restrict unqualified imports from Haskell Prelude to a small set of fundamental operations
     1 Isabelle NEWS -- history user-relevant changes
     2 ==============================================
     3 
     4 New in this Isabelle version
     5 ----------------------------
     6 
     7 *** General ***
     8 
     9 * Discontinued obsolete method fastsimp / tactic fast_simp_tac, which
    10 is called fastforce / fast_force_tac already since Isabelle2011-1.
    11 
    12 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" manual, reduced remaining material
    13 in old "ref" manual.
    14 
    15 
    16 *** Pure ***
    17 
    18 * Code generation for Haskell: restrict unqualified imports from
    19 Haskell Prelude to a small set of fundamental operations.
    20 
    21 * Command "export_code": relative file names are interpreted
    22 relatively to master directory of current theory rather than
    23 the rather arbitrary current working directory.
    24 INCOMPATIBILITY.
    25 
    26 * Discontinued obsolete attribute "COMP".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
    27 use regular rule composition via "OF" / "THEN", or explicit proof
    28 structure instead.  Note that Isabelle/ML provides a variety of
    29 operators like COMP, INCR_COMP, COMP_INCR, which need to be applied
    30 with some care where this is really required.
    31 
    32 
    33 *** HOL ***
    34 
    35 * Library/Debug.thy and Library/Parallel.thy: debugging and parallel
    36 execution for code generated towards Isabelle/ML.
    37 
    38 * Simproc "finite_Collect" rewrites set comprehensions into pointfree
    39 expressions.
    40 
    41 * Quickcheck:
    42 
    43   - added an optimisation for equality premises.
    44     It is switched on by default, and can be switched off by setting
    45     the configuration quickcheck_optimise_equality to false.    
    46 
    47 * The SMT solver Z3 has now by default a restricted set of directly
    48 supported features. For the full set of features (div/mod, nonlinear
    49 arithmetic, datatypes/records) with potential proof reconstruction
    50 failures, enable the configuration option "z3_with_extensions".
    51 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    52 
    53 * Sledgehammer:
    54 
    55   - Added MaSh relevance filter based on machine-learning; see the
    56     Sledgehammer manual for details.
    57   - Rationalized type encodings ("type_enc" option).
    58   - Renamed options:
    59       max_relevant ~> max_facts
    60       relevance_thresholds ~> fact_thresholds
    61 
    62 
    63 *** Document preparation ***
    64 
    65 * Default for \<euro> is now based on eurosym package, instead of
    66 slightly exotic babel/greek.
    67 
    68 
    69 *** System ***
    70 
    71 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2.1, which was the last version
    72 without exception positions and advanced ML compiler/toplevel
    73 configuration.
    74 
    75 
    76 
    77 New in Isabelle2012 (May 2012)
    78 ------------------------------
    79 
    80 *** General ***
    81 
    82 * Prover IDE (PIDE) improvements:
    83 
    84   - more robust Sledgehammer integration (as before the sledgehammer
    85     command-line needs to be typed into the source buffer)
    86   - markup for bound variables
    87   - markup for types of term variables (displayed as tooltips)
    88   - support for user-defined Isar commands within the running session
    89   - improved support for Unicode outside original 16bit range
    90     e.g. glyph for \<A> (thanks to jEdit 4.5.1)
    91 
    92 * Forward declaration of outer syntax keywords within the theory
    93 header -- minor INCOMPATIBILITY for user-defined commands.  Allow new
    94 commands to be used in the same theory where defined.
    95 
    96 * Auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for specifications with
    97 additional parameters and assumptions.  Such unnamed contexts may be
    98 nested within other targets, like 'theory', 'locale', 'class',
    99 'instantiation' etc.  Results from the local context are generalized
   100 accordingly and applied to the enclosing target context.  Example:
   101 
   102   context
   103     fixes x y z :: 'a
   104     assumes xy: "x = y" and yz: "y = z"
   105   begin
   106 
   107   lemma my_trans: "x = z" using xy yz by simp
   108 
   109   end
   110 
   111   thm my_trans
   112 
   113 The most basic application is to factor-out context elements of
   114 several fixes/assumes/shows theorem statements, e.g. see
   115 ~~/src/HOL/Isar_Examples/Group_Context.thy
   116 
   117 Any other local theory specification element works within the "context
   118 ... begin ... end" block as well.
   119 
   120 * Bundled declarations associate attributed fact expressions with a
   121 given name in the context.  These may be later included in other
   122 contexts.  This allows to manage context extensions casually, without
   123 the logical dependencies of locales and locale interpretation.  See
   124 commands 'bundle', 'include', 'including' etc. in the isar-ref manual.
   125 
   126 * Commands 'lemmas' and 'theorems' allow local variables using 'for'
   127 declaration, and results are standardized before being stored.  Thus
   128 old-style "standard" after instantiation or composition of facts
   129 becomes obsolete.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, due to potential change of
   130 indices of schematic variables.
   131 
   132 * Rule attributes in local theory declarations (e.g. locale or class)
   133 are now statically evaluated: the resulting theorem is stored instead
   134 of the original expression.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
   135 the historic accident of dynamic re-evaluation in interpretations
   136 etc. was exploited.
   137 
   138 * New tutorial "Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL"
   139 ("prog-prove").  It completely supersedes "A Tutorial Introduction to
   140 Structured Isar Proofs" ("isar-overview"), which has been removed.  It
   141 also supersedes "Isabelle/HOL, A Proof Assistant for Higher-Order
   142 Logic" as the recommended beginners tutorial, but does not cover all
   143 of the material of that old tutorial.
   144 
   145 * Updated and extended reference manuals: "isar-ref",
   146 "implementation", "system"; reduced remaining material in old "ref"
   147 manual.
   148 
   149 
   150 *** Pure ***
   151 
   152 * Command 'definition' no longer exports the foundational "raw_def"
   153 into the user context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, may use the regular
   154 "def" result with attribute "abs_def" to imitate the old version.
   155 
   156 * Attribute "abs_def" turns an equation of the form "f x y == t" into
   157 "f == %x y. t", which ensures that "simp" or "unfold" steps always
   158 expand it.  This also works for object-logic equality.  (Formerly
   159 undocumented feature.)
   160 
   161 * Sort constraints are now propagated in simultaneous statements, just
   162 like type constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
   163 distinct sorts used to be assigned accidentally.  For example:
   164 
   165   lemma "P (x::'a::foo)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"  -- "now illegal"
   166 
   167   lemma "P (x::'a)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"
   168     -- "now uniform 'a::bar instead of default sort for first occurrence (!)"
   169 
   170 * Rule composition via attribute "OF" (or ML functions OF/MRS) is more
   171 tolerant against multiple unifiers, as long as the final result is
   172 unique.  (As before, rules are composed in canonical right-to-left
   173 order to accommodate newly introduced premises.)
   174 
   175 * Renamed some inner syntax categories:
   176 
   177     num ~> num_token
   178     xnum ~> xnum_token
   179     xstr ~> str_token
   180 
   181 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that in practice "num_const" or
   182 "num_position" etc. are mainly used instead (which also include
   183 position information via constraints).
   184 
   185 * Simplified configuration options for syntax ambiguity: see
   186 "syntax_ambiguity_warning" and "syntax_ambiguity_limit" in isar-ref
   187 manual.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   188 
   189 * Discontinued configuration option "syntax_positions": atomic terms
   190 in parse trees are always annotated by position constraints.
   191 
   192 * Old code generator for SML and its commands 'code_module',
   193 'code_library', 'consts_code', 'types_code' have been discontinued.
   194 Use commands of the generic code generator instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   195 
   196 * Redundant attribute "code_inline" has been discontinued. Use
   197 "code_unfold" instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   198 
   199 * Dropped attribute "code_unfold_post" in favor of the its dual
   200 "code_abbrev", which yields a common pattern in definitions like
   201 
   202   definition [code_abbrev]: "f = t"
   203 
   204 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   205 
   206 * Obsolete 'types' command has been discontinued.  Use 'type_synonym'
   207 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   208 
   209 * Discontinued old "prems" fact, which used to refer to the accidental
   210 collection of foundational premises in the context (already marked as
   211 legacy since Isabelle2011).
   212 
   213 
   214 *** HOL ***
   215 
   216 * Type 'a set is now a proper type constructor (just as before
   217 Isabelle2008).  Definitions mem_def and Collect_def have disappeared.
   218 Non-trivial INCOMPATIBILITY.  For developments keeping predicates and
   219 sets separate, it is often sufficient to rephrase some set S that has
   220 been accidentally used as predicates by "%x. x : S", and some
   221 predicate P that has been accidentally used as set by "{x. P x}".
   222 Corresponding proofs in a first step should be pruned from any
   223 tinkering with former theorems mem_def and Collect_def as far as
   224 possible.
   225 
   226 For developments which deliberately mix predicates and sets, a
   227 planning step is necessary to determine what should become a predicate
   228 and what a set.  It can be helpful to carry out that step in
   229 Isabelle2011-1 before jumping right into the current release.
   230 
   231 * Code generation by default implements sets as container type rather
   232 than predicates.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   233 
   234 * New type synonym 'a rel = ('a * 'a) set
   235 
   236 * The representation of numerals has changed.  Datatype "num"
   237 represents strictly positive binary numerals, along with functions
   238 "numeral :: num => 'a" and "neg_numeral :: num => 'a" to represent
   239 positive and negated numeric literals, respectively.  See also
   240 definitions in ~~/src/HOL/Num.thy.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, some
   241 user theories may require adaptations as follows:
   242 
   243   - Theorems with number_ring or number_semiring constraints: These
   244     classes are gone; use comm_ring_1 or comm_semiring_1 instead.
   245 
   246   - Theories defining numeric types: Remove number, number_semiring,
   247     and number_ring instances. Defer all theorems about numerals until
   248     after classes one and semigroup_add have been instantiated.
   249 
   250   - Numeral-only simp rules: Replace each rule having a "number_of v"
   251     pattern with two copies, one for numeral and one for neg_numeral.
   252 
   253   - Theorems about subclasses of semiring_1 or ring_1: These classes
   254     automatically support numerals now, so more simp rules and
   255     simprocs may now apply within the proof.
   256 
   257   - Definitions and theorems using old constructors Pls/Min/Bit0/Bit1:
   258     Redefine using other integer operations.
   259 
   260 * Transfer: New package intended to generalize the existing
   261 "descending" method and related theorem attributes from the Quotient
   262 package.  (Not all functionality is implemented yet, but future
   263 development will focus on Transfer as an eventual replacement for the
   264 corresponding parts of the Quotient package.)
   265 
   266   - transfer_rule attribute: Maintains a collection of transfer rules,
   267     which relate constants at two different types. Transfer rules may
   268     relate different type instances of the same polymorphic constant,
   269     or they may relate an operation on a raw type to a corresponding
   270     operation on an abstract type (quotient or subtype). For example:
   271 
   272     ((A ===> B) ===> list_all2 A ===> list_all2 B) map map
   273     (cr_int ===> cr_int ===> cr_int) (%(x,y) (u,v). (x+u, y+v)) plus_int
   274 
   275   - transfer method: Replaces a subgoal on abstract types with an
   276     equivalent subgoal on the corresponding raw types. Constants are
   277     replaced with corresponding ones according to the transfer rules.
   278     Goals are generalized over all free variables by default; this is
   279     necessary for variables whose types change, but can be overridden
   280     for specific variables with e.g. "transfer fixing: x y z".  The
   281     variant transfer' method allows replacing a subgoal with one that
   282     is logically stronger (rather than equivalent).
   283 
   284   - relator_eq attribute: Collects identity laws for relators of
   285     various type constructors, e.g. "list_all2 (op =) = (op =)".  The
   286     transfer method uses these lemmas to infer transfer rules for
   287     non-polymorphic constants on the fly.
   288 
   289   - transfer_prover method: Assists with proving a transfer rule for a
   290     new constant, provided the constant is defined in terms of other
   291     constants that already have transfer rules. It should be applied
   292     after unfolding the constant definitions.
   293 
   294   - HOL/ex/Transfer_Int_Nat.thy: Example theory demonstrating transfer
   295     from type nat to type int.
   296 
   297 * Lifting: New package intended to generalize the quotient_definition
   298 facility of the Quotient package; designed to work with Transfer.
   299 
   300   - lift_definition command: Defines operations on an abstract type in
   301     terms of a corresponding operation on a representation
   302     type.  Example syntax:
   303 
   304     lift_definition dlist_insert :: "'a => 'a dlist => 'a dlist"
   305       is List.insert
   306 
   307     Users must discharge a respectfulness proof obligation when each
   308     constant is defined. (For a type copy, i.e. a typedef with UNIV,
   309     the proof is discharged automatically.) The obligation is
   310     presented in a user-friendly, readable form; a respectfulness
   311     theorem in the standard format and a transfer rule are generated
   312     by the package.
   313 
   314   - Integration with code_abstype: For typedefs (e.g. subtypes
   315     corresponding to a datatype invariant, such as dlist),
   316     lift_definition generates a code certificate theorem and sets up
   317     code generation for each constant.
   318 
   319   - setup_lifting command: Sets up the Lifting package to work with a
   320     user-defined type. The user must provide either a quotient theorem
   321     or a type_definition theorem.  The package configures transfer
   322     rules for equality and quantifiers on the type, and sets up the
   323     lift_definition command to work with the type.
   324 
   325   - Usage examples: See Quotient_Examples/Lift_DList.thy,
   326     Quotient_Examples/Lift_RBT.thy, Quotient_Examples/Lift_FSet.thy,
   327     Word/Word.thy and Library/Float.thy.
   328 
   329 * Quotient package:
   330 
   331   - The 'quotient_type' command now supports a 'morphisms' option with
   332     rep and abs functions, similar to typedef.
   333 
   334   - 'quotient_type' sets up new types to work with the Lifting and
   335     Transfer packages, as with 'setup_lifting'.
   336 
   337   - The 'quotient_definition' command now requires the user to prove a
   338     respectfulness property at the point where the constant is
   339     defined, similar to lift_definition; INCOMPATIBILITY.
   340 
   341   - Renamed predicate 'Quotient' to 'Quotient3', and renamed theorems
   342     accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.
   343 
   344 * New diagnostic command 'find_unused_assms' to find potentially
   345 superfluous assumptions in theorems using Quickcheck.
   346 
   347 * Quickcheck:
   348 
   349   - Quickcheck returns variable assignments as counterexamples, which
   350     allows to reveal the underspecification of functions under test.
   351     For example, refuting "hd xs = x", it presents the variable
   352     assignment xs = [] and x = a1 as a counterexample, assuming that
   353     any property is false whenever "hd []" occurs in it.
   354 
   355     These counterexample are marked as potentially spurious, as
   356     Quickcheck also returns "xs = []" as a counterexample to the
   357     obvious theorem "hd xs = hd xs".
   358 
   359     After finding a potentially spurious counterexample, Quickcheck
   360     continues searching for genuine ones.
   361 
   362     By default, Quickcheck shows potentially spurious and genuine
   363     counterexamples. The option "genuine_only" sets quickcheck to only
   364     show genuine counterexamples.
   365 
   366   - The command 'quickcheck_generator' creates random and exhaustive
   367     value generators for a given type and operations.
   368 
   369     It generates values by using the operations as if they were
   370     constructors of that type.
   371 
   372   - Support for multisets.
   373 
   374   - Added "use_subtype" options.
   375 
   376   - Added "quickcheck_locale" configuration to specify how to process
   377     conjectures in a locale context.
   378 
   379 * Nitpick: Fixed infinite loop caused by the 'peephole_optim' option
   380 and affecting 'rat' and 'real'.
   381 
   382 * Sledgehammer:
   383   - Integrated more tightly with SPASS, as described in the ITP 2012
   384     paper "More SPASS with Isabelle".
   385   - Made it try "smt" as a fallback if "metis" fails or times out.
   386   - Added support for the following provers: Alt-Ergo (via Why3 and
   387     TFF1), iProver, iProver-Eq.
   388   - Sped up the minimizer.
   389   - Added "lam_trans", "uncurry_aliases", and "minimize" options.
   390   - Renamed "slicing" ("no_slicing") option to "slice" ("dont_slice").
   391   - Renamed "sound" option to "strict".
   392 
   393 * Metis: Added possibility to specify lambda translations scheme as a
   394 parenthesized argument (e.g., "by (metis (lifting) ...)").
   395 
   396 * SMT: Renamed "smt_fixed" option to "smt_read_only_certificates".
   397 
   398 * Command 'try0': Renamed from 'try_methods'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
   399 
   400 * New "case_product" attribute to generate a case rule doing multiple
   401 case distinctions at the same time.  E.g.
   402 
   403   list.exhaust [case_product nat.exhaust]
   404 
   405 produces a rule which can be used to perform case distinction on both
   406 a list and a nat.
   407 
   408 * New "eventually_elim" method as a generalized variant of the
   409 eventually_elim* rules.  Supports structured proofs.
   410 
   411 * Typedef with implicit set definition is considered legacy.  Use
   412 "typedef (open)" form instead, which will eventually become the
   413 default.
   414 
   415 * Record: code generation can be switched off manually with
   416 
   417   declare [[record_coden = false]]  -- "default true"
   418 
   419 * Datatype: type parameters allow explicit sort constraints.
   420 
   421 * Concrete syntax for case expressions includes constraints for source
   422 positions, and thus produces Prover IDE markup for its bindings.
   423 INCOMPATIBILITY for old-style syntax translations that augment the
   424 pattern notation; e.g. see src/HOL/HOLCF/One.thy for translations of
   425 one_case.
   426 
   427 * Clarified attribute "mono_set": pure declaration without modifying
   428 the result of the fact expression.
   429 
   430 * More default pred/set conversions on a couple of relation operations
   431 and predicates.  Added powers of predicate relations.  Consolidation
   432 of some relation theorems:
   433 
   434   converse_def ~> converse_unfold
   435   rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
   436   symp_def ~> (modified, use symp_def and sym_def instead)
   437   transp_def ~> transp_trans
   438   Domain_def ~> Domain_unfold
   439   Range_def ~> Domain_converse [symmetric]
   440 
   441 Generalized theorems INF_INT_eq, INF_INT_eq2, SUP_UN_eq, SUP_UN_eq2.
   442 
   443 See theory "Relation" for examples for making use of pred/set
   444 conversions by means of attributes "to_set" and "to_pred".
   445 
   446 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   447 
   448 * Renamed facts about the power operation on relations, i.e., relpow
   449 to match the constant's name:

   826 * New theory HOL/Library/DAList provides an abstract type for
   827 association lists with distinct keys.
   828 
   829 * Session HOL/IMP: Added new theory of abstract interpretation of
   830 annotated commands.
   831 
   832 * Session HOL-Import: Re-implementation from scratch is faster,
   833 simpler, and more scalable.  Requires a proof bundle, which is
   834 available as an external component.  Discontinued old (and mostly
   835 dead) Importer for HOL4 and HOL Light.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   836 
   837 * Session HOL-Word: Discontinued many redundant theorems specific to
   838 type 'a word. INCOMPATIBILITY, use the corresponding generic theorems
   839 instead.

   883 * Session HOL-Word: New proof method "word_bitwise" for splitting
   884 machine word equalities and inequalities into logical circuits,
   885 defined in HOL/Word/WordBitwise.thy.  Supports addition, subtraction,
   886 multiplication, shifting by constants, bitwise operators and numeric
   887 constants.  Requires fixed-length word types, not 'a word.  Solves
   888 many standard word identities outright and converts more into first
   889 order problems amenable to blast or similar.  See also examples in
   890 HOL/Word/Examples/WordExamples.thy.
   891 
   892 * Session HOL-Probability: Introduced the type "'a measure" to
   893 represent measures, this replaces the records 'a algebra and 'a
   894 measure_space.  The locales based on subset_class now have two
   895 locale-parameters the space \<Omega> and the set of measurable sets M.
   896 The product of probability spaces uses now the same constant as the
   897 finite product of sigma-finite measure spaces "PiM :: ('i => 'a)
   898 measure".  Most constants are defined now outside of locales and gain
   899 an additional parameter, like null_sets, almost_eventually or \<mu>'.
   900 Measure space constructions for distributions and densities now got
   901 their own constants distr and density.  Instead of using locales to
   902 describe measure spaces with a finite space, the measure count_space
   903 and point_measure is introduced.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   904 
   905   Renamed constants:
   906   measure -> emeasure
   907   finite_measure.\<mu>' -> measure
   908   product_algebra_generator -> prod_algebra
   909   product_prob_space.emb -> prod_emb

   922   pair_finite_space
   923   pair_sigma_algebra
   924   product_sigma_algebra
   925 
   926   Removed constants:
   927   conditional_space
   928   distribution -> use distr measure, or distributed predicate
   929   image_space
   930   joint_distribution -> use distr measure, or distributed predicate

  1065 * Session HOL-TPTP: support to parse and import TPTP problems (all
  1066 languages) into Isabelle/HOL.
  1067 
  1068 
  1069 *** FOL ***
  1070 
  1071 * New "case_product" attribute (see HOL).
  1072 
  1073 
  1074 *** ZF ***
  1075 
  1076 * Greater support for structured proofs involving induction or case
  1077 analysis.
  1078 
  1079 * Much greater use of mathematical symbols.
  1080 
  1081 * Removal of many ML theorem bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1082 
  1083 
  1084 *** ML ***
  1085 
  1086 * Antiquotation @{keyword "name"} produces a parser for outer syntax
  1087 from a minor keyword introduced via theory header declaration.
  1088 
  1089 * Antiquotation @{command_spec "name"} produces the
  1090 Outer_Syntax.command_spec from a major keyword introduced via theory
  1091 header declaration; it can be passed to Outer_Syntax.command etc.
  1092 
  1093 * Local_Theory.define no longer hard-wires default theorem name
  1094 "foo_def", but retains the binding as given.  If that is Binding.empty
  1095 / Attrib.empty_binding, the result is not registered as user-level
  1096 fact.  The Local_Theory.define_internal variant allows to specify a
  1097 non-empty name (used for the foundation in the background theory),
  1098 while omitting the fact binding in the user-context.  Potential
  1099 INCOMPATIBILITY for derived definitional packages: need to specify
  1100 naming policy for primitive definitions more explicitly.
  1101 
  1102 * Renamed Thm.capply to Thm.apply, and Thm.cabs to Thm.lambda in
  1103 conformance with similar operations in structure Term and Logic.
  1104 
  1105 * Antiquotation @{attributes [...]} embeds attribute source
  1106 representation into the ML text, which is particularly useful with
  1107 declarations like Local_Theory.note.
  1108 
  1109 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  1110 ProofContext has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1111 
  1112 * Refined Local_Theory.declaration {syntax, pervasive}, with subtle
  1113 change of semantics: update is applied to auxiliary local theory
  1114 context as well.
  1115 
  1116 * Modernized some old-style infix operations:
  1117 
  1118   addeqcongs    ~> Simplifier.add_eqcong
  1119   deleqcongs    ~> Simplifier.del_eqcong
  1120   addcongs      ~> Simplifier.add_cong

  1129   delsplits     ~> Splitter.del_split
  1130 
  1131 
  1132 *** System ***
  1133 
  1134 * USER_HOME settings variable points to cross-platform user home
  1135 directory, which coincides with HOME on POSIX systems only.  Likewise,
  1136 the Isabelle path specification "~" now expands to $USER_HOME, instead
  1137 of former $HOME.  A different default for USER_HOME may be set
  1138 explicitly in shell environment, before Isabelle settings are
  1139 evaluated.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: need to adapt Isabelle path where
  1140 the generic user home was intended.
  1141 
  1142 * ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS refers to ISABELLE_HOME in windows file name
  1143 notation, which is useful for the jEdit file browser, for example.
  1144 
  1145 * ISABELLE_JDK_HOME settings variable points to JDK with javac and jar
  1146 (not just JRE).

  1150 New in Isabelle2011-1 (October 2011)
  1151 ------------------------------------
  1152 
  1153 *** General ***
  1154 
  1155 * Improved Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE (PIDE), which can be invoked as
  1156 "isabelle jedit" or "ISABELLE_HOME/Isabelle" on the command line.
  1157 
  1158   - Management of multiple theory files directly from the editor
  1159     buffer store -- bypassing the file-system (no requirement to save
  1160     files for checking).
  1161 
  1162   - Markup of formal entities within the text buffer, with semantic
  1163     highlighting, tooltips and hyperlinks to jump to defining source
  1164     positions.
  1165 
  1166   - Improved text rendering, with sub/superscripts in the source
  1167     buffer (including support for copy/paste wrt. output panel, HTML
  1168     theory output and other non-Isabelle text boxes).
  1169 
  1170   - Refined scheduling of proof checking and printing of results,
  1171     based on interactive editor view.  (Note: jEdit folding and
  1172     narrowing allows to restrict buffer perspectives explicitly.)
  1173 
  1174   - Reduced CPU performance requirements, usable on machines with few
  1175     cores.
  1176 
  1177   - Reduced memory requirements due to pruning of unused document
  1178     versions (garbage collection).
  1179 
  1180 See also ~~/src/Tools/jEdit/README.html for further information,
  1181 including some remaining limitations.
  1182 
  1183 * Theory loader: source files are exclusively located via the master
  1184 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  1185 The global load path (such as src/HOL/Library) has been discontinued.
  1186 Note that the path element ~~ may be used to reference theories in the
  1187 Isabelle home folder -- for instance, "~~/src/HOL/Library/FuncSet".
  1188 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1189 
  1190 * Theory loader: source files are identified by content via SHA1
  1191 digests.  Discontinued former path/modtime identification and optional
  1192 ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT plugin scripts.
  1193 
  1194 * Parallelization of nested Isar proofs is subject to
  1195 Goal.parallel_proofs_threshold (default 100).  See also isabelle
  1196 usedir option -Q.
  1197 
  1198 * Name space: former unsynchronized references are now proper
  1199 configuration options, with more conventional names:
  1200 
  1201   long_names   ~> names_long
  1202   short_names  ~> names_short
  1203   unique_names ~> names_unique
  1204 
  1205 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, need to declare options in context like this:
  1206 
  1207   declare [[names_unique = false]]
  1208 
  1209 * Literal facts `prop` may contain dummy patterns, e.g. `_ = _`.  Note
  1210 that the result needs to be unique, which means fact specifications
  1211 may have to be refined after enriching a proof context.
  1212 
  1213 * Attribute "case_names" has been refined: the assumptions in each case
  1214 can be named now by following the case name with [name1 name2 ...].
  1215 
  1216 * Isabelle/Isar reference manual has been updated and extended:
  1217   - "Synopsis" provides a catalog of main Isar language concepts.
  1218   - Formal references in syntax diagrams, via @{rail} antiquotation.
  1219   - Updated material from classic "ref" manual, notably about
  1220     "Classical Reasoner".
  1221 
  1222 
  1223 *** HOL ***
  1224 
  1225 * Class bot and top require underlying partial order rather than
  1226 preorder: uniqueness of bot and top is guaranteed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1227 
  1228 * Class complete_lattice: generalized a couple of lemmas from sets;
  1229 generalized theorems INF_cong and SUP_cong.  New type classes for
  1230 complete boolean algebras and complete linear orders.  Lemmas
  1231 Inf_less_iff, less_Sup_iff, INF_less_iff, less_SUP_iff now reside in
  1232 class complete_linorder.
  1233 
  1234 Changed proposition of lemmas Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, Inf_fun_def,
  1235 Sup_fun_def, Inf_apply, Sup_apply.
  1236 
  1237 Removed redundant lemmas (the right hand side gives hints how to
  1238 replace them for (metis ...), or (simp only: ...) proofs):
  1239 
  1240   Inf_singleton ~> Inf_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Inf_empty inf_top_right]
  1241   Sup_singleton ~> Sup_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Sup_empty sup_bot_right]
  1242   Inf_binary ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  1243   Sup_binary ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  1244   Int_eq_Inter ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  1245   Un_eq_Union ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  1246   Inter_def ~> INF_def, image_def
  1247   Union_def ~> SUP_def, image_def
  1248   INT_eq ~> INF_def, and image_def
  1249   UN_eq ~> SUP_def, and image_def
  1250   INF_subset ~> INF_superset_mono [OF _ order_refl]
  1251 
  1252 More consistent and comprehensive names:
  1253 
  1254   INTER_eq_Inter_image ~> INF_def
  1255   UNION_eq_Union_image ~> SUP_def
  1256   INFI_def ~> INF_def

  1265   SUPR_bool_eq ~> SUP_bool_eq
  1266   INFI_apply ~> INF_apply
  1267   SUPR_apply ~> SUP_apply
  1268   INTER_def ~> INTER_eq
  1269   UNION_def ~> UNION_eq
  1270 
  1271 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1272 
  1273 * Renamed theory Complete_Lattice to Complete_Lattices.
  1274 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1275 
  1276 * Theory Complete_Lattices: lemmas Inf_eq_top_iff, INF_eq_top_iff,
  1277 INF_image, Inf_insert, INF_top, Inf_top_conv, INF_top_conv, SUP_bot,
  1278 Sup_bot_conv, SUP_bot_conv, Sup_eq_top_iff, SUP_eq_top_iff, SUP_image,
  1279 Sup_insert are now declared as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1280 
  1281 * Theory Lattice: lemmas compl_inf_bot, compl_le_comp_iff,
  1282 compl_sup_top, inf_idem, inf_left_idem, inf_sup_absorb, sup_idem,
  1283 sup_inf_absob, sup_left_idem are now declared as [simp].  Minor
  1284 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1285 
  1286 * Added syntactic classes "inf" and "sup" for the respective
  1287 constants.  INCOMPATIBILITY: Changes in the argument order of the
  1288 (mostly internal) locale predicates for some derived classes.
  1289 
  1290 * Theorem collections ball_simps and bex_simps do not contain theorems
  1291 referring to UNION any longer; these have been moved to collection
  1292 UN_ball_bex_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1293 
  1294 * Theory Archimedean_Field: floor now is defined as parameter of a
  1295 separate type class floor_ceiling.
  1296 
  1297 * Theory Finite_Set: more coherent development of fold_set locales:
  1298 
  1299     locale fun_left_comm ~> locale comp_fun_commute
  1300     locale fun_left_comm_idem ~> locale comp_fun_idem
  1301 
  1302 Both use point-free characterization; interpretation proofs may need
  1303 adjustment.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1304 
  1305 * Theory Limits: Type "'a net" has been renamed to "'a filter", in
  1306 accordance with standard mathematical terminology. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1307 
  1308 * Theory Complex_Main: The locale interpretations for the
  1309 bounded_linear and bounded_bilinear locales have been removed, in
  1310 order to reduce the number of duplicate lemmas. Users must use the
  1311 original names for distributivity theorems, potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

  1406 
  1407 * Theory Complex_Main: The definition of infinite series was
  1408 generalized.  Now it is defined on the type class {topological_space,
  1409 comm_monoid_add}.  Hence it is useable also for extended real numbers.
  1410 
  1411 * Theory Complex_Main: The complex exponential function "expi" is now
  1412 a type-constrained abbreviation for "exp :: complex => complex"; thus
  1413 several polymorphic lemmas about "exp" are now applicable to "expi".
  1414 
  1415 * Code generation:
  1416 
  1417   - Theory Library/Code_Char_ord provides native ordering of
  1418     characters in the target language.
  1419 
  1420   - Commands code_module and code_library are legacy, use export_code
  1421     instead.
  1422 
  1423   - Method "evaluation" is legacy, use method "eval" instead.
  1424 
  1425   - Legacy evaluator "SML" is deactivated by default.  May be
  1426     reactivated by the following theory command:
  1427 
  1428       setup {* Value.add_evaluator ("SML", Codegen.eval_term) *}
  1429 
  1430 * Declare ext [intro] by default.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1431 
  1432 * New proof method "induction" that gives induction hypotheses the
  1433 name "IH", thus distinguishing them from further hypotheses that come
  1434 from rule induction.  The latter are still called "hyps".  Method
  1435 "induction" is a thin wrapper around "induct" and follows the same
  1436 syntax.
  1437 
  1438 * Method "fastsimp" has been renamed to "fastforce", but "fastsimp" is
  1439 still available as a legacy feature for some time.
  1440 
  1441 * Nitpick:
  1442   - Added "need" and "total_consts" options.
  1443   - Reintroduced "show_skolems" option by popular demand.
  1444   - Renamed attribute: nitpick_def ~> nitpick_unfold.
  1445     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1446 
  1447 * Sledgehammer:
  1448   - Use quasi-sound (and efficient) translations by default.
  1449   - Added support for the following provers: E-ToFoF, LEO-II,
  1450     Satallax, SNARK, Waldmeister, and Z3 with TPTP syntax.
  1451   - Automatically preplay and minimize proofs before showing them if
  1452     this can be done within reasonable time.
  1453   - sledgehammer available_provers ~> sledgehammer supported_provers.
  1454     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1455   - Added "preplay_timeout", "slicing", "type_enc", "sound",
  1456     "max_mono_iters", and "max_new_mono_instances" options.
  1457   - Removed "explicit_apply" and "full_types" options as well as "Full
  1458     Types" Proof General menu item. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1459 
  1460 * Metis:
  1461   - Removed "metisF" -- use "metis" instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1462   - Obsoleted "metisFT" -- use "metis (full_types)" instead.
  1463     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1464 
  1465 * Command 'try':
  1466   - Renamed 'try_methods' and added "simp:", "intro:", "dest:", and
  1467     "elim:" options. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1468   - Introduced 'try' that not only runs 'try_methods' but also
  1469     'solve_direct', 'sledgehammer', 'quickcheck', and 'nitpick'.
  1470 
  1471 * Quickcheck:
  1472   - Added "eval" option to evaluate terms for the found counterexample
  1473     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  1474   - Added post-processing of terms to obtain readable counterexamples
  1475     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  1476   - New counterexample generator quickcheck[narrowing] enables
  1477     narrowing-based testing.  Requires the Glasgow Haskell compiler
  1478     with its installation location defined in the Isabelle settings
  1479     environment as ISABELLE_GHC.
  1480   - Removed quickcheck tester "SML" based on the SML code generator
  1481     (formly in HOL/Library).
  1482 
  1483 * Function package: discontinued option "tailrec".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  1484 use 'partial_function' instead.
  1485 
  1486 * Theory Library/Extended_Reals replaces now the positive extended
  1487 reals found in probability theory. This file is extended by
  1488 Multivariate_Analysis/Extended_Real_Limits.
  1489 
  1490 * Theory Library/Old_Recdef: old 'recdef' package has been moved here,
  1491 from where it must be imported explicitly if it is really required.
  1492 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1493 
  1494 * Theory Library/Wfrec: well-founded recursion combinator "wfrec" has
  1495 been moved here.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1496 
  1497 * Theory Library/Saturated provides type of numbers with saturated
  1498 arithmetic.
  1499 
  1500 * Theory Library/Product_Lattice defines a pointwise ordering for the
  1501 product type 'a * 'b, and provides instance proofs for various order
  1502 and lattice type classes.
  1503 
  1504 * Theory Library/Countable now provides the "countable_datatype" proof
  1505 method for proving "countable" class instances for datatypes.
  1506 
  1507 * Theory Library/Cset_Monad allows do notation for computable sets
  1508 (cset) via the generic monad ad-hoc overloading facility.
  1509 
  1510 * Library: Theories of common data structures are split into theories
  1511 for implementation, an invariant-ensuring type, and connection to an
  1512 abstract type. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1513 
  1514   - RBT is split into RBT and RBT_Mapping.
  1515   - AssocList is split and renamed into AList and AList_Mapping.
  1516   - DList is split into DList_Impl, DList, and DList_Cset.
  1517   - Cset is split into Cset and List_Cset.
  1518 
  1519 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity has been renamed to
  1520 Library/Extended_Nat, with name changes of the following types and
  1521 constants:
  1522 
  1523   type inat   ~> type enat
  1524   Fin         ~> enat
  1525   Infty       ~> infinity (overloaded)
  1526   iSuc        ~> eSuc
  1527   the_Fin     ~> the_enat
  1528 
  1529 Every theorem name containing "inat", "Fin", "Infty", or "iSuc" has
  1530 been renamed accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1531 
  1532 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: The euclidean_space type class now
  1533 fixes a constant "Basis :: 'a set" consisting of the standard
  1534 orthonormal basis for the type. Users now have the option of
  1535 quantifying over this set instead of using the "basis" function, e.g.
  1536 "ALL x:Basis. P x" vs "ALL i<DIM('a). P (basis i)".
  1537 
  1538 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Type "('a, 'b) cart" has been renamed
  1539 to "('a, 'b) vec" (the syntax "'a ^ 'b" remains unaffected). Constants
  1540 "Cart_nth" and "Cart_lambda" have been respectively renamed to
  1541 "vec_nth" and "vec_lambda"; theorems mentioning those names have
  1542 changed to match. Definition theorems for overloaded constants now use
  1543 the standard "foo_vec_def" naming scheme. A few other theorems have
  1544 been renamed as follows (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  1545 
  1546   Cart_eq          ~> vec_eq_iff
  1547   dist_nth_le_cart ~> dist_vec_nth_le
  1548   tendsto_vector   ~> vec_tendstoI
  1549   Cauchy_vector    ~> vec_CauchyI
  1550 
  1551 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Several duplicate theorems have been
  1552 removed, and other theorems have been renamed or replaced with more
  1553 general versions. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  1607 * Session HOL-Probability:
  1608   - Caratheodory's extension lemma is now proved for ring_of_sets.
  1609   - Infinite products of probability measures are now available.
  1610   - Sigma closure is independent, if the generator is independent
  1611   - Use extended reals instead of positive extended
  1612     reals. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  1643 *** Document preparation ***
  1644 
  1645 * Antiquotation @{rail} layouts railroad syntax diagrams, see also
  1646 isar-ref manual, both for description and actual application of the
  1647 same.
  1648 
  1649 * Antiquotation @{value} evaluates the given term and presents its
  1650 result.
  1651 
  1652 * Antiquotations: term style "isub" provides ad-hoc conversion of
  1653 variables x1, y23 into subscripted form x\<^isub>1,
  1654 y\<^isub>2\<^isub>3.
  1655 
  1656 * Predefined LaTeX macros for Isabelle symbols \<bind> and \<then>
  1657 (e.g. see ~~/src/HOL/Library/Monad_Syntax.thy).
  1658 
  1659 * Localized \isabellestyle switch can be used within blocks or groups
  1660 like this:
  1661 
  1662   \isabellestyle{it}  %preferred default
  1663   {\isabellestylett @{text "typewriter stuff"}}
  1664 
  1665 * Discontinued special treatment of hard tabulators.  Implicit
  1666 tab-width is now defined as 1.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for visual
  1667 layouts.
  1668 
  1669 
  1670 *** ML ***
  1671 
  1672 * The inner syntax of sort/type/term/prop supports inlined YXML
  1673 representations within quoted string tokens.  By encoding logical
  1674 entities via Term_XML (in ML or Scala) concrete syntax can be
  1675 bypassed, which is particularly useful for producing bits of text
  1676 under external program control.
  1677 
  1678 * Antiquotations for ML and document preparation are managed as theory
  1679 data, which requires explicit setup.
  1680 
  1681 * Isabelle_Process.is_active allows tools to check if the official
  1682 process wrapper is running (Isabelle/Scala/jEdit) or the old TTY loop
  1683 (better known as Proof General).
  1684 
  1685 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  1686 ProofContext is still available for some time as legacy alias.
  1687 
  1688 * Structure Timing provides various operations for timing; supersedes
  1689 former start_timing/end_timing etc.
  1690 
  1691 * Path.print is the official way to show file-system paths to users
  1692 (including quotes etc.).
  1693 
  1694 * Inner syntax: identifiers in parse trees of generic categories
  1695 "logic", "aprop", "idt" etc. carry position information (disguised as
  1696 type constraints).  Occasional INCOMPATIBILITY with non-compliant
  1697 translations that choke on unexpected type constraints.  Positions can
  1698 be stripped in ML translations via Syntax.strip_positions /
  1699 Syntax.strip_positions_ast, or via the syntax constant
  1700 "_strip_positions" within parse trees.  As last resort, positions can
  1701 be disabled via the configuration option Syntax.positions, which is
  1702 called "syntax_positions" in Isar attribute syntax.
  1703 
  1704 * Discontinued special status of various ML structures that contribute
  1705 to structure Syntax (Ast, Lexicon, Mixfix, Parser, Printer etc.): less
  1706 pervasive content, no inclusion in structure Syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  1707 refer directly to Ast.Constant, Lexicon.is_identifier,
  1708 Syntax_Trans.mk_binder_tr etc.
  1709 
  1710 * Typed print translation: discontinued show_sorts argument, which is
  1711 already available via context of "advanced" translation.
  1712 
  1713 * Refined PARALLEL_GOALS tactical: degrades gracefully for schematic
  1714 goal states; body tactic needs to address all subgoals uniformly.
  1715 
  1716 * Slightly more special eq_list/eq_set, with shortcut involving
  1717 pointer equality (assumes that eq relation is reflexive).
  1718 
  1719 * Classical tactics use proper Proof.context instead of historic types
  1720 claset/clasimpset.  Old-style declarations like addIs, addEs, addDs
  1721 operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type claset retains its use as
  1722 snapshot of the classical context, which can be recovered via
  1723 (put_claset HOL_cs) etc.  Type clasimpset has been discontinued.
  1724 INCOMPATIBILITY, classical tactics and derived proof methods require
  1725 proper Proof.context.
  1726 
  1727 
  1728 *** System ***
  1729 
  1730 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2, which was the last version
  1731 without proper multithreading and TimeLimit implementation.
  1732 
  1733 * Discontinued old lib/scripts/polyml-platform, which has been
  1734 obsolete since Isabelle2009-2.
  1735 
  1736 * Various optional external tools are referenced more robustly and
  1737 uniformly by explicit Isabelle settings as follows:
  1738 
  1739   ISABELLE_CSDP   (formerly CSDP_EXE)
  1740   ISABELLE_GHC    (formerly EXEC_GHC or GHC_PATH)
  1741   ISABELLE_OCAML  (formerly EXEC_OCAML)
  1742   ISABELLE_SWIPL  (formerly EXEC_SWIPL)
  1743   ISABELLE_YAP    (formerly EXEC_YAP)
  1744 
  1745 Note that automated detection from the file-system or search path has
  1746 been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1747 
  1748 * Scala layer provides JVM method invocation service for static
  1749 methods of type (String)String, see Invoke_Scala.method in ML.  For
  1750 example:
  1751 
  1752   Invoke_Scala.method "java.lang.System.getProperty" "java.home"
  1753 
  1754 Together with YXML.string_of_body/parse_body and XML.Encode/Decode
  1755 this allows to pass structured values between ML and Scala.
  1756 
  1757 * The IsabelleText fonts includes some further glyphs to support the
  1758 Prover IDE.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: users who happen to have
  1759 installed a local copy (which is normally *not* required) need to
  1760 delete or update it from ~~/lib/fonts/.
  1761 
  1762 
  1763 
  1764 New in Isabelle2011 (January 2011)
  1765 ----------------------------------
  1766 
  1767 *** General ***
  1768 
  1769 * Experimental Prover IDE based on Isabelle/Scala and jEdit (see
  1770 src/Tools/jEdit).  This also serves as IDE for Isabelle/ML, with
  1771 useful tooltips and hyperlinks produced from its static analysis.  The
  1772 bundled component provides an executable Isabelle tool that can be run
  1773 like this:
  1774 
  1775   Isabelle2011/bin/isabelle jedit
  1776 
  1777 * Significantly improved Isabelle/Isar implementation manual.
  1778 
  1779 * System settings: ISABELLE_HOME_USER now includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER
  1780 (and thus refers to something like $HOME/.isabelle/Isabelle2011),
  1781 while the default heap location within that directory lacks that extra
  1782 suffix.  This isolates multiple Isabelle installations from each
  1783 other, avoiding problems with old settings in new versions.
  1784 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to copy/upgrade old user settings manually.
  1785 
  1786 * Source files are always encoded as UTF-8, instead of old-fashioned
  1787 ISO-Latin-1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Isabelle LaTeX documents might require
  1788 the following package declarations:
  1789 
  1790   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
  1791   \usepackage{textcomp}
  1792 
  1793 * Explicit treatment of UTF-8 sequences as Isabelle symbols, such that
  1794 a Unicode character is treated as a single symbol, not a sequence of
  1795 non-ASCII bytes as before.  Since Isabelle/ML string literals may
  1796 contain symbols without further backslash escapes, Unicode can now be
  1797 used here as well.  Recall that Symbol.explode in ML provides a
  1798 consistent view on symbols, while raw explode (or String.explode)
  1799 merely give a byte-oriented representation.
  1800 
  1801 * Theory loader: source files are primarily located via the master
  1802 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  1803 The global load path is still partially available as legacy feature.
  1804 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY due to subtle change in file lookup: use
  1805 explicit paths, relatively to the theory.
  1806 
  1807 * Special treatment of ML file names has been discontinued.
  1808 Historically, optional extensions .ML or .sml were added on demand --
  1809 at the cost of clarity of file dependencies.  Recall that Isabelle/ML
  1810 files exclusively use the .ML extension.  Minor INCOMPATIBILTY.
  1811 
  1812 * Various options that affect pretty printing etc. are now properly
  1813 handled within the context via configuration options, instead of
  1814 unsynchronized references or print modes.  There are both ML Config.T
  1815 entities and Isar declaration attributes to access these.
  1816 
  1817   ML (Config.T)                 Isar (attribute)

