8212 induction variable. For example, when proving P(xs::'a list) by
  8213 induction on xs, the induction step is now P(xs) ==> P(a#xs) rather
  8214 than P(list) ==> P(a#list) as previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  8215 in unstructured proof scripts.
  8216 
  8217 * Reworked implementation of records.  Improved scalability for
  8218 records with many fields, avoiding performance problems for type
  8219 inference. Records are no longer composed of nested field types, but
  8220 of nested extension types. Therefore the record type only grows linear
  8221 in the number of extensions and not in the number of fields.  The
  8222 top-level (users) view on records is preserved.  Potential
  8223 INCOMPATIBILITY only in strange cases, where the theory depends on the
  8224 old record representation. The type generated for a record is called
  8225 <record_name>_ext_type.
  8226 
  8227 Flag record_quick_and_dirty_sensitive can be enabled to skip the
  8228 proofs triggered by a record definition or a simproc (if
  8229 quick_and_dirty is enabled).  Definitions of large records can take
  8230 quite long.
  8231 
  8232 New simproc record_upd_simproc for simplification of multiple record
  8233 updates enabled by default.  Moreover, trivial updates are also
  8234 removed: r(|x := x r|) = r.  INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break
  8235 occasionally, since simplification is more powerful by default.
  8236 
  8237 * typedef: proper support for polymorphic sets, which contain extra
  8238 type-variables in the term.
  8239 
  8240 * Simplifier: automatically reasons about transitivity chains
  8241 involving "trancl" (r^+) and "rtrancl" (r^*) by setting up tactics
  8242 provided by Provers/trancl.ML as additional solvers.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  8243 old proofs break occasionally as simplification may now solve more
  8244 goals than previously.
  8245 
  8246 * Simplifier: converts x <= y into x = y if assumption y <= x is
  8247 present.  Works for all partial orders (class "order"), in particular
  8248 numbers and sets.  For linear orders (e.g. numbers) it treats ~ x < y
  8249 just like y <= x.
  8250 
  8251 * Simplifier: new simproc for "let x = a in f x".  If a is a free or
  8252 bound variable or a constant then the let is unfolded.  Otherwise
  8253 first a is simplified to b, and then f b is simplified to g. If
  8254 possible we abstract b from g arriving at "let x = b in h x",
  8255 otherwise we unfold the let and arrive at g.  The simproc can be
  8256 enabled/disabled by the reference use_let_simproc.  Potential
  8257 INCOMPATIBILITY since simplification is more powerful by default.
  8258 
  8259 * Classical reasoning: the meson method now accepts theorems as arguments.
  8260 
  8261 * Prover support: pre-release of the Isabelle-ATP linkup, which runs background
  8262 jobs to provide advice on the provability of subgoals.
  8263 
  8264 * Theory OrderedGroup and Ring_and_Field: various additions and
  8265 improvements to faciliate calculations involving equalities and
  8266 inequalities.
  8267 
  8268 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  8269 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8270 
  8271   abs_eq             now named abs_of_nonneg
  8272   abs_of_ge_0        now named abs_of_nonneg
  8273   abs_minus_eq       now named abs_of_nonpos
  8274   imp_abs_id         now named abs_of_nonneg
  8275   imp_abs_neg_id     now named abs_of_nonpos
  8276   mult_pos           now named mult_pos_pos
  8277   mult_pos_le        now named mult_nonneg_nonneg
  8278   mult_pos_neg_le    now named mult_nonneg_nonpos
  8279   mult_pos_neg2_le   now named mult_nonneg_nonpos2
  8280   mult_neg           now named mult_neg_neg
  8281   mult_neg_le        now named mult_nonpos_nonpos
  8282 
  8283 * The following lemmas in Ring_and_Field have been added to the simplifier:
  8284      
  8285      zero_le_square
  8286      not_square_less_zero 
  8287 
  8288   The following lemmas have been deleted from Real/RealPow:
  8289   
  8290      realpow_zero_zero
  8291      realpow_two
  8292      realpow_less
  8293      zero_le_power
  8294      realpow_two_le
  8295      abs_realpow_two
  8296      realpow_two_abs     
  8297 
  8298 * Theory Parity: added rules for simplifying exponents.
  8299 
  8300 * Theory List:
  8301 
  8302 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  8303 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8304 
  8305   list_all_Nil       now named list_all.simps(1)
  8306   list_all_Cons      now named list_all.simps(2)
  8307   list_all_conv      now named list_all_iff
  8308   set_mem_eq         now named mem_iff
  8309 
  8310 * Theories SetsAndFunctions and BigO (see HOL/Library) support
  8311 asymptotic "big O" calculations.  See the notes in BigO.thy.
  8312 
  8313 
  8314 *** HOL-Complex ***
  8315 
  8316 * Theory RealDef: better support for embedding natural numbers and
  8317 integers in the reals.
  8318 
  8319 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  8320 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8321 
  8322   exp_ge_add_one_self  now requires no hypotheses
  8323   real_of_int_add      reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8324   real_of_int_minus    reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8325   real_of_int_diff     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8326   real_of_int_mult     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8327 
  8328 * Theory RComplete: expanded support for floor and ceiling functions.
  8329 
  8330 * Theory Ln is new, with properties of the natural logarithm
  8331 
  8332 * Hyperreal: There is a new type constructor "star" for making
  8333 nonstandard types.  The old type names are now type synonyms:
  8334 
  8335   hypreal = real star
  8336   hypnat = nat star
  8337   hcomplex = complex star
  8338 
  8339 * Hyperreal: Many groups of similarly-defined constants have been
  8340 replaced by polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8341 
  8342   star_of <-- hypreal_of_real, hypnat_of_nat, hcomplex_of_complex
  8343 
  8344   starset      <-- starsetNat, starsetC
  8345   *s*          <-- *sNat*, *sc*
  8346   starset_n    <-- starsetNat_n, starsetC_n
  8347   *sn*         <-- *sNatn*, *scn*
  8348   InternalSets <-- InternalNatSets, InternalCSets
  8349 
  8350   starfun      <-- starfun{Nat,Nat2,C,RC,CR}
  8351   *f*          <-- *fNat*, *fNat2*, *fc*, *fRc*, *fcR*
  8352   starfun_n    <-- starfun{Nat,Nat2,C,RC,CR}_n
  8353   *fn*         <-- *fNatn*, *fNat2n*, *fcn*, *fRcn*, *fcRn*
  8354   InternalFuns <-- InternalNatFuns, InternalNatFuns2, Internal{C,RC,CR}Funs
  8355 
  8356 * Hyperreal: Many type-specific theorems have been removed in favor of
  8357 theorems specific to various axiomatic type classes (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8358 
  8359   add_commute <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_commute
  8360   add_assoc   <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_assocs
  8361   OrderedGroup.add_0 <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_zero_left
  8362   OrderedGroup.add_0_right <-- {hypreal,hcomplex}_add_zero_right
  8363   right_minus <-- hypreal_add_minus
  8364   left_minus <-- {hypreal,hcomplex}_add_minus_left
  8365   mult_commute <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_mult_commute
  8366   mult_assoc <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_mult_assoc
  8367   mult_1_left <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_mult_1, hcomplex_mult_one_left
  8368   mult_1_right <-- hcomplex_mult_one_right
  8369   mult_zero_left <-- hcomplex_mult_zero_left
  8370   left_distrib <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_mult_distrib
  8371   right_distrib <-- hypnat_add_mult_distrib2
  8372   zero_neq_one <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_zero_not_eq_one
  8373   right_inverse <-- hypreal_mult_inverse
  8374   left_inverse <-- hypreal_mult_inverse_left, hcomplex_mult_inv_left
  8375   order_refl <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_le_refl
  8376   order_trans <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_le_trans
  8377   order_antisym <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_le_anti_sym
  8378   order_less_le <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_less_le
  8379   linorder_linear <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_le_linear
  8380   add_left_mono <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_add_left_mono
  8381   mult_strict_left_mono <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_mult_less_mono2
  8382   add_nonneg_nonneg <-- hypreal_le_add_order
  8383 
  8384 * Hyperreal: Separate theorems having to do with type-specific
  8385 versions of constants have been merged into theorems that apply to the
  8386 new polymorphic constants (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8387 
  8388   STAR_UNIV_set <-- {STAR_real,NatStar_real,STARC_complex}_set
  8389   STAR_empty_set <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_empty_set
  8390   STAR_Un <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_Un
  8391   STAR_Int <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_Int
  8392   STAR_Compl <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_Compl
  8393   STAR_subset <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_subset
  8394   STAR_mem <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_mem
  8395   STAR_mem_Compl <-- {STAR,STARC}_mem_Compl
  8396   STAR_diff <-- {STAR,STARC}_diff
  8397   STAR_star_of_image_subset <-- {STAR_hypreal_of_real, NatStar_hypreal_of_real,

  8475   star_of_eq_0 <-- hcomplex_of_complex_zero_iff
  8476 
  8477 * Hyperreal: new method "transfer" that implements the transfer
  8478 principle of nonstandard analysis. With a subgoal that mentions
  8479 nonstandard types like "'a star", the command "apply transfer"
  8480 replaces it with an equivalent one that mentions only standard types.
  8481 To be successful, all free variables must have standard types; non-
  8482 standard variables must have explicit universal quantifiers.
  8483 
  8484 * Hyperreal: A theory of Taylor series.
  8485 
  8486 
  8487 *** HOLCF ***
  8488 
  8489 * Discontinued special version of 'constdefs' (which used to support
  8490 continuous functions) in favor of the general Pure one with full
  8491 type-inference.
  8492 
  8493 * New simplification procedure for solving continuity conditions; it
  8494 is much faster on terms with many nested lambda abstractions (cubic
  8495 instead of exponential time).
  8496 
  8497 * New syntax for domain package: selector names are now optional.
  8498 Parentheses should be omitted unless argument is lazy, for example:
  8499 
  8500   domain 'a stream = cons "'a" (lazy "'a stream")
  8501 
  8502 * New command 'fixrec' for defining recursive functions with pattern
  8503 matching; defining multiple functions with mutual recursion is also
  8504 supported.  Patterns may include the constants cpair, spair, up, sinl,
  8505 sinr, or any data constructor defined by the domain package. The given
  8506 equations are proven as rewrite rules. See HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  8507 syntax and examples.
  8508 
  8509 * New commands 'cpodef' and 'pcpodef' for defining predicate subtypes
  8510 of cpo and pcpo types. Syntax is exactly like the 'typedef' command,
  8511 but the proof obligation additionally includes an admissibility
  8512 requirement. The packages generate instances of class cpo or pcpo,
  8513 with continuity and strictness theorems for Rep and Abs.
  8514 
  8515 * HOLCF: Many theorems have been renamed according to a more standard naming
  8516 scheme (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8517 
  8518   foo_inject:  "foo$x = foo$y ==> x = y"
  8519   foo_eq:      "(foo$x = foo$y) = (x = y)"
  8520   foo_less:    "(foo$x << foo$y) = (x << y)"
  8521   foo_strict:  "foo$UU = UU"
  8522   foo_defined: "... ==> foo$x ~= UU"
  8523   foo_defined_iff: "(foo$x = UU) = (x = UU)"
  8524 
  8525 
  8526 *** ZF ***
  8527 
  8528 * ZF/ex: theories Group and Ring provide examples in abstract algebra,
  8529 including the First Isomorphism Theorem (on quotienting by the kernel
  8530 of a homomorphism).
  8531 
  8532 * ZF/Simplifier: install second copy of type solver that actually
  8533 makes use of TC rules declared to Isar proof contexts (or locales);
  8534 the old version is still required for ML proof scripts.
  8535 
  8536 
  8537 *** Cube ***
  8538 
  8539 * Converted to Isar theory format; use locales instead of axiomatic
  8540 theories.
  8541 
  8542 
  8543 *** ML ***
  8544 
  8545 * Pure/library.ML: added ##>, ##>>, #>> -- higher-order counterparts
  8546 for ||>, ||>>, |>>,
  8547 
  8548 * Pure/library.ML no longer defines its own option datatype, but uses
  8549 that of the SML basis, which has constructors NONE and SOME instead of
  8550 None and Some, as well as exception Option.Option instead of OPTION.
  8551 The functions the, if_none, is_some, is_none have been adapted
  8552 accordingly, while Option.map replaces apsome.
  8553 
  8554 * Pure/library.ML: the exception LIST has been given up in favour of
  8555 the standard exceptions Empty and Subscript, as well as
  8556 Library.UnequalLengths.  Function like Library.hd and Library.tl are
  8557 superceded by the standard hd and tl functions etc.
  8558 
  8559 A number of basic list functions are no longer exported to the ML
  8560 toplevel, as they are variants of predefined functions.  The following
  8561 suggests how one can translate existing code:
  8562 
  8563     rev_append xs ys = List.revAppend (xs, ys)
  8564     nth_elem (i, xs) = List.nth (xs, i)
  8565     last_elem xs = List.last xs
  8566     flat xss = List.concat xss
  8567     seq fs = List.app fs
  8568     partition P xs = List.partition P xs
  8569     mapfilter f xs = List.mapPartial f xs
  8570 
  8571 * Pure/library.ML: several combinators for linear functional
  8572 transformations, notably reverse application and composition:
  8573 
  8574   x |> f                f #> g
  8575   (x, y) |-> f          f #-> g
  8576 
  8577 * Pure/library.ML: introduced/changed precedence of infix operators:
  8578 
  8579   infix 1 |> |-> ||> ||>> |>> |>>> #> #->;
  8580   infix 2 ?;
  8581   infix 3 o oo ooo oooo;
  8582   infix 4 ~~ upto downto;
  8583 
  8584 Maybe INCOMPATIBILITY when any of those is used in conjunction with other
  8585 infix operators.
  8586 
  8587 * Pure/library.ML: natural list combinators fold, fold_rev, and
  8588 fold_map support linear functional transformations and nesting.  For
  8589 example:
  8590 
  8591   fold f [x1, ..., xN] y =
  8592     y |> f x1 |> ... |> f xN
  8593 
  8594   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] y =
  8595     y |> fold f xs1 |> ... |> fold f xsN
  8596 
  8597   fold f [x1, ..., xN] =
  8598     f x1 #> ... #> f xN
  8599 
  8600   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] =
  8601     fold f xs1 #> ... #> fold f xsN
  8602 
  8603 * Pure/library.ML: the following selectors on type 'a option are
  8604 available:
  8605 
  8606   the:               'a option -> 'a  (*partial*)
  8607   these:             'a option -> 'a  where 'a = 'b list
  8608   the_default: 'a -> 'a option -> 'a
  8609   the_list:          'a option -> 'a list
  8610 
  8611 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  8612 basic operations for association lists, following natural argument
  8613 order; moreover the explicit equality predicate passed here avoids
  8614 potentially expensive polymorphic runtime equality checks.
  8615 The old functions may be expressed as follows:
  8616 
  8617   assoc = uncurry (AList.lookup (op =))
  8618   assocs = these oo AList.lookup (op =)
  8619   overwrite = uncurry (AList.update (op =)) o swap
  8620 
  8621 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  8622 
  8623   val make: ('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> ('a * 'b) list
  8624   val find: ('a * 'b -> bool) -> ('c * 'b) list -> 'a -> 'c list
  8625 
  8626 replacing make_keylist and keyfilter (occassionally used)
  8627 Naive rewrites:
  8628 
  8629   make_keylist = AList.make
  8630   keyfilter = AList.find (op =)
  8631 
  8632 * eq_fst and eq_snd now take explicit equality parameter, thus
  8633   avoiding eqtypes. Naive rewrites:
  8634 
  8635     eq_fst = eq_fst (op =)
  8636     eq_snd = eq_snd (op =)
  8637 
  8638 * Removed deprecated apl and apr (rarely used).
  8639   Naive rewrites:
  8640 
  8641     apl (n, op) =>>= curry op n
  8642     apr (op, m) =>>= fn n => op (n, m)
  8643 
  8644 * Pure/General: structure OrdList (cf. Pure/General/ord_list.ML)
  8645 provides a reasonably efficient light-weight implementation of sets as
  8646 lists.
  8647 
  8648 * Pure/General: generic tables (cf. Pure/General/table.ML) provide a
  8649 few new operations; existing lookup and update are now curried to
  8650 follow natural argument order (for use with fold etc.);
  8651 INCOMPATIBILITY, use (uncurry Symtab.lookup) etc. as last resort.
  8652 
  8653 * Pure/General: output via the Isabelle channels of
  8654 writeln/warning/error etc. is now passed through Output.output, with a
  8655 hook for arbitrary transformations depending on the print_mode
  8656 (cf. Output.add_mode -- the first active mode that provides a output
  8657 function wins).  Already formatted output may be embedded into further
  8658 text via Output.raw; the result of Pretty.string_of/str_of and derived
  8659 functions (string_of_term/cterm/thm etc.) is already marked raw to
  8660 accommodate easy composition of diagnostic messages etc.  Programmers
  8661 rarely need to care about Output.output or Output.raw at all, with
  8662 some notable exceptions: Output.output is required when bypassing the
  8663 standard channels (writeln etc.), or in token translations to produce
  8664 properly formatted results; Output.raw is required when capturing
  8665 already output material that will eventually be presented to the user
  8666 a second time.  For the default print mode, both Output.output and
  8667 Output.raw have no effect.
  8668 
  8669 * Pure/General: Output.time_accumulator NAME creates an operator ('a
  8670 -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'b to measure runtime and count invocations; the
  8671 cumulative results are displayed at the end of a batch session.
