     5 ----------------------------
     6 
     7 *** HOL ***
     8 
     9 * Fact generalization and consolidation:
    10     neq_one_mod_two, mod_2_not_eq_zero_eq_one_int ~> not_mod_2_eq_0_eq_1
    11 INCOMPATIBILITY.
    12 
    13 * Purely algebraic definition of even.  Fact generalization and consolidation:
    14     nat_even_iff_2_dvd, int_even_iff_2_dvd ~> even_iff_2_dvd
    15     even_zero_(nat|int) ~> even_zero
    16 INCOMPATIBILITY.
    17 
    18 *** HOL ***
    19 
    20 * Elimination of fact duplicates:
    21     equals_zero_I ~> minus_unique
    22     diff_eq_0_iff_eq ~> right_minus_eq
    23 INCOMPATIBILITY.
    24 
    25 * Fact name consolidation:
    26     diff_def, diff_minus, ab_diff_minus ~> diff_conv_add_uminus
    27     minus_le_self_iff ~> neg_less_eq_nonneg
    28     le_minus_self_iff ~> less_eq_neg_nonpos
    29     neg_less_nonneg ~> neg_less_pos
    30     less_minus_self_iff ~> less_neg_neg [simp]
    31 INCOMPATIBILITY.
    32 
    33 * More simplification rules on unary and binary minus:
    34 add_diff_cancel, add_diff_cancel_left, add_le_same_cancel1,
    35 add_le_same_cancel2, add_less_same_cancel1, add_less_same_cancel2,
    36 add_minus_cancel, diff_add_cancel, le_add_same_cancel1,
    37 le_add_same_cancel2, less_add_same_cancel1, less_add_same_cancel2,
    38 minus_add_cancel, uminus_add_conv_diff.  These correspondingly
    39 have been taken away from fact collections algebra_simps and
    40 field_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
    41 
    42 To restore proofs, the following patterns are helpful:
    43 
    44 a) Arbitrary failing proof not involving "diff_def":
    45 Consider simplification with algebra_simps or field_simps.
    46 
    47 b) Lifting rules from addition to subtraction:
    48 Try with "using <rule for addition> of [… "- _" …]" by simp".
    49 
    50 c) Simplification with "diff_def": just drop "diff_def".
    51 Consider simplification with algebra_simps or field_simps;
    52 or the brute way with
    53 "simp add: diff_conv_add_uminus del: add_uminus_conv_diff".
    54 
    55 New in Isabelle2013-1 (November 2013)
    56 -------------------------------------
    57 
    58 *** General ***
    59 
    60 * Discontinued obsolete 'uses' within theory header.  Note that
    61 commands like 'ML_file' work without separate declaration of file
    62 dependencies.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    63 
    64 * Discontinued redundant 'use' command, which was superseded by
    65 'ML_file' in Isabelle2013.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    66 
    67 * Simplified subscripts within identifiers, using plain \<^sub>
    68 instead of the second copy \<^isub> and \<^isup>.  Superscripts are
    69 only for literal tokens within notation; explicit mixfix annotations
    70 for consts or fixed variables may be used as fall-back for unusual
    71 names.  Obsolete \<twosuperior> has been expanded to \<^sup>2 in
    72 Isabelle/HOL.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "isabelle update_sub_sup" to
    73 standardize symbols as a starting point for further manual cleanup.
    74 The ML reference variable "legacy_isub_isup" may be set as temporary
    75 workaround, to make the prover accept a subset of the old identifier
    76 syntax.
    77 
    78 * Document antiquotations: term style "isub" has been renamed to
    79 "sub".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    80 
    81 * Uniform management of "quick_and_dirty" as system option (see also
    82 "isabelle options"), configuration option within the context (see also
    83 Config.get in Isabelle/ML), and attribute in Isabelle/Isar.  Minor
    84 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use more official Isabelle means to access
    85 quick_and_dirty, instead of historical poking into mutable reference.
    86 
    87 * Renamed command 'print_configs' to 'print_options'.  Minor
    88 INCOMPATIBILITY.
    89 
    90 * Proper diagnostic command 'print_state'.  Old 'pr' (with its
    91 implicit change of some global references) is retained for now as
    92 control command, e.g. for ProofGeneral 3.7.x.
    93 
    94 * Discontinued 'print_drafts' command with its old-fashioned PS output
    95 and Unix command-line print spooling.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: use
    96 'display_drafts' instead and print via the regular document viewer.
    97 
    98 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual,
    99 eliminated old "ref" manual.
   100 
   101 
   102 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
   103 
   104 * New manual "jedit" for Isabelle/jEdit, see isabelle doc or
   105 Documentation panel.
   106 
   107 * Dockable window "Documentation" provides access to Isabelle
   108 documentation.
   109 
   110 * Dockable window "Find" provides query operations for formal entities
   111 (GUI front-end to 'find_theorems' command).
   112 
   113 * Dockable window "Sledgehammer" manages asynchronous / parallel
   114 sledgehammer runs over existing document sources, independently of
   115 normal editing and checking process.
   116 
   117 * Dockable window "Timing" provides an overview of relevant command
   118 timing information.
   119 
   120 * Improved dockable window "Theories": Continuous checking of proof
   121 document (visible and required parts) may be controlled explicitly,
   122 using check box or shortcut "C+e ENTER".  Individual theory nodes may
   123 be marked explicitly as required and checked in full, using check box
   124 or shortcut "C+e SPACE".
   125 
   126 * Strictly monotonic document update, without premature cancellation of
   127 running transactions that are still needed: avoid reset/restart of
   128 such command executions while editing.
   129 
   130 * Improved completion mechanism, which is now managed by the
   131 Isabelle/jEdit plugin instead of SideKick.  Refined table of Isabelle
   132 symbol abbreviations (see $ISABELLE_HOME/etc/symbols).
   133 
   134 * Support for asynchronous print functions, as overlay to existing
   135 document content.
   136 
   137 * Support for automatic tools in HOL, which try to prove or disprove
   138 toplevel theorem statements.
   139 
   140 * Action isabelle.reset-font-size resets main text area font size
   141 according to Isabelle/Scala plugin option "jedit_font_reset_size"
   142 (cf. keyboard shortcut C+0).
   143 
   144 * File specifications in jEdit (e.g. file browser) may refer to
   145 $ISABELLE_HOME on all platforms.  Discontinued obsolete
   146 $ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS variable.
   147 
   148 * Improved support for Linux look-and-feel "GTK+", see also "Utilities
   149 / Global Options / Appearance".
   150 
   151 * Improved support of native Mac OS X functionality via "MacOSX"
   152 plugin, which is now enabled by default.
   153 
   154 
   155 *** Pure ***
   156 
   157 * Commands 'interpretation' and 'sublocale' are now target-sensitive.
   158 In particular, 'interpretation' allows for non-persistent
   159 interpretation within "context ... begin ... end" blocks offering a
   160 light-weight alternative to 'sublocale'.  See "isar-ref" manual for
   161 details.
   162 
   163 * Improved locales diagnostic command 'print_dependencies'.
   164 
   165 * Discontinued obsolete 'axioms' command, which has been marked as
   166 legacy since Isabelle2009-2.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use 'axiomatization'
   167 instead, while observing its uniform scope for polymorphism.
   168 
   169 * Discontinued empty name bindings in 'axiomatization'.
   170 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   171 
   172 * System option "proofs" has been discontinued.  Instead the global
   173 state of Proofterm.proofs is persistently compiled into logic images
   174 as required, notably HOL-Proofs.  Users no longer need to change
   175 Proofterm.proofs dynamically.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   176 
   177 * Syntax translation functions (print_translation etc.) always depend
   178 on Proof.context.  Discontinued former "(advanced)" option -- this is
   179 now the default.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   180 
   181 * Former global reference trace_unify_fail is now available as
   182 configuration option "unify_trace_failure" (global context only).
   183 
   184 * SELECT_GOAL now retains the syntactic context of the overall goal
   185 state (schematic variables etc.).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare
   186 situations.
   187 
   188 
   189 *** HOL ***
   190 
   191 * Stronger precedence of syntax for big intersection and union on
   192 sets, in accordance with corresponding lattice operations.
   193 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   194 
   195 * Notation "{p:A. P}" now allows tuple patterns as well.
   196 
   197 * Nested case expressions are now translated in a separate check phase
   198 rather than during parsing. The data for case combinators is separated
   199 from the datatype package. The declaration attribute
   200 "case_translation" can be used to register new case combinators:
   201 
   202   declare [[case_translation case_combinator constructor1 ... constructorN]]
   203 
   204 * Code generator:
   205   - 'code_printing' unifies 'code_const' / 'code_type' / 'code_class' /
   206     'code_instance'.
   207   - 'code_identifier' declares name hints for arbitrary identifiers in
   208     generated code, subsuming 'code_modulename'.
   209 
   210 See the isar-ref manual for syntax diagrams, and the HOL theories for
   211 examples.
   212 
   213 * Attibute 'code': 'code' now declares concrete and abstract code
   214 equations uniformly.  Use explicit 'code equation' and 'code abstract'
   215 to distinguish both when desired.
   216 
   217 * Discontinued theories Code_Integer and Efficient_Nat by a more
   218 fine-grain stack of theories Code_Target_Int, Code_Binary_Nat,
   219 Code_Target_Nat and Code_Target_Numeral.  See the tutorial on code
   220 generation for details.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   221 
   222 * Numeric types are mapped by default to target language numerals:
   223 natural (replaces former code_numeral) and integer (replaces former
   224 code_int).  Conversions are available as integer_of_natural /
   225 natural_of_integer / integer_of_nat / nat_of_integer (in HOL) and
   226 Code_Numeral.integer_of_natural / Code_Numeral.natural_of_integer (in
   227 ML).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   228 
   229 * Function package: For mutually recursive functions f and g, separate
   230 cases rules f.cases and g.cases are generated instead of unusable
   231 f_g.cases which exposed internal sum types. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
   232 in the case that the unusable rule was used nevertheless.
   233 
   234 * Function package: For each function f, new rules f.elims are
   235 generated, which eliminate equalities of the form "f x = t".
   236 
   237 * New command 'fun_cases' derives ad-hoc elimination rules for
   238 function equations as simplified instances of f.elims, analogous to
   239 inductive_cases.  See ~~/src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy for some examples.
   240 
   241 * Lifting:
   242   - parametrized correspondence relations are now supported:
   243     + parametricity theorems for the raw term can be specified in 
   244       the command lift_definition, which allow us to generate stronger
   245       transfer rules
   246     + setup_lifting generates stronger transfer rules if parametric
   247       correspondence relation can be generated
   248     + various new properties of the relator must be specified to support
   249       parametricity
   250     + parametricity theorem for the Quotient relation can be specified
   251   - setup_lifting generates domain rules for the Transfer package
   252   - stronger reflexivity prover of respectfulness theorems for type
   253     copies
   254   - ===> and --> are now local. The symbols can be introduced
   255     by interpreting the locale lifting_syntax (typically in an
   256     anonymous context)
   257   - Lifting/Transfer relevant parts of Library/Quotient_* are now in 
   258     Main. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
   259   - new commands for restoring and deleting Lifting/Transfer context:
   260     lifting_forget, lifting_update
   261   - the command print_quotmaps was renamed to print_quot_maps. 
   262     INCOMPATIBILITY
   263 
   264 * Transfer:
   265   - better support for domains in Transfer: replace Domainp T 
   266     by the actual invariant in a transferred goal
   267   - transfer rules can have as assumptions other transfer rules
   268   - Experimental support for transferring from the raw level to the
   269     abstract level: Transfer.transferred attribute
   270   - Attribute version of the transfer method: untransferred attribute
   271 
   272 * Reification and reflection:
   273   - Reification is now directly available in HOL-Main in structure
   274     "Reification".
   275   - Reflection now handles multiple lists with variables also.
   276   - The whole reflection stack has been decomposed into conversions.
   277 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   278 
   279 * Revised devices for recursive definitions over finite sets:
   280   - Only one fundamental fold combinator on finite set remains:
   281     Finite_Set.fold :: ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
   282     This is now identity on infinite sets.
   283   - Locales ("mini packages") for fundamental definitions with
   284     Finite_Set.fold: folding, folding_idem.
   285   - Locales comm_monoid_set, semilattice_order_set and
   286     semilattice_neutr_order_set for big operators on sets.
   287     See theory Big_Operators for canonical examples.
   288     Note that foundational constants comm_monoid_set.F and
   289     semilattice_set.F correspond to former combinators fold_image
   290     and fold1 respectively.  These are now gone.  You may use
   291     those foundational constants as substitutes, but it is
   292     preferable to interpret the above locales accordingly.
   293   - Dropped class ab_semigroup_idem_mult (special case of lattice,
   294     no longer needed in connection with Finite_Set.fold etc.)
   295   - Fact renames:
   296       card.union_inter ~> card_Un_Int [symmetric]
   297       card.union_disjoint ~> card_Un_disjoint
   298 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   299 
   300 * Locale hierarchy for abstract orderings and (semi)lattices.
   301 
   302 * Complete_Partial_Order.admissible is defined outside the type class
   303 ccpo, but with mandatory prefix ccpo. Admissibility theorems lose the
   304 class predicate assumption or sort constraint when possible.
   305 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   306 
   307 * Introduce type class "conditionally_complete_lattice": Like a
   308 complete lattice but does not assume the existence of the top and
   309 bottom elements.  Allows to generalize some lemmas about reals and
   310 extended reals.  Removed SupInf and replaced it by the instantiation
   311 of conditionally_complete_lattice for real. Renamed lemmas about
   312 conditionally-complete lattice from Sup_... to cSup_... and from
   313 Inf_...  to cInf_... to avoid hidding of similar complete lattice
   314 lemmas.
   315 
   316 * Introduce type class linear_continuum as combination of
   317 conditionally-complete lattices and inner dense linorders which have
   318 more than one element.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   319 
   320 * Introduced type classes order_top and order_bot. The old classes top
   321 and bot only contain the syntax without assumptions.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
   322 Rename bot -> order_bot, top -> order_top
   323 
   324 * Introduce type classes "no_top" and "no_bot" for orderings without
   325 top and bottom elements.
   326 
   327 * Split dense_linorder into inner_dense_order and no_top, no_bot.
   328 
   329 * Complex_Main: Unify and move various concepts from
   330 HOL-Multivariate_Analysis to HOL-Complex_Main.
   331 
   332  - Introduce type class (lin)order_topology and
   333    linear_continuum_topology.  Allows to generalize theorems about
   334    limits and order.  Instances are reals and extended reals.
   335 
   336  - continuous and continuos_on from Multivariate_Analysis:
   337    "continuous" is the continuity of a function at a filter.  "isCont"
   338    is now an abbrevitation: "isCont x f == continuous (at _) f".
   339 
   340    Generalized continuity lemmas from isCont to continuous on an
   341    arbitrary filter.
   342 
   343  - compact from Multivariate_Analysis. Use Bolzano's lemma to prove
   344    compactness of closed intervals on reals. Continuous functions
   345    attain infimum and supremum on compact sets. The inverse of a
   346    continuous function is continuous, when the function is continuous
   347    on a compact set.
   348 
   349  - connected from Multivariate_Analysis. Use it to prove the
   350    intermediate value theorem. Show connectedness of intervals on
   351    linear_continuum_topology).
   352 
   353  - first_countable_topology from Multivariate_Analysis. Is used to
   354    show equivalence of properties on the neighbourhood filter of x and
   355    on all sequences converging to x.
   356 
   357  - FDERIV: Definition of has_derivative moved to Deriv.thy. Moved
   358    theorems from Library/FDERIV.thy to Deriv.thy and base the
   359    definition of DERIV on FDERIV. Add variants of DERIV and FDERIV
   360    which are restricted to sets, i.e. to represent derivatives from
   361    left or right.
   362 
   363  - Removed the within-filter. It is replaced by the principal filter:
   364 
   365      F within X = inf F (principal X)
   366 
   367  - Introduce "at x within U" as a single constant, "at x" is now an
   368    abbreviation for "at x within UNIV"
   369 
   370  - Introduce named theorem collections tendsto_intros,
   371    continuous_intros, continuous_on_intros and FDERIV_intros. Theorems
   372    in tendsto_intros (or FDERIV_intros) are also available as
   373    tendsto_eq_intros (or FDERIV_eq_intros) where the right-hand side
   374    is replaced by a congruence rule. This allows to apply them as
   375    intro rules and then proving equivalence by the simplifier.
   376 
   377  - Restructured theories in HOL-Complex_Main:
   378 
   379    + Moved RealDef and RComplete into Real
   380 
   381    + Introduced Topological_Spaces and moved theorems about
   382      topological spaces, filters, limits and continuity to it
   383 
   384    + Renamed RealVector to Real_Vector_Spaces
   385 
   386    + Split Lim, SEQ, Series into Topological_Spaces,
   387      Real_Vector_Spaces, and Limits
   388 
   389    + Moved Ln and Log to Transcendental
   390 
   391    + Moved theorems about continuity from Deriv to Topological_Spaces
   392 
   393  - Remove various auxiliary lemmas.
   394 
   395 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   396 
   397 * Nitpick:
   398   - Added option "spy"
   399   - Reduce incidence of "too high arity" errors
   400 
   401 * Sledgehammer:
   402   - Renamed option:
   403       isar_shrink ~> isar_compress
   404     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   405   - Added options "isar_try0", "spy"
   406   - Better support for "isar_proofs"
   407   - MaSh has been fined-tuned and now runs as a local server
   408 
   409 * Improved support for ad hoc overloading of constants (see also
   410 isar-ref manual and ~~/src/HOL/ex/Adhoc_Overloading_Examples.thy).
   411 
   412 * Library/Polynomial.thy:
   413   - Use lifting for primitive definitions.
   414   - Explicit conversions from and to lists of coefficients, used for
   415     generated code.
   416   - Replaced recursion operator poly_rec by fold_coeffs.
   417   - Prefer pre-existing gcd operation for gcd.
   418   - Fact renames:
   419     poly_eq_iff ~> poly_eq_poly_eq_iff
   420     poly_ext ~> poly_eqI
   421     expand_poly_eq ~> poly_eq_iff
   422 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
   423 
   424 * New Library/Simps_Case_Conv.thy: Provides commands simps_of_case and
   425 case_of_simps to convert function definitions between a list of
   426 equations with patterns on the lhs and a single equation with case
   427 expressions on the rhs. See also Ex/Simps_Case_Conv_Examples.thy.
   428 
   429 * New Library/FSet.thy: type of finite sets defined as a subtype of
   430 sets defined by Lifting/Transfer.
   431 
   432 * Discontinued theory src/HOL/Library/Eval_Witness.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   433 
   434 * Consolidation of library theories on product orders:
   435 
   436     Product_Lattice ~> Product_Order -- pointwise order on products
   437     Product_ord ~> Product_Lexorder -- lexicographic order on products
   438 
   439 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   440 
   441 * Imperative-HOL: The MREC combinator is considered legacy and no
   442 longer included by default. INCOMPATIBILITY, use partial_function
   443 instead, or import theory Legacy_Mrec as a fallback.
   444 
   445 * HOL-Algebra: Discontinued theories ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/abstract and
   446 ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/poly.  Existing theories should be based on
   447 ~~/src/HOL/Library/Polynomial instead.  The latter provides
   448 integration with HOL's type classes for rings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   449 
   450 * HOL-BNF:
   451   - Various improvements to BNF-based (co)datatype package, including
   452     new commands "primrec_new", "primcorec", and
   453     "datatype_new_compat", as well as documentation. See
   454     "datatypes.pdf" for details.
   455   - New "coinduction" method to avoid some boilerplate (compared to
   456     coinduct).
   457   - Renamed keywords:
   458     data ~> datatype_new
   459     codata ~> codatatype
   460     bnf_def ~> bnf
   461   - Renamed many generated theorems, including
   462     discs ~> disc
   463     map_comp' ~> map_comp
   464     map_id' ~> map_id
   465     sels ~> sel
   466     set_map' ~> set_map
   467     sets ~> set
   468 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
   469 
   470 
   471 *** ML ***
   472 
   473 * Spec_Check is a Quickcheck tool for Isabelle/ML.  The ML function
   474 "check_property" allows to check specifications of the form "ALL x y
   475 z. prop x y z".  See also ~~/src/Tools/Spec_Check/ with its
   476 Examples.thy in particular.
   477 
   478 * Improved printing of exception trace in Poly/ML 5.5.1, with regular
   479 tracing output in the command transaction context instead of physical
   480 stdout.  See also Toplevel.debug, Toplevel.debugging and
   481 ML_Compiler.exn_trace.
   482 
   483 * ML type "theory" is now immutable, without any special treatment of
   484 drafts or linear updates (which could lead to "stale theory" errors in
   485 the past).  Discontinued obsolete operations like Theory.copy,
   486 Theory.checkpoint, and the auxiliary type theory_ref.  Minor
   487 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   488 
   489 * More uniform naming of goal functions for skipped proofs:
   490 
   491     Skip_Proof.prove  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry
   492     Skip_Proof.prove_global  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry_global
   493 
   494 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   495 
   496 * Simplifier tactics and tools use proper Proof.context instead of
   497 historic type simpset.  Old-style declarations like addsimps,
   498 addsimprocs etc. operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type simpset
   499 retains its use as snapshot of the main Simplifier context, using
   500 simpset_of and put_simpset on Proof.context.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- port
   501 old tools by making them depend on (ctxt : Proof.context) instead of
   502 (ss : simpset), then turn (simpset_of ctxt) into ctxt.
   503 
   504 * Modifiers for classical wrappers (e.g. addWrapper, delWrapper)
   505 operate on Proof.context instead of claset, for uniformity with addIs,
   506 addEs, addDs etc. Note that claset_of and put_claset allow to manage
   507 clasets separately from the context.
   508 
   509 * Discontinued obsolete ML antiquotations @{claset} and @{simpset}.
   510 INCOMPATIBILITY, use @{context} instead.
   511 
   512 * Antiquotation @{theory_context A} is similar to @{theory A}, but
   513 presents the result as initial Proof.context.
   514 
   515 
   516 *** System ***
   517 
   518 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle usedir, mkdir, make -- superseded by
   519 "isabelle build" in Isabelle2013.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   520 
   521 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle-process options -f and -u (former
   522 administrative aliases of option -e).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   523 
   524 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle print tool, and PRINT_COMMAND
   525 settings variable.
   526 
   527 * Discontinued ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT settings variable and historic
   528 document formats: dvi.gz, ps, ps.gz -- the default document format is
   529 always pdf.
   530 
   531 * Isabelle settings variable ISABELLE_BUILD_JAVA_OPTIONS allows to
   532 specify global resources of the JVM process run by isabelle build.
   533 
   534 * Toplevel executable $ISABELLE_HOME/bin/isabelle_scala_script allows
   535 to run Isabelle/Scala source files as standalone programs.
   536 
   537 * Improved "isabelle keywords" tool (for old-style ProofGeneral
   538 keyword tables): use Isabelle/Scala operations, which inspect outer
   539 syntax without requiring to build sessions first.
   540 
   541 * Sessions may be organized via 'chapter' specifications in the ROOT
   542 file, which determines a two-level hierarchy of browser info.  The old
   543 tree-like organization via implicit sub-session relation (with its
   544 tendency towards erratic fluctuation of URLs) has been discontinued.
   545 The default chapter is called "Unsorted".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
   546 for HTML presentation of theories.
   547 
   548 
   549 
   550 New in Isabelle2013 (February 2013)
   551 -----------------------------------
   552 
   553 *** General ***
   554 
   555 * Theorem status about oracles and unfinished/failed future proofs is
   556 no longer printed by default, since it is incompatible with
   557 incremental / parallel checking of the persistent document model.  ML
   558 function Thm.peek_status may be used to inspect a snapshot of the
   559 ongoing evaluation process.  Note that in batch mode --- notably
   560 isabelle build --- the system ensures that future proofs of all
   561 accessible theorems in the theory context are finished (as before).
   562 
   563 * Configuration option show_markup controls direct inlining of markup
   564 into the printed representation of formal entities --- notably type
   565 and sort constraints.  This enables Prover IDE users to retrieve that
   566 information via tooltips in the output window, for example.
   567 
   568 * Command 'ML_file' evaluates ML text from a file directly within the
   569 theory, without any predeclaration via 'uses' in the theory header.
   570 
   571 * Old command 'use' command and corresponding keyword 'uses' in the
   572 theory header are legacy features and will be discontinued soon.
   573 Tools that load their additional source files may imitate the
   574 'ML_file' implementation, such that the system can take care of
   575 dependencies properly.
   576 
   577 * Discontinued obsolete method fastsimp / tactic fast_simp_tac, which
   578 is called fastforce / fast_force_tac already since Isabelle2011-1.
   579 
   580 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual, reduced
   581 remaining material in old "ref" manual.
   582 
   583 * Improved support for auxiliary contexts that indicate block structure
   584 for specifications.  Nesting of "context fixes ... context assumes ..."
   585 and "class ... context ...".
   586 
   587 * Attribute "consumes" allows a negative value as well, which is
   588 interpreted relatively to the total number of premises of the rule in
   589 the target context.  This form of declaration is stable when exported
   590 from a nested 'context' with additional assumptions.  It is the
   591 preferred form for definitional packages, notably cases/rules produced
   592 in HOL/inductive and HOL/function.
   593 
   594 * More informative error messages for Isar proof commands involving
   595 lazy enumerations (method applications etc.).
   596 
   597 * Refined 'help' command to retrieve outer syntax commands according
   598 to name patterns (with clickable results).
   599 
   600 
   601 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
   602 
   603 * Parallel terminal proofs ('by') are enabled by default, likewise
   604 proofs that are built into packages like 'datatype', 'function'.  This
   605 allows to "run ahead" checking the theory specifications on the
   606 surface, while the prover is still crunching on internal
   607 justifications.  Unfinished / cancelled proofs are restarted as
   608 required to complete full proof checking eventually.
   609 
   610 * Improved output panel with tooltips, hyperlinks etc. based on the
   611 same Rich_Text_Area as regular Isabelle/jEdit buffers.  Activation of
   612 tooltips leads to some window that supports the same recursively,
   613 which can lead to stacks of tooltips as the semantic document content
   614 is explored.  ESCAPE closes the whole stack, individual windows may be
   615 closed separately, or detached to become independent jEdit dockables.
   616 
   617 * Improved support for commands that produce graph output: the text
   618 message contains a clickable area to open a new instance of the graph
   619 browser on demand.
   620 
   621 * More robust incremental parsing of outer syntax (partial comments,
   622 malformed symbols).  Changing the balance of open/close quotes and
   623 comment delimiters works more conveniently with unfinished situations
   624 that frequently occur in user interaction.
   625 
   626 * More efficient painting and improved reactivity when editing large
   627 files.  More scalable management of formal document content.
   628 
   629 * Smarter handling of tracing messages: prover process pauses after
   630 certain number of messages per command transaction, with some user
   631 dialog to stop or continue.  This avoids swamping the front-end with
   632 potentially infinite message streams.
   633 
   634 * More plugin options and preferences, based on Isabelle/Scala.  The
   635 jEdit plugin option panel provides access to some Isabelle/Scala
   636 options, including tuning parameters for editor reactivity and color
   637 schemes.
   638 
   639 * Dockable window "Symbols" provides some editing support for Isabelle
   640 symbols.
   641 
   642 * Dockable window "Monitor" shows ML runtime statistics.  Note that
   643 continuous display of the chart slows down the system.
   644 
   645 * Improved editing support for control styles: subscript, superscript,
   646 bold, reset of style -- operating on single symbols or text
   647 selections.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C+e DOWN/UP/RIGHT/LEFT.
   648 
   649 * Actions isabelle.increase-font-size and isabelle.decrease-font-size
   650 adjust the main text area font size, and its derivatives for output,
   651 tooltips etc.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C-PLUS and C-MINUS, which often
   652 need to be adapted to local keyboard layouts.
   653 
   654 * More reactive completion popup by default: use \t (TAB) instead of
   655 \n (NEWLINE) to minimize intrusion into regular flow of editing.  See
   656 also "Plugin Options / SideKick / General / Code Completion Options".
   657 
   658 * Implicit check and build dialog of the specified logic session
   659 image.  For example, HOL, HOLCF, HOL-Nominal can be produced on
   660 demand, without bundling big platform-dependent heap images in the
   661 Isabelle distribution.
   662 
   663 * Uniform Java 7 platform on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows: recent updates
   664 from Oracle provide better multi-platform experience.  This version is
   665 now bundled exclusively with Isabelle.
   666 
   667 
   668 *** Pure ***
   669 
   670 * Code generation for Haskell: restrict unqualified imports from
   671 Haskell Prelude to a small set of fundamental operations.
   672 
   673 * Command 'export_code': relative file names are interpreted
   674 relatively to master directory of current theory rather than the
   675 rather arbitrary current working directory.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   676 
   677 * Discontinued obsolete attribute "COMP".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
   678 use regular rule composition via "OF" / "THEN", or explicit proof
   679 structure instead.  Note that Isabelle/ML provides a variety of
   680 operators like COMP, INCR_COMP, COMP_INCR, which need to be applied
   681 with some care where this is really required.
   682 
   683 * Command 'typ' supports an additional variant with explicit sort
   684 constraint, to infer and check the most general type conforming to a
   685 given sort.  Example (in HOL):
   686 
   687   typ "_ * _ * bool * unit" :: finite
   688 
   689 * Command 'locale_deps' visualizes all locales and their relations as
   690 a Hasse diagram.
   691 
   692 
   693 *** HOL ***
   694 
   695 * Sledgehammer:
   696 
   697   - Added MaSh relevance filter based on machine-learning; see the
   698     Sledgehammer manual for details.
   699   - Polished Isar proofs generated with "isar_proofs" option.
   700   - Rationalized type encodings ("type_enc" option).
   701   - Renamed "kill_provers" subcommand to "kill_all".
   702   - Renamed options:
   703       isar_proof ~> isar_proofs
   704       isar_shrink_factor ~> isar_shrink
   705       max_relevant ~> max_facts
   706       relevance_thresholds ~> fact_thresholds
   707 
   708 * Quickcheck: added an optimisation for equality premises.  It is
   709 switched on by default, and can be switched off by setting the
   710 configuration quickcheck_optimise_equality to false.
   711 
   712 * Quotient: only one quotient can be defined by quotient_type
   713 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   714 
   715 * Lifting:
   716   - generation of an abstraction function equation in lift_definition
   717   - quot_del attribute
   718   - renamed no_abs_code -> no_code (INCOMPATIBILITY.)
   719 
   720 * Simproc "finite_Collect" rewrites set comprehensions into pointfree
   721 expressions.
   722 
   723 * Preprocessing of the code generator rewrites set comprehensions into
   724 pointfree expressions.
   725 
   726 * The SMT solver Z3 has now by default a restricted set of directly
   727 supported features. For the full set of features (div/mod, nonlinear
   728 arithmetic, datatypes/records) with potential proof reconstruction
   729 failures, enable the configuration option "z3_with_extensions".  Minor
   730 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   731 
   732 * Simplified 'typedef' specifications: historical options for implicit
   733 set definition and alternative name have been discontinued.  The
   734 former behavior of "typedef (open) t = A" is now the default, but
   735 written just "typedef t = A".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt theories
   736 accordingly.
   737 
   738 * Removed constant "chars"; prefer "Enum.enum" on type "char"
   739 directly.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   740 
   741 * Moved operation product, sublists and n_lists from theory Enum to
   742 List.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   743 
   744 * Theorem UN_o generalized to SUP_comp.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   745 
   746 * Class "comm_monoid_diff" formalises properties of bounded
   747 subtraction, with natural numbers and multisets as typical instances.
   748 
   749 * Added combinator "Option.these" with type "'a option set => 'a set".
   750 
   751 * Theory "Transitive_Closure": renamed lemmas
   752 
   753   reflcl_tranclp -> reflclp_tranclp
   754   rtranclp_reflcl -> rtranclp_reflclp
   755 
   756 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   757 
   758 * Theory "Rings": renamed lemmas (in class semiring)
   759 
   760   left_distrib ~> distrib_right
   761   right_distrib ~> distrib_left
   762 
   763 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   764 
   765 * Generalized the definition of limits:
   766 
   767   - Introduced the predicate filterlim (LIM x F. f x :> G) which
   768     expresses that when the input values x converge to F then the
   769     output f x converges to G.
   770 
   771   - Added filters for convergence to positive (at_top) and negative
   772     infinity (at_bot).
   773 
   774   - Moved infinity in the norm (at_infinity) from
   775     Multivariate_Analysis to Complex_Main.
   776 
   777   - Removed real_tendsto_inf, it is superseded by "LIM x F. f x :>
   778     at_top".
   779 
   780 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   781 
   782 * Theory "Library/Option_ord" provides instantiation of option type to
   783 lattice type classes.
   784 
   785 * Theory "Library/Multiset": renamed
   786 
   787     constant fold_mset ~> Multiset.fold
   788     fact fold_mset_commute ~> fold_mset_comm
   789 
   790 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   791 
   792 * Renamed theory Library/List_Prefix to Library/Sublist, with related
   793 changes as follows.
   794 
   795   - Renamed constants (and related lemmas)
   796 
   797       prefix ~> prefixeq
   798       strict_prefix ~> prefix
   799 
   800   - Replaced constant "postfix" by "suffixeq" with swapped argument
   801     order (i.e., "postfix xs ys" is now "suffixeq ys xs") and dropped
   802     old infix syntax "xs >>= ys"; use "suffixeq ys xs" instead.
   803     Renamed lemmas accordingly.
   804 
   805   - Added constant "list_hembeq" for homeomorphic embedding on
   806     lists. Added abbreviation "sublisteq" for special case
   807     "list_hembeq (op =)".
   808 
   809   - Theory Library/Sublist no longer provides "order" and "bot" type
   810     class instances for the prefix order (merely corresponding locale
   811     interpretations). The type class instances are now in theory
   812     Library/Prefix_Order.
   813 
   814   - The sublist relation of theory Library/Sublist_Order is now based
   815     on "Sublist.sublisteq".  Renamed lemmas accordingly:
   816 
   817       le_list_append_le_same_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append_le_same_iff
   818       le_list_append_mono ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_append_mono
   819       le_list_below_empty ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil, Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil2
   820       le_list_Cons_EX ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_ConsD
   821       le_list_drop_Cons2 ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2'
   822       le_list_drop_Cons_neq ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2_neq
   823       le_list_drop_Cons ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons'
   824       le_list_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_drop_many
   825       le_list_filter_left ~> Sublist.sublisteq_filter_left
   826       le_list_rev_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_rev_drop_many
   827       le_list_rev_take_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append
   828       le_list_same_length ~> Sublist.sublisteq_same_length
   829       le_list_take_many_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append'
   830       less_eq_list.drop ~> less_eq_list_drop
   831       less_eq_list.induct ~> less_eq_list_induct
   832       not_le_list_length ~> Sublist.not_sublisteq_length
   833 
   834 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   835 
   836 * New theory Library/Countable_Set.
   837 
   838 * Theory Library/Debug and Library/Parallel provide debugging and
   839 parallel execution for code generated towards Isabelle/ML.
   840 
   841 * Theory Library/FuncSet: Extended support for Pi and extensional and
   842 introduce the extensional dependent function space "PiE". Replaced
   843 extensional_funcset by an abbreviation, and renamed lemmas from
   844 extensional_funcset to PiE as follows:
   845 
   846   extensional_empty  ~>  PiE_empty
   847   extensional_funcset_empty_domain  ~>  PiE_empty_domain
   848   extensional_funcset_empty_range  ~>  PiE_empty_range
   849   extensional_funcset_arb  ~>  PiE_arb
   850   extensional_funcset_mem  ~>  PiE_mem
   851   extensional_funcset_extend_domainI  ~>  PiE_fun_upd
   852   extensional_funcset_restrict_domain  ~>  fun_upd_in_PiE
   853   extensional_funcset_extend_domain_eq  ~>  PiE_insert_eq
   854   card_extensional_funcset  ~>  card_PiE
   855   finite_extensional_funcset  ~>  finite_PiE
   856 
   857 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   858 
   859 * Theory Library/FinFun: theory of almost everywhere constant
   860 functions (supersedes the AFP entry "Code Generation for Functions as
   861 Data").
   862 
   863 * Theory Library/Phantom: generic phantom type to make a type
   864 parameter appear in a constant's type.  This alternative to adding
   865 TYPE('a) as another parameter avoids unnecessary closures in generated
   866 code.
   867 
   868 * Theory Library/RBT_Impl: efficient construction of red-black trees
   869 from sorted associative lists. Merging two trees with rbt_union may
   870 return a structurally different tree than before.  Potential
   871 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   872 
   873 * Theory Library/IArray: immutable arrays with code generation.
   874 
   875 * Theory Library/Finite_Lattice: theory of finite lattices.
   876 
   877 * HOL/Multivariate_Analysis: replaced
   878 
   879   "basis :: 'a::euclidean_space => nat => real"
   880   "\<Chi>\<Chi> :: (nat => real) => 'a::euclidean_space"
   881 
   882 on euclidean spaces by using the inner product "_ \<bullet> _" with
   883 vectors from the Basis set: "\<Chi>\<Chi> i. f i" is superseded by
   884 "SUM i : Basis. f i * r i".
   885 
   886   With this change the following constants are also changed or removed:
   887 
   888     DIM('a) :: nat  ~>  card (Basis :: 'a set)   (is an abbreviation)
   889     a $$ i  ~>  inner a i  (where i : Basis)
   890     cart_base i  removed
   891     \<pi>, \<pi>'  removed
   892 
   893   Theorems about these constants where removed.