  1840   Thy_Output.break              thy_output_break
  1841 
  1842 Note that corresponding "..._default" references in ML may only be
  1843 changed globally at the ROOT session setup, but *not* within a theory.
  1844 The option "show_abbrevs" supersedes the former print mode
  1845 "no_abbrevs" with inverted meaning.
  1846 
  1847 * More systematic naming of some configuration options.
  1848 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1849 
  1850   trace_simp  ~>  simp_trace
  1851   debug_simp  ~>  simp_debug
  1852 
  1853 * Support for real valued configuration options, using simplistic
  1854 floating-point notation that coincides with the inner syntax for
  1855 float_token.
  1856 
  1857 * Support for real valued preferences (with approximative PGIP type):
  1858 front-ends need to accept "pgint" values in float notation.
  1859 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1860 
  1861 * The IsabelleText font now includes Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic from
  1862 DejaVu Sans.
  1863 
  1864 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.0 and 5.1 versions.
  1865 
  1866 
  1867 *** Pure ***
  1868 
  1869 * Command 'type_synonym' (with single argument) replaces somewhat
  1870 outdated 'types', which is still available as legacy feature for some
  1871 time.
  1872 
  1873 * Command 'nonterminal' (with 'and' separated list of arguments)
  1874 replaces somewhat outdated 'nonterminals'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1875 
  1876 * Command 'notepad' replaces former 'example_proof' for
  1877 experimentation in Isar without any result.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1878 
  1879 * Locale interpretation commands 'interpret' and 'sublocale' accept
  1880 lists of equations to map definitions in a locale to appropriate
  1881 entities in the context of the interpretation.  The 'interpretation'
  1882 command already provided this functionality.
  1883 
  1884 * Diagnostic command 'print_dependencies' prints the locale instances
  1885 that would be activated if the specified expression was interpreted in
  1886 the current context.  Variant "print_dependencies!" assumes a context
  1887 without interpretations.
  1888 
  1889 * Diagnostic command 'print_interps' prints interpretations in proofs
  1890 in addition to interpretations in theories.
  1891 
  1892 * Discontinued obsolete 'global' and 'local' commands to manipulate
  1893 the theory name space.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.  The ML functions
  1894 Sign.root_path and Sign.local_path may be applied directly where this
  1895 feature is still required for historical reasons.
  1896 
  1897 * Discontinued obsolete 'constdefs' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  1898 'definition' instead.
  1899 
  1900 * The "prems" fact, which refers to the accidental collection of
  1901 foundational premises in the context, is now explicitly marked as
  1902 legacy feature and will be discontinued soon.  Consider using "assms"
  1903 of the head statement or reference facts by explicit names.
  1904 
  1905 * Document antiquotations @{class} and @{type} print classes and type
  1906 constructors.
  1907 
  1908 * Document antiquotation @{file} checks file/directory entries within
  1909 the local file system.
  1910 
  1911 
  1912 *** HOL ***
  1913 
  1914 * Coercive subtyping: functions can be declared as coercions and type
  1915 inference will add them as necessary upon input of a term.  Theory
  1916 Complex_Main declares real :: nat => real and real :: int => real as
  1917 coercions. A coercion function f is declared like this:
  1918 
  1919   declare [[coercion f]]
  1920 
  1921 To lift coercions through type constructors (e.g. from nat => real to
  1922 nat list => real list), map functions can be declared, e.g.
  1923 
  1924   declare [[coercion_map map]]
  1925 
  1926 Currently coercion inference is activated only in theories including
  1927 real numbers, i.e. descendants of Complex_Main.  This is controlled by
  1928 the configuration option "coercion_enabled", e.g. it can be enabled in
  1929 other theories like this:
  1930 
  1931   declare [[coercion_enabled]]
  1932 
  1933 * Command 'partial_function' provides basic support for recursive
  1934 function definitions over complete partial orders.  Concrete instances
  1935 are provided for i) the option type, ii) tail recursion on arbitrary
  1936 types, and iii) the heap monad of Imperative_HOL.  See
  1937 src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy and src/HOL/Imperative_HOL/ex/Linked_Lists.thy
  1938 for examples.
  1939 
  1940 * Function package: f.psimps rules are no longer implicitly declared
  1941 as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1942 
  1943 * Datatype package: theorems generated for executable equality (class
  1944 "eq") carry proper names and are treated as default code equations.
  1945 
  1946 * Inductive package: now offers command 'inductive_simps' to
  1947 automatically derive instantiated and simplified equations for
  1948 inductive predicates, similar to 'inductive_cases'.
  1949 
  1950 * Command 'enriched_type' allows to register properties of the
  1951 functorial structure of types.
  1952 
  1953 * Improved infrastructure for term evaluation using code generator
  1954 techniques, in particular static evaluation conversions.
  1955 
  1956 * Code generator: Scala (2.8 or higher) has been added to the target
  1957 languages.
  1958 
  1959 * Code generator: globbing constant expressions "*" and "Theory.*"
  1960 have been replaced by the more idiomatic "_" and "Theory._".
  1961 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1962 
  1963 * Code generator: export_code without explicit file declaration prints
  1964 to standard output.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1965 
  1966 * Code generator: do not print function definitions for case
  1967 combinators any longer.
  1968 
  1969 * Code generator: simplification with rules determined with
  1970 src/Tools/Code/code_simp.ML and method "code_simp".
  1971 
  1972 * Code generator for records: more idiomatic representation of record
  1973 types.  Warning: records are not covered by ancient SML code
  1974 generation any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  In cases of need, a suitable
  1975 rep_datatype declaration helps to succeed then:
  1976 
  1977   record 'a foo = ...
  1978   ...
  1979   rep_datatype foo_ext ...
  1980 
  1981 * Records: logical foundation type for records does not carry a
  1982 '_type' suffix any longer (obsolete due to authentic syntax).
  1983 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1984 
  1985 * Quickcheck now by default uses exhaustive testing instead of random
  1986 testing.  Random testing can be invoked by "quickcheck [random]",
  1987 exhaustive testing by "quickcheck [exhaustive]".
  1988 
  1989 * Quickcheck instantiates polymorphic types with small finite
  1990 datatypes by default. This enables a simple execution mechanism to
  1991 handle quantifiers and function equality over the finite datatypes.
  1992 
  1993 * Quickcheck random generator has been renamed from "code" to
  1994 "random".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1995 
  1996 * Quickcheck now has a configurable time limit which is set to 30
  1997 seconds by default. This can be changed by adding [timeout = n] to the
  1998 quickcheck command. The time limit for Auto Quickcheck is still set
  1999 independently.
  2000 
  2001 * Quickcheck in locales considers interpretations of that locale for
  2002 counter example search.
  2003 
  2004 * Sledgehammer:
  2005   - Added "smt" and "remote_smt" provers based on the "smt" proof
  2006     method. See the Sledgehammer manual for details ("isabelle doc
  2007     sledgehammer").
  2008   - Renamed commands:
  2009     sledgehammer atp_info ~> sledgehammer running_provers
  2010     sledgehammer atp_kill ~> sledgehammer kill_provers
  2011     sledgehammer available_atps ~> sledgehammer available_provers
  2012     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2013   - Renamed options:
  2014     sledgehammer [atps = ...] ~> sledgehammer [provers = ...]
  2015     sledgehammer [atp = ...] ~> sledgehammer [prover = ...]
  2016     sledgehammer [timeout = 77 s] ~> sledgehammer [timeout = 77]
  2017     (and "ms" and "min" are no longer supported)
  2018     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2019 
  2020 * Nitpick:
  2021   - Renamed options:
  2022     nitpick [timeout = 77 s] ~> nitpick [timeout = 77]
  2023     nitpick [tac_timeout = 777 ms] ~> nitpick [tac_timeout = 0.777]
  2024     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2025   - Added support for partial quotient types.
  2026   - Added local versions of the "Nitpick.register_xxx" functions.
  2027   - Added "whack" option.
  2028   - Allow registration of quotient types as codatatypes.
  2029   - Improved "merge_type_vars" option to merge more types.
  2030   - Removed unsound "fast_descrs" option.
  2031   - Added custom symmetry breaking for datatypes, making it possible to reach
  2032     higher cardinalities.
  2033   - Prevent the expansion of too large definitions.
  2034 
  2035 * Proof methods "metis" and "meson" now have configuration options
  2036 "meson_trace", "metis_trace", and "metis_verbose" that can be enabled
  2037 to diagnose these tools. E.g.
  2038 
  2039     using [[metis_trace = true]]
  2040 
  2041 * Auto Solve: Renamed "Auto Solve Direct".  The tool is now available
  2042 manually as command 'solve_direct'.
  2043 
  2044 * The default SMT solver Z3 must be enabled explicitly (due to
  2045 licensing issues) by setting the environment variable
  2046 Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL in etc/settings of the component, for example.  For
  2047 commercial applications, the SMT solver CVC3 is provided as fall-back;
  2048 changing the SMT solver is done via the configuration option
  2049 "smt_solver".
  2050 
  2051 * Remote SMT solvers need to be referred to by the "remote_" prefix,
  2052 i.e. "remote_cvc3" and "remote_z3".
  2053 
  2054 * Added basic SMT support for datatypes, records, and typedefs using
  2055 the oracle mode (no proofs).  Direct support of pairs has been dropped
  2056 in exchange (pass theorems fst_conv snd_conv pair_collapse to the SMT
  2057 support for a similar behavior).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2058 
  2059 * Changed SMT configuration options:
  2060   - Renamed:
  2061     z3_proofs ~> smt_oracle (with inverted meaning)
  2062     z3_trace_assms ~> smt_trace_used_facts
  2063     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2064   - Added:
  2065     smt_verbose
  2066     smt_random_seed
  2067     smt_datatypes
  2068     smt_infer_triggers
  2069     smt_monomorph_limit
  2070     cvc3_options
  2071     remote_cvc3_options
  2072     remote_z3_options
  2073     yices_options
  2074 
  2075 * Boogie output files (.b2i files) need to be declared in the theory
  2076 header.
  2077 
  2078 * Simplification procedure "list_to_set_comprehension" rewrites list
  2079 comprehensions applied to List.set to set comprehensions.  Occasional
  2080 INCOMPATIBILITY, may be deactivated like this:
  2081 
  2082   declare [[simproc del: list_to_set_comprehension]]
  2083 
  2084 * Removed old version of primrec package.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2085 
  2086 * Removed simplifier congruence rule of "prod_case", as has for long
  2087 been the case with "split".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2088 
  2089 * String.literal is a type, but not a datatype.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2090 
  2091 * Removed [split_format ... and ... and ...] version of
  2092 [split_format].  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2093 
  2094 * Predicate "sorted" now defined inductively, with nice induction
  2095 rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY: former sorted.simps now named sorted_simps.
  2096 
  2097 * Constant "contents" renamed to "the_elem", to free the generic name
  2098 contents for other uses.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2099 
  2100 * Renamed class eq and constant eq (for code generation) to class
  2101 equal and constant equal, plus renaming of related facts and various
  2102 tuning.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2103 
  2104 * Dropped type classes mult_mono and mult_mono1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2105 
  2106 * Removed output syntax "'a ~=> 'b" for "'a => 'b option".
  2107 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2108 
  2109 * Renamed theory Fset to Cset, type Fset.fset to Cset.set, in order to
  2110 avoid confusion with finite sets.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2111 
  2112 * Abandoned locales equiv, congruent and congruent2 for equivalence
  2113 relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use equivI rather than equiv_intro (same
  2114 for congruent(2)).
  2115 
  2116 * Some previously unqualified names have been qualified:
  2117 
  2118   types
  2119     bool ~> HOL.bool
  2120     nat ~> Nat.nat
  2121

  2143     curry ~> Product_Type.curry
  2144     op : ~> Set.member
  2145     Collect ~> Set.Collect
  2146 
  2147 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2148 
  2149 * More canonical naming convention for some fundamental definitions:
  2150 
  2151     bot_bool_eq ~> bot_bool_def
  2152     top_bool_eq ~> top_bool_def
  2153     inf_bool_eq ~> inf_bool_def
  2154     sup_bool_eq ~> sup_bool_def
  2155     bot_fun_eq  ~> bot_fun_def
  2156     top_fun_eq  ~> top_fun_def
  2157     inf_fun_eq  ~> inf_fun_def
  2158     sup_fun_eq  ~> sup_fun_def
  2159 
  2160 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2161 
  2162 * More stylized fact names:
  2163 
  2164   expand_fun_eq ~> fun_eq_iff
  2165   expand_set_eq ~> set_eq_iff
  2166   set_ext       ~> set_eqI
  2167   nat_number    ~> eval_nat_numeral
  2168 
  2169 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2170 
  2171 * Refactoring of code-generation specific operations in theory List:
  2172 
  2173   constants
  2174     null ~> List.null
  2175 
  2176   facts
  2177     mem_iff ~> member_def
  2178     null_empty ~> null_def
  2179 
  2180 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that these were not supposed to be used
  2181 regularly unless for striking reasons; their main purpose was code
  2182 generation.
  2183 
  2184 Various operations from the Haskell prelude are used for generating
  2185 Haskell code.
  2186 
  2187 * Term "bij f" is now an abbreviation of "bij_betw f UNIV UNIV".  Term
  2188 "surj f" is now an abbreviation of "range f = UNIV".  The theorems
  2189 bij_def and surj_def are unchanged.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2190 
  2191 * Abolished some non-alphabetic type names: "prod" and "sum" replace
  2192 "*" and "+" respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2193 
  2194 * Name "Plus" of disjoint sum operator "<+>" is now hidden.  Write
  2195 "Sum_Type.Plus" instead.
  2196 
  2197 * Constant "split" has been merged with constant "prod_case"; names of
  2198 ML functions, facts etc. involving split have been retained so far,
  2199 though.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2200 
  2201 * Dropped old infix syntax "_ mem _" for List.member; use "_ : set _"
  2202 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2203 
  2204 * Removed lemma "Option.is_none_none" which duplicates "is_none_def".
  2205 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2206 
  2207 * Former theory Library/Enum is now part of the HOL-Main image.
  2208 INCOMPATIBILITY: all constants of the Enum theory now have to be
  2209 referred to by its qualified name.
  2210 
  2211   enum    ~>  Enum.enum
  2212   nlists  ~>  Enum.nlists
  2213   product ~>  Enum.product
  2214 
  2215 * Theory Library/Monad_Syntax provides do-syntax for monad types.
  2216 Syntax in Library/State_Monad has been changed to avoid ambiguities.
  2217 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2218 
  2219 * Theory Library/SetsAndFunctions has been split into
  2220 Library/Function_Algebras and Library/Set_Algebras; canonical names
  2221 for instance definitions for functions; various improvements.
  2222 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2223 
  2224 * Theory Library/Multiset provides stable quicksort implementation of
  2225 sort_key.
  2226 
  2227 * Theory Library/Multiset: renamed empty_idemp ~> empty_neutral.
  2228 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2229 
  2230 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: introduced a type class for euclidean
  2231 space.  Most theorems are now stated in terms of euclidean spaces
  2232 instead of finite cartesian products.
  2233 
  2234   types
  2235     real ^ 'n ~>  'a::real_vector
  2236               ~>  'a::euclidean_space
  2237               ~>  'a::ordered_euclidean_space
  2238         (depends on your needs)
  2239 
  2240   constants
  2241      _ $ _        ~> _ $$ _
  2242      \<chi> x. _  ~> \<chi>\<chi> x. _
  2243      CARD('n)     ~> DIM('a)
  2244 
  2245 Also note that the indices are now natural numbers and not from some
  2246 finite type. Finite cartesian products of euclidean spaces, products
  2247 of euclidean spaces the real and complex numbers are instantiated to
  2248 be euclidean_spaces.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2249 
  2250 * Session Probability: introduced pextreal as positive extended real
  2251 numbers.  Use pextreal as value for measures.  Introduce the
  2252 Radon-Nikodym derivative, product spaces and Fubini's theorem for
  2253 arbitrary sigma finite measures.  Introduces Lebesgue measure based on
  2254 the integral in Multivariate Analysis.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2255 
  2256 * Session Imperative_HOL: revamped, corrected dozens of inadequacies.
  2257 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2258 
  2259 * Session SPARK (with image HOL-SPARK) provides commands to load and
  2260 prove verification conditions generated by the SPARK Ada program
  2261 verifier.  See also src/HOL/SPARK and src/HOL/SPARK/Examples.
  2262 
  2263 
  2264 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  2265 
  2266 * Theorems for additive ring operations (locale abelian_monoid and
  2267 descendants) are generated by interpretation from their multiplicative
  2268 counterparts.  Names (in particular theorem names) have the mandatory
  2269 qualifier 'add'.  Previous theorem names are redeclared for
  2270 compatibility.
  2271 
  2272 * Structure "int_ring" is now an abbreviation (previously a
  2273 definition).  This fits more natural with advanced interpretations.
  2274 
  2275 
  2276 *** HOLCF ***
  2277 
  2278 * The domain package now runs in definitional mode by default: The
  2279 former command 'new_domain' is now called 'domain'.  To use the domain
  2280 package in its original axiomatic mode, use 'domain (unsafe)'.
  2281 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2282 
  2283 * The new class "domain" is now the default sort.  Class "predomain"
  2284 is an unpointed version of "domain". Theories can be updated by
  2285 replacing sort annotations as shown below.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2286 
  2287   'a::type ~> 'a::countable
  2288   'a::cpo  ~> 'a::predomain
  2289   'a::pcpo ~> 'a::domain
  2290 
  2291 * The old type class "rep" has been superseded by class "domain".
  2292 Accordingly, users of the definitional package must remove any
  2293 "default_sort rep" declarations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2294 
  2295 * The domain package (definitional mode) now supports unpointed
  2296 predomain argument types, as long as they are marked 'lazy'. (Strict
  2297 arguments must be in class "domain".) For example, the following
  2298 domain definition now works:
  2299 
  2300   domain natlist = nil | cons (lazy "nat discr") (lazy "natlist")
  2301 
  2302 * Theory HOLCF/Library/HOL_Cpo provides cpo and predomain class
  2303 instances for types from main HOL: bool, nat, int, char, 'a + 'b,
  2304 'a option, and 'a list.  Additionally, it configures fixrec and the
  2305 domain package to work with these types.  For example:
  2306 
  2307   fixrec isInl :: "('a + 'b) u -> tr"
  2308     where "isInl$(up$(Inl x)) = TT" | "isInl$(up$(Inr y)) = FF"
  2309 
  2310   domain V = VFun (lazy "V -> V") | VCon (lazy "nat") (lazy "V list")
  2311 
  2312 * The "(permissive)" option of fixrec has been replaced with a
  2313 per-equation "(unchecked)" option. See
  2314 src/HOL/HOLCF/Tutorial/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2315 
  2316 * The "bifinite" class no longer fixes a constant "approx"; the class
  2317 now just asserts that such a function exists.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2318 
  2319 * Former type "alg_defl" has been renamed to "defl".  HOLCF no longer
  2320 defines an embedding of type 'a defl into udom by default; instances
  2321 of "bifinite" and "domain" classes are available in
  2322 src/HOL/HOLCF/Library/Defl_Bifinite.thy.
  2323 
  2324 * The syntax "REP('a)" has been replaced with "DEFL('a)".
  2325 
  2326 * The predicate "directed" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2327 
  2328 * The type class "finite_po" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2329 
  2330 * The function "cprod_map" has been renamed to "prod_map".
  2331 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2332 
  2333 * The monadic bind operator on each powerdomain has new binder syntax
  2334 similar to sets, e.g. "\<Union>\<sharp>x\<in>xs. t" represents
  2335 "upper_bind\<cdot>xs\<cdot>(\<Lambda> x. t)".
  2336 
  2337 * The infix syntax for binary union on each powerdomain has changed
  2338 from e.g. "+\<sharp>" to "\<union>\<sharp>", for consistency with set
  2339 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2340 
  2341 * The constant "UU" has been renamed to "bottom".  The syntax "UU" is
  2342 still supported as an input translation.
  2343 
  2344 * Renamed some theorems (the original names are also still available).
  2345 
  2346   expand_fun_below   ~> fun_below_iff
  2347   below_fun_ext      ~> fun_belowI
  2348   expand_cfun_eq     ~> cfun_eq_iff
  2349   ext_cfun           ~> cfun_eqI
  2350   expand_cfun_below  ~> cfun_below_iff
  2351   below_cfun_ext     ~> cfun_belowI
  2352   cont2cont_Rep_CFun ~> cont2cont_APP
  2353 
  2354 * The Abs and Rep functions for various types have changed names.
  2355 Related theorem names have also changed to match. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2356 
  2357   Rep_CFun  ~> Rep_cfun
  2358   Abs_CFun  ~> Abs_cfun
  2359   Rep_Sprod ~> Rep_sprod
  2360   Abs_Sprod ~> Abs_sprod
  2361   Rep_Ssum  ~> Rep_ssum
  2362   Abs_Ssum  ~> Abs_ssum
  2363 
  2364 * Lemmas with names of the form *_defined_iff or *_strict_iff have
  2365 been renamed to *_bottom_iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2366 
  2367 * Various changes to bisimulation/coinduction with domain package:
  2368 
  2369   - Definitions of "bisim" constants no longer mention definedness.
  2370   - With mutual recursion, "bisim" predicate is now curried.
  2371   - With mutual recursion, each type gets a separate coind theorem.
  2372   - Variable names in bisim_def and coinduct rules have changed.
  2373 
  2374 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2375 
  2376 * Case combinators generated by the domain package for type "foo" are
  2377 now named "foo_case" instead of "foo_when".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2378 
  2379 * Several theorems have been renamed to more accurately reflect the
  2380 names of constants and types involved.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2456 
  2457 
  2458 *** ML ***
  2459 
  2460 * Antiquotation @{assert} inlines a function bool -> unit that raises
  2461 Fail if the argument is false.  Due to inlining the source position of
  2462 failed assertions is included in the error output.
  2463 
  2464 * Discontinued antiquotation @{theory_ref}, which is obsolete since ML
  2465 text is in practice always evaluated with a stable theory checkpoint.
  2466 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use (Theory.check_thy @{theory}) instead.
  2467 
  2468 * Antiquotation @{theory A} refers to theory A from the ancestry of
  2469 the current context, not any accidental theory loader state as before.
  2470 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, subtle change in semantics.
  2471 
  2472 * Syntax.pretty_priority (default 0) configures the required priority
  2473 of pretty-printed output and thus affects insertion of parentheses.
  2474 
  2475 * Syntax.default_root (default "any") configures the inner syntax
  2476 category (nonterminal symbol) for parsing of terms.
  2477 
  2478 * Former exception Library.UnequalLengths now coincides with
  2479 ListPair.UnequalLengths.
  2480 
  2481 * Renamed structure MetaSimplifier to Raw_Simplifier.  Note that the
  2482 main functionality is provided by structure Simplifier.
  2483 
  2484 * Renamed raw "explode" function to "raw_explode" to emphasize its
  2485 meaning.  Note that internally to Isabelle, Symbol.explode is used in
  2486 almost all situations.
  2487 
  2488 * Discontinued obsolete function sys_error and exception SYS_ERROR.
  2489 See implementation manual for further details on exceptions in
  2490 Isabelle/ML.
  2491 
  2492 * Renamed setmp_noncritical to Unsynchronized.setmp to emphasize its
  2493 meaning.
  2494 
  2495 * Renamed structure PureThy to Pure_Thy and moved most of its
  2496 operations to structure Global_Theory, to emphasize that this is
  2497 rarely-used global-only stuff.
  2498 
  2499 * Discontinued Output.debug.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use plain writeln
  2500 instead (or tracing for high-volume output).
  2501 
  2502 * Configuration option show_question_marks only affects regular pretty
  2503 printing of types and terms, not raw Term.string_of_vname.
  2504 
  2505 * ML_Context.thm and ML_Context.thms are no longer pervasive.  Rare
  2506 INCOMPATIBILITY, superseded by static antiquotations @{thm} and
  2507 @{thms} for most purposes.
  2508 
  2509 * ML structure Unsynchronized is never opened, not even in Isar
  2510 interaction mode as before.  Old Unsynchronized.set etc. have been
  2511 discontinued -- use plain := instead.  This should be *rare* anyway,
  2512 since modern tools always work via official context data, notably
  2513 configuration options.
  2514 
  2515 * Parallel and asynchronous execution requires special care concerning
  2516 interrupts.  Structure Exn provides some convenience functions that
  2517 avoid working directly with raw Interrupt.  User code must not absorb
  2518 interrupts -- intermediate handling (for cleanup etc.) needs to be
  2519 followed by re-raising of the original exception.  Another common
  2520 source of mistakes are "handle _" patterns, which make the meaning of
  2521 the program subject to physical effects of the environment.
  2522

  2524 
  2525 New in Isabelle2009-2 (June 2010)
  2526 ---------------------------------
  2527 
  2528 *** General ***
  2529 
  2530 * Authentic syntax for *all* logical entities (type classes, type
  2531 constructors, term constants): provides simple and robust
  2532 correspondence between formal entities and concrete syntax.  Within
  2533 the parse tree / AST representations, "constants" are decorated by
  2534 their category (class, type, const) and spelled out explicitly with
  2535 their full internal name.
  2536 
  2537 Substantial INCOMPATIBILITY concerning low-level syntax declarations
  2538 and translations (translation rules and translation functions in ML).
  2539 Some hints on upgrading:
  2540 
  2541   - Many existing uses of 'syntax' and 'translations' can be replaced
  2542     by more modern 'type_notation', 'notation' and 'abbreviation',
  2543     which are independent of this issue.
  2544 
  2545   - 'translations' require markup within the AST; the term syntax
  2546     provides the following special forms:
  2547 
  2548       CONST c   -- produces syntax version of constant c from context
  2549       XCONST c  -- literally c, checked as constant from context
  2550       c         -- literally c, if declared by 'syntax'
  2551 
  2552     Plain identifiers are treated as AST variables -- occasionally the
  2553     system indicates accidental variables via the error "rhs contains
  2554     extra variables".
  2555 
  2556     Type classes and type constructors are marked according to their
  2557     concrete syntax.  Some old translations rules need to be written
  2558     for the "type" category, using type constructor application
  2559     instead of pseudo-term application of the default category
  2560     "logic".
  2561 
  2562   - 'parse_translation' etc. in ML may use the following
  2563     antiquotations:
  2564 
  2565       @{class_syntax c}   -- type class c within parse tree / AST
  2566       @{term_syntax c}    -- type constructor c within parse tree / AST
  2567       @{const_syntax c}   -- ML version of "CONST c" above
  2568       @{syntax_const c}   -- literally c (checked wrt. 'syntax' declarations)
  2569 
  2570   - Literal types within 'typed_print_translations', i.e. those *not*
  2571     represented as pseudo-terms are represented verbatim.  Use @{class
  2572     c} or @{type_name c} here instead of the above syntax
  2573     antiquotations.
  2574 
  2575 Note that old non-authentic syntax was based on unqualified base
  2576 names, so all of the above "constant" names would coincide.  Recall
  2577 that 'print_syntax' and ML_command "set Syntax.trace_ast" help to
  2578 diagnose syntax problems.
  2579 
  2580 * Type constructors admit general mixfix syntax, not just infix.
  2581 
  2582 * Concrete syntax may be attached to local entities without a proof
  2583 body, too.  This works via regular mixfix annotations for 'fix',
  2584 'def', 'obtain' etc. or via the explicit 'write' command, which is
  2585 similar to the 'notation' command in theory specifications.
  2586 
  2587 * Discontinued unnamed infix syntax (legacy feature for many years) --
  2588 need to specify constant name and syntax separately.  Internal ML
  2589 datatype constructors have been renamed from InfixName to Infix etc.
  2590 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2591 
  2592 * Schematic theorem statements need to be explicitly markup as such,
  2593 via commands 'schematic_lemma', 'schematic_theorem',
  2594 'schematic_corollary'.  Thus the relevance of the proof is made
  2595 syntactically clear, which impacts performance in a parallel or
  2596 asynchronous interactive environment.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2597 
  2598 * Use of cumulative prems via "!" in some proof methods has been
  2599 discontinued (old legacy feature).
  2600 
  2601 * References 'trace_simp' and 'debug_simp' have been replaced by
  2602 configuration options stored in the context. Enabling tracing (the
  2603 case of debugging is similar) in proofs works via
  2604 
  2605   using [[trace_simp = true]]
  2606 
  2607 Tracing is then active for all invocations of the simplifier in
  2608 subsequent goal refinement steps. Tracing may also still be enabled or
  2609 disabled via the ProofGeneral settings menu.
  2610 
  2611 * Separate commands 'hide_class', 'hide_type', 'hide_const',
  2612 'hide_fact' replace the former 'hide' KIND command.  Minor
  2613 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2614 
  2615 * Improved parallelism of proof term normalization: usedir -p2 -q0 is
  2616 more efficient than combinations with -q1 or -q2.
  2617 
  2618 
  2619 *** Pure ***
  2620 
  2621 * Proofterms record type-class reasoning explicitly, using the
  2622 "unconstrain" operation internally.  This eliminates all sort
  2623 constraints from a theorem and proof, introducing explicit
  2624 OFCLASS-premises.  On the proof term level, this operation is
  2625 automatically applied at theorem boundaries, such that closed proofs
  2626 are always free of sort constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools that
  2627 inspect proof terms.
  2628 
  2629 * Local theory specifications may depend on extra type variables that
  2630 are not present in the result type -- arguments TYPE('a) :: 'a itself
  2631 are added internally.  For example:
  2632 
  2633   definition unitary :: bool where "unitary = (ALL (x::'a) y. x = y)"
  2634 
  2635 * Predicates of locales introduced by classes carry a mandatory
  2636 "class" prefix.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2637 
  2638 * Vacuous class specifications observe default sort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2639 
  2640 * Old 'axclass' command has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  2641 'class' instead.
  2642 
  2643 * Command 'code_reflect' allows to incorporate generated ML code into
  2644 runtime environment; replaces immature code_datatype antiquotation.
  2645 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2646 
  2647 * Code generator: simple concept for abstract datatypes obeying
  2648 invariants.
  2649 
  2650 * Code generator: details of internal data cache have no impact on the
  2651 user space functionality any longer.
  2652 
  2653 * Methods "unfold_locales" and "intro_locales" ignore non-locale
  2654 subgoals.  This is more appropriate for interpretations with 'where'.
  2655 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2656 
  2657 * Command 'example_proof' opens an empty proof body.  This allows to
  2658 experiment with Isar, without producing any persistent result.
  2659 
  2660 * Commands 'type_notation' and 'no_type_notation' declare type syntax
  2661 within a local theory context, with explicit checking of the
  2662 constructors involved (in contrast to the raw 'syntax' versions).
  2663 
  2664 * Commands 'types' and 'typedecl' now work within a local theory
  2665 context -- without introducing dependencies on parameters or
  2666 assumptions, which is not possible in Isabelle/Pure.
  2667 
  2668 * Command 'defaultsort' has been renamed to 'default_sort', it works
  2669 within a local theory context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2670 
  2671 
  2672 *** HOL ***
  2673 
  2674 * Command 'typedef' now works within a local theory context -- without
  2675 introducing dependencies on parameters or assumptions, which is not
  2676 possible in Isabelle/Pure/HOL.  Note that the logical environment may
  2677 contain multiple interpretations of local typedefs (with different
  2678 non-emptiness proofs), even in a global theory context.
  2679 
  2680 * New package for quotient types.  Commands 'quotient_type' and
  2681 'quotient_definition' may be used for defining types and constants by
  2682 quotient constructions.  An example is the type of integers created by
  2683 quotienting pairs of natural numbers:
  2684 
  2685   fun
  2686     intrel :: "(nat * nat) => (nat * nat) => bool"
  2687   where
  2688     "intrel (x, y) (u, v) = (x + v = u + y)"
  2689 
  2690   quotient_type int = "nat * nat" / intrel
  2691     by (auto simp add: equivp_def expand_fun_eq)
  2692 
  2693   quotient_definition
  2694     "0::int" is "(0::nat, 0::nat)"
  2695 
  2696 The method "lifting" can be used to lift of theorems from the
  2697 underlying "raw" type to the quotient type.  The example
  2698 src/HOL/Quotient_Examples/FSet.thy includes such a quotient
  2699 construction and provides a reasoning infrastructure for finite sets.
  2700 
  2701 * Renamed Library/Quotient.thy to Library/Quotient_Type.thy to avoid
  2702 clash with new theory Quotient in Main HOL.
  2703 
  2704 * Moved the SMT binding into the main HOL session, eliminating
  2705 separate HOL-SMT session.
  2706 
  2707 * List membership infix mem operation is only an input abbreviation.
  2708 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2709 
  2710 * Theory Library/Word.thy has been removed.  Use library Word/Word.thy
  2711 for future developements; former Library/Word.thy is still present in
  2712 the AFP entry RSAPPS.
  2713 
  2714 * Theorem Int.int_induct renamed to Int.int_of_nat_induct and is no
  2715 longer shadowed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2716 
  2717 * Dropped theorem duplicate comp_arith; use semiring_norm instead.
  2718 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2719 
  2720 * Dropped theorem RealPow.real_sq_order; use power2_le_imp_le instead.
  2721 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2722 
  2723 * Dropped normalizing_semiring etc; use the facts in semiring classes
  2724 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2725 
  2726 * Dropped several real-specific versions of lemmas about floor and
  2727 ceiling; use the generic lemmas from theory "Archimedean_Field"
  2728 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2760 
  2761 * Theory "Finite_Set": various folding_XXX locales facilitate the
  2762 application of the various fold combinators on finite sets.
  2763 
  2764 * Library theory "RBT" renamed to "RBT_Impl"; new library theory "RBT"
  2765 provides abstract red-black tree type which is backed by "RBT_Impl" as
  2766 implementation.  INCOMPATIBILTY.
  2767 
  2768 * Theory Library/Coinductive_List has been removed -- superseded by
  2769 AFP/thys/Coinductive.
  2770 
  2771 * Theory PReal, including the type "preal" and related operations, has
  2772 been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2773 
  2774 * Real: new development using Cauchy Sequences.
  2775 
  2776 * Split off theory "Big_Operators" containing setsum, setprod,
  2777 Inf_fin, Sup_fin, Min, Max from theory Finite_Set.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2778 
  2779 * Theory "Rational" renamed to "Rat", for consistency with "Nat",
  2780 "Int" etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2781 
  2782 * Constant Rat.normalize needs to be qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2783 
  2784 * New set of rules "ac_simps" provides combined assoc / commute
  2785 rewrites for all interpretations of the appropriate generic locales.
  2786 
  2787 * Renamed theory "OrderedGroup" to "Groups" and split theory
  2788 "Ring_and_Field" into theories "Rings" and "Fields"; for more
  2789 appropriate and more consistent names suitable for name prefixes
  2790 within the HOL theories.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2791 
  2792 * Some generic constants have been put to appropriate theories:
  2793   - less_eq, less: Orderings
  2794   - zero, one, plus, minus, uminus, times, abs, sgn: Groups
  2795   - inverse, divide: Rings
  2796 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2797 
  2798 * More consistent naming of type classes involving orderings (and
  2799 lattices):

