     1 Isabelle NEWS -- history user-relevant changes
     2 ==============================================
     3 
     4 New in Isabelle2014 (August 2014)
     5 ---------------------------------
     6 
     7 *** General ***
     8 
     9 * Support for official Standard ML within the Isabelle context.
    10 Command 'SML_file' reads and evaluates the given Standard ML file.
    11 Toplevel bindings are stored within the theory context; the initial
    12 environment is restricted to the Standard ML implementation of
    13 Poly/ML, without the add-ons of Isabelle/ML.  Commands 'SML_import'
    14 and 'SML_export' allow to exchange toplevel bindings between the two
    15 separate environments.  See also ~~/src/Tools/SML/Examples.thy for
    16 some examples.
    17 
    18 * More static checking of proof methods, which allows the system to
    19 form a closure over the concrete syntax.  Method arguments should be
    20 processed in the original proof context as far as possible, before
    21 operating on the goal state.  In any case, the standard discipline for
    22 subgoal-addressing needs to be observed: no subgoals or a subgoal
    23 number that is out of range produces an empty result sequence, not an
    24 exception.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for non-conformant tactical
    25 proof tools.
    26 
    27 * Lexical syntax (inner and outer) supports text cartouches with
    28 arbitrary nesting, and without escapes of quotes etc.  The Prover IDE
    29 supports input via ` (backquote).
    30 
    31 * The outer syntax categories "text" (for formal comments and document
    32 markup commands) and "altstring" (for literal fact references) allow
    33 cartouches as well, in addition to the traditional mix of quotations.
    34 
    35 * Syntax of document antiquotation @{rail} now uses \<newline> instead
    36 of "\\", to avoid the optical illusion of escaped backslash within
    37 string token.  General renovation of its syntax using text cartouces.
    38 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    39 
    40 * Discontinued legacy_isub_isup, which was a temporary workaround for
    41 Isabelle/ML in Isabelle2013-1.  The prover process no longer accepts
    42 old identifier syntax with \<^isub> or \<^isup>.  Potential
    43 INCOMPATIBILITY.
    44 
    45 * Document antiquotation @{url} produces markup for the given URL,
    46 which results in an active hyperlink within the text.
    47 
    48 * Document antiquotation @{file_unchecked} is like @{file}, but does
    49 not check existence within the file-system.
    50 
    51 * Updated and extended manuals: codegen, datatypes, implementation,
    52 isar-ref, jedit, system.
    53 
    54 
    55 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
    56 
    57 * Improved Document panel: simplied interaction where every single
    58 mouse click (re)opens document via desktop environment or as jEdit
    59 buffer.
    60 
    61 * Support for Navigator plugin (with toolbar buttons), with connection
    62 to PIDE hyperlinks.
    63 
    64 * Auxiliary files ('ML_file' etc.) are managed by the Prover IDE.
    65 Open text buffers take precedence over copies within the file-system.
    66 
    67 * Improved support for Isabelle/ML, with jEdit mode "isabelle-ml" for
    68 auxiliary ML files.
    69 
    70 * Improved syntactic and semantic completion mechanism, with simple
    71 templates, completion language context, name-space completion,
    72 file-name completion, spell-checker completion.
    73 
    74 * Refined GUI popup for completion: more robust key/mouse event
    75 handling and propagation to enclosing text area -- avoid loosing
    76 keystrokes with slow / remote graphics displays.
    77 
    78 * Refined insertion of completion items wrt. jEdit text: multiple
    79 selections, rectangular selections, rectangular selection as "tall
    80 caret".
    81 
    82 * Integrated spell-checker for document text, comments etc. with
    83 completion popup and context-menu.
    84 
    85 * More general "Query" panel supersedes "Find" panel, with GUI access
    86 to commands 'find_theorems' and 'find_consts', as well as print
    87 operations for the context.  Minor incompatibility in keyboard
    88 shortcuts etc.: replace action isabelle-find by isabelle-query.
    89 
    90 * Search field for all output panels ("Output", "Query", "Info" etc.)
    91 to highlight text via regular expression.
    92 
    93 * Option "jedit_print_mode" (see also "Plugin Options / Isabelle /
    94 General") allows to specify additional print modes for the prover
    95 process, without requiring old-fashioned command-line invocation of
    96 "isabelle jedit -m MODE".
    97 
    98 * More support for remote files (e.g. http) using standard Java
    99 networking operations instead of jEdit virtual file-systems.
   100 
   101 * Improved Console/Scala plugin: more uniform scala.Console output,
   102 more robust treatment of threads and interrupts.
   103 
   104 * Improved management of dockable windows: clarified keyboard focus
   105 and window placement wrt. main editor view; optional menu item to
   106 "Detach" a copy where this makes sense.
   107 
   108 * New Simplifier Trace panel provides an interactive view of the
   109 simplification process, enabled by the "simplifier_trace" attribute
   110 within the context.
   111 
   112 
   113 
   114 *** Pure ***
   115 
   116 * Basic constants of Pure use more conventional names and are always
   117 qualified.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY, but with potentially serious
   118 consequences, notably for tools in Isabelle/ML.  The following
   119 renaming needs to be applied:
   120 
   121   ==             ~>  Pure.eq
   122   ==>            ~>  Pure.imp
   123   all            ~>  Pure.all
   124   TYPE           ~>  Pure.type
   125   dummy_pattern  ~>  Pure.dummy_pattern
   126 
   127 Systematic porting works by using the following theory setup on a
   128 *previous* Isabelle version to introduce the new name accesses for the
   129 old constants:
   130 
   131 setup {*
   132   fn thy => thy
   133     |> Sign.root_path
   134     |> Sign.const_alias (Binding.qualify true "Pure" @{binding eq}) "=="
   135     |> Sign.const_alias (Binding.qualify true "Pure" @{binding imp}) "==>"
   136     |> Sign.const_alias (Binding.qualify true "Pure" @{binding all}) "all"
   137     |> Sign.restore_naming thy
   138 *}
   139 
   140 Thus ML antiquotations like @{const_name Pure.eq} may be used already.
   141 Later the application is moved to the current Isabelle version, and
   142 the auxiliary aliases are deleted.
   143 
   144 * Low-level type-class commands 'classes', 'classrel', 'arities' have
   145 been discontinued to avoid the danger of non-trivial axiomatization
   146 that is not immediately visible.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use regular
   147 'instance' command with proof.  The required OFCLASS(...) theorem
   148 might be postulated via 'axiomatization' beforehand, or the proof
   149 finished trivially if the underlying class definition is made vacuous
   150 (without any assumptions).  See also Isabelle/ML operations
   151 Axclass.class_axiomatization, Axclass.classrel_axiomatization,
   152 Axclass.arity_axiomatization.
   153 
   154 * Attributes "where" and "of" allow an optional context of local
   155 variables ('for' declaration): these variables become schematic in the
   156 instantiated theorem.
   157 
   158 * Obsolete attribute "standard" has been discontinued (legacy since
   159 Isabelle2012).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use explicit 'for' context
   160 where instantiations with schematic variables are intended (for
   161 declaration commands like 'lemmas' or attributes like "of").  The
   162 following temporary definition may help to port old applications:
   163 
   164   attribute_setup standard =
   165     "Scan.succeed (Thm.rule_attribute (K Drule.export_without_context))"
   166 
   167 * More thorough check of proof context for goal statements and
   168 attributed fact expressions (concerning background theory, declared
   169 hyps).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, tools need to observe standard
   170 context discipline.  See also Assumption.add_assumes and the more
   171 primitive Thm.assume_hyps.
   172 
   173 * Inner syntax token language allows regular quoted strings "..."
   174 (only makes sense in practice, if outer syntax is delimited
   175 differently, e.g. via cartouches).
   176 
   177 * Code generator preprocessor: explicit control of simp tracing on a
   178 per-constant basis.  See attribute "code_preproc".
   179 
   180 * Command 'print_term_bindings' supersedes 'print_binds' for clarity,
   181 but the latter is retained some time as Proof General legacy.
   182 
   183 
   184 *** HOL ***
   185 
   186 * Qualified String.implode and String.explode.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   187 
   188 * Command and antiquotation "value" are now hardcoded against nbe and
   189 ML.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   190 
   191 * Separate command "approximate" for approximative computation in
   192 src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   193 
   194 * Adjustion of INF and SUP operations:
   195   - Elongated constants INFI and SUPR to INFIMUM and SUPREMUM.
   196   - Consolidated theorem names containing INFI and SUPR: have INF and
   197     SUP instead uniformly.
   198   - More aggressive normalization of expressions involving INF and Inf
   199     or SUP and Sup.
   200   - INF_image and SUP_image do not unfold composition.
   201   - Dropped facts INF_comp, SUP_comp.
   202   - Default congruence rules strong_INF_cong and strong_SUP_cong, with
   203     simplifier implication in premises.  Generalize and replace former
   204     INT_cong, SUP_cong
   205 
   206 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   207 
   208 * Revisions to HOL/Number_Theory
   209   - consolidated the proofs of the binomial theorem
   210   - the function fib is again of type nat=>nat and not overloaded
   211   - no more references to Old_Number_Theory in the HOL libraries (except the AFP)
   212 
   213 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   214 
   215 * Swapped orientation of facts image_comp and vimage_comp:
   216 
   217   image_compose ~> image_comp [symmetric]
   218   image_comp ~> image_comp [symmetric]
   219   vimage_compose ~> vimage_comp [symmetric]
   220   vimage_comp ~> vimage_comp [symmetric]
   221 
   222 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   223 
   224 * Simplifier: Enhanced solver of preconditions of rewrite rules can
   225 now deal with conjunctions.  For help with converting proofs, the old
   226 behaviour of the simplifier can be restored like this: declare/using
   227 [[simp_legacy_precond]].  This configuration option will disappear
   228 again in the future.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   229 
   230 * HOL-Word:
   231   - Abandoned fact collection "word_arith_alts", which is a duplicate
   232     of "word_arith_wis".
   233   - Dropped first (duplicated) element in fact collections
   234     "sint_word_ariths", "word_arith_alts", "uint_word_ariths",
   235     "uint_word_arith_bintrs".
   236 
   237 * Code generator: enforce case of identifiers only for strict target
   238 language requirements.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   239 
   240 * Code generator: explicit proof contexts in many ML interfaces.
   241 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   242 
   243 * Code generator: minimize exported identifiers by default.  Minor
   244 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   245 
   246 * Code generation for SML and OCaml: dropped arcane "no_signatures"
   247 option.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   248 
   249 * Simproc "finite_Collect" is no longer enabled by default, due to
   250 spurious crashes and other surprises.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
   251 
   252 * Moved new (co)datatype package and its dependencies from session
   253   "HOL-BNF" to "HOL".  The commands 'bnf', 'wrap_free_constructors',
   254   'datatype_new', 'codatatype', 'primcorec', 'primcorecursive' are now
   255   part of theory "Main".

   291 
   292 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   293 
   294 * New (co)datatype package:
   295   - Command 'primcorec' is fully implemented.

   302       primrec_new ~> primrec
   303       wrap_free_constructors ~> free_constructors
   304     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   305   - The generated constants "xxx_case" and "xxx_rec" have been renamed
   306     "case_xxx" and "rec_xxx" (e.g., "prod_case" ~> "case_prod").
   307     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   308   - The constant "xxx_(un)fold" and related theorems are no longer
   309     generated.  Use "xxx_(co)rec" or define "xxx_(un)fold" manually
   310     using "prim(co)rec".
   311     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   312   - No discriminators are generated for nullary constructors by
   313     default, eliminating the need for the odd "=:" syntax.
   314     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   315   - No discriminators or selectors are generated by default by
   316     "datatype_new", unless custom names are specified or the new
   317     "discs_sels" option is passed.
   318     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   319 
   320 * Old datatype package:
   321   - The generated theorems "xxx.cases" and "xxx.recs" have been
   322     renamed "xxx.case" and "xxx.rec" (e.g., "sum.cases" ->
   323     "sum.case").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   324   - The generated constants "xxx_case", "xxx_rec", and "xxx_size" have
   325     been renamed "case_xxx", "rec_xxx", and "size_xxx" (e.g.,
   326     "prod_case" ~> "case_prod").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   327 
   328 * The types "'a list" and "'a option", their set and map functions,
   329   their relators, and their selectors are now produced using the new
   330   BNF-based datatype package.
   331 
   332   Renamed constants:
   333     Option.set ~> set_option

   439 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   440 
   441 * New internal SAT solver "cdclite" that produces models and proof
   442 traces.  This solver replaces the internal SAT solvers "enumerate" and
   443 "dpll".  Applications that explicitly used one of these two SAT
   444 solvers should use "cdclite" instead. In addition, "cdclite" is now
   445 the default SAT solver for the "sat" and "satx" proof methods and
   446 corresponding tactics; the old default can be restored using "declare
   447 [[sat_solver = zchaff_with_proofs]]".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   448 
   449 * SMT module: A new version of the SMT module, temporarily called
   450 "SMT2", uses SMT-LIB 2 and supports recent versions of Z3 (e.g.,
   451 4.3). The new proof method is called "smt2". CVC3 and CVC4 are also
   452 supported as oracles. Yices is no longer supported, because no version
   453 of the solver can handle both SMT-LIB 2 and quantifiers.
   454 
   455 * Sledgehammer:
   456   - Z3 can now produce Isar proofs.
   457   - MaSh overhaul:
   458     . New SML-based learning engines eliminate the dependency on
   459       Python and increase performance and reliability.
   460     . MaSh and MeSh are now used by default together with the
   461       traditional MePo (Meng-Paulson) relevance filter. To disable
   462       MaSh, set the "MaSh" system option in Isabelle/jEdit Plugin
   463       Options / Isabelle / General to "none".
   464   - New option:
   465       smt_proofs
   466   - Renamed options:

   472 * Metis: Removed legacy proof method 'metisFT'. Use 'metis
   473 (full_types)' instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
   474 
   475 * Try0: Added 'algebra' and 'meson' to the set of proof methods.
   476 
   477 * Command renaming: enriched_type ~> functor. INCOMPATIBILITY.
   478 
   479 * The symbol "\<newline>" may be used within char or string literals
   480 to represent (Char Nibble0 NibbleA), i.e. ASCII newline.
   481 
   482 * Activation of Z3 now works via "z3_non_commercial" system option
   483 (without requiring restart), instead of former settings variable
   484 "Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL".  The option can be edited in Isabelle/jEdit menu
   485 Plugin Options / Isabelle / General.
   486

   489 
   490 * "declare [[code drop: ...]]" drops all code equations associated
   491 with the given constants.

   571 
   572 * Abolished neg_numeral.
   573   - Canonical representation for minus one is "- 1".
   574   - Canonical representation for other negative numbers is "- (numeral _)".
   575   - When devising rule sets for number calculation, consider the
   576     following canonical cases: 0, 1, numeral _, - 1, - numeral _.
   577   - HOLogic.dest_number also recognizes numerals in non-canonical forms
   578     like "numeral One", "- numeral One", "- 0" and even "- ... - _".
   579   - Syntax for negative numerals is mere input syntax.

   607 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   608 
   609 To restore proofs, the following patterns are helpful:
   610 
   611 a) Arbitrary failing proof not involving "diff_def":
   612 Consider simplification with algebra_simps or field_simps.
   613 
   614 b) Lifting rules from addition to subtraction:
   615 Try with "using <rule for addition> of [... "- _" ...]" by simp".
   616 
   617 c) Simplification with "diff_def": just drop "diff_def".
   618 Consider simplification with algebra_simps or field_simps;
   619 or the brute way with
   620 "simp add: diff_conv_add_uminus del: add_uminus_conv_diff".
   621 
   622 * SUP and INF generalized to conditionally_complete_lattice.
   623 
   624 * Theory Lubs moved HOL image to HOL-Library. It is replaced by
   625 Conditionally_Complete_Lattices.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   626 
   627 * Introduce bdd_above and bdd_below in theory
   628 Conditionally_Complete_Lattices, use them instead of explicitly
   629 stating boundedness of sets.
   630 
   631 * ccpo.admissible quantifies only over non-empty chains to allow more
   632 syntax-directed proof rules; the case of the empty chain shows up as
   633 additional case in fixpoint induction proofs.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   634 
   635 * Removed and renamed theorems in Series:

   659 
   660 * Replace (F)DERIV syntax by has_derivative:

   662 
   663   - "(f has_field_derivative f') (at x within s)" replaces "DERIV f x : s : f'"
   664 
   665   - "f differentiable at x within s" replaces "_ differentiable _ in _" syntax
   666 
   667   - removed constant isDiff
   668 
   669   - "DERIV f x : f'" and "FDERIV f x : f'" syntax is only available as
   670     input syntax.
   671 
   672   - "DERIV f x : s : f'" and "FDERIV f x : s : f'" syntax removed.
   673 
   674   - Renamed FDERIV_... lemmas to has_derivative_...
   675 
   676   - renamed deriv (the syntax constant used for "DERIV _ _ :> _") to DERIV
   677 
   678   - removed DERIV_intros, has_derivative_eq_intros
   679 
   680   - introduced derivative_intros and deriative_eq_intros which
   681     includes now rules for DERIV, has_derivative and
   682     has_vector_derivative.

   693 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   694 
   695 * Include more theorems in continuous_intros. Remove the
   696 continuous_on_intros, isCont_intros collections, these facts are now
   697 in continuous_intros.
   698 
   699 * Theorems about complex numbers are now stated only using Re and Im,
   700 the Complex constructor is not used anymore. It is possible to use
   701 primcorec to defined the behaviour of a complex-valued function.
   702 
   703 Removed theorems about the Complex constructor from the simpset, they
   704 are available as the lemma collection legacy_Complex_simps. This
   705 especially removes
   706 
   707     i_complex_of_real: "ii * complex_of_real r = Complex 0 r".
   708 
   709 Instead the reverse direction is supported with
   710     Complex_eq: "Complex a b = a + \<i> * b"
   711 
   712 Moved csqrt from Fundamental_Algebra_Theorem to Complex.

   742 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   743 
   744 * Removed solvers remote_cvc3 and remote_z3. Use cvc3 and z3 instead.
   745 
   746 * Nitpick:
   747   - Fixed soundness bug whereby mutually recursive datatypes could
   748     take infinite values.
   749   - Fixed soundness bug with low-level number functions such as
   750     "Abs_Integ" and "Rep_Integ".
   751   - Removed "std" option.
   752   - Renamed "show_datatypes" to "show_types" and "hide_datatypes" to
   753     "hide_types".
   754 
   755 * HOL-Multivariate_Analysis:
   756   - Type class ordered_real_vector for ordered vector spaces.
   757   - New theory Complex_Basic_Analysis defining complex derivatives,
   758     holomorphic functions, etc., ported from HOL Light's canal.ml.
   759   - Changed order of ordered_euclidean_space to be compatible with
   760     pointwise ordering on products. Therefore instance of
   761     conditionally_complete_lattice and ordered_real_vector.
   762     INCOMPATIBILITY: use box instead of greaterThanLessThan or
   763     explicit set-comprehensions with eucl_less for other (half-)open
   764     intervals.
   765   - removed dependencies on type class ordered_euclidean_space with
   766     introduction of "cbox" on euclidean_space

