     1 Isabelle NEWS -- history user-relevant changes
     2 ==============================================
     3 
     4 New in this Isabelle version
     5 ----------------------------
     6 
     7 *** HOL ***
     8 
     9 * Fact name generalization and consolidation:
    10   neq_one_mod_two, mod_2_not_eq_zero_eq_one_int ~> not_mod_2_eq_0_eq_1
    11 
    12 
    13 
    14 New in Isabelle2013-1 (November 2013)
    15 -------------------------------------
    16 
    17 *** General ***
    18 
    19 * Discontinued obsolete 'uses' within theory header.  Note that
    20 commands like 'ML_file' work without separate declaration of file
    21 dependencies.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    22 
    23 * Discontinued redundant 'use' command, which was superseded by
    24 'ML_file' in Isabelle2013.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    25 
    26 * Simplified subscripts within identifiers, using plain \<^sub>
    27 instead of the second copy \<^isub> and \<^isup>.  Superscripts are
    28 only for literal tokens within notation; explicit mixfix annotations
    29 for consts or fixed variables may be used as fall-back for unusual
    30 names.  Obsolete \<twosuperior> has been expanded to \<^sup>2 in
    31 Isabelle/HOL.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "isabelle update_sub_sup" to
    32 standardize symbols as a starting point for further manual cleanup.
    33 The ML reference variable "legacy_isub_isup" may be set as temporary
    34 workaround, to make the prover accept a subset of the old identifier
    35 syntax.
    36 
    37 * Document antiquotations: term style "isub" has been renamed to
    38 "sub".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    39 
    40 * Uniform management of "quick_and_dirty" as system option (see also
    41 "isabelle options"), configuration option within the context (see also
    42 Config.get in Isabelle/ML), and attribute in Isabelle/Isar.  Minor
    43 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use more official Isabelle means to access
    44 quick_and_dirty, instead of historical poking into mutable reference.
    45 
    46 * Renamed command 'print_configs' to 'print_options'.  Minor
    47 INCOMPATIBILITY.
    48 
    49 * Proper diagnostic command 'print_state'.  Old 'pr' (with its
    50 implicit change of some global references) is retained for now as
    51 control command, e.g. for ProofGeneral 3.7.x.
    52 
    53 * Discontinued 'print_drafts' command with its old-fashioned PS output
    54 and Unix command-line print spooling.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: use
    55 'display_drafts' instead and print via the regular document viewer.
    56 
    57 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual,
    58 eliminated old "ref" manual.
    59 
    60 
    61 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
    62 
    63 * New manual "jedit" for Isabelle/jEdit, see isabelle doc or
    64 Documentation panel.
    65 
    66 * Dockable window "Documentation" provides access to Isabelle
    67 documentation.
    68 
    69 * Dockable window "Find" provides query operations for formal entities
    70 (GUI front-end to 'find_theorems' command).
    71 
    72 * Dockable window "Sledgehammer" manages asynchronous / parallel
    73 sledgehammer runs over existing document sources, independently of
    74 normal editing and checking process.
    75 
    76 * Dockable window "Timing" provides an overview of relevant command
    77 timing information.
    78 
    79 * Improved dockable window "Theories": Continuous checking of proof
    80 document (visible and required parts) may be controlled explicitly,
    81 using check box or shortcut "C+e ENTER".  Individual theory nodes may
    82 be marked explicitly as required and checked in full, using check box
    83 or shortcut "C+e SPACE".
    84 
    85 * Strictly monotonic document update, without premature cancellation of
    86 running transactions that are still needed: avoid reset/restart of
    87 such command executions while editing.
    88 
    89 * Improved completion mechanism, which is now managed by the
    90 Isabelle/jEdit plugin instead of SideKick.  Refined table of Isabelle
    91 symbol abbreviations (see $ISABELLE_HOME/etc/symbols).
    92 
    93 * Support for asynchronous print functions, as overlay to existing
    94 document content.
    95 
    96 * Support for automatic tools in HOL, which try to prove or disprove
    97 toplevel theorem statements.
    98 
    99 * Action isabelle.reset-font-size resets main text area font size
   100 according to Isabelle/Scala plugin option "jedit_font_reset_size"
   101 (cf. keyboard shortcut C+0).
   102 
   103 * File specifications in jEdit (e.g. file browser) may refer to
   104 $ISABELLE_HOME on all platforms.  Discontinued obsolete
   105 $ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS variable.
   106 
   107 * Improved support for Linux look-and-feel "GTK+", see also "Utilities
   108 / Global Options / Appearance".
   109 
   110 * Improved support of native Mac OS X functionality via "MacOSX"
   111 plugin, which is now enabled by default.
   112 
   113 
   114 *** Pure ***
   115 
   116 * Commands 'interpretation' and 'sublocale' are now target-sensitive.
   117 In particular, 'interpretation' allows for non-persistent
   118 interpretation within "context ... begin ... end" blocks offering a
   119 light-weight alternative to 'sublocale'.  See "isar-ref" manual for
   120 details.
   121 
   122 * Improved locales diagnostic command 'print_dependencies'.
   123 
   124 * Discontinued obsolete 'axioms' command, which has been marked as
   125 legacy since Isabelle2009-2.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use 'axiomatization'
   126 instead, while observing its uniform scope for polymorphism.
   127 
   128 * Discontinued empty name bindings in 'axiomatization'.
   129 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   130 
   131 * System option "proofs" has been discontinued.  Instead the global
   132 state of Proofterm.proofs is persistently compiled into logic images
   133 as required, notably HOL-Proofs.  Users no longer need to change
   134 Proofterm.proofs dynamically.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   135 
   136 * Syntax translation functions (print_translation etc.) always depend
   137 on Proof.context.  Discontinued former "(advanced)" option -- this is
   138 now the default.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   139 
   140 * Former global reference trace_unify_fail is now available as
   141 configuration option "unify_trace_failure" (global context only).
   142 
   143 * SELECT_GOAL now retains the syntactic context of the overall goal
   144 state (schematic variables etc.).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare
   145 situations.
   146 
   147 
   148 *** HOL ***
   149 
   150 * Stronger precedence of syntax for big intersection and union on
   151 sets, in accordance with corresponding lattice operations.
   152 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   153 
   154 * Notation "{p:A. P}" now allows tuple patterns as well.
   155 
   156 * Nested case expressions are now translated in a separate check phase
   157 rather than during parsing. The data for case combinators is separated
   158 from the datatype package. The declaration attribute
   159 "case_translation" can be used to register new case combinators:
   160 
   161   declare [[case_translation case_combinator constructor1 ... constructorN]]
   162 
   163 * Code generator:
   164   - 'code_printing' unifies 'code_const' / 'code_type' / 'code_class' /
   165     'code_instance'.
   166   - 'code_identifier' declares name hints for arbitrary identifiers in
   167     generated code, subsuming 'code_modulename'.
   168 
   169 See the isar-ref manual for syntax diagrams, and the HOL theories for
   170 examples.
   171 
   172 * Attibute 'code': 'code' now declares concrete and abstract code
   173 equations uniformly.  Use explicit 'code equation' and 'code abstract'
   174 to distinguish both when desired.
   175 
   176 * Discontinued theories Code_Integer and Efficient_Nat by a more
   177 fine-grain stack of theories Code_Target_Int, Code_Binary_Nat,
   178 Code_Target_Nat and Code_Target_Numeral.  See the tutorial on code
   179 generation for details.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   180 
   181 * Numeric types are mapped by default to target language numerals:
   182 natural (replaces former code_numeral) and integer (replaces former
   183 code_int).  Conversions are available as integer_of_natural /
   184 natural_of_integer / integer_of_nat / nat_of_integer (in HOL) and
   185 Code_Numeral.integer_of_natural / Code_Numeral.natural_of_integer (in
   186 ML).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   187 
   188 * Function package: For mutually recursive functions f and g, separate
   189 cases rules f.cases and g.cases are generated instead of unusable
   190 f_g.cases which exposed internal sum types. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
   191 in the case that the unusable rule was used nevertheless.
   192 
   193 * Function package: For each function f, new rules f.elims are
   194 generated, which eliminate equalities of the form "f x = t".
   195 
   196 * New command 'fun_cases' derives ad-hoc elimination rules for
   197 function equations as simplified instances of f.elims, analogous to
   198 inductive_cases.  See ~~/src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy for some examples.
   199 
   200 * Lifting:
   201   - parametrized correspondence relations are now supported:
   202     + parametricity theorems for the raw term can be specified in 
   203       the command lift_definition, which allow us to generate stronger
   204       transfer rules
   205     + setup_lifting generates stronger transfer rules if parametric
   206       correspondence relation can be generated
   207     + various new properties of the relator must be specified to support
   208       parametricity
   209     + parametricity theorem for the Quotient relation can be specified
   210   - setup_lifting generates domain rules for the Transfer package
   211   - stronger reflexivity prover of respectfulness theorems for type
   212     copies
   213   - ===> and --> are now local. The symbols can be introduced
   214     by interpreting the locale lifting_syntax (typically in an
   215     anonymous context)
   216   - Lifting/Transfer relevant parts of Library/Quotient_* are now in 
   217     Main. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
   218   - new commands for restoring and deleting Lifting/Transfer context:
   219     lifting_forget, lifting_update
   220   - the command print_quotmaps was renamed to print_quot_maps. 
   221     INCOMPATIBILITY
   222 
   223 * Transfer:
   224   - better support for domains in Transfer: replace Domainp T 
   225     by the actual invariant in a transferred goal
   226   - transfer rules can have as assumptions other transfer rules
   227   - Experimental support for transferring from the raw level to the
   228     abstract level: Transfer.transferred attribute
   229   - Attribute version of the transfer method: untransferred attribute
   230 
   231 * Reification and reflection:
   232   - Reification is now directly available in HOL-Main in structure
   233     "Reification".
   234   - Reflection now handles multiple lists with variables also.
   235   - The whole reflection stack has been decomposed into conversions.
   236 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   237 
   238 * Revised devices for recursive definitions over finite sets:
   239   - Only one fundamental fold combinator on finite set remains:
   240     Finite_Set.fold :: ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
   241     This is now identity on infinite sets.
   242   - Locales ("mini packages") for fundamental definitions with
   243     Finite_Set.fold: folding, folding_idem.
   244   - Locales comm_monoid_set, semilattice_order_set and
   245     semilattice_neutr_order_set for big operators on sets.
   246     See theory Big_Operators for canonical examples.
   247     Note that foundational constants comm_monoid_set.F and
   248     semilattice_set.F correspond to former combinators fold_image
   249     and fold1 respectively.  These are now gone.  You may use
   250     those foundational constants as substitutes, but it is
   251     preferable to interpret the above locales accordingly.
   252   - Dropped class ab_semigroup_idem_mult (special case of lattice,
   253     no longer needed in connection with Finite_Set.fold etc.)
   254   - Fact renames:
   255       card.union_inter ~> card_Un_Int [symmetric]
   256       card.union_disjoint ~> card_Un_disjoint
   257 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   258 
   259 * Locale hierarchy for abstract orderings and (semi)lattices.
   260 
   261 * Complete_Partial_Order.admissible is defined outside the type class
   262 ccpo, but with mandatory prefix ccpo. Admissibility theorems lose the
   263 class predicate assumption or sort constraint when possible.
   264 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   265 
   266 * Introduce type class "conditionally_complete_lattice": Like a
   267 complete lattice but does not assume the existence of the top and
   268 bottom elements.  Allows to generalize some lemmas about reals and
   269 extended reals.  Removed SupInf and replaced it by the instantiation
   270 of conditionally_complete_lattice for real. Renamed lemmas about
   271 conditionally-complete lattice from Sup_... to cSup_... and from
   272 Inf_...  to cInf_... to avoid hidding of similar complete lattice
   273 lemmas.
   274 
   275 * Introduce type class linear_continuum as combination of
   276 conditionally-complete lattices and inner dense linorders which have
   277 more than one element.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   278 
   279 * Introduced type classes order_top and order_bot. The old classes top
   280 and bot only contain the syntax without assumptions.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
   281 Rename bot -> order_bot, top -> order_top
   282 
   283 * Introduce type classes "no_top" and "no_bot" for orderings without
   284 top and bottom elements.
   285 
   286 * Split dense_linorder into inner_dense_order and no_top, no_bot.
   287 
   288 * Complex_Main: Unify and move various concepts from
   289 HOL-Multivariate_Analysis to HOL-Complex_Main.
   290 
   291  - Introduce type class (lin)order_topology and
   292    linear_continuum_topology.  Allows to generalize theorems about
   293    limits and order.  Instances are reals and extended reals.
   294 
   295  - continuous and continuos_on from Multivariate_Analysis:
   296    "continuous" is the continuity of a function at a filter.  "isCont"
   297    is now an abbrevitation: "isCont x f == continuous (at _) f".
   298 
   299    Generalized continuity lemmas from isCont to continuous on an
   300    arbitrary filter.
   301 
   302  - compact from Multivariate_Analysis. Use Bolzano's lemma to prove
   303    compactness of closed intervals on reals. Continuous functions
   304    attain infimum and supremum on compact sets. The inverse of a
   305    continuous function is continuous, when the function is continuous
   306    on a compact set.
   307 
   308  - connected from Multivariate_Analysis. Use it to prove the
   309    intermediate value theorem. Show connectedness of intervals on
   310    linear_continuum_topology).
   311 
   312  - first_countable_topology from Multivariate_Analysis. Is used to
   313    show equivalence of properties on the neighbourhood filter of x and
   314    on all sequences converging to x.
   315 
   316  - FDERIV: Definition of has_derivative moved to Deriv.thy. Moved
   317    theorems from Library/FDERIV.thy to Deriv.thy and base the
   318    definition of DERIV on FDERIV. Add variants of DERIV and FDERIV
   319    which are restricted to sets, i.e. to represent derivatives from
   320    left or right.
   321 
   322  - Removed the within-filter. It is replaced by the principal filter:
   323 
   324      F within X = inf F (principal X)
   325 
   326  - Introduce "at x within U" as a single constant, "at x" is now an
   327    abbreviation for "at x within UNIV"
   328 
   329  - Introduce named theorem collections tendsto_intros,
   330    continuous_intros, continuous_on_intros and FDERIV_intros. Theorems
   331    in tendsto_intros (or FDERIV_intros) are also available as
   332    tendsto_eq_intros (or FDERIV_eq_intros) where the right-hand side
   333    is replaced by a congruence rule. This allows to apply them as
   334    intro rules and then proving equivalence by the simplifier.
   335 
   336  - Restructured theories in HOL-Complex_Main:
   337 
   338    + Moved RealDef and RComplete into Real
   339 
   340    + Introduced Topological_Spaces and moved theorems about
   341      topological spaces, filters, limits and continuity to it
   342 
   343    + Renamed RealVector to Real_Vector_Spaces
   344 
   345    + Split Lim, SEQ, Series into Topological_Spaces,
   346      Real_Vector_Spaces, and Limits
   347 
   348    + Moved Ln and Log to Transcendental
   349 
   350    + Moved theorems about continuity from Deriv to Topological_Spaces
   351 
   352  - Remove various auxiliary lemmas.
   353 
   354 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   355 
   356 * Nitpick:
   357   - Added option "spy"
   358   - Reduce incidence of "too high arity" errors
   359 
   360 * Sledgehammer:
   361   - Renamed option:
   362       isar_shrink ~> isar_compress
   363     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   364   - Added options "isar_try0", "spy"
   365   - Better support for "isar_proofs"
   366   - MaSh has been fined-tuned and now runs as a local server
   367 
   368 * Improved support for ad hoc overloading of constants (see also
   369 isar-ref manual and ~~/src/HOL/ex/Adhoc_Overloading_Examples.thy).
   370 
   371 * Library/Polynomial.thy:
   372   - Use lifting for primitive definitions.
   373   - Explicit conversions from and to lists of coefficients, used for
   374     generated code.
   375   - Replaced recursion operator poly_rec by fold_coeffs.
   376   - Prefer pre-existing gcd operation for gcd.
   377   - Fact renames:
   378     poly_eq_iff ~> poly_eq_poly_eq_iff
   379     poly_ext ~> poly_eqI
   380     expand_poly_eq ~> poly_eq_iff
   381 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
   382 
   383 * New Library/Simps_Case_Conv.thy: Provides commands simps_of_case and
   384 case_of_simps to convert function definitions between a list of
   385 equations with patterns on the lhs and a single equation with case
   386 expressions on the rhs. See also Ex/Simps_Case_Conv_Examples.thy.
   387 
   388 * New Library/FSet.thy: type of finite sets defined as a subtype of
   389 sets defined by Lifting/Transfer.
   390 
   391 * Discontinued theory src/HOL/Library/Eval_Witness.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   392 
   393 * Consolidation of library theories on product orders:
   394 
   395     Product_Lattice ~> Product_Order -- pointwise order on products
   396     Product_ord ~> Product_Lexorder -- lexicographic order on products
   397 
   398 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   399 
   400 * Imperative-HOL: The MREC combinator is considered legacy and no
   401 longer included by default. INCOMPATIBILITY, use partial_function
   402 instead, or import theory Legacy_Mrec as a fallback.
   403 
   404 * HOL-Algebra: Discontinued theories ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/abstract and
   405 ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/poly.  Existing theories should be based on
   406 ~~/src/HOL/Library/Polynomial instead.  The latter provides
   407 integration with HOL's type classes for rings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   408 
   409 * HOL-BNF:
   410   - Various improvements to BNF-based (co)datatype package, including
   411     new commands "primrec_new", "primcorec", and
   412     "datatype_new_compat", as well as documentation. See
   413     "datatypes.pdf" for details.
   414   - New "coinduction" method to avoid some boilerplate (compared to
   415     coinduct).
   416   - Renamed keywords:
   417     data ~> datatype_new
   418     codata ~> codatatype
   419     bnf_def ~> bnf
   420   - Renamed many generated theorems, including
   421     discs ~> disc
   422     map_comp' ~> map_comp
   423     map_id' ~> map_id
   424     sels ~> sel
   425     set_map' ~> set_map
   426     sets ~> set
   427 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
   428 
   429 
   430 *** ML ***
   431 
   432 * Spec_Check is a Quickcheck tool for Isabelle/ML.  The ML function
   433 "check_property" allows to check specifications of the form "ALL x y
   434 z. prop x y z".  See also ~~/src/Tools/Spec_Check/ with its
   435 Examples.thy in particular.
   436 
   437 * Improved printing of exception trace in Poly/ML 5.5.1, with regular
   438 tracing output in the command transaction context instead of physical
   439 stdout.  See also Toplevel.debug, Toplevel.debugging and
   440 ML_Compiler.exn_trace.
   441 
   442 * ML type "theory" is now immutable, without any special treatment of
   443 drafts or linear updates (which could lead to "stale theory" errors in
   444 the past).  Discontinued obsolete operations like Theory.copy,
   445 Theory.checkpoint, and the auxiliary type theory_ref.  Minor
   446 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   447 
   448 * More uniform naming of goal functions for skipped proofs:
   449 
   450     Skip_Proof.prove  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry
   451     Skip_Proof.prove_global  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry_global
   452 
   453 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   454 
   455 * Simplifier tactics and tools use proper Proof.context instead of
   456 historic type simpset.  Old-style declarations like addsimps,
   457 addsimprocs etc. operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type simpset
   458 retains its use as snapshot of the main Simplifier context, using
   459 simpset_of and put_simpset on Proof.context.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- port
   460 old tools by making them depend on (ctxt : Proof.context) instead of
   461 (ss : simpset), then turn (simpset_of ctxt) into ctxt.
   462 
   463 * Modifiers for classical wrappers (e.g. addWrapper, delWrapper)
   464 operate on Proof.context instead of claset, for uniformity with addIs,
   465 addEs, addDs etc. Note that claset_of and put_claset allow to manage
   466 clasets separately from the context.
   467 
   468 * Discontinued obsolete ML antiquotations @{claset} and @{simpset}.
   469 INCOMPATIBILITY, use @{context} instead.
   470 
   471 * Antiquotation @{theory_context A} is similar to @{theory A}, but
   472 presents the result as initial Proof.context.
   473 
   474 
   475 *** System ***
   476 
   477 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle usedir, mkdir, make -- superseded by
   478 "isabelle build" in Isabelle2013.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   479 
   480 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle-process options -f and -u (former
   481 administrative aliases of option -e).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   482 
   483 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle print tool, and PRINT_COMMAND
   484 settings variable.
   485 
   486 * Discontinued ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT settings variable and historic
   487 document formats: dvi.gz, ps, ps.gz -- the default document format is
   488 always pdf.
   489 
   490 * Isabelle settings variable ISABELLE_BUILD_JAVA_OPTIONS allows to
   491 specify global resources of the JVM process run by isabelle build.
   492 
   493 * Toplevel executable $ISABELLE_HOME/bin/isabelle_scala_script allows
   494 to run Isabelle/Scala source files as standalone programs.
   495 
   496 * Improved "isabelle keywords" tool (for old-style ProofGeneral
   497 keyword tables): use Isabelle/Scala operations, which inspect outer
   498 syntax without requiring to build sessions first.
   499 
   500 * Sessions may be organized via 'chapter' specifications in the ROOT
   501 file, which determines a two-level hierarchy of browser info.  The old
   502 tree-like organization via implicit sub-session relation (with its
   503 tendency towards erratic fluctuation of URLs) has been discontinued.
   504 The default chapter is called "Unsorted".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
   505 for HTML presentation of theories.
   506 
   507 
   508 
   509 New in Isabelle2013 (February 2013)
   510 -----------------------------------
   511 
   512 *** General ***
   513 
   514 * Theorem status about oracles and unfinished/failed future proofs is
   515 no longer printed by default, since it is incompatible with
   516 incremental / parallel checking of the persistent document model.  ML
   517 function Thm.peek_status may be used to inspect a snapshot of the
   518 ongoing evaluation process.  Note that in batch mode --- notably
   519 isabelle build --- the system ensures that future proofs of all
   520 accessible theorems in the theory context are finished (as before).
   521 
   522 * Configuration option show_markup controls direct inlining of markup
   523 into the printed representation of formal entities --- notably type
   524 and sort constraints.  This enables Prover IDE users to retrieve that
   525 information via tooltips in the output window, for example.
   526 
   527 * Command 'ML_file' evaluates ML text from a file directly within the
   528 theory, without any predeclaration via 'uses' in the theory header.
   529 
   530 * Old command 'use' command and corresponding keyword 'uses' in the
   531 theory header are legacy features and will be discontinued soon.
   532 Tools that load their additional source files may imitate the
   533 'ML_file' implementation, such that the system can take care of
   534 dependencies properly.
   535 
   536 * Discontinued obsolete method fastsimp / tactic fast_simp_tac, which
   537 is called fastforce / fast_force_tac already since Isabelle2011-1.
   538 
   539 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual, reduced
   540 remaining material in old "ref" manual.
   541 
   542 * Improved support for auxiliary contexts that indicate block structure
   543 for specifications.  Nesting of "context fixes ... context assumes ..."
   544 and "class ... context ...".
   545 
   546 * Attribute "consumes" allows a negative value as well, which is
   547 interpreted relatively to the total number of premises of the rule in
   548 the target context.  This form of declaration is stable when exported
   549 from a nested 'context' with additional assumptions.  It is the
   550 preferred form for definitional packages, notably cases/rules produced
   551 in HOL/inductive and HOL/function.
   552 
   553 * More informative error messages for Isar proof commands involving
   554 lazy enumerations (method applications etc.).
   555 
   556 * Refined 'help' command to retrieve outer syntax commands according
   557 to name patterns (with clickable results).
   558 
   559 
   560 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
   561 
   562 * Parallel terminal proofs ('by') are enabled by default, likewise
   563 proofs that are built into packages like 'datatype', 'function'.  This
   564 allows to "run ahead" checking the theory specifications on the
   565 surface, while the prover is still crunching on internal
   566 justifications.  Unfinished / cancelled proofs are restarted as
   567 required to complete full proof checking eventually.
   568 
   569 * Improved output panel with tooltips, hyperlinks etc. based on the
   570 same Rich_Text_Area as regular Isabelle/jEdit buffers.  Activation of
   571 tooltips leads to some window that supports the same recursively,
   572 which can lead to stacks of tooltips as the semantic document content
   573 is explored.  ESCAPE closes the whole stack, individual windows may be
   574 closed separately, or detached to become independent jEdit dockables.
   575 
   576 * Improved support for commands that produce graph output: the text
   577 message contains a clickable area to open a new instance of the graph
   578 browser on demand.
   579 
   580 * More robust incremental parsing of outer syntax (partial comments,
   581 malformed symbols).  Changing the balance of open/close quotes and
   582 comment delimiters works more conveniently with unfinished situations
   583 that frequently occur in user interaction.
   584 
   585 * More efficient painting and improved reactivity when editing large
   586 files.  More scalable management of formal document content.
   587 
   588 * Smarter handling of tracing messages: prover process pauses after
   589 certain number of messages per command transaction, with some user
   590 dialog to stop or continue.  This avoids swamping the front-end with
   591 potentially infinite message streams.
   592 
   593 * More plugin options and preferences, based on Isabelle/Scala.  The
   594 jEdit plugin option panel provides access to some Isabelle/Scala
   595 options, including tuning parameters for editor reactivity and color
   596 schemes.
   597 
   598 * Dockable window "Symbols" provides some editing support for Isabelle
   599 symbols.
   600 
   601 * Dockable window "Monitor" shows ML runtime statistics.  Note that
   602 continuous display of the chart slows down the system.
   603 
   604 * Improved editing support for control styles: subscript, superscript,
   605 bold, reset of style -- operating on single symbols or text
   606 selections.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C+e DOWN/UP/RIGHT/LEFT.
   607 
   608 * Actions isabelle.increase-font-size and isabelle.decrease-font-size
   609 adjust the main text area font size, and its derivatives for output,
   610 tooltips etc.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C-PLUS and C-MINUS, which often
   611 need to be adapted to local keyboard layouts.
   612 
   613 * More reactive completion popup by default: use \t (TAB) instead of
   614 \n (NEWLINE) to minimize intrusion into regular flow of editing.  See
   615 also "Plugin Options / SideKick / General / Code Completion Options".
   616 
   617 * Implicit check and build dialog of the specified logic session
   618 image.  For example, HOL, HOLCF, HOL-Nominal can be produced on
   619 demand, without bundling big platform-dependent heap images in the
   620 Isabelle distribution.
   621 
   622 * Uniform Java 7 platform on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows: recent updates
   623 from Oracle provide better multi-platform experience.  This version is
   624 now bundled exclusively with Isabelle.
   625 
   626 
   627 *** Pure ***
   628 
   629 * Code generation for Haskell: restrict unqualified imports from
   630 Haskell Prelude to a small set of fundamental operations.
   631 
   632 * Command 'export_code': relative file names are interpreted
   633 relatively to master directory of current theory rather than the
   634 rather arbitrary current working directory.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   635 
   636 * Discontinued obsolete attribute "COMP".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
   637 use regular rule composition via "OF" / "THEN", or explicit proof
   638 structure instead.  Note that Isabelle/ML provides a variety of
   639 operators like COMP, INCR_COMP, COMP_INCR, which need to be applied
   640 with some care where this is really required.
   641 
   642 * Command 'typ' supports an additional variant with explicit sort
   643 constraint, to infer and check the most general type conforming to a
   644 given sort.  Example (in HOL):
   645 
   646   typ "_ * _ * bool * unit" :: finite
   647 
   648 * Command 'locale_deps' visualizes all locales and their relations as
   649 a Hasse diagram.
   650 
   651 
   652 *** HOL ***
   653 
   654 * Sledgehammer:
   655 
   656   - Added MaSh relevance filter based on machine-learning; see the
   657     Sledgehammer manual for details.
   658   - Polished Isar proofs generated with "isar_proofs" option.
   659   - Rationalized type encodings ("type_enc" option).
   660   - Renamed "kill_provers" subcommand to "kill_all".
   661   - Renamed options:
   662       isar_proof ~> isar_proofs
   663       isar_shrink_factor ~> isar_shrink
   664       max_relevant ~> max_facts
   665       relevance_thresholds ~> fact_thresholds
   666 
   667 * Quickcheck: added an optimisation for equality premises.  It is
   668 switched on by default, and can be switched off by setting the
   669 configuration quickcheck_optimise_equality to false.
   670 
   671 * Quotient: only one quotient can be defined by quotient_type
   672 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   673 
   674 * Lifting:
   675   - generation of an abstraction function equation in lift_definition
   676   - quot_del attribute
   677   - renamed no_abs_code -> no_code (INCOMPATIBILITY.)
   678 
   679 * Simproc "finite_Collect" rewrites set comprehensions into pointfree
   680 expressions.
   681 
   682 * Preprocessing of the code generator rewrites set comprehensions into
   683 pointfree expressions.
   684 
   685 * The SMT solver Z3 has now by default a restricted set of directly
   686 supported features. For the full set of features (div/mod, nonlinear
   687 arithmetic, datatypes/records) with potential proof reconstruction
   688 failures, enable the configuration option "z3_with_extensions".  Minor
   689 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   690 
   691 * Simplified 'typedef' specifications: historical options for implicit
   692 set definition and alternative name have been discontinued.  The
   693 former behavior of "typedef (open) t = A" is now the default, but
   694 written just "typedef t = A".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt theories
   695 accordingly.
   696 
   697 * Removed constant "chars"; prefer "Enum.enum" on type "char"
   698 directly.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   699 
   700 * Moved operation product, sublists and n_lists from theory Enum to
   701 List.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   702 
   703 * Theorem UN_o generalized to SUP_comp.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   704 
   705 * Class "comm_monoid_diff" formalises properties of bounded
   706 subtraction, with natural numbers and multisets as typical instances.
   707 
   708 * Added combinator "Option.these" with type "'a option set => 'a set".
   709 
   710 * Theory "Transitive_Closure": renamed lemmas
   711 
   712   reflcl_tranclp -> reflclp_tranclp
   713   rtranclp_reflcl -> rtranclp_reflclp
   714 
   715 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   716 
   717 * Theory "Rings": renamed lemmas (in class semiring)
   718 
   719   left_distrib ~> distrib_right
   720   right_distrib ~> distrib_left
   721 
   722 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   723 
   724 * Generalized the definition of limits:
   725 
   726   - Introduced the predicate filterlim (LIM x F. f x :> G) which
   727     expresses that when the input values x converge to F then the
   728     output f x converges to G.
   729 
   730   - Added filters for convergence to positive (at_top) and negative
   731     infinity (at_bot).
   732 
   733   - Moved infinity in the norm (at_infinity) from
   734     Multivariate_Analysis to Complex_Main.
   735 
   736   - Removed real_tendsto_inf, it is superseded by "LIM x F. f x :>
   737     at_top".
   738 
   739 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   740 
   741 * Theory "Library/Option_ord" provides instantiation of option type to
   742 lattice type classes.
   743 
   744 * Theory "Library/Multiset": renamed
   745 
   746     constant fold_mset ~> Multiset.fold
   747     fact fold_mset_commute ~> fold_mset_comm
   748 
   749 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   750 
   751 * Renamed theory Library/List_Prefix to Library/Sublist, with related
   752 changes as follows.
   753 
   754   - Renamed constants (and related lemmas)
   755 
   756       prefix ~> prefixeq
   757       strict_prefix ~> prefix
   758 
   759   - Replaced constant "postfix" by "suffixeq" with swapped argument
   760     order (i.e., "postfix xs ys" is now "suffixeq ys xs") and dropped
   761     old infix syntax "xs >>= ys"; use "suffixeq ys xs" instead.
   762     Renamed lemmas accordingly.
   763 
   764   - Added constant "list_hembeq" for homeomorphic embedding on
   765     lists. Added abbreviation "sublisteq" for special case
   766     "list_hembeq (op =)".
   767 
   768   - Theory Library/Sublist no longer provides "order" and "bot" type
   769     class instances for the prefix order (merely corresponding locale
   770     interpretations). The type class instances are now in theory
   771     Library/Prefix_Order.
   772 
   773   - The sublist relation of theory Library/Sublist_Order is now based
   774     on "Sublist.sublisteq".  Renamed lemmas accordingly:
   775 
   776       le_list_append_le_same_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append_le_same_iff
   777       le_list_append_mono ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_append_mono
   778       le_list_below_empty ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil, Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil2
   779       le_list_Cons_EX ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_ConsD
   780       le_list_drop_Cons2 ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2'
   781       le_list_drop_Cons_neq ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2_neq
   782       le_list_drop_Cons ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons'
   783       le_list_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_drop_many
   784       le_list_filter_left ~> Sublist.sublisteq_filter_left
   785       le_list_rev_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_rev_drop_many
   786       le_list_rev_take_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append
   787       le_list_same_length ~> Sublist.sublisteq_same_length
   788       le_list_take_many_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append'
   789       less_eq_list.drop ~> less_eq_list_drop
   790       less_eq_list.induct ~> less_eq_list_induct
   791       not_le_list_length ~> Sublist.not_sublisteq_length
   792 
   793 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   794 
   795 * New theory Library/Countable_Set.
   796 
   797 * Theory Library/Debug and Library/Parallel provide debugging and
   798 parallel execution for code generated towards Isabelle/ML.
   799 
   800 * Theory Library/FuncSet: Extended support for Pi and extensional and
   801 introduce the extensional dependent function space "PiE". Replaced
   802 extensional_funcset by an abbreviation, and renamed lemmas from
   803 extensional_funcset to PiE as follows:
   804 
   805   extensional_empty  ~>  PiE_empty
   806   extensional_funcset_empty_domain  ~>  PiE_empty_domain
   807   extensional_funcset_empty_range  ~>  PiE_empty_range
   808   extensional_funcset_arb  ~>  PiE_arb
   809   extensional_funcset_mem  ~>  PiE_mem
   810   extensional_funcset_extend_domainI  ~>  PiE_fun_upd
   811   extensional_funcset_restrict_domain  ~>  fun_upd_in_PiE
   812   extensional_funcset_extend_domain_eq  ~>  PiE_insert_eq
   813   card_extensional_funcset  ~>  card_PiE
   814   finite_extensional_funcset  ~>  finite_PiE
   815 
   816 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   817 
   818 * Theory Library/FinFun: theory of almost everywhere constant
   819 functions (supersedes the AFP entry "Code Generation for Functions as
   820 Data").
   821 
   822 * Theory Library/Phantom: generic phantom type to make a type
   823 parameter appear in a constant's type.  This alternative to adding
   824 TYPE('a) as another parameter avoids unnecessary closures in generated
   825 code.
   826 
   827 * Theory Library/RBT_Impl: efficient construction of red-black trees
   828 from sorted associative lists. Merging two trees with rbt_union may
   829 return a structurally different tree than before.  Potential
   830 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   831 
   832 * Theory Library/IArray: immutable arrays with code generation.
   833 
   834 * Theory Library/Finite_Lattice: theory of finite lattices.
   835 
   836 * HOL/Multivariate_Analysis: replaced
   837 
   838   "basis :: 'a::euclidean_space => nat => real"
   839   "\<Chi>\<Chi> :: (nat => real) => 'a::euclidean_space"
   840 
   841 on euclidean spaces by using the inner product "_ \<bullet> _" with
   842 vectors from the Basis set: "\<Chi>\<Chi> i. f i" is superseded by
   843 "SUM i : Basis. f i * r i".
   844 
   845   With this change the following constants are also changed or removed:
   846 
   847     DIM('a) :: nat  ~>  card (Basis :: 'a set)   (is an abbreviation)
   848     a $$ i  ~>  inner a i  (where i : Basis)
   849     cart_base i  removed
   850     \<pi>, \<pi>'  removed
   851 
   852   Theorems about these constants where removed.
   853 
   854   Renamed lemmas:
   855 
   856     component_le_norm  ~>  Basis_le_norm
   857     euclidean_eq  ~>  euclidean_eq_iff
   858     differential_zero_maxmin_component  ~>  differential_zero_maxmin_cart
   859     euclidean_simps  ~>  inner_simps

   863     norm_bound_component_le  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_le
   864     norm_bound_component_lt  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_lt
   865     component_le_infnorm  ~>  Basis_le_infnorm
   866 
   867 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   868 
   869 * HOL/Probability:
   870 
   871   - Added simproc "measurable" to automatically prove measurability.
   872 
   873   - Added induction rules for sigma sets with disjoint union
   874     (sigma_sets_induct_disjoint) and for Borel-measurable functions
   875     (borel_measurable_induct).
   876 
   877   - Added the Daniell-Kolmogorov theorem (the existence the limit of a
   878     projective family).
   879 
   880 * HOL/Cardinals: Theories of ordinals and cardinals (supersedes the
   881 AFP entry "Ordinals_and_Cardinals").
   882 
   883 * HOL/BNF: New (co)datatype package based on bounded natural functors
   884 with support for mixed, nested recursion and interesting non-free
   885 datatypes.
   886 
   887 * HOL/Finite_Set and Relation: added new set and relation operations
   888 expressed by Finite_Set.fold.
   889 
   890 * New theory HOL/Library/RBT_Set: implementation of sets by red-black
   891 trees for the code generator.
   892 
   893 * HOL/Library/RBT and HOL/Library/Mapping have been converted to
   894 Lifting/Transfer.
   895 possible INCOMPATIBILITY.
   896 
   897 * HOL/Set: renamed Set.project -> Set.filter
   898 INCOMPATIBILITY.

   903 * Dropped legacy antiquotations "term_style" and "thm_style", since
   904 styles may be given as arguments to "term" and "thm" already.
   905 Discontinued legacy styles "prem1" .. "prem19".
   906 
   907 * Default LaTeX rendering for \<euro> is now based on eurosym package,
   908 instead of slightly exotic babel/greek.
   909 
   910 * Document variant NAME may use different LaTeX entry point
   911 document/root_NAME.tex if that file exists, instead of the common
   912 document/root.tex.
   913 
   914 * Simplified custom document/build script, instead of old-style
   915 document/IsaMakefile.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   916 
   917 
   918 *** ML ***
   919 
   920 * The default limit for maximum number of worker threads is now 8,
   921 instead of 4, in correspondence to capabilities of contemporary
   922 hardware and Poly/ML runtime system.
   923 
   924 * Type Seq.results and related operations support embedded error
   925 messages within lazy enumerations, and thus allow to provide
   926 informative errors in the absence of any usable results.
   927 
   928 * Renamed Position.str_of to Position.here to emphasize that this is a
   929 formal device to inline positions into message text, but not
   930 necessarily printing visible text.
   931 
   932 
   933 *** System ***
   934 
   935 * Advanced support for Isabelle sessions and build management, see
   936 "system" manual for the chapter of that name, especially the "isabelle
   937 build" tool and its examples.  The "isabelle mkroot" tool prepares
   938 session root directories for use with "isabelle build", similar to
   939 former "isabelle mkdir" for "isabelle usedir".  Note that this affects
   940 document preparation as well.  INCOMPATIBILITY, isabelle usedir /
   941 mkdir / make are rendered obsolete.
   942 
   943 * Discontinued obsolete Isabelle/build script, it is superseded by the
   944 regular isabelle build tool.  For example:
   945 
   946   isabelle build -s -b HOL
   947 
   948 * Discontinued obsolete "isabelle makeall".
   949 
   950 * Discontinued obsolete IsaMakefile and ROOT.ML files from the
   951 Isabelle distribution, except for rudimentary src/HOL/IsaMakefile that
   952 provides some traditional targets that invoke "isabelle build".  Note
   953 that this is inefficient!  Applications of Isabelle/HOL involving
   954 "isabelle make" should be upgraded to use "isabelle build" directly.
   955 
   956 * The "isabelle options" tool prints Isabelle system options, as
   957 required for "isabelle build", for example.
   958 
   959 * The "isabelle logo" tool produces EPS and PDF format simultaneously.
   960 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY in command-line options.
   961 
   962 * The "isabelle install" tool has now a simpler command-line.  Minor
   963 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   964 
   965 * The "isabelle components" tool helps to resolve add-on components
   966 that are not bundled, or referenced from a bare-bones repository
   967 version of Isabelle.
   968 
   969 * Settings variable ISABELLE_PLATFORM_FAMILY refers to the general
   970 platform family: "linux", "macos", "windows".
   971 
   972 * The ML system is configured as regular component, and no longer
   973 picked up from some surrounding directory.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
   974 for home-made settings.
   975 
   976 * Improved ML runtime statistics (heap, threads, future tasks etc.).
   977 
   978 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2.1, which was the last version
   979 without exception positions and advanced ML compiler/toplevel
   980 configuration.
   981 
   982 * Discontinued special treatment of Proof General -- no longer guess
   983 PROOFGENERAL_HOME based on accidental file-system layout.  Minor
   984 INCOMPATIBILITY: provide PROOFGENERAL_HOME and PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS
   985 settings manually, or use a Proof General version that has been
   986 bundled as Isabelle component.
   987 
   988 
   989 
   990 New in Isabelle2012 (May 2012)
   991 ------------------------------
   992 
   993 *** General ***
   994 
   995 * Prover IDE (PIDE) improvements:
   996 
   997   - more robust Sledgehammer integration (as before the sledgehammer
   998     command-line needs to be typed into the source buffer)
   999   - markup for bound variables
  1000   - markup for types of term variables (displayed as tooltips)
  1001   - support for user-defined Isar commands within the running session
  1002   - improved support for Unicode outside original 16bit range
  1003     e.g. glyph for \<A> (thanks to jEdit 4.5.1)
  1004 
  1005 * Forward declaration of outer syntax keywords within the theory
  1006 header -- minor INCOMPATIBILITY for user-defined commands.  Allow new
  1007 commands to be used in the same theory where defined.
  1008 
  1009 * Auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for specifications with
  1010 additional parameters and assumptions.  Such unnamed contexts may be
  1011 nested within other targets, like 'theory', 'locale', 'class',
  1012 'instantiation' etc.  Results from the local context are generalized
  1013 accordingly and applied to the enclosing target context.  Example:
  1014 
  1015   context
  1016     fixes x y z :: 'a
  1017     assumes xy: "x = y" and yz: "y = z"
  1018   begin
  1019 
  1020   lemma my_trans: "x = z" using xy yz by simp
  1021 
  1022   end
  1023 
  1024   thm my_trans
  1025 
  1026 The most basic application is to factor-out context elements of
  1027 several fixes/assumes/shows theorem statements, e.g. see
  1028 ~~/src/HOL/Isar_Examples/Group_Context.thy
  1029 
  1030 Any other local theory specification element works within the "context
  1031 ... begin ... end" block as well.
  1032 
  1033 * Bundled declarations associate attributed fact expressions with a
  1034 given name in the context.  These may be later included in other
  1035 contexts.  This allows to manage context extensions casually, without
  1036 the logical dependencies of locales and locale interpretation.  See
  1037 commands 'bundle', 'include', 'including' etc. in the isar-ref manual.
  1038 
  1039 * Commands 'lemmas' and 'theorems' allow local variables using 'for'
  1040 declaration, and results are standardized before being stored.  Thus
  1041 old-style "standard" after instantiation or composition of facts
  1042 becomes obsolete.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, due to potential change of
  1043 indices of schematic variables.
  1044 
  1045 * Rule attributes in local theory declarations (e.g. locale or class)
  1046 are now statically evaluated: the resulting theorem is stored instead
  1047 of the original expression.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  1048 the historic accident of dynamic re-evaluation in interpretations
  1049 etc. was exploited.
  1050 
  1051 * New tutorial "Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL"
  1052 ("prog-prove").  It completely supersedes "A Tutorial Introduction to
  1053 Structured Isar Proofs" ("isar-overview"), which has been removed.  It
  1054 also supersedes "Isabelle/HOL, A Proof Assistant for Higher-Order
  1055 Logic" as the recommended beginners tutorial, but does not cover all
  1056 of the material of that old tutorial.
  1057 
  1058 * Updated and extended reference manuals: "isar-ref",
  1059 "implementation", "system"; reduced remaining material in old "ref"
  1060 manual.
  1061 
  1062 
  1063 *** Pure ***
  1064 
  1065 * Command 'definition' no longer exports the foundational "raw_def"
  1066 into the user context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, may use the regular
  1067 "def" result with attribute "abs_def" to imitate the old version.
  1068 
  1069 * Attribute "abs_def" turns an equation of the form "f x y == t" into
  1070 "f == %x y. t", which ensures that "simp" or "unfold" steps always
  1071 expand it.  This also works for object-logic equality.  (Formerly
  1072 undocumented feature.)
  1073 
  1074 * Sort constraints are now propagated in simultaneous statements, just
  1075 like type constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  1076 distinct sorts used to be assigned accidentally.  For example:
  1077 
  1078   lemma "P (x::'a::foo)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"  -- "now illegal"
  1079 
  1080   lemma "P (x::'a)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"
  1081     -- "now uniform 'a::bar instead of default sort for first occurrence (!)"
  1082 
  1083 * Rule composition via attribute "OF" (or ML functions OF/MRS) is more
  1084 tolerant against multiple unifiers, as long as the final result is
  1085 unique.  (As before, rules are composed in canonical right-to-left
  1086 order to accommodate newly introduced premises.)
  1087 
  1088 * Renamed some inner syntax categories:
  1089 
  1090     num ~> num_token
  1091     xnum ~> xnum_token
  1092     xstr ~> str_token
  1093 
  1094 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that in practice "num_const" or
  1095 "num_position" etc. are mainly used instead (which also include
  1096 position information via constraints).
  1097 
  1098 * Simplified configuration options for syntax ambiguity: see
  1099 "syntax_ambiguity_warning" and "syntax_ambiguity_limit" in isar-ref
  1100 manual.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1101 
  1102 * Discontinued configuration option "syntax_positions": atomic terms
  1103 in parse trees are always annotated by position constraints.
  1104 
  1105 * Old code generator for SML and its commands 'code_module',
  1106 'code_library', 'consts_code', 'types_code' have been discontinued.
  1107 Use commands of the generic code generator instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1108 
  1109 * Redundant attribute "code_inline" has been discontinued. Use
  1110 "code_unfold" instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1111 
  1112 * Dropped attribute "code_unfold_post" in favor of the its dual
  1113 "code_abbrev", which yields a common pattern in definitions like
  1114 
  1115   definition [code_abbrev]: "f = t"
  1116 
  1117 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1118 
  1119 * Obsolete 'types' command has been discontinued.  Use 'type_synonym'
  1120 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1121 
  1122 * Discontinued old "prems" fact, which used to refer to the accidental
  1123 collection of foundational premises in the context (already marked as
  1124 legacy since Isabelle2011).
  1125 
  1126 
  1127 *** HOL ***
  1128 
  1129 * Type 'a set is now a proper type constructor (just as before
  1130 Isabelle2008).  Definitions mem_def and Collect_def have disappeared.
  1131 Non-trivial INCOMPATIBILITY.  For developments keeping predicates and
  1132 sets separate, it is often sufficient to rephrase some set S that has
  1133 been accidentally used as predicates by "%x. x : S", and some
  1134 predicate P that has been accidentally used as set by "{x. P x}".
  1135 Corresponding proofs in a first step should be pruned from any
  1136 tinkering with former theorems mem_def and Collect_def as far as
  1137 possible.
  1138 
  1139 For developments which deliberately mix predicates and sets, a
  1140 planning step is necessary to determine what should become a predicate
  1141 and what a set.  It can be helpful to carry out that step in
  1142 Isabelle2011-1 before jumping right into the current release.
  1143 
  1144 * Code generation by default implements sets as container type rather
  1145 than predicates.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1146 
  1147 * New type synonym 'a rel = ('a * 'a) set
  1148 
  1149 * The representation of numerals has changed.  Datatype "num"
  1150 represents strictly positive binary numerals, along with functions
  1151 "numeral :: num => 'a" and "neg_numeral :: num => 'a" to represent
  1152 positive and negated numeric literals, respectively.  See also
  1153 definitions in ~~/src/HOL/Num.thy.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, some
  1154 user theories may require adaptations as follows:
  1155 
  1156   - Theorems with number_ring or number_semiring constraints: These
  1157     classes are gone; use comm_ring_1 or comm_semiring_1 instead.
  1158 
  1159   - Theories defining numeric types: Remove number, number_semiring,
  1160     and number_ring instances. Defer all theorems about numerals until
  1161     after classes one and semigroup_add have been instantiated.
  1162 
  1163   - Numeral-only simp rules: Replace each rule having a "number_of v"
  1164     pattern with two copies, one for numeral and one for neg_numeral.
  1165 
  1166   - Theorems about subclasses of semiring_1 or ring_1: These classes
  1167     automatically support numerals now, so more simp rules and
  1168     simprocs may now apply within the proof.
  1169 
  1170   - Definitions and theorems using old constructors Pls/Min/Bit0/Bit1:
  1171     Redefine using other integer operations.
  1172 
  1173 * Transfer: New package intended to generalize the existing
  1174 "descending" method and related theorem attributes from the Quotient
  1175 package.  (Not all functionality is implemented yet, but future
  1176 development will focus on Transfer as an eventual replacement for the
  1177 corresponding parts of the Quotient package.)
  1178 
  1179   - transfer_rule attribute: Maintains a collection of transfer rules,
  1180     which relate constants at two different types. Transfer rules may
  1181     relate different type instances of the same polymorphic constant,
  1182     or they may relate an operation on a raw type to a corresponding
  1183     operation on an abstract type (quotient or subtype). For example:
  1184 
  1185     ((A ===> B) ===> list_all2 A ===> list_all2 B) map map
  1186     (cr_int ===> cr_int ===> cr_int) (%(x,y) (u,v). (x+u, y+v)) plus_int
  1187 
  1188   - transfer method: Replaces a subgoal on abstract types with an
  1189     equivalent subgoal on the corresponding raw types. Constants are
  1190     replaced with corresponding ones according to the transfer rules.
  1191     Goals are generalized over all free variables by default; this is
  1192     necessary for variables whose types change, but can be overridden
  1193     for specific variables with e.g. "transfer fixing: x y z".  The
  1194     variant transfer' method allows replacing a subgoal with one that
  1195     is logically stronger (rather than equivalent).
  1196 
  1197   - relator_eq attribute: Collects identity laws for relators of
  1198     various type constructors, e.g. "list_all2 (op =) = (op =)".  The
  1199     transfer method uses these lemmas to infer transfer rules for
  1200     non-polymorphic constants on the fly.
  1201 
  1202   - transfer_prover method: Assists with proving a transfer rule for a
  1203     new constant, provided the constant is defined in terms of other
  1204     constants that already have transfer rules. It should be applied
  1205     after unfolding the constant definitions.
  1206 
  1207   - HOL/ex/Transfer_Int_Nat.thy: Example theory demonstrating transfer
  1208     from type nat to type int.
  1209 
  1210 * Lifting: New package intended to generalize the quotient_definition
  1211 facility of the Quotient package; designed to work with Transfer.
  1212 
  1213   - lift_definition command: Defines operations on an abstract type in
  1214     terms of a corresponding operation on a representation
  1215     type.  Example syntax:
  1216 
  1217     lift_definition dlist_insert :: "'a => 'a dlist => 'a dlist"
  1218       is List.insert
  1219 
  1220     Users must discharge a respectfulness proof obligation when each
  1221     constant is defined. (For a type copy, i.e. a typedef with UNIV,
  1222     the proof is discharged automatically.) The obligation is
  1223     presented in a user-friendly, readable form; a respectfulness
  1224     theorem in the standard format and a transfer rule are generated
  1225     by the package.
  1226 
  1227   - Integration with code_abstype: For typedefs (e.g. subtypes
  1228     corresponding to a datatype invariant, such as dlist),
  1229     lift_definition generates a code certificate theorem and sets up
  1230     code generation for each constant.
  1231 
  1232   - setup_lifting command: Sets up the Lifting package to work with a
  1233     user-defined type. The user must provide either a quotient theorem
  1234     or a type_definition theorem.  The package configures transfer
  1235     rules for equality and quantifiers on the type, and sets up the
  1236     lift_definition command to work with the type.
  1237 
  1238   - Usage examples: See Quotient_Examples/Lift_DList.thy,
  1239     Quotient_Examples/Lift_RBT.thy, Quotient_Examples/Lift_FSet.thy,
  1240     Word/Word.thy and Library/Float.thy.
  1241 
  1242 * Quotient package:
  1243 
  1244   - The 'quotient_type' command now supports a 'morphisms' option with
  1245     rep and abs functions, similar to typedef.
  1246 
  1247   - 'quotient_type' sets up new types to work with the Lifting and
  1248     Transfer packages, as with 'setup_lifting'.
  1249 
  1250   - The 'quotient_definition' command now requires the user to prove a
  1251     respectfulness property at the point where the constant is
  1252     defined, similar to lift_definition; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1253 
  1254   - Renamed predicate 'Quotient' to 'Quotient3', and renamed theorems
  1255     accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1256 
  1257 * New diagnostic command 'find_unused_assms' to find potentially
  1258 superfluous assumptions in theorems using Quickcheck.
  1259 
  1260 * Quickcheck:
  1261 
  1262   - Quickcheck returns variable assignments as counterexamples, which
  1263     allows to reveal the underspecification of functions under test.
  1264     For example, refuting "hd xs = x", it presents the variable
  1265     assignment xs = [] and x = a1 as a counterexample, assuming that
  1266     any property is false whenever "hd []" occurs in it.
  1267 
  1268     These counterexample are marked as potentially spurious, as
  1269     Quickcheck also returns "xs = []" as a counterexample to the
  1270     obvious theorem "hd xs = hd xs".
  1271 
  1272     After finding a potentially spurious counterexample, Quickcheck
  1273     continues searching for genuine ones.
  1274 
  1275     By default, Quickcheck shows potentially spurious and genuine
  1276     counterexamples. The option "genuine_only" sets quickcheck to only
  1277     show genuine counterexamples.
  1278 
  1279   - The command 'quickcheck_generator' creates random and exhaustive
  1280     value generators for a given type and operations.
  1281 
  1282     It generates values by using the operations as if they were
  1283     constructors of that type.
  1284 
  1285   - Support for multisets.
  1286 
  1287   - Added "use_subtype" options.
  1288 
  1289   - Added "quickcheck_locale" configuration to specify how to process
  1290     conjectures in a locale context.
  1291 
  1292 * Nitpick: Fixed infinite loop caused by the 'peephole_optim' option
  1293 and affecting 'rat' and 'real'.
  1294 
  1295 * Sledgehammer:
  1296   - Integrated more tightly with SPASS, as described in the ITP 2012
  1297     paper "More SPASS with Isabelle".
  1298   - Made it try "smt" as a fallback if "metis" fails or times out.
  1299   - Added support for the following provers: Alt-Ergo (via Why3 and
  1300     TFF1), iProver, iProver-Eq.
  1301   - Sped up the minimizer.
  1302   - Added "lam_trans", "uncurry_aliases", and "minimize" options.
  1303   - Renamed "slicing" ("no_slicing") option to "slice" ("dont_slice").
  1304   - Renamed "sound" option to "strict".
  1305 
  1306 * Metis: Added possibility to specify lambda translations scheme as a
  1307 parenthesized argument (e.g., "by (metis (lifting) ...)").
  1308 
  1309 * SMT: Renamed "smt_fixed" option to "smt_read_only_certificates".
  1310 
  1311 * Command 'try0': Renamed from 'try_methods'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1312 
  1313 * New "case_product" attribute to generate a case rule doing multiple
  1314 case distinctions at the same time.  E.g.
  1315 
  1316   list.exhaust [case_product nat.exhaust]
  1317 
  1318 produces a rule which can be used to perform case distinction on both
  1319 a list and a nat.
  1320 
  1321 * New "eventually_elim" method as a generalized variant of the
  1322 eventually_elim* rules.  Supports structured proofs.
  1323 
  1324 * Typedef with implicit set definition is considered legacy.  Use
  1325 "typedef (open)" form instead, which will eventually become the
  1326 default.
  1327 
  1328 * Record: code generation can be switched off manually with
  1329 
  1330   declare [[record_coden = false]]  -- "default true"
  1331 
  1332 * Datatype: type parameters allow explicit sort constraints.
  1333 
  1334 * Concrete syntax for case expressions includes constraints for source
  1335 positions, and thus produces Prover IDE markup for its bindings.
  1336 INCOMPATIBILITY for old-style syntax translations that augment the
  1337 pattern notation; e.g. see src/HOL/HOLCF/One.thy for translations of
  1338 one_case.
  1339 
  1340 * Clarified attribute "mono_set": pure declaration without modifying
  1341 the result of the fact expression.
  1342 
  1343 * More default pred/set conversions on a couple of relation operations
  1344 and predicates.  Added powers of predicate relations.  Consolidation
  1345 of some relation theorems:
  1346 
  1347   converse_def ~> converse_unfold
  1348   rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
  1349   symp_def ~> (modified, use symp_def and sym_def instead)
  1350   transp_def ~> transp_trans
  1351   Domain_def ~> Domain_unfold

  1739 * New theory HOL/Library/DAList provides an abstract type for
  1740 association lists with distinct keys.
  1741 
  1742 * Session HOL/IMP: Added new theory of abstract interpretation of
  1743 annotated commands.
  1744 
  1745 * Session HOL-Import: Re-implementation from scratch is faster,
  1746 simpler, and more scalable.  Requires a proof bundle, which is
  1747 available as an external component.  Discontinued old (and mostly
  1748 dead) Importer for HOL4 and HOL Light.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1749 
  1750 * Session HOL-Word: Discontinued many redundant theorems specific to
  1751 type 'a word. INCOMPATIBILITY, use the corresponding generic theorems
  1752 instead.