  2847 
  2848 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2849 
  2850 * Refined field classes:
  2851   - classes division_ring_inverse_zero, field_inverse_zero,
  2852     linordered_field_inverse_zero include rule inverse 0 = 0 --
  2853     subsumes former division_by_zero class;
  2854   - numerous lemmas have been ported from field to division_ring.
  2855 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2856 
  2857 * Refined algebra theorem collections:
  2858   - dropped theorem group group_simps, use algebra_simps instead;
  2859   - dropped theorem group ring_simps, use field_simps instead;
  2860   - proper theorem collection field_simps subsumes former theorem
  2861     groups field_eq_simps and field_simps;
  2862   - dropped lemma eq_minus_self_iff which is a duplicate for
  2863     equal_neg_zero.
  2864 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2865 
  2866 * Theory Finite_Set and List: some lemmas have been generalized from
  2867 sets to lattices:
  2868 
  2869   fun_left_comm_idem_inter      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_inf
  2870   fun_left_comm_idem_union      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_sup
  2871   inter_Inter_fold_inter        ~> inf_Inf_fold_inf
  2872   union_Union_fold_union        ~> sup_Sup_fold_sup
  2873   Inter_fold_inter              ~> Inf_fold_inf
  2874   Union_fold_union              ~> Sup_fold_sup
  2875   inter_INTER_fold_inter        ~> inf_INFI_fold_inf
  2876   union_UNION_fold_union        ~> sup_SUPR_fold_sup
  2877   INTER_fold_inter              ~> INFI_fold_inf
  2878   UNION_fold_union              ~> SUPR_fold_sup
  2879 
  2880 * Theory "Complete_Lattice": lemmas top_def and bot_def have been
  2881 replaced by the more convenient lemmas Inf_empty and Sup_empty.
  2882 Dropped lemmas Inf_insert_simp and Sup_insert_simp, which are subsumed
  2883 by Inf_insert and Sup_insert.  Lemmas Inf_UNIV and Sup_UNIV replace
  2884 former Inf_Univ and Sup_Univ.  Lemmas inf_top_right and sup_bot_right
  2885 subsume inf_top and sup_bot respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2886 
  2887 * Reorganized theory Multiset: swapped notation of pointwise and
  2888 multiset order:
  2889 
  2890   - pointwise ordering is instance of class order with standard syntax
  2891     <= and <;
  2892   - multiset ordering has syntax <=# and <#; partial order properties
  2893     are provided by means of interpretation with prefix
  2894     multiset_order;
  2895   - less duplication, less historical organization of sections,
  2896     conversion from associations lists to multisets, rudimentary code
  2897     generation;
  2898   - use insert_DiffM2 [symmetric] instead of elem_imp_eq_diff_union,
  2899     if needed.
  2900 
  2901 Renamed:
  2902 
  2903   multiset_eq_conv_count_eq  ~>  multiset_ext_iff
  2904   multi_count_ext  ~>  multiset_ext
  2905   diff_union_inverse2  ~>  diff_union_cancelR
  2906 
  2907 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2908 
  2909 * Theory Permutation: replaced local "remove" by List.remove1.
  2910 
  2911 * Code generation: ML and OCaml code is decorated with signatures.
  2912 
  2913 * Theory List: added transpose.
  2914 
  2915 * Library/Nat_Bijection.thy is a collection of bijective functions
  2916 between nat and other types, which supersedes the older libraries
  2917 Library/Nat_Int_Bij.thy and HOLCF/NatIso.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2947   Nat_Int_Bij.bij_int_to_nat_bij  ~> bij_int_decode
  2948 
  2949 * Sledgehammer:
  2950   - Renamed ATP commands:
  2951     atp_info     ~> sledgehammer running_atps
  2952     atp_kill     ~> sledgehammer kill_atps
  2953     atp_messages ~> sledgehammer messages
  2954     atp_minimize ~> sledgehammer minimize
  2955     print_atps   ~> sledgehammer available_atps
  2956     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2957   - Added user's manual ("isabelle doc sledgehammer").
  2958   - Added option syntax and "sledgehammer_params" to customize
  2959     Sledgehammer's behavior.  See the manual for details.
  2960   - Modified the Isar proof reconstruction code so that it produces
  2961     direct proofs rather than proofs by contradiction.  (This feature
  2962     is still experimental.)
  2963   - Made Isar proof reconstruction work for SPASS, remote ATPs, and in
  2964     full-typed mode.
  2965   - Added support for TPTP syntax for SPASS via the "spass_tptp" ATP.
  2966 
  2967 * Nitpick:
  2968   - Added and implemented "binary_ints" and "bits" options.
  2969   - Added "std" option and implemented support for nonstandard models.
  2970   - Added and implemented "finitize" option to improve the precision
  2971     of infinite datatypes based on a monotonicity analysis.
  2972   - Added support for quotient types.
  2973   - Added support for "specification" and "ax_specification"
  2974     constructs.
  2975   - Added support for local definitions (for "function" and
  2976     "termination" proofs).
  2977   - Added support for term postprocessors.
  2978   - Optimized "Multiset.multiset" and "FinFun.finfun".
  2979   - Improved efficiency of "destroy_constrs" optimization.
  2980   - Fixed soundness bugs related to "destroy_constrs" optimization and
  2981     record getters.
  2982   - Fixed soundness bug related to higher-order constructors.
  2983   - Fixed soundness bug when "full_descrs" is enabled.
  2984   - Improved precision of set constructs.
  2985   - Added "atoms" option.
  2986   - Added cache to speed up repeated Kodkod invocations on the same
  2987     problems.
  2988   - Renamed "MiniSatJNI", "zChaffJNI", "BerkMinAlloy", and
  2989     "SAT4JLight" to "MiniSat_JNI", "zChaff_JNI", "BerkMin_Alloy", and
  2990     "SAT4J_Light".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2991   - Removed "skolemize", "uncurry", "sym_break", "flatten_prop",
  2992     "sharing_depth", and "show_skolems" options.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2993   - Removed "nitpick_intro" attribute.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2994 
  2995 * Method "induct" now takes instantiations of the form t, where t is not
  2996   a variable, as a shorthand for "x == t", where x is a fresh variable.
  2997   If this is not intended, t has to be enclosed in parentheses.
  2998   By default, the equalities generated by definitional instantiations
  2999   are pre-simplified, which may cause parameters of inductive cases
  3000   to disappear, or may even delete some of the inductive cases.
  3001   Use "induct (no_simp)" instead of "induct" to restore the old
  3002   behaviour. The (no_simp) option is also understood by the "cases"
  3003   and "nominal_induct" methods, which now perform pre-simplification, too.
  3004   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3005 
  3006 
  3007 *** HOLCF ***
  3008 
  3009 * Variable names in lemmas generated by the domain package have
  3010 changed; the naming scheme is now consistent with the HOL datatype
  3011 package.  Some proof scripts may be affected, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3012 
  3013 * The domain package no longer defines the function "foo_copy" for
  3014 recursive domain "foo".  The reach lemma is now stated directly in
  3015 terms of "foo_take".  Lemmas and proofs that mention "foo_copy" must
  3016 be reformulated in terms of "foo_take", INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3017 
  3018 * Most definedness lemmas generated by the domain package (previously
  3019 of the form "x ~= UU ==> foo$x ~= UU") now have an if-and-only-if form
  3020 like "foo$x = UU <-> x = UU", which works better as a simp rule.
  3021 Proofs that used definedness lemmas as intro rules may break,
  3022 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3023 
  3024 * Induction and casedist rules generated by the domain package now
  3025 declare proper case_names (one called "bottom", and one named for each
  3026 constructor).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3027 
  3028 * For mutually-recursive domains, separate "reach" and "take_lemma"
  3029 rules are generated for each domain, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3030 
  3031   foo_bar.reach       ~> foo.reach  bar.reach
  3032   foo_bar.take_lemmas ~> foo.take_lemma  bar.take_lemma
  3033 
  3034 * Some lemmas generated by the domain package have been renamed for
  3035 consistency with the datatype package, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3036 
  3037   foo.ind        ~> foo.induct
  3038   foo.finite_ind ~> foo.finite_induct
  3039   foo.coind      ~> foo.coinduct
  3040   foo.casedist   ~> foo.exhaust
  3041   foo.exhaust    ~> foo.nchotomy
  3042 
  3043 * For consistency with other definition packages, the fixrec package
  3044 now generates qualified theorem names, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3045 
  3046   foo_simps  ~> foo.simps
  3047   foo_unfold ~> foo.unfold
  3048   foo_induct ~> foo.induct
  3049 
  3050 * The "fixrec_simp" attribute has been removed.  The "fixrec_simp"
  3051 method and internal fixrec proofs now use the default simpset instead.
  3052 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3053 
  3054 * The "contlub" predicate has been removed.  Proof scripts should use
  3055 lemma contI2 in place of monocontlub2cont, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3056 
  3057 * The "admw" predicate has been removed, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3058 
  3059 * The constants cpair, cfst, and csnd have been removed in favor of
  3060 Pair, fst, and snd from Isabelle/HOL, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3061 
  3062 
  3063 *** ML ***
  3064 
  3065 * Antiquotations for basic formal entities:
  3066 
  3067     @{class NAME}         -- type class
  3068     @{class_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of the above
  3069 
  3070     @{type_name NAME}     -- logical type
  3071     @{type_abbrev NAME}   -- type abbreviation
  3072     @{nonterminal NAME}   -- type of concrete syntactic category
  3073     @{type_syntax NAME}   -- syntax representation of any of the above
  3074 
  3075     @{const_name NAME}    -- logical constant (INCOMPATIBILITY)
  3076     @{const_abbrev NAME}  -- abbreviated constant
  3077     @{const_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of any of the above
  3078 
  3079 * Antiquotation @{syntax_const NAME} ensures that NAME refers to a raw
  3080 syntax constant (cf. 'syntax' command).
  3081 
  3082 * Antiquotation @{make_string} inlines a function to print arbitrary
  3083 values similar to the ML toplevel.  The result is compiler dependent
  3084 and may fall back on "?" in certain situations.
  3085 
  3086 * Diagnostic commands 'ML_val' and 'ML_command' may refer to
  3087 antiquotations @{Isar.state} and @{Isar.goal}.  This replaces impure
  3088 Isar.state() and Isar.goal(), which belong to the old TTY loop and do
  3089 not work with the asynchronous Isar document model.
  3090 
  3091 * Configuration options now admit dynamic default values, depending on
  3092 the context or even global references.
  3093 
  3094 * SHA1.digest digests strings according to SHA-1 (see RFC 3174).  It
  3095 uses an efficient external library if available (for Poly/ML).
  3096 
  3097 * Renamed some important ML structures, while keeping the old names
  3098 for some time as aliases within the structure Legacy:
  3099 
  3100   OuterKeyword  ~>  Keyword
  3101   OuterLex      ~>  Token
  3102   OuterParse    ~>  Parse
  3103   OuterSyntax   ~>  Outer_Syntax
  3104   PrintMode     ~>  Print_Mode
  3105   SpecParse     ~>  Parse_Spec
  3106   ThyInfo       ~>  Thy_Info
  3107   ThyLoad       ~>  Thy_Load
  3108   ThyOutput     ~>  Thy_Output
  3109   TypeInfer     ~>  Type_Infer
  3110 
  3111 Note that "open Legacy" simplifies porting of sources, but forgetting
  3112 to remove it again will complicate porting again in the future.
  3113 
  3114 * Most operations that refer to a global context are named
  3115 accordingly, e.g. Simplifier.global_context or
  3116 ProofContext.init_global.  There are some situations where a global
  3117 context actually works, but under normal circumstances one needs to
  3118 pass the proper local context through the code!
  3119 
  3120 * Discontinued old TheoryDataFun with its copy/init operation -- data
  3121 needs to be pure.  Functor Theory_Data_PP retains the traditional
  3122 Pretty.pp argument to merge, which is absent in the standard
  3123 Theory_Data version.
  3124 
  3125 * Sorts.certify_sort and derived "cert" operations for types and terms
  3126 no longer minimize sorts.  Thus certification at the boundary of the
  3127 inference kernel becomes invariant under addition of class relations,
  3128 which is an important monotonicity principle.  Sorts are now minimized
  3129 in the syntax layer only, at the boundary between the end-user and the
  3130 system.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY, may have to use Sign.minimize_sort
  3131 explicitly in rare situations.
  3132 
  3133 * Renamed old-style Drule.standard to Drule.export_without_context, to
  3134 emphasize that this is in no way a standard operation.
  3135 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3136 
  3137 * Subgoal.FOCUS (and variants): resulting goal state is normalized as
  3138 usual for resolution.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3139 
  3140 * Renamed varify/unvarify operations to varify_global/unvarify_global
  3141 to emphasize that these only work in a global situation (which is
  3142 quite rare).
  3143 
  3144 * Curried take and drop in library.ML; negative length is interpreted
  3145 as infinity (as in chop).  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3146 
  3147 * Proof terms: type substitutions on proof constants now use canonical
  3148 order of type variables.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools working with proof
  3149 terms.
  3150 
  3151 * Raw axioms/defs may no longer carry sort constraints, and raw defs
  3152 may no longer carry premises.  User-level specifications are
  3153 transformed accordingly by Thm.add_axiom/add_def.
  3154 
  3155 
  3156 *** System ***
  3157 
  3158 * Discontinued special HOL_USEDIR_OPTIONS for the main HOL image;
  3159 ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS applies uniformly to all sessions.  Note that
  3160 proof terms are enabled unconditionally in the new HOL-Proofs image.
  3161 
  3162 * Discontinued old ISABELLE and ISATOOL environment settings (legacy
  3163 feature since Isabelle2009).  Use ISABELLE_PROCESS and ISABELLE_TOOL,
  3164 respectively.
  3165 
  3166 * Old lib/scripts/polyml-platform is superseded by the
  3167 ISABELLE_PLATFORM setting variable, which defaults to the 32 bit
  3168 variant, even on a 64 bit machine.  The following example setting
  3169 prefers 64 bit if available:
  3170 
  3171   ML_PLATFORM="${ISABELLE_PLATFORM64:-$ISABELLE_PLATFORM}"
  3172 
  3173 * The preliminary Isabelle/jEdit application demonstrates the emerging
  3174 Isabelle/Scala layer for advanced prover interaction and integration.
  3175 See src/Tools/jEdit or "isabelle jedit" provided by the properly built
  3176 component.
  3177 
  3178 * "IsabelleText" is a Unicode font derived from Bitstream Vera Mono
  3179 and Bluesky TeX fonts.  It provides the usual Isabelle symbols,
  3180 similar to the default assignment of the document preparation system
  3181 (cf. isabellesym.sty).  The Isabelle/Scala class Isabelle_System
  3182 provides some operations for direct access to the font without asking
  3183 the user for manual installation.
  3184 
  3185 
  3186 
  3187 New in Isabelle2009-1 (December 2009)
  3188 -------------------------------------
  3189 
  3190 *** General ***
  3191 
  3192 * Discontinued old form of "escaped symbols" such as \\<forall>.  Only
  3193 one backslash should be used, even in ML sources.
  3194 
  3195 
  3196 *** Pure ***
  3197 
  3198 * Locale interpretation propagates mixins along the locale hierarchy.
  3199 The currently only available mixins are the equations used to map
  3200 local definitions to terms of the target domain of an interpretation.
  3201 
  3202 * Reactivated diagnostic command 'print_interps'.  Use "print_interps
  3203 loc" to print all interpretations of locale "loc" in the theory.
  3204 Interpretations in proofs are not shown.
  3205 
  3206 * Thoroughly revised locales tutorial.  New section on conditional
  3207 interpretation.
  3208 
  3209 * On instantiation of classes, remaining undefined class parameters
  3210 are formally declared.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3211 
  3212 
  3213 *** Document preparation ***
  3214 
  3215 * New generalized style concept for printing terms: @{foo (style) ...}
  3216 instead of @{foo_style style ...}  (old form is still retained for
  3217 backward compatibility).  Styles can be also applied for
  3218 antiquotations prop, term_type and typeof.
  3219 
  3220 
  3221 *** HOL ***
  3222 
  3223 * New proof method "smt" for a combination of first-order logic with
  3224 equality, linear and nonlinear (natural/integer/real) arithmetic, and
  3225 fixed-size bitvectors; there is also basic support for higher-order
  3226 features (esp. lambda abstractions).  It is an incomplete decision
  3227 procedure based on external SMT solvers using the oracle mechanism;
  3228 for the SMT solver Z3, this method is proof-producing.  Certificates
  3229 are provided to avoid calling the external solvers solely for
  3230 re-checking proofs.  Due to a remote SMT service there is no need for
  3231 installing SMT solvers locally.  See src/HOL/SMT.
  3232 
  3233 * New commands to load and prove verification conditions generated by
  3234 the Boogie program verifier or derived systems (e.g. the Verifying C
  3235 Compiler (VCC) or Spec#).  See src/HOL/Boogie.
  3236 
  3237 * New counterexample generator tool 'nitpick' based on the Kodkod
  3238 relational model finder.  See src/HOL/Tools/Nitpick and
  3239 src/HOL/Nitpick_Examples.
  3240 
  3241 * New commands 'code_pred' and 'values' to invoke the predicate
  3242 compiler and to enumerate values of inductive predicates.
  3243 
  3244 * A tabled implementation of the reflexive transitive closure.
  3245 
  3246 * New implementation of quickcheck uses generic code generator;
  3247 default generators are provided for all suitable HOL types, records
  3248 and datatypes.  Old quickcheck can be re-activated importing theory
  3249 Library/SML_Quickcheck.
  3250 
  3251 * New testing tool Mirabelle for automated proof tools.  Applies
  3252 several tools and tactics like sledgehammer, metis, or quickcheck, to
  3253 every proof step in a theory.  To be used in batch mode via the
  3254 "mirabelle" utility.
  3255 
  3256 * New proof method "sos" (sum of squares) for nonlinear real
  3257 arithmetic (originally due to John Harison). It requires theory
  3258 Library/Sum_Of_Squares.  It is not a complete decision procedure but
  3259 works well in practice on quantifier-free real arithmetic with +, -,
  3260 *, ^, =, <= and <, i.e. boolean combinations of equalities and
  3261 inequalities between polynomials.  It makes use of external
  3262 semidefinite programming solvers.  Method "sos" generates a
  3263 certificate that can be pasted into the proof thus avoiding the need
  3264 to call an external tool every time the proof is checked.  See
  3265 src/HOL/Library/Sum_Of_Squares.
  3266 
  3267 * New method "linarith" invokes existing linear arithmetic decision
  3268 procedure only.
  3269 
  3270 * New command 'atp_minimal' reduces result produced by Sledgehammer.
  3271 
  3272 * New Sledgehammer option "Full Types" in Proof General settings menu.
  3273 Causes full type information to be output to the ATPs.  This slows
  3274 ATPs down considerably but eliminates a source of unsound "proofs"
  3275 that fail later.
  3276 
  3277 * New method "metisFT": A version of metis that uses full type
  3278 information in order to avoid failures of proof reconstruction.
  3279 
  3280 * New evaluator "approximate" approximates an real valued term using
  3281 the same method as the approximation method.
  3282 
  3283 * Method "approximate" now supports arithmetic expressions as
  3284 boundaries of intervals and implements interval splitting and Taylor
  3285 series expansion.
  3286 
  3287 * ML antiquotation @{code_datatype} inserts definition of a datatype
  3288 generated by the code generator; e.g. see src/HOL/Predicate.thy.
  3289 
  3290 * New theory SupInf of the supremum and infimum operators for sets of
  3291 reals.
  3292 
  3293 * New theory Probability, which contains a development of measure
  3294 theory, eventually leading to Lebesgue integration and probability.
  3295 
  3296 * Extended Multivariate Analysis to include derivation and Brouwer's
  3297 fixpoint theorem.
  3298 
  3299 * Reorganization of number theory, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  3300   - new number theory development for nat and int, in theories Divides
  3301     and GCD as well as in new session Number_Theory
  3302   - some constants and facts now suffixed with _nat and _int
  3303     accordingly
  3304   - former session NumberTheory now named Old_Number_Theory, including
  3305     theories Legacy_GCD and Primes (prefer Number_Theory if possible)
  3306   - moved theory Pocklington from src/HOL/Library to
  3307     src/HOL/Old_Number_Theory
  3308 
  3309 * Theory GCD includes functions Gcd/GCD and Lcm/LCM for the gcd and
  3310 lcm of finite and infinite sets. It is shown that they form a complete
  3311 lattice.
  3312 
  3313 * Class semiring_div requires superclass no_zero_divisors and proof of
  3314 div_mult_mult1; theorems div_mult_mult1, div_mult_mult2,
  3315 div_mult_mult1_if, div_mult_mult1 and div_mult_mult2 have been
  3316 generalized to class semiring_div, subsuming former theorems
  3317 zdiv_zmult_zmult1, zdiv_zmult_zmult1_if, zdiv_zmult_zmult1 and
  3318 zdiv_zmult_zmult2.  div_mult_mult1 is now [simp] by default.
  3319 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3320 
  3321 * Refinements to lattice classes and sets:
  3322   - less default intro/elim rules in locale variant, more default
  3323     intro/elim rules in class variant: more uniformity
  3324   - lemma ge_sup_conv renamed to le_sup_iff, in accordance with
  3325     le_inf_iff
  3326   - dropped lemma alias inf_ACI for inf_aci (same for sup_ACI and
  3327     sup_aci)
  3328   - renamed ACI to inf_sup_aci
  3329   - new class "boolean_algebra"
  3330   - class "complete_lattice" moved to separate theory
  3331     "Complete_Lattice"; corresponding constants (and abbreviations)
  3332     renamed and with authentic syntax:
  3333     Set.Inf ~>    Complete_Lattice.Inf
  3334     Set.Sup ~>    Complete_Lattice.Sup
  3335     Set.INFI ~>   Complete_Lattice.INFI
  3336     Set.SUPR ~>   Complete_Lattice.SUPR
  3337     Set.Inter ~>  Complete_Lattice.Inter
  3338     Set.Union ~>  Complete_Lattice.Union
  3339     Set.INTER ~>  Complete_Lattice.INTER
  3340     Set.UNION ~>  Complete_Lattice.UNION
  3341   - authentic syntax for
  3342     Set.Pow
  3343     Set.image
  3344   - mere abbreviations:
  3345     Set.empty               (for bot)
  3346     Set.UNIV                (for top)
  3347     Set.inter               (for inf, formerly Set.Int)
  3348     Set.union               (for sup, formerly Set.Un)
  3349     Complete_Lattice.Inter  (for Inf)
  3350     Complete_Lattice.Union  (for Sup)
  3351     Complete_Lattice.INTER  (for INFI)
  3352     Complete_Lattice.UNION  (for SUPR)
  3353   - object-logic definitions as far as appropriate
  3354 
  3355 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Care is required when theorems Int_subset_iff or
  3356 Un_subset_iff are explicitly deleted as default simp rules; then also
  3357 their lattice counterparts le_inf_iff and le_sup_iff have to be
  3358 deleted to achieve the desired effect.
  3359 
  3360 * Rules inf_absorb1, inf_absorb2, sup_absorb1, sup_absorb2 are no simp
  3361 rules by default any longer; the same applies to min_max.inf_absorb1
  3362 etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3363 
  3364 * Rules sup_Int_eq and sup_Un_eq are no longer declared as
  3365 pred_set_conv by default.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3366 
  3367 * Power operations on relations and functions are now one dedicated
  3368 constant "compow" with infix syntax "^^".  Power operation on
  3369 multiplicative monoids retains syntax "^" and is now defined generic
  3370 in class power.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3371 
  3372 * Relation composition "R O S" now has a more standard argument order:
  3373 "R O S = {(x, z). EX y. (x, y) : R & (y, z) : S}".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  3374 rewrite propositions with "S O R" --> "R O S". Proofs may occasionally
  3375 break, since the O_assoc rule was not rewritten like this.  Fix using
  3376 O_assoc[symmetric].  The same applies to the curried version "R OO S".
  3377 
  3378 * Function "Inv" is renamed to "inv_into" and function "inv" is now an
  3379 abbreviation for "inv_into UNIV".  Lemmas are renamed accordingly.
  3380 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3381 
  3382 * Most rules produced by inductive and datatype package have mandatory
  3383 prefixes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3384 
  3385 * Changed "DERIV_intros" to a dynamic fact, which can be augmented by
  3386 the attribute of the same name.  Each of the theorems in the list
  3387 DERIV_intros assumes composition with an additional function and
  3388 matches a variable to the derivative, which has to be solved by the
  3389 Simplifier.  Hence (auto intro!: DERIV_intros) computes the derivative
  3390 of most elementary terms.  Former Maclauren.DERIV_tac and
  3391 Maclauren.deriv_tac should be replaced by (auto intro!: DERIV_intros).
  3392 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3393 
  3394 * Code generator attributes follow the usual underscore convention:
  3395     code_unfold     replaces    code unfold
  3396     code_post       replaces    code post
  3397     etc.
  3398   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3399 
  3400 * Renamed methods:
  3401     sizechange -> size_change
  3402     induct_scheme -> induction_schema
  3403   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3404 
  3405 * Discontinued abbreviation "arbitrary" of constant "undefined".
  3406 INCOMPATIBILITY, use "undefined" directly.
  3407 
  3408 * Renamed theorems:
  3409     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  3410     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1_left -> Suc_eq_plus1_left
  3411     Suc_plus1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  3412     *anti_sym -> *antisym*
  3413     vector_less_eq_def -> vector_le_def
  3414   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3415 
  3416 * Added theorem List.map_map as [simp].  Removed List.map_compose.
  3417 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3418 
  3419 * Removed predicate "M hassize n" (<--> card M = n & finite M).
  3420 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3421 
  3422 
  3423 *** HOLCF ***
  3424 
  3425 * Theory Representable defines a class "rep" of domains that are
  3426 representable (via an ep-pair) in the universal domain type "udom".
  3427 Instances are provided for all type constructors defined in HOLCF.
  3428 
  3429 * The 'new_domain' command is a purely definitional version of the
  3430 domain package, for representable domains.  Syntax is identical to the
  3431 old domain package.  The 'new_domain' package also supports indirect
  3432 recursion using previously-defined type constructors.  See
  3433 src/HOLCF/ex/New_Domain.thy for examples.
  3434 
  3435 * Method "fixrec_simp" unfolds one step of a fixrec-defined constant
  3436 on the left-hand side of an equation, and then performs
  3437 simplification.  Rewriting is done using rules declared with the
  3438 "fixrec_simp" attribute.  The "fixrec_simp" method is intended as a
  3439 replacement for "fixpat"; see src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples.
  3440 
  3441 * The pattern-match compiler in 'fixrec' can now handle constructors
  3442 with HOL function types.  Pattern-match combinators for the Pair
  3443 constructor are pre-configured.
  3444 
  3445 * The 'fixrec' package now produces better fixed-point induction rules
  3446 for mutually-recursive definitions:  Induction rules have conclusions
  3447 of the form "P foo bar" instead of "P <foo, bar>".
  3448 
  3449 * The constant "sq_le" (with infix syntax "<<" or "\<sqsubseteq>") has
  3450 been renamed to "below".  The name "below" now replaces "less" in many
  3451 theorem names.  (Legacy theorem names using "less" are still supported
  3452 as well.)
  3453 
  3454 * The 'fixrec' package now supports "bottom patterns".  Bottom
  3455 patterns can be used to generate strictness rules, or to make
  3456 functions more strict (much like the bang-patterns supported by the
  3457 Glasgow Haskell Compiler).  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  3458 examples.
  3459 
  3460 
  3461 *** ML ***
  3462 
  3463 * Support for Poly/ML 5.3.0, with improved reporting of compiler
  3464 errors and run-time exceptions, including detailed source positions.
  3465 
  3466 * Structure Name_Space (formerly NameSpace) now manages uniquely
  3467 identified entries, with some additional information such as source
  3468 position, logical grouping etc.
  3469 
  3470 * Theory and context data is now introduced by the simplified and
  3471 modernized functors Theory_Data, Proof_Data, Generic_Data.  Data needs
  3472 to be pure, but the old TheoryDataFun for mutable data (with explicit
  3473 copy operation) is still available for some time.
  3474 
  3475 * Structure Synchronized (cf. src/Pure/Concurrent/synchronized.ML)
  3476 provides a high-level programming interface to synchronized state
  3477 variables with atomic update.  This works via pure function
  3478 application within a critical section -- its runtime should be as
  3479 short as possible; beware of deadlocks if critical code is nested,
  3480 either directly or indirectly via other synchronized variables!
  3481 
  3482 * Structure Unsynchronized (cf. src/Pure/ML-Systems/unsynchronized.ML)
  3483 wraps raw ML references, explicitly indicating their non-thread-safe
  3484 behaviour.  The Isar toplevel keeps this structure open, to
  3485 accommodate Proof General as well as quick and dirty interactive
  3486 experiments with references.
  3487 
  3488 * PARALLEL_CHOICE and PARALLEL_GOALS provide basic support for
  3489 parallel tactical reasoning.
  3490 
  3491 * Tacticals Subgoal.FOCUS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PREMS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PARAMS
  3492 are similar to SUBPROOF, but are slightly more flexible: only the
  3493 specified parts of the subgoal are imported into the context, and the
  3494 body tactic may introduce new subgoals and schematic variables.
  3495 
  3496 * Old tactical METAHYPS, which does not observe the proof context, has
  3497 been renamed to Old_Goals.METAHYPS and awaits deletion.  Use SUBPROOF
  3498 or Subgoal.FOCUS etc.
  3499 
  3500 * Renamed functor TableFun to Table, and GraphFun to Graph.  (Since
  3501 functors have their own ML name space there is no point to mark them
  3502 separately.)  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3503 
  3504 * Renamed NamedThmsFun to Named_Thms.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3505 
  3506 * Renamed several structures FooBar to Foo_Bar.  Occasional,
  3507 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3508 
  3509 * Operations of structure Skip_Proof no longer require quick_and_dirty
  3510 mode, which avoids critical setmp.
  3511 
  3512 * Eliminated old Attrib.add_attributes, Method.add_methods and related
  3513 combinators for "args".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use simplified
  3514 Attrib/Method.setup introduced in Isabelle2009.
  3515 
  3516 * Proper context for simpset_of, claset_of, clasimpset_of.  May fall
  3517 back on global_simpset_of, global_claset_of, global_clasimpset_of as
  3518 last resort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3519 
  3520 * Display.pretty_thm now requires a proper context (cf. former
  3521 ProofContext.pretty_thm).  May fall back on Display.pretty_thm_global
  3522 or even Display.pretty_thm_without_context as last resort.
  3523 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3524 
  3525 * Discontinued Display.pretty_ctyp/cterm etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  3526 Syntax.pretty_typ/term directly, preferably with proper context
  3527 instead of global theory.
  3528 
  3529 
  3530 *** System ***
  3531 
  3532 * Further fine tuning of parallel proof checking, scales up to 8 cores
  3533 (max. speedup factor 5.0).  See also Goal.parallel_proofs in ML and
  3534 usedir option -q.
  3535 
  3536 * Support for additional "Isabelle components" via etc/components, see
  3537 also the system manual.
  3538 
  3539 * The isabelle makeall tool now operates on all components with
  3540 IsaMakefile, not just hardwired "logics".
  3541 
  3542 * Removed "compress" option from isabelle-process and isabelle usedir;
  3543 this is always enabled.
  3544 
  3545 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 4.x versions.
  3546 
  3547 * Isabelle tool "wwwfind" provides web interface for 'find_theorems'
  3548 on a given logic image.  This requires the lighttpd webserver and is
  3549 currently supported on Linux only.
  3550 
  3551 
  3552 
  3553 New in Isabelle2009 (April 2009)
  3554 --------------------------------
  3555 
  3556 *** General ***
  3557 
  3558 * Simplified main Isabelle executables, with less surprises on
  3559 case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  3560 
  3561   - The main Isabelle tool wrapper is now called "isabelle" instead of
  3562     "isatool."
  3563 
  3564   - The former "isabelle" alias for "isabelle-process" has been
  3565     removed (should rarely occur to regular users).
  3566 
  3567   - The former "isabelle-interface" and its alias "Isabelle" have been
  3568     removed (interfaces are now regular Isabelle tools).
  3569 
  3570 Within scripts and make files, the Isabelle environment variables
  3571 ISABELLE_TOOL and ISABELLE_PROCESS replace old ISATOOL and ISABELLE,
  3572 respectively.  (The latter are still available as legacy feature.)
  3573 
  3574 The old isabelle-interface wrapper could react in confusing ways if
  3575 the interface was uninstalled or changed otherwise.  Individual
  3576 interface tool configuration is now more explicit, see also the
  3577 Isabelle system manual.  In particular, Proof General is now available
  3578 via "isabelle emacs".
  3579 
  3580 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt derivative scripts.  Users may need to
  3581 purge installed copies of Isabelle executables and re-run "isabelle
  3582 install -p ...", or use symlinks.
  3583 
  3584 * The default for ISABELLE_HOME_USER is now ~/.isabelle instead of the
  3585 old ~/isabelle, which was slightly non-standard and apt to cause
  3586 surprises on case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  3587 
  3588 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to move existing ~/isabelle/etc,
  3589 ~/isabelle/heaps, ~/isabelle/browser_info to the new place.  Special
  3590 care is required when using older releases of Isabelle.  Note that
  3591 ISABELLE_HOME_USER can be changed in Isabelle/etc/settings of any
  3592 Isabelle distribution, in order to use the new ~/.isabelle uniformly.
  3593 
  3594 * Proofs of fully specified statements are run in parallel on
  3595 multi-core systems.  A speedup factor of 2.5 to 3.2 can be expected on
  3596 a regular 4-core machine, if the initial heap space is made reasonably
  3597 large (cf. Poly/ML option -H).  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  3598 
  3599 * The main reference manuals ("isar-ref", "implementation", and
  3600 "system") have been updated and extended.  Formally checked references
  3601 as hyperlinks are now available uniformly.
  3602 
  3603 
  3604 *** Pure ***
  3605 
  3606 * Complete re-implementation of locales.  INCOMPATIBILITY in several
  3607 respects.  The most important changes are listed below.  See the
  3608 Tutorial on Locales ("locales" manual) for details.
  3609 
  3610 - In locale expressions, instantiation replaces renaming.  Parameters
  3611 must be declared in a for clause.  To aid compatibility with previous
  3612 parameter inheritance, in locale declarations, parameters that are not
  3613 'touched' (instantiation position "_" or omitted) are implicitly added
  3614 with their syntax at the beginning of the for clause.
  3615 
  3616 - Syntax from abbreviations and definitions in locales is available in
  3617 locale expressions and context elements.  The latter is particularly
  3618 useful in locale declarations.
  3619 
  3620 - More flexible mechanisms to qualify names generated by locale
  3621 expressions.  Qualifiers (prefixes) may be specified in locale
  3622 expressions, and can be marked as mandatory (syntax: "name!:") or
  3623 optional (syntax "name?:").  The default depends for plain "name:"
  3624 depends on the situation where a locale expression is used: in
  3625 commands 'locale' and 'sublocale' prefixes are optional, in
  3626 'interpretation' and 'interpret' prefixes are mandatory.  The old
  3627 implicit qualifiers derived from the parameter names of a locale are
  3628 no longer generated.
  3629 
  3630 - Command "sublocale l < e" replaces "interpretation l < e".  The
  3631 instantiation clause in "interpretation" and "interpret" (square
  3632 brackets) is no longer available.  Use locale expressions.
  3633 
  3634 - When converting proof scripts, mandatory qualifiers in
  3635 'interpretation' and 'interpret' should be retained by default, even
  3636 if this is an INCOMPATIBILITY compared to former behavior.  In the
  3637 worst case, use the "name?:" form for non-mandatory ones.  Qualifiers
  3638 in locale expressions range over a single locale instance only.
  3639 
  3640 - Dropped locale element "includes".  This is a major INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3641 In existing theorem specifications replace the includes element by the
  3642 respective context elements of the included locale, omitting those
  3643 that are already present in the theorem specification.  Multiple
  3644 assume elements of a locale should be replaced by a single one
  3645 involving the locale predicate.  In the proof body, declarations (most
  3646 notably theorems) may be regained by interpreting the respective
  3647 locales in the proof context as required (command "interpret").
  3648 
  3649 If using "includes" in replacement of a target solely because the
  3650 parameter types in the theorem are not as general as in the target,
  3651 consider declaring a new locale with additional type constraints on
  3652 the parameters (context element "constrains").
  3653 
  3654 - Discontinued "locale (open)".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3655 
  3656 - Locale interpretation commands no longer attempt to simplify goal.
  3657 INCOMPATIBILITY: in rare situations the generated goal differs.  Use
  3658 methods intro_locales and unfold_locales to clarify.
  3659 
  3660 - Locale interpretation commands no longer accept interpretation
  3661 attributes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3662 
  3663 * Class declaration: so-called "base sort" must not be given in import
  3664 list any longer, but is inferred from the specification.  Particularly
  3665 in HOL, write
  3666 
  3667     class foo = ...
  3668 
  3669 instead of
  3670 
  3671     class foo = type + ...
  3672 
  3673 * Class target: global versions of theorems stemming do not carry a
  3674 parameter prefix any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3675 
  3676 * Class 'instance' command no longer accepts attached definitions.
  3677 INCOMPATIBILITY, use proper 'instantiation' target instead.
  3678 
  3679 * Recovered hiding of consts, which was accidentally broken in
  3680 Isabelle2007.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, ``hide const c'' really
  3681 makes c inaccessible; consider using ``hide (open) const c'' instead.
  3682 
  3683 * Slightly more coherent Pure syntax, with updated documentation in
  3684 isar-ref manual.  Removed locales meta_term_syntax and
  3685 meta_conjunction_syntax: TERM and &&& (formerly &&) are now permanent,
  3686 INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations.  Note that &&& should not be used
  3687 directly in regular applications.
  3688 
  3689 * There is a new syntactic category "float_const" for signed decimal
  3690 fractions (e.g. 123.45 or -123.45).
  3691 
  3692 * Removed exotic 'token_translation' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML
  3693 interface with 'setup' command instead.
  3694 
  3695 * Command 'local_setup' is similar to 'setup', but operates on a local
  3696 theory context.
  3697 
  3698 * The 'axiomatization' command now only works within a global theory
  3699 context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3700 
  3701 * Goal-directed proof now enforces strict proof irrelevance wrt. sort
  3702 hypotheses.  Sorts required in the course of reasoning need to be
  3703 covered by the constraints in the initial statement, completed by the
  3704 type instance information of the background theory.  Non-trivial sort
  3705 hypotheses, which rarely occur in practice, may be specified via
  3706 vacuous propositions of the form SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::c).  For example:
  3707 
  3708   lemma assumes "SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::empty)" shows False ...
  3709 
  3710 The result contains an implicit sort hypotheses as before --
  3711 SORT_CONSTRAINT premises are eliminated as part of the canonical rule
  3712 normalization.
  3713 
  3714 * Generalized Isar history, with support for linear undo, direct state
  3715 addressing etc.
  3716 
  3717 * Changed defaults for unify configuration options:
  3718 
  3719   unify_trace_bound = 50 (formerly 25)
  3720   unify_search_bound = 60 (formerly 30)
  3721 
  3722 * Different bookkeeping for code equations (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  3723 
  3724   a) On theory merge, the last set of code equations for a particular
  3725      constant is taken (in accordance with the policy applied by other
  3726      parts of the code generator framework).
  3727 
  3728   b) Code equations stemming from explicit declarations (e.g. code
  3729      attribute) gain priority over default code equations stemming
  3730      from definition, primrec, fun etc.
  3731 
  3732 * Keyword 'code_exception' now named 'code_abort'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3733 
  3734 * Unified theorem tables for both code generators.  Thus [code
  3735 func] has disappeared and only [code] remains.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3736 
  3737 * Command 'find_consts' searches for constants based on type and name
  3738 patterns, e.g.
  3739 
  3740     find_consts "_ => bool"
  3741 
  3742 By default, matching is against subtypes, but it may be restricted to
  3743 the whole type.  Searching by name is possible.  Multiple queries are
  3744 conjunctive and queries may be negated by prefixing them with a
  3745 hyphen:
  3746 
  3747     find_consts strict: "_ => bool" name: "Int" -"int => int"
  3748 
  3749 * New 'find_theorems' criterion "solves" matches theorems that
  3750 directly solve the current goal (modulo higher-order unification).
  3751 
  3752 * Auto solve feature for main theorem statements: whenever a new goal
  3753 is stated, "find_theorems solves" is called; any theorems that could
  3754 solve the lemma directly are listed as part of the goal state.
  3755 Cf. associated options in Proof General Isabelle settings menu,
  3756 enabled by default, with reasonable timeout for pathological cases of
  3757 higher-order unification.
  3758 
  3759 
  3760 *** Document preparation ***
  3761 
  3762 * Antiquotation @{lemma} now imitates a regular terminal proof,
  3763 demanding keyword 'by' and supporting the full method expression
  3764 syntax just like the Isar command 'by'.
  3765 
  3766 
  3767 *** HOL ***
  3768 
  3769 * Integrated main parts of former image HOL-Complex with HOL.  Entry
  3770 points Main and Complex_Main remain as before.
  3771 
  3772 * Logic image HOL-Plain provides a minimal HOL with the most important
  3773 tools available (inductive, datatype, primrec, ...).  This facilitates
  3774 experimentation and tool development.  Note that user applications
  3775 (and library theories) should never refer to anything below theory
  3776 Main, as before.
  3777 
  3778 * Logic image HOL-Main stops at theory Main, and thus facilitates
  3779 experimentation due to shorter build times.
  3780 
  3781 * Logic image HOL-NSA contains theories of nonstandard analysis which
  3782 were previously part of former HOL-Complex.  Entry point Hyperreal
  3783 remains valid, but theories formerly using Complex_Main should now use
  3784 new entry point Hypercomplex.
  3785 
  3786 * Generic ATP manager for Sledgehammer, based on ML threads instead of
  3787 Posix processes.  Avoids potentially expensive forking of the ML
  3788 process.  New thread-based implementation also works on non-Unix
  3789 platforms (Cygwin).  Provers are no longer hardwired, but defined
  3790 within the theory via plain ML wrapper functions.  Basic Sledgehammer
  3791 commands are covered in the isar-ref manual.
  3792 
  3793 * Wrapper scripts for remote SystemOnTPTP service allows to use
  3794 sledgehammer without local ATP installation (Vampire etc.). Other
  3795 provers may be included via suitable ML wrappers, see also
  3796 src/HOL/ATP_Linkup.thy.
  3797 
  3798 * ATP selection (E/Vampire/Spass) is now via Proof General's settings
  3799 menu.
  3800 
  3801 * The metis method no longer fails because the theorem is too trivial
  3802 (contains the empty clause).
  3803 
  3804 * The metis method now fails in the usual manner, rather than raising
  3805 an exception, if it determines that it cannot prove the theorem.
  3806 
  3807 * Method "coherent" implements a prover for coherent logic (see also
  3808 src/Tools/coherent.ML).
  3809 
  3810 * Constants "undefined" and "default" replace "arbitrary".  Usually
  3811 "undefined" is the right choice to replace "arbitrary", though
  3812 logically there is no difference.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3813 
  3814 * Command "value" now integrates different evaluation mechanisms.  The
  3815 result of the first successful evaluation mechanism is printed.  In
  3816 square brackets a particular named evaluation mechanisms may be
  3817 specified (currently, [SML], [code] or [nbe]).  See further
  3818 src/HOL/ex/Eval_Examples.thy.
  3819 
  3820 * Normalization by evaluation now allows non-leftlinear equations.
  3821 Declare with attribute [code nbe].
  3822 
  3823 * Methods "case_tac" and "induct_tac" now refer to the very same rules
  3824 as the structured Isar versions "cases" and "induct", cf. the
  3825 corresponding "cases" and "induct" attributes.  Mutual induction rules
  3826 are now presented as a list of individual projections
  3827 (e.g. foo_bar.inducts for types foo and bar); the old format with
  3828 explicit HOL conjunction is no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  3829 rare situations a different rule is selected --- notably nested tuple
  3830 elimination instead of former prod.exhaust: use explicit (case_tac t
  3831 rule: prod.exhaust) here.
  3832 
  3833 * Attributes "cases", "induct", "coinduct" support "del" option.
  3834 
  3835 * Removed fact "case_split_thm", which duplicates "case_split".
  3836 
  3837 * The option datatype has been moved to a new theory Option.  Renamed
  3838 option_map to Option.map, and o2s to Option.set, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3839 
  3840 * New predicate "strict_mono" classifies strict functions on partial
  3841 orders.  With strict functions on linear orders, reasoning about
  3842 (in)equalities is facilitated by theorems "strict_mono_eq",
  3843 "strict_mono_less_eq" and "strict_mono_less".
  3844 
  3845 * Some set operations are now proper qualified constants with
  3846 authentic syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  3847 
  3848     op Int ~>   Set.Int
  3849     op Un ~>    Set.Un
  3850     INTER ~>    Set.INTER
  3851     UNION ~>    Set.UNION
  3852     Inter ~>    Set.Inter
  3853     Union ~>    Set.Union
  3854     {} ~>       Set.empty
  3855     UNIV ~>     Set.UNIV
  3856 
  3857 * Class complete_lattice with operations Inf, Sup, INFI, SUPR now in
  3858 theory Set.
  3859 
  3860 * Auxiliary class "itself" has disappeared -- classes without any
  3861 parameter are treated as expected by the 'class' command.
  3862 
  3863 * Leibnitz's Series for Pi and the arcus tangens and logarithm series.
  3864 
  3865 * Common decision procedures (Cooper, MIR, Ferrack, Approximation,
  3866 Dense_Linear_Order) are now in directory HOL/Decision_Procs.
  3867 
  3868 * Theory src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation provides the new proof
  3869 method "approximation".  It proves formulas on real values by using
  3870 interval arithmetic.  In the formulas are also the transcendental
  3871 functions sin, cos, tan, atan, ln, exp and the constant pi are
  3872 allowed. For examples see
  3873 src/HOL/Descision_Procs/ex/Approximation_Ex.thy.
  3874 
  3875 * Theory "Reflection" now resides in HOL/Library.
  3876 
  3877 * Entry point to Word library now simply named "Word".
  3878 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3879 
  3880 * Made source layout more coherent with logical distribution
  3881 structure:

  3934 
  3935 * If methods "eval" and "evaluation" encounter a structured proof
  3936 state with !!/==>, only the conclusion is evaluated to True (if
  3937 possible), avoiding strange error messages.
  3938 
  3939 * Method "sizechange" automates termination proofs using (a
  3940 modification of) the size-change principle.  Requires SAT solver.  See
  3941 src/HOL/ex/Termination.thy for examples.
  3942 
  3943 * Simplifier: simproc for let expressions now unfolds if bound
  3944 variable occurs at most once in let expression body.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3945 
  3946 * Method "arith": Linear arithmetic now ignores all inequalities when
  3947 fast_arith_neq_limit is exceeded, instead of giving up entirely.
  3948 
  3949 * New attribute "arith" for facts that should always be used
  3950 automatically by arithmetic. It is intended to be used locally in
  3951 proofs, e.g.
  3952 
  3953   assumes [arith]: "x > 0"
  3954 
  3955 Global usage is discouraged because of possible performance impact.
  3956 
  3957 * New classes "top" and "bot" with corresponding operations "top" and
  3958 "bot" in theory Orderings; instantiation of class "complete_lattice"
  3959 requires instantiation of classes "top" and "bot".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3960 
  3961 * Changed definition lemma "less_fun_def" in order to provide an
  3962 instance for preorders on functions; use lemma "less_le" instead.
  3963 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3964 
  3965 * Theory Orderings: class "wellorder" moved here, with explicit
  3966 induction rule "less_induct" as assumption.  For instantiation of
  3967 "wellorder" by means of predicate "wf", use rule wf_wellorderI.
  3968 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3969 
  3970 * Theory Orderings: added class "preorder" as superclass of "order".
  3971 INCOMPATIBILITY: Instantiation proofs for order, linorder
  3972 etc. slightly changed.  Some theorems named order_class.* now named
  3973 preorder_class.*.
  3974 
  3975 * Theory Relation: renamed "refl" to "refl_on", "reflexive" to "refl,
  3976 "diag" to "Id_on".
  3977 
  3978 * Theory Finite_Set: added a new fold combinator of type
  3979 
  3980   ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  3981 
  3982 Occasionally this is more convenient than the old fold combinator
  3983 which is now defined in terms of the new one and renamed to
  3984 fold_image.
  3985 
  3986 * Theories Ring_and_Field and OrderedGroup: The lemmas "group_simps"
  3987 and "ring_simps" have been replaced by "algebra_simps" (which can be
  3988 extended with further lemmas!).  At the moment both still exist but
  3989 the former will disappear at some point.
  3990 
  3991 * Theory Power: Lemma power_Suc is now declared as a simp rule in
  3992 class recpower.  Type-specific simp rules for various recpower types
  3993 have been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, rename old lemmas as follows:
  3994 
  3995 rat_power_0    -> power_0
  3996 rat_power_Suc  -> power_Suc
  3997 realpow_0      -> power_0
  3998 realpow_Suc    -> power_Suc
  3999 complexpow_0   -> power_0
  4000 complexpow_Suc -> power_Suc
  4001 power_poly_0   -> power_0
  4002 power_poly_Suc -> power_Suc
  4003 
  4004 * Theories Ring_and_Field and Divides: Definition of "op dvd" has been
  4005 moved to separate class dvd in Ring_and_Field; a couple of lemmas on
  4006 dvd has been generalized to class comm_semiring_1.  Likewise a bunch
  4007 of lemmas from Divides has been generalized from nat to class
  4008 semiring_div.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  This involves the following theorem
  4009 renames resulting from duplicate elimination:
  4010 
  4011     dvd_def_mod ~>          dvd_eq_mod_eq_0
  4012     zero_dvd_iff ~>         dvd_0_left_iff
  4013     dvd_0 ~>                dvd_0_right
  4014     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_DIV ~> div_by_0
  4015     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_MOD ~> mod_by_0
  4016     mult_div ~>             div_mult_self2_is_id
  4017     mult_mod ~>             mod_mult_self2_is_0
  4018 
  4019 * Theory IntDiv: removed many lemmas that are instances of class-based
  4020 generalizations (from Divides and Ring_and_Field).  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4021 rename old lemmas as follows:
  4022 
  4023 dvd_diff               -> nat_dvd_diff
  4024 dvd_zminus_iff         -> dvd_minus_iff
  4025 mod_add1_eq            -> mod_add_eq

  4028 mod_mult_distrib_mod   -> mod_mult_eq
  4029 nat_mod_add_left_eq    -> mod_add_left_eq
  4030 nat_mod_add_right_eq   -> mod_add_right_eq
  4031 nat_mod_div_trivial    -> mod_div_trivial
  4032 nat_mod_mod_trivial    -> mod_mod_trivial
  4033 zdiv_zadd_self1        -> div_add_self1
  4034 zdiv_zadd_self2        -> div_add_self2
  4035 zdiv_zmult_self1       -> div_mult_self2_is_id
  4036 zdiv_zmult_self2       -> div_mult_self1_is_id
  4037 zdvd_triv_left         -> dvd_triv_left
  4038 zdvd_triv_right        -> dvd_triv_right
  4039 zdvd_zmult_cancel_disj -> dvd_mult_cancel_left
  4040 zmod_eq0_zdvd_iff      -> dvd_eq_mod_eq_0[symmetric]
  4041 zmod_zadd_left_eq      -> mod_add_left_eq
  4042 zmod_zadd_right_eq     -> mod_add_right_eq
  4043 zmod_zadd_self1        -> mod_add_self1
  4044 zmod_zadd_self2        -> mod_add_self2
  4045 zmod_zadd1_eq          -> mod_add_eq
  4046 zmod_zdiff1_eq         -> mod_diff_eq
  4047 zmod_zdvd_zmod         -> mod_mod_cancel
  4048 zmod_zmod_cancel       -> mod_mod_cancel
  4049 zmod_zmult_self1       -> mod_mult_self2_is_0
  4050 zmod_zmult_self2       -> mod_mult_self1_is_0
  4051 zmod_1                 -> mod_by_1
  4052 zdiv_1                 -> div_by_1
  4053 zdvd_abs1              -> abs_dvd_iff
  4054 zdvd_abs2              -> dvd_abs_iff