  8672 
  8673 * Pure/General: File.sysify_path and File.quote_sysify path have been
  8674 replaced by File.platform_path and File.shell_path (with appropriate
  8675 hooks).  This provides a clean interface for unusual systems where the
  8676 internal and external process view of file names are different.
  8677 
  8678 * Pure: more efficient orders for basic syntactic entities: added
  8679 fast_string_ord, fast_indexname_ord, fast_term_ord; changed sort_ord
  8680 and typ_ord to use fast_string_ord and fast_indexname_ord (term_ord is
  8681 NOT affected); structures Symtab, Vartab, Typtab, Termtab use the fast
  8682 orders now -- potential INCOMPATIBILITY for code that depends on a
  8683 particular order for Symtab.keys, Symtab.dest, etc. (consider using
  8684 Library.sort_strings on result).
  8685 
  8686 * Pure/term.ML: combinators fold_atyps, fold_aterms, fold_term_types,
  8687 fold_types traverse types/terms from left to right, observing natural
  8688 argument order.  Supercedes previous foldl_XXX versions, add_frees,
  8689 add_vars etc. have been adapted as well: INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8690 
  8691 * Pure: name spaces have been refined, with significant changes of the
  8692 internal interfaces -- INCOMPATIBILITY.  Renamed cond_extern(_table)
  8693 to extern(_table).  The plain name entry path is superceded by a
  8694 general 'naming' context, which also includes the 'policy' to produce
  8695 a fully qualified name and external accesses of a fully qualified
  8696 name; NameSpace.extend is superceded by context dependent
  8697 Sign.declare_name.  Several theory and proof context operations modify
  8698 the naming context.  Especially note Theory.restore_naming and
  8699 ProofContext.restore_naming to get back to a sane state; note that
  8700 Theory.add_path is no longer sufficient to recover from
  8701 Theory.absolute_path in particular.
  8702 
  8703 * Pure: new flags short_names (default false) and unique_names
  8704 (default true) for controlling output of qualified names.  If
  8705 short_names is set, names are printed unqualified.  If unique_names is
  8706 reset, the name prefix is reduced to the minimum required to achieve
  8707 the original result when interning again, even if there is an overlap
  8708 with earlier declarations.
  8709 
  8710 * Pure/TheoryDataFun: change of the argument structure; 'prep_ext' is
  8711 now 'extend', and 'merge' gets an additional Pretty.pp argument
  8712 (useful for printing error messages).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8713 
  8714 * Pure: major reorganization of the theory context.  Type Sign.sg and
  8715 Theory.theory are now identified, referring to the universal
  8716 Context.theory (see Pure/context.ML).  Actual signature and theory
  8717 content is managed as theory data.  The old code and interfaces were
  8718 spread over many files and structures; the new arrangement introduces
  8719 considerable INCOMPATIBILITY to gain more clarity:
  8720 
  8721   Context -- theory management operations (name, identity, inclusion,
  8722     parents, ancestors, merge, etc.), plus generic theory data;
  8723 
  8724   Sign -- logical signature and syntax operations (declaring consts,
  8725     types, etc.), plus certify/read for common entities;
  8726 
  8727   Theory -- logical theory operations (stating axioms, definitions,
  8728     oracles), plus a copy of logical signature operations (consts,
  8729     types, etc.); also a few basic management operations (Theory.copy,
  8730     Theory.merge, etc.)
  8731 
  8732 The most basic sign_of operations (Theory.sign_of, Thm.sign_of_thm
  8733 etc.) as well as the sign field in Thm.rep_thm etc. have been retained
  8734 for convenience -- they merely return the theory.
  8735 
  8736 * Pure: type Type.tsig is superceded by theory in most interfaces.
  8737 
  8738 * Pure: the Isar proof context type is already defined early in Pure
  8739 as Context.proof (note that ProofContext.context and Proof.context are
  8740 aliases, where the latter is the preferred name).  This enables other
  8741 Isabelle components to refer to that type even before Isar is present.
  8742 
  8743 * Pure/sign/theory: discontinued named name spaces (i.e. classK,
  8744 typeK, constK, axiomK, oracleK), but provide explicit operations for
  8745 any of these kinds.  For example, Sign.intern typeK is now
  8746 Sign.intern_type, Theory.hide_space Sign.typeK is now
  8747 Theory.hide_types.  Also note that former
  8748 Theory.hide_classes/types/consts are now
  8749 Theory.hide_classes_i/types_i/consts_i, while the non '_i' versions
  8750 internalize their arguments!  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8751 
  8752 * Pure: get_thm interface (of PureThy and ProofContext) expects
  8753 datatype thmref (with constructors Name and NameSelection) instead of
  8754 plain string -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8755 
  8756 * Pure: cases produced by proof methods specify options, where NONE
  8757 means to remove case bindings -- INCOMPATIBILITY in
  8758 (RAW_)METHOD_CASES.
  8759 
  8760 * Pure: the following operations retrieve axioms or theorems from a
  8761 theory node or theory hierarchy, respectively:
  8762 
  8763   Theory.axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  8764   Theory.all_axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  8765   PureThy.thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  8766   PureThy.all_thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  8767 
  8768 * Pure: print_tac now outputs the goal through the trace channel.
  8769 
  8770 * Isar toplevel: improved diagnostics, mostly for Poly/ML only.
  8771 Reference Toplevel.debug (default false) controls detailed printing
  8772 and tracing of low-level exceptions; Toplevel.profiling (default 0)
  8773 controls execution profiling -- set to 1 for time and 2 for space
  8774 (both increase the runtime).
  8775 
  8776 * Isar session: The initial use of ROOT.ML is now always timed,
  8777 i.e. the log will show the actual process times, in contrast to the
  8778 elapsed wall-clock time that the outer shell wrapper produces.
  8779 
  8780 * Simplifier: improved handling of bound variables (nameless
  8781 representation, avoid allocating new strings).  Simprocs that invoke
  8782 the Simplifier recursively should use Simplifier.inherit_bounds to
  8783 avoid local name clashes.  Failure to do so produces warnings
  8784 "Simplifier: renamed bound variable ..."; set Simplifier.debug_bounds
  8785 for further details.
  8786 
  8787 * ML functions legacy_bindings and use_legacy_bindings produce ML fact
  8788 bindings for all theorems stored within a given theory; this may help
  8789 in porting non-Isar theories to Isar ones, while keeping ML proof
  8790 scripts for the time being.
  8791 
  8792 * ML operator HTML.with_charset specifies the charset begin used for
  8793 generated HTML files.  For example:
  8794 
  8795   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Hebrew";
  8796   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Chinese";
  8797 
  8798 
  8799 *** System ***
  8800 
  8801 * Allow symlinks to all proper Isabelle executables (Isabelle,
  8802 isabelle, isatool etc.).
  8803 
  8804 * ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT setting specifies preferred document format (for
  8805 isatool doc, isatool mkdir, display_drafts etc.).
  8806 
  8807 * isatool usedir: option -f allows specification of the ML file to be
  8808 used by Isabelle; default is ROOT.ML.
  8809 
  8810 * New isatool version outputs the version identifier of the Isabelle
  8811 distribution being used.
  8812 
  8813 * HOL: new isatool dimacs2hol converts files in DIMACS CNF format
  8814 (containing Boolean satisfiability problems) into Isabelle/HOL
  8815 theories.
  8816 
  8817 
  8818 
  8819 New in Isabelle2004 (April 2004)
  8820 --------------------------------
  8821 
  8822 *** General ***
  8823 
  8824 * Provers/order.ML:  new efficient reasoner for partial and linear orders.
  8825   Replaces linorder.ML.
  8826 
  8827 * Pure: Greek letters (except small lambda, \<lambda>), as well as Gothic
  8828   (\<aa>...\<zz>\<AA>...\<ZZ>), calligraphic (\<A>...\<Z>), and Euler
  8829   (\<a>...\<z>), are now considered normal letters, and can therefore
  8830   be used anywhere where an ASCII letter (a...zA...Z) has until
  8831   now. COMPATIBILITY: This obviously changes the parsing of some
  8832   terms, especially where a symbol has been used as a binder, say
  8833   '\<Pi>x. ...', which is now a type error since \<Pi>x will be parsed
  8834   as an identifier.  Fix it by inserting a space around former
  8835   symbols.  Call 'isatool fixgreek' to try to fix parsing errors in
  8836   existing theory and ML files.
  8837 
  8838 * Pure: Macintosh and Windows line-breaks are now allowed in theory files.
  8839 
  8840 * Pure: single letter sub/superscripts (\<^isub> and \<^isup>) are now
  8841   allowed in identifiers. Similar to Greek letters \<^isub> is now considered
  8842   a normal (but invisible) letter. For multiple letter subscripts repeat
  8843   \<^isub> like this: x\<^isub>1\<^isub>2.
  8844 
  8845 * Pure: There are now sub-/superscripts that can span more than one
  8846   character. Text between \<^bsub> and \<^esub> is set in subscript in
  8847   ProofGeneral and LaTeX, text between \<^bsup> and \<^esup> in
  8848   superscript. The new control characters are not identifier parts.
  8849 
  8850 * Pure: Control-symbols of the form \<^raw:...> will literally print the
  8851   content of "..." to the latex file instead of \isacntrl... . The "..."
  8852   may consist of any printable characters excluding the end bracket >.
  8853 
  8854 * Pure: Using new Isar command "finalconsts" (or the ML functions
  8855   Theory.add_finals or Theory.add_finals_i) it is now possible to
  8856   declare constants "final", which prevents their being given a definition
  8857   later.  It is useful for constants whose behaviour is fixed axiomatically
  8858   rather than definitionally, such as the meta-logic connectives.
  8859 
  8860 * Pure: 'instance' now handles general arities with general sorts
  8861   (i.e. intersections of classes),
  8862 
  8863 * Presentation: generated HTML now uses a CSS style sheet to make layout
  8864   (somewhat) independent of content. It is copied from lib/html/isabelle.css.
  8865   It can be changed to alter the colors/layout of generated pages.
  8866 
  8867 
  8868 *** Isar ***
  8869 
  8870 * Tactic emulation methods rule_tac, erule_tac, drule_tac, frule_tac,
  8871   cut_tac, subgoal_tac and thin_tac:
  8872   - Now understand static (Isar) contexts.  As a consequence, users of Isar
  8873     locales are no longer forced to write Isar proof scripts.
  8874     For details see Isar Reference Manual, paragraph 4.3.2: Further tactic
  8875     emulations.
  8876   - INCOMPATIBILITY: names of variables to be instantiated may no
  8877     longer be enclosed in quotes.  Instead, precede variable name with `?'.
  8878     This is consistent with the instantiation attribute "where".
  8879 
  8880 * Attributes "where" and "of":
  8881   - Now take type variables of instantiated theorem into account when reading
  8882     the instantiation string.  This fixes a bug that caused instantiated
  8883     theorems to have too special types in some circumstances.
  8884   - "where" permits explicit instantiations of type variables.
  8885 
  8886 * Calculation commands "moreover" and "also" no longer interfere with
  8887   current facts ("this"), admitting arbitrary combinations with "then"
  8888   and derived forms.
  8889 
  8890 * Locales:
  8891   - Goal statements involving the context element "includes" no longer
  8892     generate theorems with internal delta predicates (those ending on
  8893     "_axioms") in the premise.
  8894     Resolve particular premise with <locale>.intro to obtain old form.
  8895   - Fixed bug in type inference ("unify_frozen") that prevented mix of target
  8896     specification and "includes" elements in goal statement.
  8897   - Rule sets <locale>.intro and <locale>.axioms no longer declared as
  8898     [intro?] and [elim?] (respectively) by default.
  8899   - Experimental command for instantiation of locales in proof contexts:
  8900         instantiate <label>[<attrs>]: <loc>
  8901     Instantiates locale <loc> and adds all its theorems to the current context
  8902     taking into account their attributes.  Label and attrs are optional
  8903     modifiers, like in theorem declarations.  If present, names of
  8904     instantiated theorems are qualified with <label>, and the attributes
  8905     <attrs> are applied after any attributes these theorems might have already.
  8906       If the locale has assumptions, a chained fact of the form
  8907     "<loc> t1 ... tn" is expected from which instantiations of the parameters
  8908     are derived.  The command does not support old-style locales declared
  8909     with "locale (open)".
  8910       A few (very simple) examples can be found in FOL/ex/LocaleInst.thy.
  8911 
  8912 * HOL: Tactic emulation methods induct_tac and case_tac understand static
  8913   (Isar) contexts.
  8914 
  8915 
  8916 *** HOL ***
  8917 
  8918 * Proof import: new image HOL4 contains the imported library from
  8919   the HOL4 system with about 2500 theorems. It is imported by
  8920   replaying proof terms produced by HOL4 in Isabelle. The HOL4 image
  8921   can be used like any other Isabelle image.  See
  8922   HOL/Import/HOL/README for more information.
  8923 
  8924 * Simplifier:
  8925   - Much improved handling of linear and partial orders.
  8926     Reasoners for linear and partial orders are set up for type classes
  8927     "linorder" and "order" respectively, and are added to the default simpset
  8928     as solvers.  This means that the simplifier can build transitivity chains
  8929     to solve goals from the assumptions.
  8930   - INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break occasionally.  Typically, applications
  8931     of blast or auto after simplification become unnecessary because the goal
  8932     is solved by simplification already.
  8933 
  8934 * Numerics: new theory Ring_and_Field contains over 250 basic numerical laws,
  8935     all proved in axiomatic type classes for semirings, rings and fields.
  8936 
  8937 * Numerics:
  8938   - Numeric types (nat, int, and in HOL-Complex rat, real, complex, etc.) are
  8939     now formalized using the Ring_and_Field theory mentioned above.
  8940   - INCOMPATIBILITY: simplification and arithmetic behaves somewhat differently
  8941     than before, because now they are set up once in a generic manner.
  8942   - INCOMPATIBILITY: many type-specific arithmetic laws have gone.
  8943     Look for the general versions in Ring_and_Field (and Power if they concern
  8944     exponentiation).
  8945 
  8946 * Type "rat" of the rational numbers is now available in HOL-Complex.
  8947 
  8948 * Records:
  8949   - Record types are now by default printed with their type abbreviation
  8950     instead of the list of all field types. This can be configured via
  8951     the reference "print_record_type_abbr".
  8952   - Simproc "record_upd_simproc" for simplification of multiple updates added
  8953     (not enabled by default).
  8954   - Simproc "record_ex_sel_eq_simproc" to simplify EX x. sel r = x resp.
  8955     EX x. x = sel r to True (not enabled by default).
  8956   - Tactic "record_split_simp_tac" to split and simplify records added.
  8957 
  8958 * 'specification' command added, allowing for definition by
  8959   specification.  There is also an 'ax_specification' command that
  8960   introduces the new constants axiomatically.
  8961 
  8962 * arith(_tac) is now able to generate counterexamples for reals as well.
  8963 
  8964 * HOL-Algebra: new locale "ring" for non-commutative rings.
  8965 
  8966 * HOL-ex: InductiveInvariant_examples illustrates advanced recursive function
  8967   definitions, thanks to Sava Krsti\'{c} and John Matthews.
  8968 
  8969 * HOL-Matrix: a first theory for matrices in HOL with an application of
  8970   matrix theory to linear programming.
  8971 
  8972 * Unions and Intersections:
  8973   The latex output syntax of UN and INT has been changed
  8974   from "\Union x \in A. B" to "\Union_{x \in A} B"
  8975   i.e. the index formulae has become a subscript.
  8976   Similarly for "\Union x. B", and for \Inter instead of \Union.
  8977 
  8978 * Unions and Intersections over Intervals:
  8979   There is new short syntax "UN i<=n. A" for "UN i:{0..n}. A". There is
  8980   also an x-symbol version with subscripts "\<Union>\<^bsub>i <= n\<^esub>. A"
  8981   like in normal math, and corresponding versions for < and for intersection.
  8982 
  8983 * HOL/List: Ordering "lexico" is renamed "lenlex" and the standard
  8984   lexicographic dictonary ordering has been added as "lexord".
  8985 
  8986 * ML: the legacy theory structures Int and List have been removed. They had
  8987   conflicted with ML Basis Library structures having the same names.
  8988 
  8989 * 'refute' command added to search for (finite) countermodels.  Only works
  8990   for a fragment of HOL.  The installation of an external SAT solver is
  8991   highly recommended.  See "HOL/Refute.thy" for details.
  8992 
  8993 * 'quickcheck' command: Allows to find counterexamples by evaluating
  8994   formulae under an assignment of free variables to random values.
  8995   In contrast to 'refute', it can deal with inductive datatypes,
  8996   but cannot handle quantifiers. See "HOL/ex/Quickcheck_Examples.thy"
  8997   for examples.
  8998 
  8999 
  9000 *** HOLCF ***
  9001 
  9002 * Streams now come with concatenation and are part of the HOLCF image
  9003 
  9004 
  9005 
  9006 New in Isabelle2003 (May 2003)
  9007 ------------------------------
  9008 
  9009 *** General ***
  9010 
  9011 * Provers/simplifier:
  9012 
  9013   - Completely reimplemented method simp (ML: Asm_full_simp_tac):
  9014     Assumptions are now subject to complete mutual simplification,
  9015     not just from left to right. The simplifier now preserves
  9016     the order of assumptions.
  9017 
  9018     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  9019 
  9020     -- simp sometimes diverges where the old version did
  9021        not, e.g. invoking simp on the goal
  9022 
  9023         [| P (f x); y = x; f x = f y |] ==> Q
  9024 
  9025        now gives rise to the infinite reduction sequence
  9026 
  9027         P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> P(f y) --(y = x)--> P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> ...