   880 
   881     lebesgue_integral_nonneg
   882     lebesgue_integral_uminus
   883     lebesgue_integral_cmult
   884     lebesgue_integral_multc
   885     lebesgue_integral_cmult_nonneg
   886     integral_cmul_indicator
   887     integral_real
   888 
   889   - Renamed positive_integral to nn_integral:
   890 
   891     . Renamed all lemmas "*positive_integral*" to *nn_integral*"
   892       positive_integral_positive ~> nn_integral_nonneg
   893 
   894     . Renamed abbreviation integral\<^sup>P to integral\<^sup>N.
   895 
   896   - Formalized properties about exponentially, Erlang, and normal
   897     distributed random variables.
   898 
   899 * Removed theory src/HOL/Library/Kleene_Algebra.thy; it is subsumed by
   900 session Kleene_Algebra in AFP.
   901 
   902 
   903 *** Scala ***
   904 
   905 * The signature and semantics of Document.Snapshot.cumulate_markup /
   906 select_markup have been clarified.  Markup is now traversed in the
   907 order of reports given by the prover: later markup is usually more
   908 specific and may override results accumulated so far.  The elements
   909 guard is mandatory and checked precisely.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
   910 
   911 * Substantial reworking of internal PIDE protocol communication
   912 channels.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   913 
   914 
   915 *** ML ***
   916 
   917 * Moved ML_Compiler.exn_trace and other operations on exceptions to
   918 structure Runtime.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   919 
   920 * Discontinued old Toplevel.debug in favour of system option
   921 "ML_exception_trace", which may be also declared within the context
   922 via "declare [[ML_exception_trace = true]]".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   923 
   924 * Renamed configuration option "ML_trace" to "ML_source_trace". Minor
   925 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   926 
   927 * Configuration option "ML_print_depth" controls the pretty-printing
   928 depth of the ML compiler within the context.  The old print_depth in
   929 ML is still available as default_print_depth, but rarely used.  Minor
   930 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   931 
   932 * Proper context discipline for read_instantiate and instantiate_tac:
   933 variables that are meant to become schematic need to be given as
   934 fixed, and are generalized by the explicit context of local variables.
   935 This corresponds to Isar attributes "where" and "of" with 'for'
   936 declaration.  INCOMPATIBILITY, also due to potential change of indices
   937 of schematic variables.
   938 
   939 * Toplevel function "use" refers to raw ML bootstrap environment,
   940 without Isar context nor antiquotations.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
   941 Note that 'ML_file' is the canonical command to load ML files into the
   942 formal context.
   943 
   944 * Proper context for basic Simplifier operations: rewrite_rule,
   945 rewrite_goals_rule, rewrite_goals_tac etc. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to
   946 pass runtime Proof.context (and ensure that the simplified entity
   947 actually belongs to it).
   948 
   949 * Subtle change of semantics of Thm.eq_thm: theory stamps are not
   950 compared (according to Thm.thm_ord), but assumed to be covered by the
   951 current background theory.  Thus equivalent data produced in different
   952 branches of the theory graph usually coincides (e.g. relevant for
   953 theory merge).  Note that the softer Thm.eq_thm_prop is often more
   954 appropriate than Thm.eq_thm.
   955 
   956 * Simplified programming interface to define ML antiquotations, see
   957 structure ML_Antiquotation.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   958 
   959 * ML antiquotation @{here} refers to its source position, which is
   960 occasionally useful for experimentation and diagnostic purposes.
   961 
   962 * ML antiquotation @{path} produces a Path.T value, similarly to
   963 Path.explode, but with compile-time check against the file-system and
   964 some PIDE markup.  Note that unlike theory source, ML does not have a
   965 well-defined master directory, so an absolute symbolic path
   966 specification is usually required, e.g. "~~/src/HOL".
   967 
   968 * ML antiquotation @{print} inlines a function to print an arbitrary
   969 ML value, which is occasionally useful for diagnostic or demonstration
   970 purposes.
   971 
   972 
   973 *** System ***
   974 
   975 * Proof General with its traditional helper scripts is now an optional
   976 Isabelle component, e.g. ProofGeneral-4.2-2 from the Isabelle
   977 component repository http://isabelle.in.tum.de/components/.  See also
   978 the "system" manual for general explanations about add-on components,
   979 notably those that are not bundled with the normal release.
   980 
   981 * The raw Isabelle process executable has been renamed from
   982 "isabelle-process" to "isabelle_process", which conforms to common
   983 shell naming conventions, and allows to define a shell function within
   984 the Isabelle environment to avoid dynamic path lookup.  Rare
   985 incompatibility for old tools that do not use the $ISABELLE_PROCESS
   986 settings variable yet.
   987 
   988 * Former "isabelle tty" has been superseded by "isabelle console",
   989 with implicit build like "isabelle jedit", and without the mostly
   990 obsolete Isar TTY loop.
   991 
   992 * Simplified "isabelle display" tool.  Settings variables DVI_VIEWER
   993 and PDF_VIEWER now refer to the actual programs, not shell
   994 command-lines.  Discontinued option -c: invocation may be asynchronous
   995 via desktop environment, without any special precautions.  Potential
   996 INCOMPATIBILITY with ambitious private settings.
   997 
   998 * Removed obsolete "isabelle unsymbolize".  Note that the usual format
   999 for email communication is the Unicode rendering of Isabelle symbols,
  1000 as produced by Isabelle/jEdit, for example.
  1001 
  1002 * Removed obsolete tool "wwwfind". Similar functionality may be
  1003 integrated into Isabelle/jEdit eventually.
  1004 
  1005 * Improved 'display_drafts' concerning desktop integration and
  1006 repeated invocation in PIDE front-end: re-use single file
  1007 $ISABELLE_HOME_USER/tmp/drafts.pdf and corresponding views.
  1008 
  1009 * Windows: support for regular TeX installation (e.g. MiKTeX) instead
  1010 of TeX Live from Cygwin.
  1011 
  1012 * Session ROOT specifications require explicit 'document_files' for
  1013 robust dependencies on LaTeX sources.  Only these explicitly given
  1014 files are copied to the document output directory, before document
  1015 processing is started.
  1016 
  1017 
  1018 
  1019 New in Isabelle2013-2 (December 2013)
  1020 -------------------------------------
  1021 
  1022 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
  1023 
  1024 * More robust editing of running commands with internal forks,
  1025 e.g. non-terminating 'by' steps.
  1026 
  1027 * More relaxed Sledgehammer panel: avoid repeated application of query
  1028 after edits surrounding the command location.
  1029 
  1030 * More status information about commands that are interrupted
  1031 accidentally (via physical event or Poly/ML runtime system signal,
  1032 e.g. out-of-memory).
  1033 
  1034 
  1035 *** System ***
  1036 
  1037 * More robust termination of external processes managed by
  1038 Isabelle/ML: support cancellation of tasks within the range of
  1039 milliseconds, as required for PIDE document editing with automatically
  1040 tried tools (e.g. Sledgehammer).
  1041 
  1042 * Reactivated Isabelle/Scala kill command for external processes on
  1043 Mac OS X, which was accidentally broken in Isabelle2013-1 due to a
  1044 workaround for some Debian/Ubuntu Linux versions from 2013.
  1045 
  1046 
  1047 
  1048 New in Isabelle2013-1 (November 2013)
  1049 -------------------------------------
  1050 
  1051 *** General ***
  1052 
  1053 * Discontinued obsolete 'uses' within theory header.  Note that
  1054 commands like 'ML_file' work without separate declaration of file
  1055 dependencies.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1056 
  1057 * Discontinued redundant 'use' command, which was superseded by
  1058 'ML_file' in Isabelle2013.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1059 
  1060 * Simplified subscripts within identifiers, using plain \<^sub>
  1061 instead of the second copy \<^isub> and \<^isup>.  Superscripts are
  1062 only for literal tokens within notation; explicit mixfix annotations
  1063 for consts or fixed variables may be used as fall-back for unusual
  1064 names.  Obsolete \<twosuperior> has been expanded to \<^sup>2 in
  1065 Isabelle/HOL.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "isabelle update_sub_sup" to
  1066 standardize symbols as a starting point for further manual cleanup.
  1067 The ML reference variable "legacy_isub_isup" may be set as temporary
  1068 workaround, to make the prover accept a subset of the old identifier
  1069 syntax.
  1070 
  1071 * Document antiquotations: term style "isub" has been renamed to
  1072 "sub".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1073 
  1074 * Uniform management of "quick_and_dirty" as system option (see also
  1075 "isabelle options"), configuration option within the context (see also
  1076 Config.get in Isabelle/ML), and attribute in Isabelle/Isar.  Minor
  1077 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use more official Isabelle means to access
  1078 quick_and_dirty, instead of historical poking into mutable reference.
  1079 
  1080 * Renamed command 'print_configs' to 'print_options'.  Minor
  1081 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1082 
  1083 * Proper diagnostic command 'print_state'.  Old 'pr' (with its
  1084 implicit change of some global references) is retained for now as
  1085 control command, e.g. for ProofGeneral 3.7.x.
  1086 
  1087 * Discontinued 'print_drafts' command with its old-fashioned PS output
  1088 and Unix command-line print spooling.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: use
  1089 'display_drafts' instead and print via the regular document viewer.
  1090 
  1091 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual,
  1092 eliminated old "ref" manual.
  1093 
  1094 
  1095 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
  1096 
  1097 * New manual "jedit" for Isabelle/jEdit, see isabelle doc or
  1098 Documentation panel.
  1099 
  1100 * Dockable window "Documentation" provides access to Isabelle
  1101 documentation.
  1102 
  1103 * Dockable window "Find" provides query operations for formal entities
  1104 (GUI front-end to 'find_theorems' command).
  1105 
  1106 * Dockable window "Sledgehammer" manages asynchronous / parallel
  1107 sledgehammer runs over existing document sources, independently of
  1108 normal editing and checking process.
  1109 
  1110 * Dockable window "Timing" provides an overview of relevant command
  1111 timing information, depending on option jedit_timing_threshold.  The
  1112 same timing information is shown in the extended tooltip of the
  1113 command keyword, when hovering the mouse over it while the CONTROL or
  1114 COMMAND modifier is pressed.
  1115 
  1116 * Improved dockable window "Theories": Continuous checking of proof
  1117 document (visible and required parts) may be controlled explicitly,
  1118 using check box or shortcut "C+e ENTER".  Individual theory nodes may
  1119 be marked explicitly as required and checked in full, using check box
  1120 or shortcut "C+e SPACE".
  1121 
  1122 * Improved completion mechanism, which is now managed by the
  1123 Isabelle/jEdit plugin instead of SideKick.  Refined table of Isabelle
  1124 symbol abbreviations (see $ISABELLE_HOME/etc/symbols).
  1125 
  1126 * Standard jEdit keyboard shortcut C+b complete-word is remapped to
  1127 isabelle.complete for explicit completion in Isabelle sources.
  1128 INCOMPATIBILITY wrt. jEdit defaults, may have to invent new shortcuts
  1129 to resolve conflict.
  1130 
  1131 * Improved support of various "minor modes" for Isabelle NEWS,
  1132 options, session ROOT etc., with completion and SideKick tree view.
  1133 
  1134 * Strictly monotonic document update, without premature cancellation of
  1135 running transactions that are still needed: avoid reset/restart of
  1136 such command executions while editing.
  1137 
  1138 * Support for asynchronous print functions, as overlay to existing
  1139 document content.
  1140 
  1141 * Support for automatic tools in HOL, which try to prove or disprove
  1142 toplevel theorem statements.
  1143 
  1144 * Action isabelle.reset-font-size resets main text area font size
  1145 according to Isabelle/Scala plugin option "jedit_font_reset_size" (see
  1146 also "Plugin Options / Isabelle / General").  It can be bound to some
  1147 keyboard shortcut by the user (e.g. C+0 and/or C+NUMPAD0).
  1148 
  1149 * File specifications in jEdit (e.g. file browser) may refer to
  1150 $ISABELLE_HOME and $ISABELLE_HOME_USER on all platforms.  Discontinued
  1151 obsolete $ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS variable.
  1152 
  1153 * Improved support for Linux look-and-feel "GTK+", see also "Utilities
  1154 / Global Options / Appearance".
  1155 
  1156 * Improved support of native Mac OS X functionality via "MacOSX"
  1157 plugin, which is now enabled by default.
  1158 
  1159 
  1160 *** Pure ***
  1161 
  1162 * Commands 'interpretation' and 'sublocale' are now target-sensitive.
  1163 In particular, 'interpretation' allows for non-persistent
  1164 interpretation within "context ... begin ... end" blocks offering a
  1165 light-weight alternative to 'sublocale'.  See "isar-ref" manual for
  1166 details.
  1167 
  1168 * Improved locales diagnostic command 'print_dependencies'.
  1169 
  1170 * Discontinued obsolete 'axioms' command, which has been marked as
  1171 legacy since Isabelle2009-2.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use 'axiomatization'
  1172 instead, while observing its uniform scope for polymorphism.
  1173 
  1174 * Discontinued empty name bindings in 'axiomatization'.
  1175 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1176 
  1177 * System option "proofs" has been discontinued.  Instead the global
  1178 state of Proofterm.proofs is persistently compiled into logic images
  1179 as required, notably HOL-Proofs.  Users no longer need to change
  1180 Proofterm.proofs dynamically.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1181 
  1182 * Syntax translation functions (print_translation etc.) always depend
  1183 on Proof.context.  Discontinued former "(advanced)" option -- this is
  1184 now the default.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1185 
  1186 * Former global reference trace_unify_fail is now available as
  1187 configuration option "unify_trace_failure" (global context only).
  1188 
  1189 * SELECT_GOAL now retains the syntactic context of the overall goal
  1190 state (schematic variables etc.).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare
  1191 situations.
  1192 
  1193 
  1194 *** HOL ***
  1195 
  1196 * Stronger precedence of syntax for big intersection and union on
  1197 sets, in accordance with corresponding lattice operations.
  1198 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1199 
  1200 * Notation "{p:A. P}" now allows tuple patterns as well.
  1201 
  1202 * Nested case expressions are now translated in a separate check phase
  1203 rather than during parsing. The data for case combinators is separated
  1204 from the datatype package. The declaration attribute
  1205 "case_translation" can be used to register new case combinators:
  1206 
  1207   declare [[case_translation case_combinator constructor1 ... constructorN]]
  1208 
  1209 * Code generator:
  1210   - 'code_printing' unifies 'code_const' / 'code_type' / 'code_class' /
  1211     'code_instance'.
  1212   - 'code_identifier' declares name hints for arbitrary identifiers in
  1213     generated code, subsuming 'code_modulename'.
  1214 
  1215 See the isar-ref manual for syntax diagrams, and the HOL theories for
  1216 examples.
  1217 
  1218 * Attibute 'code': 'code' now declares concrete and abstract code
  1219 equations uniformly.  Use explicit 'code equation' and 'code abstract'
  1220 to distinguish both when desired.
  1221 
  1222 * Discontinued theories Code_Integer and Efficient_Nat by a more
  1223 fine-grain stack of theories Code_Target_Int, Code_Binary_Nat,
  1224 Code_Target_Nat and Code_Target_Numeral.  See the tutorial on code
  1225 generation for details.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1226 
  1227 * Numeric types are mapped by default to target language numerals:
  1228 natural (replaces former code_numeral) and integer (replaces former
  1229 code_int).  Conversions are available as integer_of_natural /
  1230 natural_of_integer / integer_of_nat / nat_of_integer (in HOL) and
  1231 Code_Numeral.integer_of_natural / Code_Numeral.natural_of_integer (in
  1232 ML).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1233 
  1234 * Function package: For mutually recursive functions f and g, separate
  1235 cases rules f.cases and g.cases are generated instead of unusable
  1236 f_g.cases which exposed internal sum types. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
  1237 in the case that the unusable rule was used nevertheless.
  1238 
  1239 * Function package: For each function f, new rules f.elims are
  1240 generated, which eliminate equalities of the form "f x = t".
  1241 
  1242 * New command 'fun_cases' derives ad-hoc elimination rules for
  1243 function equations as simplified instances of f.elims, analogous to
  1244 inductive_cases.  See ~~/src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy for some examples.
  1245 
  1246 * Lifting:
  1247   - parametrized correspondence relations are now supported:
  1248     + parametricity theorems for the raw term can be specified in
  1249       the command lift_definition, which allow us to generate stronger
  1250       transfer rules
  1251     + setup_lifting generates stronger transfer rules if parametric
  1252       correspondence relation can be generated
  1253     + various new properties of the relator must be specified to support
  1254       parametricity
  1255     + parametricity theorem for the Quotient relation can be specified
  1256   - setup_lifting generates domain rules for the Transfer package
  1257   - stronger reflexivity prover of respectfulness theorems for type
  1258     copies
  1259   - ===> and --> are now local. The symbols can be introduced
  1260     by interpreting the locale lifting_syntax (typically in an
  1261     anonymous context)
  1262   - Lifting/Transfer relevant parts of Library/Quotient_* are now in
  1263     Main. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  1264   - new commands for restoring and deleting Lifting/Transfer context:
  1265     lifting_forget, lifting_update
  1266   - the command print_quotmaps was renamed to print_quot_maps.
  1267     INCOMPATIBILITY
  1268 
  1269 * Transfer:
  1270   - better support for domains in Transfer: replace Domainp T
  1271     by the actual invariant in a transferred goal
  1272   - transfer rules can have as assumptions other transfer rules
  1273   - Experimental support for transferring from the raw level to the
  1274     abstract level: Transfer.transferred attribute
  1275   - Attribute version of the transfer method: untransferred attribute
  1276 
  1277 * Reification and reflection:
  1278   - Reification is now directly available in HOL-Main in structure
  1279     "Reification".
  1280   - Reflection now handles multiple lists with variables also.
  1281   - The whole reflection stack has been decomposed into conversions.
  1282 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1283 
  1284 * Revised devices for recursive definitions over finite sets:
  1285   - Only one fundamental fold combinator on finite set remains:
  1286     Finite_Set.fold :: ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  1287     This is now identity on infinite sets.
  1288   - Locales ("mini packages") for fundamental definitions with
  1289     Finite_Set.fold: folding, folding_idem.
  1290   - Locales comm_monoid_set, semilattice_order_set and
  1291     semilattice_neutr_order_set for big operators on sets.
  1292     See theory Big_Operators for canonical examples.
  1293     Note that foundational constants comm_monoid_set.F and
  1294     semilattice_set.F correspond to former combinators fold_image
  1295     and fold1 respectively.  These are now gone.  You may use
  1296     those foundational constants as substitutes, but it is
  1297     preferable to interpret the above locales accordingly.
  1298   - Dropped class ab_semigroup_idem_mult (special case of lattice,
  1299     no longer needed in connection with Finite_Set.fold etc.)
  1300   - Fact renames:
  1301       card.union_inter ~> card_Un_Int [symmetric]
  1302       card.union_disjoint ~> card_Un_disjoint
  1303 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1304 
  1305 * Locale hierarchy for abstract orderings and (semi)lattices.
  1306 
  1307 * Complete_Partial_Order.admissible is defined outside the type class
  1308 ccpo, but with mandatory prefix ccpo. Admissibility theorems lose the
  1309 class predicate assumption or sort constraint when possible.
  1310 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1311 
  1312 * Introduce type class "conditionally_complete_lattice": Like a
  1313 complete lattice but does not assume the existence of the top and
  1314 bottom elements.  Allows to generalize some lemmas about reals and
  1315 extended reals.  Removed SupInf and replaced it by the instantiation
  1316 of conditionally_complete_lattice for real. Renamed lemmas about
  1317 conditionally-complete lattice from Sup_... to cSup_... and from
  1318 Inf_...  to cInf_... to avoid hidding of similar complete lattice
  1319 lemmas.
  1320 
  1321 * Introduce type class linear_continuum as combination of
  1322 conditionally-complete lattices and inner dense linorders which have
  1323 more than one element.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1324 
  1325 * Introduced type classes order_top and order_bot. The old classes top
  1326 and bot only contain the syntax without assumptions.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  1327 Rename bot -> order_bot, top -> order_top
  1328 
  1329 * Introduce type classes "no_top" and "no_bot" for orderings without
  1330 top and bottom elements.
  1331 
  1332 * Split dense_linorder into inner_dense_order and no_top, no_bot.
  1333 
  1334 * Complex_Main: Unify and move various concepts from
  1335 HOL-Multivariate_Analysis to HOL-Complex_Main.
  1336 
  1337  - Introduce type class (lin)order_topology and
  1338    linear_continuum_topology.  Allows to generalize theorems about
  1339    limits and order.  Instances are reals and extended reals.
  1340 
  1341  - continuous and continuos_on from Multivariate_Analysis:
  1342    "continuous" is the continuity of a function at a filter.  "isCont"
  1343    is now an abbrevitation: "isCont x f == continuous (at _) f".
  1344 
  1345    Generalized continuity lemmas from isCont to continuous on an
  1346    arbitrary filter.
  1347 
  1348  - compact from Multivariate_Analysis. Use Bolzano's lemma to prove
  1349    compactness of closed intervals on reals. Continuous functions
  1350    attain infimum and supremum on compact sets. The inverse of a
  1351    continuous function is continuous, when the function is continuous
  1352    on a compact set.
  1353 
  1354  - connected from Multivariate_Analysis. Use it to prove the
  1355    intermediate value theorem. Show connectedness of intervals on
  1356    linear_continuum_topology).
  1357 
  1358  - first_countable_topology from Multivariate_Analysis. Is used to
  1359    show equivalence of properties on the neighbourhood filter of x and
  1360    on all sequences converging to x.
  1361 
  1362  - FDERIV: Definition of has_derivative moved to Deriv.thy. Moved
  1363    theorems from Library/FDERIV.thy to Deriv.thy and base the
  1364    definition of DERIV on FDERIV. Add variants of DERIV and FDERIV
  1365    which are restricted to sets, i.e. to represent derivatives from
  1366    left or right.
  1367 
  1368  - Removed the within-filter. It is replaced by the principal filter:
  1369 
  1370      F within X = inf F (principal X)
  1371 
  1372  - Introduce "at x within U" as a single constant, "at x" is now an
  1373    abbreviation for "at x within UNIV"
  1374 
  1375  - Introduce named theorem collections tendsto_intros,
  1376    continuous_intros, continuous_on_intros and FDERIV_intros. Theorems
  1377    in tendsto_intros (or FDERIV_intros) are also available as
  1378    tendsto_eq_intros (or FDERIV_eq_intros) where the right-hand side
  1379    is replaced by a congruence rule. This allows to apply them as
  1380    intro rules and then proving equivalence by the simplifier.
  1381 
  1382  - Restructured theories in HOL-Complex_Main:
  1383 
  1384    + Moved RealDef and RComplete into Real
  1385 
  1386    + Introduced Topological_Spaces and moved theorems about
  1387      topological spaces, filters, limits and continuity to it
  1388 
  1389    + Renamed RealVector to Real_Vector_Spaces
  1390 
  1391    + Split Lim, SEQ, Series into Topological_Spaces,
  1392      Real_Vector_Spaces, and Limits
  1393 
  1394    + Moved Ln and Log to Transcendental
  1395 
  1396    + Moved theorems about continuity from Deriv to Topological_Spaces
  1397 
  1398  - Remove various auxiliary lemmas.
  1399 
  1400 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1401 
  1402 * Nitpick:
  1403   - Added option "spy".
  1404   - Reduce incidence of "too high arity" errors.
  1405 
  1406 * Sledgehammer:
  1407   - Renamed option:
  1408       isar_shrink ~> isar_compress
  1409     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1410   - Added options "isar_try0", "spy".
  1411   - Better support for "isar_proofs".
  1412   - MaSh has been fined-tuned and now runs as a local server.
  1413 
  1414 * Improved support for ad hoc overloading of constants (see also
  1415 isar-ref manual and ~~/src/HOL/ex/Adhoc_Overloading_Examples.thy).
  1416 
  1417 * Library/Polynomial.thy:
  1418   - Use lifting for primitive definitions.
  1419   - Explicit conversions from and to lists of coefficients, used for
  1420     generated code.
  1421   - Replaced recursion operator poly_rec by fold_coeffs.
  1422   - Prefer pre-existing gcd operation for gcd.
  1423   - Fact renames:
  1424     poly_eq_iff ~> poly_eq_poly_eq_iff
  1425     poly_ext ~> poly_eqI
  1426     expand_poly_eq ~> poly_eq_iff
  1427 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
  1428 
  1429 * New Library/Simps_Case_Conv.thy: Provides commands simps_of_case and
  1430 case_of_simps to convert function definitions between a list of
  1431 equations with patterns on the lhs and a single equation with case
  1432 expressions on the rhs. See also Ex/Simps_Case_Conv_Examples.thy.
  1433 
  1434 * New Library/FSet.thy: type of finite sets defined as a subtype of
  1435 sets defined by Lifting/Transfer.
  1436 
  1437 * Discontinued theory src/HOL/Library/Eval_Witness.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1438 
  1439 * Consolidation of library theories on product orders:
  1440 
  1441     Product_Lattice ~> Product_Order -- pointwise order on products
  1442     Product_ord ~> Product_Lexorder -- lexicographic order on products
  1443 
  1444 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1445 
  1446 * Imperative-HOL: The MREC combinator is considered legacy and no
  1447 longer included by default. INCOMPATIBILITY, use partial_function
  1448 instead, or import theory Legacy_Mrec as a fallback.
  1449 
  1450 * HOL-Algebra: Discontinued theories ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/abstract and
  1451 ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/poly.  Existing theories should be based on
  1452 ~~/src/HOL/Library/Polynomial instead.  The latter provides
  1453 integration with HOL's type classes for rings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1454 
  1455 * HOL-BNF:
  1456   - Various improvements to BNF-based (co)datatype package, including
  1457     new commands "primrec_new", "primcorec", and
  1458     "datatype_new_compat", as well as documentation. See
  1459     "datatypes.pdf" for details.
  1460   - New "coinduction" method to avoid some boilerplate (compared to
  1461     coinduct).
  1462   - Renamed keywords:
  1463     data ~> datatype_new
  1464     codata ~> codatatype
  1465     bnf_def ~> bnf
  1466   - Renamed many generated theorems, including
  1467     discs ~> disc
  1468     map_comp' ~> map_comp
  1469     map_id' ~> map_id
  1470     sels ~> sel
  1471     set_map' ~> set_map
  1472     sets ~> set
  1473 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
  1474 
  1475 
  1476 *** ML ***
  1477 
  1478 * Spec_Check is a Quickcheck tool for Isabelle/ML.  The ML function
  1479 "check_property" allows to check specifications of the form "ALL x y
  1480 z. prop x y z".  See also ~~/src/Tools/Spec_Check/ with its
  1481 Examples.thy in particular.
  1482 
  1483 * Improved printing of exception trace in Poly/ML 5.5.1, with regular
  1484 tracing output in the command transaction context instead of physical
  1485 stdout.  See also Toplevel.debug, Toplevel.debugging and
  1486 ML_Compiler.exn_trace.
  1487 
  1488 * ML type "theory" is now immutable, without any special treatment of
  1489 drafts or linear updates (which could lead to "stale theory" errors in
  1490 the past).  Discontinued obsolete operations like Theory.copy,
  1491 Theory.checkpoint, and the auxiliary type theory_ref.  Minor
  1492 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1493 
  1494 * More uniform naming of goal functions for skipped proofs:
  1495 
  1496     Skip_Proof.prove  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry
  1497     Skip_Proof.prove_global  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry_global
  1498 
  1499 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1500 
  1501 * Simplifier tactics and tools use proper Proof.context instead of
  1502 historic type simpset.  Old-style declarations like addsimps,
  1503 addsimprocs etc. operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type simpset
  1504 retains its use as snapshot of the main Simplifier context, using
  1505 simpset_of and put_simpset on Proof.context.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- port
  1506 old tools by making them depend on (ctxt : Proof.context) instead of
  1507 (ss : simpset), then turn (simpset_of ctxt) into ctxt.
  1508 
  1509 * Modifiers for classical wrappers (e.g. addWrapper, delWrapper)
  1510 operate on Proof.context instead of claset, for uniformity with addIs,
  1511 addEs, addDs etc. Note that claset_of and put_claset allow to manage
  1512 clasets separately from the context.
  1513 
  1514 * Discontinued obsolete ML antiquotations @{claset} and @{simpset}.
  1515 INCOMPATIBILITY, use @{context} instead.
  1516 
  1517 * Antiquotation @{theory_context A} is similar to @{theory A}, but
  1518 presents the result as initial Proof.context.
  1519 
  1520 
  1521 *** System ***
  1522 
  1523 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle usedir, mkdir, make -- superseded by
  1524 "isabelle build" in Isabelle2013.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1525 
  1526 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle-process options -f and -u (former
  1527 administrative aliases of option -e).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1528 
  1529 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle print tool, and PRINT_COMMAND
  1530 settings variable.
  1531 
  1532 * Discontinued ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT settings variable and historic
  1533 document formats: dvi.gz, ps, ps.gz -- the default document format is
  1534 always pdf.
  1535 
  1536 * Isabelle settings variable ISABELLE_BUILD_JAVA_OPTIONS allows to
  1537 specify global resources of the JVM process run by isabelle build.
  1538 
  1539 * Toplevel executable $ISABELLE_HOME/bin/isabelle_scala_script allows
  1540 to run Isabelle/Scala source files as standalone programs.
  1541 
  1542 * Improved "isabelle keywords" tool (for old-style ProofGeneral
  1543 keyword tables): use Isabelle/Scala operations, which inspect outer
  1544 syntax without requiring to build sessions first.
  1545 
  1546 * Sessions may be organized via 'chapter' specifications in the ROOT
  1547 file, which determines a two-level hierarchy of browser info.  The old
  1548 tree-like organization via implicit sub-session relation (with its
  1549 tendency towards erratic fluctuation of URLs) has been discontinued.
  1550 The default chapter is called "Unsorted".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  1551 for HTML presentation of theories.
  1552 
  1553 
  1554 
  1555 New in Isabelle2013 (February 2013)
  1556 -----------------------------------
  1557 
  1558 *** General ***
  1559 
  1560 * Theorem status about oracles and unfinished/failed future proofs is
  1561 no longer printed by default, since it is incompatible with
  1562 incremental / parallel checking of the persistent document model.  ML
  1563 function Thm.peek_status may be used to inspect a snapshot of the
  1564 ongoing evaluation process.  Note that in batch mode --- notably
  1565 isabelle build --- the system ensures that future proofs of all
  1566 accessible theorems in the theory context are finished (as before).
  1567 
  1568 * Configuration option show_markup controls direct inlining of markup
  1569 into the printed representation of formal entities --- notably type
  1570 and sort constraints.  This enables Prover IDE users to retrieve that
  1571 information via tooltips in the output window, for example.
  1572 
  1573 * Command 'ML_file' evaluates ML text from a file directly within the
  1574 theory, without any predeclaration via 'uses' in the theory header.
  1575 
  1576 * Old command 'use' command and corresponding keyword 'uses' in the
  1577 theory header are legacy features and will be discontinued soon.
  1578 Tools that load their additional source files may imitate the
  1579 'ML_file' implementation, such that the system can take care of
  1580 dependencies properly.
  1581 
  1582 * Discontinued obsolete method fastsimp / tactic fast_simp_tac, which
  1583 is called fastforce / fast_force_tac already since Isabelle2011-1.
  1584 
  1585 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual, reduced
  1586 remaining material in old "ref" manual.
  1587 
  1588 * Improved support for auxiliary contexts that indicate block structure
  1589 for specifications.  Nesting of "context fixes ... context assumes ..."
  1590 and "class ... context ...".
  1591 
  1592 * Attribute "consumes" allows a negative value as well, which is
  1593 interpreted relatively to the total number of premises of the rule in
  1594 the target context.  This form of declaration is stable when exported
  1595 from a nested 'context' with additional assumptions.  It is the
  1596 preferred form for definitional packages, notably cases/rules produced
  1597 in HOL/inductive and HOL/function.
  1598 
  1599 * More informative error messages for Isar proof commands involving
  1600 lazy enumerations (method applications etc.).
  1601 
  1602 * Refined 'help' command to retrieve outer syntax commands according
  1603 to name patterns (with clickable results).
  1604 
  1605 
  1606 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
  1607 
  1608 * Parallel terminal proofs ('by') are enabled by default, likewise
  1609 proofs that are built into packages like 'datatype', 'function'.  This
  1610 allows to "run ahead" checking the theory specifications on the
  1611 surface, while the prover is still crunching on internal
  1612 justifications.  Unfinished / cancelled proofs are restarted as
  1613 required to complete full proof checking eventually.
  1614 
  1615 * Improved output panel with tooltips, hyperlinks etc. based on the
  1616 same Rich_Text_Area as regular Isabelle/jEdit buffers.  Activation of
  1617 tooltips leads to some window that supports the same recursively,
  1618 which can lead to stacks of tooltips as the semantic document content
  1619 is explored.  ESCAPE closes the whole stack, individual windows may be
  1620 closed separately, or detached to become independent jEdit dockables.
  1621 
  1622 * Improved support for commands that produce graph output: the text
  1623 message contains a clickable area to open a new instance of the graph
  1624 browser on demand.
  1625 
  1626 * More robust incremental parsing of outer syntax (partial comments,
  1627 malformed symbols).  Changing the balance of open/close quotes and
  1628 comment delimiters works more conveniently with unfinished situations
  1629 that frequently occur in user interaction.
  1630 
  1631 * More efficient painting and improved reactivity when editing large
  1632 files.  More scalable management of formal document content.
  1633 
  1634 * Smarter handling of tracing messages: prover process pauses after
  1635 certain number of messages per command transaction, with some user
  1636 dialog to stop or continue.  This avoids swamping the front-end with
  1637 potentially infinite message streams.
  1638 
  1639 * More plugin options and preferences, based on Isabelle/Scala.  The
  1640 jEdit plugin option panel provides access to some Isabelle/Scala
  1641 options, including tuning parameters for editor reactivity and color
  1642 schemes.
  1643 
  1644 * Dockable window "Symbols" provides some editing support for Isabelle
  1645 symbols.
  1646 
  1647 * Dockable window "Monitor" shows ML runtime statistics.  Note that
  1648 continuous display of the chart slows down the system.
  1649 
  1650 * Improved editing support for control styles: subscript, superscript,
  1651 bold, reset of style -- operating on single symbols or text
  1652 selections.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C+e DOWN/UP/RIGHT/LEFT.
  1653 
  1654 * Actions isabelle.increase-font-size and isabelle.decrease-font-size
  1655 adjust the main text area font size, and its derivatives for output,
  1656 tooltips etc.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C-PLUS and C-MINUS, which often
  1657 need to be adapted to local keyboard layouts.
  1658 
  1659 * More reactive completion popup by default: use \t (TAB) instead of
  1660 \n (NEWLINE) to minimize intrusion into regular flow of editing.  See
  1661 also "Plugin Options / SideKick / General / Code Completion Options".
  1662 
  1663 * Implicit check and build dialog of the specified logic session
  1664 image.  For example, HOL, HOLCF, HOL-Nominal can be produced on
  1665 demand, without bundling big platform-dependent heap images in the
  1666 Isabelle distribution.
  1667 
  1668 * Uniform Java 7 platform on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows: recent updates
  1669 from Oracle provide better multi-platform experience.  This version is
  1670 now bundled exclusively with Isabelle.
  1671 
  1672 
  1673 *** Pure ***
  1674 
  1675 * Code generation for Haskell: restrict unqualified imports from
  1676 Haskell Prelude to a small set of fundamental operations.
  1677 
  1678 * Command 'export_code': relative file names are interpreted
  1679 relatively to master directory of current theory rather than the
  1680 rather arbitrary current working directory.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1681 
  1682 * Discontinued obsolete attribute "COMP".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
  1683 use regular rule composition via "OF" / "THEN", or explicit proof
  1684 structure instead.  Note that Isabelle/ML provides a variety of
  1685 operators like COMP, INCR_COMP, COMP_INCR, which need to be applied
  1686 with some care where this is really required.
  1687 
  1688 * Command 'typ' supports an additional variant with explicit sort
  1689 constraint, to infer and check the most general type conforming to a
  1690 given sort.  Example (in HOL):
  1691 
  1692   typ "_ * _ * bool * unit" :: finite
  1693 
  1694 * Command 'locale_deps' visualizes all locales and their relations as
  1695 a Hasse diagram.
  1696 
  1697 
  1698 *** HOL ***
  1699 
  1700 * Sledgehammer:
  1701 
  1702   - Added MaSh relevance filter based on machine-learning; see the
  1703     Sledgehammer manual for details.
  1704   - Polished Isar proofs generated with "isar_proofs" option.
  1705   - Rationalized type encodings ("type_enc" option).
  1706   - Renamed "kill_provers" subcommand to "kill_all".
  1707   - Renamed options:
  1708       isar_proof ~> isar_proofs
  1709       isar_shrink_factor ~> isar_shrink
  1710       max_relevant ~> max_facts
  1711       relevance_thresholds ~> fact_thresholds
  1712 
  1713 * Quickcheck: added an optimisation for equality premises.  It is
  1714 switched on by default, and can be switched off by setting the
  1715 configuration quickcheck_optimise_equality to false.
  1716 
  1717 * Quotient: only one quotient can be defined by quotient_type
  1718 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1719 
  1720 * Lifting:
  1721   - generation of an abstraction function equation in lift_definition
  1722   - quot_del attribute
  1723   - renamed no_abs_code -> no_code (INCOMPATIBILITY.)
  1724 
  1725 * Simproc "finite_Collect" rewrites set comprehensions into pointfree
  1726 expressions.
  1727 
  1728 * Preprocessing of the code generator rewrites set comprehensions into
  1729 pointfree expressions.
  1730 
  1731 * The SMT solver Z3 has now by default a restricted set of directly
  1732 supported features. For the full set of features (div/mod, nonlinear
  1733 arithmetic, datatypes/records) with potential proof reconstruction
  1734 failures, enable the configuration option "z3_with_extensions".  Minor
  1735 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1736 
  1737 * Simplified 'typedef' specifications: historical options for implicit
  1738 set definition and alternative name have been discontinued.  The
  1739 former behavior of "typedef (open) t = A" is now the default, but
  1740 written just "typedef t = A".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt theories
  1741 accordingly.
  1742 
  1743 * Removed constant "chars"; prefer "Enum.enum" on type "char"
  1744 directly.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1745 
  1746 * Moved operation product, sublists and n_lists from theory Enum to
  1747 List.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1748 
  1749 * Theorem UN_o generalized to SUP_comp.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1750 
  1751 * Class "comm_monoid_diff" formalises properties of bounded
  1752 subtraction, with natural numbers and multisets as typical instances.
  1753 
  1754 * Added combinator "Option.these" with type "'a option set => 'a set".
  1755 
  1756 * Theory "Transitive_Closure": renamed lemmas
  1757 
  1758   reflcl_tranclp -> reflclp_tranclp
  1759   rtranclp_reflcl -> rtranclp_reflclp
  1760 
  1761 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1762 
  1763 * Theory "Rings": renamed lemmas (in class semiring)
  1764 
  1765   left_distrib ~> distrib_right
  1766   right_distrib ~> distrib_left
  1767 
  1768 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1769 
  1770 * Generalized the definition of limits:
  1771 
  1772   - Introduced the predicate filterlim (LIM x F. f x :> G) which
  1773     expresses that when the input values x converge to F then the
  1774     output f x converges to G.
  1775 
  1776   - Added filters for convergence to positive (at_top) and negative
  1777     infinity (at_bot).
  1778 
  1779   - Moved infinity in the norm (at_infinity) from
  1780     Multivariate_Analysis to Complex_Main.
  1781 
  1782   - Removed real_tendsto_inf, it is superseded by "LIM x F. f x :>
  1783     at_top".
  1784 
  1785 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1786 
  1787 * Theory "Library/Option_ord" provides instantiation of option type to
  1788 lattice type classes.
  1789 
  1790 * Theory "Library/Multiset": renamed
  1791 
  1792     constant fold_mset ~> Multiset.fold
  1793     fact fold_mset_commute ~> fold_mset_comm
  1794 
  1795 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1796 
  1797 * Renamed theory Library/List_Prefix to Library/Sublist, with related
  1798 changes as follows.
  1799 
  1800   - Renamed constants (and related lemmas)
  1801 
  1802       prefix ~> prefixeq
  1803       strict_prefix ~> prefix
  1804 
  1805   - Replaced constant "postfix" by "suffixeq" with swapped argument
  1806     order (i.e., "postfix xs ys" is now "suffixeq ys xs") and dropped
  1807     old infix syntax "xs >>= ys"; use "suffixeq ys xs" instead.
  1808     Renamed lemmas accordingly.
  1809 
  1810   - Added constant "list_hembeq" for homeomorphic embedding on
  1811     lists. Added abbreviation "sublisteq" for special case
  1812     "list_hembeq (op =)".
  1813 
  1814   - Theory Library/Sublist no longer provides "order" and "bot" type
  1815     class instances for the prefix order (merely corresponding locale
  1816     interpretations). The type class instances are now in theory
  1817     Library/Prefix_Order.
  1818 
  1819   - The sublist relation of theory Library/Sublist_Order is now based
  1820     on "Sublist.sublisteq".  Renamed lemmas accordingly:
  1821 
  1822       le_list_append_le_same_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append_le_same_iff
  1823       le_list_append_mono ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_append_mono
  1824       le_list_below_empty ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil, Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil2
  1825       le_list_Cons_EX ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_ConsD
  1826       le_list_drop_Cons2 ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2'
  1827       le_list_drop_Cons_neq ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2_neq
  1828       le_list_drop_Cons ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons'
  1829       le_list_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_drop_many
  1830       le_list_filter_left ~> Sublist.sublisteq_filter_left
  1831       le_list_rev_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_rev_drop_many
  1832       le_list_rev_take_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append
  1833       le_list_same_length ~> Sublist.sublisteq_same_length
  1834       le_list_take_many_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append'
  1835       less_eq_list.drop ~> less_eq_list_drop
  1836       less_eq_list.induct ~> less_eq_list_induct
  1837       not_le_list_length ~> Sublist.not_sublisteq_length
  1838 
  1839 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1840 
  1841 * New theory Library/Countable_Set.
  1842 
  1843 * Theory Library/Debug and Library/Parallel provide debugging and
  1844 parallel execution for code generated towards Isabelle/ML.
  1845 
  1846 * Theory Library/FuncSet: Extended support for Pi and extensional and
  1847 introduce the extensional dependent function space "PiE". Replaced
  1848 extensional_funcset by an abbreviation, and renamed lemmas from
  1849 extensional_funcset to PiE as follows:
  1850 
  1851   extensional_empty  ~>  PiE_empty
  1852   extensional_funcset_empty_domain  ~>  PiE_empty_domain
  1853   extensional_funcset_empty_range  ~>  PiE_empty_range
  1854   extensional_funcset_arb  ~>  PiE_arb
  1855   extensional_funcset_mem  ~>  PiE_mem
  1856   extensional_funcset_extend_domainI  ~>  PiE_fun_upd
  1857   extensional_funcset_restrict_domain  ~>  fun_upd_in_PiE
  1858   extensional_funcset_extend_domain_eq  ~>  PiE_insert_eq
  1859   card_extensional_funcset  ~>  card_PiE
  1860   finite_extensional_funcset  ~>  finite_PiE
  1861 
  1862 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1863 
  1864 * Theory Library/FinFun: theory of almost everywhere constant
  1865 functions (supersedes the AFP entry "Code Generation for Functions as
  1866 Data").
  1867 
  1868 * Theory Library/Phantom: generic phantom type to make a type
  1869 parameter appear in a constant's type.  This alternative to adding
  1870 TYPE('a) as another parameter avoids unnecessary closures in generated
  1871 code.
  1872 
  1873 * Theory Library/RBT_Impl: efficient construction of red-black trees
  1874 from sorted associative lists. Merging two trees with rbt_union may
  1875 return a structurally different tree than before.  Potential
  1876 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1877 
  1878 * Theory Library/IArray: immutable arrays with code generation.
  1879 
  1880 * Theory Library/Finite_Lattice: theory of finite lattices.
  1881 
  1882 * HOL/Multivariate_Analysis: replaced
  1883 
  1884   "basis :: 'a::euclidean_space => nat => real"
  1885   "\<Chi>\<Chi> :: (nat => real) => 'a::euclidean_space"
  1886 
  1887 on euclidean spaces by using the inner product "_ \<bullet> _" with
  1888 vectors from the Basis set: "\<Chi>\<Chi> i. f i" is superseded by
  1889 "SUM i : Basis. f i * r i".
  1890 
  1891   With this change the following constants are also changed or removed:
  1892 
  1893     DIM('a) :: nat  ~>  card (Basis :: 'a set)   (is an abbreviation)
  1894     a $$ i  ~>  inner a i  (where i : Basis)
  1895     cart_base i  removed
  1896     \<pi>, \<pi>'  removed
  1897 
  1898   Theorems about these constants where removed.
  1899 
  1900   Renamed lemmas:
  1901 
  1902     component_le_norm  ~>  Basis_le_norm
  1903     euclidean_eq  ~>  euclidean_eq_iff
  1904     differential_zero_maxmin_component  ~>  differential_zero_maxmin_cart
  1905     euclidean_simps  ~>  inner_simps
  1906     independent_basis  ~>  independent_Basis
  1907     span_basis  ~>  span_Basis
  1908     in_span_basis  ~>  in_span_Basis
  1909     norm_bound_component_le  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_le
  1910     norm_bound_component_lt  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_lt
  1911     component_le_infnorm  ~>  Basis_le_infnorm
  1912 
  1913 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1914 
  1915 * HOL/Probability:
  1916 
  1917   - Added simproc "measurable" to automatically prove measurability.
  1918 
  1919   - Added induction rules for sigma sets with disjoint union
  1920     (sigma_sets_induct_disjoint) and for Borel-measurable functions
  1921     (borel_measurable_induct).
  1922 
  1923   - Added the Daniell-Kolmogorov theorem (the existence the limit of a
  1924     projective family).
  1925 
  1926 * HOL/Cardinals: Theories of ordinals and cardinals (supersedes the
  1927 AFP entry "Ordinals_and_Cardinals").
  1928 
  1929 * HOL/BNF: New (co)datatype package based on bounded natural functors
  1930 with support for mixed, nested recursion and interesting non-free
  1931 datatypes.
  1932 
  1933 * HOL/Finite_Set and Relation: added new set and relation operations
  1934 expressed by Finite_Set.fold.
  1935 
  1936 * New theory HOL/Library/RBT_Set: implementation of sets by red-black
  1937 trees for the code generator.
  1938 
  1939 * HOL/Library/RBT and HOL/Library/Mapping have been converted to
  1940 Lifting/Transfer.
  1941 possible INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1942 
  1943 * HOL/Set: renamed Set.project -> Set.filter
  1944 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1945 
  1946 
  1947 *** Document preparation ***
  1948 
  1949 * Dropped legacy antiquotations "term_style" and "thm_style", since
  1950 styles may be given as arguments to "term" and "thm" already.
  1951 Discontinued legacy styles "prem1" .. "prem19".
  1952 
  1953 * Default LaTeX rendering for \<euro> is now based on eurosym package,
  1954 instead of slightly exotic babel/greek.
  1955 
  1956 * Document variant NAME may use different LaTeX entry point
  1957 document/root_NAME.tex if that file exists, instead of the common
  1958 document/root.tex.
  1959 
  1960 * Simplified custom document/build script, instead of old-style
  1961 document/IsaMakefile.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1962 
  1963 
  1964 *** ML ***
  1965 
  1966 * The default limit for maximum number of worker threads is now 8,
  1967 instead of 4, in correspondence to capabilities of contemporary
  1968 hardware and Poly/ML runtime system.
  1969 
  1970 * Type Seq.results and related operations support embedded error
  1971 messages within lazy enumerations, and thus allow to provide
  1972 informative errors in the absence of any usable results.
  1973 
  1974 * Renamed Position.str_of to Position.here to emphasize that this is a
  1975 formal device to inline positions into message text, but not
  1976 necessarily printing visible text.
  1977 
  1978 
  1979 *** System ***
  1980 
  1981 * Advanced support for Isabelle sessions and build management, see
  1982 "system" manual for the chapter of that name, especially the "isabelle
  1983 build" tool and its examples.  The "isabelle mkroot" tool prepares
  1984 session root directories for use with "isabelle build", similar to
  1985 former "isabelle mkdir" for "isabelle usedir".  Note that this affects
  1986 document preparation as well.  INCOMPATIBILITY, isabelle usedir /
  1987 mkdir / make are rendered obsolete.
  1988 
  1989 * Discontinued obsolete Isabelle/build script, it is superseded by the
  1990 regular isabelle build tool.  For example:
  1991 
  1992   isabelle build -s -b HOL
  1993 
  1994 * Discontinued obsolete "isabelle makeall".
  1995 
  1996 * Discontinued obsolete IsaMakefile and ROOT.ML files from the
  1997 Isabelle distribution, except for rudimentary src/HOL/IsaMakefile that
  1998 provides some traditional targets that invoke "isabelle build".  Note
  1999 that this is inefficient!  Applications of Isabelle/HOL involving
  2000 "isabelle make" should be upgraded to use "isabelle build" directly.
  2001 
  2002 * The "isabelle options" tool prints Isabelle system options, as
  2003 required for "isabelle build", for example.
  2004 
  2005 * The "isabelle logo" tool produces EPS and PDF format simultaneously.
  2006 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY in command-line options.
  2007 
  2008 * The "isabelle install" tool has now a simpler command-line.  Minor
  2009 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2010 
  2011 * The "isabelle components" tool helps to resolve add-on components
  2012 that are not bundled, or referenced from a bare-bones repository
  2013 version of Isabelle.
  2014 
  2015 * Settings variable ISABELLE_PLATFORM_FAMILY refers to the general
  2016 platform family: "linux", "macos", "windows".
  2017 
  2018 * The ML system is configured as regular component, and no longer
  2019 picked up from some surrounding directory.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  2020 for home-made settings.
  2021 
  2022 * Improved ML runtime statistics (heap, threads, future tasks etc.).
  2023 
  2024 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2.1, which was the last version
  2025 without exception positions and advanced ML compiler/toplevel
  2026 configuration.
  2027 
  2028 * Discontinued special treatment of Proof General -- no longer guess
  2029 PROOFGENERAL_HOME based on accidental file-system layout.  Minor
  2030 INCOMPATIBILITY: provide PROOFGENERAL_HOME and PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS
  2031 settings manually, or use a Proof General version that has been
  2032 bundled as Isabelle component.
  2033 
  2034 
  2035 
  2036 New in Isabelle2012 (May 2012)
  2037 ------------------------------
  2038 
  2039 *** General ***
  2040 
  2041 * Prover IDE (PIDE) improvements:
  2042 
  2043   - more robust Sledgehammer integration (as before the sledgehammer
  2044     command-line needs to be typed into the source buffer)
  2045   - markup for bound variables
  2046   - markup for types of term variables (displayed as tooltips)
  2047   - support for user-defined Isar commands within the running session
  2048   - improved support for Unicode outside original 16bit range
  2049     e.g. glyph for \<A> (thanks to jEdit 4.5.1)
  2050 
  2051 * Forward declaration of outer syntax keywords within the theory
  2052 header -- minor INCOMPATIBILITY for user-defined commands.  Allow new
  2053 commands to be used in the same theory where defined.
  2054 
  2055 * Auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for specifications with
  2056 additional parameters and assumptions.  Such unnamed contexts may be
  2057 nested within other targets, like 'theory', 'locale', 'class',
  2058 'instantiation' etc.  Results from the local context are generalized
  2059 accordingly and applied to the enclosing target context.  Example:
  2060 
  2061   context
  2062     fixes x y z :: 'a
  2063     assumes xy: "x = y" and yz: "y = z"
  2064   begin
  2065 
  2066   lemma my_trans: "x = z" using xy yz by simp
  2067 
  2068   end
  2069 
  2070   thm my_trans
  2071 
  2072 The most basic application is to factor-out context elements of
  2073 several fixes/assumes/shows theorem statements, e.g. see
  2074 ~~/src/HOL/Isar_Examples/Group_Context.thy
  2075 
  2076 Any other local theory specification element works within the "context
  2077 ... begin ... end" block as well.
  2078 
  2079 * Bundled declarations associate attributed fact expressions with a
  2080 given name in the context.  These may be later included in other
  2081 contexts.  This allows to manage context extensions casually, without
  2082 the logical dependencies of locales and locale interpretation.  See
  2083 commands 'bundle', 'include', 'including' etc. in the isar-ref manual.
  2084 
  2085 * Commands 'lemmas' and 'theorems' allow local variables using 'for'
  2086 declaration, and results are standardized before being stored.  Thus
  2087 old-style "standard" after instantiation or composition of facts
  2088 becomes obsolete.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, due to potential change of
  2089 indices of schematic variables.
  2090 
  2091 * Rule attributes in local theory declarations (e.g. locale or class)
  2092 are now statically evaluated: the resulting theorem is stored instead
  2093 of the original expression.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  2094 the historic accident of dynamic re-evaluation in interpretations
  2095 etc. was exploited.
  2096 
  2097 * New tutorial "Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL"
  2098 ("prog-prove").  It completely supersedes "A Tutorial Introduction to
  2099 Structured Isar Proofs" ("isar-overview"), which has been removed.  It
  2100 also supersedes "Isabelle/HOL, A Proof Assistant for Higher-Order
  2101 Logic" as the recommended beginners tutorial, but does not cover all
  2102 of the material of that old tutorial.
  2103 
  2104 * Updated and extended reference manuals: "isar-ref",
  2105 "implementation", "system"; reduced remaining material in old "ref"
  2106 manual.
  2107 
  2108 
  2109 *** Pure ***
  2110 
  2111 * Command 'definition' no longer exports the foundational "raw_def"
  2112 into the user context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, may use the regular
  2113 "def" result with attribute "abs_def" to imitate the old version.
  2114 
  2115 * Attribute "abs_def" turns an equation of the form "f x y == t" into
  2116 "f == %x y. t", which ensures that "simp" or "unfold" steps always
  2117 expand it.  This also works for object-logic equality.  (Formerly
  2118 undocumented feature.)
  2119 
  2120 * Sort constraints are now propagated in simultaneous statements, just
  2121 like type constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  2122 distinct sorts used to be assigned accidentally.  For example:
  2123 
  2124   lemma "P (x::'a::foo)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"  -- "now illegal"
  2125 
  2126   lemma "P (x::'a)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"
  2127     -- "now uniform 'a::bar instead of default sort for first occurrence (!)"
  2128 
  2129 * Rule composition via attribute "OF" (or ML functions OF/MRS) is more
  2130 tolerant against multiple unifiers, as long as the final result is
  2131 unique.  (As before, rules are composed in canonical right-to-left
  2132 order to accommodate newly introduced premises.)
  2133 
  2134 * Renamed some inner syntax categories:
  2135 
  2136     num ~> num_token
  2137     xnum ~> xnum_token
  2138     xstr ~> str_token
  2139 
  2140 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that in practice "num_const" or
  2141 "num_position" etc. are mainly used instead (which also include
  2142 position information via constraints).
  2143 
  2144 * Simplified configuration options for syntax ambiguity: see
  2145 "syntax_ambiguity_warning" and "syntax_ambiguity_limit" in isar-ref
  2146 manual.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2147 
  2148 * Discontinued configuration option "syntax_positions": atomic terms
  2149 in parse trees are always annotated by position constraints.
  2150 
  2151 * Old code generator for SML and its commands 'code_module',
  2152 'code_library', 'consts_code', 'types_code' have been discontinued.
  2153 Use commands of the generic code generator instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2154 
  2155 * Redundant attribute "code_inline" has been discontinued. Use
  2156 "code_unfold" instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2157 
  2158 * Dropped attribute "code_unfold_post" in favor of the its dual
  2159 "code_abbrev", which yields a common pattern in definitions like
  2160 
  2161   definition [code_abbrev]: "f = t"
  2162 
  2163 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2164 
  2165 * Obsolete 'types' command has been discontinued.  Use 'type_synonym'
  2166 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2167 
  2168 * Discontinued old "prems" fact, which used to refer to the accidental
  2169 collection of foundational premises in the context (already marked as
  2170 legacy since Isabelle2011).
  2171 
  2172 
  2173 *** HOL ***
  2174 
  2175 * Type 'a set is now a proper type constructor (just as before
  2176 Isabelle2008).  Definitions mem_def and Collect_def have disappeared.
  2177 Non-trivial INCOMPATIBILITY.  For developments keeping predicates and
  2178 sets separate, it is often sufficient to rephrase some set S that has
  2179 been accidentally used as predicates by "%x. x : S", and some
  2180 predicate P that has been accidentally used as set by "{x. P x}".
  2181 Corresponding proofs in a first step should be pruned from any
  2182 tinkering with former theorems mem_def and Collect_def as far as
  2183 possible.
  2184 
  2185 For developments which deliberately mix predicates and sets, a
  2186 planning step is necessary to determine what should become a predicate
  2187 and what a set.  It can be helpful to carry out that step in
  2188 Isabelle2011-1 before jumping right into the current release.
  2189 
  2190 * Code generation by default implements sets as container type rather
  2191 than predicates.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2192 
  2193 * New type synonym 'a rel = ('a * 'a) set
  2194 
  2195 * The representation of numerals has changed.  Datatype "num"
  2196 represents strictly positive binary numerals, along with functions
  2197 "numeral :: num => 'a" and "neg_numeral :: num => 'a" to represent
  2198 positive and negated numeric literals, respectively.  See also
  2199 definitions in ~~/src/HOL/Num.thy.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, some
  2200 user theories may require adaptations as follows:
  2201 
  2202   - Theorems with number_ring or number_semiring constraints: These
  2203     classes are gone; use comm_ring_1 or comm_semiring_1 instead.
  2204 
  2205   - Theories defining numeric types: Remove number, number_semiring,
  2206     and number_ring instances. Defer all theorems about numerals until
  2207     after classes one and semigroup_add have been instantiated.
  2208 
  2209   - Numeral-only simp rules: Replace each rule having a "number_of v"
  2210     pattern with two copies, one for numeral and one for neg_numeral.
  2211 
  2212   - Theorems about subclasses of semiring_1 or ring_1: These classes
  2213     automatically support numerals now, so more simp rules and
  2214     simprocs may now apply within the proof.
  2215 
  2216   - Definitions and theorems using old constructors Pls/Min/Bit0/Bit1:
  2217     Redefine using other integer operations.
  2218 
  2219 * Transfer: New package intended to generalize the existing
  2220 "descending" method and related theorem attributes from the Quotient
  2221 package.  (Not all functionality is implemented yet, but future
  2222 development will focus on Transfer as an eventual replacement for the
  2223 corresponding parts of the Quotient package.)
  2224 
  2225   - transfer_rule attribute: Maintains a collection of transfer rules,
  2226     which relate constants at two different types. Transfer rules may
  2227     relate different type instances of the same polymorphic constant,
  2228     or they may relate an operation on a raw type to a corresponding
  2229     operation on an abstract type (quotient or subtype). For example:
  2230 
  2231     ((A ===> B) ===> list_all2 A ===> list_all2 B) map map
  2232     (cr_int ===> cr_int ===> cr_int) (%(x,y) (u,v). (x+u, y+v)) plus_int
  2233 
  2234   - transfer method: Replaces a subgoal on abstract types with an
  2235     equivalent subgoal on the corresponding raw types. Constants are
  2236     replaced with corresponding ones according to the transfer rules.
  2237     Goals are generalized over all free variables by default; this is
  2238     necessary for variables whose types change, but can be overridden
  2239     for specific variables with e.g. "transfer fixing: x y z".  The
  2240     variant transfer' method allows replacing a subgoal with one that
  2241     is logically stronger (rather than equivalent).
  2242 
  2243   - relator_eq attribute: Collects identity laws for relators of
  2244     various type constructors, e.g. "list_all2 (op =) = (op =)".  The
  2245     transfer method uses these lemmas to infer transfer rules for
  2246     non-polymorphic constants on the fly.
  2247 
  2248   - transfer_prover method: Assists with proving a transfer rule for a
  2249     new constant, provided the constant is defined in terms of other
  2250     constants that already have transfer rules. It should be applied
  2251     after unfolding the constant definitions.
  2252 
  2253   - HOL/ex/Transfer_Int_Nat.thy: Example theory demonstrating transfer
  2254     from type nat to type int.
  2255 
  2256 * Lifting: New package intended to generalize the quotient_definition
  2257 facility of the Quotient package; designed to work with Transfer.
  2258 
  2259   - lift_definition command: Defines operations on an abstract type in
  2260     terms of a corresponding operation on a representation
  2261     type.  Example syntax:
  2262 
  2263     lift_definition dlist_insert :: "'a => 'a dlist => 'a dlist"
  2264       is List.insert
  2265 
  2266     Users must discharge a respectfulness proof obligation when each
  2267     constant is defined. (For a type copy, i.e. a typedef with UNIV,
  2268     the proof is discharged automatically.) The obligation is
  2269     presented in a user-friendly, readable form; a respectfulness
  2270     theorem in the standard format and a transfer rule are generated
  2271     by the package.
  2272 
  2273   - Integration with code_abstype: For typedefs (e.g. subtypes
  2274     corresponding to a datatype invariant, such as dlist),
  2275     lift_definition generates a code certificate theorem and sets up
  2276     code generation for each constant.
  2277 
  2278   - setup_lifting command: Sets up the Lifting package to work with a
  2279     user-defined type. The user must provide either a quotient theorem
  2280     or a type_definition theorem.  The package configures transfer
  2281     rules for equality and quantifiers on the type, and sets up the
  2282     lift_definition command to work with the type.
  2283 
  2284   - Usage examples: See Quotient_Examples/Lift_DList.thy,
  2285     Quotient_Examples/Lift_RBT.thy, Quotient_Examples/Lift_FSet.thy,
  2286     Word/Word.thy and Library/Float.thy.
  2287 
  2288 * Quotient package:
  2289 
  2290   - The 'quotient_type' command now supports a 'morphisms' option with
  2291     rep and abs functions, similar to typedef.
  2292 
  2293   - 'quotient_type' sets up new types to work with the Lifting and
  2294     Transfer packages, as with 'setup_lifting'.
  2295 
  2296   - The 'quotient_definition' command now requires the user to prove a
  2297     respectfulness property at the point where the constant is
  2298     defined, similar to lift_definition; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2299 
  2300   - Renamed predicate 'Quotient' to 'Quotient3', and renamed theorems
  2301     accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2302 
  2303 * New diagnostic command 'find_unused_assms' to find potentially
  2304 superfluous assumptions in theorems using Quickcheck.
  2305 
  2306 * Quickcheck:
  2307 
  2308   - Quickcheck returns variable assignments as counterexamples, which
  2309     allows to reveal the underspecification of functions under test.
  2310     For example, refuting "hd xs = x", it presents the variable
  2311     assignment xs = [] and x = a1 as a counterexample, assuming that
  2312     any property is false whenever "hd []" occurs in it.
  2313 
  2314     These counterexample are marked as potentially spurious, as
  2315     Quickcheck also returns "xs = []" as a counterexample to the
  2316     obvious theorem "hd xs = hd xs".
  2317 
  2318     After finding a potentially spurious counterexample, Quickcheck
  2319     continues searching for genuine ones.
  2320 
  2321     By default, Quickcheck shows potentially spurious and genuine
  2322     counterexamples. The option "genuine_only" sets quickcheck to only
  2323     show genuine counterexamples.
  2324 
  2325   - The command 'quickcheck_generator' creates random and exhaustive
  2326     value generators for a given type and operations.
  2327 
  2328     It generates values by using the operations as if they were
  2329     constructors of that type.
  2330 
  2331   - Support for multisets.
  2332 
  2333   - Added "use_subtype" options.
  2334 
  2335   - Added "quickcheck_locale" configuration to specify how to process
  2336     conjectures in a locale context.
  2337 
  2338 * Nitpick: Fixed infinite loop caused by the 'peephole_optim' option
  2339 and affecting 'rat' and 'real'.
  2340 
  2341 * Sledgehammer:
  2342   - Integrated more tightly with SPASS, as described in the ITP 2012
  2343     paper "More SPASS with Isabelle".
  2344   - Made it try "smt" as a fallback if "metis" fails or times out.
  2345   - Added support for the following provers: Alt-Ergo (via Why3 and
  2346     TFF1), iProver, iProver-Eq.
  2347   - Sped up the minimizer.
  2348   - Added "lam_trans", "uncurry_aliases", and "minimize" options.
  2349   - Renamed "slicing" ("no_slicing") option to "slice" ("dont_slice").
  2350   - Renamed "sound" option to "strict".
  2351 
  2352 * Metis: Added possibility to specify lambda translations scheme as a
  2353 parenthesized argument (e.g., "by (metis (lifting) ...)").
  2354 
  2355 * SMT: Renamed "smt_fixed" option to "smt_read_only_certificates".
  2356 
  2357 * Command 'try0': Renamed from 'try_methods'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2358 
  2359 * New "case_product" attribute to generate a case rule doing multiple
  2360 case distinctions at the same time.  E.g.
  2361 
  2362   list.exhaust [case_product nat.exhaust]
  2363 
  2364 produces a rule which can be used to perform case distinction on both
  2365 a list and a nat.
  2366 
  2367 * New "eventually_elim" method as a generalized variant of the
  2368 eventually_elim* rules.  Supports structured proofs.
  2369 
  2370 * Typedef with implicit set definition is considered legacy.  Use
  2371 "typedef (open)" form instead, which will eventually become the
  2372 default.
  2373 
  2374 * Record: code generation can be switched off manually with
  2375 
  2376   declare [[record_coden = false]]  -- "default true"
  2377 
  2378 * Datatype: type parameters allow explicit sort constraints.
  2379 
  2380 * Concrete syntax for case expressions includes constraints for source
  2381 positions, and thus produces Prover IDE markup for its bindings.
  2382 INCOMPATIBILITY for old-style syntax translations that augment the
  2383 pattern notation; e.g. see src/HOL/HOLCF/One.thy for translations of
  2384 one_case.
  2385 
  2386 * Clarified attribute "mono_set": pure declaration without modifying
  2387 the result of the fact expression.
  2388 
  2389 * More default pred/set conversions on a couple of relation operations
  2390 and predicates.  Added powers of predicate relations.  Consolidation
  2391 of some relation theorems:
  2392 
  2393   converse_def ~> converse_unfold
  2394   rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
  2395   symp_def ~> (modified, use symp_def and sym_def instead)
  2396   transp_def ~> transp_trans
  2397   Domain_def ~> Domain_unfold
  2398   Range_def ~> Domain_converse [symmetric]
  2399 
  2400 Generalized theorems INF_INT_eq, INF_INT_eq2, SUP_UN_eq, SUP_UN_eq2.
  2401 
  2402 See theory "Relation" for examples for making use of pred/set
  2403 conversions by means of attributes "to_set" and "to_pred".
  2404 
  2405 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2406 
  2407 * Renamed facts about the power operation on relations, i.e., relpow
  2408 to match the constant's name:
  2409 
  2410   rel_pow_1 ~> relpow_1
  2411   rel_pow_0_I ~> relpow_0_I
  2412   rel_pow_Suc_I ~> relpow_Suc_I
  2413   rel_pow_Suc_I2 ~> relpow_Suc_I2
  2414   rel_pow_0_E ~> relpow_0_E
  2415   rel_pow_Suc_E ~> relpow_Suc_E
  2416   rel_pow_E ~> relpow_E
  2417   rel_pow_Suc_D2 ~> relpow_Suc_D2
  2418   rel_pow_Suc_E2 ~> relpow_Suc_E2
  2419   rel_pow_Suc_D2' ~> relpow_Suc_D2'
  2420   rel_pow_E2 ~> relpow_E2
  2421   rel_pow_add ~> relpow_add
  2422   rel_pow_commute ~> relpow
  2423   rel_pow_empty ~> relpow_empty:
  2424   rtrancl_imp_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_imp_UN_relpow
  2425   rel_pow_imp_rtrancl ~> relpow_imp_rtrancl
  2426   rtrancl_is_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_is_UN_relpow
  2427   rtrancl_imp_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_imp_relpow
  2428   rel_pow_fun_conv ~> relpow_fun_conv
  2429   rel_pow_finite_bounded1 ~> relpow_finite_bounded1
  2430   rel_pow_finite_bounded ~> relpow_finite_bounded
  2431   rtrancl_finite_eq_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_finite_eq_relpow
  2432   trancl_finite_eq_rel_pow ~> trancl_finite_eq_relpow
  2433   single_valued_rel_pow ~> single_valued_relpow
  2434 
  2435 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2436 
  2437 * Theory Relation: Consolidated constant name for relation composition
  2438 and corresponding theorem names:
  2439 
  2440   - Renamed constant rel_comp to relcomp.
  2441 
  2442   - Dropped abbreviation pred_comp. Use relcompp instead.
  2443 
  2444   - Renamed theorems:
  2445 
  2446     rel_compI ~> relcompI
  2447     rel_compEpair ~> relcompEpair
  2448     rel_compE ~> relcompE

