     1 Isabelle NEWS -- history of user-relevant changes
     2 =================================================
     3 
     4 New in Isabelle2014 (August 2014)
     5 ---------------------------------
     6 
     7 *** General ***
     8 
     9 * Support for official Standard ML within the Isabelle context.
    10 Command 'SML_file' reads and evaluates the given Standard ML file.
    11 Toplevel bindings are stored within the theory context; the initial
    12 environment is restricted to the Standard ML implementation of
    13 Poly/ML, without the add-ons of Isabelle/ML.  Commands 'SML_import'
    14 and 'SML_export' allow to exchange toplevel bindings between the two
    15 separate environments.  See also ~~/src/Tools/SML/Examples.thy for
    16 some examples.
    17 
    18 * Standard tactics and proof methods such as "clarsimp", "auto" and
    19 "safe" now preserve equality hypotheses "x = expr" where x is a free
    20 variable.  Locale assumptions and chained facts containing "x"
    21 continue to be useful.  The new method "hypsubst_thin" and the
    22 configuration option "hypsubst_thin" (within the attribute name space)
    23 restore the previous behavior.  INCOMPATIBILITY, especially where
    24 induction is done after these methods or when the names of free and
    25 bound variables clash.  As first approximation, old proofs may be
    26 repaired by "using [[hypsubst_thin = true]]" in the critical spot.
    27 
    28 * More static checking of proof methods, which allows the system to
    29 form a closure over the concrete syntax.  Method arguments should be
    30 processed in the original proof context as far as possible, before
    31 operating on the goal state.  In any case, the standard discipline for
    32 subgoal-addressing needs to be observed: no subgoals or a subgoal
    33 number that is out of range produces an empty result sequence, not an
    34 exception.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for non-conformant tactical
    35 proof tools.
    36 
    37 * Lexical syntax (inner and outer) supports text cartouches with
    38 arbitrary nesting, and without escapes of quotes etc.  The Prover IDE
    39 supports input via ` (backquote).
    40 
    41 * The outer syntax categories "text" (for formal comments and document
    42 markup commands) and "altstring" (for literal fact references) allow
    43 cartouches as well, in addition to the traditional mix of quotations.
    44 
    45 * Syntax of document antiquotation @{rail} now uses \<newline> instead
    46 of "\\", to avoid the optical illusion of escaped backslash within
    47 string token.  General renovation of its syntax using text cartouches.
    48 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
    49 
    50 * Discontinued legacy_isub_isup, which was a temporary workaround for
    51 Isabelle/ML in Isabelle2013-1.  The prover process no longer accepts
    52 old identifier syntax with \<^isub> or \<^isup>.  Potential
    53 INCOMPATIBILITY.
    54 
    55 * Document antiquotation @{url} produces markup for the given URL,
    56 which results in an active hyperlink within the text.
    57 
    58 * Document antiquotation @{file_unchecked} is like @{file}, but does
    59 not check existence within the file-system.
    60 
    61 * Updated and extended manuals: codegen, datatypes, implementation,
    62 isar-ref, jedit, system.
    63 
    64 
    65 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
    66 
    67 * Improved Document panel: simplified interaction where every single
    68 mouse click (re)opens document via desktop environment or as jEdit
    69 buffer.
    70 
    71 * Support for Navigator plugin (with toolbar buttons), with connection
    72 to PIDE hyperlinks.
    73 
    74 * Auxiliary files ('ML_file' etc.) are managed by the Prover IDE.
    75 Open text buffers take precedence over copies within the file-system.
    76 
    77 * Improved support for Isabelle/ML, with jEdit mode "isabelle-ml" for
    78 auxiliary ML files.
    79 
    80 * Improved syntactic and semantic completion mechanism, with simple
    81 templates, completion language context, name-space completion,
    82 file-name completion, spell-checker completion.
    83 
    84 * Refined GUI popup for completion: more robust key/mouse event
    85 handling and propagation to enclosing text area -- avoid loosing
    86 keystrokes with slow / remote graphics displays.
    87 
    88 * Completion popup supports both ENTER and TAB (default) to select an
    89 item, depending on Isabelle options.
    90 
    91 * Refined insertion of completion items wrt. jEdit text: multiple
    92 selections, rectangular selections, rectangular selection as "tall
    93 caret".
    94 
    95 * Integrated spell-checker for document text, comments etc. with
    96 completion popup and context-menu.
    97 
    98 * More general "Query" panel supersedes "Find" panel, with GUI access
    99 to commands 'find_theorems' and 'find_consts', as well as print
   100 operations for the context.  Minor incompatibility in keyboard
   101 shortcuts etc.: replace action isabelle-find by isabelle-query.
   102 
   103 * Search field for all output panels ("Output", "Query", "Info" etc.)
   104 to highlight text via regular expression.
   105 
   106 * Option "jedit_print_mode" (see also "Plugin Options / Isabelle /
   107 General") allows to specify additional print modes for the prover
   108 process, without requiring old-fashioned command-line invocation of
   109 "isabelle jedit -m MODE".
   110 
   111 * More support for remote files (e.g. http) using standard Java
   112 networking operations instead of jEdit virtual file-systems.
   113 
   114 * Empty editors buffers that are no longer required (e.g.\ via theory
   115 imports) are automatically removed from the document model.
   116 
   117 * Improved Console/Scala plugin: more uniform scala.Console output,
   118 more robust treatment of threads and interrupts.
   119 
   120 * Improved management of dockable windows: clarified keyboard focus
   121 and window placement wrt. main editor view; optional menu item to
   122 "Detach" a copy where this makes sense.
   123 
   124 * New Simplifier Trace panel provides an interactive view of the
   125 simplification process, enabled by the "simp_trace_new" attribute
   126 within the context.
   127 
   128 
   129 *** Pure ***
   130 
   131 * Low-level type-class commands 'classes', 'classrel', 'arities' have
   132 been discontinued to avoid the danger of non-trivial axiomatization
   133 that is not immediately visible.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use regular
   134 'instance' command with proof.  The required OFCLASS(...) theorem
   135 might be postulated via 'axiomatization' beforehand, or the proof
   136 finished trivially if the underlying class definition is made vacuous
   137 (without any assumptions).  See also Isabelle/ML operations
   138 Axclass.class_axiomatization, Axclass.classrel_axiomatization,
   139 Axclass.arity_axiomatization.
   140 
   141 * Basic constants of Pure use more conventional names and are always
   142 qualified.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY, but with potentially serious
   143 consequences, notably for tools in Isabelle/ML.  The following
   144 renaming needs to be applied:
   145 
   146   ==             ~>  Pure.eq
   147   ==>            ~>  Pure.imp
   148   all            ~>  Pure.all
   149   TYPE           ~>  Pure.type
   150   dummy_pattern  ~>  Pure.dummy_pattern
   151 
   152 Systematic porting works by using the following theory setup on a
   153 *previous* Isabelle version to introduce the new name accesses for the
   154 old constants:
   155 
   156 setup {*
   157   fn thy => thy
   158     |> Sign.root_path
   159     |> Sign.const_alias (Binding.qualify true "Pure" @{binding eq}) "=="
   160     |> Sign.const_alias (Binding.qualify true "Pure" @{binding imp}) "==>"
   161     |> Sign.const_alias (Binding.qualify true "Pure" @{binding all}) "all"
   162     |> Sign.restore_naming thy
   163 *}
   164 
   165 Thus ML antiquotations like @{const_name Pure.eq} may be used already.
   166 Later the application is moved to the current Isabelle version, and
   167 the auxiliary aliases are deleted.
   168 
   169 * Attributes "where" and "of" allow an optional context of local
   170 variables ('for' declaration): these variables become schematic in the
   171 instantiated theorem.
   172 
   173 * Obsolete attribute "standard" has been discontinued (legacy since
   174 Isabelle2012).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use explicit 'for' context
   175 where instantiations with schematic variables are intended (for
   176 declaration commands like 'lemmas' or attributes like "of").  The
   177 following temporary definition may help to port old applications:
   178 
   179   attribute_setup standard =
   180     "Scan.succeed (Thm.rule_attribute (K Drule.export_without_context))"
   181 
   182 * More thorough check of proof context for goal statements and
   183 attributed fact expressions (concerning background theory, declared
   184 hyps).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, tools need to observe standard
   185 context discipline.  See also Assumption.add_assumes and the more
   186 primitive Thm.assume_hyps.
   187 
   188 * Inner syntax token language allows regular quoted strings "..."
   189 (only makes sense in practice, if outer syntax is delimited
   190 differently, e.g. via cartouches).
   191 
   192 * Command 'print_term_bindings' supersedes 'print_binds' for clarity,
   193 but the latter is retained some time as Proof General legacy.
   194 
   195 * Code generator preprocessor: explicit control of simp tracing on a
   196 per-constant basis.  See attribute "code_preproc".
   197 
   198 
   199 *** HOL ***
   200 
   201 * Code generator: enforce case of identifiers only for strict target
   202 language requirements.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   203 
   204 * Code generator: explicit proof contexts in many ML interfaces.
   205 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   206 
   207 * Code generator: minimize exported identifiers by default.  Minor
   208 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   209 
   210 * Code generation for SML and OCaml: dropped arcane "no_signatures"
   211 option.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   212 
   213 * "declare [[code abort: ...]]" replaces "code_abort ...".
   214 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   215 
   216 * "declare [[code drop: ...]]" drops all code equations associated
   217 with the given constants.
   218 
   219 * Code generations are provided for make, fields, extend and truncate
   220 operations on records.
   221 
   222 * Command and antiquotation "value" are now hardcoded against nbe and
   223 ML.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   224 
   225 * Renamed command 'enriched_type' to 'functor'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
   226 
   227 * The symbol "\<newline>" may be used within char or string literals
   228 to represent (Char Nibble0 NibbleA), i.e. ASCII newline.
   229 
   230 * Qualified String.implode and String.explode.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   231 
   232 * Simplifier: Enhanced solver of preconditions of rewrite rules can
   233 now deal with conjunctions.  For help with converting proofs, the old
   234 behaviour of the simplifier can be restored like this: declare/using
   235 [[simp_legacy_precond]].  This configuration option will disappear
   236 again in the future.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   237 
   238 * Simproc "finite_Collect" is no longer enabled by default, due to
   239 spurious crashes and other surprises.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
   240 
   241 * Moved new (co)datatype package and its dependencies from session
   242   "HOL-BNF" to "HOL".  The commands 'bnf', 'wrap_free_constructors',
   243   'datatype_new', 'codatatype', 'primcorec', 'primcorecursive' are now
   244   part of theory "Main".

   279     BNF/Equiv_Relations_More.thy
   280 
   281 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   282 
   283 * New (co)datatype package:
   284   - Command 'primcorec' is fully implemented.
   285   - Command 'datatype_new' generates size functions ("size_xxx" and
   286     "size") as required by 'fun'.
   287   - BNFs are integrated with the Lifting tool and new-style
   288     (co)datatypes with Transfer.
   289   - Renamed commands:
   290       datatype_new_compat ~> datatype_compat
   291       primrec_new ~> primrec
   292       wrap_free_constructors ~> free_constructors
   293     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   294   - The generated constants "xxx_case" and "xxx_rec" have been renamed
   295     "case_xxx" and "rec_xxx" (e.g., "prod_case" ~> "case_prod").
   296     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   297   - The constant "xxx_(un)fold" and related theorems are no longer
   298     generated.  Use "xxx_(co)rec" or define "xxx_(un)fold" manually
   299     using "prim(co)rec".
   300     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   301   - No discriminators are generated for nullary constructors by
   302     default, eliminating the need for the odd "=:" syntax.
   303     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   304   - No discriminators or selectors are generated by default by
   305     "datatype_new", unless custom names are specified or the new
   306     "discs_sels" option is passed.
   307     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   308 
   309 * Old datatype package:
   310   - The generated theorems "xxx.cases" and "xxx.recs" have been
   311     renamed "xxx.case" and "xxx.rec" (e.g., "sum.cases" ->
   312     "sum.case").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   313   - The generated constants "xxx_case", "xxx_rec", and "xxx_size" have
   314     been renamed "case_xxx", "rec_xxx", and "size_xxx" (e.g.,
   315     "prod_case" ~> "case_prod").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   316 
   317 * The types "'a list" and "'a option", their set and map functions,
   318   their relators, and their selectors are now produced using the new
   319   BNF-based datatype package.
   320 
   321   Renamed constants:
   322     Option.set ~> set_option
   323     Option.map ~> map_option
   324     option_rel ~> rel_option
   325 
   326   Renamed theorems:

   350     vset ~> rel_vset (in "src/HOL/Library/Quotient_Set.thy")
   351 
   352 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   353 
   354 * Lifting and Transfer:
   355   - a type variable as a raw type is supported
   356   - stronger reflexivity prover
   357   - rep_eq is always generated by lift_definition
   358   - setup for Lifting/Transfer is now automated for BNFs
   359     + holds for BNFs that do not contain a dead variable
   360     + relator_eq, relator_mono, relator_distr, relator_domain,
   361       relator_eq_onp, quot_map, transfer rules for bi_unique, bi_total,
   362       right_unique, right_total, left_unique, left_total are proved
   363       automatically
   364     + definition of a predicator is generated automatically
   365     + simplification rules for a predicator definition are proved
   366       automatically for datatypes
   367   - consolidation of the setup of Lifting/Transfer
   368     + property that a relator preservers reflexivity is not needed any
   369       more
   370       Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   371     + left_total and left_unique rules are now transfer rules
   372       (reflexivity_rule attribute not needed anymore)
   373       INCOMPATIBILITY.
   374     + Domainp does not have to be a separate assumption in
   375       relator_domain theorems (=> more natural statement)
   376       INCOMPATIBILITY.
   377   - registration of code equations is more robust
   378     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
   379   - respectfulness proof obligation is preprocessed to a more readable
   380     form
   381     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
   382   - eq_onp is always unfolded in respectfulness proof obligation
   383     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
   384   - unregister lifting setup for Code_Numeral.integer and
   385     Code_Numeral.natural
   386     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
   387   - Lifting.invariant -> eq_onp
   388     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   389 
   390 * New internal SAT solver "cdclite" that produces models and proof
   391 traces.  This solver replaces the internal SAT solvers "enumerate" and
   392 "dpll".  Applications that explicitly used one of these two SAT
   393 solvers should use "cdclite" instead. In addition, "cdclite" is now
   394 the default SAT solver for the "sat" and "satx" proof methods and
   395 corresponding tactics; the old default can be restored using "declare
   396 [[sat_solver = zchaff_with_proofs]]".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   397 
   398 * SMT module: A new version of the SMT module, temporarily called
   399 "SMT2", uses SMT-LIB 2 and supports recent versions of Z3 (e.g.,
   400 4.3). The new proof method is called "smt2". CVC3 and CVC4 are also
   401 supported as oracles. Yices is no longer supported, because no version
   402 of the solver can handle both SMT-LIB 2 and quantifiers.
   403 
   404 * Activation of Z3 now works via "z3_non_commercial" system option
   405 (without requiring restart), instead of former settings variable
   406 "Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL".  The option can be edited in Isabelle/jEdit menu
   407 Plugin Options / Isabelle / General.
   408 
   409 * Sledgehammer:
   410   - Z3 can now produce Isar proofs.
   411   - MaSh overhaul:
   412     . New SML-based learning algorithms eliminate the dependency on
   413       Python and increase performance and reliability.
   414     . MaSh and MeSh are now used by default together with the
   415       traditional MePo (Meng-Paulson) relevance filter. To disable
   416       MaSh, set the "MaSh" system option in Isabelle/jEdit Plugin
   417       Options / Isabelle / General to "none".
   418   - New option:
   419       smt_proofs
   420   - Renamed options:
   421       isar_compress ~> compress
   422       isar_try0 ~> try0
   423 
   424 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   425 
   426 * Removed solvers remote_cvc3 and remote_z3. Use cvc3 and z3 instead.
   427 
   428 * Nitpick:
   429   - Fixed soundness bug whereby mutually recursive datatypes could
   430     take infinite values.
   431   - Fixed soundness bug with low-level number functions such as
   432     "Abs_Integ" and "Rep_Integ".
   433   - Removed "std" option.
   434   - Renamed "show_datatypes" to "show_types" and "hide_datatypes" to
   435     "hide_types".
   436 
   437 * Metis: Removed legacy proof method 'metisFT'. Use 'metis
   438 (full_types)' instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
   439 
   440 * Try0: Added 'algebra' and 'meson' to the set of proof methods.
   441 
   442 * Adjustion of INF and SUP operations:
   443   - Elongated constants INFI and SUPR to INFIMUM and SUPREMUM.
   444   - Consolidated theorem names containing INFI and SUPR: have INF and
   445     SUP instead uniformly.
   446   - More aggressive normalization of expressions involving INF and Inf
   447     or SUP and Sup.
   448   - INF_image and SUP_image do not unfold composition.
   449   - Dropped facts INF_comp, SUP_comp.
   450   - Default congruence rules strong_INF_cong and strong_SUP_cong, with
   451     simplifier implication in premises.  Generalize and replace former
   452     INT_cong, SUP_cong
   453 
   454 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   455 
   456 * SUP and INF generalized to conditionally_complete_lattice.
   457 
   458 * Swapped orientation of facts image_comp and vimage_comp:

   461   image_comp ~> image_comp [symmetric]
   462   vimage_compose ~> vimage_comp [symmetric]
   463   vimage_comp ~> vimage_comp [symmetric]
   464 
   465 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   466 
   467 * Theory reorganization: split of Big_Operators.thy into
   468 Groups_Big.thy and Lattices_Big.thy.

   609 
   610 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   611 
   612 * Abolished neg_numeral.
   613   - Canonical representation for minus one is "- 1".
   614   - Canonical representation for other negative numbers is "- (numeral _)".
   615   - When devising rule sets for number calculation, consider the
   616     following canonical cases: 0, 1, numeral _, - 1, - numeral _.
   617   - HOLogic.dest_number also recognizes numerals in non-canonical forms
   618     like "numeral One", "- numeral One", "- 0" and even "- ... - _".
   619   - Syntax for negative numerals is mere input syntax.
   620 
   621 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   622

   660 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   661 
   662 * More simplification rules on unary and binary minus:
   663 add_diff_cancel, add_diff_cancel_left, add_le_same_cancel1,
   664 add_le_same_cancel2, add_less_same_cancel1, add_less_same_cancel2,

   666 le_add_same_cancel2, less_add_same_cancel1, less_add_same_cancel2,
   667 minus_add_cancel, uminus_add_conv_diff.  These correspondingly have
   668 been taken away from fact collections algebra_simps and field_simps.
   669 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   670 
   671 To restore proofs, the following patterns are helpful:
   672 
   673 a) Arbitrary failing proof not involving "diff_def":
   674 Consider simplification with algebra_simps or field_simps.
   675 
   676 b) Lifting rules from addition to subtraction:
   677 Try with "using <rule for addition> of [... "- _" ...]" by simp".
   678 
   679 c) Simplification with "diff_def": just drop "diff_def".
   680 Consider simplification with algebra_simps or field_simps;
   681 or the brute way with
   682 "simp add: diff_conv_add_uminus del: add_uminus_conv_diff".
   683 
   684 * Introduce bdd_above and bdd_below in theory
   685 Conditionally_Complete_Lattices, use them instead of explicitly
   686 stating boundedness of sets.
   687 
   688 * ccpo.admissible quantifies only over non-empty chains to allow more
   689 syntax-directed proof rules; the case of the empty chain shows up as
   690 additional case in fixpoint induction proofs.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   691 
   692 * Removed and renamed theorems in Series:

   715 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   716 
   717 * Replace (F)DERIV syntax by has_derivative:
   718   - "(f has_derivative f') (at x within s)" replaces "FDERIV f x : s : f'"
   719 
   720   - "(f has_field_derivative f') (at x within s)" replaces "DERIV f x : s : f'"
   721 
   722   - "f differentiable at x within s" replaces "_ differentiable _ in _" syntax
   723 
   724   - removed constant isDiff
   725 
   726   - "DERIV f x : f'" and "FDERIV f x : f'" syntax is only available as
   727     input syntax.
   728 
   729   - "DERIV f x : s : f'" and "FDERIV f x : s : f'" syntax removed.
   730 
   731   - Renamed FDERIV_... lemmas to has_derivative_...
   732 
   733   - renamed deriv (the syntax constant used for "DERIV _ _ :> _") to DERIV
   734 
   735   - removed DERIV_intros, has_derivative_eq_intros
   736 
   737   - introduced derivative_intros and deriative_eq_intros which
   738     includes now rules for DERIV, has_derivative and
   739     has_vector_derivative.
   740

   749 
   750 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   751 
   752 * Include more theorems in continuous_intros. Remove the
   753 continuous_on_intros, isCont_intros collections, these facts are now
   754 in continuous_intros.
   755 
   756 * Theorems about complex numbers are now stated only using Re and Im,
   757 the Complex constructor is not used anymore. It is possible to use
   758 primcorec to defined the behaviour of a complex-valued function.
   759 
   760 Removed theorems about the Complex constructor from the simpset, they
   761 are available as the lemma collection legacy_Complex_simps. This
   762 especially removes
   763 
   764     i_complex_of_real: "ii * complex_of_real r = Complex 0 r".
   765 
   766 Instead the reverse direction is supported with
   767     Complex_eq: "Complex a b = a + \<i> * b"

   801 * Theory Lubs moved HOL image to HOL-Library. It is replaced by
   802 Conditionally_Complete_Lattices.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   803 
   804 * HOL-Library: new theory src/HOL/Library/Tree.thy.
   805 
   806 * HOL-Library: removed theory src/HOL/Library/Kleene_Algebra.thy; it
   807 is subsumed by session Kleene_Algebra in AFP.
   808 
   809 * HOL-Library / theory RBT: various constants and facts are hidden;
   810 lifting setup is unregistered.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   811 
   812 * HOL-Cardinals: new theory src/HOL/Cardinals/Ordinal_Arithmetic.thy.
   813 
   814 * HOL-Word: bit representations prefer type bool over type bit.
   815 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   816 
   817 * HOL-Word:
   818   - Abandoned fact collection "word_arith_alts", which is a duplicate
   819     of "word_arith_wis".
   820   - Dropped first (duplicated) element in fact collections
   821     "sint_word_ariths", "word_arith_alts", "uint_word_ariths",
   822     "uint_word_arith_bintrs".
   823 
   824 * HOL-Number_Theory:
   825   - consolidated the proofs of the binomial theorem
   826   - the function fib is again of type nat => nat and not overloaded
   827   - no more references to Old_Number_Theory in the HOL libraries
   828     (except the AFP)
   829 
   830 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   831 
   832 * HOL-Multivariate_Analysis:
   833   - Type class ordered_real_vector for ordered vector spaces.
   834   - New theory Complex_Basic_Analysis defining complex derivatives,
   835     holomorphic functions, etc., ported from HOL Light's canal.ml.
   836   - Changed order of ordered_euclidean_space to be compatible with
   837     pointwise ordering on products. Therefore instance of
   838     conditionally_complete_lattice and ordered_real_vector.
   839     INCOMPATIBILITY: use box instead of greaterThanLessThan or
   840     explicit set-comprehensions with eucl_less for other (half-)open
   841     intervals.
   842   - removed dependencies on type class ordered_euclidean_space with
   843     introduction of "cbox" on euclidean_space

   907       positive_integral_positive ~> nn_integral_nonneg
   908 
   909     . Renamed abbreviation integral\<^sup>P to integral\<^sup>N.

   965     lebesgue_integral_nonneg
   966     lebesgue_integral_uminus
   967     lebesgue_integral_cmult

   969     lebesgue_integral_cmult_nonneg
   970     integral_cmul_indicator
   971     integral_real
   972 
   973   - Formalized properties about exponentially, Erlang, and normal
   974     distributed random variables.
   975 
   976 * HOL-Decision_Procs: Separate command 'approximate' for approximative
   977 computation in src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation.  Minor
   978 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   979 
   980 
   981 *** Scala ***
   982 
   983 * The signature and semantics of Document.Snapshot.cumulate_markup /
   984 select_markup have been clarified.  Markup is now traversed in the
   985 order of reports given by the prover: later markup is usually more
   986 specific and may override results accumulated so far.  The elements
   987 guard is mandatory and checked precisely.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
   988 
   989 * Substantial reworking of internal PIDE protocol communication
   990 channels.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   991 
   992 
   993 *** ML ***
   994 
   995 * Subtle change of semantics of Thm.eq_thm: theory stamps are not
   996 compared (according to Thm.thm_ord), but assumed to be covered by the
   997 current background theory.  Thus equivalent data produced in different
   998 branches of the theory graph usually coincides (e.g. relevant for
   999 theory merge).  Note that the softer Thm.eq_thm_prop is often more
  1000 appropriate than Thm.eq_thm.
  1001 
  1002 * Proper context for basic Simplifier operations: rewrite_rule,
  1003 rewrite_goals_rule, rewrite_goals_tac etc. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to
  1004 pass runtime Proof.context (and ensure that the simplified entity
  1005 actually belongs to it).
  1006 
  1007 * Proper context discipline for read_instantiate and instantiate_tac:
  1008 variables that are meant to become schematic need to be given as
  1009 fixed, and are generalized by the explicit context of local variables.
  1010 This corresponds to Isar attributes "where" and "of" with 'for'
  1011 declaration.  INCOMPATIBILITY, also due to potential change of indices
  1012 of schematic variables.
  1013 
  1014 * Moved ML_Compiler.exn_trace and other operations on exceptions to
  1015 structure Runtime.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1016 
  1017 * Discontinued old Toplevel.debug in favour of system option
  1018 "ML_exception_trace", which may be also declared within the context
  1019 via "declare [[ML_exception_trace = true]]".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1020 
  1021 * Renamed configuration option "ML_trace" to "ML_source_trace". Minor
  1022 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1023 
  1024 * Configuration option "ML_print_depth" controls the pretty-printing
  1025 depth of the ML compiler within the context.  The old print_depth in
  1026 ML is still available as default_print_depth, but rarely used.  Minor
  1027 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1028 
  1029 * Toplevel function "use" refers to raw ML bootstrap environment,
  1030 without Isar context nor antiquotations.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1031 Note that 'ML_file' is the canonical command to load ML files into the
  1032 formal context.
  1033 
  1034 * Simplified programming interface to define ML antiquotations, see
  1035 structure ML_Antiquotation.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1036 
  1037 * ML antiquotation @{here} refers to its source position, which is
  1038 occasionally useful for experimentation and diagnostic purposes.
  1039 
  1040 * ML antiquotation @{path} produces a Path.T value, similarly to
  1041 Path.explode, but with compile-time check against the file-system and
  1042 some PIDE markup.  Note that unlike theory source, ML does not have a
  1043 well-defined master directory, so an absolute symbolic path
  1044 specification is usually required, e.g. "~~/src/HOL".
  1045 
  1046 * ML antiquotation @{print} inlines a function to print an arbitrary
  1047 ML value, which is occasionally useful for diagnostic or demonstration
  1048 purposes.
  1049 
  1050 
  1051 *** System ***
  1052 
  1053 * Proof General with its traditional helper scripts is now an optional
  1054 Isabelle component, e.g. see ProofGeneral-4.2-2 from the Isabelle
  1055 component repository http://isabelle.in.tum.de/components/.  Note that
  1056 the "system" manual provides general explanations about add-on
  1057 components, especially those that are not bundled with the release.
  1058 
  1059 * The raw Isabelle process executable has been renamed from
  1060 "isabelle-process" to "isabelle_process", which conforms to common
  1061 shell naming conventions, and allows to define a shell function within
  1062 the Isabelle environment to avoid dynamic path lookup.  Rare
  1063 incompatibility for old tools that do not use the ISABELLE_PROCESS
  1064 settings variable.
  1065 
  1066 * Former "isabelle tty" has been superseded by "isabelle console",
  1067 with implicit build like "isabelle jedit", and without the mostly
  1068 obsolete Isar TTY loop.
  1069 
  1070 * Simplified "isabelle display" tool.  Settings variables DVI_VIEWER
  1071 and PDF_VIEWER now refer to the actual programs, not shell
  1072 command-lines.  Discontinued option -c: invocation may be asynchronous
  1073 via desktop environment, without any special precautions.  Potential
  1074 INCOMPATIBILITY with ambitious private settings.
  1075 
  1076 * Removed obsolete "isabelle unsymbolize".  Note that the usual format
  1077 for email communication is the Unicode rendering of Isabelle symbols,
  1078 as produced by Isabelle/jEdit, for example.
  1079 
  1080 * Removed obsolete tool "wwwfind". Similar functionality may be
  1081 integrated into Isabelle/jEdit eventually.
  1082 
  1083 * Improved 'display_drafts' concerning desktop integration and
  1084 repeated invocation in PIDE front-end: re-use single file
  1085 $ISABELLE_HOME_USER/tmp/drafts.pdf and corresponding views.
  1086 
  1087 * Session ROOT specifications require explicit 'document_files' for
  1088 robust dependencies on LaTeX sources.  Only these explicitly given
  1089 files are copied to the document output directory, before document
  1090 processing is started.
  1091 
  1092 * Windows: support for regular TeX installation (e.g. MiKTeX) instead
  1093 of TeX Live from Cygwin.
  1094 
  1095 
  1096 
  1097 New in Isabelle2013-2 (December 2013)
  1098 -------------------------------------
  1099 
  1100 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
  1101 
  1102 * More robust editing of running commands with internal forks,
  1103 e.g. non-terminating 'by' steps.
  1104 
  1105 * More relaxed Sledgehammer panel: avoid repeated application of query
  1106 after edits surrounding the command location.
  1107 
  1108 * More status information about commands that are interrupted
  1109 accidentally (via physical event or Poly/ML runtime system signal,
  1110 e.g. out-of-memory).
  1111 
  1112 
  1113 *** System ***
  1114 
  1115 * More robust termination of external processes managed by
  1116 Isabelle/ML: support cancellation of tasks within the range of
  1117 milliseconds, as required for PIDE document editing with automatically
  1118 tried tools (e.g. Sledgehammer).
  1119 
  1120 * Reactivated Isabelle/Scala kill command for external processes on
  1121 Mac OS X, which was accidentally broken in Isabelle2013-1 due to a
  1122 workaround for some Debian/Ubuntu Linux versions from 2013.
  1123 
  1124 
  1125 
  1126 New in Isabelle2013-1 (November 2013)
  1127 -------------------------------------
  1128 
  1129 *** General ***
  1130 
  1131 * Discontinued obsolete 'uses' within theory header.  Note that
  1132 commands like 'ML_file' work without separate declaration of file
  1133 dependencies.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1134 
  1135 * Discontinued redundant 'use' command, which was superseded by
  1136 'ML_file' in Isabelle2013.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1137 
  1138 * Simplified subscripts within identifiers, using plain \<^sub>
  1139 instead of the second copy \<^isub> and \<^isup>.  Superscripts are
  1140 only for literal tokens within notation; explicit mixfix annotations
  1141 for consts or fixed variables may be used as fall-back for unusual
  1142 names.  Obsolete \<twosuperior> has been expanded to \<^sup>2 in
  1143 Isabelle/HOL.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "isabelle update_sub_sup" to
  1144 standardize symbols as a starting point for further manual cleanup.
  1145 The ML reference variable "legacy_isub_isup" may be set as temporary
  1146 workaround, to make the prover accept a subset of the old identifier
  1147 syntax.
  1148 
  1149 * Document antiquotations: term style "isub" has been renamed to
  1150 "sub".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1151 
  1152 * Uniform management of "quick_and_dirty" as system option (see also
  1153 "isabelle options"), configuration option within the context (see also
  1154 Config.get in Isabelle/ML), and attribute in Isabelle/Isar.  Minor
  1155 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use more official Isabelle means to access
  1156 quick_and_dirty, instead of historical poking into mutable reference.
  1157 
  1158 * Renamed command 'print_configs' to 'print_options'.  Minor
  1159 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1160 
  1161 * Proper diagnostic command 'print_state'.  Old 'pr' (with its
  1162 implicit change of some global references) is retained for now as
  1163 control command, e.g. for ProofGeneral 3.7.x.
  1164 
  1165 * Discontinued 'print_drafts' command with its old-fashioned PS output
  1166 and Unix command-line print spooling.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: use
  1167 'display_drafts' instead and print via the regular document viewer.
  1168 
  1169 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual,
  1170 eliminated old "ref" manual.
  1171 
  1172 
  1173 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
  1174 
  1175 * New manual "jedit" for Isabelle/jEdit, see isabelle doc or
  1176 Documentation panel.
  1177 
  1178 * Dockable window "Documentation" provides access to Isabelle
  1179 documentation.
  1180 
  1181 * Dockable window "Find" provides query operations for formal entities
  1182 (GUI front-end to 'find_theorems' command).
  1183 
  1184 * Dockable window "Sledgehammer" manages asynchronous / parallel
  1185 sledgehammer runs over existing document sources, independently of
  1186 normal editing and checking process.
  1187 
  1188 * Dockable window "Timing" provides an overview of relevant command
  1189 timing information, depending on option jedit_timing_threshold.  The
  1190 same timing information is shown in the extended tooltip of the
  1191 command keyword, when hovering the mouse over it while the CONTROL or
  1192 COMMAND modifier is pressed.
  1193 
  1194 * Improved dockable window "Theories": Continuous checking of proof
  1195 document (visible and required parts) may be controlled explicitly,
  1196 using check box or shortcut "C+e ENTER".  Individual theory nodes may
  1197 be marked explicitly as required and checked in full, using check box
  1198 or shortcut "C+e SPACE".
  1199 
  1200 * Improved completion mechanism, which is now managed by the
  1201 Isabelle/jEdit plugin instead of SideKick.  Refined table of Isabelle
  1202 symbol abbreviations (see $ISABELLE_HOME/etc/symbols).
  1203 
  1204 * Standard jEdit keyboard shortcut C+b complete-word is remapped to
  1205 isabelle.complete for explicit completion in Isabelle sources.
  1206 INCOMPATIBILITY wrt. jEdit defaults, may have to invent new shortcuts
  1207 to resolve conflict.
  1208 
  1209 * Improved support of various "minor modes" for Isabelle NEWS,
  1210 options, session ROOT etc., with completion and SideKick tree view.
  1211 
  1212 * Strictly monotonic document update, without premature cancellation of
  1213 running transactions that are still needed: avoid reset/restart of
  1214 such command executions while editing.
  1215 
  1216 * Support for asynchronous print functions, as overlay to existing
  1217 document content.
  1218 
  1219 * Support for automatic tools in HOL, which try to prove or disprove
  1220 toplevel theorem statements.
  1221 
  1222 * Action isabelle.reset-font-size resets main text area font size
  1223 according to Isabelle/Scala plugin option "jedit_font_reset_size" (see
  1224 also "Plugin Options / Isabelle / General").  It can be bound to some
  1225 keyboard shortcut by the user (e.g. C+0 and/or C+NUMPAD0).
  1226 
  1227 * File specifications in jEdit (e.g. file browser) may refer to
  1228 $ISABELLE_HOME and $ISABELLE_HOME_USER on all platforms.  Discontinued
  1229 obsolete $ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS variable.
  1230 
  1231 * Improved support for Linux look-and-feel "GTK+", see also "Utilities
  1232 / Global Options / Appearance".
  1233 
  1234 * Improved support of native Mac OS X functionality via "MacOSX"
  1235 plugin, which is now enabled by default.
  1236 
  1237 
  1238 *** Pure ***
  1239 
  1240 * Commands 'interpretation' and 'sublocale' are now target-sensitive.
  1241 In particular, 'interpretation' allows for non-persistent
  1242 interpretation within "context ... begin ... end" blocks offering a
  1243 light-weight alternative to 'sublocale'.  See "isar-ref" manual for
  1244 details.
  1245 
  1246 * Improved locales diagnostic command 'print_dependencies'.
  1247 
  1248 * Discontinued obsolete 'axioms' command, which has been marked as
  1249 legacy since Isabelle2009-2.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use 'axiomatization'
  1250 instead, while observing its uniform scope for polymorphism.
  1251 
  1252 * Discontinued empty name bindings in 'axiomatization'.
  1253 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1254 
  1255 * System option "proofs" has been discontinued.  Instead the global
  1256 state of Proofterm.proofs is persistently compiled into logic images
  1257 as required, notably HOL-Proofs.  Users no longer need to change
  1258 Proofterm.proofs dynamically.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1259 
  1260 * Syntax translation functions (print_translation etc.) always depend
  1261 on Proof.context.  Discontinued former "(advanced)" option -- this is
  1262 now the default.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1263 
  1264 * Former global reference trace_unify_fail is now available as
  1265 configuration option "unify_trace_failure" (global context only).
  1266 
  1267 * SELECT_GOAL now retains the syntactic context of the overall goal
  1268 state (schematic variables etc.).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare
  1269 situations.
  1270 
  1271 
  1272 *** HOL ***
  1273 
  1274 * Stronger precedence of syntax for big intersection and union on
  1275 sets, in accordance with corresponding lattice operations.
  1276 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1277 
  1278 * Notation "{p:A. P}" now allows tuple patterns as well.
  1279 
  1280 * Nested case expressions are now translated in a separate check phase
  1281 rather than during parsing. The data for case combinators is separated
  1282 from the datatype package. The declaration attribute
  1283 "case_translation" can be used to register new case combinators:
  1284 
  1285   declare [[case_translation case_combinator constructor1 ... constructorN]]
  1286 
  1287 * Code generator:
  1288   - 'code_printing' unifies 'code_const' / 'code_type' / 'code_class' /
  1289     'code_instance'.
  1290   - 'code_identifier' declares name hints for arbitrary identifiers in
  1291     generated code, subsuming 'code_modulename'.
  1292 
  1293 See the isar-ref manual for syntax diagrams, and the HOL theories for
  1294 examples.
  1295 
  1296 * Attibute 'code': 'code' now declares concrete and abstract code
  1297 equations uniformly.  Use explicit 'code equation' and 'code abstract'
  1298 to distinguish both when desired.
  1299 
  1300 * Discontinued theories Code_Integer and Efficient_Nat by a more
  1301 fine-grain stack of theories Code_Target_Int, Code_Binary_Nat,
  1302 Code_Target_Nat and Code_Target_Numeral.  See the tutorial on code
  1303 generation for details.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1304 
  1305 * Numeric types are mapped by default to target language numerals:
  1306 natural (replaces former code_numeral) and integer (replaces former
  1307 code_int).  Conversions are available as integer_of_natural /
  1308 natural_of_integer / integer_of_nat / nat_of_integer (in HOL) and
  1309 Code_Numeral.integer_of_natural / Code_Numeral.natural_of_integer (in
  1310 ML).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1311 
  1312 * Function package: For mutually recursive functions f and g, separate
  1313 cases rules f.cases and g.cases are generated instead of unusable
  1314 f_g.cases which exposed internal sum types. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
  1315 in the case that the unusable rule was used nevertheless.
  1316 
  1317 * Function package: For each function f, new rules f.elims are
  1318 generated, which eliminate equalities of the form "f x = t".
  1319 
  1320 * New command 'fun_cases' derives ad-hoc elimination rules for
  1321 function equations as simplified instances of f.elims, analogous to
  1322 inductive_cases.  See ~~/src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy for some examples.
  1323 
  1324 * Lifting:
  1325   - parametrized correspondence relations are now supported:
  1326     + parametricity theorems for the raw term can be specified in
  1327       the command lift_definition, which allow us to generate stronger
  1328       transfer rules
  1329     + setup_lifting generates stronger transfer rules if parametric
  1330       correspondence relation can be generated
  1331     + various new properties of the relator must be specified to support
  1332       parametricity
  1333     + parametricity theorem for the Quotient relation can be specified
  1334   - setup_lifting generates domain rules for the Transfer package
  1335   - stronger reflexivity prover of respectfulness theorems for type
  1336     copies
  1337   - ===> and --> are now local. The symbols can be introduced
  1338     by interpreting the locale lifting_syntax (typically in an
  1339     anonymous context)
  1340   - Lifting/Transfer relevant parts of Library/Quotient_* are now in
  1341     Main. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  1342   - new commands for restoring and deleting Lifting/Transfer context:
  1343     lifting_forget, lifting_update
  1344   - the command print_quotmaps was renamed to print_quot_maps.
  1345     INCOMPATIBILITY
  1346 
  1347 * Transfer:
  1348   - better support for domains in Transfer: replace Domainp T
  1349     by the actual invariant in a transferred goal
  1350   - transfer rules can have as assumptions other transfer rules
  1351   - Experimental support for transferring from the raw level to the
  1352     abstract level: Transfer.transferred attribute
  1353   - Attribute version of the transfer method: untransferred attribute
  1354 
  1355 * Reification and reflection:
  1356   - Reification is now directly available in HOL-Main in structure
  1357     "Reification".
  1358   - Reflection now handles multiple lists with variables also.
  1359   - The whole reflection stack has been decomposed into conversions.
  1360 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1361 
  1362 * Revised devices for recursive definitions over finite sets:
  1363   - Only one fundamental fold combinator on finite set remains:
  1364     Finite_Set.fold :: ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  1365     This is now identity on infinite sets.
  1366   - Locales ("mini packages") for fundamental definitions with
  1367     Finite_Set.fold: folding, folding_idem.
  1368   - Locales comm_monoid_set, semilattice_order_set and
  1369     semilattice_neutr_order_set for big operators on sets.
  1370     See theory Big_Operators for canonical examples.
  1371     Note that foundational constants comm_monoid_set.F and
  1372     semilattice_set.F correspond to former combinators fold_image
  1373     and fold1 respectively.  These are now gone.  You may use
  1374     those foundational constants as substitutes, but it is
  1375     preferable to interpret the above locales accordingly.
  1376   - Dropped class ab_semigroup_idem_mult (special case of lattice,
  1377     no longer needed in connection with Finite_Set.fold etc.)
  1378   - Fact renames:
  1379       card.union_inter ~> card_Un_Int [symmetric]
  1380       card.union_disjoint ~> card_Un_disjoint
  1381 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1382 
  1383 * Locale hierarchy for abstract orderings and (semi)lattices.
  1384 
  1385 * Complete_Partial_Order.admissible is defined outside the type class
  1386 ccpo, but with mandatory prefix ccpo. Admissibility theorems lose the
  1387 class predicate assumption or sort constraint when possible.
  1388 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1389 
  1390 * Introduce type class "conditionally_complete_lattice": Like a
  1391 complete lattice but does not assume the existence of the top and
  1392 bottom elements.  Allows to generalize some lemmas about reals and
  1393 extended reals.  Removed SupInf and replaced it by the instantiation
  1394 of conditionally_complete_lattice for real. Renamed lemmas about
  1395 conditionally-complete lattice from Sup_... to cSup_... and from
  1396 Inf_...  to cInf_... to avoid hidding of similar complete lattice
  1397 lemmas.
  1398 
  1399 * Introduce type class linear_continuum as combination of
  1400 conditionally-complete lattices and inner dense linorders which have
  1401 more than one element.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1402 
  1403 * Introduced type classes order_top and order_bot. The old classes top
  1404 and bot only contain the syntax without assumptions.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  1405 Rename bot -> order_bot, top -> order_top
  1406 
  1407 * Introduce type classes "no_top" and "no_bot" for orderings without
  1408 top and bottom elements.
  1409 
  1410 * Split dense_linorder into inner_dense_order and no_top, no_bot.
  1411 
  1412 * Complex_Main: Unify and move various concepts from
  1413 HOL-Multivariate_Analysis to HOL-Complex_Main.
  1414 
  1415  - Introduce type class (lin)order_topology and
  1416    linear_continuum_topology.  Allows to generalize theorems about
  1417    limits and order.  Instances are reals and extended reals.
  1418 
  1419  - continuous and continuos_on from Multivariate_Analysis:
  1420    "continuous" is the continuity of a function at a filter.  "isCont"
  1421    is now an abbrevitation: "isCont x f == continuous (at _) f".
  1422 
  1423    Generalized continuity lemmas from isCont to continuous on an
  1424    arbitrary filter.
  1425 
  1426  - compact from Multivariate_Analysis. Use Bolzano's lemma to prove
  1427    compactness of closed intervals on reals. Continuous functions
  1428    attain infimum and supremum on compact sets. The inverse of a
  1429    continuous function is continuous, when the function is continuous
  1430    on a compact set.
  1431 
  1432  - connected from Multivariate_Analysis. Use it to prove the
  1433    intermediate value theorem. Show connectedness of intervals on
  1434    linear_continuum_topology).
  1435 
  1436  - first_countable_topology from Multivariate_Analysis. Is used to
  1437    show equivalence of properties on the neighbourhood filter of x and
  1438    on all sequences converging to x.
  1439 
  1440  - FDERIV: Definition of has_derivative moved to Deriv.thy. Moved
  1441    theorems from Library/FDERIV.thy to Deriv.thy and base the
  1442    definition of DERIV on FDERIV. Add variants of DERIV and FDERIV
  1443    which are restricted to sets, i.e. to represent derivatives from
  1444    left or right.
  1445 
  1446  - Removed the within-filter. It is replaced by the principal filter:
  1447 
  1448      F within X = inf F (principal X)
  1449 
  1450  - Introduce "at x within U" as a single constant, "at x" is now an
  1451    abbreviation for "at x within UNIV"
  1452 
  1453  - Introduce named theorem collections tendsto_intros,
  1454    continuous_intros, continuous_on_intros and FDERIV_intros. Theorems
  1455    in tendsto_intros (or FDERIV_intros) are also available as
  1456    tendsto_eq_intros (or FDERIV_eq_intros) where the right-hand side
  1457    is replaced by a congruence rule. This allows to apply them as
  1458    intro rules and then proving equivalence by the simplifier.
  1459 
  1460  - Restructured theories in HOL-Complex_Main:
  1461 
  1462    + Moved RealDef and RComplete into Real
  1463 
  1464    + Introduced Topological_Spaces and moved theorems about
  1465      topological spaces, filters, limits and continuity to it
  1466 
  1467    + Renamed RealVector to Real_Vector_Spaces
  1468 
  1469    + Split Lim, SEQ, Series into Topological_Spaces,
  1470      Real_Vector_Spaces, and Limits
  1471 
  1472    + Moved Ln and Log to Transcendental
  1473 
  1474    + Moved theorems about continuity from Deriv to Topological_Spaces
  1475 
  1476  - Remove various auxiliary lemmas.
  1477 
  1478 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1479 
  1480 * Nitpick:
  1481   - Added option "spy".
  1482   - Reduce incidence of "too high arity" errors.
  1483 
  1484 * Sledgehammer:
  1485   - Renamed option:
  1486       isar_shrink ~> isar_compress
  1487     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1488   - Added options "isar_try0", "spy".
  1489   - Better support for "isar_proofs".
  1490   - MaSh has been fined-tuned and now runs as a local server.
  1491 
  1492 * Improved support for ad hoc overloading of constants (see also
  1493 isar-ref manual and ~~/src/HOL/ex/Adhoc_Overloading_Examples.thy).
  1494 
  1495 * Library/Polynomial.thy:
  1496   - Use lifting for primitive definitions.
  1497   - Explicit conversions from and to lists of coefficients, used for
  1498     generated code.
  1499   - Replaced recursion operator poly_rec by fold_coeffs.
  1500   - Prefer pre-existing gcd operation for gcd.
  1501   - Fact renames:
  1502     poly_eq_iff ~> poly_eq_poly_eq_iff
  1503     poly_ext ~> poly_eqI
  1504     expand_poly_eq ~> poly_eq_iff
  1505 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
  1506 
  1507 * New Library/Simps_Case_Conv.thy: Provides commands simps_of_case and
  1508 case_of_simps to convert function definitions between a list of
  1509 equations with patterns on the lhs and a single equation with case
  1510 expressions on the rhs. See also Ex/Simps_Case_Conv_Examples.thy.
  1511 
  1512 * New Library/FSet.thy: type of finite sets defined as a subtype of
  1513 sets defined by Lifting/Transfer.
  1514 
  1515 * Discontinued theory src/HOL/Library/Eval_Witness.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1516 
  1517 * Consolidation of library theories on product orders:
  1518 
  1519     Product_Lattice ~> Product_Order -- pointwise order on products
  1520     Product_ord ~> Product_Lexorder -- lexicographic order on products
  1521 
  1522 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1523 
  1524 * Imperative-HOL: The MREC combinator is considered legacy and no
  1525 longer included by default. INCOMPATIBILITY, use partial_function
  1526 instead, or import theory Legacy_Mrec as a fallback.
  1527 
  1528 * HOL-Algebra: Discontinued theories ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/abstract and
  1529 ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/poly.  Existing theories should be based on
  1530 ~~/src/HOL/Library/Polynomial instead.  The latter provides
  1531 integration with HOL's type classes for rings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1532 
  1533 * HOL-BNF:
  1534   - Various improvements to BNF-based (co)datatype package, including
  1535     new commands "primrec_new", "primcorec", and
  1536     "datatype_new_compat", as well as documentation. See
  1537     "datatypes.pdf" for details.
  1538   - New "coinduction" method to avoid some boilerplate (compared to
  1539     coinduct).
  1540   - Renamed keywords:
  1541     data ~> datatype_new
  1542     codata ~> codatatype
  1543     bnf_def ~> bnf
  1544   - Renamed many generated theorems, including
  1545     discs ~> disc
  1546     map_comp' ~> map_comp
  1547     map_id' ~> map_id
  1548     sels ~> sel
  1549     set_map' ~> set_map
  1550     sets ~> set
  1551 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
  1552 
  1553 
  1554 *** ML ***
  1555 
  1556 * Spec_Check is a Quickcheck tool for Isabelle/ML.  The ML function
  1557 "check_property" allows to check specifications of the form "ALL x y
  1558 z. prop x y z".  See also ~~/src/Tools/Spec_Check/ with its
  1559 Examples.thy in particular.
  1560 
  1561 * Improved printing of exception trace in Poly/ML 5.5.1, with regular
  1562 tracing output in the command transaction context instead of physical
  1563 stdout.  See also Toplevel.debug, Toplevel.debugging and
  1564 ML_Compiler.exn_trace.
  1565 
  1566 * ML type "theory" is now immutable, without any special treatment of
  1567 drafts or linear updates (which could lead to "stale theory" errors in
  1568 the past).  Discontinued obsolete operations like Theory.copy,
  1569 Theory.checkpoint, and the auxiliary type theory_ref.  Minor
  1570 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1571 
  1572 * More uniform naming of goal functions for skipped proofs:
  1573 
  1574     Skip_Proof.prove  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry
  1575     Skip_Proof.prove_global  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry_global
  1576 
  1577 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1578 
  1579 * Simplifier tactics and tools use proper Proof.context instead of
  1580 historic type simpset.  Old-style declarations like addsimps,
  1581 addsimprocs etc. operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type simpset
  1582 retains its use as snapshot of the main Simplifier context, using
  1583 simpset_of and put_simpset on Proof.context.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- port
  1584 old tools by making them depend on (ctxt : Proof.context) instead of
  1585 (ss : simpset), then turn (simpset_of ctxt) into ctxt.
  1586 
  1587 * Modifiers for classical wrappers (e.g. addWrapper, delWrapper)
  1588 operate on Proof.context instead of claset, for uniformity with addIs,
  1589 addEs, addDs etc. Note that claset_of and put_claset allow to manage
  1590 clasets separately from the context.
  1591 
  1592 * Discontinued obsolete ML antiquotations @{claset} and @{simpset}.
  1593 INCOMPATIBILITY, use @{context} instead.
  1594 
  1595 * Antiquotation @{theory_context A} is similar to @{theory A}, but
  1596 presents the result as initial Proof.context.
  1597 
  1598 
  1599 *** System ***
  1600 
  1601 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle usedir, mkdir, make -- superseded by
  1602 "isabelle build" in Isabelle2013.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1603 
  1604 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle-process options -f and -u (former
  1605 administrative aliases of option -e).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1606 
  1607 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle print tool, and PRINT_COMMAND
  1608 settings variable.
  1609 
  1610 * Discontinued ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT settings variable and historic
  1611 document formats: dvi.gz, ps, ps.gz -- the default document format is
  1612 always pdf.
  1613 
  1614 * Isabelle settings variable ISABELLE_BUILD_JAVA_OPTIONS allows to
  1615 specify global resources of the JVM process run by isabelle build.
  1616 
  1617 * Toplevel executable $ISABELLE_HOME/bin/isabelle_scala_script allows
  1618 to run Isabelle/Scala source files as standalone programs.
  1619 
  1620 * Improved "isabelle keywords" tool (for old-style ProofGeneral
  1621 keyword tables): use Isabelle/Scala operations, which inspect outer
  1622 syntax without requiring to build sessions first.
  1623 
  1624 * Sessions may be organized via 'chapter' specifications in the ROOT
  1625 file, which determines a two-level hierarchy of browser info.  The old
  1626 tree-like organization via implicit sub-session relation (with its
  1627 tendency towards erratic fluctuation of URLs) has been discontinued.
  1628 The default chapter is called "Unsorted".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  1629 for HTML presentation of theories.