  9028 
  9029        Using "simp (asm_lr)" (ML: Asm_lr_simp_tac) instead often solves this
  9030        kind of problem.
  9031 
  9032     -- Tactics combining classical reasoner and simplification (such as auto)
  9033        are also affected by this change, because many of them rely on
  9034        simp. They may sometimes diverge as well or yield a different numbers
  9035        of subgoals. Try to use e.g. force, fastsimp, or safe instead of auto
  9036        in case of problems. Sometimes subsequent calls to the classical
  9037        reasoner will fail because a preceeding call to the simplifier too
  9038        eagerly simplified the goal, e.g. deleted redundant premises.
  9039 
  9040   - The simplifier trace now shows the names of the applied rewrite rules
  9041 
  9042   - You can limit the number of recursive invocations of the simplifier
  9043     during conditional rewriting (where the simplifie tries to solve the
  9044     conditions before applying the rewrite rule):
  9045     ML "simp_depth_limit := n"
  9046     where n is an integer. Thus you can force termination where previously
  9047     the simplifier would diverge.
  9048 
  9049   - Accepts free variables as head terms in congruence rules.  Useful in Isar.
  9050 
  9051   - No longer aborts on failed congruence proof.  Instead, the
  9052     congruence is ignored.
  9053 
  9054 * Pure: New generic framework for extracting programs from constructive
  9055   proofs. See HOL/Extraction.thy for an example instantiation, as well
  9056   as HOL/Extraction for some case studies.
  9057 
  9058 * Pure: The main goal of the proof state is no longer shown by default, only
  9059 the subgoals. This behaviour is controlled by a new flag.
  9060    PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Settings -> Show Main Goal
  9061 (ML: Proof.show_main_goal).
  9062 
  9063 * Pure: You can find all matching introduction rules for subgoal 1, i.e. all
  9064 rules whose conclusion matches subgoal 1:
  9065       PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Show me -> matching rules
  9066 The rules are ordered by how closely they match the subgoal.
  9067 In particular, rules that solve a subgoal outright are displayed first
  9068 (or rather last, the way they are printed).
  9069 (ML: ProofGeneral.print_intros())
  9070 
  9071 * Pure: New flag trace_unify_fail causes unification to print
  9072 diagnostic information (PG: in trace buffer) when it fails. This is
  9073 useful for figuring out why single step proofs like rule, erule or
  9074 assumption failed.
  9075 
  9076 * Pure: Locale specifications now produce predicate definitions
  9077 according to the body of text (covering assumptions modulo local
  9078 definitions); predicate "loc_axioms" covers newly introduced text,
  9079 while "loc" is cumulative wrt. all included locale expressions; the
  9080 latter view is presented only on export into the global theory
  9081 context; potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use "(open)" option to fall back
  9082 on the old view without predicates;
  9083 
  9084 * Pure: predefined locales "var" and "struct" are useful for sharing
  9085 parameters (as in CASL, for example); just specify something like
  9086 ``var x + var y + struct M'' as import;
  9087 
  9088 * Pure: improved thms_containing: proper indexing of facts instead of
  9089 raw theorems; check validity of results wrt. current name space;
  9090 include local facts of proof configuration (also covers active
  9091 locales), cover fixed variables in index; may use "_" in term
  9092 specification; an optional limit for the number of printed facts may
  9093 be given (the default is 40);
  9094 
  9095 * Pure: disallow duplicate fact bindings within new-style theory files
  9096 (batch-mode only);
  9097 
  9098 * Provers: improved induct method: assumptions introduced by case
  9099 "foo" are split into "foo.hyps" (from the rule) and "foo.prems" (from
  9100 the goal statement); "foo" still refers to all facts collectively;
  9101 
  9102 * Provers: the function blast.overloaded has been removed: all constants
  9103 are regarded as potentially overloaded, which improves robustness in exchange
  9104 for slight decrease in efficiency;
  9105 
  9106 * Provers/linorder: New generic prover for transitivity reasoning over
  9107 linear orders.  Note: this prover is not efficient!
  9108 
  9109 * Isar: preview of problems to finish 'show' now produce an error
  9110 rather than just a warning (in interactive mode);
  9111 
  9112 
  9113 *** HOL ***
  9114 
  9115 * arith(_tac)
  9116 
  9117  - Produces a counter example if it cannot prove a goal.
  9118    Note that the counter example may be spurious if the goal is not a formula
  9119    of quantifier-free linear arithmetic.
  9120    In ProofGeneral the counter example appears in the trace buffer.
  9121 
  9122  - Knows about div k and mod k where k is a numeral of type nat or int.
  9123 
  9124  - Calls full Presburger arithmetic (by Amine Chaieb) if quantifier-free
  9125    linear arithmetic fails. This takes account of quantifiers and divisibility.
  9126    Presburger arithmetic can also be called explicitly via presburger(_tac).
  9127 
  9128 * simp's arithmetic capabilities have been enhanced a bit: it now
  9129 takes ~= in premises into account (by performing a case split);
  9130 
  9131 * simp reduces "m*(n div m) + n mod m" to n, even if the two summands
  9132 are distributed over a sum of terms;
  9133 
  9134 * New tactic "trans_tac" and method "trans" instantiate
  9135 Provers/linorder.ML for axclasses "order" and "linorder" (predicates
  9136 "<=", "<" and "=").
  9137 
  9138 * function INCOMPATIBILITIES: Pi-sets have been redefined and moved from main
  9139 HOL to Library/FuncSet; constant "Fun.op o" is now called "Fun.comp";
  9140 
  9141 * 'typedef' command has new option "open" to suppress the set
  9142 definition;
  9143 
  9144 * functions Min and Max on finite sets have been introduced (theory
  9145 Finite_Set);
  9146 
  9147 * attribute [symmetric] now works for relations as well; it turns
  9148 (x,y) : R^-1 into (y,x) : R, and vice versa;
  9149 
  9150 * induct over a !!-quantified statement (say !!x1..xn):
  9151   each "case" automatically performs "fix x1 .. xn" with exactly those names.
  9152 
  9153 * Map: `empty' is no longer a constant but a syntactic abbreviation for
  9154 %x. None. Warning: empty_def now refers to the previously hidden definition
  9155 of the empty set.
  9156 
  9157 * Algebra: formalization of classical algebra.  Intended as base for
  9158 any algebraic development in Isabelle.  Currently covers group theory
  9159 (up to Sylow's theorem) and ring theory (Universal Property of
  9160 Univariate Polynomials).  Contributions welcome;
  9161 
  9162 * GroupTheory: deleted, since its material has been moved to Algebra;
  9163 
  9164 * Complex: new directory of the complex numbers with numeric constants,
  9165 nonstandard complex numbers, and some complex analysis, standard and
  9166 nonstandard (Jacques Fleuriot);
  9167 
  9168 * HOL-Complex: new image for analysis, replacing HOL-Real and HOL-Hyperreal;
  9169 
  9170 * Hyperreal: introduced Gauge integration and hyperreal logarithms (Jacques
  9171 Fleuriot);
  9172 
  9173 * Real/HahnBanach: updated and adapted to locales;
  9174 
  9175 * NumberTheory: added Gauss's law of quadratic reciprocity (by Avigad,
  9176 Gray and Kramer);
  9177 
  9178 * UNITY: added the Meier-Sanders theory of progress sets;
  9179 
  9180 * MicroJava: bytecode verifier and lightweight bytecode verifier
  9181 as abstract algorithms, instantiated to the JVM;
  9182 
  9183 * Bali: Java source language formalization. Type system, operational
  9184 semantics, axiomatic semantics. Supported language features:
  9185 classes, interfaces, objects,virtual methods, static methods,
  9186 static/instance fields, arrays, access modifiers, definite
  9187 assignment, exceptions.
  9188 
  9189 
  9190 *** ZF ***
  9191 
  9192 * ZF/Constructible: consistency proof for AC (Gdel's constructible
  9193 universe, etc.);
  9194 
  9195 * Main ZF: virtually all theories converted to new-style format;
  9196 
  9197 
  9198 *** ML ***
  9199 
  9200 * Pure: Tactic.prove provides sane interface for internal proofs;
  9201 omits the infamous "standard" operation, so this is more appropriate
  9202 than prove_goalw_cterm in many situations (e.g. in simprocs);
  9203 
  9204 * Pure: improved error reporting of simprocs;
  9205 
  9206 * Provers: Simplifier.simproc(_i) provides sane interface for setting
  9207 up simprocs;
  9208 
  9209 
  9210 *** Document preparation ***
  9211 
  9212 * uses \par instead of \\ for line breaks in theory text. This may
  9213 shift some page breaks in large documents. To get the old behaviour
  9214 use \renewcommand{\isanewline}{\mbox{}\\\mbox{}} in root.tex.
  9215 
  9216 * minimized dependencies of isabelle.sty and isabellesym.sty on
  9217 other packages
  9218 
  9219 * \<euro> now needs package babel/greek instead of marvosym (which
  9220 broke \Rightarrow)
  9221 
  9222 * normal size for \<zero>...\<nine> (uses \mathbf instead of
  9223 textcomp package)
  9224 
  9225 
  9226 
  9227 New in Isabelle2002 (March 2002)
  9228 --------------------------------
  9229 
  9230 *** Document preparation ***
  9231 
  9232 * greatly simplified document preparation setup, including more
  9233 graceful interpretation of isatool usedir -i/-d/-D options, and more
  9234 instructive isatool mkdir; users should basically be able to get
  9235 started with "isatool mkdir HOL Test && isatool make"; alternatively,
  9236 users may run a separate document processing stage manually like this:
  9237 "isatool usedir -D output HOL Test && isatool document Test/output";
  9238 
  9239 * theory dependency graph may now be incorporated into documents;
  9240 isatool usedir -g true will produce session_graph.eps/.pdf for use
  9241 with \includegraphics of LaTeX;
  9242 
  9243 * proper spacing of consecutive markup elements, especially text
  9244 blocks after section headings;
  9245 
  9246 * support bold style (for single symbols only), input syntax is like
  9247 this: "\<^bold>\<alpha>" or "\<^bold>A";
  9248 
  9249 * \<bullet> is now output as bold \cdot by default, which looks much
  9250 better in printed text;
  9251 
  9252 * added default LaTeX bindings for \<tturnstile> and \<TTurnstile>;
  9253 note that these symbols are currently unavailable in Proof General /
  9254 X-Symbol; new symbols \<zero>, \<one>, ..., \<nine>, and \<euro>;
  9255 
  9256 * isatool latex no longer depends on changed TEXINPUTS, instead
  9257 isatool document copies the Isabelle style files to the target
  9258 location;
  9259 
  9260 
  9261 *** Isar ***
  9262 
  9263 * Pure/Provers: improved proof by cases and induction;
  9264   - 'case' command admits impromptu naming of parameters (such as
  9265     "case (Suc n)");
  9266   - 'induct' method divinates rule instantiation from the inductive
  9267     claim; no longer requires excessive ?P bindings for proper
  9268     instantiation of cases;
  9269   - 'induct' method properly enumerates all possibilities of set/type
  9270     rules; as a consequence facts may be also passed through *type*
  9271     rules without further ado;
  9272   - 'induct' method now derives symbolic cases from the *rulified*
  9273     rule (before it used to rulify cases stemming from the internal
  9274     atomized version); this means that the context of a non-atomic
  9275     statement becomes is included in the hypothesis, avoiding the
  9276     slightly cumbersome show "PROP ?case" form;
  9277   - 'induct' may now use elim-style induction rules without chaining
  9278     facts, using ``missing'' premises from the goal state; this allows
  9279     rules stemming from inductive sets to be applied in unstructured
  9280     scripts, while still benefitting from proper handling of non-atomic
  9281     statements; NB: major inductive premises need to be put first, all
  9282     the rest of the goal is passed through the induction;
  9283   - 'induct' proper support for mutual induction involving non-atomic
  9284     rule statements (uses the new concept of simultaneous goals, see
  9285     below);
  9286   - append all possible rule selections, but only use the first
  9287     success (no backtracking);
  9288   - removed obsolete "(simplified)" and "(stripped)" options of methods;
  9289   - undeclared rule case names default to numbers 1, 2, 3, ...;
  9290   - added 'print_induct_rules' (covered by help item in recent Proof
  9291     General versions);
  9292   - moved induct/cases attributes to Pure, methods to Provers;
  9293   - generic method setup instantiated for FOL and HOL;
  9294 
  9295 * Pure: support multiple simultaneous goal statements, for example
  9296 "have a: A and b: B" (same for 'theorem' etc.); being a pure
  9297 meta-level mechanism, this acts as if several individual goals had
  9298 been stated separately; in particular common proof methods need to be
  9299 repeated in order to cover all claims; note that a single elimination
  9300 step is *not* sufficient to establish the two conjunctions, so this
  9301 fails:
  9302 
  9303   assume "A & B" then have A and B ..   (*".." fails*)
  9304 
  9305 better use "obtain" in situations as above; alternative refer to
  9306 multi-step methods like 'auto', 'simp_all', 'blast+' etc.;
  9307 
  9308 * Pure: proper integration with ``locales''; unlike the original
  9309 version by Florian Kammller, Isar locales package high-level proof
  9310 contexts rather than raw logical ones (e.g. we admit to include
  9311 attributes everywhere); operations on locales include merge and
  9312 rename; support for implicit arguments (``structures''); simultaneous
  9313 type-inference over imports and text; see also HOL/ex/Locales.thy for
  9314 some examples;
  9315 
  9316 * Pure: the following commands have been ``localized'', supporting a
  9317 target locale specification "(in name)": 'lemma', 'theorem',
  9318 'corollary', 'lemmas', 'theorems', 'declare'; the results will be
  9319 stored both within the locale and at the theory level (exported and
  9320 qualified by the locale name);
  9321 
  9322 * Pure: theory goals may now be specified in ``long'' form, with
  9323 ad-hoc contexts consisting of arbitrary locale elements. for example
  9324 ``lemma foo: fixes x assumes "A x" shows "B x"'' (local syntax and
  9325 definitions may be given, too); the result is a meta-level rule with
  9326 the context elements being discharged in the obvious way;
  9327 
  9328 * Pure: new proof command 'using' allows to augment currently used
  9329 facts after a goal statement ('using' is syntactically analogous to
  9330 'apply', but acts on the goal's facts only); this allows chained facts
  9331 to be separated into parts given before and after a claim, as in
  9332 ``from a and b have C using d and e <proof>'';
  9333 
  9334 * Pure: renamed "antecedent" case to "rule_context";
  9335 
  9336 * Pure: new 'judgment' command records explicit information about the
  9337 object-logic embedding (used by several tools internally); no longer
  9338 use hard-wired "Trueprop";
  9339 
  9340 * Pure: added 'corollary' command;
  9341 
  9342 * Pure: fixed 'token_translation' command;
  9343 
  9344 * Pure: removed obsolete 'exported' attribute;
  9345 
  9346 * Pure: dummy pattern "_" in is/let is now automatically lifted over
  9347 bound variables: "ALL x. P x --> Q x" (is "ALL x. _ --> ?C x")
  9348 supersedes more cumbersome ... (is "ALL x. _ x --> ?C x");
  9349 
  9350 * Pure: method 'atomize' presents local goal premises as object-level
  9351 statements (atomic meta-level propositions); setup controlled via
  9352 rewrite rules declarations of 'atomize' attribute; example
  9353 application: 'induct' method with proper rule statements in improper
  9354 proof *scripts*;
  9355 
  9356 * Pure: emulation of instantiation tactics (rule_tac, cut_tac, etc.)
  9357 now consider the syntactic context of assumptions, giving a better
  9358 chance to get type-inference of the arguments right (this is
  9359 especially important for locales);
  9360 
  9361 * Pure: "sorry" no longer requires quick_and_dirty in interactive
  9362 mode;
  9363 
  9364 * Pure/obtain: the formal conclusion "thesis", being marked as
  9365 ``internal'', may no longer be reference directly in the text;
  9366 potential INCOMPATIBILITY, may need to use "?thesis" in rare
  9367 situations;
  9368 
  9369 * Pure: generic 'sym' attribute which declares a rule both as pure
  9370 'elim?' and for the 'symmetric' operation;
  9371 
  9372 * Pure: marginal comments ``--'' may now occur just anywhere in the
  9373 text; the fixed correlation with particular command syntax has been
  9374 discontinued;
  9375 
  9376 * Pure: new method 'rules' is particularly well-suited for proof
  9377 search in intuitionistic logic; a bit slower than 'blast' or 'fast',
  9378 but often produces more compact proof terms with less detours;
  9379 
  9380 * Pure/Provers/classical: simplified integration with pure rule
  9381 attributes and methods; the classical "intro?/elim?/dest?"