   908 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   909 
   910 * HOL/Probability:
   911 
   912   - Added simproc "measurable" to automatically prove measurability.
   913 
   914   - Added induction rules for sigma sets with disjoint union
   915     (sigma_sets_induct_disjoint) and for Borel-measurable functions
   916     (borel_measurable_induct).
   917 
   918   - Added the Daniell-Kolmogorov theorem (the existence the limit of a
   919     projective family).
   920 
   921 * HOL/Cardinals: Theories of ordinals and cardinals (supersedes the
   922 AFP entry "Ordinals_and_Cardinals").
   923 
   924 * HOL/BNF: New (co)datatype package based on bounded natural functors
   925 with support for mixed, nested recursion and interesting non-free
   926 datatypes.
   927 
   928 * HOL/Finite_Set and Relation: added new set and relation operations
   929 expressed by Finite_Set.fold.
   930 
   931 * New theory HOL/Library/RBT_Set: implementation of sets by red-black
   932 trees for the code generator.
   933 
   934 * HOL/Library/RBT and HOL/Library/Mapping have been converted to
   935 Lifting/Transfer.
   936 possible INCOMPATIBILITY.
   937 
   938 * HOL/Set: renamed Set.project -> Set.filter
   939 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   940 
   941 
   942 *** Document preparation ***
   943 
   944 * Dropped legacy antiquotations "term_style" and "thm_style", since
   945 styles may be given as arguments to "term" and "thm" already.
   946 Discontinued legacy styles "prem1" .. "prem19".
   947 
   948 * Default LaTeX rendering for \<euro> is now based on eurosym package,
   949 instead of slightly exotic babel/greek.
   950 
   951 * Document variant NAME may use different LaTeX entry point
   952 document/root_NAME.tex if that file exists, instead of the common
   953 document/root.tex.
   954 
   955 * Simplified custom document/build script, instead of old-style
   956 document/IsaMakefile.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   957 
   958 
   959 *** ML ***
   960 
   961 * The default limit for maximum number of worker threads is now 8,
   962 instead of 4, in correspondence to capabilities of contemporary
   963 hardware and Poly/ML runtime system.
   964 
   965 * Type Seq.results and related operations support embedded error
   966 messages within lazy enumerations, and thus allow to provide
   967 informative errors in the absence of any usable results.
   968 
   969 * Renamed Position.str_of to Position.here to emphasize that this is a
   970 formal device to inline positions into message text, but not
   971 necessarily printing visible text.
   972 
   973 
   974 *** System ***
   975 
   976 * Advanced support for Isabelle sessions and build management, see
   977 "system" manual for the chapter of that name, especially the "isabelle
   978 build" tool and its examples.  The "isabelle mkroot" tool prepares
   979 session root directories for use with "isabelle build", similar to
   980 former "isabelle mkdir" for "isabelle usedir".  Note that this affects
   981 document preparation as well.  INCOMPATIBILITY, isabelle usedir /
   982 mkdir / make are rendered obsolete.
   983 
   984 * Discontinued obsolete Isabelle/build script, it is superseded by the
   985 regular isabelle build tool.  For example:
   986 
   987   isabelle build -s -b HOL
   988 
   989 * Discontinued obsolete "isabelle makeall".
   990 
   991 * Discontinued obsolete IsaMakefile and ROOT.ML files from the
   992 Isabelle distribution, except for rudimentary src/HOL/IsaMakefile that
   993 provides some traditional targets that invoke "isabelle build".  Note
   994 that this is inefficient!  Applications of Isabelle/HOL involving
   995 "isabelle make" should be upgraded to use "isabelle build" directly.
   996 
   997 * The "isabelle options" tool prints Isabelle system options, as
   998 required for "isabelle build", for example.
   999 
  1000 * The "isabelle logo" tool produces EPS and PDF format simultaneously.
  1001 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY in command-line options.
  1002 
  1003 * The "isabelle install" tool has now a simpler command-line.  Minor
  1004 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1005 
  1006 * The "isabelle components" tool helps to resolve add-on components
  1007 that are not bundled, or referenced from a bare-bones repository
  1008 version of Isabelle.
  1009 
  1010 * Settings variable ISABELLE_PLATFORM_FAMILY refers to the general
  1011 platform family: "linux", "macos", "windows".
  1012 
  1013 * The ML system is configured as regular component, and no longer
  1014 picked up from some surrounding directory.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  1015 for home-made settings.
  1016 
  1017 * Improved ML runtime statistics (heap, threads, future tasks etc.).
  1018 
  1019 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2.1, which was the last version
  1020 without exception positions and advanced ML compiler/toplevel
  1021 configuration.
  1022 
  1023 * Discontinued special treatment of Proof General -- no longer guess
  1024 PROOFGENERAL_HOME based on accidental file-system layout.  Minor
  1025 INCOMPATIBILITY: provide PROOFGENERAL_HOME and PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS
  1026 settings manually, or use a Proof General version that has been
  1027 bundled as Isabelle component.
  1028 
  1029 
  1030 
  1031 New in Isabelle2012 (May 2012)
  1032 ------------------------------
  1033 
  1034 *** General ***
  1035 
  1036 * Prover IDE (PIDE) improvements:
  1037 
  1038   - more robust Sledgehammer integration (as before the sledgehammer
  1039     command-line needs to be typed into the source buffer)
  1040   - markup for bound variables
  1041   - markup for types of term variables (displayed as tooltips)
  1042   - support for user-defined Isar commands within the running session
  1043   - improved support for Unicode outside original 16bit range
  1044     e.g. glyph for \<A> (thanks to jEdit 4.5.1)
  1045 
  1046 * Forward declaration of outer syntax keywords within the theory
  1047 header -- minor INCOMPATIBILITY for user-defined commands.  Allow new
  1048 commands to be used in the same theory where defined.
  1049 
  1050 * Auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for specifications with
  1051 additional parameters and assumptions.  Such unnamed contexts may be
  1052 nested within other targets, like 'theory', 'locale', 'class',
  1053 'instantiation' etc.  Results from the local context are generalized
  1054 accordingly and applied to the enclosing target context.  Example:
  1055 
  1056   context
  1057     fixes x y z :: 'a
  1058     assumes xy: "x = y" and yz: "y = z"
  1059   begin
  1060 
  1061   lemma my_trans: "x = z" using xy yz by simp
  1062 
  1063   end
  1064 
  1065   thm my_trans
  1066 
  1067 The most basic application is to factor-out context elements of
  1068 several fixes/assumes/shows theorem statements, e.g. see
  1069 ~~/src/HOL/Isar_Examples/Group_Context.thy
  1070 
  1071 Any other local theory specification element works within the "context
  1072 ... begin ... end" block as well.
  1073 
  1074 * Bundled declarations associate attributed fact expressions with a
  1075 given name in the context.  These may be later included in other
  1076 contexts.  This allows to manage context extensions casually, without
  1077 the logical dependencies of locales and locale interpretation.  See
  1078 commands 'bundle', 'include', 'including' etc. in the isar-ref manual.
  1079 
  1080 * Commands 'lemmas' and 'theorems' allow local variables using 'for'
  1081 declaration, and results are standardized before being stored.  Thus
  1082 old-style "standard" after instantiation or composition of facts
  1083 becomes obsolete.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, due to potential change of
  1084 indices of schematic variables.
  1085 
  1086 * Rule attributes in local theory declarations (e.g. locale or class)
  1087 are now statically evaluated: the resulting theorem is stored instead
  1088 of the original expression.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  1089 the historic accident of dynamic re-evaluation in interpretations
  1090 etc. was exploited.
  1091 
  1092 * New tutorial "Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL"
  1093 ("prog-prove").  It completely supersedes "A Tutorial Introduction to
  1094 Structured Isar Proofs" ("isar-overview"), which has been removed.  It
  1095 also supersedes "Isabelle/HOL, A Proof Assistant for Higher-Order
  1096 Logic" as the recommended beginners tutorial, but does not cover all
  1097 of the material of that old tutorial.
  1098 
  1099 * Updated and extended reference manuals: "isar-ref",
  1100 "implementation", "system"; reduced remaining material in old "ref"
  1101 manual.
  1102 
  1103 
  1104 *** Pure ***
  1105 
  1106 * Command 'definition' no longer exports the foundational "raw_def"
  1107 into the user context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, may use the regular
  1108 "def" result with attribute "abs_def" to imitate the old version.
  1109 
  1110 * Attribute "abs_def" turns an equation of the form "f x y == t" into
  1111 "f == %x y. t", which ensures that "simp" or "unfold" steps always
  1112 expand it.  This also works for object-logic equality.  (Formerly
  1113 undocumented feature.)
  1114 
  1115 * Sort constraints are now propagated in simultaneous statements, just
  1116 like type constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  1117 distinct sorts used to be assigned accidentally.  For example:
  1118 
  1119   lemma "P (x::'a::foo)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"  -- "now illegal"
  1120 
  1121   lemma "P (x::'a)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"
  1122     -- "now uniform 'a::bar instead of default sort for first occurrence (!)"
  1123 
  1124 * Rule composition via attribute "OF" (or ML functions OF/MRS) is more
  1125 tolerant against multiple unifiers, as long as the final result is
  1126 unique.  (As before, rules are composed in canonical right-to-left
  1127 order to accommodate newly introduced premises.)
  1128 
  1129 * Renamed some inner syntax categories:
  1130 
  1131     num ~> num_token
  1132     xnum ~> xnum_token
  1133     xstr ~> str_token
  1134 
  1135 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that in practice "num_const" or
  1136 "num_position" etc. are mainly used instead (which also include
  1137 position information via constraints).
  1138 
  1139 * Simplified configuration options for syntax ambiguity: see
  1140 "syntax_ambiguity_warning" and "syntax_ambiguity_limit" in isar-ref
  1141 manual.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1142 
  1143 * Discontinued configuration option "syntax_positions": atomic terms
  1144 in parse trees are always annotated by position constraints.
  1145 
  1146 * Old code generator for SML and its commands 'code_module',
  1147 'code_library', 'consts_code', 'types_code' have been discontinued.
  1148 Use commands of the generic code generator instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1149 
  1150 * Redundant attribute "code_inline" has been discontinued. Use
  1151 "code_unfold" instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1152 
  1153 * Dropped attribute "code_unfold_post" in favor of the its dual
  1154 "code_abbrev", which yields a common pattern in definitions like
  1155 
  1156   definition [code_abbrev]: "f = t"
  1157 
  1158 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1159 
  1160 * Obsolete 'types' command has been discontinued.  Use 'type_synonym'
  1161 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1162 
  1163 * Discontinued old "prems" fact, which used to refer to the accidental
  1164 collection of foundational premises in the context (already marked as
  1165 legacy since Isabelle2011).
  1166 
  1167 
  1168 *** HOL ***
  1169 
  1170 * Type 'a set is now a proper type constructor (just as before
  1171 Isabelle2008).  Definitions mem_def and Collect_def have disappeared.
  1172 Non-trivial INCOMPATIBILITY.  For developments keeping predicates and
  1173 sets separate, it is often sufficient to rephrase some set S that has
  1174 been accidentally used as predicates by "%x. x : S", and some
  1175 predicate P that has been accidentally used as set by "{x. P x}".
  1176 Corresponding proofs in a first step should be pruned from any
  1177 tinkering with former theorems mem_def and Collect_def as far as
  1178 possible.
  1179 
  1180 For developments which deliberately mix predicates and sets, a
  1181 planning step is necessary to determine what should become a predicate
  1182 and what a set.  It can be helpful to carry out that step in
  1183 Isabelle2011-1 before jumping right into the current release.
  1184 
  1185 * Code generation by default implements sets as container type rather
  1186 than predicates.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1187 
  1188 * New type synonym 'a rel = ('a * 'a) set
  1189 
  1190 * The representation of numerals has changed.  Datatype "num"
  1191 represents strictly positive binary numerals, along with functions
  1192 "numeral :: num => 'a" and "neg_numeral :: num => 'a" to represent
  1193 positive and negated numeric literals, respectively.  See also
  1194 definitions in ~~/src/HOL/Num.thy.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, some
  1195 user theories may require adaptations as follows:
  1196 
  1197   - Theorems with number_ring or number_semiring constraints: These
  1198     classes are gone; use comm_ring_1 or comm_semiring_1 instead.
  1199 
  1200   - Theories defining numeric types: Remove number, number_semiring,
  1201     and number_ring instances. Defer all theorems about numerals until
  1202     after classes one and semigroup_add have been instantiated.
  1203 
  1204   - Numeral-only simp rules: Replace each rule having a "number_of v"
  1205     pattern with two copies, one for numeral and one for neg_numeral.
  1206 
  1207   - Theorems about subclasses of semiring_1 or ring_1: These classes
  1208     automatically support numerals now, so more simp rules and
  1209     simprocs may now apply within the proof.
  1210 
  1211   - Definitions and theorems using old constructors Pls/Min/Bit0/Bit1:
  1212     Redefine using other integer operations.
  1213 
  1214 * Transfer: New package intended to generalize the existing
  1215 "descending" method and related theorem attributes from the Quotient
  1216 package.  (Not all functionality is implemented yet, but future
  1217 development will focus on Transfer as an eventual replacement for the
  1218 corresponding parts of the Quotient package.)
  1219 
  1220   - transfer_rule attribute: Maintains a collection of transfer rules,
  1221     which relate constants at two different types. Transfer rules may
  1222     relate different type instances of the same polymorphic constant,
  1223     or they may relate an operation on a raw type to a corresponding
  1224     operation on an abstract type (quotient or subtype). For example:
  1225 
  1226     ((A ===> B) ===> list_all2 A ===> list_all2 B) map map
  1227     (cr_int ===> cr_int ===> cr_int) (%(x,y) (u,v). (x+u, y+v)) plus_int
  1228 
  1229   - transfer method: Replaces a subgoal on abstract types with an
  1230     equivalent subgoal on the corresponding raw types. Constants are
  1231     replaced with corresponding ones according to the transfer rules.
  1232     Goals are generalized over all free variables by default; this is
  1233     necessary for variables whose types change, but can be overridden
  1234     for specific variables with e.g. "transfer fixing: x y z".  The
  1235     variant transfer' method allows replacing a subgoal with one that
  1236     is logically stronger (rather than equivalent).
  1237 
  1238   - relator_eq attribute: Collects identity laws for relators of
  1239     various type constructors, e.g. "list_all2 (op =) = (op =)".  The
  1240     transfer method uses these lemmas to infer transfer rules for
  1241     non-polymorphic constants on the fly.
  1242 
  1243   - transfer_prover method: Assists with proving a transfer rule for a
  1244     new constant, provided the constant is defined in terms of other
  1245     constants that already have transfer rules. It should be applied
  1246     after unfolding the constant definitions.
  1247 
  1248   - HOL/ex/Transfer_Int_Nat.thy: Example theory demonstrating transfer
  1249     from type nat to type int.
  1250 
  1251 * Lifting: New package intended to generalize the quotient_definition
  1252 facility of the Quotient package; designed to work with Transfer.
  1253 
  1254   - lift_definition command: Defines operations on an abstract type in
  1255     terms of a corresponding operation on a representation
  1256     type.  Example syntax:
  1257 
  1258     lift_definition dlist_insert :: "'a => 'a dlist => 'a dlist"
  1259       is List.insert
  1260 
  1261     Users must discharge a respectfulness proof obligation when each
  1262     constant is defined. (For a type copy, i.e. a typedef with UNIV,
  1263     the proof is discharged automatically.) The obligation is
  1264     presented in a user-friendly, readable form; a respectfulness
  1265     theorem in the standard format and a transfer rule are generated
  1266     by the package.
  1267 
  1268   - Integration with code_abstype: For typedefs (e.g. subtypes
  1269     corresponding to a datatype invariant, such as dlist),
  1270     lift_definition generates a code certificate theorem and sets up
  1271     code generation for each constant.
  1272 
  1273   - setup_lifting command: Sets up the Lifting package to work with a
  1274     user-defined type. The user must provide either a quotient theorem
  1275     or a type_definition theorem.  The package configures transfer
  1276     rules for equality and quantifiers on the type, and sets up the
  1277     lift_definition command to work with the type.
  1278 
  1279   - Usage examples: See Quotient_Examples/Lift_DList.thy,
  1280     Quotient_Examples/Lift_RBT.thy, Quotient_Examples/Lift_FSet.thy,
  1281     Word/Word.thy and Library/Float.thy.
  1282 
  1283 * Quotient package:
  1284 
  1285   - The 'quotient_type' command now supports a 'morphisms' option with
  1286     rep and abs functions, similar to typedef.
  1287 
  1288   - 'quotient_type' sets up new types to work with the Lifting and
  1289     Transfer packages, as with 'setup_lifting'.
  1290 
  1291   - The 'quotient_definition' command now requires the user to prove a
  1292     respectfulness property at the point where the constant is
  1293     defined, similar to lift_definition; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1294 
  1295   - Renamed predicate 'Quotient' to 'Quotient3', and renamed theorems
  1296     accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1297 
  1298 * New diagnostic command 'find_unused_assms' to find potentially
  1299 superfluous assumptions in theorems using Quickcheck.
  1300 
  1301 * Quickcheck:
  1302 
  1303   - Quickcheck returns variable assignments as counterexamples, which
  1304     allows to reveal the underspecification of functions under test.
  1305     For example, refuting "hd xs = x", it presents the variable
  1306     assignment xs = [] and x = a1 as a counterexample, assuming that
  1307     any property is false whenever "hd []" occurs in it.
  1308 
  1309     These counterexample are marked as potentially spurious, as
  1310     Quickcheck also returns "xs = []" as a counterexample to the
  1311     obvious theorem "hd xs = hd xs".
  1312 
  1313     After finding a potentially spurious counterexample, Quickcheck
  1314     continues searching for genuine ones.
  1315 
  1316     By default, Quickcheck shows potentially spurious and genuine
  1317     counterexamples. The option "genuine_only" sets quickcheck to only
  1318     show genuine counterexamples.
  1319 
  1320   - The command 'quickcheck_generator' creates random and exhaustive
  1321     value generators for a given type and operations.
  1322 
  1323     It generates values by using the operations as if they were
  1324     constructors of that type.
  1325 
  1326   - Support for multisets.
  1327 
  1328   - Added "use_subtype" options.
  1329 
  1330   - Added "quickcheck_locale" configuration to specify how to process
  1331     conjectures in a locale context.
  1332 
  1333 * Nitpick: Fixed infinite loop caused by the 'peephole_optim' option
  1334 and affecting 'rat' and 'real'.
  1335 
  1336 * Sledgehammer:
  1337   - Integrated more tightly with SPASS, as described in the ITP 2012
  1338     paper "More SPASS with Isabelle".
  1339   - Made it try "smt" as a fallback if "metis" fails or times out.
  1340   - Added support for the following provers: Alt-Ergo (via Why3 and
  1341     TFF1), iProver, iProver-Eq.
  1342   - Sped up the minimizer.
  1343   - Added "lam_trans", "uncurry_aliases", and "minimize" options.
  1344   - Renamed "slicing" ("no_slicing") option to "slice" ("dont_slice").
  1345   - Renamed "sound" option to "strict".
  1346 
  1347 * Metis: Added possibility to specify lambda translations scheme as a
  1348 parenthesized argument (e.g., "by (metis (lifting) ...)").
  1349 
  1350 * SMT: Renamed "smt_fixed" option to "smt_read_only_certificates".
  1351 
  1352 * Command 'try0': Renamed from 'try_methods'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1353 
  1354 * New "case_product" attribute to generate a case rule doing multiple
  1355 case distinctions at the same time.  E.g.
  1356 
  1357   list.exhaust [case_product nat.exhaust]
  1358 
  1359 produces a rule which can be used to perform case distinction on both
  1360 a list and a nat.
  1361 
  1362 * New "eventually_elim" method as a generalized variant of the
  1363 eventually_elim* rules.  Supports structured proofs.
  1364 
  1365 * Typedef with implicit set definition is considered legacy.  Use
  1366 "typedef (open)" form instead, which will eventually become the
  1367 default.
  1368 
  1369 * Record: code generation can be switched off manually with
  1370 
  1371   declare [[record_coden = false]]  -- "default true"
  1372 
  1373 * Datatype: type parameters allow explicit sort constraints.
  1374 
  1375 * Concrete syntax for case expressions includes constraints for source
  1376 positions, and thus produces Prover IDE markup for its bindings.
  1377 INCOMPATIBILITY for old-style syntax translations that augment the
  1378 pattern notation; e.g. see src/HOL/HOLCF/One.thy for translations of
  1379 one_case.
  1380 
  1381 * Clarified attribute "mono_set": pure declaration without modifying
  1382 the result of the fact expression.
  1383 
  1384 * More default pred/set conversions on a couple of relation operations
  1385 and predicates.  Added powers of predicate relations.  Consolidation
  1386 of some relation theorems:
  1387 
  1388   converse_def ~> converse_unfold
  1389   rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
  1390   symp_def ~> (modified, use symp_def and sym_def instead)
  1391   transp_def ~> transp_trans
  1392   Domain_def ~> Domain_unfold
  1393   Range_def ~> Domain_converse [symmetric]
  1394 
  1395 Generalized theorems INF_INT_eq, INF_INT_eq2, SUP_UN_eq, SUP_UN_eq2.
  1396 
  1397 See theory "Relation" for examples for making use of pred/set
  1398 conversions by means of attributes "to_set" and "to_pred".
  1399 
  1400 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1401 
  1402 * Renamed facts about the power operation on relations, i.e., relpow
  1403 to match the constant's name:
  1404

  1431 
  1432 * Theory Relation: Consolidated constant name for relation composition
  1433 and corresponding theorem names:
  1434 
  1435   - Renamed constant rel_comp to relcomp.
  1436 
  1437   - Dropped abbreviation pred_comp. Use relcompp instead.

  1780 * New theory HOL/Library/DAList provides an abstract type for
  1781 association lists with distinct keys.
  1782 
  1783 * Session HOL/IMP: Added new theory of abstract interpretation of
  1784 annotated commands.
  1785 
  1786 * Session HOL-Import: Re-implementation from scratch is faster,
  1787 simpler, and more scalable.  Requires a proof bundle, which is
  1788 available as an external component.  Discontinued old (and mostly
  1789 dead) Importer for HOL4 and HOL Light.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1790 
  1791 * Session HOL-Word: Discontinued many redundant theorems specific to
  1792 type 'a word. INCOMPATIBILITY, use the corresponding generic theorems
  1793 instead.

  1837 * Session HOL-Word: New proof method "word_bitwise" for splitting
  1838 machine word equalities and inequalities into logical circuits,
  1839 defined in HOL/Word/WordBitwise.thy.  Supports addition, subtraction,
  1840 multiplication, shifting by constants, bitwise operators and numeric
  1841 constants.  Requires fixed-length word types, not 'a word.  Solves
  1842 many standard word identities outright and converts more into first
  1843 order problems amenable to blast or similar.  See also examples in
  1844 HOL/Word/Examples/WordExamples.thy.
  1845 
  1846 * Session HOL-Probability: Introduced the type "'a measure" to
  1847 represent measures, this replaces the records 'a algebra and 'a
  1848 measure_space.  The locales based on subset_class now have two
  1849 locale-parameters the space \<Omega> and the set of measurable sets M.
  1850 The product of probability spaces uses now the same constant as the
  1851 finite product of sigma-finite measure spaces "PiM :: ('i => 'a)
  1852 measure".  Most constants are defined now outside of locales and gain
  1853 an additional parameter, like null_sets, almost_eventually or \<mu>'.
  1854 Measure space constructions for distributions and densities now got
  1855 their own constants distr and density.  Instead of using locales to
  1856 describe measure spaces with a finite space, the measure count_space
  1857 and point_measure is introduced.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2019 * Session HOL-TPTP: support to parse and import TPTP problems (all
  2020 languages) into Isabelle/HOL.
  2021 
  2022 
  2023 *** FOL ***
  2024 
  2025 * New "case_product" attribute (see HOL).
  2026 
  2027 
  2028 *** ZF ***
  2029 
  2030 * Greater support for structured proofs involving induction or case
  2031 analysis.
  2032 
  2033 * Much greater use of mathematical symbols.
  2034 
  2035 * Removal of many ML theorem bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2036 
  2037 
  2038 *** ML ***
  2039 
  2040 * Antiquotation @{keyword "name"} produces a parser for outer syntax
  2041 from a minor keyword introduced via theory header declaration.
  2042 
  2043 * Antiquotation @{command_spec "name"} produces the
  2044 Outer_Syntax.command_spec from a major keyword introduced via theory
  2045 header declaration; it can be passed to Outer_Syntax.command etc.
  2046 
  2047 * Local_Theory.define no longer hard-wires default theorem name
  2048 "foo_def", but retains the binding as given.  If that is Binding.empty
  2049 / Attrib.empty_binding, the result is not registered as user-level
  2050 fact.  The Local_Theory.define_internal variant allows to specify a
  2051 non-empty name (used for the foundation in the background theory),
  2052 while omitting the fact binding in the user-context.  Potential
  2053 INCOMPATIBILITY for derived definitional packages: need to specify
  2054 naming policy for primitive definitions more explicitly.
  2055 
  2056 * Renamed Thm.capply to Thm.apply, and Thm.cabs to Thm.lambda in
  2057 conformance with similar operations in structure Term and Logic.
  2058 
  2059 * Antiquotation @{attributes [...]} embeds attribute source
  2060 representation into the ML text, which is particularly useful with
  2061 declarations like Local_Theory.note.
  2062 
  2063 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  2064 ProofContext has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2065 
  2066 * Refined Local_Theory.declaration {syntax, pervasive}, with subtle
  2067 change of semantics: update is applied to auxiliary local theory
  2068 context as well.
  2069 
  2070 * Modernized some old-style infix operations:

  2086 *** System ***
  2087 
  2088 * USER_HOME settings variable points to cross-platform user home
  2089 directory, which coincides with HOME on POSIX systems only.  Likewise,
  2090 the Isabelle path specification "~" now expands to $USER_HOME, instead
  2091 of former $HOME.  A different default for USER_HOME may be set
  2092 explicitly in shell environment, before Isabelle settings are
  2093 evaluated.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: need to adapt Isabelle path where
  2094 the generic user home was intended.
  2095 
  2096 * ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS refers to ISABELLE_HOME in windows file name
  2097 notation, which is useful for the jEdit file browser, for example.
  2098 
  2099 * ISABELLE_JDK_HOME settings variable points to JDK with javac and jar
  2100 (not just JRE).
  2101 
  2102 
  2103 
  2104 New in Isabelle2011-1 (October 2011)
  2105 ------------------------------------
  2106 
  2107 *** General ***
  2108 
  2109 * Improved Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE (PIDE), which can be invoked as
  2110 "isabelle jedit" or "ISABELLE_HOME/Isabelle" on the command line.
  2111 
  2112   - Management of multiple theory files directly from the editor
  2113     buffer store -- bypassing the file-system (no requirement to save
  2114     files for checking).
  2115 
  2116   - Markup of formal entities within the text buffer, with semantic
  2117     highlighting, tooltips and hyperlinks to jump to defining source
  2118     positions.
  2119 
  2120   - Improved text rendering, with sub/superscripts in the source
  2121     buffer (including support for copy/paste wrt. output panel, HTML
  2122     theory output and other non-Isabelle text boxes).
  2123 
  2124   - Refined scheduling of proof checking and printing of results,
  2125     based on interactive editor view.  (Note: jEdit folding and
  2126     narrowing allows to restrict buffer perspectives explicitly.)
  2127 
  2128   - Reduced CPU performance requirements, usable on machines with few
  2129     cores.
  2130 
  2131   - Reduced memory requirements due to pruning of unused document
  2132     versions (garbage collection).
  2133 
  2134 See also ~~/src/Tools/jEdit/README.html for further information,
  2135 including some remaining limitations.
  2136 
  2137 * Theory loader: source files are exclusively located via the master
  2138 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  2139 The global load path (such as src/HOL/Library) has been discontinued.
  2140 Note that the path element ~~ may be used to reference theories in the
  2141 Isabelle home folder -- for instance, "~~/src/HOL/Library/FuncSet".
  2142 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2143 
  2144 * Theory loader: source files are identified by content via SHA1
  2145 digests.  Discontinued former path/modtime identification and optional
  2146 ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT plugin scripts.
  2147 
  2148 * Parallelization of nested Isar proofs is subject to
  2149 Goal.parallel_proofs_threshold (default 100).  See also isabelle
  2150 usedir option -Q.
  2151 
  2152 * Name space: former unsynchronized references are now proper
  2153 configuration options, with more conventional names:
  2154 
  2155   long_names   ~> names_long
  2156   short_names  ~> names_short
  2157   unique_names ~> names_unique
  2158 
  2159 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, need to declare options in context like this:
  2160 
  2161   declare [[names_unique = false]]
  2162 
  2163 * Literal facts `prop` may contain dummy patterns, e.g. `_ = _`.  Note
  2164 that the result needs to be unique, which means fact specifications
  2165 may have to be refined after enriching a proof context.
  2166 
  2167 * Attribute "case_names" has been refined: the assumptions in each case
  2168 can be named now by following the case name with [name1 name2 ...].
  2169 
  2170 * Isabelle/Isar reference manual has been updated and extended:
  2171   - "Synopsis" provides a catalog of main Isar language concepts.
  2172   - Formal references in syntax diagrams, via @{rail} antiquotation.
  2173   - Updated material from classic "ref" manual, notably about
  2174     "Classical Reasoner".
  2175 
  2176 
  2177 *** HOL ***
  2178 
  2179 * Class bot and top require underlying partial order rather than
  2180 preorder: uniqueness of bot and top is guaranteed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2181 
  2182 * Class complete_lattice: generalized a couple of lemmas from sets;
  2183 generalized theorems INF_cong and SUP_cong.  New type classes for
  2184 complete boolean algebras and complete linear orders.  Lemmas
  2185 Inf_less_iff, less_Sup_iff, INF_less_iff, less_SUP_iff now reside in
  2186 class complete_linorder.
  2187 
  2188 Changed proposition of lemmas Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, Inf_fun_def,
  2189 Sup_fun_def, Inf_apply, Sup_apply.
  2190 
  2191 Removed redundant lemmas (the right hand side gives hints how to
  2192 replace them for (metis ...), or (simp only: ...) proofs):
  2193 
  2194   Inf_singleton ~> Inf_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Inf_empty inf_top_right]
  2195   Sup_singleton ~> Sup_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Sup_empty sup_bot_right]
  2196   Inf_binary ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  2197   Sup_binary ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  2198   Int_eq_Inter ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  2199   Un_eq_Union ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  2200   Inter_def ~> INF_def, image_def
  2201   Union_def ~> SUP_def, image_def
  2202   INT_eq ~> INF_def, and image_def
  2203   UN_eq ~> SUP_def, and image_def
  2204   INF_subset ~> INF_superset_mono [OF _ order_refl]
  2205 
  2206 More consistent and comprehensive names:
  2207 
  2208   INTER_eq_Inter_image ~> INF_def
  2209   UNION_eq_Union_image ~> SUP_def
  2210   INFI_def ~> INF_def
  2211   SUPR_def ~> SUP_def
  2212   INF_leI ~> INF_lower
  2213   INF_leI2 ~> INF_lower2