  1633 New in Isabelle2013 (February 2013)
  1634 -----------------------------------
  1635 
  1636 *** General ***
  1637 
  1638 * Theorem status about oracles and unfinished/failed future proofs is
  1639 no longer printed by default, since it is incompatible with
  1640 incremental / parallel checking of the persistent document model.  ML
  1641 function Thm.peek_status may be used to inspect a snapshot of the
  1642 ongoing evaluation process.  Note that in batch mode --- notably
  1643 isabelle build --- the system ensures that future proofs of all
  1644 accessible theorems in the theory context are finished (as before).
  1645 
  1646 * Configuration option show_markup controls direct inlining of markup
  1647 into the printed representation of formal entities --- notably type
  1648 and sort constraints.  This enables Prover IDE users to retrieve that
  1649 information via tooltips in the output window, for example.
  1650 
  1651 * Command 'ML_file' evaluates ML text from a file directly within the
  1652 theory, without any predeclaration via 'uses' in the theory header.
  1653 
  1654 * Old command 'use' command and corresponding keyword 'uses' in the
  1655 theory header are legacy features and will be discontinued soon.
  1656 Tools that load their additional source files may imitate the
  1657 'ML_file' implementation, such that the system can take care of
  1658 dependencies properly.
  1659 
  1660 * Discontinued obsolete method fastsimp / tactic fast_simp_tac, which
  1661 is called fastforce / fast_force_tac already since Isabelle2011-1.
  1662 
  1663 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual, reduced
  1664 remaining material in old "ref" manual.
  1665 
  1666 * Improved support for auxiliary contexts that indicate block structure
  1667 for specifications.  Nesting of "context fixes ... context assumes ..."
  1668 and "class ... context ...".
  1669 
  1670 * Attribute "consumes" allows a negative value as well, which is
  1671 interpreted relatively to the total number of premises of the rule in
  1672 the target context.  This form of declaration is stable when exported
  1673 from a nested 'context' with additional assumptions.  It is the
  1674 preferred form for definitional packages, notably cases/rules produced
  1675 in HOL/inductive and HOL/function.
  1676 
  1677 * More informative error messages for Isar proof commands involving
  1678 lazy enumerations (method applications etc.).
  1679 
  1680 * Refined 'help' command to retrieve outer syntax commands according
  1681 to name patterns (with clickable results).
  1682 
  1683 
  1684 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
  1685 
  1686 * Parallel terminal proofs ('by') are enabled by default, likewise
  1687 proofs that are built into packages like 'datatype', 'function'.  This
  1688 allows to "run ahead" checking the theory specifications on the
  1689 surface, while the prover is still crunching on internal
  1690 justifications.  Unfinished / cancelled proofs are restarted as
  1691 required to complete full proof checking eventually.
  1692 
  1693 * Improved output panel with tooltips, hyperlinks etc. based on the
  1694 same Rich_Text_Area as regular Isabelle/jEdit buffers.  Activation of
  1695 tooltips leads to some window that supports the same recursively,
  1696 which can lead to stacks of tooltips as the semantic document content
  1697 is explored.  ESCAPE closes the whole stack, individual windows may be
  1698 closed separately, or detached to become independent jEdit dockables.
  1699 
  1700 * Improved support for commands that produce graph output: the text
  1701 message contains a clickable area to open a new instance of the graph
  1702 browser on demand.
  1703 
  1704 * More robust incremental parsing of outer syntax (partial comments,
  1705 malformed symbols).  Changing the balance of open/close quotes and
  1706 comment delimiters works more conveniently with unfinished situations
  1707 that frequently occur in user interaction.
  1708 
  1709 * More efficient painting and improved reactivity when editing large
  1710 files.  More scalable management of formal document content.
  1711 
  1712 * Smarter handling of tracing messages: prover process pauses after
  1713 certain number of messages per command transaction, with some user
  1714 dialog to stop or continue.  This avoids swamping the front-end with
  1715 potentially infinite message streams.
  1716 
  1717 * More plugin options and preferences, based on Isabelle/Scala.  The
  1718 jEdit plugin option panel provides access to some Isabelle/Scala
  1719 options, including tuning parameters for editor reactivity and color
  1720 schemes.
  1721 
  1722 * Dockable window "Symbols" provides some editing support for Isabelle
  1723 symbols.
  1724 
  1725 * Dockable window "Monitor" shows ML runtime statistics.  Note that
  1726 continuous display of the chart slows down the system.
  1727 
  1728 * Improved editing support for control styles: subscript, superscript,
  1729 bold, reset of style -- operating on single symbols or text
  1730 selections.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C+e DOWN/UP/RIGHT/LEFT.
  1731 
  1732 * Actions isabelle.increase-font-size and isabelle.decrease-font-size
  1733 adjust the main text area font size, and its derivatives for output,
  1734 tooltips etc.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C-PLUS and C-MINUS, which often
  1735 need to be adapted to local keyboard layouts.
  1736 
  1737 * More reactive completion popup by default: use \t (TAB) instead of
  1738 \n (NEWLINE) to minimize intrusion into regular flow of editing.  See
  1739 also "Plugin Options / SideKick / General / Code Completion Options".
  1740 
  1741 * Implicit check and build dialog of the specified logic session
  1742 image.  For example, HOL, HOLCF, HOL-Nominal can be produced on
  1743 demand, without bundling big platform-dependent heap images in the
  1744 Isabelle distribution.
  1745 
  1746 * Uniform Java 7 platform on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows: recent updates
  1747 from Oracle provide better multi-platform experience.  This version is
  1748 now bundled exclusively with Isabelle.
  1749 
  1750 
  1751 *** Pure ***
  1752 
  1753 * Code generation for Haskell: restrict unqualified imports from
  1754 Haskell Prelude to a small set of fundamental operations.
  1755 
  1756 * Command 'export_code': relative file names are interpreted
  1757 relatively to master directory of current theory rather than the
  1758 rather arbitrary current working directory.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1759 
  1760 * Discontinued obsolete attribute "COMP".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
  1761 use regular rule composition via "OF" / "THEN", or explicit proof
  1762 structure instead.  Note that Isabelle/ML provides a variety of
  1763 operators like COMP, INCR_COMP, COMP_INCR, which need to be applied
  1764 with some care where this is really required.
  1765 
  1766 * Command 'typ' supports an additional variant with explicit sort
  1767 constraint, to infer and check the most general type conforming to a
  1768 given sort.  Example (in HOL):
  1769 
  1770   typ "_ * _ * bool * unit" :: finite
  1771 
  1772 * Command 'locale_deps' visualizes all locales and their relations as
  1773 a Hasse diagram.
  1774 
  1775 
  1776 *** HOL ***
  1777 
  1778 * Sledgehammer:
  1779 
  1780   - Added MaSh relevance filter based on machine-learning; see the
  1781     Sledgehammer manual for details.
  1782   - Polished Isar proofs generated with "isar_proofs" option.
  1783   - Rationalized type encodings ("type_enc" option).
  1784   - Renamed "kill_provers" subcommand to "kill_all".
  1785   - Renamed options:
  1786       isar_proof ~> isar_proofs
  1787       isar_shrink_factor ~> isar_shrink
  1788       max_relevant ~> max_facts
  1789       relevance_thresholds ~> fact_thresholds
  1790 
  1791 * Quickcheck: added an optimisation for equality premises.  It is
  1792 switched on by default, and can be switched off by setting the
  1793 configuration quickcheck_optimise_equality to false.
  1794 
  1795 * Quotient: only one quotient can be defined by quotient_type
  1796 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1797 
  1798 * Lifting:
  1799   - generation of an abstraction function equation in lift_definition
  1800   - quot_del attribute
  1801   - renamed no_abs_code -> no_code (INCOMPATIBILITY.)
  1802 
  1803 * Simproc "finite_Collect" rewrites set comprehensions into pointfree
  1804 expressions.
  1805 
  1806 * Preprocessing of the code generator rewrites set comprehensions into
  1807 pointfree expressions.
  1808 
  1809 * The SMT solver Z3 has now by default a restricted set of directly
  1810 supported features. For the full set of features (div/mod, nonlinear
  1811 arithmetic, datatypes/records) with potential proof reconstruction
  1812 failures, enable the configuration option "z3_with_extensions".  Minor
  1813 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1814 
  1815 * Simplified 'typedef' specifications: historical options for implicit
  1816 set definition and alternative name have been discontinued.  The
  1817 former behavior of "typedef (open) t = A" is now the default, but
  1818 written just "typedef t = A".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt theories
  1819 accordingly.
  1820 
  1821 * Removed constant "chars"; prefer "Enum.enum" on type "char"
  1822 directly.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1823 
  1824 * Moved operation product, sublists and n_lists from theory Enum to
  1825 List.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1826 
  1827 * Theorem UN_o generalized to SUP_comp.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1828 
  1829 * Class "comm_monoid_diff" formalises properties of bounded
  1830 subtraction, with natural numbers and multisets as typical instances.
  1831 
  1832 * Added combinator "Option.these" with type "'a option set => 'a set".
  1833 
  1834 * Theory "Transitive_Closure": renamed lemmas
  1835 
  1836   reflcl_tranclp -> reflclp_tranclp
  1837   rtranclp_reflcl -> rtranclp_reflclp
  1838 
  1839 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1840 
  1841 * Theory "Rings": renamed lemmas (in class semiring)
  1842 
  1843   left_distrib ~> distrib_right
  1844   right_distrib ~> distrib_left
  1845 
  1846 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1847 
  1848 * Generalized the definition of limits:
  1849 
  1850   - Introduced the predicate filterlim (LIM x F. f x :> G) which
  1851     expresses that when the input values x converge to F then the
  1852     output f x converges to G.
  1853 
  1854   - Added filters for convergence to positive (at_top) and negative
  1855     infinity (at_bot).
  1856 
  1857   - Moved infinity in the norm (at_infinity) from
  1858     Multivariate_Analysis to Complex_Main.
  1859 
  1860   - Removed real_tendsto_inf, it is superseded by "LIM x F. f x :>
  1861     at_top".
  1862 
  1863 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1864 
  1865 * Theory "Library/Option_ord" provides instantiation of option type to
  1866 lattice type classes.
  1867 
  1868 * Theory "Library/Multiset": renamed
  1869 
  1870     constant fold_mset ~> Multiset.fold
  1871     fact fold_mset_commute ~> fold_mset_comm
  1872 
  1873 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1874 
  1875 * Renamed theory Library/List_Prefix to Library/Sublist, with related
  1876 changes as follows.
  1877 
  1878   - Renamed constants (and related lemmas)
  1879 
  1880       prefix ~> prefixeq
  1881       strict_prefix ~> prefix
  1882 
  1883   - Replaced constant "postfix" by "suffixeq" with swapped argument
  1884     order (i.e., "postfix xs ys" is now "suffixeq ys xs") and dropped
  1885     old infix syntax "xs >>= ys"; use "suffixeq ys xs" instead.
  1886     Renamed lemmas accordingly.
  1887 
  1888   - Added constant "list_hembeq" for homeomorphic embedding on
  1889     lists. Added abbreviation "sublisteq" for special case
  1890     "list_hembeq (op =)".
  1891 
  1892   - Theory Library/Sublist no longer provides "order" and "bot" type
  1893     class instances for the prefix order (merely corresponding locale
  1894     interpretations). The type class instances are now in theory
  1895     Library/Prefix_Order.
  1896 
  1897   - The sublist relation of theory Library/Sublist_Order is now based
  1898     on "Sublist.sublisteq".  Renamed lemmas accordingly:
  1899 
  1900       le_list_append_le_same_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append_le_same_iff
  1901       le_list_append_mono ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_append_mono
  1902       le_list_below_empty ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil, Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil2
  1903       le_list_Cons_EX ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_ConsD
  1904       le_list_drop_Cons2 ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2'
  1905       le_list_drop_Cons_neq ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2_neq
  1906       le_list_drop_Cons ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons'
  1907       le_list_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_drop_many
  1908       le_list_filter_left ~> Sublist.sublisteq_filter_left
  1909       le_list_rev_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_rev_drop_many
  1910       le_list_rev_take_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append
  1911       le_list_same_length ~> Sublist.sublisteq_same_length
  1912       le_list_take_many_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append'
  1913       less_eq_list.drop ~> less_eq_list_drop
  1914       less_eq_list.induct ~> less_eq_list_induct
  1915       not_le_list_length ~> Sublist.not_sublisteq_length
  1916 
  1917 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1918 
  1919 * New theory Library/Countable_Set.
  1920 
  1921 * Theory Library/Debug and Library/Parallel provide debugging and
  1922 parallel execution for code generated towards Isabelle/ML.
  1923 
  1924 * Theory Library/FuncSet: Extended support for Pi and extensional and
  1925 introduce the extensional dependent function space "PiE". Replaced
  1926 extensional_funcset by an abbreviation, and renamed lemmas from
  1927 extensional_funcset to PiE as follows:
  1928 
  1929   extensional_empty  ~>  PiE_empty
  1930   extensional_funcset_empty_domain  ~>  PiE_empty_domain
  1931   extensional_funcset_empty_range  ~>  PiE_empty_range
  1932   extensional_funcset_arb  ~>  PiE_arb
  1933   extensional_funcset_mem  ~>  PiE_mem
  1934   extensional_funcset_extend_domainI  ~>  PiE_fun_upd
  1935   extensional_funcset_restrict_domain  ~>  fun_upd_in_PiE
  1936   extensional_funcset_extend_domain_eq  ~>  PiE_insert_eq
  1937   card_extensional_funcset  ~>  card_PiE
  1938   finite_extensional_funcset  ~>  finite_PiE
  1939 
  1940 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1941 
  1942 * Theory Library/FinFun: theory of almost everywhere constant
  1943 functions (supersedes the AFP entry "Code Generation for Functions as
  1944 Data").
  1945 
  1946 * Theory Library/Phantom: generic phantom type to make a type
  1947 parameter appear in a constant's type.  This alternative to adding
  1948 TYPE('a) as another parameter avoids unnecessary closures in generated
  1949 code.
  1950 
  1951 * Theory Library/RBT_Impl: efficient construction of red-black trees
  1952 from sorted associative lists. Merging two trees with rbt_union may
  1953 return a structurally different tree than before.  Potential
  1954 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1955 
  1956 * Theory Library/IArray: immutable arrays with code generation.
  1957 
  1958 * Theory Library/Finite_Lattice: theory of finite lattices.
  1959 
  1960 * HOL/Multivariate_Analysis: replaced
  1961 
  1962   "basis :: 'a::euclidean_space => nat => real"
  1963   "\<Chi>\<Chi> :: (nat => real) => 'a::euclidean_space"
  1964 
  1965 on euclidean spaces by using the inner product "_ \<bullet> _" with
  1966 vectors from the Basis set: "\<Chi>\<Chi> i. f i" is superseded by
  1967 "SUM i : Basis. f i * r i".
  1968 
  1969   With this change the following constants are also changed or removed:
  1970 
  1971     DIM('a) :: nat  ~>  card (Basis :: 'a set)   (is an abbreviation)
  1972     a $$ i  ~>  inner a i  (where i : Basis)
  1973     cart_base i  removed
  1974     \<pi>, \<pi>'  removed
  1975 
  1976   Theorems about these constants where removed.
  1977 
  1978   Renamed lemmas:
  1979 
  1980     component_le_norm  ~>  Basis_le_norm
  1981     euclidean_eq  ~>  euclidean_eq_iff
  1982     differential_zero_maxmin_component  ~>  differential_zero_maxmin_cart
  1983     euclidean_simps  ~>  inner_simps
  1984     independent_basis  ~>  independent_Basis
  1985     span_basis  ~>  span_Basis
  1986     in_span_basis  ~>  in_span_Basis
  1987     norm_bound_component_le  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_le
  1988     norm_bound_component_lt  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_lt
  1989     component_le_infnorm  ~>  Basis_le_infnorm
  1990 
  1991 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1992 
  1993 * HOL/Probability:
  1994 
  1995   - Added simproc "measurable" to automatically prove measurability.
  1996 
  1997   - Added induction rules for sigma sets with disjoint union
  1998     (sigma_sets_induct_disjoint) and for Borel-measurable functions
  1999     (borel_measurable_induct).
  2000 
  2001   - Added the Daniell-Kolmogorov theorem (the existence the limit of a
  2002     projective family).
  2003 
  2004 * HOL/Cardinals: Theories of ordinals and cardinals (supersedes the
  2005 AFP entry "Ordinals_and_Cardinals").
  2006 
  2007 * HOL/BNF: New (co)datatype package based on bounded natural functors
  2008 with support for mixed, nested recursion and interesting non-free
  2009 datatypes.
  2010 
  2011 * HOL/Finite_Set and Relation: added new set and relation operations
  2012 expressed by Finite_Set.fold.
  2013 
  2014 * New theory HOL/Library/RBT_Set: implementation of sets by red-black
  2015 trees for the code generator.
  2016 
  2017 * HOL/Library/RBT and HOL/Library/Mapping have been converted to
  2018 Lifting/Transfer.
  2019 possible INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2020 
  2021 * HOL/Set: renamed Set.project -> Set.filter
  2022 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2023 
  2024 
  2025 *** Document preparation ***
  2026 
  2027 * Dropped legacy antiquotations "term_style" and "thm_style", since
  2028 styles may be given as arguments to "term" and "thm" already.
  2029 Discontinued legacy styles "prem1" .. "prem19".
  2030 
  2031 * Default LaTeX rendering for \<euro> is now based on eurosym package,
  2032 instead of slightly exotic babel/greek.
  2033 
  2034 * Document variant NAME may use different LaTeX entry point
  2035 document/root_NAME.tex if that file exists, instead of the common
  2036 document/root.tex.
  2037 
  2038 * Simplified custom document/build script, instead of old-style
  2039 document/IsaMakefile.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2040 
  2041 
  2042 *** ML ***
  2043 
  2044 * The default limit for maximum number of worker threads is now 8,
  2045 instead of 4, in correspondence to capabilities of contemporary
  2046 hardware and Poly/ML runtime system.
  2047 
  2048 * Type Seq.results and related operations support embedded error
  2049 messages within lazy enumerations, and thus allow to provide
  2050 informative errors in the absence of any usable results.
  2051 
  2052 * Renamed Position.str_of to Position.here to emphasize that this is a
  2053 formal device to inline positions into message text, but not
  2054 necessarily printing visible text.
  2055 
  2056 
  2057 *** System ***
  2058 
  2059 * Advanced support for Isabelle sessions and build management, see
  2060 "system" manual for the chapter of that name, especially the "isabelle
  2061 build" tool and its examples.  The "isabelle mkroot" tool prepares
  2062 session root directories for use with "isabelle build", similar to
  2063 former "isabelle mkdir" for "isabelle usedir".  Note that this affects
  2064 document preparation as well.  INCOMPATIBILITY, isabelle usedir /
  2065 mkdir / make are rendered obsolete.
  2066 
  2067 * Discontinued obsolete Isabelle/build script, it is superseded by the
  2068 regular isabelle build tool.  For example:
  2069 
  2070   isabelle build -s -b HOL
  2071 
  2072 * Discontinued obsolete "isabelle makeall".
  2073 
  2074 * Discontinued obsolete IsaMakefile and ROOT.ML files from the
  2075 Isabelle distribution, except for rudimentary src/HOL/IsaMakefile that
  2076 provides some traditional targets that invoke "isabelle build".  Note
  2077 that this is inefficient!  Applications of Isabelle/HOL involving
  2078 "isabelle make" should be upgraded to use "isabelle build" directly.
  2079 
  2080 * The "isabelle options" tool prints Isabelle system options, as
  2081 required for "isabelle build", for example.
  2082 
  2083 * The "isabelle logo" tool produces EPS and PDF format simultaneously.
  2084 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY in command-line options.
  2085 
  2086 * The "isabelle install" tool has now a simpler command-line.  Minor
  2087 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2088 
  2089 * The "isabelle components" tool helps to resolve add-on components
  2090 that are not bundled, or referenced from a bare-bones repository
  2091 version of Isabelle.
  2092 
  2093 * Settings variable ISABELLE_PLATFORM_FAMILY refers to the general
  2094 platform family: "linux", "macos", "windows".
  2095 
  2096 * The ML system is configured as regular component, and no longer
  2097 picked up from some surrounding directory.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  2098 for home-made settings.
  2099 
  2100 * Improved ML runtime statistics (heap, threads, future tasks etc.).
  2101 
  2102 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2.1, which was the last version
  2103 without exception positions and advanced ML compiler/toplevel
  2104 configuration.
  2105 
  2106 * Discontinued special treatment of Proof General -- no longer guess
  2107 PROOFGENERAL_HOME based on accidental file-system layout.  Minor
  2108 INCOMPATIBILITY: provide PROOFGENERAL_HOME and PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS
  2109 settings manually, or use a Proof General version that has been
  2110 bundled as Isabelle component.
  2111 
  2112 
  2113 
  2114 New in Isabelle2012 (May 2012)
  2115 ------------------------------
  2116 
  2117 *** General ***
  2118 
  2119 * Prover IDE (PIDE) improvements:
  2120 
  2121   - more robust Sledgehammer integration (as before the sledgehammer
  2122     command-line needs to be typed into the source buffer)
  2123   - markup for bound variables
  2124   - markup for types of term variables (displayed as tooltips)
  2125   - support for user-defined Isar commands within the running session
  2126   - improved support for Unicode outside original 16bit range
  2127     e.g. glyph for \<A> (thanks to jEdit 4.5.1)
  2128 
  2129 * Forward declaration of outer syntax keywords within the theory
  2130 header -- minor INCOMPATIBILITY for user-defined commands.  Allow new
  2131 commands to be used in the same theory where defined.
  2132 
  2133 * Auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for specifications with
  2134 additional parameters and assumptions.  Such unnamed contexts may be
  2135 nested within other targets, like 'theory', 'locale', 'class',
  2136 'instantiation' etc.  Results from the local context are generalized
  2137 accordingly and applied to the enclosing target context.  Example:
  2138 
  2139   context
  2140     fixes x y z :: 'a
  2141     assumes xy: "x = y" and yz: "y = z"
  2142   begin
  2143 
  2144   lemma my_trans: "x = z" using xy yz by simp
  2145 
  2146   end
  2147 
  2148   thm my_trans
  2149 
  2150 The most basic application is to factor-out context elements of
  2151 several fixes/assumes/shows theorem statements, e.g. see
  2152 ~~/src/HOL/Isar_Examples/Group_Context.thy
  2153 
  2154 Any other local theory specification element works within the "context
  2155 ... begin ... end" block as well.
  2156 
  2157 * Bundled declarations associate attributed fact expressions with a
  2158 given name in the context.  These may be later included in other
  2159 contexts.  This allows to manage context extensions casually, without
  2160 the logical dependencies of locales and locale interpretation.  See
  2161 commands 'bundle', 'include', 'including' etc. in the isar-ref manual.
  2162 
  2163 * Commands 'lemmas' and 'theorems' allow local variables using 'for'
  2164 declaration, and results are standardized before being stored.  Thus
  2165 old-style "standard" after instantiation or composition of facts
  2166 becomes obsolete.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, due to potential change of
  2167 indices of schematic variables.
  2168 
  2169 * Rule attributes in local theory declarations (e.g. locale or class)
  2170 are now statically evaluated: the resulting theorem is stored instead
  2171 of the original expression.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  2172 the historic accident of dynamic re-evaluation in interpretations
  2173 etc. was exploited.
  2174 
  2175 * New tutorial "Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL"
  2176 ("prog-prove").  It completely supersedes "A Tutorial Introduction to
  2177 Structured Isar Proofs" ("isar-overview"), which has been removed.  It
  2178 also supersedes "Isabelle/HOL, A Proof Assistant for Higher-Order
  2179 Logic" as the recommended beginners tutorial, but does not cover all
  2180 of the material of that old tutorial.
  2181 
  2182 * Updated and extended reference manuals: "isar-ref",
  2183 "implementation", "system"; reduced remaining material in old "ref"
  2184 manual.
  2185 
  2186 
  2187 *** Pure ***
  2188 
  2189 * Command 'definition' no longer exports the foundational "raw_def"
  2190 into the user context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, may use the regular
  2191 "def" result with attribute "abs_def" to imitate the old version.
  2192 
  2193 * Attribute "abs_def" turns an equation of the form "f x y == t" into
  2194 "f == %x y. t", which ensures that "simp" or "unfold" steps always
  2195 expand it.  This also works for object-logic equality.  (Formerly
  2196 undocumented feature.)
  2197 
  2198 * Sort constraints are now propagated in simultaneous statements, just
  2199 like type constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  2200 distinct sorts used to be assigned accidentally.  For example:
  2201 
  2202   lemma "P (x::'a::foo)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"  -- "now illegal"
  2203 
  2204   lemma "P (x::'a)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"
  2205     -- "now uniform 'a::bar instead of default sort for first occurrence (!)"
  2206 
  2207 * Rule composition via attribute "OF" (or ML functions OF/MRS) is more
  2208 tolerant against multiple unifiers, as long as the final result is
  2209 unique.  (As before, rules are composed in canonical right-to-left
  2210 order to accommodate newly introduced premises.)
  2211 
  2212 * Renamed some inner syntax categories:
  2213 
  2214     num ~> num_token
  2215     xnum ~> xnum_token
  2216     xstr ~> str_token
  2217 
  2218 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that in practice "num_const" or
  2219 "num_position" etc. are mainly used instead (which also include
  2220 position information via constraints).
  2221 
  2222 * Simplified configuration options for syntax ambiguity: see
  2223 "syntax_ambiguity_warning" and "syntax_ambiguity_limit" in isar-ref
  2224 manual.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2225 
  2226 * Discontinued configuration option "syntax_positions": atomic terms
  2227 in parse trees are always annotated by position constraints.
  2228 
  2229 * Old code generator for SML and its commands 'code_module',
  2230 'code_library', 'consts_code', 'types_code' have been discontinued.
  2231 Use commands of the generic code generator instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2232 
  2233 * Redundant attribute "code_inline" has been discontinued. Use
  2234 "code_unfold" instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2235 
  2236 * Dropped attribute "code_unfold_post" in favor of the its dual
  2237 "code_abbrev", which yields a common pattern in definitions like
  2238 
  2239   definition [code_abbrev]: "f = t"
  2240 
  2241 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2242 
  2243 * Obsolete 'types' command has been discontinued.  Use 'type_synonym'
  2244 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2245 
  2246 * Discontinued old "prems" fact, which used to refer to the accidental
  2247 collection of foundational premises in the context (already marked as
  2248 legacy since Isabelle2011).
  2249 
  2250 
  2251 *** HOL ***
  2252 
  2253 * Type 'a set is now a proper type constructor (just as before
  2254 Isabelle2008).  Definitions mem_def and Collect_def have disappeared.
  2255 Non-trivial INCOMPATIBILITY.  For developments keeping predicates and
  2256 sets separate, it is often sufficient to rephrase some set S that has
  2257 been accidentally used as predicates by "%x. x : S", and some
  2258 predicate P that has been accidentally used as set by "{x. P x}".
  2259 Corresponding proofs in a first step should be pruned from any
  2260 tinkering with former theorems mem_def and Collect_def as far as
  2261 possible.
  2262 
  2263 For developments which deliberately mix predicates and sets, a
  2264 planning step is necessary to determine what should become a predicate
  2265 and what a set.  It can be helpful to carry out that step in
  2266 Isabelle2011-1 before jumping right into the current release.
  2267 
  2268 * Code generation by default implements sets as container type rather
  2269 than predicates.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2270 
  2271 * New type synonym 'a rel = ('a * 'a) set
  2272 
  2273 * The representation of numerals has changed.  Datatype "num"
  2274 represents strictly positive binary numerals, along with functions
  2275 "numeral :: num => 'a" and "neg_numeral :: num => 'a" to represent
  2276 positive and negated numeric literals, respectively.  See also
  2277 definitions in ~~/src/HOL/Num.thy.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, some
  2278 user theories may require adaptations as follows:
  2279 
  2280   - Theorems with number_ring or number_semiring constraints: These
  2281     classes are gone; use comm_ring_1 or comm_semiring_1 instead.
  2282 
  2283   - Theories defining numeric types: Remove number, number_semiring,
  2284     and number_ring instances. Defer all theorems about numerals until
  2285     after classes one and semigroup_add have been instantiated.
  2286 
  2287   - Numeral-only simp rules: Replace each rule having a "number_of v"
  2288     pattern with two copies, one for numeral and one for neg_numeral.
  2289 
  2290   - Theorems about subclasses of semiring_1 or ring_1: These classes
  2291     automatically support numerals now, so more simp rules and
  2292     simprocs may now apply within the proof.
  2293 
  2294   - Definitions and theorems using old constructors Pls/Min/Bit0/Bit1:
  2295     Redefine using other integer operations.
  2296 
  2297 * Transfer: New package intended to generalize the existing
  2298 "descending" method and related theorem attributes from the Quotient
  2299 package.  (Not all functionality is implemented yet, but future
  2300 development will focus on Transfer as an eventual replacement for the
  2301 corresponding parts of the Quotient package.)
  2302 
  2303   - transfer_rule attribute: Maintains a collection of transfer rules,
  2304     which relate constants at two different types. Transfer rules may
  2305     relate different type instances of the same polymorphic constant,
  2306     or they may relate an operation on a raw type to a corresponding
  2307     operation on an abstract type (quotient or subtype). For example:
  2308 
  2309     ((A ===> B) ===> list_all2 A ===> list_all2 B) map map
  2310     (cr_int ===> cr_int ===> cr_int) (%(x,y) (u,v). (x+u, y+v)) plus_int
  2311 
  2312   - transfer method: Replaces a subgoal on abstract types with an
  2313     equivalent subgoal on the corresponding raw types. Constants are
  2314     replaced with corresponding ones according to the transfer rules.
  2315     Goals are generalized over all free variables by default; this is
  2316     necessary for variables whose types change, but can be overridden
  2317     for specific variables with e.g. "transfer fixing: x y z".  The
  2318     variant transfer' method allows replacing a subgoal with one that
  2319     is logically stronger (rather than equivalent).
  2320 
  2321   - relator_eq attribute: Collects identity laws for relators of
  2322     various type constructors, e.g. "list_all2 (op =) = (op =)".  The
  2323     transfer method uses these lemmas to infer transfer rules for
  2324     non-polymorphic constants on the fly.
  2325 
  2326   - transfer_prover method: Assists with proving a transfer rule for a
  2327     new constant, provided the constant is defined in terms of other
  2328     constants that already have transfer rules. It should be applied
  2329     after unfolding the constant definitions.
  2330 
  2331   - HOL/ex/Transfer_Int_Nat.thy: Example theory demonstrating transfer
  2332     from type nat to type int.
  2333 
  2334 * Lifting: New package intended to generalize the quotient_definition
  2335 facility of the Quotient package; designed to work with Transfer.
  2336 
  2337   - lift_definition command: Defines operations on an abstract type in
  2338     terms of a corresponding operation on a representation
  2339     type.  Example syntax:
  2340 
  2341     lift_definition dlist_insert :: "'a => 'a dlist => 'a dlist"
  2342       is List.insert
  2343 
  2344     Users must discharge a respectfulness proof obligation when each
  2345     constant is defined. (For a type copy, i.e. a typedef with UNIV,
  2346     the proof is discharged automatically.) The obligation is
  2347     presented in a user-friendly, readable form; a respectfulness
  2348     theorem in the standard format and a transfer rule are generated
  2349     by the package.
  2350 
  2351   - Integration with code_abstype: For typedefs (e.g. subtypes
  2352     corresponding to a datatype invariant, such as dlist),
  2353     lift_definition generates a code certificate theorem and sets up
  2354     code generation for each constant.
  2355 
  2356   - setup_lifting command: Sets up the Lifting package to work with a
  2357     user-defined type. The user must provide either a quotient theorem
  2358     or a type_definition theorem.  The package configures transfer
  2359     rules for equality and quantifiers on the type, and sets up the
  2360     lift_definition command to work with the type.
  2361 
  2362   - Usage examples: See Quotient_Examples/Lift_DList.thy,
  2363     Quotient_Examples/Lift_RBT.thy, Quotient_Examples/Lift_FSet.thy,
  2364     Word/Word.thy and Library/Float.thy.
  2365 
  2366 * Quotient package:
  2367 
  2368   - The 'quotient_type' command now supports a 'morphisms' option with
  2369     rep and abs functions, similar to typedef.
  2370 
  2371   - 'quotient_type' sets up new types to work with the Lifting and
  2372     Transfer packages, as with 'setup_lifting'.
  2373 
  2374   - The 'quotient_definition' command now requires the user to prove a
  2375     respectfulness property at the point where the constant is
  2376     defined, similar to lift_definition; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2377 
  2378   - Renamed predicate 'Quotient' to 'Quotient3', and renamed theorems
  2379     accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2380 
  2381 * New diagnostic command 'find_unused_assms' to find potentially
  2382 superfluous assumptions in theorems using Quickcheck.
  2383 
  2384 * Quickcheck:
  2385 
  2386   - Quickcheck returns variable assignments as counterexamples, which
  2387     allows to reveal the underspecification of functions under test.
  2388     For example, refuting "hd xs = x", it presents the variable
  2389     assignment xs = [] and x = a1 as a counterexample, assuming that
  2390     any property is false whenever "hd []" occurs in it.
  2391 
  2392     These counterexample are marked as potentially spurious, as
  2393     Quickcheck also returns "xs = []" as a counterexample to the
  2394     obvious theorem "hd xs = hd xs".
  2395 
  2396     After finding a potentially spurious counterexample, Quickcheck
  2397     continues searching for genuine ones.
  2398 
  2399     By default, Quickcheck shows potentially spurious and genuine
  2400     counterexamples. The option "genuine_only" sets quickcheck to only
  2401     show genuine counterexamples.
  2402 
  2403   - The command 'quickcheck_generator' creates random and exhaustive
  2404     value generators for a given type and operations.
  2405 
  2406     It generates values by using the operations as if they were
  2407     constructors of that type.
  2408 
  2409   - Support for multisets.
  2410 
  2411   - Added "use_subtype" options.
  2412 
  2413   - Added "quickcheck_locale" configuration to specify how to process
  2414     conjectures in a locale context.
  2415 
  2416 * Nitpick: Fixed infinite loop caused by the 'peephole_optim' option
  2417 and affecting 'rat' and 'real'.
  2418 
  2419 * Sledgehammer:
  2420   - Integrated more tightly with SPASS, as described in the ITP 2012
  2421     paper "More SPASS with Isabelle".
  2422   - Made it try "smt" as a fallback if "metis" fails or times out.
  2423   - Added support for the following provers: Alt-Ergo (via Why3 and
  2424     TFF1), iProver, iProver-Eq.
  2425   - Sped up the minimizer.
  2426   - Added "lam_trans", "uncurry_aliases", and "minimize" options.
  2427   - Renamed "slicing" ("no_slicing") option to "slice" ("dont_slice").
  2428   - Renamed "sound" option to "strict".
  2429 
  2430 * Metis: Added possibility to specify lambda translations scheme as a
  2431 parenthesized argument (e.g., "by (metis (lifting) ...)").
  2432 
  2433 * SMT: Renamed "smt_fixed" option to "smt_read_only_certificates".
  2434 
  2435 * Command 'try0': Renamed from 'try_methods'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2436 
  2437 * New "case_product" attribute to generate a case rule doing multiple
  2438 case distinctions at the same time.  E.g.
  2439 
  2440   list.exhaust [case_product nat.exhaust]
  2441 
  2442 produces a rule which can be used to perform case distinction on both
  2443 a list and a nat.
  2444 
  2445 * New "eventually_elim" method as a generalized variant of the
  2446 eventually_elim* rules.  Supports structured proofs.
  2447 
  2448 * Typedef with implicit set definition is considered legacy.  Use
  2449 "typedef (open)" form instead, which will eventually become the
  2450 default.
  2451 
  2452 * Record: code generation can be switched off manually with
  2453 
  2454   declare [[record_coden = false]]  -- "default true"
  2455 
  2456 * Datatype: type parameters allow explicit sort constraints.
  2457 
  2458 * Concrete syntax for case expressions includes constraints for source
  2459 positions, and thus produces Prover IDE markup for its bindings.
  2460 INCOMPATIBILITY for old-style syntax translations that augment the
  2461 pattern notation; e.g. see src/HOL/HOLCF/One.thy for translations of
  2462 one_case.
  2463 
  2464 * Clarified attribute "mono_set": pure declaration without modifying
  2465 the result of the fact expression.
  2466 
  2467 * More default pred/set conversions on a couple of relation operations
  2468 and predicates.  Added powers of predicate relations.  Consolidation
  2469 of some relation theorems:
  2470 
  2471   converse_def ~> converse_unfold
  2472   rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
  2473   symp_def ~> (modified, use symp_def and sym_def instead)
  2474   transp_def ~> transp_trans
  2475   Domain_def ~> Domain_unfold
  2476   Range_def ~> Domain_converse [symmetric]
  2477 
  2478 Generalized theorems INF_INT_eq, INF_INT_eq2, SUP_UN_eq, SUP_UN_eq2.
  2479 
  2480 See theory "Relation" for examples for making use of pred/set
  2481 conversions by means of attributes "to_set" and "to_pred".
  2482 
  2483 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2484 
  2485 * Renamed facts about the power operation on relations, i.e., relpow
  2486 to match the constant's name:
  2487 
  2488   rel_pow_1 ~> relpow_1
  2489   rel_pow_0_I ~> relpow_0_I
  2490   rel_pow_Suc_I ~> relpow_Suc_I
  2491   rel_pow_Suc_I2 ~> relpow_Suc_I2
  2492   rel_pow_0_E ~> relpow_0_E
  2493   rel_pow_Suc_E ~> relpow_Suc_E
  2494   rel_pow_E ~> relpow_E
  2495   rel_pow_Suc_D2 ~> relpow_Suc_D2
  2496   rel_pow_Suc_E2 ~> relpow_Suc_E2
  2497   rel_pow_Suc_D2' ~> relpow_Suc_D2'
  2498   rel_pow_E2 ~> relpow_E2
  2499   rel_pow_add ~> relpow_add
  2500   rel_pow_commute ~> relpow
  2501   rel_pow_empty ~> relpow_empty:
  2502   rtrancl_imp_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_imp_UN_relpow
  2503   rel_pow_imp_rtrancl ~> relpow_imp_rtrancl
  2504   rtrancl_is_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_is_UN_relpow
  2505   rtrancl_imp_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_imp_relpow
  2506   rel_pow_fun_conv ~> relpow_fun_conv
  2507   rel_pow_finite_bounded1 ~> relpow_finite_bounded1
  2508   rel_pow_finite_bounded ~> relpow_finite_bounded
  2509   rtrancl_finite_eq_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_finite_eq_relpow
  2510   trancl_finite_eq_rel_pow ~> trancl_finite_eq_relpow
  2511   single_valued_rel_pow ~> single_valued_relpow
  2512 
  2513 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2514 
  2515 * Theory Relation: Consolidated constant name for relation composition
  2516 and corresponding theorem names:
  2517 
  2518   - Renamed constant rel_comp to relcomp.
  2519 
  2520   - Dropped abbreviation pred_comp. Use relcompp instead.
  2521 
  2522   - Renamed theorems:
  2523 
  2524     rel_compI ~> relcompI
  2525     rel_compEpair ~> relcompEpair
  2526     rel_compE ~> relcompE
  2527     pred_comp_rel_comp_eq ~> relcompp_relcomp_eq
  2528     rel_comp_empty1 ~> relcomp_empty1
  2529     rel_comp_mono ~> relcomp_mono
  2530     rel_comp_subset_Sigma ~> relcomp_subset_Sigma
  2531     rel_comp_distrib ~> relcomp_distrib
  2532     rel_comp_distrib2 ~> relcomp_distrib2

  2920 * Session HOL-Word: New proof method "word_bitwise" for splitting
  2921 machine word equalities and inequalities into logical circuits,
  2922 defined in HOL/Word/WordBitwise.thy.  Supports addition, subtraction,
  2923 multiplication, shifting by constants, bitwise operators and numeric
  2924 constants.  Requires fixed-length word types, not 'a word.  Solves
  2925 many standard word identities outright and converts more into first
  2926 order problems amenable to blast or similar.  See also examples in
  2927 HOL/Word/Examples/WordExamples.thy.
  2928 
  2929 * Session HOL-Probability: Introduced the type "'a measure" to
  2930 represent measures, this replaces the records 'a algebra and 'a
  2931 measure_space.  The locales based on subset_class now have two
  2932 locale-parameters the space \<Omega> and the set of measurable sets M.
  2933 The product of probability spaces uses now the same constant as the
  2934 finite product of sigma-finite measure spaces "PiM :: ('i => 'a)
  2935 measure".  Most constants are defined now outside of locales and gain
  2936 an additional parameter, like null_sets, almost_eventually or \<mu>'.
  2937 Measure space constructions for distributions and densities now got
  2938 their own constants distr and density.  Instead of using locales to
  2939 describe measure spaces with a finite space, the measure count_space
  2940 and point_measure is introduced.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2941

  2946   product_prob_space.emb -> prod_emb

  2962 
  2963   Removed constants:

  2965   distribution -> use distr measure, or distributed predicate
  2966   image_space
  2967   joint_distribution -> use distr measure, or distributed predicate

  3102 * Session HOL-TPTP: support to parse and import TPTP problems (all
  3103 languages) into Isabelle/HOL.
  3104 
  3105 
  3106 *** FOL ***
  3107 
  3108 * New "case_product" attribute (see HOL).
  3109 
  3110 
  3111 *** ZF ***
  3112 
  3113 * Greater support for structured proofs involving induction or case
  3114 analysis.
  3115 
  3116 * Much greater use of mathematical symbols.
  3117 
  3118 * Removal of many ML theorem bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3119 
  3120 
  3121 *** ML ***
  3122 
  3123 * Antiquotation @{keyword "name"} produces a parser for outer syntax
  3124 from a minor keyword introduced via theory header declaration.
  3125 
  3126 * Antiquotation @{command_spec "name"} produces the
  3127 Outer_Syntax.command_spec from a major keyword introduced via theory
  3128 header declaration; it can be passed to Outer_Syntax.command etc.
  3129 
  3130 * Local_Theory.define no longer hard-wires default theorem name
  3131 "foo_def", but retains the binding as given.  If that is Binding.empty
  3132 / Attrib.empty_binding, the result is not registered as user-level
  3133 fact.  The Local_Theory.define_internal variant allows to specify a
  3134 non-empty name (used for the foundation in the background theory),
  3135 while omitting the fact binding in the user-context.  Potential
  3136 INCOMPATIBILITY for derived definitional packages: need to specify
  3137 naming policy for primitive definitions more explicitly.
  3138 
  3139 * Renamed Thm.capply to Thm.apply, and Thm.cabs to Thm.lambda in
  3140 conformance with similar operations in structure Term and Logic.
  3141 
  3142 * Antiquotation @{attributes [...]} embeds attribute source
  3143 representation into the ML text, which is particularly useful with
  3144 declarations like Local_Theory.note.
  3145 
  3146 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  3147 ProofContext has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3148 
  3149 * Refined Local_Theory.declaration {syntax, pervasive}, with subtle
  3150 change of semantics: update is applied to auxiliary local theory
  3151 context as well.
  3152 
  3153 * Modernized some old-style infix operations:
  3154 
  3155   addeqcongs    ~> Simplifier.add_eqcong
  3156   deleqcongs    ~> Simplifier.del_eqcong
  3157   addcongs      ~> Simplifier.add_cong
  3158   delcongs      ~> Simplifier.del_cong

  3162   setmkeqTrue   ~> Simplifier.set_mkeqTrue
  3163   settermless   ~> Simplifier.set_termless
  3164   setsubgoaler  ~> Simplifier.set_subgoaler
  3165   addsplits     ~> Splitter.add_split
  3166   delsplits     ~> Splitter.del_split
  3167 
  3168 
  3169 *** System ***
  3170 
  3171 * USER_HOME settings variable points to cross-platform user home
  3172 directory, which coincides with HOME on POSIX systems only.  Likewise,
  3173 the Isabelle path specification "~" now expands to $USER_HOME, instead
  3174 of former $HOME.  A different default for USER_HOME may be set
  3175 explicitly in shell environment, before Isabelle settings are
  3176 evaluated.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: need to adapt Isabelle path where
  3177 the generic user home was intended.
  3178 
  3179 * ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS refers to ISABELLE_HOME in windows file name
  3180 notation, which is useful for the jEdit file browser, for example.
  3181 
  3182 * ISABELLE_JDK_HOME settings variable points to JDK with javac and jar
  3183 (not just JRE).
  3184 
  3185 
  3186 
  3187 New in Isabelle2011-1 (October 2011)
  3188 ------------------------------------
  3189 
  3190 *** General ***
  3191 
  3192 * Improved Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE (PIDE), which can be invoked as
  3193 "isabelle jedit" or "ISABELLE_HOME/Isabelle" on the command line.
  3194 
  3195   - Management of multiple theory files directly from the editor
  3196     buffer store -- bypassing the file-system (no requirement to save
  3197     files for checking).
  3198 
  3199   - Markup of formal entities within the text buffer, with semantic
  3200     highlighting, tooltips and hyperlinks to jump to defining source
  3201     positions.
  3202 
  3203   - Improved text rendering, with sub/superscripts in the source
  3204     buffer (including support for copy/paste wrt. output panel, HTML
  3205     theory output and other non-Isabelle text boxes).
  3206 
  3207   - Refined scheduling of proof checking and printing of results,
  3208     based on interactive editor view.  (Note: jEdit folding and
  3209     narrowing allows to restrict buffer perspectives explicitly.)
  3210 
  3211   - Reduced CPU performance requirements, usable on machines with few
  3212     cores.
  3213 
  3214   - Reduced memory requirements due to pruning of unused document
  3215     versions (garbage collection).
  3216 
  3217 See also ~~/src/Tools/jEdit/README.html for further information,
  3218 including some remaining limitations.
  3219 
  3220 * Theory loader: source files are exclusively located via the master
  3221 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  3222 The global load path (such as src/HOL/Library) has been discontinued.
  3223 Note that the path element ~~ may be used to reference theories in the
  3224 Isabelle home folder -- for instance, "~~/src/HOL/Library/FuncSet".
  3225 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3226 
  3227 * Theory loader: source files are identified by content via SHA1
  3228 digests.  Discontinued former path/modtime identification and optional
  3229 ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT plugin scripts.
  3230 
  3231 * Parallelization of nested Isar proofs is subject to
  3232 Goal.parallel_proofs_threshold (default 100).  See also isabelle
  3233 usedir option -Q.
  3234 
  3235 * Name space: former unsynchronized references are now proper
  3236 configuration options, with more conventional names:
  3237 
  3238   long_names   ~> names_long
  3239   short_names  ~> names_short
  3240   unique_names ~> names_unique
  3241 
  3242 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, need to declare options in context like this:
  3243 
  3244   declare [[names_unique = false]]
  3245 
  3246 * Literal facts `prop` may contain dummy patterns, e.g. `_ = _`.  Note
  3247 that the result needs to be unique, which means fact specifications
  3248 may have to be refined after enriching a proof context.
  3249 
  3250 * Attribute "case_names" has been refined: the assumptions in each case
  3251 can be named now by following the case name with [name1 name2 ...].
  3252 
  3253 * Isabelle/Isar reference manual has been updated and extended:
  3254   - "Synopsis" provides a catalog of main Isar language concepts.
  3255   - Formal references in syntax diagrams, via @{rail} antiquotation.
  3256   - Updated material from classic "ref" manual, notably about
  3257     "Classical Reasoner".
  3258 
  3259 
  3260 *** HOL ***
  3261 
  3262 * Class bot and top require underlying partial order rather than
  3263 preorder: uniqueness of bot and top is guaranteed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3264 
  3265 * Class complete_lattice: generalized a couple of lemmas from sets;
  3266 generalized theorems INF_cong and SUP_cong.  New type classes for
  3267 complete boolean algebras and complete linear orders.  Lemmas
  3268 Inf_less_iff, less_Sup_iff, INF_less_iff, less_SUP_iff now reside in
  3269 class complete_linorder.
  3270 
  3271 Changed proposition of lemmas Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, Inf_fun_def,
  3272 Sup_fun_def, Inf_apply, Sup_apply.
  3273 
  3274 Removed redundant lemmas (the right hand side gives hints how to
  3275 replace them for (metis ...), or (simp only: ...) proofs):
  3276 
  3277   Inf_singleton ~> Inf_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Inf_empty inf_top_right]
  3278   Sup_singleton ~> Sup_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Sup_empty sup_bot_right]