  2472     set_rel_comp ~> set_relcomp
  2473 
  2474 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2475 
  2476 * Theory Divides: Discontinued redundant theorems about div and mod.
  2477 INCOMPATIBILITY, use the corresponding generic theorems instead.

  2498   mod_mult_distrib ~> mult_mod_left
  2499   mod_mult_distrib2 ~> mult_mod_right
  2500 
  2501 * Removed redundant theorems nat_mult_2 and nat_mult_2_right; use
  2502 generic mult_2 and mult_2_right instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2503 
  2504 * Finite_Set.fold now qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2505 
  2506 * Consolidated theorem names concerning fold combinators:

  2527 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2528 
  2529 * Dropped rarely useful theorems concerning fold combinators:
  2530 foldl_apply, foldl_fun_comm, foldl_rev, fold_weak_invariant,

  2536 INCOMPATIBILITY.  For the common phrases "%xs. List.foldr plus xs 0"
  2537 and "List.foldl plus 0", prefer "List.listsum".  Otherwise it can be
  2538 useful to boil down "List.foldr" and "List.foldl" to "List.fold" by
  2539 unfolding "foldr_conv_fold" and "foldl_conv_fold".

  2545 lemmas over fold rather than foldr, or make use of lemmas
  2546 fold_conv_foldr and fold_rev.

  2790 
  2791 * Session HOL-Import: Re-implementation from scratch is faster,
  2792 simpler, and more scalable.  Requires a proof bundle, which is

  2794 dead) Importer for HOL4 and HOL Light.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2842 * Session HOL-Word: New proof method "word_bitwise" for splitting
  2843 machine word equalities and inequalities into logical circuits,
  2844 defined in HOL/Word/WordBitwise.thy.  Supports addition, subtraction,
  2845 multiplication, shifting by constants, bitwise operators and numeric
  2846 constants.  Requires fixed-length word types, not 'a word.  Solves
  2847 many standard word identities outright and converts more into first
  2848 order problems amenable to blast or similar.  See also examples in
  2849 HOL/Word/Examples/WordExamples.thy.
  2850 
  2851 * Session HOL-Probability: Introduced the type "'a measure" to
  2852 represent measures, this replaces the records 'a algebra and 'a
  2853 measure_space.  The locales based on subset_class now have two
  2854 locale-parameters the space \<Omega> and the set of measurable sets M.
  2855 The product of probability spaces uses now the same constant as the
  2856 finite product of sigma-finite measure spaces "PiM :: ('i => 'a)
  2857 measure".  Most constants are defined now outside of locales and gain
  2858 an additional parameter, like null_sets, almost_eventually or \<mu>'.
  2859 Measure space constructions for distributions and densities now got
  2860 their own constants distr and density.  Instead of using locales to
  2861 describe measure spaces with a finite space, the measure count_space
  2862 and point_measure is introduced.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3023 
  3024 * Session HOL-TPTP: support to parse and import TPTP problems (all
  3025 languages) into Isabelle/HOL.
  3026 
  3027 
  3028 *** FOL ***
  3029 
  3030 * New "case_product" attribute (see HOL).
  3031 
  3032 
  3033 *** ZF ***
  3034 
  3035 * Greater support for structured proofs involving induction or case
  3036 analysis.
  3037 
  3038 * Much greater use of mathematical symbols.
  3039 
  3040 * Removal of many ML theorem bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3041 
  3042 
  3043 *** ML ***
  3044 
  3045 * Antiquotation @{keyword "name"} produces a parser for outer syntax
  3046 from a minor keyword introduced via theory header declaration.
  3047 
  3048 * Antiquotation @{command_spec "name"} produces the
  3049 Outer_Syntax.command_spec from a major keyword introduced via theory
  3050 header declaration; it can be passed to Outer_Syntax.command etc.
  3051 
  3052 * Local_Theory.define no longer hard-wires default theorem name
  3053 "foo_def", but retains the binding as given.  If that is Binding.empty
  3054 / Attrib.empty_binding, the result is not registered as user-level
  3055 fact.  The Local_Theory.define_internal variant allows to specify a
  3056 non-empty name (used for the foundation in the background theory),
  3057 while omitting the fact binding in the user-context.  Potential
  3058 INCOMPATIBILITY for derived definitional packages: need to specify
  3059 naming policy for primitive definitions more explicitly.
  3060 
  3061 * Renamed Thm.capply to Thm.apply, and Thm.cabs to Thm.lambda in
  3062 conformance with similar operations in structure Term and Logic.
  3063 
  3064 * Antiquotation @{attributes [...]} embeds attribute source
  3065 representation into the ML text, which is particularly useful with
  3066 declarations like Local_Theory.note.
  3067 
  3068 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  3069 ProofContext has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3070 
  3071 * Refined Local_Theory.declaration {syntax, pervasive}, with subtle
  3072 change of semantics: update is applied to auxiliary local theory
  3073 context as well.
  3074 
  3075 * Modernized some old-style infix operations:
  3076 
  3077   addeqcongs    ~> Simplifier.add_eqcong
  3078   deleqcongs    ~> Simplifier.del_eqcong

  3085   settermless   ~> Simplifier.set_termless
  3086   setsubgoaler  ~> Simplifier.set_subgoaler
  3087   addsplits     ~> Splitter.add_split
  3088   delsplits     ~> Splitter.del_split
  3089 
  3090 
  3091 *** System ***
  3092 
  3093 * USER_HOME settings variable points to cross-platform user home
  3094 directory, which coincides with HOME on POSIX systems only.  Likewise,
  3095 the Isabelle path specification "~" now expands to $USER_HOME, instead
  3096 of former $HOME.  A different default for USER_HOME may be set
  3097 explicitly in shell environment, before Isabelle settings are
  3098 evaluated.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: need to adapt Isabelle path where
  3099 the generic user home was intended.
  3100 
  3101 * ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS refers to ISABELLE_HOME in windows file name
  3102 notation, which is useful for the jEdit file browser, for example.
  3103 
  3104 * ISABELLE_JDK_HOME settings variable points to JDK with javac and jar
  3105 (not just JRE).
  3106 
  3107 
  3108 
  3109 New in Isabelle2011-1 (October 2011)
  3110 ------------------------------------
  3111 
  3112 *** General ***
  3113 
  3114 * Improved Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE (PIDE), which can be invoked as
  3115 "isabelle jedit" or "ISABELLE_HOME/Isabelle" on the command line.
  3116 
  3117   - Management of multiple theory files directly from the editor
  3118     buffer store -- bypassing the file-system (no requirement to save
  3119     files for checking).
  3120 
  3121   - Markup of formal entities within the text buffer, with semantic
  3122     highlighting, tooltips and hyperlinks to jump to defining source
  3123     positions.
  3124 
  3125   - Improved text rendering, with sub/superscripts in the source
  3126     buffer (including support for copy/paste wrt. output panel, HTML
  3127     theory output and other non-Isabelle text boxes).
  3128 
  3129   - Refined scheduling of proof checking and printing of results,
  3130     based on interactive editor view.  (Note: jEdit folding and
  3131     narrowing allows to restrict buffer perspectives explicitly.)
  3132 
  3133   - Reduced CPU performance requirements, usable on machines with few
  3134     cores.
  3135 
  3136   - Reduced memory requirements due to pruning of unused document
  3137     versions (garbage collection).
  3138 
  3139 See also ~~/src/Tools/jEdit/README.html for further information,
  3140 including some remaining limitations.
  3141 
  3142 * Theory loader: source files are exclusively located via the master
  3143 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  3144 The global load path (such as src/HOL/Library) has been discontinued.
  3145 Note that the path element ~~ may be used to reference theories in the
  3146 Isabelle home folder -- for instance, "~~/src/HOL/Library/FuncSet".
  3147 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3148 
  3149 * Theory loader: source files are identified by content via SHA1
  3150 digests.  Discontinued former path/modtime identification and optional
  3151 ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT plugin scripts.
  3152 
  3153 * Parallelization of nested Isar proofs is subject to
  3154 Goal.parallel_proofs_threshold (default 100).  See also isabelle
  3155 usedir option -Q.
  3156 
  3157 * Name space: former unsynchronized references are now proper
  3158 configuration options, with more conventional names:
  3159 
  3160   long_names   ~> names_long
  3161   short_names  ~> names_short
  3162   unique_names ~> names_unique
  3163 
  3164 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, need to declare options in context like this:
  3165 
  3166   declare [[names_unique = false]]
  3167 
  3168 * Literal facts `prop` may contain dummy patterns, e.g. `_ = _`.  Note
  3169 that the result needs to be unique, which means fact specifications
  3170 may have to be refined after enriching a proof context.
  3171 
  3172 * Attribute "case_names" has been refined: the assumptions in each case
  3173 can be named now by following the case name with [name1 name2 ...].
  3174 
  3175 * Isabelle/Isar reference manual has been updated and extended:
  3176   - "Synopsis" provides a catalog of main Isar language concepts.
  3177   - Formal references in syntax diagrams, via @{rail} antiquotation.
  3178   - Updated material from classic "ref" manual, notably about
  3179     "Classical Reasoner".
  3180 
  3181 
  3182 *** HOL ***
  3183 
  3184 * Class bot and top require underlying partial order rather than
  3185 preorder: uniqueness of bot and top is guaranteed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3186 
  3187 * Class complete_lattice: generalized a couple of lemmas from sets;
  3188 generalized theorems INF_cong and SUP_cong.  New type classes for
  3189 complete boolean algebras and complete linear orders.  Lemmas
  3190 Inf_less_iff, less_Sup_iff, INF_less_iff, less_SUP_iff now reside in
  3191 class complete_linorder.
  3192 
  3193 Changed proposition of lemmas Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, Inf_fun_def,
  3194 Sup_fun_def, Inf_apply, Sup_apply.
  3195 
  3196 Removed redundant lemmas (the right hand side gives hints how to
  3197 replace them for (metis ...), or (simp only: ...) proofs):
  3198 
  3199   Inf_singleton ~> Inf_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Inf_empty inf_top_right]
  3200   Sup_singleton ~> Sup_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Sup_empty sup_bot_right]
  3201   Inf_binary ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  3202   Sup_binary ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  3203   Int_eq_Inter ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  3204   Un_eq_Union ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  3205   Inter_def ~> INF_def, image_def
  3206   Union_def ~> SUP_def, image_def
  3207   INT_eq ~> INF_def, and image_def
  3208   UN_eq ~> SUP_def, and image_def
  3209   INF_subset ~> INF_superset_mono [OF _ order_refl]
  3210 
  3211 More consistent and comprehensive names:
  3212 
  3213   INTER_eq_Inter_image ~> INF_def
  3214   UNION_eq_Union_image ~> SUP_def
  3215   INFI_def ~> INF_def

  3226   SUPR_apply ~> SUP_apply
  3227   INTER_def ~> INTER_eq
  3228   UNION_def ~> UNION_eq
  3229 
  3230 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3231 
  3232 * Renamed theory Complete_Lattice to Complete_Lattices.
  3233 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3234 
  3235 * Theory Complete_Lattices: lemmas Inf_eq_top_iff, INF_eq_top_iff,
  3236 INF_image, Inf_insert, INF_top, Inf_top_conv, INF_top_conv, SUP_bot,
  3237 Sup_bot_conv, SUP_bot_conv, Sup_eq_top_iff, SUP_eq_top_iff, SUP_image,
  3238 Sup_insert are now declared as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3239 
  3240 * Theory Lattice: lemmas compl_inf_bot, compl_le_comp_iff,
  3241 compl_sup_top, inf_idem, inf_left_idem, inf_sup_absorb, sup_idem,
  3242 sup_inf_absob, sup_left_idem are now declared as [simp].  Minor
  3243 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3244 
  3245 * Added syntactic classes "inf" and "sup" for the respective
  3246 constants.  INCOMPATIBILITY: Changes in the argument order of the
  3247 (mostly internal) locale predicates for some derived classes.
  3248 
  3249 * Theorem collections ball_simps and bex_simps do not contain theorems
  3250 referring to UNION any longer; these have been moved to collection
  3251 UN_ball_bex_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3252 
  3253 * Theory Archimedean_Field: floor now is defined as parameter of a
  3254 separate type class floor_ceiling.
  3255 
  3256 * Theory Finite_Set: more coherent development of fold_set locales:
  3257 
  3258     locale fun_left_comm ~> locale comp_fun_commute
  3259     locale fun_left_comm_idem ~> locale comp_fun_idem
  3260 
  3261 Both use point-free characterization; interpretation proofs may need
  3262 adjustment.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3263 
  3264 * Theory Limits: Type "'a net" has been renamed to "'a filter", in
  3265 accordance with standard mathematical terminology. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3266 
  3267 * Theory Complex_Main: The locale interpretations for the
  3268 bounded_linear and bounded_bilinear locales have been removed, in
  3269 order to reduce the number of duplicate lemmas. Users must use the
  3270 original names for distributivity theorems, potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3366 * Theory Complex_Main: The definition of infinite series was
  3367 generalized.  Now it is defined on the type class {topological_space,
  3368 comm_monoid_add}.  Hence it is useable also for extended real numbers.
  3369 
  3370 * Theory Complex_Main: The complex exponential function "expi" is now
  3371 a type-constrained abbreviation for "exp :: complex => complex"; thus
  3372 several polymorphic lemmas about "exp" are now applicable to "expi".
  3373 
  3374 * Code generation:
  3375 
  3376   - Theory Library/Code_Char_ord provides native ordering of
  3377     characters in the target language.
  3378 
  3379   - Commands code_module and code_library are legacy, use export_code
  3380     instead.
  3381 
  3382   - Method "evaluation" is legacy, use method "eval" instead.
  3383 
  3384   - Legacy evaluator "SML" is deactivated by default.  May be
  3385     reactivated by the following theory command:
  3386 
  3387       setup {* Value.add_evaluator ("SML", Codegen.eval_term) *}
  3388 
  3389 * Declare ext [intro] by default.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3390 
  3391 * New proof method "induction" that gives induction hypotheses the
  3392 name "IH", thus distinguishing them from further hypotheses that come
  3393 from rule induction.  The latter are still called "hyps".  Method
  3394 "induction" is a thin wrapper around "induct" and follows the same
  3395 syntax.
  3396 
  3397 * Method "fastsimp" has been renamed to "fastforce", but "fastsimp" is
  3398 still available as a legacy feature for some time.
  3399 
  3400 * Nitpick:
  3401   - Added "need" and "total_consts" options.
  3402   - Reintroduced "show_skolems" option by popular demand.
  3403   - Renamed attribute: nitpick_def ~> nitpick_unfold.
  3404     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3405 
  3406 * Sledgehammer:
  3407   - Use quasi-sound (and efficient) translations by default.
  3408   - Added support for the following provers: E-ToFoF, LEO-II,
  3409     Satallax, SNARK, Waldmeister, and Z3 with TPTP syntax.
  3410   - Automatically preplay and minimize proofs before showing them if
  3411     this can be done within reasonable time.
  3412   - sledgehammer available_provers ~> sledgehammer supported_provers.
  3413     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3414   - Added "preplay_timeout", "slicing", "type_enc", "sound",
  3415     "max_mono_iters", and "max_new_mono_instances" options.
  3416   - Removed "explicit_apply" and "full_types" options as well as "Full
  3417     Types" Proof General menu item. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3418 
  3419 * Metis:
  3420   - Removed "metisF" -- use "metis" instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3421   - Obsoleted "metisFT" -- use "metis (full_types)" instead.
  3422     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3423 
  3424 * Command 'try':
  3425   - Renamed 'try_methods' and added "simp:", "intro:", "dest:", and
  3426     "elim:" options. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3427   - Introduced 'try' that not only runs 'try_methods' but also
  3428     'solve_direct', 'sledgehammer', 'quickcheck', and 'nitpick'.
  3429 
  3430 * Quickcheck:
  3431   - Added "eval" option to evaluate terms for the found counterexample
  3432     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  3433   - Added post-processing of terms to obtain readable counterexamples
  3434     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  3435   - New counterexample generator quickcheck[narrowing] enables
  3436     narrowing-based testing.  Requires the Glasgow Haskell compiler
  3437     with its installation location defined in the Isabelle settings
  3438     environment as ISABELLE_GHC.
  3439   - Removed quickcheck tester "SML" based on the SML code generator
  3440     (formly in HOL/Library).
  3441 
  3442 * Function package: discontinued option "tailrec".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  3443 use 'partial_function' instead.
  3444 
  3445 * Theory Library/Extended_Reals replaces now the positive extended
  3446 reals found in probability theory. This file is extended by
  3447 Multivariate_Analysis/Extended_Real_Limits.
  3448 
  3449 * Theory Library/Old_Recdef: old 'recdef' package has been moved here,
  3450 from where it must be imported explicitly if it is really required.
  3451 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3452 
  3453 * Theory Library/Wfrec: well-founded recursion combinator "wfrec" has
  3454 been moved here.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3455 
  3456 * Theory Library/Saturated provides type of numbers with saturated
  3457 arithmetic.
  3458 
  3459 * Theory Library/Product_Lattice defines a pointwise ordering for the
  3460 product type 'a * 'b, and provides instance proofs for various order
  3461 and lattice type classes.
  3462 
  3463 * Theory Library/Countable now provides the "countable_datatype" proof
  3464 method for proving "countable" class instances for datatypes.
  3465 
  3466 * Theory Library/Cset_Monad allows do notation for computable sets
  3467 (cset) via the generic monad ad-hoc overloading facility.
  3468 
  3469 * Library: Theories of common data structures are split into theories
  3470 for implementation, an invariant-ensuring type, and connection to an
  3471 abstract type. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3472 
  3473   - RBT is split into RBT and RBT_Mapping.
  3474   - AssocList is split and renamed into AList and AList_Mapping.
  3475   - DList is split into DList_Impl, DList, and DList_Cset.
  3476   - Cset is split into Cset and List_Cset.
  3477 
  3478 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity has been renamed to
  3479 Library/Extended_Nat, with name changes of the following types and
  3480 constants:
  3481 
  3482   type inat   ~> type enat
  3483   Fin         ~> enat
  3484   Infty       ~> infinity (overloaded)
  3485   iSuc        ~> eSuc
  3486   the_Fin     ~> the_enat
  3487 
  3488 Every theorem name containing "inat", "Fin", "Infty", or "iSuc" has
  3489 been renamed accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3490 
  3491 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: The euclidean_space type class now
  3492 fixes a constant "Basis :: 'a set" consisting of the standard
  3493 orthonormal basis for the type. Users now have the option of
  3494 quantifying over this set instead of using the "basis" function, e.g.
  3495 "ALL x:Basis. P x" vs "ALL i<DIM('a). P (basis i)".
  3496 
  3497 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Type "('a, 'b) cart" has been renamed
  3498 to "('a, 'b) vec" (the syntax "'a ^ 'b" remains unaffected). Constants
  3499 "Cart_nth" and "Cart_lambda" have been respectively renamed to
  3500 "vec_nth" and "vec_lambda"; theorems mentioning those names have
  3501 changed to match. Definition theorems for overloaded constants now use
  3502 the standard "foo_vec_def" naming scheme. A few other theorems have
  3503 been renamed as follows (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  3504 
  3505   Cart_eq          ~> vec_eq_iff
  3506   dist_nth_le_cart ~> dist_vec_nth_le
  3507   tendsto_vector   ~> vec_tendstoI
  3508   Cauchy_vector    ~> vec_CauchyI
  3509 
  3510 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Several duplicate theorems have been
  3511 removed, and other theorems have been renamed or replaced with more
  3512 general versions. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3565 
  3566 * Session HOL-Probability:
  3567   - Caratheodory's extension lemma is now proved for ring_of_sets.
  3568   - Infinite products of probability measures are now available.
  3569   - Sigma closure is independent, if the generator is independent
  3570   - Use extended reals instead of positive extended
  3571     reals. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3603 
  3604 * Antiquotation @{rail} layouts railroad syntax diagrams, see also
  3605 isar-ref manual, both for description and actual application of the
  3606 same.
  3607 
  3608 * Antiquotation @{value} evaluates the given term and presents its
  3609 result.
  3610 
  3611 * Antiquotations: term style "isub" provides ad-hoc conversion of
  3612 variables x1, y23 into subscripted form x\<^isub>1,
  3613 y\<^isub>2\<^isub>3.
  3614 
  3615 * Predefined LaTeX macros for Isabelle symbols \<bind> and \<then>
  3616 (e.g. see ~~/src/HOL/Library/Monad_Syntax.thy).
  3617 
  3618 * Localized \isabellestyle switch can be used within blocks or groups
  3619 like this:
  3620 
  3621   \isabellestyle{it}  %preferred default
  3622   {\isabellestylett @{text "typewriter stuff"}}
  3623 
  3624 * Discontinued special treatment of hard tabulators.  Implicit
  3625 tab-width is now defined as 1.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for visual
  3626 layouts.
  3627 
  3628 
  3629 *** ML ***
  3630 
  3631 * The inner syntax of sort/type/term/prop supports inlined YXML
  3632 representations within quoted string tokens.  By encoding logical
  3633 entities via Term_XML (in ML or Scala) concrete syntax can be
  3634 bypassed, which is particularly useful for producing bits of text
  3635 under external program control.
  3636 
  3637 * Antiquotations for ML and document preparation are managed as theory
  3638 data, which requires explicit setup.
  3639 
  3640 * Isabelle_Process.is_active allows tools to check if the official
  3641 process wrapper is running (Isabelle/Scala/jEdit) or the old TTY loop
  3642 (better known as Proof General).
  3643 
  3644 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  3645 ProofContext is still available for some time as legacy alias.
  3646 
  3647 * Structure Timing provides various operations for timing; supersedes
  3648 former start_timing/end_timing etc.
  3649 
  3650 * Path.print is the official way to show file-system paths to users
  3651 (including quotes etc.).
  3652 
  3653 * Inner syntax: identifiers in parse trees of generic categories
  3654 "logic", "aprop", "idt" etc. carry position information (disguised as
  3655 type constraints).  Occasional INCOMPATIBILITY with non-compliant
  3656 translations that choke on unexpected type constraints.  Positions can
  3657 be stripped in ML translations via Syntax.strip_positions /
  3658 Syntax.strip_positions_ast, or via the syntax constant
  3659 "_strip_positions" within parse trees.  As last resort, positions can
  3660 be disabled via the configuration option Syntax.positions, which is
  3661 called "syntax_positions" in Isar attribute syntax.
  3662 
  3663 * Discontinued special status of various ML structures that contribute
  3664 to structure Syntax (Ast, Lexicon, Mixfix, Parser, Printer etc.): less
  3665 pervasive content, no inclusion in structure Syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  3666 refer directly to Ast.Constant, Lexicon.is_identifier,
  3667 Syntax_Trans.mk_binder_tr etc.
  3668 
  3669 * Typed print translation: discontinued show_sorts argument, which is
  3670 already available via context of "advanced" translation.
  3671 
  3672 * Refined PARALLEL_GOALS tactical: degrades gracefully for schematic
  3673 goal states; body tactic needs to address all subgoals uniformly.
  3674 
  3675 * Slightly more special eq_list/eq_set, with shortcut involving
  3676 pointer equality (assumes that eq relation is reflexive).
  3677 
  3678 * Classical tactics use proper Proof.context instead of historic types
  3679 claset/clasimpset.  Old-style declarations like addIs, addEs, addDs
  3680 operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type claset retains its use as
  3681 snapshot of the classical context, which can be recovered via
  3682 (put_claset HOL_cs) etc.  Type clasimpset has been discontinued.
  3683 INCOMPATIBILITY, classical tactics and derived proof methods require
  3684 proper Proof.context.