  2215   le_SUPI ~> SUP_upper
  2216   le_SUPI2 ~> SUP_upper2
  2217   SUP_leI ~> SUP_least
  2218   INFI_bool_eq ~> INF_bool_eq
  2219   SUPR_bool_eq ~> SUP_bool_eq
  2220   INFI_apply ~> INF_apply
  2221   SUPR_apply ~> SUP_apply
  2222   INTER_def ~> INTER_eq
  2223   UNION_def ~> UNION_eq
  2224 
  2225 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2226 
  2227 * Renamed theory Complete_Lattice to Complete_Lattices.
  2228 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2229 
  2230 * Theory Complete_Lattices: lemmas Inf_eq_top_iff, INF_eq_top_iff,
  2231 INF_image, Inf_insert, INF_top, Inf_top_conv, INF_top_conv, SUP_bot,
  2232 Sup_bot_conv, SUP_bot_conv, Sup_eq_top_iff, SUP_eq_top_iff, SUP_image,
  2233 Sup_insert are now declared as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2234 
  2235 * Theory Lattice: lemmas compl_inf_bot, compl_le_comp_iff,
  2236 compl_sup_top, inf_idem, inf_left_idem, inf_sup_absorb, sup_idem,
  2237 sup_inf_absob, sup_left_idem are now declared as [simp].  Minor
  2238 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2239 
  2240 * Added syntactic classes "inf" and "sup" for the respective
  2241 constants.  INCOMPATIBILITY: Changes in the argument order of the
  2242 (mostly internal) locale predicates for some derived classes.
  2243 
  2244 * Theorem collections ball_simps and bex_simps do not contain theorems
  2245 referring to UNION any longer; these have been moved to collection
  2246 UN_ball_bex_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2247 
  2248 * Theory Archimedean_Field: floor now is defined as parameter of a
  2249 separate type class floor_ceiling.
  2250 
  2251 * Theory Finite_Set: more coherent development of fold_set locales:
  2252 
  2253     locale fun_left_comm ~> locale comp_fun_commute
  2254     locale fun_left_comm_idem ~> locale comp_fun_idem
  2255 
  2256 Both use point-free characterization; interpretation proofs may need
  2257 adjustment.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2258 
  2259 * Theory Limits: Type "'a net" has been renamed to "'a filter", in
  2260 accordance with standard mathematical terminology. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2261 
  2262 * Theory Complex_Main: The locale interpretations for the
  2263 bounded_linear and bounded_bilinear locales have been removed, in
  2264 order to reduce the number of duplicate lemmas. Users must use the
  2265 original names for distributivity theorems, potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2360 
  2361 * Theory Complex_Main: The definition of infinite series was
  2362 generalized.  Now it is defined on the type class {topological_space,
  2363 comm_monoid_add}.  Hence it is useable also for extended real numbers.
  2364 
  2365 * Theory Complex_Main: The complex exponential function "expi" is now
  2366 a type-constrained abbreviation for "exp :: complex => complex"; thus
  2367 several polymorphic lemmas about "exp" are now applicable to "expi".
  2368 
  2369 * Code generation:
  2370 
  2371   - Theory Library/Code_Char_ord provides native ordering of
  2372     characters in the target language.
  2373 
  2374   - Commands code_module and code_library are legacy, use export_code
  2375     instead.
  2376 
  2377   - Method "evaluation" is legacy, use method "eval" instead.
  2378 
  2379   - Legacy evaluator "SML" is deactivated by default.  May be
  2380     reactivated by the following theory command:
  2381 
  2382       setup {* Value.add_evaluator ("SML", Codegen.eval_term) *}
  2383 
  2384 * Declare ext [intro] by default.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2385 
  2386 * New proof method "induction" that gives induction hypotheses the
  2387 name "IH", thus distinguishing them from further hypotheses that come
  2388 from rule induction.  The latter are still called "hyps".  Method
  2389 "induction" is a thin wrapper around "induct" and follows the same
  2390 syntax.
  2391 
  2392 * Method "fastsimp" has been renamed to "fastforce", but "fastsimp" is
  2393 still available as a legacy feature for some time.
  2394 
  2395 * Nitpick:
  2396   - Added "need" and "total_consts" options.
  2397   - Reintroduced "show_skolems" option by popular demand.
  2398   - Renamed attribute: nitpick_def ~> nitpick_unfold.
  2399     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2400 
  2401 * Sledgehammer:
  2402   - Use quasi-sound (and efficient) translations by default.
  2403   - Added support for the following provers: E-ToFoF, LEO-II,
  2404     Satallax, SNARK, Waldmeister, and Z3 with TPTP syntax.
  2405   - Automatically preplay and minimize proofs before showing them if
  2406     this can be done within reasonable time.
  2407   - sledgehammer available_provers ~> sledgehammer supported_provers.
  2408     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2409   - Added "preplay_timeout", "slicing", "type_enc", "sound",
  2410     "max_mono_iters", and "max_new_mono_instances" options.
  2411   - Removed "explicit_apply" and "full_types" options as well as "Full
  2412     Types" Proof General menu item. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2413 
  2414 * Metis:
  2415   - Removed "metisF" -- use "metis" instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2416   - Obsoleted "metisFT" -- use "metis (full_types)" instead.
  2417     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2418 
  2419 * Command 'try':
  2420   - Renamed 'try_methods' and added "simp:", "intro:", "dest:", and
  2421     "elim:" options. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2422   - Introduced 'try' that not only runs 'try_methods' but also
  2423     'solve_direct', 'sledgehammer', 'quickcheck', and 'nitpick'.
  2424 
  2425 * Quickcheck:
  2426   - Added "eval" option to evaluate terms for the found counterexample
  2427     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  2428   - Added post-processing of terms to obtain readable counterexamples
  2429     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  2430   - New counterexample generator quickcheck[narrowing] enables
  2431     narrowing-based testing.  Requires the Glasgow Haskell compiler
  2432     with its installation location defined in the Isabelle settings
  2433     environment as ISABELLE_GHC.
  2434   - Removed quickcheck tester "SML" based on the SML code generator
  2435     (formly in HOL/Library).
  2436 
  2437 * Function package: discontinued option "tailrec".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  2438 use 'partial_function' instead.
  2439 
  2440 * Theory Library/Extended_Reals replaces now the positive extended
  2441 reals found in probability theory. This file is extended by
  2442 Multivariate_Analysis/Extended_Real_Limits.
  2443 
  2444 * Theory Library/Old_Recdef: old 'recdef' package has been moved here,
  2445 from where it must be imported explicitly if it is really required.
  2446 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2447 
  2448 * Theory Library/Wfrec: well-founded recursion combinator "wfrec" has
  2449 been moved here.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2450 
  2451 * Theory Library/Saturated provides type of numbers with saturated
  2452 arithmetic.
  2453 
  2454 * Theory Library/Product_Lattice defines a pointwise ordering for the
  2455 product type 'a * 'b, and provides instance proofs for various order
  2456 and lattice type classes.
  2457 
  2458 * Theory Library/Countable now provides the "countable_datatype" proof
  2459 method for proving "countable" class instances for datatypes.
  2460 
  2461 * Theory Library/Cset_Monad allows do notation for computable sets
  2462 (cset) via the generic monad ad-hoc overloading facility.
  2463 
  2464 * Library: Theories of common data structures are split into theories
  2465 for implementation, an invariant-ensuring type, and connection to an
  2466 abstract type. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2467 
  2468   - RBT is split into RBT and RBT_Mapping.
  2469   - AssocList is split and renamed into AList and AList_Mapping.
  2470   - DList is split into DList_Impl, DList, and DList_Cset.
  2471   - Cset is split into Cset and List_Cset.
  2472 
  2473 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity has been renamed to
  2474 Library/Extended_Nat, with name changes of the following types and
  2475 constants:
  2476 
  2477   type inat   ~> type enat
  2478   Fin         ~> enat
  2479   Infty       ~> infinity (overloaded)
  2480   iSuc        ~> eSuc
  2481   the_Fin     ~> the_enat
  2482 
  2483 Every theorem name containing "inat", "Fin", "Infty", or "iSuc" has
  2484 been renamed accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2485 
  2486 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: The euclidean_space type class now
  2487 fixes a constant "Basis :: 'a set" consisting of the standard
  2488 orthonormal basis for the type. Users now have the option of
  2489 quantifying over this set instead of using the "basis" function, e.g.
  2490 "ALL x:Basis. P x" vs "ALL i<DIM('a). P (basis i)".
  2491 
  2492 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Type "('a, 'b) cart" has been renamed
  2493 to "('a, 'b) vec" (the syntax "'a ^ 'b" remains unaffected). Constants
  2494 "Cart_nth" and "Cart_lambda" have been respectively renamed to
  2495 "vec_nth" and "vec_lambda"; theorems mentioning those names have
  2496 changed to match. Definition theorems for overloaded constants now use
  2497 the standard "foo_vec_def" naming scheme. A few other theorems have
  2498 been renamed as follows (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  2597 *** Document preparation ***
  2598 
  2599 * Antiquotation @{rail} layouts railroad syntax diagrams, see also
  2600 isar-ref manual, both for description and actual application of the
  2601 same.
  2602 
  2603 * Antiquotation @{value} evaluates the given term and presents its
  2604 result.
  2605 
  2606 * Antiquotations: term style "isub" provides ad-hoc conversion of
  2607 variables x1, y23 into subscripted form x\<^isub>1,
  2608 y\<^isub>2\<^isub>3.
  2609 
  2610 * Predefined LaTeX macros for Isabelle symbols \<bind> and \<then>
  2611 (e.g. see ~~/src/HOL/Library/Monad_Syntax.thy).
  2612 
  2613 * Localized \isabellestyle switch can be used within blocks or groups
  2614 like this:
  2615 
  2616   \isabellestyle{it}  %preferred default
  2617   {\isabellestylett @{text "typewriter stuff"}}
  2618 
  2619 * Discontinued special treatment of hard tabulators.  Implicit
  2620 tab-width is now defined as 1.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for visual
  2621 layouts.
  2622 
  2623 
  2624 *** ML ***
  2625 
  2626 * The inner syntax of sort/type/term/prop supports inlined YXML
  2627 representations within quoted string tokens.  By encoding logical
  2628 entities via Term_XML (in ML or Scala) concrete syntax can be
  2629 bypassed, which is particularly useful for producing bits of text
  2630 under external program control.
  2631 
  2632 * Antiquotations for ML and document preparation are managed as theory
  2633 data, which requires explicit setup.
  2634 
  2635 * Isabelle_Process.is_active allows tools to check if the official
  2636 process wrapper is running (Isabelle/Scala/jEdit) or the old TTY loop
  2637 (better known as Proof General).
  2638 
  2639 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  2640 ProofContext is still available for some time as legacy alias.
  2641 
  2642 * Structure Timing provides various operations for timing; supersedes
  2643 former start_timing/end_timing etc.
  2644 
  2645 * Path.print is the official way to show file-system paths to users
  2646 (including quotes etc.).
  2647 
  2648 * Inner syntax: identifiers in parse trees of generic categories
  2649 "logic", "aprop", "idt" etc. carry position information (disguised as
  2650 type constraints).  Occasional INCOMPATIBILITY with non-compliant
  2651 translations that choke on unexpected type constraints.  Positions can
  2652 be stripped in ML translations via Syntax.strip_positions /
  2653 Syntax.strip_positions_ast, or via the syntax constant
  2654 "_strip_positions" within parse trees.  As last resort, positions can
  2655 be disabled via the configuration option Syntax.positions, which is
  2656 called "syntax_positions" in Isar attribute syntax.
  2657 
  2658 * Discontinued special status of various ML structures that contribute
  2659 to structure Syntax (Ast, Lexicon, Mixfix, Parser, Printer etc.): less
  2660 pervasive content, no inclusion in structure Syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  2661 refer directly to Ast.Constant, Lexicon.is_identifier,
  2662 Syntax_Trans.mk_binder_tr etc.
  2663 
  2664 * Typed print translation: discontinued show_sorts argument, which is
  2665 already available via context of "advanced" translation.
  2666 
  2667 * Refined PARALLEL_GOALS tactical: degrades gracefully for schematic
  2668 goal states; body tactic needs to address all subgoals uniformly.
  2669 
  2670 * Slightly more special eq_list/eq_set, with shortcut involving
  2671 pointer equality (assumes that eq relation is reflexive).
  2672 
  2673 * Classical tactics use proper Proof.context instead of historic types
  2674 claset/clasimpset.  Old-style declarations like addIs, addEs, addDs
  2675 operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type claset retains its use as
  2676 snapshot of the classical context, which can be recovered via
  2677 (put_claset HOL_cs) etc.  Type clasimpset has been discontinued.
  2678 INCOMPATIBILITY, classical tactics and derived proof methods require
  2679 proper Proof.context.
  2680 
  2681 
  2682 *** System ***
  2683 
  2684 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2, which was the last version
  2685 without proper multithreading and TimeLimit implementation.
  2686 
  2687 * Discontinued old lib/scripts/polyml-platform, which has been
  2688 obsolete since Isabelle2009-2.
  2689 
  2690 * Various optional external tools are referenced more robustly and
  2691 uniformly by explicit Isabelle settings as follows:
  2692 
  2693   ISABELLE_CSDP   (formerly CSDP_EXE)
  2694   ISABELLE_GHC    (formerly EXEC_GHC or GHC_PATH)
  2695   ISABELLE_OCAML  (formerly EXEC_OCAML)
  2696   ISABELLE_SWIPL  (formerly EXEC_SWIPL)
  2697   ISABELLE_YAP    (formerly EXEC_YAP)
  2698 
  2699 Note that automated detection from the file-system or search path has
  2700 been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2701 
  2702 * Scala layer provides JVM method invocation service for static
  2703 methods of type (String)String, see Invoke_Scala.method in ML.  For
  2704 example:
  2705 
  2706   Invoke_Scala.method "java.lang.System.getProperty" "java.home"
  2707 
  2708 Together with YXML.string_of_body/parse_body and XML.Encode/Decode
  2709 this allows to pass structured values between ML and Scala.
  2710 
  2711 * The IsabelleText fonts includes some further glyphs to support the
  2712 Prover IDE.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: users who happen to have
  2713 installed a local copy (which is normally *not* required) need to
  2714 delete or update it from ~~/lib/fonts/.
  2715 
  2716 
  2717 
  2718 New in Isabelle2011 (January 2011)
  2719 ----------------------------------
  2720 
  2721 *** General ***
  2722 
  2723 * Experimental Prover IDE based on Isabelle/Scala and jEdit (see
  2724 src/Tools/jEdit).  This also serves as IDE for Isabelle/ML, with
  2725 useful tooltips and hyperlinks produced from its static analysis.  The
  2726 bundled component provides an executable Isabelle tool that can be run
  2727 like this:
  2728 
  2729   Isabelle2011/bin/isabelle jedit
  2730 
  2731 * Significantly improved Isabelle/Isar implementation manual.
  2732 
  2733 * System settings: ISABELLE_HOME_USER now includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER
  2734 (and thus refers to something like $HOME/.isabelle/Isabelle2011),
  2735 while the default heap location within that directory lacks that extra
  2736 suffix.  This isolates multiple Isabelle installations from each
  2737 other, avoiding problems with old settings in new versions.
  2738 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to copy/upgrade old user settings manually.
  2739 
  2740 * Source files are always encoded as UTF-8, instead of old-fashioned
  2741 ISO-Latin-1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Isabelle LaTeX documents might require
  2742 the following package declarations:
  2743 
  2744   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
  2745   \usepackage{textcomp}
  2746 
  2747 * Explicit treatment of UTF-8 sequences as Isabelle symbols, such that
  2748 a Unicode character is treated as a single symbol, not a sequence of
  2749 non-ASCII bytes as before.  Since Isabelle/ML string literals may
  2750 contain symbols without further backslash escapes, Unicode can now be
  2751 used here as well.  Recall that Symbol.explode in ML provides a
  2752 consistent view on symbols, while raw explode (or String.explode)
  2753 merely give a byte-oriented representation.
  2754 
  2755 * Theory loader: source files are primarily located via the master
  2756 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  2757 The global load path is still partially available as legacy feature.
  2758 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY due to subtle change in file lookup: use
  2759 explicit paths, relatively to the theory.
  2760 
  2761 * Special treatment of ML file names has been discontinued.
  2762 Historically, optional extensions .ML or .sml were added on demand --
  2763 at the cost of clarity of file dependencies.  Recall that Isabelle/ML
  2764 files exclusively use the .ML extension.  Minor INCOMPATIBILTY.
  2765 
  2766 * Various options that affect pretty printing etc. are now properly
  2767 handled within the context via configuration options, instead of
  2768 unsynchronized references or print modes.  There are both ML Config.T
  2769 entities and Isar declaration attributes to access these.
  2770 
  2771   ML (Config.T)                 Isar (attribute)

  2794   Thy_Output.break              thy_output_break
  2795 
  2796 Note that corresponding "..._default" references in ML may only be
  2797 changed globally at the ROOT session setup, but *not* within a theory.
  2798 The option "show_abbrevs" supersedes the former print mode
  2799 "no_abbrevs" with inverted meaning.
  2800 
  2801 * More systematic naming of some configuration options.
  2802 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2803 
  2804   trace_simp  ~>  simp_trace
  2805   debug_simp  ~>  simp_debug
  2806 
  2807 * Support for real valued configuration options, using simplistic
  2808 floating-point notation that coincides with the inner syntax for
  2809 float_token.
  2810 
  2811 * Support for real valued preferences (with approximative PGIP type):
  2812 front-ends need to accept "pgint" values in float notation.
  2813 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2814 
  2815 * The IsabelleText font now includes Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic from
  2816 DejaVu Sans.
  2817 
  2818 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.0 and 5.1 versions.
  2819 
  2820 
  2821 *** Pure ***
  2822 
  2823 * Command 'type_synonym' (with single argument) replaces somewhat
  2824 outdated 'types', which is still available as legacy feature for some
  2825 time.
  2826 
  2827 * Command 'nonterminal' (with 'and' separated list of arguments)
  2828 replaces somewhat outdated 'nonterminals'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2829 
  2830 * Command 'notepad' replaces former 'example_proof' for
  2831 experimentation in Isar without any result.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2832 
  2833 * Locale interpretation commands 'interpret' and 'sublocale' accept
  2834 lists of equations to map definitions in a locale to appropriate
  2835 entities in the context of the interpretation.  The 'interpretation'
  2836 command already provided this functionality.
  2837 
  2838 * Diagnostic command 'print_dependencies' prints the locale instances
  2839 that would be activated if the specified expression was interpreted in
  2840 the current context.  Variant "print_dependencies!" assumes a context
  2841 without interpretations.
  2842 
  2843 * Diagnostic command 'print_interps' prints interpretations in proofs
  2844 in addition to interpretations in theories.
  2845 
  2846 * Discontinued obsolete 'global' and 'local' commands to manipulate
  2847 the theory name space.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.  The ML functions
  2848 Sign.root_path and Sign.local_path may be applied directly where this
  2849 feature is still required for historical reasons.
  2850 
  2851 * Discontinued obsolete 'constdefs' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  2852 'definition' instead.
  2853 
  2854 * The "prems" fact, which refers to the accidental collection of
  2855 foundational premises in the context, is now explicitly marked as
  2856 legacy feature and will be discontinued soon.  Consider using "assms"
  2857 of the head statement or reference facts by explicit names.
  2858 
  2859 * Document antiquotations @{class} and @{type} print classes and type
  2860 constructors.
  2861 
  2862 * Document antiquotation @{file} checks file/directory entries within
  2863 the local file system.
  2864 
  2865 
  2866 *** HOL ***
  2867 
  2868 * Coercive subtyping: functions can be declared as coercions and type
  2869 inference will add them as necessary upon input of a term.  Theory
  2870 Complex_Main declares real :: nat => real and real :: int => real as
  2871 coercions. A coercion function f is declared like this:
  2872 
  2873   declare [[coercion f]]
  2874 
  2875 To lift coercions through type constructors (e.g. from nat => real to
  2876 nat list => real list), map functions can be declared, e.g.
  2877 
  2878   declare [[coercion_map map]]
  2879 
  2880 Currently coercion inference is activated only in theories including
  2881 real numbers, i.e. descendants of Complex_Main.  This is controlled by
  2882 the configuration option "coercion_enabled", e.g. it can be enabled in
  2883 other theories like this:
  2884 
  2885   declare [[coercion_enabled]]
  2886 
  2887 * Command 'partial_function' provides basic support for recursive
  2888 function definitions over complete partial orders.  Concrete instances
  2889 are provided for i) the option type, ii) tail recursion on arbitrary
  2890 types, and iii) the heap monad of Imperative_HOL.  See
  2891 src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy and src/HOL/Imperative_HOL/ex/Linked_Lists.thy
  2892 for examples.
  2893 
  2894 * Function package: f.psimps rules are no longer implicitly declared
  2895 as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2896 
  2897 * Datatype package: theorems generated for executable equality (class
  2898 "eq") carry proper names and are treated as default code equations.
  2899 
  2900 * Inductive package: now offers command 'inductive_simps' to
  2901 automatically derive instantiated and simplified equations for
  2902 inductive predicates, similar to 'inductive_cases'.
  2903 
  2904 * Command 'enriched_type' allows to register properties of the
  2905 functorial structure of types.
  2906 
  2907 * Improved infrastructure for term evaluation using code generator
  2908 techniques, in particular static evaluation conversions.
  2909 
  2910 * Code generator: Scala (2.8 or higher) has been added to the target
  2911 languages.
  2912 
  2913 * Code generator: globbing constant expressions "*" and "Theory.*"
  2914 have been replaced by the more idiomatic "_" and "Theory._".
  2915 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2916 
  2917 * Code generator: export_code without explicit file declaration prints
  2918 to standard output.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2919 
  2920 * Code generator: do not print function definitions for case
  2921 combinators any longer.
  2922 
  2923 * Code generator: simplification with rules determined with
  2924 src/Tools/Code/code_simp.ML and method "code_simp".
  2925 
  2926 * Code generator for records: more idiomatic representation of record
  2927 types.  Warning: records are not covered by ancient SML code
  2928 generation any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  In cases of need, a suitable
  2929 rep_datatype declaration helps to succeed then:
  2930 
  2931   record 'a foo = ...
  2932   ...
  2933   rep_datatype foo_ext ...
  2934 
  2935 * Records: logical foundation type for records does not carry a
  2936 '_type' suffix any longer (obsolete due to authentic syntax).
  2937 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2938 
  2939 * Quickcheck now by default uses exhaustive testing instead of random
  2940 testing.  Random testing can be invoked by "quickcheck [random]",
  2941 exhaustive testing by "quickcheck [exhaustive]".
  2942 
  2943 * Quickcheck instantiates polymorphic types with small finite
  2944 datatypes by default. This enables a simple execution mechanism to
  2945 handle quantifiers and function equality over the finite datatypes.
  2946 
  2947 * Quickcheck random generator has been renamed from "code" to
  2948 "random".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2949 
  2950 * Quickcheck now has a configurable time limit which is set to 30
  2951 seconds by default. This can be changed by adding [timeout = n] to the
  2952 quickcheck command. The time limit for Auto Quickcheck is still set
  2953 independently.
  2954 
  2955 * Quickcheck in locales considers interpretations of that locale for
  2956 counter example search.
  2957 
  2958 * Sledgehammer:
  2959   - Added "smt" and "remote_smt" provers based on the "smt" proof
  2960     method. See the Sledgehammer manual for details ("isabelle doc
  2961     sledgehammer").
  2962   - Renamed commands:
  2963     sledgehammer atp_info ~> sledgehammer running_provers
  2964     sledgehammer atp_kill ~> sledgehammer kill_provers
  2965     sledgehammer available_atps ~> sledgehammer available_provers
  2966     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2967   - Renamed options:
  2968     sledgehammer [atps = ...] ~> sledgehammer [provers = ...]
  2969     sledgehammer [atp = ...] ~> sledgehammer [prover = ...]
  2970     sledgehammer [timeout = 77 s] ~> sledgehammer [timeout = 77]
  2971     (and "ms" and "min" are no longer supported)
  2972     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2973 
  2974 * Nitpick:
  2975   - Renamed options:
  2976     nitpick [timeout = 77 s] ~> nitpick [timeout = 77]
  2977     nitpick [tac_timeout = 777 ms] ~> nitpick [tac_timeout = 0.777]
  2978     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2979   - Added support for partial quotient types.
  2980   - Added local versions of the "Nitpick.register_xxx" functions.
  2981   - Added "whack" option.
  2982   - Allow registration of quotient types as codatatypes.
  2983   - Improved "merge_type_vars" option to merge more types.
  2984   - Removed unsound "fast_descrs" option.
  2985   - Added custom symmetry breaking for datatypes, making it possible to reach
  2986     higher cardinalities.
  2987   - Prevent the expansion of too large definitions.
  2988 
  2989 * Proof methods "metis" and "meson" now have configuration options
  2990 "meson_trace", "metis_trace", and "metis_verbose" that can be enabled
  2991 to diagnose these tools. E.g.
  2992 
  2993     using [[metis_trace = true]]
  2994 
  2995 * Auto Solve: Renamed "Auto Solve Direct".  The tool is now available
  2996 manually as command 'solve_direct'.
  2997 
  2998 * The default SMT solver Z3 must be enabled explicitly (due to
  2999 licensing issues) by setting the environment variable
  3000 Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL in etc/settings of the component, for example.  For
  3001 commercial applications, the SMT solver CVC3 is provided as fall-back;
  3002 changing the SMT solver is done via the configuration option
  3003 "smt_solver".
  3004 
  3005 * Remote SMT solvers need to be referred to by the "remote_" prefix,
  3006 i.e. "remote_cvc3" and "remote_z3".
  3007 
  3008 * Added basic SMT support for datatypes, records, and typedefs using
  3009 the oracle mode (no proofs).  Direct support of pairs has been dropped
  3010 in exchange (pass theorems fst_conv snd_conv pair_collapse to the SMT
  3011 support for a similar behavior).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3012 
  3013 * Changed SMT configuration options:
  3014   - Renamed:
  3015     z3_proofs ~> smt_oracle (with inverted meaning)
  3016     z3_trace_assms ~> smt_trace_used_facts
  3017     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3018   - Added:
  3019     smt_verbose
  3020     smt_random_seed
  3021     smt_datatypes
  3022     smt_infer_triggers
  3023     smt_monomorph_limit
  3024     cvc3_options
  3025     remote_cvc3_options
  3026     remote_z3_options
  3027     yices_options
  3028 
  3029 * Boogie output files (.b2i files) need to be declared in the theory
  3030 header.
  3031 
  3032 * Simplification procedure "list_to_set_comprehension" rewrites list
  3033 comprehensions applied to List.set to set comprehensions.  Occasional
  3034 INCOMPATIBILITY, may be deactivated like this:
  3035 
  3036   declare [[simproc del: list_to_set_comprehension]]
  3037 
  3038 * Removed old version of primrec package.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3039 
  3040 * Removed simplifier congruence rule of "prod_case", as has for long
  3041 been the case with "split".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3042 
  3043 * String.literal is a type, but not a datatype.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3044 
  3045 * Removed [split_format ... and ... and ...] version of
  3046 [split_format].  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3047 
  3048 * Predicate "sorted" now defined inductively, with nice induction
  3049 rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY: former sorted.simps now named sorted_simps.
  3050 
  3051 * Constant "contents" renamed to "the_elem", to free the generic name
  3052 contents for other uses.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3053 
  3054 * Renamed class eq and constant eq (for code generation) to class
  3055 equal and constant equal, plus renaming of related facts and various
  3056 tuning.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3057 
  3058 * Dropped type classes mult_mono and mult_mono1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3059 
  3060 * Removed output syntax "'a ~=> 'b" for "'a => 'b option".
  3061 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3062 
  3063 * Renamed theory Fset to Cset, type Fset.fset to Cset.set, in order to
  3064 avoid confusion with finite sets.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3065 
  3066 * Abandoned locales equiv, congruent and congruent2 for equivalence
  3067 relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use equivI rather than equiv_intro (same
  3068 for congruent(2)).
  3069 
  3070 * Some previously unqualified names have been qualified:
  3071 
  3072   types
  3073     bool ~> HOL.bool
  3074     nat ~> Nat.nat
  3075 
  3076   constants
  3077     Trueprop ~> HOL.Trueprop
  3078     True ~> HOL.True
  3079     False ~> HOL.False
  3080     op & ~> HOL.conj
  3081     op | ~> HOL.disj
  3082     op --> ~> HOL.implies
  3083     op = ~> HOL.eq
  3084     Not ~> HOL.Not
  3085     The ~> HOL.The
  3086     All ~> HOL.All

  3091     Ball ~> Set.Ball
  3092     Bex ~> Set.Bex
  3093     Suc ~> Nat.Suc
  3094     Pair ~> Product_Type.Pair
  3095     fst ~> Product_Type.fst
  3096     snd ~> Product_Type.snd
  3097     curry ~> Product_Type.curry
  3098     op : ~> Set.member
  3099     Collect ~> Set.Collect
  3100 
  3101 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3102 
  3103 * More canonical naming convention for some fundamental definitions:
  3104 
  3105     bot_bool_eq ~> bot_bool_def
  3106     top_bool_eq ~> top_bool_def
  3107     inf_bool_eq ~> inf_bool_def
  3108     sup_bool_eq ~> sup_bool_def
  3109     bot_fun_eq  ~> bot_fun_def
  3110     top_fun_eq  ~> top_fun_def
  3111     inf_fun_eq  ~> inf_fun_def
  3112     sup_fun_eq  ~> sup_fun_def
  3113 
  3114 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3115 
  3116 * More stylized fact names:
  3117 
  3118   expand_fun_eq ~> fun_eq_iff
  3119   expand_set_eq ~> set_eq_iff
  3120   set_ext       ~> set_eqI
  3121   nat_number    ~> eval_nat_numeral
  3122 
  3123 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3124 
  3125 * Refactoring of code-generation specific operations in theory List:
  3126 
  3127   constants
  3128     null ~> List.null
  3129 
  3130   facts
  3131     mem_iff ~> member_def
  3132     null_empty ~> null_def
  3133 
  3134 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that these were not supposed to be used
  3135 regularly unless for striking reasons; their main purpose was code
  3136 generation.
  3137 
  3138 Various operations from the Haskell prelude are used for generating
  3139 Haskell code.
  3140 
  3141 * Term "bij f" is now an abbreviation of "bij_betw f UNIV UNIV".  Term
  3142 "surj f" is now an abbreviation of "range f = UNIV".  The theorems
  3143 bij_def and surj_def are unchanged.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3144 
  3145 * Abolished some non-alphabetic type names: "prod" and "sum" replace
  3146 "*" and "+" respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3147 
  3148 * Name "Plus" of disjoint sum operator "<+>" is now hidden.  Write
  3149 "Sum_Type.Plus" instead.
  3150 
  3151 * Constant "split" has been merged with constant "prod_case"; names of
  3152 ML functions, facts etc. involving split have been retained so far,
  3153 though.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3154 
  3155 * Dropped old infix syntax "_ mem _" for List.member; use "_ : set _"
  3156 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3157 
  3158 * Removed lemma "Option.is_none_none" which duplicates "is_none_def".
  3159 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3160 
  3161 * Former theory Library/Enum is now part of the HOL-Main image.
  3162 INCOMPATIBILITY: all constants of the Enum theory now have to be
  3163 referred to by its qualified name.
  3164 
  3165   enum    ~>  Enum.enum
  3166   nlists  ~>  Enum.nlists
  3167   product ~>  Enum.product
  3168 
  3169 * Theory Library/Monad_Syntax provides do-syntax for monad types.
  3170 Syntax in Library/State_Monad has been changed to avoid ambiguities.
  3171 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3172 
  3173 * Theory Library/SetsAndFunctions has been split into
  3174 Library/Function_Algebras and Library/Set_Algebras; canonical names
  3175 for instance definitions for functions; various improvements.
  3176 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3177 
  3178 * Theory Library/Multiset provides stable quicksort implementation of
  3179 sort_key.
  3180 
  3181 * Theory Library/Multiset: renamed empty_idemp ~> empty_neutral.
  3182 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3183 
  3184 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: introduced a type class for euclidean
  3185 space.  Most theorems are now stated in terms of euclidean spaces
  3186 instead of finite cartesian products.
  3187 
  3188   types
  3189     real ^ 'n ~>  'a::real_vector
  3190               ~>  'a::euclidean_space
  3191               ~>  'a::ordered_euclidean_space
  3192         (depends on your needs)
  3193 
  3194   constants
  3195      _ $ _        ~> _ $$ _
  3196      \<chi> x. _  ~> \<chi>\<chi> x. _
  3197      CARD('n)     ~> DIM('a)
  3198 
  3199 Also note that the indices are now natural numbers and not from some
  3200 finite type. Finite cartesian products of euclidean spaces, products
  3201 of euclidean spaces the real and complex numbers are instantiated to
  3202 be euclidean_spaces.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3203 
  3204 * Session Probability: introduced pextreal as positive extended real
  3205 numbers.  Use pextreal as value for measures.  Introduce the
  3206 Radon-Nikodym derivative, product spaces and Fubini's theorem for
  3207 arbitrary sigma finite measures.  Introduces Lebesgue measure based on
  3208 the integral in Multivariate Analysis.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3209 
  3210 * Session Imperative_HOL: revamped, corrected dozens of inadequacies.
  3211 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3212 
  3213 * Session SPARK (with image HOL-SPARK) provides commands to load and
  3214 prove verification conditions generated by the SPARK Ada program
  3215 verifier.  See also src/HOL/SPARK and src/HOL/SPARK/Examples.
  3216 
  3217 
  3218 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  3219 
  3220 * Theorems for additive ring operations (locale abelian_monoid and
  3221 descendants) are generated by interpretation from their multiplicative
  3222 counterparts.  Names (in particular theorem names) have the mandatory
  3223 qualifier 'add'.  Previous theorem names are redeclared for
  3224 compatibility.
  3225 
  3226 * Structure "int_ring" is now an abbreviation (previously a
  3227 definition).  This fits more natural with advanced interpretations.
  3228 
  3229 
  3230 *** HOLCF ***
  3231 
  3232 * The domain package now runs in definitional mode by default: The
  3233 former command 'new_domain' is now called 'domain'.  To use the domain
  3234 package in its original axiomatic mode, use 'domain (unsafe)'.
  3235 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3236 
  3237 * The new class "domain" is now the default sort.  Class "predomain"
  3238 is an unpointed version of "domain". Theories can be updated by
  3239 replacing sort annotations as shown below.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3240 
  3241   'a::type ~> 'a::countable
  3242   'a::cpo  ~> 'a::predomain
  3243   'a::pcpo ~> 'a::domain
  3244 
  3245 * The old type class "rep" has been superseded by class "domain".
  3246 Accordingly, users of the definitional package must remove any
  3247 "default_sort rep" declarations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3248 
  3249 * The domain package (definitional mode) now supports unpointed
  3250 predomain argument types, as long as they are marked 'lazy'. (Strict
  3251 arguments must be in class "domain".) For example, the following
  3252 domain definition now works:
  3253 
  3254   domain natlist = nil | cons (lazy "nat discr") (lazy "natlist")
  3255 
  3256 * Theory HOLCF/Library/HOL_Cpo provides cpo and predomain class
  3257 instances for types from main HOL: bool, nat, int, char, 'a + 'b,
  3258 'a option, and 'a list.  Additionally, it configures fixrec and the
  3259 domain package to work with these types.  For example:
  3260 
  3261   fixrec isInl :: "('a + 'b) u -> tr"
  3262     where "isInl$(up$(Inl x)) = TT" | "isInl$(up$(Inr y)) = FF"
  3263 
  3264   domain V = VFun (lazy "V -> V") | VCon (lazy "nat") (lazy "V list")
  3265 
  3266 * The "(permissive)" option of fixrec has been replaced with a
  3267 per-equation "(unchecked)" option. See
  3268 src/HOL/HOLCF/Tutorial/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3269 
  3270 * The "bifinite" class no longer fixes a constant "approx"; the class
  3271 now just asserts that such a function exists.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3272 
  3273 * Former type "alg_defl" has been renamed to "defl".  HOLCF no longer
  3274 defines an embedding of type 'a defl into udom by default; instances
  3275 of "bifinite" and "domain" classes are available in
  3276 src/HOL/HOLCF/Library/Defl_Bifinite.thy.
  3277 
  3278 * The syntax "REP('a)" has been replaced with "DEFL('a)".
  3279 
  3280 * The predicate "directed" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3281 
  3282 * The type class "finite_po" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3283 
  3284 * The function "cprod_map" has been renamed to "prod_map".
  3285 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3286 
  3287 * The monadic bind operator on each powerdomain has new binder syntax
  3288 similar to sets, e.g. "\<Union>\<sharp>x\<in>xs. t" represents
  3289 "upper_bind\<cdot>xs\<cdot>(\<Lambda> x. t)".
  3290 
  3291 * The infix syntax for binary union on each powerdomain has changed
  3292 from e.g. "+\<sharp>" to "\<union>\<sharp>", for consistency with set
  3293 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3294 
  3295 * The constant "UU" has been renamed to "bottom".  The syntax "UU" is
  3296 still supported as an input translation.
  3297 
  3298 * Renamed some theorems (the original names are also still available).
  3299 
  3300   expand_fun_below   ~> fun_below_iff
  3301   below_fun_ext      ~> fun_belowI
  3302   expand_cfun_eq     ~> cfun_eq_iff
  3303   ext_cfun           ~> cfun_eqI
  3304   expand_cfun_below  ~> cfun_below_iff
  3305   below_cfun_ext     ~> cfun_belowI
  3306   cont2cont_Rep_CFun ~> cont2cont_APP
  3307 
  3308 * The Abs and Rep functions for various types have changed names.
  3309 Related theorem names have also changed to match. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3310 
  3311   Rep_CFun  ~> Rep_cfun
  3312   Abs_CFun  ~> Abs_cfun
  3313   Rep_Sprod ~> Rep_sprod
  3314   Abs_Sprod ~> Abs_sprod
  3315   Rep_Ssum  ~> Rep_ssum
  3316   Abs_Ssum  ~> Abs_ssum
  3317 
  3318 * Lemmas with names of the form *_defined_iff or *_strict_iff have
  3319 been renamed to *_bottom_iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3320 
  3321 * Various changes to bisimulation/coinduction with domain package:
  3322 
  3323   - Definitions of "bisim" constants no longer mention definedness.
  3324   - With mutual recursion, "bisim" predicate is now curried.
  3325   - With mutual recursion, each type gets a separate coind theorem.
  3326   - Variable names in bisim_def and coinduct rules have changed.
  3327 
  3328 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3329 
  3330 * Case combinators generated by the domain package for type "foo" are
  3331 now named "foo_case" instead of "foo_when".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3332 
  3333 * Several theorems have been renamed to more accurately reflect the
  3334 names of constants and types involved.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3406 *** FOL and ZF ***
  3407 
  3408 * All constant names are now qualified internally and use proper
  3409 identifiers, e.g. "IFOL.eq" instead of "op =".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3410 
  3411 
  3412 *** ML ***
  3413 
  3414 * Antiquotation @{assert} inlines a function bool -> unit that raises
  3415 Fail if the argument is false.  Due to inlining the source position of
  3416 failed assertions is included in the error output.
  3417 
  3418 * Discontinued antiquotation @{theory_ref}, which is obsolete since ML
  3419 text is in practice always evaluated with a stable theory checkpoint.
  3420 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use (Theory.check_thy @{theory}) instead.
  3421 
  3422 * Antiquotation @{theory A} refers to theory A from the ancestry of
  3423 the current context, not any accidental theory loader state as before.
  3424 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, subtle change in semantics.
  3425 
  3426 * Syntax.pretty_priority (default 0) configures the required priority
  3427 of pretty-printed output and thus affects insertion of parentheses.
  3428 
  3429 * Syntax.default_root (default "any") configures the inner syntax
  3430 category (nonterminal symbol) for parsing of terms.
  3431 
  3432 * Former exception Library.UnequalLengths now coincides with
  3433 ListPair.UnequalLengths.
  3434 
  3435 * Renamed structure MetaSimplifier to Raw_Simplifier.  Note that the
  3436 main functionality is provided by structure Simplifier.
  3437 
  3438 * Renamed raw "explode" function to "raw_explode" to emphasize its
  3439 meaning.  Note that internally to Isabelle, Symbol.explode is used in
  3440 almost all situations.
  3441 
  3442 * Discontinued obsolete function sys_error and exception SYS_ERROR.
  3443 See implementation manual for further details on exceptions in
  3444 Isabelle/ML.
  3445 
  3446 * Renamed setmp_noncritical to Unsynchronized.setmp to emphasize its
  3447 meaning.
  3448 
  3449 * Renamed structure PureThy to Pure_Thy and moved most of its
  3450 operations to structure Global_Theory, to emphasize that this is
  3451 rarely-used global-only stuff.
  3452 
  3453 * Discontinued Output.debug.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use plain writeln
  3454 instead (or tracing for high-volume output).
  3455 
  3456 * Configuration option show_question_marks only affects regular pretty
  3457 printing of types and terms, not raw Term.string_of_vname.
  3458 
  3459 * ML_Context.thm and ML_Context.thms are no longer pervasive.  Rare
  3460 INCOMPATIBILITY, superseded by static antiquotations @{thm} and
  3461 @{thms} for most purposes.
  3462 
  3463 * ML structure Unsynchronized is never opened, not even in Isar
  3464 interaction mode as before.  Old Unsynchronized.set etc. have been
  3465 discontinued -- use plain := instead.  This should be *rare* anyway,
  3466 since modern tools always work via official context data, notably
  3467 configuration options.
  3468 
  3469 * Parallel and asynchronous execution requires special care concerning
  3470 interrupts.  Structure Exn provides some convenience functions that
  3471 avoid working directly with raw Interrupt.  User code must not absorb
  3472 interrupts -- intermediate handling (for cleanup etc.) needs to be
  3473 followed by re-raising of the original exception.  Another common
  3474 source of mistakes are "handle _" patterns, which make the meaning of
  3475 the program subject to physical effects of the environment.
  3476