  4061 zdvd_zmultD            -> dvd_mult_right
  4062 zdvd_zmultD2           -> dvd_mult_left
  4063 zdvd_zmult_mono        -> mult_dvd_mono
  4064 zdvd_0_right           -> dvd_0_right
  4065 zdvd_0_left            -> dvd_0_left_iff
  4066 zdvd_1_left            -> one_dvd
  4067 zminus_dvd_iff         -> minus_dvd_iff
  4068 
  4069 * Theory Rational: 'Fract k 0' now equals '0'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4070 
  4071 * The real numbers offer decimal input syntax: 12.34 is translated
  4072 into 1234/10^2. This translation is not reversed upon output.
  4073 
  4074 * Theory Library/Polynomial defines an abstract type 'a poly of
  4075 univariate polynomials with coefficients of type 'a.  In addition to
  4076 the standard ring operations, it also supports div and mod.  Code
  4077 generation is also supported, using list-style constructors.
  4078 
  4079 * Theory Library/Inner_Product defines a class of real_inner for real
  4080 inner product spaces, with an overloaded operation inner :: 'a => 'a
  4081 => real.  Class real_inner is a subclass of real_normed_vector from
  4082 theory RealVector.
  4083 
  4084 * Theory Library/Product_Vector provides instances for the product
  4085 type 'a * 'b of several classes from RealVector and Inner_Product.
  4086 Definitions of addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, norms,
  4087 and inner products are included.
  4088 
  4089 * Theory Library/Bit defines the field "bit" of integers modulo 2.  In
  4090 addition to the field operations, numerals and case syntax are also
  4091 supported.
  4092 
  4093 * Theory Library/Diagonalize provides constructive version of Cantor's
  4094 first diagonalization argument.
  4095 
  4096 * Theory Library/GCD: Curried operations gcd, lcm (for nat) and zgcd,
  4097 zlcm (for int); carried together from various gcd/lcm developements in
  4098 the HOL Distribution.  Constants zgcd and zlcm replace former igcd and
  4099 ilcm; corresponding theorems renamed accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4100 may recover tupled syntax as follows:
  4101 
  4102     hide (open) const gcd
  4103     abbreviation gcd where
  4104       "gcd == (%(a, b). GCD.gcd a b)"
  4105     notation (output)
  4106       GCD.gcd ("gcd '(_, _')")
  4107 
  4108 The same works for lcm, zgcd, zlcm.
  4109 
  4110 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity: added addition, numeral syntax and more
  4111 instantiations for algebraic structures.  Removed some duplicate
  4112 theorems.  Changes in simp rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4113 
  4114 * ML antiquotation @{code} takes a constant as argument and generates
  4115 corresponding code in background and inserts name of the corresponding
  4116 resulting ML value/function/datatype constructor binding in place.
  4117 All occurrences of @{code} with a single ML block are generated
  4118 simultaneously.  Provides a generic and safe interface for
  4119 instrumentalizing code generation.  See
  4120 src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Ferrack.thy for a more ambitious application.
  4121 In future you ought to refrain from ad-hoc compiling generated SML
  4122 code on the ML toplevel.  Note that (for technical reasons) @{code}
  4123 cannot refer to constants for which user-defined serializations are
  4124 set.  Refer to the corresponding ML counterpart directly in that
  4125 cases.
  4126 
  4127 * Command 'rep_datatype': instead of theorem names the command now
  4128 takes a list of terms denoting the constructors of the type to be
  4129 represented as datatype.  The characteristic theorems have to be
  4130 proven.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Also observe that the following theorems
  4131 have disappeared in favour of existing ones:
  4132 
  4133     unit_induct                 ~> unit.induct
  4134     prod_induct                 ~> prod.induct
  4135     sum_induct                  ~> sum.induct
  4136     Suc_Suc_eq                  ~> nat.inject
  4137     Suc_not_Zero Zero_not_Suc   ~> nat.distinct
  4138 
  4139 
  4140 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  4141 
  4142 * New locales for orders and lattices where the equivalence relation
  4143 is not restricted to equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY: all order and lattice
  4144 locales use a record structure with field eq for the equivalence.
  4145 
  4146 * New theory of factorial domains.
  4147 
  4148 * Units_l_inv and Units_r_inv are now simp rules by default.
  4149 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Simplifier proof that require deletion of l_inv
  4150 and/or r_inv will now also require deletion of these lemmas.
  4151 
  4152 * Renamed the following theorems, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4153 
  4154 UpperD ~> Upper_memD
  4155 LowerD ~> Lower_memD
  4156 least_carrier ~> least_closed
  4157 greatest_carrier ~> greatest_closed
  4158 greatest_Lower_above ~> greatest_Lower_below
  4159 one_zero ~> carrier_one_zero
  4160 one_not_zero ~> carrier_one_not_zero  (collision with assumption)
  4161 
  4162 
  4163 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  4164 
  4165 * Nominal datatypes can now contain type-variables.
  4166 
  4167 * Commands 'nominal_inductive' and 'equivariance' work with local
  4168 theory targets.
  4169 
  4170 * Nominal primrec can now works with local theory targets and its
  4171 specification syntax now conforms to the general format as seen in
  4172 'inductive' etc.
  4173 
  4174 * Method "perm_simp" honours the standard simplifier attributes
  4175 (no_asm), (no_asm_use) etc.
  4176 
  4177 * The new predicate #* is defined like freshness, except that on the
  4178 left hand side can be a set or list of atoms.
  4179 
  4180 * Experimental command 'nominal_inductive2' derives strong induction
  4181 principles for inductive definitions.  In contrast to
  4182 'nominal_inductive', which can only deal with a fixed number of
  4183 binders, it can deal with arbitrary expressions standing for sets of
  4184 atoms to be avoided.  The only inductive definition we have at the
  4185 moment that needs this generalisation is the typing rule for Lets in
  4186 the algorithm W:
  4187 
  4188  Gamma |- t1 : T1   (x,close Gamma T1)::Gamma |- t2 : T2   x#Gamma
  4189  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  4190          Gamma |- Let x be t1 in t2 : T2
  4191 
  4192 In this rule one wants to avoid all the binders that are introduced by
  4193 "close Gamma T1".  We are looking for other examples where this
  4194 feature might be useful.  Please let us know.
  4195 
  4196 
  4197 *** HOLCF ***
  4198 
  4199 * Reimplemented the simplification procedure for proving continuity
  4200 subgoals.  The new simproc is extensible; users can declare additional
  4201 continuity introduction rules with the attribute [cont2cont].
  4202 
  4203 * The continuity simproc now uses a different introduction rule for
  4204 solving continuity subgoals on terms with lambda abstractions.  In
  4205 some rare cases the new simproc may fail to solve subgoals that the
  4206 old one could solve, and "simp add: cont2cont_LAM" may be necessary.
  4207 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4208 
  4209 * Command 'fixrec': specification syntax now conforms to the general
  4210 format as seen in 'inductive' etc.  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  4211 examples.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4212 
  4213 
  4214 *** ZF ***
  4215 
  4216 * Proof of Zorn's Lemma for partial orders.
  4217 
  4218 
  4219 *** ML ***
  4220 
  4221 * Multithreading for Poly/ML 5.1/5.2 is no longer supported, only for
  4222 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.  Important note: the TimeLimit facility
  4223 depends on multithreading, so timouts will not work before Poly/ML
  4224 5.2.1!
  4225 
  4226 * High-level support for concurrent ML programming, see
  4227 src/Pure/Cuncurrent.  The data-oriented model of "future values" is
  4228 particularly convenient to organize independent functional
  4229 computations.  The concept of "synchronized variables" provides a
  4230 higher-order interface for components with shared state, avoiding the
  4231 delicate details of mutexes and condition variables.  (Requires
  4232 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  4233 
  4234 * ML bindings produced via Isar commands are stored within the Isar
  4235 context (theory or proof).  Consequently, commands like 'use' and 'ML'
  4236 become thread-safe and work with undo as expected (concerning
  4237 top-level bindings, not side-effects on global references).
  4238 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to provide proper Isar context when invoking the
  4239 compiler at runtime; really global bindings need to be given outside a
  4240 theory.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  4241 
  4242 * Command 'ML_prf' is analogous to 'ML' but works within a proof
  4243 context.  Top-level ML bindings are stored within the proof context in
  4244 a purely sequential fashion, disregarding the nested proof structure.
  4245 ML bindings introduced by 'ML_prf' are discarded at the end of the
  4246 proof.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  4247 
  4248 * Simplified ML attribute and method setup, cf. functions Attrib.setup
  4249 and Method.setup, as well as Isar commands 'attribute_setup' and
  4250 'method_setup'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for 'method_setup', need to simplify
  4251 existing code accordingly, or use plain 'setup' together with old
  4252 Method.add_method.
  4253 
  4254 * Simplified ML oracle interface Thm.add_oracle promotes 'a -> cterm
  4255 to 'a -> thm, while results are always tagged with an authentic oracle
  4256 name.  The Isar command 'oracle' is now polymorphic, no argument type
  4257 is specified.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify existing oracle code
  4258 accordingly.  Note that extra performance may be gained by producing
  4259 the cterm carefully, avoiding slow Thm.cterm_of.
  4260 
  4261 * Simplified interface for defining document antiquotations via
  4262 ThyOutput.antiquotation, ThyOutput.output, and optionally
  4263 ThyOutput.maybe_pretty_source.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify user
  4264 antiquotations accordingly, see src/Pure/Thy/thy_output.ML for common
  4265 examples.
  4266 
  4267 * More systematic treatment of long names, abstract name bindings, and
  4268 name space operations.  Basic operations on qualified names have been
  4269 move from structure NameSpace to Long_Name, e.g. Long_Name.base_name,
  4270 Long_Name.append.  Old type bstring has been mostly replaced by
  4271 abstract type binding (see structure Binding), which supports precise
  4272 qualification by packages and local theory targets, as well as proper
  4273 tracking of source positions.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to wrap old
  4274 bstring values into Binding.name, or better pass through abstract
  4275 bindings everywhere.  See further src/Pure/General/long_name.ML,
  4276 src/Pure/General/binding.ML and src/Pure/General/name_space.ML
  4277 
  4278 * Result facts (from PureThy.note_thms, ProofContext.note_thms,
  4279 LocalTheory.note etc.) now refer to the *full* internal name, not the
  4280 bstring as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY, not detected by ML type-checking!
  4281 
  4282 * Disposed old type and term read functions (Sign.read_def_typ,
  4283 Sign.read_typ, Sign.read_def_terms, Sign.read_term,
  4284 Thm.read_def_cterms, Thm.read_cterm etc.).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should
  4285 use regular Syntax.read_typ, Syntax.read_term, Syntax.read_typ_global,
  4286 Syntax.read_term_global etc.; see also OldGoals.read_term as last
  4287 resort for legacy applications.
  4288 
  4289 * Disposed old declarations, tactics, tactic combinators that refer to
  4290 the simpset or claset of an implicit theory (such as Addsimps,
  4291 Simp_tac, SIMPSET).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should use @{simpset} etc. in
  4292 embedded ML text, or local_simpset_of with a proper context passed as
  4293 explicit runtime argument.
  4294 
  4295 * Rules and tactics that read instantiations (read_instantiate,
  4296 res_inst_tac, thin_tac, subgoal_tac etc.) now demand a proper proof
  4297 context, which is required for parsing and type-checking.  Moreover,
  4298 the variables are specified as plain indexnames, not string encodings
  4299 thereof.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4300 
  4301 * Generic Toplevel.add_hook interface allows to analyze the result of
  4302 transactions.  E.g. see src/Pure/ProofGeneral/proof_general_pgip.ML
  4303 for theorem dependency output of transactions resulting in a new
  4304 theory state.
  4305 
  4306 * ML antiquotations: block-structured compilation context indicated by
  4307 \<lbrace> ... \<rbrace>; additional antiquotation forms:
  4308 
  4309   @{binding name}                         - basic name binding
  4310   @{let ?pat = term}                      - term abbreviation (HO matching)
  4311   @{note name = fact}                     - fact abbreviation
  4312   @{thm fact}                             - singleton fact (with attributes)
  4313   @{thms fact}                            - general fact (with attributes)
  4314   @{lemma prop by method}                 - singleton goal
  4315   @{lemma prop by meth1 meth2}            - singleton goal
  4316   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by method}      - general goal
  4317   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by meth1 meth2} - general goal
  4318   @{lemma (open) ...}                     - open derivation
  4319 
  4320 
  4321 *** System ***
  4322 
  4323 * The Isabelle "emacs" tool provides a specific interface to invoke
  4324 Proof General / Emacs, with more explicit failure if that is not
  4325 installed (the old isabelle-interface script silently falls back on
  4326 isabelle-process).  The PROOFGENERAL_HOME setting determines the
  4327 installation location of the Proof General distribution.
  4328 
  4329 * Isabelle/lib/classes/Pure.jar provides basic support to integrate
  4330 the Isabelle process into a JVM/Scala application.  See
  4331 Isabelle/lib/jedit/plugin for a minimal example.  (The obsolete Java
  4332 process wrapper has been discontinued.)
  4333 
  4334 * Added homegrown Isabelle font with unicode layout, see lib/fonts.
  4335 
  4336 * Various status messages (with exact source position information) are
  4337 emitted, if proper markup print mode is enabled.  This allows
  4338 user-interface components to provide detailed feedback on internal
  4339 prover operations.
  4340 
  4341 
  4342 
  4343 New in Isabelle2008 (June 2008)
  4344 -------------------------------
  4345 
  4346 *** General ***
  4347 
  4348 * The Isabelle/Isar Reference Manual (isar-ref) has been reorganized
  4349 and updated, with formally checked references as hyperlinks.
  4350 
  4351 * Theory loader: use_thy (and similar operations) no longer set the
  4352 implicit ML context, which was occasionally hard to predict and in
  4353 conflict with concurrency.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML within Isar which
  4354 provides a proper context already.
  4355 
  4356 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  4357 file are no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, regular 'uses' and
  4358 'use' within a theory file will do the job.
  4359 
  4360 * Name space merge now observes canonical order, i.e. the second space
  4361 is inserted into the first one, while existing entries in the first
  4362 space take precedence.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, may try to
  4363 swap theory imports.
  4364 
  4365 * Syntax: symbol \<chi> is now considered a letter.  Potential
  4366 INCOMPATIBILITY in identifier syntax etc.
  4367 
  4368 * Outer syntax: string tokens no longer admit escaped white space,
  4369 which was an accidental (undocumented) feature.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  4370 white space without escapes.
  4371 
  4372 * Outer syntax: string tokens may contain arbitrary character codes
  4373 specified via 3 decimal digits (as in SML).  E.g. "foo\095bar" for
  4374 "foo_bar".
  4375 
  4376 
  4377 *** Pure ***
  4378 
  4379 * Context-dependent token translations.  Default setup reverts locally
  4380 fixed variables, and adds hilite markup for undeclared frees.
  4381 
  4382 * Unused theorems can be found using the new command 'unused_thms'.
  4383 There are three ways of invoking it:
  4384 
  4385 (1) unused_thms
  4386      Only finds unused theorems in the current theory.
  4387 
  4388 (2) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n -
  4389      Finds unused theorems in the current theory and all of its ancestors,
  4390      excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of their ancestors.
  4391 
  4392 (3) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n - thy'_1 ... thy'_m
  4393      Finds unused theorems in the theories thy'_1 ... thy'_m and all of
  4394      their ancestors, excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of
  4395      their ancestors.
  4396 
  4397 In order to increase the readability of the list produced by
  4398 unused_thms, theorems that have been created by a particular instance
  4399 of a theory command such as 'inductive' or 'function' are considered
  4400 to belong to the same "group", meaning that if at least one theorem in
  4401 this group is used, the other theorems in the same group are no longer
  4402 reported as unused.  Moreover, if all theorems in the group are
  4403 unused, only one theorem in the group is displayed.
  4404 
  4405 Note that proof objects have to be switched on in order for
  4406 unused_thms to work properly (i.e. !proofs must be >= 1, which is
  4407 usually the case when using Proof General with the default settings).
  4408 
  4409 * Authentic naming of facts disallows ad-hoc overwriting of previous
  4410 theorems within the same name space.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to remove
  4411 duplicate fact bindings, or even accidental fact duplications.  Note
  4412 that tools may maintain dynamically scoped facts systematically, using
  4413 PureThy.add_thms_dynamic.
  4414 
  4415 * Command 'hide' now allows to hide from "fact" name space as well.
  4416 
  4417 * Eliminated destructive theorem database, simpset, claset, and
  4418 clasimpset.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, really need to observe linear
  4419 update of theories within ML code.
  4420 
  4421 * Eliminated theory ProtoPure and CPure, leaving just one Pure theory.
  4422 INCOMPATIBILITY, object-logics depending on former Pure require
  4423 additional setup PureThy.old_appl_syntax_setup; object-logics
  4424 depending on former CPure need to refer to Pure.
  4425 
  4426 * Commands 'use' and 'ML' are now purely functional, operating on
  4427 theory/local_theory.  Removed former 'ML_setup' (on theory), use 'ML'
  4428 instead.  Added 'ML_val' as mere diagnostic replacement for 'ML'.
  4429 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4430 
  4431 * Command 'setup': discontinued implicit version with ML reference.
  4432 
  4433 * Instantiation target allows for simultaneous specification of class
  4434 instance operations together with an instantiation proof.
  4435 Type-checking phase allows to refer to class operations uniformly.
  4436 See src/HOL/Complex/Complex.thy for an Isar example and
  4437 src/HOL/Library/Eval.thy for an ML example.
  4438 
  4439 * Indexing of literal facts: be more serious about including only
  4440 facts from the visible specification/proof context, but not the
  4441 background context (locale etc.).  Affects `prop` notation and method
  4442 "fact".  INCOMPATIBILITY: need to name facts explicitly in rare
  4443 situations.
  4444 
  4445 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": removed obsolete/undocumented
  4446 "(open)" option, which used to expose internal bound variables to the
  4447 proof text.
  4448 
  4449 * Isar statements: removed obsolete case "rule_context".
  4450 INCOMPATIBILITY, better use explicit fixes/assumes.
  4451 
  4452 * Locale proofs: default proof step now includes 'unfold_locales';
  4453 hence 'proof' without argument may be used to unfold locale
  4454 predicates.
  4455 
  4456 
  4457 *** Document preparation ***
  4458 
  4459 * Simplified pdfsetup.sty: color/hyperref is used unconditionally for
  4460 both pdf and dvi (hyperlinks usually work in xdvi as well); removed
  4461 obsolete thumbpdf setup (contemporary PDF viewers do this on the
  4462 spot); renamed link color from "darkblue" to "linkcolor" (default
  4463 value unchanged, can be redefined via \definecolor); no longer sets
  4464 "a4paper" option (unnecessary or even intrusive).
  4465 
  4466 * Antiquotation @{lemma A method} proves proposition A by the given
  4467 method (either a method name or a method name plus (optional) method
  4468 arguments in parentheses) and prints A just like @{prop A}.
  4469 
  4470 
  4471 *** HOL ***
  4472 
  4473 * New primrec package.  Specification syntax conforms in style to
  4474 definition/function/....  No separate induction rule is provided.  The
  4475 "primrec" command distinguishes old-style and new-style specifications
  4476 by syntax.  The former primrec package is now named OldPrimrecPackage.
  4477 When adjusting theories, beware: constants stemming from new-style
  4478 primrec specifications have authentic syntax.
  4479 
  4480 * Metis prover is now an order of magnitude faster, and also works
  4481 with multithreading.
  4482 
  4483 * Metis: the maximum number of clauses that can be produced from a
  4484 theorem is now given by the attribute max_clauses.  Theorems that
  4485 exceed this number are ignored, with a warning printed.
  4486 
  4487 * Sledgehammer no longer produces structured proofs by default. To
  4488 enable, declare [[sledgehammer_full = true]].  Attributes
  4489 reconstruction_modulus, reconstruction_sorts renamed
  4490 sledgehammer_modulus, sledgehammer_sorts.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4491 
  4492 * Method "induct_scheme" derives user-specified induction rules
  4493 from well-founded induction and completeness of patterns. This factors
  4494 out some operations that are done internally by the function package
  4495 and makes them available separately.  See
  4496 src/HOL/ex/Induction_Scheme.thy for examples.
  4497 
  4498 * More flexible generation of measure functions for termination
  4499 proofs: Measure functions can be declared by proving a rule of the
  4500 form "is_measure f" and giving it the [measure_function] attribute.
  4501 The "is_measure" predicate is logically meaningless (always true), and
  4502 just guides the heuristic.  To find suitable measure functions, the
  4503 termination prover sets up the goal "is_measure ?f" of the appropriate
  4504 type and generates all solutions by prolog-style backwards proof using
  4505 the declared rules.
  4506 
  4507 This setup also deals with rules like 
  4508 
  4509   "is_measure f ==> is_measure (list_size f)"
  4510 
  4511 which accommodates nested datatypes that recurse through lists.
  4512 Similar rules are predeclared for products and option types.
  4513 
  4514 * Turned the type of sets "'a set" into an abbreviation for "'a => bool"
  4515 
  4516   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  4517 
  4518   - Definitions of overloaded constants on sets have to be replaced by
  4519     definitions on => and bool.
  4520 
  4521   - Some definitions of overloaded operators on sets can now be proved
  4522     using the definitions of the operators on => and bool.  Therefore,
  4523     the following theorems have been renamed:
  4524 
  4525       subset_def   -> subset_eq
  4526       psubset_def  -> psubset_eq
  4527       set_diff_def -> set_diff_eq
  4528       Compl_def    -> Compl_eq

  4532       inf_set_def  -> inf_set_eq
  4533 
  4534   - Due to the incompleteness of the HO unification algorithm, some
  4535     rules such as subst may require manual instantiation, if some of
  4536     the unknowns in the rule is a set.
  4537 
  4538   - Higher order unification and forward proofs:
  4539     The proof pattern
  4540 
  4541       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  4542       then have "EX S. P S" ..
  4543 
  4544     no longer works (due to the incompleteness of the HO unification
  4545     algorithm) and must be replaced by the pattern
  4546 
  4547       have "EX S. P S"
  4548       proof
  4549         show "P S" <...>
  4550       qed
  4551 
  4552   - Calculational reasoning with subst (or similar rules):
  4553     The proof pattern
  4554 
  4555       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  4556       also have "S = T" <...>
  4557       finally have "P T" .
  4558 
  4559     no longer works (for similar reasons as the previous example) and
  4560     must be replaced by something like
  4561 
  4562       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  4563       moreover have "S = T" <...>
  4564       ultimately have "P T" by simp
  4565 
  4566   - Tactics or packages written in ML code:
  4567     Code performing pattern matching on types via
  4568 
  4569       Type ("set", [T]) => ...
  4570 
  4571     must be rewritten. Moreover, functions like strip_type or
  4572     binder_types no longer return the right value when applied to a
  4573     type of the form
  4574 
  4575       T1 => ... => Tn => U => bool
  4576 
  4577     rather than
  4578 
  4579       T1 => ... => Tn => U set
  4580 
  4581 * Merged theories Wellfounded_Recursion, Accessible_Part and
  4582 Wellfounded_Relations to theory Wellfounded.
  4583 
  4584 * Explicit class "eq" for executable equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4585 
  4586 * Class finite no longer treats UNIV as class parameter.  Use class
  4587 enum from theory Library/Enum instead to achieve a similar effect.
  4588 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4589 
  4590 * Theory List: rule list_induct2 now has explicitly named cases "Nil"
  4591 and "Cons".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4592 
  4593 * HOL (and FOL): renamed variables in rules imp_elim and swap.
  4594 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4595 
  4596 * Theory Product_Type: duplicated lemmas split_Pair_apply and
  4597 injective_fst_snd removed, use split_eta and prod_eqI instead.
  4598 Renamed upd_fst to apfst and upd_snd to apsnd.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4599 
  4600 * Theory Nat: removed redundant lemmas that merely duplicate lemmas of
  4601 the same name in theory Orderings:
  4602 
  4603   less_trans
  4604   less_linear
  4605   le_imp_less_or_eq
  4606   le_less_trans
  4607   less_le_trans
  4608   less_not_sym
  4609   less_asym
  4610 
  4611 Renamed less_imp_le to less_imp_le_nat, and less_irrefl to
  4612 less_irrefl_nat.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to more general types
  4613 and different variable names.
  4614 
  4615 * Library/Option_ord.thy: Canonical order on option type.
  4616 
  4617 * Library/RBT.thy: Red-black trees, an efficient implementation of
  4618 finite maps.
  4619 
  4620 * Library/Countable.thy: Type class for countable types.
  4621 
  4622 * Theory Int: The representation of numerals has changed.  The infix
  4623 operator BIT and the bit datatype with constructors B0 and B1 have
  4624 disappeared.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "Int.Bit0 x" and "Int.Bit1 y" in
  4625 place of "x BIT bit.B0" and "y BIT bit.B1", respectively.  Theorems
  4626 involving BIT, B0, or B1 have been renamed with "Bit0" or "Bit1"
  4627 accordingly.
  4628 
  4629 * Theory Nat: definition of <= and < on natural numbers no longer
  4630 depend on well-founded relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Definitions
  4631 le_def and less_def have disappeared.  Consider lemmas not_less
  4632 [symmetric, where ?'a = nat] and less_eq [symmetric] instead.
  4633 
  4634 * Theory Finite_Set: locales ACf, ACe, ACIf, ACIfSL and ACIfSLlin
  4635 (whose purpose mainly is for various fold_set functionals) have been
  4636 abandoned in favor of the existing algebraic classes
  4637 ab_semigroup_mult, comm_monoid_mult, ab_semigroup_idem_mult,
  4638 lower_semilattice (resp. upper_semilattice) and linorder.
  4639 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4640 
  4641 * Theory Transitive_Closure: induct and cases rules now declare proper
  4642 case_names ("base" and "step").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4643 
  4644 * Theorem Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct generalized to complete
  4645 lattices.  The form set-specific version is available as
  4646 Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct_set.
  4647 
  4648 * Renamed theorems "power.simps" to "power_int.simps".
  4649 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4650 
  4651 * Class semiring_div provides basic abstract properties of semirings
  4652 with division and modulo operations.  Subsumes former class dvd_mod.
  4653 
  4654 * Merged theories IntDef, Numeral and IntArith into unified theory
  4655 Int.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4656 
  4657 * Theory Library/Code_Index: type "index" now represents natural
  4658 numbers rather than integers.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4659 
  4660 * New class "uminus" with operation "uminus" (split of from class
  4661 "minus" which now only has operation "minus", binary).
  4662 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4663 
  4664 * Constants "card", "internal_split", "option_map" now with authentic
  4665 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4666 
  4667 * Definitions subset_def, psubset_def, set_diff_def, Compl_def,
  4668 le_bool_def, less_bool_def, le_fun_def, less_fun_def, inf_bool_def,
  4669 sup_bool_def, Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, inf_fun_def, sup_fun_def,
  4670 Inf_fun_def, Sup_fun_def, inf_set_def, sup_set_def, Inf_set_def,
  4671 Sup_set_def, le_def, less_def, option_map_def now with object
  4672 equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4673 
  4674 * Records. Removed K_record, and replaced it by pure lambda term
  4675 %x. c. The simplifier setup is now more robust against eta expansion.
  4676 INCOMPATIBILITY: in cases explicitly referring to K_record.
  4677 
  4678 * Library/Multiset: {#a, b, c#} abbreviates {#a#} + {#b#} + {#c#}.
  4679 
  4680 * Library/ListVector: new theory of arithmetic vector operations.
  4681 
  4682 * Library/Order_Relation: new theory of various orderings as sets of
  4683 pairs.  Defines preorders, partial orders, linear orders and
  4684 well-orders on sets and on types.
  4685 
  4686 
  4687 *** ZF ***
  4688 
  4689 * Renamed some theories to allow to loading both ZF and HOL in the
  4690 same session:
  4691 
  4692   Datatype  -> Datatype_ZF
  4693   Inductive -> Inductive_ZF
  4694   Int       -> Int_ZF
  4695   IntDiv    -> IntDiv_ZF
  4696   Nat       -> Nat_ZF
  4697   List      -> List_ZF
  4698   Main      -> Main_ZF
  4699 
  4700 INCOMPATIBILITY: ZF theories that import individual theories below
  4701 Main might need to be adapted.  Regular theory Main is still
  4702 available, as trivial extension of Main_ZF.
  4703 
  4704 
  4705 *** ML ***
  4706 
  4707 * ML within Isar: antiquotation @{const name} or @{const
  4708 name(typargs)} produces statically-checked Const term.
  4709 
  4710 * Functor NamedThmsFun: data is available to the user as dynamic fact
  4711 (of the same name).  Removed obsolete print command.
  4712 
  4713 * Removed obsolete "use_legacy_bindings" function.
  4714 
  4715 * The ``print mode'' is now a thread-local value derived from a global
  4716 template (the former print_mode reference), thus access becomes
  4717 non-critical.  The global print_mode reference is for session
  4718 management only; user-code should use print_mode_value,
  4719 print_mode_active, PrintMode.setmp etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4720 
  4721 * Functions system/system_out provide a robust way to invoke external
  4722 shell commands, with propagation of interrupts (requires Poly/ML
  4723 5.2.1).  Do not use OS.Process.system etc. from the basis library!
  4724 
  4725 
  4726 *** System ***
  4727 
  4728 * Default settings: PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS no longer impose xemacs ---
  4729 in accordance with Proof General 3.7, which prefers GNU emacs.
  4730 
  4731 * isatool tty runs Isabelle process with plain tty interaction;
  4732 optional line editor may be specified via ISABELLE_LINE_EDITOR
  4733 setting, the default settings attempt to locate "ledit" and "rlwrap".
  4734 
  4735 * isatool browser now works with Cygwin as well, using general
  4736 "javapath" function defined in Isabelle process environment.
  4737 
  4738 * YXML notation provides a simple and efficient alternative to
  4739 standard XML transfer syntax.  See src/Pure/General/yxml.ML and
  4740 isatool yxml as described in the Isabelle system manual.
  4741 
  4742 * JVM class isabelle.IsabelleProcess (located in Isabelle/lib/classes)
  4743 provides general wrapper for managing an Isabelle process in a robust
  4744 fashion, with ``cooked'' output from stdin/stderr.
  4745 
  4746 * Rudimentary Isabelle plugin for jEdit (see Isabelle/lib/jedit),
  4747 based on Isabelle/JVM process wrapper (see Isabelle/lib/classes).
  4748 
  4749 * Removed obsolete THIS_IS_ISABELLE_BUILD feature.  NB: the documented
  4750 way of changing the user's settings is via
  4751 ISABELLE_HOME_USER/etc/settings, which is a fully featured bash
  4752 script.
  4753 
  4754 * Multithreading.max_threads := 0 refers to the number of actual CPU
  4755 cores of the underlying machine, which is a good starting point for
  4756 optimal performance tuning.  The corresponding usedir option -M allows
  4757 "max" as an alias for "0".  WARNING: does not work on certain versions
  4758 of Mac OS (with Poly/ML 5.1).
  4759 
  4760 * isabelle-process: non-ML sessions are run with "nice", to reduce the
  4761 adverse effect of Isabelle flooding interactive front-ends (notably
  4762 ProofGeneral / XEmacs).
  4763 
  4764 
  4765 
  4766 New in Isabelle2007 (November 2007)
  4767 -----------------------------------
  4768 
  4769 *** General ***
  4770 
  4771 * More uniform information about legacy features, notably a
  4772 warning/error of "Legacy feature: ...", depending on the state of the
  4773 tolerate_legacy_features flag (default true). FUTURE INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4774 legacy features will disappear eventually.
  4775 
  4776 * Theory syntax: the header format ``theory A = B + C:'' has been
  4777 discontinued in favour of ``theory A imports B C begin''.  Use isatool
  4778 fixheaders to convert existing theory files.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4779 
  4780 * Theory syntax: the old non-Isar theory file format has been
  4781 discontinued altogether.  Note that ML proof scripts may still be used
  4782 with Isar theories; migration is usually quite simple with the ML
  4783 function use_legacy_bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4784 
  4785 * Theory syntax: some popular names (e.g. 'class', 'declaration',
  4786 'fun', 'help', 'if') are now keywords.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use double
  4787 quotes.
  4788 
  4789 * Theory loader: be more serious about observing the static theory
  4790 header specifications (including optional directories), but not the
  4791 accidental file locations of previously successful loads.  The strict
  4792 update policy of former update_thy is now already performed by
  4793 use_thy, so the former has been removed; use_thys updates several
  4794 theories simultaneously, just as 'imports' within a theory header
  4795 specification, but without merging the results.  Potential
  4796 INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to refine theory headers and commands
  4797 ROOT.ML which depend on load order.
  4798 
  4799 * Theory loader: optional support for content-based file
  4800 identification, instead of the traditional scheme of full physical
  4801 path plus date stamp; configured by the ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT setting
  4802 (cf. the system manual).  The new scheme allows to work with
  4803 non-finished theories in persistent session images, such that source
  4804 files may be moved later on without requiring reloads.
  4805 
  4806 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  4807 file (with the same base name as the theory) are considered a legacy
  4808 feature, which will disappear eventually. Even now, the theory loader
  4809 no longer maintains dependencies on such files.
  4810 
  4811 * Syntax: the scope for resolving ambiguities via type-inference is
  4812 now limited to individual terms, instead of whole simultaneous
  4813 specifications as before. This greatly reduces the complexity of the
  4814 syntax module and improves flexibility by separating parsing and
  4815 type-checking. INCOMPATIBILITY: additional type-constraints (explicit
  4816 'fixes' etc.) are required in rare situations.
  4817 
  4818 * Syntax: constants introduced by new-style packages ('definition',
  4819 'abbreviation' etc.) are passed through the syntax module in
  4820 ``authentic mode''. This means that associated mixfix annotations
  4821 really stick to such constants, independently of potential name space
  4822 ambiguities introduced later on. INCOMPATIBILITY: constants in parse
  4823 trees are represented slightly differently, may need to adapt syntax
  4824 translations accordingly. Use CONST marker in 'translations' and
  4825 @{const_syntax} antiquotation in 'parse_translation' etc.
  4826 
  4827 * Legacy goal package: reduced interface to the bare minimum required
  4828 to keep existing proof scripts running.  Most other user-level
  4829 functions are now part of the OldGoals structure, which is *not* open
  4830 by default (consider isatool expandshort before open OldGoals).
  4831 Removed top_sg, prin, printyp, pprint_term/typ altogether, because
  4832 these tend to cause confusion about the actual goal (!) context being
  4833 used here, which is not necessarily the same as the_context().
  4834 
  4835 * Command 'find_theorems': supports "*" wild-card in "name:"
  4836 criterion; "with_dups" option.  Certain ProofGeneral versions might
  4837 support a specific search form (see ProofGeneral/CHANGES).
  4838 
  4839 * The ``prems limit'' option (cf. ProofContext.prems_limit) is now -1
  4840 by default, which means that "prems" (and also "fixed variables") are
  4841 suppressed from proof state output.  Note that the ProofGeneral
  4842 settings mechanism allows to change and save options persistently, but
  4843 older versions of Isabelle will fail to start up if a negative prems
  4844 limit is imposed.
  4845 
  4846 * Local theory targets may be specified by non-nested blocks of
  4847 ``context/locale/class ... begin'' followed by ``end''.  The body may
  4848 contain definitions, theorems etc., including any derived mechanism
  4849 that has been implemented on top of these primitives.  This concept
  4850 generalizes the existing ``theorem (in ...)'' towards more versatility
  4851 and scalability.
  4852 
  4853 * Proof General interface: proper undo of final 'end' command;
  4854 discontinued Isabelle/classic mode (ML proof scripts).
  4855 
  4856 
  4857 *** Document preparation ***
  4858 
  4859 * Added antiquotation @{theory name} which prints the given name,
  4860 after checking that it refers to a valid ancestor theory in the
  4861 current context.
  4862 
  4863 * Added antiquotations @{ML_type text} and @{ML_struct text} which
  4864 check the given source text as ML type/structure, printing verbatim.
  4865 
  4866 * Added antiquotation @{abbrev "c args"} which prints the abbreviation
  4867 "c args == rhs" given in the current context.  (Any number of
  4868 arguments may be given on the LHS.)
  4869 
  4870 
  4871 *** Pure ***
  4872 
  4873 * The 'class' package offers a combination of axclass and locale to
  4874 achieve Haskell-like type classes in Isabelle.  Definitions and
  4875 theorems within a class context produce both relative results (with
  4876 implicit parameters according to the locale context), and polymorphic
  4877 constants with qualified polymorphism (according to the class
  4878 context).  Within the body context of a 'class' target, a separate
  4879 syntax layer ("user space type system") takes care of converting
  4880 between global polymorphic consts and internal locale representation.
  4881 See src/HOL/ex/Classpackage.thy for examples (as well as main HOL).
  4882 "isatool doc classes" provides a tutorial.
  4883 
  4884 * Generic code generator framework allows to generate executable
  4885 code for ML and Haskell (including Isabelle classes).  A short usage
  4886 sketch:
  4887 
  4888     internal compilation:
  4889         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML
  4890     writing SML code to a file:
  4891         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML <filename>
  4892     writing OCaml code to a file:
  4893         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in OCaml <filename>
  4894     writing Haskell code to a bunch of files:
  4895         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in Haskell <filename>
  4896 
  4897     evaluating closed propositions to True/False using code generation:
  4898         method ``eval''
  4899 
  4900 Reasonable default setup of framework in HOL.
  4901 
  4902 Theorem attributs for selecting and transforming function equations theorems:
  4903 
  4904     [code fun]:        select a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  4905     [code fun del]:    deselect a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  4906     [code inline]:     select an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  4907     [code inline del]: deselect an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  4908 
  4909 User-defined serializations (target in {SML, OCaml, Haskell}):
  4910 
  4911     code_const <and-list of constants (term syntax)>
  4912       {(target) <and-list of const target syntax>}+
  4913 
  4914     code_type <and-list of type constructors>
  4915       {(target) <and-list of type target syntax>}+
  4916 
  4917     code_instance <and-list of instances>
  4918       {(target)}+
  4919         where instance ::= <type constructor> :: <class>
  4920 
  4921     code_class <and_list of classes>
  4922       {(target) <and-list of class target syntax>}+
  4923         where class target syntax ::= <class name> {where {<classop> == <target syntax>}+}?
  4924 
  4925 code_instance and code_class only are effective to target Haskell.
  4926 
  4927 For example usage see src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator.thy and
  4928 src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator_Pretty.thy.  A separate tutorial on code
  4929 generation from Isabelle/HOL theories is available via "isatool doc
  4930 codegen".
  4931 
  4932 * Code generator: consts in 'consts_code' Isar commands are now
  4933 referred to by usual term syntax (including optional type
  4934 annotations).
  4935 
  4936 * Command 'no_translations' removes translation rules from theory
  4937 syntax.
  4938 
  4939 * Overloaded definitions are now actually checked for acyclic
  4940 dependencies.  The overloading scheme is slightly more general than
  4941 that of Haskell98, although Isabelle does not demand an exact
  4942 correspondence to type class and instance declarations.
  4943 INCOMPATIBILITY, use ``defs (unchecked overloaded)'' to admit more
  4944 exotic versions of overloading -- at the discretion of the user!
  4945 
  4946 Polymorphic constants are represented via type arguments, i.e. the
  4947 instantiation that matches an instance against the most general
  4948 declaration given in the signature.  For example, with the declaration
  4949 c :: 'a => 'a => 'a, an instance c :: nat => nat => nat is represented
  4950 as c(nat).  Overloading is essentially simultaneous structural
  4951 recursion over such type arguments.  Incomplete specification patterns
  4952 impose global constraints on all occurrences, e.g. c('a * 'a) on the
  4953 LHS means that more general c('a * 'b) will be disallowed on any RHS.
  4954 Command 'print_theory' outputs the normalized system of recursive
  4955 equations, see section "definitions".
  4956 
  4957 * Configuration options are maintained within the theory or proof
  4958 context (with name and type bool/int/string), providing a very simple
  4959 interface to a poor-man's version of general context data.  Tools may
  4960 declare options in ML (e.g. using Attrib.config_int) and then refer to
  4961 these values using Config.get etc.  Users may change options via an
  4962 associated attribute of the same name.  This form of context
  4963 declaration works particularly well with commands 'declare' or
  4964 'using', for example ``declare [[foo = 42]]''.  Thus it has become
  4965 very easy to avoid global references, which would not observe Isar
  4966 toplevel undo/redo and fail to work with multithreading.
  4967 
  4968 Various global ML references of Pure and HOL have been turned into
  4969 configuration options:
  4970 
  4971   Unify.search_bound		unify_search_bound
  4972   Unify.trace_bound		unify_trace_bound
  4973   Unify.trace_simp		unify_trace_simp

  4981 * Named collections of theorems may be easily installed as context
  4982 data using the functor NamedThmsFun (see also
  4983 src/Pure/Tools/named_thms.ML).  The user may add or delete facts via
  4984 attributes; there is also a toplevel print command.  This facility is
  4985 just a common case of general context data, which is the preferred way
  4986 for anything more complex than just a list of facts in canonical
  4987 order.
  4988 
  4989 * Isar: command 'declaration' augments a local theory by generic
  4990 declaration functions written in ML.  This enables arbitrary content
  4991 being added to the context, depending on a morphism that tells the
  4992 difference of the original declaration context wrt. the application
  4993 context encountered later on.
  4994 
  4995 * Isar: proper interfaces for simplification procedures.  Command
  4996 'simproc_setup' declares named simprocs (with match patterns, and body
  4997 text in ML).  Attribute "simproc" adds/deletes simprocs in the current
  4998 context.  ML antiquotation @{simproc name} retrieves named simprocs.
  4999 
  5000 * Isar: an extra pair of brackets around attribute declarations
  5001 abbreviates a theorem reference involving an internal dummy fact,
  5002 which will be ignored later --- only the effect of the attribute on
  5003 the background context will persist.  This form of in-place
  5004 declarations is particularly useful with commands like 'declare' and
  5005 'using', for example ``have A using [[simproc a]] by simp''.
  5006 
  5007 * Isar: method "assumption" (and implicit closing of subproofs) now
  5008 takes simple non-atomic goal assumptions into account: after applying
  5009 an assumption as a rule the resulting subgoals are solved by atomic
  5010 assumption steps.  This is particularly useful to finish 'obtain'
  5011 goals, such as "!!x. (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> P x ==> thesis",
  5012 without referring to the original premise "!!x. P x ==> thesis" in the
  5013 Isar proof context.  POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY: method "assumption" is
  5014 more permissive.
  5015 
  5016 * Isar: implicit use of prems from the Isar proof context is
  5017 considered a legacy feature.  Common applications like ``have A .''
  5018 may be replaced by ``have A by fact'' or ``note `A`''.  In general,
  5019 referencing facts explicitly here improves readability and
  5020 maintainability of proof texts.
  5021 
  5022 * Isar: improper proof element 'guess' is like 'obtain', but derives
  5023 the obtained context from the course of reasoning!  For example:
  5024 
  5025   assume "EX x y. A x & B y"   -- "any previous fact"
  5026   then guess x and y by clarify
  5027 
  5028 This technique is potentially adventurous, depending on the facts and
  5029 proof tools being involved here.
  5030 
  5031 * Isar: known facts from the proof context may be specified as literal
  5032 propositions, using ASCII back-quote syntax.  This works wherever
  5033 named facts used to be allowed so far, in proof commands, proof
  5034 methods, attributes etc.  Literal facts are retrieved from the context
  5035 according to unification of type and term parameters.  For example,
  5036 provided that "A" and "A ==> B" and "!!x. P x ==> Q x" are known
  5037 theorems in the current context, then these are valid literal facts:
  5038 `A` and `A ==> B` and `!!x. P x ==> Q x" as well as `P a ==> Q a` etc.
  5039 
  5040 There is also a proof method "fact" which does the same composition
  5041 for explicit goal states, e.g. the following proof texts coincide with
  5042 certain special cases of literal facts:
  5043 
  5044   have "A" by fact                 ==  note `A`
  5045   have "A ==> B" by fact           ==  note `A ==> B`
  5046   have "!!x. P x ==> Q x" by fact  ==  note `!!x. P x ==> Q x`
  5047   have "P a ==> Q a" by fact       ==  note `P a ==> Q a`
  5048 
  5049 * Isar: ":" (colon) is no longer a symbolic identifier character in
  5050 outer syntax.  Thus symbolic identifiers may be used without
  5051 additional white space in declarations like this: ``assume *: A''.
  5052 
  5053 * Isar: 'print_facts' prints all local facts of the current context,
  5054 both named and unnamed ones.
  5055 
  5056 * Isar: 'def' now admits simultaneous definitions, e.g.:
  5057 
  5058   def x == "t" and y == "u"
  5059 
  5060 * Isar: added command 'unfolding', which is structurally similar to
  5061 'using', but affects both the goal state and facts by unfolding given
  5062 rewrite rules.  Thus many occurrences of the 'unfold' method or
  5063 'unfolded' attribute may be replaced by first-class proof text.
  5064 
  5065 * Isar: methods 'unfold' / 'fold', attributes 'unfolded' / 'folded',
  5066 and command 'unfolding' now all support object-level equalities
  5067 (potentially conditional).  The underlying notion of rewrite rule is
  5068 analogous to the 'rule_format' attribute, but *not* that of the
  5069 Simplifier (which is usually more generous).
  5070 
  5071 * Isar: the new attribute [rotated n] (default n = 1) rotates the
  5072 premises of a theorem by n. Useful in conjunction with drule.
  5073 
  5074 * Isar: the goal restriction operator [N] (default N = 1) evaluates a
  5075 method expression within a sandbox consisting of the first N
  5076 sub-goals, which need to exist.  For example, ``simp_all [3]''
  5077 simplifies the first three sub-goals, while (rule foo, simp_all)[]
  5078 simplifies all new goals that emerge from applying rule foo to the
  5079 originally first one.
  5080 
  5081 * Isar: schematic goals are no longer restricted to higher-order
  5082 patterns; e.g. ``lemma "?P(?x)" by (rule TrueI)'' now works as
  5083 expected.
  5084 
  5085 * Isar: the conclusion of a long theorem statement is now either
  5086 'shows' (a simultaneous conjunction, as before), or 'obtains'
  5087 (essentially a disjunction of cases with local parameters and
  5088 assumptions).  The latter allows to express general elimination rules
  5089 adequately; in this notation common elimination rules look like this:
  5090 
  5091   lemma exE:    -- "EX x. P x ==> (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5092     assumes "EX x. P x"
  5093     obtains x where "P x"
  5094 
  5095   lemma conjE:  -- "A & B ==> (A ==> B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5096     assumes "A & B"
  5097     obtains A and B
  5098 
  5099   lemma disjE:  -- "A | B ==> (A ==> thesis) ==> (B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5100     assumes "A | B"
  5101     obtains
  5102       A
  5103     | B
  5104 
  5105 The subsequent classical rules even refer to the formal "thesis"
  5106 explicitly:
  5107 
  5108   lemma classical:     -- "(~ thesis ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5109     obtains "~ thesis"
  5110 
  5111   lemma Peirce's_Law:  -- "((thesis ==> something) ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5112     obtains "thesis ==> something"
  5113 
  5114 The actual proof of an 'obtains' statement is analogous to that of the
  5115 Isar proof element 'obtain', only that there may be several cases.
  5116 Optional case names may be specified in parentheses; these will be
  5117 available both in the present proof and as annotations in the
  5118 resulting rule, for later use with the 'cases' method (cf. attribute
  5119 case_names).
  5120 
  5121 * Isar: the assumptions of a long theorem statement are available as
  5122 "assms" fact in the proof context.  This is more appropriate than the
  5123 (historical) "prems", which refers to all assumptions of the current
  5124 context, including those from the target locale, proof body etc.
  5125 
  5126 * Isar: 'print_statement' prints theorems from the current theory or
  5127 proof context in long statement form, according to the syntax of a
  5128 top-level lemma.
  5129 
  5130 * Isar: 'obtain' takes an optional case name for the local context
  5131 introduction rule (default "that").
  5132 
  5133 * Isar: removed obsolete 'concl is' patterns.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5134 explicit (is "_ ==> ?foo") in the rare cases where this still happens
  5135 to occur.
  5136 
  5137 * Pure: syntax "CONST name" produces a fully internalized constant
  5138 according to the current context.  This is particularly useful for
  5139 syntax translations that should refer to internal constant
  5140 representations independently of name spaces.
  5141 
  5142 * Pure: syntax constant for foo (binder "FOO ") is called "foo_binder"
  5143 instead of "FOO ". This allows multiple binder declarations to coexist
  5144 in the same context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5145 
  5146 * Isar/locales: 'notation' provides a robust interface to the 'syntax'
  5147 primitive that also works in a locale context (both for constants and
  5148 fixed variables). Type declaration and internal syntactic representation
  5149 of given constants retrieved from the context. Likewise, the
  5150 'no_notation' command allows to remove given syntax annotations from the
  5151 current context.
  5152 
  5153 * Isar/locales: new derived specification elements 'axiomatization',
  5154 'definition', 'abbreviation', which support type-inference, admit
  5155 object-level specifications (equality, equivalence).  See also the
  5156 isar-ref manual.  Examples:
  5157 
  5158   axiomatization
  5159     eq  (infix "===" 50) where
  5160     eq_refl: "x === x" and eq_subst: "x === y ==> P x ==> P y"
  5161 
  5162   definition "f x y = x + y + 1"
  5163   definition g where "g x = f x x"
  5164 
  5165   abbreviation
  5166     neq  (infix "=!=" 50) where
  5167     "x =!= y == ~ (x === y)"
  5168 
  5169 These specifications may be also used in a locale context.  Then the
  5170 constants being introduced depend on certain fixed parameters, and the
  5171 constant name is qualified by the locale base name.  An internal
  5172 abbreviation takes care for convenient input and output, making the
  5173 parameters implicit and using the original short name.  See also
  5174 src/HOL/ex/Abstract_NAT.thy for an example of deriving polymorphic
  5175 entities from a monomorphic theory.
  5176 
  5177 Presently, abbreviations are only available 'in' a target locale, but
  5178 not inherited by general import expressions.  Also note that
  5179 'abbreviation' may be used as a type-safe replacement for 'syntax' +
  5180 'translations' in common applications.  The "no_abbrevs" print mode
  5181 prevents folding of abbreviations in term output.
  5182 
  5183 Concrete syntax is attached to specified constants in internal form,
  5184 independently of name spaces.  The parse tree representation is
  5185 slightly different -- use 'notation' instead of raw 'syntax', and
  5186 'translations' with explicit "CONST" markup to accommodate this.
  5187 
  5188 * Pure/Isar: unified syntax for new-style specification mechanisms
  5189 (e.g.  'definition', 'abbreviation', or 'inductive' in HOL) admits
  5190 full type inference and dummy patterns ("_").  For example:
  5191 
  5192   definition "K x _ = x"
  5193 
  5194   inductive conj for A B
  5195   where "A ==> B ==> conj A B"
  5196 
  5197 * Pure: command 'print_abbrevs' prints all constant abbreviations of
  5198 the current context.  Print mode "no_abbrevs" prevents inversion of
  5199 abbreviations on output.
  5200 
  5201 * Isar/locales: improved parameter handling: use of locales "var" and
  5202 "struct" no longer necessary; - parameter renamings are no longer
  5203 required to be injective.  For example, this allows to define
  5204 endomorphisms as locale endom = homom mult mult h.
  5205 
  5206 * Isar/locales: changed the way locales with predicates are defined.
  5207 Instead of accumulating the specification, the imported expression is
  5208 now an interpretation.  INCOMPATIBILITY: different normal form of
  5209 locale expressions.  In particular, in interpretations of locales with
  5210 predicates, goals repesenting already interpreted fragments are not
  5211 removed automatically.  Use methods `intro_locales' and
  5212 `unfold_locales'; see below.
  5213 
  5214 * Isar/locales: new methods `intro_locales' and `unfold_locales'
  5215 provide backward reasoning on locales predicates.  The methods are
  5216 aware of interpretations and discharge corresponding goals.
  5217 `intro_locales' is less aggressive then `unfold_locales' and does not
  5218 unfold predicates to assumptions.
  5219 
  5220 * Isar/locales: the order in which locale fragments are accumulated
  5221 has changed.  This enables to override declarations from fragments due
  5222 to interpretations -- for example, unwanted simp rules.
  5223 
  5224 * Isar/locales: interpretation in theories and proof contexts has been
  5225 extended.  One may now specify (and prove) equations, which are
  5226 unfolded in interpreted theorems.  This is useful for replacing
  5227 defined concepts (constants depending on locale parameters) by
  5228 concepts already existing in the target context.  Example:
  5229 
  5230   interpretation partial_order ["op <= :: [int, int] => bool"]
  5231     where "partial_order.less (op <=) (x::int) y = (x < y)"
  5232 
  5233 Typically, the constant `partial_order.less' is created by a
  5234 definition specification element in the context of locale
  5235 partial_order.
  5236 
  5237 * Method "induct": improved internal context management to support
  5238 local fixes and defines on-the-fly. Thus explicit meta-level
  5239 connectives !!  and ==> are rarely required anymore in inductive goals
  5240 (using object-logic connectives for this purpose has been long
  5241 obsolete anyway). Common proof patterns are explained in
  5242 src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, see also
  5243 src/HOL/Isar_examples/Puzzle.thy and src/HOL/Lambda for realistic
  5244 examples.
  5245 
  5246 * Method "induct": improved handling of simultaneous goals. Instead of
  5247 introducing object-level conjunction, the statement is now split into
  5248 several conclusions, while the corresponding symbolic cases are nested
  5249 accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY, proofs need to be structured explicitly,
  5250 see src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, for example.
  5251 
  5252 * Method "induct": mutual induction rules are now specified as a list
  5253 of rule sharing the same induction cases. HOL packages usually provide
  5254 foo_bar.inducts for mutually defined items foo and bar (e.g. inductive
  5255 predicates/sets or datatypes). INCOMPATIBILITY, users need to specify
  5256 mutual induction rules differently, i.e. like this:
  5257 
  5258   (induct rule: foo_bar.inducts)
  5259   (induct set: foo bar)
  5260   (induct pred: foo bar)
  5261   (induct type: foo bar)
  5262 
  5263 The ML function ProjectRule.projections turns old-style rules into the
  5264 new format.
  5265 
  5266 * Method "coinduct": dual of induction, see
  5267 src/HOL/Library/Coinductive_List.thy for various examples.
  5268 
  5269 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": the ``(open)'' option is
  5270 considered a legacy feature.
  5271 
  5272 * Attribute "symmetric" produces result with standardized schematic
  5273 variables (index 0).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5274 
  5275 * Simplifier: by default the simplifier trace only shows top level
  5276 rewrites now. That is, trace_simp_depth_limit is set to 1 by
  5277 default. Thus there is less danger of being flooded by the trace. The
  5278 trace indicates where parts have been suppressed.
  5279   
  5280 * Provers/classical: removed obsolete classical version of elim_format
  5281 attribute; classical elim/dest rules are now treated uniformly when
  5282 manipulating the claset.
  5283 
  5284 * Provers/classical: stricter checks to ensure that supplied intro,
  5285 dest and elim rules are well-formed; dest and elim rules must have at
  5286 least one premise.
  5287 
  5288 * Provers/classical: attributes dest/elim/intro take an optional
  5289 weight argument for the rule (just as the Pure versions).  Weights are
  5290 ignored by automated tools, but determine the search order of single
  5291 rule steps.
  5292 
  5293 * Syntax: input syntax now supports dummy variable binding "%_. b",
  5294 where the body does not mention the bound variable.  Note that dummy
  5295 patterns implicitly depend on their context of bounds, which makes
  5296 "{_. _}" match any set comprehension as expected.  Potential
  5297 INCOMPATIBILITY -- parse translations need to cope with syntactic
  5298 constant "_idtdummy" in the binding position.
  5299 
  5300 * Syntax: removed obsolete syntactic constant "_K" and its associated
  5301 parse translation.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- use dummy abstraction instead,
  5302 for example "A -> B" => "Pi A (%_. B)".
  5303 
  5304 * Pure: 'class_deps' command visualizes the subclass relation, using
  5305 the graph browser tool.
  5306 
  5307 * Pure: 'print_theory' now suppresses certain internal declarations by
  5308 default; use '!' option for full details.
  5309 
  5310 
  5311 *** HOL ***
  5312 
  5313 * Method "metis" proves goals by applying the Metis general-purpose
  5314 resolution prover (see also http://gilith.com/software/metis/).
  5315 Examples are in the directory MetisExamples.  WARNING: the
  5316 Isabelle/HOL-Metis integration does not yet work properly with
  5317 multi-threading.
  5318   
  5319 * Command 'sledgehammer' invokes external automatic theorem provers as
  5320 background processes.  It generates calls to the "metis" method if
  5321 successful. These can be pasted into the proof.  Users do not have to
  5322 wait for the automatic provers to return.  WARNING: does not really
  5323 work with multi-threading.
  5324 
  5325 * New "auto_quickcheck" feature tests outermost goal statements for
  5326 potential counter-examples.  Controlled by ML references
  5327 auto_quickcheck (default true) and auto_quickcheck_time_limit (default
  5328 5000 milliseconds).  Fails silently if statements is outside of
  5329 executable fragment, or any other codgenerator problem occurs.
  5330 
  5331 * New constant "undefined" with axiom "undefined x = undefined".
  5332 
  5333 * Added class "HOL.eq", allowing for code generation with polymorphic
  5334 equality.
  5335 
  5336 * Some renaming of class constants due to canonical name prefixing in
  5337 the new 'class' package:
  5338 
  5339     HOL.abs ~> HOL.abs_class.abs
  5340     HOL.divide ~> HOL.divide_class.divide
  5341     0 ~> HOL.zero_class.zero
  5342     1 ~> HOL.one_class.one

  5358     Divides.op dvd ~> Divides.div_class.dvd
  5359 
  5360 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Adaptions may be required in the following cases:
  5361 
  5362 a) User-defined constants using any of the names "plus", "minus",
  5363 "times", "less" or "less_eq". The standard syntax translations for
  5364 "+", "-" and "*" may go wrong.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific
  5365 names.
  5366 
  5367 b) Variables named "plus", "minus", "times", "less", "less_eq"
  5368 INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific names.
  5369 
  5370 c) Permutative equations (e.g. "a + b = b + a")
  5371 Since the change of names also changes the order of terms, permutative
  5372 rewrite rules may get applied in a different order. Experience shows
  5373 that this is rarely the case (only two adaptions in the whole Isabelle
  5374 distribution).  INCOMPATIBILITY: rewrite proofs
  5375 
  5376 d) ML code directly refering to constant names
  5377 This in general only affects hand-written proof tactics, simprocs and
  5378 so on.  INCOMPATIBILITY: grep your sourcecode and replace names.
  5379 Consider using @{const_name} antiquotation.
  5380 
  5381 * New class "default" with associated constant "default".
  5382 
  5383 * Function "sgn" is now overloaded and available on int, real, complex
  5384 (and other numeric types), using class "sgn".  Two possible defs of
  5385 sgn are given as equational assumptions in the classes sgn_if and
  5386 sgn_div_norm; ordered_idom now also inherits from sgn_if.
  5387 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5388 
  5389 * Locale "partial_order" now unified with class "order" (cf. theory
  5390 Orderings), added parameter "less".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5391 
  5392 * Renamings in classes "order" and "linorder": facts "refl", "trans" and
  5393 "cases" to "order_refl", "order_trans" and "linorder_cases", to avoid
  5394 clashes with HOL "refl" and "trans".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5395 
  5396 * Classes "order" and "linorder": potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to
  5397 changed order of proof goals in instance proofs.
  5398 
  5399 * The transitivity reasoner for partial and linear orders is set up
  5400 for classes "order" and "linorder".  Instances of the reasoner are available
  5401 in all contexts importing or interpreting the corresponding locales.
  5402 Method "order" invokes the reasoner separately; the reasoner
  5403 is also integrated with the Simplifier as a solver.  Diagnostic
  5404 command 'print_orders' shows the available instances of the reasoner
  5405 in the current context.
  5406 
  5407 * Localized monotonicity predicate in theory "Orderings"; integrated
  5408 lemmas max_of_mono and min_of_mono with this predicate.
  5409 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5410 
  5411 * Formulation of theorem "dense" changed slightly due to integration
  5412 with new class dense_linear_order.
  5413 
  5414 * Uniform lattice theory development in HOL.
  5415 
  5416     constants "meet" and "join" now named "inf" and "sup"
  5417     constant "Meet" now named "Inf"
  5418 
  5419     classes "meet_semilorder" and "join_semilorder" now named
  5420       "lower_semilattice" and "upper_semilattice"
  5421     class "lorder" now named "lattice"
  5422     class "comp_lat" now named "complete_lattice"
  5423 
  5424     Instantiation of lattice classes allows explicit definitions
  5425     for "inf" and "sup" operations (or "Inf" and "Sup" for complete lattices).