  9382 declarations coincide with the pure ones; the "rule" method no longer
  9383 includes classically swapped intros; "intro" and "elim" methods no
  9384 longer pick rules from the context; also got rid of ML declarations
  9385 AddXIs/AddXEs/AddXDs; all of this has some potential for
  9386 INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9387 
  9388 * Provers/classical: attribute 'swapped' produces classical inversions
  9389 of introduction rules;
  9390 
  9391 * Provers/simplifier: 'simplified' attribute may refer to explicit
  9392 rules instead of full simplifier context; 'iff' attribute handles
  9393 conditional rules;
  9394 
  9395 * HOL: 'typedef' now allows alternative names for Rep/Abs morphisms;
  9396 
  9397 * HOL: 'recdef' now fails on unfinished automated proofs, use
  9398 "(permissive)" option to recover old behavior;
  9399 
  9400 * HOL: 'inductive' no longer features separate (collective) attributes
  9401 for 'intros' (was found too confusing);
  9402 
  9403 * HOL: properly declared induction rules less_induct and
  9404 wf_induct_rule;
  9405 
  9406 
  9407 *** HOL ***
  9408 
  9409 * HOL: moved over to sane numeral syntax; the new policy is as
  9410 follows:
  9411 
  9412   - 0 and 1 are polymorphic constants, which are defined on any
  9413   numeric type (nat, int, real etc.);
  9414 
  9415   - 2, 3, 4, ... and -1, -2, -3, ... are polymorphic numerals, based
  9416   binary representation internally;
  9417 
  9418   - type nat has special constructor Suc, and generally prefers Suc 0
  9419   over 1::nat and Suc (Suc 0) over 2::nat;
  9420 
  9421 This change may cause significant problems of INCOMPATIBILITY; here
  9422 are some hints on converting existing sources:
  9423 
  9424   - due to the new "num" token, "-0" and "-1" etc. are now atomic
  9425   entities, so expressions involving "-" (unary or binary minus) need
  9426   to be spaced properly;
  9427 
  9428   - existing occurrences of "1" may need to be constraint "1::nat" or
  9429   even replaced by Suc 0; similar for old "2";
  9430 
  9431   - replace "#nnn" by "nnn", and "#-nnn" by "-nnn";
  9432 
  9433   - remove all special provisions on numerals in proofs;
  9434 
  9435 * HOL: simp rules nat_number expand numerals on nat to Suc/0
  9436 representation (depends on bin_arith_simps in the default context);
  9437 
  9438 * HOL: symbolic syntax for x^2 (numeral 2);
  9439 
  9440 * HOL: the class of all HOL types is now called "type" rather than
  9441 "term"; INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt references to this type class
  9442 in axclass/classes, instance/arities, and (usually rare) occurrences
  9443 in typings (of consts etc.); internally the class is called
  9444 "HOL.type", ML programs should refer to HOLogic.typeS;
  9445 
  9446 * HOL/record package improvements:
  9447   - new derived operations "fields" to build a partial record section,
  9448     "extend" to promote a fixed record to a record scheme, and
  9449     "truncate" for the reverse; cf. theorems "xxx.defs", which are *not*
  9450     declared as simp by default;
  9451   - shared operations ("more", "fields", etc.) now need to be always
  9452     qualified) --- potential INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9453   - removed "make_scheme" operations (use "make" with "extend") --
  9454     INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9455   - removed "more" class (simply use "term") -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9456   - provides cases/induct rules for use with corresponding Isar
  9457     methods (for concrete records, record schemes, concrete more
  9458     parts, and schematic more parts -- in that order);
  9459   - internal definitions directly based on a light-weight abstract
  9460     theory of product types over typedef rather than datatype;
  9461 
  9462 * HOL: generic code generator for generating executable ML code from
  9463 specifications; specific support for HOL constructs such as inductive
  9464 datatypes and sets, as well as recursive functions; can be invoked
  9465 via 'generate_code' theory section;
  9466 
  9467 * HOL: canonical cases/induct rules for n-tuples (n = 3..7);
  9468 
  9469 * HOL: consolidated and renamed several theories.  In particular:
  9470         Ord.thy has been absorbed into HOL.thy
  9471         String.thy has been absorbed into List.thy
  9472 
  9473 * HOL: concrete setsum syntax "\<Sum>i:A. b" == "setsum (%i. b) A"
  9474 (beware of argument permutation!);
  9475 
  9476 * HOL: linorder_less_split superseded by linorder_cases;
  9477 
  9478 * HOL/List: "nodups" renamed to "distinct";
  9479 
  9480 * HOL: added "The" definite description operator; move Hilbert's "Eps"
  9481 to peripheral theory "Hilbert_Choice"; some INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  9482   - Ex_def has changed, now need to use some_eq_ex
  9483 
  9484 * HOL: made split_all_tac safe; EXISTING PROOFS MAY FAIL OR LOOP, so
  9485 in this (rare) case use:
  9486 
  9487   delSWrapper "split_all_tac"
  9488   addSbefore ("unsafe_split_all_tac", unsafe_split_all_tac)
  9489 
  9490 * HOL: added safe wrapper "split_conv_tac" to claset; EXISTING PROOFS
  9491 MAY FAIL;
  9492 
  9493 * HOL: introduced f^n = f o ... o f; warning: due to the limits of
  9494 Isabelle's type classes, ^ on functions and relations has too general
  9495 a domain, namely ('a * 'b) set and 'a => 'b; this means that it may be
  9496 necessary to attach explicit type constraints;
  9497 
  9498 * HOL/Relation: the prefix name of the infix "O" has been changed from
  9499 "comp" to "rel_comp"; INCOMPATIBILITY: a few theorems have been
  9500 renamed accordingly (eg "compI" -> "rel_compI").
  9501 
  9502 * HOL: syntax translations now work properly with numerals and records
  9503 expressions;
  9504 
  9505 * HOL: bounded abstraction now uses syntax "%" / "\<lambda>" instead
  9506 of "lam" -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9507 
  9508 * HOL: got rid of some global declarations (potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  9509 for ML tools): const "()" renamed "Product_Type.Unity", type "unit"
  9510 renamed "Product_Type.unit";
  9511 
  9512 * HOL: renamed rtrancl_into_rtrancl2 to converse_rtrancl_into_rtrancl
  9513 
  9514 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem "optionE" (use "option.exhaust", or
  9515 the "cases" method);
  9516 
  9517 * HOL/GroupTheory: group theory examples including Sylow's theorem (by
  9518 Florian Kammller);
  9519 
  9520 * HOL/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory format; several
  9521 parts turned into readable document, with proper Isar proof texts and
  9522 some explanations (by Gerwin Klein);
  9523 
  9524 * HOL-Real: added Complex_Numbers (by Gertrud Bauer);
  9525 
  9526 * HOL-Hyperreal is now a logic image;
  9527 
  9528 
  9529 *** HOLCF ***
  9530 
  9531 * Isar: consts/constdefs supports mixfix syntax for continuous
  9532 operations;
  9533 
  9534 * Isar: domain package adapted to new-style theory format, e.g. see
  9535 HOLCF/ex/Dnat.thy;
  9536 
  9537 * theory Lift: proper use of rep_datatype lift instead of ML hacks --
  9538 potential INCOMPATIBILITY; now use plain induct_tac instead of former
  9539 lift.induct_tac, always use UU instead of Undef;
  9540 
  9541 * HOLCF/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory;
  9542 
  9543 
  9544 *** ZF ***
  9545 
  9546 * Isar: proper integration of logic-specific tools and packages,
  9547 including theory commands '(co)inductive', '(co)datatype',
  9548 'rep_datatype', 'inductive_cases', as well as methods 'ind_cases',
  9549 'induct_tac', 'case_tac', and 'typecheck' (with attribute 'TC');
  9550 
  9551 * theory Main no longer includes AC; for the Axiom of Choice, base
  9552 your theory on Main_ZFC;
  9553 
  9554 * the integer library now covers quotients and remainders, with many
  9555 laws relating division to addition, multiplication, etc.;
  9556 
  9557 * ZF/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY is now available in ZF, giving a
  9558 typeless version of the formalism;
  9559 
  9560 * ZF/AC, Coind, IMP, Resid: updated and converted to new-style theory
  9561 format;
  9562 
  9563 * ZF/Induct: new directory for examples of inductive definitions,
  9564 including theory Multiset for multiset orderings; converted to
  9565 new-style theory format;
  9566 
  9567 * ZF: many new theorems about lists, ordinals, etc.;
  9568 
  9569 
  9570 *** General ***
  9571 
  9572 * Pure/kernel: meta-level proof terms (by Stefan Berghofer); reference
  9573 variable proof controls level of detail: 0 = no proofs (only oracle
  9574 dependencies), 1 = lemma dependencies, 2 = compact proof terms; see
  9575 also ref manual for further ML interfaces;
  9576 
  9577 * Pure/axclass: removed obsolete ML interface
  9578 goal_subclass/goal_arity;
  9579 
  9580 * Pure/syntax: new token syntax "num" for plain numerals (without "#"
  9581 of "xnum"); potential INCOMPATIBILITY, since -0, -1 etc. are now
  9582 separate tokens, so expressions involving minus need to be spaced
  9583 properly;
  9584 
  9585 * Pure/syntax: support non-oriented infixes, using keyword "infix"
  9586 rather than "infixl" or "infixr";
  9587 
  9588 * Pure/syntax: concrete syntax for dummy type variables admits genuine
  9589 sort constraint specifications in type inference; e.g. "x::_::foo"
  9590 ensures that the type of "x" is of sort "foo" (but not necessarily a
  9591 type variable);
  9592 
  9593 * Pure/syntax: print modes "type_brackets" and "no_type_brackets"
  9594 control output of nested => (types); the default behavior is
  9595 "type_brackets";
  9596 
  9597 * Pure/syntax: builtin parse translation for "_constify" turns valued
  9598 tokens into AST constants;
  9599 
  9600 * Pure/syntax: prefer later declarations of translations and print
  9601 translation functions; potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to reverse
  9602 multiple declarations for same syntax element constant;
  9603 
  9604 * Pure/show_hyps reset by default (in accordance to existing Isar
  9605 practice);
  9606 
  9607 * Provers/classical: renamed addaltern to addafter, addSaltern to
  9608 addSafter;
  9609 
  9610 * Provers/clasimp: ``iff'' declarations now handle conditional rules
  9611 as well;
  9612 
  9613 * system: tested support for MacOS X; should be able to get Isabelle +
  9614 Proof General to work in a plain Terminal after installing Poly/ML
  9615 (e.g. from the Isabelle distribution area) and GNU bash alone
  9616 (e.g. from http://www.apple.com); full X11, XEmacs and X-Symbol
  9617 support requires further installations, e.g. from
  9618 http://fink.sourceforge.net/);
  9619 
  9620 * system: support Poly/ML 4.1.1 (able to manage larger heaps);
  9621 
  9622 * system: reduced base memory usage by Poly/ML (approx. 20 MB instead
  9623 of 40 MB), cf. ML_OPTIONS;
  9624 
  9625 * system: Proof General keywords specification is now part of the
  9626 Isabelle distribution (see etc/isar-keywords.el);
  9627 
  9628 * system: support for persistent Proof General sessions (refrain from
  9629 outdating all loaded theories on startup); user may create writable
  9630 logic images like this: ``isabelle -q HOL Test'';
  9631 
  9632 * system: smart selection of Isabelle process versus Isabelle
  9633 interface, accommodates case-insensitive file systems (e.g. HFS+); may
  9634 run both "isabelle" and "Isabelle" even if file names are badly
  9635 damaged (executable inspects the case of the first letter of its own
  9636 name); added separate "isabelle-process" and "isabelle-interface";
  9637 
  9638 * system: refrain from any attempt at filtering input streams; no
  9639 longer support ``8bit'' encoding of old isabelle font, instead proper
  9640 iso-latin characters may now be used; the related isatools
  9641 "symbolinput" and "nonascii" have disappeared as well;
  9642 
  9643 * system: removed old "xterm" interface (the print modes "xterm" and
  9644 "xterm_color" are still available for direct use in a suitable
  9645 terminal);
  9646 
  9647 
  9648 
  9649 New in Isabelle99-2 (February 2001)
  9650 -----------------------------------
  9651 
  9652 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  9653 
  9654 * HOL: please note that theories in the Library and elsewhere often use the
  9655 new-style (Isar) format; to refer to their theorems in an ML script you must
  9656 bind them to ML identifers by e.g.      val thm_name = thm "thm_name";
  9657 
  9658 * HOL: inductive package no longer splits induction rule aggressively,
  9659 but only as far as specified by the introductions given; the old
  9660 format may be recovered via ML function complete_split_rule or attribute
  9661 'split_rule (complete)';
  9662 
  9663 * HOL: induct renamed to lfp_induct, lfp_Tarski to lfp_unfold,
  9664 gfp_Tarski to gfp_unfold;
  9665 
  9666 * HOL: contrapos, contrapos2 renamed to contrapos_nn, contrapos_pp;
  9667 
  9668 * HOL: infix "dvd" now has priority 50 rather than 70 (because it is a
  9669 relation); infix "^^" has been renamed "``"; infix "``" has been
  9670 renamed "`"; "univalent" has been renamed "single_valued";
  9671 
  9672 * HOL/Real: "rinv" and "hrinv" replaced by overloaded "inverse"
  9673 operation;
  9674 
  9675 * HOLCF: infix "`" has been renamed "$"; the symbol syntax is \<cdot>;
  9676 
  9677 * Isar: 'obtain' no longer declares "that" fact as simp/intro;
  9678 
  9679 * Isar/HOL: method 'induct' now handles non-atomic goals; as a
  9680 consequence, it is no longer monotonic wrt. the local goal context
  9681 (which is now passed through the inductive cases);
  9682 
  9683 * Document preparation: renamed standard symbols \<ll> to \<lless> and
  9684 \<gg> to \<ggreater>;
  9685 
  9686 
  9687 *** Document preparation ***
  9688 
  9689 * \isabellestyle{NAME} selects version of Isabelle output (currently
  9690 available: are "it" for near math-mode best-style output, "sl" for
  9691 slanted text style, and "tt" for plain type-writer; if no
  9692 \isabellestyle command is given, output is according to slanted
  9693 type-writer);
  9694 
  9695 * support sub/super scripts (for single symbols only), input syntax is
  9696 like this: "A\<^sup>*" or "A\<^sup>\<star>";
  9697 
  9698 * some more standard symbols; see Appendix A of the system manual for
  9699 the complete list of symbols defined in isabellesym.sty;
  9700 
  9701 * improved isabelle style files; more abstract symbol implementation
  9702 (should now use \isamath{...} and \isatext{...} in custom symbol
  9703 definitions);
  9704 
  9705 * antiquotation @{goals} and @{subgoals} for output of *dynamic* goals
  9706 state; Note that presentation of goal states does not conform to
  9707 actual human-readable proof documents.  Please do not include goal
  9708 states into document output unless you really know what you are doing!
  9709 
  9710 * proper indentation of antiquoted output with proportional LaTeX
  9711 fonts;
  9712 
  9713 * no_document ML operator temporarily disables LaTeX document
  9714 generation;
  9715 
  9716 * isatool unsymbolize tunes sources for plain ASCII communication;
  9717 
  9718 
  9719 *** Isar ***
  9720 
  9721 * Pure: Isar now suffers initial goal statements to contain unbound
  9722 schematic variables (this does not conform to actual readable proof
  9723 documents, due to unpredictable outcome and non-compositional proof
  9724 checking); users who know what they are doing may use schematic goals
  9725 for Prolog-style synthesis of proven results;
  9726 
  9727 * Pure: assumption method (an implicit finishing) now handles actual
  9728 rules as well;
  9729 
  9730 * Pure: improved 'obtain' --- moved to Pure, insert "that" into
  9731 initial goal, declare "that" only as Pure intro (only for single
  9732 steps); the "that" rule assumption may now be involved in implicit
  9733 finishing, thus ".." becomes a feasible for trivial obtains;
  9734 
  9735 * Pure: default proof step now includes 'intro_classes'; thus trivial
  9736 instance proofs may be performed by "..";
  9737 
  9738 * Pure: ?thesis / ?this / "..." now work for pure meta-level
  9739 statements as well;
  9740 
  9741 * Pure: more robust selection of calculational rules;
  9742 
  9743 * Pure: the builtin notion of 'finished' goal now includes the ==-refl
  9744 rule (as well as the assumption rule);
  9745 
  9746 * Pure: 'thm_deps' command visualizes dependencies of theorems and
  9747 lemmas, using the graph browser tool;
  9748 
  9749 * Pure: predict failure of "show" in interactive mode;
  9750 
  9751 * Pure: 'thms_containing' now takes actual terms as arguments;
  9752 
  9753 * HOL: improved method 'induct' --- now handles non-atomic goals
  9754 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY); tuned error handling;
  9755 
  9756 * HOL: cases and induct rules now provide explicit hints about the
  9757 number of facts to be consumed (0 for "type" and 1 for "set" rules);
  9758 any remaining facts are inserted into the goal verbatim;
  9759 
  9760 * HOL: local contexts (aka cases) may now contain term bindings as
  9761 well; the 'cases' and 'induct' methods new provide a ?case binding for
  9762 the result to be shown in each case;
  9763 
  9764 * HOL: added 'recdef_tc' command;
  9765 
  9766 * isatool convert assists in eliminating legacy ML scripts;
  9767 
  9768 
  9769 *** HOL ***
  9770 
  9771 * HOL/Library: a collection of generic theories to be used together
  9772 with main HOL; the theory loader path already includes this directory
  9773 by default; the following existing theories have been moved here:
  9774 HOL/Induct/Multiset, HOL/Induct/Acc (as Accessible_Part), HOL/While
  9775 (as While_Combinator), HOL/Lex/Prefix (as List_Prefix);