  3478 
  3479 New in Isabelle2009-2 (June 2010)
  3480 ---------------------------------
  3481 
  3482 *** General ***
  3483 
  3484 * Authentic syntax for *all* logical entities (type classes, type
  3485 constructors, term constants): provides simple and robust
  3486 correspondence between formal entities and concrete syntax.  Within
  3487 the parse tree / AST representations, "constants" are decorated by
  3488 their category (class, type, const) and spelled out explicitly with
  3489 their full internal name.
  3490 
  3491 Substantial INCOMPATIBILITY concerning low-level syntax declarations
  3492 and translations (translation rules and translation functions in ML).
  3493 Some hints on upgrading:
  3494 
  3495   - Many existing uses of 'syntax' and 'translations' can be replaced
  3496     by more modern 'type_notation', 'notation' and 'abbreviation',
  3497     which are independent of this issue.
  3498 
  3499   - 'translations' require markup within the AST; the term syntax
  3500     provides the following special forms:
  3501 
  3502       CONST c   -- produces syntax version of constant c from context
  3503       XCONST c  -- literally c, checked as constant from context
  3504       c         -- literally c, if declared by 'syntax'
  3505 
  3506     Plain identifiers are treated as AST variables -- occasionally the
  3507     system indicates accidental variables via the error "rhs contains
  3508     extra variables".
  3509 
  3510     Type classes and type constructors are marked according to their
  3511     concrete syntax.  Some old translations rules need to be written
  3512     for the "type" category, using type constructor application
  3513     instead of pseudo-term application of the default category
  3514     "logic".
  3515 
  3516   - 'parse_translation' etc. in ML may use the following
  3517     antiquotations:
  3518 
  3519       @{class_syntax c}   -- type class c within parse tree / AST
  3520       @{term_syntax c}    -- type constructor c within parse tree / AST
  3521       @{const_syntax c}   -- ML version of "CONST c" above
  3522       @{syntax_const c}   -- literally c (checked wrt. 'syntax' declarations)
  3523 
  3524   - Literal types within 'typed_print_translations', i.e. those *not*
  3525     represented as pseudo-terms are represented verbatim.  Use @{class
  3526     c} or @{type_name c} here instead of the above syntax
  3527     antiquotations.
  3528 
  3529 Note that old non-authentic syntax was based on unqualified base
  3530 names, so all of the above "constant" names would coincide.  Recall
  3531 that 'print_syntax' and ML_command "set Syntax.trace_ast" help to
  3532 diagnose syntax problems.
  3533 
  3534 * Type constructors admit general mixfix syntax, not just infix.
  3535 
  3536 * Concrete syntax may be attached to local entities without a proof
  3537 body, too.  This works via regular mixfix annotations for 'fix',
  3538 'def', 'obtain' etc. or via the explicit 'write' command, which is
  3539 similar to the 'notation' command in theory specifications.
  3540 
  3541 * Discontinued unnamed infix syntax (legacy feature for many years) --
  3542 need to specify constant name and syntax separately.  Internal ML
  3543 datatype constructors have been renamed from InfixName to Infix etc.
  3544 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3545 
  3546 * Schematic theorem statements need to be explicitly markup as such,
  3547 via commands 'schematic_lemma', 'schematic_theorem',
  3548 'schematic_corollary'.  Thus the relevance of the proof is made
  3549 syntactically clear, which impacts performance in a parallel or
  3550 asynchronous interactive environment.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3551 
  3552 * Use of cumulative prems via "!" in some proof methods has been
  3553 discontinued (old legacy feature).
  3554 
  3555 * References 'trace_simp' and 'debug_simp' have been replaced by
  3556 configuration options stored in the context. Enabling tracing (the
  3557 case of debugging is similar) in proofs works via
  3558 
  3559   using [[trace_simp = true]]
  3560 
  3561 Tracing is then active for all invocations of the simplifier in
  3562 subsequent goal refinement steps. Tracing may also still be enabled or
  3563 disabled via the ProofGeneral settings menu.
  3564 
  3565 * Separate commands 'hide_class', 'hide_type', 'hide_const',
  3566 'hide_fact' replace the former 'hide' KIND command.  Minor
  3567 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3568 
  3569 * Improved parallelism of proof term normalization: usedir -p2 -q0 is
  3570 more efficient than combinations with -q1 or -q2.
  3571 
  3572 
  3573 *** Pure ***
  3574 
  3575 * Proofterms record type-class reasoning explicitly, using the
  3576 "unconstrain" operation internally.  This eliminates all sort
  3577 constraints from a theorem and proof, introducing explicit
  3578 OFCLASS-premises.  On the proof term level, this operation is
  3579 automatically applied at theorem boundaries, such that closed proofs
  3580 are always free of sort constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools that
  3581 inspect proof terms.
  3582 
  3583 * Local theory specifications may depend on extra type variables that
  3584 are not present in the result type -- arguments TYPE('a) :: 'a itself
  3585 are added internally.  For example:
  3586 
  3587   definition unitary :: bool where "unitary = (ALL (x::'a) y. x = y)"
  3588 
  3589 * Predicates of locales introduced by classes carry a mandatory
  3590 "class" prefix.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3591 
  3592 * Vacuous class specifications observe default sort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3593 
  3594 * Old 'axclass' command has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  3595 'class' instead.
  3596 
  3597 * Command 'code_reflect' allows to incorporate generated ML code into
  3598 runtime environment; replaces immature code_datatype antiquotation.
  3599 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3600 
  3601 * Code generator: simple concept for abstract datatypes obeying
  3602 invariants.
  3603 
  3604 * Code generator: details of internal data cache have no impact on the
  3605 user space functionality any longer.
  3606 
  3607 * Methods "unfold_locales" and "intro_locales" ignore non-locale
  3608 subgoals.  This is more appropriate for interpretations with 'where'.
  3609 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3610 
  3611 * Command 'example_proof' opens an empty proof body.  This allows to
  3612 experiment with Isar, without producing any persistent result.
  3613 
  3614 * Commands 'type_notation' and 'no_type_notation' declare type syntax
  3615 within a local theory context, with explicit checking of the
  3616 constructors involved (in contrast to the raw 'syntax' versions).
  3617 
  3618 * Commands 'types' and 'typedecl' now work within a local theory
  3619 context -- without introducing dependencies on parameters or
  3620 assumptions, which is not possible in Isabelle/Pure.
  3621 
  3622 * Command 'defaultsort' has been renamed to 'default_sort', it works
  3623 within a local theory context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3624 
  3625 
  3626 *** HOL ***
  3627 
  3628 * Command 'typedef' now works within a local theory context -- without
  3629 introducing dependencies on parameters or assumptions, which is not
  3630 possible in Isabelle/Pure/HOL.  Note that the logical environment may
  3631 contain multiple interpretations of local typedefs (with different
  3632 non-emptiness proofs), even in a global theory context.
  3633 
  3634 * New package for quotient types.  Commands 'quotient_type' and
  3635 'quotient_definition' may be used for defining types and constants by
  3636 quotient constructions.  An example is the type of integers created by
  3637 quotienting pairs of natural numbers:
  3638 
  3639   fun
  3640     intrel :: "(nat * nat) => (nat * nat) => bool"
  3641   where
  3642     "intrel (x, y) (u, v) = (x + v = u + y)"
  3643 
  3644   quotient_type int = "nat * nat" / intrel
  3645     by (auto simp add: equivp_def expand_fun_eq)
  3646 
  3647   quotient_definition
  3648     "0::int" is "(0::nat, 0::nat)"
  3649 
  3650 The method "lifting" can be used to lift of theorems from the
  3651 underlying "raw" type to the quotient type.  The example
  3652 src/HOL/Quotient_Examples/FSet.thy includes such a quotient
  3653 construction and provides a reasoning infrastructure for finite sets.
  3654 
  3655 * Renamed Library/Quotient.thy to Library/Quotient_Type.thy to avoid
  3656 clash with new theory Quotient in Main HOL.
  3657 
  3658 * Moved the SMT binding into the main HOL session, eliminating
  3659 separate HOL-SMT session.
  3660 
  3661 * List membership infix mem operation is only an input abbreviation.
  3662 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3663 
  3664 * Theory Library/Word.thy has been removed.  Use library Word/Word.thy
  3665 for future developements; former Library/Word.thy is still present in
  3666 the AFP entry RSAPPS.
  3667 
  3668 * Theorem Int.int_induct renamed to Int.int_of_nat_induct and is no
  3669 longer shadowed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3670 
  3671 * Dropped theorem duplicate comp_arith; use semiring_norm instead.
  3672 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3673 
  3674 * Dropped theorem RealPow.real_sq_order; use power2_le_imp_le instead.
  3675 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3676 
  3677 * Dropped normalizing_semiring etc; use the facts in semiring classes
  3678 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3679 
  3680 * Dropped several real-specific versions of lemmas about floor and
  3681 ceiling; use the generic lemmas from theory "Archimedean_Field"
  3682 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3714 
  3715 * Theory "Finite_Set": various folding_XXX locales facilitate the
  3716 application of the various fold combinators on finite sets.
  3717 
  3718 * Library theory "RBT" renamed to "RBT_Impl"; new library theory "RBT"
  3719 provides abstract red-black tree type which is backed by "RBT_Impl" as
  3720 implementation.  INCOMPATIBILTY.
  3721 
  3722 * Theory Library/Coinductive_List has been removed -- superseded by
  3723 AFP/thys/Coinductive.
  3724 
  3725 * Theory PReal, including the type "preal" and related operations, has
  3726 been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3727 
  3728 * Real: new development using Cauchy Sequences.
  3729 
  3730 * Split off theory "Big_Operators" containing setsum, setprod,
  3731 Inf_fin, Sup_fin, Min, Max from theory Finite_Set.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3732 
  3733 * Theory "Rational" renamed to "Rat", for consistency with "Nat",
  3734 "Int" etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3735 
  3736 * Constant Rat.normalize needs to be qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3737 
  3738 * New set of rules "ac_simps" provides combined assoc / commute
  3739 rewrites for all interpretations of the appropriate generic locales.
  3740 
  3741 * Renamed theory "OrderedGroup" to "Groups" and split theory
  3742 "Ring_and_Field" into theories "Rings" and "Fields"; for more
  3743 appropriate and more consistent names suitable for name prefixes
  3744 within the HOL theories.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3745 
  3746 * Some generic constants have been put to appropriate theories:
  3747   - less_eq, less: Orderings
  3748   - zero, one, plus, minus, uminus, times, abs, sgn: Groups
  3749   - inverse, divide: Rings
  3750 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3751 
  3752 * More consistent naming of type classes involving orderings (and
  3753 lattices):
  3754 
  3755     lower_semilattice                   ~> semilattice_inf

  3792 
  3793   The following slightly odd type classes have been moved to a
  3794   separate theory Library/Lattice_Algebras:
  3795 
  3796     lordered_ab_group_add               ~> lattice_ab_group_add
  3797     lordered_ab_group_add_abs           ~> lattice_ab_group_add_abs
  3798     lordered_ab_group_add_meet          ~> semilattice_inf_ab_group_add
  3799     lordered_ab_group_add_join          ~> semilattice_sup_ab_group_add
  3800     lordered_ring                       ~> lattice_ring
  3801 
  3802 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3803 
  3804 * Refined field classes:
  3805   - classes division_ring_inverse_zero, field_inverse_zero,
  3806     linordered_field_inverse_zero include rule inverse 0 = 0 --
  3807     subsumes former division_by_zero class;
  3808   - numerous lemmas have been ported from field to division_ring.
  3809 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3810 
  3811 * Refined algebra theorem collections:
  3812   - dropped theorem group group_simps, use algebra_simps instead;
  3813   - dropped theorem group ring_simps, use field_simps instead;
  3814   - proper theorem collection field_simps subsumes former theorem
  3815     groups field_eq_simps and field_simps;
  3816   - dropped lemma eq_minus_self_iff which is a duplicate for
  3817     equal_neg_zero.
  3818 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3819 
  3820 * Theory Finite_Set and List: some lemmas have been generalized from
  3821 sets to lattices:
  3822 
  3823   fun_left_comm_idem_inter      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_inf
  3824   fun_left_comm_idem_union      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_sup
  3825   inter_Inter_fold_inter        ~> inf_Inf_fold_inf
  3826   union_Union_fold_union        ~> sup_Sup_fold_sup
  3827   Inter_fold_inter              ~> Inf_fold_inf
  3828   Union_fold_union              ~> Sup_fold_sup
  3829   inter_INTER_fold_inter        ~> inf_INFI_fold_inf
  3830   union_UNION_fold_union        ~> sup_SUPR_fold_sup
  3831   INTER_fold_inter              ~> INFI_fold_inf
  3832   UNION_fold_union              ~> SUPR_fold_sup
  3833 
  3834 * Theory "Complete_Lattice": lemmas top_def and bot_def have been
  3835 replaced by the more convenient lemmas Inf_empty and Sup_empty.
  3836 Dropped lemmas Inf_insert_simp and Sup_insert_simp, which are subsumed
  3837 by Inf_insert and Sup_insert.  Lemmas Inf_UNIV and Sup_UNIV replace
  3838 former Inf_Univ and Sup_Univ.  Lemmas inf_top_right and sup_bot_right
  3839 subsume inf_top and sup_bot respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3840 
  3841 * Reorganized theory Multiset: swapped notation of pointwise and
  3842 multiset order:
  3843 
  3844   - pointwise ordering is instance of class order with standard syntax
  3845     <= and <;
  3846   - multiset ordering has syntax <=# and <#; partial order properties
  3847     are provided by means of interpretation with prefix
  3848     multiset_order;
  3849   - less duplication, less historical organization of sections,
  3850     conversion from associations lists to multisets, rudimentary code
  3851     generation;
  3852   - use insert_DiffM2 [symmetric] instead of elem_imp_eq_diff_union,
  3853     if needed.
  3854 
  3855 Renamed:
  3856 
  3857   multiset_eq_conv_count_eq  ~>  multiset_ext_iff
  3858   multi_count_ext  ~>  multiset_ext
  3859   diff_union_inverse2  ~>  diff_union_cancelR
  3860 
  3861 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3862 
  3863 * Theory Permutation: replaced local "remove" by List.remove1.
  3864 
  3865 * Code generation: ML and OCaml code is decorated with signatures.
  3866 
  3867 * Theory List: added transpose.
  3868 
  3869 * Library/Nat_Bijection.thy is a collection of bijective functions
  3870 between nat and other types, which supersedes the older libraries
  3871 Library/Nat_Int_Bij.thy and HOLCF/NatIso.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3901   Nat_Int_Bij.bij_int_to_nat_bij  ~> bij_int_decode
  3902 
  3903 * Sledgehammer:
  3904   - Renamed ATP commands:
  3905     atp_info     ~> sledgehammer running_atps
  3906     atp_kill     ~> sledgehammer kill_atps
  3907     atp_messages ~> sledgehammer messages
  3908     atp_minimize ~> sledgehammer minimize
  3909     print_atps   ~> sledgehammer available_atps
  3910     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3911   - Added user's manual ("isabelle doc sledgehammer").
  3912   - Added option syntax and "sledgehammer_params" to customize
  3913     Sledgehammer's behavior.  See the manual for details.
  3914   - Modified the Isar proof reconstruction code so that it produces
  3915     direct proofs rather than proofs by contradiction.  (This feature
  3916     is still experimental.)
  3917   - Made Isar proof reconstruction work for SPASS, remote ATPs, and in
  3918     full-typed mode.
  3919   - Added support for TPTP syntax for SPASS via the "spass_tptp" ATP.
  3920 
  3921 * Nitpick:
  3922   - Added and implemented "binary_ints" and "bits" options.
  3923   - Added "std" option and implemented support for nonstandard models.
  3924   - Added and implemented "finitize" option to improve the precision
  3925     of infinite datatypes based on a monotonicity analysis.
  3926   - Added support for quotient types.
  3927   - Added support for "specification" and "ax_specification"
  3928     constructs.
  3929   - Added support for local definitions (for "function" and
  3930     "termination" proofs).
  3931   - Added support for term postprocessors.
  3932   - Optimized "Multiset.multiset" and "FinFun.finfun".
  3933   - Improved efficiency of "destroy_constrs" optimization.
  3934   - Fixed soundness bugs related to "destroy_constrs" optimization and
  3935     record getters.
  3936   - Fixed soundness bug related to higher-order constructors.
  3937   - Fixed soundness bug when "full_descrs" is enabled.
  3938   - Improved precision of set constructs.
  3939   - Added "atoms" option.
  3940   - Added cache to speed up repeated Kodkod invocations on the same
  3941     problems.
  3942   - Renamed "MiniSatJNI", "zChaffJNI", "BerkMinAlloy", and
  3943     "SAT4JLight" to "MiniSat_JNI", "zChaff_JNI", "BerkMin_Alloy", and
  3944     "SAT4J_Light".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3945   - Removed "skolemize", "uncurry", "sym_break", "flatten_prop",
  3946     "sharing_depth", and "show_skolems" options.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3947   - Removed "nitpick_intro" attribute.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3948 
  3949 * Method "induct" now takes instantiations of the form t, where t is not
  3950   a variable, as a shorthand for "x == t", where x is a fresh variable.
  3951   If this is not intended, t has to be enclosed in parentheses.
  3952   By default, the equalities generated by definitional instantiations
  3953   are pre-simplified, which may cause parameters of inductive cases
  3954   to disappear, or may even delete some of the inductive cases.
  3955   Use "induct (no_simp)" instead of "induct" to restore the old
  3956   behaviour. The (no_simp) option is also understood by the "cases"
  3957   and "nominal_induct" methods, which now perform pre-simplification, too.
  3958   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3959 
  3960 
  3961 *** HOLCF ***
  3962 
  3963 * Variable names in lemmas generated by the domain package have
  3964 changed; the naming scheme is now consistent with the HOL datatype
  3965 package.  Some proof scripts may be affected, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3966 
  3967 * The domain package no longer defines the function "foo_copy" for
  3968 recursive domain "foo".  The reach lemma is now stated directly in
  3969 terms of "foo_take".  Lemmas and proofs that mention "foo_copy" must
  3970 be reformulated in terms of "foo_take", INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3971 
  3972 * Most definedness lemmas generated by the domain package (previously
  3973 of the form "x ~= UU ==> foo$x ~= UU") now have an if-and-only-if form
  3974 like "foo$x = UU <-> x = UU", which works better as a simp rule.
  3975 Proofs that used definedness lemmas as intro rules may break,
  3976 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3977 
  3978 * Induction and casedist rules generated by the domain package now
  3979 declare proper case_names (one called "bottom", and one named for each
  3980 constructor).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3981 
  3982 * For mutually-recursive domains, separate "reach" and "take_lemma"
  3983 rules are generated for each domain, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3984 
  3985   foo_bar.reach       ~> foo.reach  bar.reach
  3986   foo_bar.take_lemmas ~> foo.take_lemma  bar.take_lemma
  3987 
  3988 * Some lemmas generated by the domain package have been renamed for
  3989 consistency with the datatype package, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3990 
  3991   foo.ind        ~> foo.induct
  3992   foo.finite_ind ~> foo.finite_induct
  3993   foo.coind      ~> foo.coinduct
  3994   foo.casedist   ~> foo.exhaust
  3995   foo.exhaust    ~> foo.nchotomy
  3996 
  3997 * For consistency with other definition packages, the fixrec package
  3998 now generates qualified theorem names, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3999 
  4000   foo_simps  ~> foo.simps
  4001   foo_unfold ~> foo.unfold
  4002   foo_induct ~> foo.induct
  4003 
  4004 * The "fixrec_simp" attribute has been removed.  The "fixrec_simp"
  4005 method and internal fixrec proofs now use the default simpset instead.
  4006 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4007 
  4008 * The "contlub" predicate has been removed.  Proof scripts should use
  4009 lemma contI2 in place of monocontlub2cont, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4010 
  4011 * The "admw" predicate has been removed, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4012 
  4013 * The constants cpair, cfst, and csnd have been removed in favor of
  4014 Pair, fst, and snd from Isabelle/HOL, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4015 
  4016 
  4017 *** ML ***
  4018 
  4019 * Antiquotations for basic formal entities:
  4020 
  4021     @{class NAME}         -- type class
  4022     @{class_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of the above
  4023 
  4024     @{type_name NAME}     -- logical type
  4025     @{type_abbrev NAME}   -- type abbreviation
  4026     @{nonterminal NAME}   -- type of concrete syntactic category
  4027     @{type_syntax NAME}   -- syntax representation of any of the above
  4028 
  4029     @{const_name NAME}    -- logical constant (INCOMPATIBILITY)
  4030     @{const_abbrev NAME}  -- abbreviated constant
  4031     @{const_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of any of the above
  4032 
  4033 * Antiquotation @{syntax_const NAME} ensures that NAME refers to a raw
  4034 syntax constant (cf. 'syntax' command).
  4035 
  4036 * Antiquotation @{make_string} inlines a function to print arbitrary
  4037 values similar to the ML toplevel.  The result is compiler dependent
  4038 and may fall back on "?" in certain situations.
  4039 
  4040 * Diagnostic commands 'ML_val' and 'ML_command' may refer to
  4041 antiquotations @{Isar.state} and @{Isar.goal}.  This replaces impure
  4042 Isar.state() and Isar.goal(), which belong to the old TTY loop and do
  4043 not work with the asynchronous Isar document model.
  4044 
  4045 * Configuration options now admit dynamic default values, depending on
  4046 the context or even global references.
  4047 
  4048 * SHA1.digest digests strings according to SHA-1 (see RFC 3174).  It
  4049 uses an efficient external library if available (for Poly/ML).
  4050 
  4051 * Renamed some important ML structures, while keeping the old names
  4052 for some time as aliases within the structure Legacy:
  4053 
  4054   OuterKeyword  ~>  Keyword
  4055   OuterLex      ~>  Token
  4056   OuterParse    ~>  Parse
  4057   OuterSyntax   ~>  Outer_Syntax
  4058   PrintMode     ~>  Print_Mode
  4059   SpecParse     ~>  Parse_Spec
  4060   ThyInfo       ~>  Thy_Info
  4061   ThyLoad       ~>  Thy_Load
  4062   ThyOutput     ~>  Thy_Output
  4063   TypeInfer     ~>  Type_Infer
  4064 
  4065 Note that "open Legacy" simplifies porting of sources, but forgetting
  4066 to remove it again will complicate porting again in the future.
  4067 
  4068 * Most operations that refer to a global context are named
  4069 accordingly, e.g. Simplifier.global_context or
  4070 ProofContext.init_global.  There are some situations where a global
  4071 context actually works, but under normal circumstances one needs to
  4072 pass the proper local context through the code!
  4073 
  4074 * Discontinued old TheoryDataFun with its copy/init operation -- data
  4075 needs to be pure.  Functor Theory_Data_PP retains the traditional
  4076 Pretty.pp argument to merge, which is absent in the standard
  4077 Theory_Data version.
  4078 
  4079 * Sorts.certify_sort and derived "cert" operations for types and terms
  4080 no longer minimize sorts.  Thus certification at the boundary of the
  4081 inference kernel becomes invariant under addition of class relations,
  4082 which is an important monotonicity principle.  Sorts are now minimized
  4083 in the syntax layer only, at the boundary between the end-user and the
  4084 system.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY, may have to use Sign.minimize_sort
  4085 explicitly in rare situations.
  4086 
  4087 * Renamed old-style Drule.standard to Drule.export_without_context, to
  4088 emphasize that this is in no way a standard operation.
  4089 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4090 
  4091 * Subgoal.FOCUS (and variants): resulting goal state is normalized as
  4092 usual for resolution.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4093 
  4094 * Renamed varify/unvarify operations to varify_global/unvarify_global
  4095 to emphasize that these only work in a global situation (which is
  4096 quite rare).
  4097 
  4098 * Curried take and drop in library.ML; negative length is interpreted
  4099 as infinity (as in chop).  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4100 
  4101 * Proof terms: type substitutions on proof constants now use canonical
  4102 order of type variables.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools working with proof
  4103 terms.
  4104 
  4105 * Raw axioms/defs may no longer carry sort constraints, and raw defs
  4106 may no longer carry premises.  User-level specifications are
  4107 transformed accordingly by Thm.add_axiom/add_def.
  4108 
  4109 
  4110 *** System ***
  4111 
  4112 * Discontinued special HOL_USEDIR_OPTIONS for the main HOL image;
  4113 ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS applies uniformly to all sessions.  Note that
  4114 proof terms are enabled unconditionally in the new HOL-Proofs image.
  4115 
  4116 * Discontinued old ISABELLE and ISATOOL environment settings (legacy
  4117 feature since Isabelle2009).  Use ISABELLE_PROCESS and ISABELLE_TOOL,
  4118 respectively.
  4119 
  4120 * Old lib/scripts/polyml-platform is superseded by the
  4121 ISABELLE_PLATFORM setting variable, which defaults to the 32 bit
  4122 variant, even on a 64 bit machine.  The following example setting
  4123 prefers 64 bit if available:
  4124 
  4125   ML_PLATFORM="${ISABELLE_PLATFORM64:-$ISABELLE_PLATFORM}"
  4126 
  4127 * The preliminary Isabelle/jEdit application demonstrates the emerging
  4128 Isabelle/Scala layer for advanced prover interaction and integration.
  4129 See src/Tools/jEdit or "isabelle jedit" provided by the properly built
  4130 component.
  4131 
  4132 * "IsabelleText" is a Unicode font derived from Bitstream Vera Mono
  4133 and Bluesky TeX fonts.  It provides the usual Isabelle symbols,
  4134 similar to the default assignment of the document preparation system
  4135 (cf. isabellesym.sty).  The Isabelle/Scala class Isabelle_System
  4136 provides some operations for direct access to the font without asking
  4137 the user for manual installation.
  4138