  5529 
  5530 * Added syntactic class "size"; overloaded constant "size" now has
  5531 type "'a::size ==> bool"
  5532 
  5533 * Internal reorganisation of `size' of datatypes: size theorems
  5534 "foo.size" are no longer subsumed by "foo.simps" (but are still
  5535 simplification rules by default!); theorems "prod.size" now named
  5536 "*.size".
  5537 
  5538 * Class "div" now inherits from class "times" rather than "type".
  5539 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5540 
  5541 * HOL/Finite_Set: "name-space" locales Lattice, Distrib_lattice,
  5542 Linorder etc.  have disappeared; operations defined in terms of
  5543 fold_set now are named Inf_fin, Sup_fin.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5544 
  5545 * HOL/Nat: neq0_conv no longer declared as iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5546 
  5547 * HOL-Word: New extensive library and type for generic, fixed size
  5548 machine words, with arithmetic, bit-wise, shifting and rotating
  5549 operations, reflection into int, nat, and bool lists, automation for
  5550 linear arithmetic (by automatic reflection into nat or int), including
  5551 lemmas on overflow and monotonicity.  Instantiated to all appropriate
  5552 arithmetic type classes, supporting automatic simplification of
  5553 numerals on all operations.
  5554 
  5555 * Library/Boolean_Algebra: locales for abstract boolean algebras.
  5556 
  5557 * Library/Numeral_Type: numbers as types, e.g. TYPE(32).
  5558 
  5559 * Code generator library theories:
  5560   - Code_Integer represents HOL integers by big integer literals in target
  5561     languages.
  5562   - Code_Char represents HOL characters by character literals in target
  5563     languages.
  5564   - Code_Char_chr like Code_Char, but also offers treatment of character
  5565     codes; includes Code_Integer.
  5566   - Executable_Set allows to generate code for finite sets using lists.
  5567   - Executable_Rat implements rational numbers as triples (sign, enumerator,
  5568     denominator).
  5569   - Executable_Real implements a subset of real numbers, namly those
  5570     representable by rational numbers.
  5571   - Efficient_Nat implements natural numbers by integers, which in general will
  5572     result in higher efficency; pattern matching with 0/Suc is eliminated;
  5573     includes Code_Integer.
  5574   - Code_Index provides an additional datatype index which is mapped to
  5575     target-language built-in integers.
  5576   - Code_Message provides an additional datatype message_string which is isomorphic to
  5577     strings; messages are mapped to target-language strings.
  5578 
  5579 * New package for inductive predicates
  5580 
  5581   An n-ary predicate p with m parameters z_1, ..., z_m can now be defined via
  5582 
  5583     inductive
  5584       p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  5585       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  5586     where
  5587       rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  5588     | ...
  5589 
  5590   with full support for type-inference, rather than
  5591 
  5592     consts s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  5593 
  5594     abbreviation p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  5595     where "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  5596 
  5597     inductive "s z_1 ... z_m"
  5598     intros
  5599       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  5600       ...
  5601 
  5602   For backward compatibility, there is a wrapper allowing inductive
  5603   sets to be defined with the new package via
  5604 
  5605     inductive_set
  5606       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  5607       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  5608     where
  5609       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  5610     | ...
  5611 
  5612   or
  5613 
  5614     inductive_set
  5615       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  5616       and p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  5617       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  5618     where
  5619       "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  5620     | rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  5621     | ...
  5622 
  5623   if the additional syntax "p ..." is required.
  5624 
  5625   Numerous examples can be found in the subdirectories src/HOL/Auth,
  5626   src/HOL/Bali, src/HOL/Induct, and src/HOL/MicroJava.
  5627 
  5628   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  5629 
  5630   - Since declaration and definition of inductive sets or predicates
  5631     is no longer separated, abbreviations involving the newly
  5632     introduced sets or predicates must be specified together with the
  5633     introduction rules after the 'where' keyword (see above), rather
  5634     than before the actual inductive definition.
  5635 
  5636   - The variables in induction and elimination rules are now
  5637     quantified in the order of their occurrence in the introduction
  5638     rules, rather than in alphabetical order. Since this may break
  5639     some proofs, these proofs either have to be repaired, e.g. by
  5640     reordering the variables a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i} in Isar 'case'
  5641     statements of the form
  5642 
  5643       case (rule_i a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i})
  5644 
  5645     or the old order of quantification has to be restored by explicitly adding
  5646     meta-level quantifiers in the introduction rules, i.e.
  5647 
  5648       | rule_i: "!!a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i}. ... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_i_1 ... t_i_n"
  5649 
  5650   - The format of the elimination rules is now
  5651 
  5652       p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n ==>
  5653         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  5654         ==> ... ==> P
  5655 
  5656     for predicates and
  5657 
  5658       (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  5659         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  5660         ==> ... ==> P
  5661 
  5662     for sets rather than
  5663 
  5664       x : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  5665         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x = (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) ==> ... ==> P)
  5666         ==> ... ==> P
  5667 
  5668     This may require terms in goals to be expanded to n-tuples
  5669     (e.g. using case_tac or simplification with the split_paired_all
  5670     rule) before the above elimination rule is applicable.
  5671 
  5672   - The elimination or case analysis rules for (mutually) inductive
  5673     sets or predicates are now called "p_1.cases" ... "p_k.cases". The
  5674     list of rules "p_1_..._p_k.elims" is no longer available.
  5675 
  5676 * New package "function"/"fun" for general recursive functions,
  5677 supporting mutual and nested recursion, definitions in local contexts,
  5678 more general pattern matching and partiality. See HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy
  5679 for small examples, and the separate tutorial on the function
  5680 package. The old recdef "package" is still available as before, but
  5681 users are encouraged to use the new package.
  5682 
  5683 * Method "lexicographic_order" automatically synthesizes termination
  5684 relations as lexicographic combinations of size measures. 
  5685 
  5686 * Case-expressions allow arbitrary constructor-patterns (including
  5687 "_") and take their order into account, like in functional
  5688 programming.  Internally, this is translated into nested
  5689 case-expressions; missing cases are added and mapped to the predefined
  5690 constant "undefined". In complicated cases printing may no longer show
  5691 the original input but the internal form. Lambda-abstractions allow
  5692 the same form of pattern matching: "% pat1 => e1 | ..." is an
  5693 abbreviation for "%x. case x of pat1 => e1 | ..." where x is a new
  5694 variable.
  5695 
  5696 * IntDef: The constant "int :: nat => int" has been removed; now "int"
  5697 is an abbreviation for "of_nat :: nat => int". The simplification
  5698 rules for "of_nat" have been changed to work like "int" did
  5699 previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5700   - "of_nat (Suc m)" simplifies to "1 + of_nat m" instead of "of_nat m + 1"
  5701   - of_nat_diff and of_nat_mult are no longer default simp rules
  5702 
  5703 * Method "algebra" solves polynomial equations over (semi)rings using
  5704 Groebner bases. The (semi)ring structure is defined by locales and the
  5705 tool setup depends on that generic context. Installing the method for
  5706 a specific type involves instantiating the locale and possibly adding
  5707 declarations for computation on the coefficients.  The method is
  5708 already instantiated for natural numbers and for the axiomatic class
  5709 of idoms with numerals.  See also the paper by Chaieb and Wenzel at
  5710 CALCULEMUS 2007 for the general principles underlying this
  5711 architecture of context-aware proof-tools.
  5712 
  5713 * Method "ferrack" implements quantifier elimination over
  5714 special-purpose dense linear orders using locales (analogous to
  5715 "algebra"). The method is already installed for class
  5716 {ordered_field,recpower,number_ring} which subsumes real, hyperreal,
  5717 rat, etc.
  5718 
  5719 * Former constant "List.op @" now named "List.append".  Use ML
  5720 antiquotations @{const_name List.append} or @{term " ... @ ... "} to
  5721 circumvent possible incompatibilities when working on ML level.
  5722 
  5723 * primrec: missing cases mapped to "undefined" instead of "arbitrary".
  5724 
  5725 * New function listsum :: 'a list => 'a for arbitrary monoids.
  5726 Special syntax: "SUM x <- xs. f x" (and latex variants)
  5727 
  5728 * New syntax for Haskell-like list comprehension (input only), eg.
  5729 [(x,y). x <- xs, y <- ys, x ~= y], see also src/HOL/List.thy.
  5730 
  5731 * The special syntax for function "filter" has changed from [x :
  5732 xs. P] to [x <- xs. P] to avoid an ambiguity caused by list
  5733 comprehension syntax, and for uniformity.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5734 
  5735 * [a..b] is now defined for arbitrary linear orders.  It used to be
  5736 defined on nat only, as an abbreviation for [a..<Suc b]
  5737 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5738 
  5739 * Renamed lemma "set_take_whileD"  to "set_takeWhileD".
  5740 
  5741 * New functions "sorted" and "sort" in src/HOL/List.thy.
  5742 
  5743 * New lemma collection field_simps (an extension of ring_simps) for
  5744 manipulating (in)equations involving division. Multiplies with all
  5745 denominators that can be proved to be non-zero (in equations) or
  5746 positive/negative (in inequations).
  5747 
  5748 * Lemma collections ring_eq_simps, group_eq_simps and ring_distrib
  5749 have been improved and renamed to ring_simps, group_simps and
  5750 ring_distribs.  Removed lemmas field_xyz in theory Ring_and_Field
  5751 because they were subsumed by lemmas xyz.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5752 
  5753 * Theory Library/Commutative_Ring: switched from recdef to function
  5754 package; constants add, mul, pow now curried.  Infix syntax for
  5755 algebraic operations.
  5756 
  5757 * Dropped redundant lemma def_imp_eq in favor of meta_eq_to_obj_eq.
  5758 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5759 
  5760 * Dropped redundant lemma if_def2 in favor of if_bool_eq_conj.
  5761 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5762 
  5763 * HOL/records: generalised field-update to take a function on the
  5764 field rather than the new value: r(|A := x|) is translated to A_update
  5765 (K x) r The K-combinator that is internally used is called K_record.
  5766 INCOMPATIBILITY: Usage of the plain update functions has to be
  5767 adapted.
  5768  
  5769 * Class "semiring_0" now contains annihilation axioms x * 0 = 0 and 0
  5770 * x = 0, which are required for a semiring.  Richer structures do not
  5771 inherit from semiring_0 anymore, because this property is a theorem
  5772 there, not an axiom.  INCOMPATIBILITY: In instances of semiring_0,
  5773 there is more to prove, but this is mostly trivial.
  5774 
  5775 * Class "recpower" is generalized to arbitrary monoids, not just
  5776 commutative semirings.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to incorporate
  5777 commutativity or semiring properties additionally.
  5778 
  5779 * Constant "List.list_all2" in List.thy now uses authentic syntax.
  5780 INCOMPATIBILITY: translations containing list_all2 may go wrong,
  5781 better use 'abbreviation'.
  5782 
  5783 * Renamed constant "List.op mem" to "List.member".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5784 
  5785 * Numeral syntax: type 'bin' which was a mere type copy of 'int' has
  5786 been abandoned in favour of plain 'int'.  INCOMPATIBILITY --
  5787 significant changes for setting up numeral syntax for types:
  5788   - New constants Numeral.pred and Numeral.succ instead
  5789       of former Numeral.bin_pred and Numeral.bin_succ.
  5790   - Use integer operations instead of bin_add, bin_mult and so on.
  5791   - Numeral simplification theorems named Numeral.numeral_simps instead of Bin_simps.
  5792   - ML structure Bin_Simprocs now named Int_Numeral_Base_Simprocs.
  5793 
  5794 See src/HOL/Integ/IntArith.thy for an example setup.
  5795 
  5796 * Command 'normal_form' computes the normal form of a term that may
  5797 contain free variables.  For example ``normal_form "rev [a, b, c]"''
  5798 produces ``[b, c, a]'' (without proof).  This command is suitable for
  5799 heavy-duty computations because the functions are compiled to ML
  5800 first.  Correspondingly, a method "normalization" is provided.  See
  5801 further src/HOL/ex/NormalForm.thy and src/Tools/nbe.ML.
  5802 
  5803 * Alternative iff syntax "A <-> B" for equality on bool (with priority
  5804 25 like -->); output depends on the "iff" print_mode, the default is
  5805 "A = B" (with priority 50).
  5806 
  5807 * Relations less (<) and less_eq (<=) are also available on type bool.
  5808 Modified syntax to disallow nesting without explicit parentheses,
  5809 e.g. "(x < y) < z" or "x < (y < z)", but NOT "x < y < z".  Potential
  5810 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5811 
  5812 * "LEAST x:A. P" expands to "LEAST x. x:A & P" (input only).
  5813 
  5814 * Relation composition operator "op O" now has precedence 75 and binds
  5815 stronger than union and intersection. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5816 
  5817 * The old set interval syntax "{m..n(}" (and relatives) has been
  5818 removed.  Use "{m..<n}" (and relatives) instead.
  5819 
  5820 * In the context of the assumption "~(s = t)" the Simplifier rewrites
  5821 "t = s" to False (by simproc "neq").  INCOMPATIBILITY, consider using
  5822 ``declare [[simproc del: neq]]''.
  5823 
  5824 * Simplifier: "m dvd n" where m and n are numbers is evaluated to
  5825 True/False.
  5826 
  5827 * Theorem Cons_eq_map_conv no longer declared as "simp".
  5828 
  5829 * Theorem setsum_mult renamed to setsum_right_distrib.
  5830 
  5831 * Prefer ex1I over ex_ex1I in single-step reasoning, e.g. by the
  5832 ``rule'' method.
  5833 
  5834 * Reimplemented methods "sat" and "satx", with several improvements:
  5835 goals no longer need to be stated as "<prems> ==> False", equivalences
  5836 (i.e. "=" on type bool) are handled, variable names of the form
  5837 "lit_<n>" are no longer reserved, significant speedup.
  5838 
  5839 * Methods "sat" and "satx" can now replay MiniSat proof traces.
  5840 zChaff is still supported as well.
  5841 
  5842 * 'inductive' and 'datatype': provide projections of mutual rules,
  5843 bundled as foo_bar.inducts;
  5844 
  5845 * Library: moved theories Parity, GCD, Binomial, Infinite_Set to
  5846 Library.
  5847 
  5848 * Library: moved theory Accessible_Part to main HOL.
  5849 
  5850 * Library: added theory Coinductive_List of potentially infinite lists
  5851 as greatest fixed-point.
  5852 
  5853 * Library: added theory AssocList which implements (finite) maps as
  5854 association lists.
  5855 
  5856 * Method "evaluation" solves goals (i.e. a boolean expression)
  5857 efficiently by compiling it to ML.  The goal is "proved" (via an
  5858 oracle) if it evaluates to True.
  5859 
  5860 * Linear arithmetic now splits certain operators (e.g. min, max, abs)
  5861 also when invoked by the simplifier.  This results in the Simplifier
  5862 being more powerful on arithmetic goals.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5863 Configuration option fast_arith_split_limit=0 recovers the old
  5864 behavior.
  5865 
  5866 * Support for hex (0x20) and binary (0b1001) numerals.
  5867 
  5868 * New method: reify eqs (t), where eqs are equations for an
  5869 interpretation I :: 'a list => 'b => 'c and t::'c is an optional
  5870 parameter, computes a term s::'b and a list xs::'a list and proves the
  5871 theorem I xs s = t. This is also known as reification or quoting. The
  5872 resulting theorem is applied to the subgoal to substitute t with I xs
  5873 s.  If t is omitted, the subgoal itself is reified.
  5874 
  5875 * New method: reflection corr_thm eqs (t). The parameters eqs and (t)
  5876 are as explained above. corr_thm is a theorem for I vs (f t) = I vs t,
  5877 where f is supposed to be a computable function (in the sense of code
  5878 generattion). The method uses reify to compute s and xs as above then
  5879 applies corr_thm and uses normalization by evaluation to "prove" f s =
  5880 r and finally gets the theorem t = r, which is again applied to the
  5881 subgoal. An Example is available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy.
  5882 
  5883 * Reflection: Automatic reification now handels binding, an example is
  5884 available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy
  5885 
  5886 * HOL-Statespace: ``State Spaces: The Locale Way'' introduces a
  5887 command 'statespace' that is similar to 'record', but introduces an
  5888 abstract specification based on the locale infrastructure instead of
  5889 HOL types.  This leads to extra flexibility in composing state spaces,
  5890 in particular multiple inheritance and renaming of components.
  5891 
  5892 
  5893 *** HOL-Complex ***
  5894 
  5895 * Hyperreal: Functions root and sqrt are now defined on negative real
  5896 inputs so that root n (- x) = - root n x and sqrt (- x) = - sqrt x.
  5897 Nonnegativity side conditions have been removed from many lemmas, so
  5898 that more subgoals may now be solved by simplification; potential
  5899 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5900 
  5901 * Real: new type classes formalize real normed vector spaces and
  5902 algebras, using new overloaded constants scaleR :: real => 'a => 'a
  5903 and norm :: 'a => real.
  5904 
  5905 * Real: constant of_real :: real => 'a::real_algebra_1 injects from
  5906 reals into other types. The overloaded constant Reals :: 'a set is now
  5907 defined as range of_real; potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5908 
  5909 * Real: proper support for ML code generation, including 'quickcheck'.
  5910 Reals are implemented as arbitrary precision rationals.
  5911 
  5912 * Hyperreal: Several constants that previously worked only for the
  5913 reals have been generalized, so they now work over arbitrary vector
  5914 spaces. Type annotations may need to be added in some cases; potential
  5915 INCOMPATIBILITY.

  5931   exp            :: 'a::{recpower,real_normed_field,banach} => 'a
  5932 
  5933 * Complex: Some complex-specific constants are now abbreviations for
  5934 overloaded ones: complex_of_real = of_real, cmod = norm, hcmod =
  5935 hnorm.  Other constants have been entirely removed in favor of the
  5936 polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  5937

  5946   (ns)deriv     <-- (ns)cderiv
  5947 
  5948 
  5949 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  5950 
  5951 * Formalisation of ideals and the quotient construction over rings.
  5952 
  5953 * Order and lattice theory no longer based on records.
  5954 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5955 
  5956 * Renamed lemmas least_carrier -> least_closed and greatest_carrier ->
  5957 greatest_closed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5958 
  5959 * Method algebra is now set up via an attribute.  For examples see
  5960 Ring.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY: the method is now weaker on combinations
  5961 of algebraic structures.
  5962 
  5963 * Renamed theory CRing to Ring.
  5964 
  5965 
  5966 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  5967 
  5968 * Substantial, yet incomplete support for nominal datatypes (binding
  5969 structures) based on HOL-Nominal logic.  See src/HOL/Nominal and
  5970 src/HOL/Nominal/Examples.  Prospective users should consult
  5971 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/nominal/
  5972 
  5973 
  5974 *** ML ***
  5975 
  5976 * ML basics: just one true type int, which coincides with IntInf.int
  5977 (even on SML/NJ).
  5978 
  5979 * ML within Isar: antiquotations allow to embed statically-checked
  5980 formal entities in the source, referring to the context available at
  5981 compile-time.  For example:
  5982 
  5983 ML {* @{sort "{zero,one}"} *}
  5984 ML {* @{typ "'a => 'b"} *}
  5985 ML {* @{term "%x. x"} *}
  5986 ML {* @{prop "x == y"} *}
  5987 ML {* @{ctyp "'a => 'b"} *}
  5988 ML {* @{cterm "%x. x"} *}
  5989 ML {* @{cprop "x == y"} *}
  5990 ML {* @{thm asm_rl} *}
  5991 ML {* @{thms asm_rl} *}
  5992 ML {* @{type_name c} *}
  5993 ML {* @{type_syntax c} *}
  5994 ML {* @{const_name c} *}
  5995 ML {* @{const_syntax c} *}
  5996 ML {* @{context} *}
  5997 ML {* @{theory} *}
  5998 ML {* @{theory Pure} *}
  5999 ML {* @{theory_ref} *}
  6000 ML {* @{theory_ref Pure} *}
  6001 ML {* @{simpset} *}
  6002 ML {* @{claset} *}
  6003 ML {* @{clasimpset} *}
  6004 
  6005 The same works for sources being ``used'' within an Isar context.
  6006 
  6007 * ML in Isar: improved error reporting; extra verbosity with
  6008 ML_Context.trace enabled.
  6009 
  6010 * Pure/General/table.ML: the join operations now works via exceptions
  6011 DUP/SAME instead of type option. This is simpler in simple cases, and
  6012 admits slightly more efficient complex applications.
  6013 
  6014 * Pure: 'advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) now
  6015 use Context.generic instead of just theory.
  6016 
  6017 * Pure: datatype Context.generic joins theory/Proof.context and
  6018 provides some facilities for code that works in either kind of
  6019 context, notably GenericDataFun for uniform theory and proof data.
  6020 
  6021 * Pure: simplified internal attribute type, which is now always
  6022 Context.generic * thm -> Context.generic * thm. Global (theory) vs.
  6023 local (Proof.context) attributes have been discontinued, while
  6024 minimizing code duplication. Thm.rule_attribute and
  6025 Thm.declaration_attribute build canonical attributes; see also structure
  6026 Context for further operations on Context.generic, notably
  6027 GenericDataFun. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt attribute type
  6028 declarations and definitions.
  6029 
  6030 * Context data interfaces (Theory/Proof/GenericDataFun): removed
  6031 name/print, uninitialized data defaults to ad-hoc copy of empty value,
  6032 init only required for impure data. INCOMPATIBILITY: empty really need
  6033 to be empty (no dependencies on theory content!)
  6034 
  6035 * Pure/kernel: consts certification ignores sort constraints given in
  6036 signature declarations. (This information is not relevant to the
  6037 logic, but only for type inference.) SIGNIFICANT INTERNAL CHANGE,
  6038 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6039 
  6040 * Pure: axiomatic type classes are now purely definitional, with
  6041 explicit proofs of class axioms and super class relations performed
  6042 internally. See Pure/axclass.ML for the main internal interfaces --
  6043 notably AxClass.define_class supercedes AxClass.add_axclass, and
  6044 AxClass.axiomatize_class/classrel/arity supersede
  6045 Sign.add_classes/classrel/arities.
  6046 
  6047 * Pure/Isar: Args/Attrib parsers operate on Context.generic --
  6048 global/local versions on theory vs. Proof.context have been
  6049 discontinued; Attrib.syntax and Method.syntax have been adapted
  6050 accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt parser expressions for
  6051 attributes, methods, etc.
  6052 
  6053 * Pure: several functions of signature "... -> theory -> theory * ..."
  6054 have been reoriented to "... -> theory -> ... * theory" in order to
  6055 allow natural usage in combination with the ||>, ||>>, |-> and
  6056 fold_map combinators.
  6057 
  6058 * Pure: official theorem names (closed derivations) and additional
  6059 comments (tags) are now strictly separate.  Name hints -- which are
  6060 maintained as tags -- may be attached any time without affecting the
  6061 derivation.
  6062 
  6063 * Pure: primitive rule lift_rule now takes goal cterm instead of an
  6064 actual goal state (thm).  Use Thm.lift_rule (Thm.cprem_of st i) to
  6065 achieve the old behaviour.
  6066 
  6067 * Pure: the "Goal" constant is now called "prop", supporting a
  6068 slightly more general idea of ``protecting'' meta-level rule
  6069 statements.
  6070 
  6071 * Pure: Logic.(un)varify only works in a global context, which is now
  6072 enforced instead of silently assumed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use
  6073 Logic.legacy_(un)varify as temporary workaround.
  6074 
  6075 * Pure: structure Name provides scalable operations for generating
  6076 internal variable names, notably Name.variants etc.  This replaces
  6077 some popular functions from term.ML:
  6078 
  6079   Term.variant		->  Name.variant
  6080   Term.variantlist	->  Name.variant_list
  6081   Term.invent_names	->  Name.invent_list
  6082 
  6083 Note that low-level renaming rarely occurs in new code -- operations
  6084 from structure Variable are used instead (see below).
  6085 
  6086 * Pure: structure Variable provides fundamental operations for proper
  6087 treatment of fixed/schematic variables in a context.  For example,
  6088 Variable.import introduces fixes for schematics of given facts and
  6089 Variable.export reverses the effect (up to renaming) -- this replaces
  6090 various freeze_thaw operations.
  6091 
  6092 * Pure: structure Goal provides simple interfaces for
  6093 init/conclude/finish and tactical prove operations (replacing former
  6094 Tactic.prove).  Goal.prove is the canonical way to prove results
  6095 within a given context; Goal.prove_global is a degraded version for
  6096 theory level goals, including a global Drule.standard.  Note that
  6097 OldGoals.prove_goalw_cterm has long been obsolete, since it is
  6098 ill-behaved in a local proof context (e.g. with local fixes/assumes or
  6099 in a locale context).
  6100 
  6101 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for parsing (Syntax.parse_term etc.)
  6102 and type checking (Syntax.check_term etc.), with common combinations
  6103 (Syntax.read_term etc.). These supersede former Sign.read_term etc.
  6104 which are considered legacy and await removal.
  6105 
  6106 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for type unchecking
  6107 (Syntax.uncheck_terms etc.) and unparsing (Syntax.unparse_term etc.),
  6108 with common combinations (Syntax.pretty_term, Syntax.string_of_term
  6109 etc.).  Former Sign.pretty_term, Sign.string_of_term etc. are still
  6110 available for convenience, but refer to the very same operations using
  6111 a mere theory instead of a full context.
  6112 
  6113 * Isar: simplified treatment of user-level errors, using exception
  6114 ERROR of string uniformly.  Function error now merely raises ERROR,
  6115 without any side effect on output channels.  The Isar toplevel takes
  6116 care of proper display of ERROR exceptions.  ML code may use plain
  6117 handle/can/try; cat_error may be used to concatenate errors like this:
  6118 
  6119   ... handle ERROR msg => cat_error msg "..."
  6120 
  6121 Toplevel ML code (run directly or through the Isar toplevel) may be
  6122 embedded into the Isar toplevel with exception display/debug like
  6123 this:
  6124 
  6125   Isar.toplevel (fn () => ...)
  6126 
  6127 INCOMPATIBILITY, removed special transform_error facilities, removed
  6128 obsolete variants of user-level exceptions (ERROR_MESSAGE,
  6129 Context.PROOF, ProofContext.CONTEXT, Proof.STATE, ProofHistory.FAIL)
  6130 -- use plain ERROR instead.
  6131 
  6132 * Isar: theory setup now has type (theory -> theory), instead of a
  6133 list.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use #> to compose setup functions.
  6134 
  6135 * Isar: ML toplevel pretty printer for type Proof.context, subject to
  6136 ProofContext.debug/verbose flags.
  6137 
  6138 * Isar: Toplevel.theory_to_proof admits transactions that modify the
  6139 theory before entering a proof state.  Transactions now always see a
  6140 quasi-functional intermediate checkpoint, both in interactive and
  6141 batch mode.
  6142 
  6143 * Isar: simplified interfaces for outer syntax.  Renamed
  6144 OuterSyntax.add_keywords to OuterSyntax.keywords.  Removed
  6145 OuterSyntax.add_parsers -- this functionality is now included in
  6146 OuterSyntax.command etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6147 
  6148 * Simplifier: the simpset of a running simplification process now
  6149 contains a proof context (cf. Simplifier.the_context), which is the
  6150 very context that the initial simpset has been retrieved from (by
  6151 simpset_of/local_simpset_of).  Consequently, all plug-in components
  6152 (solver, looper etc.) may depend on arbitrary proof data.
  6153 
  6154 * Simplifier.inherit_context inherits the proof context (plus the
  6155 local bounds) of the current simplification process; any simproc
  6156 etc. that calls the Simplifier recursively should do this!  Removed
  6157 former Simplifier.inherit_bounds, which is already included here --
  6158 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Tools based on low-level rewriting may even have to
  6159 specify an explicit context using Simplifier.context/theory_context.
  6160 
  6161 * Simplifier/Classical Reasoner: more abstract interfaces
  6162 change_simpset/claset for modifying the simpset/claset reference of a
  6163 theory; raw versions simpset/claset_ref etc. have been discontinued --
  6164 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6165 
  6166 * Provers: more generic wrt. syntax of object-logics, avoid hardwired
  6167 "Trueprop" etc.
  6168 
  6169 
  6170 *** System ***
  6171 
  6172 * settings: the default heap location within ISABELLE_HOME_USER now
  6173 includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER.  This simplifies use of multiple
  6174 Isabelle installations.
  6175 
  6176 * isabelle-process: option -S (secure mode) disables some critical
  6177 operations, notably runtime compilation and evaluation of ML source
  6178 code.
  6179 
  6180 * Basic Isabelle mode for jEdit, see Isabelle/lib/jedit/.
  6181 
  6182 * Support for parallel execution, using native multicore support of
  6183 Poly/ML 5.1.  The theory loader exploits parallelism when processing
  6184 independent theories, according to the given theory header
  6185 specifications. The maximum number of worker threads is specified via
  6186 usedir option -M or the "max-threads" setting in Proof General. A
  6187 speedup factor of 1.5--3.5 can be expected on a 4-core machine, and up
  6188 to 6 on a 8-core machine.  User-code needs to observe certain
  6189 guidelines for thread-safe programming, see appendix A in the Isar
  6190 Implementation manual.
  6191 
  6192 
  6193 
  6194 New in Isabelle2005 (October 2005)
  6195 ----------------------------------
  6196 
  6197 *** General ***
  6198 
  6199 * Theory headers: the new header syntax for Isar theories is
  6200 
  6201   theory <name>
  6202   imports <theory1> ... <theoryN>
  6203   uses <file1> ... <fileM>
  6204   begin
  6205 
  6206 where the 'uses' part is optional.  The previous syntax
  6207 
  6208   theory <name> = <theory1> + ... + <theoryN>:
  6209 
  6210 will disappear in the next release.  Use isatool fixheaders to convert
  6211 existing theory files.  Note that there is no change in ancient
  6212 non-Isar theories now, but these will disappear soon.
  6213 
  6214 * Theory loader: parent theories can now also be referred to via
  6215 relative and absolute paths.
  6216 
  6217 * Command 'find_theorems' searches for a list of criteria instead of a
  6218 list of constants. Known criteria are: intro, elim, dest, name:string,
  6219 simp:term, and any term. Criteria can be preceded by '-' to select
  6220 theorems that do not match. Intro, elim, dest select theorems that
  6221 match the current goal, name:s selects theorems whose fully qualified
  6222 name contain s, and simp:term selects all simplification rules whose
  6223 lhs match term.  Any other term is interpreted as pattern and selects
  6224 all theorems matching the pattern. Available in ProofGeneral under
  6225 'ProofGeneral -> Find Theorems' or C-c C-f.  Example:
  6226 
  6227   C-c C-f (100) "(_::nat) + _ + _" intro -name: "HOL."
  6228 
  6229 prints the last 100 theorems matching the pattern "(_::nat) + _ + _",
  6230 matching the current goal as introduction rule and not having "HOL."
  6231 in their name (i.e. not being defined in theory HOL).
  6232 
  6233 * Command 'thms_containing' has been discontinued in favour of
  6234 'find_theorems'; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6235 
  6236 * Communication with Proof General is now 8bit clean, which means that
  6237 Unicode text in UTF-8 encoding may be used within theory texts (both
  6238 formal and informal parts).  Cf. option -U of the Isabelle Proof
  6239 General interface.  Here are some simple examples (cf. src/HOL/ex):
  6240 
  6241   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Hebrew.html
  6242   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Chinese.html
  6243 
  6244 * Improved efficiency of the Simplifier and, to a lesser degree, the
  6245 Classical Reasoner.  Typical big applications run around 2 times
  6246 faster.
  6247 
  6248 
  6249 *** Document preparation ***
  6250 
  6251 * Commands 'display_drafts' and 'print_drafts' perform simple output
  6252 of raw sources.  Only those symbols that do not require additional
  6253 LaTeX packages (depending on comments in isabellesym.sty) are
  6254 displayed properly, everything else is left verbatim.  isatool display
  6255 and isatool print are used as front ends (these are subject to the
  6256 DVI/PDF_VIEWER and PRINT_COMMAND settings, respectively).
  6257 
  6258 * Command tags control specific markup of certain regions of text,
  6259 notably folding and hiding.  Predefined tags include "theory" (for
  6260 theory begin and end), "proof" for proof commands, and "ML" for
  6261 commands involving ML code; the additional tags "visible" and
  6262 "invisible" are unused by default.  Users may give explicit tag
  6263 specifications in the text, e.g. ''by %invisible (auto)''.  The
  6264 interpretation of tags is determined by the LaTeX job during document
  6265 preparation: see option -V of isatool usedir, or options -n and -t of
  6266 isatool document, or even the LaTeX macros \isakeeptag, \isafoldtag,
  6267 \isadroptag.
  6268 
  6269 Several document versions may be produced at the same time via isatool
  6270 usedir (the generated index.html will link all of them).  Typical
  6271 specifications include ''-V document=theory,proof,ML'' to present
  6272 theory/proof/ML parts faithfully, ''-V outline=/proof,/ML'' to fold
  6273 proof and ML commands, and ''-V mutilated=-theory,-proof,-ML'' to omit
  6274 these parts without any formal replacement text.  The Isabelle site
  6275 default settings produce ''document'' and ''outline'' versions as
  6276 specified above.
  6277 
  6278 * Several new antiquotations:
  6279 
  6280   @{term_type term} prints a term with its type annotated;
  6281 
  6282   @{typeof term} prints the type of a term;
  6283 
  6284   @{const const} is the same as @{term const}, but checks that the
  6285   argument is a known logical constant;
  6286 
  6287   @{term_style style term} and @{thm_style style thm} print a term or
  6288   theorem applying a "style" to it
  6289 
  6290   @{ML text}
  6291 
  6292 Predefined styles are 'lhs' and 'rhs' printing the lhs/rhs of
  6293 definitions, equations, inequations etc., 'concl' printing only the
  6294 conclusion of a meta-logical statement theorem, and 'prem1' .. 'prem19'
  6295 to print the specified premise.  TermStyle.add_style provides an ML
  6296 interface for introducing further styles.  See also the "LaTeX Sugar"
  6297 document practical applications.  The ML antiquotation prints
  6298 type-checked ML expressions verbatim.
  6299 
  6300 * Markup commands 'chapter', 'section', 'subsection', 'subsubsection',
  6301 and 'text' support optional locale specification '(in loc)', which
  6302 specifies the default context for interpreting antiquotations.  For
  6303 example: 'text (in lattice) {* @{thm inf_assoc}*}'.
  6304 
  6305 * Option 'locale=NAME' of antiquotations specifies an alternative
  6306 context interpreting the subsequent argument.  For example: @{thm
  6307 [locale=lattice] inf_assoc}.
  6308 
  6309 * Proper output of proof terms (@{prf ...} and @{full_prf ...}) within
  6310 a proof context.
  6311 
  6312 * Proper output of antiquotations for theory commands involving a
  6313 proof context (such as 'locale' or 'theorem (in loc) ...').
  6314 
  6315 * Delimiters of outer tokens (string etc.) now produce separate LaTeX
  6316 macros (\isachardoublequoteopen, isachardoublequoteclose etc.).
  6317 
  6318 * isatool usedir: new option -C (default true) controls whether option
  6319 -D should include a copy of the original document directory; -C false
  6320 prevents unwanted effects such as copying of administrative CVS data.
  6321 
  6322 
  6323 *** Pure ***
  6324 
  6325 * Considerably improved version of 'constdefs' command.  Now performs
  6326 automatic type-inference of declared constants; additional support for
  6327 local structure declarations (cf. locales and HOL records), see also
  6328 isar-ref manual.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to observe strictly
  6329 sequential dependencies of definitions within a single 'constdefs'
  6330 section; moreover, the declared name needs to be an identifier.  If
  6331 all fails, consider to fall back on 'consts' and 'defs' separately.
  6332 
  6333 * Improved indexed syntax and implicit structures.  First of all,
  6334 indexed syntax provides a notational device for subscripted
  6335 application, using the new syntax \<^bsub>term\<^esub> for arbitrary
  6336 expressions.  Secondly, in a local context with structure
  6337 declarations, number indexes \<^sub>n or the empty index (default
  6338 number 1) refer to a certain fixed variable implicitly; option
  6339 show_structs controls printing of implicit structures.  Typical
  6340 applications of these concepts involve record types and locales.
  6341 
  6342 * New command 'no_syntax' removes grammar declarations (and
  6343 translations) resulting from the given syntax specification, which is
  6344 interpreted in the same manner as for the 'syntax' command.
  6345 
  6346 * 'Advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) may depend
  6347 on the signature of the theory context being presently used for
  6348 parsing/printing, see also isar-ref manual.
  6349 
  6350 * Improved 'oracle' command provides a type-safe interface to turn an
  6351 ML expression of type theory -> T -> term into a primitive rule of
  6352 type theory -> T -> thm (i.e. the functionality of Thm.invoke_oracle
  6353 is already included here); see also FOL/ex/IffExample.thy;
  6354 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6355 
  6356 * axclass: name space prefix for class "c" is now "c_class" (was "c"
  6357 before); "cI" is no longer bound, use "c.intro" instead.
  6358 INCOMPATIBILITY.  This change avoids clashes of fact bindings for
  6359 axclasses vs. locales.
  6360 
  6361 * Improved internal renaming of symbolic identifiers -- attach primes
  6362 instead of base 26 numbers.
  6363 
  6364 * New flag show_question_marks controls printing of leading question
  6365 marks in schematic variable names.
  6366 
  6367 * In schematic variable names, *any* symbol following \<^isub> or
  6368 \<^isup> is now treated as part of the base name.  For example, the
  6369 following works without printing of awkward ".0" indexes:
  6370 
  6371   lemma "x\<^isub>1 = x\<^isub>2 ==> x\<^isub>2 = x\<^isub>1"
  6372     by simp
  6373 
  6374 * Inner syntax includes (*(*nested*) comments*).
  6375 
  6376 * Pretty printer now supports unbreakable blocks, specified in mixfix
  6377 annotations as "(00...)".
  6378 
  6379 * Clear separation of logical types and nonterminals, where the latter
  6380 may only occur in 'syntax' specifications or type abbreviations.
  6381 Before that distinction was only partially implemented via type class
  6382 "logic" vs. "{}".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare cases of improper
  6383 use of 'types'/'consts' instead of 'nonterminals'/'syntax'.  Some very
  6384 exotic syntax specifications may require further adaption
  6385 (e.g. Cube/Cube.thy).
  6386 
  6387 * Removed obsolete type class "logic", use the top sort {} instead.
  6388 Note that non-logical types should be declared as 'nonterminals'
  6389 rather than 'types'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for new object-logic
  6390 specifications.
  6391 
  6392 * Attributes 'induct' and 'cases': type or set names may now be
  6393 locally fixed variables as well.
  6394 
  6395 * Simplifier: can now control the depth to which conditional rewriting
  6396 is traced via the PG menu Isabelle -> Settings -> Trace Simp Depth
  6397 Limit.
  6398 
  6399 * Simplifier: simplification procedures may now take the current
  6400 simpset into account (cf. Simplifier.simproc(_i) / mk_simproc
  6401 interface), which is very useful for calling the Simplifier
  6402 recursively.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: the 'prems' argument of simprocs
  6403 is gone -- use prems_of_ss on the simpset instead.  Moreover, the
  6404 low-level mk_simproc no longer applies Logic.varify internally, to
  6405 allow for use in a context of fixed variables.
  6406 
  6407 * thin_tac now works even if the assumption being deleted contains !!
  6408 or ==>.  More generally, erule now works even if the major premise of
  6409 the elimination rule contains !! or ==>.
  6410 
  6411 * Method 'rules' has been renamed to 'iprover'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6412 
  6413 * Reorganized bootstrapping of the Pure theories; CPure is now derived
  6414 from Pure, which contains all common declarations already.  Both
  6415 theories are defined via plain Isabelle/Isar .thy files.
  6416 INCOMPATIBILITY: elements of CPure (such as the CPure.intro /
  6417 CPure.elim / CPure.dest attributes) now appear in the Pure name space;
  6418 use isatool fixcpure to adapt your theory and ML sources.
  6419 
  6420 * New syntax 'name(i-j, i-, i, ...)' for referring to specific
  6421 selections of theorems in named facts via index ranges.
  6422 
  6423 * 'print_theorems': in theory mode, really print the difference
  6424 wrt. the last state (works for interactive theory development only),
  6425 in proof mode print all local facts (cf. 'print_facts');
  6426 
  6427 * 'hide': option '(open)' hides only base names.
  6428 
  6429 * More efficient treatment of intermediate checkpoints in interactive
  6430 theory development.
  6431 
  6432 * Code generator is now invoked via code_module (incremental code
  6433 generation) and code_library (modular code generation, ML structures
  6434 for each theory).  INCOMPATIBILITY: new keywords 'file' and 'contains'
  6435 must be quoted when used as identifiers.
  6436 
  6437 * New 'value' command for reading, evaluating and printing terms using
  6438 the code generator.  INCOMPATIBILITY: command keyword 'value' must be
  6439 quoted when used as identifier.
  6440 
  6441 
  6442 *** Locales ***
  6443 
  6444 * New commands for the interpretation of locale expressions in
  6445 theories (1), locales (2) and proof contexts (3).  These generate
  6446 proof obligations from the expression specification.  After the
  6447 obligations have been discharged, theorems of the expression are added
  6448 to the theory, target locale or proof context.  The synopsis of the
  6449 commands is a follows:
  6450 
  6451   (1) interpretation expr inst
  6452   (2) interpretation target < expr
  6453   (3) interpret expr inst
  6454 
  6455 Interpretation in theories and proof contexts require a parameter
  6456 instantiation of terms from the current context.  This is applied to
  6457 specifications and theorems of the interpreted expression.
  6458 Interpretation in locales only permits parameter renaming through the
  6459 locale expression.  Interpretation is smart in that interpretations
  6460 that are active already do not occur in proof obligations, neither are
  6461 instantiated theorems stored in duplicate.  Use 'print_interps' to
  6462 inspect active interpretations of a particular locale.  For details,
  6463 see the Isar Reference manual.  Examples can be found in
  6464 HOL/Finite_Set.thy and HOL/Algebra/UnivPoly.thy.
  6465 
  6466 INCOMPATIBILITY: former 'instantiate' has been withdrawn, use
  6467 'interpret' instead.
  6468 
  6469 * New context element 'constrains' for adding type constraints to
  6470 parameters.
  6471 
  6472 * Context expressions: renaming of parameters with syntax
  6473 redeclaration.
  6474 
  6475 * Locale declaration: 'includes' disallowed.
  6476 
  6477 * Proper static binding of attribute syntax -- i.e. types / terms /
  6478 facts mentioned as arguments are always those of the locale definition
  6479 context, independently of the context of later invocations.  Moreover,
  6480 locale operations (renaming and type / term instantiation) are applied
  6481 to attribute arguments as expected.
  6482 
  6483 INCOMPATIBILITY of the ML interface: always pass Attrib.src instead of
  6484 actual attributes; rare situations may require Attrib.attribute to
  6485 embed those attributes into Attrib.src that lack concrete syntax.
  6486 Attribute implementations need to cooperate properly with the static
  6487 binding mechanism.  Basic parsers Args.XXX_typ/term/prop and
  6488 Attrib.XXX_thm etc. already do the right thing without further
  6489 intervention.  Only unusual applications -- such as "where" or "of"
  6490 (cf. src/Pure/Isar/attrib.ML), which process arguments depending both
  6491 on the context and the facts involved -- may have to assign parsed
  6492 values to argument tokens explicitly.
  6493 
  6494 * Changed parameter management in theorem generation for long goal
  6495 statements with 'includes'.  INCOMPATIBILITY: produces a different
  6496 theorem statement in rare situations.
  6497 
  6498 * Locale inspection command 'print_locale' omits notes elements.  Use
  6499 'print_locale!' to have them included in the output.
  6500 
  6501 
  6502 *** Provers ***
  6503 
  6504 * Provers/hypsubst.ML: improved version of the subst method, for
  6505 single-step rewriting: it now works in bound variable contexts. New is
  6506 'subst (asm)', for rewriting an assumption.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may
  6507 rewrite a different subterm than the original subst method, which is
  6508 still available as 'simplesubst'.
  6509 
  6510 * Provers/quasi.ML: new transitivity reasoners for transitivity only
  6511 and quasi orders.
  6512 
  6513 * Provers/trancl.ML: new transitivity reasoner for transitive and
  6514 reflexive-transitive closure of relations.
  6515 
  6516 * Provers/blast.ML: new reference depth_limit to make blast's depth
  6517 limit (previously hard-coded with a value of 20) user-definable.
  6518 
  6519 * Provers/simplifier.ML has been moved to Pure, where Simplifier.setup
  6520 is peformed already.  Object-logics merely need to finish their
  6521 initial simpset configuration as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6522 
  6523 
  6524 *** HOL ***
  6525 
  6526 * Symbolic syntax of Hilbert Choice Operator is now as follows:
  6527 
  6528   syntax (epsilon)
  6529     "_Eps" :: "[pttrn, bool] => 'a"    ("(3\<some>_./ _)" [0, 10] 10)
  6530 
  6531 The symbol \<some> is displayed as the alternative epsilon of LaTeX
  6532 and x-symbol; use option '-m epsilon' to get it actually printed.
  6533 Moreover, the mathematically important symbolic identifier \<epsilon>
  6534 becomes available as variable, constant etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  6535 
  6536 * "x > y" abbreviates "y < x" and "x >= y" abbreviates "y <= x".
  6537 Similarly for all quantifiers: "ALL x > y" etc.  The x-symbol for >=
  6538 is \<ge>. New transitivity rules have been added to HOL/Orderings.thy to
  6539 support corresponding Isar calculations.
  6540 
  6541 * "{x:A. P}" abbreviates "{x. x:A & P}", and similarly for "\<in>"
  6542 instead of ":".
  6543 
  6544 * theory SetInterval: changed the syntax for open intervals:
  6545 
  6546   Old       New
  6547   {..n(}    {..<n}
  6548   {)n..}    {n<..}
  6549   {m..n(}   {m..<n}
  6550   {)m..n}   {m<..n}
  6551   {)m..n(}  {m<..<n}
  6552 
  6553 The old syntax is still supported but will disappear in the next
  6554 release.  For conversion use the following Emacs search and replace
  6555 patterns (these are not perfect but work quite well):
  6556 
  6557   {)\([^\.]*\)\.\.  ->  {\1<\.\.}
  6558   \.\.\([^(}]*\)(}  ->  \.\.<\1}
  6559 
  6560 * Theory Commutative_Ring (in Library): method comm_ring for proving
  6561 equalities in commutative rings; method 'algebra' provides a generic
  6562 interface.
  6563 
  6564 * Theory Finite_Set: changed the syntax for 'setsum', summation over
  6565 finite sets: "setsum (%x. e) A", which used to be "\<Sum>x:A. e", is
  6566 now either "SUM x:A. e" or "\<Sum>x \<in> A. e". The bound variable can
  6567 be a tuple pattern.
  6568 
  6569 Some new syntax forms are available:
  6570 
  6571   "\<Sum>x | P. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {x. P}"
  6572   "\<Sum>x = a..b. e"   for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..b}"
  6573   "\<Sum>x = a..<b. e"  for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..<b}"
  6574   "\<Sum>x < k. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {..<k}"
  6575 
  6576 The latter form "\<Sum>x < k. e" used to be based on a separate
  6577 function "Summation", which has been discontinued.
  6578 
  6579 * theory Finite_Set: in structured induction proofs, the insert case
  6580 is now 'case (insert x F)' instead of the old counterintuitive 'case
  6581 (insert F x)'.
  6582 
  6583 * The 'refute' command has been extended to support a much larger
  6584 fragment of HOL, including axiomatic type classes, constdefs and
  6585 typedefs, inductive datatypes and recursion.
  6586 
  6587 * New tactics 'sat' and 'satx' to prove propositional tautologies.
  6588 Requires zChaff with proof generation to be installed.  See
  6589 HOL/ex/SAT_Examples.thy for examples.
  6590 
  6591 * Datatype induction via method 'induct' now preserves the name of the
  6592 induction variable. For example, when proving P(xs::'a list) by
  6593 induction on xs, the induction step is now P(xs) ==> P(a#xs) rather
  6594 than P(list) ==> P(a#list) as previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  6595 in unstructured proof scripts.
  6596 
  6597 * Reworked implementation of records.  Improved scalability for
  6598 records with many fields, avoiding performance problems for type
  6599 inference. Records are no longer composed of nested field types, but
  6600 of nested extension types. Therefore the record type only grows linear
  6601 in the number of extensions and not in the number of fields.  The
  6602 top-level (users) view on records is preserved.  Potential
  6603 INCOMPATIBILITY only in strange cases, where the theory depends on the
  6604 old record representation. The type generated for a record is called
  6605 <record_name>_ext_type.
  6606 
  6607 Flag record_quick_and_dirty_sensitive can be enabled to skip the
  6608 proofs triggered by a record definition or a simproc (if
  6609 quick_and_dirty is enabled).  Definitions of large records can take
  6610 quite long.
  6611 
  6612 New simproc record_upd_simproc for simplification of multiple record
  6613 updates enabled by default.  Moreover, trivial updates are also
  6614 removed: r(|x := x r|) = r.  INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break
  6615 occasionally, since simplification is more powerful by default.
  6616 
  6617 * typedef: proper support for polymorphic sets, which contain extra
  6618 type-variables in the term.
  6619 
  6620 * Simplifier: automatically reasons about transitivity chains
  6621 involving "trancl" (r^+) and "rtrancl" (r^*) by setting up tactics
  6622 provided by Provers/trancl.ML as additional solvers.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6623 old proofs break occasionally as simplification may now solve more
  6624 goals than previously.
  6625 
  6626 * Simplifier: converts x <= y into x = y if assumption y <= x is
  6627 present.  Works for all partial orders (class "order"), in particular
  6628 numbers and sets.  For linear orders (e.g. numbers) it treats ~ x < y
  6629 just like y <= x.
  6630 
  6631 * Simplifier: new simproc for "let x = a in f x".  If a is a free or
  6632 bound variable or a constant then the let is unfolded.  Otherwise
  6633 first a is simplified to b, and then f b is simplified to g. If
  6634 possible we abstract b from g arriving at "let x = b in h x",
  6635 otherwise we unfold the let and arrive at g.  The simproc can be
  6636 enabled/disabled by the reference use_let_simproc.  Potential
  6637 INCOMPATIBILITY since simplification is more powerful by default.
  6638 
  6639 * Classical reasoning: the meson method now accepts theorems as arguments.
  6640 
  6641 * Prover support: pre-release of the Isabelle-ATP linkup, which runs background
  6642 jobs to provide advice on the provability of subgoals.
  6643 
  6644 * Theory OrderedGroup and Ring_and_Field: various additions and
  6645 improvements to faciliate calculations involving equalities and
  6646 inequalities.
  6647 
  6648 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  6649 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  6650 
  6651   abs_eq             now named abs_of_nonneg
  6652   abs_of_ge_0        now named abs_of_nonneg