  3309 
  3310 * Renamed theory Complete_Lattice to Complete_Lattices.
  3311 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3312 
  3313 * Theory Complete_Lattices: lemmas Inf_eq_top_iff, INF_eq_top_iff,
  3314 INF_image, Inf_insert, INF_top, Inf_top_conv, INF_top_conv, SUP_bot,
  3315 Sup_bot_conv, SUP_bot_conv, Sup_eq_top_iff, SUP_eq_top_iff, SUP_image,
  3316 Sup_insert are now declared as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3317 
  3318 * Theory Lattice: lemmas compl_inf_bot, compl_le_comp_iff,
  3319 compl_sup_top, inf_idem, inf_left_idem, inf_sup_absorb, sup_idem,
  3320 sup_inf_absob, sup_left_idem are now declared as [simp].  Minor
  3321 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3322 
  3323 * Added syntactic classes "inf" and "sup" for the respective
  3324 constants.  INCOMPATIBILITY: Changes in the argument order of the
  3325 (mostly internal) locale predicates for some derived classes.
  3326 
  3327 * Theorem collections ball_simps and bex_simps do not contain theorems
  3328 referring to UNION any longer; these have been moved to collection
  3329 UN_ball_bex_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3330 
  3331 * Theory Archimedean_Field: floor now is defined as parameter of a
  3332 separate type class floor_ceiling.
  3333 
  3334 * Theory Finite_Set: more coherent development of fold_set locales:
  3335 
  3336     locale fun_left_comm ~> locale comp_fun_commute
  3337     locale fun_left_comm_idem ~> locale comp_fun_idem
  3338 
  3339 Both use point-free characterization; interpretation proofs may need
  3340 adjustment.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3341 
  3342 * Theory Limits: Type "'a net" has been renamed to "'a filter", in
  3343 accordance with standard mathematical terminology. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3344 
  3345 * Theory Complex_Main: The locale interpretations for the
  3346 bounded_linear and bounded_bilinear locales have been removed, in
  3347 order to reduce the number of duplicate lemmas. Users must use the
  3348 original names for distributivity theorems, potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3444 * Theory Complex_Main: The definition of infinite series was
  3445 generalized.  Now it is defined on the type class {topological_space,
  3446 comm_monoid_add}.  Hence it is useable also for extended real numbers.
  3447 
  3448 * Theory Complex_Main: The complex exponential function "expi" is now
  3449 a type-constrained abbreviation for "exp :: complex => complex"; thus
  3450 several polymorphic lemmas about "exp" are now applicable to "expi".
  3451 
  3452 * Code generation:
  3453 
  3454   - Theory Library/Code_Char_ord provides native ordering of
  3455     characters in the target language.
  3456 
  3457   - Commands code_module and code_library are legacy, use export_code
  3458     instead.
  3459 
  3460   - Method "evaluation" is legacy, use method "eval" instead.
  3461 
  3462   - Legacy evaluator "SML" is deactivated by default.  May be
  3463     reactivated by the following theory command:
  3464 
  3465       setup {* Value.add_evaluator ("SML", Codegen.eval_term) *}
  3466 
  3467 * Declare ext [intro] by default.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3468 
  3469 * New proof method "induction" that gives induction hypotheses the
  3470 name "IH", thus distinguishing them from further hypotheses that come
  3471 from rule induction.  The latter are still called "hyps".  Method
  3472 "induction" is a thin wrapper around "induct" and follows the same
  3473 syntax.
  3474 
  3475 * Method "fastsimp" has been renamed to "fastforce", but "fastsimp" is
  3476 still available as a legacy feature for some time.
  3477 
  3478 * Nitpick:
  3479   - Added "need" and "total_consts" options.
  3480   - Reintroduced "show_skolems" option by popular demand.
  3481   - Renamed attribute: nitpick_def ~> nitpick_unfold.
  3482     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3483 
  3484 * Sledgehammer:
  3485   - Use quasi-sound (and efficient) translations by default.
  3486   - Added support for the following provers: E-ToFoF, LEO-II,
  3487     Satallax, SNARK, Waldmeister, and Z3 with TPTP syntax.
  3488   - Automatically preplay and minimize proofs before showing them if
  3489     this can be done within reasonable time.
  3490   - sledgehammer available_provers ~> sledgehammer supported_provers.
  3491     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3492   - Added "preplay_timeout", "slicing", "type_enc", "sound",
  3493     "max_mono_iters", and "max_new_mono_instances" options.
  3494   - Removed "explicit_apply" and "full_types" options as well as "Full
  3495     Types" Proof General menu item. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3496 
  3497 * Metis:
  3498   - Removed "metisF" -- use "metis" instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3499   - Obsoleted "metisFT" -- use "metis (full_types)" instead.
  3500     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3501 
  3502 * Command 'try':
  3503   - Renamed 'try_methods' and added "simp:", "intro:", "dest:", and
  3504     "elim:" options. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3505   - Introduced 'try' that not only runs 'try_methods' but also
  3506     'solve_direct', 'sledgehammer', 'quickcheck', and 'nitpick'.
  3507 
  3508 * Quickcheck:
  3509   - Added "eval" option to evaluate terms for the found counterexample
  3510     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  3511   - Added post-processing of terms to obtain readable counterexamples
  3512     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  3513   - New counterexample generator quickcheck[narrowing] enables
  3514     narrowing-based testing.  Requires the Glasgow Haskell compiler
  3515     with its installation location defined in the Isabelle settings
  3516     environment as ISABELLE_GHC.
  3517   - Removed quickcheck tester "SML" based on the SML code generator
  3518     (formly in HOL/Library).
  3519 
  3520 * Function package: discontinued option "tailrec".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  3521 use 'partial_function' instead.
  3522 
  3523 * Theory Library/Extended_Reals replaces now the positive extended
  3524 reals found in probability theory. This file is extended by
  3525 Multivariate_Analysis/Extended_Real_Limits.
  3526 
  3527 * Theory Library/Old_Recdef: old 'recdef' package has been moved here,
  3528 from where it must be imported explicitly if it is really required.
  3529 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3530 
  3531 * Theory Library/Wfrec: well-founded recursion combinator "wfrec" has
  3532 been moved here.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3533 
  3534 * Theory Library/Saturated provides type of numbers with saturated
  3535 arithmetic.
  3536 
  3537 * Theory Library/Product_Lattice defines a pointwise ordering for the
  3538 product type 'a * 'b, and provides instance proofs for various order
  3539 and lattice type classes.
  3540 
  3541 * Theory Library/Countable now provides the "countable_datatype" proof
  3542 method for proving "countable" class instances for datatypes.
  3543 
  3544 * Theory Library/Cset_Monad allows do notation for computable sets
  3545 (cset) via the generic monad ad-hoc overloading facility.
  3546 
  3547 * Library: Theories of common data structures are split into theories
  3548 for implementation, an invariant-ensuring type, and connection to an
  3549 abstract type. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3550 
  3551   - RBT is split into RBT and RBT_Mapping.
  3552   - AssocList is split and renamed into AList and AList_Mapping.
  3553   - DList is split into DList_Impl, DList, and DList_Cset.
  3554   - Cset is split into Cset and List_Cset.
  3555 
  3556 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity has been renamed to
  3557 Library/Extended_Nat, with name changes of the following types and
  3558 constants:
  3559 
  3560   type inat   ~> type enat
  3561   Fin         ~> enat
  3562   Infty       ~> infinity (overloaded)
  3563   iSuc        ~> eSuc
  3564   the_Fin     ~> the_enat
  3565 
  3566 Every theorem name containing "inat", "Fin", "Infty", or "iSuc" has
  3567 been renamed accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3568 
  3569 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: The euclidean_space type class now
  3570 fixes a constant "Basis :: 'a set" consisting of the standard
  3571 orthonormal basis for the type. Users now have the option of
  3572 quantifying over this set instead of using the "basis" function, e.g.
  3573 "ALL x:Basis. P x" vs "ALL i<DIM('a). P (basis i)".
  3574 
  3575 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Type "('a, 'b) cart" has been renamed
  3576 to "('a, 'b) vec" (the syntax "'a ^ 'b" remains unaffected). Constants
  3577 "Cart_nth" and "Cart_lambda" have been respectively renamed to
  3578 "vec_nth" and "vec_lambda"; theorems mentioning those names have
  3579 changed to match. Definition theorems for overloaded constants now use
  3580 the standard "foo_vec_def" naming scheme. A few other theorems have
  3581 been renamed as follows (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  3582 
  3583   Cart_eq          ~> vec_eq_iff
  3584   dist_nth_le_cart ~> dist_vec_nth_le
  3585   tendsto_vector   ~> vec_tendstoI
  3586   Cauchy_vector    ~> vec_CauchyI
  3587 
  3588 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Several duplicate theorems have been
  3589 removed, and other theorems have been renamed or replaced with more
  3590 general versions. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3645   - Caratheodory's extension lemma is now proved for ring_of_sets.
  3646   - Infinite products of probability measures are now available.
  3647   - Sigma closure is independent, if the generator is independent
  3648   - Use extended reals instead of positive extended
  3649     reals. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3680 *** Document preparation ***
  3681 
  3682 * Antiquotation @{rail} layouts railroad syntax diagrams, see also
  3683 isar-ref manual, both for description and actual application of the
  3684 same.
  3685 
  3686 * Antiquotation @{value} evaluates the given term and presents its
  3687 result.
  3688 
  3689 * Antiquotations: term style "isub" provides ad-hoc conversion of
  3690 variables x1, y23 into subscripted form x\<^isub>1,
  3691 y\<^isub>2\<^isub>3.
  3692 
  3693 * Predefined LaTeX macros for Isabelle symbols \<bind> and \<then>
  3694 (e.g. see ~~/src/HOL/Library/Monad_Syntax.thy).
  3695 
  3696 * Localized \isabellestyle switch can be used within blocks or groups
  3697 like this:
  3698 
  3699   \isabellestyle{it}  %preferred default
  3700   {\isabellestylett @{text "typewriter stuff"}}
  3701 
  3702 * Discontinued special treatment of hard tabulators.  Implicit
  3703 tab-width is now defined as 1.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for visual
  3704 layouts.
  3705 
  3706 
  3707 *** ML ***
  3708 
  3709 * The inner syntax of sort/type/term/prop supports inlined YXML
  3710 representations within quoted string tokens.  By encoding logical
  3711 entities via Term_XML (in ML or Scala) concrete syntax can be
  3712 bypassed, which is particularly useful for producing bits of text
  3713 under external program control.
  3714 
  3715 * Antiquotations for ML and document preparation are managed as theory
  3716 data, which requires explicit setup.
  3717 
  3718 * Isabelle_Process.is_active allows tools to check if the official
  3719 process wrapper is running (Isabelle/Scala/jEdit) or the old TTY loop
  3720 (better known as Proof General).
  3721 
  3722 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  3723 ProofContext is still available for some time as legacy alias.
  3724 
  3725 * Structure Timing provides various operations for timing; supersedes
  3726 former start_timing/end_timing etc.
  3727 
  3728 * Path.print is the official way to show file-system paths to users
  3729 (including quotes etc.).
  3730 
  3731 * Inner syntax: identifiers in parse trees of generic categories
  3732 "logic", "aprop", "idt" etc. carry position information (disguised as
  3733 type constraints).  Occasional INCOMPATIBILITY with non-compliant
  3734 translations that choke on unexpected type constraints.  Positions can
  3735 be stripped in ML translations via Syntax.strip_positions /
  3736 Syntax.strip_positions_ast, or via the syntax constant
  3737 "_strip_positions" within parse trees.  As last resort, positions can
  3738 be disabled via the configuration option Syntax.positions, which is
  3739 called "syntax_positions" in Isar attribute syntax.
  3740 
  3741 * Discontinued special status of various ML structures that contribute
  3742 to structure Syntax (Ast, Lexicon, Mixfix, Parser, Printer etc.): less
  3743 pervasive content, no inclusion in structure Syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  3744 refer directly to Ast.Constant, Lexicon.is_identifier,
  3745 Syntax_Trans.mk_binder_tr etc.
  3746 
  3747 * Typed print translation: discontinued show_sorts argument, which is
  3748 already available via context of "advanced" translation.
  3749 
  3750 * Refined PARALLEL_GOALS tactical: degrades gracefully for schematic
  3751 goal states; body tactic needs to address all subgoals uniformly.
  3752 
  3753 * Slightly more special eq_list/eq_set, with shortcut involving
  3754 pointer equality (assumes that eq relation is reflexive).
  3755 
  3756 * Classical tactics use proper Proof.context instead of historic types
  3757 claset/clasimpset.  Old-style declarations like addIs, addEs, addDs
  3758 operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type claset retains its use as
  3759 snapshot of the classical context, which can be recovered via
  3760 (put_claset HOL_cs) etc.  Type clasimpset has been discontinued.
  3761 INCOMPATIBILITY, classical tactics and derived proof methods require
  3762 proper Proof.context.
  3763 
  3764 
  3765 *** System ***
  3766 
  3767 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2, which was the last version
  3768 without proper multithreading and TimeLimit implementation.
  3769 
  3770 * Discontinued old lib/scripts/polyml-platform, which has been
  3771 obsolete since Isabelle2009-2.
  3772 
  3773 * Various optional external tools are referenced more robustly and
  3774 uniformly by explicit Isabelle settings as follows:
  3775 
  3776   ISABELLE_CSDP   (formerly CSDP_EXE)
  3777   ISABELLE_GHC    (formerly EXEC_GHC or GHC_PATH)
  3778   ISABELLE_OCAML  (formerly EXEC_OCAML)
  3779   ISABELLE_SWIPL  (formerly EXEC_SWIPL)
  3780   ISABELLE_YAP    (formerly EXEC_YAP)
  3781 
  3782 Note that automated detection from the file-system or search path has
  3783 been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3784 
  3785 * Scala layer provides JVM method invocation service for static
  3786 methods of type (String)String, see Invoke_Scala.method in ML.  For
  3787 example:
  3788 
  3789   Invoke_Scala.method "java.lang.System.getProperty" "java.home"
  3790 
  3791 Together with YXML.string_of_body/parse_body and XML.Encode/Decode
  3792 this allows to pass structured values between ML and Scala.
  3793 
  3794 * The IsabelleText fonts includes some further glyphs to support the
  3795 Prover IDE.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: users who happen to have
  3796 installed a local copy (which is normally *not* required) need to
  3797 delete or update it from ~~/lib/fonts/.
  3798 
  3799 
  3800 
  3801 New in Isabelle2011 (January 2011)
  3802 ----------------------------------
  3803 
  3804 *** General ***
  3805 
  3806 * Experimental Prover IDE based on Isabelle/Scala and jEdit (see
  3807 src/Tools/jEdit).  This also serves as IDE for Isabelle/ML, with
  3808 useful tooltips and hyperlinks produced from its static analysis.  The
  3809 bundled component provides an executable Isabelle tool that can be run
  3810 like this:
  3811 
  3812   Isabelle2011/bin/isabelle jedit
  3813 
  3814 * Significantly improved Isabelle/Isar implementation manual.
  3815 
  3816 * System settings: ISABELLE_HOME_USER now includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER
  3817 (and thus refers to something like $HOME/.isabelle/Isabelle2011),
  3818 while the default heap location within that directory lacks that extra
  3819 suffix.  This isolates multiple Isabelle installations from each
  3820 other, avoiding problems with old settings in new versions.
  3821 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to copy/upgrade old user settings manually.
  3822 
  3823 * Source files are always encoded as UTF-8, instead of old-fashioned
  3824 ISO-Latin-1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Isabelle LaTeX documents might require
  3825 the following package declarations:
  3826 
  3827   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
  3828   \usepackage{textcomp}
  3829 
  3830 * Explicit treatment of UTF-8 sequences as Isabelle symbols, such that
  3831 a Unicode character is treated as a single symbol, not a sequence of
  3832 non-ASCII bytes as before.  Since Isabelle/ML string literals may
  3833 contain symbols without further backslash escapes, Unicode can now be
  3834 used here as well.  Recall that Symbol.explode in ML provides a
  3835 consistent view on symbols, while raw explode (or String.explode)
  3836 merely give a byte-oriented representation.
  3837 
  3838 * Theory loader: source files are primarily located via the master
  3839 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  3840 The global load path is still partially available as legacy feature.
  3841 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY due to subtle change in file lookup: use
  3842 explicit paths, relatively to the theory.
  3843 
  3844 * Special treatment of ML file names has been discontinued.
  3845 Historically, optional extensions .ML or .sml were added on demand --
  3846 at the cost of clarity of file dependencies.  Recall that Isabelle/ML
  3847 files exclusively use the .ML extension.  Minor INCOMPATIBILTY.
  3848 
  3849 * Various options that affect pretty printing etc. are now properly
  3850 handled within the context via configuration options, instead of
  3851 unsynchronized references or print modes.  There are both ML Config.T
  3852 entities and Isar declaration attributes to access these.
  3853 
  3854   ML (Config.T)                 Isar (attribute)
  3855 
  3856   eta_contract                  eta_contract
  3857   show_brackets                 show_brackets
  3858   show_sorts                    show_sorts
  3859   show_types                    show_types
  3860   show_question_marks           show_question_marks
  3861   show_consts                   show_consts
  3862   show_abbrevs                  show_abbrevs
  3863 
  3864   Syntax.ast_trace              syntax_ast_trace
  3865   Syntax.ast_stat               syntax_ast_stat
  3866   Syntax.ambiguity_level        syntax_ambiguity_level
  3867 
  3868   Goal_Display.goals_limit      goals_limit
  3869   Goal_Display.show_main_goal   show_main_goal
  3870 
  3871   Method.rule_trace             rule_trace
  3872 
  3873   Thy_Output.display            thy_output_display
  3874   Thy_Output.quotes             thy_output_quotes
  3875   Thy_Output.indent             thy_output_indent
  3876   Thy_Output.source             thy_output_source
  3877   Thy_Output.break              thy_output_break
  3878 
  3879 Note that corresponding "..._default" references in ML may only be
  3880 changed globally at the ROOT session setup, but *not* within a theory.
  3881 The option "show_abbrevs" supersedes the former print mode
  3882 "no_abbrevs" with inverted meaning.
  3883 
  3884 * More systematic naming of some configuration options.
  3885 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3886 
  3887   trace_simp  ~>  simp_trace
  3888   debug_simp  ~>  simp_debug
  3889 
  3890 * Support for real valued configuration options, using simplistic
  3891 floating-point notation that coincides with the inner syntax for
  3892 float_token.
  3893 
  3894 * Support for real valued preferences (with approximative PGIP type):
  3895 front-ends need to accept "pgint" values in float notation.
  3896 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3897 
  3898 * The IsabelleText font now includes Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic from
  3899 DejaVu Sans.
  3900 
  3901 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.0 and 5.1 versions.
  3902 
  3903 
  3904 *** Pure ***
  3905 
  3906 * Command 'type_synonym' (with single argument) replaces somewhat
  3907 outdated 'types', which is still available as legacy feature for some
  3908 time.
  3909 
  3910 * Command 'nonterminal' (with 'and' separated list of arguments)
  3911 replaces somewhat outdated 'nonterminals'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3912 
  3913 * Command 'notepad' replaces former 'example_proof' for
  3914 experimentation in Isar without any result.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3915 
  3916 * Locale interpretation commands 'interpret' and 'sublocale' accept
  3917 lists of equations to map definitions in a locale to appropriate
  3918 entities in the context of the interpretation.  The 'interpretation'
  3919 command already provided this functionality.
  3920 
  3921 * Diagnostic command 'print_dependencies' prints the locale instances
  3922 that would be activated if the specified expression was interpreted in
  3923 the current context.  Variant "print_dependencies!" assumes a context
  3924 without interpretations.
  3925 
  3926 * Diagnostic command 'print_interps' prints interpretations in proofs
  3927 in addition to interpretations in theories.
  3928 
  3929 * Discontinued obsolete 'global' and 'local' commands to manipulate
  3930 the theory name space.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.  The ML functions
  3931 Sign.root_path and Sign.local_path may be applied directly where this
  3932 feature is still required for historical reasons.
  3933 
  3934 * Discontinued obsolete 'constdefs' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  3935 'definition' instead.
  3936 
  3937 * The "prems" fact, which refers to the accidental collection of
  3938 foundational premises in the context, is now explicitly marked as
  3939 legacy feature and will be discontinued soon.  Consider using "assms"
  3940 of the head statement or reference facts by explicit names.
  3941 
  3942 * Document antiquotations @{class} and @{type} print classes and type
  3943 constructors.
  3944 
  3945 * Document antiquotation @{file} checks file/directory entries within
  3946 the local file system.
  3947 
  3948 
  3949 *** HOL ***
  3950 
  3951 * Coercive subtyping: functions can be declared as coercions and type
  3952 inference will add them as necessary upon input of a term.  Theory
  3953 Complex_Main declares real :: nat => real and real :: int => real as
  3954 coercions. A coercion function f is declared like this:
  3955 
  3956   declare [[coercion f]]
  3957 
  3958 To lift coercions through type constructors (e.g. from nat => real to
  3959 nat list => real list), map functions can be declared, e.g.
  3960 
  3961   declare [[coercion_map map]]
  3962 
  3963 Currently coercion inference is activated only in theories including
  3964 real numbers, i.e. descendants of Complex_Main.  This is controlled by
  3965 the configuration option "coercion_enabled", e.g. it can be enabled in
  3966 other theories like this:
  3967 
  3968   declare [[coercion_enabled]]
  3969 
  3970 * Command 'partial_function' provides basic support for recursive
  3971 function definitions over complete partial orders.  Concrete instances
  3972 are provided for i) the option type, ii) tail recursion on arbitrary
  3973 types, and iii) the heap monad of Imperative_HOL.  See
  3974 src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy and src/HOL/Imperative_HOL/ex/Linked_Lists.thy
  3975 for examples.
  3976 
  3977 * Function package: f.psimps rules are no longer implicitly declared
  3978 as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3979 
  3980 * Datatype package: theorems generated for executable equality (class
  3981 "eq") carry proper names and are treated as default code equations.
  3982 
  3983 * Inductive package: now offers command 'inductive_simps' to
  3984 automatically derive instantiated and simplified equations for
  3985 inductive predicates, similar to 'inductive_cases'.
  3986 
  3987 * Command 'enriched_type' allows to register properties of the
  3988 functorial structure of types.
  3989 
  3990 * Improved infrastructure for term evaluation using code generator
  3991 techniques, in particular static evaluation conversions.
  3992 
  3993 * Code generator: Scala (2.8 or higher) has been added to the target
  3994 languages.
  3995 
  3996 * Code generator: globbing constant expressions "*" and "Theory.*"
  3997 have been replaced by the more idiomatic "_" and "Theory._".
  3998 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3999 
  4000 * Code generator: export_code without explicit file declaration prints
  4001 to standard output.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4002 
  4003 * Code generator: do not print function definitions for case
  4004 combinators any longer.
  4005 
  4006 * Code generator: simplification with rules determined with
  4007 src/Tools/Code/code_simp.ML and method "code_simp".
  4008 
  4009 * Code generator for records: more idiomatic representation of record
  4010 types.  Warning: records are not covered by ancient SML code
  4011 generation any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  In cases of need, a suitable
  4012 rep_datatype declaration helps to succeed then:
  4013 
  4014   record 'a foo = ...
  4015   ...
  4016   rep_datatype foo_ext ...
  4017 
  4018 * Records: logical foundation type for records does not carry a
  4019 '_type' suffix any longer (obsolete due to authentic syntax).
  4020 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4021 
  4022 * Quickcheck now by default uses exhaustive testing instead of random
  4023 testing.  Random testing can be invoked by "quickcheck [random]",
  4024 exhaustive testing by "quickcheck [exhaustive]".
  4025 
  4026 * Quickcheck instantiates polymorphic types with small finite
  4027 datatypes by default. This enables a simple execution mechanism to
  4028 handle quantifiers and function equality over the finite datatypes.
  4029 
  4030 * Quickcheck random generator has been renamed from "code" to
  4031 "random".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4032 
  4033 * Quickcheck now has a configurable time limit which is set to 30
  4034 seconds by default. This can be changed by adding [timeout = n] to the
  4035 quickcheck command. The time limit for Auto Quickcheck is still set
  4036 independently.
  4037 
  4038 * Quickcheck in locales considers interpretations of that locale for
  4039 counter example search.
  4040 
  4041 * Sledgehammer:
  4042   - Added "smt" and "remote_smt" provers based on the "smt" proof
  4043     method. See the Sledgehammer manual for details ("isabelle doc
  4044     sledgehammer").
  4045   - Renamed commands:
  4046     sledgehammer atp_info ~> sledgehammer running_provers
  4047     sledgehammer atp_kill ~> sledgehammer kill_provers
  4048     sledgehammer available_atps ~> sledgehammer available_provers
  4049     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4050   - Renamed options:
  4051     sledgehammer [atps = ...] ~> sledgehammer [provers = ...]
  4052     sledgehammer [atp = ...] ~> sledgehammer [prover = ...]
  4053     sledgehammer [timeout = 77 s] ~> sledgehammer [timeout = 77]
  4054     (and "ms" and "min" are no longer supported)
  4055     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4056 
  4057 * Nitpick:
  4058   - Renamed options:
  4059     nitpick [timeout = 77 s] ~> nitpick [timeout = 77]
  4060     nitpick [tac_timeout = 777 ms] ~> nitpick [tac_timeout = 0.777]
  4061     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4062   - Added support for partial quotient types.
  4063   - Added local versions of the "Nitpick.register_xxx" functions.
  4064   - Added "whack" option.
  4065   - Allow registration of quotient types as codatatypes.
  4066   - Improved "merge_type_vars" option to merge more types.
  4067   - Removed unsound "fast_descrs" option.
  4068   - Added custom symmetry breaking for datatypes, making it possible to reach
  4069     higher cardinalities.
  4070   - Prevent the expansion of too large definitions.
  4071 
  4072 * Proof methods "metis" and "meson" now have configuration options
  4073 "meson_trace", "metis_trace", and "metis_verbose" that can be enabled
  4074 to diagnose these tools. E.g.
  4075 
  4076     using [[metis_trace = true]]
  4077 
  4078 * Auto Solve: Renamed "Auto Solve Direct".  The tool is now available
  4079 manually as command 'solve_direct'.
  4080 
  4081 * The default SMT solver Z3 must be enabled explicitly (due to
  4082 licensing issues) by setting the environment variable
  4083 Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL in etc/settings of the component, for example.  For
  4084 commercial applications, the SMT solver CVC3 is provided as fall-back;
  4085 changing the SMT solver is done via the configuration option
  4086 "smt_solver".
  4087 
  4088 * Remote SMT solvers need to be referred to by the "remote_" prefix,
  4089 i.e. "remote_cvc3" and "remote_z3".
  4090 
  4091 * Added basic SMT support for datatypes, records, and typedefs using
  4092 the oracle mode (no proofs).  Direct support of pairs has been dropped
  4093 in exchange (pass theorems fst_conv snd_conv pair_collapse to the SMT
  4094 support for a similar behavior).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4095 
  4096 * Changed SMT configuration options:
  4097   - Renamed:
  4098     z3_proofs ~> smt_oracle (with inverted meaning)
  4099     z3_trace_assms ~> smt_trace_used_facts
  4100     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4101   - Added:
  4102     smt_verbose
  4103     smt_random_seed
  4104     smt_datatypes
  4105     smt_infer_triggers
  4106     smt_monomorph_limit
  4107     cvc3_options
  4108     remote_cvc3_options
  4109     remote_z3_options
  4110     yices_options
  4111 
  4112 * Boogie output files (.b2i files) need to be declared in the theory
  4113 header.
  4114 
  4115 * Simplification procedure "list_to_set_comprehension" rewrites list
  4116 comprehensions applied to List.set to set comprehensions.  Occasional
  4117 INCOMPATIBILITY, may be deactivated like this:
  4118 
  4119   declare [[simproc del: list_to_set_comprehension]]
  4120 
  4121 * Removed old version of primrec package.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4122 
  4123 * Removed simplifier congruence rule of "prod_case", as has for long
  4124 been the case with "split".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4125 
  4126 * String.literal is a type, but not a datatype.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4127 
  4128 * Removed [split_format ... and ... and ...] version of
  4129 [split_format].  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4130 
  4131 * Predicate "sorted" now defined inductively, with nice induction
  4132 rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY: former sorted.simps now named sorted_simps.
  4133 
  4134 * Constant "contents" renamed to "the_elem", to free the generic name
  4135 contents for other uses.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4136 
  4137 * Renamed class eq and constant eq (for code generation) to class
  4138 equal and constant equal, plus renaming of related facts and various
  4139 tuning.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4140 
  4141 * Dropped type classes mult_mono and mult_mono1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4142 
  4143 * Removed output syntax "'a ~=> 'b" for "'a => 'b option".
  4144 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4145 
  4146 * Renamed theory Fset to Cset, type Fset.fset to Cset.set, in order to
  4147 avoid confusion with finite sets.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4148 
  4149 * Abandoned locales equiv, congruent and congruent2 for equivalence
  4150 relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use equivI rather than equiv_intro (same
  4151 for congruent(2)).
  4152 
  4153 * Some previously unqualified names have been qualified:
  4154 
  4155   types
  4156     bool ~> HOL.bool
  4157     nat ~> Nat.nat
  4158 
  4159   constants
  4160     Trueprop ~> HOL.Trueprop
  4161     True ~> HOL.True
  4162     False ~> HOL.False
  4163     op & ~> HOL.conj
  4164     op | ~> HOL.disj
  4165     op --> ~> HOL.implies
  4166     op = ~> HOL.eq
  4167     Not ~> HOL.Not

  4180     curry ~> Product_Type.curry
  4181     op : ~> Set.member
  4182     Collect ~> Set.Collect
  4183 
  4184 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4185 
  4186 * More canonical naming convention for some fundamental definitions:
  4187 
  4188     bot_bool_eq ~> bot_bool_def
  4189     top_bool_eq ~> top_bool_def
  4190     inf_bool_eq ~> inf_bool_def
  4191     sup_bool_eq ~> sup_bool_def
  4192     bot_fun_eq  ~> bot_fun_def
  4193     top_fun_eq  ~> top_fun_def
  4194     inf_fun_eq  ~> inf_fun_def
  4195     sup_fun_eq  ~> sup_fun_def
  4196 
  4197 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4198 
  4199 * More stylized fact names:
  4200 
  4201   expand_fun_eq ~> fun_eq_iff
  4202   expand_set_eq ~> set_eq_iff
  4203   set_ext       ~> set_eqI
  4204   nat_number    ~> eval_nat_numeral
  4205 
  4206 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4207 
  4208 * Refactoring of code-generation specific operations in theory List:
  4209 
  4210   constants
  4211     null ~> List.null
  4212 
  4213   facts
  4214     mem_iff ~> member_def
  4215     null_empty ~> null_def
  4216 
  4217 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that these were not supposed to be used
  4218 regularly unless for striking reasons; their main purpose was code
  4219 generation.
  4220 
  4221 Various operations from the Haskell prelude are used for generating
  4222 Haskell code.
  4223 
  4224 * Term "bij f" is now an abbreviation of "bij_betw f UNIV UNIV".  Term
  4225 "surj f" is now an abbreviation of "range f = UNIV".  The theorems
  4226 bij_def and surj_def are unchanged.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4227 
  4228 * Abolished some non-alphabetic type names: "prod" and "sum" replace
  4229 "*" and "+" respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4230 
  4231 * Name "Plus" of disjoint sum operator "<+>" is now hidden.  Write
  4232 "Sum_Type.Plus" instead.
  4233 
  4234 * Constant "split" has been merged with constant "prod_case"; names of
  4235 ML functions, facts etc. involving split have been retained so far,
  4236 though.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4237 
  4238 * Dropped old infix syntax "_ mem _" for List.member; use "_ : set _"
  4239 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4240 
  4241 * Removed lemma "Option.is_none_none" which duplicates "is_none_def".
  4242 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4243 
  4244 * Former theory Library/Enum is now part of the HOL-Main image.
  4245 INCOMPATIBILITY: all constants of the Enum theory now have to be
  4246 referred to by its qualified name.
  4247 
  4248   enum    ~>  Enum.enum
  4249   nlists  ~>  Enum.nlists
  4250   product ~>  Enum.product
  4251 
  4252 * Theory Library/Monad_Syntax provides do-syntax for monad types.
  4253 Syntax in Library/State_Monad has been changed to avoid ambiguities.
  4254 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4255 
  4256 * Theory Library/SetsAndFunctions has been split into
  4257 Library/Function_Algebras and Library/Set_Algebras; canonical names
  4258 for instance definitions for functions; various improvements.
  4259 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4260 
  4261 * Theory Library/Multiset provides stable quicksort implementation of
  4262 sort_key.
  4263 
  4264 * Theory Library/Multiset: renamed empty_idemp ~> empty_neutral.
  4265 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4266 
  4267 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: introduced a type class for euclidean
  4268 space.  Most theorems are now stated in terms of euclidean spaces
  4269 instead of finite cartesian products.
  4270 
  4271   types
  4272     real ^ 'n ~>  'a::real_vector
  4273               ~>  'a::euclidean_space
  4274               ~>  'a::ordered_euclidean_space
  4275         (depends on your needs)
  4276 
  4277   constants
  4278      _ $ _        ~> _ $$ _
  4279      \<chi> x. _  ~> \<chi>\<chi> x. _
  4280      CARD('n)     ~> DIM('a)
  4281 
  4282 Also note that the indices are now natural numbers and not from some
  4283 finite type. Finite cartesian products of euclidean spaces, products
  4284 of euclidean spaces the real and complex numbers are instantiated to
  4285 be euclidean_spaces.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4286 
  4287 * Session Probability: introduced pextreal as positive extended real
  4288 numbers.  Use pextreal as value for measures.  Introduce the
  4289 Radon-Nikodym derivative, product spaces and Fubini's theorem for
  4290 arbitrary sigma finite measures.  Introduces Lebesgue measure based on
  4291 the integral in Multivariate Analysis.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4292 
  4293 * Session Imperative_HOL: revamped, corrected dozens of inadequacies.
  4294 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4295 
  4296 * Session SPARK (with image HOL-SPARK) provides commands to load and
  4297 prove verification conditions generated by the SPARK Ada program
  4298 verifier.  See also src/HOL/SPARK and src/HOL/SPARK/Examples.
  4299 
  4300 
  4301 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  4302 
  4303 * Theorems for additive ring operations (locale abelian_monoid and
  4304 descendants) are generated by interpretation from their multiplicative
  4305 counterparts.  Names (in particular theorem names) have the mandatory
  4306 qualifier 'add'.  Previous theorem names are redeclared for
  4307 compatibility.
  4308 
  4309 * Structure "int_ring" is now an abbreviation (previously a
  4310 definition).  This fits more natural with advanced interpretations.
  4311 
  4312 
  4313 *** HOLCF ***
  4314 
  4315 * The domain package now runs in definitional mode by default: The
  4316 former command 'new_domain' is now called 'domain'.  To use the domain
  4317 package in its original axiomatic mode, use 'domain (unsafe)'.
  4318 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4319 
  4320 * The new class "domain" is now the default sort.  Class "predomain"
  4321 is an unpointed version of "domain". Theories can be updated by
  4322 replacing sort annotations as shown below.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4323 
  4324   'a::type ~> 'a::countable
  4325   'a::cpo  ~> 'a::predomain
  4326   'a::pcpo ~> 'a::domain
  4327 
  4328 * The old type class "rep" has been superseded by class "domain".
  4329 Accordingly, users of the definitional package must remove any
  4330 "default_sort rep" declarations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4331 
  4332 * The domain package (definitional mode) now supports unpointed
  4333 predomain argument types, as long as they are marked 'lazy'. (Strict
  4334 arguments must be in class "domain".) For example, the following
  4335 domain definition now works:
  4336 
  4337   domain natlist = nil | cons (lazy "nat discr") (lazy "natlist")
  4338 
  4339 * Theory HOLCF/Library/HOL_Cpo provides cpo and predomain class
  4340 instances for types from main HOL: bool, nat, int, char, 'a + 'b,
  4341 'a option, and 'a list.  Additionally, it configures fixrec and the
  4342 domain package to work with these types.  For example:
  4343 
  4344   fixrec isInl :: "('a + 'b) u -> tr"
  4345     where "isInl$(up$(Inl x)) = TT" | "isInl$(up$(Inr y)) = FF"
  4346 
  4347   domain V = VFun (lazy "V -> V") | VCon (lazy "nat") (lazy "V list")
  4348 
  4349 * The "(permissive)" option of fixrec has been replaced with a
  4350 per-equation "(unchecked)" option. See
  4351 src/HOL/HOLCF/Tutorial/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4352 
  4353 * The "bifinite" class no longer fixes a constant "approx"; the class
  4354 now just asserts that such a function exists.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4355 
  4356 * Former type "alg_defl" has been renamed to "defl".  HOLCF no longer
  4357 defines an embedding of type 'a defl into udom by default; instances
  4358 of "bifinite" and "domain" classes are available in
  4359 src/HOL/HOLCF/Library/Defl_Bifinite.thy.
  4360 
  4361 * The syntax "REP('a)" has been replaced with "DEFL('a)".
  4362 
  4363 * The predicate "directed" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4364 
  4365 * The type class "finite_po" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4366 
  4367 * The function "cprod_map" has been renamed to "prod_map".
  4368 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4369 
  4370 * The monadic bind operator on each powerdomain has new binder syntax
  4371 similar to sets, e.g. "\<Union>\<sharp>x\<in>xs. t" represents
  4372 "upper_bind\<cdot>xs\<cdot>(\<Lambda> x. t)".
  4373 
  4374 * The infix syntax for binary union on each powerdomain has changed
  4375 from e.g. "+\<sharp>" to "\<union>\<sharp>", for consistency with set
  4376 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4377 
  4378 * The constant "UU" has been renamed to "bottom".  The syntax "UU" is
  4379 still supported as an input translation.
  4380 
  4381 * Renamed some theorems (the original names are also still available).
  4382 
  4383   expand_fun_below   ~> fun_below_iff
  4384   below_fun_ext      ~> fun_belowI
  4385   expand_cfun_eq     ~> cfun_eq_iff
  4386   ext_cfun           ~> cfun_eqI
  4387   expand_cfun_below  ~> cfun_below_iff
  4388   below_cfun_ext     ~> cfun_belowI
  4389   cont2cont_Rep_CFun ~> cont2cont_APP
  4390 
  4391 * The Abs and Rep functions for various types have changed names.
  4392 Related theorem names have also changed to match. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4393 
  4394   Rep_CFun  ~> Rep_cfun
  4395   Abs_CFun  ~> Abs_cfun
  4396   Rep_Sprod ~> Rep_sprod
  4397   Abs_Sprod ~> Abs_sprod
  4398   Rep_Ssum  ~> Rep_ssum
  4399   Abs_Ssum  ~> Abs_ssum
  4400 
  4401 * Lemmas with names of the form *_defined_iff or *_strict_iff have
  4402 been renamed to *_bottom_iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4403 
  4404 * Various changes to bisimulation/coinduction with domain package:
  4405 
  4406   - Definitions of "bisim" constants no longer mention definedness.
  4407   - With mutual recursion, "bisim" predicate is now curried.
  4408   - With mutual recursion, each type gets a separate coind theorem.
  4409   - Variable names in bisim_def and coinduct rules have changed.
  4410 
  4411 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4412 
  4413 * Case combinators generated by the domain package for type "foo" are
  4414 now named "foo_case" instead of "foo_when".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4415 
  4416 * Several theorems have been renamed to more accurately reflect the
  4417 names of constants and types involved.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4489 *** FOL and ZF ***
  4490 
  4491 * All constant names are now qualified internally and use proper
  4492 identifiers, e.g. "IFOL.eq" instead of "op =".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4493 
  4494 
  4495 *** ML ***
  4496 
  4497 * Antiquotation @{assert} inlines a function bool -> unit that raises
  4498 Fail if the argument is false.  Due to inlining the source position of
  4499 failed assertions is included in the error output.
  4500 
  4501 * Discontinued antiquotation @{theory_ref}, which is obsolete since ML
  4502 text is in practice always evaluated with a stable theory checkpoint.
  4503 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use (Theory.check_thy @{theory}) instead.
  4504 
  4505 * Antiquotation @{theory A} refers to theory A from the ancestry of
  4506 the current context, not any accidental theory loader state as before.
  4507 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, subtle change in semantics.
  4508 
  4509 * Syntax.pretty_priority (default 0) configures the required priority
  4510 of pretty-printed output and thus affects insertion of parentheses.
  4511 
  4512 * Syntax.default_root (default "any") configures the inner syntax
  4513 category (nonterminal symbol) for parsing of terms.
  4514 
  4515 * Former exception Library.UnequalLengths now coincides with
  4516 ListPair.UnequalLengths.
  4517 
  4518 * Renamed structure MetaSimplifier to Raw_Simplifier.  Note that the
  4519 main functionality is provided by structure Simplifier.
  4520 
  4521 * Renamed raw "explode" function to "raw_explode" to emphasize its
  4522 meaning.  Note that internally to Isabelle, Symbol.explode is used in
  4523 almost all situations.
  4524 
  4525 * Discontinued obsolete function sys_error and exception SYS_ERROR.
  4526 See implementation manual for further details on exceptions in
  4527 Isabelle/ML.
  4528 
  4529 * Renamed setmp_noncritical to Unsynchronized.setmp to emphasize its
  4530 meaning.
  4531 
  4532 * Renamed structure PureThy to Pure_Thy and moved most of its
  4533 operations to structure Global_Theory, to emphasize that this is
  4534 rarely-used global-only stuff.
  4535 
  4536 * Discontinued Output.debug.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use plain writeln
  4537 instead (or tracing for high-volume output).
  4538 
  4539 * Configuration option show_question_marks only affects regular pretty
  4540 printing of types and terms, not raw Term.string_of_vname.
  4541 
  4542 * ML_Context.thm and ML_Context.thms are no longer pervasive.  Rare
  4543 INCOMPATIBILITY, superseded by static antiquotations @{thm} and
  4544 @{thms} for most purposes.
  4545 
  4546 * ML structure Unsynchronized is never opened, not even in Isar
  4547 interaction mode as before.  Old Unsynchronized.set etc. have been
  4548 discontinued -- use plain := instead.  This should be *rare* anyway,
  4549 since modern tools always work via official context data, notably
  4550 configuration options.
  4551 
  4552 * Parallel and asynchronous execution requires special care concerning
  4553 interrupts.  Structure Exn provides some convenience functions that
  4554 avoid working directly with raw Interrupt.  User code must not absorb
  4555 interrupts -- intermediate handling (for cleanup etc.) needs to be
  4556 followed by re-raising of the original exception.  Another common
  4557 source of mistakes are "handle _" patterns, which make the meaning of
  4558 the program subject to physical effects of the environment.

  4561 
  4562 New in Isabelle2009-2 (June 2010)
  4563 ---------------------------------
  4564 
  4565 *** General ***
  4566 
  4567 * Authentic syntax for *all* logical entities (type classes, type
  4568 constructors, term constants): provides simple and robust
  4569 correspondence between formal entities and concrete syntax.  Within
  4570 the parse tree / AST representations, "constants" are decorated by
  4571 their category (class, type, const) and spelled out explicitly with
  4572 their full internal name.
  4573 
  4574 Substantial INCOMPATIBILITY concerning low-level syntax declarations
  4575 and translations (translation rules and translation functions in ML).
  4576 Some hints on upgrading:
  4577 
  4578   - Many existing uses of 'syntax' and 'translations' can be replaced
  4579     by more modern 'type_notation', 'notation' and 'abbreviation',
  4580     which are independent of this issue.
  4581 
  4582   - 'translations' require markup within the AST; the term syntax
  4583     provides the following special forms:
  4584 
  4585       CONST c   -- produces syntax version of constant c from context
  4586       XCONST c  -- literally c, checked as constant from context
  4587       c         -- literally c, if declared by 'syntax'
  4588 
  4589     Plain identifiers are treated as AST variables -- occasionally the
  4590     system indicates accidental variables via the error "rhs contains
  4591     extra variables".
  4592 
  4593     Type classes and type constructors are marked according to their
  4594     concrete syntax.  Some old translations rules need to be written
  4595     for the "type" category, using type constructor application
  4596     instead of pseudo-term application of the default category
  4597     "logic".
  4598 
  4599   - 'parse_translation' etc. in ML may use the following
  4600     antiquotations:
  4601 
  4602       @{class_syntax c}   -- type class c within parse tree / AST
  4603       @{term_syntax c}    -- type constructor c within parse tree / AST
  4604       @{const_syntax c}   -- ML version of "CONST c" above
  4605       @{syntax_const c}   -- literally c (checked wrt. 'syntax' declarations)
  4606 
  4607   - Literal types within 'typed_print_translations', i.e. those *not*
  4608     represented as pseudo-terms are represented verbatim.  Use @{class
  4609     c} or @{type_name c} here instead of the above syntax
  4610     antiquotations.
  4611 
  4612 Note that old non-authentic syntax was based on unqualified base
  4613 names, so all of the above "constant" names would coincide.  Recall
  4614 that 'print_syntax' and ML_command "set Syntax.trace_ast" help to
  4615 diagnose syntax problems.
  4616 
  4617 * Type constructors admit general mixfix syntax, not just infix.
  4618 
  4619 * Concrete syntax may be attached to local entities without a proof
  4620 body, too.  This works via regular mixfix annotations for 'fix',
  4621 'def', 'obtain' etc. or via the explicit 'write' command, which is
  4622 similar to the 'notation' command in theory specifications.
  4623 
  4624 * Discontinued unnamed infix syntax (legacy feature for many years) --
  4625 need to specify constant name and syntax separately.  Internal ML
  4626 datatype constructors have been renamed from InfixName to Infix etc.
  4627 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4628 
  4629 * Schematic theorem statements need to be explicitly markup as such,
  4630 via commands 'schematic_lemma', 'schematic_theorem',
  4631 'schematic_corollary'.  Thus the relevance of the proof is made
  4632 syntactically clear, which impacts performance in a parallel or
  4633 asynchronous interactive environment.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4634 
  4635 * Use of cumulative prems via "!" in some proof methods has been
  4636 discontinued (old legacy feature).
  4637 
  4638 * References 'trace_simp' and 'debug_simp' have been replaced by
  4639 configuration options stored in the context. Enabling tracing (the
  4640 case of debugging is similar) in proofs works via
  4641 
  4642   using [[trace_simp = true]]
  4643 
  4644 Tracing is then active for all invocations of the simplifier in
  4645 subsequent goal refinement steps. Tracing may also still be enabled or
  4646 disabled via the ProofGeneral settings menu.
  4647 
  4648 * Separate commands 'hide_class', 'hide_type', 'hide_const',
  4649 'hide_fact' replace the former 'hide' KIND command.  Minor
  4650 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4651 
  4652 * Improved parallelism of proof term normalization: usedir -p2 -q0 is
  4653 more efficient than combinations with -q1 or -q2.
  4654 
  4655 
  4656 *** Pure ***
  4657 
  4658 * Proofterms record type-class reasoning explicitly, using the
  4659 "unconstrain" operation internally.  This eliminates all sort
  4660 constraints from a theorem and proof, introducing explicit
  4661 OFCLASS-premises.  On the proof term level, this operation is
  4662 automatically applied at theorem boundaries, such that closed proofs
  4663 are always free of sort constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools that
  4664 inspect proof terms.
  4665 
  4666 * Local theory specifications may depend on extra type variables that
  4667 are not present in the result type -- arguments TYPE('a) :: 'a itself
  4668 are added internally.  For example:
  4669 
  4670   definition unitary :: bool where "unitary = (ALL (x::'a) y. x = y)"
  4671 
  4672 * Predicates of locales introduced by classes carry a mandatory
  4673 "class" prefix.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4674 
  4675 * Vacuous class specifications observe default sort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4676 
  4677 * Old 'axclass' command has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  4678 'class' instead.
  4679 
  4680 * Command 'code_reflect' allows to incorporate generated ML code into
  4681 runtime environment; replaces immature code_datatype antiquotation.
  4682 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4683 
  4684 * Code generator: simple concept for abstract datatypes obeying
  4685 invariants.
  4686 
  4687 * Code generator: details of internal data cache have no impact on the
  4688 user space functionality any longer.
  4689 
  4690 * Methods "unfold_locales" and "intro_locales" ignore non-locale
  4691 subgoals.  This is more appropriate for interpretations with 'where'.
  4692 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4693 
  4694 * Command 'example_proof' opens an empty proof body.  This allows to
  4695 experiment with Isar, without producing any persistent result.
  4696 
  4697 * Commands 'type_notation' and 'no_type_notation' declare type syntax
  4698 within a local theory context, with explicit checking of the
  4699 constructors involved (in contrast to the raw 'syntax' versions).
  4700 
  4701 * Commands 'types' and 'typedecl' now work within a local theory
  4702 context -- without introducing dependencies on parameters or
  4703 assumptions, which is not possible in Isabelle/Pure.
  4704 
  4705 * Command 'defaultsort' has been renamed to 'default_sort', it works
  4706 within a local theory context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4707 
  4708 
  4709 *** HOL ***
  4710 
  4711 * Command 'typedef' now works within a local theory context -- without
  4712 introducing dependencies on parameters or assumptions, which is not
  4713 possible in Isabelle/Pure/HOL.  Note that the logical environment may
  4714 contain multiple interpretations of local typedefs (with different
  4715 non-emptiness proofs), even in a global theory context.
  4716 
  4717 * New package for quotient types.  Commands 'quotient_type' and
  4718 'quotient_definition' may be used for defining types and constants by
  4719 quotient constructions.  An example is the type of integers created by
  4720 quotienting pairs of natural numbers:
  4721 
  4722   fun
  4723     intrel :: "(nat * nat) => (nat * nat) => bool"
  4724   where
  4725     "intrel (x, y) (u, v) = (x + v = u + y)"
  4726 
  4727   quotient_type int = "nat * nat" / intrel
  4728     by (auto simp add: equivp_def expand_fun_eq)
  4729 
  4730   quotient_definition
  4731     "0::int" is "(0::nat, 0::nat)"
  4732 
  4733 The method "lifting" can be used to lift of theorems from the
  4734 underlying "raw" type to the quotient type.  The example
  4735 src/HOL/Quotient_Examples/FSet.thy includes such a quotient
  4736 construction and provides a reasoning infrastructure for finite sets.
  4737 
  4738 * Renamed Library/Quotient.thy to Library/Quotient_Type.thy to avoid
  4739 clash with new theory Quotient in Main HOL.
  4740 
  4741 * Moved the SMT binding into the main HOL session, eliminating
  4742 separate HOL-SMT session.
  4743 
  4744 * List membership infix mem operation is only an input abbreviation.
  4745 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4746 
  4747 * Theory Library/Word.thy has been removed.  Use library Word/Word.thy
  4748 for future developements; former Library/Word.thy is still present in
  4749 the AFP entry RSAPPS.
  4750 
  4751 * Theorem Int.int_induct renamed to Int.int_of_nat_induct and is no
  4752 longer shadowed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4753 
  4754 * Dropped theorem duplicate comp_arith; use semiring_norm instead.
  4755 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4756 
  4757 * Dropped theorem RealPow.real_sq_order; use power2_le_imp_le instead.
  4758 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4759 
  4760 * Dropped normalizing_semiring etc; use the facts in semiring classes
  4761 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4762 
  4763 * Dropped several real-specific versions of lemmas about floor and
  4764 ceiling; use the generic lemmas from theory "Archimedean_Field"
  4765 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4798 * Theory "Finite_Set": various folding_XXX locales facilitate the
  4799 application of the various fold combinators on finite sets.
  4800 
  4801 * Library theory "RBT" renamed to "RBT_Impl"; new library theory "RBT"
  4802 provides abstract red-black tree type which is backed by "RBT_Impl" as
  4803 implementation.  INCOMPATIBILTY.
  4804 
  4805 * Theory Library/Coinductive_List has been removed -- superseded by
  4806 AFP/thys/Coinductive.
  4807 
  4808 * Theory PReal, including the type "preal" and related operations, has
  4809 been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4810 
  4811 * Real: new development using Cauchy Sequences.
  4812 
  4813 * Split off theory "Big_Operators" containing setsum, setprod,
  4814 Inf_fin, Sup_fin, Min, Max from theory Finite_Set.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4815 
  4816 * Theory "Rational" renamed to "Rat", for consistency with "Nat",
  4817 "Int" etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4818 
  4819 * Constant Rat.normalize needs to be qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4820 
  4821 * New set of rules "ac_simps" provides combined assoc / commute
  4822 rewrites for all interpretations of the appropriate generic locales.
  4823 
  4824 * Renamed theory "OrderedGroup" to "Groups" and split theory
  4825 "Ring_and_Field" into theories "Rings" and "Fields"; for more
  4826 appropriate and more consistent names suitable for name prefixes
  4827 within the HOL theories.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4828 
  4829 * Some generic constants have been put to appropriate theories:
  4830   - less_eq, less: Orderings
  4831   - zero, one, plus, minus, uminus, times, abs, sgn: Groups
  4832   - inverse, divide: Rings
  4833 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4834 
  4835 * More consistent naming of type classes involving orderings (and
  4836 lattices):
  4837 
  4838     lower_semilattice                   ~> semilattice_inf

  4875 
  4876   The following slightly odd type classes have been moved to a
  4877   separate theory Library/Lattice_Algebras:
  4878 
  4879     lordered_ab_group_add               ~> lattice_ab_group_add
  4880     lordered_ab_group_add_abs           ~> lattice_ab_group_add_abs

  4882     lordered_ab_group_add_join          ~> semilattice_sup_ab_group_add
  4883     lordered_ring                       ~> lattice_ring
  4884 
  4885 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4886 
  4887 * Refined field classes:
  4888   - classes division_ring_inverse_zero, field_inverse_zero,
  4889     linordered_field_inverse_zero include rule inverse 0 = 0 --
  4890     subsumes former division_by_zero class;
  4891   - numerous lemmas have been ported from field to division_ring.
  4892 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4893 
  4894 * Refined algebra theorem collections:
  4895   - dropped theorem group group_simps, use algebra_simps instead;
  4896   - dropped theorem group ring_simps, use field_simps instead;
  4897   - proper theorem collection field_simps subsumes former theorem
  4898     groups field_eq_simps and field_simps;
  4899   - dropped lemma eq_minus_self_iff which is a duplicate for
  4900     equal_neg_zero.
  4901 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4902 
  4903 * Theory Finite_Set and List: some lemmas have been generalized from
  4904 sets to lattices:
  4905 
  4906   fun_left_comm_idem_inter      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_inf
  4907   fun_left_comm_idem_union      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_sup