  4142 -------------------------------------
  4143 
  4144 *** General ***
  4145 
  4146 * Discontinued old form of "escaped symbols" such as \\<forall>.  Only
  4147 one backslash should be used, even in ML sources.
  4148 
  4149 
  4150 *** Pure ***
  4151 
  4152 * Locale interpretation propagates mixins along the locale hierarchy.
  4153 The currently only available mixins are the equations used to map
  4154 local definitions to terms of the target domain of an interpretation.
  4155 
  4156 * Reactivated diagnostic command 'print_interps'.  Use "print_interps
  4157 loc" to print all interpretations of locale "loc" in the theory.
  4158 Interpretations in proofs are not shown.
  4159 
  4160 * Thoroughly revised locales tutorial.  New section on conditional
  4161 interpretation.
  4162 
  4163 * On instantiation of classes, remaining undefined class parameters
  4164 are formally declared.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4165 
  4166 
  4167 *** Document preparation ***
  4168 
  4169 * New generalized style concept for printing terms: @{foo (style) ...}
  4170 instead of @{foo_style style ...}  (old form is still retained for
  4171 backward compatibility).  Styles can be also applied for
  4172 antiquotations prop, term_type and typeof.
  4173 
  4174 
  4175 *** HOL ***
  4176 
  4177 * New proof method "smt" for a combination of first-order logic with
  4178 equality, linear and nonlinear (natural/integer/real) arithmetic, and
  4179 fixed-size bitvectors; there is also basic support for higher-order
  4180 features (esp. lambda abstractions).  It is an incomplete decision
  4181 procedure based on external SMT solvers using the oracle mechanism;
  4182 for the SMT solver Z3, this method is proof-producing.  Certificates
  4183 are provided to avoid calling the external solvers solely for
  4184 re-checking proofs.  Due to a remote SMT service there is no need for
  4185 installing SMT solvers locally.  See src/HOL/SMT.
  4186 
  4187 * New commands to load and prove verification conditions generated by
  4188 the Boogie program verifier or derived systems (e.g. the Verifying C
  4189 Compiler (VCC) or Spec#).  See src/HOL/Boogie.
  4190 
  4191 * New counterexample generator tool 'nitpick' based on the Kodkod
  4192 relational model finder.  See src/HOL/Tools/Nitpick and
  4193 src/HOL/Nitpick_Examples.
  4194 
  4195 * New commands 'code_pred' and 'values' to invoke the predicate
  4196 compiler and to enumerate values of inductive predicates.
  4197 
  4198 * A tabled implementation of the reflexive transitive closure.
  4199 
  4200 * New implementation of quickcheck uses generic code generator;
  4201 default generators are provided for all suitable HOL types, records
  4202 and datatypes.  Old quickcheck can be re-activated importing theory
  4203 Library/SML_Quickcheck.
  4204 
  4205 * New testing tool Mirabelle for automated proof tools.  Applies
  4206 several tools and tactics like sledgehammer, metis, or quickcheck, to
  4207 every proof step in a theory.  To be used in batch mode via the
  4208 "mirabelle" utility.
  4209 
  4210 * New proof method "sos" (sum of squares) for nonlinear real
  4211 arithmetic (originally due to John Harison). It requires theory
  4212 Library/Sum_Of_Squares.  It is not a complete decision procedure but
  4213 works well in practice on quantifier-free real arithmetic with +, -,
  4214 *, ^, =, <= and <, i.e. boolean combinations of equalities and
  4215 inequalities between polynomials.  It makes use of external
  4216 semidefinite programming solvers.  Method "sos" generates a
  4217 certificate that can be pasted into the proof thus avoiding the need
  4218 to call an external tool every time the proof is checked.  See
  4219 src/HOL/Library/Sum_Of_Squares.
  4220 
  4221 * New method "linarith" invokes existing linear arithmetic decision
  4222 procedure only.
  4223 
  4224 * New command 'atp_minimal' reduces result produced by Sledgehammer.
  4225 
  4226 * New Sledgehammer option "Full Types" in Proof General settings menu.
  4227 Causes full type information to be output to the ATPs.  This slows
  4228 ATPs down considerably but eliminates a source of unsound "proofs"
  4229 that fail later.
  4230 
  4231 * New method "metisFT": A version of metis that uses full type
  4232 information in order to avoid failures of proof reconstruction.
  4233 
  4234 * New evaluator "approximate" approximates an real valued term using
  4235 the same method as the approximation method.
  4236 
  4237 * Method "approximate" now supports arithmetic expressions as
  4238 boundaries of intervals and implements interval splitting and Taylor
  4239 series expansion.
  4240 
  4241 * ML antiquotation @{code_datatype} inserts definition of a datatype
  4242 generated by the code generator; e.g. see src/HOL/Predicate.thy.
  4243 
  4244 * New theory SupInf of the supremum and infimum operators for sets of
  4245 reals.
  4246 
  4247 * New theory Probability, which contains a development of measure
  4248 theory, eventually leading to Lebesgue integration and probability.
  4249 
  4250 * Extended Multivariate Analysis to include derivation and Brouwer's
  4251 fixpoint theorem.
  4252 
  4253 * Reorganization of number theory, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4254   - new number theory development for nat and int, in theories Divides
  4255     and GCD as well as in new session Number_Theory
  4256   - some constants and facts now suffixed with _nat and _int
  4257     accordingly
  4258   - former session NumberTheory now named Old_Number_Theory, including
  4259     theories Legacy_GCD and Primes (prefer Number_Theory if possible)
  4260   - moved theory Pocklington from src/HOL/Library to
  4261     src/HOL/Old_Number_Theory
  4262 
  4263 * Theory GCD includes functions Gcd/GCD and Lcm/LCM for the gcd and
  4264 lcm of finite and infinite sets. It is shown that they form a complete
  4265 lattice.
  4266 
  4267 * Class semiring_div requires superclass no_zero_divisors and proof of
  4268 div_mult_mult1; theorems div_mult_mult1, div_mult_mult2,
  4269 div_mult_mult1_if, div_mult_mult1 and div_mult_mult2 have been
  4270 generalized to class semiring_div, subsuming former theorems
  4271 zdiv_zmult_zmult1, zdiv_zmult_zmult1_if, zdiv_zmult_zmult1 and
  4272 zdiv_zmult_zmult2.  div_mult_mult1 is now [simp] by default.
  4273 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4274 
  4275 * Refinements to lattice classes and sets:
  4276   - less default intro/elim rules in locale variant, more default
  4277     intro/elim rules in class variant: more uniformity
  4278   - lemma ge_sup_conv renamed to le_sup_iff, in accordance with
  4279     le_inf_iff
  4280   - dropped lemma alias inf_ACI for inf_aci (same for sup_ACI and
  4281     sup_aci)
  4282   - renamed ACI to inf_sup_aci
  4283   - new class "boolean_algebra"
  4284   - class "complete_lattice" moved to separate theory
  4285     "Complete_Lattice"; corresponding constants (and abbreviations)
  4286     renamed and with authentic syntax:
  4287     Set.Inf ~>    Complete_Lattice.Inf
  4288     Set.Sup ~>    Complete_Lattice.Sup
  4289     Set.INFI ~>   Complete_Lattice.INFI
  4290     Set.SUPR ~>   Complete_Lattice.SUPR
  4291     Set.Inter ~>  Complete_Lattice.Inter
  4292     Set.Union ~>  Complete_Lattice.Union
  4293     Set.INTER ~>  Complete_Lattice.INTER
  4294     Set.UNION ~>  Complete_Lattice.UNION
  4295   - authentic syntax for
  4296     Set.Pow
  4297     Set.image
  4298   - mere abbreviations:
  4299     Set.empty               (for bot)
  4300     Set.UNIV                (for top)
  4301     Set.inter               (for inf, formerly Set.Int)
  4302     Set.union               (for sup, formerly Set.Un)
  4303     Complete_Lattice.Inter  (for Inf)
  4304     Complete_Lattice.Union  (for Sup)
  4305     Complete_Lattice.INTER  (for INFI)
  4306     Complete_Lattice.UNION  (for SUPR)
  4307   - object-logic definitions as far as appropriate
  4308 
  4309 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Care is required when theorems Int_subset_iff or
  4310 Un_subset_iff are explicitly deleted as default simp rules; then also
  4311 their lattice counterparts le_inf_iff and le_sup_iff have to be
  4312 deleted to achieve the desired effect.
  4313 
  4314 * Rules inf_absorb1, inf_absorb2, sup_absorb1, sup_absorb2 are no simp
  4315 rules by default any longer; the same applies to min_max.inf_absorb1
  4316 etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4317 
  4318 * Rules sup_Int_eq and sup_Un_eq are no longer declared as
  4319 pred_set_conv by default.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4320 
  4321 * Power operations on relations and functions are now one dedicated
  4322 constant "compow" with infix syntax "^^".  Power operation on
  4323 multiplicative monoids retains syntax "^" and is now defined generic
  4324 in class power.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4325 
  4326 * Relation composition "R O S" now has a more standard argument order:
  4327 "R O S = {(x, z). EX y. (x, y) : R & (y, z) : S}".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4328 rewrite propositions with "S O R" --> "R O S". Proofs may occasionally
  4329 break, since the O_assoc rule was not rewritten like this.  Fix using
  4330 O_assoc[symmetric].  The same applies to the curried version "R OO S".
  4331 
  4332 * Function "Inv" is renamed to "inv_into" and function "inv" is now an
  4333 abbreviation for "inv_into UNIV".  Lemmas are renamed accordingly.
  4334 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4335 
  4336 * Most rules produced by inductive and datatype package have mandatory
  4337 prefixes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4338 
  4339 * Changed "DERIV_intros" to a dynamic fact, which can be augmented by
  4340 the attribute of the same name.  Each of the theorems in the list
  4341 DERIV_intros assumes composition with an additional function and
  4342 matches a variable to the derivative, which has to be solved by the
  4343 Simplifier.  Hence (auto intro!: DERIV_intros) computes the derivative
  4344 of most elementary terms.  Former Maclauren.DERIV_tac and
  4345 Maclauren.deriv_tac should be replaced by (auto intro!: DERIV_intros).
  4346 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4347 
  4348 * Code generator attributes follow the usual underscore convention:
  4349     code_unfold     replaces    code unfold
  4350     code_post       replaces    code post
  4351     etc.
  4352   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4353 
  4354 * Renamed methods:
  4355     sizechange -> size_change
  4356     induct_scheme -> induction_schema
  4357   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4358 
  4359 * Discontinued abbreviation "arbitrary" of constant "undefined".
  4360 INCOMPATIBILITY, use "undefined" directly.
  4361 
  4362 * Renamed theorems:
  4363     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  4364     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1_left -> Suc_eq_plus1_left
  4365     Suc_plus1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  4366     *anti_sym -> *antisym*
  4367     vector_less_eq_def -> vector_le_def
  4368   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4369 
  4370 * Added theorem List.map_map as [simp].  Removed List.map_compose.
  4371 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4372 
  4373 * Removed predicate "M hassize n" (<--> card M = n & finite M).
  4374 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4375 
  4376 
  4377 *** HOLCF ***
  4378 
  4379 * Theory Representable defines a class "rep" of domains that are
  4380 representable (via an ep-pair) in the universal domain type "udom".
  4381 Instances are provided for all type constructors defined in HOLCF.
  4382 
  4383 * The 'new_domain' command is a purely definitional version of the
  4384 domain package, for representable domains.  Syntax is identical to the
  4385 old domain package.  The 'new_domain' package also supports indirect
  4386 recursion using previously-defined type constructors.  See
  4387 src/HOLCF/ex/New_Domain.thy for examples.
  4388 
  4389 * Method "fixrec_simp" unfolds one step of a fixrec-defined constant
  4390 on the left-hand side of an equation, and then performs
  4391 simplification.  Rewriting is done using rules declared with the
  4392 "fixrec_simp" attribute.  The "fixrec_simp" method is intended as a
  4393 replacement for "fixpat"; see src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples.
  4394 
  4395 * The pattern-match compiler in 'fixrec' can now handle constructors
  4396 with HOL function types.  Pattern-match combinators for the Pair
  4397 constructor are pre-configured.
  4398 
  4399 * The 'fixrec' package now produces better fixed-point induction rules
  4400 for mutually-recursive definitions:  Induction rules have conclusions
  4401 of the form "P foo bar" instead of "P <foo, bar>".
  4402 
  4403 * The constant "sq_le" (with infix syntax "<<" or "\<sqsubseteq>") has
  4404 been renamed to "below".  The name "below" now replaces "less" in many
  4405 theorem names.  (Legacy theorem names using "less" are still supported
  4406 as well.)
  4407 
  4408 * The 'fixrec' package now supports "bottom patterns".  Bottom
  4409 patterns can be used to generate strictness rules, or to make
  4410 functions more strict (much like the bang-patterns supported by the
  4411 Glasgow Haskell Compiler).  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  4412 examples.
  4413 
  4414 
  4415 *** ML ***
  4416 
  4417 * Support for Poly/ML 5.3.0, with improved reporting of compiler
  4418 errors and run-time exceptions, including detailed source positions.
  4419 
  4420 * Structure Name_Space (formerly NameSpace) now manages uniquely
  4421 identified entries, with some additional information such as source
  4422 position, logical grouping etc.
  4423 
  4424 * Theory and context data is now introduced by the simplified and
  4425 modernized functors Theory_Data, Proof_Data, Generic_Data.  Data needs
  4426 to be pure, but the old TheoryDataFun for mutable data (with explicit
  4427 copy operation) is still available for some time.
  4428 
  4429 * Structure Synchronized (cf. src/Pure/Concurrent/synchronized.ML)
  4430 provides a high-level programming interface to synchronized state
  4431 variables with atomic update.  This works via pure function
  4432 application within a critical section -- its runtime should be as
  4433 short as possible; beware of deadlocks if critical code is nested,
  4434 either directly or indirectly via other synchronized variables!
  4435 
  4436 * Structure Unsynchronized (cf. src/Pure/ML-Systems/unsynchronized.ML)
  4437 wraps raw ML references, explicitly indicating their non-thread-safe
  4438 behaviour.  The Isar toplevel keeps this structure open, to
  4439 accommodate Proof General as well as quick and dirty interactive
  4440 experiments with references.
  4441 
  4442 * PARALLEL_CHOICE and PARALLEL_GOALS provide basic support for
  4443 parallel tactical reasoning.
  4444 
  4445 * Tacticals Subgoal.FOCUS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PREMS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PARAMS
  4446 are similar to SUBPROOF, but are slightly more flexible: only the
  4447 specified parts of the subgoal are imported into the context, and the
  4448 body tactic may introduce new subgoals and schematic variables.
  4449 
  4450 * Old tactical METAHYPS, which does not observe the proof context, has
  4451 been renamed to Old_Goals.METAHYPS and awaits deletion.  Use SUBPROOF
  4452 or Subgoal.FOCUS etc.
  4453 
  4454 * Renamed functor TableFun to Table, and GraphFun to Graph.  (Since
  4455 functors have their own ML name space there is no point to mark them
  4456 separately.)  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4457 
  4458 * Renamed NamedThmsFun to Named_Thms.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4459 
  4460 * Renamed several structures FooBar to Foo_Bar.  Occasional,
  4461 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4462 
  4463 * Operations of structure Skip_Proof no longer require quick_and_dirty
  4464 mode, which avoids critical setmp.
  4465 
  4466 * Eliminated old Attrib.add_attributes, Method.add_methods and related
  4467 combinators for "args".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use simplified
  4468 Attrib/Method.setup introduced in Isabelle2009.
  4469 
  4470 * Proper context for simpset_of, claset_of, clasimpset_of.  May fall
  4471 back on global_simpset_of, global_claset_of, global_clasimpset_of as
  4472 last resort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4473 
  4474 * Display.pretty_thm now requires a proper context (cf. former
  4475 ProofContext.pretty_thm).  May fall back on Display.pretty_thm_global
  4476 or even Display.pretty_thm_without_context as last resort.
  4477 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4478 
  4479 * Discontinued Display.pretty_ctyp/cterm etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  4480 Syntax.pretty_typ/term directly, preferably with proper context
  4481 instead of global theory.
  4482 
  4483 
  4484 *** System ***
  4485 
  4486 * Further fine tuning of parallel proof checking, scales up to 8 cores
  4487 (max. speedup factor 5.0).  See also Goal.parallel_proofs in ML and
  4488 usedir option -q.
  4489 
  4490 * Support for additional "Isabelle components" via etc/components, see
  4491 also the system manual.
  4492 
  4493 * The isabelle makeall tool now operates on all components with
  4494 IsaMakefile, not just hardwired "logics".
  4495 
  4496 * Removed "compress" option from isabelle-process and isabelle usedir;
  4497 this is always enabled.
  4498 
  4499 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 4.x versions.
  4500 
  4501 * Isabelle tool "wwwfind" provides web interface for 'find_theorems'
  4502 on a given logic image.  This requires the lighttpd webserver and is
  4503 currently supported on Linux only.
  4504 
  4505 
  4506 
  4507 New in Isabelle2009 (April 2009)
  4508 --------------------------------
  4509 
  4510 *** General ***
  4511 
  4512 * Simplified main Isabelle executables, with less surprises on
  4513 case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  4514 
  4515   - The main Isabelle tool wrapper is now called "isabelle" instead of
  4516     "isatool."
  4517 
  4518   - The former "isabelle" alias for "isabelle-process" has been
  4519     removed (should rarely occur to regular users).
  4520 
  4521   - The former "isabelle-interface" and its alias "Isabelle" have been
  4522     removed (interfaces are now regular Isabelle tools).
  4523 
  4524 Within scripts and make files, the Isabelle environment variables
  4525 ISABELLE_TOOL and ISABELLE_PROCESS replace old ISATOOL and ISABELLE,
  4526 respectively.  (The latter are still available as legacy feature.)
  4527 
  4528 The old isabelle-interface wrapper could react in confusing ways if
  4529 the interface was uninstalled or changed otherwise.  Individual
  4530 interface tool configuration is now more explicit, see also the
  4531 Isabelle system manual.  In particular, Proof General is now available
  4532 via "isabelle emacs".
  4533 
  4534 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt derivative scripts.  Users may need to
  4535 purge installed copies of Isabelle executables and re-run "isabelle
  4536 install -p ...", or use symlinks.
  4537 
  4538 * The default for ISABELLE_HOME_USER is now ~/.isabelle instead of the
  4539 old ~/isabelle, which was slightly non-standard and apt to cause
  4540 surprises on case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  4541 
  4542 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to move existing ~/isabelle/etc,
  4543 ~/isabelle/heaps, ~/isabelle/browser_info to the new place.  Special
  4544 care is required when using older releases of Isabelle.  Note that
  4545 ISABELLE_HOME_USER can be changed in Isabelle/etc/settings of any
  4546 Isabelle distribution, in order to use the new ~/.isabelle uniformly.
  4547 
  4548 * Proofs of fully specified statements are run in parallel on
  4549 multi-core systems.  A speedup factor of 2.5 to 3.2 can be expected on
  4550 a regular 4-core machine, if the initial heap space is made reasonably
  4551 large (cf. Poly/ML option -H).  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  4552 
  4553 * The main reference manuals ("isar-ref", "implementation", and
  4554 "system") have been updated and extended.  Formally checked references
  4555 as hyperlinks are now available uniformly.
  4556 
  4557 
  4558 *** Pure ***
  4559 
  4560 * Complete re-implementation of locales.  INCOMPATIBILITY in several
  4561 respects.  The most important changes are listed below.  See the
  4562 Tutorial on Locales ("locales" manual) for details.
  4563 
  4564 - In locale expressions, instantiation replaces renaming.  Parameters
  4565 must be declared in a for clause.  To aid compatibility with previous
  4566 parameter inheritance, in locale declarations, parameters that are not
  4567 'touched' (instantiation position "_" or omitted) are implicitly added
  4568 with their syntax at the beginning of the for clause.
  4569 
  4570 - Syntax from abbreviations and definitions in locales is available in
  4571 locale expressions and context elements.  The latter is particularly
  4572 useful in locale declarations.
  4573 
  4574 - More flexible mechanisms to qualify names generated by locale
  4575 expressions.  Qualifiers (prefixes) may be specified in locale
  4576 expressions, and can be marked as mandatory (syntax: "name!:") or
  4577 optional (syntax "name?:").  The default depends for plain "name:"
  4578 depends on the situation where a locale expression is used: in
  4579 commands 'locale' and 'sublocale' prefixes are optional, in
  4580 'interpretation' and 'interpret' prefixes are mandatory.  The old
  4581 implicit qualifiers derived from the parameter names of a locale are
  4582 no longer generated.
  4583 
  4584 - Command "sublocale l < e" replaces "interpretation l < e".  The
  4585 instantiation clause in "interpretation" and "interpret" (square
  4586 brackets) is no longer available.  Use locale expressions.
  4587 
  4588 - When converting proof scripts, mandatory qualifiers in
  4589 'interpretation' and 'interpret' should be retained by default, even
  4590 if this is an INCOMPATIBILITY compared to former behavior.  In the
  4591 worst case, use the "name?:" form for non-mandatory ones.  Qualifiers
  4592 in locale expressions range over a single locale instance only.
  4593 
  4594 - Dropped locale element "includes".  This is a major INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4595 In existing theorem specifications replace the includes element by the
  4596 respective context elements of the included locale, omitting those
  4597 that are already present in the theorem specification.  Multiple
  4598 assume elements of a locale should be replaced by a single one
  4599 involving the locale predicate.  In the proof body, declarations (most
  4600 notably theorems) may be regained by interpreting the respective
  4601 locales in the proof context as required (command "interpret").
  4602 
  4603 If using "includes" in replacement of a target solely because the
  4604 parameter types in the theorem are not as general as in the target,
  4605 consider declaring a new locale with additional type constraints on
  4606 the parameters (context element "constrains").
  4607 
  4608 - Discontinued "locale (open)".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4609 
  4610 - Locale interpretation commands no longer attempt to simplify goal.
  4611 INCOMPATIBILITY: in rare situations the generated goal differs.  Use
  4612 methods intro_locales and unfold_locales to clarify.
  4613 
  4614 - Locale interpretation commands no longer accept interpretation
  4615 attributes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4616 
  4617 * Class declaration: so-called "base sort" must not be given in import
  4618 list any longer, but is inferred from the specification.  Particularly
  4619 in HOL, write
  4620 
  4621     class foo = ...
  4622 
  4623 instead of
  4624 
  4625     class foo = type + ...
  4626 
  4627 * Class target: global versions of theorems stemming do not carry a
  4628 parameter prefix any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4629 
  4630 * Class 'instance' command no longer accepts attached definitions.
  4631 INCOMPATIBILITY, use proper 'instantiation' target instead.
  4632 
  4633 * Recovered hiding of consts, which was accidentally broken in
  4634 Isabelle2007.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, ``hide const c'' really
  4635 makes c inaccessible; consider using ``hide (open) const c'' instead.
  4636 
  4637 * Slightly more coherent Pure syntax, with updated documentation in
  4638 isar-ref manual.  Removed locales meta_term_syntax and
  4639 meta_conjunction_syntax: TERM and &&& (formerly &&) are now permanent,
  4640 INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations.  Note that &&& should not be used
  4641 directly in regular applications.
  4642 
  4643 * There is a new syntactic category "float_const" for signed decimal
  4644 fractions (e.g. 123.45 or -123.45).
  4645 
  4646 * Removed exotic 'token_translation' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML
  4647 interface with 'setup' command instead.
  4648 
  4649 * Command 'local_setup' is similar to 'setup', but operates on a local
  4650 theory context.
  4651 
  4652 * The 'axiomatization' command now only works within a global theory
  4653 context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4654 
  4655 * Goal-directed proof now enforces strict proof irrelevance wrt. sort
  4656 hypotheses.  Sorts required in the course of reasoning need to be
  4657 covered by the constraints in the initial statement, completed by the
  4658 type instance information of the background theory.  Non-trivial sort
  4659 hypotheses, which rarely occur in practice, may be specified via
  4660 vacuous propositions of the form SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::c).  For example:
  4661 
  4662   lemma assumes "SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::empty)" shows False ...
  4663 
  4664 The result contains an implicit sort hypotheses as before --
  4665 SORT_CONSTRAINT premises are eliminated as part of the canonical rule
  4666 normalization.
  4667 
  4668 * Generalized Isar history, with support for linear undo, direct state
  4669 addressing etc.
  4670 
  4671 * Changed defaults for unify configuration options:
  4672 
  4673   unify_trace_bound = 50 (formerly 25)
  4674   unify_search_bound = 60 (formerly 30)
  4675 
  4676 * Different bookkeeping for code equations (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  4677 
  4678   a) On theory merge, the last set of code equations for a particular
  4679      constant is taken (in accordance with the policy applied by other
  4680      parts of the code generator framework).
  4681 
  4682   b) Code equations stemming from explicit declarations (e.g. code
  4683      attribute) gain priority over default code equations stemming
  4684      from definition, primrec, fun etc.
  4685 
  4686 * Keyword 'code_exception' now named 'code_abort'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4687 
  4688 * Unified theorem tables for both code generators.  Thus [code
  4689 func] has disappeared and only [code] remains.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4690 
  4691 * Command 'find_consts' searches for constants based on type and name
  4692 patterns, e.g.
  4693 
  4694     find_consts "_ => bool"
  4695 
  4696 By default, matching is against subtypes, but it may be restricted to
  4697 the whole type.  Searching by name is possible.  Multiple queries are
  4698 conjunctive and queries may be negated by prefixing them with a
  4699 hyphen:
  4700 
  4701     find_consts strict: "_ => bool" name: "Int" -"int => int"
  4702 
  4703 * New 'find_theorems' criterion "solves" matches theorems that
  4704 directly solve the current goal (modulo higher-order unification).
  4705 
  4706 * Auto solve feature for main theorem statements: whenever a new goal
  4707 is stated, "find_theorems solves" is called; any theorems that could
  4708 solve the lemma directly are listed as part of the goal state.
  4709 Cf. associated options in Proof General Isabelle settings menu,
  4710 enabled by default, with reasonable timeout for pathological cases of
  4711 higher-order unification.
  4712 
  4713 
  4714 *** Document preparation ***
  4715 
  4716 * Antiquotation @{lemma} now imitates a regular terminal proof,
  4717 demanding keyword 'by' and supporting the full method expression
  4718 syntax just like the Isar command 'by'.
  4719 
  4720 
  4721 *** HOL ***
  4722 
  4723 * Integrated main parts of former image HOL-Complex with HOL.  Entry
  4724 points Main and Complex_Main remain as before.
  4725 
  4726 * Logic image HOL-Plain provides a minimal HOL with the most important
  4727 tools available (inductive, datatype, primrec, ...).  This facilitates
  4728 experimentation and tool development.  Note that user applications
  4729 (and library theories) should never refer to anything below theory
  4730 Main, as before.
  4731 
  4732 * Logic image HOL-Main stops at theory Main, and thus facilitates
  4733 experimentation due to shorter build times.
  4734 
  4735 * Logic image HOL-NSA contains theories of nonstandard analysis which
  4736 were previously part of former HOL-Complex.  Entry point Hyperreal
  4737 remains valid, but theories formerly using Complex_Main should now use
  4738 new entry point Hypercomplex.
  4739 
  4740 * Generic ATP manager for Sledgehammer, based on ML threads instead of
  4741 Posix processes.  Avoids potentially expensive forking of the ML
  4742 process.  New thread-based implementation also works on non-Unix
  4743 platforms (Cygwin).  Provers are no longer hardwired, but defined
  4744 within the theory via plain ML wrapper functions.  Basic Sledgehammer
  4745 commands are covered in the isar-ref manual.
  4746 
  4747 * Wrapper scripts for remote SystemOnTPTP service allows to use
  4748 sledgehammer without local ATP installation (Vampire etc.). Other
  4749 provers may be included via suitable ML wrappers, see also
  4750 src/HOL/ATP_Linkup.thy.
  4751 
  4752 * ATP selection (E/Vampire/Spass) is now via Proof General's settings
  4753 menu.
  4754 
  4755 * The metis method no longer fails because the theorem is too trivial
  4756 (contains the empty clause).
  4757 
  4758 * The metis method now fails in the usual manner, rather than raising
  4759 an exception, if it determines that it cannot prove the theorem.
  4760 
  4761 * Method "coherent" implements a prover for coherent logic (see also
  4762 src/Tools/coherent.ML).
  4763 
  4764 * Constants "undefined" and "default" replace "arbitrary".  Usually
  4765 "undefined" is the right choice to replace "arbitrary", though
  4766 logically there is no difference.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4767 
  4768 * Command "value" now integrates different evaluation mechanisms.  The
  4769 result of the first successful evaluation mechanism is printed.  In
  4770 square brackets a particular named evaluation mechanisms may be
  4771 specified (currently, [SML], [code] or [nbe]).  See further
  4772 src/HOL/ex/Eval_Examples.thy.
  4773 
  4774 * Normalization by evaluation now allows non-leftlinear equations.
  4775 Declare with attribute [code nbe].
  4776 
  4777 * Methods "case_tac" and "induct_tac" now refer to the very same rules
  4778 as the structured Isar versions "cases" and "induct", cf. the
  4779 corresponding "cases" and "induct" attributes.  Mutual induction rules
  4780 are now presented as a list of individual projections
  4781 (e.g. foo_bar.inducts for types foo and bar); the old format with
  4782 explicit HOL conjunction is no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  4783 rare situations a different rule is selected --- notably nested tuple
  4784 elimination instead of former prod.exhaust: use explicit (case_tac t
  4785 rule: prod.exhaust) here.
  4786 
  4787 * Attributes "cases", "induct", "coinduct" support "del" option.
  4788 
  4789 * Removed fact "case_split_thm", which duplicates "case_split".
  4790 
  4791 * The option datatype has been moved to a new theory Option.  Renamed
  4792 option_map to Option.map, and o2s to Option.set, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4793 
  4794 * New predicate "strict_mono" classifies strict functions on partial
  4795 orders.  With strict functions on linear orders, reasoning about
  4796 (in)equalities is facilitated by theorems "strict_mono_eq",
  4797 "strict_mono_less_eq" and "strict_mono_less".
  4798 
  4799 * Some set operations are now proper qualified constants with
  4800 authentic syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4801 
  4802     op Int ~>   Set.Int
  4803     op Un ~>    Set.Un
  4804     INTER ~>    Set.INTER
  4805     UNION ~>    Set.UNION
  4806     Inter ~>    Set.Inter
  4807     Union ~>    Set.Union
  4808     {} ~>       Set.empty
  4809     UNIV ~>     Set.UNIV
  4810 
  4811 * Class complete_lattice with operations Inf, Sup, INFI, SUPR now in
  4812 theory Set.
  4813 
  4814 * Auxiliary class "itself" has disappeared -- classes without any
  4815 parameter are treated as expected by the 'class' command.
  4816 
  4817 * Leibnitz's Series for Pi and the arcus tangens and logarithm series.
  4818 
  4819 * Common decision procedures (Cooper, MIR, Ferrack, Approximation,
  4820 Dense_Linear_Order) are now in directory HOL/Decision_Procs.
  4821 
  4822 * Theory src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation provides the new proof
  4823 method "approximation".  It proves formulas on real values by using
  4824 interval arithmetic.  In the formulas are also the transcendental
  4825 functions sin, cos, tan, atan, ln, exp and the constant pi are
  4826 allowed. For examples see
  4827 src/HOL/Descision_Procs/ex/Approximation_Ex.thy.
  4828 
  4829 * Theory "Reflection" now resides in HOL/Library.
  4830 
  4831 * Entry point to Word library now simply named "Word".
  4832 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4833 
  4834 * Made source layout more coherent with logical distribution
  4835 structure:

  4888 
  4889 * If methods "eval" and "evaluation" encounter a structured proof
  4890 state with !!/==>, only the conclusion is evaluated to True (if
  4891 possible), avoiding strange error messages.
  4892 
  4893 * Method "sizechange" automates termination proofs using (a
  4894 modification of) the size-change principle.  Requires SAT solver.  See
  4895 src/HOL/ex/Termination.thy for examples.
  4896 
  4897 * Simplifier: simproc for let expressions now unfolds if bound
  4898 variable occurs at most once in let expression body.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4899 
  4900 * Method "arith": Linear arithmetic now ignores all inequalities when
  4901 fast_arith_neq_limit is exceeded, instead of giving up entirely.
  4902 
  4903 * New attribute "arith" for facts that should always be used
  4904 automatically by arithmetic. It is intended to be used locally in
  4905 proofs, e.g.
  4906 
  4907   assumes [arith]: "x > 0"
  4908 
  4909 Global usage is discouraged because of possible performance impact.
  4910 
  4911 * New classes "top" and "bot" with corresponding operations "top" and
  4912 "bot" in theory Orderings; instantiation of class "complete_lattice"
  4913 requires instantiation of classes "top" and "bot".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4914 
  4915 * Changed definition lemma "less_fun_def" in order to provide an
  4916 instance for preorders on functions; use lemma "less_le" instead.
  4917 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4918 
  4919 * Theory Orderings: class "wellorder" moved here, with explicit
  4920 induction rule "less_induct" as assumption.  For instantiation of
  4921 "wellorder" by means of predicate "wf", use rule wf_wellorderI.
  4922 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4923 
  4924 * Theory Orderings: added class "preorder" as superclass of "order".
  4925 INCOMPATIBILITY: Instantiation proofs for order, linorder
  4926 etc. slightly changed.  Some theorems named order_class.* now named
  4927 preorder_class.*.
  4928 
  4929 * Theory Relation: renamed "refl" to "refl_on", "reflexive" to "refl,
  4930 "diag" to "Id_on".
  4931 
  4932 * Theory Finite_Set: added a new fold combinator of type
  4933 
  4934   ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  4935 
  4936 Occasionally this is more convenient than the old fold combinator
  4937 which is now defined in terms of the new one and renamed to
  4938 fold_image.
  4939 
  4940 * Theories Ring_and_Field and OrderedGroup: The lemmas "group_simps"
  4941 and "ring_simps" have been replaced by "algebra_simps" (which can be
  4942 extended with further lemmas!).  At the moment both still exist but
  4943 the former will disappear at some point.
  4944 
  4945 * Theory Power: Lemma power_Suc is now declared as a simp rule in
  4946 class recpower.  Type-specific simp rules for various recpower types
  4947 have been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, rename old lemmas as follows:
  4948 
  4949 rat_power_0    -> power_0
  4950 rat_power_Suc  -> power_Suc
  4951 realpow_0      -> power_0
  4952 realpow_Suc    -> power_Suc
  4953 complexpow_0   -> power_0
  4954 complexpow_Suc -> power_Suc
  4955 power_poly_0   -> power_0
  4956 power_poly_Suc -> power_Suc
  4957 
  4958 * Theories Ring_and_Field and Divides: Definition of "op dvd" has been
  4959 moved to separate class dvd in Ring_and_Field; a couple of lemmas on
  4960 dvd has been generalized to class comm_semiring_1.  Likewise a bunch
  4961 of lemmas from Divides has been generalized from nat to class
  4962 semiring_div.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  This involves the following theorem
  4963 renames resulting from duplicate elimination:
  4964 
  4965     dvd_def_mod ~>          dvd_eq_mod_eq_0
  4966     zero_dvd_iff ~>         dvd_0_left_iff
  4967     dvd_0 ~>                dvd_0_right
  4968     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_DIV ~> div_by_0
  4969     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_MOD ~> mod_by_0
  4970     mult_div ~>             div_mult_self2_is_id
  4971     mult_mod ~>             mod_mult_self2_is_0
  4972 
  4973 * Theory IntDiv: removed many lemmas that are instances of class-based
  4974 generalizations (from Divides and Ring_and_Field).  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4975 rename old lemmas as follows:
  4976 
  4977 dvd_diff               -> nat_dvd_diff
  4978 dvd_zminus_iff         -> dvd_minus_iff
  4979 mod_add1_eq            -> mod_add_eq
  4980 mod_mult1_eq           -> mod_mult_right_eq
  4981 mod_mult1_eq'          -> mod_mult_left_eq
  4982 mod_mult_distrib_mod   -> mod_mult_eq
  4983 nat_mod_add_left_eq    -> mod_add_left_eq
  4984 nat_mod_add_right_eq   -> mod_add_right_eq
  4985 nat_mod_div_trivial    -> mod_div_trivial
  4986 nat_mod_mod_trivial    -> mod_mod_trivial
  4987 zdiv_zadd_self1        -> div_add_self1
  4988 zdiv_zadd_self2        -> div_add_self2
  4989 zdiv_zmult_self1       -> div_mult_self2_is_id
  4990 zdiv_zmult_self2       -> div_mult_self1_is_id
  4991 zdvd_triv_left         -> dvd_triv_left
  4992 zdvd_triv_right        -> dvd_triv_right
  4993 zdvd_zmult_cancel_disj -> dvd_mult_cancel_left
  4994 zmod_eq0_zdvd_iff      -> dvd_eq_mod_eq_0[symmetric]
  4995 zmod_zadd_left_eq      -> mod_add_left_eq
  4996 zmod_zadd_right_eq     -> mod_add_right_eq
  4997 zmod_zadd_self1        -> mod_add_self1
  4998 zmod_zadd_self2        -> mod_add_self2
  4999 zmod_zadd1_eq          -> mod_add_eq
  5000 zmod_zdiff1_eq         -> mod_diff_eq

  5022 
  5023 * Theory Rational: 'Fract k 0' now equals '0'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5024 
  5025 * The real numbers offer decimal input syntax: 12.34 is translated
  5026 into 1234/10^2. This translation is not reversed upon output.
  5027 
  5028 * Theory Library/Polynomial defines an abstract type 'a poly of
  5029 univariate polynomials with coefficients of type 'a.  In addition to
  5030 the standard ring operations, it also supports div and mod.  Code
  5031 generation is also supported, using list-style constructors.
  5032 
  5033 * Theory Library/Inner_Product defines a class of real_inner for real
  5034 inner product spaces, with an overloaded operation inner :: 'a => 'a
  5035 => real.  Class real_inner is a subclass of real_normed_vector from
  5036 theory RealVector.
  5037 
  5038 * Theory Library/Product_Vector provides instances for the product
  5039 type 'a * 'b of several classes from RealVector and Inner_Product.
  5040 Definitions of addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, norms,
  5041 and inner products are included.
  5042 
  5043 * Theory Library/Bit defines the field "bit" of integers modulo 2.  In
  5044 addition to the field operations, numerals and case syntax are also
  5045 supported.
  5046 
  5047 * Theory Library/Diagonalize provides constructive version of Cantor's
  5048 first diagonalization argument.
  5049 
  5050 * Theory Library/GCD: Curried operations gcd, lcm (for nat) and zgcd,
  5051 zlcm (for int); carried together from various gcd/lcm developements in
  5052 the HOL Distribution.  Constants zgcd and zlcm replace former igcd and
  5053 ilcm; corresponding theorems renamed accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  5054 may recover tupled syntax as follows:
  5055 
  5056     hide (open) const gcd
  5057     abbreviation gcd where
  5058       "gcd == (%(a, b). GCD.gcd a b)"
  5059     notation (output)
  5060       GCD.gcd ("gcd '(_, _')")
  5061 
  5062 The same works for lcm, zgcd, zlcm.
  5063 
  5064 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity: added addition, numeral syntax and more
  5065 instantiations for algebraic structures.  Removed some duplicate
  5066 theorems.  Changes in simp rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5067 
  5068 * ML antiquotation @{code} takes a constant as argument and generates
  5069 corresponding code in background and inserts name of the corresponding
  5070 resulting ML value/function/datatype constructor binding in place.
  5071 All occurrences of @{code} with a single ML block are generated
  5072 simultaneously.  Provides a generic and safe interface for
  5073 instrumentalizing code generation.  See
  5074 src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Ferrack.thy for a more ambitious application.
  5075 In future you ought to refrain from ad-hoc compiling generated SML
  5076 code on the ML toplevel.  Note that (for technical reasons) @{code}
  5077 cannot refer to constants for which user-defined serializations are
  5078 set.  Refer to the corresponding ML counterpart directly in that
  5079 cases.
  5080 
  5081 * Command 'rep_datatype': instead of theorem names the command now
  5082 takes a list of terms denoting the constructors of the type to be
  5083 represented as datatype.  The characteristic theorems have to be
  5084 proven.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Also observe that the following theorems
  5085 have disappeared in favour of existing ones:
  5086 
  5087     unit_induct                 ~> unit.induct
  5088     prod_induct                 ~> prod.induct
  5089     sum_induct                  ~> sum.induct
  5090     Suc_Suc_eq                  ~> nat.inject
  5091     Suc_not_Zero Zero_not_Suc   ~> nat.distinct
  5092 
  5093 
  5094 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  5095 
  5096 * New locales for orders and lattices where the equivalence relation
  5097 is not restricted to equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY: all order and lattice
  5098 locales use a record structure with field eq for the equivalence.
  5099 
  5100 * New theory of factorial domains.
  5101 
  5102 * Units_l_inv and Units_r_inv are now simp rules by default.
  5103 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Simplifier proof that require deletion of l_inv
  5104 and/or r_inv will now also require deletion of these lemmas.
  5105 
  5106 * Renamed the following theorems, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5107 
  5108 UpperD ~> Upper_memD
  5109 LowerD ~> Lower_memD
  5110 least_carrier ~> least_closed
  5111 greatest_carrier ~> greatest_closed
  5112 greatest_Lower_above ~> greatest_Lower_below
  5113 one_zero ~> carrier_one_zero
  5114 one_not_zero ~> carrier_one_not_zero  (collision with assumption)
  5115 
  5116 
  5117 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  5118 
  5119 * Nominal datatypes can now contain type-variables.
  5120 
  5121 * Commands 'nominal_inductive' and 'equivariance' work with local
  5122 theory targets.
  5123 
  5124 * Nominal primrec can now works with local theory targets and its
  5125 specification syntax now conforms to the general format as seen in
  5126 'inductive' etc.
  5127 
  5128 * Method "perm_simp" honours the standard simplifier attributes
  5129 (no_asm), (no_asm_use) etc.
  5130 
  5131 * The new predicate #* is defined like freshness, except that on the
  5132 left hand side can be a set or list of atoms.
  5133 
  5134 * Experimental command 'nominal_inductive2' derives strong induction
  5135 principles for inductive definitions.  In contrast to
  5136 'nominal_inductive', which can only deal with a fixed number of
  5137 binders, it can deal with arbitrary expressions standing for sets of
  5138 atoms to be avoided.  The only inductive definition we have at the
  5139 moment that needs this generalisation is the typing rule for Lets in
  5140 the algorithm W:
  5141 
  5142  Gamma |- t1 : T1   (x,close Gamma T1)::Gamma |- t2 : T2   x#Gamma
  5143  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  5144          Gamma |- Let x be t1 in t2 : T2
  5145 
  5146 In this rule one wants to avoid all the binders that are introduced by
  5147 "close Gamma T1".  We are looking for other examples where this
  5148 feature might be useful.  Please let us know.
  5149 
  5150 
  5151 *** HOLCF ***
  5152 
  5153 * Reimplemented the simplification procedure for proving continuity
  5154 subgoals.  The new simproc is extensible; users can declare additional
  5155 continuity introduction rules with the attribute [cont2cont].
  5156 
  5157 * The continuity simproc now uses a different introduction rule for
  5158 solving continuity subgoals on terms with lambda abstractions.  In
  5159 some rare cases the new simproc may fail to solve subgoals that the
  5160 old one could solve, and "simp add: cont2cont_LAM" may be necessary.
  5161 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5162 
  5163 * Command 'fixrec': specification syntax now conforms to the general
  5164 format as seen in 'inductive' etc.  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  5165 examples.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5166 
  5167 
  5168 *** ZF ***
  5169 
  5170 * Proof of Zorn's Lemma for partial orders.
  5171 
  5172 
  5173 *** ML ***
  5174 
  5175 * Multithreading for Poly/ML 5.1/5.2 is no longer supported, only for
  5176 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.  Important note: the TimeLimit facility
  5177 depends on multithreading, so timouts will not work before Poly/ML
  5178 5.2.1!
  5179 
  5180 * High-level support for concurrent ML programming, see
  5181 src/Pure/Cuncurrent.  The data-oriented model of "future values" is
  5182 particularly convenient to organize independent functional
  5183 computations.  The concept of "synchronized variables" provides a
  5184 higher-order interface for components with shared state, avoiding the
  5185 delicate details of mutexes and condition variables.  (Requires
  5186 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  5187 
  5188 * ML bindings produced via Isar commands are stored within the Isar
  5189 context (theory or proof).  Consequently, commands like 'use' and 'ML'
  5190 become thread-safe and work with undo as expected (concerning
  5191 top-level bindings, not side-effects on global references).
  5192 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to provide proper Isar context when invoking the
  5193 compiler at runtime; really global bindings need to be given outside a
  5194 theory.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  5195 
  5196 * Command 'ML_prf' is analogous to 'ML' but works within a proof
  5197 context.  Top-level ML bindings are stored within the proof context in
  5198 a purely sequential fashion, disregarding the nested proof structure.
  5199 ML bindings introduced by 'ML_prf' are discarded at the end of the
  5200 proof.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  5201 
  5202 * Simplified ML attribute and method setup, cf. functions Attrib.setup
  5203 and Method.setup, as well as Isar commands 'attribute_setup' and
  5204 'method_setup'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for 'method_setup', need to simplify
  5205 existing code accordingly, or use plain 'setup' together with old
  5206 Method.add_method.
  5207 
  5208 * Simplified ML oracle interface Thm.add_oracle promotes 'a -> cterm
  5209 to 'a -> thm, while results are always tagged with an authentic oracle
  5210 name.  The Isar command 'oracle' is now polymorphic, no argument type
  5211 is specified.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify existing oracle code
  5212 accordingly.  Note that extra performance may be gained by producing
  5213 the cterm carefully, avoiding slow Thm.cterm_of.
  5214 
  5215 * Simplified interface for defining document antiquotations via
  5216 ThyOutput.antiquotation, ThyOutput.output, and optionally
  5217 ThyOutput.maybe_pretty_source.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify user
  5218 antiquotations accordingly, see src/Pure/Thy/thy_output.ML for common
  5219 examples.
  5220 
  5221 * More systematic treatment of long names, abstract name bindings, and
  5222 name space operations.  Basic operations on qualified names have been
  5223 move from structure NameSpace to Long_Name, e.g. Long_Name.base_name,
  5224 Long_Name.append.  Old type bstring has been mostly replaced by
  5225 abstract type binding (see structure Binding), which supports precise
  5226 qualification by packages and local theory targets, as well as proper
  5227 tracking of source positions.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to wrap old
  5228 bstring values into Binding.name, or better pass through abstract
  5229 bindings everywhere.  See further src/Pure/General/long_name.ML,
  5230 src/Pure/General/binding.ML and src/Pure/General/name_space.ML
  5231 
  5232 * Result facts (from PureThy.note_thms, ProofContext.note_thms,
  5233 LocalTheory.note etc.) now refer to the *full* internal name, not the
  5234 bstring as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY, not detected by ML type-checking!
  5235 
  5236 * Disposed old type and term read functions (Sign.read_def_typ,
  5237 Sign.read_typ, Sign.read_def_terms, Sign.read_term,
  5238 Thm.read_def_cterms, Thm.read_cterm etc.).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should
  5239 use regular Syntax.read_typ, Syntax.read_term, Syntax.read_typ_global,
  5240 Syntax.read_term_global etc.; see also OldGoals.read_term as last
  5241 resort for legacy applications.
  5242 
  5243 * Disposed old declarations, tactics, tactic combinators that refer to
  5244 the simpset or claset of an implicit theory (such as Addsimps,
  5245 Simp_tac, SIMPSET).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should use @{simpset} etc. in
  5246 embedded ML text, or local_simpset_of with a proper context passed as
  5247 explicit runtime argument.
  5248 
  5249 * Rules and tactics that read instantiations (read_instantiate,
  5250 res_inst_tac, thin_tac, subgoal_tac etc.) now demand a proper proof
  5251 context, which is required for parsing and type-checking.  Moreover,
  5252 the variables are specified as plain indexnames, not string encodings
  5253 thereof.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5254 
  5255 * Generic Toplevel.add_hook interface allows to analyze the result of
  5256 transactions.  E.g. see src/Pure/ProofGeneral/proof_general_pgip.ML
  5257 for theorem dependency output of transactions resulting in a new
  5258 theory state.
  5259 
  5260 * ML antiquotations: block-structured compilation context indicated by
  5261 \<lbrace> ... \<rbrace>; additional antiquotation forms:
  5262 
  5263   @{binding name}                         - basic name binding
  5264   @{let ?pat = term}                      - term abbreviation (HO matching)
  5265   @{note name = fact}                     - fact abbreviation
  5266   @{thm fact}                             - singleton fact (with attributes)
  5267   @{thms fact}                            - general fact (with attributes)
  5268   @{lemma prop by method}                 - singleton goal
  5269   @{lemma prop by meth1 meth2}            - singleton goal
  5270   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by method}      - general goal
  5271   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by meth1 meth2} - general goal
  5272   @{lemma (open) ...}                     - open derivation
  5273 
  5274 
  5275 *** System ***
  5276 
  5277 * The Isabelle "emacs" tool provides a specific interface to invoke
  5278 Proof General / Emacs, with more explicit failure if that is not
  5279 installed (the old isabelle-interface script silently falls back on
  5280 isabelle-process).  The PROOFGENERAL_HOME setting determines the
  5281 installation location of the Proof General distribution.
  5282 
  5283 * Isabelle/lib/classes/Pure.jar provides basic support to integrate
  5284 the Isabelle process into a JVM/Scala application.  See
  5285 Isabelle/lib/jedit/plugin for a minimal example.  (The obsolete Java
  5286 process wrapper has been discontinued.)
  5287 
  5288 * Added homegrown Isabelle font with unicode layout, see lib/fonts.
  5289 
  5290 * Various status messages (with exact source position information) are
  5291 emitted, if proper markup print mode is enabled.  This allows
  5292 user-interface components to provide detailed feedback on internal
  5293 prover operations.
  5294 
  5295 
  5296 
  5297 New in Isabelle2008 (June 2008)
  5298 -------------------------------
  5299 
  5300 *** General ***
  5301 
  5302 * The Isabelle/Isar Reference Manual (isar-ref) has been reorganized
  5303 and updated, with formally checked references as hyperlinks.
  5304 
  5305 * Theory loader: use_thy (and similar operations) no longer set the
  5306 implicit ML context, which was occasionally hard to predict and in
  5307 conflict with concurrency.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML within Isar which
  5308 provides a proper context already.
  5309 
  5310 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  5311 file are no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, regular 'uses' and
  5312 'use' within a theory file will do the job.
  5313 
  5314 * Name space merge now observes canonical order, i.e. the second space
  5315 is inserted into the first one, while existing entries in the first
  5316 space take precedence.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, may try to
  5317 swap theory imports.
  5318 
  5319 * Syntax: symbol \<chi> is now considered a letter.  Potential
  5320 INCOMPATIBILITY in identifier syntax etc.
  5321 
  5322 * Outer syntax: string tokens no longer admit escaped white space,
  5323 which was an accidental (undocumented) feature.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5324 white space without escapes.
  5325 
  5326 * Outer syntax: string tokens may contain arbitrary character codes
  5327 specified via 3 decimal digits (as in SML).  E.g. "foo\095bar" for
  5328 "foo_bar".
  5329 
  5330 
  5331 *** Pure ***
  5332 
  5333 * Context-dependent token translations.  Default setup reverts locally
  5334 fixed variables, and adds hilite markup for undeclared frees.
  5335 
  5336 * Unused theorems can be found using the new command 'unused_thms'.
  5337 There are three ways of invoking it:
  5338 
  5339 (1) unused_thms
  5340      Only finds unused theorems in the current theory.
  5341 
  5342 (2) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n -
  5343      Finds unused theorems in the current theory and all of its ancestors,
  5344      excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of their ancestors.
  5345 
  5346 (3) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n - thy'_1 ... thy'_m
  5347      Finds unused theorems in the theories thy'_1 ... thy'_m and all of
  5348      their ancestors, excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of
  5349      their ancestors.
  5350 
  5351 In order to increase the readability of the list produced by
  5352 unused_thms, theorems that have been created by a particular instance
  5353 of a theory command such as 'inductive' or 'function' are considered
  5354 to belong to the same "group", meaning that if at least one theorem in
  5355 this group is used, the other theorems in the same group are no longer
  5356 reported as unused.  Moreover, if all theorems in the group are
  5357 unused, only one theorem in the group is displayed.
  5358 
  5359 Note that proof objects have to be switched on in order for
  5360 unused_thms to work properly (i.e. !proofs must be >= 1, which is
  5361 usually the case when using Proof General with the default settings).
  5362 
  5363 * Authentic naming of facts disallows ad-hoc overwriting of previous
  5364 theorems within the same name space.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to remove
  5365 duplicate fact bindings, or even accidental fact duplications.  Note
  5366 that tools may maintain dynamically scoped facts systematically, using
  5367 PureThy.add_thms_dynamic.
  5368 
  5369 * Command 'hide' now allows to hide from "fact" name space as well.
  5370 
  5371 * Eliminated destructive theorem database, simpset, claset, and
  5372 clasimpset.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, really need to observe linear
  5373 update of theories within ML code.
  5374 
  5375 * Eliminated theory ProtoPure and CPure, leaving just one Pure theory.
  5376 INCOMPATIBILITY, object-logics depending on former Pure require
  5377 additional setup PureThy.old_appl_syntax_setup; object-logics
  5378 depending on former CPure need to refer to Pure.
  5379 
  5380 * Commands 'use' and 'ML' are now purely functional, operating on
  5381 theory/local_theory.  Removed former 'ML_setup' (on theory), use 'ML'
  5382 instead.  Added 'ML_val' as mere diagnostic replacement for 'ML'.
  5383 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5384 
  5385 * Command 'setup': discontinued implicit version with ML reference.
  5386 
  5387 * Instantiation target allows for simultaneous specification of class
  5388 instance operations together with an instantiation proof.
  5389 Type-checking phase allows to refer to class operations uniformly.
  5390 See src/HOL/Complex/Complex.thy for an Isar example and
  5391 src/HOL/Library/Eval.thy for an ML example.
  5392 
  5393 * Indexing of literal facts: be more serious about including only
  5394 facts from the visible specification/proof context, but not the
  5395 background context (locale etc.).  Affects `prop` notation and method
  5396 "fact".  INCOMPATIBILITY: need to name facts explicitly in rare
  5397 situations.
  5398 
  5399 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": removed obsolete/undocumented
  5400 "(open)" option, which used to expose internal bound variables to the
  5401 proof text.
  5402 
  5403 * Isar statements: removed obsolete case "rule_context".
  5404 INCOMPATIBILITY, better use explicit fixes/assumes.
  5405 
  5406 * Locale proofs: default proof step now includes 'unfold_locales';
  5407 hence 'proof' without argument may be used to unfold locale
  5408 predicates.
  5409 
  5410 
  5411 *** Document preparation ***
  5412 
  5413 * Simplified pdfsetup.sty: color/hyperref is used unconditionally for
  5414 both pdf and dvi (hyperlinks usually work in xdvi as well); removed
  5415 obsolete thumbpdf setup (contemporary PDF viewers do this on the
  5416 spot); renamed link color from "darkblue" to "linkcolor" (default
  5417 value unchanged, can be redefined via \definecolor); no longer sets
  5418 "a4paper" option (unnecessary or even intrusive).
  5419 
  5420 * Antiquotation @{lemma A method} proves proposition A by the given
  5421 method (either a method name or a method name plus (optional) method
  5422 arguments in parentheses) and prints A just like @{prop A}.
  5423