  3688 
  3689 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2, which was the last version
  3690 without proper multithreading and TimeLimit implementation.
  3691 
  3692 * Discontinued old lib/scripts/polyml-platform, which has been
  3693 obsolete since Isabelle2009-2.
  3694 
  3695 * Various optional external tools are referenced more robustly and
  3696 uniformly by explicit Isabelle settings as follows:
  3697 
  3698   ISABELLE_CSDP   (formerly CSDP_EXE)
  3699   ISABELLE_GHC    (formerly EXEC_GHC or GHC_PATH)
  3700   ISABELLE_OCAML  (formerly EXEC_OCAML)
  3701   ISABELLE_SWIPL  (formerly EXEC_SWIPL)
  3702   ISABELLE_YAP    (formerly EXEC_YAP)
  3703 
  3704 Note that automated detection from the file-system or search path has
  3705 been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3706 
  3707 * Scala layer provides JVM method invocation service for static
  3708 methods of type (String)String, see Invoke_Scala.method in ML.  For
  3709 example:
  3710 
  3711   Invoke_Scala.method "java.lang.System.getProperty" "java.home"
  3712 
  3713 Together with YXML.string_of_body/parse_body and XML.Encode/Decode
  3714 this allows to pass structured values between ML and Scala.
  3715 
  3716 * The IsabelleText fonts includes some further glyphs to support the
  3717 Prover IDE.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: users who happen to have
  3718 installed a local copy (which is normally *not* required) need to
  3719 delete or update it from ~~/lib/fonts/.
  3720 
  3721 
  3722 
  3723 New in Isabelle2011 (January 2011)
  3724 ----------------------------------
  3725 
  3726 *** General ***
  3727 
  3728 * Experimental Prover IDE based on Isabelle/Scala and jEdit (see
  3729 src/Tools/jEdit).  This also serves as IDE for Isabelle/ML, with
  3730 useful tooltips and hyperlinks produced from its static analysis.  The
  3731 bundled component provides an executable Isabelle tool that can be run
  3732 like this:
  3733 
  3734   Isabelle2011/bin/isabelle jedit
  3735 
  3736 * Significantly improved Isabelle/Isar implementation manual.
  3737 
  3738 * System settings: ISABELLE_HOME_USER now includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER
  3739 (and thus refers to something like $HOME/.isabelle/Isabelle2011),
  3740 while the default heap location within that directory lacks that extra
  3741 suffix.  This isolates multiple Isabelle installations from each
  3742 other, avoiding problems with old settings in new versions.
  3743 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to copy/upgrade old user settings manually.
  3744 
  3745 * Source files are always encoded as UTF-8, instead of old-fashioned
  3746 ISO-Latin-1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Isabelle LaTeX documents might require
  3747 the following package declarations:
  3748 
  3749   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
  3750   \usepackage{textcomp}
  3751 
  3752 * Explicit treatment of UTF-8 sequences as Isabelle symbols, such that
  3753 a Unicode character is treated as a single symbol, not a sequence of
  3754 non-ASCII bytes as before.  Since Isabelle/ML string literals may
  3755 contain symbols without further backslash escapes, Unicode can now be
  3756 used here as well.  Recall that Symbol.explode in ML provides a
  3757 consistent view on symbols, while raw explode (or String.explode)
  3758 merely give a byte-oriented representation.
  3759 
  3760 * Theory loader: source files are primarily located via the master
  3761 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  3762 The global load path is still partially available as legacy feature.
  3763 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY due to subtle change in file lookup: use
  3764 explicit paths, relatively to the theory.
  3765 
  3766 * Special treatment of ML file names has been discontinued.
  3767 Historically, optional extensions .ML or .sml were added on demand --
  3768 at the cost of clarity of file dependencies.  Recall that Isabelle/ML
  3769 files exclusively use the .ML extension.  Minor INCOMPATIBILTY.
  3770 
  3771 * Various options that affect pretty printing etc. are now properly
  3772 handled within the context via configuration options, instead of
  3773 unsynchronized references or print modes.  There are both ML Config.T
  3774 entities and Isar declaration attributes to access these.
  3775 
  3776   ML (Config.T)                 Isar (attribute)
  3777 
  3778   eta_contract                  eta_contract
  3779   show_brackets                 show_brackets
  3780   show_sorts                    show_sorts
  3781   show_types                    show_types
  3782   show_question_marks           show_question_marks
  3783   show_consts                   show_consts
  3784   show_abbrevs                  show_abbrevs
  3785 
  3786   Syntax.ast_trace              syntax_ast_trace
  3787   Syntax.ast_stat               syntax_ast_stat
  3788   Syntax.ambiguity_level        syntax_ambiguity_level
  3789 
  3790   Goal_Display.goals_limit      goals_limit
  3791   Goal_Display.show_main_goal   show_main_goal
  3792 
  3793   Method.rule_trace             rule_trace
  3794 
  3795   Thy_Output.display            thy_output_display
  3796   Thy_Output.quotes             thy_output_quotes
  3797   Thy_Output.indent             thy_output_indent
  3798   Thy_Output.source             thy_output_source
  3799   Thy_Output.break              thy_output_break
  3800 
  3801 Note that corresponding "..._default" references in ML may only be
  3802 changed globally at the ROOT session setup, but *not* within a theory.
  3803 The option "show_abbrevs" supersedes the former print mode
  3804 "no_abbrevs" with inverted meaning.
  3805 
  3806 * More systematic naming of some configuration options.
  3807 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3808 
  3809   trace_simp  ~>  simp_trace
  3810   debug_simp  ~>  simp_debug
  3811 
  3812 * Support for real valued configuration options, using simplistic
  3813 floating-point notation that coincides with the inner syntax for
  3814 float_token.
  3815 
  3816 * Support for real valued preferences (with approximative PGIP type):
  3817 front-ends need to accept "pgint" values in float notation.
  3818 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3819 
  3820 * The IsabelleText font now includes Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic from
  3821 DejaVu Sans.
  3822 
  3823 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.0 and 5.1 versions.
  3824 
  3825 
  3826 *** Pure ***
  3827 
  3828 * Command 'type_synonym' (with single argument) replaces somewhat
  3829 outdated 'types', which is still available as legacy feature for some
  3830 time.
  3831 
  3832 * Command 'nonterminal' (with 'and' separated list of arguments)
  3833 replaces somewhat outdated 'nonterminals'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3834 
  3835 * Command 'notepad' replaces former 'example_proof' for
  3836 experimentation in Isar without any result.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3837 
  3838 * Locale interpretation commands 'interpret' and 'sublocale' accept
  3839 lists of equations to map definitions in a locale to appropriate
  3840 entities in the context of the interpretation.  The 'interpretation'
  3841 command already provided this functionality.
  3842 
  3843 * Diagnostic command 'print_dependencies' prints the locale instances
  3844 that would be activated if the specified expression was interpreted in
  3845 the current context.  Variant "print_dependencies!" assumes a context
  3846 without interpretations.
  3847 
  3848 * Diagnostic command 'print_interps' prints interpretations in proofs
  3849 in addition to interpretations in theories.
  3850 
  3851 * Discontinued obsolete 'global' and 'local' commands to manipulate
  3852 the theory name space.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.  The ML functions
  3853 Sign.root_path and Sign.local_path may be applied directly where this
  3854 feature is still required for historical reasons.
  3855 
  3856 * Discontinued obsolete 'constdefs' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  3857 'definition' instead.
  3858 
  3859 * The "prems" fact, which refers to the accidental collection of
  3860 foundational premises in the context, is now explicitly marked as
  3861 legacy feature and will be discontinued soon.  Consider using "assms"
  3862 of the head statement or reference facts by explicit names.
  3863 
  3864 * Document antiquotations @{class} and @{type} print classes and type
  3865 constructors.
  3866 
  3867 * Document antiquotation @{file} checks file/directory entries within
  3868 the local file system.
  3869 
  3870 
  3871 *** HOL ***
  3872 
  3873 * Coercive subtyping: functions can be declared as coercions and type
  3874 inference will add them as necessary upon input of a term.  Theory
  3875 Complex_Main declares real :: nat => real and real :: int => real as
  3876 coercions. A coercion function f is declared like this:
  3877 
  3878   declare [[coercion f]]
  3879 
  3880 To lift coercions through type constructors (e.g. from nat => real to
  3881 nat list => real list), map functions can be declared, e.g.
  3882 
  3883   declare [[coercion_map map]]
  3884 
  3885 Currently coercion inference is activated only in theories including
  3886 real numbers, i.e. descendants of Complex_Main.  This is controlled by
  3887 the configuration option "coercion_enabled", e.g. it can be enabled in
  3888 other theories like this:
  3889 
  3890   declare [[coercion_enabled]]
  3891 
  3892 * Command 'partial_function' provides basic support for recursive
  3893 function definitions over complete partial orders.  Concrete instances
  3894 are provided for i) the option type, ii) tail recursion on arbitrary
  3895 types, and iii) the heap monad of Imperative_HOL.  See
  3896 src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy and src/HOL/Imperative_HOL/ex/Linked_Lists.thy
  3897 for examples.
  3898 
  3899 * Function package: f.psimps rules are no longer implicitly declared
  3900 as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3901 
  3902 * Datatype package: theorems generated for executable equality (class
  3903 "eq") carry proper names and are treated as default code equations.
  3904 
  3905 * Inductive package: now offers command 'inductive_simps' to
  3906 automatically derive instantiated and simplified equations for
  3907 inductive predicates, similar to 'inductive_cases'.
  3908 
  3909 * Command 'enriched_type' allows to register properties of the
  3910 functorial structure of types.
  3911 
  3912 * Improved infrastructure for term evaluation using code generator
  3913 techniques, in particular static evaluation conversions.
  3914 
  3915 * Code generator: Scala (2.8 or higher) has been added to the target
  3916 languages.
  3917 
  3918 * Code generator: globbing constant expressions "*" and "Theory.*"
  3919 have been replaced by the more idiomatic "_" and "Theory._".
  3920 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3921 
  3922 * Code generator: export_code without explicit file declaration prints
  3923 to standard output.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3924 
  3925 * Code generator: do not print function definitions for case
  3926 combinators any longer.
  3927 
  3928 * Code generator: simplification with rules determined with
  3929 src/Tools/Code/code_simp.ML and method "code_simp".
  3930 
  3931 * Code generator for records: more idiomatic representation of record
  3932 types.  Warning: records are not covered by ancient SML code
  3933 generation any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  In cases of need, a suitable
  3934 rep_datatype declaration helps to succeed then:
  3935 
  3936   record 'a foo = ...
  3937   ...
  3938   rep_datatype foo_ext ...
  3939 
  3940 * Records: logical foundation type for records does not carry a
  3941 '_type' suffix any longer (obsolete due to authentic syntax).
  3942 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3943 
  3944 * Quickcheck now by default uses exhaustive testing instead of random
  3945 testing.  Random testing can be invoked by "quickcheck [random]",
  3946 exhaustive testing by "quickcheck [exhaustive]".
  3947 
  3948 * Quickcheck instantiates polymorphic types with small finite
  3949 datatypes by default. This enables a simple execution mechanism to
  3950 handle quantifiers and function equality over the finite datatypes.
  3951 
  3952 * Quickcheck random generator has been renamed from "code" to
  3953 "random".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3954 
  3955 * Quickcheck now has a configurable time limit which is set to 30
  3956 seconds by default. This can be changed by adding [timeout = n] to the
  3957 quickcheck command. The time limit for Auto Quickcheck is still set
  3958 independently.
  3959 
  3960 * Quickcheck in locales considers interpretations of that locale for
  3961 counter example search.
  3962 
  3963 * Sledgehammer:
  3964   - Added "smt" and "remote_smt" provers based on the "smt" proof
  3965     method. See the Sledgehammer manual for details ("isabelle doc
  3966     sledgehammer").
  3967   - Renamed commands:
  3968     sledgehammer atp_info ~> sledgehammer running_provers
  3969     sledgehammer atp_kill ~> sledgehammer kill_provers
  3970     sledgehammer available_atps ~> sledgehammer available_provers
  3971     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3972   - Renamed options:
  3973     sledgehammer [atps = ...] ~> sledgehammer [provers = ...]
  3974     sledgehammer [atp = ...] ~> sledgehammer [prover = ...]
  3975     sledgehammer [timeout = 77 s] ~> sledgehammer [timeout = 77]
  3976     (and "ms" and "min" are no longer supported)
  3977     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3978 
  3979 * Nitpick:
  3980   - Renamed options:
  3981     nitpick [timeout = 77 s] ~> nitpick [timeout = 77]
  3982     nitpick [tac_timeout = 777 ms] ~> nitpick [tac_timeout = 0.777]
  3983     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3984   - Added support for partial quotient types.
  3985   - Added local versions of the "Nitpick.register_xxx" functions.
  3986   - Added "whack" option.
  3987   - Allow registration of quotient types as codatatypes.
  3988   - Improved "merge_type_vars" option to merge more types.
  3989   - Removed unsound "fast_descrs" option.
  3990   - Added custom symmetry breaking for datatypes, making it possible to reach
  3991     higher cardinalities.
  3992   - Prevent the expansion of too large definitions.
  3993 
  3994 * Proof methods "metis" and "meson" now have configuration options
  3995 "meson_trace", "metis_trace", and "metis_verbose" that can be enabled
  3996 to diagnose these tools. E.g.
  3997 
  3998     using [[metis_trace = true]]
  3999 
  4000 * Auto Solve: Renamed "Auto Solve Direct".  The tool is now available
  4001 manually as command 'solve_direct'.
  4002 
  4003 * The default SMT solver Z3 must be enabled explicitly (due to
  4004 licensing issues) by setting the environment variable
  4005 Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL in etc/settings of the component, for example.  For
  4006 commercial applications, the SMT solver CVC3 is provided as fall-back;
  4007 changing the SMT solver is done via the configuration option
  4008 "smt_solver".
  4009 
  4010 * Remote SMT solvers need to be referred to by the "remote_" prefix,
  4011 i.e. "remote_cvc3" and "remote_z3".
  4012 
  4013 * Added basic SMT support for datatypes, records, and typedefs using
  4014 the oracle mode (no proofs).  Direct support of pairs has been dropped
  4015 in exchange (pass theorems fst_conv snd_conv pair_collapse to the SMT
  4016 support for a similar behavior).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4017 
  4018 * Changed SMT configuration options:
  4019   - Renamed:
  4020     z3_proofs ~> smt_oracle (with inverted meaning)
  4021     z3_trace_assms ~> smt_trace_used_facts
  4022     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4023   - Added:
  4024     smt_verbose
  4025     smt_random_seed
  4026     smt_datatypes
  4027     smt_infer_triggers
  4028     smt_monomorph_limit
  4029     cvc3_options
  4030     remote_cvc3_options
  4031     remote_z3_options
  4032     yices_options
  4033 
  4034 * Boogie output files (.b2i files) need to be declared in the theory
  4035 header.
  4036 
  4037 * Simplification procedure "list_to_set_comprehension" rewrites list
  4038 comprehensions applied to List.set to set comprehensions.  Occasional
  4039 INCOMPATIBILITY, may be deactivated like this:
  4040 
  4041   declare [[simproc del: list_to_set_comprehension]]
  4042 
  4043 * Removed old version of primrec package.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4044 
  4045 * Removed simplifier congruence rule of "prod_case", as has for long
  4046 been the case with "split".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4047 
  4048 * String.literal is a type, but not a datatype.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4049 
  4050 * Removed [split_format ... and ... and ...] version of
  4051 [split_format].  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4052 
  4053 * Predicate "sorted" now defined inductively, with nice induction
  4054 rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY: former sorted.simps now named sorted_simps.
  4055 
  4056 * Constant "contents" renamed to "the_elem", to free the generic name
  4057 contents for other uses.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4058 
  4059 * Renamed class eq and constant eq (for code generation) to class
  4060 equal and constant equal, plus renaming of related facts and various
  4061 tuning.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4062 
  4063 * Dropped type classes mult_mono and mult_mono1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4064 
  4065 * Removed output syntax "'a ~=> 'b" for "'a => 'b option".
  4066 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4067 
  4068 * Renamed theory Fset to Cset, type Fset.fset to Cset.set, in order to
  4069 avoid confusion with finite sets.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4070 
  4071 * Abandoned locales equiv, congruent and congruent2 for equivalence
  4072 relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use equivI rather than equiv_intro (same
  4073 for congruent(2)).
  4074 
  4075 * Some previously unqualified names have been qualified:
  4076 
  4077   types
  4078     bool ~> HOL.bool
  4079     nat ~> Nat.nat
  4080 
  4081   constants
  4082     Trueprop ~> HOL.Trueprop
  4083     True ~> HOL.True
  4084     False ~> HOL.False
  4085     op & ~> HOL.conj
  4086     op | ~> HOL.disj
  4087     op --> ~> HOL.implies
  4088     op = ~> HOL.eq
  4089     Not ~> HOL.Not
  4090     The ~> HOL.The
  4091     All ~> HOL.All
  4092     Ex ~> HOL.Ex
  4093     Ex1 ~> HOL.Ex1
  4094     Let ~> HOL.Let
  4095     If ~> HOL.If
  4096     Ball ~> Set.Ball
  4097     Bex ~> Set.Bex
  4098     Suc ~> Nat.Suc
  4099     Pair ~> Product_Type.Pair
  4100     fst ~> Product_Type.fst
  4101     snd ~> Product_Type.snd
  4102     curry ~> Product_Type.curry
  4103     op : ~> Set.member
  4104     Collect ~> Set.Collect
  4105 
  4106 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4107 
  4108 * More canonical naming convention for some fundamental definitions:
  4109 
  4110     bot_bool_eq ~> bot_bool_def
  4111     top_bool_eq ~> top_bool_def
  4112     inf_bool_eq ~> inf_bool_def
  4113     sup_bool_eq ~> sup_bool_def
  4114     bot_fun_eq  ~> bot_fun_def
  4115     top_fun_eq  ~> top_fun_def
  4116     inf_fun_eq  ~> inf_fun_def
  4117     sup_fun_eq  ~> sup_fun_def
  4118 
  4119 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4120 
  4121 * More stylized fact names:
  4122 
  4123   expand_fun_eq ~> fun_eq_iff
  4124   expand_set_eq ~> set_eq_iff
  4125   set_ext       ~> set_eqI
  4126   nat_number    ~> eval_nat_numeral
  4127 
  4128 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4129 
  4130 * Refactoring of code-generation specific operations in theory List:
  4131 
  4132   constants
  4133     null ~> List.null
  4134 
  4135   facts
  4136     mem_iff ~> member_def
  4137     null_empty ~> null_def
  4138 
  4139 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that these were not supposed to be used
  4140 regularly unless for striking reasons; their main purpose was code
  4141 generation.
  4142 
  4143 Various operations from the Haskell prelude are used for generating
  4144 Haskell code.
  4145 
  4146 * Term "bij f" is now an abbreviation of "bij_betw f UNIV UNIV".  Term
  4147 "surj f" is now an abbreviation of "range f = UNIV".  The theorems
  4148 bij_def and surj_def are unchanged.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4149 
  4150 * Abolished some non-alphabetic type names: "prod" and "sum" replace
  4151 "*" and "+" respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4152 
  4153 * Name "Plus" of disjoint sum operator "<+>" is now hidden.  Write
  4154 "Sum_Type.Plus" instead.
  4155 
  4156 * Constant "split" has been merged with constant "prod_case"; names of
  4157 ML functions, facts etc. involving split have been retained so far,
  4158 though.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4159 
  4160 * Dropped old infix syntax "_ mem _" for List.member; use "_ : set _"
  4161 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4162 
  4163 * Removed lemma "Option.is_none_none" which duplicates "is_none_def".
  4164 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4165 
  4166 * Former theory Library/Enum is now part of the HOL-Main image.
  4167 INCOMPATIBILITY: all constants of the Enum theory now have to be
  4168 referred to by its qualified name.
  4169 
  4170   enum    ~>  Enum.enum
  4171   nlists  ~>  Enum.nlists
  4172   product ~>  Enum.product
  4173 
  4174 * Theory Library/Monad_Syntax provides do-syntax for monad types.
  4175 Syntax in Library/State_Monad has been changed to avoid ambiguities.
  4176 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4177 
  4178 * Theory Library/SetsAndFunctions has been split into
  4179 Library/Function_Algebras and Library/Set_Algebras; canonical names
  4180 for instance definitions for functions; various improvements.
  4181 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4182 
  4183 * Theory Library/Multiset provides stable quicksort implementation of
  4184 sort_key.
  4185 
  4186 * Theory Library/Multiset: renamed empty_idemp ~> empty_neutral.
  4187 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4188 
  4189 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: introduced a type class for euclidean
  4190 space.  Most theorems are now stated in terms of euclidean spaces
  4191 instead of finite cartesian products.
  4192 
  4193   types
  4194     real ^ 'n ~>  'a::real_vector
  4195               ~>  'a::euclidean_space
  4196               ~>  'a::ordered_euclidean_space
  4197         (depends on your needs)
  4198 
  4199   constants
  4200      _ $ _        ~> _ $$ _
  4201      \<chi> x. _  ~> \<chi>\<chi> x. _
  4202      CARD('n)     ~> DIM('a)
  4203 
  4204 Also note that the indices are now natural numbers and not from some
  4205 finite type. Finite cartesian products of euclidean spaces, products
  4206 of euclidean spaces the real and complex numbers are instantiated to
  4207 be euclidean_spaces.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4208 
  4209 * Session Probability: introduced pextreal as positive extended real
  4210 numbers.  Use pextreal as value for measures.  Introduce the
  4211 Radon-Nikodym derivative, product spaces and Fubini's theorem for
  4212 arbitrary sigma finite measures.  Introduces Lebesgue measure based on
  4213 the integral in Multivariate Analysis.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4214 
  4215 * Session Imperative_HOL: revamped, corrected dozens of inadequacies.
  4216 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4217 
  4218 * Session SPARK (with image HOL-SPARK) provides commands to load and
  4219 prove verification conditions generated by the SPARK Ada program
  4220 verifier.  See also src/HOL/SPARK and src/HOL/SPARK/Examples.
  4221 
  4222 
  4223 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  4224 
  4225 * Theorems for additive ring operations (locale abelian_monoid and
  4226 descendants) are generated by interpretation from their multiplicative
  4227 counterparts.  Names (in particular theorem names) have the mandatory
  4228 qualifier 'add'.  Previous theorem names are redeclared for
  4229 compatibility.
  4230 
  4231 * Structure "int_ring" is now an abbreviation (previously a
  4232 definition).  This fits more natural with advanced interpretations.
  4233 
  4234 
  4235 *** HOLCF ***
  4236 
  4237 * The domain package now runs in definitional mode by default: The
  4238 former command 'new_domain' is now called 'domain'.  To use the domain
  4239 package in its original axiomatic mode, use 'domain (unsafe)'.
  4240 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4241 
  4242 * The new class "domain" is now the default sort.  Class "predomain"
  4243 is an unpointed version of "domain". Theories can be updated by
  4244 replacing sort annotations as shown below.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4245 
  4246   'a::type ~> 'a::countable
  4247   'a::cpo  ~> 'a::predomain
  4248   'a::pcpo ~> 'a::domain
  4249 
  4250 * The old type class "rep" has been superseded by class "domain".
  4251 Accordingly, users of the definitional package must remove any
  4252 "default_sort rep" declarations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4253 
  4254 * The domain package (definitional mode) now supports unpointed
  4255 predomain argument types, as long as they are marked 'lazy'. (Strict
  4256 arguments must be in class "domain".) For example, the following
  4257 domain definition now works:
  4258 
  4259   domain natlist = nil | cons (lazy "nat discr") (lazy "natlist")
  4260 
  4261 * Theory HOLCF/Library/HOL_Cpo provides cpo and predomain class
  4262 instances for types from main HOL: bool, nat, int, char, 'a + 'b,
  4263 'a option, and 'a list.  Additionally, it configures fixrec and the
  4264 domain package to work with these types.  For example:
  4265 
  4266   fixrec isInl :: "('a + 'b) u -> tr"
  4267     where "isInl$(up$(Inl x)) = TT" | "isInl$(up$(Inr y)) = FF"
  4268 
  4269   domain V = VFun (lazy "V -> V") | VCon (lazy "nat") (lazy "V list")
  4270 
  4271 * The "(permissive)" option of fixrec has been replaced with a
  4272 per-equation "(unchecked)" option. See
  4273 src/HOL/HOLCF/Tutorial/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4274 
  4275 * The "bifinite" class no longer fixes a constant "approx"; the class
  4276 now just asserts that such a function exists.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4277 
  4278 * Former type "alg_defl" has been renamed to "defl".  HOLCF no longer
  4279 defines an embedding of type 'a defl into udom by default; instances
  4280 of "bifinite" and "domain" classes are available in
  4281 src/HOL/HOLCF/Library/Defl_Bifinite.thy.
  4282 
  4283 * The syntax "REP('a)" has been replaced with "DEFL('a)".
  4284 
  4285 * The predicate "directed" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4286 
  4287 * The type class "finite_po" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4288 
  4289 * The function "cprod_map" has been renamed to "prod_map".
  4290 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4291 
  4292 * The monadic bind operator on each powerdomain has new binder syntax
  4293 similar to sets, e.g. "\<Union>\<sharp>x\<in>xs. t" represents
  4294 "upper_bind\<cdot>xs\<cdot>(\<Lambda> x. t)".
  4295 
  4296 * The infix syntax for binary union on each powerdomain has changed
  4297 from e.g. "+\<sharp>" to "\<union>\<sharp>", for consistency with set
  4298 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4299 
  4300 * The constant "UU" has been renamed to "bottom".  The syntax "UU" is
  4301 still supported as an input translation.
  4302 
  4303 * Renamed some theorems (the original names are also still available).
  4304 
  4305   expand_fun_below   ~> fun_below_iff
  4306   below_fun_ext      ~> fun_belowI
  4307   expand_cfun_eq     ~> cfun_eq_iff
  4308   ext_cfun           ~> cfun_eqI
  4309   expand_cfun_below  ~> cfun_below_iff
  4310   below_cfun_ext     ~> cfun_belowI
  4311   cont2cont_Rep_CFun ~> cont2cont_APP
  4312 
  4313 * The Abs and Rep functions for various types have changed names.
  4314 Related theorem names have also changed to match. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4315 
  4316   Rep_CFun  ~> Rep_cfun
  4317   Abs_CFun  ~> Abs_cfun
  4318   Rep_Sprod ~> Rep_sprod
  4319   Abs_Sprod ~> Abs_sprod
  4320   Rep_Ssum  ~> Rep_ssum
  4321   Abs_Ssum  ~> Abs_ssum
  4322 
  4323 * Lemmas with names of the form *_defined_iff or *_strict_iff have
  4324 been renamed to *_bottom_iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4325 
  4326 * Various changes to bisimulation/coinduction with domain package:
  4327 
  4328   - Definitions of "bisim" constants no longer mention definedness.
  4329   - With mutual recursion, "bisim" predicate is now curried.
  4330   - With mutual recursion, each type gets a separate coind theorem.
  4331   - Variable names in bisim_def and coinduct rules have changed.
  4332 
  4333 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4334 
  4335 * Case combinators generated by the domain package for type "foo" are
  4336 now named "foo_case" instead of "foo_when".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4337 
  4338 * Several theorems have been renamed to more accurately reflect the
  4339 names of constants and types involved.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4410 
  4411 *** FOL and ZF ***
  4412 
  4413 * All constant names are now qualified internally and use proper
  4414 identifiers, e.g. "IFOL.eq" instead of "op =".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4415 
  4416 
  4417 *** ML ***
  4418 
  4419 * Antiquotation @{assert} inlines a function bool -> unit that raises
  4420 Fail if the argument is false.  Due to inlining the source position of
  4421 failed assertions is included in the error output.
  4422 
  4423 * Discontinued antiquotation @{theory_ref}, which is obsolete since ML
  4424 text is in practice always evaluated with a stable theory checkpoint.
  4425 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use (Theory.check_thy @{theory}) instead.
  4426 
  4427 * Antiquotation @{theory A} refers to theory A from the ancestry of
  4428 the current context, not any accidental theory loader state as before.
  4429 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, subtle change in semantics.
  4430 
  4431 * Syntax.pretty_priority (default 0) configures the required priority
  4432 of pretty-printed output and thus affects insertion of parentheses.
  4433 
  4434 * Syntax.default_root (default "any") configures the inner syntax
  4435 category (nonterminal symbol) for parsing of terms.
  4436 
  4437 * Former exception Library.UnequalLengths now coincides with
  4438 ListPair.UnequalLengths.
  4439 
  4440 * Renamed structure MetaSimplifier to Raw_Simplifier.  Note that the
  4441 main functionality is provided by structure Simplifier.
  4442 
  4443 * Renamed raw "explode" function to "raw_explode" to emphasize its
  4444 meaning.  Note that internally to Isabelle, Symbol.explode is used in
  4445 almost all situations.
  4446 
  4447 * Discontinued obsolete function sys_error and exception SYS_ERROR.
  4448 See implementation manual for further details on exceptions in
  4449 Isabelle/ML.
  4450 
  4451 * Renamed setmp_noncritical to Unsynchronized.setmp to emphasize its
  4452 meaning.
  4453 
  4454 * Renamed structure PureThy to Pure_Thy and moved most of its
  4455 operations to structure Global_Theory, to emphasize that this is
  4456 rarely-used global-only stuff.
  4457 
  4458 * Discontinued Output.debug.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use plain writeln
  4459 instead (or tracing for high-volume output).
  4460 
  4461 * Configuration option show_question_marks only affects regular pretty
  4462 printing of types and terms, not raw Term.string_of_vname.
  4463 
  4464 * ML_Context.thm and ML_Context.thms are no longer pervasive.  Rare
  4465 INCOMPATIBILITY, superseded by static antiquotations @{thm} and
  4466 @{thms} for most purposes.
  4467 
  4468 * ML structure Unsynchronized is never opened, not even in Isar
  4469 interaction mode as before.  Old Unsynchronized.set etc. have been
  4470 discontinued -- use plain := instead.  This should be *rare* anyway,
  4471 since modern tools always work via official context data, notably
  4472 configuration options.
  4473 
  4474 * Parallel and asynchronous execution requires special care concerning
  4475 interrupts.  Structure Exn provides some convenience functions that
  4476 avoid working directly with raw Interrupt.  User code must not absorb
  4477 interrupts -- intermediate handling (for cleanup etc.) needs to be
  4478 followed by re-raising of the original exception.  Another common
  4479 source of mistakes are "handle _" patterns, which make the meaning of
  4480 the program subject to physical effects of the environment.
  4481 
  4482 
  4483 
  4484 New in Isabelle2009-2 (June 2010)
  4485 ---------------------------------
  4486 
  4487 *** General ***
  4488 
  4489 * Authentic syntax for *all* logical entities (type classes, type
  4490 constructors, term constants): provides simple and robust
  4491 correspondence between formal entities and concrete syntax.  Within
  4492 the parse tree / AST representations, "constants" are decorated by
  4493 their category (class, type, const) and spelled out explicitly with
  4494 their full internal name.
  4495 
  4496 Substantial INCOMPATIBILITY concerning low-level syntax declarations
  4497 and translations (translation rules and translation functions in ML).
  4498 Some hints on upgrading:
  4499 
  4500   - Many existing uses of 'syntax' and 'translations' can be replaced
  4501     by more modern 'type_notation', 'notation' and 'abbreviation',
  4502     which are independent of this issue.
  4503 
  4504   - 'translations' require markup within the AST; the term syntax
  4505     provides the following special forms:
  4506 
  4507       CONST c   -- produces syntax version of constant c from context
  4508       XCONST c  -- literally c, checked as constant from context
  4509       c         -- literally c, if declared by 'syntax'
  4510 
  4511     Plain identifiers are treated as AST variables -- occasionally the
  4512     system indicates accidental variables via the error "rhs contains
  4513     extra variables".
  4514 
  4515     Type classes and type constructors are marked according to their
  4516     concrete syntax.  Some old translations rules need to be written
  4517     for the "type" category, using type constructor application
  4518     instead of pseudo-term application of the default category
  4519     "logic".
  4520 
  4521   - 'parse_translation' etc. in ML may use the following
  4522     antiquotations:
  4523 
  4524       @{class_syntax c}   -- type class c within parse tree / AST
  4525       @{term_syntax c}    -- type constructor c within parse tree / AST
  4526       @{const_syntax c}   -- ML version of "CONST c" above
  4527       @{syntax_const c}   -- literally c (checked wrt. 'syntax' declarations)
  4528 
  4529   - Literal types within 'typed_print_translations', i.e. those *not*
  4530     represented as pseudo-terms are represented verbatim.  Use @{class
  4531     c} or @{type_name c} here instead of the above syntax
  4532     antiquotations.
  4533 
  4534 Note that old non-authentic syntax was based on unqualified base
  4535 names, so all of the above "constant" names would coincide.  Recall
  4536 that 'print_syntax' and ML_command "set Syntax.trace_ast" help to
  4537 diagnose syntax problems.
  4538 
  4539 * Type constructors admit general mixfix syntax, not just infix.
  4540 
  4541 * Concrete syntax may be attached to local entities without a proof
  4542 body, too.  This works via regular mixfix annotations for 'fix',
  4543 'def', 'obtain' etc. or via the explicit 'write' command, which is
  4544 similar to the 'notation' command in theory specifications.
  4545 
  4546 * Discontinued unnamed infix syntax (legacy feature for many years) --
  4547 need to specify constant name and syntax separately.  Internal ML
  4548 datatype constructors have been renamed from InfixName to Infix etc.
  4549 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4550 
  4551 * Schematic theorem statements need to be explicitly markup as such,
  4552 via commands 'schematic_lemma', 'schematic_theorem',
  4553 'schematic_corollary'.  Thus the relevance of the proof is made
  4554 syntactically clear, which impacts performance in a parallel or
  4555 asynchronous interactive environment.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4556 
  4557 * Use of cumulative prems via "!" in some proof methods has been
  4558 discontinued (old legacy feature).
  4559 
  4560 * References 'trace_simp' and 'debug_simp' have been replaced by
  4561 configuration options stored in the context. Enabling tracing (the
  4562 case of debugging is similar) in proofs works via
  4563 
  4564   using [[trace_simp = true]]
  4565 
  4566 Tracing is then active for all invocations of the simplifier in
  4567 subsequent goal refinement steps. Tracing may also still be enabled or
  4568 disabled via the ProofGeneral settings menu.
  4569 
  4570 * Separate commands 'hide_class', 'hide_type', 'hide_const',
  4571 'hide_fact' replace the former 'hide' KIND command.  Minor
  4572 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4573 
  4574 * Improved parallelism of proof term normalization: usedir -p2 -q0 is
  4575 more efficient than combinations with -q1 or -q2.
  4576 
  4577 
  4578 *** Pure ***
  4579 
  4580 * Proofterms record type-class reasoning explicitly, using the
  4581 "unconstrain" operation internally.  This eliminates all sort
  4582 constraints from a theorem and proof, introducing explicit
  4583 OFCLASS-premises.  On the proof term level, this operation is
  4584 automatically applied at theorem boundaries, such that closed proofs
  4585 are always free of sort constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools that
  4586 inspect proof terms.
  4587 
  4588 * Local theory specifications may depend on extra type variables that
  4589 are not present in the result type -- arguments TYPE('a) :: 'a itself
  4590 are added internally.  For example:
  4591 
  4592   definition unitary :: bool where "unitary = (ALL (x::'a) y. x = y)"
  4593 
  4594 * Predicates of locales introduced by classes carry a mandatory
  4595 "class" prefix.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4596 
  4597 * Vacuous class specifications observe default sort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4598 
  4599 * Old 'axclass' command has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  4600 'class' instead.
  4601 
  4602 * Command 'code_reflect' allows to incorporate generated ML code into
  4603 runtime environment; replaces immature code_datatype antiquotation.
  4604 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4605 
  4606 * Code generator: simple concept for abstract datatypes obeying
  4607 invariants.
  4608 
  4609 * Code generator: details of internal data cache have no impact on the
  4610 user space functionality any longer.
  4611 
  4612 * Methods "unfold_locales" and "intro_locales" ignore non-locale
  4613 subgoals.  This is more appropriate for interpretations with 'where'.
  4614 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4615 
  4616 * Command 'example_proof' opens an empty proof body.  This allows to
  4617 experiment with Isar, without producing any persistent result.
  4618 
  4619 * Commands 'type_notation' and 'no_type_notation' declare type syntax
  4620 within a local theory context, with explicit checking of the
  4621 constructors involved (in contrast to the raw 'syntax' versions).
  4622 
  4623 * Commands 'types' and 'typedecl' now work within a local theory
  4624 context -- without introducing dependencies on parameters or
  4625 assumptions, which is not possible in Isabelle/Pure.
  4626 
  4627 * Command 'defaultsort' has been renamed to 'default_sort', it works
  4628 within a local theory context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4629 
  4630 
  4631 *** HOL ***
  4632 
  4633 * Command 'typedef' now works within a local theory context -- without
  4634 introducing dependencies on parameters or assumptions, which is not
  4635 possible in Isabelle/Pure/HOL.  Note that the logical environment may
  4636 contain multiple interpretations of local typedefs (with different
  4637 non-emptiness proofs), even in a global theory context.
  4638 
  4639 * New package for quotient types.  Commands 'quotient_type' and
  4640 'quotient_definition' may be used for defining types and constants by
  4641 quotient constructions.  An example is the type of integers created by
  4642 quotienting pairs of natural numbers:
  4643 
  4644   fun
  4645     intrel :: "(nat * nat) => (nat * nat) => bool"
  4646   where
  4647     "intrel (x, y) (u, v) = (x + v = u + y)"
  4648 
  4649   quotient_type int = "nat * nat" / intrel
  4650     by (auto simp add: equivp_def expand_fun_eq)
  4651 
  4652   quotient_definition
  4653     "0::int" is "(0::nat, 0::nat)"
  4654 
  4655 The method "lifting" can be used to lift of theorems from the
  4656 underlying "raw" type to the quotient type.  The example
  4657 src/HOL/Quotient_Examples/FSet.thy includes such a quotient
  4658 construction and provides a reasoning infrastructure for finite sets.
  4659 
  4660 * Renamed Library/Quotient.thy to Library/Quotient_Type.thy to avoid
  4661 clash with new theory Quotient in Main HOL.
  4662 
  4663 * Moved the SMT binding into the main HOL session, eliminating
  4664 separate HOL-SMT session.
  4665 
  4666 * List membership infix mem operation is only an input abbreviation.
  4667 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4668 
  4669 * Theory Library/Word.thy has been removed.  Use library Word/Word.thy
  4670 for future developements; former Library/Word.thy is still present in
  4671 the AFP entry RSAPPS.
  4672 
  4673 * Theorem Int.int_induct renamed to Int.int_of_nat_induct and is no
  4674 longer shadowed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4675 
  4676 * Dropped theorem duplicate comp_arith; use semiring_norm instead.
  4677 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4678 
  4679 * Dropped theorem RealPow.real_sq_order; use power2_le_imp_le instead.
  4680 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4681 
  4682 * Dropped normalizing_semiring etc; use the facts in semiring classes
  4683 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4684 
  4685 * Dropped several real-specific versions of lemmas about floor and
  4686 ceiling; use the generic lemmas from theory "Archimedean_Field"
  4687 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4719 
  4720 * Theory "Finite_Set": various folding_XXX locales facilitate the
  4721 application of the various fold combinators on finite sets.
  4722 
  4723 * Library theory "RBT" renamed to "RBT_Impl"; new library theory "RBT"
  4724 provides abstract red-black tree type which is backed by "RBT_Impl" as
  4725 implementation.  INCOMPATIBILTY.
  4726 
  4727 * Theory Library/Coinductive_List has been removed -- superseded by
  4728 AFP/thys/Coinductive.
  4729 
  4730 * Theory PReal, including the type "preal" and related operations, has
  4731 been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4732 
  4733 * Real: new development using Cauchy Sequences.
  4734 
  4735 * Split off theory "Big_Operators" containing setsum, setprod,
  4736 Inf_fin, Sup_fin, Min, Max from theory Finite_Set.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4737 
  4738 * Theory "Rational" renamed to "Rat", for consistency with "Nat",
  4739 "Int" etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4740 
  4741 * Constant Rat.normalize needs to be qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4742 
  4743 * New set of rules "ac_simps" provides combined assoc / commute
  4744 rewrites for all interpretations of the appropriate generic locales.
  4745 
  4746 * Renamed theory "OrderedGroup" to "Groups" and split theory
  4747 "Ring_and_Field" into theories "Rings" and "Fields"; for more
  4748 appropriate and more consistent names suitable for name prefixes
  4749 within the HOL theories.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4750 
  4751 * Some generic constants have been put to appropriate theories:
  4752   - less_eq, less: Orderings
  4753   - zero, one, plus, minus, uminus, times, abs, sgn: Groups
  4754   - inverse, divide: Rings
  4755 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4756 
  4757 * More consistent naming of type classes involving orderings (and
  4758 lattices):
  4759 
  4760     lower_semilattice                   ~> semilattice_inf

  4796     ordered_semiring_strict             ~> linordered_semiring_strict
  4797 
  4798   The following slightly odd type classes have been moved to a
  4799   separate theory Library/Lattice_Algebras:
  4800 
  4801     lordered_ab_group_add               ~> lattice_ab_group_add
  4802     lordered_ab_group_add_abs           ~> lattice_ab_group_add_abs
  4803     lordered_ab_group_add_meet          ~> semilattice_inf_ab_group_add
  4804     lordered_ab_group_add_join          ~> semilattice_sup_ab_group_add
  4805     lordered_ring                       ~> lattice_ring
  4806 
  4807 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4808 
  4809 * Refined field classes:
  4810   - classes division_ring_inverse_zero, field_inverse_zero,
  4811     linordered_field_inverse_zero include rule inverse 0 = 0 --
  4812     subsumes former division_by_zero class;
  4813   - numerous lemmas have been ported from field to division_ring.
  4814 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4815 
  4816 * Refined algebra theorem collections:
  4817   - dropped theorem group group_simps, use algebra_simps instead;
  4818   - dropped theorem group ring_simps, use field_simps instead;
  4819   - proper theorem collection field_simps subsumes former theorem
  4820     groups field_eq_simps and field_simps;
  4821   - dropped lemma eq_minus_self_iff which is a duplicate for
  4822     equal_neg_zero.
  4823 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4824 
  4825 * Theory Finite_Set and List: some lemmas have been generalized from
  4826 sets to lattices:
  4827 
  4828   fun_left_comm_idem_inter      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_inf
  4829   fun_left_comm_idem_union      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_sup
  4830   inter_Inter_fold_inter        ~> inf_Inf_fold_inf
  4831   union_Union_fold_union        ~> sup_Sup_fold_sup
  4832   Inter_fold_inter              ~> Inf_fold_inf

  4836   INTER_fold_inter              ~> INFI_fold_inf
  4837   UNION_fold_union              ~> SUPR_fold_sup
  4838 
  4839 * Theory "Complete_Lattice": lemmas top_def and bot_def have been
  4840 replaced by the more convenient lemmas Inf_empty and Sup_empty.
  4841 Dropped lemmas Inf_insert_simp and Sup_insert_simp, which are subsumed
  4842 by Inf_insert and Sup_insert.  Lemmas Inf_UNIV and Sup_UNIV replace
  4843 former Inf_Univ and Sup_Univ.  Lemmas inf_top_right and sup_bot_right
  4844 subsume inf_top and sup_bot respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4845 
  4846 * Reorganized theory Multiset: swapped notation of pointwise and
  4847 multiset order:
  4848 
  4849   - pointwise ordering is instance of class order with standard syntax
  4850     <= and <;
  4851   - multiset ordering has syntax <=# and <#; partial order properties
  4852     are provided by means of interpretation with prefix
  4853     multiset_order;
  4854   - less duplication, less historical organization of sections,
  4855     conversion from associations lists to multisets, rudimentary code
  4856     generation;
  4857   - use insert_DiffM2 [symmetric] instead of elem_imp_eq_diff_union,
  4858     if needed.
  4859 
  4860 Renamed:
  4861 
  4862   multiset_eq_conv_count_eq  ~>  multiset_ext_iff
  4863   multi_count_ext  ~>  multiset_ext
  4864   diff_union_inverse2  ~>  diff_union_cancelR
  4865 
  4866 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4867 
  4868 * Theory Permutation: replaced local "remove" by List.remove1.
  4869 
  4870 * Code generation: ML and OCaml code is decorated with signatures.
  4871 
  4872 * Theory List: added transpose.
  4873 
  4874 * Library/Nat_Bijection.thy is a collection of bijective functions
  4875 between nat and other types, which supersedes the older libraries
  4876 Library/Nat_Int_Bij.thy and HOLCF/NatIso.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4907 
  4908 * Sledgehammer:
  4909   - Renamed ATP commands:
  4910     atp_info     ~> sledgehammer running_atps
  4911     atp_kill     ~> sledgehammer kill_atps
  4912     atp_messages ~> sledgehammer messages