  9776 
  9777 * HOL/Unix: "Some aspects of Unix file-system security", a typical
  9778 modelling and verification task performed in Isabelle/HOL +
  9779 Isabelle/Isar + Isabelle document preparation (by Markus Wenzel).
  9780 
  9781 * HOL/Algebra: special summation operator SUM no longer exists, it has
  9782 been replaced by setsum; infix 'assoc' now has priority 50 (like
  9783 'dvd'); axiom 'one_not_zero' has been moved from axclass 'ring' to
  9784 'domain', this makes the theory consistent with mathematical
  9785 literature;
  9786 
  9787 * HOL basics: added overloaded operations "inverse" and "divide"
  9788 (infix "/"), syntax for generic "abs" operation, generic summation
  9789 operator \<Sum>;
  9790 
  9791 * HOL/typedef: simplified package, provide more useful rules (see also
  9792 HOL/subset.thy);
  9793 
  9794 * HOL/datatype: induction rule for arbitrarily branching datatypes is
  9795 now expressed as a proper nested rule (old-style tactic scripts may
  9796 require atomize_strip_tac to cope with non-atomic premises);
  9797 
  9798 * HOL: renamed theory "Prod" to "Product_Type", renamed "split" rule
  9799 to "split_conv" (old name still available for compatibility);
  9800 
  9801 * HOL: improved concrete syntax for strings (e.g. allows translation
  9802 rules with string literals);
  9803 
  9804 * HOL-Real-Hyperreal: this extends HOL-Real with the hyperreals
  9805  and Fleuriot's mechanization of analysis, including the transcendental
  9806  functions for the reals;
  9807 
  9808 * HOL/Real, HOL/Hyperreal: improved arithmetic simplification;
  9809 
  9810 
  9811 *** CTT ***
  9812 
  9813 * CTT: x-symbol support for Pi, Sigma, -->, : (membership); note that
  9814 "lam" is displayed as TWO lambda-symbols
  9815 
  9816 * CTT: theory Main now available, containing everything (that is, Bool
  9817 and Arith);
  9818 
  9819 
  9820 *** General ***
  9821 
  9822 * Pure: the Simplifier has been implemented properly as a derived rule
  9823 outside of the actual kernel (at last!); the overall performance
  9824 penalty in practical applications is about 50%, while reliability of
  9825 the Isabelle inference kernel has been greatly improved;
  9826 
  9827 * print modes "brackets" and "no_brackets" control output of nested =>
  9828 (types) and ==> (props); the default behaviour is "brackets";
  9829 
  9830 * Provers: fast_tac (and friends) now handle actual object-logic rules
  9831 as assumptions as well;
  9832 
  9833 * system: support Poly/ML 4.0;
  9834 
  9835 * system: isatool install handles KDE version 1 or 2;
  9836 
  9837 
  9838 
  9839 New in Isabelle99-1 (October 2000)
  9840 ----------------------------------
  9841 
  9842 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  9843 
  9844 * HOL: simplification of natural numbers is much changed; to partly
  9845 recover the old behaviour (e.g. to prevent n+n rewriting to #2*n)
  9846 issue the following ML commands:
  9847 
  9848   Delsimprocs Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.cancel_numerals;
  9849   Delsimprocs [Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.combine_numerals];
  9850 
  9851 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions; this is
  9852 controlled by "t.weak_case_cong" for each datatype t;
  9853 
  9854 * HOL: nat_less_induct renamed to less_induct;
  9855 
  9856 * HOL: systematic renaming of the SOME (Eps) rules, may use isatool
  9857 fixsome to patch .thy and .ML sources automatically;
  9858 
  9859   select_equality  -> some_equality
  9860   select_eq_Ex     -> some_eq_ex
  9861   selectI2EX       -> someI2_ex
  9862   selectI2         -> someI2
  9863   selectI          -> someI
  9864   select1_equality -> some1_equality
  9865   Eps_sym_eq       -> some_sym_eq_trivial
  9866   Eps_eq           -> some_eq_trivial
  9867 
  9868 * HOL: exhaust_tac on datatypes superceded by new generic case_tac;
  9869 
  9870 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem binding expand_if (refer to split_if
  9871 instead);
  9872 
  9873 * HOL: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' are now called
  9874 f.simps instead of f.rules;
  9875 
  9876 * HOL: qed_spec_mp now also handles bounded ALL as well;
  9877 
  9878 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded, so the type constraint ":: nat" may
  9879 sometimes be needed;
  9880 
  9881 * HOL: the constant for "f``x" is now "image" rather than "op ``";
  9882 
  9883 * HOL: the constant for "f-``x" is now "vimage" rather than "op -``";
  9884 
  9885 * HOL: the disjoint sum is now "<+>" instead of "Plus"; the cartesian
  9886 product is now "<*>" instead of "Times"; the lexicographic product is
  9887 now "<*lex*>" instead of "**";
  9888 
  9889 * HOL: theory Sexp is now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part
  9890 of main HOL, but was unused); better use HOL's datatype package;
  9891 
  9892 * HOL: removed "symbols" syntax for constant "override" of theory Map;
  9893 the old syntax may be recovered as follows:
  9894 
  9895   syntax (symbols)
  9896     override  :: "('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b)"
  9897       (infixl "\\<oplus>" 100)
  9898 
  9899 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
  9900 
  9901 * HOL/ML: even fewer consts are declared as global (see theories Ord,
  9902 Lfp, Gfp, WF); this only affects ML packages that refer to const names
  9903 internally;
  9904 
  9905 * HOL and ZF: syntax for quotienting wrt an equivalence relation
  9906 changed from A/r to A//r;
  9907 
  9908 * ZF: new treatment of arithmetic (nat & int) may break some old
  9909 proofs;
  9910 
  9911 * Isar: renamed some attributes (RS -> THEN, simplify -> simplified,
  9912 rulify -> rule_format, elimify -> elim_format, ...);
  9913 
  9914 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
  9915 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (in most cases, one
  9916 should have to change intro!! to intro? only); replaced "delrule" by
  9917 "rule del";
  9918 
  9919 * Isar/HOL: renamed "intrs" to "intros" in inductive definitions;
  9920 
  9921 * Provers: strengthened force_tac by using new first_best_tac;
  9922 
  9923 * LaTeX document preparation: several changes of isabelle.sty (see
  9924 lib/texinputs);
  9925 
  9926 
  9927 *** Document preparation ***
  9928 
  9929 * formal comments (text blocks etc.) in new-style theories may now
  9930 contain antiquotations of thm/prop/term/typ/text to be presented
  9931 according to latex print mode; concrete syntax is like this:
  9932 @{term[show_types] "f(x) = a + x"};
  9933 
  9934 * isatool mkdir provides easy setup of Isabelle session directories,
  9935 including proper document sources;
  9936 
  9937 * generated LaTeX sources are now deleted after successful run
  9938 (isatool document -c); may retain a copy somewhere else via -D option
  9939 of isatool usedir;
  9940 
  9941 * isatool usedir -D now lets isatool latex -o sty update the Isabelle
  9942 style files, achieving self-contained LaTeX sources and simplifying
  9943 LaTeX debugging;
  9944 
  9945 * old-style theories now produce (crude) LaTeX output as well;
  9946 
  9947 * browser info session directories are now self-contained (may be put
  9948 on WWW server seperately); improved graphs of nested sessions; removed
  9949 graph for 'all sessions';
  9950 
  9951 * several improvements in isabelle style files; \isabellestyle{it}
  9952 produces fake math mode output; \isamarkupheader is now \section by
  9953 default; see lib/texinputs/isabelle.sty etc.;
  9954 
  9955 
  9956 *** Isar ***
  9957 
  9958 * Isar/Pure: local results and corresponding term bindings are now
  9959 subject to Hindley-Milner polymorphism (similar to ML); this
  9960 accommodates incremental type-inference very nicely;
  9961 
  9962 * Isar/Pure: new derived language element 'obtain' supports
  9963 generalized existence reasoning;
  9964 
  9965 * Isar/Pure: new calculational elements 'moreover' and 'ultimately'
  9966 support accumulation of results, without applying any rules yet;
  9967 useful to collect intermediate results without explicit name
  9968 references, and for use with transitivity rules with more than 2
  9969 premises;
  9970 
  9971 * Isar/Pure: scalable support for case-analysis type proofs: new
  9972 'case' language element refers to local contexts symbolically, as
  9973 produced by certain proof methods; internally, case names are attached
  9974 to theorems as "tags";
  9975 
  9976 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'hide' removes declarations from
  9977 class/type/const name spaces;
  9978 
  9979 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'defs' supports option "(overloaded)" to
  9980 indicate potential overloading;
  9981 
  9982 * Isar/Pure: changed syntax of local blocks from {{ }} to { };
  9983 
  9984 * Isar/Pure: syntax of sorts made 'inner', i.e. have to write
  9985 "{a,b,c}" instead of {a,b,c};
  9986 
  9987 * Isar/Pure now provides its own version of intro/elim/dest
  9988 attributes; useful for building new logics, but beware of confusion
  9989 with the version in Provers/classical;
  9990 
  9991 * Isar/Pure: the local context of (non-atomic) goals is provided via
  9992 case name 'antecedent';
  9993 
  9994 * Isar/Pure: removed obsolete 'transfer' attribute (transfer of thms
  9995 to the current context is now done automatically);
  9996 
  9997 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'method_setup' provides a simple interface
  9998 for definining proof methods in ML;
  9999 
 10000 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
 10001 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (INCOMPATIBILITY, in
 10002 most cases, one should have to change intro!! to intro? only);
 10003 replaced "delrule" by "rule del";
 10004 
 10005 * Isar/Provers: new 'hypsubst' method, plain 'subst' method and
 10006 'symmetric' attribute (the latter supercedes [RS sym]);
 10007 
 10008 * Isar/Provers: splitter support (via 'split' attribute and 'simp'
 10009 method modifier); 'simp' method: 'only:' modifier removes loopers as
 10010 well (including splits);
 10011 
 10012 * Isar/Provers: Simplifier and Classical methods now support all kind
 10013 of modifiers used in the past, including 'cong', 'iff', etc.
 10014 
 10015 * Isar/Provers: added 'fastsimp' and 'clarsimp' methods (combination
 10016 of Simplifier and Classical reasoner);
 10017 
 10018 * Isar/HOL: new proof method 'cases' and improved version of 'induct'
 10019 now support named cases; major packages (inductive, datatype, primrec,
 10020 recdef) support case names and properly name parameters;
 10021 
 10022 * Isar/HOL: new transitivity rules for substitution in inequalities --
 10023 monotonicity conditions are extracted to be proven at end of
 10024 calculations;
 10025 
 10026 * Isar/HOL: removed 'case_split' thm binding, should use 'cases' proof
 10027 method anyway;
 10028 
 10029 * Isar/HOL: removed old expand_if = split_if; theorems if_splits =
 10030 split_if split_if_asm; datatype package provides theorems foo.splits =
 10031 foo.split foo.split_asm for each datatype;
 10032 
 10033 * Isar/HOL: tuned inductive package, rename "intrs" to "intros"
 10034 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY), emulation of mk_cases feature for proof
 10035 scripts: new 'inductive_cases' command and 'ind_cases' method; (Note:
 10036 use "(cases (simplified))" method in proper proof texts);
 10037 
 10038 * Isar/HOL: added global 'arith_split' attribute for 'arith' method;
 10039 
 10040 * Isar: names of theorems etc. may be natural numbers as well;
 10041 
 10042 * Isar: 'pr' command: optional arguments for goals_limit and
 10043 ProofContext.prems_limit; no longer prints theory contexts, but only
 10044 proof states;
 10045 
 10046 * Isar: diagnostic commands 'pr', 'thm', 'prop', 'term', 'typ' admit
 10047 additional print modes to be specified; e.g. "pr(latex)" will print
 10048 proof state according to the Isabelle LaTeX style;
 10049 
 10050 * Isar: improved support for emulating tactic scripts, including proof
 10051 methods 'rule_tac' etc., 'cut_tac', 'thin_tac', 'subgoal_tac',
 10052 'rename_tac', 'rotate_tac', 'tactic', and 'case_tac' / 'induct_tac'
 10053 (for HOL datatypes);
 10054 
 10055 * Isar: simplified (more robust) goal selection of proof methods: 1st
 10056 goal, all goals, or explicit goal specifier (tactic emulation); thus
 10057 'proof method scripts' have to be in depth-first order;
 10058 
 10059 * Isar: tuned 'let' syntax: replaced 'as' keyword by 'and';
 10060 
 10061 * Isar: removed 'help' command, which hasn't been too helpful anyway;
 10062 should instead use individual commands for printing items
 10063 (print_commands, print_methods etc.);
 10064 
 10065 * Isar: added 'nothing' --- the empty list of theorems;
 10066 
 10067 
 10068 *** HOL ***
 10069 
 10070 * HOL/MicroJava: formalization of a fragment of Java, together with a
 10071 corresponding virtual machine and a specification of its bytecode
 10072 verifier and a lightweight bytecode verifier, including proofs of
 10073 type-safety; by Gerwin Klein, Tobias Nipkow, David von Oheimb, and
 10074 Cornelia Pusch (see also the homepage of project Bali at
 10075 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Bali/);
 10076 
 10077 * HOL/Algebra: new theory of rings and univariate polynomials, by
 10078 Clemens Ballarin;
 10079 
 10080 * HOL/NumberTheory: fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, Chinese
 10081 Remainder Theorem, Fermat/Euler Theorem, Wilson's Theorem, by Thomas M
 10082 Rasmussen;
 10083 
 10084 * HOL/Lattice: fundamental concepts of lattice theory and order
 10085 structures, including duals, properties of bounds versus algebraic
 10086 laws, lattice operations versus set-theoretic ones, the Knaster-Tarski
 10087 Theorem for complete lattices etc.; may also serve as a demonstration
 10088 for abstract algebraic reasoning using axiomatic type classes, and
 10089 mathematics-style proof in Isabelle/Isar; by Markus Wenzel;
 10090 
 10091 * HOL/Prolog: a (bare-bones) implementation of Lambda-Prolog, by David
 10092 von Oheimb;
 10093 
 10094 * HOL/IMPP: extension of IMP with local variables and mutually
 10095 recursive procedures, by David von Oheimb;
 10096 
 10097 * HOL/Lambda: converted into new-style theory and document;
 10098 
 10099 * HOL/ex/Multiquote: example of multiple nested quotations and
 10100 anti-quotations -- basically a generalized version of de-Bruijn
 10101 representation; very useful in avoiding lifting of operations;
 10102 
 10103 * HOL/record: added general record equality rule to simpset; fixed
 10104 select-update simplification procedure to handle extended records as
 10105 well; admit "r" as field name;
 10106 
 10107 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded over the new sort "zero", allowing its use with
 10108 other numeric types and also as the identity of groups, rings, etc.;
 10109 
 10110 * HOL: new axclass plus_ac0 for addition with the AC-laws and 0 as identity.
 10111 Types nat and int belong to this axclass;
 10112 
 10113 * HOL: greatly improved simplification involving numerals of type nat, int, real:
 10114    (i + #8 + j) = Suc k simplifies to  #7 + (i + j) = k
 10115    i*j + k + j*#3*i     simplifies to  #4*(i*j) + k
 10116   two terms #m*u and #n*u are replaced by #(m+n)*u
 10117     (where #m, #n and u can implicitly be 1; this is simproc combine_numerals)
 10118   and the term/formula #m*u+x ~~ #n*u+y simplifies simplifies to #(m-n)+x ~~ y
 10119     or x ~~ #(n-m)+y, where ~~ is one of = < <= or - (simproc cancel_numerals);
 10120 
 10121 * HOL: meson_tac is available (previously in ex/meson.ML); it is a
 10122 powerful prover for predicate logic but knows nothing of clasets; see
 10123 ex/mesontest.ML and ex/mesontest2.ML for example applications;
 10124 
 10125 * HOL: new version of "case_tac" subsumes both boolean case split and
 10126 "exhaust_tac" on datatypes; INCOMPATIBILITY: exhaust_tac no longer
 10127 exists, may define val exhaust_tac = case_tac for ad-hoc portability;
 10128 
 10129 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions: only the
 10130 selector expression is simplified, but not the remaining arms; to
 10131 enable full simplification of case-expressions for datatype t, you may
 10132 remove t.weak_case_cong from the simpset, either globally (Delcongs
 10133 [thm"t.weak_case_cong"];) or locally (delcongs [...]).
 10134 
 10135 * HOL/recdef: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' for
 10136 function 'f' are now called f.simps instead of f.rules; if all
 10137 termination conditions are proved automatically, these simplification
 10138 rules are added to the simpset, as in primrec; rules may be named
 10139 individually as well, resulting in a separate list of theorems for
 10140 each equation;
 10141 
 10142 * HOL/While is a new theory that provides a while-combinator. It
 10143 permits the definition of tail-recursive functions without the
 10144 provision of a termination measure. The latter is necessary once the
 10145 invariant proof rule for while is applied.
 10146 
 10147 * HOL: new (overloaded) notation for the set of elements below/above
 10148 some element: {..u}, {..u(}, {l..}, {)l..}. See theory SetInterval.