  5425 *** HOL ***
  5426 
  5427 * New primrec package.  Specification syntax conforms in style to
  5428 definition/function/....  No separate induction rule is provided.  The
  5429 "primrec" command distinguishes old-style and new-style specifications
  5430 by syntax.  The former primrec package is now named OldPrimrecPackage.
  5431 When adjusting theories, beware: constants stemming from new-style
  5432 primrec specifications have authentic syntax.
  5433 
  5434 * Metis prover is now an order of magnitude faster, and also works
  5435 with multithreading.
  5436 
  5437 * Metis: the maximum number of clauses that can be produced from a
  5438 theorem is now given by the attribute max_clauses.  Theorems that
  5439 exceed this number are ignored, with a warning printed.
  5440 
  5441 * Sledgehammer no longer produces structured proofs by default. To
  5442 enable, declare [[sledgehammer_full = true]].  Attributes
  5443 reconstruction_modulus, reconstruction_sorts renamed
  5444 sledgehammer_modulus, sledgehammer_sorts.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5445 
  5446 * Method "induct_scheme" derives user-specified induction rules
  5447 from well-founded induction and completeness of patterns. This factors
  5448 out some operations that are done internally by the function package
  5449 and makes them available separately.  See
  5450 src/HOL/ex/Induction_Scheme.thy for examples.
  5451 
  5452 * More flexible generation of measure functions for termination
  5453 proofs: Measure functions can be declared by proving a rule of the
  5454 form "is_measure f" and giving it the [measure_function] attribute.
  5455 The "is_measure" predicate is logically meaningless (always true), and
  5456 just guides the heuristic.  To find suitable measure functions, the
  5457 termination prover sets up the goal "is_measure ?f" of the appropriate
  5458 type and generates all solutions by prolog-style backwards proof using
  5459 the declared rules.
  5460 
  5461 This setup also deals with rules like 
  5462 
  5463   "is_measure f ==> is_measure (list_size f)"
  5464 
  5465 which accommodates nested datatypes that recurse through lists.
  5466 Similar rules are predeclared for products and option types.
  5467 
  5468 * Turned the type of sets "'a set" into an abbreviation for "'a => bool"
  5469 
  5470   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  5471 
  5472   - Definitions of overloaded constants on sets have to be replaced by
  5473     definitions on => and bool.
  5474 
  5475   - Some definitions of overloaded operators on sets can now be proved
  5476     using the definitions of the operators on => and bool.  Therefore,
  5477     the following theorems have been renamed:
  5478 
  5479       subset_def   -> subset_eq
  5480       psubset_def  -> psubset_eq
  5481       set_diff_def -> set_diff_eq
  5482       Compl_def    -> Compl_eq
  5483       Sup_set_def  -> Sup_set_eq
  5484       Inf_set_def  -> Inf_set_eq
  5485       sup_set_def  -> sup_set_eq
  5486       inf_set_def  -> inf_set_eq
  5487 
  5488   - Due to the incompleteness of the HO unification algorithm, some
  5489     rules such as subst may require manual instantiation, if some of
  5490     the unknowns in the rule is a set.
  5491 
  5492   - Higher order unification and forward proofs:
  5493     The proof pattern
  5494 
  5495       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5496       then have "EX S. P S" ..
  5497 
  5498     no longer works (due to the incompleteness of the HO unification
  5499     algorithm) and must be replaced by the pattern
  5500 
  5501       have "EX S. P S"
  5502       proof
  5503         show "P S" <...>
  5504       qed
  5505 
  5506   - Calculational reasoning with subst (or similar rules):
  5507     The proof pattern
  5508 
  5509       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5510       also have "S = T" <...>
  5511       finally have "P T" .
  5512 
  5513     no longer works (for similar reasons as the previous example) and
  5514     must be replaced by something like
  5515 
  5516       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5517       moreover have "S = T" <...>
  5518       ultimately have "P T" by simp
  5519 
  5520   - Tactics or packages written in ML code:
  5521     Code performing pattern matching on types via
  5522 
  5523       Type ("set", [T]) => ...
  5524 
  5525     must be rewritten. Moreover, functions like strip_type or
  5526     binder_types no longer return the right value when applied to a
  5527     type of the form
  5528 
  5529       T1 => ... => Tn => U => bool
  5530 
  5531     rather than
  5532 
  5533       T1 => ... => Tn => U set
  5534 
  5535 * Merged theories Wellfounded_Recursion, Accessible_Part and
  5536 Wellfounded_Relations to theory Wellfounded.
  5537 
  5538 * Explicit class "eq" for executable equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5539 
  5540 * Class finite no longer treats UNIV as class parameter.  Use class
  5541 enum from theory Library/Enum instead to achieve a similar effect.
  5542 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5543 
  5544 * Theory List: rule list_induct2 now has explicitly named cases "Nil"
  5545 and "Cons".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5546 
  5547 * HOL (and FOL): renamed variables in rules imp_elim and swap.
  5548 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5549 
  5550 * Theory Product_Type: duplicated lemmas split_Pair_apply and
  5551 injective_fst_snd removed, use split_eta and prod_eqI instead.
  5552 Renamed upd_fst to apfst and upd_snd to apsnd.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5553 
  5554 * Theory Nat: removed redundant lemmas that merely duplicate lemmas of
  5555 the same name in theory Orderings:
  5556 
  5557   less_trans
  5558   less_linear
  5559   le_imp_less_or_eq
  5560   le_less_trans
  5561   less_le_trans
  5562   less_not_sym
  5563   less_asym
  5564 
  5565 Renamed less_imp_le to less_imp_le_nat, and less_irrefl to
  5566 less_irrefl_nat.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to more general types
  5567 and different variable names.
  5568 
  5569 * Library/Option_ord.thy: Canonical order on option type.
  5570 
  5571 * Library/RBT.thy: Red-black trees, an efficient implementation of
  5572 finite maps.
  5573 
  5574 * Library/Countable.thy: Type class for countable types.
  5575 
  5576 * Theory Int: The representation of numerals has changed.  The infix
  5577 operator BIT and the bit datatype with constructors B0 and B1 have
  5578 disappeared.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "Int.Bit0 x" and "Int.Bit1 y" in
  5579 place of "x BIT bit.B0" and "y BIT bit.B1", respectively.  Theorems
  5580 involving BIT, B0, or B1 have been renamed with "Bit0" or "Bit1"
  5581 accordingly.
  5582 
  5583 * Theory Nat: definition of <= and < on natural numbers no longer
  5584 depend on well-founded relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Definitions
  5585 le_def and less_def have disappeared.  Consider lemmas not_less
  5586 [symmetric, where ?'a = nat] and less_eq [symmetric] instead.
  5587 
  5588 * Theory Finite_Set: locales ACf, ACe, ACIf, ACIfSL and ACIfSLlin
  5589 (whose purpose mainly is for various fold_set functionals) have been
  5590 abandoned in favor of the existing algebraic classes
  5591 ab_semigroup_mult, comm_monoid_mult, ab_semigroup_idem_mult,
  5592 lower_semilattice (resp. upper_semilattice) and linorder.
  5593 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5594 
  5595 * Theory Transitive_Closure: induct and cases rules now declare proper
  5596 case_names ("base" and "step").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5597 
  5598 * Theorem Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct generalized to complete
  5599 lattices.  The form set-specific version is available as
  5600 Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct_set.
  5601 
  5602 * Renamed theorems "power.simps" to "power_int.simps".
  5603 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5604 
  5605 * Class semiring_div provides basic abstract properties of semirings
  5606 with division and modulo operations.  Subsumes former class dvd_mod.
  5607 
  5608 * Merged theories IntDef, Numeral and IntArith into unified theory
  5609 Int.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5610 
  5611 * Theory Library/Code_Index: type "index" now represents natural
  5612 numbers rather than integers.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5613 
  5614 * New class "uminus" with operation "uminus" (split of from class
  5615 "minus" which now only has operation "minus", binary).
  5616 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5617 
  5618 * Constants "card", "internal_split", "option_map" now with authentic
  5619 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5620 
  5621 * Definitions subset_def, psubset_def, set_diff_def, Compl_def,
  5622 le_bool_def, less_bool_def, le_fun_def, less_fun_def, inf_bool_def,
  5623 sup_bool_def, Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, inf_fun_def, sup_fun_def,
  5624 Inf_fun_def, Sup_fun_def, inf_set_def, sup_set_def, Inf_set_def,
  5625 Sup_set_def, le_def, less_def, option_map_def now with object
  5626 equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5627 
  5628 * Records. Removed K_record, and replaced it by pure lambda term
  5629 %x. c. The simplifier setup is now more robust against eta expansion.
  5630 INCOMPATIBILITY: in cases explicitly referring to K_record.
  5631 
  5632 * Library/Multiset: {#a, b, c#} abbreviates {#a#} + {#b#} + {#c#}.
  5633 
  5634 * Library/ListVector: new theory of arithmetic vector operations.
  5635 
  5636 * Library/Order_Relation: new theory of various orderings as sets of
  5637 pairs.  Defines preorders, partial orders, linear orders and
  5638 well-orders on sets and on types.
  5639 
  5640 
  5641 *** ZF ***
  5642 
  5643 * Renamed some theories to allow to loading both ZF and HOL in the
  5644 same session:
  5645 
  5646   Datatype  -> Datatype_ZF
  5647   Inductive -> Inductive_ZF
  5648   Int       -> Int_ZF
  5649   IntDiv    -> IntDiv_ZF
  5650   Nat       -> Nat_ZF
  5651   List      -> List_ZF
  5652   Main      -> Main_ZF
  5653 
  5654 INCOMPATIBILITY: ZF theories that import individual theories below
  5655 Main might need to be adapted.  Regular theory Main is still
  5656 available, as trivial extension of Main_ZF.
  5657 
  5658 
  5659 *** ML ***
  5660 
  5661 * ML within Isar: antiquotation @{const name} or @{const
  5662 name(typargs)} produces statically-checked Const term.
  5663 
  5664 * Functor NamedThmsFun: data is available to the user as dynamic fact
  5665 (of the same name).  Removed obsolete print command.
  5666 
  5667 * Removed obsolete "use_legacy_bindings" function.
  5668 
  5669 * The ``print mode'' is now a thread-local value derived from a global
  5670 template (the former print_mode reference), thus access becomes
  5671 non-critical.  The global print_mode reference is for session
  5672 management only; user-code should use print_mode_value,
  5673 print_mode_active, PrintMode.setmp etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5674 
  5675 * Functions system/system_out provide a robust way to invoke external
  5676 shell commands, with propagation of interrupts (requires Poly/ML
  5677 5.2.1).  Do not use OS.Process.system etc. from the basis library!
  5678 
  5679 
  5680 *** System ***
  5681 
  5682 * Default settings: PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS no longer impose xemacs ---
  5683 in accordance with Proof General 3.7, which prefers GNU emacs.
  5684 
  5685 * isatool tty runs Isabelle process with plain tty interaction;
  5686 optional line editor may be specified via ISABELLE_LINE_EDITOR
  5687 setting, the default settings attempt to locate "ledit" and "rlwrap".
  5688 
  5689 * isatool browser now works with Cygwin as well, using general
  5690 "javapath" function defined in Isabelle process environment.
  5691 
  5692 * YXML notation provides a simple and efficient alternative to
  5693 standard XML transfer syntax.  See src/Pure/General/yxml.ML and
  5694 isatool yxml as described in the Isabelle system manual.
  5695 
  5696 * JVM class isabelle.IsabelleProcess (located in Isabelle/lib/classes)
  5697 provides general wrapper for managing an Isabelle process in a robust
  5698 fashion, with ``cooked'' output from stdin/stderr.
  5699 
  5700 * Rudimentary Isabelle plugin for jEdit (see Isabelle/lib/jedit),
  5701 based on Isabelle/JVM process wrapper (see Isabelle/lib/classes).
  5702 
  5703 * Removed obsolete THIS_IS_ISABELLE_BUILD feature.  NB: the documented
  5704 way of changing the user's settings is via
  5705 ISABELLE_HOME_USER/etc/settings, which is a fully featured bash
  5706 script.
  5707 
  5708 * Multithreading.max_threads := 0 refers to the number of actual CPU
  5709 cores of the underlying machine, which is a good starting point for
  5710 optimal performance tuning.  The corresponding usedir option -M allows
  5711 "max" as an alias for "0".  WARNING: does not work on certain versions
  5712 of Mac OS (with Poly/ML 5.1).
  5713 
  5714 * isabelle-process: non-ML sessions are run with "nice", to reduce the
  5715 adverse effect of Isabelle flooding interactive front-ends (notably
  5716 ProofGeneral / XEmacs).
  5717 
  5718 
  5719 
  5720 New in Isabelle2007 (November 2007)
  5721 -----------------------------------
  5722 
  5723 *** General ***
  5724 
  5725 * More uniform information about legacy features, notably a
  5726 warning/error of "Legacy feature: ...", depending on the state of the
  5727 tolerate_legacy_features flag (default true). FUTURE INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5728 legacy features will disappear eventually.
  5729 
  5730 * Theory syntax: the header format ``theory A = B + C:'' has been
  5731 discontinued in favour of ``theory A imports B C begin''.  Use isatool
  5732 fixheaders to convert existing theory files.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5733 
  5734 * Theory syntax: the old non-Isar theory file format has been
  5735 discontinued altogether.  Note that ML proof scripts may still be used
  5736 with Isar theories; migration is usually quite simple with the ML
  5737 function use_legacy_bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5738 
  5739 * Theory syntax: some popular names (e.g. 'class', 'declaration',
  5740 'fun', 'help', 'if') are now keywords.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use double
  5741 quotes.
  5742 
  5743 * Theory loader: be more serious about observing the static theory
  5744 header specifications (including optional directories), but not the
  5745 accidental file locations of previously successful loads.  The strict
  5746 update policy of former update_thy is now already performed by
  5747 use_thy, so the former has been removed; use_thys updates several
  5748 theories simultaneously, just as 'imports' within a theory header
  5749 specification, but without merging the results.  Potential
  5750 INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to refine theory headers and commands
  5751 ROOT.ML which depend on load order.
  5752 
  5753 * Theory loader: optional support for content-based file
  5754 identification, instead of the traditional scheme of full physical
  5755 path plus date stamp; configured by the ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT setting
  5756 (cf. the system manual).  The new scheme allows to work with
  5757 non-finished theories in persistent session images, such that source
  5758 files may be moved later on without requiring reloads.
  5759 
  5760 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  5761 file (with the same base name as the theory) are considered a legacy
  5762 feature, which will disappear eventually. Even now, the theory loader
  5763 no longer maintains dependencies on such files.
  5764 
  5765 * Syntax: the scope for resolving ambiguities via type-inference is
  5766 now limited to individual terms, instead of whole simultaneous
  5767 specifications as before. This greatly reduces the complexity of the
  5768 syntax module and improves flexibility by separating parsing and
  5769 type-checking. INCOMPATIBILITY: additional type-constraints (explicit
  5770 'fixes' etc.) are required in rare situations.
  5771 
  5772 * Syntax: constants introduced by new-style packages ('definition',
  5773 'abbreviation' etc.) are passed through the syntax module in
  5774 ``authentic mode''. This means that associated mixfix annotations
  5775 really stick to such constants, independently of potential name space
  5776 ambiguities introduced later on. INCOMPATIBILITY: constants in parse
  5777 trees are represented slightly differently, may need to adapt syntax
  5778 translations accordingly. Use CONST marker in 'translations' and
  5779 @{const_syntax} antiquotation in 'parse_translation' etc.
  5780 
  5781 * Legacy goal package: reduced interface to the bare minimum required
  5782 to keep existing proof scripts running.  Most other user-level
  5783 functions are now part of the OldGoals structure, which is *not* open
  5784 by default (consider isatool expandshort before open OldGoals).
  5785 Removed top_sg, prin, printyp, pprint_term/typ altogether, because
  5786 these tend to cause confusion about the actual goal (!) context being
  5787 used here, which is not necessarily the same as the_context().
  5788 
  5789 * Command 'find_theorems': supports "*" wild-card in "name:"
  5790 criterion; "with_dups" option.  Certain ProofGeneral versions might
  5791 support a specific search form (see ProofGeneral/CHANGES).
  5792 
  5793 * The ``prems limit'' option (cf. ProofContext.prems_limit) is now -1
  5794 by default, which means that "prems" (and also "fixed variables") are
  5795 suppressed from proof state output.  Note that the ProofGeneral
  5796 settings mechanism allows to change and save options persistently, but
  5797 older versions of Isabelle will fail to start up if a negative prems
  5798 limit is imposed.
  5799 
  5800 * Local theory targets may be specified by non-nested blocks of
  5801 ``context/locale/class ... begin'' followed by ``end''.  The body may
  5802 contain definitions, theorems etc., including any derived mechanism
  5803 that has been implemented on top of these primitives.  This concept
  5804 generalizes the existing ``theorem (in ...)'' towards more versatility
  5805 and scalability.
  5806 
  5807 * Proof General interface: proper undo of final 'end' command;
  5808 discontinued Isabelle/classic mode (ML proof scripts).
  5809 
  5810 
  5811 *** Document preparation ***
  5812 
  5813 * Added antiquotation @{theory name} which prints the given name,
  5814 after checking that it refers to a valid ancestor theory in the
  5815 current context.
  5816 
  5817 * Added antiquotations @{ML_type text} and @{ML_struct text} which
  5818 check the given source text as ML type/structure, printing verbatim.
  5819 
  5820 * Added antiquotation @{abbrev "c args"} which prints the abbreviation
  5821 "c args == rhs" given in the current context.  (Any number of
  5822 arguments may be given on the LHS.)
  5823 
  5824 
  5825 *** Pure ***
  5826 
  5827 * The 'class' package offers a combination of axclass and locale to
  5828 achieve Haskell-like type classes in Isabelle.  Definitions and
  5829 theorems within a class context produce both relative results (with
  5830 implicit parameters according to the locale context), and polymorphic
  5831 constants with qualified polymorphism (according to the class
  5832 context).  Within the body context of a 'class' target, a separate
  5833 syntax layer ("user space type system") takes care of converting
  5834 between global polymorphic consts and internal locale representation.
  5835 See src/HOL/ex/Classpackage.thy for examples (as well as main HOL).
  5836 "isatool doc classes" provides a tutorial.
  5837 
  5838 * Generic code generator framework allows to generate executable
  5839 code for ML and Haskell (including Isabelle classes).  A short usage
  5840 sketch:
  5841 
  5842     internal compilation:
  5843         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML
  5844     writing SML code to a file:
  5845         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML <filename>
  5846     writing OCaml code to a file:
  5847         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in OCaml <filename>
  5848     writing Haskell code to a bunch of files:
  5849         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in Haskell <filename>
  5850 
  5851     evaluating closed propositions to True/False using code generation:
  5852         method ``eval''
  5853 
  5854 Reasonable default setup of framework in HOL.
  5855 
  5856 Theorem attributs for selecting and transforming function equations theorems:
  5857 
  5858     [code fun]:        select a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  5859     [code fun del]:    deselect a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  5860     [code inline]:     select an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  5861     [code inline del]: deselect an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  5862 
  5863 User-defined serializations (target in {SML, OCaml, Haskell}):
  5864 
  5865     code_const <and-list of constants (term syntax)>
  5866       {(target) <and-list of const target syntax>}+
  5867 
  5868     code_type <and-list of type constructors>
  5869       {(target) <and-list of type target syntax>}+
  5870 
  5871     code_instance <and-list of instances>
  5872       {(target)}+
  5873         where instance ::= <type constructor> :: <class>
  5874 
  5875     code_class <and_list of classes>
  5876       {(target) <and-list of class target syntax>}+
  5877         where class target syntax ::= <class name> {where {<classop> == <target syntax>}+}?
  5878 
  5879 code_instance and code_class only are effective to target Haskell.
  5880 
  5881 For example usage see src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator.thy and
  5882 src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator_Pretty.thy.  A separate tutorial on code
  5883 generation from Isabelle/HOL theories is available via "isatool doc
  5884 codegen".
  5885 
  5886 * Code generator: consts in 'consts_code' Isar commands are now
  5887 referred to by usual term syntax (including optional type
  5888 annotations).
  5889 
  5890 * Command 'no_translations' removes translation rules from theory
  5891 syntax.
  5892 
  5893 * Overloaded definitions are now actually checked for acyclic
  5894 dependencies.  The overloading scheme is slightly more general than
  5895 that of Haskell98, although Isabelle does not demand an exact
  5896 correspondence to type class and instance declarations.
  5897 INCOMPATIBILITY, use ``defs (unchecked overloaded)'' to admit more
  5898 exotic versions of overloading -- at the discretion of the user!
  5899 
  5900 Polymorphic constants are represented via type arguments, i.e. the
  5901 instantiation that matches an instance against the most general
  5902 declaration given in the signature.  For example, with the declaration
  5903 c :: 'a => 'a => 'a, an instance c :: nat => nat => nat is represented
  5904 as c(nat).  Overloading is essentially simultaneous structural
  5905 recursion over such type arguments.  Incomplete specification patterns
  5906 impose global constraints on all occurrences, e.g. c('a * 'a) on the
  5907 LHS means that more general c('a * 'b) will be disallowed on any RHS.
  5908 Command 'print_theory' outputs the normalized system of recursive
  5909 equations, see section "definitions".
  5910 
  5911 * Configuration options are maintained within the theory or proof
  5912 context (with name and type bool/int/string), providing a very simple
  5913 interface to a poor-man's version of general context data.  Tools may
  5914 declare options in ML (e.g. using Attrib.config_int) and then refer to
  5915 these values using Config.get etc.  Users may change options via an
  5916 associated attribute of the same name.  This form of context
  5917 declaration works particularly well with commands 'declare' or
  5918 'using', for example ``declare [[foo = 42]]''.  Thus it has become
  5919 very easy to avoid global references, which would not observe Isar
  5920 toplevel undo/redo and fail to work with multithreading.
  5921 
  5922 Various global ML references of Pure and HOL have been turned into
  5923 configuration options:
  5924 
  5925   Unify.search_bound		unify_search_bound
  5926   Unify.trace_bound		unify_trace_bound
  5927   Unify.trace_simp		unify_trace_simp
  5928   Unify.trace_types		unify_trace_types
  5929   Simplifier.simp_depth_limit	simp_depth_limit
  5930   Blast.depth_limit		blast_depth_limit
  5931   DatatypeProp.dtK		datatype_distinctness_limit
  5932   fast_arith_neq_limit  	fast_arith_neq_limit
  5933   fast_arith_split_limit	fast_arith_split_limit
  5934 
  5935 * Named collections of theorems may be easily installed as context
  5936 data using the functor NamedThmsFun (see also
  5937 src/Pure/Tools/named_thms.ML).  The user may add or delete facts via
  5938 attributes; there is also a toplevel print command.  This facility is
  5939 just a common case of general context data, which is the preferred way
  5940 for anything more complex than just a list of facts in canonical
  5941 order.
  5942 
  5943 * Isar: command 'declaration' augments a local theory by generic
  5944 declaration functions written in ML.  This enables arbitrary content
  5945 being added to the context, depending on a morphism that tells the
  5946 difference of the original declaration context wrt. the application
  5947 context encountered later on.
  5948 
  5949 * Isar: proper interfaces for simplification procedures.  Command
  5950 'simproc_setup' declares named simprocs (with match patterns, and body
  5951 text in ML).  Attribute "simproc" adds/deletes simprocs in the current
  5952 context.  ML antiquotation @{simproc name} retrieves named simprocs.
  5953 
  5954 * Isar: an extra pair of brackets around attribute declarations
  5955 abbreviates a theorem reference involving an internal dummy fact,
  5956 which will be ignored later --- only the effect of the attribute on
  5957 the background context will persist.  This form of in-place
  5958 declarations is particularly useful with commands like 'declare' and
  5959 'using', for example ``have A using [[simproc a]] by simp''.
  5960 
  5961 * Isar: method "assumption" (and implicit closing of subproofs) now
  5962 takes simple non-atomic goal assumptions into account: after applying
  5963 an assumption as a rule the resulting subgoals are solved by atomic
  5964 assumption steps.  This is particularly useful to finish 'obtain'
  5965 goals, such as "!!x. (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> P x ==> thesis",
  5966 without referring to the original premise "!!x. P x ==> thesis" in the
  5967 Isar proof context.  POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY: method "assumption" is
  5968 more permissive.
  5969 
  5970 * Isar: implicit use of prems from the Isar proof context is
  5971 considered a legacy feature.  Common applications like ``have A .''
  5972 may be replaced by ``have A by fact'' or ``note `A`''.  In general,
  5973 referencing facts explicitly here improves readability and
  5974 maintainability of proof texts.
  5975 
  5976 * Isar: improper proof element 'guess' is like 'obtain', but derives
  5977 the obtained context from the course of reasoning!  For example:
  5978 
  5979   assume "EX x y. A x & B y"   -- "any previous fact"
  5980   then guess x and y by clarify
  5981 
  5982 This technique is potentially adventurous, depending on the facts and
  5983 proof tools being involved here.
  5984 
  5985 * Isar: known facts from the proof context may be specified as literal
  5986 propositions, using ASCII back-quote syntax.  This works wherever
  5987 named facts used to be allowed so far, in proof commands, proof
  5988 methods, attributes etc.  Literal facts are retrieved from the context
  5989 according to unification of type and term parameters.  For example,
  5990 provided that "A" and "A ==> B" and "!!x. P x ==> Q x" are known
  5991 theorems in the current context, then these are valid literal facts:
  5992 `A` and `A ==> B` and `!!x. P x ==> Q x" as well as `P a ==> Q a` etc.
  5993 
  5994 There is also a proof method "fact" which does the same composition
  5995 for explicit goal states, e.g. the following proof texts coincide with
  5996 certain special cases of literal facts:
  5997 
  5998   have "A" by fact                 ==  note `A`
  5999   have "A ==> B" by fact           ==  note `A ==> B`
  6000   have "!!x. P x ==> Q x" by fact  ==  note `!!x. P x ==> Q x`
  6001   have "P a ==> Q a" by fact       ==  note `P a ==> Q a`
  6002 
  6003 * Isar: ":" (colon) is no longer a symbolic identifier character in
  6004 outer syntax.  Thus symbolic identifiers may be used without
  6005 additional white space in declarations like this: ``assume *: A''.
  6006 
  6007 * Isar: 'print_facts' prints all local facts of the current context,
  6008 both named and unnamed ones.
  6009 
  6010 * Isar: 'def' now admits simultaneous definitions, e.g.:
  6011 
  6012   def x == "t" and y == "u"
  6013 
  6014 * Isar: added command 'unfolding', which is structurally similar to
  6015 'using', but affects both the goal state and facts by unfolding given
  6016 rewrite rules.  Thus many occurrences of the 'unfold' method or
  6017 'unfolded' attribute may be replaced by first-class proof text.
  6018 
  6019 * Isar: methods 'unfold' / 'fold', attributes 'unfolded' / 'folded',
  6020 and command 'unfolding' now all support object-level equalities
  6021 (potentially conditional).  The underlying notion of rewrite rule is
  6022 analogous to the 'rule_format' attribute, but *not* that of the
  6023 Simplifier (which is usually more generous).
  6024 
  6025 * Isar: the new attribute [rotated n] (default n = 1) rotates the
  6026 premises of a theorem by n. Useful in conjunction with drule.
  6027 
  6028 * Isar: the goal restriction operator [N] (default N = 1) evaluates a
  6029 method expression within a sandbox consisting of the first N
  6030 sub-goals, which need to exist.  For example, ``simp_all [3]''
  6031 simplifies the first three sub-goals, while (rule foo, simp_all)[]
  6032 simplifies all new goals that emerge from applying rule foo to the
  6033 originally first one.
  6034 
  6035 * Isar: schematic goals are no longer restricted to higher-order
  6036 patterns; e.g. ``lemma "?P(?x)" by (rule TrueI)'' now works as
  6037 expected.
  6038 
  6039 * Isar: the conclusion of a long theorem statement is now either
  6040 'shows' (a simultaneous conjunction, as before), or 'obtains'
  6041 (essentially a disjunction of cases with local parameters and
  6042 assumptions).  The latter allows to express general elimination rules
  6043 adequately; in this notation common elimination rules look like this:
  6044 
  6045   lemma exE:    -- "EX x. P x ==> (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6046     assumes "EX x. P x"
  6047     obtains x where "P x"
  6048 
  6049   lemma conjE:  -- "A & B ==> (A ==> B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6050     assumes "A & B"
  6051     obtains A and B
  6052 
  6053   lemma disjE:  -- "A | B ==> (A ==> thesis) ==> (B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6054     assumes "A | B"
  6055     obtains
  6056       A
  6057     | B
  6058 
  6059 The subsequent classical rules even refer to the formal "thesis"
  6060 explicitly:
  6061 
  6062   lemma classical:     -- "(~ thesis ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6063     obtains "~ thesis"
  6064 
  6065   lemma Peirce's_Law:  -- "((thesis ==> something) ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6066     obtains "thesis ==> something"
  6067 
  6068 The actual proof of an 'obtains' statement is analogous to that of the
  6069 Isar proof element 'obtain', only that there may be several cases.
  6070 Optional case names may be specified in parentheses; these will be
  6071 available both in the present proof and as annotations in the
  6072 resulting rule, for later use with the 'cases' method (cf. attribute
  6073 case_names).
  6074 
  6075 * Isar: the assumptions of a long theorem statement are available as
  6076 "assms" fact in the proof context.  This is more appropriate than the
  6077 (historical) "prems", which refers to all assumptions of the current
  6078 context, including those from the target locale, proof body etc.
  6079 
  6080 * Isar: 'print_statement' prints theorems from the current theory or
  6081 proof context in long statement form, according to the syntax of a
  6082 top-level lemma.
  6083 
  6084 * Isar: 'obtain' takes an optional case name for the local context
  6085 introduction rule (default "that").
  6086 
  6087 * Isar: removed obsolete 'concl is' patterns.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  6088 explicit (is "_ ==> ?foo") in the rare cases where this still happens
  6089 to occur.
  6090 
  6091 * Pure: syntax "CONST name" produces a fully internalized constant
  6092 according to the current context.  This is particularly useful for
  6093 syntax translations that should refer to internal constant
  6094 representations independently of name spaces.
  6095 
  6096 * Pure: syntax constant for foo (binder "FOO ") is called "foo_binder"
  6097 instead of "FOO ". This allows multiple binder declarations to coexist
  6098 in the same context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6099 
  6100 * Isar/locales: 'notation' provides a robust interface to the 'syntax'
  6101 primitive that also works in a locale context (both for constants and
  6102 fixed variables). Type declaration and internal syntactic representation
  6103 of given constants retrieved from the context. Likewise, the
  6104 'no_notation' command allows to remove given syntax annotations from the
  6105 current context.
  6106 
  6107 * Isar/locales: new derived specification elements 'axiomatization',
  6108 'definition', 'abbreviation', which support type-inference, admit
  6109 object-level specifications (equality, equivalence).  See also the
  6110 isar-ref manual.  Examples:
  6111 
  6112   axiomatization
  6113     eq  (infix "===" 50) where
  6114     eq_refl: "x === x" and eq_subst: "x === y ==> P x ==> P y"
  6115 
  6116   definition "f x y = x + y + 1"
  6117   definition g where "g x = f x x"
  6118 
  6119   abbreviation
  6120     neq  (infix "=!=" 50) where
  6121     "x =!= y == ~ (x === y)"
  6122 
  6123 These specifications may be also used in a locale context.  Then the
  6124 constants being introduced depend on certain fixed parameters, and the
  6125 constant name is qualified by the locale base name.  An internal
  6126 abbreviation takes care for convenient input and output, making the
  6127 parameters implicit and using the original short name.  See also
  6128 src/HOL/ex/Abstract_NAT.thy for an example of deriving polymorphic
  6129 entities from a monomorphic theory.
  6130 
  6131 Presently, abbreviations are only available 'in' a target locale, but
  6132 not inherited by general import expressions.  Also note that
  6133 'abbreviation' may be used as a type-safe replacement for 'syntax' +
  6134 'translations' in common applications.  The "no_abbrevs" print mode
  6135 prevents folding of abbreviations in term output.
  6136 
  6137 Concrete syntax is attached to specified constants in internal form,
  6138 independently of name spaces.  The parse tree representation is
  6139 slightly different -- use 'notation' instead of raw 'syntax', and
  6140 'translations' with explicit "CONST" markup to accommodate this.
  6141 
  6142 * Pure/Isar: unified syntax for new-style specification mechanisms
  6143 (e.g.  'definition', 'abbreviation', or 'inductive' in HOL) admits
  6144 full type inference and dummy patterns ("_").  For example:
  6145 
  6146   definition "K x _ = x"
  6147 
  6148   inductive conj for A B
  6149   where "A ==> B ==> conj A B"
  6150 
  6151 * Pure: command 'print_abbrevs' prints all constant abbreviations of
  6152 the current context.  Print mode "no_abbrevs" prevents inversion of
  6153 abbreviations on output.
  6154 
  6155 * Isar/locales: improved parameter handling: use of locales "var" and
  6156 "struct" no longer necessary; - parameter renamings are no longer
  6157 required to be injective.  For example, this allows to define
  6158 endomorphisms as locale endom = homom mult mult h.
  6159 
  6160 * Isar/locales: changed the way locales with predicates are defined.
  6161 Instead of accumulating the specification, the imported expression is
  6162 now an interpretation.  INCOMPATIBILITY: different normal form of
  6163 locale expressions.  In particular, in interpretations of locales with
  6164 predicates, goals repesenting already interpreted fragments are not
  6165 removed automatically.  Use methods `intro_locales' and
  6166 `unfold_locales'; see below.
  6167 
  6168 * Isar/locales: new methods `intro_locales' and `unfold_locales'
  6169 provide backward reasoning on locales predicates.  The methods are
  6170 aware of interpretations and discharge corresponding goals.
  6171 `intro_locales' is less aggressive then `unfold_locales' and does not
  6172 unfold predicates to assumptions.
  6173 
  6174 * Isar/locales: the order in which locale fragments are accumulated
  6175 has changed.  This enables to override declarations from fragments due
  6176 to interpretations -- for example, unwanted simp rules.
  6177 
  6178 * Isar/locales: interpretation in theories and proof contexts has been
  6179 extended.  One may now specify (and prove) equations, which are
  6180 unfolded in interpreted theorems.  This is useful for replacing
  6181 defined concepts (constants depending on locale parameters) by
  6182 concepts already existing in the target context.  Example:
  6183 
  6184   interpretation partial_order ["op <= :: [int, int] => bool"]
  6185     where "partial_order.less (op <=) (x::int) y = (x < y)"
  6186 
  6187 Typically, the constant `partial_order.less' is created by a
  6188 definition specification element in the context of locale
  6189 partial_order.
  6190 
  6191 * Method "induct": improved internal context management to support
  6192 local fixes and defines on-the-fly. Thus explicit meta-level
  6193 connectives !!  and ==> are rarely required anymore in inductive goals
  6194 (using object-logic connectives for this purpose has been long
  6195 obsolete anyway). Common proof patterns are explained in
  6196 src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, see also
  6197 src/HOL/Isar_examples/Puzzle.thy and src/HOL/Lambda for realistic
  6198 examples.
  6199 
  6200 * Method "induct": improved handling of simultaneous goals. Instead of
  6201 introducing object-level conjunction, the statement is now split into
  6202 several conclusions, while the corresponding symbolic cases are nested
  6203 accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY, proofs need to be structured explicitly,
  6204 see src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, for example.
  6205 
  6206 * Method "induct": mutual induction rules are now specified as a list
  6207 of rule sharing the same induction cases. HOL packages usually provide
  6208 foo_bar.inducts for mutually defined items foo and bar (e.g. inductive
  6209 predicates/sets or datatypes). INCOMPATIBILITY, users need to specify
  6210 mutual induction rules differently, i.e. like this:
  6211 
  6212   (induct rule: foo_bar.inducts)
  6213   (induct set: foo bar)
  6214   (induct pred: foo bar)
  6215   (induct type: foo bar)
  6216 
  6217 The ML function ProjectRule.projections turns old-style rules into the
  6218 new format.
  6219 
  6220 * Method "coinduct": dual of induction, see
  6221 src/HOL/Library/Coinductive_List.thy for various examples.
  6222 
  6223 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": the ``(open)'' option is
  6224 considered a legacy feature.
  6225 
  6226 * Attribute "symmetric" produces result with standardized schematic
  6227 variables (index 0).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6228 
  6229 * Simplifier: by default the simplifier trace only shows top level
  6230 rewrites now. That is, trace_simp_depth_limit is set to 1 by
  6231 default. Thus there is less danger of being flooded by the trace. The
  6232 trace indicates where parts have been suppressed.
  6233   
  6234 * Provers/classical: removed obsolete classical version of elim_format
  6235 attribute; classical elim/dest rules are now treated uniformly when
  6236 manipulating the claset.
  6237 
  6238 * Provers/classical: stricter checks to ensure that supplied intro,
  6239 dest and elim rules are well-formed; dest and elim rules must have at
  6240 least one premise.
  6241 
  6242 * Provers/classical: attributes dest/elim/intro take an optional
  6243 weight argument for the rule (just as the Pure versions).  Weights are
  6244 ignored by automated tools, but determine the search order of single
  6245 rule steps.
  6246 
  6247 * Syntax: input syntax now supports dummy variable binding "%_. b",
  6248 where the body does not mention the bound variable.  Note that dummy
  6249 patterns implicitly depend on their context of bounds, which makes
  6250 "{_. _}" match any set comprehension as expected.  Potential
  6251 INCOMPATIBILITY -- parse translations need to cope with syntactic
  6252 constant "_idtdummy" in the binding position.
  6253 
  6254 * Syntax: removed obsolete syntactic constant "_K" and its associated
  6255 parse translation.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- use dummy abstraction instead,
  6256 for example "A -> B" => "Pi A (%_. B)".
  6257 
  6258 * Pure: 'class_deps' command visualizes the subclass relation, using
  6259 the graph browser tool.
  6260 
  6261 * Pure: 'print_theory' now suppresses certain internal declarations by
  6262 default; use '!' option for full details.
  6263 
  6264 
  6265 *** HOL ***
  6266 
  6267 * Method "metis" proves goals by applying the Metis general-purpose
  6268 resolution prover (see also http://gilith.com/software/metis/).
  6269 Examples are in the directory MetisExamples.  WARNING: the
  6270 Isabelle/HOL-Metis integration does not yet work properly with
  6271 multi-threading.
  6272   
  6273 * Command 'sledgehammer' invokes external automatic theorem provers as
  6274 background processes.  It generates calls to the "metis" method if
  6275 successful. These can be pasted into the proof.  Users do not have to
  6276 wait for the automatic provers to return.  WARNING: does not really
  6277 work with multi-threading.
  6278 
  6279 * New "auto_quickcheck" feature tests outermost goal statements for
  6280 potential counter-examples.  Controlled by ML references
  6281 auto_quickcheck (default true) and auto_quickcheck_time_limit (default
  6282 5000 milliseconds).  Fails silently if statements is outside of
  6283 executable fragment, or any other codgenerator problem occurs.
  6284 
  6285 * New constant "undefined" with axiom "undefined x = undefined".
  6286 
  6287 * Added class "HOL.eq", allowing for code generation with polymorphic
  6288 equality.
  6289 
  6290 * Some renaming of class constants due to canonical name prefixing in