  4915   UNION_fold_union              ~> SUPR_fold_sup
  4916 
  4917 * Theory "Complete_Lattice": lemmas top_def and bot_def have been
  4918 replaced by the more convenient lemmas Inf_empty and Sup_empty.
  4919 Dropped lemmas Inf_insert_simp and Sup_insert_simp, which are subsumed
  4920 by Inf_insert and Sup_insert.  Lemmas Inf_UNIV and Sup_UNIV replace
  4921 former Inf_Univ and Sup_Univ.  Lemmas inf_top_right and sup_bot_right
  4922 subsume inf_top and sup_bot respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4923 
  4924 * Reorganized theory Multiset: swapped notation of pointwise and
  4925 multiset order:
  4926 
  4927   - pointwise ordering is instance of class order with standard syntax
  4928     <= and <;
  4929   - multiset ordering has syntax <=# and <#; partial order properties
  4930     are provided by means of interpretation with prefix
  4931     multiset_order;
  4932   - less duplication, less historical organization of sections,
  4933     conversion from associations lists to multisets, rudimentary code
  4934     generation;
  4935   - use insert_DiffM2 [symmetric] instead of elem_imp_eq_diff_union,
  4936     if needed.
  4937 
  4938 Renamed:
  4939 
  4940   multiset_eq_conv_count_eq  ~>  multiset_ext_iff
  4941   multi_count_ext  ~>  multiset_ext
  4942   diff_union_inverse2  ~>  diff_union_cancelR
  4943 
  4944 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4945 
  4946 * Theory Permutation: replaced local "remove" by List.remove1.
  4947 
  4948 * Code generation: ML and OCaml code is decorated with signatures.
  4949 
  4950 * Theory List: added transpose.
  4951 
  4952 * Library/Nat_Bijection.thy is a collection of bijective functions
  4953 between nat and other types, which supersedes the older libraries
  4954 Library/Nat_Int_Bij.thy and HOLCF/NatIso.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4984   Nat_Int_Bij.bij_int_to_nat_bij  ~> bij_int_decode
  4985 
  4986 * Sledgehammer:
  4987   - Renamed ATP commands:
  4988     atp_info     ~> sledgehammer running_atps
  4989     atp_kill     ~> sledgehammer kill_atps
  4990     atp_messages ~> sledgehammer messages
  4991     atp_minimize ~> sledgehammer minimize
  4992     print_atps   ~> sledgehammer available_atps
  4993     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4994   - Added user's manual ("isabelle doc sledgehammer").
  4995   - Added option syntax and "sledgehammer_params" to customize
  4996     Sledgehammer's behavior.  See the manual for details.
  4997   - Modified the Isar proof reconstruction code so that it produces
  4998     direct proofs rather than proofs by contradiction.  (This feature
  4999     is still experimental.)
  5000   - Made Isar proof reconstruction work for SPASS, remote ATPs, and in
  5001     full-typed mode.
  5002   - Added support for TPTP syntax for SPASS via the "spass_tptp" ATP.
  5003 
  5004 * Nitpick:
  5005   - Added and implemented "binary_ints" and "bits" options.
  5006   - Added "std" option and implemented support for nonstandard models.
  5007   - Added and implemented "finitize" option to improve the precision
  5008     of infinite datatypes based on a monotonicity analysis.
  5009   - Added support for quotient types.
  5010   - Added support for "specification" and "ax_specification"
  5011     constructs.
  5012   - Added support for local definitions (for "function" and
  5013     "termination" proofs).
  5014   - Added support for term postprocessors.
  5015   - Optimized "Multiset.multiset" and "FinFun.finfun".
  5016   - Improved efficiency of "destroy_constrs" optimization.
  5017   - Fixed soundness bugs related to "destroy_constrs" optimization and
  5018     record getters.
  5019   - Fixed soundness bug related to higher-order constructors.
  5020   - Fixed soundness bug when "full_descrs" is enabled.
  5021   - Improved precision of set constructs.
  5022   - Added "atoms" option.
  5023   - Added cache to speed up repeated Kodkod invocations on the same
  5024     problems.
  5025   - Renamed "MiniSatJNI", "zChaffJNI", "BerkMinAlloy", and
  5026     "SAT4JLight" to "MiniSat_JNI", "zChaff_JNI", "BerkMin_Alloy", and
  5027     "SAT4J_Light".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5028   - Removed "skolemize", "uncurry", "sym_break", "flatten_prop",
  5029     "sharing_depth", and "show_skolems" options.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5030   - Removed "nitpick_intro" attribute.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5031 
  5032 * Method "induct" now takes instantiations of the form t, where t is not
  5033   a variable, as a shorthand for "x == t", where x is a fresh variable.
  5034   If this is not intended, t has to be enclosed in parentheses.
  5035   By default, the equalities generated by definitional instantiations
  5036   are pre-simplified, which may cause parameters of inductive cases
  5037   to disappear, or may even delete some of the inductive cases.
  5038   Use "induct (no_simp)" instead of "induct" to restore the old
  5039   behaviour. The (no_simp) option is also understood by the "cases"
  5040   and "nominal_induct" methods, which now perform pre-simplification, too.
  5041   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5042 
  5043 
  5044 *** HOLCF ***
  5045 
  5046 * Variable names in lemmas generated by the domain package have
  5047 changed; the naming scheme is now consistent with the HOL datatype
  5048 package.  Some proof scripts may be affected, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5049 
  5050 * The domain package no longer defines the function "foo_copy" for
  5051 recursive domain "foo".  The reach lemma is now stated directly in
  5052 terms of "foo_take".  Lemmas and proofs that mention "foo_copy" must
  5053 be reformulated in terms of "foo_take", INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5054 
  5055 * Most definedness lemmas generated by the domain package (previously
  5056 of the form "x ~= UU ==> foo$x ~= UU") now have an if-and-only-if form
  5057 like "foo$x = UU <-> x = UU", which works better as a simp rule.
  5058 Proofs that used definedness lemmas as intro rules may break,
  5059 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5060 
  5061 * Induction and casedist rules generated by the domain package now
  5062 declare proper case_names (one called "bottom", and one named for each
  5063 constructor).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5064 
  5065 * For mutually-recursive domains, separate "reach" and "take_lemma"
  5066 rules are generated for each domain, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5067 
  5068   foo_bar.reach       ~> foo.reach  bar.reach
  5069   foo_bar.take_lemmas ~> foo.take_lemma  bar.take_lemma
  5070 
  5071 * Some lemmas generated by the domain package have been renamed for
  5072 consistency with the datatype package, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5073 
  5074   foo.ind        ~> foo.induct
  5075   foo.finite_ind ~> foo.finite_induct
  5076   foo.coind      ~> foo.coinduct
  5077   foo.casedist   ~> foo.exhaust
  5078   foo.exhaust    ~> foo.nchotomy
  5079 
  5080 * For consistency with other definition packages, the fixrec package
  5081 now generates qualified theorem names, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5082 
  5083   foo_simps  ~> foo.simps
  5084   foo_unfold ~> foo.unfold
  5085   foo_induct ~> foo.induct
  5086 
  5087 * The "fixrec_simp" attribute has been removed.  The "fixrec_simp"
  5088 method and internal fixrec proofs now use the default simpset instead.
  5089 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5090 
  5091 * The "contlub" predicate has been removed.  Proof scripts should use
  5092 lemma contI2 in place of monocontlub2cont, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5093 
  5094 * The "admw" predicate has been removed, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5095 
  5096 * The constants cpair, cfst, and csnd have been removed in favor of
  5097 Pair, fst, and snd from Isabelle/HOL, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5098 
  5099 
  5100 *** ML ***
  5101 
  5102 * Antiquotations for basic formal entities:
  5103 
  5104     @{class NAME}         -- type class
  5105     @{class_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of the above
  5106 
  5107     @{type_name NAME}     -- logical type
  5108     @{type_abbrev NAME}   -- type abbreviation
  5109     @{nonterminal NAME}   -- type of concrete syntactic category
  5110     @{type_syntax NAME}   -- syntax representation of any of the above
  5111 
  5112     @{const_name NAME}    -- logical constant (INCOMPATIBILITY)
  5113     @{const_abbrev NAME}  -- abbreviated constant
  5114     @{const_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of any of the above
  5115 
  5116 * Antiquotation @{syntax_const NAME} ensures that NAME refers to a raw
  5117 syntax constant (cf. 'syntax' command).
  5118 
  5119 * Antiquotation @{make_string} inlines a function to print arbitrary
  5120 values similar to the ML toplevel.  The result is compiler dependent
  5121 and may fall back on "?" in certain situations.
  5122 
  5123 * Diagnostic commands 'ML_val' and 'ML_command' may refer to
  5124 antiquotations @{Isar.state} and @{Isar.goal}.  This replaces impure
  5125 Isar.state() and Isar.goal(), which belong to the old TTY loop and do
  5126 not work with the asynchronous Isar document model.
  5127 
  5128 * Configuration options now admit dynamic default values, depending on
  5129 the context or even global references.
  5130 
  5131 * SHA1.digest digests strings according to SHA-1 (see RFC 3174).  It
  5132 uses an efficient external library if available (for Poly/ML).
  5133 
  5134 * Renamed some important ML structures, while keeping the old names
  5135 for some time as aliases within the structure Legacy:
  5136 
  5137   OuterKeyword  ~>  Keyword
  5138   OuterLex      ~>  Token
  5139   OuterParse    ~>  Parse
  5140   OuterSyntax   ~>  Outer_Syntax
  5141   PrintMode     ~>  Print_Mode
  5142   SpecParse     ~>  Parse_Spec
  5143   ThyInfo       ~>  Thy_Info
  5144   ThyLoad       ~>  Thy_Load
  5145   ThyOutput     ~>  Thy_Output
  5146   TypeInfer     ~>  Type_Infer
  5147 
  5148 Note that "open Legacy" simplifies porting of sources, but forgetting
  5149 to remove it again will complicate porting again in the future.
  5150 
  5151 * Most operations that refer to a global context are named
  5152 accordingly, e.g. Simplifier.global_context or
  5153 ProofContext.init_global.  There are some situations where a global
  5154 context actually works, but under normal circumstances one needs to
  5155 pass the proper local context through the code!
  5156 
  5157 * Discontinued old TheoryDataFun with its copy/init operation -- data
  5158 needs to be pure.  Functor Theory_Data_PP retains the traditional
  5159 Pretty.pp argument to merge, which is absent in the standard
  5160 Theory_Data version.
  5161 
  5162 * Sorts.certify_sort and derived "cert" operations for types and terms
  5163 no longer minimize sorts.  Thus certification at the boundary of the
  5164 inference kernel becomes invariant under addition of class relations,
  5165 which is an important monotonicity principle.  Sorts are now minimized
  5166 in the syntax layer only, at the boundary between the end-user and the
  5167 system.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY, may have to use Sign.minimize_sort
  5168 explicitly in rare situations.
  5169 
  5170 * Renamed old-style Drule.standard to Drule.export_without_context, to
  5171 emphasize that this is in no way a standard operation.
  5172 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5173 
  5174 * Subgoal.FOCUS (and variants): resulting goal state is normalized as
  5175 usual for resolution.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5176 
  5177 * Renamed varify/unvarify operations to varify_global/unvarify_global
  5178 to emphasize that these only work in a global situation (which is
  5179 quite rare).
  5180 
  5181 * Curried take and drop in library.ML; negative length is interpreted
  5182 as infinity (as in chop).  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5183 
  5184 * Proof terms: type substitutions on proof constants now use canonical
  5185 order of type variables.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools working with proof
  5186 terms.
  5187 
  5188 * Raw axioms/defs may no longer carry sort constraints, and raw defs
  5189 may no longer carry premises.  User-level specifications are
  5190 transformed accordingly by Thm.add_axiom/add_def.
  5191 
  5192 
  5193 *** System ***
  5194 
  5195 * Discontinued special HOL_USEDIR_OPTIONS for the main HOL image;
  5196 ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS applies uniformly to all sessions.  Note that
  5197 proof terms are enabled unconditionally in the new HOL-Proofs image.
  5198 
  5199 * Discontinued old ISABELLE and ISATOOL environment settings (legacy
  5200 feature since Isabelle2009).  Use ISABELLE_PROCESS and ISABELLE_TOOL,
  5201 respectively.
  5202 
  5203 * Old lib/scripts/polyml-platform is superseded by the
  5204 ISABELLE_PLATFORM setting variable, which defaults to the 32 bit
  5205 variant, even on a 64 bit machine.  The following example setting
  5206 prefers 64 bit if available:
  5207 
  5208   ML_PLATFORM="${ISABELLE_PLATFORM64:-$ISABELLE_PLATFORM}"
  5209 
  5210 * The preliminary Isabelle/jEdit application demonstrates the emerging
  5211 Isabelle/Scala layer for advanced prover interaction and integration.
  5212 See src/Tools/jEdit or "isabelle jedit" provided by the properly built
  5213 component.
  5214 
  5215 * "IsabelleText" is a Unicode font derived from Bitstream Vera Mono
  5216 and Bluesky TeX fonts.  It provides the usual Isabelle symbols,
  5217 similar to the default assignment of the document preparation system
  5218 (cf. isabellesym.sty).  The Isabelle/Scala class Isabelle_System
  5219 provides some operations for direct access to the font without asking
  5220 the user for manual installation.
  5221 
  5222 
  5223 
  5224 New in Isabelle2009-1 (December 2009)
  5225 -------------------------------------
  5226 
  5227 *** General ***
  5228 
  5229 * Discontinued old form of "escaped symbols" such as \\<forall>.  Only
  5230 one backslash should be used, even in ML sources.
  5231 
  5232 
  5233 *** Pure ***
  5234 
  5235 * Locale interpretation propagates mixins along the locale hierarchy.
  5236 The currently only available mixins are the equations used to map
  5237 local definitions to terms of the target domain of an interpretation.
  5238 
  5239 * Reactivated diagnostic command 'print_interps'.  Use "print_interps
  5240 loc" to print all interpretations of locale "loc" in the theory.
  5241 Interpretations in proofs are not shown.
  5242 
  5243 * Thoroughly revised locales tutorial.  New section on conditional
  5244 interpretation.
  5245 
  5246 * On instantiation of classes, remaining undefined class parameters
  5247 are formally declared.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5248 
  5249 
  5250 *** Document preparation ***
  5251 
  5252 * New generalized style concept for printing terms: @{foo (style) ...}
  5253 instead of @{foo_style style ...}  (old form is still retained for
  5254 backward compatibility).  Styles can be also applied for
  5255 antiquotations prop, term_type and typeof.
  5256 
  5257 
  5258 *** HOL ***
  5259 
  5260 * New proof method "smt" for a combination of first-order logic with
  5261 equality, linear and nonlinear (natural/integer/real) arithmetic, and
  5262 fixed-size bitvectors; there is also basic support for higher-order
  5263 features (esp. lambda abstractions).  It is an incomplete decision
  5264 procedure based on external SMT solvers using the oracle mechanism;
  5265 for the SMT solver Z3, this method is proof-producing.  Certificates
  5266 are provided to avoid calling the external solvers solely for
  5267 re-checking proofs.  Due to a remote SMT service there is no need for
  5268 installing SMT solvers locally.  See src/HOL/SMT.
  5269 
  5270 * New commands to load and prove verification conditions generated by
  5271 the Boogie program verifier or derived systems (e.g. the Verifying C
  5272 Compiler (VCC) or Spec#).  See src/HOL/Boogie.
  5273 
  5274 * New counterexample generator tool 'nitpick' based on the Kodkod
  5275 relational model finder.  See src/HOL/Tools/Nitpick and
  5276 src/HOL/Nitpick_Examples.
  5277 
  5278 * New commands 'code_pred' and 'values' to invoke the predicate
  5279 compiler and to enumerate values of inductive predicates.
  5280 
  5281 * A tabled implementation of the reflexive transitive closure.
  5282 
  5283 * New implementation of quickcheck uses generic code generator;
  5284 default generators are provided for all suitable HOL types, records
  5285 and datatypes.  Old quickcheck can be re-activated importing theory
  5286 Library/SML_Quickcheck.
  5287 
  5288 * New testing tool Mirabelle for automated proof tools.  Applies
  5289 several tools and tactics like sledgehammer, metis, or quickcheck, to
  5290 every proof step in a theory.  To be used in batch mode via the
  5291 "mirabelle" utility.
  5292 
  5293 * New proof method "sos" (sum of squares) for nonlinear real
  5294 arithmetic (originally due to John Harison). It requires theory
  5295 Library/Sum_Of_Squares.  It is not a complete decision procedure but
  5296 works well in practice on quantifier-free real arithmetic with +, -,
  5297 *, ^, =, <= and <, i.e. boolean combinations of equalities and
  5298 inequalities between polynomials.  It makes use of external
  5299 semidefinite programming solvers.  Method "sos" generates a
  5300 certificate that can be pasted into the proof thus avoiding the need
  5301 to call an external tool every time the proof is checked.  See
  5302 src/HOL/Library/Sum_Of_Squares.
  5303 
  5304 * New method "linarith" invokes existing linear arithmetic decision
  5305 procedure only.
  5306 
  5307 * New command 'atp_minimal' reduces result produced by Sledgehammer.
  5308 
  5309 * New Sledgehammer option "Full Types" in Proof General settings menu.
  5310 Causes full type information to be output to the ATPs.  This slows
  5311 ATPs down considerably but eliminates a source of unsound "proofs"
  5312 that fail later.
  5313 
  5314 * New method "metisFT": A version of metis that uses full type
  5315 information in order to avoid failures of proof reconstruction.
  5316 
  5317 * New evaluator "approximate" approximates an real valued term using
  5318 the same method as the approximation method.
  5319 
  5320 * Method "approximate" now supports arithmetic expressions as
  5321 boundaries of intervals and implements interval splitting and Taylor
  5322 series expansion.
  5323 
  5324 * ML antiquotation @{code_datatype} inserts definition of a datatype
  5325 generated by the code generator; e.g. see src/HOL/Predicate.thy.
  5326 
  5327 * New theory SupInf of the supremum and infimum operators for sets of
  5328 reals.
  5329 
  5330 * New theory Probability, which contains a development of measure
  5331 theory, eventually leading to Lebesgue integration and probability.
  5332 
  5333 * Extended Multivariate Analysis to include derivation and Brouwer's
  5334 fixpoint theorem.
  5335 
  5336 * Reorganization of number theory, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5337   - new number theory development for nat and int, in theories Divides
  5338     and GCD as well as in new session Number_Theory
  5339   - some constants and facts now suffixed with _nat and _int
  5340     accordingly
  5341   - former session NumberTheory now named Old_Number_Theory, including
  5342     theories Legacy_GCD and Primes (prefer Number_Theory if possible)
  5343   - moved theory Pocklington from src/HOL/Library to
  5344     src/HOL/Old_Number_Theory
  5345 
  5346 * Theory GCD includes functions Gcd/GCD and Lcm/LCM for the gcd and
  5347 lcm of finite and infinite sets. It is shown that they form a complete
  5348 lattice.
  5349 
  5350 * Class semiring_div requires superclass no_zero_divisors and proof of
  5351 div_mult_mult1; theorems div_mult_mult1, div_mult_mult2,
  5352 div_mult_mult1_if, div_mult_mult1 and div_mult_mult2 have been
  5353 generalized to class semiring_div, subsuming former theorems
  5354 zdiv_zmult_zmult1, zdiv_zmult_zmult1_if, zdiv_zmult_zmult1 and
  5355 zdiv_zmult_zmult2.  div_mult_mult1 is now [simp] by default.
  5356 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5357 
  5358 * Refinements to lattice classes and sets:
  5359   - less default intro/elim rules in locale variant, more default
  5360     intro/elim rules in class variant: more uniformity
  5361   - lemma ge_sup_conv renamed to le_sup_iff, in accordance with
  5362     le_inf_iff
  5363   - dropped lemma alias inf_ACI for inf_aci (same for sup_ACI and
  5364     sup_aci)
  5365   - renamed ACI to inf_sup_aci
  5366   - new class "boolean_algebra"
  5367   - class "complete_lattice" moved to separate theory
  5368     "Complete_Lattice"; corresponding constants (and abbreviations)
  5369     renamed and with authentic syntax:
  5370     Set.Inf ~>    Complete_Lattice.Inf
  5371     Set.Sup ~>    Complete_Lattice.Sup
  5372     Set.INFI ~>   Complete_Lattice.INFI
  5373     Set.SUPR ~>   Complete_Lattice.SUPR
  5374     Set.Inter ~>  Complete_Lattice.Inter
  5375     Set.Union ~>  Complete_Lattice.Union
  5376     Set.INTER ~>  Complete_Lattice.INTER
  5377     Set.UNION ~>  Complete_Lattice.UNION
  5378   - authentic syntax for
  5379     Set.Pow
  5380     Set.image
  5381   - mere abbreviations:
  5382     Set.empty               (for bot)
  5383     Set.UNIV                (for top)
  5384     Set.inter               (for inf, formerly Set.Int)
  5385     Set.union               (for sup, formerly Set.Un)
  5386     Complete_Lattice.Inter  (for Inf)
  5387     Complete_Lattice.Union  (for Sup)
  5388     Complete_Lattice.INTER  (for INFI)
  5389     Complete_Lattice.UNION  (for SUPR)
  5390   - object-logic definitions as far as appropriate
  5391 
  5392 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Care is required when theorems Int_subset_iff or
  5393 Un_subset_iff are explicitly deleted as default simp rules; then also
  5394 their lattice counterparts le_inf_iff and le_sup_iff have to be
  5395 deleted to achieve the desired effect.
  5396 
  5397 * Rules inf_absorb1, inf_absorb2, sup_absorb1, sup_absorb2 are no simp
  5398 rules by default any longer; the same applies to min_max.inf_absorb1
  5399 etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5400 
  5401 * Rules sup_Int_eq and sup_Un_eq are no longer declared as
  5402 pred_set_conv by default.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5403 
  5404 * Power operations on relations and functions are now one dedicated
  5405 constant "compow" with infix syntax "^^".  Power operation on
  5406 multiplicative monoids retains syntax "^" and is now defined generic
  5407 in class power.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5408 
  5409 * Relation composition "R O S" now has a more standard argument order:
  5410 "R O S = {(x, z). EX y. (x, y) : R & (y, z) : S}".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  5411 rewrite propositions with "S O R" --> "R O S". Proofs may occasionally
  5412 break, since the O_assoc rule was not rewritten like this.  Fix using
  5413 O_assoc[symmetric].  The same applies to the curried version "R OO S".
  5414 
  5415 * Function "Inv" is renamed to "inv_into" and function "inv" is now an
  5416 abbreviation for "inv_into UNIV".  Lemmas are renamed accordingly.
  5417 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5418 
  5419 * Most rules produced by inductive and datatype package have mandatory
  5420 prefixes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5421 
  5422 * Changed "DERIV_intros" to a dynamic fact, which can be augmented by
  5423 the attribute of the same name.  Each of the theorems in the list
  5424 DERIV_intros assumes composition with an additional function and
  5425 matches a variable to the derivative, which has to be solved by the
  5426 Simplifier.  Hence (auto intro!: DERIV_intros) computes the derivative
  5427 of most elementary terms.  Former Maclauren.DERIV_tac and
  5428 Maclauren.deriv_tac should be replaced by (auto intro!: DERIV_intros).
  5429 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5430 
  5431 * Code generator attributes follow the usual underscore convention:
  5432     code_unfold     replaces    code unfold
  5433     code_post       replaces    code post
  5434     etc.
  5435   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5436 
  5437 * Renamed methods:
  5438     sizechange -> size_change
  5439     induct_scheme -> induction_schema
  5440   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5441 
  5442 * Discontinued abbreviation "arbitrary" of constant "undefined".
  5443 INCOMPATIBILITY, use "undefined" directly.
  5444 
  5445 * Renamed theorems:
  5446     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  5447     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1_left -> Suc_eq_plus1_left
  5448     Suc_plus1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  5449     *anti_sym -> *antisym*
  5450     vector_less_eq_def -> vector_le_def
  5451   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5452 
  5453 * Added theorem List.map_map as [simp].  Removed List.map_compose.
  5454 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5455 
  5456 * Removed predicate "M hassize n" (<--> card M = n & finite M).
  5457 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5458 
  5459 
  5460 *** HOLCF ***
  5461 
  5462 * Theory Representable defines a class "rep" of domains that are
  5463 representable (via an ep-pair) in the universal domain type "udom".
  5464 Instances are provided for all type constructors defined in HOLCF.
  5465 
  5466 * The 'new_domain' command is a purely definitional version of the
  5467 domain package, for representable domains.  Syntax is identical to the
  5468 old domain package.  The 'new_domain' package also supports indirect
  5469 recursion using previously-defined type constructors.  See
  5470 src/HOLCF/ex/New_Domain.thy for examples.
  5471 
  5472 * Method "fixrec_simp" unfolds one step of a fixrec-defined constant
  5473 on the left-hand side of an equation, and then performs
  5474 simplification.  Rewriting is done using rules declared with the
  5475 "fixrec_simp" attribute.  The "fixrec_simp" method is intended as a
  5476 replacement for "fixpat"; see src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples.
  5477 
  5478 * The pattern-match compiler in 'fixrec' can now handle constructors
  5479 with HOL function types.  Pattern-match combinators for the Pair
  5480 constructor are pre-configured.
  5481 
  5482 * The 'fixrec' package now produces better fixed-point induction rules
  5483 for mutually-recursive definitions:  Induction rules have conclusions
  5484 of the form "P foo bar" instead of "P <foo, bar>".
  5485 
  5486 * The constant "sq_le" (with infix syntax "<<" or "\<sqsubseteq>") has
  5487 been renamed to "below".  The name "below" now replaces "less" in many
  5488 theorem names.  (Legacy theorem names using "less" are still supported
  5489 as well.)
  5490 
  5491 * The 'fixrec' package now supports "bottom patterns".  Bottom
  5492 patterns can be used to generate strictness rules, or to make
  5493 functions more strict (much like the bang-patterns supported by the
  5494 Glasgow Haskell Compiler).  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  5495 examples.
  5496 
  5497 
  5498 *** ML ***
  5499 
  5500 * Support for Poly/ML 5.3.0, with improved reporting of compiler
  5501 errors and run-time exceptions, including detailed source positions.
  5502 
  5503 * Structure Name_Space (formerly NameSpace) now manages uniquely
  5504 identified entries, with some additional information such as source
  5505 position, logical grouping etc.
  5506 
  5507 * Theory and context data is now introduced by the simplified and
  5508 modernized functors Theory_Data, Proof_Data, Generic_Data.  Data needs
  5509 to be pure, but the old TheoryDataFun for mutable data (with explicit
  5510 copy operation) is still available for some time.
  5511 
  5512 * Structure Synchronized (cf. src/Pure/Concurrent/synchronized.ML)
  5513 provides a high-level programming interface to synchronized state
  5514 variables with atomic update.  This works via pure function
  5515 application within a critical section -- its runtime should be as
  5516 short as possible; beware of deadlocks if critical code is nested,
  5517 either directly or indirectly via other synchronized variables!
  5518 
  5519 * Structure Unsynchronized (cf. src/Pure/ML-Systems/unsynchronized.ML)
  5520 wraps raw ML references, explicitly indicating their non-thread-safe
  5521 behaviour.  The Isar toplevel keeps this structure open, to
  5522 accommodate Proof General as well as quick and dirty interactive
  5523 experiments with references.
  5524 
  5525 * PARALLEL_CHOICE and PARALLEL_GOALS provide basic support for
  5526 parallel tactical reasoning.
  5527 
  5528 * Tacticals Subgoal.FOCUS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PREMS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PARAMS
  5529 are similar to SUBPROOF, but are slightly more flexible: only the
  5530 specified parts of the subgoal are imported into the context, and the
  5531 body tactic may introduce new subgoals and schematic variables.
  5532 
  5533 * Old tactical METAHYPS, which does not observe the proof context, has
  5534 been renamed to Old_Goals.METAHYPS and awaits deletion.  Use SUBPROOF
  5535 or Subgoal.FOCUS etc.
  5536 
  5537 * Renamed functor TableFun to Table, and GraphFun to Graph.  (Since
  5538 functors have their own ML name space there is no point to mark them
  5539 separately.)  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5540 
  5541 * Renamed NamedThmsFun to Named_Thms.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5542 
  5543 * Renamed several structures FooBar to Foo_Bar.  Occasional,
  5544 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5545 
  5546 * Operations of structure Skip_Proof no longer require quick_and_dirty
  5547 mode, which avoids critical setmp.
  5548 
  5549 * Eliminated old Attrib.add_attributes, Method.add_methods and related
  5550 combinators for "args".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use simplified
  5551 Attrib/Method.setup introduced in Isabelle2009.
  5552 
  5553 * Proper context for simpset_of, claset_of, clasimpset_of.  May fall
  5554 back on global_simpset_of, global_claset_of, global_clasimpset_of as
  5555 last resort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5556 
  5557 * Display.pretty_thm now requires a proper context (cf. former
  5558 ProofContext.pretty_thm).  May fall back on Display.pretty_thm_global
  5559 or even Display.pretty_thm_without_context as last resort.
  5560 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5561 
  5562 * Discontinued Display.pretty_ctyp/cterm etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5563 Syntax.pretty_typ/term directly, preferably with proper context
  5564 instead of global theory.
  5565 
  5566 
  5567 *** System ***
  5568 
  5569 * Further fine tuning of parallel proof checking, scales up to 8 cores
  5570 (max. speedup factor 5.0).  See also Goal.parallel_proofs in ML and
  5571 usedir option -q.
  5572 
  5573 * Support for additional "Isabelle components" via etc/components, see
  5574 also the system manual.
  5575 
  5576 * The isabelle makeall tool now operates on all components with
  5577 IsaMakefile, not just hardwired "logics".
  5578 
  5579 * Removed "compress" option from isabelle-process and isabelle usedir;
  5580 this is always enabled.
  5581 
  5582 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 4.x versions.
  5583 
  5584 * Isabelle tool "wwwfind" provides web interface for 'find_theorems'
  5585 on a given logic image.  This requires the lighttpd webserver and is
  5586 currently supported on Linux only.
  5587 
  5588 
  5589 
  5590 New in Isabelle2009 (April 2009)
  5591 --------------------------------
  5592 
  5593 *** General ***
  5594 
  5595 * Simplified main Isabelle executables, with less surprises on
  5596 case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  5597 
  5598   - The main Isabelle tool wrapper is now called "isabelle" instead of
  5599     "isatool."
  5600 
  5601   - The former "isabelle" alias for "isabelle-process" has been
  5602     removed (should rarely occur to regular users).
  5603 
  5604   - The former "isabelle-interface" and its alias "Isabelle" have been
  5605     removed (interfaces are now regular Isabelle tools).
  5606 
  5607 Within scripts and make files, the Isabelle environment variables
  5608 ISABELLE_TOOL and ISABELLE_PROCESS replace old ISATOOL and ISABELLE,
  5609 respectively.  (The latter are still available as legacy feature.)
  5610 
  5611 The old isabelle-interface wrapper could react in confusing ways if
  5612 the interface was uninstalled or changed otherwise.  Individual
  5613 interface tool configuration is now more explicit, see also the
  5614 Isabelle system manual.  In particular, Proof General is now available
  5615 via "isabelle emacs".
  5616 
  5617 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt derivative scripts.  Users may need to
  5618 purge installed copies of Isabelle executables and re-run "isabelle
  5619 install -p ...", or use symlinks.
  5620 
  5621 * The default for ISABELLE_HOME_USER is now ~/.isabelle instead of the
  5622 old ~/isabelle, which was slightly non-standard and apt to cause
  5623 surprises on case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  5624 
  5625 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to move existing ~/isabelle/etc,
  5626 ~/isabelle/heaps, ~/isabelle/browser_info to the new place.  Special
  5627 care is required when using older releases of Isabelle.  Note that
  5628 ISABELLE_HOME_USER can be changed in Isabelle/etc/settings of any
  5629 Isabelle distribution, in order to use the new ~/.isabelle uniformly.
  5630 
  5631 * Proofs of fully specified statements are run in parallel on
  5632 multi-core systems.  A speedup factor of 2.5 to 3.2 can be expected on
  5633 a regular 4-core machine, if the initial heap space is made reasonably
  5634 large (cf. Poly/ML option -H).  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  5635 
  5636 * The main reference manuals ("isar-ref", "implementation", and
  5637 "system") have been updated and extended.  Formally checked references
  5638 as hyperlinks are now available uniformly.
  5639 
  5640 
  5641 *** Pure ***
  5642 
  5643 * Complete re-implementation of locales.  INCOMPATIBILITY in several
  5644 respects.  The most important changes are listed below.  See the
  5645 Tutorial on Locales ("locales" manual) for details.
  5646 
  5647 - In locale expressions, instantiation replaces renaming.  Parameters
  5648 must be declared in a for clause.  To aid compatibility with previous
  5649 parameter inheritance, in locale declarations, parameters that are not
  5650 'touched' (instantiation position "_" or omitted) are implicitly added
  5651 with their syntax at the beginning of the for clause.
  5652 
  5653 - Syntax from abbreviations and definitions in locales is available in
  5654 locale expressions and context elements.  The latter is particularly
  5655 useful in locale declarations.
  5656 
  5657 - More flexible mechanisms to qualify names generated by locale
  5658 expressions.  Qualifiers (prefixes) may be specified in locale
  5659 expressions, and can be marked as mandatory (syntax: "name!:") or
  5660 optional (syntax "name?:").  The default depends for plain "name:"
  5661 depends on the situation where a locale expression is used: in
  5662 commands 'locale' and 'sublocale' prefixes are optional, in
  5663 'interpretation' and 'interpret' prefixes are mandatory.  The old
  5664 implicit qualifiers derived from the parameter names of a locale are
  5665 no longer generated.
  5666 
  5667 - Command "sublocale l < e" replaces "interpretation l < e".  The
  5668 instantiation clause in "interpretation" and "interpret" (square
  5669 brackets) is no longer available.  Use locale expressions.
  5670 
  5671 - When converting proof scripts, mandatory qualifiers in
  5672 'interpretation' and 'interpret' should be retained by default, even
  5673 if this is an INCOMPATIBILITY compared to former behavior.  In the
  5674 worst case, use the "name?:" form for non-mandatory ones.  Qualifiers
  5675 in locale expressions range over a single locale instance only.
  5676 
  5677 - Dropped locale element "includes".  This is a major INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5678 In existing theorem specifications replace the includes element by the
  5679 respective context elements of the included locale, omitting those
  5680 that are already present in the theorem specification.  Multiple
  5681 assume elements of a locale should be replaced by a single one
  5682 involving the locale predicate.  In the proof body, declarations (most
  5683 notably theorems) may be regained by interpreting the respective
  5684 locales in the proof context as required (command "interpret").
  5685 
  5686 If using "includes" in replacement of a target solely because the
  5687 parameter types in the theorem are not as general as in the target,
  5688 consider declaring a new locale with additional type constraints on
  5689 the parameters (context element "constrains").
  5690 
  5691 - Discontinued "locale (open)".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5692 
  5693 - Locale interpretation commands no longer attempt to simplify goal.
  5694 INCOMPATIBILITY: in rare situations the generated goal differs.  Use
  5695 methods intro_locales and unfold_locales to clarify.
  5696 
  5697 - Locale interpretation commands no longer accept interpretation
  5698 attributes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5699 
  5700 * Class declaration: so-called "base sort" must not be given in import
  5701 list any longer, but is inferred from the specification.  Particularly
  5702 in HOL, write
  5703 
  5704     class foo = ...
  5705 
  5706 instead of
  5707 
  5708     class foo = type + ...
  5709 
  5710 * Class target: global versions of theorems stemming do not carry a
  5711 parameter prefix any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5712 
  5713 * Class 'instance' command no longer accepts attached definitions.
  5714 INCOMPATIBILITY, use proper 'instantiation' target instead.
  5715 
  5716 * Recovered hiding of consts, which was accidentally broken in
  5717 Isabelle2007.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, ``hide const c'' really
  5718 makes c inaccessible; consider using ``hide (open) const c'' instead.
  5719 
  5720 * Slightly more coherent Pure syntax, with updated documentation in
  5721 isar-ref manual.  Removed locales meta_term_syntax and
  5722 meta_conjunction_syntax: TERM and &&& (formerly &&) are now permanent,
  5723 INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations.  Note that &&& should not be used
  5724 directly in regular applications.
  5725 
  5726 * There is a new syntactic category "float_const" for signed decimal
  5727 fractions (e.g. 123.45 or -123.45).
  5728 
  5729 * Removed exotic 'token_translation' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML
  5730 interface with 'setup' command instead.
  5731 
  5732 * Command 'local_setup' is similar to 'setup', but operates on a local
  5733 theory context.
  5734 
  5735 * The 'axiomatization' command now only works within a global theory
  5736 context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5737 
  5738 * Goal-directed proof now enforces strict proof irrelevance wrt. sort
  5739 hypotheses.  Sorts required in the course of reasoning need to be
  5740 covered by the constraints in the initial statement, completed by the
  5741 type instance information of the background theory.  Non-trivial sort
  5742 hypotheses, which rarely occur in practice, may be specified via
  5743 vacuous propositions of the form SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::c).  For example:
  5744 
  5745   lemma assumes "SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::empty)" shows False ...
  5746 
  5747 The result contains an implicit sort hypotheses as before --
  5748 SORT_CONSTRAINT premises are eliminated as part of the canonical rule
  5749 normalization.
  5750 
  5751 * Generalized Isar history, with support for linear undo, direct state
  5752 addressing etc.
  5753 
  5754 * Changed defaults for unify configuration options:
  5755 
  5756   unify_trace_bound = 50 (formerly 25)
  5757   unify_search_bound = 60 (formerly 30)
  5758 
  5759 * Different bookkeeping for code equations (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  5760 
  5761   a) On theory merge, the last set of code equations for a particular
  5762      constant is taken (in accordance with the policy applied by other
  5763      parts of the code generator framework).
  5764 
  5765   b) Code equations stemming from explicit declarations (e.g. code
  5766      attribute) gain priority over default code equations stemming
  5767      from definition, primrec, fun etc.
  5768 
  5769 * Keyword 'code_exception' now named 'code_abort'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5770 
  5771 * Unified theorem tables for both code generators.  Thus [code
  5772 func] has disappeared and only [code] remains.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5773 
  5774 * Command 'find_consts' searches for constants based on type and name
  5775 patterns, e.g.
  5776 
  5777     find_consts "_ => bool"
  5778 
  5779 By default, matching is against subtypes, but it may be restricted to
  5780 the whole type.  Searching by name is possible.  Multiple queries are
  5781 conjunctive and queries may be negated by prefixing them with a
  5782 hyphen:
  5783 
  5784     find_consts strict: "_ => bool" name: "Int" -"int => int"
  5785 
  5786 * New 'find_theorems' criterion "solves" matches theorems that
  5787 directly solve the current goal (modulo higher-order unification).
  5788 
  5789 * Auto solve feature for main theorem statements: whenever a new goal
  5790 is stated, "find_theorems solves" is called; any theorems that could
  5791 solve the lemma directly are listed as part of the goal state.
  5792 Cf. associated options in Proof General Isabelle settings menu,
  5793 enabled by default, with reasonable timeout for pathological cases of
  5794 higher-order unification.
  5795 
  5796 
  5797 *** Document preparation ***
  5798 
  5799 * Antiquotation @{lemma} now imitates a regular terminal proof,
  5800 demanding keyword 'by' and supporting the full method expression
  5801 syntax just like the Isar command 'by'.
  5802 
  5803 
  5804 *** HOL ***
  5805 
  5806 * Integrated main parts of former image HOL-Complex with HOL.  Entry
  5807 points Main and Complex_Main remain as before.
  5808 
  5809 * Logic image HOL-Plain provides a minimal HOL with the most important
  5810 tools available (inductive, datatype, primrec, ...).  This facilitates
  5811 experimentation and tool development.  Note that user applications
  5812 (and library theories) should never refer to anything below theory
  5813 Main, as before.
  5814 
  5815 * Logic image HOL-Main stops at theory Main, and thus facilitates
  5816 experimentation due to shorter build times.
  5817 
  5818 * Logic image HOL-NSA contains theories of nonstandard analysis which
  5819 were previously part of former HOL-Complex.  Entry point Hyperreal
  5820 remains valid, but theories formerly using Complex_Main should now use
  5821 new entry point Hypercomplex.
  5822 
  5823 * Generic ATP manager for Sledgehammer, based on ML threads instead of
  5824 Posix processes.  Avoids potentially expensive forking of the ML
  5825 process.  New thread-based implementation also works on non-Unix
  5826 platforms (Cygwin).  Provers are no longer hardwired, but defined
  5827 within the theory via plain ML wrapper functions.  Basic Sledgehammer
  5828 commands are covered in the isar-ref manual.
  5829 
  5830 * Wrapper scripts for remote SystemOnTPTP service allows to use
  5831 sledgehammer without local ATP installation (Vampire etc.). Other
  5832 provers may be included via suitable ML wrappers, see also
  5833 src/HOL/ATP_Linkup.thy.
  5834 
  5835 * ATP selection (E/Vampire/Spass) is now via Proof General's settings
  5836 menu.
  5837 
  5838 * The metis method no longer fails because the theorem is too trivial
  5839 (contains the empty clause).
  5840 
  5841 * The metis method now fails in the usual manner, rather than raising
  5842 an exception, if it determines that it cannot prove the theorem.
  5843 
  5844 * Method "coherent" implements a prover for coherent logic (see also
  5845 src/Tools/coherent.ML).
  5846 
  5847 * Constants "undefined" and "default" replace "arbitrary".  Usually
  5848 "undefined" is the right choice to replace "arbitrary", though
  5849 logically there is no difference.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5850 
  5851 * Command "value" now integrates different evaluation mechanisms.  The
  5852 result of the first successful evaluation mechanism is printed.  In
  5853 square brackets a particular named evaluation mechanisms may be
  5854 specified (currently, [SML], [code] or [nbe]).  See further
  5855 src/HOL/ex/Eval_Examples.thy.
  5856 
  5857 * Normalization by evaluation now allows non-leftlinear equations.
  5858 Declare with attribute [code nbe].
  5859 
  5860 * Methods "case_tac" and "induct_tac" now refer to the very same rules
  5861 as the structured Isar versions "cases" and "induct", cf. the
  5862 corresponding "cases" and "induct" attributes.  Mutual induction rules
  5863 are now presented as a list of individual projections
  5864 (e.g. foo_bar.inducts for types foo and bar); the old format with
  5865 explicit HOL conjunction is no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  5866 rare situations a different rule is selected --- notably nested tuple
  5867 elimination instead of former prod.exhaust: use explicit (case_tac t
  5868 rule: prod.exhaust) here.
  5869 
  5870 * Attributes "cases", "induct", "coinduct" support "del" option.
  5871 
  5872 * Removed fact "case_split_thm", which duplicates "case_split".
  5873 
  5874 * The option datatype has been moved to a new theory Option.  Renamed
  5875 option_map to Option.map, and o2s to Option.set, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5876 
  5877 * New predicate "strict_mono" classifies strict functions on partial
  5878 orders.  With strict functions on linear orders, reasoning about
  5879 (in)equalities is facilitated by theorems "strict_mono_eq",
  5880 "strict_mono_less_eq" and "strict_mono_less".
  5881 
  5882 * Some set operations are now proper qualified constants with
  5883 authentic syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5884 
  5885     op Int ~>   Set.Int
  5886     op Un ~>    Set.Un
  5887     INTER ~>    Set.INTER
  5888     UNION ~>    Set.UNION
  5889     Inter ~>    Set.Inter
  5890     Union ~>    Set.Union
  5891     {} ~>       Set.empty
  5892     UNIV ~>     Set.UNIV
  5893 
  5894 * Class complete_lattice with operations Inf, Sup, INFI, SUPR now in
  5895 theory Set.
  5896 
  5897 * Auxiliary class "itself" has disappeared -- classes without any
  5898 parameter are treated as expected by the 'class' command.
  5899 
  5900 * Leibnitz's Series for Pi and the arcus tangens and logarithm series.
  5901 
  5902 * Common decision procedures (Cooper, MIR, Ferrack, Approximation,
  5903 Dense_Linear_Order) are now in directory HOL/Decision_Procs.
  5904 
  5905 * Theory src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation provides the new proof
  5906 method "approximation".  It proves formulas on real values by using
  5907 interval arithmetic.  In the formulas are also the transcendental
  5908 functions sin, cos, tan, atan, ln, exp and the constant pi are
  5909 allowed. For examples see
  5910 src/HOL/Descision_Procs/ex/Approximation_Ex.thy.
  5911 
  5912 * Theory "Reflection" now resides in HOL/Library.
  5913 
  5914 * Entry point to Word library now simply named "Word".
  5915 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5916 
  5917 * Made source layout more coherent with logical distribution
  5918 structure:

  5971 
  5972 * If methods "eval" and "evaluation" encounter a structured proof
  5973 state with !!/==>, only the conclusion is evaluated to True (if
  5974 possible), avoiding strange error messages.
  5975 
  5976 * Method "sizechange" automates termination proofs using (a
  5977 modification of) the size-change principle.  Requires SAT solver.  See
  5978 src/HOL/ex/Termination.thy for examples.
  5979 
  5980 * Simplifier: simproc for let expressions now unfolds if bound
  5981 variable occurs at most once in let expression body.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5982 
  5983 * Method "arith": Linear arithmetic now ignores all inequalities when
  5984 fast_arith_neq_limit is exceeded, instead of giving up entirely.
  5985 
  5986 * New attribute "arith" for facts that should always be used
  5987 automatically by arithmetic. It is intended to be used locally in
  5988 proofs, e.g.
  5989 
  5990   assumes [arith]: "x > 0"
  5991 
  5992 Global usage is discouraged because of possible performance impact.
  5993 
  5994 * New classes "top" and "bot" with corresponding operations "top" and
  5995 "bot" in theory Orderings; instantiation of class "complete_lattice"
  5996 requires instantiation of classes "top" and "bot".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5997 
  5998 * Changed definition lemma "less_fun_def" in order to provide an
  5999 instance for preorders on functions; use lemma "less_le" instead.
  6000 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6001 
  6002 * Theory Orderings: class "wellorder" moved here, with explicit
  6003 induction rule "less_induct" as assumption.  For instantiation of
  6004 "wellorder" by means of predicate "wf", use rule wf_wellorderI.
  6005 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6006 
  6007 * Theory Orderings: added class "preorder" as superclass of "order".
  6008 INCOMPATIBILITY: Instantiation proofs for order, linorder
  6009 etc. slightly changed.  Some theorems named order_class.* now named
  6010 preorder_class.*.
  6011 
  6012 * Theory Relation: renamed "refl" to "refl_on", "reflexive" to "refl,
  6013 "diag" to "Id_on".
  6014 
  6015 * Theory Finite_Set: added a new fold combinator of type
  6016 
  6017   ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  6018 
  6019 Occasionally this is more convenient than the old fold combinator
  6020 which is now defined in terms of the new one and renamed to
  6021 fold_image.
  6022 
  6023 * Theories Ring_and_Field and OrderedGroup: The lemmas "group_simps"
  6024 and "ring_simps" have been replaced by "algebra_simps" (which can be
  6025 extended with further lemmas!).  At the moment both still exist but
  6026 the former will disappear at some point.
  6027 
  6028 * Theory Power: Lemma power_Suc is now declared as a simp rule in
  6029 class recpower.  Type-specific simp rules for various recpower types
  6030 have been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, rename old lemmas as follows:
  6031 
  6032 rat_power_0    -> power_0
  6033 rat_power_Suc  -> power_Suc
  6034 realpow_0      -> power_0
  6035 realpow_Suc    -> power_Suc
  6036 complexpow_0   -> power_0
  6037 complexpow_Suc -> power_Suc
  6038 power_poly_0   -> power_0
  6039 power_poly_Suc -> power_Suc
  6040 
  6041 * Theories Ring_and_Field and Divides: Definition of "op dvd" has been
  6042 moved to separate class dvd in Ring_and_Field; a couple of lemmas on
  6043 dvd has been generalized to class comm_semiring_1.  Likewise a bunch
  6044 of lemmas from Divides has been generalized from nat to class
  6045 semiring_div.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  This involves the following theorem
  6046 renames resulting from duplicate elimination:
  6047 
  6048     dvd_def_mod ~>          dvd_eq_mod_eq_0
  6049     zero_dvd_iff ~>         dvd_0_left_iff
  6050     dvd_0 ~>                dvd_0_right
  6051     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_DIV ~> div_by_0
  6052     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_MOD ~> mod_by_0
  6053     mult_div ~>             div_mult_self2_is_id
  6054     mult_mod ~>             mod_mult_self2_is_0
  6055 
  6056 * Theory IntDiv: removed many lemmas that are instances of class-based
  6057 generalizations (from Divides and Ring_and_Field).  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  6058 rename old lemmas as follows:
  6059 
  6060 dvd_diff               -> nat_dvd_diff
  6061 dvd_zminus_iff         -> dvd_minus_iff
  6062 mod_add1_eq            -> mod_add_eq
  6063 mod_mult1_eq           -> mod_mult_right_eq
  6064 mod_mult1_eq'          -> mod_mult_left_eq
  6065 mod_mult_distrib_mod   -> mod_mult_eq
  6066 nat_mod_add_left_eq    -> mod_add_left_eq
  6067 nat_mod_add_right_eq   -> mod_add_right_eq
  6068 nat_mod_div_trivial    -> mod_div_trivial
  6069 nat_mod_mod_trivial    -> mod_mod_trivial
  6070 zdiv_zadd_self1        -> div_add_self1
  6071 zdiv_zadd_self2        -> div_add_self2
  6072 zdiv_zmult_self1       -> div_mult_self2_is_id
  6073 zdiv_zmult_self2       -> div_mult_self1_is_id
  6074 zdvd_triv_left         -> dvd_triv_left
  6075 zdvd_triv_right        -> dvd_triv_right
  6076 zdvd_zmult_cancel_disj -> dvd_mult_cancel_left
  6077 zmod_eq0_zdvd_iff      -> dvd_eq_mod_eq_0[symmetric]
  6078 zmod_zadd_left_eq      -> mod_add_left_eq
  6079 zmod_zadd_right_eq     -> mod_add_right_eq
  6080 zmod_zadd_self1        -> mod_add_self1
  6081 zmod_zadd_self2        -> mod_add_self2
  6082 zmod_zadd1_eq          -> mod_add_eq
  6083 zmod_zdiff1_eq         -> mod_diff_eq
  6084 zmod_zdvd_zmod         -> mod_mod_cancel
  6085 zmod_zmod_cancel       -> mod_mod_cancel
  6086 zmod_zmult_self1       -> mod_mult_self2_is_0
  6087 zmod_zmult_self2       -> mod_mult_self1_is_0
  6088 zmod_1                 -> mod_by_1
  6089 zdiv_1                 -> div_by_1
  6090 zdvd_abs1              -> abs_dvd_iff
  6091 zdvd_abs2              -> dvd_abs_iff
  6092 zdvd_refl              -> dvd_refl
  6093 zdvd_trans             -> dvd_trans
  6094 zdvd_zadd              -> dvd_add
  6095 zdvd_zdiff             -> dvd_diff
  6096 zdvd_zminus_iff        -> dvd_minus_iff
  6097 zdvd_zminus2_iff       -> minus_dvd_iff
  6098 zdvd_zmultD            -> dvd_mult_right
  6099 zdvd_zmultD2           -> dvd_mult_left
  6100 zdvd_zmult_mono        -> mult_dvd_mono
  6101 zdvd_0_right           -> dvd_0_right
  6102 zdvd_0_left            -> dvd_0_left_iff
  6103 zdvd_1_left            -> one_dvd
  6104 zminus_dvd_iff         -> minus_dvd_iff
  6105 
  6106 * Theory Rational: 'Fract k 0' now equals '0'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6107 
  6108 * The real numbers offer decimal input syntax: 12.34 is translated
  6109 into 1234/10^2. This translation is not reversed upon output.
  6110 
  6111 * Theory Library/Polynomial defines an abstract type 'a poly of
  6112 univariate polynomials with coefficients of type 'a.  In addition to
  6113 the standard ring operations, it also supports div and mod.  Code
  6114 generation is also supported, using list-style constructors.
  6115 
  6116 * Theory Library/Inner_Product defines a class of real_inner for real
  6117 inner product spaces, with an overloaded operation inner :: 'a => 'a
  6118 => real.  Class real_inner is a subclass of real_normed_vector from
  6119 theory RealVector.
  6120 
  6121 * Theory Library/Product_Vector provides instances for the product
  6122 type 'a * 'b of several classes from RealVector and Inner_Product.
  6123 Definitions of addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, norms,
  6124 and inner products are included.
  6125 
  6126 * Theory Library/Bit defines the field "bit" of integers modulo 2.  In
  6127 addition to the field operations, numerals and case syntax are also
  6128 supported.
  6129 
  6130 * Theory Library/Diagonalize provides constructive version of Cantor's
  6131 first diagonalization argument.
  6132 
  6133 * Theory Library/GCD: Curried operations gcd, lcm (for nat) and zgcd,
  6134 zlcm (for int); carried together from various gcd/lcm developements in
  6135 the HOL Distribution.  Constants zgcd and zlcm replace former igcd and
  6136 ilcm; corresponding theorems renamed accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  6137 may recover tupled syntax as follows:
  6138 
  6139     hide (open) const gcd
  6140     abbreviation gcd where
  6141       "gcd == (%(a, b). GCD.gcd a b)"
  6142     notation (output)
  6143       GCD.gcd ("gcd '(_, _')")
  6144 
  6145 The same works for lcm, zgcd, zlcm.
  6146 
  6147 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity: added addition, numeral syntax and more
  6148 instantiations for algebraic structures.  Removed some duplicate
  6149 theorems.  Changes in simp rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6150 
  6151 * ML antiquotation @{code} takes a constant as argument and generates
  6152 corresponding code in background and inserts name of the corresponding
  6153 resulting ML value/function/datatype constructor binding in place.
  6154 All occurrences of @{code} with a single ML block are generated
  6155 simultaneously.  Provides a generic and safe interface for
  6156 instrumentalizing code generation.  See
  6157 src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Ferrack.thy for a more ambitious application.
  6158 In future you ought to refrain from ad-hoc compiling generated SML
  6159 code on the ML toplevel.  Note that (for technical reasons) @{code}
  6160 cannot refer to constants for which user-defined serializations are
  6161 set.  Refer to the corresponding ML counterpart directly in that
  6162 cases.
  6163 
  6164 * Command 'rep_datatype': instead of theorem names the command now
  6165 takes a list of terms denoting the constructors of the type to be
  6166 represented as datatype.  The characteristic theorems have to be
  6167 proven.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Also observe that the following theorems
  6168 have disappeared in favour of existing ones:
  6169 
  6170     unit_induct                 ~> unit.induct
  6171     prod_induct                 ~> prod.induct
  6172     sum_induct                  ~> sum.induct
  6173     Suc_Suc_eq                  ~> nat.inject
  6174     Suc_not_Zero Zero_not_Suc   ~> nat.distinct
  6175 
  6176 
  6177 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  6178 
  6179 * New locales for orders and lattices where the equivalence relation
  6180 is not restricted to equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY: all order and lattice
  6181 locales use a record structure with field eq for the equivalence.
  6182 
  6183 * New theory of factorial domains.
  6184 
  6185 * Units_l_inv and Units_r_inv are now simp rules by default.
  6186 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Simplifier proof that require deletion of l_inv
  6187 and/or r_inv will now also require deletion of these lemmas.
  6188 
  6189 * Renamed the following theorems, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6190 
  6191 UpperD ~> Upper_memD
  6192 LowerD ~> Lower_memD
  6193 least_carrier ~> least_closed
  6194 greatest_carrier ~> greatest_closed
  6195 greatest_Lower_above ~> greatest_Lower_below
  6196 one_zero ~> carrier_one_zero
  6197 one_not_zero ~> carrier_one_not_zero  (collision with assumption)
  6198 
  6199 
  6200 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  6201 
  6202 * Nominal datatypes can now contain type-variables.
  6203 
  6204 * Commands 'nominal_inductive' and 'equivariance' work with local
  6205 theory targets.
  6206 
  6207 * Nominal primrec can now works with local theory targets and its
  6208 specification syntax now conforms to the general format as seen in
  6209 'inductive' etc.
  6210 
  6211 * Method "perm_simp" honours the standard simplifier attributes
  6212 (no_asm), (no_asm_use) etc.
  6213 
  6214 * The new predicate #* is defined like freshness, except that on the
  6215 left hand side can be a set or list of atoms.
  6216 
  6217 * Experimental command 'nominal_inductive2' derives strong induction
  6218 principles for inductive definitions.  In contrast to
  6219 'nominal_inductive', which can only deal with a fixed number of
  6220 binders, it can deal with arbitrary expressions standing for sets of
  6221 atoms to be avoided.  The only inductive definition we have at the
  6222 moment that needs this generalisation is the typing rule for Lets in
  6223 the algorithm W:
  6224 
  6225  Gamma |- t1 : T1   (x,close Gamma T1)::Gamma |- t2 : T2   x#Gamma
  6226  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  6227          Gamma |- Let x be t1 in t2 : T2
  6228 
  6229 In this rule one wants to avoid all the binders that are introduced by
  6230 "close Gamma T1".  We are looking for other examples where this
  6231 feature might be useful.  Please let us know.
  6232 
  6233 
  6234 *** HOLCF ***
  6235 
  6236 * Reimplemented the simplification procedure for proving continuity
  6237 subgoals.  The new simproc is extensible; users can declare additional
  6238 continuity introduction rules with the attribute [cont2cont].
  6239 
  6240 * The continuity simproc now uses a different introduction rule for
  6241 solving continuity subgoals on terms with lambda abstractions.  In
  6242 some rare cases the new simproc may fail to solve subgoals that the
  6243 old one could solve, and "simp add: cont2cont_LAM" may be necessary.
  6244 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6245 
  6246 * Command 'fixrec': specification syntax now conforms to the general
  6247 format as seen in 'inductive' etc.  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  6248 examples.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6249 
  6250 
  6251 *** ZF ***
  6252 
  6253 * Proof of Zorn's Lemma for partial orders.
  6254 
  6255 
  6256 *** ML ***
  6257 
  6258 * Multithreading for Poly/ML 5.1/5.2 is no longer supported, only for
  6259 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.  Important note: the TimeLimit facility
  6260 depends on multithreading, so timouts will not work before Poly/ML
  6261 5.2.1!
  6262 
  6263 * High-level support for concurrent ML programming, see
  6264 src/Pure/Cuncurrent.  The data-oriented model of "future values" is
  6265 particularly convenient to organize independent functional
  6266 computations.  The concept of "synchronized variables" provides a
  6267 higher-order interface for components with shared state, avoiding the
  6268 delicate details of mutexes and condition variables.  (Requires
  6269 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  6270 
  6271 * ML bindings produced via Isar commands are stored within the Isar
  6272 context (theory or proof).  Consequently, commands like 'use' and 'ML'
  6273 become thread-safe and work with undo as expected (concerning
  6274 top-level bindings, not side-effects on global references).
  6275 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to provide proper Isar context when invoking the
  6276 compiler at runtime; really global bindings need to be given outside a
  6277 theory.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  6278 
  6279 * Command 'ML_prf' is analogous to 'ML' but works within a proof
  6280 context.  Top-level ML bindings are stored within the proof context in
  6281 a purely sequential fashion, disregarding the nested proof structure.
  6282 ML bindings introduced by 'ML_prf' are discarded at the end of the
  6283 proof.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  6284 
  6285 * Simplified ML attribute and method setup, cf. functions Attrib.setup
  6286 and Method.setup, as well as Isar commands 'attribute_setup' and
  6287 'method_setup'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for 'method_setup', need to simplify
  6288 existing code accordingly, or use plain 'setup' together with old
  6289 Method.add_method.
  6290 
  6291 * Simplified ML oracle interface Thm.add_oracle promotes 'a -> cterm
  6292 to 'a -> thm, while results are always tagged with an authentic oracle
  6293 name.  The Isar command 'oracle' is now polymorphic, no argument type
  6294 is specified.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify existing oracle code
  6295 accordingly.  Note that extra performance may be gained by producing
  6296 the cterm carefully, avoiding slow Thm.cterm_of.
  6297 
  6298 * Simplified interface for defining document antiquotations via
  6299 ThyOutput.antiquotation, ThyOutput.output, and optionally
  6300 ThyOutput.maybe_pretty_source.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify user
  6301 antiquotations accordingly, see src/Pure/Thy/thy_output.ML for common
  6302 examples.
  6303 
  6304 * More systematic treatment of long names, abstract name bindings, and
  6305 name space operations.  Basic operations on qualified names have been
  6306 move from structure NameSpace to Long_Name, e.g. Long_Name.base_name,
  6307 Long_Name.append.  Old type bstring has been mostly replaced by
  6308 abstract type binding (see structure Binding), which supports precise
  6309 qualification by packages and local theory targets, as well as proper
  6310 tracking of source positions.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to wrap old
  6311 bstring values into Binding.name, or better pass through abstract
  6312 bindings everywhere.  See further src/Pure/General/long_name.ML,
  6313 src/Pure/General/binding.ML and src/Pure/General/name_space.ML
  6314 
  6315 * Result facts (from PureThy.note_thms, ProofContext.note_thms,
  6316 LocalTheory.note etc.) now refer to the *full* internal name, not the
  6317 bstring as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY, not detected by ML type-checking!
  6318 
  6319 * Disposed old type and term read functions (Sign.read_def_typ,
  6320 Sign.read_typ, Sign.read_def_terms, Sign.read_term,
  6321 Thm.read_def_cterms, Thm.read_cterm etc.).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should
  6322 use regular Syntax.read_typ, Syntax.read_term, Syntax.read_typ_global,
  6323 Syntax.read_term_global etc.; see also OldGoals.read_term as last
  6324 resort for legacy applications.
  6325 
  6326 * Disposed old declarations, tactics, tactic combinators that refer to
  6327 the simpset or claset of an implicit theory (such as Addsimps,
  6328 Simp_tac, SIMPSET).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should use @{simpset} etc. in
  6329 embedded ML text, or local_simpset_of with a proper context passed as
  6330 explicit runtime argument.
  6331 
  6332 * Rules and tactics that read instantiations (read_instantiate,
  6333 res_inst_tac, thin_tac, subgoal_tac etc.) now demand a proper proof
  6334 context, which is required for parsing and type-checking.  Moreover,
  6335 the variables are specified as plain indexnames, not string encodings
  6336 thereof.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6337 
  6338 * Generic Toplevel.add_hook interface allows to analyze the result of
  6339 transactions.  E.g. see src/Pure/ProofGeneral/proof_general_pgip.ML
  6340 for theorem dependency output of transactions resulting in a new
  6341 theory state.
  6342 
  6343 * ML antiquotations: block-structured compilation context indicated by
  6344 \<lbrace> ... \<rbrace>; additional antiquotation forms:
  6345 
  6346   @{binding name}                         - basic name binding
  6347   @{let ?pat = term}                      - term abbreviation (HO matching)
  6348   @{note name = fact}                     - fact abbreviation
  6349   @{thm fact}                             - singleton fact (with attributes)
  6350   @{thms fact}                            - general fact (with attributes)
  6351   @{lemma prop by method}                 - singleton goal
  6352   @{lemma prop by meth1 meth2}            - singleton goal
  6353   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by method}      - general goal
  6354   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by meth1 meth2} - general goal
  6355   @{lemma (open) ...}                     - open derivation
  6356 
  6357 
  6358 *** System ***
  6359 
  6360 * The Isabelle "emacs" tool provides a specific interface to invoke
  6361 Proof General / Emacs, with more explicit failure if that is not
  6362 installed (the old isabelle-interface script silently falls back on
  6363 isabelle-process).  The PROOFGENERAL_HOME setting determines the
  6364 installation location of the Proof General distribution.
  6365 
  6366 * Isabelle/lib/classes/Pure.jar provides basic support to integrate
  6367 the Isabelle process into a JVM/Scala application.  See
  6368 Isabelle/lib/jedit/plugin for a minimal example.  (The obsolete Java
  6369 process wrapper has been discontinued.)
  6370 
  6371 * Added homegrown Isabelle font with unicode layout, see lib/fonts.
  6372 
  6373 * Various status messages (with exact source position information) are
  6374 emitted, if proper markup print mode is enabled.  This allows
  6375 user-interface components to provide detailed feedback on internal
  6376 prover operations.
  6377 
  6378 
  6379 
  6380 New in Isabelle2008 (June 2008)
  6381 -------------------------------
  6382 
  6383 *** General ***
  6384 
  6385 * The Isabelle/Isar Reference Manual (isar-ref) has been reorganized
  6386 and updated, with formally checked references as hyperlinks.
  6387 
  6388 * Theory loader: use_thy (and similar operations) no longer set the
  6389 implicit ML context, which was occasionally hard to predict and in
  6390 conflict with concurrency.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML within Isar which
  6391 provides a proper context already.
  6392 
  6393 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  6394 file are no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, regular 'uses' and
  6395 'use' within a theory file will do the job.
  6396 
  6397 * Name space merge now observes canonical order, i.e. the second space
  6398 is inserted into the first one, while existing entries in the first
  6399 space take precedence.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, may try to
  6400 swap theory imports.
  6401 
  6402 * Syntax: symbol \<chi> is now considered a letter.  Potential
  6403 INCOMPATIBILITY in identifier syntax etc.
  6404 
  6405 * Outer syntax: string tokens no longer admit escaped white space,
  6406 which was an accidental (undocumented) feature.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  6407 white space without escapes.
  6408 
  6409 * Outer syntax: string tokens may contain arbitrary character codes
  6410 specified via 3 decimal digits (as in SML).  E.g. "foo\095bar" for
  6411 "foo_bar".
  6412 
  6413 
  6414 *** Pure ***
  6415 
  6416 * Context-dependent token translations.  Default setup reverts locally
  6417 fixed variables, and adds hilite markup for undeclared frees.
  6418 
  6419 * Unused theorems can be found using the new command 'unused_thms'.
  6420 There are three ways of invoking it:
  6421 
  6422 (1) unused_thms
  6423      Only finds unused theorems in the current theory.
  6424 
  6425 (2) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n -
  6426      Finds unused theorems in the current theory and all of its ancestors,
  6427      excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of their ancestors.
  6428 
  6429 (3) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n - thy'_1 ... thy'_m
  6430      Finds unused theorems in the theories thy'_1 ... thy'_m and all of
  6431      their ancestors, excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of
  6432      their ancestors.
  6433 
  6434 In order to increase the readability of the list produced by
  6435 unused_thms, theorems that have been created by a particular instance
  6436 of a theory command such as 'inductive' or 'function' are considered
  6437 to belong to the same "group", meaning that if at least one theorem in
  6438 this group is used, the other theorems in the same group are no longer
  6439 reported as unused.  Moreover, if all theorems in the group are
  6440 unused, only one theorem in the group is displayed.
  6441 
  6442 Note that proof objects have to be switched on in order for
  6443 unused_thms to work properly (i.e. !proofs must be >= 1, which is
  6444 usually the case when using Proof General with the default settings).
  6445 
  6446 * Authentic naming of facts disallows ad-hoc overwriting of previous
  6447 theorems within the same name space.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to remove
  6448 duplicate fact bindings, or even accidental fact duplications.  Note
  6449 that tools may maintain dynamically scoped facts systematically, using
  6450 PureThy.add_thms_dynamic.
  6451 
  6452 * Command 'hide' now allows to hide from "fact" name space as well.
  6453 
  6454 * Eliminated destructive theorem database, simpset, claset, and
  6455 clasimpset.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, really need to observe linear
  6456 update of theories within ML code.
  6457 
  6458 * Eliminated theory ProtoPure and CPure, leaving just one Pure theory.
  6459 INCOMPATIBILITY, object-logics depending on former Pure require
  6460 additional setup PureThy.old_appl_syntax_setup; object-logics
  6461 depending on former CPure need to refer to Pure.
  6462 
  6463 * Commands 'use' and 'ML' are now purely functional, operating on
  6464 theory/local_theory.  Removed former 'ML_setup' (on theory), use 'ML'
  6465 instead.  Added 'ML_val' as mere diagnostic replacement for 'ML'.
  6466 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6467 
  6468 * Command 'setup': discontinued implicit version with ML reference.
  6469 
  6470 * Instantiation target allows for simultaneous specification of class
  6471 instance operations together with an instantiation proof.
  6472 Type-checking phase allows to refer to class operations uniformly.
  6473 See src/HOL/Complex/Complex.thy for an Isar example and
  6474 src/HOL/Library/Eval.thy for an ML example.
  6475 
  6476 * Indexing of literal facts: be more serious about including only
  6477 facts from the visible specification/proof context, but not the
  6478 background context (locale etc.).  Affects `prop` notation and method
  6479 "fact".  INCOMPATIBILITY: need to name facts explicitly in rare
  6480 situations.
  6481 
  6482 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": removed obsolete/undocumented
  6483 "(open)" option, which used to expose internal bound variables to the
  6484 proof text.
  6485 
  6486 * Isar statements: removed obsolete case "rule_context".
  6487 INCOMPATIBILITY, better use explicit fixes/assumes.
  6488 
  6489 * Locale proofs: default proof step now includes 'unfold_locales';
  6490 hence 'proof' without argument may be used to unfold locale
  6491 predicates.
  6492 
  6493 
  6494 *** Document preparation ***
  6495 
  6496 * Simplified pdfsetup.sty: color/hyperref is used unconditionally for
  6497 both pdf and dvi (hyperlinks usually work in xdvi as well); removed
  6498 obsolete thumbpdf setup (contemporary PDF viewers do this on the
  6499 spot); renamed link color from "darkblue" to "linkcolor" (default
  6500 value unchanged, can be redefined via \definecolor); no longer sets
  6501 "a4paper" option (unnecessary or even intrusive).
  6502 
  6503 * Antiquotation @{lemma A method} proves proposition A by the given
  6504 method (either a method name or a method name plus (optional) method
  6505 arguments in parentheses) and prints A just like @{prop A}.
  6506 
  6507 
  6508 *** HOL ***
  6509 
  6510 * New primrec package.  Specification syntax conforms in style to
  6511 definition/function/....  No separate induction rule is provided.  The
  6512 "primrec" command distinguishes old-style and new-style specifications
  6513 by syntax.  The former primrec package is now named OldPrimrecPackage.
  6514 When adjusting theories, beware: constants stemming from new-style
  6515 primrec specifications have authentic syntax.
  6516 
  6517 * Metis prover is now an order of magnitude faster, and also works
  6518 with multithreading.
  6519 
  6520 * Metis: the maximum number of clauses that can be produced from a
  6521 theorem is now given by the attribute max_clauses.  Theorems that
  6522 exceed this number are ignored, with a warning printed.
  6523 
  6524 * Sledgehammer no longer produces structured proofs by default. To
  6525 enable, declare [[sledgehammer_full = true]].  Attributes
  6526 reconstruction_modulus, reconstruction_sorts renamed
  6527 sledgehammer_modulus, sledgehammer_sorts.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6528 
  6529 * Method "induct_scheme" derives user-specified induction rules
  6530 from well-founded induction and completeness of patterns. This factors
  6531 out some operations that are done internally by the function package
  6532 and makes them available separately.  See
  6533 src/HOL/ex/Induction_Scheme.thy for examples.
  6534 
  6535 * More flexible generation of measure functions for termination
  6536 proofs: Measure functions can be declared by proving a rule of the
  6537 form "is_measure f" and giving it the [measure_function] attribute.
  6538 The "is_measure" predicate is logically meaningless (always true), and
  6539 just guides the heuristic.  To find suitable measure functions, the
  6540 termination prover sets up the goal "is_measure ?f" of the appropriate
  6541 type and generates all solutions by Prolog-style backward proof using
  6542 the declared rules.
  6543 
  6544 This setup also deals with rules like
  6545 
  6546   "is_measure f ==> is_measure (list_size f)"
  6547 
  6548 which accommodates nested datatypes that recurse through lists.
  6549 Similar rules are predeclared for products and option types.
  6550 
  6551 * Turned the type of sets "'a set" into an abbreviation for "'a => bool"
  6552 
  6553   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  6554 
  6555   - Definitions of overloaded constants on sets have to be replaced by
  6556     definitions on => and bool.
  6557 
  6558   - Some definitions of overloaded operators on sets can now be proved
  6559     using the definitions of the operators on => and bool.  Therefore,
  6560     the following theorems have been renamed:
  6561 
  6562       subset_def   -> subset_eq
  6563       psubset_def  -> psubset_eq
  6564       set_diff_def -> set_diff_eq
  6565       Compl_def    -> Compl_eq
  6566       Sup_set_def  -> Sup_set_eq
  6567       Inf_set_def  -> Inf_set_eq
  6568       sup_set_def  -> sup_set_eq
  6569       inf_set_def  -> inf_set_eq
  6570 
  6571   - Due to the incompleteness of the HO unification algorithm, some
  6572     rules such as subst may require manual instantiation, if some of
  6573     the unknowns in the rule is a set.
  6574 
  6575   - Higher order unification and forward proofs:
  6576     The proof pattern
  6577 
  6578       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  6579       then have "EX S. P S" ..
  6580 
  6581     no longer works (due to the incompleteness of the HO unification
  6582     algorithm) and must be replaced by the pattern
  6583 
  6584       have "EX S. P S"
  6585       proof
  6586         show "P S" <...>
  6587       qed
  6588 
  6589   - Calculational reasoning with subst (or similar rules):
  6590     The proof pattern
  6591 
  6592       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  6593       also have "S = T" <...>
  6594       finally have "P T" .
  6595 
  6596     no longer works (for similar reasons as the previous example) and
  6597     must be replaced by something like
  6598 
  6599       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  6600       moreover have "S = T" <...>
  6601       ultimately have "P T" by simp
  6602 
  6603   - Tactics or packages written in ML code:
  6604     Code performing pattern matching on types via
  6605 
  6606       Type ("set", [T]) => ...
  6607 
  6608     must be rewritten. Moreover, functions like strip_type or
  6609     binder_types no longer return the right value when applied to a
  6610     type of the form
  6611 
  6612       T1 => ... => Tn => U => bool
  6613 
  6614     rather than
  6615 
  6616       T1 => ... => Tn => U set
  6617 
  6618 * Merged theories Wellfounded_Recursion, Accessible_Part and
  6619 Wellfounded_Relations to theory Wellfounded.
  6620 
  6621 * Explicit class "eq" for executable equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6622 
  6623 * Class finite no longer treats UNIV as class parameter.  Use class
  6624 enum from theory Library/Enum instead to achieve a similar effect.
  6625 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6626 
  6627 * Theory List: rule list_induct2 now has explicitly named cases "Nil"
  6628 and "Cons".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6629 
  6630 * HOL (and FOL): renamed variables in rules imp_elim and swap.
  6631 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6632 
  6633 * Theory Product_Type: duplicated lemmas split_Pair_apply and
  6634 injective_fst_snd removed, use split_eta and prod_eqI instead.
  6635 Renamed upd_fst to apfst and upd_snd to apsnd.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6636 
  6637 * Theory Nat: removed redundant lemmas that merely duplicate lemmas of
  6638 the same name in theory Orderings:
  6639 
  6640   less_trans
  6641   less_linear
  6642   le_imp_less_or_eq
  6643   le_less_trans
  6644   less_le_trans
  6645   less_not_sym
  6646   less_asym
  6647 
  6648 Renamed less_imp_le to less_imp_le_nat, and less_irrefl to
  6649 less_irrefl_nat.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to more general types
  6650 and different variable names.
  6651 
  6652 * Library/Option_ord.thy: Canonical order on option type.
  6653 
  6654 * Library/RBT.thy: Red-black trees, an efficient implementation of
  6655 finite maps.
  6656 
  6657 * Library/Countable.thy: Type class for countable types.
  6658 
  6659 * Theory Int: The representation of numerals has changed.  The infix
  6660 operator BIT and the bit datatype with constructors B0 and B1 have
  6661 disappeared.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "Int.Bit0 x" and "Int.Bit1 y" in
  6662 place of "x BIT bit.B0" and "y BIT bit.B1", respectively.  Theorems
  6663 involving BIT, B0, or B1 have been renamed with "Bit0" or "Bit1"
  6664 accordingly.
  6665 
  6666 * Theory Nat: definition of <= and < on natural numbers no longer
  6667 depend on well-founded relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Definitions
  6668 le_def and less_def have disappeared.  Consider lemmas not_less
  6669 [symmetric, where ?'a = nat] and less_eq [symmetric] instead.
  6670 
  6671 * Theory Finite_Set: locales ACf, ACe, ACIf, ACIfSL and ACIfSLlin
  6672 (whose purpose mainly is for various fold_set functionals) have been
  6673 abandoned in favor of the existing algebraic classes
  6674 ab_semigroup_mult, comm_monoid_mult, ab_semigroup_idem_mult,
  6675 lower_semilattice (resp. upper_semilattice) and linorder.
  6676 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6677 
  6678 * Theory Transitive_Closure: induct and cases rules now declare proper
  6679 case_names ("base" and "step").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6680 
  6681 * Theorem Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct generalized to complete
  6682 lattices.  The form set-specific version is available as
  6683 Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct_set.
  6684 
  6685 * Renamed theorems "power.simps" to "power_int.simps".
  6686 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6687 
  6688 * Class semiring_div provides basic abstract properties of semirings
  6689 with division and modulo operations.  Subsumes former class dvd_mod.
  6690 
  6691 * Merged theories IntDef, Numeral and IntArith into unified theory
  6692 Int.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6693 
  6694 * Theory Library/Code_Index: type "index" now represents natural
  6695 numbers rather than integers.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6696 
  6697 * New class "uminus" with operation "uminus" (split of from class
  6698 "minus" which now only has operation "minus", binary).
  6699 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6700 
  6701 * Constants "card", "internal_split", "option_map" now with authentic
  6702 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6703 
  6704 * Definitions subset_def, psubset_def, set_diff_def, Compl_def,
  6705 le_bool_def, less_bool_def, le_fun_def, less_fun_def, inf_bool_def,
  6706 sup_bool_def, Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, inf_fun_def, sup_fun_def,
  6707 Inf_fun_def, Sup_fun_def, inf_set_def, sup_set_def, Inf_set_def,
  6708 Sup_set_def, le_def, less_def, option_map_def now with object
  6709 equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6710 
  6711 * Records. Removed K_record, and replaced it by pure lambda term
  6712 %x. c. The simplifier setup is now more robust against eta expansion.
  6713 INCOMPATIBILITY: in cases explicitly referring to K_record.
  6714 
  6715 * Library/Multiset: {#a, b, c#} abbreviates {#a#} + {#b#} + {#c#}.
  6716 
  6717 * Library/ListVector: new theory of arithmetic vector operations.
  6718 
  6719 * Library/Order_Relation: new theory of various orderings as sets of
  6720 pairs.  Defines preorders, partial orders, linear orders and
  6721 well-orders on sets and on types.
  6722 
  6723 
  6724 *** ZF ***
  6725 
  6726 * Renamed some theories to allow to loading both ZF and HOL in the
  6727 same session:
  6728 
  6729   Datatype  -> Datatype_ZF
  6730   Inductive -> Inductive_ZF
  6731   Int       -> Int_ZF
  6732   IntDiv    -> IntDiv_ZF
  6733   Nat       -> Nat_ZF
  6734   List      -> List_ZF
  6735   Main      -> Main_ZF
  6736 
  6737 INCOMPATIBILITY: ZF theories that import individual theories below
  6738 Main might need to be adapted.  Regular theory Main is still
  6739 available, as trivial extension of Main_ZF.
  6740 
  6741 
  6742 *** ML ***
  6743 
  6744 * ML within Isar: antiquotation @{const name} or @{const
  6745 name(typargs)} produces statically-checked Const term.
  6746 
  6747 * Functor NamedThmsFun: data is available to the user as dynamic fact
  6748 (of the same name).  Removed obsolete print command.
  6749 
  6750 * Removed obsolete "use_legacy_bindings" function.
  6751 
  6752 * The ``print mode'' is now a thread-local value derived from a global
  6753 template (the former print_mode reference), thus access becomes
  6754 non-critical.  The global print_mode reference is for session
  6755 management only; user-code should use print_mode_value,
  6756 print_mode_active, PrintMode.setmp etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6757 
  6758 * Functions system/system_out provide a robust way to invoke external
  6759 shell commands, with propagation of interrupts (requires Poly/ML
  6760 5.2.1).  Do not use OS.Process.system etc. from the basis library!
  6761 
  6762 
  6763 *** System ***
  6764 
  6765 * Default settings: PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS no longer impose xemacs ---
  6766 in accordance with Proof General 3.7, which prefers GNU emacs.
  6767 
  6768 * isatool tty runs Isabelle process with plain tty interaction;
  6769 optional line editor may be specified via ISABELLE_LINE_EDITOR
  6770 setting, the default settings attempt to locate "ledit" and "rlwrap".
  6771 
  6772 * isatool browser now works with Cygwin as well, using general
  6773 "javapath" function defined in Isabelle process environment.
  6774 
  6775 * YXML notation provides a simple and efficient alternative to
  6776 standard XML transfer syntax.  See src/Pure/General/yxml.ML and
  6777 isatool yxml as described in the Isabelle system manual.
  6778 
  6779 * JVM class isabelle.IsabelleProcess (located in Isabelle/lib/classes)
  6780 provides general wrapper for managing an Isabelle process in a robust
  6781 fashion, with ``cooked'' output from stdin/stderr.
  6782 
  6783 * Rudimentary Isabelle plugin for jEdit (see Isabelle/lib/jedit),
  6784 based on Isabelle/JVM process wrapper (see Isabelle/lib/classes).
  6785 
  6786 * Removed obsolete THIS_IS_ISABELLE_BUILD feature.  NB: the documented
  6787 way of changing the user's settings is via
  6788 ISABELLE_HOME_USER/etc/settings, which is a fully featured bash
  6789 script.
  6790 
  6791 * Multithreading.max_threads := 0 refers to the number of actual CPU
  6792 cores of the underlying machine, which is a good starting point for
  6793 optimal performance tuning.  The corresponding usedir option -M allows
  6794 "max" as an alias for "0".  WARNING: does not work on certain versions
  6795 of Mac OS (with Poly/ML 5.1).
  6796 
  6797 * isabelle-process: non-ML sessions are run with "nice", to reduce the
  6798 adverse effect of Isabelle flooding interactive front-ends (notably
  6799 ProofGeneral / XEmacs).
  6800 
  6801 
  6802 
  6803 New in Isabelle2007 (November 2007)
  6804 -----------------------------------
  6805 
  6806 *** General ***
  6807 
  6808 * More uniform information about legacy features, notably a
  6809 warning/error of "Legacy feature: ...", depending on the state of the
  6810 tolerate_legacy_features flag (default true). FUTURE INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6811 legacy features will disappear eventually.
  6812 
  6813 * Theory syntax: the header format ``theory A = B + C:'' has been
  6814 discontinued in favour of ``theory A imports B C begin''.  Use isatool
  6815 fixheaders to convert existing theory files.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6816 
  6817 * Theory syntax: the old non-Isar theory file format has been
  6818 discontinued altogether.  Note that ML proof scripts may still be used
  6819 with Isar theories; migration is usually quite simple with the ML
  6820 function use_legacy_bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6821 
  6822 * Theory syntax: some popular names (e.g. 'class', 'declaration',
  6823 'fun', 'help', 'if') are now keywords.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use double
  6824 quotes.
  6825 
  6826 * Theory loader: be more serious about observing the static theory
  6827 header specifications (including optional directories), but not the
  6828 accidental file locations of previously successful loads.  The strict
  6829 update policy of former update_thy is now already performed by
  6830 use_thy, so the former has been removed; use_thys updates several
  6831 theories simultaneously, just as 'imports' within a theory header
  6832 specification, but without merging the results.  Potential
  6833 INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to refine theory headers and commands
  6834 ROOT.ML which depend on load order.
  6835 
  6836 * Theory loader: optional support for content-based file
  6837 identification, instead of the traditional scheme of full physical
  6838 path plus date stamp; configured by the ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT setting
  6839 (cf. the system manual).  The new scheme allows to work with
  6840 non-finished theories in persistent session images, such that source
  6841 files may be moved later on without requiring reloads.
  6842 
  6843 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  6844 file (with the same base name as the theory) are considered a legacy
  6845 feature, which will disappear eventually. Even now, the theory loader
  6846 no longer maintains dependencies on such files.
  6847 
  6848 * Syntax: the scope for resolving ambiguities via type-inference is
  6849 now limited to individual terms, instead of whole simultaneous
  6850 specifications as before. This greatly reduces the complexity of the
  6851 syntax module and improves flexibility by separating parsing and
  6852 type-checking. INCOMPATIBILITY: additional type-constraints (explicit
  6853 'fixes' etc.) are required in rare situations.
  6854 
  6855 * Syntax: constants introduced by new-style packages ('definition',
  6856 'abbreviation' etc.) are passed through the syntax module in
  6857 ``authentic mode''. This means that associated mixfix annotations
  6858 really stick to such constants, independently of potential name space
  6859 ambiguities introduced later on. INCOMPATIBILITY: constants in parse
  6860 trees are represented slightly differently, may need to adapt syntax
  6861 translations accordingly. Use CONST marker in 'translations' and
  6862 @{const_syntax} antiquotation in 'parse_translation' etc.
  6863 
  6864 * Legacy goal package: reduced interface to the bare minimum required
  6865 to keep existing proof scripts running.  Most other user-level
  6866 functions are now part of the OldGoals structure, which is *not* open
  6867 by default (consider isatool expandshort before open OldGoals).
  6868 Removed top_sg, prin, printyp, pprint_term/typ altogether, because
  6869 these tend to cause confusion about the actual goal (!) context being
  6870 used here, which is not necessarily the same as the_context().
  6871 
  6872 * Command 'find_theorems': supports "*" wild-card in "name:"
  6873 criterion; "with_dups" option.  Certain ProofGeneral versions might
  6874 support a specific search form (see ProofGeneral/CHANGES).
  6875 
  6876 * The ``prems limit'' option (cf. ProofContext.prems_limit) is now -1
  6877 by default, which means that "prems" (and also "fixed variables") are
  6878 suppressed from proof state output.  Note that the ProofGeneral
  6879 settings mechanism allows to change and save options persistently, but
  6880 older versions of Isabelle will fail to start up if a negative prems
  6881 limit is imposed.
  6882 
  6883 * Local theory targets may be specified by non-nested blocks of
  6884 ``context/locale/class ... begin'' followed by ``end''.  The body may
  6885 contain definitions, theorems etc., including any derived mechanism
  6886 that has been implemented on top of these primitives.  This concept
  6887 generalizes the existing ``theorem (in ...)'' towards more versatility
  6888 and scalability.
  6889 
  6890 * Proof General interface: proper undo of final 'end' command;
  6891 discontinued Isabelle/classic mode (ML proof scripts).
  6892 
  6893 
  6894 *** Document preparation ***
  6895 
  6896 * Added antiquotation @{theory name} which prints the given name,
  6897 after checking that it refers to a valid ancestor theory in the
  6898 current context.
  6899 
  6900 * Added antiquotations @{ML_type text} and @{ML_struct text} which
  6901 check the given source text as ML type/structure, printing verbatim.
  6902 
  6903 * Added antiquotation @{abbrev "c args"} which prints the abbreviation
  6904 "c args == rhs" given in the current context.  (Any number of
  6905 arguments may be given on the LHS.)
  6906 
  6907 
  6908 *** Pure ***
  6909 
  6910 * The 'class' package offers a combination of axclass and locale to
  6911 achieve Haskell-like type classes in Isabelle.  Definitions and
  6912 theorems within a class context produce both relative results (with
  6913 implicit parameters according to the locale context), and polymorphic
  6914 constants with qualified polymorphism (according to the class
  6915 context).  Within the body context of a 'class' target, a separate
  6916 syntax layer ("user space type system") takes care of converting
  6917 between global polymorphic consts and internal locale representation.
  6918 See src/HOL/ex/Classpackage.thy for examples (as well as main HOL).
  6919 "isatool doc classes" provides a tutorial.
  6920 
  6921 * Generic code generator framework allows to generate executable
  6922 code for ML and Haskell (including Isabelle classes).  A short usage
  6923 sketch:
  6924 
  6925     internal compilation:
  6926         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML
  6927     writing SML code to a file:
  6928         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML <filename>
  6929     writing OCaml code to a file:
  6930         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in OCaml <filename>
  6931     writing Haskell code to a bunch of files:
  6932         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in Haskell <filename>
  6933 
  6934     evaluating closed propositions to True/False using code generation:
  6935         method ``eval''
  6936 
  6937 Reasonable default setup of framework in HOL.
  6938 
  6939 Theorem attributs for selecting and transforming function equations theorems:
  6940 
  6941     [code fun]:        select a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  6942     [code fun del]:    deselect a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  6943     [code inline]:     select an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  6944     [code inline del]: deselect an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  6945 
  6946 User-defined serializations (target in {SML, OCaml, Haskell}):
  6947 
  6948     code_const <and-list of constants (term syntax)>
  6949       {(target) <and-list of const target syntax>}+
  6950 
  6951     code_type <and-list of type constructors>
  6952       {(target) <and-list of type target syntax>}+
  6953 
  6954     code_instance <and-list of instances>
  6955       {(target)}+
  6956         where instance ::= <type constructor> :: <class>
  6957 
  6958     code_class <and_list of classes>
  6959       {(target) <and-list of class target syntax>}+
  6960         where class target syntax ::= <class name> {where {<classop> == <target syntax>}+}?
  6961 
  6962 code_instance and code_class only are effective to target Haskell.
  6963 
  6964 For example usage see src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator.thy and
  6965 src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator_Pretty.thy.  A separate tutorial on code
  6966 generation from Isabelle/HOL theories is available via "isatool doc
  6967 codegen".
  6968 
  6969 * Code generator: consts in 'consts_code' Isar commands are now
  6970 referred to by usual term syntax (including optional type
  6971 annotations).
  6972 
  6973 * Command 'no_translations' removes translation rules from theory
  6974 syntax.
  6975 
  6976 * Overloaded definitions are now actually checked for acyclic
  6977 dependencies.  The overloading scheme is slightly more general than
  6978 that of Haskell98, although Isabelle does not demand an exact
  6979 correspondence to type class and instance declarations.
  6980 INCOMPATIBILITY, use ``defs (unchecked overloaded)'' to admit more
  6981 exotic versions of overloading -- at the discretion of the user!
  6982 
  6983 Polymorphic constants are represented via type arguments, i.e. the
  6984 instantiation that matches an instance against the most general
  6985 declaration given in the signature.  For example, with the declaration
  6986 c :: 'a => 'a => 'a, an instance c :: nat => nat => nat is represented
  6987 as c(nat).  Overloading is essentially simultaneous structural
  6988 recursion over such type arguments.  Incomplete specification patterns
  6989 impose global constraints on all occurrences, e.g. c('a * 'a) on the
  6990 LHS means that more general c('a * 'b) will be disallowed on any RHS.
  6991 Command 'print_theory' outputs the normalized system of recursive
  6992 equations, see section "definitions".
  6993 
  6994 * Configuration options are maintained within the theory or proof
  6995 context (with name and type bool/int/string), providing a very simple
  6996 interface to a poor-man's version of general context data.  Tools may
  6997 declare options in ML (e.g. using Attrib.config_int) and then refer to
  6998 these values using Config.get etc.  Users may change options via an
  6999 associated attribute of the same name.  This form of context
  7000 declaration works particularly well with commands 'declare' or
  7001 'using', for example ``declare [[foo = 42]]''.  Thus it has become
  7002 very easy to avoid global references, which would not observe Isar
  7003 toplevel undo/redo and fail to work with multithreading.
  7004 
  7005 Various global ML references of Pure and HOL have been turned into
  7006 configuration options:
  7007 
  7008   Unify.search_bound		unify_search_bound
  7009   Unify.trace_bound		unify_trace_bound
  7010   Unify.trace_simp		unify_trace_simp
  7011   Unify.trace_types		unify_trace_types
  7012   Simplifier.simp_depth_limit	simp_depth_limit
  7013   Blast.depth_limit		blast_depth_limit
  7014   DatatypeProp.dtK		datatype_distinctness_limit
  7015   fast_arith_neq_limit  	fast_arith_neq_limit
  7016   fast_arith_split_limit	fast_arith_split_limit
  7017 
  7018 * Named collections of theorems may be easily installed as context
  7019 data using the functor NamedThmsFun (see also
  7020 src/Pure/Tools/named_thms.ML).  The user may add or delete facts via
  7021 attributes; there is also a toplevel print command.  This facility is
  7022 just a common case of general context data, which is the preferred way
  7023 for anything more complex than just a list of facts in canonical
  7024 order.
  7025 
  7026 * Isar: command 'declaration' augments a local theory by generic
  7027 declaration functions written in ML.  This enables arbitrary content
  7028 being added to the context, depending on a morphism that tells the
  7029 difference of the original declaration context wrt. the application
  7030 context encountered later on.
  7031 
  7032 * Isar: proper interfaces for simplification procedures.  Command
  7033 'simproc_setup' declares named simprocs (with match patterns, and body
  7034 text in ML).  Attribute "simproc" adds/deletes simprocs in the current
  7035 context.  ML antiquotation @{simproc name} retrieves named simprocs.
  7036 
  7037 * Isar: an extra pair of brackets around attribute declarations
  7038 abbreviates a theorem reference involving an internal dummy fact,
  7039 which will be ignored later --- only the effect of the attribute on
  7040 the background context will persist.  This form of in-place
  7041 declarations is particularly useful with commands like 'declare' and
  7042 'using', for example ``have A using [[simproc a]] by simp''.
  7043 
  7044 * Isar: method "assumption" (and implicit closing of subproofs) now
  7045 takes simple non-atomic goal assumptions into account: after applying
  7046 an assumption as a rule the resulting subgoals are solved by atomic
  7047 assumption steps.  This is particularly useful to finish 'obtain'
  7048 goals, such as "!!x. (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> P x ==> thesis",
  7049 without referring to the original premise "!!x. P x ==> thesis" in the
  7050 Isar proof context.  POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY: method "assumption" is
  7051 more permissive.
  7052 
  7053 * Isar: implicit use of prems from the Isar proof context is
  7054 considered a legacy feature.  Common applications like ``have A .''
  7055 may be replaced by ``have A by fact'' or ``note `A`''.  In general,
  7056 referencing facts explicitly here improves readability and
  7057 maintainability of proof texts.
  7058 
  7059 * Isar: improper proof element 'guess' is like 'obtain', but derives
  7060 the obtained context from the course of reasoning!  For example:
  7061 
  7062   assume "EX x y. A x & B y"   -- "any previous fact"
  7063   then guess x and y by clarify
  7064 
  7065 This technique is potentially adventurous, depending on the facts and
  7066 proof tools being involved here.
  7067 
  7068 * Isar: known facts from the proof context may be specified as literal
  7069 propositions, using ASCII back-quote syntax.  This works wherever
  7070 named facts used to be allowed so far, in proof commands, proof
  7071 methods, attributes etc.  Literal facts are retrieved from the context
  7072 according to unification of type and term parameters.  For example,
  7073 provided that "A" and "A ==> B" and "!!x. P x ==> Q x" are known
  7074 theorems in the current context, then these are valid literal facts:
  7075 `A` and `A ==> B` and `!!x. P x ==> Q x" as well as `P a ==> Q a` etc.
  7076 
  7077 There is also a proof method "fact" which does the same composition
  7078 for explicit goal states, e.g. the following proof texts coincide with
  7079 certain special cases of literal facts:
  7080 
  7081   have "A" by fact                 ==  note `A`
  7082   have "A ==> B" by fact           ==  note `A ==> B`
  7083   have "!!x. P x ==> Q x" by fact  ==  note `!!x. P x ==> Q x`
  7084   have "P a ==> Q a" by fact       ==  note `P a ==> Q a`
  7085 
  7086 * Isar: ":" (colon) is no longer a symbolic identifier character in
  7087 outer syntax.  Thus symbolic identifiers may be used without
  7088 additional white space in declarations like this: ``assume *: A''.
  7089 
  7090 * Isar: 'print_facts' prints all local facts of the current context,
  7091 both named and unnamed ones.
  7092 
  7093 * Isar: 'def' now admits simultaneous definitions, e.g.:
  7094 
  7095   def x == "t" and y == "u"
  7096 
  7097 * Isar: added command 'unfolding', which is structurally similar to
  7098 'using', but affects both the goal state and facts by unfolding given
  7099 rewrite rules.  Thus many occurrences of the 'unfold' method or
  7100 'unfolded' attribute may be replaced by first-class proof text.
  7101 
  7102 * Isar: methods 'unfold' / 'fold', attributes 'unfolded' / 'folded',
  7103 and command 'unfolding' now all support object-level equalities
  7104 (potentially conditional).  The underlying notion of rewrite rule is
  7105 analogous to the 'rule_format' attribute, but *not* that of the
  7106 Simplifier (which is usually more generous).
  7107 
  7108 * Isar: the new attribute [rotated n] (default n = 1) rotates the
  7109 premises of a theorem by n. Useful in conjunction with drule.
  7110 
  7111 * Isar: the goal restriction operator [N] (default N = 1) evaluates a
  7112 method expression within a sandbox consisting of the first N
  7113 sub-goals, which need to exist.  For example, ``simp_all [3]''
  7114 simplifies the first three sub-goals, while (rule foo, simp_all)[]
  7115 simplifies all new goals that emerge from applying rule foo to the
  7116 originally first one.
  7117 
  7118 * Isar: schematic goals are no longer restricted to higher-order
  7119 patterns; e.g. ``lemma "?P(?x)" by (rule TrueI)'' now works as
  7120 expected.
  7121 
  7122 * Isar: the conclusion of a long theorem statement is now either
  7123 'shows' (a simultaneous conjunction, as before), or 'obtains'
  7124 (essentially a disjunction of cases with local parameters and
  7125 assumptions).  The latter allows to express general elimination rules
  7126 adequately; in this notation common elimination rules look like this:
  7127 
  7128   lemma exE:    -- "EX x. P x ==> (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  7129     assumes "EX x. P x"
  7130     obtains x where "P x"
  7131 
  7132   lemma conjE:  -- "A & B ==> (A ==> B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  7133     assumes "A & B"
  7134     obtains A and B
  7135 
  7136   lemma disjE:  -- "A | B ==> (A ==> thesis) ==> (B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  7137     assumes "A | B"
  7138     obtains
  7139       A
  7140     | B
  7141 
  7142 The subsequent classical rules even refer to the formal "thesis"
  7143 explicitly:
  7144 
  7145   lemma classical:     -- "(~ thesis ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  7146     obtains "~ thesis"
  7147 
  7148   lemma Peirce's_Law:  -- "((thesis ==> something) ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  7149     obtains "thesis ==> something"
  7150 
  7151 The actual proof of an 'obtains' statement is analogous to that of the
  7152 Isar proof element 'obtain', only that there may be several cases.
  7153 Optional case names may be specified in parentheses; these will be
  7154 available both in the present proof and as annotations in the
  7155 resulting rule, for later use with the 'cases' method (cf. attribute
  7156 case_names).
  7157 
  7158 * Isar: the assumptions of a long theorem statement are available as
  7159 "assms" fact in the proof context.  This is more appropriate than the
  7160 (historical) "prems", which refers to all assumptions of the current
  7161 context, including those from the target locale, proof body etc.
  7162 
  7163 * Isar: 'print_statement' prints theorems from the current theory or
  7164 proof context in long statement form, according to the syntax of a
  7165 top-level lemma.
  7166 
  7167 * Isar: 'obtain' takes an optional case name for the local context
  7168 introduction rule (default "that").
  7169 
  7170 * Isar: removed obsolete 'concl is' patterns.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  7171 explicit (is "_ ==> ?foo") in the rare cases where this still happens
  7172 to occur.
  7173 
  7174 * Pure: syntax "CONST name" produces a fully internalized constant
  7175 according to the current context.  This is particularly useful for
  7176 syntax translations that should refer to internal constant
  7177 representations independently of name spaces.
  7178 
  7179 * Pure: syntax constant for foo (binder "FOO ") is called "foo_binder"
  7180 instead of "FOO ". This allows multiple binder declarations to coexist
  7181 in the same context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7182 
  7183 * Isar/locales: 'notation' provides a robust interface to the 'syntax'
  7184 primitive that also works in a locale context (both for constants and
  7185 fixed variables). Type declaration and internal syntactic representation
  7186 of given constants retrieved from the context. Likewise, the
  7187 'no_notation' command allows to remove given syntax annotations from the
  7188 current context.
  7189 
  7190 * Isar/locales: new derived specification elements 'axiomatization',
  7191 'definition', 'abbreviation', which support type-inference, admit
  7192 object-level specifications (equality, equivalence).  See also the
  7193 isar-ref manual.  Examples:
  7194 
  7195   axiomatization
  7196     eq  (infix "===" 50) where
  7197     eq_refl: "x === x" and eq_subst: "x === y ==> P x ==> P y"
  7198 
  7199   definition "f x y = x + y + 1"
  7200   definition g where "g x = f x x"
  7201 
  7202   abbreviation
  7203     neq  (infix "=!=" 50) where
  7204     "x =!= y == ~ (x === y)"
  7205 
  7206 These specifications may be also used in a locale context.  Then the
  7207 constants being introduced depend on certain fixed parameters, and the
  7208 constant name is qualified by the locale base name.  An internal
  7209 abbreviation takes care for convenient input and output, making the
  7210 parameters implicit and using the original short name.  See also
  7211 src/HOL/ex/Abstract_NAT.thy for an example of deriving polymorphic
  7212 entities from a monomorphic theory.
  7213 
  7214 Presently, abbreviations are only available 'in' a target locale, but
  7215 not inherited by general import expressions.  Also note that
  7216 'abbreviation' may be used as a type-safe replacement for 'syntax' +
  7217 'translations' in common applications.  The "no_abbrevs" print mode
  7218 prevents folding of abbreviations in term output.
  7219 
  7220 Concrete syntax is attached to specified constants in internal form,
  7221 independently of name spaces.  The parse tree representation is
  7222 slightly different -- use 'notation' instead of raw 'syntax', and
  7223 'translations' with explicit "CONST" markup to accommodate this.
  7224 
  7225 * Pure/Isar: unified syntax for new-style specification mechanisms
  7226 (e.g.  'definition', 'abbreviation', or 'inductive' in HOL) admits
  7227 full type inference and dummy patterns ("_").  For example:
  7228 
  7229   definition "K x _ = x"
  7230 
  7231   inductive conj for A B
  7232   where "A ==> B ==> conj A B"
  7233 
  7234 * Pure: command 'print_abbrevs' prints all constant abbreviations of
  7235 the current context.  Print mode "no_abbrevs" prevents inversion of
  7236 abbreviations on output.
  7237 
  7238 * Isar/locales: improved parameter handling: use of locales "var" and
  7239 "struct" no longer necessary; - parameter renamings are no longer
  7240 required to be injective.  For example, this allows to define
  7241 endomorphisms as locale endom = homom mult mult h.
  7242 
  7243 * Isar/locales: changed the way locales with predicates are defined.
  7244 Instead of accumulating the specification, the imported expression is
  7245 now an interpretation.  INCOMPATIBILITY: different normal form of
  7246 locale expressions.  In particular, in interpretations of locales with
  7247 predicates, goals repesenting already interpreted fragments are not
  7248 removed automatically.  Use methods `intro_locales' and
  7249 `unfold_locales'; see below.
  7250 
  7251 * Isar/locales: new methods `intro_locales' and `unfold_locales'
  7252 provide backward reasoning on locales predicates.  The methods are
  7253 aware of interpretations and discharge corresponding goals.
  7254 `intro_locales' is less aggressive then `unfold_locales' and does not
  7255 unfold predicates to assumptions.
  7256 
  7257 * Isar/locales: the order in which locale fragments are accumulated
  7258 has changed.  This enables to override declarations from fragments due
  7259 to interpretations -- for example, unwanted simp rules.
  7260 
  7261 * Isar/locales: interpretation in theories and proof contexts has been
  7262 extended.  One may now specify (and prove) equations, which are
  7263 unfolded in interpreted theorems.  This is useful for replacing
  7264 defined concepts (constants depending on locale parameters) by
  7265 concepts already existing in the target context.  Example:
  7266 
  7267   interpretation partial_order ["op <= :: [int, int] => bool"]
  7268     where "partial_order.less (op <=) (x::int) y = (x < y)"
  7269 
  7270 Typically, the constant `partial_order.less' is created by a
  7271 definition specification element in the context of locale
  7272 partial_order.
  7273 
  7274 * Method "induct": improved internal context management to support
  7275 local fixes and defines on-the-fly. Thus explicit meta-level
  7276 connectives !!  and ==> are rarely required anymore in inductive goals
  7277 (using object-logic connectives for this purpose has been long
  7278 obsolete anyway). Common proof patterns are explained in
  7279 src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, see also
  7280 src/HOL/Isar_examples/Puzzle.thy and src/HOL/Lambda for realistic
  7281 examples.
  7282 
  7283 * Method "induct": improved handling of simultaneous goals. Instead of
  7284 introducing object-level conjunction, the statement is now split into
  7285 several conclusions, while the corresponding symbolic cases are nested
  7286 accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY, proofs need to be structured explicitly,
  7287 see src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, for example.
  7288 
  7289 * Method "induct": mutual induction rules are now specified as a list
  7290 of rule sharing the same induction cases. HOL packages usually provide
  7291 foo_bar.inducts for mutually defined items foo and bar (e.g. inductive
  7292 predicates/sets or datatypes). INCOMPATIBILITY, users need to specify
  7293 mutual induction rules differently, i.e. like this:
  7294 
  7295   (induct rule: foo_bar.inducts)
  7296   (induct set: foo bar)
  7297   (induct pred: foo bar)
  7298   (induct type: foo bar)
  7299 
  7300 The ML function ProjectRule.projections turns old-style rules into the
  7301 new format.
  7302 
  7303 * Method "coinduct": dual of induction, see
  7304 src/HOL/Library/Coinductive_List.thy for various examples.
  7305 
  7306 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": the ``(open)'' option is
  7307 considered a legacy feature.
  7308 
  7309 * Attribute "symmetric" produces result with standardized schematic
  7310 variables (index 0).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7311 
  7312 * Simplifier: by default the simplifier trace only shows top level
  7313 rewrites now. That is, trace_simp_depth_limit is set to 1 by
  7314 default. Thus there is less danger of being flooded by the trace. The
  7315 trace indicates where parts have been suppressed.
  7316 
  7317 * Provers/classical: removed obsolete classical version of elim_format
  7318 attribute; classical elim/dest rules are now treated uniformly when
  7319 manipulating the claset.
  7320 
  7321 * Provers/classical: stricter checks to ensure that supplied intro,
  7322 dest and elim rules are well-formed; dest and elim rules must have at
  7323 least one premise.
  7324 
  7325 * Provers/classical: attributes dest/elim/intro take an optional
  7326 weight argument for the rule (just as the Pure versions).  Weights are
  7327 ignored by automated tools, but determine the search order of single
  7328 rule steps.
  7329 
  7330 * Syntax: input syntax now supports dummy variable binding "%_. b",
  7331 where the body does not mention the bound variable.  Note that dummy
  7332 patterns implicitly depend on their context of bounds, which makes
  7333 "{_. _}" match any set comprehension as expected.  Potential
  7334 INCOMPATIBILITY -- parse translations need to cope with syntactic
  7335 constant "_idtdummy" in the binding position.
  7336 
  7337 * Syntax: removed obsolete syntactic constant "_K" and its associated
  7338 parse translation.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- use dummy abstraction instead,
  7339 for example "A -> B" => "Pi A (%_. B)".
  7340 
  7341 * Pure: 'class_deps' command visualizes the subclass relation, using
  7342 the graph browser tool.
  7343 
  7344 * Pure: 'print_theory' now suppresses certain internal declarations by
  7345 default; use '!' option for full details.
  7346 
  7347 
  7348 *** HOL ***
  7349 
  7350 * Method "metis" proves goals by applying the Metis general-purpose
  7351 resolution prover (see also http://gilith.com/software/metis/).
  7352 Examples are in the directory MetisExamples.  WARNING: the
  7353 Isabelle/HOL-Metis integration does not yet work properly with
  7354 multi-threading.
  7355 
  7356 * Command 'sledgehammer' invokes external automatic theorem provers as
  7357 background processes.  It generates calls to the "metis" method if
  7358 successful. These can be pasted into the proof.  Users do not have to
  7359 wait for the automatic provers to return.  WARNING: does not really
  7360 work with multi-threading.
  7361 
  7362 * New "auto_quickcheck" feature tests outermost goal statements for
  7363 potential counter-examples.  Controlled by ML references
  7364 auto_quickcheck (default true) and auto_quickcheck_time_limit (default
  7365 5000 milliseconds).  Fails silently if statements is outside of
  7366 executable fragment, or any other codgenerator problem occurs.
  7367 
  7368 * New constant "undefined" with axiom "undefined x = undefined".
  7369 
  7370 * Added class "HOL.eq", allowing for code generation with polymorphic
  7371 equality.
  7372 
  7373 * Some renaming of class constants due to canonical name prefixing in
  7374 the new 'class' package:
  7375 
  7376     HOL.abs ~> HOL.abs_class.abs
  7377     HOL.divide ~> HOL.divide_class.divide
  7378     0 ~> HOL.zero_class.zero
  7379     1 ~> HOL.one_class.one
  7380     op + ~> HOL.plus_class.plus
  7381     op - ~> HOL.minus_class.minus
  7382     uminus ~> HOL.minus_class.uminus
  7383     op * ~> HOL.times_class.times