 10149 
 10150 * HOL: theorems impI, allI, ballI bound as "strip";
 10151 
 10152 * HOL: new tactic induct_thm_tac: thm -> string -> int -> tactic
 10153 induct_tac th "x1 ... xn" expects th to have a conclusion of the form
 10154 P v1 ... vn and abbreviates res_inst_tac [("v1","x1"),...,("vn","xn")] th;
 10155 
 10156 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
 10157 
 10158 * HOL: theory Sexp now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part of
 10159 main HOL, but was unused);
 10160 
 10161 * HOL: fewer consts declared as global (e.g. have to refer to
 10162 "Lfp.lfp" instead of "lfp" internally; affects ML packages only);
 10163 
 10164 * HOL: tuned AST representation of nested pairs, avoiding bogus output
 10165 in case of overlap with user translations (e.g. judgements over
 10166 tuples); (note that the underlying logical represenation is still
 10167 bogus);
 10168 
 10169 
 10170 *** ZF ***
 10171 
 10172 * ZF: simplification automatically cancels common terms in arithmetic
 10173 expressions over nat and int;
 10174 
 10175 * ZF: new treatment of nat to minimize type-checking: all operators
 10176 coerce their operands to a natural number using the function natify,
 10177 making the algebraic laws unconditional;
 10178 
 10179 * ZF: as above, for int: operators coerce their operands to an integer
 10180 using the function intify;
 10181 
 10182 * ZF: the integer library now contains many of the usual laws for the
 10183 orderings, including $<=, and monotonicity laws for $+ and $*;
 10184 
 10185 * ZF: new example ZF/ex/NatSum to demonstrate integer arithmetic
 10186 simplification;
 10187 
 10188 * FOL and ZF: AddIffs now available, giving theorems of the form P<->Q
 10189 to the simplifier and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 10190 
 10191 
 10192 *** General ***
 10193 
 10194 * Provers: blast_tac now handles actual object-logic rules as
 10195 assumptions; note that auto_tac uses blast_tac internally as well;
 10196 
 10197 * Provers: new functions rulify/rulify_no_asm: thm -> thm for turning
 10198 outer -->/All/Ball into ==>/!!; qed_spec_mp now uses rulify_no_asm;
 10199 
 10200 * Provers: delrules now handles destruct rules as well (no longer need
 10201 explicit make_elim);
 10202 
 10203 * Provers: Blast_tac now warns of and ignores "weak elimination rules" e.g.
 10204   [| inj ?f;          ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
 10205 use instead the strong form,
 10206   [| inj ?f; ~ ?W ==> ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
 10207 in HOL, FOL and ZF the function cla_make_elim will create such rules
 10208 from destruct-rules;
 10209 
 10210 * Provers: Simplifier.easy_setup provides a fast path to basic
 10211 Simplifier setup for new object-logics;
 10212 
 10213 * Pure: AST translation rules no longer require constant head on LHS;
 10214 
 10215 * Pure: improved name spaces: ambiguous output is qualified; support
 10216 for hiding of names;
 10217 
 10218 * system: smart setup of canonical ML_HOME, ISABELLE_INTERFACE, and
 10219 XSYMBOL_HOME; no longer need to do manual configuration in most
 10220 situations;
 10221 
 10222 * system: compression of ML heaps images may now be controlled via -c
 10223 option of isabelle and isatool usedir (currently only observed by
 10224 Poly/ML);
 10225 
 10226 * system: isatool installfonts may handle X-Symbol fonts as well (very
 10227 useful for remote X11);
 10228 
 10229 * system: provide TAGS file for Isabelle sources;
 10230 
 10231 * ML: infix 'OF' is a version of 'MRS' with more appropriate argument
 10232 order;
 10233 
 10234 * ML: renamed flags Syntax.trace_norm_ast to Syntax.trace_ast; global
 10235 timing flag supersedes proof_timing and Toplevel.trace;
 10236 
 10237 * ML: new combinators |>> and |>>> for incremental transformations
 10238 with secondary results (e.g. certain theory extensions):
 10239 
 10240 * ML: PureThy.add_defs gets additional argument to indicate potential
 10241 overloading (usually false);
 10242 
 10243 * ML: PureThy.add_thms/add_axioms/add_defs now return theorems as
 10244 results;
 10245 
 10246 
 10247 
 10248 New in Isabelle99 (October 1999)
 10249 --------------------------------
 10250 
 10251 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 10252 
 10253 * HOL: The THEN and ELSE parts of conditional expressions (if P then x else y)
 10254 are no longer simplified.  (This allows the simplifier to unfold recursive
 10255 functional programs.)  To restore the old behaviour, declare
 10256 
 10257     Delcongs [if_weak_cong];
 10258 
 10259 * HOL: Removed the obsolete syntax "Compl A"; use -A for set
 10260 complement;
 10261 
 10262 * HOL: the predicate "inj" is now defined by translation to "inj_on";
 10263 
 10264 * HOL/datatype: mutual_induct_tac no longer exists --
 10265   use induct_tac "x_1 ... x_n" instead of mutual_induct_tac ["x_1", ..., "x_n"]
 10266 
 10267 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
 10268 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
 10269 
 10270 * ZF: The con_defs part of an inductive definition may no longer refer
 10271 to constants declared in the same theory;
 10272 
 10273 * HOL, ZF: the function mk_cases, generated by the inductive
 10274 definition package, has lost an argument.  To simplify its result, it
 10275 uses the default simpset instead of a supplied list of theorems.
 10276 
 10277 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
 10278 
 10279 * Simplifier: the type of the infix ML functions
 10280         setSSolver addSSolver setSolver addSolver
 10281 is now  simpset * solver -> simpset  where `solver' is a new abstract type
 10282 for packaging solvers. A solver is created via
 10283         mk_solver: string -> (thm list -> int -> tactic) -> solver
 10284 where the string argument is only a comment.
 10285 
 10286 
 10287 *** Proof tools ***
 10288 
 10289 * Provers/Arith/fast_lin_arith.ML contains a functor for creating a
 10290 decision procedure for linear arithmetic. Currently it is used for
 10291 types `nat', `int', and `real' in HOL (see below); it can, should and
 10292 will be instantiated for other types and logics as well.
 10293 
 10294 * The simplifier now accepts rewrite rules with flexible heads, eg
 10295      hom ?f ==> ?f(?x+?y) = ?f ?x + ?f ?y
 10296   They are applied like any rule with a non-pattern lhs, i.e. by first-order
 10297   matching.
 10298 
 10299 
 10300 *** General ***
 10301 
 10302 * New Isabelle/Isar subsystem provides an alternative to traditional
 10303 tactical theorem proving; together with the ProofGeneral/isar user
 10304 interface it offers an interactive environment for developing human
 10305 readable proof documents (Isar == Intelligible semi-automated
 10306 reasoning); for further information see isatool doc isar-ref,
 10307 src/HOL/Isar_examples and http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Isar/
 10308 
 10309 * improved and simplified presentation of theories: better HTML markup
 10310 (including colors), graph views in several sizes; isatool usedir now
 10311 provides a proper interface for user theories (via -P option); actual
 10312 document preparation based on (PDF)LaTeX is available as well (for
 10313 new-style theories only); see isatool doc system for more information;
 10314 
 10315 * native support for Proof General, both for classic Isabelle and
 10316 Isabelle/Isar;
 10317 
 10318 * ML function thm_deps visualizes dependencies of theorems and lemmas,
 10319 using the graph browser tool;
 10320 
 10321 * Isabelle manuals now also available as PDF;
 10322 
 10323 * theory loader rewritten from scratch (may not be fully
 10324 bug-compatible); old loadpath variable has been replaced by show_path,
 10325 add_path, del_path, reset_path functions; new operations such as
 10326 update_thy, touch_thy, remove_thy, use/update_thy_only (see also
 10327 isatool doc ref);
 10328 
 10329 * improved isatool install: option -k creates KDE application icon,
 10330 option -p DIR installs standalone binaries;
 10331 
 10332 * added ML_PLATFORM setting (useful for cross-platform installations);
 10333 more robust handling of platform specific ML images for SML/NJ;
 10334 
 10335 * the settings environment is now statically scoped, i.e. it is never
 10336 created again in sub-processes invoked from isabelle, isatool, or
 10337 Isabelle;
 10338 
 10339 * path element specification '~~' refers to '$ISABELLE_HOME';
 10340 
 10341 * in locales, the "assumes" and "defines" parts may be omitted if
 10342 empty;
 10343 
 10344 * new print_mode "xsymbols" for extended symbol support (e.g. genuine
 10345 long arrows);
 10346 
 10347 * new print_mode "HTML";
 10348 
 10349 * new flag show_tags controls display of tags of theorems (which are
 10350 basically just comments that may be attached by some tools);
 10351 
 10352 * Isamode 2.6 requires patch to accomodate change of Isabelle font
 10353 mode and goal output format:
 10354 
 10355 diff -r Isamode-2.6/elisp/isa-load.el Isamode/elisp/isa-load.el
 10356 244c244
 10357 <       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-msymbols" logic-name)
 10358 ---
 10359 >       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-misabelle_font" "-msymbols" logic-name)
 10360 diff -r Isabelle-2.6/elisp/isa-proofstate.el Isamode/elisp/isa-proofstate.el
 10361 181c181
 10362 < (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+$"
 10363 ---
 10364 > (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+"
 10365 
 10366 * function bind_thms stores lists of theorems (cf. bind_thm);
 10367 
 10368 * new shorthand tactics ftac, eatac, datac, fatac;
 10369 
 10370 * qed (and friends) now accept "" as result name; in that case the
 10371 theorem is not stored, but proper checks and presentation of the
 10372 result still apply;
 10373 
 10374 * theorem database now also indexes constants "Trueprop", "all",
 10375 "==>", "=="; thus thms_containing, findI etc. may retrieve more rules;
 10376 
 10377 
 10378 *** HOL ***
 10379 
 10380 ** HOL arithmetic **
 10381 
 10382 * There are now decision procedures for linear arithmetic over nat and
 10383 int:
 10384 
 10385 1. arith_tac copes with arbitrary formulae involving `=', `<', `<=',
 10386 `+', `-', `Suc', `min', `max' and numerical constants; other subterms
 10387 are treated as atomic; subformulae not involving type `nat' or `int'
 10388 are ignored; quantified subformulae are ignored unless they are
 10389 positive universal or negative existential. The tactic has to be
 10390 invoked by hand and can be a little bit slow. In particular, the
 10391 running time is exponential in the number of occurrences of `min' and
 10392 `max', and `-' on `nat'.
 10393 
 10394 2. fast_arith_tac is a cut-down version of arith_tac: it only takes
 10395 (negated) (in)equalities among the premises and the conclusion into
 10396 account (i.e. no compound formulae) and does not know about `min' and
 10397 `max', and `-' on `nat'. It is fast and is used automatically by the
 10398 simplifier.
 10399 
 10400 NB: At the moment, these decision procedures do not cope with mixed
 10401 nat/int formulae where the two parts interact, such as `m < n ==>
 10402 int(m) < int(n)'.
 10403 
 10404 * HOL/Numeral provides a generic theory of numerals (encoded
 10405 efficiently as bit strings); setup for types nat/int/real is in place;
 10406 INCOMPATIBILITY: since numeral syntax is now polymorphic, rather than
 10407 int, existing theories and proof scripts may require a few additional
 10408 type constraints;
 10409 
 10410 * integer division and remainder can now be performed on constant
 10411 arguments;
 10412 
 10413 * many properties of integer multiplication, division and remainder
 10414 are now available;
 10415 
 10416 * An interface to the Stanford Validity Checker (SVC) is available through the
 10417 tactic svc_tac.  Propositional tautologies and theorems of linear arithmetic
 10418 are proved automatically.  SVC must be installed separately, and its results
 10419 must be TAKEN ON TRUST (Isabelle does not check the proofs, but tags any
 10420 invocation of the underlying oracle).  For SVC see
 10421   http://verify.stanford.edu/SVC
 10422 
 10423 * IsaMakefile: the HOL-Real target now builds an actual image;
 10424 
 10425 
 10426 ** HOL misc **
 10427 
 10428 * HOL/Real/HahnBanach: the Hahn-Banach theorem for real vector spaces
 10429 (in Isabelle/Isar) -- by Gertrud Bauer;
 10430 
 10431 * HOL/BCV: generic model of bytecode verification, i.e. data-flow
 10432 analysis for assembly languages with subtypes;
 10433 
 10434 * HOL/TLA (Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions): major reorganization
 10435 -- avoids syntactic ambiguities and treats state, transition, and
 10436 temporal levels more uniformly; introduces INCOMPATIBILITIES due to
 10437 changed syntax and (many) tactics;
 10438 
 10439 * HOL/inductive: Now also handles more general introduction rules such
 10440   as "ALL y. (y, x) : r --> y : acc r ==> x : acc r"; monotonicity
 10441   theorems are now maintained within the theory (maintained via the
 10442   "mono" attribute);
 10443 
 10444 * HOL/datatype: Now also handles arbitrarily branching datatypes
 10445   (using function types) such as
 10446 
 10447   datatype 'a tree = Atom 'a | Branch "nat => 'a tree"
 10448 
 10449 * HOL/record: record_simproc (part of the default simpset) takes care
 10450 of selectors applied to updated records; record_split_tac is no longer
 10451 part of the default claset; update_defs may now be removed from the
 10452 simpset in many cases; COMPATIBILITY: old behavior achieved by
 10453 
 10454   claset_ref () := claset() addSWrapper record_split_wrapper;
 10455   Delsimprocs [record_simproc]
 10456 
 10457 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
 10458 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
 10459 
 10460 * HOL/recdef (TFL): 'congs' syntax now expects comma separated list of theorem
 10461 names rather than an ML expression;
 10462 
 10463 * HOL/defer_recdef (TFL): like recdef but the well-founded relation can be
 10464 supplied later.  Program schemes can be defined, such as
 10465     "While B C s = (if B s then While B C (C s) else s)"
 10466 where the well-founded relation can be chosen after B and C have been given.
 10467 
 10468 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
 10469 INCOMPATIBILITY: while [] and infix # syntax is still there, of
 10470 course, ML tools referring to List.list.op # etc. have to be adapted;
 10471 
 10472 * HOL_quantifiers flag superseded by "HOL" print mode, which is
 10473 disabled by default; run isabelle with option -m HOL to get back to
 10474 the original Gordon/HOL-style output;
 10475 
 10476 * HOL/Ord.thy: new bounded quantifier syntax (input only): ALL x<y. P,
 10477 ALL x<=y. P, EX x<y. P, EX x<=y. P;
 10478 
 10479 * HOL basic syntax simplified (more orthogonal): all variants of
 10480 All/Ex now support plain / symbolic / HOL notation; plain syntax for
 10481 Eps operator is provided as well: "SOME x. P[x]";
 10482 
 10483 * HOL/Sum.thy: sum_case has been moved to HOL/Datatype;
 10484 
 10485 * HOL/Univ.thy: infix syntax <*>, <+>, <**>, <+> eliminated and made
 10486 thus available for user theories;
 10487 
 10488 * HOLCF/IOA/Sequents: renamed 'Cons' to 'Consq' to avoid clash with
 10489 HOL/List; hardly an INCOMPATIBILITY since '>>' syntax is used all the
 10490 time;
 10491 
 10492 * HOL: new tactic smp_tac: int -> int -> tactic, which applies spec
 10493 several times and then mp;
 10494

 10497 
 10498 * the notation <<...>> is now available as a notation for sequences of
 10499 formulas;
 10500 
 10501 * the simplifier is now installed
 10502 
 10503 * the axiom system has been generalized (thanks to Soren Heilmann)
 10504 
 10505 * the classical reasoner now has a default rule database
 10506 
 10507 
 10508 *** ZF ***
 10509 
 10510 * new primrec section allows primitive recursive functions to be given
 10511 directly (as in HOL) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
 10512 
 10513 * new tactics induct_tac and exhaust_tac for induction (or case
 10514 analysis) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
 10515 
 10516 * the datatype declaration of type T now defines the recursor T_rec;
 10517 
 10518 * simplification automatically does freeness reasoning for datatype
 10519 constructors;
 10520 
 10521 * automatic type-inference, with AddTCs command to insert new
 10522 type-checking rules;
 10523 
 10524 * datatype introduction rules are now added as Safe Introduction rules
 10525 to the claset;
 10526 
 10527 * the syntax "if P then x else y" is now available in addition to
 10528 if(P,x,y);
 10529 
 10530 
 10531 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
 10532 
 10533 * tuned simplifier trace output; new flag debug_simp;
 10534 
 10535 * structures Vartab / Termtab (instances of TableFun) offer efficient
 10536 tables indexed by indexname_ord / term_ord (compatible with aconv);
 10537 
 10538 * AxClass.axclass_tac lost the theory argument;
 10539 
 10540 * tuned current_goals_markers semantics: begin / end goal avoids
 10541 printing empty lines;
 10542 
 10543 * removed prs and prs_fn hook, which was broken because it did not
 10544 include \n in its semantics, forcing writeln to add one
 10545 uncoditionally; replaced prs_fn by writeln_fn; consider std_output:
 10546 string -> unit if you really want to output text without newline;
 10547 
 10548 * Symbol.output subject to print mode; INCOMPATIBILITY: defaults to
 10549 plain output, interface builders may have to enable 'isabelle_font'
 10550 mode to get Isabelle font glyphs as before;
 10551 
 10552 * refined token_translation interface; INCOMPATIBILITY: output length
 10553 now of type real instead of int;
 10554 
 10555 * theory loader actions may be traced via new ThyInfo.add_hook
 10556 interface (see src/Pure/Thy/thy_info.ML); example application: keep
 10557 your own database of information attached to *whole* theories -- as
 10558 opposed to intra-theory data slots offered via TheoryDataFun;
 10559 
 10560 * proper handling of dangling sort hypotheses (at last!);
 10561 Thm.strip_shyps and Drule.strip_shyps_warning take care of removing
 10562 extra sort hypotheses that can be witnessed from the type signature;
 10563 the force_strip_shyps flag is gone, any remaining shyps are simply
 10564 left in the theorem (with a warning issued by strip_shyps_warning);
 10565 
 10566 
 10567 
 10568 New in Isabelle98-1 (October 1998)
 10569 ----------------------------------
 10570 
 10571 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 10572 
 10573 * several changes of automated proof tools;
 10574 
 10575 * HOL: major changes to the inductive and datatype packages, including
 10576 some minor incompatibilities of theory syntax;
 10577 
 10578 * HOL: renamed r^-1 to 'converse' from 'inverse'; 'inj_onto' is now
 10579 called `inj_on';
 10580 
 10581 * HOL: removed duplicate thms in Arith:
 10582   less_imp_add_less  should be replaced by  trans_less_add1
 10583   le_imp_add_le      should be replaced by  trans_le_add1
 10584 
 10585 * HOL: unary minus is now overloaded (new type constraints may be
 10586 required);
 10587 
 10588 * HOL and ZF: unary minus for integers is now #- instead of #~.  In
 10589 ZF, expressions such as n#-1 must be changed to n#- 1, since #-1 is
 10590 now taken as an integer constant.