  6314 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Adaptions may be required in the following cases:
  6315 
  6316 a) User-defined constants using any of the names "plus", "minus",
  6317 "times", "less" or "less_eq". The standard syntax translations for
  6318 "+", "-" and "*" may go wrong.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific
  6319 names.
  6320 
  6321 b) Variables named "plus", "minus", "times", "less", "less_eq"
  6322 INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific names.
  6323 
  6324 c) Permutative equations (e.g. "a + b = b + a")
  6325 Since the change of names also changes the order of terms, permutative
  6326 rewrite rules may get applied in a different order. Experience shows
  6327 that this is rarely the case (only two adaptions in the whole Isabelle
  6328 distribution).  INCOMPATIBILITY: rewrite proofs
  6329 
  6330 d) ML code directly refering to constant names
  6331 This in general only affects hand-written proof tactics, simprocs and
  6332 so on.  INCOMPATIBILITY: grep your sourcecode and replace names.
  6333 Consider using @{const_name} antiquotation.
  6334 
  6335 * New class "default" with associated constant "default".
  6336 
  6337 * Function "sgn" is now overloaded and available on int, real, complex
  6338 (and other numeric types), using class "sgn".  Two possible defs of
  6339 sgn are given as equational assumptions in the classes sgn_if and
  6340 sgn_div_norm; ordered_idom now also inherits from sgn_if.
  6341 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6342 
  6343 * Locale "partial_order" now unified with class "order" (cf. theory
  6344 Orderings), added parameter "less".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6345 
  6346 * Renamings in classes "order" and "linorder": facts "refl", "trans" and
  6347 "cases" to "order_refl", "order_trans" and "linorder_cases", to avoid
  6348 clashes with HOL "refl" and "trans".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6349 
  6350 * Classes "order" and "linorder": potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to
  6351 changed order of proof goals in instance proofs.
  6352 
  6353 * The transitivity reasoner for partial and linear orders is set up
  6354 for classes "order" and "linorder".  Instances of the reasoner are available
  6355 in all contexts importing or interpreting the corresponding locales.
  6356 Method "order" invokes the reasoner separately; the reasoner
  6357 is also integrated with the Simplifier as a solver.  Diagnostic
  6358 command 'print_orders' shows the available instances of the reasoner
  6359 in the current context.
  6360 
  6361 * Localized monotonicity predicate in theory "Orderings"; integrated
  6362 lemmas max_of_mono and min_of_mono with this predicate.
  6363 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6364 
  6365 * Formulation of theorem "dense" changed slightly due to integration
  6366 with new class dense_linear_order.
  6367 
  6368 * Uniform lattice theory development in HOL.
  6369 
  6370     constants "meet" and "join" now named "inf" and "sup"
  6371     constant "Meet" now named "Inf"
  6372 
  6373     classes "meet_semilorder" and "join_semilorder" now named
  6374       "lower_semilattice" and "upper_semilattice"
  6375     class "lorder" now named "lattice"
  6376     class "comp_lat" now named "complete_lattice"
  6377 
  6378     Instantiation of lattice classes allows explicit definitions
  6379     for "inf" and "sup" operations (or "Inf" and "Sup" for complete lattices).
  6380

  6483 
  6484 * Added syntactic class "size"; overloaded constant "size" now has
  6485 type "'a::size ==> bool"
  6486 
  6487 * Internal reorganisation of `size' of datatypes: size theorems
  6488 "foo.size" are no longer subsumed by "foo.simps" (but are still
  6489 simplification rules by default!); theorems "prod.size" now named
  6490 "*.size".
  6491 
  6492 * Class "div" now inherits from class "times" rather than "type".
  6493 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6494 
  6495 * HOL/Finite_Set: "name-space" locales Lattice, Distrib_lattice,
  6496 Linorder etc.  have disappeared; operations defined in terms of
  6497 fold_set now are named Inf_fin, Sup_fin.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6498 
  6499 * HOL/Nat: neq0_conv no longer declared as iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6500 
  6501 * HOL-Word: New extensive library and type for generic, fixed size
  6502 machine words, with arithmetic, bit-wise, shifting and rotating
  6503 operations, reflection into int, nat, and bool lists, automation for
  6504 linear arithmetic (by automatic reflection into nat or int), including
  6505 lemmas on overflow and monotonicity.  Instantiated to all appropriate
  6506 arithmetic type classes, supporting automatic simplification of
  6507 numerals on all operations.
  6508 
  6509 * Library/Boolean_Algebra: locales for abstract boolean algebras.
  6510 
  6511 * Library/Numeral_Type: numbers as types, e.g. TYPE(32).
  6512 
  6513 * Code generator library theories:
  6514   - Code_Integer represents HOL integers by big integer literals in target
  6515     languages.
  6516   - Code_Char represents HOL characters by character literals in target
  6517     languages.
  6518   - Code_Char_chr like Code_Char, but also offers treatment of character
  6519     codes; includes Code_Integer.
  6520   - Executable_Set allows to generate code for finite sets using lists.
  6521   - Executable_Rat implements rational numbers as triples (sign, enumerator,
  6522     denominator).
  6523   - Executable_Real implements a subset of real numbers, namly those
  6524     representable by rational numbers.
  6525   - Efficient_Nat implements natural numbers by integers, which in general will
  6526     result in higher efficency; pattern matching with 0/Suc is eliminated;
  6527     includes Code_Integer.
  6528   - Code_Index provides an additional datatype index which is mapped to
  6529     target-language built-in integers.
  6530   - Code_Message provides an additional datatype message_string which is isomorphic to
  6531     strings; messages are mapped to target-language strings.
  6532 
  6533 * New package for inductive predicates
  6534 
  6535   An n-ary predicate p with m parameters z_1, ..., z_m can now be defined via
  6536 
  6537     inductive
  6538       p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6539       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6540     where
  6541       rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  6542     | ...
  6543 
  6544   with full support for type-inference, rather than
  6545 
  6546     consts s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6547 
  6548     abbreviation p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6549     where "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6550 
  6551     inductive "s z_1 ... z_m"
  6552     intros
  6553       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6554       ...
  6555 
  6556   For backward compatibility, there is a wrapper allowing inductive
  6557   sets to be defined with the new package via
  6558 
  6559     inductive_set
  6560       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6561       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6562     where
  6563       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6564     | ...
  6565 
  6566   or
  6567 
  6568     inductive_set
  6569       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6570       and p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6571       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6572     where
  6573       "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6574     | rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  6575     | ...
  6576 
  6577   if the additional syntax "p ..." is required.
  6578 
  6579   Numerous examples can be found in the subdirectories src/HOL/Auth,
  6580   src/HOL/Bali, src/HOL/Induct, and src/HOL/MicroJava.
  6581 
  6582   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  6583 
  6584   - Since declaration and definition of inductive sets or predicates
  6585     is no longer separated, abbreviations involving the newly
  6586     introduced sets or predicates must be specified together with the
  6587     introduction rules after the 'where' keyword (see above), rather
  6588     than before the actual inductive definition.
  6589 
  6590   - The variables in induction and elimination rules are now
  6591     quantified in the order of their occurrence in the introduction
  6592     rules, rather than in alphabetical order. Since this may break
  6593     some proofs, these proofs either have to be repaired, e.g. by
  6594     reordering the variables a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i} in Isar 'case'
  6595     statements of the form
  6596 
  6597       case (rule_i a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i})
  6598 
  6599     or the old order of quantification has to be restored by explicitly adding
  6600     meta-level quantifiers in the introduction rules, i.e.
  6601 
  6602       | rule_i: "!!a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i}. ... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_i_1 ... t_i_n"
  6603 
  6604   - The format of the elimination rules is now
  6605 
  6606       p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n ==>
  6607         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  6608         ==> ... ==> P
  6609 
  6610     for predicates and
  6611 
  6612       (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  6613         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  6614         ==> ... ==> P
  6615 
  6616     for sets rather than
  6617 
  6618       x : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  6619         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x = (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) ==> ... ==> P)
  6620         ==> ... ==> P
  6621 
  6622     This may require terms in goals to be expanded to n-tuples
  6623     (e.g. using case_tac or simplification with the split_paired_all
  6624     rule) before the above elimination rule is applicable.
  6625 
  6626   - The elimination or case analysis rules for (mutually) inductive
  6627     sets or predicates are now called "p_1.cases" ... "p_k.cases". The
  6628     list of rules "p_1_..._p_k.elims" is no longer available.
  6629 
  6630 * New package "function"/"fun" for general recursive functions,
  6631 supporting mutual and nested recursion, definitions in local contexts,
  6632 more general pattern matching and partiality. See HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy
  6633 for small examples, and the separate tutorial on the function
  6634 package. The old recdef "package" is still available as before, but
  6635 users are encouraged to use the new package.
  6636 
  6637 * Method "lexicographic_order" automatically synthesizes termination
  6638 relations as lexicographic combinations of size measures. 
  6639 
  6640 * Case-expressions allow arbitrary constructor-patterns (including
  6641 "_") and take their order into account, like in functional
  6642 programming.  Internally, this is translated into nested
  6643 case-expressions; missing cases are added and mapped to the predefined
  6644 constant "undefined". In complicated cases printing may no longer show
  6645 the original input but the internal form. Lambda-abstractions allow
  6646 the same form of pattern matching: "% pat1 => e1 | ..." is an
  6647 abbreviation for "%x. case x of pat1 => e1 | ..." where x is a new
  6648 variable.
  6649 
  6650 * IntDef: The constant "int :: nat => int" has been removed; now "int"
  6651 is an abbreviation for "of_nat :: nat => int". The simplification
  6652 rules for "of_nat" have been changed to work like "int" did
  6653 previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6654   - "of_nat (Suc m)" simplifies to "1 + of_nat m" instead of "of_nat m + 1"
  6655   - of_nat_diff and of_nat_mult are no longer default simp rules
  6656 
  6657 * Method "algebra" solves polynomial equations over (semi)rings using
  6658 Groebner bases. The (semi)ring structure is defined by locales and the
  6659 tool setup depends on that generic context. Installing the method for
  6660 a specific type involves instantiating the locale and possibly adding
  6661 declarations for computation on the coefficients.  The method is
  6662 already instantiated for natural numbers and for the axiomatic class
  6663 of idoms with numerals.  See also the paper by Chaieb and Wenzel at
  6664 CALCULEMUS 2007 for the general principles underlying this
  6665 architecture of context-aware proof-tools.
  6666 
  6667 * Method "ferrack" implements quantifier elimination over
  6668 special-purpose dense linear orders using locales (analogous to
  6669 "algebra"). The method is already installed for class
  6670 {ordered_field,recpower,number_ring} which subsumes real, hyperreal,
  6671 rat, etc.
  6672 
  6673 * Former constant "List.op @" now named "List.append".  Use ML
  6674 antiquotations @{const_name List.append} or @{term " ... @ ... "} to
  6675 circumvent possible incompatibilities when working on ML level.
  6676 
  6677 * primrec: missing cases mapped to "undefined" instead of "arbitrary".
  6678 
  6679 * New function listsum :: 'a list => 'a for arbitrary monoids.
  6680 Special syntax: "SUM x <- xs. f x" (and latex variants)
  6681 
  6682 * New syntax for Haskell-like list comprehension (input only), eg.
  6683 [(x,y). x <- xs, y <- ys, x ~= y], see also src/HOL/List.thy.
  6684 
  6685 * The special syntax for function "filter" has changed from [x :
  6686 xs. P] to [x <- xs. P] to avoid an ambiguity caused by list
  6687 comprehension syntax, and for uniformity.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6688 
  6689 * [a..b] is now defined for arbitrary linear orders.  It used to be
  6690 defined on nat only, as an abbreviation for [a..<Suc b]
  6691 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6692 
  6693 * Renamed lemma "set_take_whileD"  to "set_takeWhileD".
  6694 
  6695 * New functions "sorted" and "sort" in src/HOL/List.thy.
  6696 
  6697 * New lemma collection field_simps (an extension of ring_simps) for
  6698 manipulating (in)equations involving division. Multiplies with all
  6699 denominators that can be proved to be non-zero (in equations) or
  6700 positive/negative (in inequations).
  6701 
  6702 * Lemma collections ring_eq_simps, group_eq_simps and ring_distrib
  6703 have been improved and renamed to ring_simps, group_simps and
  6704 ring_distribs.  Removed lemmas field_xyz in theory Ring_and_Field
  6705 because they were subsumed by lemmas xyz.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6706 
  6707 * Theory Library/Commutative_Ring: switched from recdef to function
  6708 package; constants add, mul, pow now curried.  Infix syntax for
  6709 algebraic operations.
  6710 
  6711 * Dropped redundant lemma def_imp_eq in favor of meta_eq_to_obj_eq.
  6712 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6713 
  6714 * Dropped redundant lemma if_def2 in favor of if_bool_eq_conj.
  6715 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6716 
  6717 * HOL/records: generalised field-update to take a function on the
  6718 field rather than the new value: r(|A := x|) is translated to A_update
  6719 (K x) r The K-combinator that is internally used is called K_record.
  6720 INCOMPATIBILITY: Usage of the plain update functions has to be
  6721 adapted.
  6722  
  6723 * Class "semiring_0" now contains annihilation axioms x * 0 = 0 and 0
  6724 * x = 0, which are required for a semiring.  Richer structures do not
  6725 inherit from semiring_0 anymore, because this property is a theorem
  6726 there, not an axiom.  INCOMPATIBILITY: In instances of semiring_0,
  6727 there is more to prove, but this is mostly trivial.
  6728 
  6729 * Class "recpower" is generalized to arbitrary monoids, not just
  6730 commutative semirings.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to incorporate
  6731 commutativity or semiring properties additionally.
  6732 
  6733 * Constant "List.list_all2" in List.thy now uses authentic syntax.
  6734 INCOMPATIBILITY: translations containing list_all2 may go wrong,
  6735 better use 'abbreviation'.
  6736 
  6737 * Renamed constant "List.op mem" to "List.member".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6738 
  6739 * Numeral syntax: type 'bin' which was a mere type copy of 'int' has
  6740 been abandoned in favour of plain 'int'.  INCOMPATIBILITY --
  6741 significant changes for setting up numeral syntax for types:
  6742   - New constants Numeral.pred and Numeral.succ instead
  6743       of former Numeral.bin_pred and Numeral.bin_succ.
  6744   - Use integer operations instead of bin_add, bin_mult and so on.
  6745   - Numeral simplification theorems named Numeral.numeral_simps instead of Bin_simps.
  6746   - ML structure Bin_Simprocs now named Int_Numeral_Base_Simprocs.
  6747 
  6748 See src/HOL/Integ/IntArith.thy for an example setup.
  6749 
  6750 * Command 'normal_form' computes the normal form of a term that may
  6751 contain free variables.  For example ``normal_form "rev [a, b, c]"''
  6752 produces ``[b, c, a]'' (without proof).  This command is suitable for
  6753 heavy-duty computations because the functions are compiled to ML
  6754 first.  Correspondingly, a method "normalization" is provided.  See
  6755 further src/HOL/ex/NormalForm.thy and src/Tools/nbe.ML.
  6756 
  6757 * Alternative iff syntax "A <-> B" for equality on bool (with priority
  6758 25 like -->); output depends on the "iff" print_mode, the default is
  6759 "A = B" (with priority 50).
  6760 
  6761 * Relations less (<) and less_eq (<=) are also available on type bool.
  6762 Modified syntax to disallow nesting without explicit parentheses,
  6763 e.g. "(x < y) < z" or "x < (y < z)", but NOT "x < y < z".  Potential
  6764 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6765 
  6766 * "LEAST x:A. P" expands to "LEAST x. x:A & P" (input only).
  6767 
  6768 * Relation composition operator "op O" now has precedence 75 and binds
  6769 stronger than union and intersection. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6770 
  6771 * The old set interval syntax "{m..n(}" (and relatives) has been
  6772 removed.  Use "{m..<n}" (and relatives) instead.
  6773 
  6774 * In the context of the assumption "~(s = t)" the Simplifier rewrites
  6775 "t = s" to False (by simproc "neq").  INCOMPATIBILITY, consider using
  6776 ``declare [[simproc del: neq]]''.
  6777 
  6778 * Simplifier: "m dvd n" where m and n are numbers is evaluated to
  6779 True/False.
  6780 
  6781 * Theorem Cons_eq_map_conv no longer declared as "simp".
  6782 
  6783 * Theorem setsum_mult renamed to setsum_right_distrib.
  6784 
  6785 * Prefer ex1I over ex_ex1I in single-step reasoning, e.g. by the
  6786 ``rule'' method.
  6787 
  6788 * Reimplemented methods "sat" and "satx", with several improvements:
  6789 goals no longer need to be stated as "<prems> ==> False", equivalences
  6790 (i.e. "=" on type bool) are handled, variable names of the form
  6791 "lit_<n>" are no longer reserved, significant speedup.
  6792 
  6793 * Methods "sat" and "satx" can now replay MiniSat proof traces.
  6794 zChaff is still supported as well.
  6795 
  6796 * 'inductive' and 'datatype': provide projections of mutual rules,
  6797 bundled as foo_bar.inducts;
  6798 
  6799 * Library: moved theories Parity, GCD, Binomial, Infinite_Set to
  6800 Library.
  6801 
  6802 * Library: moved theory Accessible_Part to main HOL.
  6803 
  6804 * Library: added theory Coinductive_List of potentially infinite lists
  6805 as greatest fixed-point.
  6806 
  6807 * Library: added theory AssocList which implements (finite) maps as
  6808 association lists.
  6809 
  6810 * Method "evaluation" solves goals (i.e. a boolean expression)
  6811 efficiently by compiling it to ML.  The goal is "proved" (via an
  6812 oracle) if it evaluates to True.
  6813 
  6814 * Linear arithmetic now splits certain operators (e.g. min, max, abs)
  6815 also when invoked by the simplifier.  This results in the Simplifier
  6816 being more powerful on arithmetic goals.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6817 Configuration option fast_arith_split_limit=0 recovers the old
  6818 behavior.
  6819 
  6820 * Support for hex (0x20) and binary (0b1001) numerals.
  6821 
  6822 * New method: reify eqs (t), where eqs are equations for an
  6823 interpretation I :: 'a list => 'b => 'c and t::'c is an optional
  6824 parameter, computes a term s::'b and a list xs::'a list and proves the
  6825 theorem I xs s = t. This is also known as reification or quoting. The
  6826 resulting theorem is applied to the subgoal to substitute t with I xs
  6827 s.  If t is omitted, the subgoal itself is reified.
  6828 
  6829 * New method: reflection corr_thm eqs (t). The parameters eqs and (t)
  6830 are as explained above. corr_thm is a theorem for I vs (f t) = I vs t,
  6831 where f is supposed to be a computable function (in the sense of code
  6832 generattion). The method uses reify to compute s and xs as above then
  6833 applies corr_thm and uses normalization by evaluation to "prove" f s =
  6834 r and finally gets the theorem t = r, which is again applied to the
  6835 subgoal. An Example is available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy.
  6836 
  6837 * Reflection: Automatic reification now handels binding, an example is
  6838 available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy
  6839 
  6840 * HOL-Statespace: ``State Spaces: The Locale Way'' introduces a
  6841 command 'statespace' that is similar to 'record', but introduces an
  6842 abstract specification based on the locale infrastructure instead of
  6843 HOL types.  This leads to extra flexibility in composing state spaces,
  6844 in particular multiple inheritance and renaming of components.
  6845 
  6846 
  6847 *** HOL-Complex ***
  6848 
  6849 * Hyperreal: Functions root and sqrt are now defined on negative real
  6850 inputs so that root n (- x) = - root n x and sqrt (- x) = - sqrt x.
  6851 Nonnegativity side conditions have been removed from many lemmas, so
  6852 that more subgoals may now be solved by simplification; potential
  6853 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6854 
  6855 * Real: new type classes formalize real normed vector spaces and
  6856 algebras, using new overloaded constants scaleR :: real => 'a => 'a
  6857 and norm :: 'a => real.
  6858 
  6859 * Real: constant of_real :: real => 'a::real_algebra_1 injects from
  6860 reals into other types. The overloaded constant Reals :: 'a set is now
  6861 defined as range of_real; potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6862 
  6863 * Real: proper support for ML code generation, including 'quickcheck'.
  6864 Reals are implemented as arbitrary precision rationals.
  6865 
  6866 * Hyperreal: Several constants that previously worked only for the
  6867 reals have been generalized, so they now work over arbitrary vector
  6868 spaces. Type annotations may need to be added in some cases; potential
  6869 INCOMPATIBILITY.