  7394     Divides.op mod ~> Divides.div_class.mod
  7395     Divides.op dvd ~> Divides.div_class.dvd
  7396 
  7397 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Adaptions may be required in the following cases:
  7398 
  7399 a) User-defined constants using any of the names "plus", "minus",
  7400 "times", "less" or "less_eq". The standard syntax translations for
  7401 "+", "-" and "*" may go wrong.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific
  7402 names.
  7403 
  7404 b) Variables named "plus", "minus", "times", "less", "less_eq"
  7405 INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific names.
  7406 
  7407 c) Permutative equations (e.g. "a + b = b + a")
  7408 Since the change of names also changes the order of terms, permutative
  7409 rewrite rules may get applied in a different order. Experience shows
  7410 that this is rarely the case (only two adaptions in the whole Isabelle
  7411 distribution).  INCOMPATIBILITY: rewrite proofs
  7412 
  7413 d) ML code directly refering to constant names
  7414 This in general only affects hand-written proof tactics, simprocs and
  7415 so on.  INCOMPATIBILITY: grep your sourcecode and replace names.
  7416 Consider using @{const_name} antiquotation.
  7417 
  7418 * New class "default" with associated constant "default".
  7419 
  7420 * Function "sgn" is now overloaded and available on int, real, complex
  7421 (and other numeric types), using class "sgn".  Two possible defs of
  7422 sgn are given as equational assumptions in the classes sgn_if and
  7423 sgn_div_norm; ordered_idom now also inherits from sgn_if.
  7424 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7425 
  7426 * Locale "partial_order" now unified with class "order" (cf. theory
  7427 Orderings), added parameter "less".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7428 
  7429 * Renamings in classes "order" and "linorder": facts "refl", "trans" and
  7430 "cases" to "order_refl", "order_trans" and "linorder_cases", to avoid
  7431 clashes with HOL "refl" and "trans".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7432 
  7433 * Classes "order" and "linorder": potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to
  7434 changed order of proof goals in instance proofs.
  7435 
  7436 * The transitivity reasoner for partial and linear orders is set up
  7437 for classes "order" and "linorder".  Instances of the reasoner are available
  7438 in all contexts importing or interpreting the corresponding locales.
  7439 Method "order" invokes the reasoner separately; the reasoner
  7440 is also integrated with the Simplifier as a solver.  Diagnostic
  7441 command 'print_orders' shows the available instances of the reasoner
  7442 in the current context.
  7443 
  7444 * Localized monotonicity predicate in theory "Orderings"; integrated
  7445 lemmas max_of_mono and min_of_mono with this predicate.
  7446 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7447 
  7448 * Formulation of theorem "dense" changed slightly due to integration
  7449 with new class dense_linear_order.
  7450 
  7451 * Uniform lattice theory development in HOL.
  7452 
  7453     constants "meet" and "join" now named "inf" and "sup"
  7454     constant "Meet" now named "Inf"
  7455 
  7456     classes "meet_semilorder" and "join_semilorder" now named
  7457       "lower_semilattice" and "upper_semilattice"
  7458     class "lorder" now named "lattice"
  7459     class "comp_lat" now named "complete_lattice"
  7460 
  7461     Instantiation of lattice classes allows explicit definitions
  7462     for "inf" and "sup" operations (or "Inf" and "Sup" for complete lattices).
  7463 
  7464   INCOMPATIBILITY.  Theorem renames:
  7465 
  7466     meet_left_le            ~> inf_le1
  7467     meet_right_le           ~> inf_le2

  7566 
  7567 * Added syntactic class "size"; overloaded constant "size" now has
  7568 type "'a::size ==> bool"
  7569 
  7570 * Internal reorganisation of `size' of datatypes: size theorems
  7571 "foo.size" are no longer subsumed by "foo.simps" (but are still
  7572 simplification rules by default!); theorems "prod.size" now named
  7573 "*.size".
  7574 
  7575 * Class "div" now inherits from class "times" rather than "type".
  7576 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7577 
  7578 * HOL/Finite_Set: "name-space" locales Lattice, Distrib_lattice,
  7579 Linorder etc.  have disappeared; operations defined in terms of
  7580 fold_set now are named Inf_fin, Sup_fin.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7581 
  7582 * HOL/Nat: neq0_conv no longer declared as iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7583 
  7584 * HOL-Word: New extensive library and type for generic, fixed size
  7585 machine words, with arithmetic, bit-wise, shifting and rotating
  7586 operations, reflection into int, nat, and bool lists, automation for
  7587 linear arithmetic (by automatic reflection into nat or int), including
  7588 lemmas on overflow and monotonicity.  Instantiated to all appropriate
  7589 arithmetic type classes, supporting automatic simplification of
  7590 numerals on all operations.
  7591 
  7592 * Library/Boolean_Algebra: locales for abstract boolean algebras.
  7593 
  7594 * Library/Numeral_Type: numbers as types, e.g. TYPE(32).
  7595 
  7596 * Code generator library theories:
  7597   - Code_Integer represents HOL integers by big integer literals in target
  7598     languages.
  7599   - Code_Char represents HOL characters by character literals in target
  7600     languages.
  7601   - Code_Char_chr like Code_Char, but also offers treatment of character
  7602     codes; includes Code_Integer.
  7603   - Executable_Set allows to generate code for finite sets using lists.
  7604   - Executable_Rat implements rational numbers as triples (sign, enumerator,
  7605     denominator).
  7606   - Executable_Real implements a subset of real numbers, namly those
  7607     representable by rational numbers.
  7608   - Efficient_Nat implements natural numbers by integers, which in general will
  7609     result in higher efficency; pattern matching with 0/Suc is eliminated;
  7610     includes Code_Integer.
  7611   - Code_Index provides an additional datatype index which is mapped to
  7612     target-language built-in integers.
  7613   - Code_Message provides an additional datatype message_string which is isomorphic to
  7614     strings; messages are mapped to target-language strings.
  7615 
  7616 * New package for inductive predicates
  7617 
  7618   An n-ary predicate p with m parameters z_1, ..., z_m can now be defined via
  7619 
  7620     inductive
  7621       p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7622       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7623     where
  7624       rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  7625     | ...
  7626 
  7627   with full support for type-inference, rather than
  7628 
  7629     consts s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7630 
  7631     abbreviation p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7632     where "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7633 
  7634     inductive "s z_1 ... z_m"
  7635     intros
  7636       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7637       ...
  7638 
  7639   For backward compatibility, there is a wrapper allowing inductive
  7640   sets to be defined with the new package via
  7641 
  7642     inductive_set
  7643       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7644       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7645     where
  7646       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7647     | ...
  7648 
  7649   or
  7650 
  7651     inductive_set
  7652       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7653       and p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7654       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7655     where
  7656       "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7657     | rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  7658     | ...
  7659 
  7660   if the additional syntax "p ..." is required.
  7661 
  7662   Numerous examples can be found in the subdirectories src/HOL/Auth,
  7663   src/HOL/Bali, src/HOL/Induct, and src/HOL/MicroJava.
  7664 
  7665   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  7666 
  7667   - Since declaration and definition of inductive sets or predicates
  7668     is no longer separated, abbreviations involving the newly
  7669     introduced sets or predicates must be specified together with the
  7670     introduction rules after the 'where' keyword (see above), rather
  7671     than before the actual inductive definition.
  7672 
  7673   - The variables in induction and elimination rules are now
  7674     quantified in the order of their occurrence in the introduction
  7675     rules, rather than in alphabetical order. Since this may break
  7676     some proofs, these proofs either have to be repaired, e.g. by
  7677     reordering the variables a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i} in Isar 'case'
  7678     statements of the form
  7679 
  7680       case (rule_i a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i})
  7681 
  7682     or the old order of quantification has to be restored by explicitly adding
  7683     meta-level quantifiers in the introduction rules, i.e.
  7684 
  7685       | rule_i: "!!a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i}. ... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_i_1 ... t_i_n"
  7686 
  7687   - The format of the elimination rules is now
  7688 
  7689       p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n ==>
  7690         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  7691         ==> ... ==> P
  7692 
  7693     for predicates and
  7694 
  7695       (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  7696         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  7697         ==> ... ==> P
  7698 
  7699     for sets rather than
  7700 
  7701       x : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  7702         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x = (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) ==> ... ==> P)
  7703         ==> ... ==> P
  7704 
  7705     This may require terms in goals to be expanded to n-tuples
  7706     (e.g. using case_tac or simplification with the split_paired_all
  7707     rule) before the above elimination rule is applicable.
  7708 
  7709   - The elimination or case analysis rules for (mutually) inductive
  7710     sets or predicates are now called "p_1.cases" ... "p_k.cases". The
  7711     list of rules "p_1_..._p_k.elims" is no longer available.
  7712 
  7713 * New package "function"/"fun" for general recursive functions,
  7714 supporting mutual and nested recursion, definitions in local contexts,
  7715 more general pattern matching and partiality. See HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy
  7716 for small examples, and the separate tutorial on the function
  7717 package. The old recdef "package" is still available as before, but
  7718 users are encouraged to use the new package.
  7719 
  7720 * Method "lexicographic_order" automatically synthesizes termination
  7721 relations as lexicographic combinations of size measures.
  7722 
  7723 * Case-expressions allow arbitrary constructor-patterns (including
  7724 "_") and take their order into account, like in functional
  7725 programming.  Internally, this is translated into nested
  7726 case-expressions; missing cases are added and mapped to the predefined
  7727 constant "undefined". In complicated cases printing may no longer show
  7728 the original input but the internal form. Lambda-abstractions allow
  7729 the same form of pattern matching: "% pat1 => e1 | ..." is an
  7730 abbreviation for "%x. case x of pat1 => e1 | ..." where x is a new
  7731 variable.
  7732 
  7733 * IntDef: The constant "int :: nat => int" has been removed; now "int"
  7734 is an abbreviation for "of_nat :: nat => int". The simplification
  7735 rules for "of_nat" have been changed to work like "int" did
  7736 previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  7737   - "of_nat (Suc m)" simplifies to "1 + of_nat m" instead of "of_nat m + 1"
  7738   - of_nat_diff and of_nat_mult are no longer default simp rules
  7739 
  7740 * Method "algebra" solves polynomial equations over (semi)rings using
  7741 Groebner bases. The (semi)ring structure is defined by locales and the
  7742 tool setup depends on that generic context. Installing the method for
  7743 a specific type involves instantiating the locale and possibly adding
  7744 declarations for computation on the coefficients.  The method is
  7745 already instantiated for natural numbers and for the axiomatic class
  7746 of idoms with numerals.  See also the paper by Chaieb and Wenzel at
  7747 CALCULEMUS 2007 for the general principles underlying this
  7748 architecture of context-aware proof-tools.
  7749 
  7750 * Method "ferrack" implements quantifier elimination over
  7751 special-purpose dense linear orders using locales (analogous to
  7752 "algebra"). The method is already installed for class
  7753 {ordered_field,recpower,number_ring} which subsumes real, hyperreal,
  7754 rat, etc.
  7755 
  7756 * Former constant "List.op @" now named "List.append".  Use ML
  7757 antiquotations @{const_name List.append} or @{term " ... @ ... "} to
  7758 circumvent possible incompatibilities when working on ML level.
  7759 
  7760 * primrec: missing cases mapped to "undefined" instead of "arbitrary".
  7761 
  7762 * New function listsum :: 'a list => 'a for arbitrary monoids.
  7763 Special syntax: "SUM x <- xs. f x" (and latex variants)
  7764 
  7765 * New syntax for Haskell-like list comprehension (input only), eg.
  7766 [(x,y). x <- xs, y <- ys, x ~= y], see also src/HOL/List.thy.
  7767 
  7768 * The special syntax for function "filter" has changed from [x :
  7769 xs. P] to [x <- xs. P] to avoid an ambiguity caused by list
  7770 comprehension syntax, and for uniformity.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7771 
  7772 * [a..b] is now defined for arbitrary linear orders.  It used to be
  7773 defined on nat only, as an abbreviation for [a..<Suc b]
  7774 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7775 
  7776 * Renamed lemma "set_take_whileD"  to "set_takeWhileD".
  7777 
  7778 * New functions "sorted" and "sort" in src/HOL/List.thy.
  7779 
  7780 * New lemma collection field_simps (an extension of ring_simps) for
  7781 manipulating (in)equations involving division. Multiplies with all
  7782 denominators that can be proved to be non-zero (in equations) or
  7783 positive/negative (in inequations).
  7784 
  7785 * Lemma collections ring_eq_simps, group_eq_simps and ring_distrib
  7786 have been improved and renamed to ring_simps, group_simps and
  7787 ring_distribs.  Removed lemmas field_xyz in theory Ring_and_Field
  7788 because they were subsumed by lemmas xyz.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7789 
  7790 * Theory Library/Commutative_Ring: switched from recdef to function
  7791 package; constants add, mul, pow now curried.  Infix syntax for
  7792 algebraic operations.
  7793 
  7794 * Dropped redundant lemma def_imp_eq in favor of meta_eq_to_obj_eq.
  7795 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7796 
  7797 * Dropped redundant lemma if_def2 in favor of if_bool_eq_conj.
  7798 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7799 
  7800 * HOL/records: generalised field-update to take a function on the
  7801 field rather than the new value: r(|A := x|) is translated to A_update
  7802 (K x) r The K-combinator that is internally used is called K_record.
  7803 INCOMPATIBILITY: Usage of the plain update functions has to be
  7804 adapted.
  7805 
  7806 * Class "semiring_0" now contains annihilation axioms x * 0 = 0 and 0
  7807 * x = 0, which are required for a semiring.  Richer structures do not
  7808 inherit from semiring_0 anymore, because this property is a theorem
  7809 there, not an axiom.  INCOMPATIBILITY: In instances of semiring_0,
  7810 there is more to prove, but this is mostly trivial.
  7811 
  7812 * Class "recpower" is generalized to arbitrary monoids, not just
  7813 commutative semirings.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to incorporate
  7814 commutativity or semiring properties additionally.
  7815 
  7816 * Constant "List.list_all2" in List.thy now uses authentic syntax.
  7817 INCOMPATIBILITY: translations containing list_all2 may go wrong,
  7818 better use 'abbreviation'.
  7819 
  7820 * Renamed constant "List.op mem" to "List.member".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7821 
  7822 * Numeral syntax: type 'bin' which was a mere type copy of 'int' has
  7823 been abandoned in favour of plain 'int'.  INCOMPATIBILITY --
  7824 significant changes for setting up numeral syntax for types:
  7825   - New constants Numeral.pred and Numeral.succ instead
  7826       of former Numeral.bin_pred and Numeral.bin_succ.
  7827   - Use integer operations instead of bin_add, bin_mult and so on.
  7828   - Numeral simplification theorems named Numeral.numeral_simps instead of Bin_simps.
  7829   - ML structure Bin_Simprocs now named Int_Numeral_Base_Simprocs.
  7830 
  7831 See src/HOL/Integ/IntArith.thy for an example setup.
  7832 
  7833 * Command 'normal_form' computes the normal form of a term that may
  7834 contain free variables.  For example ``normal_form "rev [a, b, c]"''
  7835 produces ``[b, c, a]'' (without proof).  This command is suitable for
  7836 heavy-duty computations because the functions are compiled to ML
  7837 first.  Correspondingly, a method "normalization" is provided.  See
  7838 further src/HOL/ex/NormalForm.thy and src/Tools/nbe.ML.
  7839 
  7840 * Alternative iff syntax "A <-> B" for equality on bool (with priority
  7841 25 like -->); output depends on the "iff" print_mode, the default is
  7842 "A = B" (with priority 50).
  7843 
  7844 * Relations less (<) and less_eq (<=) are also available on type bool.
  7845 Modified syntax to disallow nesting without explicit parentheses,
  7846 e.g. "(x < y) < z" or "x < (y < z)", but NOT "x < y < z".  Potential
  7847 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7848 
  7849 * "LEAST x:A. P" expands to "LEAST x. x:A & P" (input only).
  7850 
  7851 * Relation composition operator "op O" now has precedence 75 and binds
  7852 stronger than union and intersection. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7853 
  7854 * The old set interval syntax "{m..n(}" (and relatives) has been
  7855 removed.  Use "{m..<n}" (and relatives) instead.
  7856 
  7857 * In the context of the assumption "~(s = t)" the Simplifier rewrites
  7858 "t = s" to False (by simproc "neq").  INCOMPATIBILITY, consider using
  7859 ``declare [[simproc del: neq]]''.
  7860 
  7861 * Simplifier: "m dvd n" where m and n are numbers is evaluated to
  7862 True/False.
  7863 
  7864 * Theorem Cons_eq_map_conv no longer declared as "simp".
  7865 
  7866 * Theorem setsum_mult renamed to setsum_right_distrib.
  7867 
  7868 * Prefer ex1I over ex_ex1I in single-step reasoning, e.g. by the
  7869 ``rule'' method.
  7870 
  7871 * Reimplemented methods "sat" and "satx", with several improvements:
  7872 goals no longer need to be stated as "<prems> ==> False", equivalences
  7873 (i.e. "=" on type bool) are handled, variable names of the form
  7874 "lit_<n>" are no longer reserved, significant speedup.
  7875 
  7876 * Methods "sat" and "satx" can now replay MiniSat proof traces.
  7877 zChaff is still supported as well.
  7878 
  7879 * 'inductive' and 'datatype': provide projections of mutual rules,
  7880 bundled as foo_bar.inducts;
  7881 
  7882 * Library: moved theories Parity, GCD, Binomial, Infinite_Set to
  7883 Library.
  7884 
  7885 * Library: moved theory Accessible_Part to main HOL.
  7886 
  7887 * Library: added theory Coinductive_List of potentially infinite lists
  7888 as greatest fixed-point.
  7889 
  7890 * Library: added theory AssocList which implements (finite) maps as
  7891 association lists.
  7892 
  7893 * Method "evaluation" solves goals (i.e. a boolean expression)
  7894 efficiently by compiling it to ML.  The goal is "proved" (via an
  7895 oracle) if it evaluates to True.
  7896 
  7897 * Linear arithmetic now splits certain operators (e.g. min, max, abs)
  7898 also when invoked by the simplifier.  This results in the Simplifier
  7899 being more powerful on arithmetic goals.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7900 Configuration option fast_arith_split_limit=0 recovers the old
  7901 behavior.
  7902 
  7903 * Support for hex (0x20) and binary (0b1001) numerals.
  7904 
  7905 * New method: reify eqs (t), where eqs are equations for an
  7906 interpretation I :: 'a list => 'b => 'c and t::'c is an optional
  7907 parameter, computes a term s::'b and a list xs::'a list and proves the
  7908 theorem I xs s = t. This is also known as reification or quoting. The
  7909 resulting theorem is applied to the subgoal to substitute t with I xs
  7910 s.  If t is omitted, the subgoal itself is reified.
  7911 
  7912 * New method: reflection corr_thm eqs (t). The parameters eqs and (t)
  7913 are as explained above. corr_thm is a theorem for I vs (f t) = I vs t,
  7914 where f is supposed to be a computable function (in the sense of code
  7915 generattion). The method uses reify to compute s and xs as above then
  7916 applies corr_thm and uses normalization by evaluation to "prove" f s =
  7917 r and finally gets the theorem t = r, which is again applied to the
  7918 subgoal. An Example is available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy.
  7919 
  7920 * Reflection: Automatic reification now handels binding, an example is
  7921 available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy
  7922 
  7923 * HOL-Statespace: ``State Spaces: The Locale Way'' introduces a
  7924 command 'statespace' that is similar to 'record', but introduces an
  7925 abstract specification based on the locale infrastructure instead of
  7926 HOL types.  This leads to extra flexibility in composing state spaces,
  7927 in particular multiple inheritance and renaming of components.
  7928 
  7929 
  7930 *** HOL-Complex ***
  7931 
  7932 * Hyperreal: Functions root and sqrt are now defined on negative real
  7933 inputs so that root n (- x) = - root n x and sqrt (- x) = - sqrt x.
  7934 Nonnegativity side conditions have been removed from many lemmas, so
  7935 that more subgoals may now be solved by simplification; potential
  7936 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7937 
  7938 * Real: new type classes formalize real normed vector spaces and
  7939 algebras, using new overloaded constants scaleR :: real => 'a => 'a
  7940 and norm :: 'a => real.
  7941 
  7942 * Real: constant of_real :: real => 'a::real_algebra_1 injects from
  7943 reals into other types. The overloaded constant Reals :: 'a set is now
  7944 defined as range of_real; potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7945 
  7946 * Real: proper support for ML code generation, including 'quickcheck'.
  7947 Reals are implemented as arbitrary precision rationals.
  7948 
  7949 * Hyperreal: Several constants that previously worked only for the
  7950 reals have been generalized, so they now work over arbitrary vector
  7951 spaces. Type annotations may need to be added in some cases; potential
  7952 INCOMPATIBILITY.

  7968   exp            :: 'a::{recpower,real_normed_field,banach} => 'a
  7969 
  7970 * Complex: Some complex-specific constants are now abbreviations for
  7971 overloaded ones: complex_of_real = of_real, cmod = norm, hcmod =
  7972 hnorm.  Other constants have been entirely removed in favor of the
  7973 polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7974

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

  8698   mult_neg_le        now named mult_nonpos_nonpos
  8699 
  8700 * The following lemmas in Ring_and_Field have been added to the simplifier:
  8701 
  8702      zero_le_square
  8703      not_square_less_zero
  8704 
  8705   The following lemmas have been deleted from Real/RealPow:

  8712      abs_realpow_two
  8713      realpow_two_abs
  8714 
  8715 * Theory Parity: added rules for simplifying exponents.
  8716 
  8717 * Theory List:
  8718 
  8719 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  8720 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8721 
  8722   list_all_Nil       now named list_all.simps(1)
  8723   list_all_Cons      now named list_all.simps(2)
  8724   list_all_conv      now named list_all_iff
  8725   set_mem_eq         now named mem_iff
  8726 
  8727 * Theories SetsAndFunctions and BigO (see HOL/Library) support
  8728 asymptotic "big O" calculations.  See the notes in BigO.thy.
  8729 
  8730 
  8731 *** HOL-Complex ***
  8732 
  8733 * Theory RealDef: better support for embedding natural numbers and
  8734 integers in the reals.
  8735 
  8736 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  8737 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8738 
  8739   exp_ge_add_one_self  now requires no hypotheses
  8740   real_of_int_add      reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8741   real_of_int_minus    reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8742   real_of_int_diff     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8743   real_of_int_mult     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8744 
  8745 * Theory RComplete: expanded support for floor and ceiling functions.
  8746 
  8747 * Theory Ln is new, with properties of the natural logarithm
  8748 
  8749 * Hyperreal: There is a new type constructor "star" for making
  8750 nonstandard types.  The old type names are now type synonyms:
  8751 
  8752   hypreal = real star
  8753   hypnat = nat star
  8754   hcomplex = complex star
  8755 
  8756 * Hyperreal: Many groups of similarly-defined constants have been
  8757 replaced by polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8758 
  8759   star_of <-- hypreal_of_real, hypnat_of_nat, hcomplex_of_complex

  8771   InternalFuns <-- InternalNatFuns, InternalNatFuns2, Internal{C,RC,CR}Funs
  8772 
  8773 * Hyperreal: Many type-specific theorems have been removed in favor of
  8774 theorems specific to various axiomatic type classes (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8775 
  8776   add_commute <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_commute
  8777   add_assoc   <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_assocs

  8799   add_nonneg_nonneg <-- hypreal_le_add_order
  8800 
  8801 * Hyperreal: Separate theorems having to do with type-specific
  8802 versions of constants have been merged into theorems that apply to the
  8803 new polymorphic constants (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8804 
  8805   STAR_UNIV_set <-- {STAR_real,NatStar_real,STARC_complex}_set
  8806   STAR_empty_set <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_empty_set