  6658   mult_pos_neg_le    now named mult_nonneg_nonpos
  6659   mult_pos_neg2_le   now named mult_nonneg_nonpos2
  6660   mult_neg           now named mult_neg_neg
  6661   mult_neg_le        now named mult_nonpos_nonpos
  6662 
  6663 * The following lemmas in Ring_and_Field have been added to the simplifier:
  6664      
  6665      zero_le_square
  6666      not_square_less_zero 
  6667 
  6668   The following lemmas have been deleted from Real/RealPow:
  6669   
  6670      realpow_zero_zero
  6671      realpow_two
  6672      realpow_less
  6673      zero_le_power
  6674      realpow_two_le
  6675      abs_realpow_two
  6676      realpow_two_abs     
  6677 
  6678 * Theory Parity: added rules for simplifying exponents.
  6679 
  6680 * Theory List:
  6681 
  6682 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  6683 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  6684 
  6685   list_all_Nil       now named list_all.simps(1)
  6686   list_all_Cons      now named list_all.simps(2)
  6687   list_all_conv      now named list_all_iff
  6688   set_mem_eq         now named mem_iff
  6689 
  6690 * Theories SetsAndFunctions and BigO (see HOL/Library) support
  6691 asymptotic "big O" calculations.  See the notes in BigO.thy.
  6692 
  6693 
  6694 *** HOL-Complex ***
  6695 
  6696 * Theory RealDef: better support for embedding natural numbers and
  6697 integers in the reals.
  6698 
  6699 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  6700 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  6701 
  6702   exp_ge_add_one_self  now requires no hypotheses
  6703   real_of_int_add      reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  6704   real_of_int_minus    reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  6705   real_of_int_diff     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  6706   real_of_int_mult     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  6707 
  6708 * Theory RComplete: expanded support for floor and ceiling functions.
  6709 
  6710 * Theory Ln is new, with properties of the natural logarithm
  6711 
  6712 * Hyperreal: There is a new type constructor "star" for making
  6713 nonstandard types.  The old type names are now type synonyms:
  6714 
  6715   hypreal = real star
  6716   hypnat = nat star
  6717   hcomplex = complex star
  6718 
  6719 * Hyperreal: Many groups of similarly-defined constants have been
  6720 replaced by polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  6721

  6735 
  6736 * Hyperreal: Many type-specific theorems have been removed in favor of
  6737 theorems specific to various axiomatic type classes (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  6762   add_nonneg_nonneg <-- hypreal_le_add_order
  6763 
  6764 * Hyperreal: Separate theorems having to do with type-specific
  6765 versions of constants have been merged into theorems that apply to the
  6766 new polymorphic constants (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  6767 
  6768   STAR_UNIV_set <-- {STAR_real,NatStar_real,STARC_complex}_set
  6769   STAR_empty_set <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_empty_set