  6885   exp            :: 'a::{recpower,real_normed_field,banach} => 'a
  6886 
  6887 * Complex: Some complex-specific constants are now abbreviations for
  6888 overloaded ones: complex_of_real = of_real, cmod = norm, hcmod =
  6889 hnorm.  Other constants have been entirely removed in favor of the
  6890 polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  6891

  6901 
  6902 
  6903 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  6904 
  6905 * Formalisation of ideals and the quotient construction over rings.
  6906 
  6907 * Order and lattice theory no longer based on records.
  6908 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6909 
  6910 * Renamed lemmas least_carrier -> least_closed and greatest_carrier ->
  6911 greatest_closed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6912 
  6913 * Method algebra is now set up via an attribute.  For examples see
  6914 Ring.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY: the method is now weaker on combinations
  6915 of algebraic structures.
  6916 
  6917 * Renamed theory CRing to Ring.
  6918 
  6919 
  6920 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  6921 
  6922 * Substantial, yet incomplete support for nominal datatypes (binding
  6923 structures) based on HOL-Nominal logic.  See src/HOL/Nominal and
  6924 src/HOL/Nominal/Examples.  Prospective users should consult
  6925 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/nominal/
  6926 
  6927 
  6928 *** ML ***
  6929 
  6930 * ML basics: just one true type int, which coincides with IntInf.int
  6931 (even on SML/NJ).
  6932 
  6933 * ML within Isar: antiquotations allow to embed statically-checked
  6934 formal entities in the source, referring to the context available at
  6935 compile-time.  For example:
  6936 
  6937 ML {* @{sort "{zero,one}"} *}
  6938 ML {* @{typ "'a => 'b"} *}
  6939 ML {* @{term "%x. x"} *}
  6940 ML {* @{prop "x == y"} *}
  6941 ML {* @{ctyp "'a => 'b"} *}
  6942 ML {* @{cterm "%x. x"} *}
  6943 ML {* @{cprop "x == y"} *}
  6944 ML {* @{thm asm_rl} *}
  6945 ML {* @{thms asm_rl} *}
  6946 ML {* @{type_name c} *}
  6947 ML {* @{type_syntax c} *}
  6948 ML {* @{const_name c} *}
  6949 ML {* @{const_syntax c} *}
  6950 ML {* @{context} *}
  6951 ML {* @{theory} *}
  6952 ML {* @{theory Pure} *}
  6953 ML {* @{theory_ref} *}
  6954 ML {* @{theory_ref Pure} *}
  6955 ML {* @{simpset} *}
  6956 ML {* @{claset} *}
  6957 ML {* @{clasimpset} *}
  6958 
  6959 The same works for sources being ``used'' within an Isar context.
  6960 
  6961 * ML in Isar: improved error reporting; extra verbosity with
  6962 ML_Context.trace enabled.
  6963 
  6964 * Pure/General/table.ML: the join operations now works via exceptions
  6965 DUP/SAME instead of type option. This is simpler in simple cases, and
  6966 admits slightly more efficient complex applications.
  6967 
  6968 * Pure: 'advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) now
  6969 use Context.generic instead of just theory.
  6970 
  6971 * Pure: datatype Context.generic joins theory/Proof.context and
  6972 provides some facilities for code that works in either kind of
  6973 context, notably GenericDataFun for uniform theory and proof data.
  6974 
  6975 * Pure: simplified internal attribute type, which is now always
  6976 Context.generic * thm -> Context.generic * thm. Global (theory) vs.
  6977 local (Proof.context) attributes have been discontinued, while
  6978 minimizing code duplication. Thm.rule_attribute and
  6979 Thm.declaration_attribute build canonical attributes; see also structure
  6980 Context for further operations on Context.generic, notably
  6981 GenericDataFun. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt attribute type
  6982 declarations and definitions.
  6983 
  6984 * Context data interfaces (Theory/Proof/GenericDataFun): removed
  6985 name/print, uninitialized data defaults to ad-hoc copy of empty value,
  6986 init only required for impure data. INCOMPATIBILITY: empty really need
  6987 to be empty (no dependencies on theory content!)
  6988 
  6989 * Pure/kernel: consts certification ignores sort constraints given in
  6990 signature declarations. (This information is not relevant to the
  6991 logic, but only for type inference.) SIGNIFICANT INTERNAL CHANGE,
  6992 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6993 
  6994 * Pure: axiomatic type classes are now purely definitional, with
  6995 explicit proofs of class axioms and super class relations performed
  6996 internally. See Pure/axclass.ML for the main internal interfaces --
  6997 notably AxClass.define_class supercedes AxClass.add_axclass, and
  6998 AxClass.axiomatize_class/classrel/arity supersede
  6999 Sign.add_classes/classrel/arities.
  7000 
  7001 * Pure/Isar: Args/Attrib parsers operate on Context.generic --
  7002 global/local versions on theory vs. Proof.context have been
  7003 discontinued; Attrib.syntax and Method.syntax have been adapted
  7004 accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt parser expressions for
  7005 attributes, methods, etc.
  7006 
  7007 * Pure: several functions of signature "... -> theory -> theory * ..."
  7008 have been reoriented to "... -> theory -> ... * theory" in order to
  7009 allow natural usage in combination with the ||>, ||>>, |-> and
  7010 fold_map combinators.
  7011 
  7012 * Pure: official theorem names (closed derivations) and additional
  7013 comments (tags) are now strictly separate.  Name hints -- which are
  7014 maintained as tags -- may be attached any time without affecting the
  7015 derivation.
  7016 
  7017 * Pure: primitive rule lift_rule now takes goal cterm instead of an
  7018 actual goal state (thm).  Use Thm.lift_rule (Thm.cprem_of st i) to
  7019 achieve the old behaviour.
  7020 
  7021 * Pure: the "Goal" constant is now called "prop", supporting a
  7022 slightly more general idea of ``protecting'' meta-level rule
  7023 statements.
  7024 
  7025 * Pure: Logic.(un)varify only works in a global context, which is now
  7026 enforced instead of silently assumed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use
  7027 Logic.legacy_(un)varify as temporary workaround.
  7028 
  7029 * Pure: structure Name provides scalable operations for generating
  7030 internal variable names, notably Name.variants etc.  This replaces
  7031 some popular functions from term.ML:
  7032 
  7033   Term.variant		->  Name.variant
  7034   Term.variantlist	->  Name.variant_list
  7035   Term.invent_names	->  Name.invent_list
  7036 
  7037 Note that low-level renaming rarely occurs in new code -- operations
  7038 from structure Variable are used instead (see below).
  7039 
  7040 * Pure: structure Variable provides fundamental operations for proper
  7041 treatment of fixed/schematic variables in a context.  For example,
  7042 Variable.import introduces fixes for schematics of given facts and
  7043 Variable.export reverses the effect (up to renaming) -- this replaces
  7044 various freeze_thaw operations.
  7045 
  7046 * Pure: structure Goal provides simple interfaces for
  7047 init/conclude/finish and tactical prove operations (replacing former
  7048 Tactic.prove).  Goal.prove is the canonical way to prove results
  7049 within a given context; Goal.prove_global is a degraded version for
  7050 theory level goals, including a global Drule.standard.  Note that
  7051 OldGoals.prove_goalw_cterm has long been obsolete, since it is
  7052 ill-behaved in a local proof context (e.g. with local fixes/assumes or
  7053 in a locale context).
  7054 
  7055 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for parsing (Syntax.parse_term etc.)
  7056 and type checking (Syntax.check_term etc.), with common combinations
  7057 (Syntax.read_term etc.). These supersede former Sign.read_term etc.
  7058 which are considered legacy and await removal.
  7059 
  7060 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for type unchecking
  7061 (Syntax.uncheck_terms etc.) and unparsing (Syntax.unparse_term etc.),
  7062 with common combinations (Syntax.pretty_term, Syntax.string_of_term
  7063 etc.).  Former Sign.pretty_term, Sign.string_of_term etc. are still
  7064 available for convenience, but refer to the very same operations using
  7065 a mere theory instead of a full context.
  7066 
  7067 * Isar: simplified treatment of user-level errors, using exception
  7068 ERROR of string uniformly.  Function error now merely raises ERROR,
  7069 without any side effect on output channels.  The Isar toplevel takes
  7070 care of proper display of ERROR exceptions.  ML code may use plain
  7071 handle/can/try; cat_error may be used to concatenate errors like this:
  7072 
  7073   ... handle ERROR msg => cat_error msg "..."
  7074 
  7075 Toplevel ML code (run directly or through the Isar toplevel) may be
  7076 embedded into the Isar toplevel with exception display/debug like
  7077 this:
  7078 
  7079   Isar.toplevel (fn () => ...)
  7080 
  7081 INCOMPATIBILITY, removed special transform_error facilities, removed
  7082 obsolete variants of user-level exceptions (ERROR_MESSAGE,
  7083 Context.PROOF, ProofContext.CONTEXT, Proof.STATE, ProofHistory.FAIL)
  7084 -- use plain ERROR instead.
  7085 
  7086 * Isar: theory setup now has type (theory -> theory), instead of a
  7087 list.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use #> to compose setup functions.
  7088 
  7089 * Isar: ML toplevel pretty printer for type Proof.context, subject to
  7090 ProofContext.debug/verbose flags.
  7091 
  7092 * Isar: Toplevel.theory_to_proof admits transactions that modify the
  7093 theory before entering a proof state.  Transactions now always see a
  7094 quasi-functional intermediate checkpoint, both in interactive and
  7095 batch mode.
  7096 
  7097 * Isar: simplified interfaces for outer syntax.  Renamed
  7098 OuterSyntax.add_keywords to OuterSyntax.keywords.  Removed
  7099 OuterSyntax.add_parsers -- this functionality is now included in
  7100 OuterSyntax.command etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7101 
  7102 * Simplifier: the simpset of a running simplification process now
  7103 contains a proof context (cf. Simplifier.the_context), which is the
  7104 very context that the initial simpset has been retrieved from (by
  7105 simpset_of/local_simpset_of).  Consequently, all plug-in components
  7106 (solver, looper etc.) may depend on arbitrary proof data.
  7107 
  7108 * Simplifier.inherit_context inherits the proof context (plus the
  7109 local bounds) of the current simplification process; any simproc
  7110 etc. that calls the Simplifier recursively should do this!  Removed
  7111 former Simplifier.inherit_bounds, which is already included here --
  7112 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Tools based on low-level rewriting may even have to
  7113 specify an explicit context using Simplifier.context/theory_context.
  7114 
  7115 * Simplifier/Classical Reasoner: more abstract interfaces
  7116 change_simpset/claset for modifying the simpset/claset reference of a
  7117 theory; raw versions simpset/claset_ref etc. have been discontinued --
  7118 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7119 
  7120 * Provers: more generic wrt. syntax of object-logics, avoid hardwired
  7121 "Trueprop" etc.
  7122 
  7123 
  7124 *** System ***
  7125 
  7126 * settings: the default heap location within ISABELLE_HOME_USER now
  7127 includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER.  This simplifies use of multiple
  7128 Isabelle installations.
  7129 
  7130 * isabelle-process: option -S (secure mode) disables some critical
  7131 operations, notably runtime compilation and evaluation of ML source
  7132 code.
  7133 
  7134 * Basic Isabelle mode for jEdit, see Isabelle/lib/jedit/.
  7135 
  7136 * Support for parallel execution, using native multicore support of
  7137 Poly/ML 5.1.  The theory loader exploits parallelism when processing
  7138 independent theories, according to the given theory header
  7139 specifications. The maximum number of worker threads is specified via
  7140 usedir option -M or the "max-threads" setting in Proof General. A
  7141 speedup factor of 1.5--3.5 can be expected on a 4-core machine, and up
  7142 to 6 on a 8-core machine.  User-code needs to observe certain
  7143 guidelines for thread-safe programming, see appendix A in the Isar
  7144 Implementation manual.
  7145 
  7146 
  7147 
  7148 New in Isabelle2005 (October 2005)
  7149 ----------------------------------
  7150 
  7151 *** General ***
  7152 
  7153 * Theory headers: the new header syntax for Isar theories is
  7154 
  7155   theory <name>
  7156   imports <theory1> ... <theoryN>
  7157   uses <file1> ... <fileM>
  7158   begin
  7159 
  7160 where the 'uses' part is optional.  The previous syntax
  7161 
  7162   theory <name> = <theory1> + ... + <theoryN>:
  7163 
  7164 will disappear in the next release.  Use isatool fixheaders to convert
  7165 existing theory files.  Note that there is no change in ancient
  7166 non-Isar theories now, but these will disappear soon.
  7167 
  7168 * Theory loader: parent theories can now also be referred to via
  7169 relative and absolute paths.
  7170 
  7171 * Command 'find_theorems' searches for a list of criteria instead of a
  7172 list of constants. Known criteria are: intro, elim, dest, name:string,
  7173 simp:term, and any term. Criteria can be preceded by '-' to select
  7174 theorems that do not match. Intro, elim, dest select theorems that
  7175 match the current goal, name:s selects theorems whose fully qualified
  7176 name contain s, and simp:term selects all simplification rules whose
  7177 lhs match term.  Any other term is interpreted as pattern and selects
  7178 all theorems matching the pattern. Available in ProofGeneral under
  7179 'ProofGeneral -> Find Theorems' or C-c C-f.  Example:
  7180 
  7181   C-c C-f (100) "(_::nat) + _ + _" intro -name: "HOL."
  7182 
  7183 prints the last 100 theorems matching the pattern "(_::nat) + _ + _",
  7184 matching the current goal as introduction rule and not having "HOL."
  7185 in their name (i.e. not being defined in theory HOL).
  7186 
  7187 * Command 'thms_containing' has been discontinued in favour of
  7188 'find_theorems'; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7189 
  7190 * Communication with Proof General is now 8bit clean, which means that
  7191 Unicode text in UTF-8 encoding may be used within theory texts (both
  7192 formal and informal parts).  Cf. option -U of the Isabelle Proof
  7193 General interface.  Here are some simple examples (cf. src/HOL/ex):
  7194 
  7195   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Hebrew.html
  7196   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Chinese.html
  7197 
  7198 * Improved efficiency of the Simplifier and, to a lesser degree, the
  7199 Classical Reasoner.  Typical big applications run around 2 times
  7200 faster.
  7201 
  7202 
  7203 *** Document preparation ***
  7204 
  7205 * Commands 'display_drafts' and 'print_drafts' perform simple output
  7206 of raw sources.  Only those symbols that do not require additional
  7207 LaTeX packages (depending on comments in isabellesym.sty) are
  7208 displayed properly, everything else is left verbatim.  isatool display
  7209 and isatool print are used as front ends (these are subject to the
  7210 DVI/PDF_VIEWER and PRINT_COMMAND settings, respectively).
  7211 
  7212 * Command tags control specific markup of certain regions of text,
  7213 notably folding and hiding.  Predefined tags include "theory" (for
  7214 theory begin and end), "proof" for proof commands, and "ML" for
  7215 commands involving ML code; the additional tags "visible" and
  7216 "invisible" are unused by default.  Users may give explicit tag
  7217 specifications in the text, e.g. ''by %invisible (auto)''.  The
  7218 interpretation of tags is determined by the LaTeX job during document
  7219 preparation: see option -V of isatool usedir, or options -n and -t of
  7220 isatool document, or even the LaTeX macros \isakeeptag, \isafoldtag,
  7221 \isadroptag.
  7222 
  7223 Several document versions may be produced at the same time via isatool
  7224 usedir (the generated index.html will link all of them).  Typical
  7225 specifications include ''-V document=theory,proof,ML'' to present
  7226 theory/proof/ML parts faithfully, ''-V outline=/proof,/ML'' to fold
  7227 proof and ML commands, and ''-V mutilated=-theory,-proof,-ML'' to omit
  7228 these parts without any formal replacement text.  The Isabelle site
  7229 default settings produce ''document'' and ''outline'' versions as
  7230 specified above.
  7231 
  7232 * Several new antiquotations:
  7233 
  7234   @{term_type term} prints a term with its type annotated;
  7235 
  7236   @{typeof term} prints the type of a term;
  7237 
  7238   @{const const} is the same as @{term const}, but checks that the
  7239   argument is a known logical constant;
  7240 
  7241   @{term_style style term} and @{thm_style style thm} print a term or
  7242   theorem applying a "style" to it
  7243 
  7244   @{ML text}
  7245 
  7246 Predefined styles are 'lhs' and 'rhs' printing the lhs/rhs of
  7247 definitions, equations, inequations etc., 'concl' printing only the
  7248 conclusion of a meta-logical statement theorem, and 'prem1' .. 'prem19'
  7249 to print the specified premise.  TermStyle.add_style provides an ML
  7250 interface for introducing further styles.  See also the "LaTeX Sugar"
  7251 document practical applications.  The ML antiquotation prints
  7252 type-checked ML expressions verbatim.
  7253 
  7254 * Markup commands 'chapter', 'section', 'subsection', 'subsubsection',
  7255 and 'text' support optional locale specification '(in loc)', which
  7256 specifies the default context for interpreting antiquotations.  For
  7257 example: 'text (in lattice) {* @{thm inf_assoc}*}'.
  7258 
  7259 * Option 'locale=NAME' of antiquotations specifies an alternative
  7260 context interpreting the subsequent argument.  For example: @{thm
  7261 [locale=lattice] inf_assoc}.
  7262 
  7263 * Proper output of proof terms (@{prf ...} and @{full_prf ...}) within
  7264 a proof context.
  7265 
  7266 * Proper output of antiquotations for theory commands involving a
  7267 proof context (such as 'locale' or 'theorem (in loc) ...').
  7268 
  7269 * Delimiters of outer tokens (string etc.) now produce separate LaTeX
  7270 macros (\isachardoublequoteopen, isachardoublequoteclose etc.).
  7271 
  7272 * isatool usedir: new option -C (default true) controls whether option
  7273 -D should include a copy of the original document directory; -C false
  7274 prevents unwanted effects such as copying of administrative CVS data.
  7275 
  7276 
  7277 *** Pure ***
  7278 
  7279 * Considerably improved version of 'constdefs' command.  Now performs
  7280 automatic type-inference of declared constants; additional support for
  7281 local structure declarations (cf. locales and HOL records), see also
  7282 isar-ref manual.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to observe strictly
  7283 sequential dependencies of definitions within a single 'constdefs'
  7284 section; moreover, the declared name needs to be an identifier.  If
  7285 all fails, consider to fall back on 'consts' and 'defs' separately.
  7286 
  7287 * Improved indexed syntax and implicit structures.  First of all,
  7288 indexed syntax provides a notational device for subscripted
  7289 application, using the new syntax \<^bsub>term\<^esub> for arbitrary
  7290 expressions.  Secondly, in a local context with structure
  7291 declarations, number indexes \<^sub>n or the empty index (default
  7292 number 1) refer to a certain fixed variable implicitly; option
  7293 show_structs controls printing of implicit structures.  Typical
  7294 applications of these concepts involve record types and locales.
  7295 
  7296 * New command 'no_syntax' removes grammar declarations (and
  7297 translations) resulting from the given syntax specification, which is
  7298 interpreted in the same manner as for the 'syntax' command.
  7299 
  7300 * 'Advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) may depend
  7301 on the signature of the theory context being presently used for
  7302 parsing/printing, see also isar-ref manual.
  7303 
  7304 * Improved 'oracle' command provides a type-safe interface to turn an
  7305 ML expression of type theory -> T -> term into a primitive rule of
  7306 type theory -> T -> thm (i.e. the functionality of Thm.invoke_oracle
  7307 is already included here); see also FOL/ex/IffExample.thy;
  7308 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7309 
  7310 * axclass: name space prefix for class "c" is now "c_class" (was "c"
  7311 before); "cI" is no longer bound, use "c.intro" instead.
  7312 INCOMPATIBILITY.  This change avoids clashes of fact bindings for
  7313 axclasses vs. locales.
  7314 
  7315 * Improved internal renaming of symbolic identifiers -- attach primes
  7316 instead of base 26 numbers.
  7317 
  7318 * New flag show_question_marks controls printing of leading question
  7319 marks in schematic variable names.
  7320 
  7321 * In schematic variable names, *any* symbol following \<^isub> or
  7322 \<^isup> is now treated as part of the base name.  For example, the
  7323 following works without printing of awkward ".0" indexes:
  7324 
  7325   lemma "x\<^isub>1 = x\<^isub>2 ==> x\<^isub>2 = x\<^isub>1"
  7326     by simp
  7327 
  7328 * Inner syntax includes (*(*nested*) comments*).
  7329 
  7330 * Pretty printer now supports unbreakable blocks, specified in mixfix
  7331 annotations as "(00...)".
  7332 
  7333 * Clear separation of logical types and nonterminals, where the latter
  7334 may only occur in 'syntax' specifications or type abbreviations.
  7335 Before that distinction was only partially implemented via type class
  7336 "logic" vs. "{}".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare cases of improper
  7337 use of 'types'/'consts' instead of 'nonterminals'/'syntax'.  Some very
  7338 exotic syntax specifications may require further adaption
  7339 (e.g. Cube/Cube.thy).
  7340 
  7341 * Removed obsolete type class "logic", use the top sort {} instead.
  7342 Note that non-logical types should be declared as 'nonterminals'
  7343 rather than 'types'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for new object-logic
  7344 specifications.
  7345 
  7346 * Attributes 'induct' and 'cases': type or set names may now be
  7347 locally fixed variables as well.
  7348 
  7349 * Simplifier: can now control the depth to which conditional rewriting
  7350 is traced via the PG menu Isabelle -> Settings -> Trace Simp Depth
  7351 Limit.
  7352 
  7353 * Simplifier: simplification procedures may now take the current
  7354 simpset into account (cf. Simplifier.simproc(_i) / mk_simproc
  7355 interface), which is very useful for calling the Simplifier
  7356 recursively.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: the 'prems' argument of simprocs
  7357 is gone -- use prems_of_ss on the simpset instead.  Moreover, the
  7358 low-level mk_simproc no longer applies Logic.varify internally, to
  7359 allow for use in a context of fixed variables.
  7360 
  7361 * thin_tac now works even if the assumption being deleted contains !!
  7362 or ==>.  More generally, erule now works even if the major premise of
  7363 the elimination rule contains !! or ==>.
  7364 
  7365 * Method 'rules' has been renamed to 'iprover'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7366 
  7367 * Reorganized bootstrapping of the Pure theories; CPure is now derived
  7368 from Pure, which contains all common declarations already.  Both
  7369 theories are defined via plain Isabelle/Isar .thy files.
  7370 INCOMPATIBILITY: elements of CPure (such as the CPure.intro /
  7371 CPure.elim / CPure.dest attributes) now appear in the Pure name space;
  7372 use isatool fixcpure to adapt your theory and ML sources.
  7373 
  7374 * New syntax 'name(i-j, i-, i, ...)' for referring to specific
  7375 selections of theorems in named facts via index ranges.
  7376 
  7377 * 'print_theorems': in theory mode, really print the difference
  7378 wrt. the last state (works for interactive theory development only),
  7379 in proof mode print all local facts (cf. 'print_facts');
  7380 
  7381 * 'hide': option '(open)' hides only base names.
  7382 
  7383 * More efficient treatment of intermediate checkpoints in interactive
  7384 theory development.
  7385 
  7386 * Code generator is now invoked via code_module (incremental code
  7387 generation) and code_library (modular code generation, ML structures
  7388 for each theory).  INCOMPATIBILITY: new keywords 'file' and 'contains'
  7389 must be quoted when used as identifiers.
  7390 
  7391 * New 'value' command for reading, evaluating and printing terms using
  7392 the code generator.  INCOMPATIBILITY: command keyword 'value' must be
  7393 quoted when used as identifier.
  7394 
  7395 
  7396 *** Locales ***
  7397 
  7398 * New commands for the interpretation of locale expressions in
  7399 theories (1), locales (2) and proof contexts (3).  These generate
  7400 proof obligations from the expression specification.  After the
  7401 obligations have been discharged, theorems of the expression are added
  7402 to the theory, target locale or proof context.  The synopsis of the
  7403 commands is a follows:
  7404 
  7405   (1) interpretation expr inst
  7406   (2) interpretation target < expr
  7407   (3) interpret expr inst
  7408 
  7409 Interpretation in theories and proof contexts require a parameter
  7410 instantiation of terms from the current context.  This is applied to
  7411 specifications and theorems of the interpreted expression.
  7412 Interpretation in locales only permits parameter renaming through the
  7413 locale expression.  Interpretation is smart in that interpretations
  7414 that are active already do not occur in proof obligations, neither are
  7415 instantiated theorems stored in duplicate.  Use 'print_interps' to
  7416 inspect active interpretations of a particular locale.  For details,
  7417 see the Isar Reference manual.  Examples can be found in
  7418 HOL/Finite_Set.thy and HOL/Algebra/UnivPoly.thy.
  7419 
  7420 INCOMPATIBILITY: former 'instantiate' has been withdrawn, use
  7421 'interpret' instead.
  7422 
  7423 * New context element 'constrains' for adding type constraints to
  7424 parameters.
  7425 
  7426 * Context expressions: renaming of parameters with syntax
  7427 redeclaration.
  7428 
  7429 * Locale declaration: 'includes' disallowed.
  7430 
  7431 * Proper static binding of attribute syntax -- i.e. types / terms /
  7432 facts mentioned as arguments are always those of the locale definition
  7433 context, independently of the context of later invocations.  Moreover,
  7434 locale operations (renaming and type / term instantiation) are applied
  7435 to attribute arguments as expected.
  7436 
  7437 INCOMPATIBILITY of the ML interface: always pass Attrib.src instead of
  7438 actual attributes; rare situations may require Attrib.attribute to
  7439 embed those attributes into Attrib.src that lack concrete syntax.
  7440 Attribute implementations need to cooperate properly with the static
  7441 binding mechanism.  Basic parsers Args.XXX_typ/term/prop and
  7442 Attrib.XXX_thm etc. already do the right thing without further
  7443 intervention.  Only unusual applications -- such as "where" or "of"
  7444 (cf. src/Pure/Isar/attrib.ML), which process arguments depending both
  7445 on the context and the facts involved -- may have to assign parsed
  7446 values to argument tokens explicitly.
  7447 
  7448 * Changed parameter management in theorem generation for long goal
  7449 statements with 'includes'.  INCOMPATIBILITY: produces a different
  7450 theorem statement in rare situations.
  7451 
  7452 * Locale inspection command 'print_locale' omits notes elements.  Use
  7453 'print_locale!' to have them included in the output.
  7454 
  7455 
  7456 *** Provers ***
  7457 
  7458 * Provers/hypsubst.ML: improved version of the subst method, for
  7459 single-step rewriting: it now works in bound variable contexts. New is
  7460 'subst (asm)', for rewriting an assumption.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may
  7461 rewrite a different subterm than the original subst method, which is
  7462 still available as 'simplesubst'.
  7463 
  7464 * Provers/quasi.ML: new transitivity reasoners for transitivity only
  7465 and quasi orders.
  7466 
  7467 * Provers/trancl.ML: new transitivity reasoner for transitive and
  7468 reflexive-transitive closure of relations.
  7469 
  7470 * Provers/blast.ML: new reference depth_limit to make blast's depth
  7471 limit (previously hard-coded with a value of 20) user-definable.
  7472 
  7473 * Provers/simplifier.ML has been moved to Pure, where Simplifier.setup
  7474 is peformed already.  Object-logics merely need to finish their
  7475 initial simpset configuration as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7476 
  7477 
  7478 *** HOL ***
  7479 
  7480 * Symbolic syntax of Hilbert Choice Operator is now as follows:
  7481 
  7482   syntax (epsilon)
  7483     "_Eps" :: "[pttrn, bool] => 'a"    ("(3\<some>_./ _)" [0, 10] 10)
  7484 
  7485 The symbol \<some> is displayed as the alternative epsilon of LaTeX
  7486 and x-symbol; use option '-m epsilon' to get it actually printed.
  7487 Moreover, the mathematically important symbolic identifier \<epsilon>
  7488 becomes available as variable, constant etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  7489 
  7490 * "x > y" abbreviates "y < x" and "x >= y" abbreviates "y <= x".
  7491 Similarly for all quantifiers: "ALL x > y" etc.  The x-symbol for >=
  7492 is \<ge>. New transitivity rules have been added to HOL/Orderings.thy to
  7493 support corresponding Isar calculations.
  7494 
  7495 * "{x:A. P}" abbreviates "{x. x:A & P}", and similarly for "\<in>"
  7496 instead of ":".
  7497 
  7498 * theory SetInterval: changed the syntax for open intervals:
  7499 
  7500   Old       New
  7501   {..n(}    {..<n}
  7502   {)n..}    {n<..}
  7503   {m..n(}   {m..<n}
  7504   {)m..n}   {m<..n}
  7505   {)m..n(}  {m<..<n}
  7506 
  7507 The old syntax is still supported but will disappear in the next
  7508 release.  For conversion use the following Emacs search and replace
  7509 patterns (these are not perfect but work quite well):

  7512   \.\.\([^(}]*\)(}  ->  \.\.<\1}
  7513 
  7514 * Theory Commutative_Ring (in Library): method comm_ring for proving
  7515 equalities in commutative rings; method 'algebra' provides a generic
  7516 interface.
  7517 
  7518 * Theory Finite_Set: changed the syntax for 'setsum', summation over
  7519 finite sets: "setsum (%x. e) A", which used to be "\<Sum>x:A. e", is
  7520 now either "SUM x:A. e" or "\<Sum>x \<in> A. e". The bound variable can
  7521 be a tuple pattern.
  7522 
  7523 Some new syntax forms are available:
  7524 
  7525   "\<Sum>x | P. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {x. P}"
  7526   "\<Sum>x = a..b. e"   for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..b}"
  7527   "\<Sum>x = a..<b. e"  for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..<b}"
  7528   "\<Sum>x < k. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {..<k}"
  7529 
  7530 The latter form "\<Sum>x < k. e" used to be based on a separate
  7531 function "Summation", which has been discontinued.
  7532 
  7533 * theory Finite_Set: in structured induction proofs, the insert case
  7534 is now 'case (insert x F)' instead of the old counterintuitive 'case
  7535 (insert F x)'.
  7536 
  7537 * The 'refute' command has been extended to support a much larger
  7538 fragment of HOL, including axiomatic type classes, constdefs and
  7539 typedefs, inductive datatypes and recursion.
  7540 
  7541 * New tactics 'sat' and 'satx' to prove propositional tautologies.
  7542 Requires zChaff with proof generation to be installed.  See
  7543 HOL/ex/SAT_Examples.thy for examples.
  7544 
  7545 * Datatype induction via method 'induct' now preserves the name of the
  7546 induction variable. For example, when proving P(xs::'a list) by
  7547 induction on xs, the induction step is now P(xs) ==> P(a#xs) rather
  7548 than P(list) ==> P(a#list) as previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  7549 in unstructured proof scripts.
  7550 
  7551 * Reworked implementation of records.  Improved scalability for
  7552 records with many fields, avoiding performance problems for type
  7553 inference. Records are no longer composed of nested field types, but
  7554 of nested extension types. Therefore the record type only grows linear
  7555 in the number of extensions and not in the number of fields.  The
  7556 top-level (users) view on records is preserved.  Potential
  7557 INCOMPATIBILITY only in strange cases, where the theory depends on the
  7558 old record representation. The type generated for a record is called
  7559 <record_name>_ext_type.
  7560 
  7561 Flag record_quick_and_dirty_sensitive can be enabled to skip the
  7562 proofs triggered by a record definition or a simproc (if
  7563 quick_and_dirty is enabled).  Definitions of large records can take
  7564 quite long.
  7565 
  7566 New simproc record_upd_simproc for simplification of multiple record
  7567 updates enabled by default.  Moreover, trivial updates are also
  7568 removed: r(|x := x r|) = r.  INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break
  7569 occasionally, since simplification is more powerful by default.
  7570 
  7571 * typedef: proper support for polymorphic sets, which contain extra
  7572 type-variables in the term.
  7573 
  7574 * Simplifier: automatically reasons about transitivity chains
  7575 involving "trancl" (r^+) and "rtrancl" (r^*) by setting up tactics
  7576 provided by Provers/trancl.ML as additional solvers.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  7577 old proofs break occasionally as simplification may now solve more
  7578 goals than previously.
  7579 
  7580 * Simplifier: converts x <= y into x = y if assumption y <= x is
  7581 present.  Works for all partial orders (class "order"), in particular
  7582 numbers and sets.  For linear orders (e.g. numbers) it treats ~ x < y
  7583 just like y <= x.
  7584 
  7585 * Simplifier: new simproc for "let x = a in f x".  If a is a free or
  7586 bound variable or a constant then the let is unfolded.  Otherwise
  7587 first a is simplified to b, and then f b is simplified to g. If
  7588 possible we abstract b from g arriving at "let x = b in h x",
  7589 otherwise we unfold the let and arrive at g.  The simproc can be
  7590 enabled/disabled by the reference use_let_simproc.  Potential
  7591 INCOMPATIBILITY since simplification is more powerful by default.
  7592 
  7593 * Classical reasoning: the meson method now accepts theorems as arguments.
  7594 
  7595 * Prover support: pre-release of the Isabelle-ATP linkup, which runs background
  7596 jobs to provide advice on the provability of subgoals.
  7597 
  7598 * Theory OrderedGroup and Ring_and_Field: various additions and
  7599 improvements to faciliate calculations involving equalities and
  7600 inequalities.
  7601 
  7602 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7603 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7604 
  7605   abs_eq             now named abs_of_nonneg
  7606   abs_of_ge_0        now named abs_of_nonneg

  7614   mult_neg           now named mult_neg_neg
  7615   mult_neg_le        now named mult_nonpos_nonpos
  7616 
  7617 * The following lemmas in Ring_and_Field have been added to the simplifier:
  7618      
  7619      zero_le_square
  7620      not_square_less_zero 
  7621 
  7622   The following lemmas have been deleted from Real/RealPow:

  7629      abs_realpow_two
  7630      realpow_two_abs     
  7631 
  7632 * Theory Parity: added rules for simplifying exponents.
  7633 
  7634 * Theory List:
  7635 
  7636 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7637 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7638 
  7639   list_all_Nil       now named list_all.simps(1)
  7640   list_all_Cons      now named list_all.simps(2)
  7641   list_all_conv      now named list_all_iff
  7642   set_mem_eq         now named mem_iff
  7643 
  7644 * Theories SetsAndFunctions and BigO (see HOL/Library) support
  7645 asymptotic "big O" calculations.  See the notes in BigO.thy.
  7646 
  7647 
  7648 *** HOL-Complex ***
  7649 
  7650 * Theory RealDef: better support for embedding natural numbers and
  7651 integers in the reals.
  7652 
  7653 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7654 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7655 
  7656   exp_ge_add_one_self  now requires no hypotheses
  7657   real_of_int_add      reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7658   real_of_int_minus    reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7659   real_of_int_diff     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7660   real_of_int_mult     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7661 
  7662 * Theory RComplete: expanded support for floor and ceiling functions.
  7663 
  7664 * Theory Ln is new, with properties of the natural logarithm
  7665 
  7666 * Hyperreal: There is a new type constructor "star" for making
  7667 nonstandard types.  The old type names are now type synonyms:
  7668 
  7669   hypreal = real star
  7670   hypnat = nat star
  7671   hcomplex = complex star
  7672 
  7673 * Hyperreal: Many groups of similarly-defined constants have been
  7674 replaced by polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7675

  7689 
  7690 * Hyperreal: Many type-specific theorems have been removed in favor of
  7691 theorems specific to various axiomatic type classes (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  7717 
  7718 * Hyperreal: Separate theorems having to do with type-specific
  7719 versions of constants have been merged into theorems that apply to the
  7720 new polymorphic constants (INCOMPATIBILITY):

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

 10628 
 10629 New in Isabelle94-7 (November 96)
 10630 ---------------------------------
 10631 
 10632 * allowing negative levels (as offsets) in prlev and choplev;
 10633 
 10634 * super-linear speedup for large simplifications;
 10635 
 10636 * FOL, ZF and HOL now use miniscoping: rewriting pushes
 10637 quantifications in as far as possible (COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS
 10638 FAIL); can suppress it using the command Delsimps (ex_simps @
 10639 all_simps); De Morgan laws are also now included, by default;
 10640 
 10641 * improved printing of ==>  :  ~:
 10642 
 10643 * new object-logic "Sequents" adds linear logic, while replacing LK
 10644 and Modal (thanks to Sara Kalvala);
 10645 
 10646 * HOL/Auth: correctness proofs for authentication protocols;
 10647 
 10648 * HOL: new auto_tac combines rewriting and classical reasoning (many
 10649 examples on HOL/Auth);
 10650 
 10651 * HOL: new command AddIffs for declaring theorems of the form P=Q to
 10652 the rewriter and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 10653 
 10654 * function uresult no longer returns theorems in "standard" format;
 10655 regain previous version by: val uresult = standard o uresult;
 10656 
 10657 
 10658 
 10659 New in Isabelle94-6
 10660 -------------------
 10661 
 10662 * oracles -- these establish an interface between Isabelle and trusted
 10663 external reasoners, which may deliver results as theorems;
 10664 
 10665 * proof objects (in particular record all uses of oracles);
 10666 
 10667 * Simp_tac, Fast_tac, etc. that refer to implicit simpset / claset;
 10668 
 10669 * "constdefs" section in theory files;
 10670 
 10671 * "primrec" section (HOL) no longer requires names;
 10672 
 10673 * internal type "tactic" now simply "thm -> thm Sequence.seq";
 10674 
 10675 
 10676 
 10677 New in Isabelle94-5
 10678 -------------------
 10679 
 10680 * reduced space requirements;
 10681 
 10682 * automatic HTML generation from theories;
 10683 
 10684 * theory files no longer require "..." (quotes) around most types;
 10685 
 10686 * new examples, including two proofs of the Church-Rosser theorem;
 10687 
 10688 * non-curried (1994) version of HOL is no longer distributed;
 10689 
 10690 
 10691 
 10692 New in Isabelle94-4
 10693 -------------------
 10694 
 10695 * greatly reduced space requirements;
 10696 
 10697 * theory files (.thy) no longer require \...\ escapes at line breaks;
 10698 
 10699 * searchable theorem database (see the section "Retrieving theorems" on
 10700 page 8 of the Reference Manual);
 10701 
 10702 * new examples, including Grabczewski's monumental case study of the
 10703 Axiom of Choice;
 10704 
 10705 * The previous version of HOL renamed to Old_HOL;
 10706 
 10707 * The new version of HOL (previously called CHOL) uses a curried syntax
 10708 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b);
 10709 
 10710 * Mutually recursive inductive definitions finally work in HOL;
 10711 
 10712 * In ZF, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions and
 10713 translates to the operator "split";
 10714 
 10715 
 10716 
 10717 New in Isabelle94-3
 10718 -------------------
 10719 
 10720 * new infix operator, addss, allowing the classical reasoner to
 10721 perform simplification at each step of its search.  Example:
 10722         fast_tac (cs addss ss)
 10723 
 10724 * a new logic, CHOL, the same as HOL, but with a curried syntax
 10725 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b).  Also pairs
 10726 look like (a,b) instead of <a,b>;
 10727 
 10728 * PLEASE NOTE: CHOL will eventually replace HOL!
 10729 
 10730 * In CHOL, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions.
 10731 It translates to the operator "split".  A new theory of integers is available;
 10732 
 10733 * In ZF, integer numerals now denote two's-complement binary integers.
 10734 Arithmetic operations can be performed by rewriting.  See ZF/ex/Bin.ML;
 10735 
 10736 * Many new examples: I/O automata, Church-Rosser theorem, equivalents
 10737 of the Axiom of Choice;
 10738 
 10739 
 10740 
 10741 New in Isabelle94-2
 10742 -------------------
 10743 
 10744 * Significantly faster resolution;
 10745 
 10746 * the different sections in a .thy file can now be mixed and repeated
 10747 freely;
 10748 
 10749 * Database of theorems for FOL, HOL and ZF.  New
 10750 commands including qed, qed_goal and bind_thm store theorems in the database.
 10751 
 10752 * Simple database queries: return a named theorem (get_thm) or all theorems of
 10753 a given theory (thms_of), or find out what theory a theorem was proved in
 10754 (theory_of_thm);
 10755 
 10756 * Bugs fixed in the inductive definition and datatype packages;
 10757 
 10758 * The classical reasoner provides deepen_tac and depth_tac, making FOL_dup_cs
 10759 and HOL_dup_cs obsolete;
 10760 
 10761 * Syntactic ambiguities caused by the new treatment of syntax in Isabelle94-1
 10762 have been removed;
 10763 
 10764 * Simpler definition of function space in ZF;
 10765 
 10766 * new results about cardinal and ordinal arithmetic in ZF;
 10767 
 10768 * 'subtype' facility in HOL for introducing new types as subsets of existing
 10769 types;