  4914     print_atps   ~> sledgehammer available_atps
  4915     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4916   - Added user's manual ("isabelle doc sledgehammer").
  4917   - Added option syntax and "sledgehammer_params" to customize
  4918     Sledgehammer's behavior.  See the manual for details.
  4919   - Modified the Isar proof reconstruction code so that it produces
  4920     direct proofs rather than proofs by contradiction.  (This feature
  4921     is still experimental.)
  4922   - Made Isar proof reconstruction work for SPASS, remote ATPs, and in
  4923     full-typed mode.
  4924   - Added support for TPTP syntax for SPASS via the "spass_tptp" ATP.
  4925 
  4926 * Nitpick:
  4927   - Added and implemented "binary_ints" and "bits" options.
  4928   - Added "std" option and implemented support for nonstandard models.
  4929   - Added and implemented "finitize" option to improve the precision
  4930     of infinite datatypes based on a monotonicity analysis.
  4931   - Added support for quotient types.
  4932   - Added support for "specification" and "ax_specification"
  4933     constructs.
  4934   - Added support for local definitions (for "function" and
  4935     "termination" proofs).
  4936   - Added support for term postprocessors.
  4937   - Optimized "Multiset.multiset" and "FinFun.finfun".
  4938   - Improved efficiency of "destroy_constrs" optimization.
  4939   - Fixed soundness bugs related to "destroy_constrs" optimization and
  4940     record getters.
  4941   - Fixed soundness bug related to higher-order constructors.
  4942   - Fixed soundness bug when "full_descrs" is enabled.
  4943   - Improved precision of set constructs.
  4944   - Added "atoms" option.
  4945   - Added cache to speed up repeated Kodkod invocations on the same
  4946     problems.
  4947   - Renamed "MiniSatJNI", "zChaffJNI", "BerkMinAlloy", and
  4948     "SAT4JLight" to "MiniSat_JNI", "zChaff_JNI", "BerkMin_Alloy", and
  4949     "SAT4J_Light".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4950   - Removed "skolemize", "uncurry", "sym_break", "flatten_prop",
  4951     "sharing_depth", and "show_skolems" options.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4952   - Removed "nitpick_intro" attribute.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4953 
  4954 * Method "induct" now takes instantiations of the form t, where t is not
  4955   a variable, as a shorthand for "x == t", where x is a fresh variable.
  4956   If this is not intended, t has to be enclosed in parentheses.
  4957   By default, the equalities generated by definitional instantiations
  4958   are pre-simplified, which may cause parameters of inductive cases
  4959   to disappear, or may even delete some of the inductive cases.
  4960   Use "induct (no_simp)" instead of "induct" to restore the old
  4961   behaviour. The (no_simp) option is also understood by the "cases"
  4962   and "nominal_induct" methods, which now perform pre-simplification, too.
  4963   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4964 
  4965 
  4966 *** HOLCF ***
  4967 
  4968 * Variable names in lemmas generated by the domain package have
  4969 changed; the naming scheme is now consistent with the HOL datatype
  4970 package.  Some proof scripts may be affected, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4971 
  4972 * The domain package no longer defines the function "foo_copy" for
  4973 recursive domain "foo".  The reach lemma is now stated directly in
  4974 terms of "foo_take".  Lemmas and proofs that mention "foo_copy" must
  4975 be reformulated in terms of "foo_take", INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4976 
  4977 * Most definedness lemmas generated by the domain package (previously
  4978 of the form "x ~= UU ==> foo$x ~= UU") now have an if-and-only-if form
  4979 like "foo$x = UU <-> x = UU", which works better as a simp rule.
  4980 Proofs that used definedness lemmas as intro rules may break,
  4981 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4982 
  4983 * Induction and casedist rules generated by the domain package now
  4984 declare proper case_names (one called "bottom", and one named for each
  4985 constructor).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4986 
  4987 * For mutually-recursive domains, separate "reach" and "take_lemma"
  4988 rules are generated for each domain, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4989 
  4990   foo_bar.reach       ~> foo.reach  bar.reach
  4991   foo_bar.take_lemmas ~> foo.take_lemma  bar.take_lemma
  4992 
  4993 * Some lemmas generated by the domain package have been renamed for
  4994 consistency with the datatype package, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4995 
  4996   foo.ind        ~> foo.induct
  4997   foo.finite_ind ~> foo.finite_induct
  4998   foo.coind      ~> foo.coinduct
  4999   foo.casedist   ~> foo.exhaust
  5000   foo.exhaust    ~> foo.nchotomy
  5001 
  5002 * For consistency with other definition packages, the fixrec package
  5003 now generates qualified theorem names, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5004 
  5005   foo_simps  ~> foo.simps
  5006   foo_unfold ~> foo.unfold
  5007   foo_induct ~> foo.induct
  5008 
  5009 * The "fixrec_simp" attribute has been removed.  The "fixrec_simp"
  5010 method and internal fixrec proofs now use the default simpset instead.
  5011 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5012 
  5013 * The "contlub" predicate has been removed.  Proof scripts should use
  5014 lemma contI2 in place of monocontlub2cont, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5015 
  5016 * The "admw" predicate has been removed, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5017 
  5018 * The constants cpair, cfst, and csnd have been removed in favor of
  5019 Pair, fst, and snd from Isabelle/HOL, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5020 
  5021 
  5022 *** ML ***
  5023 
  5024 * Antiquotations for basic formal entities:
  5025 
  5026     @{class NAME}         -- type class
  5027     @{class_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of the above
  5028 
  5029     @{type_name NAME}     -- logical type
  5030     @{type_abbrev NAME}   -- type abbreviation
  5031     @{nonterminal NAME}   -- type of concrete syntactic category
  5032     @{type_syntax NAME}   -- syntax representation of any of the above
  5033 
  5034     @{const_name NAME}    -- logical constant (INCOMPATIBILITY)
  5035     @{const_abbrev NAME}  -- abbreviated constant
  5036     @{const_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of any of the above
  5037 
  5038 * Antiquotation @{syntax_const NAME} ensures that NAME refers to a raw
  5039 syntax constant (cf. 'syntax' command).
  5040 
  5041 * Antiquotation @{make_string} inlines a function to print arbitrary
  5042 values similar to the ML toplevel.  The result is compiler dependent
  5043 and may fall back on "?" in certain situations.
  5044 
  5045 * Diagnostic commands 'ML_val' and 'ML_command' may refer to
  5046 antiquotations @{Isar.state} and @{Isar.goal}.  This replaces impure
  5047 Isar.state() and Isar.goal(), which belong to the old TTY loop and do
  5048 not work with the asynchronous Isar document model.
  5049 
  5050 * Configuration options now admit dynamic default values, depending on
  5051 the context or even global references.
  5052 
  5053 * SHA1.digest digests strings according to SHA-1 (see RFC 3174).  It
  5054 uses an efficient external library if available (for Poly/ML).
  5055 
  5056 * Renamed some important ML structures, while keeping the old names
  5057 for some time as aliases within the structure Legacy:
  5058 
  5059   OuterKeyword  ~>  Keyword
  5060   OuterLex      ~>  Token
  5061   OuterParse    ~>  Parse
  5062   OuterSyntax   ~>  Outer_Syntax
  5063   PrintMode     ~>  Print_Mode
  5064   SpecParse     ~>  Parse_Spec
  5065   ThyInfo       ~>  Thy_Info
  5066   ThyLoad       ~>  Thy_Load
  5067   ThyOutput     ~>  Thy_Output
  5068   TypeInfer     ~>  Type_Infer
  5069 
  5070 Note that "open Legacy" simplifies porting of sources, but forgetting
  5071 to remove it again will complicate porting again in the future.
  5072 
  5073 * Most operations that refer to a global context are named
  5074 accordingly, e.g. Simplifier.global_context or
  5075 ProofContext.init_global.  There are some situations where a global
  5076 context actually works, but under normal circumstances one needs to
  5077 pass the proper local context through the code!
  5078 
  5079 * Discontinued old TheoryDataFun with its copy/init operation -- data
  5080 needs to be pure.  Functor Theory_Data_PP retains the traditional
  5081 Pretty.pp argument to merge, which is absent in the standard
  5082 Theory_Data version.
  5083 
  5084 * Sorts.certify_sort and derived "cert" operations for types and terms
  5085 no longer minimize sorts.  Thus certification at the boundary of the
  5086 inference kernel becomes invariant under addition of class relations,
  5087 which is an important monotonicity principle.  Sorts are now minimized
  5088 in the syntax layer only, at the boundary between the end-user and the
  5089 system.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY, may have to use Sign.minimize_sort
  5090 explicitly in rare situations.
  5091 
  5092 * Renamed old-style Drule.standard to Drule.export_without_context, to
  5093 emphasize that this is in no way a standard operation.
  5094 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5095 
  5096 * Subgoal.FOCUS (and variants): resulting goal state is normalized as
  5097 usual for resolution.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5098 
  5099 * Renamed varify/unvarify operations to varify_global/unvarify_global
  5100 to emphasize that these only work in a global situation (which is
  5101 quite rare).
  5102 
  5103 * Curried take and drop in library.ML; negative length is interpreted
  5104 as infinity (as in chop).  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5105 
  5106 * Proof terms: type substitutions on proof constants now use canonical
  5107 order of type variables.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools working with proof
  5108 terms.
  5109 
  5110 * Raw axioms/defs may no longer carry sort constraints, and raw defs
  5111 may no longer carry premises.  User-level specifications are
  5112 transformed accordingly by Thm.add_axiom/add_def.
  5113 
  5114 
  5115 *** System ***
  5116 
  5117 * Discontinued special HOL_USEDIR_OPTIONS for the main HOL image;
  5118 ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS applies uniformly to all sessions.  Note that
  5119 proof terms are enabled unconditionally in the new HOL-Proofs image.
  5120 
  5121 * Discontinued old ISABELLE and ISATOOL environment settings (legacy
  5122 feature since Isabelle2009).  Use ISABELLE_PROCESS and ISABELLE_TOOL,
  5123 respectively.
  5124 
  5125 * Old lib/scripts/polyml-platform is superseded by the
  5126 ISABELLE_PLATFORM setting variable, which defaults to the 32 bit
  5127 variant, even on a 64 bit machine.  The following example setting
  5128 prefers 64 bit if available:
  5129 
  5130   ML_PLATFORM="${ISABELLE_PLATFORM64:-$ISABELLE_PLATFORM}"
  5131 
  5132 * The preliminary Isabelle/jEdit application demonstrates the emerging
  5133 Isabelle/Scala layer for advanced prover interaction and integration.
  5134 See src/Tools/jEdit or "isabelle jedit" provided by the properly built
  5135 component.
  5136 
  5137 * "IsabelleText" is a Unicode font derived from Bitstream Vera Mono
  5138 and Bluesky TeX fonts.  It provides the usual Isabelle symbols,
  5139 similar to the default assignment of the document preparation system
  5140 (cf. isabellesym.sty).  The Isabelle/Scala class Isabelle_System
  5141 provides some operations for direct access to the font without asking
  5142 the user for manual installation.
  5143 
  5144 
  5145 
  5146 New in Isabelle2009-1 (December 2009)
  5147 -------------------------------------
  5148 
  5149 *** General ***
  5150 
  5151 * Discontinued old form of "escaped symbols" such as \\<forall>.  Only
  5152 one backslash should be used, even in ML sources.
  5153 
  5154 
  5155 *** Pure ***
  5156 
  5157 * Locale interpretation propagates mixins along the locale hierarchy.
  5158 The currently only available mixins are the equations used to map
  5159 local definitions to terms of the target domain of an interpretation.
  5160 
  5161 * Reactivated diagnostic command 'print_interps'.  Use "print_interps
  5162 loc" to print all interpretations of locale "loc" in the theory.
  5163 Interpretations in proofs are not shown.
  5164 
  5165 * Thoroughly revised locales tutorial.  New section on conditional
  5166 interpretation.
  5167 
  5168 * On instantiation of classes, remaining undefined class parameters
  5169 are formally declared.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5170 
  5171 
  5172 *** Document preparation ***
  5173 
  5174 * New generalized style concept for printing terms: @{foo (style) ...}
  5175 instead of @{foo_style style ...}  (old form is still retained for
  5176 backward compatibility).  Styles can be also applied for
  5177 antiquotations prop, term_type and typeof.
  5178 
  5179 
  5180 *** HOL ***
  5181 
  5182 * New proof method "smt" for a combination of first-order logic with
  5183 equality, linear and nonlinear (natural/integer/real) arithmetic, and
  5184 fixed-size bitvectors; there is also basic support for higher-order
  5185 features (esp. lambda abstractions).  It is an incomplete decision
  5186 procedure based on external SMT solvers using the oracle mechanism;
  5187 for the SMT solver Z3, this method is proof-producing.  Certificates
  5188 are provided to avoid calling the external solvers solely for
  5189 re-checking proofs.  Due to a remote SMT service there is no need for
  5190 installing SMT solvers locally.  See src/HOL/SMT.
  5191 
  5192 * New commands to load and prove verification conditions generated by
  5193 the Boogie program verifier or derived systems (e.g. the Verifying C
  5194 Compiler (VCC) or Spec#).  See src/HOL/Boogie.
  5195 
  5196 * New counterexample generator tool 'nitpick' based on the Kodkod
  5197 relational model finder.  See src/HOL/Tools/Nitpick and
  5198 src/HOL/Nitpick_Examples.
  5199 
  5200 * New commands 'code_pred' and 'values' to invoke the predicate
  5201 compiler and to enumerate values of inductive predicates.
  5202 
  5203 * A tabled implementation of the reflexive transitive closure.
  5204 
  5205 * New implementation of quickcheck uses generic code generator;
  5206 default generators are provided for all suitable HOL types, records
  5207 and datatypes.  Old quickcheck can be re-activated importing theory
  5208 Library/SML_Quickcheck.
  5209 
  5210 * New testing tool Mirabelle for automated proof tools.  Applies
  5211 several tools and tactics like sledgehammer, metis, or quickcheck, to
  5212 every proof step in a theory.  To be used in batch mode via the
  5213 "mirabelle" utility.
  5214 
  5215 * New proof method "sos" (sum of squares) for nonlinear real
  5216 arithmetic (originally due to John Harison). It requires theory
  5217 Library/Sum_Of_Squares.  It is not a complete decision procedure but
  5218 works well in practice on quantifier-free real arithmetic with +, -,
  5219 *, ^, =, <= and <, i.e. boolean combinations of equalities and
  5220 inequalities between polynomials.  It makes use of external
  5221 semidefinite programming solvers.  Method "sos" generates a
  5222 certificate that can be pasted into the proof thus avoiding the need
  5223 to call an external tool every time the proof is checked.  See
  5224 src/HOL/Library/Sum_Of_Squares.
  5225 
  5226 * New method "linarith" invokes existing linear arithmetic decision
  5227 procedure only.
  5228 
  5229 * New command 'atp_minimal' reduces result produced by Sledgehammer.
  5230 
  5231 * New Sledgehammer option "Full Types" in Proof General settings menu.
  5232 Causes full type information to be output to the ATPs.  This slows
  5233 ATPs down considerably but eliminates a source of unsound "proofs"
  5234 that fail later.
  5235 
  5236 * New method "metisFT": A version of metis that uses full type
  5237 information in order to avoid failures of proof reconstruction.
  5238 
  5239 * New evaluator "approximate" approximates an real valued term using
  5240 the same method as the approximation method.
  5241 
  5242 * Method "approximate" now supports arithmetic expressions as
  5243 boundaries of intervals and implements interval splitting and Taylor
  5244 series expansion.
  5245 
  5246 * ML antiquotation @{code_datatype} inserts definition of a datatype
  5247 generated by the code generator; e.g. see src/HOL/Predicate.thy.
  5248 
  5249 * New theory SupInf of the supremum and infimum operators for sets of
  5250 reals.
  5251 
  5252 * New theory Probability, which contains a development of measure
  5253 theory, eventually leading to Lebesgue integration and probability.
  5254 
  5255 * Extended Multivariate Analysis to include derivation and Brouwer's
  5256 fixpoint theorem.
  5257 
  5258 * Reorganization of number theory, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5259   - new number theory development for nat and int, in theories Divides
  5260     and GCD as well as in new session Number_Theory
  5261   - some constants and facts now suffixed with _nat and _int
  5262     accordingly
  5263   - former session NumberTheory now named Old_Number_Theory, including
  5264     theories Legacy_GCD and Primes (prefer Number_Theory if possible)
  5265   - moved theory Pocklington from src/HOL/Library to
  5266     src/HOL/Old_Number_Theory
  5267 
  5268 * Theory GCD includes functions Gcd/GCD and Lcm/LCM for the gcd and
  5269 lcm of finite and infinite sets. It is shown that they form a complete
  5270 lattice.
  5271 
  5272 * Class semiring_div requires superclass no_zero_divisors and proof of
  5273 div_mult_mult1; theorems div_mult_mult1, div_mult_mult2,
  5274 div_mult_mult1_if, div_mult_mult1 and div_mult_mult2 have been
  5275 generalized to class semiring_div, subsuming former theorems
  5276 zdiv_zmult_zmult1, zdiv_zmult_zmult1_if, zdiv_zmult_zmult1 and
  5277 zdiv_zmult_zmult2.  div_mult_mult1 is now [simp] by default.
  5278 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5279 
  5280 * Refinements to lattice classes and sets:
  5281   - less default intro/elim rules in locale variant, more default
  5282     intro/elim rules in class variant: more uniformity
  5283   - lemma ge_sup_conv renamed to le_sup_iff, in accordance with
  5284     le_inf_iff
  5285   - dropped lemma alias inf_ACI for inf_aci (same for sup_ACI and
  5286     sup_aci)
  5287   - renamed ACI to inf_sup_aci
  5288   - new class "boolean_algebra"
  5289   - class "complete_lattice" moved to separate theory
  5290     "Complete_Lattice"; corresponding constants (and abbreviations)
  5291     renamed and with authentic syntax:
  5292     Set.Inf ~>    Complete_Lattice.Inf
  5293     Set.Sup ~>    Complete_Lattice.Sup
  5294     Set.INFI ~>   Complete_Lattice.INFI
  5295     Set.SUPR ~>   Complete_Lattice.SUPR
  5296     Set.Inter ~>  Complete_Lattice.Inter
  5297     Set.Union ~>  Complete_Lattice.Union
  5298     Set.INTER ~>  Complete_Lattice.INTER
  5299     Set.UNION ~>  Complete_Lattice.UNION
  5300   - authentic syntax for
  5301     Set.Pow
  5302     Set.image
  5303   - mere abbreviations:
  5304     Set.empty               (for bot)
  5305     Set.UNIV                (for top)
  5306     Set.inter               (for inf, formerly Set.Int)
  5307     Set.union               (for sup, formerly Set.Un)
  5308     Complete_Lattice.Inter  (for Inf)
  5309     Complete_Lattice.Union  (for Sup)
  5310     Complete_Lattice.INTER  (for INFI)
  5311     Complete_Lattice.UNION  (for SUPR)
  5312   - object-logic definitions as far as appropriate
  5313 
  5314 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Care is required when theorems Int_subset_iff or
  5315 Un_subset_iff are explicitly deleted as default simp rules; then also
  5316 their lattice counterparts le_inf_iff and le_sup_iff have to be
  5317 deleted to achieve the desired effect.
  5318 
  5319 * Rules inf_absorb1, inf_absorb2, sup_absorb1, sup_absorb2 are no simp
  5320 rules by default any longer; the same applies to min_max.inf_absorb1
  5321 etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5322 
  5323 * Rules sup_Int_eq and sup_Un_eq are no longer declared as
  5324 pred_set_conv by default.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5325 
  5326 * Power operations on relations and functions are now one dedicated
  5327 constant "compow" with infix syntax "^^".  Power operation on
  5328 multiplicative monoids retains syntax "^" and is now defined generic
  5329 in class power.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5330 
  5331 * Relation composition "R O S" now has a more standard argument order:
  5332 "R O S = {(x, z). EX y. (x, y) : R & (y, z) : S}".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  5333 rewrite propositions with "S O R" --> "R O S". Proofs may occasionally
  5334 break, since the O_assoc rule was not rewritten like this.  Fix using
  5335 O_assoc[symmetric].  The same applies to the curried version "R OO S".
  5336 
  5337 * Function "Inv" is renamed to "inv_into" and function "inv" is now an
  5338 abbreviation for "inv_into UNIV".  Lemmas are renamed accordingly.
  5339 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5340 
  5341 * Most rules produced by inductive and datatype package have mandatory
  5342 prefixes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5343 
  5344 * Changed "DERIV_intros" to a dynamic fact, which can be augmented by
  5345 the attribute of the same name.  Each of the theorems in the list
  5346 DERIV_intros assumes composition with an additional function and
  5347 matches a variable to the derivative, which has to be solved by the
  5348 Simplifier.  Hence (auto intro!: DERIV_intros) computes the derivative
  5349 of most elementary terms.  Former Maclauren.DERIV_tac and
  5350 Maclauren.deriv_tac should be replaced by (auto intro!: DERIV_intros).
  5351 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5352 
  5353 * Code generator attributes follow the usual underscore convention:
  5354     code_unfold     replaces    code unfold
  5355     code_post       replaces    code post
  5356     etc.
  5357   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5358 
  5359 * Renamed methods:
  5360     sizechange -> size_change
  5361     induct_scheme -> induction_schema
  5362   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5363 
  5364 * Discontinued abbreviation "arbitrary" of constant "undefined".
  5365 INCOMPATIBILITY, use "undefined" directly.
  5366 
  5367 * Renamed theorems:
  5368     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  5369     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1_left -> Suc_eq_plus1_left
  5370     Suc_plus1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  5371     *anti_sym -> *antisym*
  5372     vector_less_eq_def -> vector_le_def
  5373   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5374 
  5375 * Added theorem List.map_map as [simp].  Removed List.map_compose.
  5376 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5377 
  5378 * Removed predicate "M hassize n" (<--> card M = n & finite M).
  5379 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5380 
  5381 
  5382 *** HOLCF ***
  5383 
  5384 * Theory Representable defines a class "rep" of domains that are
  5385 representable (via an ep-pair) in the universal domain type "udom".
  5386 Instances are provided for all type constructors defined in HOLCF.
  5387 
  5388 * The 'new_domain' command is a purely definitional version of the
  5389 domain package, for representable domains.  Syntax is identical to the
  5390 old domain package.  The 'new_domain' package also supports indirect
  5391 recursion using previously-defined type constructors.  See
  5392 src/HOLCF/ex/New_Domain.thy for examples.
  5393 
  5394 * Method "fixrec_simp" unfolds one step of a fixrec-defined constant
  5395 on the left-hand side of an equation, and then performs
  5396 simplification.  Rewriting is done using rules declared with the
  5397 "fixrec_simp" attribute.  The "fixrec_simp" method is intended as a
  5398 replacement for "fixpat"; see src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples.
  5399 
  5400 * The pattern-match compiler in 'fixrec' can now handle constructors
  5401 with HOL function types.  Pattern-match combinators for the Pair
  5402 constructor are pre-configured.
  5403 
  5404 * The 'fixrec' package now produces better fixed-point induction rules
  5405 for mutually-recursive definitions:  Induction rules have conclusions
  5406 of the form "P foo bar" instead of "P <foo, bar>".
  5407 
  5408 * The constant "sq_le" (with infix syntax "<<" or "\<sqsubseteq>") has
  5409 been renamed to "below".  The name "below" now replaces "less" in many
  5410 theorem names.  (Legacy theorem names using "less" are still supported
  5411 as well.)
  5412 
  5413 * The 'fixrec' package now supports "bottom patterns".  Bottom
  5414 patterns can be used to generate strictness rules, or to make
  5415 functions more strict (much like the bang-patterns supported by the
  5416 Glasgow Haskell Compiler).  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  5417 examples.
  5418 
  5419 
  5420 *** ML ***
  5421 
  5422 * Support for Poly/ML 5.3.0, with improved reporting of compiler
  5423 errors and run-time exceptions, including detailed source positions.
  5424 
  5425 * Structure Name_Space (formerly NameSpace) now manages uniquely
  5426 identified entries, with some additional information such as source
  5427 position, logical grouping etc.
  5428 
  5429 * Theory and context data is now introduced by the simplified and
  5430 modernized functors Theory_Data, Proof_Data, Generic_Data.  Data needs
  5431 to be pure, but the old TheoryDataFun for mutable data (with explicit
  5432 copy operation) is still available for some time.
  5433 
  5434 * Structure Synchronized (cf. src/Pure/Concurrent/synchronized.ML)
  5435 provides a high-level programming interface to synchronized state
  5436 variables with atomic update.  This works via pure function
  5437 application within a critical section -- its runtime should be as
  5438 short as possible; beware of deadlocks if critical code is nested,
  5439 either directly or indirectly via other synchronized variables!
  5440 
  5441 * Structure Unsynchronized (cf. src/Pure/ML-Systems/unsynchronized.ML)
  5442 wraps raw ML references, explicitly indicating their non-thread-safe
  5443 behaviour.  The Isar toplevel keeps this structure open, to
  5444 accommodate Proof General as well as quick and dirty interactive
  5445 experiments with references.
  5446 
  5447 * PARALLEL_CHOICE and PARALLEL_GOALS provide basic support for
  5448 parallel tactical reasoning.
  5449 
  5450 * Tacticals Subgoal.FOCUS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PREMS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PARAMS
  5451 are similar to SUBPROOF, but are slightly more flexible: only the
  5452 specified parts of the subgoal are imported into the context, and the
  5453 body tactic may introduce new subgoals and schematic variables.
  5454 
  5455 * Old tactical METAHYPS, which does not observe the proof context, has
  5456 been renamed to Old_Goals.METAHYPS and awaits deletion.  Use SUBPROOF
  5457 or Subgoal.FOCUS etc.
  5458 
  5459 * Renamed functor TableFun to Table, and GraphFun to Graph.  (Since
  5460 functors have their own ML name space there is no point to mark them
  5461 separately.)  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5462 
  5463 * Renamed NamedThmsFun to Named_Thms.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5464 
  5465 * Renamed several structures FooBar to Foo_Bar.  Occasional,
  5466 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5467 
  5468 * Operations of structure Skip_Proof no longer require quick_and_dirty
  5469 mode, which avoids critical setmp.
  5470 
  5471 * Eliminated old Attrib.add_attributes, Method.add_methods and related
  5472 combinators for "args".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use simplified
  5473 Attrib/Method.setup introduced in Isabelle2009.
  5474 
  5475 * Proper context for simpset_of, claset_of, clasimpset_of.  May fall
  5476 back on global_simpset_of, global_claset_of, global_clasimpset_of as
  5477 last resort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5478 
  5479 * Display.pretty_thm now requires a proper context (cf. former
  5480 ProofContext.pretty_thm).  May fall back on Display.pretty_thm_global
  5481 or even Display.pretty_thm_without_context as last resort.
  5482 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5483 
  5484 * Discontinued Display.pretty_ctyp/cterm etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5485 Syntax.pretty_typ/term directly, preferably with proper context
  5486 instead of global theory.
  5487 
  5488 
  5489 *** System ***
  5490 
  5491 * Further fine tuning of parallel proof checking, scales up to 8 cores
  5492 (max. speedup factor 5.0).  See also Goal.parallel_proofs in ML and
  5493 usedir option -q.
  5494 
  5495 * Support for additional "Isabelle components" via etc/components, see
  5496 also the system manual.
  5497 
  5498 * The isabelle makeall tool now operates on all components with
  5499 IsaMakefile, not just hardwired "logics".
  5500 
  5501 * Removed "compress" option from isabelle-process and isabelle usedir;
  5502 this is always enabled.
  5503 
  5504 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 4.x versions.
  5505 
  5506 * Isabelle tool "wwwfind" provides web interface for 'find_theorems'
  5507 on a given logic image.  This requires the lighttpd webserver and is
  5508 currently supported on Linux only.
  5509 
  5510 
  5511 
  5512 New in Isabelle2009 (April 2009)
  5513 --------------------------------
  5514 
  5515 *** General ***
  5516 
  5517 * Simplified main Isabelle executables, with less surprises on
  5518 case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  5519 
  5520   - The main Isabelle tool wrapper is now called "isabelle" instead of
  5521     "isatool."
  5522 
  5523   - The former "isabelle" alias for "isabelle-process" has been
  5524     removed (should rarely occur to regular users).
  5525 
  5526   - The former "isabelle-interface" and its alias "Isabelle" have been
  5527     removed (interfaces are now regular Isabelle tools).
  5528 
  5529 Within scripts and make files, the Isabelle environment variables
  5530 ISABELLE_TOOL and ISABELLE_PROCESS replace old ISATOOL and ISABELLE,
  5531 respectively.  (The latter are still available as legacy feature.)
  5532 
  5533 The old isabelle-interface wrapper could react in confusing ways if
  5534 the interface was uninstalled or changed otherwise.  Individual
  5535 interface tool configuration is now more explicit, see also the
  5536 Isabelle system manual.  In particular, Proof General is now available
  5537 via "isabelle emacs".
  5538 
  5539 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt derivative scripts.  Users may need to
  5540 purge installed copies of Isabelle executables and re-run "isabelle
  5541 install -p ...", or use symlinks.
  5542 
  5543 * The default for ISABELLE_HOME_USER is now ~/.isabelle instead of the
  5544 old ~/isabelle, which was slightly non-standard and apt to cause
  5545 surprises on case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  5546 
  5547 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to move existing ~/isabelle/etc,
  5548 ~/isabelle/heaps, ~/isabelle/browser_info to the new place.  Special
  5549 care is required when using older releases of Isabelle.  Note that
  5550 ISABELLE_HOME_USER can be changed in Isabelle/etc/settings of any
  5551 Isabelle distribution, in order to use the new ~/.isabelle uniformly.
  5552 
  5553 * Proofs of fully specified statements are run in parallel on
  5554 multi-core systems.  A speedup factor of 2.5 to 3.2 can be expected on
  5555 a regular 4-core machine, if the initial heap space is made reasonably
  5556 large (cf. Poly/ML option -H).  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  5557 
  5558 * The main reference manuals ("isar-ref", "implementation", and
  5559 "system") have been updated and extended.  Formally checked references
  5560 as hyperlinks are now available uniformly.
  5561 
  5562 
  5563 *** Pure ***
  5564 
  5565 * Complete re-implementation of locales.  INCOMPATIBILITY in several
  5566 respects.  The most important changes are listed below.  See the
  5567 Tutorial on Locales ("locales" manual) for details.
  5568 
  5569 - In locale expressions, instantiation replaces renaming.  Parameters
  5570 must be declared in a for clause.  To aid compatibility with previous
  5571 parameter inheritance, in locale declarations, parameters that are not
  5572 'touched' (instantiation position "_" or omitted) are implicitly added
  5573 with their syntax at the beginning of the for clause.
  5574 
  5575 - Syntax from abbreviations and definitions in locales is available in
  5576 locale expressions and context elements.  The latter is particularly
  5577 useful in locale declarations.
  5578 
  5579 - More flexible mechanisms to qualify names generated by locale
  5580 expressions.  Qualifiers (prefixes) may be specified in locale
  5581 expressions, and can be marked as mandatory (syntax: "name!:") or
  5582 optional (syntax "name?:").  The default depends for plain "name:"
  5583 depends on the situation where a locale expression is used: in
  5584 commands 'locale' and 'sublocale' prefixes are optional, in
  5585 'interpretation' and 'interpret' prefixes are mandatory.  The old
  5586 implicit qualifiers derived from the parameter names of a locale are
  5587 no longer generated.
  5588 
  5589 - Command "sublocale l < e" replaces "interpretation l < e".  The
  5590 instantiation clause in "interpretation" and "interpret" (square
  5591 brackets) is no longer available.  Use locale expressions.
  5592 
  5593 - When converting proof scripts, mandatory qualifiers in
  5594 'interpretation' and 'interpret' should be retained by default, even
  5595 if this is an INCOMPATIBILITY compared to former behavior.  In the
  5596 worst case, use the "name?:" form for non-mandatory ones.  Qualifiers
  5597 in locale expressions range over a single locale instance only.
  5598 
  5599 - Dropped locale element "includes".  This is a major INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5600 In existing theorem specifications replace the includes element by the
  5601 respective context elements of the included locale, omitting those
  5602 that are already present in the theorem specification.  Multiple
  5603 assume elements of a locale should be replaced by a single one
  5604 involving the locale predicate.  In the proof body, declarations (most
  5605 notably theorems) may be regained by interpreting the respective
  5606 locales in the proof context as required (command "interpret").
  5607 
  5608 If using "includes" in replacement of a target solely because the
  5609 parameter types in the theorem are not as general as in the target,
  5610 consider declaring a new locale with additional type constraints on
  5611 the parameters (context element "constrains").
  5612 
  5613 - Discontinued "locale (open)".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5614 
  5615 - Locale interpretation commands no longer attempt to simplify goal.
  5616 INCOMPATIBILITY: in rare situations the generated goal differs.  Use
  5617 methods intro_locales and unfold_locales to clarify.
  5618 
  5619 - Locale interpretation commands no longer accept interpretation
  5620 attributes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5621 
  5622 * Class declaration: so-called "base sort" must not be given in import
  5623 list any longer, but is inferred from the specification.  Particularly
  5624 in HOL, write
  5625 
  5626     class foo = ...
  5627 
  5628 instead of
  5629 
  5630     class foo = type + ...
  5631 
  5632 * Class target: global versions of theorems stemming do not carry a
  5633 parameter prefix any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5634 
  5635 * Class 'instance' command no longer accepts attached definitions.
  5636 INCOMPATIBILITY, use proper 'instantiation' target instead.
  5637 
  5638 * Recovered hiding of consts, which was accidentally broken in
  5639 Isabelle2007.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, ``hide const c'' really
  5640 makes c inaccessible; consider using ``hide (open) const c'' instead.
  5641 
  5642 * Slightly more coherent Pure syntax, with updated documentation in
  5643 isar-ref manual.  Removed locales meta_term_syntax and
  5644 meta_conjunction_syntax: TERM and &&& (formerly &&) are now permanent,
  5645 INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations.  Note that &&& should not be used
  5646 directly in regular applications.
  5647 
  5648 * There is a new syntactic category "float_const" for signed decimal
  5649 fractions (e.g. 123.45 or -123.45).
  5650 
  5651 * Removed exotic 'token_translation' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML
  5652 interface with 'setup' command instead.
  5653 
  5654 * Command 'local_setup' is similar to 'setup', but operates on a local
  5655 theory context.
  5656 
  5657 * The 'axiomatization' command now only works within a global theory
  5658 context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5659 
  5660 * Goal-directed proof now enforces strict proof irrelevance wrt. sort
  5661 hypotheses.  Sorts required in the course of reasoning need to be
  5662 covered by the constraints in the initial statement, completed by the
  5663 type instance information of the background theory.  Non-trivial sort
  5664 hypotheses, which rarely occur in practice, may be specified via
  5665 vacuous propositions of the form SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::c).  For example:
  5666 
  5667   lemma assumes "SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::empty)" shows False ...
  5668 
  5669 The result contains an implicit sort hypotheses as before --
  5670 SORT_CONSTRAINT premises are eliminated as part of the canonical rule
  5671 normalization.
  5672 
  5673 * Generalized Isar history, with support for linear undo, direct state
  5674 addressing etc.
  5675 
  5676 * Changed defaults for unify configuration options:
  5677 
  5678   unify_trace_bound = 50 (formerly 25)
  5679   unify_search_bound = 60 (formerly 30)
  5680 
  5681 * Different bookkeeping for code equations (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  5682 
  5683   a) On theory merge, the last set of code equations for a particular
  5684      constant is taken (in accordance with the policy applied by other
  5685      parts of the code generator framework).
  5686 
  5687   b) Code equations stemming from explicit declarations (e.g. code
  5688      attribute) gain priority over default code equations stemming
  5689      from definition, primrec, fun etc.
  5690 
  5691 * Keyword 'code_exception' now named 'code_abort'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5692 
  5693 * Unified theorem tables for both code generators.  Thus [code
  5694 func] has disappeared and only [code] remains.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5695 
  5696 * Command 'find_consts' searches for constants based on type and name
  5697 patterns, e.g.
  5698 
  5699     find_consts "_ => bool"
  5700 
  5701 By default, matching is against subtypes, but it may be restricted to
  5702 the whole type.  Searching by name is possible.  Multiple queries are
  5703 conjunctive and queries may be negated by prefixing them with a
  5704 hyphen:
  5705 
  5706     find_consts strict: "_ => bool" name: "Int" -"int => int"
  5707 
  5708 * New 'find_theorems' criterion "solves" matches theorems that
  5709 directly solve the current goal (modulo higher-order unification).
  5710 
  5711 * Auto solve feature for main theorem statements: whenever a new goal
  5712 is stated, "find_theorems solves" is called; any theorems that could
  5713 solve the lemma directly are listed as part of the goal state.
  5714 Cf. associated options in Proof General Isabelle settings menu,
  5715 enabled by default, with reasonable timeout for pathological cases of
  5716 higher-order unification.
  5717 
  5718 
  5719 *** Document preparation ***
  5720 
  5721 * Antiquotation @{lemma} now imitates a regular terminal proof,
  5722 demanding keyword 'by' and supporting the full method expression
  5723 syntax just like the Isar command 'by'.
  5724 
  5725 
  5726 *** HOL ***
  5727 
  5728 * Integrated main parts of former image HOL-Complex with HOL.  Entry
  5729 points Main and Complex_Main remain as before.
  5730 
  5731 * Logic image HOL-Plain provides a minimal HOL with the most important
  5732 tools available (inductive, datatype, primrec, ...).  This facilitates
  5733 experimentation and tool development.  Note that user applications
  5734 (and library theories) should never refer to anything below theory
  5735 Main, as before.
  5736 
  5737 * Logic image HOL-Main stops at theory Main, and thus facilitates
  5738 experimentation due to shorter build times.
  5739 
  5740 * Logic image HOL-NSA contains theories of nonstandard analysis which
  5741 were previously part of former HOL-Complex.  Entry point Hyperreal
  5742 remains valid, but theories formerly using Complex_Main should now use
  5743 new entry point Hypercomplex.
  5744 
  5745 * Generic ATP manager for Sledgehammer, based on ML threads instead of
  5746 Posix processes.  Avoids potentially expensive forking of the ML
  5747 process.  New thread-based implementation also works on non-Unix
  5748 platforms (Cygwin).  Provers are no longer hardwired, but defined
  5749 within the theory via plain ML wrapper functions.  Basic Sledgehammer
  5750 commands are covered in the isar-ref manual.
  5751 
  5752 * Wrapper scripts for remote SystemOnTPTP service allows to use
  5753 sledgehammer without local ATP installation (Vampire etc.). Other
  5754 provers may be included via suitable ML wrappers, see also
  5755 src/HOL/ATP_Linkup.thy.
  5756 
  5757 * ATP selection (E/Vampire/Spass) is now via Proof General's settings
  5758 menu.
  5759 
  5760 * The metis method no longer fails because the theorem is too trivial
  5761 (contains the empty clause).
  5762 
  5763 * The metis method now fails in the usual manner, rather than raising
  5764 an exception, if it determines that it cannot prove the theorem.
  5765 
  5766 * Method "coherent" implements a prover for coherent logic (see also
  5767 src/Tools/coherent.ML).
  5768 
  5769 * Constants "undefined" and "default" replace "arbitrary".  Usually
  5770 "undefined" is the right choice to replace "arbitrary", though
  5771 logically there is no difference.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5772 
  5773 * Command "value" now integrates different evaluation mechanisms.  The
  5774 result of the first successful evaluation mechanism is printed.  In
  5775 square brackets a particular named evaluation mechanisms may be
  5776 specified (currently, [SML], [code] or [nbe]).  See further
  5777 src/HOL/ex/Eval_Examples.thy.
  5778 
  5779 * Normalization by evaluation now allows non-leftlinear equations.
  5780 Declare with attribute [code nbe].
  5781 
  5782 * Methods "case_tac" and "induct_tac" now refer to the very same rules
  5783 as the structured Isar versions "cases" and "induct", cf. the
  5784 corresponding "cases" and "induct" attributes.  Mutual induction rules
  5785 are now presented as a list of individual projections
  5786 (e.g. foo_bar.inducts for types foo and bar); the old format with
  5787 explicit HOL conjunction is no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  5788 rare situations a different rule is selected --- notably nested tuple
  5789 elimination instead of former prod.exhaust: use explicit (case_tac t
  5790 rule: prod.exhaust) here.
  5791 
  5792 * Attributes "cases", "induct", "coinduct" support "del" option.
  5793 
  5794 * Removed fact "case_split_thm", which duplicates "case_split".
  5795 
  5796 * The option datatype has been moved to a new theory Option.  Renamed
  5797 option_map to Option.map, and o2s to Option.set, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5798 
  5799 * New predicate "strict_mono" classifies strict functions on partial
  5800 orders.  With strict functions on linear orders, reasoning about
  5801 (in)equalities is facilitated by theorems "strict_mono_eq",
  5802 "strict_mono_less_eq" and "strict_mono_less".
  5803 
  5804 * Some set operations are now proper qualified constants with
  5805 authentic syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5806

  5816 * Class complete_lattice with operations Inf, Sup, INFI, SUPR now in
  5817 theory Set.
  5818 
  5819 * Auxiliary class "itself" has disappeared -- classes without any
  5820 parameter are treated as expected by the 'class' command.
  5821 
  5822 * Leibnitz's Series for Pi and the arcus tangens and logarithm series.
  5823 
  5824 * Common decision procedures (Cooper, MIR, Ferrack, Approximation,
  5825 Dense_Linear_Order) are now in directory HOL/Decision_Procs.
  5826 
  5827 * Theory src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation provides the new proof
  5828 method "approximation".  It proves formulas on real values by using
  5829 interval arithmetic.  In the formulas are also the transcendental
  5830 functions sin, cos, tan, atan, ln, exp and the constant pi are
  5831 allowed. For examples see
  5832 src/HOL/Descision_Procs/ex/Approximation_Ex.thy.
  5833 
  5834 * Theory "Reflection" now resides in HOL/Library.
  5835 
  5836 * Entry point to Word library now simply named "Word".
  5837 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5838 
  5839 * Made source layout more coherent with logical distribution
  5840 structure:

  5894 * If methods "eval" and "evaluation" encounter a structured proof
  5895 state with !!/==>, only the conclusion is evaluated to True (if
  5896 possible), avoiding strange error messages.
  5897 
  5898 * Method "sizechange" automates termination proofs using (a
  5899 modification of) the size-change principle.  Requires SAT solver.  See
  5900 src/HOL/ex/Termination.thy for examples.
  5901 
  5902 * Simplifier: simproc for let expressions now unfolds if bound
  5903 variable occurs at most once in let expression body.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5904 
  5905 * Method "arith": Linear arithmetic now ignores all inequalities when
  5906 fast_arith_neq_limit is exceeded, instead of giving up entirely.
  5907 
  5908 * New attribute "arith" for facts that should always be used
  5909 automatically by arithmetic. It is intended to be used locally in
  5910 proofs, e.g.
  5911 
  5912   assumes [arith]: "x > 0"
  5913 
  5914 Global usage is discouraged because of possible performance impact.
  5915 
  5916 * New classes "top" and "bot" with corresponding operations "top" and
  5917 "bot" in theory Orderings; instantiation of class "complete_lattice"
  5918 requires instantiation of classes "top" and "bot".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5919 
  5920 * Changed definition lemma "less_fun_def" in order to provide an
  5921 instance for preorders on functions; use lemma "less_le" instead.
  5922 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5923 
  5924 * Theory Orderings: class "wellorder" moved here, with explicit
  5925 induction rule "less_induct" as assumption.  For instantiation of
  5926 "wellorder" by means of predicate "wf", use rule wf_wellorderI.
  5927 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5928 
  5929 * Theory Orderings: added class "preorder" as superclass of "order".
  5930 INCOMPATIBILITY: Instantiation proofs for order, linorder
  5931 etc. slightly changed.  Some theorems named order_class.* now named
  5932 preorder_class.*.
  5933 
  5934 * Theory Relation: renamed "refl" to "refl_on", "reflexive" to "refl,
  5935 "diag" to "Id_on".
  5936 
  5937 * Theory Finite_Set: added a new fold combinator of type
  5938 
  5939   ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  5940 
  5941 Occasionally this is more convenient than the old fold combinator
  5942 which is now defined in terms of the new one and renamed to
  5943 fold_image.
  5944 
  5945 * Theories Ring_and_Field and OrderedGroup: The lemmas "group_simps"
  5946 and "ring_simps" have been replaced by "algebra_simps" (which can be
  5947 extended with further lemmas!).  At the moment both still exist but
  5948 the former will disappear at some point.
  5949 
  5950 * Theory Power: Lemma power_Suc is now declared as a simp rule in
  5951 class recpower.  Type-specific simp rules for various recpower types
  5952 have been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, rename old lemmas as follows:
  5953 
  5954 rat_power_0    -> power_0
  5955 rat_power_Suc  -> power_Suc
  5956 realpow_0      -> power_0
  5957 realpow_Suc    -> power_Suc
  5958 complexpow_0   -> power_0
  5959 complexpow_Suc -> power_Suc
  5960 power_poly_0   -> power_0
  5961 power_poly_Suc -> power_Suc
  5962 
  5963 * Theories Ring_and_Field and Divides: Definition of "op dvd" has been
  5964 moved to separate class dvd in Ring_and_Field; a couple of lemmas on
  5965 dvd has been generalized to class comm_semiring_1.  Likewise a bunch
  5966 of lemmas from Divides has been generalized from nat to class
  5967 semiring_div.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  This involves the following theorem
  5968 renames resulting from duplicate elimination:
  5969 
  5970     dvd_def_mod ~>          dvd_eq_mod_eq_0
  5971     zero_dvd_iff ~>         dvd_0_left_iff
  5972     dvd_0 ~>                dvd_0_right
  5973     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_DIV ~> div_by_0
  5974     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_MOD ~> mod_by_0
  5975     mult_div ~>             div_mult_self2_is_id
  5976     mult_mod ~>             mod_mult_self2_is_0
  5977 
  5978 * Theory IntDiv: removed many lemmas that are instances of class-based
  5979 generalizations (from Divides and Ring_and_Field).  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  5980 rename old lemmas as follows:
  5981 
  5982 dvd_diff               -> nat_dvd_diff
  5983 dvd_zminus_iff         -> dvd_minus_iff

  5987 mod_mult_distrib_mod   -> mod_mult_eq
  5988 nat_mod_add_left_eq    -> mod_add_left_eq
  5989 nat_mod_add_right_eq   -> mod_add_right_eq
  5990 nat_mod_div_trivial    -> mod_div_trivial

  5996 zdvd_triv_left         -> dvd_triv_left
  5997 zdvd_triv_right        -> dvd_triv_right
  5998 zdvd_zmult_cancel_disj -> dvd_mult_cancel_left
  5999 zmod_eq0_zdvd_iff      -> dvd_eq_mod_eq_0[symmetric]

  6001 zmod_zadd_right_eq     -> mod_add_right_eq
  6002 zmod_zadd_self1        -> mod_add_self1
  6003 zmod_zadd_self2        -> mod_add_self2

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

  7311     FixedPoint.Inf ~> Lattices.complete_lattice_class.Inf
  7312     FixedPoint.Sup ~> Lattices.complete_lattice_class.Sup
  7313     Orderings.min ~> Orderings.ord_class.min
  7314     Orderings.max ~> Orderings.ord_class.max
  7315     Divides.op div ~> Divides.div_class.div
  7316     Divides.op mod ~> Divides.div_class.mod
  7317     Divides.op dvd ~> Divides.div_class.dvd
  7318 
  7319 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Adaptions may be required in the following cases:
  7320 
  7321 a) User-defined constants using any of the names "plus", "minus",
  7322 "times", "less" or "less_eq". The standard syntax translations for
  7323 "+", "-" and "*" may go wrong.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific
  7324 names.
  7325 
  7326 b) Variables named "plus", "minus", "times", "less", "less_eq"
  7327 INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific names.
  7328 
  7329 c) Permutative equations (e.g. "a + b = b + a")
  7330 Since the change of names also changes the order of terms, permutative
  7331 rewrite rules may get applied in a different order. Experience shows
  7332 that this is rarely the case (only two adaptions in the whole Isabelle
  7333 distribution).  INCOMPATIBILITY: rewrite proofs
  7334 
  7335 d) ML code directly refering to constant names
  7336 This in general only affects hand-written proof tactics, simprocs and
  7337 so on.  INCOMPATIBILITY: grep your sourcecode and replace names.
  7338 Consider using @{const_name} antiquotation.
  7339 
  7340 * New class "default" with associated constant "default".
  7341 
  7342 * Function "sgn" is now overloaded and available on int, real, complex
  7343 (and other numeric types), using class "sgn".  Two possible defs of
  7344 sgn are given as equational assumptions in the classes sgn_if and
  7345 sgn_div_norm; ordered_idom now also inherits from sgn_if.
  7346 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7347 
  7348 * Locale "partial_order" now unified with class "order" (cf. theory
  7349 Orderings), added parameter "less".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7350 
  7351 * Renamings in classes "order" and "linorder": facts "refl", "trans" and
  7352 "cases" to "order_refl", "order_trans" and "linorder_cases", to avoid
  7353 clashes with HOL "refl" and "trans".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7354 
  7355 * Classes "order" and "linorder": potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to
  7356 changed order of proof goals in instance proofs.
  7357 
  7358 * The transitivity reasoner for partial and linear orders is set up
  7359 for classes "order" and "linorder".  Instances of the reasoner are available
  7360 in all contexts importing or interpreting the corresponding locales.
  7361 Method "order" invokes the reasoner separately; the reasoner
  7362 is also integrated with the Simplifier as a solver.  Diagnostic
  7363 command 'print_orders' shows the available instances of the reasoner
  7364 in the current context.
  7365 
  7366 * Localized monotonicity predicate in theory "Orderings"; integrated
  7367 lemmas max_of_mono and min_of_mono with this predicate.
  7368 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7369 
  7370 * Formulation of theorem "dense" changed slightly due to integration
  7371 with new class dense_linear_order.
  7372 
  7373 * Uniform lattice theory development in HOL.
  7374 
  7375     constants "meet" and "join" now named "inf" and "sup"
  7376     constant "Meet" now named "Inf"
  7377 
  7378     classes "meet_semilorder" and "join_semilorder" now named
  7379       "lower_semilattice" and "upper_semilattice"
  7380     class "lorder" now named "lattice"
  7381     class "comp_lat" now named "complete_lattice"
  7382 
  7383     Instantiation of lattice classes allows explicit definitions
  7384     for "inf" and "sup" operations (or "Inf" and "Sup" for complete lattices).
  7385 
  7386   INCOMPATIBILITY.  Theorem renames:

  7488 
  7489 * Added syntactic class "size"; overloaded constant "size" now has
  7490 type "'a::size ==> bool"
  7491 
  7492 * Internal reorganisation of `size' of datatypes: size theorems
  7493 "foo.size" are no longer subsumed by "foo.simps" (but are still
  7494 simplification rules by default!); theorems "prod.size" now named
  7495 "*.size".
  7496 
  7497 * Class "div" now inherits from class "times" rather than "type".
  7498 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7499 
  7500 * HOL/Finite_Set: "name-space" locales Lattice, Distrib_lattice,
  7501 Linorder etc.  have disappeared; operations defined in terms of
  7502 fold_set now are named Inf_fin, Sup_fin.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7503 
  7504 * HOL/Nat: neq0_conv no longer declared as iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7505 
  7506 * HOL-Word: New extensive library and type for generic, fixed size
  7507 machine words, with arithmetic, bit-wise, shifting and rotating
  7508 operations, reflection into int, nat, and bool lists, automation for
  7509 linear arithmetic (by automatic reflection into nat or int), including
  7510 lemmas on overflow and monotonicity.  Instantiated to all appropriate
  7511 arithmetic type classes, supporting automatic simplification of
  7512 numerals on all operations.
  7513 
  7514 * Library/Boolean_Algebra: locales for abstract boolean algebras.
  7515 
  7516 * Library/Numeral_Type: numbers as types, e.g. TYPE(32).
  7517 
  7518 * Code generator library theories:
  7519   - Code_Integer represents HOL integers by big integer literals in target
  7520     languages.
  7521   - Code_Char represents HOL characters by character literals in target
  7522     languages.
  7523   - Code_Char_chr like Code_Char, but also offers treatment of character
  7524     codes; includes Code_Integer.
  7525   - Executable_Set allows to generate code for finite sets using lists.
  7526   - Executable_Rat implements rational numbers as triples (sign, enumerator,
  7527     denominator).
  7528   - Executable_Real implements a subset of real numbers, namly those
  7529     representable by rational numbers.
  7530   - Efficient_Nat implements natural numbers by integers, which in general will
  7531     result in higher efficency; pattern matching with 0/Suc is eliminated;
  7532     includes Code_Integer.
  7533   - Code_Index provides an additional datatype index which is mapped to
  7534     target-language built-in integers.
  7535   - Code_Message provides an additional datatype message_string which is isomorphic to
  7536     strings; messages are mapped to target-language strings.
  7537 
  7538 * New package for inductive predicates
  7539 
  7540   An n-ary predicate p with m parameters z_1, ..., z_m can now be defined via
  7541 
  7542     inductive
  7543       p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7544       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7545     where
  7546       rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  7547     | ...
  7548 
  7549   with full support for type-inference, rather than
  7550 
  7551     consts s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7552 
  7553     abbreviation p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7554     where "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7555 
  7556     inductive "s z_1 ... z_m"
  7557     intros
  7558       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7559       ...
  7560 
  7561   For backward compatibility, there is a wrapper allowing inductive
  7562   sets to be defined with the new package via
  7563 
  7564     inductive_set
  7565       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7566       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7567     where
  7568       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7569     | ...
  7570 
  7571   or
  7572 
  7573     inductive_set
  7574       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7575       and p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7576       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7577     where
  7578       "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7579     | rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  7580     | ...
  7581 
  7582   if the additional syntax "p ..." is required.
  7583 
  7584   Numerous examples can be found in the subdirectories src/HOL/Auth,
  7585   src/HOL/Bali, src/HOL/Induct, and src/HOL/MicroJava.
  7586 
  7587   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  7588 
  7589   - Since declaration and definition of inductive sets or predicates
  7590     is no longer separated, abbreviations involving the newly
  7591     introduced sets or predicates must be specified together with the
  7592     introduction rules after the 'where' keyword (see above), rather
  7593     than before the actual inductive definition.
  7594 
  7595   - The variables in induction and elimination rules are now
  7596     quantified in the order of their occurrence in the introduction
  7597     rules, rather than in alphabetical order. Since this may break
  7598     some proofs, these proofs either have to be repaired, e.g. by
  7599     reordering the variables a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i} in Isar 'case'
  7600     statements of the form
  7601 
  7602       case (rule_i a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i})
  7603 
  7604     or the old order of quantification has to be restored by explicitly adding
  7605     meta-level quantifiers in the introduction rules, i.e.
  7606 
  7607       | rule_i: "!!a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i}. ... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_i_1 ... t_i_n"
  7608 
  7609   - The format of the elimination rules is now
  7610 
  7611       p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n ==>
  7612         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  7613         ==> ... ==> P
  7614 
  7615     for predicates and
  7616 
  7617       (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  7618         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  7619         ==> ... ==> P
  7620 
  7621     for sets rather than
  7622 
  7623       x : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  7624         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x = (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) ==> ... ==> P)
  7625         ==> ... ==> P
  7626 
  7627     This may require terms in goals to be expanded to n-tuples
  7628     (e.g. using case_tac or simplification with the split_paired_all
  7629     rule) before the above elimination rule is applicable.
  7630 
  7631   - The elimination or case analysis rules for (mutually) inductive
  7632     sets or predicates are now called "p_1.cases" ... "p_k.cases". The
  7633     list of rules "p_1_..._p_k.elims" is no longer available.
  7634 
  7635 * New package "function"/"fun" for general recursive functions,
  7636 supporting mutual and nested recursion, definitions in local contexts,
  7637 more general pattern matching and partiality. See HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy
  7638 for small examples, and the separate tutorial on the function
  7639 package. The old recdef "package" is still available as before, but
  7640 users are encouraged to use the new package.
  7641 
  7642 * Method "lexicographic_order" automatically synthesizes termination
  7643 relations as lexicographic combinations of size measures.
  7644 
  7645 * Case-expressions allow arbitrary constructor-patterns (including
  7646 "_") and take their order into account, like in functional
  7647 programming.  Internally, this is translated into nested
  7648 case-expressions; missing cases are added and mapped to the predefined
  7649 constant "undefined". In complicated cases printing may no longer show
  7650 the original input but the internal form. Lambda-abstractions allow
  7651 the same form of pattern matching: "% pat1 => e1 | ..." is an
  7652 abbreviation for "%x. case x of pat1 => e1 | ..." where x is a new
  7653 variable.
  7654 
  7655 * IntDef: The constant "int :: nat => int" has been removed; now "int"
  7656 is an abbreviation for "of_nat :: nat => int". The simplification
  7657 rules for "of_nat" have been changed to work like "int" did
  7658 previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  7659   - "of_nat (Suc m)" simplifies to "1 + of_nat m" instead of "of_nat m + 1"
  7660   - of_nat_diff and of_nat_mult are no longer default simp rules
  7661 
  7662 * Method "algebra" solves polynomial equations over (semi)rings using
  7663 Groebner bases. The (semi)ring structure is defined by locales and the
  7664 tool setup depends on that generic context. Installing the method for
  7665 a specific type involves instantiating the locale and possibly adding
  7666 declarations for computation on the coefficients.  The method is
  7667 already instantiated for natural numbers and for the axiomatic class
  7668 of idoms with numerals.  See also the paper by Chaieb and Wenzel at
  7669 CALCULEMUS 2007 for the general principles underlying this
  7670 architecture of context-aware proof-tools.
  7671 
  7672 * Method "ferrack" implements quantifier elimination over
  7673 special-purpose dense linear orders using locales (analogous to
  7674 "algebra"). The method is already installed for class
  7675 {ordered_field,recpower,number_ring} which subsumes real, hyperreal,
  7676 rat, etc.
  7677 
  7678 * Former constant "List.op @" now named "List.append".  Use ML
  7679 antiquotations @{const_name List.append} or @{term " ... @ ... "} to
  7680 circumvent possible incompatibilities when working on ML level.
  7681 
  7682 * primrec: missing cases mapped to "undefined" instead of "arbitrary".
  7683 
  7684 * New function listsum :: 'a list => 'a for arbitrary monoids.
  7685 Special syntax: "SUM x <- xs. f x" (and latex variants)
  7686 
  7687 * New syntax for Haskell-like list comprehension (input only), eg.
  7688 [(x,y). x <- xs, y <- ys, x ~= y], see also src/HOL/List.thy.
  7689 
  7690 * The special syntax for function "filter" has changed from [x :
  7691 xs. P] to [x <- xs. P] to avoid an ambiguity caused by list
  7692 comprehension syntax, and for uniformity.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7693 
  7694 * [a..b] is now defined for arbitrary linear orders.  It used to be
  7695 defined on nat only, as an abbreviation for [a..<Suc b]
  7696 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7697 
  7698 * Renamed lemma "set_take_whileD"  to "set_takeWhileD".
  7699 
  7700 * New functions "sorted" and "sort" in src/HOL/List.thy.
  7701 
  7702 * New lemma collection field_simps (an extension of ring_simps) for
  7703 manipulating (in)equations involving division. Multiplies with all
  7704 denominators that can be proved to be non-zero (in equations) or
  7705 positive/negative (in inequations).
  7706 
  7707 * Lemma collections ring_eq_simps, group_eq_simps and ring_distrib
  7708 have been improved and renamed to ring_simps, group_simps and
  7709 ring_distribs.  Removed lemmas field_xyz in theory Ring_and_Field
  7710 because they were subsumed by lemmas xyz.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7711 
  7712 * Theory Library/Commutative_Ring: switched from recdef to function
  7713 package; constants add, mul, pow now curried.  Infix syntax for
  7714 algebraic operations.
  7715 
  7716 * Dropped redundant lemma def_imp_eq in favor of meta_eq_to_obj_eq.
  7717 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7718 
  7719 * Dropped redundant lemma if_def2 in favor of if_bool_eq_conj.
  7720 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7721 
  7722 * HOL/records: generalised field-update to take a function on the
  7723 field rather than the new value: r(|A := x|) is translated to A_update
  7724 (K x) r The K-combinator that is internally used is called K_record.
  7725 INCOMPATIBILITY: Usage of the plain update functions has to be
  7726 adapted.
  7727 
  7728 * Class "semiring_0" now contains annihilation axioms x * 0 = 0 and 0
  7729 * x = 0, which are required for a semiring.  Richer structures do not
  7730 inherit from semiring_0 anymore, because this property is a theorem
  7731 there, not an axiom.  INCOMPATIBILITY: In instances of semiring_0,
  7732 there is more to prove, but this is mostly trivial.
  7733 
  7734 * Class "recpower" is generalized to arbitrary monoids, not just
  7735 commutative semirings.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to incorporate
  7736 commutativity or semiring properties additionally.
  7737 
  7738 * Constant "List.list_all2" in List.thy now uses authentic syntax.
  7739 INCOMPATIBILITY: translations containing list_all2 may go wrong,
  7740 better use 'abbreviation'.
  7741 
  7742 * Renamed constant "List.op mem" to "List.member".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7743 
  7744 * Numeral syntax: type 'bin' which was a mere type copy of 'int' has
  7745 been abandoned in favour of plain 'int'.  INCOMPATIBILITY --
  7746 significant changes for setting up numeral syntax for types:
  7747   - New constants Numeral.pred and Numeral.succ instead
  7748       of former Numeral.bin_pred and Numeral.bin_succ.
  7749   - Use integer operations instead of bin_add, bin_mult and so on.
  7750   - Numeral simplification theorems named Numeral.numeral_simps instead of Bin_simps.
  7751   - ML structure Bin_Simprocs now named Int_Numeral_Base_Simprocs.
  7752 
  7753 See src/HOL/Integ/IntArith.thy for an example setup.
  7754 
  7755 * Command 'normal_form' computes the normal form of a term that may
  7756 contain free variables.  For example ``normal_form "rev [a, b, c]"''
  7757 produces ``[b, c, a]'' (without proof).  This command is suitable for
  7758 heavy-duty computations because the functions are compiled to ML
  7759 first.  Correspondingly, a method "normalization" is provided.  See
  7760 further src/HOL/ex/NormalForm.thy and src/Tools/nbe.ML.
  7761 
  7762 * Alternative iff syntax "A <-> B" for equality on bool (with priority
  7763 25 like -->); output depends on the "iff" print_mode, the default is
  7764 "A = B" (with priority 50).
  7765 
  7766 * Relations less (<) and less_eq (<=) are also available on type bool.
  7767 Modified syntax to disallow nesting without explicit parentheses,
  7768 e.g. "(x < y) < z" or "x < (y < z)", but NOT "x < y < z".  Potential
  7769 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7770 
  7771 * "LEAST x:A. P" expands to "LEAST x. x:A & P" (input only).
  7772 
  7773 * Relation composition operator "op O" now has precedence 75 and binds
  7774 stronger than union and intersection. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7775 
  7776 * The old set interval syntax "{m..n(}" (and relatives) has been
  7777 removed.  Use "{m..<n}" (and relatives) instead.
  7778 
  7779 * In the context of the assumption "~(s = t)" the Simplifier rewrites
  7780 "t = s" to False (by simproc "neq").  INCOMPATIBILITY, consider using
  7781 ``declare [[simproc del: neq]]''.
  7782 
  7783 * Simplifier: "m dvd n" where m and n are numbers is evaluated to
  7784 True/False.
  7785 
  7786 * Theorem Cons_eq_map_conv no longer declared as "simp".
  7787 
  7788 * Theorem setsum_mult renamed to setsum_right_distrib.
  7789 
  7790 * Prefer ex1I over ex_ex1I in single-step reasoning, e.g. by the
  7791 ``rule'' method.
  7792 
  7793 * Reimplemented methods "sat" and "satx", with several improvements:
  7794 goals no longer need to be stated as "<prems> ==> False", equivalences
  7795 (i.e. "=" on type bool) are handled, variable names of the form
  7796 "lit_<n>" are no longer reserved, significant speedup.
  7797 
  7798 * Methods "sat" and "satx" can now replay MiniSat proof traces.
  7799 zChaff is still supported as well.
  7800 
  7801 * 'inductive' and 'datatype': provide projections of mutual rules,
  7802 bundled as foo_bar.inducts;
  7803 
  7804 * Library: moved theories Parity, GCD, Binomial, Infinite_Set to
  7805 Library.
  7806 
  7807 * Library: moved theory Accessible_Part to main HOL.
  7808 
  7809 * Library: added theory Coinductive_List of potentially infinite lists
  7810 as greatest fixed-point.
  7811 
  7812 * Library: added theory AssocList which implements (finite) maps as
  7813 association lists.
  7814 
  7815 * Method "evaluation" solves goals (i.e. a boolean expression)
  7816 efficiently by compiling it to ML.  The goal is "proved" (via an
  7817 oracle) if it evaluates to True.
  7818 
  7819 * Linear arithmetic now splits certain operators (e.g. min, max, abs)
  7820 also when invoked by the simplifier.  This results in the Simplifier
  7821 being more powerful on arithmetic goals.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7822 Configuration option fast_arith_split_limit=0 recovers the old
  7823 behavior.
  7824 
  7825 * Support for hex (0x20) and binary (0b1001) numerals.
  7826 
  7827 * New method: reify eqs (t), where eqs are equations for an
  7828 interpretation I :: 'a list => 'b => 'c and t::'c is an optional
  7829 parameter, computes a term s::'b and a list xs::'a list and proves the
  7830 theorem I xs s = t. This is also known as reification or quoting. The
  7831 resulting theorem is applied to the subgoal to substitute t with I xs
  7832 s.  If t is omitted, the subgoal itself is reified.
  7833 
  7834 * New method: reflection corr_thm eqs (t). The parameters eqs and (t)
  7835 are as explained above. corr_thm is a theorem for I vs (f t) = I vs t,
  7836 where f is supposed to be a computable function (in the sense of code
  7837 generattion). The method uses reify to compute s and xs as above then
  7838 applies corr_thm and uses normalization by evaluation to "prove" f s =
  7839 r and finally gets the theorem t = r, which is again applied to the
  7840 subgoal. An Example is available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy.
  7841 
  7842 * Reflection: Automatic reification now handels binding, an example is
  7843 available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy
  7844 
  7845 * HOL-Statespace: ``State Spaces: The Locale Way'' introduces a
  7846 command 'statespace' that is similar to 'record', but introduces an
  7847 abstract specification based on the locale infrastructure instead of
  7848 HOL types.  This leads to extra flexibility in composing state spaces,
  7849 in particular multiple inheritance and renaming of components.
  7850 
  7851 
  7852 *** HOL-Complex ***
  7853 
  7854 * Hyperreal: Functions root and sqrt are now defined on negative real
  7855 inputs so that root n (- x) = - root n x and sqrt (- x) = - sqrt x.
  7856 Nonnegativity side conditions have been removed from many lemmas, so
  7857 that more subgoals may now be solved by simplification; potential
  7858 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7859 
  7860 * Real: new type classes formalize real normed vector spaces and
  7861 algebras, using new overloaded constants scaleR :: real => 'a => 'a
  7862 and norm :: 'a => real.
  7863 
  7864 * Real: constant of_real :: real => 'a::real_algebra_1 injects from
  7865 reals into other types. The overloaded constant Reals :: 'a set is now
  7866 defined as range of_real; potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7867 
  7868 * Real: proper support for ML code generation, including 'quickcheck'.
  7869 Reals are implemented as arbitrary precision rationals.
  7870 
  7871 * Hyperreal: Several constants that previously worked only for the
  7872 reals have been generalized, so they now work over arbitrary vector
  7873 spaces. Type annotations may need to be added in some cases; potential
  7874 INCOMPATIBILITY.