 10591 
 10592 * Pure: ML function 'theory_of' renamed to 'theory';
 10593 
 10594 
 10595 *** Proof tools ***
 10596 
 10597 * Simplifier:
 10598   1. Asm_full_simp_tac is now more aggressive.
 10599      1. It will sometimes reorient premises if that increases their power to
 10600         simplify.
 10601      2. It does no longer proceed strictly from left to right but may also
 10602         rotate premises to achieve further simplification.
 10603      For compatibility reasons there is now Asm_lr_simp_tac which is like the
 10604      old Asm_full_simp_tac in that it does not rotate premises.
 10605   2. The simplifier now knows a little bit about nat-arithmetic.
 10606 
 10607 * Classical reasoner: wrapper mechanism for the classical reasoner now
 10608 allows for selected deletion of wrappers, by introduction of names for
 10609 wrapper functionals.  This implies that addbefore, addSbefore,
 10610 addaltern, and addSaltern now take a pair (name, tactic) as argument,
 10611 and that adding two tactics with the same name overwrites the first
 10612 one (emitting a warning).
 10613   type wrapper = (int -> tactic) -> (int -> tactic)
 10614   setWrapper, setSWrapper, compWrapper and compSWrapper are replaced by
 10615   addWrapper, addSWrapper: claset * (string * wrapper) -> claset
 10616   delWrapper, delSWrapper: claset *  string            -> claset
 10617   getWrapper is renamed to appWrappers, getSWrapper to appSWrappers;
 10618 
 10619 * Classical reasoner: addbefore/addSbefore now have APPEND/ORELSE
 10620 semantics; addbefore now affects only the unsafe part of step_tac
 10621 etc.; this affects addss/auto_tac/force_tac, so EXISTING PROOFS MAY
 10622 FAIL, but proofs should be fixable easily, e.g. by replacing Auto_tac
 10623 by Force_tac;
 10624 
 10625 * Classical reasoner: setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to
 10626 compWrapper; added safe wrapper (and access functions for it);
 10627 
 10628 * HOL/split_all_tac is now much faster and fails if there is nothing
 10629 to split.  Some EXISTING PROOFS MAY REQUIRE ADAPTION because the order
 10630 and the names of the automatically generated variables have changed.
 10631 split_all_tac has moved within claset() from unsafe wrappers to safe
 10632 wrappers, which means that !!-bound variables are split much more
 10633 aggressively, and safe_tac and clarify_tac now split such variables.
 10634 If this splitting is not appropriate, use delSWrapper "split_all_tac".
 10635 Note: the same holds for record_split_tac, which does the job of
 10636 split_all_tac for record fields.
 10637 
 10638 * HOL/Simplifier: Rewrite rules for case distinctions can now be added
 10639 permanently to the default simpset using Addsplits just like
 10640 Addsimps. They can be removed via Delsplits just like
 10641 Delsimps. Lower-case versions are also available.
 10642 
 10643 * HOL/Simplifier: The rule split_if is now part of the default
 10644 simpset. This means that the simplifier will eliminate all occurrences
 10645 of if-then-else in the conclusion of a goal. To prevent this, you can
 10646 either remove split_if completely from the default simpset by
 10647 `Delsplits [split_if]' or remove it in a specific call of the
 10648 simplifier using `... delsplits [split_if]'.  You can also add/delete
 10649 other case splitting rules to/from the default simpset: every datatype
 10650 generates suitable rules `split_t_case' and `split_t_case_asm' (where
 10651 t is the name of the datatype).
 10652 
 10653 * Classical reasoner / Simplifier combination: new force_tac (and
 10654 derivatives Force_tac, force) combines rewriting and classical
 10655 reasoning (and whatever other tools) similarly to auto_tac, but is
 10656 aimed to solve the given subgoal completely.
 10657 
 10658 
 10659 *** General ***
 10660 
 10661 * new top-level commands `Goal' and `Goalw' that improve upon `goal'
 10662 and `goalw': the theory is no longer needed as an explicit argument -
 10663 the current theory context is used; assumptions are no longer returned
 10664 at the ML-level unless one of them starts with ==> or !!; it is
 10665 recommended to convert to these new commands using isatool fixgoal
 10666 (backup your sources first!);
 10667 
 10668 * new top-level commands 'thm' and 'thms' for retrieving theorems from
 10669 the current theory context, and 'theory' to lookup stored theories;
 10670 
 10671 * new theory section 'locale' for declaring constants, assumptions and
 10672 definitions that have local scope;
 10673 
 10674 * new theory section 'nonterminals' for purely syntactic types;
 10675 
 10676 * new theory section 'setup' for generic ML setup functions
 10677 (e.g. package initialization);
 10678 
 10679 * the distribution now includes Isabelle icons: see
 10680 lib/logo/isabelle-{small,tiny}.xpm;
 10681 
 10682 * isatool install - install binaries with absolute references to
 10683 ISABELLE_HOME/bin;
 10684 
 10685 * isatool logo -- create instances of the Isabelle logo (as EPS);
 10686 
 10687 * print mode 'emacs' reserved for Isamode;
 10688 
 10689 * support multiple print (ast) translations per constant name;
 10690 
 10691 * theorems involving oracles are now printed with a suffixed [!];
 10692 
 10693 
 10694 *** HOL ***
 10695 
 10696 * there is now a tutorial on Isabelle/HOL (do 'isatool doc tutorial');
 10697 
 10698 * HOL/inductive package reorganized and improved: now supports mutual
 10699 definitions such as
 10700 
 10701   inductive EVEN ODD
 10702     intrs
 10703       null "0 : EVEN"
 10704       oddI "n : EVEN ==> Suc n : ODD"
 10705       evenI "n : ODD ==> Suc n : EVEN"
 10706 
 10707 new theorem list "elims" contains an elimination rule for each of the
 10708 recursive sets; inductive definitions now handle disjunctive premises
 10709 correctly (also ZF);
 10710 
 10711 INCOMPATIBILITIES: requires Inductive as an ancestor; component
 10712 "mutual_induct" no longer exists - the induction rule is always
 10713 contained in "induct";
 10714 
 10715 
 10716 * HOL/datatype package re-implemented and greatly improved: now
 10717 supports mutually recursive datatypes such as
 10718 
 10719   datatype
 10720     'a aexp = IF_THEN_ELSE ('a bexp) ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 10721             | SUM ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 10722             | DIFF ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 10723             | NUM 'a
 10724   and
 10725     'a bexp = LESS ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 10726             | AND ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
 10727             | OR ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
 10728 
 10729 as well as indirectly recursive datatypes such as
 10730 
 10731   datatype
 10732     ('a, 'b) term = Var 'a
 10733                   | App 'b ((('a, 'b) term) list)
 10734 
 10735 The new tactic  mutual_induct_tac [<var_1>, ..., <var_n>] i  performs
 10736 induction on mutually / indirectly recursive datatypes.
 10737 
 10738 Primrec equations are now stored in theory and can be accessed via
 10739 <function_name>.simps.
 10740 
 10741 INCOMPATIBILITIES:
 10742 
 10743   - Theories using datatypes must now have theory Datatype as an
 10744     ancestor.
 10745   - The specific <typename>.induct_tac no longer exists - use the
 10746     generic induct_tac instead.
 10747   - natE has been renamed to nat.exhaust - use exhaust_tac
 10748     instead of res_inst_tac ... natE. Note that the variable
 10749     names in nat.exhaust differ from the names in natE, this
 10750     may cause some "fragile" proofs to fail.
 10751   - The theorems split_<typename>_case and split_<typename>_case_asm
 10752     have been renamed to <typename>.split and <typename>.split_asm.
 10753   - Since default sorts of type variables are now handled correctly,
 10754     some datatype definitions may have to be annotated with explicit
 10755     sort constraints.
 10756   - Primrec definitions no longer require function name and type
 10757     of recursive argument.
 10758 
 10759 Consider using isatool fixdatatype to adapt your theories and proof
 10760 scripts to the new package (backup your sources first!).
 10761 
 10762 
 10763 * HOL/record package: considerably improved implementation; now
 10764 includes concrete syntax for record types, terms, updates; theorems
 10765 for surjective pairing and splitting !!-bound record variables; proof
 10766 support is as follows:
 10767 
 10768   1) standard conversions (selectors or updates applied to record
 10769 constructor terms) are part of the standard simpset;
 10770 
 10771   2) inject equations of the form ((x, y) = (x', y')) == x=x' & y=y' are
 10772 made part of standard simpset and claset via addIffs;
 10773 
 10774   3) a tactic for record field splitting (record_split_tac) is part of
 10775 the standard claset (addSWrapper);
 10776 
 10777 To get a better idea about these rules you may retrieve them via
 10778 something like 'thms "foo.simps"' or 'thms "foo.iffs"', where "foo" is
 10779 the name of your record type.
 10780 
 10781 The split tactic 3) conceptually simplifies by the following rule:
 10782 
 10783   "(!!x. PROP ?P x) == (!!a b. PROP ?P (a, b))"
 10784 
 10785 Thus any record variable that is bound by meta-all will automatically
 10786 blow up into some record constructor term, consequently the
 10787 simplifications of 1), 2) apply.  Thus force_tac, auto_tac etc. shall
 10788 solve record problems automatically.
 10789 
 10790 
 10791 * reorganized the main HOL image: HOL/Integ and String loaded by
 10792 default; theory Main includes everything;
 10793 
 10794 * automatic simplification of integer sums and comparisons, using cancellation;
 10795 
 10796 * added option_map_eq_Some and not_Some_eq to the default simpset and claset;
 10797 
 10798 * added disj_not1 = "(~P | Q) = (P --> Q)" to the default simpset;
 10799 
 10800 * many new identities for unions, intersections, set difference, etc.;
 10801 
 10802 * expand_if, expand_split, expand_sum_case and expand_nat_case are now
 10803 called split_if, split_split, split_sum_case and split_nat_case (to go
 10804 with add/delsplits);
 10805 
 10806 * HOL/Prod introduces simplification procedure unit_eq_proc rewriting
 10807 (?x::unit) = (); this is made part of the default simpset, which COULD
 10808 MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL under rare circumstances (consider
 10809 'Delsimprocs [unit_eq_proc];' as last resort); also note that
 10810 unit_abs_eta_conv is added in order to counter the effect of
 10811 unit_eq_proc on (%u::unit. f u), replacing it by f rather than by
 10812 %u.f();
 10813 
 10814 * HOL/Fun INCOMPATIBILITY: `inj_onto' is now called `inj_on' (which
 10815 makes more sense);
 10816 
 10817 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 10818   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 10819   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 10820 
 10821 * HOL/Relation INCOMPATIBILITY: renamed the relational operator r^-1
 10822 to 'converse' from 'inverse' (for compatibility with ZF and some
 10823 literature);
 10824 
 10825 * HOL/recdef can now declare non-recursive functions, with {} supplied as
 10826 the well-founded relation;
 10827 
 10828 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: the complement of set A is now written -A instead of
 10829     Compl A.  The "Compl" syntax remains available as input syntax for this
 10830     release ONLY.
 10831 
 10832 * HOL/Update: new theory of function updates:
 10833     f(a:=b) == %x. if x=a then b else f x
 10834 may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 10835 
 10836 * HOL/Vimage: new theory for inverse image of a function, syntax f-``B;
 10837 
 10838 * HOL/List:
 10839   - new function list_update written xs[i:=v] that updates the i-th
 10840     list position. May also be iterated as in xs[i:=a,j:=b,...].
 10841   - new function `upt' written [i..j(] which generates the list
 10842     [i,i+1,...,j-1], i.e. the upper bound is excluded. To include the upper
 10843     bound write [i..j], which is a shorthand for [i..j+1(].
 10844   - new lexicographic orderings and corresponding wellfoundedness theorems.
 10845 
 10846 * HOL/Arith:
 10847   - removed 'pred' (predecessor) function;
 10848   - generalized some theorems about n-1;
 10849   - many new laws about "div" and "mod";
 10850   - new laws about greatest common divisors (see theory ex/Primes);
 10851 
 10852 * HOL/Relation: renamed the relational operator r^-1 "converse"
 10853 instead of "inverse";
 10854 
 10855 * HOL/Induct/Multiset: a theory of multisets, including the wellfoundedness
 10856   of the multiset ordering;
 10857 
 10858 * directory HOL/Real: a construction of the reals using Dedekind cuts
 10859   (not included by default);
 10860 
 10861 * directory HOL/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY formalism;
 10862 
 10863 * directory HOL/Hoare: a new version of Hoare logic which permits many-sorted
 10864   programs, i.e. different program variables may have different types.
 10865 
 10866 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 10867   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 10868   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 10869 
 10870 
 10871 *** ZF ***
 10872 
 10873 * theory Main includes everything; INCOMPATIBILITY: theory ZF.thy contains
 10874   only the theorems proved on ZF.ML;
 10875 
 10876 * ZF INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 10877   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 10878   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 10879 
 10880 * ZF/Update: new theory of function updates
 10881     with default rewrite rule  f(x:=y) ` z = if(z=x, y, f`z)
 10882   may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 10883 
 10884 * in  let x=t in u(x), neither t nor u(x) has to be an FOL term.