  6856 
  6857 * Hyperreal: new method "transfer" that implements the transfer
  6858 principle of nonstandard analysis. With a subgoal that mentions
  6859 nonstandard types like "'a star", the command "apply transfer"
  6860 replaces it with an equivalent one that mentions only standard types.
  6861 To be successful, all free variables must have standard types; non-
  6862 standard variables must have explicit universal quantifiers.
  6863 
  6864 * Hyperreal: A theory of Taylor series.
  6865 
  6866 
  6867 *** HOLCF ***
  6868 
  6869 * Discontinued special version of 'constdefs' (which used to support
  6870 continuous functions) in favor of the general Pure one with full
  6871 type-inference.
  6872 
  6873 * New simplification procedure for solving continuity conditions; it
  6874 is much faster on terms with many nested lambda abstractions (cubic
  6875 instead of exponential time).
  6876 
  6877 * New syntax for domain package: selector names are now optional.
  6878 Parentheses should be omitted unless argument is lazy, for example:
  6879 
  6880   domain 'a stream = cons "'a" (lazy "'a stream")
  6881 
  6882 * New command 'fixrec' for defining recursive functions with pattern
  6883 matching; defining multiple functions with mutual recursion is also
  6884 supported.  Patterns may include the constants cpair, spair, up, sinl,
  6885 sinr, or any data constructor defined by the domain package. The given
  6886 equations are proven as rewrite rules. See HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  6887 syntax and examples.
  6888 
  6889 * New commands 'cpodef' and 'pcpodef' for defining predicate subtypes
  6890 of cpo and pcpo types. Syntax is exactly like the 'typedef' command,
  6891 but the proof obligation additionally includes an admissibility
  6892 requirement. The packages generate instances of class cpo or pcpo,
  6893 with continuity and strictness theorems for Rep and Abs.
  6894 
  6895 * HOLCF: Many theorems have been renamed according to a more standard naming
  6896 scheme (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  6897 
  6898   foo_inject:  "foo$x = foo$y ==> x = y"
  6899   foo_eq:      "(foo$x = foo$y) = (x = y)"
  6900   foo_less:    "(foo$x << foo$y) = (x << y)"
  6901   foo_strict:  "foo$UU = UU"
  6902   foo_defined: "... ==> foo$x ~= UU"
  6903   foo_defined_iff: "(foo$x = UU) = (x = UU)"
  6904 
  6905 
  6906 *** ZF ***
  6907 
  6908 * ZF/ex: theories Group and Ring provide examples in abstract algebra,
  6909 including the First Isomorphism Theorem (on quotienting by the kernel
  6910 of a homomorphism).
  6911 
  6912 * ZF/Simplifier: install second copy of type solver that actually
  6913 makes use of TC rules declared to Isar proof contexts (or locales);
  6914 the old version is still required for ML proof scripts.
  6915 
  6916 
  6917 *** Cube ***
  6918 
  6919 * Converted to Isar theory format; use locales instead of axiomatic
  6920 theories.
  6921 
  6922 
  6923 *** ML ***
  6924 
  6925 * Pure/library.ML: added ##>, ##>>, #>> -- higher-order counterparts
  6926 for ||>, ||>>, |>>,
  6927 
  6928 * Pure/library.ML no longer defines its own option datatype, but uses
  6929 that of the SML basis, which has constructors NONE and SOME instead of
  6930 None and Some, as well as exception Option.Option instead of OPTION.
  6931 The functions the, if_none, is_some, is_none have been adapted
  6932 accordingly, while Option.map replaces apsome.
  6933 
  6934 * Pure/library.ML: the exception LIST has been given up in favour of
  6935 the standard exceptions Empty and Subscript, as well as
  6936 Library.UnequalLengths.  Function like Library.hd and Library.tl are
  6937 superceded by the standard hd and tl functions etc.
  6938 
  6939 A number of basic list functions are no longer exported to the ML
  6940 toplevel, as they are variants of predefined functions.  The following
  6941 suggests how one can translate existing code:
  6942 
  6943     rev_append xs ys = List.revAppend (xs, ys)
  6944     nth_elem (i, xs) = List.nth (xs, i)
  6945     last_elem xs = List.last xs
  6946     flat xss = List.concat xss
  6947     seq fs = List.app fs
  6948     partition P xs = List.partition P xs
  6949     mapfilter f xs = List.mapPartial f xs
  6950 
  6951 * Pure/library.ML: several combinators for linear functional
  6952 transformations, notably reverse application and composition:
  6953 
  6954   x |> f                f #> g
  6955   (x, y) |-> f          f #-> g
  6956 
  6957 * Pure/library.ML: introduced/changed precedence of infix operators:
  6958 
  6959   infix 1 |> |-> ||> ||>> |>> |>>> #> #->;
  6960   infix 2 ?;
  6961   infix 3 o oo ooo oooo;
  6962   infix 4 ~~ upto downto;
  6963 
  6964 Maybe INCOMPATIBILITY when any of those is used in conjunction with other
  6965 infix operators.
  6966 
  6967 * Pure/library.ML: natural list combinators fold, fold_rev, and
  6968 fold_map support linear functional transformations and nesting.  For
  6969 example:
  6970 
  6971   fold f [x1, ..., xN] y =
  6972     y |> f x1 |> ... |> f xN
  6973 
  6974   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] y =
  6975     y |> fold f xs1 |> ... |> fold f xsN
  6976 
  6977   fold f [x1, ..., xN] =
  6978     f x1 #> ... #> f xN
  6979 
  6980   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] =
  6981     fold f xs1 #> ... #> fold f xsN
  6982 
  6983 * Pure/library.ML: the following selectors on type 'a option are
  6984 available:
  6985 
  6986   the:               'a option -> 'a  (*partial*)
  6987   these:             'a option -> 'a  where 'a = 'b list
  6988   the_default: 'a -> 'a option -> 'a
  6989   the_list:          'a option -> 'a list
  6990 
  6991 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  6992 basic operations for association lists, following natural argument
  6993 order; moreover the explicit equality predicate passed here avoids
  6994 potentially expensive polymorphic runtime equality checks.
  6995 The old functions may be expressed as follows:
  6996 
  6997   assoc = uncurry (AList.lookup (op =))
  6998   assocs = these oo AList.lookup (op =)
  6999   overwrite = uncurry (AList.update (op =)) o swap
  7000 
  7001 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  7002 
  7003   val make: ('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> ('a * 'b) list
  7004   val find: ('a * 'b -> bool) -> ('c * 'b) list -> 'a -> 'c list
  7005 
  7006 replacing make_keylist and keyfilter (occassionally used)
  7007 Naive rewrites:
  7008 
  7009   make_keylist = AList.make
  7010   keyfilter = AList.find (op =)
  7011 
  7012 * eq_fst and eq_snd now take explicit equality parameter, thus
  7013   avoiding eqtypes. Naive rewrites:
  7014 
  7015     eq_fst = eq_fst (op =)
  7016     eq_snd = eq_snd (op =)
  7017 
  7018 * Removed deprecated apl and apr (rarely used).
  7019   Naive rewrites:
  7020 
  7021     apl (n, op) =>>= curry op n
  7022     apr (op, m) =>>= fn n => op (n, m)
  7023 
  7024 * Pure/General: structure OrdList (cf. Pure/General/ord_list.ML)
  7025 provides a reasonably efficient light-weight implementation of sets as
  7026 lists.
  7027 
  7028 * Pure/General: generic tables (cf. Pure/General/table.ML) provide a
  7029 few new operations; existing lookup and update are now curried to
  7030 follow natural argument order (for use with fold etc.);
  7031 INCOMPATIBILITY, use (uncurry Symtab.lookup) etc. as last resort.
  7032 
  7033 * Pure/General: output via the Isabelle channels of
  7034 writeln/warning/error etc. is now passed through Output.output, with a
  7035 hook for arbitrary transformations depending on the print_mode
  7036 (cf. Output.add_mode -- the first active mode that provides a output
  7037 function wins).  Already formatted output may be embedded into further
  7038 text via Output.raw; the result of Pretty.string_of/str_of and derived
  7039 functions (string_of_term/cterm/thm etc.) is already marked raw to
  7040 accommodate easy composition of diagnostic messages etc.  Programmers
  7041 rarely need to care about Output.output or Output.raw at all, with
  7042 some notable exceptions: Output.output is required when bypassing the
  7043 standard channels (writeln etc.), or in token translations to produce
  7044 properly formatted results; Output.raw is required when capturing
  7045 already output material that will eventually be presented to the user
  7046 a second time.  For the default print mode, both Output.output and
  7047 Output.raw have no effect.
  7048 
  7049 * Pure/General: Output.time_accumulator NAME creates an operator ('a
  7050 -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'b to measure runtime and count invocations; the
  7051 cumulative results are displayed at the end of a batch session.
  7052 
  7053 * Pure/General: File.sysify_path and File.quote_sysify path have been
  7054 replaced by File.platform_path and File.shell_path (with appropriate
  7055 hooks).  This provides a clean interface for unusual systems where the
  7056 internal and external process view of file names are different.
  7057 
  7058 * Pure: more efficient orders for basic syntactic entities: added
  7059 fast_string_ord, fast_indexname_ord, fast_term_ord; changed sort_ord
  7060 and typ_ord to use fast_string_ord and fast_indexname_ord (term_ord is
  7061 NOT affected); structures Symtab, Vartab, Typtab, Termtab use the fast
  7062 orders now -- potential INCOMPATIBILITY for code that depends on a
  7063 particular order for Symtab.keys, Symtab.dest, etc. (consider using
  7064 Library.sort_strings on result).
  7065 
  7066 * Pure/term.ML: combinators fold_atyps, fold_aterms, fold_term_types,
  7067 fold_types traverse types/terms from left to right, observing natural
  7068 argument order.  Supercedes previous foldl_XXX versions, add_frees,
  7069 add_vars etc. have been adapted as well: INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7070 
  7071 * Pure: name spaces have been refined, with significant changes of the
  7072 internal interfaces -- INCOMPATIBILITY.  Renamed cond_extern(_table)
  7073 to extern(_table).  The plain name entry path is superceded by a
  7074 general 'naming' context, which also includes the 'policy' to produce
  7075 a fully qualified name and external accesses of a fully qualified
  7076 name; NameSpace.extend is superceded by context dependent
  7077 Sign.declare_name.  Several theory and proof context operations modify
  7078 the naming context.  Especially note Theory.restore_naming and
  7079 ProofContext.restore_naming to get back to a sane state; note that
  7080 Theory.add_path is no longer sufficient to recover from
  7081 Theory.absolute_path in particular.
  7082 
  7083 * Pure: new flags short_names (default false) and unique_names
  7084 (default true) for controlling output of qualified names.  If
  7085 short_names is set, names are printed unqualified.  If unique_names is
  7086 reset, the name prefix is reduced to the minimum required to achieve
  7087 the original result when interning again, even if there is an overlap
  7088 with earlier declarations.
  7089 
  7090 * Pure/TheoryDataFun: change of the argument structure; 'prep_ext' is
  7091 now 'extend', and 'merge' gets an additional Pretty.pp argument
  7092 (useful for printing error messages).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7093 
  7094 * Pure: major reorganization of the theory context.  Type Sign.sg and
  7095 Theory.theory are now identified, referring to the universal
  7096 Context.theory (see Pure/context.ML).  Actual signature and theory
  7097 content is managed as theory data.  The old code and interfaces were
  7098 spread over many files and structures; the new arrangement introduces
  7099 considerable INCOMPATIBILITY to gain more clarity:
  7100 
  7101   Context -- theory management operations (name, identity, inclusion,
  7102     parents, ancestors, merge, etc.), plus generic theory data;
  7103 
  7104   Sign -- logical signature and syntax operations (declaring consts,
  7105     types, etc.), plus certify/read for common entities;
  7106 
  7107   Theory -- logical theory operations (stating axioms, definitions,
  7108     oracles), plus a copy of logical signature operations (consts,
  7109     types, etc.); also a few basic management operations (Theory.copy,
  7110     Theory.merge, etc.)
  7111 
  7112 The most basic sign_of operations (Theory.sign_of, Thm.sign_of_thm
  7113 etc.) as well as the sign field in Thm.rep_thm etc. have been retained
  7114 for convenience -- they merely return the theory.
  7115 
  7116 * Pure: type Type.tsig is superceded by theory in most interfaces.
  7117 
  7118 * Pure: the Isar proof context type is already defined early in Pure
  7119 as Context.proof (note that ProofContext.context and Proof.context are
  7120 aliases, where the latter is the preferred name).  This enables other
  7121 Isabelle components to refer to that type even before Isar is present.
  7122 
  7123 * Pure/sign/theory: discontinued named name spaces (i.e. classK,
  7124 typeK, constK, axiomK, oracleK), but provide explicit operations for
  7125 any of these kinds.  For example, Sign.intern typeK is now
  7126 Sign.intern_type, Theory.hide_space Sign.typeK is now
  7127 Theory.hide_types.  Also note that former
  7128 Theory.hide_classes/types/consts are now
  7129 Theory.hide_classes_i/types_i/consts_i, while the non '_i' versions
  7130 internalize their arguments!  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7131 
  7132 * Pure: get_thm interface (of PureThy and ProofContext) expects
  7133 datatype thmref (with constructors Name and NameSelection) instead of
  7134 plain string -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  7135 
  7136 * Pure: cases produced by proof methods specify options, where NONE
  7137 means to remove case bindings -- INCOMPATIBILITY in
  7138 (RAW_)METHOD_CASES.
  7139 
  7140 * Pure: the following operations retrieve axioms or theorems from a
  7141 theory node or theory hierarchy, respectively:
  7142 
  7143   Theory.axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  7144   Theory.all_axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  7145   PureThy.thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  7146   PureThy.all_thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  7147 
  7148 * Pure: print_tac now outputs the goal through the trace channel.
  7149 
  7150 * Isar toplevel: improved diagnostics, mostly for Poly/ML only.
  7151 Reference Toplevel.debug (default false) controls detailed printing
  7152 and tracing of low-level exceptions; Toplevel.profiling (default 0)
  7153 controls execution profiling -- set to 1 for time and 2 for space
  7154 (both increase the runtime).
  7155 
  7156 * Isar session: The initial use of ROOT.ML is now always timed,
  7157 i.e. the log will show the actual process times, in contrast to the
  7158 elapsed wall-clock time that the outer shell wrapper produces.
  7159 
  7160 * Simplifier: improved handling of bound variables (nameless
  7161 representation, avoid allocating new strings).  Simprocs that invoke
  7162 the Simplifier recursively should use Simplifier.inherit_bounds to
  7163 avoid local name clashes.  Failure to do so produces warnings
  7164 "Simplifier: renamed bound variable ..."; set Simplifier.debug_bounds
  7165 for further details.
  7166 
  7167 * ML functions legacy_bindings and use_legacy_bindings produce ML fact
  7168 bindings for all theorems stored within a given theory; this may help
  7169 in porting non-Isar theories to Isar ones, while keeping ML proof
  7170 scripts for the time being.
  7171 
  7172 * ML operator HTML.with_charset specifies the charset begin used for
  7173 generated HTML files.  For example:
  7174 
  7175   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Hebrew";
  7176   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Chinese";
  7177 
  7178 
  7179 *** System ***
  7180 
  7181 * Allow symlinks to all proper Isabelle executables (Isabelle,
  7182 isabelle, isatool etc.).
  7183 
  7184 * ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT setting specifies preferred document format (for
  7185 isatool doc, isatool mkdir, display_drafts etc.).
  7186 
  7187 * isatool usedir: option -f allows specification of the ML file to be
  7188 used by Isabelle; default is ROOT.ML.
  7189 
  7190 * New isatool version outputs the version identifier of the Isabelle
  7191 distribution being used.
  7192 
  7193 * HOL: new isatool dimacs2hol converts files in DIMACS CNF format
  7194 (containing Boolean satisfiability problems) into Isabelle/HOL
  7195 theories.
  7196 
  7197 
  7198 
  7199 New in Isabelle2004 (April 2004)
  7200 --------------------------------
  7201 
  7202 *** General ***
  7203 
  7204 * Provers/order.ML:  new efficient reasoner for partial and linear orders.
  7205   Replaces linorder.ML.
  7206 
  7207 * Pure: Greek letters (except small lambda, \<lambda>), as well as Gothic
  7208   (\<aa>...\<zz>\<AA>...\<ZZ>), calligraphic (\<A>...\<Z>), and Euler
  7209   (\<a>...\<z>), are now considered normal letters, and can therefore
  7210   be used anywhere where an ASCII letter (a...zA...Z) has until
  7211   now. COMPATIBILITY: This obviously changes the parsing of some
  7212   terms, especially where a symbol has been used as a binder, say
  7213   '\<Pi>x. ...', which is now a type error since \<Pi>x will be parsed
  7214   as an identifier.  Fix it by inserting a space around former
  7215   symbols.  Call 'isatool fixgreek' to try to fix parsing errors in
  7216   existing theory and ML files.
  7217 
  7218 * Pure: Macintosh and Windows line-breaks are now allowed in theory files.
  7219 
  7220 * Pure: single letter sub/superscripts (\<^isub> and \<^isup>) are now
  7221   allowed in identifiers. Similar to Greek letters \<^isub> is now considered
  7222   a normal (but invisible) letter. For multiple letter subscripts repeat
  7223   \<^isub> like this: x\<^isub>1\<^isub>2.
  7224 
  7225 * Pure: There are now sub-/superscripts that can span more than one
  7226   character. Text between \<^bsub> and \<^esub> is set in subscript in
  7227   ProofGeneral and LaTeX, text between \<^bsup> and \<^esup> in
  7228   superscript. The new control characters are not identifier parts.
  7229 
  7230 * Pure: Control-symbols of the form \<^raw:...> will literally print the
  7231   content of "..." to the latex file instead of \isacntrl... . The "..."
  7232   may consist of any printable characters excluding the end bracket >.
  7233 
  7234 * Pure: Using new Isar command "finalconsts" (or the ML functions
  7235   Theory.add_finals or Theory.add_finals_i) it is now possible to
  7236   declare constants "final", which prevents their being given a definition
  7237   later.  It is useful for constants whose behaviour is fixed axiomatically
  7238   rather than definitionally, such as the meta-logic connectives.
  7239 
  7240 * Pure: 'instance' now handles general arities with general sorts
  7241   (i.e. intersections of classes),
  7242 
  7243 * Presentation: generated HTML now uses a CSS style sheet to make layout
  7244   (somewhat) independent of content. It is copied from lib/html/isabelle.css.
  7245   It can be changed to alter the colors/layout of generated pages.
  7246 
  7247 
  7248 *** Isar ***
  7249 
  7250 * Tactic emulation methods rule_tac, erule_tac, drule_tac, frule_tac,
  7251   cut_tac, subgoal_tac and thin_tac:
  7252   - Now understand static (Isar) contexts.  As a consequence, users of Isar
  7253     locales are no longer forced to write Isar proof scripts.
  7254     For details see Isar Reference Manual, paragraph 4.3.2: Further tactic
  7255     emulations.
  7256   - INCOMPATIBILITY: names of variables to be instantiated may no
  7257     longer be enclosed in quotes.  Instead, precede variable name with `?'.
  7258     This is consistent with the instantiation attribute "where".
  7259 
  7260 * Attributes "where" and "of":
  7261   - Now take type variables of instantiated theorem into account when reading
  7262     the instantiation string.  This fixes a bug that caused instantiated
  7263     theorems to have too special types in some circumstances.
  7264   - "where" permits explicit instantiations of type variables.
  7265 
  7266 * Calculation commands "moreover" and "also" no longer interfere with
  7267   current facts ("this"), admitting arbitrary combinations with "then"
  7268   and derived forms.
  7269 
  7270 * Locales:
  7271   - Goal statements involving the context element "includes" no longer
  7272     generate theorems with internal delta predicates (those ending on
  7273     "_axioms") in the premise.
  7274     Resolve particular premise with <locale>.intro to obtain old form.
  7275   - Fixed bug in type inference ("unify_frozen") that prevented mix of target
  7276     specification and "includes" elements in goal statement.
  7277   - Rule sets <locale>.intro and <locale>.axioms no longer declared as
  7278     [intro?] and [elim?] (respectively) by default.
  7279   - Experimental command for instantiation of locales in proof contexts:
  7280         instantiate <label>[<attrs>]: <loc>
  7281     Instantiates locale <loc> and adds all its theorems to the current context
  7282     taking into account their attributes.  Label and attrs are optional
  7283     modifiers, like in theorem declarations.  If present, names of
  7284     instantiated theorems are qualified with <label>, and the attributes
  7285     <attrs> are applied after any attributes these theorems might have already.
  7286       If the locale has assumptions, a chained fact of the form
  7287     "<loc> t1 ... tn" is expected from which instantiations of the parameters
  7288     are derived.  The command does not support old-style locales declared
  7289     with "locale (open)".
  7290       A few (very simple) examples can be found in FOL/ex/LocaleInst.thy.
  7291 
  7292 * HOL: Tactic emulation methods induct_tac and case_tac understand static
  7293   (Isar) contexts.
  7294 
  7295 
  7296 *** HOL ***
  7297 
  7298 * Proof import: new image HOL4 contains the imported library from
  7299   the HOL4 system with about 2500 theorems. It is imported by
  7300   replaying proof terms produced by HOL4 in Isabelle. The HOL4 image
  7301   can be used like any other Isabelle image.  See
  7302   HOL/Import/HOL/README for more information.
  7303 
  7304 * Simplifier:
  7305   - Much improved handling of linear and partial orders.
  7306     Reasoners for linear and partial orders are set up for type classes
  7307     "linorder" and "order" respectively, and are added to the default simpset
  7308     as solvers.  This means that the simplifier can build transitivity chains
  7309     to solve goals from the assumptions.
  7310   - INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break occasionally.  Typically, applications
  7311     of blast or auto after simplification become unnecessary because the goal
  7312     is solved by simplification already.
  7313 
  7314 * Numerics: new theory Ring_and_Field contains over 250 basic numerical laws,
  7315     all proved in axiomatic type classes for semirings, rings and fields.
  7316 
  7317 * Numerics:
  7318   - Numeric types (nat, int, and in HOL-Complex rat, real, complex, etc.) are
  7319     now formalized using the Ring_and_Field theory mentioned above.
  7320   - INCOMPATIBILITY: simplification and arithmetic behaves somewhat differently
  7321     than before, because now they are set up once in a generic manner.
  7322   - INCOMPATIBILITY: many type-specific arithmetic laws have gone.
  7323     Look for the general versions in Ring_and_Field (and Power if they concern
  7324     exponentiation).
  7325 
  7326 * Type "rat" of the rational numbers is now available in HOL-Complex.
  7327 
  7328 * Records:
  7329   - Record types are now by default printed with their type abbreviation
  7330     instead of the list of all field types. This can be configured via
  7331     the reference "print_record_type_abbr".
  7332   - Simproc "record_upd_simproc" for simplification of multiple updates added
  7333     (not enabled by default).
  7334   - Simproc "record_ex_sel_eq_simproc" to simplify EX x. sel r = x resp.
  7335     EX x. x = sel r to True (not enabled by default).
  7336   - Tactic "record_split_simp_tac" to split and simplify records added.
  7337 
  7338 * 'specification' command added, allowing for definition by
  7339   specification.  There is also an 'ax_specification' command that
  7340   introduces the new constants axiomatically.
  7341 
  7342 * arith(_tac) is now able to generate counterexamples for reals as well.
  7343 
  7344 * HOL-Algebra: new locale "ring" for non-commutative rings.
  7345 
  7346 * HOL-ex: InductiveInvariant_examples illustrates advanced recursive function
  7347   definitions, thanks to Sava Krsti\'{c} and John Matthews.
  7348 
  7349 * HOL-Matrix: a first theory for matrices in HOL with an application of
  7350   matrix theory to linear programming.
  7351 
  7352 * Unions and Intersections:
  7353   The latex output syntax of UN and INT has been changed
  7354   from "\Union x \in A. B" to "\Union_{x \in A} B"
  7355   i.e. the index formulae has become a subscript.
  7356   Similarly for "\Union x. B", and for \Inter instead of \Union.
  7357 
  7358 * Unions and Intersections over Intervals:
  7359   There is new short syntax "UN i<=n. A" for "UN i:{0..n}. A". There is
  7360   also an x-symbol version with subscripts "\<Union>\<^bsub>i <= n\<^esub>. A"
  7361   like in normal math, and corresponding versions for < and for intersection.
  7362 
  7363 * HOL/List: Ordering "lexico" is renamed "lenlex" and the standard
  7364   lexicographic dictonary ordering has been added as "lexord".
  7365 
  7366 * ML: the legacy theory structures Int and List have been removed. They had
  7367   conflicted with ML Basis Library structures having the same names.
  7368 
  7369 * 'refute' command added to search for (finite) countermodels.  Only works
  7370   for a fragment of HOL.  The installation of an external SAT solver is
  7371   highly recommended.  See "HOL/Refute.thy" for details.
  7372 
  7373 * 'quickcheck' command: Allows to find counterexamples by evaluating
  7374   formulae under an assignment of free variables to random values.
  7375   In contrast to 'refute', it can deal with inductive datatypes,
  7376   but cannot handle quantifiers. See "HOL/ex/Quickcheck_Examples.thy"
  7377   for examples.
  7378 
  7379 
  7380 *** HOLCF ***
  7381 
  7382 * Streams now come with concatenation and are part of the HOLCF image
  7383 
  7384 
  7385 
  7386 New in Isabelle2003 (May 2003)
  7387 ------------------------------
  7388 
  7389 *** General ***
  7390 
  7391 * Provers/simplifier:
  7392 
  7393   - Completely reimplemented method simp (ML: Asm_full_simp_tac):
  7394     Assumptions are now subject to complete mutual simplification,
  7395     not just from left to right. The simplifier now preserves
  7396     the order of assumptions.
  7397 
  7398     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  7399 
  7400     -- simp sometimes diverges where the old version did
  7401        not, e.g. invoking simp on the goal
  7402 
  7403         [| P (f x); y = x; f x = f y |] ==> Q
  7404 
  7405        now gives rise to the infinite reduction sequence
  7406 
  7407         P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> P(f y) --(y = x)--> P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> ...
  7408 
  7409        Using "simp (asm_lr)" (ML: Asm_lr_simp_tac) instead often solves this
  7410        kind of problem.
  7411 
  7412     -- Tactics combining classical reasoner and simplification (such as auto)
  7413        are also affected by this change, because many of them rely on
  7414        simp. They may sometimes diverge as well or yield a different numbers
  7415        of subgoals. Try to use e.g. force, fastsimp, or safe instead of auto
  7416        in case of problems. Sometimes subsequent calls to the classical
  7417        reasoner will fail because a preceeding call to the simplifier too
  7418        eagerly simplified the goal, e.g. deleted redundant premises.
  7419 
  7420   - The simplifier trace now shows the names of the applied rewrite rules
  7421 
  7422   - You can limit the number of recursive invocations of the simplifier
  7423     during conditional rewriting (where the simplifie tries to solve the
  7424     conditions before applying the rewrite rule):
  7425     ML "simp_depth_limit := n"
  7426     where n is an integer. Thus you can force termination where previously
  7427     the simplifier would diverge.
  7428 
  7429   - Accepts free variables as head terms in congruence rules.  Useful in Isar.
  7430 
  7431   - No longer aborts on failed congruence proof.  Instead, the
  7432     congruence is ignored.
  7433 
  7434 * Pure: New generic framework for extracting programs from constructive
  7435   proofs. See HOL/Extraction.thy for an example instantiation, as well
  7436   as HOL/Extraction for some case studies.
  7437 
  7438 * Pure: The main goal of the proof state is no longer shown by default, only
  7439 the subgoals. This behaviour is controlled by a new flag.
  7440    PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Settings -> Show Main Goal
  7441 (ML: Proof.show_main_goal).
  7442 
  7443 * Pure: You can find all matching introduction rules for subgoal 1, i.e. all
  7444 rules whose conclusion matches subgoal 1:
  7445       PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Show me -> matching rules
  7446 The rules are ordered by how closely they match the subgoal.
  7447 In particular, rules that solve a subgoal outright are displayed first
  7448 (or rather last, the way they are printed).
  7449 (ML: ProofGeneral.print_intros())
  7450 
  7451 * Pure: New flag trace_unify_fail causes unification to print
  7452 diagnostic information (PG: in trace buffer) when it fails. This is
  7453 useful for figuring out why single step proofs like rule, erule or
  7454 assumption failed.
  7455 
  7456 * Pure: Locale specifications now produce predicate definitions
  7457 according to the body of text (covering assumptions modulo local
  7458 definitions); predicate "loc_axioms" covers newly introduced text,
  7459 while "loc" is cumulative wrt. all included locale expressions; the
  7460 latter view is presented only on export into the global theory
  7461 context; potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use "(open)" option to fall back
  7462 on the old view without predicates;
  7463 
  7464 * Pure: predefined locales "var" and "struct" are useful for sharing
  7465 parameters (as in CASL, for example); just specify something like
  7466 ``var x + var y + struct M'' as import;
  7467 
  7468 * Pure: improved thms_containing: proper indexing of facts instead of
  7469 raw theorems; check validity of results wrt. current name space;
  7470 include local facts of proof configuration (also covers active
  7471 locales), cover fixed variables in index; may use "_" in term
  7472 specification; an optional limit for the number of printed facts may
  7473 be given (the default is 40);
  7474 
  7475 * Pure: disallow duplicate fact bindings within new-style theory files
  7476 (batch-mode only);
  7477 
  7478 * Provers: improved induct method: assumptions introduced by case
  7479 "foo" are split into "foo.hyps" (from the rule) and "foo.prems" (from
  7480 the goal statement); "foo" still refers to all facts collectively;
  7481 
  7482 * Provers: the function blast.overloaded has been removed: all constants
  7483 are regarded as potentially overloaded, which improves robustness in exchange
  7484 for slight decrease in efficiency;
  7485 
  7486 * Provers/linorder: New generic prover for transitivity reasoning over
  7487 linear orders.  Note: this prover is not efficient!
  7488 
  7489 * Isar: preview of problems to finish 'show' now produce an error
  7490 rather than just a warning (in interactive mode);
  7491 
  7492 
  7493 *** HOL ***
  7494 
  7495 * arith(_tac)
  7496 
  7497  - Produces a counter example if it cannot prove a goal.
  7498    Note that the counter example may be spurious if the goal is not a formula
  7499    of quantifier-free linear arithmetic.
  7500    In ProofGeneral the counter example appears in the trace buffer.
  7501 
  7502  - Knows about div k and mod k where k is a numeral of type nat or int.
  7503 
  7504  - Calls full Presburger arithmetic (by Amine Chaieb) if quantifier-free
  7505    linear arithmetic fails. This takes account of quantifiers and divisibility.
  7506    Presburger arithmetic can also be called explicitly via presburger(_tac).
  7507 
  7508 * simp's arithmetic capabilities have been enhanced a bit: it now
  7509 takes ~= in premises into account (by performing a case split);
  7510 
  7511 * simp reduces "m*(n div m) + n mod m" to n, even if the two summands
  7512 are distributed over a sum of terms;
  7513 
  7514 * New tactic "trans_tac" and method "trans" instantiate
  7515 Provers/linorder.ML for axclasses "order" and "linorder" (predicates
  7516 "<=", "<" and "=").
  7517 
  7518 * function INCOMPATIBILITIES: Pi-sets have been redefined and moved from main
  7519 HOL to Library/FuncSet; constant "Fun.op o" is now called "Fun.comp";
  7520 
  7521 * 'typedef' command has new option "open" to suppress the set
  7522 definition;
  7523 
  7524 * functions Min and Max on finite sets have been introduced (theory
  7525 Finite_Set);
  7526 
  7527 * attribute [symmetric] now works for relations as well; it turns
  7528 (x,y) : R^-1 into (y,x) : R, and vice versa;
  7529 
  7530 * induct over a !!-quantified statement (say !!x1..xn):
  7531   each "case" automatically performs "fix x1 .. xn" with exactly those names.
  7532 
  7533 * Map: `empty' is no longer a constant but a syntactic abbreviation for
  7534 %x. None. Warning: empty_def now refers to the previously hidden definition
  7535 of the empty set.
  7536 
  7537 * Algebra: formalization of classical algebra.  Intended as base for
  7538 any algebraic development in Isabelle.  Currently covers group theory
  7539 (up to Sylow's theorem) and ring theory (Universal Property of
  7540 Univariate Polynomials).  Contributions welcome;
  7541 
  7542 * GroupTheory: deleted, since its material has been moved to Algebra;
  7543 
  7544 * Complex: new directory of the complex numbers with numeric constants,
  7545 nonstandard complex numbers, and some complex analysis, standard and
  7546 nonstandard (Jacques Fleuriot);
  7547 
  7548 * HOL-Complex: new image for analysis, replacing HOL-Real and HOL-Hyperreal;
  7549 
  7550 * Hyperreal: introduced Gauge integration and hyperreal logarithms (Jacques
  7551 Fleuriot);
  7552 
  7553 * Real/HahnBanach: updated and adapted to locales;
  7554 
  7555 * NumberTheory: added Gauss's law of quadratic reciprocity (by Avigad,
  7556 Gray and Kramer);
  7557 
  7558 * UNITY: added the Meier-Sanders theory of progress sets;
  7559 
  7560 * MicroJava: bytecode verifier and lightweight bytecode verifier
  7561 as abstract algorithms, instantiated to the JVM;
  7562 
  7563 * Bali: Java source language formalization. Type system, operational
  7564 semantics, axiomatic semantics. Supported language features:
  7565 classes, interfaces, objects,virtual methods, static methods,
  7566 static/instance fields, arrays, access modifiers, definite
  7567 assignment, exceptions.
  7568 
  7569 
  7570 *** ZF ***
  7571 
  7572 * ZF/Constructible: consistency proof for AC (Gdel's constructible
  7573 universe, etc.);
  7574 
  7575 * Main ZF: virtually all theories converted to new-style format;
  7576 
  7577 
  7578 *** ML ***
  7579 
  7580 * Pure: Tactic.prove provides sane interface for internal proofs;
  7581 omits the infamous "standard" operation, so this is more appropriate
  7582 than prove_goalw_cterm in many situations (e.g. in simprocs);
  7583 
  7584 * Pure: improved error reporting of simprocs;
  7585 
  7586 * Provers: Simplifier.simproc(_i) provides sane interface for setting
  7587 up simprocs;
  7588 
  7589 
  7590 *** Document preparation ***
  7591 
  7592 * uses \par instead of \\ for line breaks in theory text. This may
  7593 shift some page breaks in large documents. To get the old behaviour
  7594 use \renewcommand{\isanewline}{\mbox{}\\\mbox{}} in root.tex.
  7595 
  7596 * minimized dependencies of isabelle.sty and isabellesym.sty on
  7597 other packages
  7598 
  7599 * \<euro> now needs package babel/greek instead of marvosym (which
  7600 broke \Rightarrow)
  7601 
  7602 * normal size for \<zero>...\<nine> (uses \mathbf instead of
  7603 textcomp package)
  7604 
  7605 
  7606 
  7607 New in Isabelle2002 (March 2002)
  7608 --------------------------------
  7609 
  7610 *** Document preparation ***
  7611 
  7612 * greatly simplified document preparation setup, including more
  7613 graceful interpretation of isatool usedir -i/-d/-D options, and more
  7614 instructive isatool mkdir; users should basically be able to get
  7615 started with "isatool mkdir HOL Test && isatool make"; alternatively,
  7616 users may run a separate document processing stage manually like this:
  7617 "isatool usedir -D output HOL Test && isatool document Test/output";
  7618 
  7619 * theory dependency graph may now be incorporated into documents;
  7620 isatool usedir -g true will produce session_graph.eps/.pdf for use
  7621 with \includegraphics of LaTeX;
  7622 
  7623 * proper spacing of consecutive markup elements, especially text
  7624 blocks after section headings;
  7625 
  7626 * support bold style (for single symbols only), input syntax is like
  7627 this: "\<^bold>\<alpha>" or "\<^bold>A";
  7628 
  7629 * \<bullet> is now output as bold \cdot by default, which looks much
  7630 better in printed text;
  7631 
  7632 * added default LaTeX bindings for \<tturnstile> and \<TTurnstile>;
  7633 note that these symbols are currently unavailable in Proof General /
  7634 X-Symbol; new symbols \<zero>, \<one>, ..., \<nine>, and \<euro>;
  7635 
  7636 * isatool latex no longer depends on changed TEXINPUTS, instead
  7637 isatool document copies the Isabelle style files to the target
  7638 location;
  7639 
  7640 
  7641 *** Isar ***
  7642 
  7643 * Pure/Provers: improved proof by cases and induction;
  7644   - 'case' command admits impromptu naming of parameters (such as
  7645     "case (Suc n)");
  7646   - 'induct' method divinates rule instantiation from the inductive
  7647     claim; no longer requires excessive ?P bindings for proper
  7648     instantiation of cases;
  7649   - 'induct' method properly enumerates all possibilities of set/type
  7650     rules; as a consequence facts may be also passed through *type*
  7651     rules without further ado;
  7652   - 'induct' method now derives symbolic cases from the *rulified*
  7653     rule (before it used to rulify cases stemming from the internal
  7654     atomized version); this means that the context of a non-atomic
  7655     statement becomes is included in the hypothesis, avoiding the
  7656     slightly cumbersome show "PROP ?case" form;
  7657   - 'induct' may now use elim-style induction rules without chaining
  7658     facts, using ``missing'' premises from the goal state; this allows
  7659     rules stemming from inductive sets to be applied in unstructured
  7660     scripts, while still benefitting from proper handling of non-atomic
  7661     statements; NB: major inductive premises need to be put first, all
  7662     the rest of the goal is passed through the induction;
  7663   - 'induct' proper support for mutual induction involving non-atomic
  7664     rule statements (uses the new concept of simultaneous goals, see
  7665     below);
  7666   - append all possible rule selections, but only use the first
  7667     success (no backtracking);
  7668   - removed obsolete "(simplified)" and "(stripped)" options of methods;
  7669   - undeclared rule case names default to numbers 1, 2, 3, ...;
  7670   - added 'print_induct_rules' (covered by help item in recent Proof
  7671     General versions);
  7672   - moved induct/cases attributes to Pure, methods to Provers;
  7673   - generic method setup instantiated for FOL and HOL;
  7674 
  7675 * Pure: support multiple simultaneous goal statements, for example
  7676 "have a: A and b: B" (same for 'theorem' etc.); being a pure
  7677 meta-level mechanism, this acts as if several individual goals had
  7678 been stated separately; in particular common proof methods need to be
  7679 repeated in order to cover all claims; note that a single elimination
  7680 step is *not* sufficient to establish the two conjunctions, so this
  7681 fails:
  7682 
  7683   assume "A & B" then have A and B ..   (*".." fails*)
  7684 
  7685 better use "obtain" in situations as above; alternative refer to
  7686 multi-step methods like 'auto', 'simp_all', 'blast+' etc.;
  7687 
  7688 * Pure: proper integration with ``locales''; unlike the original
  7689 version by Florian Kammller, Isar locales package high-level proof
  7690 contexts rather than raw logical ones (e.g. we admit to include
  7691 attributes everywhere); operations on locales include merge and
  7692 rename; support for implicit arguments (``structures''); simultaneous
  7693 type-inference over imports and text; see also HOL/ex/Locales.thy for
  7694 some examples;
  7695 
  7696 * Pure: the following commands have been ``localized'', supporting a
  7697 target locale specification "(in name)": 'lemma', 'theorem',
  7698 'corollary', 'lemmas', 'theorems', 'declare'; the results will be
  7699 stored both within the locale and at the theory level (exported and
  7700 qualified by the locale name);
  7701 
  7702 * Pure: theory goals may now be specified in ``long'' form, with
  7703 ad-hoc contexts consisting of arbitrary locale elements. for example
  7704 ``lemma foo: fixes x assumes "A x" shows "B x"'' (local syntax and
  7705 definitions may be given, too); the result is a meta-level rule with
  7706 the context elements being discharged in the obvious way;
  7707 
  7708 * Pure: new proof command 'using' allows to augment currently used
  7709 facts after a goal statement ('using' is syntactically analogous to
  7710 'apply', but acts on the goal's facts only); this allows chained facts
  7711 to be separated into parts given before and after a claim, as in
  7712 ``from a and b have C using d and e <proof>'';
  7713 
  7714 * Pure: renamed "antecedent" case to "rule_context";
  7715 
  7716 * Pure: new 'judgment' command records explicit information about the
  7717 object-logic embedding (used by several tools internally); no longer
  7718 use hard-wired "Trueprop";
  7719 
  7720 * Pure: added 'corollary' command;
  7721 
  7722 * Pure: fixed 'token_translation' command;
  7723 
  7724 * Pure: removed obsolete 'exported' attribute;
  7725 
  7726 * Pure: dummy pattern "_" in is/let is now automatically lifted over
  7727 bound variables: "ALL x. P x --> Q x" (is "ALL x. _ --> ?C x")
  7728 supersedes more cumbersome ... (is "ALL x. _ x --> ?C x");
  7729 
  7730 * Pure: method 'atomize' presents local goal premises as object-level
  7731 statements (atomic meta-level propositions); setup controlled via
  7732 rewrite rules declarations of 'atomize' attribute; example
  7733 application: 'induct' method with proper rule statements in improper
  7734 proof *scripts*;
  7735 
  7736 * Pure: emulation of instantiation tactics (rule_tac, cut_tac, etc.)
  7737 now consider the syntactic context of assumptions, giving a better
  7738 chance to get type-inference of the arguments right (this is
  7739 especially important for locales);
  7740 
  7741 * Pure: "sorry" no longer requires quick_and_dirty in interactive
  7742 mode;
  7743 
  7744 * Pure/obtain: the formal conclusion "thesis", being marked as
  7745 ``internal'', may no longer be reference directly in the text;
  7746 potential INCOMPATIBILITY, may need to use "?thesis" in rare
  7747 situations;
  7748 
  7749 * Pure: generic 'sym' attribute which declares a rule both as pure
  7750 'elim?' and for the 'symmetric' operation;
  7751 
  7752 * Pure: marginal comments ``--'' may now occur just anywhere in the
  7753 text; the fixed correlation with particular command syntax has been
  7754 discontinued;
  7755 
  7756 * Pure: new method 'rules' is particularly well-suited for proof
  7757 search in intuitionistic logic; a bit slower than 'blast' or 'fast',
  7758 but often produces more compact proof terms with less detours;
  7759 
  7760 * Pure/Provers/classical: simplified integration with pure rule
  7761 attributes and methods; the classical "intro?/elim?/dest?"
  7762 declarations coincide with the pure ones; the "rule" method no longer
  7763 includes classically swapped intros; "intro" and "elim" methods no
  7764 longer pick rules from the context; also got rid of ML declarations
  7765 AddXIs/AddXEs/AddXDs; all of this has some potential for
  7766 INCOMPATIBILITY;
  7767 
  7768 * Provers/classical: attribute 'swapped' produces classical inversions
  7769 of introduction rules;
  7770 
  7771 * Provers/simplifier: 'simplified' attribute may refer to explicit
  7772 rules instead of full simplifier context; 'iff' attribute handles
  7773 conditional rules;
  7774 
  7775 * HOL: 'typedef' now allows alternative names for Rep/Abs morphisms;
  7776 
  7777 * HOL: 'recdef' now fails on unfinished automated proofs, use
  7778 "(permissive)" option to recover old behavior;
  7779 
  7780 * HOL: 'inductive' no longer features separate (collective) attributes
  7781 for 'intros' (was found too confusing);
  7782 
  7783 * HOL: properly declared induction rules less_induct and
  7784 wf_induct_rule;
  7785 
  7786 
  7787 *** HOL ***
  7788 
  7789 * HOL: moved over to sane numeral syntax; the new policy is as
  7790 follows:
  7791 
  7792   - 0 and 1 are polymorphic constants, which are defined on any
  7793   numeric type (nat, int, real etc.);
  7794 
  7795   - 2, 3, 4, ... and -1, -2, -3, ... are polymorphic numerals, based
  7796   binary representation internally;
  7797 
  7798   - type nat has special constructor Suc, and generally prefers Suc 0
  7799   over 1::nat and Suc (Suc 0) over 2::nat;
  7800 
  7801 This change may cause significant problems of INCOMPATIBILITY; here
  7802 are some hints on converting existing sources:
  7803 
  7804   - due to the new "num" token, "-0" and "-1" etc. are now atomic
  7805   entities, so expressions involving "-" (unary or binary minus) need
  7806   to be spaced properly;
  7807 
  7808   - existing occurrences of "1" may need to be constraint "1::nat" or
  7809   even replaced by Suc 0; similar for old "2";
  7810 
  7811   - replace "#nnn" by "nnn", and "#-nnn" by "-nnn";
  7812 
  7813   - remove all special provisions on numerals in proofs;
  7814 
  7815 * HOL: simp rules nat_number expand numerals on nat to Suc/0
  7816 representation (depends on bin_arith_simps in the default context);
  7817 
  7818 * HOL: symbolic syntax for x^2 (numeral 2);
  7819 
  7820 * HOL: the class of all HOL types is now called "type" rather than
  7821 "term"; INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt references to this type class
  7822 in axclass/classes, instance/arities, and (usually rare) occurrences
  7823 in typings (of consts etc.); internally the class is called
  7824 "HOL.type", ML programs should refer to HOLogic.typeS;
  7825 
  7826 * HOL/record package improvements:
  7827   - new derived operations "fields" to build a partial record section,
  7828     "extend" to promote a fixed record to a record scheme, and
  7829     "truncate" for the reverse; cf. theorems "xxx.defs", which are *not*
  7830     declared as simp by default;
  7831   - shared operations ("more", "fields", etc.) now need to be always
  7832     qualified) --- potential INCOMPATIBILITY;
  7833   - removed "make_scheme" operations (use "make" with "extend") --
  7834     INCOMPATIBILITY;
  7835   - removed "more" class (simply use "term") -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  7836   - provides cases/induct rules for use with corresponding Isar
  7837     methods (for concrete records, record schemes, concrete more
  7838     parts, and schematic more parts -- in that order);
  7839   - internal definitions directly based on a light-weight abstract
  7840     theory of product types over typedef rather than datatype;
  7841 
  7842 * HOL: generic code generator for generating executable ML code from
  7843 specifications; specific support for HOL constructs such as inductive
  7844 datatypes and sets, as well as recursive functions; can be invoked
  7845 via 'generate_code' theory section;
  7846 
  7847 * HOL: canonical cases/induct rules for n-tuples (n = 3..7);
  7848 
  7849 * HOL: consolidated and renamed several theories.  In particular:
  7850         Ord.thy has been absorbed into HOL.thy
  7851         String.thy has been absorbed into List.thy
  7852 
  7853 * HOL: concrete setsum syntax "\<Sum>i:A. b" == "setsum (%i. b) A"
  7854 (beware of argument permutation!);
  7855 
  7856 * HOL: linorder_less_split superseded by linorder_cases;
  7857 
  7858 * HOL/List: "nodups" renamed to "distinct";
  7859 
  7860 * HOL: added "The" definite description operator; move Hilbert's "Eps"
  7861 to peripheral theory "Hilbert_Choice"; some INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  7862   - Ex_def has changed, now need to use some_eq_ex
  7863 
  7864 * HOL: made split_all_tac safe; EXISTING PROOFS MAY FAIL OR LOOP, so
  7865 in this (rare) case use:
  7866 
  7867   delSWrapper "split_all_tac"
  7868   addSbefore ("unsafe_split_all_tac", unsafe_split_all_tac)
  7869 
  7870 * HOL: added safe wrapper "split_conv_tac" to claset; EXISTING PROOFS
  7871 MAY FAIL;
  7872 
  7873 * HOL: introduced f^n = f o ... o f; warning: due to the limits of
  7874 Isabelle's type classes, ^ on functions and relations has too general
  7875 a domain, namely ('a * 'b) set and 'a => 'b; this means that it may be
  7876 necessary to attach explicit type constraints;
  7877 
  7878 * HOL/Relation: the prefix name of the infix "O" has been changed from
  7879 "comp" to "rel_comp"; INCOMPATIBILITY: a few theorems have been
  7880 renamed accordingly (eg "compI" -> "rel_compI").
  7881 
  7882 * HOL: syntax translations now work properly with numerals and records
  7883 expressions;
  7884 
  7885 * HOL: bounded abstraction now uses syntax "%" / "\<lambda>" instead
  7886 of "lam" -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  7887 
  7888 * HOL: got rid of some global declarations (potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  7889 for ML tools): const "()" renamed "Product_Type.Unity", type "unit"
  7890 renamed "Product_Type.unit";
  7891 
  7892 * HOL: renamed rtrancl_into_rtrancl2 to converse_rtrancl_into_rtrancl
  7893 
  7894 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem "optionE" (use "option.exhaust", or
  7895 the "cases" method);
  7896 
  7897 * HOL/GroupTheory: group theory examples including Sylow's theorem (by
  7898 Florian Kammller);
  7899 
  7900 * HOL/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory format; several
  7901 parts turned into readable document, with proper Isar proof texts and
  7902 some explanations (by Gerwin Klein);
  7903 
  7904 * HOL-Real: added Complex_Numbers (by Gertrud Bauer);
  7905 
  7906 * HOL-Hyperreal is now a logic image;
  7907 
  7908 
  7909 *** HOLCF ***
  7910 
  7911 * Isar: consts/constdefs supports mixfix syntax for continuous
  7912 operations;
  7913 
  7914 * Isar: domain package adapted to new-style theory format, e.g. see
  7915 HOLCF/ex/Dnat.thy;
  7916 
  7917 * theory Lift: proper use of rep_datatype lift instead of ML hacks --
  7918 potential INCOMPATIBILITY; now use plain induct_tac instead of former
  7919 lift.induct_tac, always use UU instead of Undef;
  7920 
  7921 * HOLCF/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory;
  7922 
  7923 
  7924 *** ZF ***
  7925 
  7926 * Isar: proper integration of logic-specific tools and packages,
  7927 including theory commands '(co)inductive', '(co)datatype',
  7928 'rep_datatype', 'inductive_cases', as well as methods 'ind_cases',
  7929 'induct_tac', 'case_tac', and 'typecheck' (with attribute 'TC');
  7930 
  7931 * theory Main no longer includes AC; for the Axiom of Choice, base
  7932 your theory on Main_ZFC;
  7933 
  7934 * the integer library now covers quotients and remainders, with many
  7935 laws relating division to addition, multiplication, etc.;
  7936 
  7937 * ZF/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY is now available in ZF, giving a
  7938 typeless version of the formalism;
  7939 
  7940 * ZF/AC, Coind, IMP, Resid: updated and converted to new-style theory
  7941 format;
  7942 
  7943 * ZF/Induct: new directory for examples of inductive definitions,
  7944 including theory Multiset for multiset orderings; converted to
  7945 new-style theory format;
  7946 
  7947 * ZF: many new theorems about lists, ordinals, etc.;
  7948 
  7949 
  7950 *** General ***
  7951 
  7952 * Pure/kernel: meta-level proof terms (by Stefan Berghofer); reference
  7953 variable proof controls level of detail: 0 = no proofs (only oracle
  7954 dependencies), 1 = lemma dependencies, 2 = compact proof terms; see
  7955 also ref manual for further ML interfaces;
  7956 
  7957 * Pure/axclass: removed obsolete ML interface
  7958 goal_subclass/goal_arity;
  7959 
  7960 * Pure/syntax: new token syntax "num" for plain numerals (without "#"
  7961 of "xnum"); potential INCOMPATIBILITY, since -0, -1 etc. are now
  7962 separate tokens, so expressions involving minus need to be spaced
  7963 properly;
  7964 
  7965 * Pure/syntax: support non-oriented infixes, using keyword "infix"
  7966 rather than "infixl" or "infixr";
  7967 
  7968 * Pure/syntax: concrete syntax for dummy type variables admits genuine
  7969 sort constraint specifications in type inference; e.g. "x::_::foo"
  7970 ensures that the type of "x" is of sort "foo" (but not necessarily a
  7971 type variable);
  7972 
  7973 * Pure/syntax: print modes "type_brackets" and "no_type_brackets"
  7974 control output of nested => (types); the default behavior is
  7975 "type_brackets";
  7976 
  7977 * Pure/syntax: builtin parse translation for "_constify" turns valued
  7978 tokens into AST constants;
  7979 
  7980 * Pure/syntax: prefer later declarations of translations and print
  7981 translation functions; potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to reverse
  7982 multiple declarations for same syntax element constant;
  7983 
  7984 * Pure/show_hyps reset by default (in accordance to existing Isar
  7985 practice);
  7986 
  7987 * Provers/classical: renamed addaltern to addafter, addSaltern to
  7988 addSafter;
  7989 
  7990 * Provers/clasimp: ``iff'' declarations now handle conditional rules
  7991 as well;
  7992 
  7993 * system: tested support for MacOS X; should be able to get Isabelle +
  7994 Proof General to work in a plain Terminal after installing Poly/ML
  7995 (e.g. from the Isabelle distribution area) and GNU bash alone
  7996 (e.g. from http://www.apple.com); full X11, XEmacs and X-Symbol
  7997 support requires further installations, e.g. from
  7998 http://fink.sourceforge.net/);
  7999 
  8000 * system: support Poly/ML 4.1.1 (able to manage larger heaps);
  8001 
  8002 * system: reduced base memory usage by Poly/ML (approx. 20 MB instead
  8003 of 40 MB), cf. ML_OPTIONS;
  8004 
  8005 * system: Proof General keywords specification is now part of the
  8006 Isabelle distribution (see etc/isar-keywords.el);
  8007 
  8008 * system: support for persistent Proof General sessions (refrain from
  8009 outdating all loaded theories on startup); user may create writable
  8010 logic images like this: ``isabelle -q HOL Test'';
  8011 
  8012 * system: smart selection of Isabelle process versus Isabelle
  8013 interface, accommodates case-insensitive file systems (e.g. HFS+); may
  8014 run both "isabelle" and "Isabelle" even if file names are badly
  8015 damaged (executable inspects the case of the first letter of its own
  8016 name); added separate "isabelle-process" and "isabelle-interface";
  8017 
  8018 * system: refrain from any attempt at filtering input streams; no
  8019 longer support ``8bit'' encoding of old isabelle font, instead proper
  8020 iso-latin characters may now be used; the related isatools
  8021 "symbolinput" and "nonascii" have disappeared as well;
  8022 
  8023 * system: removed old "xterm" interface (the print modes "xterm" and
  8024 "xterm_color" are still available for direct use in a suitable
  8025 terminal);
  8026 
  8027 
  8028 
  8029 New in Isabelle99-2 (February 2001)
  8030 -----------------------------------
  8031 
  8032 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  8033 
  8034 * HOL: please note that theories in the Library and elsewhere often use the
  8035 new-style (Isar) format; to refer to their theorems in an ML script you must
  8036 bind them to ML identifers by e.g.      val thm_name = thm "thm_name";
  8037 
  8038 * HOL: inductive package no longer splits induction rule aggressively,
  8039 but only as far as specified by the introductions given; the old
  8040 format may be recovered via ML function complete_split_rule or attribute
  8041 'split_rule (complete)';
  8042 
  8043 * HOL: induct renamed to lfp_induct, lfp_Tarski to lfp_unfold,
  8044 gfp_Tarski to gfp_unfold;
  8045 
  8046 * HOL: contrapos, contrapos2 renamed to contrapos_nn, contrapos_pp;
  8047 
  8048 * HOL: infix "dvd" now has priority 50 rather than 70 (because it is a
  8049 relation); infix "^^" has been renamed "``"; infix "``" has been
  8050 renamed "`"; "univalent" has been renamed "single_valued";
  8051 
  8052 * HOL/Real: "rinv" and "hrinv" replaced by overloaded "inverse"
  8053 operation;
  8054 
  8055 * HOLCF: infix "`" has been renamed "$"; the symbol syntax is \<cdot>;
  8056 
  8057 * Isar: 'obtain' no longer declares "that" fact as simp/intro;
  8058 
  8059 * Isar/HOL: method 'induct' now handles non-atomic goals; as a
  8060 consequence, it is no longer monotonic wrt. the local goal context
  8061 (which is now passed through the inductive cases);
  8062 
  8063 * Document preparation: renamed standard symbols \<ll> to \<lless> and
  8064 \<gg> to \<ggreater>;
  8065 
  8066 
  8067 *** Document preparation ***
  8068 
  8069 * \isabellestyle{NAME} selects version of Isabelle output (currently
  8070 available: are "it" for near math-mode best-style output, "sl" for
  8071 slanted text style, and "tt" for plain type-writer; if no
  8072 \isabellestyle command is given, output is according to slanted
  8073 type-writer);
  8074 
  8075 * support sub/super scripts (for single symbols only), input syntax is
  8076 like this: "A\<^sup>*" or "A\<^sup>\<star>";
  8077 
  8078 * some more standard symbols; see Appendix A of the system manual for
  8079 the complete list of symbols defined in isabellesym.sty;
  8080 
  8081 * improved isabelle style files; more abstract symbol implementation
  8082 (should now use \isamath{...} and \isatext{...} in custom symbol
  8083 definitions);
  8084 
  8085 * antiquotation @{goals} and @{subgoals} for output of *dynamic* goals
  8086 state; Note that presentation of goal states does not conform to
  8087 actual human-readable proof documents.  Please do not include goal
  8088 states into document output unless you really know what you are doing!
  8089 
  8090 * proper indentation of antiquoted output with proportional LaTeX
  8091 fonts;
  8092 
  8093 * no_document ML operator temporarily disables LaTeX document
  8094 generation;
  8095 
  8096 * isatool unsymbolize tunes sources for plain ASCII communication;
  8097 
  8098 
  8099 *** Isar ***
  8100 
  8101 * Pure: Isar now suffers initial goal statements to contain unbound
  8102 schematic variables (this does not conform to actual readable proof
  8103 documents, due to unpredictable outcome and non-compositional proof
  8104 checking); users who know what they are doing may use schematic goals
  8105 for Prolog-style synthesis of proven results;
  8106 
  8107 * Pure: assumption method (an implicit finishing) now handles actual
  8108 rules as well;
  8109 
  8110 * Pure: improved 'obtain' --- moved to Pure, insert "that" into
  8111 initial goal, declare "that" only as Pure intro (only for single
  8112 steps); the "that" rule assumption may now be involved in implicit
  8113 finishing, thus ".." becomes a feasible for trivial obtains;
  8114 
  8115 * Pure: default proof step now includes 'intro_classes'; thus trivial
  8116 instance proofs may be performed by "..";
  8117 
  8118 * Pure: ?thesis / ?this / "..." now work for pure meta-level
  8119 statements as well;
  8120 
  8121 * Pure: more robust selection of calculational rules;
  8122 
  8123 * Pure: the builtin notion of 'finished' goal now includes the ==-refl
  8124 rule (as well as the assumption rule);
  8125 
  8126 * Pure: 'thm_deps' command visualizes dependencies of theorems and
  8127 lemmas, using the graph browser tool;
  8128 
  8129 * Pure: predict failure of "show" in interactive mode;
  8130 
  8131 * Pure: 'thms_containing' now takes actual terms as arguments;
  8132 
  8133 * HOL: improved method 'induct' --- now handles non-atomic goals
  8134 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY); tuned error handling;
  8135 
  8136 * HOL: cases and induct rules now provide explicit hints about the
  8137 number of facts to be consumed (0 for "type" and 1 for "set" rules);
  8138 any remaining facts are inserted into the goal verbatim;
  8139 
  8140 * HOL: local contexts (aka cases) may now contain term bindings as
  8141 well; the 'cases' and 'induct' methods new provide a ?case binding for
  8142 the result to be shown in each case;
  8143 
  8144 * HOL: added 'recdef_tc' command;
  8145 
  8146 * isatool convert assists in eliminating legacy ML scripts;
  8147 
  8148 
  8149 *** HOL ***
  8150 
  8151 * HOL/Library: a collection of generic theories to be used together
  8152 with main HOL; the theory loader path already includes this directory
  8153 by default; the following existing theories have been moved here:
  8154 HOL/Induct/Multiset, HOL/Induct/Acc (as Accessible_Part), HOL/While
  8155 (as While_Combinator), HOL/Lex/Prefix (as List_Prefix);
  8156 
  8157 * HOL/Unix: "Some aspects of Unix file-system security", a typical
  8158 modelling and verification task performed in Isabelle/HOL +
  8159 Isabelle/Isar + Isabelle document preparation (by Markus Wenzel).
  8160 
  8161 * HOL/Algebra: special summation operator SUM no longer exists, it has
  8162 been replaced by setsum; infix 'assoc' now has priority 50 (like
  8163 'dvd'); axiom 'one_not_zero' has been moved from axclass 'ring' to
  8164 'domain', this makes the theory consistent with mathematical
  8165 literature;
  8166 
  8167 * HOL basics: added overloaded operations "inverse" and "divide"
  8168 (infix "/"), syntax for generic "abs" operation, generic summation
  8169 operator \<Sum>;
  8170 
  8171 * HOL/typedef: simplified package, provide more useful rules (see also
  8172 HOL/subset.thy);
  8173 
  8174 * HOL/datatype: induction rule for arbitrarily branching datatypes is
  8175 now expressed as a proper nested rule (old-style tactic scripts may
  8176 require atomize_strip_tac to cope with non-atomic premises);
  8177 
  8178 * HOL: renamed theory "Prod" to "Product_Type", renamed "split" rule
  8179 to "split_conv" (old name still available for compatibility);
  8180 
  8181 * HOL: improved concrete syntax for strings (e.g. allows translation
  8182 rules with string literals);
  8183 
  8184 * HOL-Real-Hyperreal: this extends HOL-Real with the hyperreals
  8185  and Fleuriot's mechanization of analysis, including the transcendental
  8186  functions for the reals;
  8187 
  8188 * HOL/Real, HOL/Hyperreal: improved arithmetic simplification;
  8189 
  8190 
  8191 *** CTT ***
  8192 
  8193 * CTT: x-symbol support for Pi, Sigma, -->, : (membership); note that
  8194 "lam" is displayed as TWO lambda-symbols
  8195 
  8196 * CTT: theory Main now available, containing everything (that is, Bool
  8197 and Arith);
  8198 
  8199 
  8200 *** General ***
  8201 
  8202 * Pure: the Simplifier has been implemented properly as a derived rule
  8203 outside of the actual kernel (at last!); the overall performance
  8204 penalty in practical applications is about 50%, while reliability of
  8205 the Isabelle inference kernel has been greatly improved;
  8206 
  8207 * print modes "brackets" and "no_brackets" control output of nested =>
  8208 (types) and ==> (props); the default behaviour is "brackets";
  8209 
  8210 * Provers: fast_tac (and friends) now handle actual object-logic rules
  8211 as assumptions as well;
  8212 
  8213 * system: support Poly/ML 4.0;
  8214 
  8215 * system: isatool install handles KDE version 1 or 2;
  8216 
  8217 
  8218 
  8219 New in Isabelle99-1 (October 2000)
  8220 ----------------------------------
  8221 
  8222 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  8223 
  8224 * HOL: simplification of natural numbers is much changed; to partly
  8225 recover the old behaviour (e.g. to prevent n+n rewriting to #2*n)
  8226 issue the following ML commands:
  8227 
  8228   Delsimprocs Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.cancel_numerals;
  8229   Delsimprocs [Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.combine_numerals];
  8230 
  8231 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions; this is
  8232 controlled by "t.weak_case_cong" for each datatype t;
  8233 
  8234 * HOL: nat_less_induct renamed to less_induct;
  8235 
  8236 * HOL: systematic renaming of the SOME (Eps) rules, may use isatool
  8237 fixsome to patch .thy and .ML sources automatically;
  8238 
  8239   select_equality  -> some_equality
  8240   select_eq_Ex     -> some_eq_ex
  8241   selectI2EX       -> someI2_ex
  8242   selectI2         -> someI2
  8243   selectI          -> someI
  8244   select1_equality -> some1_equality
  8245   Eps_sym_eq       -> some_sym_eq_trivial
  8246   Eps_eq           -> some_eq_trivial
  8247 
  8248 * HOL: exhaust_tac on datatypes superceded by new generic case_tac;
  8249 
  8250 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem binding expand_if (refer to split_if
  8251 instead);
  8252 
  8253 * HOL: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' are now called
  8254 f.simps instead of f.rules;
  8255 
  8256 * HOL: qed_spec_mp now also handles bounded ALL as well;
  8257 
  8258 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded, so the type constraint ":: nat" may
  8259 sometimes be needed;
  8260 
  8261 * HOL: the constant for "f``x" is now "image" rather than "op ``";
  8262 
  8263 * HOL: the constant for "f-``x" is now "vimage" rather than "op -``";
  8264 
  8265 * HOL: the disjoint sum is now "<+>" instead of "Plus"; the cartesian
  8266 product is now "<*>" instead of "Times"; the lexicographic product is
  8267 now "<*lex*>" instead of "**";
  8268 
  8269 * HOL: theory Sexp is now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part
  8270 of main HOL, but was unused); better use HOL's datatype package;
  8271 
  8272 * HOL: removed "symbols" syntax for constant "override" of theory Map;
  8273 the old syntax may be recovered as follows:
  8274 
  8275   syntax (symbols)
  8276     override  :: "('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b)"
  8277       (infixl "\\<oplus>" 100)
  8278 
  8279 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
  8280 
  8281 * HOL/ML: even fewer consts are declared as global (see theories Ord,
  8282 Lfp, Gfp, WF); this only affects ML packages that refer to const names
  8283 internally;
  8284 
  8285 * HOL and ZF: syntax for quotienting wrt an equivalence relation