  7890   exp            :: 'a::{recpower,real_normed_field,banach} => 'a
  7891 
  7892 * Complex: Some complex-specific constants are now abbreviations for
  7893 overloaded ones: complex_of_real = of_real, cmod = norm, hcmod =
  7894 hnorm.  Other constants have been entirely removed in favor of the
  7895 polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7896 
  7897   approx        <-- capprox
  7898   HFinite       <-- CFinite
  7899   HInfinite     <-- CInfinite
  7900   Infinitesimal <-- CInfinitesimal
  7901   monad         <-- cmonad
  7902   galaxy        <-- cgalaxy
  7903   (NS)LIM       <-- (NS)CLIM, (NS)CRLIM
  7904   is(NS)Cont    <-- is(NS)Contc, is(NS)contCR
  7905   (ns)deriv     <-- (ns)cderiv
  7906 
  7907 
  7908 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  7909 
  7910 * Formalisation of ideals and the quotient construction over rings.
  7911 
  7912 * Order and lattice theory no longer based on records.
  7913 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7914 
  7915 * Renamed lemmas least_carrier -> least_closed and greatest_carrier ->
  7916 greatest_closed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7917 
  7918 * Method algebra is now set up via an attribute.  For examples see
  7919 Ring.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY: the method is now weaker on combinations
  7920 of algebraic structures.
  7921 
  7922 * Renamed theory CRing to Ring.
  7923 
  7924 
  7925 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  7926 
  7927 * Substantial, yet incomplete support for nominal datatypes (binding
  7928 structures) based on HOL-Nominal logic.  See src/HOL/Nominal and
  7929 src/HOL/Nominal/Examples.  Prospective users should consult
  7930 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/nominal/
  7931 
  7932 
  7933 *** ML ***
  7934 
  7935 * ML basics: just one true type int, which coincides with IntInf.int
  7936 (even on SML/NJ).
  7937 
  7938 * ML within Isar: antiquotations allow to embed statically-checked
  7939 formal entities in the source, referring to the context available at
  7940 compile-time.  For example:
  7941 
  7942 ML {* @{sort "{zero,one}"} *}
  7943 ML {* @{typ "'a => 'b"} *}
  7944 ML {* @{term "%x. x"} *}
  7945 ML {* @{prop "x == y"} *}
  7946 ML {* @{ctyp "'a => 'b"} *}
  7947 ML {* @{cterm "%x. x"} *}
  7948 ML {* @{cprop "x == y"} *}
  7949 ML {* @{thm asm_rl} *}
  7950 ML {* @{thms asm_rl} *}
  7951 ML {* @{type_name c} *}
  7952 ML {* @{type_syntax c} *}
  7953 ML {* @{const_name c} *}
  7954 ML {* @{const_syntax c} *}
  7955 ML {* @{context} *}
  7956 ML {* @{theory} *}
  7957 ML {* @{theory Pure} *}
  7958 ML {* @{theory_ref} *}
  7959 ML {* @{theory_ref Pure} *}
  7960 ML {* @{simpset} *}
  7961 ML {* @{claset} *}
  7962 ML {* @{clasimpset} *}
  7963 
  7964 The same works for sources being ``used'' within an Isar context.
  7965 
  7966 * ML in Isar: improved error reporting; extra verbosity with
  7967 ML_Context.trace enabled.
  7968 
  7969 * Pure/General/table.ML: the join operations now works via exceptions
  7970 DUP/SAME instead of type option. This is simpler in simple cases, and
  7971 admits slightly more efficient complex applications.
  7972 
  7973 * Pure: 'advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) now
  7974 use Context.generic instead of just theory.
  7975 
  7976 * Pure: datatype Context.generic joins theory/Proof.context and
  7977 provides some facilities for code that works in either kind of
  7978 context, notably GenericDataFun for uniform theory and proof data.
  7979 
  7980 * Pure: simplified internal attribute type, which is now always
  7981 Context.generic * thm -> Context.generic * thm. Global (theory) vs.
  7982 local (Proof.context) attributes have been discontinued, while
  7983 minimizing code duplication. Thm.rule_attribute and
  7984 Thm.declaration_attribute build canonical attributes; see also structure
  7985 Context for further operations on Context.generic, notably
  7986 GenericDataFun. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt attribute type
  7987 declarations and definitions.
  7988 
  7989 * Context data interfaces (Theory/Proof/GenericDataFun): removed
  7990 name/print, uninitialized data defaults to ad-hoc copy of empty value,
  7991 init only required for impure data. INCOMPATIBILITY: empty really need
  7992 to be empty (no dependencies on theory content!)
  7993 
  7994 * Pure/kernel: consts certification ignores sort constraints given in
  7995 signature declarations. (This information is not relevant to the
  7996 logic, but only for type inference.) SIGNIFICANT INTERNAL CHANGE,
  7997 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7998 
  7999 * Pure: axiomatic type classes are now purely definitional, with
  8000 explicit proofs of class axioms and super class relations performed
  8001 internally. See Pure/axclass.ML for the main internal interfaces --
  8002 notably AxClass.define_class supercedes AxClass.add_axclass, and
  8003 AxClass.axiomatize_class/classrel/arity supersede
  8004 Sign.add_classes/classrel/arities.
  8005 
  8006 * Pure/Isar: Args/Attrib parsers operate on Context.generic --
  8007 global/local versions on theory vs. Proof.context have been
  8008 discontinued; Attrib.syntax and Method.syntax have been adapted
  8009 accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt parser expressions for
  8010 attributes, methods, etc.
  8011 
  8012 * Pure: several functions of signature "... -> theory -> theory * ..."
  8013 have been reoriented to "... -> theory -> ... * theory" in order to
  8014 allow natural usage in combination with the ||>, ||>>, |-> and
  8015 fold_map combinators.
  8016 
  8017 * Pure: official theorem names (closed derivations) and additional
  8018 comments (tags) are now strictly separate.  Name hints -- which are
  8019 maintained as tags -- may be attached any time without affecting the
  8020 derivation.
  8021 
  8022 * Pure: primitive rule lift_rule now takes goal cterm instead of an
  8023 actual goal state (thm).  Use Thm.lift_rule (Thm.cprem_of st i) to
  8024 achieve the old behaviour.
  8025 
  8026 * Pure: the "Goal" constant is now called "prop", supporting a
  8027 slightly more general idea of ``protecting'' meta-level rule
  8028 statements.
  8029 
  8030 * Pure: Logic.(un)varify only works in a global context, which is now
  8031 enforced instead of silently assumed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use
  8032 Logic.legacy_(un)varify as temporary workaround.
  8033 
  8034 * Pure: structure Name provides scalable operations for generating
  8035 internal variable names, notably Name.variants etc.  This replaces
  8036 some popular functions from term.ML:
  8037 
  8038   Term.variant		->  Name.variant
  8039   Term.variantlist	->  Name.variant_list
  8040   Term.invent_names	->  Name.invent_list
  8041 
  8042 Note that low-level renaming rarely occurs in new code -- operations
  8043 from structure Variable are used instead (see below).
  8044 
  8045 * Pure: structure Variable provides fundamental operations for proper
  8046 treatment of fixed/schematic variables in a context.  For example,
  8047 Variable.import introduces fixes for schematics of given facts and
  8048 Variable.export reverses the effect (up to renaming) -- this replaces
  8049 various freeze_thaw operations.
  8050 
  8051 * Pure: structure Goal provides simple interfaces for
  8052 init/conclude/finish and tactical prove operations (replacing former
  8053 Tactic.prove).  Goal.prove is the canonical way to prove results
  8054 within a given context; Goal.prove_global is a degraded version for
  8055 theory level goals, including a global Drule.standard.  Note that
  8056 OldGoals.prove_goalw_cterm has long been obsolete, since it is
  8057 ill-behaved in a local proof context (e.g. with local fixes/assumes or
  8058 in a locale context).
  8059 
  8060 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for parsing (Syntax.parse_term etc.)
  8061 and type checking (Syntax.check_term etc.), with common combinations
  8062 (Syntax.read_term etc.). These supersede former Sign.read_term etc.
  8063 which are considered legacy and await removal.
  8064 
  8065 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for type unchecking
  8066 (Syntax.uncheck_terms etc.) and unparsing (Syntax.unparse_term etc.),
  8067 with common combinations (Syntax.pretty_term, Syntax.string_of_term
  8068 etc.).  Former Sign.pretty_term, Sign.string_of_term etc. are still
  8069 available for convenience, but refer to the very same operations using
  8070 a mere theory instead of a full context.
  8071 
  8072 * Isar: simplified treatment of user-level errors, using exception
  8073 ERROR of string uniformly.  Function error now merely raises ERROR,
  8074 without any side effect on output channels.  The Isar toplevel takes
  8075 care of proper display of ERROR exceptions.  ML code may use plain
  8076 handle/can/try; cat_error may be used to concatenate errors like this:
  8077 
  8078   ... handle ERROR msg => cat_error msg "..."
  8079 
  8080 Toplevel ML code (run directly or through the Isar toplevel) may be
  8081 embedded into the Isar toplevel with exception display/debug like
  8082 this:
  8083 
  8084   Isar.toplevel (fn () => ...)
  8085 
  8086 INCOMPATIBILITY, removed special transform_error facilities, removed
  8087 obsolete variants of user-level exceptions (ERROR_MESSAGE,
  8088 Context.PROOF, ProofContext.CONTEXT, Proof.STATE, ProofHistory.FAIL)
  8089 -- use plain ERROR instead.
  8090 
  8091 * Isar: theory setup now has type (theory -> theory), instead of a
  8092 list.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use #> to compose setup functions.
  8093 
  8094 * Isar: ML toplevel pretty printer for type Proof.context, subject to
  8095 ProofContext.debug/verbose flags.
  8096 
  8097 * Isar: Toplevel.theory_to_proof admits transactions that modify the
  8098 theory before entering a proof state.  Transactions now always see a
  8099 quasi-functional intermediate checkpoint, both in interactive and
  8100 batch mode.
  8101 
  8102 * Isar: simplified interfaces for outer syntax.  Renamed
  8103 OuterSyntax.add_keywords to OuterSyntax.keywords.  Removed
  8104 OuterSyntax.add_parsers -- this functionality is now included in
  8105 OuterSyntax.command etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8106 
  8107 * Simplifier: the simpset of a running simplification process now
  8108 contains a proof context (cf. Simplifier.the_context), which is the
  8109 very context that the initial simpset has been retrieved from (by
  8110 simpset_of/local_simpset_of).  Consequently, all plug-in components
  8111 (solver, looper etc.) may depend on arbitrary proof data.
  8112 
  8113 * Simplifier.inherit_context inherits the proof context (plus the
  8114 local bounds) of the current simplification process; any simproc
  8115 etc. that calls the Simplifier recursively should do this!  Removed
  8116 former Simplifier.inherit_bounds, which is already included here --
  8117 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Tools based on low-level rewriting may even have to
  8118 specify an explicit context using Simplifier.context/theory_context.
  8119 
  8120 * Simplifier/Classical Reasoner: more abstract interfaces
  8121 change_simpset/claset for modifying the simpset/claset reference of a
  8122 theory; raw versions simpset/claset_ref etc. have been discontinued --
  8123 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8124 
  8125 * Provers: more generic wrt. syntax of object-logics, avoid hardwired
  8126 "Trueprop" etc.
  8127 
  8128 
  8129 *** System ***
  8130 
  8131 * settings: the default heap location within ISABELLE_HOME_USER now
  8132 includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER.  This simplifies use of multiple
  8133 Isabelle installations.
  8134 
  8135 * isabelle-process: option -S (secure mode) disables some critical
  8136 operations, notably runtime compilation and evaluation of ML source
  8137 code.
  8138 
  8139 * Basic Isabelle mode for jEdit, see Isabelle/lib/jedit/.
  8140 
  8141 * Support for parallel execution, using native multicore support of
  8142 Poly/ML 5.1.  The theory loader exploits parallelism when processing
  8143 independent theories, according to the given theory header
  8144 specifications. The maximum number of worker threads is specified via
  8145 usedir option -M or the "max-threads" setting in Proof General. A
  8146 speedup factor of 1.5--3.5 can be expected on a 4-core machine, and up
  8147 to 6 on a 8-core machine.  User-code needs to observe certain
  8148 guidelines for thread-safe programming, see appendix A in the Isar
  8149 Implementation manual.
  8150 
  8151 
  8152 
  8153 New in Isabelle2005 (October 2005)
  8154 ----------------------------------
  8155 
  8156 *** General ***
  8157 
  8158 * Theory headers: the new header syntax for Isar theories is
  8159 
  8160   theory <name>
  8161   imports <theory1> ... <theoryN>
  8162   uses <file1> ... <fileM>
  8163   begin
  8164 
  8165 where the 'uses' part is optional.  The previous syntax
  8166 
  8167   theory <name> = <theory1> + ... + <theoryN>:
  8168 
  8169 will disappear in the next release.  Use isatool fixheaders to convert
  8170 existing theory files.  Note that there is no change in ancient
  8171 non-Isar theories now, but these will disappear soon.
  8172 
  8173 * Theory loader: parent theories can now also be referred to via
  8174 relative and absolute paths.
  8175 
  8176 * Command 'find_theorems' searches for a list of criteria instead of a
  8177 list of constants. Known criteria are: intro, elim, dest, name:string,
  8178 simp:term, and any term. Criteria can be preceded by '-' to select
  8179 theorems that do not match. Intro, elim, dest select theorems that
  8180 match the current goal, name:s selects theorems whose fully qualified
  8181 name contain s, and simp:term selects all simplification rules whose
  8182 lhs match term.  Any other term is interpreted as pattern and selects
  8183 all theorems matching the pattern. Available in ProofGeneral under
  8184 'ProofGeneral -> Find Theorems' or C-c C-f.  Example:
  8185 
  8186   C-c C-f (100) "(_::nat) + _ + _" intro -name: "HOL."
  8187 
  8188 prints the last 100 theorems matching the pattern "(_::nat) + _ + _",
  8189 matching the current goal as introduction rule and not having "HOL."
  8190 in their name (i.e. not being defined in theory HOL).
  8191 
  8192 * Command 'thms_containing' has been discontinued in favour of
  8193 'find_theorems'; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8194 
  8195 * Communication with Proof General is now 8bit clean, which means that
  8196 Unicode text in UTF-8 encoding may be used within theory texts (both
  8197 formal and informal parts).  Cf. option -U of the Isabelle Proof
  8198 General interface.  Here are some simple examples (cf. src/HOL/ex):
  8199 
  8200   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Hebrew.html
  8201   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Chinese.html
  8202 
  8203 * Improved efficiency of the Simplifier and, to a lesser degree, the
  8204 Classical Reasoner.  Typical big applications run around 2 times
  8205 faster.
  8206 
  8207 
  8208 *** Document preparation ***
  8209 
  8210 * Commands 'display_drafts' and 'print_drafts' perform simple output
  8211 of raw sources.  Only those symbols that do not require additional
  8212 LaTeX packages (depending on comments in isabellesym.sty) are
  8213 displayed properly, everything else is left verbatim.  isatool display
  8214 and isatool print are used as front ends (these are subject to the
  8215 DVI/PDF_VIEWER and PRINT_COMMAND settings, respectively).
  8216 
  8217 * Command tags control specific markup of certain regions of text,
  8218 notably folding and hiding.  Predefined tags include "theory" (for
  8219 theory begin and end), "proof" for proof commands, and "ML" for
  8220 commands involving ML code; the additional tags "visible" and
  8221 "invisible" are unused by default.  Users may give explicit tag
  8222 specifications in the text, e.g. ''by %invisible (auto)''.  The
  8223 interpretation of tags is determined by the LaTeX job during document
  8224 preparation: see option -V of isatool usedir, or options -n and -t of
  8225 isatool document, or even the LaTeX macros \isakeeptag, \isafoldtag,
  8226 \isadroptag.
  8227 
  8228 Several document versions may be produced at the same time via isatool
  8229 usedir (the generated index.html will link all of them).  Typical
  8230 specifications include ''-V document=theory,proof,ML'' to present
  8231 theory/proof/ML parts faithfully, ''-V outline=/proof,/ML'' to fold
  8232 proof and ML commands, and ''-V mutilated=-theory,-proof,-ML'' to omit
  8233 these parts without any formal replacement text.  The Isabelle site
  8234 default settings produce ''document'' and ''outline'' versions as
  8235 specified above.
  8236 
  8237 * Several new antiquotations:
  8238 
  8239   @{term_type term} prints a term with its type annotated;
  8240 
  8241   @{typeof term} prints the type of a term;
  8242 
  8243   @{const const} is the same as @{term const}, but checks that the
  8244   argument is a known logical constant;
  8245 
  8246   @{term_style style term} and @{thm_style style thm} print a term or
  8247   theorem applying a "style" to it
  8248 
  8249   @{ML text}
  8250 
  8251 Predefined styles are 'lhs' and 'rhs' printing the lhs/rhs of
  8252 definitions, equations, inequations etc., 'concl' printing only the
  8253 conclusion of a meta-logical statement theorem, and 'prem1' .. 'prem19'
  8254 to print the specified premise.  TermStyle.add_style provides an ML
  8255 interface for introducing further styles.  See also the "LaTeX Sugar"
  8256 document practical applications.  The ML antiquotation prints
  8257 type-checked ML expressions verbatim.
  8258 
  8259 * Markup commands 'chapter', 'section', 'subsection', 'subsubsection',
  8260 and 'text' support optional locale specification '(in loc)', which
  8261 specifies the default context for interpreting antiquotations.  For
  8262 example: 'text (in lattice) {* @{thm inf_assoc}*}'.
  8263 
  8264 * Option 'locale=NAME' of antiquotations specifies an alternative
  8265 context interpreting the subsequent argument.  For example: @{thm
  8266 [locale=lattice] inf_assoc}.
  8267 
  8268 * Proper output of proof terms (@{prf ...} and @{full_prf ...}) within
  8269 a proof context.
  8270 
  8271 * Proper output of antiquotations for theory commands involving a
  8272 proof context (such as 'locale' or 'theorem (in loc) ...').
  8273 
  8274 * Delimiters of outer tokens (string etc.) now produce separate LaTeX
  8275 macros (\isachardoublequoteopen, isachardoublequoteclose etc.).
  8276 
  8277 * isatool usedir: new option -C (default true) controls whether option
  8278 -D should include a copy of the original document directory; -C false
  8279 prevents unwanted effects such as copying of administrative CVS data.
  8280 
  8281 
  8282 *** Pure ***
  8283 
  8284 * Considerably improved version of 'constdefs' command.  Now performs
  8285 automatic type-inference of declared constants; additional support for
  8286 local structure declarations (cf. locales and HOL records), see also
  8287 isar-ref manual.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to observe strictly
  8288 sequential dependencies of definitions within a single 'constdefs'
  8289 section; moreover, the declared name needs to be an identifier.  If
  8290 all fails, consider to fall back on 'consts' and 'defs' separately.
  8291 
  8292 * Improved indexed syntax and implicit structures.  First of all,
  8293 indexed syntax provides a notational device for subscripted
  8294 application, using the new syntax \<^bsub>term\<^esub> for arbitrary
  8295 expressions.  Secondly, in a local context with structure
  8296 declarations, number indexes \<^sub>n or the empty index (default
  8297 number 1) refer to a certain fixed variable implicitly; option
  8298 show_structs controls printing of implicit structures.  Typical
  8299 applications of these concepts involve record types and locales.
  8300 
  8301 * New command 'no_syntax' removes grammar declarations (and
  8302 translations) resulting from the given syntax specification, which is
  8303 interpreted in the same manner as for the 'syntax' command.
  8304 
  8305 * 'Advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) may depend
  8306 on the signature of the theory context being presently used for
  8307 parsing/printing, see also isar-ref manual.
  8308 
  8309 * Improved 'oracle' command provides a type-safe interface to turn an
  8310 ML expression of type theory -> T -> term into a primitive rule of
  8311 type theory -> T -> thm (i.e. the functionality of Thm.invoke_oracle
  8312 is already included here); see also FOL/ex/IffExample.thy;
  8313 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8314 
  8315 * axclass: name space prefix for class "c" is now "c_class" (was "c"
  8316 before); "cI" is no longer bound, use "c.intro" instead.
  8317 INCOMPATIBILITY.  This change avoids clashes of fact bindings for
  8318 axclasses vs. locales.
  8319 
  8320 * Improved internal renaming of symbolic identifiers -- attach primes
  8321 instead of base 26 numbers.
  8322 
  8323 * New flag show_question_marks controls printing of leading question
  8324 marks in schematic variable names.
  8325 
  8326 * In schematic variable names, *any* symbol following \<^isub> or
  8327 \<^isup> is now treated as part of the base name.  For example, the
  8328 following works without printing of awkward ".0" indexes:
  8329 
  8330   lemma "x\<^isub>1 = x\<^isub>2 ==> x\<^isub>2 = x\<^isub>1"
  8331     by simp
  8332 
  8333 * Inner syntax includes (*(*nested*) comments*).
  8334 
  8335 * Pretty printer now supports unbreakable blocks, specified in mixfix
  8336 annotations as "(00...)".
  8337 
  8338 * Clear separation of logical types and nonterminals, where the latter
  8339 may only occur in 'syntax' specifications or type abbreviations.
  8340 Before that distinction was only partially implemented via type class
  8341 "logic" vs. "{}".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare cases of improper
  8342 use of 'types'/'consts' instead of 'nonterminals'/'syntax'.  Some very
  8343 exotic syntax specifications may require further adaption
  8344 (e.g. Cube/Cube.thy).
  8345 
  8346 * Removed obsolete type class "logic", use the top sort {} instead.
  8347 Note that non-logical types should be declared as 'nonterminals'
  8348 rather than 'types'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for new object-logic
  8349 specifications.
  8350 
  8351 * Attributes 'induct' and 'cases': type or set names may now be
  8352 locally fixed variables as well.
  8353 
  8354 * Simplifier: can now control the depth to which conditional rewriting
  8355 is traced via the PG menu Isabelle -> Settings -> Trace Simp Depth
  8356 Limit.
  8357 
  8358 * Simplifier: simplification procedures may now take the current
  8359 simpset into account (cf. Simplifier.simproc(_i) / mk_simproc
  8360 interface), which is very useful for calling the Simplifier
  8361 recursively.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: the 'prems' argument of simprocs
  8362 is gone -- use prems_of_ss on the simpset instead.  Moreover, the
  8363 low-level mk_simproc no longer applies Logic.varify internally, to
  8364 allow for use in a context of fixed variables.
  8365 
  8366 * thin_tac now works even if the assumption being deleted contains !!
  8367 or ==>.  More generally, erule now works even if the major premise of
  8368 the elimination rule contains !! or ==>.
  8369 
  8370 * Method 'rules' has been renamed to 'iprover'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8371 
  8372 * Reorganized bootstrapping of the Pure theories; CPure is now derived
  8373 from Pure, which contains all common declarations already.  Both
  8374 theories are defined via plain Isabelle/Isar .thy files.
  8375 INCOMPATIBILITY: elements of CPure (such as the CPure.intro /
  8376 CPure.elim / CPure.dest attributes) now appear in the Pure name space;
  8377 use isatool fixcpure to adapt your theory and ML sources.
  8378 
  8379 * New syntax 'name(i-j, i-, i, ...)' for referring to specific
  8380 selections of theorems in named facts via index ranges.
  8381 
  8382 * 'print_theorems': in theory mode, really print the difference
  8383 wrt. the last state (works for interactive theory development only),
  8384 in proof mode print all local facts (cf. 'print_facts');
  8385 
  8386 * 'hide': option '(open)' hides only base names.
  8387 
  8388 * More efficient treatment of intermediate checkpoints in interactive
  8389 theory development.
  8390 
  8391 * Code generator is now invoked via code_module (incremental code
  8392 generation) and code_library (modular code generation, ML structures
  8393 for each theory).  INCOMPATIBILITY: new keywords 'file' and 'contains'
  8394 must be quoted when used as identifiers.
  8395 
  8396 * New 'value' command for reading, evaluating and printing terms using
  8397 the code generator.  INCOMPATIBILITY: command keyword 'value' must be
  8398 quoted when used as identifier.
  8399 
  8400 
  8401 *** Locales ***
  8402 
  8403 * New commands for the interpretation of locale expressions in
  8404 theories (1), locales (2) and proof contexts (3).  These generate
  8405 proof obligations from the expression specification.  After the
  8406 obligations have been discharged, theorems of the expression are added
  8407 to the theory, target locale or proof context.  The synopsis of the
  8408 commands is a follows:
  8409 
  8410   (1) interpretation expr inst
  8411   (2) interpretation target < expr
  8412   (3) interpret expr inst
  8413 
  8414 Interpretation in theories and proof contexts require a parameter
  8415 instantiation of terms from the current context.  This is applied to
  8416 specifications and theorems of the interpreted expression.
  8417 Interpretation in locales only permits parameter renaming through the
  8418 locale expression.  Interpretation is smart in that interpretations
  8419 that are active already do not occur in proof obligations, neither are
  8420 instantiated theorems stored in duplicate.  Use 'print_interps' to
  8421 inspect active interpretations of a particular locale.  For details,
  8422 see the Isar Reference manual.  Examples can be found in
  8423 HOL/Finite_Set.thy and HOL/Algebra/UnivPoly.thy.
  8424 
  8425 INCOMPATIBILITY: former 'instantiate' has been withdrawn, use
  8426 'interpret' instead.
  8427 
  8428 * New context element 'constrains' for adding type constraints to
  8429 parameters.
  8430 
  8431 * Context expressions: renaming of parameters with syntax
  8432 redeclaration.
  8433 
  8434 * Locale declaration: 'includes' disallowed.
  8435 
  8436 * Proper static binding of attribute syntax -- i.e. types / terms /
  8437 facts mentioned as arguments are always those of the locale definition
  8438 context, independently of the context of later invocations.  Moreover,
  8439 locale operations (renaming and type / term instantiation) are applied
  8440 to attribute arguments as expected.
  8441 
  8442 INCOMPATIBILITY of the ML interface: always pass Attrib.src instead of
  8443 actual attributes; rare situations may require Attrib.attribute to
  8444 embed those attributes into Attrib.src that lack concrete syntax.
  8445 Attribute implementations need to cooperate properly with the static
  8446 binding mechanism.  Basic parsers Args.XXX_typ/term/prop and
  8447 Attrib.XXX_thm etc. already do the right thing without further
  8448 intervention.  Only unusual applications -- such as "where" or "of"
  8449 (cf. src/Pure/Isar/attrib.ML), which process arguments depending both
  8450 on the context and the facts involved -- may have to assign parsed
  8451 values to argument tokens explicitly.
  8452 
  8453 * Changed parameter management in theorem generation for long goal
  8454 statements with 'includes'.  INCOMPATIBILITY: produces a different
  8455 theorem statement in rare situations.
  8456 
  8457 * Locale inspection command 'print_locale' omits notes elements.  Use
  8458 'print_locale!' to have them included in the output.
  8459 
  8460 
  8461 *** Provers ***
  8462 
  8463 * Provers/hypsubst.ML: improved version of the subst method, for
  8464 single-step rewriting: it now works in bound variable contexts. New is
  8465 'subst (asm)', for rewriting an assumption.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may
  8466 rewrite a different subterm than the original subst method, which is
  8467 still available as 'simplesubst'.
  8468 
  8469 * Provers/quasi.ML: new transitivity reasoners for transitivity only
  8470 and quasi orders.
  8471 
  8472 * Provers/trancl.ML: new transitivity reasoner for transitive and
  8473 reflexive-transitive closure of relations.
  8474 
  8475 * Provers/blast.ML: new reference depth_limit to make blast's depth
  8476 limit (previously hard-coded with a value of 20) user-definable.
  8477 
  8478 * Provers/simplifier.ML has been moved to Pure, where Simplifier.setup
  8479 is peformed already.  Object-logics merely need to finish their
  8480 initial simpset configuration as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8481 
  8482 
  8483 *** HOL ***
  8484 
  8485 * Symbolic syntax of Hilbert Choice Operator is now as follows:
  8486 
  8487   syntax (epsilon)
  8488     "_Eps" :: "[pttrn, bool] => 'a"    ("(3\<some>_./ _)" [0, 10] 10)
  8489 
  8490 The symbol \<some> is displayed as the alternative epsilon of LaTeX
  8491 and x-symbol; use option '-m epsilon' to get it actually printed.
  8492 Moreover, the mathematically important symbolic identifier \<epsilon>
  8493 becomes available as variable, constant etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  8494 
  8495 * "x > y" abbreviates "y < x" and "x >= y" abbreviates "y <= x".
  8496 Similarly for all quantifiers: "ALL x > y" etc.  The x-symbol for >=
  8497 is \<ge>. New transitivity rules have been added to HOL/Orderings.thy to
  8498 support corresponding Isar calculations.
  8499 
  8500 * "{x:A. P}" abbreviates "{x. x:A & P}", and similarly for "\<in>"
  8501 instead of ":".
  8502 
  8503 * theory SetInterval: changed the syntax for open intervals:
  8504 
  8505   Old       New
  8506   {..n(}    {..<n}
  8507   {)n..}    {n<..}
  8508   {m..n(}   {m..<n}
  8509   {)m..n}   {m<..n}
  8510   {)m..n(}  {m<..<n}
  8511 
  8512 The old syntax is still supported but will disappear in the next
  8513 release.  For conversion use the following Emacs search and replace
  8514 patterns (these are not perfect but work quite well):
  8515 
  8516   {)\([^\.]*\)\.\.  ->  {\1<\.\.}
  8517   \.\.\([^(}]*\)(}  ->  \.\.<\1}
  8518 
  8519 * Theory Commutative_Ring (in Library): method comm_ring for proving
  8520 equalities in commutative rings; method 'algebra' provides a generic
  8521 interface.
  8522 
  8523 * Theory Finite_Set: changed the syntax for 'setsum', summation over
  8524 finite sets: "setsum (%x. e) A", which used to be "\<Sum>x:A. e", is
  8525 now either "SUM x:A. e" or "\<Sum>x \<in> A. e". The bound variable can
  8526 be a tuple pattern.
  8527 
  8528 Some new syntax forms are available:
  8529 
  8530   "\<Sum>x | P. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {x. P}"
  8531   "\<Sum>x = a..b. e"   for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..b}"
  8532   "\<Sum>x = a..<b. e"  for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..<b}"
  8533   "\<Sum>x < k. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {..<k}"
  8534 
  8535 The latter form "\<Sum>x < k. e" used to be based on a separate
  8536 function "Summation", which has been discontinued.
  8537 
  8538 * theory Finite_Set: in structured induction proofs, the insert case
  8539 is now 'case (insert x F)' instead of the old counterintuitive 'case
  8540 (insert F x)'.
  8541 
  8542 * The 'refute' command has been extended to support a much larger
  8543 fragment of HOL, including axiomatic type classes, constdefs and
  8544 typedefs, inductive datatypes and recursion.
  8545 
  8546 * New tactics 'sat' and 'satx' to prove propositional tautologies.
  8547 Requires zChaff with proof generation to be installed.  See
  8548 HOL/ex/SAT_Examples.thy for examples.
  8549 
  8550 * Datatype induction via method 'induct' now preserves the name of the
  8551 induction variable. For example, when proving P(xs::'a list) by
  8552 induction on xs, the induction step is now P(xs) ==> P(a#xs) rather
  8553 than P(list) ==> P(a#list) as previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  8554 in unstructured proof scripts.
  8555 
  8556 * Reworked implementation of records.  Improved scalability for
  8557 records with many fields, avoiding performance problems for type
  8558 inference. Records are no longer composed of nested field types, but
  8559 of nested extension types. Therefore the record type only grows linear
  8560 in the number of extensions and not in the number of fields.  The
  8561 top-level (users) view on records is preserved.  Potential
  8562 INCOMPATIBILITY only in strange cases, where the theory depends on the
  8563 old record representation. The type generated for a record is called
  8564 <record_name>_ext_type.
  8565 
  8566 Flag record_quick_and_dirty_sensitive can be enabled to skip the
  8567 proofs triggered by a record definition or a simproc (if
  8568 quick_and_dirty is enabled).  Definitions of large records can take
  8569 quite long.
  8570 
  8571 New simproc record_upd_simproc for simplification of multiple record
  8572 updates enabled by default.  Moreover, trivial updates are also
  8573 removed: r(|x := x r|) = r.  INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break
  8574 occasionally, since simplification is more powerful by default.
  8575 
  8576 * typedef: proper support for polymorphic sets, which contain extra
  8577 type-variables in the term.
  8578 
  8579 * Simplifier: automatically reasons about transitivity chains
  8580 involving "trancl" (r^+) and "rtrancl" (r^*) by setting up tactics
  8581 provided by Provers/trancl.ML as additional solvers.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  8582 old proofs break occasionally as simplification may now solve more
  8583 goals than previously.
  8584 
  8585 * Simplifier: converts x <= y into x = y if assumption y <= x is
  8586 present.  Works for all partial orders (class "order"), in particular
  8587 numbers and sets.  For linear orders (e.g. numbers) it treats ~ x < y
  8588 just like y <= x.
  8589 
  8590 * Simplifier: new simproc for "let x = a in f x".  If a is a free or
  8591 bound variable or a constant then the let is unfolded.  Otherwise
  8592 first a is simplified to b, and then f b is simplified to g. If
  8593 possible we abstract b from g arriving at "let x = b in h x",
  8594 otherwise we unfold the let and arrive at g.  The simproc can be
  8595 enabled/disabled by the reference use_let_simproc.  Potential
  8596 INCOMPATIBILITY since simplification is more powerful by default.
  8597 
  8598 * Classical reasoning: the meson method now accepts theorems as arguments.
  8599 
  8600 * Prover support: pre-release of the Isabelle-ATP linkup, which runs background
  8601 jobs to provide advice on the provability of subgoals.
  8602 
  8603 * Theory OrderedGroup and Ring_and_Field: various additions and
  8604 improvements to faciliate calculations involving equalities and
  8605 inequalities.
  8606 
  8607 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  8608 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8609 
  8610   abs_eq             now named abs_of_nonneg
  8611   abs_of_ge_0        now named abs_of_nonneg
  8612   abs_minus_eq       now named abs_of_nonpos
  8613   imp_abs_id         now named abs_of_nonneg
  8614   imp_abs_neg_id     now named abs_of_nonpos
  8615   mult_pos           now named mult_pos_pos
  8616   mult_pos_le        now named mult_nonneg_nonneg
  8617   mult_pos_neg_le    now named mult_nonneg_nonpos
  8618   mult_pos_neg2_le   now named mult_nonneg_nonpos2
  8619   mult_neg           now named mult_neg_neg
  8620   mult_neg_le        now named mult_nonpos_nonpos
  8621 
  8622 * The following lemmas in Ring_and_Field have been added to the simplifier:
  8623 
  8624      zero_le_square
  8625      not_square_less_zero
  8626 
  8627   The following lemmas have been deleted from Real/RealPow:
  8628 
  8629      realpow_zero_zero
  8630      realpow_two
  8631      realpow_less
  8632      zero_le_power
  8633      realpow_two_le
  8634      abs_realpow_two
  8635      realpow_two_abs
  8636 
  8637 * Theory Parity: added rules for simplifying exponents.
  8638 
  8639 * Theory List:
  8640 
  8641 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  8642 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8643 
  8644   list_all_Nil       now named list_all.simps(1)
  8645   list_all_Cons      now named list_all.simps(2)
  8646   list_all_conv      now named list_all_iff
  8647   set_mem_eq         now named mem_iff
  8648 
  8649 * Theories SetsAndFunctions and BigO (see HOL/Library) support
  8650 asymptotic "big O" calculations.  See the notes in BigO.thy.
  8651 
  8652 
  8653 *** HOL-Complex ***
  8654 
  8655 * Theory RealDef: better support for embedding natural numbers and
  8656 integers in the reals.
  8657 
  8658 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  8659 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8660 
  8661   exp_ge_add_one_self  now requires no hypotheses
  8662   real_of_int_add      reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8663   real_of_int_minus    reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8664   real_of_int_diff     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8665   real_of_int_mult     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8666 
  8667 * Theory RComplete: expanded support for floor and ceiling functions.
  8668 
  8669 * Theory Ln is new, with properties of the natural logarithm
  8670 
  8671 * Hyperreal: There is a new type constructor "star" for making
  8672 nonstandard types.  The old type names are now type synonyms:
  8673 
  8674   hypreal = real star
  8675   hypnat = nat star
  8676   hcomplex = complex star
  8677 
  8678 * Hyperreal: Many groups of similarly-defined constants have been
  8679 replaced by polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8680 
  8681   star_of <-- hypreal_of_real, hypnat_of_nat, hcomplex_of_complex
  8682 
  8683   starset      <-- starsetNat, starsetC
  8684   *s*          <-- *sNat*, *sc*
  8685   starset_n    <-- starsetNat_n, starsetC_n
  8686   *sn*         <-- *sNatn*, *scn*
  8687   InternalSets <-- InternalNatSets, InternalCSets
  8688 
  8689   starfun      <-- starfun{Nat,Nat2,C,RC,CR}
  8690   *f*          <-- *fNat*, *fNat2*, *fc*, *fRc*, *fcR*
  8691   starfun_n    <-- starfun{Nat,Nat2,C,RC,CR}_n
  8692   *fn*         <-- *fNatn*, *fNat2n*, *fcn*, *fRcn*, *fcRn*
  8693   InternalFuns <-- InternalNatFuns, InternalNatFuns2, Internal{C,RC,CR}Funs

  8695 * Hyperreal: Many type-specific theorems have been removed in favor of
  8696 theorems specific to various axiomatic type classes (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  8723 * Hyperreal: Separate theorems having to do with type-specific
  8724 versions of constants have been merged into theorems that apply to the
  8725 new polymorphic constants (INCOMPATIBILITY):