  8893 
  8894 * Hyperreal: new method "transfer" that implements the transfer
  8895 principle of nonstandard analysis. With a subgoal that mentions
  8896 nonstandard types like "'a star", the command "apply transfer"
  8897 replaces it with an equivalent one that mentions only standard types.
  8898 To be successful, all free variables must have standard types; non-
  8899 standard variables must have explicit universal quantifiers.
  8900 
  8901 * Hyperreal: A theory of Taylor series.
  8902 
  8903 
  8904 *** HOLCF ***
  8905 
  8906 * Discontinued special version of 'constdefs' (which used to support
  8907 continuous functions) in favor of the general Pure one with full
  8908 type-inference.
  8909 
  8910 * New simplification procedure for solving continuity conditions; it
  8911 is much faster on terms with many nested lambda abstractions (cubic
  8912 instead of exponential time).
  8913 
  8914 * New syntax for domain package: selector names are now optional.
  8915 Parentheses should be omitted unless argument is lazy, for example:
  8916 
  8917   domain 'a stream = cons "'a" (lazy "'a stream")
  8918 
  8919 * New command 'fixrec' for defining recursive functions with pattern
  8920 matching; defining multiple functions with mutual recursion is also
  8921 supported.  Patterns may include the constants cpair, spair, up, sinl,
  8922 sinr, or any data constructor defined by the domain package. The given
  8923 equations are proven as rewrite rules. See HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  8924 syntax and examples.
  8925 
  8926 * New commands 'cpodef' and 'pcpodef' for defining predicate subtypes
  8927 of cpo and pcpo types. Syntax is exactly like the 'typedef' command,
  8928 but the proof obligation additionally includes an admissibility
  8929 requirement. The packages generate instances of class cpo or pcpo,
  8930 with continuity and strictness theorems for Rep and Abs.
  8931 
  8932 * HOLCF: Many theorems have been renamed according to a more standard naming
  8933 scheme (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8934 
  8935   foo_inject:  "foo$x = foo$y ==> x = y"
  8936   foo_eq:      "(foo$x = foo$y) = (x = y)"
  8937   foo_less:    "(foo$x << foo$y) = (x << y)"
  8938   foo_strict:  "foo$UU = UU"
  8939   foo_defined: "... ==> foo$x ~= UU"
  8940   foo_defined_iff: "(foo$x = UU) = (x = UU)"
  8941 
  8942 
  8943 *** ZF ***
  8944 
  8945 * ZF/ex: theories Group and Ring provide examples in abstract algebra,
  8946 including the First Isomorphism Theorem (on quotienting by the kernel
  8947 of a homomorphism).
  8948 
  8949 * ZF/Simplifier: install second copy of type solver that actually
  8950 makes use of TC rules declared to Isar proof contexts (or locales);
  8951 the old version is still required for ML proof scripts.
  8952 
  8953 
  8954 *** Cube ***
  8955 
  8956 * Converted to Isar theory format; use locales instead of axiomatic
  8957 theories.
  8958 
  8959 
  8960 *** ML ***
  8961 
  8962 * Pure/library.ML: added ##>, ##>>, #>> -- higher-order counterparts
  8963 for ||>, ||>>, |>>,
  8964 
  8965 * Pure/library.ML no longer defines its own option datatype, but uses
  8966 that of the SML basis, which has constructors NONE and SOME instead of
  8967 None and Some, as well as exception Option.Option instead of OPTION.
  8968 The functions the, if_none, is_some, is_none have been adapted
  8969 accordingly, while Option.map replaces apsome.
  8970 
  8971 * Pure/library.ML: the exception LIST has been given up in favour of
  8972 the standard exceptions Empty and Subscript, as well as
  8973 Library.UnequalLengths.  Function like Library.hd and Library.tl are
  8974 superceded by the standard hd and tl functions etc.
  8975 
  8976 A number of basic list functions are no longer exported to the ML
  8977 toplevel, as they are variants of predefined functions.  The following
  8978 suggests how one can translate existing code:
  8979 
  8980     rev_append xs ys = List.revAppend (xs, ys)
  8981     nth_elem (i, xs) = List.nth (xs, i)
  8982     last_elem xs = List.last xs
  8983     flat xss = List.concat xss
  8984     seq fs = List.app fs
  8985     partition P xs = List.partition P xs
  8986     mapfilter f xs = List.mapPartial f xs
  8987 
  8988 * Pure/library.ML: several combinators for linear functional
  8989 transformations, notably reverse application and composition:
  8990 
  8991   x |> f                f #> g
  8992   (x, y) |-> f          f #-> g
  8993 
  8994 * Pure/library.ML: introduced/changed precedence of infix operators:
  8995 
  8996   infix 1 |> |-> ||> ||>> |>> |>>> #> #->;
  8997   infix 2 ?;
  8998   infix 3 o oo ooo oooo;
  8999   infix 4 ~~ upto downto;
  9000 
  9001 Maybe INCOMPATIBILITY when any of those is used in conjunction with other
  9002 infix operators.
  9003 
  9004 * Pure/library.ML: natural list combinators fold, fold_rev, and
  9005 fold_map support linear functional transformations and nesting.  For
  9006 example:
  9007 
  9008   fold f [x1, ..., xN] y =
  9009     y |> f x1 |> ... |> f xN
  9010 
  9011   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] y =
  9012     y |> fold f xs1 |> ... |> fold f xsN
  9013 
  9014   fold f [x1, ..., xN] =
  9015     f x1 #> ... #> f xN
  9016 
  9017   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] =
  9018     fold f xs1 #> ... #> fold f xsN
  9019 
  9020 * Pure/library.ML: the following selectors on type 'a option are
  9021 available:
  9022 
  9023   the:               'a option -> 'a  (*partial*)
  9024   these:             'a option -> 'a  where 'a = 'b list
  9025   the_default: 'a -> 'a option -> 'a
  9026   the_list:          'a option -> 'a list
  9027 
  9028 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  9029 basic operations for association lists, following natural argument
  9030 order; moreover the explicit equality predicate passed here avoids
  9031 potentially expensive polymorphic runtime equality checks.
  9032 The old functions may be expressed as follows:
  9033 
  9034   assoc = uncurry (AList.lookup (op =))
  9035   assocs = these oo AList.lookup (op =)
  9036   overwrite = uncurry (AList.update (op =)) o swap
  9037 
  9038 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  9039 
  9040   val make: ('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> ('a * 'b) list
  9041   val find: ('a * 'b -> bool) -> ('c * 'b) list -> 'a -> 'c list
  9042 
  9043 replacing make_keylist and keyfilter (occassionally used)
  9044 Naive rewrites:
  9045 
  9046   make_keylist = AList.make
  9047   keyfilter = AList.find (op =)
  9048 
  9049 * eq_fst and eq_snd now take explicit equality parameter, thus
  9050   avoiding eqtypes. Naive rewrites:
  9051 
  9052     eq_fst = eq_fst (op =)
  9053     eq_snd = eq_snd (op =)
  9054 
  9055 * Removed deprecated apl and apr (rarely used).
  9056   Naive rewrites:
  9057 
  9058     apl (n, op) =>>= curry op n
  9059     apr (op, m) =>>= fn n => op (n, m)
  9060 
  9061 * Pure/General: structure OrdList (cf. Pure/General/ord_list.ML)
  9062 provides a reasonably efficient light-weight implementation of sets as
  9063 lists.
  9064 
  9065 * Pure/General: generic tables (cf. Pure/General/table.ML) provide a
  9066 few new operations; existing lookup and update are now curried to
  9067 follow natural argument order (for use with fold etc.);
  9068 INCOMPATIBILITY, use (uncurry Symtab.lookup) etc. as last resort.
  9069 
  9070 * Pure/General: output via the Isabelle channels of
  9071 writeln/warning/error etc. is now passed through Output.output, with a
  9072 hook for arbitrary transformations depending on the print_mode
  9073 (cf. Output.add_mode -- the first active mode that provides a output
  9074 function wins).  Already formatted output may be embedded into further
  9075 text via Output.raw; the result of Pretty.string_of/str_of and derived
  9076 functions (string_of_term/cterm/thm etc.) is already marked raw to
  9077 accommodate easy composition of diagnostic messages etc.  Programmers
  9078 rarely need to care about Output.output or Output.raw at all, with
  9079 some notable exceptions: Output.output is required when bypassing the
  9080 standard channels (writeln etc.), or in token translations to produce
  9081 properly formatted results; Output.raw is required when capturing
  9082 already output material that will eventually be presented to the user
  9083 a second time.  For the default print mode, both Output.output and
  9084 Output.raw have no effect.
  9085 
  9086 * Pure/General: Output.time_accumulator NAME creates an operator ('a
  9087 -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'b to measure runtime and count invocations; the
  9088 cumulative results are displayed at the end of a batch session.
  9089 
  9090 * Pure/General: File.sysify_path and File.quote_sysify path have been
  9091 replaced by File.platform_path and File.shell_path (with appropriate
  9092 hooks).  This provides a clean interface for unusual systems where the
  9093 internal and external process view of file names are different.
  9094 
  9095 * Pure: more efficient orders for basic syntactic entities: added
  9096 fast_string_ord, fast_indexname_ord, fast_term_ord; changed sort_ord
  9097 and typ_ord to use fast_string_ord and fast_indexname_ord (term_ord is
  9098 NOT affected); structures Symtab, Vartab, Typtab, Termtab use the fast
  9099 orders now -- potential INCOMPATIBILITY for code that depends on a
  9100 particular order for Symtab.keys, Symtab.dest, etc. (consider using
  9101 Library.sort_strings on result).
  9102 
  9103 * Pure/term.ML: combinators fold_atyps, fold_aterms, fold_term_types,
  9104 fold_types traverse types/terms from left to right, observing natural
  9105 argument order.  Supercedes previous foldl_XXX versions, add_frees,
  9106 add_vars etc. have been adapted as well: INCOMPATIBILITY.
  9107 
  9108 * Pure: name spaces have been refined, with significant changes of the
  9109 internal interfaces -- INCOMPATIBILITY.  Renamed cond_extern(_table)
  9110 to extern(_table).  The plain name entry path is superceded by a
  9111 general 'naming' context, which also includes the 'policy' to produce
  9112 a fully qualified name and external accesses of a fully qualified
  9113 name; NameSpace.extend is superceded by context dependent
  9114 Sign.declare_name.  Several theory and proof context operations modify
  9115 the naming context.  Especially note Theory.restore_naming and
  9116 ProofContext.restore_naming to get back to a sane state; note that
  9117 Theory.add_path is no longer sufficient to recover from
  9118 Theory.absolute_path in particular.
  9119 
  9120 * Pure: new flags short_names (default false) and unique_names
  9121 (default true) for controlling output of qualified names.  If
  9122 short_names is set, names are printed unqualified.  If unique_names is
  9123 reset, the name prefix is reduced to the minimum required to achieve
  9124 the original result when interning again, even if there is an overlap
  9125 with earlier declarations.
  9126 
  9127 * Pure/TheoryDataFun: change of the argument structure; 'prep_ext' is
  9128 now 'extend', and 'merge' gets an additional Pretty.pp argument
  9129 (useful for printing error messages).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  9130 
  9131 * Pure: major reorganization of the theory context.  Type Sign.sg and
  9132 Theory.theory are now identified, referring to the universal
  9133 Context.theory (see Pure/context.ML).  Actual signature and theory
  9134 content is managed as theory data.  The old code and interfaces were
  9135 spread over many files and structures; the new arrangement introduces
  9136 considerable INCOMPATIBILITY to gain more clarity:
  9137 
  9138   Context -- theory management operations (name, identity, inclusion,
  9139     parents, ancestors, merge, etc.), plus generic theory data;
  9140 
  9141   Sign -- logical signature and syntax operations (declaring consts,
  9142     types, etc.), plus certify/read for common entities;
  9143 
  9144   Theory -- logical theory operations (stating axioms, definitions,
  9145     oracles), plus a copy of logical signature operations (consts,
  9146     types, etc.); also a few basic management operations (Theory.copy,
  9147     Theory.merge, etc.)
  9148 
  9149 The most basic sign_of operations (Theory.sign_of, Thm.sign_of_thm
  9150 etc.) as well as the sign field in Thm.rep_thm etc. have been retained
  9151 for convenience -- they merely return the theory.
  9152 
  9153 * Pure: type Type.tsig is superceded by theory in most interfaces.
  9154 
  9155 * Pure: the Isar proof context type is already defined early in Pure
  9156 as Context.proof (note that ProofContext.context and Proof.context are
  9157 aliases, where the latter is the preferred name).  This enables other
  9158 Isabelle components to refer to that type even before Isar is present.
  9159 
  9160 * Pure/sign/theory: discontinued named name spaces (i.e. classK,
  9161 typeK, constK, axiomK, oracleK), but provide explicit operations for
  9162 any of these kinds.  For example, Sign.intern typeK is now
  9163 Sign.intern_type, Theory.hide_space Sign.typeK is now
  9164 Theory.hide_types.  Also note that former
  9165 Theory.hide_classes/types/consts are now
  9166 Theory.hide_classes_i/types_i/consts_i, while the non '_i' versions
  9167 internalize their arguments!  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  9168 
  9169 * Pure: get_thm interface (of PureThy and ProofContext) expects
  9170 datatype thmref (with constructors Name and NameSelection) instead of
  9171 plain string -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9172 
  9173 * Pure: cases produced by proof methods specify options, where NONE
  9174 means to remove case bindings -- INCOMPATIBILITY in
  9175 (RAW_)METHOD_CASES.
  9176 
  9177 * Pure: the following operations retrieve axioms or theorems from a
  9178 theory node or theory hierarchy, respectively:
  9179 
  9180   Theory.axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  9181   Theory.all_axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  9182   PureThy.thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  9183   PureThy.all_thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  9184 
  9185 * Pure: print_tac now outputs the goal through the trace channel.
  9186 
  9187 * Isar toplevel: improved diagnostics, mostly for Poly/ML only.
  9188 Reference Toplevel.debug (default false) controls detailed printing
  9189 and tracing of low-level exceptions; Toplevel.profiling (default 0)
  9190 controls execution profiling -- set to 1 for time and 2 for space
  9191 (both increase the runtime).
  9192 
  9193 * Isar session: The initial use of ROOT.ML is now always timed,
  9194 i.e. the log will show the actual process times, in contrast to the
  9195 elapsed wall-clock time that the outer shell wrapper produces.
  9196 
  9197 * Simplifier: improved handling of bound variables (nameless
  9198 representation, avoid allocating new strings).  Simprocs that invoke
  9199 the Simplifier recursively should use Simplifier.inherit_bounds to
  9200 avoid local name clashes.  Failure to do so produces warnings
  9201 "Simplifier: renamed bound variable ..."; set Simplifier.debug_bounds
  9202 for further details.
  9203 
  9204 * ML functions legacy_bindings and use_legacy_bindings produce ML fact
  9205 bindings for all theorems stored within a given theory; this may help
  9206 in porting non-Isar theories to Isar ones, while keeping ML proof
  9207 scripts for the time being.
  9208 
  9209 * ML operator HTML.with_charset specifies the charset begin used for
  9210 generated HTML files.  For example:
  9211 
  9212   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Hebrew";
  9213   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Chinese";
  9214 
  9215 
  9216 *** System ***
  9217 
  9218 * Allow symlinks to all proper Isabelle executables (Isabelle,
  9219 isabelle, isatool etc.).
  9220 
  9221 * ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT setting specifies preferred document format (for
  9222 isatool doc, isatool mkdir, display_drafts etc.).
  9223 
  9224 * isatool usedir: option -f allows specification of the ML file to be
  9225 used by Isabelle; default is ROOT.ML.
  9226 
  9227 * New isatool version outputs the version identifier of the Isabelle
  9228 distribution being used.
  9229 
  9230 * HOL: new isatool dimacs2hol converts files in DIMACS CNF format
  9231 (containing Boolean satisfiability problems) into Isabelle/HOL
  9232 theories.
  9233 
  9234 
  9235 
  9236 New in Isabelle2004 (April 2004)
  9237 --------------------------------
  9238 
  9239 *** General ***
  9240 
  9241 * Provers/order.ML:  new efficient reasoner for partial and linear orders.
  9242   Replaces linorder.ML.
  9243 
  9244 * Pure: Greek letters (except small lambda, \<lambda>), as well as Gothic
  9245   (\<aa>...\<zz>\<AA>...\<ZZ>), calligraphic (\<A>...\<Z>), and Euler
  9246   (\<a>...\<z>), are now considered normal letters, and can therefore
  9247   be used anywhere where an ASCII letter (a...zA...Z) has until
  9248   now. COMPATIBILITY: This obviously changes the parsing of some
  9249   terms, especially where a symbol has been used as a binder, say
  9250   '\<Pi>x. ...', which is now a type error since \<Pi>x will be parsed
  9251   as an identifier.  Fix it by inserting a space around former
  9252   symbols.  Call 'isatool fixgreek' to try to fix parsing errors in
  9253   existing theory and ML files.
  9254 
  9255 * Pure: Macintosh and Windows line-breaks are now allowed in theory files.
  9256 
  9257 * Pure: single letter sub/superscripts (\<^isub> and \<^isup>) are now
  9258   allowed in identifiers. Similar to Greek letters \<^isub> is now considered
  9259   a normal (but invisible) letter. For multiple letter subscripts repeat
  9260   \<^isub> like this: x\<^isub>1\<^isub>2.
  9261 
  9262 * Pure: There are now sub-/superscripts that can span more than one
  9263   character. Text between \<^bsub> and \<^esub> is set in subscript in
  9264   ProofGeneral and LaTeX, text between \<^bsup> and \<^esup> in
  9265   superscript. The new control characters are not identifier parts.
  9266 
  9267 * Pure: Control-symbols of the form \<^raw:...> will literally print the
  9268   content of "..." to the latex file instead of \isacntrl... . The "..."
  9269   may consist of any printable characters excluding the end bracket >.
  9270 
  9271 * Pure: Using new Isar command "finalconsts" (or the ML functions
  9272   Theory.add_finals or Theory.add_finals_i) it is now possible to
  9273   declare constants "final", which prevents their being given a definition
  9274   later.  It is useful for constants whose behaviour is fixed axiomatically
  9275   rather than definitionally, such as the meta-logic connectives.
  9276 
  9277 * Pure: 'instance' now handles general arities with general sorts
  9278   (i.e. intersections of classes),
  9279 
  9280 * Presentation: generated HTML now uses a CSS style sheet to make layout
  9281   (somewhat) independent of content. It is copied from lib/html/isabelle.css.
  9282   It can be changed to alter the colors/layout of generated pages.
  9283 
  9284 
  9285 *** Isar ***
  9286 
  9287 * Tactic emulation methods rule_tac, erule_tac, drule_tac, frule_tac,
  9288   cut_tac, subgoal_tac and thin_tac:
  9289   - Now understand static (Isar) contexts.  As a consequence, users of Isar
  9290     locales are no longer forced to write Isar proof scripts.
  9291     For details see Isar Reference Manual, paragraph 4.3.2: Further tactic
  9292     emulations.
  9293   - INCOMPATIBILITY: names of variables to be instantiated may no
  9294     longer be enclosed in quotes.  Instead, precede variable name with `?'.
  9295     This is consistent with the instantiation attribute "where".
  9296 
  9297 * Attributes "where" and "of":
  9298   - Now take type variables of instantiated theorem into account when reading
  9299     the instantiation string.  This fixes a bug that caused instantiated
  9300     theorems to have too special types in some circumstances.
  9301   - "where" permits explicit instantiations of type variables.
  9302 
  9303 * Calculation commands "moreover" and "also" no longer interfere with
  9304   current facts ("this"), admitting arbitrary combinations with "then"
  9305   and derived forms.
  9306 
  9307 * Locales:
  9308   - Goal statements involving the context element "includes" no longer
  9309     generate theorems with internal delta predicates (those ending on
  9310     "_axioms") in the premise.
  9311     Resolve particular premise with <locale>.intro to obtain old form.
  9312   - Fixed bug in type inference ("unify_frozen") that prevented mix of target
  9313     specification and "includes" elements in goal statement.
  9314   - Rule sets <locale>.intro and <locale>.axioms no longer declared as
  9315     [intro?] and [elim?] (respectively) by default.
  9316   - Experimental command for instantiation of locales in proof contexts:
  9317         instantiate <label>[<attrs>]: <loc>
  9318     Instantiates locale <loc> and adds all its theorems to the current context
  9319     taking into account their attributes.  Label and attrs are optional
  9320     modifiers, like in theorem declarations.  If present, names of
  9321     instantiated theorems are qualified with <label>, and the attributes
  9322     <attrs> are applied after any attributes these theorems might have already.
  9323       If the locale has assumptions, a chained fact of the form
  9324     "<loc> t1 ... tn" is expected from which instantiations of the parameters
  9325     are derived.  The command does not support old-style locales declared
  9326     with "locale (open)".
  9327       A few (very simple) examples can be found in FOL/ex/LocaleInst.thy.
  9328 
  9329 * HOL: Tactic emulation methods induct_tac and case_tac understand static
  9330   (Isar) contexts.
  9331 
  9332 
  9333 *** HOL ***
  9334 
  9335 * Proof import: new image HOL4 contains the imported library from
  9336   the HOL4 system with about 2500 theorems. It is imported by
  9337   replaying proof terms produced by HOL4 in Isabelle. The HOL4 image
  9338   can be used like any other Isabelle image.  See
  9339   HOL/Import/HOL/README for more information.
  9340 
  9341 * Simplifier:
  9342   - Much improved handling of linear and partial orders.
  9343     Reasoners for linear and partial orders are set up for type classes
  9344     "linorder" and "order" respectively, and are added to the default simpset
  9345     as solvers.  This means that the simplifier can build transitivity chains
  9346     to solve goals from the assumptions.
  9347   - INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break occasionally.  Typically, applications
  9348     of blast or auto after simplification become unnecessary because the goal
  9349     is solved by simplification already.
  9350 
  9351 * Numerics: new theory Ring_and_Field contains over 250 basic numerical laws,
  9352     all proved in axiomatic type classes for semirings, rings and fields.
  9353 
  9354 * Numerics:
  9355   - Numeric types (nat, int, and in HOL-Complex rat, real, complex, etc.) are
  9356     now formalized using the Ring_and_Field theory mentioned above.
  9357   - INCOMPATIBILITY: simplification and arithmetic behaves somewhat differently
  9358     than before, because now they are set up once in a generic manner.
  9359   - INCOMPATIBILITY: many type-specific arithmetic laws have gone.
  9360     Look for the general versions in Ring_and_Field (and Power if they concern
  9361     exponentiation).
  9362 
  9363 * Type "rat" of the rational numbers is now available in HOL-Complex.
  9364 
  9365 * Records:
  9366   - Record types are now by default printed with their type abbreviation
  9367     instead of the list of all field types. This can be configured via
  9368     the reference "print_record_type_abbr".
  9369   - Simproc "record_upd_simproc" for simplification of multiple updates added
  9370     (not enabled by default).
  9371   - Simproc "record_ex_sel_eq_simproc" to simplify EX x. sel r = x resp.
  9372     EX x. x = sel r to True (not enabled by default).
  9373   - Tactic "record_split_simp_tac" to split and simplify records added.
  9374 
  9375 * 'specification' command added, allowing for definition by
  9376   specification.  There is also an 'ax_specification' command that
  9377   introduces the new constants axiomatically.
  9378 
  9379 * arith(_tac) is now able to generate counterexamples for reals as well.
  9380 
  9381 * HOL-Algebra: new locale "ring" for non-commutative rings.
  9382 
  9383 * HOL-ex: InductiveInvariant_examples illustrates advanced recursive function
  9384   definitions, thanks to Sava Krsti\'{c} and John Matthews.
  9385 
  9386 * HOL-Matrix: a first theory for matrices in HOL with an application of
  9387   matrix theory to linear programming.
  9388 
  9389 * Unions and Intersections:
  9390   The latex output syntax of UN and INT has been changed
  9391   from "\Union x \in A. B" to "\Union_{x \in A} B"
  9392   i.e. the index formulae has become a subscript.
  9393   Similarly for "\Union x. B", and for \Inter instead of \Union.
  9394 
  9395 * Unions and Intersections over Intervals:
  9396   There is new short syntax "UN i<=n. A" for "UN i:{0..n}. A". There is
  9397   also an x-symbol version with subscripts "\<Union>\<^bsub>i <= n\<^esub>. A"
  9398   like in normal math, and corresponding versions for < and for intersection.
  9399 
  9400 * HOL/List: Ordering "lexico" is renamed "lenlex" and the standard
  9401   lexicographic dictonary ordering has been added as "lexord".
  9402 
  9403 * ML: the legacy theory structures Int and List have been removed. They had
  9404   conflicted with ML Basis Library structures having the same names.
  9405 
  9406 * 'refute' command added to search for (finite) countermodels.  Only works
  9407   for a fragment of HOL.  The installation of an external SAT solver is
  9408   highly recommended.  See "HOL/Refute.thy" for details.
  9409 
  9410 * 'quickcheck' command: Allows to find counterexamples by evaluating
  9411   formulae under an assignment of free variables to random values.
  9412   In contrast to 'refute', it can deal with inductive datatypes,
  9413   but cannot handle quantifiers. See "HOL/ex/Quickcheck_Examples.thy"
  9414   for examples.
  9415 
  9416 
  9417 *** HOLCF ***
  9418 
  9419 * Streams now come with concatenation and are part of the HOLCF image
  9420 
  9421 
  9422 
  9423 New in Isabelle2003 (May 2003)
  9424 ------------------------------
  9425 
  9426 *** General ***
  9427 
  9428 * Provers/simplifier:
  9429 
  9430   - Completely reimplemented method simp (ML: Asm_full_simp_tac):
  9431     Assumptions are now subject to complete mutual simplification,
  9432     not just from left to right. The simplifier now preserves
  9433     the order of assumptions.
  9434 
  9435     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  9436 
  9437     -- simp sometimes diverges where the old version did
  9438        not, e.g. invoking simp on the goal
  9439 
  9440         [| P (f x); y = x; f x = f y |] ==> Q
  9441 
  9442        now gives rise to the infinite reduction sequence
  9443 
  9444         P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> P(f y) --(y = x)--> P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> ...
  9445 
  9446        Using "simp (asm_lr)" (ML: Asm_lr_simp_tac) instead often solves this
  9447        kind of problem.
  9448 
  9449     -- Tactics combining classical reasoner and simplification (such as auto)
  9450        are also affected by this change, because many of them rely on
  9451        simp. They may sometimes diverge as well or yield a different numbers
  9452        of subgoals. Try to use e.g. force, fastsimp, or safe instead of auto
  9453        in case of problems. Sometimes subsequent calls to the classical
  9454        reasoner will fail because a preceeding call to the simplifier too
  9455        eagerly simplified the goal, e.g. deleted redundant premises.
  9456 
  9457   - The simplifier trace now shows the names of the applied rewrite rules
  9458 
  9459   - You can limit the number of recursive invocations of the simplifier
  9460     during conditional rewriting (where the simplifie tries to solve the
  9461     conditions before applying the rewrite rule):
  9462     ML "simp_depth_limit := n"
  9463     where n is an integer. Thus you can force termination where previously
  9464     the simplifier would diverge.
  9465 
  9466   - Accepts free variables as head terms in congruence rules.  Useful in Isar.
  9467 
  9468   - No longer aborts on failed congruence proof.  Instead, the
  9469     congruence is ignored.
  9470 
  9471 * Pure: New generic framework for extracting programs from constructive
  9472   proofs. See HOL/Extraction.thy for an example instantiation, as well
  9473   as HOL/Extraction for some case studies.
  9474 
  9475 * Pure: The main goal of the proof state is no longer shown by default, only
  9476 the subgoals. This behaviour is controlled by a new flag.
  9477    PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Settings -> Show Main Goal
  9478 (ML: Proof.show_main_goal).
  9479 
  9480 * Pure: You can find all matching introduction rules for subgoal 1, i.e. all
  9481 rules whose conclusion matches subgoal 1:
  9482       PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Show me -> matching rules
  9483 The rules are ordered by how closely they match the subgoal.
  9484 In particular, rules that solve a subgoal outright are displayed first
  9485 (or rather last, the way they are printed).
  9486 (ML: ProofGeneral.print_intros())
  9487 
  9488 * Pure: New flag trace_unify_fail causes unification to print
  9489 diagnostic information (PG: in trace buffer) when it fails. This is
  9490 useful for figuring out why single step proofs like rule, erule or
  9491 assumption failed.
  9492 
  9493 * Pure: Locale specifications now produce predicate definitions
  9494 according to the body of text (covering assumptions modulo local
  9495 definitions); predicate "loc_axioms" covers newly introduced text,
  9496 while "loc" is cumulative wrt. all included locale expressions; the
  9497 latter view is presented only on export into the global theory
  9498 context; potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use "(open)" option to fall back
  9499 on the old view without predicates;
  9500 
  9501 * Pure: predefined locales "var" and "struct" are useful for sharing
  9502 parameters (as in CASL, for example); just specify something like
  9503 ``var x + var y + struct M'' as import;
  9504 
  9505 * Pure: improved thms_containing: proper indexing of facts instead of
  9506 raw theorems; check validity of results wrt. current name space;
  9507 include local facts of proof configuration (also covers active
  9508 locales), cover fixed variables in index; may use "_" in term
  9509 specification; an optional limit for the number of printed facts may
  9510 be given (the default is 40);
  9511 
  9512 * Pure: disallow duplicate fact bindings within new-style theory files
  9513 (batch-mode only);
  9514 
  9515 * Provers: improved induct method: assumptions introduced by case
  9516 "foo" are split into "foo.hyps" (from the rule) and "foo.prems" (from
  9517 the goal statement); "foo" still refers to all facts collectively;
  9518 
  9519 * Provers: the function blast.overloaded has been removed: all constants
  9520 are regarded as potentially overloaded, which improves robustness in exchange
  9521 for slight decrease in efficiency;
  9522 
  9523 * Provers/linorder: New generic prover for transitivity reasoning over
  9524 linear orders.  Note: this prover is not efficient!
  9525 
  9526 * Isar: preview of problems to finish 'show' now produce an error
  9527 rather than just a warning (in interactive mode);
  9528 
  9529 
  9530 *** HOL ***
  9531 
  9532 * arith(_tac)
  9533 
  9534  - Produces a counter example if it cannot prove a goal.
  9535    Note that the counter example may be spurious if the goal is not a formula
  9536    of quantifier-free linear arithmetic.
  9537    In ProofGeneral the counter example appears in the trace buffer.
  9538 
  9539  - Knows about div k and mod k where k is a numeral of type nat or int.
  9540 
  9541  - Calls full Presburger arithmetic (by Amine Chaieb) if quantifier-free
  9542    linear arithmetic fails. This takes account of quantifiers and divisibility.
  9543    Presburger arithmetic can also be called explicitly via presburger(_tac).
  9544 
  9545 * simp's arithmetic capabilities have been enhanced a bit: it now
  9546 takes ~= in premises into account (by performing a case split);
  9547 
  9548 * simp reduces "m*(n div m) + n mod m" to n, even if the two summands
  9549 are distributed over a sum of terms;
  9550 
  9551 * New tactic "trans_tac" and method "trans" instantiate
  9552 Provers/linorder.ML for axclasses "order" and "linorder" (predicates
  9553 "<=", "<" and "=").
  9554 
  9555 * function INCOMPATIBILITIES: Pi-sets have been redefined and moved from main
  9556 HOL to Library/FuncSet; constant "Fun.op o" is now called "Fun.comp";
  9557 
  9558 * 'typedef' command has new option "open" to suppress the set
  9559 definition;
  9560 
  9561 * functions Min and Max on finite sets have been introduced (theory
  9562 Finite_Set);
  9563 
  9564 * attribute [symmetric] now works for relations as well; it turns
  9565 (x,y) : R^-1 into (y,x) : R, and vice versa;
  9566 
  9567 * induct over a !!-quantified statement (say !!x1..xn):
  9568   each "case" automatically performs "fix x1 .. xn" with exactly those names.
  9569 
  9570 * Map: `empty' is no longer a constant but a syntactic abbreviation for
  9571 %x. None. Warning: empty_def now refers to the previously hidden definition
  9572 of the empty set.
  9573 
  9574 * Algebra: formalization of classical algebra.  Intended as base for
  9575 any algebraic development in Isabelle.  Currently covers group theory
  9576 (up to Sylow's theorem) and ring theory (Universal Property of
  9577 Univariate Polynomials).  Contributions welcome;
  9578 
  9579 * GroupTheory: deleted, since its material has been moved to Algebra;
  9580 
  9581 * Complex: new directory of the complex numbers with numeric constants,
  9582 nonstandard complex numbers, and some complex analysis, standard and
  9583 nonstandard (Jacques Fleuriot);
  9584 
  9585 * HOL-Complex: new image for analysis, replacing HOL-Real and HOL-Hyperreal;
  9586 
  9587 * Hyperreal: introduced Gauge integration and hyperreal logarithms (Jacques
  9588 Fleuriot);
  9589 
  9590 * Real/HahnBanach: updated and adapted to locales;
  9591 
  9592 * NumberTheory: added Gauss's law of quadratic reciprocity (by Avigad,
  9593 Gray and Kramer);
  9594 
  9595 * UNITY: added the Meier-Sanders theory of progress sets;
  9596 
  9597 * MicroJava: bytecode verifier and lightweight bytecode verifier
  9598 as abstract algorithms, instantiated to the JVM;
  9599 
  9600 * Bali: Java source language formalization. Type system, operational
  9601 semantics, axiomatic semantics. Supported language features:
  9602 classes, interfaces, objects,virtual methods, static methods,
  9603 static/instance fields, arrays, access modifiers, definite
  9604 assignment, exceptions.
  9605 
  9606 
  9607 *** ZF ***
  9608 
  9609 * ZF/Constructible: consistency proof for AC (Gdel's constructible
  9610 universe, etc.);
  9611 
  9612 * Main ZF: virtually all theories converted to new-style format;
  9613 
  9614 
  9615 *** ML ***
  9616 
  9617 * Pure: Tactic.prove provides sane interface for internal proofs;
  9618 omits the infamous "standard" operation, so this is more appropriate
  9619 than prove_goalw_cterm in many situations (e.g. in simprocs);
  9620 
  9621 * Pure: improved error reporting of simprocs;
  9622 
  9623 * Provers: Simplifier.simproc(_i) provides sane interface for setting
  9624 up simprocs;
  9625 
  9626 
  9627 *** Document preparation ***
  9628 
  9629 * uses \par instead of \\ for line breaks in theory text. This may
  9630 shift some page breaks in large documents. To get the old behaviour
  9631 use \renewcommand{\isanewline}{\mbox{}\\\mbox{}} in root.tex.
  9632 
  9633 * minimized dependencies of isabelle.sty and isabellesym.sty on
  9634 other packages
  9635 
  9636 * \<euro> now needs package babel/greek instead of marvosym (which
  9637 broke \Rightarrow)
  9638 
  9639 * normal size for \<zero>...\<nine> (uses \mathbf instead of
  9640 textcomp package)
  9641 
  9642 
  9643 
  9644 New in Isabelle2002 (March 2002)
  9645 --------------------------------
  9646 
  9647 *** Document preparation ***
  9648 
  9649 * greatly simplified document preparation setup, including more
  9650 graceful interpretation of isatool usedir -i/-d/-D options, and more
  9651 instructive isatool mkdir; users should basically be able to get
  9652 started with "isatool mkdir HOL Test && isatool make"; alternatively,
  9653 users may run a separate document processing stage manually like this:
  9654 "isatool usedir -D output HOL Test && isatool document Test/output";
  9655 
  9656 * theory dependency graph may now be incorporated into documents;
  9657 isatool usedir -g true will produce session_graph.eps/.pdf for use
  9658 with \includegraphics of LaTeX;
  9659 
  9660 * proper spacing of consecutive markup elements, especially text
  9661 blocks after section headings;
  9662 
  9663 * support bold style (for single symbols only), input syntax is like
  9664 this: "\<^bold>\<alpha>" or "\<^bold>A";
  9665 
  9666 * \<bullet> is now output as bold \cdot by default, which looks much
  9667 better in printed text;
  9668 
  9669 * added default LaTeX bindings for \<tturnstile> and \<TTurnstile>;
  9670 note that these symbols are currently unavailable in Proof General /
  9671 X-Symbol; new symbols \<zero>, \<one>, ..., \<nine>, and \<euro>;
  9672 
  9673 * isatool latex no longer depends on changed TEXINPUTS, instead
  9674 isatool document copies the Isabelle style files to the target
  9675 location;
  9676 
  9677 
  9678 *** Isar ***
  9679 
  9680 * Pure/Provers: improved proof by cases and induction;
  9681   - 'case' command admits impromptu naming of parameters (such as
  9682     "case (Suc n)");
  9683   - 'induct' method divinates rule instantiation from the inductive
  9684     claim; no longer requires excessive ?P bindings for proper
  9685     instantiation of cases;
  9686   - 'induct' method properly enumerates all possibilities of set/type
  9687     rules; as a consequence facts may be also passed through *type*
  9688     rules without further ado;
  9689   - 'induct' method now derives symbolic cases from the *rulified*
  9690     rule (before it used to rulify cases stemming from the internal
  9691     atomized version); this means that the context of a non-atomic
  9692     statement becomes is included in the hypothesis, avoiding the
  9693     slightly cumbersome show "PROP ?case" form;
  9694   - 'induct' may now use elim-style induction rules without chaining
  9695     facts, using ``missing'' premises from the goal state; this allows
  9696     rules stemming from inductive sets to be applied in unstructured
  9697     scripts, while still benefitting from proper handling of non-atomic
  9698     statements; NB: major inductive premises need to be put first, all
  9699     the rest of the goal is passed through the induction;
  9700   - 'induct' proper support for mutual induction involving non-atomic
  9701     rule statements (uses the new concept of simultaneous goals, see
  9702     below);
  9703   - append all possible rule selections, but only use the first
  9704     success (no backtracking);
  9705   - removed obsolete "(simplified)" and "(stripped)" options of methods;
  9706   - undeclared rule case names default to numbers 1, 2, 3, ...;
  9707   - added 'print_induct_rules' (covered by help item in recent Proof
  9708     General versions);
  9709   - moved induct/cases attributes to Pure, methods to Provers;
  9710   - generic method setup instantiated for FOL and HOL;
  9711 
  9712 * Pure: support multiple simultaneous goal statements, for example
  9713 "have a: A and b: B" (same for 'theorem' etc.); being a pure
  9714 meta-level mechanism, this acts as if several individual goals had
  9715 been stated separately; in particular common proof methods need to be
  9716 repeated in order to cover all claims; note that a single elimination
  9717 step is *not* sufficient to establish the two conjunctions, so this
  9718 fails:
  9719 
  9720   assume "A & B" then have A and B ..   (*".." fails*)
  9721 
  9722 better use "obtain" in situations as above; alternative refer to
  9723 multi-step methods like 'auto', 'simp_all', 'blast+' etc.;
  9724 
  9725 * Pure: proper integration with ``locales''; unlike the original
  9726 version by Florian Kammller, Isar locales package high-level proof
  9727 contexts rather than raw logical ones (e.g. we admit to include
  9728 attributes everywhere); operations on locales include merge and
  9729 rename; support for implicit arguments (``structures''); simultaneous
  9730 type-inference over imports and text; see also HOL/ex/Locales.thy for
  9731 some examples;
  9732 
  9733 * Pure: the following commands have been ``localized'', supporting a
  9734 target locale specification "(in name)": 'lemma', 'theorem',
  9735 'corollary', 'lemmas', 'theorems', 'declare'; the results will be
  9736 stored both within the locale and at the theory level (exported and
  9737 qualified by the locale name);
  9738 
  9739 * Pure: theory goals may now be specified in ``long'' form, with
  9740 ad-hoc contexts consisting of arbitrary locale elements. for example
  9741 ``lemma foo: fixes x assumes "A x" shows "B x"'' (local syntax and
  9742 definitions may be given, too); the result is a meta-level rule with
  9743 the context elements being discharged in the obvious way;
  9744 
  9745 * Pure: new proof command 'using' allows to augment currently used
  9746 facts after a goal statement ('using' is syntactically analogous to
  9747 'apply', but acts on the goal's facts only); this allows chained facts
  9748 to be separated into parts given before and after a claim, as in
  9749 ``from a and b have C using d and e <proof>'';
  9750 
  9751 * Pure: renamed "antecedent" case to "rule_context";
  9752 
  9753 * Pure: new 'judgment' command records explicit information about the
  9754 object-logic embedding (used by several tools internally); no longer
  9755 use hard-wired "Trueprop";
  9756 
  9757 * Pure: added 'corollary' command;
  9758 
  9759 * Pure: fixed 'token_translation' command;
  9760 
  9761 * Pure: removed obsolete 'exported' attribute;
  9762 
  9763 * Pure: dummy pattern "_" in is/let is now automatically lifted over
  9764 bound variables: "ALL x. P x --> Q x" (is "ALL x. _ --> ?C x")
  9765 supersedes more cumbersome ... (is "ALL x. _ x --> ?C x");
  9766 
  9767 * Pure: method 'atomize' presents local goal premises as object-level
  9768 statements (atomic meta-level propositions); setup controlled via
  9769 rewrite rules declarations of 'atomize' attribute; example
  9770 application: 'induct' method with proper rule statements in improper
  9771 proof *scripts*;
  9772 
  9773 * Pure: emulation of instantiation tactics (rule_tac, cut_tac, etc.)
  9774 now consider the syntactic context of assumptions, giving a better
  9775 chance to get type-inference of the arguments right (this is
  9776 especially important for locales);
  9777 
  9778 * Pure: "sorry" no longer requires quick_and_dirty in interactive
  9779 mode;
  9780 
  9781 * Pure/obtain: the formal conclusion "thesis", being marked as
  9782 ``internal'', may no longer be reference directly in the text;
  9783 potential INCOMPATIBILITY, may need to use "?thesis" in rare
  9784 situations;
  9785 
  9786 * Pure: generic 'sym' attribute which declares a rule both as pure
  9787 'elim?' and for the 'symmetric' operation;
  9788 
  9789 * Pure: marginal comments ``--'' may now occur just anywhere in the
  9790 text; the fixed correlation with particular command syntax has been
  9791 discontinued;
  9792 
  9793 * Pure: new method 'rules' is particularly well-suited for proof
  9794 search in intuitionistic logic; a bit slower than 'blast' or 'fast',
  9795 but often produces more compact proof terms with less detours;
  9796 
  9797 * Pure/Provers/classical: simplified integration with pure rule
  9798 attributes and methods; the classical "intro?/elim?/dest?"
  9799 declarations coincide with the pure ones; the "rule" method no longer
  9800 includes classically swapped intros; "intro" and "elim" methods no
  9801 longer pick rules from the context; also got rid of ML declarations
  9802 AddXIs/AddXEs/AddXDs; all of this has some potential for
  9803 INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9804 
  9805 * Provers/classical: attribute 'swapped' produces classical inversions
  9806 of introduction rules;
  9807 
  9808 * Provers/simplifier: 'simplified' attribute may refer to explicit
  9809 rules instead of full simplifier context; 'iff' attribute handles
  9810 conditional rules;
  9811 
  9812 * HOL: 'typedef' now allows alternative names for Rep/Abs morphisms;
  9813 
  9814 * HOL: 'recdef' now fails on unfinished automated proofs, use
  9815 "(permissive)" option to recover old behavior;
  9816 
  9817 * HOL: 'inductive' no longer features separate (collective) attributes
  9818 for 'intros' (was found too confusing);
  9819 
  9820 * HOL: properly declared induction rules less_induct and
  9821 wf_induct_rule;
  9822 
  9823 
  9824 *** HOL ***
  9825 
  9826 * HOL: moved over to sane numeral syntax; the new policy is as
  9827 follows:
  9828 
  9829   - 0 and 1 are polymorphic constants, which are defined on any
  9830   numeric type (nat, int, real etc.);
  9831 
  9832   - 2, 3, 4, ... and -1, -2, -3, ... are polymorphic numerals, based
  9833   binary representation internally;
  9834 
  9835   - type nat has special constructor Suc, and generally prefers Suc 0
  9836   over 1::nat and Suc (Suc 0) over 2::nat;
  9837 
  9838 This change may cause significant problems of INCOMPATIBILITY; here
  9839 are some hints on converting existing sources:
  9840 
  9841   - due to the new "num" token, "-0" and "-1" etc. are now atomic
  9842   entities, so expressions involving "-" (unary or binary minus) need
  9843   to be spaced properly;
  9844 
  9845   - existing occurrences of "1" may need to be constraint "1::nat" or
  9846   even replaced by Suc 0; similar for old "2";
  9847 
  9848   - replace "#nnn" by "nnn", and "#-nnn" by "-nnn";
  9849 
  9850   - remove all special provisions on numerals in proofs;
  9851 
  9852 * HOL: simp rules nat_number expand numerals on nat to Suc/0
  9853 representation (depends on bin_arith_simps in the default context);
  9854 
  9855 * HOL: symbolic syntax for x^2 (numeral 2);
  9856 
  9857 * HOL: the class of all HOL types is now called "type" rather than
  9858 "term"; INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt references to this type class
  9859 in axclass/classes, instance/arities, and (usually rare) occurrences
  9860 in typings (of consts etc.); internally the class is called
  9861 "HOL.type", ML programs should refer to HOLogic.typeS;
  9862 
  9863 * HOL/record package improvements:
  9864   - new derived operations "fields" to build a partial record section,
  9865     "extend" to promote a fixed record to a record scheme, and
  9866     "truncate" for the reverse; cf. theorems "xxx.defs", which are *not*
  9867     declared as simp by default;
  9868   - shared operations ("more", "fields", etc.) now need to be always
  9869     qualified) --- potential INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9870   - removed "make_scheme" operations (use "make" with "extend") --
  9871     INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9872   - removed "more" class (simply use "term") -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9873   - provides cases/induct rules for use with corresponding Isar
  9874     methods (for concrete records, record schemes, concrete more
  9875     parts, and schematic more parts -- in that order);
  9876   - internal definitions directly based on a light-weight abstract
  9877     theory of product types over typedef rather than datatype;
  9878 
  9879 * HOL: generic code generator for generating executable ML code from
  9880 specifications; specific support for HOL constructs such as inductive
  9881 datatypes and sets, as well as recursive functions; can be invoked
  9882 via 'generate_code' theory section;
  9883 
  9884 * HOL: canonical cases/induct rules for n-tuples (n = 3..7);
  9885 
  9886 * HOL: consolidated and renamed several theories.  In particular:
  9887         Ord.thy has been absorbed into HOL.thy
  9888         String.thy has been absorbed into List.thy
  9889 
  9890 * HOL: concrete setsum syntax "\<Sum>i:A. b" == "setsum (%i. b) A"
  9891 (beware of argument permutation!);
  9892 
  9893 * HOL: linorder_less_split superseded by linorder_cases;
  9894 
  9895 * HOL/List: "nodups" renamed to "distinct";
  9896 
  9897 * HOL: added "The" definite description operator; move Hilbert's "Eps"
  9898 to peripheral theory "Hilbert_Choice"; some INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  9899   - Ex_def has changed, now need to use some_eq_ex
  9900 
  9901 * HOL: made split_all_tac safe; EXISTING PROOFS MAY FAIL OR LOOP, so
  9902 in this (rare) case use:
  9903 
  9904   delSWrapper "split_all_tac"
  9905   addSbefore ("unsafe_split_all_tac", unsafe_split_all_tac)
  9906 
  9907 * HOL: added safe wrapper "split_conv_tac" to claset; EXISTING PROOFS
  9908 MAY FAIL;
  9909 
  9910 * HOL: introduced f^n = f o ... o f; warning: due to the limits of
  9911 Isabelle's type classes, ^ on functions and relations has too general
  9912 a domain, namely ('a * 'b) set and 'a => 'b; this means that it may be
  9913 necessary to attach explicit type constraints;
  9914 
  9915 * HOL/Relation: the prefix name of the infix "O" has been changed from
  9916 "comp" to "rel_comp"; INCOMPATIBILITY: a few theorems have been
  9917 renamed accordingly (eg "compI" -> "rel_compI").
  9918 
  9919 * HOL: syntax translations now work properly with numerals and records
  9920 expressions;
  9921 
  9922 * HOL: bounded abstraction now uses syntax "%" / "\<lambda>" instead
  9923 of "lam" -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9924 
  9925 * HOL: got rid of some global declarations (potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  9926 for ML tools): const "()" renamed "Product_Type.Unity", type "unit"
  9927 renamed "Product_Type.unit";
  9928 
  9929 * HOL: renamed rtrancl_into_rtrancl2 to converse_rtrancl_into_rtrancl
  9930 
  9931 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem "optionE" (use "option.exhaust", or
  9932 the "cases" method);
  9933 
  9934 * HOL/GroupTheory: group theory examples including Sylow's theorem (by
  9935 Florian Kammller);
  9936 
  9937 * HOL/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory format; several
  9938 parts turned into readable document, with proper Isar proof texts and
  9939 some explanations (by Gerwin Klein);
  9940 
  9941 * HOL-Real: added Complex_Numbers (by Gertrud Bauer);
  9942 
  9943 * HOL-Hyperreal is now a logic image;
  9944 
  9945 
  9946 *** HOLCF ***
  9947 
  9948 * Isar: consts/constdefs supports mixfix syntax for continuous
  9949 operations;
  9950 
  9951 * Isar: domain package adapted to new-style theory format, e.g. see
  9952 HOLCF/ex/Dnat.thy;
  9953 
  9954 * theory Lift: proper use of rep_datatype lift instead of ML hacks --
  9955 potential INCOMPATIBILITY; now use plain induct_tac instead of former
  9956 lift.induct_tac, always use UU instead of Undef;
  9957 
  9958 * HOLCF/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory;
  9959 
  9960 
  9961 *** ZF ***
  9962 
  9963 * Isar: proper integration of logic-specific tools and packages,
  9964 including theory commands '(co)inductive', '(co)datatype',
  9965 'rep_datatype', 'inductive_cases', as well as methods 'ind_cases',
  9966 'induct_tac', 'case_tac', and 'typecheck' (with attribute 'TC');
  9967 
  9968 * theory Main no longer includes AC; for the Axiom of Choice, base
  9969 your theory on Main_ZFC;
  9970 
  9971 * the integer library now covers quotients and remainders, with many
  9972 laws relating division to addition, multiplication, etc.;
  9973 
  9974 * ZF/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY is now available in ZF, giving a
  9975 typeless version of the formalism;
  9976 
  9977 * ZF/AC, Coind, IMP, Resid: updated and converted to new-style theory
  9978 format;
  9979 
  9980 * ZF/Induct: new directory for examples of inductive definitions,
  9981 including theory Multiset for multiset orderings; converted to
  9982 new-style theory format;
  9983 
  9984 * ZF: many new theorems about lists, ordinals, etc.;
  9985 
  9986 
  9987 *** General ***
  9988 
  9989 * Pure/kernel: meta-level proof terms (by Stefan Berghofer); reference
  9990 variable proof controls level of detail: 0 = no proofs (only oracle
  9991 dependencies), 1 = lemma dependencies, 2 = compact proof terms; see
  9992 also ref manual for further ML interfaces;
  9993 
  9994 * Pure/axclass: removed obsolete ML interface
  9995 goal_subclass/goal_arity;
  9996 
  9997 * Pure/syntax: new token syntax "num" for plain numerals (without "#"
  9998 of "xnum"); potential INCOMPATIBILITY, since -0, -1 etc. are now
  9999 separate tokens, so expressions involving minus need to be spaced
 10000 properly;
 10001 
 10002 * Pure/syntax: support non-oriented infixes, using keyword "infix"
 10003 rather than "infixl" or "infixr";
 10004 
 10005 * Pure/syntax: concrete syntax for dummy type variables admits genuine
 10006 sort constraint specifications in type inference; e.g. "x::_::foo"
 10007 ensures that the type of "x" is of sort "foo" (but not necessarily a
 10008 type variable);
 10009 
 10010 * Pure/syntax: print modes "type_brackets" and "no_type_brackets"
 10011 control output of nested => (types); the default behavior is
 10012 "type_brackets";
 10013 
 10014 * Pure/syntax: builtin parse translation for "_constify" turns valued
 10015 tokens into AST constants;
 10016 
 10017 * Pure/syntax: prefer later declarations of translations and print
 10018 translation functions; potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to reverse
 10019 multiple declarations for same syntax element constant;
 10020 
 10021 * Pure/show_hyps reset by default (in accordance to existing Isar
 10022 practice);
 10023 
 10024 * Provers/classical: renamed addaltern to addafter, addSaltern to
 10025 addSafter;
 10026 
 10027 * Provers/clasimp: ``iff'' declarations now handle conditional rules
 10028 as well;
 10029 
 10030 * system: tested support for MacOS X; should be able to get Isabelle +
 10031 Proof General to work in a plain Terminal after installing Poly/ML
 10032 (e.g. from the Isabelle distribution area) and GNU bash alone
 10033 (e.g. from http://www.apple.com); full X11, XEmacs and X-Symbol
 10034 support requires further installations, e.g. from
 10035 http://fink.sourceforge.net/);
 10036 
 10037 * system: support Poly/ML 4.1.1 (able to manage larger heaps);
 10038 
 10039 * system: reduced base memory usage by Poly/ML (approx. 20 MB instead
 10040 of 40 MB), cf. ML_OPTIONS;
 10041 
 10042 * system: Proof General keywords specification is now part of the
 10043 Isabelle distribution (see etc/isar-keywords.el);
 10044 
 10045 * system: support for persistent Proof General sessions (refrain from
 10046 outdating all loaded theories on startup); user may create writable
 10047 logic images like this: ``isabelle -q HOL Test'';
 10048 
 10049 * system: smart selection of Isabelle process versus Isabelle
 10050 interface, accommodates case-insensitive file systems (e.g. HFS+); may
 10051 run both "isabelle" and "Isabelle" even if file names are badly
 10052 damaged (executable inspects the case of the first letter of its own
 10053 name); added separate "isabelle-process" and "isabelle-interface";
 10054 
 10055 * system: refrain from any attempt at filtering input streams; no
 10056 longer support ``8bit'' encoding of old isabelle font, instead proper
 10057 iso-latin characters may now be used; the related isatools
 10058 "symbolinput" and "nonascii" have disappeared as well;
 10059 
 10060 * system: removed old "xterm" interface (the print modes "xterm" and
 10061 "xterm_color" are still available for direct use in a suitable
 10062 terminal);
 10063 
 10064 
 10065 
 10066 New in Isabelle99-2 (February 2001)
 10067 -----------------------------------
 10068 
 10069 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
 10070 
 10071 * HOL: please note that theories in the Library and elsewhere often use the
 10072 new-style (Isar) format; to refer to their theorems in an ML script you must
 10073 bind them to ML identifers by e.g.      val thm_name = thm "thm_name";
 10074 
 10075 * HOL: inductive package no longer splits induction rule aggressively,
 10076 but only as far as specified by the introductions given; the old
 10077 format may be recovered via ML function complete_split_rule or attribute
 10078 'split_rule (complete)';
 10079 
 10080 * HOL: induct renamed to lfp_induct, lfp_Tarski to lfp_unfold,
 10081 gfp_Tarski to gfp_unfold;
 10082 
 10083 * HOL: contrapos, contrapos2 renamed to contrapos_nn, contrapos_pp;
 10084 
 10085 * HOL: infix "dvd" now has priority 50 rather than 70 (because it is a
 10086 relation); infix "^^" has been renamed "``"; infix "``" has been
 10087 renamed "`"; "univalent" has been renamed "single_valued";
 10088 
 10089 * HOL/Real: "rinv" and "hrinv" replaced by overloaded "inverse"
 10090 operation;
 10091 
 10092 * HOLCF: infix "`" has been renamed "$"; the symbol syntax is \<cdot>;
 10093 
 10094 * Isar: 'obtain' no longer declares "that" fact as simp/intro;
 10095 
 10096 * Isar/HOL: method 'induct' now handles non-atomic goals; as a
 10097 consequence, it is no longer monotonic wrt. the local goal context
 10098 (which is now passed through the inductive cases);
 10099 
 10100 * Document preparation: renamed standard symbols \<ll> to \<lless> and
 10101 \<gg> to \<ggreater>;
 10102 
 10103 
 10104 *** Document preparation ***
 10105 
 10106 * \isabellestyle{NAME} selects version of Isabelle output (currently
 10107 available: are "it" for near math-mode best-style output, "sl" for
 10108 slanted text style, and "tt" for plain type-writer; if no
 10109 \isabellestyle command is given, output is according to slanted
 10110 type-writer);
 10111 
 10112 * support sub/super scripts (for single symbols only), input syntax is
 10113 like this: "A\<^sup>*" or "A\<^sup>\<star>";
 10114 
 10115 * some more standard symbols; see Appendix A of the system manual for
 10116 the complete list of symbols defined in isabellesym.sty;
 10117 
 10118 * improved isabelle style files; more abstract symbol implementation
 10119 (should now use \isamath{...} and \isatext{...} in custom symbol
 10120 definitions);
 10121 
 10122 * antiquotation @{goals} and @{subgoals} for output of *dynamic* goals
 10123 state; Note that presentation of goal states does not conform to
 10124 actual human-readable proof documents.  Please do not include goal
 10125 states into document output unless you really know what you are doing!
 10126 
 10127 * proper indentation of antiquoted output with proportional LaTeX
 10128 fonts;
 10129 
 10130 * no_document ML operator temporarily disables LaTeX document
 10131 generation;
 10132 
 10133 * isatool unsymbolize tunes sources for plain ASCII communication;
 10134 
 10135 
 10136 *** Isar ***
 10137 
 10138 * Pure: Isar now suffers initial goal statements to contain unbound
 10139 schematic variables (this does not conform to actual readable proof
 10140 documents, due to unpredictable outcome and non-compositional proof
 10141 checking); users who know what they are doing may use schematic goals
 10142 for Prolog-style synthesis of proven results;
 10143 
 10144 * Pure: assumption method (an implicit finishing) now handles actual
 10145 rules as well;
 10146 
 10147 * Pure: improved 'obtain' --- moved to Pure, insert "that" into
 10148 initial goal, declare "that" only as Pure intro (only for single
 10149 steps); the "that" rule assumption may now be involved in implicit
 10150 finishing, thus ".." becomes a feasible for trivial obtains;
 10151 
 10152 * Pure: default proof step now includes 'intro_classes'; thus trivial
 10153 instance proofs may be performed by "..";
 10154 
 10155 * Pure: ?thesis / ?this / "..." now work for pure meta-level
 10156 statements as well;
 10157 
 10158 * Pure: more robust selection of calculational rules;
 10159 
 10160 * Pure: the builtin notion of 'finished' goal now includes the ==-refl
 10161 rule (as well as the assumption rule);
 10162 
 10163 * Pure: 'thm_deps' command visualizes dependencies of theorems and
 10164 lemmas, using the graph browser tool;
 10165 
 10166 * Pure: predict failure of "show" in interactive mode;
 10167 
 10168 * Pure: 'thms_containing' now takes actual terms as arguments;
 10169 
 10170 * HOL: improved method 'induct' --- now handles non-atomic goals
 10171 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY); tuned error handling;
 10172 
 10173 * HOL: cases and induct rules now provide explicit hints about the
 10174 number of facts to be consumed (0 for "type" and 1 for "set" rules);
 10175 any remaining facts are inserted into the goal verbatim;
 10176 
 10177 * HOL: local contexts (aka cases) may now contain term bindings as
 10178 well; the 'cases' and 'induct' methods new provide a ?case binding for
 10179 the result to be shown in each case;
 10180 
 10181 * HOL: added 'recdef_tc' command;
 10182 
 10183 * isatool convert assists in eliminating legacy ML scripts;
 10184 
 10185 
 10186 *** HOL ***
 10187 
 10188 * HOL/Library: a collection of generic theories to be used together
 10189 with main HOL; the theory loader path already includes this directory
 10190 by default; the following existing theories have been moved here:
 10191 HOL/Induct/Multiset, HOL/Induct/Acc (as Accessible_Part), HOL/While
 10192 (as While_Combinator), HOL/Lex/Prefix (as List_Prefix);
 10193 
 10194 * HOL/Unix: "Some aspects of Unix file-system security", a typical
 10195 modelling and verification task performed in Isabelle/HOL +
 10196 Isabelle/Isar + Isabelle document preparation (by Markus Wenzel).
 10197 
 10198 * HOL/Algebra: special summation operator SUM no longer exists, it has
 10199 been replaced by setsum; infix 'assoc' now has priority 50 (like
 10200 'dvd'); axiom 'one_not_zero' has been moved from axclass 'ring' to
 10201 'domain', this makes the theory consistent with mathematical
 10202 literature;
 10203 
 10204 * HOL basics: added overloaded operations "inverse" and "divide"
 10205 (infix "/"), syntax for generic "abs" operation, generic summation
 10206 operator \<Sum>;
 10207 
 10208 * HOL/typedef: simplified package, provide more useful rules (see also
 10209 HOL/subset.thy);
 10210 
 10211 * HOL/datatype: induction rule for arbitrarily branching datatypes is
 10212 now expressed as a proper nested rule (old-style tactic scripts may
 10213 require atomize_strip_tac to cope with non-atomic premises);
 10214 
 10215 * HOL: renamed theory "Prod" to "Product_Type", renamed "split" rule
 10216 to "split_conv" (old name still available for compatibility);
 10217 
 10218 * HOL: improved concrete syntax for strings (e.g. allows translation
 10219 rules with string literals);
 10220 
 10221 * HOL-Real-Hyperreal: this extends HOL-Real with the hyperreals
 10222  and Fleuriot's mechanization of analysis, including the transcendental
 10223  functions for the reals;
 10224 
 10225 * HOL/Real, HOL/Hyperreal: improved arithmetic simplification;
 10226 
 10227 
 10228 *** CTT ***
 10229 
 10230 * CTT: x-symbol support for Pi, Sigma, -->, : (membership); note that
 10231 "lam" is displayed as TWO lambda-symbols
 10232 
 10233 * CTT: theory Main now available, containing everything (that is, Bool
 10234 and Arith);
 10235 
 10236 
 10237 *** General ***
 10238 
 10239 * Pure: the Simplifier has been implemented properly as a derived rule
 10240 outside of the actual kernel (at last!); the overall performance
 10241 penalty in practical applications is about 50%, while reliability of
 10242 the Isabelle inference kernel has been greatly improved;
 10243 
 10244 * print modes "brackets" and "no_brackets" control output of nested =>
 10245 (types) and ==> (props); the default behaviour is "brackets";
 10246 
 10247 * Provers: fast_tac (and friends) now handle actual object-logic rules
 10248 as assumptions as well;
 10249 
 10250 * system: support Poly/ML 4.0;
 10251 
 10252 * system: isatool install handles KDE version 1 or 2;
 10253 
 10254 
 10255 
 10256 New in Isabelle99-1 (October 2000)
 10257 ----------------------------------
 10258 
 10259 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
 10260 
 10261 * HOL: simplification of natural numbers is much changed; to partly
 10262 recover the old behaviour (e.g. to prevent n+n rewriting to #2*n)
 10263 issue the following ML commands:
 10264 
 10265   Delsimprocs Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.cancel_numerals;
 10266   Delsimprocs [Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.combine_numerals];
 10267 
 10268 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions; this is
 10269 controlled by "t.weak_case_cong" for each datatype t;
 10270 
 10271 * HOL: nat_less_induct renamed to less_induct;
 10272 
 10273 * HOL: systematic renaming of the SOME (Eps) rules, may use isatool
 10274 fixsome to patch .thy and .ML sources automatically;
 10275 
 10276   select_equality  -> some_equality
 10277   select_eq_Ex     -> some_eq_ex
 10278   selectI2EX       -> someI2_ex
 10279   selectI2         -> someI2
 10280   selectI          -> someI
 10281   select1_equality -> some1_equality
 10282   Eps_sym_eq       -> some_sym_eq_trivial
 10283   Eps_eq           -> some_eq_trivial
 10284 
 10285 * HOL: exhaust_tac on datatypes superceded by new generic case_tac;
 10286 
 10287 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem binding expand_if (refer to split_if
 10288 instead);
 10289 
 10290 * HOL: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' are now called
 10291 f.simps instead of f.rules;
 10292 
 10293 * HOL: qed_spec_mp now also handles bounded ALL as well;
 10294 
 10295 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded, so the type constraint ":: nat" may
 10296 sometimes be needed;
 10297 
 10298 * HOL: the constant for "f``x" is now "image" rather than "op ``";
 10299 
 10300 * HOL: the constant for "f-``x" is now "vimage" rather than "op -``";
 10301 
 10302 * HOL: the disjoint sum is now "<+>" instead of "Plus"; the cartesian
 10303 product is now "<*>" instead of "Times"; the lexicographic product is
 10304 now "<*lex*>" instead of "**";
 10305 
 10306 * HOL: theory Sexp is now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part
 10307 of main HOL, but was unused); better use HOL's datatype package;
 10308 
 10309 * HOL: removed "symbols" syntax for constant "override" of theory Map;
 10310 the old syntax may be recovered as follows:
 10311 
 10312   syntax (symbols)
 10313     override  :: "('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b)"
 10314       (infixl "\\<oplus>" 100)
 10315 
 10316 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
 10317 
 10318 * HOL/ML: even fewer consts are declared as global (see theories Ord,
 10319 Lfp, Gfp, WF); this only affects ML packages that refer to const names
 10320 internally;
 10321 
 10322 * HOL and ZF: syntax for quotienting wrt an equivalence relation