  1796 * Session HOL-Word: New proof method "word_bitwise" for splitting
  1797 machine word equalities and inequalities into logical circuits,
  1798 defined in HOL/Word/WordBitwise.thy.  Supports addition, subtraction,
  1799 multiplication, shifting by constants, bitwise operators and numeric
  1800 constants.  Requires fixed-length word types, not 'a word.  Solves
  1801 many standard word identities outright and converts more into first
  1802 order problems amenable to blast or similar.  See also examples in
  1803 HOL/Word/Examples/WordExamples.thy.
  1804 
  1805 * Session HOL-Probability: Introduced the type "'a measure" to
  1806 represent measures, this replaces the records 'a algebra and 'a
  1807 measure_space.  The locales based on subset_class now have two
  1808 locale-parameters the space \<Omega> and the set of measurable sets M.
  1809 The product of probability spaces uses now the same constant as the
  1810 finite product of sigma-finite measure spaces "PiM :: ('i => 'a)
  1811 measure".  Most constants are defined now outside of locales and gain
  1812 an additional parameter, like null_sets, almost_eventually or \<mu>'.
  1813 Measure space constructions for distributions and densities now got
  1814 their own constants distr and density.  Instead of using locales to
  1815 describe measure spaces with a finite space, the measure count_space
  1816 and point_measure is introduced.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  1842   image_space
  1843   joint_distribution -> use distr measure, or distributed predicate

  1978 * Session HOL-TPTP: support to parse and import TPTP problems (all
  1979 languages) into Isabelle/HOL.
  1980 
  1981 
  1982 *** FOL ***
  1983 
  1984 * New "case_product" attribute (see HOL).
  1985 
  1986 
  1987 *** ZF ***
  1988 
  1989 * Greater support for structured proofs involving induction or case
  1990 analysis.
  1991 
  1992 * Much greater use of mathematical symbols.
  1993 
  1994 * Removal of many ML theorem bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1995 
  1996 
  1997 *** ML ***
  1998 
  1999 * Antiquotation @{keyword "name"} produces a parser for outer syntax
  2000 from a minor keyword introduced via theory header declaration.
  2001 
  2002 * Antiquotation @{command_spec "name"} produces the
  2003 Outer_Syntax.command_spec from a major keyword introduced via theory
  2004 header declaration; it can be passed to Outer_Syntax.command etc.
  2005 
  2006 * Local_Theory.define no longer hard-wires default theorem name
  2007 "foo_def", but retains the binding as given.  If that is Binding.empty
  2008 / Attrib.empty_binding, the result is not registered as user-level
  2009 fact.  The Local_Theory.define_internal variant allows to specify a
  2010 non-empty name (used for the foundation in the background theory),
  2011 while omitting the fact binding in the user-context.  Potential
  2012 INCOMPATIBILITY for derived definitional packages: need to specify
  2013 naming policy for primitive definitions more explicitly.
  2014 
  2015 * Renamed Thm.capply to Thm.apply, and Thm.cabs to Thm.lambda in
  2016 conformance with similar operations in structure Term and Logic.
  2017 
  2018 * Antiquotation @{attributes [...]} embeds attribute source
  2019 representation into the ML text, which is particularly useful with
  2020 declarations like Local_Theory.note.
  2021 
  2022 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  2023 ProofContext has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2024 
  2025 * Refined Local_Theory.declaration {syntax, pervasive}, with subtle
  2026 change of semantics: update is applied to auxiliary local theory
  2027 context as well.
  2028 
  2029 * Modernized some old-style infix operations:
  2030 
  2031   addeqcongs    ~> Simplifier.add_eqcong
  2032   deleqcongs    ~> Simplifier.del_eqcong

  2043 
  2044 
  2045 *** System ***
  2046 
  2047 * USER_HOME settings variable points to cross-platform user home
  2048 directory, which coincides with HOME on POSIX systems only.  Likewise,
  2049 the Isabelle path specification "~" now expands to $USER_HOME, instead
  2050 of former $HOME.  A different default for USER_HOME may be set
  2051 explicitly in shell environment, before Isabelle settings are
  2052 evaluated.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: need to adapt Isabelle path where
  2053 the generic user home was intended.
  2054 
  2055 * ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS refers to ISABELLE_HOME in windows file name
  2056 notation, which is useful for the jEdit file browser, for example.
  2057 
  2058 * ISABELLE_JDK_HOME settings variable points to JDK with javac and jar
  2059 (not just JRE).

  2064 ------------------------------------
  2065 
  2066 *** General ***
  2067 
  2068 * Improved Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE (PIDE), which can be invoked as
  2069 "isabelle jedit" or "ISABELLE_HOME/Isabelle" on the command line.
  2070 
  2071   - Management of multiple theory files directly from the editor
  2072     buffer store -- bypassing the file-system (no requirement to save
  2073     files for checking).
  2074 
  2075   - Markup of formal entities within the text buffer, with semantic
  2076     highlighting, tooltips and hyperlinks to jump to defining source
  2077     positions.
  2078 
  2079   - Improved text rendering, with sub/superscripts in the source
  2080     buffer (including support for copy/paste wrt. output panel, HTML
  2081     theory output and other non-Isabelle text boxes).
  2082 
  2083   - Refined scheduling of proof checking and printing of results,
  2084     based on interactive editor view.  (Note: jEdit folding and
  2085     narrowing allows to restrict buffer perspectives explicitly.)
  2086 
  2087   - Reduced CPU performance requirements, usable on machines with few
  2088     cores.
  2089 
  2090   - Reduced memory requirements due to pruning of unused document
  2091     versions (garbage collection).

  2094 including some remaining limitations.
  2095 
  2096 * Theory loader: source files are exclusively located via the master
  2097 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  2098 The global load path (such as src/HOL/Library) has been discontinued.
  2099 Note that the path element ~~ may be used to reference theories in the
  2100 Isabelle home folder -- for instance, "~~/src/HOL/Library/FuncSet".
  2101 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2102 
  2103 * Theory loader: source files are identified by content via SHA1
  2104 digests.  Discontinued former path/modtime identification and optional
  2105 ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT plugin scripts.
  2106 
  2107 * Parallelization of nested Isar proofs is subject to
  2108 Goal.parallel_proofs_threshold (default 100).  See also isabelle
  2109 usedir option -Q.
  2110 
  2111 * Name space: former unsynchronized references are now proper
  2112 configuration options, with more conventional names:
  2113 
  2114   long_names   ~> names_long
  2115   short_names  ~> names_short
  2116   unique_names ~> names_unique
  2117 
  2118 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, need to declare options in context like this:
  2119 
  2120   declare [[names_unique = false]]
  2121 
  2122 * Literal facts `prop` may contain dummy patterns, e.g. `_ = _`.  Note
  2123 that the result needs to be unique, which means fact specifications
  2124 may have to be refined after enriching a proof context.
  2125 
  2126 * Attribute "case_names" has been refined: the assumptions in each case
  2127 can be named now by following the case name with [name1 name2 ...].
  2128 
  2129 * Isabelle/Isar reference manual has been updated and extended:
  2130   - "Synopsis" provides a catalog of main Isar language concepts.
  2131   - Formal references in syntax diagrams, via @{rail} antiquotation.
  2132   - Updated material from classic "ref" manual, notably about
  2133     "Classical Reasoner".
  2134 
  2135 
  2136 *** HOL ***
  2137 
  2138 * Class bot and top require underlying partial order rather than
  2139 preorder: uniqueness of bot and top is guaranteed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2140 
  2141 * Class complete_lattice: generalized a couple of lemmas from sets;
  2142 generalized theorems INF_cong and SUP_cong.  New type classes for
  2143 complete boolean algebras and complete linear orders.  Lemmas
  2144 Inf_less_iff, less_Sup_iff, INF_less_iff, less_SUP_iff now reside in
  2145 class complete_linorder.
  2146 
  2147 Changed proposition of lemmas Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, Inf_fun_def,
  2148 Sup_fun_def, Inf_apply, Sup_apply.
  2149 
  2150 Removed redundant lemmas (the right hand side gives hints how to
  2151 replace them for (metis ...), or (simp only: ...) proofs):
  2152 
  2153   Inf_singleton ~> Inf_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Inf_empty inf_top_right]
  2154   Sup_singleton ~> Sup_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Sup_empty sup_bot_right]
  2155   Inf_binary ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  2156   Sup_binary ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  2157   Int_eq_Inter ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  2158   Un_eq_Union ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  2159   Inter_def ~> INF_def, image_def
  2160   Union_def ~> SUP_def, image_def
  2161   INT_eq ~> INF_def, and image_def
  2162   UN_eq ~> SUP_def, and image_def
  2163   INF_subset ~> INF_superset_mono [OF _ order_refl]
  2164 
  2165 More consistent and comprehensive names:
  2166 
  2167   INTER_eq_Inter_image ~> INF_def
  2168   UNION_eq_Union_image ~> SUP_def
  2169   INFI_def ~> INF_def
  2170   SUPR_def ~> SUP_def
  2171   INF_leI ~> INF_lower
  2172   INF_leI2 ~> INF_lower2
  2173   le_INFI ~> INF_greatest
  2174   le_SUPI ~> SUP_upper
  2175   le_SUPI2 ~> SUP_upper2
  2176   SUP_leI ~> SUP_least
  2177   INFI_bool_eq ~> INF_bool_eq
  2178   SUPR_bool_eq ~> SUP_bool_eq
  2179   INFI_apply ~> INF_apply
  2180   SUPR_apply ~> SUP_apply
  2181   INTER_def ~> INTER_eq
  2182   UNION_def ~> UNION_eq
  2183 
  2184 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2185 
  2186 * Renamed theory Complete_Lattice to Complete_Lattices.
  2187 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2188 
  2189 * Theory Complete_Lattices: lemmas Inf_eq_top_iff, INF_eq_top_iff,
  2190 INF_image, Inf_insert, INF_top, Inf_top_conv, INF_top_conv, SUP_bot,
  2191 Sup_bot_conv, SUP_bot_conv, Sup_eq_top_iff, SUP_eq_top_iff, SUP_image,
  2192 Sup_insert are now declared as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2193 
  2194 * Theory Lattice: lemmas compl_inf_bot, compl_le_comp_iff,
  2195 compl_sup_top, inf_idem, inf_left_idem, inf_sup_absorb, sup_idem,
  2196 sup_inf_absob, sup_left_idem are now declared as [simp].  Minor
  2197 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2198 
  2199 * Added syntactic classes "inf" and "sup" for the respective
  2200 constants.  INCOMPATIBILITY: Changes in the argument order of the
  2201 (mostly internal) locale predicates for some derived classes.
  2202 
  2203 * Theorem collections ball_simps and bex_simps do not contain theorems
  2204 referring to UNION any longer; these have been moved to collection
  2205 UN_ball_bex_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2206 
  2207 * Theory Archimedean_Field: floor now is defined as parameter of a
  2208 separate type class floor_ceiling.
  2209 
  2210 * Theory Finite_Set: more coherent development of fold_set locales:
  2211 
  2212     locale fun_left_comm ~> locale comp_fun_commute
  2213     locale fun_left_comm_idem ~> locale comp_fun_idem
  2214 
  2215 Both use point-free characterization; interpretation proofs may need
  2216 adjustment.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2217 
  2218 * Theory Limits: Type "'a net" has been renamed to "'a filter", in
  2219 accordance with standard mathematical terminology. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2220 
  2221 * Theory Complex_Main: The locale interpretations for the
  2222 bounded_linear and bounded_bilinear locales have been removed, in
  2223 order to reduce the number of duplicate lemmas. Users must use the
  2224 original names for distributivity theorems, potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2319 
  2320 * Theory Complex_Main: The definition of infinite series was
  2321 generalized.  Now it is defined on the type class {topological_space,
  2322 comm_monoid_add}.  Hence it is useable also for extended real numbers.
  2323 
  2324 * Theory Complex_Main: The complex exponential function "expi" is now
  2325 a type-constrained abbreviation for "exp :: complex => complex"; thus
  2326 several polymorphic lemmas about "exp" are now applicable to "expi".
  2327 
  2328 * Code generation:
  2329 
  2330   - Theory Library/Code_Char_ord provides native ordering of
  2331     characters in the target language.
  2332 
  2333   - Commands code_module and code_library are legacy, use export_code
  2334     instead.
  2335 
  2336   - Method "evaluation" is legacy, use method "eval" instead.
  2337 
  2338   - Legacy evaluator "SML" is deactivated by default.  May be
  2339     reactivated by the following theory command:
  2340 
  2341       setup {* Value.add_evaluator ("SML", Codegen.eval_term) *}
  2342 
  2343 * Declare ext [intro] by default.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2344 
  2345 * New proof method "induction" that gives induction hypotheses the
  2346 name "IH", thus distinguishing them from further hypotheses that come
  2347 from rule induction.  The latter are still called "hyps".  Method
  2348 "induction" is a thin wrapper around "induct" and follows the same
  2349 syntax.
  2350 
  2351 * Method "fastsimp" has been renamed to "fastforce", but "fastsimp" is
  2352 still available as a legacy feature for some time.
  2353 
  2354 * Nitpick:
  2355   - Added "need" and "total_consts" options.
  2356   - Reintroduced "show_skolems" option by popular demand.
  2357   - Renamed attribute: nitpick_def ~> nitpick_unfold.
  2358     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2359 
  2360 * Sledgehammer:
  2361   - Use quasi-sound (and efficient) translations by default.
  2362   - Added support for the following provers: E-ToFoF, LEO-II,
  2363     Satallax, SNARK, Waldmeister, and Z3 with TPTP syntax.
  2364   - Automatically preplay and minimize proofs before showing them if
  2365     this can be done within reasonable time.
  2366   - sledgehammer available_provers ~> sledgehammer supported_provers.
  2367     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2368   - Added "preplay_timeout", "slicing", "type_enc", "sound",
  2369     "max_mono_iters", and "max_new_mono_instances" options.
  2370   - Removed "explicit_apply" and "full_types" options as well as "Full
  2371     Types" Proof General menu item. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2372 
  2373 * Metis:
  2374   - Removed "metisF" -- use "metis" instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2375   - Obsoleted "metisFT" -- use "metis (full_types)" instead.
  2376     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2377 
  2378 * Command 'try':
  2379   - Renamed 'try_methods' and added "simp:", "intro:", "dest:", and
  2380     "elim:" options. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2381   - Introduced 'try' that not only runs 'try_methods' but also
  2382     'solve_direct', 'sledgehammer', 'quickcheck', and 'nitpick'.
  2383 
  2384 * Quickcheck:
  2385   - Added "eval" option to evaluate terms for the found counterexample
  2386     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  2387   - Added post-processing of terms to obtain readable counterexamples
  2388     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  2389   - New counterexample generator quickcheck[narrowing] enables
  2390     narrowing-based testing.  Requires the Glasgow Haskell compiler
  2391     with its installation location defined in the Isabelle settings
  2392     environment as ISABELLE_GHC.
  2393   - Removed quickcheck tester "SML" based on the SML code generator
  2394     (formly in HOL/Library).
  2395 
  2396 * Function package: discontinued option "tailrec".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  2397 use 'partial_function' instead.
  2398 
  2399 * Theory Library/Extended_Reals replaces now the positive extended
  2400 reals found in probability theory. This file is extended by
  2401 Multivariate_Analysis/Extended_Real_Limits.
  2402 
  2403 * Theory Library/Old_Recdef: old 'recdef' package has been moved here,
  2404 from where it must be imported explicitly if it is really required.
  2405 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2406 
  2407 * Theory Library/Wfrec: well-founded recursion combinator "wfrec" has
  2408 been moved here.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2409 
  2410 * Theory Library/Saturated provides type of numbers with saturated
  2411 arithmetic.
  2412 
  2413 * Theory Library/Product_Lattice defines a pointwise ordering for the
  2414 product type 'a * 'b, and provides instance proofs for various order
  2415 and lattice type classes.
  2416 
  2417 * Theory Library/Countable now provides the "countable_datatype" proof
  2418 method for proving "countable" class instances for datatypes.
  2419 
  2420 * Theory Library/Cset_Monad allows do notation for computable sets
  2421 (cset) via the generic monad ad-hoc overloading facility.
  2422 
  2423 * Library: Theories of common data structures are split into theories
  2424 for implementation, an invariant-ensuring type, and connection to an
  2425 abstract type. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2426 
  2427   - RBT is split into RBT and RBT_Mapping.
  2428   - AssocList is split and renamed into AList and AList_Mapping.
  2429   - DList is split into DList_Impl, DList, and DList_Cset.
  2430   - Cset is split into Cset and List_Cset.
  2431 
  2432 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity has been renamed to
  2433 Library/Extended_Nat, with name changes of the following types and
  2434 constants:
  2435 
  2436   type inat   ~> type enat
  2437   Fin         ~> enat
  2438   Infty       ~> infinity (overloaded)
  2439   iSuc        ~> eSuc
  2440   the_Fin     ~> the_enat
  2441 
  2442 Every theorem name containing "inat", "Fin", "Infty", or "iSuc" has
  2443 been renamed accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2444 
  2445 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: The euclidean_space type class now
  2446 fixes a constant "Basis :: 'a set" consisting of the standard
  2447 orthonormal basis for the type. Users now have the option of
  2448 quantifying over this set instead of using the "basis" function, e.g.
  2449 "ALL x:Basis. P x" vs "ALL i<DIM('a). P (basis i)".
  2450 
  2451 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Type "('a, 'b) cart" has been renamed
  2452 to "('a, 'b) vec" (the syntax "'a ^ 'b" remains unaffected). Constants
  2453 "Cart_nth" and "Cart_lambda" have been respectively renamed to
  2454 "vec_nth" and "vec_lambda"; theorems mentioning those names have
  2455 changed to match. Definition theorems for overloaded constants now use
  2456 the standard "foo_vec_def" naming scheme. A few other theorems have
  2457 been renamed as follows (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  2458 
  2459   Cart_eq          ~> vec_eq_iff
  2460   dist_nth_le_cart ~> dist_vec_nth_le
  2461   tendsto_vector   ~> vec_tendstoI
  2462   Cauchy_vector    ~> vec_CauchyI
  2463 
  2464 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Several duplicate theorems have been
  2465 removed, and other theorems have been renamed or replaced with more
  2466 general versions. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2520 * Session HOL-Probability:
  2521   - Caratheodory's extension lemma is now proved for ring_of_sets.
  2522   - Infinite products of probability measures are now available.
  2523   - Sigma closure is independent, if the generator is independent
  2524   - Use extended reals instead of positive extended
  2525     reals. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2556 *** Document preparation ***
  2557 
  2558 * Antiquotation @{rail} layouts railroad syntax diagrams, see also
  2559 isar-ref manual, both for description and actual application of the
  2560 same.
  2561 
  2562 * Antiquotation @{value} evaluates the given term and presents its
  2563 result.
  2564 
  2565 * Antiquotations: term style "isub" provides ad-hoc conversion of
  2566 variables x1, y23 into subscripted form x\<^isub>1,
  2567 y\<^isub>2\<^isub>3.
  2568 
  2569 * Predefined LaTeX macros for Isabelle symbols \<bind> and \<then>
  2570 (e.g. see ~~/src/HOL/Library/Monad_Syntax.thy).
  2571 
  2572 * Localized \isabellestyle switch can be used within blocks or groups
  2573 like this:
  2574 
  2575   \isabellestyle{it}  %preferred default
  2576   {\isabellestylett @{text "typewriter stuff"}}
  2577 
  2578 * Discontinued special treatment of hard tabulators.  Implicit
  2579 tab-width is now defined as 1.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for visual
  2580 layouts.
  2581 
  2582 
  2583 *** ML ***
  2584 
  2585 * The inner syntax of sort/type/term/prop supports inlined YXML
  2586 representations within quoted string tokens.  By encoding logical
  2587 entities via Term_XML (in ML or Scala) concrete syntax can be
  2588 bypassed, which is particularly useful for producing bits of text
  2589 under external program control.
  2590 
  2591 * Antiquotations for ML and document preparation are managed as theory
  2592 data, which requires explicit setup.
  2593 
  2594 * Isabelle_Process.is_active allows tools to check if the official
  2595 process wrapper is running (Isabelle/Scala/jEdit) or the old TTY loop
  2596 (better known as Proof General).
  2597 
  2598 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  2599 ProofContext is still available for some time as legacy alias.
  2600 
  2601 * Structure Timing provides various operations for timing; supersedes
  2602 former start_timing/end_timing etc.
  2603 
  2604 * Path.print is the official way to show file-system paths to users
  2605 (including quotes etc.).
  2606 
  2607 * Inner syntax: identifiers in parse trees of generic categories
  2608 "logic", "aprop", "idt" etc. carry position information (disguised as
  2609 type constraints).  Occasional INCOMPATIBILITY with non-compliant
  2610 translations that choke on unexpected type constraints.  Positions can
  2611 be stripped in ML translations via Syntax.strip_positions /
  2612 Syntax.strip_positions_ast, or via the syntax constant
  2613 "_strip_positions" within parse trees.  As last resort, positions can
  2614 be disabled via the configuration option Syntax.positions, which is
  2615 called "syntax_positions" in Isar attribute syntax.
  2616 
  2617 * Discontinued special status of various ML structures that contribute
  2618 to structure Syntax (Ast, Lexicon, Mixfix, Parser, Printer etc.): less
  2619 pervasive content, no inclusion in structure Syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  2620 refer directly to Ast.Constant, Lexicon.is_identifier,
  2621 Syntax_Trans.mk_binder_tr etc.
  2622 
  2623 * Typed print translation: discontinued show_sorts argument, which is
  2624 already available via context of "advanced" translation.
  2625 
  2626 * Refined PARALLEL_GOALS tactical: degrades gracefully for schematic
  2627 goal states; body tactic needs to address all subgoals uniformly.
  2628 
  2629 * Slightly more special eq_list/eq_set, with shortcut involving
  2630 pointer equality (assumes that eq relation is reflexive).
  2631 
  2632 * Classical tactics use proper Proof.context instead of historic types
  2633 claset/clasimpset.  Old-style declarations like addIs, addEs, addDs
  2634 operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type claset retains its use as
  2635 snapshot of the classical context, which can be recovered via
  2636 (put_claset HOL_cs) etc.  Type clasimpset has been discontinued.
  2637 INCOMPATIBILITY, classical tactics and derived proof methods require
  2638 proper Proof.context.
  2639 
  2640 
  2641 *** System ***
  2642 
  2643 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2, which was the last version
  2644 without proper multithreading and TimeLimit implementation.
  2645 
  2646 * Discontinued old lib/scripts/polyml-platform, which has been
  2647 obsolete since Isabelle2009-2.
  2648 
  2649 * Various optional external tools are referenced more robustly and
  2650 uniformly by explicit Isabelle settings as follows:
  2651 
  2652   ISABELLE_CSDP   (formerly CSDP_EXE)
  2653   ISABELLE_GHC    (formerly EXEC_GHC or GHC_PATH)
  2654   ISABELLE_OCAML  (formerly EXEC_OCAML)
  2655   ISABELLE_SWIPL  (formerly EXEC_SWIPL)
  2656   ISABELLE_YAP    (formerly EXEC_YAP)
  2657 
  2658 Note that automated detection from the file-system or search path has
  2659 been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2660 
  2661 * Scala layer provides JVM method invocation service for static
  2662 methods of type (String)String, see Invoke_Scala.method in ML.  For
  2663 example:
  2664 
  2665   Invoke_Scala.method "java.lang.System.getProperty" "java.home"
  2666 
  2667 Together with YXML.string_of_body/parse_body and XML.Encode/Decode
  2668 this allows to pass structured values between ML and Scala.
  2669 
  2670 * The IsabelleText fonts includes some further glyphs to support the
  2671 Prover IDE.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: users who happen to have
  2672 installed a local copy (which is normally *not* required) need to
  2673 delete or update it from ~~/lib/fonts/.
  2674 
  2675 
  2676 
  2677 New in Isabelle2011 (January 2011)
  2678 ----------------------------------
  2679 
  2680 *** General ***
  2681 
  2682 * Experimental Prover IDE based on Isabelle/Scala and jEdit (see
  2683 src/Tools/jEdit).  This also serves as IDE for Isabelle/ML, with
  2684 useful tooltips and hyperlinks produced from its static analysis.  The
  2685 bundled component provides an executable Isabelle tool that can be run
  2686 like this:
  2687 
  2688   Isabelle2011/bin/isabelle jedit
  2689 
  2690 * Significantly improved Isabelle/Isar implementation manual.
  2691 
  2692 * System settings: ISABELLE_HOME_USER now includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER
  2693 (and thus refers to something like $HOME/.isabelle/Isabelle2011),
  2694 while the default heap location within that directory lacks that extra
  2695 suffix.  This isolates multiple Isabelle installations from each
  2696 other, avoiding problems with old settings in new versions.
  2697 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to copy/upgrade old user settings manually.
  2698 
  2699 * Source files are always encoded as UTF-8, instead of old-fashioned
  2700 ISO-Latin-1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Isabelle LaTeX documents might require
  2701 the following package declarations:
  2702 
  2703   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
  2704   \usepackage{textcomp}
  2705 
  2706 * Explicit treatment of UTF-8 sequences as Isabelle symbols, such that
  2707 a Unicode character is treated as a single symbol, not a sequence of
  2708 non-ASCII bytes as before.  Since Isabelle/ML string literals may
  2709 contain symbols without further backslash escapes, Unicode can now be
  2710 used here as well.  Recall that Symbol.explode in ML provides a
  2711 consistent view on symbols, while raw explode (or String.explode)
  2712 merely give a byte-oriented representation.
  2713 
  2714 * Theory loader: source files are primarily located via the master
  2715 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  2716 The global load path is still partially available as legacy feature.
  2717 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY due to subtle change in file lookup: use
  2718 explicit paths, relatively to the theory.
  2719 
  2720 * Special treatment of ML file names has been discontinued.
  2721 Historically, optional extensions .ML or .sml were added on demand --
  2722 at the cost of clarity of file dependencies.  Recall that Isabelle/ML
  2723 files exclusively use the .ML extension.  Minor INCOMPATIBILTY.
  2724 
  2725 * Various options that affect pretty printing etc. are now properly
  2726 handled within the context via configuration options, instead of
  2727 unsynchronized references or print modes.  There are both ML Config.T
  2728 entities and Isar declaration attributes to access these.
  2729 
  2730   ML (Config.T)                 Isar (attribute)

  2753   Thy_Output.break              thy_output_break
  2754 
  2755 Note that corresponding "..._default" references in ML may only be
  2756 changed globally at the ROOT session setup, but *not* within a theory.
  2757 The option "show_abbrevs" supersedes the former print mode
  2758 "no_abbrevs" with inverted meaning.
  2759 
  2760 * More systematic naming of some configuration options.
  2761 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2762 
  2763   trace_simp  ~>  simp_trace
  2764   debug_simp  ~>  simp_debug
  2765 
  2766 * Support for real valued configuration options, using simplistic
  2767 floating-point notation that coincides with the inner syntax for
  2768 float_token.
  2769 
  2770 * Support for real valued preferences (with approximative PGIP type):
  2771 front-ends need to accept "pgint" values in float notation.
  2772 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2773 
  2774 * The IsabelleText font now includes Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic from
  2775 DejaVu Sans.
  2776 
  2777 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.0 and 5.1 versions.
  2778 
  2779 
  2780 *** Pure ***
  2781 
  2782 * Command 'type_synonym' (with single argument) replaces somewhat
  2783 outdated 'types', which is still available as legacy feature for some
  2784 time.
  2785 
  2786 * Command 'nonterminal' (with 'and' separated list of arguments)
  2787 replaces somewhat outdated 'nonterminals'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2788 
  2789 * Command 'notepad' replaces former 'example_proof' for
  2790 experimentation in Isar without any result.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2791 
  2792 * Locale interpretation commands 'interpret' and 'sublocale' accept
  2793 lists of equations to map definitions in a locale to appropriate
  2794 entities in the context of the interpretation.  The 'interpretation'
  2795 command already provided this functionality.
  2796 
  2797 * Diagnostic command 'print_dependencies' prints the locale instances
  2798 that would be activated if the specified expression was interpreted in
  2799 the current context.  Variant "print_dependencies!" assumes a context
  2800 without interpretations.
  2801 
  2802 * Diagnostic command 'print_interps' prints interpretations in proofs
  2803 in addition to interpretations in theories.
  2804 
  2805 * Discontinued obsolete 'global' and 'local' commands to manipulate
  2806 the theory name space.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.  The ML functions
  2807 Sign.root_path and Sign.local_path may be applied directly where this
  2808 feature is still required for historical reasons.
  2809 
  2810 * Discontinued obsolete 'constdefs' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  2811 'definition' instead.
  2812 
  2813 * The "prems" fact, which refers to the accidental collection of
  2814 foundational premises in the context, is now explicitly marked as
  2815 legacy feature and will be discontinued soon.  Consider using "assms"
  2816 of the head statement or reference facts by explicit names.
  2817 
  2818 * Document antiquotations @{class} and @{type} print classes and type
  2819 constructors.
  2820 
  2821 * Document antiquotation @{file} checks file/directory entries within
  2822 the local file system.
  2823 
  2824 
  2825 *** HOL ***
  2826 
  2827 * Coercive subtyping: functions can be declared as coercions and type
  2828 inference will add them as necessary upon input of a term.  Theory
  2829 Complex_Main declares real :: nat => real and real :: int => real as
  2830 coercions. A coercion function f is declared like this:
  2831 
  2832   declare [[coercion f]]
  2833 
  2834 To lift coercions through type constructors (e.g. from nat => real to
  2835 nat list => real list), map functions can be declared, e.g.
  2836 
  2837   declare [[coercion_map map]]
  2838 
  2839 Currently coercion inference is activated only in theories including
  2840 real numbers, i.e. descendants of Complex_Main.  This is controlled by
  2841 the configuration option "coercion_enabled", e.g. it can be enabled in
  2842 other theories like this:
  2843 
  2844   declare [[coercion_enabled]]
  2845 
  2846 * Command 'partial_function' provides basic support for recursive
  2847 function definitions over complete partial orders.  Concrete instances
  2848 are provided for i) the option type, ii) tail recursion on arbitrary
  2849 types, and iii) the heap monad of Imperative_HOL.  See
  2850 src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy and src/HOL/Imperative_HOL/ex/Linked_Lists.thy
  2851 for examples.
  2852 
  2853 * Function package: f.psimps rules are no longer implicitly declared
  2854 as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2855 
  2856 * Datatype package: theorems generated for executable equality (class
  2857 "eq") carry proper names and are treated as default code equations.
  2858 
  2859 * Inductive package: now offers command 'inductive_simps' to
  2860 automatically derive instantiated and simplified equations for
  2861 inductive predicates, similar to 'inductive_cases'.
  2862 
  2863 * Command 'enriched_type' allows to register properties of the
  2864 functorial structure of types.
  2865 
  2866 * Improved infrastructure for term evaluation using code generator
  2867 techniques, in particular static evaluation conversions.
  2868 
  2869 * Code generator: Scala (2.8 or higher) has been added to the target
  2870 languages.
  2871 
  2872 * Code generator: globbing constant expressions "*" and "Theory.*"
  2873 have been replaced by the more idiomatic "_" and "Theory._".
  2874 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2875 
  2876 * Code generator: export_code without explicit file declaration prints
  2877 to standard output.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2878 
  2879 * Code generator: do not print function definitions for case
  2880 combinators any longer.
  2881 
  2882 * Code generator: simplification with rules determined with
  2883 src/Tools/Code/code_simp.ML and method "code_simp".
  2884 
  2885 * Code generator for records: more idiomatic representation of record
  2886 types.  Warning: records are not covered by ancient SML code
  2887 generation any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  In cases of need, a suitable
  2888 rep_datatype declaration helps to succeed then:
  2889 
  2890   record 'a foo = ...
  2891   ...
  2892   rep_datatype foo_ext ...
  2893 
  2894 * Records: logical foundation type for records does not carry a
  2895 '_type' suffix any longer (obsolete due to authentic syntax).
  2896 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2897 
  2898 * Quickcheck now by default uses exhaustive testing instead of random
  2899 testing.  Random testing can be invoked by "quickcheck [random]",
  2900 exhaustive testing by "quickcheck [exhaustive]".
  2901 
  2902 * Quickcheck instantiates polymorphic types with small finite
  2903 datatypes by default. This enables a simple execution mechanism to
  2904 handle quantifiers and function equality over the finite datatypes.
  2905 
  2906 * Quickcheck random generator has been renamed from "code" to
  2907 "random".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2908 
  2909 * Quickcheck now has a configurable time limit which is set to 30
  2910 seconds by default. This can be changed by adding [timeout = n] to the
  2911 quickcheck command. The time limit for Auto Quickcheck is still set
  2912 independently.
  2913 
  2914 * Quickcheck in locales considers interpretations of that locale for
  2915 counter example search.
  2916 
  2917 * Sledgehammer:
  2918   - Added "smt" and "remote_smt" provers based on the "smt" proof
  2919     method. See the Sledgehammer manual for details ("isabelle doc
  2920     sledgehammer").
  2921   - Renamed commands:
  2922     sledgehammer atp_info ~> sledgehammer running_provers
  2923     sledgehammer atp_kill ~> sledgehammer kill_provers
  2924     sledgehammer available_atps ~> sledgehammer available_provers
  2925     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2926   - Renamed options:
  2927     sledgehammer [atps = ...] ~> sledgehammer [provers = ...]
  2928     sledgehammer [atp = ...] ~> sledgehammer [prover = ...]
  2929     sledgehammer [timeout = 77 s] ~> sledgehammer [timeout = 77]
  2930     (and "ms" and "min" are no longer supported)
  2931     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2932 
  2933 * Nitpick:
  2934   - Renamed options:
  2935     nitpick [timeout = 77 s] ~> nitpick [timeout = 77]
  2936     nitpick [tac_timeout = 777 ms] ~> nitpick [tac_timeout = 0.777]
  2937     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2938   - Added support for partial quotient types.
  2939   - Added local versions of the "Nitpick.register_xxx" functions.
  2940   - Added "whack" option.
  2941   - Allow registration of quotient types as codatatypes.
  2942   - Improved "merge_type_vars" option to merge more types.
  2943   - Removed unsound "fast_descrs" option.
  2944   - Added custom symmetry breaking for datatypes, making it possible to reach
  2945     higher cardinalities.
  2946   - Prevent the expansion of too large definitions.
  2947 
  2948 * Proof methods "metis" and "meson" now have configuration options
  2949 "meson_trace", "metis_trace", and "metis_verbose" that can be enabled
  2950 to diagnose these tools. E.g.
  2951 
  2952     using [[metis_trace = true]]
  2953 
  2954 * Auto Solve: Renamed "Auto Solve Direct".  The tool is now available
  2955 manually as command 'solve_direct'.
  2956 
  2957 * The default SMT solver Z3 must be enabled explicitly (due to
  2958 licensing issues) by setting the environment variable
  2959 Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL in etc/settings of the component, for example.  For
  2960 commercial applications, the SMT solver CVC3 is provided as fall-back;
  2961 changing the SMT solver is done via the configuration option
  2962 "smt_solver".
  2963 
  2964 * Remote SMT solvers need to be referred to by the "remote_" prefix,
  2965 i.e. "remote_cvc3" and "remote_z3".
  2966 
  2967 * Added basic SMT support for datatypes, records, and typedefs using
  2968 the oracle mode (no proofs).  Direct support of pairs has been dropped
  2969 in exchange (pass theorems fst_conv snd_conv pair_collapse to the SMT
  2970 support for a similar behavior).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2971 
  2972 * Changed SMT configuration options:
  2973   - Renamed:
  2974     z3_proofs ~> smt_oracle (with inverted meaning)
  2975     z3_trace_assms ~> smt_trace_used_facts
  2976     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2977   - Added:
  2978     smt_verbose
  2979     smt_random_seed
  2980     smt_datatypes
  2981     smt_infer_triggers
  2982     smt_monomorph_limit
  2983     cvc3_options
  2984     remote_cvc3_options
  2985     remote_z3_options
  2986     yices_options
  2987 
  2988 * Boogie output files (.b2i files) need to be declared in the theory
  2989 header.
  2990 
  2991 * Simplification procedure "list_to_set_comprehension" rewrites list
  2992 comprehensions applied to List.set to set comprehensions.  Occasional
  2993 INCOMPATIBILITY, may be deactivated like this:
  2994 
  2995   declare [[simproc del: list_to_set_comprehension]]
  2996 
  2997 * Removed old version of primrec package.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2998 
  2999 * Removed simplifier congruence rule of "prod_case", as has for long
  3000 been the case with "split".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3001 
  3002 * String.literal is a type, but not a datatype.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3003 
  3004 * Removed [split_format ... and ... and ...] version of
  3005 [split_format].  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3006 
  3007 * Predicate "sorted" now defined inductively, with nice induction
  3008 rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY: former sorted.simps now named sorted_simps.
  3009 
  3010 * Constant "contents" renamed to "the_elem", to free the generic name
  3011 contents for other uses.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3012 
  3013 * Renamed class eq and constant eq (for code generation) to class
  3014 equal and constant equal, plus renaming of related facts and various
  3015 tuning.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3016 
  3017 * Dropped type classes mult_mono and mult_mono1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3018 
  3019 * Removed output syntax "'a ~=> 'b" for "'a => 'b option".
  3020 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3021 
  3022 * Renamed theory Fset to Cset, type Fset.fset to Cset.set, in order to
  3023 avoid confusion with finite sets.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3024 
  3025 * Abandoned locales equiv, congruent and congruent2 for equivalence
  3026 relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use equivI rather than equiv_intro (same
  3027 for congruent(2)).
  3028 
  3029 * Some previously unqualified names have been qualified:
  3030 
  3031   types
  3032     bool ~> HOL.bool
  3033     nat ~> Nat.nat
  3034 
  3035   constants
  3036     Trueprop ~> HOL.Trueprop
  3037     True ~> HOL.True

  3039     op & ~> HOL.conj
  3040     op | ~> HOL.disj
  3041     op --> ~> HOL.implies
  3042     op = ~> HOL.eq

  3053     Pair ~> Product_Type.Pair
  3054     fst ~> Product_Type.fst
  3055     snd ~> Product_Type.snd
  3056     curry ~> Product_Type.curry
  3057     op : ~> Set.member
  3058     Collect ~> Set.Collect
  3059 
  3060 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3061 
  3062 * More canonical naming convention for some fundamental definitions:
  3063 
  3064     bot_bool_eq ~> bot_bool_def
  3065     top_bool_eq ~> top_bool_def
  3066     inf_bool_eq ~> inf_bool_def
  3067     sup_bool_eq ~> sup_bool_def
  3068     bot_fun_eq  ~> bot_fun_def
  3069     top_fun_eq  ~> top_fun_def
  3070     inf_fun_eq  ~> inf_fun_def
  3071     sup_fun_eq  ~> sup_fun_def
  3072 
  3073 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3074 
  3075 * More stylized fact names:
  3076 
  3077   expand_fun_eq ~> fun_eq_iff
  3078   expand_set_eq ~> set_eq_iff
  3079   set_ext       ~> set_eqI
  3080   nat_number    ~> eval_nat_numeral
  3081 
  3082 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3083 
  3084 * Refactoring of code-generation specific operations in theory List:
  3085 
  3086   constants
  3087     null ~> List.null
  3088 
  3089   facts
  3090     mem_iff ~> member_def
  3091     null_empty ~> null_def
  3092 
  3093 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that these were not supposed to be used
  3094 regularly unless for striking reasons; their main purpose was code
  3095 generation.
  3096 
  3097 Various operations from the Haskell prelude are used for generating
  3098 Haskell code.
  3099 
  3100 * Term "bij f" is now an abbreviation of "bij_betw f UNIV UNIV".  Term
  3101 "surj f" is now an abbreviation of "range f = UNIV".  The theorems
  3102 bij_def and surj_def are unchanged.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3103 
  3104 * Abolished some non-alphabetic type names: "prod" and "sum" replace
  3105 "*" and "+" respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3106 
  3107 * Name "Plus" of disjoint sum operator "<+>" is now hidden.  Write
  3108 "Sum_Type.Plus" instead.
  3109 
  3110 * Constant "split" has been merged with constant "prod_case"; names of
  3111 ML functions, facts etc. involving split have been retained so far,
  3112 though.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3113 
  3114 * Dropped old infix syntax "_ mem _" for List.member; use "_ : set _"
  3115 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3116 
  3117 * Removed lemma "Option.is_none_none" which duplicates "is_none_def".
  3118 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3119 
  3120 * Former theory Library/Enum is now part of the HOL-Main image.
  3121 INCOMPATIBILITY: all constants of the Enum theory now have to be
  3122 referred to by its qualified name.
  3123 
  3124   enum    ~>  Enum.enum
  3125   nlists  ~>  Enum.nlists
  3126   product ~>  Enum.product
  3127 
  3128 * Theory Library/Monad_Syntax provides do-syntax for monad types.
  3129 Syntax in Library/State_Monad has been changed to avoid ambiguities.
  3130 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3131 
  3132 * Theory Library/SetsAndFunctions has been split into
  3133 Library/Function_Algebras and Library/Set_Algebras; canonical names
  3134 for instance definitions for functions; various improvements.
  3135 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3136 
  3137 * Theory Library/Multiset provides stable quicksort implementation of
  3138 sort_key.
  3139 
  3140 * Theory Library/Multiset: renamed empty_idemp ~> empty_neutral.
  3141 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3142 
  3143 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: introduced a type class for euclidean
  3144 space.  Most theorems are now stated in terms of euclidean spaces
  3145 instead of finite cartesian products.
  3146 
  3147   types
  3148     real ^ 'n ~>  'a::real_vector
  3149               ~>  'a::euclidean_space
  3150               ~>  'a::ordered_euclidean_space
  3151         (depends on your needs)
  3152 
  3153   constants
  3154      _ $ _        ~> _ $$ _
  3155      \<chi> x. _  ~> \<chi>\<chi> x. _
  3156      CARD('n)     ~> DIM('a)
  3157 
  3158 Also note that the indices are now natural numbers and not from some
  3159 finite type. Finite cartesian products of euclidean spaces, products
  3160 of euclidean spaces the real and complex numbers are instantiated to
  3161 be euclidean_spaces.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3162 
  3163 * Session Probability: introduced pextreal as positive extended real
  3164 numbers.  Use pextreal as value for measures.  Introduce the
  3165 Radon-Nikodym derivative, product spaces and Fubini's theorem for
  3166 arbitrary sigma finite measures.  Introduces Lebesgue measure based on
  3167 the integral in Multivariate Analysis.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3168 
  3169 * Session Imperative_HOL: revamped, corrected dozens of inadequacies.
  3170 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3171 
  3172 * Session SPARK (with image HOL-SPARK) provides commands to load and
  3173 prove verification conditions generated by the SPARK Ada program
  3174 verifier.  See also src/HOL/SPARK and src/HOL/SPARK/Examples.
  3175 
  3176 
  3177 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  3178 
  3179 * Theorems for additive ring operations (locale abelian_monoid and
  3180 descendants) are generated by interpretation from their multiplicative
  3181 counterparts.  Names (in particular theorem names) have the mandatory
  3182 qualifier 'add'.  Previous theorem names are redeclared for
  3183 compatibility.
  3184 
  3185 * Structure "int_ring" is now an abbreviation (previously a
  3186 definition).  This fits more natural with advanced interpretations.
  3187 
  3188 
  3189 *** HOLCF ***
  3190 
  3191 * The domain package now runs in definitional mode by default: The
  3192 former command 'new_domain' is now called 'domain'.  To use the domain
  3193 package in its original axiomatic mode, use 'domain (unsafe)'.
  3194 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3195 
  3196 * The new class "domain" is now the default sort.  Class "predomain"
  3197 is an unpointed version of "domain". Theories can be updated by
  3198 replacing sort annotations as shown below.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3199 
  3200   'a::type ~> 'a::countable
  3201   'a::cpo  ~> 'a::predomain
  3202   'a::pcpo ~> 'a::domain
  3203 
  3204 * The old type class "rep" has been superseded by class "domain".
  3205 Accordingly, users of the definitional package must remove any
  3206 "default_sort rep" declarations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3207 
  3208 * The domain package (definitional mode) now supports unpointed
  3209 predomain argument types, as long as they are marked 'lazy'. (Strict
  3210 arguments must be in class "domain".) For example, the following
  3211 domain definition now works:
  3212 
  3213   domain natlist = nil | cons (lazy "nat discr") (lazy "natlist")
  3214 
  3215 * Theory HOLCF/Library/HOL_Cpo provides cpo and predomain class
  3216 instances for types from main HOL: bool, nat, int, char, 'a + 'b,
  3217 'a option, and 'a list.  Additionally, it configures fixrec and the
  3218 domain package to work with these types.  For example:
  3219 
  3220   fixrec isInl :: "('a + 'b) u -> tr"
  3221     where "isInl$(up$(Inl x)) = TT" | "isInl$(up$(Inr y)) = FF"
  3222 
  3223   domain V = VFun (lazy "V -> V") | VCon (lazy "nat") (lazy "V list")
  3224 
  3225 * The "(permissive)" option of fixrec has been replaced with a
  3226 per-equation "(unchecked)" option. See
  3227 src/HOL/HOLCF/Tutorial/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3228 
  3229 * The "bifinite" class no longer fixes a constant "approx"; the class
  3230 now just asserts that such a function exists.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3231 
  3232 * Former type "alg_defl" has been renamed to "defl".  HOLCF no longer
  3233 defines an embedding of type 'a defl into udom by default; instances
  3234 of "bifinite" and "domain" classes are available in
  3235 src/HOL/HOLCF/Library/Defl_Bifinite.thy.
  3236 
  3237 * The syntax "REP('a)" has been replaced with "DEFL('a)".
  3238 
  3239 * The predicate "directed" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3240 
  3241 * The type class "finite_po" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3242 
  3243 * The function "cprod_map" has been renamed to "prod_map".
  3244 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3245 
  3246 * The monadic bind operator on each powerdomain has new binder syntax
  3247 similar to sets, e.g. "\<Union>\<sharp>x\<in>xs. t" represents
  3248 "upper_bind\<cdot>xs\<cdot>(\<Lambda> x. t)".
  3249 
  3250 * The infix syntax for binary union on each powerdomain has changed
  3251 from e.g. "+\<sharp>" to "\<union>\<sharp>", for consistency with set
  3252 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3253 
  3254 * The constant "UU" has been renamed to "bottom".  The syntax "UU" is
  3255 still supported as an input translation.
  3256 
  3257 * Renamed some theorems (the original names are also still available).
  3258 
  3259   expand_fun_below   ~> fun_below_iff
  3260   below_fun_ext      ~> fun_belowI
  3261   expand_cfun_eq     ~> cfun_eq_iff
  3262   ext_cfun           ~> cfun_eqI
  3263   expand_cfun_below  ~> cfun_below_iff
  3264   below_cfun_ext     ~> cfun_belowI
  3265   cont2cont_Rep_CFun ~> cont2cont_APP
  3266 
  3267 * The Abs and Rep functions for various types have changed names.
  3268 Related theorem names have also changed to match. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3269 
  3270   Rep_CFun  ~> Rep_cfun
  3271   Abs_CFun  ~> Abs_cfun
  3272   Rep_Sprod ~> Rep_sprod
  3273   Abs_Sprod ~> Abs_sprod
  3274   Rep_Ssum  ~> Rep_ssum
  3275   Abs_Ssum  ~> Abs_ssum
  3276 
  3277 * Lemmas with names of the form *_defined_iff or *_strict_iff have
  3278 been renamed to *_bottom_iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3279 
  3280 * Various changes to bisimulation/coinduction with domain package:
  3281 
  3282   - Definitions of "bisim" constants no longer mention definedness.
  3283   - With mutual recursion, "bisim" predicate is now curried.
  3284   - With mutual recursion, each type gets a separate coind theorem.
  3285   - Variable names in bisim_def and coinduct rules have changed.
  3286 
  3287 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3288 
  3289 * Case combinators generated by the domain package for type "foo" are
  3290 now named "foo_case" instead of "foo_when".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3291 
  3292 * Several theorems have been renamed to more accurately reflect the
  3293 names of constants and types involved.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3364 
  3365 *** FOL and ZF ***
  3366 
  3367 * All constant names are now qualified internally and use proper
  3368 identifiers, e.g. "IFOL.eq" instead of "op =".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3369 
  3370 
  3371 *** ML ***
  3372 
  3373 * Antiquotation @{assert} inlines a function bool -> unit that raises
  3374 Fail if the argument is false.  Due to inlining the source position of
  3375 failed assertions is included in the error output.
  3376 
  3377 * Discontinued antiquotation @{theory_ref}, which is obsolete since ML
  3378 text is in practice always evaluated with a stable theory checkpoint.
  3379 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use (Theory.check_thy @{theory}) instead.
  3380 
  3381 * Antiquotation @{theory A} refers to theory A from the ancestry of
  3382 the current context, not any accidental theory loader state as before.
  3383 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, subtle change in semantics.
  3384 
  3385 * Syntax.pretty_priority (default 0) configures the required priority
  3386 of pretty-printed output and thus affects insertion of parentheses.
  3387 
  3388 * Syntax.default_root (default "any") configures the inner syntax
  3389 category (nonterminal symbol) for parsing of terms.
  3390 
  3391 * Former exception Library.UnequalLengths now coincides with
  3392 ListPair.UnequalLengths.
  3393 
  3394 * Renamed structure MetaSimplifier to Raw_Simplifier.  Note that the
  3395 main functionality is provided by structure Simplifier.
  3396 
  3397 * Renamed raw "explode" function to "raw_explode" to emphasize its
  3398 meaning.  Note that internally to Isabelle, Symbol.explode is used in
  3399 almost all situations.
  3400 
  3401 * Discontinued obsolete function sys_error and exception SYS_ERROR.
  3402 See implementation manual for further details on exceptions in
  3403 Isabelle/ML.
  3404 
  3405 * Renamed setmp_noncritical to Unsynchronized.setmp to emphasize its
  3406 meaning.
  3407 
  3408 * Renamed structure PureThy to Pure_Thy and moved most of its
  3409 operations to structure Global_Theory, to emphasize that this is
  3410 rarely-used global-only stuff.
  3411 
  3412 * Discontinued Output.debug.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use plain writeln
  3413 instead (or tracing for high-volume output).
  3414 
  3415 * Configuration option show_question_marks only affects regular pretty
  3416 printing of types and terms, not raw Term.string_of_vname.
  3417 
  3418 * ML_Context.thm and ML_Context.thms are no longer pervasive.  Rare
  3419 INCOMPATIBILITY, superseded by static antiquotations @{thm} and
  3420 @{thms} for most purposes.
  3421 
  3422 * ML structure Unsynchronized is never opened, not even in Isar
  3423 interaction mode as before.  Old Unsynchronized.set etc. have been
  3424 discontinued -- use plain := instead.  This should be *rare* anyway,
  3425 since modern tools always work via official context data, notably
  3426 configuration options.
  3427 
  3428 * Parallel and asynchronous execution requires special care concerning
  3429 interrupts.  Structure Exn provides some convenience functions that
  3430 avoid working directly with raw Interrupt.  User code must not absorb
  3431 interrupts -- intermediate handling (for cleanup etc.) needs to be
  3432 followed by re-raising of the original exception.  Another common
  3433 source of mistakes are "handle _" patterns, which make the meaning of
  3434 the program subject to physical effects of the environment.