  8286 changed from A/r to A//r;
  8287 
  8288 * ZF: new treatment of arithmetic (nat & int) may break some old
  8289 proofs;
  8290 
  8291 * Isar: renamed some attributes (RS -> THEN, simplify -> simplified,
  8292 rulify -> rule_format, elimify -> elim_format, ...);
  8293 
  8294 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
  8295 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (in most cases, one
  8296 should have to change intro!! to intro? only); replaced "delrule" by
  8297 "rule del";
  8298 
  8299 * Isar/HOL: renamed "intrs" to "intros" in inductive definitions;
  8300 
  8301 * Provers: strengthened force_tac by using new first_best_tac;
  8302 
  8303 * LaTeX document preparation: several changes of isabelle.sty (see
  8304 lib/texinputs);
  8305 
  8306 
  8307 *** Document preparation ***
  8308 
  8309 * formal comments (text blocks etc.) in new-style theories may now
  8310 contain antiquotations of thm/prop/term/typ/text to be presented
  8311 according to latex print mode; concrete syntax is like this:
  8312 @{term[show_types] "f(x) = a + x"};
  8313 
  8314 * isatool mkdir provides easy setup of Isabelle session directories,
  8315 including proper document sources;
  8316 
  8317 * generated LaTeX sources are now deleted after successful run
  8318 (isatool document -c); may retain a copy somewhere else via -D option
  8319 of isatool usedir;
  8320 
  8321 * isatool usedir -D now lets isatool latex -o sty update the Isabelle
  8322 style files, achieving self-contained LaTeX sources and simplifying
  8323 LaTeX debugging;
  8324 
  8325 * old-style theories now produce (crude) LaTeX output as well;
  8326 
  8327 * browser info session directories are now self-contained (may be put
  8328 on WWW server seperately); improved graphs of nested sessions; removed
  8329 graph for 'all sessions';
  8330 
  8331 * several improvements in isabelle style files; \isabellestyle{it}
  8332 produces fake math mode output; \isamarkupheader is now \section by
  8333 default; see lib/texinputs/isabelle.sty etc.;
  8334 
  8335 
  8336 *** Isar ***
  8337 
  8338 * Isar/Pure: local results and corresponding term bindings are now
  8339 subject to Hindley-Milner polymorphism (similar to ML); this
  8340 accommodates incremental type-inference very nicely;
  8341 
  8342 * Isar/Pure: new derived language element 'obtain' supports
  8343 generalized existence reasoning;
  8344 
  8345 * Isar/Pure: new calculational elements 'moreover' and 'ultimately'
  8346 support accumulation of results, without applying any rules yet;
  8347 useful to collect intermediate results without explicit name
  8348 references, and for use with transitivity rules with more than 2
  8349 premises;
  8350 
  8351 * Isar/Pure: scalable support for case-analysis type proofs: new
  8352 'case' language element refers to local contexts symbolically, as
  8353 produced by certain proof methods; internally, case names are attached
  8354 to theorems as "tags";
  8355 
  8356 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'hide' removes declarations from
  8357 class/type/const name spaces;
  8358 
  8359 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'defs' supports option "(overloaded)" to
  8360 indicate potential overloading;
  8361 
  8362 * Isar/Pure: changed syntax of local blocks from {{ }} to { };
  8363 
  8364 * Isar/Pure: syntax of sorts made 'inner', i.e. have to write
  8365 "{a,b,c}" instead of {a,b,c};
  8366 
  8367 * Isar/Pure now provides its own version of intro/elim/dest
  8368 attributes; useful for building new logics, but beware of confusion
  8369 with the version in Provers/classical;
  8370 
  8371 * Isar/Pure: the local context of (non-atomic) goals is provided via
  8372 case name 'antecedent';
  8373 
  8374 * Isar/Pure: removed obsolete 'transfer' attribute (transfer of thms
  8375 to the current context is now done automatically);
  8376 
  8377 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'method_setup' provides a simple interface
  8378 for definining proof methods in ML;
  8379 
  8380 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
  8381 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  8382 most cases, one should have to change intro!! to intro? only);
  8383 replaced "delrule" by "rule del";
  8384 
  8385 * Isar/Provers: new 'hypsubst' method, plain 'subst' method and
  8386 'symmetric' attribute (the latter supercedes [RS sym]);
  8387 
  8388 * Isar/Provers: splitter support (via 'split' attribute and 'simp'
  8389 method modifier); 'simp' method: 'only:' modifier removes loopers as
  8390 well (including splits);
  8391 
  8392 * Isar/Provers: Simplifier and Classical methods now support all kind
  8393 of modifiers used in the past, including 'cong', 'iff', etc.
  8394 
  8395 * Isar/Provers: added 'fastsimp' and 'clarsimp' methods (combination
  8396 of Simplifier and Classical reasoner);
  8397 
  8398 * Isar/HOL: new proof method 'cases' and improved version of 'induct'
  8399 now support named cases; major packages (inductive, datatype, primrec,
  8400 recdef) support case names and properly name parameters;
  8401 
  8402 * Isar/HOL: new transitivity rules for substitution in inequalities --
  8403 monotonicity conditions are extracted to be proven at end of
  8404 calculations;
  8405 
  8406 * Isar/HOL: removed 'case_split' thm binding, should use 'cases' proof
  8407 method anyway;
  8408 
  8409 * Isar/HOL: removed old expand_if = split_if; theorems if_splits =
  8410 split_if split_if_asm; datatype package provides theorems foo.splits =
  8411 foo.split foo.split_asm for each datatype;
  8412 
  8413 * Isar/HOL: tuned inductive package, rename "intrs" to "intros"
  8414 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY), emulation of mk_cases feature for proof
  8415 scripts: new 'inductive_cases' command and 'ind_cases' method; (Note:
  8416 use "(cases (simplified))" method in proper proof texts);
  8417 
  8418 * Isar/HOL: added global 'arith_split' attribute for 'arith' method;
  8419 
  8420 * Isar: names of theorems etc. may be natural numbers as well;
  8421 
  8422 * Isar: 'pr' command: optional arguments for goals_limit and
  8423 ProofContext.prems_limit; no longer prints theory contexts, but only
  8424 proof states;
  8425 
  8426 * Isar: diagnostic commands 'pr', 'thm', 'prop', 'term', 'typ' admit
  8427 additional print modes to be specified; e.g. "pr(latex)" will print
  8428 proof state according to the Isabelle LaTeX style;
  8429 
  8430 * Isar: improved support for emulating tactic scripts, including proof
  8431 methods 'rule_tac' etc., 'cut_tac', 'thin_tac', 'subgoal_tac',
  8432 'rename_tac', 'rotate_tac', 'tactic', and 'case_tac' / 'induct_tac'
  8433 (for HOL datatypes);
  8434 
  8435 * Isar: simplified (more robust) goal selection of proof methods: 1st
  8436 goal, all goals, or explicit goal specifier (tactic emulation); thus
  8437 'proof method scripts' have to be in depth-first order;
  8438 
  8439 * Isar: tuned 'let' syntax: replaced 'as' keyword by 'and';
  8440 
  8441 * Isar: removed 'help' command, which hasn't been too helpful anyway;
  8442 should instead use individual commands for printing items
  8443 (print_commands, print_methods etc.);
  8444 
  8445 * Isar: added 'nothing' --- the empty list of theorems;
  8446 
  8447 
  8448 *** HOL ***
  8449 
  8450 * HOL/MicroJava: formalization of a fragment of Java, together with a
  8451 corresponding virtual machine and a specification of its bytecode
  8452 verifier and a lightweight bytecode verifier, including proofs of
  8453 type-safety; by Gerwin Klein, Tobias Nipkow, David von Oheimb, and
  8454 Cornelia Pusch (see also the homepage of project Bali at
  8455 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Bali/);
  8456 
  8457 * HOL/Algebra: new theory of rings and univariate polynomials, by
  8458 Clemens Ballarin;
  8459 
  8460 * HOL/NumberTheory: fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, Chinese
  8461 Remainder Theorem, Fermat/Euler Theorem, Wilson's Theorem, by Thomas M
  8462 Rasmussen;
  8463 
  8464 * HOL/Lattice: fundamental concepts of lattice theory and order
  8465 structures, including duals, properties of bounds versus algebraic
  8466 laws, lattice operations versus set-theoretic ones, the Knaster-Tarski
  8467 Theorem for complete lattices etc.; may also serve as a demonstration
  8468 for abstract algebraic reasoning using axiomatic type classes, and
  8469 mathematics-style proof in Isabelle/Isar; by Markus Wenzel;
  8470 
  8471 * HOL/Prolog: a (bare-bones) implementation of Lambda-Prolog, by David
  8472 von Oheimb;
  8473 
  8474 * HOL/IMPP: extension of IMP with local variables and mutually
  8475 recursive procedures, by David von Oheimb;
  8476 
  8477 * HOL/Lambda: converted into new-style theory and document;
  8478 
  8479 * HOL/ex/Multiquote: example of multiple nested quotations and
  8480 anti-quotations -- basically a generalized version of de-Bruijn
  8481 representation; very useful in avoiding lifting of operations;
  8482 
  8483 * HOL/record: added general record equality rule to simpset; fixed
  8484 select-update simplification procedure to handle extended records as
  8485 well; admit "r" as field name;
  8486 
  8487 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded over the new sort "zero", allowing its use with
  8488 other numeric types and also as the identity of groups, rings, etc.;
  8489 
  8490 * HOL: new axclass plus_ac0 for addition with the AC-laws and 0 as identity.
  8491 Types nat and int belong to this axclass;
  8492 
  8493 * HOL: greatly improved simplification involving numerals of type nat, int, real:
  8494    (i + #8 + j) = Suc k simplifies to  #7 + (i + j) = k
  8495    i*j + k + j*#3*i     simplifies to  #4*(i*j) + k
  8496   two terms #m*u and #n*u are replaced by #(m+n)*u
  8497     (where #m, #n and u can implicitly be 1; this is simproc combine_numerals)
  8498   and the term/formula #m*u+x ~~ #n*u+y simplifies simplifies to #(m-n)+x ~~ y
  8499     or x ~~ #(n-m)+y, where ~~ is one of = < <= or - (simproc cancel_numerals);
  8500 
  8501 * HOL: meson_tac is available (previously in ex/meson.ML); it is a
  8502 powerful prover for predicate logic but knows nothing of clasets; see
  8503 ex/mesontest.ML and ex/mesontest2.ML for example applications;
  8504 
  8505 * HOL: new version of "case_tac" subsumes both boolean case split and
  8506 "exhaust_tac" on datatypes; INCOMPATIBILITY: exhaust_tac no longer
  8507 exists, may define val exhaust_tac = case_tac for ad-hoc portability;
  8508 
  8509 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions: only the
  8510 selector expression is simplified, but not the remaining arms; to
  8511 enable full simplification of case-expressions for datatype t, you may
  8512 remove t.weak_case_cong from the simpset, either globally (Delcongs
  8513 [thm"t.weak_case_cong"];) or locally (delcongs [...]).
  8514 
  8515 * HOL/recdef: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' for
  8516 function 'f' are now called f.simps instead of f.rules; if all
  8517 termination conditions are proved automatically, these simplification
  8518 rules are added to the simpset, as in primrec; rules may be named
  8519 individually as well, resulting in a separate list of theorems for
  8520 each equation;
  8521 
  8522 * HOL/While is a new theory that provides a while-combinator. It
  8523 permits the definition of tail-recursive functions without the
  8524 provision of a termination measure. The latter is necessary once the
  8525 invariant proof rule for while is applied.
  8526 
  8527 * HOL: new (overloaded) notation for the set of elements below/above
  8528 some element: {..u}, {..u(}, {l..}, {)l..}. See theory SetInterval.
  8529 
  8530 * HOL: theorems impI, allI, ballI bound as "strip";
  8531 
  8532 * HOL: new tactic induct_thm_tac: thm -> string -> int -> tactic
  8533 induct_tac th "x1 ... xn" expects th to have a conclusion of the form
  8534 P v1 ... vn and abbreviates res_inst_tac [("v1","x1"),...,("vn","xn")] th;
  8535 
  8536 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
  8537 
  8538 * HOL: theory Sexp now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part of
  8539 main HOL, but was unused);
  8540 
  8541 * HOL: fewer consts declared as global (e.g. have to refer to
  8542 "Lfp.lfp" instead of "lfp" internally; affects ML packages only);
  8543 
  8544 * HOL: tuned AST representation of nested pairs, avoiding bogus output
  8545 in case of overlap with user translations (e.g. judgements over
  8546 tuples); (note that the underlying logical represenation is still
  8547 bogus);
  8548 
  8549 
  8550 *** ZF ***
  8551 
  8552 * ZF: simplification automatically cancels common terms in arithmetic
  8553 expressions over nat and int;
  8554 
  8555 * ZF: new treatment of nat to minimize type-checking: all operators
  8556 coerce their operands to a natural number using the function natify,
  8557 making the algebraic laws unconditional;
  8558 
  8559 * ZF: as above, for int: operators coerce their operands to an integer
  8560 using the function intify;
  8561 
  8562 * ZF: the integer library now contains many of the usual laws for the
  8563 orderings, including $<=, and monotonicity laws for $+ and $*;
  8564 
  8565 * ZF: new example ZF/ex/NatSum to demonstrate integer arithmetic
  8566 simplification;
  8567 
  8568 * FOL and ZF: AddIffs now available, giving theorems of the form P<->Q
  8569 to the simplifier and classical reasoner simultaneously;
  8570 
  8571 
  8572 *** General ***
  8573 
  8574 * Provers: blast_tac now handles actual object-logic rules as
  8575 assumptions; note that auto_tac uses blast_tac internally as well;
  8576 
  8577 * Provers: new functions rulify/rulify_no_asm: thm -> thm for turning
  8578 outer -->/All/Ball into ==>/!!; qed_spec_mp now uses rulify_no_asm;
  8579 
  8580 * Provers: delrules now handles destruct rules as well (no longer need
  8581 explicit make_elim);
  8582 
  8583 * Provers: Blast_tac now warns of and ignores "weak elimination rules" e.g.
  8584   [| inj ?f;          ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
  8585 use instead the strong form,
  8586   [| inj ?f; ~ ?W ==> ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
  8587 in HOL, FOL and ZF the function cla_make_elim will create such rules
  8588 from destruct-rules;
  8589 
  8590 * Provers: Simplifier.easy_setup provides a fast path to basic
  8591 Simplifier setup for new object-logics;
  8592 
  8593 * Pure: AST translation rules no longer require constant head on LHS;
  8594 
  8595 * Pure: improved name spaces: ambiguous output is qualified; support
  8596 for hiding of names;
  8597 
  8598 * system: smart setup of canonical ML_HOME, ISABELLE_INTERFACE, and
  8599 XSYMBOL_HOME; no longer need to do manual configuration in most
  8600 situations;
  8601 
  8602 * system: compression of ML heaps images may now be controlled via -c
  8603 option of isabelle and isatool usedir (currently only observed by
  8604 Poly/ML);
  8605 
  8606 * system: isatool installfonts may handle X-Symbol fonts as well (very
  8607 useful for remote X11);
  8608 
  8609 * system: provide TAGS file for Isabelle sources;
  8610 
  8611 * ML: infix 'OF' is a version of 'MRS' with more appropriate argument
  8612 order;
  8613 
  8614 * ML: renamed flags Syntax.trace_norm_ast to Syntax.trace_ast; global
  8615 timing flag supersedes proof_timing and Toplevel.trace;
  8616 
  8617 * ML: new combinators |>> and |>>> for incremental transformations
  8618 with secondary results (e.g. certain theory extensions):
  8619 
  8620 * ML: PureThy.add_defs gets additional argument to indicate potential
  8621 overloading (usually false);
  8622 
  8623 * ML: PureThy.add_thms/add_axioms/add_defs now return theorems as
  8624 results;
  8625 
  8626 
  8627 
  8628 New in Isabelle99 (October 1999)
  8629 --------------------------------
  8630 
  8631 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  8632 
  8633 * HOL: The THEN and ELSE parts of conditional expressions (if P then x else y)
  8634 are no longer simplified.  (This allows the simplifier to unfold recursive
  8635 functional programs.)  To restore the old behaviour, declare
  8636 
  8637     Delcongs [if_weak_cong];
  8638 
  8639 * HOL: Removed the obsolete syntax "Compl A"; use -A for set
  8640 complement;
  8641 
  8642 * HOL: the predicate "inj" is now defined by translation to "inj_on";
  8643 
  8644 * HOL/datatype: mutual_induct_tac no longer exists --
  8645   use induct_tac "x_1 ... x_n" instead of mutual_induct_tac ["x_1", ..., "x_n"]
  8646 
  8647 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
  8648 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
  8649 
  8650 * ZF: The con_defs part of an inductive definition may no longer refer
  8651 to constants declared in the same theory;
  8652 
  8653 * HOL, ZF: the function mk_cases, generated by the inductive
  8654 definition package, has lost an argument.  To simplify its result, it
  8655 uses the default simpset instead of a supplied list of theorems.
  8656 
  8657 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
  8658 
  8659 * Simplifier: the type of the infix ML functions
  8660         setSSolver addSSolver setSolver addSolver
  8661 is now  simpset * solver -> simpset  where `solver' is a new abstract type
  8662 for packaging solvers. A solver is created via
  8663         mk_solver: string -> (thm list -> int -> tactic) -> solver
  8664 where the string argument is only a comment.
  8665 
  8666 
  8667 *** Proof tools ***
  8668 
  8669 * Provers/Arith/fast_lin_arith.ML contains a functor for creating a
  8670 decision procedure for linear arithmetic. Currently it is used for
  8671 types `nat', `int', and `real' in HOL (see below); it can, should and
  8672 will be instantiated for other types and logics as well.
  8673 
  8674 * The simplifier now accepts rewrite rules with flexible heads, eg
  8675      hom ?f ==> ?f(?x+?y) = ?f ?x + ?f ?y
  8676   They are applied like any rule with a non-pattern lhs, i.e. by first-order
  8677   matching.
  8678 
  8679 
  8680 *** General ***
  8681 
  8682 * New Isabelle/Isar subsystem provides an alternative to traditional
  8683 tactical theorem proving; together with the ProofGeneral/isar user
  8684 interface it offers an interactive environment for developing human
  8685 readable proof documents (Isar == Intelligible semi-automated
  8686 reasoning); for further information see isatool doc isar-ref,
  8687 src/HOL/Isar_examples and http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Isar/
  8688 
  8689 * improved and simplified presentation of theories: better HTML markup
  8690 (including colors), graph views in several sizes; isatool usedir now
  8691 provides a proper interface for user theories (via -P option); actual
  8692 document preparation based on (PDF)LaTeX is available as well (for
  8693 new-style theories only); see isatool doc system for more information;
  8694 
  8695 * native support for Proof General, both for classic Isabelle and
  8696 Isabelle/Isar;
  8697 
  8698 * ML function thm_deps visualizes dependencies of theorems and lemmas,
  8699 using the graph browser tool;
  8700 
  8701 * Isabelle manuals now also available as PDF;
  8702 
  8703 * theory loader rewritten from scratch (may not be fully
  8704 bug-compatible); old loadpath variable has been replaced by show_path,
  8705 add_path, del_path, reset_path functions; new operations such as
  8706 update_thy, touch_thy, remove_thy, use/update_thy_only (see also
  8707 isatool doc ref);
  8708 
  8709 * improved isatool install: option -k creates KDE application icon,
  8710 option -p DIR installs standalone binaries;
  8711 
  8712 * added ML_PLATFORM setting (useful for cross-platform installations);
  8713 more robust handling of platform specific ML images for SML/NJ;
  8714 
  8715 * the settings environment is now statically scoped, i.e. it is never
  8716 created again in sub-processes invoked from isabelle, isatool, or
  8717 Isabelle;
  8718 
  8719 * path element specification '~~' refers to '$ISABELLE_HOME';
  8720 
  8721 * in locales, the "assumes" and "defines" parts may be omitted if
  8722 empty;
  8723 
  8724 * new print_mode "xsymbols" for extended symbol support (e.g. genuine
  8725 long arrows);
  8726 
  8727 * new print_mode "HTML";
  8728 
  8729 * new flag show_tags controls display of tags of theorems (which are
  8730 basically just comments that may be attached by some tools);
  8731 
  8732 * Isamode 2.6 requires patch to accomodate change of Isabelle font
  8733 mode and goal output format:
  8734 
  8735 diff -r Isamode-2.6/elisp/isa-load.el Isamode/elisp/isa-load.el
  8736 244c244
  8737 <       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-msymbols" logic-name)
  8738 ---
  8739 >       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-misabelle_font" "-msymbols" logic-name)
  8740 diff -r Isabelle-2.6/elisp/isa-proofstate.el Isamode/elisp/isa-proofstate.el
  8741 181c181
  8742 < (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+$"
  8743 ---
  8744 > (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+"
  8745 
  8746 * function bind_thms stores lists of theorems (cf. bind_thm);
  8747 
  8748 * new shorthand tactics ftac, eatac, datac, fatac;
  8749 
  8750 * qed (and friends) now accept "" as result name; in that case the
  8751 theorem is not stored, but proper checks and presentation of the
  8752 result still apply;
  8753 
  8754 * theorem database now also indexes constants "Trueprop", "all",
  8755 "==>", "=="; thus thms_containing, findI etc. may retrieve more rules;
  8756 
  8757 
  8758 *** HOL ***
  8759 
  8760 ** HOL arithmetic **
  8761 
  8762 * There are now decision procedures for linear arithmetic over nat and
  8763 int:
  8764 
  8765 1. arith_tac copes with arbitrary formulae involving `=', `<', `<=',
  8766 `+', `-', `Suc', `min', `max' and numerical constants; other subterms
  8767 are treated as atomic; subformulae not involving type `nat' or `int'
  8768 are ignored; quantified subformulae are ignored unless they are
  8769 positive universal or negative existential. The tactic has to be
  8770 invoked by hand and can be a little bit slow. In particular, the
  8771 running time is exponential in the number of occurrences of `min' and
  8772 `max', and `-' on `nat'.
  8773 
  8774 2. fast_arith_tac is a cut-down version of arith_tac: it only takes
  8775 (negated) (in)equalities among the premises and the conclusion into
  8776 account (i.e. no compound formulae) and does not know about `min' and
  8777 `max', and `-' on `nat'. It is fast and is used automatically by the
  8778 simplifier.
  8779 
  8780 NB: At the moment, these decision procedures do not cope with mixed
  8781 nat/int formulae where the two parts interact, such as `m < n ==>
  8782 int(m) < int(n)'.
  8783 
  8784 * HOL/Numeral provides a generic theory of numerals (encoded
  8785 efficiently as bit strings); setup for types nat/int/real is in place;
  8786 INCOMPATIBILITY: since numeral syntax is now polymorphic, rather than
  8787 int, existing theories and proof scripts may require a few additional
  8788 type constraints;
  8789 
  8790 * integer division and remainder can now be performed on constant
  8791 arguments;
  8792 
  8793 * many properties of integer multiplication, division and remainder
  8794 are now available;
  8795 
  8796 * An interface to the Stanford Validity Checker (SVC) is available through the
  8797 tactic svc_tac.  Propositional tautologies and theorems of linear arithmetic
  8798 are proved automatically.  SVC must be installed separately, and its results
  8799 must be TAKEN ON TRUST (Isabelle does not check the proofs, but tags any
  8800 invocation of the underlying oracle).  For SVC see
  8801   http://verify.stanford.edu/SVC
  8802 
  8803 * IsaMakefile: the HOL-Real target now builds an actual image;
  8804 
  8805 
  8806 ** HOL misc **
  8807 
  8808 * HOL/Real/HahnBanach: the Hahn-Banach theorem for real vector spaces
  8809 (in Isabelle/Isar) -- by Gertrud Bauer;
  8810 
  8811 * HOL/BCV: generic model of bytecode verification, i.e. data-flow
  8812 analysis for assembly languages with subtypes;
  8813 
  8814 * HOL/TLA (Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions): major reorganization
  8815 -- avoids syntactic ambiguities and treats state, transition, and
  8816 temporal levels more uniformly; introduces INCOMPATIBILITIES due to
  8817 changed syntax and (many) tactics;
  8818 
  8819 * HOL/inductive: Now also handles more general introduction rules such
  8820   as "ALL y. (y, x) : r --> y : acc r ==> x : acc r"; monotonicity
  8821   theorems are now maintained within the theory (maintained via the
  8822   "mono" attribute);
  8823 
  8824 * HOL/datatype: Now also handles arbitrarily branching datatypes
  8825   (using function types) such as
  8826 
  8827   datatype 'a tree = Atom 'a | Branch "nat => 'a tree"
  8828 
  8829 * HOL/record: record_simproc (part of the default simpset) takes care
  8830 of selectors applied to updated records; record_split_tac is no longer
  8831 part of the default claset; update_defs may now be removed from the
  8832 simpset in many cases; COMPATIBILITY: old behavior achieved by
  8833 
  8834   claset_ref () := claset() addSWrapper record_split_wrapper;
  8835   Delsimprocs [record_simproc]
  8836 
  8837 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
  8838 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
  8839 
  8840 * HOL/recdef (TFL): 'congs' syntax now expects comma separated list of theorem
  8841 names rather than an ML expression;
  8842 
  8843 * HOL/defer_recdef (TFL): like recdef but the well-founded relation can be
  8844 supplied later.  Program schemes can be defined, such as
  8845     "While B C s = (if B s then While B C (C s) else s)"
  8846 where the well-founded relation can be chosen after B and C have been given.
  8847 
  8848 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
  8849 INCOMPATIBILITY: while [] and infix # syntax is still there, of
  8850 course, ML tools referring to List.list.op # etc. have to be adapted;
  8851 
  8852 * HOL_quantifiers flag superseded by "HOL" print mode, which is
  8853 disabled by default; run isabelle with option -m HOL to get back to
  8854 the original Gordon/HOL-style output;
  8855 
  8856 * HOL/Ord.thy: new bounded quantifier syntax (input only): ALL x<y. P,
  8857 ALL x<=y. P, EX x<y. P, EX x<=y. P;
  8858 
  8859 * HOL basic syntax simplified (more orthogonal): all variants of
  8860 All/Ex now support plain / symbolic / HOL notation; plain syntax for
  8861 Eps operator is provided as well: "SOME x. P[x]";
  8862 
  8863 * HOL/Sum.thy: sum_case has been moved to HOL/Datatype;
  8864 
  8865 * HOL/Univ.thy: infix syntax <*>, <+>, <**>, <+> eliminated and made
  8866 thus available for user theories;
  8867 
  8868 * HOLCF/IOA/Sequents: renamed 'Cons' to 'Consq' to avoid clash with
  8869 HOL/List; hardly an INCOMPATIBILITY since '>>' syntax is used all the
  8870 time;
  8871 
  8872 * HOL: new tactic smp_tac: int -> int -> tactic, which applies spec
  8873 several times and then mp;
  8874 
  8875 
  8876 *** LK ***
  8877 
  8878 * the notation <<...>> is now available as a notation for sequences of
  8879 formulas;
  8880 
  8881 * the simplifier is now installed
  8882 
  8883 * the axiom system has been generalized (thanks to Soren Heilmann)
  8884 
  8885 * the classical reasoner now has a default rule database
  8886 
  8887 
  8888 *** ZF ***
  8889 
  8890 * new primrec section allows primitive recursive functions to be given
  8891 directly (as in HOL) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
  8892 
  8893 * new tactics induct_tac and exhaust_tac for induction (or case
  8894 analysis) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
  8895 
  8896 * the datatype declaration of type T now defines the recursor T_rec;
  8897 
  8898 * simplification automatically does freeness reasoning for datatype
  8899 constructors;
  8900 
  8901 * automatic type-inference, with AddTCs command to insert new
  8902 type-checking rules;
  8903 
  8904 * datatype introduction rules are now added as Safe Introduction rules
  8905 to the claset;
  8906 
  8907 * the syntax "if P then x else y" is now available in addition to
  8908 if(P,x,y);
  8909 
  8910 
  8911 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
  8912 
  8913 * tuned simplifier trace output; new flag debug_simp;
  8914 
  8915 * structures Vartab / Termtab (instances of TableFun) offer efficient
  8916 tables indexed by indexname_ord / term_ord (compatible with aconv);
  8917 
  8918 * AxClass.axclass_tac lost the theory argument;
  8919 
  8920 * tuned current_goals_markers semantics: begin / end goal avoids
  8921 printing empty lines;
  8922 
  8923 * removed prs and prs_fn hook, which was broken because it did not
  8924 include \n in its semantics, forcing writeln to add one
  8925 uncoditionally; replaced prs_fn by writeln_fn; consider std_output:
  8926 string -> unit if you really want to output text without newline;
  8927 
  8928 * Symbol.output subject to print mode; INCOMPATIBILITY: defaults to
  8929 plain output, interface builders may have to enable 'isabelle_font'
  8930 mode to get Isabelle font glyphs as before;
  8931 
  8932 * refined token_translation interface; INCOMPATIBILITY: output length
  8933 now of type real instead of int;
  8934 
  8935 * theory loader actions may be traced via new ThyInfo.add_hook
  8936 interface (see src/Pure/Thy/thy_info.ML); example application: keep
  8937 your own database of information attached to *whole* theories -- as
  8938 opposed to intra-theory data slots offered via TheoryDataFun;
  8939 
  8940 * proper handling of dangling sort hypotheses (at last!);
  8941 Thm.strip_shyps and Drule.strip_shyps_warning take care of removing
  8942 extra sort hypotheses that can be witnessed from the type signature;
  8943 the force_strip_shyps flag is gone, any remaining shyps are simply
  8944 left in the theorem (with a warning issued by strip_shyps_warning);
  8945 
  8946 
  8947 
  8948 New in Isabelle98-1 (October 1998)
  8949 ----------------------------------
  8950 
  8951 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  8952 
  8953 * several changes of automated proof tools;
  8954 
  8955 * HOL: major changes to the inductive and datatype packages, including
  8956 some minor incompatibilities of theory syntax;
  8957 
  8958 * HOL: renamed r^-1 to 'converse' from 'inverse'; 'inj_onto' is now
  8959 called `inj_on';
  8960 
  8961 * HOL: removed duplicate thms in Arith:
  8962   less_imp_add_less  should be replaced by  trans_less_add1
  8963   le_imp_add_le      should be replaced by  trans_le_add1
  8964 
  8965 * HOL: unary minus is now overloaded (new type constraints may be
  8966 required);
  8967 
  8968 * HOL and ZF: unary minus for integers is now #- instead of #~.  In
  8969 ZF, expressions such as n#-1 must be changed to n#- 1, since #-1 is
  8970 now taken as an integer constant.
  8971 
  8972 * Pure: ML function 'theory_of' renamed to 'theory';
  8973 
  8974 
  8975 *** Proof tools ***
  8976 
  8977 * Simplifier:
  8978   1. Asm_full_simp_tac is now more aggressive.
  8979      1. It will sometimes reorient premises if that increases their power to
  8980         simplify.
  8981      2. It does no longer proceed strictly from left to right but may also
  8982         rotate premises to achieve further simplification.
  8983      For compatibility reasons there is now Asm_lr_simp_tac which is like the
  8984      old Asm_full_simp_tac in that it does not rotate premises.
  8985   2. The simplifier now knows a little bit about nat-arithmetic.
  8986 
  8987 * Classical reasoner: wrapper mechanism for the classical reasoner now
  8988 allows for selected deletion of wrappers, by introduction of names for
  8989 wrapper functionals.  This implies that addbefore, addSbefore,
  8990 addaltern, and addSaltern now take a pair (name, tactic) as argument,
  8991 and that adding two tactics with the same name overwrites the first
  8992 one (emitting a warning).
  8993   type wrapper = (int -> tactic) -> (int -> tactic)
  8994   setWrapper, setSWrapper, compWrapper and compSWrapper are replaced by
  8995   addWrapper, addSWrapper: claset * (string * wrapper) -> claset
  8996   delWrapper, delSWrapper: claset *  string            -> claset
  8997   getWrapper is renamed to appWrappers, getSWrapper to appSWrappers;
  8998 
  8999 * Classical reasoner: addbefore/addSbefore now have APPEND/ORELSE
  9000 semantics; addbefore now affects only the unsafe part of step_tac
  9001 etc.; this affects addss/auto_tac/force_tac, so EXISTING PROOFS MAY
  9002 FAIL, but proofs should be fixable easily, e.g. by replacing Auto_tac
  9003 by Force_tac;
  9004 
  9005 * Classical reasoner: setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to
  9006 compWrapper; added safe wrapper (and access functions for it);
  9007 
  9008 * HOL/split_all_tac is now much faster and fails if there is nothing
  9009 to split.  Some EXISTING PROOFS MAY REQUIRE ADAPTION because the order
  9010 and the names of the automatically generated variables have changed.
  9011 split_all_tac has moved within claset() from unsafe wrappers to safe
  9012 wrappers, which means that !!-bound variables are split much more
  9013 aggressively, and safe_tac and clarify_tac now split such variables.
  9014 If this splitting is not appropriate, use delSWrapper "split_all_tac".
  9015 Note: the same holds for record_split_tac, which does the job of
  9016 split_all_tac for record fields.
  9017 
  9018 * HOL/Simplifier: Rewrite rules for case distinctions can now be added
  9019 permanently to the default simpset using Addsplits just like
  9020 Addsimps. They can be removed via Delsplits just like
  9021 Delsimps. Lower-case versions are also available.
  9022 
  9023 * HOL/Simplifier: The rule split_if is now part of the default
  9024 simpset. This means that the simplifier will eliminate all occurrences
  9025 of if-then-else in the conclusion of a goal. To prevent this, you can
  9026 either remove split_if completely from the default simpset by
  9027 `Delsplits [split_if]' or remove it in a specific call of the
  9028 simplifier using `... delsplits [split_if]'.  You can also add/delete
  9029 other case splitting rules to/from the default simpset: every datatype
  9030 generates suitable rules `split_t_case' and `split_t_case_asm' (where
  9031 t is the name of the datatype).
  9032 
  9033 * Classical reasoner / Simplifier combination: new force_tac (and
  9034 derivatives Force_tac, force) combines rewriting and classical
  9035 reasoning (and whatever other tools) similarly to auto_tac, but is
  9036 aimed to solve the given subgoal completely.
  9037 
  9038 
  9039 *** General ***
  9040 
  9041 * new top-level commands `Goal' and `Goalw' that improve upon `goal'
  9042 and `goalw': the theory is no longer needed as an explicit argument -
  9043 the current theory context is used; assumptions are no longer returned
  9044 at the ML-level unless one of them starts with ==> or !!; it is
  9045 recommended to convert to these new commands using isatool fixgoal
  9046 (backup your sources first!);
  9047 
  9048 * new top-level commands 'thm' and 'thms' for retrieving theorems from
  9049 the current theory context, and 'theory' to lookup stored theories;
  9050 
  9051 * new theory section 'locale' for declaring constants, assumptions and
  9052 definitions that have local scope;
  9053 
  9054 * new theory section 'nonterminals' for purely syntactic types;
  9055 
  9056 * new theory section 'setup' for generic ML setup functions
  9057 (e.g. package initialization);
  9058 
  9059 * the distribution now includes Isabelle icons: see
  9060 lib/logo/isabelle-{small,tiny}.xpm;
  9061 
  9062 * isatool install - install binaries with absolute references to
  9063 ISABELLE_HOME/bin;
  9064 
  9065 * isatool logo -- create instances of the Isabelle logo (as EPS);
  9066 
  9067 * print mode 'emacs' reserved for Isamode;
  9068 
  9069 * support multiple print (ast) translations per constant name;
  9070 
  9071 * theorems involving oracles are now printed with a suffixed [!];
  9072 
  9073 
  9074 *** HOL ***
  9075 
  9076 * there is now a tutorial on Isabelle/HOL (do 'isatool doc tutorial');
  9077 
  9078 * HOL/inductive package reorganized and improved: now supports mutual
  9079 definitions such as
  9080 
  9081   inductive EVEN ODD
  9082     intrs
  9083       null "0 : EVEN"
  9084       oddI "n : EVEN ==> Suc n : ODD"
  9085       evenI "n : ODD ==> Suc n : EVEN"
  9086 
  9087 new theorem list "elims" contains an elimination rule for each of the
  9088 recursive sets; inductive definitions now handle disjunctive premises
  9089 correctly (also ZF);
  9090 
  9091 INCOMPATIBILITIES: requires Inductive as an ancestor; component
  9092 "mutual_induct" no longer exists - the induction rule is always
  9093 contained in "induct";
  9094 
  9095 
  9096 * HOL/datatype package re-implemented and greatly improved: now
  9097 supports mutually recursive datatypes such as
  9098 
  9099   datatype
  9100     'a aexp = IF_THEN_ELSE ('a bexp) ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9101             | SUM ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9102             | DIFF ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9103             | NUM 'a
  9104   and
  9105     'a bexp = LESS ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9106             | AND ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
  9107             | OR ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
  9108 
  9109 as well as indirectly recursive datatypes such as
  9110 
  9111   datatype
  9112     ('a, 'b) term = Var 'a
  9113                   | App 'b ((('a, 'b) term) list)
  9114 
  9115 The new tactic  mutual_induct_tac [<var_1>, ..., <var_n>] i  performs
  9116 induction on mutually / indirectly recursive datatypes.
  9117 
  9118 Primrec equations are now stored in theory and can be accessed via
  9119 <function_name>.simps.
  9120 
  9121 INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  9122 
  9123   - Theories using datatypes must now have theory Datatype as an
  9124     ancestor.
  9125   - The specific <typename>.induct_tac no longer exists - use the
  9126     generic induct_tac instead.
  9127   - natE has been renamed to nat.exhaust - use exhaust_tac
  9128     instead of res_inst_tac ... natE. Note that the variable
  9129     names in nat.exhaust differ from the names in natE, this
  9130     may cause some "fragile" proofs to fail.
  9131   - The theorems split_<typename>_case and split_<typename>_case_asm
  9132     have been renamed to <typename>.split and <typename>.split_asm.
  9133   - Since default sorts of type variables are now handled correctly,
  9134     some datatype definitions may have to be annotated with explicit
  9135     sort constraints.
  9136   - Primrec definitions no longer require function name and type
  9137     of recursive argument.
  9138 
  9139 Consider using isatool fixdatatype to adapt your theories and proof
  9140 scripts to the new package (backup your sources first!).
  9141 
  9142 
  9143 * HOL/record package: considerably improved implementation; now
  9144 includes concrete syntax for record types, terms, updates; theorems
  9145 for surjective pairing and splitting !!-bound record variables; proof
  9146 support is as follows:
  9147 
  9148   1) standard conversions (selectors or updates applied to record
  9149 constructor terms) are part of the standard simpset;
  9150 
  9151   2) inject equations of the form ((x, y) = (x', y')) == x=x' & y=y' are
  9152 made part of standard simpset and claset via addIffs;
  9153 
  9154   3) a tactic for record field splitting (record_split_tac) is part of
  9155 the standard claset (addSWrapper);
  9156 
  9157 To get a better idea about these rules you may retrieve them via
  9158 something like 'thms "foo.simps"' or 'thms "foo.iffs"', where "foo" is
  9159 the name of your record type.
  9160 
  9161 The split tactic 3) conceptually simplifies by the following rule:
  9162 
  9163   "(!!x. PROP ?P x) == (!!a b. PROP ?P (a, b))"
  9164 
  9165 Thus any record variable that is bound by meta-all will automatically
  9166 blow up into some record constructor term, consequently the
  9167 simplifications of 1), 2) apply.  Thus force_tac, auto_tac etc. shall
  9168 solve record problems automatically.
  9169 
  9170 
  9171 * reorganized the main HOL image: HOL/Integ and String loaded by
  9172 default; theory Main includes everything;
  9173 
  9174 * automatic simplification of integer sums and comparisons, using cancellation;
  9175 
  9176 * added option_map_eq_Some and not_Some_eq to the default simpset and claset;
  9177 
  9178 * added disj_not1 = "(~P | Q) = (P --> Q)" to the default simpset;
  9179 
  9180 * many new identities for unions, intersections, set difference, etc.;
  9181 
  9182 * expand_if, expand_split, expand_sum_case and expand_nat_case are now
  9183 called split_if, split_split, split_sum_case and split_nat_case (to go
  9184 with add/delsplits);
  9185 
  9186 * HOL/Prod introduces simplification procedure unit_eq_proc rewriting
  9187 (?x::unit) = (); this is made part of the default simpset, which COULD
  9188 MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL under rare circumstances (consider
  9189 'Delsimprocs [unit_eq_proc];' as last resort); also note that
  9190 unit_abs_eta_conv is added in order to counter the effect of
  9191 unit_eq_proc on (%u::unit. f u), replacing it by f rather than by
  9192 %u.f();
  9193 
  9194 * HOL/Fun INCOMPATIBILITY: `inj_onto' is now called `inj_on' (which
  9195 makes more sense);
  9196 
  9197 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
  9198   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
  9199   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
  9200 
  9201 * HOL/Relation INCOMPATIBILITY: renamed the relational operator r^-1
  9202 to 'converse' from 'inverse' (for compatibility with ZF and some
  9203 literature);
  9204 
  9205 * HOL/recdef can now declare non-recursive functions, with {} supplied as
  9206 the well-founded relation;
  9207 
  9208 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: the complement of set A is now written -A instead of
  9209     Compl A.  The "Compl" syntax remains available as input syntax for this
  9210     release ONLY.
  9211 
  9212 * HOL/Update: new theory of function updates:
  9213     f(a:=b) == %x. if x=a then b else f x
  9214 may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
  9215 
  9216 * HOL/Vimage: new theory for inverse image of a function, syntax f-``B;
  9217 
  9218 * HOL/List:
  9219   - new function list_update written xs[i:=v] that updates the i-th
  9220     list position. May also be iterated as in xs[i:=a,j:=b,...].
  9221   - new function `upt' written [i..j(] which generates the list
  9222     [i,i+1,...,j-1], i.e. the upper bound is excluded. To include the upper
  9223     bound write [i..j], which is a shorthand for [i..j+1(].
  9224   - new lexicographic orderings and corresponding wellfoundedness theorems.
  9225 
  9226 * HOL/Arith:
  9227   - removed 'pred' (predecessor) function;
  9228   - generalized some theorems about n-1;
  9229   - many new laws about "div" and "mod";
  9230   - new laws about greatest common divisors (see theory ex/Primes);
  9231 
  9232 * HOL/Relation: renamed the relational operator r^-1 "converse"
  9233 instead of "inverse";
  9234 
  9235 * HOL/Induct/Multiset: a theory of multisets, including the wellfoundedness
  9236   of the multiset ordering;
  9237 
  9238 * directory HOL/Real: a construction of the reals using Dedekind cuts
  9239   (not included by default);
  9240 
  9241 * directory HOL/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY formalism;
  9242 
  9243 * directory HOL/Hoare: a new version of Hoare logic which permits many-sorted
  9244   programs, i.e. different program variables may have different types.
  9245 
  9246 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
  9247   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
  9248   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
  9249 
  9250 
  9251 *** ZF ***
  9252 
  9253 * theory Main includes everything; INCOMPATIBILITY: theory ZF.thy contains
  9254   only the theorems proved on ZF.ML;
  9255 
  9256 * ZF INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
  9257   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
  9258   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
  9259 
  9260 * ZF/Update: new theory of function updates
  9261     with default rewrite rule  f(x:=y) ` z = if(z=x, y, f`z)
  9262   may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
  9263 
  9264 * in  let x=t in u(x), neither t nor u(x) has to be an FOL term.
  9265 
  9266 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
  9267   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
  9268   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
  9269 
  9270 * case_tac provided for compatibility with HOL
  9271     (like the old excluded_middle_tac, but with subgoals swapped)
  9272 
  9273 
  9274 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
  9275 
  9276 * Pure: several new basic modules made available for general use, see
  9277 also src/Pure/README;
  9278 
  9279 * improved the theory data mechanism to support encapsulation (data
  9280 kind name replaced by private Object.kind, acting as authorization
  9281 key); new type-safe user interface via functor TheoryDataFun; generic
  9282 print_data function becomes basically useless;
  9283 
  9284 * removed global_names compatibility flag -- all theory declarations
  9285 are qualified by default;
  9286 
  9287 * module Pure/Syntax now offers quote / antiquote translation
  9288 functions (useful for Hoare logic etc. with implicit dependencies);
  9289 see HOL/ex/Antiquote for an example use;
  9290 
  9291 * Simplifier now offers conversions (asm_)(full_)rewrite: simpset ->
  9292 cterm -> thm;
  9293 
  9294 * new tactical CHANGED_GOAL for checking that a tactic modifies a
  9295 subgoal;
  9296 
  9297 * Display.print_goals function moved to Locale.print_goals;
  9298 
  9299 * standard print function for goals supports current_goals_markers
  9300 variable for marking begin of proof, end of proof, start of goal; the
  9301 default is ("", "", ""); setting current_goals_markers := ("<proof>",
  9302 "</proof>", "<goal>") causes SGML like tagged proof state printing,
  9303 for example;
  9304 
  9305 
  9306 
  9307 New in Isabelle98 (January 1998)
  9308 --------------------------------
  9309 
  9310 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  9311 
  9312 * changed lexical syntax of terms / types: dots made part of long
  9313 identifiers, e.g. "%x.x" no longer possible, should be "%x. x";
  9314 
  9315 * simpset (and claset) reference variable replaced by functions
  9316 simpset / simpset_ref;
  9317 
  9318 * no longer supports theory aliases (via merge) and non-trivial
  9319 implicit merge of thms' signatures;
  9320 
  9321 * most internal names of constants changed due to qualified names;
  9322 
  9323 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML);
  9324 
  9325 
  9326 *** General Changes ***
  9327 
  9328 * hierachically structured name spaces (for consts, types, axms, thms
  9329 etc.); new lexical class 'longid' (e.g. Foo.bar.x) may render much of
  9330 old input syntactically incorrect (e.g. "%x.x"); COMPATIBILITY:
  9331 isatool fixdots ensures space after dots (e.g. "%x. x"); set
  9332 long_names for fully qualified output names; NOTE: ML programs
  9333 (special tactics, packages etc.) referring to internal names may have
  9334 to be adapted to cope with fully qualified names; in case of severe
  9335 backward campatibility problems try setting 'global_names' at compile
  9336 time to have enrything declared within a flat name space; one may also
  9337 fine tune name declarations in theories via the 'global' and 'local'
  9338 section;
  9339 
  9340 * reimplemented the implicit simpset and claset using the new anytype
  9341 data filed in signatures; references simpset:simpset ref etc. are
  9342 replaced by functions simpset:unit->simpset and
  9343 simpset_ref:unit->simpset ref; COMPATIBILITY: use isatool fixclasimp
  9344 to patch your ML files accordingly;
  9345 
  9346 * HTML output now includes theory graph data for display with Java
  9347 applet or isatool browser; data generated automatically via isatool
  9348 usedir (see -i option, ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS);
  9349 
  9350 * defs may now be conditional; improved rewrite_goals_tac to handle
  9351 conditional equations;
  9352 
  9353 * defs now admits additional type arguments, using TYPE('a) syntax;
  9354 
  9355 * theory aliases via merge (e.g. M=A+B+C) no longer supported, always
  9356 creates a new theory node; implicit merge of thms' signatures is
  9357 restricted to 'trivial' ones; COMPATIBILITY: one may have to use
  9358 transfer:theory->thm->thm in (rare) cases;
  9359 
  9360 * improved handling of draft signatures / theories; draft thms (and
  9361 ctyps, cterms) are automatically promoted to real ones;
  9362 
  9363 * slightly changed interfaces for oracles: admit many per theory, named
  9364 (e.g. oracle foo = mlfun), additional name argument for invoke_oracle;
  9365 
  9366 * print_goals: optional output of const types (set show_consts and
  9367 show_types);
  9368 
  9369 * improved output of warnings (###) and errors (***);
  9370 
  9371 * subgoal_tac displays a warning if the new subgoal has type variables;
  9372 
  9373 * removed old README and Makefiles;
  9374 
  9375 * replaced print_goals_ref hook by print_current_goals_fn and result_error_fn;
  9376 
  9377 * removed obsolete init_pps and init_database;
  9378 
  9379 * deleted the obsolete tactical STATE, which was declared by
  9380     fun STATE tacfun st = tacfun st st;
  9381 
  9382 * cd and use now support path variables, e.g. $ISABELLE_HOME, or ~
  9383 (which abbreviates $HOME);
  9384 
  9385 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML); COMPATIBILITY:
  9386 use isatool fixseq to adapt your ML programs (this works for fully
  9387 qualified references to the Sequence structure only!);
  9388 
  9389 * use_thy no longer requires writable current directory; it always
  9390 reloads .ML *and* .thy file, if either one is out of date;
  9391 
  9392 
  9393 *** Classical Reasoner ***
  9394 
  9395 * Clarify_tac, clarify_tac, clarify_step_tac, Clarify_step_tac: new
  9396 tactics that use classical reasoning to simplify a subgoal without
  9397 splitting it into several subgoals;
  9398 
  9399 * Safe_tac: like safe_tac but uses the default claset;
  9400 
  9401 
  9402 *** Simplifier ***
  9403 
  9404 * added simplification meta rules:
  9405     (asm_)(full_)simplify: simpset -> thm -> thm;
  9406 
  9407 * simplifier.ML no longer part of Pure -- has to be loaded by object
  9408 logics (again);
  9409 
  9410 * added prems argument to simplification procedures;
  9411 
  9412 * HOL, FOL, ZF: added infix function `addsplits':
  9413   instead of `<simpset> setloop (split_tac <thms>)'
  9414   you can simply write `<simpset> addsplits <thms>'
  9415 
  9416 
  9417 *** Syntax ***
  9418 
  9419 * TYPE('a) syntax for type reflection terms;
  9420 
  9421 * no longer handles consts with name "" -- declare as 'syntax' instead;
  9422 
  9423 * pretty printer: changed order of mixfix annotation preference (again!);
  9424 
  9425 * Pure: fixed idt/idts vs. pttrn/pttrns syntactic categories;
  9426 
  9427 
  9428 *** HOL ***
  9429 
  9430 * HOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
  9431   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
  9432 
  9433 * HOL/TLA: Stephan Merz's formalization of Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions;
  9434 
  9435 * HOL/Auth: new protocol proofs including some for the Internet
  9436   protocol TLS;
  9437 
  9438 * HOL/Map: new theory of `maps' a la VDM;
  9439 
  9440 * HOL/simplifier: simplification procedures nat_cancel_sums for
  9441 cancelling out common nat summands from =, <, <= (in)equalities, or
  9442 differences; simplification procedures nat_cancel_factor for
  9443 cancelling common factor from =, <, <= (in)equalities over natural
  9444 sums; nat_cancel contains both kinds of procedures, it is installed by
  9445 default in Arith.thy -- this COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL;
  9446 
  9447 * HOL/simplifier: terms of the form
  9448   `? x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x)'  (or t=x)
  9449   are rewritten to
  9450   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t)',
  9451   and those of the form
  9452   `! x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x) --> R(x)'  (or t=x)
  9453   are rewritten to
  9454   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t) --> R(t)',
  9455 
  9456 * HOL/datatype
  9457   Each datatype `t' now comes with a theorem `split_t_case' of the form
  9458 
  9459   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
  9460      ( (!y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 --> P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) &
  9461         ...
  9462        (!y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn --> P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
  9463      )
  9464 
  9465   and a theorem `split_t_case_asm' of the form
  9466 
  9467   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
  9468     ~( (? y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 & ~P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) |
  9469         ...
  9470        (? y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn & ~P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
  9471      )
  9472   which can be added to a simpset via `addsplits'. The existing theorems
  9473   expand_list_case and expand_option_case have been renamed to
  9474   split_list_case and split_option_case.
  9475 
  9476 * HOL/Arithmetic:
  9477   - `pred n' is automatically converted to `n-1'.
  9478     Users are strongly encouraged not to use `pred' any longer,
  9479     because it will disappear altogether at some point.
  9480   - Users are strongly encouraged to write "0 < n" rather than
  9481     "n ~= 0". Theorems and proof tools have been modified towards this
  9482     `standard'.
  9483 
  9484 * HOL/Lists:
  9485   the function "set_of_list" has been renamed "set" (and its theorems too);
  9486   the function "nth" now takes its arguments in the reverse order and
  9487   has acquired the infix notation "!" as in "xs!n".
  9488 
  9489 * HOL/Set: UNIV is now a constant and is no longer translated to Compl{};
  9490 
  9491 * HOL/Set: The operator (UN x.B x) now abbreviates (UN x:UNIV. B x) and its
  9492   specialist theorems (like UN1_I) are gone.  Similarly for (INT x.B x);
  9493 
  9494 * HOL/record: extensible records with schematic structural subtyping
  9495 (single inheritance); EXPERIMENTAL version demonstrating the encoding,
  9496 still lacks various theorems and concrete record syntax;
  9497 
  9498 
  9499 *** HOLCF ***
  9500 
  9501 * removed "axioms" and "generated by" sections;
  9502 
  9503 * replaced "ops" section by extended "consts" section, which is capable of
  9504   handling the continuous function space "->" directly;
  9505 
  9506 * domain package:
  9507   . proves theorems immediately and stores them in the theory,
  9508   . creates hierachical name space,
  9509   . now uses normal mixfix annotations (instead of cinfix...),
  9510   . minor changes to some names and values (for consistency),
  9511   . e.g. cases -> casedist, dists_eq -> dist_eqs, [take_lemma] -> take_lemmas,
  9512   . separator between mutual domain defs: changed "," to "and",
  9513   . improved handling of sort constraints;  now they have to
  9514     appear on the left-hand side of the equations only;
  9515 
  9516 * fixed LAM <x,y,zs>.b syntax;
  9517 
  9518 * added extended adm_tac to simplifier in HOLCF -- can now discharge
  9519 adm (%x. P (t x)), where P is chainfinite and t continuous;
  9520 
  9521 
  9522 *** FOL and ZF ***
  9523 
  9524 * FOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
  9525   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
  9526 
  9527 * qed_spec_mp, qed_goal_spec_mp, qed_goalw_spec_mp are available, as
  9528 in HOL, they strip ALL and --> from proved theorems;
  9529 
  9530 
  9531 
  9532 New in Isabelle94-8 (May 1997)
  9533 ------------------------------
  9534 
  9535 *** General Changes ***
  9536 
  9537 * new utilities to build / run / maintain Isabelle etc. (in parts
  9538 still somewhat experimental); old Makefiles etc. still functional;
  9539 
  9540 * new 'Isabelle System Manual';
  9541 
  9542 * INSTALL text, together with ./configure and ./build scripts;
  9543 
  9544 * reimplemented type inference for greater efficiency, better error
  9545 messages and clean internal interface;
  9546 
  9547 * prlim command for dealing with lots of subgoals (an easier way of
  9548 setting goals_limit);
  9549 
  9550 
  9551 *** Syntax ***
  9552 
  9553 * supports alternative (named) syntax tables (parser and pretty
  9554 printer); internal interface is provided by add_modesyntax(_i);
  9555 
  9556 * Pure, FOL, ZF, HOL, HOLCF now support symbolic input and output; to
  9557 be used in conjunction with the Isabelle symbol font; uses the
  9558 "symbols" syntax table;
  9559 
  9560 * added token_translation interface (may translate name tokens in
  9561 arbitrary ways, dependent on their type (free, bound, tfree, ...) and
  9562 the current print_mode); IMPORTANT: user print translation functions
  9563 are responsible for marking newly introduced bounds
  9564 (Syntax.mark_boundT);
  9565 
  9566 * token translations for modes "xterm" and "xterm_color" that display
  9567 names in bold, underline etc. or colors (which requires a color
  9568 version of xterm);
  9569 
  9570 * infixes may now be declared with names independent of their syntax;
  9571 
  9572 * added typed_print_translation (like print_translation, but may
  9573 access type of constant);
  9574 
  9575 
  9576 *** Classical Reasoner ***
  9577 
  9578 Blast_tac: a new tactic!  It is often more powerful than fast_tac, but has
  9579 some limitations.  Blast_tac...
  9580   + ignores addss, addbefore, addafter; this restriction is intrinsic
  9581   + ignores elimination rules that don't have the correct format
  9582         (the conclusion MUST be a formula variable)
  9583   + ignores types, which can make HOL proofs fail
  9584   + rules must not require higher-order unification, e.g. apply_type in ZF
  9585     [message "Function Var's argument not a bound variable" relates to this]
  9586   + its proof strategy is more general but can actually be slower
  9587 
  9588 * substitution with equality assumptions no longer permutes other
  9589 assumptions;
  9590 
  9591 * minor changes in semantics of addafter (now called addaltern); renamed
  9592 setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to compWrapper; added safe wrapper
  9593 (and access functions for it);
  9594 
  9595 * improved combination of classical reasoner and simplifier:
  9596   + functions for handling clasimpsets
  9597   + improvement of addss: now the simplifier is called _after_ the
  9598     safe steps.
  9599   + safe variant of addss called addSss: uses safe simplifications
  9600     _during_ the safe steps. It is more complete as it allows multiple
  9601     instantiations of unknowns (e.g. with slow_tac).
  9602 
  9603 *** Simplifier ***
  9604 
  9605 * added interface for simplification procedures (functions that
  9606 produce *proven* rewrite rules on the fly, depending on current
  9607 redex);
  9608 
  9609 * ordering on terms as parameter (used for ordered rewriting);
  9610 
  9611 * new functions delcongs, deleqcongs, and Delcongs. richer rep_ss;
  9612 
  9613 * the solver is now split into a safe and an unsafe part.
  9614 This should be invisible for the normal user, except that the
  9615 functions setsolver and addsolver have been renamed to setSolver and
  9616 addSolver; added safe_asm_full_simp_tac;
  9617 
  9618 
  9619 *** HOL ***
  9620 
  9621 * a generic induction tactic `induct_tac' which works for all datatypes and
  9622 also for type `nat';
  9623 
  9624 * a generic case distinction tactic `exhaust_tac' which works for all
  9625 datatypes and also for type `nat';
  9626 
  9627 * each datatype comes with a function `size';
  9628 
  9629 * patterns in case expressions allow tuple patterns as arguments to
  9630 constructors, for example `case x of [] => ... | (x,y,z)#ps => ...';
  9631 
  9632 * primrec now also works with type nat;
  9633 
  9634 * recdef: a new declaration form, allows general recursive functions to be
  9635 defined in theory files.  See HOL/ex/Fib, HOL/ex/Primes, HOL/Subst/Unify.
  9636 
  9637 * the constant for negation has been renamed from "not" to "Not" to
  9638 harmonize with FOL, ZF, LK, etc.;
  9639 
  9640 * HOL/ex/LFilter theory of a corecursive "filter" functional for
  9641 infinite lists;
  9642 
  9643 * HOL/Modelcheck demonstrates invocation of model checker oracle;
  9644 
  9645 * HOL/ex/Ring.thy declares cring_simp, which solves equational
  9646 problems in commutative rings, using axiomatic type classes for + and *;
  9647 
  9648 * more examples in HOL/MiniML and HOL/Auth;
  9649 
  9650 * more default rewrite rules for quantifiers, union/intersection;
  9651 
  9652 * a new constant `arbitrary == @x.False';
  9653 
  9654 * HOLCF/IOA replaces old HOL/IOA;
  9655 
  9656 * HOLCF changes: derived all rules and arities
  9657   + axiomatic type classes instead of classes
  9658   + typedef instead of faking type definitions
  9659   + eliminated the internal constants less_fun, less_cfun, UU_fun, UU_cfun etc.
  9660   + new axclasses cpo, chfin, flat with flat < chfin < pcpo < cpo < po
  9661   + eliminated the types void, one, tr
  9662   + use unit lift and bool lift (with translations) instead of one and tr
  9663   + eliminated blift from Lift3.thy (use Def instead of blift)
  9664   all eliminated rules are derived as theorems --> no visible changes ;
  9665 
  9666 
  9667 *** ZF ***
  9668 
  9669 * ZF now has Fast_tac, Simp_tac and Auto_tac.  Union_iff is a now a default
  9670 rewrite rule; this may affect some proofs.  eq_cs is gone but can be put back
  9671 as ZF_cs addSIs [equalityI];
  9672 
  9673 
  9674 
  9675 New in Isabelle94-7 (November 96)
  9676 ---------------------------------
  9677 
  9678 * allowing negative levels (as offsets) in prlev and choplev;
  9679 
  9680 * super-linear speedup for large simplifications;
  9681 
  9682 * FOL, ZF and HOL now use miniscoping: rewriting pushes
  9683 quantifications in as far as possible (COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS
  9684 FAIL); can suppress it using the command Delsimps (ex_simps @
  9685 all_simps); De Morgan laws are also now included, by default;
  9686 
  9687 * improved printing of ==>  :  ~:
  9688 
  9689 * new object-logic "Sequents" adds linear logic, while replacing LK
  9690 and Modal (thanks to Sara Kalvala);
  9691 
  9692 * HOL/Auth: correctness proofs for authentication protocols;
  9693 
  9694 * HOL: new auto_tac combines rewriting and classical reasoning (many
  9695 examples on HOL/Auth);
  9696 
  9697 * HOL: new command AddIffs for declaring theorems of the form P=Q to
  9698 the rewriter and classical reasoner simultaneously;
  9699 
  9700 * function uresult no longer returns theorems in "standard" format;
  9701 regain previous version by: val uresult = standard o uresult;
  9702 
  9703 
  9704 
  9705 New in Isabelle94-6
  9706 -------------------
  9707 
  9708 * oracles -- these establish an interface between Isabelle and trusted
  9709 external reasoners, which may deliver results as theorems;
  9710 
  9711 * proof objects (in particular record all uses of oracles);
  9712 
  9713 * Simp_tac, Fast_tac, etc. that refer to implicit simpset / claset;
  9714 
  9715 * "constdefs" section in theory files;
  9716 
  9717 * "primrec" section (HOL) no longer requires names;
  9718 
  9719 * internal type "tactic" now simply "thm -> thm Sequence.seq";
  9720 
  9721 
  9722 
  9723 New in Isabelle94-5
  9724 -------------------
  9725 
  9726 * reduced space requirements;
  9727 
  9728 * automatic HTML generation from theories;
  9729 
  9730 * theory files no longer require "..." (quotes) around most types;
  9731 
  9732 * new examples, including two proofs of the Church-Rosser theorem;
  9733 
  9734 * non-curried (1994) version of HOL is no longer distributed;
  9735 
  9736 
  9737 
  9738 New in Isabelle94-4
  9739 -------------------
  9740 
  9741 * greatly reduced space requirements;
  9742 
  9743 * theory files (.thy) no longer require \...\ escapes at line breaks;
  9744 
  9745 * searchable theorem database (see the section "Retrieving theorems" on
  9746 page 8 of the Reference Manual);
  9747 
  9748 * new examples, including Grabczewski's monumental case study of the
  9749 Axiom of Choice;
  9750 
  9751 * The previous version of HOL renamed to Old_HOL;
  9752 
  9753 * The new version of HOL (previously called CHOL) uses a curried syntax
  9754 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b);
  9755 
  9756 * Mutually recursive inductive definitions finally work in HOL;
  9757 
  9758 * In ZF, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions and
  9759 translates to the operator "split";
  9760 
  9761 
  9762 
  9763 New in Isabelle94-3
  9764 -------------------
  9765 
  9766 * new infix operator, addss, allowing the classical reasoner to
  9767 perform simplification at each step of its search.  Example:
  9768         fast_tac (cs addss ss)
  9769 
  9770 * a new logic, CHOL, the same as HOL, but with a curried syntax
  9771 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b).  Also pairs
  9772 look like (a,b) instead of <a,b>;
  9773 
  9774 * PLEASE NOTE: CHOL will eventually replace HOL!
  9775 
  9776 * In CHOL, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions.
  9777 It translates to the operator "split".  A new theory of integers is available;
  9778 
  9779 * In ZF, integer numerals now denote two's-complement binary integers.
  9780 Arithmetic operations can be performed by rewriting.  See ZF/ex/Bin.ML;
  9781 
  9782 * Many new examples: I/O automata, Church-Rosser theorem, equivalents
  9783 of the Axiom of Choice;
  9784 
  9785 
  9786 
  9787 New in Isabelle94-2
  9788 -------------------
  9789 
  9790 * Significantly faster resolution;
  9791 
  9792 * the different sections in a .thy file can now be mixed and repeated
  9793 freely;
  9794 
  9795 * Database of theorems for FOL, HOL and ZF.  New
  9796 commands including qed, qed_goal and bind_thm store theorems in the database.
  9797 
  9798 * Simple database queries: return a named theorem (get_thm) or all theorems of
  9799 a given theory (thms_of), or find out what theory a theorem was proved in
  9800 (theory_of_thm);
  9801 
  9802 * Bugs fixed in the inductive definition and datatype packages;
  9803 
  9804 * The classical reasoner provides deepen_tac and depth_tac, making FOL_dup_cs
  9805 and HOL_dup_cs obsolete;
  9806 
  9807 * Syntactic ambiguities caused by the new treatment of syntax in Isabelle94-1
  9808 have been removed;
  9809 
  9810 * Simpler definition of function space in ZF;
  9811 
  9812 * new results about cardinal and ordinal arithmetic in ZF;
  9813 
  9814 * 'subtype' facility in HOL for introducing new types as subsets of existing
  9815 types;