 10885 
 10886 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 10887   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 10888   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 10889 
 10890 * case_tac provided for compatibility with HOL
 10891     (like the old excluded_middle_tac, but with subgoals swapped)
 10892 
 10893 
 10894 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
 10895 
 10896 * Pure: several new basic modules made available for general use, see
 10897 also src/Pure/README;
 10898 
 10899 * improved the theory data mechanism to support encapsulation (data
 10900 kind name replaced by private Object.kind, acting as authorization
 10901 key); new type-safe user interface via functor TheoryDataFun; generic
 10902 print_data function becomes basically useless;
 10903 
 10904 * removed global_names compatibility flag -- all theory declarations
 10905 are qualified by default;
 10906 
 10907 * module Pure/Syntax now offers quote / antiquote translation
 10908 functions (useful for Hoare logic etc. with implicit dependencies);
 10909 see HOL/ex/Antiquote for an example use;
 10910 
 10911 * Simplifier now offers conversions (asm_)(full_)rewrite: simpset ->
 10912 cterm -> thm;
 10913 
 10914 * new tactical CHANGED_GOAL for checking that a tactic modifies a
 10915 subgoal;
 10916 
 10917 * Display.print_goals function moved to Locale.print_goals;
 10918 
 10919 * standard print function for goals supports current_goals_markers
 10920 variable for marking begin of proof, end of proof, start of goal; the
 10921 default is ("", "", ""); setting current_goals_markers := ("<proof>",
 10922 "</proof>", "<goal>") causes SGML like tagged proof state printing,
 10923 for example;
 10924 
 10925 
 10926 
 10927 New in Isabelle98 (January 1998)
 10928 --------------------------------
 10929 
 10930 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 10931 
 10932 * changed lexical syntax of terms / types: dots made part of long
 10933 identifiers, e.g. "%x.x" no longer possible, should be "%x. x";
 10934 
 10935 * simpset (and claset) reference variable replaced by functions
 10936 simpset / simpset_ref;
 10937 
 10938 * no longer supports theory aliases (via merge) and non-trivial
 10939 implicit merge of thms' signatures;
 10940 
 10941 * most internal names of constants changed due to qualified names;
 10942 
 10943 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML);
 10944 
 10945 
 10946 *** General Changes ***
 10947 
 10948 * hierachically structured name spaces (for consts, types, axms, thms
 10949 etc.); new lexical class 'longid' (e.g. Foo.bar.x) may render much of
 10950 old input syntactically incorrect (e.g. "%x.x"); COMPATIBILITY:
 10951 isatool fixdots ensures space after dots (e.g. "%x. x"); set
 10952 long_names for fully qualified output names; NOTE: ML programs
 10953 (special tactics, packages etc.) referring to internal names may have
 10954 to be adapted to cope with fully qualified names; in case of severe
 10955 backward campatibility problems try setting 'global_names' at compile
 10956 time to have enrything declared within a flat name space; one may also
 10957 fine tune name declarations in theories via the 'global' and 'local'
 10958 section;
 10959 
 10960 * reimplemented the implicit simpset and claset using the new anytype
 10961 data filed in signatures; references simpset:simpset ref etc. are
 10962 replaced by functions simpset:unit->simpset and
 10963 simpset_ref:unit->simpset ref; COMPATIBILITY: use isatool fixclasimp
 10964 to patch your ML files accordingly;
 10965 
 10966 * HTML output now includes theory graph data for display with Java
 10967 applet or isatool browser; data generated automatically via isatool
 10968 usedir (see -i option, ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS);
 10969 
 10970 * defs may now be conditional; improved rewrite_goals_tac to handle
 10971 conditional equations;
 10972 
 10973 * defs now admits additional type arguments, using TYPE('a) syntax;
 10974 
 10975 * theory aliases via merge (e.g. M=A+B+C) no longer supported, always
 10976 creates a new theory node; implicit merge of thms' signatures is
 10977 restricted to 'trivial' ones; COMPATIBILITY: one may have to use
 10978 transfer:theory->thm->thm in (rare) cases;
 10979 
 10980 * improved handling of draft signatures / theories; draft thms (and
 10981 ctyps, cterms) are automatically promoted to real ones;
 10982 
 10983 * slightly changed interfaces for oracles: admit many per theory, named
 10984 (e.g. oracle foo = mlfun), additional name argument for invoke_oracle;
 10985 
 10986 * print_goals: optional output of const types (set show_consts and
 10987 show_types);
 10988 
 10989 * improved output of warnings (###) and errors (***);
 10990 
 10991 * subgoal_tac displays a warning if the new subgoal has type variables;
 10992 
 10993 * removed old README and Makefiles;
 10994 
 10995 * replaced print_goals_ref hook by print_current_goals_fn and result_error_fn;
 10996 
 10997 * removed obsolete init_pps and init_database;
 10998 
 10999 * deleted the obsolete tactical STATE, which was declared by
 11000     fun STATE tacfun st = tacfun st st;
 11001 
 11002 * cd and use now support path variables, e.g. $ISABELLE_HOME, or ~
 11003 (which abbreviates $HOME);
 11004 
 11005 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML); COMPATIBILITY:
 11006 use isatool fixseq to adapt your ML programs (this works for fully
 11007 qualified references to the Sequence structure only!);
 11008 
 11009 * use_thy no longer requires writable current directory; it always
 11010 reloads .ML *and* .thy file, if either one is out of date;
 11011 
 11012 
 11013 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 11014 
 11015 * Clarify_tac, clarify_tac, clarify_step_tac, Clarify_step_tac: new
 11016 tactics that use classical reasoning to simplify a subgoal without
 11017 splitting it into several subgoals;
 11018 
 11019 * Safe_tac: like safe_tac but uses the default claset;
 11020 
 11021 
 11022 *** Simplifier ***
 11023 
 11024 * added simplification meta rules:
 11025     (asm_)(full_)simplify: simpset -> thm -> thm;
 11026 
 11027 * simplifier.ML no longer part of Pure -- has to be loaded by object
 11028 logics (again);
 11029 
 11030 * added prems argument to simplification procedures;
 11031 
 11032 * HOL, FOL, ZF: added infix function `addsplits':
 11033   instead of `<simpset> setloop (split_tac <thms>)'
 11034   you can simply write `<simpset> addsplits <thms>'
 11035 
 11036 
 11037 *** Syntax ***
 11038 
 11039 * TYPE('a) syntax for type reflection terms;
 11040 
 11041 * no longer handles consts with name "" -- declare as 'syntax' instead;
 11042 
 11043 * pretty printer: changed order of mixfix annotation preference (again!);
 11044 
 11045 * Pure: fixed idt/idts vs. pttrn/pttrns syntactic categories;
 11046 
 11047 
 11048 *** HOL ***
 11049 
 11050 * HOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 11051   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 11052 
 11053 * HOL/TLA: Stephan Merz's formalization of Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions;
 11054 
 11055 * HOL/Auth: new protocol proofs including some for the Internet
 11056   protocol TLS;
 11057 
 11058 * HOL/Map: new theory of `maps' a la VDM;
 11059 
 11060 * HOL/simplifier: simplification procedures nat_cancel_sums for
 11061 cancelling out common nat summands from =, <, <= (in)equalities, or
 11062 differences; simplification procedures nat_cancel_factor for
 11063 cancelling common factor from =, <, <= (in)equalities over natural
 11064 sums; nat_cancel contains both kinds of procedures, it is installed by
 11065 default in Arith.thy -- this COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL;
 11066 
 11067 * HOL/simplifier: terms of the form
 11068   `? x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x)'  (or t=x)
 11069   are rewritten to
 11070   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t)',
 11071   and those of the form
 11072   `! x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x) --> R(x)'  (or t=x)
 11073   are rewritten to
 11074   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t) --> R(t)',
 11075 
 11076 * HOL/datatype
 11077   Each datatype `t' now comes with a theorem `split_t_case' of the form
 11078 
 11079   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 11080      ( (!y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 --> P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) &
 11081         ...
 11082        (!y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn --> P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 11083      )
 11084 
 11085   and a theorem `split_t_case_asm' of the form
 11086 
 11087   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 11088     ~( (? y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 & ~P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) |
 11089         ...
 11090        (? y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn & ~P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 11091      )
 11092   which can be added to a simpset via `addsplits'. The existing theorems
 11093   expand_list_case and expand_option_case have been renamed to
 11094   split_list_case and split_option_case.
 11095 
 11096 * HOL/Arithmetic:
 11097   - `pred n' is automatically converted to `n-1'.
 11098     Users are strongly encouraged not to use `pred' any longer,
 11099     because it will disappear altogether at some point.
 11100   - Users are strongly encouraged to write "0 < n" rather than
 11101     "n ~= 0". Theorems and proof tools have been modified towards this
 11102     `standard'.
 11103 
 11104 * HOL/Lists:
 11105   the function "set_of_list" has been renamed "set" (and its theorems too);
 11106   the function "nth" now takes its arguments in the reverse order and
 11107   has acquired the infix notation "!" as in "xs!n".
 11108 
 11109 * HOL/Set: UNIV is now a constant and is no longer translated to Compl{};
 11110 
 11111 * HOL/Set: The operator (UN x.B x) now abbreviates (UN x:UNIV. B x) and its
 11112   specialist theorems (like UN1_I) are gone.  Similarly for (INT x.B x);
 11113 
 11114 * HOL/record: extensible records with schematic structural subtyping
 11115 (single inheritance); EXPERIMENTAL version demonstrating the encoding,
 11116 still lacks various theorems and concrete record syntax;
 11117 
 11118 
 11119 *** HOLCF ***
 11120 
 11121 * removed "axioms" and "generated by" sections;
 11122 
 11123 * replaced "ops" section by extended "consts" section, which is capable of
 11124   handling the continuous function space "->" directly;
 11125 
 11126 * domain package:
 11127   . proves theorems immediately and stores them in the theory,
 11128   . creates hierachical name space,
 11129   . now uses normal mixfix annotations (instead of cinfix...),
 11130   . minor changes to some names and values (for consistency),
 11131   . e.g. cases -> casedist, dists_eq -> dist_eqs, [take_lemma] -> take_lemmas,
 11132   . separator between mutual domain defs: changed "," to "and",
 11133   . improved handling of sort constraints;  now they have to
 11134     appear on the left-hand side of the equations only;
 11135 
 11136 * fixed LAM <x,y,zs>.b syntax;
 11137 
 11138 * added extended adm_tac to simplifier in HOLCF -- can now discharge
 11139 adm (%x. P (t x)), where P is chainfinite and t continuous;
 11140 
 11141 
 11142 *** FOL and ZF ***
 11143 
 11144 * FOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 11145   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 11146 
 11147 * qed_spec_mp, qed_goal_spec_mp, qed_goalw_spec_mp are available, as
 11148 in HOL, they strip ALL and --> from proved theorems;
 11149 
 11150 
 11151 
 11152 New in Isabelle94-8 (May 1997)
 11153 ------------------------------
 11154 
 11155 *** General Changes ***
 11156 
 11157 * new utilities to build / run / maintain Isabelle etc. (in parts
 11158 still somewhat experimental); old Makefiles etc. still functional;
 11159 
 11160 * new 'Isabelle System Manual';
 11161 
 11162 * INSTALL text, together with ./configure and ./build scripts;
 11163 
 11164 * reimplemented type inference for greater efficiency, better error
 11165 messages and clean internal interface;
 11166 
 11167 * prlim command for dealing with lots of subgoals (an easier way of
 11168 setting goals_limit);
 11169 
 11170 
 11171 *** Syntax ***
 11172 
 11173 * supports alternative (named) syntax tables (parser and pretty
 11174 printer); internal interface is provided by add_modesyntax(_i);
 11175 
 11176 * Pure, FOL, ZF, HOL, HOLCF now support symbolic input and output; to
 11177 be used in conjunction with the Isabelle symbol font; uses the
 11178 "symbols" syntax table;
 11179 
 11180 * added token_translation interface (may translate name tokens in
 11181 arbitrary ways, dependent on their type (free, bound, tfree, ...) and
 11182 the current print_mode); IMPORTANT: user print translation functions
 11183 are responsible for marking newly introduced bounds
 11184 (Syntax.mark_boundT);
 11185 
 11186 * token translations for modes "xterm" and "xterm_color" that display
 11187 names in bold, underline etc. or colors (which requires a color
 11188 version of xterm);
 11189 
 11190 * infixes may now be declared with names independent of their syntax;
 11191 
 11192 * added typed_print_translation (like print_translation, but may
 11193 access type of constant);
 11194 
 11195 
 11196 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 11197 
 11198 Blast_tac: a new tactic!  It is often more powerful than fast_tac, but has
 11199 some limitations.  Blast_tac...
 11200   + ignores addss, addbefore, addafter; this restriction is intrinsic
 11201   + ignores elimination rules that don't have the correct format
 11202         (the conclusion MUST be a formula variable)
 11203   + ignores types, which can make HOL proofs fail
 11204   + rules must not require higher-order unification, e.g. apply_type in ZF
 11205     [message "Function Var's argument not a bound variable" relates to this]
 11206   + its proof strategy is more general but can actually be slower
 11207 
 11208 * substitution with equality assumptions no longer permutes other
 11209 assumptions;
 11210 
 11211 * minor changes in semantics of addafter (now called addaltern); renamed
 11212 setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to compWrapper; added safe wrapper
 11213 (and access functions for it);
 11214 
 11215 * improved combination of classical reasoner and simplifier:
 11216   + functions for handling clasimpsets
 11217   + improvement of addss: now the simplifier is called _after_ the
 11218     safe steps.
 11219   + safe variant of addss called addSss: uses safe simplifications
 11220     _during_ the safe steps. It is more complete as it allows multiple
 11221     instantiations of unknowns (e.g. with slow_tac).
 11222 
 11223 *** Simplifier ***
 11224 
 11225 * added interface for simplification procedures (functions that
 11226 produce *proven* rewrite rules on the fly, depending on current
 11227 redex);
 11228 
 11229 * ordering on terms as parameter (used for ordered rewriting);
 11230 
 11231 * new functions delcongs, deleqcongs, and Delcongs. richer rep_ss;
 11232 
 11233 * the solver is now split into a safe and an unsafe part.
 11234 This should be invisible for the normal user, except that the
 11235 functions setsolver and addsolver have been renamed to setSolver and
 11236 addSolver; added safe_asm_full_simp_tac;
 11237 
 11238 
 11239 *** HOL ***
 11240 
 11241 * a generic induction tactic `induct_tac' which works for all datatypes and
 11242 also for type `nat';
 11243 
 11244 * a generic case distinction tactic `exhaust_tac' which works for all
 11245 datatypes and also for type `nat';
 11246 
 11247 * each datatype comes with a function `size';
 11248 
 11249 * patterns in case expressions allow tuple patterns as arguments to
 11250 constructors, for example `case x of [] => ... | (x,y,z)#ps => ...';
 11251 
 11252 * primrec now also works with type nat;
 11253 
 11254 * recdef: a new declaration form, allows general recursive functions to be
 11255 defined in theory files.  See HOL/ex/Fib, HOL/ex/Primes, HOL/Subst/Unify.
 11256 
 11257 * the constant for negation has been renamed from "not" to "Not" to
 11258 harmonize with FOL, ZF, LK, etc.;
 11259 
 11260 * HOL/ex/LFilter theory of a corecursive "filter" functional for
 11261 infinite lists;
 11262 
 11263 * HOL/Modelcheck demonstrates invocation of model checker oracle;
 11264 
 11265 * HOL/ex/Ring.thy declares cring_simp, which solves equational
 11266 problems in commutative rings, using axiomatic type classes for + and *;
 11267 
 11268 * more examples in HOL/MiniML and HOL/Auth;
 11269 
 11270 * more default rewrite rules for quantifiers, union/intersection;
 11271 
 11272 * a new constant `arbitrary == @x.False';
 11273 
 11274 * HOLCF/IOA replaces old HOL/IOA;
 11275 
 11276 * HOLCF changes: derived all rules and arities
 11277   + axiomatic type classes instead of classes
 11278   + typedef instead of faking type definitions
 11279   + eliminated the internal constants less_fun, less_cfun, UU_fun, UU_cfun etc.
 11280   + new axclasses cpo, chfin, flat with flat < chfin < pcpo < cpo < po
 11281   + eliminated the types void, one, tr
 11282   + use unit lift and bool lift (with translations) instead of one and tr
 11283   + eliminated blift from Lift3.thy (use Def instead of blift)
 11284   all eliminated rules are derived as theorems --> no visible changes ;
 11285 
 11286 
 11287 *** ZF ***
 11288 
 11289 * ZF now has Fast_tac, Simp_tac and Auto_tac.  Union_iff is a now a default
 11290 rewrite rule; this may affect some proofs.  eq_cs is gone but can be put back
 11291 as ZF_cs addSIs [equalityI];
 11292 
 11293 
 11294 
 11295 New in Isabelle94-7 (November 96)
 11296 ---------------------------------
 11297 
 11298 * allowing negative levels (as offsets) in prlev and choplev;
 11299 
 11300 * super-linear speedup for large simplifications;
 11301 
 11302 * FOL, ZF and HOL now use miniscoping: rewriting pushes
 11303 quantifications in as far as possible (COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS
 11304 FAIL); can suppress it using the command Delsimps (ex_simps @
 11305 all_simps); De Morgan laws are also now included, by default;
 11306 
 11307 * improved printing of ==>  :  ~:
 11308 
 11309 * new object-logic "Sequents" adds linear logic, while replacing LK
 11310 and Modal (thanks to Sara Kalvala);
 11311 
 11312 * HOL/Auth: correctness proofs for authentication protocols;
 11313 
 11314 * HOL: new auto_tac combines rewriting and classical reasoning (many
 11315 examples on HOL/Auth);
 11316 
 11317 * HOL: new command AddIffs for declaring theorems of the form P=Q to
 11318 the rewriter and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 11319 
 11320 * function uresult no longer returns theorems in "standard" format;
 11321 regain previous version by: val uresult = standard o uresult;
 11322 
 11323 
 11324 
 11325 New in Isabelle94-6
 11326 -------------------
 11327 
 11328 * oracles -- these establish an interface between Isabelle and trusted
 11329 external reasoners, which may deliver results as theorems;
 11330 
 11331 * proof objects (in particular record all uses of oracles);
 11332 
 11333 * Simp_tac, Fast_tac, etc. that refer to implicit simpset / claset;
 11334 
 11335 * "constdefs" section in theory files;
 11336 
 11337 * "primrec" section (HOL) no longer requires names;
 11338 
 11339 * internal type "tactic" now simply "thm -> thm Sequence.seq";
 11340 
 11341 
 11342 
 11343 New in Isabelle94-5
 11344 -------------------
 11345 
 11346 * reduced space requirements;
 11347 
 11348 * automatic HTML generation from theories;
 11349 
 11350 * theory files no longer require "..." (quotes) around most types;
 11351 
 11352 * new examples, including two proofs of the Church-Rosser theorem;
 11353 
 11354 * non-curried (1994) version of HOL is no longer distributed;
 11355 
 11356 
 11357 
 11358 New in Isabelle94-4
 11359 -------------------
 11360 
 11361 * greatly reduced space requirements;
 11362 
 11363 * theory files (.thy) no longer require \...\ escapes at line breaks;
 11364 
 11365 * searchable theorem database (see the section "Retrieving theorems" on
 11366 page 8 of the Reference Manual);
 11367 
 11368 * new examples, including Grabczewski's monumental case study of the
 11369 Axiom of Choice;
 11370 
 11371 * The previous version of HOL renamed to Old_HOL;
 11372 
 11373 * The new version of HOL (previously called CHOL) uses a curried syntax
 11374 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b);
 11375 
 11376 * Mutually recursive inductive definitions finally work in HOL;
 11377 
 11378 * In ZF, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions and
 11379 translates to the operator "split";
 11380 
 11381 
 11382 
 11383 New in Isabelle94-3
 11384 -------------------
 11385 
 11386 * new infix operator, addss, allowing the classical reasoner to
 11387 perform simplification at each step of its search.  Example:
 11388         fast_tac (cs addss ss)
 11389 
 11390 * a new logic, CHOL, the same as HOL, but with a curried syntax
 11391 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b).  Also pairs
 11392 look like (a,b) instead of <a,b>;
 11393 
 11394 * PLEASE NOTE: CHOL will eventually replace HOL!
 11395 
 11396 * In CHOL, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions.
 11397 It translates to the operator "split".  A new theory of integers is available;
 11398 
 11399 * In ZF, integer numerals now denote two's-complement binary integers.
 11400 Arithmetic operations can be performed by rewriting.  See ZF/ex/Bin.ML;
 11401 
 11402 * Many new examples: I/O automata, Church-Rosser theorem, equivalents
 11403 of the Axiom of Choice;
 11404 
 11405 
 11406 
 11407 New in Isabelle94-2
 11408 -------------------
 11409 
 11410 * Significantly faster resolution;
 11411 
 11412 * the different sections in a .thy file can now be mixed and repeated
 11413 freely;
 11414 
 11415 * Database of theorems for FOL, HOL and ZF.  New
 11416 commands including qed, qed_goal and bind_thm store theorems in the database.
 11417 
 11418 * Simple database queries: return a named theorem (get_thm) or all theorems of
 11419 a given theory (thms_of), or find out what theory a theorem was proved in
 11420 (theory_of_thm);
 11421