  3437 
  3438 New in Isabelle2009-2 (June 2010)
  3439 ---------------------------------
  3440 
  3441 *** General ***
  3442 
  3443 * Authentic syntax for *all* logical entities (type classes, type
  3444 constructors, term constants): provides simple and robust
  3445 correspondence between formal entities and concrete syntax.  Within
  3446 the parse tree / AST representations, "constants" are decorated by
  3447 their category (class, type, const) and spelled out explicitly with
  3448 their full internal name.
  3449 
  3450 Substantial INCOMPATIBILITY concerning low-level syntax declarations
  3451 and translations (translation rules and translation functions in ML).
  3452 Some hints on upgrading:
  3453 
  3454   - Many existing uses of 'syntax' and 'translations' can be replaced
  3455     by more modern 'type_notation', 'notation' and 'abbreviation',
  3456     which are independent of this issue.
  3457 
  3458   - 'translations' require markup within the AST; the term syntax
  3459     provides the following special forms:
  3460 
  3461       CONST c   -- produces syntax version of constant c from context
  3462       XCONST c  -- literally c, checked as constant from context
  3463       c         -- literally c, if declared by 'syntax'
  3464 
  3465     Plain identifiers are treated as AST variables -- occasionally the
  3466     system indicates accidental variables via the error "rhs contains
  3467     extra variables".
  3468 
  3469     Type classes and type constructors are marked according to their
  3470     concrete syntax.  Some old translations rules need to be written
  3471     for the "type" category, using type constructor application
  3472     instead of pseudo-term application of the default category
  3473     "logic".
  3474 
  3475   - 'parse_translation' etc. in ML may use the following
  3476     antiquotations:
  3477 
  3478       @{class_syntax c}   -- type class c within parse tree / AST
  3479       @{term_syntax c}    -- type constructor c within parse tree / AST
  3480       @{const_syntax c}   -- ML version of "CONST c" above
  3481       @{syntax_const c}   -- literally c (checked wrt. 'syntax' declarations)
  3482 
  3483   - Literal types within 'typed_print_translations', i.e. those *not*
  3484     represented as pseudo-terms are represented verbatim.  Use @{class
  3485     c} or @{type_name c} here instead of the above syntax
  3486     antiquotations.
  3487 
  3488 Note that old non-authentic syntax was based on unqualified base
  3489 names, so all of the above "constant" names would coincide.  Recall
  3490 that 'print_syntax' and ML_command "set Syntax.trace_ast" help to
  3491 diagnose syntax problems.
  3492 
  3493 * Type constructors admit general mixfix syntax, not just infix.
  3494 
  3495 * Concrete syntax may be attached to local entities without a proof
  3496 body, too.  This works via regular mixfix annotations for 'fix',
  3497 'def', 'obtain' etc. or via the explicit 'write' command, which is
  3498 similar to the 'notation' command in theory specifications.
  3499 
  3500 * Discontinued unnamed infix syntax (legacy feature for many years) --
  3501 need to specify constant name and syntax separately.  Internal ML
  3502 datatype constructors have been renamed from InfixName to Infix etc.
  3503 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3504 
  3505 * Schematic theorem statements need to be explicitly markup as such,
  3506 via commands 'schematic_lemma', 'schematic_theorem',
  3507 'schematic_corollary'.  Thus the relevance of the proof is made
  3508 syntactically clear, which impacts performance in a parallel or
  3509 asynchronous interactive environment.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3510 
  3511 * Use of cumulative prems via "!" in some proof methods has been
  3512 discontinued (old legacy feature).
  3513 
  3514 * References 'trace_simp' and 'debug_simp' have been replaced by
  3515 configuration options stored in the context. Enabling tracing (the
  3516 case of debugging is similar) in proofs works via
  3517 
  3518   using [[trace_simp = true]]
  3519 
  3520 Tracing is then active for all invocations of the simplifier in
  3521 subsequent goal refinement steps. Tracing may also still be enabled or
  3522 disabled via the ProofGeneral settings menu.
  3523 
  3524 * Separate commands 'hide_class', 'hide_type', 'hide_const',
  3525 'hide_fact' replace the former 'hide' KIND command.  Minor
  3526 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3527 
  3528 * Improved parallelism of proof term normalization: usedir -p2 -q0 is
  3529 more efficient than combinations with -q1 or -q2.
  3530 
  3531 
  3532 *** Pure ***
  3533 
  3534 * Proofterms record type-class reasoning explicitly, using the
  3535 "unconstrain" operation internally.  This eliminates all sort
  3536 constraints from a theorem and proof, introducing explicit
  3537 OFCLASS-premises.  On the proof term level, this operation is
  3538 automatically applied at theorem boundaries, such that closed proofs
  3539 are always free of sort constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools that
  3540 inspect proof terms.
  3541 
  3542 * Local theory specifications may depend on extra type variables that
  3543 are not present in the result type -- arguments TYPE('a) :: 'a itself
  3544 are added internally.  For example:
  3545 
  3546   definition unitary :: bool where "unitary = (ALL (x::'a) y. x = y)"
  3547 
  3548 * Predicates of locales introduced by classes carry a mandatory
  3549 "class" prefix.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3550 
  3551 * Vacuous class specifications observe default sort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3552 
  3553 * Old 'axclass' command has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  3554 'class' instead.
  3555 
  3556 * Command 'code_reflect' allows to incorporate generated ML code into
  3557 runtime environment; replaces immature code_datatype antiquotation.
  3558 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3559 
  3560 * Code generator: simple concept for abstract datatypes obeying
  3561 invariants.
  3562 
  3563 * Code generator: details of internal data cache have no impact on the
  3564 user space functionality any longer.
  3565 
  3566 * Methods "unfold_locales" and "intro_locales" ignore non-locale
  3567 subgoals.  This is more appropriate for interpretations with 'where'.
  3568 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3569 
  3570 * Command 'example_proof' opens an empty proof body.  This allows to
  3571 experiment with Isar, without producing any persistent result.
  3572 
  3573 * Commands 'type_notation' and 'no_type_notation' declare type syntax
  3574 within a local theory context, with explicit checking of the
  3575 constructors involved (in contrast to the raw 'syntax' versions).
  3576 
  3577 * Commands 'types' and 'typedecl' now work within a local theory
  3578 context -- without introducing dependencies on parameters or
  3579 assumptions, which is not possible in Isabelle/Pure.
  3580 
  3581 * Command 'defaultsort' has been renamed to 'default_sort', it works
  3582 within a local theory context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3583 
  3584 
  3585 *** HOL ***
  3586 
  3587 * Command 'typedef' now works within a local theory context -- without
  3588 introducing dependencies on parameters or assumptions, which is not
  3589 possible in Isabelle/Pure/HOL.  Note that the logical environment may
  3590 contain multiple interpretations of local typedefs (with different
  3591 non-emptiness proofs), even in a global theory context.
  3592 
  3593 * New package for quotient types.  Commands 'quotient_type' and
  3594 'quotient_definition' may be used for defining types and constants by
  3595 quotient constructions.  An example is the type of integers created by
  3596 quotienting pairs of natural numbers:
  3597 
  3598   fun
  3599     intrel :: "(nat * nat) => (nat * nat) => bool"
  3600   where
  3601     "intrel (x, y) (u, v) = (x + v = u + y)"
  3602 
  3603   quotient_type int = "nat * nat" / intrel
  3604     by (auto simp add: equivp_def expand_fun_eq)
  3605 
  3606   quotient_definition
  3607     "0::int" is "(0::nat, 0::nat)"
  3608 
  3609 The method "lifting" can be used to lift of theorems from the
  3610 underlying "raw" type to the quotient type.  The example
  3611 src/HOL/Quotient_Examples/FSet.thy includes such a quotient
  3612 construction and provides a reasoning infrastructure for finite sets.
  3613 
  3614 * Renamed Library/Quotient.thy to Library/Quotient_Type.thy to avoid
  3615 clash with new theory Quotient in Main HOL.
  3616 
  3617 * Moved the SMT binding into the main HOL session, eliminating
  3618 separate HOL-SMT session.
  3619 
  3620 * List membership infix mem operation is only an input abbreviation.
  3621 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3622 
  3623 * Theory Library/Word.thy has been removed.  Use library Word/Word.thy
  3624 for future developements; former Library/Word.thy is still present in
  3625 the AFP entry RSAPPS.
  3626 
  3627 * Theorem Int.int_induct renamed to Int.int_of_nat_induct and is no
  3628 longer shadowed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3629 
  3630 * Dropped theorem duplicate comp_arith; use semiring_norm instead.
  3631 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3632 
  3633 * Dropped theorem RealPow.real_sq_order; use power2_le_imp_le instead.
  3634 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3635 
  3636 * Dropped normalizing_semiring etc; use the facts in semiring classes
  3637 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3638 
  3639 * Dropped several real-specific versions of lemmas about floor and
  3640 ceiling; use the generic lemmas from theory "Archimedean_Field"
  3641 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3674 * Theory "Finite_Set": various folding_XXX locales facilitate the
  3675 application of the various fold combinators on finite sets.
  3676 
  3677 * Library theory "RBT" renamed to "RBT_Impl"; new library theory "RBT"
  3678 provides abstract red-black tree type which is backed by "RBT_Impl" as
  3679 implementation.  INCOMPATIBILTY.
  3680 
  3681 * Theory Library/Coinductive_List has been removed -- superseded by
  3682 AFP/thys/Coinductive.
  3683 
  3684 * Theory PReal, including the type "preal" and related operations, has
  3685 been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3686 
  3687 * Real: new development using Cauchy Sequences.
  3688 
  3689 * Split off theory "Big_Operators" containing setsum, setprod,
  3690 Inf_fin, Sup_fin, Min, Max from theory Finite_Set.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3691 
  3692 * Theory "Rational" renamed to "Rat", for consistency with "Nat",
  3693 "Int" etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3694 
  3695 * Constant Rat.normalize needs to be qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3696 
  3697 * New set of rules "ac_simps" provides combined assoc / commute
  3698 rewrites for all interpretations of the appropriate generic locales.
  3699 
  3700 * Renamed theory "OrderedGroup" to "Groups" and split theory
  3701 "Ring_and_Field" into theories "Rings" and "Fields"; for more
  3702 appropriate and more consistent names suitable for name prefixes
  3703 within the HOL theories.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3704 
  3705 * Some generic constants have been put to appropriate theories:
  3706   - less_eq, less: Orderings
  3707   - zero, one, plus, minus, uminus, times, abs, sgn: Groups
  3708   - inverse, divide: Rings
  3709 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3710 
  3711 * More consistent naming of type classes involving orderings (and
  3712 lattices):

  3761 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3762 
  3763 * Refined field classes:
  3764   - classes division_ring_inverse_zero, field_inverse_zero,
  3765     linordered_field_inverse_zero include rule inverse 0 = 0 --
  3766     subsumes former division_by_zero class;
  3767   - numerous lemmas have been ported from field to division_ring.
  3768 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3769 
  3770 * Refined algebra theorem collections:
  3771   - dropped theorem group group_simps, use algebra_simps instead;
  3772   - dropped theorem group ring_simps, use field_simps instead;
  3773   - proper theorem collection field_simps subsumes former theorem
  3774     groups field_eq_simps and field_simps;
  3775   - dropped lemma eq_minus_self_iff which is a duplicate for
  3776     equal_neg_zero.
  3777 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3778 
  3779 * Theory Finite_Set and List: some lemmas have been generalized from
  3780 sets to lattices:
  3781 
  3782   fun_left_comm_idem_inter      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_inf
  3783   fun_left_comm_idem_union      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_sup
  3784   inter_Inter_fold_inter        ~> inf_Inf_fold_inf
  3785   union_Union_fold_union        ~> sup_Sup_fold_sup
  3786   Inter_fold_inter              ~> Inf_fold_inf
  3787   Union_fold_union              ~> Sup_fold_sup
  3788   inter_INTER_fold_inter        ~> inf_INFI_fold_inf
  3789   union_UNION_fold_union        ~> sup_SUPR_fold_sup
  3790   INTER_fold_inter              ~> INFI_fold_inf
  3791   UNION_fold_union              ~> SUPR_fold_sup
  3792 
  3793 * Theory "Complete_Lattice": lemmas top_def and bot_def have been
  3794 replaced by the more convenient lemmas Inf_empty and Sup_empty.
  3795 Dropped lemmas Inf_insert_simp and Sup_insert_simp, which are subsumed
  3796 by Inf_insert and Sup_insert.  Lemmas Inf_UNIV and Sup_UNIV replace
  3797 former Inf_Univ and Sup_Univ.  Lemmas inf_top_right and sup_bot_right
  3798 subsume inf_top and sup_bot respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3799 
  3800 * Reorganized theory Multiset: swapped notation of pointwise and
  3801 multiset order:
  3802 
  3803   - pointwise ordering is instance of class order with standard syntax
  3804     <= and <;
  3805   - multiset ordering has syntax <=# and <#; partial order properties
  3806     are provided by means of interpretation with prefix
  3807     multiset_order;
  3808   - less duplication, less historical organization of sections,
  3809     conversion from associations lists to multisets, rudimentary code
  3810     generation;
  3811   - use insert_DiffM2 [symmetric] instead of elem_imp_eq_diff_union,
  3812     if needed.
  3813 
  3814 Renamed:
  3815 
  3816   multiset_eq_conv_count_eq  ~>  multiset_ext_iff
  3817   multi_count_ext  ~>  multiset_ext
  3818   diff_union_inverse2  ~>  diff_union_cancelR
  3819 
  3820 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3821 
  3822 * Theory Permutation: replaced local "remove" by List.remove1.
  3823 
  3824 * Code generation: ML and OCaml code is decorated with signatures.
  3825 
  3826 * Theory List: added transpose.
  3827 
  3828 * Library/Nat_Bijection.thy is a collection of bijective functions
  3829 between nat and other types, which supersedes the older libraries
  3830 Library/Nat_Int_Bij.thy and HOLCF/NatIso.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3860   Nat_Int_Bij.bij_int_to_nat_bij  ~> bij_int_decode
  3861 
  3862 * Sledgehammer:
  3863   - Renamed ATP commands:
  3864     atp_info     ~> sledgehammer running_atps
  3865     atp_kill     ~> sledgehammer kill_atps
  3866     atp_messages ~> sledgehammer messages
  3867     atp_minimize ~> sledgehammer minimize
  3868     print_atps   ~> sledgehammer available_atps
  3869     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3870   - Added user's manual ("isabelle doc sledgehammer").
  3871   - Added option syntax and "sledgehammer_params" to customize
  3872     Sledgehammer's behavior.  See the manual for details.
  3873   - Modified the Isar proof reconstruction code so that it produces
  3874     direct proofs rather than proofs by contradiction.  (This feature
  3875     is still experimental.)
  3876   - Made Isar proof reconstruction work for SPASS, remote ATPs, and in
  3877     full-typed mode.
  3878   - Added support for TPTP syntax for SPASS via the "spass_tptp" ATP.
  3879 
  3880 * Nitpick:
  3881   - Added and implemented "binary_ints" and "bits" options.
  3882   - Added "std" option and implemented support for nonstandard models.
  3883   - Added and implemented "finitize" option to improve the precision
  3884     of infinite datatypes based on a monotonicity analysis.
  3885   - Added support for quotient types.
  3886   - Added support for "specification" and "ax_specification"
  3887     constructs.
  3888   - Added support for local definitions (for "function" and
  3889     "termination" proofs).
  3890   - Added support for term postprocessors.
  3891   - Optimized "Multiset.multiset" and "FinFun.finfun".
  3892   - Improved efficiency of "destroy_constrs" optimization.
  3893   - Fixed soundness bugs related to "destroy_constrs" optimization and
  3894     record getters.
  3895   - Fixed soundness bug related to higher-order constructors.
  3896   - Fixed soundness bug when "full_descrs" is enabled.
  3897   - Improved precision of set constructs.
  3898   - Added "atoms" option.
  3899   - Added cache to speed up repeated Kodkod invocations on the same
  3900     problems.
  3901   - Renamed "MiniSatJNI", "zChaffJNI", "BerkMinAlloy", and
  3902     "SAT4JLight" to "MiniSat_JNI", "zChaff_JNI", "BerkMin_Alloy", and
  3903     "SAT4J_Light".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3904   - Removed "skolemize", "uncurry", "sym_break", "flatten_prop",
  3905     "sharing_depth", and "show_skolems" options.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3906   - Removed "nitpick_intro" attribute.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3907 
  3908 * Method "induct" now takes instantiations of the form t, where t is not
  3909   a variable, as a shorthand for "x == t", where x is a fresh variable.
  3910   If this is not intended, t has to be enclosed in parentheses.
  3911   By default, the equalities generated by definitional instantiations
  3912   are pre-simplified, which may cause parameters of inductive cases
  3913   to disappear, or may even delete some of the inductive cases.
  3914   Use "induct (no_simp)" instead of "induct" to restore the old
  3915   behaviour. The (no_simp) option is also understood by the "cases"
  3916   and "nominal_induct" methods, which now perform pre-simplification, too.
  3917   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3918 
  3919 
  3920 *** HOLCF ***
  3921 
  3922 * Variable names in lemmas generated by the domain package have
  3923 changed; the naming scheme is now consistent with the HOL datatype
  3924 package.  Some proof scripts may be affected, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3925 
  3926 * The domain package no longer defines the function "foo_copy" for
  3927 recursive domain "foo".  The reach lemma is now stated directly in
  3928 terms of "foo_take".  Lemmas and proofs that mention "foo_copy" must
  3929 be reformulated in terms of "foo_take", INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3930 
  3931 * Most definedness lemmas generated by the domain package (previously
  3932 of the form "x ~= UU ==> foo$x ~= UU") now have an if-and-only-if form
  3933 like "foo$x = UU <-> x = UU", which works better as a simp rule.
  3934 Proofs that used definedness lemmas as intro rules may break,
  3935 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3936 
  3937 * Induction and casedist rules generated by the domain package now
  3938 declare proper case_names (one called "bottom", and one named for each
  3939 constructor).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3940 
  3941 * For mutually-recursive domains, separate "reach" and "take_lemma"
  3942 rules are generated for each domain, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3943 
  3944   foo_bar.reach       ~> foo.reach  bar.reach
  3945   foo_bar.take_lemmas ~> foo.take_lemma  bar.take_lemma
  3946 
  3947 * Some lemmas generated by the domain package have been renamed for
  3948 consistency with the datatype package, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3949 
  3950   foo.ind        ~> foo.induct
  3951   foo.finite_ind ~> foo.finite_induct
  3952   foo.coind      ~> foo.coinduct
  3953   foo.casedist   ~> foo.exhaust
  3954   foo.exhaust    ~> foo.nchotomy
  3955 
  3956 * For consistency with other definition packages, the fixrec package
  3957 now generates qualified theorem names, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3958 
  3959   foo_simps  ~> foo.simps
  3960   foo_unfold ~> foo.unfold
  3961   foo_induct ~> foo.induct
  3962 
  3963 * The "fixrec_simp" attribute has been removed.  The "fixrec_simp"
  3964 method and internal fixrec proofs now use the default simpset instead.
  3965 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3966 
  3967 * The "contlub" predicate has been removed.  Proof scripts should use
  3968 lemma contI2 in place of monocontlub2cont, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3969 
  3970 * The "admw" predicate has been removed, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3971 
  3972 * The constants cpair, cfst, and csnd have been removed in favor of
  3973 Pair, fst, and snd from Isabelle/HOL, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3974 
  3975 
  3976 *** ML ***
  3977 
  3978 * Antiquotations for basic formal entities:
  3979 
  3980     @{class NAME}         -- type class
  3981     @{class_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of the above
  3982 
  3983     @{type_name NAME}     -- logical type
  3984     @{type_abbrev NAME}   -- type abbreviation
  3985     @{nonterminal NAME}   -- type of concrete syntactic category
  3986     @{type_syntax NAME}   -- syntax representation of any of the above
  3987 
  3988     @{const_name NAME}    -- logical constant (INCOMPATIBILITY)
  3989     @{const_abbrev NAME}  -- abbreviated constant
  3990     @{const_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of any of the above
  3991 
  3992 * Antiquotation @{syntax_const NAME} ensures that NAME refers to a raw
  3993 syntax constant (cf. 'syntax' command).
  3994 
  3995 * Antiquotation @{make_string} inlines a function to print arbitrary
  3996 values similar to the ML toplevel.  The result is compiler dependent
  3997 and may fall back on "?" in certain situations.
  3998 
  3999 * Diagnostic commands 'ML_val' and 'ML_command' may refer to
  4000 antiquotations @{Isar.state} and @{Isar.goal}.  This replaces impure
  4001 Isar.state() and Isar.goal(), which belong to the old TTY loop and do
  4002 not work with the asynchronous Isar document model.
  4003 
  4004 * Configuration options now admit dynamic default values, depending on
  4005 the context or even global references.
  4006 
  4007 * SHA1.digest digests strings according to SHA-1 (see RFC 3174).  It
  4008 uses an efficient external library if available (for Poly/ML).
  4009 
  4010 * Renamed some important ML structures, while keeping the old names
  4011 for some time as aliases within the structure Legacy:
  4012 
  4013   OuterKeyword  ~>  Keyword
  4014   OuterLex      ~>  Token
  4015   OuterParse    ~>  Parse
  4016   OuterSyntax   ~>  Outer_Syntax
  4017   PrintMode     ~>  Print_Mode
  4018   SpecParse     ~>  Parse_Spec
  4019   ThyInfo       ~>  Thy_Info
  4020   ThyLoad       ~>  Thy_Load
  4021   ThyOutput     ~>  Thy_Output
  4022   TypeInfer     ~>  Type_Infer
  4023 
  4024 Note that "open Legacy" simplifies porting of sources, but forgetting
  4025 to remove it again will complicate porting again in the future.
  4026 
  4027 * Most operations that refer to a global context are named
  4028 accordingly, e.g. Simplifier.global_context or
  4029 ProofContext.init_global.  There are some situations where a global
  4030 context actually works, but under normal circumstances one needs to
  4031 pass the proper local context through the code!
  4032 
  4033 * Discontinued old TheoryDataFun with its copy/init operation -- data
  4034 needs to be pure.  Functor Theory_Data_PP retains the traditional
  4035 Pretty.pp argument to merge, which is absent in the standard
  4036 Theory_Data version.
  4037 
  4038 * Sorts.certify_sort and derived "cert" operations for types and terms
  4039 no longer minimize sorts.  Thus certification at the boundary of the
  4040 inference kernel becomes invariant under addition of class relations,
  4041 which is an important monotonicity principle.  Sorts are now minimized
  4042 in the syntax layer only, at the boundary between the end-user and the
  4043 system.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY, may have to use Sign.minimize_sort
  4044 explicitly in rare situations.
  4045 
  4046 * Renamed old-style Drule.standard to Drule.export_without_context, to
  4047 emphasize that this is in no way a standard operation.
  4048 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4049 
  4050 * Subgoal.FOCUS (and variants): resulting goal state is normalized as
  4051 usual for resolution.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4052 
  4053 * Renamed varify/unvarify operations to varify_global/unvarify_global
  4054 to emphasize that these only work in a global situation (which is
  4055 quite rare).
  4056 
  4057 * Curried take and drop in library.ML; negative length is interpreted
  4058 as infinity (as in chop).  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4059 
  4060 * Proof terms: type substitutions on proof constants now use canonical
  4061 order of type variables.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools working with proof
  4062 terms.
  4063 
  4064 * Raw axioms/defs may no longer carry sort constraints, and raw defs
  4065 may no longer carry premises.  User-level specifications are
  4066 transformed accordingly by Thm.add_axiom/add_def.
  4067 
  4068 
  4069 *** System ***
  4070 
  4071 * Discontinued special HOL_USEDIR_OPTIONS for the main HOL image;
  4072 ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS applies uniformly to all sessions.  Note that
  4073 proof terms are enabled unconditionally in the new HOL-Proofs image.
  4074 
  4075 * Discontinued old ISABELLE and ISATOOL environment settings (legacy
  4076 feature since Isabelle2009).  Use ISABELLE_PROCESS and ISABELLE_TOOL,
  4077 respectively.
  4078 
  4079 * Old lib/scripts/polyml-platform is superseded by the
  4080 ISABELLE_PLATFORM setting variable, which defaults to the 32 bit
  4081 variant, even on a 64 bit machine.  The following example setting
  4082 prefers 64 bit if available:
  4083 
  4084   ML_PLATFORM="${ISABELLE_PLATFORM64:-$ISABELLE_PLATFORM}"
  4085 
  4086 * The preliminary Isabelle/jEdit application demonstrates the emerging
  4087 Isabelle/Scala layer for advanced prover interaction and integration.
  4088 See src/Tools/jEdit or "isabelle jedit" provided by the properly built
  4089 component.
  4090 
  4091 * "IsabelleText" is a Unicode font derived from Bitstream Vera Mono
  4092 and Bluesky TeX fonts.  It provides the usual Isabelle symbols,
  4093 similar to the default assignment of the document preparation system
  4094 (cf. isabellesym.sty).  The Isabelle/Scala class Isabelle_System
  4095 provides some operations for direct access to the font without asking
  4096 the user for manual installation.
  4097 
  4098 
  4099 
  4100 New in Isabelle2009-1 (December 2009)
  4101 -------------------------------------
  4102 
  4103 *** General ***
  4104 
  4105 * Discontinued old form of "escaped symbols" such as \\<forall>.  Only
  4106 one backslash should be used, even in ML sources.
  4107 
  4108 
  4109 *** Pure ***
  4110 
  4111 * Locale interpretation propagates mixins along the locale hierarchy.
  4112 The currently only available mixins are the equations used to map
  4113 local definitions to terms of the target domain of an interpretation.
  4114 
  4115 * Reactivated diagnostic command 'print_interps'.  Use "print_interps
  4116 loc" to print all interpretations of locale "loc" in the theory.
  4117 Interpretations in proofs are not shown.
  4118 
  4119 * Thoroughly revised locales tutorial.  New section on conditional
  4120 interpretation.
  4121 
  4122 * On instantiation of classes, remaining undefined class parameters
  4123 are formally declared.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4124 
  4125 
  4126 *** Document preparation ***
  4127 
  4128 * New generalized style concept for printing terms: @{foo (style) ...}
  4129 instead of @{foo_style style ...}  (old form is still retained for
  4130 backward compatibility).  Styles can be also applied for
  4131 antiquotations prop, term_type and typeof.
  4132 
  4133 
  4134 *** HOL ***
  4135 
  4136 * New proof method "smt" for a combination of first-order logic with
  4137 equality, linear and nonlinear (natural/integer/real) arithmetic, and
  4138 fixed-size bitvectors; there is also basic support for higher-order
  4139 features (esp. lambda abstractions).  It is an incomplete decision
  4140 procedure based on external SMT solvers using the oracle mechanism;
  4141 for the SMT solver Z3, this method is proof-producing.  Certificates
  4142 are provided to avoid calling the external solvers solely for
  4143 re-checking proofs.  Due to a remote SMT service there is no need for
  4144 installing SMT solvers locally.  See src/HOL/SMT.
  4145 
  4146 * New commands to load and prove verification conditions generated by
  4147 the Boogie program verifier or derived systems (e.g. the Verifying C
  4148 Compiler (VCC) or Spec#).  See src/HOL/Boogie.
  4149 
  4150 * New counterexample generator tool 'nitpick' based on the Kodkod
  4151 relational model finder.  See src/HOL/Tools/Nitpick and
  4152 src/HOL/Nitpick_Examples.
  4153 
  4154 * New commands 'code_pred' and 'values' to invoke the predicate
  4155 compiler and to enumerate values of inductive predicates.
  4156 
  4157 * A tabled implementation of the reflexive transitive closure.
  4158 
  4159 * New implementation of quickcheck uses generic code generator;
  4160 default generators are provided for all suitable HOL types, records
  4161 and datatypes.  Old quickcheck can be re-activated importing theory
  4162 Library/SML_Quickcheck.
  4163 
  4164 * New testing tool Mirabelle for automated proof tools.  Applies
  4165 several tools and tactics like sledgehammer, metis, or quickcheck, to
  4166 every proof step in a theory.  To be used in batch mode via the
  4167 "mirabelle" utility.
  4168 
  4169 * New proof method "sos" (sum of squares) for nonlinear real
  4170 arithmetic (originally due to John Harison). It requires theory
  4171 Library/Sum_Of_Squares.  It is not a complete decision procedure but
  4172 works well in practice on quantifier-free real arithmetic with +, -,
  4173 *, ^, =, <= and <, i.e. boolean combinations of equalities and
  4174 inequalities between polynomials.  It makes use of external
  4175 semidefinite programming solvers.  Method "sos" generates a
  4176 certificate that can be pasted into the proof thus avoiding the need
  4177 to call an external tool every time the proof is checked.  See
  4178 src/HOL/Library/Sum_Of_Squares.
  4179 
  4180 * New method "linarith" invokes existing linear arithmetic decision
  4181 procedure only.
  4182 
  4183 * New command 'atp_minimal' reduces result produced by Sledgehammer.
  4184 
  4185 * New Sledgehammer option "Full Types" in Proof General settings menu.
  4186 Causes full type information to be output to the ATPs.  This slows
  4187 ATPs down considerably but eliminates a source of unsound "proofs"
  4188 that fail later.
  4189 
  4190 * New method "metisFT": A version of metis that uses full type
  4191 information in order to avoid failures of proof reconstruction.
  4192 
  4193 * New evaluator "approximate" approximates an real valued term using
  4194 the same method as the approximation method.
  4195 
  4196 * Method "approximate" now supports arithmetic expressions as
  4197 boundaries of intervals and implements interval splitting and Taylor
  4198 series expansion.
  4199 
  4200 * ML antiquotation @{code_datatype} inserts definition of a datatype
  4201 generated by the code generator; e.g. see src/HOL/Predicate.thy.
  4202 
  4203 * New theory SupInf of the supremum and infimum operators for sets of
  4204 reals.
  4205 
  4206 * New theory Probability, which contains a development of measure
  4207 theory, eventually leading to Lebesgue integration and probability.
  4208 
  4209 * Extended Multivariate Analysis to include derivation and Brouwer's
  4210 fixpoint theorem.
  4211 
  4212 * Reorganization of number theory, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4213   - new number theory development for nat and int, in theories Divides
  4214     and GCD as well as in new session Number_Theory
  4215   - some constants and facts now suffixed with _nat and _int
  4216     accordingly
  4217   - former session NumberTheory now named Old_Number_Theory, including
  4218     theories Legacy_GCD and Primes (prefer Number_Theory if possible)
  4219   - moved theory Pocklington from src/HOL/Library to
  4220     src/HOL/Old_Number_Theory
  4221 
  4222 * Theory GCD includes functions Gcd/GCD and Lcm/LCM for the gcd and
  4223 lcm of finite and infinite sets. It is shown that they form a complete
  4224 lattice.
  4225 
  4226 * Class semiring_div requires superclass no_zero_divisors and proof of
  4227 div_mult_mult1; theorems div_mult_mult1, div_mult_mult2,
  4228 div_mult_mult1_if, div_mult_mult1 and div_mult_mult2 have been
  4229 generalized to class semiring_div, subsuming former theorems
  4230 zdiv_zmult_zmult1, zdiv_zmult_zmult1_if, zdiv_zmult_zmult1 and
  4231 zdiv_zmult_zmult2.  div_mult_mult1 is now [simp] by default.
  4232 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4233 
  4234 * Refinements to lattice classes and sets:
  4235   - less default intro/elim rules in locale variant, more default
  4236     intro/elim rules in class variant: more uniformity
  4237   - lemma ge_sup_conv renamed to le_sup_iff, in accordance with
  4238     le_inf_iff
  4239   - dropped lemma alias inf_ACI for inf_aci (same for sup_ACI and
  4240     sup_aci)
  4241   - renamed ACI to inf_sup_aci
  4242   - new class "boolean_algebra"
  4243   - class "complete_lattice" moved to separate theory
  4244     "Complete_Lattice"; corresponding constants (and abbreviations)
  4245     renamed and with authentic syntax:
  4246     Set.Inf ~>    Complete_Lattice.Inf
  4247     Set.Sup ~>    Complete_Lattice.Sup
  4248     Set.INFI ~>   Complete_Lattice.INFI
  4249     Set.SUPR ~>   Complete_Lattice.SUPR
  4250     Set.Inter ~>  Complete_Lattice.Inter
  4251     Set.Union ~>  Complete_Lattice.Union
  4252     Set.INTER ~>  Complete_Lattice.INTER
  4253     Set.UNION ~>  Complete_Lattice.UNION
  4254   - authentic syntax for
  4255     Set.Pow
  4256     Set.image
  4257   - mere abbreviations:
  4258     Set.empty               (for bot)
  4259     Set.UNIV                (for top)
  4260     Set.inter               (for inf, formerly Set.Int)
  4261     Set.union               (for sup, formerly Set.Un)
  4262     Complete_Lattice.Inter  (for Inf)
  4263     Complete_Lattice.Union  (for Sup)
  4264     Complete_Lattice.INTER  (for INFI)
  4265     Complete_Lattice.UNION  (for SUPR)
  4266   - object-logic definitions as far as appropriate
  4267 
  4268 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Care is required when theorems Int_subset_iff or
  4269 Un_subset_iff are explicitly deleted as default simp rules; then also
  4270 their lattice counterparts le_inf_iff and le_sup_iff have to be
  4271 deleted to achieve the desired effect.
  4272 
  4273 * Rules inf_absorb1, inf_absorb2, sup_absorb1, sup_absorb2 are no simp
  4274 rules by default any longer; the same applies to min_max.inf_absorb1
  4275 etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4276 
  4277 * Rules sup_Int_eq and sup_Un_eq are no longer declared as
  4278 pred_set_conv by default.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4279 
  4280 * Power operations on relations and functions are now one dedicated
  4281 constant "compow" with infix syntax "^^".  Power operation on
  4282 multiplicative monoids retains syntax "^" and is now defined generic
  4283 in class power.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4284 
  4285 * Relation composition "R O S" now has a more standard argument order:
  4286 "R O S = {(x, z). EX y. (x, y) : R & (y, z) : S}".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4287 rewrite propositions with "S O R" --> "R O S". Proofs may occasionally
  4288 break, since the O_assoc rule was not rewritten like this.  Fix using
  4289 O_assoc[symmetric].  The same applies to the curried version "R OO S".
  4290 
  4291 * Function "Inv" is renamed to "inv_into" and function "inv" is now an
  4292 abbreviation for "inv_into UNIV".  Lemmas are renamed accordingly.
  4293 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4294 
  4295 * Most rules produced by inductive and datatype package have mandatory
  4296 prefixes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4297 
  4298 * Changed "DERIV_intros" to a dynamic fact, which can be augmented by
  4299 the attribute of the same name.  Each of the theorems in the list
  4300 DERIV_intros assumes composition with an additional function and
  4301 matches a variable to the derivative, which has to be solved by the
  4302 Simplifier.  Hence (auto intro!: DERIV_intros) computes the derivative
  4303 of most elementary terms.  Former Maclauren.DERIV_tac and
  4304 Maclauren.deriv_tac should be replaced by (auto intro!: DERIV_intros).
  4305 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4306 
  4307 * Code generator attributes follow the usual underscore convention:
  4308     code_unfold     replaces    code unfold
  4309     code_post       replaces    code post
  4310     etc.
  4311   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4312 
  4313 * Renamed methods:
  4314     sizechange -> size_change
  4315     induct_scheme -> induction_schema
  4316   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4317 
  4318 * Discontinued abbreviation "arbitrary" of constant "undefined".
  4319 INCOMPATIBILITY, use "undefined" directly.
  4320 
  4321 * Renamed theorems:
  4322     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  4323     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1_left -> Suc_eq_plus1_left
  4324     Suc_plus1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  4325     *anti_sym -> *antisym*
  4326     vector_less_eq_def -> vector_le_def
  4327   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4328 
  4329 * Added theorem List.map_map as [simp].  Removed List.map_compose.
  4330 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4331 
  4332 * Removed predicate "M hassize n" (<--> card M = n & finite M).
  4333 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4334 
  4335 
  4336 *** HOLCF ***
  4337 
  4338 * Theory Representable defines a class "rep" of domains that are
  4339 representable (via an ep-pair) in the universal domain type "udom".
  4340 Instances are provided for all type constructors defined in HOLCF.
  4341 
  4342 * The 'new_domain' command is a purely definitional version of the
  4343 domain package, for representable domains.  Syntax is identical to the
  4344 old domain package.  The 'new_domain' package also supports indirect
  4345 recursion using previously-defined type constructors.  See
  4346 src/HOLCF/ex/New_Domain.thy for examples.
  4347 
  4348 * Method "fixrec_simp" unfolds one step of a fixrec-defined constant
  4349 on the left-hand side of an equation, and then performs
  4350 simplification.  Rewriting is done using rules declared with the
  4351 "fixrec_simp" attribute.  The "fixrec_simp" method is intended as a
  4352 replacement for "fixpat"; see src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples.
  4353 
  4354 * The pattern-match compiler in 'fixrec' can now handle constructors
  4355 with HOL function types.  Pattern-match combinators for the Pair
  4356 constructor are pre-configured.
  4357 
  4358 * The 'fixrec' package now produces better fixed-point induction rules
  4359 for mutually-recursive definitions:  Induction rules have conclusions
  4360 of the form "P foo bar" instead of "P <foo, bar>".
  4361 
  4362 * The constant "sq_le" (with infix syntax "<<" or "\<sqsubseteq>") has
  4363 been renamed to "below".  The name "below" now replaces "less" in many
  4364 theorem names.  (Legacy theorem names using "less" are still supported
  4365 as well.)
  4366 
  4367 * The 'fixrec' package now supports "bottom patterns".  Bottom
  4368 patterns can be used to generate strictness rules, or to make
  4369 functions more strict (much like the bang-patterns supported by the
  4370 Glasgow Haskell Compiler).  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  4371 examples.
  4372 
  4373 
  4374 *** ML ***
  4375 
  4376 * Support for Poly/ML 5.3.0, with improved reporting of compiler
  4377 errors and run-time exceptions, including detailed source positions.
  4378 
  4379 * Structure Name_Space (formerly NameSpace) now manages uniquely
  4380 identified entries, with some additional information such as source
  4381 position, logical grouping etc.
  4382 
  4383 * Theory and context data is now introduced by the simplified and
  4384 modernized functors Theory_Data, Proof_Data, Generic_Data.  Data needs
  4385 to be pure, but the old TheoryDataFun for mutable data (with explicit
  4386 copy operation) is still available for some time.
  4387 
  4388 * Structure Synchronized (cf. src/Pure/Concurrent/synchronized.ML)
  4389 provides a high-level programming interface to synchronized state
  4390 variables with atomic update.  This works via pure function
  4391 application within a critical section -- its runtime should be as
  4392 short as possible; beware of deadlocks if critical code is nested,
  4393 either directly or indirectly via other synchronized variables!
  4394 
  4395 * Structure Unsynchronized (cf. src/Pure/ML-Systems/unsynchronized.ML)
  4396 wraps raw ML references, explicitly indicating their non-thread-safe
  4397 behaviour.  The Isar toplevel keeps this structure open, to
  4398 accommodate Proof General as well as quick and dirty interactive
  4399 experiments with references.
  4400 
  4401 * PARALLEL_CHOICE and PARALLEL_GOALS provide basic support for
  4402 parallel tactical reasoning.
  4403 
  4404 * Tacticals Subgoal.FOCUS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PREMS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PARAMS
  4405 are similar to SUBPROOF, but are slightly more flexible: only the
  4406 specified parts of the subgoal are imported into the context, and the
  4407 body tactic may introduce new subgoals and schematic variables.
  4408 
  4409 * Old tactical METAHYPS, which does not observe the proof context, has
  4410 been renamed to Old_Goals.METAHYPS and awaits deletion.  Use SUBPROOF
  4411 or Subgoal.FOCUS etc.
  4412 
  4413 * Renamed functor TableFun to Table, and GraphFun to Graph.  (Since
  4414 functors have their own ML name space there is no point to mark them
  4415 separately.)  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4416 
  4417 * Renamed NamedThmsFun to Named_Thms.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4418 
  4419 * Renamed several structures FooBar to Foo_Bar.  Occasional,
  4420 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4421 
  4422 * Operations of structure Skip_Proof no longer require quick_and_dirty
  4423 mode, which avoids critical setmp.
  4424 
  4425 * Eliminated old Attrib.add_attributes, Method.add_methods and related
  4426 combinators for "args".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use simplified
  4427 Attrib/Method.setup introduced in Isabelle2009.
  4428 
  4429 * Proper context for simpset_of, claset_of, clasimpset_of.  May fall
  4430 back on global_simpset_of, global_claset_of, global_clasimpset_of as
  4431 last resort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4432 
  4433 * Display.pretty_thm now requires a proper context (cf. former
  4434 ProofContext.pretty_thm).  May fall back on Display.pretty_thm_global
  4435 or even Display.pretty_thm_without_context as last resort.
  4436 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4437 
  4438 * Discontinued Display.pretty_ctyp/cterm etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  4439 Syntax.pretty_typ/term directly, preferably with proper context
  4440 instead of global theory.
  4441 
  4442 
  4443 *** System ***
  4444 
  4445 * Further fine tuning of parallel proof checking, scales up to 8 cores
  4446 (max. speedup factor 5.0).  See also Goal.parallel_proofs in ML and
  4447 usedir option -q.
  4448 
  4449 * Support for additional "Isabelle components" via etc/components, see
  4450 also the system manual.
  4451 
  4452 * The isabelle makeall tool now operates on all components with
  4453 IsaMakefile, not just hardwired "logics".
  4454 
  4455 * Removed "compress" option from isabelle-process and isabelle usedir;
  4456 this is always enabled.
  4457 
  4458 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 4.x versions.
  4459 
  4460 * Isabelle tool "wwwfind" provides web interface for 'find_theorems'
  4461 on a given logic image.  This requires the lighttpd webserver and is
  4462 currently supported on Linux only.
  4463 
  4464 
  4465 
  4466 New in Isabelle2009 (April 2009)
  4467 --------------------------------
  4468 
  4469 *** General ***
  4470 
  4471 * Simplified main Isabelle executables, with less surprises on
  4472 case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  4473 
  4474   - The main Isabelle tool wrapper is now called "isabelle" instead of
  4475     "isatool."
  4476 
  4477   - The former "isabelle" alias for "isabelle-process" has been
  4478     removed (should rarely occur to regular users).
  4479 
  4480   - The former "isabelle-interface" and its alias "Isabelle" have been
  4481     removed (interfaces are now regular Isabelle tools).
  4482 
  4483 Within scripts and make files, the Isabelle environment variables
  4484 ISABELLE_TOOL and ISABELLE_PROCESS replace old ISATOOL and ISABELLE,
  4485 respectively.  (The latter are still available as legacy feature.)
  4486 
  4487 The old isabelle-interface wrapper could react in confusing ways if
  4488 the interface was uninstalled or changed otherwise.  Individual
  4489 interface tool configuration is now more explicit, see also the
  4490 Isabelle system manual.  In particular, Proof General is now available
  4491 via "isabelle emacs".
  4492 
  4493 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt derivative scripts.  Users may need to
  4494 purge installed copies of Isabelle executables and re-run "isabelle
  4495 install -p ...", or use symlinks.
  4496 
  4497 * The default for ISABELLE_HOME_USER is now ~/.isabelle instead of the
  4498 old ~/isabelle, which was slightly non-standard and apt to cause
  4499 surprises on case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  4500 
  4501 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to move existing ~/isabelle/etc,
  4502 ~/isabelle/heaps, ~/isabelle/browser_info to the new place.  Special
  4503 care is required when using older releases of Isabelle.  Note that
  4504 ISABELLE_HOME_USER can be changed in Isabelle/etc/settings of any
  4505 Isabelle distribution, in order to use the new ~/.isabelle uniformly.
  4506 
  4507 * Proofs of fully specified statements are run in parallel on
  4508 multi-core systems.  A speedup factor of 2.5 to 3.2 can be expected on
  4509 a regular 4-core machine, if the initial heap space is made reasonably
  4510 large (cf. Poly/ML option -H).  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  4511 
  4512 * The main reference manuals ("isar-ref", "implementation", and
  4513 "system") have been updated and extended.  Formally checked references
  4514 as hyperlinks are now available uniformly.
  4515 
  4516 
  4517 *** Pure ***
  4518 
  4519 * Complete re-implementation of locales.  INCOMPATIBILITY in several
  4520 respects.  The most important changes are listed below.  See the
  4521 Tutorial on Locales ("locales" manual) for details.
  4522 
  4523 - In locale expressions, instantiation replaces renaming.  Parameters
  4524 must be declared in a for clause.  To aid compatibility with previous
  4525 parameter inheritance, in locale declarations, parameters that are not
  4526 'touched' (instantiation position "_" or omitted) are implicitly added
  4527 with their syntax at the beginning of the for clause.
  4528 
  4529 - Syntax from abbreviations and definitions in locales is available in
  4530 locale expressions and context elements.  The latter is particularly
  4531 useful in locale declarations.
  4532 
  4533 - More flexible mechanisms to qualify names generated by locale
  4534 expressions.  Qualifiers (prefixes) may be specified in locale
  4535 expressions, and can be marked as mandatory (syntax: "name!:") or
  4536 optional (syntax "name?:").  The default depends for plain "name:"
  4537 depends on the situation where a locale expression is used: in
  4538 commands 'locale' and 'sublocale' prefixes are optional, in
  4539 'interpretation' and 'interpret' prefixes are mandatory.  The old
  4540 implicit qualifiers derived from the parameter names of a locale are
  4541 no longer generated.
  4542 
  4543 - Command "sublocale l < e" replaces "interpretation l < e".  The
  4544 instantiation clause in "interpretation" and "interpret" (square
  4545 brackets) is no longer available.  Use locale expressions.
  4546 
  4547 - When converting proof scripts, mandatory qualifiers in
  4548 'interpretation' and 'interpret' should be retained by default, even
  4549 if this is an INCOMPATIBILITY compared to former behavior.  In the
  4550 worst case, use the "name?:" form for non-mandatory ones.  Qualifiers
  4551 in locale expressions range over a single locale instance only.
  4552 
  4553 - Dropped locale element "includes".  This is a major INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4554 In existing theorem specifications replace the includes element by the
  4555 respective context elements of the included locale, omitting those
  4556 that are already present in the theorem specification.  Multiple
  4557 assume elements of a locale should be replaced by a single one
  4558 involving the locale predicate.  In the proof body, declarations (most
  4559 notably theorems) may be regained by interpreting the respective
  4560 locales in the proof context as required (command "interpret").
  4561 
  4562 If using "includes" in replacement of a target solely because the
  4563 parameter types in the theorem are not as general as in the target,
  4564 consider declaring a new locale with additional type constraints on
  4565 the parameters (context element "constrains").
  4566 
  4567 - Discontinued "locale (open)".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4568 
  4569 - Locale interpretation commands no longer attempt to simplify goal.
  4570 INCOMPATIBILITY: in rare situations the generated goal differs.  Use
  4571 methods intro_locales and unfold_locales to clarify.
  4572 
  4573 - Locale interpretation commands no longer accept interpretation
  4574 attributes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4575 
  4576 * Class declaration: so-called "base sort" must not be given in import
  4577 list any longer, but is inferred from the specification.  Particularly
  4578 in HOL, write
  4579 
  4580     class foo = ...
  4581 
  4582 instead of
  4583 
  4584     class foo = type + ...
  4585 
  4586 * Class target: global versions of theorems stemming do not carry a
  4587 parameter prefix any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4588 
  4589 * Class 'instance' command no longer accepts attached definitions.
  4590 INCOMPATIBILITY, use proper 'instantiation' target instead.
  4591 
  4592 * Recovered hiding of consts, which was accidentally broken in
  4593 Isabelle2007.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, ``hide const c'' really
  4594 makes c inaccessible; consider using ``hide (open) const c'' instead.
  4595 
  4596 * Slightly more coherent Pure syntax, with updated documentation in
  4597 isar-ref manual.  Removed locales meta_term_syntax and
  4598 meta_conjunction_syntax: TERM and &&& (formerly &&) are now permanent,
  4599 INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations.  Note that &&& should not be used
  4600 directly in regular applications.
  4601 
  4602 * There is a new syntactic category "float_const" for signed decimal
  4603 fractions (e.g. 123.45 or -123.45).
  4604 
  4605 * Removed exotic 'token_translation' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML
  4606 interface with 'setup' command instead.
  4607 
  4608 * Command 'local_setup' is similar to 'setup', but operates on a local
  4609 theory context.
  4610 
  4611 * The 'axiomatization' command now only works within a global theory
  4612 context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4613 
  4614 * Goal-directed proof now enforces strict proof irrelevance wrt. sort
  4615 hypotheses.  Sorts required in the course of reasoning need to be
  4616 covered by the constraints in the initial statement, completed by the
  4617 type instance information of the background theory.  Non-trivial sort
  4618 hypotheses, which rarely occur in practice, may be specified via
  4619 vacuous propositions of the form SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::c).  For example:
  4620 
  4621   lemma assumes "SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::empty)" shows False ...
  4622 
  4623 The result contains an implicit sort hypotheses as before --
  4624 SORT_CONSTRAINT premises are eliminated as part of the canonical rule
  4625 normalization.
  4626 
  4627 * Generalized Isar history, with support for linear undo, direct state
  4628 addressing etc.
  4629 
  4630 * Changed defaults for unify configuration options:
  4631 
  4632   unify_trace_bound = 50 (formerly 25)
  4633   unify_search_bound = 60 (formerly 30)
  4634 
  4635 * Different bookkeeping for code equations (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  4636 
  4637   a) On theory merge, the last set of code equations for a particular
  4638      constant is taken (in accordance with the policy applied by other
  4639      parts of the code generator framework).
  4640 
  4641   b) Code equations stemming from explicit declarations (e.g. code
  4642      attribute) gain priority over default code equations stemming
  4643      from definition, primrec, fun etc.
  4644 
  4645 * Keyword 'code_exception' now named 'code_abort'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4646 
  4647 * Unified theorem tables for both code generators.  Thus [code
  4648 func] has disappeared and only [code] remains.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4649 
  4650 * Command 'find_consts' searches for constants based on type and name
  4651 patterns, e.g.
  4652 
  4653     find_consts "_ => bool"
  4654 
  4655 By default, matching is against subtypes, but it may be restricted to
  4656 the whole type.  Searching by name is possible.  Multiple queries are
  4657 conjunctive and queries may be negated by prefixing them with a
  4658 hyphen:
  4659 
  4660     find_consts strict: "_ => bool" name: "Int" -"int => int"
  4661 
  4662 * New 'find_theorems' criterion "solves" matches theorems that
  4663 directly solve the current goal (modulo higher-order unification).
  4664 
  4665 * Auto solve feature for main theorem statements: whenever a new goal
  4666 is stated, "find_theorems solves" is called; any theorems that could
  4667 solve the lemma directly are listed as part of the goal state.
  4668 Cf. associated options in Proof General Isabelle settings menu,
  4669 enabled by default, with reasonable timeout for pathological cases of
  4670 higher-order unification.
  4671 
  4672 
  4673 *** Document preparation ***
  4674 
  4675 * Antiquotation @{lemma} now imitates a regular terminal proof,
  4676 demanding keyword 'by' and supporting the full method expression
  4677 syntax just like the Isar command 'by'.
  4678 
  4679 
  4680 *** HOL ***
  4681 
  4682 * Integrated main parts of former image HOL-Complex with HOL.  Entry
  4683 points Main and Complex_Main remain as before.
  4684 
  4685 * Logic image HOL-Plain provides a minimal HOL with the most important
  4686 tools available (inductive, datatype, primrec, ...).  This facilitates
  4687 experimentation and tool development.  Note that user applications
  4688 (and library theories) should never refer to anything below theory
  4689 Main, as before.
  4690 
  4691 * Logic image HOL-Main stops at theory Main, and thus facilitates
  4692 experimentation due to shorter build times.
  4693 
  4694 * Logic image HOL-NSA contains theories of nonstandard analysis which
  4695 were previously part of former HOL-Complex.  Entry point Hyperreal
  4696 remains valid, but theories formerly using Complex_Main should now use
  4697 new entry point Hypercomplex.
  4698 
  4699 * Generic ATP manager for Sledgehammer, based on ML threads instead of
  4700 Posix processes.  Avoids potentially expensive forking of the ML
  4701 process.  New thread-based implementation also works on non-Unix
  4702 platforms (Cygwin).  Provers are no longer hardwired, but defined
  4703 within the theory via plain ML wrapper functions.  Basic Sledgehammer
  4704 commands are covered in the isar-ref manual.
  4705 
  4706 * Wrapper scripts for remote SystemOnTPTP service allows to use
  4707 sledgehammer without local ATP installation (Vampire etc.). Other
  4708 provers may be included via suitable ML wrappers, see also
  4709 src/HOL/ATP_Linkup.thy.
  4710 
  4711 * ATP selection (E/Vampire/Spass) is now via Proof General's settings
  4712 menu.
  4713 
  4714 * The metis method no longer fails because the theorem is too trivial
  4715 (contains the empty clause).
  4716 
  4717 * The metis method now fails in the usual manner, rather than raising
  4718 an exception, if it determines that it cannot prove the theorem.
  4719 
  4720 * Method "coherent" implements a prover for coherent logic (see also
  4721 src/Tools/coherent.ML).
  4722 
  4723 * Constants "undefined" and "default" replace "arbitrary".  Usually
  4724 "undefined" is the right choice to replace "arbitrary", though
  4725 logically there is no difference.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4726 
  4727 * Command "value" now integrates different evaluation mechanisms.  The
  4728 result of the first successful evaluation mechanism is printed.  In
  4729 square brackets a particular named evaluation mechanisms may be
  4730 specified (currently, [SML], [code] or [nbe]).  See further
  4731 src/HOL/ex/Eval_Examples.thy.
  4732 
  4733 * Normalization by evaluation now allows non-leftlinear equations.
  4734 Declare with attribute [code nbe].
  4735 
  4736 * Methods "case_tac" and "induct_tac" now refer to the very same rules
  4737 as the structured Isar versions "cases" and "induct", cf. the
  4738 corresponding "cases" and "induct" attributes.  Mutual induction rules
  4739 are now presented as a list of individual projections
  4740 (e.g. foo_bar.inducts for types foo and bar); the old format with
  4741 explicit HOL conjunction is no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  4742 rare situations a different rule is selected --- notably nested tuple
  4743 elimination instead of former prod.exhaust: use explicit (case_tac t
  4744 rule: prod.exhaust) here.
  4745 
  4746 * Attributes "cases", "induct", "coinduct" support "del" option.
  4747 
  4748 * Removed fact "case_split_thm", which duplicates "case_split".
  4749 
  4750 * The option datatype has been moved to a new theory Option.  Renamed
  4751 option_map to Option.map, and o2s to Option.set, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4752 
  4753 * New predicate "strict_mono" classifies strict functions on partial
  4754 orders.  With strict functions on linear orders, reasoning about
  4755 (in)equalities is facilitated by theorems "strict_mono_eq",
  4756 "strict_mono_less_eq" and "strict_mono_less".
  4757 
  4758 * Some set operations are now proper qualified constants with
  4759 authentic syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4760 
  4761     op Int ~>   Set.Int
  4762     op Un ~>    Set.Un
  4763     INTER ~>    Set.INTER
  4764     UNION ~>    Set.UNION
  4765     Inter ~>    Set.Inter
  4766     Union ~>    Set.Union
  4767     {} ~>       Set.empty
  4768     UNIV ~>     Set.UNIV
  4769 
  4770 * Class complete_lattice with operations Inf, Sup, INFI, SUPR now in
  4771 theory Set.
  4772 
  4773 * Auxiliary class "itself" has disappeared -- classes without any
  4774 parameter are treated as expected by the 'class' command.
  4775 
  4776 * Leibnitz's Series for Pi and the arcus tangens and logarithm series.
  4777 
  4778 * Common decision procedures (Cooper, MIR, Ferrack, Approximation,
  4779 Dense_Linear_Order) are now in directory HOL/Decision_Procs.
  4780 
  4781 * Theory src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation provides the new proof
  4782 method "approximation".  It proves formulas on real values by using
  4783 interval arithmetic.  In the formulas are also the transcendental
  4784 functions sin, cos, tan, atan, ln, exp and the constant pi are
  4785 allowed. For examples see
  4786 src/HOL/Descision_Procs/ex/Approximation_Ex.thy.
  4787 
  4788 * Theory "Reflection" now resides in HOL/Library.
  4789 
  4790 * Entry point to Word library now simply named "Word".
  4791 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4792 
  4793 * Made source layout more coherent with logical distribution
  4794 structure:

  4847 
  4848 * If methods "eval" and "evaluation" encounter a structured proof
  4849 state with !!/==>, only the conclusion is evaluated to True (if
  4850 possible), avoiding strange error messages.
  4851 
  4852 * Method "sizechange" automates termination proofs using (a
  4853 modification of) the size-change principle.  Requires SAT solver.  See
  4854 src/HOL/ex/Termination.thy for examples.
  4855 
  4856 * Simplifier: simproc for let expressions now unfolds if bound
  4857 variable occurs at most once in let expression body.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4858 
  4859 * Method "arith": Linear arithmetic now ignores all inequalities when
  4860 fast_arith_neq_limit is exceeded, instead of giving up entirely.
  4861 
  4862 * New attribute "arith" for facts that should always be used
  4863 automatically by arithmetic. It is intended to be used locally in
  4864 proofs, e.g.
  4865 
  4866   assumes [arith]: "x > 0"
  4867 
  4868 Global usage is discouraged because of possible performance impact.
  4869 
  4870 * New classes "top" and "bot" with corresponding operations "top" and
  4871 "bot" in theory Orderings; instantiation of class "complete_lattice"
  4872 requires instantiation of classes "top" and "bot".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4873 
  4874 * Changed definition lemma "less_fun_def" in order to provide an
  4875 instance for preorders on functions; use lemma "less_le" instead.
  4876 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4877 
  4878 * Theory Orderings: class "wellorder" moved here, with explicit
  4879 induction rule "less_induct" as assumption.  For instantiation of
  4880 "wellorder" by means of predicate "wf", use rule wf_wellorderI.
  4881 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4882 
  4883 * Theory Orderings: added class "preorder" as superclass of "order".
  4884 INCOMPATIBILITY: Instantiation proofs for order, linorder
  4885 etc. slightly changed.  Some theorems named order_class.* now named
  4886 preorder_class.*.
  4887 
  4888 * Theory Relation: renamed "refl" to "refl_on", "reflexive" to "refl,
  4889 "diag" to "Id_on".
  4890 
  4891 * Theory Finite_Set: added a new fold combinator of type
  4892 
  4893   ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  4894 
  4895 Occasionally this is more convenient than the old fold combinator
  4896 which is now defined in terms of the new one and renamed to
  4897 fold_image.
  4898 
  4899 * Theories Ring_and_Field and OrderedGroup: The lemmas "group_simps"
  4900 and "ring_simps" have been replaced by "algebra_simps" (which can be
  4901 extended with further lemmas!).  At the moment both still exist but
  4902 the former will disappear at some point.
  4903 
  4904 * Theory Power: Lemma power_Suc is now declared as a simp rule in
  4905 class recpower.  Type-specific simp rules for various recpower types
  4906 have been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, rename old lemmas as follows:
  4907 
  4908 rat_power_0    -> power_0
  4909 rat_power_Suc  -> power_Suc
  4910 realpow_0      -> power_0
  4911 realpow_Suc    -> power_Suc
  4912 complexpow_0   -> power_0
  4913 complexpow_Suc -> power_Suc
  4914 power_poly_0   -> power_0
  4915 power_poly_Suc -> power_Suc
  4916 
  4917 * Theories Ring_and_Field and Divides: Definition of "op dvd" has been
  4918 moved to separate class dvd in Ring_and_Field; a couple of lemmas on
  4919 dvd has been generalized to class comm_semiring_1.  Likewise a bunch
  4920 of lemmas from Divides has been generalized from nat to class
  4921 semiring_div.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  This involves the following theorem
  4922 renames resulting from duplicate elimination:
  4923 
  4924     dvd_def_mod ~>          dvd_eq_mod_eq_0
  4925     zero_dvd_iff ~>         dvd_0_left_iff
  4926     dvd_0 ~>                dvd_0_right
  4927     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_DIV ~> div_by_0
  4928     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_MOD ~> mod_by_0
  4929     mult_div ~>             div_mult_self2_is_id
  4930     mult_mod ~>             mod_mult_self2_is_0
  4931 
  4932 * Theory IntDiv: removed many lemmas that are instances of class-based
  4933 generalizations (from Divides and Ring_and_Field).  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4934 rename old lemmas as follows:
  4935 
  4936 dvd_diff               -> nat_dvd_diff
  4937 dvd_zminus_iff         -> dvd_minus_iff

  4941 mod_mult_distrib_mod   -> mod_mult_eq
  4942 nat_mod_add_left_eq    -> mod_add_left_eq
  4943 nat_mod_add_right_eq   -> mod_add_right_eq
  4944 nat_mod_div_trivial    -> mod_div_trivial

  4953 zmod_eq0_zdvd_iff      -> dvd_eq_mod_eq_0[symmetric]

  4955 zmod_zadd_right_eq     -> mod_add_right_eq
  4956 zmod_zadd_self1        -> mod_add_self1
  4957 zmod_zadd_self2        -> mod_add_self2
  4958 zmod_zadd1_eq          -> mod_add_eq

  4977 zdvd_0_right           -> dvd_0_right
  4978 zdvd_0_left            -> dvd_0_left_iff
  4979 zdvd_1_left            -> one_dvd
  4980 zminus_dvd_iff         -> minus_dvd_iff
  4981 
  4982 * Theory Rational: 'Fract k 0' now equals '0'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4983 
  4984 * The real numbers offer decimal input syntax: 12.34 is translated
  4985 into 1234/10^2. This translation is not reversed upon output.
  4986 
  4987 * Theory Library/Polynomial defines an abstract type 'a poly of
  4988 univariate polynomials with coefficients of type 'a.  In addition to
  4989 the standard ring operations, it also supports div and mod.  Code
  4990 generation is also supported, using list-style constructors.
  4991 
  4992 * Theory Library/Inner_Product defines a class of real_inner for real
  4993 inner product spaces, with an overloaded operation inner :: 'a => 'a
  4994 => real.  Class real_inner is a subclass of real_normed_vector from
  4995 theory RealVector.
  4996 
  4997 * Theory Library/Product_Vector provides instances for the product
  4998 type 'a * 'b of several classes from RealVector and Inner_Product.
  4999 Definitions of addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, norms,
  5000 and inner products are included.
  5001 
  5002 * Theory Library/Bit defines the field "bit" of integers modulo 2.  In
  5003 addition to the field operations, numerals and case syntax are also
  5004 supported.
  5005 
  5006 * Theory Library/Diagonalize provides constructive version of Cantor's
  5007 first diagonalization argument.
  5008 
  5009 * Theory Library/GCD: Curried operations gcd, lcm (for nat) and zgcd,
  5010 zlcm (for int); carried together from various gcd/lcm developements in
  5011 the HOL Distribution.  Constants zgcd and zlcm replace former igcd and
  5012 ilcm; corresponding theorems renamed accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  5013 may recover tupled syntax as follows:
  5014 
  5015     hide (open) const gcd
  5016     abbreviation gcd where
  5017       "gcd == (%(a, b). GCD.gcd a b)"
  5018     notation (output)
  5019       GCD.gcd ("gcd '(_, _')")
  5020 
  5021 The same works for lcm, zgcd, zlcm.
  5022 
  5023 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity: added addition, numeral syntax and more
  5024 instantiations for algebraic structures.  Removed some duplicate
  5025 theorems.  Changes in simp rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5026 
  5027 * ML antiquotation @{code} takes a constant as argument and generates
  5028 corresponding code in background and inserts name of the corresponding
  5029 resulting ML value/function/datatype constructor binding in place.
  5030 All occurrences of @{code} with a single ML block are generated
  5031 simultaneously.  Provides a generic and safe interface for
  5032 instrumentalizing code generation.  See
  5033 src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Ferrack.thy for a more ambitious application.
  5034 In future you ought to refrain from ad-hoc compiling generated SML
  5035 code on the ML toplevel.  Note that (for technical reasons) @{code}
  5036 cannot refer to constants for which user-defined serializations are
  5037 set.  Refer to the corresponding ML counterpart directly in that
  5038 cases.
  5039 
  5040 * Command 'rep_datatype': instead of theorem names the command now
  5041 takes a list of terms denoting the constructors of the type to be
  5042 represented as datatype.  The characteristic theorems have to be
  5043 proven.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Also observe that the following theorems
  5044 have disappeared in favour of existing ones:
  5045 
  5046     unit_induct                 ~> unit.induct
  5047     prod_induct                 ~> prod.induct
  5048     sum_induct                  ~> sum.induct
  5049     Suc_Suc_eq                  ~> nat.inject
  5050     Suc_not_Zero Zero_not_Suc   ~> nat.distinct
  5051 
  5052 
  5053 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  5054 
  5055 * New locales for orders and lattices where the equivalence relation
  5056 is not restricted to equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY: all order and lattice
  5057 locales use a record structure with field eq for the equivalence.
  5058 
  5059 * New theory of factorial domains.
  5060 
  5061 * Units_l_inv and Units_r_inv are now simp rules by default.
  5062 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Simplifier proof that require deletion of l_inv
  5063 and/or r_inv will now also require deletion of these lemmas.
  5064 
  5065 * Renamed the following theorems, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5066 
  5067 UpperD ~> Upper_memD
  5068 LowerD ~> Lower_memD
  5069 least_carrier ~> least_closed
  5070 greatest_carrier ~> greatest_closed
  5071 greatest_Lower_above ~> greatest_Lower_below
  5072 one_zero ~> carrier_one_zero
  5073 one_not_zero ~> carrier_one_not_zero  (collision with assumption)
  5074 
  5075 
  5076 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  5077 
  5078 * Nominal datatypes can now contain type-variables.
  5079 
  5080 * Commands 'nominal_inductive' and 'equivariance' work with local
  5081 theory targets.
  5082 
  5083 * Nominal primrec can now works with local theory targets and its
  5084 specification syntax now conforms to the general format as seen in
  5085 'inductive' etc.
  5086 
  5087 * Method "perm_simp" honours the standard simplifier attributes
  5088 (no_asm), (no_asm_use) etc.
  5089 
  5090 * The new predicate #* is defined like freshness, except that on the
  5091 left hand side can be a set or list of atoms.
  5092 
  5093 * Experimental command 'nominal_inductive2' derives strong induction
  5094 principles for inductive definitions.  In contrast to
  5095 'nominal_inductive', which can only deal with a fixed number of
  5096 binders, it can deal with arbitrary expressions standing for sets of
  5097 atoms to be avoided.  The only inductive definition we have at the
  5098 moment that needs this generalisation is the typing rule for Lets in
  5099 the algorithm W:
  5100 
  5101  Gamma |- t1 : T1   (x,close Gamma T1)::Gamma |- t2 : T2   x#Gamma
  5102  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  5103          Gamma |- Let x be t1 in t2 : T2
  5104 
  5105 In this rule one wants to avoid all the binders that are introduced by
  5106 "close Gamma T1".  We are looking for other examples where this
  5107 feature might be useful.  Please let us know.
  5108 
  5109 
  5110 *** HOLCF ***
  5111 
  5112 * Reimplemented the simplification procedure for proving continuity
  5113 subgoals.  The new simproc is extensible; users can declare additional
  5114 continuity introduction rules with the attribute [cont2cont].
  5115 
  5116 * The continuity simproc now uses a different introduction rule for
  5117 solving continuity subgoals on terms with lambda abstractions.  In
  5118 some rare cases the new simproc may fail to solve subgoals that the
  5119 old one could solve, and "simp add: cont2cont_LAM" may be necessary.
  5120 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5121 
  5122 * Command 'fixrec': specification syntax now conforms to the general
  5123 format as seen in 'inductive' etc.  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  5124 examples.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5125 
  5126 
  5127 *** ZF ***
  5128 
  5129 * Proof of Zorn's Lemma for partial orders.
  5130 
  5131 
  5132 *** ML ***
  5133 
  5134 * Multithreading for Poly/ML 5.1/5.2 is no longer supported, only for
  5135 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.  Important note: the TimeLimit facility
  5136 depends on multithreading, so timouts will not work before Poly/ML
  5137 5.2.1!
  5138 
  5139 * High-level support for concurrent ML programming, see
  5140 src/Pure/Cuncurrent.  The data-oriented model of "future values" is
  5141 particularly convenient to organize independent functional
  5142 computations.  The concept of "synchronized variables" provides a
  5143 higher-order interface for components with shared state, avoiding the
  5144 delicate details of mutexes and condition variables.  (Requires
  5145 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  5146 
  5147 * ML bindings produced via Isar commands are stored within the Isar
  5148 context (theory or proof).  Consequently, commands like 'use' and 'ML'
  5149 become thread-safe and work with undo as expected (concerning
  5150 top-level bindings, not side-effects on global references).
  5151 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to provide proper Isar context when invoking the
  5152 compiler at runtime; really global bindings need to be given outside a
  5153 theory.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  5154 
  5155 * Command 'ML_prf' is analogous to 'ML' but works within a proof
  5156 context.  Top-level ML bindings are stored within the proof context in
  5157 a purely sequential fashion, disregarding the nested proof structure.
  5158 ML bindings introduced by 'ML_prf' are discarded at the end of the
  5159 proof.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  5160 
  5161 * Simplified ML attribute and method setup, cf. functions Attrib.setup
  5162 and Method.setup, as well as Isar commands 'attribute_setup' and
  5163 'method_setup'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for 'method_setup', need to simplify
  5164 existing code accordingly, or use plain 'setup' together with old
  5165 Method.add_method.
  5166 
  5167 * Simplified ML oracle interface Thm.add_oracle promotes 'a -> cterm
  5168 to 'a -> thm, while results are always tagged with an authentic oracle
  5169 name.  The Isar command 'oracle' is now polymorphic, no argument type
  5170 is specified.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify existing oracle code
  5171 accordingly.  Note that extra performance may be gained by producing
  5172 the cterm carefully, avoiding slow Thm.cterm_of.
  5173 
  5174 * Simplified interface for defining document antiquotations via
  5175 ThyOutput.antiquotation, ThyOutput.output, and optionally
  5176 ThyOutput.maybe_pretty_source.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify user
  5177 antiquotations accordingly, see src/Pure/Thy/thy_output.ML for common
  5178 examples.
  5179 
  5180 * More systematic treatment of long names, abstract name bindings, and
  5181 name space operations.  Basic operations on qualified names have been
  5182 move from structure NameSpace to Long_Name, e.g. Long_Name.base_name,
  5183 Long_Name.append.  Old type bstring has been mostly replaced by
  5184 abstract type binding (see structure Binding), which supports precise
  5185 qualification by packages and local theory targets, as well as proper
  5186 tracking of source positions.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to wrap old
  5187 bstring values into Binding.name, or better pass through abstract
  5188 bindings everywhere.  See further src/Pure/General/long_name.ML,
  5189 src/Pure/General/binding.ML and src/Pure/General/name_space.ML
  5190 
  5191 * Result facts (from PureThy.note_thms, ProofContext.note_thms,
  5192 LocalTheory.note etc.) now refer to the *full* internal name, not the
  5193 bstring as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY, not detected by ML type-checking!
  5194 
  5195 * Disposed old type and term read functions (Sign.read_def_typ,
  5196 Sign.read_typ, Sign.read_def_terms, Sign.read_term,
  5197 Thm.read_def_cterms, Thm.read_cterm etc.).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should
  5198 use regular Syntax.read_typ, Syntax.read_term, Syntax.read_typ_global,
  5199 Syntax.read_term_global etc.; see also OldGoals.read_term as last
  5200 resort for legacy applications.
  5201 
  5202 * Disposed old declarations, tactics, tactic combinators that refer to
  5203 the simpset or claset of an implicit theory (such as Addsimps,
  5204 Simp_tac, SIMPSET).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should use @{simpset} etc. in
  5205 embedded ML text, or local_simpset_of with a proper context passed as
  5206 explicit runtime argument.
  5207 
  5208 * Rules and tactics that read instantiations (read_instantiate,
  5209 res_inst_tac, thin_tac, subgoal_tac etc.) now demand a proper proof
  5210 context, which is required for parsing and type-checking.  Moreover,
  5211 the variables are specified as plain indexnames, not string encodings
  5212 thereof.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5213 
  5214 * Generic Toplevel.add_hook interface allows to analyze the result of
  5215 transactions.  E.g. see src/Pure/ProofGeneral/proof_general_pgip.ML
  5216 for theorem dependency output of transactions resulting in a new
  5217 theory state.
  5218 
  5219 * ML antiquotations: block-structured compilation context indicated by
  5220 \<lbrace> ... \<rbrace>; additional antiquotation forms:
  5221 
  5222   @{binding name}                         - basic name binding
  5223   @{let ?pat = term}                      - term abbreviation (HO matching)
  5224   @{note name = fact}                     - fact abbreviation
  5225   @{thm fact}                             - singleton fact (with attributes)
  5226   @{thms fact}                            - general fact (with attributes)
  5227   @{lemma prop by method}                 - singleton goal
  5228   @{lemma prop by meth1 meth2}            - singleton goal
  5229   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by method}      - general goal
  5230   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by meth1 meth2} - general goal
  5231   @{lemma (open) ...}                     - open derivation
  5232 
  5233 
  5234 *** System ***
  5235 
  5236 * The Isabelle "emacs" tool provides a specific interface to invoke
  5237 Proof General / Emacs, with more explicit failure if that is not
  5238 installed (the old isabelle-interface script silently falls back on
  5239 isabelle-process).  The PROOFGENERAL_HOME setting determines the
  5240 installation location of the Proof General distribution.
  5241 
  5242 * Isabelle/lib/classes/Pure.jar provides basic support to integrate
  5243 the Isabelle process into a JVM/Scala application.  See
  5244 Isabelle/lib/jedit/plugin for a minimal example.  (The obsolete Java
  5245 process wrapper has been discontinued.)
  5246 
  5247 * Added homegrown Isabelle font with unicode layout, see lib/fonts.
  5248 
  5249 * Various status messages (with exact source position information) are
  5250 emitted, if proper markup print mode is enabled.  This allows
  5251 user-interface components to provide detailed feedback on internal
  5252 prover operations.
  5253 
  5254 
  5255 
  5256 New in Isabelle2008 (June 2008)
  5257 -------------------------------
  5258 
  5259 *** General ***
  5260 
  5261 * The Isabelle/Isar Reference Manual (isar-ref) has been reorganized
  5262 and updated, with formally checked references as hyperlinks.
  5263 
  5264 * Theory loader: use_thy (and similar operations) no longer set the
  5265 implicit ML context, which was occasionally hard to predict and in
  5266 conflict with concurrency.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML within Isar which
  5267 provides a proper context already.
  5268 
  5269 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  5270 file are no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, regular 'uses' and
  5271 'use' within a theory file will do the job.
  5272 
  5273 * Name space merge now observes canonical order, i.e. the second space
  5274 is inserted into the first one, while existing entries in the first
  5275 space take precedence.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, may try to
  5276 swap theory imports.
  5277 
  5278 * Syntax: symbol \<chi> is now considered a letter.  Potential
  5279 INCOMPATIBILITY in identifier syntax etc.
  5280 
  5281 * Outer syntax: string tokens no longer admit escaped white space,
  5282 which was an accidental (undocumented) feature.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5283 white space without escapes.
  5284 
  5285 * Outer syntax: string tokens may contain arbitrary character codes
  5286 specified via 3 decimal digits (as in SML).  E.g. "foo\095bar" for
  5287 "foo_bar".
  5288 
  5289 
  5290 *** Pure ***
  5291 
  5292 * Context-dependent token translations.  Default setup reverts locally
  5293 fixed variables, and adds hilite markup for undeclared frees.
  5294 
  5295 * Unused theorems can be found using the new command 'unused_thms'.
  5296 There are three ways of invoking it:
  5297 
  5298 (1) unused_thms
  5299      Only finds unused theorems in the current theory.
  5300 
  5301 (2) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n -
  5302      Finds unused theorems in the current theory and all of its ancestors,
  5303      excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of their ancestors.
  5304 
  5305 (3) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n - thy'_1 ... thy'_m
  5306      Finds unused theorems in the theories thy'_1 ... thy'_m and all of
  5307      their ancestors, excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of
  5308      their ancestors.
  5309 
  5310 In order to increase the readability of the list produced by
  5311 unused_thms, theorems that have been created by a particular instance
  5312 of a theory command such as 'inductive' or 'function' are considered
  5313 to belong to the same "group", meaning that if at least one theorem in
  5314 this group is used, the other theorems in the same group are no longer
  5315 reported as unused.  Moreover, if all theorems in the group are
  5316 unused, only one theorem in the group is displayed.
  5317 
  5318 Note that proof objects have to be switched on in order for
  5319 unused_thms to work properly (i.e. !proofs must be >= 1, which is
  5320 usually the case when using Proof General with the default settings).
  5321 
  5322 * Authentic naming of facts disallows ad-hoc overwriting of previous
  5323 theorems within the same name space.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to remove
  5324 duplicate fact bindings, or even accidental fact duplications.  Note
  5325 that tools may maintain dynamically scoped facts systematically, using
  5326 PureThy.add_thms_dynamic.
  5327 
  5328 * Command 'hide' now allows to hide from "fact" name space as well.
  5329 
  5330 * Eliminated destructive theorem database, simpset, claset, and
  5331 clasimpset.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, really need to observe linear
  5332 update of theories within ML code.
  5333 
  5334 * Eliminated theory ProtoPure and CPure, leaving just one Pure theory.
  5335 INCOMPATIBILITY, object-logics depending on former Pure require
  5336 additional setup PureThy.old_appl_syntax_setup; object-logics
  5337 depending on former CPure need to refer to Pure.
  5338 
  5339 * Commands 'use' and 'ML' are now purely functional, operating on
  5340 theory/local_theory.  Removed former 'ML_setup' (on theory), use 'ML'
  5341 instead.  Added 'ML_val' as mere diagnostic replacement for 'ML'.
  5342 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5343 
  5344 * Command 'setup': discontinued implicit version with ML reference.
  5345 
  5346 * Instantiation target allows for simultaneous specification of class
  5347 instance operations together with an instantiation proof.
  5348 Type-checking phase allows to refer to class operations uniformly.
  5349 See src/HOL/Complex/Complex.thy for an Isar example and
  5350 src/HOL/Library/Eval.thy for an ML example.
  5351 
  5352 * Indexing of literal facts: be more serious about including only
  5353 facts from the visible specification/proof context, but not the
  5354 background context (locale etc.).  Affects `prop` notation and method
  5355 "fact".  INCOMPATIBILITY: need to name facts explicitly in rare
  5356 situations.
  5357 
  5358 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": removed obsolete/undocumented
  5359 "(open)" option, which used to expose internal bound variables to the
  5360 proof text.
  5361 
  5362 * Isar statements: removed obsolete case "rule_context".
  5363 INCOMPATIBILITY, better use explicit fixes/assumes.
  5364 
  5365 * Locale proofs: default proof step now includes 'unfold_locales';
  5366 hence 'proof' without argument may be used to unfold locale
  5367 predicates.
  5368 
  5369 
  5370 *** Document preparation ***
  5371 
  5372 * Simplified pdfsetup.sty: color/hyperref is used unconditionally for
  5373 both pdf and dvi (hyperlinks usually work in xdvi as well); removed
  5374 obsolete thumbpdf setup (contemporary PDF viewers do this on the
  5375 spot); renamed link color from "darkblue" to "linkcolor" (default
  5376 value unchanged, can be redefined via \definecolor); no longer sets
  5377 "a4paper" option (unnecessary or even intrusive).
  5378 
  5379 * Antiquotation @{lemma A method} proves proposition A by the given
  5380 method (either a method name or a method name plus (optional) method
  5381 arguments in parentheses) and prints A just like @{prop A}.
  5382 
  5383 
  5384 *** HOL ***
  5385 
  5386 * New primrec package.  Specification syntax conforms in style to
  5387 definition/function/....  No separate induction rule is provided.  The
  5388 "primrec" command distinguishes old-style and new-style specifications
  5389 by syntax.  The former primrec package is now named OldPrimrecPackage.
  5390 When adjusting theories, beware: constants stemming from new-style
  5391 primrec specifications have authentic syntax.
  5392 
  5393 * Metis prover is now an order of magnitude faster, and also works
  5394 with multithreading.
  5395 
  5396 * Metis: the maximum number of clauses that can be produced from a
  5397 theorem is now given by the attribute max_clauses.  Theorems that
  5398 exceed this number are ignored, with a warning printed.
  5399 
  5400 * Sledgehammer no longer produces structured proofs by default. To
  5401 enable, declare [[sledgehammer_full = true]].  Attributes
  5402 reconstruction_modulus, reconstruction_sorts renamed
  5403 sledgehammer_modulus, sledgehammer_sorts.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5404 
  5405 * Method "induct_scheme" derives user-specified induction rules
  5406 from well-founded induction and completeness of patterns. This factors
  5407 out some operations that are done internally by the function package
  5408 and makes them available separately.  See
  5409 src/HOL/ex/Induction_Scheme.thy for examples.
  5410 
  5411 * More flexible generation of measure functions for termination
  5412 proofs: Measure functions can be declared by proving a rule of the
  5413 form "is_measure f" and giving it the [measure_function] attribute.
  5414 The "is_measure" predicate is logically meaningless (always true), and
  5415 just guides the heuristic.  To find suitable measure functions, the
  5416 termination prover sets up the goal "is_measure ?f" of the appropriate
  5417 type and generates all solutions by prolog-style backwards proof using
  5418 the declared rules.
  5419 
  5420 This setup also deals with rules like 
  5421 
  5422   "is_measure f ==> is_measure (list_size f)"
  5423 
  5424 which accommodates nested datatypes that recurse through lists.
  5425 Similar rules are predeclared for products and option types.
  5426 
  5427 * Turned the type of sets "'a set" into an abbreviation for "'a => bool"
  5428 
  5429   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  5430 
  5431   - Definitions of overloaded constants on sets have to be replaced by
  5432     definitions on => and bool.
  5433 
  5434   - Some definitions of overloaded operators on sets can now be proved
  5435     using the definitions of the operators on => and bool.  Therefore,
  5436     the following theorems have been renamed:
  5437 
  5438       subset_def   -> subset_eq
  5439       psubset_def  -> psubset_eq
  5440       set_diff_def -> set_diff_eq
  5441       Compl_def    -> Compl_eq
  5442       Sup_set_def  -> Sup_set_eq
  5443       Inf_set_def  -> Inf_set_eq
  5444       sup_set_def  -> sup_set_eq
  5445       inf_set_def  -> inf_set_eq
  5446 
  5447   - Due to the incompleteness of the HO unification algorithm, some
  5448     rules such as subst may require manual instantiation, if some of
  5449     the unknowns in the rule is a set.
  5450 
  5451   - Higher order unification and forward proofs:
  5452     The proof pattern
  5453 
  5454       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5455       then have "EX S. P S" ..
  5456 
  5457     no longer works (due to the incompleteness of the HO unification
  5458     algorithm) and must be replaced by the pattern
  5459 
  5460       have "EX S. P S"
  5461       proof
  5462         show "P S" <...>
  5463       qed
  5464 
  5465   - Calculational reasoning with subst (or similar rules):
  5466     The proof pattern
  5467 
  5468       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5469       also have "S = T" <...>
  5470       finally have "P T" .
  5471 
  5472     no longer works (for similar reasons as the previous example) and
  5473     must be replaced by something like
  5474 
  5475       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  5476       moreover have "S = T" <...>
  5477       ultimately have "P T" by simp
  5478 
  5479   - Tactics or packages written in ML code:
  5480     Code performing pattern matching on types via
  5481 
  5482       Type ("set", [T]) => ...
  5483 
  5484     must be rewritten. Moreover, functions like strip_type or
  5485     binder_types no longer return the right value when applied to a
  5486     type of the form
  5487 
  5488       T1 => ... => Tn => U => bool
  5489 
  5490     rather than
  5491 
  5492       T1 => ... => Tn => U set
  5493 
  5494 * Merged theories Wellfounded_Recursion, Accessible_Part and
  5495 Wellfounded_Relations to theory Wellfounded.
  5496 
  5497 * Explicit class "eq" for executable equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5498 
  5499 * Class finite no longer treats UNIV as class parameter.  Use class
  5500 enum from theory Library/Enum instead to achieve a similar effect.
  5501 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5502 
  5503 * Theory List: rule list_induct2 now has explicitly named cases "Nil"
  5504 and "Cons".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5505 
  5506 * HOL (and FOL): renamed variables in rules imp_elim and swap.
  5507 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5508 
  5509 * Theory Product_Type: duplicated lemmas split_Pair_apply and
  5510 injective_fst_snd removed, use split_eta and prod_eqI instead.
  5511 Renamed upd_fst to apfst and upd_snd to apsnd.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5512 
  5513 * Theory Nat: removed redundant lemmas that merely duplicate lemmas of
  5514 the same name in theory Orderings:
  5515 
  5516   less_trans
  5517   less_linear
  5518   le_imp_less_or_eq
  5519   le_less_trans
  5520   less_le_trans
  5521   less_not_sym
  5522   less_asym
  5523 
  5524 Renamed less_imp_le to less_imp_le_nat, and less_irrefl to
  5525 less_irrefl_nat.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to more general types
  5526 and different variable names.
  5527 
  5528 * Library/Option_ord.thy: Canonical order on option type.
  5529 
  5530 * Library/RBT.thy: Red-black trees, an efficient implementation of
  5531 finite maps.
  5532 
  5533 * Library/Countable.thy: Type class for countable types.
  5534 
  5535 * Theory Int: The representation of numerals has changed.  The infix
  5536 operator BIT and the bit datatype with constructors B0 and B1 have
  5537 disappeared.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "Int.Bit0 x" and "Int.Bit1 y" in
  5538 place of "x BIT bit.B0" and "y BIT bit.B1", respectively.  Theorems
  5539 involving BIT, B0, or B1 have been renamed with "Bit0" or "Bit1"
  5540 accordingly.
  5541 
  5542 * Theory Nat: definition of <= and < on natural numbers no longer
  5543 depend on well-founded relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Definitions
  5544 le_def and less_def have disappeared.  Consider lemmas not_less
  5545 [symmetric, where ?'a = nat] and less_eq [symmetric] instead.
  5546 
  5547 * Theory Finite_Set: locales ACf, ACe, ACIf, ACIfSL and ACIfSLlin
  5548 (whose purpose mainly is for various fold_set functionals) have been
  5549 abandoned in favor of the existing algebraic classes
  5550 ab_semigroup_mult, comm_monoid_mult, ab_semigroup_idem_mult,
  5551 lower_semilattice (resp. upper_semilattice) and linorder.
  5552 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5553 
  5554 * Theory Transitive_Closure: induct and cases rules now declare proper
  5555 case_names ("base" and "step").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5556 
  5557 * Theorem Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct generalized to complete
  5558 lattices.  The form set-specific version is available as
  5559 Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct_set.
  5560 
  5561 * Renamed theorems "power.simps" to "power_int.simps".
  5562 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5563 
  5564 * Class semiring_div provides basic abstract properties of semirings
  5565 with division and modulo operations.  Subsumes former class dvd_mod.
  5566 
  5567 * Merged theories IntDef, Numeral and IntArith into unified theory
  5568 Int.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5569 
  5570 * Theory Library/Code_Index: type "index" now represents natural
  5571 numbers rather than integers.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5572 
  5573 * New class "uminus" with operation "uminus" (split of from class
  5574 "minus" which now only has operation "minus", binary).
  5575 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5576 
  5577 * Constants "card", "internal_split", "option_map" now with authentic
  5578 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5579 
  5580 * Definitions subset_def, psubset_def, set_diff_def, Compl_def,
  5581 le_bool_def, less_bool_def, le_fun_def, less_fun_def, inf_bool_def,
  5582 sup_bool_def, Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, inf_fun_def, sup_fun_def,
  5583 Inf_fun_def, Sup_fun_def, inf_set_def, sup_set_def, Inf_set_def,
  5584 Sup_set_def, le_def, less_def, option_map_def now with object
  5585 equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5586 
  5587 * Records. Removed K_record, and replaced it by pure lambda term
  5588 %x. c. The simplifier setup is now more robust against eta expansion.
  5589 INCOMPATIBILITY: in cases explicitly referring to K_record.
  5590 
  5591 * Library/Multiset: {#a, b, c#} abbreviates {#a#} + {#b#} + {#c#}.
  5592 
  5593 * Library/ListVector: new theory of arithmetic vector operations.
  5594 
  5595 * Library/Order_Relation: new theory of various orderings as sets of
  5596 pairs.  Defines preorders, partial orders, linear orders and
  5597 well-orders on sets and on types.
  5598 
  5599 
  5600 *** ZF ***
  5601 
  5602 * Renamed some theories to allow to loading both ZF and HOL in the
  5603 same session:
  5604 
  5605   Datatype  -> Datatype_ZF
  5606   Inductive -> Inductive_ZF
  5607   Int       -> Int_ZF
  5608   IntDiv    -> IntDiv_ZF
  5609   Nat       -> Nat_ZF
  5610   List      -> List_ZF
  5611   Main      -> Main_ZF
  5612 
  5613 INCOMPATIBILITY: ZF theories that import individual theories below
  5614 Main might need to be adapted.  Regular theory Main is still
  5615 available, as trivial extension of Main_ZF.
  5616 
  5617 
  5618 *** ML ***
  5619 
  5620 * ML within Isar: antiquotation @{const name} or @{const
  5621 name(typargs)} produces statically-checked Const term.
  5622 
  5623 * Functor NamedThmsFun: data is available to the user as dynamic fact
  5624 (of the same name).  Removed obsolete print command.
  5625 
  5626 * Removed obsolete "use_legacy_bindings" function.
  5627 
  5628 * The ``print mode'' is now a thread-local value derived from a global
  5629 template (the former print_mode reference), thus access becomes
  5630 non-critical.  The global print_mode reference is for session
  5631 management only; user-code should use print_mode_value,
  5632 print_mode_active, PrintMode.setmp etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5633 
  5634 * Functions system/system_out provide a robust way to invoke external
  5635 shell commands, with propagation of interrupts (requires Poly/ML
  5636 5.2.1).  Do not use OS.Process.system etc. from the basis library!
  5637 
  5638 
  5639 *** System ***
  5640 
  5641 * Default settings: PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS no longer impose xemacs ---
  5642 in accordance with Proof General 3.7, which prefers GNU emacs.
  5643 
  5644 * isatool tty runs Isabelle process with plain tty interaction;
  5645 optional line editor may be specified via ISABELLE_LINE_EDITOR
  5646 setting, the default settings attempt to locate "ledit" and "rlwrap".
  5647 
  5648 * isatool browser now works with Cygwin as well, using general
  5649 "javapath" function defined in Isabelle process environment.
  5650 
  5651 * YXML notation provides a simple and efficient alternative to
  5652 standard XML transfer syntax.  See src/Pure/General/yxml.ML and
  5653 isatool yxml as described in the Isabelle system manual.
  5654 
  5655 * JVM class isabelle.IsabelleProcess (located in Isabelle/lib/classes)
  5656 provides general wrapper for managing an Isabelle process in a robust
  5657 fashion, with ``cooked'' output from stdin/stderr.
  5658 
  5659 * Rudimentary Isabelle plugin for jEdit (see Isabelle/lib/jedit),
  5660 based on Isabelle/JVM process wrapper (see Isabelle/lib/classes).
  5661 
  5662 * Removed obsolete THIS_IS_ISABELLE_BUILD feature.  NB: the documented
  5663 way of changing the user's settings is via
  5664 ISABELLE_HOME_USER/etc/settings, which is a fully featured bash
  5665 script.
  5666 
  5667 * Multithreading.max_threads := 0 refers to the number of actual CPU
  5668 cores of the underlying machine, which is a good starting point for
  5669 optimal performance tuning.  The corresponding usedir option -M allows
  5670 "max" as an alias for "0".  WARNING: does not work on certain versions
  5671 of Mac OS (with Poly/ML 5.1).
  5672 
  5673 * isabelle-process: non-ML sessions are run with "nice", to reduce the
  5674 adverse effect of Isabelle flooding interactive front-ends (notably
  5675 ProofGeneral / XEmacs).
  5676 
  5677 
  5678 
  5679 New in Isabelle2007 (November 2007)
  5680 -----------------------------------
  5681 
  5682 *** General ***
  5683 
  5684 * More uniform information about legacy features, notably a
  5685 warning/error of "Legacy feature: ...", depending on the state of the
  5686 tolerate_legacy_features flag (default true). FUTURE INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5687 legacy features will disappear eventually.
  5688 
  5689 * Theory syntax: the header format ``theory A = B + C:'' has been
  5690 discontinued in favour of ``theory A imports B C begin''.  Use isatool
  5691 fixheaders to convert existing theory files.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5692 
  5693 * Theory syntax: the old non-Isar theory file format has been
  5694 discontinued altogether.  Note that ML proof scripts may still be used
  5695 with Isar theories; migration is usually quite simple with the ML
  5696 function use_legacy_bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5697 
  5698 * Theory syntax: some popular names (e.g. 'class', 'declaration',
  5699 'fun', 'help', 'if') are now keywords.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use double
  5700 quotes.
  5701 
  5702 * Theory loader: be more serious about observing the static theory
  5703 header specifications (including optional directories), but not the
  5704 accidental file locations of previously successful loads.  The strict
  5705 update policy of former update_thy is now already performed by
  5706 use_thy, so the former has been removed; use_thys updates several
  5707 theories simultaneously, just as 'imports' within a theory header
  5708 specification, but without merging the results.  Potential
  5709 INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to refine theory headers and commands
  5710 ROOT.ML which depend on load order.
  5711 
  5712 * Theory loader: optional support for content-based file
  5713 identification, instead of the traditional scheme of full physical
  5714 path plus date stamp; configured by the ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT setting
  5715 (cf. the system manual).  The new scheme allows to work with
  5716 non-finished theories in persistent session images, such that source
  5717 files may be moved later on without requiring reloads.
  5718 
  5719 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  5720 file (with the same base name as the theory) are considered a legacy
  5721 feature, which will disappear eventually. Even now, the theory loader
  5722 no longer maintains dependencies on such files.
  5723 
  5724 * Syntax: the scope for resolving ambiguities via type-inference is
  5725 now limited to individual terms, instead of whole simultaneous
  5726 specifications as before. This greatly reduces the complexity of the
  5727 syntax module and improves flexibility by separating parsing and
  5728 type-checking. INCOMPATIBILITY: additional type-constraints (explicit
  5729 'fixes' etc.) are required in rare situations.
  5730 
  5731 * Syntax: constants introduced by new-style packages ('definition',
  5732 'abbreviation' etc.) are passed through the syntax module in
  5733 ``authentic mode''. This means that associated mixfix annotations
  5734 really stick to such constants, independently of potential name space
  5735 ambiguities introduced later on. INCOMPATIBILITY: constants in parse
  5736 trees are represented slightly differently, may need to adapt syntax
  5737 translations accordingly. Use CONST marker in 'translations' and
  5738 @{const_syntax} antiquotation in 'parse_translation' etc.
  5739 
  5740 * Legacy goal package: reduced interface to the bare minimum required
  5741 to keep existing proof scripts running.  Most other user-level
  5742 functions are now part of the OldGoals structure, which is *not* open
  5743 by default (consider isatool expandshort before open OldGoals).
  5744 Removed top_sg, prin, printyp, pprint_term/typ altogether, because
  5745 these tend to cause confusion about the actual goal (!) context being
  5746 used here, which is not necessarily the same as the_context().
  5747 
  5748 * Command 'find_theorems': supports "*" wild-card in "name:"
  5749 criterion; "with_dups" option.  Certain ProofGeneral versions might
  5750 support a specific search form (see ProofGeneral/CHANGES).
  5751 
  5752 * The ``prems limit'' option (cf. ProofContext.prems_limit) is now -1
  5753 by default, which means that "prems" (and also "fixed variables") are
  5754 suppressed from proof state output.  Note that the ProofGeneral
  5755 settings mechanism allows to change and save options persistently, but
  5756 older versions of Isabelle will fail to start up if a negative prems
  5757 limit is imposed.
  5758 
  5759 * Local theory targets may be specified by non-nested blocks of
  5760 ``context/locale/class ... begin'' followed by ``end''.  The body may
  5761 contain definitions, theorems etc., including any derived mechanism
  5762 that has been implemented on top of these primitives.  This concept
  5763 generalizes the existing ``theorem (in ...)'' towards more versatility
  5764 and scalability.
  5765 
  5766 * Proof General interface: proper undo of final 'end' command;
  5767 discontinued Isabelle/classic mode (ML proof scripts).
  5768 
  5769 
  5770 *** Document preparation ***
  5771 
  5772 * Added antiquotation @{theory name} which prints the given name,
  5773 after checking that it refers to a valid ancestor theory in the
  5774 current context.
  5775 
  5776 * Added antiquotations @{ML_type text} and @{ML_struct text} which
  5777 check the given source text as ML type/structure, printing verbatim.
  5778 
  5779 * Added antiquotation @{abbrev "c args"} which prints the abbreviation
  5780 "c args == rhs" given in the current context.  (Any number of
  5781 arguments may be given on the LHS.)
  5782 
  5783 
  5784 *** Pure ***
  5785 
  5786 * The 'class' package offers a combination of axclass and locale to
  5787 achieve Haskell-like type classes in Isabelle.  Definitions and
  5788 theorems within a class context produce both relative results (with
  5789 implicit parameters according to the locale context), and polymorphic
  5790 constants with qualified polymorphism (according to the class
  5791 context).  Within the body context of a 'class' target, a separate
  5792 syntax layer ("user space type system") takes care of converting
  5793 between global polymorphic consts and internal locale representation.
  5794 See src/HOL/ex/Classpackage.thy for examples (as well as main HOL).
  5795 "isatool doc classes" provides a tutorial.
  5796 
  5797 * Generic code generator framework allows to generate executable
  5798 code for ML and Haskell (including Isabelle classes).  A short usage
  5799 sketch:
  5800 
  5801     internal compilation:
  5802         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML
  5803     writing SML code to a file:
  5804         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML <filename>
  5805     writing OCaml code to a file:
  5806         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in OCaml <filename>
  5807     writing Haskell code to a bunch of files:
  5808         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in Haskell <filename>
  5809 
  5810     evaluating closed propositions to True/False using code generation:
  5811         method ``eval''
  5812 
  5813 Reasonable default setup of framework in HOL.
  5814 
  5815 Theorem attributs for selecting and transforming function equations theorems:
  5816 
  5817     [code fun]:        select a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  5818     [code fun del]:    deselect a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  5819     [code inline]:     select an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  5820     [code inline del]: deselect an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  5821 
  5822 User-defined serializations (target in {SML, OCaml, Haskell}):
  5823 
  5824     code_const <and-list of constants (term syntax)>
  5825       {(target) <and-list of const target syntax>}+
  5826 
  5827     code_type <and-list of type constructors>
  5828       {(target) <and-list of type target syntax>}+
  5829 
  5830     code_instance <and-list of instances>
  5831       {(target)}+
  5832         where instance ::= <type constructor> :: <class>
  5833 
  5834     code_class <and_list of classes>
  5835       {(target) <and-list of class target syntax>}+
  5836         where class target syntax ::= <class name> {where {<classop> == <target syntax>}+}?
  5837 
  5838 code_instance and code_class only are effective to target Haskell.
  5839 
  5840 For example usage see src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator.thy and
  5841 src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator_Pretty.thy.  A separate tutorial on code
  5842 generation from Isabelle/HOL theories is available via "isatool doc
  5843 codegen".
  5844 
  5845 * Code generator: consts in 'consts_code' Isar commands are now
  5846 referred to by usual term syntax (including optional type
  5847 annotations).
  5848 
  5849 * Command 'no_translations' removes translation rules from theory
  5850 syntax.
  5851 
  5852 * Overloaded definitions are now actually checked for acyclic
  5853 dependencies.  The overloading scheme is slightly more general than
  5854 that of Haskell98, although Isabelle does not demand an exact
  5855 correspondence to type class and instance declarations.
  5856 INCOMPATIBILITY, use ``defs (unchecked overloaded)'' to admit more
  5857 exotic versions of overloading -- at the discretion of the user!
  5858 
  5859 Polymorphic constants are represented via type arguments, i.e. the
  5860 instantiation that matches an instance against the most general
  5861 declaration given in the signature.  For example, with the declaration
  5862 c :: 'a => 'a => 'a, an instance c :: nat => nat => nat is represented
  5863 as c(nat).  Overloading is essentially simultaneous structural
  5864 recursion over such type arguments.  Incomplete specification patterns
  5865 impose global constraints on all occurrences, e.g. c('a * 'a) on the
  5866 LHS means that more general c('a * 'b) will be disallowed on any RHS.
  5867 Command 'print_theory' outputs the normalized system of recursive
  5868 equations, see section "definitions".
  5869 
  5870 * Configuration options are maintained within the theory or proof
  5871 context (with name and type bool/int/string), providing a very simple
  5872 interface to a poor-man's version of general context data.  Tools may
  5873 declare options in ML (e.g. using Attrib.config_int) and then refer to
  5874 these values using Config.get etc.  Users may change options via an
  5875 associated attribute of the same name.  This form of context
  5876 declaration works particularly well with commands 'declare' or
  5877 'using', for example ``declare [[foo = 42]]''.  Thus it has become
  5878 very easy to avoid global references, which would not observe Isar
  5879 toplevel undo/redo and fail to work with multithreading.
  5880 
  5881 Various global ML references of Pure and HOL have been turned into
  5882 configuration options:
  5883 
  5884   Unify.search_bound		unify_search_bound
  5885   Unify.trace_bound		unify_trace_bound
  5886   Unify.trace_simp		unify_trace_simp
  5887   Unify.trace_types		unify_trace_types
  5888   Simplifier.simp_depth_limit	simp_depth_limit
  5889   Blast.depth_limit		blast_depth_limit
  5890   DatatypeProp.dtK		datatype_distinctness_limit
  5891   fast_arith_neq_limit  	fast_arith_neq_limit
  5892   fast_arith_split_limit	fast_arith_split_limit
  5893 
  5894 * Named collections of theorems may be easily installed as context
  5895 data using the functor NamedThmsFun (see also
  5896 src/Pure/Tools/named_thms.ML).  The user may add or delete facts via
  5897 attributes; there is also a toplevel print command.  This facility is
  5898 just a common case of general context data, which is the preferred way
  5899 for anything more complex than just a list of facts in canonical
  5900 order.
  5901 
  5902 * Isar: command 'declaration' augments a local theory by generic
  5903 declaration functions written in ML.  This enables arbitrary content
  5904 being added to the context, depending on a morphism that tells the
  5905 difference of the original declaration context wrt. the application
  5906 context encountered later on.
  5907 
  5908 * Isar: proper interfaces for simplification procedures.  Command
  5909 'simproc_setup' declares named simprocs (with match patterns, and body
  5910 text in ML).  Attribute "simproc" adds/deletes simprocs in the current
  5911 context.  ML antiquotation @{simproc name} retrieves named simprocs.
  5912 
  5913 * Isar: an extra pair of brackets around attribute declarations
  5914 abbreviates a theorem reference involving an internal dummy fact,
  5915 which will be ignored later --- only the effect of the attribute on
  5916 the background context will persist.  This form of in-place
  5917 declarations is particularly useful with commands like 'declare' and
  5918 'using', for example ``have A using [[simproc a]] by simp''.
  5919 
  5920 * Isar: method "assumption" (and implicit closing of subproofs) now
  5921 takes simple non-atomic goal assumptions into account: after applying
  5922 an assumption as a rule the resulting subgoals are solved by atomic
  5923 assumption steps.  This is particularly useful to finish 'obtain'
  5924 goals, such as "!!x. (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> P x ==> thesis",
  5925 without referring to the original premise "!!x. P x ==> thesis" in the
  5926 Isar proof context.  POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY: method "assumption" is
  5927 more permissive.
  5928 
  5929 * Isar: implicit use of prems from the Isar proof context is
  5930 considered a legacy feature.  Common applications like ``have A .''
  5931 may be replaced by ``have A by fact'' or ``note `A`''.  In general,
  5932 referencing facts explicitly here improves readability and
  5933 maintainability of proof texts.
  5934 
  5935 * Isar: improper proof element 'guess' is like 'obtain', but derives
  5936 the obtained context from the course of reasoning!  For example:
  5937 
  5938   assume "EX x y. A x & B y"   -- "any previous fact"
  5939   then guess x and y by clarify
  5940 
  5941 This technique is potentially adventurous, depending on the facts and
  5942 proof tools being involved here.
  5943 
  5944 * Isar: known facts from the proof context may be specified as literal
  5945 propositions, using ASCII back-quote syntax.  This works wherever
  5946 named facts used to be allowed so far, in proof commands, proof
  5947 methods, attributes etc.  Literal facts are retrieved from the context
  5948 according to unification of type and term parameters.  For example,
  5949 provided that "A" and "A ==> B" and "!!x. P x ==> Q x" are known
  5950 theorems in the current context, then these are valid literal facts:
  5951 `A` and `A ==> B` and `!!x. P x ==> Q x" as well as `P a ==> Q a` etc.
  5952 
  5953 There is also a proof method "fact" which does the same composition
  5954 for explicit goal states, e.g. the following proof texts coincide with
  5955 certain special cases of literal facts:
  5956 
  5957   have "A" by fact                 ==  note `A`
  5958   have "A ==> B" by fact           ==  note `A ==> B`
  5959   have "!!x. P x ==> Q x" by fact  ==  note `!!x. P x ==> Q x`
  5960   have "P a ==> Q a" by fact       ==  note `P a ==> Q a`
  5961 
  5962 * Isar: ":" (colon) is no longer a symbolic identifier character in
  5963 outer syntax.  Thus symbolic identifiers may be used without
  5964 additional white space in declarations like this: ``assume *: A''.
  5965 
  5966 * Isar: 'print_facts' prints all local facts of the current context,
  5967 both named and unnamed ones.
  5968 
  5969 * Isar: 'def' now admits simultaneous definitions, e.g.:
  5970 
  5971   def x == "t" and y == "u"
  5972 
  5973 * Isar: added command 'unfolding', which is structurally similar to
  5974 'using', but affects both the goal state and facts by unfolding given
  5975 rewrite rules.  Thus many occurrences of the 'unfold' method or
  5976 'unfolded' attribute may be replaced by first-class proof text.
  5977 
  5978 * Isar: methods 'unfold' / 'fold', attributes 'unfolded' / 'folded',
  5979 and command 'unfolding' now all support object-level equalities
  5980 (potentially conditional).  The underlying notion of rewrite rule is
  5981 analogous to the 'rule_format' attribute, but *not* that of the
  5982 Simplifier (which is usually more generous).
  5983 
  5984 * Isar: the new attribute [rotated n] (default n = 1) rotates the
  5985 premises of a theorem by n. Useful in conjunction with drule.
  5986 
  5987 * Isar: the goal restriction operator [N] (default N = 1) evaluates a
  5988 method expression within a sandbox consisting of the first N
  5989 sub-goals, which need to exist.  For example, ``simp_all [3]''
  5990 simplifies the first three sub-goals, while (rule foo, simp_all)[]
  5991 simplifies all new goals that emerge from applying rule foo to the
  5992 originally first one.
  5993 
  5994 * Isar: schematic goals are no longer restricted to higher-order
  5995 patterns; e.g. ``lemma "?P(?x)" by (rule TrueI)'' now works as
  5996 expected.
  5997 
  5998 * Isar: the conclusion of a long theorem statement is now either
  5999 'shows' (a simultaneous conjunction, as before), or 'obtains'
  6000 (essentially a disjunction of cases with local parameters and
  6001 assumptions).  The latter allows to express general elimination rules
  6002 adequately; in this notation common elimination rules look like this:
  6003 
  6004   lemma exE:    -- "EX x. P x ==> (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6005     assumes "EX x. P x"
  6006     obtains x where "P x"
  6007 
  6008   lemma conjE:  -- "A & B ==> (A ==> B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6009     assumes "A & B"
  6010     obtains A and B
  6011 
  6012   lemma disjE:  -- "A | B ==> (A ==> thesis) ==> (B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6013     assumes "A | B"
  6014     obtains
  6015       A
  6016     | B
  6017 
  6018 The subsequent classical rules even refer to the formal "thesis"
  6019 explicitly:
  6020 
  6021   lemma classical:     -- "(~ thesis ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6022     obtains "~ thesis"
  6023 
  6024   lemma Peirce's_Law:  -- "((thesis ==> something) ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6025     obtains "thesis ==> something"
  6026 
  6027 The actual proof of an 'obtains' statement is analogous to that of the
  6028 Isar proof element 'obtain', only that there may be several cases.
  6029 Optional case names may be specified in parentheses; these will be
  6030 available both in the present proof and as annotations in the
  6031 resulting rule, for later use with the 'cases' method (cf. attribute
  6032 case_names).
  6033 
  6034 * Isar: the assumptions of a long theorem statement are available as
  6035 "assms" fact in the proof context.  This is more appropriate than the
  6036 (historical) "prems", which refers to all assumptions of the current
  6037 context, including those from the target locale, proof body etc.
  6038 
  6039 * Isar: 'print_statement' prints theorems from the current theory or
  6040 proof context in long statement form, according to the syntax of a
  6041 top-level lemma.
  6042 
  6043 * Isar: 'obtain' takes an optional case name for the local context
  6044 introduction rule (default "that").
  6045 
  6046 * Isar: removed obsolete 'concl is' patterns.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  6047 explicit (is "_ ==> ?foo") in the rare cases where this still happens
  6048 to occur.
  6049 
  6050 * Pure: syntax "CONST name" produces a fully internalized constant
  6051 according to the current context.  This is particularly useful for
  6052 syntax translations that should refer to internal constant
  6053 representations independently of name spaces.
  6054 
  6055 * Pure: syntax constant for foo (binder "FOO ") is called "foo_binder"
  6056 instead of "FOO ". This allows multiple binder declarations to coexist
  6057 in the same context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6058 
  6059 * Isar/locales: 'notation' provides a robust interface to the 'syntax'
  6060 primitive that also works in a locale context (both for constants and
  6061 fixed variables). Type declaration and internal syntactic representation
  6062 of given constants retrieved from the context. Likewise, the
  6063 'no_notation' command allows to remove given syntax annotations from the
  6064 current context.
  6065 
  6066 * Isar/locales: new derived specification elements 'axiomatization',
  6067 'definition', 'abbreviation', which support type-inference, admit
  6068 object-level specifications (equality, equivalence).  See also the
  6069 isar-ref manual.  Examples:
  6070 
  6071   axiomatization
  6072     eq  (infix "===" 50) where
  6073     eq_refl: "x === x" and eq_subst: "x === y ==> P x ==> P y"
  6074 
  6075   definition "f x y = x + y + 1"
  6076   definition g where "g x = f x x"
  6077 
  6078   abbreviation
  6079     neq  (infix "=!=" 50) where
  6080     "x =!= y == ~ (x === y)"
  6081 
  6082 These specifications may be also used in a locale context.  Then the
  6083 constants being introduced depend on certain fixed parameters, and the
  6084 constant name is qualified by the locale base name.  An internal
  6085 abbreviation takes care for convenient input and output, making the
  6086 parameters implicit and using the original short name.  See also
  6087 src/HOL/ex/Abstract_NAT.thy for an example of deriving polymorphic
  6088 entities from a monomorphic theory.
  6089 
  6090 Presently, abbreviations are only available 'in' a target locale, but
  6091 not inherited by general import expressions.  Also note that
  6092 'abbreviation' may be used as a type-safe replacement for 'syntax' +
  6093 'translations' in common applications.  The "no_abbrevs" print mode
  6094 prevents folding of abbreviations in term output.
  6095 
  6096 Concrete syntax is attached to specified constants in internal form,
  6097 independently of name spaces.  The parse tree representation is
  6098 slightly different -- use 'notation' instead of raw 'syntax', and
  6099 'translations' with explicit "CONST" markup to accommodate this.
  6100 
  6101 * Pure/Isar: unified syntax for new-style specification mechanisms
  6102 (e.g.  'definition', 'abbreviation', or 'inductive' in HOL) admits
  6103 full type inference and dummy patterns ("_").  For example:
  6104 
  6105   definition "K x _ = x"
  6106 
  6107   inductive conj for A B
  6108   where "A ==> B ==> conj A B"
  6109 
  6110 * Pure: command 'print_abbrevs' prints all constant abbreviations of
  6111 the current context.  Print mode "no_abbrevs" prevents inversion of
  6112 abbreviations on output.
  6113 
  6114 * Isar/locales: improved parameter handling: use of locales "var" and
  6115 "struct" no longer necessary; - parameter renamings are no longer
  6116 required to be injective.  For example, this allows to define
  6117 endomorphisms as locale endom = homom mult mult h.
  6118 
  6119 * Isar/locales: changed the way locales with predicates are defined.
  6120 Instead of accumulating the specification, the imported expression is
  6121 now an interpretation.  INCOMPATIBILITY: different normal form of
  6122 locale expressions.  In particular, in interpretations of locales with
  6123 predicates, goals repesenting already interpreted fragments are not
  6124 removed automatically.  Use methods `intro_locales' and
  6125 `unfold_locales'; see below.
  6126 
  6127 * Isar/locales: new methods `intro_locales' and `unfold_locales'
  6128 provide backward reasoning on locales predicates.  The methods are
  6129 aware of interpretations and discharge corresponding goals.
  6130 `intro_locales' is less aggressive then `unfold_locales' and does not
  6131 unfold predicates to assumptions.
  6132 
  6133 * Isar/locales: the order in which locale fragments are accumulated
  6134 has changed.  This enables to override declarations from fragments due
  6135 to interpretations -- for example, unwanted simp rules.
  6136 
  6137 * Isar/locales: interpretation in theories and proof contexts has been
  6138 extended.  One may now specify (and prove) equations, which are
  6139 unfolded in interpreted theorems.  This is useful for replacing
  6140 defined concepts (constants depending on locale parameters) by
  6141 concepts already existing in the target context.  Example:
  6142 
  6143   interpretation partial_order ["op <= :: [int, int] => bool"]
  6144     where "partial_order.less (op <=) (x::int) y = (x < y)"
  6145 
  6146 Typically, the constant `partial_order.less' is created by a
  6147 definition specification element in the context of locale
  6148 partial_order.
  6149 
  6150 * Method "induct": improved internal context management to support
  6151 local fixes and defines on-the-fly. Thus explicit meta-level
  6152 connectives !!  and ==> are rarely required anymore in inductive goals
  6153 (using object-logic connectives for this purpose has been long
  6154 obsolete anyway). Common proof patterns are explained in
  6155 src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, see also
  6156 src/HOL/Isar_examples/Puzzle.thy and src/HOL/Lambda for realistic
  6157 examples.
  6158 
  6159 * Method "induct": improved handling of simultaneous goals. Instead of
  6160 introducing object-level conjunction, the statement is now split into
  6161 several conclusions, while the corresponding symbolic cases are nested
  6162 accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY, proofs need to be structured explicitly,
  6163 see src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, for example.
  6164 
  6165 * Method "induct": mutual induction rules are now specified as a list
  6166 of rule sharing the same induction cases. HOL packages usually provide
  6167 foo_bar.inducts for mutually defined items foo and bar (e.g. inductive
  6168 predicates/sets or datatypes). INCOMPATIBILITY, users need to specify
  6169 mutual induction rules differently, i.e. like this:
  6170 
  6171   (induct rule: foo_bar.inducts)
  6172   (induct set: foo bar)
  6173   (induct pred: foo bar)
  6174   (induct type: foo bar)
  6175 
  6176 The ML function ProjectRule.projections turns old-style rules into the
  6177 new format.
  6178 
  6179 * Method "coinduct": dual of induction, see
  6180 src/HOL/Library/Coinductive_List.thy for various examples.
  6181 
  6182 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": the ``(open)'' option is
  6183 considered a legacy feature.
  6184 
  6185 * Attribute "symmetric" produces result with standardized schematic
  6186 variables (index 0).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6187 
  6188 * Simplifier: by default the simplifier trace only shows top level
  6189 rewrites now. That is, trace_simp_depth_limit is set to 1 by
  6190 default. Thus there is less danger of being flooded by the trace. The
  6191 trace indicates where parts have been suppressed.
  6192   
  6193 * Provers/classical: removed obsolete classical version of elim_format
  6194 attribute; classical elim/dest rules are now treated uniformly when
  6195 manipulating the claset.
  6196 
  6197 * Provers/classical: stricter checks to ensure that supplied intro,
  6198 dest and elim rules are well-formed; dest and elim rules must have at
  6199 least one premise.
  6200 
  6201 * Provers/classical: attributes dest/elim/intro take an optional
  6202 weight argument for the rule (just as the Pure versions).  Weights are
  6203 ignored by automated tools, but determine the search order of single
  6204 rule steps.
  6205 
  6206 * Syntax: input syntax now supports dummy variable binding "%_. b",
  6207 where the body does not mention the bound variable.  Note that dummy
  6208 patterns implicitly depend on their context of bounds, which makes
  6209 "{_. _}" match any set comprehension as expected.  Potential
  6210 INCOMPATIBILITY -- parse translations need to cope with syntactic
  6211 constant "_idtdummy" in the binding position.
  6212 
  6213 * Syntax: removed obsolete syntactic constant "_K" and its associated
  6214 parse translation.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- use dummy abstraction instead,
  6215 for example "A -> B" => "Pi A (%_. B)".
  6216 
  6217 * Pure: 'class_deps' command visualizes the subclass relation, using
  6218 the graph browser tool.
  6219 
  6220 * Pure: 'print_theory' now suppresses certain internal declarations by
  6221 default; use '!' option for full details.
  6222 
  6223 
  6224 *** HOL ***
  6225 
  6226 * Method "metis" proves goals by applying the Metis general-purpose
  6227 resolution prover (see also http://gilith.com/software/metis/).
  6228 Examples are in the directory MetisExamples.  WARNING: the
  6229 Isabelle/HOL-Metis integration does not yet work properly with
  6230 multi-threading.
  6231   
  6232 * Command 'sledgehammer' invokes external automatic theorem provers as
  6233 background processes.  It generates calls to the "metis" method if
  6234 successful. These can be pasted into the proof.  Users do not have to
  6235 wait for the automatic provers to return.  WARNING: does not really
  6236 work with multi-threading.
  6237 
  6238 * New "auto_quickcheck" feature tests outermost goal statements for
  6239 potential counter-examples.  Controlled by ML references
  6240 auto_quickcheck (default true) and auto_quickcheck_time_limit (default
  6241 5000 milliseconds).  Fails silently if statements is outside of
  6242 executable fragment, or any other codgenerator problem occurs.
  6243 
  6244 * New constant "undefined" with axiom "undefined x = undefined".
  6245 
  6246 * Added class "HOL.eq", allowing for code generation with polymorphic
  6247 equality.
  6248 
  6249 * Some renaming of class constants due to canonical name prefixing in
  6250 the new 'class' package:
  6251 
  6252     HOL.abs ~> HOL.abs_class.abs
  6253     HOL.divide ~> HOL.divide_class.divide
  6254     0 ~> HOL.zero_class.zero

  6271     Divides.op dvd ~> Divides.div_class.dvd
  6272 
  6273 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Adaptions may be required in the following cases:
  6274 
  6275 a) User-defined constants using any of the names "plus", "minus",
  6276 "times", "less" or "less_eq". The standard syntax translations for
  6277 "+", "-" and "*" may go wrong.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific
  6278 names.
  6279 
  6280 b) Variables named "plus", "minus", "times", "less", "less_eq"
  6281 INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific names.
  6282 
  6283 c) Permutative equations (e.g. "a + b = b + a")
  6284 Since the change of names also changes the order of terms, permutative
  6285 rewrite rules may get applied in a different order. Experience shows
  6286 that this is rarely the case (only two adaptions in the whole Isabelle
  6287 distribution).  INCOMPATIBILITY: rewrite proofs
  6288 
  6289 d) ML code directly refering to constant names
  6290 This in general only affects hand-written proof tactics, simprocs and
  6291 so on.  INCOMPATIBILITY: grep your sourcecode and replace names.
  6292 Consider using @{const_name} antiquotation.
  6293 
  6294 * New class "default" with associated constant "default".
  6295 
  6296 * Function "sgn" is now overloaded and available on int, real, complex
  6297 (and other numeric types), using class "sgn".  Two possible defs of
  6298 sgn are given as equational assumptions in the classes sgn_if and
  6299 sgn_div_norm; ordered_idom now also inherits from sgn_if.
  6300 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6301 
  6302 * Locale "partial_order" now unified with class "order" (cf. theory
  6303 Orderings), added parameter "less".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6304 
  6305 * Renamings in classes "order" and "linorder": facts "refl", "trans" and
  6306 "cases" to "order_refl", "order_trans" and "linorder_cases", to avoid
  6307 clashes with HOL "refl" and "trans".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6308 
  6309 * Classes "order" and "linorder": potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to
  6310 changed order of proof goals in instance proofs.
  6311 
  6312 * The transitivity reasoner for partial and linear orders is set up
  6313 for classes "order" and "linorder".  Instances of the reasoner are available
  6314 in all contexts importing or interpreting the corresponding locales.
  6315 Method "order" invokes the reasoner separately; the reasoner
  6316 is also integrated with the Simplifier as a solver.  Diagnostic
  6317 command 'print_orders' shows the available instances of the reasoner
  6318 in the current context.
  6319 
  6320 * Localized monotonicity predicate in theory "Orderings"; integrated
  6321 lemmas max_of_mono and min_of_mono with this predicate.
  6322 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6323 
  6324 * Formulation of theorem "dense" changed slightly due to integration
  6325 with new class dense_linear_order.
  6326 
  6327 * Uniform lattice theory development in HOL.
  6328 
  6329     constants "meet" and "join" now named "inf" and "sup"
  6330     constant "Meet" now named "Inf"
  6331 
  6332     classes "meet_semilorder" and "join_semilorder" now named
  6333       "lower_semilattice" and "upper_semilattice"
  6334     class "lorder" now named "lattice"
  6335     class "comp_lat" now named "complete_lattice"
  6336 
  6337     Instantiation of lattice classes allows explicit definitions
  6338     for "inf" and "sup" operations (or "Inf" and "Sup" for complete lattices).
  6339

  6442 
  6443 * Added syntactic class "size"; overloaded constant "size" now has
  6444 type "'a::size ==> bool"
  6445 
  6446 * Internal reorganisation of `size' of datatypes: size theorems
  6447 "foo.size" are no longer subsumed by "foo.simps" (but are still
  6448 simplification rules by default!); theorems "prod.size" now named
  6449 "*.size".
  6450 
  6451 * Class "div" now inherits from class "times" rather than "type".
  6452 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6453 
  6454 * HOL/Finite_Set: "name-space" locales Lattice, Distrib_lattice,
  6455 Linorder etc.  have disappeared; operations defined in terms of
  6456 fold_set now are named Inf_fin, Sup_fin.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6457 
  6458 * HOL/Nat: neq0_conv no longer declared as iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6459 
  6460 * HOL-Word: New extensive library and type for generic, fixed size
  6461 machine words, with arithmetic, bit-wise, shifting and rotating
  6462 operations, reflection into int, nat, and bool lists, automation for
  6463 linear arithmetic (by automatic reflection into nat or int), including
  6464 lemmas on overflow and monotonicity.  Instantiated to all appropriate
  6465 arithmetic type classes, supporting automatic simplification of
  6466 numerals on all operations.
  6467 
  6468 * Library/Boolean_Algebra: locales for abstract boolean algebras.
  6469 
  6470 * Library/Numeral_Type: numbers as types, e.g. TYPE(32).
  6471 
  6472 * Code generator library theories:
  6473   - Code_Integer represents HOL integers by big integer literals in target
  6474     languages.
  6475   - Code_Char represents HOL characters by character literals in target
  6476     languages.
  6477   - Code_Char_chr like Code_Char, but also offers treatment of character
  6478     codes; includes Code_Integer.
  6479   - Executable_Set allows to generate code for finite sets using lists.
  6480   - Executable_Rat implements rational numbers as triples (sign, enumerator,
  6481     denominator).
  6482   - Executable_Real implements a subset of real numbers, namly those
  6483     representable by rational numbers.
  6484   - Efficient_Nat implements natural numbers by integers, which in general will
  6485     result in higher efficency; pattern matching with 0/Suc is eliminated;
  6486     includes Code_Integer.
  6487   - Code_Index provides an additional datatype index which is mapped to
  6488     target-language built-in integers.
  6489   - Code_Message provides an additional datatype message_string which is isomorphic to
  6490     strings; messages are mapped to target-language strings.
  6491 
  6492 * New package for inductive predicates
  6493 
  6494   An n-ary predicate p with m parameters z_1, ..., z_m can now be defined via
  6495 
  6496     inductive
  6497       p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6498       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6499     where
  6500       rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  6501     | ...
  6502 
  6503   with full support for type-inference, rather than
  6504 
  6505     consts s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6506 
  6507     abbreviation p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6508     where "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6509 
  6510     inductive "s z_1 ... z_m"
  6511     intros
  6512       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6513       ...
  6514 
  6515   For backward compatibility, there is a wrapper allowing inductive
  6516   sets to be defined with the new package via
  6517 
  6518     inductive_set
  6519       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6520       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6521     where
  6522       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6523     | ...
  6524 
  6525   or
  6526 
  6527     inductive_set
  6528       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6529       and p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6530       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6531     where
  6532       "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6533     | rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  6534     | ...
  6535 
  6536   if the additional syntax "p ..." is required.
  6537 
  6538   Numerous examples can be found in the subdirectories src/HOL/Auth,
  6539   src/HOL/Bali, src/HOL/Induct, and src/HOL/MicroJava.
  6540 
  6541   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  6542 
  6543   - Since declaration and definition of inductive sets or predicates
  6544     is no longer separated, abbreviations involving the newly
  6545     introduced sets or predicates must be specified together with the
  6546     introduction rules after the 'where' keyword (see above), rather
  6547     than before the actual inductive definition.
  6548 
  6549   - The variables in induction and elimination rules are now
  6550     quantified in the order of their occurrence in the introduction
  6551     rules, rather than in alphabetical order. Since this may break
  6552     some proofs, these proofs either have to be repaired, e.g. by
  6553     reordering the variables a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i} in Isar 'case'
  6554     statements of the form
  6555 
  6556       case (rule_i a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i})
  6557 
  6558     or the old order of quantification has to be restored by explicitly adding
  6559     meta-level quantifiers in the introduction rules, i.e.
  6560 
  6561       | rule_i: "!!a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i}. ... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_i_1 ... t_i_n"
  6562 
  6563   - The format of the elimination rules is now
  6564 
  6565       p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n ==>
  6566         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  6567         ==> ... ==> P
  6568 
  6569     for predicates and
  6570 
  6571       (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  6572         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  6573         ==> ... ==> P
  6574 
  6575     for sets rather than
  6576 
  6577       x : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  6578         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x = (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) ==> ... ==> P)
  6579         ==> ... ==> P
  6580 
  6581     This may require terms in goals to be expanded to n-tuples
  6582     (e.g. using case_tac or simplification with the split_paired_all
  6583     rule) before the above elimination rule is applicable.
  6584 
  6585   - The elimination or case analysis rules for (mutually) inductive
  6586     sets or predicates are now called "p_1.cases" ... "p_k.cases". The
  6587     list of rules "p_1_..._p_k.elims" is no longer available.
  6588 
  6589 * New package "function"/"fun" for general recursive functions,
  6590 supporting mutual and nested recursion, definitions in local contexts,
  6591 more general pattern matching and partiality. See HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy
  6592 for small examples, and the separate tutorial on the function
  6593 package. The old recdef "package" is still available as before, but
  6594 users are encouraged to use the new package.
  6595 
  6596 * Method "lexicographic_order" automatically synthesizes termination
  6597 relations as lexicographic combinations of size measures. 
  6598 
  6599 * Case-expressions allow arbitrary constructor-patterns (including
  6600 "_") and take their order into account, like in functional
  6601 programming.  Internally, this is translated into nested
  6602 case-expressions; missing cases are added and mapped to the predefined
  6603 constant "undefined". In complicated cases printing may no longer show
  6604 the original input but the internal form. Lambda-abstractions allow
  6605 the same form of pattern matching: "% pat1 => e1 | ..." is an
  6606 abbreviation for "%x. case x of pat1 => e1 | ..." where x is a new
  6607 variable.
  6608 
  6609 * IntDef: The constant "int :: nat => int" has been removed; now "int"
  6610 is an abbreviation for "of_nat :: nat => int". The simplification
  6611 rules for "of_nat" have been changed to work like "int" did
  6612 previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6613   - "of_nat (Suc m)" simplifies to "1 + of_nat m" instead of "of_nat m + 1"
  6614   - of_nat_diff and of_nat_mult are no longer default simp rules
  6615 
  6616 * Method "algebra" solves polynomial equations over (semi)rings using
  6617 Groebner bases. The (semi)ring structure is defined by locales and the
  6618 tool setup depends on that generic context. Installing the method for
  6619 a specific type involves instantiating the locale and possibly adding
  6620 declarations for computation on the coefficients.  The method is
  6621 already instantiated for natural numbers and for the axiomatic class
  6622 of idoms with numerals.  See also the paper by Chaieb and Wenzel at
  6623 CALCULEMUS 2007 for the general principles underlying this
  6624 architecture of context-aware proof-tools.
  6625 
  6626 * Method "ferrack" implements quantifier elimination over
  6627 special-purpose dense linear orders using locales (analogous to
  6628 "algebra"). The method is already installed for class
  6629 {ordered_field,recpower,number_ring} which subsumes real, hyperreal,
  6630 rat, etc.
  6631 
  6632 * Former constant "List.op @" now named "List.append".  Use ML
  6633 antiquotations @{const_name List.append} or @{term " ... @ ... "} to
  6634 circumvent possible incompatibilities when working on ML level.
  6635 
  6636 * primrec: missing cases mapped to "undefined" instead of "arbitrary".
  6637 
  6638 * New function listsum :: 'a list => 'a for arbitrary monoids.
  6639 Special syntax: "SUM x <- xs. f x" (and latex variants)
  6640 
  6641 * New syntax for Haskell-like list comprehension (input only), eg.
  6642 [(x,y). x <- xs, y <- ys, x ~= y], see also src/HOL/List.thy.
  6643 
  6644 * The special syntax for function "filter" has changed from [x :
  6645 xs. P] to [x <- xs. P] to avoid an ambiguity caused by list
  6646 comprehension syntax, and for uniformity.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6647 
  6648 * [a..b] is now defined for arbitrary linear orders.  It used to be
  6649 defined on nat only, as an abbreviation for [a..<Suc b]
  6650 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6651 
  6652 * Renamed lemma "set_take_whileD"  to "set_takeWhileD".
  6653 
  6654 * New functions "sorted" and "sort" in src/HOL/List.thy.
  6655 
  6656 * New lemma collection field_simps (an extension of ring_simps) for
  6657 manipulating (in)equations involving division. Multiplies with all
  6658 denominators that can be proved to be non-zero (in equations) or
  6659 positive/negative (in inequations).
  6660 
  6661 * Lemma collections ring_eq_simps, group_eq_simps and ring_distrib
  6662 have been improved and renamed to ring_simps, group_simps and
  6663 ring_distribs.  Removed lemmas field_xyz in theory Ring_and_Field
  6664 because they were subsumed by lemmas xyz.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6665 
  6666 * Theory Library/Commutative_Ring: switched from recdef to function
  6667 package; constants add, mul, pow now curried.  Infix syntax for
  6668 algebraic operations.
  6669 
  6670 * Dropped redundant lemma def_imp_eq in favor of meta_eq_to_obj_eq.
  6671 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6672 
  6673 * Dropped redundant lemma if_def2 in favor of if_bool_eq_conj.
  6674 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6675 
  6676 * HOL/records: generalised field-update to take a function on the
  6677 field rather than the new value: r(|A := x|) is translated to A_update
  6678 (K x) r The K-combinator that is internally used is called K_record.
  6679 INCOMPATIBILITY: Usage of the plain update functions has to be
  6680 adapted.
  6681  
  6682 * Class "semiring_0" now contains annihilation axioms x * 0 = 0 and 0
  6683 * x = 0, which are required for a semiring.  Richer structures do not
  6684 inherit from semiring_0 anymore, because this property is a theorem
  6685 there, not an axiom.  INCOMPATIBILITY: In instances of semiring_0,
  6686 there is more to prove, but this is mostly trivial.
  6687 
  6688 * Class "recpower" is generalized to arbitrary monoids, not just
  6689 commutative semirings.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to incorporate
  6690 commutativity or semiring properties additionally.
  6691 
  6692 * Constant "List.list_all2" in List.thy now uses authentic syntax.
  6693 INCOMPATIBILITY: translations containing list_all2 may go wrong,
  6694 better use 'abbreviation'.
  6695 
  6696 * Renamed constant "List.op mem" to "List.member".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6697 
  6698 * Numeral syntax: type 'bin' which was a mere type copy of 'int' has
  6699 been abandoned in favour of plain 'int'.  INCOMPATIBILITY --
  6700 significant changes for setting up numeral syntax for types:
  6701   - New constants Numeral.pred and Numeral.succ instead
  6702       of former Numeral.bin_pred and Numeral.bin_succ.
  6703   - Use integer operations instead of bin_add, bin_mult and so on.
  6704   - Numeral simplification theorems named Numeral.numeral_simps instead of Bin_simps.
  6705   - ML structure Bin_Simprocs now named Int_Numeral_Base_Simprocs.
  6706 
  6707 See src/HOL/Integ/IntArith.thy for an example setup.
  6708 
  6709 * Command 'normal_form' computes the normal form of a term that may
  6710 contain free variables.  For example ``normal_form "rev [a, b, c]"''
  6711 produces ``[b, c, a]'' (without proof).  This command is suitable for
  6712 heavy-duty computations because the functions are compiled to ML
  6713 first.  Correspondingly, a method "normalization" is provided.  See
  6714 further src/HOL/ex/NormalForm.thy and src/Tools/nbe.ML.
  6715 
  6716 * Alternative iff syntax "A <-> B" for equality on bool (with priority
  6717 25 like -->); output depends on the "iff" print_mode, the default is
  6718 "A = B" (with priority 50).
  6719 
  6720 * Relations less (<) and less_eq (<=) are also available on type bool.
  6721 Modified syntax to disallow nesting without explicit parentheses,
  6722 e.g. "(x < y) < z" or "x < (y < z)", but NOT "x < y < z".  Potential
  6723 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6724 
  6725 * "LEAST x:A. P" expands to "LEAST x. x:A & P" (input only).
  6726 
  6727 * Relation composition operator "op O" now has precedence 75 and binds
  6728 stronger than union and intersection. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6729 
  6730 * The old set interval syntax "{m..n(}" (and relatives) has been
  6731 removed.  Use "{m..<n}" (and relatives) instead.
  6732 
  6733 * In the context of the assumption "~(s = t)" the Simplifier rewrites
  6734 "t = s" to False (by simproc "neq").  INCOMPATIBILITY, consider using
  6735 ``declare [[simproc del: neq]]''.
  6736 
  6737 * Simplifier: "m dvd n" where m and n are numbers is evaluated to
  6738 True/False.
  6739 
  6740 * Theorem Cons_eq_map_conv no longer declared as "simp".
  6741 
  6742 * Theorem setsum_mult renamed to setsum_right_distrib.
  6743 
  6744 * Prefer ex1I over ex_ex1I in single-step reasoning, e.g. by the
  6745 ``rule'' method.
  6746 
  6747 * Reimplemented methods "sat" and "satx", with several improvements:
  6748 goals no longer need to be stated as "<prems> ==> False", equivalences
  6749 (i.e. "=" on type bool) are handled, variable names of the form
  6750 "lit_<n>" are no longer reserved, significant speedup.
  6751 
  6752 * Methods "sat" and "satx" can now replay MiniSat proof traces.
  6753 zChaff is still supported as well.
  6754 
  6755 * 'inductive' and 'datatype': provide projections of mutual rules,
  6756 bundled as foo_bar.inducts;
  6757 
  6758 * Library: moved theories Parity, GCD, Binomial, Infinite_Set to
  6759 Library.
  6760 
  6761 * Library: moved theory Accessible_Part to main HOL.
  6762 
  6763 * Library: added theory Coinductive_List of potentially infinite lists
  6764 as greatest fixed-point.
  6765 
  6766 * Library: added theory AssocList which implements (finite) maps as
  6767 association lists.
  6768 
  6769 * Method "evaluation" solves goals (i.e. a boolean expression)
  6770 efficiently by compiling it to ML.  The goal is "proved" (via an
  6771 oracle) if it evaluates to True.
  6772 
  6773 * Linear arithmetic now splits certain operators (e.g. min, max, abs)
  6774 also when invoked by the simplifier.  This results in the Simplifier
  6775 being more powerful on arithmetic goals.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6776 Configuration option fast_arith_split_limit=0 recovers the old
  6777 behavior.
  6778 
  6779 * Support for hex (0x20) and binary (0b1001) numerals.
  6780 
  6781 * New method: reify eqs (t), where eqs are equations for an
  6782 interpretation I :: 'a list => 'b => 'c and t::'c is an optional
  6783 parameter, computes a term s::'b and a list xs::'a list and proves the
  6784 theorem I xs s = t. This is also known as reification or quoting. The
  6785 resulting theorem is applied to the subgoal to substitute t with I xs
  6786 s.  If t is omitted, the subgoal itself is reified.
  6787 
  6788 * New method: reflection corr_thm eqs (t). The parameters eqs and (t)
  6789 are as explained above. corr_thm is a theorem for I vs (f t) = I vs t,
  6790 where f is supposed to be a computable function (in the sense of code
  6791 generattion). The method uses reify to compute s and xs as above then
  6792 applies corr_thm and uses normalization by evaluation to "prove" f s =
  6793 r and finally gets the theorem t = r, which is again applied to the
  6794 subgoal. An Example is available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy.
  6795 
  6796 * Reflection: Automatic reification now handels binding, an example is
  6797 available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy
  6798 
  6799 * HOL-Statespace: ``State Spaces: The Locale Way'' introduces a
  6800 command 'statespace' that is similar to 'record', but introduces an
  6801 abstract specification based on the locale infrastructure instead of
  6802 HOL types.  This leads to extra flexibility in composing state spaces,
  6803 in particular multiple inheritance and renaming of components.
  6804 
  6805 
  6806 *** HOL-Complex ***
  6807 
  6808 * Hyperreal: Functions root and sqrt are now defined on negative real
  6809 inputs so that root n (- x) = - root n x and sqrt (- x) = - sqrt x.
  6810 Nonnegativity side conditions have been removed from many lemmas, so
  6811 that more subgoals may now be solved by simplification; potential
  6812 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6813 
  6814 * Real: new type classes formalize real normed vector spaces and
  6815 algebras, using new overloaded constants scaleR :: real => 'a => 'a
  6816 and norm :: 'a => real.
  6817 
  6818 * Real: constant of_real :: real => 'a::real_algebra_1 injects from
  6819 reals into other types. The overloaded constant Reals :: 'a set is now
  6820 defined as range of_real; potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6821 
  6822 * Real: proper support for ML code generation, including 'quickcheck'.
  6823 Reals are implemented as arbitrary precision rationals.
  6824 
  6825 * Hyperreal: Several constants that previously worked only for the
  6826 reals have been generalized, so they now work over arbitrary vector
  6827 spaces. Type annotations may need to be added in some cases; potential
  6828 INCOMPATIBILITY.

  6844   exp            :: 'a::{recpower,real_normed_field,banach} => 'a
  6845 
  6846 * Complex: Some complex-specific constants are now abbreviations for
  6847 overloaded ones: complex_of_real = of_real, cmod = norm, hcmod =
  6848 hnorm.  Other constants have been entirely removed in favor of the
  6849 polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  6860 
  6861 
  6862 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  6863 
  6864 * Formalisation of ideals and the quotient construction over rings.
  6865 
  6866 * Order and lattice theory no longer based on records.
  6867 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6868 
  6869 * Renamed lemmas least_carrier -> least_closed and greatest_carrier ->
  6870 greatest_closed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6871 
  6872 * Method algebra is now set up via an attribute.  For examples see
  6873 Ring.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY: the method is now weaker on combinations
  6874 of algebraic structures.
  6875 
  6876 * Renamed theory CRing to Ring.
  6877 
  6878 
  6879 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  6880 
  6881 * Substantial, yet incomplete support for nominal datatypes (binding
  6882 structures) based on HOL-Nominal logic.  See src/HOL/Nominal and
  6883 src/HOL/Nominal/Examples.  Prospective users should consult
  6884 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/nominal/
  6885 
  6886 
  6887 *** ML ***
  6888 
  6889 * ML basics: just one true type int, which coincides with IntInf.int
  6890 (even on SML/NJ).
  6891 
  6892 * ML within Isar: antiquotations allow to embed statically-checked
  6893 formal entities in the source, referring to the context available at
  6894 compile-time.  For example:
  6895 
  6896 ML {* @{sort "{zero,one}"} *}
  6897 ML {* @{typ "'a => 'b"} *}
  6898 ML {* @{term "%x. x"} *}
  6899 ML {* @{prop "x == y"} *}
  6900 ML {* @{ctyp "'a => 'b"} *}
  6901 ML {* @{cterm "%x. x"} *}
  6902 ML {* @{cprop "x == y"} *}
  6903 ML {* @{thm asm_rl} *}
  6904 ML {* @{thms asm_rl} *}
  6905 ML {* @{type_name c} *}
  6906 ML {* @{type_syntax c} *}
  6907 ML {* @{const_name c} *}
  6908 ML {* @{const_syntax c} *}
  6909 ML {* @{context} *}
  6910 ML {* @{theory} *}
  6911 ML {* @{theory Pure} *}
  6912 ML {* @{theory_ref} *}
  6913 ML {* @{theory_ref Pure} *}
  6914 ML {* @{simpset} *}
  6915 ML {* @{claset} *}
  6916 ML {* @{clasimpset} *}
  6917 
  6918 The same works for sources being ``used'' within an Isar context.
  6919 
  6920 * ML in Isar: improved error reporting; extra verbosity with
  6921 ML_Context.trace enabled.
  6922 
  6923 * Pure/General/table.ML: the join operations now works via exceptions
  6924 DUP/SAME instead of type option. This is simpler in simple cases, and
  6925 admits slightly more efficient complex applications.
  6926 
  6927 * Pure: 'advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) now
  6928 use Context.generic instead of just theory.
  6929 
  6930 * Pure: datatype Context.generic joins theory/Proof.context and
  6931 provides some facilities for code that works in either kind of
  6932 context, notably GenericDataFun for uniform theory and proof data.
  6933 
  6934 * Pure: simplified internal attribute type, which is now always
  6935 Context.generic * thm -> Context.generic * thm. Global (theory) vs.
  6936 local (Proof.context) attributes have been discontinued, while
  6937 minimizing code duplication. Thm.rule_attribute and
  6938 Thm.declaration_attribute build canonical attributes; see also structure
  6939 Context for further operations on Context.generic, notably
  6940 GenericDataFun. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt attribute type
  6941 declarations and definitions.
  6942 
  6943 * Context data interfaces (Theory/Proof/GenericDataFun): removed
  6944 name/print, uninitialized data defaults to ad-hoc copy of empty value,
  6945 init only required for impure data. INCOMPATIBILITY: empty really need
  6946 to be empty (no dependencies on theory content!)
  6947 
  6948 * Pure/kernel: consts certification ignores sort constraints given in
  6949 signature declarations. (This information is not relevant to the
  6950 logic, but only for type inference.) SIGNIFICANT INTERNAL CHANGE,
  6951 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6952 
  6953 * Pure: axiomatic type classes are now purely definitional, with
  6954 explicit proofs of class axioms and super class relations performed
  6955 internally. See Pure/axclass.ML for the main internal interfaces --
  6956 notably AxClass.define_class supercedes AxClass.add_axclass, and
  6957 AxClass.axiomatize_class/classrel/arity supersede
  6958 Sign.add_classes/classrel/arities.
  6959 
  6960 * Pure/Isar: Args/Attrib parsers operate on Context.generic --
  6961 global/local versions on theory vs. Proof.context have been
  6962 discontinued; Attrib.syntax and Method.syntax have been adapted
  6963 accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt parser expressions for
  6964 attributes, methods, etc.
  6965 
  6966 * Pure: several functions of signature "... -> theory -> theory * ..."
  6967 have been reoriented to "... -> theory -> ... * theory" in order to
  6968 allow natural usage in combination with the ||>, ||>>, |-> and
  6969 fold_map combinators.
  6970 
  6971 * Pure: official theorem names (closed derivations) and additional
  6972 comments (tags) are now strictly separate.  Name hints -- which are
  6973 maintained as tags -- may be attached any time without affecting the
  6974 derivation.
  6975 
  6976 * Pure: primitive rule lift_rule now takes goal cterm instead of an
  6977 actual goal state (thm).  Use Thm.lift_rule (Thm.cprem_of st i) to
  6978 achieve the old behaviour.
  6979 
  6980 * Pure: the "Goal" constant is now called "prop", supporting a
  6981 slightly more general idea of ``protecting'' meta-level rule
  6982 statements.
  6983 
  6984 * Pure: Logic.(un)varify only works in a global context, which is now
  6985 enforced instead of silently assumed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use
  6986 Logic.legacy_(un)varify as temporary workaround.
  6987 
  6988 * Pure: structure Name provides scalable operations for generating
  6989 internal variable names, notably Name.variants etc.  This replaces
  6990 some popular functions from term.ML:
  6991 
  6992   Term.variant		->  Name.variant
  6993   Term.variantlist	->  Name.variant_list
  6994   Term.invent_names	->  Name.invent_list
  6995 
  6996 Note that low-level renaming rarely occurs in new code -- operations
  6997 from structure Variable are used instead (see below).
  6998 
  6999 * Pure: structure Variable provides fundamental operations for proper
  7000 treatment of fixed/schematic variables in a context.  For example,
  7001 Variable.import introduces fixes for schematics of given facts and
  7002 Variable.export reverses the effect (up to renaming) -- this replaces
  7003 various freeze_thaw operations.
  7004 
  7005 * Pure: structure Goal provides simple interfaces for
  7006 init/conclude/finish and tactical prove operations (replacing former
  7007 Tactic.prove).  Goal.prove is the canonical way to prove results
  7008 within a given context; Goal.prove_global is a degraded version for
  7009 theory level goals, including a global Drule.standard.  Note that
  7010 OldGoals.prove_goalw_cterm has long been obsolete, since it is
  7011 ill-behaved in a local proof context (e.g. with local fixes/assumes or
  7012 in a locale context).
  7013 
  7014 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for parsing (Syntax.parse_term etc.)
  7015 and type checking (Syntax.check_term etc.), with common combinations
  7016 (Syntax.read_term etc.). These supersede former Sign.read_term etc.
  7017 which are considered legacy and await removal.
  7018 
  7019 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for type unchecking
  7020 (Syntax.uncheck_terms etc.) and unparsing (Syntax.unparse_term etc.),
  7021 with common combinations (Syntax.pretty_term, Syntax.string_of_term
  7022 etc.).  Former Sign.pretty_term, Sign.string_of_term etc. are still
  7023 available for convenience, but refer to the very same operations using
  7024 a mere theory instead of a full context.
  7025 
  7026 * Isar: simplified treatment of user-level errors, using exception
  7027 ERROR of string uniformly.  Function error now merely raises ERROR,
  7028 without any side effect on output channels.  The Isar toplevel takes
  7029 care of proper display of ERROR exceptions.  ML code may use plain
  7030 handle/can/try; cat_error may be used to concatenate errors like this:
  7031 
  7032   ... handle ERROR msg => cat_error msg "..."
  7033 
  7034 Toplevel ML code (run directly or through the Isar toplevel) may be
  7035 embedded into the Isar toplevel with exception display/debug like
  7036 this:
  7037 
  7038   Isar.toplevel (fn () => ...)
  7039 
  7040 INCOMPATIBILITY, removed special transform_error facilities, removed
  7041 obsolete variants of user-level exceptions (ERROR_MESSAGE,
  7042 Context.PROOF, ProofContext.CONTEXT, Proof.STATE, ProofHistory.FAIL)
  7043 -- use plain ERROR instead.
  7044 
  7045 * Isar: theory setup now has type (theory -> theory), instead of a
  7046 list.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use #> to compose setup functions.
  7047 
  7048 * Isar: ML toplevel pretty printer for type Proof.context, subject to
  7049 ProofContext.debug/verbose flags.
  7050 
  7051 * Isar: Toplevel.theory_to_proof admits transactions that modify the
  7052 theory before entering a proof state.  Transactions now always see a
  7053 quasi-functional intermediate checkpoint, both in interactive and
  7054 batch mode.
  7055 
  7056 * Isar: simplified interfaces for outer syntax.  Renamed
  7057 OuterSyntax.add_keywords to OuterSyntax.keywords.  Removed
  7058 OuterSyntax.add_parsers -- this functionality is now included in
  7059 OuterSyntax.command etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7060 
  7061 * Simplifier: the simpset of a running simplification process now
  7062 contains a proof context (cf. Simplifier.the_context), which is the
  7063 very context that the initial simpset has been retrieved from (by
  7064 simpset_of/local_simpset_of).  Consequently, all plug-in components
  7065 (solver, looper etc.) may depend on arbitrary proof data.
  7066 
  7067 * Simplifier.inherit_context inherits the proof context (plus the
  7068 local bounds) of the current simplification process; any simproc
  7069 etc. that calls the Simplifier recursively should do this!  Removed
  7070 former Simplifier.inherit_bounds, which is already included here --
  7071 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Tools based on low-level rewriting may even have to
  7072 specify an explicit context using Simplifier.context/theory_context.
  7073 
  7074 * Simplifier/Classical Reasoner: more abstract interfaces
  7075 change_simpset/claset for modifying the simpset/claset reference of a
  7076 theory; raw versions simpset/claset_ref etc. have been discontinued --
  7077 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7078 
  7079 * Provers: more generic wrt. syntax of object-logics, avoid hardwired
  7080 "Trueprop" etc.
  7081 
  7082 
  7083 *** System ***
  7084 
  7085 * settings: the default heap location within ISABELLE_HOME_USER now
  7086 includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER.  This simplifies use of multiple
  7087 Isabelle installations.
  7088 
  7089 * isabelle-process: option -S (secure mode) disables some critical
  7090 operations, notably runtime compilation and evaluation of ML source
  7091 code.
  7092 
  7093 * Basic Isabelle mode for jEdit, see Isabelle/lib/jedit/.
  7094 
  7095 * Support for parallel execution, using native multicore support of
  7096 Poly/ML 5.1.  The theory loader exploits parallelism when processing
  7097 independent theories, according to the given theory header
  7098 specifications. The maximum number of worker threads is specified via
  7099 usedir option -M or the "max-threads" setting in Proof General. A
  7100 speedup factor of 1.5--3.5 can be expected on a 4-core machine, and up
  7101 to 6 on a 8-core machine.  User-code needs to observe certain
  7102 guidelines for thread-safe programming, see appendix A in the Isar
  7103 Implementation manual.
  7104 
  7105 
  7106 
  7107 New in Isabelle2005 (October 2005)
  7108 ----------------------------------
  7109 
  7110 *** General ***
  7111 
  7112 * Theory headers: the new header syntax for Isar theories is
  7113 
  7114   theory <name>
  7115   imports <theory1> ... <theoryN>
  7116   uses <file1> ... <fileM>
  7117   begin
  7118 
  7119 where the 'uses' part is optional.  The previous syntax
  7120 
  7121   theory <name> = <theory1> + ... + <theoryN>:
  7122 
  7123 will disappear in the next release.  Use isatool fixheaders to convert
  7124 existing theory files.  Note that there is no change in ancient
  7125 non-Isar theories now, but these will disappear soon.
  7126 
  7127 * Theory loader: parent theories can now also be referred to via
  7128 relative and absolute paths.
  7129 
  7130 * Command 'find_theorems' searches for a list of criteria instead of a
  7131 list of constants. Known criteria are: intro, elim, dest, name:string,
  7132 simp:term, and any term. Criteria can be preceded by '-' to select
  7133 theorems that do not match. Intro, elim, dest select theorems that
  7134 match the current goal, name:s selects theorems whose fully qualified
  7135 name contain s, and simp:term selects all simplification rules whose
  7136 lhs match term.  Any other term is interpreted as pattern and selects
  7137 all theorems matching the pattern. Available in ProofGeneral under
  7138 'ProofGeneral -> Find Theorems' or C-c C-f.  Example:
  7139 
  7140   C-c C-f (100) "(_::nat) + _ + _" intro -name: "HOL."
  7141 
  7142 prints the last 100 theorems matching the pattern "(_::nat) + _ + _",
  7143 matching the current goal as introduction rule and not having "HOL."
  7144 in their name (i.e. not being defined in theory HOL).
  7145 
  7146 * Command 'thms_containing' has been discontinued in favour of
  7147 'find_theorems'; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7148 
  7149 * Communication with Proof General is now 8bit clean, which means that
  7150 Unicode text in UTF-8 encoding may be used within theory texts (both
  7151 formal and informal parts).  Cf. option -U of the Isabelle Proof
  7152 General interface.  Here are some simple examples (cf. src/HOL/ex):
  7153 
  7154   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Hebrew.html
  7155   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Chinese.html
  7156 
  7157 * Improved efficiency of the Simplifier and, to a lesser degree, the
  7158 Classical Reasoner.  Typical big applications run around 2 times
  7159 faster.
  7160 
  7161 
  7162 *** Document preparation ***
  7163 
  7164 * Commands 'display_drafts' and 'print_drafts' perform simple output
  7165 of raw sources.  Only those symbols that do not require additional
  7166 LaTeX packages (depending on comments in isabellesym.sty) are
  7167 displayed properly, everything else is left verbatim.  isatool display
  7168 and isatool print are used as front ends (these are subject to the
  7169 DVI/PDF_VIEWER and PRINT_COMMAND settings, respectively).
  7170 
  7171 * Command tags control specific markup of certain regions of text,
  7172 notably folding and hiding.  Predefined tags include "theory" (for
  7173 theory begin and end), "proof" for proof commands, and "ML" for
  7174 commands involving ML code; the additional tags "visible" and
  7175 "invisible" are unused by default.  Users may give explicit tag
  7176 specifications in the text, e.g. ''by %invisible (auto)''.  The
  7177 interpretation of tags is determined by the LaTeX job during document
  7178 preparation: see option -V of isatool usedir, or options -n and -t of
  7179 isatool document, or even the LaTeX macros \isakeeptag, \isafoldtag,
  7180 \isadroptag.
  7181 
  7182 Several document versions may be produced at the same time via isatool
  7183 usedir (the generated index.html will link all of them).  Typical
  7184 specifications include ''-V document=theory,proof,ML'' to present
  7185 theory/proof/ML parts faithfully, ''-V outline=/proof,/ML'' to fold
  7186 proof and ML commands, and ''-V mutilated=-theory,-proof,-ML'' to omit
  7187 these parts without any formal replacement text.  The Isabelle site
  7188 default settings produce ''document'' and ''outline'' versions as
  7189 specified above.
  7190 
  7191 * Several new antiquotations:
  7192 
  7193   @{term_type term} prints a term with its type annotated;
  7194 
  7195   @{typeof term} prints the type of a term;
  7196 
  7197   @{const const} is the same as @{term const}, but checks that the
  7198   argument is a known logical constant;
  7199 
  7200   @{term_style style term} and @{thm_style style thm} print a term or
  7201   theorem applying a "style" to it
  7202 
  7203   @{ML text}
  7204 
  7205 Predefined styles are 'lhs' and 'rhs' printing the lhs/rhs of
  7206 definitions, equations, inequations etc., 'concl' printing only the
  7207 conclusion of a meta-logical statement theorem, and 'prem1' .. 'prem19'
  7208 to print the specified premise.  TermStyle.add_style provides an ML
  7209 interface for introducing further styles.  See also the "LaTeX Sugar"
  7210 document practical applications.  The ML antiquotation prints
  7211 type-checked ML expressions verbatim.
  7212 
  7213 * Markup commands 'chapter', 'section', 'subsection', 'subsubsection',
  7214 and 'text' support optional locale specification '(in loc)', which
  7215 specifies the default context for interpreting antiquotations.  For
  7216 example: 'text (in lattice) {* @{thm inf_assoc}*}'.
  7217 
  7218 * Option 'locale=NAME' of antiquotations specifies an alternative
  7219 context interpreting the subsequent argument.  For example: @{thm
  7220 [locale=lattice] inf_assoc}.
  7221 
  7222 * Proper output of proof terms (@{prf ...} and @{full_prf ...}) within
  7223 a proof context.
  7224 
  7225 * Proper output of antiquotations for theory commands involving a
  7226 proof context (such as 'locale' or 'theorem (in loc) ...').
  7227 
  7228 * Delimiters of outer tokens (string etc.) now produce separate LaTeX
  7229 macros (\isachardoublequoteopen, isachardoublequoteclose etc.).
  7230 
  7231 * isatool usedir: new option -C (default true) controls whether option
  7232 -D should include a copy of the original document directory; -C false
  7233 prevents unwanted effects such as copying of administrative CVS data.
  7234 
  7235 
  7236 *** Pure ***
  7237 
  7238 * Considerably improved version of 'constdefs' command.  Now performs
  7239 automatic type-inference of declared constants; additional support for
  7240 local structure declarations (cf. locales and HOL records), see also
  7241 isar-ref manual.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to observe strictly
  7242 sequential dependencies of definitions within a single 'constdefs'
  7243 section; moreover, the declared name needs to be an identifier.  If
  7244 all fails, consider to fall back on 'consts' and 'defs' separately.
  7245 
  7246 * Improved indexed syntax and implicit structures.  First of all,
  7247 indexed syntax provides a notational device for subscripted
  7248 application, using the new syntax \<^bsub>term\<^esub> for arbitrary
  7249 expressions.  Secondly, in a local context with structure
  7250 declarations, number indexes \<^sub>n or the empty index (default
  7251 number 1) refer to a certain fixed variable implicitly; option
  7252 show_structs controls printing of implicit structures.  Typical
  7253 applications of these concepts involve record types and locales.
  7254 
  7255 * New command 'no_syntax' removes grammar declarations (and
  7256 translations) resulting from the given syntax specification, which is
  7257 interpreted in the same manner as for the 'syntax' command.
  7258 
  7259 * 'Advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) may depend
  7260 on the signature of the theory context being presently used for
  7261 parsing/printing, see also isar-ref manual.
  7262 
  7263 * Improved 'oracle' command provides a type-safe interface to turn an
  7264 ML expression of type theory -> T -> term into a primitive rule of
  7265 type theory -> T -> thm (i.e. the functionality of Thm.invoke_oracle
  7266 is already included here); see also FOL/ex/IffExample.thy;
  7267 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7268 
  7269 * axclass: name space prefix for class "c" is now "c_class" (was "c"
  7270 before); "cI" is no longer bound, use "c.intro" instead.
  7271 INCOMPATIBILITY.  This change avoids clashes of fact bindings for
  7272 axclasses vs. locales.
  7273 
  7274 * Improved internal renaming of symbolic identifiers -- attach primes
  7275 instead of base 26 numbers.
  7276 
  7277 * New flag show_question_marks controls printing of leading question
  7278 marks in schematic variable names.
  7279 
  7280 * In schematic variable names, *any* symbol following \<^isub> or
  7281 \<^isup> is now treated as part of the base name.  For example, the
  7282 following works without printing of awkward ".0" indexes:
  7283 
  7284   lemma "x\<^isub>1 = x\<^isub>2 ==> x\<^isub>2 = x\<^isub>1"
  7285     by simp
  7286 
  7287 * Inner syntax includes (*(*nested*) comments*).
  7288 
  7289 * Pretty printer now supports unbreakable blocks, specified in mixfix
  7290 annotations as "(00...)".
  7291 
  7292 * Clear separation of logical types and nonterminals, where the latter
  7293 may only occur in 'syntax' specifications or type abbreviations.
  7294 Before that distinction was only partially implemented via type class
  7295 "logic" vs. "{}".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare cases of improper
  7296 use of 'types'/'consts' instead of 'nonterminals'/'syntax'.  Some very
  7297 exotic syntax specifications may require further adaption
  7298 (e.g. Cube/Cube.thy).
  7299 
  7300 * Removed obsolete type class "logic", use the top sort {} instead.
  7301 Note that non-logical types should be declared as 'nonterminals'
  7302 rather than 'types'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for new object-logic
  7303 specifications.
  7304 
  7305 * Attributes 'induct' and 'cases': type or set names may now be
  7306 locally fixed variables as well.
  7307 
  7308 * Simplifier: can now control the depth to which conditional rewriting
  7309 is traced via the PG menu Isabelle -> Settings -> Trace Simp Depth
  7310 Limit.
  7311 
  7312 * Simplifier: simplification procedures may now take the current
  7313 simpset into account (cf. Simplifier.simproc(_i) / mk_simproc
  7314 interface), which is very useful for calling the Simplifier
  7315 recursively.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: the 'prems' argument of simprocs
  7316 is gone -- use prems_of_ss on the simpset instead.  Moreover, the
  7317 low-level mk_simproc no longer applies Logic.varify internally, to
  7318 allow for use in a context of fixed variables.
  7319 
  7320 * thin_tac now works even if the assumption being deleted contains !!
  7321 or ==>.  More generally, erule now works even if the major premise of
  7322 the elimination rule contains !! or ==>.
  7323 
  7324 * Method 'rules' has been renamed to 'iprover'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7325 
  7326 * Reorganized bootstrapping of the Pure theories; CPure is now derived
  7327 from Pure, which contains all common declarations already.  Both
  7328 theories are defined via plain Isabelle/Isar .thy files.
  7329 INCOMPATIBILITY: elements of CPure (such as the CPure.intro /
  7330 CPure.elim / CPure.dest attributes) now appear in the Pure name space;
  7331 use isatool fixcpure to adapt your theory and ML sources.
  7332 
  7333 * New syntax 'name(i-j, i-, i, ...)' for referring to specific
  7334 selections of theorems in named facts via index ranges.
  7335 
  7336 * 'print_theorems': in theory mode, really print the difference
  7337 wrt. the last state (works for interactive theory development only),
  7338 in proof mode print all local facts (cf. 'print_facts');
  7339 
  7340 * 'hide': option '(open)' hides only base names.
  7341 
  7342 * More efficient treatment of intermediate checkpoints in interactive
  7343 theory development.
  7344 
  7345 * Code generator is now invoked via code_module (incremental code
  7346 generation) and code_library (modular code generation, ML structures
  7347 for each theory).  INCOMPATIBILITY: new keywords 'file' and 'contains'
  7348 must be quoted when used as identifiers.
  7349 
  7350 * New 'value' command for reading, evaluating and printing terms using
  7351 the code generator.  INCOMPATIBILITY: command keyword 'value' must be
  7352 quoted when used as identifier.
  7353 
  7354 
  7355 *** Locales ***
  7356 
  7357 * New commands for the interpretation of locale expressions in
  7358 theories (1), locales (2) and proof contexts (3).  These generate
  7359 proof obligations from the expression specification.  After the
  7360 obligations have been discharged, theorems of the expression are added
  7361 to the theory, target locale or proof context.  The synopsis of the
  7362 commands is a follows:
  7363 
  7364   (1) interpretation expr inst
  7365   (2) interpretation target < expr
  7366   (3) interpret expr inst
  7367 
  7368 Interpretation in theories and proof contexts require a parameter
  7369 instantiation of terms from the current context.  This is applied to
  7370 specifications and theorems of the interpreted expression.
  7371 Interpretation in locales only permits parameter renaming through the
  7372 locale expression.  Interpretation is smart in that interpretations
  7373 that are active already do not occur in proof obligations, neither are
  7374 instantiated theorems stored in duplicate.  Use 'print_interps' to
  7375 inspect active interpretations of a particular locale.  For details,
  7376 see the Isar Reference manual.  Examples can be found in
  7377 HOL/Finite_Set.thy and HOL/Algebra/UnivPoly.thy.
  7378 
  7379 INCOMPATIBILITY: former 'instantiate' has been withdrawn, use
  7380 'interpret' instead.
  7381 
  7382 * New context element 'constrains' for adding type constraints to
  7383 parameters.
  7384 
  7385 * Context expressions: renaming of parameters with syntax
  7386 redeclaration.
  7387 
  7388 * Locale declaration: 'includes' disallowed.
  7389 
  7390 * Proper static binding of attribute syntax -- i.e. types / terms /
  7391 facts mentioned as arguments are always those of the locale definition
  7392 context, independently of the context of later invocations.  Moreover,
  7393 locale operations (renaming and type / term instantiation) are applied
  7394 to attribute arguments as expected.
  7395 
  7396 INCOMPATIBILITY of the ML interface: always pass Attrib.src instead of
  7397 actual attributes; rare situations may require Attrib.attribute to
  7398 embed those attributes into Attrib.src that lack concrete syntax.
  7399 Attribute implementations need to cooperate properly with the static
  7400 binding mechanism.  Basic parsers Args.XXX_typ/term/prop and
  7401 Attrib.XXX_thm etc. already do the right thing without further
  7402 intervention.  Only unusual applications -- such as "where" or "of"
  7403 (cf. src/Pure/Isar/attrib.ML), which process arguments depending both
  7404 on the context and the facts involved -- may have to assign parsed
  7405 values to argument tokens explicitly.
  7406 
  7407 * Changed parameter management in theorem generation for long goal
  7408 statements with 'includes'.  INCOMPATIBILITY: produces a different
  7409 theorem statement in rare situations.
  7410 
  7411 * Locale inspection command 'print_locale' omits notes elements.  Use
  7412 'print_locale!' to have them included in the output.
  7413 
  7414 
  7415 *** Provers ***
  7416 
  7417 * Provers/hypsubst.ML: improved version of the subst method, for
  7418 single-step rewriting: it now works in bound variable contexts. New is
  7419 'subst (asm)', for rewriting an assumption.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may
  7420 rewrite a different subterm than the original subst method, which is
  7421 still available as 'simplesubst'.
  7422 
  7423 * Provers/quasi.ML: new transitivity reasoners for transitivity only
  7424 and quasi orders.
  7425 
  7426 * Provers/trancl.ML: new transitivity reasoner for transitive and
  7427 reflexive-transitive closure of relations.
  7428 
  7429 * Provers/blast.ML: new reference depth_limit to make blast's depth
  7430 limit (previously hard-coded with a value of 20) user-definable.
  7431 
  7432 * Provers/simplifier.ML has been moved to Pure, where Simplifier.setup
  7433 is peformed already.  Object-logics merely need to finish their
  7434 initial simpset configuration as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7435 
  7436 
  7437 *** HOL ***
  7438 
  7439 * Symbolic syntax of Hilbert Choice Operator is now as follows:
  7440 
  7441   syntax (epsilon)
  7442     "_Eps" :: "[pttrn, bool] => 'a"    ("(3\<some>_./ _)" [0, 10] 10)
  7443 
  7444 The symbol \<some> is displayed as the alternative epsilon of LaTeX
  7445 and x-symbol; use option '-m epsilon' to get it actually printed.
  7446 Moreover, the mathematically important symbolic identifier \<epsilon>
  7447 becomes available as variable, constant etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  7448 
  7449 * "x > y" abbreviates "y < x" and "x >= y" abbreviates "y <= x".
  7450 Similarly for all quantifiers: "ALL x > y" etc.  The x-symbol for >=
  7451 is \<ge>. New transitivity rules have been added to HOL/Orderings.thy to
  7452 support corresponding Isar calculations.
  7453 
  7454 * "{x:A. P}" abbreviates "{x. x:A & P}", and similarly for "\<in>"
  7455 instead of ":".
  7456 
  7457 * theory SetInterval: changed the syntax for open intervals:
  7458 
  7459   Old       New
  7460   {..n(}    {..<n}
  7461   {)n..}    {n<..}
  7462   {m..n(}   {m..<n}
  7463   {)m..n}   {m<..n}
  7464   {)m..n(}  {m<..<n}
  7465 
  7466 The old syntax is still supported but will disappear in the next
  7467 release.  For conversion use the following Emacs search and replace
  7468 patterns (these are not perfect but work quite well):
  7469 
  7470   {)\([^\.]*\)\.\.  ->  {\1<\.\.}
  7471   \.\.\([^(}]*\)(}  ->  \.\.<\1}
  7472 
  7473 * Theory Commutative_Ring (in Library): method comm_ring for proving
  7474 equalities in commutative rings; method 'algebra' provides a generic
  7475 interface.
  7476 
  7477 * Theory Finite_Set: changed the syntax for 'setsum', summation over
  7478 finite sets: "setsum (%x. e) A", which used to be "\<Sum>x:A. e", is
  7479 now either "SUM x:A. e" or "\<Sum>x \<in> A. e". The bound variable can
  7480 be a tuple pattern.
  7481 
  7482 Some new syntax forms are available:
  7483 
  7484   "\<Sum>x | P. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {x. P}"
  7485   "\<Sum>x = a..b. e"   for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..b}"
  7486   "\<Sum>x = a..<b. e"  for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..<b}"
  7487   "\<Sum>x < k. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {..<k}"
  7488 
  7489 The latter form "\<Sum>x < k. e" used to be based on a separate
  7490 function "Summation", which has been discontinued.
  7491 
  7492 * theory Finite_Set: in structured induction proofs, the insert case
  7493 is now 'case (insert x F)' instead of the old counterintuitive 'case
  7494 (insert F x)'.
  7495 
  7496 * The 'refute' command has been extended to support a much larger
  7497 fragment of HOL, including axiomatic type classes, constdefs and
  7498 typedefs, inductive datatypes and recursion.
  7499 
  7500 * New tactics 'sat' and 'satx' to prove propositional tautologies.
  7501 Requires zChaff with proof generation to be installed.  See
  7502 HOL/ex/SAT_Examples.thy for examples.
  7503 
  7504 * Datatype induction via method 'induct' now preserves the name of the
  7505 induction variable. For example, when proving P(xs::'a list) by
  7506 induction on xs, the induction step is now P(xs) ==> P(a#xs) rather
  7507 than P(list) ==> P(a#list) as previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  7508 in unstructured proof scripts.
  7509 
  7510 * Reworked implementation of records.  Improved scalability for
  7511 records with many fields, avoiding performance problems for type
  7512 inference. Records are no longer composed of nested field types, but
  7513 of nested extension types. Therefore the record type only grows linear
  7514 in the number of extensions and not in the number of fields.  The
  7515 top-level (users) view on records is preserved.  Potential
  7516 INCOMPATIBILITY only in strange cases, where the theory depends on the
  7517 old record representation. The type generated for a record is called
  7518 <record_name>_ext_type.
  7519 
  7520 Flag record_quick_and_dirty_sensitive can be enabled to skip the
  7521 proofs triggered by a record definition or a simproc (if
  7522 quick_and_dirty is enabled).  Definitions of large records can take
  7523 quite long.
  7524 
  7525 New simproc record_upd_simproc for simplification of multiple record
  7526 updates enabled by default.  Moreover, trivial updates are also
  7527 removed: r(|x := x r|) = r.  INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break
  7528 occasionally, since simplification is more powerful by default.
  7529 
  7530 * typedef: proper support for polymorphic sets, which contain extra
  7531 type-variables in the term.
  7532 
  7533 * Simplifier: automatically reasons about transitivity chains
  7534 involving "trancl" (r^+) and "rtrancl" (r^*) by setting up tactics
  7535 provided by Provers/trancl.ML as additional solvers.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  7536 old proofs break occasionally as simplification may now solve more
  7537 goals than previously.
  7538 
  7539 * Simplifier: converts x <= y into x = y if assumption y <= x is
  7540 present.  Works for all partial orders (class "order"), in particular
  7541 numbers and sets.  For linear orders (e.g. numbers) it treats ~ x < y
  7542 just like y <= x.
  7543 
  7544 * Simplifier: new simproc for "let x = a in f x".  If a is a free or
  7545 bound variable or a constant then the let is unfolded.  Otherwise
  7546 first a is simplified to b, and then f b is simplified to g. If
  7547 possible we abstract b from g arriving at "let x = b in h x",
  7548 otherwise we unfold the let and arrive at g.  The simproc can be
  7549 enabled/disabled by the reference use_let_simproc.  Potential
  7550 INCOMPATIBILITY since simplification is more powerful by default.
  7551 
  7552 * Classical reasoning: the meson method now accepts theorems as arguments.
  7553 
  7554 * Prover support: pre-release of the Isabelle-ATP linkup, which runs background
  7555 jobs to provide advice on the provability of subgoals.
  7556 
  7557 * Theory OrderedGroup and Ring_and_Field: various additions and
  7558 improvements to faciliate calculations involving equalities and
  7559 inequalities.
  7560 
  7561 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7562 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7563 
  7564   abs_eq             now named abs_of_nonneg
  7565   abs_of_ge_0        now named abs_of_nonneg

  7573   mult_neg           now named mult_neg_neg
  7574   mult_neg_le        now named mult_nonpos_nonpos
  7575 
  7576 * The following lemmas in Ring_and_Field have been added to the simplifier:
  7577      
  7578      zero_le_square
  7579      not_square_less_zero 
  7580 
  7581   The following lemmas have been deleted from Real/RealPow:

  7588      abs_realpow_two
  7589      realpow_two_abs     
  7590 
  7591 * Theory Parity: added rules for simplifying exponents.
  7592 
  7593 * Theory List:
  7594 
  7595 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7596 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7597 
  7598   list_all_Nil       now named list_all.simps(1)
  7599   list_all_Cons      now named list_all.simps(2)
  7600   list_all_conv      now named list_all_iff
  7601   set_mem_eq         now named mem_iff
  7602 
  7603 * Theories SetsAndFunctions and BigO (see HOL/Library) support
  7604 asymptotic "big O" calculations.  See the notes in BigO.thy.
  7605 
  7606 
  7607 *** HOL-Complex ***
  7608 
  7609 * Theory RealDef: better support for embedding natural numbers and
  7610 integers in the reals.
  7611 
  7612 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7613 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7614 
  7615   exp_ge_add_one_self  now requires no hypotheses
  7616   real_of_int_add      reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7617   real_of_int_minus    reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7618   real_of_int_diff     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7619   real_of_int_mult     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7620 
  7621 * Theory RComplete: expanded support for floor and ceiling functions.
  7622 
  7623 * Theory Ln is new, with properties of the natural logarithm
  7624 
  7625 * Hyperreal: There is a new type constructor "star" for making
  7626 nonstandard types.  The old type names are now type synonyms:
  7627 
  7628   hypreal = real star
  7629   hypnat = nat star
  7630   hcomplex = complex star
  7631 
  7632 * Hyperreal: Many groups of similarly-defined constants have been
  7633 replaced by polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  7649 * Hyperreal: Many type-specific theorems have been removed in favor of
  7650 theorems specific to various axiomatic type classes (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  7676 
  7677 * Hyperreal: Separate theorems having to do with type-specific
  7678 versions of constants have been merged into theorems that apply to the
  7679 new polymorphic constants (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  7770 * Hyperreal: new method "transfer" that implements the transfer
  7771 principle of nonstandard analysis. With a subgoal that mentions
  7772 nonstandard types like "'a star", the command "apply transfer"
  7773 replaces it with an equivalent one that mentions only standard types.
  7774 To be successful, all free variables must have standard types; non-
  7775 standard variables must have explicit universal quantifiers.
  7776 
  7777 * Hyperreal: A theory of Taylor series.
  7778 
  7779 
  7780 *** HOLCF ***
  7781 
  7782 * Discontinued special version of 'constdefs' (which used to support
  7783 continuous functions) in favor of the general Pure one with full
  7784 type-inference.
  7785 
  7786 * New simplification procedure for solving continuity conditions; it
  7787 is much faster on terms with many nested lambda abstractions (cubic
  7788 instead of exponential time).
  7789 
  7790 * New syntax for domain package: selector names are now optional.
  7791 Parentheses should be omitted unless argument is lazy, for example:
  7792 
  7793   domain 'a stream = cons "'a" (lazy "'a stream")
  7794 
  7795 * New command 'fixrec' for defining recursive functions with pattern
  7796 matching; defining multiple functions with mutual recursion is also
  7797 supported.  Patterns may include the constants cpair, spair, up, sinl,
  7798 sinr, or any data constructor defined by the domain package. The given
  7799 equations are proven as rewrite rules. See HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  7800 syntax and examples.
  7801 
  7802 * New commands 'cpodef' and 'pcpodef' for defining predicate subtypes
  7803 of cpo and pcpo types. Syntax is exactly like the 'typedef' command,
  7804 but the proof obligation additionally includes an admissibility
  7805 requirement. The packages generate instances of class cpo or pcpo,
  7806 with continuity and strictness theorems for Rep and Abs.
  7807 
  7808 * HOLCF: Many theorems have been renamed according to a more standard naming
  7809 scheme (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7810 
  7811   foo_inject:  "foo$x = foo$y ==> x = y"
  7812   foo_eq:      "(foo$x = foo$y) = (x = y)"
  7813   foo_less:    "(foo$x << foo$y) = (x << y)"
  7814   foo_strict:  "foo$UU = UU"
  7815   foo_defined: "... ==> foo$x ~= UU"
  7816   foo_defined_iff: "(foo$x = UU) = (x = UU)"
  7817 
  7818 
  7819 *** ZF ***
  7820 
  7821 * ZF/ex: theories Group and Ring provide examples in abstract algebra,
  7822 including the First Isomorphism Theorem (on quotienting by the kernel
  7823 of a homomorphism).
  7824 
  7825 * ZF/Simplifier: install second copy of type solver that actually
  7826 makes use of TC rules declared to Isar proof contexts (or locales);
  7827 the old version is still required for ML proof scripts.
  7828 
  7829 
  7830 *** Cube ***
  7831 
  7832 * Converted to Isar theory format; use locales instead of axiomatic
  7833 theories.
  7834 
  7835 
  7836 *** ML ***
  7837 
  7838 * Pure/library.ML: added ##>, ##>>, #>> -- higher-order counterparts
  7839 for ||>, ||>>, |>>,
  7840 
  7841 * Pure/library.ML no longer defines its own option datatype, but uses
  7842 that of the SML basis, which has constructors NONE and SOME instead of
  7843 None and Some, as well as exception Option.Option instead of OPTION.
  7844 The functions the, if_none, is_some, is_none have been adapted
  7845 accordingly, while Option.map replaces apsome.
  7846 
  7847 * Pure/library.ML: the exception LIST has been given up in favour of
  7848 the standard exceptions Empty and Subscript, as well as
  7849 Library.UnequalLengths.  Function like Library.hd and Library.tl are
  7850 superceded by the standard hd and tl functions etc.
  7851 
  7852 A number of basic list functions are no longer exported to the ML
  7853 toplevel, as they are variants of predefined functions.  The following
  7854 suggests how one can translate existing code:
  7855 
  7856     rev_append xs ys = List.revAppend (xs, ys)
  7857     nth_elem (i, xs) = List.nth (xs, i)
  7858     last_elem xs = List.last xs
  7859     flat xss = List.concat xss
  7860     seq fs = List.app fs
  7861     partition P xs = List.partition P xs
  7862     mapfilter f xs = List.mapPartial f xs
  7863 
  7864 * Pure/library.ML: several combinators for linear functional
  7865 transformations, notably reverse application and composition:
  7866 
  7867   x |> f                f #> g
  7868   (x, y) |-> f          f #-> g
  7869 
  7870 * Pure/library.ML: introduced/changed precedence of infix operators:
  7871 
  7872   infix 1 |> |-> ||> ||>> |>> |>>> #> #->;
  7873   infix 2 ?;
  7874   infix 3 o oo ooo oooo;
  7875   infix 4 ~~ upto downto;
  7876 
  7877 Maybe INCOMPATIBILITY when any of those is used in conjunction with other
  7878 infix operators.
  7879 
  7880 * Pure/library.ML: natural list combinators fold, fold_rev, and
  7881 fold_map support linear functional transformations and nesting.  For
  7882 example:
  7883 
  7884   fold f [x1, ..., xN] y =
  7885     y |> f x1 |> ... |> f xN
  7886 
  7887   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] y =
  7888     y |> fold f xs1 |> ... |> fold f xsN
  7889 
  7890   fold f [x1, ..., xN] =
  7891     f x1 #> ... #> f xN
  7892 
  7893   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] =
  7894     fold f xs1 #> ... #> fold f xsN
  7895 
  7896 * Pure/library.ML: the following selectors on type 'a option are
  7897 available:
  7898 
  7899   the:               'a option -> 'a  (*partial*)
  7900   these:             'a option -> 'a  where 'a = 'b list
  7901   the_default: 'a -> 'a option -> 'a
  7902   the_list:          'a option -> 'a list
  7903 
  7904 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  7905 basic operations for association lists, following natural argument
  7906 order; moreover the explicit equality predicate passed here avoids
  7907 potentially expensive polymorphic runtime equality checks.
  7908 The old functions may be expressed as follows:
  7909 
  7910   assoc = uncurry (AList.lookup (op =))
  7911   assocs = these oo AList.lookup (op =)
  7912   overwrite = uncurry (AList.update (op =)) o swap
  7913 
  7914 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  7915 
  7916   val make: ('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> ('a * 'b) list
  7917   val find: ('a * 'b -> bool) -> ('c * 'b) list -> 'a -> 'c list
  7918 
  7919 replacing make_keylist and keyfilter (occassionally used)
  7920 Naive rewrites:
  7921 
  7922   make_keylist = AList.make
  7923   keyfilter = AList.find (op =)
  7924 
  7925 * eq_fst and eq_snd now take explicit equality parameter, thus
  7926   avoiding eqtypes. Naive rewrites:
  7927 
  7928     eq_fst = eq_fst (op =)
  7929     eq_snd = eq_snd (op =)
  7930 
  7931 * Removed deprecated apl and apr (rarely used).
  7932   Naive rewrites:
  7933 
  7934     apl (n, op) =>>= curry op n
  7935     apr (op, m) =>>= fn n => op (n, m)
  7936 
  7937 * Pure/General: structure OrdList (cf. Pure/General/ord_list.ML)
  7938 provides a reasonably efficient light-weight implementation of sets as
  7939 lists.
  7940 
  7941 * Pure/General: generic tables (cf. Pure/General/table.ML) provide a
  7942 few new operations; existing lookup and update are now curried to
  7943 follow natural argument order (for use with fold etc.);
  7944 INCOMPATIBILITY, use (uncurry Symtab.lookup) etc. as last resort.
  7945 
  7946 * Pure/General: output via the Isabelle channels of
  7947 writeln/warning/error etc. is now passed through Output.output, with a
  7948 hook for arbitrary transformations depending on the print_mode
  7949 (cf. Output.add_mode -- the first active mode that provides a output
  7950 function wins).  Already formatted output may be embedded into further
  7951 text via Output.raw; the result of Pretty.string_of/str_of and derived
  7952 functions (string_of_term/cterm/thm etc.) is already marked raw to
  7953 accommodate easy composition of diagnostic messages etc.  Programmers
  7954 rarely need to care about Output.output or Output.raw at all, with
  7955 some notable exceptions: Output.output is required when bypassing the
  7956 standard channels (writeln etc.), or in token translations to produce
  7957 properly formatted results; Output.raw is required when capturing
  7958 already output material that will eventually be presented to the user
  7959 a second time.  For the default print mode, both Output.output and
  7960 Output.raw have no effect.
  7961 
  7962 * Pure/General: Output.time_accumulator NAME creates an operator ('a
  7963 -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'b to measure runtime and count invocations; the
  7964 cumulative results are displayed at the end of a batch session.
  7965 
  7966 * Pure/General: File.sysify_path and File.quote_sysify path have been
  7967 replaced by File.platform_path and File.shell_path (with appropriate
  7968 hooks).  This provides a clean interface for unusual systems where the
  7969 internal and external process view of file names are different.
  7970 
  7971 * Pure: more efficient orders for basic syntactic entities: added
  7972 fast_string_ord, fast_indexname_ord, fast_term_ord; changed sort_ord
  7973 and typ_ord to use fast_string_ord and fast_indexname_ord (term_ord is
  7974 NOT affected); structures Symtab, Vartab, Typtab, Termtab use the fast
  7975 orders now -- potential INCOMPATIBILITY for code that depends on a
  7976 particular order for Symtab.keys, Symtab.dest, etc. (consider using
  7977 Library.sort_strings on result).
  7978 
  7979 * Pure/term.ML: combinators fold_atyps, fold_aterms, fold_term_types,
  7980 fold_types traverse types/terms from left to right, observing natural
  7981 argument order.  Supercedes previous foldl_XXX versions, add_frees,
  7982 add_vars etc. have been adapted as well: INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7983 
  7984 * Pure: name spaces have been refined, with significant changes of the
  7985 internal interfaces -- INCOMPATIBILITY.  Renamed cond_extern(_table)
  7986 to extern(_table).  The plain name entry path is superceded by a
  7987 general 'naming' context, which also includes the 'policy' to produce
  7988 a fully qualified name and external accesses of a fully qualified
  7989 name; NameSpace.extend is superceded by context dependent
  7990 Sign.declare_name.  Several theory and proof context operations modify
  7991 the naming context.  Especially note Theory.restore_naming and
  7992 ProofContext.restore_naming to get back to a sane state; note that
  7993 Theory.add_path is no longer sufficient to recover from
  7994 Theory.absolute_path in particular.
  7995 
  7996 * Pure: new flags short_names (default false) and unique_names
  7997 (default true) for controlling output of qualified names.  If
  7998 short_names is set, names are printed unqualified.  If unique_names is
  7999 reset, the name prefix is reduced to the minimum required to achieve
  8000 the original result when interning again, even if there is an overlap
  8001 with earlier declarations.
  8002 
  8003 * Pure/TheoryDataFun: change of the argument structure; 'prep_ext' is
  8004 now 'extend', and 'merge' gets an additional Pretty.pp argument
  8005 (useful for printing error messages).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8006 
  8007 * Pure: major reorganization of the theory context.  Type Sign.sg and
  8008 Theory.theory are now identified, referring to the universal
  8009 Context.theory (see Pure/context.ML).  Actual signature and theory
  8010 content is managed as theory data.  The old code and interfaces were
  8011 spread over many files and structures; the new arrangement introduces
  8012 considerable INCOMPATIBILITY to gain more clarity:
  8013 
  8014   Context -- theory management operations (name, identity, inclusion,
  8015     parents, ancestors, merge, etc.), plus generic theory data;
  8016 
  8017   Sign -- logical signature and syntax operations (declaring consts,
  8018     types, etc.), plus certify/read for common entities;
  8019 
  8020   Theory -- logical theory operations (stating axioms, definitions,
  8021     oracles), plus a copy of logical signature operations (consts,
  8022     types, etc.); also a few basic management operations (Theory.copy,
  8023     Theory.merge, etc.)
  8024 
  8025 The most basic sign_of operations (Theory.sign_of, Thm.sign_of_thm
  8026 etc.) as well as the sign field in Thm.rep_thm etc. have been retained
  8027 for convenience -- they merely return the theory.
  8028 
  8029 * Pure: type Type.tsig is superceded by theory in most interfaces.
  8030 
  8031 * Pure: the Isar proof context type is already defined early in Pure
  8032 as Context.proof (note that ProofContext.context and Proof.context are
  8033 aliases, where the latter is the preferred name).  This enables other
  8034 Isabelle components to refer to that type even before Isar is present.
  8035 
  8036 * Pure/sign/theory: discontinued named name spaces (i.e. classK,
  8037 typeK, constK, axiomK, oracleK), but provide explicit operations for
  8038 any of these kinds.  For example, Sign.intern typeK is now
  8039 Sign.intern_type, Theory.hide_space Sign.typeK is now
  8040 Theory.hide_types.  Also note that former
  8041 Theory.hide_classes/types/consts are now
  8042 Theory.hide_classes_i/types_i/consts_i, while the non '_i' versions
  8043 internalize their arguments!  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8044 
  8045 * Pure: get_thm interface (of PureThy and ProofContext) expects
  8046 datatype thmref (with constructors Name and NameSelection) instead of
  8047 plain string -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8048 
  8049 * Pure: cases produced by proof methods specify options, where NONE
  8050 means to remove case bindings -- INCOMPATIBILITY in
  8051 (RAW_)METHOD_CASES.
  8052 
  8053 * Pure: the following operations retrieve axioms or theorems from a
  8054 theory node or theory hierarchy, respectively:
  8055 
  8056   Theory.axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  8057   Theory.all_axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  8058   PureThy.thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  8059   PureThy.all_thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  8060 
  8061 * Pure: print_tac now outputs the goal through the trace channel.
  8062 
  8063 * Isar toplevel: improved diagnostics, mostly for Poly/ML only.
  8064 Reference Toplevel.debug (default false) controls detailed printing
  8065 and tracing of low-level exceptions; Toplevel.profiling (default 0)
  8066 controls execution profiling -- set to 1 for time and 2 for space
  8067 (both increase the runtime).
  8068 
  8069 * Isar session: The initial use of ROOT.ML is now always timed,
  8070 i.e. the log will show the actual process times, in contrast to the
  8071 elapsed wall-clock time that the outer shell wrapper produces.
  8072 
  8073 * Simplifier: improved handling of bound variables (nameless
  8074 representation, avoid allocating new strings).  Simprocs that invoke
  8075 the Simplifier recursively should use Simplifier.inherit_bounds to
  8076 avoid local name clashes.  Failure to do so produces warnings
  8077 "Simplifier: renamed bound variable ..."; set Simplifier.debug_bounds
  8078 for further details.
  8079 
  8080 * ML functions legacy_bindings and use_legacy_bindings produce ML fact
  8081 bindings for all theorems stored within a given theory; this may help
  8082 in porting non-Isar theories to Isar ones, while keeping ML proof
  8083 scripts for the time being.
  8084 
  8085 * ML operator HTML.with_charset specifies the charset begin used for
  8086 generated HTML files.  For example:
  8087 
  8088   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Hebrew";
  8089   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Chinese";
  8090 
  8091 
  8092 *** System ***
  8093 
  8094 * Allow symlinks to all proper Isabelle executables (Isabelle,
  8095 isabelle, isatool etc.).
  8096 
  8097 * ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT setting specifies preferred document format (for
  8098 isatool doc, isatool mkdir, display_drafts etc.).
  8099 
  8100 * isatool usedir: option -f allows specification of the ML file to be
  8101 used by Isabelle; default is ROOT.ML.
  8102 
  8103 * New isatool version outputs the version identifier of the Isabelle
  8104 distribution being used.
  8105 
  8106 * HOL: new isatool dimacs2hol converts files in DIMACS CNF format
  8107 (containing Boolean satisfiability problems) into Isabelle/HOL
  8108 theories.
  8109 
  8110 
  8111 
  8112 New in Isabelle2004 (April 2004)
  8113 --------------------------------
  8114 
  8115 *** General ***
  8116 
  8117 * Provers/order.ML:  new efficient reasoner for partial and linear orders.
  8118   Replaces linorder.ML.
  8119 
  8120 * Pure: Greek letters (except small lambda, \<lambda>), as well as Gothic
  8121   (\<aa>...\<zz>\<AA>...\<ZZ>), calligraphic (\<A>...\<Z>), and Euler
  8122   (\<a>...\<z>), are now considered normal letters, and can therefore
  8123   be used anywhere where an ASCII letter (a...zA...Z) has until
  8124   now. COMPATIBILITY: This obviously changes the parsing of some
  8125   terms, especially where a symbol has been used as a binder, say
  8126   '\<Pi>x. ...', which is now a type error since \<Pi>x will be parsed
  8127   as an identifier.  Fix it by inserting a space around former
  8128   symbols.  Call 'isatool fixgreek' to try to fix parsing errors in
  8129   existing theory and ML files.
  8130 
  8131 * Pure: Macintosh and Windows line-breaks are now allowed in theory files.
  8132 
  8133 * Pure: single letter sub/superscripts (\<^isub> and \<^isup>) are now
  8134   allowed in identifiers. Similar to Greek letters \<^isub> is now considered
  8135   a normal (but invisible) letter. For multiple letter subscripts repeat
  8136   \<^isub> like this: x\<^isub>1\<^isub>2.
  8137 
  8138 * Pure: There are now sub-/superscripts that can span more than one
  8139   character. Text between \<^bsub> and \<^esub> is set in subscript in
  8140   ProofGeneral and LaTeX, text between \<^bsup> and \<^esup> in
  8141   superscript. The new control characters are not identifier parts.
  8142 
  8143 * Pure: Control-symbols of the form \<^raw:...> will literally print the
  8144   content of "..." to the latex file instead of \isacntrl... . The "..."
  8145   may consist of any printable characters excluding the end bracket >.
  8146 
  8147 * Pure: Using new Isar command "finalconsts" (or the ML functions
  8148   Theory.add_finals or Theory.add_finals_i) it is now possible to
  8149   declare constants "final", which prevents their being given a definition
  8150   later.  It is useful for constants whose behaviour is fixed axiomatically
  8151   rather than definitionally, such as the meta-logic connectives.
  8152 
  8153 * Pure: 'instance' now handles general arities with general sorts
  8154   (i.e. intersections of classes),
  8155 
  8156 * Presentation: generated HTML now uses a CSS style sheet to make layout
  8157   (somewhat) independent of content. It is copied from lib/html/isabelle.css.
  8158   It can be changed to alter the colors/layout of generated pages.
  8159 
  8160 
  8161 *** Isar ***
  8162 
  8163 * Tactic emulation methods rule_tac, erule_tac, drule_tac, frule_tac,
  8164   cut_tac, subgoal_tac and thin_tac:
  8165   - Now understand static (Isar) contexts.  As a consequence, users of Isar
  8166     locales are no longer forced to write Isar proof scripts.
  8167     For details see Isar Reference Manual, paragraph 4.3.2: Further tactic
  8168     emulations.
  8169   - INCOMPATIBILITY: names of variables to be instantiated may no
  8170     longer be enclosed in quotes.  Instead, precede variable name with `?'.
  8171     This is consistent with the instantiation attribute "where".
  8172 
  8173 * Attributes "where" and "of":
  8174   - Now take type variables of instantiated theorem into account when reading
  8175     the instantiation string.  This fixes a bug that caused instantiated
  8176     theorems to have too special types in some circumstances.
  8177   - "where" permits explicit instantiations of type variables.
  8178 
  8179 * Calculation commands "moreover" and "also" no longer interfere with
  8180   current facts ("this"), admitting arbitrary combinations with "then"
  8181   and derived forms.
  8182 
  8183 * Locales:
  8184   - Goal statements involving the context element "includes" no longer
  8185     generate theorems with internal delta predicates (those ending on
  8186     "_axioms") in the premise.
  8187     Resolve particular premise with <locale>.intro to obtain old form.
  8188   - Fixed bug in type inference ("unify_frozen") that prevented mix of target
  8189     specification and "includes" elements in goal statement.
  8190   - Rule sets <locale>.intro and <locale>.axioms no longer declared as
  8191     [intro?] and [elim?] (respectively) by default.
  8192   - Experimental command for instantiation of locales in proof contexts:
  8193         instantiate <label>[<attrs>]: <loc>
  8194     Instantiates locale <loc> and adds all its theorems to the current context
  8195     taking into account their attributes.  Label and attrs are optional
  8196     modifiers, like in theorem declarations.  If present, names of
  8197     instantiated theorems are qualified with <label>, and the attributes
  8198     <attrs> are applied after any attributes these theorems might have already.
  8199       If the locale has assumptions, a chained fact of the form
  8200     "<loc> t1 ... tn" is expected from which instantiations of the parameters
  8201     are derived.  The command does not support old-style locales declared
  8202     with "locale (open)".
  8203       A few (very simple) examples can be found in FOL/ex/LocaleInst.thy.
  8204 
  8205 * HOL: Tactic emulation methods induct_tac and case_tac understand static
  8206   (Isar) contexts.
  8207 
  8208 
  8209 *** HOL ***
  8210 
  8211 * Proof import: new image HOL4 contains the imported library from
  8212   the HOL4 system with about 2500 theorems. It is imported by
  8213   replaying proof terms produced by HOL4 in Isabelle. The HOL4 image
  8214   can be used like any other Isabelle image.  See
  8215   HOL/Import/HOL/README for more information.
  8216 
  8217 * Simplifier:
  8218   - Much improved handling of linear and partial orders.
  8219     Reasoners for linear and partial orders are set up for type classes
  8220     "linorder" and "order" respectively, and are added to the default simpset
  8221     as solvers.  This means that the simplifier can build transitivity chains
  8222     to solve goals from the assumptions.
  8223   - INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break occasionally.  Typically, applications
  8224     of blast or auto after simplification become unnecessary because the goal
  8225     is solved by simplification already.
  8226 
  8227 * Numerics: new theory Ring_and_Field contains over 250 basic numerical laws,
  8228     all proved in axiomatic type classes for semirings, rings and fields.
  8229 
  8230 * Numerics:
  8231   - Numeric types (nat, int, and in HOL-Complex rat, real, complex, etc.) are
  8232     now formalized using the Ring_and_Field theory mentioned above.
  8233   - INCOMPATIBILITY: simplification and arithmetic behaves somewhat differently
  8234     than before, because now they are set up once in a generic manner.
  8235   - INCOMPATIBILITY: many type-specific arithmetic laws have gone.
  8236     Look for the general versions in Ring_and_Field (and Power if they concern
  8237     exponentiation).
  8238 
  8239 * Type "rat" of the rational numbers is now available in HOL-Complex.
  8240 
  8241 * Records:
  8242   - Record types are now by default printed with their type abbreviation
  8243     instead of the list of all field types. This can be configured via
  8244     the reference "print_record_type_abbr".
  8245   - Simproc "record_upd_simproc" for simplification of multiple updates added
  8246     (not enabled by default).
  8247   - Simproc "record_ex_sel_eq_simproc" to simplify EX x. sel r = x resp.
  8248     EX x. x = sel r to True (not enabled by default).
  8249   - Tactic "record_split_simp_tac" to split and simplify records added.
  8250 
  8251 * 'specification' command added, allowing for definition by
  8252   specification.  There is also an 'ax_specification' command that
  8253   introduces the new constants axiomatically.
  8254 
  8255 * arith(_tac) is now able to generate counterexamples for reals as well.
  8256 
  8257 * HOL-Algebra: new locale "ring" for non-commutative rings.
  8258 
  8259 * HOL-ex: InductiveInvariant_examples illustrates advanced recursive function
  8260   definitions, thanks to Sava Krsti\'{c} and John Matthews.
  8261 
  8262 * HOL-Matrix: a first theory for matrices in HOL with an application of
  8263   matrix theory to linear programming.
  8264 
  8265 * Unions and Intersections:
  8266   The latex output syntax of UN and INT has been changed
  8267   from "\Union x \in A. B" to "\Union_{x \in A} B"
  8268   i.e. the index formulae has become a subscript.
  8269   Similarly for "\Union x. B", and for \Inter instead of \Union.
  8270 
  8271 * Unions and Intersections over Intervals:
  8272   There is new short syntax "UN i<=n. A" for "UN i:{0..n}. A". There is
  8273   also an x-symbol version with subscripts "\<Union>\<^bsub>i <= n\<^esub>. A"
  8274   like in normal math, and corresponding versions for < and for intersection.
  8275 
  8276 * HOL/List: Ordering "lexico" is renamed "lenlex" and the standard
  8277   lexicographic dictonary ordering has been added as "lexord".
  8278 
  8279 * ML: the legacy theory structures Int and List have been removed. They had
  8280   conflicted with ML Basis Library structures having the same names.
  8281 
  8282 * 'refute' command added to search for (finite) countermodels.  Only works
  8283   for a fragment of HOL.  The installation of an external SAT solver is
  8284   highly recommended.  See "HOL/Refute.thy" for details.
  8285 
  8286 * 'quickcheck' command: Allows to find counterexamples by evaluating
  8287   formulae under an assignment of free variables to random values.
  8288   In contrast to 'refute', it can deal with inductive datatypes,
  8289   but cannot handle quantifiers. See "HOL/ex/Quickcheck_Examples.thy"
  8290   for examples.
  8291 
  8292 
  8293 *** HOLCF ***
  8294 
  8295 * Streams now come with concatenation and are part of the HOLCF image
  8296 
  8297 
  8298 
  8299 New in Isabelle2003 (May 2003)
  8300 ------------------------------
  8301 
  8302 *** General ***
  8303 
  8304 * Provers/simplifier:
  8305 
  8306   - Completely reimplemented method simp (ML: Asm_full_simp_tac):
  8307     Assumptions are now subject to complete mutual simplification,
  8308     not just from left to right. The simplifier now preserves
  8309     the order of assumptions.
  8310 
  8311     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  8312 
  8313     -- simp sometimes diverges where the old version did
  8314        not, e.g. invoking simp on the goal
  8315 
  8316         [| P (f x); y = x; f x = f y |] ==> Q
  8317 
  8318        now gives rise to the infinite reduction sequence
  8319 
  8320         P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> P(f y) --(y = x)--> P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> ...
  8321 
  8322        Using "simp (asm_lr)" (ML: Asm_lr_simp_tac) instead often solves this
  8323        kind of problem.
  8324 
  8325     -- Tactics combining classical reasoner and simplification (such as auto)
  8326        are also affected by this change, because many of them rely on
  8327        simp. They may sometimes diverge as well or yield a different numbers
  8328        of subgoals. Try to use e.g. force, fastsimp, or safe instead of auto
  8329        in case of problems. Sometimes subsequent calls to the classical
  8330        reasoner will fail because a preceeding call to the simplifier too
  8331        eagerly simplified the goal, e.g. deleted redundant premises.
  8332 
  8333   - The simplifier trace now shows the names of the applied rewrite rules
  8334 
  8335   - You can limit the number of recursive invocations of the simplifier
  8336     during conditional rewriting (where the simplifie tries to solve the
  8337     conditions before applying the rewrite rule):
  8338     ML "simp_depth_limit := n"
  8339     where n is an integer. Thus you can force termination where previously
  8340     the simplifier would diverge.
  8341 
  8342   - Accepts free variables as head terms in congruence rules.  Useful in Isar.
  8343 
  8344   - No longer aborts on failed congruence proof.  Instead, the
  8345     congruence is ignored.
  8346 
  8347 * Pure: New generic framework for extracting programs from constructive
  8348   proofs. See HOL/Extraction.thy for an example instantiation, as well
  8349   as HOL/Extraction for some case studies.
  8350 
  8351 * Pure: The main goal of the proof state is no longer shown by default, only
  8352 the subgoals. This behaviour is controlled by a new flag.
  8353    PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Settings -> Show Main Goal
  8354 (ML: Proof.show_main_goal).
  8355 
  8356 * Pure: You can find all matching introduction rules for subgoal 1, i.e. all
  8357 rules whose conclusion matches subgoal 1:
  8358       PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Show me -> matching rules
  8359 The rules are ordered by how closely they match the subgoal.
  8360 In particular, rules that solve a subgoal outright are displayed first
  8361 (or rather last, the way they are printed).
  8362 (ML: ProofGeneral.print_intros())
  8363 
  8364 * Pure: New flag trace_unify_fail causes unification to print
  8365 diagnostic information (PG: in trace buffer) when it fails. This is
  8366 useful for figuring out why single step proofs like rule, erule or
  8367 assumption failed.
  8368 
  8369 * Pure: Locale specifications now produce predicate definitions
  8370 according to the body of text (covering assumptions modulo local
  8371 definitions); predicate "loc_axioms" covers newly introduced text,
  8372 while "loc" is cumulative wrt. all included locale expressions; the
  8373 latter view is presented only on export into the global theory
  8374 context; potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use "(open)" option to fall back
  8375 on the old view without predicates;
  8376 
  8377 * Pure: predefined locales "var" and "struct" are useful for sharing
  8378 parameters (as in CASL, for example); just specify something like
  8379 ``var x + var y + struct M'' as import;
  8380 
  8381 * Pure: improved thms_containing: proper indexing of facts instead of
  8382 raw theorems; check validity of results wrt. current name space;
  8383 include local facts of proof configuration (also covers active
  8384 locales), cover fixed variables in index; may use "_" in term
  8385 specification; an optional limit for the number of printed facts may
  8386 be given (the default is 40);
  8387 
  8388 * Pure: disallow duplicate fact bindings within new-style theory files
  8389 (batch-mode only);
  8390 
  8391 * Provers: improved induct method: assumptions introduced by case
  8392 "foo" are split into "foo.hyps" (from the rule) and "foo.prems" (from
  8393 the goal statement); "foo" still refers to all facts collectively;
  8394 
  8395 * Provers: the function blast.overloaded has been removed: all constants
  8396 are regarded as potentially overloaded, which improves robustness in exchange
  8397 for slight decrease in efficiency;
  8398 
  8399 * Provers/linorder: New generic prover for transitivity reasoning over
  8400 linear orders.  Note: this prover is not efficient!
  8401 
  8402 * Isar: preview of problems to finish 'show' now produce an error
  8403 rather than just a warning (in interactive mode);
  8404 
  8405 
  8406 *** HOL ***
  8407 
  8408 * arith(_tac)
  8409 
  8410  - Produces a counter example if it cannot prove a goal.
  8411    Note that the counter example may be spurious if the goal is not a formula
  8412    of quantifier-free linear arithmetic.
  8413    In ProofGeneral the counter example appears in the trace buffer.
  8414 
  8415  - Knows about div k and mod k where k is a numeral of type nat or int.
  8416 
  8417  - Calls full Presburger arithmetic (by Amine Chaieb) if quantifier-free
  8418    linear arithmetic fails. This takes account of quantifiers and divisibility.
  8419    Presburger arithmetic can also be called explicitly via presburger(_tac).
  8420 
  8421 * simp's arithmetic capabilities have been enhanced a bit: it now
  8422 takes ~= in premises into account (by performing a case split);
  8423 
  8424 * simp reduces "m*(n div m) + n mod m" to n, even if the two summands
  8425 are distributed over a sum of terms;
  8426 
  8427 * New tactic "trans_tac" and method "trans" instantiate
  8428 Provers/linorder.ML for axclasses "order" and "linorder" (predicates
  8429 "<=", "<" and "=").
  8430 
  8431 * function INCOMPATIBILITIES: Pi-sets have been redefined and moved from main
  8432 HOL to Library/FuncSet; constant "Fun.op o" is now called "Fun.comp";
  8433 
  8434 * 'typedef' command has new option "open" to suppress the set
  8435 definition;
  8436 
  8437 * functions Min and Max on finite sets have been introduced (theory
  8438 Finite_Set);
  8439 
  8440 * attribute [symmetric] now works for relations as well; it turns
  8441 (x,y) : R^-1 into (y,x) : R, and vice versa;
  8442 
  8443 * induct over a !!-quantified statement (say !!x1..xn):
  8444   each "case" automatically performs "fix x1 .. xn" with exactly those names.
  8445 
  8446 * Map: `empty' is no longer a constant but a syntactic abbreviation for
  8447 %x. None. Warning: empty_def now refers to the previously hidden definition
  8448 of the empty set.
  8449 
  8450 * Algebra: formalization of classical algebra.  Intended as base for
  8451 any algebraic development in Isabelle.  Currently covers group theory
  8452 (up to Sylow's theorem) and ring theory (Universal Property of
  8453 Univariate Polynomials).  Contributions welcome;
  8454 
  8455 * GroupTheory: deleted, since its material has been moved to Algebra;
  8456 
  8457 * Complex: new directory of the complex numbers with numeric constants,
  8458 nonstandard complex numbers, and some complex analysis, standard and
  8459 nonstandard (Jacques Fleuriot);
  8460 
  8461 * HOL-Complex: new image for analysis, replacing HOL-Real and HOL-Hyperreal;
  8462 
  8463 * Hyperreal: introduced Gauge integration and hyperreal logarithms (Jacques
  8464 Fleuriot);
  8465 
  8466 * Real/HahnBanach: updated and adapted to locales;
  8467 
  8468 * NumberTheory: added Gauss's law of quadratic reciprocity (by Avigad,
  8469 Gray and Kramer);
  8470 
  8471 * UNITY: added the Meier-Sanders theory of progress sets;
  8472 
  8473 * MicroJava: bytecode verifier and lightweight bytecode verifier
  8474 as abstract algorithms, instantiated to the JVM;
  8475 
  8476 * Bali: Java source language formalization. Type system, operational
  8477 semantics, axiomatic semantics. Supported language features:
  8478 classes, interfaces, objects,virtual methods, static methods,
  8479 static/instance fields, arrays, access modifiers, definite
  8480 assignment, exceptions.
  8481 
  8482 
  8483 *** ZF ***
  8484 
  8485 * ZF/Constructible: consistency proof for AC (Gdel's constructible
  8486 universe, etc.);
  8487 
  8488 * Main ZF: virtually all theories converted to new-style format;
  8489 
  8490 
  8491 *** ML ***
  8492 
  8493 * Pure: Tactic.prove provides sane interface for internal proofs;
  8494 omits the infamous "standard" operation, so this is more appropriate
  8495 than prove_goalw_cterm in many situations (e.g. in simprocs);
  8496 
  8497 * Pure: improved error reporting of simprocs;
  8498 
  8499 * Provers: Simplifier.simproc(_i) provides sane interface for setting
  8500 up simprocs;
  8501 
  8502 
  8503 *** Document preparation ***
  8504 
  8505 * uses \par instead of \\ for line breaks in theory text. This may
  8506 shift some page breaks in large documents. To get the old behaviour
  8507 use \renewcommand{\isanewline}{\mbox{}\\\mbox{}} in root.tex.
  8508 
  8509 * minimized dependencies of isabelle.sty and isabellesym.sty on
  8510 other packages
  8511 
  8512 * \<euro> now needs package babel/greek instead of marvosym (which
  8513 broke \Rightarrow)
  8514 
  8515 * normal size for \<zero>...\<nine> (uses \mathbf instead of
  8516 textcomp package)
  8517 
  8518 
  8519 
  8520 New in Isabelle2002 (March 2002)
  8521 --------------------------------
  8522 
  8523 *** Document preparation ***
  8524 
  8525 * greatly simplified document preparation setup, including more
  8526 graceful interpretation of isatool usedir -i/-d/-D options, and more
  8527 instructive isatool mkdir; users should basically be able to get
  8528 started with "isatool mkdir HOL Test && isatool make"; alternatively,
  8529 users may run a separate document processing stage manually like this:
  8530 "isatool usedir -D output HOL Test && isatool document Test/output";
  8531 
  8532 * theory dependency graph may now be incorporated into documents;
  8533 isatool usedir -g true will produce session_graph.eps/.pdf for use
  8534 with \includegraphics of LaTeX;
  8535 
  8536 * proper spacing of consecutive markup elements, especially text
  8537 blocks after section headings;
  8538 
  8539 * support bold style (for single symbols only), input syntax is like
  8540 this: "\<^bold>\<alpha>" or "\<^bold>A";
  8541 
  8542 * \<bullet> is now output as bold \cdot by default, which looks much
  8543 better in printed text;
  8544 
  8545 * added default LaTeX bindings for \<tturnstile> and \<TTurnstile>;
  8546 note that these symbols are currently unavailable in Proof General /
  8547 X-Symbol; new symbols \<zero>, \<one>, ..., \<nine>, and \<euro>;
  8548 
  8549 * isatool latex no longer depends on changed TEXINPUTS, instead
  8550 isatool document copies the Isabelle style files to the target
  8551 location;
  8552 
  8553 
  8554 *** Isar ***
  8555 
  8556 * Pure/Provers: improved proof by cases and induction;
  8557   - 'case' command admits impromptu naming of parameters (such as
  8558     "case (Suc n)");
  8559   - 'induct' method divinates rule instantiation from the inductive
  8560     claim; no longer requires excessive ?P bindings for proper
  8561     instantiation of cases;
  8562   - 'induct' method properly enumerates all possibilities of set/type
  8563     rules; as a consequence facts may be also passed through *type*
  8564     rules without further ado;
  8565   - 'induct' method now derives symbolic cases from the *rulified*
  8566     rule (before it used to rulify cases stemming from the internal
  8567     atomized version); this means that the context of a non-atomic
  8568     statement becomes is included in the hypothesis, avoiding the
  8569     slightly cumbersome show "PROP ?case" form;
  8570   - 'induct' may now use elim-style induction rules without chaining
  8571     facts, using ``missing'' premises from the goal state; this allows
  8572     rules stemming from inductive sets to be applied in unstructured
  8573     scripts, while still benefitting from proper handling of non-atomic
  8574     statements; NB: major inductive premises need to be put first, all
  8575     the rest of the goal is passed through the induction;
  8576   - 'induct' proper support for mutual induction involving non-atomic
  8577     rule statements (uses the new concept of simultaneous goals, see
  8578     below);
  8579   - append all possible rule selections, but only use the first
  8580     success (no backtracking);
  8581   - removed obsolete "(simplified)" and "(stripped)" options of methods;
  8582   - undeclared rule case names default to numbers 1, 2, 3, ...;
  8583   - added 'print_induct_rules' (covered by help item in recent Proof
  8584     General versions);
  8585   - moved induct/cases attributes to Pure, methods to Provers;
  8586   - generic method setup instantiated for FOL and HOL;
  8587 
  8588 * Pure: support multiple simultaneous goal statements, for example
  8589 "have a: A and b: B" (same for 'theorem' etc.); being a pure
  8590 meta-level mechanism, this acts as if several individual goals had
  8591 been stated separately; in particular common proof methods need to be
  8592 repeated in order to cover all claims; note that a single elimination
  8593 step is *not* sufficient to establish the two conjunctions, so this
  8594 fails:
  8595 
  8596   assume "A & B" then have A and B ..   (*".." fails*)
  8597 
  8598 better use "obtain" in situations as above; alternative refer to
  8599 multi-step methods like 'auto', 'simp_all', 'blast+' etc.;
  8600 
  8601 * Pure: proper integration with ``locales''; unlike the original
  8602 version by Florian Kammller, Isar locales package high-level proof
  8603 contexts rather than raw logical ones (e.g. we admit to include
  8604 attributes everywhere); operations on locales include merge and
  8605 rename; support for implicit arguments (``structures''); simultaneous
  8606 type-inference over imports and text; see also HOL/ex/Locales.thy for
  8607 some examples;
  8608 
  8609 * Pure: the following commands have been ``localized'', supporting a
  8610 target locale specification "(in name)": 'lemma', 'theorem',
  8611 'corollary', 'lemmas', 'theorems', 'declare'; the results will be
  8612 stored both within the locale and at the theory level (exported and
  8613 qualified by the locale name);
  8614 
  8615 * Pure: theory goals may now be specified in ``long'' form, with
  8616 ad-hoc contexts consisting of arbitrary locale elements. for example
  8617 ``lemma foo: fixes x assumes "A x" shows "B x"'' (local syntax and
  8618 definitions may be given, too); the result is a meta-level rule with
  8619 the context elements being discharged in the obvious way;
  8620 
  8621 * Pure: new proof command 'using' allows to augment currently used
  8622 facts after a goal statement ('using' is syntactically analogous to
  8623 'apply', but acts on the goal's facts only); this allows chained facts
  8624 to be separated into parts given before and after a claim, as in
  8625 ``from a and b have C using d and e <proof>'';
  8626 
  8627 * Pure: renamed "antecedent" case to "rule_context";
  8628 
  8629 * Pure: new 'judgment' command records explicit information about the
  8630 object-logic embedding (used by several tools internally); no longer
  8631 use hard-wired "Trueprop";
  8632 
  8633 * Pure: added 'corollary' command;
  8634 
  8635 * Pure: fixed 'token_translation' command;
  8636 
  8637 * Pure: removed obsolete 'exported' attribute;
  8638 
  8639 * Pure: dummy pattern "_" in is/let is now automatically lifted over
  8640 bound variables: "ALL x. P x --> Q x" (is "ALL x. _ --> ?C x")
  8641 supersedes more cumbersome ... (is "ALL x. _ x --> ?C x");
  8642 
  8643 * Pure: method 'atomize' presents local goal premises as object-level
  8644 statements (atomic meta-level propositions); setup controlled via
  8645 rewrite rules declarations of 'atomize' attribute; example
  8646 application: 'induct' method with proper rule statements in improper
  8647 proof *scripts*;
  8648 
  8649 * Pure: emulation of instantiation tactics (rule_tac, cut_tac, etc.)
  8650 now consider the syntactic context of assumptions, giving a better
  8651 chance to get type-inference of the arguments right (this is
  8652 especially important for locales);
  8653 
  8654 * Pure: "sorry" no longer requires quick_and_dirty in interactive
  8655 mode;
  8656 
  8657 * Pure/obtain: the formal conclusion "thesis", being marked as
  8658 ``internal'', may no longer be reference directly in the text;
  8659 potential INCOMPATIBILITY, may need to use "?thesis" in rare
  8660 situations;
  8661 
  8662 * Pure: generic 'sym' attribute which declares a rule both as pure
  8663 'elim?' and for the 'symmetric' operation;
  8664 
  8665 * Pure: marginal comments ``--'' may now occur just anywhere in the
  8666 text; the fixed correlation with particular command syntax has been
  8667 discontinued;
  8668 
  8669 * Pure: new method 'rules' is particularly well-suited for proof
  8670 search in intuitionistic logic; a bit slower than 'blast' or 'fast',
  8671 but often produces more compact proof terms with less detours;
  8672 
  8673 * Pure/Provers/classical: simplified integration with pure rule
  8674 attributes and methods; the classical "intro?/elim?/dest?"
  8675 declarations coincide with the pure ones; the "rule" method no longer
  8676 includes classically swapped intros; "intro" and "elim" methods no
  8677 longer pick rules from the context; also got rid of ML declarations
  8678 AddXIs/AddXEs/AddXDs; all of this has some potential for
  8679 INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8680 
  8681 * Provers/classical: attribute 'swapped' produces classical inversions
  8682 of introduction rules;
  8683 
  8684 * Provers/simplifier: 'simplified' attribute may refer to explicit
  8685 rules instead of full simplifier context; 'iff' attribute handles
  8686 conditional rules;
  8687 
  8688 * HOL: 'typedef' now allows alternative names for Rep/Abs morphisms;
  8689 
  8690 * HOL: 'recdef' now fails on unfinished automated proofs, use
  8691 "(permissive)" option to recover old behavior;
  8692 
  8693 * HOL: 'inductive' no longer features separate (collective) attributes
  8694 for 'intros' (was found too confusing);
  8695 
  8696 * HOL: properly declared induction rules less_induct and
  8697 wf_induct_rule;
  8698 
  8699 
  8700 *** HOL ***
  8701 
  8702 * HOL: moved over to sane numeral syntax; the new policy is as
  8703 follows:
  8704 
  8705   - 0 and 1 are polymorphic constants, which are defined on any
  8706   numeric type (nat, int, real etc.);
  8707 
  8708   - 2, 3, 4, ... and -1, -2, -3, ... are polymorphic numerals, based
  8709   binary representation internally;
  8710 
  8711   - type nat has special constructor Suc, and generally prefers Suc 0
  8712   over 1::nat and Suc (Suc 0) over 2::nat;
  8713 
  8714 This change may cause significant problems of INCOMPATIBILITY; here
  8715 are some hints on converting existing sources:
  8716 
  8717   - due to the new "num" token, "-0" and "-1" etc. are now atomic
  8718   entities, so expressions involving "-" (unary or binary minus) need
  8719   to be spaced properly;
  8720 
  8721   - existing occurrences of "1" may need to be constraint "1::nat" or
  8722   even replaced by Suc 0; similar for old "2";
  8723 
  8724   - replace "#nnn" by "nnn", and "#-nnn" by "-nnn";
  8725 
  8726   - remove all special provisions on numerals in proofs;
  8727 
  8728 * HOL: simp rules nat_number expand numerals on nat to Suc/0
  8729 representation (depends on bin_arith_simps in the default context);
  8730 
  8731 * HOL: symbolic syntax for x^2 (numeral 2);
  8732 
  8733 * HOL: the class of all HOL types is now called "type" rather than
  8734 "term"; INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt references to this type class
  8735 in axclass/classes, instance/arities, and (usually rare) occurrences
  8736 in typings (of consts etc.); internally the class is called
  8737 "HOL.type", ML programs should refer to HOLogic.typeS;
  8738 
  8739 * HOL/record package improvements:
  8740   - new derived operations "fields" to build a partial record section,
  8741     "extend" to promote a fixed record to a record scheme, and
  8742     "truncate" for the reverse; cf. theorems "xxx.defs", which are *not*
  8743     declared as simp by default;
  8744   - shared operations ("more", "fields", etc.) now need to be always
  8745     qualified) --- potential INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8746   - removed "make_scheme" operations (use "make" with "extend") --
  8747     INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8748   - removed "more" class (simply use "term") -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8749   - provides cases/induct rules for use with corresponding Isar
  8750     methods (for concrete records, record schemes, concrete more
  8751     parts, and schematic more parts -- in that order);
  8752   - internal definitions directly based on a light-weight abstract
  8753     theory of product types over typedef rather than datatype;
  8754 
  8755 * HOL: generic code generator for generating executable ML code from
  8756 specifications; specific support for HOL constructs such as inductive
  8757 datatypes and sets, as well as recursive functions; can be invoked
  8758 via 'generate_code' theory section;
  8759 
  8760 * HOL: canonical cases/induct rules for n-tuples (n = 3..7);
  8761 
  8762 * HOL: consolidated and renamed several theories.  In particular:
  8763         Ord.thy has been absorbed into HOL.thy
  8764         String.thy has been absorbed into List.thy
  8765 
  8766 * HOL: concrete setsum syntax "\<Sum>i:A. b" == "setsum (%i. b) A"
  8767 (beware of argument permutation!);
  8768 
  8769 * HOL: linorder_less_split superseded by linorder_cases;
  8770 
  8771 * HOL/List: "nodups" renamed to "distinct";
  8772 
  8773 * HOL: added "The" definite description operator; move Hilbert's "Eps"
  8774 to peripheral theory "Hilbert_Choice"; some INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  8775   - Ex_def has changed, now need to use some_eq_ex
  8776 
  8777 * HOL: made split_all_tac safe; EXISTING PROOFS MAY FAIL OR LOOP, so
  8778 in this (rare) case use:
  8779 
  8780   delSWrapper "split_all_tac"
  8781   addSbefore ("unsafe_split_all_tac", unsafe_split_all_tac)
  8782 
  8783 * HOL: added safe wrapper "split_conv_tac" to claset; EXISTING PROOFS
  8784 MAY FAIL;
  8785 
  8786 * HOL: introduced f^n = f o ... o f; warning: due to the limits of
  8787 Isabelle's type classes, ^ on functions and relations has too general
  8788 a domain, namely ('a * 'b) set and 'a => 'b; this means that it may be
  8789 necessary to attach explicit type constraints;
  8790 
  8791 * HOL/Relation: the prefix name of the infix "O" has been changed from
  8792 "comp" to "rel_comp"; INCOMPATIBILITY: a few theorems have been
  8793 renamed accordingly (eg "compI" -> "rel_compI").
  8794 
  8795 * HOL: syntax translations now work properly with numerals and records
  8796 expressions;
  8797 
  8798 * HOL: bounded abstraction now uses syntax "%" / "\<lambda>" instead
  8799 of "lam" -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8800 
  8801 * HOL: got rid of some global declarations (potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  8802 for ML tools): const "()" renamed "Product_Type.Unity", type "unit"
  8803 renamed "Product_Type.unit";
  8804 
  8805 * HOL: renamed rtrancl_into_rtrancl2 to converse_rtrancl_into_rtrancl
  8806 
  8807 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem "optionE" (use "option.exhaust", or
  8808 the "cases" method);
  8809 
  8810 * HOL/GroupTheory: group theory examples including Sylow's theorem (by
  8811 Florian Kammller);
  8812 
  8813 * HOL/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory format; several
  8814 parts turned into readable document, with proper Isar proof texts and
  8815 some explanations (by Gerwin Klein);
  8816 
  8817 * HOL-Real: added Complex_Numbers (by Gertrud Bauer);
  8818 
  8819 * HOL-Hyperreal is now a logic image;
  8820 
  8821 
  8822 *** HOLCF ***
  8823 
  8824 * Isar: consts/constdefs supports mixfix syntax for continuous
  8825 operations;
  8826 
  8827 * Isar: domain package adapted to new-style theory format, e.g. see
  8828 HOLCF/ex/Dnat.thy;
  8829 
  8830 * theory Lift: proper use of rep_datatype lift instead of ML hacks --
  8831 potential INCOMPATIBILITY; now use plain induct_tac instead of former
  8832 lift.induct_tac, always use UU instead of Undef;
  8833 
  8834 * HOLCF/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory;
  8835 
  8836 
  8837 *** ZF ***
  8838 
  8839 * Isar: proper integration of logic-specific tools and packages,
  8840 including theory commands '(co)inductive', '(co)datatype',
  8841 'rep_datatype', 'inductive_cases', as well as methods 'ind_cases',
  8842 'induct_tac', 'case_tac', and 'typecheck' (with attribute 'TC');
  8843 
  8844 * theory Main no longer includes AC; for the Axiom of Choice, base
  8845 your theory on Main_ZFC;
  8846 
  8847 * the integer library now covers quotients and remainders, with many
  8848 laws relating division to addition, multiplication, etc.;
  8849 
  8850 * ZF/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY is now available in ZF, giving a
  8851 typeless version of the formalism;
  8852 
  8853 * ZF/AC, Coind, IMP, Resid: updated and converted to new-style theory
  8854 format;
  8855 
  8856 * ZF/Induct: new directory for examples of inductive definitions,
  8857 including theory Multiset for multiset orderings; converted to
  8858 new-style theory format;
  8859 
  8860 * ZF: many new theorems about lists, ordinals, etc.;
  8861 
  8862 
  8863 *** General ***
  8864 
  8865 * Pure/kernel: meta-level proof terms (by Stefan Berghofer); reference
  8866 variable proof controls level of detail: 0 = no proofs (only oracle
  8867 dependencies), 1 = lemma dependencies, 2 = compact proof terms; see
  8868 also ref manual for further ML interfaces;
  8869 
  8870 * Pure/axclass: removed obsolete ML interface
  8871 goal_subclass/goal_arity;
  8872 
  8873 * Pure/syntax: new token syntax "num" for plain numerals (without "#"
  8874 of "xnum"); potential INCOMPATIBILITY, since -0, -1 etc. are now
  8875 separate tokens, so expressions involving minus need to be spaced
  8876 properly;
  8877 
  8878 * Pure/syntax: support non-oriented infixes, using keyword "infix"
  8879 rather than "infixl" or "infixr";
  8880 
  8881 * Pure/syntax: concrete syntax for dummy type variables admits genuine
  8882 sort constraint specifications in type inference; e.g. "x::_::foo"
  8883 ensures that the type of "x" is of sort "foo" (but not necessarily a
  8884 type variable);
  8885 
  8886 * Pure/syntax: print modes "type_brackets" and "no_type_brackets"
  8887 control output of nested => (types); the default behavior is
  8888 "type_brackets";
  8889 
  8890 * Pure/syntax: builtin parse translation for "_constify" turns valued
  8891 tokens into AST constants;
  8892 
  8893 * Pure/syntax: prefer later declarations of translations and print
  8894 translation functions; potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to reverse
  8895 multiple declarations for same syntax element constant;
  8896 
  8897 * Pure/show_hyps reset by default (in accordance to existing Isar
  8898 practice);
  8899 
  8900 * Provers/classical: renamed addaltern to addafter, addSaltern to
  8901 addSafter;
  8902 
  8903 * Provers/clasimp: ``iff'' declarations now handle conditional rules
  8904 as well;
  8905 
  8906 * system: tested support for MacOS X; should be able to get Isabelle +
  8907 Proof General to work in a plain Terminal after installing Poly/ML
  8908 (e.g. from the Isabelle distribution area) and GNU bash alone
  8909 (e.g. from http://www.apple.com); full X11, XEmacs and X-Symbol
  8910 support requires further installations, e.g. from
  8911 http://fink.sourceforge.net/);
  8912 
  8913 * system: support Poly/ML 4.1.1 (able to manage larger heaps);
  8914 
  8915 * system: reduced base memory usage by Poly/ML (approx. 20 MB instead
  8916 of 40 MB), cf. ML_OPTIONS;
  8917 
  8918 * system: Proof General keywords specification is now part of the
  8919 Isabelle distribution (see etc/isar-keywords.el);
  8920 
  8921 * system: support for persistent Proof General sessions (refrain from
  8922 outdating all loaded theories on startup); user may create writable
  8923 logic images like this: ``isabelle -q HOL Test'';
  8924 
  8925 * system: smart selection of Isabelle process versus Isabelle
  8926 interface, accommodates case-insensitive file systems (e.g. HFS+); may
  8927 run both "isabelle" and "Isabelle" even if file names are badly
  8928 damaged (executable inspects the case of the first letter of its own
  8929 name); added separate "isabelle-process" and "isabelle-interface";
  8930 
  8931 * system: refrain from any attempt at filtering input streams; no
  8932 longer support ``8bit'' encoding of old isabelle font, instead proper
  8933 iso-latin characters may now be used; the related isatools
  8934 "symbolinput" and "nonascii" have disappeared as well;
  8935 
  8936 * system: removed old "xterm" interface (the print modes "xterm" and
  8937 "xterm_color" are still available for direct use in a suitable
  8938 terminal);
  8939 
  8940 
  8941 
  8942 New in Isabelle99-2 (February 2001)
  8943 -----------------------------------
  8944 
  8945 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  8946 
  8947 * HOL: please note that theories in the Library and elsewhere often use the
  8948 new-style (Isar) format; to refer to their theorems in an ML script you must
  8949 bind them to ML identifers by e.g.      val thm_name = thm "thm_name";
  8950 
  8951 * HOL: inductive package no longer splits induction rule aggressively,
  8952 but only as far as specified by the introductions given; the old
  8953 format may be recovered via ML function complete_split_rule or attribute
  8954 'split_rule (complete)';
  8955 
  8956 * HOL: induct renamed to lfp_induct, lfp_Tarski to lfp_unfold,
  8957 gfp_Tarski to gfp_unfold;
  8958 
  8959 * HOL: contrapos, contrapos2 renamed to contrapos_nn, contrapos_pp;
  8960 
  8961 * HOL: infix "dvd" now has priority 50 rather than 70 (because it is a
  8962 relation); infix "^^" has been renamed "``"; infix "``" has been
  8963 renamed "`"; "univalent" has been renamed "single_valued";
  8964 
  8965 * HOL/Real: "rinv" and "hrinv" replaced by overloaded "inverse"
  8966 operation;
  8967 
  8968 * HOLCF: infix "`" has been renamed "$"; the symbol syntax is \<cdot>;
  8969 
  8970 * Isar: 'obtain' no longer declares "that" fact as simp/intro;
  8971 
  8972 * Isar/HOL: method 'induct' now handles non-atomic goals; as a
  8973 consequence, it is no longer monotonic wrt. the local goal context
  8974 (which is now passed through the inductive cases);
  8975 
  8976 * Document preparation: renamed standard symbols \<ll> to \<lless> and
  8977 \<gg> to \<ggreater>;
  8978 
  8979 
  8980 *** Document preparation ***
  8981 
  8982 * \isabellestyle{NAME} selects version of Isabelle output (currently
  8983 available: are "it" for near math-mode best-style output, "sl" for
  8984 slanted text style, and "tt" for plain type-writer; if no
  8985 \isabellestyle command is given, output is according to slanted
  8986 type-writer);
  8987 
  8988 * support sub/super scripts (for single symbols only), input syntax is
  8989 like this: "A\<^sup>*" or "A\<^sup>\<star>";
  8990 
  8991 * some more standard symbols; see Appendix A of the system manual for
  8992 the complete list of symbols defined in isabellesym.sty;
  8993 
  8994 * improved isabelle style files; more abstract symbol implementation
  8995 (should now use \isamath{...} and \isatext{...} in custom symbol
  8996 definitions);
  8997 
  8998 * antiquotation @{goals} and @{subgoals} for output of *dynamic* goals
  8999 state; Note that presentation of goal states does not conform to
  9000 actual human-readable proof documents.  Please do not include goal
  9001 states into document output unless you really know what you are doing!
  9002 
  9003 * proper indentation of antiquoted output with proportional LaTeX
  9004 fonts;
  9005 
  9006 * no_document ML operator temporarily disables LaTeX document
  9007 generation;
  9008 
  9009 * isatool unsymbolize tunes sources for plain ASCII communication;
  9010 
  9011 
  9012 *** Isar ***
  9013 
  9014 * Pure: Isar now suffers initial goal statements to contain unbound
  9015 schematic variables (this does not conform to actual readable proof
  9016 documents, due to unpredictable outcome and non-compositional proof
  9017 checking); users who know what they are doing may use schematic goals
  9018 for Prolog-style synthesis of proven results;
  9019 
  9020 * Pure: assumption method (an implicit finishing) now handles actual
  9021 rules as well;
  9022 
  9023 * Pure: improved 'obtain' --- moved to Pure, insert "that" into
  9024 initial goal, declare "that" only as Pure intro (only for single
  9025 steps); the "that" rule assumption may now be involved in implicit
  9026 finishing, thus ".." becomes a feasible for trivial obtains;
  9027 
  9028 * Pure: default proof step now includes 'intro_classes'; thus trivial
  9029 instance proofs may be performed by "..";
  9030 
  9031 * Pure: ?thesis / ?this / "..." now work for pure meta-level
  9032 statements as well;
  9033 
  9034 * Pure: more robust selection of calculational rules;
  9035 
  9036 * Pure: the builtin notion of 'finished' goal now includes the ==-refl
  9037 rule (as well as the assumption rule);
  9038 
  9039 * Pure: 'thm_deps' command visualizes dependencies of theorems and
  9040 lemmas, using the graph browser tool;
  9041 
  9042 * Pure: predict failure of "show" in interactive mode;
  9043 
  9044 * Pure: 'thms_containing' now takes actual terms as arguments;
  9045 
  9046 * HOL: improved method 'induct' --- now handles non-atomic goals
  9047 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY); tuned error handling;
  9048 
  9049 * HOL: cases and induct rules now provide explicit hints about the
  9050 number of facts to be consumed (0 for "type" and 1 for "set" rules);
  9051 any remaining facts are inserted into the goal verbatim;
  9052 
  9053 * HOL: local contexts (aka cases) may now contain term bindings as
  9054 well; the 'cases' and 'induct' methods new provide a ?case binding for
  9055 the result to be shown in each case;
  9056 
  9057 * HOL: added 'recdef_tc' command;
  9058 
  9059 * isatool convert assists in eliminating legacy ML scripts;
  9060 
  9061 
  9062 *** HOL ***
  9063 
  9064 * HOL/Library: a collection of generic theories to be used together
  9065 with main HOL; the theory loader path already includes this directory
  9066 by default; the following existing theories have been moved here:
  9067 HOL/Induct/Multiset, HOL/Induct/Acc (as Accessible_Part), HOL/While
  9068 (as While_Combinator), HOL/Lex/Prefix (as List_Prefix);
  9069 
  9070 * HOL/Unix: "Some aspects of Unix file-system security", a typical
  9071 modelling and verification task performed in Isabelle/HOL +
  9072 Isabelle/Isar + Isabelle document preparation (by Markus Wenzel).
  9073 
  9074 * HOL/Algebra: special summation operator SUM no longer exists, it has
  9075 been replaced by setsum; infix 'assoc' now has priority 50 (like
  9076 'dvd'); axiom 'one_not_zero' has been moved from axclass 'ring' to
  9077 'domain', this makes the theory consistent with mathematical
  9078 literature;
  9079 
  9080 * HOL basics: added overloaded operations "inverse" and "divide"
  9081 (infix "/"), syntax for generic "abs" operation, generic summation
  9082 operator \<Sum>;
  9083 
  9084 * HOL/typedef: simplified package, provide more useful rules (see also
  9085 HOL/subset.thy);
  9086 
  9087 * HOL/datatype: induction rule for arbitrarily branching datatypes is
  9088 now expressed as a proper nested rule (old-style tactic scripts may
  9089 require atomize_strip_tac to cope with non-atomic premises);
  9090 
  9091 * HOL: renamed theory "Prod" to "Product_Type", renamed "split" rule
  9092 to "split_conv" (old name still available for compatibility);
  9093 
  9094 * HOL: improved concrete syntax for strings (e.g. allows translation
  9095 rules with string literals);
  9096 
  9097 * HOL-Real-Hyperreal: this extends HOL-Real with the hyperreals
  9098  and Fleuriot's mechanization of analysis, including the transcendental
  9099  functions for the reals;
  9100 
  9101 * HOL/Real, HOL/Hyperreal: improved arithmetic simplification;
  9102 
  9103 
  9104 *** CTT ***
  9105 
  9106 * CTT: x-symbol support for Pi, Sigma, -->, : (membership); note that
  9107 "lam" is displayed as TWO lambda-symbols
  9108 
  9109 * CTT: theory Main now available, containing everything (that is, Bool
  9110 and Arith);
  9111 
  9112 
  9113 *** General ***
  9114 
  9115 * Pure: the Simplifier has been implemented properly as a derived rule
  9116 outside of the actual kernel (at last!); the overall performance
  9117 penalty in practical applications is about 50%, while reliability of
  9118 the Isabelle inference kernel has been greatly improved;
  9119 
  9120 * print modes "brackets" and "no_brackets" control output of nested =>
  9121 (types) and ==> (props); the default behaviour is "brackets";
  9122 
  9123 * Provers: fast_tac (and friends) now handle actual object-logic rules
  9124 as assumptions as well;
  9125 
  9126 * system: support Poly/ML 4.0;
  9127 
  9128 * system: isatool install handles KDE version 1 or 2;
  9129 
  9130 
  9131 
  9132 New in Isabelle99-1 (October 2000)
  9133 ----------------------------------
  9134 
  9135 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  9136 
  9137 * HOL: simplification of natural numbers is much changed; to partly
  9138 recover the old behaviour (e.g. to prevent n+n rewriting to #2*n)
  9139 issue the following ML commands:
  9140 
  9141   Delsimprocs Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.cancel_numerals;
  9142   Delsimprocs [Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.combine_numerals];
  9143 
  9144 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions; this is
  9145 controlled by "t.weak_case_cong" for each datatype t;
  9146 
  9147 * HOL: nat_less_induct renamed to less_induct;
  9148 
  9149 * HOL: systematic renaming of the SOME (Eps) rules, may use isatool
  9150 fixsome to patch .thy and .ML sources automatically;
  9151 
  9152   select_equality  -> some_equality
  9153   select_eq_Ex     -> some_eq_ex
  9154   selectI2EX       -> someI2_ex
  9155   selectI2         -> someI2
  9156   selectI          -> someI
  9157   select1_equality -> some1_equality
  9158   Eps_sym_eq       -> some_sym_eq_trivial
  9159   Eps_eq           -> some_eq_trivial
  9160 
  9161 * HOL: exhaust_tac on datatypes superceded by new generic case_tac;
  9162 
  9163 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem binding expand_if (refer to split_if
  9164 instead);
  9165 
  9166 * HOL: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' are now called
  9167 f.simps instead of f.rules;
  9168 
  9169 * HOL: qed_spec_mp now also handles bounded ALL as well;
  9170 
  9171 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded, so the type constraint ":: nat" may
  9172 sometimes be needed;
  9173 
  9174 * HOL: the constant for "f``x" is now "image" rather than "op ``";
  9175 
  9176 * HOL: the constant for "f-``x" is now "vimage" rather than "op -``";
  9177 
  9178 * HOL: the disjoint sum is now "<+>" instead of "Plus"; the cartesian
  9179 product is now "<*>" instead of "Times"; the lexicographic product is
  9180 now "<*lex*>" instead of "**";
  9181 
  9182 * HOL: theory Sexp is now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part
  9183 of main HOL, but was unused); better use HOL's datatype package;
  9184 
  9185 * HOL: removed "symbols" syntax for constant "override" of theory Map;
  9186 the old syntax may be recovered as follows:
  9187 
  9188   syntax (symbols)
  9189     override  :: "('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b)"
  9190       (infixl "\\<oplus>" 100)
  9191 
  9192 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
  9193 
  9194 * HOL/ML: even fewer consts are declared as global (see theories Ord,
  9195 Lfp, Gfp, WF); this only affects ML packages that refer to const names
  9196 internally;
  9197 
  9198 * HOL and ZF: syntax for quotienting wrt an equivalence relation
  9199 changed from A/r to A//r;
  9200 
  9201 * ZF: new treatment of arithmetic (nat & int) may break some old
  9202 proofs;
  9203 
  9204 * Isar: renamed some attributes (RS -> THEN, simplify -> simplified,
  9205 rulify -> rule_format, elimify -> elim_format, ...);
  9206 
  9207 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
  9208 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (in most cases, one
  9209 should have to change intro!! to intro? only); replaced "delrule" by
  9210 "rule del";
  9211 
  9212 * Isar/HOL: renamed "intrs" to "intros" in inductive definitions;
  9213 
  9214 * Provers: strengthened force_tac by using new first_best_tac;
  9215 
  9216 * LaTeX document preparation: several changes of isabelle.sty (see
  9217 lib/texinputs);
  9218 
  9219 
  9220 *** Document preparation ***
  9221 
  9222 * formal comments (text blocks etc.) in new-style theories may now
  9223 contain antiquotations of thm/prop/term/typ/text to be presented
  9224 according to latex print mode; concrete syntax is like this:
  9225 @{term[show_types] "f(x) = a + x"};
  9226 
  9227 * isatool mkdir provides easy setup of Isabelle session directories,
  9228 including proper document sources;
  9229 
  9230 * generated LaTeX sources are now deleted after successful run
  9231 (isatool document -c); may retain a copy somewhere else via -D option
  9232 of isatool usedir;
  9233 
  9234 * isatool usedir -D now lets isatool latex -o sty update the Isabelle
  9235 style files, achieving self-contained LaTeX sources and simplifying
  9236 LaTeX debugging;
  9237 
  9238 * old-style theories now produce (crude) LaTeX output as well;
  9239 
  9240 * browser info session directories are now self-contained (may be put
  9241 on WWW server seperately); improved graphs of nested sessions; removed
  9242 graph for 'all sessions';
  9243 
  9244 * several improvements in isabelle style files; \isabellestyle{it}
  9245 produces fake math mode output; \isamarkupheader is now \section by
  9246 default; see lib/texinputs/isabelle.sty etc.;
  9247 
  9248 
  9249 *** Isar ***
  9250 
  9251 * Isar/Pure: local results and corresponding term bindings are now
  9252 subject to Hindley-Milner polymorphism (similar to ML); this
  9253 accommodates incremental type-inference very nicely;
  9254 
  9255 * Isar/Pure: new derived language element 'obtain' supports
  9256 generalized existence reasoning;
  9257 
  9258 * Isar/Pure: new calculational elements 'moreover' and 'ultimately'
  9259 support accumulation of results, without applying any rules yet;
  9260 useful to collect intermediate results without explicit name
  9261 references, and for use with transitivity rules with more than 2
  9262 premises;
  9263 
  9264 * Isar/Pure: scalable support for case-analysis type proofs: new
  9265 'case' language element refers to local contexts symbolically, as
  9266 produced by certain proof methods; internally, case names are attached
  9267 to theorems as "tags";
  9268 
  9269 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'hide' removes declarations from
  9270 class/type/const name spaces;
  9271 
  9272 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'defs' supports option "(overloaded)" to
  9273 indicate potential overloading;
  9274 
  9275 * Isar/Pure: changed syntax of local blocks from {{ }} to { };
  9276 
  9277 * Isar/Pure: syntax of sorts made 'inner', i.e. have to write
  9278 "{a,b,c}" instead of {a,b,c};
  9279 
  9280 * Isar/Pure now provides its own version of intro/elim/dest
  9281 attributes; useful for building new logics, but beware of confusion
  9282 with the version in Provers/classical;
  9283 
  9284 * Isar/Pure: the local context of (non-atomic) goals is provided via
  9285 case name 'antecedent';
  9286 
  9287 * Isar/Pure: removed obsolete 'transfer' attribute (transfer of thms
  9288 to the current context is now done automatically);
  9289 
  9290 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'method_setup' provides a simple interface
  9291 for definining proof methods in ML;
  9292 
  9293 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
  9294 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  9295 most cases, one should have to change intro!! to intro? only);
  9296 replaced "delrule" by "rule del";
  9297 
  9298 * Isar/Provers: new 'hypsubst' method, plain 'subst' method and
  9299 'symmetric' attribute (the latter supercedes [RS sym]);
  9300 
  9301 * Isar/Provers: splitter support (via 'split' attribute and 'simp'
  9302 method modifier); 'simp' method: 'only:' modifier removes loopers as
  9303 well (including splits);
  9304 
  9305 * Isar/Provers: Simplifier and Classical methods now support all kind
  9306 of modifiers used in the past, including 'cong', 'iff', etc.
  9307 
  9308 * Isar/Provers: added 'fastsimp' and 'clarsimp' methods (combination
  9309 of Simplifier and Classical reasoner);
  9310 
  9311 * Isar/HOL: new proof method 'cases' and improved version of 'induct'
  9312 now support named cases; major packages (inductive, datatype, primrec,
  9313 recdef) support case names and properly name parameters;
  9314 
  9315 * Isar/HOL: new transitivity rules for substitution in inequalities --
  9316 monotonicity conditions are extracted to be proven at end of
  9317 calculations;
  9318 
  9319 * Isar/HOL: removed 'case_split' thm binding, should use 'cases' proof
  9320 method anyway;
  9321 
  9322 * Isar/HOL: removed old expand_if = split_if; theorems if_splits =
  9323 split_if split_if_asm; datatype package provides theorems foo.splits =
  9324 foo.split foo.split_asm for each datatype;
  9325 
  9326 * Isar/HOL: tuned inductive package, rename "intrs" to "intros"
  9327 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY), emulation of mk_cases feature for proof
  9328 scripts: new 'inductive_cases' command and 'ind_cases' method; (Note:
  9329 use "(cases (simplified))" method in proper proof texts);
  9330 
  9331 * Isar/HOL: added global 'arith_split' attribute for 'arith' method;
  9332 
  9333 * Isar: names of theorems etc. may be natural numbers as well;
  9334 
  9335 * Isar: 'pr' command: optional arguments for goals_limit and
  9336 ProofContext.prems_limit; no longer prints theory contexts, but only
  9337 proof states;
  9338 
  9339 * Isar: diagnostic commands 'pr', 'thm', 'prop', 'term', 'typ' admit
  9340 additional print modes to be specified; e.g. "pr(latex)" will print
  9341 proof state according to the Isabelle LaTeX style;
  9342 
  9343 * Isar: improved support for emulating tactic scripts, including proof
  9344 methods 'rule_tac' etc., 'cut_tac', 'thin_tac', 'subgoal_tac',
  9345 'rename_tac', 'rotate_tac', 'tactic', and 'case_tac' / 'induct_tac'
  9346 (for HOL datatypes);
  9347 
  9348 * Isar: simplified (more robust) goal selection of proof methods: 1st
  9349 goal, all goals, or explicit goal specifier (tactic emulation); thus
  9350 'proof method scripts' have to be in depth-first order;
  9351 
  9352 * Isar: tuned 'let' syntax: replaced 'as' keyword by 'and';
  9353 
  9354 * Isar: removed 'help' command, which hasn't been too helpful anyway;
  9355 should instead use individual commands for printing items
  9356 (print_commands, print_methods etc.);
  9357 
  9358 * Isar: added 'nothing' --- the empty list of theorems;
  9359 
  9360 
  9361 *** HOL ***
  9362 
  9363 * HOL/MicroJava: formalization of a fragment of Java, together with a
  9364 corresponding virtual machine and a specification of its bytecode
  9365 verifier and a lightweight bytecode verifier, including proofs of
  9366 type-safety; by Gerwin Klein, Tobias Nipkow, David von Oheimb, and
  9367 Cornelia Pusch (see also the homepage of project Bali at
  9368 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Bali/);
  9369 
  9370 * HOL/Algebra: new theory of rings and univariate polynomials, by
  9371 Clemens Ballarin;
  9372 
  9373 * HOL/NumberTheory: fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, Chinese
  9374 Remainder Theorem, Fermat/Euler Theorem, Wilson's Theorem, by Thomas M
  9375 Rasmussen;
  9376 
  9377 * HOL/Lattice: fundamental concepts of lattice theory and order
  9378 structures, including duals, properties of bounds versus algebraic
  9379 laws, lattice operations versus set-theoretic ones, the Knaster-Tarski
  9380 Theorem for complete lattices etc.; may also serve as a demonstration
  9381 for abstract algebraic reasoning using axiomatic type classes, and
  9382 mathematics-style proof in Isabelle/Isar; by Markus Wenzel;
  9383 
  9384 * HOL/Prolog: a (bare-bones) implementation of Lambda-Prolog, by David
  9385 von Oheimb;
  9386 
  9387 * HOL/IMPP: extension of IMP with local variables and mutually
  9388 recursive procedures, by David von Oheimb;
  9389 
  9390 * HOL/Lambda: converted into new-style theory and document;
  9391 
  9392 * HOL/ex/Multiquote: example of multiple nested quotations and
  9393 anti-quotations -- basically a generalized version of de-Bruijn
  9394 representation; very useful in avoiding lifting of operations;
  9395 
  9396 * HOL/record: added general record equality rule to simpset; fixed
  9397 select-update simplification procedure to handle extended records as
  9398 well; admit "r" as field name;
  9399 
  9400 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded over the new sort "zero", allowing its use with
  9401 other numeric types and also as the identity of groups, rings, etc.;
  9402 
  9403 * HOL: new axclass plus_ac0 for addition with the AC-laws and 0 as identity.
  9404 Types nat and int belong to this axclass;
  9405 
  9406 * HOL: greatly improved simplification involving numerals of type nat, int, real:
  9407    (i + #8 + j) = Suc k simplifies to  #7 + (i + j) = k
  9408    i*j + k + j*#3*i     simplifies to  #4*(i*j) + k
  9409   two terms #m*u and #n*u are replaced by #(m+n)*u
  9410     (where #m, #n and u can implicitly be 1; this is simproc combine_numerals)
  9411   and the term/formula #m*u+x ~~ #n*u+y simplifies simplifies to #(m-n)+x ~~ y
  9412     or x ~~ #(n-m)+y, where ~~ is one of = < <= or - (simproc cancel_numerals);
  9413 
  9414 * HOL: meson_tac is available (previously in ex/meson.ML); it is a
  9415 powerful prover for predicate logic but knows nothing of clasets; see
  9416 ex/mesontest.ML and ex/mesontest2.ML for example applications;
  9417 
  9418 * HOL: new version of "case_tac" subsumes both boolean case split and
  9419 "exhaust_tac" on datatypes; INCOMPATIBILITY: exhaust_tac no longer
  9420 exists, may define val exhaust_tac = case_tac for ad-hoc portability;
  9421 
  9422 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions: only the
  9423 selector expression is simplified, but not the remaining arms; to
  9424 enable full simplification of case-expressions for datatype t, you may
  9425 remove t.weak_case_cong from the simpset, either globally (Delcongs
  9426 [thm"t.weak_case_cong"];) or locally (delcongs [...]).
  9427 
  9428 * HOL/recdef: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' for
  9429 function 'f' are now called f.simps instead of f.rules; if all
  9430 termination conditions are proved automatically, these simplification
  9431 rules are added to the simpset, as in primrec; rules may be named
  9432 individually as well, resulting in a separate list of theorems for
  9433 each equation;
  9434 
  9435 * HOL/While is a new theory that provides a while-combinator. It
  9436 permits the definition of tail-recursive functions without the
  9437 provision of a termination measure. The latter is necessary once the
  9438 invariant proof rule for while is applied.
  9439 
  9440 * HOL: new (overloaded) notation for the set of elements below/above
  9441 some element: {..u}, {..u(}, {l..}, {)l..}. See theory SetInterval.
  9442 
  9443 * HOL: theorems impI, allI, ballI bound as "strip";
  9444 
  9445 * HOL: new tactic induct_thm_tac: thm -> string -> int -> tactic
  9446 induct_tac th "x1 ... xn" expects th to have a conclusion of the form
  9447 P v1 ... vn and abbreviates res_inst_tac [("v1","x1"),...,("vn","xn")] th;
  9448 
  9449 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
  9450 
  9451 * HOL: theory Sexp now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part of
  9452 main HOL, but was unused);
  9453 
  9454 * HOL: fewer consts declared as global (e.g. have to refer to
  9455 "Lfp.lfp" instead of "lfp" internally; affects ML packages only);
  9456 
  9457 * HOL: tuned AST representation of nested pairs, avoiding bogus output
  9458 in case of overlap with user translations (e.g. judgements over
  9459 tuples); (note that the underlying logical represenation is still
  9460 bogus);
  9461 
  9462 
  9463 *** ZF ***
  9464 
  9465 * ZF: simplification automatically cancels common terms in arithmetic
  9466 expressions over nat and int;
  9467 
  9468 * ZF: new treatment of nat to minimize type-checking: all operators
  9469 coerce their operands to a natural number using the function natify,
  9470 making the algebraic laws unconditional;
  9471 
  9472 * ZF: as above, for int: operators coerce their operands to an integer
  9473 using the function intify;
  9474 
  9475 * ZF: the integer library now contains many of the usual laws for the
  9476 orderings, including $<=, and monotonicity laws for $+ and $*;
  9477 
  9478 * ZF: new example ZF/ex/NatSum to demonstrate integer arithmetic
  9479 simplification;
  9480 
  9481 * FOL and ZF: AddIffs now available, giving theorems of the form P<->Q
  9482 to the simplifier and classical reasoner simultaneously;
  9483 
  9484 
  9485 *** General ***
  9486 
  9487 * Provers: blast_tac now handles actual object-logic rules as
  9488 assumptions; note that auto_tac uses blast_tac internally as well;
  9489 
  9490 * Provers: new functions rulify/rulify_no_asm: thm -> thm for turning
  9491 outer -->/All/Ball into ==>/!!; qed_spec_mp now uses rulify_no_asm;
  9492 
  9493 * Provers: delrules now handles destruct rules as well (no longer need
  9494 explicit make_elim);
  9495 
  9496 * Provers: Blast_tac now warns of and ignores "weak elimination rules" e.g.
  9497   [| inj ?f;          ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
  9498 use instead the strong form,
  9499   [| inj ?f; ~ ?W ==> ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
  9500 in HOL, FOL and ZF the function cla_make_elim will create such rules
  9501 from destruct-rules;
  9502 
  9503 * Provers: Simplifier.easy_setup provides a fast path to basic
  9504 Simplifier setup for new object-logics;
  9505 
  9506 * Pure: AST translation rules no longer require constant head on LHS;
  9507 
  9508 * Pure: improved name spaces: ambiguous output is qualified; support
  9509 for hiding of names;
  9510 
  9511 * system: smart setup of canonical ML_HOME, ISABELLE_INTERFACE, and
  9512 XSYMBOL_HOME; no longer need to do manual configuration in most
  9513 situations;
  9514 
  9515 * system: compression of ML heaps images may now be controlled via -c
  9516 option of isabelle and isatool usedir (currently only observed by
  9517 Poly/ML);
  9518 
  9519 * system: isatool installfonts may handle X-Symbol fonts as well (very
  9520 useful for remote X11);
  9521 
  9522 * system: provide TAGS file for Isabelle sources;
  9523 
  9524 * ML: infix 'OF' is a version of 'MRS' with more appropriate argument
  9525 order;
  9526 
  9527 * ML: renamed flags Syntax.trace_norm_ast to Syntax.trace_ast; global
  9528 timing flag supersedes proof_timing and Toplevel.trace;
  9529 
  9530 * ML: new combinators |>> and |>>> for incremental transformations
  9531 with secondary results (e.g. certain theory extensions):
  9532 
  9533 * ML: PureThy.add_defs gets additional argument to indicate potential
  9534 overloading (usually false);
  9535 
  9536 * ML: PureThy.add_thms/add_axioms/add_defs now return theorems as
  9537 results;
  9538 
  9539 
  9540 
  9541 New in Isabelle99 (October 1999)
  9542 --------------------------------
  9543 
  9544 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  9545 
  9546 * HOL: The THEN and ELSE parts of conditional expressions (if P then x else y)
  9547 are no longer simplified.  (This allows the simplifier to unfold recursive
  9548 functional programs.)  To restore the old behaviour, declare
  9549 
  9550     Delcongs [if_weak_cong];
  9551 
  9552 * HOL: Removed the obsolete syntax "Compl A"; use -A for set
  9553 complement;
  9554 
  9555 * HOL: the predicate "inj" is now defined by translation to "inj_on";
  9556 
  9557 * HOL/datatype: mutual_induct_tac no longer exists --
  9558   use induct_tac "x_1 ... x_n" instead of mutual_induct_tac ["x_1", ..., "x_n"]
  9559 
  9560 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
  9561 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
  9562 
  9563 * ZF: The con_defs part of an inductive definition may no longer refer
  9564 to constants declared in the same theory;
  9565 
  9566 * HOL, ZF: the function mk_cases, generated by the inductive
  9567 definition package, has lost an argument.  To simplify its result, it
  9568 uses the default simpset instead of a supplied list of theorems.
  9569 
  9570 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
  9571 
  9572 * Simplifier: the type of the infix ML functions
  9573         setSSolver addSSolver setSolver addSolver
  9574 is now  simpset * solver -> simpset  where `solver' is a new abstract type
  9575 for packaging solvers. A solver is created via
  9576         mk_solver: string -> (thm list -> int -> tactic) -> solver
  9577 where the string argument is only a comment.
  9578 
  9579 
  9580 *** Proof tools ***
  9581 
  9582 * Provers/Arith/fast_lin_arith.ML contains a functor for creating a
  9583 decision procedure for linear arithmetic. Currently it is used for
  9584 types `nat', `int', and `real' in HOL (see below); it can, should and
  9585 will be instantiated for other types and logics as well.
  9586 
  9587 * The simplifier now accepts rewrite rules with flexible heads, eg
  9588      hom ?f ==> ?f(?x+?y) = ?f ?x + ?f ?y
  9589   They are applied like any rule with a non-pattern lhs, i.e. by first-order
  9590   matching.
  9591 
  9592 
  9593 *** General ***
  9594 
  9595 * New Isabelle/Isar subsystem provides an alternative to traditional
  9596 tactical theorem proving; together with the ProofGeneral/isar user
  9597 interface it offers an interactive environment for developing human
  9598 readable proof documents (Isar == Intelligible semi-automated
  9599 reasoning); for further information see isatool doc isar-ref,
  9600 src/HOL/Isar_examples and http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Isar/
  9601 
  9602 * improved and simplified presentation of theories: better HTML markup
  9603 (including colors), graph views in several sizes; isatool usedir now
  9604 provides a proper interface for user theories (via -P option); actual
  9605 document preparation based on (PDF)LaTeX is available as well (for
  9606 new-style theories only); see isatool doc system for more information;
  9607 
  9608 * native support for Proof General, both for classic Isabelle and
  9609 Isabelle/Isar;
  9610 
  9611 * ML function thm_deps visualizes dependencies of theorems and lemmas,
  9612 using the graph browser tool;
  9613 
  9614 * Isabelle manuals now also available as PDF;
  9615 
  9616 * theory loader rewritten from scratch (may not be fully
  9617 bug-compatible); old loadpath variable has been replaced by show_path,
  9618 add_path, del_path, reset_path functions; new operations such as
  9619 update_thy, touch_thy, remove_thy, use/update_thy_only (see also
  9620 isatool doc ref);
  9621 
  9622 * improved isatool install: option -k creates KDE application icon,
  9623 option -p DIR installs standalone binaries;
  9624 
  9625 * added ML_PLATFORM setting (useful for cross-platform installations);
  9626 more robust handling of platform specific ML images for SML/NJ;
  9627 
  9628 * the settings environment is now statically scoped, i.e. it is never
  9629 created again in sub-processes invoked from isabelle, isatool, or
  9630 Isabelle;
  9631 
  9632 * path element specification '~~' refers to '$ISABELLE_HOME';
  9633 
  9634 * in locales, the "assumes" and "defines" parts may be omitted if
  9635 empty;
  9636 
  9637 * new print_mode "xsymbols" for extended symbol support (e.g. genuine
  9638 long arrows);
  9639 
  9640 * new print_mode "HTML";
  9641 
  9642 * new flag show_tags controls display of tags of theorems (which are
  9643 basically just comments that may be attached by some tools);
  9644 
  9645 * Isamode 2.6 requires patch to accomodate change of Isabelle font
  9646 mode and goal output format:
  9647 
  9648 diff -r Isamode-2.6/elisp/isa-load.el Isamode/elisp/isa-load.el
  9649 244c244
  9650 <       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-msymbols" logic-name)
  9651 ---
  9652 >       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-misabelle_font" "-msymbols" logic-name)
  9653 diff -r Isabelle-2.6/elisp/isa-proofstate.el Isamode/elisp/isa-proofstate.el
  9654 181c181
  9655 < (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+$"
  9656 ---
  9657 > (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+"
  9658 
  9659 * function bind_thms stores lists of theorems (cf. bind_thm);
  9660 
  9661 * new shorthand tactics ftac, eatac, datac, fatac;
  9662 
  9663 * qed (and friends) now accept "" as result name; in that case the
  9664 theorem is not stored, but proper checks and presentation of the
  9665 result still apply;
  9666 
  9667 * theorem database now also indexes constants "Trueprop", "all",
  9668 "==>", "=="; thus thms_containing, findI etc. may retrieve more rules;
  9669 
  9670

  9672 
  9673 ** HOL arithmetic **
  9674 
  9675 * There are now decision procedures for linear arithmetic over nat and
  9676 int:
  9677 
  9678 1. arith_tac copes with arbitrary formulae involving `=', `<', `<=',
  9679 `+', `-', `Suc', `min', `max' and numerical constants; other subterms
  9680 are treated as atomic; subformulae not involving type `nat' or `int'
  9681 are ignored; quantified subformulae are ignored unless they are
  9682 positive universal or negative existential. The tactic has to be
  9683 invoked by hand and can be a little bit slow. In particular, the
  9684 running time is exponential in the number of occurrences of `min' and
  9685 `max', and `-' on `nat'.
  9686 
  9687 2. fast_arith_tac is a cut-down version of arith_tac: it only takes
  9688 (negated) (in)equalities among the premises and the conclusion into
  9689 account (i.e. no compound formulae) and does not know about `min' and
  9690 `max', and `-' on `nat'. It is fast and is used automatically by the
  9691 simplifier.
  9692 
  9693 NB: At the moment, these decision procedures do not cope with mixed
  9694 nat/int formulae where the two parts interact, such as `m < n ==>
  9695 int(m) < int(n)'.
  9696 
  9697 * HOL/Numeral provides a generic theory of numerals (encoded
  9698 efficiently as bit strings); setup for types nat/int/real is in place;
  9699 INCOMPATIBILITY: since numeral syntax is now polymorphic, rather than
  9700 int, existing theories and proof scripts may require a few additional
  9701 type constraints;
  9702 
  9703 * integer division and remainder can now be performed on constant
  9704 arguments;
  9705 
  9706 * many properties of integer multiplication, division and remainder
  9707 are now available;
  9708 
  9709 * An interface to the Stanford Validity Checker (SVC) is available through the
  9710 tactic svc_tac.  Propositional tautologies and theorems of linear arithmetic
  9711 are proved automatically.  SVC must be installed separately, and its results
  9712 must be TAKEN ON TRUST (Isabelle does not check the proofs, but tags any
  9713 invocation of the underlying oracle).  For SVC see
  9714   http://verify.stanford.edu/SVC
  9715 
  9716 * IsaMakefile: the HOL-Real target now builds an actual image;
  9717 
  9718 
  9719 ** HOL misc **
  9720 
  9721 * HOL/Real/HahnBanach: the Hahn-Banach theorem for real vector spaces
  9722 (in Isabelle/Isar) -- by Gertrud Bauer;
  9723 
  9724 * HOL/BCV: generic model of bytecode verification, i.e. data-flow
  9725 analysis for assembly languages with subtypes;
  9726 
  9727 * HOL/TLA (Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions): major reorganization
  9728 -- avoids syntactic ambiguities and treats state, transition, and
  9729 temporal levels more uniformly; introduces INCOMPATIBILITIES due to
  9730 changed syntax and (many) tactics;
  9731 
  9732 * HOL/inductive: Now also handles more general introduction rules such
  9733   as "ALL y. (y, x) : r --> y : acc r ==> x : acc r"; monotonicity
  9734   theorems are now maintained within the theory (maintained via the
  9735   "mono" attribute);
  9736 
  9737 * HOL/datatype: Now also handles arbitrarily branching datatypes
  9738   (using function types) such as
  9739 
  9740   datatype 'a tree = Atom 'a | Branch "nat => 'a tree"
  9741 
  9742 * HOL/record: record_simproc (part of the default simpset) takes care
  9743 of selectors applied to updated records; record_split_tac is no longer
  9744 part of the default claset; update_defs may now be removed from the
  9745 simpset in many cases; COMPATIBILITY: old behavior achieved by
  9746 
  9747   claset_ref () := claset() addSWrapper record_split_wrapper;
  9748   Delsimprocs [record_simproc]
  9749 
  9750 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
  9751 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
  9752 
  9753 * HOL/recdef (TFL): 'congs' syntax now expects comma separated list of theorem
  9754 names rather than an ML expression;
  9755 
  9756 * HOL/defer_recdef (TFL): like recdef but the well-founded relation can be
  9757 supplied later.  Program schemes can be defined, such as
  9758     "While B C s = (if B s then While B C (C s) else s)"
  9759 where the well-founded relation can be chosen after B and C have been given.
  9760 
  9761 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
  9762 INCOMPATIBILITY: while [] and infix # syntax is still there, of
  9763 course, ML tools referring to List.list.op # etc. have to be adapted;
  9764 
  9765 * HOL_quantifiers flag superseded by "HOL" print mode, which is
  9766 disabled by default; run isabelle with option -m HOL to get back to
  9767 the original Gordon/HOL-style output;
  9768 
  9769 * HOL/Ord.thy: new bounded quantifier syntax (input only): ALL x<y. P,
  9770 ALL x<=y. P, EX x<y. P, EX x<=y. P;
  9771 
  9772 * HOL basic syntax simplified (more orthogonal): all variants of
  9773 All/Ex now support plain / symbolic / HOL notation; plain syntax for
  9774 Eps operator is provided as well: "SOME x. P[x]";
  9775 
  9776 * HOL/Sum.thy: sum_case has been moved to HOL/Datatype;
  9777 
  9778 * HOL/Univ.thy: infix syntax <*>, <+>, <**>, <+> eliminated and made
  9779 thus available for user theories;
  9780 
  9781 * HOLCF/IOA/Sequents: renamed 'Cons' to 'Consq' to avoid clash with
  9782 HOL/List; hardly an INCOMPATIBILITY since '>>' syntax is used all the
  9783 time;
  9784 
  9785 * HOL: new tactic smp_tac: int -> int -> tactic, which applies spec
  9786 several times and then mp;
  9787 
  9788 
  9789 *** LK ***
  9790 
  9791 * the notation <<...>> is now available as a notation for sequences of
  9792 formulas;
  9793 
  9794 * the simplifier is now installed
  9795 
  9796 * the axiom system has been generalized (thanks to Soren Heilmann)
  9797 
  9798 * the classical reasoner now has a default rule database
  9799 
  9800 
  9801 *** ZF ***
  9802 
  9803 * new primrec section allows primitive recursive functions to be given
  9804 directly (as in HOL) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
  9805 
  9806 * new tactics induct_tac and exhaust_tac for induction (or case
  9807 analysis) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
  9808 
  9809 * the datatype declaration of type T now defines the recursor T_rec;
  9810 
  9811 * simplification automatically does freeness reasoning for datatype
  9812 constructors;
  9813 
  9814 * automatic type-inference, with AddTCs command to insert new
  9815 type-checking rules;
  9816 
  9817 * datatype introduction rules are now added as Safe Introduction rules
  9818 to the claset;
  9819 
  9820 * the syntax "if P then x else y" is now available in addition to
  9821 if(P,x,y);
  9822 
  9823 
  9824 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
  9825 
  9826 * tuned simplifier trace output; new flag debug_simp;
  9827 
  9828 * structures Vartab / Termtab (instances of TableFun) offer efficient
  9829 tables indexed by indexname_ord / term_ord (compatible with aconv);
  9830 
  9831 * AxClass.axclass_tac lost the theory argument;
  9832 
  9833 * tuned current_goals_markers semantics: begin / end goal avoids
  9834 printing empty lines;
  9835 
  9836 * removed prs and prs_fn hook, which was broken because it did not
  9837 include \n in its semantics, forcing writeln to add one
  9838 uncoditionally; replaced prs_fn by writeln_fn; consider std_output:
  9839 string -> unit if you really want to output text without newline;
  9840 
  9841 * Symbol.output subject to print mode; INCOMPATIBILITY: defaults to
  9842 plain output, interface builders may have to enable 'isabelle_font'
  9843 mode to get Isabelle font glyphs as before;
  9844 
  9845 * refined token_translation interface; INCOMPATIBILITY: output length
  9846 now of type real instead of int;
  9847 
  9848 * theory loader actions may be traced via new ThyInfo.add_hook
  9849 interface (see src/Pure/Thy/thy_info.ML); example application: keep
  9850 your own database of information attached to *whole* theories -- as
  9851 opposed to intra-theory data slots offered via TheoryDataFun;
  9852 
  9853 * proper handling of dangling sort hypotheses (at last!);
  9854 Thm.strip_shyps and Drule.strip_shyps_warning take care of removing
  9855 extra sort hypotheses that can be witnessed from the type signature;
  9856 the force_strip_shyps flag is gone, any remaining shyps are simply
  9857 left in the theorem (with a warning issued by strip_shyps_warning);
  9858 
  9859 
  9860 
  9861 New in Isabelle98-1 (October 1998)
  9862 ----------------------------------
  9863 
  9864 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  9865 
  9866 * several changes of automated proof tools;
  9867 
  9868 * HOL: major changes to the inductive and datatype packages, including
  9869 some minor incompatibilities of theory syntax;
  9870 
  9871 * HOL: renamed r^-1 to 'converse' from 'inverse'; 'inj_onto' is now
  9872 called `inj_on';
  9873 
  9874 * HOL: removed duplicate thms in Arith:
  9875   less_imp_add_less  should be replaced by  trans_less_add1
  9876   le_imp_add_le      should be replaced by  trans_le_add1
  9877 
  9878 * HOL: unary minus is now overloaded (new type constraints may be
  9879 required);
  9880 
  9881 * HOL and ZF: unary minus for integers is now #- instead of #~.  In
  9882 ZF, expressions such as n#-1 must be changed to n#- 1, since #-1 is
  9883 now taken as an integer constant.
  9884 
  9885 * Pure: ML function 'theory_of' renamed to 'theory';
  9886 
  9887 
  9888 *** Proof tools ***
  9889 
  9890 * Simplifier:
  9891   1. Asm_full_simp_tac is now more aggressive.
  9892      1. It will sometimes reorient premises if that increases their power to
  9893         simplify.
  9894      2. It does no longer proceed strictly from left to right but may also
  9895         rotate premises to achieve further simplification.
  9896      For compatibility reasons there is now Asm_lr_simp_tac which is like the
  9897      old Asm_full_simp_tac in that it does not rotate premises.
  9898   2. The simplifier now knows a little bit about nat-arithmetic.
  9899 
  9900 * Classical reasoner: wrapper mechanism for the classical reasoner now
  9901 allows for selected deletion of wrappers, by introduction of names for
  9902 wrapper functionals.  This implies that addbefore, addSbefore,
  9903 addaltern, and addSaltern now take a pair (name, tactic) as argument,
  9904 and that adding two tactics with the same name overwrites the first
  9905 one (emitting a warning).
  9906   type wrapper = (int -> tactic) -> (int -> tactic)
  9907   setWrapper, setSWrapper, compWrapper and compSWrapper are replaced by
  9908   addWrapper, addSWrapper: claset * (string * wrapper) -> claset
  9909   delWrapper, delSWrapper: claset *  string            -> claset
  9910   getWrapper is renamed to appWrappers, getSWrapper to appSWrappers;
  9911 
  9912 * Classical reasoner: addbefore/addSbefore now have APPEND/ORELSE
  9913 semantics; addbefore now affects only the unsafe part of step_tac
  9914 etc.; this affects addss/auto_tac/force_tac, so EXISTING PROOFS MAY
  9915 FAIL, but proofs should be fixable easily, e.g. by replacing Auto_tac
  9916 by Force_tac;
  9917 
  9918 * Classical reasoner: setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to
  9919 compWrapper; added safe wrapper (and access functions for it);
  9920 
  9921 * HOL/split_all_tac is now much faster and fails if there is nothing
  9922 to split.  Some EXISTING PROOFS MAY REQUIRE ADAPTION because the order
  9923 and the names of the automatically generated variables have changed.
  9924 split_all_tac has moved within claset() from unsafe wrappers to safe
  9925 wrappers, which means that !!-bound variables are split much more
  9926 aggressively, and safe_tac and clarify_tac now split such variables.
  9927 If this splitting is not appropriate, use delSWrapper "split_all_tac".
  9928 Note: the same holds for record_split_tac, which does the job of
  9929 split_all_tac for record fields.
  9930 
  9931 * HOL/Simplifier: Rewrite rules for case distinctions can now be added
  9932 permanently to the default simpset using Addsplits just like
  9933 Addsimps. They can be removed via Delsplits just like
  9934 Delsimps. Lower-case versions are also available.
  9935 
  9936 * HOL/Simplifier: The rule split_if is now part of the default
  9937 simpset. This means that the simplifier will eliminate all occurrences
  9938 of if-then-else in the conclusion of a goal. To prevent this, you can
  9939 either remove split_if completely from the default simpset by
  9940 `Delsplits [split_if]' or remove it in a specific call of the
  9941 simplifier using `... delsplits [split_if]'.  You can also add/delete
  9942 other case splitting rules to/from the default simpset: every datatype
  9943 generates suitable rules `split_t_case' and `split_t_case_asm' (where
  9944 t is the name of the datatype).
  9945 
  9946 * Classical reasoner / Simplifier combination: new force_tac (and
  9947 derivatives Force_tac, force) combines rewriting and classical
  9948 reasoning (and whatever other tools) similarly to auto_tac, but is
  9949 aimed to solve the given subgoal completely.
  9950 
  9951 
  9952 *** General ***
  9953 
  9954 * new top-level commands `Goal' and `Goalw' that improve upon `goal'
  9955 and `goalw': the theory is no longer needed as an explicit argument -
  9956 the current theory context is used; assumptions are no longer returned
  9957 at the ML-level unless one of them starts with ==> or !!; it is
  9958 recommended to convert to these new commands using isatool fixgoal
  9959 (backup your sources first!);
  9960 
  9961 * new top-level commands 'thm' and 'thms' for retrieving theorems from
  9962 the current theory context, and 'theory' to lookup stored theories;
  9963 
  9964 * new theory section 'locale' for declaring constants, assumptions and
  9965 definitions that have local scope;
  9966 
  9967 * new theory section 'nonterminals' for purely syntactic types;
  9968 
  9969 * new theory section 'setup' for generic ML setup functions
  9970 (e.g. package initialization);
  9971 
  9972 * the distribution now includes Isabelle icons: see
  9973 lib/logo/isabelle-{small,tiny}.xpm;
  9974 
  9975 * isatool install - install binaries with absolute references to
  9976 ISABELLE_HOME/bin;
  9977 
  9978 * isatool logo -- create instances of the Isabelle logo (as EPS);
  9979 
  9980 * print mode 'emacs' reserved for Isamode;
  9981 
  9982 * support multiple print (ast) translations per constant name;
  9983 
  9984 * theorems involving oracles are now printed with a suffixed [!];
  9985 
  9986 
  9987 *** HOL ***
  9988 
  9989 * there is now a tutorial on Isabelle/HOL (do 'isatool doc tutorial');
  9990 
  9991 * HOL/inductive package reorganized and improved: now supports mutual
  9992 definitions such as
  9993 
  9994   inductive EVEN ODD
  9995     intrs
  9996       null "0 : EVEN"
  9997       oddI "n : EVEN ==> Suc n : ODD"
  9998       evenI "n : ODD ==> Suc n : EVEN"
  9999 
 10000 new theorem list "elims" contains an elimination rule for each of the
 10001 recursive sets; inductive definitions now handle disjunctive premises
 10002 correctly (also ZF);
 10003 
 10004 INCOMPATIBILITIES: requires Inductive as an ancestor; component
 10005 "mutual_induct" no longer exists - the induction rule is always
 10006 contained in "induct";
 10007 
 10008 
 10009 * HOL/datatype package re-implemented and greatly improved: now
 10010 supports mutually recursive datatypes such as
 10011 
 10012   datatype
 10013     'a aexp = IF_THEN_ELSE ('a bexp) ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 10014             | SUM ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 10015             | DIFF ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 10016             | NUM 'a
 10017   and
 10018     'a bexp = LESS ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 10019             | AND ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
 10020             | OR ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
 10021 
 10022 as well as indirectly recursive datatypes such as
 10023 
 10024   datatype
 10025     ('a, 'b) term = Var 'a
 10026                   | App 'b ((('a, 'b) term) list)
 10027 
 10028 The new tactic  mutual_induct_tac [<var_1>, ..., <var_n>] i  performs
 10029 induction on mutually / indirectly recursive datatypes.
 10030 
 10031 Primrec equations are now stored in theory and can be accessed via
 10032 <function_name>.simps.
 10033 
 10034 INCOMPATIBILITIES:
 10035 
 10036   - Theories using datatypes must now have theory Datatype as an
 10037     ancestor.
 10038   - The specific <typename>.induct_tac no longer exists - use the
 10039     generic induct_tac instead.
 10040   - natE has been renamed to nat.exhaust - use exhaust_tac
 10041     instead of res_inst_tac ... natE. Note that the variable
 10042     names in nat.exhaust differ from the names in natE, this
 10043     may cause some "fragile" proofs to fail.
 10044   - The theorems split_<typename>_case and split_<typename>_case_asm
 10045     have been renamed to <typename>.split and <typename>.split_asm.
 10046   - Since default sorts of type variables are now handled correctly,
 10047     some datatype definitions may have to be annotated with explicit
 10048     sort constraints.
 10049   - Primrec definitions no longer require function name and type
 10050     of recursive argument.
 10051 
 10052 Consider using isatool fixdatatype to adapt your theories and proof
 10053 scripts to the new package (backup your sources first!).
 10054 
 10055 
 10056 * HOL/record package: considerably improved implementation; now
 10057 includes concrete syntax for record types, terms, updates; theorems
 10058 for surjective pairing and splitting !!-bound record variables; proof
 10059 support is as follows:
 10060 
 10061   1) standard conversions (selectors or updates applied to record
 10062 constructor terms) are part of the standard simpset;
 10063 
 10064   2) inject equations of the form ((x, y) = (x', y')) == x=x' & y=y' are
 10065 made part of standard simpset and claset via addIffs;
 10066 
 10067   3) a tactic for record field splitting (record_split_tac) is part of
 10068 the standard claset (addSWrapper);
 10069 
 10070 To get a better idea about these rules you may retrieve them via
 10071 something like 'thms "foo.simps"' or 'thms "foo.iffs"', where "foo" is
 10072 the name of your record type.
 10073 
 10074 The split tactic 3) conceptually simplifies by the following rule:
 10075 
 10076   "(!!x. PROP ?P x) == (!!a b. PROP ?P (a, b))"
 10077 
 10078 Thus any record variable that is bound by meta-all will automatically
 10079 blow up into some record constructor term, consequently the
 10080 simplifications of 1), 2) apply.  Thus force_tac, auto_tac etc. shall
 10081 solve record problems automatically.
 10082 
 10083 
 10084 * reorganized the main HOL image: HOL/Integ and String loaded by
 10085 default; theory Main includes everything;
 10086 
 10087 * automatic simplification of integer sums and comparisons, using cancellation;
 10088 
 10089 * added option_map_eq_Some and not_Some_eq to the default simpset and claset;
 10090 
 10091 * added disj_not1 = "(~P | Q) = (P --> Q)" to the default simpset;
 10092 
 10093 * many new identities for unions, intersections, set difference, etc.;
 10094 
 10095 * expand_if, expand_split, expand_sum_case and expand_nat_case are now
 10096 called split_if, split_split, split_sum_case and split_nat_case (to go
 10097 with add/delsplits);
 10098 
 10099 * HOL/Prod introduces simplification procedure unit_eq_proc rewriting
 10100 (?x::unit) = (); this is made part of the default simpset, which COULD
 10101 MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL under rare circumstances (consider
 10102 'Delsimprocs [unit_eq_proc];' as last resort); also note that
 10103 unit_abs_eta_conv is added in order to counter the effect of
 10104 unit_eq_proc on (%u::unit. f u), replacing it by f rather than by
 10105 %u.f();
 10106 
 10107 * HOL/Fun INCOMPATIBILITY: `inj_onto' is now called `inj_on' (which
 10108 makes more sense);
 10109 
 10110 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 10111   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 10112   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 10113 
 10114 * HOL/Relation INCOMPATIBILITY: renamed the relational operator r^-1
 10115 to 'converse' from 'inverse' (for compatibility with ZF and some
 10116 literature);
 10117 
 10118 * HOL/recdef can now declare non-recursive functions, with {} supplied as
 10119 the well-founded relation;
 10120 
 10121 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: the complement of set A is now written -A instead of
 10122     Compl A.  The "Compl" syntax remains available as input syntax for this
 10123     release ONLY.
 10124 
 10125 * HOL/Update: new theory of function updates:
 10126     f(a:=b) == %x. if x=a then b else f x
 10127 may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 10128 
 10129 * HOL/Vimage: new theory for inverse image of a function, syntax f-``B;
 10130 
 10131 * HOL/List:
 10132   - new function list_update written xs[i:=v] that updates the i-th
 10133     list position. May also be iterated as in xs[i:=a,j:=b,...].
 10134   - new function `upt' written [i..j(] which generates the list
 10135     [i,i+1,...,j-1], i.e. the upper bound is excluded. To include the upper
 10136     bound write [i..j], which is a shorthand for [i..j+1(].
 10137   - new lexicographic orderings and corresponding wellfoundedness theorems.
 10138 
 10139 * HOL/Arith:
 10140   - removed 'pred' (predecessor) function;
 10141   - generalized some theorems about n-1;
 10142   - many new laws about "div" and "mod";
 10143   - new laws about greatest common divisors (see theory ex/Primes);
 10144 
 10145 * HOL/Relation: renamed the relational operator r^-1 "converse"
 10146 instead of "inverse";
 10147 
 10148 * HOL/Induct/Multiset: a theory of multisets, including the wellfoundedness
 10149   of the multiset ordering;
 10150 
 10151 * directory HOL/Real: a construction of the reals using Dedekind cuts
 10152   (not included by default);
 10153 
 10154 * directory HOL/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY formalism;
 10155 
 10156 * directory HOL/Hoare: a new version of Hoare logic which permits many-sorted
 10157   programs, i.e. different program variables may have different types.
 10158 
 10159 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 10160   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 10161   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 10162 
 10163 
 10164 *** ZF ***
 10165 
 10166 * theory Main includes everything; INCOMPATIBILITY: theory ZF.thy contains
 10167   only the theorems proved on ZF.ML;
 10168 
 10169 * ZF INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 10170   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 10171   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 10172 
 10173 * ZF/Update: new theory of function updates
 10174     with default rewrite rule  f(x:=y) ` z = if(z=x, y, f`z)
 10175   may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 10176 
 10177 * in  let x=t in u(x), neither t nor u(x) has to be an FOL term.
 10178 
 10179 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 10180   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 10181   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 10182 
 10183 * case_tac provided for compatibility with HOL
 10184     (like the old excluded_middle_tac, but with subgoals swapped)
 10185 
 10186 
 10187 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
 10188 
 10189 * Pure: several new basic modules made available for general use, see
 10190 also src/Pure/README;
 10191 
 10192 * improved the theory data mechanism to support encapsulation (data
 10193 kind name replaced by private Object.kind, acting as authorization
 10194 key); new type-safe user interface via functor TheoryDataFun; generic
 10195 print_data function becomes basically useless;
 10196 
 10197 * removed global_names compatibility flag -- all theory declarations
 10198 are qualified by default;
 10199 
 10200 * module Pure/Syntax now offers quote / antiquote translation
 10201 functions (useful for Hoare logic etc. with implicit dependencies);
 10202 see HOL/ex/Antiquote for an example use;
 10203 
 10204 * Simplifier now offers conversions (asm_)(full_)rewrite: simpset ->
 10205 cterm -> thm;
 10206 
 10207 * new tactical CHANGED_GOAL for checking that a tactic modifies a
 10208 subgoal;
 10209 
 10210 * Display.print_goals function moved to Locale.print_goals;
 10211 
 10212 * standard print function for goals supports current_goals_markers
 10213 variable for marking begin of proof, end of proof, start of goal; the
 10214 default is ("", "", ""); setting current_goals_markers := ("<proof>",
 10215 "</proof>", "<goal>") causes SGML like tagged proof state printing,
 10216 for example;
 10217 
 10218 
 10219 
 10220 New in Isabelle98 (January 1998)
 10221 --------------------------------
 10222 
 10223 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 10224 
 10225 * changed lexical syntax of terms / types: dots made part of long
 10226 identifiers, e.g. "%x.x" no longer possible, should be "%x. x";
 10227 
 10228 * simpset (and claset) reference variable replaced by functions
 10229 simpset / simpset_ref;
 10230 
 10231 * no longer supports theory aliases (via merge) and non-trivial
 10232 implicit merge of thms' signatures;
 10233 
 10234 * most internal names of constants changed due to qualified names;
 10235 
 10236 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML);
 10237 
 10238 
 10239 *** General Changes ***
 10240 
 10241 * hierachically structured name spaces (for consts, types, axms, thms
 10242 etc.); new lexical class 'longid' (e.g. Foo.bar.x) may render much of
 10243 old input syntactically incorrect (e.g. "%x.x"); COMPATIBILITY:
 10244 isatool fixdots ensures space after dots (e.g. "%x. x"); set
 10245 long_names for fully qualified output names; NOTE: ML programs
 10246 (special tactics, packages etc.) referring to internal names may have
 10247 to be adapted to cope with fully qualified names; in case of severe
 10248 backward campatibility problems try setting 'global_names' at compile
 10249 time to have enrything declared within a flat name space; one may also
 10250 fine tune name declarations in theories via the 'global' and 'local'
 10251 section;
 10252 
 10253 * reimplemented the implicit simpset and claset using the new anytype
 10254 data filed in signatures; references simpset:simpset ref etc. are
 10255 replaced by functions simpset:unit->simpset and
 10256 simpset_ref:unit->simpset ref; COMPATIBILITY: use isatool fixclasimp
 10257 to patch your ML files accordingly;
 10258 
 10259 * HTML output now includes theory graph data for display with Java
 10260 applet or isatool browser; data generated automatically via isatool
 10261 usedir (see -i option, ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS);
 10262 
 10263 * defs may now be conditional; improved rewrite_goals_tac to handle
 10264 conditional equations;
 10265 
 10266 * defs now admits additional type arguments, using TYPE('a) syntax;
 10267 
 10268 * theory aliases via merge (e.g. M=A+B+C) no longer supported, always
 10269 creates a new theory node; implicit merge of thms' signatures is
 10270 restricted to 'trivial' ones; COMPATIBILITY: one may have to use
 10271 transfer:theory->thm->thm in (rare) cases;
 10272 
 10273 * improved handling of draft signatures / theories; draft thms (and
 10274 ctyps, cterms) are automatically promoted to real ones;
 10275 
 10276 * slightly changed interfaces for oracles: admit many per theory, named
 10277 (e.g. oracle foo = mlfun), additional name argument for invoke_oracle;
 10278 
 10279 * print_goals: optional output of const types (set show_consts and
 10280 show_types);
 10281 
 10282 * improved output of warnings (###) and errors (***);
 10283 
 10284 * subgoal_tac displays a warning if the new subgoal has type variables;
 10285 
 10286 * removed old README and Makefiles;
 10287 
 10288 * replaced print_goals_ref hook by print_current_goals_fn and result_error_fn;
 10289 
 10290 * removed obsolete init_pps and init_database;
 10291 
 10292 * deleted the obsolete tactical STATE, which was declared by
 10293     fun STATE tacfun st = tacfun st st;
 10294 
 10295 * cd and use now support path variables, e.g. $ISABELLE_HOME, or ~
 10296 (which abbreviates $HOME);
 10297 
 10298 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML); COMPATIBILITY:
 10299 use isatool fixseq to adapt your ML programs (this works for fully
 10300 qualified references to the Sequence structure only!);
 10301 
 10302 * use_thy no longer requires writable current directory; it always
 10303 reloads .ML *and* .thy file, if either one is out of date;
 10304 
 10305 
 10306 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 10307 
 10308 * Clarify_tac, clarify_tac, clarify_step_tac, Clarify_step_tac: new
 10309 tactics that use classical reasoning to simplify a subgoal without
 10310 splitting it into several subgoals;
 10311 
 10312 * Safe_tac: like safe_tac but uses the default claset;
 10313 
 10314 
 10315 *** Simplifier ***
 10316 
 10317 * added simplification meta rules:
 10318     (asm_)(full_)simplify: simpset -> thm -> thm;
 10319 
 10320 * simplifier.ML no longer part of Pure -- has to be loaded by object
 10321 logics (again);
 10322 
 10323 * added prems argument to simplification procedures;
 10324 
 10325 * HOL, FOL, ZF: added infix function `addsplits':
 10326   instead of `<simpset> setloop (split_tac <thms>)'
 10327   you can simply write `<simpset> addsplits <thms>'
 10328 
 10329 
 10330 *** Syntax ***
 10331 
 10332 * TYPE('a) syntax for type reflection terms;
 10333 
 10334 * no longer handles consts with name "" -- declare as 'syntax' instead;
 10335 
 10336 * pretty printer: changed order of mixfix annotation preference (again!);
 10337 
 10338 * Pure: fixed idt/idts vs. pttrn/pttrns syntactic categories;
 10339 
 10340 
 10341 *** HOL ***
 10342 
 10343 * HOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 10344   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 10345 
 10346 * HOL/TLA: Stephan Merz's formalization of Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions;
 10347 
 10348 * HOL/Auth: new protocol proofs including some for the Internet
 10349   protocol TLS;
 10350 
 10351 * HOL/Map: new theory of `maps' a la VDM;
 10352 
 10353 * HOL/simplifier: simplification procedures nat_cancel_sums for
 10354 cancelling out common nat summands from =, <, <= (in)equalities, or
 10355 differences; simplification procedures nat_cancel_factor for
 10356 cancelling common factor from =, <, <= (in)equalities over natural
 10357 sums; nat_cancel contains both kinds of procedures, it is installed by
 10358 default in Arith.thy -- this COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL;
 10359 
 10360 * HOL/simplifier: terms of the form
 10361   `? x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x)'  (or t=x)
 10362   are rewritten to
 10363   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t)',
 10364   and those of the form
 10365   `! x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x) --> R(x)'  (or t=x)
 10366   are rewritten to
 10367   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t) --> R(t)',
 10368 
 10369 * HOL/datatype
 10370   Each datatype `t' now comes with a theorem `split_t_case' of the form
 10371 
 10372   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 10373      ( (!y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 --> P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) &
 10374         ...
 10375        (!y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn --> P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 10376      )
 10377 
 10378   and a theorem `split_t_case_asm' of the form
 10379 
 10380   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 10381     ~( (? y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 & ~P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) |
 10382         ...
 10383        (? y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn & ~P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 10384      )
 10385   which can be added to a simpset via `addsplits'. The existing theorems
 10386   expand_list_case and expand_option_case have been renamed to
 10387   split_list_case and split_option_case.
 10388 
 10389 * HOL/Arithmetic:
 10390   - `pred n' is automatically converted to `n-1'.
 10391     Users are strongly encouraged not to use `pred' any longer,
 10392     because it will disappear altogether at some point.
 10393   - Users are strongly encouraged to write "0 < n" rather than
 10394     "n ~= 0". Theorems and proof tools have been modified towards this
 10395     `standard'.
 10396 
 10397 * HOL/Lists:
 10398   the function "set_of_list" has been renamed "set" (and its theorems too);
 10399   the function "nth" now takes its arguments in the reverse order and
 10400   has acquired the infix notation "!" as in "xs!n".
 10401 
 10402 * HOL/Set: UNIV is now a constant and is no longer translated to Compl{};
 10403 
 10404 * HOL/Set: The operator (UN x.B x) now abbreviates (UN x:UNIV. B x) and its
 10405   specialist theorems (like UN1_I) are gone.  Similarly for (INT x.B x);
 10406 
 10407 * HOL/record: extensible records with schematic structural subtyping
 10408 (single inheritance); EXPERIMENTAL version demonstrating the encoding,
 10409 still lacks various theorems and concrete record syntax;
 10410 
 10411 
 10412 *** HOLCF ***
 10413 
 10414 * removed "axioms" and "generated by" sections;
 10415 
 10416 * replaced "ops" section by extended "consts" section, which is capable of
 10417   handling the continuous function space "->" directly;
 10418 
 10419 * domain package:
 10420   . proves theorems immediately and stores them in the theory,
 10421   . creates hierachical name space,
 10422   . now uses normal mixfix annotations (instead of cinfix...),
 10423   . minor changes to some names and values (for consistency),
 10424   . e.g. cases -> casedist, dists_eq -> dist_eqs, [take_lemma] -> take_lemmas,
 10425   . separator between mutual domain defs: changed "," to "and",
 10426   . improved handling of sort constraints;  now they have to
 10427     appear on the left-hand side of the equations only;
 10428 
 10429 * fixed LAM <x,y,zs>.b syntax;
 10430 
 10431 * added extended adm_tac to simplifier in HOLCF -- can now discharge
 10432 adm (%x. P (t x)), where P is chainfinite and t continuous;
 10433 
 10434 
 10435 *** FOL and ZF ***
 10436 
 10437 * FOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 10438   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 10439 
 10440 * qed_spec_mp, qed_goal_spec_mp, qed_goalw_spec_mp are available, as
 10441 in HOL, they strip ALL and --> from proved theorems;
 10442 
 10443 
 10444 
 10445 New in Isabelle94-8 (May 1997)
 10446 ------------------------------
 10447 
 10448 *** General Changes ***
 10449 
 10450 * new utilities to build / run / maintain Isabelle etc. (in parts
 10451 still somewhat experimental); old Makefiles etc. still functional;
 10452 
 10453 * new 'Isabelle System Manual';
 10454 
 10455 * INSTALL text, together with ./configure and ./build scripts;
 10456 
 10457 * reimplemented type inference for greater efficiency, better error
 10458 messages and clean internal interface;
 10459 
 10460 * prlim command for dealing with lots of subgoals (an easier way of
 10461 setting goals_limit);
 10462 
 10463 
 10464 *** Syntax ***
 10465 
 10466 * supports alternative (named) syntax tables (parser and pretty
 10467 printer); internal interface is provided by add_modesyntax(_i);
 10468 
 10469 * Pure, FOL, ZF, HOL, HOLCF now support symbolic input and output; to
 10470 be used in conjunction with the Isabelle symbol font; uses the
 10471 "symbols" syntax table;
 10472 
 10473 * added token_translation interface (may translate name tokens in
 10474 arbitrary ways, dependent on their type (free, bound, tfree, ...) and
 10475 the current print_mode); IMPORTANT: user print translation functions
 10476 are responsible for marking newly introduced bounds
 10477 (Syntax.mark_boundT);
 10478 
 10479 * token translations for modes "xterm" and "xterm_color" that display
 10480 names in bold, underline etc. or colors (which requires a color
 10481 version of xterm);
 10482 
 10483 * infixes may now be declared with names independent of their syntax;
 10484 
 10485 * added typed_print_translation (like print_translation, but may
 10486 access type of constant);
 10487 
 10488 
 10489 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 10490 
 10491 Blast_tac: a new tactic!  It is often more powerful than fast_tac, but has
 10492 some limitations.  Blast_tac...
 10493   + ignores addss, addbefore, addafter; this restriction is intrinsic
 10494   + ignores elimination rules that don't have the correct format
 10495         (the conclusion MUST be a formula variable)
 10496   + ignores types, which can make HOL proofs fail
 10497   + rules must not require higher-order unification, e.g. apply_type in ZF
 10498     [message "Function Var's argument not a bound variable" relates to this]
 10499   + its proof strategy is more general but can actually be slower
 10500 
 10501 * substitution with equality assumptions no longer permutes other
 10502 assumptions;
 10503 
 10504 * minor changes in semantics of addafter (now called addaltern); renamed
 10505 setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to compWrapper; added safe wrapper
 10506 (and access functions for it);
 10507 
 10508 * improved combination of classical reasoner and simplifier:
 10509   + functions for handling clasimpsets
 10510   + improvement of addss: now the simplifier is called _after_ the
 10511     safe steps.
 10512   + safe variant of addss called addSss: uses safe simplifications
 10513     _during_ the safe steps. It is more complete as it allows multiple
 10514     instantiations of unknowns (e.g. with slow_tac).
 10515 
 10516 *** Simplifier ***
 10517 
 10518 * added interface for simplification procedures (functions that
 10519 produce *proven* rewrite rules on the fly, depending on current
 10520 redex);
 10521 
 10522 * ordering on terms as parameter (used for ordered rewriting);
 10523 
 10524 * new functions delcongs, deleqcongs, and Delcongs. richer rep_ss;
 10525 
 10526 * the solver is now split into a safe and an unsafe part.
 10527 This should be invisible for the normal user, except that the
 10528 functions setsolver and addsolver have been renamed to setSolver and
 10529 addSolver; added safe_asm_full_simp_tac;
 10530 
 10531 
 10532 *** HOL ***
 10533 
 10534 * a generic induction tactic `induct_tac' which works for all datatypes and
 10535 also for type `nat';
 10536 
 10537 * a generic case distinction tactic `exhaust_tac' which works for all
 10538 datatypes and also for type `nat';
 10539 
 10540 * each datatype comes with a function `size';
 10541 
 10542 * patterns in case expressions allow tuple patterns as arguments to
 10543 constructors, for example `case x of [] => ... | (x,y,z)#ps => ...';
 10544 
 10545 * primrec now also works with type nat;
 10546 
 10547 * recdef: a new declaration form, allows general recursive functions to be
 10548 defined in theory files.  See HOL/ex/Fib, HOL/ex/Primes, HOL/Subst/Unify.
 10549 
 10550 * the constant for negation has been renamed from "not" to "Not" to
 10551 harmonize with FOL, ZF, LK, etc.;
 10552 
 10553 * HOL/ex/LFilter theory of a corecursive "filter" functional for
 10554 infinite lists;
 10555 
 10556 * HOL/Modelcheck demonstrates invocation of model checker oracle;
 10557 
 10558 * HOL/ex/Ring.thy declares cring_simp, which solves equational
 10559 problems in commutative rings, using axiomatic type classes for + and *;
 10560 
 10561 * more examples in HOL/MiniML and HOL/Auth;
 10562 
 10563 * more default rewrite rules for quantifiers, union/intersection;
 10564 
 10565 * a new constant `arbitrary == @x.False';
 10566 
 10567 * HOLCF/IOA replaces old HOL/IOA;
 10568 
 10569 * HOLCF changes: derived all rules and arities
 10570   + axiomatic type classes instead of classes
 10571   + typedef instead of faking type definitions
 10572   + eliminated the internal constants less_fun, less_cfun, UU_fun, UU_cfun etc.
 10573   + new axclasses cpo, chfin, flat with flat < chfin < pcpo < cpo < po
 10574   + eliminated the types void, one, tr
 10575   + use unit lift and bool lift (with translations) instead of one and tr
 10576   + eliminated blift from Lift3.thy (use Def instead of blift)
 10577   all eliminated rules are derived as theorems --> no visible changes ;
 10578

 10580 *** ZF ***
 10581 
 10582 * ZF now has Fast_tac, Simp_tac and Auto_tac.  Union_iff is a now a default
 10583 rewrite rule; this may affect some proofs.  eq_cs is gone but can be put back
 10584 as ZF_cs addSIs [equalityI];

 10587 
 10588 New in Isabelle94-7 (November 96)
 10589 ---------------------------------
 10590 
 10591 * allowing negative levels (as offsets) in prlev and choplev;
 10592 
 10593 * super-linear speedup for large simplifications;
 10594 
 10595 * FOL, ZF and HOL now use miniscoping: rewriting pushes
 10596 quantifications in as far as possible (COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS
 10597 FAIL); can suppress it using the command Delsimps (ex_simps @
 10598 all_simps); De Morgan laws are also now included, by default;
 10599 
 10600 * improved printing of ==>  :  ~:
 10601 
 10602 * new object-logic "Sequents" adds linear logic, while replacing LK
 10603 and Modal (thanks to Sara Kalvala);
 10604 
 10605 * HOL/Auth: correctness proofs for authentication protocols;
 10606 
 10607 * HOL: new auto_tac combines rewriting and classical reasoning (many
 10608 examples on HOL/Auth);
 10609 
 10610 * HOL: new command AddIffs for declaring theorems of the form P=Q to
 10611 the rewriter and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 10612 
 10613 * function uresult no longer returns theorems in "standard" format;
 10614 regain previous version by: val uresult = standard o uresult;
 10615 
 10616 
 10617 
 10618 New in Isabelle94-6
 10619 -------------------
 10620 
 10621 * oracles -- these establish an interface between Isabelle and trusted
 10622 external reasoners, which may deliver results as theorems;
 10623 
 10624 * proof objects (in particular record all uses of oracles);
 10625 
 10626 * Simp_tac, Fast_tac, etc. that refer to implicit simpset / claset;
 10627 
 10628 * "constdefs" section in theory files;
 10629 
 10630 * "primrec" section (HOL) no longer requires names;
 10631 
 10632 * internal type "tactic" now simply "thm -> thm Sequence.seq";
 10633 
 10634 
 10635 
 10636 New in Isabelle94-5
 10637 -------------------
 10638 
 10639 * reduced space requirements;
 10640 
 10641 * automatic HTML generation from theories;
 10642 
 10643 * theory files no longer require "..." (quotes) around most types;
 10644 
 10645 * new examples, including two proofs of the Church-Rosser theorem;
 10646 
 10647 * non-curried (1994) version of HOL is no longer distributed;
 10648 
 10649 
 10650 
 10651 New in Isabelle94-4
 10652 -------------------
 10653 
 10654 * greatly reduced space requirements;
 10655 
 10656 * theory files (.thy) no longer require \...\ escapes at line breaks;
 10657 
 10658 * searchable theorem database (see the section "Retrieving theorems" on
 10659 page 8 of the Reference Manual);
 10660 
 10661 * new examples, including Grabczewski's monumental case study of the
 10662 Axiom of Choice;
 10663 
 10664 * The previous version of HOL renamed to Old_HOL;
 10665 
 10666 * The new version of HOL (previously called CHOL) uses a curried syntax
 10667 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b);
 10668 
 10669 * Mutually recursive inductive definitions finally work in HOL;
 10670 
 10671 * In ZF, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions and
 10672 translates to the operator "split";
 10673 
 10674 
 10675 
 10676 New in Isabelle94-3
 10677 -------------------
 10678 
 10679 * new infix operator, addss, allowing the classical reasoner to
 10680 perform simplification at each step of its search.  Example:
 10681         fast_tac (cs addss ss)
 10682 
 10683 * a new logic, CHOL, the same as HOL, but with a curried syntax
 10684 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b).  Also pairs
 10685 look like (a,b) instead of <a,b>;
 10686 
 10687 * PLEASE NOTE: CHOL will eventually replace HOL!
 10688 
 10689 * In CHOL, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions.
 10690 It translates to the operator "split".  A new theory of integers is available;
 10691 
 10692 * In ZF, integer numerals now denote two's-complement binary integers.
 10693 Arithmetic operations can be performed by rewriting.  See ZF/ex/Bin.ML;
 10694 
 10695 * Many new examples: I/O automata, Church-Rosser theorem, equivalents
 10696 of the Axiom of Choice;
 10697 
 10698 
 10699 
 10700 New in Isabelle94-2
 10701 -------------------
 10702 
 10703 * Significantly faster resolution;
 10704 
 10705 * the different sections in a .thy file can now be mixed and repeated
 10706 freely;
 10707 
 10708 * Database of theorems for FOL, HOL and ZF.  New
 10709 commands including qed, qed_goal and bind_thm store theorems in the database.
 10710 
 10711 * Simple database queries: return a named theorem (get_thm) or all theorems of
 10712 a given theory (thms_of), or find out what theory a theorem was proved in
 10713 (theory_of_thm);
 10714 
 10715 * Bugs fixed in the inductive definition and datatype packages;
 10716 
 10717 * The classical reasoner provides deepen_tac and depth_tac, making FOL_dup_cs
 10718 and HOL_dup_cs obsolete;
 10719 
 10720 * Syntactic ambiguities caused by the new treatment of syntax in Isabelle94-1
 10721 have been removed;
 10722 
 10723 * Simpler definition of function space in ZF;
 10724 
 10725 * new results about cardinal and ordinal arithmetic in ZF;
 10726 
 10727 * 'subtype' facility in HOL for introducing new types as subsets of existing
 10728 types;