 10323 changed from A/r to A//r;
 10324 
 10325 * ZF: new treatment of arithmetic (nat & int) may break some old
 10326 proofs;
 10327 
 10328 * Isar: renamed some attributes (RS -> THEN, simplify -> simplified,
 10329 rulify -> rule_format, elimify -> elim_format, ...);
 10330 
 10331 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
 10332 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (in most cases, one
 10333 should have to change intro!! to intro? only); replaced "delrule" by
 10334 "rule del";
 10335 
 10336 * Isar/HOL: renamed "intrs" to "intros" in inductive definitions;
 10337 
 10338 * Provers: strengthened force_tac by using new first_best_tac;
 10339 
 10340 * LaTeX document preparation: several changes of isabelle.sty (see
 10341 lib/texinputs);
 10342 
 10343 
 10344 *** Document preparation ***
 10345 
 10346 * formal comments (text blocks etc.) in new-style theories may now
 10347 contain antiquotations of thm/prop/term/typ/text to be presented
 10348 according to latex print mode; concrete syntax is like this:
 10349 @{term[show_types] "f(x) = a + x"};
 10350 
 10351 * isatool mkdir provides easy setup of Isabelle session directories,
 10352 including proper document sources;
 10353 
 10354 * generated LaTeX sources are now deleted after successful run
 10355 (isatool document -c); may retain a copy somewhere else via -D option
 10356 of isatool usedir;
 10357 
 10358 * isatool usedir -D now lets isatool latex -o sty update the Isabelle
 10359 style files, achieving self-contained LaTeX sources and simplifying
 10360 LaTeX debugging;
 10361 
 10362 * old-style theories now produce (crude) LaTeX output as well;
 10363 
 10364 * browser info session directories are now self-contained (may be put
 10365 on WWW server seperately); improved graphs of nested sessions; removed
 10366 graph for 'all sessions';
 10367 
 10368 * several improvements in isabelle style files; \isabellestyle{it}
 10369 produces fake math mode output; \isamarkupheader is now \section by
 10370 default; see lib/texinputs/isabelle.sty etc.;
 10371 
 10372 
 10373 *** Isar ***
 10374 
 10375 * Isar/Pure: local results and corresponding term bindings are now
 10376 subject to Hindley-Milner polymorphism (similar to ML); this
 10377 accommodates incremental type-inference very nicely;
 10378 
 10379 * Isar/Pure: new derived language element 'obtain' supports
 10380 generalized existence reasoning;
 10381 
 10382 * Isar/Pure: new calculational elements 'moreover' and 'ultimately'
 10383 support accumulation of results, without applying any rules yet;
 10384 useful to collect intermediate results without explicit name
 10385 references, and for use with transitivity rules with more than 2
 10386 premises;
 10387 
 10388 * Isar/Pure: scalable support for case-analysis type proofs: new
 10389 'case' language element refers to local contexts symbolically, as
 10390 produced by certain proof methods; internally, case names are attached
 10391 to theorems as "tags";
 10392 
 10393 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'hide' removes declarations from
 10394 class/type/const name spaces;
 10395 
 10396 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'defs' supports option "(overloaded)" to
 10397 indicate potential overloading;
 10398 
 10399 * Isar/Pure: changed syntax of local blocks from {{ }} to { };
 10400 
 10401 * Isar/Pure: syntax of sorts made 'inner', i.e. have to write
 10402 "{a,b,c}" instead of {a,b,c};
 10403 
 10404 * Isar/Pure now provides its own version of intro/elim/dest
 10405 attributes; useful for building new logics, but beware of confusion
 10406 with the version in Provers/classical;
 10407 
 10408 * Isar/Pure: the local context of (non-atomic) goals is provided via
 10409 case name 'antecedent';
 10410 
 10411 * Isar/Pure: removed obsolete 'transfer' attribute (transfer of thms
 10412 to the current context is now done automatically);
 10413 
 10414 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'method_setup' provides a simple interface
 10415 for definining proof methods in ML;
 10416 
 10417 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
 10418 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (INCOMPATIBILITY, in
 10419 most cases, one should have to change intro!! to intro? only);
 10420 replaced "delrule" by "rule del";
 10421 
 10422 * Isar/Provers: new 'hypsubst' method, plain 'subst' method and
 10423 'symmetric' attribute (the latter supercedes [RS sym]);
 10424 
 10425 * Isar/Provers: splitter support (via 'split' attribute and 'simp'
 10426 method modifier); 'simp' method: 'only:' modifier removes loopers as
 10427 well (including splits);
 10428 
 10429 * Isar/Provers: Simplifier and Classical methods now support all kind
 10430 of modifiers used in the past, including 'cong', 'iff', etc.
 10431 
 10432 * Isar/Provers: added 'fastsimp' and 'clarsimp' methods (combination
 10433 of Simplifier and Classical reasoner);
 10434 
 10435 * Isar/HOL: new proof method 'cases' and improved version of 'induct'
 10436 now support named cases; major packages (inductive, datatype, primrec,
 10437 recdef) support case names and properly name parameters;
 10438 
 10439 * Isar/HOL: new transitivity rules for substitution in inequalities --
 10440 monotonicity conditions are extracted to be proven at end of
 10441 calculations;
 10442 
 10443 * Isar/HOL: removed 'case_split' thm binding, should use 'cases' proof
 10444 method anyway;
 10445 
 10446 * Isar/HOL: removed old expand_if = split_if; theorems if_splits =
 10447 split_if split_if_asm; datatype package provides theorems foo.splits =
 10448 foo.split foo.split_asm for each datatype;
 10449 
 10450 * Isar/HOL: tuned inductive package, rename "intrs" to "intros"
 10451 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY), emulation of mk_cases feature for proof
 10452 scripts: new 'inductive_cases' command and 'ind_cases' method; (Note:
 10453 use "(cases (simplified))" method in proper proof texts);
 10454 
 10455 * Isar/HOL: added global 'arith_split' attribute for 'arith' method;
 10456 
 10457 * Isar: names of theorems etc. may be natural numbers as well;
 10458 
 10459 * Isar: 'pr' command: optional arguments for goals_limit and
 10460 ProofContext.prems_limit; no longer prints theory contexts, but only
 10461 proof states;
 10462 
 10463 * Isar: diagnostic commands 'pr', 'thm', 'prop', 'term', 'typ' admit
 10464 additional print modes to be specified; e.g. "pr(latex)" will print
 10465 proof state according to the Isabelle LaTeX style;
 10466 
 10467 * Isar: improved support for emulating tactic scripts, including proof
 10468 methods 'rule_tac' etc., 'cut_tac', 'thin_tac', 'subgoal_tac',
 10469 'rename_tac', 'rotate_tac', 'tactic', and 'case_tac' / 'induct_tac'
 10470 (for HOL datatypes);
 10471 
 10472 * Isar: simplified (more robust) goal selection of proof methods: 1st
 10473 goal, all goals, or explicit goal specifier (tactic emulation); thus
 10474 'proof method scripts' have to be in depth-first order;
 10475 
 10476 * Isar: tuned 'let' syntax: replaced 'as' keyword by 'and';
 10477 
 10478 * Isar: removed 'help' command, which hasn't been too helpful anyway;
 10479 should instead use individual commands for printing items
 10480 (print_commands, print_methods etc.);
 10481 
 10482 * Isar: added 'nothing' --- the empty list of theorems;
 10483 
 10484 
 10485 *** HOL ***
 10486 
 10487 * HOL/MicroJava: formalization of a fragment of Java, together with a
 10488 corresponding virtual machine and a specification of its bytecode
 10489 verifier and a lightweight bytecode verifier, including proofs of
 10490 type-safety; by Gerwin Klein, Tobias Nipkow, David von Oheimb, and
 10491 Cornelia Pusch (see also the homepage of project Bali at
 10492 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Bali/);
 10493 
 10494 * HOL/Algebra: new theory of rings and univariate polynomials, by
 10495 Clemens Ballarin;
 10496 
 10497 * HOL/NumberTheory: fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, Chinese
 10498 Remainder Theorem, Fermat/Euler Theorem, Wilson's Theorem, by Thomas M
 10499 Rasmussen;
 10500 
 10501 * HOL/Lattice: fundamental concepts of lattice theory and order
 10502 structures, including duals, properties of bounds versus algebraic
 10503 laws, lattice operations versus set-theoretic ones, the Knaster-Tarski
 10504 Theorem for complete lattices etc.; may also serve as a demonstration
 10505 for abstract algebraic reasoning using axiomatic type classes, and
 10506 mathematics-style proof in Isabelle/Isar; by Markus Wenzel;
 10507 
 10508 * HOL/Prolog: a (bare-bones) implementation of Lambda-Prolog, by David
 10509 von Oheimb;
 10510 
 10511 * HOL/IMPP: extension of IMP with local variables and mutually
 10512 recursive procedures, by David von Oheimb;
 10513 
 10514 * HOL/Lambda: converted into new-style theory and document;
 10515 
 10516 * HOL/ex/Multiquote: example of multiple nested quotations and
 10517 anti-quotations -- basically a generalized version of de-Bruijn
 10518 representation; very useful in avoiding lifting of operations;
 10519 
 10520 * HOL/record: added general record equality rule to simpset; fixed
 10521 select-update simplification procedure to handle extended records as
 10522 well; admit "r" as field name;
 10523 
 10524 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded over the new sort "zero", allowing its use with
 10525 other numeric types and also as the identity of groups, rings, etc.;
 10526 
 10527 * HOL: new axclass plus_ac0 for addition with the AC-laws and 0 as identity.
 10528 Types nat and int belong to this axclass;
 10529 
 10530 * HOL: greatly improved simplification involving numerals of type nat, int, real:
 10531    (i + #8 + j) = Suc k simplifies to  #7 + (i + j) = k
 10532    i*j + k + j*#3*i     simplifies to  #4*(i*j) + k
 10533   two terms #m*u and #n*u are replaced by #(m+n)*u
 10534     (where #m, #n and u can implicitly be 1; this is simproc combine_numerals)
 10535   and the term/formula #m*u+x ~~ #n*u+y simplifies simplifies to #(m-n)+x ~~ y
 10536     or x ~~ #(n-m)+y, where ~~ is one of = < <= or - (simproc cancel_numerals);
 10537 
 10538 * HOL: meson_tac is available (previously in ex/meson.ML); it is a
 10539 powerful prover for predicate logic but knows nothing of clasets; see
 10540 ex/mesontest.ML and ex/mesontest2.ML for example applications;
 10541 
 10542 * HOL: new version of "case_tac" subsumes both boolean case split and
 10543 "exhaust_tac" on datatypes; INCOMPATIBILITY: exhaust_tac no longer
 10544 exists, may define val exhaust_tac = case_tac for ad-hoc portability;
 10545 
 10546 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions: only the
 10547 selector expression is simplified, but not the remaining arms; to
 10548 enable full simplification of case-expressions for datatype t, you may
 10549 remove t.weak_case_cong from the simpset, either globally (Delcongs
 10550 [thm"t.weak_case_cong"];) or locally (delcongs [...]).
 10551 
 10552 * HOL/recdef: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' for
 10553 function 'f' are now called f.simps instead of f.rules; if all
 10554 termination conditions are proved automatically, these simplification
 10555 rules are added to the simpset, as in primrec; rules may be named
 10556 individually as well, resulting in a separate list of theorems for
 10557 each equation;
 10558 
 10559 * HOL/While is a new theory that provides a while-combinator. It
 10560 permits the definition of tail-recursive functions without the
 10561 provision of a termination measure. The latter is necessary once the
 10562 invariant proof rule for while is applied.
 10563 
 10564 * HOL: new (overloaded) notation for the set of elements below/above
 10565 some element: {..u}, {..u(}, {l..}, {)l..}. See theory SetInterval.
 10566 
 10567 * HOL: theorems impI, allI, ballI bound as "strip";
 10568 
 10569 * HOL: new tactic induct_thm_tac: thm -> string -> int -> tactic
 10570 induct_tac th "x1 ... xn" expects th to have a conclusion of the form
 10571 P v1 ... vn and abbreviates res_inst_tac [("v1","x1"),...,("vn","xn")] th;
 10572 
 10573 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
 10574 
 10575 * HOL: theory Sexp now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part of
 10576 main HOL, but was unused);
 10577 
 10578 * HOL: fewer consts declared as global (e.g. have to refer to
 10579 "Lfp.lfp" instead of "lfp" internally; affects ML packages only);
 10580 
 10581 * HOL: tuned AST representation of nested pairs, avoiding bogus output
 10582 in case of overlap with user translations (e.g. judgements over
 10583 tuples); (note that the underlying logical represenation is still
 10584 bogus);
 10585 
 10586 
 10587 *** ZF ***
 10588 
 10589 * ZF: simplification automatically cancels common terms in arithmetic
 10590 expressions over nat and int;
 10591 
 10592 * ZF: new treatment of nat to minimize type-checking: all operators
 10593 coerce their operands to a natural number using the function natify,
 10594 making the algebraic laws unconditional;
 10595 
 10596 * ZF: as above, for int: operators coerce their operands to an integer
 10597 using the function intify;
 10598 
 10599 * ZF: the integer library now contains many of the usual laws for the
 10600 orderings, including $<=, and monotonicity laws for $+ and $*;
 10601 
 10602 * ZF: new example ZF/ex/NatSum to demonstrate integer arithmetic
 10603 simplification;
 10604 
 10605 * FOL and ZF: AddIffs now available, giving theorems of the form P<->Q
 10606 to the simplifier and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 10607 
 10608 
 10609 *** General ***
 10610 
 10611 * Provers: blast_tac now handles actual object-logic rules as
 10612 assumptions; note that auto_tac uses blast_tac internally as well;
 10613 
 10614 * Provers: new functions rulify/rulify_no_asm: thm -> thm for turning
 10615 outer -->/All/Ball into ==>/!!; qed_spec_mp now uses rulify_no_asm;
 10616 
 10617 * Provers: delrules now handles destruct rules as well (no longer need
 10618 explicit make_elim);
 10619 
 10620 * Provers: Blast_tac now warns of and ignores "weak elimination rules" e.g.
 10621   [| inj ?f;          ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
 10622 use instead the strong form,
 10623   [| inj ?f; ~ ?W ==> ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
 10624 in HOL, FOL and ZF the function cla_make_elim will create such rules
 10625 from destruct-rules;
 10626 
 10627 * Provers: Simplifier.easy_setup provides a fast path to basic
 10628 Simplifier setup for new object-logics;
 10629 
 10630 * Pure: AST translation rules no longer require constant head on LHS;
 10631 
 10632 * Pure: improved name spaces: ambiguous output is qualified; support
 10633 for hiding of names;
 10634 
 10635 * system: smart setup of canonical ML_HOME, ISABELLE_INTERFACE, and
 10636 XSYMBOL_HOME; no longer need to do manual configuration in most
 10637 situations;
 10638 
 10639 * system: compression of ML heaps images may now be controlled via -c
 10640 option of isabelle and isatool usedir (currently only observed by
 10641 Poly/ML);
 10642 
 10643 * system: isatool installfonts may handle X-Symbol fonts as well (very
 10644 useful for remote X11);
 10645 
 10646 * system: provide TAGS file for Isabelle sources;
 10647 
 10648 * ML: infix 'OF' is a version of 'MRS' with more appropriate argument
 10649 order;
 10650 
 10651 * ML: renamed flags Syntax.trace_norm_ast to Syntax.trace_ast; global
 10652 timing flag supersedes proof_timing and Toplevel.trace;
 10653 
 10654 * ML: new combinators |>> and |>>> for incremental transformations
 10655 with secondary results (e.g. certain theory extensions):
 10656 
 10657 * ML: PureThy.add_defs gets additional argument to indicate potential
 10658 overloading (usually false);
 10659 
 10660 * ML: PureThy.add_thms/add_axioms/add_defs now return theorems as
 10661 results;
 10662 
 10663 
 10664 
 10665 New in Isabelle99 (October 1999)
 10666 --------------------------------
 10667 
 10668 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 10669 
 10670 * HOL: The THEN and ELSE parts of conditional expressions (if P then x else y)
 10671 are no longer simplified.  (This allows the simplifier to unfold recursive
 10672 functional programs.)  To restore the old behaviour, declare
 10673 
 10674     Delcongs [if_weak_cong];
 10675 
 10676 * HOL: Removed the obsolete syntax "Compl A"; use -A for set
 10677 complement;
 10678 
 10679 * HOL: the predicate "inj" is now defined by translation to "inj_on";
 10680 
 10681 * HOL/datatype: mutual_induct_tac no longer exists --
 10682   use induct_tac "x_1 ... x_n" instead of mutual_induct_tac ["x_1", ..., "x_n"]
 10683 
 10684 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
 10685 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
 10686 
 10687 * ZF: The con_defs part of an inductive definition may no longer refer
 10688 to constants declared in the same theory;
 10689 
 10690 * HOL, ZF: the function mk_cases, generated by the inductive
 10691 definition package, has lost an argument.  To simplify its result, it
 10692 uses the default simpset instead of a supplied list of theorems.
 10693 
 10694 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
 10695 
 10696 * Simplifier: the type of the infix ML functions
 10697         setSSolver addSSolver setSolver addSolver
 10698 is now  simpset * solver -> simpset  where `solver' is a new abstract type
 10699 for packaging solvers. A solver is created via
 10700         mk_solver: string -> (thm list -> int -> tactic) -> solver
 10701 where the string argument is only a comment.
 10702 
 10703 
 10704 *** Proof tools ***
 10705 
 10706 * Provers/Arith/fast_lin_arith.ML contains a functor for creating a
 10707 decision procedure for linear arithmetic. Currently it is used for
 10708 types `nat', `int', and `real' in HOL (see below); it can, should and
 10709 will be instantiated for other types and logics as well.
 10710 
 10711 * The simplifier now accepts rewrite rules with flexible heads, eg
 10712      hom ?f ==> ?f(?x+?y) = ?f ?x + ?f ?y
 10713   They are applied like any rule with a non-pattern lhs, i.e. by first-order
 10714   matching.
 10715 
 10716 
 10717 *** General ***
 10718 
 10719 * New Isabelle/Isar subsystem provides an alternative to traditional
 10720 tactical theorem proving; together with the ProofGeneral/isar user
 10721 interface it offers an interactive environment for developing human
 10722 readable proof documents (Isar == Intelligible semi-automated
 10723 reasoning); for further information see isatool doc isar-ref,
 10724 src/HOL/Isar_examples and http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Isar/
 10725 
 10726 * improved and simplified presentation of theories: better HTML markup
 10727 (including colors), graph views in several sizes; isatool usedir now
 10728 provides a proper interface for user theories (via -P option); actual
 10729 document preparation based on (PDF)LaTeX is available as well (for
 10730 new-style theories only); see isatool doc system for more information;
 10731 
 10732 * native support for Proof General, both for classic Isabelle and
 10733 Isabelle/Isar;
 10734 
 10735 * ML function thm_deps visualizes dependencies of theorems and lemmas,
 10736 using the graph browser tool;
 10737 
 10738 * Isabelle manuals now also available as PDF;
 10739 
 10740 * theory loader rewritten from scratch (may not be fully
 10741 bug-compatible); old loadpath variable has been replaced by show_path,
 10742 add_path, del_path, reset_path functions; new operations such as
 10743 update_thy, touch_thy, remove_thy, use/update_thy_only (see also
 10744 isatool doc ref);
 10745 
 10746 * improved isatool install: option -k creates KDE application icon,
 10747 option -p DIR installs standalone binaries;
 10748 
 10749 * added ML_PLATFORM setting (useful for cross-platform installations);
 10750 more robust handling of platform specific ML images for SML/NJ;
 10751 
 10752 * the settings environment is now statically scoped, i.e. it is never
 10753 created again in sub-processes invoked from isabelle, isatool, or
 10754 Isabelle;
 10755 
 10756 * path element specification '~~' refers to '$ISABELLE_HOME';
 10757 
 10758 * in locales, the "assumes" and "defines" parts may be omitted if
 10759 empty;
 10760 
 10761 * new print_mode "xsymbols" for extended symbol support (e.g. genuine
 10762 long arrows);
 10763 
 10764 * new print_mode "HTML";
 10765 
 10766 * new flag show_tags controls display of tags of theorems (which are
 10767 basically just comments that may be attached by some tools);
 10768 
 10769 * Isamode 2.6 requires patch to accomodate change of Isabelle font
 10770 mode and goal output format:
 10771 
 10772 diff -r Isamode-2.6/elisp/isa-load.el Isamode/elisp/isa-load.el
 10773 244c244
 10774 <       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-msymbols" logic-name)
 10775 ---
 10776 >       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-misabelle_font" "-msymbols" logic-name)
 10777 diff -r Isabelle-2.6/elisp/isa-proofstate.el Isamode/elisp/isa-proofstate.el
 10778 181c181
 10779 < (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+$"
 10780 ---
 10781 > (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+"
 10782 
 10783 * function bind_thms stores lists of theorems (cf. bind_thm);
 10784 
 10785 * new shorthand tactics ftac, eatac, datac, fatac;
 10786 
 10787 * qed (and friends) now accept "" as result name; in that case the
 10788 theorem is not stored, but proper checks and presentation of the
 10789 result still apply;
 10790 
 10791 * theorem database now also indexes constants "Trueprop", "all",
 10792 "==>", "=="; thus thms_containing, findI etc. may retrieve more rules;
 10793 
 10794 
 10795 *** HOL ***
 10796 
 10797 ** HOL arithmetic **
 10798 
 10799 * There are now decision procedures for linear arithmetic over nat and
 10800 int:
 10801 
 10802 1. arith_tac copes with arbitrary formulae involving `=', `<', `<=',
 10803 `+', `-', `Suc', `min', `max' and numerical constants; other subterms
 10804 are treated as atomic; subformulae not involving type `nat' or `int'
 10805 are ignored; quantified subformulae are ignored unless they are
 10806 positive universal or negative existential. The tactic has to be
 10807 invoked by hand and can be a little bit slow. In particular, the
 10808 running time is exponential in the number of occurrences of `min' and
 10809 `max', and `-' on `nat'.
 10810 
 10811 2. fast_arith_tac is a cut-down version of arith_tac: it only takes
 10812 (negated) (in)equalities among the premises and the conclusion into
 10813 account (i.e. no compound formulae) and does not know about `min' and
 10814 `max', and `-' on `nat'. It is fast and is used automatically by the
 10815 simplifier.
 10816 
 10817 NB: At the moment, these decision procedures do not cope with mixed
 10818 nat/int formulae where the two parts interact, such as `m < n ==>
 10819 int(m) < int(n)'.
 10820 
 10821 * HOL/Numeral provides a generic theory of numerals (encoded
 10822 efficiently as bit strings); setup for types nat/int/real is in place;
 10823 INCOMPATIBILITY: since numeral syntax is now polymorphic, rather than
 10824 int, existing theories and proof scripts may require a few additional
 10825 type constraints;
 10826 
 10827 * integer division and remainder can now be performed on constant
 10828 arguments;
 10829 
 10830 * many properties of integer multiplication, division and remainder
 10831 are now available;
 10832 
 10833 * An interface to the Stanford Validity Checker (SVC) is available through the
 10834 tactic svc_tac.  Propositional tautologies and theorems of linear arithmetic
 10835 are proved automatically.  SVC must be installed separately, and its results
 10836 must be TAKEN ON TRUST (Isabelle does not check the proofs, but tags any
 10837 invocation of the underlying oracle).  For SVC see
 10838   http://verify.stanford.edu/SVC
 10839 
 10840 * IsaMakefile: the HOL-Real target now builds an actual image;
 10841 
 10842 
 10843 ** HOL misc **
 10844 
 10845 * HOL/Real/HahnBanach: the Hahn-Banach theorem for real vector spaces
 10846 (in Isabelle/Isar) -- by Gertrud Bauer;
 10847 
 10848 * HOL/BCV: generic model of bytecode verification, i.e. data-flow
 10849 analysis for assembly languages with subtypes;
 10850 
 10851 * HOL/TLA (Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions): major reorganization
 10852 -- avoids syntactic ambiguities and treats state, transition, and
 10853 temporal levels more uniformly; introduces INCOMPATIBILITIES due to
 10854 changed syntax and (many) tactics;
 10855 
 10856 * HOL/inductive: Now also handles more general introduction rules such
 10857   as "ALL y. (y, x) : r --> y : acc r ==> x : acc r"; monotonicity
 10858   theorems are now maintained within the theory (maintained via the
 10859   "mono" attribute);
 10860 
 10861 * HOL/datatype: Now also handles arbitrarily branching datatypes
 10862   (using function types) such as
 10863 
 10864   datatype 'a tree = Atom 'a | Branch "nat => 'a tree"
 10865 
 10866 * HOL/record: record_simproc (part of the default simpset) takes care
 10867 of selectors applied to updated records; record_split_tac is no longer
 10868 part of the default claset; update_defs may now be removed from the
 10869 simpset in many cases; COMPATIBILITY: old behavior achieved by
 10870 
 10871   claset_ref () := claset() addSWrapper record_split_wrapper;
 10872   Delsimprocs [record_simproc]
 10873 
 10874 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
 10875 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
 10876 
 10877 * HOL/recdef (TFL): 'congs' syntax now expects comma separated list of theorem
 10878 names rather than an ML expression;
 10879 
 10880 * HOL/defer_recdef (TFL): like recdef but the well-founded relation can be
 10881 supplied later.  Program schemes can be defined, such as
 10882     "While B C s = (if B s then While B C (C s) else s)"
 10883 where the well-founded relation can be chosen after B and C have been given.
 10884 
 10885 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
 10886 INCOMPATIBILITY: while [] and infix # syntax is still there, of
 10887 course, ML tools referring to List.list.op # etc. have to be adapted;
 10888 
 10889 * HOL_quantifiers flag superseded by "HOL" print mode, which is
 10890 disabled by default; run isabelle with option -m HOL to get back to
 10891 the original Gordon/HOL-style output;
 10892 
 10893 * HOL/Ord.thy: new bounded quantifier syntax (input only): ALL x<y. P,
 10894 ALL x<=y. P, EX x<y. P, EX x<=y. P;
 10895 
 10896 * HOL basic syntax simplified (more orthogonal): all variants of
 10897 All/Ex now support plain / symbolic / HOL notation; plain syntax for
 10898 Eps operator is provided as well: "SOME x. P[x]";
 10899 
 10900 * HOL/Sum.thy: sum_case has been moved to HOL/Datatype;
 10901 
 10902 * HOL/Univ.thy: infix syntax <*>, <+>, <**>, <+> eliminated and made
 10903 thus available for user theories;
 10904 
 10905 * HOLCF/IOA/Sequents: renamed 'Cons' to 'Consq' to avoid clash with
 10906 HOL/List; hardly an INCOMPATIBILITY since '>>' syntax is used all the
 10907 time;
 10908 
 10909 * HOL: new tactic smp_tac: int -> int -> tactic, which applies spec
 10910 several times and then mp;
 10911 
 10912 
 10913 *** LK ***
 10914 
 10915 * the notation <<...>> is now available as a notation for sequences of
 10916 formulas;
 10917 
 10918 * the simplifier is now installed
 10919 
 10920 * the axiom system has been generalized (thanks to Soren Heilmann)
 10921 
 10922 * the classical reasoner now has a default rule database
 10923 
 10924 
 10925 *** ZF ***
 10926 
 10927 * new primrec section allows primitive recursive functions to be given
 10928 directly (as in HOL) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
 10929 
 10930 * new tactics induct_tac and exhaust_tac for induction (or case
 10931 analysis) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
 10932 
 10933 * the datatype declaration of type T now defines the recursor T_rec;
 10934 
 10935 * simplification automatically does freeness reasoning for datatype
 10936 constructors;
 10937 
 10938 * automatic type-inference, with AddTCs command to insert new
 10939 type-checking rules;
 10940 
 10941 * datatype introduction rules are now added as Safe Introduction rules
 10942 to the claset;
 10943 
 10944 * the syntax "if P then x else y" is now available in addition to
 10945 if(P,x,y);
 10946 
 10947 
 10948 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
 10949 
 10950 * tuned simplifier trace output; new flag debug_simp;
 10951 
 10952 * structures Vartab / Termtab (instances of TableFun) offer efficient
 10953 tables indexed by indexname_ord / term_ord (compatible with aconv);
 10954 
 10955 * AxClass.axclass_tac lost the theory argument;
 10956 
 10957 * tuned current_goals_markers semantics: begin / end goal avoids
 10958 printing empty lines;
 10959 
 10960 * removed prs and prs_fn hook, which was broken because it did not
 10961 include \n in its semantics, forcing writeln to add one
 10962 uncoditionally; replaced prs_fn by writeln_fn; consider std_output:
 10963 string -> unit if you really want to output text without newline;
 10964 
 10965 * Symbol.output subject to print mode; INCOMPATIBILITY: defaults to
 10966 plain output, interface builders may have to enable 'isabelle_font'
 10967 mode to get Isabelle font glyphs as before;
 10968 
 10969 * refined token_translation interface; INCOMPATIBILITY: output length
 10970 now of type real instead of int;
 10971 
 10972 * theory loader actions may be traced via new ThyInfo.add_hook
 10973 interface (see src/Pure/Thy/thy_info.ML); example application: keep
 10974 your own database of information attached to *whole* theories -- as
 10975 opposed to intra-theory data slots offered via TheoryDataFun;
 10976 
 10977 * proper handling of dangling sort hypotheses (at last!);
 10978 Thm.strip_shyps and Drule.strip_shyps_warning take care of removing
 10979 extra sort hypotheses that can be witnessed from the type signature;
 10980 the force_strip_shyps flag is gone, any remaining shyps are simply
 10981 left in the theorem (with a warning issued by strip_shyps_warning);
 10982 
 10983 
 10984 
 10985 New in Isabelle98-1 (October 1998)
 10986 ----------------------------------
 10987 
 10988 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 10989 
 10990 * several changes of automated proof tools;
 10991 
 10992 * HOL: major changes to the inductive and datatype packages, including
 10993 some minor incompatibilities of theory syntax;
 10994 
 10995 * HOL: renamed r^-1 to 'converse' from 'inverse'; 'inj_onto' is now
 10996 called `inj_on';
 10997 
 10998 * HOL: removed duplicate thms in Arith:
 10999   less_imp_add_less  should be replaced by  trans_less_add1
 11000   le_imp_add_le      should be replaced by  trans_le_add1
 11001 
 11002 * HOL: unary minus is now overloaded (new type constraints may be
 11003 required);
 11004 
 11005 * HOL and ZF: unary minus for integers is now #- instead of #~.  In
 11006 ZF, expressions such as n#-1 must be changed to n#- 1, since #-1 is
 11007 now taken as an integer constant.
 11008 
 11009 * Pure: ML function 'theory_of' renamed to 'theory';
 11010 
 11011 
 11012 *** Proof tools ***
 11013 
 11014 * Simplifier:
 11015   1. Asm_full_simp_tac is now more aggressive.
 11016      1. It will sometimes reorient premises if that increases their power to
 11017         simplify.
 11018      2. It does no longer proceed strictly from left to right but may also
 11019         rotate premises to achieve further simplification.
 11020      For compatibility reasons there is now Asm_lr_simp_tac which is like the
 11021      old Asm_full_simp_tac in that it does not rotate premises.
 11022   2. The simplifier now knows a little bit about nat-arithmetic.
 11023 
 11024 * Classical reasoner: wrapper mechanism for the classical reasoner now
 11025 allows for selected deletion of wrappers, by introduction of names for
 11026 wrapper functionals.  This implies that addbefore, addSbefore,
 11027 addaltern, and addSaltern now take a pair (name, tactic) as argument,
 11028 and that adding two tactics with the same name overwrites the first
 11029 one (emitting a warning).
 11030   type wrapper = (int -> tactic) -> (int -> tactic)
 11031   setWrapper, setSWrapper, compWrapper and compSWrapper are replaced by
 11032   addWrapper, addSWrapper: claset * (string * wrapper) -> claset
 11033   delWrapper, delSWrapper: claset *  string            -> claset
 11034   getWrapper is renamed to appWrappers, getSWrapper to appSWrappers;
 11035 
 11036 * Classical reasoner: addbefore/addSbefore now have APPEND/ORELSE
 11037 semantics; addbefore now affects only the unsafe part of step_tac
 11038 etc.; this affects addss/auto_tac/force_tac, so EXISTING PROOFS MAY
 11039 FAIL, but proofs should be fixable easily, e.g. by replacing Auto_tac
 11040 by Force_tac;
 11041 
 11042 * Classical reasoner: setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to
 11043 compWrapper; added safe wrapper (and access functions for it);
 11044 
 11045 * HOL/split_all_tac is now much faster and fails if there is nothing
 11046 to split.  Some EXISTING PROOFS MAY REQUIRE ADAPTION because the order
 11047 and the names of the automatically generated variables have changed.
 11048 split_all_tac has moved within claset() from unsafe wrappers to safe
 11049 wrappers, which means that !!-bound variables are split much more
 11050 aggressively, and safe_tac and clarify_tac now split such variables.
 11051 If this splitting is not appropriate, use delSWrapper "split_all_tac".
 11052 Note: the same holds for record_split_tac, which does the job of
 11053 split_all_tac for record fields.
 11054 
 11055 * HOL/Simplifier: Rewrite rules for case distinctions can now be added
 11056 permanently to the default simpset using Addsplits just like
 11057 Addsimps. They can be removed via Delsplits just like
 11058 Delsimps. Lower-case versions are also available.
 11059 
 11060 * HOL/Simplifier: The rule split_if is now part of the default
 11061 simpset. This means that the simplifier will eliminate all occurrences
 11062 of if-then-else in the conclusion of a goal. To prevent this, you can
 11063 either remove split_if completely from the default simpset by
 11064 `Delsplits [split_if]' or remove it in a specific call of the
 11065 simplifier using `... delsplits [split_if]'.  You can also add/delete
 11066 other case splitting rules to/from the default simpset: every datatype
 11067 generates suitable rules `split_t_case' and `split_t_case_asm' (where
 11068 t is the name of the datatype).
 11069 
 11070 * Classical reasoner / Simplifier combination: new force_tac (and
 11071 derivatives Force_tac, force) combines rewriting and classical
 11072 reasoning (and whatever other tools) similarly to auto_tac, but is
 11073 aimed to solve the given subgoal completely.
 11074 
 11075 
 11076 *** General ***
 11077 
 11078 * new top-level commands `Goal' and `Goalw' that improve upon `goal'
 11079 and `goalw': the theory is no longer needed as an explicit argument -
 11080 the current theory context is used; assumptions are no longer returned
 11081 at the ML-level unless one of them starts with ==> or !!; it is
 11082 recommended to convert to these new commands using isatool fixgoal
 11083 (backup your sources first!);
 11084 
 11085 * new top-level commands 'thm' and 'thms' for retrieving theorems from
 11086 the current theory context, and 'theory' to lookup stored theories;
 11087 
 11088 * new theory section 'locale' for declaring constants, assumptions and
 11089 definitions that have local scope;
 11090 
 11091 * new theory section 'nonterminals' for purely syntactic types;
 11092 
 11093 * new theory section 'setup' for generic ML setup functions
 11094 (e.g. package initialization);
 11095 
 11096 * the distribution now includes Isabelle icons: see
 11097 lib/logo/isabelle-{small,tiny}.xpm;
 11098 
 11099 * isatool install - install binaries with absolute references to
 11100 ISABELLE_HOME/bin;
 11101 
 11102 * isatool logo -- create instances of the Isabelle logo (as EPS);
 11103 
 11104 * print mode 'emacs' reserved for Isamode;
 11105 
 11106 * support multiple print (ast) translations per constant name;
 11107 
 11108 * theorems involving oracles are now printed with a suffixed [!];
 11109 
 11110 
 11111 *** HOL ***
 11112 
 11113 * there is now a tutorial on Isabelle/HOL (do 'isatool doc tutorial');
 11114 
 11115 * HOL/inductive package reorganized and improved: now supports mutual
 11116 definitions such as
 11117 
 11118   inductive EVEN ODD
 11119     intrs
 11120       null "0 : EVEN"
 11121       oddI "n : EVEN ==> Suc n : ODD"
 11122       evenI "n : ODD ==> Suc n : EVEN"
 11123 
 11124 new theorem list "elims" contains an elimination rule for each of the
 11125 recursive sets; inductive definitions now handle disjunctive premises
 11126 correctly (also ZF);
 11127 
 11128 INCOMPATIBILITIES: requires Inductive as an ancestor; component
 11129 "mutual_induct" no longer exists - the induction rule is always
 11130 contained in "induct";
 11131 
 11132 
 11133 * HOL/datatype package re-implemented and greatly improved: now
 11134 supports mutually recursive datatypes such as
 11135 
 11136   datatype
 11137     'a aexp = IF_THEN_ELSE ('a bexp) ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 11138             | SUM ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 11139             | DIFF ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 11140             | NUM 'a
 11141   and
 11142     'a bexp = LESS ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 11143             | AND ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
 11144             | OR ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
 11145 
 11146 as well as indirectly recursive datatypes such as
 11147 
 11148   datatype
 11149     ('a, 'b) term = Var 'a
 11150                   | App 'b ((('a, 'b) term) list)
 11151 
 11152 The new tactic  mutual_induct_tac [<var_1>, ..., <var_n>] i  performs
 11153 induction on mutually / indirectly recursive datatypes.
 11154 
 11155 Primrec equations are now stored in theory and can be accessed via
 11156 <function_name>.simps.
 11157 
 11158 INCOMPATIBILITIES:
 11159 
 11160   - Theories using datatypes must now have theory Datatype as an
 11161     ancestor.
 11162   - The specific <typename>.induct_tac no longer exists - use the
 11163     generic induct_tac instead.
 11164   - natE has been renamed to nat.exhaust - use exhaust_tac
 11165     instead of res_inst_tac ... natE. Note that the variable
 11166     names in nat.exhaust differ from the names in natE, this
 11167     may cause some "fragile" proofs to fail.
 11168   - The theorems split_<typename>_case and split_<typename>_case_asm
 11169     have been renamed to <typename>.split and <typename>.split_asm.
 11170   - Since default sorts of type variables are now handled correctly,
 11171     some datatype definitions may have to be annotated with explicit
 11172     sort constraints.
 11173   - Primrec definitions no longer require function name and type
 11174     of recursive argument.
 11175 
 11176 Consider using isatool fixdatatype to adapt your theories and proof
 11177 scripts to the new package (backup your sources first!).
 11178 
 11179 
 11180 * HOL/record package: considerably improved implementation; now
 11181 includes concrete syntax for record types, terms, updates; theorems
 11182 for surjective pairing and splitting !!-bound record variables; proof
 11183 support is as follows:
 11184 
 11185   1) standard conversions (selectors or updates applied to record
 11186 constructor terms) are part of the standard simpset;
 11187 
 11188   2) inject equations of the form ((x, y) = (x', y')) == x=x' & y=y' are
 11189 made part of standard simpset and claset via addIffs;
 11190 
 11191   3) a tactic for record field splitting (record_split_tac) is part of
 11192 the standard claset (addSWrapper);
 11193 
 11194 To get a better idea about these rules you may retrieve them via
 11195 something like 'thms "foo.simps"' or 'thms "foo.iffs"', where "foo" is
 11196 the name of your record type.
 11197 
 11198 The split tactic 3) conceptually simplifies by the following rule:
 11199 
 11200   "(!!x. PROP ?P x) == (!!a b. PROP ?P (a, b))"
 11201 
 11202 Thus any record variable that is bound by meta-all will automatically
 11203 blow up into some record constructor term, consequently the
 11204 simplifications of 1), 2) apply.  Thus force_tac, auto_tac etc. shall
 11205 solve record problems automatically.
 11206 
 11207 
 11208 * reorganized the main HOL image: HOL/Integ and String loaded by
 11209 default; theory Main includes everything;
 11210 
 11211 * automatic simplification of integer sums and comparisons, using cancellation;
 11212 
 11213 * added option_map_eq_Some and not_Some_eq to the default simpset and claset;
 11214 
 11215 * added disj_not1 = "(~P | Q) = (P --> Q)" to the default simpset;
 11216 
 11217 * many new identities for unions, intersections, set difference, etc.;
 11218 
 11219 * expand_if, expand_split, expand_sum_case and expand_nat_case are now
 11220 called split_if, split_split, split_sum_case and split_nat_case (to go
 11221 with add/delsplits);
 11222 
 11223 * HOL/Prod introduces simplification procedure unit_eq_proc rewriting
 11224 (?x::unit) = (); this is made part of the default simpset, which COULD
 11225 MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL under rare circumstances (consider
 11226 'Delsimprocs [unit_eq_proc];' as last resort); also note that
 11227 unit_abs_eta_conv is added in order to counter the effect of
 11228 unit_eq_proc on (%u::unit. f u), replacing it by f rather than by
 11229 %u.f();
 11230 
 11231 * HOL/Fun INCOMPATIBILITY: `inj_onto' is now called `inj_on' (which
 11232 makes more sense);
 11233 
 11234 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 11235   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 11236   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 11237 
 11238 * HOL/Relation INCOMPATIBILITY: renamed the relational operator r^-1
 11239 to 'converse' from 'inverse' (for compatibility with ZF and some
 11240 literature);
 11241 
 11242 * HOL/recdef can now declare non-recursive functions, with {} supplied as
 11243 the well-founded relation;
 11244 
 11245 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: the complement of set A is now written -A instead of
 11246     Compl A.  The "Compl" syntax remains available as input syntax for this
 11247     release ONLY.
 11248 
 11249 * HOL/Update: new theory of function updates:
 11250     f(a:=b) == %x. if x=a then b else f x
 11251 may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 11252 
 11253 * HOL/Vimage: new theory for inverse image of a function, syntax f-``B;
 11254 
 11255 * HOL/List:
 11256   - new function list_update written xs[i:=v] that updates the i-th
 11257     list position. May also be iterated as in xs[i:=a,j:=b,...].
 11258   - new function `upt' written [i..j(] which generates the list
 11259     [i,i+1,...,j-1], i.e. the upper bound is excluded. To include the upper
 11260     bound write [i..j], which is a shorthand for [i..j+1(].
 11261   - new lexicographic orderings and corresponding wellfoundedness theorems.
 11262 
 11263 * HOL/Arith:
 11264   - removed 'pred' (predecessor) function;
 11265   - generalized some theorems about n-1;
 11266   - many new laws about "div" and "mod";
 11267   - new laws about greatest common divisors (see theory ex/Primes);
 11268 
 11269 * HOL/Relation: renamed the relational operator r^-1 "converse"
 11270 instead of "inverse";
 11271 
 11272 * HOL/Induct/Multiset: a theory of multisets, including the wellfoundedness
 11273   of the multiset ordering;
 11274 
 11275 * directory HOL/Real: a construction of the reals using Dedekind cuts
 11276   (not included by default);
 11277 
 11278 * directory HOL/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY formalism;
 11279 
 11280 * directory HOL/Hoare: a new version of Hoare logic which permits many-sorted
 11281   programs, i.e. different program variables may have different types.
 11282 
 11283 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 11284   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 11285   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 11286 
 11287 
 11288 *** ZF ***
 11289 
 11290 * theory Main includes everything; INCOMPATIBILITY: theory ZF.thy contains
 11291   only the theorems proved on ZF.ML;
 11292 
 11293 * ZF INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 11294   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 11295   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 11296 
 11297 * ZF/Update: new theory of function updates
 11298     with default rewrite rule  f(x:=y) ` z = if(z=x, y, f`z)
 11299   may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 11300 
 11301 * in  let x=t in u(x), neither t nor u(x) has to be an FOL term.
 11302 
 11303 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 11304   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 11305   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 11306 
 11307 * case_tac provided for compatibility with HOL
 11308     (like the old excluded_middle_tac, but with subgoals swapped)
 11309 
 11310 
 11311 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
 11312 
 11313 * Pure: several new basic modules made available for general use, see
 11314 also src/Pure/README;
 11315 
 11316 * improved the theory data mechanism to support encapsulation (data
 11317 kind name replaced by private Object.kind, acting as authorization
 11318 key); new type-safe user interface via functor TheoryDataFun; generic
 11319 print_data function becomes basically useless;
 11320 
 11321 * removed global_names compatibility flag -- all theory declarations
 11322 are qualified by default;
 11323 
 11324 * module Pure/Syntax now offers quote / antiquote translation
 11325 functions (useful for Hoare logic etc. with implicit dependencies);
 11326 see HOL/ex/Antiquote for an example use;
 11327 
 11328 * Simplifier now offers conversions (asm_)(full_)rewrite: simpset ->
 11329 cterm -> thm;
 11330 
 11331 * new tactical CHANGED_GOAL for checking that a tactic modifies a
 11332 subgoal;
 11333 
 11334 * Display.print_goals function moved to Locale.print_goals;
 11335 
 11336 * standard print function for goals supports current_goals_markers
 11337 variable for marking begin of proof, end of proof, start of goal; the
 11338 default is ("", "", ""); setting current_goals_markers := ("<proof>",
 11339 "</proof>", "<goal>") causes SGML like tagged proof state printing,
 11340 for example;
 11341 
 11342 
 11343 
 11344 New in Isabelle98 (January 1998)
 11345 --------------------------------
 11346 
 11347 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 11348 
 11349 * changed lexical syntax of terms / types: dots made part of long
 11350 identifiers, e.g. "%x.x" no longer possible, should be "%x. x";
 11351 
 11352 * simpset (and claset) reference variable replaced by functions
 11353 simpset / simpset_ref;
 11354 
 11355 * no longer supports theory aliases (via merge) and non-trivial
 11356 implicit merge of thms' signatures;
 11357 
 11358 * most internal names of constants changed due to qualified names;
 11359 
 11360 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML);
 11361 
 11362 
 11363 *** General Changes ***
 11364 
 11365 * hierachically structured name spaces (for consts, types, axms, thms
 11366 etc.); new lexical class 'longid' (e.g. Foo.bar.x) may render much of
 11367 old input syntactically incorrect (e.g. "%x.x"); COMPATIBILITY:
 11368 isatool fixdots ensures space after dots (e.g. "%x. x"); set
 11369 long_names for fully qualified output names; NOTE: ML programs
 11370 (special tactics, packages etc.) referring to internal names may have
 11371 to be adapted to cope with fully qualified names; in case of severe
 11372 backward campatibility problems try setting 'global_names' at compile
 11373 time to have enrything declared within a flat name space; one may also
 11374 fine tune name declarations in theories via the 'global' and 'local'
 11375 section;
 11376 
 11377 * reimplemented the implicit simpset and claset using the new anytype
 11378 data filed in signatures; references simpset:simpset ref etc. are
 11379 replaced by functions simpset:unit->simpset and
 11380 simpset_ref:unit->simpset ref; COMPATIBILITY: use isatool fixclasimp
 11381 to patch your ML files accordingly;
 11382 
 11383 * HTML output now includes theory graph data for display with Java
 11384 applet or isatool browser; data generated automatically via isatool
 11385 usedir (see -i option, ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS);
 11386 
 11387 * defs may now be conditional; improved rewrite_goals_tac to handle
 11388 conditional equations;
 11389 
 11390 * defs now admits additional type arguments, using TYPE('a) syntax;
 11391 
 11392 * theory aliases via merge (e.g. M=A+B+C) no longer supported, always
 11393 creates a new theory node; implicit merge of thms' signatures is
 11394 restricted to 'trivial' ones; COMPATIBILITY: one may have to use
 11395 transfer:theory->thm->thm in (rare) cases;
 11396 
 11397 * improved handling of draft signatures / theories; draft thms (and
 11398 ctyps, cterms) are automatically promoted to real ones;
 11399 
 11400 * slightly changed interfaces for oracles: admit many per theory, named
 11401 (e.g. oracle foo = mlfun), additional name argument for invoke_oracle;
 11402 
 11403 * print_goals: optional output of const types (set show_consts and
 11404 show_types);
 11405 
 11406 * improved output of warnings (###) and errors (***);
 11407 
 11408 * subgoal_tac displays a warning if the new subgoal has type variables;
 11409 
 11410 * removed old README and Makefiles;
 11411 
 11412 * replaced print_goals_ref hook by print_current_goals_fn and result_error_fn;
 11413 
 11414 * removed obsolete init_pps and init_database;
 11415 
 11416 * deleted the obsolete tactical STATE, which was declared by
 11417     fun STATE tacfun st = tacfun st st;
 11418 
 11419 * cd and use now support path variables, e.g. $ISABELLE_HOME, or ~
 11420 (which abbreviates $HOME);
 11421 
 11422 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML); COMPATIBILITY:
 11423 use isatool fixseq to adapt your ML programs (this works for fully
 11424 qualified references to the Sequence structure only!);
 11425 
 11426 * use_thy no longer requires writable current directory; it always
 11427 reloads .ML *and* .thy file, if either one is out of date;
 11428 
 11429 
 11430 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 11431 
 11432 * Clarify_tac, clarify_tac, clarify_step_tac, Clarify_step_tac: new
 11433 tactics that use classical reasoning to simplify a subgoal without
 11434 splitting it into several subgoals;
 11435 
 11436 * Safe_tac: like safe_tac but uses the default claset;
 11437 
 11438 
 11439 *** Simplifier ***
 11440 
 11441 * added simplification meta rules:
 11442     (asm_)(full_)simplify: simpset -> thm -> thm;
 11443 
 11444 * simplifier.ML no longer part of Pure -- has to be loaded by object
 11445 logics (again);
 11446 
 11447 * added prems argument to simplification procedures;
 11448 
 11449 * HOL, FOL, ZF: added infix function `addsplits':
 11450   instead of `<simpset> setloop (split_tac <thms>)'
 11451   you can simply write `<simpset> addsplits <thms>'
 11452 
 11453 
 11454 *** Syntax ***
 11455 
 11456 * TYPE('a) syntax for type reflection terms;
 11457 
 11458 * no longer handles consts with name "" -- declare as 'syntax' instead;
 11459 
 11460 * pretty printer: changed order of mixfix annotation preference (again!);
 11461 
 11462 * Pure: fixed idt/idts vs. pttrn/pttrns syntactic categories;
 11463 
 11464 
 11465 *** HOL ***
 11466 
 11467 * HOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 11468   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 11469 
 11470 * HOL/TLA: Stephan Merz's formalization of Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions;
 11471 
 11472 * HOL/Auth: new protocol proofs including some for the Internet
 11473   protocol TLS;
 11474 
 11475 * HOL/Map: new theory of `maps' a la VDM;
 11476 
 11477 * HOL/simplifier: simplification procedures nat_cancel_sums for
 11478 cancelling out common nat summands from =, <, <= (in)equalities, or
 11479 differences; simplification procedures nat_cancel_factor for
 11480 cancelling common factor from =, <, <= (in)equalities over natural
 11481 sums; nat_cancel contains both kinds of procedures, it is installed by
 11482 default in Arith.thy -- this COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL;
 11483 
 11484 * HOL/simplifier: terms of the form
 11485   `? x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x)'  (or t=x)
 11486   are rewritten to
 11487   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t)',
 11488   and those of the form
 11489   `! x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x) --> R(x)'  (or t=x)
 11490   are rewritten to
 11491   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t) --> R(t)',
 11492 
 11493 * HOL/datatype
 11494   Each datatype `t' now comes with a theorem `split_t_case' of the form
 11495 
 11496   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 11497      ( (!y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 --> P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) &
 11498         ...
 11499        (!y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn --> P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 11500      )
 11501 
 11502   and a theorem `split_t_case_asm' of the form
 11503 
 11504   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 11505     ~( (? y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 & ~P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) |
 11506         ...
 11507        (? y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn & ~P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 11508      )
 11509   which can be added to a simpset via `addsplits'. The existing theorems
 11510   expand_list_case and expand_option_case have been renamed to
 11511   split_list_case and split_option_case.
 11512 
 11513 * HOL/Arithmetic:
 11514   - `pred n' is automatically converted to `n-1'.
 11515     Users are strongly encouraged not to use `pred' any longer,
 11516     because it will disappear altogether at some point.
 11517   - Users are strongly encouraged to write "0 < n" rather than
 11518     "n ~= 0". Theorems and proof tools have been modified towards this
 11519     `standard'.
 11520 
 11521 * HOL/Lists:
 11522   the function "set_of_list" has been renamed "set" (and its theorems too);
 11523   the function "nth" now takes its arguments in the reverse order and
 11524   has acquired the infix notation "!" as in "xs!n".
 11525 
 11526 * HOL/Set: UNIV is now a constant and is no longer translated to Compl{};
 11527 
 11528 * HOL/Set: The operator (UN x.B x) now abbreviates (UN x:UNIV. B x) and its
 11529   specialist theorems (like UN1_I) are gone.  Similarly for (INT x.B x);
 11530 
 11531 * HOL/record: extensible records with schematic structural subtyping
 11532 (single inheritance); EXPERIMENTAL version demonstrating the encoding,
 11533 still lacks various theorems and concrete record syntax;
 11534 
 11535 
 11536 *** HOLCF ***
 11537 
 11538 * removed "axioms" and "generated by" sections;
 11539 
 11540 * replaced "ops" section by extended "consts" section, which is capable of
 11541   handling the continuous function space "->" directly;
 11542 
 11543 * domain package:
 11544   . proves theorems immediately and stores them in the theory,
 11545   . creates hierachical name space,
 11546   . now uses normal mixfix annotations (instead of cinfix...),
 11547   . minor changes to some names and values (for consistency),
 11548   . e.g. cases -> casedist, dists_eq -> dist_eqs, [take_lemma] -> take_lemmas,
 11549   . separator between mutual domain defs: changed "," to "and",
 11550   . improved handling of sort constraints;  now they have to
 11551     appear on the left-hand side of the equations only;
 11552 
 11553 * fixed LAM <x,y,zs>.b syntax;
 11554 
 11555 * added extended adm_tac to simplifier in HOLCF -- can now discharge
 11556 adm (%x. P (t x)), where P is chainfinite and t continuous;
 11557 
 11558 
 11559 *** FOL and ZF ***
 11560 
 11561 * FOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 11562   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 11563 
 11564 * qed_spec_mp, qed_goal_spec_mp, qed_goalw_spec_mp are available, as
 11565 in HOL, they strip ALL and --> from proved theorems;
 11566 
 11567 
 11568 
 11569 New in Isabelle94-8 (May 1997)
 11570 ------------------------------
 11571 
 11572 *** General Changes ***
 11573 
 11574 * new utilities to build / run / maintain Isabelle etc. (in parts
 11575 still somewhat experimental); old Makefiles etc. still functional;
 11576 
 11577 * new 'Isabelle System Manual';
 11578 
 11579 * INSTALL text, together with ./configure and ./build scripts;
 11580 
 11581 * reimplemented type inference for greater efficiency, better error
 11582 messages and clean internal interface;
 11583 
 11584 * prlim command for dealing with lots of subgoals (an easier way of
 11585 setting goals_limit);
 11586 
 11587 
 11588 *** Syntax ***
 11589 
 11590 * supports alternative (named) syntax tables (parser and pretty
 11591 printer); internal interface is provided by add_modesyntax(_i);
 11592 
 11593 * Pure, FOL, ZF, HOL, HOLCF now support symbolic input and output; to
 11594 be used in conjunction with the Isabelle symbol font; uses the
 11595 "symbols" syntax table;
 11596 
 11597 * added token_translation interface (may translate name tokens in
 11598 arbitrary ways, dependent on their type (free, bound, tfree, ...) and
 11599 the current print_mode); IMPORTANT: user print translation functions
 11600 are responsible for marking newly introduced bounds
 11601 (Syntax.mark_boundT);
 11602 
 11603 * token translations for modes "xterm" and "xterm_color" that display
 11604 names in bold, underline etc. or colors (which requires a color
 11605 version of xterm);
 11606 
 11607 * infixes may now be declared with names independent of their syntax;
 11608 
 11609 * added typed_print_translation (like print_translation, but may
 11610 access type of constant);
 11611 
 11612 
 11613 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 11614 
 11615 Blast_tac: a new tactic!  It is often more powerful than fast_tac, but has
 11616 some limitations.  Blast_tac...
 11617   + ignores addss, addbefore, addafter; this restriction is intrinsic
 11618   + ignores elimination rules that don't have the correct format
 11619         (the conclusion MUST be a formula variable)
 11620   + ignores types, which can make HOL proofs fail
 11621   + rules must not require higher-order unification, e.g. apply_type in ZF
 11622     [message "Function Var's argument not a bound variable" relates to this]
 11623   + its proof strategy is more general but can actually be slower
 11624 
 11625 * substitution with equality assumptions no longer permutes other
 11626 assumptions;
 11627 
 11628 * minor changes in semantics of addafter (now called addaltern); renamed
 11629 setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to compWrapper; added safe wrapper
 11630 (and access functions for it);
 11631 
 11632 * improved combination of classical reasoner and simplifier:
 11633   + functions for handling clasimpsets
 11634   + improvement of addss: now the simplifier is called _after_ the
 11635     safe steps.
 11636   + safe variant of addss called addSss: uses safe simplifications
 11637     _during_ the safe steps. It is more complete as it allows multiple
 11638     instantiations of unknowns (e.g. with slow_tac).
 11639 
 11640 *** Simplifier ***
 11641 
 11642 * added interface for simplification procedures (functions that
 11643 produce *proven* rewrite rules on the fly, depending on current
 11644 redex);
 11645 
 11646 * ordering on terms as parameter (used for ordered rewriting);
 11647 
 11648 * new functions delcongs, deleqcongs, and Delcongs. richer rep_ss;
 11649 
 11650 * the solver is now split into a safe and an unsafe part.
 11651 This should be invisible for the normal user, except that the
 11652 functions setsolver and addsolver have been renamed to setSolver and
 11653 addSolver; added safe_asm_full_simp_tac;
 11654 
 11655 
 11656 *** HOL ***
 11657 
 11658 * a generic induction tactic `induct_tac' which works for all datatypes and
 11659 also for type `nat';
 11660 
 11661 * a generic case distinction tactic `exhaust_tac' which works for all
 11662 datatypes and also for type `nat';
 11663 
 11664 * each datatype comes with a function `size';
 11665 
 11666 * patterns in case expressions allow tuple patterns as arguments to
 11667 constructors, for example `case x of [] => ... | (x,y,z)#ps => ...';
 11668 
 11669 * primrec now also works with type nat;
 11670 
 11671 * recdef: a new declaration form, allows general recursive functions to be
 11672 defined in theory files.  See HOL/ex/Fib, HOL/ex/Primes, HOL/Subst/Unify.
 11673 
 11674 * the constant for negation has been renamed from "not" to "Not" to
 11675 harmonize with FOL, ZF, LK, etc.;
 11676 
 11677 * HOL/ex/LFilter theory of a corecursive "filter" functional for
 11678 infinite lists;
 11679 
 11680 * HOL/Modelcheck demonstrates invocation of model checker oracle;
 11681 
 11682 * HOL/ex/Ring.thy declares cring_simp, which solves equational
 11683 problems in commutative rings, using axiomatic type classes for + and *;
 11684 
 11685 * more examples in HOL/MiniML and HOL/Auth;
 11686 
 11687 * more default rewrite rules for quantifiers, union/intersection;
 11688 
 11689 * a new constant `arbitrary == @x.False';
 11690 
 11691 * HOLCF/IOA replaces old HOL/IOA;
 11692 
 11693 * HOLCF changes: derived all rules and arities
 11694   + axiomatic type classes instead of classes
 11695   + typedef instead of faking type definitions
 11696   + eliminated the internal constants less_fun, less_cfun, UU_fun, UU_cfun etc.
 11697   + new axclasses cpo, chfin, flat with flat < chfin < pcpo < cpo < po
 11698   + eliminated the types void, one, tr
 11699   + use unit lift and bool lift (with translations) instead of one and tr
 11700   + eliminated blift from Lift3.thy (use Def instead of blift)
 11701   all eliminated rules are derived as theorems --> no visible changes ;
 11702 
 11703 
 11704 *** ZF ***
 11705 
 11706 * ZF now has Fast_tac, Simp_tac and Auto_tac.  Union_iff is a now a default
 11707 rewrite rule; this may affect some proofs.  eq_cs is gone but can be put back
 11708 as ZF_cs addSIs [equalityI];
 11709 
 11710 
 11711 
 11712 New in Isabelle94-7 (November 96)
 11713 ---------------------------------
 11714 
 11715 * allowing negative levels (as offsets) in prlev and choplev;
 11716 
 11717 * super-linear speedup for large simplifications;
 11718 
 11719 * FOL, ZF and HOL now use miniscoping: rewriting pushes
 11720 quantifications in as far as possible (COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS
 11721 FAIL); can suppress it using the command Delsimps (ex_simps @
 11722 all_simps); De Morgan laws are also now included, by default;
 11723 
 11724 * improved printing of ==>  :  ~:
 11725 
 11726 * new object-logic "Sequents" adds linear logic, while replacing LK
 11727 and Modal (thanks to Sara Kalvala);
 11728 
 11729 * HOL/Auth: correctness proofs for authentication protocols;
 11730 
 11731 * HOL: new auto_tac combines rewriting and classical reasoning (many
 11732 examples on HOL/Auth);
 11733 
 11734 * HOL: new command AddIffs for declaring theorems of the form P=Q to
 11735 the rewriter and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 11736 
 11737 * function uresult no longer returns theorems in "standard" format;
 11738 regain previous version by: val uresult = standard o uresult;
 11739 
 11740 
 11741 
 11742 New in Isabelle94-6
 11743 -------------------
 11744 
 11745 * oracles -- these establish an interface between Isabelle and trusted
 11746 external reasoners, which may deliver results as theorems;
 11747 
 11748 * proof objects (in particular record all uses of oracles);
 11749 
 11750 * Simp_tac, Fast_tac, etc. that refer to implicit simpset / claset;
 11751 
 11752 * "constdefs" section in theory files;
 11753 
 11754 * "primrec" section (HOL) no longer requires names;
 11755 
 11756 * internal type "tactic" now simply "thm -> thm Sequence.seq";
 11757 
 11758 
 11759 
 11760 New in Isabelle94-5
 11761 -------------------
 11762 
 11763 * reduced space requirements;
 11764 
 11765 * automatic HTML generation from theories;
 11766 
 11767 * theory files no longer require "..." (quotes) around most types;
 11768 
 11769 * new examples, including two proofs of the Church-Rosser theorem;
 11770 
 11771 * non-curried (1994) version of HOL is no longer distributed;
 11772 
 11773 
 11774 
 11775 New in Isabelle94-4
 11776 -------------------
 11777 
 11778 * greatly reduced space requirements;
 11779 
 11780 * theory files (.thy) no longer require \...\ escapes at line breaks;
 11781 
 11782 * searchable theorem database (see the section "Retrieving theorems" on
 11783 page 8 of the Reference Manual);
 11784 
 11785 * new examples, including Grabczewski's monumental case study of the
 11786 Axiom of Choice;
 11787 
 11788 * The previous version of HOL renamed to Old_HOL;
 11789 
 11790 * The new version of HOL (previously called CHOL) uses a curried syntax
 11791 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b);
 11792 
 11793 * Mutually recursive inductive definitions finally work in HOL;
 11794 
 11795 * In ZF, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions and
 11796 translates to the operator "split";
 11797 
 11798 
 11799 
 11800 New in Isabelle94-3
 11801 -------------------
 11802 
 11803 * new infix operator, addss, allowing the classical reasoner to
 11804 perform simplification at each step of its search.  Example:
 11805         fast_tac (cs addss ss)
 11806 
 11807 * a new logic, CHOL, the same as HOL, but with a curried syntax
 11808 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b).  Also pairs
 11809 look like (a,b) instead of <a,b>;
 11810 
 11811 * PLEASE NOTE: CHOL will eventually replace HOL!
 11812 
 11813 * In CHOL, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions.
 11814 It translates to the operator "split".  A new theory of integers is available;
 11815 
 11816 * In ZF, integer numerals now denote two's-complement binary integers.
 11817 Arithmetic operations can be performed by rewriting.  See ZF/ex/Bin.ML;
 11818 
 11819 * Many new examples: I/O automata, Church-Rosser theorem, equivalents
 11820 of the Axiom of Choice;
 11821 
 11822 
 11823 
 11824 New in Isabelle94-2
 11825 -------------------
 11826 
 11827 * Significantly faster resolution;
 11828 
 11829 * the different sections in a .thy file can now be mixed and repeated
 11830 freely;
 11831 
 11832 * Database of theorems for FOL, HOL and ZF.  New
 11833 commands including qed, qed_goal and bind_thm store theorems in the database.
 11834 
 11835 * Simple database queries: return a named theorem (get_thm) or all theorems of
 11836 a given theory (thms_of), or find out what theory a theorem was proved in
 11837 (theory_of_thm);
 11838 
 11839 * Bugs fixed in the inductive definition and datatype packages;
 11840 
 11841 * The classical reasoner provides deepen_tac and depth_tac, making FOL_dup_cs
 11842 and HOL_dup_cs obsolete;
 11843 
 11844 * Syntactic ambiguities caused by the new treatment of syntax in Isabelle94-1
 11845 have been removed;
 11846 
 11847 * Simpler definition of function space in ZF;
 11848 
 11849 * new results about cardinal and ordinal arithmetic in ZF;
 11850 
 11851 * 'subtype' facility in HOL for introducing new types as subsets of existing
 11852 types;