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

 10419 * HOL/NumberTheory: fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, Chinese
 10420 Remainder Theorem, Fermat/Euler Theorem, Wilson's Theorem, by Thomas M
 10421 Rasmussen;
 10422 
 10423 * HOL/Lattice: fundamental concepts of lattice theory and order
 10424 structures, including duals, properties of bounds versus algebraic
 10425 laws, lattice operations versus set-theoretic ones, the Knaster-Tarski
 10426 Theorem for complete lattices etc.; may also serve as a demonstration
 10427 for abstract algebraic reasoning using axiomatic type classes, and
 10428 mathematics-style proof in Isabelle/Isar; by Markus Wenzel;
 10429 
 10430 * HOL/Prolog: a (bare-bones) implementation of Lambda-Prolog, by David
 10431 von Oheimb;
 10432 
 10433 * HOL/IMPP: extension of IMP with local variables and mutually
 10434 recursive procedures, by David von Oheimb;
 10435 
 10436 * HOL/Lambda: converted into new-style theory and document;
 10437 
 10438 * HOL/ex/Multiquote: example of multiple nested quotations and
 10439 anti-quotations -- basically a generalized version of de-Bruijn
 10440 representation; very useful in avoiding lifting of operations;
 10441 
 10442 * HOL/record: added general record equality rule to simpset; fixed
 10443 select-update simplification procedure to handle extended records as
 10444 well; admit "r" as field name;
 10445 
 10446 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded over the new sort "zero", allowing its use with
 10447 other numeric types and also as the identity of groups, rings, etc.;
 10448 
 10449 * HOL: new axclass plus_ac0 for addition with the AC-laws and 0 as identity.
 10450 Types nat and int belong to this axclass;
 10451 
 10452 * HOL: greatly improved simplification involving numerals of type nat, int, real:
 10453    (i + #8 + j) = Suc k simplifies to  #7 + (i + j) = k
 10454    i*j + k + j*#3*i     simplifies to  #4*(i*j) + k
 10455   two terms #m*u and #n*u are replaced by #(m+n)*u
 10456     (where #m, #n and u can implicitly be 1; this is simproc combine_numerals)
 10457   and the term/formula #m*u+x ~~ #n*u+y simplifies simplifies to #(m-n)+x ~~ y
 10458     or x ~~ #(n-m)+y, where ~~ is one of = < <= or - (simproc cancel_numerals);
 10459 
 10460 * HOL: meson_tac is available (previously in ex/meson.ML); it is a
 10461 powerful prover for predicate logic but knows nothing of clasets; see
 10462 ex/mesontest.ML and ex/mesontest2.ML for example applications;
 10463 
 10464 * HOL: new version of "case_tac" subsumes both boolean case split and
 10465 "exhaust_tac" on datatypes; INCOMPATIBILITY: exhaust_tac no longer
 10466 exists, may define val exhaust_tac = case_tac for ad-hoc portability;
 10467 
 10468 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions: only the
 10469 selector expression is simplified, but not the remaining arms; to
 10470 enable full simplification of case-expressions for datatype t, you may
 10471 remove t.weak_case_cong from the simpset, either globally (Delcongs
 10472 [thm"t.weak_case_cong"];) or locally (delcongs [...]).
 10473 
 10474 * HOL/recdef: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' for
 10475 function 'f' are now called f.simps instead of f.rules; if all
 10476 termination conditions are proved automatically, these simplification
 10477 rules are added to the simpset, as in primrec; rules may be named
 10478 individually as well, resulting in a separate list of theorems for
 10479 each equation;
 10480 
 10481 * HOL/While is a new theory that provides a while-combinator. It
 10482 permits the definition of tail-recursive functions without the
 10483 provision of a termination measure. The latter is necessary once the
 10484 invariant proof rule for while is applied.
 10485 
 10486 * HOL: new (overloaded) notation for the set of elements below/above
 10487 some element: {..u}, {..u(}, {l..}, {)l..}. See theory SetInterval.
 10488 
 10489 * HOL: theorems impI, allI, ballI bound as "strip";
 10490 
 10491 * HOL: new tactic induct_thm_tac: thm -> string -> int -> tactic
 10492 induct_tac th "x1 ... xn" expects th to have a conclusion of the form
 10493 P v1 ... vn and abbreviates res_inst_tac [("v1","x1"),...,("vn","xn")] th;
 10494 
 10495 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
 10496 
 10497 * HOL: theory Sexp now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part of
 10498 main HOL, but was unused);
 10499 
 10500 * HOL: fewer consts declared as global (e.g. have to refer to
 10501 "Lfp.lfp" instead of "lfp" internally; affects ML packages only);
 10502 
 10503 * HOL: tuned AST representation of nested pairs, avoiding bogus output
 10504 in case of overlap with user translations (e.g. judgements over
 10505 tuples); (note that the underlying logical represenation is still
 10506 bogus);
 10507 
 10508 
 10509 *** ZF ***
 10510 
 10511 * ZF: simplification automatically cancels common terms in arithmetic
 10512 expressions over nat and int;
 10513 
 10514 * ZF: new treatment of nat to minimize type-checking: all operators
 10515 coerce their operands to a natural number using the function natify,
 10516 making the algebraic laws unconditional;
 10517 
 10518 * ZF: as above, for int: operators coerce their operands to an integer
 10519 using the function intify;
 10520 
 10521 * ZF: the integer library now contains many of the usual laws for the
 10522 orderings, including $<=, and monotonicity laws for $+ and $*;
 10523 
 10524 * ZF: new example ZF/ex/NatSum to demonstrate integer arithmetic
 10525 simplification;
 10526 
 10527 * FOL and ZF: AddIffs now available, giving theorems of the form P<->Q
 10528 to the simplifier and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 10529 
 10530 
 10531 *** General ***
 10532 
 10533 * Provers: blast_tac now handles actual object-logic rules as
 10534 assumptions; note that auto_tac uses blast_tac internally as well;
 10535 
 10536 * Provers: new functions rulify/rulify_no_asm: thm -> thm for turning
 10537 outer -->/All/Ball into ==>/!!; qed_spec_mp now uses rulify_no_asm;
 10538 
 10539 * Provers: delrules now handles destruct rules as well (no longer need
 10540 explicit make_elim);
 10541 
 10542 * Provers: Blast_tac now warns of and ignores "weak elimination rules" e.g.
 10543   [| inj ?f;          ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
 10544 use instead the strong form,
 10545   [| inj ?f; ~ ?W ==> ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
 10546 in HOL, FOL and ZF the function cla_make_elim will create such rules
 10547 from destruct-rules;
 10548 
 10549 * Provers: Simplifier.easy_setup provides a fast path to basic
 10550 Simplifier setup for new object-logics;
 10551 
 10552 * Pure: AST translation rules no longer require constant head on LHS;
 10553 
 10554 * Pure: improved name spaces: ambiguous output is qualified; support
 10555 for hiding of names;
 10556 
 10557 * system: smart setup of canonical ML_HOME, ISABELLE_INTERFACE, and
 10558 XSYMBOL_HOME; no longer need to do manual configuration in most
 10559 situations;
 10560 
 10561 * system: compression of ML heaps images may now be controlled via -c
 10562 option of isabelle and isatool usedir (currently only observed by
 10563 Poly/ML);
 10564 
 10565 * system: isatool installfonts may handle X-Symbol fonts as well (very
 10566 useful for remote X11);
 10567 
 10568 * system: provide TAGS file for Isabelle sources;
 10569 
 10570 * ML: infix 'OF' is a version of 'MRS' with more appropriate argument
 10571 order;
 10572 
 10573 * ML: renamed flags Syntax.trace_norm_ast to Syntax.trace_ast; global
 10574 timing flag supersedes proof_timing and Toplevel.trace;
 10575 
 10576 * ML: new combinators |>> and |>>> for incremental transformations
 10577 with secondary results (e.g. certain theory extensions):
 10578 
 10579 * ML: PureThy.add_defs gets additional argument to indicate potential
 10580 overloading (usually false);
 10581 
 10582 * ML: PureThy.add_thms/add_axioms/add_defs now return theorems as
 10583 results;
 10584 
 10585 
 10586 
 10587 New in Isabelle99 (October 1999)
 10588 --------------------------------
 10589 
 10590 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 10591 
 10592 * HOL: The THEN and ELSE parts of conditional expressions (if P then x else y)
 10593 are no longer simplified.  (This allows the simplifier to unfold recursive
 10594 functional programs.)  To restore the old behaviour, declare
 10595 
 10596     Delcongs [if_weak_cong];
 10597 
 10598 * HOL: Removed the obsolete syntax "Compl A"; use -A for set
 10599 complement;
 10600 
 10601 * HOL: the predicate "inj" is now defined by translation to "inj_on";
 10602 
 10603 * HOL/datatype: mutual_induct_tac no longer exists --
 10604   use induct_tac "x_1 ... x_n" instead of mutual_induct_tac ["x_1", ..., "x_n"]
 10605 
 10606 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
 10607 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
 10608 
 10609 * ZF: The con_defs part of an inductive definition may no longer refer
 10610 to constants declared in the same theory;
 10611 
 10612 * HOL, ZF: the function mk_cases, generated by the inductive
 10613 definition package, has lost an argument.  To simplify its result, it
 10614 uses the default simpset instead of a supplied list of theorems.
 10615 
 10616 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
 10617 
 10618 * Simplifier: the type of the infix ML functions
 10619         setSSolver addSSolver setSolver addSolver
 10620 is now  simpset * solver -> simpset  where `solver' is a new abstract type
 10621 for packaging solvers. A solver is created via
 10622         mk_solver: string -> (thm list -> int -> tactic) -> solver
 10623 where the string argument is only a comment.
 10624 
 10625 
 10626 *** Proof tools ***
 10627 
 10628 * Provers/Arith/fast_lin_arith.ML contains a functor for creating a
 10629 decision procedure for linear arithmetic. Currently it is used for
 10630 types `nat', `int', and `real' in HOL (see below); it can, should and
 10631 will be instantiated for other types and logics as well.
 10632 
 10633 * The simplifier now accepts rewrite rules with flexible heads, eg
 10634      hom ?f ==> ?f(?x+?y) = ?f ?x + ?f ?y
 10635   They are applied like any rule with a non-pattern lhs, i.e. by first-order
 10636   matching.
 10637 
 10638 
 10639 *** General ***
 10640 
 10641 * New Isabelle/Isar subsystem provides an alternative to traditional
 10642 tactical theorem proving; together with the ProofGeneral/isar user
 10643 interface it offers an interactive environment for developing human
 10644 readable proof documents (Isar == Intelligible semi-automated
 10645 reasoning); for further information see isatool doc isar-ref,
 10646 src/HOL/Isar_examples and http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Isar/
 10647 
 10648 * improved and simplified presentation of theories: better HTML markup
 10649 (including colors), graph views in several sizes; isatool usedir now
 10650 provides a proper interface for user theories (via -P option); actual
 10651 document preparation based on (PDF)LaTeX is available as well (for
 10652 new-style theories only); see isatool doc system for more information;
 10653 
 10654 * native support for Proof General, both for classic Isabelle and
 10655 Isabelle/Isar;
 10656 
 10657 * ML function thm_deps visualizes dependencies of theorems and lemmas,
 10658 using the graph browser tool;
 10659 
 10660 * Isabelle manuals now also available as PDF;
 10661 
 10662 * theory loader rewritten from scratch (may not be fully
 10663 bug-compatible); old loadpath variable has been replaced by show_path,
 10664 add_path, del_path, reset_path functions; new operations such as
 10665 update_thy, touch_thy, remove_thy, use/update_thy_only (see also
 10666 isatool doc ref);
 10667 
 10668 * improved isatool install: option -k creates KDE application icon,
 10669 option -p DIR installs standalone binaries;
 10670 
 10671 * added ML_PLATFORM setting (useful for cross-platform installations);
 10672 more robust handling of platform specific ML images for SML/NJ;
 10673 
 10674 * the settings environment is now statically scoped, i.e. it is never
 10675 created again in sub-processes invoked from isabelle, isatool, or
 10676 Isabelle;
 10677 
 10678 * path element specification '~~' refers to '$ISABELLE_HOME';
 10679 
 10680 * in locales, the "assumes" and "defines" parts may be omitted if
 10681 empty;
 10682 
 10683 * new print_mode "xsymbols" for extended symbol support (e.g. genuine
 10684 long arrows);
 10685 
 10686 * new print_mode "HTML";
 10687 
 10688 * new flag show_tags controls display of tags of theorems (which are
 10689 basically just comments that may be attached by some tools);
 10690 
 10691 * Isamode 2.6 requires patch to accomodate change of Isabelle font
 10692 mode and goal output format:
 10693 
 10694 diff -r Isamode-2.6/elisp/isa-load.el Isamode/elisp/isa-load.el
 10695 244c244
 10696 <       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-msymbols" logic-name)
 10697 ---
 10698 >       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-misabelle_font" "-msymbols" logic-name)
 10699 diff -r Isabelle-2.6/elisp/isa-proofstate.el Isamode/elisp/isa-proofstate.el
 10700 181c181
 10701 < (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+$"
 10702 ---
 10703 > (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+"
 10704 
 10705 * function bind_thms stores lists of theorems (cf. bind_thm);
 10706 
 10707 * new shorthand tactics ftac, eatac, datac, fatac;
 10708 
 10709 * qed (and friends) now accept "" as result name; in that case the
 10710 theorem is not stored, but proper checks and presentation of the
 10711 result still apply;
 10712 
 10713 * theorem database now also indexes constants "Trueprop", "all",
 10714 "==>", "=="; thus thms_containing, findI etc. may retrieve more rules;
 10715 
 10716 
 10717 *** HOL ***
 10718 
 10719 ** HOL arithmetic **
 10720 
 10721 * There are now decision procedures for linear arithmetic over nat and
 10722 int:
 10723 
 10724 1. arith_tac copes with arbitrary formulae involving `=', `<', `<=',
 10725 `+', `-', `Suc', `min', `max' and numerical constants; other subterms
 10726 are treated as atomic; subformulae not involving type `nat' or `int'
 10727 are ignored; quantified subformulae are ignored unless they are
 10728 positive universal or negative existential. The tactic has to be
 10729 invoked by hand and can be a little bit slow. In particular, the
 10730 running time is exponential in the number of occurrences of `min' and
 10731 `max', and `-' on `nat'.
 10732 
 10733 2. fast_arith_tac is a cut-down version of arith_tac: it only takes
 10734 (negated) (in)equalities among the premises and the conclusion into
 10735 account (i.e. no compound formulae) and does not know about `min' and
 10736 `max', and `-' on `nat'. It is fast and is used automatically by the
 10737 simplifier.
 10738 
 10739 NB: At the moment, these decision procedures do not cope with mixed
 10740 nat/int formulae where the two parts interact, such as `m < n ==>
 10741 int(m) < int(n)'.
 10742 
 10743 * HOL/Numeral provides a generic theory of numerals (encoded
 10744 efficiently as bit strings); setup for types nat/int/real is in place;
 10745 INCOMPATIBILITY: since numeral syntax is now polymorphic, rather than
 10746 int, existing theories and proof scripts may require a few additional
 10747 type constraints;
 10748 
 10749 * integer division and remainder can now be performed on constant
 10750 arguments;
 10751 
 10752 * many properties of integer multiplication, division and remainder
 10753 are now available;
 10754 
 10755 * An interface to the Stanford Validity Checker (SVC) is available through the
 10756 tactic svc_tac.  Propositional tautologies and theorems of linear arithmetic
 10757 are proved automatically.  SVC must be installed separately, and its results
 10758 must be TAKEN ON TRUST (Isabelle does not check the proofs, but tags any
 10759 invocation of the underlying oracle).  For SVC see
 10760   http://verify.stanford.edu/SVC
 10761 
 10762 * IsaMakefile: the HOL-Real target now builds an actual image;
 10763 
 10764 
 10765 ** HOL misc **
 10766 
 10767 * HOL/Real/HahnBanach: the Hahn-Banach theorem for real vector spaces
 10768 (in Isabelle/Isar) -- by Gertrud Bauer;
 10769 
 10770 * HOL/BCV: generic model of bytecode verification, i.e. data-flow
 10771 analysis for assembly languages with subtypes;
 10772 
 10773 * HOL/TLA (Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions): major reorganization
 10774 -- avoids syntactic ambiguities and treats state, transition, and
 10775 temporal levels more uniformly; introduces INCOMPATIBILITIES due to
 10776 changed syntax and (many) tactics;
 10777 
 10778 * HOL/inductive: Now also handles more general introduction rules such
 10779   as "ALL y. (y, x) : r --> y : acc r ==> x : acc r"; monotonicity
 10780   theorems are now maintained within the theory (maintained via the
 10781   "mono" attribute);
 10782 
 10783 * HOL/datatype: Now also handles arbitrarily branching datatypes
 10784   (using function types) such as
 10785 
 10786   datatype 'a tree = Atom 'a | Branch "nat => 'a tree"
 10787 
 10788 * HOL/record: record_simproc (part of the default simpset) takes care
 10789 of selectors applied to updated records; record_split_tac is no longer
 10790 part of the default claset; update_defs may now be removed from the
 10791 simpset in many cases; COMPATIBILITY: old behavior achieved by
 10792 
 10793   claset_ref () := claset() addSWrapper record_split_wrapper;
 10794   Delsimprocs [record_simproc]
 10795 
 10796 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
 10797 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
 10798 
 10799 * HOL/recdef (TFL): 'congs' syntax now expects comma separated list of theorem
 10800 names rather than an ML expression;
 10801 
 10802 * HOL/defer_recdef (TFL): like recdef but the well-founded relation can be
 10803 supplied later.  Program schemes can be defined, such as
 10804     "While B C s = (if B s then While B C (C s) else s)"
 10805 where the well-founded relation can be chosen after B and C have been given.
 10806 
 10807 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
 10808 INCOMPATIBILITY: while [] and infix # syntax is still there, of
 10809 course, ML tools referring to List.list.op # etc. have to be adapted;
 10810 
 10811 * HOL_quantifiers flag superseded by "HOL" print mode, which is
 10812 disabled by default; run isabelle with option -m HOL to get back to
 10813 the original Gordon/HOL-style output;
 10814 
 10815 * HOL/Ord.thy: new bounded quantifier syntax (input only): ALL x<y. P,
 10816 ALL x<=y. P, EX x<y. P, EX x<=y. P;
 10817 
 10818 * HOL basic syntax simplified (more orthogonal): all variants of
 10819 All/Ex now support plain / symbolic / HOL notation; plain syntax for
 10820 Eps operator is provided as well: "SOME x. P[x]";
 10821 
 10822 * HOL/Sum.thy: sum_case has been moved to HOL/Datatype;
 10823 
 10824 * HOL/Univ.thy: infix syntax <*>, <+>, <**>, <+> eliminated and made
 10825 thus available for user theories;
 10826 
 10827 * HOLCF/IOA/Sequents: renamed 'Cons' to 'Consq' to avoid clash with
 10828 HOL/List; hardly an INCOMPATIBILITY since '>>' syntax is used all the
 10829 time;
 10830 
 10831 * HOL: new tactic smp_tac: int -> int -> tactic, which applies spec
 10832 several times and then mp;
 10833 
 10834 
 10835 *** LK ***
 10836 
 10837 * the notation <<...>> is now available as a notation for sequences of
 10838 formulas;
 10839 
 10840 * the simplifier is now installed
 10841 
 10842 * the axiom system has been generalized (thanks to Soren Heilmann)
 10843 
 10844 * the classical reasoner now has a default rule database
 10845 
 10846 
 10847 *** ZF ***
 10848 
 10849 * new primrec section allows primitive recursive functions to be given
 10850 directly (as in HOL) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
 10851 
 10852 * new tactics induct_tac and exhaust_tac for induction (or case
 10853 analysis) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
 10854 
 10855 * the datatype declaration of type T now defines the recursor T_rec;
 10856 
 10857 * simplification automatically does freeness reasoning for datatype
 10858 constructors;
 10859 
 10860 * automatic type-inference, with AddTCs command to insert new
 10861 type-checking rules;
 10862 
 10863 * datatype introduction rules are now added as Safe Introduction rules
 10864 to the claset;
 10865 
 10866 * the syntax "if P then x else y" is now available in addition to
 10867 if(P,x,y);
 10868 
 10869 
 10870 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
 10871 
 10872 * tuned simplifier trace output; new flag debug_simp;
 10873 
 10874 * structures Vartab / Termtab (instances of TableFun) offer efficient
 10875 tables indexed by indexname_ord / term_ord (compatible with aconv);
 10876 
 10877 * AxClass.axclass_tac lost the theory argument;
 10878 
 10879 * tuned current_goals_markers semantics: begin / end goal avoids
 10880 printing empty lines;
 10881 
 10882 * removed prs and prs_fn hook, which was broken because it did not
 10883 include \n in its semantics, forcing writeln to add one
 10884 uncoditionally; replaced prs_fn by writeln_fn; consider std_output:
 10885 string -> unit if you really want to output text without newline;
 10886 
 10887 * Symbol.output subject to print mode; INCOMPATIBILITY: defaults to
 10888 plain output, interface builders may have to enable 'isabelle_font'
 10889 mode to get Isabelle font glyphs as before;
 10890 
 10891 * refined token_translation interface; INCOMPATIBILITY: output length
 10892 now of type real instead of int;
 10893 
 10894 * theory loader actions may be traced via new ThyInfo.add_hook
 10895 interface (see src/Pure/Thy/thy_info.ML); example application: keep
 10896 your own database of information attached to *whole* theories -- as
 10897 opposed to intra-theory data slots offered via TheoryDataFun;
 10898 
 10899 * proper handling of dangling sort hypotheses (at last!);
 10900 Thm.strip_shyps and Drule.strip_shyps_warning take care of removing
 10901 extra sort hypotheses that can be witnessed from the type signature;
 10902 the force_strip_shyps flag is gone, any remaining shyps are simply
 10903 left in the theorem (with a warning issued by strip_shyps_warning);
 10904 
 10905 
 10906 
 10907 New in Isabelle98-1 (October 1998)
 10908 ----------------------------------
 10909 
 10910 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 10911 
 10912 * several changes of automated proof tools;
 10913 
 10914 * HOL: major changes to the inductive and datatype packages, including
 10915 some minor incompatibilities of theory syntax;
 10916 
 10917 * HOL: renamed r^-1 to 'converse' from 'inverse'; 'inj_onto' is now
 10918 called `inj_on';
 10919 
 10920 * HOL: removed duplicate thms in Arith:
 10921   less_imp_add_less  should be replaced by  trans_less_add1
 10922   le_imp_add_le      should be replaced by  trans_le_add1
 10923 
 10924 * HOL: unary minus is now overloaded (new type constraints may be
 10925 required);
 10926 
 10927 * HOL and ZF: unary minus for integers is now #- instead of #~.  In
 10928 ZF, expressions such as n#-1 must be changed to n#- 1, since #-1 is
 10929 now taken as an integer constant.
 10930 
 10931 * Pure: ML function 'theory_of' renamed to 'theory';
 10932 
 10933 
 10934 *** Proof tools ***
 10935 
 10936 * Simplifier:
 10937   1. Asm_full_simp_tac is now more aggressive.
 10938      1. It will sometimes reorient premises if that increases their power to
 10939         simplify.
 10940      2. It does no longer proceed strictly from left to right but may also
 10941         rotate premises to achieve further simplification.
 10942      For compatibility reasons there is now Asm_lr_simp_tac which is like the
 10943      old Asm_full_simp_tac in that it does not rotate premises.
 10944   2. The simplifier now knows a little bit about nat-arithmetic.
 10945 
 10946 * Classical reasoner: wrapper mechanism for the classical reasoner now
 10947 allows for selected deletion of wrappers, by introduction of names for
 10948 wrapper functionals.  This implies that addbefore, addSbefore,
 10949 addaltern, and addSaltern now take a pair (name, tactic) as argument,
 10950 and that adding two tactics with the same name overwrites the first
 10951 one (emitting a warning).
 10952   type wrapper = (int -> tactic) -> (int -> tactic)
 10953   setWrapper, setSWrapper, compWrapper and compSWrapper are replaced by
 10954   addWrapper, addSWrapper: claset * (string * wrapper) -> claset
 10955   delWrapper, delSWrapper: claset *  string            -> claset
 10956   getWrapper is renamed to appWrappers, getSWrapper to appSWrappers;
 10957 
 10958 * Classical reasoner: addbefore/addSbefore now have APPEND/ORELSE
 10959 semantics; addbefore now affects only the unsafe part of step_tac
 10960 etc.; this affects addss/auto_tac/force_tac, so EXISTING PROOFS MAY
 10961 FAIL, but proofs should be fixable easily, e.g. by replacing Auto_tac
 10962 by Force_tac;
 10963 
 10964 * Classical reasoner: setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to
 10965 compWrapper; added safe wrapper (and access functions for it);
 10966 
 10967 * HOL/split_all_tac is now much faster and fails if there is nothing
 10968 to split.  Some EXISTING PROOFS MAY REQUIRE ADAPTION because the order
 10969 and the names of the automatically generated variables have changed.
 10970 split_all_tac has moved within claset() from unsafe wrappers to safe
 10971 wrappers, which means that !!-bound variables are split much more
 10972 aggressively, and safe_tac and clarify_tac now split such variables.
 10973 If this splitting is not appropriate, use delSWrapper "split_all_tac".
 10974 Note: the same holds for record_split_tac, which does the job of
 10975 split_all_tac for record fields.
 10976 
 10977 * HOL/Simplifier: Rewrite rules for case distinctions can now be added
 10978 permanently to the default simpset using Addsplits just like
 10979 Addsimps. They can be removed via Delsplits just like
 10980 Delsimps. Lower-case versions are also available.
 10981 
 10982 * HOL/Simplifier: The rule split_if is now part of the default
 10983 simpset. This means that the simplifier will eliminate all occurrences
 10984 of if-then-else in the conclusion of a goal. To prevent this, you can
 10985 either remove split_if completely from the default simpset by
 10986 `Delsplits [split_if]' or remove it in a specific call of the
 10987 simplifier using `... delsplits [split_if]'.  You can also add/delete
 10988 other case splitting rules to/from the default simpset: every datatype
 10989 generates suitable rules `split_t_case' and `split_t_case_asm' (where
 10990 t is the name of the datatype).
 10991 
 10992 * Classical reasoner / Simplifier combination: new force_tac (and
 10993 derivatives Force_tac, force) combines rewriting and classical
 10994 reasoning (and whatever other tools) similarly to auto_tac, but is
 10995 aimed to solve the given subgoal completely.
 10996 
 10997 
 10998 *** General ***
 10999 
 11000 * new top-level commands `Goal' and `Goalw' that improve upon `goal'
 11001 and `goalw': the theory is no longer needed as an explicit argument -
 11002 the current theory context is used; assumptions are no longer returned
 11003 at the ML-level unless one of them starts with ==> or !!; it is
 11004 recommended to convert to these new commands using isatool fixgoal
 11005 (backup your sources first!);
 11006 
 11007 * new top-level commands 'thm' and 'thms' for retrieving theorems from
 11008 the current theory context, and 'theory' to lookup stored theories;
 11009 
 11010 * new theory section 'locale' for declaring constants, assumptions and
 11011 definitions that have local scope;
 11012 
 11013 * new theory section 'nonterminals' for purely syntactic types;
 11014 
 11015 * new theory section 'setup' for generic ML setup functions
 11016 (e.g. package initialization);
 11017 
 11018 * the distribution now includes Isabelle icons: see
 11019 lib/logo/isabelle-{small,tiny}.xpm;
 11020 
 11021 * isatool install - install binaries with absolute references to
 11022 ISABELLE_HOME/bin;
 11023 
 11024 * isatool logo -- create instances of the Isabelle logo (as EPS);
 11025 
 11026 * print mode 'emacs' reserved for Isamode;
 11027 
 11028 * support multiple print (ast) translations per constant name;
 11029 
 11030 * theorems involving oracles are now printed with a suffixed [!];
 11031 
 11032 
 11033 *** HOL ***
 11034 
 11035 * there is now a tutorial on Isabelle/HOL (do 'isatool doc tutorial');
 11036 
 11037 * HOL/inductive package reorganized and improved: now supports mutual
 11038 definitions such as
 11039 
 11040   inductive EVEN ODD
 11041     intrs
 11042       null "0 : EVEN"
 11043       oddI "n : EVEN ==> Suc n : ODD"
 11044       evenI "n : ODD ==> Suc n : EVEN"
 11045 
 11046 new theorem list "elims" contains an elimination rule for each of the
 11047 recursive sets; inductive definitions now handle disjunctive premises
 11048 correctly (also ZF);
 11049 
 11050 INCOMPATIBILITIES: requires Inductive as an ancestor; component
 11051 "mutual_induct" no longer exists - the induction rule is always
 11052 contained in "induct";
 11053 
 11054 
 11055 * HOL/datatype package re-implemented and greatly improved: now
 11056 supports mutually recursive datatypes such as
 11057 
 11058   datatype
 11059     'a aexp = IF_THEN_ELSE ('a bexp) ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 11060             | SUM ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 11061             | DIFF ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 11062             | NUM 'a
 11063   and
 11064     'a bexp = LESS ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 11065             | AND ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
 11066             | OR ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
 11067 
 11068 as well as indirectly recursive datatypes such as
 11069 
 11070   datatype
 11071     ('a, 'b) term = Var 'a
 11072                   | App 'b ((('a, 'b) term) list)
 11073 
 11074 The new tactic  mutual_induct_tac [<var_1>, ..., <var_n>] i  performs
 11075 induction on mutually / indirectly recursive datatypes.
 11076 
 11077 Primrec equations are now stored in theory and can be accessed via
 11078 <function_name>.simps.
 11079 
 11080 INCOMPATIBILITIES:
 11081 
 11082   - Theories using datatypes must now have theory Datatype as an
 11083     ancestor.
 11084   - The specific <typename>.induct_tac no longer exists - use the
 11085     generic induct_tac instead.
 11086   - natE has been renamed to nat.exhaust - use exhaust_tac
 11087     instead of res_inst_tac ... natE. Note that the variable
 11088     names in nat.exhaust differ from the names in natE, this
 11089     may cause some "fragile" proofs to fail.
 11090   - The theorems split_<typename>_case and split_<typename>_case_asm
 11091     have been renamed to <typename>.split and <typename>.split_asm.
 11092   - Since default sorts of type variables are now handled correctly,
 11093     some datatype definitions may have to be annotated with explicit
 11094     sort constraints.
 11095   - Primrec definitions no longer require function name and type
 11096     of recursive argument.
 11097 
 11098 Consider using isatool fixdatatype to adapt your theories and proof
 11099 scripts to the new package (backup your sources first!).
 11100 
 11101 
 11102 * HOL/record package: considerably improved implementation; now
 11103 includes concrete syntax for record types, terms, updates; theorems
 11104 for surjective pairing and splitting !!-bound record variables; proof
 11105 support is as follows:
 11106 
 11107   1) standard conversions (selectors or updates applied to record
 11108 constructor terms) are part of the standard simpset;
 11109 
 11110   2) inject equations of the form ((x, y) = (x', y')) == x=x' & y=y' are
 11111 made part of standard simpset and claset via addIffs;
 11112 
 11113   3) a tactic for record field splitting (record_split_tac) is part of
 11114 the standard claset (addSWrapper);
 11115 
 11116 To get a better idea about these rules you may retrieve them via
 11117 something like 'thms "foo.simps"' or 'thms "foo.iffs"', where "foo" is
 11118 the name of your record type.
 11119 
 11120 The split tactic 3) conceptually simplifies by the following rule:
 11121 
 11122   "(!!x. PROP ?P x) == (!!a b. PROP ?P (a, b))"
 11123 
 11124 Thus any record variable that is bound by meta-all will automatically
 11125 blow up into some record constructor term, consequently the
 11126 simplifications of 1), 2) apply.  Thus force_tac, auto_tac etc. shall
 11127 solve record problems automatically.
 11128 
 11129 
 11130 * reorganized the main HOL image: HOL/Integ and String loaded by
 11131 default; theory Main includes everything;
 11132 
 11133 * automatic simplification of integer sums and comparisons, using cancellation;
 11134 
 11135 * added option_map_eq_Some and not_Some_eq to the default simpset and claset;
 11136 
 11137 * added disj_not1 = "(~P | Q) = (P --> Q)" to the default simpset;
 11138 
 11139 * many new identities for unions, intersections, set difference, etc.;
 11140 
 11141 * expand_if, expand_split, expand_sum_case and expand_nat_case are now
 11142 called split_if, split_split, split_sum_case and split_nat_case (to go
 11143 with add/delsplits);
 11144 
 11145 * HOL/Prod introduces simplification procedure unit_eq_proc rewriting
 11146 (?x::unit) = (); this is made part of the default simpset, which COULD
 11147 MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL under rare circumstances (consider
 11148 'Delsimprocs [unit_eq_proc];' as last resort); also note that
 11149 unit_abs_eta_conv is added in order to counter the effect of
 11150 unit_eq_proc on (%u::unit. f u), replacing it by f rather than by
 11151 %u.f();
 11152 
 11153 * HOL/Fun INCOMPATIBILITY: `inj_onto' is now called `inj_on' (which
 11154 makes more sense);
 11155 
 11156 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 11157   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 11158   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 11159 
 11160 * HOL/Relation INCOMPATIBILITY: renamed the relational operator r^-1
 11161 to 'converse' from 'inverse' (for compatibility with ZF and some
 11162 literature);
 11163 
 11164 * HOL/recdef can now declare non-recursive functions, with {} supplied as
 11165 the well-founded relation;
 11166 
 11167 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: the complement of set A is now written -A instead of
 11168     Compl A.  The "Compl" syntax remains available as input syntax for this
 11169     release ONLY.
 11170 
 11171 * HOL/Update: new theory of function updates:
 11172     f(a:=b) == %x. if x=a then b else f x
 11173 may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 11174 
 11175 * HOL/Vimage: new theory for inverse image of a function, syntax f-``B;
 11176 
 11177 * HOL/List:
 11178   - new function list_update written xs[i:=v] that updates the i-th
 11179     list position. May also be iterated as in xs[i:=a,j:=b,...].
 11180   - new function `upt' written [i..j(] which generates the list
 11181     [i,i+1,...,j-1], i.e. the upper bound is excluded. To include the upper
 11182     bound write [i..j], which is a shorthand for [i..j+1(].
 11183   - new lexicographic orderings and corresponding wellfoundedness theorems.
 11184 
 11185 * HOL/Arith:
 11186   - removed 'pred' (predecessor) function;
 11187   - generalized some theorems about n-1;
 11188   - many new laws about "div" and "mod";
 11189   - new laws about greatest common divisors (see theory ex/Primes);
 11190 
 11191 * HOL/Relation: renamed the relational operator r^-1 "converse"
 11192 instead of "inverse";
 11193 
 11194 * HOL/Induct/Multiset: a theory of multisets, including the wellfoundedness
 11195   of the multiset ordering;
 11196 
 11197 * directory HOL/Real: a construction of the reals using Dedekind cuts
 11198   (not included by default);
 11199 
 11200 * directory HOL/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY formalism;
 11201 
 11202 * directory HOL/Hoare: a new version of Hoare logic which permits many-sorted
 11203   programs, i.e. different program variables may have different types.
 11204 
 11205 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 11206   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 11207   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 11208 
 11209 
 11210 *** ZF ***
 11211 
 11212 * theory Main includes everything; INCOMPATIBILITY: theory ZF.thy contains
 11213   only the theorems proved on ZF.ML;
 11214 
 11215 * ZF INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 11216   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 11217   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 11218 
 11219 * ZF/Update: new theory of function updates
 11220     with default rewrite rule  f(x:=y) ` z = if(z=x, y, f`z)
 11221   may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 11222 
 11223 * in  let x=t in u(x), neither t nor u(x) has to be an FOL term.
 11224 
 11225 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 11226   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 11227   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 11228 
 11229 * case_tac provided for compatibility with HOL
 11230     (like the old excluded_middle_tac, but with subgoals swapped)
 11231 
 11232 
 11233 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
 11234 
 11235 * Pure: several new basic modules made available for general use, see
 11236 also src/Pure/README;
 11237 
 11238 * improved the theory data mechanism to support encapsulation (data
 11239 kind name replaced by private Object.kind, acting as authorization
 11240 key); new type-safe user interface via functor TheoryDataFun; generic
 11241 print_data function becomes basically useless;
 11242 
 11243 * removed global_names compatibility flag -- all theory declarations
 11244 are qualified by default;
 11245 
 11246 * module Pure/Syntax now offers quote / antiquote translation
 11247 functions (useful for Hoare logic etc. with implicit dependencies);
 11248 see HOL/ex/Antiquote for an example use;
 11249 
 11250 * Simplifier now offers conversions (asm_)(full_)rewrite: simpset ->
 11251 cterm -> thm;
 11252 
 11253 * new tactical CHANGED_GOAL for checking that a tactic modifies a
 11254 subgoal;
 11255 
 11256 * Display.print_goals function moved to Locale.print_goals;
 11257 
 11258 * standard print function for goals supports current_goals_markers
 11259 variable for marking begin of proof, end of proof, start of goal; the
 11260 default is ("", "", ""); setting current_goals_markers := ("<proof>",
 11261 "</proof>", "<goal>") causes SGML like tagged proof state printing,
 11262 for example;
 11263 
 11264 
 11265 
 11266 New in Isabelle98 (January 1998)
 11267 --------------------------------
 11268 
 11269 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 11270 
 11271 * changed lexical syntax of terms / types: dots made part of long
 11272 identifiers, e.g. "%x.x" no longer possible, should be "%x. x";
 11273 
 11274 * simpset (and claset) reference variable replaced by functions
 11275 simpset / simpset_ref;
 11276 
 11277 * no longer supports theory aliases (via merge) and non-trivial
 11278 implicit merge of thms' signatures;
 11279 
 11280 * most internal names of constants changed due to qualified names;
 11281 
 11282 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML);
 11283 
 11284 
 11285 *** General Changes ***
 11286 
 11287 * hierachically structured name spaces (for consts, types, axms, thms
 11288 etc.); new lexical class 'longid' (e.g. Foo.bar.x) may render much of
 11289 old input syntactically incorrect (e.g. "%x.x"); COMPATIBILITY:
 11290 isatool fixdots ensures space after dots (e.g. "%x. x"); set
 11291 long_names for fully qualified output names; NOTE: ML programs
 11292 (special tactics, packages etc.) referring to internal names may have
 11293 to be adapted to cope with fully qualified names; in case of severe
 11294 backward campatibility problems try setting 'global_names' at compile
 11295 time to have enrything declared within a flat name space; one may also
 11296 fine tune name declarations in theories via the 'global' and 'local'
 11297 section;
 11298 
 11299 * reimplemented the implicit simpset and claset using the new anytype
 11300 data filed in signatures; references simpset:simpset ref etc. are
 11301 replaced by functions simpset:unit->simpset and
 11302 simpset_ref:unit->simpset ref; COMPATIBILITY: use isatool fixclasimp
 11303 to patch your ML files accordingly;
 11304 
 11305 * HTML output now includes theory graph data for display with Java
 11306 applet or isatool browser; data generated automatically via isatool
 11307 usedir (see -i option, ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS);
 11308 
 11309 * defs may now be conditional; improved rewrite_goals_tac to handle
 11310 conditional equations;
 11311 
 11312 * defs now admits additional type arguments, using TYPE('a) syntax;
 11313 
 11314 * theory aliases via merge (e.g. M=A+B+C) no longer supported, always
 11315 creates a new theory node; implicit merge of thms' signatures is
 11316 restricted to 'trivial' ones; COMPATIBILITY: one may have to use
 11317 transfer:theory->thm->thm in (rare) cases;
 11318 
 11319 * improved handling of draft signatures / theories; draft thms (and
 11320 ctyps, cterms) are automatically promoted to real ones;
 11321 
 11322 * slightly changed interfaces for oracles: admit many per theory, named
 11323 (e.g. oracle foo = mlfun), additional name argument for invoke_oracle;
 11324 
 11325 * print_goals: optional output of const types (set show_consts and
 11326 show_types);
 11327 
 11328 * improved output of warnings (###) and errors (***);
 11329 
 11330 * subgoal_tac displays a warning if the new subgoal has type variables;
 11331 
 11332 * removed old README and Makefiles;
 11333 
 11334 * replaced print_goals_ref hook by print_current_goals_fn and result_error_fn;
 11335 
 11336 * removed obsolete init_pps and init_database;
 11337 
 11338 * deleted the obsolete tactical STATE, which was declared by
 11339     fun STATE tacfun st = tacfun st st;
 11340 
 11341 * cd and use now support path variables, e.g. $ISABELLE_HOME, or ~
 11342 (which abbreviates $HOME);
 11343 
 11344 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML); COMPATIBILITY:
 11345 use isatool fixseq to adapt your ML programs (this works for fully
 11346 qualified references to the Sequence structure only!);
 11347 
 11348 * use_thy no longer requires writable current directory; it always
 11349 reloads .ML *and* .thy file, if either one is out of date;
 11350 
 11351 
 11352 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 11353 
 11354 * Clarify_tac, clarify_tac, clarify_step_tac, Clarify_step_tac: new
 11355 tactics that use classical reasoning to simplify a subgoal without
 11356 splitting it into several subgoals;
 11357 
 11358 * Safe_tac: like safe_tac but uses the default claset;
 11359 
 11360 
 11361 *** Simplifier ***
 11362 
 11363 * added simplification meta rules:
 11364     (asm_)(full_)simplify: simpset -> thm -> thm;
 11365 
 11366 * simplifier.ML no longer part of Pure -- has to be loaded by object
 11367 logics (again);
 11368 
 11369 * added prems argument to simplification procedures;
 11370 
 11371 * HOL, FOL, ZF: added infix function `addsplits':
 11372   instead of `<simpset> setloop (split_tac <thms>)'
 11373   you can simply write `<simpset> addsplits <thms>'
 11374 
 11375 
 11376 *** Syntax ***
 11377 
 11378 * TYPE('a) syntax for type reflection terms;
 11379 
 11380 * no longer handles consts with name "" -- declare as 'syntax' instead;
 11381 
 11382 * pretty printer: changed order of mixfix annotation preference (again!);
 11383 
 11384 * Pure: fixed idt/idts vs. pttrn/pttrns syntactic categories;
 11385 
 11386 
 11387 *** HOL ***
 11388 
 11389 * HOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 11390   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 11391 
 11392 * HOL/TLA: Stephan Merz's formalization of Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions;
 11393 
 11394 * HOL/Auth: new protocol proofs including some for the Internet
 11395   protocol TLS;
 11396 
 11397 * HOL/Map: new theory of `maps' a la VDM;
 11398 
 11399 * HOL/simplifier: simplification procedures nat_cancel_sums for
 11400 cancelling out common nat summands from =, <, <= (in)equalities, or
 11401 differences; simplification procedures nat_cancel_factor for
 11402 cancelling common factor from =, <, <= (in)equalities over natural
 11403 sums; nat_cancel contains both kinds of procedures, it is installed by
 11404 default in Arith.thy -- this COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL;
 11405 
 11406 * HOL/simplifier: terms of the form
 11407   `? x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x)'  (or t=x)
 11408   are rewritten to
 11409   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t)',
 11410   and those of the form
 11411   `! x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x) --> R(x)'  (or t=x)
 11412   are rewritten to
 11413   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t) --> R(t)',
 11414 
 11415 * HOL/datatype
 11416   Each datatype `t' now comes with a theorem `split_t_case' of the form
 11417 
 11418   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 11419      ( (!y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 --> P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) &
 11420         ...
 11421        (!y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn --> P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 11422      )
 11423 
 11424   and a theorem `split_t_case_asm' of the form
 11425 
 11426   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 11427     ~( (? y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 & ~P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) |
 11428         ...
 11429        (? y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn & ~P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 11430      )
 11431   which can be added to a simpset via `addsplits'. The existing theorems
 11432   expand_list_case and expand_option_case have been renamed to
 11433   split_list_case and split_option_case.
 11434 
 11435 * HOL/Arithmetic:
 11436   - `pred n' is automatically converted to `n-1'.
 11437     Users are strongly encouraged not to use `pred' any longer,
 11438     because it will disappear altogether at some point.
 11439   - Users are strongly encouraged to write "0 < n" rather than
 11440     "n ~= 0". Theorems and proof tools have been modified towards this
 11441     `standard'.
 11442 
 11443 * HOL/Lists:
 11444   the function "set_of_list" has been renamed "set" (and its theorems too);
 11445   the function "nth" now takes its arguments in the reverse order and
 11446   has acquired the infix notation "!" as in "xs!n".
 11447 
 11448 * HOL/Set: UNIV is now a constant and is no longer translated to Compl{};
 11449 
 11450 * HOL/Set: The operator (UN x.B x) now abbreviates (UN x:UNIV. B x) and its
 11451   specialist theorems (like UN1_I) are gone.  Similarly for (INT x.B x);
 11452 
 11453 * HOL/record: extensible records with schematic structural subtyping
 11454 (single inheritance); EXPERIMENTAL version demonstrating the encoding,
 11455 still lacks various theorems and concrete record syntax;
 11456 
 11457 
 11458 *** HOLCF ***
 11459 
 11460 * removed "axioms" and "generated by" sections;
 11461 
 11462 * replaced "ops" section by extended "consts" section, which is capable of
 11463   handling the continuous function space "->" directly;
 11464 
 11465 * domain package:
 11466   . proves theorems immediately and stores them in the theory,
 11467   . creates hierachical name space,
 11468   . now uses normal mixfix annotations (instead of cinfix...),
 11469   . minor changes to some names and values (for consistency),
 11470   . e.g. cases -> casedist, dists_eq -> dist_eqs, [take_lemma] -> take_lemmas,
 11471   . separator between mutual domain defs: changed "," to "and",
 11472   . improved handling of sort constraints;  now they have to
 11473     appear on the left-hand side of the equations only;
 11474 
 11475 * fixed LAM <x,y,zs>.b syntax;
 11476 
 11477 * added extended adm_tac to simplifier in HOLCF -- can now discharge
 11478 adm (%x. P (t x)), where P is chainfinite and t continuous;
 11479 
 11480 
 11481 *** FOL and ZF ***
 11482 
 11483 * FOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 11484   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 11485 
 11486 * qed_spec_mp, qed_goal_spec_mp, qed_goalw_spec_mp are available, as
 11487 in HOL, they strip ALL and --> from proved theorems;
 11488 
 11489 
 11490 
 11491 New in Isabelle94-8 (May 1997)
 11492 ------------------------------
 11493 
 11494 *** General Changes ***
 11495 
 11496 * new utilities to build / run / maintain Isabelle etc. (in parts
 11497 still somewhat experimental); old Makefiles etc. still functional;
 11498 
 11499 * new 'Isabelle System Manual';
 11500 
 11501 * INSTALL text, together with ./configure and ./build scripts;
 11502 
 11503 * reimplemented type inference for greater efficiency, better error
 11504 messages and clean internal interface;
 11505 
 11506 * prlim command for dealing with lots of subgoals (an easier way of
 11507 setting goals_limit);
 11508 
 11509 
 11510 *** Syntax ***
 11511 
 11512 * supports alternative (named) syntax tables (parser and pretty
 11513 printer); internal interface is provided by add_modesyntax(_i);
 11514 
 11515 * Pure, FOL, ZF, HOL, HOLCF now support symbolic input and output; to
 11516 be used in conjunction with the Isabelle symbol font; uses the
 11517 "symbols" syntax table;
 11518 
 11519 * added token_translation interface (may translate name tokens in
 11520 arbitrary ways, dependent on their type (free, bound, tfree, ...) and
 11521 the current print_mode); IMPORTANT: user print translation functions
 11522 are responsible for marking newly introduced bounds
 11523 (Syntax.mark_boundT);
 11524 
 11525 * token translations for modes "xterm" and "xterm_color" that display
 11526 names in bold, underline etc. or colors (which requires a color
 11527 version of xterm);
 11528 
 11529 * infixes may now be declared with names independent of their syntax;
 11530 
 11531 * added typed_print_translation (like print_translation, but may
 11532 access type of constant);
 11533 
 11534 
 11535 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 11536 
 11537 Blast_tac: a new tactic!  It is often more powerful than fast_tac, but has
 11538 some limitations.  Blast_tac...
 11539   + ignores addss, addbefore, addafter; this restriction is intrinsic
 11540   + ignores elimination rules that don't have the correct format
 11541         (the conclusion MUST be a formula variable)
 11542   + ignores types, which can make HOL proofs fail
 11543   + rules must not require higher-order unification, e.g. apply_type in ZF
 11544     [message "Function Var's argument not a bound variable" relates to this]
 11545   + its proof strategy is more general but can actually be slower
 11546 
 11547 * substitution with equality assumptions no longer permutes other
 11548 assumptions;
 11549 
 11550 * minor changes in semantics of addafter (now called addaltern); renamed
 11551 setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to compWrapper; added safe wrapper
 11552 (and access functions for it);
 11553 
 11554 * improved combination of classical reasoner and simplifier:
 11555   + functions for handling clasimpsets
 11556   + improvement of addss: now the simplifier is called _after_ the
 11557     safe steps.
 11558   + safe variant of addss called addSss: uses safe simplifications
 11559     _during_ the safe steps. It is more complete as it allows multiple
 11560     instantiations of unknowns (e.g. with slow_tac).
 11561 
 11562 *** Simplifier ***
 11563 
 11564 * added interface for simplification procedures (functions that
 11565 produce *proven* rewrite rules on the fly, depending on current
 11566 redex);
 11567 
 11568 * ordering on terms as parameter (used for ordered rewriting);
 11569 
 11570 * new functions delcongs, deleqcongs, and Delcongs. richer rep_ss;
 11571 
 11572 * the solver is now split into a safe and an unsafe part.
 11573 This should be invisible for the normal user, except that the
 11574 functions setsolver and addsolver have been renamed to setSolver and
 11575 addSolver; added safe_asm_full_simp_tac;
 11576 
 11577 
 11578 *** HOL ***
 11579 
 11580 * a generic induction tactic `induct_tac' which works for all datatypes and
 11581 also for type `nat';
 11582 
 11583 * a generic case distinction tactic `exhaust_tac' which works for all
 11584 datatypes and also for type `nat';
 11585 
 11586 * each datatype comes with a function `size';
 11587 
 11588 * patterns in case expressions allow tuple patterns as arguments to
 11589 constructors, for example `case x of [] => ... | (x,y,z)#ps => ...';
 11590 
 11591 * primrec now also works with type nat;
 11592 
 11593 * recdef: a new declaration form, allows general recursive functions to be
 11594 defined in theory files.  See HOL/ex/Fib, HOL/ex/Primes, HOL/Subst/Unify.
 11595 
 11596 * the constant for negation has been renamed from "not" to "Not" to
 11597 harmonize with FOL, ZF, LK, etc.;
 11598 
 11599 * HOL/ex/LFilter theory of a corecursive "filter" functional for
 11600 infinite lists;
 11601 
 11602 * HOL/Modelcheck demonstrates invocation of model checker oracle;
 11603 
 11604 * HOL/ex/Ring.thy declares cring_simp, which solves equational
 11605 problems in commutative rings, using axiomatic type classes for + and *;
 11606 
 11607 * more examples in HOL/MiniML and HOL/Auth;
 11608 
 11609 * more default rewrite rules for quantifiers, union/intersection;
 11610 
 11611 * a new constant `arbitrary == @x.False';
 11612 
 11613 * HOLCF/IOA replaces old HOL/IOA;
 11614 
 11615 * HOLCF changes: derived all rules and arities
 11616   + axiomatic type classes instead of classes
 11617   + typedef instead of faking type definitions
 11618   + eliminated the internal constants less_fun, less_cfun, UU_fun, UU_cfun etc.
 11619   + new axclasses cpo, chfin, flat with flat < chfin < pcpo < cpo < po
 11620   + eliminated the types void, one, tr
 11621   + use unit lift and bool lift (with translations) instead of one and tr
 11622   + eliminated blift from Lift3.thy (use Def instead of blift)
 11623   all eliminated rules are derived as theorems --> no visible changes ;
 11624 
 11625 
 11626 *** ZF ***
 11627 
 11628 * ZF now has Fast_tac, Simp_tac and Auto_tac.  Union_iff is a now a default
 11629 rewrite rule; this may affect some proofs.  eq_cs is gone but can be put back
 11630 as ZF_cs addSIs [equalityI];
 11631 
 11632 
 11633 
 11634 New in Isabelle94-7 (November 96)
 11635 ---------------------------------
 11636 
 11637 * allowing negative levels (as offsets) in prlev and choplev;
 11638 
 11639 * super-linear speedup for large simplifications;
 11640 
 11641 * FOL, ZF and HOL now use miniscoping: rewriting pushes
 11642 quantifications in as far as possible (COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS
 11643 FAIL); can suppress it using the command Delsimps (ex_simps @
 11644 all_simps); De Morgan laws are also now included, by default;
 11645 
 11646 * improved printing of ==>  :  ~:
 11647 
 11648 * new object-logic "Sequents" adds linear logic, while replacing LK
 11649 and Modal (thanks to Sara Kalvala);
 11650 
 11651 * HOL/Auth: correctness proofs for authentication protocols;
 11652 
 11653 * HOL: new auto_tac combines rewriting and classical reasoning (many
 11654 examples on HOL/Auth);
 11655 
 11656 * HOL: new command AddIffs for declaring theorems of the form P=Q to
 11657 the rewriter and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 11658 
 11659 * function uresult no longer returns theorems in "standard" format;
 11660 regain previous version by: val uresult = standard o uresult;
 11661 
 11662 
 11663 
 11664 New in Isabelle94-6
 11665 -------------------
 11666 
 11667 * oracles -- these establish an interface between Isabelle and trusted
 11668 external reasoners, which may deliver results as theorems;
 11669 
 11670 * proof objects (in particular record all uses of oracles);
 11671 
 11672 * Simp_tac, Fast_tac, etc. that refer to implicit simpset / claset;
 11673 
 11674 * "constdefs" section in theory files;
 11675 
 11676 * "primrec" section (HOL) no longer requires names;
 11677 
 11678 * internal type "tactic" now simply "thm -> thm Sequence.seq";
 11679 
 11680 
 11681 
 11682 New in Isabelle94-5
 11683 -------------------
 11684 
 11685 * reduced space requirements;
 11686 
 11687 * automatic HTML generation from theories;
 11688 
 11689 * theory files no longer require "..." (quotes) around most types;
 11690 
 11691 * new examples, including two proofs of the Church-Rosser theorem;
 11692 
 11693 * non-curried (1994) version of HOL is no longer distributed;
 11694 
 11695 
 11696 
 11697 New in Isabelle94-4
 11698 -------------------
 11699 
 11700 * greatly reduced space requirements;
 11701 
 11702 * theory files (.thy) no longer require \...\ escapes at line breaks;
 11703 
 11704 * searchable theorem database (see the section "Retrieving theorems" on
 11705 page 8 of the Reference Manual);
 11706 
 11707 * new examples, including Grabczewski's monumental case study of the
 11708 Axiom of Choice;
 11709 
 11710 * The previous version of HOL renamed to Old_HOL;
 11711 
 11712 * The new version of HOL (previously called CHOL) uses a curried syntax
 11713 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b);
 11714 
 11715 * Mutually recursive inductive definitions finally work in HOL;
 11716 
 11717 * In ZF, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions and
 11718 translates to the operator "split";
 11719 
 11720 
 11721 
 11722 New in Isabelle94-3
 11723 -------------------
 11724 
 11725 * new infix operator, addss, allowing the classical reasoner to
 11726 perform simplification at each step of its search.  Example:
 11727         fast_tac (cs addss ss)
 11728 
 11729 * a new logic, CHOL, the same as HOL, but with a curried syntax
 11730 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b).  Also pairs
 11731 look like (a,b) instead of <a,b>;
 11732 
 11733 * PLEASE NOTE: CHOL will eventually replace HOL!
 11734 
 11735 * In CHOL, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions.
 11736 It translates to the operator "split".  A new theory of integers is available;
 11737 
 11738 * In ZF, integer numerals now denote two's-complement binary integers.
 11739 Arithmetic operations can be performed by rewriting.  See ZF/ex/Bin.ML;
 11740 
 11741 * Many new examples: I/O automata, Church-Rosser theorem, equivalents
 11742 of the Axiom of Choice;
 11743 
 11744 
 11745 
 11746 New in Isabelle94-2
 11747 -------------------
 11748 
 11749 * Significantly faster resolution;
 11750 
 11751 * the different sections in a .thy file can now be mixed and repeated
 11752 freely;
 11753 
 11754 * Database of theorems for FOL, HOL and ZF.  New
 11755 commands including qed, qed_goal and bind_thm store theorems in the database.
 11756 
 11757 * Simple database queries: return a named theorem (get_thm) or all theorems of
 11758 a given theory (thms_of), or find out what theory a theorem was proved in
 11759 (theory_of_thm);
 11760 
 11761 * Bugs fixed in the inductive definition and datatype packages;
 11762 
 11763 * The classical reasoner provides deepen_tac and depth_tac, making FOL_dup_cs
 11764 and HOL_dup_cs obsolete;
 11765 
 11766 * Syntactic ambiguities caused by the new treatment of syntax in Isabelle94-1
 11767 have been removed;
 11768 
 11769 * Simpler definition of function space in ZF;
 11770 
 11771 * new results about cardinal and ordinal arithmetic in ZF;
 11772 
 11773 * 'subtype' facility in HOL for introducing new types as subsets of existing
 11774 types;
 11775 
 11776 :mode=isabelle-news:wrap=hard:maxLineLen=72:
